What do you mean he's not eldritch?
What if all of the members of the Bat Family other than Tim Drake were secretly eldritch abominations?
They all work very hard at pretending to be human, and they've even gotten pretty good at passing. They can even mostly avoid the uncanny valley when in their civilian identities. There was a heck of a learning curve, but they've gotten things figured out for the most part.
Enter: Tim Drake
Weird, poorly socialized, probably autistic Tim Drake
The Bats think they've encountered a fellow eldritch being in disguise, and one that seems like he could use some help blending in. Naturally, they're quick to welcome him into their fold. Jason is delighted to take his turn at being a big brother mentor.
It takes a comedically long time for anyone to realize something's up because there is an absurd amount of overlap between stuff you need to know for masking and stuff you need to know to pass as human.
Meanwhile, Tim is amazed that the Bats have apparently decided he's cool enough to hang out with. It's like something out of his daydreams. They even have good advice for him on problems he hadn't known how to ask about. They are so patient and understanding about it, too. They never get annoyed with him for not already knowing. They also seem to be okay with the bits of weirdness he can't change.
Just weird kid Tim getting bundled into an incredibly helpful and supportive found family of eldritch entities. They're all going to get a good grade in human-ing, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.
...
I imagine the Bats are various different kinds of eldritch abominations because they're still adopted. They look wildly different when not in human form.
Bruce is a mass of... shadows? Smoke? Something dark and formless that shifts and flows in different ways depending on his mood.
Dick kind of looks like a pile of owls that is also somehow a single body.
Barbara is a spiral galaxy with stars that are also eyes somehow?
Jason is a solid-looking mass of muscle with six strong legs, a thick coat of shaggy hair, a mouth that opens much further along his body than it seems like it should, and even more teeth than you'd expect a mouth that size to have.
Stephanie Brown is kind of like an incredibly dense storm system with purple glitter.
Cassandra is a silhouette through which undiscovered nebulae can be seen. What she is a silhouette of depends on her mood.
Tim, they have only ever seen in his meticulously well-crafted human form. He's really good at that part even if he needed some help with the behavioral bits.
Damian is half human. Talia saw a mass of living darkness trying really hard to pretend to be a man and decided she was into that.
...
Dick: So, eye contact is actually pretty simple once you have the formula figured out. You need to cycle between looking at the other person and looking at something else at the appropriate frequency. If you look at them too much it will come across as staring. If you look away for too long they'll think you're not paying attention to them. You'll need to experiment to figure out the appropriate frequency.
Tim: *frets*
Jason: You don't have to look straight at their eyes, just in the general direction of their face.
Tim: Oh! I can do that!
...
I think Eldritch Bruce having history with the league of assassins in a markedly less inentional way than Canon would be funny. Like, you'd think an encounter between an eldritch abomination and a cult would be deliberate on someone's part, but no.
Bruce was still young and unskilled at differentiating between normal and abnormal human behavior.

Some Gwynriel headcons:
We all know that Gwyn has long and beautiful hair. She surely devoted her time to either style or take care of them. We all have seen stunning fanarts of Az touching her hair/ tiying it up
So here are my headcons about her hair:
Gwyn has to have some hair bands or ribbons that she would tame her hair.
I imagine her throwing her accessories around the House as they are easy to lose (I swear I have to buy them every month, they just disappear)
What if one day Azriel found some of them? I believe that he would think about Nesta or Cassian, but ribbons are rather Gwyn's thing
So he would just take it and swear to return it to her, but he would forget about it since he was called on another mission or something
After a few months I believe he would have a nice collection of those accessories, just because (I'm sure shadow babies would help him to differentiate between her and Cassian's. Imagine Azriel just picking which ones are Gwyn's and leaving the rest).
What if he heard Gwyn talking to Nesta about how tiresome is acquiring new ribbons since she loses previous ones.
So Azriel got the idea for the perfect gift for her for Solstice (or her birthday if she told him). He would spend hours just trying to pick colors and textures. We all know his gifts are allegedly the best so I believe he would take this task seriously. With the help of his shadows he picked the most suitable ones, in appropriate colors so everybody would know they're hers.
I wrote a previous post about his hands and this is my Roman Empire, if he would feel them.
He wrapped them nicely and left them in her room. I'm certain he wouldn't want others to know it was from him, as being in the center of attention is not his thing. And perhaps it's the same for others, that's why he wanted to do it in private.
Okay and now imagine them being in a relationship:
Both of them would wear her accessories in either their pockets or wrists
Just in case she needed some
It would be hilarious to see the Spymaster, in the middle of a training and Gwyn just searching through his pockets (do their leathers even have some?) and taking out her ribbon.
Maybe even his shadows would bring her one.
Imagine if Cassian tried to take one, he wouldn't even manage to touch Azriel's hand 😭 I believe he would be quite protective of Gwyn's possezsions
I have this beautiful fanart in my head, where Az was styling her hair in a pony tail.
He would want to learn how to braid her hair, even the simplest braids. It would be a sign of him taking care of him, his love language maybe.
And again, it would be a journey for both of them: Gwyn letting a man touch her without seeing him (he would be behind her), and Azriel learning to love his hands (my eyes sweat when I think about it)
I've read some of the stories where Azriel would admire her hair. There is even one modern au Gwynriel one shot where he actually had her hairband on his wrists (it was absolutely cute tho).

