Astrology observations - Part 6 (use whole signs and sidereal)

🐻‍❄️ I said it before that moon in 6th house people can be great leaders, and since then I met 4 new people with moon in 6th and I've come to the conclusion that rather than being the leader, these people work better as the right hand person of a leader. They're much better at following the instructions rather than giving them.

🔵 If you are a girl, and you have mars aspecting Saturn and vice versa, I would HIGHLY recommend you guys to marry a non binary person. This placement can cause unpleasant situations to arise if you don't take the right measures. So I won't say, don't marry, or your married life will be bad, but rather, marry someone who is comfortable expressing both their feminine and masculine side.

🐻‍❄️ if your 7th lord of d1 is in the 3rd house of d9 and the planet is a natural malefic like, Saturn, mars or sun, then it can make you fight with your siblings after marriage. I know 3 people with this and now none of them talk to their siblings. So i would recommend you guys to not listen to your spouse when it comes to your siblings. If you have a good relationship with siblings then first, talk to them rather than believing someone who you just met.

🔵 In vedic, sun is considered to be dead when it's in the 12th house, and the common interpretation is that they cannot be good leaders but I view it a little differently. I know a lot of people with this who are SOO GOOD at leading people BUT they have zero self confidence and it genuinely pisses me off so much because one of my friend has this and I always push her to apply for HOD positions but she's like "no, I can't do it" like GIRL, ATLEAST TRY FIRST. So if you have this, just trust yourself and apply for that position. All I'll say is "A real loser is someone who is so afraid of not winning, they don't even try"

🐻‍❄️ I know quite a few people who say that mars in Aries/ scorpio is better when it's in the chart of a man but I don't agree with that. Maybe I'm being biased because I have it but I think that women handle this placement better. Men already have so much fucking audacity and with mars being so strong it just gets multiplied by 100. I feel like these are the men who make podcasts about how a woman's purpose is to be a submissive breedable bitch for a man. Whereas, some of the most successful businesswomen have their mars in Aries/Scorpio/ Capricorn (the effect is multiplied when it's in the 1,4,7, 10 house). women are literally taught to put everyone else's needs before theirs but with mars being so strong they don't give a fuck, because now they embody those traditional "masculine" traits like being a selfish asshole.

🔵 Honestly, the real men, the ones who embody all the good masculine traits are those who have Jupiter in 1,4,10 house. I can give 100 examples from my personal life but, all I'll say is that Keanu Reeves has this....they are the ones who are actually the protectors, providers, brave, strong and dominant in a gentle way. Also, I'm like 100% sure that Carlisle Cullen would have this if he was a real person.

🐻‍❄️ Also, 7th lord of d9 in 1st or 4th house of d9 gives you a future spouse who represents your "ideal type". As I've said many times before, I only know 2 happily married straight couples 🥲 and both of them have this, so in one couple, both the wife and the husband have it and in another, the wife has it. I also know a lesbian couple and both the wives have this. I didn't cross check it with celebrities since most of them put on a facade.

🔵 Jupiter in 6th house....these people have such good luck. It's like, they get everything so easily and the worst part is that they don't know how to work and yet they keep on getting promoted because of nepotism and corruption, and the person who says anything against them gets fired. I wish I was making this observation based on one person, but I know FIVE people with this and it's the same case with all of them.

🐻‍❄️ Mercury in 10th is a placement that I've been seeing quite a lot these days, literally every chart I see has this. These people can be GREAT therapists and journalists from what I've seen, or they may also be the "mom" friend in their group. They're also very social and love interacting with people, they may be the most beloved in their friend group like "if you don't go then we won't go either" type. I'm a little jealous of them tbh, love their ability to light up the room with their presence.

🔵 Venus in 8th, I feel like this is going to be a little negative 😭. These people are very much into the hook up culture, especially men. I feel like they would be happier in a polyamorous relationship. This is also the placement that I do not like seeing in d9, I don't fuck with people who have this but I know many people who are okay with such unconventional relationships, and if you're one of those, then good for you. You don't have to fit in boxes made by other people. If you like something, then you like that, period. (If you're not like this, good, don't start ranting in the comments, it's annoying)

RANDOM ASTRO OBSERVATIONS #10

Nobody's safe. That's it. That's the disclaimer.

Libra Jupiter in 11th house can indicate having many opportunities in life that come through friendships and connections with others. People with this placement can often get very far in life simply because they talked to the right people at the right times. This is especially true if they also have Libra in their big 3 or Libra mercury.

Capricorn suns with Sagittarius mercury are surprisingly chill compared to the usual stoic reputation of Capricorn and energetic rep that Sagittarius has. My favorite friends and colleagues have this combination of placements and they are quite easy to get along with and fun to be around.

Very much like Virgo suns with Libra mercury, they can appear quiet and reserved at first, but become lively and chatty once they know you and have decided they like you. However unlike Virgo sun/Libra mercury people (who usually censor their words/tone and think out loud or form their opinions by talking through them first), not only are they a lot blunter (or straightforward, when older), they are more sure about where they stand, or certain of what they want to say on a topic before they say it.

Libra Mercury in the 11th house can have a lot of friends or just make and keep acquaintances very easily. These are the people who always "know a guy" or can say "my homegirl does that!" almost no matter what problem or need you have. They just know someone who can fix it. They are popular people, or at least seem that way to others.

They can sometimes appear to have a much larger network of friends and connections than they do, which is why many of them tend to either keep their friend/friend groups separate or may prefer to maintain superficial/lightweight connections with others over deeper and more intimate connections that would reveal more.

Capricorn Venus in 8th house people can go through a lot of one-sided relationships before landing the right person. They are probably the most caring and attentive of all the Venus sigs, but from my observations they are taken advantage of a lot and often treated very poorly by the majority of their partners.

My childhood friend has this placement (as well as a few of my relatives) and for over a decade I watched her pour so much love and care into men who ended up treating her like an afterthought. I never understood why, as she was very much what you'd think most males would consider wifey material.

She cooked, baked, was organized, and very clean. Motherly instincts intact, had a good job in healthcare and her own place. Knew how to kick back and have fun but could also be appropriately authoritative in the sense of managing a household. Like you could just tell she would be a firm yet loving mother, or even if she did not have kids, you could tell she would be the kind of wife where the husband could hand her his entire paycheck if he wanted and not have to worry for a second that she would blow it on anything foolish. Very capable and responsible woman. I used to get so angry at the way men would come into her life and enjoy all the things she would do for them, including having her manage their money. It was a bit surprising for me how quickly and easily men would put their finances in her hands, only for them to abruptly leave - usually for a woman who was chaotic and stressful too. I did not understand it then, and despite hearing all the talk about how men go for who they are passionate about even if they are the least productive, responsible, or capable person ever, I still don't get it now.

Capricorn in the 8th house can lead to a lot of situations where the native ends up handling other people's money because people can sense their stable energy and innate responsibility. But it can lead to the person feeling like they are nothing but a personal assistant or sentient savings account to others, and over time they can become (100% understandably) bitter if they do not meet someone genuine and kind in time to avoid this.

Aquarius in 6th house can have unusual or eccentric daily routines, or little quirks in the way they go about day to day tasks and responsibilities. I knew someone with this placement who could only brush his teeth in the morning and shower at night. He couldn't really bring himself to do it the other way around and would simply not do the thing at all that day if something disrupted that routine. He also had a job where his # of hours was consistent but his actual shift times weren't and he liked it that way "for the variety." He hated the thought of a schedule where he would have to arrive and leave at the same time every day.

Cancer Lilith in 1st house women can often run into situations where men string them along for a very, very long time. These men sense the stereotypical "nurturing/motherly" essence of Cancer but Cancer Lilith women display a unique twist on this essence where it is very clear to onlookers that her individuality and sense of self cannot be watered down or blended out into others.

Cancer Lilith 1H (and to a lesser extent Taurus Lilith 1H) women are the type who can have a husband, kids, work and manage the home without losing a single ounce of who they always were.

From my observations, they usually don't experience the fate many women meet, where they wake up one day and realize that they haven't even heard their first name in weeks because they're only remembered and referred to in terms of who they are to someone else ("Mom," "John's girlfriend," "Mr. Jones' wife").

Unfortunately, this rubs some men the wrong way, who will then subconsciously try to hang on to the parts of the Cancer Lilith women they like, while searching for other women who don't trigger their fear of women who retain their personality after marriage/children.

Gemini Sun Virgo Rising people can appear put-together and organized in public but could have very messy rooms or just have trouble keeping things in order at home.

People with Pisces in their 7th house might feel torn between going after people they are genuinely attracted to and people they perceive to be a better match, for whatever reason. They could also end up confusing the sense of security they feel with someone for love, or feeling more secure with someone than they should because of love.

Gemini Mars in 10th house does not mind going out of their comfort zone to further their career. They may even set aside their own values and morals if they believe that doing something will produce a good return on their investment (of time, effort, money, etc.).

Taurus Mercury in 9th house enjoys talking to people from other cultures about the foods they eat and what their daily routines and special/holiday ritual are like. They enjoy learning about other cultures on a more down-to-earth level, so they might be less interested in other philosophies and more into sensory differences.

Cancer Moon in 11th house identifies VERY strongly with their friend group and can become depressed or ill if there is too much discord between themselves and their friends, or between their friends with each other. They do not take kindly to any kind of abandonment from friends, real or imagined. If they decide you have left them or betrayed them one too many times, they will simply never speak to you again.

Virgo Mars people can be extremely picky when it comes to partners. One of my childhood friends has this placement and despite being a Sagittarius Sun & Mercury (along with having Venus in 9H), she barely has a romantic interest in anyone. She's not aromantic or asexual; she just gets the ick so easily that it is difficult for her to like anyone enough to date them for long. She didn't go into detail most of the time. She was the furthest from the kiss-and-tell kind of person, she would barely tell anyone even the name or age of anyone she was interested in, much less give details about her specific icks.

I tend to attract Virgo Mars people platonically and romantically quite often though, so I have other examples of the same trait.

My ex-husband is a Virgo sun with Virgo Mars and Leo Venus and the smallest things would throw him off. Like if I made scrambled eggs and all the pieces weren't perfectly yellow (if any got slightly browned, he would consider the entire pot as "burnt" and would ruin his day). If I did laundry and did not strictly separate the colors (I will wash black, dark grey, and bold colors clothes together. He will separate them all. I will wash off-white and very light grey or beige with white clothes. He would look at me crazy and ask me to just do a different household chore and leave the laundry to him. Hea

He also apparently got the ick from my frugality? Lol. I had cheap sneakers and dollar-store headphones when we first got together. A few weeks later he asked where I was and I told him I was at the mall with a friend. He showed up and wordlessly gave me brand-new Samsung Galaxy earbuds before driving home lmao. Then a couple weeks after that he bought me new AirMaxes and made it a point to tell me that my existing sneakers were so cheap. And that he got good ones for me in a style that "makes your feet look smaller." I guess my foot size was not to his liking. Lol. I'm almost 6 feet tall and wear size 9.5/10 women's shoes (for males reading this, that is around 8/8.5 in your sizes, so don't start, pls

A previous ex of mine (Cancer Sun) also had Virgo Mars (and Venus) but he had the opposite ick - he didn't like that I always wore nice jeans and blouses even if we were only going to Walmart or his friends' houses. Apparently, it was "off-putting" for him that I was "too fancy, never just dress down and look comfortable, even in the house." I was like... but I am comfortable? And he would be like, "Nah you're so fancy all the time, it's kinda weird, like do you even own any sweatpants? Your hair is never messy? It's like you're never just relaxed."

