Why Perth’s Excel Courses Are the Best for Learning Advanced Excel Features

Excel is a powerful tool, and mastering its advanced features can significantly enhance productivity. Excel Courses in Perth, offered by Perth Software, focus on these advanced features, providing learners with a comprehensive understanding of Excel’s capabilities.

Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts

One of the most powerful features taught in advanced Excel courses is the ability to create Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts. Pivot Tables allow you to organize and summarize large datasets into easy-to-read tables. This is particularly useful for analyzing data trends, which can be critical for business decision-making.

For example, a sales manager might use a Pivot Table to summarize sales data by region and product type, helping to visualize which regions are performing best. Pivot Charts then provide a graphical representation of this data, making trends even clearer.

Macros and Automation

Automation is a key skill you’ll gain from Excel courses in Perth. By learning to create Excel Macros, you can automate repetitive tasks, saving both time and effort. Macros allow you to record a series of actions and then execute them with a single command. This can range from simple formatting to complex data processing tasks.

For instance, if you frequently run a report that involves multiple steps—filtering data, formatting tables, and generating a graph—a Macro can complete all of this with one click. The courses at Perth Software focus on teaching you how to build efficient macros, a valuable skill for professionals.

Data Analysis with Power Query and Power Pivot

Excel’s Power Query and Power Pivot are advanced tools used for handling large amounts of data. Power Query allows you to clean, transform, and load data from multiple sources, while Power Pivot enables you to create sophisticated data models. These tools are essential for financial analysts, accountants, and data professionals.

For example, a financial analyst might use Power Pivot to merge financial data from various departments, allowing them to see an organization’s full financial health. These skills, once learned through advanced Excel courses, enable you to work more efficiently with complex datasets.

Advanced Formulas and Functions

Excel is well known for its formulas, but in advanced courses, you’ll learn to use more complex functions like VLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, and IFERROR. These formulas enable you to search for specific data points, handle errors, and perform detailed calculations with ease.

For example, you can use the VLOOKUP function to cross-reference data between different sheets, saving time that would otherwise be spent manually finding information. The INDEX/MATCH combination provides even more flexibility for retrieving data from large datasets.

Perth Software offers tailored Excel Courses in Perth that focus on these advanced features, helping professionals gain practical skills that they can immediately apply in the workplace. Whether you’re a business owner, a financial analyst, or an office manager, advanced Excel training equips you with tools to work more efficiently, automate tasks, and make data-driven decisions.

Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1910 – 1996) is considered one of Australias most significant artists. Amazingly, she only began painting with acrylics in her late seventies but in a few short years became an artist of national and international standing.

Emily was the first female painter to emerge from an art movement dominated by men and did so in a way that transformed Aboriginal painting. Employing a variety of styles over the course of her eight-year painting career, she painted her Country and sacred Dreamtime stories in a deeply emotional and expressive manner.

She was born around 1910 at Alhalkere (Soakage Bore), on the edge of the Utopia pastoral station, approximately 250km north-east of Alice Springs. Alhalkere was her fathers Country, and her mothers Country was Alhalpere, just to the east.

Despite being married twice, she had no children of her own but raised her relative Lily Sandover Kngwarreye and her niece Barbara Weir. Both becoming famous artists in their own right. Other nieces that also became famous artists include Gloria Petyarre, Kathleen Petyarre, Ada Bird Petyarre, Violet Petyarre and Nancy Petyarre.

Well before she became one of its most senior contemporary artists, Emily held a unique status within her community of Utopia. Her strong personality and past employment as a stock hand on pastoral properties in the area (at a time when women were only employed for domestic duties), reveals her forceful independence and trailblazing character.

Her age and ceremonial status also made her a senior member of the Anmatyerre language group. She was a senior custodian of cultural sites of her fathers country. She was considered the Boss Woman of the Alatyeye (pencil yam dreaming) and Kame (yam seed dreaming).

Emily started as a traditional ceremonial artist, beginning painting as a young woman as part of her cultural education. An important component of this education was learning the womens ceremonies, which are associated with in-depth knowledge of the Dreamtime stories and of womens social structures.

This knowledge is known as Awelye in Anmatyerre language. Awelye also refers to the intricate designs and symbols associated with womens rituals. These are applied to the womens upper chest, breasts and arms using fingers or brushes dipped into rich desert ochres.

Aboriginal art outside of ceremonial painting began in Utopia in 1977, when batik-making was introduced to women as part of an extended government-funded education program. In 1978, Emily was a founding member of the Utopia Womens Batik Group. In 1988, the Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) completed its first project with the Utopia Womens Batik Group. This became an exhibition called Utopia - A Picture Story.

From the beginning, Emilys art stood out from the others. Rather than filling her batiks with Aboriginal symbols, she preferred patterns of layered lines and dots that revealed plant, figurative forms and cell like structures. The 88 silk batiks from this first project were acquired by the Holmes a Court Collection in Perth.

