What can a Level Plan MLM Software do for your Business?

In today's dynamic business landscape, companies are constantly seeking innovative ways to expand their reach, increase sales, and maximize profits. One such strategy that has gained significant traction in recent years is Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). MLM companies are using sophisticated software solutions to streamline their operations and stay competitive in the market. In this article, we will delve into the world of Level Plan MLM software and explore what it can do for your business.

Understanding the Level Plan MLM

Before we dive into the benefits of Level Plan MLM software, it's essential to understand the concept of the Level Plan MLM itself. Also known as the Uni-Level MLM plan, it is a compensation plan that focuses on building a strong and deep downline network. Unlike traditional binary or matrix plans, the Level Plan allows distributors to build their team without any width limitations.

In a Level Plan MLM, each distributor recruits new members and places them on the same level, forming a single line or level. As more members are added to the downline, the network grows vertically, allowing for unlimited expansion. Commissions and bonuses are typically paid based on the sales volume generated by the entire downline, ensuring that each distributor has the potential to earn significant income.

The Role of Level Plan MLM Software

Level Plan MLM software is designed to simplify and automate the intricate processes involved in managing a Level Plan MLM business. Here's what it can do for your business:

1. Efficient Tracking and Management

One of the key advantages of Level Plan MLM software is its ability to track and manage a vast network of distributors effortlessly. It provides real-time insights into the performance of each distributor, making it easier to identify top performers and areas that need improvement. This level of data granularity enables business owners to make informed decisions and implement strategies that drive growth.

2. Accurate Compensation Calculations

Calculating commissions and bonuses in a Level Plan MLM can be a complex task due to the depth and structure of the downline. Level Plan MLM software automates this process, ensuring accurate and timely payouts to distributors. This not only saves time but also enhances trust and transparency among distributors, fostering a positive working environment.

3. Seamless Communication

Effective communication is essential for the success of any MLM business. Level Plan MLM software often includes built-in communication tools such as messaging systems and notifications. This facilitates smooth communication between the company and its distributors, keeping everyone informed about promotions, product launches, and other important updates.

4. Scalability

As your Level Plan MLM business grows, so does the complexity of managing the network. Level Plan MLM software is highly scalable, adapting to the changing needs of your business. Whether you have a small team or a massive network, the software can handle the load, ensuring that your operations remain efficient.

5. Compliance and Security

MLM businesses must adhere to legal and regulatory requirements to operate successfully. Level Plan MLM software often comes with built-in compliance features, helping businesses stay within the boundaries of the law. Additionally, it offers robust security measures to protect sensitive data and transactions.

Conclusion

In a world where technology plays a pivotal role in business operations, Level Plan MLM software is an indispensable tool for MLM companies looking to thrive. It streamlines operations, enhances communication, ensures accuracy in compensation calculations, and fosters scalability. With the right Level Plan MLM software, your business can reach new heights and stay ahead of the competition.

The MLM hack list

Alright. So there are a bunch of MLM diet companies that make a shitload of money of of us and yet our obesity rates in developed countries are thru the freaking roof.

How many times have you gotten the messages on Facebook, Instagram or whatever and it's like: Hey girl, haven't seen you since high school, let's get coffee... OR... they just post the precopied message & ask about your goals, & proceed to add a flurry of hyperpositive social media messages, like my friend recently did to me.

Did anyone in high school like you? Not me! Do that screams danger from the start. I was horrendously bullied in elementary school. I was gone to a parochial school for a couple years so the only reason that I avoided constant bullying in high school was because... they forgot who I was.

Here are some ideas I stole from various companies, cheaper:

Herbalife: this company's stuff works, for 2 reasons- you replace 2 out of 3 meals with shakes. However, alot of people are not successful if they make their shakes at home and if they add in all the snack bars. People do, however, lose weight if they get their shakes from a "nutrition" shop. Why? Because they blend those shakes super thick with a metric shitton of ice & I think alot of them add sf pudding, which enhances the thickness. Also, you get an iced tea, normally with added fiber. So the answer is- you have 2 drinks that take a long time to finish AND give you added caffeine & fiber. So? Just do it at home: keep your shake calories low, make it extra large & thicker than a snicker, & follow with a caffeinated tea & add fiber to it. I like the herbalife brand but I order it off Amazon so I don't have to get the whole shpeel. Now brand has "prebiotic fiber" that is cheaper. There is also benefiber from Walmart. It is cheap, so why not?

Beachbody: you don't need to spend a billion dollars on protein shakes or meal replacement shakes. I do, however, love some of their workout systems.

Tai Slim: this company's great idea was the chocolate gluccomannon chews, I just didn't know ot at the time. I have tried to order it but have been unable to so maybe they don't make it any more. So my hack would be- the chocolate calcium chews, some gluccomannon tablets, & a large glass of water.

Modere: this company was all over tik tok & reels for awhile, while the reps were trying to schlep people into this scheme. The Golden Child was the liquid CLA chocolate, probably because it tastes like a chocolatey treat while it is actually a CLA supplement. CLA can be purchased at almost any health food store, way cheaper.

