Life Update
I’M OFF FOR TWO WEEKS!  YAAAAAY!
More beneath the cut, lol!
I won’t lie, the whole “I’m off” thing has NOT sunk in. 
Um, so life has been super busy lately.  My therapist didn’t like it when I listed all the STUFF going on, I think because it amped up anxiety, or, like...  Was an attempt to “justify” it, or something?  LOOK AT ALL THE STUFF I HAVE GOING ON.  OF COURSE I’M ANXIOUS!  Something like that?
So I’ll be brief.  My beloved cat, Darcy, had to get his teeth deep cleaned, and they had to pull a toof D:  Poor bb!  He came back so high on pain meds, lol!  But he is fine!  I also panicked a bit because birman cats are about 30% more likely than mixed breed cats to have a deadly reaction to the rabies shot.  For 8 years, he hasn’t gotten one- he’s never set foot outside anyway, so he’s not getting rabies- but they wouldn’t do oral work on him without it.  So I had to make an instant decision- was I risking a deadly reaction, or risking gum/tooth disease by not caring for his mouth?  I quickly researched and found that the newer one year rabies shots are much safer than the three year ones and learned how to more safely administer the shot.  A good vet will give the shot in the lower leg, so the leg can be amputated in the event of a reaction, saving the cat.
The vet answered the questions correctly, according what I researched, so Darcy got the shot.  And he was fine!  Whew!  And his tooth cleaning and removal went fine, too- I was worried because of the anesthesia.  My other cat, Dinah, hissed at him for about 4 days after he got home, though D:  Which is pretty common, but poor Darcy, lol!
Then there was a lot of stuff about cars?  We got an electric car, and I really like it!  But it was WILD, because it was like- well we have ONE, exactly ONE car coming in for the foreseeable future, so we had to make a split second decision.  Then, they gave us a date for arrival, and it came earlier, so I had to drop everything at work and go get it?  And we’re really busy selling our two eleven year old cars- we’re becoming a one car household, since my husband works from home.
Meanwhile, work has been unbelievable, but I did get exciting data!  Being a scientist is really a roller coaster, because you careen from, “AHH TOO MUCH WORK!”  “AH!!!  NOTHING IS WORKING!”  “AHHH SO MANY UNEXPECTED ISSUES!” to “HOLY SHIT THIS DATA IS GORGEOUS AND SO EXCITING!  HOLY COW THIS IS AMAZING!”  
There’s just a BUNCH going on.  Oh, yeah, I also got billed EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS for a covid test I took back in January.  The cost of covid tests is supposed to be covered by the federal CARES act, so I will need to contest it -_-  This is apparently really common, unfortunately.
Um, so now I’m off for two weeks!  I want to make the blog for Koushiro Week in October.  I’ll probably be sending the inspiration ideas around for um um consideration of people I know to be Kou fans.  I also really want to get the next Puits d’Amour chapter out!
So ummm I will likely be around a lot more for the next two weeks!
ALSO, if you wanna join a chill Digimon Discord where we create Digimon content of all seasons/shows/movies/characters/ships, with NO bashing allowed, all content safe for work...  Well, check out the Camp Digimonth discord!  It’s open to new members from the Tumblr community!
Annnnd that is all, time to VACATION!

What are their majors?
Does Chris exist?
who is roommates with who?
what year are they?
I just love college aus so much and i am always curious about how people interpret characters in that setting.
Ahhh okay okay- this is going to be SUPER long and super specific, sorry!!
Majors:
Okay first, Eddie. Eddie was hard. I thought about making him ROTC but like, no. So, to answer two of your questions at once, I'm going to make Eddie a teacher with a focus on children with disabilities. That's where he meets Chris (who lives with his grandfather Bobby heheh), and the two connect immediately.
Eddie's putting himself through college, which is why he's an RA. But he also works weekends at a local coffee shop (yes I am merging a coffee shop AU into this college AU). Buck is a frequent visitor.
Buck is a marine biologist and you will not change my mind. He got caught in a tsunami over the summer before his freshman year, but he never even thought about changing his major. He's obsessed with helping animals and the environment. His ADHD definitely gets in the way with school sometimes (and yes, he was prescribed meds, but they make him feel weird and sick and really it only is detrimental to his school life not his personal one, but that's why he's got the best friends). Likes to take a bunch of random classes when they fit though because he just loves learning about things, so he's like...the university cryptid. Everyone feels like they've had at least one class with him.
Hen is Biology (Pre-med, of course!). Do I even need to explain? Doctor Hen my beloved. But, she definitely is minoring in something like woman studies or anthropology so she can get a better understanding of the intersection of culture and being a medical professional in a way that some doctors...don't. Stan Hen.
Chim...Honestly, Chim was kinda hard, and I'm not 100% sure I'm right on this. But Chim as a Comms major just makes sense to me. But like, Digital Comms, so he does social media and website creations and stuff. He's pretty laid-back overall, but this man is obsessed with internships. The annoying (but lovable in Chim's case) person who had an internship every semester and then complained that he had so much work to do.
Albert is 100% undecided. That man doesn't know what he wants to do AT ALL so currently he's taking 1 philosophy class? (it fits my vibe, Chim!) He's taking a Music Production class for sure, and he makes stupid EDM music that drives Ravi insane. And then just a bunch of core classes.
