I have finished finally finished the first 10 episodes of Ninjago Dragons Rising season 2. Wow. I’ve never been into Ninjago for the lore, only for the jaya, but now the lore is calling to me.
My thoughts on DR Season 2:
Nya being the only one to snap out of the weird energy draining plant of despair because the thought of Jay forgetting her is inconceivable. 💀💀💀
And then we find out that it was the “Test of Fears”. Does this mean Nya secretly fears Jay forgetting her and falling out of love with her?
We are not ready for the upcoming jaya angst.
The concept of the source dragons is awesome. I like that they have unique titles such as life motion, strength, energy, and we have yet to find out the names of the other three.Some people are theorizing that the core dragon of strength is Raz’s master, but I think that’s too on the nose and doesn’t quite fit with all the information we’ve learned so far. 
The next gen of ninja are really starting to grow on me. I wasn’t that excited about them during season one, however, season two has allowed their personalities to shine, and I’m excited about all of their character arcs. 
Bonzel is a spell. Interesting. Season two is diving into both high-tech and theoretical physics/science, but also the occult. I love the “her?” joke about Jordana (Arrested Development reference ICU) but also, she is gifted in both tech and magic. Laugh all you want about everyone forgetting her name but she is very powerful. 
But back to Bonzel, who turned out to be the MVP of these first 10 episodes of season two, the fact that she was a spell that became sentient is giving me sci-fi A.I. vibes. Kai might have been sacrificed for a forbidden five member, but Bonzel is the one who closed the portal and is now with Kai, therefore the variables have changed. We don’t have to wait for another blood moon for the portal to be opened. Plus Jordana got possessed by either a fragment of the portal or one of the forbidden five.
Here’s my prediction for the next 10 episodes: the most entertaining outcome is the most likely. How does Bonzel and Kai escape the nether purgatory? Obviously they’re not gonna wait for another millennia or two for the next blood moon. Somehow the portal will be opened again so they can extract Kai and Bonzel. And who else has all powerful portal technology? The Administration. Bonzel is now an accessory to the capture of Zane. The funniest way to extract Bonzel from this purgatory is for the Administration to apprehend her. 🤷‍♀️
Speaking of the Administration, who is excited for more than 33 seconds of Jay on screen? We found out some juicy details. He knows his name is Jay Walker. He knows he can control lightning and we know now that he hates his job and is just there for the paycheck (I can relate). 
This makes Jay joining Raz’s team, if it is even him, more interesting. Maybe he leaves the Administration because Raz offers him a better job or maybe he gets an invite to the tournament of source dragons and is a neutral party. I’m excited to see the second half of season two because it’s not as predictable as we once thought it was. 
But if Jay does end up joining Raz’s team, I’m excited for the jaya angst. If you’re never fantasized about hatefucking a sexy member of the supervillain group that hates you, have you even lived?
Tell me your thoughts and theories on next the ten episodes of season 2.
Unrelated: On April 8th CERN is turning back on the large hadron collider, same day as the total solar eclipse.

today, me and my sibling made death battle machines and pitted them against each other. the one with the ninjas piloting is called “wu’s team building exercise” and the one with the flaming tit on top is called “diarrhea johnson’s freedom-licious nutbuster 3000”.
diarrhea johnson’s machine can only go in one direction [circle] and wu’s teambuilding exercise can only go in every direction all at once. it has 11 wheels and 6 joints/swivels for maximum teamwork difficulty. kai is in charge of main steering from his post on top of the double-decker couch, and due to an error in lower-couch capacity calculations, the secondary steering mechanism had to be moved to the very front of the vehicle last-minute, but lloyd is braving it like a champ. cole is on back right steering and zane mirrors him with back left steering. wu’s job is to hold The Skull.
in the end, diarrhea johnson won with only a single illegal nuclear rocket booster knocked off from the impact, and wu’s team building exercise was broken into 4 pieces. among the detached was the expresso machine/main and only engine in the back that jay was put in charge of constant monitoring, as well as the emergency shut down explosion button [and only form of breaks] on the very back of the vehicle. lloyd was flung across the floor and hit the dishwasher head on. he is still in the ICU. however, when the illegal nuclear rocket booster was knocked off of mr johnson’s vehicle, it also set off a nuclear explosion and rendered everywhere within a 100 mile radius an instant-death zone. diarrhea johnson did not survive. however, we concluded that the ninja are probably fine, because they are only glowing green, and as everyone knows, lloyd’s power glows green, so nothing is out of the ordinary. 
perhaps most impressive of all is that The Skull was not once knocked from wu’s hand. truly a legendary battle was had today, but i think the true hero here does not lie in the winner - but in each of us.

I actually sold it for 116,000 but the home inspector knocked us back 10,000$ because he said he wasn’t going to let us inflate our home that much in under a year. I learned the hard way there cause I had to pay income taxes on my profit as well because I wasn’t in my home longer that 2 years. And I had to pay that 5 thousand dollar debt with 12 hours notice otherwise my wife was going to lose her job at the irs. One night after about my 2 nd year as an electrician I was hanging out with my best friend LJ wardley we were barbecuing and drinking strong vodka drinks and mickeys beer and blowing on some strong. When Lj got the dog toy hung up in a tree and instead of just letting it go lj and I decided to climb the tree to retrieve the toy. This is when my wife told me not to be stupid and I would get hurt if I climbed the tree. I grew up climbing trees shit I could climb this tree blindfolded. Nope she was right O got up about 12 feet and grabbed a dead branch and slid off this tree. While in free fall I had a great idea. I’ll just point my toes for the ground and when I touch I’ll just roll into it and come out like some ninja. Wearing sandals I pointed my toes and instead of rolling into the fall my foot decided to roll backwards. Instantly the size of a pro football the pain was intense enough to make me feel sober. At first I was going to have lj try and set the bone that’s when I realized this wasn’t one bone. My wife was furious cause now she was drunk driving her drunk husband to the hospital and if I would have just listened to her….. once we got to the ER the XRays were so impressive that the nurse stuck me in the ass with a syringe and I said what was that? Having medical knowledge I knew alcohol and pain meds don’t mix. I said Mam I told you I’ve been drinking and she said shit well let’s get you to your car cause I have you a double dose of Demerol cause it looks like it hurts. I remember feeling really hot once we got out the front doors and the next thing I remember I’m waking up in the ICU with a fucked up foot and I had to take a shit really bad. I looked around and the closest bathroom was across the hall and I didn’t want one of the cute nurses to help me so I hopped to the bathroom holy shit that was a painful trip to the toilette. My metatarsals were all broken at the head that meets the toes and 4 of the five toes knuckle joint was broke in half and behind that 4 shafts of the metatarsals were crushed more breaks than I can count. It really was an impressive break in fact there was only one other crushing injury like mine I n the country that year and the other guy had a concrete barrier dropped on his foot working on the freeway. Lots of podiatrist had thier opinions and all wanted to hear the story behind the crazy x rays but it took me 6 weeks to find a podiatrist surgeon willing to take on the mess that was my foot. Everyone was afraid of malpractice suits because there was no clear cut way how to fix this shitty situation. Finally I found dr Bruce at McKay Dee hospital and it was decided that they would drive 6” stainless steel pins thru the bottom of my foot with an air gun of some sort then they would soft cast it so I could do the wound care necessary to heal and scheduled surgury. When I woke up from this surgury it was like stepping out of heaven and strait into the fires of hell. Even with the nerve block and all the lidocaine they could pump into me my pain level on a scale from one to ten was fuck you bitch give me something to knock me the fuck out. I had to lie about my pain level just so I could get to my vehicle and take a fistful of lortab once I got to my house and the lidocaine wore off it was agonizing pain to the point of me desperately crying for god to stop the pain. My wife still pist off at me for falling wouldn’t even stay by me I ended up having to have my mother come and pick me up to care for me. The doctors told me to pull a drain line but under no circumstances was I to unwrap the foot so 3 days later

Just A Small Glitch In His Code chapter 2 is up!!!!! Chapter one is here, and chapter 2 is also readable below
Dragging Zane’s body back down to the ninja base was easier than she initially thought. Titanium is surprisingly light, and being a nindroid herself gave Pixal the perk of being quite a bit stronger than most humans (all, other than perhaps Cole).
The biggest risk was Wu, the only person at the monastery right now. Soon Lloyd too, but he shouldn’t get back from his new job for another 45 minutes or so, she thought. Pixal didn’t particularly feel like explaining herself to either of them right now.
Thankfully Wu had also been incredibly distant, he’d been like that since the ninja started going on missions without him more often, Lloyd said that he said he’d been feeling his age. Nya’s sacrifice seemed to amplify this within him, maybe there’s only so many people one man can lose in his life without losing his mind a little, and although Pixal wasn’t 100% sure about his age (and she thought it was quite rude of them to create the concept of time so recently that it prevented her from knowing, and she often wondered how anyone managed to be punctual before then) she knew he was over a millenia old, and understood that he therefore lost a millenia’s worth of generations of friends and family, and made a millenia’s worth of mistakes. Perhaps all that grief and regret was finally taking its toll.
He spent most of his time in his library or out in the courtyard, sipping tea, which she had recently noted that more often he actually had to go to the kitchen and make the tea, she remembered Kai Lloyd and Jay previously joking about how the tea seemed to materialise in his hand if nobody was looking. They’d never discussed it, but she believed it was his element of creation, she wondered if his powers were fading away along with the team.
Sometimes he’d have a scroll in-hand. She noticed that when he was reading, his eyes never moved, he’d just stare blankly at it, lost in thought. That was if he actually remembered to unroll it (which wasn’t always the case). Today was one of those days, he had a scroll by his side but instead of reading he was staring intently into his tea. Pixal was certain he wouldn’t notice her dragging Zane’s unconscious body around the monastery, but just to be safe, she switched to carrying him over her shoulder fireman-style to avoid the noise of metal scraping against the wooden floors.
The two nindroids made it to the elevator and she set him down as gently as she could, with another small clank. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for him lying there on the way down, and silly for doing this to him. It was all beginning to hit her that she truly knocked her boyfriend unconscious because she wanted to look through his code. He is another person she really didn’t want to have to explain her thought process to in this situation, especially if there’s nothing visibly wrong she finds in his code.
The doors opened and she carried him bridal-style over to the table she and Zane would often lay on for repairs and whispered a quick “sorry” to him as she began to plug cables in all over him until he looked something quite like an icu patient.
She walked over to the many monitors, firstly setting a general diagnostics on Zane, then moving to another to lock the elevator so nobody else came down, it was unlikely but just in case Wu or even Lloyd came looking for them.
She paused, wondering if she was being secretive for nothing, perhaps they had noticed this in Zane too and would also like to see if there was anything that could be done. That would have to come later, if she did actually find anything. She kept it locked, and moved her focus back to the monitor running diagnostics on Zane.
And there it was, flashing red on her screen.
“Malware detected: automatic antivirus systems activated”
Pixal took a few steps back, completely and utterly speechless. It was then that she realised she had not expected to be right about there being anything other than Zane’s grief playing a role in this. At most she expected to find Zane’s missing memories in a hidden file somewhere, absolutely not this. She was glad she ran a diagnostics on him, but what now?
Why had Zane not detected this virus and told someone? He had been meticulous in making his software protection systems second-to-none. This must be some top-notch virus, she thought, and decided to look at this code more closely. She clicked ‘view in html’ and oh by the First Spinjitzu Master-
She knew that code.
Oh how it sent chills through her.
Overlord code.

