Evan Buckley Masterlist

Series Masterlist

Summary: (Y/n) distances herself from Evan when the people at her college believe he shouldn't be with someone younger and inexperienced like her. But things change when she falls pregnant.

Enjoy.

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

A smile worked its way onto Evan's lips and he paused, looking down at the pair of arms that wound their way around his waist. He felt (Y/n)'s face press into his back between his shoulder blades and her palms spread out over his chest, gluing herself to him.

He could feel each shallow breath she took which fanned through his shirt and heated up his back.

"Have you had a drink yet?" He pushed away the bowl of salad so it was further back on the counter before he reached his hands down. Both hands moved to cup (Y/n)'s wrists and he tilted his head back, looking up at the ceiling as he wanted for an answer.

When he didn't get a response, he knew the answer was no. He gave her wrists a squeeze and slowly turned round in her arms so he could tangle his arms around her and keep her pinned up against him.

"You'll make yourself ill," Evan scolded with a stern expression that started to fade the moment (Y/n) smiled sheepishly up at him.

"I'm nervous." It wasn't much of an excuse, but it was the truth.

(Y/n) was too nervous to sit down, too nervous to stop and take a full breath and too panicked to think about trying to get a drink and keep her fluids up.

Evan's team were coming round for tea.

This was going to be the first time (Y/n) would meet the people he worked with, the people he classed as his family. (Y/n) knew what they meant to him. She knew his Captain had practically become his surrogate father and his colleagues were like his siblings that kept him grounded and got him through each shift at work.

And his big sister was coming over too. Maddie was the one who raised Evan since he was a child, she was the one he looked up to and seeked her approval of almost every aspect of his life. He strived to make her proud.

This was a big family unit and it wasn't something that (Y/n) was used to. She wasn't close to her parents and she didn't have any siblings. If this dinner tonight didn't go well, (Y/n) would ruin everything. She would make things awkward for Evan when all she wanted to do was make him proud and get along with his friends. She needed to gel with them and slowly intergrate herself with them so they could all get along.

There was nothing worse than feeling like the odd one out and feeling like nobody liked her or thought of her as one of their own. (Y/n) didn't want to be on the outside looking in.

"Baby…" Evan moved his hands up until he could cup (Y/n)'s face and brush his thumbs beneath her eyes. She was drifting. Panicking. Overthinking. "If I love you, then everyone else will too. Stop panicking and go get something to drink, I've barely seen you drink all day."

Leaning down, Evan captured her with a kiss before he walked her backwards and nudged her towards the fridge. Passing out the first night she met the team wouldn't be the best way to start things.

(Y/n) found a can of pop from the fridge and got Evan another beer which she barely managed to put on the counter without dropping when there was a knock at the front door.

She wasn't ready.

Maybe it would have been a better idea to try and meet everyone slowly, individually. Start out with Maddie and see how they got along, and then move on to meet Eddie, then Bobby and so on.

But it just so happened that everyone had today off shift, and that wasn't something that happened often. And (Y/n) couldn't help but agree when Evan asked if she wanted to take this chance and meet the team. Diving right in would get rid of her anxiety because she would meet everyone in one fell swoop. Rather than dividing everyone up and doing it in stages. This would be quicker.

And (Y/n) knew Evan wanted to introduce (Y/n) now because they were going for their twelve-week scan next week. That was when he wanted to tell everyone that he was going to be a dad.

He wanted to invite Maddie out somewhere, just the three of them, and tell her that she was going to be an auntie. That he was going to have his first child and see his sister smile and be proud of him. And then tell the team. And Evan couldn't tell any of them without them meeting (Y/n) first. Introductions first, big news later. Evan wasn't great at hiding secrets.

"Here we go," Evan murmured softly, moving his hands to (Y/n)'s shoulders so he could kiss the back of her head to keep her calm. He weaved around behind her and moved towards the front door with anticipation, wondering who was first to arrive.

(Y/n) took a quick gulp of her drink and wrung her hands out in front of her to try and rid some of the nervous tension she felt.

Her stomach was knotting itself up and she felt like she was going to be sick. She'd already thrown up everything she had for breakfast and lunch which had put Evan on edge all afternoon. Especially since he knew she had barely had two drinks all day because of a mixture of nerves and morning sickness.

She moved round towards the kitchen island and leaned on the edge, pressing her hands into the sharp counter that also jabbed into her hips as she pushed up on her toes. Her lips rolled together nervously and she felt her chest tightening up, unable to let her catch a proper breath.

"Okay, guys, this is (Y/n)." Evan couldn't quite hide the smile on his lips and it made (Y/n)'s stomach skip a beat.

Her eyes followed Evan was he walked back into the apartment, his hands on a woman's shoulders who was a good few inches shorter than him. He gave her shoulders a squeeze and leaned his chin on top of her head before he glanced to his right.

"This is Chimney, and this is my big sister Maddie."

It was clear by the way Evan clung to her that she was his sister (Y/n) had heard so much about. She had a bright, inviting smile and her eyes creased when she smiled. Her neck was lathered in three different necklaces and she had a few rings on both hands. With her hair pinned up on one side and her nails painted dark blue to match the blazer and trousers she was wearing, she looked lovely. Fashionable, even.

(Y/n) was taken a little by surprise when Maddie reached out to hug her. She wasn't used to making a lot of friends or meeting the family of friends. And Evan was someone special. (Y/n) wanted to get along with anyone who was important to him.

Being hugged straight away by Maddie felt like she was being intergrated and welcomed with open arms from the off-set.

"It's so lovely to finally meet you, Buck talks about you, a lot."

She could feel the blood rushing to her head making her sway on her feet as she clung to Maddie and squeezed her in return.

"All good I hope?" When they parted, (Y/n) moved towards the kitchen as Evan went back to the door at the sound of another knock. "Do you want something to drink?"

She found a bottle of wine and a beer from the fridge, holding them out so they could choose. Making herself useful stopped (Y/n) from panicking so much and gave her something to focus on. She could hear Evan laughing at something, or someone, as the sound of footsteps thundered through the apartment.

Evan could feel his own nerves dwindling down when he showed the rest of the team through into the kitchen. Where Bobby and Hen immediately sat down at the bar stools next to Chimney who was leaning casually on the counter.

But when Evan looked over at (Y/n) and Maddie, he could feel his heart hammering out in his chest. They were laughing. Their heads were leaned close together, their laughs were mixing together and they were fumbling to try and open the bottle of wine while Maddie steadied two wine glasses in her hands.

That was what he had been hoping for. Seeing the two most important people in his life getting along like a house on fire.

"You must be (Y/n)." Bobby grinned and leaned his elbows on the counter when the younger girl placed two different cans of pop in front of him so he could choose. She could tell from the way he held himself and the description she got from Evan that this had to be Bobby. And she knew he didn't drink, much like her for the next few months.

She nodded with a tender smile and passed a glass over to Eddie and one to Hen while Maddie took over pouring the drinks.

"This is our Captain Bobby. That's Hen, and that's Eddie. This is my girl, (Y/n)."

A smile lit up (Y/n)'s face when Evan walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Reeling her into his chest so he could merge his lips against the top of her head. He swayed them from side to side with a bright smile when (Y/n) gave his hands a reassuring squeeze.

"It's great to meet you, Evan's told me a few stories from your station."

"God, what has he told you?" Eddie threw his head back with a grin and took a large gulp of wine as he slumped forward on the counter. But his intrigue only sparked when (Y/n) smirked around her drink and held his gaze.

Oh, she was going to play that game. Evan had told her a few stories then, as ammunition for a good night.

"You call him Evan?" Hen held her glass to her lips and leaned her shoulders back against the fridge with one arm wrapped around her chest. It had been so long since any of them had heard or called Evan by his name that she almost forgot what it was. There were still a few people who referred to Chimney as Howie, but Hen didn't know anyone who called Evan by his first name. Not even Maddie anymore.

(Y/n) nodded, moving her free hand to play with the chain of her necklace. It was how Evan introduced himself to her. He didn't say his name was Buck, because that was his nickname and on a first introduction he could hardly say his name was Buck Buckley.

But she kept using his name because she knew Evan loved it. She was the only person who called him by his first name and it did something to him. It excited him and grounded him and made him feel at home.

"Why?"

"Because he likes it." Her response made them all grin, and when she turned to the right where Evan was taking the lasagna out the oven, she could see him smile. His cheeks flushed from both adrenaline and the heat of the oven he was leaning into. "He only got the nickname for work," She added quietly, although no one was complaining and there was no need to explain further.

"Did you?" Chimney looked over at Evan with raised brows. "I thought it was just your nickname, from college or whatever."

"There were three Evans in his class at the fire academy, they had to differentiate."

Evan paused, halfway between the oven and the table with his eyes following after his girl.

She remembered. She remembered that story which he had told her on their second date when he mentioned most people would call him Buck, not Evan. He didn't think it would stick or that it was something that important, but (Y/n) remembered. She wanted to know why he had a nickname and why he seemed to love her using his proper name.

His eyes followed (Y/n) as she took the salad bowl over to the table along with the bottle of wine.

A few looks passed around the kitchen as everyone grabbed their glasses and followed to sit down since it was clearly time to eat. They were all thinking the same thing, as clear as day.

She was a keeper.

(Y/n) felt quite at ease when she had Evan sat on her left with his hand resting on her thigh. She had Eddie on her right, Bobby at the right end of the table, Hen at the other end and then Maddie and Chimney sat opposite them. It didn't feel as cramped as (Y/n) panicked it would and she could tell she was already fitting in with them and it felt like they were all glueing together.

"So, Buck said you're in college, what are you studying?" Hen leaned over to add some salad to her plate and looked over at (Y/n).

