Life in the city can be too stifling sometimes – there are plenty of spaces for bustling enjoyment but not much for tranquil relaxation, plus there could be too many people and not much community. You know that it would do you and your family so much good if you could escape from the city when the times call for it, without all the hassle of booking hotel rooms, carrying luggage, and constantly needing to plan out itineraries.

A vacation place in the right location with an engaging community that suits you and your family whims and needs should very well be a house that you are always welcome to come home to. Also, you could opt to rent it out whenever you're not going to visit. This poses your vacation home as a viable investment. But for now, let's focus on helping you find the perfect vacation home.

Visualize and list down how you want your vacation home to be – If you're living in an apartment in the city with just the right amount of space for you and your family, you may want your vacation home to be bigger, where you and your kids can comfortably lounge in and invite some friends over. You could also be dreaming of having it near the sea, so you can often hear the calming sound of the waves. Be clear about what you want in your house; list it down or make sketches if you can. When you know what you want, finding the perfect home will be easier for you and your agent since you can narrow down your options and save time, effort, and money.

Top point to consider: location – you might want to consider its proximity to your main residence. According to an article on CNBC, over 80% of second-home buyers choose a house within driving distance. If that's the case you choose, you and your family can frequently visit and maintain the house. Also, take into account its proximity to places such as police and fire stations, and hospitals. If it would require you to fly out every time just to go there, you might want to reconsider. But really, if you long to be near bodies of water, such as beaches or lakes, and your home is away from all of that, then by all means, buy your vacation home near such areas. Just make sure to check your local airport so that you’ll know if they offer regular flights.

Hire an agent with great knowledge of the area – More than just helping you with the whole buying process, hiring a local agent in the area that you’re choosing to buy would be to your advantage. They’d be giving you vital information for you to consider, such as weather and environmental hazard issues, property rental rules, and local zoning. They could also give you information on local novelty places to hang out or dine in with your family, and could even acquaint you with the local community.

Consider the long-term family appeal – What are your family’s passions and hobbies? Are they lovers of the great outdoors and are always up for a hike or a surf session? Or do they prefer to stay indoors and play board games? Note that this vacation home is a place you will create memories for years, so let your family have their say on the decision-making.

Choose to be in a community that you and your family can engage in –  According to NAR, 78% of home buyers surveyed said that neighborhood quality is more important than the size of the home. We are social animals, and as said in the previous section, the vacation home will be used for years, and one of the best reasons to utilize it and stay there for a long time is to have you and your family be part of the local community. You guys could get together for common hobbies (or you might find yourself a new one because of them, too!) and even advocacies. Belonging to a community will surely enrich you and your family’s experience in your vacation home.

“Oh, fuck”. Simon uttered in a whispery groan as he furiously pumped his throbbing cock. His muscular thighs tensed as his hand shoved your dirty panties even closer to his nose, the fabric nearly suffocating him. What’s more, another dirty pair of your panties hung loosely around his hips, a small spot of your wetness still lingering in the crotch.

It wasn’t his fault he found it while he was doing laundry today. With you being away grocery shopping, he had to deal with his sudden hard-on somehow. No, it couldn’t wait-not after he took a deep, hungry whiff of your slick coating the crotch of your soft underwear.

“Fuck, baby,” Simon choked as he moved his hand even faster. The image of you bouncing on his cock in a reverse cowgirl position bombarded his already fucked-out mind: the way your cute, round ass would jiggle as he kneaded your sweet love handles. His legs shook and tensed as he curled the ridges of his fingers over the giant vein under his shaft, giving it extra attention as his balls tightened.

“(Y-Y/N),” he moaned before his jaw went slack. He thrusted his hips forward, his cock spilling rope after rope of his hot seed against your panties. Simon inhaled deeply, the sweet smell of your essence driving him further into pure bliss. Heat coursed through every inch of his body as he completely soaked your clothes with his thick cum. He rocked his hips forward a few more times, this high fading away as he caught his breath.

“Simon?”

His eyes snapped open as his heart stopped. He didn’t dare to turn around to see your face, his throat running dry as he remained still. He heard you shuffle around a bit in the threshold of the bedroom. His spend was already starting to feel cold against his hand as you slowly walked over.

“Are those my panties?” you asked with a slightly strained voice. Simon felt like his lungs were burning before he finally took a shallow breath.

“Yeah,” he simply replied as he the panties in his hand fall to the floor. He felt his hands crow clammy as he sat with his legs spread and cock softening in his hand. Simon's shoulders tensed when he felt you place a soft hand on one of them. His throat tightened as you rubbed your warm hand over his goose-bumped skin. You didn’t say anything for quite some time before sighing.

“You couldn’t wait until I got home, huh?” you murmured. Simon swallowed and nodded, his face remaining blank as he screamed internally.

“How the fuck could I? You make it damn near impossible for me to not bend you over every surface of this house. You're fuckin' gorgeous,” he replied bluntly as he finally looked into your eyes. Your jaw dropped as you clutched the bottom of your shirt.