I headcanon Ravi as a linguistics person, idk why. I think he didn't want to become an engineer or doctor (like maybe was expected of him as it is in my South Asian family) but he's still super smart, right? He's taking two language classes and a couple of data science classes, but really he wants to do humanitarian work if he can make a living career out of it. Idk no one but Hen really understands his major, but they all ask him for help studying because he's literally so good at everything? School, check. Sports, check. Social life, A-. He can't sing though, which is fine until someone tells him to shut up in the communal showers.
I'm thinking I'll make Maddie a drop-in character so that she can fall in love with Chim? But she graduated undergrad early and is going to PA (physician's assistant) school.
Roommates:
Buck has rich people money. Yes, he hates his parents, and they suck, but he's got rich people money to put him through college (and if he spends half of it tipping at Eddie's coffee shop, that's his business). So he lives in a dorm room by himself, has his own personal bathroom and everything, ugh. He's neighbors with Eddie though (walls are thin)...
Ravi and Albert are roommates. They can't stand each other, but if you ever bring that up they'll get so offended. (Wtf? Ravi's my best friend, bro).
Eddie's an RA, so he's also got his own room, but he can frequently be found at the apartment off-campus that Chim and Hen share.
Years:
Eddie is a sophomore. Chim and Hen are juniors. Buck and Ravi are freshman. Who knows when Albert will graduate, two years early? Two years late? Who knows.
And yes, I know in canon Albert gets his undergrad in Korea when he's like 16, but I don't want that for him. I want him to be chaotic as he should.
Anyway...hope you had fun reading that LMAO. Feel free to send follow-ups/fix my headcanons.

Jajshhahahah okay so- could you possibly write the bad idea we discussed with Venus getting injured in combat? ||wo
warnings: Blood, violence, cursing, minor character death
word count: 3,429
Saturn is Cap’s dreammare kid. And Venus is Izzy’s.
Summary: Venus gets injured in combat
“Dad, please? I am a capable and deadly fighter! I haven’t hesitated when taking the necessary kill since my fifth one, which was many years ago! I was the one who gathered all of the data on the AU it’s at the others are about to invade. I know the Royal Guards tactics best, I figured out which psychological buttons to push in order to make the head of the Guard go into a mindless rage so that she can’t think tactically… And it’s not as if I want to solo this AU, I just want to help the others conquer this timeline for you… Dad, please?” Venus begged,  a stubbornly determined expression on their face. They weren’t going to be left behind this time when it came down to the real fighting. “And you even said that you probably weren’t going to even fight in this neutral timeline due to the human slaughtering half of the monsters in the underground years ago in that timeline and most of the rest with a significant loss of Hope, which means that their magic will be weakened and their HP lower than standard…”
Nightmare sighed a little bit at that, trying to determine what was the best option. Venus had been pushing for this after they had sparred and beaten each of his lieutenants individually in practice matches that both opponents had been taking seriously. But he… Really didn’t want to risk his child’s life like that, grown adult though they were. But all the evidence pointed to a relatively easy capture Don’t underestimate your opponents. Fear and desperation can be a source of strength as well as a distraction. I want you to be with at least two of my lieutenants at all times during the entire time you are there, including during any lulls in fighting or after the initial surrender as it could be a  trap, as it has been in the past. Do you understand this, Venus?”
Venus huffed a little bit and folded their arms across their chest, a mutinous expression appearing on their face… BUt they could sense their father’s worry and concern over their wellbeing and with a sigh, relented.. The only times that they had fought against other beings, they had been at Nightmare’s side the entire time, so this was actually showing more trust and faith in their abilities. “I promise to abide by the rules you give me, dad. I’ll be with at least two of the others the whole time I’m gone…” They moved closer to their dad and hugged him tightly for a moment, grateful for the chance to prove themself.
“Thank you, Venus. I know that you are strong, but I just… I can’t… I can’t lose you, my precious little one.” Nightmare murmured softly, hugging them back just as tightly, tucking them under his chin and humming softly, reminded of times long past when he’d held both Venus and Saturn close with Dream shivering and hiding behind him, or desperately clinging to the three of them, trying to whisper reassurances. None of the three of them were the least bit fond of storms - and particularly thunder and lightning.
“You won’t, Dad.” Venus promised, hugging their dad back more, their words a little bit muffled by the fact that they were kind of hiding their face into his chest. It was nice to be held like this. But it wasn’t professional and they knew that The Bad Sanses as they were apparently called would be coming to the throne room soon to get the debrief about the mission that the five of them were about to go on. They were pretty sure that either Hatchet or Killer were going to be the ones leading the team - which suited them just fine - they didn’t have experience leading a group of people on a strike mission after all.
“I hope so.” Nightmare whispered, pressing a paternal kiss to the top of their skull, only letting them go as soon as they both sensed the approach of the rest of the team.
~
All three of Venus’s odd pseudo uncles as well as their honorary big brother had taken their safety very seriously throughout the mission so far. It was a bit frustrating to have been stuck in the dead center of the group - with Cross (who was the fastest of the five of them) on their right, and all of them having summoned blasters at the ready to shoot anything foolish enough to get within twenty feet of them… But they had been able to actually fight, rather than just sneak around and get information on an AU that their dad wanted to take over, which was an exciting change of pace. They used their negative powers to weaken the resolve of the monsters the group faced, which probably helped to shorten the battles.
What was left of the royal guard had crumbled and broken before the five of them, and Venus sent a small smile Cross’s way, knowing that all they had to do was to get to the castle and find the cowering and snivelling monarch to beg for their life, and the will of their people would be broken.
