I know you said you’d cry if someone requested it, but - like…
Would you write a short thing about Aemond cleaning his asshole? It’s definitely what the entire fandom needs, lol, and you would do it so well!
Here you go, my boobear. Thank you for waiting so patiently.
Tumblr media
Cleanliness is Next to Godliness
Pairing: Aemond and the privy, I guess? Warnings: This is a crack fic. The request is all the warning you need. Word count: ~1k
Author's note: This is written as a joke between a mutual and I. If you're easily offended I implore you to employ the liberal use of "don't like, don't read". Community labels are for cops.
Aemond strives for perfection in all things. Growing up, he is teased mercilessly by his brother Aegon and his nephews, Jace and Luke. They perceive him as weak and pathetic, a Targaryen without a dragon. Truthfully, a more shameful existence does not exist for those of Valyrian ancestry; born with the blood to ride a dragon, yet unable to claim one.
When Aemond becomes the rider of Vhagar, the greatest dragon in all of Westeros, he makes a point to ensure it is an accolade he is worthy of. He studies history and philosophy to keep his mind sharp, trains with the sword to mold himself into a fearsome warrior and works hard to ensure he is viewed as nothing less than perfect.
This extends as far as his habits in the privy.
“What do you mean you don’t shit? Everyone does! I do it all the time!” Aegon says with heated exasperation.
“Not me,” Aemond says simply. “I am above such things. That is concentrated evil that comes out of the back of you.”
Maintaining a flawless facade requires diligence and discipline. Through trial and error, Aemond has managed to uphold his stoic reputation as a man with no taste for depravity for almost a decade. 
There is a minor hiccup on his thirteenth name day when Aegon takes him to a pleasure house on the Street of Silk. The nerves that flutter in his stomach cause him to depart before he engages with any of the women that have been offered to him—not before he leaves a dirty protest on the floor, however, an offense for which Aegon takes the blame. His brother has to pay a fine of a golden dragon for the cleaning costs.
When Aegon questions him about it, Aemond simply shrugs and says, “I am above such things.”
Aemond awakens each morning in the space between the hour of the bat and the rooster, when the Keep is still quiet. As requested, the servants have left him a basin of water and a cloth, as they do every day. They know better than to ask why. Aemond carries it with great care to the privy and sets it on the floor, seating himself on the privy to move his bowels.
As he sits and strains, he ponders on the last time his Uncle Daemon had visited King’s Landing. He’d spent an age using the facilities, coming out afterwards with a smile that was almost proud upon his face, clapping Ser Criston Cole upon the shoulder and announcing, “I’d give that a moment if I were you, Ser Crispin. I’ve made quite the stench.”
He wishes he could shit so brazenly; Daemon is an accomplished soldier, an infamous dragon rider and shameless in his privy habits. Aemond both envies and admires him, but he is too deep into his ruse of not having normal bodily functions to backtrack now. Later that afternoon, Daemon had sliced Vaemond Velaryon’s head in half. Aemond is unsure of which act he is more impressed by; the thought of both makes his cock stir in a manner which disturbs and excites him.
Having had full elimination, Aemond sets about ensuring he is perfectly clean, removing all traces of his defecation from his person using the basin of water and cloth that he has brought in with him.
It is a task that is tricky to manage with just one eye. Over the years, there have been incidents where he has accidently daubed the wall with feces, to be later discovered by furious maidservants who have the unfortunate task of cleaning it off. Thankfully, his mother automatically places the blame on Aegon and he goes free without suspicion or a scolding.
He is better practiced now, however, and leaves no trace of his misgivings behind. Cleanliness is next to godliness, his mother once told him; he sends up a prayer to each of the Seven as he dabs at his soiled ring of muscle. It passes the time and helps occupy his mind from the humiliation of what he is having to endure.
On this particular morning, Aegon throws open the privy door as Aemond squats over the basin of water, his eyes going wide first with shock then delight as he takes in the sight before him.
Aemond freezes, mortification shooting hotly through his body from head to toe. Aegon reeks of wine; he must have decided to stumble back to the Keep, instead of sleeping it off in the bed of whichever whore he’d taken for the evening.
“I knew it!” Aegon slurs with a grin. “That is concentrated evil coming out the back of you! Just wait until Jace and Luke hear about this!”
He staggers away, his laugh maniacal as Aemond shakes with rage and embarrassment, hurriedly pulling his breeches back up.
Aegon says nothing further on the matter as the days pass, and Aemond assumes he must have been too far into his cups to remember. He breathes a sigh of relief. His reputation remains untarnished.
That is, until he flies to Storm’s End to take one of Lord Borros Baratheon’s daughters as his wife. 
Luke arrives as they are getting acquainted, and Aemond wastes no time in ensuring he feels unwelcome. “Look at this sad creature, my Lord,” he says smugly. “Little Lucerys Strong. You are wet, bastard. Is it raining, or did you piss yourself in fear?”
Luke smirks and quips back. “Was your coat tarnished brown when you put it on, or did it get in the way while you washed your arse in the privy?”
Aemond flies into a rage. It is that day that Luke and his dragon, Arrax, meet their end at the jaws of Vhagar. To anyone that asks, it is a terrible accident, but Aemond knows the truth. So does Aegon. But his brother never says a word. And so, the One-Eyed Prince keeps his brown eye clean in private, and the matter is never spoken of again. 
The battle between factions of House Targaryen indeed began over a throne, but not one made of swords as the history books would have people believe.

EP Review: Bladee - RIP Bladee (2015)
I'm going to assume everyone who follows me knows who Bladee is because he's insanely popular, but I don't think anyone who doesn't actively listen to a lot of his music will know this EP, as I barely even hear it talked about within the draingang fan community. However, despite it being pretty underrated, I think it's easily one of Bladee's best (as much as there can be a "best" in a discography as consistently amazing as Bladee's) and I want to talk about why I think that. Let's get into it :)
So the essence of this EP is essentially that it's Bladee rapping over oldschool Chicago drill beats, something he's done occasionally throughout his career, but never to the extent he did on this. This is actually why the first track, 7-Eleven is my least favorite. It's not even on a drill beat, it doesn't go with anything else on the EP. The hook is weak, there aren't any notable verses, and I don't really care for the beat. I think this track should've been cut or replaced by something else. It would make more sense and be more satisfying as a loose single, instead of setting a completely wrong tone for this release.
