TASK O3: PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!

For Task 03, we've chosen to take it to an AU level for your characters. Just for fun, imagine your character as well-known person on YouTube! Influencer, content creator, social media BNF - whatever they consider themselves, they know they are popular for what they do on the app, and the algorithm loves them. You can describe the channel, their lives and celebrityism beyond their channel (if they have that: published books, conventions, scandals, weirdos on tumblr trying to use their faces for characters...👀👀). This task can be presented in any way you choose: a write-up, picset, graphics, bulletpoints, combination thereof. Mod Luna has found some fun youtube psd templates, optional for people to use: [1]...[2]...[3]

this task idea was the brainchild of @tempestaslokni's mun Laura!

Twisted Wonderland/ Otome AU

Warning: not really dark themes? Mentioned. Gn reader. English is not my first language.

Notes: it’s been a really long time since. I was going to post this as soon as finishing translating this but my mid-term exams were came up so I couldn’t post anything. Anyway I hope you like this post. I will post Octavinelle part soon.

Summary: : One day, you opened your eyes and found yourself in Twisted Wonderland. And the task the System gave you is to get one of the lead characters love meter to 100% by the end of the main story and reach their happy ending.

Parts : rules , 1 , 3 , 4

Leona Kingscholar

Lonely , grumpy savanaclaw's dorm leader, second prince Leona Kingscholar. I can't say that your first official meeting with Leona will be very good, and the same goes for the percentage of your love meter. First of all, good luck, your job is very difficult. However, after the overblot incident, your job will be a little easier.

Leona does not trust anyone due to his nature and experiences. He is sure that you are approaching him for a reason he has difficulty guessing. He will do his best not to get attached to you. After all you will also prefer someone else compared to Leoana , who has always been the other option throughout his life. So please stay by his side when he tells you to get lost, because deep down he loves being with you. I would also like to point out that being by his side will increase your love meter a lot as he runs away from you.

With Leona, it usually happens when he uses you as a pillow and sleeps (sometimes you swear he doesn't sleep). But you try not to talk too much in this activity, because the last time he bit you because you nagged about being late for class and your friends waiting for you while he was taking a nap . Afterwards he threatened to bite you again (not too harshly) and eat you. Although this unexpected event increased Leona's love meter considerably, you understood the warning that day very clearly. Sometimes you two would play chess. And usually, let's say, you are the loser. Leona loves the facial expressions you make when you are trying to figure out his next move or when you are cornered and lose. He also shows the privilege of being a prince in the later stages of your relationship, both materially and emotionally.

Now let's come to Leona in dark mode. Leona is a possessive lover by nature. Although it bothers him when you spend time with others, he respects you, but she can enter dark mode, especially depending on how he learns about your friendship with Malleus Draconia. In fact, Leona is also aware of the existence of the system. Not talking to him about this system stuff or following someone else's route along with his route can again put him in dark mode. Leona in dark mode is quite possessive. He wants everyone to know that you belong to him. He even leaves clues that others can understand without you noticing. Leona is very cunning and intelligent. He knows that brute force is not enough to possess you completely. He acts like a perfect lover in your relationship. He monopolizes you financially and emotionally . He introduces you to his family on holidays. Even if you don't realize it, these meetings are called engagement meetings in the press. Farena is ready to do anything for his only brother.

Ruggie Bucchi

Laid-back yet cunning, Savanaclaw second year student Ruggie Bucchi. Dear player who chose the Ruggie route, first of all, if you want to increase your love meter, I should mention that a portion of your income will go to buying donuts for this hyena boy. Please adjust your income with him in mind. Everything else aside, it won't be that hard to be friends with Ruggie, but it will take a long time for him to fully trust you and increase his love meter. However, once you exceed that limit, your love meter will increase continuously.

Your time with Ruggie is usually spent eating meals together or listening to him complain about Leona. Listening to him, giggling while he complains... oh, you are really too much for Ruggie... Also, watching him in club activities will increase your love meter quite a bit. Now, I may have said at the beginning that a portion of your income will go to this hyena boy, but that doesn't mean he does nothing. Although he doesn't get gifts very often, this hyena boy saves money to buy you gifts on special occasions. Even though he can't spoil you right now, he promises himself that he will spoil you as he wants in the future.

Now let's talk about Ruggie in dark mode...Ruggie knows he's not the best. After all, your environment is full of people who are smarter, more talented, richer, and more handsome than him. What kind of relationship you have with these people doesn't matter to Ruggie in dark mode, what matters is that Ruggie is inadequate to them in many ways and that you might leave him because of his inadequacy. What if you find someone who can spoil you as you want? Someone who can give you the life you deserve...

At first, you don't notice anything, but the "suspicious accidents" that people around you experience make you realize what's going on quickly. Ruggie doesn't use his unique spell on you, meaning he doesn't use it to a certain extent, but this doesn't apply to others. I think you can get help from Leona when you start to suspect him.

If you don't put him in normal mode before it's too late, he won't hesitate to use his unique spell on you. Ruggie's only wish is to live a happy life with you, even if that means he has to make you his puppet...

Jack Howl

Looks tough on the outside but is actually quite caring, first-year Savaclaw student Jack Howl. Your love meter increases little by little after you meet Jack. This wolf boy really respects you a lot. After all, it is really respectable that you, who is non-magical and from another universe, can deal with so many things. Your friendship will progress in a short time with the right steps.

In your free time, you usually do sports together, forced by Jack. If you are not used to sports, I wish you luck. It will be quite difficult to keep up with Jack, but don't worry, there will be short breaks and motivational speeches and cheers from Jack that he thinks are motivating in his own way. This wolf boy does most of what you want, even if he doesn't want to show it. Even if he doesn't like it. Do you want to play with his wolf form? Okay, but only for 5 minutes. Do you want to stroke his tail? Okay, but don't take too long. Do you want to go shopping with him? Okay, but don't expect too much comment from him. Because when he asked you what you thought about the last outfit you tried on, he praised you in his own way and the store employees looked at you strangely. Even though Jack supports and praises you in everything, his praise can be a bit strange. Also, when you cheer for him or compliment him, don't be fooled even if he tells you that it’s unnecessary or that you're wrong. His tail shows how much he likes it. Jack may lie to you but his tail never does.

Jack has always respected your boundaries and still does. Even though his inner wolf side has completely different thoughts, he manages to control himself. However, if that dark wolf side of his loses control… oh boy. He changes from a gentlemanly man to a possessive, jealous, restrictive person. He questions everything you do. Why were you talking to that boy? Who is he? This can also lead to fights. If you can't get him to normal mode without his love meter going too high, it will debatable whether you'll get a very happy ending.

hiiii i just binge read all your fics and obsessed is an understatement!!!

idk if u take requests but i had an idea and it’s driving me crazy i just had to put it somewhere.

okay so i thought of it while reading the fic in which remus and sirius hear each other in bed at night.

well…. james and lily share quarters when tnehre head boy and girl, i know they don’t share a room exactly, but i was thinking: with all their tension building up throughout the years, especially that year, one of them hearing the other even if it was so so quiet would drive them crazy and i’d love to see your interpretation of how it goes.

i really hope you consider writing this but if you don’t thank you so much for all you’ve given the fandom!

ive never been thanked for giving to a fandom🥹🥹thankyousosomuch!

havent written exclusively jily smut yet but this one's for you anon<3

[cw for cute plot but with very filthy m/f smut below cut]

Head Boy and Head Girl. That was definitely one way to have her final year at Hogwarts, Lily thinks to herself. For one, she was forced to work with James Potter often. But the surprises didn't end there as she's progressively making sense of why James Potter became Head Boy.

In the first month she could still deny it, but with their rounds scheduled together, the endless meetings, and their regular check-in with Professor McGonagall, she can't avoid it anymore. James Potter was surprisingly and unfortunately... she shudders... responsible.

She tries-- very hard-- not to let anything show, especially knowing James Potter will run with any reaction he'll get from her. But the realisation hits her harder than a Hex sometimes. And it had been too much lately.

Like that time when they were deciding on which Prefect to assign on the fifth floor corridor. It's where their DADA professor had hidden a "secret special dark creature", and no one was permitted to use that floor for their own safety. The task of keeping that corridor empty fell on the Prefects. Lily had names ready, which included Lupin. She watched James' reaction and sure enough, he protested. He and his gang were always weirdly protective of that quiet Lupin.

"Davies can take Lupin's place."

Lily raised an eyebrow. "No one gets special treatment, Potter. I wouldn't have you use Lupin for whatever kind of mischief you otherwise reserved him for."