In the same year the CAAMA shop initiated The Summer Project, introducing the Utopia womens batik group to the use of acrylic paints on canvas. Among the 81 paintings completed was Emilys first artwork on canvas, Emu Woman.

Inspired by the many Dreamtime stories of which she was a custodian, Emily employed an extraordinary array of styles over the course of her eight-year painting career.

In her early works, Emily preferred the use of an earthy ochre colour palette, reflecting her experience of using natural ochres during ceremonies. Over time she expanded her repertoire to include a dazzling array of colours found in the desert landscape. Colours are significant in her paintings. Yellow, for example, often symbolises the season when the desert earth begins to dry up and the Kame (yam seeds) are ripe.

Her shifting styles also reveal her self-confidence and willingness to experiment with form, pictorial space and artistic conventions. She drew creatively from the geographic landmarks that traverse her Country and the Dreaming stories that define it. Whenever she was asked to explain her paintings, her answer was always the same:

Whole lot, that's the whole lot. Awelye (my Dreamings), Alatyeye (pencil yam), Arkerrthe (mountain devil lizard), Ntange (grass seed), Tingu (a Dreamtime pup), Ankerre (emu), Intekwe (a favorite food of emus, a small plant), Atnwerle (green bean), and Kame (yam seed). That's what I paint; the whole lot.

This is because she chose to present a very broad picture of the land and how it supports the Anmatyerre way of life. Her artworks embrace the whole life story of the Dreamtime, seeds, flowers, wind, sand and everything. Although her works relate to the modern art tradition, this resemblance is purely visual. The emphasis in Emilys paintings is on the spiritual meaning, based in the tradition of her people.

The evolving styles of Emily Kame Kngwarreyes paintings

Emily started to paint in 1988. Her early style featured visible linear tracings following the tracks of the Kame (Yam Dreaming) and animal prints associated with the Emu Dreaming. Fields of fine dots partially obscured symbolic elements.

By 1992 her paintings were so densely packed with layers of dots that her symbolic underpainting was no longer visible.

Another evolution in her painting style occurred when she began to use large brushes. She worked faster, more loosely and on a larger scale. Sometimes dragging the brush while she dotted, producing lines from the sequential dots.

By the mid 1990s she had pioneered a style of Aboriginal painting referred to as dub dub works. They were created by using large brushes which were laden with paint and then pushed into the canvas in such a way that the bristles part and the paint is mixed on the canvas.

Using this technique, she created wildly colourful artworks and her paintings became progressively more abstract. Different artists from Utopia including Polly Ngale and Freddy Purla have subsequently adopted this style.

During the last two years of her life, she used the linear patterns found on womens ceremonial body designs as the primary inspiration for her paintings. The abstracted sequential dots of colour gave way to parallel lines which were much more formally arranged. She had used lines earlier before gradually submerging them under layers of dots. This time, she created simple, bold compositions of parallel lines in strong dark colours.

The above style in turn evolved to looser meandering lines which appear to trace the shapes of the grasses and the roots of the pencil yam as they forge their way through the desert sands.

In 1996 she produced a body of work in which she depicted pencil yam dreaming using a rich ochre colour palette. In this final burst of creative energy, Emily produced a beautiful body of work known as her scribble phase. In these atmospheric paintings, lines and dots were replaced by flowing fields of colour.

Old QL Game

Rules: Think about the oldest BLs you've ever watched. They have to have been released prior to 2020. Now name 5 - 10 iconic scenes that you cannot forget.

Tagged by @italianpersonwithashippersheart and @thisonelikesaliens Thanks so much!

This was hard to narrow down to just a few, so I tried to show a varied sample, so to speak. Feels appropriate to start at the very beginning with my first bl.

Seven Days: Monday - Thursday (2015)

I love all of it. It's hard to pick a moment. But this whole scene was a lot. The tension, the disappointment when they talk about the phone numbers, on both sides, then Yuzuru's anger out of the blue, well not really but also yes, and then Seiryo's 'breaking up' with Shino on the phone because he found someone he cares more about. So many emotions.

Love Sick (2014)

"It barely takes any time to fall in love, so why does it hurt so much to say goodbye?" That's it.

Long Time No See (2017)

The confrontation. This was rough. And the look on Chi Soo walking away broke my heart.

Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey 2 (2017)

I love Rome's confidence.

The Novelist (2018)

Just him, in this moment. I went on a journey with Kijima. So many feelings for him, but this is where I felt like I really saw him for the first time.

Love by Chance (2018)

Baby Perth. I could've picked a bunch of different ones for them but today it was this one. Tomorrow probably the football field. Or the tote bag attack. Really, could've been so many.

