LALE!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU SO I RAN HERE THE SECOND I GOT THE ( REQUEST OPEN FOR 24H) NOTIFICATION. I guess it's obvious who am gonna request for😭the ultimate and my beloved dilf ROGER. So why don't we start with nsfw because as i said I've been waiting for your return that i didn't request him for a long time 💀. I trust you much and am sure that i will like everything you'll be making 🤍 (:

hi sunshine! wow you came running, i appreciate it a lot!! you know that i can never let a chance slip to write Roger hehe. and because i have zero self control, i also added some Rayleigh for me too. you're getting the double trouble (but seperate hcs). hope it's okay for you that i did this hcs style, i promise i'll write more longer scenarios with Roger in the future. <3

❤️‍🔥 (n.sfw) spicy headcanons for Roger & Rayleigh (gn!reader, no pronouns)

Roger

endless stamina, would fuck you three days and three nights straight if possible

bestie, prepare that you're gonna crawl the following day instead of walking straight, the D is too powerful but so good

confirmed: D stands for dick

oral king

would enjoy the sight of you getting off on his thigh until you're begging him to fuck you already

with his arms crossed behind his head he would enjoy the view of you grinding on his hard cock, your whole body trembling already and he hasn't even put it in yet

but oh... when he finally fills you up

turning the cabin into a whole planetarium because all you can see are stars when he hits the right spots

laughs a lot during sex, keeping the atmosphere light and warm, just a big grin on his lips when you muffle your moans with a pillow as he pounds relentlessly into you from behind

toys? sure, what do you got babe, oh yeah fun

isn't afraid of nipple clamps on him, an image i will probably never get out of my head again, bless this man

also kisses, lots and lots of kisses. likes to leave his marks on your body like a treasure map

isn't satisfied until he made you cum at least three times before he does, will groan into your ear where you want his load

would rub your back and hold you tightly after sex, praising you for satisfying him so well until he falls asleep, dreaming about the next round

Rayleigh

SIR my body is yours, treat if like an all you can eat buffet please

he will know from the look in your eyes when you're daydreaming about being bent over his desk again, leaning down a little to whisper in your ear that you should wait for him in his cabin

you: RUNNING

oh the shiver of excitement when he enters the room and locks the door behind him, standing there with his arms crossed and undressing you with his gaze alone

big fucking tease

won't touch you until you whimper how badly you want to feel his hands all over your body, how you want him to ruin you, how your core is yearning for his cock

extended foreplay king

knows about the importance of lube

loves it when your legs rest on his shoulders as he goes down on you (and even more when they start shaking in pleasure...)

Rayleigh can be a little mean during sex but he knows that's what turns you on even more

appreciates a good spanking and light breath play if your into that, if not that's cool too, he always makes sure to have your consent for everything he does

loves fucking you through your orgasms into a whimpering mess

always asks where you want him to cum, smirking when you spread your hole for him a little wider and admiring the view of his load dripping out of it after he pulls out

aftercare is super important to him, will cover you in kisses and stroke your hair while you rest against his chest, eyes closed, knowing you're safe and sound and so loved

She got the helping hand she needed

Sorry for not writing anything for such a long time! Don’t worry Loose the model but win a hero is going to be updated soon enough... Just give me some time to read what I wrote so far and I might have a chapter or two up soon?

Marinette only wanted someone on her side after she spoke her side of the story, sure Chloe turned from believing Lila to protecting Mari and she had Kagami and Luka on her side... But her class, miss Bustier and her principal thought she was the bad guy, a bully, a thief or even a villain.

She really just wanted a friend, someone who would let her cry or someone who would listen to her... Even just give her a helping hand! But so far she didn’t have much help, she decided to go online to talk... With the hopes of finding her soulmate, yeah her soulmate... Something that Lila had claimed she was lying about, while Lila talks about her soulmate mark without showing it... Mari was showing her’s to her friends while trying to figure out who it was.

Chloe really wanted to help her, so she went on her international social media accounts and posted Mari’s mark asking for anyone who might have an idea on who might be her soulmate to reach out to her, she really hopes it might help as heck even Jagged Stone did the same thing! Asking his fans to help out with finding his niece’s soulmate making his fans agree and get to work, they began looking at the mark Mari has, asking there friends questions, asking what Marinette is like so they can try and pinpoint possible matches to the girl.

And so far people were doing there best to find something... But still there wasn’t much, anyone could match the orange and black smoking dragon wrapped around her neck and might not even want to reach out to her at all, it made sense since like Alya said if Mari does have a soulmate... They might not even like her and want nothing to do with her once they see her for who she is.

Until someone contacted her.

It was on her instagram, she was just uploading a new outfit she finished that was delivered that she could now reveal when she got the notification of someone reaching out to her on instagram, it was a boy around her age named Katsuki Bakugo. The guy was blond with spiky hair and sharp red eyes, he asked about the dragon design around her neck making her take a picture and sent it to him... Five minutes later he sent a picture of his left rib cage that shows a ladybug with a needle with a red thread.

He was her soulmate... They matched.

He asked if she was disappointed… Knowing her soulmate was an explosive guy who yells often... So it wasn’t smoke but explosions around the dragon, it then made sense to her and so she replied that she would like to meet him before making that decision, Katsuki explained that he was in Japan and he didn’t know if he would ever get a chance to go to Paris to meet her so she explained that she could wait and that for now this was enough for her.

But that didn’t mean her classmates cared about waiting...

They kept bothering her, kept pushing and hurting her, they laughed at her belief of having a soulmate when Lila claimed she was lying, for weeks and then months they kept going and made it worse for the young designer, then one day Lila claimed that the dragon was painted on her so Alya planned to dump water on Marinette to show the whole school that Marinette was lying about having a soulmate, so one day around lunch, Alya had with the help of Kim and Alix a huge container of water and waited over the entrance of the locker room for Mari to come out and when they saw her... They poured the water on her.

Everyone laughed at her... And then gasped.

The sight of the mark still being there proved that it wasn’t a fake... But seeing a boy with spike blonde hair with sharp red eyes glaring at everyone as he rushed towards Mari told them that he was her soulmate “You alright?” he asked softly as he handed her his jacket to cover her shivering body as they walked out of the school and towards the Grand hotel to get dry and dressed in dry clothes, Mari felt relief when she finally saw her soulmate for the first time, he brought her into the room he was staying in and brought her to the bathroom to take a hot shower while he get’s her a change of clothes.

Once she got out of the shower wrapped in a towel with her pigtails down, Katsuki had just set down on the bed a nice dress for her to wear, to find her hair down and slightly dripping with water made him quickly look away, tell her he got her some clothes and leave the room... He hopes she never finds out that he was the one to design her dress as a gift for when he meets her, it was Jasmine’s idea to be honest, Jasmine was his and Izuku’s childhood friend back when they were little and she with Izuku were known as the youngest people to find there soulmate since they met when they were four.

At the time, it was a big thing meeting your soulmate... But when your four? That’s something the world had to know, so Izuku did a lot of research about soulmates and proper gifts and discovered that handmade gifts show a great deal of love... So he made her a green bunny plushie as a gift, when Katsuki saw Marinette’s mark only through Jagged Stone’s fan website he went to look for Marinette and discovered she was his soulmate... Not knowing what to do Jasmine suggested he designs an outfit for her to wear... And he decided to not tell her he made it himself.

Just in case she rejects him in the end.

It was better this way... So he doesn’t feel the pain of her hating his work, he went to the room Izuku and Jasmine were sharing while his parent’s were out to get things ready for the photoshoot he was to work in, he knocked and Jasmine answered “Did something happen?” she asked as he barged into the room “Students laughed at her after someone dumped fucking water on her!” he exclaimed in anger making Izuku look at him in slight surprise “Kacchan... I get that your upset right now... But remember that you just met so your emotions are going to be all over the place right now” Izuku explained making Katsuki sigh and nod.

It was true, it has been confirmed that when you meet your soulmate or at least confirm who it is... Both person’s emotions go crazy for 24h of official meeting, so it’s best to be careful what you say of do when the pair is found “I just don’t know what to do?! What if she hates me!? I mean she was being bullied!! What will she think when she finds out what I used to do to you and Jasmine!?” he asked making Izuku sigh “I know it’s hard... But at least let her decide what she thinks? She might just surprise you” he explained as Katsuki sat down on the bed... He didn’t even notice Jasmine leaving the room to go find Marinette.

She walked into the room as Marinette cried with her phone in hand... She could tell the girl was going through something hard right now from something on her phone “Can I take a look at what is upsetting you?” she asked making Mari jump at her slightly, she then nodded and handed over her phone for Jasmine to look at... On the phone a girl named Alya was calling her a liar by getting a tattoo and claimed it to be her mark and then paying a guy to come over to the school to make them think there soulmates, a teacher sent an email saying she was getting detention for her actions at school and then a guy named Adrien was claiming to be disappointed in her on not taking the highroad like he said she should do.

She sighed and then moved to sit next to her on the bed “Allowing yourself to look at this isn’t healthy... Your allowing them to take you down into a depression to then end your life” Jasmine explained as she handed Mari her phone back “Katsuki would have been heartbroken if his mark vanished before meeting you... Let us help you to get better from this” she then offered and stood up with her hand stretched out for Marinette to take, she wasn’t all that sure of agreeing to be honest but the brunette seemed to be honest and kind... So Mari accepted the hand and follow the girl out of the room and towards another room where Katsuki and a curly green haired boy were.

The blonde turned to find Marinette still with her hair down but while wearing the beautiful sunset styled dress, he felt proud of designing the dress because she looked amazing while wearing it “You should call your parents and explain to them the situation” Jasmine said making Mari nod and quickly call them, explaining why she left school and her current location, they only ask for her to pick up her things from school and then stay safe where she was currently “If you want I can go to the school for you, just tell me your locker combination” Jasmine explained making Mari nod “Oh! Also i’m Jasmine Lessard and this is my soulmate Izuku Midoriya” Jasmine explained making the green haired boy nod to his introduction.

