note: My depression has been hitting so hard lately. I will re-edit tomorrow, I’m exhausted and can’t double check tonight. I love Min Yoongi, I will backflip for him. In all honesty, when Yoongi did his first live since being gone for a while, I ugly sobbed over my iPad. I missed him so much and the thought of him leaving shook me to my core lmao. Though I’m overdramatic, I am a proud military wife for 3 so far of 7 husbands. Enjoy the one shot and feel free to submit requests to the link in my bio, and listen to some of my playlists also in the bio. I will post Ramo Buchón and this story on Ao3 next week. -dubu
I stood in the dimly lit record store, surrounded by rows upon rows of vinyl records, each a portal to a different musical era. I held in my hand the debit card my thoughtful boyfriend, Yoongi, had given me to use this afternoon. He had gifted me a beautiful scarlet record player, and now I was on a mission to fill it with music.
The store was a treasure trove of musical history. Rows of records stretched out in every direction, organized meticulously by genre and artist. I traced my fingers along the spines, feeling the nostalgia emanating from each one. Rock, jazz, classical, pop – it was all there, waiting to be explored.
My indecisiveness was palpable as I contemplated my choices. I would pick up one vinyl, then another, carefully examining the album artwork and reading the tracklist. Yoongi had given me complete freedom to choose, and I wanted to make sure every selection was perfect.
In the midst of my contemplation, my thoughts drifted to Yoongi. I couldn't help but smile as I remembered the way he had surprised me with the record player earlier. It was clear that he knew just how much I loved music like him, and he wanted to share that passion with me.
As I continued browsing, my eyes suddenly lit up when I spotted the records I had been searching for. There, among the vast collection, were albums by Queen, Mac Miller, Lee Moonsae, and Diana Ross – artists whose music had shaped my life. I felt a rush of excitement as I reached for each of them, holding them close as if they were precious treasures.
With a heart full of gratitude for Yoongi's thoughtful gift and a bag full of vinyl records, I headed to the checkout counter. I knew that each record I had chosen would be a soundtrack to special moments shared with Yoongi, and that made the indecisiveness and the joy of discovery all the more worthwhile.
My collection is finally growing again and I’m so grateful to him. I checked out quickly, holding a brief conversation with the nice blue-haired woman at the counter. Thanking god for the half empty store, I stepped out into the cold air. I called a taxi on my phone and waited the everlasting 10 minutes as I nearly froze in place.
The sleek navy-blue car pulled in front of the little store, a middle aged man stepping out of the drivers side to open the door for me. I thanked him as he grabbed my bag and set it in the trunk for me. The short drive back to our apartment was quiet, the hum of NPR coming from the radio piercing the silence. The heater blowing directly at me.
We pulled up to the tall building hurrying so I can escape the cold air. I grabbed my bag from the man and tipped him extra for his generosity and service. I scanned into the building making my way to the elevators past the front desk. After I exited the elevators I grew more excited to see Yoongi. I skipped happily to our door, putting in the key code.
I’m greeted by the smell of air freshener and our puppy running up to me. Excitedly licking my hand and wagging his tail. I closed the door setting my bag on the small table near it and then taking off my shoes.
“Hi baby!” I said cheerfully looking at Yoongi as he walked over to me. He grabbed my waist and placed a kiss on my check, making his way down to my neck. Resting his head on my shoulder as he held me. I felt like putty in his palm, moving to grab his face and plant a kiss on his lips.
He hummed into the kiss, letting his hands sneak around my waist to my ass. I giggled and pushed him away immediately, missing the feeling of his hands on me already. He pained a hurt expression and I gave him a knowing look. He was supposed to be packing but the laundry basket I left him to sort through seemed to be almost untouched as it sat idle by our sofa.
“Min Yoongi why is your laundry still folded neatly in that basket?” I questioned pointing to his clothes and resting a hand on my hip. “I needed a break,” he said nonchalantly, walking to go sit back on the sofa. He was precious but we have things to do and I can’t let his cuteness distract me. I grabbed my shopping bag from the table and walked over to Yoongi, sitting on his lap so I could show him the merchandise.
“Let me show you what I bought and then I’ll go start on dinner while you actually pack,” I said smiling at the way he rested his hands on my thighs. I took the vinyls out of the bag, setting the first two on the sofa cushion next to us.
“First I got this classic Diana Ross record, but I can’t hold in my excitement anymore!” I said grabbing the Mac Miller record and handing it to Yoongi. I watched as his eyes light up in excitement. “I know I was supposed to be shopping for me but I couldn’t help myself.” I said starting to tear up. I didn’t want to cry but the emotions are hitting hard, Yoongi leaves in a few days.
“Thank you so much baby I love it,” he said setting the record aside to kiss me softly. Yoongi sighed as he stared down at me on his lap. I noticed the worry in his eyes and sat up placing a hand on his cheek. “Are you okay my love?” I probed gently.
“It’s just…I can’t help but worry about leaving you alone again while I go on tour. Your depression and anxiety, I’m afraid they might worsen, and I won’t be there to help you when you need me the most,” Yoongi said staring deeply into my glossy eyes.
I smiled warmly at his confession, cupping his face in my hands. “Min Yoongi, it’s so easy to see why your parents named you light. You’ve helped me through so much already, you are my light. I’ve learned so much from you about handling my emotions, and even on my worst days, just a phone call with you can calm me down. I’ll be okay baby, I promise,” I choked out.
Yoongi looked at me for a second, seemingly analyzing me. He nodded slowly pulling me into a tight hug. “I know you’ve grown stronger, but I can’t help but worry. You mean the world to me Y/N,” he said as I buried my face in his neck.
“And you mean the world to me too, Yoongi. We’ll get through this together, just like we always do.” I said hugging him tighter. We stayed in our embrace for a while, finding comfort in each others presence. Eventually I break the hug and get up to go make dinner, while Yoongi starts to sort through his laundry basket.
“I guess I’ll actually start getting my things in order,” he mumbled to himself with a huff. He stood up flinging open his suitcases, and throwing in a few items he eyeballed. I giggled at how unenthusiastic he was being.
“I’ll help you pack after dinner Yoongs, you know I have to double check and make sure you have everything you’ll need.” I said busying myself at the stove. After I mixed the pasta, I told Yoongi to set the table while I change and I’d be right back.
I retreated to our bedroom, eager to change into my comfortable pajamas. As I shed my days attire and donned my soft, oversized pjs, my eyes involuntarily drifted to the prominent scars that crisscrossed my body, momentos of a harrowing time that altered my life.
A wave of sadness washed over me, recalling the challenges in my journey to recovery. Moments of doubt crept in, but just as I was about to get lost in my melancholic thoughts, I heard Yoongi’s voice gently calling me from the dining area.
“Babe come on I’m hungry and your food smells too good,” he whined cutely as I walked into the dining room. I placed some pasta in his plate and sat in the chair across from him, unconsciously tugging at the short sleeves on my shirt, hoping he wouldn’t notice.
