~My liege the coffers are low, I fear that we will not last until the next payment. Prithee spare us a coin or two?~

Examples of my writing can be found here, here and here.

Above is a summary of what I offer, please see below the cut for further information:

It costs £2.50 for a short prompt which may be up to 500 words.

After that £5.50 for every 500 words. For example, it’s £5.50 for 500 words, £11.00 for 1000 words, £16.50 for 1,500 words, £22.50 for 2,000 words and so on.

This rate will continue up until 10,000 words which is my limit. If you want anything over that then you will have to pay a doubled rate of £11.00 per 500 words, e.g. it’s £110.00 for 10,000 words, if you want an extra 1000 words then your final total will be £132.00.

Additionally, if you requested, for example, 500 words for £5.50 but decided that you would like an extra 200 words then it’s £1.50 per 100 words, bringing your final total to £8.50 for 700 words.

I’m not overly comfortable writing NSFW pieces, if what you request is only mildly sexual/ suggestive then you can pay the normal rate and I will write it. However, if you insist on an NSFW piece then you will pay a doubled rate right from the get-go, e.g. £11.00 per 500 words. The word limit for NSFW pieces is capped at 1,500 words.

Additionally, aside from my hard NOs, I have the right to refuse an NSFW piece if the request contains things that make me very uncomfortable. However, some things can be discussed. I'm generally against something like non-con/ dub-con but may write a scenario containing specific circumstances.

I also reserve the right to refuse a standard commission if the request contains situations, fandoms, etc, that I am unwilling or uncomfortable writing about.

Furthermore, if I accept a commission and you pay me, only for me to lose inspiration/ motivation and I generally just don’t think I would be able to complete it within an acceptable time frame then I will contact you with my apologies and you will be refunded immediately.

If you would like a commission then please send me an ask (with your username, not anon) with what you want e.g. what price category as well as a summary of what characters/ themes/ plot points you would like included. I will slide into your DMs (or contact you in some other way) to let you know whether I’m expressing interest or denying your request. If the former then you can message me with more details. You can be as in-depth or as vague as you like but if it’s the latter then expect some artistic licence.

Some examples of what you could request might be:

. ‘How would (character/s) react to (thing)’ for £2.50 (works best for stuff I’m familiar with)

. I have a huge list of raw quotes I could use as prompts, you could choose a quote and have me write Reader/ Y/N spit some mad facts.

. Do you want 1000 words of Reader jerking off your favourite transformer for £11.00? Mate I’ve got you covered.

. Perhaps you’re very kind and love me very much so you’ll pay me to write a 5K word chapter for one of the many fic ideas I haven’t started yet. Or pay me to rant about the fictional continent that exists only in my head. One can certainly dream.

Anyhoo, once all the details are down pat and I’m ready to start, you can send me the payment via paypal. For anything that is 1000 words and over I will send you an update when I’m halfway through. The longer the commission, the more updates I’ll send. Any NSFW or original work will not be posted to Tumblr and will be sent to you as a PDF via Gmail. Anything fandom related will be posted (though it will state that it was a commission and your username will be included) unless you specifically state otherwise. Minor edits are free but larger ones start at £1.50 depending on how much you want me to change.

I DO NOT CONSENT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM TO HAVING ANYTHING I WRITE BE FED TO AI.

ANYTHING I WRITE IS MINE, I WROTE IT

Reacting to The Vampire Lestat - Part V (with a bit of spoilers and maybe important quotes?)

Armand!

YAY!

Okay, what the hell is happening?

??????

Seriously, WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?

Am I lost because I'm reading the Brazilian Portuguese version and maybe it's not properly translated?

*Downloads an English PDF copy* Yeah, this isn't much better and it looks like it was poorly transcript.

I'm still not sure I'm following...

Well

Whatever

I still like this anyway?

Also, I can see I'll have to read at least this book twice anyway. Maybe more or even the whole chronicles.

Because since Armand showed up I'm DEVOURING this and I can see myself maybe missing a few details... I'll need to read it slower and savor it in the future. I also assume that knowing more of the lore will give me perspective on a future read.

Armand is never boring.

Still my favorite character. :) Let's hope nothing ever ruins that. :) /hj

Not one Lesmand/Armandstat interaction is wasted tbh, I don't care if they're vibing or hating each other's guts, they're always A MOMENT™.

Let's hope nothing ever ruins that. :) /hj

They also have some pretty valid and intriguing conversations, really.

The impression I get is that they want to stay close, but deep down know it's better not to because they're so messed-up and would be even more messed-up as friends or else (and maybe it's the or at least one of the reasons why they attract each other?), but there's some frustration in that acknowledgement too. Like, doing something because you should is not the same as doing it because you want to and... Well.

I mean, there's more I could say, but this is the short version of how I generally feel about them lol.

Can't wait to see all of this on season 3.

Assad is right, I want Armand to be unhinged too. So glad we're on the same page about all thigs Armand ever and that the spirit of Armand posses Assad on a daily basis so he can play him 100% the way I imagine him. SMILING THROUGH IT ALL, CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS MY LIFE RN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also ready for more Lestat (Armand's version) and finally some Armand (Lestat's version). Let the battle begin. I wonder who will be more insufferable.