Um, as a Scorpio Venus/Jupiter, Libra Mercury person, messy hair will never be in the same room as comfortable for me but we are broken up for a reason, LOL.

Yeah Virgo Mars are just really, really picky. Idk how else to put it. They might be bothered by very different things, but they're all bothered in general! Love 'em regardless, they're also attentive and will know what you like and also what you need.

Leo Mars in 2nd house can have a hard time feeling satisfied with what they own or with their level of skill in certain areas. They don't usually express envy outwardly though. They will happily gas up their friends and colleagues, but implode on themselves in private.

They can have frequent pity parties or episodes of extreme self-loathing that only their closest friends or partners ever witness. It can be difficult to pull them out of these moods as they tend to feel like they either don't have enough or are not enough in some way.

Aquarius Eros men and masculine people are often attracted to women and feminine people with strong or eccentric personalities. They lust after the kinds of people who didn't even bother rocking the boat and jumped out to swim upstream and chill somewhere else.

However, unless they have Juno in Aquarius, Aquarius 7H or some other placements that support long-term relationships/marriages/longevity with unusual people or non-traditional elements, they eventually abandon such love interests for someone who fits better into societal expectations. Ask me how I know. :(

READ THE MAJESTIC VIRGO, well if you want.

PAID CHART READINGS, whoever is my 125 client gets everything cheaper than usual.

this knowledge has come from doing over 100+ chart readings, this is not pulled out of my ass..

♇ this post centres around pisces, neptune and the twelfth house, and how it is an underrated home of fame.

♇ neptune rules over cameras, glamour, paparazzi, stalking, projection and film, all strong themes of the realer side of fame, specifically paparazzi, stalking and projection.

♇ [in my opinion, i think the 12H, Neptune and Pisces are the most alike compared to the other signs and their rulers.]

♇ on the other hand, ten houses from the 3H is the 12H, 10 in astrology ruling over fame, career and publicity and the 3H governs over magazine and marketing, things celebrities have to be involved in to attain fame.

♇ to understand this post, we need to get into the symbolism of pisces, and hold on tight for this for you to understand! as pisces does represent neptune/poseidon, the sign pisces also represents is Jesus. the most known man, the most known person specifically.

♇ and even though social media does joke about it now and then, he is the most known "nepotism" kid. people with pisces placements especially in their big three or those who have jupiter in pisces are known for something specific, because Pisces gives it a boost because of the connection it has with Jupiter. [in traditional astrology, Jupiter ruled over Pisces], and Jupiter is supposed to symbolise God. and in shorter terms, it gives the nepotism boost to Pisces.

♇ before i go deeper, i am going to use examples of celebrities, their twelfth house and how fame was for them and how it impacted them.

Solver Marks - a MD headcanon

I think some peeps have seen it before on my art, but I absolutely love adding arrow markings on some of my OCs and even fan-interpretations of canon characters, and I really wanna share this headcanon with other peeps!

I've seen similar concepts/markings before and it's such a cool design aspect that I wanna spread it some more (pun intended)! :]

-

What are Solver Marks exactly? Solver Marks, or Solver Arrows, are a visual representation of a Solver infection in Drones. While a host or user (non-host) already have some visual differences indicating their status as infected, such as wings, tail, the emblem for the eye and/or eyes & LEDs changing to yellow during hosting the AS, the marks/arrows stick around as a semi-permanent sign of an infection. Similar to a scar or stretchmark these markings never fully fade, even if the Solver is exorcised from a Drone's OS, and they can appear at random all over its User's body.

-

Do these marks have any special abilities? By themselves, the marks don't have special abilities that enhance or strenghten a user's Solver abilities, but they do have some traits, such as 1.) Glowing when in use (usually the marking itself glows white, while the surrounding sheen corresponds to the LED color(s) of a Drone). 2.) Growing/branching off in number corresponding to the user's strenght / ability usage. Some of these branched arrows may fade/disappear fully again after the Solver powers stop being used, but the main markings won't fade out.

-

What do they look like? Solver Marks come in many varities and can appear anywhere on the body, though some of the placements may correspond to certain traits in the host/user. Placements such as the upper body, arms & legs are quite common, while facial marks or those on the back are less common and can range into "rare" territory.

The markings often "snake" around limbs such as the arms and legs, creating spirals and bands on these limbs. Inactive marks appear in a dark color, but can also be lighter - but they're never too light as to vanish against the drone's body colors. Marks on dark/black areas however will turn white when inactive, so they're always visible in most cases. Some marks may also be fully colored corresponding to the Drone's LED color, though these cases aren't that common.

Solver Marks are always in resemblance of arrows, but their shape is never 100% the same and differs slightly from Drone to Drone due to it's organic nature. They're sort of like tattoos and therefore aren't 100% similar, even if their code appears the same when viewed.

-

How does the "rarity" system work? Usually the amount & placement of markings and why they're "common" or "rare" has to do with both the age of the drone and the amount of time they had their powers/infection, as well as the general strenght of their infection. Not every solver-infected Drone has the same or similar power level.

A freshly infected drone may have none to very little markings which usually show up on the upper body or arm/hands, while drones who'd been infected for much longer (e.g 5-10 years and above) are often times in possession of quite a lot of markings that extend into the facial & back area.

Children of solver-infected drones who inherit the Solver code may also already have a certain amount of markings when their OS gets transitioned to their final body, with some rare cases already having these markings in the UNN form (pill babys). Placements may also be inherited from the infected parent(s).

One of the rarest placements is the black visor part, where the code for these markings glitches and has the visor display an LED marking next to the eyes. This happens when the Solver code executing these physical changes misjudges the placement, gets "confused" and adapts (mutates) the code into working as LED generated symbol, similar to the eyes.

The code for the Solver Marks is very unique in nature as in: It mutates & learns, in order to not trigger the anti-virus of the Drone's OS and possibly get interferred with. Solver Marks play a vital role in the Solver infection in this headcanon, so if the marking code gets messed up by the anti-virus the Solver Infection might become incredibly unstable and cause issues over time.

-

Can these markings become dangerous to the affected drone? Usually, the markings do not cause any damage or discomfort to the affected drone, though rare cases may occur in which the markings cause pain due to either a corrupted piece of coding or general issues with controlling the Solver infection itself. Sometimes the markings will cause physical harm due to these corrupted pieces, causing them to actually turn into scarring and causing injuries, which can be healed though if the corrupted piece of code is either removed from the Drone's OS or the Solver itself corrects the mistake (depending on the Drone's power level).

Since the markings are semi-sentient and can move / evolve on their own, their goal is not to cause harm or mutate, but rather to preserve the Solver infection and making it harder to be removed from a Drone's OS since the code for the marks also stores backups for the Solver itself, causing it to regenerate if these bits of backups aren't removed alongside the OG Solver code itself.

Title is from "Nobody" by Mitski

Border made by @sweetmelodygraphics

When you awoke, sunlight lit the entire room in a soft, warm glow. It was the most well rested you had felt in a while, and your body longed for you to stay tucked into the covers. The room had an old but comforting smell you hadn’t noticed last night. It was soothing. And for a minute, you almost forgot where you were. Almost.

You sat up quickly, which resulted in your head spinning. You tried to take in your surrounding with the world tilting, eventually everything returned to its rightful place.

You were alone in the room with no way to find the time. There was no clock, and the window wasn’t positioned in a way where you could gauge the sun’s placement in its crawl across the sky.

Your stomach growled. You opted to take the last sip of water from the bottle, hoping to quell it. It didn’t, but your throat wasn’t dry anymore.

How long were you asleep? Did Wesker forget to come get you? You didn’t like the idea of having to find your way through the mansion alone, but you might not be left with much choice. You slipped your shoes on and moved over to the mirror, using your hands to fix your hair to look more presentable.

Through the mirror, you saw the door open and Wesker slip in, a bag of something in his hand with a pleasant smell wafting from it. You’re not sure you’ve ever smelled something so enticing before.

“Good morning, I hope you slept well. I brought breakfast.” He held out the bag. “I was unsure if you drank coffee, so I’m afraid I didn’t bring you any.”

“Thank you. What time is it?” You take the bag from his hand gently.

“It’s around 10:45.”

Your panic set in. “That’s-”

“Don’t worry about it. I needed to discuss something with Edgington in private the moment he came in, no point in disturbing you when you’re not needed.”

Your gut sank. “Oh.” You told him more than you wanted to last night, your exhaustion and mental state betraying you. Who knows what Bruno is going to say. Or worse, what he’s going to do. Safe to say you’re not eating for a while.

Wesker cleared his throat, waving a hand to the desk in the room. “You should begin eating. We have work to do, and while I let you sleep in, starting much later will cause delays.”

“Sorry, right of course.” You sat and opened the bag, grabbing what was inside, finding a wrapped bagel sandwich. The first bite was glorious and the level of decorum you tried to hold wavered as you began to eat.

“In regard to what I spoke about with Edington.”

You stopped mid bite.

“I’m wanting you to work for me instead. Whatever he’s paying you, I can match, plus any benefits-”

“He’s not paying me, sir.”

There was a pause before he spoke again. “Then we can discuss a starting price.”

Questions flooded your mind, but they all began with the same word. “Why?”

“The why is not important. All you need to know is I’m willing to pay, it will be mostly the same work as what you did for him, maybe a few things extra. I mostly work nights, though occasionally I have a day shit. Do you have any questions pertaining to the offer?”

You chewed slowly, buying a moment to think. “I don’t have a car. Or any way to contact you outside of work.”

“That I can help arrange. Transportation might need to be discussed more, as we are more remote, but I have ways to get you here. I can also issue you a pager that we can use to contact each other.”

He was willing to hop through loops. You weren’t expecting that. “I’ll think on it.”

“I’d like to know as soon as possible, no later than today.”

“I’ll let you know before then mostly likely, if I can find your office.”

“I’ll be in my lab today. It’s not far from Edington’s, a few doors down. I can point it out on our way back.”

“Thank you.” You went back to your bagel.

He watched you as you finished eating. After your last bite, you returned the wrapping back to the bag.

“We can throw away the trash in the labs,” he said.