No Touching At All (2014)

The first time I watched this was for my OJBL project and this scene has never again left my brain. I've seen this film like 3 times but maybe it's time for another.

HIStory2: Right or Wrong (2018)

She told all her friends and teachers!!! 😢😢😢

Ok. That's enough for now. My brain is gone. I've been tagging a lot of people in these games so I know y'all must be sick of me but I gotta do it again, if for no other reason than to share my picks. Also I don't know who's done this so, if you have, tag me in yours so I can see. Anyway you can ignore this if you don't feel like playing. No pressure as usual. @dramalove247 @nabi-unveiled @ginnymoonbeam @abstractelysium @yannig @callipigio @respectthepetty @purlpeiris @he-is-lightning-in-a-bottle and of course if you see this and wanna play consider yourself tagged by me and tag me in your post so I can see. 💜💜💜

Now, Carl Barat is finally back on the scene!

The Libertines went on indefinite hiatus after their last performance in Paris in December 2004, but Carl Barat was the central figure and driving force behind this historic band that drastically changed the UK scene.

Needless to say, he had many bitter experiences along the way, but the Dirty Pretty Things' debut album, "Waterloo to Anywhere," is packed with reasons why he continues to make music. Starting with Deadwood, which has a driving guitar line and a rhythmic, powerful beat that will lift your spirits, this album is full of dynamic rock and roll that will keep you glued to your seat, just like Carl Barat's determination to keep moving forward without stopping.

As many of you may know, the band name "Dirty Pretty Things" was originally the name of his club event. When I interviewed him about The Libertines' second album "Libertine Revolution" in Perth in the early summer of 2004, he told me about this event. At the time, Pete was already struggling with the Libertines, so I asked him what he was going to do, and we talked about the event he was organizing in London. Of course, at this time there was no sign yet of the band "Dirty Pretty Things", and that's why Carl's commitment to this project carries so much weight.

Let's take a quick look back at what Carl has been up to since The Libertines took a break. In January 2005, he underwent a successful operation to remove a tumor that had developed behind his ear. He needed at least two months of rest, but looking back from what he said later, it seems that he had been working on a lot of songs for this album during that time. In February, he appeared in good health for the first time in a long while at the NME Awards, and shortly afterwards, he announced that he had signed with Vertigo, a subsidiary of Mercury, and would be releasing a "solo album" by the end of the year, with arrangements by Alan McGee (President of Pop Tones and former founder of Creation), who had been managing him since The Libertines. At the time, there was a theory that he was also working on a band with former members of The Libertines, which caused some confusion, but it was soon revealed that former The Libertines drummer Gary Powell and Anthony Rossomondo, who had joined as a support guitarist after leaving The Beat, were members of Carl's "new band." In September, bassist Didz Hammond, a member of The Cooper Temple Clause, joined the band, forming the current four-piece lineup. Didz met Carl at the Reading Festival, and later helped The Libertines with a show in Germany that Pete did not participate in, and this is said to have been the catalyst for the two of them to become closer.

Dirty Pretty Things then toured five cities in Italy and Brazil in October. They performed songs from their time with The Libertines as well as songs from this album. It was reported that they held a concert in Paris where they met with producers Dave Sardy (who has worked on Oasis' latest album, among others) and Nigel Godrich (who is said to be the "sixth member" of Radiohead and has recently worked on Paul McCartney's new album), and it gradually seemed more likely that they would begin recording.

"It was good to get out of London and make a record somewhere else," Didz said.

"Yeah, I didn't want to do it in London anyway." (Carl)

"There's not much work to be done in London." (Didz)

Carl and Didz looked back on the recording in an interview held in London at the end of March. Recording for this album started in November in Los Angeles. The aforementioned Dave Sardy, who lives in the same city, produced the album here.

"I listened to the songs that Dave had worked on and thought he was a producer who could produce a good overall sound. I thought he could express the characteristics of our sound well on the record. I felt that way especially after listening to two songs on the latest Oasis album." (Didz)

"He came forward and said he'd love to produce for us, so he came to see me in Bali. I looked at the list of bands he'd worked with, and they were all well-recorded albums. At the time, I thought he might be a bit more American, but when he told me he'd worked with Oasis, I was relieved. So I decided to ask him." (Carl)

As an aside, when I interviewed Tim Burgess of The Charlatans (who lives in Los Angeles) the other day, he told me that he often visited the studio where Carl was recording in Los Angeles, and that he had written some great songs. Tim looked after Carl like an older brother when Carl visited Los Angeles after a falling out with Pete, and they later formed a band called the Chavs. Tim's presence in Los Angeles must have helped Carl relax during the recording.

There is another producer on this album. Tony Doogan is a leading figure in the Glasgow music scene, and has worked with a variety of musicians, from Belle & Sebastian to Delgados, Mogwai, and Quruli's latest album "NIKKI." The Castle of Doom studio that the Dirty Pretty Things used in Glasgow for this album is a private studio that Tony Doogan built with Mogwai.

