I will never get over Gale’s stupid ass thinking that Finnick wanted Katniss at the beginning of Mockingjay, when the entire time that man was breaking down and longing for Annie. Like the whole reason Katniss and Finnick became close friends was their joined love and longing for Peeta and Annie who were both imprisoned in the capital together.

Hi! I fully do not understand investing, but I’m going to follow the directions you and others give about IRA investments. The one thing that I totally do not grasp is the allocating the funs into an index. Isnt there a scenerio where the index loses money and by retirement age you check it out and it went completely under or something?
Hey kiddo! And welcome to the wide world of investing. You're on the right track by starting an IRA for your retirement.
Yes, there are people who lose money by investing their retirement fund. This happens when they retire at the same time a recession or stock market crash happens. And it's fucking unlucky timing.
If you invest $100, and the market falls to the point that it's worth $80, you will lose money if you pull your money out when it's worth $80. But after the fall, when the market recovers so your original investment is worth $120, and THEN you pull your money out... you will have made money!
In other words, timing matters. We explain exactly how this works here:
Wait... Did I Just Lose All My Money Investing in the Stock Market?
Now to address the second part of your question. You can avoid the risk of losing money by regularly adjusting your allocation. When you're young and many years from retirement, you can allocate your portfolio aggressively into higher-risk investments. Who cares if you lose money in the short term? As we explain in the link above, you don't actually LOSE the money until you take the money out of the stock market.
But as you get older and nearer to retirement, you want to lock in your gains by moving your money from high-risk investments like stocks to safer investments like bonds. That way when you get within a few years of retirement, you can kind of "protect" your investments from being overly affected by market fluctuations.
In other words: allocation is not a one-time activity. We explain this more here:

This was a big oversimplification, but we go into detail about all of this here:

I saw you in your darkness because it looked so much like mine.
I stretched out my hand in the cosmos until I felt your grip entwine.
I knew you before I met you, our souls no strangers here
I will ever sense your heartbeat, I will always taste your tears
There is no goodbye within the mirror, we pass on a parallel plane
For my heart will always know you, my soul will ever whisper your name

While the Sensates bond, Nomi takes a bold move to gain her freedom and Sun makes a choice she might someday regret.

Do you think Vulcans ever experience a moment where they miss someone or want to check up on them and mentally reach for them only to remember they don’t have a bond with that person and will have to physically communicate with them in some other way?

🌙 lore: bonds and truemates
bonds
Bonds are essential for people’s health & well-being. While it is possible for an adult to survive without any, it leaves people weaker and more susceptible to illness. It’s harder to generate body heat, & can leave a person feeling numb or depressed.
Pups, especially those under twelve, don’t tend to survive long without bonds, often succumbing to illness.
There are four types of bonds.
Packbond. A packbond is a surface level bond that allows you to sense your packs emotions & well-being as long as you’re in range. Pack size determines range—the larger the pack, the larger the range. It’s formed by licking over & nipping the scent gland.
Imprint bond. Imprinting is very similar to a packbond, with the main difference being it appears instantaneously. It is most common in parents and pups, usually occurring at birth—but sometimes a packless puppy will imprint on an adult. Siblings also have imprint bonds.
Matebond. A matebond is a deeper bond, which allows you to sense your mate’s emotions & well-being over a slightly larger range. Matebonds are formed by a bite, hard enough to draw blood. It must be done with the second set of fangs, formed during presentation. It will scar.
Truemate bond. The easiest and most obvious way to know if you’re someone’s truemate. A truebond allows you to not only sense emotions and their well-being—it also allows a pair to share thoughts, though this can take practice. It’s formed the same way as a mating bond.
A bond can be muffled or blocked temporarily if a person doesn’t want their pack or mate to know how they’re feeling. It is difficult to maintain a block without practice. Pups find it nearly impossible.
Bonds can fade over time, and need occasional re-affirming. This is done through scenting, and/or skin-to-skin contact.
It is possible to force a pack- or matebond on someone else. It’s considered a crime to do so in the modern-era, but some areas allow the bond to be consented to by other packmembers.
Bonds can be broken, either purposefully or through death. Omegas have the easiest time doing so, as they tend to be most in tune with their bonds. However, doing so is painful for both sides, and can send a person into a drop or feral state. It also leaves behind a craving for touch, body aches, and sometimes fatigue or fever. Bonds which are allowed to fade don’t leave behind as intense of symptoms, but they’re still present. Having other packbonds to rely on can lessen the intensity.
If a mating bond is broken, the scar will fade, but never fully disappear.
truemates
Truemates are rare. Some people believe that everyone has a truemate, but the world is so large it’s hard to find them. Now that the world is “growing smaller”, so to speak, it’s more likely that there will be an increase in truemates. While it is true there are more than there once were, it’s still very rare.
Truemates are also very difficult to spot, which contributes to their rarity. Some people don’t even believe in them, creating bias.
There are several signs of a truemate. Other than the first sign, all other signs of a truemate can’t be detected until both pairs hormones have leveled out. (Usually between 17-22.)
First, the smell. Your truemate will have a very appealing smell—moreso than any other person’s smell. It can bring with it a feeling of safety, as well. This isn’t an immediate flag, though, as it’s not unusual to meet someone whose smell you like over another.
Second, smelling them around a season will trigger a fertile cycle—and will until a bonding. If someone already has a mate, or romantic partner, though, this can be easy to miss—as their scent can also trigger a fertile cycle.
Third, they have a very calming influence. Their scent, their voice, their sounds—all of them can help ease their truemate out of panic, rage, etc.
Fourth, their bond. This is the most definitive and obvious sign of a truemate, though, of course, it can only be discovered after a romantic relationship has been cultivated. (Save, I suppose, for an arranged mating ceremony.)