You nodded, getting up. “Lead the way.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruno’s office was empty when you arrived. The isolation was perfect, as it gave you the ability to think over Wesker’s offer.

Contrary to popular belief, you weren’t completely stupid. You knew how the researchers at Umbrella worked. He wanted you for something, if not he wanted to use you for something. The terrifying image of his hands on your body flashed in your mind. No, it likely wasn’t that. If he wanted such a service, he would have done so or made moves in the few times you’ve been left alone. Not an impossible outcome, but unlikely.

Chances were it had something to do with Bruno’s work. He wanted more information on it, and figured poaching the naïve assistant was a safe bet. He’s right. You don’t give a shit about Bruno’s job or the scientific advances he made. The only reason you haven’t gone full nuclear and brought it to the police is because you’d be caught in the crossfire. That and the police wouldn’t give a shit. They never did.

Bruno would be furious. Your life at home would be more hellish than usual.

But one thought kept circling back around. Bruno was under Wesker. And he seemed to be a figure that held a lot of sway. Hell, he didn’t even hesitate to offer the private property of his boss to your use.

That meant immunity. While you had his favor and were withing these four walls, Bruno couldn’t do anything. You’d be safe. Sure, you heard the whispers about what was done here, but if they decided to make you a Guinea pig, at least you were useful. You owed him anyways. He knew you for not even a few hours and provided you food, water, and shelter with seemingly no ties. Or it was to sway you to him. Can’t fault his methods, it worked. You were certainly swayed.

The nausea you’d been fighting all day returned, and you brought the trashcan back over to you.

One day off your medication and the withdrawal effects were brutal. Every time you missed it felt like you were dying. Nausea, dizzy spells, sensory overload, tremors, headaches. It was awful. The usual candle that you keep lit to soothe yourself felt like a punch to the olfactory system.

You’re going to be in a world of hell when you get to the labs, but first you have to ride out the wave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As suspected, the stench of the chemicals from the labs sucked.

You quickly peaked into the window of Bruno’s lab. His back was turned, and quite a few lab assistants were in there. You wondered why he hadn’t tried to track you down yet. You’re only guess was Wesker said something, but what you couldn’t guess.

Continuing forward, you found Wesker’s lab. There was no window to the door and a key card was needed to get in. You knocked and waited. After a second, the door opened revealing Wesker. Upon looking at you, he widened the door and held his arm out in invitation.

You stepped in and had to cover your nose at first.

“Problem with the smell?” He hummed.

“Withdrawal from my medicine leaves me feeling sick,” you replied quickly. “I wanted to give you my answer.”

“And?”

“I’ll do it.”

To your absolute surprise, he smiled. Well not a full beaming smile, more of a smirk. But still unsettling. “Then we should discuss details. I was planning on paying you hourly instead of salary. Is that fine?”

“What’s the difference?”

“Salary is a fixed income, though there are ways to increase it and receive bonuses. I suggest hourly as it will be easier to keep track of overtime and thus pay you what you’re owe. Though if later down the line we wish to change this we can. I was thinking of making out first contract 6 months to give us plenty of time to see if the terms we agree upon work, so don’t feel as if you’re trapped into the decision you make now. Does that sound adequate?”

“You really don’t have to ask me. I don’t have any reason to bargain for better.”

“You should. It could be your dignity on the line.”

“I never had much to begin with.”

“A shame.” He turns away to open a binder on the desk. It was only now that you realized the whole lab was empty except for the two of you.

“Are you the only one who uses this lab?”

“No, my associate Dr. Birkin who you saw the day of the meeting works here as well. You will most likely cross paths with him frequently. If he asks for assistance and you wish to help him, feel free, but not obliged. He knows the nature of our deal.” He turned back with a couple papers in his hand.

“These go over the specifics I have typed up for now. If you wish to change anything, write a note by it and we will go over it all at once. The final form concerns medical history. Due to the nature of our work here, there are somethings I need to know.”

“Of course.”

He placed them on the desk, alongside a pen, then pulled out the chair in front of it. “Feel free to take your time.” He walked over to what he was working on before you came in, you assume.

You sat down and began to read. Most of these words went over your head, but you were really trying to understand. After a few minutes of it, you started feeling jittery.

Having your back to the door was starting to unsettle you. The door might be secured with a key card, but that didn’t mean much. Someone could still come in. You don’t think he was lying when he said there was only two scientists that used this lab, but you highly doubt there was only two keycards. You looked around and saw that a corner by the door was empty, nothing taking up space and you’d be out of the way. You took the papers and the binder, making sure to keep your footsteps quiet as to not disturb him as you walked over.

After you sat down, you curled up into a more comfortable position and got back to the paperwork. You couldn’t understand most of the contract, though you got the gist of it. You went ahead and signed it. The medical paperwork seemed standard. It asked about past medical history, disabilities, etc. You filled it out accordingly.

Partway through, the door swung open. Due to your position behind the door, you couldn’t see who walked in, though you could hear him.

“That imbecilic jackass is sending us in circles.”

“Careful,” Wesker warned. He turned, initially facing towards the desk where you were sitting, then he looked across the room until he found you.

By this point you could see that the man that walked in was the other man from the meeting, Birkin you assume. He followed Wesker’s gaze and seemed to startle upon seeing you, before turning to his colleague.

“Albert don’t tell me you banished her to the floor,” he began with a scolding tone.

Wesker’s mouth opened but you beat him to it. “I prefer sitting here.”

He stared for a moment, before turning back to Wesker. “As I was saying, we’re being sent in circles. There’s no way we’ll get the results we need when we need them. And I don’t know if you heard the last notice from Spencer, but I’m not happy about it.” You decided to go back to the paperwork, since they were done talking to you.

“Should we have this discussion now?” Wesker growled.

Birkin nonchalantly waved. “She’s going to figure it out-”

“I meant to insinuate I was in the middle of something.”

“Ah, yes. Understandable. Is it the sequencing for the variant we found in our last test?”

“Yes, it’s quite tedious.”

Birkin chuckled. “Wasn’t that the whole reason you wanted her here?”

“Paperwork first.”

“Of course, legality is what we’re known for.”

You couldn’t help the smile that crept on your face at that comment, though you could feel the glare he shot Birkin beneath his glasses. He didn’t give a response, just turned back to his work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wesker turned away from his project a few hours later. Birkin had left some time ago, grabbing some papers and leaving with no fanfare. You read over the paperwork a few more times, before grabbing a book you found on a shelf near where you sat. It was a book on gene sequencing, and had a whole segment dedicated to all the known gene sequences for viruses. It wasn’t exciting, but it passed the time.

“Apologies, that needed to get done, though it wasn’t meant to take that long.”

“It’s fine. I understand.” You put the book back on the shelf and stood up with the documents in hand.

He began to cross the room. “I won’t keep you much longer, it’s about time for your ride to clock out. I just want to go over your medical papers quickly.”

You nodded, handing him the papers. He was quiet as we went over everything, paused, and then grabbed a pen. “There’s a question missing. What’s your designation?”

“Beta, most likely,” you reply. “My mom suspects that I have some kind of disorder where I doesn’t present in normal means, including producing scents. She also thinks my sense of smell was messed up too, as I can’t smell people’s scents.”

“Interesting,” he hums. “But no diagnosis?”

“My mom doesn’t like doctors.” If only it were that simple.

“Tomorrow I’ll come in closer to when Edington leaves. I should have a keycard for you as well as the pager, though that item is still in the air. Any questions?”

“No, sir.”

His smirk returned. “See you soon. It’ll be a pleasure working with you.”

You left the room, feeling like a bird that put itself in the snake’s den.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Month one.

Working with Wesker was far better than working with Bruno. You’re pretty sure what he’s doing- as Birkin joked- was highly illegal. Granted Bruno’s work wasn’t getting him invited to the Vatican any time soon, but he seemed to mostly deal with animals and their DNA. Wesker seemed to deal with a lot of human elements.

Not like you’re going to start caring now.

Wesker had you transcribe a lot while he was working, similar to your time with Bruno, but you wouldn’t be completely constrained to the lab or his office (which you rarely saw). He frequently would have you run notes or papers around the facility. You had breaks when he did, and when he got food, he brought some for you. Even the night hours, which you thought you would dread, became a blessing. You got to hide away to sleep during the day. With the money you were bringing in, Bruno wouldn’t say shit about you not being around much.

It was one of those nights that was slower. Wesker didn’t need you to do much, you were only there in case he needs you to grab something. You had finished part of the book about gene sequences, instead now at the part explaining what the gene sequences did specifically.

“You read a lot.”

You looked up to see he was facing you, leaning against the worktable with his arms crossed. Waiting for something to finish, no doubt.

“Yeah, passes the time. I’ve read everything in my house at least twice.”

“Do you have a favorite?”

“The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.”

“I’m afraid I haven’t heard of it.”

“It’s a collection of short stories focused on animals in the jungles of India.”

“Do you have a favorite of the stories?”

Embarrassment began to creep in. “It’s called “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.’ It’s about a mongoose and his war against 2 cobras.”

“Interesting. I might pick it up sometime.”

The timer went off, signaling the end of the conversation. “If you could please write this down for me.”

You picked up your notepad and paid attention.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Month three.

Routine was something you cherished, and seemingly so did Wesker. Everything around him worked like clockwork or he made it so. On the rare occasion someone sent something late, they would feel his scorn and they’d never make the mistake again.

You envied him. The authority to have the world at his fingertips. The determination to have everything the way he wills. You had learned he had a day job as taxing as this one, though what you weren’t sure, and yet he never showed exhaustion. He pushed forwards with no hesitation.

If you were more like that, your life would probably blissful, or at least better. You could retaliate against Bruno. You could scold your mother for all her failures. You could pull yourself out of the hellhole you resided in and march triumphantly through life.

But you weren’t him. You were barely a functioning person, with a screwed-up scent gland and no passion to draw people in. Maybe then you could have been scouted and accepted to a pack. At least there you would have some sort of purpose.

No, that wasn’t true anymore, was it?

You did have one: Helping the Albert Wesker change the world. Sure, you were practically meaningless, he could do all of this without you. But he was choosing not to. He, instead, wanted you to aid him, no matter what that looked like.

Maybe that’s why you never said no.

“You are personally familiar with Edington’s work, correct?” The trap was set. You knew this line of questioning was coming, and you knew what happened if you took the bait. But what was even the reward if you said nothing? Bruno wouldn’t thank you for saving his ass. No matter what, you were scum to him. At least with taking the bait, you could earn some favorability with the one who set the trap.

“I am.”

Though his body sat relaxed in his chair and the sunglass were high on his nose, you felt his gaze, analyzing you. Every detail, every twitch, he caught all of it.

“He’s been delaying giving us most of his reports in recent months, before meeting you. He has seemed to catch on that we can’t quite fire him or reprimand him for it, due to his importance to the project he’s assigned to. But that doesn’t negate that we still need updates on his project.”

