WIP tag game!
I was tagged by @chaeul @fairlylokai and @awiderangeofgreen (fr I saw the notifs and thought 'omg are they all the same game?? lets goooo'
RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
Listen, I don't have a wip folder per se, I just have a bunch of opened tabs (and even a tab folder cuz i couldn't read my tab names anymore 👀 the folder is literally called 'fic wips', oops?) Anyway, I go back and forth between fics all the time, like. Right now I'm working on 'rain surprising phayu' but the day before I worked on 'evil warlock phayu' and before that I worked on 'serial killer phayu captured rain' WHILE I WAS STILL WORKING ON THE PREVIOUS PART OF THE SERIES. Listen, I'm a mess. You don't wanna see the inside of my head, just- just skip it.
When I joined this fandom, I hadn't written in years and now- I don't know what happened, nearly 40 posted fics in and a wips pile to die in.
ANYWAY, here goes, I guess?
I'll just put down the work titles cuz ehh that's easiest!
evil warlock Phayu
serial killer phayu captured pai
BossNoeul - missed you
rain surprising phayu
Sky/Rain serial killer universe. BEFORE (this one is not really a wip, but it's precious to me so it gets an honorable mention)
Omega Rain first time back at the races
first day of kindergarten!
Okay so, that's most of them, I think?
Feel free to ask me about any of them! I'm happy to share 💜✨
Uhhh most of my mutuals have already been tagged so... sorry if you get double tagged!
@paperzombie @ivor-outlaw @misshanbb @misshprint @feychild1225 @copperstown

Catalonia, John Kelly, Donald Trump: Your Weekend Briefing

Catalonia, John Kelly, Donald Trump: Your Weekend Briefing
The undoing of Harvey Weinstein over less than three weeks underscored the increasing gravity of women’s accusations. Big-name actresses like the Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, above, have come forward with long-held accounts of his behavior. “Now that we are speaking, let us never shut up about this kind of thing,” she writes in an Op-Ed.

Actresses like Jennifer Lawrence and Reese Witherspoon discussed other perpetrators, and hundreds of thousands of women posted #MeToo messages.
In California’s capital, more than 140 women — including legislators and lobbyists — denounced pervasive sexual misconduct in the legislature. France, after a #MeToo-style outburst, is considering fines for catcalls.
And The Times reported a previously undisclosed sixth settlement over sexual harassment allegations against Bill O’Reilly, the former Fox News host. A month after the $32 million deal in January, Fox extended his contract.

3. Meanwhile, the wheels of government are turning, if slowly. Republicans, still striving for a single marquee legislative achievement in the Trump presidency, narrowly secured Senate approval for a budget blueprint paving the way for a $1.5 trillion tax cut.
The House takes it up this week, shadowed by news from the Treasury Department: the largest annual budget deficit in four years.
Republicans aim to pass the tax bill by Christmas, but few on or off Capitol Hill have seen even a draft. Here are the mechanics of the effort.

4. Senator Mitch McConnell and President Trump made a show of togetherness, moving to fill scores of federal court vacancies with conservatives. Above, Mr. McConnell, center left, with Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado.
On health care, Mr. Trump walked back his endorsement of a bipartisan effort to save insurance subsidies. Conversely, the I.R.S. announced a move that would bolster Obamacare: It will enforce the individual mandate, declining 2017 tax returns that do not disclose the filer’s health insurance status.

At the same time, the E.P.A. has been moving to ease restrictions on toxic chemicals, under the direction of a former industry lobbyist.

5. Without speaking President Trump’s name, two former presidents, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, in separate speeches implicitly condemned the president and the powers that thrust him into office. “Bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone, provides permission for cruelty and bigotry and compromises the moral education of children,” Mr. Bush said.
And George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund manager and a major Democratic donor, revealed that he had transferred $18 billion to his Open Society Foundations. A lightning rod for conservative critics, he is now squarely in the middle of the social and political debates convulsing the country.