Little bit of Armand's back story. :/ I wanna put him in a bubble.

I don't really think I'll be interested in Marius, tbh.

Anyway... He's not here yet.

Gabrielle jumps from roofs like Cat Woman and Armand quickly and silently vanishes from places like Batman. I hope we keep the Gotham-esque vibes of these scenes. I think it's super cool tbh.

I also love seeing Armand talking to people telepathically? Feels so much deeper and kind of poetic, idk. Not to mention is such a cool concept. I hope the show explores more of that.

Also, when he stops blocking his thoughts and let's someone peek at his thoughts it feels intimate? And not necessarily romantic or anything like that, but just like, "hey, this is a little piece of my soul, I'm sharing it with you". Or maybe I'm too romantic and trying to find the beauty in everything lol.

But then he finally speaks out loud and it feels deeper and more meaningful as well? I don't know. Maybe I'm becoming insane.

Lestat went like 3 pages without mentioning Armand's beauty. I'm proud of him.

Nevermind, now he is mentioning it 50 times per sentence. Even more than he did before. It's like he regretted it and it's making up for lost time lmao.

Some of the words Lestat has used to describe Armand so far: beautiful, sublime, ethereal, exquisite, perfect, soft, saint, angel (there's more, but it's been so many synonyms for beautiful I can't remember... still, you get the point). Not to mention comparing him to a Caravaggio and Da Vinci paintings.

I feel like he'll run out of words to describe him pretty soon.

I guess we all feel pretty (not) normal about Armand.

This is also ruining it for me, because if someone doesn't describe me as "irresistibly beautiful" then what is even the point, really...

And it's not like they're a couple or anything, SO??? STOP!!!

They're not lovers, they're not friends, they're not enemies, they're a fourth and more sinister thing that not even them can classify, let alone my mere mortal self.

Anyway, I hope Lestat will be even more annoying describing Louis. He set the bar too high now.

I wonder if Louis appears (for a significant amount of time) on this book.

I hope so, but I don't know.

"But I was so glad it was finished. So glad that we could go on. Yet I held to the bars for a long time just looking at the distant woods, and the dim glow far beyond that the city made upon the lowering clouds. And the grief I felt was not only for the loss of him, it was for Nicki, and for Paris, and for myself." This is sad...

"So let him be your patron saint if you need it" LMFAOOOOOO.

Is Gabrielle wrong, though?

NO, SHE ISN'T!

Just have fun with your immortality instead of going on an uncertain quest to find Marius? Stop being stupid???

You'll probably just find danger or disappointment. Or both.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF REASON, LESTAT!

"And the sense of grief came back to me, the realization that we were really going, that it was finished with Nicolas and finished with the Children of Darkness and their leader, and I wouldn't see Paris again, or anything familiar to me, for years and years. And for all my desire to be free, I wanted to weep." So, he finally starts making a life for himself away from his abusive family. Then, he is forcefully turned into a vampire, has to live this double life with mortals, without ever being able to be completely open, honest and have real, deep relationships with them. Later, he turns Gabrielle, Nicki, meets Armand and the other of his kind, but they're all so troubled or with completely different interests... And it's clear as a day that they can't stay together anymore, he's slowly coming to the realization he's losing everything and everyone he knows and will soon be alone again... I'm (not) fine.

Also, this is so BPD-coded of him. He's had these pretty sad and traumatic moments, but he never allowed himself to feel those emotions for too long, he always found stuff to distract himself with, tried to see the "the good side" of things, embrace them, be positive instead etc, but you can only ignore it so much until it becomes such a big problem you can't possibly avoid anymore. And then the emotion hits 9483958345x harder than it would have if you processed things properly and had better coping mechanisms. Like, I get him, but OMG. Get him some vampire therapist.

Btw, Armand feels pretty BPD-coded too.

I also heard somewhere that Armand is a Scorpio?

And Lestat is another BPD Scorpio...

That would explain A LOT actually lmao.

End of "The Vampire Armand" chapter and they're parting ways.

So I guess I'll just rot and die, then?

Or...

...Armand will return in the worst possible way lmao.

I tried to find a gif of 2x05 saying "everything is fine!" to represent how I'm feeling right now, but failed, so consider it done anyway. Everything is (not) fine!

#interview with the vampire #lesmand #armandstat #not sure if this is good btw but i did it once and people interacted with the post so now i feel like i need to keep doing it?#i'm kind of serious about following patterns and hate breaking them so i have to keep this going now but hopefully it's still fun to people

what are your favorite rock biographies, of the ones you’ve read?

My Angie Bowie shirt reacting to David Bowie's death for illustrative reasons. Obviously, it's sad.

Oh well, I'm not well versed in biographies in general. My literary taste doesn't go much in that direction. Starting to read biographies was a somewhat impulsive decision due to curiosity, but I didn't really venture into biographies that weren't related to the Stones or David Bowie, the two subjects that interest me most.