Yoongi hummed in delight at the taste of the cream pasta, and I quietly chewed along. It didn’t take long for us to finish our meal, I stood up making my way to the sink, grabbing the dishes from the table. I started washing dishes, mindlessly humming one of Yoongi’s songs.
“Why’re you so quiet tonight sweetheart?” Yoongi questioned as he walked up behind me. I felt his hands wrap around my waist, he then pulled me flush against him. “Talk to me Y/N,” he said in my ear, leaving a soft lingering kiss behind.
“I’m sorry I just don’t feel the best, honestly, I feel like a burden. All these ugly scars already make me feel less than, but the thought of me holding you back from doing what you love pains me the most, Yoongi,” I said nervously, melting into his embrace.
Suddenly Yoongi unraveled his arms, reaching around me to turn the faucet off. I turned around to face him, confusion flooding my features. He gently placed his hands on my face, searching my eyes for an unknown answer.
“Will you let me show you how much I love you Y/N?” He asked. I nodded slowly, bringing my hand up to touch his that rested on my cheek. He leaned down to place a kiss on my lips, hovering close after he pulled apart.
We walked hand in hand to the bedroom, closing the door behind us. Yoongi guided me over to our bed, helping me up onto the tall mattress. He climbed onto the bed, gently pushing me to lay down flat on my back.
“With every piece of clothing I remove from your body, I’ll leave a trace of me behind. You deserve to know how gorgeous you are Y/N, how utterly irresistible and perfect you are. Every piece of you that you view as an imperfection, I view as another reason to love you.” Yoongi said removing his black shirt from his toned figure.
He removed his shorts, carelessly tossing them to some shadow realm. He looped his fingers under my, formally his, oversized shirt, pulling it over my head in one swift motion.
He stared at my exposed chest for a second, eyes flickering back to mine every so often. He then leaned down, placing a trail of kisses down my neck, and stopping when he reached my collar bone.
He started leaving behind love bites, sucking and licking at the quick forming bruises. I hissed in pleasure as his tongue felt like pure ecstasy, sighing at the way he took my nipple into his mouth.
He looked up at me through hooded eyes, staring at me intensely as he massaged and sucked my breasts. I moaned his name quietly, wrapping my legs around his torso as he moved his attention to the other side.
He made his way down my exposed front, leaving no inch of skin without a trace of his love, or tongue. He moved further down the bed, hooking his fingers under the band of my flower covered panties.
His eyes never left my face, he smirked as I watch him in anticipation. Stomach quickly rising and falling with every nervous breath. He pulled them down my legs painfully slow, I shivered as the cold air hit my exposed clit. He’s barely touched me and I’m already a soaking mess.
He placed a kiss on my left hip bone, massaging the right one with a free hand. He kissed his way down until he hovered over my center, watching the way my eyes drank in his sinful appearance. I could feel the warmth of his breath hitting my core, causing an accidental whine to escape my pouty lips.
He let out a breathy chuckle before placing a kiss on my clit. That earned another moan from me as well as a tight grip on the rappers long hair. He sat up suddenly, receiving a look of disappointment from me. “I can’t wait any longer pumpkin, I need to fill you up like the good girl you are. Gonna make you cry for a much better reason than before.” Yoongi said tossing his boxers to the side and rubbing his length against my pussy, I squirmed in anticipation.
I felt his tip probe at my entrance, his length slowly being engulfed into the hot, soft cavern. I gasped at the intrusion, squeezing Yoongi’s arm as he began to move slowly. With every thrust I clenched harder, scratching down his back as he loving fucked me into oblivion.
“I can never get enough of you princess,” Yoongi grunted out as he sped up his rhythmic movements. “This is my pussy baby you’re mine, all mine, and no one else’s.” He growled eyes darkening with pleasure.
“hmfp I…I’m all yours Yoongi all yours please please fuck me just like that,” I stuttered out, crying as my body grew sore with the force of Yoongi’s hips slamming into mine. I enjoyed every second of this painful pleasure, yanking him by the neck down to my mouth. Lewd noises echoed through our apartment, a melody of wet sounds and heavy breathing reverberating off the walls of our bedroom.
I screamed in pleasure as Yoongi reached down and started furiously rubbing my swollen clit. “Fuck down on me Y/N, let the neighbors hear all those pretty noises you make. Tell me how much you love this dick baby it’s all yours,” he said hotly leaving a trail of wet kisses down my neck.
“It’s mine oh f…fuck Yoongi I can’t take it, I want you to cum inside me please. N…need you to fill me up so I can fully be yours,” I choked out in between sobs. Before I could react the bed shook with extreme force, Yoongi unbelievably fucking me deeper, lifting my hips off the bed and squeezing my bruised hips.
I felt his dick pulsate inside me, indicating he was just as close as I was. “Fuck…cum with me baby,” he grunted out head rolling back in pleasure as his pace slowed. I felt his warm cum shoot inside me, I shook furiously hips spazzing as Yoongi gently set me down. He wiped my tears as I exhaustedly went limp, too tired to get another word out.
“I hope you know I’m going to think about this all the time while I’m gone,” Yoongi said grabbing some water from his bedside table to give to me. I mustered the courage to sit up and graciously take the water, passing him the rest after I finished. He leaned over and placed another kiss on my lips, holding me in his arms as he quietly talked me into a restful sleep.
Yoongi stood by the door, his bags packed and ready for the waiting vehicle outside. I watched him, my eyes brimming with emotions as he turned to face me.
“Y/N, I wish I didn’t have to leave without you, but I know how important your work is to you. I promise I’ll try to call you everyday, no matter the time difference,” he said softly.
“I know Yoongs, but I’m going to miss you so so much,” I said voice quivering as I struggled to keep my composure. My body shook with sadness, shoulders slouching in defeat. Yoongi cupped my face in his hands and gently wiped away my tears.
“Hey look at me, beautiful. I want you to know that no matter where I am, my heart is always with you. If you ever need anything, if you’re feeling down, just call me and I’ll answer in a heartbeat. I would fly across the country in seconds to get to you my love. I might not say it enough, but you mean everything to me Y/N there is no me without you. You’re my inspiration, my strength, and my love.” He confessed, his eyes holding a depth of emotion he often struggled to express.
“I love you too Yoongi, more than words can say,” I said while sniffling. Yoongi smiled at me through glossy eyes, clearly trying to hold it together for me. “Actions speak volumes, right? I’ll prove it to you everyday I’m away. This tour won’t change how I feel about you, and it damn sure won’t change us.” He said pulling me into another tight embrace. A car horn could be heard impatiently honking in the background.
“Goodbye my love,” I said smiling through my tears.
“It’s never goodbye, I’ll always see you again darling.”

Nebula | Spencer Reid x Reader Platonic
WC: 2701
A/N: When I first wrote Galaxy I intended for it to be a oneshot, but I can’t get enough of the dynamic between Spencer and Reader. This is part 3 to Galaxy and Supernova, though you don’t really have to read them to understand what’s going on.
