GTFO (2019, 10 Chambers)

I absolutely love the atmosphere and lore of this game so much.

[chrisredfield73]

Hey hello ! Hope you're doing well !

Can I request a Payday fic (or headcanons if you prefer those) about Wolf feeling down (I haven't thought of a reason, maybe he's just stressed, idk) and being comforted by the reader/one of the guys ? So, something a little angsty, that turns into tons of fluff. Bonus points if there's some crying and hugs/cuddles. This guy deserves so much love.

If you do it, thanks so much ! And take care ! :D

A/N: I love the scrunkle, everyone keep sending Wolf requests, I beg!! (Also pls send like.. Sydney, Hoxton and Jacket requests too omgomgomgmgomgom)

I had to do WolfHox. Sorry not sorry. I can do one with reader if you want another version.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Wolf sighs. Of course their heist had to go wrong. He sits in his room, away from the others, and stares off into space. He’s completely stressed out. He doesn’t want to bother anyone with his feelings, especially since they’re stressed out too. He’s stressed out because they didn’t make it out with the money, Clover got injured, and he just misses his family that he left behind many years ago. He lets out a low, frustrated and incoherent grumble before curling up in his bed.

Everything is taking a toll on him now and he doesn’t know why. He’s fairly open about his feelings but it feels like he’s been bottling them up for a while. When was the last time he ranted to someone? He doesn’t even remember. He wraps his arms around himself and slowly drifts off to sleep, thinking about all the things that have kept him up and feeling stressed. 

He wakes up a few hours later to the sound of his door opening. It’s dark outside now and the lack of light in his room at the moment makes it seem even darker. He’s still groggy when someone shuts the door and walks over to his bed before laying down next to him. Wolf lets out a groggy, “Hm?” and turns to look at the person. He can faintly make out who it is.. It’s Hoxton. Hoxton smiles a little and wraps his arms around Wolf. “Hey.. It’s just me, you’re okay.” Wolf relaxes almost immediately and leans into Hoxton’s touch. 

Hoxton and Wolf are both silent for a long while before Hoxton speaks up. “You doing okay, Ulf?” He knew Wolf was stressed. He always knew when Wolf was, since he wasn’t distant unless he was stressed and overthinking. Wolf shakes his head, tears welling up in his eyes. He can’t form any words, his mouth feels dry. He opts to turning towards Hoxton and buries his face in the British man’s chest, letting out a quiet sob. Hoxton is.. Surprised, to say the least. He quickly recovers and rubs Wolf’s back softly, “It’s okay.. Let it all out.”

Wolf finally finds the strength to speak. He rambles in between sobs, nearly incoherent and he hiccups and speaks quickly about all the things that have been stressing him out in the past month. Hoxton listens, still just rubbing Wolf’s back to comfort the Swede. When Wolf finishes his heartbreaking rambles, Hoxton presses a gentle kiss to his forehead. He speaks so quietly and softly, trying his hardest to comfort Wolf, “There you go.. It’s all going to be okay, Ulf. You’re doing so well and I’m glad you’re still here.” Wolf soon calms down as Hoxton whispers sweet nothings in his ear.

Hoxton feels the Swedish man relax in his arms and pulls him closer. They soon drift off to sleep together, Wolf being the first to fall asleep. Hoxton sighs contentedly, whispering against Wolf’s temple. “Goodnight, Ulf.. I love you.” He soon falls asleep as well, still holding Wolf tightly yet gently, as the stars begin to burn brighter in the dark, night sky.

Maybe telling someone about the things that are stressing you isn’t so bad after all.. Especially when they love you more than you could ever know.