“What specifically do you need?”

“The results of his most recent experiment where he tested his project on a live subject.”

You took a moment to think, then replayed your memory of the last report. “I can write it out for you if you’d like?”

His head tilted slightly. “Can you?”

“Of course. I transcribed it for him.” You opened up to a clear page on your notepad and began to write. He walked around, looking over your shoulder while you write. “It might take a bit. It was a long study; he observed the subject for about three days.”

He goes quiet. This isn’t new, he’s always quiet. But it’s a different quiet. Like there’s something on his tongue waiting to come out. You decide not to worry about it; he’ll speak if he wishes to.

The timer goes off again and he moves away.

Sometime later you told him you finished, and he returned to your side.

“Is it common for you to remember everything you’ve ever wrote?” He asks after he’s flipped through the first few pages.

“Well, yeah,” you reply, confused. “Is that odd?”

Once again, you’re met with silence. Until.

“Thank you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Month four.

You’re faced with a dilemma.

Wesker taught you to do a basic version of lab reports, as he’s been getting busier and busier, needing you to do more. So you’ve been writing a few reports here and there. Almost like a slight reversal of roles. He takes down brief notes, you write up a report, though he usually proofreads it before finalizing it into the records.

But the DNA sequences in front of you are wrong. Some of the pairs aren’t correct- adenine doesn’t pair with cytosine. And some of the sequences you do see aren’t recorded. If he found a new sequence of genes that had never been recorded, you’d know right?

He’s never come across as unfocused before, but these past few days he has been off. Hell, two days ago he called off your nightly sessions early, seemingly too out of it to continue. Whatever had him off was probably the reason that admins from the corporate side of things have been around way more.

That’s probably the reason Bruno’s been more insufferable lately. Your mother couldn’t get a moment of peace. It felt like every few minutes at home he would go into fits, rambling about things you couldn’t understand, throwing furniture around, he even struck your mom once. He rarely hit her. You were open season, but he always treated her better, bathing her in jewels on their wedding anniversary and gifting her with flowers at every event. He would yell, he would belittle, but he had only ever struck her once before. Back when…

That’s not what matters right now. What matters is you’re looking at a completely messed up gene sequence. You can guess what all these are supposed to be, especially since you remember reading the last sequence from an earlier report.

If you screw it up, he knows it would have been you. It would certainly change his perspective of you. However, if you write it up without at least fixing the pairs, that’s work he’s going to have to go back and redo.

How does that saying go again? Better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Month five.

Wesker messaged you that he wasn’t going to be in the usual lab today, and to make absolute certain that his files were properly put away. You remember Birkin whispering to him about inspections from admins. Figures that Umbrella would keep up with labor laws in their own special way.

You decided to take it a step further and kill time by rearranging the filing cabinet while putting everything away. Taking everything apart to put it back together again. A poetic cycle. One you had been at for an hour now, only just got to the second drawer.

First the date, then alphabetically. Date, then alphabet. Date. Alphabet. Date. Alphabet. Date. Alphabet. Date. Alphabet. Date. Alphabet. No date. No title. A note?

No, a letter.

A letter to Tricell, going over some deal.

You can bet a lot of money that you weren’t supposed to see that. You can bet even more that if someone else in Umbrella saw that, Wesker’s life would become Hell on Earth. Suddenly the tension he’s radiated these last few days, the admins circling like vultures looking for something to tear apart, it all made sense.

You can’t blame him for wanting to leave. Yes, Umbrella valued him, but everyone was expendable to them. Meanwhile, it seems like the people at Tricell would kiss his feet if they could.

Shit, the inspection. Would they really look through every file of a four-drawer cabinet?

Your gut churned, something in the back of your mind nagging you. Yes, they would. If they even remotely suspected him- or Birkin-, they would check every nook and cranny. So where?

If you brought it home, you risk Bruno finding it and if Wesker needed it any time before (highly likely), he wouldn’t be able to get it.

Were there more papers? You highly doubted Wesker would be sloppy enough to leave them out, but if he’s betting on them not going through the whole thing that could be a risk.

You pick up the pace, continuing with the process. If someone goes through this, it needs to look uniform, so nothing seems missing. It took another hour and a half till you finished. There were only 3 more incriminating documents: another letter and two status reports updating whoever at Tricell of his progress.

Now to find the hiding spot. Your eyes scanned over the room. Everything that they could get away with “inspecting” would be checked, cabinets, supplies, hell they probably would check the cleaning supplies. Your eyes landed on the tape. You slipped the papers in folder flap on the inside your notebook then grabbed the tape. Slipping over to your corner, you ducked under the desk, taping it underneath. It was far enough back that a grown person would have to really be looking for it. You took Wesker’s notepad, flipped it upside down, and placed it on the desk; theoretically where the notebook was underneath.

You stepped back, maneuvering around the room, making sure it couldn’t be seen from any angle of the room.

The door opened and you nearly jumped a foot into the air.

Birkin poked his head in. “Are you done? I’m your ride.”

You took a steading breath. “Yes, just finished. Thank you for taking me.”

“Don’t mention it. Grab your things, let’s go. I’m ready for my day off,” he spoke jovially, though his eyes betrayed his exhaustion.

“Of course, nearly forgot,” you injected your voice with carefree humor, walking over to the door. “Lead the way.”

“Not brining your notebook?” He hummed, holding the door wider.

Your heart missed a beat, but you kept your expression neutral. “Not like I’m going to need it, or that anyone is going to move it.”

“Fair enough,” he chirped.

The entire walk and drive, all Birkin could speak of was his daughter. He spoke of her and his wife often. Usually, you’d spend these moments ponder what would have been if your father never left. If he stayed in contact or decided to fight for custody those years ago.

Now you were praying to whatever god would hear you that you did enough. That everything was hidden. That Wesker and his secrets would stay safe. If they found the papers, they’d know you were an accomplice, surely. They’d send Bruno after you, and he’d turn you over to them happily.

The next morning you got a page from Wesker, reminding you that you weren’t needed. You didn’t forget, it haunted you. A whole 24 hours where you didn’t know what was happening.

You tried to find ways to kill time, but your spiraling mind made that hard. Eventually you settled on a new book, reading through lunch and well into the afternoon.

Then your pager went off again.

“No matter what, do not go back to the mansion.”

Fear spiked. “Why? What happened?”

You never received a reply.

Bruno and your mom came home an hour later, slamming the door behind them.

“DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER! THIS COULD SET ME BACK FOR WEEKS!”

He had barely gotten through the door. New record.

You heard the murmur of your mom’s voice, trying to placate, to soothe.

“Woman, do you not hear me? That is history now. They’ll never be able to get the lab under control again, and if they do it won’t be in time. This will ruin me!”

Their voices were drowned out by the sounds of your heartbeat in your ears.

Seems like the gods didn’t care for your prayers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hardly anyone left the house for the following weeks. Thankfully Bruno never left his office, leaving you and your mother to haunt the rest of the house in some semblance of peace.

After about a month, the news reported people going missing in the mountains. Then their bodies were being found, torn to shreds. Dread sat in your stomach like lead. The police department said they feared the work of a cult. You hoped that it was.

Once the calendar turned to July, they announced that the RPD was handing it to S.T.A.R.S.

You didn’t know how much you were missing Wesker until you saw his face on the news. Captain of S.T.A.R.S. No wonder the stress was starting to catch up, he had two jobs that demanded everything of him. You wonder if he’s as good as a boss to them as he was to you. Memories of naps in the lab, him ordering you food whenever he got something, the many times he drove you around. Your heart clenched, and you left your mother to watch the rest of the broadcast alone.

Somehow, learning that Umbrella had its hands in the police didn’t feel shocking. It made too much sense, looking back. Honestly, you felt dumb that you didn’t realize it sooner. They probably had their hands in everything in Raccoon City.

There was no more news on the murders for the next few days. You stopped watching the news after a while, retreating to your room more often.

Bruno was starting to surface more, but he hardly said anything to either of you. It looked like it was starting to take a toll on your mom. She hung off his every word, even the cruel ones.

One morning, it seemed like she got what she wanted. Their words were lost on you, in your room with the door closed, but if the sobs from your mother said anything, it was not words she wanted to hear.

After you heard the slam of his office door, you waited some time to emerge, hoping to make it to the kitchen with no fuss. As you crept down the stairs, you heard the TV on.

Your mom was in the living room. She didn’t turn or greet you. She was watching one of her hospital shows, tear tracks and watery eyes decorating her features. Nothing but a husk.

You don’t know what urged you to sit on the other side of the couch, but you did, focusing in on what she was watching.

It didn’t take long for you to find out why she was upset. The episode featured a battered woman at the mercy of her husband’s wrath. The hospital staff falling over themselves to help her, to heal her, to make it all better.

“It was never supposed to be like this.”

You can’t remember the last time your mom truly talked to you, outside of asking you to pass something at the dinner table. And what’s the first thing she says to you, her only child? Throw a pity party for herself.

“We were supposed to be so happy. He would take care of me, and I’d be his lovely wife.”

The taste of bile filled your mouth.

“Your father was a selfish man; don’t you forget it.”

In a moment, it felt like every slap, every harsh word, every speck of rage, every wave of grief, hit you all at once. Like you were reading that letter again.

“Don’t act like you’re any better.” She turned to you, eyes wide. “If anything, he was lightyears better than you. At least he recognized he wasn’t a good parent. That he wasn’t ready to take care of a kid. You didn’t seem to catch up in time. No, instead you decided to get married to a sadistic bastard who told you from the beginning how this was going to go if you couldn’t get rid of me.”

“Don’t you have any pity for me?” She wailed.

“Why the fuck should I?” Disdain dripped from your mouth like venom. “You let that man torture me for the last decade, and now you’re shocked he turned it to you! This was always going to happen.”

“Your father was supposed to-”

“He never tried to see me for the first 5 years of my life, what made you think that he suddenly would when you got married? That your new husband wasn’t a fan of kids? All he probably thought was ‘Thank goodness I’m not with that crazy bitch.’

No one was going to help you out of the pit you dug. The pit you pulled your daughter into behind you. You were supposed to take care of me, not the other way around. I needed you, and you did nothing. That psycho of a man put me into the hospital, nearly beat me to death, and you didn’t do anything. You didn’t even have the kindness to tell the truth and let CPS take me!

No, I don’t care about what happens to you. You’ve been dead to me for a long time.”

All she could do was sit there and blubber out pathetic sobs, head buried in her hands.

You got up and went to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water and a box of cereal, and returned to your room, not even bothering to look at the woman on the couch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You awoke in a cold sweat, terror seeping into your core. Something in the back of your mind howling at danger. You didn’t hesitate, pulling back the covers and getting out of bed, creeping to your door and easing it open, making sure you didn’t make a sound.