Fever Dreams
NOTE: Sorry guys for the delay but work kept me from having free time but I was able to come up with this. someone requested a sick baby Danvers getting a fever after some stressful event and then being taken care by her sisters. Hope you like it, I now figured out I cannot do small stories or prompts. I kept writing until I saw the number of pages lol anyways, enjoy. 
word count: 5937
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You were discussing some ideas with your boss, Regina, she laughs at something you said when suddenly she received a call. She holds up her hand signaling for you to wait for a moment so she can take the call.
Regina: “yes? , yes she is here. Oh, I see. Yes, I understand. Ok, I’m sending her downstairs right away. No thanks are needed.” - her smile fell and started at you with sorrow in her eyes.  She walks to you and holds your hands looking straight into your eyes-
 Y/n; “was that about me?” - you asked afraid of the answer.
 Regina: “ y/n I need you to listen and don’t panic. There was a situation involving your sisters. I don’t know the details, but you are needed downstairs. Lena Luthor is here for you; you need to go with her. Don’t worry about work, please take off the time you need and don’t forget that whatever you need I’m here for you”
 At the mention of situation involving your sisters, you pale and basically ran from your boss’s office to the reception area where Lena Luthor was already waiting for you, her face hard and imposing. Not really reflecting any emotion. So, you couldn’t really get how bad the situation was.
 Y/n: “please tell me they’re are okay?” - you tear up not knowing what to expect.
 Lena grabs ahold of you and hugs you hard and in very calm and soft voice for only you able to hear says: “they’re alive. They were taken to the DEO. Their condition is unknown, I came for you as soon as I found out. Come on sweet girl. We need to go”
 You just nod and let Lena drag you into her car. Your mind and heart running a hounded miles per hour thinking of all worst-case scenarios possible. You are even dreading one them is dead or worse both and you are not being told the truth. You feel your anxiety rise and your hands are a tremble mess.
Lena notices but when you look at her, you schooled your emotions and try to look detached from your thoughts, you need to be strong for your sisters. You need to focus on them, and you can’t let Lena or anyone else worry over you on top of everything. So, you just swallow and bottle everything up.
 Y/n: “I’m okay Lena, I just need to see them” - you say in a monotonous tone and hold your hands in your lap.
 Lena: “I’m worry too sweetheart. But we are almost there” - she gives your arm a  gentle squeeze and turns to look at her phone. You know she must be running all possible scenarios and outcomes in her head; Lena is a very analytical person. You take a deep breath and try to comfort her; Lena needs you too.
 Y/n: “you know we are talking about the two most stubborn and powerful women we know. They are highly trained and one of them is basically indestructible. And the other is pretty much a ninja” - you give Lena a warm smile and you can see a hint of a smile on her and you grab her hand in yours.
 You both arrive at the DEO and you are immediately received by Jon and lets you know what happened and the current condition of both Danvers sisters.
 The mission was compromised, and Alex was taken out of the location unconscious, blood in the back of her head, a contusion and is currently in the intensive care unit because they are monitoring her heart. The worse of the attack was inflicted upon Kara. Somehow the unsubs got ahold of green Kryptonite lined spears and Kara was hit with 6 of them. She lost a lot of blood and she was currently in a coma due to the severity of the injuries and blood loss.
 Lena asked to be able to see Kara and foresee the blood transfusion with the blood the DEO was able to get from Kara previously and she kept guarded in her lab for situations such as this.
 You let her, not quite ready prepare to see Kara in such state. You also didn’t want Alex alone, so you asked to be taken to her.  They were in different areas for their treatments and would take a while before they could be placed in the same room.
 You are now siting next to Alex in the ICU, she has some bruises and cuts littering her arms and face. A bandage on the back of her head, she looks peacefully asleep. However, there’s a bunch of wires and tubes everywhere and they are keeping close watch on her heart rate and they have her under sedation. After a while of you holding your big sister hand, the door opens, and you can see Lena on the other side. you walk out of the ICU room to speak with her. She gives you a rundown of the status with Kara, and asks you if you want to see her while she stays with Alex. You nod and walk to your blonde superhero sister medical room. You steel yourself, prepare for what you are about to see and make sure you don’t show any anxiety or discomfort you sister can pick up on. They need to focus on healing, no worrying on their baby sister. You again put on a brave face and keep walking.
 When you enter the medical wing where they have the sunlamps installed, you are face with the vision of your powerful and bubbly blonde sister, she looks so still and small in the bed, she is covered with a white blanket but you can definitely  see bruises on her, bruises!!! She never bruises. She looks so pale, and there’s a bag of blood next to her arm, the transfusion they mentioned before. And you take a shuddering breath and walks further into the room, you place a gentle kiss on her forehead and sit next to her. You take her hand in yours, and you note she feels cold and she is never cold. She is quite the opposite; she is a furnace all the time. But her hands are cold, and she looks pale and she has bruises and cuts on her arms. You feel so sad and lost, she is supposed to be almost indestructible and somehow someone made sure to have available the one thing that could bring Supergirl to her knees, to hurt her …to kill her.
 You push your worries and anxiety away and try to calm and look this the positive way, they are here. They are both alive and they will recover from this. You stay with Kara for a long time, you are not sure how long, but after a while you are being asked to step out so they can check on Kara and move Alex from the ICU to Kara’s medical room.
 For the next two days you stay strong, keep a brave face and make sure to leave and get food and coffee for Lena and the team taking care of your sisters. You need to feel useful, make sure you don’t crumble under pressure and anxiety at looking at your sisters so beaten up. Alex woke up after 12 hours and she was very out of it for the concussion and looked terribly exhausted. Kara was doing better the sunlamps working their magic, but she did end up blowing off her powers and she was healing slower than usual, but on the mend. she was mostly recovered after 36 hours but was kept at the DEO anyways.
 You walk into one of the labs Lena is working on some samples to bring her lunch. She’s been working nonstop on getting a suit or artifact to make sure Kara never gets affected by kryptonite like this again. She has her tablet on her hand and looks furious.
 y/n: “knock knock… hi Lena, here I brought you lunch., I noticed you haven’t left this place so here. Salad, a chicken wrap and iced tea. Healthy enough right?”
 Lena changes her demeanor instantly and covers her tablet, facedown on the table.
 Lena: “Hi sweetie, you’re a Gods send, no I haven’t eaten so I’m starving. Thank you so much.” – she is about to dig into her food when there’s a phone call to one of the phones in the lab. She perks up immediately.
 Kara: “Kara woke up from her nap, do you mind if I go and say hello?  and then you can stay with her ill come back and eat lunch and you can have yours with Kara”
Y/n: “Of course, I don’t mind your dork, Ill stay here while you say hello and then we will switch spots.”
 Lena almost runs into the med bay to see Kara and she forgets to lock and take the tablet with her. You notice the tablet and got curious, whatever Lena was watching seemed to make her very mad, so you decided to be nosy and took the tablet. It was a video, you hit play and what you see is the worst things you could’ve witness.
 Is the footage from the mission, you can see how Kara is getting attacked by the spears, embedding into her skin like butter. She shouldn’t be hurt that easily and you see your sister bleed from different spots. Then there’s movement and lots of people getting hurt and all of sudden Alex and Jon run into the place Kara is kneeling and bleeding. Jon is now trying to control de attacker, Alex notices something and her eyes go wide with worry and gets in between whatever she is seeing and Kara. A sort of electric wave or shock hits Alex and she becomes airborne and then hits the floor hard, she is now unconscious on the floor. You can hear the most painful and devastating scream coming out of Kara, who is desperately trying to move to get to Alex the best she can with kryptonite om her body. She Is screaming Alex’s name and what follows makes your blood run cold.
[[Kara (voice from the video) “ Nooo  Alex!!! Jon help her heart just stopped!”-Jon finishes to subdue the enemy and runs towards Alex and you cant look away from the footage. Jon is shouting orders and he is doing CPR and Alex. Some agent runs with a black box and looks to be a defibrillator and they began to work on getting Alex back. She is basically dead; she has no heartbeat. They shock her 4 times before you can see Jon’s shoulders sag with relief and then Kara goes limp next to Alex. ]]
 You stop the video and lock the tablet. You have tears running down your cheeks, what you saw its just awful, you know your sisters are okay now, but they could’ve been killed, and they barely made it out there with their lives this time. how many times has this happened before? Are they always getting hurt like this? Would they die eventually on missions? Many scenarios began to pop up In your mind and how any day now you could lose them and become completely alone in the world. They are everything to you and now you just saw how bad things can get for them. You can breathe you feel like all air is leaving your lungs. So, you run, you don’t want for Kara or Alex finding out your saw that or that you need help, they don’t need to be looking out for you. You run to a led lined room and try to control your panic attack. You fall to the ground and pull your legs up towards your chest and try to control your breathing, you force yourself to steady your heart rate. You must control it; you need to shove it inside deep inside and don’t let it show. For them, you need to keep this from them.  After a very long time you feel yourself drifting out from exhaustion and then you sit there alone until you can feel more normal.  
 You find a restroom and clean your face and then you look at your reflection, you look haunted and exhausted. You wash your face and try to compose yourselves. You leave the room and then you see Lena walking towards you.
 Lena: “There you are! I’ve been trying to find you for almost an hour. Are you okay? Are you sick or hurt?” - Lena is looking at you from head to toes trying to see what’s wrong. You need to control it.
 y/n: “I’m fine Lena. I was waiting for you, but I was starting to get sleepy, so I just left to walk it off for a bit and clear my head. I guess time slipped from me”
 Lena didn’t press much, but you could see she didn’t buy it completely she looked suspicious of you but let it slide for now “Ok, that’s okay. Kara and Alex have been asking for you. Why don’t you go see them? They will be able to go home tomorrow”
 Y/N: “Yeah totally I’m om my way and finally and can’t wait to have them home. Are you coming or what?”
 You and Lena spend the afternoon with the Danvers sisters and Alex noticed something was off with you, so you tried to deflect and avoid getting any attention from them, they needed to focus on themselves. Not you.
 Alex: “Kiddo you look tire why don’t you just jump in bed with me and sleep for a while? Come on!”- the red head pats the bed next to her and you want it so bad, to lay there and be comforted by your sister but you can’t. You need to show them you are strong and can be the one looking out for them this time.
 y/n:”I’m not tired Alex, I’m okay. Do you need anything water, food or a snack?”
 Kara: “Sweet girl stop, we are good. But you do look a bit run down. You been here for days and you haven’t slept or eaten enough. Just rest for a little; if not with Alex come on, you can sleep with me, Please? I really could use on of your certified hugs? - Kara gives you the best puppy eyes she can muster.
 Alex “Hey, I asked first, and I want a hug too” – she pouts
 You chuckle at her antics and you can see Lena looks quite suspicious of you and is looking more at you than any of the remaining Danvers in the room. So you walk to Alex and  give her a hug and a kiss “I love you, but I will lay down with Kara because you still have burnt marks on your chest and I don’t want to hurt you”
Alex just pouts but she doesn’t really care about who you end up crashing on, she just wants you to rest and sleep for a while. So, you comply. Besides you lied, because you know Kara is always running hot, she hardly notices when you are running a fever and you can feel yourself getting a headache and you do feel a bit warm. But you think is just stress and if you sleep for a while it will go away.
 Kara opens her arms and smiles broadly “Come on little one, jump in and give me some sugar”
 You walk to Kara and get comfortable next to her and you inhale her scent, you can always find comfort in their smell and their touch. You let yourself drift off and then, you’re out like a light. You might be more tired than you pretended no to be.
 The room becomes silent for a few minutes.
 Alex: “Is she out?” - she asks Kara who nods in approval.
 Kara is running her fingers through y/n hair and Lena walks towards Kara and y/n.
 Lena: “She is out. Something is off with her. She’s been extremely quiet, not in a bad way but like she seems to be trying to avoid breaking down or look too preoccupied. She took into herself to run food and drink errands for everyone, trying to keep busy at all times. Even when she was siting with any of you, she would look a little detached.”  
 Alex: “she is deflecting, and she does looks exhausted. Poor thing. I bet it was awful on her getting both her sister hurt. She needs to rest too, and we will make that happened”
 Kara just hums in approval; she is too preoccupied looking down at y/n running her fingers through her hair and hummin softly a song. Lena just keeps watching Kara make soothing strokes on y/n.
 Lena: “well, I leave for now to make sure the fridge is stocked up and have your beds ready with fresh sheets. Alex, Kara and I think its better if you stay at Kara’s and Y/N for a few days.  y/n said you can have her room, I will stay with Kara and even tough y/n said she was taking the couch, she is most likely than not be using  you as her human teddy bear and sleep with you”
 Alex: “ yeah, I guess that’s the best. I want to keep a close eye on y/n. make sure she really is okay. And she will feel better if she has us around for the next couple of days”
 Y/n moves in her sleep and scrunches up her face in disapproval of the noises in the room.
 Kara just hums and keeps the soothing patterns “Shh sleep little one. You’re okay”
 Lena whispers “Ok I’m leaving I’ll be back in the morning to take you all home” – she then gives Kara a sweet kiss on her lips and runs down gently her fingers on y/n temple. –“Sleep good sweet girl”
 Kara “Good night baby. See you in the morning”
 Alex: “Good night Lena, thank you for everything. See you in the morning”
 Lena: “None needed Alex, it’s my pleasure besides who kept everyone motivated and going was here our sweet y/n. She deserves the credit for keeping us sane and fed.  Now she deserves a good night rest”
 Alex and Kara nod and say goodbye and continue to watch over y/n during the night. In the morning Lena arrives early so they all can leave. But she is concerns when she sees that y/n still asleep.
 Kara: “good morning my love. We are ready. I´ll carry the goober here I have pretty much all my strength back so I’m good to go. She woke up a little while ago to eat some fruit and a jell-O. But she pretty much passed out after that. She is completely exhausted”
 Kara is now wearing pants and looks like she just took a shower. y/n is passed out on the hospital bed slightly snoring next to Kara.
 Alex walks into the room also wearing DEO issued pants and carrying a small bag. “I’m ready to go”
 They all arrive at the Danvers apartment and settle down for the day. Kara carries y/n to her own room to let Alex in y/n room rest for a while. Being human she is not at 100% like she is. Lena and Kara end up in the kitchen deciding on lunch and Alex is now napping for a little bit as well.
 A little while after Kara walks into her room to check on y/n, she is still asleep which is now a bit worrisome.
 Kara: “y/n baby. Wake up. Come on, just wake up for a little bit to eat something”
 You began to stir in bed and give a cute yawn and waking up a bit more. You feel a headache and you don’t feel so good. But you remember what happened and notice you are in your sister room. You bolt upright.
 y/n: “what happened? what time is it? Why I’m I in your room?- you look frantic.
 Kara: “Calm down kiddo. We’re home. You were so tired, so we just let you sleep for a while. I brought you here to let you rest more.  And Alex took your room. Are you hungry?”
 y/n: “ohh ok, I guess I was more than tired than I thought. Yeah, I could eat”
 You walk to the kitchen next to Kara and you see Lena there platting some food.
 Lena “Hi there sleepy head, feeling better?” – Lena approaches you and gives you a peck on your cheek.
 Lena frowns at the warm feeling on your cheek and touches your forehead and cheeks with her hands.
 Lena: “Sweetie you feeling okay? You are a bit warm and your cheeks look a bit flush”
 Y/n: “I’m good, just tired. I think I’ll grab a bite and sleep some more”- you sit on one of the chairs at the counter and slump yourself on the table.
 Kara looks worried at you and she then looks back at Lena. “how warm, should I bring the thermometer?”
 You just grunt- “No Kara, I’m fine I just need food and more sleep. I’m okay no need to worry. You and Alex are the ones that were attacked and are recovering. I’m just sleep deprived”
 Kara: “y/n, don’t lie to me baby girl. Or I will go and get Alex to make sure you are really okay”
 y/n: “NO!!!, don’t bother her with this. Let her sleep, she needs it. I’m fine but if it does make you feel better bring the thermometer but just let Alex sleep”
 Lena and Kara look at you, confuse at your outburst. You seem to be a little on edge.
 Alex: “No need to worry about me sleeping. I’m up. What’s this all about?”
 Lena: “y/n feels a Little too warm and she seems tense”
 You give Lena a dirty look – “No I’m not, and I’m FINE. I just need more sleep to feel better and that’s all”
 Alex approaches you and feels your forehead and cheeks. She also puts her lips to your forehead, and you sigh in appreciation of having your sister near you. You rest your forehead on her shoulder and Alex just hold your near her.
 Alex: “You are a little warm, but nothing too bad. I’m giving you Tylenol for the headache and mild fever. Just eat something first”. - she hugs you for a little bit more and kisses your head and sits down next to you.
 After lunch Alex gave you Tylenol and the four of you ended up in the living room watching a movie. You avoided mentioning anything in regard the attack and the injuries your sisters sustain no wanted to let them know you saw what really happened to them. However, the movie you were all watching, was a Sci-Fi movie. Alex and Lena making remarks on how bad and unreal the effects were and you felt yourself tense at the images. There was one in particular, where a laser beam was aimed towards someone and you could see Alex being hit and then lying down on the ground dead. You couldn’t keep watching that it was all too raw. You could feel the anxiety and stress of those couple of days and you just turn into Alex to hold her close and hide your face in her neck, not wanting to keep watching or listening to the movie.
Lena noticed your demeanor change as well as your sisters. Kara got back her powers and could feel your heart rate increased and she paused the movie.
 Kara: “You okay little one?”- she asks but you just shrug and hide further into Alex.
 Alex is combing her fingers through your hair, but you nudge a bit to hard and you can feel Alex stiff a little and hiss in pain. You accidentally touched one of the burn marks on her chest.  You sit up and release your hold on Alex.
 You have tears in your eyes and feel so bad for hurting Alex: “I’m So sorry Alex. I, …I forgot you were still healing I didn’t mean it. I’m just tired.  I think I´ll just go to sleep; I don’t feel like watching the movie anymore. I’ll get the air mattress so you can still watch the movie or whatever you want. And whenever you are ready you can take the bed Alex. Good night” - you rambled nonstop and try to leave as fast as you can, but Alex grabs you by your waist and pulls you into her and prevent from you to run way.
 Alex: “hey hey none of that, you didn’t hurt me. It was an accident and I’m okay. Please calm down for a bit, take a deep breath. That’s it, deep breaths.” Alex holds you near and rubs up and down you back in a soothing way – “Don’t shut us out. You don’t have to pretend that what happened didn’t affected you and to be strong for us. We are okay, we are here with you and I know see us like that wasn’t easy for you. We know the risks but it’s different for you. So please let us in.”
 And that’s too much for you to handle and you just break down completely all the fears and anxiety you been building up for days now comes out through Gut-wrenching sobs that tore through your chest and you cling to Alex like a lifeline. You try to follow Alex’s instructions, but you just can’t, you feel tightening in your throat and you take short intakes of breath.  You starting to feel lightheaded and you faintly can hear her voice and now Kara’s, not sure who’s.
 You feel your legs being swept from under you and you know its Kara strong and caring arms carrying you.
 Alex: “Take her to the bedroom I’m getting her inhaler just keep trying to calm her down a little. Lena can you grab a cold compress and bring it to her room, please” – Alex says in a hurry and everyone moves.
  Kara: “Little one, I know I know please try to take a deep breath”- and you try but you start to cough and try to take a breath, but you keep choking.
 Alex: “I got it, here baby please take a puff” – you feel the inhaler being pressed to your mouth and try to get in the medication. You fail the first time and choke on air. “That’s Okay sweetie try again, here we go, breath in…” – this time you can get the medication in and you give rest to your burring lungs. A second time and you feel like you can breathe again.
 Kara: “that’s it little one, slow but deep breaths. Just like that” – Kara soothing voices echoes through your head as well as Alex’s.  You feel something cold being pressed to the back of your neck and forehead.
 You feel the relief of been able to breathe properly and you began to calm down a bit. Your sobs turn into sniffling and you are limp against Kara. But then you are being moved one more time, you feel a second pair of arms, Alex. Her soft and firm arms are embracing you and you feel more relaxed now. You want to apologize for the outburst, but you feel so very tired you can barely keep your eyelid opens anymore.
 Alex: “go to sleep sweet girl. We are here, you’re not alone and we are not going anywhere okay”
 Kara” Just sleep baby.”- you feel Kara fingers in run through your head and neck. And then you are out like a light.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can see Alex lying on the ground dead, her eyes wide and void. No life in them. Just Gone. And Kara next to her barely alive, you run to her and put her head on your lap. Tears are running down your cheeks and you feel your chin trebling. Kara is so pale and cold; she is barely breathing.  and you can see her eyes are so sad, she knows Alex is gone and now your about to lose Kara too. And then her eyes start to close. And you cant stand that,” Kara no, no, no,no,no please wake up. You can leave me, please hang on wake-up Kara”- but Kara is too weak and tries to give you a small smile “I’m sorry sweet girl…” and she is gone…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y/n: “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!” – You bolt upright screaming and great tremor overtake you. Body wracked with an onslaught of sobs and tears. You try to move and then you feel arms around you.
 Kara runs into the room followed by Lena who notices you are being cradled by Alex and you look to be completely out of out of it. Sweat pouring down your face and body. Your cheeks red and blotchy.
 Alex: “her fever spiked, pass me the thermometer please”
 Lena presses the device to read the temperature on you and when there’s a beep 104°F Everyone’s eyes go wide with worry.
 Alex: “Kara take her to the bathroom; we need to lower her core temperature STAT”  
 You are mumbling incoherent things through choked sobs “No Kara, don’t leave, Alex dead. Please No…” -you keep crying and Kara takes you into the bathroom while Alex works on getting lukewarm water running in the bathtub, she steps inside and signals to Kara to lower you on her lap. You sister stripped you down to your underwear. You feel water on your body, and it feels like icy pricks all over and you try to move and scape the cold, but you can’t. you are being held down.
 Alex: “y/n baby please calm down; you are going to be fine. I’m here. We need to bring your temperature down” -she keeps holding you and trying to sooth you while Kara keep pouring water down your head, back, neck and arms. You stay in the water for a very long time, you are not sure for how long.
 y/n: “Why did you leave me Alex?” – you mumble softly and hide you face into the crook of her neck, Tears welled from deep inside and coursed down your cheeks.
 Alex and Kara look at loss, obviously they know their sister is hallucinating from the high fever.  
 Lena: “I Noticed something was off since that day at the DEO and I couldn’t find her. I forgot my tablet at the lab, and she was there. I wasn’t sure if she saw the footage but guessing from how she thinks you are dead; I think she took the tablet and watch the video from the mission”
 Alex nods and keeps trying to calm you down and bring down the fever “That’s okay sweet girl, I’m here. I’m here with you, I did not leave you” -she keeps her mantra of soft words and holding you.  “Lena do you have the a FeverAll suppository.?”
 Lena nods.
 Alex: “Okay, Kara I need you to take y/n I’m going to dry myself a little bit. Take her into her room and change her into a clean set of under wear and just gently remove the excess water, don’t dry her completely. That will keep her cool enough. Don’t put any pajamas on her, maybe just a lose tank top.  Lena if you could bring more cold compresses and water or if we have Pedialyte.  And just leave the medication in her night stand I will administrate that in a moment”
 Kara paces you in you bed and Lena walks in setting the things Alex requested on the nigh stand while touching your cheeks and forehead and you feel cooler to the touch. “She feels more cooler now, I’m going to leave the suppository here and the water. I´ll be in your room, so Alex and y/n have a little privacy for her to administrate the medication”
 Kara: “poor baby, she hates those. But they better for her. Ok Love I’ll be there in a bit. I just want to make sure she is okay and comfortable after Alex gets here”
 Lena: “Of course baby. Let me know if you need anything else”- Lena leans down to kiss your forehead and then kisses Kara and leaves the room.
 Alex walks in and checks y/n temp. still a mild fever, but not in comparison to what it was before the bath in lukewarm water.
Alex: “She is definitely cooler now, but I need to administrate the fever reducer suppository. Lower her underwear and Can you move her to lay on her left side please, and just bent her upper leg towards her abdomen?”
 You tense at Alex words; you really don’t like this kind of medication it’s too uncomfortable. You try to move away. Kara keeps you steady.
 Kara: “I know you don’t like them, and you don’t need to be embarrassed, this will help you feel better soon.” – you just looked at her with glazed eyes and sniff, resigned you knew she is right. But still you don’t like it.
 Alex put on a rubber glove and a bit of water-based lubricant on her finger to make things easier for you.
 Alex: “This will be quick I promise sweet girl just relax take a slow deep breath through your mouth”-you feel Alex push your leg a little bit more into your abdomen and Kara holds you still. You take a deep breath and you feel the uncomfortable sensation of the intrusion of a foreign object being pushed into your body that way. Alex is very gentle and does a quick job and waits a moment to prevent the expulsion of the suppository and then removes her glove and goes to wash her hands.
 Kara: “That was all. You did great little onel. Now close your eyes and relax, go back to sleep”
 Alex returns to the room and you are almost asleep on Kara, but when Kara sees Alex walk back into the room she moves you so you can still be lying down on your side but this time near Alex. The red head in turn gathers you in her arms and begins running a hand up and down your spine so you can relax and fall asleep. You feel Kara move from the bed and you tear up.
 Y/n: “Sissy can you stay too? Please, just tonight”- you don’t feel good and now you are definitely not trying to prove anything to anyone, you feel like shit and you want your sisters.
Kara: “Of course I can stay. Just let me go and say goodnight to Lena and I’ll be right back”
y/n: “okay”- you say in small voice and you began to move more into Alex. She holds you near and presses a cold compress to the back of your neck and face.
Alex: “Close your eyes baby, Kara will be right back. We are here and we are not leaving you sweet girl”- she keeps the soothing touches and you start to feel the heaviness of sleep and you are almost asleep when you feel the bed dip and a second touch on your temple.
Kara: “Lena says good night sweet girl and she promised to make chocolate chip pancakes in the morning, Yaaay” – Kara keeps her touch light and you feel her near, but not as close as Alex. They don’t want to overheat your skin and you feel their presence near you to be just perfect and you drifted-off into a dreamless sleep.
note II: all mistakes are mine, its late and I just finish this and post it like that. I need sleep.