As for that, although it makes me sob and cry and makes me have empathy triggers that I didn't know I had, Backstage Passes: Life on the Wild Side with David Bowie by Angie Bowie was the most memorable biography for me and made me realize a side of him that I never dared to consider before.

Many people have an aversion to Angie simply because David did the same, and because of that, they disregard the things she says. The story she told wasn't just half of his story; it was her story. She lived it and has the right to tell her version and her feelings. I won't even mention the erasure that fans try to make of her in David's life.

Angie, Cynthia Powell (Lennon), Chrissie Shrimpton, Marianne Faithfull, and other ex-girlfriends of famous singers have the right to tell their version of the story and deserve respect. Calling any of them liars for saying bad things about your idols — which are probably real — is ridiculous.

That said, her book is my favorite in that it leaves me simply devastated and heartbroken. I promise you won't be the same after finishing this book. Feel free to message me if you need a PDF to read it, but I encourage you to purchase if you can afford it.

In second place is Keith Richards' book, Life, because I had so much fun reading about his childhood and his grandfather, Gus. Writers' books about Mick Jagger, while good (I like and use them as a source), simply cannot compare to a primary source from someone who was as deeply involved as Keith. Keith focuses on his story, which makes sense, and doesn't really delve into his bandmates' relationships. It is a valuable material tho.

Dr Ron and Mrs Hepplethwaite Try To Save the World - A Rel1ct Playthrough

The Game:

The Players:

Chris and Morgan (who is the 'I' in this post)

~~~

What follows is a duo playthrough of BrewistTableTopGames' horror game, Rel1ct. This game is intended to be played alone but has optional variant rules for playing as a pair, which we used. Our results are probably not typical - but we had a ton of fun!

The game requires a standard deck of playing cards, one D6 for each player, a notebook/pen to respond to prompts, and the Rel1ct PDF. Players draw cards to determine which challenge they encounter from the Rel1ct PDF, roll to see how well their characters do, and use those combined results as a writing prompt to record how their characters reacted and felt.

The Rel1ct PDF suggests writing a few sentences for each prompt. Chris and I wrote freely (sometimes for 10 minutes) until we reached the final stage of the game, the Entity in Section Three. What follows is the internal monologues of two characters who were uniquely unqualified for this particular quest.

I have written and presented our writing in the same order that Chris and I read them aloud to each other.

BEWARE: This playthrough involves spoilers for the writing prompts in Rel1ct. I got a great deal of joy going into this adventure blind - as you'll see, our characters weren't really suited for the task, but I think we generated quite an interesting narrative because of it!

If you're interesting in playing this game, consider running your own playthrough before reading this one.

~~~

The Characters:

Chris is playing a military astrologist named Dr. James Ron Walker Jr.

Morgan is playing a concerned mother and pillar of the local community, Mrs. Viola Hepplethwaite.

~~~

The Hopes and Trepidations

At the start of the game, characters generate 6 hopes/trepidations that will be used during gameplay. We alternated rolling and reading aloud - and quickly realised we were making characters with very different perspectives on life.

Dr. James: I fear there will be no world left for the children.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope that my best friend, Mrs. Margaret Thursgood, is alright. That glow on the hillside is awfully near her house and we were to play bridge together this coming Friday.

Dr. James: I hope that when my children are older, they will call me. That is, if their mother hasn't poisoned them against me.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope the village survives. The village fete is next week and I was so looking forward to the apple-dunking stand.

Dr. James: I fear that my hypothesis of universal obliteration is correct.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope I have time to bake next week. It has been an age since I last cooked cinnamon buns, and I do miss their sweetness.

Dr. James: I hope the mother of my children and her Italian lover drown on one of their ridiculous swingers' cruises.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope that my advertisment in the paper for a new bicycle gets seen. My current one is so fiddly on the chain.

Dr. James: I fear that all my training as an elite military astrologer will not be enough to save mankind.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope darling Eustace gets over his fear of frogs. It would be lovely to be able to go for family picnics at the pond again.

Dr. James: I fear the antipsychotics the military doctor prescribed are something far more sinister.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: I hope this unworldly entity doesn't interfere with the bi-annual town planning meetings. We were so close to getting that new community herb garden last time.

Totals:

Dr. James: 4 trepidations, 2 hopes

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: 6 hopes (she fears nothing, and her personality has sufferd greatly as a result)

~~~

Part One: Setting Out (Characters describe their initial reactions to the forest. Afterwards, I segue immediately into the drawing and resolving of encounters)

Mrs: Hepplethwaite: I am so relieved to have made the formal acquaintence of Dr Ron, whose weekly horoscopes I am always certain to read in the local paper. He breathes quite heavily, though, and as we make our way through this dark and frankly freezing cold forest, I am worried something may hear us. They say a comet has landed on the hillside. If darling Eustace is to have a chance at attending Eton this fall, I must do something about this unearthly invader.

Dr. James: I feel that the forest was designed for men. I think Mrs. Hepplethwaite is uniquely unsuited for this environment, and I do not know why she has come. I do not see the forest; I see only the potential for ambush.