But as they marched towards the castle, all hell broke loose. The Sans of the AU - who hadn’t been seen up until now - teleported in out of nowhere, three alternate Sanses at his side - A Swapfell, a FellSwap (or was that the other way around? Venus couldn’t quite keep the two verses straight in their mind) and a Horrorfell. Their Papyri flying in from behind the group. A soft gasp left their lips - nothing that shown that this Sans had contact with the wider multiverse. Shit.
Cross was the first to respond, summoning dozens of DT blades and flinging them at the airborne Papyri - causing the four of them to scatter and break ranks “Fuck. This just got harder. Stay sharp, Ven.” He muttered quietly, shaking them out of their shock.
Killer cackled wildly, brandishing his knives and charging the nearest Sans, summoning a field of bones and launching them - white and blue - at the Sanses.
Dust was right behind Killer, blasters whining and shooting out towards the trio of Sanses in the same moment, a feral glee in his emotional aura - even as one of the other Sanses countered his blaster attack with blasters of their own.
Hatchet was using bones and blasters to try to help keep the Papyri from regrouping, a concentrated frown on his face as he started to attack.
Venus noticed that both Cross and Hatchet seemed to be having a bit of difficulty actually hitting the Papyri - perhaps because they so closely resembled their beloved siblings (dead brother, in the case of poor Cross, who had lost so much to Ink’s machinations. Not that Papa knew that). They flew towards the Papyri, asking “ why do you come to defend the world that is not your own? To do so risks interference from people who are much more powerful than you can fathom. Surrender and leave this place and perhaps nightmare will spare your world.” they imbued their words with the power of their magic, causing the swapfell and fellswap Papyri to stumble for a moment and stop.
The Horrorfell Papyrus on the other hand,  snarled lowly and hissed “Let your lord and master come to my world. It’s not as if he can make things worse than they already are.”
“You have no idea what nightmare is capable of. Not truly.” Venus responded coolly.  Their eye lights shine brightly with cyan magic as they summon a bow (it looks strikingly similar to Dream’s, except for the fact that the wood is of a darker color and the runes that have been carved on it are of a cyan hue - specifically a shade strikingly similar to Nightmare’s own magic). They create a magical arrow and began shooting at the Papyri, moving out of the way of the bones that were hurled in their direction - no matter if they were thrown at them from the Papyri in front of them, or the Sanses behind them. The arrows strike true, and hit the Horrorfell Papyrus directly through the soul “Have a taste of what Negativity is truly like.” They hiss as the Papyrus howls in agony, collapsing in on himself and breaking down into sobbing hysterics.
Monsters struck by their arrows would relive some of their worst memories - and Venus kept up a volley of arrow at the remaining Papyri - the three of them cursing and desperately tumbling and stumbling out of the way of their arrows, so frantic and afraid of their magic that they were caught by Cross’s and Hatchet’s Blasters, screams of pain leaving them briefly as they crumbled into dust.
“NO! PAPYRUS!” Their Sanses screamed in unison, fury and heartbreak in their emotional auras. They attacked with a renewed vigor.
Venus swerved to avoid the blasters and bones in the air - nearly getting hit with a blue bone attack which would have grounded them. The Sanses’ teleportation abilities were incredibly annoying to deal with - as they were much more adept at avoiding their arrows.
However, the defensive Sanses were slowly losing ground and stamina - a fact that they seemed to be grimly aware of. The Horrorfell Sans called out on his turn, panting heavily “Why don’t… We just… Take a little break, eh? That way we can all…Rest up and… Continue fighting…”
“Surrender or die.” Killer giggled, the wide smirk on his face broadening still further, twirling his knives in his hands “I can do this for days without needing a break.”
Venus took aim at the exhausted and trembling Sans, certain that they could hit him this time, when a sudden and intense pain ripped through their body, shattering their concentration as they fell to the ground, screaming in agony… Their wings were caught on something, and they realized that two very long bones had pierced through them, causing the emotive spirit to bleed magic “A-Ahhh!” The attack had come from behind, but who…? “A-Aaaah!” Their magic pulsed around them at the intensity of the pain they were in.
The Horrorfell Papyrus hissed “I… Will not… Let you kill… My brother! Pretty little birdie… You will make a tasty stew for us… Yes… Yes you will.” He staggered towards them “I wonder… What shape is your soul, little bird? So… So strange you are…”
Cross and Hatchet cursed, teleporting between Venus and the Papyrus, a second too slow as the Horrorfell native managed to wrap his magic around their soul, forcing their body to jerk upwards, further damaging their wings, as their black-apple soul became clearly visible. “No, no no no no!” Cross swore, launching dozens of daggers and bones at the Papyrus “Let them go, you twisted fucker!”
“What… The fuck… Are you?” The defending Sanses swore, having never seen a being with such a soul before. One of them launched a bone straight for Venus’ soul.
Their eye lights shrunk to pinpricks and they thrashed uselessly in the magical grip of the Papyrus, unable to work up the concentration to summon their bow again to try to shoot away the attack. A terrified scream of “D-Dad, H-Help! Please!” was wrenched from their throat, their eye lights going out, praying to anything that might listen that they survived a direct attack to their soul.
But the blow never came. Venus tentatively summoned their eye lights, realizing that the negativity in the area had risen dramatically. Their dad was now holding them protectively in a couple of his tentacles, the rest lashing out at the Papyrus who was holding their soul hostage, snapping the skeleton in half and shredding his soul so that he no longer had a hold on Venus’ soul. The other had also blocked the attack to their soul by the Sans.