ASOOT Timeline: July 2012 (Crisis at the Hospital)
Things gotta get worse before they get better. Also, quick note, since everyone’s favorite ninja maid is literally on the verge of entering the story, how would you like me to refer to her so that I don’t get her mixed up with the other Akane? With the Hajimes it was easy because one of them has a fan-given nickname, but it’s harder in this case. Do let me know!–Timeline Anon
July 12:
Iroha and Jataro have an early-morning heart-to-heart. Jataro still feels scared to take off his mask because of how terribly ugly his mother told him he is. Iroha, in turn, tells Jataro about her own horrible childhood: her family of famous artists locked her in a room so she’d produce great art, never let her leave, stopped all suicide attempts, and gave her beatings if she tried to escape. With Iroha’s encouragement and support, Jataro finally takes off his mask, revealing himself to be a cute child. The two of them (plus Nikei, who shows up briefly to see Jataro’s maskless face) officially become their own little family, and “Big Sis” Iroha promises to make sure that Jataro knows how much he’s loved.
Kokoro continues to be haunted by the guilt of what she did to her daughter. Eventually, she decides to do her best to make things right, and so she pulls Yoruko aside and tells her the story: she married and had a child specifically so that she could study the most primitive emotion. To that end, she isolated her daughter in a laboratory for eight years, put a microchip in her brain, and ran constant experiments on her. This only stopped when her husband ran away with the child. Yoruko tells Kokoro that the fact that she feels regret about what she did makes her a better person than the WOH parents. Kokoro, who has figured out that Yoruko is working with Kasugano, asks for her (and his) help in finding out what happened to her husband and daughter, just so she has closure on them. They check the data from the microchip (which was never removed) and discover that Kokoro’s daughter is alive. Kokoro, with Yoruko’s support, plans to use the signal to find her daughter’s location. She also becomes an ally of Kasugano.
Everyone in the Quantum Crew receives code names based on tarot cards. Hajime is Fool, Sonia is Empress, Gundham is Emperor, Umeko is Sun, Mikan is Lovers, Yoruko is Temperance, and Chiaki is Star.
Kotoko is officially set to be moved to Chiaki’s house within the next few days.
Hiroshi badly beats Masaru into unconsciousness. Iroha witnesses the whole thing, runs away out of fear, and calls 110. Masaru ends up in the ICU with severe injuries, while Hiroshi is arrested for his crime.
Kanata’s phone call with Nagito is interrupted by Hikaru informing her of the situation, and they immediately get to work on performing emergency surgery on Masaru.
Kakeru, who is still trying to get the WOH investigation unblocked, is summoned to the hospital in order to deal with the legal fallout of what happened. He brings Midori with him. Tsurugi is dispatched to the hospital as well.
Hajime hears about the incident from Nikei, who heard about it from Iroha. He briefly blames himself for not acting fast enough before Yoruko gets him to pull himself together.
Nagito directs Mikan to the hospital, where she goes to help Kanata and Hikaru.
Iroha cries in the waiting room of the hospital, where she is comforted by Setsuka. Setsuka tells Tsurugi that Iroha is her little sister, and together, they explain what happened. Iroha blames herself for running away and not helping Masaru when she had the chance. Nikei arrives at the hospital shortly afterwards, and Setsuka claims that he’s her brother. He plans to update his website with the news of Masaru’s hospitalization as soon as he gets home. Both tell Iroha that it’s not her fault and that the best thing they can do is support Masaru, help the other kids, and make sure the terrible parents get what’s coming to them.
Kanata finishes her emergency operation and informs everybody of the results. Masaru is currently stable, but his injuries are very serious, and she’s concerned that he might have suffered some brain damage. Mikan agrees to stay at the hospital and keep helping Kanata, even if it means she won’t be there to help move Kotoko.
As she leaves, Midori decides that when Masaru’s awake, she wants to visit him. She knows what hospitals are like, and she wants him to know that he’s not alone.
Down at police headquarters, Tsurugi interrogates Hiroshi (he’s been given carte blanche for this by his father). Hiroshi refuses to say anything at first, and the interrogation gets pretty nasty, but eventually, Hiroshi talks. He says that Hope’s Peak gives him protection/immunity for as long as Masaru is enrolled there in exchange for the chance to study Masaru’s talent. He doesn’t, however, seem to have any remorse about abusing Masaru, as he claims that Masaru had it coming for being a “troublemaker” and that it’s also Hope’s Peak’s fault for not getting back to him after the Kasugano broadcast. Also, he mentions that a maid came by his house a few days ago. Tsurugi declares that Hiroshi will be detained until his legal hearing, and he makes him sign a confession after punching him in the face a few times. Afterwards, he sends some officers to look for one Akane Taira, who he suspects to be a witness in this case.
The Quantum Crew finds out about Akane’s possible involvement, and Yoruko is reminded of Sora.
//Man, July was an eventful month : P
//Also, perhaps referring to both Akanes by their surnames would work?

