Viral Yuri Web Manga 'The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All' Licensed in English

On Friday, Yen Press announced that it has licensed Sumiko Arai's viral web manga The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All (Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko Janakatta). The first volume will be released in English in October 2024.

The publisher describes the manga:

Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an employee at a local CD shop. He’s got an air of mystery about him, great style, and an impeccable music taste. Little does she know—this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is right next to Aya’s, she can’t help but be extremely aware of the other’s crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question for Mitsuki—but perhaps getting closer to Aya wouldn’t be so bad...

The popular manga was initially posted to X (formerly Twitter) in April 2022, where it gained immense popularity for its characters, storyline, and unique visual style. It was picked up for print publication in Japanese by Kadokawa, which has released two volumes as of February of this year.

The series has recieved high reviews and sold over 150,000 copies within the first week of the Japnaese manga. It won the web manga category in the 2023 Next Manga Awards.

According to the author on X, the series has been licensed in over a dozen languages and territories, including China, Italy, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, France, Thailand, and Taiwan.

Readers can look forward to the first volume's official release in English this October.

Health update, featuring: DIAGNOSIS

I have been a chronic pain patient for a few years now. It's difficult to fully articulate how much pain changes your life, unless you are someone who has lived it or had a loved one live it.

Pain sucked away my energy and brainpower. I found myself sleeping more and more, first in naps after work then I was regularly calling out half days just to sleep. All the while, I was seeing doctor after doctor in hopes that someone would have an answer.

No one did. At first, it was almost a relief. It wasn't cancer, after all. But then the relief turned into disappointment and quickly into resignation. Labs were fine, X-ray was clear, CT was good. It should have been good news, except I still hurt all of the time and no one could tell me why.

The pain got worse. It peaked in Autumn 2022, when I finally got my first sliver of relief. Gabapentin kept the pain in control enough that I no longer had to regularly sleep half of the day, but it made me foggy. Still, it was easier to manage than the brain fog from pain, so I took it.

I still take it, and I’m on quite the high dose. It’s given me a semblance of a life back, but it’s not the answer or a cure. I still napped, I still hurt too much to even walk around a store for more than an hour or so. And, if I did, it would be my only activity for the day.

I lost my job late last year. I don’t believe it was because of the time I had to take, it was a mass layoff, but I’m certain it did not help. That, at least, ended up fine. I found a job I prefer with far better pay within a few months. And they’re, so far, understanding that I’m working through health problems.

But being unemployed was still a stressor, and I had learned that stress was integral to my pain. When I was stressed, it was worse. When I was calm, it was bearable.

I’ll skip describing another round of tests and hypotheses that went nowhere. In October 2023, my husband and I went to the Mayo Clinic or the Cleveland Clinic or John Hopkins (I am being intentionally vague here). This was our second time visiting, the first gave us absolutely nothing.

A nurse practitioner took a very quick look at me, too quick for our comfort, and declared the issue muscular. She recommended physical therapy. It seemed too simple, really. After all of that, all that money spent and time invested? It wasn’t like I hadn’t tried some exercise, but when moving makes your pain worse and worse pain zaps your energy, that’s difficult to maintain.

Still, I wasn’t going to turn my nose up at anything at this point. And it’s a damn good thing I didn’t.

The physical therapist I ended up seeing told me I had the strongest pelvic floor she’s ever seen. And that’s not a good thing. I have apparently taken literal decades worth of anxiety, depression, self-loathing, and any other negative emotion you can think of, and held them taut there, keeping my pelvic muscles almost constantly tensed.

And when you tense that much for that long, dysfunction arises.

My official diagnosis is Pelvic Floor Disorder. All of my PT has been focused on stretching, no strength training or cardio. I’m retraining my body to relax, to let go.

It has been amazing.

At the time of writing, I’ve been going to sessions for about six weeks. Already, I am eager to walk our dogs every day. I’ve gone out on my own or with friends to move.

The pain is not gone. But it is so much less that my pain clinic doctor is discussing reducing my gabapentin in a couple of months. And with decreased pain comes decreased brain fog.

Decreased brain fog means not only an improvement in my professional work, but space for fandom. I’ve written more than I’ve shared, lots of short private stuff for friends, but I haven’t had enough organized thought to re-approach the stories I put on hold.

I can’t promise anything, of course, but I hope that can change soon. I’ve been dabbling in Distant Echoes again, and it’s fun to be back in that world.

I’m not well. But I’m better. I’m so, so much better.

Top Non-Kpop (and of the sort) Artists : Arctic Monkeys, System of a Down, Måneskin, Skindred, AC/DC (and more, but I'm lazy.)