I smell Mrs. Hepplethwaite. It stirs no reaction, but it is distinct.

[8 Clubs]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: That awful breathing wasn't Dr. Ron after all - it was a rash of dreadful lesions! They burst forth across our skins so swifly, so silently, that we made some progress through the forest before I realised the single set of straining lungs had turned into a chorus!

How awful! Seeing my own skin turn against me, feeling my own pores pant and pull at the humid vapours of this terrible night, I realised things would never again be the same. It matters not if this terrible foe from the stars interferes with the town planning meeting. Even if we survive and get a new community herb garden and everything else we've ever dreamt of, I know there are forced from beyond the known universe that can turn one's very skin against one's self.

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: The sense of breathing pustules is strange. At first I believed it to be a side effect of the medication that strange military doctor gave me. To take my mind off the discomfort, I thought of the day I would once again see John and Peace. It did not take much analysis to realise perhaps the distance between us, whilst stripping me of my purpose as a man, might be best for them. It would be a shame for them to see me so disfigured by alien forces.

(Dr. James loses 1 Hope)

[6 Hearts]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: We have definitely travelled through this part of the wood before. Dr. Ron ripped his jacket on the bushes and - look there, just ahead of us! The very same scrap of paisley wool pulled from his rather odd-looking attire.

I myself am certain that is the stone I broke my sensible but elevated heeled shoes upon not ten minutes prior. If there were more light, or if I was less tired, I would look for it.

The answer quickly came to me - break the time cyle by forcing new events to occur. I requested that Dr. Ron tell my horoscope, as the incursion of the terrible space entity prevented the Sunday paper - and his esteemed horoscope - from being published this week.

Upon hearing my request, which had not been made during our previous trek through this portion of time, Dr. Ron made the most incredible noise in the back of his throat. He said we didn't have time to marvel over the intricacies of Scorpio with Mars ascending just now. I agreed there was wisdom in this observation and - time loop defeated - we carried on.

Dr. James: Is this deja vu? Am I stuck in a time loop? Or has this insane woman been waxing on like a haunted Scrabble set for a hundred years?

The sun and stars spin as the universe expands, grinding to a stop as the rotation of the Earth slows to a halt. She natters on still. Is she talked to me? The stars are so far away and their lights are dying now. Does she think I am actually listening, or does she know I am trying to tune her out?

All time has run out. If she has a fall, I will leave her.

Oh, that strange time issue seems to have passed. I will try not to think about the aeons that passed, unless the effect returns.

[King Diamonds]

Dr. James: What is man? I am a shell, a husk capable of knowing it is empty and nothing more. But.. but wait! If I am empty, where is the red coming from?

The stars feel like home as I lie on this alien world, surrounded by forgotten trees, the choes of self and Mrs. bloody Hepplethwaite.

There.

A shred of what was, an angry woman fully dressed on a nudist beach. I know she is mad at me but I know not what 'me' is. I hope she is happier now than she was in that moment.

I must have hit my head when I fell. I think I'll be OK in a bit.

(Dr. James loses 1 Hope)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: We were aiding on another up a steep portion of the forest floor, which we could not find a way around, when it happened. Dr. Ron was above me, hand extended, backlit by an unearthly glod that poured down from the accursed hilltop - and I realised I could not remember the face of my darling Eustace.

The realisation was so complete and upon me so entirely that I gasped aloud, released Dr. Ron's hand, and fell to the ground with my arms clasped about my head. It mattered not that twigs tore my bodice and stones ripped through my skirts - the foul entity atop the hill had stolen the face of my son!

Well, I don't mind saying that I wept. I wept, and the tears looked red in the celestial flow pouring from the night sky, but still I wept.

I remained quite inconsolable until my gaze happened upon a little frog clinging to the trunk of a nearby tree. It seemed to look at me, black eyes large and glassy, resplendant with the incandescent fogs sweeping down from the skies. In a moment, I remembered our family picnics at the pond, and how poor Eustance has always been so scared of the very creature staring back at me now.

In a moment, my son's face returned to me, bursting through my mind like a sparkler: narrow, handsome, slicked back hair and starched collar. Oh, Eustace. I will defeat this entity. I will ensure you attend Eton this fall. Perhaps we will even picnic at the pond again.

Stranger things have happened.

[5 Clubs]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: We had been walking together, heads down, eyes dark, for so long without speaking that when the droning stared up, I thought it was Dr. Ron humming to himself. I joined in, hoping to rouse our spirits, but the hum grew louder and louder.

I was just beginning to realise the noise was not emanating from the esteemed doctor at all when a thousand tiny objects pelted at us from above.

They darted from the trees, fromt he bushes, from the stars themselves - tiny insects! I screamed, terrible sound ripping through the hillside, but stopped myself when the awful things began flying into my mouth!

When the pain started, I realised they were digging into my flesh. Burrowing down, lodging themselves under my flesh.

I screamed and screamed. I furrowed my own face with my fingernails, the pain was so great. I screamed so long and so hard that I don't think my vocal cords will ever work right again. Forevermore, I will only ever taste my own blood weeping from wounds inside my cheeks and tongue, and the hard bodies of alien bugs crushed against my gnashing teeth...

