when she's not busy racing, nari works at her own garage. all this money she got from racing had to go to something, might as well for it to go towards something else she loves. she was wearing a blue jumper that was covered in car grease stains and was laying underneath one of her own personal cars in order to work on it. there was nothing particularly wrong with it, she just wanted to get faster much sooner than what it was doing right now. nari was so focused that she didn't hear someone approaching until they tapped her car. "hold, if you need help go to someone else." nari said, as she had enough workers who could help costumers but when the person didn't leave she sighed and slid out. "yeah, what?"
Pilf, I work in a secondhand bookstore and this just came in today. I haven't read the actual L'homme qui rit so I have no idea if this adaptation is any good, but I thought you might be interested in knowing about its existence as a graphic novel.
Oh, very cool!! I'd seen the cover way way back but never any of the interior art! I really like the exaggerated style, it's got such a good unnerving quality. Thank you so much for the nice clear photos!
a chaperon arrived to greet you in front of the limousine, even in there you were offered accommodations such as drinks and small appetizers as you were driven to your destination, which have taken you all day to prepare for. vogue world promised to be everything the met gala is but better, more luxuries and only for the most elite of celebrities, to not only celebrate fashion, but you as well.

tw: drug dealing implied
Viviana was just a child when her father uprooted his family from Barranquilla, Colombia to New York City to join her grandfather in the family business he would eventually run. Growing up, she was the princesa, and apple of her kingpin father’s eye. Though she was surrounded by the family business, daddy’s little girl was always thought to be just that and young Viviana was kept as in the dark as much as possible when it came to his dirty work, deemed by her father a man’s business.
It was a challenge that made his endeavors all the more intriguing to her. While her mother urged her to help her with dinner, little Vivi found herself sneaking off to get into trouble with the neighborhood kids. She was sharp, intuitive, and business savvy taking after her father more than mother. Quickly, she learned the ways of the streets. Eager to prove herself, Viviana used her cleverness to hustle kids and make a pretty penny. Her efforts only disappointed her parents, and the more Viviana was kept away the more she began to rebel.
By the time Viviana was 16, she was shipped back to the motherland in hopes of straightening her out and keeping her away from the threats that came with being a kingpin’s daughter. She lived with her Tia Carmen outside of Barranquilla learning the ways of the old country. Her seamstress Tia taught her not only the secrets behind the family recipes, how to dance, tend a garden, but shared with her niece her craft. Viviana learned the ins and outs of clothing making. She was taught how to sew, take in a dress, lower a hem, and practiced countless hours with her aunt.
After living in Colombia for five years, Viviana returned to New York City not only with renewed sense of clarity, but a hunger to pursue a degree in fashion merchandising. She was inspired by her Tia Carmen and all the sights and colors of her family’s homeland, determined to integrate its beauty into her designs. In return, her father gifted her a boutique in the heart of Manhattan, not only as a reward for a job well done but also as another distraction in hopes she would be too busy with the boutique to concern herself with business dealings.
But Viviana not only wanted to just run a small shop, she wanted to make a name for herself. She wanted her designs to go international, and to dress the most famous names in the world. And so, Viviana started small, networking and collaborating with other people in the industry and getting her designs pictured on D list celebrities. She attended fashion events, trade shows, and workshops where she met editors, journalists, stylists, photographers, models, and influencers peddling her designs to anyone who would listen.
One editor from Vogue (wanted connection), took a special liking towards her and Viviana seized the opportunity to use this person for their connections. A couple dates here, a couple nights together there and eventually she was being mentioned to dress some of the top celebrities. She was even offered a spread in Vogue as one of the industry's new up and coming talents to keep an eye on.
Now at age 30, Viviana is continuing to find her way in the cut throat world of fashion, determined to keep the momentum going. Since her debut, she has opened other storefronts in some of the major fashion capitals ( Milian, London, and Paris) and is willing to do just about anything to prove that she too has what it takes to become one of fashion’s greatest icons.