However, the 2nd song on the EP more than makes up for 7-Eleven's weakness. Butterfly is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I consider it to be completely flawless. Bladee's voice is mixed really well with a super bassy, but still kind of understated beat. He sounds like a fuckinn robotic angel or some shit, with the ethereal reverb, delay, and flanger(? might be chorus I'm not sure) effects, as well as some super snappy autotune. The hook on this track is so fucking good it gets stuck in my head for actual days every time i listen to it, and Thaiboy's feature is one of his stronger verses ever in my opinion. This is a GOD tier Bladee track that is criminally underrated.
The next track, MJ, continues the trend from Butterfly. Goddamn, this beat is fucking amazing, and Bladee's kind of minimalist vocal performance goes so well with the super busy, high energy beat. I will say, as much as I love Yung Lean I kind of wish both songs with him on them had been Bladee solos, as I think he kind of ruins the vibe a little bit with how much he switches up the flow from Bladee. The last 3 tracks all kind of have this vibe where Bladee is doing exactly as much as he should be, but Leandoer sounds kind of extra in my opinion, with a more aggressive, almost lyrical flow. I will say, I prefer his verse on this song over his verse on 50Sac.
On the topic of features, Pyscho, the 4th song on this EP, has one of the strongest in any draingang song ever. Bladee keeps to catchy flows, and lets the beat kind of carry the energy of the track (in a good way), and DAMN i get HYPE every single time i hear Adamn Killa start doing adlibs on the 2nd chorus. I also love the way the beat kind of switches up when Bladee says "And I'm wearin Dulce it's disgusting", just a minor beat feature that goes insane. I think Adamn matches the energy Bladee brings to the track well, while also having his own vibe. His flow reminds me a bit of Lil Reese on this song too (might be a stretch but idk I just hear it). This is definitely another highlight on this EP for me for sure.
The final track is honestly the last one to click for me. 50SACINMYSOCIDGAF takes the kinda minimal-lyric thing to an extreme, with Bladee only repeating "50 sack in my sock ion give a fuck" for the entire chorus, but it clicked for me and it goes INSANE now, especially when he goes up an octave for the 2nd half of the chorus. I also really really like Bladee's verse, it sounds kind of shy if that makes sense, a little sadder and more chill than the rest of the EP (except 7-Eleven) and it creates a great contrast with the high energy drill beat. However, I really don't care for Yung Lean's verse on this one, as he kind of disrupts the vibe in my opinion. I still like it, and I think Lean's verses on this EP are pretty good, I just think the tracks would be better with another Bladee verse instead. I actually have the same feeling about Bones' verse on Shadowface off of Gluee, and I love Bones just as much as I love Yung Lean, if not more.
Overall, this is one of my favorite ever releases from Bladee, and I think it's A-tier (only held back by my above complaints) and would be hall-of-fame level if the rest of Bladee's discography wasn't so strong that it overshadows it. The production is all pretty much fucking perfect (as it almost always is for draingang/sadboys shit) and it has some of Bladee's catchiest hooks and best verses.
9.5/10 (if u ignore 7-Eleven, which I do)
standout track: Butterfly (all of them are so fucking good though)
there's no full youtube upload as far as I know so I'm putting the soundcloud one.

One thing that worries me a lot as season 3 is finally dropping, is the consequences of the community's expectations.
This season has been hyped SO MUCH for so long, I feel like any little flaw or weakness is going to be trashed on mercilessly. I feared people will get so easily underwhelmed because of all the hopes we have and how epic and grand it was sold to be. Because of that, every single beat that doesn't quite hit as expected will automatically be considered ''bad''.
I already see people being disappointed and perplex and I just want to say, give it time. It's only the first episode and this season has so many plot points to install, obviously the first one is going to be a little confusing or messy. I also think, as silly as it might sound, that we just need to get used to the show again. After nearly three years without it, it's normal that it doesn't feel quite as natural to be back as it used to be. For many of us (me included), it doesn't even feel real yet.
Basically, be patient. Allow time for the dust to settle and return with a calmer eye. No show is perfect, this one definitely isn't, but it doesn't have to be flawless and insane all the time to remain great.

I’m here to express my interest in a deep dive! Since I’m not on TikTok, I’m always fascinated by what’s going on there. I also admit that I’m skeptical of the (for-profit) writing advice industry in general, but I don’t really have a great sense of the scope of it.
Hi! Thank you so much for the ask. Since I've been doing research on mainly pre-1800s styles so far, I don't have as much information as I'd like on this in terms of real citations. Though I do promise to update this post with more information through reblogs as time goes on (to fulfill the 'deep' part of the 'deep-dive')!
This will mainly be about my observations on this new attitude to writing I am seeing on tiktok, and through other people I've interacted with. It will be focusing on ideas, 'rules', and premises that I'm seeing occur, with my qualifications to write this being that I've been a proof reader, mainly for younger or newbie writers, for a few years now, study literature and linguistics, and generally find it a lot of fun to look at trends in writing and grammar over time.
Attitudes to Writing (as a whole)
Among the younger generations, I'm seeing the concept of a 'writer' being associated, in some subcultures, as being kind of cringe. And I think that's sad, honestly. I see a lot less readers about, too. Perhaps that's why.
I think that cringe culture has definitely done its damage in dissuading young writers and new writers alike. The demonisation of fanfiction and the mockery of anyone who's just trying things out is something I see everywhere. Personally, I see things such as fanfiction and the popularity of fanfiction among young people as great in terms of fostering new writers and encouraging the growth of new talent. Shaming people for experimentation, when it comes to art, will never be helpful. And yes, writing is an art!
Mocking artistic experimentation, however, seems to be something tiktok is very good at. Whether it be a 13 year old writing their first fanfiction or piece of poetry, or a seasoned professional with three degrees and a bestseller, the writing produced will not be perfect. Because writing is an art, and perfect doesn't exist.