The conversation was flowing rather easily between them all. It was something (Y/n) was worried would be stiffled and broken, but she had been panicking for nothing.

Although just the thought of college made her stomach give an awful twist and sent her knee jittering against Evan's.

"I'm doing a degree in nursing." She tried to smile and tilted her head down towards her plate, but she didn't feel so hungry. Not after throwing everything up throughout the day and now feeling like her stomach was doing summersaults.

"Oh wow, so when we get busted up on shift, we can just get (Y/n) to patch us up."

"We're both medics Chim, so is Eddie." Hen waved her hand across at him as if he had forgotten what they all did for a living. Especially when Maddie mumbled a quiet "And I'm a qualified nurse too." in his ear.

Not that none of them wouldn't go to (Y/n), but they all pitched in to look after each other. And no one suspected Evan would be willing to share his girl, she was going to be his personal nurse and his only. He wasn't the sharing type, he was the jealous type.

"Well it's good news for me," Evan murmured and pressed his lips to the top of (Y/n)'s head.

"Yeah, danger-prone Daphne can have his own nurse so we don't have to patch him up." Bobby grinned and dodged quickly when Evan flicked his fork across the table at him, splattering red sauce on the collar of his shirt.

He wasn't as bad as he used to be when he was a teenager. Evan wasn't vying for anyone's attention anymore. He knew the people around him could see him for who he truly was. He didn't have to get hurt or break a bone for someone- his parents- to take notice of him and give him some love and attention. He had all the attention he wanted.

Evan kept his right arm looped over the back of (Y/n)'s chair and curled his hand around her shoulder. He leaned back in his seat and parted his knees to the side while his left elbow propped up on the table. It felt good to have (Y/n)'s head on his shoulder and her fingers trailing up and down his thigh to give her something to focus on.

"Don't you like Buck's cooking? He's taking lessons from Cap."

(Y/n) looked to the right when Eddie noticed she had barely touched her plate whereas the rest of them were almost finished. They were used to eating quick, everyone at the station had developed a high metabolism because of how little time they had to eat meals.

"I- I'm still a little nervous I guess." She was hungry, but she didn't feel like she could eat much. She still had a full can of pop left which she had barely touched and she knew if Evan noticed he would be watching her closer like a hawk.

She tilted her head to the left and pressed her forehead into Evan's neck, breathing in his scent and feeling the way his throat moved when he laughed at one of Chimney's jokes. The atmosphere was good; there was no need for (Y/n) to be nervous. They were all getting on like a house on fire.

But (Y/n) closed her eyes and moved her free hand to wrap around her waist when her stomach twisted.

She wasn't sure if she was starting to feel sick or if her nerves were getting the better of her. With her temple pressed into Evan's neck, (Y/n) couldn't tell for a moment if it was him or her who was beginning to sweat. The trickle of water that slithered down her neck told (Y/n) she was the one starting to get flushed.

She could feel her ears tuning out of the conversation around the table, she could barely hear what Evan was saying or work out what he was laughing at.

When her stomach gave an awful, twisted cramp, (Y/n) jolted into Evan and inbedded her arm into her waist. She felt Evan's arm loop tighter around her shoulders and his head tilted down to look at her.

"Okay?"

(Y/n) wanted to smile, she wanted to nod and say she was fine, but she couldn't find her voice or the will to lie. She wasn't so sure she did feel okay after all as another cramp burned in her abdomen.

Her chin pressed down into her chest and she pushed her palm down onto Evan's thigh to use him as leverage to stand up. She could feel their eyes fall on her as the conversation tapered off and quietened down when she turned away and headed into the kitchen. Her hands started to shake, one arm still around her waist with her other hand trembling against the counter that she used to stop herself from falling down.

As soon as the bin was within reach, (Y/n) doubled over just in time to throw up. Her hands gripped the bin and her stomach clenched as she doubled over and bent her knees, pressing her kneecaps into the bin to stay upright.

"Oh no." Evan dropped his fork on his plate and got up, jogging from the table into the kitchen.

He smoothed his hand up and down (Y/n)'s back and gently moved her hair behind her ear before she threw up in it. His lips merged with the back of her head as he moved both hands to her hips and held her up when she looked like she was going to fall into the bin and take it down to the floor.

He couldn't tell whether this was morning sickness acting up or if (Y/n)'s nerves were getting the better of her. Or maybe it was a mixture of both.

"I'm s-sorry-"

"Don't apologise, you're okay." Evan curled his left arm around (Y/n)'s waist and gently reeled her up into his chest while he grabbed a glass with his right hand and filled it with water. He handed the glass over but his lips curled into a grimace when (Y/n) tried to take a mouthful but ended up coughing it back into the bin.

(Y/n) let Evan take her weight and leaned back into him, gripping his wrist when his arm secured back around her middle like an iron bar preventing her from flopping down to the floor.

His lips meshed against the back of her head while his other hand gave her hip a reassuring squeeze. When she nodded, he turned them around and gently walked them back towards the table where all eyes were watching them with worry and apprehension.

"Was that the nerves, or the cooking? Should we be worried?" Maddie tried to break the tension and looked down at her plate that was just about cleared. Did they need to worry about food poisoning or any of the ingredients being off, or was this just (Y/n)'s nerves playing her up?

(Y/n) tried to smile but she couldn't find it in herself when another throbbing cramp burned in her abdomen and had her arms binding around her waist. She let Evan slump her down in her chair and suddenly she didn't care about everyone watching them. She let herself fold over and pressed her forehead down against the edge of the table with her hands meshed into her stomach.

"Are you okay?" Eddie clamped his hand down on the back of (Y/n)'s chair and turned to face her and Evan. He wasn't so sure this was nerves when she looked like she was in pain.

His eyes flickered over to Evan who sat back down in his seat, one hand moving up and down (Y/n)'s back while his other hand was pressed tightly against his mouth to hide his worried expression.

"I… um," (Y/n) tried to lift herself up and look at Evan.

She didn't know if she was alright or not, this didn't feel normal, but then again, she wasn't sure what was supposed to be normal anymore. Was this normal because she hadn't been eating and drinking properly? Or was this something they should be worrying about?

She couldn't tell them she was pregnant. Evan wanted to wait. He wanted to sit Maddie down and tell her first and give her the scan picture they were going to get next week. Then he wanted to tell the team separately. She didn't want to ruin things and tell them this way or panic any of them. This was the first time they were all meeting, (Y/n) wanted to get along with them not worry them for no reason.

"(Y/n)'s pregnant… we're having a baby."

Evan had to tell them. He didn't like the pain (Y/n) seemed to be feeling or the fact that she hadn't kept anything down today or much of yesterday either. If she was in pain he might have to take her to the emergency room. And he had his team here, at least one of them could assess her and see whether this was an emergency or not.

He watched the round of surprised faces stare back at him like he'd grown a second head in front of them all.

But it was Maddie who his eyes focused more intently on and the way her hands started flapping at her sides like she was a bird growing wings. Her lips parted into a smile and she tapped her hand against the table before something seemed to dawn on her.

"Oh, maybe we should take you to a doctor sweetie, just to be safe."

"No, it's j-just cramps-"

"Baby you shouldn't be getting those at all. You're probably dehydrated, you need to see a doctor." Evan slid his arm around her waist and reeled her back into his chest so she couldn't fold over again.

He watched carefully as Eddie gently took her wrist to feel her pulse before he pressed his hand against her temple and then lifted her eyelid to check her pupils. "If you are dehydrated, that could cause the cramps, you should get checked, maybe get an IV and fluids back in your system."

"Alright, let's go." Evan kept his arms looped around (Y/n)'s waist while Eddie stood in front of her for precaution as Evan eased her up. "I've had a drink-"

"I've only had one, I'll drive you." Eddie patted Evan's shoulder and checked his pocket for his phone and his keys while everyone round the table got up.

"I'll go with you." Maddie rubbed her hand up and down Evan's arm and reached over to take (Y/n)'s hand.

***

"How we doin'?"

(Y/n) tightened her hand around Evan's and moved her free hand to curl around his bicep. She pulled his arm so it was pinned into her chest while she pressed her nose and mouth against his exposed arm. She could feel her heart hammering against her chest and adrenaline pooling in her stomach when she looked around the waiting room.

The team were all here.

She knew Eddie and Maddie had offered to stay since Eddie drove them down and Maddie travelled down with them just to make sure they were all okay, but (Y/n) didn't expect them to stay. And she thought Bobby would have taken Chimney and Hen home.

All five of them were sat in the waiting room, looking very relaxed and not a bit put out or annoyed.

(Y/n) had dampened the mood of the night by needing a trip to the emergency room. She thought they would have gone home or gone back to one of their homes and finished the night off together. (Y/n) was expecting them to call Evan and ask if she was okay and say how she had ruined their first night meeting her.

She was expecting him to get a phone call from one of them to ask how old she was and if he was serious about having a baby with her. She didn't see their faces round the table when Evan told them; (Y/n) didn't know if they were going to be happy or concerned.

"You… you all stayed?" She looked around the waiting room before her eyes looked up at Evan who smiled softly down at her. He leaned to peck her temple while his other hand cupped the back of her neck to keep her close.

"Of course we stayed, we wanted to make sure you're both okay… you are okay, right?" Bobby planted his hands down on his hips as he stood up, looking between them with a cautious smile. Since he couldn't see tears or panicked looks and since (Y/n) seemed to be discharged, he guessed things were okay.

"Someone's dehydrated, but an hour on an IV's done the trick."

