Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love!

Aww this is so fun! Let’s see here… we’ll do just my It/reddie fics for this one, but if anyone wants a pokemon list, let me know!

1. Pants on Fire - The ‘Richie ends up in a Liar Liar situation’ fic. This one is still my favorite. So much fun to write!

"My name is Richard Tozier," he said to his reflection. Easy. So far, so good. "I was born on March seventh, nineteen seventy-six." Also good. Nice. Okay, now for the kicker... "I am six foot fff–" He blinked. The words stuck awkwardly in his throat. "I am six foot ffff–!" He stared into his eyes through the mirror as he watched them fill with dread.

"I am six foot ffff–ucking two!" he cried. In his reflection, his eyes widened comically. Oh, this was bad. Something was wrong, something was so, so wrong.

2. Turning and Returning - Richie and Eddie get paired with each other during a middle school dancing PE unit. :’)

Ben had gotten the idea in his head that the ballroom dances are like, the most romantic or whatever; so hopefully if Richie has to watch someone fucking waltzing elegantly around with Eddie all week, it'll—

"Kaspbrak, Tozier. You two."

Richie blinks, snapping out of his head. "Huh? Us two what?" he asks.

Coach Black looks up from his clipboard, unimpressed, and uses his pen to point between Richie and Eddie. "You two are partners," he clarifies casually, like he isn't completely upending Richie's entire fucking life. Fuck.

3. Cooking Up Trouble - Richie gives Eddie cooking lessons to help him survive after his divorce. This one has pretty artwork, too!

Richie, for whatever reason, was more than willing to drop everything and fly out to New York that very weekend, despite Eddie's insistence that it really, really wasn't necessary.

"It's just a cooking lesson, Rich," he urged, exasperated yet fond. "Easily completed over the phone."

"Not the way I do it, Eds," Richie said with a grin and a wink over FaceTime. "The Richie Tozier culinary experience is hands-on only, baby."

4. A Gentle Nudge - Bev and Eddie bonding!

His eyes were still big, even bigger than usual, and the leg she wasn't touching bounced nervously. "I'm not in love with you," he repeated, finally looking over at Bev. "I've never been in love with you."

"Wow, kick a girl while she's down," she quipped.

Eddie rolled his eyes and snorted. "Oh, shut up," he snapped. "Focus, Bev. I'm having a revelation, here."

5. Hung Up on You - Short and sweet. Middle age idiots acting like middle schoolers.

A few of the Losers make delighted and wistful noises at the idea, to Eddie's continued mortification, and before he knows it, his phone is being thrust into his hands, and six pairs of eyes are staring him down.

He blinks up at them stupidly. "He's—He's at a party!" he cries. "He's not even gonna answer!"

"He will if it's you." Mike grins. Eddie hates that he knows he's right.

do you think there might be a reason the skelebros keep their hands covered? papyrus (according to him) ALWAYS wears gloves while sans has mittens. toby apparently specifically requested that sans's mii fighter costume have mittens instead of the more normal looking hands it was originally going to have. do you think there's a deeper reason behind it, or is just cause an aspect of their character designs since they live in snowdin?

I was unaware Sans wore mittens. I thought only Papyrus covered his hands. It doesn’t help that Sans hides his hands inside his pockets 24/7 either.. . ff

My answer ended up being long (bc of images) so I’m hiding it under a cut.

But here’s the short answer/summary: I agree that the skelebros are likely wearing gloves/mittens for unspecified reasons. I am still unsure whether Sans is actually wearing mittens, but so far it seems like he is. And I do believe Papyrus when he says he never takes his gloves off. All evidence suggests he doesn’t.

Toby Fox made a tweet about requesting Sans’s mii-fighter to have “mitten-like” hands.

Sans was probably gonna have skeletal hands originally, but Toby requested a change. I didn’t think too much about the term “mitten-like” being used to describe San’s hands tbh.

The tweet can be read 2 ways: Sans either has mitten-ish hands, or Sans is actually wearing mittens. Could go either way in my opinion.

Game-wise... that could be different.

Undertale has a simple artstyle. This makes it hard to decipher whether Sans’s battle sprite is actually wearing mittens or not, since all hands generally look like this:

Its hard to tell!!

I tried looking through the official art (which Toby said is not canon), and noticed Sans is usually drawn with his hands inside his pockets. A lot. It’s basically his default pose.

There were a few times where his hands were visible though.

The Undertale vinyl record has San’s hands look like white mittens.

His hands do not look like skeletal hands. He is likely wearing mittens here.

The Undertale orchestra did the same thing.

In the orchestra artwork, Sans’s hands have no lines that distinguish his fingers apart - something all the other characters have. We can only distinguish San’s thumb from his palm. It is another implication Sans is wearing mittens.

In these two instances, Sans is wearing white mittens. Since the mittens are white, they are hard to notice. There is a good chance Sans is wearing mittens in the game and it is just hidden by the fact he always hides his hands inside his pockets.

But there is also, for example Fangamer’s MTT poster, that gives Sans mitten-ish hands:

Here, San’s hands match the mii-fighter’s hands. So it varies by artist. Either San’s hands resemble mittens, or Sans is covering his hands with gloves/mittens. Hard to tell which is the truth tbh..

Okay, now Papyrus.

Papyrus claims he never takes off his gloves.

He is telling the truth.

Papyrus changes his outfit 3x times in the game.

Papyrus will change every aspect of his outfit except for the gloves. He is willing to change out of his battle body, remove his scarf, add headgear, but not remove his gloves.

And monsters acknowledge the fact Papyrus never removes his gloves.

Sans said Papyrus washes his clothes by wearing them in the shower.

Papyrus probably does the same thing for his gloves; wash them by wearing them in the shower. He does wear the gloves with his battle body after all.

There is also Toriel. In the alarm clock post, she implied Papyrus would NOT remove his gloves if he is given a new pair of mittens to wear.

Characters are aware Papyrus never takes off his gloves. I don’t think he removes them either. Nothing implies that he would.

Going back to the original question... I do think there’s a reason for why the skelebros wear gloves/mittens. Besides them being from Snowdin, there is likely another unspecified reason. I mean other characters in the game wear gloves, but it isn’t often mentioned like it is with Sans and Papyrus (especially Papyrus).

Also Sans and Papyrus are skeletons. They have no skin. Papyrus’s battle body is incapable of protecting him from the cold. I doubt his gloves alone are enough to insulate him.

Other than the gloves being a fashionable item... I have no idea why else Papyrus would wear gloves??? He’s willing to change his entire outfit except for the gloves too.