- My story on how I got into K-pop is long, but let me cut it short for you! ↓↓

: 2019 - Randomly found an ATEEZHello82 interview during their ‘Wonderland’ promotions, became obsessed with the song, and added it to my playlist. Couple days later, I found a Kard Interview from their ‘Bomb Bomb’ promotions from a couple months earlier, became obsessed with the song, and also added it to my playlist. Couple days later, found ‘Boy With Luv’ by BTS, and while I didn’t like the song much, I enjoyed the video and was interested, leading me to look into them. BTS was the first group I stanned.

: 2020 - Introduced my older cousin to BTS and she became obsessed, obsessed to the point where she claimed biases and told me i couldn’t favorite the same songs as her or even bias the same members, this put me off and I slowly drifted from them.

: 2021 - Forgot that the BTS songs, ‘Wonderland’ and ‘Bomb Bomb’ were Kpop and I listened to them as if it was the like the rest of the music in my playlist, (except it wasn’t, i used to not separate my playlists so it was a jumbled mess of 80’s, Childish Gambino, Nu-Metal, Skindred, SOAD, Rock, Arctic Monkeys (literally their whole discography) and Måneskin. (so many more artists but im too lazy, basically, i listen to everything)

: 2022 : Early 2022 - Removed the Kpop songs from my playlist, leading me to forget about them. Late 2022 (Around October) - Asked my best friend who was very much into Kpop to recommend me some music, and I looked into it.

: 2023 (April) - Had a bunch of Kpop songs in a separate playlist, and came across a Kpop in public video, the song in it was ‘Maniac’ by SKZ which I then became obsessed with, that song led me to ‘Case 143’ which i listened to for months, and it intriguedme to the point where I thought “I HAVE to stan this group” and I looked into a guide. Then, 2023 (May) I fully considered myself both a Stay and a Kpop stan.

Later in the month: Started stanning other groups.

There's my story of how I got into K-pop, it's the shortest I could make it 😔.

gaeun and christian started off as a casual thing but soon developed feelings for each other after meeting a few times. it was a whirlwind romance for the pair, but gaeun wasn’t looking for anything serious.

BEHIND THE CAMPAIGN: LOUIS TOMLINSON

MUSICALLY | 19 APRIL 2023

Former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson released his debut album in 2020 through Sony but moved to BMG for his second album, Faith In The Future, in November 2022. Lisa Wilkinson, director of UK marketing (new recordings) at BMG, explains how they looked to reposition him in the market, what learnings were coming from his live success as well as his own festival, why his merchandise strategy directly informed his multi-formatted record release strategy, how they were able to build him without mass radio support, where a wider male audience was targeted this time round, why Twitter remains his most powerful social media platform and how a highly vocal and engaged fanbase was nurtured further and directly involved in the campaign.

1. COMING TO BMG FOR HIS SECOND SOLO ALBUM

This is his first album with BMG. His debut album, Walls in 2020, was with Syco Music [via Sony]. That was off the back of X Factor with Simon Cowell.

He had done a couple of more commercial singles – one with Steve Aoki [‘Just Hold On’] and one with Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals [‘Back To You’]. They were really successful streaming singles, but that’s not who Louis is. For the boys in One Direction, the ones that have been successful and the songs that have been successful are the ones that have stayed super pop and commercial. Louis did that but it’s just not who he is.

I think he felt, in that structure, that he just wasn’t getting the support to be who he wanted to be. That’s exactly why people come to us. It’s an artist services deal and we’re there to support you and advise you.

You can see from his live business and his merchandise business – and every other thing that Louis does – that there is an incredible fanbase there for him.

When they [Syco] released Walls, they achieved 14,000 units in week one and got to number 4 in Q1 in January 2020. We thought that just didn’t feel reflective of what was happening [around him].

We went and saw him at various venues on his world tour. We went to New York and saw those two shows and we went to Italy and watched his Milan stadium show in front of 30,000 people.

You’re looking and you’re thinking, “Those numbers don’t make any sense. How on Earth did you fumble that?” We were confident that we could do better than that.

He had a signing dinner in October 2021 and then his world tour started in February 2000, which was the delayed tour [due to the pandemic]. It went all the way through to September, pretty much nonstop.

They sold half a million tickets that year. All the while he’s on tour, he’s still making the album.

‘Out Of My System’ was released as a DSP-focused track before the album. It’s the rockiest and heaviest track on the album. He came straight off stage, went into a vocal booth off the side of the stage [to record it]. Because of the energy, he was so fired up. It was a difficult process because it was creating an album on the road.