Plexus: the pink drink. More research needed on this, but I think it is just a fiber drink. Hack: gluccomannon powder & a Starburst all pink flavor packet.

Most of these companies often sell an associated "fat burner:" often something with caffeine, ecgc from green tea, etc. You can get something similar at a health food store for a fraction of the price. If you want something fancy, there is Ember from the Ambrosia Collective. Use the Google. MFINGCOO is a discount code that I think still works, but it isn't mine.

Buy In for then"tribe:" Weight watchers (not an MLM, just a diet culture sales supergiant but they still somehow acquire affiliates, idk if that qualifies as a True MLM), beachbody, herbalife are pretty cultish in nature-- they rope you into a bunch of meetings, calls, and online groups. If someone calls you to ask why you weren'tat Power Hour, you may have bought into a cult! It works by reprogramming certain thought & behavior patterns..... Basically a bunch of people are sharing ideas regularly and getting involved in their cultish antics.& promoting it on social media. (Example: OMG have you tried the new WW/herbalife/beachbody PROTEIN BAR?? Only $15 for 4!! What a deal! LINK IN MY BIO) You can do this on your own by finding your own people. You can get your own seminars by watching a lot of youtube. Anything that focuses on reprogramming you to cook at home and eat primarily whole foods will probably work. Join free groups. Disregard anything outside of what works for you ( I have to ignore a lot of dessert recipes because they cause bingeing for me).

Lipozene: pretty sure this is just gluccomannon. You can find gluccomannon tablets way cheaper at a health food store. Walmart also was carrying a generic version.

Hydroxycut: pretty sure the active ingredient here is HCA? I don't have a bottle currently to look. But isn't HCA just garcinia? So much cheaper at a health food store. I personally cannot take hydroxycut, it makes me RAGE. I like, get upset and freak out at work, so I don't even think I am willing to try it again.

It works: I think the skinny coffee would be comparable to the "slim coffee," which was cheaper but seemed to be chromium. You can just pick up a chromium supplement... & seriously, you can just drink coffee. Don't add calories to it.

Apple cider vinegar gummies: Just take shots of apple cider vinegar. You can buy a gallon at walmart, it will last a long time. Play with shot recipes, you can do good girl moonshine (ala Trim Healthy Mamma), & use it liberally for dressing recipes.

L-Glutamine: don't remember the company, but this is available at more health food stores, not for $100 a container.

Maybe I have bought so much shit so you don't have it. Is there an MLM company I missed? 🤔 let me know and I will check it out for future posts.

Remember- whatever you do, stay safe. Research your shit. Focus on your daily habits and remember that what you are eating outweighs almost any supplement you could buy. Eat whole food, walk, have an exercise routine & stop expecting a 30 day result for a body that took you 40 years (or whatever) to create.

I definitely don't think the ozempic trend is worth the cost, but if there is no other way for you & you have the money, it is worth a shot. Just don't expect your insurance to pay for it. Many insurance companies are currently not covering it, and I don't really know if they should consider it.

Surgery? If there is no other way and you want to, go for it.

The way that these things work though, is by changing what you are eating. Period. These are all systems to change what you ingest and you can change what you eat for free.

I am still on Nomorbidity & Alkemi from the Ambrosia Collective. I have not found suitable replacements for them but I am also not looking hard, they have a reasonable price point to me.

Edited: To reword, as WW is a diet culture vulture, not quite an MLM. Just a big money making company.

Hey! I really like your writing. And I especially enjoyed your Hannibal and Will Graham fics and latest about stucky x reader. If I can request something with will x hannibal x reader? Gn or male whatever you feel more up to. I would love to hear your original ideas for pairing, but if you'd rather have a concept to start from. I thought about Will having a good friend before canon working in buro. Both having crush on each other, but Will wasn't quite ready to start relationship. Enter Hannibal and his attempts to get Will out of his shell. First thinking reader to be a hindrance for his plan to ensnare Will, but later discovering that they're mesmerizing on their own.

I hope it's not too much to ask. Thank you. I love both good poly and mlm headcanons. There's totally should be more of them and I am glad to see your delightful contribution. 💛✨

Oh, this idea just gave me a bunch of other ideas. Like what if instead of will and the reader having feelings for one another, it was a combined effort from the murder husbands (after the doctor consumed will's thoughts and affections) that finally made you get into a relationship with both. Perhaps will has feelings for you (one sided) as he struggles to find a clutch to normality when his mental state deteriorates, and Hannibal exploits this—making will take action but also try to squeeze himself into that picture. And you, while spending time with hannibal and will, are conditioned to return their affections (like we saw hannibal do to will through touches and understanding.) Ahhh, the possibilities are endless.

You, Me and Him

pairing: murder husbands x male reader tags: you don't like will or hannibal (romantically), but the murder husbands have a way of convincing you otherwise, heavy manipulation, will falls first, hannibal falls second, you are blind, ignoring obvious red flags, but it's will and hannibal so...