This, actually, leads me into my next point.
Attitudes to Writing (in terms of learning)
This section will mainly be me talking from my experience of those who I have proof read for. Though I won't be naming any names (obviously).
As per my last point, I'm seeing a growing sense of a writing perfection, specifically in the younger writing community. In tandem to that, a sort of narcissism in terms of viewing whatever you've written as perfect, and not being open to the fact that it's genuinely impossible.
I've seen people get angry and defensive over corrections or recommendations for improvements, even if they've asked for them, and people request that I don't point out certain mistakes. Then whats the point? I hear you ask. The answer is likely either a certain shame in not being perfect, or a genuine view that whatever they've written must be flawless.
I understand being nervous. I understand confidence, and encourage it. But if someone refuses to acknowledge that writing is subjective, and that if you ask for criticism you will inevitably receive it, that someone is inevitably incompatible with writing. They will not improve, and that will stagnate them drastically. Those who have asked me honestly for criticism and have been glad to receive it were the ones whom I gave the least recommendations and corrections.
I note this here because it's something I'm seeing a lot among the younger people I'm proofreading for (below twenty). I feel like this goes hand in hand with the mockery of experimentation and imperfection I'm seeing on all sides of the art world online. Either that, or my before-mentioned observation that the average person doesn't seem to read that much; maybe people just think they're the best because they haven't read much else? Who knows. This is all speculation.
I'll also note the education system (in my experience) and it's approach to fiction writing. In my case, I found that it encouraged people to cater to mark schemes rather than quality; I can often see if someone is in high school doing creative writing, since there's often empty adverbs everywhere and a useless metaphor every second sentence. Not that there's anything wrong with adverbs or metaphors though— I'll get to that later.
Moreover, I sometimes see the idea that creativity can be taught. Personally, I disagree with that. Creativity, in my view, can't be taught—execution is what is taught. And that brings me onto my final point
Attitudes to Writing (execution)
Writing, again, is an art. There is very few ways you can write 'wrong'. To me, if it conveys what you want it to convey and is engaging, you've done well.
What I'm seeing, specifically through some tiktoks and some advice being thrown around online, is the rise of this nouveau-prescriptivism. As is with a decent amount of terms in this blog, don't Google that because I pulled it out of my ass.
Prescriptivism is real, however, and has been for hundreds of years. It refers to the idea that rules of how language should be written and spoken should be prescribed and adhered to; this idea has often been the basis for disagreements concerning AAVE, slang, and neopronouns (but that's for other asks or posts, if you want).
What I'd call this 'nouveau-prescriptivism' is the rise in unnecessary corrections and nonsense recommendations: make all your sentences short, never use adverbs, only use 'said', or never use 'said', and keep things simple at all costs. Oh, and don't forget the 'never start a sentence with a conjunction'—I've broken that rule quite a few times in this post alone. And I do it out of spite.
Beyond seeing these ideas and recommendations in advice etc online, I've also seen it through the recommendations of grammar bots and editor programs. For example, one I found being recommended on tiktok today: Hemingway.
Hemingway is an editor programme that seems to check for all the things I've seen bashed to all hell in some writing circles online. Adverbs, passive voice, complex sentences, you name it. It looks for those, marks your sentences if they are 'hard to read' or 'very hard to read', and rates your work according to readability so you can improve it.
But these sentences they flag up as hard to read are only hard to read to people who likely wouldn't get far in a book anyway. These sentences aren't incorrect, and they mostly don't need improvement. Moreover, the quality of your writing is NOT determined by how easy it is to read. If it was, those baby books with the pictures in would be top literature. All the time on some areas of the online writing world (particularly among the 'aspiring' writers), I see this view that complexity and high levels of detail are bad. I highly disagree. Sure, overdescribing can be an issue, but it has it's place. Adverbs and the passive voice also have their places in writing, and no AI or programme can determine where.
Here is an extract of my own writing put into Hemingway. I don't claim myself to be a great writer, but I like to see myself as average.
Tumblr media
Sentences in yellow are labelled hard to read. In red, very hard to read. And the words in blue are those pesky adverbs. You can share your own opinions on readability.
-
Now, here are some extracts from extremely influential novels put into Hemingway:
The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood
Tumblr media
Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
Tumblr media
The Bloody Chamber, by Angela Carter
Tumblr media
We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Tumblr media
If these novels were so terrible, they wouldn't have had such a literary impact on the world. Complexity is not bad. As with everything in writing, its use is dependent on how it is utilised. Know the rules well and you'll know how to break them—I would say, if this was a rule to begin with.
I think the promotion of programmes such as these show what I'm seeing as a rise in this view that writing has to be simple and uber-understandable in order to be good. Sure, good writing is understandable, otherwise nobody would understand it enough to see it as good. But cutting out descriptions and complexity will just hinder the creative output of the writer. The less rules, the better. That's what I think.
-
Though, all of this is just my opinion. And I'd love to hear any friendly additions or views on the matter. I will also note that this post is NOT a commentary on the writing community as a whole. It's on specific subcultures I'm seeing brewing among the younger writers, particularly on tiktok.
Thank you again for the ask :D

WoT S1E1 Retrospective Part 2
 Full Spoilers Below!!
go to previous, next
Tumblr media
^ so THIS is where Rand's thought process about Aes Sedai came from lol!!! Rand is directly in the background and he is taking mental notes!
Tumblr media
^ so funny how Tam’s and Bran’s opinions of Aes Sedai affect/foreshadow their children’s opinions down the line. Tam is wary, while Bran is accepting. Cool. 
Tumblr media
^ I SHIP IT SO IRONICALLY.
Tumblr media
^ That’s such a baby Rand thing of him to do. Thinking with his heart not his head 
Tumblr media
^ This one little scene communicates so much about Moiraine and Lan’s relationship. 
Tumblr media
^ Another moment of great characterization in this episode (for both Rand and Eggy). Egwene has to make a decision and we as the audience already know which one that she truly wants to make, and which one Rand wants her to make. The depth of their relationship makes this all the more dire. 