He wanted to make an album for live. It was a totally different experience for him. Covid hit just a few months after Walls dropped so the tour was out of the question.

Before we started working on the album campaign, he did a show at Crystal Palace Bowl, which was the first incarnation of his Away From Home festival that he’s created and curated, which is for up-and-coming indie bands.

He gave away 8,000 tickets in August 2021 when we could start doing outdoor things again. I was there and was thinking, “There’s something big going on here.” The fans were so committed and dedicated.

Considering this is someone who hasn’t had real radio support or is seen in celebrity magazines or on social posts, this is a huge phenomenon.

That continued into the tour.

Hey! So lately I've been thinking about Kyle x (fem) reader who is like really abusive but it's because her drinking problem and all her unhealthy relationships she's been in which Kyle finds out moments before he was about to break up with her because of her abusive behaviour and instead of breaking up he decided to try to help her somehow.

(Aged up ofc) A little fucked up idea but if you feel comfortable with writing something like that I would be grateful!

Addiction Kyle broflovski X Addicted! Reader

TW!! ALCOHOL ADDICTION

Kyle goes to confront (y/n), and finds out a terrible secret and the reason why she was so abusive.

1,100 words | afab reader | aged up characters | if you didn’t like it tell me what you didn’t like and I’ll change it for you! :)

IDK ABT THIS ONE GUYSSS I FEEL LIKE ITS RUSHED 😢

—-

This was it

Kyle was finally going to break up with (y/n). The bruises were too much, the insults were too much, and the excuses he would make when his roommates asked about how they were doing was too much.

He walked down the buildings hall, looking for her apt room, her roommate had moved out long ago, leaving her alone. Sadly, for him all that did was worsen the situation. He loved her, don’t get him wrong, but with every hit, insult, and bruise he found his love lowering and lowering until finally he couldn’t take it anymore.

His fast-paced walking stopped when he finally got to her door. He anxiously bit his lip, let’s hope she doesn’t make this too hard. He knocked, surprisingly loudly, the knock echoed through the hallways, but there was no answer.

“Fuck” he muttered, reaching for his pocket where he had a spare that was for situations like these. He entered the key and twisted it in before opening the door. A faint fan could be heard over the door squeak and he looked around, she’s not in the living room.

“(Y/n)?!” He yelled out. He scanned the whole dorm, there was no sight of her. What he could see though was an open notebook on her bed. Now, Kyle wasn’t the one to snoop, but this one time curiosity took the best of him. He grabbed the notebook, running his fingers along the spine as he turned to read the contents.

It just keeps getting worse, I’ve tried and tried so many times. Kyle doesn’t deserve me, he doesn’t deserve this, but i need him. There’s times i don’t remember what i did, but i could feel it.

He tilted his head and flipped the page to the next one, nothing. He then turned it to the first ever page in the notebook.

December 20th, 2021

I recently tried alcohol, and it was euphoric. It felt like for once in my life, all my worries went away. I’m thinking about making this an all time thing

March 2nd, 2022

I don’t think I’ve been a week without alcohol since i first started. The hangovers suck, but it’s all worth it.

October 31, 2022

I met this guy named Kyle, he’s amazing and I’m hoping we can maybe become a thing? I’m so excited! Currently drinking in my dorm, with my buddy Bebe.

Dec 20, 2022

I’m starting to regret this alcohol thing, it’s been a year. I cant seem to go a day without it. Me and Kyle got together, he was sweet, but I’m worried about what will happen if i keep this up, so I’m going to stop.

January 1, 2023

I cant stop. It’s keeping me awake, i can’t sleep, i can’t live without it. I cant.

January 10, 2023

I hit Kyle. I hit him and i yelled at him. It’s a hazy memory, but i remember it. I cant tell him about my problem. I don’t know.. what am i going to do.

Suddenly the door slammed open. The rattling of hung photos could be heard all the way from the room. Kyle quickly shut the notebook and went to the closet, leaving a little peak in the door to see.

(Y/n) was seen stumbling, a red cup in her hand. She was giggling to herself, but then the giggling turned into crying out of nowhere. “FUCK!”

She punched the wall, upset about something. But Kyle wouldn’t let her hurt herself, not now that he knows. Kyle quickly stepped out of the closet, making his presence known.

"(Y/n)!" Kyle called out firmly, his voice cutting through the air. "Stop!"

Startled, (Y/n) turned towards Kyle, her eyes widening in surprise and anger. She held the red cup tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white.

