The fact that fans really don't seem bothered by the extra racist baggage and implications that get thrown Almyra's way in exchange for frothing about Cyril and the fact that the route puts the onus of change on the church and Fodlan itself and excuses most of Claude's behavior...like dude

For sure, and all the comments I see that say Claude was fair and just, yadda yadda, always leave out how terrible Almyra gets portrayed in this game. I mean in Houses it wasn’t... totally great and there were still some unfortunate undertones happening, but it’s blown to extremes in Hopes.

Notably from what I’ve seen, it’s the people who support the actions in GW that never mention the Almyran problem, or the fact that it’s the poc characters who are doing the morally questionable things. I remember when the game script leaked and my first thoughts about GW were “oh great, of course it’s the only brown main character who does all the shitty things”. Then I got deeper into it with the Nader and Shahid stuff, Claude declaring war on all of the rest of Fodlan, and of course let’s not forget them trying to squeak the King of Almyra’s bullshit treatment of his own child by with lol he was half asleep.

Because to be frank, it’s pretty Not Cool to me when I see that the Almyran King specifically is one of the worst parents in the game. I’d even say what he does is borderline abusive. There are only a small number of other dads in the game that are actually scummy, like... you know, Mercedes’ father, who... you know, died because Jeritza looked at him and went “wow, scum of the earth who deserves to die”.

Part of why I didn’t like GW is because it felt so... icky seeing how Almyra and especially Claude and Nader got handled. I wish they just left the morally questionable things in Edelgard’s route like they did with CF instead of deciding their fandom’s waifu was more important than an unoriginal storyline about the brown people being invaders and all that. 🙃

Saiouma Week Day 1: Morning

Hello everyone!! I wanted to write for Day 1 of saioumaweek ( @saiouma-events ): morning/night, specifically for morning! 

Summary: Shuichi normally isn’t awake so early at 6am, but had went to sleep very early last night. Deciding it’d make for a peaceful morning to read outside on a bench, he would also come across Kokichi who spots him. Kokichi himself is awake due to having difficulty sleeping... so Shuichi will help him try to get some sleep. 

Heheh as always, smth short and cute I wanted to do~! And if you give it a read, thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy! ღ

6am... normally, the detective was still asleep at this time. Though: he had fallen asleep much earlier than his usual bedtime, so he woke up very early. He didn't mind it, though: in fact, he even got dressed so he could go outside and take a stroll through campus, eventually stopping at a bench so he could sit down and read. The sky slowly brightens as the sun continues to rise. It made for a very pretty sight, paired with the sound of the birds tweeting in the background and a cool morning breeze sweeping past him. 

As expected, there wasn't really anyone else outside... save for the peculiar sight of Kokichi, who was also up and about this morning. His reason for being awake, though, was because he hadn't slept, barely getting two hours in. His sleeping schedule was never consistent, anyway: sometimes he got a decent amount of rest, and other times, he barely got in a nap's worth of sleep. He was incredibly exhausted and his eyes were baggy, but he gave up trying to go back to sleep after failing to do so multiple times. When he enters the part of campus Shuichi is in, and spots him-"!" He looks surprised, not expecting to see the detective of all people out so early. "Saihara-chan...?" But it was a nice surprise: he always got excited when he spotted Shuichi. He quickly and quietly moves around to behind the bench. Then slowly, he sneaks closer from behind, and... places his hands over Shuichi's eyes. 

"Oh-!" Not having spotted or heard him, Shuichi lets out a surprised gasp when his vision is suddenly blocked. 

"Guess whooo~?"

"!" He was about to ask who it was, but once Kokichi spoke and he recognized his voice, a smile now appeared on his face. Giggling, he answers: "If I had to guess... Ouma-kun?"

"Ding ding ding!" He snickers, moving his hands away before he wraps his arms around Shuichi's neck, nuzzling their cheeks together. "Saihara-chan!!"

"Ouma-kun!" He smiles brightly, nuzzling their cheeks together as well before he looks towards him. "Good morning! I didn't expect to see you out here: enjoying a morning stroll, too?"

"I could say the same thing for you! And in actuality, I was contemplating which facility I should take over and make my secret base, next. Perhaps if Saihara-chan joins my organization, I'll take over his favorite library so he can have allll the books he wants..."

"Aww, Ouma-kun... how sweet of you." Then an amused smile creeps onto his face. "But no."

"Ah! Rude!!" He playfully pouts, jabbing his finger into the laughing Shuichi's cheek before he starts laughing with him. Whenever Shuichi was playful with him like this and laughed as if he was having fun: Kokichi adored it. He adored many things about his beloved detective. "Anywaaay.. why are you up so early, Saihara-chan? Were you up all night reading again?"

"N-No! It's just... I fell asleep way earlier than my bedtime, so I ended up waking up at like 5:30am, a-ahaha... and since I didn't feel tired enough to head back to sleep, I thought it'd be nice to come out here. The sky looks so pretty at this hour..."

"I see, I see... cause if Shumai pulled another all night, I'd have to roast his books over a fire!"

"I-It's always an accident when it happens, I swear!" He whines, before a worried expression appears on his face.. "A-Anyway… did you not get any sleep last night, Ouma-kun? Your eyes have bags under them... is everything alright? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Jeeez... Saihara-chan worries too much. I'm just way too busy for sleep, is all!" He didn't want to tell Shuichi that it was simply trouble sleeping, as he didn't want to worry him even more than he already was. 