GALAXY MASTERLIST
Warnings: SPOILERS FOR 12x13 (Spencer), mentions of drug use
For the first time since you joined the Bureau, you didn’t want to go. It was selfish, but you didn’t want to go because you didn’t think you could handle seeing him. Nonetheless, you knew if roles were reversed he wouldn’t hesitate to be there for you so you pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and stepped onto the jet anyways.
The rest of the team knew it wasn’t going to be easy for you. It wasn’t easy for them either, but there was a cosmic connection between you and Doctor Spencer Reid that they all knew made this exponentially more difficult for you.
Emily didn’t complain when you stayed impossibly close to her on the jet, eyes cast downward in silence while you listened to them strategize. Rossi kept providing you snacks to eat while on the flight to Mexico, compassionately reminding you that you needed it to keep your strength up whenever there was a lull in conversation. Luke kept careful eyes on your tells, ready to step in if you showed any increased signs of anxiety. He wasn’t as good at noticing them as Spencer was, having worked with you for significantly less time, but the Army veteran had picked up on your lingering military traumas early on in his employment with the team and had been there for you especially when Spencer took time off to care for his mom.
They needed you, and more importantly Spencer needed you, so they were going to do everything they could to keep you in one piece until they could figure out what had happened in Mexico.
Emily took charge when you stepped into the police precinct, commandeering the officers in a way only Emily Prentiss could. You followed Luke to the holding cell, and that’s when you saw him.
Spencer’s eyes slowly met yours and you could immediately tell something was off. Luke started talking to him, and you watched as Spencer struggled to remember your colleague. You were too scared to ask Spencer if he remembered you. Seeing your best friend so out of it terrified you. Spencer Reid was the sharpest person you knew, this dishevelment was uncharacteristic and you felt yourself having a hard time believing the man on the other side of the bars was your favorite doctor.
Luke’s phone ringing pulled you back into the present. You weren’t going to be of any help to anyone, especially Spencer, if you were catatonic. Instead of standing safely on the shore, you had to let yourself get caught in the riptide and pulled into this mess.
“Spencer,” you spoke for the first time since Emily had broke the news to the group of you that morning. You could tell the drugs were making it hard for him to focus, “Spencer, listen to me.”
“(y/n),” he rasped. He remembered you.
“Hey, I trust you,” even in his inebriated state, you both felt the weight of your words.
“(y/n),” he repeated. You knew he understood. When Luke came back he had some revelations from Garcia and the rest of the team back in Quantico. Even though Spencer denied wanting company while the other agents went to check out the motel and the whereabouts of Nadie Ramos, you stayed with him.
You sat on the floor with your back against the wall, watching your best friend carefully. The concrete wasn’t comfortable by any means, but you were not going to let anything else harm the man who was so close yet so far away. You received a lot of strange looks from the passing officers, but you didn’t move. Even when your phone rang, you stayed put.
“JJ,” you answered quietly, watching Spencer’s even breathing as he slept on the bench in the cell.
“How are you holding up?
“I’m… not, but I can deal with it later. Spencer is our priority right now,” you weren’t sure if you were reminding her or yourself.
“How is he?”
“Sleeping for now, hopefully sobering up. This is gut-wrenching. He told me about what happened with Tobias Hankel… I can’t even imagine what it was like for him then. How is Diana?”
“She’s stable, I checked in with her earlier. Cassie’s taking good care of her, you don’t have to worry.”
“Will you keep checking in with her until I get back and let me know if anything changes? Whatever he was doing down here has to do with her, I just need to figure out what it was. I wish he would have told me,” you gritted your teeth.
“That was going to be my next question. You didn’t know about any of this?”
“I knew he was traveling to talk to doctors. He’s been doing it for a few months now, I would spend extra time with Diana while he was gone. I always asked about his trips, nothing he told me ever raised a red flag, though. It was always ‘Met with this doctor, talked about that clinical trial, got this new medication to try.’ I should have known…”
“I’ve been saying the same thing. I don’t know how I missed it, or why he wouldn’t tell us,” you could hear the desperation in her voice.
“We’re going to figure it out. We have to figure it out. We’re getting him out of here,” you told her. You weren’t sure how convinced JJ was at your words but she accepted them anyways, bidding you goodbye when Garcia pulled her into some new information on their end of the case.
“Who was that?” you almost missed the gravely words from Spencer’s mouth when you took the phone away from your ear.
“It was JJ,” you told him.
“Are you going to ask me more questions? I still can’t… can’t remember.” Your heart broke.
“I’m not here to ask you questions, Spence. I’m here to make sure you’re safe.”
“Because you trust me.”
“Because I trust you,” you repeated. He was quiet again until the sun came up, and Emily, Rossi and Luke returned from the motel. Emily pulled you to the side when they showed up, though you wouldn’t let her take you anywhere where you couldn’t have eyes on Spencer.
“That motel room was a mess,” she told you honestly. You had spoken with her on the phone earlier, so you knew most of the finer details.
“It doesn’t look good for him, does it?”
“On the surface, no. The Mexican authorities have everything they need to lock him up, but if we can find something that proves Scratch is framing him we’ll have a better chance.”
You crossed your arms and shifted your weight, mind reeling with possibilities.
When Inspector Casteneda let you into the holding cell shortly after, you planted yourself at Spencer’s side and did not move. Just being in closer proximity to the doctor helped you feel better. Your friendship had never been very touchy-feely, you and Spencer both having reasons that you preferred to limit your physical contact, so the comfort that you found was merely by presence. You always had a clearer head when Spencer was close by, and this was no exception.
You kept your mouth shut while the other agents and Casteneda discussed Spencer’s tox screen and the possibilities of a cognitive interview. When Casteneda pulled out the vials, you watched the first glimpse of memory cross your friend’s face. You tensed, waiting to step in if you needed to.
“Whatever’s in those vials, I was giving it to my mom. That’s the only thing I’m sure of.”
“You can use any of the rooms down the hall,” Casteneda pointed before leaving your little group of agents alone.
“I don’t think a cognitive is a good idea,” you finally spoke, stepping in front of Spencer defensively to stop him from following Emily.
“Why not?” she turned back to you. You were acutely aware of Rossi and Luke watching the exchange.
You glanced over your shoulder at Spencer, who was gazing at you with red-rimmed eyes.
“Your head isn’t clear enough yet.”
“I can still try,” he piped up from behind you. Emily raised her eyebrows, questioning how far you were going to fight this.
“I don’t want him accidentally implicating himself while there are still drugs in his system that could structure false memories.”
“With all the time he’s missing, that might happen anyways. This cognitive could give us some important information, just as much as it might give us false. We don’t have a lot of time, (y/n),” Emily was firm.
From a profiling standpoint, she was right. Any time was precious time, and Spencer had definitely come down enough to form more coherent thoughts. Your role in this case was not that of a profiler, though. It was like you had told Spencer a few hours prior, you were there to make sure he was safe, that whoever did this to him didn’t come back, and that he didn’t go to prison. You trusted that he didn’t commit the crimes he was facing, and you weren’t going to let him being doped up change that.