Tumblr media
^ now Fain’s whistling theme wasn’t something I noticed upon my first watch but it’s such a nice detail in hindsight hehe
Tumblr media
^ homage to Peter Jackson’s Fellowship! Feels very fitting considering the influence Tolkien’s works had on EotW
Tumblr media
^ OH MY GOD THIS ACTOR. Amazing. Flawless. Perfect for the role. Also... now that I’m looking at this image...did they really color grade this shot to make his teeth look more yellow? The whites on the mountains look way more yellow as well which is why im suspicious. 
Tumblr media
^ Yeaaa the mountains were definitely color graded. Anyways, what does that greeting have to say about YOU as a merchant, Fain, HUH?? 
Tumblr media
^ “What do you have for me this year?” Damn, Mat. It’s been a whole year and all you could come up with was 1 bracelet which you stole the very night before?...Mat is king of procrastination
Tumblr media
^ Meanwhile Rand is doing his typical thing...having an existential crisis on a mountaintop
Tumblr media
^ I want to believe that after everything forthcoming, that Rand goes back to the Two Rivers and builds a house and raises sheep. (╥﹏╥) 
Tumblr media
^ A lot of people cite this right here as Rand showing acceptance of Egwene’s decision to become the Wisdom’s apprentice, thus reducing the final act of this season. I disagree. I think he says this to her now for her sake, but doesn’t truly believe it for himself until the critical moment in the final episode. There’s a stark difference between simply saying that you “accept” her decision (and being upset about it deep down), and truly wanting her to live the life that she wants for herself. 
Tumblr media
^ Zoe’s acting appreciation sidenote!!! This is sooooo very Nynaeve
Tumblr media
^ So I doubt they actually turned the old wisdom away because she was a peasant. Literally Siuan showed up in a skiff with nothing but a small sack of belongings and rose to become Amyrlin. 
Nyn has the right to be mad, regardless. Hell, the old wisdom walked for months only to be turned away???  I’d be pissed and spread the nastiest rumors about those “witches” when I got back.
Tumblr media
^ cozy sweater appreciation
Tumblr media
^ Nooo not the sheep :( 
Tumblr media
^ Awww i always love seeing how close friends Rand, Mat, and Perrin are. the OG ta’veren. ≧◡≦
Ending it here...

Yeah, Carver definitely gets more development than Bethany does, though I usually keep this to myself, especially on this site lest I upset someone who thinks she's flawless and can do no wrong. It certainly seems suspect that mages who go against the Chantry get such a raw deal and the ones who embrace it are rewarded by the narrative, go figure. It's funny how Anders destroying a Chantry makes him irredeemable and people wring their hands but if Vivienne destroys a building? Crickets.
Dude I have complained about this exact thing!!! Especially within this fandom - there are countless people on this site who scream abuse at Anders as a character, only to turn around and call Vivienne a girlboss. You really don't get to have it both ways. Though I also emphasize that they are not the same. Anders attacks a system of power and oppression in order to incite a revolution in an effort to protect a marginalized group of people, while Vivienne attacks a marginalized community in order to uphold the system of power and oppression of which she has made herself a part. (Though I am able to acknowledge that she did so in order to preserve herself and give herself some power. I just don't like who she became.)
As for Bethany and Carver, I love complexities in characters and narratives, so I love that Bethany has this huge flaw of accepting Meredith's actions and denying herself basic rights, and I love how Carver, who is so stuffed full of flaws, proves himself to be a great man once he finally comes into his own, so great that he will humble himself, apologize, and accept your leadership at the end in order to face down Meredith, whom he absolutely perceives as a threat.
I also will admit that I love how the narrative rewards those who side with the Chantry and punishes those who don't - because, in the world of Thedas, that's exactly how things would go. 'History is written by the victors' and all that. The world of Thedas seems so very real to me because we are forced within that narrative, and our frustration and desire to break out of it is, at least for me, what instigates the choices I end up making. As if I myself am attempting some sort of revolution against the parts of the world that I want to see changed. Being forced to immerse myself in such a way makes me very happy.
Anyway, in short, Dragon Age is a story chock-full of complexities, both in the worldbuilding and in the characters. Simplifying any of that in any way is a disservice to a phenomenal creation.

Following up on my post from before about the first of the specials now that I’ve finished them all, spoilers under the cut. TL;DR/spoiler free version, they’re all decently fun, the third one actually makes it feel like an anniversary
First episode thoughts haven’t changed, it’s fun, standard Doctor Who fair, felt like it was made for everyone who stopped watching after 10 regenerated with barely enough context to get people over the jump, worked entirely because David and Catherine have amazing chemistry.
Second episode is filler, but with a purpose. One scene during the actual adventure exists to set up the plot, but outside communicating to Donna that the Doctor’s in a mess of an identity crisis and thankfully establishing that RTD isn’t going to hand wave away canon events, overarching plot isn’t really there but that’s fine. It was a lot of fun, and was silly and exciting. Definitely shined because again, David and Catherine have great chemistry. Didn’t feel like part of an anniversary.
And then Part 3. Objectively the best part of them all, and for three reasons: Kate Stewart, Melanie Bush, and the 15th Doctor. And those three are doing a lot of heavy lifting for me because I… have opinions that matter a lot to me, and absolutely no one else. The Toymaker is, I’m very aware, a biased narrator, but the way 11 and 12’s companions were portrayed in the episode’s puppet show rubbed me the wrong way.
Which might have been the point. Kill the nuance, give the death and not what came after, and cast the Doctor as the problem to make Donna doubt him and him doubt himself. Genuinely that’s going to be how I read it. And the blatant lack of mention of any of thirteen’s companions - probably because all of hers left. Completely alive, memories in tact, in their original universe.
The bi-generation bit is a little bit of a cop out but it was desperately fun, and I’ve come up with a working in universe explanation for myself so I can roll with it, even though I doubt it’s what RTD is going for. Pretty sure it’s mostly so they can try and give DT a spin-off and convince people to not drop Disney+ between seasons if they’re only using it for Doctor Who. Or milk the franchise the same way they’ve done it with Marvel and Star Wars and their own animated canon.