hey, i want to get into writing but like idk how 😭 like how would i even start it off, how to finish, how to write smut? yk but i wanted to ask u bcs ur so good at it, so maybe u could help😋😋, perfectly okay if u don’t 😭
Hey! Thank you so much :').
I'm flattered that you're even asking me this question.
I honestly have no specific way of writing! (not that I'm aware of at least). I kind of feel like my writing is forever changing. When I wrote 'neteyam's first rut' (first post) I had the idea in my head for like days. One night I was like 'I literally can't keep this in my head any longer'. So I wrote it out, in no specific way/style of writing and did a quick proofread and decided:
"hey, why not post this shit? lol people probably won't even see it. and then i won't have this filthy smut in my hard drive for people to find when i'm dead (not even joking, this was literally what was going through my head.)"
But since I feel like my writing has changed a bit, hopefully not too drastically or out of character. Of course I've also gotten a little more comfortable on this site, too. :)
My experience with writing goes back to high school and university. I majored in a 'soft science', as they like to call it. Did tons and tons of research papers (way too fucking many to give it a number). So all I can really say about that is the more you write the easier it becomes - kind of like a muscle memory? Eventually it just flows out of you. Also reading. Reading helps ya know, the more you read the more you're exposed to other styles of writing, vocabulary, the whole shabang. Like @lovemyavatar, I love her style of writing, literally obsessed (and she knows it, hehe.)
I'd say write when you're motivated, inspired - driven. Or else it'll kind of dull the sparkle and take the fun out of it (wasn't fun writing any of those papers). So when an idea pops up, just go for it. Don't even think about grammar, vocabulary, etc. Just get that shit out of your system. You can always go back, fix any errors, and change things up - switch out a word with another, rephrase a sentence (or a paragraph or two), change up the plot - whatever you see fit. If I'm mid-washing the dishes and I get an idea I'll stop and make a quick voice note or a note in my phone.
As for starting and finishing, hmm. These are good questions, because I kind of feel like there's no standard or set way to start or finish literature. It all depends on what you're writing about and what your intentions are with it. What are you trying to portray? How do you want the reader to feel? What tense do you want to write in/most appropriate? What's your plot, if any? Where does it take place? What tone of voice do you want to use? How do you plan to differentiate the characters? I like to imagine the character's voice in my head actually saying the phase, or ask myself if Neteyam/Lo'ak would really say this.
For example I did a double POV for the first time, and when researching about it the article said "...you should be able to flip to a random page, read a couple sentences, and know which character is speaking." Which is so true. So I tried to keep that in mind, and focus on the characters development and make their voices more distinct.
I read a Lo'ak one-shot on here and a lot of people (including me) wanted a part two - I'm assuming so we could get some sort of closure/feel better/happy ending. But, the authors intention was to portray him in a dark light - to hurt the reader so to speak. So well-written and I really love their other work, too.
As for smut 👀. I'm honestly still new to this so I'm learning as I go. I love to consume smut so that has definitely helped - seeing other people and what terms and vocabulary they use. Overall, I just try to be very descriptive, so that the reader can really immerse themselves into the scene and feel what their character is supposed to be feeling. I try not to go overboard with the words though, because that can take away from it at times. For example, I wrote about a fight scene with Neteyam and Auzo (in 'with my life') and I kept it short and simple - "He throws a punch to his jaw, knocking him off his feet." type of shit.
I also do some research (lool thought I was done with the research life). My google searches are riddled with "synonym for..." "how to describe [this action] in writing". No shame in doing your research. There are a few blogs on this site that actually help out in regards to basic knowledge of coitus, cunnilingus, fellatio etc. as well as other sites, too! They list descriptive words, alternatives to 'she said' (lool i eat those up), other do's and don'ts.
And of course, I do some research about the na'vi. I try to make it somewhat realistic, especially with the fic I posted 'with my life' (longest one to date). I did some deep digging on their website about the 'first blood' ritual, and just other simple information about the flora and fauna of the planet.
This is my favourite source of information for smut.
Out of all the sources I've read, this is the best one so far. If I'm ever in a stump, or I feel like I need a better fitting word - I'll refer to this. This author also includes some really good points about sex, down to first times, anal - the whole works.
This is my favourite source of information for avatar.
I hope this helped somewhat and that I was able to answer your question! If you do get into writing, and you do decide to post it, I'd love to read it.
Sorry this is kind of lengthy, I have an issue with overwriting, and overall just talking too much. lmao

by popular demand, here are some Certified Cyan Facts:
Probably fell in love with planes around the same time Ingo and Emmet fell in love with trains! He and Ingo agreed on most stuff before that, so it was the earliest sign of them being separate people.
Favored by their parents over Ingo and hated every minute of it.
Didn’t show himself to Drayden for weeks after he took what he thought were just twins in, before Emmet gently prompted him to come out and introduce himself. You can trust him! He is verrry nice.
Took the name Cyan around the age of 13, in order to further differentiate himself from Ingo. Ingo protested that he should be the one picking out a new name since he came second, but Cyan wouldn’t hear it.
His theme color is blue, obviously.
He actually did try both battling and Pokemon contests in the early days of their Pokemon journey! Never really picked up the same love for battling as his brothers, and contests were fun, but he liked watching them more than participating in them. He is just not a competitive person.
Elesa actually met Cyan first, so she was very confused when on her second run in with him when she heard Emmet call him Ingo. She quickly learned about the whole two person thing, but didn’t learn until the Zorua part until later.
It took Ingo and Cyan’s Pokemon a little while to get used to the whole two people, one body thing- except for Litwick, who recognized there were two souls in there right away.
Early on, Drayden pulled some strings and was able to create separate records for Cyan so that they officially existed at least on paper as regular triplets.
His default speaking voice is actual fairly quiet, though he can get just as loud as Ingo if necessary. Never stops being monotone though.
Loves tinkering with stuff, and apprenticed in a mechanics shop as an older teen on through adulthood.
Feels calmer when he’s wearing his goggles, but usually wears them on his head. If he’s actually wearing them for their intended use, is a pretty clear sign that he needs to be left alone because he’s trying to work through some anxiety. He’ll be fine shortly!
(Ingo always has a spare pair of on him, just in case they abruptly shift over for some reason, and he needs them.)
Using plane lingo just as much as Ingo and Emmet use train lingo. They cannot be stopped.
He met Skyla through Elesa, and they hit it off right away and spent several hours just talking about planes. Emmet finally understands what he and Ingo look like to everyone around them when they’re discussing trains.
He was the one to tell Skyla about the whole ‘two people’ thing, since they were friends and all. She was very understanding! The Zoroark part she also learned later.
Cyan: You should really just confess to Elesa, she would love to date you.
Skyla: oh gosh, noooo I couldn’t, it would be so embarrassing if she didn’t feel the same way!
Ingo: you should confess to Skyla, I think she likely feels the same way.
Elesa: I don’t know... I don’t wanna mess things up if she doesn’t.
(both of them are screaming)
Skydives and bungee jumps as a hobby. It drives Ingo nuts, but he won’t stop him because he at least knows he’ll do all the appropriate safety checks first. He’s an adrenaline junkie, basically.
loves his Ducklett and Psyduck very much. They follow him everywhere. He will acquire a Quaxly one day. It is his destiny.

