[EVENTS UPDATES ROUND-UP!!!]

🌟✨ HELLOOO MY LOVES!! ✨🌟

Time for a little Rivendell Council Update™ 🧸💌 because I have SO much to share with you about our upcoming events!!

First of all — thank you again for all the love, ideas, support, and chaotic good energy you’ve been sending my way 🥹💖 I’m seriously so touched!!!!

Starting tomorrow (Monday, April 28th!), I’ll start posting some little propositions for Cozy Cuddles Week! Like prompts propositions, cards, cute bonus ideas, all the soft vibes! So if you’re excited, stay tuned! 🫶✨

Cozy Cuddles Week will officially run from May 12th to May 18th (both dates included)!

It’s going to be all about the warm, soft, snuggly vibes — family, friends, lovers, found family — anyone you want to cuddle in your heart and your writing/art! 🛋️☕🐾

And yes, thanks to the sweet feedback from the comments: it’s going to be TROP and wider LOTR-verse! Movies, books, Hobbit, Silmarillion stans etc — come on in!!

Maybe I'll also post polls to see and check if you peeps would like some characters/pairings wheels like I have prepared for Spice Week as well!!

After lots of DMs, comments, and sweet nudges, we officially have the dates for Spicy Week! 🍒🖤

Mark your calendars: June 16th - June 26th! (Both dates included!)

TEN DAYS OF SPICE!!!

No poll this time because it was pretty clear from all your messages/feedback that this was a favorite — and honestly, it feels like the perfect cozy breathing space after Cozy Cuddles Week 🧸💌 (we gotta recharge our batteries before setting everything on fire, right? 😂).

And a little heads-up for Spicy Week planning & guidelines: I’m currently chatting with people, reaching out, and finalizing the guidelines so everything will be clear and comfy for everyone! 🤝✨ The major points (like no SA, no non-con, no abuse, no violence, etc) have already been laid out, but I’m just making sure every little detail is sorted so we can have the smoothest, safest event possible!!

Also, for the event itself, there will be two collections! 📚 → One anonymous collection (for those who prefer a little privacy or aren't comfy posting under their name!) → And one public collection with visible pseuds for anyone who wants to share openly!

We’re building this with love, kindness, and a LOT of excitement!! Thank you for trusting me with this 💖

🦇 Ink Blood Sister Scribe Book Review 🦇

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

❓ #QOTD What's the most valuable (to you, not monetarily) book in your collection? ❓

[ Find my review below or on Goodreads | Storygraph | Literal ]

🦇 Two estranged half-sisters guard their family's library of magical books, all while staying continents apart. Working together, Joanna and Esther Kalotay unravel the deadly secret that led to their father's demise. The ancient and rare books he collected aren't simply page and ink. They're true page--books with the power to manipulate the elements, bend realty, or cater the world to a person's bidding. The world of magic contained in these books is far more dangerous than they ever imaged. Can they unlock the secrets their parents have long kept hidden...and perhaps uncover a true magical library in the process?

💜 Okay, so...WOAH. I think, perhaps, this was the strongest, most powerful debut I've read (maybe ever) -- and I've read a library's worth of debuts. It's no wonder this book was nominated for not one, but two Goodreads Choice Awards (Best Fantasy and Best Debut). To be honest, I sat on this review longer than intended; I'm struggling to find my words here. The prose is enthralling, as magical as the books mentioned within. Törzs has seamlessly bound thriller, dark academia, and fantasy together with a raw, realistic cast of characters. The cryptic plot and half-explained world (as the Kalotay sisters barely understand it all themselves) ensnares you from the first page. This book is spellbinding, almost dizzying; a dozen little secrets, waiting to be revealed. The story itself is multilayered but still woven with care; no one element or point of view eclipses the other.