But back to what I was saying. It finally felt like the anniversary special we were told it was. There was a celebration of Doctor Who within it that was deeper than looking back exclusively at things done in Series Four. The past mattered. I hate to say this because Catherine Tate is flawless but it was nice to pull away from Donna for the little it did and give the Doctor breathing room.
I wish it didn’t take so long for me to look at it and say ‘yes, this set of episodes is meant to celebrate 60 years of Doctor Who’, but in the end I did get there, which is a marked improvement on where I was when we only had one episode. I’ll take it.
I won’t come back to it constantly like I do with the 50th. But it gave me the 15th Doctor. It gave me back Melanie Bush. I’m glad to finally have the Doctor I was promised all those ages ago. And I had fun. In the end, that’s all I ask of Doctor Who.

philia 1 2 and 4 for rowen
1. Does your OC have a Best Friend? If they do then how long have they known each other and how did they meet? If they don't then do they have a close group of friends they love equally? Or are they more of a loner?
i’m such a fucking sucker for siblings as best friends ok. rowen has never had a friend she loved and understood better than evander. a lot of that stems from their childhood where rowen did not get along particularly well with any of her peers (overdeveloped sense of justice etc etc) and evander was willing to sacrifice his admittedly pretty shallow childhood friends to make sure his sister didn’t end up alone. their partnership is flawless and now they make some money killing people about it. not exactly evander’s preferred profession, but i digress. him and rowen are absolutely unstoppable and wouldn’t trade each other for the world.
2. Does your OC find it easy to make friends? Or are there barriers to them doing so? If so then are these due to issues of inclination, communication, or something else entirely?
it’s much easier for rowen to make friends now than it was when she was younger. she knows how to find her people. rowen’s connections are primarily made through experience and shared ideas, so when she finds someone with a similar kind of fire as her, no matter how subdued it may be in them, she has an easy time bringing it out and cultivating that friendship. it’s the kind of thing that really transcends age and personal history, which is why people like zephyr and alya aren’t intimidated by her. she’s definitely not someone you immediately think of as especially socially adept, but she has her moments.
4. Do they believe in love at first sight? Have they ever developed a crush or romantic (or erotic) fixation upon a stranger based on their appearance alone?
believing in love at first sight is a no. she certainly believes in attraction at first sight, but not love. that’s pretty easily seen with grace. it’s not her fault that grace looked so strikingly gorgeous in comparison to the shitty quality newspaper photos she’s gathered for intel. so that was a pretty immediate crush. …which wasn’t great considering that the two were not exactly allies yet when they first met. rowen and grace’s relationship evolved pretty gradually, but has also always been founded on their mutual attraction to each other. the love part in terms of emotional bonding gets a little messy, but it’s there and it’s important.

Soft Skills Required For Software Testing Career
In this article, we are going to discuss about the soft skills that every software tester should be aware of. Being technically strong will definitely help you in getting the software testing job that you have been dreaming of, but if you wish to excel in the software testing field in the long run, you need to have great soft skills, as well. There are quite a few non-technical skills that are required for being successful in testing. Now, let's have a look at the various soft skills that make you a successful software tester.
1. Communication Skills:
Good communication skills actually are one of the most important traits in a candidate for any position. For a tester, both verbal and written communication are crucial. Software testers need good communication skills to ensure test artefacts created by them, for example, test strategy, test plan, test cases, etc. are easy to understand by other members in the team.
As a tester, you must be able to clearly document and communicate defects in a program to developers, you need to update testing status of the project to clients, communicate your work progress to test management and prepare test reports for management, so effective communication is vital.
2. Prioritization Skills:
Testers have a lot of responsibilities. You'll need to write and execute test cases, document test results, report bugs, etc. Also, a tester may be involved in more than one project at the same time. So to be able to work in a fast-paced environment you should know how to prioritize tasks based on project deadlines. You should try to complete testing tasks in the order of priority rather than in the order they were assigned to you.
3. Organization Skills:
To be able to deliver work within the specified timeframe, you will need to organise your work. Even though you have a plan to complete your work on time, each day brings new challenges, for example, changes in requirements, unstable test environment, blocking issues, and your day may not end up the way you expected it to. With these in mind, you should hone your organization skills.
4. Time Management:
Time management skills are critical for QA Testers. You should have the ability to estimate the time needed to complete a testing task. For example, time to prepare the test environment, time to create test data, and the time required for the testing process. Prioritize the work that you have to do, determine the sequence of tasks and plan how you'll spend the available time. Sometimes there are too many activities going on at the same time especially during the software release. A software tester must be able to manage workload and maintain the productivity level.
5. Teamwork:
Teamwork skills are the skills that enable you to work well with others. Software test engineers work closely with every member of the software development team to build a product that meets end-user requirements. They collaborate with developers to resolve issues, collaborate with other team members to complete testing tasks. Employers expect employees to be team players. Candidates with strong teamwork skills are sought out by employers for many reasons.
6. Attention to Detail:
Software testers must have flawless attention to detail. Often small things can have a pretty serious effect on an entire application. They need the ability to notice small changes in a system and understand their significance.
7. Analytical Skills:
This is one of the essential requisites of a software tester. Software testers should be able to analyse every aspect of a system, identifying any potential weaknesses that could impact the overall quality.
8. Understand User Perspective
A tester must step into the shoes of an end user, only then he or she can understand the real needs of an end user and test the application accordingly. Understanding how end users use an application and how they interact with application will give insights on what really matters for end users.
9. Passion for Software Testing
In order to give the best out of your work, you should love what you do. To be a professional software tester, the candidate has to be passionate about the things he is dealing with.
Conclusion: Soft skills can be developed over time. With commitment to growth and continued learning, anyone can develop these skills. Possessing these skills not only make you an excellent tester, but helps the team succeed as well.