How To Make A Custom Tattoo Design Stencil
Whenever a web designer gets a design project, he or she will require to take a pace back and see the research process so that you can complete the vocation. The research process is a tedious process, it determines how well, and successful will the results of your web engineering. Ideas for web design will reveal to you how to use up that research process smoothly and obtain results. OA website development is greater just being user friendly. If you're going for a usable design the your simple going for average. Put Nba Incl Update 6 Codex to detail help make it exceed. Another nifty feature to be able to access to when make use of the application to design a t-shirt is the distress design. These effects are useful for changing the design and style of your design. Couple of the options include marble, newsprint, film grain, and static. A logo must be easy don't forget. Good logo design should stick in the viewer's mind, and sometimes associated with the brand name in difficulty. Simplicity and appropriateness can contribute for this. Nba Incl Update 6 Repack discovered that design was becoming quite a part of my day, thinking regarding what new things i needed to learn, what new products I could learn to design and generally, what creative projects I could get stuck into. My occupation during those times was a school teacher you should also anyone who's been in teaching, you will know that it's just a lot of hard work that needs 100% decision. If your hearts not in it, then don't do this as your not doing anyone any favours, especially your . After returning to work and due to my new perspective, my eyes started open noting a few things that gave us a clearer regarding what teaching was about nowadays in secondary education for the teacher. Many budding web designers are not surprisingly self-taught. Should you be reading this and have not had an elegant design lesson in your life, of course mean anyone could have to abandon your fantasy of becoming an online designer. Academic qualifications should a degree (excuse the pun) taken a back seat preferring hands on skills. Custom web is now a diverse industry providing a number of specific jobs which can are employed in. From creative director to artworker, will be a job that's great for you. Speak with other designers; expand education and develop developing your creativity. Attempt not to forget generally you possibly be asked to work within a team, so hone your communication skills as nicely. You have to have a personal style. Without you, you will get lots within the hundreds of graphic design students that might be applying for similar jobs you are! A good way to differentiate yourself would be brand your true self. Brand your portfolio, your e-mails, your resume and cover letter and your social media presence. Consistency across each of them. One popular design seen for men fond of science-fiction and literature can be a copper-gold or gold ring engraved with the letterings utilised in "Lord belonging to the Rings". In Nba Incl Update 6 CK keys Free , there a number of pop culture themes possess been been adapted to visitors bands nowadays. Having such fantasy kind rings may not appeal many women, even so they are becoming popular each morning circuit of adults your mid 20's and wanting something unique to commemorate their love. In this way, you choose a marriage ring design that your guy will love even after twenty years have gone by!

"BTS-Only = Racist?" anon here.
I think it's a fair question. Cultural appropriation is a thing. Taking bits and pieces from a culture that are popular and then disregarding the rest. Miley Cyrus saying she invented twerking when it had been part of the black community for decades. Corn rows being a protective hairstyle for centuries, but a white women had them in an 80's movie and now all those black women are copying her.
So, people claiming BTS but not other kpop groups, could be a red flag. It's not always, obviously you're interested in the Korean aspects of their lives, watching their award shows, learning about the perilla leaf thing, etc. But there's some people who just want them to sing more English songs. Do more English interviews. Try to distance them from their Korean roots. Take the parts they like (their voices, their dance moves, their style) and push back on their origins.
It's the "you're pretty for a black girl" people. The "you're not like those [insert minority]" people. See where "BTS isn't like other kpop groups" could be read similarly? I'm not sure I would consider those people fans. Like Tkkrs disregarding things the boys say themselves, some BTS-Only people could be disregarding that aspect of their lives.
You're not like that, you care about them. I see that from your blog and our conversation. But yeah, that was what I was trying to say before. I absolutely think it's possible for someone to claim to be a fan of a foreign artist and still be racist towards them.
I understand what you are saying. But sometimes it is important to differentiate between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. Many times the former is confused with the latter although it is also true that nowadays it is sometimes a bit difficult to know the latter is the real intention. I digress. Regarding the first part of your second paragraph. Isn't that taking it to extremes? Why assume that a person who only likes bts (I don't want to use the word claim) and not another Korean group is bad? I'll sound like a broken record but for me, that comes down to personal taste and yes there will be cases that won't be like that but, are we so fucked up that we always have to think the worst first? I imagine that there are people, locals, who like bts for their music and nothing else and are not interested in other groups, that's possible. Casual fans I think they are called. Regarding the second part of your second paragraph, I understand what you are saying. A lot of people like BTS but they don't like that they sing in Korean, here I think the argument that many people want to strip them a bit of their Koreanness fits. I like your art but let's make it more western, I guess we can sum it up. I remember we had discussions about this here on the blog when bts released butter and PTD. Regarding your third paragraph, I partly understand what you are saying but I go back to what I said before, why assume the negative right off the bat? I do think bts is not like other K-pop groups, I think the resentment from other fandom is partly because of that. I think the success of bts is because of that but that doesn't translate into them being less Korean or behaving like less Korean or looking like less Korean. To me, that translates into their music, their art IS different. And for me personally, it's obvious. Different doesn't always have to have a negative connotation. I think it's wrong to assume that all the examples you give are basically the same. Context is important. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I don't think it's healthy to assume that it always is. That's a bit depressing, don't you think? I think we have read too much into this whole discussion. The discussion started because of something a multi fan said and I assume many who think that way are too, so I imagine the background of that thought is that BTS is not the best and that there are other groups that deserve at least the same, that bts has.
Having said all that, the last thing you said is definitely possible. That's why I've never understood why when a white person is being racist they say "but a lot of my friends are black!" As if that immediately shields them from being racist against other pocs.