"W-What?" you stammered. Simon sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

“A gorgeous girl who leaves her freshly wet panties on top of the hamper, that is,” he muttered. Your eyes widened as you blushed furiously, making him smirk. “So...you admit it?” Simon asked as he stood up, letting your cum-stained panties fall to the ground with a soft thud. You audibly gulped as you glanced to the side.

“I-I don’t know what you're talking about,” you said as you tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. Simon raised a brow as he took a step closer. The way you squirmed and played with your hair told him everything he needed to know. You gasped and braced the wall as he loomed over you, resting an arm just above your head.

“Such a naughty little thing,” he purred. Your breath hitched as he nipped and kissed at the sensitive spot just below your ear. Simon grinned against your skin as his hands wandered beneath your shirt, tracing over every roll and stretch mark. He kissed along your neck as he slid his hand beneath your bra and gently pinched your nipples. You released a small whimper, your eyes rolling back as he massaged your sensitive buds.

“S-Simon,” you panted as you grabbed his dark shirt. He inhaled sharply at the sound of his name as he tugged your soft nipples.

“Mmm, you have no idea how fuckin’ crazy you make me, love,” he growled into your ear. You moaned as he rubbed his hips against yours, his dick already growing hard once more. Simon felt blood pumping straight down to his cock as he heard your cute moans and pleas fall from your lips.

“Simon, please,” you whined as he smoothed his thumbs over your buds. Please. The word that always broke him. You squealed when his hands left your breasts and clasped over your waist.

“Fuck, wanna fill you up with all my cum,” he confessed with a bellowing snarl. You moaned at his words as his fingers dipped below the band of your pants. "You want that, love? Want me to make you gush with my fuckin' seed?" Simon murmured. A shiver ran up his spine as he felt his fingers being drenched in your juices.

"Y-Yes! Please fill me, Simon!” you moaned. Both of you shivered as he rubbed three digits against your wet folds.

“I’ve barely touched you and you’re already fuckin’ soaked,” Simon breathed. You swallowed as he rubbed his fingers back and forth against your slit, your cunt squelching at his lewd ministrations. You whined when he pulled back, his fingers glistening with your juices as he observed them.

“You wanna know what I was thinkin' of when I was soakin' your panties with my cum?” he murmured as if telling you a secret. You blinked and shook your head. He chuckled, eyes half lidded as he licked the tips of his fingers. Simon hummed at the sweet taste of your slick before swiping his tongue across his pink lips. “I was thinkin' of you riding my cock, your cute ass facin' me while I held onto your hips,” he explained before squeezing your waist.

“Just like this,” Simon whispered. He smirked when he felt you lean up to kiss him, your soft, warm lips caressing his as you hungrily devoured his mouth. Your lover backed up to the bed as he wrapped his arms around you, his hands making quick work of pulling down your sweatpants and panties.

You huffed before backing away and peeling them off of you. Simon’s eyes lit up when he saw your juicy slit, his mouth watering at the thought of his cock about to be swallowed whole by your gummy walls. You quickly tore your shirt and bra off before resting your hands on his chest.

“You still want me to ride you, Si?” you asked sweetly. He tilted his head to the side and hummed.

“I don’t just want you to ride me: I want to feel your pussy gush on my lap. I want to bend you in half…fuck, I want cover every inch of your beautiful body with my cum,” he said. Your eyes widened at his reply, fingernails nearly digging into his skin. Simon kissed your forehead.

“I just want you, (Y/N),” Simon purred in a low whisper. He nearly gasped when you pushed him onto your bed, his body bouncing on the mattress. His dark eyes were trained on you as you wrapped your hand around his semi-hard cock.

“I want you, too, more than anything,” you breathed as you squeezed the base of his cock. Simon propped himself up on his thick forearms as you slowly pumped your fist around his length. He groaned as you swiped your thumb across his slit, his body growing hotter by the second.

“Fuck, lovie-that’s it, just like that,” Simon groaned. You kissed the tip of his dick, your other hand rubbing and massaging his heavy balls as his legs shook. “Fuuuck,” he drawled as his cock grew even harder in your grasp. Simon screwed his eyes shut as you swirled your tongue around his flushed tip, your hand gliding up and down his girth at just the right pace. He grunted when he felt his dick grow hard enough, placing his hand on top of yours.

“Mind if I spoil my girl a little?” Simon asked. You swallowed and nodded. He chuckled and kissed the top of your head. “Get on the bed, then, love,” he murmured. You scrambled onto the bed, drawing another chuckle out of him at how quick you were to spread your legs. He eyed your pussy hungrily as he sucked on his fingers before pressing his thumb to your puffy clit. You keened and curled your toes as he gently pumped two of his digits inside your slick hole.

