THE PHOENIX || blue hawthorne. 
am i two hundred years late to the party ?? you bet your biscuits i am. but hiya all, i’m lilac, i am from the land of Quokkas and the Wiggles. i am already gonna apologise in advance for the mess of an intro below, so HERE is one of my fave videos as Thanks for wanting to learn more about my boi blue !! who, for the record, is so much lamer than he’ll let you believe. then again, i’m watching the nancy drew (2007) movie so who am i to judge lmao.
Tumblr media
personality
THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING TO BLUE FACTS. PLEASE TEXT ‘STOPBLUE’ TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. 
but if you have seen blue’s blog sidebar and title, i feel like you will gather a LOT about his personality lmfao
he is playful, jocular, and honestly? immature
always looking for the childhood he never got to have, y’know?
he is secretly very insecure and always has a need to please. if someone doesn’t like him, he’ll tear himself apart to figure out why.
he’s always telling jokes and always laughing. he’s known for his Memes and is always a good time to be around... if you know what i mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 
but also Anti-( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) because ya boi has commitment issues so high they’re past the inevitable spaghetti monster that’s probably floating out there in space
he can also be very maternal when the need arises. he is not good at talking about emotions but he’ll give you a meme or a plate of cookies to Heal You
honestly? the human embodiment of a puppy. cannot be alone for very long, has a short attention span, and craves validation lmfao. give him a squeaky toy and he will be Contented
as a footballer he can be Tough on field when he needs to be but he’s also v sensitive and talks to birds he passes on his morning runs like he’s a disney princess djkgfdk
he struggles academically as he has a short attention span most of the time and thinks too little of himself. however, he’s a lot brighter than most people give him credit for. he’s incredibly creative and a lateral thinker. maths makes him want to die, tho.
also what’s money? blue does not know
to many, blue’s known as the troubled kid who turned his life around. to others, he’s known as the local Meme Dealer. but to a lucky few, he’s known as a friend who would do anything for you. 
most just know him as the moron named after a colour tho.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
history. (trigger warning: illness, death, drugs, depression)
WHO’S READY FOR SOME CHROMATIC CONTENT
blue hawthorne, who never goes by his birthname bc he hates it dfkjgdgdf ( what is his birthname ? he’ll never tell ┌( ಠ‿ಠ)┘ ) was born right here in ashmont. 
despite not having a lot - he grew up with just him and his mum ( his father left before he was born, never knew a thing about him ), in a tiny trailer park on the outskirts of town. a far cry from the opulent manors peppered all throughout town, and the very lifestyle blue’s mother was accustomed to as a child. however, the pair were content as long as they were together. 
despite not having much, blue loved every second of his childhood. he wore his mischief like a crown, smiling wherever he went. he’d always resonated with a love of music and dance, and like his mother before him, danced. ballet was his passion growing up, and started as young as 5.
as a child blue was often teased for this, and the fact that he was so close with his mother. he was also very outspoken and strong-willed, and never let his peers get the best of him. he danced, he laughed, he bruised his knees at any given opportunity. what he lacked in possessions he gained in the abundance of joy he felt in his heart growing up. his mother and a few of his close friends were his world. 
when blue turned ten, everything changed. 
the jubilant, mischievous, but altogether kind-hearted boy was given the heart-breaking news that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer. margarette hawthorne, much like her son, was a fighter - and didn’t let such a diagnosis keep her down. despite their dwindling lack of funds now going towards medical bills, and the fact blue began sacrificing his own childhood as he took to the role of a caretaker of sorts for his mother, he never took his time with her for granted. 
things were okay for a while. there was a point where the doctors were convinced that she was going to make it. blue was a fool. blue believed them. 
at the age of thirteen, blue lost everything. he lost his place to live, he lost his childhood and lust for life, and he lost the person he loved most in the world. he lost his best friend. 
it wasn’t long before the overbearing sympathy from those around him soured blue. he was sick of being bullied, people not liking him, and altogether not being in control. so what did this boy do ? he quit ballet (the thing he’d loved since he was able to stand), he started drinking, he got involved in a very bad crowd and became a frequenter of the local ashmont police station. blue became a certified Bad Boy™
blue was sent to live with the grandparents that despised him and never acknowledged his existence before that moment. righteous and conservative in their views, they had cast aside their daughter when she had blue out of wedlock, and only reached out to her in her final months. for this reason, blue despised these people (he refused to call them family). he tried his best to be appreciative of a house and food ( which was much better than anything he had growing up ). but he was cold. always cold. 
