Anyone else look up Spider-Hamâs origin story after the movie and justâŠ
Hey, I remember seeing someone saying, spiderman is created by a spider biting a human, in that case what if a human bit a spider? Does it then turn into some kind of superhero-spider-with-human-powers?
Today I ... kinda got my answer...
I think Siri is confused đ
Today the Department of Phenomenal Papercraft is oohing and aahing over the work of Japanese artist Naoki Onogawa. Inspired by the ancient legend of 1000 Origami cranes and the story of Sadako Sasaki, Onogawa creates exquisite bonsai trees with miniature origami cranes for leaves.
âSince ancient times, Japanese people have been mindful of natural phenomenon. While confronting our fears of the natural world, we worship and co-exist in harmony with nature. As one symbol of nature, trees possess a life force which lies in all natural things,â Naoki writes on her blog. âIâve tried to endow my artworks with this energy. Through looking at my works, I hope you can feel this life force too.â
Follow Naoki Onogawa on Instagram to keep up with her latest work.

Go Away
(Part 11 of Insomnia)
Black Hat looked at the time. It was almost midnight. Flug hadnât shown up at curfew!
He growled to himself and stood. It didnt matter, he didnât want to see Flug anyways.
Groaning in disgust at the thought of Flug, he walked to the door. No reason to waste his time on something as trivial as sleep tonight. Must as well go get some work done.
Opening and closing the door to his room, he stepped into the hallway and started towards his office.
Black Hat needed to clear his mind, he couldnât focus on work with such horrid thoughts as Flug interfering with his train of thought. He let his mind wander elsewhere as he navigated the halls.
Turning a corner he looked at the self portraits along the wall. He was a wonderful being, so powerful, so evil, so monstrous! He was a glorious beast, no human could ever fully appreciate his amazing power.
Smiling evilly to himself he filled his head with narcissistic thoughts, inflating his own ego. He was amazing! He was Black Hat! He was-
As he neared the doors to the lab on his way to his office he saw a peculiar sight. Flug was sprawled out in the hall, passed out and whimpering in his sleep.
Black Hatâs train of thought went to a halt as he walked closer to Flugâs unconscious form.
Why was he here? Where was his bag?
Looking over he saw the bag a few feet away, it looked damp, as if water had spilled onto it and it had been left out to dry.
He leaned forward and closely inspected the scene in front of him. Flugâs face was slightly puffy and pink, as if he had been crying recently.
Black Hatâs gaze narrowed. Why had he been crying? Standing straight he thought to himself for a moment before remembering the events he had worked so hard to clear his mind of.
âOh, bloody hellâŠâ He mumbled to himself before frowning and growling in repulsion.
Black Hat stood there, staring down at him. The longer he stared, the foggier his mind became. He wanted to leave and never see him again, but something inside him prevented him from moving. He was immobilized by something deep in his gut, a small flutter still remaining in him.
The flutter began to grow, extending wings inside his gut and crawling up to his chest. Snapping out of his trance he took a step back, realizing what was happening. He still had feelings for Flug, they hadnât left or even lessened.
Black Hat shook his head, hoping that by some magic the feelings would be shaken out. Alas, they were not, and he let out a shakey sigh in frustration. Looking back to Flug caused soft flutters to scatter throughout his core, and he hated it. He loathed it. Why wouldnât it just go away!?
He growled loudly to himself, a bit too loudly. Flug was pulled back into consciousness, groaning as he pushed weight onto his arm to lift his body slightly. With a solid push he was in a sitting position. Moving his hands to rub his eyes, he noticed the absence of his bag and goggles.
His eyes snapped open and he immediately stared directly at Black Hat. Memories smashed into his head and he let out a loud squeal, waving his arms and falling back onto the floor.
âJ-jefecito!â He sprang up and tried to walk forward towards Black Hat but was met with a stab of pain in his head and a feeling of nausea penetrated his stomach, causing him to stumble back and fall back onto the floor.
