Gods, can I gush about the CGI in the Percy Jackson show for just a minute??

All of it is so fucking good!

The work was gone by ILM or Industrial Light and Magic, who are an incredible effects house and also one of the oldest effects houses there is. ILM was founded in the 1970s by George fucking Lucas to make the effects for the original Star Wars trilogy. They are the reason the original Jurassic Park had CGI in the first place! They worked with Jim Henson on The Dark Crystal and Tobe Hooper on Poltergeist, which has sone crazy awesome effects if you've never seen it. A part of ILM broke off in the 1990s and became fucking PIXAR!!

And Percy Jackson has had just the best looking effects I've seen in a long time. The creature work alone is worth so many awards. The minotaur was amazing.

And the illusion of Chiron is never broken, it's just seamless and perfect.

And don't get me started on Medusa's snakes. They're PERFECT. THEY ACT LIKE REAL SNAKES!!!

And the chimera was beautiful. I loved the decision to give it a cobra's frill.

Also, water is a notoriously difficult effect to do and all the water looks amazing in this show. I bet they pulled some people from the Avatar sequel to help with it.

And Grover's legs never look bad. They're always perfect. I love the decision to keep them exposed the whole time, it adds to the magical feeling of the world while also showcasing how powerful the Mist really is.

And one of my favorite effects HAS to be the way Mrs. Dodds' coat turned into her wings. I saw that and had an out of body experience.

But this most recent episode just blew me away. Specifically with this (these next gifs are by @stevenrogered) :

So, if you didn't know, tracking an effect onto someone's body is incredibly difficult. It's so difficult that CGI artists will often replace someone's body with a 3D model in order to make it easier. That could be what happens here in part, but they can't fake Walker's face.

Props to Walker for sitting as still as humanly possible during this incredibly emotional scene. Him sitting still helps make the tracking of the effect easier since the artists don't have to adjust the effect every frame to account for the slightest movements. Which brings me to the face.

It is so hard to animate human faces and not fall into the uncanny valley, and yes this effect applies to that. Look at the way the gold conforms to the shape of his mouth as he speaks. Look at how it follows the movement of his chin, his cheeks. It's PERFECT. This is an incredibly impressive effect and I wanna just worship whichever overworked and underpaid VFX artist spent hours of their life working on it.

Okay, that's all, rants over, everyone go home!

[femmefatalevibe]

Hiii! I am a new to your page and wants to become more confident to express myself. But do you have any tips for how we highschoolers can add some femme fatale while not acting "too grown"

Hi love! I'm so glad to hear that you're serious about building your confidence and sense of self in high school. Know that this is highly commendable! Anyways, here are some of my tips:

Practice proper posture: Shoulders back, chest up, head held high, back straight.

Learn the power of eye contact and facial expressions: Direct eye contact (held within reason, without staring) communicates confidence. Smile to express an inviting presence to the people who you're socializing with.

Be diligent with your hygiene: Always have your hair, nails, face, and body properly washed and moisturized. Manicured nails and healthy hair demonstrate that you prioritize showing up for yourself.

Consider all-black outfits: A staple leather jacket, satin or silk tops, lace-trimming or cuffs, and well-tailored black pants or jeans or a flowy skirt to emulate Femme fatale energy without looking too risqué for a classroom or a younger teenage age group. Balance any more form-fitting mini skirts with tights and a chunky sweater or a longer coat (like a trench) for a casual elegance that isn't too formal or covered up. Mix and match textures for more intrigue.

Find your signature makeup look: Add some black eyeliner (a thin winged liner and the water line) with some mascara and minimal face makeup to cover any blemishes, under-eye circles, or uneven skin tone. Complete the look with a light wash of blush or bronzer and a neutral lip shade or chapstick for school or the daytime.

Discover and pursue your interests: Don't blindly follow the interests of your peers or your parents' desires. Consider the activities and fields of study that light you up inside and give you energy. Think about the hobbies or industries you could engage in all day and would gladly pursue for free. Join as many clubs, courses, and extracurricular programs as possible in these areas. Read about them, join online communities, and find a mentor (IRL) if possible. Use this time to begin discovering what you want out of life and establishing your own identity.

Give yourself space to explore and own your sexuality: Let go of any shame regarding self-exploration and identity. Your feelings (and pleasure or the confidence you derive from it) are completely normal. Don't allow others' expectations to dictate your choices. Make these decisions for yourself, on your own timeline (and ALWAYS use protection if you decide to engage in partnered sex; birth control is NOT toxic, but not every option works well for everyone). I hope that you have or find someone you trust in your life to discuss these topics with! It's super important.

Remember your life is for YOU: It is normal to feel as though you have to conform to other peoples' expectations of you at this age. And, while they're certain sacrifices you might need to make until (or through early) adulthood, remember that your desired life path is valid and always worth exploring. Choose yourself every time.

Hope this helps xx

Next Chapter

Chapter 1 - Knowing Me, Knowing You

You rolled over on the bathroom floor and mumbled something like ''Aaaaargh!''. You chewed on some dry air and spit it out; opened one eye to see if it really would open; then you opened the other and closed the first; closed the second one, straightened up, opened your eyes again, and stretched. It was a daily practice and this time the only notable thing was that you had a hangover and that it had happened on a Wednesday morning and... 

Yesterday was Monday. 

