Day 8: Ten Years After
I made a meta version of day 8's challenge, so here is how I predict the Steam Store Page will look like 2029, 10 years after the release of Pathologic 2. I mean, one can hope?
THIS IS FAKE and meant as a joke. ❤️

"Friendliness Training"
Written by Ka'hop Arczon
Any human who wishes to travel the stars (legally) must first participate in and pass "Friendliness Training". We were led to believe this is not the official name of the program, but every human we interviewed refused to call it anything else.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you may know, humans are deathworld predators, incredibly dangerous with a love of chaos, and as such possess many behaviors terrifying to other species. However, they are aware of this and how it affects their relationships with other species and seem to actively work against their societal norms and natural instincts to make others comfortable. Further proof of humans' compassion and the strength of their interspecies pack bonding, though that is not the point of this article.
To ensure that no human causes a diplomatic disaster and can work calmly and effectively with other species, the human governments agreed to have a standardized course and test that all space-faring humans must pass: the so-called "Friendliness Training". Through this training, humans learn to suppress some of their more threatening behaviors such as "smiling", the bearing of teeth that can mean anything from joy to malicious intent, and is very difficult for other species to correctly interpret. Until first contact with humans, the bearing of teeth was considered a universal sign of hostility, and this perception is not easily changed, as it is ingrained in many species' instincts.
At any rate, the universe can rest assured that humans are aware of their unintentionally threatening behaviors, and are voluntarily undergoing training to put those around them at ease.

A guide to the latest couple in Gay Hollywood: Florence Pugh and her new billionaire belle
Dream threesome
22nd August 2022
We all know Florence Pugh’s most recent hint that she is dating socialite/billionaire/business woman (get you a woman who can do it all) has sent the internet, particularly the WLW side of the internet, into a frenzy.
First spotted getting cozy at her older brother’s after party in April, the two family friends have seemed inseparable over recent months, appearing all over the globe and each other’s Instagrams, as well as being caught by paps holding hands, hugging, and touching in a more-than-friends way. But one, are they really dating, and two, who actually is this new love interest?
Here I am again, filling you in on the important people in our favourite girl crush’s life.
She’s actually been around the Pughs for quite some time
Y/n L/n is a very old and very good friend of the actress’s insanely fit older brother, Toby Sebastian, having featured on his social media since 2013. They met on holiday in 2004, according to the singer, and have been besties ever since. Talk about keeping a tight circle!
Y/n is the current CEO of the Chaos Hotels
While our new favourite rich girl jokes she is the ‘CEO of Rolling… Down Hills’, she does have the title in the bank. She took over the family business in 2018, making her not only super attractive but accomplished too.
The hotels are world-renowned, featuring in Vogue as well as hosting a number of celebrities. Not only that, but I’ve heard the bedsheets used are the best of any hotel. I haven’t been paid to promote the business (please pay me, Y/n), but I will vouch for the stellar reviews. The price for a room is extortionate but it’s worth it if we’re giving our money to that pretty face.
Don’t worry, darling (see what I did there) — nothing is yet confirmed
If you’re worrying, quite rightly, that your favourite star is taken, this is a reminder that no one has said the rumours are true.
The photos, the hand placement, and the kisses on the cheek could all be speculation.
Famed celebrity gossip account posted a sighting of the pair on their story, ‘Florence Pugh on my plane from Paris to Heathrow with girlfriend, Y/n L/n. Actress slept on top of her while she chatted away to the girl in the next seat. Seemingly very normal and lovely couple!’ But we cannot always rely on what the public say, oh no.
The thought of them together makes many of us flutter (myself included), because what a power couple they’d be, but we have no proper insight into either’s personal life.
That being said, Y/n has quite the life
Some Instagram stalking found us at the bottom of her page, all the way back to 2014. Scrolling upwards was like looking into the camera roll of Kate Moss in her prime; parties, cigarettes, tiny dresses, and expensive bags. We totally see the appeal.
In one post, she faces away from the camera, evidently topless, hugging model Cara Delevingne (no surprise that they know each other). She has an army of fellow socialites, models and actresses alike, who appear in the background of parties and galas.
We’re not sure why we overlooked Y/n before, but we are happy we’re looking now.
Nowadays, aside from partying and working, Y/n seems to be pretty normal
Her last few posts have been simple pictures of sunsets and loading laptop screens, with the odd smiling Florence Pugh thrown into the mix.
The duo don’t seem to be hiding in public, being sighted shopping in Tesco Express in London, going on a coffee run together, and walking around the various cities they have visited. While the most famous paparazzi pictures lately have been from the annual gala the billionaire L/n family hosted for their eldest son’s birthday, most photos circulating the internet are wholesome and domestic.
She is hot ;)
We didn’t need to tell you this, but just look at her. Go on.
We won’t judge.
Y/n is in Budapest, potentially meaning she’s with Florence while she films Dune: Part Two
Spotted eating out with a few unknown but cool-looking friends in boujie Babel Budapest, an upscale Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of the city’s downtown, we can align her being in the city with her potential girlfriend’s job. Florence’s publicist declined an interview on the basis that she was filming in Budapest, remember?
Stars Zendaya and Austin Butler have also been in town for the movie.
If the lovebirds aren’t too caught up in each other (unless you believe they’re just friends), we might see our favourite all-rounder expand her network to the likes of Elvis and Disney Channel. I don’t know about you, but who wouldn’t want to stare at a picture of the cast plus Flo’s exceptionally sexy family friend for hours on end? I certainly know I would!
She grew up in Kensington, London
The family have a lot of money, so we’re not surprised. Sources have confirmed she has a very sexy accent, so who cares if another member of the 1% is added to British Hollywood!
Kensington is a posh area of the capital, known for being expensive and affluent.
Reportedly, Y/n attended a boarding school frequented by the female members of her family. While her fortune is not necessarily “old money” we can attest to the reputation her family holds in upper class England. We do love a humble queen, considering her background. I’m still not over how she was seen with a Tesco club card. She is just like the rest of us.
And, finally, she’s told us exclusively via Instagram DM that… Okay guys we led you on. We tried to talk to her, but she responded with a wink emoji.
Tumblr media
We tried, we tried.