"(The reason I asked Tony) is because Carl is a Belle and Sebastian fan." (Didz)

"No, I like the album, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan." (Carl)

"So, I like Mogwai and Delgados. But when his name was mentioned as a producer, I thought maybe I should avoid him. But I was wrong, because when I asked him, everything worked out." (Didz)

Both Dave Sardy and Tony Doogan are professionals who excel at recording live sounds with a sense of urgency. Both of them had their own studios outside of London, but since it was a time when Peter was all the rage in the tabloids, Carl probably wanted to leave the hustle and bustle and record in peace, which is probably why he asked these two to do it.

By the way, the title Waterloo (a place name in London) is where Carl lives. The title was chosen because he spent a lot of time there writing the songs for this album. It probably represents the various places that Dirty Pretty Things physically visited for recording and live performances, but at the same time, I think it's a simple yet profound title that seems to represent the "imagination" of music transcending time and space, transcending place, and soaring endlessly.

Carl had been writing songs and playing in bands before The Libertines. I asked him how much the difference in the bands he was in influenced his songwriting. Here is his answer:

"No, there's no difference. I just write songs. I write songs as they come from my heart. I don't intentionally put them in a certain way or plan them out like 'I want to write a song like this...' Well, I'd like to write a song like that someday." (Carl)

In another interview, when asked if there were any new songs that were about The Libertines' hiatus, Carl replied, "Not directly." Still, when "Bang Bang You're Dead" was officially uploaded to the band's website for the first time, everyone was reminded of "that," and listening to it again as a song on the album is just as sad.

However, as is clear from the credits, the band's name is listed as the songwriting credit for each song on this album. In other words, I feel that this credit tells us more than anything that Carl himself never intended to write this as a "personal story," and that the songs, sounds, and energy that could only be created by this lineup are what they were able to produce. What do you think?

Last February, they held a secret live show in London, where members of Cooper Temple Clause and John Hassall, member of Yeti and ex-member of The Libertines, showed up. Since all the members of Dirty Pretty Things are "former so-and-so's," it was dazzling to see their former bandmates celebrating their departure. On the other hand, this album also makes it clear that Carl, who sings a passionate yet somewhat sexy rock'n'roll sound backed up by the members' chorus, is now looking only to the future.

Having witnessed the "end of hope," we want to congratulate the people involved in this situation, walking forward with confidence, and we would like to give our heartfelt praise to Carl for creating such a wonderful sound. We hope to see them perform in Japan as soon as possible.

I’m done my first preliminary presentation!!!

Since its a class project I can share bit and piece of my whitecard model (crappy stage model lol not the final one) to you

The set design is for 12th night from Shakespeare. My concept is a submerged world under the waterz and yeah it’s too big. I did not match my design to the given theatre at all…..it’s good for like a massive Opera production. Gonna be one of the best to put in my portfolio but nob not for this scale. My director tutor is so helpful and nice. She read me like a book and challenge me on things that I’m lacking of

The past month been bombastic work because I’m doing everything from illustrator perspective. I had no idea how set design work (nor I know that I’m sign up for set design at all in the first 3 week…….) everything is new but I’m getting there. This is like one of the nicest group of people I ever met. So kind easygoing but eve try one so busy all the time lol

My stamina is like 15% left every night but I hope it’s charge next week. And I hope I could tell some story about being set&costume design. May be I’ll write something next week or on the semester break

Btw I just found out that the course I’m getting into is one of the most hard to get in in Perth…….😂 everyone on the cafe is so shock cuz me and my mum keep saying that the school name is so similar to wooper burger. They just face palm looking at us like a mad people. I’m not being disrespectful I just enter the course because I’m want to do it. Purely want to work as costume designer and I sign up for it without research or anything. My plan was that if they not let me in I’ll work up for it and nagging them again next year…..guess they like my attitude lol

[theresoneicouldcallking]

ok my thoughts on GMMTV2025, somewhat chaotic but i tried;

we're getting a firstkhaotung cat café series?! this is way too adorable and they deserve every bit of this! finally a lighthearted, fluffy romcom for them. i mean there's gonna be some drama and angst cause we all saw khao's lip quiver doing the works, but still! firstkhaotung and cats. it's perfect!

only friends season 2 YAAAASSSS gotta be honest; i blacked out after i saw boston cause he is my favorite dysfunctional child so i had no idea what happened in the trailer after i saw him. had to rewatch it a few times on the tube lol. but earthmix?? jossgawin?? ohmleng?? count me in please! also i need cameos from the OG cast, and especially mark cause i need my bostonnick happy ending (again people; i will die on this hill!)