"B-But..." Shuichi knows it has to be more than that, which only makes him worry worse. "Still! You should get some sleep... hmm..." He thinks for a moment... before he pats his lap. "H...Here. You can lay your head on my nap and rest."

"I told youuu, I’m...huh?" Just as he was about to insist once more he doesn't need to keep worrying, the sudden offer catches him off guard. "Saihara-chan wants me to... lay my head on his lap?"

"Y-Yeah, well: if you want, that is. Even if it's only 30 minutes of sleep.. something is better than nothing. And... I wouldn't mind it..." 

".................." He doesn't respond right away. Not that he's deciding if he wants to or not: he very much would love to. But the thought of laying on Shuichi's lap... he hopes the blush that slowly creeps onto his face won't be too notable. "F...Fine. Only so I won't hear you keep nagging at me." Is the convenient excuse he gives, before laying his body onto the bench and lays his head on Shuichi’s lap.

Shuichi feels his heart thump in his chest once Kokichi's laying on his lap, still surprised he was even bold enough to suggest that. He knows he could've suggested he should just go back to his own bed to sleep, but he... wanted to take that risk and ask of this: he's glad he did. Having the person he's secretly in love with, resting on his lap... it's something he'd love to experience. "A...Are you comfy?"

"Hmm...nope! This is the worst pillow ever!" But then a big, bright smile appears on his face. "But that's a lie! Saihara-chan's lap is... passable enough."

"G-Geez... never a straight answer with you, huh?" He chuckles, smiling down at him so warmly. 

"Nishishi...." Shuichi looking down at him with such a smile, highlighted by the bright sunlight... it made the blush on his cheeks darken, and his smile shift into a more natural, genuine one. He always found the detective so pretty; but especially right now. "Shumai’s got such a pretty smile..." He mumbles quietly, nuzzling part of his face in Shuichi’s stomach with a giggle. "And if I'm napping on my beloved detective's nap... then maybe I'll look forward to sleeping."

“A...Ah… e-ehehe…” His own cheeks turn a darker shade of red as well, the look in his eyes looking warmer and more loving.” Th...Thank you…. And I’m happy to hear that, Ouma-kun. You deserve a good rest.” His hand hesitates for a moment… but then he slowly brings it up towards Kokichi’s head, so he can start gently combing it through his hair. If Kokichi didn’t like the gesture, he’d stop: but hearing a content sigh leave him instead, and even nuzzling his head more against Shuichi’s hand… makes him softly  giggle as he continues the gesture.  “Have a nice nap now, okay…?”

“Aye!” Once he’s extra comfy on his lap, he nuzzles his face against his stomach some more before slowly drifting off to sleep. Shuichi continues stroking his hair while reading with his other hand, occasionally glancing down at him. He looked so peaceful and content as he slept… the first time in a long while sleep felt this nice. 

“...Never thought someone as normally eccentric and boisterous as him, could have such an adorable sleeping face…” He whispers to himself, giggling. He was happy he could help Kokichi finally get some sleep.

It’s around two hours later when Kokichi wakes up. “Mmnngh…” He wipes the small drool lazily with his sleeve, eyes squinting when the sunlight hits them… and instead of rising back up: he wraps  his arms around Shuichi’s face, burying his face in his stomach once more while sleepily mumbling incoherent babbles. He doesn’t want to get up yet.

“Oh…!” That whole while, Shuichi had still been reading. His legs did become a bit numb overtime, but he didn’t mind it: he wouldn’t move until Kokichi was awake. He looks down at him when he feels him move around, chuckling as he gives his cheek a small poke. “Hellooo, Ouma-kuuun… did you have a nice sleep?”

“Mraaah…” He snickers at the cheek poke, eventually raising his head back up and slowly rises, yawning with a nod. “Yeah… I did. I didn’t wanna wake up yet, though: Shumai’s so comfyyy…” Once he’s sitting next to him again, he leans his head against his shoulder. “Zzz…nishishi...” 

“You’re so silly…” He giggles, giving his hair a soft ruffle. “But I’m glad. Still take it  easy for today, though, okay?”

“Hmm….” He looks up at him with a mischievous smile. “Only if I can have Saihara-chan to myself for the rest of the day! He’s gonna make us breakfast while I invade his dorm room!”

“S-So it’s already been determined, huh… well, not that I mind: sure. Let’s hang out in my room today!” Classes weren’t mandatory, anyway: he figures it wouldn’t hurt to miss a day, spending it with Kokichi.

“Yaaaay~!” Kokichi glomps him down in a big hug. “Saihara-chan’s the best!” He wraps his arms around him and starts cuddling him, giggling happily… before he leans in to plant a soft kiss to his cheek. “Because my beloved made me have such a great sleep on his lap…”

“W-Woah-!” His book flew out of his hand from the impact of being glomped down, laughing happily. “A-Ahaha! Yes, yes, we’ll have fun today!” The kiss to his cheek, though, makes a surprised gasp leave him. “!” His cheeks turn a light pink and his heart flutters happily… before he gives a fluffy smile and nods. “N… No problem…” Shuichi slowly wraps his arms around him in turn to cuddle him back. “I’ll happily let you sleep on my lap, anytime…” And shyly leans in to give his forehead a soft peck.

