Amazing of smallcap funds: instead of RD, doing SIP of 5000 here, then in 10 years, there would have been 2.5 times profit
Amazing of smallcap funds: instead of RD, doing SIP of 5000 here, then in 10 years, there would have been 2.5 times profit
There are many such mutual fund schemes in the market, which have made investors rich through long-term SIP. Compared to small savings, they have got many times higher returns. SIP vs RD Return: Smallcap funds invest the money of investors in the shares of smallcap companies. Investing in these is definitely somewhat risky as compared to largecap or multicap, but investing in them through SIP…

Title: Better Than You
Author: verobatto
Artist: Clara-AnotherStep
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Dean/Cas (mentioned Sam/Eileen, mentioned past Dean/Ana)
Length: 21950
Warnings: Internalized homophobia
Tags: Office AU, rivalry, enemies to lovers, bottom!Dean/Top!Castiel, character development.
Posting Date: October 4, 2023
Summary: Dean has many goals in his life, but there's just one that bothers him to death: to defeat the perfect Castiel Novak at any cost. This is a self-discovering journey, in which Dean will try his best to win against Castiel and not to fall in love with him in the meantim e.
Excerpt: For fifteen minutes Dean was trying to convince the poor employee from the hotel to change their rooms, yet it was in vain. The place was full and the room had already been booked by the organizers. Castiel sighed loudly beside him and Dean glanced at him with his brows furrowed. Novak was still standing there, staring at the ceiling with innocence all over his face, "I think this is like a test, don't you think so?" he finally asked, darting his blue eyes to Dean. A test? Like– a competition? Suddenly, Dean felt fired up. He snatched the keys from the receptionist and said, "Gimme that!" Spinning around to face his rival, Dean growled, "Then I'll be the winner of this test. Let's go roommate." (...) Once they arrived at the room, Dean noticed it was very spacious and there were two separate beds, but they were too close one from the other. He pursed his lips with anxiety as he saw Castiel taking off his tie and unbuttoning his shirt. Flinching in surprise, Dean exclaimed, "The fuck are you doing?" With a confused frown, Castiel cocked his head to a side, "I'm taking a bath–" "Why?" Dean asked, terrified. Narrowing his eyes in suspicion, Castiel replied, "Because we've been traveling for hours and I feel dirty?" Swallowing slowly, Dean suddenly realized he was being too dramatic, "Oh." "What's wrong with you?" Castiel asked, it was obvious he was feeling kind of annoyed by the way his forehead was wrinkling. Approaching Dean, he huffed, "The fact that I'm gay doesn't mean I will jump on you, besides," Castiel tilted his head as he scowled at Dean deeply, "You're not my type." What? Turning around, Castiel walked towards the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Dean remained speechless in his place as his mind repeated Castiel's last wo rds like a lesson to learn.

🟤 Fri morning - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime
✡️ Erev (before) Shabbat - Parshat Kedoshim - Leviticus 19:1-20:27 - “You shall be holy, for I, the L‑rd your G‑d, am holy” followed by dozens of mitzvot (commandments) through which a Jew sanctifies him/herself and relates to the holiness of G‑d.  These include: prohibition against idolatry, charity, equality before the law, Shabbat, intimate morality, honesty in business, honor one’s parents, and the sacredness of life.
💩U.S. ARMS - THE JUSTIFICATION PHASE.. 
.. US State Department: We think that the Rafah operation will weaken Israel's position in the negotiations for the deal and its position in the world.  
.. The White House stated the United States provided Israel with alternatives for action against Hamas, and that Biden directed his team to continue working to inflict a "lasting defeat" on Hamas. (( Israel tried the U.S. suggestion, but was unable to convince the unicorns to enter the tunnels. ))
▪️LAG B’OMER IN MERON - CANCELLED.. due to the security situation and attacks by Hezbollah, Lag b’Omer celebrations by the Tomb of Rashbi are fully cancelled. 
▪️WEEKEND PRO-DEAL PROTESTS.. in Tel Aviv, much smaller than last week.  Still thousands, loud, fires (this time flares).  As has become the practice, the protestors also broke out of their protest zone and blocked and lit fires in additional areas.
▪️EUROVISION.. is a big cultural deal for Israel.  Israel’s contestant, Eden Golan, has made the finals!
▪️THE AID PIER STILL HELD UP.. CNN: many weather delays - the US humanitarian wharf for Gaza suffers from challenges regarding the manpower to operate it. Britain changed its mind and withdrew from a plan to station armed soldiers in Gaza to unload aid due to security concerns.
🔸DEAL ACTIVITY..  Egypt calls on the delegations of Hamas and Israel, which left Cairo, to "show flexibility" in the negotiations.
.. CNN: In talks in Cairo, Hamas demanded that Israel agree in advance to a ceasefire and a pause of 12 weeks, not 6 weeks.
⚠️NORTH TO GET HOTTER.. Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper, close to Hezbollah: Iran gave an order to Hezbollah to step up against Israel, even at the cost of starting an all-out war.
♦️IDF ATTACKS.. IDF: during the last day the Air Force attacked and destroyed about 40 terrorist targets throughout Gaza including: military buildings, observation posts, terrorist squads and other military infrastructure.
♦️EAST RAFAH.. In east Rafah, troops located tunnel shafts, while the Armored Brigade killed gunmen in close-quarters combat and by calling in airstrikes in the area of the Rafah Crossing with Egypt.
♦️GAZANS EVACUATE.. Gazans: large numbers leaving Rafah, much more than what is reported on Al-Jazeera.  Gazans also leaving Rafah from areas not yet warned by the IDF, with the understanding that the operation would advance.