where: some sort of sports bar or a similar location
Daniel was itching. Not literally, of course, but he may well have been. The need to get on a plane and go somewhere anywhere was like a physical itch under his skin. It got like this sometimes… Whenever he’d stayed in one place for too long. It was why the particular job -- if it could be called that -- that he'd chosen for himself worked so well for him. He could scratch his travel itch and call it an occupation. “So here’s what’s going to happen,” Daniel began, balancing the weight of the dart in his hand. “I get on a plane to where ever this bad boy lands. You’re free to join me. Or not. Your choice.”

SYNOPSIS !
DAEYONG KWON WAS BORN & RAISED IN SOUTH KOREA. a model since his infancy (more like the family’s cash cow 👀) - dean has always had a CUTE AND HANDSOME face ever since he could babble, and that would get him booked endlessly. guess we could say he’s been working for as long as he can remember.
IN TERMS OF SCHOOL, he graduated from high school (12th year) and went on to university to graduate with a degree in film at the age of twenty-one. daeyong managed to graduate early because he continued his classes either online or in-person—to get school out of the way/over with—during the summer.
SINCE HE’S BEEN MODELING FOR THE LONGEST TIME, he’s been able to do runway and walk for prestigious fashion designers across the globe - be it in new york, milan, paris, or wherever, he’s happy to walk and bring light to those big or small. he knows that some people gravitate towards him / has a level of power to bring attention to whatever means A LOT to him. but he means well !
THIS KID DOESN’T HAVE A BAD BONE IN HIS BODY. he’s the Softest Boi™ on the planet and a little too pure (well, not that pure) for his own good. he’s too kind sometimes and maybe he knows that often people use his kindness against him, but he simply does not care at the same time. his parents, on the other hand, are something else. unfortunately.
HE’S BEEN ABLE TO SURROUND HIMSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE, anyhow. he has a good heart and is grateful for those around him, especially a particular handful — his friend group, to be exact, whom he chooses to keep close to his ‹3 [heart]. no matter how busy life can get, dean’s the one (1) friend who will be there for you through thick and thin.
AFTER BEING IN SEVERAL FILMS, he still considers himself a rookie actor despite making a name for himself outside of modeling. daeyong feels like he hasn’t gotten on a level that he’s always strived for and has so much to learn.
THE MIDDLE CHILD OF HIS FAMILY. well, sort of? daeyong has an older sibling and two (2) younger siblings—the 4th is less than 8teen years old. in his mother & father’s eyes, dean’s the only one that could do wrong? while his siblings don’t? he is estranged from his parents but not from his siblings. it’s the messiest situation and he loathes it. doesn’t talk about his parents at all and never brings them up in conversations either.
TRIES TO KEEP HIS PRIVATE LIFE AWAY FROM PRYING EYES. dude is so quiet sometimes; you might think he’s an orphan or something. he might as well be with how his parents are acting. there have been rumors here and there, but he doesn’t bother saying a word, clearing the air, nothing. daeyong really tries to keep his life as mysterious as possible. even if he’s the most endearing boy on the planet.
FOR A SUPPOSED ROOKIE (in his own words), daeyong feels like he has a lot of potential in the acting world, even if he’s just a boy with a pretty face. he has only been in a few handful of flicks and chooses them carefully, but isn’t too fearful to venture out of his comfort zone. he finds auditions to be incredibly exhilarating but also nerve-wracking. he’s an odd boy with mood swings, let’s be honest.
i’ve never been able to write mean characters (afab/men specifically), so please accept and love my sweet / soft boi with open arms... because i’ve got nothing else to say.
WANTED CONNECTIONS !
mentor (???!!!)
ex-girlfriend or current (something cute for once, maybe? or angsty? fluff?)
will they, won’t they (might be fun, i don’t know)
pr relationship
fellow model acquaintances (they’ve walked the runway together??)
siblings (!!!! but i think i’ll send a wc to the main?)
a cousin or two (these connections are so underrated)
Hi I’m not sure if you’re aware put people are going around screenshotting your tumblr and sharing it on callout and adult yume hate tweets. I felt so weird messaging that’s why anon but I wanted to let you know about it, with the harassment and doxxing that has happened recently! I’m a fellow Jack yume and adore your art so this is sad to see.