"What are you doing here?" she snapped, her voice filled with frustration.

"I came to talk to you, but I found your notebook instead," Kyle replied, holding it up slightly. "I didn't mean to invade your privacy, but what I read... it worries me, (Y/n)."

A mix of emotions crossed (Y/n)'s face—confusion, betrayal, and anger. She took a step forward, her hand trembling.

"You had no right to read that!" she shouted, her voice cracking with emotion. "Get out of here!"

Kyle stood his ground, concern etched on his face. "I'm sorry, (Y/n), but I had to know what was going on. I care about you, and I can't stand by while you're hurting yourself and our relationship."

With a sudden surge of anger, (Y/n) raised her hand, preparing to strike Kyle. But before she could make contact, he swiftly caught her hand mid-air, his grip firm yet gentle.

"No!" Kyle said firmly, his voice laced with determination. "I won't let you hurt yourself or anyone else. We need to talk about this, (Y/n)."

(Y/n) struggled against his grip, her anger momentarily replaced by shock. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she slumped, her defiance fading away as a wave of sorrow washed over her.

"Why... why are you still here?" she sobbed, her voice filled with anguish. "After everything, why won't you just leave?! You don’t deserve this.”

Kyle's expression softened, and he released his grip on (Y/n)'s hand. He stepped closer, wrapping his arms around her as she continued to sob. The anger had dissipated, replaced by a deep sorrow that tore at his heart.

"Because I love you, (Y/n)," he whispered, his voice full of compassion. "I won't abandon you, even when it's difficult. We need to face this together, no matter how hard it may be."

As Kyle held her, (Y/n) collapsed into his embrace, her sobs becoming more subdued. She clung to him, seeking solace and finding a glimmer of hope amidst the pain.

Kyle held (Y/n) tightly, providing a comforting presence in that moment of vulnerability. He gently stroked her hair, offering silent support as they stood in the middle of the room. The weight of their struggles, the bruises and insults, the addiction that had taken hold—it all hung heavy in the air.

"I'm so sorry, Kyle," (Y/n) finally managed to say between her sobs. "I never wanted it to be like this. I never wanted to hurt you."

Kyle continued to hold her, his voice filled with empathy. "I know you didn't, (Y/n). Addiction is a powerful force, and it changes people. But we can't let it define our relationship. We have to fight it together."

(Y/n) looked up at Kyle, her tear-streaked face showing a mix of gratitude and despair. "I've tried so many times to stop, but I can't do it alone. I need help."

"And you'll have it," Kyle assured her, determination evident in his voice. "We'll find the support you need, whether it's therapy, rehab, or whatever it takes. We'll face this battle together, (Y/n), and come out stronger on the other side."

In that moment, amidst the pain and uncertainty, they found solace in each other's embrace.

Am I allowed to ask what the drama was with you? One of my friends(they like smg like you! :D), they just gave me your user and said to block you, but didn't respond when I asked why.

I read your lil intro an you seem nice. What's the deal with everything?

It’s a long story but I’ll explain it via a message I said to someone else regarding this whole thing