Something was wrong. What was wrong? Everything was so quiet. Wasn’t it supposed to be quiet?

You didn’t make a noise as you went down the stairs. The paranoia felt like it was going to eat you alive. It couldn’t be anything, there was no noise. Not after your confrontation with your mom two days ago. The house was silent.

You moved quietly throughout the house. First the living room, then down the hall, the bathroom. You didn’t bother trying Bruno’s office. You then crossed over to the kitchen. Nothing there. Nothing moved or out of place. All was well, this was just your paranoia talking.

Then you turned to the garage. Last room, then you could go back to bed, and it would all be done.

When you opened the door, a bitter metallic smell assaulted your nose. There was something on a tarp in the middle of the room, liquid surrounding it. You didn’t need to turn the light on, you knew. The figure was too familiar, one you’d seen all your life.

You felt like you were going to puke. Closing the door, you made your way as quietly and quickly back to your room as possible.

What could you even do? The police weren’t going to help you. There was no doubt in your mind Bruno had something to keep him out of jail. Whether that’s connections or tampering with evidence, he was secure. Who is there to turn to?

The moment you stepped in, you locked the door behind you and looked around your room, looking for some sign. The pager on the nightstand called to you like a siren. You hadn’t heard from Wesker since his warning about the mansion. He wouldn’t answer. That you knew. But what other options did you have? You might as well keep it brief.

Help me, please.

If he didn’t come, he didn’t come. You tried. Your final swan song. Your final prayer to a god that never answered.

The rest of the night passed in a haze. You sat at the foot of your bed, your pager in your hand like a lifeline. At one point the idea of packing a bag and running crossed your mind, but you didn’t have an idea of where to go. You didn’t know if there were any shelters in Raccoon City, or where they would be. You had no friends. No teachers, mentors, family. You had no choices.

No one was coming to save you.

Eventually the sun began to rise, lighting the world ablaze, marching forward, never-ending. After the fiery shades faded away into the cold blue sky, you heard Bruno’s footsteps as he passed your room and made his way down the stairs. You would need to head down soon yourself. He’d be expecting you to keep to routine, and breakfast was a meal everyone attended, even when it was dead silent, and no one would look at each other. You put a lot of thought into what you picked out to wear for the day. Something comfortable and cozy, in your favorite color. A send off.

As you walked down the stairs, you wondered if this was how the girls accused of witchcraft felt, marching to a death that you don’t deserve.

“Good morning,” Bruno huffed. “Up a bit early.”

“Morning,” you said, keeping your voice meeker, trying to pass off as sleepy. “Just woke up earlier than normal.”

His gaze didn’t leave you, analyzing everything you were doing. You knew what question he was expecting next.

“Where’s mom?” The word ‘mom’ felt vile on your tongue, but you had a part to play. As far as he was concerned, you believed everything was what it was yesterday.

He replied, “She had to leave to get something this morning.”

“Ah,” you hum. You needed a plan; this conversation was not going to go far at this rate. Maybe if you go quiet, act like you’re checked out. He’ll eventually retreat to his office and leave you be.

Will he, though? What was stopping him from killing you now? You screaming? The neighbors might not even hear it, if they do, they won’t be too fazed. Screaming came out of this house often once upon a time. They didn’t do anything then; they won’t do anything now.

The doorbell rings.

Bruno’s head snaps to you. “Who the hell is that?”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s one of mom’s packages,” you responded. “I’ll go see.”

You trekked your way to the door, running out of ideas and hope. You couldn’t play stupid forever, if he wasn’t already planning on adding you to the tarp now..

You opened the door.

Wesker stood on the other side, wearing his sunglasses and usual business attire. In place of his lab coat, however, he wore a black trench coat. You couldn’t care less what he was wearing, he was here, and you could have wept in relief. You sent him a pleading look, trying to figure out the best way to communicate the problem without tipping off-

“Who’s at the door?” Bruno yelled. Footsteps sounded from inside. He was walking closer.

His brows furrowed ever so slightly, his head subtly raising to look beyond you.

You turned just in time to see Bruno round the corner, and his expression dropped like he just saw a ghost.

“D-doctor Wesker,” he stammered.

“I apologize for my unannounced arrival. My assistant and you have some things I need.” Wesker’s voice sounded pleased, like the cat that got the cream. He was enjoying making Bruno squirm.

Bruno looked between the two of you for a moment, before his face became completely blank. “Of course,” his voice was quieter than normal, as if he was hesitant to be heard. “I believe I know what you’re discussing.” His gaze then fell on you. “I’ll need your help, to my office please.”

You became numb for a moment. Bruno couldn’t have figured it out yet, right? Maybe he wanted to use you to get on Wesker’s good side?

“Sure,” you said. “Let me show him to the living room, then I’ll be there.”

Bruno stalked off down the hall, but you didn’t hear the door to his office open. You led Wesker in, eyes scanning the living room. There was no pen and paper, no way to communicate directly. Clues, you needed to leave clues.

Your eyes fell on a small songbird statue your mom kept on the end table by the couch. You made sure he was looking as you slowly lifted your hand and turned it to where the bird beak pointing into the kitchen to the garage door. Bruno wouldn’t have had enough time to have gone in there and changed it around. Wesker can see the stakes for himself.

Wesker turned, following the invisible line, turned his head back to you and nodded. You headed over to the hallway, making your footsteps more exaggerated to hide any noise he made in his movement.

When you rounded the corner, Bruno opened the door to his office and held his arm out.

Suddenly you realized how dumb this was, agreeing to be alone with him. But Wesker was in the building. He was down the hall, in the garage, could easily hear you. You just needed to be ready to scream.

As you stepped into the room, you scanned it over. You’d never been in here before; you needed to get a feel for it quickly in case-

You hit the wall hard, the wind leaving your body. It took you too long to realize there was a hand against your throat.

“You fucking bitch,” he snarled. “I should have killed you a long time ago.”

It was starting to get hard to focus. No matter how much you tried, you couldn’t get his hand off. Thought was starting to leave. You did the last thing you could thing of and went for his eye.

He released you with a wail, blood gushing from his eye. You dropped to the ground, sucking air back into your lungs, trying to crawl as fast as you could. A hand grabbed your foot, trying to pull you back. You finally got enough air to scream as loud as you could. Bruno smacked you hard across the face, resulting in your head hitting the ground. You kicked wildly, hitting him in the face, causing him to release you. You managed to get yourself up enough to grab something off of his desk and swung it back on him as he tried to grab you again. The lamp collided with his face, and he slumped back down. You charged forward managing to get around to underneath his desk, catching your breath.

A loud crash came from behind, before an ear rattling pop, and then silence. After a moment, steady footsteps.

Wesker came around the side and crouched in front of the opening. He whispers your name, like one might whisper to a wild animal, trying to soothe them.

“He tried to kill me.” It’s all you could think. All you could wheeze out of your tired body. You felt so tired. And lightheaded. “I don’t think I can stand.”

“I can help you,” he murmurs, slowly extending his hand. “When you’re ready.”

You take a deep breath before taking it. As suspected, when you begin to stand, you get dizzy, almost losing your balance completely. His arm stays steady as you lean your weight on it. Everything hurts.

“My head hurts,” you whimper.

“I know,” he replies. He repositions himself, tucking you closer to him as he leads you through the room. You tried to look around, but you couldn’t see much with how he had you against him.

You don’t fully remember the walk to the living room. He sat you down on the sofa, standing in front of you.

“Where did you get hit?”

“I-I g-got slammed into a wall,” you stammer. “Then I fell.” You wrung your hands, then you felt something sticky, looking down at them. There was blood on your hands.

He snapped his fingers; you looked back at him. “Look at me when speaking. What else?”

“I-” Everything felt fuzzy. “I don’t really remember right now. It was so fast.”

He nods, reaching to the blinds behind the couch and closing them. “Stay sitting up and keep an eye on that clock for me.”

“Ok.” You watched it, taking note of home many seconds pass, though it was hard to keep track.

 He left for the kitchen. You heard the fridge being opened and of the tap running, but kept focus on the clock, as he asked. He walked back in with a rag and cup of water in his hand.

“Keep this on your forehead, but don’t lay down. If you start to feel something pressing on your sinus cavity, you will tell me immediately. Slow sips of the water.”

You took the rag and followed his instructions. “What’s wrong?”

“You most likely have a concussion,” he stated. “Try to stay awake until I give you the clear to.”

You nod. Then looked around the room as you took a sip of the water. Your eyes landed on the bird statue.

“Did you find her?”

There was a pause. “Yes, I did.”

You didn’t reply, just kept taking slow sips, taking in the dim light and cool cloth. Soon the water ran out. Then why was your face wet?

“What’s going to happen to me?” Your voice sounded strained, weak. But you couldn’t bring yourself to care. What did it matter if he saw you as pathetic? There was nothing more you could offer him now.

“You’re going to pack everything you care about from this house. I’m going to go through his files and take everything I need, and then we are going to leave.”

Watching Are You Sure?! EP 7

A reminder of how I do these reaction posts as I watch things. I just write my reactions and thoughts down literally they happen. Think more of a bullet point format. I'll include links when I can to videos, thanks to the people who twt who upload clips. And at the end, I'll do a better wrap up of all my opinions. I hope everyone enjoyed the show so far!!

Not this show starting off with a mistaken identity trip!! Lol Jimin saying that he only went snowboarding once before and it was with JK. And JK was so confused. You could see him searching the files in his brain lmfao. Jimin's oh wait! I went with your friends 😂😂 okay, just hanging out with JKs friends on your own? It's giving couple. I can't lie. I'm sorry. What in the best friend?! 😂😂 I loved the facial expressions and the way Jimin buried his face into Jungkookie there too

Jimin listening to hate you. And JKs why are you listening to that? Jimin: because I like it 😳 lmao I agree Jimin, it was abrupt 😂😂

Their appreciation for their crew is 😍😍

Jk dozing off to Jimin's softly singing. It's giving the same vibes as that one run episode that he dozed off to Jimin's ASMR. Idk what that's giving exactly.... But it's giving *something* and you know what it is

"this is our last moment of relaxation. I love it" 😭

Not JK just chopping at his hair like that. Oh baby lol don't look at me like this is my fault!! It's okay, fucking up your hair and needing to make it much shorter than originally planned is a life right of passage lol

Not JKs haircut transporting Jimin back in time 10 years 😂😂😂

The staff giggling and immediately taking photos 😂 BTS are their babies lol

Jimin hurting himself and shouting oh shit 😂😂 the subtitles trying to sensor him without bleeping his actual words 😂🤣 subtitles should be accurate above all else people! Cmon! Lol

Jimin moaning and groaning while transferring tubs, sitting on the edge, etc and JK just looks like he is enjoying the show the whole time. There is so much ass on display in the shorts they are wearing in this whole scene. Where is the decorum?! Lol!