oh god, is it episode seven already?
i think these are gonna be a bit shorter again just because there's a little less to talk about compared to the full performance, but let's be real i write waaaaaaay too much for my regular reviews anyways so i think it evens out. very glad to finally see the dance stages, it feels like its been a million years since we first found out about them. really liked two of the stages and was a bit iffy about the third, but i'll take two out of three!
brave girls + loona
hands down my fave of the ep, and i'm sure no one is surprised. monika blew the choreo out of the water and just as i expected she went for choreographing something that maximized impact but was still appropriate for everyone's skill levels and not just for flash. again like with swf i wish mnet actually knew how to film dance properly but alas i do not think they will learn. love love love the red accessories on the costumes and doing the post filter on the camera to really make them pop, absolutely phenomenal choice and adds an additional dimension to the stage that (literally) gives it depth when it goes to full colour. i'm really digging this big white light grid that they've done in a couple of stages now, i think it works really well as a shorthand for bars/lasers etc and it fills up the height of that stage really effectively. in general this is a very well lit stage; they didn't overuse the red wash so there's very good contrast even though there's really only black/white/red in the palette. also very good mitigation of the black on black of the costumes and stage by using fog to pick up the light; it works really well in that flash to red at the second chorus. also in this case i think the disappearing limbs actually works to fit the theme of noir cat burglar, it gives the choreo a mysterious quality because sometimes you can't quite tell what's happening and of course it hides a multitude of sins. normally i'm up in arms about this kind of thing but in this case it feels very intentional and i respect that. also loved how the backup dancers were slightly more flashy in their costuming? a very interesting choice but i think it fit with the theme.
hyolyn + wjsn
i love a good use of uv light and neon! and i liked that they were the only group to use the full stage. the opening image was fantastic and excellent choice to use contortionists (this is the second year in a row for contortionists and uv light, funnily enough). the mini cropped puffers are very cute and i liked the colour coordinating but i think they should have toned down the lighting a bit more to pop the costumes. unlike the previous stage they really did overuse red and it made it had to differentiate the idols from the dancers. i think it would have been less overwhelming if they had stuck to uv/dark light and white, with maybe some green and blue to make the red and pink of the two wjsn girls pop. as an aside hyolyn looks fantastic in highlighter green. the first time i watched the stage when the backup dancers come in with the short ropes and swing them around i genuinely had trouble figuring out what was happening and i thought all of the dancers were contortionists, which i'm pretty sure was intentional and it worked very well as an image. this was definitely the most involved stage with the most dancers and props, and while i don't think it all took away from the performance noticably, they could have pared down in a few places to make the stage look a bit more streamlined. the lighting was easily the worst offender though. oh and i really like the choreo, it's very well thought out in terms of space and formation and travelling, but i'm not at all surprised about that, since rian and simeez both danced with taemin for ngda.
viviz + kepler
i feel like i literally just had this conversation but the fact that the youngest kepler girl in this group is just barely eighteen is like. hmm. wouldn't have chosen this song or choreo! i'm not totally surprised since honey j is a fairly provocative dancer but even besides that point, there are the two groups with the least powerful stage presence. so giving them this type of 'hard' choreo that really relies on presence to sell it felt a bit like they got shot in the foot. are you a proud independant type? i can't tell you're giving me absolutely nothing. technically they performed the choreography well but the performance itself feels very flat because they are not bringing anything to the table. i think this was also the weakest choreographically for me? there were a couple of holes and formation changes that like someone forgot where they were supposed to be rather than intention. the costume are fine, no complaints there, but i do think the lighting was unnecessarily busy. i liked the green/blue/magenta combo and it works for the contrasts in the lyrics, but all the flashing additions and the lasers (why is it always the lasers with kepler. why. this is like the third time!!) made the stage visually confusing for a performance that was specifically meant to be about the choreography.
---
twitter tells me the final rankings from the unit round were:
brave girls
wjsn
hyolyn
loona
viviz
kepler
and you know what? FUCKING FINALLY BRAVE GIRLS AT THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS THEY DESERVE!!!!!!! finally a ranking that i agree with (for the most part) and most importantly a ranking that acknowledges how good brave girls are!!!!!!!!!!!!!! victory tastes so fucking sweet. i'm not sure if people are totally safe from being eliminated because i think there's one round left before the finale and i don't really remember the rules but i'm taking the wins where i can get em. personally i would have ranked them brave girls -> hyolyn -> wjsn -> loona -> viviz -> kepler but i will accept that final ranking. for once.

The internet is a wonderful thing. For instance, it just told me I might have had a mild form of cluster headaches for the past like 5 years or more. You know just a poorly understood non-curable weird fucking bitch of a headache that only occurs behind one of your eyes at a time (it can switch whenever the fuck it wants). In fact I'm lucky it's so mild because most people can get woken up from sleep from the sheer pain. Symptoms also include a runny nose and tear production in the affected eye as well as popping blood vessels etc. Most cases last between iirc 15 minute to three hour intervals and happen on and off for a couple of months, before a period of calm for like half a year, at which point you can again look forward to a month or more of random half hour on average pain akin to someone taking a fucking spoon to your eye.
Well like I said I'm lucky enough that this shit's been written off before as "staring at the screen too much" or "just another headache", I guess I'll have this looked at eventually. I mean I'd really rather fucking kill myself than visit a doctor of any kind but we'll see if it gets any worse after idk a decade or something then I might go. Presently it's not any worse at keeping me awake than my own thoughts anyway. In fact I prefer this bitch behind my eye to the shit that usually keeps me awake. How do I explain to the doctor that I want the headache to persist so I don't start thinking about giving up on life and becoming a hobo or just straight up starving myself to death? I mean I'm not depressed enough to actually manage it since I still can't last more than a day (I forget sometimes ok) but it's amusing in a very morbid way to think about the face people would make were I, a known glutton, to die of starvation.
Anyway this shifted quite suddenly from headache to depression and suicide so to get the one person I can think of actually seeing this an appropriate counterweight to this stupid bombshell, lemme tell a funny story.
So for context my mom used to know fuck all English - she studied German instead, more or less - so when a gaggle of Indians show up to her grocery store looking to by lunch she kind of struggles to give them options; they do end up deciding to get sandwiches, but now they have to pick an appropriate salami. Mom can barely fucking differentiate the meats in English much less explain the dumbass intricacies of the various brands, so she just does what she knows - she starts listing meats. So there's pig, there's chicken... And there's cow. Apparently the fellas were so appalled one or two of them started immediately praying. All of this, by the way, was a few days after the same group came in the store and demanded the clerks learn Indian, at which point my mom managed to string together something that, according to her, amounts to perfectly saying "You came to live and work here and don't know our language, and now you demand we speak yours?" after which some kind of manager that showed up with the workers blushed and agreed with the sentiment.