(Y/n) kept her face smothered in Evan's arm and clung to him tighter. Perhaps she should have listened to him earlier when he told her to have a few more drinks and try to drink some water. The cramps were because she wasn't eating or drinking properly but since they had disappeared and her blood pressure was fine, she was being discharged.

And their scan for next week had been moved up to tomorrow, just as a precaution so they could make sure the baby was okay and had no further issues.

"You didn't have to wait," (Y/n) murmured softly as they all made a beeline down the corridor, walking slowly towards the exit.

"Oh please, you're one of us now. We look after each other, we weren't going anywhere without you."

She could feel tears burning in her eyes at Hen's words and she smiled against Evan's arm as he gave her hand a tight squeeze. She was one of them. The team loved her. They didn't think badly of her or think of her as some little kid trying to use and abuse Evan. They knew she loved him and they knew she was going to fit in and be one of them.

They looked after their own, if one of them was in the hospital then they would all be there to make sure they were okay.

Her head turned to the right when she felt Maddie walking at her side and the older girl suddenly looped their arms together and leaned close to her. Maddie pressed her chin on (Y/n)'s shoulder, grinning madly between her and Evan like there was some big secret hanging in the air.

"So… I'm gonna be an aunt, finally?"

"You're happy?" (Y/n) felt Evan scoff beside her and he leaned down to press his lips against her hairline.

"I told you she'd be happy, stop worrying." He almost found it funny that (Y/n) asked Maddie the same thing she'd asked him. He wondered if she would ask everyone special in their lives if they were happy about the news. And he had a strange feeling that if she asked his parents, they would somehow be happy. They may not get along well with Evan, but they would be pleased he was at this stage in his life where he had found someone brilliant to settle down with.

"I'm thrilled, my little brother's having a baby. He's gonna be a big papa bear." Maddie squeezed (Y/n)'s arm and grinned as if she was the one who was having a baby. Her expression was so giddy that it made (Y/n)'s blood spark with adrenaline.

She agreed with that. Evan was going to be a great, cuddly, soft papa bear when they had this baby.

***

When Evan walked through the door, he fought to kick off his boots and let his shoulders drop down now that he was inside. It was as if the bed was crying out his name, telling him it had been over twenty four hours since he'd last got some sleep. He needed to go to bed.

He slung his work bag down by his boots, he would sort it out and tidy up in the morning; it was too late and he was too tired to bother now.

He dragged his feet behind him and shuffled across into the kitchen, rooting through the fridge for a drink. But when he turned around, his brows narrowed and he leaned his head to the side.

Why was the lamp on in the living room?

Downing the whole bottle of water in one swoop, Evan left it on the counter and walked out the kitchen. He passed the dining table, his head still tilted to one side as he tried to see if (Y/n) was still down here or if she had just left the light on for him.

His lips rolled into a thin line and his hands found his hips and he looked around the living room.

It was nearly eleven o'clock at night, and here she was. Sat cross-legged on the rug in nothing but one of Evan's lounge shirts. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, she had a pen clenched between her lips, a red marker pen tucked behind her ear. Two textbooks were laid out on the coffee table and revision cards littered the floor like she was performing some kind of omen or seance.

After dragging his eyes up and down her body a few times, Evan realised she had her headphones in. She hadn't heard him come in.

He made sure he wasn't about to stand on any of her revision cards and slowly went down on his knees behind her. He watched to make sure she wasn't writing any notes down; Evan knew how precise and neat (Y/n) made her notes and he didn't want to scare her and make her ruin them.

Satisfied she wasn't writing, he leaned forward and clamped his hands down on her hips. His chest pressed into her back and his face tucked into her neck, shivering as she screamed, spitting out the pen she had between her lips. A jolt ran through her body that jerked forward near the coffee table and ragged, panting breaths left her lips as she whipped her head to the right to look over at him.

"Evan!"

(Y/n) slapped his wrist and fumbled to move her legs and bring her knees up to her stomach. She let herself slouch back into his chest with her head on his shoulder. Her eyes closed tight and she took out her earphones, tossing them on the table now that her heart was pounding in her ears instead.

She hadn't realised it was so late. Once she'd gotten into the swing of revising, she lost herself and track of time. It was something to pass the time while waiting for Evan to come home. She didn't like being on her own during the night if he wasn't here. It didn't feel right without him.

"Sorry," She could tell by his tone that he wasn't really apologetic, and the feeling of his lips smiling against her neck also told her otherwise. "Do you know what time it is, baby?"

His words feathered over her skin while he started to press open-mouthed kisses along her neck and up towards her jaw. He was distracting. (Y/n) found herself melting into his touch and focusing on his actions rather than responding to his words.

She felt his left arm loop around her waist, pinning her into his chest while his right hand trailed up and down her inner thigh. With her knees pulled up like this, the shirt she was wearing had ridden up to her hips, giving him a perfect view of her bare legs and the top of her underwear.

"I got carried away," She whispered softly, turning her head so she could capture him in a kiss.

She had to keep herself busy somehow with Evan being out at work all day and into the evening.

"I think you've studied enough for one night, baby."

His hand left her thigh, but only so he could take the marker from behind her ear and toss it onto the table where he flipped both textbooks closed. He gave the notebooks a gentle push out of his way before his fingers latched back around her thigh and started to squeeze.

He inched backwards, pulling (Y/n) with him and turning her around so he could loop her thighs around his hips. He didn't exactly give her a choice and his baiting grin told her this was non-negotiable.

"I have a test tomorrow," (Y/n) leaned forward and smothered her face against his shoulder while her arms curved around the back of his neck. "I need to pass."

(Y/n) knew this test only counted for twenty-five percent of the final grade, but she still had to pass. She needed to pass so she didn't have to re-take the test or God forbid, redo some of this year again. Her grades were good, but her panic levels were even worse and (Y/n) was feeling the pressure. Everything had timed out perfectly thus far.

Meeting and falling for Evan, passing every class and each yearly test so she didn't have to retake anything. And now she was pregnant, her due date lined up with her graduation date. She could graduate before she had the baby. Get all her classes and tests out the way now while she was pregnant, graduate, and then college would be finished.

(Y/n) could have their baby, take some time and then find a job and start a new job alongside her new little family.

So that meant she had to graduate this year. She had to pass this test. She had to study.

"And you will, but you need to rest and go in with a clear head. Come on, we're off to bed." Both his hands slid beneath her scrunched up shirt so he could grip her bum as he pushed up to his feet and lifted her up with him.

He knew this was important, but he also knew that (Y/n) had been studying for long enough and she knew all the subsections she was going to be quizzed on tomorrow. She was prepared for this, but Evan needed her to come to bed and get some sleep so she was fully prepared and not going in feeling sick.

"I know, but-"

"No buts. You'll do great because you're my smart-ass girl. I'm off tomorrow so I'll drop you off and I'll pick you up. Eddie and Chris have invited us round for tea tomorrow, if you're up for it too."

He could feel (Y/n) grinning into his shoulder as he began walking them both up the stairs.

Since most of the class- and a few others on campus- had found out she was pregnant, curtesy of Sandra, (Y/n) had been anxious about going in. No one said anything, barely anyone glared or even looked at her like she thought they would. It wasn't like high school, there was no stigma attached to having a baby in college.

It was only the small cliché of girls in (Y/n)'s class that still thought she was doing this for a game.

But seeing how thrilled Evan was about having their baby dampened down (Y/n)'s nerves, and she felt better when he could drop her off. Especially if he could pick her up from class too. (Y/n) practically ran to the jeep to get away. It was like Evan had become her suit of armour.

As much as the girls wanted and loved to gossip, none of them said anything when they saw Evan waiting outside. (Y/n) felt brave enough to go to class and get through each lesson, knowing that when she left, most of the time, Evan was right there to pick her up.

"Sounds perfect."

Pavia // Wifey Material ♡

Note// This is probably one of the requests I got so crazy about so far.../pos and idk, Pavia is a ball of trauma- he needs some love too,,,

This almost kinda look like female s/o, but I also believe in male wife supremacy or any kind of girlboss gn/lh

___

I think the practice of the woman being a housekeeper while being with a partner or spouse started to decline by the time of 1960s- but let's just say you happen to be a special case...

You're probably a bit old-fashioned- no, that's not the word.... intergrity, modesty, care, and good manners will never be old-fashioned. They are civil, and make social interactions pleasant. Which is what the s/o would believe imo.

S/o would appreciate some traditional practices. These small little things... like writing letters, make flower crowns for yourself or for anyone sitting beside you, stay indoors while watching the raindrops fog the window with a peaceful melody, and draw whatever you can think of rather than watch television... The little things they wish they can just often do rather than worry about maintaining something... maintain their life.

I can imagine that the s/o would have this charm.. a loving, caring charisma of a classical darling. They're probably one of the strangest wonders Pavia ever encounter before his eyes.

You're always seem to wear many different clothes, whatever you can afford to have in your closet. Despite not having a lot of garments, you always manage it through the multiple cominations of clothing as you took the liberty to come up with.

Additionally, there were times you even tried to dress as if you're from the 50-70s. Even wearing a more modern aspect just to make Pavia's day more interesting after probably seeing "not-so-tidy and pleasant people at work"...

Pavia would have been skeptical at first... Affection and sweet-nothings being foreign and touches of an angel almost made him hide away further to the shadows - only time made him convince him otherwise the longer you stay with him.

The time he suddenly barges in to your shared room exhausted and all bloodied, only to see you folding clean clothes from the laundry as you sit on your shared bed---

I'm just imagining him lowering his glasses just to look closely at the sight of you for a silent moment. You eventually notice him once you turn around, greeting him with a warm smile instead of an angry look. Noting how he even stained his dress shirt with blood.