And if Sans IS wearing mittens, then that just adds more to the mystery. His default pose hides his hands inside his pockets too. And even then, his mittens would be white and hard to distinguish from his actual hand.. .

I don’t have answers for why they would cover their hands, but I assume there’s a reason for it (hopefully we get answers in deltarune)..

TL;DR The skelebros are wearing gloves for unspecified reasons. I don’t think it’s just a design choice that can be explained by saying they are from Snowdin. Sans is likely wearing mittens, and Papyrus never takes off his gloves. The fact they cover their hands is brought up too often for the information to be ignored imo.

#Anonymous #ask #long post #read more #this was fun to answer!!#i had no idea sans is probably wearing gloves. . .#also anon sorry for the late reply!! ><;;;#my weekday got swamped #so i had to answer in the weekend ffff #i might have to grammar check this later #sans #papyrus #skelebros

BnHA Chapter 267: My Name Is

Previously on BnHA: Hawks stabbed Twice in the back of the head. Twice stabbed another guy in the back of the head. Everyone’s just running around stabbing or being stabbed. I should probably clarify that Twice actually died, because this is a shounen manga, so sometimes you have to clarify that this particular stabbing was actually fatal. Not just one of those flesh wound stabbings. Anyway so it was super sad, and now Dabi’s gonna face off with the sexy scarred murderous Hawks, and Toga and Compress are also going to be feeling a bit stabby after all this probably, and so that’s the general mood here I guess. I kind of need a break now so I’m wondering if we’re gonna cut to any of the kids. Because if we stick around Horikoshi may actually have to give us Dabi flashbacks. God forbid.

Today on BnHA: Tokoyami has a flashback to when Hawks told him he’s weak to being set on fire. This terrible thought weighs on his mind as he and the other lads and lasses of U.A.’s child soldier vanguard are escorted away from the battle via Fatgum and his absolute goat of a quirk. Dabi is all “:D you killed Twice, I’m gonna set you on fire repeatedly now” and Hawks is all “ffff no that’s my weakness also WHO ARE YOU” and WE GET SOME HAWKS FLASHBACKS?! and then Dabi is all “:DDDDDD [CENSORED]” and it’s literally fucking censored fuck my life. but also !!! because he actually fucking said it, though?? He really went and revealed it just like that?? And now Hawks knows, and he’s all shocked, and Dabi goes to kill him afterwards but TOKOYAMI IS ALL “ON YOUR LEFT!!!!” and OH SHIT. Also Endeavor saves Miruko so DOUBLE OH SHIT. Oh my god. I’m sorry this summary is all over the place but I can barely type a coherent sentence now so just TAKE THESE EXCLAMATION POINTS AND GO!!! SPREAD THE WORD. BE FREE.

everyone before we begin I would just like to tell you about my discovery this week. I learned that when I type the word “Dabi” on my phone the next word that the keyboard predicts is “flashbacks.” google keyboard is on to me. so now the FBI and the CIA and whoever else google is selling all my data to all know. I can only imagine. “she seems to spend an inordinate amount of time talking about ‘Dabi flashbacks.’ what’s a Dabi.” I’ll tell you what a Dabi is. it’s a guy whose fucking flashbacks we never fucking get that’s what

anyway so let’s read this chapter whose spoiler tags have already been filling up my dashboard, which is always a good sign. who will die this week? Horikoshi please have mercy on us in light of recent real life global events. maybe you can just have everyone abruptly decide that they are all done fighting and want to go home

-- GOD BLESS US EVERYONE

who could have known, years ago when the very first mangaka was drawing the very first color page, that this medium would one day soar to such great heights. who could have imagined that we would one day be witness to this masterwork, this magnificent fucking triumph of a colored manga page. holy shit. I will cherish this always

for real you all think I’m joking but I genuinely don’t want to scroll down lol. let’s just stay with Miruko forever. where it is safe. and sexy. goddammit

OH SURE, THEY GIVE US HAWKS FLASHBACKS

anyways but lol

guys. we’ve been over this. fire is everyone’s weakness. just. I’m not quite sure people like Hawks and Kamui Woods actually grasp that. do they think normal people catch on fire and they’re just “oh, this is actually all right.” also, side note kids, please don’t use this answer if this ever comes up during a job interview

wow

what a gamechanging plan of action. don’t catch on fire. Toko write that down

WOW

you guys. YOU GUYS. IT GOT BETTER

who could have known, years ago when the very first mangaka was drawing the very first gag panel, that this format would one day ascend to such lofty summits. who could have envisaged that we would one day behold such a showpiece, such a grand fucking slam of a joke panel in a shounen manga

anyway Horikoshi sure does love his English portmanteaus. I’m kind of stunned by how great this is you guys. but getting back to more serious observations, all I can say is thank fucking god somebody is actually thinking of the children! nothing terrible had better happen to them or I swear!!

so Fatgum is explaining that the plan was to have them use their respective quirks to help take out a bunch of bad guys at once, and that the grown-ups will now proceed to rope them all in and capture them. and dammit, I was trying to avoid having to post the panel because it takes forever if I post a lot of them, but I just noticed Mt. Lady over there stomping fools in the background and so now I have no choice

A+ chapter so far you guys. 5 stars. keep it up

one-and-a-half year-old Kaminari Denki has already fallen asleep. he wishes he could live there. I wish I had the words to adequately convey how utterly delighted I have been by this entire “everyone rides around in Fatgum’s belly” mini-arc, which is now my favorite part of the entire series (as always with the exception of “Dear Midoriya I’m really sorry”)

and I also just really love the timing of it?? right after the “here’s that angst you ordered” emotional sobfest of the last chapter, we’re taking a quick break to cut back to the Fatgum Express (excuse me, Fataxi) just to keep things from getting too heavy. this is such an important balance to strike. please don’t let this arc get too dark, Horikoshi

oh shit

right, Dabi?? but I’ve had an entire week to process my feelings about it and I’m more or less good now! how are you

not particularly great, then

and also, fuck. so Horikoshi was gracious enough not to show Twice’s murdered body even though he confirmed he was indeed killed (so apologies to anyone who was still holding out hope. it sucks but at least we’ve got closure). first he cuts off the bottom of the panel, and then he has Dabi literally cremate him on the fucking spot. there’s really going to be nothing left at all of him or any of the clones. I’m just gonna sit here and try not to think about that or else I’ll get sad all over again

anyway, so also Hawks’s wings have been totally incinerated now it looks like, and he’s just barely yeeting himself out of the way with whatever he’s got left

boy this is getting rough

love how Horikoshi is avoiding showing Dabi’s face!! that was sarcasm by the way because I don’t love it! he pulls this shit all the time with Bakugou too! show us their emotions dammit!