Will Graham had never been the best at deciphering his own heart. That was the ironic truth of a man whose empathy allowed him to unravel the psyches of murderers. Yet when it came to you, the one person he viewed as a tether to normalcy, every feeling became painfully tangled. He needed you close—needed your steadiness, your uncomplicated presence—to keep his head above water when the horrors of his job threatened to devour him. But you were a friend, so clearly uninterested in him romantically (much less men in general, Will believed) that he kept his longing chained behind carefully guarded walls. For a long time, watching from the sidelines, enjoying your companionship in even the smallest measures, was enough.

When he stepped into Dr. Hannibal Lecter’s office for therapy, his conflicting emotions became one of many topics he reluctantly confided. At first, Will was hesitant to talk about you. He loathed the idea of Hannibal’s clinical eyes dissecting the one pure comfort in his life. But Hannibal had a way of drawing secrets out as though they were confessions whispered in the dark—gentle, unassuming, yet invasive all the same.

From their first sessions, Hannibal gleaned that Will’s focus on you had reached near-obsessive levels. Whenever your name came up, Will’s eyes lit with equal parts tenderness and desperation. The doctor took it all in. He listened, encouraged, dissected Will’s words with calm curiosity. Whenever Will voiced his fear that his longing for you could drive him off the edge, Hannibal consoled him: “It isn’t a crime to desire closeness, Will,” he would say, voice low and soothing. “If anything, a connection to someone good might ground you. Keep you from unraveling.”

And as Will flinched under the weight of his guilt—he wanted you, but he felt wrong for it—Hannibal delivered subtle reassurances: “Why deny yourself a chance at happiness? You are no monster for wishing to be near him.”

Over time, Hannibal made a space for himself in Will’s life. The patient-doctor relationship merged into a twisted friendship, with Hannibal stepping further and further into Will’s personal sphere. Will was slow to grasp the transformation, perceiving Hannibal’s presence as comforting at first. Someone who understood him deeply, without flinching from the darkness within.

As Hannibal’s influence grew, so did his interest in you. Your involvement with Will—your genuine, unjaded nature—captured Hannibal’s attention. It wasn’t long before he decided he wanted you, too, if only to keep Will’s new bond firmly intact. The idea of shaping your perception—of orchestrating a scenario where the three of you formed an exclusive, unbreakable circle—was alluring.

He carefully watched the interactions between you and Will, noting each time your eyes flickered with concern for Will’s mental state. Each time you offered him a patient smile or a comforting word. In Hannibal’s mind, you were both prime for gentle, consistent manipulation—Will, desperate for your acceptance, and you, yearning to maintain his well-being without suspecting the deeper motives beneath your kindness.

Hannibal began planting seeds during casual dinners. He’d invite you over, always ensuring Will was present, then guide the conversation: “I see such relief in Will when you’re around,” Hannibal would say, touching on your care for Will’s shaky mental state. You, flattered and a bit concerned, would look to Will—who merely wore a half-smile, eyes shadowed but hopeful. These moments didn’t feel unnatural—Hannibal excelled at making them seem perfectly ordinary. Yet each small gesture and pointed remark primed you for what would follow.

Meanwhile, Will was unraveling under Hannibal’s subtle coaxing. He spent nights twisting and turning in his sheets, dreaming of you standing in the sunlight of his dilapidated front porch, the only bright thing in his life. He hated the ache that throbbed in his chest whenever you weren’t near. Hated how, beneath that longing, lived an unsettling willingness to do almost anything to keep you from leaving him behind. Hannibal noticed. And time and time again, he whispered that it was only natural—only right—to keep close what one cherished. Why shouldn’t Will stake a claim on the happiness he deserved?

So it happened one evening after you helped Will through a particularly vicious nightmare. You’d come by late, responding to his shaky phone call. You found him hunched on the edge of his bed, cold sweat on his brow, terror in his eyes. You soothed him as best you could, offering words of comfort and an embrace that felt wholly innocent to you.

But to Will, it was everything.

As you tucked the blanket around him, whispering that it was going to be okay, he lifted his gaze, tears lining his eyes. You’d never seen him so raw, so open—an unspoken plea shining on his face. Before you could question the emotion behind his stare, Will leaned forward and pressed his lips to yours.

You froze. That moment stretched, your mind racing in startled confusion. You’d never considered that Will might want you in that way. You stayed tense, uncertain, before you gently pulled back. Will’s eyes flashed with immediate regret, anguish coloring his cheeks crimson. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, voice trembling. “I—I didn’t mean—” But he did mean it. You could see it plainly. He meant every second of it.

You managed a quiet, shaky reassurance, “It’s…it’s okay,” even though you felt the distant echo of something too big to process, a boundary abruptly torn open. Will’s need, so potent, made the air feel oppressive. Confused and reeling, you left with a promise to text him later—an effort to keep things calm, to not break him further.

Hannibal found out about Will’s impulsive kiss—Will couldn’t hide it, not with the guilt and mixed desperation etched on his face. Yet the doctor didn’t scold him. Instead, Hannibal allowed a knowing look to pass between them. He recognized this was precisely the kind of bold step that would push you closer to their collective snare.

In the following days, Hannibal carefully orchestrated his own moment. He sensed your unease—your confusion about what had happened with Will—so he extended an invitation for “conversation and clarity.” He offered his home as a safe space to untangle your worries. You accepted, too relieved to have a calm voice of reason to notice the mild triumphant glint in his eyes.