(Mrs. Hepplethwaiate loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: Call me old-fashioned, but I hate to see a woman crying blood. There's just something about it.

After we had recovered, we climbed on. It was dusk when the constant out-loud novelisation of our journey by one Mrs. Hepplethwaite attracted a swarm of iridescent bugs.

Whilst clearly otherwordly, the little fuckers seemed to prefer the taste of a woman. I don't blame them. Having tried both in a black market delicatessen during my third tour of combat, I can confirm categorically that the fairer sex are indee-

My she's really struggling with those bugs.

[Queen Clubs]

Dr. James: Before my civilised forebrain had begun to comprehend the creature that burst from the underbrush, my highly toned, military hindbrain had asessed the situation. Dropping to one knee and drawing my revolver from my ankle holster, I put 6 rounds into the crooked remnant of a deer.

One hit it between the eyes.

Another also between the eyes.

The third was an inch off target, which I corrected for by putting Bullets Four and Five squarely between the eyes.

As the sixth shot hit the beast between the eyes, I had only one thought: 'Why is it so dry?' Stretched thin and bleached by the sun, the skin of the deer appeared to be a suit worn by something else entirely, to which it was hopelessly ill-fitting.

Whilst the monster's momentum carried it to my feet, I did not know fear until I saw its component parts shatter and skitter up a nearby tree. Looking down at the weapon in my hand, I saw the first had beome rusted, the second old and leathered.

I dropped the gun and put my hand in my pocket. Best not to let Mrs. Hepplethwaite worry.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The bugs quite took it out of me, so when some kind of four-legged monstrocity thundered out of the brush toward us, I positively threw myself upwards and outwards, away from harm's reach.

Oh, Eustace, I am so glad you weren't there to see me climb that tree. The speed, the grace - you would have thought I spent all my spare moments leaping arboreal distances like some kind of Tarzan.

From my position atop a sturdy limb, I could just make out the events occuring below. Some kind of stag had charged us, though the poor creature had been rendered horribly twisted by the influence of the entity. Its mouth and jaws were all wrong.

Oh Eustace, no hunter would ever have sought this prize, nor mounted its head upon the wall!

I must say, Dr. Ron demonstrated the most peculiar - andyet effective - methods of dealing with this monstrous stag. He was all pinwheeling arms and kicking legs, knees and feet achieving heights that nearly rivalled that of the animal.