Jasmine left and came back with all of her things with a smile “Police came because someone witnessed the incident and demanded to see the CCTV footage and that the three students who dumped the water on you to be punished... So you don’t have detention anymore” she explained making Mari smile, but she was sure that it wasn’t over just yet, even so the trio began to talk to Mari about there life in Japan making Marinette happy about hearing all of this at the moment, after a while Jasmine left the room with Izuku to head out to find something to eat... Leaving Katsuki to reveal to his soulmate how he bullied his two friends from childhood.

And she still accepted him as her soulmate.

“Your trying to change your ways... The others changed for the worse while your fixing what you did wrong” she explained making him smile, the thought of her accepting him even after finding out that had bullied people before like she had gone through made him happy “I guess I should tell you... I actually designed the dress your wearing. My parents are fashion designers so it’s pretty much in the family” he explained making Mari smile at the news, the idea of her soulmate being close to designing made her happy at the fact he could help her in some ways, they began to talk about all kinds of things... Really anything they could think of until Izuku and Jasmine got back with Chloe right behind them with a look of relief at seeing Mari was alright.

For the next three days, Mari got to know Katsuki a little better making her really happy, after that he had work to do and wasn’t able to see her “Why don’t you come to the shoot? My parents have been bothering me since they saw the dress was gone” he explained making her smile and nod to the plan, when school ended she rushed home to put her things away and then went to the park to find Jasmine and Izuku were getting there make-up done for the shoot “Where’s Katsuki?” she asked making Jasmine look at her “He’s still changing... Turns out he and his mom don’t agree on something so there fighting at the moment” she explained making Mari nod as the two then moved to do the shoot.

She waited for a while as Adrien arrived with Lila, Alya and Nino with him, Lila noticed Mari and began to cry about how Mari had been sending her horrible texts about how her soulmate Katsuki Bakugo will hate her, Alya enraged was just about to head over when Katsuki went over to Mari with a lady who looked like him “Mari, this is my mom Mitsuki” he said making Marinette smile “So your the girl my brat Katsuki designed that dress for! My you are simply adorable!” she claimed making Mari blush at the woman's words.

Alya was lost, didn’t Lila say her soulmate was Katsuki? But that guy is Katsuki since she did show pictures of him... Did she lie? With a shake of her head she watched as Mitsuki took Mari away for something making Alya have no other choice but go back in defeat to her friends, Adrien moved away with Lila to get ready for there shoot while Alya told Nino what she heard “Maybe it’s the wrong guy? Just ask for his full name and see” he explained making her nod as she then saw Marinette dressed in a matching outfit to Katsuki walk over to the boy for a shoot together “You both look amazing! And your marks are in perfect view!” Mitsuki claimed as Alya saw the ladybug with sewing needle and red thread mark on Katsuki.

Lila lied. Katsuki wasn’t her soulmate... He was Marinette’s.

She looked over to Nino who had the same shocked face as she did, the duo then walked away for there shoot just as Lila and Adrien returned and a girl with short brown hair with the bottom half dyed red with glasses and a boy with curly green hair went to sit a little away from them “Oh my god it’s my BFF Jasmine! You know I actually helped her meet her soulmate Izuku a few years ago!” Lila claimed as Adrien while he did look interested... Actually winced at the lie “Dudette... Jasmine and Izuku were the youngest soulmate pair in history... They were four when they met and it’s still all over the news today” Nino explained as Lila went pale.

“You want to know something?” Alya asked the blind Lila who nodded with a smile “I saw the blonde boy, his name is Katsuki Bakugo and his mark on his left rib side... It’s a ladybug with a sewing needle and a red thread!” she claimed making Lila’s eyes widen in shock “The only one I remember being called a ladybug was Marinette who also loves to design clothes! We just began calling you our ladybug after you claimed Mari was insulting us and bullying you!” she exclaimed as Lila looked to be panicking at the fact she was found out like this.

Adrien on the other hand... Didn’t know what to do, he turned to look over where the two from the previous shoot were and saw that they were... Laughing and filming the whole thing, this was humiliating! If the video got out his father would be destroyed and known as the man who hired a liar as a model! He had to try and save himself, he looked around for some possible help but the sudden yelling fight between Alya and Lila made him move away to try and hide, he couldn’t believe he failed... He really thought that by being Lila’s friend she would at some point stop lying and change her ways... And yet it didn’t work... Instead his friends got hurt.

He began to look around for some help and ended up finding Marinette and Katsuki looking amazing during there shoot... Maybe even better then he and Lila ever could be really, he felt his heart break as he looked at his inner right wrist to where a beautiful vine of flowers graced his skin... He still didn’t know who his soulmate was and his father wanted him to date Lila, even so he tried looking at places with plants in Paris for his soulmate and could tell they weren’t in Paris at all... He just hopes to find them soon.

In the end Jasmine was actually livestreaming the whole incident with Izuku commenting the whole time in the chat... Letting everyone know about how Lila is a liar, how she tricked her classmates, teacher, principal and maybe even her parents and bullied his best friends soulmate... It went crazy and Lila was bombarded with insults on her social media... So much that she was reported and all her accounts were taken down, the class, Bustier and principal Damocles were also attacked for what they did to Marinette... Police ended up getting involved and investigated the school and class.

It took a month before the investigation was over, the class was punished, Bustier and Damocles were fired and Lila was sent to live in Italy... The class thought that things would then go back to how they were and would be friends with Mari again... But she never came back to class, there new teacher said she transferred to another school making them try to look around Paris for her... What they weren’t told was that she also left Paris for Japan to be with Katsuki and meet his friends.

She really did get the helping hand she needed all along.

Waiting for you - Jung Sungchan

Masterlist💕

Pairing: Sungchan x reader

Words: 808 words

Warnings: nothing just fluff

Request: nope

Note: idk in what dorm the new members live so I just put them in 127’s (10th floor based on 24h relay cam) dorm so that’s with Jaehyun Jungwoo, Taeil, Yuta and mark

You texted your boyfriend if he would be at the dorm soon. You already knew he wouldn’t be here soon so you were just hanging in his dorm with Mark. You were good friends with most of Sungchan’s members. You were watching movie on the TV and you grew kind of tired since it was getting quite late.

“Y/n just go to bed I’ll tell Sungchan you’re here and sleeping.” Mark said after he saw you yawing for the nth time You hummed and stood up. Said a quick goodnight and went to wash up. After having done that you grabbed a shirt and pyjama pants from his closet and played down in his bed. Being surrounded by his scent made you relaxed and fall asleep faster than you expected.

So when Sungchan finally came home you were already sound asleep. He had lost track of time and when he finally looked at the time he hurried home. He tough you had already left so he wasn’t expecting you to still be there. When he opened the door he took off his jacket and shoes and went to the living room and saw mark sitting there alone. He sighed, he was kind of bummed out you weren’t there anymore. Mark must’ve noticed because he looked at sungchan and said “Don’t worry she was tired and went to sleep in your room.” He was relieved and happy you were still there.

He knocked on his room door, no answer. So he opened the door quietly. He didn’t turn the lights on but just used his phone light. He saw you sleeping on his bed, in his clothes. He has seen it before but it still makes him soft inside. He changed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. When he came back he went to lay beside you. You turned to him and he put his arm around you.

“Hey you finally came.” You said sleepily. “Yeah I’m sorry I’m so late baby.” He looked down at you and you hugged him. “Its okay baby just don’t overwork yourself.” He hummed and felt that he was falling asleep fast too. You opened your eyes a little and saw him almost asleep.

You woke up and looked at the alarm next to sungchan’s bed. It reads 9 am. It was a friday morning so you had class at 11 so you still had time. You cuddled into sungchan while he was still asleep. You almost fell asleep again but you set a alarm for 15 minutes for when you needed to get ready. The alarm rang and you got out of his arms. He whined a little but you had to get ready and you couldn’t be late. You put on one of Sungchan’s hoodies and a pair of jeans. He woke up while you were in the bathroom brushing your teeth. While you were doing your makeup he stood in the doorframe.

“Why did you get out of bed?” You asked him and he shrugged. “Its cold without you.” You smiled and focused on your mascara. He came up behind you and hugged you. He was taller than you so he put his head on your head. “You look cute in my hoodie” he told you. It made you blush. When you were done you stepped back and walked to the kitchen. “Should we order food or do you wanna get ready so we can eat something outside?” You asked him and he smiled “Let me get ready fast.” You walked to the couch where you sat down to wait for him. After a couple minutes he came out of his room and you both walked to the door. You both decided to just get some ramen at the convenience store fast so he could walk you to school.

After eating the food he grabbed you hand and you two walked to school. You two talked about what you both were going to do today. When you stood in front of the building you needed to be at you turned to him. “I’m going to be so bored when you are done baby” he looked at you. You laughed “oh you’ll survive, just go annoy Mark with how much you miss me, I think he’ll like that.” Now it was his turn to laugh. You saw your friend walking to you. So you said goodbye to sungchan and gave him a quick kiss. You walked to your friend and waved at your boyfriend.

He was fake crying and made you laugh.

“he is too cute” you thought

The Destiel Folder: Season 5

[Season 4 here]

Episode 1:

Dean is visibly upset about Cas' death, especially at (6:07), and Zachariah notices. From here on, we have a progressive worse reaction from Dean to each of Castiel's deaths

Dean calls Cas a 'friend', again sounding very upset (8:20)

We also get a parallel between Dean and Sam: "I learned that from my friend Cas, you son of a bitch!" and "I learned that from Ruby." (9:10) ICWAW, this parallel would implicate romantic subtext

Cas comes back, bringing top energy onto Zachariah, and Dean just... checks him out (32:43) [this is a frequent thing by the way, I'm on S10 right now, it is]

Episode 2:

I'm so fuckin sorry but I'm laughing too hard at this: D"God" C"Yes" D"God" C"Yes!" (4:09) guys, don't sex-talk in front of Sam and Bobby

"I rebelled, and I did it, all of it, for you." (4:54)

Dean gives in to Cas' top energy "Dean, give it to me." (5:53) shit, guys, enough sex-talk

Episode 3:

The 'personal space scene'. Dean, love, if someone is in your personal bubble, and you don't want them there, you don't stand there for 10 seconds while flicking your gaze from their eyes to their lips TWICE (6:04) ICWAW, these scene would be read as full of sexual tension

Dean here compares himself and Cas to Thelma & Louise, from a movie with HELLA lesbian subtext. And the way he looks at Cas for 7 seconds, tongue between his teeth and just... this fucking look (7:37)

You don't look at friends that way. You don't.