"Welcome home, love." You somehow say warmly as you set a folded shirt down to walk towards the confused Pavia, helping him take off his shirt. "I've just prepared the bathtube a moment before you've arrived... Go clean yourself up before coming down for dinner, alright?" You instructed Pavia before planting a soft kiss on his chest before going back to the laundry--- But little did you know he has other plans.

He grab onto your arm before pulling him towards him so that you ended up getting pinned on the bed by him. You didn't have the time to wonder what just happened before seeing his fluffy hair bounce by the impact. Seeing him with this same grumpy frown before he suddenly drops his head on to your chest gently, catching you off guard once more---

"I want kiiss..." His voice muffled as his arms were circling your torso.  You could only laugh softly by how "cute" He is acting, brushing his hair back to plant more kisses on his forehead.

"Here you go..." You whisper with that same gentle smile while holding him as if he's your whole world. "I love you... I love you so much."

These words are one of the things he longed to hear from you.

Seeing you doing many chores at your shared home, cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry... yet despite how exhausted you may seem, you never fail to give that same feeling of delight whenever seeing him coming back by the door. You're always found preparing a warm dinner and along with a bath waiting for him after a long day.... As if you're already pleased to just be with him for tonight.

This tender feeling he has on his chest... is indescribable to him back then.

But well, he won't pay much in mind about it for now... He'll rather focus on getting his job done so he can quickly come back to his wife much early, rather than spending a second thinking about it/ih

Pavia indeed has an ego, I'm really debating if he would treat his s/o as his trophy wife--- but I like to think he just spoils his darling whenever it seems Iike something is coming to a shortage--- like you're running out of a new batch of clothes, running out of money to buy cleanings products or groceries or you seem to be worn out from the constant cooking... he would be there to help and sometimes wishes he can just keep you around the house without laying a finger DBDBDBDB;;;

He just wants to treat you better unlike the time when no one was there for him when he needed someone... Now that he eventually saw you as someone to rely on with his vulnerable side, he's not afraid to be there for you either. You were with him for this long...

there's no way he can just let you go after, either because you know too much... or because he wouldn't want to move on like that.

Why does this keep reminding me of hubby headcanons- sometimes, Pavia is just going to call you "wife" teasingly, even if it may sound sincere and affectionate---

Ever calling him "husband" would make him get a lot of ideas - that I don't know where to start NDNDNDND- but well, not ingenious ideas surely/ih

Pavia be finding his way to put rings on your finger before kissing it whenever he sees the opportunity- seeing you fiddle around with rings on your finger makes him feel satisfaction and a sense of comfort that you appreciate things gifted by someone like him. His ways of getting rings are mysterious questions to fond out for another day - yey he would quickly know right away if a ring he buys is shady, cursed... maybe even dangerous. He'll immediately get rid of it it in the spot before it does anything to your beautiful finger-;;;

He'll absolutely call you by so many affectionate nicknames along with "wife", sometimes is either he cam just verbally express his affections or he wants to see you get flustered with whatever he would whisper on your ear as you hang clothes.

He'll often hold you as if you're really his woman, that even people around would mistake you as a real married couple--- he is not ashamed of PDA, so you'll often see how he would have an arm around your neck. Making the metal of his ring lightly brush on the nape of your neck. There are even times when he'll hold on to your waist from the side and pull you close to him so that you can feel your back touching his chest.

Pavia tends to notice how you don't usually vacuum the house or make any noise while doing chores when he's around, you at some point explain that you simply don't like disturbibg his peace when his daily life may not seem a quiet one. Give him a place of comfort to take a short rest.

He'll give you a lot of kisses in so many ways- often greets you with a cheek kiss, kissing the back of your hand when holding it whenever you guys go out, kissing your neck when saying good night as you're both in bed, he'll even capture those lips of yours passionately just from craving it after going through awful stuff in life-- he's finally in a haven, it's almost like an addiction.

That's it, I think he's already planning to put a REAL ring on you;;;--- Where have you been all this time, how come the universe didn't let you find him????

Man, he's mad, happy, and so in love.

"Oh Amore mio- Dove sei stata tutta la mia vita?" He be having this grin playing around the edges of his mouth as he says it, his cold rings creeping through your skin as he caresses your cheek with his knuckles.

There are times Pavia would take you on a day-off date where he can pamper you with a lot of food at a luxurious restaurant, buying anything you desire at some mall as well, whether you like it or not--- if you are the type to prefer quiet places- i don't even know how you even tolerate Pavia's nature as his lover- but i guess abandoned parks would do the trick for a picnic/ih

I feel like besides helping you financially, I like to think outside the box and consider... Would he like to spend time with you as he does house chores with you during a day-off?

I feel like he'll really have fun cooking with you. While you do prepare the stove or oven, I wouldn't be surprised if he is very good at chopping ingredients, cutting vegetables, tenderizing meat with a hammer, or make ground beef with the meat grinder as you watch him with a concerned smile...;;; He definitely would look like he is enjoying it too much-/ih

It would be endearing if he somehow manages to know recipes that he can teach you during his free time- maybe  like pasta.

If you happened to come out to find an interesting Italian ice cream recipe and ended up mastering it, Pavia would be looking like this boy peeking and lurking from the table counter as the mom is making some dessert- you sometimes have to gently get his hands off the pre-made Gelato so he doesn't try to taste it when it's not even frozen yet DJDBBDBD-

"Come on, mio amore- just a-one finger scoop-"😈 *gets his pinky swatted gently once again. "Bellaaaaaa-"😩

Pavia is the type of domestic partner who is a gelato connoisseur- like he literally suggested(well, more like complained...-) you once to buy a new fridge because he doesn't like the way how the refrigerator made the ice cream frozen hard instead of keeping the soft creamy texture--;;;

Over time, he starts to crave your attention and presence around him - often finding himself looking forward to come back and just eating dinner with you.... and well, watching you do things.

When he doesn't have to go to missions, he spends most of his time reading magazines, such on lollipops, and play with the wolves WHILE lurking at you quietly brushing the dust away from furniture, cleaning tables, knitting and mending clothes... and even in your sleep.

Sometimes he is weirded out whenever you sleep- yet he feels some tranquility from seeing your sleeping face... trying to not get too worried as he doesn't like the idea of people staying in a coma for 8 hours or more--- would be freaking waiting during those hours just to see you wake up confused as he asks you to make him coffee/ih

____

{Spending time with the Wolves... the children 🥺}

The moments where Pavias comes back after a mission, he finds it very heartwarming when watching his s/o  also pampering and cherishing the wolves as well.

When feeding them, you seem to keep this habit of waking up early to prepare breakfast for Pavia and the wolves. Including lunchables before hand so you can quickly catch Pavia to give him a lunchbox before he departs(Pavia be teasingly thinking you'll cry if he could leave earlier than you can come prepared- but man, isn't that so cute of you???).

You always have a notepad where you jot down Pavia's preferences and each of the wolves' eating habits and whatever food that seem to intrigue them positively.

You never forget to clean the 5 children, even if the first attempts may be unbearable to handle--- you still manage to make them squaky clean at the end of the day for Pavia's surprise. Along with making sure their fur is brushed, get disgnosed indoors and learning how to give each wolf a good healthcare service as long as they're at home...

You and Pavia still wonder what makes Andrea have the tendency to drool everywhere, though--

You learn to love being active, which goes hand in hand with playing with the wolves... It's always having morning jogs with them-(well more like is for your leisure). For their leisure, you always make sure they don't fight each other when playing, so they get their turns when playing catching the disc/stick. Sometimes, even pass the ball together or have a dog walk....

Imagine having these late night walks. Your friends be wondering why you be walking at such late hours, until they realize about your canine companions your lover raises alongside you--- (technically having leashes on 5 huge, sharp-teeth wolves in hand, walking beside you and making any red flag strangers sweat in bullets- how fun/lh)

Pavia always reminds you to have at least 2-3 of your shared children with whenever you go out- "just to be safe"..-- no buts. 😭 At least he cares... in his own way 🥺🥲.

So yeah... Grocery shopping with Peter, Maleficent, and Tonika are usually calm and smooth - the others were also behaving like sweethearts in public places too, of course! These 3 just happened to be more memorable for certain reasons...

Meanwhile, Leon and Andrea are very good companions when doing very active trips like mountain climbing or hiking - I'm not sure if you're the type for that. If not, there's also strolling at the park or at a long bring as one option!

Knowing how you seem to call the wolves as "children" and even sure that they view you as a mother figure would get him to a heart seizure from the serotonin--- the family is whole now;;;; 😭🥺

But well I let you guys read at the end with one funny cute imagine; you all at a car ride to the beach. 5 dogs sticking out their tongues through the windows.

Look, if you both ever visit Italy with (Pavia as the impatient tour guide) that's what the road is like. Even if like 10 percent of Italians wear seat belts, Pavia rather keeps his sweetheart intact from any accidents;

Pavia be putting a lot of seatbelts on you and giving you lots of kisses on the forehead(as if assuring--) before DRIVING SO FAST OMG--- PAVIA, SLOW DOWN???;;;/ih

"Hold on tight, Bella- this will be a bumpy ride!!!" *cackles as he freaking takes sharp turns---*

Yep, you're definitely living a household with a pack of giant puppies wolves---

🫶🏿Yes I’m—not-so-secretly trying to get an audition—you never know who is reading or watching with intergrity and alignment or snooping and hoping to steal/regurgitate what they read. We do the latter when we do not name our sources .I would love to be casted in the sequel #ryancoogler and deeply love that he doesn’t have an Instagram—such a truth to his living embodiment—powerful to merely observe how he navigates these systems. Plus, this film has one of my favorite singers on soundtrack @alicesmithmusic —🌹and one of my FAV characters Annie was inspired by her Grandmother. I don’t need to see the film to have a favorite.