Hi! I stumbled on your dating advice post, not sure how long ago you posted it or if you resolved the issue with the guy you were talking to. I read the whole post and the guy’s reaction seemed out of line and unreasonable. Dating can be complicated especially now a days…. But regardless he should of not been upset with you when you have your own life and business to deal with. I also find it very odd that he was upset that you were unable to spend time with him when youre busy visiting a friend and I can completely understanding socially exhausted or just tired from a long weekend and needing time for yourself!! You also told him that it was a 50-50 chance whether you were up to meeting up with him, you didn’t give him a definite no, but nor was it a guaranteed yes. Honestly, it’s quite shocking that he’s showing his true colors this quickly and the two of you have only been communicating via text message.  don’t waste your time with a potential partner that is just going to dictate and contradict every little thing that you do for yourself. I hope this make sense (English is not my first language so I apologize) hope this help!! Wishing you best and hope romance blesses you when you least expect it!! :)
Oh god, my heart just filled with so much affection for you because you‘re so sweet for this, feel hugged when you see this 🥺💖💖
The post is from yesterday, so I’m really glad to hear your opinion about it!! In the end, I decided to cancel the date because I could definitely not imagine being in a relationship with him. I mean, I do enjoy texting with people I like, but I already felt the pressure and the obligation to answer on the spot, because he would send “u good?“ messages if I haven’t responded for like two hours- which happens sometimes when you‘re busy, and the fact that he made me feel like I need to justify my actions and check with him if I can go shopping without him getting mad- that’s just too much for me. Especially when I’ve only known him for like a week. I felt really insecure yesterday though, if I was to blame for the whole situation, that took my whole mood down.
I‘m also glad that he showed this side early on- I had no feelings involved at this point, so I don’t really regret my decision. I‘d rather patiently wait for someone I feel truly comfortable with 💕
BTW! Your English is flawless, it all makes sense to me!! You‘re doing great, no need to feel insecure!! I hope you‘re having more luck in your love life and that you‘re having an amazing day! Thank you for your insight on this, that’s really cheering me up and making me feel better 💕

Mastering the Art of Balance: Essential Tips to Ride a Bridle Horse at High Speeds
Cracking the Code: Strategies to Achieve Perfect Balance While Riding a Bridle Horse at High Speeds
Are you ready to dive into the exhilarating world of horseback riding at lightning speeds? Picture yourself gracefully galloping through open fields, feeling the wind in your hair as you and your trusty steed become one unstoppable force. But with great speed comes great responsibility – maintaining perfect balance while riding a bridle horse can be quite the challenge! Fret not, fellow equestrians, because today we are going to crack the code and unveil strategies that will help you achieve flawless equilibrium when racing against time. So saddle up as we embark on this thrilling journey towards mastering high-speed horsemanship!
Introduction to Riding a Bridle Horse at High Speeds
When it comes to high-speed riding, nothing is more important than achieving perfect balance. This can be a challenge, but with the right techniques, it is definitely achievable. Here are some tips to help you crack the code and ride a bridle horse at high speeds with perfect balance:
1. Use your legs to grip the horse's sides. This will give you more control and stability while riding at high speeds.
2. Sit up tall in the saddle and keep your shoulders back. This will help you stay aligned and balanced while riding at high speeds.
3. Keep your hands close to the horse's neck and use light rein pressure. This will help you maintain communication with your horse and prevent him from getting too far ahead of you.
4. Look ahead while riding, not down at the ground. This will help you stay focused and prevent you from getting dizzy or disoriented while riding at high speeds.
5. Relax! The more tense you are, the more likely you are to lose balance while riding at high speeds. So take a deep breath and relax your body as much as possible while still maintaining a good grip on the horse's sides with your legs.
Setting Up the Saddle and Bridle for Maximum Balance
If you're looking to achieve perfect balance while riding a bridle horse at high speeds, there are a few key things you need to do in terms of setting up the saddle and bridle. First, make sure that the saddle is positioned centrally on the horse's back and that the cinch is tight enough to keep it in place but not so tight that it causes discomfort. Secondly, ensure that the bridle is fitted correctly and that the bit is positioned correctly in the horse's mouth - this will vary depending on the size and shape of your horse's head, so it's important to get professional advice if you're unsure. Make sure that your stirrups are the correct length for you; too long and you'll be off-balance, too short and you won't be able to control the horse properly.
By following these simple tips, you'll be well on your way to achieving perfect balance while riding at high speeds.
Finding the Right Position for Your Body and Saddle
When it comes to finding the right position for your body and saddle, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you want to make sure that your pelvis is in a neutral position. This means that your hips should be level with each other and your spine should be in a straight line. If you find that your pelvis is tilted to one side or the other, it will throw off your balance and make it more difficult to stay in the saddle. Second, you want to make sure that your weight is evenly distributed between your legs. If you find that you are carrying more weight on one leg than the other, it will again throw off your balance and make it more difficult to stay in the saddle. You want to make sure that your stirrups are the correct length. If they are too short, it will be difficult to keep your feet in them and if they are too long, they will dangle and get caught on things as you ride. The best way to find the correct stirrup length is to have someone hold the stirrup while you mount the horse. Then, adjust the stirrup until it is at a comfortable length for you.
Establishing a Balanced Seat and Centered Position
If you're an experienced rider, you know that maintaining a balanced seat and centered position is key to riding a bridle horse at high speeds. Here are some strategies to help you achieve perfect balance while riding:
1. Use your legs to grip the horse's sides. This will give you more control and stability while riding at high speeds.
2. Sit up tall in the saddle and keep your weight evenly distributed. This will help you stay balanced and prevent you from being thrown off the horse if it makes any sudden movements.
3. Hold the reins in both hands and keep them close to your body. This will help you maintain control of the horse and prevent the reins from getting tangled.
4. Look ahead at where you're going and focus on maintaining a steady pace. This will help you stay focused and prevent yourself from getting dizzy or disoriented.
The Role of Hands in Achieving Perfect Balance
Hands are an important part of achieving perfect balance while riding a bridle horse at high speeds. By keeping your hands close to the horse's withers, you create a stable center of gravity that allows you to move with the horse as one unit. This prevents you from being thrown off balance and makes it easier to control the horse at high speeds. Additionally, using light contact with the reins helps you to maintain a light and consistent contact with the horse's mouth, which is essential for communication and control at high speeds.