⭕ IRAQI THREAT FROM SYRIA.. the Iraqi Najabaa movement (a pro-Iranian Shiite militia) published that it will respond strongly to the Israeli attack this morning on its building in the Sayyidah Zaynab area in southern Damascus (Syria).
⭕ ANTI-TANK MISSILES.. fired into Israel, miss but started fires near Maayan Baruch.
⭕ HAMAS ROCKETS.. at Sufa, Holit.  It appears they have only short range from Rafah in recent attacks.
▪️BRAZIL CANCELS WEAPONS ORDER.. with Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit, because Israel bad.
▪️UNRWA: We decided to close our offices in East Jerusalem after Israelis set fire to the compound twice.

Our Path Ahead: Micaiah and Sanaki Meta
Tumblr media
"Stealth is rather thrilling!" "Shh! You'll get us spotted!"
Along with amazing art, a fun unit, and some adorable conversations, the latest duo unit in FEH offers a perfect chance to compare and contrast Micaiah and Sanaki's backgrounds as well as imagine how they come together post-RD. I'll be sharing relevant quotes from RD to showcase how their FEH interactions follow up from it, so this post will be long and spoiler-filled for both RD and the latest FEH update.
I'll first share Sanaki's arc in RD, then discuss their dynamic in the latest FEH update, and end by digging more into Micaiah's arc in RD.
Sanaki's RD arc has her contending with the fact that she can't hear the voice of the goddess, or do anything else associated with the apostle's powers. Of course, this is because Micaiah inherited these abilities along with her brand, but in the meantime, the senate takes advantage of the confusion to call Sanaki a false apostle and take control. This in turn makes her doubt herself.
At first, during 4-P, Sanaki sounds like she believes her upbringing should make her just as, if not more, capable than Micaiah:
Sanaki: “If Micaiah, an untrained girl from the streets of Daein, is fighting, then I shall stand my ground as well.”
However, she quickly learns what Micaiah can do. While she wants to learn more about why Micaiah has the powers she lacks, she is too scared to approach her at first.
Sigrun: “… We seem to have missed our chance to speak with her. What a remarkable girl. Lady Micaiah can hear the voice of the goddess Yune and learn of impending danger. She is much like you, Empress Sanaki.” Sanaki: “… Let us head back.” Sigrun: “Are you sure? You said before that it was imperative you speak with Lady Micaiah…” Sanaki: “It’s not important. Forget it.”
In 4-3, however, Micaiah takes the initiative:
Micaiah: “Yes, it’s me, Micaiah. Um… May I sit next to you?” Sanaki: “What? Oh… Uh…” “…Of course you may.” Micaiah: “Thank you. …This is awkward. I’m sorry. I know that you are not very fond of me, but I wanted to talk to you.” Sanaki: “It’s not that. I like you just fine. It’s just that…you make me feel inadequate.” Micaiah: “It’s because I can sing the galdr of release and hear Yune’s voice, isn’t it?” Sanaki: “How…did you know?” Micaiah: “I can sense the flow of people’s thoughts. By seeing the movement of a person’s mind, I can usually deduce what the person is thinking…” Sanaki: “You can read minds?! What a boon that would be to running a country… If I could read people’s minds, I could tell what the nobles and senators were thinking behind their smiles. I wonder why the goddess didn’t bless me with such power?”
Though Micaiah thinks Sanaki dislikes her, and she doesn't know they're related, she is already drawn to try to connect with her. Sanaki, meanwhile, is still hung up on the idea that Micaiah has the abilities she lacks, and that she could have prevented the current problems if she'd had them instead.
Later in the chapter, she contextualizes this while talking to Sigrun and Tanith, saying that after the last apostle's assassination and the ensuing power vacuum, her birth and ascension led to "a sigh of relief [that] sounded across the country." This is clearly a lot of pressure to put on a child! After all the turmoil the senate causes, Sanaki feels responsible, saying that "the country’s sigh of relief was unwarranted" because she couldn't hear the voice of the goddess. She's convinced the fault lies with her and the powers she lacks. Tanith and Sigrun, however, maintain their motherly banter throughout this conversation, and then confirm that they're loyal to her for who she is rather than any born abilities:
Sigrun: “If you thought that our allegiance was to the office of the apostle, well, you were wrong. Even from a young age, you have been working with Lord Sephiran to fight the senate on behalf of the people.” Tanith: “Our loyalty lies with you, Empress Sanaki. You will always be our empress. Please do not forget that.” Sanaki: “…I am…blessed. Not by the voice of the goddess, but by loyalty like yours.”
As will be shown later in this post, in the latest FEH content, Sanaki describes how even now, Tanith and Sigrun are still supporting her in a new world, helping her train and gain new abilities. Sanaki was raised to value herself for her potential inherited powers, but in the end, it's who she is that wins the love and loyalty of her family and the people of Begnion.
At the end of RD, the siblings come together and decide that Sanaki will continue to rule Begnion, no longer as an empire, but as a nation on equal footing with Daein, which Micaiah will always consider her true home.
Sanaki: “In that case, my sister, please consider staying in Begnion. With your power and charisma, you could do so much good here.” Micaiah: “No, I’m afraid I can’t.” Sanaki: “Why-Why not?” Micaiah: “Daein is my home, and Daein needs me to help it heal and rebuild. Not Begnion.” Sanaki: “But Begnion–“ Micaiah: “Begnion has you, Empress. You will be a just ruler. Make your country proud to have you.” Sanaki: “Will I… never see you again?” Micaiah: “Hardly. I think that what our countries need now is a sense of family and friendship. I ask that you sign a treaty of alliance with Daein and announce that we are equals.”