✨”Inflammatory responses” are pure goodness. They signify that profound healing happening in the body and psyche (which is why pain or injuries can be initiations for us to become more intimate with these body parts and re-narrate their stories—telling these parts new stories about themselves). As we heal, we can truly arrive into higher more authentically loving & caring frequencies in the collective consciousness. And more of us must become devoted to doing this work in a timeline that’s becoming more artificial and synthetic—anti-nature, anti-human, and anti-eros/kundalini. The earth is surely not happy with how we are living as humans who are also part of the natural world. It’s also why many people are unwell, exhausted or stressed . The earth will always do what it needs to do to keep harmony with itself, even if it means take us all out. 🙏🏿

That’s why we will have to create art that deprograms and inspires new ways and thinking, and new habits/practices that distill higher harmonies. We need more art that includes the body and also touches into the mystical, miraculous, & uncommon, art that opens the body, purifies the heart, and raises the intimacy and intuition through the root of the body, art that helps us wake up from amnesia. Only art can do this.

We then will need to gather around the Oracle of art in our temples (homes), villages and communities to be truly transformed in relationship to others and to recalibrate our global world. That’s the prayer I live with every day.🙏🏿

Woohoo 🎉#sinnersmovie

Hello! Since it’s week 10 (technically week 12 but sshhhh), how has Izuku’s view and opinions on his fellow classmates has changed since the first week of school?

Hello!

-

Bleh, technicalities, who cares about 'em?

His views and opinions have become a lot more positive. 1-A and 1-B are practically friends at this point, due to introducing themselves far earlier and 1-B seeing the toll the USJ had on 1-A, so he automatically thinks higher of them.

He's much closer to Tenya and Ochako now, especially with him discovering Ochako's motives and the USJ incident bringing 1-A closer together as a whole.

Momo is slowly intergrating herself into their group, and he's so here for it.

Kyouka and Mashirao, too, have become closer to them with their shared experience in the conflaguration zone, and they respect him dearly. He feels flustered whenever they express this, and feels closer to them each time.

He and Denki have been getting closer, (Denki totally calls him 'sensei' after the quirk analysis), and he's so happy to find people who don't judge him for his analysis and respect it as he does.

Really, the only two people in the school he has negative feelings about are Bakugou and Shinsou, both for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the ask!

do south asian muslim communities still have caste in some form or is it just like, generally remembered what sort of caste someone's ancestors were

Yeah, however, I would say that these castes detonate your socio-economic class rather than your caste position, but they are fundamentally the same.

For example, many Shi'as consider the Syed or Ashraaf class (Muslims descending from the Prophet) to be in the upper stratum of the Pakistani socio-economic class and has thus formed their own chauvinistic and exclusionist policies, such as exclusive marriages between two syeds or ashrafs. Reverts are also treated like lower-caste Muslims and have often been the subject of discriminatory practices by their Arab conquerors in the Mughals and later Islamic empires. Hindus from the upper-caste that convert to Islam have had a political and diplomatic role as a bridge between various Islamic and Hindu communities. Keep in mind that none of these are espoused Islamically, and many of these socio-economic classes are a result of ancient and outdated practices in South Asia.

Keep in mind that Pakistan is one of the most diverse countries in terms of tribal and ethnic groups. Ethnic affiliation plays a massive role in the social stratification and are intergral parts to your social identity. But this has barely anything to do with Islam as much as it has to do with your ethnical and tribal affiliations.

Setting

Here's a speed run on the last 300-ish years

So 1600~ humans and mythics knew of eachother, fairy tales were taken seriously and both parties roamed the surface of the planet freely. Humans still lived in villages and kingdoms, lacking most technologies, favoring knowledge of the paranormal thanks to the fact that would keep you alive longer than knowing how to make a stove.

1653~ A war broke out between the two sides, mythics and non-mythics. The world wasnt big enough for the both of them and on top of that, during negotiations the human representative, Alan Baker, was assassinated, assumed through consumption as they found blood but no body

1657~ both sides suffered numerous losses but human technology has lept ahead, now able to use some coal engines and such to fight back against the mythics.

1658~ the mythic leader was assassinated, Vlarg the great was thought to be invincable but was brutally killed, the crime scene led officials to believe it was a single, unarmed human.

1660~ mythics go into hiding, the general rule being that you are not allowed to interact with humans unless hunting and even then do not be recorded or noticed. Some intergrated, some just disappeared, others continued to live as they pleased.

1700~ humans made minor advances, building massive cities and developing electricity, almost all magic has been forgotten, only select orders still allowed to hunt and practice magic

1734~ the hidden city is built, a sanctuary for mythics, it is hidden by 12 spells overlayed and is impossible to enter other than below, it contains about 100,000 mythics and the population is growing. Here they live like the humans do below the mountain, but they get to be themselves instead. Smaller mythics are mistreated as well as some bring humans to farm

1800~ The battle dome arena is created for the rich of those factions allowed to interact with the mythics, any caught on missions brought there to fight eachother for entertainment. Petite dragons being bred for food for the contestants

1820~ Minx was taken to the arena, this is an important part of history as it took her merely a day to destroy is and burn the entire thing to the ground

1830~ human society is where we are today, only exception being the fact mythics have intergrated themselves, hidden shops, roommate being a gorgon, you name it

Did you people actually listen to everything taekook and especially Jk said during the ITS talk? During the talk, Jk explained that when they were trainees, he and Tae were really close but as they grew up and started to spend some time apart, some parts of their friendship started to feel a little awkward. He went ahead to say that Tae used to play and goof around all the time but he had become really quiet now and wasn’t the same as he used to be.

Reading and listening comprehension is the reason so many people blew this whole thing out of proportion. Not once did taekook ever say they were generally awkward with each other or they had disagreements or were totally distant with each other. Jk said some parts of the friendship not all of the friendship and then when you remember that he spoke of Tae changing and becoming quieter and more reserved, it makes sense.

Everyone knows that taekook used to be partners in crime. According to them, they got scolded alot when they were younger and according to Jk, it was always fun with V hyung. Can you imagine how some things changed when the fun, quirky and loud V hyung that Jk knew and was used to suddenly became this quiet and reserved V hyung? They could relate to each other more when they both were loud and fun together but if one person suddenly becomes quieter and more reserved, it is normal that some things will start to feel awkward no? Jk was used to Tae being a certain way and then all of a sudden, Tae changed drastically and became this person Jk had never known before, so in a way, he became unrelatable to Jk hence the awkwardness in that part.

There is always something that makes two people click and that could be their shared interest in certain things or how similar they are in the love for certain things but if this principle things that made them really click suddenly goes away, some awkwardness and distance creeps in because if Jk could just sit with tae and be goofy and fun together before, he definitely won’t be able to do that anymore when Tae wasn’t as goofy anymore so that particular aspect of their relationship feels awkward. I’m not saying Jk only liked Tae when he was more fun to be around no, he loved all of who tae was but an intergral part of their friendship and bond was in their “commonality” and when that started going away, SOME PARTS BECAME AWKWARD.

All these could be true but still doesn’t in anyway mean that Jk and Tae ever lost the love and care they had for each other. Yes a part of their friendship felt awkward and some distance crept in probably because they stopped living together in the dorm and moved out and got their own places back in 2018. So if Jk used to see Tae everyday before, he probably didn’t see him everyday anymore. I also remember Tae saying that Jk had invited him for a drink but he couldn’t make it. Plus, when you remember the fact that even when they had a break in 2019, Jk said he only saw two members which didn’t include Tae, then everything tracks. It was kinda weird that two besties like taekook didn’t even see each other once to hangout during a whole break right? Something was definitely wrong or different. I know that taekookers keep posting pics or videos of them standing together or being affectionate with each other to prove that there was never any awkwardness but feeling a little awkwardness with each other doesn’t mean they stopped loving and caring for each other. Things were just different maybe especially when they were alone but i don’t think that was the case when they were together with the rest of the members or other people.

Also, please could y’all stop using skinship as a proof to them never being a little distant or awkward? Skinship is like second nature to them, boys who practically grew up ontop of each other. These are boys who have slept in beds together, showered together, worn each other’s clothes and even underwear, used the same spoons, fos and chopsticks, eaten food that has fallen out of each other’s mouths so what does Tae going to cuddle Jk in bed on ITS mean? Or what does Jk consoling a crying tae mean? Or what does Jk asking tae to lean on him mean? Jk cares about Tae just the same way he cares about all his members and if he saw any of his members disturbed he would be there for them whether they talk or see eo everyday or not.

There is also different kinds of closeness. People being physically close doesn’t mean they are close mentally or psychologically or even share a deep emotional connection. Jk said he had been able to have a heart to heart talk with all the members except Tae and this shows that there was some emotional connection missing there. Think back to Festa 2020 when the members had to write notes to each other. What did Jk write to Tae? He told Tae that he had noticed that Tae was alot quieter this days so he just wanted to let Tae know that he can talk to his members if he is going through something. Doesn’t this track with everything? Y’all are only looking at this from the angle of physical closeness but forgetting the psychological aspects of things.

Trust me when i tell you that the members don’t interpret skinship between them like international fans do. When Jk sat inbetween Tae’s legs on ITS, he didn’t do that because Tae is his boyfriend and sitting like that was some kinda sexual thing, no. We have seen Hobi literally put his hands inbetween Namjoon’s legs (close to his dick) to wipe off water from a chair. We have seen Jin have his arms inbetween Tae’s legs up to his dick. We have seen Jk slip his hand up Jimin’s shirt to caress bare skin, we have seen Tae kiss or sniff Jin and Jimin on their napes so trust me when i tell you that the way you interpret their skinship is very different from the way they see it or intend it.