"I need your help, because you're the only one who'll help me. Please". (7:58) Cas trusts Dean will help him while no other would, and he is right... also Dean keeps glancing at his lips

The way Dean fixs Cas' tie and collar, so domestic. (10:34) [This will parallel in 10x05 when Dean messes up musical!Castiel's tie for it to be a legit costume.] Also, the whole police station scene is full of Old married couple moments

"There are two things that I know for certain. One, Bert and Ernie are gay." And then they were voted best chemestry couple like Bert and Ernie. Just saying. (16:23) "Two, you are not gonna die a virgin. Not on my watch... let's go."... and Cas just follows Dean like nothing, but later on...

... Cas is beyond terrified at the idea of being intimate with a woman (11:24),

tho he followed Dean with no problem. ... Did... did he think Dean was making an offer?

He chugs down a beer in fear, poor baby

And he is so jumpy I'm dying

Dean admits Cas is the only one who has made him laugh for real in years (20:58), also, shoulder hug, and Cas, who was on the verge of tears a moment earlier, is smiling and comfortable now.

"Don't look at me, it was his idea." (26:57) the look Cas gives Dean, they're so fucking #MARRIED

"Today you're my little bitch." "... What he said!" Dean is impressed and amused by Cas' smugness (and top energy) (31:55) Basically "Well, mark me down as scared and horny!"

Dean understands how Cas feels, and wants to help. He says he feels good with him "I've had more fun with you in the past 24h that I've had with Sam in years... and you're not that much fun." (36:06) Dean doesn't want to be alone, didn't want Cas to leave.

Episode 4:

Dean sounds and looks like a teenager on the phone with their crush, teasing Cas while smiling softly (1:22). Also "I'll just... wait here then." (2:15)

Even as a mortal, Cas stuck with Dean through the apocalypse, living in pain, chugging down drugs, but never leaving Dean's side. Being his second during hunts. Having only each other

And this Cas can recognize this Dean is not his own only by glancing at him for a moment (... by looking at his dick?!) (18:37)

Dean is stunned and concerned about apocalypse!Cas and how his life turned out

Apocalypse!Cas sits like Dean. Aww, they've been rubbing off on each other [yeah, I bet] (22:27)

"I like past you!" and that smile. So sweet and nostalgic (25:35)

This whole scene (23:48). They are so #MARRIED

Dean is concerned about Cas doing drugs, being basically depressed and living like shit (28:03)

Cas saves Dean again. "We had an appointment." "...Don't ever change." and the way they stare at each other (38:49) look at those smiles and how longingly Cas looks at Dean

Episode 8:

Not a destiel moment, but Dean is totally BI: (12:04); "Sure" (12:42); "What makes Dr Sexy, SEXY, is that he wears cowboy boots!" (12:57); and Dean loves cowboys, just saying

Is... is Dean thinking about Cas being pretty? And about the fact that a creepy guy just called his angel 'pretty'? (20:26)

First thing Dean requests Gabe does is to bring Cas back, threatening him

Episode 9:

Dean reacting to Damien and Barnes being a couple is... LOL (36:27) and after that (38:40), he is on his own, fiddling with his keys, smiling to himself. And when Sam asks if he is okay, he responds "Yeah, you know? I think I'm good." while still smiling to himself. Is he happy about an queer man portraying him, about seeing himself in a confident, openly queer man in a relationship? What else could it be?

Episode 13:

Dean gets more and more worried when Cas gets/is hurt (9:45)(38:02). Also, he got Cas a honeymoon suite. Wow. How sweet.

Episode 14:

The phone call scene. The stares, the tension... look at this shit (10:00)

Dean, stop checking out Cas. You're working. But seriously, look at him. He likes his roughness. AND AGAIN WITH THE LIPS STARING (11:02)

Dean and Cas, after being touched by a cherub, stand shoulder-to-shoulder close to each other, in front of a bi-coloured window (13:26-13:33) I MEAN- Also, Dean, you're staring at a naked man's dong... just saying (13:33-13:36)... stop that, be a professional

Is this the first wink Dean gives at Cas? (14:37) for real? With a cherub in the room? Wow.

(16:16) "Where did he go?" "I belive you upset him." Look at Cas during this scene. #MARRIED

Cas asks Dean where his Famine-induced-hunger is, why he seems unaffected by it... and Dean stares at Cas, then the burger he is holding, then back at him, like he has everything he could want right there, in his Baby (29:22)

Episode 16:

... I'm sorry, but... did Cas really have to MOAN Dean's name to get his attention? (5:24)

I believe this is the first time we ever hear Dean say the words "I love you" (14:38-28:09), and he is saying them to Sam. The only other time we hear him say it is to his mother in 12x22. And the only other person he was supposed to say those words to was, in fact, Cas in 8x17. Let that sink in.

"You son of a bitch." Dean's been rubbing off on Cas, and this is not the only line he has picked up from Dean (38:29)

Episode 17:

This is such a sweet scene. Cas is showing himself weak once again, and Dean sympathises with him, reassures him, confides in him. How sweet. (30:17) ICWAW, this would be seen as a romantic bonding moment

Episode 18:

Cas legit looks like an angry wife. Look how pissed he is at Dean (6:19) #MARRIED

This is such a #MARRIED scene, with Cas being pissy at Dean "being a coward". Also "Yeah, you know what? Blow me, Cas!" and his look after that, like "Does... does he actually want me to?" (13:22)

and this is not the last 'sexual invitation' Dean makes Cas. In fact, minutes later...

"Cas, not for nothing, but, the last person who looked at me like that... I got laid. *wink*" ... just... that (17:53). ICWAW, people would believe this was flirtatious, SHAMELESS, teasing

Look at that FULL TOP MODE tho

"I gave everything for you, and this is what you give to me?" (25:28) Cas is not just angry at Dean for giving up on the plan, but for giving up on life, on them. "So you could surrender to them?" (25:17) not "So you can let them win". It could've been phrased that way, but this is not about the angels winning. It's about Dean giving up on them. Cas is 'cause Dean would be selfishly leaving them

Cas starts taking off his tie and... Dean just stares (31:46). Moments later, we find out Cas totally took his shirt off in front of the boys to make the banishing simbol on his chest, and by the way Dean was STARING when it was only a tie, I bet he either gawked or averted his eyes. Either way, GAY

Cas prefers to die rather than watch Dean fail and die himself (31:55) Also, Sam still thinks of Dean as a hero who can do no wrong, while Cas recognizes his flaws and weaknesses. He knows Dean

Zachariah grabs Dean by the collar and gets in his face. Dean does nothing but flinch a little, mantaining his strong appearance. He only submits and looks overwhelmed when Cas does it (37:50)

Episode 19:

Cas is priority to Dean over Adam. He's more family to him than his actual blood (5:29)

Episode 21:

Cas is basically human, bloody, hurt, powerless and weak. First thing he does? Reach out for Dean (3:16)

Cas is still weak and powerless, and took a bus for miles, just to get back to Dean (12:35)

Episode 22:

Moments before basically going and kill himself, Dean focuses on Cas instead of Bobby, his father figure (24:35)

Cas is on the verge of tears at the thought of Dean dying (25:20)

We know Cas can heal without having to touch the body, but we always see him reach for contact with Dean (35:52) [That's why in S15, it hurts to see Cas not touching Dean while healing him. It feels unnatural]

Dean loves cowboys, and associates Cas to a sheriff. Cas, knowing that, smiles softly at the idea(37:30). Also, Dean obviously doesn't want Cas to leave, and tears up when he does

24h hour lockdown

RiseLeo X gender neutral reader.

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

You had walked into the lair with the intention of playing video games with Mikey and watching Lou Jitsu films with Raph. However, blaring red lights and a panicked Leo was something you were not expecting. His tall, lanky frame ran chaotically around the garage arms wailing in the air, you watched as he ran into the Turtle Tank; his body crushed against the large wheel. You pinched the bridge of your nose and sighed heavily muttering a quiet "How did we end up in this situation?"

"(Y/N), I've got something to tell you." Leo was facing you, his brows pulled together in concentration. You turned from the beanbag in the living room, your attention drifting away from the Lou Jitsu movie and onto Leo's face. You hummed in response slowly raising from the beanbag as he took a gentle grasp on your wrists, casually pulling you closer to him. The space between you both gradually became non-existent, his breath fanning across your face as you stared up into his eyes that shone in the dimly lit room.

"(Y/N)," he began, his thumb rubbing over the soft skin of your hand "I've been waiting for the perfect time to tell you this, but I just couldn't wait any longer." He glanced away from you his eyes blinking shut, a small tear slipping down his cheek. Your eyes traced over his face, the electric red of his markings, the sway of the mask tails fluttering in the gentle breeze of the home-made air conditioner. You sighed aloud "Yes Leo?" You breathlessly asked he turned back to you capturing your chin with his fingers angling your head closer to his lips "I love y-"

BEEP BEEP BEEP

You groaned as the alarm slowly disturbed you from your precious dream, you awoke to the normal world where school existed as well as the crippling reality that Leo only liked you as a friend. The beeping of your alarm silenced as your hand slapped the lock screen repeatedly, "Yes, yes I get it. Shut up already!" Noticing that your phone was littered with notifications from the guys you took your time going through each one while going about your daily morning routine.

You thumbed your way through texts, memes and videos from each of the boys; mainly Mikey. It was the same old stuff:

Cat video

Magic Mike: Hey, can you come over today?

Magic Mike: We're thinking of watching a movie, maybe we can play some games too?