“Love how your pretty pussy hugs my fingers,” Simon groaned as he felt your walls clench around his thick digits. You gasped as he reached further inside and curled his fingers against your spongey g-spot. His heart skipped a beat as he pumped his fingers in and out of your tight hole, the ridges of each digit gliding along your soft walls.

He captured your lips in a sloppy kiss, not minding the taste of himself in the slightest as he swiped his tongue over yours. He tilted his head a little, capturing you in an even deeper embrace as his chest rubbed over your hard nipples. After a few more strokes, Simon pulled his fingers out, leaving your hole gaping and begging for something to fill it.

“Think you’re ready for my cock, sweetheart?” Simon asked.

“Yes,” you said breathily. He flashed a warm smile before patting both of your thighs.

“You know what to do,” he said lowly. You giggled as you crawled down the bed, your body moving side to side in a hypnotic dance as you swayed your hips. Simon groaned as you arched your back and shook your rear, your curves luring him like a Siren’s song. You continued your little dance before you hovered your hips above his. He relished in feeling your soft thighs slotting over his waist as you took hold of his shaft.

His heart pounded in his ears as you rubbed his bulbous tip along your wet folds before sliding it around your tight entrance. Your lover squeezed your love handles as you slowly sank down on his cock. His breath hitched as he felt your hole spread wide open for him with a loud squelch. He dug his fingers into your flesh as your plush walls parted with every inch you took.

“God, this pussy’s so perfect for me baby,” he swallowed thickly as he felt the tightness constrict around his twitching member. You shuddered when he finally bottomed out inside you, his plump balls resting against the sheets as his cock throbbed inside your wet cavern.

“Feel so full, Si,” you keened as you arched your back. Simon’s pupils blew up as you slowly ground your hips back and forth, the gentle motion already making his mind sink further into primal desire. He groaned as your walls fluttered around him, your ass moving back and forth against his stomach as he pawed at your hips.

“Mmm look at you-my little fuck bunny spreadin’ herself open on my cock,” Simon moaned. You yelped when he slapped your ass, his eyes mesmerized by the way it jiggled and bounced. You sucked in a sharp breath before you started to slide your hips back and forth a little faster. Simon rubbed circles against your supple hips as you massaged his cock with your warm, tight walls. His heart raced as you finally raised your hips a few inches and sank back down, the flesh of your bum rippling as it came into contact with his taut lower stomach.

“Fuckin’ hell,” Simon cursed as your slick cunt gripped his member. The beautiful sound of your flesh slapping against his filled the room.

Plap Plap Plap Plap.

“S-Simon!” you cried out his name as he started to buck his hips in time with your bouncing. He bared his gritted teeth as he felt the familiar knot wind tighter and tighter inside his belly.

“Gonna cum, lovie? Gonna soak my lap, hm?” Simon grunted with a half-lidded stare. You nodded, your movements growing more sloppy as your slick dribbled down his length and pooled against his balls. You whined when he dug his nails into your waist, his throat tightening as your walls gripped and hugged his dick.

“Come on, then: cum for me, baby,” Simon groaned. You suddenly stiffened above him before sinking back down. Your cries flooded the room as your cunt spasmed around his thick shaft, a ring of cream oozing from between your two sexes as you chanted his name. Simon’s eyes rolled back as he felt his cock being sucked against your cervix as your slick pussy pulsated.

“Good girl, such a good girl f’me,” he puffed and smoothed his hands over the crescents in your sides. You eventually rested on his lap before he suddenly raised your hips again. He groaned when his swollen cock slid out of your pussy with a slick “pop”. You turned your head, hands still gripping his thighs as you gave him a puzzled look.

“Not done with you yet,” Simon husked. You bit your lip and wiggled your hips as he spread your asscheeks apart. He sighed as he locked eyes with your puckering hole, your sweet juices coating your folds and sticking to the inside of your thighs. Your thighs shook as he leaned up and licked a bold, wet stripe up from your clit to your entrance. His eyes fluttered closed as he tasted your delectable release, drinking it as if it were the most divine ambrosia. He smacked his lips before swirling his wet tongue around your hole, drawing a melodic moan from your precious, soft lips.

"H-Honey, baby, mmm!" you babbled as Simon prodded your entrance open with is wet muscle. You squealed as he thrusted his tongue inside, flicking the tip as deep as he could. Simon gripped your asscheeks as he moved his head side to side, savoring the way your arousal flowed into his desperate mouth. He smiled against your folds before giving your pussy a sloppy kiss.

“Get on your back, lovie,” he said as he smoothed his hands over the globes of your ass. Your legs still shook as you crawled over the the pillows. He sighed at the beautiful sighed before him: puffy tummy sticking out and your thick thighs spread apart, letting your pretty, glistening cunt be on full display for him. Simon shuffled towards you before laying, his rough hands on your knees. “You still good for us to keep going?” he asked. You nodded vigorously.

“Yes,” you swallowed.