“N...Nishishi….” He buries his face in Shuichi’s chest for a moment, feeling his heart bouncing around from the peck to his forehead, and being cuddled up in his arms like this. He’s so happy, it’s nearly overwhelming. “...Thank you, Saihara-chan. I’d love that.. Now-!” His cheeks still a burning red, Kokichi lets go of him and hops off, holding his hands out with the brightest, beaming smile. “Let’s eat, let’s eaaat! And then have lotsa fun!”

“H-Hehe, yes!” Shuichi grabs both of Kokichi’s hands once he sits back up, so that he can yank the detective up to his feet. “I’ll make us something nice… and then we’ll have a lazy day together…” Grabbing his book, Shuichi begins walking alongside Kokichi as they talk about whatever. To think this all happened, because Shuichi just happened to be out here this early like Kokichi… now, he determines having accidentally slept in so early last night was a very happy accident: one he would not mind at all happening, again.

[not-a-christmas-tree]

i just watched the dallas theatre company les mis here are my observations

IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS PRODUCTION I SUGGEST YOU DO! DON’T READ THIS IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS THOUGH!

so, in case you didn’t know: in 2014, Dallas Theatre Company did a modern interpretation of les mis. i just watched it on youtube (i will link it later, i promise) and took SO MANY GODDAMN NOTES so here they are!

ACT ONE 

(Look Down-WHID)

starting out strong! we got some HARSH TRUTHS ABOUT THE JAIL SYSTEM!! blatant police brutality happening BASICALLY the entire first part of the song. it hurts me. 

note on the cops costumes: they legitimately terrify me and they are dressed in like. full riot gear.

okay so,,,valjean wraps the rope from his bag around his neck at the end of WHID. this is interesting bc, a) he’s trying to find a solution as to what he should do after the Bishop and that’s a direction I’ve surprisingly seen no one take, but b) this part has the same melody as javert’s suicide, when javert is ALSO trying to figure out what he should do after his perception on life is altered. for a moment there, they both are on the same page, the page being suicide. however, only one of them takes that choice.

the above makes the lines (in both songs) “i’ll escape now from that world / from the world of valjean” ESPECIALLY interesting because. in two different ways, they did escape, but they ALMOST had the same conclusion for a brief second.

(At The End Of The Day)

in ATEOTD fantine ends up being the last one working, causing everyone to look at her with varying degrees of annoyance or frustration. She do be hardworking doe

OH SHIT KIDS IN THE FACTORY!! three little kids run up to the foreman when he’s giving daily stipends to the ladies!! (they’re also the last to be paid, giving significant sass to foreman who also sasses back)

Girl #5 mockingly calling fantine “innocent sister” when 5 is white and fantine is a WOC...that’s kind of interesting given that that can be read as SERIOUS racial profiling on 5’s part

foreman looks like bob’s boss in the incredibles but like. tall lmao

(I Dreamed A Dream)

her look of like,,shock-but-not when everyone from the factory exits and she takes off her bandana,,,that. that is good acting

her transitions from chest to head voice are so good

i’m kinda sad she isn’t younger?? or just. doesn’t look super young bc fantine is supposed to be like. early twenties. she’s not 45 and had a decently long life before she died, no, she’s young. she was taken advantage of. that’s the whole point. but that’s sUPER little like this lady is way too good

she has the perfect mix of sadness and regret plus anger and shameless hope. like. kudos to you allison blackwell you’re a dope fantine 

the cry on “killed the dream i dreamed” brb sobbing

(The Dock Scenes)

MALE PROSTITUTES I REPEAT!! MALE PROSTITUTES!! (no idea what wig he’s wearing tho. he was done dirty in the wig department) 

oh male prostitute is prostitute #1! 

oh damn there is. lady def on some bad drugs with her kid passing behind fantine on the bench. ouch.

hoo okay they did n o t censor lovely ladies!! (mini note: camera person has the camera down an AWFUL LOT on these docks scenes lmao)

there are cops on the docks. gross.

(Who Am I-Confrontation)

OH SHIT THEY HAVE A FALSE JVJ IN THE BACKGROUND OF WHO AM I 

jvj comforts not-jvj for a second!! (money note was FANTASTIC btw)

fantine being WOC and DYING in a modern hospital also is,,yeesh because. you know. racist doctors. 

jvj cries after fantine dies JUST STAB ME NOW OKAY—

confrontation is really funny when u see that javert has a GUN and jvj has A CHAIR

JVJ DID THE LIL RUN ON “live within my care” YAAAAY

(COAC-Master Of The House)

oh boy baby cosette,,so small,,so pure plus classic baby head shake when she sings I STAN

MADAME T LOOKS—OH GOOD GOD

DID SHE SPIT ON MY BABY--

cosette: “please do not send me out alone—“ madame t: “oooooh my gOOOOOD” omg 

what the fuck is thenardiers hair i—

WHAT THE FUCK IS THENARDIER IN G E N E R A L

random idea regarding thenardier’s prison tattoo: he has the same number on his chest that jvj has. Meaning he was in jail too. so why isn’t he as messed up as jvj? i wanna say maybe he was in for less time, but like. I doubt it. However, he has a whole ass gang. did the thenardier gang break their boss out of jail? please say yes 

him listing things for baby éponine to charge i love it

OH MY GOD THENARDIER FLAUNTS HIS NUMBER WHILE JVJ DOESNT!! jvj hides his past because he believes it will get him into better places (it does, he becomes mayor for god’s sake) while thenardier shows off his past with stubborn pride. while thenardier cheats his way to success, jvj lives an almost honest life where he ultimately suffers due to the stress all the hiding he does gives him

i love that éponine looks like neither of her parents,,,madame t got around huh? 