So back in 2021 I was a very obsessed SMG3 simp and may have been a little too over the top with simping for him, I would make $3x jokes and all in which it made people feel uncomfortable, now there was a time where things went down, someone said they were “Going to make me 🥜 from 3 without saying a single word”, the things is, I thought I did, but I didn’t, I said I did, but I didn’t because I had only known the word from WOTFI 2021, this whole ordeal happened a little less than a month after WOTFI 2021, I realize what it means now and apologized for anything I did wrong, it was all an accident but they don’t believe me and irdc, I also once made a chapter in a story with elements of r4p3 because I was inspired by another SMG4 story creator who added the same thing but I realized that it wasn’t a good idea so I deleted the story and promised to never do it again, then about a year later, the day after Christmas of 2022 people were talking about me on X or whatever and made a doc about me in which it caused me to feel bad, even made me think $u1c1d4l, however the people online accused me of faking my thoughts, so fast forward to 2023 in August, I had a crush on a girl by the name of YellowCaballeroFan who had been my friend since October 14th, 2021, I asked her out and she accepted, however exactly 4 months later she said she lied about her feelings and said she pretended the whole time, this caused me to be heartbroken, I told her that I didn’t want to do the game we played every day because I needed a break from her since she basically dumped me and that was when she started showing remorse for her lying, she said she lied but then started saying she didn’t lie; lying again, I told her that the next time she says she didn’t lie that I’d unfriend her, she said it again, I unfriended her, then she admitted she lied, then we were friends again, or so I thought, now in the RPG game she would constantly make SMG4 and SMG3 have $3x in almost every single RP session we had, I got uncomfortable and snapped out of it wondering why I didn’t report her sooner, I reported her and she got banned on Roblox for one day, she got banned 3 times and she said she never knew why she got banned but it was because she was being $3xu4l in the RPG, note that she’s 20 years old and we started this RPG when she was 17 and I was 14, now more to this, I was in the SMG4 Discord Server when I met someone, they wish to be anonymous, me and them would joke around about SMG3 because we both simped for him, now this was where I made a mistake, I said that the three of us could have a thr33$0m3 but I never knew the proper definition of what it was, I thought it was three people dating and not three people doing “it”, the reason this went out is because I made a comment about race swapping SMG3 and people in general because I thought it was wrong and everyone there was calling me racist because I said SMG3 was white, by this I meant his skin color but people thought I meant the race white, I’m fully aware that SMG3 is Asian, but I didn’t mean the race white, I meant the skin color, so then the person who made a big deal about it decided to post it on X and say I’m all racist or whatever and then the whole thing with the thr33$0m3 went out and now people are saying I’m a p3d0ph1l3, the thing is, I’m not even an adult and the person in question was 2-3 years below me, so I’m confused on how I can be portrayed as a p3d0ph1l3 when I’m not even an adult, and now people were accusing my friend of p3d0ph1l14 when he’s been trying to stop YellowCaballeroFan from making SM3 x Enzo content because SM3 is a p3d0 and Enzo wishes to not be involved in SMG4, she also ships FM and X when FM wishes to not be shipped with X, now there is the doc by the person of Yubel198 where she says I’m a narcissist but she supports YellowCaballeroFan and her gross actions, she says I’m a p3d0 yet she supports YellowCaballeroFan basically gr00m1ng me during those SMG34 $3xu4l roleplays

I can’t add everything from that message in due to the character limit but I’ve been trying to apologize for anything I’ve done, true or not, I’m trying to be someone better, I just want it all to stop, I understand if you block me, I really do, but that’s my side of the story and I’m trying to fix things I did whether they’re true or not

I saw a post going around by @maguayans​​ about making a year-in-review post, and it looked too fun for me to resist!

It hasn’t quite been an entire year for me. I started this account on January 18th, but the time has flown right by! I think it’s good to reflect, and this is the time of year for it, that’s for sure. I didn’t want to do it Spotify-style, so here we are. Just the bare bones.

On Writing

This year really marks the start of my taking my work as a writer much more seriously. It was also the first time I was paid for my writing (!!!). I opened commissions, although I only sold any to people I knew. I only published one piece of fanfiction this year, in January--just a little study of Silco and Jinx from Arcane. But I have a couple others that I’ve been fiddling with to keep me loose that I might even finish one day. In April, my husband and I launched our Patreon, and as of this month, we’ve released nine volumes of The Bishop of Black with a 10th on the way! We managed to put out a new volume every month, along with bonus side-stories. I’m very proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish together. In the summer, I came down with some terrible Gorr the Butcher brainrot, but the fic isn’t finished. It is, if I do say so myself, rather good, though. I also immediately became obsessed with Alchemy of Souls, but that fic isn’t finished either. I haven’t had an awful lot of free time, just in general, this year. I’ve struggled to make dedicated time for my projects. This blog has also begun to grow quite well! I reached my first major milestone in October, did a very fun giveaway, and then smashed that milestone to absolute bits. This, I attribute chiefly to the miraculous accident of a post that I made at 2am escaping containment. I did make an attempt at pushing out a few more words in November, but came away with a little more than 5 000 on RAVENOT, which is more progress than I’ve made in some time. I also released a polished first chapter, which stands as a sort of pilot for the project. Some folx were even kind enough to drop a little tip in my jar for it, which was lovely. I did get some little drabbles out, too. So I think I’ve been sneaking out the words fairly well this year. And that’s about it for 2022, as far as my writing goes. I wasn’t able to really get back to my bookmaking, but I’m getting pretty handy with Affinity Publisher and that’s got to count for something.