“Mmm, good,” Simon hummed. You gasped as he gently slid his hands beneath your thighs before pushing them up. Your belly and breasts shifted as he held your legs up before poking the tip of his cock against your entrance. “Gonna fill you up so much,” Simon growled before slowly pushing himself inside. “Make you leak with my cum for hours, I swear,” he panted. You mewled as he sank his heavy cock inside your pussy, your slick from your previous orgasm bubbling around his shaft. He squeezed the back of your knees as he slowly opened you up again, your velvety walls warm and soothing against his painfully hard erection.

“Shit, that’s it,” he said as he sheathed his cock fully inside you, his tip kissing your cervix. Simon panted and caught his breath before he suddenly snapped his hips back and forth.

“Fuck, Si!” you screamed as you fisted the sheets. He flared his nostrils as he watched you close your eyes.

“Eyes on me, baby. Look at me,” he grunted. You opened your eyes, tears pouring down your soft cheeks as he pistoned his dick deep inside your squelching pussy. “Yeah, that’s a good girl,” Simon groaned. “Good fucking girl,” he growled.

His balls slapped against your asshole as he thrusted fast and deep, his release right there. He breathed heavily as he continued to fold you in half, his mind melting with every glide of his cock inside your sweet cavern. A thought suddenly broke through at the last second...a filthy, primal thought.

“Fuck, baby, ‘m gonna-“ Simon choked as he felt his cock twitch and muscles seize. You cried as he pumped a few ropes inside your cunt before suddenly letting your legs fall back to the mattress. He grabbed his slick cock and pulled out.

“O-Oh my God,” you gulped as he pumped his shaft, painting your skin with his milky white cum. He licked the corner of his mouth as he shifted forward, coating your breasts with his thick, hot release. His breathing was ragged as his hips stuttered forward for the last time, the final stream of cum landing just across your hard right nipple.

Simon slowly blinked his eyes open as he held onto his softening cock. You were completely fucked out: eyes half-lidded as your cum-soaked tits rose and fell. He shuffled forward a bit more, letting the tip of his dick graze over your lip.

“Wanna clean up our little mess?” he murmured with a wry grin. You panted before sitting up, your body jiggling beneath him. You glanced up as you stuck your tongue out, lapping at your combined released on the underside of his cock. You soon enveloped your lips around his head, swirling your tongue and making him shudder.

“Mmm you know just how to do it, sweetheart,” Simon grinned as he stroked your cheek. You slowly bobbed your head up and down, your spit quickly replaces the cum coating his cock as you sank down deeper with each stroke. You gagged when you suddenly shoved your face forward, his cock bulging inside your throat before pulling back up.

You coughed a little when you released your grip on his length. He rubbed his fingertips through your hair as you gave his cock one final peck, lapping up a bead of loose cum and swallowing it down.

“Did so good f’me, my sweet girl,” Simon breathed as he let his hand fall down to caress your cheek. You gave a sheepish smile as you glanced away. He pecked your lips, tasting both of you on his tongue before he leaned back.

“Now, how about we take a nice, long shower, yeah?” he suggested with a lingering smirk. You raised a brow.

“And why would it be long, Simon?” you asked. Your lover chuckled, his eyes lighting up with mischief.

"You're just gonna have to come with me and find out," he replied.

Hi! How did you make the fade on your header?

hi hi! :] i do it with most of my blogs headers and it depends a bit per header but generally i either add a vignette filter if i like the look of it (and possibly erase some parts of it if i want the fade at specific parts of the image only/want to change it some other way), or i add an image like the one below the readmore as an overlay and position + stretch it to sit how i like

[partyswirl]

tried to save an image and briefly the header of a random blog i looked st earlier today just like faded in and then disappeared. like an apparition

Hello!

My name is Zev and I am a writer and artist in my 20s. I'm Jewish, disabled, and trans, and I like to include themes and representation of all of the above in my writing. I am white, allistic, and transmisogyny exempt. I use they/he pronouns.

I grew up assimilated and disconnected from my Jewish heritage, and am learning about and reconnecting to my culture partially through writing Jewish characters. (I am Ashkenazi specifically.) I would absolutely love to connect with other Jewish writers!!

Wear a mask ��� and free Palestine! 🍉

I don't have any specific plans for this blog, it will most likely be a combination of reblogs of research for my writing, other writers' and artists' content, and my own short stories, and a Jumblr. I may post art sometimes too. Fantasy is my favorite genre to write, and I love writing in others as well! Not all of my work will include representation from all the groups I've mentioned, but it will be a common theme in short stories, poetry, or anything else I post. With AI on the rise, I don't feel comfortable posting my biggest WIPs unfortunately 😔

This should go without saying but antisemites, racists, transmisogynists, general transphobes, homo/lesbo/bi/aphobes, ableists, islamophobes, fatphobes, etc - including anyone who still engages with h*rry p*tter in 2023 (congrats on ticking every single one of those boxes) as well as prosh*ppers - will be blocked.

