But doesn't Yoojin have a few fetishes?

In chapter 41-42 of the novel, when Director Song strangles him, he doesn't see it as a bad thing and even grows more fond of him. And yes, we can say that this is because Yoojin realized the director did it out of concern for him, but it's still suspicious.

Later in the chapters where they are dismantling the Awakening Center and cleaning up the organization, Yoojin mentions how unpleasant it is to have the organization's leaders tied up in front of him and how he wishes he could have young, attractive men tied up in front of him instead...

Later in the chapters where the puppeteer tries to take Director Song away and they are forced to enter subspace with the Chinese man (I'm so sorry, I forgot his name and couldn't find it anywhere), he mentions how he would like the servant in subspace to have Sung Hyunjae's face and call him "master." Then they have a conversation where he tries not to look like someone with strange fetishes, but it only makes him look worse (because he is someone with a strange fetishes).

There may be, and I know there are, many more moments like these.

After a significant hiatus, Pulp return with their new album More. When Pulp began performing live again, I think many were eager for this new music, but taking the time to reacquaint themselves with each other and working on this for months in secret before finally putting it out there seems to have really paid off. The record feels as if they’ve been making music together all along. This really…

(I already have too much anons in your askbox, need to rectify that)

hmm... this actually gave me a scene idea so i hope you dont mind if i hijack with a rough ficlet...

The Titan Army demigods had a cardinal rule on the battlefield: lose sight of Annabeth Chase, and you started counting the seconds you had left to live.

Though technically in this case, Alabaster hadn't lost sight of her. He's walking back to his assigned quarters in the ruins of Olympus, a golden-grilled shed where Hephaestus formerly kept his robots (he really tries to not think of what it means that Kronos placed him here...), when she ambushes him with a knife to the throat.

She's fast, and Alabaster knows he'd lose on any good day, even moreso that he hasn't slept for 2 days straight now. So his back hits the wall with an unceremonious wheeze, metal biting at delicate skin.

"Free him," she says lowly.

"I don't know who you're talking about."

Annabeth slams him against the wall once more, the back of his head making painful contact. His vision goes awry and refocuses when he's eye-level with one of her boots.

The other grinds his spelling hand down onto the ground to stop him from casting any magic.

"Play dumb again, Tory, and your hand gets the knife. You know who I'm talking about; you've been ordered to execute him tomorrow."

He snorts, meeting her piercing gaze. "Keyword: ordered. If you want to save Jackson's life, save your threats for those on top."

But of course, someone like Annabeth Chase doesn't need something that obvious explained to her. She crouches down, and Alabaster's jaw drops in a silent scream as the increasing weight on his hand threatens to tear it apart.

"You owe him a blood debt," she haughtily tells him.

Alabaster's eyes narrow. "No the fuck I don't," he hisses.

She smiles, a cat capturing the canary. "Your little brother, the one who just turned 12. The one who warned you that the ship was going to blow up. How do you think he knew?"

Blood drains from his face. Peter had refused to tell him.

"A life for a life," Annabeth says, then she goes in for the kill: "Ethan would agree."

"Shut up," he snarls, even as his throat goes tight. "Don't you dare pretend you had any love lost for him."