forcebook mystery series!! gmmtv saw the response to their PP episode and listened!! man force and book are gonna nail their roles. i have zero clues as to what this series is about but it looks hella interesting and it's forcebook so let's go!

joongdunk crime series THANK YOUUUU another cp graduating from university bl and diving straight into a much more mature one. this one looks really intriguing and i can't wait to see what joong and dunk will bring to this.

period drama for greatinn and aouboom 🙌🏼 greatinn are perfect for this, epsecially inn just has that perfect look for a series like this. gmmtv also hasn't done enough period dramas so i am really looking forward to this, despite all the hurt it's gonna bring us. now about aouboom, i'm not gonna lie; i am really disappointed gmmtv decided to shove them in the side couple role AGAIN, especially after seeing two other (newer) cp's getting multiple series next year. aouboom have proven themselves more than enough and they deserve their own series. BUT if they have to be the side couple again, i'm happy they're doing this period drama because they fit in so well! and i've wanted them in a show like this for ages so i'm looking forward to seeing them in this!

jimmysea in a fantasy series was not on my bingocard!! in fact; a jimmysea series in general wasn't on the table for me, so i was really pleasantly surprised to see them get another series. and man this one looks to be just as beautiful as last twilight. they are such an underrated cp and incredible actors. i'm sure i'm gonna cry again.

a goofy yet heartbreaking perthsanta series! i'm so happy to see perth getting a role like this! he's always cast and pictured as the brooding bad boy type, and i get it. but did people forget he started out in love by chance?? he can do roles like this, too, and i'm so happy he gets to play in a series like this one with santa. it's a very interesting and peculiar story, but i think they can pull it off, if handled with care by gmmtv.

nanisky series that maybe most likely isn't another bromance?! and it's about fate and destiny?! oof YES PLEASE. obviously there isn't much to go on yet because it was essentially just one long scene, but it looks really intriguing and this trope always piques my interest.

serious drama-heavy offgun series directed by nuchy anucha?? oh we're back!! i really enjoyed cooking crush and thought it was incredibly cute, and offgun probably wanted something lighthearted. but we're going back to the not me-era and i'm here for it! this is their strength and speciality and it's going to be fantastic. gun can really do anything, that man is a chameleon.

winnysatang as a prince and outcast? this looks adorable and right up winnysatang's alley! so happy they're getting their own series now, they've earned it. and of course satang plays a prince, he's perfect for the role! and the beach scenes gave me the eclipse vibes so that's definitely off to a good start!

i know there are a few more series but currently, these are the ones i'm looking forward to the most. could change entirely when the real trailers get released tho. i'm also really happy to see neo and jj getting so many projects like YES they are so talented!!

Today, January 13th, we enter the Perth Runa manifestation period, which will last until January 28th.

PERTH: Secret, News, Beginning)

Perth defined (the Fairies Game) represents joy and exuberance more than any other rune, but if it is in a position of relevance in the course of Divination it could mean excessive dissolution in all respects, so if it is too much it could mean chatter and excessive "lightness".

In addition, it reveals a hidden knowledge, an inner secret to cherish and protect in order to be born and progress. Not a coincidence Perth symbolizes the tight rope bag in which the runes are kept and extracted.

Another peculiarity of this Runa is that it strengthens vision, thus favoring prophesying, foreseeing a revelation, the revelation of a secret, as said before, or even indicating the return of something lost for a long time, the arrival of unexpected rewards and the closure of a cycle.

The Perth Runa, as a symbol of secret and mystery, is therefore associated with everything that, in turn, represents the unknown, such as destiny for example, playing, (in terms of gambling) or life, but on the contrary, it also assumes a revealing meaning of something that goes kept a secret.

But Perth is also synonymous with luck, skill, value, and most of all starting something.

The Perth Runa tells us that while subjects that show many of Perth’s characteristics undoubtedly guarantee cheerful and cheerful company, this doesn’t mean you can always rely on them.

You don’t need to be caught by surprise, the extensive and careless atmosphere is an accomplice, by nice words and enticing proposals, nor disclose secrets and other familiar issues, waves where you don’t run into any kind of risks.

Many people believe that destiny is already written and that it is not in their power to change it.

Perth, on the other hand, warns that things are not like that: destiny is the result of the sum of decisions and choices we make during our lives.

So paraphrasing the poet Antonio Machado, we ourselves are the artists of our path as we walk it.

Divination

In the divination phase Perth straight gives a wise advice: we need to make good use of the power of choice and decision that nature has bestowed upon us.

Teach us to adopt an active attitude in life, avoiding falling into despair and sticking to others for bad things.

Perth invites you to be bold and embrace change - despite the challenges they bring, you'll find it will be worth it in the end.

Perth proposes to look at life with optimism, so as not to be overwhelmed by sadness or depression, which prevents us from living well, when instead problems always end up in one way or another to be overcome.