Well, you knew it was Wednesday. But there was a problem: even though you had no doubt that yesterday was Monday, there was a gap between Monday and now, a gap that should have been filled by Tuesday. If a person falls asleep and lies there all night without dreaming, he is aware, when he wakes up, that time has passed. The person has not done anything that he can remember; he thought of nothing; he has no means of calculating time, and yet he knows that some hours have elapsed. The same happened to you. Tuesday was gone for five hours of last night's sleep. 

But you didn't sleep on Tuesday. No, no. You were pretty sure you were drinking, judging by the bottles of wine strewn about in the hallway. In fact, you never slept more than five hours at a time, and there was no particular reason why you should now. Monday was the day before yesterday; you had gone to bed and slept at your usual hours, then you woke up – and it was Wednesday. 

It felt like Wednesday. It was a Wednesday feeling that hung in the air. 

You put on your coat and got up. You weren't mistaken. You knew what day it was. 

 ''What happened to yesterday?'' You mumbled. ''Oh... Yesterday was Monday.'' 

That was enough until you changed your clothes and showered. 

''Monday.'' You mused, picking up your lab coat. If you were restless enough, you would think about it more. But you weren't. You were comfortable with that, for some reason.

In general, you were a very conformed person, who got into a routine and only got out of it by force. You work as a researcher and archaeologist for an oil company called Speedwagon Foundation, earning $4 an hour; that's why you had been practicing your profession for two years and would continue to practice it if you could find a Tuesday to go back to the laboratory. 

Guided by reflexes, as usual, and without making any mental effort, you ate breakfast and got into your Cadillac Seville. Your father bought this car just after its launch year, but he soon gave it to you as he found public transport and taxis too dangerous. 

In less than fifteen minutes you arrived at the Speedwagon Foundation building. That was one of the dozens that were scattered across the United States. But that particular building, located in a quiet industrial neighborhood in Washington, had a special air on that Wednesday. 

You parked your car, locked it, and pocketed the keys, walking on the cracked cement of the floor while trying not to overbalance in your heels. Though the hangover destroyed you, you still had to maintain the professional, seductive air that seemed to be the only thing keeping your job in this place, according to your boss. 

When entered the building, you greeted all of your co-workers. And there was something there that made you stop and think. 

It was all unfinished. 

The tables were still in place, but the hostess wasn't there. Also, the chairs sharing their usual cushions, the slightly cracked tables, the beige wallpaper with two repeating swans, the tube television in the corner of the break room, and the sloping armchair. But everything was about to be finished. Not that there were holes in anything. The old Robert O. Speedwagon painting was still there. However, there was the smell of old cut wood, a subtle and stubborn air of the environment under construction in the room and objects. It was indefinable, irresistible, and you remained motionless, absorbed and thoughtful. You looked around suspiciously but didn't see anything you could really be suspicious of. Then you shook your head and walked out into the hall. 

On the stairs a four-foot-tall man was delicately scraping the third step from the top with a sharp chisel, making a new scar in the dirty wood. He looked up as you approached and immediately jumped to his feet. 

''Hello.'' You said, looking at the little man's leather coat, his pointed hat, and his small, withered, bright-eyed face. ''What are you doing?'' 

''Fixing.'' He announced. ''Mister Thom has a nail in the sole of his shoe. He came out of the office later on Monday and scratched the wood on this step. The job needs to be done before Wednesday.'' 

''Today is Wednesday.'' You corrected. 

''Of course. Was always. Always will be.'' 

You ignored him and started up the stairs, absentmindedly making sure it wasn't your heels scuffing the wood. You acquired your impressive passivity thanks to your job and the practice of ignoring everything when you couldn't understand. But one thing still bothered you. 

''You said Thom left work late Monday?'' 

''Yes. I saw Miss Louise lock up the lab just before he went downstairs.'' 

''You're crazy, man. Louise has a cold, she's not coming to work this week.'' You scolded him. 

''She's better, she came to work today.'' 

''Stop pranking. And why didn't she come on Monday?'' 

''She came on Monday! I'm sorry, but I have to get back to work. We can't leave anything behind, you know. Tuesday will be over soon and everything should be ready before then.'' 

This guy is really crazy, you thought and smiled without much conviction. You shook your head. Weird morning, that one. It was a good thing you would soon be at the lab, where you kept a sample of an incorrupt body dipped in formaldehyde, ready to be sent for necropsy. After you got your head together, you could forget all that nonsense. That's all that matters to you: work, eat, sleep, and wait for payday. 

 The third floor was busy – but it always had been. Just not in that way -. There were a lot of people, even from other areas, concentrated in Ward 2. That was your ward. Everything was just the way you left it, including the notes on the blackboards and the body parts in formaldehyde. If there was something you didn't know about preserving and finding bodies, it wasn't important. And watching the scene, you couldn't get a general idea of what was going on. 

Among the swarm of men in lab coats, a mane of red hair stood out, walking away from the crowd and bumping into you. Louise. You and she were the only women working in that building - if not that company - and that fact brought you together on and off the job. But didn't she have a cold? What was she doing there? 

''What's going on, Louise?'' You ask the young woman who has hurried past you, holding her lightly by the shoulders. The hangover headache still had a giddy effect on your mind. 

''Oh, (Y/N), where were you last night? I called you a thousand times! We did it, (Y/N)!'' 

''What? Sorry... Can you repeat that? I don't know if I understand.'' 

''Oh, jeez... Alright,'' she said, looking around to check out the rapt group of co-workers, in a turbulent sea of white and gray lab coats. ''let's go get some coffee.'' 