Turning off the cameras to shower together before the Jacuzzi. Very innocent, but sounds like it could be so not 🤣😂

JKs faces when trying to handle to cold tub 😂😂

"feel how cold I am" better translated to "just hug me once" and the immediate hug and the hand placement to feel the cold? Yeah okay 🤣

Anyone remember the emojis over the barest slips of tummy during anything? Now they are showing them wash themselves and rub their own muscles in a cold tub and show off flexing to the camera. What the fuck Hybe 🤣🤣🤣

Soundproof Sauna to their matching PJs and eating a whole feast 🥰

The way they giggle together is my favorite thing

JK watching Jimin making his this crab is so good video so endeared 🥰😂😍

Jimin insisted on JK trying the shrimp too because it was so amazing instead of eating the last of the shrimp even though he loved it so much. And JK sharing half his urchin with Jimin because it was so yummy. Cute. They are so precious to each other

Jimin wants seconds, JK says it's a bad idea. They order seconds 😂😂😂

I both love and hate watching them eat. Because I think watching people eat is gross and I stand by that. Lol but they love it so much and look so happy, I also just enjoy seeing them enjoy themselves. It's a complicated mix of emotions I experience 😂

The trend continues of brushing their teeth together. Jimin, the mischief maker, kicks JK during their teeth brushing?? Lol and takes a selfie of them too. Share it please?

"I'm going to pass out after this, especially if we get massages" JK " we are getting massages?!" No lmfao you silly goose, that was 100% Jimin hinting at wanting a massage 😂🤣😂🤣

Not them being super sleepy, yet still annoying each other on purpose by flashing lights at each other 😂

Jimin asking JK if he is too hot, probably knowing already he gets too hot at night. But instead of changing the temperature when he did wake up too hot, knowing Jimin was comfy with how it was, JK just moved to the living room. And Jimin waking him up by so softly petting his head 🥺🥺🥺

Are they advertising sunscreen? Lol it worked. I wanted to go get some 😂😂

Jimin fighting for his LIFE in the shower. Wtf was happening?!! Lmao and JK finishing up his breakfast before going into the bathroom to shower while Jimin was still in the shower it sounded like. Lol ALRIGHT. Hope you both enjoyed said shower I guess 😅😂🤣

Why are we play fighting while getting dressed boys?! Lmao

Jimin starting a pretend photoshoot with the ski jacket and gear. Absolutely, yes please

Jimin is such a good boyfriend bringing JKs jacket back out to him

Jimin just enjoying sitting in the car while JK goes in to order 😂😂 good for him! JK telling him he only ordered food for himself and none for Jimin, only to say "here is our food" when it arrived 😂 what a jokester lol

Jimin feeding Jungkook while he is driving 🥺

Jimin joking about an AYS OST. Please please please give it to us though for real

Singing random love songs for a game! Where JK interrupted Jimin singing the line "the person I love is gone" to sing "I love you" three times lol okay got it

The way JK always stops to just stare at Jimin until he gets his reaction to whatever he is doing or wearing is always so cute. Especially because he always smiles so cutely after Jimin gives him his desired compliment 💜❤️

JK adjusting Jimin's googles for him 🥺

The way that JK checks in on Jimin first to make sure he is actually okay before teasing him about being scared lol it's sweet and cute

The hysterical cut of JK shredding down the slope to Jimin laying in the snow 😂😂😂😂 Jimin and his staff member literally falling over each other 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying lmao!

Jimin ditching his helmet with how often he falls is stressing me out lmfao he looks gorgeous though!

Skiing would be fun too he says, turning to Jimin with a hopefully sparkle in his eyes that he knows Jimin can't say no to. Camera cuts to them on skis 😂 JK, I love and adore you. Never change

Wrap up thoughts:

They showered/bathed together 3 times in one episode and thats insane. Lmao whatever guys 😂 this was just an excellent episode showcasing their closeness, their intimacy, their silliness, their individuality and their soft spoken nature with each other. It showed the way they consistently consider each other, what the other wants and needs. I don't think I have anything to expand on from what I've already said above. I really loved this episode. Fully plan on the last episode making me cry.

All purple links in my post go back to @dstdes with video clips of the moment being talked about. I did use a few twitter clips as well, sorry. Thanks for reading!

I'm always trying to stay on the cutting edge of every permutation of our constantly evolving visual culture but the elusiveness of every new form makes it difficult for me, even as one of the youngest possible millennials. in fashion, my freshman students are all wearing 2000s or "y2k" fashion: baggy grungy or baby phat hiphop, with an elevated touch of modesty, good color theory, and a stark awareness of bodily proportion. in memes, legendary 00s icon, lisa frank. its embarrassing to follow influencers with over 10 mil, now, as if it breaks the parasocial connection.

someone asked yesterday if tiktok is now the premier vehicle of visual culture. I open tiktok. on one side, a zoomed in interview with the mother of a shooting victim. but the other side is a compilation of slime videos, a woman cutting soap, life hacks, and chinese "smart" product placements. you can hear and see both. this bizarre genre, I can only recognize as content. on social media, content is technically anything you can doomscroll, the action of spending over 2 hours on a social media feed, a for you page, a timeline, a dashboard to tumblr addicts.

I'm watching cable TV with a girl I'm seeing. the ads are remarkably only geared towards boomers and older gen x. but, so is the 'content', bad action movies made for cable and reruns of 80s/90s TV shows, but the exact same show marathoned in hours long successions.

to be an effective art historian, I have to take things from this ever-shifting visual culture and translate it into the equally fickle and amorphous art world... so what does 'content' look like for museum shows? my first 100+ object loan show was in part by a colleague, a younger curator at BAMPFA. a massive exhibition of all female nonbinary artists, from the 60s PoMo feminists to the self obsessed identity displayers of today. I absolutely LOVED it. I had no problem enthusiastically flitting from object to object, frontwards and in reverse twice, to spend special time with all my favorites. a fave professor stopped me. I hadn't even recognized him in the excitement. he looked bewildered, but laughed about how giddy I was. he didn't write any criticism on the show. my boss at the time, our museum director, told me she thought it was "such a big mess". my favorite lesbian professor clutched onto her wife with an anxious look. my lesbian artist friend had panic attack and put his headphones on in a dark corner. on the other hand, the younger undergrad girls from berkeley looked elated and delighted, flitting around and oohing and aahing at my same pace. I learned one of them was an engineering student named erin who needed a feminist pickup from the disouragement in her male dominated field.

so how has the 'content' show, or the art world reception to them, changed in the past 4 years? well for one, it seems like major flagship institutions are dropping the mononym altogether. as the french impressionists take over the east coast, none of shows feature one painter as a sole focus, but curators use juxtapositions to keep people interested. in MoMAs, monoynym shows are reserved for major retrospectives or figuratively and literally, monolith artists like simone leigh. the older art historians are hesitant to adapt to these changes. one of my favorite shows this summer, over 300 very different collection pieces packed onto the floor and across the hall, wasn't enjoyed by any of the critics I know. My dates all hated it. except one, a hot ADHD butch who had a tiktok doomscrolling addiction.

what does this mean for the future of how shows are displayed.... how do museums let go of the traditional princely standard: 3.5 inch hangings with a 25 degree downwards tilt? is it better or worse to compromise museums into messy 17th century curiosity cabinets?

How do you do your Final Fantasy edits?

The hard way, my friend. No AI is used here, I do it all by hand. 🥰 I assume you mean the screenshot manipulations I create? I'll try and give a simple summary... First, I boot up Remake on PC and use a "free camera" mod(you can find the links to the mods I use on my archive pages for manipulations, which is on my pinned post) to take a couple screenshots that I think will work well together. Sometimes I change my mind and choose a different one. It can be hard to match the camera angles and lighting, so sometimes I have to mess with that later, as well. But it's easier if they fit together from the beginning. We'll take my current WIP as an example. I started with these two screenshots:

I open them in the free program GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), which anyone can download at gimp.org. Then the first thing I do is choose the base image. In this case, they're both facing the same way, so I choose to flip Sephiroth(you can't really do that with Cloud easily because of his earring, and his hair is less symmetrical). Since the camera was closer up on Cloud, and he's the smaller one, I usually choose Sephiroth's to be the base image. With that decided, I roughly cut Cloud from his background and paste him onto Sephiroth's image as a new layer. Then I position him, resize him, rotate him, whatever I need to do until he seems to be in the desired place, which ends up looking like this: (I ended up adding snow for this preview, so it would look more complete than it is when I showed it to my server, haha)

If you look at Cloud, you can still see a thick outline of his old background around his head. Once he's positioned properly, it's time to remove the rest of his background(I use a size 10 eraser with 100% hardness and zoom in about 5 times). Then I need to think about where they're connected, and how to make them look like they're touching, as well as layering to make them seem intertwined, as if they're truly occupying the same space together.

I cut away some of Cloud's shirt, and the rest of that effect will come with shading later. If I wanted Cloud even closer, I would make a duplicate of Sephiroth and erase his background, so that his lock of hair would appear to go over Cloud's face. I could also make it semi-transparent, so you could see the outline of Cloud's face through his hair. You can see I have some small game defects to fix, such as Cloud's hair clipping through his ear. I leave those tiny details for later, typically. Sometimes, because of their height differences, I have to "rebuild" missing parts of them from scratch, such as I did for this other manipulation:

It's a delicate process that's mostly the clone tool(to keep the textures) and some freehand drawing, but I don't have an art tablet, so I use my mouse for everything, which can be quite challenging. I've had a lot of practice from translating doujinshi, where I'd erase the words, rebuild the missing part of the image, and then place the translated words over that spot.

In any case, I decided I wanted more out of this manipulation than just leaning against each other. I wanted Cloud to be reaching up towards Sephiroth, and perhaps for Sephiroth to be pulling him closer. To do that, I needed pictures of their hands/arms like so:

I've taken hundreds of shots, so I looked through what I had first, but it wasn't the right angle, or was the wrong outfit for Cloud, so...then you open up those images and cut out the parts you want. After that, you work on positioning and things like that again. I haven't finished with that part yet, so it looks a little awkward. (And when you're doing these kinds of things, color matching is very important, but that's a bit advanced.)

I'm not fully satisfied yet, so I'll probably remove the rest of the background from the arms and then mess with the placement. As for Sephiroth's hand, I intend to thread it in Cloud's hair, so Cloud will need to be duplicated in order to create that layering effect, as mentioned previously. Which should end up looking similar to this one:

(I had to draw in most of Cloud's hand because I didn't have the camera mod back then, and the Sephiroth shot was provided to me by Coeurlwhiskers.) After that, it's a matter of shadows and highlights, remaining details, and finishing up the colors, etc. It's a long and difficult process, and can take many hours to complete, depending on how ambitious I get with it. Most of that stuff would be a much longer tutorial, and I did used to do some actual artwork a long time ago, so I...kind of know what I'm doing?? I probably do a lot of stuff the hard way(like not using layer masks) because I just don't have the time to teach myself more than the basics. 😅I know it may seem daunting, but it's really fun! I hope I managed to answer your question properly. Feel free to ask follow ups~

HOLLOW KNIGHT TIERLIST: NPC HUGGABILITY

remember 100 years ago when i made an npc huggability tierlist for hollow knight that i never finished? well here’s the final version! this time we’re starting from the bottom rather than the top.