“I trust you,” Spencer spoke again, blinking slowly. You looked at Emily pointedly, “but I want to do the cognitive.”
“Spencer,” you pleaded. Letting your emotions come into play wouldn’t work with Emily but there was a chance you could get through with them to Spencer. You stared at each other intensely, none of your other colleagues daring to say a word.
Choosing to do a cognitive was something a coherent, clearheaded Spencer would do, you reasoned. As much as you still believed in your gut that he wasn’t ready, you trusted him.
“Let me do the interview,” you tried.
“No,” every agent in the room spoke at the same time, even Spencer. That was how you found yourself sitting on the floor again, this time outside of the room Emily was interviewing Spencer in.
Luke and Rossi came to stand protectively next to you. You knew they were keeping something from you, but you didn’t dare ask what. You were too busy staring down the man guarding the door. Screw international relations, you were ready to start a war with the entire country of Mexico for their wrongful arrest of Spencer.
Luke exchanged a few words in Spanish with the guard, before nudging you with his foot.
“What?”
“Take a breath, (y/n). He just asked me if you bite. If looks could kill you’d have murdered everyone in this precinct already.”
“Even if I did, they’d probably arrest Spencer and blame him for it,” you grumbled. Before either of the men could say anything, Emily stepped out of the interview room. She spoke quickly to the guard, who went inside. You were on your feet as soon as Emily shut the door. Luke grabbed your elbow as Emily told you about the cognitive, though you didn’t understand why until he spoke.
“They just charged Reid with the murder of Nadie Ramos.”
You thought your knees were going to give out. You would have been back on the floor if Luke hadn’t had a firm grip on your arm. Emily spoke some more, but your entire focus was on the door in front of you. Slowly it opened, the guard escorting Spencer back to the holding cell.
“I’m going with him,” you said, tearing your arm away from Luke and pushing past the other agents. Inspector Casteneda tried to stop you from entering the holding cell, but you put your foot down.
“I’ve been around more killers with him than I have with you. If he tries to kill me, so be it, maybe you’ll actually have something to charge him for,” you stepped past the man and plunked down on a bench facing Spencer.
“Is my mom ok?”
“Yeah, JJ’s keeping tabs on her. She’s safe. How’s your head?”
“Getting clearer, I think.”
“Good,” you whispered, settling into silence.
Emily didn’t look fazed when she saw you sitting in the cell with Spencer. She had Matt and Clara with her, and between them and Garcia you were somehow able to establish concurrent jurisdiction over Spencer’s case. Still, you had to watch them handcuff your best friend and start walking him away while Emily was on the phone. Finally she hung up.
“They’re taking it to their brass. Go get him,” she looked at you and Luke. You raced after him, letting Luke do the talking once you caught up to the officers. Saving Spencer from going to a maximum security prison was the highest priority right now, your beef with the Mexican police wouldn’t do you any good in remedying that.
Things moved quickly once Emily had made the proper phone calls, but you didn’t feel yourself start to relax until you were seated safely next to Spencer on the jet couch.
He reached over, taking your hand in his own and moving his fingers up to your wrist, starting to fidget with the bracelet you always wore.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you,” his voice was soft, meant only for you.
“I wish you had, Spence. I really do, but there’s nothing we can do to change that now. We just have to fight until we figure out what’s going on,” you leaned closer to him, resting your head on his shoulder, “I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help down there.”
“I’m on my way home, aren’t I?”
“No thanks to me. If I had acted how I wanted, we’d both be on our way to El Diablo right now,” you joked half-heartedly.
“You’re the only person I’d want to go to jail with,” he joked back.
“I don’t know, your odds might be better if you picked Prentiss. She got beat up by a cult leader for you, that’s hardcore.”
“She also faked her own death, who’s to say she wouldn’t do it again as an escape plan? You wouldn’t leave me,” while this kind of banter was normal for the two of you, it felt weird discussing theoretical jail when prison was a very real possibility for the man sitting next to you.
“I won’t leave you. Ever. No matter what, you’re stuck with me,” you reminded him.
“Even if I’m in prison for the rest of my life?”
“You’re not going to be in prison for the rest of your life,” you grumbled, “but even if you were, I wouldn’t miss a visiting day. You can’t get rid of me that easily, Spence.”
“I know,” he whispered, “how do you think this is going to end?”
“Best case, we get a tip-top legal team and you’re acquitted before there’s even speculation of you going to prison,” your confidence was evident.
“And worst case?”
“I don’t want to think about that.”
“I want to know, (y/n). I trust you,” he wasn’t going to let you off the hook that easily.
You sighed, “you were framed for everything illegal that happened in Mexico. I have no doubts about that, never had, never will. Worst case, we can’t prove it and you serve a full sentence because of it.”
“You will prove it though.”
“If anyone can do it, it’s us. Honestly, I think it’ll fall somewhere in the middle. Even with the best of the best legal team, there’s still a lot of uncertainty about what happened. It might take time to put all of the pieces together.”
“I appreciate your honesty,” Spencer’s voice dropped even quieter, “everyone else is walking on eggshells around me.”
“To be fair, you were pretty heavily drugged when we first got down there. And the jeans? It was like looking at a stranger, you weren’t yourself.”
“You don’t like the jeans?” you could tell he was teasing to try to lighten the mood.
“I really don’t. The first thing I’m doing when we get back home is finding you some Pretty Boy pants.”
“Of all of the priorities you could have,” he laughed.
“You’re the only you we’ve got, Spencer. Prison, drugs, Mexico, Alzheimer’s, I’m not letting anything take quintessential you away from us, even if it means getting you a new pair of pants.”

12 Conseils Pour les Femmes qui Veulent prendre pendant la Grossesse
Pendant la grossesse, beaucoup de préoccupations qui viennent immédiatement à l’esprit dans la santé de la femme et du bien-être de votre bébé, le nourrir, préparer la maison pour l’arrivée de l’enfant, et l’achat de vêtements et de la literie, et apprendre à prendre soin de lui un être si petit dans les premiers jours de la vie, et dans la plupart des beaucoup d’autres choses. Et entre toutes ces choses qui occupent l’esprit de la future mère, une question qui peut se poser est par rapport à la pratique et à la course, surtout si il ou elle est une personne qui se soucie et a toujours soigné dans la forme appropriée.
Serait-il possible de continuer à faire une activité, comme la course, pendant la période de grossesse? Si oui, comment qu’elle devrait aller à ce sujet? Vous en saurez plus dans notre liste ci-dessous:
1. Parlez-en à votre médecin
Avant de prendre toute décision à l’égard de l’inclusion ou de la poursuite de la course est dans une routine au cours de votre grossesse, il est essentiel de parler avec votre médecin que vous prenez soin de la grossesse. Comme chaque femme est différente et a un autre corps qui réagit différemment à la grossesse, il est essentiel de savoir à coup sûr si c’est le type d’activité physique n’entraîne pas de problèmes, et si elle ne peut pas être fait, quelles précautions doivent être prises.