NIghtmare was livid “You dare harm my precious child… I will make your lives a miserable, living hell and you will beg for death long before I grant you that mercy.” The other’s tentacles lashed out and slammed into the four Sanses, curling around them tightly enough to cause them pain and to threaten to chip away the few HP that each of them had “I will find your pathetic worlds, and I will -”
Venus coughed a little, their wings hurting very badly, and they could feel themselves hemorrhaging the magical blood that flowed through them “Dad… I need… I need help… Ngh…” They were trembling and trying so desperately not to cry in the pain, and in relief that their dad had come to save them. Of course he did.
That snapped Nightmare out of his pitch black fury, worry and fear running through him  as he Checked them, and he cursed lowly “Eat as much as you can, but I will need to find a healer for your wings… Stay awake at all costs, do you understand me, Venus?”
“Y-Yes dad… Ngh.. The darkness is so nice though… “ Venus mumbled. They knew that they wouldn’t be in any pain if they fell asleep - but the fear and worry in their dad’s face kept them awake. “I hurt so much, dada…” They hadn’t called him that since they were really little, but somehow, they weren’t embarrased.
It was apparently the wrong thing to say, as their dad was even more terrified and upset than before. The mortals in Nightmare’s grasp dusted and he very gently set them in Cross’s protective grip “Feed them as much food as is in the castle. I will procure a healer who can fix the damage in full.” The lord of darkness opened a portal that led directly home.
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.” Cross whispered, guilt and pain in his aura and voice as he teleported through the portal, grateful that Nightmare had opened it directly into the kitchen. Dust, Killer and Hatchet were directly behind him, shoving the food that they had in their inventories down Venus’s throat “I should have made sure that that HF Papyrus was actually dead… I didn’t see the fucker in the snow…”
“I didn’t realize he wasn’t fully dead, either, Cross.” Hatchet rumbled as he rushed over to the fridge, pulling out everything that was pre-made, shoving them into Dust and Killer’s impatient hands as they kept a steady stream of food coming to their badly injured kid. They loved Venus fiercely, and to have seen them strung up by their wings like that….
Those idiots’ deaths had been far too quick. But Venus’ life was more important than revenge.
“Let’s move Ven to their room. We’re out of food and they’ve stopped losing HP… Stars fuckin’ damn I wish that one of us had the ability to heal.” Killer cursed softly. The others nodded and they teleported Venus to their room, carefully laying them down so that none of their weight would be on their damaged wings.
~
There was only one being with the capability to heal who Nightmare would trust near one of his injured children, and he desperately needed to find the other before it was too late. Using their soul-bond, he tracked the other to an Outerswap. It was an irritatingly positive place, but his mate’s presence shone like a being amongst the never ending sea of mortal idiots. He instantly teleported over to where Dream was, using his magic to temporarily paralyze everyone else in the room in Fear and Despair that he had found them (some of Dream’s mortal allies were in the room - as was the soulless fuckface). “Come with me, now.” He pleaded, trembling as he reached out for Dream.
His mate took a couple of steps back, his eye lights wide with suspicion and surprise - but the other hadn’t instantly summoned his bow. A worried frown appeared on his face “Nightmare, wh-what-”
Right. Dream didn’t know yet “Venus is injured. Please. They… They were hemorrhaging so much magic and I… I can’t heal them…”
All suspicion and wariness vanished within his mate’s emotional aura “Where are they?” He snapped, teleporting over to the negative guardian and sending a pulse of love-affection-worry through the hand that had the other had touched him with.
“Home. I-I sent them home. They wanted to fight. Begged me too. I-I shouldn’t have let them, b-but…” Nightmare stuttered, feeling so weak and useless. An awful failure. How could he have given in.
“Shh… Our eldest is incredibly stubborn. Sat is at PP US 99814. I’ll go home to heal Ven.” Dream soothed, cutting him off before he could potentially self-destruct. With that the other opened a portal home and teleported through it. It closed before any of the mortals could think of unfreezing.
Nightmare was long gone before any of the mortals (or the soulless asshole) could move under their own power again. The lord of Negativity found his son and scooped him up, pulling him in close, murmuring that the other was “Safe now, my little starlight… It’s time to come home now…”
“I… D-Dad… H-how did you find me?” Saturn stuttered, his eye lights terrified and confused pinpricks.
“Your papa told me where to find you… We… W-We have to go home now. All of us. Venus is badly hurt.” Nightmare explained quietly, absently noted that he was still partially covered in the dust of the Sanses he had killed earlier, which would likely further distress his rather shy and sensitive younger child.
“V-Venus is… Is h-hurt? P-please take me h-home dad. I-I want to see them!” Saturn begged, tears streaming down his face as he hugged his dad back tightly, terrified and confused, though for different reasons now.
~
Dream was a barely-visible streak of gold and blue as he ran through the castle, teleporting directly to where he could sense the being of negativity as soon as his senses worked. He instantly summoned a bubble shield, forcing the mortals who had surrounded his precious older child away from them as he started to heal them, his hands a vibrant green color. Their voices an indignant, confused chorus that he ignored entire.
When their confused cries registered in his mind, Dream hissed at them “Of course I am helping my older child you blithering idiots. I am justifiably furious at Nightmare for what he’s done, but I’d never sacrifice either of our children in our fighting, and I know that he wouldn’t either. Why do you think he came to get me?”
“IF that’s true, then where the fuck is Nightmare?!” The monochromatic mortal growled, their heterochromatic eye lights flashing impudently at him.