Potter held out his palms in the air and let out a small chuckle. "None planned, I'm afraid. Just that Davies is rather, how shall I call it..." He shrugs. "A bit of a pompous sod."

"And you'd rather have a pompous sod keep check of whatever dark creature is in there?"

"If the choice is either that or Peeves, Evans? Yep."

"What does Peeves have anything to do with this?"

As though he was waiting for that exact question, Potter leaned his head on the pillar as an arrogant grin on his face matched his tone. "Lupin is one of the few people who can go toe to toe with Peeves. There's Sirius, but he's out of the question. Not a Prefect and all that. Of course, I'm another option but I'll clearly be occupied, won't I?"

No words come to Lily. He was right. To think she was too caught up with the smaller picture of using Lupin to spite Potter.

"And," James adds, "Davies loves his authority. If anything, students passing by that floor wouldn't think twice in following what he says. While Lupin can help the first years get to their common rooms without being tormented by our resident poltergeist."

It's this point that Lily failed to contain the awe from her face.

"I know. I'm rather brilliant." James waggled his eyebrows.

She simply rolled her eyes in response then.

At present, she couldn't help but have all those other similar instances where James Potter surprised her of his maturity and dedication to his role fill her mind as she went searching for him. He just had to have Quidditch practice at the same time with their meeting, so now the task of passing him the minutes of meeting fell to her as Head Girl.

She could wait until tomorrow of course, but the thought of an unfinished business with James Potter didn't exactly sound appealing. She'd much rather be done with it as soon as possible.

The pitch was empty when she reached it. Practice must've been over. For a moment she dreaded the more complicated prospect of searching for James in the entire castle, but that was when she spotted Sirius Black.

"Where's your other half?" she demanded.

"Evans," he noted. "Good morning to you too." Then he proceeded his steps.

"Black, wait." Lily held out the paper. "Why don't you give him this."

He stared at it for a second, then glanced up to her. "I'm allergic to official documents. Sorry."

"Don't be an arse. I'm just asking you to pass it to him since you're attached at the hip anyways. And it would spare me the trouble of having to look for him."

"Do it yourself." Black grinned. "He's in the changing rooms, doodling the team's strategy like a proper swot."

Lily sighed. "Why can't you do it? Please," she added, begrudgingly.

Black shrugged, already walking off. "I'm not the Head Girl."

He was gone before she could even form a retort.

After dragging her feet to the changing rooms she found it as empty as the Quidditch pitch. Lily debated simply sending her owl, but in the end she decided against it since the Owlery is in yet another tower. She cursed Sirius Black in her head, dismissing this as some stupid prank. Honestly, why hadn't she expected that?

She then heard a distant noise. Someone was inside. Lily proceeded further and was about to call out Potter's name when she recognised the sound of water spraying down on tiled floors.

If this person really was Potter, he was in the middle of a shower.

Lily clamped her mouth shut and cursed Sirius Black again, retracting her steps as silently as possible.

As she turned for the exit she heard a noise from the shower. She thought it had been a hum-- that maybe James Potter was one of those people who sang while showering...

Except it was too faint and too guttural to be a hum.

When Lily heard the noise again, she was more than certain he wasn't singing. The noise shot right through her, leaving a shudder. She needed to leave. Now.

But as another soft moan echoed in the small room, Lily could distinctly tell it was indeed James Potter's raspy voice. And that just made everything worse.

Her face heated as it became harder to breathe. Suddenly all she could picture was James Potter-- just a few steps away-- completely naked, sopping wet... and touching himself. Her treacherous mind reminded her how he's always been showing off about his form and how he worked hard during the summer, plus with playing Quidditch all these years. The thought of that form he worked so hard on right now?

Lily swallowed, and that's when she realised her mouth was watering. She was mortified as much as she found herself frozen. Another moan slipped out from behind her, deeper and gruffer. And just like that her mouth wasn't the only thing that's wet.

She needed to go. She needed to go. She needed to go. "Fuck!" she hissed a whisper. This was wrong on so many levels.

One foot was out of the room when-- she dropped her wand.

Horrified, she didn't waste time picking it up and bolting out. She could only hope James Potter was... too busy... to have heard that.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Lily stayed at a deserted hallway overlooking the Great Lake for Merlin knows how long just collecting herself, questioning her life choices, and wondering if she should Obliviate herself. The thing is, distraction was just about impossible. She'd find herself circling back to all those sinful thoughts, and those sounds.

A voice broke through her spiral. She jumped at the unexpectedness but failed to make out the words. Turning to face the person, her knees almost gave out to the sight of none other than James Potter. He was still wearing his Quidditch uniform, which only sculpted his indeed very fit form. Why? Wasn't his practice over? Hadn't he already showered? Why did he have to wear that now?

She stared at him for a while and she saw how he was still expecting a response. "What did you say?" she asked dumbly.

Hands shoved in his pockets and grinning slightly, he stepped closer. "I said, are you all right?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" "Lily felt her breathing become unsteady once more and internally cursed herself. "And... why would you just come out of nowhere to ask me that? How did you even find me? What do you want?"

"Right," Potter chuckled. "You seem tense."

Lily took a deep breath. "I'm just tired. Look, I only meant to give you this." And finally, she was relieved from her task.

"Thanks, Evans." He said without sparing more than a second's glance at the paper.

"Sure." She then fixed her bag over her shoulder and walked past James Potter.

"Wa- where're you going?" He called behind her.

"Erm..." She hated that she didn't have an immediate reply. Anywhere was honestly better, with all those feelings she'd just shoved down already coming back to the surface as Potter looked at her with those round searching eyes. "My room."

"It's 4 in the afternoon on a Saturday."

"Your point being?"

Potter shut his mouth, whatever he wanted to say was left in his thoughts. "Nevermind."

"Okay... well, I'll see you around." Lily turned away once more.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you something."

"The answer is still no, Potter."

He laughed. "Not that." He stepped closer again, taking away the distance Lily just made.

"What is it..." She could smell his aftershave this close.

His glasses were skewed as his eyes scanned her. For the first time Lily felt an impulse to fix it on his nose. "Have you been looking for me?" he asked.

Lily had no idea how to deal with a James Potter like this. He was speaking in a softer voice and he was giving her a gentler gaze. It was far from his usual loud and uncaring tone along with his brazen grin. "I was," she replied. "Just to give you that."

"Right. And you were at the Quidditch pitch?"

She didn't like where this was headed. "Yeah. You had practice, of course that's where I'd look." At that, he simply nodded. "Why do you need to know?" she challenged.

James Potter's grin was back. "Guess I'm just curious."

Don't answer. Don't answer. Don't answer. "About what?"

He shrugged. "How long you can avoid what you know I'm talking about."

Lily decided to play his game. "What are you talking about?"

"Sirius told me he saw you," he said, stepping closer.

Lily held his gaze. "Oh? What else did he say?"

"That he told you where I was."

Nope. She couldn't do it. "Have you no shame?" Lily turned away, her cheeks heating up. "Whatever, okay. I didn't see anything."

Potter broke into a laugh. Of course he had no shame. "I didn't mean to make you... tense."

Still refusing to meet his face, Lily replied, "I'm perfectly fine."

"Evans," he called soflty, "I can tell your face is red."

"Maybe because this topic is largely inappropriate!"

"Alright, sorry," he said with another wave of chuckles. "I'm letting you go now."

Lily sighed in relief. "Thank you." She made one move to head off when Potter spoke once more.

"Just thought I'd let you know, I'd recognise your perfume anywhere."

There was just no way she was getting out of this unscathed. It became clear she should just stop resisting. Lily turned. "So, you knew I walked in."

Surprise was evident on Potter's face. Perhaps he expected Lily to walk away. "Not at first," he admitted.

"But you continued anyway." Lily took slow but consistent steps like a prowling cat, stopping right in front of Potter. He followed her every move with his gaze alone, half-lidded eyes trailed down to hers. "Would you do that if anyone else had walked in?" she added in a murmur.

Potter tilted his head. He had a dazed look, and his lips were parted. "You know I wouldn't."

Already this close, it didn't take much for their lips to meet in a kiss.

A shudder spread through Lily's skin in hearing a pleased but muffled sound from Potter. The thought of drawing more of those sounds from him filled her with dark anticipation. Big warm hands caressed her softly as she tugged on his hair. Too lost with the slick heat of James Potter's mouth, she gasped at the sudden solid brick of the wall against her back. James was crowding her there-- in the middle of the hallway where anyone could pass by and see.

"James..." she mumbled against his lips.

He responded with a groan, strong arms squeezing her. It was remarkably secure in his hold, and she could definitely feel his form. She took a self-indulgent moment to let her hands explore, never leaving his lips. From his sturdy chest to the narrowing of his waist. Merlin, she could do this for hours.