Sueños (Kvinnödrom, Ingmar Bergman, 1955)

Susanne (Eva Dahlbeck) y Doris (Harriet Andersson) son como la noche y el día, la veteranía y la juventud, la sabiduría y la inocencia, y sin embargo ambas coincidirán en un viaje a Goteborg donde seremos testigos de sus desencuentros amorosos. Como siempre en el cine del director sueco, sentimientos a flor de piel y una disección psicológica extrema de los personajes, con el culmen en esa brillante secuencia cercana al final en el que Marta (Inga Landgre), la mujer de Henrik (Ulf Palme), pone a Susanne (y también a su esposo, al fondo del plano, que escucha todo con el rabo entre las piernas aunque ella hable como si él no se encontrase en la habitación) en su sitio. Dos desencuentros, cada uno desde la perspectiva de la protagonista, que por supuesto el espectador vive con la suya propia, complementaria y aclaratoria. Y cómo filma Bergman los rostros...

[zvaigzdelasas]

Andersson, from the opposition center-left Social Democrats, suggested Thursday to Swedish outlet Aftonbladet: “Surveillance performed by police officers could be carried out by the military. In addition, there is technical know-how with the military that they could assist with.”[...] Sweden could also ask Norway, Denmark or Finland for additional police support, Andersson added. Sweden’s Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer, from the center-right Moderate Party, finds the idea of deploying the military an “interesting thought,” public broadcaster SVT reported.[...] Defense Minister Pål Jonson, also from the Moderates, said deploying the military was not currently on the agenda. “There are no such plans currently,” he said.

28 Sep 23

After an explosion was reported yesterday in Uppsala, a city 70 km (43 mi) north of Sweden, which killed a 25-year-old woman, the prime minister gave a speech responding to several murders in Sweden. The prime minister, Ulf Kristersson of the center-right Moderate Party, said that gangs are responsible for these continuous murders. He said that the government would change its legislation to address gang violence, via stricter migration and surveillance policy assisted by the Swedish military.[...] Kristersson said the government’s “naivety” and “cluelessness” are the causes, which he said they would correct by denying more migrants entry into the country. “While immigration increases to Europe, it decreases to Sweden,” Kristersson said.[...] Starting on October 1st, Kistersson said there will be a preventive wiretapping measure instituted in Sweden. By the prime minister’s words, it seems as if the police will be able to listen to domestic calls. We were not able to provide more details on this new policy at the time of writing.[...]

On July 1st, 2023, Sweden passed laws doubling the sentence for gang-related crimes and added a law against recruiting children. The prime minister said the government was going to create “search zones” as well, where people will be searched for weapons. He said he had summoned the commander-in-chief of the armed forces to assist the police in these programs. Assisting in internal conflicts is not necessarily a part of the Armed Forces’ duties, which are usually more focused on assisting in international conflict, “to defend Sweden and its territories against armed attacks,” and “safeguarding national sovereign rights and interests in areas outside the territory.”[...] Currently, Sweden is governed by a right-wing coalition majority formed by Kristersson’s Moderate Party and two other right-wing parties. The party with the largest number of votes in Parliament is the Sweden Democrats, a nationalist party that wants to “keep organized crime out” via a strict migration policy and is “not afraid to challenge the status quo,” according to their website. The government needs the Sweden Democrats to get a majority in the Riksdag.

A warning to Swedes from two top defence officials to prepare for war has prompted concern and accusations of alarmism.

Civil Defence Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin told a defence conference "there could be war in Sweden".

His message was then backed up by military commander-in-chief Gen Micael Byden, who said all Swedes should prepare mentally for the possibility.

However, opposition politicians have objected to the tone of the warnings.

Ex-prime minister Magdalena Andersson told Swedish TV that while the security situation was serious, "it is not as if war is just outside the door."

Children's rights organisation Bris said that its national helpline did not usually receive calls about the possibility of war. But this week, it had seen an increase in worried calls from youngsters who had seen news reports or posts on TikTok talking about it.

"This was well prepared, it wasn't something blurted out," Bris spokeswoman Maja Dahl told the BBC. "They should have provided information meant for kids when they come out with this kind of information for grown-ups."

Despite the starkness of the messaging, the remarks from the civil defence minister and military chief are being seen as a wake-up call.