Differently, the upside indicates the admonition not to participate in uncertain or unknown undertakings because the result would be a disaster, and it also manifests the negative influence of others that could cause breakups of friendships or marriages.

While your energy and efforts can be wasted on too many projects, Perth advises focusing on what’s priorities, deciding what you want while abandoning insecurities and fears.

If you don’t do it, you can’t move forward.

Allies in this battle will be constancy and perseverance, but above all confidence in your own abilities and self-esteem.

If you believe in yourself, if you have confidence in your plans and face the future with optimism, your victory is certain.

In addition, it predicts an unpleasant surprise, sexual problems, And also advises not to lend money.

Holden Sheppard reveals Invisible Boys sequel name

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/holden-sheppard-reveals-invisible-boys-sequel-name/

Holden Sheppard reveals Invisible Boys sequel name

Best selling Aussie queer author Holden Sheppard has revealed the name of his follow up sequel to Invisible Boys – and even before it has been released its already winning literary acclaim.

Yeah The Boys promises to tell the further adventures of Zeke, Charlie and Hammer as they grow into a new decade as young gay men following the events of Invisible Boys and last night the unreleased novel won the $50,000 Minderoo Artist Fund Award for 2025.

“Back in 2023, I won a $25,000 grant from Minderoo to write the first draft of this book,” Sheppard revealed on his socials earlier today.

“The 2023 cohort of artists all have our projects and outputs assessed by a judging panel, who then deem one of us the winner overall and grant a prize of an additional $50,000.

“For an artist, this amount of money is life-changing and will help me stay a full time writer for a while longer now and get YEAH THE BOYS through to publication. I am so happy.”

Sheppard was presented with the award by Nicola Forrest AO of Minderoo Foundation at Stories in Yagan Square in the Perth CBD.

“Thank you so much to the Forrests for establishing this philanthropic fund to help WA mid-career artists,” Sheppard said after receiving the award.

“Thank you Nicola Forrest for your warmth and encouragement. Thank you to the whole Minderoo Foundation team led by CEO John Hartman for making me feel so supported for the past two years. Congrats also to my fellow 2023 Minderoo Artist Fund cohort & the new 2025 cohort announced last night.

Alex Allan, the CEO of Invisible Boys publishers Fremantle Press and Stan television adaptation producer Tania Chambers were present when Sheppard received the award, as was Screenwest CEO Rikki Lea Bestall.

Sheppard also thanked his husband Raphael for his support during the writing process.

“He’s supported me through all the ups and the many downs that mostly go unseen. Thank you my man,” Sheppard said.

With audiences gushing over the television adaptation of Invisible Boys on Stan, there is definitely an appetite for a sequel and Sheppard said that he was exited to update the story for his readers.

“It is so exciting to have the title of YEAH THE BOYS public at last,” Sheppard said.

“I am not just proud of this book following the further adventures of Zeke, Charlie and Hammer – I am proud of what this book is all about and what it represents for gay men and for men’s mental health in this era.

“More info in due course about when and where and how this book will be getting into the world. For now, just hell chuffed to tell youse it exists and is finished and has a title I’m so proud of.”

Some viewers are saying that a story of revenge is too tropey and Phi/Non endgame is “too predictable”. But there are so many twists and turns that I’m surprised every week and I gave up guessing; ANY outcome/explanation for ghost/mundane murder-fuckiness makes sense. DFF is basically a choose-your-own adventure. I personally love revenge stories because it’s so satisfying when wrongs are righted. I really hope we see Phi/Non reunite; I will lose my shit (again) if that turns out to be the case - just like I lost my shit with the reveal that they were lovers. Please start a PhiNon Supporters club where we can all wear matching membership bracelets!

Anon, one of the major reasons I'm enjoying Dead Friend Forever, which in its current moment in the story is not very enjoyable, is because all theories are possible. I agree with you that this is really choose your own adventure!

If you are defending Fluke, skip to page 87! If you ship Jin x Phi, go to page 129. If you think Tee should be spared, flip to the end. If you think White is an innocent bystander, stay on the current page, but if you think he is New instead of Tan being New, go to page 95. If you think Phi is actually the worst offender, move to the next chapter. If you want to know who Perth is in this story, keep reading!

I'm scrolling through the tags enjoying each person's take and desires for the series because they are all different. And, of course, some people aren't enjoying the series, which happens with all shows. Others feel it's predictable while you and I think this could end six different ways. Like you wrote, any outcome is going to make sense to me because every action up until this point has made sense to me, (except Fluke cancelling the Uber). The conversations are all over the place and about twelve different things. I LOVE IT!

Also, as a person who actively maintains a Grudge Garden and a Petty Prison where I nurture my grievances against shows, I think disliking a show for trivial reasons is acceptable. If people hate the idea of Phi and Non being together in the end because it feels predictable to them, that has nothing to do with me and how I'm interacting with the show, so I remain unbothered by it.