On the Future

I’d like to try to commit to a few things for 2023. Here’s the list: + complete a draft of one WIP for 2023 (spoiler alert: it’s going to be RAVENOT) + read every day + dedicate time to writing every week (collaboratively, and solo) + consistently include IDs for images in original posts + get back to bookmaking! I’ve been making nothing but x-folds and pamphlet stitches and it’s making me wilt

On Meetings

And I do want to shout out some of the wonderful members of this here writeblr community that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting this year. Warmest regards to: @flowerprose @muddshadow @pinespittinink @impaledlotus @inkspellangel and @calicojackofficial for being some of the highlights of my dash! And of course, I must give mention to those I know and love already: @rosieartsie and @magefaery​ <3

On Reading

I did manage to get a fair bit of reading in this year, all things considered. I would’ve liked to read more, but there’s been a lot for me to adapt to this year. Here’s the list (the ones I especially liked get an asterisk*):

Dune, Frank Herbert They Both Die at the End, Adam Silvera When No One is Watching, Alyssa Cole Manhunt, Gretchen Felker-Martin* Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor, Xiran Jay Zhao* Entangled Life, Merlin Sheldrake* The Time Traveller’s Wife, Audrey Niffenegger* A Dowry of Blood, S. T. Gibson* Nothing but Blackened Teeth, Cassandra Khaw Blood Scion, Deborah Falaye Terciel and Elinor, Garth Nix Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, Nona the Ninth*, Tamsyn Muir Woom, Duncan Ralston Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke, Eric Larocca manga Beauty and the Beast of Paradise Lost (1-5), Kaori Yuki* Jujutsu Kaisen (up-to-date), Gege Akutami* Boku no Hero Academia (up-to-date), Kohei Horikoshi Kimetsu no Yaiba (1-23), Koyoharu Gotouge Kaiju No. 8 (up-to-date), Naoya Matsumoto* Chainsaw Man (up-to-date), Tatsuki Fujimoto* Utena: After the Revolution, Chiho Saito JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (part 1), Hirohiko Araki

And that’s all, really. I wonder where we’ll be this time next year.

ABOUT.

Hellraiser. Like his cousins, Leo and his younger brother became known for stirring up trouble in Center Hill. As a child, Leo was as intent on leaving his mark as the rest of them. He was confident, barreling through doors and breaking rules like a hobby. To say he was aggressive is an understatement. Growing up with Andrew as a father wasn’t easy. Like his brothers Jeffrey and Steven, and their beta, Peter, Andrew had firm ideas. Particularly when he came to the pack and how children should be raised. Their mother, Heather, never questioned it either. Either they fell in line, or they’d be made to. It was as simple as that. Fighting and training was a given, always a ruthless lesson in how to survive.

He began helping out Ryan at the Jones ranch on occasion and that exposed him to a different way of life. Though he sometimes thought it simplistic and naive, he could see the merits. At least, he could see how they'd grown in strength and numbers through other leadership. His respect was begrudging but there. And Leo didn't exactly mind helping out much either, eyes wandering to a Jones himself. However fleeting their moment had been, it was memorable to Leo, his last bit of distraction before the war reached them.

The Atlanta Massacre separated Leo and his brother. He continued with the pack, intent on finding him along the way. And because of his determination, he stayed with the Ramos brothers in Colorado. He'd heard chatter of larger facilities in the state funneling supernaturals from everywhere. He knew it'd be easier for him to stay and look, than the entire pack, so he continued his search in the area until December 2020. Leo evaded capture but Christmas Day attack separated him from the Ramos brothers and their pack.

For most of 2021, he traveled alone, trusting next to no one with his survival. He scoured for his brother and other known missing members of the Cross pack. It was the first time he was so isolated, having grown up with a rowdy family surrounding him at every turn. His thoughts became his constant companion. He'd think of finding his brother and their pack in Canada. Of life back in Atlanta. Sometimes, they'd even drift to a certain wolf.

In February 2022, he sought shelter from the weather in a safe town near the Canadian border. It was a fatal mistake. Several days after arriving, the military attacked and captured them. The US government traded Leo and others over the border, to a facility outside of Regina. But what started as a defeat soon became a victory when he discovered his brother there. He'd been in the facility for X time and Leo's only regret was he wasn't captured sooner to find him. With his brother by his side once more, Leo’s resolve only grew despite what they endured there.

In October 2022, a half successful liberation attempt hit their facility. Both brothers fought like hell to escape. They ran fast and far, never looking back.  Over the next months, they continued their journey through Canada. Even with Hollow Cove as their destination, getting there was no small feat.

They arrived at the start of March 2023. But the reunion with their family and pack took an unexpected turn when Leo discovered he was now a father. Stunned by the news, it took several months for it to settle in. Even so, he and Hazel have worked out a tentative way of co-existing and co-parenting. Leo doesn’t know the first thing about being a father, but he knows he’d move heaven and earth to keep Lucy safe. He'd say that’s what keeps him coming back, and it is the truth, for the most part. But Leo isn’t the person he once was. Though he seems unchanged, there are parts of him that are forever altered by his journey to Hollow Cove. His fear is that those parts will surface and push his daughter away.