#42. midwife

hornet can probably attest to how creepy midwife’s hugs are. she uses her many tiny skittering arms to pull you in, whether you like it or not. there’s a 50/50 chance that she’s just going to eat you. 0/10, would not recommend.

#41. leg eater

he’ll probably make you pay to hug him, and it won’t even be a good hug! his bony, sharp limbs will dig into your back, and his disgusting smelling breath will blow under your ear as he giggles ominously, making you shiver uncomfortably. all around a bad experience, but there’s little chance of him eating you so he goes ahead of midwife.

#40. snail shaman

i love you snail shaman, but slimy hugs are a NO GO. if he wasn’t slimy, the hug would be perfectly pleasant! but as it stands, a hug with the shaman would leave you covered in sticky snail slime. gross and uncomfortable. sorry dude. originally waffled on snail shaman and leg eater’s placement, but in the end decided that slime can be washed off, but nightmares can’t.

#39. godseeker

no arms to hug with, and will probably be very resistant to a hug.

#38. little fool

also no arms to hug with, but they’ll appreciate it!

#37. mister mushroom

mister mushroom

#36. steel soul jinn

unfortunately, jinn is covered in, well, steel. hugging her would be cold and very uncomfortable. she does not have much experience with hugs, and her metallic arms willy very rigidly wrap around you in an awkward way. she won’t know when to end the hug so you will have to tell her.

#35. tuk

tuk lives in the sewers and thus is very unsanitary, and also likely has bad breath due to all the rotten eggs she consumes. sanitary issues aside, she’s also pretty antisocial and reluctant to hugs. not a bad hugger though, taking into account the purely technical side. very big, so her hug will envelop you.

#34. fluke hermit

similar problems to tukk in that she lives in the sewers and likely isn’t very sanitary. also probably doesn’t have much experience in hugs, but hypothetically due to her squishiness would be very fun to squeeze.

#33. dung defender/ogrim

i am SO sorry ogrim, you’re one of my favourites, but i would not hug a man covered in shit. if you were not covered in shit, you would be near the top, but alas. you are covered in shit. hypothetically, a non shitty hug would have ogrim picking you up, swinging you around, and then squeezing you to his chest. he’s very enthusiastic about it. 3/10, take a shower dude.

#32. willoh

look, no one likes willoh, but if they don’t decide to eat you, their hugs aren’t actually that bad! imagine hugging a giraffe. doesn’t that sound nice?

#31. divine

a little less creepy than leg eater! also probably more sanitary! you might have to go on your tippy toes and wrap your arms around her neck and bury your face in her ruff. her claws might be a little uncomfortable around your back, but the hug wouldn’t be too terrible.

#30. confessor jiji

her breath’s very stinky, but if you don’t breathe in through your nose, it won’t be too bad! has very long arms that could probably double wrap around you. might rifle around in your pockets to see if you have a rotten egg.

#29. the hunter

extremely large and bony, but a surprisingly good hugger. long arms will wrap you in a hug, and you’ll be forced to shove your face in a bunch of leaves, but the hug is secure and makes you feel safe. then he follows it up by explaining how he uses a similar technique to strangle his victims, and you feel decidedly less safe.

#28. the hollow knight

it’s quick, you have to get in their mind to defeat the infection, but you spare a moment to wrap your hands around their neck as they struggle under hornet’s needle. you can’t tell, but they seem to relax a little. you’re hurt, and it’s hot, and they can’t hug you back, and it’s over too soon. but you will treasure this.

#27. tiso

very, very difficult to get him to hug you. he only way to get him to hug you is to challenge his ability to hug and mock him if he refuses, telling him that even elderbug is better at hugging than him. tiso will pick you up and squeeze you as tight as possible. you may lose a life from this. his armor is heavy and cold, but you appreciate his effort.

#26. zote

grumbles and complains about the offer, but ultimately needs the hug WAY more than you do, and might secretly cry a bit. hug lasts a little too long, but you won’t mention it because it looks like the guy really needed a moment. he pulls away discreetly wiping his eyes and stubbornly says that he won’t ever hug you again because you’re terrible at it.

#25. salubra

has a great big squishy hug, but it’s one of those hugs you might get from a grandparent or distant aunt that lasts just a bit too long and is just a bit too tight. she ends it by giving you a great big wet kiss that you didn’t ask her. still, it’s very enthusiastic and warm and loving.

#24. millibelle

i hate her. you hate her. we all hate her. that said, from a purely objective lense, she’s a pretty good hugger. it’s nothing too special, but she’s gentle and sweet about it, and it’s all around a good experience. there’s a non-zero chance of her pickpocketing you, though.

#23. eternal emilita

if you ignore her eternal laughter, it’s not a bad hug! doesn’t last too long, but it’s a perfectly fine, normal hug that you’d get from a friend. a friend who laughs about everyone being dead.

#22. grimm

chuckles ominously, but agrees to give you a hug. it’s pretty good, actually. very warm. a little too warm, actually. it has to be over sooner than you’d like because of how hot it is, but he pats you on the head and disappears.

#21. white lady

also does not have arms, but there’s something about sitting in your mother’s lap that makes you feel safe and loved, despite everything she’s done to you. later you will curse her for what she did to you and your siblings, but when you sit in her lap as she hums a lullaby, it’s very hard not to forgive her.

#20. mask maker

so many arms to hug you with!

#19. oro

you’ll have to pay him, and he’s very reluctant about it, but he’s actually a very good hugger, and you can tell he misses hugging someone. it ends too soon and he scoffs at you to leave. you know he liked it, though. you can tell by the flower he put in a vase.

18. grubfather

very short and stubby arms that can’t exactly hug you, but he’s very squishy and pleasant to squeeze.

#17. bardoon

it’s a little difficult to hug someone so big, but he appreciates the effort! his very big yet stubby arms will pull you in, and it’s like hugging an enormous pillow.

#16. relic seeker lemm

he’s reluctant and suspicious about it, probably worried that this is a ploy to steal his stuff. but once he agrees to it, it’s a pretty good hug! his beard is soft and lovely and he’ll give you an awkward pat on the back.

#15. hornet

part of what’s great about hugging hornet is that it’s an achievement. it’s very hard to hug hornet. she’s very fast and antisocial and will turn her nose up at any sign of casual affection. that said, if you earn her trust enough to get a hug from her, her muscles will relax in a way they haven’t for a very long time. the hug is quick, just a few moments, but long enough for you to catch how she sags with relief after not being hugged for many years.

#14. grey mourner

she’s wreathed in soft, flowing silks, and her hug is very gentle. maybe a little too gentle, but it’s very nice nonetheless. she might weep softly, and then you might weep too, and you’ll cry together, shrouded in silvery silks, and she appreciates this one bit of physical affection she hasn’t had since her fiance died.

#13. iselda

she laughs and easily agrees to give you a hug. she’s tall, and has to lean down so you can wrap your arms around her neck. it’s a gentle hug, and she ends it by giving you a pat on the head.

#12. sly

very small little grandpa. pick him up like a teddy bear!

#11. myla

also very small, but is much more enthusiastic about the hug. she has such a sweet giggle. you cry a little. maybe you can save her this time.

#10. cornifer

he’s a little distracted so he won’t see your request at first, but he’ll gladly give you a hug! it’s a perfect hug, not too tight, not too long.

#9. nymm

puts down his accordian and goes down on one knee to give you a warm, friendly hug. your face gets buried in his ruff. he’s happy, and you know that you did the right thing.

#8. bretta

she’s a little flustered and nervous about it, but the hug she gives you is warm and squishy and lovely. she blushes, and perhaps it lasts too long, but it’s such a nice hug that you don’t care.

#7. sheo

he squeezes you tightly, and it’s a lovely hug, but once he steps away you realize there you’re covered in paint stains! what a mess.

#6. old stag

also can’t hug you back, but he’s very grateful for the attempt. you reach up to wrap your arms around his neck, and he’s so fluffy you can’t help but stroke his fur.

#5. nailsmith

winner of the beard award! best beard! he’ll gladly give you a hug, thanking you for not killing him. he’s a lot happier than he used to be, and you’re happy for him.

#4. elderbug

a perfect old grandpa hug. he tears up a little at the offer, and squeezes you tightly. rubs circles into your back. you’re a little sad when it’s over.

#3. seer

a perfect old grandma hug. she’s soft and feathery, and smells like dust, but it’s such a lovely hug.

#2. quirrel

look, i just really like quirrel. he picks you up and squeezes you tightly, and it’s like seeing an old friend you haven’t spoken to in a while. he laughs joyfully. you don’t want to let him go. maybe you can make this moment last forever. maybe he won’t leave.

#1. mato

possibly the best hugger there has ever been. he enjoys it more than he enjoys nailfighting. he picks you up, swings you around one time, and squeezes you tightly, your face squishing against his cheek. he laughs like he hasn’t hugged you in years, but you saw him earlier today.

YAKAR: Yet another Kirby Anime Rewrite - Episode Arrangement and Changes

Okay, let's get talking about the episodes

One issue I have with the episodes is not just how they were written, but the arrangement is just

OOOUGH.

Like, most of the huge important main lore episodes are like, what, IN THE FIRST 4 EPISODES???

Which that could be fine if the rest of the series made up for that and included that same level of importance those episodes had. But news flash!

Most of the episodes are filler outside of a handful.

And that's bad.

So, I decided to rearrange the episodes and keep the important lore episodes out of the early series.

Additionally, I picked out some episodes that I felt were a bit repetitive and nothing would change if I removed them.

With that out of the way, here are the changes I made to fix these issues

Riddle watches New Wish - Post #15

Work Her Magic

There is some seriously cruel irony in posting the episode where Hazel's mom clearly wants to engage with her, but can't right now because she's busy (and thus Hazel's upset about how her mom is always working) IMMEDIATELY after the double-length episode where Dev was unable to get his dad's attention whatsoever. What the heck, Hazel? Did you learn nothing?

I love Hazel's parents so much. They're adorable. Marcus being a little jealous about how his wife's always talking to her publisher / coordinator when he wants to plan a date night is fantastic.

-> Assistant, that's her role.

omfg, the title card was grown-up Hazel?? I was multi-tasking on these notes and thought that was her mom. She's ADORABLE.

What the fliiiip? I'm not sure I've ever loved a design more... This is so good. Her color scheme is the same. She's still predominantly blue and those pink bits resemble her shirt stripes, and she's still got green shoes. That's impeccable. A+ thoughtful design.