Black Hat narrowed his eyes. âDonât call me that ever again.â
Flugâs eyes widened, and he felt something shatter deep in his chest.
Black Hat growled and turned, walking down the hall towards his office. Flug sat there and felt like he was going to vomit. He was unable to cry, there was nothing left to get out.
Watching his boss, Flug didnât move. He wasnât able to move, every part of his body felt weak. His body felt like he had weights tied to every muscle, and every movement was pain.
Everything felt hopeless. He had wanted to be with Black Hat so badly, he had wished so hard for him to realize his feelings, but never thought about if he would accept or reject them.
Flug turned his attention back to his boss. He had moved further down the hall, almost out of sight.
Why didnât Black Hat believe him? Why couldnât he believe that Flug was telling the truth?
Flug looked to the floor, pressing his palms down on the cood surface. His mind was blank for a few seconds before he narrowed his eyes in determination. He gripped the floor, pushing his hands down hard and his whole body trembled.
If Black Hat refused believe his words, then he would show him and make him believe them.

Part 0 General Storyline
This is an intro part for Millennium
The princesses go through a regular day of their lives (or is that so...)
9:00 morning exercise: combat training
9:00 adressing major issues and further discussions (Emperor Seen and Empress Yue)
Noon break
14:00 independent studying and accessing the Box
15:00 afternoon watch (Emperor Seen)
15:00 looking after the princesses (Empress Yue)
Dinner
The incident:
The first paranormal entity encountered in Millennium for a long time, the weeper (Emperor Seen's vision)
Princess Ray is on the job, alone (nobody was to know about it)
Princess Rong jumps in due to their parents' command
The Box
This is one of the craziest Dynasty III inventions
Before Empress Yi passed away, she decided to make an AI simulation of herself out of her memories, the recorded past and everything else. This simulation serves the purpose of mimicking the period of history to educate young princes and princesses over strategy and all sorts of things
The Box sounds like a physical room or hall, but it is not. The Box is commonly accessed during sleep through a VR dreamscape
Empress Yi's son, the Generation II emperor, found this method of education quite interesting, so he made it compulsory for the younger generation to go into the Box and interact with the AI and "history"; he himself decides to make a similar AI of himself after he passes away
Although the AI's living in the Box are supposedly exact copies of the former Emperor/Empress, they are not allowed to continue ruling the country as their original selves, and they are kept always in the Box and never let out
This isn't happening
(Part 9 of Insomnia)
Black Hat leans back in his seat and takes a deep breath.
How? How could this happen? He was BLACK HAT. He could destroy all of humanity in an instant, but has now fallen for a part of it himself.
He was disgusted. Disgusted in both Flug and himself.
Why would he fall for a human. Humans are pathetic and worthless and emotional. What could he possibly find appealing in one? And of all the humans why Flug? He was just so cowardly and nervous and⊠and⊠cute.
Dear hats he hates cute things. Kittens, puppies⊠bleh. He hated all of it. But Flug⊠he was different. He had more to him than just cute. He was smart. No, he was brilliant. The way he moved and the way he worked was absolutely mesmerizing. And that made the fact that he was cute⊠tolerable. And even desirable.
Wait, what is he thinking?! Why is he thinking about this nonsense! This is not happening. He does not have feelings for that clumsy piece of flesh. That is absolutely revolting!
Black Hat stands and paces the floor. He mutters profanities under his breath before walking to his desk and slamming his fist forcefully onto the wood. He hears the desk crack and looks down at the damage.
He just cracked his own desk. Why did he just crack his own desk?
He stands there looking at it for a moment thinking to himself.
With a loud sigh he snaps his fingers and the desk is fixed. He decides to go outside for some fresh air, hoping that maybe it will help clear his mind.
He walks down the hallways and looks at the paintings and photos along the walls. Most of them are of himself, a few include others. Not many, though.