To Never Walk Again (Rewrite)
Now with ships flip flopped!
Main ship GreenCircuit (Lloyd x Pixal)
Trigger Warning: Hospital and Machinery description Lloyd is in ICU for this portion it also has mention of wounds made by a Firearm and the locations of said wounds please proceed with caution!!!!
Y'all don't like that other ship, but the supportive partner was a mainstay in OG Story. So swapped that for Big Bro Kai and rare ass never heard of ship, cause yes I do that.
Ninjago is my sandbox I mold AUs to fit inside this Lego world.
This is still a Work in Progress a Teaser
---------------------------------------
Kai walked into Lloyds room, the only sound to greet the Fire Ninja was the monotony of the heart monitor, along with the different tones of beeping of other machines, and finally the hiss of the Ventilator. He sat down and very carefully over Lloyds blanketed chest placed a hand like everyday to remind himself that his little brother was okay; he'd learned what each of the lines on the monitor did. He smiled as he saw the oxygen saturation was a bit low.
"Hey buddy, keep that oxygen up okay? Want to be able to get you off that machine eventually" He said, as if Lloyd was wide awake and not currently completely submerged in a deep coma. He looked back to the monitor and watched it raise a couple of numbers he chuckled "There you go"
He did like he did everyday straighten out Lloyds blankets, then dig into his backpack and pull out the gifts sent to Lloyd wishing for his speedy recovery, one that Little Nelson had sent him was a toy dragon it was a plush replica of Lloyd's elemental dragon. Kai figured Lloyd would get a kick out of that. Then he would sit day in day out till visiting hours were over. Sometimes he'd be joined by others but mostly... it was just him. 
It had been 2 weeks since the incident on the mission. The bullets long since removed, it was a miracle that Lloyd was with them, one of the bullets having gone through his lower back clipping a lung and another to his head. 
Kai stared at the brain activity line, the pulsing beep comforting, Lloyd still had brain activity which they'd all been watching very closely since it was so miraculous he even had brain activity. Kai kept saying Garmadon had said no to Lloyds Grandfather when it came to his son joining him, everyone seemingly agreed with that thought.
Kai settled in just watching eventually his eyes slipped close and he fell asleep lulled by the monotone beeping and hissing.
"Kai?" He semi jolted at his name being called, worried something was wrong his head immediatly whipped to look at Lloyd
"He's fine Kai his vitals remain stable."
Kai then looked up and saw Pixal, he gave a soft smile. She handed him one of the coffees in her hand which Kai gratefully accepted,
"Oh hi Pixal, I wasn't expecting to be joined today."
She pulled up the other chair
"Father knew I was anxious to get up here to be with him, I had so much though to repair after that last mission...especially as one of my optics sustained damage."
Kai hadn't noticed before, but he did now seeing one of her eyes was cracked and grey unlike the identical one that was bright green.

I Hate You, I Love You, Chapter 152
Chapter Summary - Danielle says goodbye to her grandmother and Tom learns more about her from the experience
Previous Chapter
Rating - Mature (some chapters contain smut)
Triggers - references to Tom Hiddleston’s work with the #MeToo Movement. That chapter will be tagged accordingly.
authors Note - I have been working on this for the last 3 years, it is currently 180+ chapters long.  This will be updated daily, so long as I can get time to do so, obviously.
A concertina is like a small accordion.
The Willie Clancy is a huge deal in Irish traditional music and takes place every year in Miltown Malbay, Co Clare.
Bangor is in County Down and contrary to the belief that the Troubles are based solely on religion, they are far more complex than that and are more predominantly based on political beliefs, those who see themselves as part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Unionists) and those who see themselves as Irish (Nationalists). Bangor is 72%, Unionist.
The Falls (in Belfast) and the Bogside (Armagh) are staunchly Nationalist, and I mean 100% nationalist. You would not be harmed these days going to them if you are British or Unionist, you would just not feel in any way welcome.
The Parting Glass, as explained, is a traditional song recently covered by Ed Sheeran.
As an Irish person in Britain, I have to say I have experienced some acts of racism, but I live in a depressed town with high unemployment and little understanding, so it is par for the course.
As D-day for Brexit approaches, a "no deal" scenario keeps cropping up and with no idea what that means for non-national people in Britain, fears like those Danielle references are becoming more worrisome.