Ramon y Cajal's "Advice for the Young Investigator" (Chapter 1)
youtube
Catholic workers with peace do want to know what's going on with a lot....uhm the vaccine....the addicts around Catholic workers are much worse and weirder then priorly so Poirot the vaccine people feel they create a foreign....so I think peace has to prosecute peace to themselves though
Because the study is just stupid that way...if people are stabbed with potent or pungent things that could cause birth deformities can it cause
Its this list London does give us of wrongs to lost boys and if it's illegal that's exactly what bmw wants to do so
Soft white underbelly they know that serial killers are people not allowed women's time....they can't appropriately and successfully be around women....their not being allowed feminine inclusion and they know European emigration brings us technological advance in medicine....and yet vaccines
Descartes....women to them created silage and artificially created God....so to them women are a Sistine Michaelangelo God ...and they may continue atrocities
He as a naval officer his women for his homo genetic project could successfully complete missions.....so those though
Most beautiful....medicine though warned people to not stimulate homo genetics sexually......do not stimulate....instead most beautiful
Hispanic culture here was very peaceful though.....so innoculations in catholicism beautiful questions answered many hundreds of years ago...
Its catholicism passions and sacrifice and mechthilde of magdenburg....beautiful though beautiful
New York's....feel they can create history of atrocity that has nothing to do with my temperament and We The People....I'm sorry but muslims are not out to kill the Trinity truth is the real issue is a little too much disinterest in communication
Its the complete ignorance of fact like indigenous people want my land truth is I don't care for and am really indifferent to indigenous culture and feel that from them about white areas sometimes it's would they buy that
I as white am suppose to help with non western housing and if I had to practice negativities like that from dark areas I would be called a racist
You just want to be like aunt jemima jerk
I would have to be called a jerk if I tried things that non western so
There are a few things from dark areas I can want to practice otherwise youth issue is said so
The bluest eye.....black peoples have always had forms of sanitation from miasmas.......that I would find very very invasive metals.....and I probably could learn differential diet but I just don't want to be called many birth mother typologies
I just don't find it my pathology and life becomes necessities so
It's all these speculative histories till I have had to be threatened so many times as some homeless woman only Facebook type legislation is desired because she just sees it's face and pushes the button uhm no disappear these creations are just so revolting
Because it's study was statistical they wanted to know if dictators start because of quantified assault if it's my homeless internment I have to hear verbal abuse slander and threats at least three times a day and experience a perp step up at me at least every time I eat
These addicts are just so weird I would ask an Israeli about it and never bother Palestinians with it but
That's me about what they will get in trouble for doing to churches they know they should ask an Israeli and they know prior sects in these church palaces hate being bothered by stuff that weird and they keep holding their meals at churches
They already know a lot of the science and Jewish military has these things and they keep going around churches

Infant | Infant brain development | Mental development activities
Infant, According to current research, this is how your newborn baby perceives the world, a collection of blurred images, dull colors, sounds, and muted sensations.
Tumblr media
So how can you communicate with a person completely disconnected from the visible world and find appropriate treatment?
This is today's topic. We will provide ways and methods through which you can developmental activities for infants' mental skills.
I will also show you some easy and fun ways to stimulate and communicate with your 0-3-month-old newborn.
Not only do these activities encourage your little one's brain development, but they will also provide opportunities to communicate and learn about the world together. So let's jump in and learn it.
Stimulation to help their brains grow and adapt
Now we will present some fun ways to play with your newborn baby:
First game for your infant
Facetime
One of the easiest and perhaps most important ways to communicate with your newborn is to offer him some time through your face.
This means getting close to your newborn and letting him study your face.
The latest studies show that children begin to recognize faces and differentiate between them long before they can distinguish between different shapes or patterns in their environment.
They can focus on parts of faces near them. By allowing your newborn to study your face, he not only gets to know you but also begins to emulate parts of his brain associated with his visual experience and perceptual ability.
This also helps him later become able to differentiate between relevant social information such as feelings.
Babies as young as a few days old can begin to imitate some of your facial expressions as well, so one fun game is to approach your infant and stick out your tongue repeatedly and slowly, and they should start doing that.
Stick his tongue out at you when he starts to get a little older. You can also imitate his sounds and facial expressions again, and maybe laugh.
Second game method
Acquire spatial awareness
Another important aspect of an infant's development is the acquisition of spatial awareness. You can encourage this by allowing your child to stretch out on a blanket.
Give them uninterrupted time to get to know and study their hands and how their arms and legs move.
This helps them develop the neural pathways needed for controlled movements, learn about spatial concepts such as distance, and may even play a role in their athletic abilities later in life, so give your child time to stretch.
Third game method
Talk to your infant
Another fun way to play with a newborn is to tell them about your day, show them different rooms in your house, talk to them about what you are doing or what they see, and let them listen in on your phone calls.
All of these activities have been proven to increase the newborn's IQ and range of vocabulary as he or she grows older age.
You can also encourage development in your newborn's language center by initiating conversations where you give the newborn time to respond to your question.

Tumblr media
Fourth game method
Sign with the infant
Another way to urge communication is to start signing with your newborn.
The newborn stage is an excellent time to introduce sign language for repetitive activities such as changing a diaper or feeding.
Signs are amazing tools that ultimately allow your newborn to communicate with you long before he can speak.
Start practicing now At around five weeks old, your infant will go through his first developmental leap and will start to notice contrast and shadows, so give him time to study them when you meet them around you.
Fifth game method for your infant
Making black-and-white games
Going back to the example of newborn vision, it's easy to see why many newborn toys have a high-contrast black-and-white image. Even with more blurry vision, you can still choose a high-contrast image. 
If you don't have one you can also make black-and-white newborn toys by using a card or piece of paper and coloring a black-and-white picture on it, or you can print it online. Studying these types of pictures encourages your child's mind.
Development in many areas can also be used to encourage visual tracking as it is very interesting for your newborn.
Sixth game method
Shadow puppets game
Here's another high-contrast game your infant will love. Shine a flashlight on the wall in a dark room make shadow puppets and watch them, your baby's eyes light up too.