I know not how he dispatched the terrible creature, only that we survived. I shudder to think what may await us at the summit of this hill.

~~~

The Top of the Hill (character describe their emotions as they approach the Entity, then the Entity itself)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The village was right: whatever this creature is, it arrived on a comet. The entire top of the hillside had been cleaved away. We arrived at last, not at a summit but in a cratered valley.

It is difficult to find words to describe the unearhtly entity that crouched there upon its rocky perch. There were tentacles, surely, and a beak that remsembled that of a squid's, but also I seemed to discern through gusts of terrible smoke the beady eyes of a frog and also feathers of a sort.

Truth be told, I was not certain how far I could trust what I was seeing. The pain of the burrowing insects was still very much with me, as was the horror of that moment in which I could not remember the face of my son. However awful these sensations, it seemed to me that something else settled over our little party as Dr. Ron and I created a burning ridge and descended toward the Being From The Stars: some foul influence that crowded my mind with evil chittering, that brushed against the inside of my skull and left slimy terror in its wake.

Dr. James: The crest of the hill brought with it a view of the sun, vast and indomitable: a sphere that filled the sky, its surface breathing boils that erupted into solar flares which, in turn, scattered iridescent swarms of light.

Its heat, drying these old soldier's eyes to pinholes.

I miss my gun, though I knew any bullet would take too long to reach this celestial monstrosity.

Solaris. Man's oldest foe.

[10 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The creature opened its terrible beak and - seeming to peer directly into my soul as it id so - belched. The fumes were acidic and unbearably hot, as if spewed from the depths of Hell itself. As I coughed and hacked, feeling I must go blind or die, an odd thought occurred: I would never play bridge with my good friend Margaret again, for as a resident of this very hillside, she is surel dead.

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: Colours broke upon me like a prism. In the crater below us, an unspeakable mess croaked in alien mockery. I no longer fear the antipsychotic medications prescribed to me are no longer worked. I have never been saner.

(Dr. James loses 1 Trepidation)

[King Spades]

Dr. James: A second nebulonic ejaculation of energies, this time a projected wave that missed me completely. Unfortunately, it hit Mrs. Hepplethwaite.

(Dr. James loses 1 Trepidation)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The colours! The colours! The colours within the eyes of this foul demon! No wonder Eustace fears the frog so - they are terrible to behold!

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

[8 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The gnawing of insects was nothing compared to the humming of this Being From The Stars. My flesh seemed to shiver, as if it were all of a piece, and then runnel and drip from my bones. Oh Eustace! Oh Eton!

(Mrs. Hepplethwaite loses 1 Hope)

Dr. James: Pulsating like the heart of a neutron star, humanity's amphibian foe retched and groaned, vomiting out microwaves that I'm sure - had I not been trained by the British army and the Stargazer's Society - would have affected me in the same way they appeared to affect Mrs. Hepplethwaite. That old girl sure can take a hammering.

[7 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The shriek that emanated from the Alien Being rivalled my own in the forest, when th bugs burrowed beneath my skin. I am certain one of my eardrums burst, for I could feel blood running down the side of my neck.

Dr. James: The thought occurs to me now, in this my final hour (and Mrs. Hepplethwaite's final minute), that, in strange irony, my theory of universal obliteration was correct.

At that thougt, the beast screamed. Perhaps I had unwittingly projected my own waves, but not waves of aggression - waves of positive energies!

By God, if it turns out Sandra's hippy bullshit was right...

(Dr. James loses 1 Tredpidaton)

[9 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: In the moments after its scream, silence poured forth: a silence more awful than everything that had gone before. Then the air was full of sound and movement - more insects!

They poured out of the Alien Being with disgusting, deadly grace. Not wanting to submit myself to these creatures again, I threw myself to the ground and covered myself with all the ash and burnt detritus I could manage. Oh, how glad I was that only poor Dr. Ron was there to see me in my fallen state - but the desperate act appeared to work.

Some part of myself (smell, perhaps? though I had sprinkled myself liberally with Eau de la Ode before leaving the house on this awful quest, and could not possibly have smelled) had been disguised. The awful young of the Being From Space, left me in peace.

Dr. James: Centering myself, using the breathing technique Sandra's unqualified life coach tried to teach me, I took a deep breath. Opening my eye a moment later, I saw before me the pawn of a billion hungry geometries spiralling for domination of my world. My children's world.

'For Peace!' I yellowed, the sheer force of my vibe stripping the anomaly's young from their many polyhedral bones.

'For John!' I screamed, floating four inches off the floor.

(Dr. James loses 1 Trepidation)

[5 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: The creature, perhaps incensed by the thwarting of its foul brood, raised its tentacles. I shivered backwards but - too late - the Being let all its protrusions drop at the same time.

The shockwave swept through my bones, through my poor melted flesh. A haze of red drifted over my vision and, turning to Dr. Ron, I could see in his visage what must be occurring upon my own: white eyes turned red, blood flowing freely.

Dr. James: Countering my power with its own, the creature struck me down. What harmful thoughts must it have conjured to strike at me with such force, such negativity?

My eyes, my eyes, the balls of my eyes are exploded. It is much harder now to hold on to those happy thoughts.

[2 Spades]

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: Why did we come here? Something about Eton, about my son. Why, it is only a jelly, a squealing space jelly, and yet it will surely be the end of us all.

Dr. James: What do you even do in this situation? I'd like to go home, but without my eyes, how will I find the way?

[4 Spades]

Dr. James: Still blind, an unearthly noise fills the air. Am I to smell my way home?

Shit. Why am I looking for my eyes? Remember your training, soldier. They trained you for this.

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: Luckily, I was deafened in one ear or else the music the Space Being wrought using the winds would surely have driven me mad. Its tentacles pluck at the air, and oh how its beak snaps...

[3 Spades]

Dr. James: One last happy thought. Something to peel back the abyss. The happiest day of my life.

The birth of my son.