TROUBLE IN PARADISE? BRAD SIMPSON AND LONG TIME GIRLFRIEND Y/N L/N SPLIT?
On Friday, Y/n L/n and Boyfriend lead singer of The vamps, Brad Simpson were seen having a tough conversation in Brad's car, although unsure what about, it could be the fact that the two have split following the fact that on sunday night Y/n L/n appeared to go private on Instagram after removing all loved up pictures with Brad simpson.
It is unclear what sparks this break up as they seemed to be doing perfectly fine last week.
A source close to the couple said "Y/n and Brad have been through a lot more than the public think they have, only time will tell if they are to continue"
further commenting, the source continued to say, "Brad's focusing on making more music with his band and Y/n is focusing on her own line of work"
Another source also commented: "Brad and Y/n went through the ringer in the public eye, we all knew it was coming it was just a matter of when. Y/n and Brad liked to keep everything private so it was no surprise when everything came tumbling down."
The sun have reached out for comments from Brad and Y/n neither have replied.
Brad and Y/n got together shortly after the Brit awards of 2013 or though it is unclear whether they met here or not with Y/n being a manager for other musicians.
The couple have been together for 4 years, could this be the early seven year itch for the two?
⋆。°✩
The real reason Brad and I broke up was because of his fans, I was constantly receiving death threats, being rumoured to have cheated on him and I was constantly being called every bad name under the sun at the show. It was putting too much of a strain on our relationship that I had to end it for the sake of my mental health, we had officially split 3 months before the sun article came out they had photographed that way before putting it out, but we asked to hold off so that it wouldn't deflect the attention from day and night release. It would have created tons of bad press for both him and I.
The ringing of my phone interrupts me from my thoughts of Brad and I look down at who's ringing me it's annie,
"Hey babe, whats up?" I ask cause Annie never rings me unless its something she needs immediately from me, knowing that I was the worst at replying to peoples messages so If she needed something from me urgently she would ring me.
"just wondering if you were coming to the earlish halloween party, I am aware it's a monday so you've got work to go to tommorow, I understand that and wont be completely upset that you chose to not be there" "of course I will Annie, I need a bit of cheering up specially since the article came out today" "oh shit yeah, the article. You know what maybe it's best that you don't come to the party." "why? whats going on?" "Errr nothing oh gosh would you look at the time I've got to go." "ANNIE!" I say raising my voice a bit. "all I'm gonna say is just be prepared tonight, just be prepared okay? And come as the hottest version of yourself okay?" "okay, I still want to know what you've done" "and you'll find out when you arrive, be at mine for half 7" sighing I hang up the phone and start to get ready.
⋆。°✩
-BRADS POV-
"okay can we just go over that second chorus again please Brad." I sigh just wanting to be out of here, while Tristan was recording his drums I read the article, I just miss her so much and today was all about that because we are recording missing you, A song I wrote 2 weeks after the break up, when it was still fresh, not that It still wasn't. I miss her so much and it's times like these I still wish I was with her, when I felt overworked and just wanted her there. And maybe I should've just checked on her everyday made sure she was doing alright.
Maybe I should have loved harder Checked if you were alright I know I could have seen things in a better light Now I realise
I've looked for love but there's a space inside my mind Where I keep on missing you I keep on missing you If you've seen enough Know that I'll be right here Not with somebody new I keep on missing you
"perfect, thank you Brad you can go home now" the producer says to me and I'm hugging everyone goodbye. And I'm about to leave when Tristan says "Theres a party at Annies tonight, wanna go?" "err I'm not too sure, wouldn't that be overstepping the line a bit? I mean with Y/n and that?" "No. She said you two can be friends still, so still want to go?" "yeah I suppose" "Perfect, be there for half 7" which Is the last thing I said before heading out the door and back to my house (the Air BnB I've been staying in the past three months because I haven't managed to find a place yet) to get ready for tonight.
⋆。°✩
