*Alright he's just- he's just going to go. With the plane landed and a hotel room sorted, the Newscaster sends a text. It's worded a little stiffly, but the reply of just °K° was maybe not the friendliest either.*
*NJ's foot maybe bounces in the car ride over, just a bit.*
*He's knocking, and CJ opens the door. The Cameraman's expression isn't the easiest to read, but after a moment, he seems to come to a conclusion. A small sigh, and CJ offers a small smile. NJ manages one back. The Newscaster enters, and it's not the most calm situation, but he's here, and a bit of back and forth between the twins in sign he can't follow has RJ offering him a similar small smile.*
*Maybe this wouldn't be so terrible after all.*
I don’t think people realise how easy it is to feel ugly when you’re South East Asian.
I know so many popular East Asian bloggers, who always get so many notes because of how elegant and refined and. Pale. They are. Those are standards most of us can never achieve. I’ve never seen a selfie set of a southeast Asian girl break 1k: but I’ve seen plenty, and I mean plenty of pale East Asians break 3k easy.
I know East Asian bloggers who go on about racism against East Asians and act like it’s universal. I know some who will talk about East Asian racism but never breathe a word about racism against southeast Asians.
I know East Asian bloggers who literally don’t follow any South East Asians. The ones who say that it doesn’t matter because “we’re all East Asian!” Technically. Or those who act like we’re a different breed and a different species.
I wonder if most East Asians know that their beauty standards get passed down to our countries. I wonder if they know how it hurts a lot of us.
So I’m giving a shoutout to every southeast Asian girl. Every one of you,if us, deserves to feel pretty.
I’m talking about the Indonesian gals with broad noses. The Malay girls who wear Tudung and are mocked. Chinese Singaporeans who are still not “Chinese enough” for mainlanders. Filipino girls who feel guilty about their curly or frizzy hair. Indian Singaporeans who are feel like they need to be pale to be worth something ( you don’t). Thai girls who are told their country is only good for farming rice. Myanmar girls who get asked mockingly if they’re domestic workers. Even if you are, there is no shame in that. Every Cambodian girl who felt bad about having thick lips. I know I left a lot of people out, and I’m sorry. But if you’re reading this and haven’t seen yourself here - you are just as worthy and my spirit and strength and good wishes are with you
You are all beautiful. Every single one of you. We are all beautiful. It’s hard to see it and it’s hard to feel it sometimes but we are. You are. Every one of you. Pride to our people!

hey followers. have you ever wanted to know how it feels to be inside a bag of cornflakes
Nσ, I'ɱ ɳσƚ ɠσιɳɠ ƚσ ҽαƚ ყσυ. I ρɾҽϝҽɾ ɾσԃҽɳƚʂ. *They look at the camera.* Aɾҽ ყσυ ϝιʅɱιɳɠ ƚԋιʂ? -⏳
*they both looked relieved to a degree*
"Ok, that's good to hear at least."
°a nod in agreement. Yes, he tells you, it's kind of his thing.°
*at the mention of food, the kitten wiggled into the room* meow meow meow meow! meow meow meow meow! *he seems happy about food... and how did the cat get in?* meow! :3
"Oh no you're baby- don't worry yeah we got lots! I'm gonna go into the kitchen, Jim could you get the door real quick?"
*he makes a friendly "c'mon" gesture and starts slowly walking diagonally to the kitchen. Still moving but able to see both his brother and the kitten*
°...They've figured out doornobs, Jim. It's too late, the feline uprising is upon us. He goes to close the door anyway, smiling a little when he hears RJ snort behind him. He locks it, all the way. He could have sworn RJ had done the same- but maybe the night was getting to them both.°
"Ok, we're in a light patch too but no papers. And yeah, CJ is here too- where are you Google? Have either of you guys heard anyone else?"
Tԋҽ ʋσιԃ ɾҽʂιԃҽɳƚʂ. *They drop the Jims in a light patch.* Tɾყ ƚσ ʅҽαʋҽ, αɳԃ ყσυ'ʅʅ ϝαʅʅ υɳƈσυɳƈισυʂ.
"Void Residents? Who are-"
*CJ manages to land on their back, still curled protectively around his camera, RJ lands on his end*
"Ow-! Wait, unconcious? Why would we be-..Jim?"
*CJ hands over his camera to RJ, who's more than a little shocked to be actually holding it. CJ looks directly at the snake and begins to sign.*
°Ok you look here you vantablack worm, you aren't getting away clean with this. I don't care who you work for, especially if you're so wrapped around their fingers that they've got you doing their dirty work, all I care about is that you're out here, stealing people and bringing them to lose who they are. My name is Jim, my brother is Jim, and we'll get out of here one way or another.°
Hey, that’s good! Coffee in cereal doesn’t sound half bad actually, maybe it would go well with a cinnamon cereal.. Also, Saturn was visible last night? That’s amazing! I wish I could have seen it- Neb
"Yeah it's pretty good-"
°its awful°
"-Im eating it with Lucky Charms today though."
°like a heathen°
"Jim, that burger that one time very clearly had cotton candy on it."
°Still not as bad Jim. And yes, technically July is the best time to view it, but it's still visible and there's supposed to be a conjunction on the 10th°
This kid is awesome
*the kitten floats down and lands on CJ's head* meow
*They are trying very hard not to freak out, how does someone even act around a flying kitten? The tiny bean landing on CJ's head put him out of commission. He's completely frozen in place. RJ is taking very measured breaths*
*he takes another breath*
"Even before that though- take a breath Jim, you need to breath."
°...a somewhat larger, shuddery breath, and then another°
"...Slow and deep Jim, five second count. Ok, Snow Ears- fake sneeze for yes three meows for no, are you with the Void and-slash-or do you mean us any harm?"
*they jump through the tear into what they hope is a safe place.*

With a groan, Alphie lifts their head, trying to recall details of what happened and how they ended up tied to a chair.
There’s something almost cliche about this scenario. They’re in a darkened room, waking up with their arms tied behind a chair. Judging from the way the tape is wrapped around their wrists, Alphie can guess whoever the kidnapper is has experience with kidnap.