In this conversation from the epilogue, we see Sanaki continue to suggest that Micaiah would be a better ruler for Begnion, but Micaiah disagrees. She knows that Sanaki is just as determined to keep the people of Begnion safe and happy as she is to do the same for Daein, and assures Sanaki to that end.
In the latest FEH update, we see these traits in practice, as Sanaki is very committed to training for the ninja festival. Even in their friend greeting quote, she is still training while passing along messages:
Sanaki: Urgh… There's nothing to be done if we've been detected. Our infiltration training is over. Let's away, Micaiah!
I also love putting some of their castle quotes in conversation with each other.
Sanaki: A ninja... If only I had such a person at my disposal, perhaps then I might have quelled the senate's rampage.
Here, we see that in FEH's take on a teenage Sanaki, she is still blaming herself for the senate's actions and questioning what she could have done to stop them. She therefore still wants to acquire more power:
Sanaki: People are fragile... Which is precisely why they must learn to have strength. Do you not think so, Micaiah?
Micaiah, meanwhile, has quite a different line about strength:
Micaiah: It's about time for the festivities! Shall we take a short break? Participation in a festival takes ample strength.
As Sanaki's older sister, and having already seen how hard Sanaki is on herself, Micaiah encourages her to take care of herself and be patient. This is also shown in their level-up quotes:
Micaiah: Keep your head up, Sanaki. We are improving slowly but surely.
Meanwhile, we see Sanaki still has her drive to stop those with corrupt intentions:
Sanaki: Stand down! Your ill-intentioned deeds are over!
However, she may have another motive, in her desire for attention from her sister:
Sanaki: Aha! It hit the mark! Micaiah, you must observe this technique!
When they first met in RD, Sanaki was too nervous to even approach Micaiah, and came across to Micaiah as disliking her. But now she is actively seeking out Micaiah's approval and companionship.
All of this clearly follows up from their dynamic in the RD epilogue. What really sells this for me is their level 40 dialogue:
Sanaki: I can scarcely believe how incapable my body is of following my wishes. I can't seem to move like you, Micaiah. Micaiah: I spent my life running between alleys and the underground... I'm bound to have a bit more endurance than you. Sanaki: It may not appear to be the case, but I've done my fair share of training with Sigrun, Tanith, and a few others. Micaiah: You mean to say you've been doing special ninja training with members of the Holy Guard? Sanaki: To train, we've been swatting at fast-growing ivy in the mornings. At times it's so tall, Tanith must lift me. Micaiah: We are quite similar, you and I. We both take these festivals seriously and are earnest in our pursuits. Sanaki: Yes, well...er...we are sisters after all! Though, I simply figured if I was going to participate, I may as well go all in. Micaiah: That's one of your best qualities. You are incredibly decisive and have such strong convictions—a true ruler. Sanaki: Well...this conversation has taken a turn, but I quite enjoy being with you. Shall we continue this discourse? Micaiah: Of course, not only for our sakes but for Begnion's and Daein's as well. But we must watch those sneaky shadows.
In RD, Sanaki initially implied that Micaiah's upbringing would lead to her being less capable, but now it's presented as having given her endurance and survival abilities that Sanaki never had a reason to develop. This conversation also shows Sanaki continuing to train, as she's accepted that she must rely on abilities she cultivates rather than assuming the goddess will grant her power. Like Tanith and Sigrun, Micaiah is able to recognize that Sanaki's strength lies in her determination, which of course is a trait Micaiah shares.
Even as they spend time together incognito as siblings, they still have their political roles in mind, and their conversation turns to focusing on the abilities required of a ruler rather than only treating this as a family vacation. Given the roles they've both found themself in--Sanaki due to birth, and Micaiah due to circumstance--having a normal outing is easier said than done.
Their precious voiced conversation also showcases their different pasts, abilities, and experiences with family, especially in the first half of it:
Sanaki: Excellent. Now that I've slipped in undetected, all that remains is to reach out and take... Micaiah: Found you! Sanaki: Blast! That is the third time in a row you've caught me! What gave the game away this time? I suppose that is a foolish question to ask a diviner. You looked into the future, didn't you? Micaiah: Not at all. I merely took the time to familiarize myself with all the little nooks and crannies in this place. More by force of habit than anything else, admittedly. I needed that sort of awareness to survive, growing up. Sanaki: Ah... Of course. I can scarcely imagine the trials you must have endured in those years... Micaiah: Now, now, none of that. It's all behind us. Right now, I'm at a festival with my sister—and I couldn't be happier. It reminds me of festivals back home, though. I'd often see brothers and sisters leading each other around. It used to make me envious, seeing siblings holding hands, enjoying their time together as family.
I love how FEH presents the idea that Sanaki is learning to not define Micaiah only as the one who inherited Lehran's powers. While she assumes Micaiah relied on future sight, Micaiah in fact used the survival instincts she needed while living on the streets as one of the Branded. Sanaki expresses sympathy, but Micaiah, as a character who has a harsh past and looks ever to the future, is currently trying to live in the present--appreciating what she finally has simply by being there with Sanaki.