"Mmph..." James let out a deeper moan, and she felt it on her neck. "Lily..." His voice this close to her ear was nothing compared to hearing it in the shower. And for him to moan her name...

Lily's knees threatened to give out, and the certainty of being held firm by James almost convinced her. Instead, the palm on his chest pushed him until their lips were apart. "Not here," she whispered.

James stared at her for a while, still caught in a daze. She watched as her words settled in his mind, dilated pupils scanning her until they widened in realisation. Then, a smirk stretched his swollen lips. He looks as though the disbelief hasn't left him. That this really is happening. In all fairness, Lily couldn't believe it too.

"Wipe that stupid expression away and find us somewhere private, will you," she said with a chuckle.

His smirk stretched into a grin. "Yes, ma'am." He stole one last kiss before stepping back, pulling her with their linked hands.

James led them to an empty classroom. With a wave of his wand the lock clicked, and he was instantly back on her like a starved man, guiding her to the nearest desk. Lily welcomed every kiss before pulling his tight uniform over his head. "You found this room really quickly, huh." She couldn't help but notice.

"Hmm?" His shirt was now off, his hair was messier, and his glasses sat crookedly on his nose.

Finally, Lily fixed his glasses. "I just said, you seem to always know which places to look. You found me easily too, just earlier. I had to look for you for hours!"

Two blinks until he managed a response. "Oh." He shrugged. "Just... great sense of direction. May I?" he asked, glancing to the buttons of her shirt.

Lily gave him a look. "Since when were you a gentleman?" she said, then proceeded to unbutton herself. Much to her satisfaction, his eyes never left her hands.

"Since," he swallowed thickly, "since you bothered to find out."

"That doesn't make sense." Lily let her shirt fall from her shoulders and perched on the desk.

James' breaths were heavier. "No, it doesn't." His eyes stayed stuck on her breasts. He would lift his gaze to her eyes but they'd constantly fall back down. It was adorable.

With a fond smile straining her cheeks, Lily reached for James' hand and placed it on her left tit. "You can touch me, you know." She then pulled him closer, parting her legs to make space. "I want you to touch me."

A surprised laugh left James' throat. He bit his bottom lip, if only to contain his wide grin. "Fuck, Lily..." James surged forward into a desperate kiss, pressing down until Lily was lying back. Her skirt hitched up until it was now loosely around her waist. She could feel everything in this position, the most prominent being the erection against her own wetness, and the thrilling fact of being separated only by a few layers of clothing.

She bucked her hips impatiently, grinding against James. The groan she elicited from him went directly into her mouth. It's then she zeroed in on one goal. She needed to hear more.

While James' hands were otherwise engrossed with feeling up Lily's tits, she trailed hers downward, reaching for a buckle. James noticed with a gasp and pulled off to shoot her a look of pure want. Hooded eyes, heaving chest, and swollen lips curled into a grin. He was the image of a wet dream.

James watched as her deft fingers unbuttoned him, tugged his pants to pull out his hard cock. It fell right between her legs, sitting on top of the wet patch of her panties. Then, she stroked.

She was rewarded with a shaky moan from the man on top, his head dropped to rest on her neck as she found a rhythm. Right next to her ear, she could hear the shaky sighs and the small whimpers whenever she twisted her wrist just so. Then, an idea popped in her head.

"This was what you were doing in the shower?" she cooed.

"Oh, fuck..." he drawled before dissolving into a short laugh. He rocked his hips, aiding Lily's fist. It caused his cock to graze against her clit. She jolted in surprise just as a moan escaped her lips. "No," James continued, now gazing down at her. "This is infinitely better."

"James..." she whined, pleading. She didn't know what exactly, just that she wanted him to do something.

It's as though she flipped a switch in James' brain. He pulled up from lying on top of her, closed one hand around his cock and used his other to dip inside Lily's underwear, finally sliding his finger through her slick folds. Lily sobbed out a moan, her head falling back.

The finger stopped teasing and finally rubbed her clit. With Lily's mouth hanging open, she reconnected their lips until they swallowed each other's moans. Her hand that was still around his cock started jerking him off in time with his fingers. It prompted James to slip them inside her waiting hole and her other arm instantly flew around his shoulders, gripping tightly to ground herself from the whirlwind of pleasure.

They stayed in that perfect dance for a while as James' fingers tested different angles and eliciting different responses from Lily. When he found that delicious spot inside her, and she cried out from beneath him, he pulled out. Then, he got off her completely.

Before Lily could even form her protest, getting on her elbows to find exactly where he is, she was met with the sight of James getting on his knees between her legs. He delicately slid her knickers to one side-- then licked a stripe up her wet cunt.

Her head fell back down as she moaned hoarsely, a distant thought crossed her mind that hoped no one passed by this classroom, but it was quickly replaced by that same wave of arousal when she felt two fingers slip inside her again.

Just as she'd thought it couldn't get any better, James would moan-- and the vibrations went directly where his mouth kissed and sucked. It was too much.

"James!" She panted. "James, fuck, I'm... I think I'm go--" But James wasn't interested in helping her finish her sentence, speeding up his fingers, sucking harder, and moaning louder. She didn't stand a chance. Lily came in waves and waves, writhing in place as she was powerless to James' firm grip.

When the high subsided and she felt one with her body again, she didn't waste time pulling James up to his feet and smashing their lips to a heated kiss. Her hands crawled to his neglected cock, hot and leaking, and stroked him with all the intent to see him fall apart. His jaw fell slack and all he could do was turn into a mess of whimpers and groans.

A twitch in her hand told her he was close, and then he was coming a rope of hot white on her. It seemed forever that he recovered from his peak. "Fucking hell," he said after taking his first breath. "I don't think I came this hard in my life." He shook with laughter. The sight prompted a surge of emotion in Lily's chest that she couldn't help but drag him back into a long kiss.

The only coherent thought in her head was this couldn't be the last time this happened. "Ask me again, Potter," she said breathlessly, fixing his glasses back to the bridge of his nose.

It took him a long while to figure out what she wanted him to say, until finally, he grinned. "Lily Evans, will you go on a date with me to Hogsmeade?"

She mirrored his grin. "I'd go on a date with you wherever, James Potter."

The elation on his face could light up the entire castle on Christmas day. He let out one huff of laughter before collapsing on top of her and drowning her in kisses.

Hello culticterror 🙇🏻‍♀️ I'm a big fan of high protocol owner/slave kink especially under hypnosis if you're doming in a high protocol scenario what are some of your favorite ways to introduce new rules and play with a sub?

A very good question.

Rules are often a point of contention for me for numerous reasons but I love giving them regardless. You simply have to be smart about how you apply them. Rules have real long term effect, so they also have long term logistics to work out.

For example; a rule to pray to your Superior once a day. — while for some this would seem rather simple at first, it quickly becomes a test of your own ability to ensure you follow through, regardless of supervision which is never guaranteed.

I like to say I come with accessibility options, and it's taken to heart. With how common ADHD is, it can certainly be a lot harder for some to follow more than 2-3 active rules at a time.

So, opting for passive rules is often an easier way to start implementing them. Such as instead of needing my permission to orgasm every time since again I may not be available, having my submissive can instead be required to tell me every time they orgasm.

It's invasive and gives me more information about their habits, and it's extremely hot. Easy to enforce and easy to fuck up for small funish/punishments for those who enjoy those while also a suitable challenge for those who want to prove themselves and never fail their Superior.

But to start? No more than 8 rules when starting out; 10 is a bit of an overshoot you don't always have to reach, especially since it can be hard to come up with rules that aren't cumbersome or annoying. It's easy for things to get overwhelming.

As far as play goes with a sub in a high protocol situation, it all about the subtle control for me. Sly glances met with docile submission—little reminders of their position in contrast to my own. As well as the occasional arbitrary task or other.

Bringing hypnosis into it, it becomes a lot deeper of a bond. That kind of trust, to give someone control over you with a high protocol mindset is a lot of power. As long as you have well practiced agency, it's very fun although can still require careful management by the Tist.

For a smaller scene, there's a lot more you can reasonably get into with it. So I like to do my HP in sprints rather than marathons if that makes sense.

It takes two to tango regardless. So always make sure to vet (aka get to know and discern if they're a safe/good match for you) people before you get into anything too deep. Talk to them and learn about them for weeks at the least for that kind of level of surrender.

Not only for your own safety, but because you are want to be sure they can handle the kind of play you want without taking shortcuts that could spiral out of control.