“Certaines des femmes-qu’ils exécutent régulièrement ou pas, vous pouvez continuer avec la course, vous ne pouvez pas être à l’aise, même mal à l’aise”, explique l’entraîneur personnel et fondateur du centre de remise en forme spécialisé dans les femmes enceintes, découvrez la Zeil.
En outre, une discussion en profondeur, et de dire le médecin, c’est la meilleure façon de vous assurer que vous sélectionnez un entraînement pour une course qui n’bien pour la future mère et le bébé.
2. Considérez que c’est un voyage
Pour ceux qui n’ont jamais eu l’habitude de courir, au moment de la grossesse est le moment idéal pour vous de commencer à faire ce type d’exercice. Selon le chef du service médical du centre de santé de la reproduction aux États-unis, Diana Ramos, la grossesse n’est pas la situation convenable pour commencer, la suite est une activité complète, en tant que race, et la meilleure chose pour une femme enceinte qui n’a jamais couru dans la vie, mais aussi envie de faire un peu de type de exercice physique est la randonnée dans les montagnes.
“C’est l’un des meilleurs exercices lorsque vous êtes enceinte, il est inférieur à l’impact, et si vous n’êtes pas habitué à l’augmentation de l’impact de la course, vous devriez orienter clairement de cela. Si un défi est ce que vous cherchez, alors vous devriez essayer d’ajouter un peu de talons ou aller pour une promenade en haut de l’escalier,” dit le docteur.
3. Faites attention aux signes d’alerte
Même après que le médecin de presse pour la course, il est important pour les femmes de continuer à être à l’écoute de votre corps, si vous avez des signes, comme des crampes, des taches, de l’essoufflement, des maux et des douleurs, il devrait cesser de l’exercer et d’en informer le médecin sur le problème dès que possible.

Le plus de la mère-à-être pourriez vouloir considérer le symptôme comme quelque chose d’importance, parlez-en avec votre médecin est la meilleure façon de s’assurer qu’il n’y a pas vraiment quelque chose de mal, ou que le signe n’a rien à voir avec la course.
4. Il est temps de ralentir
Pour les femmes, qui ont déjà l’habitude de courir avant la grossesse, vous continuez avec votre pratique pendant que vous êtes enceinte, il est un bon choix pour vous, lorsque le médecin se déverrouille et s’en va avec elle, bien sûr, mais cela ne signifie pas que l’intensité de votre entraînement devrait être le même qu’avant la grossesse.
À ce stade, il n’est pas rare pour les femmes de diminuer le taux, ou de réduire le nombre de pieds ou des miles pour vos courses. “Rappelez-vous, vous êtes porteur d’un autre être humain, et que ce n’est pas une tâche facile”, a déclaré l’entraîneur personnel, découvrez à Pied.
Lorsque la course permet à la femme de se sentir fatigué ou léthargique, cela peut être un signe qu’il pourrait être trop sur l’exercice. Si c’est le cas, il est préférable de ralentir et de s’atteler à la tâche.
5. Boire beaucoup d’eau
Pour éviter la déshydratation, ce qui peut provoquer des signes de contraction, et l’accouchement prématuré, il est important de boire beaucoup d’eau pendant la course. Dans tous les cas, si la femme a des signes d’un recul de la course, la recommandation est de faire le plus de l’eau immédiatement et consulter un médecin dès que possible pour savoir comment faire.
6. La sécurité en premier lieu
Les changements dans le corps, qu’une grossesse pourrait aussi faire la course de la femme est d’être modifié. Les chemins sont aussi courts que votre ventre se développe et votre solde sera affecté. De cette façon, pour protéger le travail sécuritaire, l’une de ces lignes directrices est de choisir un endroit qui a une surface plus plane que celle d’un lieu qui a un terrain accidenté avec beaucoup de bosses et obstacles qui peuvent vous faire tomber.
“Même si vous êtes un coureur, régulier de la piste, rester sur le côté de la prudence. Sur votre itinéraire préféré, pouvez, rechercher, bien sûr, en un jour, mais sur les autres, il peut être différent. En outre, en tant que votre ventre se développe, vous ne serez pas en mesure de voir sur la piste, et l’équilibre est déjà compromise”, a déclaré Erica à Pied.
7. Accepter qu’il est différent de l’autre
Une femme peut se sentir grand, le jour de la course, et sur l’autre n’étant pas tellement envie de faire de la formation. Lorsque cela se produit, la solution est d’accepter qu’il y a des moments où le corps sera ainsi, et pas du tout dans d’autres, et d’apprendre à tirer parti des bonnes journées et la compréhension des pauvres, et de respecter ses limites.
L’entraîneur de la course, et un blogueur de Michele Gonzales est une femme qui a vécu ce type d’expérience. Elle a, par deux grossesses, elle a continué à exécuter pour eux, et a même pris part à une édition de l’Ironman triathlon triathlon, comme elle l’allaitait un de ses bébés.
“Certains jours, tout le mal, et je l’ai il n’a pas été jusqu’à la fin de mon bloc avant de m’arrêter et de revenir à la maison. Les autres jours, j’étais en pleine forme et en mesure d’exécuter pour 6,5; 9,5 ou 16 km,” dit Michael.
8. Pour être sur le téléphone
Beaucoup de gens aiment écouter de la musique sur le téléphone portable alors qu’il est en cours d’exécution, mais ce n’est pas la principale utilisation de l’appareil pour une enceinte de coureur. Il est important que vous avez votre téléphone à portée de main en cas d’urgence, ou pour elle de ressentir la moindre gêne, elle doit faire appel à son mari, un membre de la famille, ou même un combattant du feu, et de demander de l’aide.
Et, il est essentiel de toujours sortir de la maison, le téléphone est complètement chargée, vous courez le risque de la batterie et à la fin, au moment même où une urgence se produit.
9. Ne pas se contenter de la course
Lorsque vous avez une conversation avec leur fournisseur de soins de santé au sujet de la course, elle devrait lui en demander quels types d’exercices qu’il peut intégrer dans la routine alors que vous êtes enceinte. Par exemple, la formation de base des muscles dans le corps (appelé le noyau) est également important, car il contribue en ce qui concerne la stabilité de la hanche.
En général, l’exercice modéré est important pendant la grossesse. Une étude de l’espagnol publié en juin de cette année, a constaté que les femmes enceintes qui pratique une activité physique d’intensité modérée sont moins susceptibles de développer le diabète gestationnel et avoir une perte de poids.
10. D’échanger les accessoires pour la course en conformité avec les exigences du corps,
Cela ne signifie pas que les femmes enceintes doivent acheter des chaussures tous les mois de la grossesse, mais que votre corps change tout au long de la période de neuf mois, il est probable qu’elle devra utiliser un équipement différent de celui utilisé avant le un bébé dans et de lui-même.