Inside Hannibal’s tastefully refined dining room, you found yourself revealing the tension you’d been carrying since that night. How you felt torn between concern for Will and your own ambivalence—perhaps even fear. Hannibal listened, nodding, never once shaming you for your uncertainty.

When your breathing became shallow and eyes misted with tears you didn’t know were there, Hannibal placed a hand over yours on the table. His voice dropped to that gentle register you’d come to associate with absolute safety. “You care for Will deeply,” he intoned, letting his fingers lightly trace your knuckles. “And that’s admirable. But do not discount the possibility that your affections run deeper than you realize.”

“But I—I’m not…” you began, stumbling over the words.

Hannibal smiled then—self-assured, not smug—before he rose from his seat to stand behind you. He reached out, guiding you to stand as well. You followed, both unsettled and lulled by his presence. With careful gentleness, he turned you to face him. “There is no shame,” he said softly, voice thick with something that made your heartbeat stumble, “in discovering new paths of desire.”

You opened your mouth to protest or respond or something. But Hannibal’s palm slid along your jaw, tipping your face up just enough for him to lean in and press a deliberate, lingering kiss to your lips—quieter, more controlled than Will’s had been, yet just as fierce in its own way. Your body tensed again, mind whirling with confusion. The combined weight of Will’s unexpected confession and Hannibal’s assured advance threatened to overwhelm you.

When he pulled back, Hannibal kept his hand on the curve of your jaw, scanning your expression as though memorizing every flicker of emotion. The world felt dizzyingly narrow, your pulse pounding in your ears. A hundred protests died on your tongue because beneath your shock, something about Hannibal’s closeness felt safe, even if you couldn’t explain why.

From that day forward, there was no denying it. Both Will and Hannibal wanted you in a way that went beyond mere friendship. Their dynamic, once centered on doctor-patient formality, now pulsed with an undercurrent of shared intention. They had found common ground—you.

Through hesitant text messages and quiet, orchestrated meetings, you found yourself toggling between Will’s fragile urgency and Hannibal’s guiding confidence. You noticed how Will’s eyes filled with a desperate hope whenever you walked into a room, or how he’d hover near you, afraid to overstep but unable to pull away. How Hannibal’s hand casually came to rest on your arm or shoulder, an anchoring gesture that left your thoughts in disarray. You were never alone long enough to piece together how deliberately they’d closed in around you.

Confusion gnawed at you; you’d never before felt anything resembling romantic desire for men, and yet their combined attention stirred something you weren’t prepared for. Part of you wanted to retreat, to breathe, to figure out who you were without their influences. But each time you tried to put distance between you and them—perhaps a few days’ break—something would happen: Will’s mental state would plummet, or Hannibal would send a carefully crafted message. You’d end up returning to them, guilt and concern driving you.

And bit by bit, their touches became as common as breathing. Their whispers of gratitude, the gentle smiles, the confessions of how precious you were to them—each act chipped away at your hesitation.

Will was the first to proclaim it in words. One night, as you helped him with an anxiety attack, he clutched your hand and said in a broken voice, “I need you. I—I don’t know what I’d do without you. Please stay.” He didn’t elaborate on what “stay” meant—stay the night, stay in his life forever—both, perhaps. The raw fear in his eyes and the ache in his voice made you feel responsible, compelled to soothe him.

Hannibal, in his quieter moments, would tell you over a shared dinner, “You are a calming harbor in a tumultuous sea,” even as his eyes glinted with an intensity that suggested something far beyond simple appreciation. “I wouldn’t see Will as he is now if it weren’t for you,” he’d add, implying a joint responsibility—one that seemed to unite you, Will, and himself.

It was a carefully orchestrated dance: you, feeling the weight of Will’s fragile psyche; Will, obsessed with maintaining your presence; and Hannibal, the puppet master pulling subtle strings, pushing you further into their shared darkness. By the time you realized the full extent of their devotion, you were already too entangled to easily escape. You found yourself flitting between a swirling confusion of your identity—were you truly opening up to their love, or were you merely shaped to believe it was inevitable?

In Hannibal’s grand design, forging a bond with Will was only half the story. With Will’s acceptance of his own darker impulses—fanned by Hannibal’s influence—the good doctor finally had a partner who could see the world more like he did, unrestrained by common morality. All that was missing from their perspective was you, an untainted counterpart they felt made them complete.

Your presence served as a reminder of normalcy that Will desperately needed, and as a new challenge that Hannibal found irresistible. When the two of them decided to claim you, it was less a spontaneous decision and more the product of Hannibal’s unwavering manipulations combined with Will’s deep-seated fixation.

They became your support system, your protectors, and, unwittingly to you, your manipulators. They smoothed over every apprehension with heartfelt declarations or a soft, well-timed touch. Each gesture was designed to break down any lingering resistance, any chance you might realize this path wasn’t your choice at all.