“He went to get Saturn, our younger child. Sat will want to stay with their sibling as they recover from the mana loss.” Dream snapped. It was perfectly obvious to him “They’re coming this way, if you don’t believe me. They’re back in this timeline. Now shut up and stop trying to break through my shield so that I can focus on healing Venus.” It was so nice for them all to go blissfully silent. Venus had lost so much blood…
But their wounds closed, and Dream gave them as much energy as they were able to handle. He sat down on the bed and held his older child close to his chest, murmuring softly “You’re going to be okay… Papa’s here and Dad’s on his way with Sat…”
“P-Papa?” Venus asked quietly, their eye lights fuzzy “I… I hear your voice… H-how did you? How did you know I was hurt?”
“Your dad came and got me, sweetie. As soon as I heard you were hurt I came to help you. I’ll always come to help you, my little dove. No matter what you become. Your papa loves you so, so much.” Dream soothed, rocking Venus back and forth gently.
Venus cried quietly and clung as tightly as they could to their papa. Dad and Sat appeared seconds later. Saturn crawled onto the bed after he was put down by Dad, snuggling into Venus’s lap and crying (he was always felt so deeply, and was easily distressed when they got hurt). Dad’s tentacles wrapped around the three of them, and he held them all close and tightly. “Papa… Papa can I sleep now? I’m so tired…”
“I… Yes. You won’t… You’ll still be here when you wake up, now. You’ll need to eat a lot of food, okay?” Papa responded, his voice quivering a little, but full of love and care.
Venus nodded, mumbling an agreement as they drifted off to sleep.

Kitty Kompanion Ch 5
Genji hadn't been at the watchpoint for longer than a full day for the past month. Not having a work schedule for yourself, you lost track of what day it was.
You did offer to do paperwork, but Winston waved your suggestion off. "Athena does all that."
So you doubted yourself that Genji seemed be going on longer and longer missions. Overall, you were okay. Your breasts were so nice and full, and your stomach didn't have as many stretch marks as you had feared. You should have been grateful that you were safe and healthy. The piece missing from your heart disagreed. Whispered to you that it was unfair. You wondered why you should get out of bed, to face the loneliness. The tempting sleepiness pulled you back down. You closed your eyes, chasing the split second before unconsciousness that was free of any worry. The extra sleep had the opposite effect that sleep normally has. You spent the day feeling like shit and looking like it, eyebags and all.
You gave up training after falling and bruising your hip. Your centre of gravity had shifted without you noticing. You sat there, annoyed. You punched the floor, resentful that the further along you got, the more your job was becoming 'being pregnant.' You took your frustration out on Genji's cock when he was home. Making him lay back while you rode him until you tired yourself out. Your fingers gave you a less satisfying orgasm, and it was getting harder to reach properly. Genji welcomed your use of him, contentedly drinking in your curves with his hungry gaze. As soon as your thighs refused to obey you, he guided you back slowly with his hands at your back to avoid ripping his knot out of your cunt. Genji curled around your pregnant stomach to give love to your swollen breasts. These was some of your best times with him lately, because his knot locked inside you guaranteed some quality time. You traded tender kisses and discussed possible baby names until he had to leave again.
Genji noticed the growing length of his missions, as well, and picked up the habit of bringing you a small stuffed animal from each new location. Whether he stole them or bought them, you didn't mind. The theme was baby versions of animals whenever he could find them. You had amassed a sizeable amount in a short time. You lay in the bed, surrounded by the stuffies, because half its occupants weren't there most of the time anyway. You were wondering if Genji's presents were doubling as baby toys. He indignantly huffed when you asked him this.
Later he confessed to Jesse and Hanzo in the Orca that his scheme had been found out, and his brother had no sympathy.
"Don't be cheap, then!"
"It is called being frugal, Hanzo. You would go broke just trying to get a first date," said Genji, taking a jab at Hanzo's expensive tastes in cologne, bath oils, eyeliner, skincare, and separate combs for his hair and his fur.
"At least he pays for the things," Jesse pointed out, when Genji would have no problem stealing them.
"As if there is honour involved in something so insignificant," Hanzo said.
"There is to me," Genji growled. "Who is the one who is single, and who is not?"
"Genji's got a point, Hanz," Jesse said. "You might try bein' nice every once in a while."
Hanzo squared up with the cowboy, ears flat and his tail waving. His white teeth peeked out of his sneering lips. Jesse barely twitched.
"You should work on that attitude. It's bringin' team morale down," he drawled, casually puffing on his cigarillo with a finger and thumb holding it steady.
Hanzo picked a far away sniper perch to sulk in after the Orca landed.
"Sorry if that was unprofessional, Jesse," Genji whispered to him.
"As long as we stick to the plan and come back in one piece, you two can cat fight all you want."
Hanzo wheezed poorly contained laughter. He got a hold of himself and asked McCree if he plucked his joke from the dumpster they passed on the way over. Jesse took his cigarillo from his lips.
"Well, I'll be."
"He laughed," Genji said. His chest expanded with a deep breath. He let it out slowly, placing a hand solemnly on Jesse's shoulder. "I will make an appointment with Angela for him when we get back. He is clearly terminal."
"Do not!"
Jesse and Genji fell against each other, snickering quietly so enemies wouldn't hear.
Genji returned from that particular mission with a stuffed baby beaver. He found you napping with all the stuffies. What an adorable sight you made, with your pregnant belly protruding above all the stuffed animals. He had no idea you missed him so badly, and instead was drawn to join you for your nap. He added the baby beaver to the pile and then pushed some to the side so he could slot himself into the cuddle pile next to your body.