High protocol has never been a very flashy affair as far as I'm concerned. It's quiet and intense, but often simple. So you don't really need to dig too deep to find satisfaction in your role.

No pressure, but I can't stop wondering about what happens in the Secretary AU when Bruce needs to travel for work--does he take Jason, having him act as his PA, or does Bruce go insane while tasking someone to look after him in Gotham while he's gone? And if he DOES tag along, what happens with Damian?

Oh! This is such an interesting idea to ponder. It's not something I'd considered before, but let's explore all the options!

In which Jason goes with Bruce:

It's 10% business, 90% Bruce wants to take Jason to all the places Jason never got to see before, but had always made passing comments about

Bruce wants to give Jason the world. Whatever tries to get between him and that dream will rue the day.

Only that 'whatever' is Damian. The boy that Jason cares for and works his schedule around.

Cue Bruce stewing as he plots on how to pawn off the child so that Bruce can have his babygirl Jason for a few days. Bruce will make this venture happen. Where there's a will, there's a way, and his will is unyielding.

Just as unyielding: Damian

Their first (unbeknownst to them) father-son meeting would be a standoff over Jason and it sets the tone of their future together so well ahahaha. Just Damian hating Bruce on principle for taking Jason away from him. And Bruce relenting because 'he's the adult,' and assuring Damian that he'll take care of Jason while they're away. And Damian clicks his tongue at him, scowling the meanest scowl and Bruce's eye twitches because what a little brat. But also? Those are Jason's habits through and through, damn it. How endearing.

More endearing is how Jason kneels down with Damian and chides him even as he offers sweet comforts. Touches fleeting because Jason is fretting over this boy. It's sweet. Gentle in a way Jason always was at heart and still so clearly is.

('Don't be mean to my boss, it's not his fault. Once we finish working I'll be back. I'll bring a souvenir, huh?' To which Alfred would give Bruce a look, because this 'business' isn't particularly pressing. It's entirely fabricated, one might say. Bruce.)

Jason parting with a press of their foreheads and an earnest request for Damian to mind Mr. Pennyworth and that Jason will come back to him as soon as he can. ;3;

And yes, Alfred is thriving because finally he gets to spend time with his grandson (though at this point no one would know just how true that sentiment is lol)

Damian? Not so much. But he plays it tough for Jason even if his face is pinched and his eyes are glassy and ahhhhhhh little baby sniffles that breaks Jason's heart because he's a parent walking away from their kid for the first time fffffffffff

Anyway, Bruce and Jason get as far as sitting in the car, parked in the driveway. Because Bruce can't in good faith drive off while Jason looks so distraught. There's something more going on than simple anxiety of leaving a child for some days, so with a rare show of compassion and grace, Bruce waits

And Jason gets embarrassed because he's worked up. All anxiety and uncertainty and not wanting to go but knowing he has to. Shaking hands and short breaths. Scrubbing his eyes in frustration before laughing pitifully and apologizing because it's stupid.

But it's not. Not if it's upsetting his boy so much. And Bruce has learned this from his mistakes before, so: 'Talk to me.'

Cue: amnesia reveal!!

Jason admits that for him, there's nothing before Damian. So to leave him is to leave behind the only comfort and security he's ever known. ;3;

And it breaks Bruce's heart because oh. To have tried to force Jason to walk away from something so important when his boy isn't ready. Obviously there's something there to talk about, but Bruce won't push. Not when even this was given in desperation.

Heartstrings tugged, Bruce leaves the car without a word

And Jason hits his head against the back rest and contemplates how he just got himself fired for being a hot mess

Only then Bruce returns with Alfred and Damian because they'll all go together, how about that? ;U;

Extra to the above:

When Bruce tries to force Jason's hand and Jason protests because he has an actual child that he can't leave, Bruce proposes that Alfred look after him. Which, damn. Jason has no argument for that; not really. Still, he has to float it by his other employer first!

Which Bruce is eager to speak with them. Put him on the phone if that will help. To which Jason snickers and snarks that there's no way Bruce could charm this lady. Nor buy her out. Jason's got this, chill.

(Meanwhile, Jason. Secretly hoping Talia will say no and being OTL when she agrees. Because little does Jason know that Talia is very charmed by Bruce lol).

Also, something with Bruce making guilty eye contact with Tim from across the office after Bruce unintentionally manipulates Jason into attending a 'business trip' with him when Bruce's attempts at vacationing goes rebuffed.

Just the deadpan judgment in Tim's eyes and the way Bruce would OTL because he knows, go away.

Bruce got flustered and panicked when it looked like Jason was about to turn him down, okay??

Also, Tim grumbling under his breath about Bruce and his HR violations and being the greatest HR risk to ever grace corporate America.

The other route, where Bruce goes and Jason stays:

Hands down, Tim is responsible for watching over Jason

Dick isn't allowed within a mile radius of him

Don't think Batman won't call in a favor to get back to Gotham the moment Dick pings past Bruce's stupid security. He's watching.

Pffft, the way Superman would ??? because it's not like Bruce to call for him? Especially for something so...trivial?

Only there's nothing trivial about Dick and his shenanigans, Clark. His babygirl's virtue is not trivial, CLark. D:<

But also Bruce overlooking the glaring error of his ways because Tim is essentially with Jason 24/7 between WE and staking patrol outside of Jason’s apartment ahahaha

Bruce seriously comes back and all of a sudden everything between these two is electrically charged and he’d brood over it so hard, forever stewing behind the steeple of his hands because ffs

One more bit with brotherly shenanigans bonding ft dickjay and timjay:

Where Tim and Jason have playful bants while the boss is away

Tim leaning against the doorframe of Bruce’s office to chat at Jason since Bruce had Jason’s desk moved as close as possible without actually being in Bruce’s office lolol

Or Tim leaning over Jason from behind as they review some correspondence that needs to go out

And Jason sitting on Tim’s desk to make sure he eats the food Jason brought him

Tim being all sorts of pleased and relieved because Jason acts as his PA since Tim takes over all of Bruce’s work while he’s out of office and wwwwww lighthearted flirts about poaching Jason for himself

A fireable offense, surely, given Bruce is Bruce

But yeah. Just timjay having a chill time together and it’s sweet. //u///

As for dickjay—

While the bat is away the robin will play, as it goes

So Dick keeps up with his usual visits of course. But one day he shows up incognito, dressed so smart and dashing for business. Slacks and a button down and hair done, looking good and feeling cheeky lol

And Jason freezes up because omg

Corporate kink awakened?

Jason, rosy cheeked and trying not to stare but very much 👀, tongue tied and too warm under the collar telling Dick that he looks nice

And Dick laughs a bit under his breath and tells Jason he looks nice, too ;////;

The occasion? Tim taking them out to a nice lunch at some fancy restaurant ahhhhhhhhh and they send Bruce a pic of all of them on their little date fffffff 💖

Meanwhile Bruce is in some business meeting, very blatantly looking at his phone beneath the table and being equal parts >C (because he’s gonna beat these punkasses off his babygirl with a stick when he gets home) and ;u; because those are his boysssss together at last as they always should have been!!

[northwindow]

hey julia !! hope ur doing well... am asking u [instead of messaging!] this bc i imagine u might say some rly cool stuff that other ppl would love to see also lol... but i just wondered if u had any basic tips or resources about like developing a (short-term) writing routine? the context is not fiction writing but like academic but i feel like my academic writing is a creative practice so yeah, hope that makes sense! hope its okay to ask ! have a lovely day <3

hi anna marie! you ask the very question i need answered for myself… i am in a very slow place creatively so i feel silly to be giving advice! but i’ve been thinking about how to get things flowing again. very basic but helpful to me:

getting feedback from other people at a regular interval - i am very shy and this can feel like pulling teeth but it’s so worth it, i am always amazed how much it pushes me to finish things i would have otherwise languished on forever

reading a lot (of course) - it helps me to read a bit directly before starting to write. but also being intentional about it and having a defined list of inspiring works… i recently listened to david naimon interview joanna hedva and he asked them which writers were “squatting over” their latest book which i thought was a good way of putting it! i would like to curate a "squatters shelf" to dip into for inspiration on whatever project i'm working on

distinguishing between writing vs. editing time - this is hard for me because i am a very "edit as you go" type person but sometimes it's stifling! in another interview with tommy pico i heard him talk about his writing routine as very everything-goes, yes-and, accumulation-focused style on monday-thursday and then friday is reserved for finding what was good and refining it. i have always wanted to try this!

incorporating a degree of controlled randomness into the routine - whether it be randomizing where you physically work, what part of the project you work on, or brainstorming new ideas, i really enjoy drawing an option "out of a hat" (i hope that makes sense) at some stage of the writing process. i know i am going to be surprised and challenged by a guiding force even in a small way and want to see what’s going to happen.