Video
10 Minutes. 12 Gunfire Bursts. 30 Videos. Mapping the Las Vegas Massacre.
The shots began at 10:05. Twelve bursts of gunfire later, the police broke down Stephen Paddock’s door at the Mandalay Bay. The Times mapped 30 videos to draw perhaps the most complete picture to date of what happened.

6. Disaster recovery continues: A month after Hurricane Maria, 80 percent of Puerto Rico remains without electricity. “We need trucks, we need poles, we need crews, we need lines, we need more people,” said a local utility employee.
In Northern California, some businesses are reopening as investigators dig through debris to determine what set off the region’s staggering outbreak of wildfires, whose toll includes 40 lives and almost 8,000 structures. The findings will help decide who pays for damages that are estimated to have surpassed $1 billion.
The mass shooting in Las Vegas continues to mystify the public and investigators. Using forensic analysis, we mapped 30 videos on a timeline to reconstruct the attack minute by minute, above, drawing perhaps the most complete picture to date of what happened when Stephen Paddock rained an estimated 900 rounds onto concertgoers.

7. Abroad, Spain’s prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, in an unexpectedly forceful move, said he would seek the removal of Catalonia’s leader, Carles Puigdemont, to halt the region’s secessionist movement. It’s the first time a Spanish leader has invoked a constitutional article intended to protect the nation’s “general interests” — thrusting it into uncharted territory while escalating the crisis.
The question of independence is particularly complex in Barcelona, which is divided between its identity as a global city and as Catalonia’s capital.

8. In the Middle East, our photographer accompanied some of the U.S.-backed forces that drove the Islamic State from its de facto capital, Raqqa, Syria. That capped the group’s ouster from most of Syria and Iraq, but at the cost of unfathomable destruction. Above, fighters in Raqqa.
And counterterrorism officials say ISIS could morph into a new, lethal incarnation.
To the west, the Iraqi military vanquished Kurdish forces to reclaim Kirkuk, checking the Kurds’ move toward independence. The U.S., despite its long reliance on the Kurds in the fight against ISIS, sat by, lining up with Iran’s priorities.

9. While world attention has been on North Korea’s nuclear program, it has nurtured a secretive hard-currency trade that nets $1 billion annually, and built a cyberwar program capable of stealing millions and unleashing global havoc.
Elsewhere on the world stage, Nikki Haley, President Trump’s U.N. ambassador, made strident denunciations of Iran and urged tougher action by the Security Council against its “outlaw behavior.”
(She also received something of a tutorial on statecraft at a panel discussion with the former secretaries of state Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright.)

10. In Africa, some are referring to the twin truck bombings in Mogadishu that killed more than 270 people as Somalia’s 9/11.
Kenyans are on edge as the redo of their presidential election approaches on Thursday. The warring between parties led an official to say that the repeat might not be credible, either.
In West Africa, a health implication resulting from the 2013-16 Ebola outbreak is shocking doctors: Many survivors have cataracts, even children as young as 5. Above, a child preparing to undergo eye surgery in Sierra Leone.

11. President Xi Jinping’s dominance in China has been on display at the Communist Party congress, which culminates this week with a reshuffle of the powerful Politburo.
Here are the five takeaways from Mr. Xi’s marathon, 205-minute opening speech, which projected military and economic power.
And the extraordinary security clampdown on Beijing for the congress further emphasized his message: Nothing can stand in my way.

12. Finally, ready for a bit of escapism? For those who stream, here are 11 underappreciated TV shows now on Hulu. For those who’d rather scream, “The Walking Dead” returns tonight for Season 8. Here’s a look back at where the horror series left off.
“S.N.L.” is on a break. The next new episode will air Nov. 4, with Larry David and Miley Cyrus.
For a more erudite diversion, curl up with George Saunders’s experimental first novel, “Lincoln in the Bardo,” which just won the Man Booker Prize, or this year’s T Magazine Greats issue. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, above, a defining voice on race and gender for the digital age, is featured.
Have a great week.