Cat video

video of Leo messing with Donnie

Picture of Raph helping Leo hide from Sheldon

😊👍

Cat playing the piano with chopsticks

You giggled to yourself while flicking through the videos and pictures of the brothers, your mind chose to focus on Leo and the way he smiled as he took a black marker to Donnie's sleeping form. His muffled laughter and mischief in his eyes sent your heart aflutter. You texted Mikey telling him you'd be over in an hour, plenty of time to get ready and head to the sewers.

Adorning some comfy clothes and a backpack full of snacks you made your way to the nearest manhole cover. Puffing out your chest you stared at the solid piece of metal laying in front of you, clasping your hands together and cracking your knuckles and neck you bent down and heaved the solid mass over just enough to fit through. Jumping into the sewers you groaned as some 'water' splashed up your legs, pulling the manhole cover back over you wondered around the sewers, your legs taking you to your second home.

Walking into the lair you were greeted by Mikey zooming past on his skateboard quickly followed by Leo, your hair was splayed across your face as you tried to blow strands of it away. From what you could make out from under the (H/C) hair Mikey was stood facing you his board in his hands, "Hey (Y/N)" he waved, you laughed a little getting hair into your mouth "Hi Mikey." Leo rolled to a stop next to his younger brother, eyes wide at your appearance before suddenly laughing his ass off.

"(Y/N), can I just say I love the new hairdo." He cried, wiping a tear from his eye. You gave him a glare and again attempted to blow your hair away, Leo stepped forward and pulled the remaining piece behind your ear. He smiled softly at you "Now there they are" he joked, you reluctantly smiled back at him, noticing how close you both were Leo stepped back with a slight blush on his cheeks, rubbing his neck he turned to Mikey who was just watching the interaction with a gushy facial expression.

Leo punched his arm trying to get his attention "Miguel, didn't you want to show (Y/N) some video game?" As if by magic Mikey snapped back from his sappy state and grabbed your hand dragging you to their gaming room shouting excitedly, something about an old Lou Jitsu game he found online. Leo watched as your form vanished into the neon lights of the gaming room, he didn't register the longing sigh that left his lips; but Donnie did.

"Oh stop being so in love." He moped, Leo turned to him instantly his cheeks as red as the marks covering his eyes. "What? I'm not in love with (Y/N). Whoever said that? Cause that's a thing I am definitely not. In love, I mean. With (Y/N). No siree~" He babbled on, Donatello rolled his eyes and sipped his mug of coffee "I didn't even say (Y/N)'s name." Leo's eyes widened in embarrassment. He tried to think of something to defuse the situation "(Y/N)? I didn't say (Y/N), that's crazy. What are you on about bro?" Donnie gave Leo an unamused look, grumbling under his breath "You did say (Y/N)" and "I'm not crazy you're crazy."

As the day went on you and Mikey grew tired of the videos games and that's when Raph pulled out a movie and turned on the projector. Everyone sat around the small screen, just as you were about to take a seat next to Raph Donnie spoke up "Oh hey, er, (Y/N)?" You gave him a questioning glance "Yeah D?" He did a quick side glimpse to his older brother who simply nodded his head, Donatello took a quick breath before replying calmly "Can you just pop into the garage I think I left the- the, erm,"

He froze as he tried to come up with an excuse for their plan to work, Donnie began to sweat nervously as he rattled his brain for any decent thought. "D? You okay?" You asked giving a weird look to the others. "Looks like good old Bootyshaker9000 has broken down, should we like turn him on and off again or something?" Leo joked, Raph kept looking between you, Leo and Donnie "Just give him a minute Leo, I'm sure Donnie's fine."

"Donald?" Mikey asked timidly placing a hand on his shoulder.

"BLANKETS!"

"What?" Raph slapped his hand against his face in frustration. You looked at Donnie puzzled "Okay so let me get this straight, you want me to go into the garage to get you some blankets even though we're in the living room and you're currently sat in a blanket?" Donnie's face went blank "Yes?" he said unsure of his own answer, you groaned and began walking to the garage. Rummaging around through D's stuff you huffed placing your hands on your hips "There aren't even any blankets in here."

"Need any help?" A smooth voice came from the door, turning around you were met with the blue bandanaed turtle. You laughed to yourself "Is it that obvious?" The turtle smiled in amusement and joined you, he lifted some boxes his muscles flexing under the weight; you couldn't help but stare. "You know?" Leo's attention left the box he was carding through and turned to your dazzling (E/C) eyes, "I think Donnie lied to us." You continued. Leo gasped holding his hands up to his mouth "There were no blankets after all." You both stared at each other in silence before breaking out into laughter.

It went quiet again as the sound of your laughter grew softer, you both had become a lot more comfortable around each other as you sat on some of the stacked boxes swinging your legs back and forth. Leo was still chuckling going to lean against the wall, as his shell hit the wall a small click was heard so minute it fell upon deaf ears. Seconds later metal doors slammed shut while a bright red light strobed around the room, you swivelled your head to Leo's direction, he stood frozen against the wall his arms still crossed over his chest and one of his feet resting against the wall.

"What was that?" You asked nervously but Leo could sense the anger in your tone, he chuckled again this time more out of nerves. He looked away from you a hand going instinctively to the back of his neck "Would you believe me If I said Donnie had installed a stupid 24-hour lockdown thing and this isn't the first time it's happened." He tried to joke at the end. You glanced at the floor watching as your feet hung in the air "So I'm guessing we're stuck in here till tomorrow huh?"

"Yep," he replied popping the 'p'. "We can make that work." He smiled at your declaration.

~An hour later~

"And then I said, and get ready for this, I said 'Looks like these fish are all dried up'."

"That's amazing," you laughed, "I know right?" Leo smirked leaning back on his arms legs spread wide open on the concrete floor. You sat faced opposite him reflecting his position "And you came up with that on the spot?" You questioned, he feigned a hurt expression "Why I, of course I did!"

~2 hours later~

"So we ended up covered in cake frosting and it was all over the kitchen, yeaahh~ our boss was not happy about it, he made me and April spend the rest of the night cleaning it up." You smiled. "No way did that happen," Leo stated quite confidently, you gasped "Of course it happened, just because you didn't see it!"

"I don't buy it, no way did the cake explode." He shook his head, you growled under your breath "It wasn't the cake that exploded it was the icing bag, don't you pay attention?"

"HEY! I pay plenty of attention." You hummed and shrugged "Hmm maybe, besides I'd have to be as bad at cooking as you to make a cake explode."

"HEY!"

~4 hours later~

"Hey (Y/N)? I've got- I've got something I want to tell you." You stopped what you were doing and faced Leo, he awkwardly shuffled closer to your seated position on the floor sweat dripping down his face. "Are you okay?" You asked placing the back of your hand on his forehead feeling the heat radiating from it.

"Yes. No. Yes?" You looked puzzled, Leo grabbed your hands his thumb rubbing over the skin of your left hand. "Listen (Y/N), I know this seems kinda crazy and trust me this is not how I thought I'd do this, but-" He sucked in a deep breath and pleadingly looked into your eyes "I- I-" Your mind began racing from the close proximity to the feeling on his thumb rubbing your hand, the way his eyes sparkled in the light or the scent of vanilla with a hint of pizza.

"I-ah ha" he chuckled nervously, "I like you, like a lot." Your blush rivalled Raph's mask as you stared agape at Leo, his eyes flickered around your face taking in your reaction. He looked almost disappointed when you didn't reply, snapping out of your trance you lept into Leo's arm taking him off guard. He sat there with you pressed against his plastron, arm tightly wrapped around his shell, face snug perfectly in the crook of his neck. He sighed and wrapped his arms around you proceeding to hug you back, pulling away slightly to look at his face your dainty hand pulled his chin down his lips now level with your own.

A blush adorning both of your faces, leaning in closer your breath fanning across his face "I like you too". Leo wasted no time in pressing his lips against your own and unlike your dream from last night this was real, this was happening right now and it felt better than you could have ever imagined.

~5 hours later~

You released another yawn from your lips as you pried your eyes open, trying to resist the toxic hand of sleep. Leo wrapped an arm around you pulling you closer into his plastron "You can go to sleep, I won't do anything." He whispered gently. You looked up at him his caring eyes staring back at you "No it's okay, I can do it-" you yawned again "I can stay awake." Leo chuckled at your determination and kissed the top of your forehead "Go to sleep hermosa." Although it fell on deaf ears as you had already fallen asleep, Leo smiled and joined you in slumber.

~30 minutes later~

"Maybe we should leave we might wake them."

"Oh Miguel, don't be so naive. We can use this to our advantage." Donnie said smiling like a crazy man, he pulled out his phone and zoomed in on Leo's face, he made sure to zoom in on the drool dripping down his mouth.

Raph lightly slapped the back of Donnie's head as a warning "Stop that." He looked back to the sleeping pair on the floor "They're so cute together" Mikey whispered. "Oh, c'mon we're on about the same guy who drew fake glasses on me in sharpie!"

"You're the one that set this up-"

"Because they were both being dumb, besides it was more of a favour."

"Come on," Raph ushered the two out of the room "let's go." He turned back and smiled at his brother his eyes welling up a bit.

Lee Donghyuck/Haechan as your bff

Genre: crack fluff

Pairing: Haechan x reader

Prompt: Haechan being a brat but you love him that way

Word count: 1001 (currently the longest in the bff series omg)

a/n: what is proof reading? i dont know her

Jaemin / Jisung / Renjun / Haechan / Chenle / Jeno

no one asked but this is my fave fic I’ve written so far 🥺

there’s this cafe you always went to

and so did he

you always fought for the best seat

you don’t know when it happened

but both of you would race to get to the seat before the other

sometimes something would come up

and you’d curse at it

bc now you can’t beat him to the seat

but it’s okay

bc the next time, the same happens with him

first it was just about the seat

but then it was about being competitive

he’s a gemini sun and a leo moon what do u expect

so being able to see his pout when you beat him to it

was the small victory you craved for

and the smirk he had on his face when he beat you

was the most annoying thing you’ve ever seen

one day, you saw him come into the cafe

and you were ready to flash him your victory smile

until you saw that he wasn’t his usual bratty self

so you ended up calling him over

“this has gone on for way too long, don’t ya think? there’s no reason why we can’t just share this table.”

his face lights up

like a kid on Christmas

you end up working on your own things

while enjoying each others company

next time, you see him at the table

and you hesitated going to him,

but then he called you over

“i saved you a seat, thanks for last time.”

he said with a warm smile on his face

“I also got you your usual to repay you.”