-Y/NS POV-
I arrived at Annies at half 7, the place was already pretty full. And I catch eyes and wave at her which gets her to walk over and give me a hug. "Y/n so glad you're here" "Thanks Annie don't think I've forgotten what you have told me. What was that all about anyway?" "your reason should be here soon, why don't you go and get a drink and mingle for a bit?" "why can't you ever straight up tell me something?" "you know how I grew up, my parents never told me anything straight up, had to find out how not to get UTI's and avoid pregnancy the hard way didn't I? surely you haven't forgotten?"
I hadn't forgotten, I remember that year, that was the great year of sex in 13 , we had both lost our virginities on nights out, I had lost mine with Brad after the brit awards after being invited by my university placement job and she had lost her with a guy I never met because he was a one night stand and she had a pregnancy scare, but nothing came of it other than me teaching her about protection.
"no I haven't forgotten." "right now go mingle and get a drink, you need to perk up missy. Oh and try to get a guy yeah? I don't need you sulking over Brad anymore" I sigh and then say "I'll try my best, but I'm not promising anything" "good, now go on" she says as she moves me in the direction then pats my bum while I'm walking away.
As I'm walking into the kitchen I spot the Aperol and prosecco and make a beeline for it because I needed something to get me drunk fast, and if anything an aperol spritz was it. As I'm making my Aperol spritz I see the front door go and Brad walks in, shit, that's why Annie didn't want me to come, he looks so good as well, I bet he's got a girlfriend. I have got to talk to him.
I make my way to where he's sitting in the lounge in a meaningless conversation with Tristan and Connor. "Y/N!!" Tristan and Connor both spoke at the same time and I sit between the two of them within the space that they created for me. "How have you been, How's work? Going good? How's your bands?"
"I've been good, just trying to focus on work right now, work is good, I'm currently trying to set up studio time for 5sos though and everywhere is backed up for months, and I'm also trying to book a tour for another band for summer 2018, turns out all those venues are booked out for summer, so if you have any tips please let me know, seems like 2018 is going to be the year for music, great for the artists and listeners, me? not so much" I say ending with a chuckle, which is reciprocated by Tristan and Connor.
"Well, You know, we try to get in quite early to the studio, just ask 5sos if they can come in earlier because those tend to be the most available slots, and if not I can always put you on an in with our studio manager, he'll sort it out for you" Tristan says. "Thank you Tris. You always are such a great help." I say putting my hands around Tristan's neck and pulling him in for a hug.
I haven't once made eye contact with Brad while I've been sat with them. I know he's still here because I can feel his eyes on me and I can also hear him say to me "Y/n can we go somewhere quiet please, just for a chat please" which I reply with "yeah, lets go up to Annie's rooftop, come on I'll lead the way"
⋆。°✩
We end up on the rooftop and I underestimated how cold the october air was, which causes me to shiver and wrap my hands around myself in an attempt to warm me back up and Brad offers his jacket to me which I kindly accept.
"So, How've you been? Truthfully this time Y/n, I know when you're lying" he speaks up after a few moments after silence. "Quite shit without you if I'm honest, where have you been staying?" "I stayed at Tristan's for a few nights and then got an Air BnB which I've been living in for a couple months now, just haven't managed to find a place yet." "I see, I see. How have you been, full truth no lying Brad"
"Shit, I miss you, I wrote a song about you. Recorded it today, want to hear it?" "I'm not so sure Brad." "fine but can I at least show you the lyrics, I've got them in my notes." "yes go on then"
And I read through them, and they are some of the most heart wrenching lyrics I think Brads ever written, when I pass him back his phone he speaks again
"Y/n I want you back, I don't want to live like this anymore, regardless of what my fans think I know you're an amazing person you can keep your Instagram private, Please just come back to me I've missed you"
"I've missed you too Brad, so so much." Is all I say before I'm pulling him in to kiss me and just like that we're back together realising that we're better off with each other than apart.
⋆。°✩
The end. hope you liked it :)