Kanye West apologizes to Jewish community, after his name was written on Israeli missile

Famous American singer, Kanye West’s name has been spotted on an Israeli missile which is apparently going to be used in the Middle East war. A prominent Israeli mixed-martial artist, MMA, fighter, Haim Gozali is taking credit for the stunt. Gozali, who was once affiliated with Bellator, shared the picture of the missile on his official social media handle. DAILY POST reports that the MMA star has been very outspoken on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, oftentimes mocking the death of Palestinians over the past few months. In November, Gozali had written the names of Muslim UFC fighters including Khabib Nurmagomedov and others who have expressed support for Palestine on a bomb that seemed to be on the frontlines. However, sharing new photos of some of the missiles apparently in the possession of Israeli soldiers on his X account, Gozali wrote “@kanyewest you don’t like us Jewish. So we don’t like you either.” The picture captured a shell with the inscription “Kanye West Flying to Gaza Haim Gozali.” It’s unclear if Gozali is the one actually writing the names, or if someone else in the Israeli Defense Forces, IDF, does it on his behalf. Meanwhile Kanye West or Ye, has finally tendered a public apology to the Jewish community over his anti-Semitic comments. This is coming one year after the singer declared war on the Jewish community following his controversial Paris Fashion Week show, where he showcased his White Lives Matter shirts. DAILY POST reports that Kanye had in October 2022 lost lucrative contracts with Adidas and Balenciaga led to losing his billionaire status. He was also banned from X platform and Instagram after saying he was going to ‘go death on 3 on Jewish people’ in a tweet. In a new development on his Instagram page on Tuesday, December 26 2023, the 46-year-old, however, posted a message written in Hebrew which translates to: ‘I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. ‘It wasn’t my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I’m committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. “Your forgiveness is important to me, and I’m committed to making amends and promoting unity.” @kanyewest you don’t like us jewish. So we don’t like you too !!! pic.twitter.com/V0oF6mNBnq— Haim gozali (@GozaliHaim) December 24, 2023 Read the full article

Alan Wake 2 How to Download

Alan Wake 2 announced for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X at the Game Awards

Remedy has debuted a new Alan Wake 2 trailer, announcing the sequel's release date as October 17. The developer has also published a new FAQ to supplement the trailer, revealing that Alan Wake 2 will get two rounds of DLC after launch. The Dark Place operates on dream logic, shifting and looping, drawing its appearance from the mind of whoever comes in contact with it. Alan Wake is trapped in its depths, Alan Wake 2 Download PC his fears and his stories manifesting as reality around him. It’s highly probable this software program is malicious or contains unwanted bundled software. All that's from the latest Kinda Funny newscast, in which Lake spends a lot of time sitting there glassy-eyed while his professional input is sought on such topics as Embracer's possible Gearbox sale and various Spider-Man 2 screenshots.

The version of the system that I used for this preview was, unfortunately, a little clunky. The interface and UI prompts were slightly unintuitive, and occasionally I found that evidence wouldn’t fit where it logically should do, forcing me to just try every option until the clue stuck. It wasn’t particularly satisfying, but before I left the studio, Remedy was already using my feedback to fine-tune the case board. Saga does not automatically make sense of these clues; instead, they must be deciphered in the Mind Place, a mental representation of an FBI office in Saga’s head.

Casey wears the face of Remedy’s own creative director, Sam Lake, who dusts off a familiar paisley-patterned tie and weathered leather jacket to max effect. The meta levels of Remedy’s unique approach reach winking new highs here as James McCaffrey’s scratchy voice performance transports me back to bullet time ballets once Alan Wake 2 Download danced. The passing of the torch from one very different hero to another comes in the form of a common object between the two, however, as the cold metal of a revolver feels more like a warm friend. The game released its first CG trailer during the 2021 Game Awards, and provided fans a sneak peek of what's to come.

More details about its story will come out in 2022 as it gears up for its official release.

When Alan Wake 2 pc download the first Alan Wake game was released back in 2010, it garnered critical acclaim from both players and reviewers alike. Many praised its tight pacing and compelling storytelling that pulled you in deeper into its narrative.