💜 There are familiar fairytale elements that make the story's magic easier to perceive (magic mirrors, a quest, absent parents, a secretive wicked stepmother). Instead of witches and magic wands, the story relies on a powerful source we have in the real world: WORDS. The mythology is careful and precise, and though much of it remains secretive at first, each piece is eventually revealed. The writing style is contemporary, easy to understand, yet the voice is uniquely Törzs' in a way that makes me eager for her next book. There are many themes to explore, too; found family, isolation, the power of books. Törzs took the metaphor "the pen is mightier than the sword" literally, demonstrating there's magic and power all around us. I'll enjoy escaping into this world once more. Added bonus: a sapphic ship and well-executed disability representation.

🦇 Stepping into this world is a little jarring at first. While everything is eventually revealed, you have to let the story carry you for a few chapters before you gain your footing. This is a book that's definitely more enjoyable the second time around. I do think you need to read this book at the right time (I wasn't completely in the right headspace when I started, not that I'll allow that to impact my review).

🦇 I'm afraid to say that the Big Bad and major reveal were obvious, though perhaps they were intended to be. The story isn't about defeating a monster as much as it's about the connections made during that journey. The found family (and, for the sisters, reunited) vibes of this story hold its true power.

🦇 Recommended for fans of The Night Circus.

✨ The Vibes ✨ 🩸 Debut 📚 Magical Books 🩸 Sisterhood / Family Secrets 📚 Multiple POVs 🩸 Murder Mystery 📚 Slow Burn Romance 🩸 Dark Academia -esque 📚 Magical Realism

💬 Quotes ❝ The path provides the natural next step. ❞ ❝ I always thought it suggested, on some palindromic level, that it’s the steps themselves that make a path, instead of the other way round. We are creating even as we believe we are following. ❞ ❝ “The Library holds power,” said Maram. “And power is always a reflection of the world that has created it, regardless of intention.” ❞

Today, I’ve rounded up some of the coziest bookish finds on Amazon to help transform your reading space into the ultimate sanctuary. Let’s dive in! Naturally, this post contains affiliate links.

1. A Chunky Knit Blanket to Keep You Warm and Stylish 🧶

There’s something about a chunky knit blanket that feels like a warm hug. Not only are they ridiculously cozy, but they also add major aesthetic points to your reading nook. Pro tip: pair it with a hot beverage for maximum coziness. I particularity like this one because it goes up to a whopping 80 x 90 inches. Most blankets these days are on the smaller side.

🛒 Snag one here: Chunky Knit Blanket @ Amazon

2. A Candle That Smells Like an Old Library 🕯️

Yes, you can bottle up the smell of old books! (Well, sort of.) A library-scented candle is perfect for those rainy days when you want to transport yourself to a magical study, complete with stacks of dusty tomes.

🛒 Shop it here: Old Books Candle @ Amazon

3. Bookish Throw Pillows for All the Vibes 🛋️

Imagine this: you’re snuggled up in your favorite chair, leaning against a pillow that says, “There's no such thing as too many books.” Sounds like a dream, right? Bookish throw pillows are the ultimate decor for cozy vibes. These two I absolutely love are covers, rather than the whole pillow.

4. A Reading Journal to Track Your Adventures 📓

Every reader needs a place to keep track of their literary journeys. A cute reading journal is perfect for jotting down your favorite quotes, thoughts, or even your never-ending TBR list. Bonus: It’s as satisfying as checking off boxes in a planner. I just love planners and journals and various unique books for writing, so this is one of my must haves for every year.

🛒 Grab yours here: Reading Journal @ Amazon

5. A Mug Warmer for the Slow Sippers ☕

Let’s be honest—reading often makes us forget about our tea or coffee until it’s stone cold. A mug warmer is the perfect solution for keeping your drink warm while you are on the edge of your seat turning pages and forgetting the world around you.

🛒 Grab yours here: Adorable Mug Warmer @ Amazon

Complete Guide to Bullish Engulfing Candlestick: Spot and Trade Like a Pro

If you've ever stared at a candlestick chart wondering when the trend is about to flip — this guide is for you. The bullish engulfing candlestick pattern is one of the most powerful reversal signals used by price action traders. But how do you spot it correctly? And more importantly, how do you trade it without falling into false signals?

Let’s break it down, without fluff.