as a teenager, blue fell into a rapid succession of bad decisions. still small, still frail in stature, he found himself at a dissonance with his image and began growing insecure about his looks, the years of torment weighing on him. he found anesthetic in the party scene outside of school, taking to alcohol and drugs as a sedative from the life he felt forced to lead. his grandparents were pigeon-holing him into a preppy, studious boy who’d go on to be a banker or a lawyer, when all blue had wanted to do was be himself. he couldn’t decide if he hated himself or he hated the world more. 
at the age of 16, his rap sheet seemed to grow with each rising of the sun. he’d fallen in with a bad crowd, hardly ever heading ‘home’ and couch surfed. at the age of 16 he’d gotten his own car and lived more out of that than the stuffy house on top of the hill where he was supposed to stay. his grades were sinking towards the bottom of the barrel, he was always looking for validation from the bad kids he hung around with and made some very poor decisions in the hopes he’d be liked. in the hopes he’d find a new family. 
the partying, the stream of hook ups, his criminal record (mainly with traffic offences, a few write ups for public intoxication and fighting), sobriety, the instability of his living situation and his future all came to boil just before he turned 17. physically he’d started to fill out, and look more like the man people know today. he was no longer frail and no longer weak, and when asked, he used to his fists to forge that path he thought he wanted.
after a dark night, it became apparent to blue that his path of self destruction was hurting no one but himself. whether by choice or by accident, he knew he wasn’t ready to see his mother again. so... he’d hit rock bottom with a spectacular thud. but blue knew the only way to go from there was up.
through nothing short than a McMiracle (sponsored by Ronald McDonald, bc no one else is rich enough to pull it off lmfao) blue managed to scrape by and complete high school. 
blue had no doubt his family name (that of his grandparents) helped him secure an athletic scholarship to st etienne. in his year of transformation from 17 to 18 his grandmother had softened to the boy she’d always hated and was riddled with guilt for the years of mistreatment, and promised to pay for his education (that wasn’t covered by his scholarship) as long as he promised to make something of himself. his first year of college, things really started looking up for blue. he was finally back on track.
then woops, grim came a-knocking again
bidding farewell to the grandmother he was only beginning to know, his grandfather had no reason to extend her kindnesses, and cut blue off. at the age of 18 he was homeless, with nothing but a car and a handful of pokemon cards he’d had as a kid. not worth anything or even particularly sentimental, he just likes pokemond kgfjfd. 
living in his car for a while before eventually crashing with a close friend, blue managed to absorb his days in study and in work. he quickly found his passion in helping kids, and giving them the childhoods that he never got. going into teaching seemed like a no-brainer. 
although blue’s wild days are behind him, there are some things locked in his past that still haunt him. there are doors he never hopes to open again. but he got his fresh start, and is determined to live the life a young blue would have wanted for him, and one his mother could be proud of. 
then the grim reaper came back a third time, his scythe begging for daisey rutherford. 
the investigation. 
blue’s connection to daisey is that they danced in ballet classes together... as you can imagine, daisey had to put on her Evil Training Wheels somewhere and unfortunately, blue was one of her earliest victims. teased constantly for his appearance, his love of ballet, his lack of wealth, and on awful days, his single parent household.
for the most part blue had grown resilient in ignoring these comments. but he never forgot how daisey mistreated him, and sparked a wave of similar comments from people in their year when they were only children. 
hey now im not gonna rEVEAL (bc what if he is ??? :o ) anything relating to the crime if he was the murderer, but know he is Lorge and Strong and could probably push daisey over with his finger lmfao
it’s also worth noting that one of daisey’s parents, a beloved surgeon, treated blue’s mother whilst she was in hospital with cancer. the late detection of its return is what caused her death, and blue has been vocal in his blame in the rutherford family for the loss of the person closest to him ever since. 
now i’m not saying blue did anything... but if he did, his ‘eye for an eye’ motive ? maybe not as crazy as you may think. especially when you consider your boi already has a criminal record. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
plots.
atm i am still working on blue’s blob and getting his stats/connections page up BUT !! here are a few fun lil plots beyond his skeleton connections that i’d absolutely love to explore. 