Practice: Putting it All Together
Now that you know the three main strategies for perfect balance while riding a bridle horse at high speeds, it's time to put them into practice! 
1. Always maintain a strong and correct position in the saddle. Remember to keep your back straight, your shoulders down and back, your hips level, and your legs glued to the horse's sides. This will give you the best possible chance of maintaining perfect balance through any situation.
2. Use your core muscles to stabilize your body and keep yourself upright. As you ride, engage your abs and maintain a strong core. This will help you stay balanced and in control even when things get rocky.
3. Stay light on your feet and be prepared for anything. Keep your weight centered over the horse's center of gravity and be sure to distribute your weight evenly between both legs. This will help you stay balanced and avoid getting thrown off if the horse should make any sudden moves.
By following these three simple tips, you'll be well on your way to achieving perfect balance while riding a bridle horse at high speeds!
Conclusion
As you can see, developing the perfect balance while riding a bridle horse at high speeds is no easy feat. However, with proper practice and dedication to mastering these strategies, you’ll be able to have an exciting and safe time on the track. Remember to maintain your poise in the saddle and never forget to focus on keeping yourself centered over your mount as this is key for achieving that elusive balance. With these tips in mind, I hope that you can now confidently approach any bridling challenge ahead of you!

Is Weed Legal in Aruba- Marijuana Laws in Aruba
Tumblr media
Aruba is a Caribbean island owned by the Netherlands. This little country is an exceptionally well-known vacationer location, and that is understandable. The weather conditions are warm, it doesn't rain much, and the beaches are astonishing. On the off chance that you are searching for a completely flawless occasion with a mixed drink in your grasp under a palm, Aruba is for you.
The minuscule Caribbean nation of Aruba is a well-known travel destination for Americans and Europeans. However, with regards to cannabis, things are somewhat more confounded. In spite of the great name of the Netherlands in the cannabis community, marijuana is really not legal there, and it's additionally not legal in Aruba. In contrast to Amsterdam, however, approaches to the sale and use of marijuana in Aruba are undeniably less liberal.
Is Marijuana Legal in Aruba?
Cannabis is not legitimate in any way, shape, or form. Aruba does not support cannabis' recreational use, nor does it have a medical program for patients to battle changing conditions and illnesses. This means buying, selling, and consuming cannabis in Aruba is a no.
Despite most individuals' thought processes, cannabis is illegal in the Netherlands. In Aruba, weed is illegal; however, it is also less tolerated than in the Netherlands. There are no coffeshops to sell you weed. Instead, you should depend on street dealers. The penalties for being caught with weed vary depending on how much you have. In the event that you just have a couple of grams implied for personal use, you should pull off a simple fine.
Furthermore, don't imagine that just because you're a tourist, you could have to deal with diminished damages, as the nation has seen a couple of cases where tourists land in the slammer for consuming it like they would in their nation of origin. In any case, you could most likely pull it off in a tranquil and confidential spot far away from locals and the police.
Medical Marijuana Laws in Aruba
Not at all like recreational weed, medicinal marijuana is legal in Aruba. Undoubtedly somewhat. You can have specific medicines that contain cannabis, yet you are not really permitted to buy bud in a dispensary, as in numerous US states. While this isn't much, it's a decent sign for the stoners of Aruba, as it shows that the government is getting used to the idea. Medicinal cannabis was legalized to help the nearby economy, and a great deal of the creation is intended for export.
Beginning in 2017, the Liberal government upheld and took a minor step by making CBD products legal in Aruba. However, the legal definition currently states that CBD products with less than 0.2% THC can be used. Medical cannabis flower, on the other hand, is not yet legal; the government is currently working on that.
Can You Buy Weed in Aruba?
Tumblr media
Starting around 2020, you can bring CBD-based products into the country that contain less than 0.2% THC. Carrying weed to Aruba, in any case, isn't fitting. It is illegal, and you might end up in jail.
Obviously, you can buy weed in Aruba, but not legally. For those hoping to buy locally, it tends to be viewed as being in a considerable number of the vacationer areas of interest: at seaports, sold by fly ski folks, along the oceanside, and at local bars.
In the event that you should get your hands on marijuana, be careful because the nature of the spice you're buying probably won't be pretty much as powerful as your favorite flower back home. Dealers could offer madly excessive costs as well, so try to pose a few inquiries and perhaps arrange.
Ending Note
Aruba isn't a spot for marijuana sweethearts. We suggest you not carry your weed stuff along with you. Try not to allow your love of weed to destroy your life until the end of time.
Assuming you stay in Aruba, you should observe your nation's guidelines. Furthermore, on the off chance that you are a traveler, it is generally best to respect the guidelines of the spot you are visiting. In any case, you can appreciate marijuana in the legal states. This is the most suitable choice.

AI, space and augmentation: the future according to a serial tech investor
For the aeronautical designer, business visionary, worldwide explorer, and Virgin Galactic future space traveler Julian Ranger, that book series was William Earl Johns' Biggles series.
There were almost 100 Biggles volumes distributed somewhere in the range of 1932 and 1999 portraying the endeavors of pilot and globe-trotter James Bigglesworth. The narratives were composed as Boy's Own experiences praising the British upsides of courage, impressive skill, and sophistication.
For Ranger, Biggles' experiences as a pilot in the Royal Air Force roused his three dreams: to work with planes, to venture to the far corners of the planet, and… all things considered, we'll get to that.
Addressing Verdict, he made sense of: "I cherished airplane so I needed to work in flying so I did a degree in aeronautical designing. I've contacted a portion of the world's quickest flies. I've done Tornado, and Eurofighter, and JSF, and Air15, large planes and little planes, and air traffic the executives."
Officer started out chipping away at the Tornado F3 contender, however it wasn't well before he was accused of incorporating an early form of the tactical web on the airplane. He guarantees that this was an especially fortunate case of being perfectly located with flawless timing:
"I turned into a world master in information and systems administration and all the other things in the tactical when there were not many other world specialists. At the point when you're fortunate, you're fortunate; and you must be a piece fortunate. However at that point you need to benefit from your karma."
