Some of you may already know from my here-and-there chatter that I actually work as a *real-life* writer and editor. Yep, it's true!
In honor of my day job, I thought I'd give all the HxH guys jobs in a newsroom.
Here's the positions I think they'd win Pulitzers at.
No FAKE NEWS at this outlet, folks!
-Gon works at the sports desk, and because he's so damn hyper, his editor sends him out to all the games to do on-camera field work
-At this very moment, he's in Tokyo interviewing Naomi Osaka.
-(His phone rings)
-"Hot damn, Aaron Rodgers really confirmed he's going to play for the Packers this season? I'm hopping on a plane to Cali right this fuckin' minute! We're scooping ESPN on this one."
-"I'm sick of copy-editing. I feel like a robot. I want to go with Gon"
-"We only need one field reporter at the games, Kil"
-"Fine. I'll be his cameraman"
-"We already have a cameraman, Kil"
-"Not anymore." (Hands his editor a bag)
-"Jesus Christ, Kil! All right, fuck, dude. Let's just make this look like an accident..."
-"Mr. President, I'm the senior news correspondent, and I'd like to ask you a few questions about your proposed infrastructure plan. Can you go over a few highlights of the bipartisanship nature of this, and exactly how much this is going to cost American taxpayers?"
-He doesn't want to be the health and science writer, but due to his medical school background, that's what he is qualified for
-Consoles himself with the fact that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he'll have way more bylines than anyone else
-"I really wanted to be the entertainment reporter"
-Sighing, he returns to writing yet another story about the Delta variant
-"So, darling, spill it. I'm on pins and needles about this upcoming Jeffrey and Ghislane documentary. I hear you have actual footage of Chrissy Teigen on the island? Is that true?"

-(Delivery person enters, places down a bouquet of flowers)
-"Oh, look, isn't that sweet." (Opens card) "Oh, my, it's a thank-you from Gwen and Blake. Can I just say, that wedding was fab-u-lous?"
-(His phone vibrates)
-"Darling, so sorry for all the interruptions" (Looks at phone, giggles) "Oh, that naughty Brit-Brit. I told her to stop sending me topless photos. It's not a good look when she's in legalities."
-TMZ keeps trying to lure him away
-Editor-in-chief
-Has a plaque that says "ZOLDYCK" sitting on his desk
-Has a penchant for screaming "KILL IT!" when anyone writes a sucky story
-Chrollo is the ominously named "Head of Media Group" whom nobody ever sees. He only emerges during newsroom all-hands meetings for brief appearances, in which he scares the living fuck out of everyone by grimly mentioning quarterly earnings, as well as thinly veiled hints of "major layoffs if you don't all get your numbers up."
-He's on the police/crime beat
-Someone murder their wife? Bury their children in the backyard? Drive their car through a packed shopping mall? Randomly shoot up a government agency? F. Portor on the scene, baby, he's your man.
-TMZ keeps trying to lure him away
-"We really have the best staff photographer"
-"His shots are excellent. I hear he's won several photojournalism awards"
-(Feitan) "Do they know you just snap those things on your phone?"
-(Shalnark) "Shut up, asshole, or I'm sending an anonymous tip to TMZ about you"

The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.

Sustaining the King's Life
On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid. ** 1-2 chapters a day (GMT+8) ** (The artwork belongs to me.