Though Sanaki yearned for the powers Micaiah has, in RD, Micaiah says she always felt they were a burden. She gets overwhelmed among groups of people due to always feeling their emotions, especially the emotions directed toward her. Considering how much hatred she's experienced throughout her life as a Branded in Daein as well as a freedom fighter, this is undoubtedly a traumatic thing to live with. Even when she finds people who support her, she ends up being put on a pedestal she never asked for. Seeing the future can also be a burden, as she may or may not be able to stop the dark visions she sees. So while a festival could be an overwhelming experience for someone with her empathic abilities, being at this festival in FEH, living in the moment with her cherished family and going around incognito as a regular person, would be a healing experience.
Even then, she is unable to turn off her survival instincts that tell her she must be aware of potential danger and places to hide. Meanwhile, Sanaki's own protection relies on being visible--on being able to call for her guards at any given moment, as well as use her status as a shield. Being stealthy at a ninja festival is far from her own wheelhouse, as some of their voice lines amusingly show.
It's clear that Micaiah and Sanaki have lived very separate lives, and they've had different types of family supporting them. Micaiah is used to sneaking around as part of a group with Sothe and the Dawn Brigade, most of whom are younger than her and who she must protect, while Sanaki is used to having the adults around her dote on and protect her as their liege, most notably Tanith, Sigrun, and Sephiran. She is used to being the center of attention, as is shown in the paralogue, where she does not want to have to share her new sibling with Sothe--but she also is used to being isolated on a pedestal rather than being treated as an equal. So in the duo unit's voice conversation, Sanaki is at first awkward about the idea of holding Micaiah's hand to walk around the festival, but quickly latches onto the chance for affection and companionship.
Sanaki: I hope you harbor no intentions of chaperoning me like that. I am an empress, you will recall! Still... I suppose I would consent to holding hands. If you'd like. Micaiah: Oh, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just reminiscing, that's all. But, since you've made me such a generous offer, how could I refuse? Go on, take my hand. Sanaki: Very well! Hehehe...this will be fun. Come, we have a festival to enjoy! Hurry it along now! Micaiah: Oh! Hehehe! Keep swinging my arm like that and you're likely to send me flying!
(Side note: this isn't even the only mention Micaiah makes to flying in this update. I have to respect her commitment to bird puns.)
Part of Micaiah's arc in RD involves her grappling with the idea of belonging. Years ago, she and Sothe were all each other had, due to her experiences being Branded and his own past as an orphan. They are used to relying on and fiercely protecting each other as a result. Still, before PoR, Micaiah tried to leave Sothe, as she didn't think someone who was Branded could really have a home or family. She knew that as she aged, her heritage would become apparent. The rejection that the Branded face gave her understandable issues with attachment, but thankfully, she and Sothe were able to reunite. By that point, traveling with Ike had also taught Sothe greater acceptance of other races, allowing him to support Micaiah better.
Ike: The first time I met him, he’d hidden on a ship we were taking. He mentioned he was looking for someone who was like family to him. It was you he was searching for, wasn’t it? Micaiah: I…I tried to leave him behind. When we went to Crimea, I split off from him and took a ship to Begnion. But when I reached Begnion, war had broken out between Crimea and Daein. I knew I had to return to Daein to look for him. I couldn’t find him, so I went to Crimea. But I still couldn’t find him… We found each other again after the war, in Daein. In the back alleys of Nevassa, where we first met. Ike: You took routes opposite to each other. Micaiah: When I told him why I’d disappeared, he got so angry… I’d never seen him get so emotional before. Ike: I can’t say that I blame him. I’d be pretty furious if I heard someone that I loved was wandering around two countries at war. Besides, I’m sure he’d hidden his feelings about being abandoned until he saw you again. Micaiah: I thought I was reaching the limit of how long I could stay with him. He grew each and every day, but I remained the same… I didn’t want him to be harmed by the curse I lived with. Can you imagine how hard that would have been on him?
Given how she literally has an ability called sacrifice, and is often put in positions of responsibility, whether it's looking after Sothe when he was a child or becoming the leader of a resistance group, Micaiah's first instinct was to sacrifice the bond she had, not understanding that her leaving Sothe behind would be harder on him. Never having been allowed to have a place in society, she underestimated her own importance to someone else. However, she learns that sacrifice is not always the most noble option or the best solution to a problem.
After speaking to Ike more, Micaiah decides that she'll return to Daein, whereas she initially had been thinking she would "travel to a far-off place." Though she was afraid to try to stay with the people of Tellius, as she had always been told that her blood was cursed and that she wouldn't have a place with anyone, she has found a home and a family. The chance to remain with those she cares about is worth the hardships that may lie ahead.
Earlier in the game, as she got involved in wider political plots, she had to make decisions about who to protect when she couldn't save everyone. This includes Tibarn confronting her with the choice to either surrender--thus dooming the people of Daein to the blood pact--or sacrifice Sothe, as well as her decision to protect the people of Daein even if it means fighting the other nations. Sothe is the only family she has known, and Daein is the only home she has known, so these decisions weigh heavily on her.
By the end, Micaiah has found things she didn't know she could look for--an answer to her mysterious origins, blood relations in Sanaki and Lehran, and a family outside of Daein. She and Sanaki can seek international peace together by working publicly from a distance, which is very different than Micaiah having to stick to the shadows or make sacrifices to protect the people closest to her. As someone who values peace, she no longer has to choose between her love and her ideals.
This quote from the latest FEH update (from when you power up the duo unit) sums this up quite well:
Micaiah: Let us unite in strength and mold this world into one of peace, together.
(Blessed thought to add to my ever-growing list of fic ideas: Since the herons can use sending stones, theoretically, Sanaki and Micaiah could use sending stones to communicate Post-RD. Diplomatic phone calls that turn into late-night sister chats!!)