She guided you by the shoulders away from the noise, acknowledging your sorry state. People there hardly ever made coffee pure, bitter and made for a person with a hangover; so there were only capsules of latte and cinnamon cappuccino, which Louise was forced to put in the coffee machine to offer to her irresponsible friend. The machine delivered the latte with a perfectly balanced foam, a pleasant temperature, and a flavor worthy of an encapsulated coffee. You drank it slowly, trying to get used to the bitter mix of flavors in your mouth. 

''Let's take it easy...'' Louise said, sitting down opposite you and resting her chin childishly in her hands, sliding a report across the table towards you. 

''You can just tell me what we did.'' 

''See for yourself.'' 

You peeked at the paper over your cup of latte, restraining yourself from spitting it out right away. 

Seeing in lay eyes, there was nothing much. But in your eyes, that was a lot. 39.704768, -74.633310. Coordinates, followed by necropsy reports. Radiation measurements, bone structure analysis, endurance tests, and a dozen more tests were done last night when you were partying at a glow party with your friends. So many reports ready in so little time could only mean one thing. 

''Is that... What I'm thinking?'' You asked, wiping away the last of the latte that clung to your lips. ''That's it...'' 

''Project Ecclesiastes. Yes.'' 

You smiled, took a deep breath, and laughed. A relieved, choppy laugh you've been saving for months for this moment. You didn't sleep well and your legs were wobbly, even though you were now sitting up. 

''Where is it? Does Thom already know about this? Oh, of course he knows! Where is Thom?! You said that to...'' 

''Hey, hey, calm down, (Y/N)! We have all the time in the world. Have your coffee and let's see the finished project when everyone leaves the lab. See, the kitchen has never been so empty! Nobody wants to miss work today!'' 

''You're right... But do you already know its identity? I mean... Did all these exams point to something relevant?'' 

''Nothing truly relevant, but it's certainly intriguing. Male, died aged thirty-three, of typical Middle Eastern origin. Dark brown to black hair, brown eyes...'' 

''Eyes?'' 

''Yeah, eyes.'' 

 ''Eyes?!'' 

''Eyes, (Y/N)! We have never found a body in such a good state of conservation!'' 

''Oh my God!'' 

''What are you doing here? Talking about makeup and hair, drinking coffee? Do you think you're in a restaurant?'' A voice in the background echoed and you both looked towards the door. A man in a lab coat and disheveled hair had come in to drink a glass of water. You assumed he was one of Louise's coworkers, as you've seen her hanging out with him a few times, although she didn't seem to like him very much. 

''(Y/N) was late and I offered her a coffee, that's all, Ed.'' Louise snapped, frowning. 

''Oh, so she got a coffee for being late to work? If that's the case, I'm going to change my alarm clock starting today.'' 

''Excuse me...'' You got up quickly, slightly embarrassed, and started walking towards the door with the cup of latte in your hand, causing the unfriendly conversation between Louise and her co-worker to become muffled behind you. 

You walked in long strides to the laboratory where you used to work; it wasn't yours, but essentially everyone knew you were the person who spent the most time there. Louise, cursing, ran after you; but suddenly, in the space between you two, a big pale hand appeared. The void receded, displaying an opening between the laboratory and the inconsistent, blind nothingness. From there emerged a tall man wearing formal clothes and a lab coat with more pockets than usual. Louise bowed her head in front of the newcomer. There was no one in that building with more noble and imposing features, with shoulders so broad that they looked like a large trunk. The man stopped with the backs of his hands propped on his hips, looking at Louise as if she were something someone forgot to sweep up. 

''Thom!'' You and Louise said in unison, your eyes wide, but she cared far more than you did to show respect. 

''Good morning to you ladies.'' He said sharply. ''(Y/N), I hope I brought some justification for your lateness on such an important day.'' 

''Oh... Yes, of course. I wasn't feeling very well, you know... But what's going on?'' You asked, baffled by your lack of professionalism. 

''You'll need to see for yourself.'' He walked forward, ignoring the space your body occupied and bumping into you. ''I thought Louise had already explained everything to you.'' 

Louise murmured and you were silent, looking at some things on your desk that you didn't remember putting there. On the table were a ton of papers and cups of cold coffee; as well as your computer and various tools and scalpels... a complete mess. But what really caught your attention was a kind of pile lying on the floor. It was the same size as glass, its ends were shaped like a nut on a screw, and the two poles connected with an aluminum cable whose sides extended into other wires attached to a structure that you imagined was built in the space of time that should have been Tuesday. Louise didn't seem to notice, or at least she already knew it was there. 

Thomas Foster, responsible for managing the main headquarters of the Speedwagon Foundation in Washington DC. He stopped in front of your desk, making a smooth gesture for Louise to go away and close the door behind her. You noticed all his gestures, but you didn't say or did anything, leaving Louise to obey him promptly. Dark brows, elegant and shapely lifted, intrigued and inquiring, as he smoothed over a few messy strands of your hair. 

''Ecclesiastes.'' He muttered as you looked around the lab, looking for any signs of the corpse amidst the mess. 

''Neither the wise nor the fool will be remembered forever... Both will be forgotten.'' You completed, inert. 

The hangover still clouded your mind, but now the clear figure you were looking for was just ahead, on top of an ordinary stainless steel autopsy table. Delicate, reminiscent, with vivid and aged traits of someone who once was. Man. Thirty-three years. Middle East. Brown to dark hair. Maybe that was your life's work, but that wasn't what blew you away. 

''You... You went to get the body instead of me?'' 