something that has helped me a lot with routine in general is “habit stacking” i.e. trying to bundle a new task into something you already do regularly - i have not thought about how to do this with writing, but i have successfully bundled reading into drinking my morning coffee every day and it has changed my life significantly

also: i really like that you specified a short-term routine! i think temporary routines keep things interesting, help mark time, and more fully immerse me in things, so academia might be onto something with semesters etc… i am curious about trying to have a self-imposed writing “season” followed by an “off season” where i chill and eat peaches and watch the sopranos every night or whatever without guilt. (one might say i am chilling right now lol… but it’s definitely guilty chilling!) i also love that you see your academic project as a creative pursuit, i hope you are having a really fruitful time so far! ❤️

[persimminwrites]

okay im resolved to play an excessive amount of the witcher 3 this weekend but also wanted to collect my thoughts at ~80 hours of game play

took my almost 60 hours to leave velen and go to another place lmaoooooooooooo this does not bode well for how quickly i am going to progress through the game

i previously said i was not going to be a completionist........ and to be fair i dont think there is a way to complete all quests, like i think there are probably some you are inevitable going to fail (i failed cleavers quest bc i went to chess club, didn't give that girl a witcher potion so she wouldnt melt her brain etc etc) but the ones that i dont fail? that are sitting in my quest log???? im gonna try to do THEM ALLLLLLLLL

initially i was very overwhelmed by all of the alchemy things, the potions, the oils, the journal, maintaining weapons and armor, etc. etc. but ive definitely gotten used to it all now !!!!

i complained about this to maia already but i need to remember to not do a bunch of secondary quests back to back bc they almost always look like this: someone needs geralts help, geralt grudgingly agrees, geralt needs to go get something thats really really important to this task that simply cannot be done without it, geralt goes gets the thing/talks to a person/searches for something, geralt returns to the person, there is ANOTHER thing that geralt must do/see/find, geralt confronts someone, quest is over and most of it was me running around thinking 'why am i doing this' also most of the time you interact with the most vile ppl in existence at some point in the quest and the only thing im thinking is why cant i stop this charade and gut these absolutely gross vile ppl and bE ON MY WAY. not to say that i dislike all of the quests skdjfnsjkdfn but they are a tad formulaic and its really noticeable if you do a bunch back to back

Witcher Reinald - all time new favorite guy. in the shadow of the eternal fire quest is my favorite part of the game so far. nothing has topped it for me. i got to level 20 and put on reinald's armor and do not want to trade out to better armor bc i love how it looks so much + it reminds me of reinald lmaoooo. this random character from a random quest of soooo many in the witcher 3 has inspired a) a new oc and b) inspired me to write again like WHAT IS HAPPENING i just love him so much :')

i am completely uninterested in any and all romance options in this game. i in fact get annoyed by how often the game throws buxom women at me like please..... cant i just be the best single father on the continent...... where is my child...... can i just focus on her........

∗ o9﹕ sender  falls  asleep  leaning  against  receiver . / from raf :3

⊰ nonverbal prompts ⊱ // @attroxx

PERHAPS MADELEINE HADN'T fully given rafayel a chance. she felt as if their personalities clashed - but had she really gotten to know him? who was she to judge someone from first impressions when she herself fears that same judgement. it's hypocritical of her - and by acknowledging these thoughts she's been more reciprocal to accepting the supposed role of miss bodyguard to a certain artist. even if the supposed bodyguard tasks he had in mind did not consist much work related to... being a bodyguard.

madeleine was always the type to stick to the strict regimens of her work - never straying from her tasks, so the overall spontaneity and random tasks that rafayel has her do always leaves her more confused and... partially anxious that she should be doing something else instead. even today as she accompanied him - surely to protect him while he scavenged for a new material to source colours - she doesn't quite get it, honestly. nor does she really understand when he goes on tangents about everything and anything. it's hard to keep up, but he seems content, and that's more than enough, she thinks. she didn't realize how fast the day had passed - when was the last time she had spent the whole day without... working? nor having a set itinerary? she had simply followed rafayel to wherever he pleased, and while it was different than her regular scheduled business... it wasn't bad. no, far from it. it was quite... enjoyable, actually.

they had stopped to have a light dinner on a bench facing to the ocean, the gentle lapse of waves becoming a soothing lullaby as the sun sets and paints the sky into warm hues. rafayel had been glancing towards the water, even if he had been right beside her there was something about his gaze that seemed like he was so far away. she suddenly feels her guilt relapse - she really didn't know him, what his story was - why had she ever thought to think of him otherwise? madeleine mulls over what to say - she wants to say something, would it be weird to apologize? perhaps she should thank him - even if he had asked her out to play as his supposed bodyguard, he had taken her around and she truly did have a pleasant time. yes, gratitude was the better option -

oh,

rafayel had slumped, leaning himself against madeleine. her immediate reaction is to tense, but as she hears the soft noise of his breathing having quietened - she realizes he's fallen asleep. she's unsure of what to do - but perhaps there wasn't anything more to do. she's unfortunately lost her opportunity to voice out her gratitude, but perhaps she can demonstrate the emotion in another way.

madeleine leans her head against the top of his, ever so gently in return. the touch is hesitant - not wanting to wake him. her hand nervously reaches to loop around his forearm, holding him close so a sudden jolt wouldn't cause him to fall. she found confidence as he wasn't awake to perceive her sudden shift of attitude.

even if she herself was tired from the day, she was glad that her resolve towards rafayel had changed. there was so much she still had yet to know about him, and he had willingly let her be by his side. she wasn't going to push him away. she hopes that perhaps, they'd be able to know more of each other. that he'd invite her out again, to have another day just like this.

[granulesofsand]

hi there, just wanted to say i love your page a lot and appreciate all the info you put out. :3

we’re a system of i don’t know how many members, undiagnosed but we’ve been tracking symptoms for years and we got a specialist about a few months ago. i don’t feel like she’s taking us seriously and wanting to move forward with diagnosis, or at the very least treatment. we got an assessment and she says we may have DPDR, but i’ve had day- or week-long blackouts/grayouts and every time i mention them, she sort of glosses over it. i know there’s a possibility we don’t have DID or OSDD but i feel very strongly about it, and i’d like to tell her without being too forceful. do you have any advice? and do you also have advice on tracking alters + switches? much appreciated!

During our system discovery, we kept a notebook. Alters signed off if they could and wanted to, and we wrote everything from research to memories to conversations between us. When we were in a position to talk to our therapist, we handed that over and ran.

Y’all don’t have to do that, but there are a lot of pros to writing it down. A cheap spiral notebook would do it, and you have the benefit of seeing changes in organization and handwriting if those come up.

There are a few tests you can take just be reading the questions yourself. The DES 1 and 2 both have options to fill in bubbles on an internet-accessible device, with 2 being the more relevant version for you. The bottom describes possibilities with your calculated number.

There’s several online versions of the MID that compare your results to those of DID, OSDD-1, and PTSD test takers if you run it with a spreadsheet software. They usually require you type the number in the cell, then map it out in a color titled whatever you put in as ‘client name’. We never could use a cellphone for that, though you can run any Word sheet on the free version.

We use (*cough*) Simply Plural for alter tracking. You make little profiles, only requiring a name or placeholder, and add them to front with a button. You can choose ‘add’ or ‘replace’ as the default button.

Mostly we leave sticky notes for each other with task lists and daily information. We have a journal for therapy (memories, rants, research) and one for communication (conversations, front log, calendar).

Try introducing yourself and asking questions about the others on paper. Possessive switching makes this method look good, but switches that feel more like changing or shifting are more common and also require communication.

Alter-specific memories are common in complex dissociative disorders, and journals allow you to see those different experiences even if you don’t notice switches.

There’s a lot of use for the journals; those little discrepancies add up, and you don’t have to face the others too soon (which is a common phobia in systems with trauma-holding and trauma-free members).

The gathering of evidence makes it harder to turn you away. You can always fall back on the slow unmasking, using plural language and referring to the others. Working through trauma introduces the possible origins of dissociation, and clinicians might believe you more if you start there.

Not every therapist is willing to work with systems, and it’s up to y’all whether you could make progress with someone who isn’t. Therapy is yours, and your therapist should be a stone you can lean on.

If you do stay and don’t work with the system, consider working on that separately and deciding amongst yourselves who goes to each session. You don’t have to do trauma work to work through individual problems, though it is preferable your therapist recognize you as individuals.

And honestly? It’s okay if you don’t show the typical markers or have trauma on hand. If you are a CDD system, the hard parts will come up in time. If not, you can still work on system adaptions and quality of life.