What Exactly Is a Bullish Engulfing Candlestick Pattern?

At its core, a bullish engulfing pattern is a two-candle formation that signals a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.

The first candle is bearish (red), showing sellers are in control.

The second candle is bullish (green), and it completely engulfs the body of the first candle.

This sudden reversal indicates a shift in momentum — buyers have overpowered sellers.

📚 Introduced to Western markets by Steve Nison (author of “Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques”).

🧠 Thomas Bulkowski’s research shows the bullish engulfing pattern has a success rate of around 63% in bull markets. (Source: ThePatternSite.com)

How to Identify a Bullish Engulfing Pattern Like a Chart Pro

Not every engulfing candle is worth trading. To avoid false positives, check these conditions:

✅ 1. Appears After a Downtrend

This pattern is a reversal signal. If the market is already trending up or sideways, it’s meaningless.

✅ 2. The Green Candle Must Fully Cover the Red

The body of the bullish candle should engulf the previous red candle — wicks don’t matter.

✅ 3. Volume Confirmation

Look for increased volume on the bullish candle. It signals genuine buyer interest.

✅ 4. Key Support Zone

Patterns near support levels, Fibonacci retracements, or round numbers carry more weight.

💡 Use charting tools like Strike Money, TradingView to spot and validate these setups.

Why Bullish Engulfing is More Than Just a Visual Pattern

You’re not just seeing candles; you're reading the psychology of the market.

Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

Bears dominate the market (red candle).

Buyers step in aggressively and completely absorb the selling pressure.

It’s not just a pattern — it’s a battle won by the bulls.

🧠 According to Investopedia, bullish engulfing candles are most accurate when paired with volume spikes and confirmed by technical indicators like RSI or MACD.

Real-World Example: Bullish Engulfing in Indian Markets

Let’s look at how this played out in Tata Motors (NSE: TATAMOTORS):

📅 Date: 18th April 2023 🔻 Prior Trend: 2-week downtrend 📈 Signal: A bullish engulfing formed near ₹410 (a previous support) 📊 Volume: Spiked 35% above 20-day average ✅ RSI was below 40 (oversold zone)

Outcome: Stock rallied to ₹475 in 10 trading sessions — a 15% move.

Use Strike Money’s charting tools to zoom in on such price action in Indian stocks — Nifty 50, BankNifty, or even midcaps.

How to Trade Bullish Engulfing Patterns (With Rules That Actually Work)

Spotting is one thing. Executing correctly is everything.

📍 Entry Point

Enter above the high of the bullish candle (preferably on confirmation by next candle).

🛑 Stop Loss

Set it just below the low of the engulfing candle.

🎯 Target

Look for previous resistance zones, Fibonacci levels, or a 1.5–2x risk/reward.

🧠 Bonus Tip:

Combine with indicators like:

RSI < 40 (oversold confirmation)

MACD crossover

50/200 EMA bounce

🔧 Tools: Strike Money, MetaTrader 5, TradingView

Don’t Make These Mistakes with Bullish Engulfing Patterns

This is where most retail traders fail:

❌ Trading Without Trend Context

The pattern must follow a downtrend. Don’t trade it in sideways or choppy markets.

❌ Ignoring Volume

Low volume = low conviction. Always check volume.

❌ Entering Too Early

Wait for confirmation (next candle should stay above the engulfing high).

❌ Expecting Instant Moves

Give the trade room to play out. Bullish engulfing is a signal, not a guarantee.

Let’s Talk Probability: What Does the Research Say?

According to Thomas Bulkowski’s study in Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns:

Success rate: 63% in bullish markets

Average gain: 6–8% over a few weeks

Most reliable when paired with volume and RSI confirmation

🧠 Pattern works better in higher timeframes — daily > hourly > 5-min.