By the age of 23, Ranger was at that point a world-master on the frameworks and on the ball. He before long understood that he had accepted it to the extent that he could in the military. Abandoning the job, he established Stasys, an innovation and counseling firm gaining practical experience in network correspondences and safeguard interoperability.
In 2005, Lockheed Martin — the world's greatest safeguard organization — made Ranger a proposition he was unable to afford to ignore. The business person sold Stasys for an undisclosed total and he remained on as Lockheed Martin's VP of worldwide procedure.
By 2007, Ranger decided to resign late in life of 44.
It was then that he accomplished his subsequent desire: to venture to the far corners of the planet. He and his little girl endured two years voyaging and had "an impact", as indicated by Ranger.
Subsequent to getting back to the UK, Ranger became exhausted and looked for another test. He established Digi.me, another organization pointed toward permitting clients to have more command over their own information. He likewise kept putting resources into new tech organizations.
Notwithstanding, Ranger's definitive life desire actually lies in front of him.
New skylines "The creator of Biggles likewise thought of some less great space stories," Ranger advises Verdict when we plunk down to talk about his most recent undertakings. "However, that got me into Isaac Asimov and all the other things. So I needed to go to space."
That fantasy was stirred up by the moon arrivals, which Ranger saw as they were first communicated when he was six years of age.
"We as a whole imagined that everybody would be in space. So on the off chance that you'd say I could be perhaps the earliest thousand human in space, I'd have said 'sign me up'," he adds.
In any case, it's a desire that is far from simple or easy. Initially Ranger wanted to join to be a space tourism case study as a young person. Tragically, an especially terrible mishap at 18 forestalled that. All things considered, he thinks he would likely have bombed at any rate, as everybody needed to go into space.
However, nearly when he sold his business in 2007, along came Richard Branson and his scandalous Virgin Galactic venture. He reviews:
"Branson goes along and says he will take individuals to space for $200,000 dollars. At the time it was $2.04 to the pound. So that is under £100,000. I had the cash, I'd quite recently sold my business, so I needed to purchase a pass to space. That was in 2007. We're here in 2018, I'm as yet not going to go up until the back finish of the following year or mid 2020. Simply over 100th in line."

ohhhhh i wonder how this will improve their communication 👀👀👀👀
Valentine nodded eagerly, pleased with his own quick thinking. He pointed to himself again. “My full title is Prince Valentine of the Vesper Kingdom, son of the great Robert the Third.” Valentine chuckled, amused as the little kitten only grew confused- named Sparrow of all things, how ironic for a cat.
“...Valentine?” Sparrow repeated, pointing uncertainly at Prince Valentine.
Valentine hummed, giving a nod. “Yes, I suppose just ‘Valentine’ will do, given the circumstances.” Valentine drummed his fingers on the empty barrel, still grasped in his hands. Now what? It wasn’t exactly easy to gather more information about Sparrow if the little lad wasn’t speaking.
A certain part of Valentine wasn’t certain why he was so eager to converse with Sparrow, either. After all, Sparrow was still part of the dastardly magical race keeping him captive, but a strange part of Valentine seemed to trust this little cat wasn’t currently a threat. Perhaps it had to do with finally putting a name to that teensy little face.
“Can I have that beche?” A tiny voice spoke up. Valentine blinked, surprised that this time, he seemed to comprehend almost a whole sentence. Of course, it was perhaps helped along by the fact Sparrow was pointing to the barrel, looking like a child attempting to get assistance reaching the cookie jar on the highest shelf.
Valentine chuckled at that visual, setting the barrel down in front of Sparrow. The cat figure nodded. “Parche curr.” With this bizarre declaration, Sparrow tipped over the barrel, rolling it with ease towards the tiny stairs lining Valentine’s prison.
Deciding to test his own understanding, Valentine pointed at the barrel himself. “Can I have that?”
Sparrow paused, looking back at Valentine as if he were a bit mad. For a moment, Valentine wondered if his pronunciation had been off, or perhaps the cat just thought it odd Valentine would give up the barrel and ask for it back in the same breath. It seemed the second option was more likely as Sparrow nudged the barrel forwards, rolling it towards Valentine as if to say ‘be my guest’.
Valentine grinned, Sparrow flinching back as he leaned forwards to catch the barrel. He winced for a moment, having forgotten his chains’ length as the brace pulled uncomfortably at Valentine’s wrist, the barrel just out of reach.
“Oh come on.” Valentine huffed. This was ridiculous. Valentine flattened himself to the ground, reaching out his fingertips to slowly brush the barrel closer, feeling a bit ridiculous. This position wasn’t exactly becoming of a prince, and having an audience made it worse.
So involved in his task, Valentine didn’t see Sparrow approach, coming to give Valentine a helping hand and push the barrel closer. Instead, as Valentine gave an extra lunge, wrapping his fingers around the far edge of the barrel, his fingertips brushed against something unbelievably soft-
“NO!”
Valentine frowned, only having a moment to try and feel what was pressed against the barrel before Sparrow’s frantic cries caught up with him. Valentine let go, the barrel naturally rolling towards his large boot, revealing a ruffled Sparrow on the other side.
Both boys flinched back. Valentine realized what he had touched as Sparrow frantically scurried back, brushing at the fur atop his head.
“I- I’m terribly sorry.” Valentine apologized with a wince. The Prince fought to keep any amusement from showing externally, despite the fact that watching Sparrow hiss like a proper kitten was quite the sight. “I did not intend to grab you, just the barrel. Though I must admit your fur is terribly soft. Is it fur? Oh wait, are my inquisitions rude?”
Not surprisingly, Sparrow didn’t seem to be comprehending anything Valentine was saying. The catboy seemed much more rattled from their encounter, pressing against the far wall as if to get as much distance between them as possible whilst Sparrow got his breathing back under control.
“...Sparrow?” Valentine asked. Sparrow’s eyes met his gaze immediately, responding to his name. Valentine leaned closer, frowning down at his visitor. “Are you alright?”