I am a leftist and anticapitalist and won't tolerate right-wing and other violent or harmful ideologies. If you're pro-US military, pro-cop, or a Zionist, I do not want you here. I won't argue with you about any of this, don't waste your time.

I hope you enjoy my writing!

Tumblr icon description: A digital painting of friendly-looking dragon colored the blue, pink, and white of the trans pride flag with feathery spikes along their head, neck, chin, and back of their paw who has large curved white horns, a white kippah lined with deep blue and with a blue star of David on the top. The dragon smiles with one tooth poking out and holds a black and silver pen, writing something. Behind them is a fading sunset, the sky dark blue, then dark purple, then light magenta, then orange, contrasted with dark hills in front of the sunset. [End ID]

Header image description: A photograph of a green grass field on Syke island in Scotland during sunset. In the foreground, concentric circles alternate on the field between plain beige dirt and raised bright green grass, the latter lined with evenly spread dark grey rocks. In the center of the circles is a large pile of these same rocks. In the background, grassy hills line either side of the island, with a grey craggy rock structure overtaken by more grass in the front right view. A dip in the very front of the hills frames the brilliant orange setting sun, the blue sky above it melting into yellow as it gets closer to the sea, which reflects the orange dazzlingly. Dramatic wispy white clouds spread across the beautiful sunset. [End ID]

What software do you use for your Mmd? Are you using just Miku miku Dance? Because Your mmd 3d model and shading is SOO GOOD.

TLDR: Models from Mihoyo, Shading from Manashiku Shader for MMEffect.

Long Answer: It's just MMD with MMEffect for the models.

For the shading, it's from Manashiku Shader, and that's the reason why the Genshin Models look as good as they do, since it's specifically designed for Genshin Models to look like their ingame selves!

It takes a LOT of setup since you have to edit the model yourself and replace textures with lightmaps, find out if anything's glitching, then pray to god that it's 1 to 1 without worrying about what specifically is going wrong.

It's also touched up with some photoshop for the text, effects like outline or fading, and the backgrounds themselves are pulled from Genshin ingame.

I.E: The Blog's Header image

The models are from Mihoyo themselves, shading is the Manashiku, background is from an ingame area, the text is Genshin's official font downloaded into my computer, and an assload of photoshop editing effects like Smoke, shadows, lens flares, vignette, etc.

For each character, they're a separate layer so I can edit them individually to make them look better, adjust certain poses if something's off, play with perspective, and a lot of other boring stuff.

Plus if we're simping for the pretty ladies, I gotta make them look pretty, and sometimes MMD and the shaders fight me on that where a texture starts glitching.

If some of y'all wonder why some posts have 3D renders and some don't this is primarily why: it takes a WHILE.

This year, Hurricane Florence brought tragic damage to the Carolinas and the Eastern Seaboard. And like recent major storms such as Harvey and Irma, Florence has caused massive flooding throughout the region.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), no home is completely safe from potential flooding. And without flood insurance, homeowners have to pay out of pocket or take out loans to repair their home and replace its contents. Flood insurance can mean the difference between recovering and being financially devastated. So why risk it when your largest financial investment is at stake? It can take you less than a month to make an offer and close on your dream home, but rebuilding it after flood damage could take months or even years.

Here are five crucial reasons why homeowners should carefully consider getting flood insurance:

1. Your standard homeowner's insurance policy does not typically cover flood damage.

Many American homeowners are unaware that flooding is one type of natural disaster that isn’t covered by their standard home insurance policies. In fact, at least 43% of homeowners incorrectly believe the damage from heavy rain flooding is covered under their standard insurance, according to the 2016 Consumer Insurance Survey by the Insurance Information Institute.

Most homes in the counties that were hardest hit by Hurricane Florence in September 2018 were underprepared for the aftermath of the storm. A Washington Post analysis revealed only one in 10 homes has flood insurance.

Since your regular home insurance doesn’t typically cover flood damage, you will need a policy offered through the government’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The average annual premium for a policy through the NFIP was $866, although it is expected to rise about 8% this year. The program's maximum coverage is $250,000 for your home and $100,000 for its contents.

2. Your home can be miles away from a floodplain or any bodies of water and you can still be a victim of flooding.

It takes just one inch of water to cause $25,000 of damage to your home, as reported by FEMA. You can live miles away from water and your area may be low-risk, but it doesn’t mean there’s no risk involved. Surprisingly, over 20% of flood insurance claims come from properties outside high-risk flood zones.

While homeowners in high-risk areas are likely required by lenders to get flood insurance, it’s also recommended that those who live in low- to medium-risk areas also consider buying a policy.

3. Flood maps can change!

Here’s a sad truth: floods can happen anywhere. Floodplains and floodplain maps change and evolve. When you bought your home, you may have thought, “There’s no need for a flood insurance policy because I don’t live on a floodplain.” But that doesn’t mean your area will always be low risk.

You can check the site FloodSmart.gov to learn more about the flood risks in your area. It’s also a good tool if you want to get more information about the risks, premiums, and agents near you. Your insurance agent can also be your go-to person during your research.