Seventh method
Make the infant smile
Around the fifth or sixth week, your baby will begin to show his first social smile, so make sure you do everything you can to make your baby smile his last smile at your antics around this time.
The eighth method
Listening to music
Your baby can also pick up on different types of music, so it's a good idea to put some music in the background and let them listen to it while they lie down.
Or maybe even take your child and go dancing around the living room or in your kitchen, as he enjoys this activity.
Ninth method
Patterns study 
After a few weeks, your baby will begin to recognize patterns, so make sure you give plenty of time to study the different patterns you encounter throughout your day.
The tenth method for infant
Encourage your newborn to catch
Another skill that appears around the seventh or eighth week is the ability to catch and hold on to the toy he loves.
You can encourage this behavior by offering your child a small rattle, or some small teething rings, as they provide a unique texture and are easy and lightweight for the child to hold on to as well.
After this mental leap, your baby will begin to recognize different facial shapes, so back to giving them plenty of face-to-face time, make sure you make some exaggerated expressions and give them time to study your face.
The eleventh method
Encouraging the sense of touch
It is important to note that infants learn a lot about their environment through the sense of touch, and you can encourage this learning and growth by offering your child lots of unique sensory experiences throughout their day.
One of the sensory games that the newborn will love very much is raising and lowering a mask and blanket on and off his face.
He can also drop it on his stomach so he can feel the different weights of the blanket. Sometimes I pass it on his face. He thinks this game is really fun.
Another way to provide your newborn with some sensory experiences is to simply get some different unique items from your home and let your child understand them or show them.
The twelfth method
Encouraging the sense of smell
The other day, bring a lemon, scratch it, and allow your child to smell its strong scent.
Move it in front of his nose, right and left. You will notice that he moves his neck right and left with the scent. You can repeat it as a wonderful habit.
The thirteenth method for infant
Encouraging the sense of touch
There are children's books that contain pictures of different fabrics and textures, and they are great because they not only give you a chance to read to your child but also give them lots of different textures that they can try, and it's all been put together for you.
Those first three months are full of change. Your baby's brain will be growing at a rapid rate and will become more alert by the day and seem to be growing literally before your eyes. While the days are a blur of naps, feedings, and diaper changes, I hope you find some time to play with your baby.
I wanted to point out that when you are playing with your child, make sure that you are looking for signs that indicate that this is not the case. If they are sneezing, looking away from you, yawning, or closing their eyes, these are all signs that they may be over-stimulated or over-stressed and that they are. They are not in the mood to play well.
So I hope you enjoyed this video on how to play with your 0-3 month-old baby.

Grogu wasn’t on the bridge of the Razor Crest when his dad was telling the Frog lady about pirates and stuff like that. He’d heard the lecture at a different time and place. It was like the school of how to be a Mandalorian bounty hunter really focused on skills related to the martial arts and not so much on the skills related to the conversational arts. 
If they had, they might have considered teaching their bounty hunters to sound less dire and confusing. Pirates or war lords? Was there really a difference? They were both taking illegal actions that put your life in jeopardy and parted you from your goods and chattels. They were bad people. Or thieves. Why not call them that? 
Something like “There are people who may try to steal the ship and harm us. We need to be careful.” That message provided essentially the same information but it toned down the drama. You want people to pay attention and be able to take appropriate action, but fainting in their seat is hardly ever appropriate and isn’t the action that makes anyone safer. 
Also, what the heck is ‘a chunk of change’? Grogu was baffled when he heard that part of the lecture. He knew what change was. That wasn’t the problem. But how did you measure out a chunk of it? Why would you even want a chunk of it? Change was all about making something different or moving position or replacing stuff. How could you even do that as a ‘chunk’?
Of course, if Grogu just accepted the phrase at face value, then he wanted that Mandalorian bounty hunter’s school to make a chunk of change in how they taught their lessons. They could start by focusing on communication skills, and while it was clear that they would need to continue to support the martial arts because bounties weren’t set for people who didn’t do bad things and then run away, they could also include other skills, like language arts, to teach their hunters how to communicate more effectively to a broader range of people. From what Niebla (the Frog lady) had told Grogu when he went to visit her and her partner, fewer and fewer people in the galaxy spoke Huttese. It would have been easier to communicate with the Mandalorian if he’d learned Twi’lek or Rodian, even Zabrak. 
Grogu commented that it also would have made things better if they had a protocol droid that could translate for them. Niebla agreed, although she understood why anyone would prefer to avoid their unrelenting boorishness. Grogu recalled the few protocol droids that he had met and nodded his head. She was right. You couldn’t teach a Mandalorian how to get along with droids and mechs better by exposing them to the ones focused on protocol. Those things would always end up cold. 
Which was another good course to offer at the Mandalorian School for Bounty Hunters in Training, how to detect and differentiate between friend and foe. The Mandalorian seemed to treat both groups the same until they reached a stalemate. If the other person stopped trying to hurt him then they must be a friend. If they kept on trying then they must be an enemy. Grogu was pretty sure that wasn’t the best way to determine whether or not someone was a friend and foes always gave themselves away by doing something bad or evil or annoying. 
And you had to consider that some people just vacillated between friend and foe. Greef Karga had been like that. Being nice some of the time and then selling them out to save himself. That felt very much like the sort of thing a pirate would do or a war lord. Din Djarin had said Greef was under a lot of pressure. Peli Motto said politicians were all like that and nobody got the title of High Magistrate without being a politician. Grogu hoped that he never became a high magistrate on that basis, but he did consider that it explained a lot about Bo-Katan and she was known for taking other people’s ships. 
That reminded Grogu of an old Jedi saying, ‘Don’t worry about the Sith in the fog, worry about the one walking next to you.’ Of course, that was as bad as a ‘chunk of change’, because Grogu walked next to a lot of people and only one of them had turned out to be Sith. But that one didn’t really count either. He had told his friend Ian not to dress up like that for Life Day because no one would think it was funny. Grogu was right. Master Yoda didn’t find it funny at all and Ian spent the rest of Life Day writing out ‘A Sith dress up as a joke, I will not’. Maybe Master Yoda needed to take that bounty hunters communication class too?