Par exemple, si une femme n’était pas à l’aise avec les chaussures simple, quand je n’étais toujours pas enceinte, et après votre grossesse, vous ressentez de la douleur dans vos pieds ou les genoux, peut-être qu’il est temps pour elle de change de la paire d’un modèle qui permettrait de fournir une plus grande stabilité dans le mouvement.
Quand mon ventre a commencé à s’agrandir, et vous laisser dans le passé, était mal à l’aise, le médecin n’a pas interdire les courses, sortir à résoudre la situation à l’est de rendre l’utilisation d’un éventail de services de soutien pour les femmes enceintes.
“Utiliser le bas de le ventre, donne plus de soutien de votre abdomen, et il peut vous aider à continuer à exécuter confortablement”, a déclaré Erica à Pied.
11. Rien dans la course à couper le souffle
Le fait que le médecin de laisser les femmes pendant la grossesse ne signifie pas qu’il est libre de tourner autour jusqu’à ce que vous perdez votre souffle, comme s’il prenait part à un marathon ou de viser une médaille d’or olympique.
Comme nous l’avons déjà anticiper dans cet article, il est démontré qu’il va diminuer le taux, et de ne pas repousser les limites de votre corps. Cela étant dit, il y a encore nécessaire de vous inscrire en faveur de la recommandation du Congrès Américain des Obstétriciens et Gynécologues (ACOG, son sigle en anglais), il est constaté que l’intensité de la course pour la future maman à être celle dans laquelle elle sera en mesure de tenir une conversation sans être à court de souffle ou de trouver qu’il est difficile d’en parler.
12. Gardez un œil sur vos aliments
Le fait que la pratique d’une activité physique comme la course ne peut pas être utilisé comme une excuse pour les femmes enceintes de manger plus que nous le devrions. Parce que c’est l’histoire d’un repas pour deux, c’est, en fait, un mythe. “Vous n’avez pas besoin d’autant de calories chaque jour, même si vous travaillez en dehors. En fait, vous avez seulement besoin de 300 à 500 calories sur une base quotidienne. Il est plus important de se concentrer sur l’équilibre de la nutrition protéines, de fruits et de légumes pour garder les mères et les bébés en bonne santé”, dit le docteur, et Diana Ramos.
En plus de cela, il est indispensable de prêter attention aux changements qui se produisent dans la pratique de l’exercice physique. Si la fréquence est plus basse trop, il peut ne pas être nécessaire d’augmenter le nombre de calories que vous brûlez.
De toute façon, il est préférable de parler à votre médecin au sujet d’un régime alimentaire et programme d’ajustement d’un régime alimentaire sain pour la femme enceinte et de l’enfant, avec l’aide d’un professionnel.
Avez-vous l’intention de poursuivre son style de vie actif de l’exercice pendant la grossesse? Si vous portez déjà un enfant, senti la difficulté quand il a essayé de la pratique de la course? S’il vous plaît commentaire ci-dessous!

off the rack #1186
Monday, October 23, 2017
The back door lock on my X-Trail wasn't working so I had to drop it off this morning at Japan Auto to see if they can fix it. Then it was off to Costco to stock up an a few necessities. It's so nice and warm here in Ottawa that I will be able to read Charles de Lint's new book The Wind in His Heart outside.
Deadpool vs. Old Man Logan #1 - Declan Shalvey (writer) Mike Henderson (art) Lee Loughridge (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). This 5-issue mini has the two stabby heroes with healing factors teaming up to keep a new mutant from being captured by bad guys. Sure, it's a story that's already been told many times but Declan does a good job of keeping the fun factor up so I will keep reading.
Batman: The Drowned #1 - Dan Abnett (writer) Philip Tan & Tyler Kirkman (art) Dean White & Arif Prianto (colours) Tom Napolitano (letters). There's a gender swap in this Dark Nights Metal tie-in where a woman named Bryce Wayne transforms herself into an evil version of Aquaman's wife Mera. That was unexpected. I like how this issue clarifies why the bad Batpersons are doing what they're doing. It's a basic motivation and not anything new so there's still a chance that I might stop caring about this story and stop reading.
Kid Lobotomy #1 - Peter Milligan (writer) Tess Fowler (art) Lee Loughridge (colours) Aditya Bidikar (letters). If I had looked at the credits before picking this book off the racks to read I should have expected the extreme weirdness in this comic book written by Peter Milligan. I remember his stint on Shade the Changing Man and what a psychedelic ride that was. This book is loopy too and it was the art that helped me power through to the last page. If you enjoy exploring odd mindscapes you'll like this.
Thor #700 - Jason Aaron (writer) Walt Simonson & Matthew Wilson, Russell Dauterman & Matthew Wilson, Daniel Acuna, James Harren & Dave Stewart, Becky Cloonan & Dave Stewart, Das Pastoras, Chris Burnham & Ive Svorcina, Andrew MacLean & Dave Stewart, Jill Thompson, Mike del Mundo, and Olivier Coipel & Dave Stewart (art) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). This 50-page epic features Part 1 of "The Death of Thor", but which Thor? There's a lot of them. If you've never read a Thor comic book this is a great place to start. You can tell that Jason Aaron is having so much fun writing these adventures and I am one very appreciative fan. Buy this book.
Aquaman #29 - Dan Abnett (writer) Stjepan Sejic (art & colours) Steve Wands (letters). Okay, things are starting to go the good guys' way. Evil King Rath is going to get what fer.
Maestros #1 - Steve Skroce (writer & art) Dave Stewart (colours) Fonografiks (letters). Yay, Steve Skroce is back on the racks and this time he's writing his own book. I loved "We Stand On Guard" and was hoping we'd see Steve's art again soon. This fantasy book is about a young wizard who inherits the title of big kahuna wizard after his Dad is killed. I thought that Geof Darrow did the art for this after turning the first page, but nope, it's Steve just painstakingly drawing up a storm. This new comic book gets added to my "must read" list.
Champions #13 - Mark Waid (writer) Humberto Ramos (pencils) Victor Olazaba (inks) Edgar Delgado (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Part 2 of "Worlds Collide" has the Champions teaming up with the Avengers to stop the High Evolutionary from destroying the planet. Four groups scatter around the world to save lives but even though they keep the world's tallest buildings from disaster there's still plenty of danger ahead. The story continues in Avengers #673 which hits the racks on November 1.
Batman #33 - Tom King (writer) Joelle Jones (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). You gotta read this. Do you guys have a good chuckle when you get to the last page of a really good comic book because you feel happily amused and think, man I can't wait to read the rest of this story? I do. Few writers can make me do that and Tom King just got added to the list of writers that do. Some fans might not like what's going on with Batman's love life but I think it's great. Part 1 of "Rules of Engagement" has the Bat visiting an old flame and boy, is he going to get burned. Joelle "Lady Killer" Jones did a wonderful job showing the men folk back at the mansion and made my heart swoon with her rendition of Selina. I wish the word balloon person hadn't screwed up on the last page, otherwise this issue was a perfect read.
Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil #1 - Jeff Lemire (writer) David Rubin (art, colours & letters). This spin-ff of Black Hammer is worth checking out if you like that mystery about a team of old super heroes. This story focuses on their super villain enemies and follows Black Hammer's daughter as she goes searching for her father. Jeff Lemire is every bit as clever as Alan Moore at creating neat super characters when Alan was doing America's Best Comics.
Ms. Marvel #23 - G. Willow Wilson (writer) Diego Olortegui (art) Ian Herring (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). Remember the time when Kamala went to Karachi and had a team up with a hero there? Guess who's in Jersey City and attending her high school now? I'm glad Willow did the conversion to metric on the runaway train's speed. I didn't have a sense of what 25 miles per hour feels like. 40 kilometres per hour I get. This was a great way to have the two heroes commiserate while the train rolls along.
Wonder Woman #32 - James Robinson (writer) Sergio Davila (pencils) Scott Hanna & Mark Morales (inks) Romulo Fajardo Jr. (colours) Saida Temofonte (letters). I found the writing in this issue was as stilted as a bad soap opera script. I don't like how the relationship between Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor is portrayed. I hate that he calls her "angel". I will read the next issue to find out more about Diana's "brother" Jason and to see Emanuela Lupacchino drawing her first issue of this series.
Groo: Play of the Gods #4 - Sergio Aragones & Mark Evanier (writers) Sergio Aragones (art) John Ercek & Tom Luth (colours) Stan Sakai (letters). And so another great Groo mini ends. This time the last laugh was on the gods.
Superman #33 - Peter J. Tomasi & Patrick Gleason (writer) Doug Mahnke (pencils) Jaime Mendoza (inks) Wil Quintana (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). "Imperius Lex" starts here. With baby Darkseid missing, Apokalips needs a new ruler and it has chosen Lex Luthor. But Lex is a good guy now, right? Maybe he'll find a way to change the Parademons into minions. I like that Lois and Jon are in this story too.
Incredible Hulk #709 - Greg Pak (writer) Greg Land (pencils) Jay Leisten (inks) Frank D'Armata (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). "Return To Planet Hulk" starts here. Not to worry, they haven't resurrected Bruce Banner (yet). This time it's Amadeus "The Totally Awesome Hulk" Cho crash landing on the planet. There's no holding back when the kid unleashes the junk in the trunk as he battles a tribe of bad guys. All hail the Green Scar. This is a refreshing change of pace.
Super Sons #9 - Peter J. Tomasi (writer) Jorge Jimenez & Carmine Di Giandomenico (art) Alejandro Sanchez & Ivan Plascencia (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). "Planet of the Capes" ends here. I much preferred the art of Jorge Jimenez over that of Carmine Di Giandomenico. Carmine's kids don't look like kids.
Wonder Woman Conan #2 - Gail Simone (writer) Aaron Lopresti (pencils) Matt Ryan (inks) Wendy Broome (colours) Saida Temofonte (letters). There's a #MeToo moment in this issue that I found was unnecessary that made me feel disappointed because this is written by a woman. The crew threatening Diana that way wasn't needed for Conan to be any more protective than he already was. I wondered if it was put in just to titillate male readers or to point out that most men are scum. I did like how the crow girls dealt with the wine besotted pervert in the stands though.
Invincible Iron Man #593 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Stefano Caselli & Alex Maleev (art) Marte Gracia & Alex Maleev (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). "The Search for Tony Stark" starts here. Get everything you need to know to start reading this series. It's the rebirth of one of Marvel's iconic super heroes so join us long time shellhead fans and buckle up for a wild ride.

I love that Costa Rica is a small country so you can go anywhere in just a couple of hours. I absolutely love the nature here, as you can see in my illustrations, and animals are my favorite topic. I am currently trying to work on illustrations with animals that you can find specifically in Costa Rica.

Character Design Challenge: African Tribe
Going camping to national parks has had a huge impact on my work. I also think the love for nature which my family taught me ever since I was a child has been the biggest influence on my art.

Daniela Ramos Solís
Next up is Daniela, an inspiring graphic designer based in San José, Costa Rica. Inspired by nature and the wonders of daily life, she creates lovely illustrations of simple moments.

A Regular Sunday - Un Domingo Cualquiera
I think that the weather is one of my favorite things in Costa Rica. During the whole year, you'll need just a light sweater and an umbrella, because even if it's a sunny day, at any moment it can rain!
I live in San José, which is the capital of the country, but in spite of that, it's still a small city where you can have a quiet life and a house with a backyard. I like the food, the flowering trees at the beginning of the year, and oh, I also love that in a couple of hours you can travel from the beach to the mountains, and from the rain forests to a volcano!
A Regular Sunday - Un Domingo Cualquiera
Souvenir Beach Towels
My parents were born in the countryside and they often tell me their childhood stories of growing up in the middle of the forest or picking up coffee in a coffee plantation. Those experiences made them appreciate the simple details of nature, and they passed that sensibility to me. I learned to appreciate the small details of nature and to marvel at them.
So, every day, even without knowing, I find myself staring at the mountains, and watching the colors and shapes of them. Besides that, I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by art, as my father is a sculptor. In every corner of my parents' house, there's a sculpture, a painting, or a ceramic piece, and that, of course, developed my interest in art.

I SCREAM - desArtic Exhibition
The art community is growing, but has not always been so united. It is, however, strengthening and learning to work together, seeing itself more as a unit and not just as a competition. I think there is also a real interest for artists to bring art to the general public, taking it to the streets and putting people in contact with it.
In addition, I am really happy to see that graphic design is becoming more relevant and that the art community understands that, in addition to being utilitarian, it is also an art that brings beauty and content.
I SCREAM - desArtic Exhibition

Thoughts : The Boy Downstairs (2017)
The only thing tougher than getting into a relationship can be letting go of one. People tend to go to drastic measures to provide the outward appearance of having moved on, but in the end, the real work is done internally. You can put a thousand miles between yourself and an ex, but until you come to grips with your feelings, a hint of the past will always remain. All of this and more is examined in the Sophie Brooks picture The Boy Downstairs.
Diana (Zosia Mamet) returns from a three year vacation spurned by a breakup with her ex-boyfriend Ben (Matthew Shear). She touches base with her friend Gabby (Diana Irvine), who hooks her up with realtor Meg (Sarah Ramos) in order to help her lock in an apartment. Meg shows Diana a beautiful apartment and introduces her to owner Amy (Deirdre O’Connell), with whom she immediately connects, thus securing the apartment. Much to the behest of Diana, however, it turns out that her downstairs neighbor is Ben, who also happens to be dating Meg. With hopes of moving on from her bridal job and succeeding as a writer, Diana realizes that her proximity to her ex is forcing old habits and thought patterns to re-emerge, which makes moving on that much more difficult.
The way that love is portrayed in this film is refreshing. Rather than being filled with over the top, rambunctious moments, the film is very grounded. The conversations are handled without shouting and crocodile tears, the major gestures are at best off the cuff plans made in moments of desperation, and the idea of pressure is the major issue on both sides of the relationship. The people involved are more down to earth than glamorous or model-like, and their concerns are ones that the average viewer can relate to. If you’ve ever been in modern love, it’s hard not to see pieces of yourself somewhere in the film.