CHILDHOOD FRIENDS  - blue grew up in ashmont, and didn’t have a lot of friends kfgjfd. if your muse would have been down for a Young Memey Mess that’s fond of a pirouette, blue is your Man. on the flip side, if your muse is one of the Cool Kids and is looking for potential animosity, i’d love someone who tried to squash blue like a bug in their youth (~:
FLIRTATIONSHIP - blue is currently in a (hidden) relationship, and for the first time in his life, gasp, might have feelings. but he’s a fucking walnut and refuses to admit that, so a plot of someone with an unrequited crush, a fun flirtationship, or even someone that just wants to be his wingman would not only be fun, but also incredibly painful - which is what we deserve. 8) (also note, blue is bisexual so any muse would work. <3)
COWORKERS - blue works as a trainer at the ashmont fitness centre ( .... dont @ maaria for the page not being done fgjdgkdf  WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THE PAGES NOW KDFJGDKFJ). but i’d always be down for plots in the workplace !!
UBER - sorry for the lame ass name lmao but dkjfgfkd blue is not about the party scene anymore ( lowkey bc he’s afraid to get addicted again and throw away everything he’s worked so hard for). but he does care a lot about people, and a pal of his is v much still hooked to that lifestyle and he very dkfgjdf determinedly drives them home every time to ensure they’re safe. could be former party friends, could be current friends in some capacity. maybe there was an incident in their past that blue feels guilt over ( a fight perhaps, trigger warning - maybe an overdose?) and so now he looks after them. or even just having a sibling-like bond, which (as blue is an only child) i’d also love something like that!
STUDY BUDDY - blue is a moron and needs someone to help him not fail kdfjgdf. he may not be naturally adept at getting good grades, but unlike many, he’s trying his absolute hardest. in return, he’s more than happy to be your Meme Dealer. bonus points if it’s unlikely friends, or if they didn’t exactly get along at first. :D
FELLOW FOOTBALLERS - 2 bros sitting in a hot tub five feet apart bc they’re not gay. dkjgdgdf but for REAL. exploring the team dynamic of the football team would be so fun, especially with blue’s reputation and the fact he only started taking up the sport when he was about 15-16, which may be a lot later than other guys in the team. 
RIVALS - god they’re probably rivals about memes and i hate that but that’s just what it is :/
it’s super late here (for me anyway, as i’m a certified Grandpa ™ so any time after 9pm is basically 3am to me lmfao) but i know these connections aren’t the best that ever was dfkjgdf but i am so excited to plot and come up with things that fit our muses !! if anything in this intro sparked an interest, one of the connections are intriguing, or you’d just like to plot and see what happens, please give this post a like and i’ll come to you !! i will get back to you all tomorrow when im awake aest time, but for now dkjgkfdfg yOU DESERVE COOKIES FOR READING THROUGH THIS ABODIMABLE MESS. i am literally so excited to plot with you all fjdgfd after reading your apps i hOPE I AM WORTHY. so please leave a like on this bad boy and you will find a message on your tumblr tomorrow.

How to convince parents to let me have auto insurance?
I've had my license for a little over three months now. However, I have no insurance, and therefore cannot drive (in California). Their reasoning is that I am an unsafe driver which I disagree with because I quite easily passed my driving test at the DMV and always think before I do anything when I drive. However, they seem firm on their decision... It's a bit frustrating having my license for so long but still being unable to drive. I'm tired of having to always ask friends for a ride or my parents; I just want a taste of independence. Of course, I'm not trying to be too arrogant or stubborn, I've respected my parent's decision, it's just bugging me a bit now haha. I offered to do a six-month plan instead of a year plan since I'm heading off to college in Septemberish. I'm about to turn 18 in a couple weeks also. Does anyone have any advice?""

Can I cancel my auto insurance?
I go through American Family and they are killin me. I recently bought a car from a dealership, which of course I had to get full coverage. My rate is now ridiculous and I have found a WAY better rate with a different company so my question is, can I just cancel my insurance? They sent me a bill for $434. I paid half of it today, do I need to pay the other half before I cancel?

What is the average employee portion of a health insurance policy?
What percentage of the health insurance costs do most companies cover (I recognize that this can vary greatly, but I am looking for general numbers)? For Cigna - what is the average monthly cost for a family consisting of parents and one child (likewise, I recognize that this can vary greatly - I am just trying to get a ballpark figure)? I ask these as my current employer (250+ people) is offering Cigna insurance for about $750 a month which covers my wife, myself and my daughter. They claim to be covering 50% of the health insurance plan, but I am having a hard time buying the explanation that health insurance is just expensive...especially as my sister and brother are paying $50-70 a month for individual insurance.

Advice on a supermoto/motard as a first bike for a 17 year old in the UK please?