In the end, there was a weary sort of acceptance in your gaze. A flicker of longing for them—two men who craved you to the point of madness—and a quieter flicker of doubt that you couldn’t quite extinguish. If it ever threatened to surface, one of them would appear at your side, holding you close until that doubt dissolved under the intensity of their love and need. And that’s how you found yourself in a situation you would never have predicted: caught between Will Graham’s trembling devotion and Hannibal Lecter’s calculated passion. One man who feared losing you almost more than he feared himself, and another who viewed both you and Will as beautiful pieces in his private masterpiece.

Tommy Miller X gn!reader

Series Masterlist : TLOU Masterlist :

Taglist (information on my tagging catagories, so if you just want tommy you can!)

Summary: You are in a depressive episode, and not eating. Tommy is determined to get you to eat.

Warnings: Extremely depressed and anxious reader. Not eating due to appetite loss, not necessarily and ED but you can do what you will with that. Mentions of reader being a danger to themselves enough that they cant be alone.

A/N: So anti mlm (multi-level-marketing) is a niche interest of mine and I make a joke here. for context, MLM can mean multi level marketing or man loving man depending on the context.

Divider by @cafekitsune

"C'mon baby, you gotta eat something. We can get whatever you want."

You shrug, watching Bobs Burgers. The bed was pilled up with stuffies and pillows and blankets, fidgets and coloring sheets and books all over the bed. It was a mess, but as you struggled during a deep depressive episode, Tommy got you whatever you needed. He was a good husband.

Things had been... Bad lately. Bad enough Tommy had been taking time off work, or working oppiset shifts as Joel so Joel could come over and keep an eye. Neither wanted you alone for very long. Tommy even hovered outside the bathroom when you showered. He had a key to the door somewhere too.

You didn't plan on doing anything; but honestly a lot of it was just that you work too tired. Hurting yourself took effort you didn't have.

Instead, you laid in bed all day rotting.

"We'll uber eats whatever you want. You want some texas Roadhouse?" You loved texas roadhouse. You shook your head.

"OOOOh maybe some charlys? get you a philly cheesesteak? That'd be good, get some veggies?" Another shake.

You watched Bob get a turkey for the 100th time. 'I'm... mostly straight?' made you chuckle. Tommy leaned over you, probably unsure if you were laughing or about to cry. Had to check.

"Olive Garden? I know you want some chicken alfredo..." He playfull poked your shoulder, but your previous joy from bisexual icon Bob Belcher was gone, and you used all your energy to jerk your shoulder away.

"Tommy, if you ask me one more goddamn question, I swear to god I will start screaming."

Your words hung in the air. It wasn't like you to lash out. You and Tommy weren't the kind of couple to fight and nitpick, you didn't make snide remarks. You didn't like who you became when you got like this. Tommy didn't deserve it.

"I'm sorry." You mumble.

"It's okay. I get it."

But he doesn't, does he? he can't get it. Because Tommy didn't talk to you like that. Tommy wasn't mean, didn't have a mean bone in his body. You were broken.

"Baby." You hear shuffling and the bed moving as Tommy gets under the covers with you, comforter tucked under his chin. When you roll over, he reminds you of a catipillar. "You haven't even since yesterday moring."

"Yes I have-"

"Iced coffee isn't a meal."

That earned him a weak smile. He continued. "Is there anything at all you're craving."

You think on it. "Yeah, but I can't have it."

"What is it?"

"A sandwhich I used to get at my dining hall." You got a little more hungry just thinking about it. "It was like, like a patty melt but with a black bean burger, pepper jack cheese, mushrooms, onions, and a side of this special sauce... i dunno what it was, it was a secret recipe type thing. Tasted like the sauce from Raising Canes though..." Before Tommy could open his mouth, you nuzzled your face into his comforter covered chest. "I'm tired..." you said as if it was something new. "Not hungry. I'm gonna take a nap"

You been sleeping all day, but even though his arms were tucked into the blanket he leaned over to kiss your head.

*

"Rest. I'll be here."

Tommy didn't know what to do. The one thing you wanted to eat in days and he couldn't get it; you had gone to college far away. Tommy wasn't a good cook, either. Once he was sure you were alseep, he pulled out his phone.

"Brother, how are your cooking skills"

Then he set an order in instacart.

Joel arrived shortly after the instacart did, and Tommy snuck away from you. He like dholding you while you slept, knowing there was at least some reprieve for you. Some rest.

As he unpacked, Joel let himself in. "How are they?"

"Not good. Sleeping right now though. Gotta be quiet, I cracked the door open." He didn't like leaving you alone for long.

Tommy Miller could make a grilled cheese. It wouldn't be great but he could do it. He could also, theoretically, make the other parts but he wasn't going to risk it. Joel, having a daughter, knew how to cook. He had picked up Raising Canes and put the chicken in the fridge. Maybe you'd eat that later if he was lucky, but mostly what they wanted was the sauce.

"So first, we're gonna carmelize the onions" Joel had helped himself to a flowery apron in the drawer., and was peeling the onion.

"That takes what, 5 minutes? ten?"

Joel sighed loudly. "We got a lot to learn."

*

You woke to the smell of cooking. "Tommy?" He was making himself dinner, maybe you could force a bite or two.