He reaches the front door and steps out, breathing in deeply and letting out a sigh. He closes the door and stands there, watching the town as people minded their own business.
Leaning against the door he shuts his eye for a moment. God his head hurt, when did this headache start?
Furrowing his eyebrows together he tried to focus on nothing. He wanted to clear his mind.
But he couldnât. All he could think about was the realization that he had feelings for that miserable human.
With a groan he looked around, watching. He couldnât stand this, he needed to do something. Anything.
He walks back inside and stands there, unsure of where to go. He sees 5.0.5 cleaning some paintings and watches him for a moment before someone walks around the corner.
Flug.
Black Hat tenses, not wanting to accept or acknowledge his feelings but he canât help the leap in his chest as soon as he sees Flug.
âOh, hi Jefe! I- sir are you okay?â
Noticing how tense his boss is, Flug grows concerned and walks over to him. âWhy are you so tense? Did something happen?â
Black Hat shifted, trying to compose himself. He did not want to let his feelings known to Flug. Flug was a human, he would never share feelings like this for someone like himself. Humans mate with humans, he had never heard of a case otherwise.
âI am fine, mind youâre own business you idiot! Donât you have work to do? Iâm not forcing you to sleep early just for you to lounge around all day!â
Flug grows nervous and gulps. âO-oh, I was having trouble focusing so I w-was taking a small w-walk around to try to clear my th-thoughtsâŠ"Â
Black Hat chuckles, knowing exactly how he feels before speaking up with a calmer tone, âGet back to work.â
âYes s-sir.â Flug backs away before scuttling off, speedwalking down the hall and tripping over his feet, falling to the floor briefly before scrambling up and running to the lab, hoping he wasnât noticed.
His fall was noticed, however, by Black Hat. He groaned to himself before walking to his office, mentally slapping himself in the face for finding it so cute.Â
He sits in his chair and buries his face in his hands.
âI canât believe thisâŠâ He mumbles, âI canât believe⊠I wonât. This isnât happening.â He sits up and slams a fist on the table. âThis isnât happening and I will prove it to myself.â
He stands up and straightens his coat before stomping out the door, swiftly trudging down the halls as he focuses on the hallways in front of him. Marching down to Flugâs lab he bursts open the door and steps in triumphantly.
Flug jumps and grabs his chest, âJefectio, you scared me! What are you doing in here?â He looks at Black Hat and tilts his head, looking like a confused puppy.
Black Hatâs insides immediately melt to goo and the sound of Flugâs voice pounds into his skull, sending waves through his spine that shoog straight into his legs and makes his knees feel like jelly. His stomach ties into knots and his chest feels like itâs about to burst.
Okay, that wasnât normal. Maybe he does have feelings for the human.
âI just came in to see how much you had done today. What are you working on?â Black Hat shakes his head slightly and walks up to Flug, coming up with and excuse to change the subject.
Flug raises an eyebrow. âThat was quite an entrance for a check up.â He shrugs, âbut Iâve gotten 2 blueprints finished and have been tinkering with a few other devices.â
âAh. Good. Carry on, then.â Black Hat turns to leave before he is interrupted.
âUh, sir? Are you feeling well? You have been acting strange today.â
Black Hat could feel heat in his face and was glad he wasnât facing Flug. Flug cares for his wellbeing, that adorable little idiotâŠ
âYes, I am fine. Donât worry about it, I can handle it myself. No need for your concern.â Black Hat stated, looking down at the floor.
âHandle what?â
Black Hat flinched. He slipped up, how can he get out of this? He didnât want to lie, but he definitely didnât want to tell the truth.
âWell⊠I have a lot on my mind.â
âLike what? If you need help with something I can be of assistance. N-Not that I donât t-think you canât handle it yourselfâŠâ Flug trails off, getting nervous.
Black Hat feels like his chest has been hit with a bullet. Why did he have so many emotions!?