You would have remained in the bed with this surprise appearance of Genji, but you an immense need to pee and right now. You inched towards the side of the bed, dragging your extra weight along. It disturbed your bedmate. He shifted around and you stopped with your legs hanging off the side of the bed, waiting for him to greet you. Genji opened his eyes, hazy with sleepiness, and spied the stuffed animals.
"My kittens," he cooed, sweeping his arms inwards, gathering some stuffies to his chest. He curled up around them, his tail touching his chin, and went back to sleep. You could tell he was sleeping by his peaceful, steady breathing.
You were about to pee yourself, so you quickly used the bathroom. Then you swiped your phone from the bedside table and snapped a pic of Genji cuddling his 'babies.' You had no idea what was going on, but you had to save this.
You woke him, and he whined at you sleepily not to show anyone because he didn't remember talking to the stuffed animals at all. But too bad. Too late. The picture was already taken. Genji left for another mission, and now you had this darling photo to look at to comfort you while he was away.
"Hey, Angela."
"How are you feeling? You look tired."
You were on a first name basis with the pretty, blonde doctor now, and you knew the drill for your check-ins. You stepped on the scale, so she could record your weight gain. To be fair, a medical program was automatically recording all the data for perusal at Angela's convenience.
"I am, but I'm fine otherwise I think."
"That's good. I'm tired as well," she groaned and launched into some gossip. "Everyone is keeping me very busy. Did you hear that Tracer recalled into friendly fire for the fifth time in three months? She's doing her best under the circumstances, but...Ugh! And I'm trying to convince Winston to switch to natural peanut butter as a compromise, but he conveniently keeps 'forgetting' to buy a minifridge for it. Then I just about put Jesse's cigar out on his leg. Ahhh, but I have the best sleeps after days like that!" She grinned. "Also makes me look forward to seeing your healthy little baby bump in comparison."
"The Winston part might be partly my fault. I ate all his bananas a week ago."
"That's alright. He's an adult; it's squarely on him," she said, pointing at her shoulders. "Come, come. Sit."
You sat on the exam table.
"My favourite part! Hearing the tiny heartbeat." She took the stethoscope from around her neck. "Athena, bring up the audio feed for the mother to hear."
"Yes, Dr. Ziegler."
Angela played your heartbeat for you. Then the baby's. You got a little light-headed each time with the realization that a tiny life was growing inside you. You cupped your belly tenderly.
"Almost makes me want to give up being a doctor to have children," Angela said wistfully.
You looked up in surprise.
"What?"
She chuckled. "Got you!"
"Whatever," you muttered with a smile.
"You know what's next," she said. You did, lying back on the exam table so the medical equipment could scan your uterus. "Let me just quickly go over your stuff here..." she said, walking over to the console.
You waited patiently. You wished Genji were here, but that was no surprise.
"Wait," the doctor said. You sat up, already on alert. "Am I that tired? Did I forget you were having twins?"
Dr. Ziegler was squinting at the screen and rubbing her cheek in deep confusion, while you fought the urge to flail about in panic. No, you did not mention twins!
"Wait," she said again. This time you deflated onto the exam table, already done with the surprises. "This one is reading as a few weeks younger. That cannot be..."
You nodded to everything she said, trying to ignore the lack of blood flowing to your brain. Dr. Ziegler released you for now, intending to study the results of the scans of the second baby. You dumbly walked down the hallway with your hands to your baby bump, until a thought smacked you like a pebble to the head. Genji was still not here, again! You fisted your hands angrily and jogged back to your room. You paced back and forth at the foot of your bed. The object of your anger was out on a mission, again.
Athena had to say your name twice before you realized she trying to get your attention.
"Athena! Right, sorry," you said, depositing your rear on the bed. "What can I do for you?"
"An audio transmission for you from Agent Genji."
You adjusted the position of your feet needlessly and smoothed invisible wrinkles on the stomach of your shirt.
"Alright. Connect us, please."
Your beloved's voice spoke your name, warmly drifting down from the ceiling.
"You!" you seethed.
"What? I-"
"Another baby! Angela says I'm pregnant with a second baby! Appeared out of nowhere! ...I think," you added quickly. "I don't know..." A tsumani of angst came crashing over your anger, snuffing it. "And you're not here!" you wailed.
You tried not to be selfish and blame Genji for not being here, but you just did. You failed. You were overwhelmed and alone. You stared at the floor, waiting to be chastised for not handling it better. Genji had never lost his patience with you before. Maybe this time you went too far.
"You may have to explain to me again what that means when I arrive home. For now, go see Angela. Please try not to stress too much. We will get through this. Together."
"The transmission has ended," said Athena.
"Thank you, Athena," you said sadly.
"You're welcome."
"Together," was Genji's last word to you. Of course he had your back with this. You were foolish to think otherwise. Still, the prospect of two babies to take care of was daunting. Hopefully, Angela had an explanation of where the second baby came from, and soon. And maybe...she was mistaken about the whole thing. You had mixed feelings about that. For now, all your previous emotions receded, leaving you drained and raw. You fell back onto the bed, needing another nap.

Upcoming Celebrity News 2017, Hollywood Celebrity News 2017, Kanye West BREAKS SILENCE on Kim Kardashian & Drake Rumors.