“Aww, you do have a soft side.”

“Tell anyone and I will deny it.”

You end up talking about your little rivalry

“It was nice, seeing you angry about missing you buss and all.”

it turns out you learned each other’s schedules pretty well

when you usually get here on which day, which route you go on, when you leave

it was a bit creepy that you both knew those things about a complete stranger

but you weren’t strangers

not quite

“I’m Haechan, by the way.”

“y/n.”

he sometimes waits for you outside the cafe, knowing you’ll be arriving in exactly 2 minutes

“softy.”

“only for you.”

platonic flirting

you don’t necessarily mean it

ok maybe just a little

but it’s mainly just teasing

one time you end up getting to the cafe late

both of you

and the table is already taken

and you end up being so offended

“i can’t look at it, it’s making me sick.”

so you end up going to his dorms and playing overwatch

if you don’t know how to play, he will gladly teach you

but be prepared to get calls at 4am

bc he wants to play

“and Jeno is a bitch”

“wow, i love being your 2nd choice.”

you weren’t

he called you first

but was too proud to admit it

he doesn’t acknowledge your wins tho

“what game? we didn’t play a game last night, you were dreaming, I never lose”

you have to make it up to him

by pretending he beat up next time

not your best idea

his bratty ass ends up talking about it for a month

but then you beat him again

and he’s a pouty baby again

you end up being scolded by Johnny

lightly

for keeping him and his roommate up

he’s just joking tho

you end up meeting his hyungs

and you accidentally diss one of them

it just so happen to be doyoung

“of course, I expect nothing else from donghyuck’s friend.”

it’s all for jokes tho

and he knows it

but Johnny ends up stealing your diss

and clowning doyoung whenever he can

“Can i use that?” “Copyright.” “I’ll buy you coffee” “What copyright?”

Next thing you know, all of them are clowning dy

and you lowkey feel bad

but not really

we all know he needs his skinship

so if you’re not into that

rip bro

you are his teddy bear now

he cuddles you daily

and when he doesn’t get his cuddles

he turns into a pouty baby

“y/n, taeil doesn’t want to accept my cuddles.”

he fake cries

so you have to cuddle him now

not that u mind

yknow that video of hyuck cuddling taeil when they were in brooklyn?

that is you and hyuck 24/7

i mentioned platonic flirting

but did i mention platonic dissing

he is a little shit

of course you two are going to have dissing battles

“shut up, you annoying brat”

“At least I have something smart to say, unlike your dumb ass”

*his hyungs come to pick him up for his schedules*

“Love ya, call me when you get home!”

“Love ya too, see ya!”

*confusion noise from his hyungs*

they get use to it tho

Mark’s just happy he’s not hyuck’s target anymore

anyway,

you know that 24h relay cam they had?

and hyuck and johnny played games and then ordered food

that’s your sleepovers

you end up beating him when he goes to get the food

“oops”

“you’re lucky I love you”

“i know”

“you’re suppose to say it back, idiot.”

“it back, idiot”

rip man

have I mentioned he ends up taking you to the amusement park

and wins you a stuffed animal

to show off

and then he steals it

“you’re just gonna have to cuddle me then”

let’s say you can’t sleep

you call him up

and he ends up singing to you till you fall asleep

and then he takes screenshots of you sleeping

half bc he thinks it’s cute

half bc it’s blackmail

cute nicknames

you sometimes call him Duckie

bc D(onghy)uckie

sometimes you call him yuckie

depends on the mood

he either calls you something really annoying or something really sweet

nothing in between

and you love it that way

so does he

you wouldn’t have it any other way

Lee Donghyuck is basically just a bratty little shit, but you wouldn’t want anyone else to be your bratty little best friend.

hyuck would be such a good bff now i’m big sad

The Masque of the Red Death and Punch Brothers Punch (permalink)

My last podcast featured the Macmillan audiobook of my novella "The Masque of the Red Death."

https://craphound.com/podcast/2020/03/13/the-masque-of-the-red-death/

For this week's podcast, I decided to read Poe's original 1842 story, "The Masque of the Red Death. It's some next-level gothic stuff. Neil Gaiman is right: Poe must be read aloud!

https://www.poemuseum.org/the-masque-of-the-red-death

As a chaser, I close this week's podcast with a reading of Twain's classic, gothic, comedic "Literary Nightmare," better known as "Punch, Brothers, Punch," easily the best story ever written about an earworm.

Warning: earworms.

https://americanliterature.com/author/mark-twain/short-story/punch-brothers-punch

The two pieces work incredibly well together, making a bathetic cocktail!

Fill in your census online (permalink)

Guess what's happening on April 1, whether or not the nation is on virus lockdown? The 2020 edition of the decennial census, arguably the most consequential administrative task in the US government.

https://my2020census.gov/

You don't have to wait until April 1. Here's that URL again. Whether or not you've gotten a census card with a code, you can and should fill it in.

https://my2020census.gov/

From danah boyd: "Everyone who lives in the US (regardless of nationality or visa status) is required to fill this out. Children under 5 are often forgotten. Same with long-term house guests. Immigrants, black men, and indigenous communities are often undercounted too. If you want to make sure that your community gets its fair share of funding and political power, make sure to get everyone in your community to fill this out. The more people missing, the more you lose out."

If digital isn't your thing, call:

Naomi Klein: this disaster has no room for disaster capitalism (permalink)

In The Shock Doctrine, Naomi Klein coined "disaster capitalism" to describe how, during a crisis, "ideas lying around" about how to enrich the few and take away our rights come to the fore.

In this short doc, she applies the theory to coronavirus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niwNTI9Nqd8

The shock doctrine is well underway: privatizing social security, closing borders, maybe canceling elections.

But as Klein points out, disasters don't always precipitate oligarchy. The Great Depression catalyzed the New Deal and transformative change.

This is moment to seize. We have "ideas lying around" that are better than exploitation and oligarchy: ideas like a $15 minimum wage, an inclusive government, evidence-based policy free from corporate influence, Medicare for All, and, most of all, the Green New Deal.

Scalzi's canceled bookstore (permalink)

John Scalzi has had to cancel his tour for for The Last Emperox, a book in The Collapsing Empire series. It was the right call for him (and Tor Books to make).

https://whatever.scalzi.com/2020/03/16/important-news-about-the-last-emperox-tour/

Even though it was the right call, it comes at a cost – to John, to Tor, and, especially, to the indie bookstores that rely on author events to keep the lights on. That's why John has urged his readers to "Keep your pre-order at your local bookstore, or make that pre-order at your local bookstore. Your local bookstore needs you right now."

He also suggests that you consider ordering a signed limited edition hardcover from Subterranean:

https://subterraneanpress.com/last-emperox

And John will be going into his local indie to sign books for mail order for so long as it's permitted:

http://www.jayandmarysbooks.com/

Indie booksellers aren't the most endangered or hardest-hit among those who will be devastated by the virus, by official incompetence and indifference, and by monopolism and corruption, but they will still be VERY endangered and VERY hard-hit. They need your support.

My Twitter account was suspended (permalink)

My Twitter account is back!

Here's what happened:

I woke up yesterday morning and discovered that my account was locked. There was no explanation, either in the app, the site or my email for this. I contacted everyone I knew at Twitter, and everyone who knew anyone at Twitter. At 830AM Pacific – about 5h after the suspension – I got an email from support – saying I'd been suspended for having a list to which I add trolls called "colossal assholes."

I'm not sure that this qualifies as a ToS violation (I gave up reporting trolls who called me much worse, because Twitter inevitably replied that these epithets were not prohibited), but it's super-weird that they suspended me without warning or explanation. Also weird: I could not rename the list while suspended, only delete it (I tried to rename it "thoroughly unpleasant individuals").

Weirder: "Colossal assholes" got me suspended, but not its companion list, "Toe-faced shitweasels"

Thanks to everyone who contacted Twitter on my behalf, and for the Twitter folks who lit a fire to get that suspension explanation email sent my way.

All of my followers were deleted. Twitter tells me they'll reappear over 24h or so, but more than 100k are still missing. If you're interested in seeing my future tweets, please double-check that you're subscribed.

Also, in response to Twitter's sensitivity about "colossal assholes" as a listname, I've renamed and expanded my lists.

Potent emetics

Tissue-thin bad faith

Foolish timewasters

Beneath contempt

Odious nonsense-spewers

Confederate gravy-eaters

Toe-faced stenchweasels

Hilariously inept lackwits

Probably bots

Thick as two short planks

Raving conspiracists

Sociopath climate deniers

Dim bulb centrists

Inept MAGA trolls

Red scare bedwetters

Talking digital writing careers with the Writing Excuses podcast (permalink)

Back when cruise ships were a thing, I went out on the Writing Excuses Cruise as an instructor with Mary Robinette Kowal and friends. While there, we recorded an episode of the Writing Excuses podcast.

https://podplayer.net/?id=99014840

In a mere 25 minutes, we pack in a lot of material: how to break into the field, what a publisher's job is, how "digital is different," self-promotion, not being an unlikable weirdo when you're self-promoting, technology's role in shaping artistic success, and more.

Patent trolls try to shut down covid testing (permalink)

It's nearly impossible to sum up all the terrible in this story about a patent troll who is attacking America's ability to make and distribute coronovirus test-kits.

Labrador Diagnostics LLC is a patent troll (💩) that bought two of Theranos's patents (💩💩). They're a shell company spun up by Fortress Investment Group, Softbank's (💩💩💩) giant patent troll (💩💩💩💩). They're suing Biofire, a company that actually makes things (as opposed to Labrador, which only makes lawsuits). Which things are Biofire making? Covid-19 tests (💩💩💩💩💩).

They're represented by Irell & Manella, a lawfirm that previously claimed to represent a monkey. No, really. (💩💩💩💩💩💩)

It's inception-level terrible, a grifty shit burrito encased in a shit-flour tortilla, wrapped in a layer of shit-foil, and served in a go-bag of shitty, shitty, shit.