Best ISO Certifications in India
/ Uncategorized / By Factocert Mysore
Tumblr media
ISO Certification in India
ISO Certification in India with the company has achieved compliance with one of the internationally recognized ISO Certification management systems by being approved by an external organization. Additionally, this certificate is used as proof of a company’s credibility and gives prospects confidence that promises will be kept. This blog relies heavily on ISO-certified bodies.
We refer to an ISO certification body as a competent registrar authorized to issue management systems after an audit.
Qualifications are assigned to individuals with proven proficiency in particular occupations, jobs, or parts of them. Finding the right ISO certification body can be very challenging, whether you are an individual or an organization. Those who certify bodies must meet the following requirements before being declared officers:
She completed the project with 100% success.
Bring competent auditors into the organization.
Verifiers should cover all areas of the industry.
Auditing is a best practice.
What criteria should be considered when selecting an ISO certification body in India?
As prices are undoubtedly the most significant factor, you should ask a few certification bodies for proposals and consider what should be accomplished. Price, however, is not the only factor to consider; we should also consider the following:
An attractive brand name
When using an ISO for commercial purposes, only obtain it from an organization known to provide criteria. Select a certified body with a strong reputation.
Accreditation
Can someone give you a certificate saying you are ISO 27001 certified or any other standard? However, you need help to give a certificate. In this case, you must verify that this certification body is accredited and licensed by the appropriate governmental body.
Specialization
Hiring a certification body that primarily certifies manufacturers is not a wise idea. This auditor may have significant business continuity experience. He can only explain the bank’s functioning if he’s auditing manufacturing companies. Due to this, he will learn a lot from you.
The integrated audit
The ISO 27001 standard may have been your starting point. However, if you plan on applying ISO 22301, ISO 9001, and other standards, you can request an audit.
As a result, you won’t have to audit each system separately, but one audit will cover them all. From there, you will not only be able to save time, but you will also be able to pay less.
Flexibility
If the body has to fly in the auditor from any other country, it will be very difficult for you to change the audit date. All our travel preparations have already been done.
Languages.
If needed, the ISO Certification organization may provide a translator. Conversely, the audit will be better if the auditor speaks English. It will read all your material much easier, and you can develop a better relationship with it without language issues.
Benefits of selecting an accredited ISO certification organization in India
This gives you the confidence to get a service that satisfies your requirements.
A chance to win new business because accredited conformity assessment services are increasingly required by prescribers in both the public and private sectors;
You can access international markets through accredited ISO certification bodies because their certificates are recognized and accepted worldwide.
It helps identify best practices, as the certifying body needs to know your industry to provide appropriate certification.
It controls costs through knowledge transfer; accredited bodies can source impartial advice.
It also provides market differentiation & leadership in demonstrating credible evidence of exemplary practice for others.
He also exercises due diligence in legal actions.
Last but not least, it reduces red tape & increases efficiency by decreasing your company’s need for a re-audit.

Influencer Marketing in the New Age of Generative AI
Tumblr media
The implications of AI are all anyone is talking about these days — and for good reason. It could impact jobs, production, scalability, and create any number of potential innovations and abominations. While Acorn Influence, a New Engen company, is embracing and exploring many aspects of generative AI, we must do our due diligence to prepare for what AI-generated creators would mean for our industry and operations—specifically, concerns surrounding the legal ramifications of what is defined as proprietary in the world of influence, and whether AI “influencers” will become the norm.
Regarding the legal aspects, we've already seen rumblings of this with artists suing AI tech for "learning" from their specific artistic styles. But who's to say that the AI wouldn't be "learning" from the influencers who are top performers on social media? What, if anything, is proprietary about how they gained their influence, and how will the creators protect their brands?
In social media, the issue of attribution is one daily fought. We often see the appropriation of style, jokes, music, and dance across TikTok and Instagram, most notably with creators of color who are not credited when white influencers perform their viral dances. It’s a real paradox. The purpose of viral content is to be shared, re-shared, manipulated, and imitated across the Internet. That’s how you reach success, which is all well and good until someone else starts to profit from it. As we speak, Jerry Media is suing seven brands for using photoshopped versions of content produced by their popular meme account @dudewithsign. As AI continues to fuel controversy, the future fate of who owns the rights to “influence” new artistic creations will most likely be decided in court, but the opacity of what defines sampling versus stealing will be difficult to enforce.
This isn’t the first time these ethical conundrums have been raised. CGI or "virtual" influencers have been around since at least 2016, even earlier if you consider anime and video game characters that have crossed into mainstream content. But, because these AI influencers are rooted in technology that borrows from real life, they have also faced backlash. For instance, AI rap influencer FN Meka was lambasted as "digital blackface," not only because his creators were two white men but because they used his character to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Or take the incredibly cringeworthy case of virtual influencer Lil Miquela, who, in an attempt to seem more human, posted a vlog in which she described being sexually assaulted in a rideshare - a video that was both shortsighted and wildly offensive. Brands should take heed that even with fictional people — the creators behind the levers will still be under scrutiny.
Companies will likely continue experimenting with AI “influencers,” but what differentiates this AI-generated content from any other branded content made in a production studio? This is where we see the real division — we can certainly see the cost-savings involved with AI-generated clothing models and brand ads, but the holy grail for any influencer agency is to broker deals between brands and people who are real brand advocates. While AI can certainly create content that looks real and imitates human behaviors, these outputs are fundamentally at odds with the ethos of influencer marketing. Influencer marketing is grounded in its authenticity and the connections people feel to the creator as a real person. That's when the secret sauce, so to speak, is made. While the bastardization of influencer marketing is a constant struggle for creators looking to give an honest review rather than make a quick buck, we at Acorn will continue to champion authenticity as long as there remains a desire for it. And judging by the size of the creator economy and the investments in the industry, this is not a phase - but we wouldn't be surprised if AI influencers were.