(The Bargain)

I JUST REALIZED THE STAGE HAS A CATWALK DOWN THE CENTER INTO THE AUDIENCE THAT IS THE COOLEST OMG

Instead of madame correcting thenardier on cosette’s name he asks cosette herself which prompts the CUTEST ANGRY YELL OF “it’s cosette!” I HAVE EVER SEEN

also thenardier fuckin MANHANDLING cosette i’m DYING

JVJ LOVES HER SM I AM SOFTTT

(The Beggars)

omg marius is so ADORABLE i love him

gavroche is a style icon

kid holding sign saying “my mom got laid off” POOR BB

i love éponine

that’s it that’s the note

wait a sec was that montparnasse with the prostitute earlier in beggars??

ALSO I SEE AZELMA AND OTHER THENARDIER KIDS PRESENT FOR “turn on the tears!!” THANK YOU FOR UTILIZING THAT LINE PROPERLY

why does enj have a bat?? If it;s not a bat then,,,what is it? someone please help me

marius saves cosette from bad guy gang!! 🥰🥰

bruh javert misses jvj running by like,,,MAYBE two seconds that is hilarious 

jav looks so done when thenardier is trying to get out of this lmao i love it

javert looks so cop-like it scares me

(Stars)

the line “safe behind bars” in stars kind of kills me here because as the audience you SEE the cruelty that the convicts face. you see the guy on the ground getting beaten you SEE the chains around their throats and yet. yet javert still somehow thinks that putting jvj in jail is safe? i think the thing to focus on here is not whether it’s safe, because it obviously isn’t. the focus is who it’s safer for, jean valjean or javert?

has it always been “your father” rather than “her father” when marius asks éponine to find where cosette lives?? if they changed it that is SMART because yk. jvj would be ALARMED if he found out he’d been found by éponine but he wouldn’t hurt her. he’s not the guy she has to worry about, it’s her own father. thenardier gave her a job and she’s straying from it, he’s what would endanger her.

THE PLAYFUL BOOP AND SHOVE FROM MARIUS 🥺🥺🥺

(The ABC Café)

“note-ruh daym”

hee hee pretty enjolras

pretty enjolras in skinny jeans even better

OOH we have,,,angry enjolras in this version o k a y

grantaire raises his hand before agog/aghast part omg

“i’ve never heard him ooOOOOh and aAAAAh *excited squeal*

“dan joo-wan” i love texas

bossuet spotted :)

longing gay looks NOT spotted :(

i love enjolras okay but this one is just,,,a little too aggressive. enjolras isn’t just angry all the time, he’s not that one dimensional. of course, there is more of the show to see and i hope he changes a little bit, but so far red and black isn’t doing much for me. enjolras is hopeful, not just angry.

A CAPELLA SECTION IN RED AND BLACK?? I think YES

the amis finding out lamarque is dead has “fuck trump just won the election” energy

okay i was hoping that enj would change his aggression thing when they find out lamarque is dead (bc that’s when most enjolrai figure out what may happen and kinda sober up yk) but. it doesn’t look like he did. there is hope for barricade scenes

OMG LIL NOTE ON COMBEFERRE GIVING OUT FLYERS TO AUDIENCE MEMBERS: that is fucking pERFECT and yk why?? because it’s a call to action!! it’s less obvious in DYHTPS because they’re mostly singing to each other but later in epilogue when the words and melody is repeated, it’s meant as a call to action! “will you join in our crusade, who will be strong and stand with me?” is a cALL TO ACTION AND THEY ARE HANDING FLYERS TO AUDIENCE MEMBERS—that’s officially the only way to break the fourth wall THANK YOU 

hey fantine doubles as a student i think!!

HARMONIES ARE C L E A N OOOOH

(In My Life-Heart Full Of Love)

okay yes i already love cosette because she plays awkward-teen-in-love-for-the-first-time PERFECTLY. 

book-ish cosette hell yes a cutie

father-daughter forehead kisses 🥺

awkward mARIUS TIMEEEEE

placing marius, éponine, and cosette in a triangle is a MARVELOUS decision thank u for that symbolism

marius checking if he looks good and ép giving him a thumbs up omg

*aggressively tries to sit normally* same cosette

*awkward curtsy* also same cosette 

(Attack On Rue Plumet)

robbery time let’s see how they do this

ooh marius and cosette run off but i can’t tell if they notice gang before running

thenardier fuckin SLICES éponine after her scream

NOOOO HER LIL WHIMPER AFTER BEING THREATENED AGAIN

(One Day More)

this lil part between robbery and one day more is interesting bc i legit have NO idea what jvj is thinking here. he keeps looking between his watch (i think it’s a watch idk) and cosette after she runs off to pack so like. what. is he doing here bc he looks like he’s choosing between two things but i don’t,,know,,what things

red berets on the amis are dope btw

i think marius is discussing what to do with éponine here, which is FUN because we all know why she goes to the barricade in the brick :’) éponine might be convincing marius to go to the barricade knowing this is her chance to die with him like in the book

omg

OMG

OMG

that stomp bit with the students was the coolest fucking thing i’ve ever seen

END OF ACT ONE

act two will be posted shortly :D

[leggomylino]

Svt review yeah that’s what I’ll call this-

@iiasha <3 I know you didn’t send an ask but to get the ball rolling I thought I’d turn the recs you gave me into a post bc well I need something to post 😂 so here we go!

p.s. y’all this is a future carat in the making so all you other carats pay attention u.u

Send me song recs and I’ll write a short review about them!