''You weren't answering the calls, so yeah.'' 

''Oh... I'm sorry, I don't know how I could have been so careless. I...'' 

''It's okay, (Y/N).'' You felt the warmth of his hand on your shoulder. The heat was so strong it seeped through the fabric of your clothes. ''Louise was a great help.''  

''So... you worked with her late?'' 

''Yes. Why?'' 

''Nothing... I just thought she had a cold.'' You cleared your head and smiled. ''Come on, Thom, do what you always do. Answer some of my questions.'' 

He smiled and corrected his posture, his relaxed eyes looking directly into your face. 

"What's on your mind, (Y/N)?" 

''I read the report, but most of the results were blurred. How many parts were the corpse divided into?'' 

''Nine. Legs, arms, ears, torso, eyes and head. Some kind of... accessory was found next to the corpse, let's do a DNA test to confirm whether or not it belongs to the corpse.'' 

''Was the corpse recently divided?'' 

 ''Evidently not.'' He replied, motioning you to approach the corpse for a better look. ''There are official records from 1890 that mention the location of a vertebral column with the same characteristics that we found in this corpse. We're talking about a corpse that's at least... I mean... At least 85 years old since it was... Ah, you know.'' 

You looked at him and his sudden nervousness at mentioning it, raising one of your eyebrows as if your look said it all. He didn't look back at you and took a deep breath, he looked a bit stressed and tired. So you looked back at the corpse and figured the news in question must date from 1890 onwards. So it wasn't exactly the headlines of the day. In the office, the only subject was a phenomenon that you had been studying for months called Devil's Palm. 

''I saw the coordinates that found the corpse. They were the same ones I had recorded on my DP tracker. Is there any explanation for this?'' 

''Explanations, no. Pieces of information, yes. The corpse was kept in a kind of iron coffin, a farmer found it and reported it to the fire department.'' 

''And how did they let you take it?'' 

''It is not relevant information. What you need to know, (Y/N), is that we still have a lot of work to do, and you will have a partner in the future.'' 

''Right... Wait, partner? They didn't tell me anything about it.'' 

''I'm saying it now, in advance.'' 

''But why? Did I do something wrong? I mean... I wasn't on my work schedule when Louise called me yesterday, technically not my fault, and...'' 

"It's okay, (Y/N), you didn't do anything wrong." He cut you off, placing a hand on your shoulder and looking at you calmly. ''I can't tell you for sure who your partner will be, but I have some idea who it is.'' 

You stayed quiet and stared at him. Thom leaned toward you, close to your face, speaking out of the corner of his mouth like a movie gangster in a roguish way. 

''I, huh... borrowed some reports from the boss.'' 

''You're the boss, Thom.'' You gave a not-very-genuine smile. 

''Yes, your boss. But I also have a boss. You won't tell anyone, right?'' 

Amused, you promised not to reveal his terrible secret and looked around for a comfortable armchair where you could receive the latest revelations from the 19th century and your laboratory. The chair closest to the window seemed suitable when Thom poured him a glass of whiskey as he sat down. And by the way, thank god you had sat down. That heel was strangely uncomfortable today like there were dozens of needles inside the insole. Strange, you thought, these weren't usually uncomfortable heels. 

You drank the whiskey elegantly and ignored the pain in your feet. 

''Incredible luck, (Y/N).'' He exclaimed excitedly, flipping through the already battered stack. ''I found a whole series of military and informal dispatches that mention the corpse. All of them are concentrated over a period of 116 days.'' 

''116 days? In 1890? How did these dispatches stand the test of time?'' 

''Like I said, incredible luck.'' He dragged his chair closer to yours, carefully sorting through a pile of documents and spreading them out on the table. ''The oldest is from September 16, 1890, and the most recent is from January 19, 1891. Do you know what happened during that time frame?'' 

''I don't know... Oklahoma and fried chicken come into existence?'' 

''Also... I mean, I don't know, but maybe. I'm talking about Steel Ball Run, (Y/N).'' 

You can't help but laugh. 

''Steel Ball Run?'' You asked, crossing your arms. 

''Never heard of it?'' 

''Well, yes, but when I was nine. I had to do a paper for school about it... We all came in with hobby horses and cowboy hats. I'm not surprised it's on the list of the silliest events of mankind.'' 

He laughed but in a short way. 

''The Steel Ball Run was what it was and there's nothing I can do about it. I just want to find out. The documents and letters are strange, for that particular time; most are without stamps or signatures, and everything indicates that the main means of delivery was through carrier pigeons. One of the letters, received in the United States on October 29, 1890, bears the coat of arms of the Vatican.'' 

''Vatican? Talking about the corpse?'' 

''Yes.'' 

You were stunned for a few seconds, but then you recovered. 

''So it's definitely an incorrupt body...'' 

''I'm not sure, check it out.'' 

He handed you the letter, a knowing smile on his face. You read it slowly and calmly, letter by letter. 

''Signor Gyro Zeppeli, 

There are no existing records of such saints. 

That is all.'' 

Thom, unable to sit still any longer, stopped your reading. 

''See it... At that time they already had suspicions that this corpse belonged to a saint, although they were not confirmed.'' 

''And they didn't even need confirmation...'' You commented, looking at the pile of other letters about the corpse that were sent in that period. ''Who is that Gyro Zeppeli? A researcher?'' 