Still, that doesn't mean that she's instantly going to know how to interact with people she just found out she's related to. In her talk conversation with Lehran in 4-final, she's unusually shy:
Micaiah: Um… Lehran: Yes? Micaiah: You’re Lehran, aren’t you? Lehran: Yes. Micaiah: You… Forgive me for asking, but… Aren’t you my– Lehran: Can we talk about this later? Micaiah: What? Oh, I mean, of course… Sorry to bother you… Lehran: Child, you couldn’t possibly bother me. It’s just, the talk you and I must have is going to take a long time. I don’t think Ashera would wait for us to finish. Micaiah: Oh… Very well. Lehran: What is it? Micaiah: Oh, nothing… Never mind. Lehran: Micaiah? Micaiah: Y-yes? Lehran: Looks like you could use some backup. I’m good with a staff, too, you know. Micaiah: Th-thank you.
Unlike Sanaki, Micaiah is not used to approaching a father figure, and trying to broach this topic with Lehran of all people is no doubt intimidating! He, being more used to this role, is able to demonstrate his desire to support her while remaining pragmatic about the urgent situation they're in.
I bring this up because in the FEH paralogue, Micaiah fumbles her initial attempt to spend time with Sanaki, bringing up Sothe rather than paying attention to the sibling she's with. As said, Sanaki is particularly likely to find this frustrating, and due to her trademark bratty personality and Micaiah's teasing big sis instincts, this leads to some banter. In the end, however, they are able to express their feelings and their desire to spend time together as siblings.
Micaiah: Ah! What are— Is this some new kind of ninja attack?! Hee hee hee! Get off, get off! Owowow! …Hey, that tickles! Sanaki: All those who disturb the apostle's peace must be dealt the most severe punishments! …Beg my forgiveness! Micaiah: Forgive me, O Apostle! I will forever more—until the end of the festival—enjoy spending my time with my beloved sister. Sanaki: …That's all I wanted! Micaiah: I know we haven't had a chance to spend much time together as sisters yet, but... I hope we can do this sort of thing together as family from now on. And with practice, I'm sure to get better about just enjoying my time with you while I'm with you. Sanaki: Micaiah... I'm glad you understand. Now, let's get back to enjoying our time here! We're wasting valuable practice time!
This family has plenty of baggage, but they crave connection and have a great capacity to support each other. Though their backgrounds may be different, there's so much for them to learn from each other as they lead their respective nations and become a loving family. I'm so glad that FEH gave them a chance to finally get to know one another and share the affection they deserve.

The MV was filmed by a local team in Romania in Buftea (src).
The show
Tumblr media
The name is in reference to all the American evening TV shows, like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon which is probably the inspiration for the title The Lost! Show starring RM.
Tumblr media
The text on the hosts' mugs says 남준 한에 (inside Namjoon, src).
Tumblr media
The stage, also featured in the Poster, is a labyrinth with no connected exits. You go in and out through the same opening.
Tumblr media
In this setting, RM appears disguised as the only two women we see: the anchor and the director.
Tumblr media
During the climbing scene, we see what's below the show stage. There are carton boxes and two trophies on the left, while it's suitcases and an abacus on the right.
The elevator
Tumblr media
From this point, RM is accompanied by four personas: an overconfident one (played by Audrey Kang), an anxious one (played by Hee Sin), and two others (played by David H Lee (Instagram post) and Stephany Yujin Hong).
The elevator has lots of details, notably graffiti:
Lost in several languages: Pierdut (Romanian), perdu (French), lost, 로스트 (lost again but written in Hangul), 길을 잃... (Korean, possibly 길을 잃었 땅에서, based on the lyrics but it's hard to confirm)
BTS-related words: BTS (written in a heart), 남주니 ♡3♡ (Namjoonie), 金南俊 (RM's name in hanja, src)
어쩔TV
산얀 바보 (San Yawn is a silly guy)
천재 석준 왔다감 (genius Seokjun is here, note that the "genius" is written differently than the rest)
JAM
Care, urs (hard to confirm those two but urs is bear in Romanian, so it could stand for "care bear", src)
まち (town in Japanese)
ghost (a reference to the lyrics)
わすれちゃ (forgetting/I forgot in Japanese)
There are also several details on the buttons.
Tumblr media
The numbers are arranged randomly (note that the clock visible in the credits also has randomly arranged numbers) and the destination names are mostly jokes:
12 5232 22
42 (42 is famously known in pop-culture for being the answer to the Universe, a nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
화장실 (washroom)
Pierdut (lost in Romanian)
Nowhere
We can note that there's a smiley on buttons 81 and 73. And there are two dots on button 98, then three on button 150. There's also a heart on button 3.
The offices
At 03:41, the persona played by David H Lee uses an extinctor directly on his face... after being the one who emptied the water tank on his face.

The MV was filmed in London:
the street parts are at Franklyn Rd (src)
the tunnel parts are at the Greenwich foot tunnel (src)
the closed road is Northwall Rd, along the Olympic Velodrome (src)

A/N: My friend convinced me to post this early because we both have no self-control.
If you want to be added or removed from my taglist, let me know! If your name is crossed out, I can’t tag you for some reason.
Masterlist
Riley
I’ve only been able to lightly dose for the past few hours, what with the nurses coming in to check on me or to make sure our baby boy is feeding properly and not losing weight for any reason. Then there’s the fact that we are in an unknown hospital six states away from our home. I doubt Sy will ever stop saying “I told you so” for that one but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity at the contract this firm is offering me.