Let’s get this bread!!

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

Crap I love them already TAT The funny thing is I knew I would but I just never got around to actually giving them a listen until now and I’m so glad I did! I watched the dance practice MV for this one and it was cute and silly 😂 also gotta flex I was able to understand a tiny bit of what they were saying from my studies so that was fun 🎉 Also! As you said, the choreo was very good, it was really entertaining to watch and I was intrigued the whole time.✨ 

~ Don’t Wanna Cry, Seventeen

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

Once again another bread winner 😪 seriously their choreo is really captivating and fun to watch, it really looks like they’re telling a story and that’s how you know a group is really good. 

~ Now onto the unit-specific songs!! ~ (That’s really cool that they do this 😳)

** Hip-Hop/Rap line

~ Trauma, Seventeen

I think this one will grow on me the more I listen to it, I didn’t have any subtitles up (bc there weren’t any lol) but again I caught a few words here and there from my studies and the whole video was very metaphoric. I was able to get the message just off the emotion they conveyed in their voices alone. We stan talent.

~ If I, Seventeen (am I going to type out the group name every time? Yes.)

...You have no idea how much I related to this song omgosh. The whole “what if I just”/”but maybe I could”/”if I did this, then-” ugh wow. I got a collage of mini flashbacks from high school and other blasts from the past. 😅 Sigh...

** Vocal line (MY FAV YAAAAY omgosh wait is Joshua gonna be in this one?!)

~ Pinwheel, Seventeen

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

EVERYONE SHUT UP THIS WAS SO PRETTY also can I just say really crafty and clever singing about the distant future bc you never know what’s going to happen so it’s “safe”...does that make sense? No?? Okay nvm ANYWAY I really liked this I mean, even before anyone started singing I was like “oop pretty piano introduction it’s a winner winner chicken dinner fam” 😩😩 Really loving that nice piano and the whole metaphor with the wind going on. It reminded me of Long Kiss Goodbye from Naruto bc the ending AMV for it had a group of female characters holding pinwheels and looking nostalgically emo at the beach or on the doc overlooking a lake (from what I remember).

This one had me concerned a few times and the ending kinda scared me I was like...”why they all laying on the ground is the apocalypse about to start I--” 😂 😅 nonetheless it was still pretty catchy and there were some really cool dance moves in it, the whole thing flowed very well like water.

~ Highlight, Seventeen

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

I watched the 13 member ver. for this one. It was, again, a really interesting and captivating choreography and idk why but I really liked the end where one of the members put their finger up and they all stared at it, then he flicked it away like a magic wand and they all dispersed their separate ways like regular people crossing a busy street. It was aesthetically pleasing to see lol.

~ Back to group songs! I think...? ~

~ Good To Me (okay I’ll stop writing out the name now LOL)

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

Well this was just a bop and a half. Again, great choreo too. I liked the lowkey tension going on between what’s-his-name and the other guy too, how they were on opposite sides almost the entire time. Idk if that was intentional or not but it made things really interesting. B))

~ Hit

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

HOLY SON OF A BISCUIT THIS WAS FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 I MEAN ABSOLUTE FIRE WHAT THE HECK where have I been? 😩😩 Also for some reason this made me think “bro what if all the top dancers in like the top 10 or 20 kpop groups got together and did a mass choreo to end all choreo performances like...how amazing would that be???” I mean you get these guys and throw in Minho and Felix from Stray Kids and maybe a couple BTS boys like Jimin and J-Hope and OMGOSH HAVE YOU SEEN QUEEN CHUNG HA MOVE guuuuuurl it would be SPECTACULAR 🌟

~ Fronting

Well I mean dayum this was kinda spitfire too? I may come back and download this one as well sheesh.

~ Thinking About You

I did like this one but not as much as the others? Again the choreo was fun to watch. I think that’s what I’m enjoying most of all oops ^^”

~ Let Me Hear You Say

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

This one was cute~ I felt like for having so many members they did a decent job of dividing up all the lines too. And with that...

We have concluded this Seventeen review 😞😞 The verdict?

Now I gotta go out and buy a dang album and start reading the wiki pages. So thanks for that 😒❤️

LOL I’m just kidding I’m very excited that I found this new group and that you helped me on this...mini journey...?...to discovering them YAY 🥳 That’s all for now Celi over n’ out 💫✌️

[beepboops2]

What do you think of the new hero?

Things I like: - Finally, a new male hero- dark-skinned POC yaaaay- Support hero, cool- Caribbean country representation = awesomeThings I’m not too crazy about: - Design; not his physical features, more his gear/playstyle- the fact that DPS still sneaks its way into a support character (this trend hasn’t disappeared since Moira or Brigitte)Overall: NeutralHe’s more interesting to me than the last 3 heroes combined. I just hope they don’t skimp on him like they did with Ashe and actually have him interact with other characters because his backstory ties into the overall story and not just a single hero. Interactions are some of the most decent things about this game and lately they’ve been pretty p00p in quality.