I still don’t understand how people think the mating bond is just a snap and bang type of connection.
With Feysand and Nessian, both mated couples had build up before the “snap” happened. Rhys already knew he loved Feyre before she even turned fae. The same was with Cassian, he couldn’t keep his eyes off Nesta when they were at the manor. (Azriel’s attention was also fully on Elain).
The idea that Elain going into the cauldron and then Lucien’s bond immediately snapping parallels Rhys’ parents bond. His father went to the Illyrian camps and when he saw Rhys’ mom in distress, the bond snapped, and he misted everyone. And we know from Rhys it wasn’t a love match.
Does this not parallel Eluciens bond? The argument of him fighting before Elain went in the cauldron can easily be dismissed as him realizing that he and Tamlin messed up. Elain was the first to go in, which could have easily been Nesta and he would have done the same. Lucien, while giving into Tamlins will easily, is not a bad guy. He knew what was happening was wrong. Once Elain came out, and she was wet and basically naked, he covered her up. The instinct to protect her after what happened would have happened with Nesta as well. Then the bond snapped as they were looking at each other.
I personally believe that Nesta and Lucien were originally going to be the story line of the rejected bond (as SJM mentioned when she said that was the original pair she thought of). But once determining Nesta’s character, it wasn’t viable because Nesta would have immediately rejected it. Elain, on the other hand, is kind and quite. This is why we still have the bond not being rejected.
This is the simplest example of showing different bonds in my opinion: bonds that are built on love, and bonds that are potentially just built on necessity and potentially breeding (as explained by Rhys).
Whether you want to admit it or not, Elain and Azriel do have build up. And it is not in a platonic way. There are genuine feelings involved, and ACOFAS clearly sets it up.
Could Elain come to love Lucien? Maybe. But SJM diminished Lucien’s character pretty drastically post ACOWAR. I don’t think she would do this for someone who was the next love interest in a novel (but that’s just my opinion).
Regardless if it’s a real bond, fake bond, bond of convenience or whatever, there is definitely going to be the idea of free will and choice in Elain’s novel. And this concept relates to Lucien and Azriel as well as Elain.

Moonlit Bonds - Hayley Marshall x reader
Tumblr media
Masterlist
New Orleans was a city of mystique, where every corner held secrets and every cobblestone street whispered tales of the supernatural. You found yourself drawn there, a stranger in a city where you sensed you belonged. Fate led you to Hayley Marshall, a woman with a fierce spirit and an aura of mystery that matched the city she called home.
As you navigated the labyrinthine streets, a chance encounter brought you face-to-face with Hayley. Her eyes held a mix of curiosity and recognition, as if she too had felt the pull of destiny. She welcomed you into her world, introducing you to the complex dynamics of the supernatural factions that ruled New Orleans.
Days turned into nights, and you and Hayley found yourselves sharing stories by the firelight. Her tales of the Mikaelson family's history intrigued you, while your own stories seemed to captivate her. There was an unspoken understanding between you, a connection that transcended mere friendship.
One evening, beneath the light of the full moon, Hayley took you to the bayou. The soft rustle of leaves and the distant howl of a wolf created a symphony of nature around you. As the moon's glow bathed the surroundings in ethereal light, Hayley turned to you with a contemplative expression.
"It's strange," she mused, her voice carrying a hint of vulnerability. "Meeting you feels like... coming home."
You nodded, your heart echoing her sentiment. "I know what you mean. It's as if this city, and you, were always a part of my story."
In that moment, amidst the beauty of the bayou and the magic of the moon, you both realized that your paths had intertwined for a reason. The threads of fate had brought you to Hayley, and her presence had enriched your life in ways you couldn't have anticipated.
As your connection deepened, you found yourself standing by Hayley's side in the face of danger. Ancient vendettas and power struggles threatened the peace she had fought so hard to build. Together, you navigated the treacherous waters of supernatural politics, your bond growing stronger with every challenge you overcame.
Amidst the chaos, you and Hayley stole moments of respite, finding solace in each other's arms. Her touch was as gentle as a breeze, yet as fierce as a storm—a reflection of the woman who had captured your heart.
One night, as the moon reached its zenith, you and Hayley stood on a rooftop overlooking the city. The view was breathtaking, the city's lights reflecting in her eyes as she turned to you with a soft smile.
"Life is unpredictable," she began, her voice a soothing melody in the night. "But meeting you has been the best kind of surprise."
Your fingers intertwined with hers, and you met her gaze, your heart brimming with emotion. "Hayley, being with you has been a journey I wouldn't trade for anything."
Under the watchful gaze of the moon, you shared a kiss that sealed your feelings—a testament to the connection that had transcended time, space, and the supernatural world around you.
As the days turned into nights, and the moon continued its eternal dance across the sky, your love story with Hayley Marshall unfolded in the heart of New Orleans. Amidst the magic and mystique of the city, you embraced the unknown together, holding onto the unbreakable bond that destiny had woven between you.
THE END