Tommy was came in. "Hey baby, feeling rested?" You shrugged. No matter how long you sleep, it never felt like enough. "I heard the doorbell. Whose here?"

"Uh, just an Amway pyramid scheme salesman"

"Oh. Did you tell them to watch Isabella Lanter's video?"

"Yeah, gave him the spiel. No MLM's in our house"

"Except for men loving men." A hint of humor played on your tired face.

Tommy smiled at that. It was nice to see you be a little more yourself.

Back in the kitchen, Joel made Tommy grilled the actually patty melt. Said it'd be good for him to learn how to not burn bread. Joel showed him he's supposed to cover the pan to make the cheese melt faster without burning the bread. The more you know.

Finally, he had it all plated, with Cane's sauce on the side.

"Thanks Joel..." He looked at the food. Hopefully you ate it, it'd been so long since you had real food in you. The last thing you ate was reeses puffs. Not even with milk.

Joel gave him a sympathetic smile.

*

You're watching Archer now. It's always H. Jon Benjamin, isn't it?

"I dunno how that show can be comforting" Tommy's voice behind you as he enters the room. "Everyone yell'n at each other"

You shrug. "One of my favorites."

"Can you sit up? I got someth'n for yuh."

You tense a bit. You weren't sure how much you could eat but you wanted to try for Tommy. You struggle to sit up. When Tommy sets the plate on your lap, your jaw drops.

"Tommy! What is this?"

Tommy carefully gets into bed with you. He also made you a smoothie, no doubt with spinach blended in and protein powder. If nothing else, get some vitamins in you that way.

"Th-the sauce?"

"Raising Canes. Joel came over, helped me cook. Never caramelized onions in my life, but, uh... here we are."

Tear pricked at your eyes, your lips quivering a bit, but you didn't cry. It looked so fucking good.

"I dunno know I did to deserve you, Tommy..."

He kissed your cheek. "It ain't nothing. Do you think you can eat it? A few bites?"

You ate the whole thing

Both Heaven and Hell use human souls as currency and power. Heaven traps human souls in little personal dream-prisons so they remain content and complacent (like Michael did to Dean in his mind) so Heaven can then harness their soul power to "keep the lights on" in Heaven's offices and for angels to derive their power from.

Angel grace production is dependent on an angel's connection to the Heavenly Host. When they are cut off their grace becomes less potent and reproduction diminishes. When they are within the fold of Heaven, they are at full power. Hence why Cas's powers continue to diminish over time, even after his grace is "restored."

Later seasons muddles this lore when Naomi suggests that the diminished number of angels is the reason Heaven is barely keeping the lights on. A possible theory to bridge the gap between these varying lores, is that angels are a necessary conduit to "process" the raw soul energy into energy that can be used for maintaining Heaven. So, the more angels there are in Heaven, the more soul-energy that can be processed and converted into "grace" and other Heaven-supporting power. Now that there are few angels left, they can't keep up with the energy demands of Heaven. They have all those souls in cages, ready for processing, but not enough angels to do the processing.

Hell, on the other hand, uses human souls to create workers to continue to fuel Hell and propagate Hell's missions on Earth. Souls go to Hell to be tortured and transformed into demons. Hell doesn't have to worry about diminishing numbers because they can always make more demons. Making more demons is easy! It's a renewable resource. Unlike angels, which seems to be largely finite. (More angels could be theoretically created, as we see Jack attempt to do under Duma's guidance, but its methods are dubious and results unstable).

But Hell? Hell uses demons to make more demons. Both through the torture of souls and through the use of deals. Deals are how they draw in new meat. It's kind of MLM vibes. Demon mentors other demons. Those demons go out and make "sales" and draw in new souls to become demons. There are quotas. Analytics. Reports and performance reviews.

And Hell originated with Lucifer -- angel. Humans (souls) have always been a commodity to angels. The whole reason for the apocalypse WAS to cause death and destruction. The so-called "paradise" would be for the angels. Think of all the souls they could reap in the fallout of Lucifer and Michael's battle? All that power ripe for the taking?

It's also why Cas goes for the Purgatory souls when he needs power to defeat Raphael (many monsters were once human, so their souls function similarly). And it's why a soul-bomb could potentially kill a cosmic being like Amara (concentrated energy like that would be nuke-levels). It's why both Heaven and Hell hate hunters like the Winchesters for meddling and messing with their plans and not following so-called "fate", for choosing free will, thwarting apocalypses, saving those human souls from deaths where they could have become commodities for Heaven and Hell.

