You were not ready for this but you did ask nicely 💕💕

TL:DR I find out a software is made by the same person who made another software I use

So the other day I was ripping movies from my collection using a software called dvd decrypter and then burning them onto other disks so I could watch them off of my ps3 without wearing out the original disk. The software I was using for the burning was call imgburn. Anyway both softwares end with the same jingle to let you know that they are done, so I decide to look up the 1st software and figure out who made it.

ITS THE SAME PERSON!

It's this coder called "lightningUK!" Who was in the process of creating a software called dvd decrypter untill they were sued by a company called macrovision. This led to a larger court case where it was settled that owning software that could make digital copies of CD's is fine but distribution of those softwares is a big no no. With that in mind they started work on another software called imgburn which could burn files onto disks but couldn't rip disks as it couldn't circumvent copy protection like the last one.

Now that leaves the question of what happened to dvd decrypter. The mad lad went and finished it anyway then distributed it all around on a mirror site online. Now anyone can find it if they look hard enough.

AND IT STILL WORKS!

Companies haven't updated DVD copy protection in years as it's seen as an outdated format. But they forget that bluray depends on that as well!

What I'm trying to say is that everyone should buy a bluray dvd reader/burner and copy bluray movies. It's what lightningUK! would've wanted.

Sometimes I really hate being gay.

I use to have really good friendships with other women before I came out. Straight women in particular, and I always loved them and understood it was always gonna be platonic and I was happy with that,

I loved having them in my life.

So when I came out to them, I trusted them to understand I am the same person I was before, their friend that loves unconditionally and will stick by them.

They did say they will support me and that we are friends before our religious culture, it made me trust them.

But life can be disappointing,

They pushed me away a bit, I brushed it off, but the way they stopped talking about close matters we used to, stopped hugging me as much, and stopped jokely flirting with me.

And it wouldn’t bother me as much if they didn’t hug and jokely flirt with all their straight guy friends.

It mades me feel on the outside, like I did something wrong…

I know other countries deal with a lot worst for being gay, Ik so many countries still have prison consequences and even death penalties, but this is just my small little problem.

But this is for others who can relate if you’re having a hard time too <3

When Samira was first released, it didn't take long for people to compare her to Miss Fortune. Both are bounty hunters with a Devil-May-Cry aesthetic, gunslingers that scream "I'm going to shoot you and look sexy doing it". Samira in many ways felt like a modernized MF, a run-and-gun crit ADC with insane wombo-combo potential, yet decked out with the tools necessary to survive a decade's worth of power creep.

It took all of 5 seconds for people to ship them together.

On paper, the ship just *works*. Sarah's perpetually flirtatious nature is an invitation to dance that the thrill-seeking Samira simply can't resist. Sarah/Samira works for the same reason as MF/Katarina - one of the game's oldest ships, which I will insist be referred to as "Red-Head-Redemption". Fortune's intense personal charisma - her "Miss Fortune" persona, which she uses to mask her unresolved trauma and grief - pairs perfectly with the Noxian assassins' culturally-cultivated need to prove themselves by murdering as many people as possible. She is the spark to their tinder, igniting them both in a self-destructive blaze that will see them girl-boss their way to world domination or die trying.

I think the ship works in theory, but I have a hard time seeing either of them involved in a traditional relationship. Sarah has too much on her hands, struggling to find a balance between resorting to Gangplank's tyranny and letting Bilgewater tear itself apart, while also constantly having to deal with the threat of the Ruination everytime Viego decides to make his bitchlessness everyone else's problem. Samira meanwhile is an adrenaline-junkie who canonically values her thrill-seeking ways over settling down into a steady relationship - a fact which ended her last romance, as alluded to in one of her voice lines. I think what is more likely is that they develop an intense flirtatious-rivalry - competing to see who can pull off the most impressive trick-shots, trying to one-up each other by bringing in the most dangerous bounties, or maybe even hunting bounties on each other. Nothing says "being pursued by your love interest" like them actually chasing you down. I can't see them actually developing a long-term relationship, but the homoerotic tension would be off the chart.

The drunken-sex would be mind-blowing. And then Samira would go back to Noxus in search of her next bounty, and Sarah would clean up the mess they made in her manor and put the alcohol back on the shelf, and cry because she *still* hurts. Still hasn't healed from the scars Gangplank left on her. Not even this - this *thing* they have - can fill the void her parents left inside her.

Unless, of course, Samira can help her start the healing process by developing healthier coping mechanisms? Samira, who also lost everything as a child and had to start over as an immigrant in Noxus?

Anyway, as someone who has officially spent Too Much Time™️ thinking about the Pirate Queen, I felt obligated to share my thoughts on the matter.

Also, in case you're internally screaming "bUt WhO sAiD tHeY'rE gAy!?" - Riot has made it pretty clear through Legends of Runeterra - their card game which often serves as an info-dump for the world-building and character exploration they can't flesh out in the main game - that Sarah has at least a preference for women; see her interactions with Vi and Prowling Cutthroat, as well as her all-female crew in her level 1 card art - a noteworthy detail, as Bilgewater's pirate population is depicted as being predominantly male. Samira, meanwhile, is one of the most fruity-inclusive characters Riot has ever produced - she specifically refers to her previous lover as "they", leaving the gender up to the fanfic writers, and specifically addresses "guys, gals, and other pals" when she respawns.