Best Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Dress
Tumblr media
A wedding dress or bridal gown is the dress worn by the bride during a wedding ceremony. The color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture of the wedding participants.
8 Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Dress
1) Set a Budget: Figure out how much you want to spend, and tell the salesperson before she starts bringing out gowns. That way you won't lose your heart to a dress you can't afford. Typically, a wedding ensemble, including veil, undergarments, and any other accessories, accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the total wedding cost. Factor in extras, such as alterations—which can add a few hundred or a few thousand dollars depending on how involved they are—and shipping fees. Once the dress arrives, it may require professional pressing or steaming, which can tack on a hundred dollars or more.
Read More about long sleeve wedding dress.
2) Location: Knowing the place and time of your wedding will help focus your search. Will you be having a daytime ceremony on the beach? You can rule out ball gowns with long trains and dramatic embellishments. Exchanging vows in a candlelit cathedral? Avoid short slip dresses or anything that looks like it could be worn to a cocktail party. Most fabrics are suitable year-round, but some, like linen and organdy, are more appropriate for warm weather, while velvet and brocade are best left for winter.
3) Start Early: Begin shopping six to nine months before your wedding. It takes about four months for a manufacturer to make a dress and another two months to complete the alterations. Very elaborate gowns will take longer. Short on time? Many shops do rush orders for an additional fee, but your choices will likely be limited. They also may have a sale section with samples you can buy off the rack. If you're lucky, you can get one that needs just minor alterations.
4) Do Your Research: It's not every day you see terms such as basque waist or Watteau train or try to differentiate between three shades of white. Pore over bridal magazines, books, and websites to learn about fabrics, silhouettes, and the lexicon so you can better convey what you're looking for. Start a folder with pictures of dresses or details that appeal to you, and take it with you when you shop.
5) Bring Backup: Take anything you know you want to wear, such as a special necklace or your grandmother's veil. Boutiques will often provide bustiers, strapless bras, and shoes, but you may want to bring your own. You'll also need the advice of a few trusted confidantes, but not too many: An opinionated entourage can be confusing and frustrating. Invite one or two people who know your taste, will be honest with you, and whose judgment you trust.
6) Find a Dress for Less: You don't have to spend a million bucks to get the perfect gown. Besides having sale racks, many salons hold big sales once or twice a year to clear out "gently worn" or discontinued samples (usually in sizes 6, 8, or 10). To find out when these are, call stores, go to designers' websites, and sign up for mailing lists. Also register for trunk shows, where designers debut new lines. Sometimes boutiques offer discounts if you buy on the show day.
7) Keep an Open Mind: This is the mantra repeated over and over by bridal consultants. So take their advice, even if what they urge you to try on doesn't seem like your style. Some dresses don't look like much on the hanger but look great on. On the other hand, never let yourself be talked into purchasing a gown you're not in love with.
8) Focus on Fit, Not Size: Bridalwear often runs smaller than ready-to-wear; if you normally buy an 8, you may need a 12. So forget the numbers and don't insist on a smaller size because you intend to lose weight before the wedding—order the one that fits now. A gown is easy to take in, but difficult and costly to let out.

Readerly Exploration #1. Due January 16, 2023.
Brighton, et. al. (2015), “Advanced Readers in Reading First Classrooms Who Was Really “Left Behind”? Considerations for the Field of Gifted Education”
Big Takeaway: Brighton explains that below grade-level and on grade-level readers are being taught at the same reading instructional level as above grade-level readers. As a result, the advanced readers reading development is being negatively impacted and the students may lose focus, motivation, and/or interest in school.
Nugget: Teachers need differentiated instruction in order to meet the academic needs of each student. Tomlinson (2003) says that in order to proactively address the readiness, interest, and learning profile of a student the following should be employed: (a) clear learning goals should inform the differentiated tasks in which students engage, (b) all tasks should be appropriately respectful in terms of challenge and perception (e.g., to have some students engage in tasks that are rote and low level while other students are engaging in novel, complex tasks is a violation of the respectfulness principle). (c) assessment should be an ongoing consideration in the differentiated classroom (i.e., data should be thoughtfully collected to drive the instructional process at all stages and should inform resources, pace, and groupings), and (d) purposeful flexible grouping mechanisms should be employed to ensure that all students are considered from multiple vantage points and not limited by one dimension of their academic profile.
This information is important to know so your students can best benefit from your instructions and stay on task and not left behind in their reading development.
Tompkins, Chapter 3, “Assessing Literacy Development”
Big Takeaway: Tompkins clearly states the difference between assessing and evaluating. An assessment is formative and ongoing. It provides immediate feedback that's used to improve teaching and is usually based on student literacy activities. An evaluation is summative, final, and usually at end of unit/school year and is often a test.
Nugget: There are four steps to assessments. The first step is planning which is done at same time as instruction planning. Think about students' learning, their teaching, what assessment tools they'll use. The second step is monitoring student progress: Observations, anecdotal notes, conferences, checklists. The next step is evaluating students' learning: Students' work samples, rubrics, multimodal assessments (look at many ways students participate in reading/writing). Lastly, reflecting: Teachers and students can both reflect.
______________________________________________________________
Readerly Habit: Read texts deeply in order to interpret, critique, and analyze the various layers of meaning a text might offer a reader.
Explorations of Practice: Learn something about the author of the assigned course reading(s) and use that to draw conclusions about the motivation behind the reading or the credibility/quality of the writing.
After researching Catherine M. Brighton, I learned she has lots of experience in the educational field. The biggest thing is she is a teacher and because of this she has seen the problem of advanced readers getting left behind first hand. She has also been apart of the American Educational Research Association since 2000, giving her an opportunity to spend time reading and learning about the issue of students being "left behind". I can concluded that because Brighton is an educator, she saw an issue in the educational program and began to do research to try and see the reasoning behind it. I can also conclude that her findings are accurate because she is apart of the educational research association.
Readerly Exploration: My experience was helpful in that I can say confidently I learned more about differentiated instruction and it's importance and can confirm the accuracy of the article based on the credibility of the author. I first read the two readings, then I went back and did research on Brighton which widened my knowledge about her as an educator. The easiest part was the readings because I found them interesting. The hardest part was finding information of Brighton that applied to the readerly exploration. To my surprise, I learned how to better implement differentiated instruction in the classroom to benefit students who are above grade-level in reading.
Tumblr media
This is a screenshot of the first page of all the information I learned about Catherine M. Brighton on. It was very informative!