Tom sighed and rubbed his hand over his face. He inhaled deeply and looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He was tired but he knew he had to be there for Danielle who was far more tired than he was.
Danielle had flown back from the US from an important meeting with the rest of the Safeguard group and had gone for a shower when her phone rang. Seeing it was an Irish number, Tom answered in case it was important. He took in everything the woman on the phone said on him revealing after that Danielle was in the shower. When she came back downstairs, slightly tired but in good humour, she noted Tom's face immediately and waited worriedly for him to tell her what was to be worried about.
“Tom?”
“When you were in the shower, a hospital called. It's your grandmother.”
That led to them being in the city of Cork where Danielle and a few of her family were waiting for the inevitable. There was little hope for Sheila, she was very much deteriorating in health.
Danielle was exhausted but she continued to be there for whatever member of her mother's family needed her. Tom tried to help but to be honest, there was little he understood of what her aunts said with their strong accents and their tendency to use Irish thrown in a lot of the time.
“Elle, love, you need to get some sleep.” Tom urged, seeing Danielle lean back against the wall, clearly exhausted.
“I will, in a bit.” She sighed.
“Elle, you have not even eaten today.”
“I am fine.”
“You need to eat. I am going to be the stubborn partner and insist you get something to eat.” He smiled.
Danielle huffed a small laugh. “Yes, boss.” She pushed off from the wall to go to the shopping centre across the road to get something to eat when a beeping came from the intensive care unit and a crash team rushed through the halls. Danielle looked at her aunt who walked out of the room looking worried. “She…Danielle, what's this?”
Danielle looked at the paper in her hand. “It's a DNR, a 'do not resuscitate' form. it translates as to leave her to pass away rather than prolong the situation really.” She explained. "It means when she goes downhill, just to make sure she is comfortable and allow her to go peacefully."
Her cousin, a nurse at the hospital walked over to her mother. “Mam…it's really for the best.”
Danielle's aunt inhaled deeply before nodding her head. “Okay.” As the eldest, she had the greatest say, so she signed the page.
Danielle gave a slight nod in agreement with the decision before going to her aunt. “We are just going to get something in the shop, do you need anything?” She smiled.
“You're grand, Danielle, Pet. We'll call you if anything changes.” Her aunt gave a tired smile. “Have you even had some time away from here?”
“Plenty of time for that at a later date. If it's alright, I may go back to the hotel for a shower.”
“Alright, we'll see you later so.” Catherine stated before going to find a doctor to give the form to.
Danielle could barely recall the journey back to the hotel and crashed as soon as she hit the bed. Tom ordered some food and urged her to eat after a while. With a shower to attempt to wake her again, Danielle ate and made her way back to the hospital, deciding to walk the short distance in the nice weather, Tom, who felt she needed more rest walking beside her.
“Are you okay?” He asked as they walked.
“Yeah, I mean, I'm not stupid. She's been going downhill for a while, I just... it's sad. I don't really know my Mam's side of the family so with Nan about to leave us, I feel like I have even less of a tie to home now.” She explained. “I suppose in one respect it's okay because I am building my life in England, but…”
“Home is home.” Tom added. “A lot of actors have left Britain and indeed Ireland and other countries to go to the States for work and they say it too. You build a life elsewhere, but you are from where you're from and holding onto home is a big thing. I feel it when I am away but it's the reason I love living in London, I am from England and I am fortunate enough to live there.”
“Do you remember when we met Lucas for lunch and he asked about Brexit?” Tom nodded that yes, he recalled such. “Do you ever think about it? I mean, I get occasional racist comments about being Irish, if they get worse or if the government decide to fuck out all non-nationals, I am not sure where that leaves anything.”
“Is that why you have not been willing to go look at houses recently?” Tom asked, noting of late that Danielle was not the least bit interested in continuing their house hunt.
“Well, it's scary investing in a second home there if all that is going to happen is I will be forced to sell soon.”
“You're in England with nearly a decade, I cannot see this going that badly, but if it does, you're so long in Britain, you could not possibly be forced to leave.”
“It's just worrying. I want us to know that if we do this together, it is not going to be a waste of our time. I want whatever we get to be the house we want, the one we still love in a decade.” She looked at him and smiled.
Tom smiled back at her and took her hand in his before kissing it. When he went to leave go again, she gently tightened her grip, telling him she wanted to keep the contact. Both enjoying the anonymity of the city none would expect to see them in.
*
It was the next day when the DNR form Catherine signed became relevant. After a goodbye and a kiss on the cheek to her grandmother, Danielle said goodbye to Sheila for the last time. She stood stoically next to Tom as the doctors walked out of the ICU with Catherine and Margaret, another of Danielle's aunts and gave their condolences to the family. Tom stayed beside Danielle, letting her know he was there for her. He had sadly lost his grandparents, so he knew the sensation, but the words she said on the road from the hotel resonated with him, she was losing her ties to Ireland and in many respects, Tom felt saddened for her, for very obvious reasons but part of him also hoped that Brexit would not chase her way as it was doing other Irish people.
The funeral was small, they went to West Cork to the small parish that her grandmother was from for the funeral, which he noticed was all done in Irish, Danielle reading a piece from the altar for part of it, Tom fascinated by the manner in which she spoke, her voice sounding entirely different in Irish. The whole affair was quiet, until after the meal in the hotel close by, after that, he was slightly startled by the show of music that took place. He looked to Danielle for an explanation.
“Nan was mad into music, so naturally, we remember her this way.” She smiled sadly.
“What's that little accordion?” He pointed to the instrument he had seen a few occasions before in lock-ins but did not know the name of.
“A concertina.”
“How old is that girl?” He asked in shock at the young child playing the instrument diligently.
“She is nine, she's been reared with music in the house and been taking lessons since she was four, her father is a huge trad man, goes to the Willie Clancy in Clare every year.” Tom gave her a confused look. “It's a trad festival, a week-long, with trad groups from all over Ireland go and just play together in one town in Clare, it's a big deal.” She smiled. “Mam would make sure we were there every year without fail, it was one way to guarantee she'd see her lot for a few days, Dad would just be happy in a corner with his whiskey and a good song.”
Tom smiled at the fondness Danielle had for her old family occasions. She clearly spent time with her cousins as a child as he had his, but again, the words she had regarding not having much by way of family ties to Ireland came to him.
For the most part of the evening, they sat in a corner, listening to the music and occasionally talking to family or old friends of her grandmother and grandfather that recognised “Bridget's girl”. Many got curious as to the English fellow she had and more than one checked was there Scottish in him, to Tom's surprise, that seemed acceptable to the majority of them and apparently negated a lot of his English-ness.
One man made it very clear he was less than fond of Sheila and Daniel O'Brien's granddaughter being with a British man. But Catherine shooed him off and informed him Sheila had met and adored Tom, talking fondly of the lovely man her Danielle had brought over to meet her from England, informing one and all Sheila's thoughts of him. It was the only time Tom really felt a moment of uncertainty and a tad unwelcome in the whole situation, he wondered if Danielle ever felt similar; the manner in which she rubbed his hand when Catherine defended him made him think it was something she knew something of.
When the evening turned to night and the celebration of the life of Sheila began to come to a close, Tom was startled when the final song was requested of Danielle, who to his utter shock, sung a song he had heard before but listening to the words, he realised were sadly poignant to the saying of goodbyes.
They were staying in the hotel the afters of the funeral were in, so with goodbyes to her family, he and Danielle went upstairs to their room. Inside, Danielle sighed and took off the clothes she had borrowed from a cousin for the funeral. Tom had hired a suit from a tailor not too far away, so he tidied it into the wardrobe for the night for them to return before their flight the next day.
“I am sorry about Sean Daly.”
“Who?”
“The fella that was not quiet of his dislike of Brits.”
“I was in Bangor for a while, I think it is safe to say, I have been in more hostile company.”
Danielle laughed. “Tom, Love, I hate to break it to you, but Bangor is fairly Unionist and Protestant, so you were under little to no threat there. If you said it was the Falls or the Bogside, I'd sympathise, but Bangor is fairly safe. So is Cork, but still. I know it's never pleasant to have people be so averse to you for no reason. I know I joke and comment on the whole Irish and British thing, but still, it's not nice when people say so aggressively.”
“Do you get it often?” Tom asked curiously.
“Not in London, it is more tolerant and multicultural but on some sets in more remote areas, comments occur, yes.”
Tom said nothing for a short time before getting into the bed, Danielle quickly following after and curling up against him. “Elle?”
“Mmhmm?”
“I didn't know you could sing.”
“I'd hardly call it singing.”
“But what was that tonight?”
“Mam and Nan loved me singing that song as a child and there is no way you decline a wish of the deceased. I sang it at Mam and Dad's funerals and she told me to sing it at hers, I couldn't decline.” She explained.
“Well, I have to say, I am somewhat startled, I never knew it. What is that song?”
“The Parting Glass, an old folk song, made more famous by being in an Assassin's Creed game and I am fairly sure Ed Sheeran covered it.”
“You sound different when you speak Irish and sing, your accent is stronger.”
“You're making me self conscious now.” She admonished before toying with some of his chest hair. “Thank you, Tom. For being here for all of this.”
Tom frowned at her. “Elle, I would be nowhere else, you silly woman.” He dismissed. “I am here for you Elle, no matter what.” He kissed her head. “I love you.” She just continued to lean against him and say nothing as she processed the act of burying her grandmother, a woman she always loved dearly and admired.

A Trip to Guilt Land
Another throwback to nindroid!Jay! Torturing Lloyd is par for the course in Ninjago so what better way to try writing Lloyd by making him think all the bad things that happen in this AU is his fault!
Lloyd sat with the others in the waiting room at the hospital. He never liked hospitals and now, he had even more reasons why he shouldn’t.
The only thing that’s remotely good to come out of this is that Morro is gone and he’s finally free.
But freedom seems to always come at a terrible price.
Many people have been lost when the City of Stiix sank with the Preeminent, he truly lost his father for good, Nya doesn’t look too happy being the Water Ninja who contributed to the destruction, Cole’s stuck as a ghost because of his efforts to free him, and on top of all that, Jay is dying.
And the worst thing about it is that it all happened because of him.
Some savior of Ninjago he turned out to be...
One of the doctors finally emerged from the ICU and judging from the somber look on their face, it wasn’t good and that was what they were expecting the whole time.
“I guess there’s no way to sugarcoat it for you,” The doctor sighed, “Jay is... alive... but...”
The ninja knew what was coming. Jay’s situation was already bleak but hearing it being confirmed didn’t make facing the truth any easier.
“No! I know what you’re gonna say!” Kai blew up at the doctor with an accusatory tone, “Jay’s as good as dead! Just say it already! If you can’t even save him, why bother!?”
‘Jay... dead...’ The two words rang in the green ninja’s head until it hurt. The guilt that already ate away his soul had rubbed salt onto the emotional wounds it had already caused.
He didn’t want to think of what will happen if, no, when Jay passes.
His parents will have to spend the rest of their lives bearing the pain of outliving one’s own child. Nya will lose the one person she ever loved. The ninja will all lose their brother.
How much pain and suffering must he cause for those around him?
“...he can’t even breathe on his own. There is very little chance of survival,” The doctor continued speaking of the blue ninja’s condition, “If you wish, you can go see him. I can’t guarantee it will deliver any comfort.”
“We’ll see him.” Cole answered, his voice now followed by an eerie echo that stung Lloyd’s heart more than he expected it to.
The ninja followed the doctor to the room where Jay is being treated with the green ninja at the very back.
Lloyd didn’t want to be reminded of these horrible changes in the team. If there was any way to wish it all away, he’d be more than happy to take it. But that kind of wishful thinking can only come true in fairy tales and children’s stories. Now he began to truly regret sacrificing his childhood so he can continue believing wishes can actually work.
Sooner than he liked, the ninja arrived at the room. The doctor pulled back the curtain and everyone’s hearts dropped.
Even with his body concealed, it was still a very sickening sight to see.
Underneath the blood-stained sheets, Jay’s body was hooked up to countless machines. Faint beeps interspersed with long pauses confirmed Jay was still in this world, albeit only with the assistance of all the machines. There were also various x-rays of his body and every single one had at least a couple of broken bones. Those were all only vague hints of the true horror hidden from the ninja.
“His... body...” Zane’s glowing optics lingered at the bloody cloths.
“Trust me, you really don’t want to see his body.” One of the doctors halted the nindroid.
“What... what’s gonna happen to him...?” Nya asked, her voice struggling to be heard without choking on withheld tears.
“Much of his vital organs have failed and many bones have been shattered. I’m sorry to say this but it would be cruel to keep him alive if it means being stuck like this for what is more than likely the rest of his life.”
Lloyd couldn’t take it anymore. He made a mad dash out of the room, out of the entire building. He didn’t pause to hear any shouts for him and just ran as fast as his legs can carry him. He took only a few steps outside the hospital when his legs gave in and he fell to his knees. The grief and guilt sickened him and he could feel the contents of his stomach forcing their way up.
Between choked sobs and agonizing cries, Lloyd stained the ground with vomit. With heavy breaths and much struggle, he got back up on his feet, staring at the ugly puddle of stomach acid and digested food. His mind went back to Jay laying on the hospital bed with his life hanging on a thin thread and how he made him that way. All of these terrible things happened because of him and he did nothing to prevent it. And then the terrible truth made him feel more disgusting than the pile of foul-smelling vomit before him.
If, no, when Jay dies, it will be his fault.
Lloyd will be responsible for the lightning ninja’s death.
He killed his own brother.