''I looked him up in the university database that held these files.'' He stopped to drink more whiskey. The gulp visibly traveled down his long, chiseled neck, making his Adam's apple shimmer. ''I have a lot of information about a long Italian lineage called Zeppeli, but only one record about Gregorio Zeppeli's eldest son, Iulius Caesar, leaving for the American continent in March 1890.'' 

''What a presumptuous name... But using a false identity on another continent? Now I don't think he's a researcher. Is he an ancestor of Jimmy Page?'' 

''Jimmy Page?'' 

''You know, the guitarist from Led Zeppelin.'' 

''Led Zeppelin? I thought it was a person, not a band!'' He said, laughing. 

''Jesus, Thom!'' You laughed along, raising your eyebrows. ''And you still insist on saying you're not old!'' 

''I'm not old, just too mature for rock bands!'' 

''Ah, yeah, yeah... sure.'' You replied with an enhanced tone of irony, still laughing. ''But this Zeppeli family... were they aristocrats or something? You said they had a lot of records about them.'' 

''An extensive lineage of doctors and executioners from the kingdom of Naples. They developed a unique technique... Ever heard of the Fibonacci sequence?'' 

''Fibonacci? I got a bunch of red marks in high school because of this bastard. Are you telling me he was a Zeppeli?'' 

''No. Fibonacci was a Fibonacci, (Y/N).'' 

''Oh, of course.'' You laughed. ''Anything else?'' 

''Well... '' His eyes lifted to his face. ''Just some theories from me and... we need to talk about your future partner.'' 

''Let's talk about me later.'' You got up slowly and took the bottle of whiskey to fill both your glasses. ''Tell me what you're thinking, Thom.'' 

You can see that, despite his apparent outward restraint, he was bubbling over with whatever he had discovered, like a little boy with a frog in his pocket. Obviously, you would have to listen to everything he had to say this time, sitting on the arm of his chair, with your thighs resting against his torso and his arm draped around your hip. 

Thom was so absorbed with the corroded papers that he barely looked up when he felt the rising heat of your body. Now and then he would reluctantly hand you over and peek at them as if he couldn't bear to have the papers out of his sight even for an instant. 

''Really?'' You said politely, fingering the grimy pieces of paper. ''Hmmm... yes, very interesting.'' 

In fact, the ornate handwriting was so worn and elaborate that it didn't seem worth deciphering. One leaf, better preserved than the rest, bore a sort of crest at the top. 

''Steel Ball Run, right?'' You asked, carefully analyzing the stamped paper, with the faded figure of a horse galloping on a horseshoe and the letters printed underneath in a kind of ranking, clearer than the manuscripts. 

''Yes, that's right.'' He said, even more beaming. ''A record of the winner of one of the stages, as you know.'' 

You didn't know, but you nodded intelligently, knowing as you knew your boss in the mad rush of discovery. It was seldom necessary to do more than shake the head now and then, exclaiming "Oh, really?" or "Absolutely fascinating!" at appropriate intervals. 

After a certain amount of deferential exchange between you and Thom, he has earned the honor of telling you about another discovery. Evidently, most of that old paperwork indicated that the promoter of the Steel Ball Run, the famous Stephen Steel, was not only an undefeated organizer of the race but also a trusted agent of the twenty-third president of the United States, Funny Valentine, coming up with the idea of the transcontinental race fully sponsored by the government and by the oil company Speedwagon. 

''The investments in the search for this corpse are for a reason after all.'' You elegantly urged him to say more about it. 

''Yes, that's true, but we still don't know the exact reason.'' He said, taking the paper from your hands and placing it on the table. ''I'll need to check more things out of the university's kept records.'' 

''All this is... absolutely fascinating.'' You murmured, letting your attention drift to the man's slender hands that were now sliding over the thin fabric of your pantyhose. ''Really, we still have a lot of work to do.'' 

His breathing became deeper and deeper. He made you get up and sit on his lap, bending you down to kiss him. This went on for a long time and his hands trailed down, finding the buttons on your blouse and unfastening them. His warm breath tickled your breasts. Finally, your clothes were open from neck to waist, covered only by your bra. 

''Oh...'' He said, in a different voice. ''We still have unfinished business.'' 

''Unfinished business?'' You questioned in a low voice as you ran your hands through the short, black strands of his hair. 

"We haven't talked about you yet, (Y/N)..." 

You cut him off with yet another kiss. He groped your back in gentle, steady motions, pressing you against his body until your hips fit perfectly. 

''Then say it.'' You replied, tilting your head to lightly nip his earlobe. 

Affected by the numbness of anticipated pleasure, Thom enunciated his words practically and automatically. 

''Your new partner...'' He began, his face buried between your breasts. ''It's Louise... she got promoted... she's going to work in the lab next week.'' 

You stopped suddenly, surprised. The only words your mind recorded were ''Louise'' and ''promoted''. Sensing your hesitation, Thom lifted his head and looked at you. 

''Something wrong, sweetheart?'' 

Your wide eyes stared into his and an icy wave of indignation coursed through your body. The fact that your new partner was Louise wasn't something that bothered you, but why would she get a promotion and you wouldn't? Why were you angry about this? She was your friend, and you weren't jealous or envious. Thom was your boss who occasionally asked you to have sex, that should put you in some privileged position, right? You liked him but at the end of the day you were preserving your career. 

''Louise was promoted? But she isn't even a scientist...'' 

''Well, yes. She works in the HR department... she will start to regulate the laboratory area.'' 

''She will... Will you supervise my work, Thom?'' 