But as for what I am concerned about, if Dead Friend Forever and BOC wanted to sell merch from this series in order to raise funds for upcoming projects (praying 4 Minutes is Bible x Fluke, amen), a simple red bracelet would be the only item I'd need because this Phi x Non ship ain't sailing itself!

Before this week's GMMTV announcements, I thought it was a good time to review my bingo card from Part 1, and do some manifesting for what we haven't gotten yet.

What I got right on my bingo card from Part 1 (which in hindsight, I did better than I realized based on announcements):

- Enemies to lovers, Pond in a comedic role, and if you squint, sort of AouBoom as leads because it's an ensemble cast - all covered by We Are.

- BL series with new actors - a safe bet, yes, still counts, Only Boo (which is actually turning out quite cute).

- Workplace romance - The Trainee

- GemFourth in something cute & innocent - My Love Mix-Up

- Paranormal romance & Gawin in a new lead role with a new partner - My Golden Blood, now to be joined by The Vampire Project for the paranormal part

- I'm also pretty sure I picked ViewJune as a side couple before they were confirmed as one for 23.5, so I'm gonna take credit for that as well.

What seems likely in Part 2:

- Mark Pakin in a lead role. He kind of spilled the beans already, plus it would be fucking dumb to not give him a lead at this point.

- 2 GLs in 2024. Pluto takes one spot, and based on rumors of a particular author posting about the event, another seems likely. (Pluto might also technically qualify as my secret identity romance pick but it remains to be seen).

- FirstKhao romcom. We want it, they want it, it's basic math. Give it!

- Neo paired with someone new and in a non-comedic role. I haven't heard much rumorwise, but I got the impression that Mark may be partnered with someone else. Which I think is good! They worked in Only Friends, but I think it's good to have a roster of flexible BL actors. I know Neo will be in My Golden Blood, so that sorta already counts for a serious role, but I assume he'll get more as well. (Omg, what if he hooks up with Mond as villain boyfies).

Less likely but not impossible:

- Remake of a Korean series. But after mining Japan so successfully, they might want to attempt more (especially if Korea is more flexible with airing rights).

- BL series with actors over 30. Their actors and audience are all getting older, let's bring in some maturity (Yes, of course this is about Papang making out onscreen for my enjoyment, I apologize for nothing).

Not gonna happen and I will be salty about it:

- JoongDunk vampire series. The Vampire Project is right there. Joong as a serial killer is also acceptable. (But of course I will watch them in whatever they get. I would just love for them to not be in university once again.)

- Midnight Museum 2. You give me such beautiful weird chaos and a perfect BL setup for season 2. And we won't get it, because god forbid that Gun ever get to kiss a man who isn't Off. Let him make out with other people, goddammit!!

Not in my card but manifesting all the same:

- Something worthy of Perth. Look, I like Chimon. He is very talented. And I had fun with Dangerous Romance. But I can't deny there was a chemistry problem. I think they can get past it, I really do, but they need the right series, the right coaching - heck, hire Saint to come do a one-on-one class of "how to make out with Perth like you mean it".

- Keep breaking out of the predictable BL settings. They've started to, and they need to keep it up. I'd love a strong sci-fi.

- More trans characters. More gender diversity. More breaking stereotypes.

Dangerous Romance Episode 1

The newest GMMTV Thai BL has dropped and starring Perth X Chimon, this enemies to lovers trope is set in high school. And so far, I’m liking it.

The first episode highlights the societal, economic and class differences between our 2 main characters (and their group of friends).

We open with Sailom, played by the ever talented Chimon working hard in his part time job, while still maintaining his scholarship attending what appears to be quite a prestigious school (with a lot of the children being sent in expensive looking cars!) - and despite the financial hardship, you can see the cheeky side of Sailom (the way he answered the customer from the car wash shop 😂😂😂). I also love the small details (like how worn out his school shirt is compared to his schoolmates), again highlighting his financial situation. He has 2 loyal friends - both also on scholarships - Auto (Euro Thanaset) who is obsessed with an idol girl group, his mother working in the school canteen means he is always ready to feed Sailom when the latter is short of money. Then we have Guy (Marc Pahun!! So glad you are back on screen!), likely on a football scholarship? - alway ready to back up his friends.

Contrast with Kanghan, rich and unfortunately a bully. Clearly used to getting his own way, and being the top dog in school (anyone reminded of the F4 series?). He has the teachers wrapped around his fingers and nobody in school dares to go against him. But you can also see he has a soft spot for his grandma and Pimfah (beautiful View!!!! So glad to see her again!). And while his cronies (Max played by JJ, Nawa played by Pawin) shipped them together - Kanghan and Pimfah appears more to be close childhood friends who understand each other (I may of course be proven wrong as the series progress!)