I love her... I have no 'fic ideas for her at this exact moment, but I like her a lot.

Is the silverware at this school made of wood? Wanda has a funny texture on her disguise.

Hazel is gossiping about herself with her mom at lunch. I'm bracing for Hazel to find out info she'd rather not hear, but so far everything is just Angela gushing over her. I love that.

-> She didn't have a bad word to say, only how much she loves her daughter. Pure...

Antony!! And it was indeed a hand-me-down shirt!

I have some questions about these posters.

Terrible brand name.

I enjoy how Wanda has consistently put on shades this season. I was going to make a joke back in the dinosaur episode about how she did that in the OG series too. I think it was only twice, but those scenes are some of my signature memories of her (The Musical & trying to get her son out of Crocker's house during "Fairly Old Parent").

This was Cosmo as Rice President of Pixies Inc. (to me).

omg, ceiling sprinklers. The detail! Very curious to learn more about how these environments were rendered.

Return of the Meerkat-adjacent voice! Daran Norris!

???

Date night is back on!!

"So, you're probably wondering how I got here..."

Crock to the Future

Crocker?? Huh. Can't say I'm surprised.

-> I've always headcanoned Crocker with witch genes due to the Alden Bitterroot connection. I wonder if he's aged or looks the same (In "Secret Wish," he looked the same after aging 50 years and claimed it's because he was altered to look like that even when he was 10, so it prevented further signs of aging).

-> My theory is that he'll resemble Jorgen and have a patch around his mouth. No justification for this beyond "That seems to be the style to symbolize an older character from the OG series." I still want to know if Doug Dimmadome is dead.

-> If this Crocker turns out to be Kevin, I'm gonna lose my very last marble. Doesn't look likely though due to the freckle placement in that title card. But can you IMAGINE...

Marcus only has 9 toes... Wh- Why does he have more than 8? I thought everyone had 8. Did he cut it one in half with the weedwhacker and count it separately?

The Galax Institute is celebrating its 96th annual event. If that's an in-city location, Dimmadelphia is at minimum 96 years old.

-> He's 100% meeting Crocker at this parascience convention. If he meets the Fentons with that ghost machine, that'd be great.

A.J. NAME CONFIRMATION!! ... I don't love it because I headcanoned him as Archimedes Junior and I think that's cooler than Anthony James Jr., but I'll accept it! Curse my slowness in getting my A.J.-centric multi-chapter out.

-> A.J. founded the Galax Institution at age 10 and is Marcus's hero. First of all, I love that, and second of all... good to know. I was pretty sure Dimmadelphia was still close to Dimmsdale, but it's always nice to have confirmation.

Also, I am once again asking people who have strong feelings that Chloe is a Mary Sue to give me their opinions on A.J., who ends world hunger in Season 2, works with the government at age 10, can build a time machine in 10 seconds with paperclips and string, and who apparently founded the Galax Institute as a child. They would be friends, I think.

Don't actually give me your opinions, but I do think about them a lot.

-> I'm sad my Happy Peppy Betty plotline has her moving to Brightburg instead of Dimmadelphia. It's not like I knew this was coming, but... SHE.

Angela (to me): This is my super hot husband. I love him very much and anyone who calls his interest in parascience dumb will get a high heel to the eye.

I can't believe Mark is banned from the institute. A.J., I have some questions.

Oh, there he is! Baby face...

Huh. I don't have anything to say.

I'm unclear as to why Cosmo and Wanda aren't trying to avoid the magical detectors? Why can't they just leave? I feel like this plot would work better if they'd been sleeping inside Hazel's bag.

I like how Mark, his ship, and Dark Laser's ship are in the mural.

Oh, he has aged:

I'd LOVE to see Crocker interact with A.J. I don't think we'll get that lucky, but it would be fun.

-> I've been thinking this since Episode 1, but I'm starting to seriously debate changing all the times I had Crocker say "cryptozoology" in 'fic to "parascience" instead.

I am super puzzled that A.J. went into parascience after all the time he spent with Crocker. He certainly seems to believe it (unless there's a plot twist that he just wants to give people the opportunity to discover things but he doesn't personally believe in it), but like... that's a STORY. Are we gonna talk about that?

-> This dovetails so nicely into my "Norm & A.J." AU and my head is in my hands but there is nothing I can do about it right now. help.

Oh, I didn't clock that he was a janitor here. Either I was typing and missed that or it was said off-screen. Also I enjoy him crawling without using his hands.

/blinks. Wadjet dying in Age of Mythology sound effect, is that you? Usually in shows, I just hear the donkey sound (I think it's the same one Minecraft uses). This is a surprise.

It is the same sound; I looked it up. I don't know what to do with this information.

Is Crocker going to take Hazel's bag, but open it and ignore Cosmo and Wanda on the outside?

-> Wanda, why don't you just leave? I don't understand.

Wanda: Crocker used to terrorize our last godkid. Cosmo: And before that, he WAS our godkid Roy, Viv, and Chloe awkward monkey puppeting somewhere:

I mean, Chloe was also terrorized a little, but...

Okay, so... Cosmo and Wanda have clearly explained the godparenting basics to Hazel. She's aware she'll lose her memories. But... why didn't we get to see that?

The miserable godkids plot and the memory loss haven't been explained well in this series and I'm a little surprised, seeing as that's one of the biggest pieces of worldbuilding in the OG show. Since Hazel seems to have a loving home life, I wasn't sure if either rule was still canon until Poof-Peri showed up.

Wanda: Crocker would have to cover the entire building in a butterfly net to catch us. Which is impossible! Me: /"Viral Videots" flashbacks

Oh, please give me a sequel to one of my favorite jokes in the entire series...

Eh, I'll take it. I'm disappointed Cosmo and Wanda can still float, though. Hey, you guys aren't supposed to do that!

Hazel: I wish Crocker stopped trying to reveal fairies! Wanda: Oh, we can't do that, squirt. As long as the building's covered by a butterfly net, we're powerless!

W... Wanda? What exactly are you saying? You wanna run that by me again?

I like how A.J. came prepared for Crocker to interfere so he brought a back-up award to give to Marcus, haha.

... Hm. I feel slightly unsatisfied, but I'm not sure I could put into words why. I didn't really have expectations and yet I feel confused.

MAGfest 2024

MAGfest Prime 2024 | National Harbor, MD | Jan 18-21

Cost Breakdown

Overall, while a REALLY long drive, MAGfest is a very inexpensive convention for us to attend, largely due to family in the area! However, if you're staying at a nearby hotel, expect to pay a LOT.

Table: $440 (table + 2 badges)

Lodging: Both my spouse and I have family in the area, so we paid nothing to stay in DC and didn't have to fight in the ring of honor to get Gaylord spots.

Parking: About $100 total

Travel (from Indianapolis): 9 hour drive (appx $150 in gas)

Food: I don’t count food costs toward my overall expenses for the most part because I am a total foodie and definitely splurge on the local restaurants when I can. But despite being a new location, we didn’t get a good chance to explore the food here.

The Gaylord has some food stands/small restaurants in the hotel (and a little deli/marketplace area to pick up pre-made sandwiches, wraps, fruit cups, etc.) It’s definitely expensive, but there’s some nice variety if you don’t wanna leave the building. We actually brought supplies to make PBJ along with some snackies. We also had a homemade pasta day with some family we were staying with. Friday night we were so busy we actually forgot to eat and just went to bed without dinner. Then Saturday evening we went to a fancy restaurant in the Gaylord and ended up spending way more than we meant to. It was pretty good, but WAY pricier than anticipated so we probably won’t go again. We’ll be trying more places in 2025, but probably continue our PBJ tradition for lunches.

Marketplace: MAGfest is famous for the fact that its vendor hall is open 24/7 from convention start (Thur 2pm) to convention end (Sunday 3pm.) However, vendors can set their own hours and the con has security all weekend. I did very well vending from about 10-11 am to 10 pm.

Personal Review

I was floored when I got accepted into MAGfest 2024. It’s such a ‘big kid’ con and I’d only just started to reach out and attempt to do more than the same 4 conventions every year. But a friend had said “your work would do well at MAGfest. You should try applying.” So I did. And they were right.

MAGfest represented a lot of firsts for me. My first con outside of the midwest. My first coastal con. First east coast con. First time in DC. First time with my current print prices. First time hitting some record numbers.

Often times when I am at a convention, there will be points (Especially at the beginning of the day) where sales will be incredibly slow, or a whole hour will go by before I make my first sale. It felt like a good sign when two staff members purchased from me before the hall officially opened. Not a single hour went by were I didn’t make at least a handful of sales during the hours I was set up (about 10am-10pm) However, I am far too much of a baby to stay up into the wee hours of the morning in hopes of getting drunk gamer sales. I did just fine, though.

At points it would get so busy that I was kicking myself for not having purchased a second square reader at that point. I probably would have made more if both my spouse and I were able to take sales at the same time. 

On the flip side, you do not get to know your table placement until you check in at the con, so good luck trying to promote your location or organize a stamp rally.

Also, I had a corner table, which is usually awesome, but the way the tables are laid out, it effectively meant that between my two neighbors backdrops, we had NO space behind the table for our own display. I was able to prop up a single banner. Considering tables are only 6', it felt like so little. I think I’ll be a little more aggressive next time, but I wonder if I will do better with a proper backdrop vs just the banner.

We also had to haul our stuff through the hotel lobby which suuuuuucked. We arrived Thursday morning and didn’t know if there was a designated load in space, so dragging suit cases over carpet and navigating the Gaylord (which is a bit of a maze) was rough. 

Other than that, though, I loved it. Despite the travel and the size of the con, I felt very relaxed most of the weekend. Staff was nice, attendees were nice, I met a friend IRL that I’d made on Gaiaonline 20 years ago (which was WILD. ilu.) The vibes were chef kiss and people LOVED my DnD monsters. 

And dice? This was my best dice-sales convention by FAR. Prints were still my number one but dice did great! I was worried my prices were too high to appeal to people (handmade prices vs mass produced prices, etc.) I don’t think there were really other dice makers there, so it was a nice surprise!

And now for some numbers:

GROSS: >$10k

PEAK HOURS: 11am, 2-4pm fairly consistently

SLOW HOURS: 6-7pm. People are at dinner. I’d use this time to get dinner to. Sales also tapered off significantly after 9pm most nights. There was also a smaller dip around noon-1 as people got lunch, but still decent traffic. I’d recommend packing a lunch to scarf stuff down at the table.

TRANSACTIONS: 235

AVG SPEND PER VISIT: $48

CARD to CASH RATIO: 80%/20%

Note: I sell primarily prints and original illustrations with fantasy, ttrpg, and horror themes. I also sell handmade dice, coloring books, and mousepads when I have the space for them. Take this into consideration when comparing your experiences.