I love running RD’s for Don because it also gives me the chance to pick up some freelance work now and then. I just wanted to get a feel for this company before signing on for a twelve month contract and I knew I wouldn’t want to travel once the baby was born. 
It’s hard to say exactly what it was that woke me up this time but what pulls my eyes open is the sound of a familiar voice out in the hall. The door is propped open, which Sy has been doing whenever he has to leave me alone in the room. It’s not really necessary since I have a call button for a nurse and it’s not like anyone but the other new mothers and fathers in the ward would hear me if I shouted for help but it makes him feel better so I don’t say any of those thoughts out loud.
“I need to call the office and let them know to expedite the paperwork. I’ll meet you downstairs in ten minutes?”
“Yeah, alright.”
A man in a suit speed walks past the door and down the hallway that leads to the elevator. The other man apparently wasn’t in as much of a hurry to leave the building because it takes a few more seconds before he appears in the doorframe.
Like his companion, he’s wearing a fancy designer suit. His sandy blonde hair is neatly stilled but one rebellious lock hangs down over his forehead as he reads over the papers in a manila folder.
He looks older than when I last saw him, although that’s to be expected when you let five years go by between visits. As I stare at his left profile I begin to wonder what his life has become. There’s no sign of a wedding ring and for him to be dressed as he is must mean that he has fulfilled his destiny and become a lawyer.
My thoughts are interrupted when the tiny human by my side wakes with an ear-splitting cry. Immediately, I reach out and take him in my arms, laying him on my chest. I rock him as I whisper what I hope are soothing words and it’s not long before he quiets down.
The next time I look out the door I find chocolate brown eyes staring back at me in shock. The young man opens his mouth as if to speak but no words leave his lips so he shuts it again. His Adam's apple bobs as he swallows and slowly, he walks through the door. He stops about two steps into the room, staying a safe distance from me and the infant cradled protectively in my arms.
“Is my baby sister really a mother?”
I bristle at his choice of words. “I pushed an eight pound Syverson baby out of my vagina, I’d say that qualifies me for the title.”
Arthur taps the manila folder on his open palm a few times then tucks it under his arm in favor of shoving his hands in his pockets.
“You have every right to be mad at me. I’m really sorry about what happened. I never had a chance to explain.”
I don’t think mad is the right word. Mad implies that I resent being cut off or that I blame him for it happening. He’d already been away from home for four years by the time I got kicked out after high school. It’s not like he could have done anything to help or to change our parents’ mind.
We led separate lives while he was in law school and I was perfectly fine with that. We saw each other once a year at Thanksgiving and that was enough. What hurt was that he told my parents about the porn. That’s what I was. Hurt.
“There’s nothing to explain. You told on me and you joined them in pretending I never existed. Thanks to you the McKenzie name remains unblemished.”
“Riley, please believe me… I told them about the OF because I thought it would make them give in and send you some money. I thought the threat of some bad press would force their hand but I was wrong. By the time I found out what they had done, you’d changed your number and you’d erased any trace of Riley McKenzie from social media. I didn’t know how to find you and I thought that meant you didn’t want to be found.”
No, I didn’t want to be found. I didn’t want to risk people from the strip club finding my real accounts so I deleted them all. I started from scratch as Razzy and even now, I haven’t really gone back.
“Ri? What’s wrong, why are you cryin’?”
Sy’s deep voice startles me out of my thoughts. He briefly stops in the doorway, studying the room then side steps Arthur to come stand by the bed. He places himself between me and the stranger invading his space like the loyal protector he is.
I can’t imagine what this must look like to him. First there’s a man in an important looking suit standing by the doorway of the room and then there’s me — crying as I clutch our son in my arms. Whatever he’s thinking, he immediately goes into Captain mode.
“What’s goin’ on?” he all but barks at my brother.
“Sy?” I wrap a hand around his bicep, partly to get his attention, partly in the hopes of holding him back if he decides to lash out before he gets the full story. He looks at me over his shoulder, keeping his body towards Arthur. “This is my brother. Arthur, this is my husband, Sy.”
Both men give a small nod of acknowledgment but the tension in the room stays high. I told Sy the full story of what happened between me and my parents and the role Arthur played in that. I guess I should say the role I thought he had played. Sy was understandably very angry. He might have also said he would break his nose if he ever happened to see him. At least we’ll be in hospital if something happens.
“How did he know we were here?”
“I didn’t,” my brother explains. “It’s a coincidence really. We’re waiting on a judge to grant the state custody of a newborn down the hall.”
That does absolutely nothing to alleviate the tension in Sy’s shoulders.
“Barely a few days old and you’re already tryin’ to tear a family apart?”
My brother stands up taller, not even flinching at the tone of my husband’s voice. It’s a not so subtle dig but Arthur doesn’t seem to realize that it was meant to be personal.
“She’s a druggie who told a judge in open court that if they took custody of her oldest child she would just make a new one. I don’t know about you but I’d rather give that kid a chance at adoption and a good life rather than leaving them with a mother who thinks of children like they’re a goldfish in a petstore.”
Damn. Credit where credit is due, Arthur has a lot of balls to stand up to Sy like that. He looks at his watch and mumbles a curse.
“Can I see you again once you get settled at home?” I’ve never seen Arthur like this. He looks deeply upset by the whole situation.
“We umm… we actually live near Atlanta. I was only here for work but our son seems to have had other ideas. He’s three weeks early.”
Arthur’s eyes go comedically wide. “Three weeks early and he was eight pounds?” Neither one of us was by any means a big baby. Even now he’s only around five foot ten himself which is considered tall in our family.