So called ''normal people'' when they got nothing to do
Yeah I'm aware of the rabid anti-yume swarm in twitter..... I've seen plenty of moots getting hate campaigns and being doxxed to the point where I'm almost desensitized to it. What's the point of persecuting yumeshippers?? Especially the adult ones who quite literally keep the game alive and running for consuming and making content and buying merch? So they can feel entitled to the non-existent anime boy and feel morally superior for not having ''disGusTInG THOUGHTS'' about an imaginary little guy despite literally commiting a cybercrime and thinking they've just did a favor society?? Truly a priviledged chronically online teenager moment™
I was already expecting to get hate at some point but thankfully I've been focusing on my academic and social life lately so discourses online just seem more and more insignificant and irrelevant (as they always should be) going outside and touching grass is really healing and important to make you realize that there are greater irl problems to worry about than protecting fictional characters and harassing strangers on the internet, everybody should do that methinks 🧡
I might be a target of doxxing one day and honestly??:? I don't care. It's gonna be funny as hell. Cause it's probably some american teenager who thinks that doxxing an user in another country is gonna make the FBI arrest me for kissing my fictional blorbo in my head and that I'll be beaten up on the streets lol. Mini Karen, I assure you no one in south america cares about fictional character discourses to the point of making threats as much as people in the US do (and u guys somehow think that's normal behaviour) much LESS in my city, it's gonna do nothing 😭
Anyway, thanks for the heads up!!! I hope you thrive with your yume with Jack, he needs more love, don't let gatekeeper losers ruin your vibe 💗💗💗💗
they would ask questions he answered thousands upon thousands of times but kale still smiled, still ever polite to interviewers. did he care what he was wearing to the red carpet? not really but some people care for fashion and his suit was costly after all. but all kale wanted to talk about is his next film, which of course some interviewers mentioned and he talked about all he legally could, since his film was in post-production phase at the moment. he walked on the carpet when he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around. "hey, i didn't know i would see you here!" he greeted. "how are you?"
https://twitter.com/hourlyseb/status/1612912988691767312?t=lHq-HJIqN6V3JKpBcvV0Nw&s=19 Sebastian being a little too loud but what's new 😭😂
Ummm, oh my god??? How have I never seen this bit?? Sebastian 😭
"By making out with men on set" - omg... And I feel like there's a tiiiiiuny pause before the 'on set', which I think is very significant 👀😂 I love him!! 💖💖
random tangent zuri, but what do you think of the childe fan -> aventurine fan pipeline. i feel like it is a thing but i am wondering what the #1 childe fan thinks /lhq
i honestly have no idea and don't have the 2D man expertise to give a professional comment on it so this is my answer:
dead eye twink with traumatising things happened to them and fluffy hair and cute smile
thank you for coming to my ted talk
also, i rly don't know how this came to be. i saw a random amv of aventurine on instagram one day and was OBSESSED. i didn't even know who he was or that he was from honkai. i heard his laugh from the time he talks to topaz on the phone and i was sold. he now sits in the "2D men I simp for" room in my mind palace with the others.
Không hiểu sao dạo này đọc sách lại có cảm giác hay muốn khóc. Có lẽ vì được những con người vĩ đại truyền cảm hứng chăng.
Dưới đây là một vài đoạn hay trong cuốn sách mình mới vừa đọc xong về Tổng Thư Ký Liên Hợp Quốc Ban Ki Moon:
Việc sử dụng hiệu quả thời gian không chỉ là việc "sử dụng thời gian cho tốt" mà còn là "quản lý thời gian hiệu quả". Điều này cũng có nghĩa là nỗ lực hết mình mọi lúc, mọi nơi.
"Mỗi lần điện thoại đổ chuông chẳng khác nào việc ai đó gõ cửa phòng bạn, cách trả lời điện thoại cũng giống như thái độ bạn ra mở cửa." (No Shin Young - Người thầy lớn của TTK Ban Ki Moon)
"Đừng bao giờ dẹp những bức thư trên bàn sang một bên nếu như chưa hồi đáp." (No "Thiên lý mã nhận được lời khen ngợi không phải bởi sức mạnh mà bởi khí chất và phẩm chất cao quý của nó." Chỉ khi gặp được chủ nhân đích thực, hiểu rõ và công nhận nó thì Thiên lý mã mới có thể phát huy hết uy lực.
