You’re pretty much drained the moment you arrive at your place.

Sighing heavily, you punch in the passcode and almost feel your knees buckling at the sight of the interior of your apartment when the door opens.

It feels like it’s been so long since you’ve been here, and coupled with the discussion that you had with Doyeon two days ago, everything suddenly feels overstimulating and there’s a certain burn at the sides of your eyes that urges you to cry. 

Swallowing the lump in your throat, you breathe in and out as you enter the threshold, noting the fact that anybody is not home. Or Jungkook isn’t present anywhere in the living room. You’re a bit grateful for that if you have to be honest to yourself – after all, the last time that you talked to him, it did not exactly go as well as you’d like. 

He could be in his room, though. That’s what you assume as you go straight over to the kitchen in hopes to heat up the take-out that you bought at the driveway. But the to-go container from Chipotle at the island catches your attention, as well as the laptop that is left open beside it. 

So Jungkook is home. 

The question is, where could he possibly be, leaving out his stuff here in the kitchen? Might be in his bedroom to grab something real quick? 

You don’t mean to do the next thing that comes to your mind, but your feet – your stupid feet – track back from the microwave to the island, and your eyes betray you as they go look and read the words on Jungkook’s macbook. 

The tab that's left open shows an apartment listing website, and the following tabs beside it are some familiar real-estate names you’ve come to visit on the internet before when you were looking for a place yourself.

It makes you freeze in your spot, eyes glued to the daunting images of the apartment layout that Jungkook must’ve clicked on awhile ago, and you take note that he’s seemingly, specifically, looking for one-bedroom and studio apartments. 

Your mind goes into a sudden haywire at the sight. 

What does this mean? 

“Oh, hey,”

The embodied voice makes your head snap to its direction, and you see Jungkook standing in front of you in his sweats and shirt – his usual home clothes – with a charger in his hand. 

“Jungkook.” You say, or more like, breathe out. There's a heavy feeling that sits in your heart when you look at his face – but most of all, it beats a little above normal.

But Jungkook looks just as surprised as you. 

“I… I didn’t know you’re coming ho– back.” He says, and you feel a sudden twinge inside that you ignore when you caught him pointedly avoiding the word home when pertaining to your place. Somehow, it felt intentional.

But you give him a smile. Probably a weak one. Probably doesn’t really look like a smile at all and more like a grimace.

If Jungkook notices, he doesn’t say anything. Just goes straight to the direction of the high chairs on the island and plug in his charger on his laptop. 

Then, he turns to look at you. “Uh.. you just got off from your shift?” 

“Uhm, yeah. You too?” You say, nibbling your bottom lip with your teeth. A nervous habit. 

“Nah, got off a few hours ago.” 

“Oh. Okay.” 

“Yeah.” 

You nod your head. You stand there for a while, letting the silence that’s admittedly awkward hang in the air. 

It’s weird, really. Jungkook and you usually have a lot to say to each other – but right now, there doesn’t seem to be a single thing that you can bring up.

There's a certain kind of melancholy in the case. 

“Well, uhm. That’s Zillow.” You say, pointing to his laptop. The moment the words left your lips you swear you could have slapped yourself. 

How stupid to ask him about it. How incredibly stupid for that thing to be your choice of topic after weeks of no proper communication with him. 

Jungkook seems just as taken aback by this, though, turning his head immediately to look at his laptop. There’s a slight jerk in his movements when he glides his fingers across the trackpad that closes the entire window of the internet and shows his PC wallpaper instead. 

“Oh. Yeah. That was… Zillow.” 

Stupid, stupid you makes everything even more awkward when you say, “You’re looking for a place?” 

Jungkook stares at you for awhile. There’s a pregnant pause, and then he nods his head. A bit hesitant. But his voice is full when he speaks. 

“Yeah.” 

So he’s moving out. That’s what you think as you avoid looking at his face, letting your gaze fall back on his laptop.

You give him a small smile. 

“Ah. Good luck with the search, then.”

Your hope you hide the way your heart completely breaks when you say the words.

What crimes has your oc committed, and which one was the worst?

this is so hard to answer bc i dont think i can say anything funnier than "annie killed and ate someone" um. no lets talk about leah. she has like superpowers that she hasnt told anyone about (bc the effects of it are similar to that of a deadly virus that is mutating people beyond recognition) which is doubly illegal bc not only does she have unregistered powers but she is technically a government worker researching the disease and having her powers (+ trying to use them to heal people when they still dont know what that could do) is definitely something she would be like. super arrested for. shes also definitely killed people (purposefully or not) bc she doesnt have an innate understanding of how her powers work and how to use them.

as for what id say is the worst... this is hard to answer which is why i chose her to talk about LOL people who have powers needing to be registered is something i definitely would want to show as like... bad? and shes ultimately using the resources available to her to try and help people because (you would assume) her powers being so similar to the effects of the disease would mean she has something to do with it, or at least would be a key resource in understanding it + finding a cure/solution to the situation (not saying she is or isnt i actually havent really worked it out that far) but again she definitely has hurt people with her powers and while im undecided on it SO FAR her use of her powers on people with the virus has done little in way of curing them, only providing superficial "fixes" (shes able to undo the mutations but the underlying illness + eventual death of those with it is not something she knows how to fix)

[mummer]

my one single barry finale prediction is that he's gonna get off scot free survive and become very successful lol. he's gonna be on top

[piplupod]

banging my head against a wall (not really yet lmao)

my mother has gotten really into this one youtuber that my brother loves (healthygamergg) and i have a couple issues w this guy from when i watched some of his stuff

anyways she sent me this video of his about brain fog and THE ENTIRE FUCKING THIRTY MINUTE VIDEO IS JUST "eat healthy, get exercise, sleep well"

DAMN WOW IF ONLY EVERY OTHER DOCTOR IN THE WORLD WAS SUGGESTING THAT PPL DO THAT. ITS ALMOST LIKE THATS NOT ALL THERE IS TO IT. almost like that doesnt fucking cure some people !!!