“Yeah, that’s all this guy’s fault.” I poke Sy in the arm and he gives me one of his signature smirks though his eyes are all soft, looking at me with nothing but fondness.
Arthur’s phone dings three times in quick succession, causing him to sigh. He ignores it for the moment, instead reaching inside his jacket and producing a business card. He walks up to Sy, extending his hand. It takes him a second but Sy eventually shakes it.
“I’m glad Riley has someone looking out for her. For the both of them.” Arthur sets his business card down on the table by the bed and directs his next words to me. “If I can ever help you, in any way, please call me,” he says, tapping his finger on the card for emphasis.
“I will,” I tell him honestly.
Sy follows Arthur to the door, shutting it behind him. The boy in my arms starts to wiggle and fuss again so I push my top aside to allow him to latch on to my breast. We’re going to have to name him eventually. We’ve discussed a few options but we haven’t settled on anything yet. None of the names we considered before his birth seem appropriate now that he’s here.
Sy sits on the edge of the bed beside me, putting his arm around my shoulders.
“Is there anything I need to know ‘bout what happened before I got here?”
“He said he was sorry about what happened with my parents. That he’d only meant to help.”
Sy caresses the back of our son’s hand going completely still when the little guy moves it away in favor of wrapping his whole fist around one of Sy’s fingers.
“It’s your call, Mama. All I’m gonna say is if this guy is half as bad as me, having a hot-shot Manhattan lawyer on speed dial might not be a bad idea.”
I burst out laughing, leaning my head on Sy’s chest. If this were a cartoon, Sy and I would both have little red beating hearts where our eyes are supposed to be. Baby Boy falls asleep right there on my chest and Sy takes him from me, gently trying to coax a burp out of him before putting him back down to sleep.
“What do you think of Parker?” Sy suggests, walking around the room in small circles as Baby Boy sleeps on his shoulder.
“I was thinking Maddox but I like yours better.” I get as comfortable as I can, feeling the alluring pull of sleep myself. 
“Parker Maddox Syverson,” he repeats, testing out the name. “Definitely gonna be a troublemaker.”
Sy kisses my forehead and I allow myself to close my eyes while Parker is placed in his crib with so much care I think my heart might burst from all the love I have for him and Sy.
“Even if he is,” my sentence is interrupted by a lengthy yawn, “he’ll be just fine as long as he has you as a dad.”
Sy pulls the chair closer, folding his forearms on the bed and laying his head over them. I begin to play with his hair, scratching slow circles over his scalp. I love his curls. He occasionally keeps his hair longer than he prefers just so I get to play with it. I hope Parker gets his Daddy’s curls. The motion feels peaceful and meditative, aided by the low appreciative rumble coming from my husband’s chest.
“I love you, Sy. Thank you for making this my life.”
He shifts just enough to reach my free hand, intertwining our fingers together. “Back atcha, Mama.”

1:
Tumblr media
4 shots from .... well.................. the very beginning aka chapter 1

2.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
also was anyone gonna tell me fujisakis hair isnt actually black or was i supposed to find that out for the first ever time yesterday
3.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
p much the same im gonna assume
4.
Tumblr media
ok this one im not super sure but i think its either somewhere in this section from ch1
Tumblr media
or this part from ch 4
Tumblr media
thought it might be him working overtime at first but theres ppl in the bg so it cant be that, and i cant rlly think of any other scene where he'd be making that kind of expression so .??? yeah

Tumblr media
SHOCKING!!! CHAPTER 2!!!!!!!!!!! U READ THAT RIGHT CHAPTER TWOOO
Tumblr media
HES WEARIN THE PJS..!!!! ok two things 1) this specific shot will probs cut to kurosawas side of things . maybe 2) im thinking ch1 and 2 might both be in ep1 which will be A First for any version but with the lack of any exposition and how fast ch1 ends im assuming theyll have ch2 for the second half of the ep
10.
Tumblr media

end of post. also bonus but adachi screaming at the end is probs not from this last scene but during the overtime scene . ok bye

Seven Stages of... Shock and Denial
Investigations were had, searching for that damn master keycard. Nothing turned up. I asked my one friend Xandra if she could possibly ask the cards "where is the keycard? Am I going to get fired?" I asked her over the phone, and I didn't know what the actual spread looked like. My whole livelihood and job was on the line, and these tarot cards could possibly give me a direction on where to go. I had no answers... no clue on what exactly happened...
Like I was there, but I wasn't. I was totally removed from the situation. Like in Mario Kart when you play against yourself in ghost trails.
Xandra was one of the few tarot card readers on campus that I knew. There was a few more, but I was the closest to her at the time. She was a girl who was apart of the Lazer Tag boys like me, but not really apart of it. She had her own friend group, one apparently that she turned two of her "guy best friends" in the group against each other. By dating them and breaking their hearts. I never really thought of it really, as I was dealing with my own heartbreak.
Xandra helped me with my worst heartbreak (at the time), it was messy and along with being stuck with my Mother. I got my heartbroken over text, I thought at the time I wasn't meant to be in a stable(ish) relationship. A whole lockdown ruined my chances of having something normal. Which felt unfair, it was drilled into my head as a teenager that I was going to have a "college sweetheart." I wanted to wash my hands of the abusive relationships of the past, and have something "normal."
She would say to me about my ex "He isn't shit// You can do so much better// He's ugly." At the time, I thought that was better, and I was doing better.