Rooftop Wishes
Pairing: Jimin X Reader, <Mention of Taehyung>, <Mention of Jungkook>
Word Count: 1.2k
~ Jimin Drabble requested by and dedicated to @faelynnmarie94 ! I really hope you love it! Really enjoyed writing this! ~
Tumblr media
Exhaustion exhibits from every ounce of your frame, sluggishly you walk into your apartment, freeing yourself from your tear stained scrubs and shuffling into a pair of yoga pants and a loose sweatshirt trying to smile through the long workday regardless of the scenarios you witness daily as an ICU nurse. Running a hand through your hair, you decide last minute to run to your favorite place, find some serenity for the evening, and with a turn of a heel, you grab your keys, the jingle of them echoing in the breeze until you make it safely to the driver’s seat.
The rooftop. One nestled above a bustling restaurant with dimly lit décor, stringed lights shine along the railings revealing woven, cushioned chairs circling around a wooden table; red cloth adorns certain areas to bring a romantic feel to the atmosphere reflecting the glimmering stars blanketing the city in the dead of night. The cool breeze wisps along your figure as you make your way to the elevator, singing along with whatever song is playing, swaying your hands with the beat until you make it to the top floor.
Stepping onto the pavement, you remember a painting that you created for the inspiration of this place. Just the soothing feel of the atmosphere envelops you in a blanket of peace, you settle into one of the seats, your eyes never leaving the view of the sky above. Constellations stare down at you, your fingers moving to fiddle with the locket resting around your neck, soon turning to silence your ringer on your cellphone, also admiring the lock screen of your gray cat, Ninja, before placing your phone face down on the table in front of you.
Tonight is a night where you refuse to let the stress of work overcome you. Instead, you promise yourself to think about the anime convention visiting your city soon; one you and your friends, Taehyung and Jungkook plan to tackle by storm, dressing from head to toe like your favorite characters, your goal is to win the best costume for whatever money prize is offered. Laughing at yourself, you’re so intrigued by the scenery around you that you hardly hear the footsteps trailing behind you.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t evil Eevee,” a familiar voice bellows.
“Park Jimin!” You gasp, a hand flying to your chest, “You scared me!”
“First of all, it’s Pikachu,” he lifts his index finger, plopping into the chair beside you, setting his leg over his knee, “Second of all, that was the point,” he leans into the chair as you shake your head at him.
“I’ll get you back one of these days, you just wait,” you threaten, returning to face ahead, his feathery chuckle reverberating every space of the roof bringing a pitter patter to your thudding heart. “Besides, if Eevee’s evil, then what does that make you, Pikachu,” you tease, “A prick?”
An ‘oh’ forms on his thick lips, his black hair fluffing on his forehead as his eyes widen in a playful stance. “Okay,” he slumps, “that was a good one. I take it back.”
“Mhmm,” you smile triumphantly, your bubbly countenance winning over his heart as it always does though he has yet to voice it. “Where’s Tae and Kook?” You question, “I thought you all were going to play Pokemon Go tonight,” you shift just enough to be able to see his face; your eyes trailing the handsome curve of his jaw, the way he chews at the corner of his bottom lip, his shimmering, brown eyes remaining on the sky above. Jimin shrugs, lifting his sleeves further up his arms, the fabric loose on his build.
“Didn’t feel up to it tonight,” he admits though inwardly the real reason is he wanted to see you; him knowing the rooftop is your main spot on nice evenings like this.
Peering at him, your smile remains, “You mean Taehyung beat you again,” a snicker uttering when Jimin abruptly turns to meet your eyes.
“I’ll have you know that I’ve had the top score for three weeks now-,”
“He found Mew, didn’t he,”
“Damnit, [Y/N], listen I was in the shower,” the two of you cackle, Jimin’s eyes disappearing from when he leans forward, trying to catch his breath from his shaking shoulders, multiple squeaks uttering from his laughter. “I was positive Jungkook would catch Mew, to be honest. That kid stayed up 24 whole hours,” you incredulously shake your head in amusement, chuckles still escaping momentarily, and when you lean to nudge Jimin’s wrist with yours, you notice how close he is from what you realized.
“Did he cry?” You joke erupting, even more, chortles from Jimin.
“Posted it on Snapchat,” Jimin waves his phone in the air, the laughter hardly dimming, and without registering, Jimin’s arm is brushing yours, the two of you leaning on the sides of the chairs that touch; Jimin’s hand is so close that the desire to feel his fingers interlace with yours has never been so strong. Little do you know he’s staring at you, wishing he could read your mind; wishing he could find the bravery to verbally express how he feels about you; how your smile lights up his entire world every single time he sees it. He barely catches himself- seeing the way the moon shines among your skin reflecting the glistening assemblage of stars resonating in your eyes, or the way your curly hair sways with the light breeze- the words spill from his mouth before he can comprehend it.
“You’re so perfect,” he whispers.
You’re nearly frozen, questioning if you heard him right, your eyes enlarging when you meet his timid gape. Rendered speechless, your lips part, your eyes flickering back and forth as you search his eyes, the feelings you’ve managed to hide wanting to roll off your tongue without a second thought.
“Jimin,” you whisper, looking down to fill his empty hand with yours, his fingers soft as they intertwine, palms pressing together in a perfect fit, as if the two of you were made just for each other. You can hardly repress the bundle of nerves traveling through your quivering frame; butterflies fluttering within your stomach. When light fingertips graze your chin, your worries dissipate, Jimin tenderly lifting your face to where he can see all your beauty from the inside and out; both your hearts hammering in unison- sounds from the world completely drowned as the two of you get lost in only each other, forgetting about any fears that may have prevented a moment such as this.
Jimin inches closer, you shut your eyes letting the plush feel of his kiss awaken the soaring feeling now exuberating from your soul. He pulls away just enough to rest his forehead on yours, his finger tracing your jaw before he closes the small distance once more, stealing your lips in the sweetest motion, his hand moving to stroke your cheek while you let him give you the escape you have always dreamed of solely with him. The pent-up emotion lifts off both your shoulders into the starry night where it will be lost forever; for now, Jimin kissing you so lovingly beneath the stars in your favorite place of tranquility, you will never be afraid to show him how you feel.
“So,” Jimin pulls away, a nervous smile evident, “Does this make up for all the times I said Eevee was evil? Or, the time I accidentally fed Ninja a milk bone?”
Your hands rest on his forearms as boisterous laughter leaves your smile, “Yes, Jimin,” you beam at him, his smile so wide your heart nearly bursts, “Now, shut up and kiss me!”

Basic Comprehensive Guide to Computer Hardware,
for all you beautiful writers or those who just wanna know about computers!
I’m tagging this as sasusaku because of the post I made earlier about helping writers with computer stuff. Hopefully that will help those lovely people find this post and save it as a reference. For your convenience, this long post is under a read more.
This post was made 9th July 2019 and will be updated with more information.
So first of all, we’ve got several major computer components: the Central Processing Unit (CPU),motherboard, main memory (RAM), secondary storage devices (such as an SSD or a hard drive), input and output devices (known as peripherals),and a Power Supply Unit (PSU).
Other important, but nonessential components include: the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) (a non-embedded GPU), a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), water coolers, wireless network adapters, and extra cooling fans. 
The CPU:
The Central Processing Unit is the part of the computer that actually runs programs. It is the most important part of the computer, because without it, the computer cannot run software. When a computer is performing a task that a program tells it to do, we say that the computer is running or executing the program.
How the CPU works: 
A computer’s CPU can only understand instructions that are written in machine language. Because it is very difficult to write entire programs in machine language, other programming languages have been invented. 
The CPU is designed to perform simple operations on pieces of data. For example, reading data, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, relational operators, etc.,
The CPU understands instructions written in machine language and included in its instruction set. Each brand of CPU has its own instruction set. 
In order to perform meaningful calculation, the CPU must perform many operations.
The CPU does nothing on its own, and must be told what to do. That’s why we have programs! A program is nothing more than a list of instructions that cause the CPU to perform operations!
Although a program can be stored on a secondary storage device, it has to be copied into the main memory, or RAM each time the CPU executes it. 
The CPU executes a program in a cycle of 3 steps: 
Fetch: read the next instruction from memory into CPU.
Decode: the CPU decodes the fetched instruction to determine which operation to perform.
Execute: the CPU performs the operation.
Here’s what my particular CPU looks like:
Tumblr media
I have the intel i7-9700k processor, which has 8 physical cores. It’s a really good processor! It’s also quite cute. One of my favorite things is that inside my lighting software, iCUE (corsair utility engine) I can see the temperature of all my components, including all 8 cores inside my processor! 
Motherboard:
The purpose of the motherboard is to have a central location for all the main components of the computer. Since they’re all mounted/inserted on this board, they can communicate with each other and work together! Sweet!
Here’s what my motherboard looks like, isn’t she cute? 
Tumblr media
The square in the top middle of the motherboard is the CPU socket! That’s where you mount your CPU. There are lots of different types of sockets for different brands of processors. The 4 channels to the right of that square are the ram channels. The L shaped covers at the top left contain the voltage regulator (my particular motherboard also has a small fan right there to cool it off), and the plates below the CPU are heatsinks. The solid state drives are beneath these heatsinks.
Main Memory (RAM):
The Main Memory, or RAM (which stands for Random Access Memory), is where the computer stores a program and the data used by the program while the program is running. 
For example, suppose you’re using a word processor like Microsoft Word to write something. While you are writing, both the word processing program and the piece you’re writing are stored in the main memory.
We call the main memory RAM because the CPU is able to quickly access data stored at any random location in the RAM. RAM is a volatile memory used for temporary storage while the program is running, so the contents of your computer’s RAM will be erased when the computer is turned off. Inside your machine, RAM is stored in chips. It’s really cute! 
Here’s my ram:
Tumblr media
It’s the Corsair Vengeance RGB pro. My particular ram is 4x8, which means I have 4 sticks of RAM, each at 8GB. That means I have 32GB of RAM! 
Secondary Storage Devices: 
Secondary storage devices are used to hold data for long periods of time. Programs are stored here and then loaded to the main memory when needed.
So, we’ve got several types of secondary storage devices:
Disk Drive: Magnetically encodes data onto a spinning circular disk.
Solid State Drive (SSD): Faster than a disk drive. Has no moving parts, and stores data in solid state memory.
Flash Memory (flash drive, memory stick): Portable, no physical disk. Usually used by connecting it to a computer’s Universal Serial Bus (USB) communication port and appears to the computer as a disk drive, but does not contain a disk.
Optical devices (compact disk (CDs), digital versatile disk (DVDs)): Data is encoded optically as a series of pits on the disk surface. CD and DVD drives use a laser to detect the pits in order to read the encoded data. Optical disks hold large amounts of data, and for that reason, recordable CD and DVD drives are commonly used for creating backup copies of data.
Here are my SSDs, (solid state drives): 
Tumblr media
I have 2 of these Samsung 970 pros under the heatsinks of my motherboard, both 1 TB each. They’re a lot faster than a hard drive because they don’t have any physical moving parts. They’re also a lot smaller and cuter! 
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU):
The GPU is designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory in order to accelerate the creation of images. They can either be embedded in the motherboard (like most laptops or low-tier desktops) or be on a video card. 
So pretty much, your GPU does a lot of arithmetic! It’s very powerful and necessary for playing heavy games or editing videos. 
Here’s my GPU: 
Tumblr media
This is the ASUS GTX 1080 ROG STIX RGB GPU. Lots of acronyms there, but she’s really cute! She has 3 fans to keep her cool while I’m playing Skyrim and Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. She’s also got some HDMI ports and stuff on the back there. That’s how you connect your monitor or VR to her! 
So a lot of you have heard of the GPU hype lately, I’m sure. So, there’s a couple types of GPUs.
TI: stands for titanium, and just means that it’s more powerful than the graphics card without it. So the ASUS GTX 1080 TI ROG STRIX RGB is more powerful than my GPU, the ASUS GTX 1080 ROG STRIX RGB. The TI versions of graphics cards have more shader processors (cores and shit) that are able to carry out specialized processing and rendering tasks that are required for your computer to display stuff on your monitor.
GTX: nobody really knows? Grand Tourismo Xtreme? Graphics Technology Xtreme? Sounds cool though.
RTX: Ray Tracing! Ray tracing is a rendering technique that can produce incredibly realistic lighting effects. Basically, an algorithm can trace the path of light, and then simulate the way that the light would react with the virtual objects it hits in the generated world. 
Cooling Systems: 
So, there’s a lot to unpack here. You can do mineral oil (submerge your entire computer in a fish tank of mineral oil! No thanks, that sounds really inconvenient for maintenance.) regular fans, water cooled, and I’m sure there’s much more shit I haven’t even heard of. Today we’ll be talking about fans and water cooling.
Fans: lots of different kinds. They spin to cool your computer down! 
Tip: When cleaning your fans on your computer, you need to hold your fans still. When they spin, they generate power to the motherboard (think of it like a computer windmill) and can cause it to overheat and get messed up. A lot of people like to clean their fans using compressed air for convenience, but if you let the blades spin freely while you’re blowing air at them, they will generate too much electricity for the motherboard to handle. 
There’s many kinds of fans, like SP (static pressure), AF (airflow), and ML (magnetic levitation). There’s a lot more that I haven’t really studied. I personally like my ML fans because they’re pretty and super quiet! 
Water Coolers: 
Water coolers take advantage of the basic principle of thermodynamics- heat moves warmer objects to cooler objects. As the cooler object gets warming, the warmer object gets cooler. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ1lNwCKs-c
This wonderful youtube video bu Tao of Tech does a really fantastic job of explaining. I feel that the visuals he produces are much more effective than my typing. 
This is my water cooler, the Corsair H150i Pro. 
Tumblr media
The block with the Corsair logo is referred to as the water block or the CPU block. This sits directly on the CPU on top of the motherboard. The fans sit on top of the radiator at the front of my case, although it’s possible to mount your radiator and fans in the top of the case as well. 
There are two types of water coolers: AIO and Custom. 
AIO stands for all in one. The water cooler above is an AIO loop. The water inside does not need to be changed because it’s a closed loop! I love my water cooler because there’s a lot less maintenance on it than using a custom loop! 
A Custom loop consists of larger tubes, a reservoir, and a pump. You need to replace the water inside it every so often (I’d say like 6-8 months but I have friends who have left it in there for years). The tubes and all have to be cleaned out, and the custom loops are quite bulky. However, it makes it very easy to liquid cool both your GPU and CPU simultaneously and can in some cases be more efficient than an AIO loop. You really need to know what you’re doing when you build a custom water cooling loop, but they can look super cool and perform really really well. 
One popular brand of cooling fluid (my computer science friends and I lovingly call it computer water, the forbidden drink) is thermaltake. There’s lots of different colors for you to customize your system! 
Here’s an interesting video from JayzTwoCents on his custom loop with 2 year old fluid! He drains his system in this video. It’s pretty sweet.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8wwxGPGApU
I HIGHLY recommend JayzTwoCents if you want to know more about building PCs! 
Input Devices:
Input is data that the computer collects from devices. An input device is a component that collects data, usually from the end user (you!) For example, keyboards, mice, touchscreens, and cameras are all input devices.
Disk drives can be considered input devices because programs and devices are retrieved from them and then loaded into the computer’s main memory.
Output Devices:
Output is data produced by the computer for people or devices. This data can be text, image, audio, or bit stream. An output device formats and presents output. This may be a video display (your monitor, or screen), or a printer.
Disk drives and USB drives can be considered output devices because data is sent to them to be saved.
Here’s my machine. Try to identify which parts are which!