âPersonal⊠things. You wouldnât be interested.â
âWell I am.â
âIt doesnât matter.â
âTell me.â
âWhy?â Black Hat whips around, glaring at him. Flug can see a light blush dusted across his face.
âBoss, are you⊠blushing?â Flug squints, trying to look closer before it clicks in his head.
Oh. He figured it out.

This IS HAPPENING yay!!!
Add-in I
Rules for the Crowd:
They are not allowed to make rules or laws themselves, they are only there to question and criticize
Needs of the people are commonly addressed by the Revenue, Custom or Expansion Divisions, the Crowd just provides evidence for (the situation is correctly addressed) or against (there's no such thing as described/the situation is underestimated) their claims
The Emperor/Empress is the boss, through thorough consideration they make the final decision, the Crowd cannot object by then
Remember: the information technology by then is pretty strong, it's not difficult for anyone to find out if the Crowd or the Six Divisions purposefully left out or lied about something
The Social and Political Structure of Millennium
This only implies to Dynasty III
Starting from Dynasty III Generation I Empress Yi:
The Six Divisions
Title head of each division: Chancellor
Personnel:
Discovering young talents all over the world, training then and choosing the suitable to enter the government system
Revenue:
Manages the land's economy, collecting taxes and distributing collected money, organizing charity events
Custom:
Organizing festivities, recovery of remains of ancient culture before the Wash, relationships between the people and the royal family
War:
Military affairs, research and improvement of weaponry
Justice:
Inspector of rules and law, organizing courtrooms and punishment of crime
Expansion:
Social and scientific research, innovation and improvement of technology, city plan, civil engineering and management
Note:
The six Chancellors will step off with their Emperor/Empress when a new Emperor/Empress takes over and picks six new Chancellors. During the career of one Emperor/Empress, the Chancellors usually don't change (unless they are incompetent, which never happened with Dynasty III)
The Justice Division only inspects and agrees/disagrees to rules and laws, the rules and laws comes from other Divisions and on extremely rare occasions, the Emperor and/or the Empress themselfs
The Crowd
10 representatives of the general public, which changes every 6 months due to votes, once chosen they travel from all parts of the world to the city Millennium, lives there for 6 months and joins the Discussion. (One can not be a member of the Crowd for more than 12 months)
The 10 members of the Crowd each comes from a different social ranking and circle
The Crowd thinks from the people's point of view, questions what is happening in their world and criticizes the rules and laws before they are agreed by the Justice Division. The Crowd has the right to receive perfectly clear answers from the Chancellors and the Emperor and Empress in order to make a judgement, they are allowed to argue amongst themselves. The Crowd's final opinions are commonly more valued then the Chancellors' opinions.
There are also cases in which the Crowd is really over-demanding, there are of course laws and actions regarding this situation
The Dark Currents:
No, these are NOT the villains of this world, these are groups of people doing nice things for everyone that are sometimes forgotten by both the Six Divisions and the Crowd, in other words, unofficial heros; and of course, the Emperor and Empress know about them, and the Dark Currents don't necessarily serve the royal family, the Dark Currents are usually peaceful and silent (not fighting for recognition)
Get off me!
(Part 8 to Insomnia)
Flug woke up and looked around to see that he was curled up against Black Hatâs chest. Shuffling a bit he felt how tightly his boss was holding him, and how tightly he himself was holding his boss.
They had been sleeping in a very tight embrace and Flug could tell his arms were going to be very sore for the rest of the day.
He looked at Black Hat, who was sound asleep and snoring softly. Flug sighed, boy did he look cute when he slept. He just wished he could say or do something about itâŠ
Flug closed his eyes and rested his head against Black Hat, enjoying the closeness and daydreaming, waiting for his boss to awaken.
A half hour later he felt Black Hat stir, and a hand gripping his side. Black Hat opened his eyes and jerked when he noticed how close Flug was before remembering this was his own doing.