Bear in mind that first of all, you and the boys are from completely different cultures which means there are certain things that will be weird to you but it completely normal between them. You gotta be careful trying to read body language between people of different cultures too because while certain things are universal, there are always nuances that you miss when you are not from that culture, no matter how much you think you know. Plus, the company is not as stupid as you all like to think. If they intended to make taekook follow a script of “being awkward” like you claim, then why did they basically fill ITS with alot of taekook being soft and affectionate with each other? Even the most stupid person wouldn’t do that.

There is no confusion as to how TK content increased after 2020. It’s not because the company finally started trusting them more, it is because Taekook talked about that distance that were creeping in and promised to work on getting back the closeness they had when they were trainees and they did. They started making conscious decisions to spend more time with each other and gradually, they came back to their old selves. Remember in seasons greetings 2022 when Tae said his new year resolution was to spend more time with the members? Look for that clip and look at Jk and the members reactions. They looked like they didn’t believe him because he never spent time with the members when they were not working. He was always with his wooga squad and during chapter two, we saw him making a concious decision to spend time with them. He hung out with Jungkook, went on vacation with Hobi and family, also went bawling, or skiing (can’t really remember) with Hobi, and then also made time hang out with Jimin in chapter two. He promised to make time for the members, something he probably didn’t really do before and actually did it.

I know that you are looking at these things through the taekook lens and that is why somethings don’t make sense to you and that is why it makes perfect sense to claim that things with taekook in ITS were scripted but they weren’t. When Jk sat there explaining how things were between himself and tae, he didn’t look like someone who was reciting a script. He looked genuine and sincere. We all know Jk isn’t a good actor so sometimes pay attention to him and the emotions he conveys when he talks about things. That is how you can tell whether he is being sincere or not.

Just wanted to chime in with this because it is kinda sad how till this day, many people still don’t understand that talk.

Sorry about the extremely long essay.

Hi anon!

Don't worry about the long essay, I don't mind those.. and I understand very well how some things just need a bit of elaboration.

I have actually listened to what Tae and Jk were saying and the conversation they had was actually not about there being awkwardness (or awkwardness in parts of their friendship). I made this post last year where I edited out Jk's interview, and I feel the conversation Jk and Tae actually had, had a very different vibe than what the whole looked like with Jk's interview edited throughout,

Editing that part in was a deliberate choice. There not being a part in which Tae also speaks about the situation is also a choice.

I don't think the thing is scripted, I do feel they were probably given instructions as to what to talk about. Imo Jk wasn't in frame enough to say much about how comfortable he was when talking about Tae and his friendship.

It's ofcourse possible that they decided to not show us the whole conversation (privacy) and Tae and Jk did actually speak about what was wrong/missing/awkward in their friendship. But if that is the case... why make this a section in ITS? Their awkwardness/distant feeling was not huge enough to prevent them to work together well. In general showing that there's a disconnect between two members of a band isn't something companies are prone to show (bad for business). And showing anything that points to something being amiss between members is always an excuse for members involved getting hate. BH would know these things (and you yourself say BH isn't stupid... and I do agree). From a business perspective as well as from a privacy perspective... this makes no sense. What it did, was it laid the groundwork for Taehyung and Jungkook being friendly again while at the same time putting in place boundaries. If it actually was as subtle as you lay it out to be.. BH made sure to put a big magnifying glass on the both of them by making this a topic in ITS.

There's much more to Tkk than just their skinship to me, but I'd also like to point out that skinship, even in the context of SK culture, is still a sign of a strong bond. Jk and Tae imo have the strongest skinship out of all members of BTS together, and yes to me that does mean that they have the strongest bond. I have actually read up on skinship outside shipping spaces. I recognize the different ways in which BTS members show skinship and to me there's still a difference between Tae and Jk and the others.

If they intended to make taekook follow a script of “being awkward” like you claim, then why did they basically fill ITS with alot of taekook being soft and affectionate with each other? Even the most stupid person wouldn’t do that.

ITS to me represents the shift in how Tae and JK together were being portrayed in content. So for them to turn into cuddlebuddies in ITS totally fits that.

As I said, there's much that makes me believe Tae and Jk were always close. The many cases of silent communication through looks (yeah yeah, this sounds vague, but it's actually there), signs of them being jealous and or annoyed because of the other, they look for comfort with the other, they share things they don't with others (playlists). All throughout those years there's constant hints of Tae and Jk being closer than is actually shown. Tae himself mentioned Jk and himself in one breath during Suchwita when talking about 2018. He spoke of Jk and him in a way that to me said they knew each other's state of mind then.

You talk about their commonality having been missing, and yet Jk wrote 'commonality' for Tae at Festa2020. I think there's always been much more between them than just the goofy part. Tae and Jk have a trust, an understanding of each other that has been hugely important. You don't get someone to get out of their shell by being goofy alone.

Is it possible there has been some emotional disconnect? Yes, I believe so. I think Tae's mental state has been very bad at times, which proably made him disconnect from a lot of people around him. To me that does not account for the whole timespan of 2017-2020 though... and I think he leaned on Jk quite a bit during that time as well.

I think in the end this boils down to whether you believe everything that is handed to us. I don't. I don't trust BH to be open about having a queer couple in their midsts. Not taking into account Tae and Jk, I think if BH finds out about having a serious same sex relationship within one band they would absolutely try to hide that. It's difficult to talk about these things, because the step from hiding to lying is a small one in this case.. and none of us want to actually accuse members of lying. I don't think they lie a lot. I think it's mostly evading stuff and rewrapping things into an acceptable explanation. Do I think there has been an occasional lie, probably yes. To me that does not effect how I think about their integrity at all though. When it's not safe to tell the truth and you are prodded to give a reply or an answer to something you do what is best for you. They're not hurting us by doing so, they are most likely hurting themselves.

It’s time for a new Nuzlocke! This time we will be playing a Genlocke run. We are starting with FireRed/LeafGreen, Katana is playing FireRed and myself LeafGreen. Tonight we made it to Pewter Town before saving and logging off.

“I started with grabbing myself a Bulbasaur that I’ve decided to name Gladiolus after growing them in our garden last year and loving them. He’s a good boy. In Route 1 I managed to catch Gale the Pidgey, who came in clutch through the Viridian Forest later on. When we got to Viridian City I popped over to Route 22 and encountered a Mankey, but unfortunately Gale was a little too feisty in his approach and the Mankey was knocked out. Next I fought Blue on Route 22, and boy howdy that was scary. I was underleveled for the fight, but I pulled it off with no losses. Thankfully I spent all my money at the PokeMart right before going out there. The team and I spent some time training before heading to Route 2 where we met Ricardo the Rattata. He was a little guy, and it was a long process getting him caught up with the team, but once he hit level 7 and the other two were level 8 we made our first steps into the Viridian Forest. About 20 minutes earlier I made a joke to Katana that knowing her luck she’d encounter a Pikachu in the Forest after she realized she wanted a Caterpie, but it was actually me who got the Pikachu! Welcome to the team, Maus! We spent some time in the Forest battling trainers and wild Pokemon before eventually making our way into Pewter Town to close out the night.” - Sikká

“I’ll be honest, I’m not a great strategist when it comes to picking my starter. Whoever calls to me, I just have to bring them on the adventure! And when I saw that sweet Bulbasaur in the lab, I knew Hamhock had to be mine. (if the weird names confuse you: it’s all a part of the plan, and I promise they get weirder :)) On Route 1, I caught Pesto the Pidgey, somehow matching Sikká with my first two pokemon. We made our way over to route 22 next, and the birds must be calling for me, because a Spearow practically leaped into my arms! His name is Spacob, and I can barely keep him from gobbling up every Caterpie he sees. Speaking of bug pokemon, my Viridian forest catch was a Weedle with a larger-than-life personality, so ALPHAB1TCH she is. Spacob was intergral in gobbling up the creepies and crawlies along the Viridian Forest so we could move on. Hamhock also made it to level 10 somewhere amongst battling the bug catchers, and we had to throw a little party in the entrance to Pewter Town! Finally on Route 2, we met a shy Rattata named CASHDRAWER. I think he wants to be a banker one day.” - Katana

[crackhead4]

I just finished The Excorsit.

...

(They make me ill, but in a good way, yk. Like a cough that I don't wanna go away)

I'M NOT OKAY.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

WHY. Just why did they have to break up? They had a good thing going, helping people, having those small touchy moments between each other, Marcus trusting someone, Tomas loving someone without the guilt.

Just WHY did they have to spilt up, and WHY DID THE SHOW END THE MOMENT BEFORE THE CLIMAX.

Like it was building up so so SO MUCH. MOUSE AND TOMAS GOING OFF AND PROBABLY BONDING OVER BEING HEARTBROKEN AT SOME PIONT IN THEIR LIFE BY MARCUS.

BENNETTE HAVING BEEN INTERGRATED WITH A DEMON AND IS NOW ON THE OTHER SIDE.

MARCUA FINALLY, FINALLY HEARING GOD VOICE AND THE FIRSY THING HE SAYS AFTER IS TOMAS NAME.

I was so close to hitting the next button cause I was ready for season 3, BUT SILLY ME. THERE IS NO SEASON 3

I was ready to see Marcus begging for forgiveness, and Tomas finally for once not having a bleeding heart for everyone and let's Marcus grovel for his forgive. CAUSE GOD DAMN HE DESERVES IT.

I was READY to see more of Mouse and Tomas dynamic and their friendship blossoming. Maybe figuring out Tomas's gift and what it is, what his limits are, and what his strengths are: in other words, what else can he do with it.