Sandra wanted to call him 'Peace', but I convinced her we could call the next one 'Peace'. I did not want a second child, nor did I want her to rion it like she ruined everything else.

The negativity was exactly the window my foe needed. I know not by what means I was made dead, only this: If Pedro's death is hald this bad, there may yet be a God.

(Dr. James loses a Hope when he has no more. He dies.)

Mrs. Hepplethwaite: Dr. Ron has fallen. I don't know why he doesn't get up. The... thing was looking at him before he fell. Now it is turning toward me, and I dare not meet its froggy gaze.

API Vulnerabilities in Symfony: Common Risks & Fixes

Symfony is one of the most robust PHP frameworks used by enterprises and developers to build scalable and secure web applications. However, like any powerful framework, it’s not immune to security issues—especially when it comes to APIs. In this blog, we’ll explore common API vulnerabilities in Symfony, show real coding examples, and explain how to secure them effectively.

We'll also demonstrate how our Free Website Security Scanner helps identify these vulnerabilities before attackers do.

🚨 Common API Vulnerabilities in Symfony

Let’s dive into the key API vulnerabilities developers often overlook:

1. Improper Input Validation

Failure to sanitize input can lead to injection attacks.

❌ Vulnerable Code:

// src/Controller/ApiController.php public function getUser(Request $request) { $id = $request->query->get('id'); $user = $this->getDoctrine() ->getRepository(User::class) ->find("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $id"); return new JsonResponse($user); }

✅ Secure Code with Param Binding:

public function getUser(Request $request) { $id = (int)$request->query->get('id'); $user = $this->getDoctrine() ->getRepository(User::class) ->find($id); return new JsonResponse($user); }

Always validate and sanitize user input, especially IDs and query parameters.

2. Broken Authentication

APIs that don’t properly verify tokens or allow session hijacking are easy targets.

❌ Insecure Token Check:

if ($request->headers->get('Authorization') !== 'Bearer SECRET123') { throw new AccessDeniedHttpException('Unauthorized'); }

✅ Use Symfony’s Built-in Security:

# config/packages/security.yaml firewalls: api: pattern: ^/api/ stateless: true jwt: ~

Implement token validation using LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle to avoid manual and error-prone token checking.

3. Overexposed Data in JSON Responses

Sometimes API responses contain too much information, leading to data leakage.

❌ Unfiltered Response:

return $this->json($user); // Might include password hash or sensitive metadata

✅ Use Serialization Groups:

// src/Entity/User.php use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Groups; class User { /** * @Groups("public") */ private $email; /** * @Groups("internal") */ private $password; } // In controller return $this->json($user, 200, [], ['groups' => 'public']);

Serialization groups help you filter sensitive fields based on context.

Understanding HLA Typing: Different Types and Their Importance in Medicine

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing plays a crucial role in modern medicine, particularly in organ transplantation, disease susceptibility studies, and drug reactions. The HLA genes encode proteins on the surface of cells, responsible for regulating the immune system. When it comes to matching donors and recipients for transplants or analyzing genetic predispositions, accurate HLA typing is vital. Let’s explore the different types of HLA typing used today and their unique applications.

Download PDF Brochure

1. Serological HLA Typing

Serological HLA typing is one of the oldest methods used for identifying HLA antigens. It involves mixing a patient’s lymphocytes with specific antibodies that react with HLA molecules. When the antibodies bind to matching antigens, complement proteins destroy the cells, and the reaction can be observed. Although this method was once widespread, it is less commonly used today due to its lower resolution and limited ability to differentiate between closely related HLA alleles.

2. Molecular HLA Typing

Molecular techniques have revolutionized HLA typing, providing higher resolution and accuracy. These methods detect the DNA sequences that encode HLA molecules, rather than relying on the physical antigens. There are several molecular HLA typing techniques, including:

a. PCR-SSP (Polymerase Chain Reaction - Sequence-Specific Primers)

PCR-SSP is a commonly used molecular method that amplifies specific regions of the HLA gene using sequence-specific primers. It allows for the detection of specific HLA alleles. This technique is highly reliable for identifying a broad range of HLA types, making it ideal for organ transplantation and disease association studies.

b. PCR-SSO (Polymerase Chain Reaction - Sequence-Specific Oligonucleotides)

In PCR-SSO, a region of the HLA gene is amplified, and the resulting product is hybridized to a panel of oligonucleotides bound to a solid surface. These oligonucleotides are designed to target specific HLA alleles. PCR-SSO offers higher resolution than PCR-SSP and is widely used in clinical settings for its ability to detect multiple HLA variants.

Request Sample Pages

c. Sanger Sequencing

Sanger sequencing is a well-established DNA sequencing technique used for HLA typing, providing high accuracy in identifying HLA alleles. By sequencing the DNA directly, it offers detailed information about the genetic makeup of the HLA region. Although more time-consuming and expensive than other methods, Sanger sequencing is often used for confirmatory tests when higher precision is needed.

d. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Next-Generation Sequencing is the latest advancement in HLA typing technology. NGS enables comprehensive and high-throughput sequencing of entire HLA genes, offering unparalleled resolution and accuracy. With the ability to sequence multiple samples simultaneously, NGS is increasingly being used for HLA typing in transplantation, personalized medicine, and immunogenetics research.

3. High-Resolution vs. Low-Resolution Typing

Low-resolution typing identifies broad groups of HLA alleles and is typically used for preliminary screenings or lower-stakes applications, such as bone marrow donor registries.

High-resolution typing involves a more precise identification of specific alleles, crucial for critical procedures like organ transplantation. It ensures a closer match between donor and recipient, reducing the likelihood of transplant rejection.

Conclusion

HLA typing is essential for ensuring successful organ transplants, studying genetic diseases, and understanding immune responses. With advancements in molecular techniques like PCR-SSP, PCR-SSO, Sanger sequencing, and Next-Generation Sequencing, HLA typing has become more accurate and accessible, making it a cornerstone of precision medicine. Each type of HLA typing offers unique benefits, and the choice of method depends on the clinical or research need. As technology continues to evolve, HLA typing will play an even more significant role in personalized healthcare and treatment strategies.

Fatigue tracking for mud motors and mwds in unconventional wells | Helmerich & Payne