Am I Overthinking This?
Sources Point To No Yes Maybe
Witness states:
"It's not that deep bro."
(Bro being slang that does not actually mean brother in this scenario)
Witness states:
"You should probably kill them."
(It is unclear at this time if this is a joke, but the subject hopes it isn't and that the witness is, in fact, in support of murder in this scenario)

Fire? Try Fired!
Sources across the known world have reported accounts of a mysterious new element cropping up: fire.
Eyewitness accounts have been few and far between, with many people choosing to take this opportunity to acquaint themselves with things such as “cooking” and “science”.
However, using my smarts and various sources, I have been able to track down the Titan supposedly responsible. In fact, I’ve been lucky enough to score an interview with the Titan Prometheus himself. Here is a transcript of the interview as I sat down with him at the mountain. ME: So, Prometheus, first tell me a little about yourself, and how you found yourself here. PROMETHEUS: Well, I come from a family of many. My mother, Clymene and my father, Iaptus, and my siblings. Atlas, Menotious, and Epimetheus, my twin brother. 
ME: Wow, big family!  PROMETHEUS: Quite. ME: So can you tell us how this all started? I mean, it looks quite painful.
PROMETHEUS: It really isn’t my fault. It all started with a harmless trick. Zeus wanted me to divide up offerings, and I did.
ME: I sense theres more to this
PROMETHEUS: I may have played a harmless trick on him ME: Sounds intriguing, go on. PROMETHEUS: Well, usually Zeus gets the best part of the ox, obviously. I thought maybe it would be funny to divide the portions unevenly, make Zeus’s simply bones and fat. I really thought he wouldn’t notice. 
ME: And did he? PROMETHEUS: Yes, he did. But that’s not the reason I’m up here. My second mistake was defying Zeus’s will. I saw that mortals such as yourself were without fire and sciences, and I decided I would gift these things to you. Zeus saw this, and well, look at me now. He made Pandora to trick my brother, and tied me up here. ME: Sounds harsh PROMETHEUS: You have no idea how these things work, mortal ME: Well, thank you for sitting for this interview, Prometheus. PROMETHEUS: It's not like I've got anything else to do. So there you have it, folks! Us mortals now have fire, but our dear helper must suffer for this gift. Turn to the next page to learn more about Prometheus' family and their own sorrows.