Hollywood Celebrities 2017 Celebrity News Imdb all Celebrities of Walt Hollywood Studios Home Entertainment (incorporated as Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Inc. since 1997 and formerly known as Walt Hollywood Telecommunications & Non-Theatrical Company from 1980 to 1987 and eventually Buena Vista Home Video until 1997) is the home video distribution division of The Walt Hollywood Company. Hollywood began distributing videos under its own label in 1980 under the name Walt Hollywood Home Video.
Who was Roy to Walt Hollywood?
Roy O. Hollywood. Roy Oliver Hollywood (June 24, 1893 – December 20, 1971) was an American businessman, becoming the partner and co-founder, along with his younger brother Walt Hollywood, of Walt Hollywood Productions, since renamed The Walt Hollywood Company.

Robert A. Iger is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Hollywood Company. As Chairman and CEO, Mr. Iger is the steward of one of the world’s largest media companies and some of the most respected and beloved brands around the globe.
More Celebrity News ►► We’re happy to report that Kanye West has renewed his enthusiasm for social media this week. Kanye took to IG yesterday to post 4 candid videos where he expresses his feelings about speculation that Drake slept with his wife, Kim.
Yeezy continues talking directly to Drake and brings up a perfect analogy saying QUOTE, “You know, if I had a girlfriend from Chicago, her name was Renita, and you was married to Rihanna, I wouldn’t make no song called Riri. So when you’re like, ‘Ahhh I don’t know where it come from,’ you too smart for that bro.” Kanye is of course referring to Drake’s “In My Feelings” song that references a girl named “Kiki”- which is Kim’s nickname. Kanye is clearly confident that the rumors are untrue and asserts that Drake used Kim’s nickname to probe at a cheating scandal that never happened. Kanye goes on to suggest that no one should make records with lyrics that can be confused. This led Kanye to his next topic- the controversial song Pusha T released about Drake fathering a child.
Kanye admits he reached out personally to Travis to make sure they were all good because they’re family. Kanye also came for Nick Cannon, who spread rumors in an interview that Kim HAD hooked up with Drake. Kanye’s message to Nick was simple saying QUOTE, “I understand that you used to date my wife, but you know, you get into an interview, don’t mention my wife. If someone brings my wife up, say ‘I respect that man, I’m not speaking on that.’” Kanye ended his fourth video with the same sentiment for Tyson Beckford. We gotta say- Kanye’s confessionals are kinda endearing. He’s very calm and makes some good points. Ye’s ultimate request is simple- don’t talk about his wife or his family. But seeing as they’re one of the most famous families in the world that’s going to be a little difficult.

Infusion Confusion Always Wins!
Good day… And a Happy Friday to one and all! I’ve got infusion confusion this morning, and can’t really focus, so this is going to be short-n-sweet today, I promise! I’ve had my CPAP machine for a month now, and while most mornings I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go, that’s not happening this morning… So, infusions beat CPAP… Good to know! Don Henley greets me this morning with his song: End of The Innocence…
Well, to start the day, we don’t have any major news… No Central Bank meetings, no BIG announcement from China, no real economic data. I could discuss the new Health Bill, but why? It’s going nowhere folks… The dollar seems to be losing its grip again, as the currencies inch higher again this morning. The Big Dog euro seems to be stuck in the mud, as it attempted to get off the porch and run after the dollar, but the other little dog currencies have gotten off the porch, but seem to be sniffing around a bit before they take off after the dollar.
The New Zealand dollar / kiwi is the best performer overnight, and even that move isn’t anything to get real excited about! The price of Oil rebounded a bit, but not much, so there’s no reason to rush out and fill up the gas tank before it explodes higher! Not that I think it’s going to explode higher. The U.S. shale producers are really sticking it the OPEC countries.
The price of Oil has been a real problem for all the countries outside of the U.S. The problems are two-fold… One problem comes from countries that don’t produce Oil, and have to import it… As the price of Oil rises, their inflation forecasts grow, they hike rates, wring their hands with worry about inflation. As the price of Oil retreats, the country is left with no inflation worries and higher interest rates than needed, thus putting the brakes on their economy…  (see India for a good example of this scenario!)
And for the countries that produce Oil, their problems are really illustrated right here in the U.S.  Oil production goes down, the price of Oil rebounds, the Oil producers ramp up operations and begin to pump Oil by the truck loads, which leads to too much production, and supplies, and that causes the price of Oil to fall again, and now the producers have ramped up operations, taken on new debt for equipment, etc.  And the Merry-Go-Round just keeps going around and around and around…
Oh, boy, I’m doing it again! Promising a short-n-sweet Pfennig and then I go off on some tangent that fires up the word count! UGH!  Well, what else did you expect from me? My fat fingers get going on the keyboard, and the next thing I know I’m finished, and the Pfennig is as long as usual! UGH!
Gold saw another day of light from the tunnel yesterday, but once again before it could get its legs underneath it to run, the Gold short paper traders came forth and stabbed it with their steely knives, but they just can’t kill the beast! (Hotel California), and Gold gained $ 3.70 on the day…
The early morning trading has Gold up $ 8 today, but I just can’t get myself to get too excited about the early morning gains, for they come about before “da Boyz” (as Ed Steer calls them) arrive at their desks..