After more than two centuries of peace, Sweden is a few steps from joining the Nato defensive alliance, waiting for a green light from Turkey's parliament and then from Hungary.

The commander-in-chief said his remarks were nothing new.

He visited Ukraine's eastern front a month ago and Sweden is one of a group of countries training Ukrainian pilots. Stockholm is also said to be considering sending advanced Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine.

"My ambition with this is not to worry people; my ambition is to get more people to think about their own situation and their own responsibilities," Gen Byden later told Aftonbladet newspaper.

Finland has already joined Nato, and Russian officials have suggested it will be "the first to suffer" if tensions with Nato escalate.

How Sweden and Finland went from neutral to Nato

Sweden's civil defence minister said his aim was not for people to lose sleep, but to gain awareness of what was really going on. He appealed to local authorities, emergency planners and individuals to respond.

"If there is one thing that keeps me awake at night, it is the feeling that things are moving too slowly," Mr Bohlin told the Society and Defence conference on Sunday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on Sweden during the conference to work with his country and others to manufacture weapons and "get stronger together".

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson added that in 2024, Sweden would meet Nato's target of spending 2% of economic output (GDP) on military defence, doubling its spending since 2020.

Defence specialist Oscar Jonsson said the tone of the warnings from defence chiefs was something of a storm in a teacup and that 90% of what had been said arose from frustration that too little was being done to build civil and military defence.

"Time is limited and it was aimed at being a wake-up call for agencies, individuals and departments," he told the BBC.

"The Swedish armed forces are incredibly competent, but the scale is nowhere near. The latest defence bill says we should set up 3.5 brigades, whereas Ukraine had 28 when the war started."

Gen Byden's warning to prepare mentally for war comes hard on the heels of a warning a month ago from the head of Poland's National Security Bureau (BBN), Jacek Siewiera, who said that "to avoid war with Russia, countries on Nato's eastern flank should adopt a three-year time horizon to prepare for confrontation".

He said a German Council on Foreign Relations report suggesting Germany and Nato should prepare their armed forces to be able to fend off a Russian attack in six years was "too optimistic".

Oscar Jonsson, a specialist from the Swedish Defence University, said that while war was a possibility, it would require several factors to fall into place: Russia's war in Ukraine coming to an end, its military having the time to rebuild and rearm its fighting force and for Europe to lose US military support.

All of which were within the realms of possibility, he added.

Hello! If you want to, how the og 4 in payday dealing with their grief post-game?? Hehe angst

A/N: I absolutely love this request, I wasn't sure if you wanted Hoxton or Houston added in the og 4 so I did both!! Thank you for requesting!

------------------------------------------------------

Nathan 'Dallas' Steele:

He's not one to show his grief. He prefers to keep it to himself, rather than depend on others to help him.

He'll hide away in his room in the Payday Gang safehouse, stay either in his bed or in his chair by his desk.

If something terrible happened, like someone he knows is either arrested or killed, he'll hang his head and cry.

If it's just grief from a hard heist that failed, where they couldn't get the money and had to leave, he'd be in a fit of rage.

He doesn't want to lash out at the others often, it makes him feel worse than he already does.

He might break things, yell at no one in particular, and cry until he feels better and decides it's time to do another heist, hopefully it'll go better than the last..

Nicolas 'Chains':

He's the one who's grief turns to anger and then to shame.

If someone gets arrested or killed, maybe even hospitalized, he'll lash out at the team.

If they didn't make it out with the money and had to flee, he's even more angry that they spent a good majority of their funding on the planning and it all went to waste.

He'll eventually head back to his room to calm down, feeling shameful for yelling and insulting the others. He cries sometimes, even if it's just a little bit.

He waits for the next heist, acting nicer to the others now that he's degraded them for something that wasn't entirely their fault...

Ulf 'Wolf' Andersson:

His grief is one that he shows and wants others to help him with.

Someone is injured, dead or arrested? He cries because he feels like it may have been his fault.