Real Chart Setups in India: See It to Believe It

Here are two more bullish engulfing patterns from Indian stocks:

📍 Infosys (INFY.NS) – 7th August 2023

Downtrend for 10 days

Bullish engulfing near ₹1275 (support zone)

Volume: 2x normal

RSI: 38 Result: Stock moved to ₹1350 in 5 sessions

�� Bank of Baroda (BANKBARODA.NS) – 2nd Feb 2024

Engulfing formed near major support at ₹168

Strong bounce with MACD crossover Result: ₹182 in 6 days — a clean +8% swing

These are not textbook examples — these are actual trades you could’ve spotted using Strike Money or TradingView charts.

Bullish Engulfing vs Other Patterns: What's Better and When?

Let’s simplify some confusion:

🔄 Bullish Engulfing vs Bearish Engulfing: Opposites. One signals upside reversal, the other downside.

🔨 Bullish Engulfing vs Hammer: Hammer is a single-candle pin-bar; not as strong without confirmation.

🌟 Bullish Engulfing vs Morning Star: Morning Star is a 3-candle formation, often seen with gaps. More reliable but less frequent.

Pro Tip: Use bullish engulfing when it aligns with broader market structure (Nifty trend, sectoral trend).

Best Timeframes to Trade Bullish Engulfing in Indian Stocks

⏱️ The pattern appears across all timeframes, but here’s what works best in India:

Daily Charts: Best for positional traders

4H / 1H: Great for swing traders

15m / 5m: For intraday only if backed by strong volume

📍 For example, if Bank Nifty is in a short-term downtrend, a bullish engulfing on the 15-minute chart near previous day’s low with strong volume could offer a quick 1:2 setup.

Use These Tools to Spot and Backtest Bullish Engulfing Patterns

Here are the best tools used by serious traders:

🔧 Strike Money: India-focused platform, built-in engulfing scanner, volume overlays, indicator support

📈 TradingView: Popular globally, excellent for drawing support/resistance

Use Strike Money to set alerts, create watchlists, and visually confirm bullish engulfing setups in NSE/BSE stocks.

FAQs: What Traders Often Ask About Bullish Engulfing

Q1: Can a bullish engulfing candle fail? Yes. Especially in sideways markets. Always wait for confirmation and combine with other signals.

Q2: Should I trade bullish engulfing without indicators? You can, but success improves dramatically when you use volume + RSI or MACD.

Q3: How reliable is bullish engulfing in Nifty 50 stocks? Quite reliable when near support zones or post pullbacks. Top sectors: Auto, IT, Banks.

Final Thoughts: Should You Add Bullish Engulfing to Your Strategy?

Absolutely — but with rules. The bullish engulfing pattern is not magic, but it is a time-tested signal when used with:

Context (support zones, downtrend)

Confirmation (next candle, volume)

Confluence (RSI, MACD, market sentiment)

Start by testing on a demo or paper trading account, then integrate it into your strategy using platforms like Strike Money.

The Treasure of Legends

Special Chapter: A Temporary Alliance in the Valley

📚 Is that fire out yet?!

🛠 Yes, we put the fire out. The cause for it is most likely having a habanero sauce generator next to a cloth tent in scorching heat outside the Sports Day stadium. Records on Cherry Ball Cookie and Choco Ball Cookie were recovered, but nothing else survived.

📚 Are you kidding me?! All my notes on the itinerary of sports in the vicinity were in that fire! Now all of my records beyond the preliminary rounds are gone! Lost!

🛠 It’s not all bad! You could record on the recent findings in the Dragons Valley- OH!

📚 Hm? Did you find something?

🛠 A mysterious treasure was detected in the vicinity, and it appears that two Cookies by the names of Peperoncino Cookie and Cauliflower Cookie are already en route! I’ll try to recover as much of your data as I can, you tell this blog about the findings!

📚 Wonderful! Now then, viewers! These two Cookies just met in the middle of the Valley, blissfully unaware of the other’s motives but stuck together to explore the region further. What will come of their pursuits? Only time will tell in these first ten stages of another special chapter in Story Mode! Further records detailing stages 11 through 15 will require more verification and will unlock after about 17 days.

📚 For the next month, completing stages, winning stars, and completing bonus missions in this chapter on ANY difficulty will also award a one-time bonus that’s valid for this update alone for each star and mission. After the event ends, that’s it! Any unclaimed prizes will disappear without a trace.