I’ve read a few reports this week from Gold analysts, Gold mining Co. Presidents, and so on, about how they feel that the manipulation of the Gold price is about to end… The reports don’t really ever get into why these people think that, but Hey! Who am I to question?  This is where I would pull out an old-time phrase that’s not used much any longer, and that is… Should the manipulation stop..  “I won’t look a gift-horse in the mouth”… That is an old one, Chuck! Where did you pull that one from? Ahhh grasshoppers, I pulled that from the archives of my memory. I can hear my grandma saying that to me…  And for those youngsters reading this letter the saying simply means, “when receiving a gift be grateful for what it is; don’t imply you wished for more by assessing its value.” You don’t really need to have horse! HA!
The Canadian dollar / loonie is challenging kiwi as the best overnight performer. Earlier this week, I told about how loonie traders were scratching their collective heads attempting to figure out how the loonie was pushing the currency appreciation envelope day after day, when the price of Oil was dropping, and the Bank of Canada (BOC) was sitting on their hands as the housing bubbles in Toronto and Vancouver continue to fill with air…
But then the loonie got caught up in all the Petrol Currency selling, as the price of Oil dropped into the $ 42 handle…  Well, like I’ve told you dear reader for a very long time now, “Traders are Fickle”… And they’ve gone back to pushing the loonie higher… Hey! That’s alright by me! Don’t let me get in the way of pushing the loonie higher! I’m just attempting to explain its strength to readers!
I had mentioned earlier in the week that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) would print their last meeting’s minutes this week, and then completely forgot about them, until now! I guess I forgot about them because they didn’t contain any earth shattering comments, and they sure didn’t give the markets anything to trade from…  Here’s a sample of what they were talking about…
“Members noted that the broad-based pick-up in the world economy was continuing. Labor markets had tightened further in many countries and this was expected to lead to a pick-up in wages and prices over time. Headline inflation rates in most countries had moved higher over the past year, partly reflecting higher commodity prices. Nonetheless, core inflation had remained low.”  And as we all know, they left rates unchanged…  And, that lack of optimism by the RBA hurt the Aussie dollar (A$ ) for a day but the A$ has recovered that lost ground, and now sets its sights on 76-cents!
The U.S. Data Cupboard today is till restocking, but will have New Home Sales, and the Markit print of PMI (manufacturing index), which I will remind you is NOT the national ISM manufacturing index. Existing Home Sales were better than expected when they printed earlier in the week, and so I expect New Home Sales to be better than expected too… The Fed hiked rates last week, but let me point out that our internal rate is still very low at 1.25%, and the all-important 10-year yield that is used to price mortgage rates is still below 2.20%!!!! So, why wouldn’t home sales be good?
To recap… It’s a infusion confusion Friday for Chuck, which is good because there was not a lot going on overnight and this morning in the currencies, metals, bonds, commodities, economies and dolts! I was watching the news last night, and couldn’t believe they had not one mention of China’s A shares being included in the MSCI that I talked about yesterday! UGH!  Oh well, Gold was up another $ 3.70 and the price of Oil rose about 60-cents…
For What It’s Worth…  It brings me great delight to be able to direct you to this website today, dear reader…   I would like for you to read an article by my good friend, who is also known as the Retirementor, Dennis Miller… He sent me a note this week, when I went on and on about debt, and said, “wait till you see my letter this week, great minds must think alike”…  So, anyway, it’s titled: Don’t Get Caught In The Debt Trap!  and you can read it all here: http://milleronthemoney.com/dont-get-caught-debt-trap/
Or, here’s your snippet… “Hardly a day goes by without an article blaring about record levels of debt and warning of a collapse. Irresponsible borrowing can adversely affect everyone, including those who lived within their means.
Reuters reports, “Americans’ debt back at record high after nearly a decade: “Americans’ debt level reached a record high this year, surpassing the peak touched just as the worst of the recession was taking hold in 2008, …households …now lean …more on auto and student loans.”
Bloomberg weighs in on student loans, “Student debt in America has hit a new record”: “Total U.S. student debt hit a record $ 1.31 trillion last year, the 18th consecutive year Americans’ education debt rose, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.”
Chuck Again… Dennis does a great job of being fair and balanced on this, and I sent him a note saying that, his quote from Noah Smith, reminded me of my note about the Commodity Analyst yesterday… One day, they’ll rue the day they said those things..
Currencies today 6/23/17… American Style: A$ .7565, kiwi .7280, C$ .7560, euro 1.1168, sterling 1.2737, Swiss $ .9712, … European Style: rand 12.93, krone 8.4752, SEK 8.7560, HUF 276.61, zloty 3.7898, koruna 23.5227, RUB 59.97, yen 111.20, sing 1.3866, HKD 7.7993, INR 64.48, China 6.8321, peso 18.05, BRL 3.3340, Dollar Index 97.40, Oil $ 42.81, 10-year 2.16%, Silver $ 16.80, Platinum $ 931.73, Palladium $ 891.75, and Gold… $ 1,258.00
That’s it for today… no extra innings, no win for my beloved Cardinals yesterday… UGH! It’s feast or famine with this team, and that’s not the Cardinals I’m used to watching… Well, they took a new measurement of the tumor in my mouth yesterday, and compared it to the measurement taken right before I began my infusions again, and the tumor is shrinking again! That’s a good thing, even though I feel like death warmed over this morning! But that won’t last long, and I’ll be back to myself by noon! I’ll have to wait to do my crossword puzzles until then, because I couldn’t concentrate on them now even if I wanted to! John Mellencamp takes us to the finish line today with his song: The Authority Song…  I fight authority and authority always wins… (story of my life!)  And with that, it’s time to get off the bus this week, and send you to the corner of a Fantastico Friday and a Wonderful Weekend!  And Please… Be Good To Yourself!