[c-nstellati-ns]

Now y'all got me wondering if godlike reader managed to make it through everything that led to stone ocean era or is part 3 lore is where we gonna stop at?

And I'm so intrigued about this whole thing that I'm trying to figure out what powers or how far reader's strength goes.....I blame you and the anons 😒💙

i do think that reader was more on the sidelines regarding dio and part 3– so he’d heed your words as guidance to try and reach heaven with any means necessary. he def indoctrinates pucci to turn to you and achieve heaven to reach you if he fails, and you’re just watching this all amused LMFAO,,, sorry im really enjoying all y’all’s thoughts on this !!

When I was in vet school I went to this one lecture that I will never forget. Various clubs would have different guest lecturers come in to talk about relevant topics and since I was in the Wildlife Disease Association club I naturally attended all the wildlife and conservation discussions. Well on this particular occasion, the speakers started off telling us they had been working on a project involving the conservation of lemurs in Madagascar. Lemurs exist only in Madagascar, and they are in real trouble; they’re considered the most endangered group of mammals on Earth. This team of veterinarians was initially assembled to address threats to lemur health and work on conservation solutions to try and save as many lemur species from extinction as possible. As they explored the most present dangers to lemurs they found that although habitat loss was the primary problem for these vulnerable animals, predation by humans was a significant cause of losses as well. The vets realized it was crucial for the hunting of lemurs by native people to stop, but of course this is not so simple a problem.

The local Malagasy people are dealing with extreme poverty and food insecurity, with nearly half of children under five years old suffering from chronic malnutrition. The local people have always subsisted on hunting wildlife for food, and as Madagascar’s wildlife population declines, the people who rely on so-called bushmeat to survive are struggling more and more. People are literally starving.

Our conservation team thought about this a lot. They had initially intended to focus efforts on education but came to understand that this is not an issue arising from a lack of knowledge. For these people it is a question of survival. It doesn’t matter how many times a foreigner tells you not to eat an animal you’ve hunted your entire life, if your child is starving you are going to do everything in your power to keep your family alive.

So the vets changed course. Rather than focus efforts on simply teaching people about lemurs, they decided to try and use veterinary medicine to reduce the underlying issue of food insecurity. They supposed that if a reliable protein source could be introduced for the people who needed it, the dependence on meat from wildlife would greatly decrease. So they got to work establishing new flocks of chickens in the most at-risk communities, and also initiated an aggressive vaccination program for Newcastle disease (an infectious illness of poultry that is of particular concern in this area). They worked with over 600 households to ensure appropriate husbandry and vaccination for every flock, and soon found these communities were being transformed by the introduction of a steady protein source. Families with a healthy flock of chickens were far less likely to hunt wild animals like lemurs, and fewer kids went hungry. Thats what we call a win-win situation.

This chicken vaccine program became just one small part of an amazing conservation outreach initiative in Madagascar that puts local people at the center of everything they do. Helping these vulnerable communities of people helps similarly vulnerable wildlife, always. If we go into a country guns-blazing with that fire for conservation in our hearts and a plan to save native animals, we simply cannot ignore the humans who live around them. Doing so is counterintuitive to creating an effective plan because whether we recognize it or not, humans and animals are inextricably linked in many ways. A true conservation success story is one that doesn’t leave needy humans in its wake, and that is why I think this particular story has stuck with me for so long.

Ah, man. I was looking forward to doing so much stuff this fall but now we're stuck at home until spring basically 😔

[toastsnaffler]

I love to talk but I rly do feel like we have to be talking for a minimum of 8 hours straight before I feel like I can even begin to rly broach things on my mind or that have been bothering me a lot that I actually want to talk abt without being vague or deflecting or omitting or lying and if the conversation takes a break at any point it resets back to 0 and its still nice regardless but.

anyways i feel like im pacing the confines of my little zoo cage. ive already read everything in the v1/v2 tag on ao3, some of them several times. half of the works are smut. fucking help. the latest work in that tag is me and i dont want to reread my own fics

[championsofmyheart]

spamming out my ideas for my take home final exam/paper for my myth analysis course and i think its finally sinking in that like. unbiased objective textual analysis is like. hard for people? idk might be a grew up christian and is one no longer might be a enjoys reading meta analyses on content i enjoy thing but its genuinely so easy for me to look at the texts were given in class like babylonian canaanite mesopotamian hebrew myths whatever and be like ok what are the authors intentions here why did they write this. what are the sociopolitical factors that happened at the time of writing that led to this text being the way it is. and i guess based off the questions people would ask in class (mostly just a lot of variations on "but why would god do this") it seems like thats. hard for people. idk where im going with this but um. something something christianity is so engrained in our culture that even people that don't consider themselves christians can't escape from its understanding of god. not me tho im better slash jay