Excluding those two months, my average return on capital at risk was 1. 6% for a total annual return of 16. 4%What�s worth noting is, even though my average capital at risk was $186,000/month, my trade duration was, on average less than two weeks. Meaning I only had $96k of capital at risk at any one time, rather than $186k. I would close the existing trades before entering the new trades, and thus, recycle the same capital. Why is that important?Because it doubles my return to 32. 8% instead of 16. 4% (29,753 divided by 96k instead of 186k). But putting these accounting shenanigans aside, let�s see what the more conservative calculation of a 16. 4% return means. If I had invested my $186,000 into the S&P500 last July, I would have gained 5% ($9,300) as that�s the amount the index was up over that period.

making money trading options Arkansas If you bought at $15, you still get some considerable upside, but you can miss out on additional gains.

If you�re unsure of which way the stock will move, but think there�ll be a decent move in either direction, there are strategies for that. And if you think the market is in a downtrend, just use those strategies! And these strategies have some pretty cool names: iron condor, bull call spread, calendar straddle, and iron butterfly. Okay, so that all sounds fancy pancy, but what is an actual stock option?�Simply put, a stock option contract gives the holder the right to buy or sell a set number of shares for a pre-determined price over a defined time frame. �Investopedia. comIt�s pretty straight forward. You can think of it as an insurance policy. If you�re a portfolio manager, managing someone�s retirement money, then you may think its a good idea to protect your portfolio against a significant drop. If the S&P 500 is trading at around 3,000, then perhaps you�ll want to protect against a decline of more than 20%. This protection can be achieved by purchasing options contracts at the price of 2,400 (20% below the current market). What�s remarkable is that you or I can be the one selling the options contract in that example. All we need to do is place a sell order on an options exchange.

options trading podcast Arkansas I realize how little I know and that I�m merely scratching the surface of the knowledge I need to feel fully confident in trading options for a living.

Considering my annual living costs are around $40,000, that�s REAL money. My one-year-old is next to me, clapping his hands and drooling while standing in his walker. He�s PUMPED. I reward him with a tummy tickle and he laughs. In my previous life, my job was to trade stocks for large institutions. I did it for over ten years. It was pretty straight forward. I�d get lots of orders to buy shares, and I�d push the buttons to execute. I�d then get lots of orders to sell and would push a different set of buttons. I got exceptionally talented at this button-pushing thing. I even wore a necktie once in a while to feel important while doing it. Not surprisingly, I GOT SICK of pushing the damn buttons. And I fantasized about making money from home instead. I read success stories of people starting a side hustle that allowed them to quit their job. I even knew a couple. But I couldn�t figure out what my side hustle superpower could be until I stumbled upon options trading. Trading options was something I considered for people with insane levels of intelligence. And unfortunately, that isn�t me. When I took the GMAT exams to apply for grad school, I scored in the top ten percentile for verbal (Yaaaay English Lit Class!) but the bottom ten for math. People were shocked when they found I worked in finance. Not surprisingly, I didn�t end up applying for grad school�But I said f*ck it. I�m gonna see if I can learn this options trading thing. And a year after trying it out, I�ve made $29,753. Here�s how it all went down. Discovering Stock OptionsI love reflecting on significant life changes you can pinpoint to a single event � that so-called fork in the road. In this story, it was a chance meeting with my first boss in the financial industry.

I bought a single Nikola put contract which did well. My logic for buying the put was that more evidence around Nikola�s fraudulent practices were emerging. I followed this stock for weeks before finally deciding to get started. I still buy Nikola puts to this day and will likely continue buying puts until the stock gets delisted. Due to Nikola�s premiums being higher than the average stock, I buy puts set to expire in 5�8 days. For stocks with lower premiums, I�ll buy options with further out expiration dates. The further your expiration date, the more time you have for the stock to move in your direction. There are a variety of risky options trading strategies such as buying an option on its expiration date that can quickly deplete your money. If you want to give the stock additional time to move in your direction, buy a closer to the money option with a further out expiration date. You�ll pay more for it, but the extra time is worth it. For a guide on what to not do with options, check out the article below. The Riskiest Way To Invest In StocksThis strategy is entertaining to watch but extremely stressful to implementProtect Your Portfolio From Downside With PutsOne of the best ways to buy options is through hedging. If you own shares of a company and are nervous about the short-term outlook, you can buy a put to cap your losses. This strategy is great for a few key reasons:#1: You don�t panic sell or end up selling a stock you wish you held onto. This has happened to me a few times before buying options. #2: If the stock goes down, you can hold onto the shares and eventually sell the put. The put will shield you from most of your losses. #3: If the stock goes up, your put will lose value and eventually expire worthless, but it took off a lot of stress from your shoulders. You could focus on other things instead of worrying about the stock price or panic selling your shares. If the stock price isn�t likely to hit the strike price of your put, you can sell the put early to protect yourself from some of those losses. The protective put that attributed to most of my gains thus far was a protective Fastly put. I bought this put right before Fastly lowered their revenue guidance and the stock tumbled in after hours. I talked more about Fastly�s after hours tumble and explained how I�ve been playing the stock moving forward. The stock went down $33. 48 by the end of the day. My $500 put turned into $3,083. 24 by the time I sold it which shielded my losses by $25. 82/share. So rather than losing $33. 48/share, I only lost $7. 66/share because of the protective put.