Despite helping me with my woes, Xandra and I would have late night excursions doing typical late 2010's early 2020's post-lockdown college girl shit. Except stealing traffic cones and dumbshit like that. It was a vibe... at the time. She even gifted me The Modern Witch Tarot Cards deck for my birthday. Another Blue themed deck to add to my Blue Tarot card collection, despite me not trying to have blue tarot cards. It just happened that way I guess.
So, she was a shufflin' the cards, as my stomach was a shufflin' too. I don't remember much from the spread but I do remember one card.
Tumblr media
The chariot, which the interpretation of that card for the question meant that; the key was lost either in my car, or on my way from the hill to my dorm building. I had checked multiple times for the key, I still couldn't find it.
"Am I going to be fired?"
Xandra told me multiple times that I was "fine"
Everyone told me that I was going to be fine, despite my intuition saying otherwise.
Big Sis told me I was going to be fine.
My RD after the initial investigation meeting told me I was going to be fine.
My friends told me I was going to be fine.
So, fine I let it go. The keycard was replaced at this point, and everything blew over right?
It was my turn to take over the office for "Active RA Duty" my co-worker had left her email open. I caught a glance of "RA Summer Position Offer." as I closed her email and signed into mine. I didn't have that same position extended to me.
I thought it was weird, but shrugged it off. However, I heard from another RA from an old building that she got it. I also heard another RA got the email too from another dorm building as well, along with all of the RAs from my dorm building got the offer.
"So why didn't I get the email?" I asked Big Sis, as I was shuffling and preparing my tarot cards. Because, once again she asked for another love reading about her affair with her resident. She told me that maybe they asked seasoned residents, she shrugged.
"Anyway about my question, Wha-"
I interrupted her, for once I wanted MY questions to be answered correctly. I asked the cards... What is going to happen about the key situation? About my job?
I don't remember much about that tarot spread, but I can tell you about the weather outside that day. I can tell you how her room was setup, where she was sitting in her room, and what was on her TV at the time. But I do remember this card coming up and gasping.
Tumblr media
Upright meaning: heartbreak, separation, sadness, grief, sorrow, upset, loss, trauma, tears.
I covered my hand on my mouth, there was no other meaning to interpret that. Big Sis still, reassuring me that everything was going to be fine.
youtube
Okay, so this is the last post before things get really messy and fucked are you ready?

Tumblr media
Steam Hams anyone?
Tumblr media
It’s the day before Hearth’s Warming Eve and after a great song, Twilight is doing the Twilight thing and panicking because she’s still got a lot to do and little time left. So AJ thinks of doing a Hearthwarming Helper to ease Twilight’s troubles. It’s basically a Secret Santa or in G5’s Case “Secret Canter” but with the ability to buy gifts.
So the episode splits into 6 short stories. Twilight, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Discord, Spike and finally Pinkie Pie. Each one is interesting in their own way so let’s speedrun them...
Tumblr media
Spike - He wants to get Rarity as his Hearthwarming Helper and first has to figure out which one has Rarity to trade. Some funny bits but he eventually gets her. Sadly, he spent so much time trying to find Rarity he forgot about what to get her. So he tried making her something but was so tired he fell asleep.
Tumblr media
AJ/Fly - After trading with Spike, Applejack and Fluttershy head to Rainbow Falls to find a gift for their Secret Santa. But Fluttershy got scammed by Flim and Flam and spent all her bits on a doll that nobody in their right mind would want. So to save everyone else, they put up an act that gets the customers to avoid buying it, but now they’re stuck with giving said dolls as gifts.
Tumblr media
Rarity - Rarity got Applejack and ordered a new hat for her. But the Post Office accidentally sent it to Sweet Acorn Acres instead. Rarity tries to get it but finds a colt who just loved the hat. Even though he knew she came to get the hat, she refuses to take it because it suits him better. And he even invites him to the Manehattan Fashion Week.
Tumblr media
RD/Discord - Rainbow Dash has Fluttershy and she is a hard person to give gifts to (take my advice, money is the best gift). So when she got a Candle, Discord came to persuade Dash to get a different gift. His suggestion: a Winterchilla. Dash goes for it hook line and sinker but unknown to her, when it becomes nightfall they become Winterzillas. So a Winterzilla is heading towards the castle.
Tumblr media
Twilight - Twilight got Pinkie Pie, so she thought it would be pretty easy. But after Spike says that the gift has to be extra special, Twily goes Twilynanas and begins focusing so hard on getting Pinkie Pie the Best Gift Ever. Her idea: Chancellor Puddinghead’s Pudding. During this time, Shining, Cadence and Flurry arrive knowing that Twily is going Twilynanas but knows its best to talk to her when she calms down. Too bad they weren’t paying attention to Flurry Heart.
Tumblr media
Pinkie - And Pinkie Pie got Twilight Sparkle. She had matching hats for everyone but now that she can only give one gift, it has to be the Best Gift Ever. And who better than the Yaks to find the Best Gift Ever? Apparently the Gift Givers of the Grove. Luckily Rufforford got a map to them. At their cabin, they show the power to see the Gifts of Past, Present and Future and after seeing the cards at play, know the perfect gift for Pinkie Pie.
Tumblr media
So when it comes time for the party, the Winterzilla is attacking, the Pudding is a Blob and honestly seems pretty tame compared to Black Friday. Fluttershy tames the Winterzilla as Pinkie’s Gift fixes the Pudding. It is wrapped up pretty neatly with a song that I think grew on me overtime. So overall, it is a fun holiday special with some nice cameos, good songs and fun stories. Sadly it can’t be canon, but maybe I could rewrite it with my Twilight in mind.