This is the kind of shit-matrioshke that could wipe out our species.

How to live with your kids (permalink)

I'm really impressed with Erin Kissane's "Working and Learning from Home with Young Children" – an important sanity check for anyone ramping up a new way of relating to our kids.

http://incisive.nu/2020/working-and-learning-from-home/

"Don't be Captain Homeschool on day one" is definitely a lesson we've already learned the hard way, and I'm excited to try out its antidote, "Rhythms > schedules":

"A simple rhythm is resilient, so when something goes sideways, recovery is much simpler."

Also impressed by the accompanying "rhythm chart" (something something "rhythm method" something something "parenting").

"Hold a morning household meeting" is something we're definitely doing, albeit awkwardly because we're taking advantage of the school break to let our kid do the sleeping in she never gets to do otherwise, so we're already up and about by the time she's ready for this.

Also impressed by the recco for the Raising Free People podcast, for unschoolers, free schoolers, Adlerians and democratic parents.

Brave files GDPR complaint against Google (permalink)

It's long been obvious that US Big Tech companies are unserious about their GDPR compliance, taking cosmetic, pro-forma measures that don't really engage with the substance of the rules (those rules demand nothing less than a top-to-bottom industry restructure).

EU regulators have been slow to punish them for this, but the GDRP affords standing to many private actors to demand action for noncompliance, which is how it is that Brave has filed GDPR action against Google.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/brave-browser-delivers-on-promise-files-gdpr-complaint-against-google

The complaint's substance is that Google is collecting data through its many products, divisions and services and merging that data on the back-end, which the GDPR expressly prohibits without meaningful, opt-in consent (and you can't deny service those who don't consent).

Brave published a study that analyzed Google's communications with users, partners, regulators and customers and showed that these are effectively an admission of the kind of "data-tying" that the GDPR bans.

https://brave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Inside-the-Black-Box.pdf

I continue to use Brave and Firefox as my daily-driver browsers; I'm impressed with the quality of both, and how much better they make the web.

This action by Brave might trigger the kind of reckoning that the GDPR was meant to provoke — at long last.

FINALLY. SOME FUCKING VALIDATION.

TL;DR -- There’s definitely Something on my ECG, even when my symptoms are relatively mild. Tomorrow I’m getting set up with a holter monitor for 24H and I’ll likely be seeing a cardiac specialist at some point.

Long version under the cut.

Doc called for our appointment. When she heard my symptoms she was like “OMG WHY DIDN’T YOU COME IN EARLIER”

“because the plague”

“oh right”

Anyway we had a talk, and she basically told me if I get another turn like I did this morning I need to go to the hospital. She then said that if I get palpitations again I should go in on the spot to get an ECG, but when I mentioned I was still dizzy she said to come up anyway because it was worth a try, but to have someone drive me.

I called Mum. Mum had known I might need an ECG, and had said so herself. She went out anyway. She was Not Amused when I phoned her and said “hey the doc said you should drive me up now because she doesn’t want me driving.”

“What, later this afternoon?”

“No, now.”

I could hear her rolling her eyes over the phone but they turned around and came back. I dunno if she started to get worried or anything because she was telling me each time they passed a landmark, which she usually never does unless she and Dad are coming back from a long trip.

She did end up asking me if I wanted her to come in, and I said yes because if it turns out something IS up she might bloody listen to the doc, if not to me.

They got home, we got our masks (most Aussies not wearing masks except at medical appointments but I won’t go into that right now), went in. Whisked me off to get the ECG while Mum waited in the waiting room. Huge dizzy spell when I lay down. Got the electrodes on me, chilled out for a while, specialist printed out first results. Mentioned to specialist at the beginning that I mostly get issues when changing positions, so she had me stand up and lie back down for the second test. I did not get any heart palpitations until the second test when I felt something after lying back down, but it was very mild compared to what I’m used to when the palpitations start up. I’ve had the palpitations exclusively for months, but this is the first time I’ve had other symptoms (that I’m currently aware of, altho I’m getting suspicious about something else that this may coincide with, more on that later).

Test finished after about ten minutes, went to the waiting room for another fifteen or so. Never seen it so quiet at that time of day, ‘least until the school kids went in and ofc nobody else was wearing masks.

Doc summoned us, so in we went.

GLORIOUS. FUCKING. VINDICATION.

Mum: I mean, it’s probably just stress --

Doc, looking over the ECG and making marks with a pen: Oh, this is definitely not stress.

Then came the questions. Am I drinking water? Yes. Am I drinking tea or coffee? No. Smoking? No. Chocolate? Every now and then. Drinking? A couple drinks for a few nights but then I’ll go weeks without. Blood pressure? We measured it, slightly low but normal.

Doc said, “... let me ask one of my colleagues for his input.”

(I mentioned earlier that I was suspicious of something else -- for the last year or so, when I drink, I feel really crook. Used to be I’d get buzzed and cheerful but in the last 12 months I just tend to feel sick. (Do I drink anyway? Yup.) I also get hungover much more easily. TBH it did feel like a dramatic change, it wasn’t a gradual thing, but I thought maybe it’s because I’m getting closer to 30 and sooner or later my body’s reaction to alcohol’s going to get less tolerant. Thought it was weird that my 60YO parents can drink more than me each night and they’re totally fine, but I didn’t think anything of it. Now I’m wondering if maybe I was aggravating something that wasn’t obvious at the time...)

But yeah, there is “something” there. What palpitations I did feel were pretty mild, when I get them at night I feel like my heart’s really being squeezed, so tbh I’m amazed. Like, how many times have I gone to the doc for my chronic illness, nothing showed on the test, but there I am getting an ECG and having relatively mild symptoms and not only does it fucking show up on the test, but enough for the doc to be like “yeah this isn’t stress”???? FUCK YEAH VALIDATION

Doc wrote me a referral to Douglass Hanly Moir, and tomorrow morning first thing I’m getting fitted for a holter monitor for 24hrs. It’s a bunch of electrodes stuck to my chest and something else that attaches to the waist with a button, and every time I feel symptoms I press the button. The button can also detect “how and where” I press it. Once that’s done I’ll likely be arranging to see a specialist.

If I don’t get any symptoms in the 24hrs with it on, I’m to call the doc and we’ll talk about other options.

Mum is slightly convinced there’s something there, but she’s still quite convinced it’s stress. Doesn’t seem to matter how many times I tell her exactly how my body reacts to stress, this isn’t it, but I know she’s taking it more seriously now because she’s mother henning now and she wasn’t earlier. That is a relief.

Doc told her if I get palpitations and dizziness at the same time she needs to take me to the ER.

The dizziness was mostly gone by the time we left the doc. I don’t feel short of breath but every now and then I just take a big gulp of air -- I’m not sure if it’s the air I need, or if I’m “stretching” my chest, but I’ve been doing it all day. Less now, but still there. And I’ve been foggy all day, even now.

Anyway, we’ll see what happens over the next few days. Hopefully due to COVID I won’t have to wait too long to see a specialist, and hopefully my exams won’t get fucked with.

Alright, since people are into the idea: My top two horror stories as a labtech (mind you I’ve been a labtech here for just over 3 years so more will mount, no doubt)

Warning for Death, limited gore and well, medicine. I’ll try to keep the jargon light but please bear with me.

Case 1: 60 year old female, arrived via ambulance, admitted with transvaginal bleeding.

Patient arrived at approx. 2pm. Full clinical chemistry panel + blood grouping was drawn immediately and sent to the lab as emergency. Now, no matter how emergency you make it, we cannot do a clinical chem faster than 20 to 30 minutes because we gotta spin everything down in the centrifuge first. A full blood group takes ~45 minute because we cannot speed the reactions up. We can give out un-crossed blood (O- in that case) but the doctors are weary of doing that because it’s a risky move anyways.

I start the blood grouping, prepping as much as I can to cut down on time were possible. We also pop in the clinical chem already to try and get that as speedy as possible to either. Results are bad. Hb (hemoglobin, which is what lets your blood carry oxygen) is 6.something (should be >10), platelets are in the low double digits (should be >100), coagulation is ~30 (should be >80 if not on medication), CRP (inflammation marker) is >200 (should be <10). Liver parameters aren’t looking hot either, electrolytes completely out of whack.

The amount of ordered units of blood gets upped from 2 to 4, doc also orders two units of plasma. Those we can give out immediately with VERY low risk, since they’re AB (universally accepted plasma) and don’t need crossing. So you can use them to put coagulation factors and volume into your patient while you wait for the blood to be ready. So we put the two units of plasma on. I manage to get two units of blood out. Doc sends down another CBC (cellular blood count) and coagulation.

Hb even lower now, platelets down in single digit range, coagulation now below detection level of the machine. It’s shortly before 3pm. PANIC sets in. Doctor has me order units of platelets from the Red Cross. We don’t have those on hand because they can only be used for 2 days after being drawn, and we don’t need them. It takes about an 60 to 90 minutes for the units to get here from the Red Cross.

So I call them immediately and get things started while the additional two units are crossing. Doc ups the order again. We’re now at 6 units ordered. I start on those two, hand out the next two (units 3 and 4 of blood to the patient) and another unit of plasma (number 3).

Another set of clinical chem comes in to monitor progression. It’s cherry red when it comes out the centrifuge, meaning the blood cells aren’t intact anymore and instead have exploded and are now tinging the plasma red.

Ten minutes later the doc calls, tells me that the patient has passed. We didn’t get the final clinical chem in before she died. We didn’t get those last two units of blood or plasma into her. Call to the Red Cross to cancel the platelets fruitless as they’re already on the road.

Final time from admission to passing of patient: 2h and change. Final diagnosis: septic hemorrhage. The immune system literally had the blood fall apart inside the patient, with most bleeding internal. We literally couldn’t funnel in blood fast enough to compensate.