4. Floods are the most common weather emergency.

Anywhere it rains, there’s the possibility of flooding. And according to FEMA, flooding can occur from hurricanes, tropical storms, cyclones, plain old heavy rains, winter storms, spring thaws, overburdened or clogged drainage systems, or occasionally from nearby construction. It doesn’t even have to be caused by a major weather emergency for your property to be affected.

Likewise, flood insurance can pay whether or not there is a Presidential Disaster Declaration.

5. There is a 30-day wait period before the policy goes into effect.

You can’t wait until a hurricane is bearing down on your area for you to get flood insurance. Most policies have a 30-day waiting period between when you buy the coverage and when the coverage takes effect. So you need to purchase a flood insurance policy at least a month in advance to be eligible for reimbursement.

The only exception to this is when the policy you got was required upon closing on a new home purchase. When an extreme storm hits your area within the 30-day period, you’ll have peace of mind that your new home and its contents are insured.

Bottom Line

Flood insurance premiums vary depending on the home’s elevation, the date of construction, and the relative risk of the area. And while the NFIP program has a maximum of $350,000 in coverage for your home and its contents, you may opt to buy excess flood insurance through a private carrier that would cover an amount above the national program’s limits.

It may be expensive, but don’t skimp on a flood policy and protect your largest financial investment. If you’ve been a victim of flood damage and your home is uninsured, you may get a grant from FEMA or a loan from the Small Business Administration. However, the money you’ll get may not be enough to cover the damage. According to this Realtor.com article, those federal grants are not designed to bring homeowners back to a pre-disaster condition. Insurance can help you get to where you were before the disaster occurred.

Blog Post #6 - Identity & Mood Board

Brand Statement: This mood board strikes a nice balance between nostalgia and a modern vibe. The soft, faded colors give off a sense of history, while the bold contrasts and sleek typography bring in a fresh, contemporary feel. It’s all about mixing those vintage elements with a lively energy, creating a look that feels both comforting and new—drawing from the past but made for today.

Mood

Color

Throughout my degree, I've drawn significant inspiration from vintage and classic aesthetics, so it's clear that I should include this in my portfolio. The colours are quite solid; I may consider using a more saturated version of them to incorporate into the modernism section of my website as well.

Images

I will try to use a transparent background approach and place them behind textured backgrounds. These three are good examples of what it will look like. I still have some work to do with other projects and how I present them, but not too much.

Font

I believe Hanken is the ideal font for headers and titles, as it will provide a contemporary appearance that balances the vintage aesthetic of Le Mondre Livre STD. My goal is to create a typewriter or newspaper look infused with modern flair.

Identity

Logos aren't my strongest design niche, but I had a lot of fun playing with my personal brand. I think "brunelle" is a little too long, so I've settled on BRU as my brand name. I personally like the bottom right the most because it would look good as a maker's mark for my ceramic products, and it would blend nicely with the aesthetic of my website design.

Removing Hover Effects in CSS: Simple Methods

Introduction

Hover effects in CSS add interactivity and enhance user experience by providing visual feedback when users interact with elements on a webpage. While these effects are commonly used to create engaging interfaces, there are instances where removing hover effects becomes necessary. This blog post explores the reasons behind removing hover effects and presents simple methods to achieve this, ensuring a more controlled and customized user experience.

1. Basic Concepts

Understanding the basic concepts of CSS hover effects is crucial for effectively managing and, if needed, removing them. Hover effects are CSS styles applied to elements when a user hovers over them with a cursor. These effects often include changes in color, size, or other visual attributes, providing feedback to the user about the interactive nature of the element. Key Components of Hover Effects: - Selectors: Specify which elements the hover effect should be applied to. - Properties: Define the visual changes when the element is hovered over. - Transitions: Control the smoothness of the effect over a specified duration. Example: Consider a button with a hover effect that changes the background color. The CSS for this might look like: CSS button:hover { background-color: #4CAF50; color: white; } Importance of Basic Concepts: A solid grasp of these concepts is essential when it comes to modifying or removing hover effects. It allows developers to pinpoint which elements are affected, what changes are applied, and how these changes contribute to the overall user experience. Without a clear understanding, unintended consequences or difficulties in customization may arise. Common Pitfalls: - Overuse: Applying hover effects excessively can lead to a cluttered and distracting interface. - Compatibility: Hover effects may not work consistently across all browsers or devices. - Accessibility: Ensure that hover-dependent content is accessible for users with different needs. Conclusion: Before delving into the methods of removing hover effects, a solid understanding of these basic concepts lays the foundation for effective CSS management. Developers can then make informed decisions based on the specific needs of their projects, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly web experience.