''What?'' He let out a nervous laugh. ''Don't get me wrong, (Y/N). We just thought you might need some assistance now that...'' 

''Assistance?! You put Louise to supervise me!'' 

You quickly extricated yourself from his arms and stood up, fastening the buttons on your blouse and straightening the rest of your wrinkled clothes. Undeniably outraged by this turn of events, Thom made a frustrated gesture with his hands and also stood up, looking at you as he ran a hand through his hair. He always did that when he was too stressed. 

''What did you want me to do, (Y/N)? Louise has been a great worker within her department!'' 

''A great worker?! What about me?! I've been tracking the fucking Devil's Palm for months, I developed an automatic tracking program that you used to find that damn corpse! That shitty dry body is here, in this lab, because of me!'' 

''For God's sake, (Y/N), you were totally wasted the night we needed you! The corpse is only here because Louise talked to that farmer!'' 

''Oh, good for her! I was already done with my damn shift, Thom. I developed the program that you guys use so much! I should have been promoted!'' 

''You're lucky you're not unemployed right now, (Y/N)!'' This time, his voice was loud and angry enough for the entire building to hear, including the poor janitors behind the door. 

''What?'' Shaken, you stammered. "What did you say?" 

''Do you know how many complaints I get every day because of your insubordination? Or did you think that working hungover and offending your co-workers are things the Speedwagon Foundation condones? I'm the only reason you're still here, (Y/N). You are a damn ingrate, you should be silent and keep your head down!'' 

Yes, silent and head down. You thought. That was the way to face the situation and leave that room in cold blood. Your blood, however, was far from cold. You were seething with anger and agitation and could not calm down. After a few seconds in this state, your face was flushed, and your head began to throb. 

''No.'' You said. ''I'm the one who keeps everyone in this company. It's because of me that the corpse was found, it's because of me that we'll never lose the location of the Devil's Palm, and it's because of me that the competing foundation didn't beat us! It's because of me, I deserve the credit! I developed the program, I examined dozens of batches of mummified corpses, and I finished the necropsy on each one of them! Me, Thom, just me! All the other good-for-nothings only served to pass me scalpels! It's because of me that your boss hasn't slit your neck yet, because he doesn't know you go around banging the employees!'' 

''You're crazy, (Y/N)! You have to thank me for still working here!'' 

You glared at him, snorting. Ideas of what to do next were in short supply at the moment, despite the time you knew you'd spend hammering away at the problem. You decided, then, that storming out of that building was the best alternative you could have. And you did. 

The door opened violently and you saw a mixture of surprised and curious faces in the hallway, including Louise's, who was holding two cups of latte – one of which you deduced was yours –. You ignored everyone and kept walking, not bothering to be followed by the red-haired girl. 

''Hey, (Y/N)! What happened? I heard a lot of screaming.'' She questioned, walking hurriedly and being careful not to spill the drink she was holding, that's when she noticed that she was too far away from you. ''Damn, how can you walk so fast in those heels?'' 

You didn't look back, you just deftly descended the stairs, not worrying about scratching them again and prepared to walk through that door and add that event to your list of recalcitrance at that company. 

''Oh, alright, you want to be alone...'' You heard Louise babble while she was still going down the stairs. Obstinate, you just opened the door and walked through it to the parking lot. ''I'll call you later, okay? Just to make sure you're okay!''

5. Age 12. I realize, like really realize, that I like (like, like like) both boys and girls. I declare myself a riot grrrl and a punk. I cut my hair hella short; start wearing combat boots, army surplus coats, chains. I want to be Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon. I still get told I look like a boy. I also get called a dyke for the first time.

6. It’s the early ‘90s. Queerness and androgyny are somewhat accepted for celebrities, but not for regular people, at least not in my mid-sized southeastern Wisconsin town. If you’re at all gender non-conforming or non-heterosexual, you get called a dyke or a fag or a freak or all three, interchangeably.

7. No one believes bisexuality exists. If you say you’re bi, everyone assumes you’re just a homo too scared to fully come out, or you’re a hetero trying to be ‘different.’ Or you’re just an indecisive, greedy slut.

8. Anytime I get a crush on a girl, I write in my journal: Oh, I like girls so much, I must really be gay. Anytime I get a crush on a boy, I write in my journal: Ugggh, boys are so cute, I must really be straight.

9. I start cutting myself. I start smoking. I start writing zines and slam poetry and I start trying suicide.

10. I get called a dyke and a fag and a freak. I throw my lot in with the other misfits. The kids two, three, four years older, and the handful of others my age who get it. The other queer kids, zine-writers, alterna-girls and boys, kids with green hair or shaved heads and nose rings. Theater geeks and Rocky Horror reenactors, bedroom magicians, thriftstore shoppers, delicate cutters, graffiti artists, amateur arsonists, seasoned shoplifters. Riot grrrls and indie rockers, grungy dirtbag skaters, punks and goths and industrial kids, hippies and hardcore hip-hoppers and suburban Rastafarians and all the kids who don’t fit into any one subculture but just love all of it as long as it’s outside the mainstream.

11. Is anyone in the mainstream? RENT will ask, just a couple years later.

The Drin — Today My Friend You Drunk The Venom (Drunken Sailor)

Today My Friend You Drunk the Venom by The Drin

If Cincinnati musician Dylan McCartney was named Kirk Stewart or Newton Thomas one might approach The Drin with a better idea of what to expect. Rather than sweet melodies and verbose poetry, McCartney and his cohorts work serpentine basslines, spindly guitars, dub rhythms, satisfyingly disruptive outbursts of noise and dystopic lyrics.  These ten tracks take his city’s distorted garage punk legacy and connect it with a psychogeographical lineage that includes Sheffield, Dusseldorf, Bristol and Manchester. The result is a brilliant evocation of the rhythmic expansions that galvanized musicians straightjacketed by the conformity of punk.