anyway. how kind of Dabi to stomp out Hawks’s flames for him like that. you see. they’re still friends

HOLY SHIT

APPARENTLY IT IS??? I GUESS WE ALL GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY LMAO. SOME PEOPLE GET SAD AND CRY AND OTHERS JUST GET REALLY SCARY AND CRAZY

like. not to nitpick or anything, but your tear glands are actually located above your eyes. maybe he means his tear ducts. also I’m not a doctor or anything and I can barely name like three bones actually so maybe I should just shut up!

anyways though, out of courtesy let’s just take Dabi at his word that grinning like a deranged lunatic is a perfectly normal response to watching your friend get murdered by your sexy archenemy. who is to say

and what exactly is your dream again? to make Stain’s will a reality or something like that? so purging the world of false heroes I guess?

DAMMIT DABI FIRE IS HIS WEAKNESS

most people would at least scream, wouldn’t they? Hawks??? does that not hurt??!

DSFKJSL:DKGHLSDKGHL

no!! I won’t be fooled!! Horikoshi and Dabi flashbacks is like Wile E. Coyote and painting a fake tunnel onto a cliffside! don’t be conned by his deceitful forced perspective!

LOL YOU SEE

apparently this man really will do anything to keep us from getting a Dabi flashback, even if that means giving us Hawks flashbacks instead lmao. WELL SHOOT. OH DARN. POOR US. WE’LL JUST HAVE TO SETTLE try not to look too happy guys he can sense satisfaction

anyway so here’s baby Hawks

okay, so -- does fandom still hate Hawks. like, I haven’t checked the bnha tag much since this weekend so I don’t know if the general consensus is still “yeah he’s cancelled” or if we’re cooling down at all yet? anyway so I apologize if liking Hawks is still A Wrong Thing To Do, but just fyi he’s still adopted and I haven’t unadopted him and I love him unconditionally even though he’s in timeout. and so now that Baby Hawks has appeared to rival all other Baby Characters (BABY YODA WATCH YOUR SIX!!) with his lil wings and his Endeavor plush and his quiet lil nodding head, I just need you all to know that I would die for him without hesitation and that’s just how it is friends

(ETA: also, jesus christ. “Keigo-kun, you can say goodbye to your name from now on!" I’m surprised they didn’t assign him a fucking number. what the fuck. time for some grueling training, lab rat #184. better get ready. jesus. he’s like 7.)

sdlkfjLSDGHOSIDFOIOOIIO

THE MAN THAT -- WHAT. WELL HOT DAMN, TAKAMI THEORISTS! GO ON AND GIVE YOURSELVES A BIG PAT ON THE BACK. YOU EARNED IT.

snap. gotta calm down. too much hype all of a sudden. easy does it

OH ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT’S IT??

noooo go back. fuck

and how the hell do you still have eyebrows, Hawks. how are you still even alive, let alone sexy. is fire your weakness?? is it really??! WELCOME TO BNHA THE MANGA WHERE ANYONE CAN SURVIVE ANYTHING. EXCEPT FOR BEING KILLED OFF-SCREEN AFTER WEEKS AND WEEKS OF BUILDUP

WHAT THE MONUMENTAL FUCK

HORIKOSHI WHERE ARE YOU I’M READY AND WILLING TO VIOLATE SOCIAL DISTANCING RIGHT NOW TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE SO COME ON

what the fuck. is this a Tarantino movie. or an Eminem song. anyway but we all know what he actually said though so let’s just scroll down and see how Hawks is going to take the news

oh my. I suddenly understand Dabi’s “grinning like a lunatic” reaction to witnessing a tragedy now. ohhhhhh that’s the good angst right there

so now Dabi says that if he wasn’t Hawks’s target in the beginning, then Hawks “would’ve been done for from the start”? ...what. lol what. am I just too tired to understand this you guys. I’m so confused

okay well I still have no fucking clue what that all meant but on the next panel he’s saying that Hawks shouldn’t have been focusing on Tomura or the League

is he suggesting that he has the power to bring down the hero system by revealing that he, the son of Endeavor, was made into a villain? am I reading into this right?

holy moses. I can’t believe this is really happening. this plotline is finally on the move oh my god I can’t even I’m getting way too excited I can’t??

HEY WHAT

well it matters to me you big melodramatic jerk!! don’t even pretend like you’re really gonna do it. I have zero fear of Hawks actually dying right now, not after that. there is way too much plot attached to him, gtfo with this fakeout shit

but more importantly, why the fuck are we cutting to Gigantomachia now oh shit. don’t tell me Fatgum got the babies out of there just in time

FUCK ME I NEARLY SCREAMED OUT LOUD

HE CAN BE ACTIVATED BY THE RECORDING OF AFO!! SOMEONE HAS THE FUCKING ON SWITCH IN THEIR HANDS OH SHIT, THERE’S THE DISASTER WE WERE ALL FUCKING WAITING FOR RIGHT THERE

WE’RE CUTTING BACK TO MIRUKO NOW??? CAN THIS CHAPTER GET ANY MORE HYPE MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS

let the bodies hit the floor let the bodies hit the floor let the bodies hit the floor let the bodies hit the [deep breath] FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO --

OH NO!?

okay like any reasonable person I am very concerned by the implications of this. and yet a part of me just wants to focus entirely on the “AM I GETTING TIRED AFTER LOSING AN ARM AND A SHITLOAD OF BLOOD AND FIGHTING FIVE NOUMUS ALL BY MYSELF FOR LIKE AN HOUR? ...NAH.” you’re absolutely right Miruko that would be ridiculous

ARE YOU SERIOUS

either she’s about to die and she knows it, or SHE WAS JUST TOYING WITH THEM WHAAAAT. I genuinely don’t even know which it is?? but it better not be the former and it absolutely is the latter though

GOSH DARN THAT MIRUKO

THERE SHE GOES. MY CZARINA

excuse me did this guy just fucking impale her

SHE ONLY HAS THE ONE GOOD HAND LEFT LIKE CAN YOU PLEASE. can you fucking not, though?! and also I forgot that being impaled through the torso is another thing in this series that’s actually fatal. well fuck

(ETA: also he ripped out her hair!! look here you piece of shit I’m gonna --)

lmao but yeah, somehow

Horikoshi. if you kill off your one cool strong top ten female hero character. just so you know. I will. ...you know what, just don’t do it, how about that. just don’t

ohhhhhh I might be about to get really mad you guys. we’ll see. we’lllllll see

SON OF A BITCH

GODDAMMIT, OBVIOUSLY TOMURA CAN’T FUCKING DIE SO WHY DON’T YOU FUCK OFF WITH THIS ENTIRE SCENARIO YOU’RE PRESENTING TO US RIGHT NOW HORIKOSHI, HOW ABOUT THAT. fuck everything I can’t believe chapter 267 page 16 was the last page of the entire manga you guys. tell me I’m reading way too much into this

ffffff

you literally had the perfect chapter. Fataxi!! Baby Hawks!! censored Touya reveals!! why would you go and. ...