"Tôi luôn cố gắng đặt mình vào vị trí của người khác để hiểu v�� tôn trọng họ."
Người ta thường nói rằng ngoại giao là một cuộc chiến không tiếng súng, nhà ngoại giao là các chiến binh phải chiến đấu tay không, vì thế, có thể coi ngoại ngữ chính là vũ khí duy nhất của họ.
Con người ai cũng có những hạn chế riêng. Việc thành công hay thất bại không phải có căn nguyên từ những hạn chế đó, mà là tùy thuộc vào việc có hay không niềm đam mê khắc phục chúng và cải thiện bản thân.
Nhà ngoại giao là chiến binh dùng lời nói làm vũ khí trên chính trường. Cuộc sống sinh hoạt ở nước ngoài được ví như hành trình của kẻ lang thang. Họ phải đến những miền đất lạ và phải rời đi khi vừa tạm thích nghi với nó. Sau vài năm trở lại, đất nước nơi họ sinh ra lại trở nên lạ lẫm với những đổi thay.
"Con à, người đàn ông mà về nhà trước khi mặt trời lặn thì chỉ có thể do anh ta không có việc gì để làm hoặc không có chí tiến thủ. Vì thế, sau này đừng than phiền gì nếu như con rể Ban đi làm về muộn nhé." (Đây là lời khuyên của mẹ vợ khi hai vợ chồng ông Ban Ki Moon về chung một nhà)
Khi làm việc hết lòng bằng sự vô tư, trong sáng không một chút toan tính, chúng ta rồi sẽ nhận lại những thành quả tốt đẹp.
"Anh bạn yêu quý của tôi, cuộc đời ấy mà, có lúc phải cật lực lắm mới leo lên được đỉnh núi, nhưng cũng có những chỗ quanh co, mình phải bước xuống chứ không còn cách nào khác. Vả lại, càng ở vị trí cao, người ta càng dễ dàng gặp những trở ngại như thế. Tôi biết anh ấm ức nhưng đây đâu phải dấu chấm hết cho cuộc đời anh, vì thế đừng quá đau lòng. Vấn đề là vào những lúc như thế này, anh phải sống cho tốt hơn. Người ta dễ dàng sống tốt vào những lúc xuôi chèo mát mái. Nhưng chính những lúc gian nan thế này mới cần đến nghị lực phi thường của con người đấy, anh bạn ạ." (Đây là lời khuyên nhủ của người thầy No Shin Young gửi đến cho TTK khi ông buộc phải đứng ra chịu trách nhiệm trong một sự cố ngoại giao khi đang nắm giữ chức vụ Thứ Trưởng Bộ Ngoại Giao vào tháng 02/2001. Nhưng cũng nhờ như vậy ông mới có cơ hội về làm Chánh Văn Phòng Thư ký cho Đại Hội đồng LHQ từ lời mời của Bộ Trưởng Bộ Ngoại Giao Han Seung Soo - đang đồng thời đảm nhiệm vị trí Chủ Tịch Đại Hội Đồng LHQ lúc bấy giờ. Đây cũng được xem là bước đệm và giúp cho ông Ban Ki Moon nhận được sự đồng thuận hoàn toàn trong cuộc bầu cử vào vị trí Tổng Thư Ký LHQ ở cả 2 nhiệm kỳ sau này. Trong cuộc sống, lắm khi gặp những điều không theo ý muốn cũng đừng nên vội vàng than trách, ngã quỵ. Những gì đến và đi đều có lý do của nó cả, thay vì thắc mắc những gì đã xảy ra, chúng ta hãy chứng tỏ năng lực của bản thân một cách mạnh mẽ. Để đến khi cánh cửa cơ hội một lần nữa mở ra, bạn mới có đủ khả năng để nắm giữ nó.