While at work one day, Suzy reached out, saying he was in Hong Kong with his family (where I was working at the time) and wanted to catch up for a beer.

I was both excited and curious to see what he was up to. After the usual formalities and a beer in, I asked him. He responded by saying, �I trade options for a living. �I was confused. My face resembled a deer in headlights doing a Derek Zoolander impression. He tried to explain the gist of it, but it was way over my head.

Just a month earlier, that number would have been in negative territory as the index was lower. In contrast, I locked in my revenue after each options trade was closed. I love that my profit is a real number added to the cash portion in my brokerage account rather than an abstraction based on the market trending higher. Another point to note regarding the capital at risk is that it doesn�t need to be sitting in your account in the form of cash. It will absolutely provide peace of mind if that�s the case, but you can invest it as you like to boost your returns. When I started this a year ago, my broker was paying me 1.

-clark just. ran to honduras. i lov him

-oh. lionel is here

-official smallville pig count: 2. it’s WILD that it’s taken this long and now we’re on a pig every episode rate

-whoa i think a guy falling on a circular saw and taking like 30 seconds to die is the grisliest death smallville has ever had

-now watch as despite lana stealing his car and also breaking into his house lex is completely fine with her cause that’s normal and healthy

-side note: i think my problem with the whole “i am entitled to your secret i cannot stand all these lies” thing comes from being a gay. like, no one is obligated to come out of the closet and Clark’s Secret feels a lot like that to me

-side note part two: how has literally no one on this show wondering about Clark’s Secret thought “oh, maybe he’s queer”? fucking wild, although maybe i should be thankful cause i don’t see that being done respectfully

-little girl just fucking murdered some fish by smashing all the glass in the house including their tank with her miiiiind poooooowers

-oh sweet lord i forgot how lovely clark is with kids

-lana: you must really trust me. lex: 100% me: she stole your car LAST EPISODE

-KRYPTO IS BACK but for some reason is called shelby now i guess??? okay???

-lois is as bad with kids as clark is good. excellent, great, wonderful. such rich pairing material

-lex getting aol video messages this is a noughties period drama

-evil guy with glass powers killed the fish not the little girl so we’re allowed to like her i guess

- do uh, diamonds count as glass now?

-clark adopting super powered kids is everything i want from this show

-this lex and lana storyline is making me actively look forward to when she is written out he’s been perving on her since she was FIFTEEN

-lana: what are we doing? lex: i thought we were enjoying an evening of chess. that exchange doesn’t really really need any input from me it’s already perfect

-the villain of this episode basically just hates capitalism which is fair. but also they murder people. not fair

-also they have a tinfoil face for some reason

-whoa. does... does lionel shave his armpits?

-lex is STILL trying to find “common ground” with clark cause he still loves him

-my boy broke through a wall then caught a lift this is what i’m here for

-bad guy took of his mask and lionel gasps but i’m there like “i have literally no idea who that is”

-lex luthor is what tony stark could have been we should be very glad he’s iron man instead. i just really love tony stark okay

-i pretty much unironically love the theme song now

-oh clark has a new ~mystery~ sugar daddy now

-lois is doing crunches whilst doing politics and i’m not sure who to thank or what i did to deserve this but OH BOY OH MAN OH WOW

-”clark kent is afraid of heights” is the best running joke this show has set up

-lois continues to have absolutely horrible taste in men and that is not just because she hasn’t shown interest in clark (or alternatively me) yet

-jfc lois just poured nearly an entire thing of sugar into her coffee. you don’t need to drink the bean juice if you need that much sugar babe, come join me in the leaf water corner

-alright by the 15th pun surely someone would have worked out that this guy is a hitman? i mean “it can get a little cutthroat”???

-he just invited lois to a coldplay concert. PERIOD DRAMA

-mmmmmm a classic hard thing shattering against clark shot whilst somehow leaving his clothes undamaged literally my favourite

-lois in the shower! CLARK SEEING LOIS NAKED! yeeeeeeeeees the episode is SO GOOD

-lois takes hour and a half long showers. i love her so much

-lois: why can’t i meet a decent guy from a decent family? me, openly weeping: YOU ALREADY HAVE

-mum kent finishing up the episode being completely right about absolutely everything yet again

-daddy kent shows up at his own grave (extremely extra) to tell clark to kill daddy luthor and he says it because lionel is gonna do something terrible but we all know its because dad kent is missing dad luthor and wants to have homoerotic arguments with him in the afterlife

-mum kent: jonathan, you know you’re the only man i’ve ever loved. me: well that’s not a very straight thing to say

-i haven’t had much to say about this episode cause i’ve been eating my tea whilst watching but i’m not convinced for a second that clark is actually gonna kill someone

-tractor throwing! yaaaay! now we know for sure it isn’t the real dad kent. he spent so long fixing the damn thing he would never just throw it at clark and break it again

-doctor: well lex you’ve never been healthier. me: seriously what happened to the blood purification thing. i genuinely don’t remember that ever being resolved

-lex: clark’s specialty is barging in where he isn’t invited. me: EXCUSE ME? E X C U S E  M E??? that is the most hypocritical thing i’ve ever heard anyone on this show say holy shit

-lois just referenced the night stalker. i see you babe. my girl is into true crime

-i’m actually so excited for Andrew Jacoby, Duke of Kenilworth to show up as general zod but that might actually be ages yet idk

-DO NOT RING PEOPLE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING

-”i’ll be there tonight” why do fictional people always say this? “tonight” is such a wide bracket of time

-i’m not even gonna talk about lana’s arc this season

-clark just got sent to the phantom zone so that’s fun. no, not fun. what’s the opposite of fun?