I knew it was a mistake reading past that amazing color page you guys

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD I DIDN’T SCREAM BUT I SAID “HA HA!” OUT LOUD?!

-- AND AGAIN!!!!!

YOU WANT SOME??? YOU WANT SOME?!?!

FUCK YES. EXCUSE ME WHILE I CRACK OPEN THE WINDOW AND SHOUT SOME EARNEST “WOOOOOOO!!”S DOWN UNTO THE CONFUSED STREETS BELOW

y’all. I was this close to cancelling every damn thing. you don’t even know. my god I think I was grinding my teeth there

“you know what this manga has had quite enough of as of last week? tragic deaths! you know what it has not had nearly enough of? dramatic last minute saves! you know what it hasn’t had any of? TOKOYAMI VERSUS DABI, A.K.A. YOUR NEW FAVORITE MATCH-UP OF ALL TIME, YOU’RE FUCKING WELCOME.” geez. calm down Horikoshi. be cool man be cool

you guys. it was almost perfect, and then it wasn’t, and then it very much was. my god. how did I not see that Tokoyami save coming with all that buildup in hindsight. clearly he saw the fire on page four and was all “oh no! his weakness”

only thing is. it’s yours too, bud. :/ don’t think I’ve forgotten how this all played out during the forest arc. and meanwhile on top of that we’ve got Gigantomachia about to have the rudest of awakenings. goddammit. why is everything so dangerous and so awesome thanks I love it but geez

#bnha 267 #dabi #hawks #tokoyami fumikage #miruko #bnha #boku no hero academia #bnha spoilers #mha spoilers #bnha manga spoilers #makeste spoiler recap #makeste reads bnha #plot twist he wasn't actually revealing his name in that panel #he was just unleashing a tirade of vicious cursing #that's why hawks looks so shocked afterwards #really touya #this is a kid's manga

A list of things I’ve been feeling

I need to text my friends

Start getting gifts organized for Christmas

Wedding guest stress shouldn’t be a thing but for me it is

Fingers on hips, an arm wrapped around my body, head on my shoulder

My PDE teacher is really nice. Everyday, multiple times during the lesson she will explain exactly what we went over in the past five minutes again and ask “is everyone okay” and if she sees the slightest bit of discomfort she will try to make her explanation different. I think she cut her hair this past weekend and sometime into the lesson, she went to her bag to get a hair tie to put it back. And put her hair back while still explaining stuff. And I wanted to laugh because when she returned to to board, I looked at her wrists and saw there was already a hair tie there.

It made me remember that the only crush or somewhat crush I had on a teacher was for my pre cal teacher. Never told anyone that

Missing you months have become missing you days have become missing you moments have become quick distract myself and not think about it

Shaved my head the right way the way I needed it to be last Sunday. That contributes to wg stress

Hurtling towards the big break leaves me feeling apprehensive. Scared. Excited. Nervous. Twitchy. H m m

Tired of wanting to be a pretty girl, ready to be a feral squirrel

I SWEAR my hair is just dying on my body wtffff

Not being sorry that I detached from the people/situation where I felt myself performing

Jealous of your stickers

My neck hurts. Still

I really couldn’t answer questions about your not-yet/not-quite boyfriend that night. Y’all just needed to talk and all I could do was listen. I love you but my feedback is shit

That stupid stupid stage. I hope the parents revolt.

When Carly said I wish we could be holding hands

The fact that I love the look of this black sports bra I have and how it looks like a binder. Another big h m

Maybe I won’t call my bank to fix that thing? I don’t want to deal with and and the longer I wait maybe the weirder it gets

Okay back on bras I love them. I never say it (who?? Would I say it to) and I know they’re just glorified pieces of fabric but. Girls. In lace. Pretty.

Call me before you FaceTime me gdi and don’t add me to a call you were already on when I was only ready to have a conversation with you. Dark Snapchat streaks are so gen z. Ugh I want to stay in this friendship but I’m upset more often than not. Let’s talk about it but our families and acquaintances are too intertwined huh and you always breach some privacy boundaries.

Fics where they’re just making out after lots mutual pining and an awkward confession and first kiss ffff I’ll eat that for breakfast please

Opening fruit snacks in the quiet study areas is the worst part of my day

I legitimately haven’t hung out with a group of people my age since September. And one of the members of the group was a cat, he counts

Wearing my old glasses and seeing better

Watching all of the Lotr movies while I do math on sundays is a very good choice

Me and my sisters Walmart runs are making me more inclined to eat junk

Writing that one thing but I hit a block. I want it done by this Sunday

Denying myself of buying a new charger bc I want to go in the morning when no ones at the store but I can’t get myself to drive there

Denying myself of buying new glasses

Needing to go to the dentist cause its time that I make those appointments myself

My dog got a haircut and he’s so cute but it’ll only last for a couple more days then he’s back to scruffy leech mode

O. kay that’s it

Not really a list anymore. More of a mantra. This has been cathartic thanks for tuning in. This took an hour of my break, time to go to class.

#merry go rants

Easy Money: Part IV

» Summary: Jungkook is not sure if you changed your ways.

» Pairing: Jungkook/ Reader

» Genre: smut

» Words: 2.8k

» Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

» m.list ╫ bts masterlist

Spring break was finally over and you had to sadly sulk through the halls along with your broken friendship. The four of you were still hanging together but there was an awkward tension between you and Cas. Should you be the bigger person? Or hold your ground?

"This is stupid. We've been friends since the 3rd grade." Jae started first as the rest of you just looked at your food. "Please. We will be separating soon anyway and the last thing I want happening is all to fall apart and never speak to each other again."

"You're right Jae." You started. "I'm sorry for pushing you at the party and yelling at you. I just had all my emotions bottled up inside and I just exploded."

"If we did anything to upset you, you're suppose to tell us (Y/N). That's what friends do, be honest with each other." Cas spoke up.