I know bikes are cheaper in terms of insurance than a car, as my FIAT X1/9 I was planning on getting as a first car, as my dad already owned it, is north of 2500 to insure alone. Basically, please can someone advise me on a supermoto for a first time rider with relatively low insurance that cost about 2000 to buy, 2500 maximum. I really like the supermoto style, and its fairly cheap for my friend, I have a 19 year old friend with a modified supermoto YZF250 and pays only 400 per year. I think he has been riding since he was 17. I am clued of on cars and fairly knowledgeable of engines, but I lack the knowledge of the names of different bike, so finding it tricky, I have decided to post this. Preferably I like the idea of a small (cheap 125cc), but a single cylinder 4 stroke purely because of the noise, but if it has to be two stroke, I don't mind greatly. As long as I can do a little over 60mph to keep up with traffic on the faster roads roads, but not the motorways, it will cost less than 2000, but maybe a little over, and will not be overly expensive for a 17 year old, that will be ideal. I don't care of anything to rapid, as long as it is fast enough for the roads unlike a little 30mph moped, I just want a fun, cheap, roadworthy supermoto.""
Vehicle damaged..have ? about insurance?
A tree fell on my vehicle during Hurricane Ike. My husband thinks there may be at least $10000 worth of damage to it. I looked it up on kelly blue book and its only worth approx 9000.00.

It really looks cosmetic to me but there are things hanging underneath it and it is very hard to drive. I think it would be cheaper for the insurance company to total it and let GAP take the rest.

A Midas List VC on the problem with the Midas List
Earlier this week, Forbes produced its annual Midas List, whichshowcases who the outlet believes to be the top investors in the world. Stuart Peterson of Artis Ventures was on the list very fardown, behind the many VCs whose refers are instant recognizable to founders, like Chris Sacca and Peter Fenton and Mary Meeker.
The way Peterson tells it, thats the way he likes it. Theres a intellect he didnt gave his appoint on the door 17 years ago when he left the hedge fund Cypress Funds in L.A. to open his own house in Silicon Valley. Im not crazy about being the center of attention. I never wanted to do this by myself. I think you can be successful if youre part of a successful team.
Certainly, Artis has assured its share of success. In one of its most remarkable copes, it invested in YouTube before the company sold to Google in 2006. A family connection seemingly helped. At the time, Artisemployed David Lamond, son of renowned VC Pierre Lamond, who invested 30 times with Sequoia Capital, another early YouTube investor.
Artis also invested alongside Sequoia in a number of other deals, including Aruba Networks, whichwent public in 2007 and was acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2015. Lamond left Artis in 2012 to form his own firm.
Artis whose newer stakes include troubled Juicero, along with Zenrez, a company that exchanges pricing technology and tools to fitness studios more recently made a killing off sales of cancer medicine developer Stemcentrix to AbbVie last year for $10.2 billion .~ ATAGEND
Artis led Stemcentrixs Series A round and Peterson sat on the companys committee. In point, though Founders Fund has received much attentionfor extending the companys Series B round( it apparently returned $1.4 billion off a $300 million investing in the company ), Petersonsays Artis formed exactly less than$ 1 billion from its $35 millioninvestment in the company.
Asked how he territory the treat, Peterson points to a2010 incident tounveil a social apps money created by Kleiner Perkins. At the time, famed VC John Doerr was hosting a body that included Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and Doerr asked Bezos what advice he had for investors and founders.
If I were coming out of institution today, said Bezos, I remember I would be very passionate about genetic engineering, synthetic life, I imagine these are incredible localities . . .
Doerr, confused by the change of subject, ended, On social networks?
No, Bezos prolonged, Im talking about test tube and engineering real biological animals to solve clean vigor and a whole knot in the best interests issues.
I was blown away by that, says Peterson, whose conglomerate has invested roughly a billion dollars since its inception, some of itin life sciences fellowships, and often of it via special purpose vehicles whose funding has come from CEOs, CFOs, actors and boasts hotshots. Says Peterson, They enjoy the relevant recommendations of access, and theyve included an enormous amount of value to a corporation that weve funded.
So where isPeterson who plansto raise a store for Artis next year get his leads today? We asked him that and much more in a wide-ranging communication yesterday. Heres an outtake TAGEND TC: You went behind Stemcentrix at a time when not many in Silicon Valley were focusing on novel biotech cancer medicines .
SP: You had Zynga and Groupon and Twitter and all these seemingly overnight achievers that had raised very little capital and were producing enormous restores. We felt like maybe theres precisely one YouTube and now its time to move on.
TC: VCs surely would agree with you at this point. I dont envision a week moves withoutanother house jumping into biotech endowing .