-ooooooo, nice use of stock footage of riots

-i have no idea why people are actually rioting but it’s certainly injecting some drama into the last minutes of the season

-lana’s doing her big romantic speech to lex but the whole city is rioting and it doesn’t really seem like the time

-clark is gonna have to save an awful lot of people really fast at the start of the next season when this cliffhanger is resolved

I don’t know what this is. There’s not enough Fakehaus fics out there, and I’ve always thought Achievement Hunter’s clear favoritism of Elyse was adorable. Pairings are Fakehaus OT7 and Fake AH OT7, with soulmate marks added in. Elyse’s relationship with AH is entirely familial, but I thought it would be interesting/different if she grew up with the Fakes kind of like her family, works for Geoff as she grows up but sort of as a sort of sideman, jack of all trades who helps get done any inconspicuous work the crew needs done. Then her soulmates end up being the Fake’s enemys so angst, yaaaay.

Warning: Child abuse, violence

  Los Santos was a tough place to grow up, but for an orphan, it was hell on earth.

 Elyse is seven years old when her parents don’t show up to pick her up from school.  It’s November, and she’s bundled in a puffy jacket and beanie, shivering as she watches her breathe come out in puffs of smoke.  With every passing second, she becomes more on edge. Her parents were never late, and they didn’t allow her to walk home from school.  It was asking for your child to be kidnapping. She knew the dangers, but she was a sitting duck waiting outside the school, and with every minute that ticked by, the sun got closer and closer to setting, and her situation became more dire.

At 5 pm, she broke into a run.

There was a knot in her chest, gnawing her insides to pieces. Her legs burned, her chest heaved, but she didn’t stop until she was at her doorstep, standing in front of the ajar door.  A whimper escaped her throat as she took a step inside.

She would never forget the sight of the bright, bright red blood running down the normally softly glowing soulmate marks on their arms, forever a dull, empty black.

 The first time she meets Geoff Ramsey, it’s nearly Christmas.  

A thick, heavy snow has settled over Los Santos, and she can’t remember what its like to be warm.  She’s always sniffling, always coughing, face flushed. Everything hurts, and all she can think is survive, survive, survive.  She can’t remember the last time she ate, and one minute she’s curled behind a dumpster, the next she’s outside a decent little home with no cars in the driveway, hurling a brick through the window with the last of her strength.

She can’t stop herself from popping open a soup can right then and there, chugging it as fast as she can, freezing only when she hears angry voices outside.  She runs to the back door, hands fumbling to turn the lock and dart back to the streets.  In this city, most people were begging for an excuse to be violent, to shed the pain they felt onto others, and in a swift motion, she was lifted into the air only to be slammed on the ground, two men sneering down at her, reeking of booze. She couldn’t breathe as they laughed above her, a sharp kick to her side causing a pained sob to escape her throat.

“H-Help…!” The word came out in another hysterical, pained sob, but no one was coming for her. She knew it, and so did they.  If she had anyone to look out for her, she wouldn’t have been stealing soup.  

“No, no, no now girlie, should have thought about that before ya stole from us.” Another laugh, a sharp, predatory grin. “This is gonna be fun.” The heel of his shoe ground painfully into her hand, her cries ignored.

Then there was a click, a flash of cold metal behind them.

”You’re going to go crawl back to whatever hole you came out of, or I’m going to blow your fucking brains out.” The voice was icy cold, dripping with venom, but noticeably young. The men froze and carefully removed his foot from the tiny blonde.  She glanced up with teary eyes at her savior and was surprised to find a teenage boy with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. Her attackers seemed just as surprised, and the bolder of the two scoffed, a cocky smirk tugging at his lips. “Please, kid, did your mom drop you off here?  Why don’t you hand over that gun before you get hurt.  That’s not a toy, ya know. “ He took a threatening step forward. There was no hesitation as the teen’s finger pulled the trigger.

“You should run now,” He spoke nonchalantly, and the other man wasted no time in fleeing as fast as he could go.

Elyse whimpered, unable to control her violent shaking, but this time it wasn’t because of the cold. She wanted to run, but even if she could, she was too scared to do anything but cower as low to the ground as she could as the teen put himself between her and the body and knelt beside her.

“Hey, hey… It’s alright, I’m not going to hurt you… I’m sorry you had to see that… ” His  voice was soft, gentle, and when she gathered the courage to nervously glance up at him, she realized the cold expression was gone. “You’re hurt pretty bad, why don’t we get you fixed up, huh?”

She knows she should be scared. She knows she should say no. He’s a stranger who just shot a man right in front of her and didn’t even flinch. But she’s so, so tired, tired of hurting, tired of being scared every second of every day, just tired.

She sniffles and gives a weak nod.

He lifts her up, leaving the dead body to bleed into the snow.