"I know."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know I was pressuring you into doing things, you seemed like you were having fun."

"I was....in the beginning. But my mom was right. My behavior is starting to get out of control and I was just making everyone upset." You sighed.

"So lets just pretend this never happened then?" Jen cheered.

"Agreed." You smiled.

"Sorry we got you fired." Cas said again.

"It's okay. I'm just lucky Jungkook is a forgiving person." You pursed your lips.

"So how are things going with him?" Jae asked.

"Good." You smiled. "He's so sweet."

The bell rang signaling you to get up.

"So are you dating now?" Taehyung asked his friend.

"I'm not sure to be honest." Jungkook sighed. "I think she likes me though."

"Well you slept together so that means something."

"I know but she really puts her self out there and I'm just nervous I'm just another play by play."

"You need to talk to her then. You said she's done with the party scene." Taehyung spoke.

"I know. But she'll be going off to college soon and I'll still be stuck here. She'll probably end things anyway."

Jungkook likes you more then he wanted. The connection you had with him over the weekend was sweet and magical but he's afraid you won't change over night.

....

"Jungkook." His mother greeted at the door with a suitcase. "I need to go to Busan for a few days."

"Why what's wrong?" He asked concerned.

"Your grandfather had a heart attack." She said worried.

"Will he be okay?"

"I don't know." She grabbed her bag. "I just need you to bring Yuna to school tomorrow morning and pick her up and then I should be home Sunday."

"And if you need any help, (Y/N) only lives down the road." She continued and left out the door. "I'll call you later."

"We're screwed." Mina said crossing her arms.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Jungkook looked at his little sister.

"Me and Yuna are going to starve." She sat on the couch grabbing the remote.

"I can cook.....a few things."

"No you can't, you burn everything." She rolled her eyes.

"Not true."

"Is."

Jungkook sighed. "I'll order pizza tonight." He went upstairs.

You looked down the hallway and saw Jungkook finally alone. He always had his friends attached to him which made you avoid him these past few days.

"Hey." You smiled as he closed his locker.

"Oh, hey." He couldn't get the conversation with his friends out of his mind. He wasn't sure if you actually changed.

"I'm almost 2 weeks free of cigarettes." You smiled feeling proud.

"Wow really?" He seemed surprised.

"Yes stupid. I told you I would." You pushed him gently.

As the halls became more empty, you took the moment to drag him into the janitors closet. It was dark so you hit the switch as the room still had a dim atmosphere. You were quick to bring your lips to his causing Jungkook to hold his breath.

You pulled his collar closer as he finally responded back and he placed his hands gently upon your hips like the gentleman he is. You wander your hand down his chest until you reached the buckle of his pants. You palmed him on the outside of his pants at a steady pace causing him to pull away.

"We can't do this here." He whispered.

"The janitor has like 5 different closets. I doubt he'll stumbled into this one." You kissed him again and went back to rubbing him quickly. You could feel his member get harder by the second. You placed your free hand on top of his and forced them to move lower in a more inappropriate place. He was too sweet for his own good and he knew you weren't gentle. He pulled away out of breath but continued kissing down your neck. You eyes rolled back letting the pleasure take hold. He was full erected by this point.

"What are you doing this weekend?" You asked suddenly.

"My moms away so I'll be babysitting." He leaning up to look at you.

"Need any help?"

"Well actually-" He was cut off from the door opening, pulling you apart in seconds and he quickly covered his bulge.

"You kids....get out of here." The janitor yelled and you were both quick out of the closet. "You're lucky I don't report you."

"See you later." You bit your lip and walking towards your class.

Jungkook exhaled deeply remembering what just happened. He couldn't read you but he loved every moment you gave him attention. Even if it was hidden inside a dusty old closet. He blushed walking back to class still feeling your touch. He had to think of other things to hide the evidence of what just happened.

You were way more experienced then him which made him nervous but on the other hand, he was excited.

"Everything go alright?" Jungkook spoke to his mother.

"Yeah, I just ordered pizza." He said as he seen you walk through his back door. He didn't invite your nor did he know you were coming over.

"There's plenty of food in the house Jungkook, don't spend all the money on take out." His mother said as you sat down next to him on the couch.

Mina was letting Yuna play some dumb video game on the computer in her room at the moment so it was pretty much quiet.

"I'm not much of a cook mom." You sat there bored and noticed the tear Jungkook had on his shirt. You brushed your fingers over just to look, which caused him to jump and grab your hand. You smirked from what he thought you were doing which made you more devious.

"Follow my recipe book." She said as he felt your hand unzip his jeans and reach inside.

"Okay." His voice became more unstable.

"And your grandfather is fine. He just needs lots of rest." His mother continued going on in conversation, no sign of stopping.

"Thank god." He tried to sound calm as you took him out of his jeans and started pumping him.

"Also you grandmother said she really misses you, she hasn't seen you since you were 14." His mother laughed. "We should plan a trip to visit."

"A-ah." He nodded even though she couldn't see. His words were limited as his mouth hung open from you leaning down, letting your mouth do the work.

"You alright Jungkook?" His mother asked.

"Um, yeah. Sorry my friends just pulled up." He lied.

"No friends over Jungkook. I want my home in one piece when I get back." You sucked faster and rougher.

"Ffff-" He tried not to moan. "I'll tell them to leave." His head leaned back on the couch.

"I'm not kidding, I'll even get the neighbor to check up on you." She demanded.

"I won't." He voice was more stern. You could feel the precum drip down his member as you continued pumping what couldn't fit into your mouth. "Can I hang up now?" He panicked over the phone.

"Jungkook." His mother said from his choice of words.

He bit his lip to try to not let any moans escape. When you brought your head back up you noticed how red his tip was that you knew he wasn't going to last long. You went back down bobbing your head in a rapid pace and he was trying to hold it in as much as possible.

"I'm sorry mom, I-I......really need to use the bathroom." He lied.

"Alright. I guess I'll talk to you later." She said as he painted heavy.

"Yeah. Bye." He hung up letting his phone drop down in between the cushions.

He leaned back more comfortable as he let you finish in more suitable atmosphere. He placed his hand on the back of your head causing you to pick up the pace more.

As he was getting closer to his high, he couldn't help the moans to finally escape. You rubbed your hand father down from the rest of his private area to stir up the release. He had one last thrust until he stopped weakly as he came undone. You lifted your mouth letting the liquid drip down the side. His breathing was heavy as he laid still on the couch. You smirked and leaned down cleaning up the mess.