Heaven and Hell, while seemingly opposites, work in-tandem to keep humans on Earth subjugated. Heaven just has better "PR" as they say. But angels are not "the Good Guys" to Hell's "Bad Guys." And they both function similarly when it comes to their use of human souls.

the hobbit (thorin) hot takes, pt.2

height difference: you all love height differences, apparently, and that's great because canonically, Thorin's like 160cm and Bilbo's about 125cm. this means that Bilbo's about two heads shorter than Thorin, which is already a lot - at least in my humble opinion - so why exaggerate it? it just furthers the image of Bilbo being bean sized (which ig if you like is alright).

fanbase: i'm aware that it's mostly women carrying this fanbase and thirsting over Richard Armitage which, on one hand, is great, you go, you're the ones keeping this fandom alive. on the other hand, it feels so invalidating to have the term "yaoi" shoved in my face, constantly, and i find myself wondering if i even belong in a fandom like this, if i even like fanon bagginshield and all things connected, or rather, allowed to like it without putting myself on the same level as cishet women living out their mlm fetishizing fantasies - tbf this is just my impression, not fandom reality, idk what it's actually like as i'm not an active part; feel free to let me know what your experiences are!

music: i'm a huge fan of the way this fandom treats the company, as unlike the movies you actually care about them as individuals! but we're all forgetting one very important bit, their musical talents!!! hello! show me Thorin with his godforsaken harp please i beg you why was this not in the movies i'm punching a wall rn - it's already great that they're all singing and stuff but giving each of them their own instrument, really elevates their talents and own dwarvish understanding of art

intelligence: Thorin's not stupid, alright, he's intelligent and knowledgeable, he's tactical, yet he's got an emotional and proud side as well. i like the trope "stupid with love" and him being kind of clumsy around Bilbo but it shouldn't be the norm! do him justice, come on, show Bilbo admiring his wit or whatever, that's even better. again, i see them as equals on most grounds, it's not just Bilbo who's smart. (although they might be different kinds of smart, making them more compatible)

original design: it's common knowledge that the line of Durin looks a little different from the rest of the dwarves, and that was always the plan in the production. it was not the plan, for Thorin, Fili and Kili to look so very different from them, as in their original design they had more prosthetics and therefore more dwarvish features. which i was a huge fan of. it literally doesn't make any sense for them to look so polished and human like, when the rest of the company looks like "real" dwarves. i actually despise this Hollywood-ification of everyone, including Bilbo who, again, could have done with a few more pounds!

just to clarify myself here, these are literal non-issues, i still love it here and everything and i'm so happy this fandom is still going strong. i'm just curious if there are other people sharing these thoughts and experiences :)

Leverage is one of my favourite TV shows ever, but I'm finding myself putting off watching the new episodes of Leverage Redemption. I think it's because I go into each one expecting to be let down because Leverage Redemption doesn't feel like Leverage.

The surface level is still there - several of the same characters, pulling of elabourate heists and cons to take down corrupt and powerful bad guys. But it doesn't feel like Leverage in a way that's hard to put my finger on.

Original Leverage I have heard described as "competency porn." The people are the best of the best at what they do. They're not always great at the stuff they don't do - Parker is the greatest thief, but put her in a con with a guy who's flirting with her and she might panic and stab him - but most of the time, we get to see them run rings around the bad guys.

In a lot of the original series, their problems came about because they were too good at their job - Nate does such a good job convincing the mark that Parker is the missing heir that the mark puts out a hit on them, Elliot does so well at the baseball side-role in one con he gets recognised while playing another role on the con, Hardison is so convincing as a jewel thief he gets kidnapped to steal some jewels, etc. When something else goes wrong, it's in a way that feels justified. The rest of the time, we see careful planning and great execution.

But in Leverage Redemption, we don't get to see that competency in action in the same way. 3:01 has them improvising because they ended up in a situation they'd not planned for with no idea what was going on. There's a moment where Harry has to con his way in somewhere, and it entirely happens off screen - we don't get to see his method or how he pulled it off, just a shot of him in a costume that's clearly meant to be a joke but feels like the writer's just brushing the con until the rug so we won't notice that they didn't have a clever way to write that scene. 3:02 has half the episode with them trying to coach an incompetent new character through doing the con. There's also a scene where it looks like Breanna is setting up Elliot's persona as he's walking into the building, instead of ahead of time.

There were other moments in the earlier seasons, like the MLM episode, where Sophie was put on the spot not knowing the company's motivational words when that's such a basic bit of information for the role she's playing that in an original Leverage episode, she would never have been in a position of guessing.

There have been good moments. I really liked the bit in 3:01 where Elliot was handcuffed and watching Hardison fight while giving him advice on how he should have communicated better with Parker.

Hardison: No, I meant for him.

Elliot: Oh, he's gonna whoop your ass.

Only to easily break out of the handcuffs and fight as soon as Hardison was in real danger.

That was fun. That felt like something that might have been in the original show. But those moments are surrounded by a sea of meh.

I probably will watch the rest of season 3, but it hurts to see something I loved become something that's merely okay.