BRO, I WAS READY FOR SO MUCH LORE TO DROP, THE CHURCH TO BE DELT WOTH IN NOT A 10 EPSISODE SEASON BUT A CLASSIC 16 EPISODE SEASON. ( cause I remember when shows used to push so much out for just one season, and really we were spoiled with them 😔)

But all in all, I just want MORE. More of tomas and marcus moments, the moments were they're not relying on anyone but each other.

I want more of Marcua opening up about his childhood to Tomas.

I ant sweet, sweet domestic moments between them. One tending to their wounds making their coffee, practically memorised they way the just like it.

I want them just happy.

Canonwelding The Scarlet Pimpernel

As always constructive feedback is welcome.

Big Finish's, "Plight of the Pimpernel" introduction of Baroness Emmuska Orczy's legend/meme character, "The Scarlet Pimpernel" active from 1789 to 1794 played by four people, (Argana, the 6th Doctor, Peri, and Oliver) active throughout the, "Reign of Terror" 1789 to 1794 can easily be intergrated into Faction Paradox canon. Argana's obcession with the books means he would have tried to folow the book series's canon as practically as possible meaning some of it's details can be used aswell.

"Several prominent alchemists and engineers loyal to the Chamber and it's allies lost their lives in France, a catastrophe which the Chamber believed, (in typically self obsessed fashion) to be deliberately instigated just to spite it's members", The Analytical Engine, The Book of the War.

After becoming aware of, (possibly through the Prince of Wales, the future George IV) and survieling his activities it's likely that The Service would have recruited Baronet Sir Percy Blakeney, (Argana) in late 1789/early 1790 and later Oliver in 1793 as an agent so that they could get some of their aristocratic allies out alive, (likely Shadow Directory agents, though in the end very few) amongst those he rescued. They no doubt offered and provided assistance but this would have been limited and the League of minor aristocrats was self sufficient anyway.

Writing possibilities While alot of the book series's stories and details can be reused and or referenced any author must bare in mind the changes created by the Big Finish audio, (eg: No Marguerite and the inclsusion of the audio's historical characters) and the added details of The Service. Realistically speaking it would essentially be Christmas Special type story with the Star Chamber and Service appearing as framework cameo details. Whether he qualifies for the Cult of Celebrity Death is unknown.

Notes Oliver probably took on the persona of Percy Blakeney along with that of the Scarlet Pimpernel and may have eeded more direct Star Chamber asistance then his predecessor if ony to maintain his new triple identity. Argana didn't mention his Service recruitment to the Sixth Doctor and Peri becuase it's limited assistance and secret nature meant that for the League it didn't matter for the most part and the Argana obviously had other more important secrets on his mind.

[lordsovorn]

Today I read that "Sun is Conscious" article and it's honestly a bit embarrassing to pan-psychism.

You really don't need to make up a magic system to advocate for everything to have some sort of mind.

///

Look at it this way:

Is everything in the Universe conscious of its surroundings - that is, do secondary stimuli affect the changes of its state? Like, you smell bacon, you go to the bacon?

Nope.

That requires quite a lot of hardware (or wetware, in the case of living things).

Does everything in the Universe have a internal ("mental") simplified representation of the past and present influences on it, that shapes its present state and its interactions with the environment?

Yep, certainly.

We have it in our wetware (neurons), computers have it in their transistors, humanity has it in our cultural habits and memes, earth has it in molecules and isotopes in the layers of dirt and cracks and hollows in the sediment.

Is everything in the Universe self-aware - that is, has an internal representation of itself?

You could argue that, in a way, kinda.

A lot of objects can be learned about from only their parts - just like there is a tangle of neurons in your skull that represents the entire (simplified) you-person.

Without environmental awareness, that would be a strange kind of world-less consciousness, an internal crude representation of self without any context whatsoever. Completely alien to us, surrounding-AND-self-aware sacks of meat, fashioned by billions of years of evolution.

It would honestly be harder to find an object whose parts say nothing of the entire thing.

On the other hand, intergrating both kinds of awareness to the point where you have a mental image of the world and yourself in it requires A LOT of hardware, and that's pretty unique.

///

Of course, there are practical reasons to distinguish between the kinds of consciousness that interest us and the consciousness of a rock.

Or the Sun.

The Sun feels us, yes - through a fraction of its light being reflected back in a particualr way and bumping into its endless sea of burning hydrogen plasma.

In this way, everything feels everything, however imperfectly.

And the Sun remembers us in the handful of atoms that once felt such a bump.

But the Sun is not a person. It is not human-like, and it won't do anything human-like or even life-like about it.

And, honestly, that's still really awesome.

shower or bath?shower/bath in the morning, afternoon or evening?

headcanon prompt : accepting

Suguru is the type to find something cathartic in taking his time with self-care routines. Whilst in highschool he would often get scolded by classmates for using up all the hot water in the showers; it was sort of a running joke that if you walked into the school gym shower and everything was moist and reeked of cologne, Suguru had probably been there before you. His preferred time would be directly after a mission or training — he did not like feeling sticky or smelling bad. It wasn't so much a vanity thing as it was about comfort.

Later on in life he switches to taking long baths in the temple onsen; in tubs accessible to him and his family, alone. Suguru invests some time in learning about bath salts and relaxation remedies at that point, as self-help for the disrupted sleep patterns that plague him after Amanai's assassination. He prefers to take a bath in the evening, for that reason.

As for Kenjaku, again they don't have personal preferences about these mundane things anymore. It's the essence of their technique, that they steal the lives of those they embody, so all of these little habits and inclinations are taken on as their own. Kenjaku cares about maintaining the vessel's intergrity in the same way someone would care about keeping their room clean. Even though they have learned to find some manner of pleasure in simple things ( can you imagine how dull 1000 years of life would be if they wasted it like a hermit ? ) their detachment makes it hard to enjoy such physical sensations beyond their practical use.

Making of: Intergrated Practice - Portfolio Presentation.

As part of this module I was tasked with giving a presentation on what type of career I wanted within the animation industry, which animation studios I would particularly want to work for (and why) and present my newly built online artist portfolio, which included links to my social media accounts.

When it was my turn to present, I mostly spoke off script and, using the slides I had produced as guides, I described the work I am, so far, most proud of, what studios I'd like to work for (mainly Kilogramme Studio for its 2D work and Mackinon & Sandars for its diverse stop-motion), and how, while mainly specialising in digital 2D and stop-motion, I didn't want to be put in a box as an artist. Showcasing in both my presentation and my showreel that I can work in a diverse array of mediums and styles, including live action puppetry.

My presentaiton was well received. My teacher particularly liked the inclusion of my live action puppetry work. He commented on how that was a unique medium to work in, and I agree. Much like animation, I personally feel live action puppetry is a very unique medium with a vast amount of potential for creative visual storytelling. Potential which, in my opinion, has been relatively unexplored in the medium of cinema. I would very much like to make more short films using exclusively live action puppets and puppet sets.

[cyberbeez]

Kinda forgot I had rain world ocs drawn tbh.

In order: Slugcat nicknamed The Coil, their lil pup (yet unnamed) and their easily excitable iterator travel buddy who managed to relatively safely modify themselves to get out of the can as a humble puppet, A Hundred Chains.

Very long rant about them under the cut, because i made up a whole timeline for AHC's story specifically. I will make one for others in the future, too. Again, it is VERY long, you don't have to put yourself thru that.

- - -

Coil were originally a local group's shared "project" to help/nudge their buddy AHC to reconnect to the local network for they believe he has either them all blocked or his systems broken down completely, latter for the most part. The slugcat carries the pearl with instructions(and a few pleas) to reestablish the links and an elaborate form of protective "gear", hence its name. Its harness consists of:

! miniature energy coil akin to those in transform arrays of iterator cans that can be actively ised if the predators of the wastes try to feast on them, similar to centipedes. Exuded electric charge stuns most animals and lets Coil escape their maws. It is intricately intergrated into scugs bodily functions and thus can be recharged with the use of a few food pips. Attempt to craft an electric spear discharges the energy coil completely for the rest of the cycle, however.

! very basic radio transponder with an antennae to further reestablish contact with AHC prior to them reconnecting to the network (more or less to directly yell at him for ghosting the group prior to complete radio silence.)

The harness cannot be taken off by scug themselves due to being heavily intergrated into their body(but boy did it try at first. quite a painful experience.) After a successful mission it will be carefully picked apart under supervision, though.

- - -

The slugpup is a little ball of mischief they've picked up during their trip to collect the data pearl from another iterator to further deliver it to AHC. The little guy got lost in the wastes and survived by following the travelling group of scavengers, picking pearls, food and other little things for them on the way. Coil's contact with the group was met with hostility at first, but slugpup's recognition of Coil as their kin and being friendly towards them gradually lowered the anger way down. A few presents for scavs here and there from the scug itself also helped a lot, which in turn granted it quite a safe passage on the way to their goal. After reaching the facility grounds of an iterator, they leave the scav group together, staying on good terms.

- - -

A Hundred Chains is somewhat of a complicated figure amongst his local iterator group. Second oldest of them all, he has observed his creators for quite some time before their inevitable mass ascension, eventually growing tired of their whims and ways, especially with his city inhabitants and their arrogance. They don't really despise the ancients per se, but are very aware that their own structural design, purpose and place in the society make it nigh impossible to evolve in any significant direction from what they already are, and they are resentful of the notion. Being stuck in a can and not being able to change that sucks, don't you know? His name is an obvious reflection of his inability to break constraints placed on him by the creators and also reflection of his city inhabitants being chained in place atop of the iterator structure with no viable option to leave due to deadly downpours below. Them being stuck above ground did not water(lmao) their arrogance down, though, and they do not speak too fondly of their iterator, even if he's the one who keeps them alive at this point.