Conflict arises when Auto got tangled up with Kanghan gang by agreeing to help them do a group project for money, but the plan went pear-shaped with Auto ultimately being beaten up. And that’s when the tug and war start between Sailom and Kanghan.

While Sailom tried to do the right thing by reporting the bullying, their homeschool teacher is not buying it (also Kanghan definitely has the teachers wrapped around his fingers) - “it’s just boys playing around. Now apologise and make up with Kanghan.”

It’s start a petty war from Kanghan’s side - throwing water/a shoe to Sailom, cutting up his bag/homeworks and harassing him at his side job

But, Sailom gives back just as good - he has some of the best line in this episode 😂😂😂

“Do you want to be a hero?” Kanghan

“Why, do you want to be my heroine?” Sailom

“There’s 2 type of people, the car owner and the car washers.” Kanghan (while slyly putting a credit card in Sailom’s pocket to get him in trouble) before Sailom slyly putting it back in the former pocket “There’s 2 type of people, a smart one and the person thinking he is smart.” Sailom

The episode ended with Auto being used to lure Sailom for essentially a beat up session in front of everyone (While Guy being locked up to stop him from interfering).

And again, despite Kanghan trying to humiliate Sailom by declaring he will forgive everything if Sailom kisses Auto - Sailom flipped the narrative and kissed Kanghan in front of the crowd (🤌👏👏👏) - now that’s a genius move by Sailom (or it could idiotic but we’ll see in next week episode 🫣)

The first round of Sailom vs Kanghan goes to Sailom. He is smart, sassy and not phased by Kanghan and his groupies. Yes, it’s frustrating and troublesome, but Sailom knows the value of patience. He is also aware of his lower socioeconomic status - and how to circumvent around it. Whether or not he will remain patience as Kanghan intensify his attacks (or if the trailer is to believed when loan sharks comes knocking and his brother get into trouble) will be interesting to see.

Kanghan despite being a bully clearly has a soft spot for his family and close friends. And there seems to be a barrier with his father - on the surface his father seems encouraging but also not?- “I want you to concentrate in school, have fun and hang out with your friends. Don’t need to do run for school president, it’s not fun etc etc.”

You can see his face fell when he heard his dad say the above (also, this is the first time I heard an Asian parent not wanting their children to strive for the best 😂😅) - so, I’m not that surprised why Kanghan just go on with his days cruising, as there is no expectations from his dad..and he seems at loss what to do with his future.

Will be interesting to see how their relationship unfolds as the series progresses!!!

6 and 15!

thanks for the ask 🫶

6. who's your favourite player on your favourite team?

So the team I support is Perth Glory and considering that our women's team is ranked 9th and our men's team is ranked second last I have to say... there are very few players I love right now. Like most of the decent players we've had have moved onto better teams or retired by now. Having said that, my favourite would be Adam Taggart since he's our captain, an academy graduate and has stayed with us through the dark ages.

15. which athlete was your favourite growing up? why?

I only started seriously paying attention to sports when I was 16 or so, so I can't say that I had any serious sports idols as a child growing up but I do remember doing a school project on Cathy Freeman, who is an Indigenous Australian sprinter who won the gold medal for the 400m at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, which was of course a very special moment in Australian sports history.

what do you think about the Netjames break up? james left to pursue his artist career and released that highly criticized (and made fun of) song dance cover etc. do you think he lost fans a sizeable amount? and net has a new partner now and the series seem to be moving along

It was...relatively peaceful? Given that my bad BL breakups benchmark is Perth's manager spreading rumors that Saint is a prostitute, I would say it was an amazing breakup.

Do I think there's more to it than James wanted to pursue an artistic career? Of course I do. Genuinely, there must be. Love Upon a Time isn't a simple project to back out of. Period BLs are all the rage right now. At the time of trailer release it was the first/second period BL on the market. James gave up a lot for what seems a whimsical desire to sing and dance. He could sing after, he could sing during. And unlike the Mii2 breakup, James is fully active right now lol

Rather than what I think about their engagement, because they both must have taken a hit (I don't follow either solo) - I feel really bad for NetJames fans and I feel bad for Net and James; for whatever happened that lead to the breakup before project completion.

Net and James have been working towards this for a really long time and they came to DMD a pair with an established fanbase already having acted together in short series/films. How do you convince me that once upon a time James himself wasn't breaking his back to make this series happen?

To have worked for this for so long and be so close to a blockbuster to then retire the pair with only one full series as leads that is at best one or two notches above tonhon chonlatee aksdjshfk im incredibly sad about it! I respect their privacy and they've given back to their fans a lot so I don't hold them responsible for fan feelings either but also like come on how am i ever supposed to believe James gave this up just cause he wanted to sing more???
