just me loving that even though in TBK, Adaine is probably Riz's bestie now that Fabian is with him, Penny is the one that he reaches out to:

“Do you think it makes me less asexual?” he’d asked Penny over the crystal when Fabian had darted off to collect their food. “Being with Fabian?” “I think…only you can decide what you think is the most you,” Penny had replied, utter certainty coloring her voice even over the line. “Do you want to have sex? With Fabian?” “I mean,” Riz blushed, “we kinda did some of that this morning.” Penny didn’t jeer or make fun (or gag) like his friends would’ve, love them to death but they were such children and Penny was solid. “Did you like it?” she asked. “Asexual doesn’t mean lacking libido,” Riz said pointedly. “No, but it does generally mean lacking attraction sexually,” Penny replied reasonably. “You love Fabian, right?” “Yeah.” “So that means you’re, at the very least, romantically interested in Fabian and not…sex-averse,” Penny said slowly. She’d done a lot of googling when Riz had come out to her. “You liked sex with him, but you’d probably be fine without it, too, right?” Riz had nodded, even though she couldn’t see it. “Um, yeah.” “You might be sex-neutral, leaning slightly towards sex-positive, but there’s a lot within the spectrum of asexuality. You could be graysexual or demisexual, there’s a bunch, but I’m sure you did the research yourself.” Riz had. “I think,” he said, chewing on his words, “I’m more demisexual.” “That’s very cool,” Penny assured him. “And you’ve got a great partner who loves you, who is affectionate with you, even if it doesn’t mean you’re sleeping together every night.” “I think he said something about rather having me be his and going without than anything else,” Riz admitted, his face hot and undoubtedly glowing like a beacon. Thank the gods Fabian was out of the house. “That’s so romantic!” Penny gushed. “He’s so sweet with you, it makes me happy.” “It makes you happy?” Riz asked, baffled. “Yeah, you being happy makes me happy,” Penny said. “And you look so happy in every picture I’ve gotten from Fig—” “She is banned from taking pictures of us, I swear to Cassandra—“ Riz swore under his breath. He was so sure that their party was compiling a folder of pictures of what they deemed to be Riz and Fabian being cute together, saving it for when they were official to drop them on Magebook. Assholes. He meant that affectionately, even if he was pretty irritable about them taking pictures of him on the sly. (Only Fabian was allowed the pictures of him and Riz asleep and cuddling and Fig and Kristen had been good enough to delete their copies, because even if they thought they were cute together, it was a weird thing to have a picture of on your crystal, your sleeping friends who were together.) “—and I think you deserve to be this happy, even if you don’t think so yet,” Penny had continued and heat burned in Riz’s eyes. “But I’m pretty sure Fabian is working on that side of things.” “Thanks,” Riz said thickly. “It means a lot. That you like him, I mean.”

465 Peugeot Type 15 8hp Twin-Cylinder Double-Phaeton (1898) by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Peugeot Double Phaeton (1897-01) Engine 8 hp twin cylinder Country of Origin France Production Body Double Phaeton Chassis Number 439 Engine Number 174 Registration Number CH 71 (Derby) PEUGEOT ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623690496925... Armand Peugeot produced his first prototype car as early as 1880 and in 1891 produced a batch of five cars each slightly different from the rest. He had been in contact with Gottlieb Daimler and Emile Levassor and formed a collaboration to produce cars with a Daimler patent engine, produced by Panhard Levassor under licence. By 1895 he had decided to go his own way, tiring of the family firm he founded SA des Peugeot at uAdincourt in 1897 then in Paris from 1900. The new company produced 323 in 1899 and 500 in 1900. The light cars had rear mounted engines, while the heavier cars had their engines under the front seat. By 1902 the designs were modernised by Louis Delage, who remained with the company until 1905 Peugeot ended its Daimler partnership and produced their first in-house engine for this car, made in their recently built Audincourt factory. Their transversely mounted flat-twin was a departure from this prior foreign-made V-twin engine. The Peugeot Type 15 has a horizontal 8hp twin-cylinder engine displacing approximately 2.2 litres, which drives via four-speeds-plus-reverse gearbox, making it an advanced design for the day. It also has an early form of governor-controlled 'cruise control', with hot tub ignition This car was delivered new to its first owner a resident of the Muriac region of France, on the 16th July 1898 The Peugeot must have been well cared-for during its early life and subsequent storage, as by the 1950s, when the car came into the possession of the Museo di Rodo at Uzès in the Gard department of southern France, it was complete and un-restored. When the museum closed in the 1980s, It then came to England selling at a London auction, it was then comprehensively restored retaining most of its original parts, and in more recent times has been a regular entrant in the annual London to Brighton Veteran Vehicle run, as well as a winner of the Regents Street concours. Pictured here in the Bonhams enclosure at Prescott prior to being offered by Bonhams at their Golden Age of Motoring sale in New Bond Street, on the 4th November 2022, where it sold for a record £494,500 inc. premium Diolch am 96,761,159 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.

Rereading Moondae helping Lee (Bae) Sejin with his company stuff and Sejin saying he'll pay him back by helping him the future knowing he helps Moondae become aware of his drinking problem and how much of a shy awkward caring guy he is. Yeah I'm feeling things

Pop, you fucking dumbass. You never ever go into an abandoned building with someone you barely know. And you most definitely don't go into the basement of said abandoned building with said person. You've been working as a vigilante. You should know this.