Case 2:

Male, in his fifties, walks into ER under own power, admitted with slight fever and feelings of malaise. It’s friday evening.

initial lab results are mostly nonsuspicious. Slightly elevated leukocyte (white blood cells), slightly elevated CRP (to be expected with a fever), elevated LDH. This one can be a marker that something serious is afoot, but without any of the other parameters falling out of the ordinary, it’s also very vague. But patient is admitted, just in case, because higher LDH can also be a marker for a cardiac event so better safe than sorry

Saturday morning, new blood draw: patient blood looks normal still, values slightly worsened than the day before, but not out of the ordinary for a progressing infection yet.

Saturday noon: patient DRAMATICALLY worsens in condition, moved to ICU. New blood draw. Blood now visibly ikteric after centrifugation. ‘Ikteric’ means that the plasma is having an orange or brownish tint. This comes from elevated bilirubin levels. That means that something’s up in the liver. Liver parameters have indeed significantly worsened. Bilirubin has gone from the normal <1 to ‘approaching 10′. Special lab parameters are drawn and send out, but on the weekend, they take a long time to get done (and indeed as a direct consequence, we’ll likely now get an in-house version of at least one of them).

Oncall MTA gets blood units ready to transfer in case the patients starts on hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) as well.

Saturday afternoon: patient continues to worsen despite speedy application of antibiotics and monitoring. New blood draw. Blood looks... bad when it comes out the centrifuge. Plasma VERY ikteric. Like, the stuff should be light yellow. It is burnt umbra. Small globules of fat as collecting on the top. Even in very fatty blood, having distinct globules is BAD. There’s literally fat droplets of considerable size floating around in the patient. Both are strong indicators that patient is entering liver failure and doing so fast. Closer inspection reveals that inside the plasma we got fibrin-threads. Fibrin is one of the things your body uses to clot wounds, and it shouldn’t trigger inside the body. It certainly shouldn’t inside a vial filled with an anticoagulant (Li-Heparin. We’re using this because in emergency situations it means you can cut down the spin time from 10 minutes to 5-7 and sometimes that’s vital). Something’s setting off the coagulation cascade inside the patient. This is also very bad.

Clinical parameters have worsened yet. Bilirubin values are approaching the 30 mark.

Coworker gives out two units of blood as Hb is dropping also. Kidney parameters now also worsening, likely a knock-on effect from the liver damage. Multi-organ failure is starting to look very very possible.

Saturday evening: Patient declared dead at 10pm. Final time from admission to passing: ~36h. Patient degraded from ‘basically fine, lil feverish, potential cardiac event’ to ‘fulminant liver failure’ within 24h.

Final diagnosis: systemic infection with antibiotic resistant bacteria, likely picked up from his father, who is diabetic and has open sores on his feet. No distinct ‘nest’ of infection found upon autopsy. No entry wound found either.

As mentioned, this case will in the near future lead to us doing the procalcitonin (another, more detailed infection marker than CRP) test in house to cut down on diagnosis time especially on the weekend. Might not have helped in this specific case, as the bacteria in question were resistant to many antibiotics, and we cannot make cultures grow any quicker to run resistance tests on, but we’ll never know for sure.

And both those cases are septic ones. This is what infection can and will do to your body if your immune system cannot get a grip on it by itself, or overshoots. Injection yourself with things that you cooked up in your kitchen can, worst case, end like that. Not with gangrene slowly eating your limbs, though that’s also a possibility. But it can just as much end with you bleeding out of your orifices as your blood self-destructs. It can end with your organs shutting down on you within a ridiculous short time.

So when I tell people to let a doctor look at the suspicious looking thing, I really, SERIOUSLY mean it. Sure most of the time it’ll be nothing, but you don’t wanna be Case 3.

If you take care of family members with known resistant germs on them, take the necessary hygenic precautions. Don’t randomly stab things into yourself. GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR IF YOU FEEL ILL. Don’t be another one for the statistic.

Marked By Love - Looking good

sorry for the wait but I hope you’ll enjoy!

PART 1 PART 2 PART 3 MASTERLIST

Plop.

That was the only sound that echoed through the small bathroom as he dropped his phone in the toilet. Shawn had gotten over thousands of dm’s from his picture, but only one of them stood out. And a quick look at her account had confirmed his suspicions, it was her.

The moment of shock had caused him to loosen his grip on his phone, only to see it slide out of his large hand and into the water.

“Oh fuck” he mumbled as he rolled up his sleeves and bent down. His face twisted in disgust as he finally got a hold of it, and quickly fished it up. He held it with his pointer finger and his thumb as he walked out from the bathroom, placing the soaked phone on the counter as he grabbed the rice.

“Man, what happened?” A fairly drunk Brian giggled.

Shawn shot him a death stare and mumbled a short answer.

“I dropped it into the toilet”

“You did what?”

Now it was Andrew’s time to comment on the situation and Shawn rolled his eyes.

“She sent me a message and I dropped my fucking phone into the toilet! And I really need to answer her but I can’t!”

Geoff tried to suffocate a laughter that was bubbling up inside of him at the sight of the anxious twenty-year old.

Andrew sent him a look before turning back to Shawn, who was now almost laying, spread out over the kitchen counter. It was a sight to be seen. His tall legs standing steadily on the floor while his upper body rested on the table.

“Why don’t you just use mine?”

Shawn’s head shot up and he looked at Andrew with a hopeful look in his eyes.

“Really?”

Andrew gave him a smile and handed over his phone and Shawn could almost kiss the man for saving him.

“Thank you!”

Shawn sat down on the side of the couch and quickly logged himself into Instagram, sending a few angry looks to the bowl with rice that contained his phone.

His account was blowing up from fans who wondered who the mystery woman was, to people claiming it was them. He couldn’t do anything but roll his eyes at the fame desperate girls.

As he found her message, he doubted for a second. He stared at the screen for a minute, seeing his own reflection stare back at him. This was crazy, he had wanted her for so long and now that he finally found her he didn’t even have the guts to text her back. Taking a deep breath, he accepted the message and began typing something. As he pressed send a smile made its way onto his lips.

He felt his friends buring stare on him and he gave them a confused look.

“What?”

Geoff let out a small laugh before taking another sip of his beer.

“You’re so fucked”

A relieved sigh escaped your lips as you put your bags down on the floor. They were filled to the rim with books and papers from school and were a lot to carry on one’s shoulders. Three weeks. Then you would be free.

You had big plans for your summer, including many different festivals, a vacation ,and staying up until sunrise. All were things you could not wait to be able to do again.

“Hello?” You yelled into the seemingly empty apartment and as expected the only thing that you heard back was the echo of your own voice.

With a happy whimper you melted down in the comfortable couch. Your eyelids were heavy and you fought the desire to let the sleep consume you. With a yawn you grabbed your phone and scrolled through tumblr. Reading some feedback on your latest writing and answering some asks you soon found yourself scrolling down the new posts. It was filled with pictures of Shawn, the picture. You couldn’t help but feel a little proud as you read the hundreds of comments of confused people trying to figure out what was going on.

Going into instagram, you saw the little blue arrow having a small ‘1’ over itself, and your heart skipped a beat. By the time you had gone into your dm’s, it was about to beat out of your chest. Your fingers were shaky as you pressed on the chat, reading the message a certain Shawn Mendes had sent you. You. Of all the millions and millions of girls that worshipped him on the daily it was your mark that was placed on his godlike body.

You read the message over and over again as a blush creeped its way onto your cheeks and you felt like you were walking on clouds.

“Not as good as it looks on you”

It was as the tiredness had washed away and you were now wide awake. A small green dot on his profile picture showed that he was online right now and you thought about what to write back. You weren’t the best when it came to flirting with normal guys, and what the hell do you write to your idol of years back? The tip of your tongue rested in the corner of your mouth as you concentrated on writing. You wrote a message, and erased it, wrote another one, and erased that too. A frustrated sigh left your lips after the fifth erasing.

Then something popped into your head, and you quickly pressed send. No going back now.

“I didn’t know you were so observant”

A smile came over his face as he read your message and he was quick to reply. But not too quick. He was sure to wait a few minutes before writing back to avoid sounding, you know, like you were the only thing running through that pretty mind of his.

“I guess there’s a lot you don’t know about me then”

Your stomach did a flip as you read the little grey bubble. He was certainly flirting with you, at least that’s what you hoped. So you decided to be bold

“Oh, I think I know most of it”

Shawn nearly choked on his drink, getting the attention of the rest of the boys who looked at him with confusion written in their eyes.

“You okay there Mendes?”

Shawn nodded as he was coughing, holding his thumb up to show that he was okay.

The conversation continued through the night, and even if you were running on last night’s five hours of sleep, you had never felt more awake.

Shawn’s friends had left hours ago, not seeing the point in hanging around when he was clearly busy with other things. But they were happy for him, knew how much he craved someone. Or something.

It was 3am when Shawn asked if you could share numbers instead and you had gladly accepted his offer. The conversation had picked up on text message from there and you texted back and forth for another hours, too caught up in the moment, the feeling, to even think about sleep.

Shawn walked around his apartment, now with his functioning phone, in his hands and a toothy smile on his face. That smile had been there for so long that his cheeks hurt, but still he never wanted it to go away. She was just as he had imagined her to be, maybe almost better. And even though he had only talked to her for a couple hours, it felt like they where old friends. His phone vibrated and he was quick to unlock it.

“Can I show you something?”

He replied with a short “of course”, growing curious over whatever she wanted to show him. A minute later he got a pictures sent to him. It was a photo of her arm, more exactly her wrist, and on it there was a small rose. The same rose he had on his ankle. The same rose he had seen on so many of his fans before, but this was different. This was a girl he had fallen so headlessly in love with, and the confirmation that she felt the same, was enough to make him let out a scream of happiness and run around his apartment like a little kid on christmas morning.

“Wow, that does look a lot better on you than on me”

You let out an excited giggle at his response and you realized really how screwed you were for him.

“Oh stop it, it looks better on you. Everything looks good on you”

He was grateful that she couldn’t see him where he was sitting with his cheeks as red as her nail polish.

“LOL thank you ;)?”

“You’re welcome, you know i’m right”

“Haha, we’ll see about that!! Now I want to know something about you, since you apparently already know everything about me”

“Alright, what do you want to know?”