2. Common Hover Effects

Exploring popular hover effects provides insights into the diverse ways developers enhance the visual appeal of their websites. These effects not only capture user attention but also contribute to a more engaging user interface. Let's delve into some widely used hover effects and their implementations: 1. Color Changes: One of the simplest yet effective hover effects involves altering the color of an element. This could be a text color change, background color shift, or a combination of both. Developers often leverage this effect to highlight interactive elements like buttons or links. 2. Image Transitions: Hover effects on images can create dynamic and interactive content. Common implementations include zooming in, fading, or applying filters. These effects are frequently used in image galleries or portfolio sections to showcase visual content more dynamically. 3. Box Shadows and Borders: Adding shadows or adjusting borders on hover provides a sense of depth and dimensionality to elements. This effect is commonly used on cards, buttons, or other containers to simulate a three-dimensional interaction, enhancing the overall user experience. 4. Text Transformations: Text-based hover effects involve changes in font size, weight, or style. These effects are often applied to headers, links, or other textual elements to draw attention and signify interactivity. Bold text, italicization, or underline can be dynamically applied during hover. 5. Transition Delays: Introducing delays in the transition of hover effects can add a sense of anticipation and smoothness. Developers adjust transition durations to control the timing of visual changes, providing a polished and seamless user interaction. Implementing Hover Effects: Hover effects are typically implemented using CSS rules within style sheets. Developers define the specific style changes for the hover state of an element. The :hover pseudo-class is commonly used to target elements when users hover over them. Conclusion: Understanding these common hover effects equips developers with a toolkit to create visually appealing and interactive web interfaces. However, it's crucial to balance creativity with usability to ensure a positive user experience without sacrificing accessibility or website performance.

3. Why Remove Hover Effects?

While hover effects can greatly enhance user experience, there are scenarios where developers may find it necessary to remove them. Understanding the reasons behind removing hover effects is crucial for maintaining a clean and functional design. Let's explore the key motivations: 1. Accessibility Concerns: Some users may have accessibility needs or use devices that don't support hover interactions. Removing hover effects ensures that content and functionality remain accessible to a broader audience, including those with disabilities or using touch-based devices. 2. Streamlining User Interface: Excessive or overly complex hover effects can clutter the user interface and create a visually overwhelming experience. Removing certain hover effects helps streamline the design, focusing on essential elements and reducing unnecessary visual distractions. 3. Performance Optimization: Websites with numerous and intricate hover effects may experience performance issues, especially on low-powered devices or slower network connections. Removing or simplifying hover effects can contribute to better overall website performance and faster loading times. 4. Cross-Browser Compatibility: Not all browsers interpret CSS hover effects in the same way. Inconsistencies can lead to a lack of uniformity in the user experience. Removing or adjusting hover effects ensures a more consistent appearance across different browsers and devices. 5. User Preferences: Some users may prefer a more straightforward and static interface without dynamic hover effects. Providing options to disable or remove these effects allows users to customize their experience based on personal preferences. Methods of Removal: Developers can employ various methods to remove hover effects, including CSS modifications, JavaScript solutions, or utilizing media queries for responsive design. The choice of method depends on the specific needs and constraints of the project. Conclusion: Removing hover effects is a strategic decision that balances design creativity with practical considerations. By addressing accessibility, streamlining the interface, optimizing performance, ensuring cross-browser compatibility, and respecting user preferences, developers can create a more inclusive and user-friendly web experience.

4. Methods for Removing Hover Effects

When the decision is made to remove hover effects from a website, developers have several methods at their disposal. Each method has its own advantages and use cases, catering to different scenarios. Let's explore these methods in detail: 4.1 Disabling Hover with CSS: Disabling hover effects using CSS involves overriding or removing the styles applied to the :hover state. Developers can either reset the properties to their default values or explicitly set them to null. This method is straightforward and can be applied to specific elements or globally to the entire stylesheet. 4.2 JavaScript Solutions: JavaScript provides a dynamic way to control hover effects. Developers can use event listeners to detect when a user hovers over an element and then modify or remove the associated styles. This method offers greater flexibility, allowing for more complex logic or conditional removal based on user interactions. 4.3 Media Queries for Responsive Design: Media queries can be leveraged to apply or remove hover effects based on the device or screen size. This method is particularly useful for creating responsive designs that adapt to different viewing contexts. By adjusting hover effects for specific breakpoints, developers can optimize the user experience across devices. 4.4 !important Rule: The !important rule in CSS can be used to forcefully override hover effects. By applying this rule to styles, developers ensure that the specified styles take precedence over any conflicting hover styles. While caution should be exercised when using !important, it can be effective for quick and targeted removal of hover effects. Best Practices: - Target Specificity: When removing hover effects, ensure that the chosen method targets the specific elements or styles intended for modification. - Testing: Thoroughly test the removal of hover effects across various browsers and devices to ensure consistency and functionality. - Document Changes: Clearly document any modifications made to the CSS or JavaScript code to maintain code transparency and ease of future maintenance. Conclusion: Choosing the appropriate method for removing hover effects depends on the project's requirements and the desired level of customization. Whether through CSS adjustments, JavaScript interactivity, media queries, or the use of the !important rule, developers have a range of tools to effectively manage and tailor hover effects to enhance the overall user experience.