Grid Ghost Chapter 2: Down and Out
Obake was doing his best to keep himself from falling over. He only had another block or so to go before he reached his destination. He could taste copper in his mouth.
Never a good sign.
His steps were staggering, his vision flickering but he kept pushing till he was finally through a set of doors. Soon as he passed through, he let himself fall to the floor, his eyes sliding shut.
Before he blacked out entirely, he could hear people coming towards him. Their voices had a slight panic to them yet they were mostly calm.
The last thing he could hear clearly was someone shouting:
“Get him on a stretcher and have an OR on standby!”
I’ll leave the rest to you, now.
Please, don’t kill me.
oooooo
Dr. Shaylin Sky was used to crazy.
When you sign up to be a doctor, it was a given that anything could possibly go wrong and anything could possibly happen during a shift at a hospital and you just had to learn to roll with it and not question things.
Though sometimes she wished nights could be quieter. Especially when she was about to head home.
It had been a long day of appointments and assisting surgeons in surgery and trying to get the hospital back in proper working order after everything went to heck with concerns of the city being destroyed by a star that seemed to come out of nowhere.
And now… she had an unconscious man she was rushing to an OR after exams had revealed he was suffering massive amounts of internal bleeding in the abdominal region.
Along with something else that was definitely not normal but I don’t got time for that. Treat and stabilize now, ask questions later.
As soon as the man was in the OR she quickly scrubbed in before joining in on the procedure.
“Shouldn’t you be heading home?” The surgeon asked as he started to make incisions into the affected areas. “And is a blood transfusion on the way?”
“I would be, Leon, but I had a man pass out on the floor in front of me and you know I don’t like dropping a patient and running, even if I’m supposed to be gone by now and yes, I got the boys looking through our O- stash as we speak.
"Devoted as ever and good, because he’s losing a lot and fast.” Leon narrowed his eyes. “What the heck did he do to himself? Throw himself off a building?”
“Doubt it, considering the only broken bones I saw in the scans were a couple of ribs. If he had been thrown off a building there would be a lot more broken. Though with the bruises he’s got on him he certainly had something rough happen be it a landing or a fight. Just not sure what.”
“Questions we can ask him once he’s stable and awake. Clamps, please.”
Shaylin handed Leon on the tool in question.
“Oh, trust me, I got a LOT of questions for this guy once he’s conscious and lucid.”
“That’s an omen.” Leon looked to Shaylin with some concern. “See something of interest in your exam?”
“Nothing harmful… I think but it was… definitely of interest.”
“Wanna enlighten me?”
“Drain blood and fix injuries first, then I’ll tell you.”
“Very well.” Leon eyed the man’s face before getting back to work. “Though, gotta say, it’s a miracle he made it here on his own. You said he stumbled on in?”
“Yeah. Again, not sure what the story is but I’m sure we’ll find out soon.”
And I get the feeling it’s going to be a weird one.
oooooo
For Obake, it had only been a few minutes between when he had blacked out to when he was waking up again. He knew it had certainly been longer than a few minutes he just wasn’t sure how much longer.
As he opened his eyes, he could hear the faint sounds of a heart monitor beeping and the dripping of an IV bag.
Those are sounds that bring back memories…
“Just a little longer, Bob. You’re almost done.”
“Just a few more drops then we can go home and watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles together like you promised, Daddy! You can do it!”
For a moment, he was back in that treatment bed again, his daughter holding his hand while his wife monitored his vitals. He could see a young Trina smiling at him, hopefulness in her light blue eyes as she helped keep him comfortable.
It all quickly faded as a voice broke the illusion, revealing he was in an ICU room with a woman he didn’t recognize.
The woman appeared to be of latina descent with tan skin and light brown hair that was pulled into a loose ponytail. She had a look of concern in her deep blue eyes. Judging from the lab coat and ID tag she had hanging around her neck, she was most likely a doctor.
He squinted his eyes to read the name on the ID tag.
“Dr. Shaylin Sky”
“With me?” she asked.
“More or less.” He said, practically whispered. He cringed, bringing a hand to his abdomen. “What happened…?”
“You collapsed in our ER bay. You were rushed in for emergency surgery after some quick tests. You had a couple of broken ribs and massive internal bleeding in the abdominal region due to damage done to various organs. All of it was treated and you’re stable now and are on strict bed rest till further notice.”
“I see… perfect.” Obake sighed, looking up at the ceiling. “Anything else I need to know about in regards to injuries?”
“No… More so I need to know about something.”
Obake looked to Shaylin, raising an eyebrow.
“What do you mean?”
Shaylin crossed her arms.
“You got an interesting looking implant on the left side of your skull… and a pretty nicely sized tumor to boot. I doubt those are things you don’t know about. Care to explain?”
Obake glanced to the side.
“… I have to ask a question before I can answer anything in regards to those two things. Are you associated with Sycorax or Liv Amara?”
Shaylin gave a disgusted look.
“The day I associate with that woman or her company is the day I resign from being a doctor. No offense to her and her work but I don’t like her attitude. She’s just…. condescending and sometimes has no regards for morality… It's… a long story. Either way, no, I am not associated with her, nor is this particular hospital. They’re not rich enough for her. Who wants to know?”
Obake let out another sigh.
“Bob Aken wants to know, that’s who.”
Shaylin’s eyes widened at this, though kept her composure.
“Go on.”
Obake closed his eyes.
“I’ve had this tumor in my head since I was 15 years old that manifested due to a rather unfortunate accident with an experiment. It was managed with chemo treatments for the longest time till around last year when someone came in, claiming they could help me. This someone being Liv Amara.” Obake opened his eyes, his implant letting off a glow for a second. “This implant was supposed to cure me… when it all it did was make things worse.” His eyes narrowed. “She took everything from me that day I entered her operating room doors… all with a simple series of shocks.”
“Your family is none of your concern anymore, Obake. Your concern is making your mark on San Fransokyo. To be remembered as a legend.”
Obake was panting, grabbing at the table as electricity pulsed through his mind.
“Ngh! No! Kim… Trina… I… Gck! I need to…”
“Shhhh…” Liv brought a hand to his cheek again, stroking it with her thumb. “They’re not here anymore… It’s just you, Obake. You’re alone. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Think of all you can do. No limits whatsoever. You can be the genius you longed to be. You can make great accomplishments. You can make Grace regret ever abandoning you in your time of need. You can make her wish she had never given up on you.”
“I… I….” Obake’s pupils dilated. “I could be… remembered by all…”
“That’s right.” Liv smiled. “You just have to do exactly as I tell you. There’s no Bob Aken anymore. There is only Obake. A ghost. But soon to be remembered and revered by all.”
“Remembered… and revered by all.”
Obake grabbed at the blankets of his bed, lowering his head.
“I haven’t been in my right mind for awhile now… and I want it to stop. And I only know one person I could trust with my head.” Obake looked at Shaylin. “Do you know Dr. Kim Aken?”
Shaylin nodded.
“I do. She’s a dear friend of mine… who has been dearly missing her husband who disappeared around last year.” Shaylin’s look turned gentle. “And it seems he’s finally been found.”
Obake nodded.
“Can you get me to her? And do you have my things? There’s some important equipment in that backpack I came in with along with the USB I had around my neck.”
“Yes and yes. I have your possessions in my office for safekeeping and I can contact Kim’s hospital right away and have you transferred.”
“Thank you… Where is she at, by the way?”
“Saga Regional Hospital.”
Home…
“Good… I want to get away from this city for a bit.” Obake leaned back into his pillow. “Too much crime and too much noise.”
Shaylin chuckled.
“Kim said the same thing.” She gave a small smile. “You know, she never stopped looking for you. Even came here for a bit with her daughter in hopes they’d find you. They’re going to be so happy when they see you.”
“Maybe… though I’m expecting irritation considering my current state.”
And telling them what I’ve been doing for the past year. That’s going to be fun.
“Possibly. Kim’s more level headed than I am. If you were my husband you would’ve gotten a slight pow pow.”
“And a sandal?”
“That’s la chancla to you, mister.”
“Nuance.”
Shaylin rolled her eyes, getting up from her chair.
“I’ll go make some calls then. Can I get you anything?”
Obake gave a small smirk.
“I have a blueberry scone in a tupperware in that backpack of mine. I’d like to eat it now, please.”
Shaylin smirked, shaking her head.
“You’re not gonna be able to enjoy it as you are so, patience on that one.”
“Oh, come now, I know how to eat slow.”
“Eat it when you don’t have a tumor the size of a ping pong ball suppressing your right from wrong junction.”
Shaylin left without another word.
Obake gave a flat look, plopping his head into his pillow.
It’s called the temporo-parietal junction, plebeian.
… And it’s not the size of a ping pong ball!