Sighing heavily, he nuzzled his forehead into Flugâs bag. He wished Flug was awake; he wanted to hold him close and hug him but he didnât know why. He just wanted Flug close and he wanted Flug to hold him close in return. Little did he know that Flug was awake and was feeling the same way.
The little scientist decided to make his consciousness known and pushed back on his chest a bit. Black Hat begrudgingly let him go as quickly as he could, not wanting to be caught and seen as weak, but also not wanting to let go in the first place.
 Flug sat up and rubbed his eyes underneath is bag, yawning loudly. Black Hat followed and sat up, peering over at him in disgust.
âWhatâs wrong, Jefe?â
Black Hat rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. âYour human sleeping rituals are pathetic, grabbing on to me like a filthy dog, eughâŠ"Â
Flug held back a chuckle and stood up, stretching. He glances at his boss for permission to leave, and upon seeing him nod Flug leaves the room for breakfast.
After receiving his coffee and finishing it, Black Hat walks to his office to try to get some work done. He had gotten behind on paperwork and needed to focus his mind somewhere.
Upon entering his office he was met with 5.0.5, who was dusting a few paintings. Black Hat decided to ignore him and proceeded to his desk.
He wasnât paying much attention and let out a screech in surprise as he was lifted into the air, two giant bear arms around his waist.
âPut me down you idiot! I have work to do!â Black Hat yelled, furious.
5.0.5 did not do so, and instead hugged him tighter and sat down with him in his lap. Black Hat fought to get out of his grip but alas he couldnât escape.
Black Hat did not want this, this was physical contact, he did not like that. He wanted freedom. How dare this bear hug him!?
Dementia crawled in and giggled. âAww, look at you two!â
Black Hat struggled, âDementia! get him off me, now!â But she did not do so, she only laughed harder.
âGrrr, why is this failed experiment hugging me!?â 5.0.5 gave a small coo in satisfaction, enjoying the fact that he was hugging something. âAnd why is he enjoying it so much? Go away!â
Dementia walks up and leans on 5.0.5, greatly amused at the scene before her. âHe is hugging you because he loves you! He likes being around you!â
Black Hat growled in response, finally getting free and summoning a mass of tentacles to aggressively throw them out of the room.
Marching to his desk he sulks and grumbles to himself, âStupid bear hugging me because he loves me oh bloody please he doesnât even-â Oh. Wait a second.
He is hugging me because he loves me. That meansâŠ
Oh.
Oh my.
That meansâŠ
OH!!!
Black Hat stumbled back, the realization finally hitting him. He needed to sit down.
Stumbling over to his chair he sat down, sweating profusely. Laying back he repeated the words over in his head.
This is not happening.
This is not happening.
This is not happening.
This⊠is notâŠ.
ThâŠ
This⊠canât be happening.
Can⊠can this be happening?
Is this happening?
He needed answers and he needed them right now.

About the Royal Family
As I have written before, the Dynasty III royal bloodline has magical abilities.
The Dynasty III Generation I Empress has strengthened and improved the rules regarding royal weddings, descendents, and future emperor/empress selection
Marriage
The parents play a major role in the emperor or epress's choice of a partner. The emperor/empress only marries once in their life (a second marriage is only allowed when there is less than 2 descendents through the first marriage, which never happened during Dynasty III yet), to one partner
The old emperor/empress, the chosen prince/princess's dad/mom, steps off the throne voluntarily when they reach the age of 50, the new emperor/empress (the chosen), around 25 years old, takes their place. The partner choosing and royal wedding usually happens right before the old emperor/empress retires
Descendants
As you may see in the marriage description, the royal couple must have at least 2 children, regardless of gender
The Prophecy System
From the age of 3, the young princes and princesses will be observed by an intelligent data-mining program, which records their character traits and predicts their behavior. This aids the emperor/empress when they choose the next emperor/empress. When none of their descendents seem to be suitable future leaders, the emperor and the empress will have to add a new member to their family tree and hope he/she will show more promise