Once you pulled away he was staring at you with an expression you couldn't read. "What are you doing here?" He said still out of breath.

"I wanted to hang out with you." You smiled and got up from the couch into the kitchen to clean your face.

Jungkook jumped and quickly put himself together as he heard singing from his little sister coming down the stairs. "Kookie, I'm hungry." Yuna said.

"Okay." He walked to the kitchen as saw you drinking a can of soda.

He grabbed a bag of animal crackers and went back to the living room to see his other sister on her way down.

"What are you doing down here?" Mina asked and Jungkook handed over the crackers.

"I was on the phone with mom." He answered.

"But I heard groans or something." She looked confused.

"Oh I aaa....stumped my toe on the table." He lied.

"Okay.....what's for dinner tonight?" She quickly changed the subject.

"I'm looking now." He said and headed back towards the kitchen as his sisters followed him.

"Oh hey." You greeted as they saw you.

"(Y/N)." Yuna ran over and hugged you.

Mina looked at you and then her brother as her confusion grew. "Did mom say she can come over?"

"Yes..." He said. "Can you cook?" He asked you.

"Yeah." You said cheerful. "What do you want?"

"Looks like I can make Samgyeopsal." You continued looking in the fridge.

"Okay, I approve." Mina said and walked away.

"Kookie, can you put on trolls?" Yuna asked.

"Kookie." You said with awe.

Jungkook glared and followed his sister to the living room.

"Can you cook for us tomorrow night also." Jungkook leaned over to pick up his sleeping sister.

"Sure." You smiled.

You followed him upstairs watching from the doorway of him tucking in his sister. Then he moved on to Minas room. "Hey lights out. It's midnight."

"Alright." She turned off her tv and began to get in her bed.

"Are you sleeping over or do you want me to walk you home?" Jungkook asked you.

"I don't know. This is really the only alone time I get with you in hours." You said with a pout.

"We can watch a movie in my room if you want." He suggested causing you to bite your lip.

"Sure."

"May I barrow some clothes." You said breaking the silence as he set the movie up.

"Yeah." He said shyly and went over to his dresser pulling out a pair of boxer shorts and a t-shirt.

You immediately threw off your shirt causing Jungkook to blush and even went in-depth to taking off your bra causing him to shy away.

"Sorry." You giggled. "I can't sleep in a bra." Then you began with your jeans.

As Jungkook was choosing the movie you made yourself comfortable in his bed waiting patiently. Once he was ready he only discarded his jeans leaving him in a t-shirt and boxers as well.

You laid their silent as the movie began until Jungkook turned to face you.

"What are we?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" You asked.

"Are we officially dating? We haven't gone out or told anyone."

"With school going on, I guess I never even realized." You admitted. "I have finals coming up and graduation."

"Wasn't sure if you were ashamed or..."

"Jungkook I'm not ashamed to go out with you. My friends know already. I'm not keeping it a secret or anything."

"But it's not exactly public either. I know it's weird because I'm younger then you-" He started but you cut him off.

"We're only a year apart. It's not a big deal." You giggled.

"I know but you'll be off to college soon and I'll still be in high school."

"Are you afraid that once I leave for school I'll forget about you?" You said surprised from his words.

"Honestly....yeah." He shrugged.

"I won't." You grabbed his hand. "I'm only going to school in the city. Can you handle a 20 minute drive?"

He didn't smile. He still felt worried. You being around more mature college boys, He was sure he was going to lose you.

"Jungkook. Its going to be okay. I will prove it to you, you'll see." You said tilting his head up. "Plus we still have 4 months together."

"Besides I've had my fair share of college boys, they suck." You smiled leaning in to kiss him passionately.

His kiss felt more desperately against your lips to your surprise. You can tell he was really hurting over this whole thing.

You leaned him down getting on top of him as you continued kissing him deeply. He was still being safe with his hands, not leaving your things.

You began to grind against him, stirring up tension. "Take this off." You said trying to catch your breath.

He did as he was told and pulled off his shirt so you can stare at his perfectly toned abs. "How does someone your age have a body like this." You bit your lip.

"I play a lot of sports." He said still being shy.

You just giggled and leaned back down kissing up and down his collar bone to his neck.

"Jungkook, stop being a gentleman." You said and went back to kissing him as you grabbed his hands and led them up your shirt so he can touch your chest.

You leaned back up and took off the shirt you were wearing to give him more access. You gyrated your hips against him as he played with your chest. You can feel his excitement underneath you causing you to smirk.

You moved down to take off his boxers as well as your own and you immediately grabbed his member guiding it in. You sat down comfortably and began to move your hips against him.

You combed your hair back as you bounced on him at a rapid pace as the pleasure took hold. The little squeaks from the bed worried Jungkook and hoped they didn't wake up his sisters.

"Fuck." You moaned softly.

You leaned down kissing his neck once again as he held on to your hips, causing him to thrust up into you quickly. His soft moans were driving you crazy.

Jungkooks eyes alerted to the hallway light turning on and the soft walks past his door to the next room over, which happened to be the bathroom.

"Fuck, we need to hurry." Jungkook panicked.

He quickly turned you over so he was on top and he thrusted into you as quick as he could. You bit down on his pillow to stop you from moaning as you were already coming undone. He was tired and once he started slowing down you knew he was ready. He thrusted against you weakly as his juices escaped him. He stopped and tried to catch his breath as he heard the bathroom door open.

He collapsed next to you, hoping one of his sisters don't enter and lucky the results was darkness once again.

"We shouldn't do this around them." He said.

"Nah, I think we just need more practice on how to be quiet." You smiled once last time as you eyes drifted off.

He held you tightly not letting go as you drifted off to sleep. He was falling in love with you, he knew that. But he still felt this wall in between you. A wall that scared him.

Business Kavanaugh’s answers in question as confirmation vote looms

Business Kavanaugh’s answers in question as confirmation vote looms Business Kavanaugh’s answers in question as confirmation vote looms http://www.nature-business.com/business-kavanaughs-answers-in-question-as-confirmation-vote-looms/

Business

(CNN)As the FBI wraps up its renewed background check into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the remaining undecided senators have only a few days left to decide if they are ready to approve his lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.

The prolonged process has generated more drama for Kavanaugh. This past week, old acquaintances came forward to dispute his testimony to Congress and Democrats accused the judge of lying under oath.