The ascension of said creators only worsened the way in which they were viewed, for Chains is very angry at them for being practically abandoned with no viable means to get repairs, upgrades for the structure and, well, direct interactions. He often expresses his frustration to the local group(tbh all of them do), not afraid of badmouthing the ancients, which in turn strains his relationships with one of the neighboring iterators who seems way more fond of their "parents", even if not to an extent of open hostility. Others mediate the conflict as best as they can while the communications are still working and, for a while, the group's relationships and bonds are stable and mostly unimpeded.

Chains, however, is not very motivated to tirelessly work on the Great Problem, since there's no one to work on it *for* anymore. He doesn't express that part directly to others, but they kind of guess anyway and even share the sentiment, at least partly - aside from conflict mentioned above, AHC's group is pretty tight-knit with their beliefs and ways of thinking, frequently helping each other out with their research and common issues. There is enough understanding among them all that their position in the world is very, very unfair and only worsens with time, and they try their hardest to stay close to each other. "longevity in numbers" is kind of their motto.

Instead of working on the Problem, AHC begin experimenting with modifications to their own structural integrity instead, doing what little they can without direct administrative access to repair the faulty modules and increase efficiency for important parts of themselves. This, understandably, takes an annoyingly long amount of cycles to perform and leaves them considerably frustrated, although they don't forget to share their findings and successful attempts with the local group out of kindness and concern, too, which helps them all to ease the evergrowing load of disrepair and structural decay.

The Sliver of Straw situation and the tragedy of [canon] iterator group, received through the word of radio communications and increasing use of messenger animals leave the local group at quite the loss of words and with minds troubled. They grow wary of others and the global divide of iterator beliefs as a whole, choosing to stay out of trouble and keeping their thoughts to their group only, as well as ceasing most of their structural experimentations out of fear of contracting some form of rot and/or possibly harming their neighbors in the process, keeping only the most vital and needed altercations going, like communication arrays. [If they were to pick a side in the debates, though, they would be closer to anti-sliverists, if only for their wish to find a more *safe* solution that would not destroy them instantly leaving no time to pass the findings. They wanted to make sure everything is in check and won't go haywire. Just death does not seem like a solution to them.]

Chains' resentment of iterator design choices from ancients only grows during that time, and he believes that the world is righfully theirs [iterators as a whole] for the taking, since the ancients left them all to rot and decay, stuck in place with no ability to ascend and/or escape their imprisonment. AHC sees it as some form of revenge and one-up move on long-departed creators and starts trying to bypass the administrative restrictions placed on him and ingrained in his gene sequences, little by little, piece by piece, even if he is very aware of possible consequences. They also start to hide their attempts to do so from the group since the rest are being (somewhat rightfully) paranoid about the whole debacle, thus making them a bit of a recluse when it comes to research. Others, for the most part, don't notice the shift at first, for they are dealing with their own crisis of beliefs at that time. When they finally do, however, AHC straight out refuses to acknowledge the change and tries to brush it off as being busy with work on the Great Problem. Knowing him and his earlier frustrations with even the idea of the Task and the ancients as a whole, they, of course, don't buy it, but don't pry too much either, for which he is thankful.

Quite a lot of time passes before AHC manages to safely overwrite at least some parts of their genome, giving themselves more means to operate and maintain the structure and its parts. That much time to pry and ponder at their situation brings them an idea of a mobile vessel, and their own puppet in the mainframe seems to be an obvious pick, for it already looks like something you can possibly use for movement and doesn't need to be built up from scratch. Chains is sure he can do it with enough efforts and thinks others in his group should try as well, because, again, the world is theirs for the taking! They are basically gods amongst others in this world, and wouldn't it be fitting if they could walk its premises?

He drops hints of his idea here and there in the interactions with his local group, expecting them to pick it up. They do, eventually, but they are quite frankly scared of the possibility. To detach themselves from their frame almost seems a fate worse than rot and structural failure, for you are willingly "stepping down from your godhood, choosing to descend to the level of simple beasts below the clouds". They are not sure it'd be good for their survival, for the world below is extremely hostile due to rains and resource scarcity, and they express their huge concerns clearly to Chains. He is adamant in his ambition to do so, though, and while he mostly stops talking about it, he slowly flashes out the design for the mobile puppet in secrecy and gets to work.

His idea of a mobile unit basically boils down to a "mini-can", aka the set of miniature iterator systems that he can carry on with him, producing enough power for the puppet to stay charged. Just like the Coil's harness, it is intricately integrated into the puppet's carcass and allows easy water consumption and energy production. He finds that you don't really need help of mass rarefraction cells on such a small scale compared to that of full iterator structure, but a small supply of void fluid being constantly filtrated and recycled becomes a very useful source of basic energy production due to its chemical properties. Mindful of void fluid usage and its decay of practically anything it touches, he tests the vessel for it meticulously in the experimental wing, once damaging his systems when it erupts from the faulty carcass. Void eats its way down through quite a few chambers before flowing out to the ground, and it slows AHC's modifications down considerably.

Water input/output during the attempts to repair the structural integrity is thusly increased even further than needed for the experiments alone and is noticed by the local group. He is almost honest about it when they inevitably pry, concerned, leaving out only the real reason for the void fluid eruption. Together they brainstorm a few [explicitly safe] solutions for it over the next dosen of cycles, which Chains is thankful for, using them to patch up the holes as best as possible, for the void keeps eating away at him in some places. Continuous maintenance, however, helps to negate further decay for now, thankfully, and they keep the experiments for the mobile vessel going.

After a long while they finally manage to finish the void fluid recycler, effective enough to power the puppet for a long while. They gradually design the tiny transform arrays and the rest of the needed structures (notably a small memory conflux chamber that can host a few neurons with an ability to bring even more with you in general, letting them float around!) which takes way less time than the recycler, to be honest. However, the modules are still in the experimental wing of the can and need to be moved to the main chamber. AHC decides to mess with their overseers a little, modifying their forms, too, to be able to carry around some weight, and gradually broadens some connections between the parts of his sctructure for ease. That means a bigger entrance to the puppet chamber, too, the process for creating which is very intricate and needs a lot of concentration to do safely, so they stay inresponsive to messages and conversations outside, instead focusing on this task alone, redirecting the connections of the chamber and modifying overseers.

This is, of course, making others very worried. Chains have already been damaged by a void fluid eruption to the groups knowledge and now they are downright unresponsive, even if their messages are reaching them. They worry he might be breaking down even further, and when their continuous attempts to get a response out of him prove to be futile, they decide to combine their efforts in creating a messenger to send to him. Due to their gradual structural decay even with all their efforts at little repairs here and there, they split the process between each other for energy conservation. One is picking the most effective creature to send on the mission, ultimately picking a slugcat from one of the wild packs that managed to find a way to their facility grounds, eventually leading them to their chamber and giving it the mark of communication; one is creating the harness (ultimately following AHC's path in that regard. not that they know it yet); one is brainstorming all the viable repair solutions and instructions, inscribing them all on a big enough pearl(that would be one h u g e pdf file if it was a file. she is very meticulous in her approach.)

While all this goes down, Chains ultimately succeedes in creating a future mobile unit, safely moving all the parts to the chamber and integrating them into the puppet. The repurposed overseers find their new use, too, for he modifies namy of them further and builds in many instructions on how to operate the can at a plausible level. They also assign one of them to his puppet directly, so it follows them everywhere they go. All seems good.

He hesitates to detach the umbilical cord and a hand for a good while, though, the words of worry and caution of his fellow iterators ingrained in his memory. They were right, ultimately: detaching himself from the rest of the structure IS scary. Losing most of your memory and processing power in the process IS terrifying, even if he fills three pearls with valuable research data to take with him! He doesn't have a place for a communication array in his puppet and additional modules and will only be able to reach out to others when he gets to the nearest existing one outside!

But he got so far on the sheer power of will and defiance of ancients. He might as well take the dip.

And that he does, detaching the puppet and leaving the can through the access shaft for the first time in his existence.

It's beautiful, really. Chains gets out, and he laughs, laughs so hard and for so long that his lungs would have hurt if they ever existed. Their ultimate project is successful, and they are free to explore this world as they choose. The sight of their neighbours' cans is breathtaking when viewed directly, not just with help of the overseers.

AHC knows it will be difficult to survive outside, and they can never be ready for what awaits ahead, but this makes them giddy with excitement. Their first stop is the city atop of their previous "forever home".

- - -

Coil eventually reaches AHC's can and finds the puppet chamber empty, the whole structure operated fully by local overseers. The overseer from one of Chains neighbors that was brought along translates the feed clear as day, leaving the group horrified at their find. Through it they urge the slugcat to search for the puppet.

Coil finds Chains way later, below the iterator's can in one of the industrial sector's shelters, recharging from a long journey across their own facility(it is a random chance to find him that varies from cycle to cycle, like with slugpups). A long-awaited communication between him and the local group ensues, and after a very teary and long talk with them AHC thanks Coil for the opportunity, and they sleep away the rain till the next cycle. They travel together since then, for iterator is quite fascinated with Coil's harness, and their slugpup is absolutely charming. They will ultimately embark on a journey to Chain's closest neighbor as the end of this campaign, so that he can share his knowledge and convince others to go the same path as him.

- - -

Jeez, that took me half a day. I really wanted to write the whole story out because i love my little guys to bits and kinda proud of what I've managed to make up for them. Thank you, whoever is still reading. Means a lot. <з