5. Best Practices

Efficiently managing hover effects is not only about their removal but also about implementing them judiciously to enhance user experience. The following best practices provide guidance on how to use and maintain hover effects for a balanced and user-friendly interface: 1. Purposeful Implementation: Apply hover effects with a clear purpose. Each effect should serve a functional or aesthetic goal, contributing positively to the overall user interface. Avoid excessive or gratuitous use of hover effects, which can lead to a cluttered and confusing design. 2. Consistency Across Elements: Maintain a consistent visual language for hover effects across different elements of the website. Users should have a predictable experience, understanding that certain elements will respond to hover interactions in a similar manner. 3. Responsiveness: Ensure that hover effects are responsive and adapt well to different screen sizes and devices. Use media queries to adjust the effects for optimal visibility and functionality on various platforms, including desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. 4. Accessibility Considerations: Pay attention to accessibility by providing alternative methods for users who may not interact with the website using a traditional cursor. This includes users with disabilities or those using touch-based devices. Test the website with accessibility tools to ensure a seamless experience for all users. 5. Performance Optimization: Optimize the performance of hover effects by minimizing unnecessary animations or transitions. Consider the impact on website loading times and ensure that the effects enhance rather than hinder the overall speed and responsiveness of the site. 6. User Feedback: Implement subtle visual cues during hover interactions to provide feedback to users. This helps in communicating the interactive nature of elements and enhances the overall usability of the website. 7. User Testing: Conduct user testing to gather feedback on the effectiveness and user-friendliness of hover effects. Understand how users interact with the website and make adjustments based on their preferences and behavior. Conclusion: Following these best practices ensures that hover effects contribute positively to the user experience without compromising accessibility or performance. By implementing hover effects purposefully, maintaining consistency, and prioritizing user feedback, developers can create a visually appealing and user-friendly interface that enhances overall website usability.

6. FAQ

Explore answers to frequently asked questions about removing hover effects in CSS to help address common queries and concerns. 6.1 Can hover effects be selectively removed? Yes, hover effects can be selectively removed based on specific elements or sections of a webpage. Developers can employ targeted CSS modifications or JavaScript solutions to achieve this level of customization. 6.2 How do I prevent hover effects on touch devices? To accommodate touch devices, it's advisable to use media queries to apply or remove hover effects selectively. By adjusting styles based on the device type, you can ensure a seamless experience for users interacting with touchscreens. 6.3 Are there any performance implications? Excessive or complex hover effects can impact website performance, particularly on devices with limited resources. It's crucial to optimize hover effects, minimize unnecessary animations, and test the website's performance across various devices to ensure a smooth user experience.

rules beneath the cut

FOLLOWING:

-I am a mutually exclusive blog. If we're not following one another, I will not respond to your character's asks nor will I write you starters.

-If you follow me first, I'd prefer for you to make the first move in terms of interactions. I promise, if we're mutuals, I'm more than happy to talk to you and begin to figure out interactions with you!

-I don't mind if personal blogs follow me so long as you don't reblog my stuff.

-I will likely unfollow you if your attitude is overly negative, or if you reblog a ton of unrelated content to your blog. Run your blog how you want, but I just don't want to be around it.

SHIPPING:

-I love shipping! I obviously need chemistry to happen, though, and definitely prefer if I already know the mun well enough before I feel comfortable to ship with someone.

-I don't do anything in regards to sexual writing on this blog. I'm 29, so it's really just a matter of my preference. I'll allow things up to a "fade to black" situation, however.

-Please refer to my SHIPPING section of my carrd if you have questions about what I ship.

GENERAL:

-Kerry has a lot of triggering material in his storyline, especially with the inclusion of some of his story from CyberGeneration. This includes, but is not limited to: suicidal tendencies, suicide attempts, physical abuse, verbal abuse, mention of drug and alcohol use, mention of drug and alcohol addictions, & child death.

-If you're an OC (or even a canon character that doesn't know my character in canon) do not assume my character knows you. If you want pre-established relationships, you need to come to me first. This includes V! Everyone's V is different, and I'd prefer to talk things out if dynamics between Kerry and V isn't already clear from your information.

-Please don't make it a habit of asking for starters without responding to them. If you have an issue with a starter, just let me know! I promise you I won't be annoyed or upset, because I want nothing more than for us to be able to interact.

-You definitely don't need to match my reply length, but I'd appreciate it if you gave me something to work with so I'm actually able to respond properly.

-You're more than welcome to turn our asks into threads if you want! Just be sure to turn into a new post and tag me, first!

-Triggers are tagged as "trigger cw".

-I have no triggers myself in regards to dark subjects. I do, however, have emetophobia which I would appreciate being tagged. I won't jump at you if you don't do this, however.

I left out things I felt to be obvious, but if there are issues in the future, I’ll add them here.