You woke up by the sun shining through your blinds, the broken one that you had told yourself you were going to fix for the last three months. You stretched out on your king sized bed and let out a yawn, thinking back to the night before. A smile was growing on your face at only the thought of him, the guy you had fantasized about for three years, was actually talking to you, and not just in a fanfiction. The two of you had talked until you saw the sun rise and he was like no guy you had ever met before. So sweet and so caring, funny but also sarcastic at times, he had it all. For some reason you felt so comfortable talking to him, like you could tell him everything that was going through your mind or just about why pasta is the greatest thing ever invented. It just felt right.

A quick look on your phone showed that it was already 11am and you got out of your bed with a sigh. Holding your phone in a firm grip as you reached the bathroom, thinking about Shawn’s story about how he dropped his into the toilet, you made sure that the lid was down. Brushing your teeth and hair, and applying a little mascara to your tired eyes, you decided to go out for lunch. There was no point in eating breakfast at this time, and you felt like treating yourself.

As you locked the door to your apartment, your phone lit up. Putting the keys into your purse, you read the text. The text from him.

“Goodmorning!! I’m tired”

The three words was enough to lighten up your entire mood and you walked on clouds to the elevator, where you sent him a text back, that was going to make him feel just the same.

You had three things you needed to do. Eat lunch, return two books to the library and go look for a new dress. The library thing was the first thing to get crossed over considering that it was located only down the street from your apartment. Your plan was to go get a dress right after, but the aggressive sounds your stomach ḿade left you changing the order.

Arriving at your favorite sushi place, you let out a happy sigh as you saw the bright colored signs in front of it. It was located next to a 24h- gym and that had made their opening hours pretty generous and as a college student, you appreciated that. The familiar bell made a soft sound as you entered the small restaurant and the workers welcomed you happily. You ordered the same thing as you always did and you gave them a smile as they handed you the plate.

You turned around to go find a place to sit but accidentally bumped into a tall guy behind you. The soya sauce spilled all over his grey shirt and wanted to sink under the ground and disappear.

“Oh, I’m so sorry! I-I’m so clumsy I-” You started and looked up to face him for the first time when a familiar pair of brown eyes met yours.

Shawn. He was dressed in a a pair of black gym shorts and a tight shirt, like he was just coming from the gym. His curls were pulled back with a headband, a heaband you had made at least five appreciation posts for. He towered over you, and you realized that you never actually understood how tall he really was.

He looked just as surprised as you did, and you stood there as two fools just staring at each other. He shot you a sly grin that made your cheeks hot as he looked down on his shirt.

“So, do you really think I look good in this?”

Day four

It’s been four days since I have eaten any solid food.

Each day a new sensation, each day a new number on the scale, each day the same voice in my head telling me to continue because on the fifth day I can have a few gummy bears. When I get cravings I chew and spit food that cost me 20$. Each day I am surprised at how little hunger I actually feel. Each day I get scared when my heart rate reaches 120 while sitting but still I tell myself I can wait until day 5. I am shocked at how far I have gotten in the past I always stopped at the 24h mark but when that point hit I promised myself that I would be skinny for my Halloween costume. 4 days 4 lbs I’ve been weighing myself 5 times a day desperate to see a lower number and when I don’t, I blame the 170 cal soda I drank when I felt like I was going to pass out at work. On day 3 my mind had effie’s quote from skins on repeat. I reassure myself each day that on day 5 I can eat while the voice in the back of my head whispers tricks on how to avoid food and what to do on day 5 when I go to dinner with my boyfriend. How each work week I can avoid eating for days so I can reach an impossible goal by the 31st. I feel sore, when I kneel my legs tremble and I am slow to stand. I keep telling myself each day that I won’t pass out at work. When I get home I barely leave my bed. I am tired. But on day 5 I might eat.

mcnd - top gang, ice age

both these are amazing and like i listen to both when i'm hella happy and they're just

wow iconic. kinda sad spring and nanana aren't as wow but i hope their next cb is amazing

ateez - answer, inception

answer deserves soty like seriously it really set the tone for the year and was the start to a line of amazing releases. and i didn't like inception at first but it really grew on me and i'll argue that hongjoong's rap in the beginning is one of the best in kpop this year

loona - so what

this lowkey sounds like a war anthem and i love how hype and energetic it is like i just wanna run a marathon while listening to this. it's the main reason i wanna stan loona

the boyz - reveal, stealer

so i admittedly stopped liking reveal for awhile and i didn't like the stealer at first but

reveal is already a classic and i will: jam. and the stealer is such a unique concept i feel like and it's just amazing and we need more like it

pentagon - dr. bebe, daisy

okay both of these are slept on and they fucking deserve better. pentagon is one of those groups that doesn't seem to care so much about trends and what's popular and they're just doing their own thing and actually caring about the music and we love to see it bc both of these are art and some of the best releases of 2020

dreamcatcher - scream, boca

dreamcatcher really is doing their own thing and it's just unique and works so well and both these songs hype the fuck out of me like yes lemme go to hell real quick and punch satan

nct

i'm not even gonna list songs for them like there's so many. 2020 was nct's year, tell me otherwise. everything they released was quality and amazing and just,,, s o much like wow. ig that's the perks of having so many members and multiple units. but fr mark needs a break next year. poor guy has been promoting like almost all year

itzy - wannabe

this is the first itzy era that really felt like an era to me like

i see so many people talk about how taylor swift was everywhere and inescapable during 1989 era and that's what wannabe felt like for the kpop world like,,, the song was everywhere, ryujin's shoulder dance was everywhere. it's still everywhere. this is probably one of the most (if not the most) iconic releases of 2020

(g)i-dle - oh my god, dumdi dumdi

okay i feel like oh my god blew up for a second and then just,,, was forgotten. and dumdi dumdi lowkey felt like the only people who acknowledged it were the fans and the general kpop community ignored it. at least from what i've observed. but both deserve so much more like idle really didnt come to play this year and the q u a l i t y of the music was just wow. stan gidle for clear skin

solar - spit it out

sigh, another amazing release that was slept on. i have so many good memories with this song already and i think it's gonna be a super nostalgic song for me

chungha - stay tonight, play, dream of you

this year really feels like one big nct and chungha era and i love it. chungha snapped with each release and they're all so fucking good like

can this woman do any wrong

txt

just like nct and chungha, everything they released this year was on another level. q u a l i t y

txt never fails to amaze me with the way they offer so much quality and they're only a year old like

music industry take notes

twice - more & more, i can't stop me

i'm getting lazy now so im probs not gonna make as many paragraphs but twice just being iconic queens this year as usual. we stan

n.flying - oh really.

this is like,,, my mega emotional support song of the year

like oh yay will to live gone crying on the bedroom floor, oh really is there to give me a big hug and just help me cry it out and help me feel better. the emotional attachment i've got for this song is probs far from healthy

nature - girls

OKAY BUT WHY IS THIS SO SLEPT ON. THEY PERFECTED A HORROR CONCEPT WHERE'S THE ROUND OF APPLAUSE AND AWARDS. THIS IS 2020 LIKE LETS GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE

stray kids - easy, back door

easy deserves better js. but anyway back door is about gay sex, i will not be convinced otherwise

seventeen - right & left, 24h

seventeen is one of the groups that really just made my summer amazing and helped me to have hope despite all the crazy shit going on

blackpink

too lazy to type out their releases. but blackpink was just i c o n i c this year. i dont own multiple copies of the album for nothing

sunmi - pporappippam

this song is like

such a mood setter for me. no matter what mood i'm in it can improve it. if i used spotify this would probs be my most streamed song of the year

what you waiting for - somi

yeah we're lazy now. this song is like a cavity of happiness and i will ward off anybody that tries to fix the cavity

treasure - boy, i love you, mmm

i havent kept up with award shows this year but if they didnt win roty then i'm rioting

Maker VeChain Binance Coin Price Analysis: 17 August

Maker, VeChain, Binance Coin Price Analysis: 17 August

The crypto-market remains largely bullish, especially since yield farming and the success of DeFi tokens have been appealing to many investors.

With Ethereum priced at above $400, at the time of writing, the world’s largest altcoin can, in the medium term, signal more bullish sentiment for itself and the rest of the altcoin market. At the same time, Binance Coin and VeChain were trading near important levels on both the short and long-term charts. Maker, however, had retraced after surging by nearly 25%, despite the fact that it could now be readying itself for another potential rise. Maker [MKR], ranked 28th on the charts, had a 24-hour trading volume of $46.3 million while having a market cap of $721.5 million.

MKR found its support levels around the $684 region. The Parabolic SAR’s dotted markers were forming under the price with the 20 SMA (white) above the slower 50 SMA (yellow), a sign suggesting that the price would rise. The crypto-asset might be able to reach new highs near the $800-mark if the interest in DeFi continues to soar. For VeChain, the month of August hasn’t seen it continue on its incredible uptrend from the month of July. The presence of a strong resistance level at $0.0208 halted some of the progress made. Ranked 21st with a market capitalization of $1.15 billion, this level could change if the resistance is breached by VET with momentum.

The RSI had stepped out of the bearish side and was noting a value of 59, at press time. If VET’s RSI reading can remain above 50, after the breach of the neutral line, it might mean that VET will go on another uptrend. The Bollinger bands were relatively tight on the charts, with VET’s price above the 20-period moving average. Further, VET was trading just below its resistance at $0.0208. Failure to rise beyond that level can see VET revisit the $0.0193 zone.

Binance Coin [BNB]

Binance Coin had a 24h trading volume of $251.3 million, a figure that was a bit lower than the volume that saw it touch $23. This may be a sign that BNB traders and investors are waiting to see if the support will hold. BNB has been on an uptrend since July first week. It was faced by a resistance level at $23. The Chaikin Money Flow showed money was flowing into the market. As long as this doesn’t change, BNB has a good chance of brushing past its resistance at $23. If BNB breaches $23, it will be faced with another resistance near the $24.2 region, which is a level that has been important on the longer time-frame as well. Failure to break the resistance can lead to a drop to its $21.75 support. At press time, BNB held the 11th rank on the charts with a market capitalization of $3.35 billion.