Good luck with presenting your case. I hope your specialist will rise to meet you, but I believe you can find a way no matter how it goes.

[morriganxshaw]

( Boyd Holbrook, 38, cis-male, he/him ) — Look who it is! If you take a look at our database, you’ll find that LORCAN "MORRIGAN" SHAW is a a GRAVEDIGGER that works in SECTOR 8. According to the file, they’re a mutant with the power of FAIRY PHYSIOLOGY and CURSE MAGIC. That must be why they’re INTROVERTED and TIMID. If you ask me, they remind me of an iron collar digging into soft skin, scuffed red knees, and a bare mattress tucked into a closet. They are affiliated with NOBODY.

UNDER THE CUT: TASK 1

basic information:

character name: Lorcan 'Morrigan' Shaw

nickname (s): Morrigan / Morri

face claim: Boyd Holbrook

mutation status: Gen 2

birthday:

sexuality: gay

moral alignment: coward true neutral

occupation: Grave Digger

work sector: 4

affiliation: Nobody

3 positive traits: Introverted, Sensitive, Submissive.

3 negative traits: Timid, Self Destructive, Needy, Nervous

biography (optional): coming soon

SUMMARY/TL;DR: He's been under daddy shaw's thumb since day one, when he was an unruly teen cursing people, he had a silver necklace welded onto him. His long time childhood girlfriend came out as lesbian, and he a little later came out as gay, and it worked out quite well! Ezra nearly killed his father, and Morrigan was commanded to stay and look after him. So he did. Only when Billie snapped and finished the deed was Morrigan really free. He waited in the old house, though. Lived a quiet lonely life until Billie was free and they decided to follow his eldest brother, Trent, to a settlement far far away. Read Billie's bio for ta more detailed rundown until I write his own bio.

questionnaire

how do they feel about living in sol city? have they always lived there or did they travel from another settlement? It's better than the settlement back in Ireland, but overwhelming in every way. He spent a lot of time locked inside, so the sprawling city is a lot for him to take in.

do they trust the council’s leadership?why or why not? He doesn't know enough, yet. Largely he cowers from authority figures as they never helped him in the past.

if they chose their sector and profession, why did they make that choice? if they didn’t, why not? were they happy with their assignment or not? Morrigan did not choose his assignment. With little by way of skills or experience, he was assigned to grave digging. It's a relatively unpopular choice, so it had free vacancies to fill up.

what’s one object that they always keep on their person? He has an iron necklace (it's a collar.) It's a solid piece of iron, bent and welded around his neck by dear old dad. He can't remove it without help but is too afraid (and embarrassed) to show it to anyone let alone seek help for it's removal. Morrigan is also afraid what it will mean if it is successfully removed and his ability no longer dampened by it.

mutation

what is your character’s ability (or abilities)? Fairy Physiology & Curse Magic

are they gen i or gen ii? Gen 2

what can your character do? what are their strengths? Visually there are very few physical traits that mark his 'fairy physiology'. Mainly it's a change in his anatomy and chemical makeup which lends itself to old faerie lore. He requires less food and sleep to function. He can cast curses on people, they're never long term but can be intense physical and psychological changes to a person or living creature.

what can’t they do? what are their weaknesses? He is weakened by iron and if attempting to (or accidentally) using his curse magic, he will be burnt by it. If anyone knows his real name (Lorcan) and uses it, they can command him to do anything and he cannot resist it. Wording has to be specific, though, as much like a magic lamp intention doesn't matter as much as the literal wording. This also goes for his curses.

misc

is there anything else you’d like to specify about them? Only Trent, Ezra & Billie know his real name. He fills in official documents as 'Morrigan Brogan'. Whilst saying 'Lorcan' is enough to command him, saying 'Shaw' could have a mild effect he can fight off. The power is in his first name.

[yellingart]

I've been seeing a lott of discourse recently around adopt your pet vs shop from responsable breeders and I won't rest my head until I give my two cents on it-

First, this obviously excludes people who need their animal for their job or in their life, in which said animal has to perform a set of very specific tasks (herding dogs, police dogs, service animals, etc). I'm only talking about pets.

I see a lot of people defending buying from reputable breeders as a better option to adoption because they don't want to put up with the unpredicted beheavour that might come with an adopted pet, or that they dont find in shelters the kind of animal that would suit their household and while I undersstand wanting to find an animal that suits your household these arguments irk me in a very specific way.

Like these people think of getting an animal as a right, as if they needed to get an animal to justify being picky. Sometimes its just aesthetics sometimes it's beheavours, I don't care, I think is about time people stop feeling entittled to have pets. Maybe if you cant find a good suit for your household in a shelter then you should also consider that it might not be the right time for you to have an animal.

And this goes for any situation, even people that defend "I'm alergic to dogs so I NEED a portuguese water dog because theyre hypoallergenic" I get that!!!! but as heartbreaking as it is you don't NEED it you WANT IT!!! there's a difference!! you'll be fine not owning a dog if you aren't in a situation to own a dog!!!!!! It gets to a point in which it is lowkey ridiculous the lenghts people will go to justify their selfish desire to own a certain kind of dog.

I won't go after anybody who decide to buy (from responsible breeders) if they so desire to do that, you do you, if you're ok with it then so be it but I think it is about time we start calling things for what they are, nobody needs a pet bad enough to justify not even wanting to give a chance to shelters first.

I can't bring myself to justify buying, even less buying without even giving a chance to shelters, however I understand this is my personal choice and as long as people is responsible I have nothing to saay about it. But I'd like more people to consider owning animals is NOT and will NEVER be something you need bad enough to justify being so nitpicky about their characteristics unless youre in a field of work that requires working animals or need a service animal with you for medical reasons.

So now that it is clear that it isnt a need,it is a want, a desire, I hope thats enough to make people understand that theres no excuse, no possible excuse, not the money, the time, the effort, the energy, nothing justifies doing less than everything you can to ensure youre obtaining that animal from the most ethical place possible. And that might not always be a shelter, because I am aware not every animal is "adoptable", theres a lot of animals, fish, reptiles, birds, that aren't adoptable but it still isnt an excuse to not do everything you can to ensure youre getting that animal from an ethical place. Because you'll be fine wothout it. You dont need to run. It isn't your "only option". Do your research. Check yourself. Consider option 2, 3, 4, 5. Nothing justifies cutting corners.

Hopefully this will make sense, idk!

Thats all I wanted to say really

[snowshinobi]

agreed, op. this is a widespread, exhausting problem.

one of the better mobile shape games out there, imo: Woody Block Puzzle

Classic mode gameplay involves placing shapes on a grid to fill complete vertical or horizontal lines which then vanish. shapes are given 3 at a time and their dimensions are random. the round ends when you cannot fit any more shapes onto the grid:

pros:

free!

works offline (i played this a ton on a recent flight with no wifi).

no in-game currency and no daily tasks.

no limits on Classic mode, can play infinite rounds forever.

no constant popups telling you to recruit friends or link your socials.

can mute game sounds within the app so you can put on music/YT video/etc on your phone while playing.

hits the right balance of low stakes yet challenging with the random shapes, imo. gotta remember to leave space for tough shapes that might appear.

cons:

there are limited-time event modes but they're optional. Classic mode is always available.

there are ads: you get one after a round ends (no ads that interrupt a round) and there's a small one at the bottom of the screen. some of them flash (i put a sticky note on the bottom of my phone to block them).

(hope this goes without saying, but i'm not getting paid to promote this game. only sharing bc it's a Less Shit™ option I enjoy)

I fucking hate game apps. I wanted to play tetris the otherday so I figured there must be a simple tetris app out there its the most basic game. But every app is like heres your daily log in bonus of 10 gold! You get 5 free plays a day. Here's an ad. To replay a level costs 1 diamond. You can eart gold by earning points in levels. 1000 points = 1 gold. You can exchange 550 gold for one diamond but we have a sale right now that they only cost 500 gold. Heres an ad. You can buy a loot crate of diamonds for 5.99$! You leveled up! Heres 1 free diamond. Youve run out of free replays for today, would you like to buy some more diamonds? Heres your daily tasks, make sure to log in every day this month for a free reward chest. its free! Heres an ad. Would you like to sign up for this credit card to recieve 10 free diamonds? Invite a friend and you can earn points! Ding! Youve leveled up. Heres an ad. This is our special bonus play weekend, you get one free replay and a pack of diamonds only costs 4.99$. You can use your gold to purchase new skins for the tetris blocks. This ones shaped like cats! It costs 100 diamonds. You need to collect them all. Free to play, may be some in-app purchases.