👫 Kiba and Sakura!

1) One time when Sakura was mad at Kiba, she did put him down for a flea shampoo bath on his hospital records. She then hid in the ICU until for a week straight to avoid him since only those with special clearance could be in there.
2) When her team broke up after Sasuke left, Kiba was one of the people Sakura hunted down to help her train. He was strong, but more approachable than some of the other ninjas in their age group. Sakura also wanted his help with staying better hidden from tracker ninja like him.
3) Sakura unashamedly pets Akamaru every time she runs into Kiba and the dog’s with him. Akamaru gets greeted before Kiba does. Every time. 
4) Since Kiba is one of her friends and thus one of her precious people, Sakura does her best to make sure she’s the doctor that sees Kiba when he comes into the hospital when injured. If she can’t be the attending, then she makes sure it’s someone else with good bedside manners that’ll make sure he’s fixed up and to keep him in the hospital if need be.

[Boruto Fanfic] Aihime
As promised here is the new, small, collab fanfic done between me and @mirage-05 !
This fanfic is mainly focused on Boruto’s and Mitsuki’s relationship, with the possibility of romance in the way but mainly regarding their bond as friends. Some other ships will be occasionally mentioned such as ShikaSara and Sumire x OC.
Feedback is appreciated!
Chapter 2: Boruto’s Decision
The blond's azure eyes widened in surprise and shock at the same time, he froze where he was and his mind went blank. The only thing wandering in his brain right now were Mitsuki's words.
Despite knowing he had shocked his best friend, Mitsuki had this soft and understanding smile as the wind blew past them, making their hairs and clothes move along with it.
And then Mitsuki closed his eyes but the smile was still there "I know it's something big to ask for you and I would never force you to accept it..but you are an important person in my life, I am here thanks to you and all I want is for my future child to be like you."
Boruto opened and closed his mouth several times, like a fish out of water... which probably wasn't that far off a metaphor. He was completely caught off guard, which was saying something, because all this time knowing Mitsuki he thought he would've gotten used to his... surprises already... But this was something far beyond his imagination capability.
Even when dating those girls (and failing each time), even when he thought that he could have taken things seriously with one or two of them... this step wasn't even the last thing he had on mind. Child meant responsibility... and really, even though Mitsuki claimed he wouldn't have to be bothered with the child... could he not, if it comes to that?
Which brought another thing to his mind. He... was taking this in an even stride so far, actually thinking beyond the obvious question he should think of first... This wasn't a discussion he was having with a girlfriend. Even though he came to accept Mitsuki as a clone... the whole thing was still kind of out-of-worldly for him…
And still, Mitsuki's smile didn't fade. "You... don't have to answer now. I didn't expect you to." he said calmly, just gazing at him with a level look.
Before Boruto could even think of a possible answer for Mitsuki, his friend had started to walk past him and all the blond could do was follow him with his confused gaze.
For a moment Mitsuki stopped in his tracks, then turned slightly to Boruto but still with his smile "Get some rest Boruto, we had a long mission." and just like that the blue haired man had disappeared with a single jump into a roof, leaving his best friend alone and still very confused with everything that had just happened.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
As the days continued passing, Mitsuki hadn't received an answer from Boruto and the more the days passed, the more Mitsuki had come to terms that he would have to settle for a stranger as the donor for the conception of his child.
Deep inside, you could say he was disappointed however it's not like he didn't think of the possibility that Boruto wouldn't accept his offer; it was indeed a big step and maybe too much to ask despite the two men being very close.
He couldn't blame Boruto.
And that's why...Mitsuki was caught by surprise when he saw Boruto walk in his office at the hospital.
"Boruto?" he gently put down the pen with which he was writing some documents and very slowly stood up from his chair, his eyes never leaving the blond.
The Uzumaki was a bit abrupt in his moves, almost made Mitsuki lean slight back when Boruto walked up to his table and slammed his hands on the wood. A very serious look shining in his blue eyes.
"I will give you an answer for your request. On a condition, I want you to answer me two questions."
Mitsuki's amber eyes blinked, very slowly but the apathetic expression remained in his features "Okay." was his simple answer
Boruto went back to his still position and crossed his arms over his chest "Okay. First question...how bad do you want this child? Second question, why me?"
Just as Mitsuki was about to answer, there was an announcement for him, calling him to the newborn ICU. "Come with me." the blue haired man told his friend before heading out, the footsteps behind him being the indicator that Boruto did follow his words.
And so Mitsuki fell in step with his work, checking on a preemie placed in an incubator for breathing problems. The baby was so tiny... fragile... but it didn't slip the blond's attention that she was reacting well to Mitsuki's movements and treatment, relaxing more and more as her breathing became easier.
To his surprise, the next thing his friend did was to allow him into the room, after he wore some protective outfit of course.
Mitsuki took the newborn's tiny hand in his hands... and to his astonishment, those tiny fingers curled on the man's pinky finger, almost as in searching a reassurance.
"Precisely because of this..." Mitsuki murmured softly, his eyes on the preemie. "I want... need... to leave behind someone I... watch over from the beginning... someone I can watch grow... and hold my hand, as I will hold hers - or his - throughout my life..." Maybe this wasn't the exact answer to his question, but there was no doubt... it was clear in his tone that Mitsuki really, really yearned for this child.
It almost made Boruto's heart ache.
"And as for why I chose you..." The blue haired man turned to him, and his smile was genuine, small but sincere. "I am what I am because of you, Boruto. Maybe I didn't get to choose to be friends with you at first but... through your friendship, I got to become something much more than an empty shell, a copy of the person who created me."
"Heh...well...back in there I thought I was the reason you didn't want to stay in the village" maybe back in those days it wasn't entirely false this statement, although Mitsuki had made it clear to him that it wasn't because he hated him. He just needed to find himself. "But...this child...Mitsuki, you know my genetics carry a lot more than just...well...simple DNA."
Mitsuki's eyes drifted again back to the baby in the incubator "I'm aware of that and if it comes to that then I will ready myself for that situation, I don't care about power and you know it. This child could even be born without chakra and I would still love him or her with my whole existence." he closed his eyes for a moment and let out a sigh "I just want to love someone...the same way your parents love you and your sister and this child having a piece of you in them? I know they would shine bright as you."
Boruto blinked and Mitsuki sighed again, that smile and look from days ago returning "But I've told you, I am not going to force you to do this."
Boruto heaved a deep breath, and Mitsuki felt like his best friend was trying to come to terms with something... with his decision. The young blue haired man was patient while he waited for Boruto, rearranging his belongings to return to the office in the meantime, trying not to let it show just how much he worried about the coming answer…
"I..." Boruto began, then paused for a second to gulp. "I do want to help you... You are my best friend and I can't hold back while it's something so important to you..." He raised his head to look squarely into his eyes, and there was nothing but pure sincerity in it.
Mitsuki, of course, couldn't hold back the smile that made its way to his face; usually it was known this man always managed to fake smiles even he was clearly not okay but after spending so many years next to him, Boruto had come to understand when said smiles were fake and when they weren't.
This one wasn't fake.
Although, the Uzumaki had to admit that he did not expect Mitsuki to pull him into a hug, a quite tight one that almost knocked the air out of his lungs. But soon he returned that gesture by patting slightly his friend's back.
"Thank you, Boruto." Mitsuki started "I will forever be grateful to you."
"Heh...like I said, this is something really important to you so how can I say no."
They parted from the hug but still stared at each other "Just so you know, I want you to be the godfather of this child" Boruto scratched the back of his head awkwardly while a grin made its way to his face.
"Deal then" he said "So um...what will I have to do?"
.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
And so the months passed, much more slower than Boruto would have guessed... He always had something to preoccupy him, whether that be a mission, or help around the town, which had been very frequent lately... for some unknown reason Boruto was getting along pretty well with kids, and so his little friends always wanted to see more of him, leaving him pretty much with no free time at all.
He wasn't complaining, not at all, having fallen to the easy rhythm of life after peace had once again been established in the ninja world, and it had become a fundamental task to make it a safer place for the generations to come.
But all the while, quite often during his daily routine... he couldn't help but wonder how it was going on... with Mitsuki.
The donation had been successfully complete, and actually almost a month later Mitsuki had received news from Karin saying that the embryo was stable and growing. It was after receiving those news that his best friend had requested Sarada to leave Konohagakure for the next months so that he could accompany the process personally.
Sarada had accepted and the next day Mitsuki left back to Otogakure. He didn't receive news ever since.
Specifically today was a busy day in the village, well the Uzumaki could guess it was in every village but nevermind that, for it was the day many couples adored to celebrate. Valentines Day.
While walking around the town, Boruto would see many girls offering their beloveds the typical handmade chocolates; heck even his mother still made chocolates for his father and the blond still chuckled at the image of Naruto drowling when he saw Hinata had made that delicious sweet.
Boruto didn't care much for Valentines Day however girls in town didn't care and earlier this morning he had woke up with his doorstep full of bags with chocolates from many many girls. All he could think was that he was going to take forever to eat all that and could only hope his stomach didn't start hurting.
Breaking him from his thoughts, his cellphone rang loud; the blond man reached for it and almost jumped from his seat when he saw who the caller was.
Mitsuki.
It came as another surprise for him when he nearly jumped on the phone, too eager to get to hear his voice again. "Mitsuki??" he gasped out, almost breathless in his haste.
He could hear the smile in his best friend's answering tone. "Just as I thought... I knew the Boruto I know would be sitting by his phone, jumping up at every ring of it."
"Never mind that now." the blond continued in a rush. "What've you been doing all this time?" Of course he knew the answer, but still... he just couldn't keep the intrigue from his voice.
"Actually..." there was a small pause at the other end of the line. "I might be seeing you sooner than you think."
"Wait what?" did that mean what he thought it meant? He was coming back? "You're coming back?! Wait uh tell me when, I can go pick you at the train station!" he sounded quite excited, he didn't even know why.
Again he heard the smile "No need, I'm almost reaching the gates. Just called you because I thought you would like to meet this heavily sleeping bundle I have currently wrapped around my chest."
Boruto's jaw almost dropped "Y-you mean you're... right now you're... and by a bundle you mean...?"
This time, there was a full chuckle. "Really Boruto, some things never change, do they?"
"Don't come in from the gates!" The blond almost yelled in a rush, feeling his pulse quickening as the whole impact of the words dawned on him. "I'll meet you just out of them okay?" Damn if he wanted to see the... baby... himself first…
He didn't even hear the reply before he ended the call and began rushing to the gates, his mind in overdrive. The baby... the baby that has a part of him in his or her DNA... the closest he would possibly feel to a…
No... even that thought made him feel almost dizzy. He tried to keep his mind mostly blank as he completed the route.
He jumped from roof to roof, stair to stair trying to be faster than time itself. And finally the gates were there, just a few steps more.
His eyes weren't tricking him when he saw a figure leaning against a tree just a little outside the border of the gate. It was him, thank goodness he listened to him.
"Mitsuki!" He saw the blue haired man raise his head to face him with that welcoming smile. But then Mitsuki raised his free hand and put his index finger over his lips, indicating silence.
"She is asleep but I would like us to reach home first before she starts crying."
“Oh” Boruto instinctively put his hand over his mouth but realization hit him like a truck as he processed Mitsuki’s words, so he spoke again but lower “Wait…”she”?”
The blue haired man’s smile spread as he adjusted the baby in his arms before pulling apart a bit of the warm blanket, revealing the baby’s face.
“Boruto...this is Aihime.”
Note: Aihime (愛姫) literally means "love princess"