[demadogs]

Why byler? Is my question what is it about them that’s so popular

ooo this is a fun one. im assuming you may be one of my newer followers who didnt follow me when i was in the byler trenches. welcome. let me explain.

i think probably the biggest reason people gravitate towards byler is that its extremely fun for people who love film analysis because most of us genuinely believe it will happen in s5. for me specifically, this is the entire reason im here. i first started liking byler when s2 came out but it was casual. i just thought they'd be cute together. once s3 came out and i saw someone point out that mike was framed perfectly in a closet, that was my turning point. thats when i got insane about them because i actually believed its where they were headed.

its always fun to ship your favorite characters and engage in fanfics and fanart, but when theres a genuine belief that this is the direction the story is actually going in, its just a completely different experience. its a whole other world. its no longer about the characters themselves anymore. its about the cinematography, the props, the color palettes, the music choices, the blocking, the lighting. all of these things and more have provided evidence for why we believe byler will be endgame. its the perfect ship for people who are really passionate about filmmaking as a whole. 

many of us, including myself, got our degrees in film or have a background in filmmaking. ive made my own films and i plan to make more. one of them was screened at a festival. ive written academic papers on shows and movies. i've taken college film classes where my professors talked about stranger things. im a professional photographer which coincides a lot with film. i have this blog to talk about my favorite fictional media online. every time i watch something new i read long analyses on the media. if they dont exist, i write them myself and post them here. i love talking about and learning about and watching cinema on a much deeper level than someone who just throws on a show when theyre bored. so watching two complex characters not only have romantic tension in their actions and dialogue alone, but also have enough depth to analyze the practical filmmaking choices that prove they are going to end up together…. well its like fucking cocaine to me.

another reason is that mike wheeler, in my opinion, has the potential to have some of the most well written internalized homophobia ever. and i think he differs greatly from a lot of other characters with internalized homophobia because the writers have had the patience to not fully confirm his sexuality until the final season. many other queer characters who struggle with their sexuality come to terms with it over the course of one season or less. or they write it with dramatic irony so the audience is always well aware they are queer from the getgo, even if the character doesnt know yet. while theres nothing inherently wrong with any of these choices, i think having a more outside perspective on internalized homophobia and having that perspective be told slowly will make for a much more authentic and powerful queer coming of age story. i think all of mikes flaws and animosity towards both will and el will pay off so much once we know what hes been going through. i believe this character actually has the potential to reach people who arent accepting of the queer community right now.

byler also just resonates with the queer community so much. a lot of queer ships, especially mlm ships, are dominated by straight women, sometimes to the point where the ship doesn't even feel like its a part of queer culture anymore. its just nice to have a gay ship that feels like its for gay people. and as much as i love a really well written tragedy, its also nice that we can see a happy ending so clearly.

in short, its just fun. the whole "will they/wont they" element is fun as hell. ive never had that with a ship before. i tend to lean towards slow burns that i know will be canon (snowbaz <3) or tragedies that are so gut wrenching i dont even WISH they got together (jackieshauna <333) byler however just speaks to my film loving soul on such a deep level. its perfect for me. its so fun to analyze and read other people's analyses. i cant wait to see how it unfolds in s5.

[turtonsteroids]

Always on TikTok I am seeing Ruikasa content and I feel like so much of the fandom focuses on them especially and also Toya and Akito and like I've got no problems with those ships but there's so much canon content for the wlw ships that always get pushed aside cuz everyone likes the mlm ships I could go on a whole rant about that but ANYWAYS I saw Ruikasa tragic yaoi so I was like "Oh yeah? How bout MMJ?? The other seemingly joyous and happy go lucky band, lemme fuck THEM up!"

And so I present to you Minoharu: Obsession AU. The premise is a little rough but the idea is that in Minori's lifelong Haruka obsession she did something as a middle schooler that crossed the line into creepy fan behavior, something like writing Haruka x reader fanfic, making some post about having intense romantic feelings for Haruka prior to knowing her, making some kind of content that was clearly imagining herself in a romantic relationship with Haruka. Which, by band fandom standards is pretty standard, so she didn't see a problem with it as a middle schooler and, by the time she met and became close with Haruka, she either forgot it existed or just didn't think Haruka would ever find it (ALTERNATIVE IDEA: Minori kept posting on a blog or smth about her obsession with Haruka even after MMJ was formed and her content continually got more and more detailed and concerning as they became closer and it's like terrifying levels of obsession.) But anyways, Haruka finds Minori's obsession content probably via someone else showing her or it being posted on social media where Haruka stumbled upon it. Minori is either texted or told in person by a classmate, Shizuku or Airi that someone posted something claiming it was her obsessing over Haruka. And then Minori panics, finds Haruka immediately and tries to explain herself (if it's something she hasn't touched since middle school, then she has an actual excuse and a chance to not lose Haruka, but if the blog is still going then she goes in without a plan and is just thinking on the spot and it's made perfectly clear that she is deeply deeply obsessed with Haruka.) That's where the above images come in, Minori tries to explain herself but Haruka is totally in shock and Shizuki and Airi side with her and they cut their ties with Minori very quickly.

What happens next is TBD, but some fucked up shit would happen to the Sekai probably, like the structures would start falling apart and if we really wanna be evil about it, the Virtual Singers could be affected too (like they get sick, the deterioration of the Sekai physically injures them, they start fading away/disappearing, they start losing their minds.) It would also be terrible (/pos) if Minori holed herself up in the Sekai and goes totally missing from the real world and spends every minute of her time trying to create a performance to convince Haruka to come back. She could also kinda turn the Virtual Singers into sl@ves and include them in her big plan to win Haruka over and they're like all totally miserable and do not want to fuel Minori's obsession but they get dragged into it anyways cuz if Minori gets upset the Sekai could break down even more and could kill all of them so they just gotta go along with her big (very clearly doomed and futile) plan.