Today My Friend You Drunk The Venom evokes mildewed post-industrial buildings under grey skies, dirty streets, thin black clad malcontents banging out their stuff with what comes to hand. The rhythms—everything from primal thump to rolling dub—take a central role in McCartney’s aesthetic. His words tumble out in a muttered monotone that does nothing to detract from the propulsion of bass and drums. Guitars flicker like guttering candles and squall like sheets of sleet against broken windowpanes. Everything is coated in reverb, and you can picture the fog of breath and steam of sweat as the band goes through its paces. The Drin summon the spirit of Warsaw on “Stonewallin',” Rocket From The Tombs on “Go Your Way Alone,” and they attack “Peaceful, Easy, Feeling” like a garage band backing Gregor Samsa, complete with the squawks of predatory birds (not The Eagles) rooting around rotting floorboards. Thing is, The Drin always sound like The Drin and that sound is very good. From the motorik rave of “The Day (Azoic)” to the Bristol influenced dub of “Eyes Only For Space” with clanking metallic percussion and twitchy guitar scratching in the background, McCartney’s gnomic declamations emerge from the murk to worm their way into one’s head. 

The Drin cover a of lot bases here but connect the dots in a way that sounds both organic and logical. If Today My Friend You Drunk The Venom sounds like a record made by record collectors, the result meshes the past and present into a thrilling ride. Sip the poison and you will get you hooked. Go ahead, drink up!

why don't you answer my question of why you hate trans people? is it because you can't justify yourself because their lives have nothing to do with you?

Youre wrong. As a gay man my experience is being coopted by the transhumanism agenda. Gender theory and sexual orientation are mutually exclusive. They cannot coexist. Trans people are injuring the image of gay people by their targeting of young people, and women only spaces specifically. The gay community had to stand up to NAMBLA in the past, who was trying to ride on our coat tails. Gender radicals are trying to do that with LGB now.

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. Conflating that with LGB is detrimental to decades of work by gay people.

Gender reassignment is the new conversion therapy. Its a capitulation to gender norms, suggesting that behavioural characteristics, feelings and preferences correspond to biologic immutable fact. This is regressive and normative.

I believe that people experiencing gender dysphoria have a difficult time with this truth is because they often have co-morbidities, neurodivergence, narcissistic personality disorder etc. They are desperate for something that feels good, something to cling to and receive affirmation from, something to believe in, because of a deep woundedness.

This is my observation from first hand experience.

I dont hate trans people. I hate gender ideology, that medicalizes gay people, gender non conforming people, and tells them that if they become permanent pharmacorp customers they will be happier.

I hate the transhumanism agenda that is behind it all. An agenda that wants to dehumanize all if us and plug our borg like bodies into a metaverse matrix.

I hate the mock virtue and the fascist vitriol; the hypocrisy and superficiality.

I hate lies.

I thought I was trans for a while. But I self reflected. I did research. I questioned things, especially myself. And I realized that no, Im just gender non conforming gay man. How radical. To insist that I can be a man with so called "feminine" traits.

So you see this is about me. This is very personal.

To this day Im angry that I was circumcised. How much angrier would I be if adults "affirmed" my belief that I was in the wrong body, and helped me cut off my penis and testicles completely, get a fake unnatural vagina that is nothing like a vagina, and be on drugs for the rest of my life!? I have made a lot of bad decisions over the years, but Im sure as hell glad that wasn't one of them.

Who wouldnt like some cosmetic surgery to "affirm" them!? No one is in the perfect body. To suggest that is a noble goal is most certainly a disgusting ploy by an industry bigger than oil. Cosmetics, fashion, surgical, genetics, pharmaceutical; all these industries benefit by gender ideology and transgenderism.

How bout we celebrate people as they are, not try and make them into something else. Especially not something that is a degraded, dysfunctional version.

A man on estrogen with no penis and silicone boobs is not a woman. Is very inferior to a woman. And now he is most certainly a sub par man.... forever. No going back.

The only possible appeal is maybe a theatrical performative caricature of a woman. This is actually very derogatory and demeaning, telling woman what the beauty industry has been doing, that femininity is derived from makeup, heels, purses, and hair. Its superficial and stereotypical and regressive.

So how bout you.. whats your argument? Id really like to hear something rational and logical from your "side." I honestly never have. Only emotion, vitriol, ad hominem, gaslighting, and threats. So please, step up, or admit defeat. Join the ranks of detransitioners, or transexuals like Buck Angel or Blair White, who admit that they do have a mental illness, that they are their biological sex.

Thats it. Leave kids alone. Call out the bullshit and the predators who are coopting the LGB for their own ill agenda.

Source: It is primarily extracted from tea plants, particularly from Camellia seed and green tea seed.

Camellia saponin Extraction: Tea saponin is a kind of pentacyclic triterpenoid compound extracted from tea seed meal, which has many biological functions, so it plays an important role in many industries, but its application and development are affected by low extraction rate and poor purity. The traditional extraction methods of tea saponin include water extraction, methanol extraction, ethanol extraction, n-propanol extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and biological extraction.