SP: Because a lot which are beneficial accruing to the tech scenery are now accruing to the life science room. Ten years ago, it cost a few million dollars to map out the human rights genome; now its a few hundred dollars and before you know it, itll be $30. Its collapsing faster than Moores Law.
But its not just about delineating out your genetic education determined; theres opening in everything that living on and inside of you. Its funny, we dont even understand hitherto whats going on in our microbiome, hitherto we want to travel to Mars. I love the exuberance, but our torsoes are their own solar system. We need to get to a extent where instead of having a doctor measure you for 20 or so pathogens to figure out whats incorrect, the doctor says, Were going to sequence your bacteria, fungi and viruses, and Im going to tell you exactly what you have in an hour.
Its like thisNetscape browser moment. You knew it was powerful, but you didnt know where it was going to take us. Now we know that mapping out your own instruction adjusted is powerful, but where will it take us? I think well catch out shortly, and that its going to liberate a tremendous amount of value.
TC: What are some of your most recent life science bets ?
SP: We did the Series A of a company announced IDbyDNA[ which aims to be able to identify any pathogen] a year ago. We money Fabric Genomics[ whose software aggregates insights about cancer and pediatric genomics from around the world, then spits out an actionable report for lab technicians to send off to clinicians ].
Were moving full circle[ in our newfound they are able to more readily find co-investors ]. When we looked at Stemcentrix and needed to find another investor, it was really hard.We all searched all over the table, and we said, We better call Peter Thiel. I didnt have a number two.
[ Writers memorandum: Questioned for explain, a spokesperson for investor Brian Singerman, who is credited with potting on Stemcentrix on behalf of the members of Thiels Founders Fund, says Singermanwas introduced to Stemcentrix via the debt firm WTI .]
TC: You established it on Forbess Midas List this week. How are you feeling about it ?
SP: I learn 12 people who money Twitter. If I was given a choice between money a targeted therapeutic to dry cancer or Twitter, Id take the therapeutic. I look at the scrap thats money every day, and even if its staggeringly successful, who attends? Will it change my life?
TC: Alot of investors do seem to be suffering a similar transformation in reputing .
SP: I think were ensure it. Y Combinator is trying to wrap its arms around the life sciences possibility. Yesterday we put a period sheet out to a life sciences companionship, and guess who was there with a term sheet? Andreessen Horowitz.
Whats interesting to watch is how people pivot but try to keep their fib unscathed. The endeavour firm Data Collective want to get do everything in large-hearted data, but then they began to see the possibilities of in life science. So what do you tell investors? That genomics is the biggest data opportunity weve “ve ever seen”. Andreessen is the same. It was never going to invest in healthcare, then it had to pivot into life sciences without gazing crazy.
I think its great, by the way. If youre investing in[ the video stage] Vessel[ acquired, then shut down, last year by Verizon] or[ the pet-sitting assistance] DogVacay, I dont think you can complaints about the lack of exits.
TC: So speak to me Benchmark here. I dont think theyve climbed into life sciences .
SP: Trust me, if[ Benchmarks] Bill Gurley ran after these targeted therapeutics and he was successful, he would have asmuch liquidity as he could imagine. Sequoia is trying. Kleiner is trying. Either these conglomerates swivel or theyll disappear. They only wont be relevant.
TC: Youve money an display of firms from different industries. Are you saying youll merely do life science transactions now ?
SP: We look at everything. We preceded a $35 millionround in[ the networking companionship] Versa Networks. Were about to lead another round in a healthcare company thats in stealth and well probably create $35 million for them. We invest in about a dozen companies each year. But theres no authorization. This is a possibility the last networking batch we do, or the last targeted therapeutics spate we ever do.
As far as the consumer-facing infinite, I dont know. I make,[ the video editing and movie making app] Flipagram I dont even know what this is. I was like, I cant listen to this for five minutes. It looks like Instagram to me with longer video feeds. Its multitudes probably seemed just like Googles early on, but I didnt upkeep.[ Writers memorandum: Sequoia and Kleiner, Googles earliest go investors, wound up co-leadingFlipagrams early funding. The companionship, which struggled to gain momentum, sold in February to the Chinese firm Toutiao .]
Same with Jet.com. I precisely reckoned: If this is hugely successful, who attends? Amazon is already controlling on razor-thin margins.
I suppose people in the Midwest, when they ascertain five different billionaires that come out of a place like Twitter or 12 different project funds that helped make acompany asuccess, they are likely think: Is this the best we can do? Truly?