An inability for or protagonist to move on is the true driving force of the film. Be it a conscious decision to try to force a friendship on your ex for the sake of your own feelings, or be it the universe placing you directly above your ex in a city as expansive as New York, the narrative through line is all about echoes in the mind, and regrets about how things were handled the first time around. Small moments trigger flashback memories to sentimental ones, and new moments are often put to rest as feelings from older moments emerge, keeping everyone trapped in a loop that keeps them connected without growth.
Ultimately, resolution is achieved through brutal honesty. Diana is forced to accept the fact that all of her actions from the past few years have been distracting her from the things she really wants. Ben is forced to be honest with himself (and Diana) in regards to the fact that he cannot be friends with an ex who pushed him away during his most vulnerable period. Even supporting characters like Gabby and Amy end up coming to grips with truths that determine their life paths, respectively.
Zosia Mamet presents a charm that is sandwiched between deep feelings and an outward stoic nature, occasionally letting her guard down to be incredibly vulnerable. Matthew Shear brings that quality that many young men have of making grand gestures without having the ability to address relevant issues directly, in hopes that the grand gestures will hold things together. Diana Irvine kills in the best friend role, providing enough support to keep Mamet coming back, but enough truth to keep Mamet honest, all the while dropping in very natural bits of humor. Deirdre O’Connell brings the wisdom of having loved and lost to the proceedings, having a perspective that none of the other characters are able to relate to directly due to a lack of experience. Sarah Ramos plays an appropriate thorn in the side to Mamet, letting her perceptions of Mamet as a threat inform her actions. Smaller appearances by David Wohl, Deborah Offner and Jeff Ward bring more life to the world of the film.
I can’t lie, the only reason I jumped on this film was seeing Zosia Mamet on several pieces of promo. Something about her demeanor spoke to me without saying a word, and it left me intrigued much more than the premise should have sparked. This one was definitely a pleasant, under the radar discovery.

Varejo quer fisgar recurso do FGTS, mas consumidor deve ter cautela
O varejo pegou carona no calendário de saques das contas inativas do Fundo de Garantia por Tempo de Serviço (FGTS), e tem oferecido vantagens fora de época para tentar fisgar o consumidor. O principal atrativo é a volta da "parcelinha", com o alongamento dos prazos de pagamento. Mas, para não fazer um mau negócio, educadores financeiros ressaltam que os trabalhadores não devem embarcar na euforia do FGTS a qualquer custo, para não comprometer planejamentos futuros.
As condições de pagamento variam de acordo com cada lojista. Na rede Extra, os eletrodomésticos e smartphones poderão ser parcelados em até 20 vezes sem juros no cartão da loja. A empresa explica que essas condições antes eram restritas a produtos específicos ou promoções de datas comemorativas.
Até o mês de julho, quando ocorre a liberação do último lote das contas inativas, o Walmart oferece aos consumidores a possibilidade de parcelar em até 15 vezes as suas compras de produtos da linha branca, eletrodomésticos e telefonia. Nos demais meses do ano, o prazo máximo será de 10 meses.
Para Nicola Tingas, consultor econômico da Associação Nacional das Instituições de Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento (Acrefi), a receita extra do FGTS é boa tanto para o consumidor - que ganha poder de barganha para tentar descontos maiores -, quanto para o lojista, que vê o risco de inadimplência cair.
As prestações a longo prazo, no entanto, podem esconder um risco para os consumidores, já que os juros sempre estarão embutidos nas parcelas, alerta a planejadora financeira da Planejar, Diana Benfatti. Mesmo que a loja anuncie que pagamentos a prazo são isentos de taxas, "o valor do dinheiro no tempo sempre tá dentro do preço". "O que existe é a falta de desconto. Se conseguir desconto maior que os juros que estaria pagando, vale a pena pagar à vista", explica.
A queda de 7% nas vendas nos últimos doze meses, segundo o IBGE, aliada a um cenário ainda incerto, faz com que os empresários do setor varejista não se sintam confortáveis para oferecer juros menores nas compras parceladas, avalia o diretor econômico da Associação Nacional dos Executivos de Finanças Miguel Oliveira. Para ele, as promoções anunciadas também são uma estratégia para liquidar os altos estoques.

Para tentar alavancar suas vendas com o FGTS, a Casas Bahia espalhou nas fachadas das suas lojas banners que convidam os consumidores para tirar dúvidas sobre o benefício com consultores especializados. O jornal O Estado de S. Paulo visitou três lojas em São Paulo, localizadas na Praça Ramos de Azevedo, na Avenida Liberdade e no Largo do Bairro do Limão, para saber como funcionava este atendimento. Em uma das lojas, o consultor se identificou como um funcionário da Caixa, tendo a função de pegar os dados pessoais do cliente para verificar se ele tinha ou não direito ao saque.
Depois desse atendimento, o cliente recebia um voucher que prometia descontos exclusivos e era orientado a procurar os vendedores. A reportagem conversou com vários vendedores, tentando barganhar alguma vantagem tanto na compra à vista quanto no parcelamento. Todos os benefícios e ofertas anunciadas no canal do YouTube da rede e nos vouchers entregues dentro das lojas, entretanto, não existiam para além dos preços e prazos que a rede varejista já praticava anteriormente.
Ao jornal "O Estado de S. Paulo", a Via Varejo, empresa responsável pela administração da Casas Bahia e Ponto Frio, afirmou que não estabeleceu qualquer parceria com a Caixa para permitir que funcionários do banco atuassem dentro das suas lojas. Por meio de nota, a Caixa informa que não existem parcerias com varejistas para consultas ao saldo das contas inativas.
O Procon alerta que os consumidores não devem fornecer seus dados pessoais para consultores dentro de lojas. Além disso, se o cliente receber alguma promoção com condições vantajosas e a oferta não for cumprida, ele deve reclamar. "A empresa pode ser acusada de realizar propaganda enganosa", afirma Marta Aur, assessora técnica da diretoria de atendimento do Procon.
Otimismo
O comércio varejista do Estado de São Paulo pode ter um faturamento extra de até 2,5% neste ano com o dinheiro das contas inativas do FGTS. A projeção, realizada pela Federação do Comércio, Bens Serviços e Turismo do Estado de São Paulo (FecomércioSP), aponta que os recursos extras nas mãos dos consumidores têm potencial para alavancar as vendas do setor principalmente na capital, Grande São Paulo e em Campinas, totalizando até R$ 15 bilhões em receita.
Para o economista da FecomércioSP, Fábio Pina, ainda que nem todo o dinheiro seja destinado ao consumo, o varejo pode se beneficiar no médio e longo prazos. Ao serem usados para quitar uma dívida ou em aplicações, tais recursos entram no mercado financeiro e elevam a capacidade bancária de conceder empréstimos.