Properties:

Emulsifying Agent: Saponins can stabilize emulsions, making them useful in food and cosmetic formulations.

Foaming Agent: They create stable foams, beneficial in beverages and personal care products.

Health Benefits:

Antioxidant Effects: Saponins may have antioxidant properties, helping to combat oxidative stress.

Cholesterol Management: Some studies suggest they can help lower cholesterol levels.

Immune Support: They may enhance immune function.

Uses:

Dietary Supplements: Often included in health supplements for their potential health benefits.

Food Industry: Used as a natural emulsifier or foaming agent in various food products.

Cosmetics: Incorporated into personal care products for their emulsifying properties.

Agricultural production: tea saponin, as a high-quality biosurfactant, can play an important role in the removal of heavy metals in soil, water, solid waste incineration, and fly ash in agricultural production and life, which has strong practical significance, conforms to our concept of sustainable agricultural development, and is a focus of our future research on the comprehensive utilization of tea seeds.

Safety: While generally considered safe in moderate amounts, high concentrations may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals.

This product produced by Quality Herb is mainly for agricultural and daily chemical use, although it can be used in food, our specifications are not recommended.

Tea saponins powder has several applications in agriculture, owing to its natural properties. Here are some key uses:

Applications in Agriculture

Natural Pesticide:

Insect Repellent: Tea saponins can deter certain pests due to their toxicity to insects while being less harmful to beneficial organisms.

Fungicide: They possess antifungal properties, making them useful in preventing fungal infections in crops.

Soil Health:

Soil Conditioner: Saponins can improve soil structure and promote microbial activity, enhancing nutrient availability.

Biodegradation Enhancer: They may aid in the breakdown of organic matter, promoting healthier soil ecosystems.

Plant Growth Stimulant:

Root Development: Saponins can stimulate root growth, improving nutrient uptake and overall plant vigor.

Stress Resistance: They may enhance plants’ resilience to environmental stresses, such as drought or salinity.

Biological Control Agent:

Pathogen Suppression: By promoting beneficial microorganisms, tea saponins can help suppress soil-borne pathogens.

Seed Treatment:

Enhanced Germination: Coating seeds with tea saponins can improve germination rates and seedling establishment.

Protective Barrier: They can act as a protective barrier against pests and diseases during the early stages of growth.

Benefits

Eco-Friendly: As a natural product, tea saponins are less likely to harm the environment compared to synthetic chemicals.

Sustainability: Their use supports sustainable agricultural practices by reducing reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

Conclusion

Tea saponin powder offers a versatile and environmentally friendly option for enhancing agricultural practices, promoting plant health, and improving crop yields. However, further research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness and optimal application methods.

Pipe Relining Artarmon: Efficient Solutions for Damaged Pipes

Pipe Relining Artarmon: Innovative Solutions for Your Plumbing Needs

At Total Pipe Relining Sydney, we specialize in providing top-notch pipe relining services in Artarmon, offering an efficient and modern solution for damaged or blocked pipes. Our trenchless technology allows for effective repairs without the need for disruptive excavation, making it a preferred choice for homeowners and businesses in the area.

What is Pipe Relining?

Pipe relining is a cutting-edge technique that involves creating a new pipe within the existing damaged pipe. This process begins by cleaning the damaged section of the pipe, followed by inserting a resin-coated liner. Once in place, the liner is inflated and cured, forming a robust, seamless pipe that addresses leaks, cracks, and other structural issues. This innovative approach not only restores functionality but also significantly extends the lifespan of your plumbing system.

Why Choose Pipe Relining?

Minimal Disruption: One of the most significant benefits of pipe relining is its trenchless nature. Unlike traditional repair methods that require extensive digging and disruption to your property, pipe relining can be done with minimal excavation, preserving your landscaping and hardscapes.

Cost-Effective Solution: Although the initial costs of pipe relining may seem higher than traditional methods, it often proves to be more cost-effective in the long run. By avoiding the costs associated with excavation and restoration, homeowners save money while benefiting from a long-lasting repair.

Durability and Longevity: The materials used in pipe relining are designed to withstand the test of time. Once cured, the new pipe is incredibly strong and resistant to corrosion, tree root intrusion, and other common issues, providing peace of mind for years to come.

Fast Turnaround: Our team at Total Pipe Relining Sydney is equipped with the latest technology, allowing us to complete most pipe relining projects in just a few hours. This means minimal disruption to your daily life and a quick return to normalcy.

Environmental Benefits: Pipe relining is an eco-friendly solution. Since it reduces the need for excavation, it minimizes waste and lessens the impact on your property. By choosing pipe relining, you're making a responsible choice for the environment.

The Pipe Relining Process

Inspection: The first step in our pipe relining service is a comprehensive inspection using advanced CCTV cameras. This allows us to accurately assess the condition of your pipes, identifying any cracks, blockages, or other issues.

Cleaning: After the inspection, we thoroughly clean the affected pipes using high-pressure water jetting. This step ensures that any debris, grease, or buildup is removed, creating a smooth surface for the liner to adhere to.

Liner Installation: Once the pipes are clean, we insert the resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe. The liner is then inflated, allowing it to conform to the shape of the existing pipe.

Curing: The next step involves curing the resin to create a solid, durable new pipe. This can be done using hot water or UV light, depending on the type of resin used. Once cured, the liner becomes a strong and seamless pipe.

Final Inspection: After the curing process is complete, we conduct another inspection with our CCTV cameras to ensure the relining was successful and that your pipes are functioning properly.