Two Republican swing votes on the nomination, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Jeff Flake of Arizona, have said they would oppose Kavanaugh if he lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee. If they both vote against his nomination, and all 49 Senate Democrats do the same, he could not be confirmed.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that it “

would not be acceptable

” if Kavanaugh had lied. The question remains whether the senators would be willing to overlook seemingly minor inaccuracies by Kavanaugh, and Trump could change his mind if it appears that there are enough votes to confirm.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for Kavanaugh. If he prevails, he could sit on the Supreme Court well into the 2040s. But if he goes down, his reputation could be tarnished as he continues hearing cases as a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. If Democrats retake the House of Representatives, they could pursue an investigation — or even impeachment — of Kavanaugh.

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee drilled down on some of these inconsistencies in their questioning of Kavanaugh last week. The nominee denies any wrongdoing and stands by his testimony. Lying to Congress is a federal crime, though it is rarely prosecuted.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the biggest questions surrounding Kavanaugh’s testimony.

The drinking age in Maryland

Kavanaugh testimony

On a few occasions, Kavanaugh insisted he was legally allowed to drink alcohol during his senior year in high school. “The drinking age, as I noted, was 18, so the seniors were legal, senior year in high school, people were legal to drink, and we — yeah, we drank beer,” Kavanaugh testified.

Reporting and analysis

Kavanaugh’s comments are factually inaccurate, according to

an Associated Press analysis

of the drinking laws where he went to high school. There was never a time when he could legally drink in Maryland as a high schooler, because he was 17 when the state raised its drinking age from 18 to 21 in July 1982.

Drinking habits as a young man

Kavanaugh testimony

Asked if he ever drank “to the point that you would have blacked out,” Kavanaugh replied “no.” He later said he sometimes fell asleep from drinking, but “never blacked out.” He also said, “I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out.”

Reporting and analysis

At least five of Kavanaugh’s classmates from Yale University have disputed his testimony.

One said Kavanaugh

was “blatantly lying” about drinking, and

another said the judge

“has not told the truth” about blacking out.

His freshman year roommate at Yale, James Roche,

said, “I saw him both what I would consider blackout drunk and also dealing with the repercussions of that in the morning.”

Others said they couldn’t confirm

blackouts but often saw Kavanaugh in an extreme state of drunkenness. Still,

some of Kavanaugh’s other friends

from his youth said they never saw him blacked out from alcohol.

Social circles in high school

Kavanaugh testimony

Kavanaugh testified that he and Christine Blasey Ford, the California professor who has accused him of sexual assault, “did not travel in the same social circles” in high school. He said he does “recall her name” and that “it is possible that we met at some point at some events, although I do not recall that.”

Reporting and analysis

Ford testified that her friend group “intersected” with Kavanaugh and his friends “for a short period of time” during high school. She also said she “went out with” one of Kavanaugh’s close friends, Chris Garrett, nicknamed Squi. Garrett appears several times in Kavanaugh’s calendar from summer 1982.

Controversial yearbook entries

Kavanaugh testimony

Democratic lawmakers peppered Kavanaugh with questions about apparent sexual references in his high school yearbook. He claimed that “boofed” was a term to describe flatulence. He said “Devil’s Triangle”

was a drinking game

. He also said “FFFF” was an inside joke about Squi’s stutter.

Reporting and analysis

Kavanaugh’s explanations were met with skepticism from Democratic senators and by people who remember that many of these terms were commonly associated with sexual acts in the 1980s and beyond. Some of Kavanaugh’s

classmates told The New York Times

that his explanations didn’t check out.

‘Bart O’Kavanaugh’ moniker

Kavanaugh testimony

Kavanaugh’s friend Mark Judge wrote a book about his struggle with alcoholism. In it, Judge described a friend named Bart O’Kavanaugh who once drank so much that he vomited in a car and “passed out.” Kavanaugh testified that he believes Judge “picked out names of friends” for the book but would not say if he was the person Judge was referencing. “You’d have to ask him,” he said.

Reporting and analysis

It’s unclear whether Kavanaugh is the character in the book and if the incident was real or fictionalized. But Kavanaugh signed his name as “Bart” in a letter he wrote to his friends in June 1983 about an upcoming party weekend at the beach,

according to The New York Times.

Hackaday Superconference Badge Hacking

At the Hackaday Superconference this year Blaine and I finally decided to try our hand at a conference badge puzzle. The cambadge was introduced a month before the conference with the source code following shortly after so you you could prepare hack ideas and even start prototyping shields and addons. In their words:

It’s a camera. It has games, and it’s designed by [Mike Harrison] of Mike’s Electric Stuff. He designed and prototyped this badge in a single weekend. On board is a PIC32 microcontroller, an OV9650 camera module, and a bright, crisp 128×128 resolution color OLED display.

There would be prizes for best hardware hack, best app hack and even a film fest prize. But most importantly, there was also a puzzle prize. The puzzle firmware was implemented by Mike Szczys with the ciphers being developed by Jeff Rosowski (Krux).

Navigating to the puzzle menu revealed three options in binary, 00, 01, 10.

00 was some graphical 'game', 01 appeared to be a reciting of the hacker's manifesto, and 10 was a ouija board. That's all the information we were given.

PUZZLE 00

We halfheartedly played with the 00 puzzle while trying to be social during the pre party and started to put together a ruleset. A green cursor could be moved around an 8x8 grid by tilting the accelerometer. One button seemed to ‘place’ a red circle under the cursor. Further placements that shared a row (vertically, horizontally or diagonally) would light up the row in orange.

This was presumably a failure scenario but it was puzzling that we still had control of the cursor. A very jetlagged Scotty from StrangeParts got six placements before giving it up and handing it back, suggesting to google it or write a script to solve it. We finally figured out the failure screen allows you to remove a failed placement and continue the game. This allowed us to put down a random six placements and continue taking back movements until we had all eight which went surprisingly quickly. In just a few minutes and roughly five take backs we had "Winner Winner!" printed on screen.

Suspiciously, the menu screen also now has a set of hieroglyphic symbols under the 00 menu item. In googling later, we’d find out later this is a Queens Puzzle and we got a bit lucky. Theres 92 possible solutions but our methodology is called iterative repair and does not guarantee a solution.

PUZZLE 10

We talked to John Dahan who won last year by using the strings command on the binary to find the success email to skip all puzzles. Strings is a common utility that prints all ascii characters it can find in a binary. We talked to Mike who said that wasn't going to work this year, but were were undeterred. Before even bothering to understand the puzzle ruleset we just started looking at the scrubbed source and production hex file. The source was definitely missing the puzzles, though we did get a dist folder with intact elf files. That could come in very handy and also means we don’t have to install MPLAB-X IDE ide to generate it myself. The .hex file was strange though. Generally .hex are intel hex format, ie ascii hex code representation with checksumming, but this was a binary. We wasted a bunch of time here remembering obj-copy stuff, only to realize we weren’t gaining anything and this was indeed a binary we could utilize as is. Running “strings Badge103.hex” output the results in this gist.