How Banks in 2025 Are Thriving With These Website Must-Haves

Banking has evolved into a digital-first experience. In 2025, customers rarely visit branches. They want banking that’s quick, safe, and easy, all from their devices. A bank’s website is its digital handshake, welcoming users and building trust. To succeed, banks must offer websites that are simple, engaging, and packed with features that make banking effortless. Here are ten essential website features that top banks are using in 2025 to win customers and stay ahead. These elements are designed to be user-friendly, secure, and perfect for everyone, from teens to seniors.

1. Simple and Clear Navigation

Think of a bank website as a digital map. If it’s hard to follow, customers get lost and leave. In 2025, banks create websites with straightforward menus and clear labels. Whether someone needs to transfer money, check their savings, or find loan options, they can do it in a few clicks. The layout uses bold buttons and easy-to-read text, so even someone new to online banking feels confident. Visual guides, like icons or highlighted sections, make navigation a breeze. This clarity ensures customers find what they need without frustration.

2. Perfectly Mobile-Optimized Design

Most people bank on their phones or tablets. Banks in 2025 design websites that work flawlessly on any device. The site adjusts to fit small screens, with large buttons for easy tapping and text that’s clear without zooming. Whether a customer is at home or on a train, the experience feels smooth and natural. Banks test their sites on various devices to ensure nothing breaks. This mobile-first approach meets customers where they are, making banking convenient no matter the time or place.

3. Rock-Solid Security Features

Trust is everything in banking. Customers need to know their money and data are safe. In 2025, banks use advanced security tools like two-step verification, where users confirm their identity with a code sent to their phone or email. Data encryption keeps personal details private during transactions. Banks also display trust signals, like security logos or messages saying, “Your information is protected.” These steps reassure users, making the website feel like a secure, digital safe. Customers can bank with peace of mind, knowing their details are guarded.

4. Lightning-Fast Load Times

Waiting for a website to load feels like forever. In 2025, banks make sure their sites open in under three seconds. They use smart techniques, like compressing images and cleaning up code, to keep things speedy. Even during busy times, like payday rushes, the site stays quick. Fast load times mean customers can check balances or pay bills without delays. Banks regularly check their site’s performance to fix any hiccups, ensuring a smooth experience that keeps users happy and engaged.

5. Tailored User Dashboards

A personal touch goes a long way. In 2025, banks create dashboards that feel custom-made for each user. When someone logs in, they see their name, account details, and recent activity at a glance. Some dashboards even offer tips, like how to save more or which loan fits their needs. These features are laid out clearly, with easy options to dive deeper into budgeting or investments. By making banking feel personal, banks build stronger bonds with customers, encouraging them to stick around.

6. Always-On Customer Support

Banking questions can pop up anytime. In 2025, banks offer 24/7 support through chatbots and live agents. Chatbots quickly handle simple tasks, like resetting passwords or explaining fees. For trickier questions, like loan terms, real agents jump in with friendly help. The chat window is easy to spot, often right on the homepage. This constant support makes customers feel valued, knowing they can get answers day or night. It’s like having a banker ready whenever you need one.

7. Inclusive Accessibility Features

Everyone should have access to banking. In 2025, banks design websites that work for all users, including those with disabilities. Tools like voice readers help visually impaired customers navigate. Videos include captions for those with hearing challenges. The site uses simple fonts and high-contrast colors to ensure clarity for everyone, including colorblind users. These thoughtful features make banking welcoming for all ages and abilities, showing that the bank cares about every customer’s needs.

8. Effortless Transaction Systems

Banking should be quick and painless. In 2025, banks streamline online transactions to save time. Customers can send money to friends, pay utility bills, or apply for loans with just a few clicks. Features like saved payment details and instant confirmations make the process smooth. Loan applications are simplified with clear steps and quick responses, like pre-approval notices.

HyperHost Review: Is It Truly the Ultimate Unlimited Hosting Solution?

This is a digital world. In this world, your business can work very well without having a physical brick and mortar store, but it is very difficult to persist without having a website. Almost impossible. 

<<<Elevate your website’s speed and uptime with HyperHost!>>>

So, if I say that your website is the new storefront, it won’t be exaggerating. And, it holds true for literally every business— whether you're a blogger, a small business owner, or an entrepreneur who is building an e-commerce empire. How effective, fast, appealing and easy-to-use your website is, that determines its success, and ultimately your business’s.

However, sometimes people focus too much on the overall aesthetics of the website, or its content. But one thing that often gets overlooked are the web hosting platforms. With a huge pile of options out there, choosing one hosting service can be a pretty overwhelming task, especially when you are just starting off and want to balance performance and budget. 

So, for all of you, today we are going to talk about HyperHost, a web hosting platform, which honestly has blown away my mind with how fast and reliable it is. And yes, it is more affordable than you can imagine.

Let’s Talk About Some Common Hosting Problems We Face

If you have meddled with website hosting before, I’m pretty sure you will agree with me if I rant about how complex that thing gets. It just throws a barrage of problems at you, and expects you to solve those on your own. Like, how crazy is that? First, these platforms charge you loads of money, and then more if you want to keep your website alive, or as they call it “renewing your domain”. 

How about fixing the slow load times first? Who is going to compensate for the tons of customers that I have lost just because my website took 3 more seconds to launch than it should?

You are expected to pay $500 to $1,000 to handle a domain, and that doesn’t even include the SSL certificates, and if you know anything about SSL certificates, you know that without one you can only dream about getting your website ranked anywhere. And you know how users are always looking for an extra layer of security, right? Nope, you can’t give it to them. Extra bandwidth? Forget about that too!!

Don’t even get me started on the loading speeds. These hosts charge you like they are the most premium platforms in the world. Of course, that would increase one’s expectations. And then you see how slowly your website loads, and all you are left with is regret. And this is actual studies saying this, that even a 1-second delay makes 7% users leave the site. When the delay goes any longer, you can only imagine how high that dropout rate gets.

Then there are those hosts that lure you in with their “low costs”, and then when the time for renewing comes, you see it clear as day, how the renewal costs make up for those “low costs” and how you were fooled.

How HyperHost Gives Those Hosts A Run For Their Money

Now if you too are stuck with a provider who has made life difficult for you, or if you are new in this game and are finding the perfect host to begin your website’s journey, HyperHost stands as a brilliant option. 

I will go as far as calling it a beacon of hope, because that’s what it is, but maybe you should first get the chance to learn how unique it is. Then you can decide for yourself if it is as special as I'm making it out to be.

Here’s why it stands apart:

Servers are Actually Fast: Having tried those usual hosts and having heard their claims, I know what ultra-high-speed servers are and what aren’t. And HyperHost stands true to its claims. 

99.9% Uptime, Guaranteed: It seems like the creators of HyperHost knew how big of a deciding factor reliability is. Because it gives you practically no downtime during critical moments—your website will always be live.

An All-In-One Solution: It’s very rare to find platforms like HyperHost that handle everything from domain management to website deployment. And handling isn’t all, it makes it simple for you as well.

One-Time Price: What I liked the most about HyperHost is that this is not one of those yearly fee products. What they do is they offer you a one-time payment plan and that plan covers everything you need for hosting. Would you not want to save thousands annually?

Unlimited Bandwidth & Websites: The deal breaker for me was that you can manage as many websites as you want. And this time the host actually understands a growing business, and grows with you— without asking for your credit card again.

Fast Hosting Really Matters, and Here’s Why:

Okay so, when we see how digital oriented everything is today, we realize that a lot of it stems from the need for speed. Everything has to be fast, and sometimes even fast doesn’t cut it— it has to be super fast. When it comes to websites, speed definitely is the one defining factor, no matter how beautiful the site looks, or how appealing its content is. Let me tell you why:

SEO Rankings: This one is pretty well-known if you have ever tried to rank a site of yours— the load time. Google, and as a matter of fact every search engine, prioritizes websites that load faster. Have a slow site and watch how your rankings suffer.

People Leave: Now comes a lesser known fact: 53% of users abandon a website if it takes more than THREE seconds to load. But, if you think as a user once, you yourself will leave a site that takes 3-4 seconds to load. Am I wrong?

And It Hits The Revenue: What do you suspect happens next? That’s right, a business whose visitors are cut in half even before the site opens, is never really able to make profitable sales.

But you know what? With HyperHost’s advanced technology, if there is one thing that you can be absolutely sure of, it's that your website will always be at its best. It will always keep its users satisfied and engaged. 

A Simple 3-Step Process, and Voila!