They didn't make it out with the money? He's angry at himself, not at the others.

He takes everything out on himself, often needing another one of the gang members to help him calm down and reassure him that it wasn't his fault.

As he waits for the next heist, he takes time to himself to do little things to keep his mind off the grief and self-deprecating thoughts he's feeling and having.

James 'Hoxton' Hoxworth:

He's another one of the rather angry individuals.

If someone gets injured, arrested or dies, he lashes out. He lashes out at Dallas mostly, because he's the leader and he expected better from Dallas and it breaks out into a huge argument.

If they don't make it out with the money, he's still pissed but not as much as when something bad happens to another gang member. He'll make snarky comments about them not getting the money, but he doesn't yell at anyone.

All in all, he gets angry easily because it reminds him of when he got arrested and it took the others a while to get him back.

He waits for the next heist, not very patiently, and tries to keep his temper in check, to no avail.

Derek 'Houston' Steele:

He's another one that gets fairly angry, and he definitely takes it out on his brother, Dallas.

Someone got hurt, killed or arrested? He yells at Dallas for not being careful enough and helping them.

They didn't get the money and had to flee? He yells more at Dallas because of the funding, planning and lack of gains.

He feels bad afterwards, but he tries not to show it. He hides behind snarky comments and angry outbursts.

When he waits for the next heist, he never lets Dallas live down the fails of any heist they've done.

There are stern diplomatic letters—and then there’s the one received on Sept. 14 by Sweden’s foreign ministry, addressed to Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom. The petulant letter is written by his Hungarian counterpart, Peter Szijjarto, and informs Billstrom that unless Swedish politicians and the country’s national public radio stop criticizing Hungary’s democracy, Hungary won’t ratify Sweden’s NATO accession.

And because, unlike Hungary, Sweden is a well-functioning democracy and therefore its government can’t tell opposition politicians—some of whom have been lambasting Hungary lately—or Swedish public radio what to say, that means no NATO ratification. Sweden’s NATO membership may die for now—because of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb­an, not Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Billstrom will not have enjoyed Szijjarto’s missive, which was sent after Billstrom, as Szijjarto points out, recently initiated a number of meetings to discuss Hungary’s ratification of Sweden’s membership. For maximum effect, Orban’s spokesman Zoltan Kovacs has uploaded the letter to Twitter. Before further reading of it, it’s useful to remind oneself why Billstrom was inquiring about Hungary’s ratification.

In July, when Sweden and Turkey reached an agreement on Sweden’s NATO accession, it seemed obvious that Hungary would swiftly ratify it too. President Katalin Novak tweeted congratulations, adding that she had asked Orban “to do everything possible to ensure that the … #Hungarian Parliament also contributes to the enlargement of the defense #Alliance as soon as possible.” Indeed, NATO’s other member states had long assumed that Hungary would fall in line and ratify as soon as Turkey decided to do so.

More than two months later, Erdogan seems to be backpedaling on his promise, linking Turkish ratification to “the security in the streets of Sweden,” a reference to the violent protests that have erupted in some heavily Muslim-populated neighborhoods since Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika’s Quran burnings in June. And now Szijjarto has let Billstrom know that Sweden can’t count on Hungarian ratification either. In his letter, he gets straight to the point: He doesn’t like the “biased, unfair and unjust accusations” toward Hungary that have been put forward by Swedish politicians.

And now, Szijjarto adds, things have taken an even more offensive turn: Hungarian parliamentarians “have read in the news that as part of your school curriculum provided by UR [the educational sibling of Swedish Public Radio], belonging to a state-run foundation, serious accusations and fake informations are being spread in the schools of Sweden, suggesting that democracy has been on a backslide in Hungary in the recent years.”