After entering eight letters into ouija board the screen reads “What was that?” and appears to tell you which letters you had right by “X”ing out incorrect letters.

This would be super easy in retrospect, but hacking was way more fun. We searched the strings list for “What was that” hoping to find any suspicious text around it.

$ strings Badge103.hex | grep -A 5 "What was that"

What was that?

HACKADAY

MARKUSHESS

None

Not found

Read Err

HACKADAY is indeed eight characters which when entered was answered with “The planchette moves by itself:” and the code “PNIRHJZYL GSIXDF WFDNXJF JH CZDRI.”

Too lazy to bother cracking the cipher we entered “MARKUSHESS.” Though we still have no idea how to crack this code, Markus was the hacker from Clifford Stoll’s The Cuckoo's Egg so we weren’t surprised to receive an egg image.

We were subsequently kicked back out to the puzzle menu now with more symbols.

PUZZLE 01

The puzzle consists of twenty-seven lines of the Hacker’s Manifesto where you must scroll each line left or right to read it on the tiny screen. For some reason the cursor always starts at the fourth line which seems odd. At the bottom there is a list of twenty-seven negative and positive numbers with a four alpha character input to presumably complete the puzzle.

It seems obvious that the list of numbers maps to the lines of the manifesto. We looked to see if aligning the rows might spell a question in far right or left column that we could answer with four characters, but couldn't see anything obvious.

It was a huge pain to click buttons and invariably the badge would turn off or we’d get distracted and lose our place. We glanced through the strings dump for anything that might make sense for puzzle 10, but didn't see anything this time. As the party was ending we spent time running down mysterious QR codes that showed up around the venue thinking they could be related somehow, but were thrown out before we could get more than a few.

Later we woudl find there was a (seperate) prize that unlocked on the badge if you scanned all ten of the mysterious QR codes sprinkled throughout the venues.

The next day we were bored looking at puzzles and wanted to do more reverse engineering. I've been looking for a reason to get better with Radare forever. Radare lets you snoop through binaries, disassemble them, rebuild the function graph, and even edit the code in place! So not unlike a crackme, we could presumably find the code that prints Winner, backtrace to find the branching instruction that decides success, and hardcode it to so that when we enter the game it gives us the winner screen. TLDR feel free to skip this section as we didn’t get anywhere, but we would love guidance to be better at this for the next conference.

HUGE DIVERSION AHEAD

Radare has a bit of a learning curve, as described by a slide from a recent talk from the founding developer, pancake.

We can open our binary file in Radare and analyze it for functions, printing the results.

$ r2 -a mips -e asm.bits=32 Badge103.hex

That’s what we’re supposed to see! We can even visualize a complete call graph.

But remember, we know this has all our puzzles stripped so there won’t be much to see here. What we want is this view in our puzzle inclusive binary. Why doesn't our binary ‘hex’ file load cleanly into Radare? Presumably the elf file has a bunch of debug info like sections and entry point (reset vector) to help set up Radare automatically which we don’t understand how to do manually. So how do we help it? In our production dist files we also have a .map file that has the function names and addresses in it. There we find the reset address

.reset 0x9d009000 0x1e4 484 Reset handler

And from cambadge.X.production.elf we can get the entry point(reset vector) to confirm

[0x9d009000]> ie

[Entrypoints]

vaddr=0x9d009000 paddr=0x00009000 baddr=0x9d000000 laddr=0x00000000 haddr=0x00000018 type=program

1 entrypoints

[0x9d009000]>

And we can print the hexdump of the binary code at that location

Back to our puzzle inclusive binary code, Let’s search for that reset vector bytecode “0224 400f” as that shouldn't have changed even with puzzles stripped out:

Found it! Maybe we can shift our 0x00000e80 address by 0x9D008180 so it becomes 0x9d009000 and Radare has more success analyzing functions? This is where we gave up though. Anyone reading this please reach out if you can help us understand Radare better for the next conference.

Back on track

A day lost, we went back to solving it the honest way -- sort of. Blaine wasn’t even an official attendee so we were having to share a badge. Since we were armed with the strings dump of the manifesto text and list of integes we turned to node to script something to print the columns so we could maybe see what we couldn’t see with our own eyes.

Still, nothing looked right and we went down a hundred other rabbit holes that didn't work out, all the while begging Krux and Mike for any guidance. Finally when the conference ceremony was just hours away Krux helped us find our script had an off by one error. With that fixed it turns out all this time a middle column read “realbunniehuanghardwarehack” Bunnie was perhaps first known for hacking the xbox. “Winner Winner!”

A Fourth Puzzle

Now we had a third set of hieroglyphs and “[email protected]”. To be fair we saw this email in the strings earlier, so we're pretty sure we'd be seeing it again. But what were these glyphs?

Several, especially the last one sure looks like unicode but we couldn’t find many of the rest. We spent a lot of time on that before asking Krux who didn't seem interested in that line of reasoning. We decided to do a transposition arbitrarily to the english alphabet just to play with the characters. Transposing the first character to a, and so one, we got “abcde fgahidjkclefg gmgce ccgcm nkeopfi” There were only 16 distinct 'letters', with c, g, and e being highest in frequency. However this tiny subset of text just doesn't lend to any kind of frequency analysis. We spent a lot of time thinking the spaces were useful and that “ccgcm” would be an odd word with double repeated starting letter. Llama didn’t seem likely, but you never know. We looked at brute forcing rot, morse and other symbol alphabets but didn’t come up with anything that worked before we finally ran out of time.

During the badge ceremony one other team had apparently also got this far and was awarded some cash for their efforts. Mike and Krux spoiled the last puzzle on stage, it's apparently the Commander Keen, Standard Galactic Alphabet. When translated it reads: “PRESTONPLUSWHEATONNINETEENEIGHTYFOUR” which is a Last Starfighter reference. Presumably emailing “Last Starfighter” to [email protected] would have won us the that sweet $256 prize.

Next time

Huge thanks to everyone involved at Superconference. It was a crazy lineup of amazing speakers. It was also awesome to see so much money given away to the Hackaday prize entrants I had been bumping into all weekend. Huge thanks to Mike and Krux for getting us to commit to a badge puzzle for the first time and for helping us through to the (very) end.