What I loved about HyperHost during my time with it, was obviously its speed, but other than that, its simplicity. I’m fairly experienced with hosting solutions and web development, so I thought this would be just like every other platform in terms of its complexities. But I was really surprised to see how simple everything was!!

Here’s how easily you can get started:

Log In and Add Your Domain: The platform has such a user-friendly dashboard, that setting up a domain will feel like a cakewalk. Plus, with just a few clicks, you can add as many domains as you want.

Deploy Your Website: Next, choose your preferred app (like WordPress), the platform will install it instantly. Remember the SSL certificate that we talked about earlier? Yes, this time you get that.

Manage Your Website Anywhere: Anytime and anywhere you can access your website, and make all sorts of updates. HyperHost will provide you the maximum possible uptime, a super strong malware protection and the bandwidth is of course, unlimited.

<<<Elevate your website’s speed and uptime with HyperHost!>>>

Who Is HyperHost For?

A platform like HyperHost isn’t built for just a very particular group of people. It has everything that makes it a perfect companion for a wide range of users, including:

Freelancers and Entrepreneurs: If you come in either of those categories, then you are most probably looking to save money while also maintaining high-quality web hosting. Don’t worry, HyperHost is here.

Small Business Owners: Small businesses don’t want to go out of their way to spend on hosting. Something that is easy on the pocket and reliable, or in other words, HyperHost, is what they need.

Bloggers and Creators: Content creators don’t really have the time to focus on hosting technicalities. When they have to, their content suffers. But for all those, HyperHost is the perfect solution, since it comes with free SSL encryption and unlimited bandwidth.

At $47/month $14.97, You Get:

Free Commercial License + Low ONE-TIME Price During Launch Period Only! (With a 30-day money back guarantee)

Is This The Right Time To Switch?

So, I made this observation, that the web hosting industry is evolving everyday. New trends and technologies are shaping its future. This is why I think that now is the perfect time to make that switch to HyperHost:

Companies are skyrocketing their hosting prices everyday, which makes HyperHost’s one-time fee even more appealing.

HyperHost has built-in SSL encryption and a VERY strong malware protection which will keep your website secure.

As your online presence grows, with HyperHost you will have a hosting partner that grows with you—without any extra fees.

Empower Your Online Presence with HyperHost

So, has this blog been able to convince you that HyperHost is WAY different than your usual hosting solutions? Because honestly speaking, I felt like this platform really has the power to be game changing. Finally I can say that website hosting is as easy and affordable as it should be. 

If you want to build a successful online presence, then you can’t spend half that time figuring out the hosting process and what is wrong with it every second day. HyperHost has lightning-fast servers, affordability like no other software, and a very user-friendly design. 

Can I make any more clearer as to why HyperHost is the perfect choice for you?

Don’t let high costs and technical complexities hold you back. Make the switch to HyperHost today and experience web hosting that is ACTUALLY fast and reliable, while being highly affordable.

PROS AND CONS OF USING A FULL-SERVICE MOVING COMPANY TO MOVE TO NEW ZEALAND

International relocation is one of those big buzzes in life, and shifting to a breathtaking country like New Zealand can be an adventure. Still, at the same time, it's a difficult task to accomplish because of jobs to do like packing up your life and moving it, and all this around the maze that many countries have in customs rules. That's why most people are considering hiring a full-service moving company. This option offers many benefits to the customer; at the same time, it has drawbacks. Well, let's try to find out the pros and cons of hiring a full-service moving company when relocating to New Zealand.

Pros of Hiring a Full-Service Moving Company

1. Convenience and Stress Reduction

One of the greatest perks of contracting a full-service moving company is that it comes with such a level of convenience. Moving is not all about relocating a pile of things from point A to point B. A full-service moving company does your packing, loading, transporting, and unloading stuff, leaving you with more time to start getting busy with your new home and moving in.

These companies provide a hassle-free experience, where they take care of everything from the start to the finish. They offer every bit of packaging material needed, pack your items in a professional way to avoid breakages, then transport your belongings to your new home without hitches in New Zealand. The peace of mind can be quite invaluable, with the knowledge that professionals are in charge of your move.

2. Expertise and Experience

Full-service movers make use of skilled professionals with prior experience in dealing with all types of moves. Be it valuable antiques, fragile items, or huge and huge furniture, the experts know just what to do to ensure everything is packed and transported carefully.

In addition, they have the experience of knowing the circumstances involved with internationally moving. Relocating to New Zealand includes customs regulations, import duties, and quarantine procedures. An experienced, full-service moving company in international relocations can walk you through these processes with ease to have a hassle-free transition.

3. Time-Saving

Time is precious, like moving internationally. The time needed to pack up the entire house may take some weeks to even months if you are doing it on your own. A full-moving service company can pack everything within days and really save you a lot of time.

In addition to packing, these firms organize the logistics for your move: Arranging transportation and dealing with necessary paperwork. This frees you up to worry about other concerns of your relocation–arranging housing, financial planning, and saying good-bye to family and friends.

4. Complete Insurance Cover

The risk of having accidents is always present during a move, and the last thing that you would want is to arrive in New Zealand with your house belongings full of losses and damages. Full-service moving companies usually guarantee insurance coverage for the things they will move; just in case, you need to have peace of mind that everything is fine with your belongings.

Customize your experience by choosing among the large selection of additional services:

This insurance coverage can be useful if something goes wrong during the move, and especially in the case of high-value goods or fragile possessions. If, by any chance, something gets destroyed during moving, the moving company will pay you back, so never worry about getting out of pocket.

5. Customized Services

Full-service long distance moving companies offer diverse and flexible services based on your unique needs. From packing services to storage solutions or assistance unpacking at your new home, these companies will customize their service to suit your requirement.

For example, when you are relocating to New Zealand, but you perhaps don't need all the items that you have at once, a full-service moving company can arrange the safe storage for your items until the date you deem fit to receive them. These make the mobility easier and assures smooth movement.

Disadvantages of Engaging Full-Service Moving Company

1. Its Expense

Perhaps the worst scenario of it all in using a full-service mover is the cost. In this case, premium service comes into play in the pricing that moving companies attach to their services. One may find it costly to use a full-service mover in case of a tight budget.

However, this cost needs to be weighed against the convenience and the peace of mind of having professional movers do the work. Although the direct cost of the service is higher, possibly the relative amount in terms of time and the peace of mind is worthy of the choice.

2. Less Control Over the Moving Process

By hiring a full-service mover, though, one retains the full range of moving-service responsibilities. On the one hand, this can represent a benefit, but on the other hand, one would have less control over how his belongings are treated—not to mention transported.

Some explicit-minded people can find this very unsatisfying as they want their packing and moving to be done in explicit ways. If you're the kind of person that likes to be bossing people around over every aspect of moving, then full-service movers might not be your bet.

3. Potential for Miscommunication

When you do a full-service move, communication is key to having the service meet your expectations. The distance always remains that you and the moving company will not be able to articulate your needs fully, hence leading to problems like packing in error or moving delays.

To avoid possible communication breakdown, you should have significant discussion with your removalist before the move. Let them know what you need and don't forget to put on paper all the details to ensure that they are readily available for any kind of misunderstanding.

4. Limited Availability

Professional full-service moving companies, for instance, are highly sought after at the peak of the seasons. If a busy period occurs when you move to New Zealand, for example, in summer or at year's end, it can take a lot of money to get a booking from a good company.

This limited availability means that you will have to plan your moving far ahead to ensure that the company you like is available to move you. If you cannot book a full-service mover, other options may include a partial-service move or a do-it-yourself move.

5. Dependence on External Factors

In the case of hiring a full-service moving company, one is dependent on the company's schedule, shipping timelines, and customs-clearance processes. Delays on any one of these issues could create havoc with a person's move.

For example, in case of any delays faced by the shipping company, all the stuff that belongs to you will arrive late, and therefore you will have to cope with the new home without any of the very essential, basic items. Though the full-service movers try to manage these factors, inherent risks always come with an international venture.

Conclusion

In other words, a full-service moving company assures lots of conveniences, expertise, time savings, and the most important of all, total insurance coverage during your move to New Zealand. But again, one needs to keep in mind the possible cons of such a move: great costs, lack of direct control, and occurrences of miscommunication.

Of course, your concerns will need to be addressed with a more customized solution because the right method of hiring a moving service really depends on your specific needs, money, and preferences. These professional full-service movers can be the way to go when you ship to New Zealand. If you are looking for a hassle-free move and do not mind shelling out for really professional services or if you want to do it all yourself or are on a really tight budget, then other moving alternatives that you will wish to consider are: Whichever way suits you best, advising well ahead of time and telling it like it is will ensure a happy and seamless move into your new life in New Zealand.