Szijjarto is right to observe that Swedish politicians have been rather critical of Hungary. The ones who have verbally attacked the country are, however, not Billstrom nor any other members of the parties forming the government. Instead, it’s coming from former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson of Sweden’s long-ruling Social Democrats, who is still licking her wounds after losing last year’s election to a center-right coalition, and has compared now-Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s policies to those of Orban. Morgan Johansson—who was Andersson’s justice minister and home affairs minister and is an energetic Twitter warrior—has suggested that Kristersson is turning into Orban and turning Sweden into Hungary.

Orban is, in fact, a tool that some Swedish opposition politicians enjoy using for hyperbolic purposes. Unlike him, Kristersson would, of course, never compare Ukraine to Afghanistan, or suggest that it quit fighting the Russians. But by putting the two in the same sentence, Andersson and her ilk hope some of the mud will stick.

These are hardly words designed to endear Orban, Szijjarto, and their parliamentarians to Sweden’s NATO accession. And with the new school year underway, Swedish schoolchildren studying UR’s educational content will indeed learn that Hungary’s democracy has certain flaws. This is not news; the European Commission has frozen COVID-19 relief funds over the Hungarian government’s practices in rewarding contracts, and last year, the European Parliament passed a resolution labeling the country an “electoral autocracy” because of shortcomings within its constitutional and electoral system. But for the most part, Hungary needs the EU more than vice versa. Sweden, by contrast, desperately needs Hungary. And Szijjarto seems to have gone looking for Swedish offenses.

If the criticism in Sweden continues, the Hungarian foreign minister has now informed Billstrom, Hungary won’t ratify Sweden’s application: “You urge our Parliamentarians to ratify your accession to NATO, while you continue to accuse them as if they had destructed democracy in Hungary.” Szijjarto, of course, knows that Billstrom can’t tell opposition politicians to stop disparaging Hungary, nor can he or any other government minister tell UR—an independent agency—how to design its curriculum. In Hungary, meanwhile, the opposition struggles to even make its views heard in the country’s media.

So, Hungary looks unlikely to ratify any time soon. Even if Erdogan decides that he’s done adding new demands to let Sweden into NATO, it won’t matter. Without Hungarian ratification, there will be no Swedish accession. That means no NATO lake in the Baltic Sea and no standard Swedish participation in alliance-wide intelligence sharing. It also means that Sweden’s outstanding defense industry will continue to be hampered by its status as a NATO outsider.

And it means that Russia’s two closest allies within NATO have undermined what would have been the alliance’s proudest moment in recent years: the addition of Sweden and Finland, which had proudly spent decades outside the alliance and were set to bring formidable assets ranging from superb Swedish submarines to fierce Finnish Army units into the alliance.

Now NATO is only getting half of that, plus a big debacle that’s dividing the alliance. But as I wrote for Foreign Policy this summer, being outside NATO isn’t a disaster for Sweden—especially since the alliance is making a big and public effort to involve the country in every conceivable way.

Sweden’s ratification debacle, though, also demonstrates that domestic voices can—wittingly or unwittingly—cripple a major foreign-policy initiative. Andersson and Johansson, now his party’s foreign-policy spokesperson, should have known that insulting Orban was a bad idea at a moment when Sweden needed him. (Their party has long been opposed to NATO membership, and Andersson only decided that Sweden should apply when Finland decided to do so.) And Momika and Danish provocateur Rasmus Paludan burnt Qurans in Sweden to anger Erdogan at a sensitive NATO moment, while other activists hanged an effigy of him in Stockholm around the same time. They all knew that these actions would cripple Sweden’s NATO accession, though they have been primarily motivated by the fame they could—and did—gain.

But professional politicians should have known better. There’s nothing wrong with criticizing Hungary’s democratic backsliding, and anyone is free to do so in Sweden—but giving authoritarian leaders excuses to throw a wrench in the works is.

Other countries, pay attention: This could happen to you, too. If you plan a major foreign-policy initiative, signal to thin-skinned foreign leaders that there may be people in your country who see an opportunity to get famous by slinging insults. You can also be certain that some of those foreign leaders may be looking for excuses to feel insulted. Just imagine what might happen now that Western countries need to work more closely with Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Sultan.