As the industry continues to drill increasingly complex wells, the demand put on drilling equipment has increased and will continue to increase. Preventive maintenance often falls to the wayside in favor of keeping the same equipment operational for longer until a failure occurs, which can be very costly and potentially catastrophic to the equipment provider. Fatigue tracking makes it possible to predict failures ahead of time and prevent such incidents.

However, the most commonly used fatigue tracking methods are based only on rotating hours and do not take the bending stress into account. Electronic drilling recorders (EDR)coupled with bottom hole assembly (BHA) models allow for better estimation of the fatigue performance by calculating the actual bending stress along each piece of equipment, such as the mud motor or measurement while drilling (MWD) tool, leading to a more reliable fatigue tracking method.

A case study of fatigue on a common motor and MWD over the drilling life of a well provides valuable information on how to monitor and react to different fatigue scenarios. By using an advanced stiff string model to calculate stress distribution along the motor or MWD coupled with standard fatigue prediction models, valuable information can be learned about the motor and MWD conditions.

One case that will be examined involves a typical well trajectory such as those drilled in the US land market today which involve a high dogleg curve to reach a target formation, with dog leg severity (DLS)locally reaching 18 (deg/100') generating high bending stress and thus fatigue. The consequence on fatigue life can be dramatic through the BHA for even just one exceptionally high dogleg.

By using the continuous surveys taken by an MWD tool, to account for the actual tortuosity of the well, the potential fatigue becomes even more significant. Read out the full tech paper here: https://www.helmerichpayne.com/resources/technical-publications/fatigue-tracking-for-mud-motors-and-mwds-in-unconventional-wells or you can also download the pdf from here: https://www.helmerichpayne.com/media/technical-publications/Fatigue-Tracking-for-Mud-Motors-and-MWDs-in-Unconventional-Wells.pdf.

Biomass Gasification Market Will See Strong Expansion Through 2031

Biomass gasification is a process to convert biomass into gases and energy. This is done through combustion at high temperatures under a controlled oxygen supply. This process yields carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. The carbon monoxide produced is treated in water where it reacts with water molecules to further produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen hence produced is used as fuel or feedstock in several applications. Whereas, carbon dioxide is used by plants for photosynthesis. The biomass gasification market was valued at $88.0 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach $188.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8% from 2022 to 2031.

Biomass gasification market growth is driven by several factors, such as the presence of biomass in abundance. Since biomass is available in massive amounts, rather than being incinerated or ending up in landfills, biomass, especially MSW’s source of biomass, is combusted to produce heat and gas. This heat and gases are further used as fuel, feedstock, and other such uses.

The market is highly driven by increased activities in solid waste management, increased electrification in urban as well as rural areas, depleting fossil fuels, and rapid commercialization of biomass gasification. Reducing carbon footprint by producing energy from biomass boosts the growth of the biomass gasification market. Moreover, several governments are considering biomass gasification as a cleaner alternative to producing hydrogen and heat as relatively fewer greenhouse gases are emitted in the process rather than incinerating the biomass. However, high installation and maintenance costs discourage market growth at its full potential. This acts as a restraint for biomass gasification market growth.

The major challenge faced by the biomass gasification industry is that these gasification plants can only be set up majorly for small and medium outputs. The larger plants are expensive and require to be maintained frequently. This remains a great challenge to bring down the cost of the technology and hence commercialize the biomass gasification industry. However, the biomass gasification market opportunities lie in overcoming the challenges by advancing and commercializing the existing technologies.

The biomass gasification market size is segmented on the basis of gasifier type, application, source, and region. By gasifier type, the market is segmented into moving or fixed beds, fluidized beds, entrained, and others. By gasifier type, the moving or fixed bed gasifiers segment dominated the market share for 2021. The moving or fixed bed gasifier can be operated at very high temperatures which acts as a driving factor for market growth.

However, they produce a high amount of tar or unfinished char, and thus, during the biomass gasification market forecast, the fluidized bed is expected to grow at a higher CAGR. Fluidized bed gasifiers are complicated systems, but are capable of producing gas with a very high heating value.

Depending on the application, the market is divided into chemicals, liquid fuels, power, and gas fuels. The power sectors garnered the largest market biomass gasification market share in terms of revenue for 2021 and are expected to continue to grow at a higher CAGR. This is attributed to the fact that the heat energy produced will majorly be sourced into the production of electricity as it will prove to be a cleaner form of electricity generation, especially in a scenario where reducing carbon footprint and increasing primary energy production is being sought out.

On the basis of source, the market is further divided into solid biomass, liquid biomass, biogas, municipal waste, and others. The solid biomass segment dominated the market share for 2021 and is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to a large amount of available solid biomass in the forms of wood pellets, wood chippings, corncobs, soybeans, sugar cane, switchgrass, woody plants, and food processing residues.

Region-wise, the biomass gasification market analysis is done across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa). Europe dominated the market for biomass gasification in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the projection years. This is owing to the presence of major players in the market and the fact that Europe is committed to reducing its dependence on fossil fuels for primary energy following its 2030 and net zero 2050 targets. European Union is a big consumer of primary energy owing to its high energy demands during winter as well as summer seasons owing to its weather, and thus, relying on biomass gasification seems as a much more feasible and environment-friendly option to cut down carbon emissions and produce energy.

The key players in the biomass gasification industry are Beltran Technologies, Inc., Vaskiluodon Voima Oy, EQTEC plc, Chanderpur Works Private Limited, Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Infinite Energy Pvt. Ltd., Valmet Corporation, KASAG Swiss AG, Goteborg Energi AB, and Thyssenkrupp AG.
