william billiam wisp :) (I have now reached ep 17)

(as of writing this I was just sleeper activated by the use of chicory music in the podcast, 10/10 game, only one i’ve ever 100%ed)

anyways I am Back, and still insane! I drew an entire William reference while listening to PD and then I got to the part where Tide told them they are getting new hero outfits! This artpiece will be a Sisyphian task!

I have been spelling wisp with an h and ash with an e. My brain simply could not cope with word names it had to make them Wacky.

Dakota coming in clutch with the shapeshifting sword??!??!? (i am still a little salty because the sword earring was Such a cool character design thing…)

dodgeboy is such a freak i love him. he is a million years old and het he maintains his youthful vigor. (frankly i think he deserves a good retirement at this point, he had to watch like three different people get cut in half)

I continue to go feral about William. He’s just a regular guy! Just a normal dude! So normal! (lying!)!

Design-wise I think he’d be the tallest of the group, for Maximum Ragdoll Potential (and maximum “oh damn he used to be just a little guy and now he’s so far separated from his past self Wuh Woh”). I gave him the bag for a practical place to store his notes, on top of a little bit more character expression (hoodie and sweatpants are indicative of his character. but. sometimes I feel I am legally obligated to include more than one color in a design). It’d probably be a holdover from when he was younger, a bit singed from lack of control over the wisps, but still durable enough to haul through battle. The pins are a later addition; I think Dakota probably saw the ghost, got excited, and gifted it to William without realizing it was the ghostbusters logo. After that, either William added the other two for cohesion, or Vincent accrued more debt buying pins for the bag.

MY FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY!! COW’S PD THOUGHTS!

THE MUSIC IN PD GOES UNEQUIVOCALLY HARD DUDE

THE BACKGROUND MUSIC THEY PLAY AND THE FREAKING MUSICAL INTROS

Nah bro the sword earring would’ve gone hard, but the 8th wonder of the world is also wicked so I’m not too pressed over it

Bro I need to watch the oneshot I’ve heard wonderful things about dodgeboy, he looks like a fucked up amalgamation of caillou and Clifford the big red dog

Welcome to the club of average normal typical William enjoyers

looks at skittlebug

Honestly thinking about frighteningly lanky wiwi kinda makes sense

Like vertically stretched png type shit

I love his bag so dearly I need to either have it or be it

Picturing him swinging around his bag in a battle like link

Also I’ve decided it’s now canon that Dakota and Vyncent just find/buy shit to put on his bag, that’s adorable

#bandit’s words #bandit’s visiting hours #jrwi prime defenders #william wisp #have I said that I love your art before #I don’t remember #I LOVE YOUR ART BRO #ATTACKS YOU #HIS FREAKING WISP FORM???#the investigatorrrr…..#picturing him going into his wisp form and then just kicking his shoes off #ALSO HE IS FOR SURE A PENCIL CRUNCHER #JEREMYY!!#I LOVE YOU JEREMY!!#he is never mentioned again #dw he gets another animal sidekick #can’t wait for the next cow pd essay #also I’m starting my s2 rewatch soon so we’ll be watching it around the same time! yippee!!

BT’s share price and 6.5% yield make it my buy of the decade

If you want your portfolio results to beat the market average, then you have to do something different.

Today, I want to explain why the BT Group (LSE: BT-A) share price looks like a buying opportunity to me at current levels. I’m also going to take a look at a FTSE 250 stock that’s fallen from grace. This business looks very cheap, but the outlook is rather uncertain.

Number crunchers are worried

The BT share price has fallen by more than 50% from its 2015 peak of almost 500p. One of the main reasons for this is the firm’s lack of growth. Even the acquisition of mobile operator EE hasn’t reignited sales growth. Revenue has fallen since 2017, a trend that’s expected to continue this year. As a general rule, if sales are falling, it’s very hard for a company to deliver reliable profit growth.

A second concern is that the group’s financial obligations might force new chief executive Philip Jansen to cut the dividend. Although the group’s net debt of £11.1bn isn’t excessive in itself, it’s more of a concern when added to the group’s £5bn pension deficit and hefty spending commitments.

Why I’ve bought BT

I’ve bought BT shares for my long-term income portfolio. The obvious attraction is the stock’s forecast dividend yield of 6.7%. If the payout isn’t cut, this should provide me with a market-beating cash income.

However, I think there’s a significant risk the payout will be cut, perhaps by one third. This would leave the shares with a yield of about 4.3%, in line with the FTSE 100 average. I’m prepared to accept this risk in exchange for the opportunity to profit from a successful turnaround.

New boss Jansen will issue his first set of results on 9 May. If he’s going to cut the dividend, I’d expect a decision then. We should also find out more about his plans for the firm. I expect a continued focus on cost savings and more cautious spending on sports television, but a surprise change of strategy is possible.

I’ve pencilled that date into my diary. In the meantime, I continue to rate the shares as a buy.

Could this fashion firm unravel?

Fashion/lifestyle retailer Ted Baker (LSE: TED) has a long and successful history of expansion. But the firm’s share price has halved since the start of 2018 amid slowing growth and allegations relating to the conduct of founder Ray Kelvin.

Kelvin denied all allegations of misconduct, but resigned on 4 March. As a result of his departure, the company has decided not to reveal the results of an independent investigation into the allegations against him.

What we do know is that the group’s latest results show underlying pre-tax profit fell by 14.3% to £63m last year, despite a 4.4% rise in sales. This fall in profit margins seems to have been caused by higher levels of discounting in “challenging trading conditions.”

I had assumed that Ted Baker’s mid-market appeal would protect it from the high street meltdown. But now I’m not sure. I’m also concerned about how the company will perform without its founder — Kelvin ran the business for more than 30 years.

The shares look good value on 12 times forecast earnings, with a 4.3% yield. But I’m going to wait until we know more before deciding whether to invest.