From here you can enter Alan's writer's room, a sort of 3D menu that manifests as a log cabin complete with a typewriter and a chalkboard ready to be filled with ideas. It’s on that board that you can recap what has been learned so far, and — more crucially — decide where the story goes next. As Alan descends deeper into the tunnels below Where i Can Download Alan Wake 2 the city, he is able to remix and rewrite certain locations to give different contexts to objects in the world. If the glimpses of gameplay we've seen from the Saga side look more inspired by the original Alan Wake and recent Resident Evil remakes, this Dark Place mission seems to owe much more to the warping weirdness of Control.

The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on October 27, 2023. From the hard-boiled police files of Max Payne to the New Weird foundations of Control, movies, TV shows, and books have long served as inspiration. This is no different in Alan Wake 2, which blends horror and detective fiction in creatively unsettling ways. We Alan Wake 2 pc download talked to Remedy to find out why these genres work so well together, discuss some of the game’s cultural touchstones, and how they bleed their way into the survival horror story, characters, and gameplay. The most notable change coming to Alan Wake II is that it will be a survival horror experience compared to its predecessor's more action-oriented gameplay.

But with DLSS 3.5’s Ray Reconstruction technology, each fence appears stable no matter how much light is illuminating the thinnest of its meshes. Portal with RTX is our fully ray-traced reimagining of Valve’s classic game, featuring stunning path-traced visuals, the latest performance-accelerating NVIDIA technologies, and NVIDIA DLSS 3, which multiplied performance by 3X.

Become V, a cyberpunk for hire, and dive deep into a tangled web of espionage and political intrigue, unraveling a story that connects the highest echelons of power with the brutal world of black-market mercenaries. Remedy Entertainment operates at the cutting edge of technology, constantly creating the most immersive and advanced games of each generation. 2019’s Control was one of the first ray-traced and DLSS-enhanced games, and to this day remains a stunning title that demonstrates the advanced capabilities of the PC platform.

Quantum Break’s Shawn Ashmore even pops us as somebody called Tim Breaker, a mysterious man in a police uniform looking to help Alan. Alan Wake 2 is coming to PlayStation 5, Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store), and Xbox Series X in 2023, and will Alan Wake 2 pc download be published by Epic Games.

Thank u so much hope I won’t sound like a bad person cause I believe I am not🫶🏼

Well you can judge me because I have been judging myself since May cause that’s when I decided to stop it. In 2022 february a guy who was not anonymous sent me a text. He said he’d been following me for over 3-4 years I can’t remember now. Then I said I don’t want to talk to him we just chatted for about 5-6 minutes then said have a nice day and that was about it. I was anonymous by the way and had no intention to talk to him back then. Then he kept sending me texts cute ones he wasn’t trying to get me answer them he was just speaking on his own there sending me voice notes telling me about his day. Then we started talking again in October. He’s the cutest guy I have ever spoken to. Anyways, we were living in the same city but I said I live in X place rather than telling him the truth. He wanted to meet me but. I didn’t want to and by the way he’d never seen my face to this day. I said ok I will meet you Then I sent him a picture of a random girl (I got her permission) because I was sure 100% he wouldn’t like me Because I’m not beautiful. Then we said let’s have a date at his city (my city too but he didn’t know and we were to meet at this pub he always goes to)I went to this place and met him without telling him I was that girl and chatted to him for a while and he said he was waiting for another girl. Then I went home and he thought he never met me. I talked to him that night and he told me about the girl he saw that day and said she was an ugly girl and laughed (sent me a voicenote) and said he really wants to see me so bad said he was in love with me. Then I told him I won’t be able to meet him and I changed my mind in April. Then I learned he had been speaking to another girl since February 2023 and now he’s been in a relationship with that girl since then. I feel so weird since that day I have never been so sad in my life and I still am. He obviously wouldn’t want to see me again if I had told him that the girl he had been speaking to was me. I haven’t told this to anyone. The worst part was I really liked him. Wish he would be able to say I met a girl today and she was nice (not ugly btw he called me -the girl he met- names) I am still so confused and sad over everything I have gone through. I only sent him one photo and the girls face wasn’t even that visible and other than that everything I told him was true but he didn’t like my real face and body.

oh babe, you should’ve just been yourself, if he doesn’t appreciate you for you regardless of what you look like, after all, he was talking to you without even seeing what you looked like. i think for his own piece of mind you need to tell him the truth because despite what he said about you, he still needs to know what you did. he’s not going to like it but that’s understandable because you’ve lied to him this whole time. if you love him like you say you need to tell him and let him process that. imagine if he sees the girl you used in person and confronted her, he’d hear it all from someone else rather than you and that’ll make it 10x worse

regardless of what he said about you, you aren’t the victim in this situation, he is and you need to take that into consideration 🫶🏼