📚 You might be wondering, “What’s in the Coin Chest?” I’m glad you asked. Besides- well- coins, you can find the following in the chests, although some materials might appear in lesser quantities in lower-grade chests on easier difficulties:

Light of Life

Fading Ember (Grade III or higher required)

Crystallized Essence of Night (Grade II or higher required)

Green/Crimson Sugar Crystals (Always drops 2 solid or normal when found)

Orange/Gray Sugar Crystal (Will drop 2 crystals from grade II and I, but only drops 1 from lower grades)

Silver Hammer/Silver Ink (Chests will drop as many as 3 for Grade I, but lower grades will award less)

📚 Like every other chest, these contents are awarded by chance and will not always drop the materials you want. Collecting chests will still be possible even after the event ends!

[kerra-and-company]

A few asks for my favorite purple plamt : 🛏️, 🎲 and 📚 ? :) And bonus round 🤝, 🕐& 🎲 for whoever you want!

So many asks!! :D Thanks so much, let's go!

Kerra:

🛏️ What does your OC’s bed look like? What would they like their bed to look like?

At her home? Definitely around king size minimum, maybe a tiny bit bigger; whatever size of bed would fit three people pretty comfortably! A few blankets, probably not too many unless it's the dead of winter. They have way too many different comforters in different patters but only use, like, three of them on a regular basis. An average amount of pillows--not too many, not zero. It's cozy and is never really fully made like a hotel bed, more just like...halfway there, mostly in order but not trying to be perfect. (And this arrangement is more than fine with Kerra, so :) )

🎲 If your OC played a pen and paper RPG, what class would they pick? Warrior, mage, thief, ranger, cleric, paladin, druid, necromancer, bard (or other, if that’s not enough).

Oooh, good one, hmm...I don't think she'd pick ranger, if only because that's basically what she is anyways, and I think she'd want to try something different. I could see her trying druid, which is along similar lines to her GW2 class but different enough in some ways that she might enjoy playing that. (Also, interestingly enough, my gut reaction was to say that she'd play a paladin, which I think is also a good option--and maybe the one that's most likely.)

📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose?

Travel, if it's in a venue where she can easily and freely make jokes. It'd be good advice tempered with occasional terrible puns, and let everyone know which waypoints are the most practical, and which routes are the best to take. Kerra's been over enough of the world that she'd be very well-versed in all of this, and she'd also love to share. Also, my brain just generated a potential terrible slide title of "The Ups and Downs of Airship Travel", and I don't actually think Kerra would use that one, but there you go xD. And she would not speak favorably of the Consortium.

Bonus questions! I'll give you some GW1 facts for Cal, since they're on my brain at the moment:

🤝 Does your OC have someone they want at their side when they are scared? Who?

Their wife Daisy, hands down. Being in love with someone and also living through an apocalyptic scenario with them (in Cal and Daisy's case, that'd be the Searing--at least, that was the first apocalyptic-adjacent scenario they dealt with) tends to forge that kinda bond.

🕐 Was there ever a time your OC would have given everything to turn back the clock 5 minutes? What happened?

Given everything? Ooh boy. I don't know about everything, but they would have given a whole lot to turn the clock back five minutes when the Searing started. Nothing like entering Ascalon City like you usually do, waving to the kid who hangs out by the gate and thinks you're one of the coolest adults on the planet, and then the world being set on fire immediately after, and the kid nowhere to be found. That's a pretty big one. They carried a lot of guilt about Gwen's disappearance/probable death for years, even though there really wasn't anything they could have done in that moment to change things.

🎲 If your OC played a pen and paper RPG, what class would they pick? Warrior, mage, thief, ranger, cleric, paladin, druid, necromancer, bard (or other, if that’s not enough).

Sorcerer specifically, I think. Cal's a ranger/elementalist (as can be done in GW1's dual class system), and they'd enjoy playing a class with that brand of magic. I could also see them try out playing as a wizard specializing in necromancy, if they felt like trying something new.