One of the most common questions from new home owners is "where do I put my stubby?"
The answer is more complicated than you think! While each Stubby (Scientifically known as Stubbens Bombarda) can have distinct needs, it is always easy to cater to them.
In America and Canada, it is incredibly popular to keep your Stubbens Bombarda nestled inside your walls so that it may roam freely and eat the paste, but in places like Japan or Korea, a Stubbens Bombarda is often seen relaxing on the floor leaning against a tall surface. In Germany, France and Italy, a Stubby may be placed on a pedestal in the center of a room, some believe this would cause it discomfort, but Stubbens Bombarda from these areas have evolved over time to adjust to these conditions and prefer them.
In Brazil, it is outlawed to breed Stubbens Bombarda due to every home already coming with one, some underground companies attempt to make a profit on the easily obtainable mammal, but fail to meet its requirements.
In Apartments, Stubbies can be quite complex, if your building houses only two or three residents, it is possible only one Stubby will be present, in cases like this, it is not unusual to purchase an additional Stubby, but you will need a license. In larger buildings, Stubbies will form a large intricate society and thus allowing each room to posses one.
"What does my Stubby eat?" Is another common question for new homeowners, now, don't be embarrassed, many people growing up never saw their families Stubby eat or move at night, but the reality is your Stubbens Bombarda is entirely self sufficient and will eat all the natural pastes that form in your walls, they are also known to rummage in the garbage if you have thrown away any puddings.
"Is my Stubby unhappy?" While many people believe their Stubby is unhappy, it's comforting to know that the only emotions they feel are joy and unbridled rage, if your Stubby was unhappy, it would have already started biting you, but not to worry, there are many trained professionals ready to assess and help you appease your Stubby!
Many Stubbies live for over 6 generations, in these cases it is not uncommon to bring your Stubby along with you if you were to move, however you need a permit and you will have to fund for a replacement Stubby for the old residence. Luckily Stubby Inscurance will almost always cover the cost ( $50 USD )
In the end, a Stubbens Bombarda is precious and cherished part of every home, care is far easier than you may think! There's always help available to you if you ever feel confused.

so there's this thing which I've dubbed academic fiction, where I write a long, precise academic paper, confirming to your citation model of choice and everything, except every single thing in there is made up. anyway if I made a zine that was a pretend-academic journal full of only that would anyone be interested in reading it

"When the publisher of Sports Illustrated and Men’s Journal announced last week that its magazines would start to publish AI-generated articles, its CEO assured readers that the practice wouldn’t result in a decline in quality."
Men's Journal's AI-generated article: 18 serious factual errors
CNET's AI-generated articles: rampant factual errors and also plagiarism
Using AI to generate articles is the modern journalistic equivalent of selling "strawberry jam" made of red dye and no strawberries

This is an excellent NY Times interactive article, so the above link is a gift 🎁 link so anyone can read the entire article, even if they don't subscribe to the NY Times. Here are some excerpts.
Upending the outcome of a free and fair presidential election is no minor endeavor. It requires time, energy, money and, especially, an awful lot of people willing to do the wrong thing — or at least go along with it. The network of people who allegedly helped Donald Trump try, without success, to stay in power more than two and a half years ago may seem hopelessly chaotic, but there was a method to the madness. American elections are, by design, entrusted to the states and therefore decentralized. To meddle in them requires national masterminds working hand in glove with plotters at the state and local levels — a tangle of conspirators, enablers and indulgent bystanders as messy and sprawling as our democracy itself. And while it can be tempting to downplay or dismiss the entire nightmare as the pathetic machinations of crackpots and fringe figures or even to wave it off as ancient history, that would be a mistake. Those who worked to overturn the 2020 election are the same kinds of people and groups Mr. Trump would surely surround himself with if elected to a second term: unscrupulous or timid federal and state officials, ethically flexible lawyers and Republican yes men and women. Except that in 2025 those figures would have a better sense of how to dismantle the guardrails that once stood in their way and how to exploit the fault lines and weaknesses in our electoral process. [emphasis added]
Below is the final graphic in the article that shows all the people connected with Trump's coup attempt, including some who refused to go along with it:
Tumblr media
This interactive article is well worth reading, and I invite you to use the above gift link to do so.
