Alpha Structural, Los Angeles área, https://www.alphastructural.com/
We’ve contacted Alpha Structural a few times, most recently for foundation repair and a seismic retrofit. The other companies gave us similar estimates in the $25,000 range. Alpha’s bid was over $100,000 and did not include the cost of the permits. The contract also mentioned that they would not be responsible for any damage to the house that occurred during the repair. Even worse, they made it sound like they were the only company capable of doing the job.
The other companies were licensed foundation companies, so this claim seemed ridiculous and the bid didn’t seem serious.
I contacted them for another job and they never responded.
They might be good for complicated hillside repairs. We will not be contacting them again.
3 out of 5 stars

It's supposed to be about the meeting, Magnus!
Raphael: "Everyone in favor of Magnus never being made to keep protocol of the cabinet meeting again, say aye."
Every downworld leader: "Aye."
Magnus: "I take offense to that."
Raphael: "Do you need me to read the latest one you wrote?
'The meeting, as always, began at an incredibly inconvenient time, which prevented my boyfriend and me from a quality make out session. Non-the-less, Alexander Lightwood started the discussion about unimportant statistics and looking glorious while listing incredibly boring numbers. I did not care to note them down, being distracted as I was by the tousled hair he hadn’t quite managed to tame down, before the mood killers, otherwise known as the downworld Leaders, entered the room.'"
#magnus bane#alec lightwood#malec#malec headcanons#crack#shadowhunters tv#Raphael Santiago#also I think there should be more downworld leaders than just 4?#because Luke may be alpha of the biggest werewolf clan but it's not the only one?#and the same goes for Raphael#I feel like more people should have a say in such manners#like give it two people of every faction#meliorn as the only seelie míght make sense considering how they are structured#but we could also throw in some unseelies#or other were people#why is it only werewolves?#if all the legends are true I demand more than just warlocks; vampires; werewolves and seelies

*does the 3D equivalent of doodling a big sparkly eye in the margins of your class notes*
#3D#I've never done anything at this level of detail before and just wanted to see if I could#and then gave up at the prospect of sculpting individual eyelashes lmao#but yeah it turns out this isn't even all that hard#I drew the structure of the iris in procreate beforehand to use as an alpha (basically like a stamp in clay)#and the rest was just painting and some very minor sculpting#it was fun!#I want to say maybe next time I'll do an actual sparkly anime eyeball#but from what I've seen anime style 3D art keeps the features very simple and flat#so I'd just literally be drawing it anyway and there's nothing exciting to me about that#anyway! get beheld 👁️

thinking about making a pack au where they actually stick closer to hyenas than whatever the fuck they did in that episode
bc uh he-LLO? hyenas are like... one of the BIG popular matriarchal animals and we just acted like xander was all scary now? pshh. I mean he was hyenas are scary but buffy is absolutely highest rank top dog here no wayyy he'd be all scary to her since they're already y'know a "pack" of sorts. like I'm pretty sure he'd still defer to her. plus willow! her making friends with buffy first and just generally being a girl he'd rank below her as well (though I do wonder where his stance with giles would be)
and I get that xander already sorta had a new clan with the other possessed kids but even then why was HE at the top of that hierarchy?? in fact it was so barely structured at all I'm only assuming xander was a high rank bc he's just one of our mains. and the shot of them all walking ofc where he was front and center I can read basic filmmaking choices lol
but also hyenas have FRIENDS! they have cliques and groups within their own clan. isn't that so cool? why did they just disregard xander's friendship with the scoobies? I think the fact xander had friends and quite loyal ones is like important? I mean okay I suppose it's all he's in this clan now he's cut ties with the scoobies, but to me at least I think that's kinda boring haha. though actually even if xander had the support of the scoobies, with how that clan were already a group before xander and not with xander at all, he'd actually probably be like real goddamn low anyways instead of more equal like it was shown
look I really have no idea about any of this I've just been looking up hyena facts for the past hour bc I thought it was neat. I simply think they should've done more with this instead of oo look xander's all feral and evil when they literally chose hyena to be their animal. like ooookay then whateverrrr lame
#they should've just done wolves or smth why the hell did they pick hyenas if they weren't even gonna play with their more unique structure#btw PACK? not CLAN? guys seriously re see above they just wanted to be different while still riding off of wolf girls#buffy IS the leader. highest of the high. top rank here. she's the alpha female since that is apparently what they're called lol#I just don't see why xander would Act like he did in that episode if we we're going off of hyenas and not some other predator#even if we go off the idea he broke ties with the scoobs as outsider females I think both wils and buff r still doing better than him#ANYWAYS. that's my two cents this episode was silly and I wish they'd had more fun playing with the animal they chose#someone with more spotted hyena knowledge should talk to me I'd LOVE to learn more I think these animals are so fucking cool#xander harris#btvs#buffy the vampire slayer#alright I did a little more googling and interesting! xander and wil might outdo buffy in the whole friendship department#so I THINK their clan WOULD have a far more level playing field simply because of how close everyone is. neat neat neat!#but buffy could still kick their asses be fr

not really much into a/b/o AUs but a perfect court a/b/o AU? that’d be kind of fun I think…
#unearthed this from my drafts and thought “yea why the hell not”#riko would be the only omega in a perfect court full of alphas because i think that would give him#an insufferable sense of superiority#like the society they live in is in general still looks down upon omegas but in the nest the power structure is reversed by design#huh apparently i have more thoughts on this than i thought…#aftg

how goes your wip
The bad news is, werewolf wip is on hold because I have lost control of my life.
The good news is, I am almost done with the reason I lost control of my life. the worse news is that it's aob:
“Jason, what is this?”
Jason looks up at Tim from across the kitchen table in Wayne Manor, brows scrunched and mouth twisting around his own mouthful of omelet in a grumpy frown. He doesn’t bother swallowing first, and bits of egg fly out when he replies.
“The fuck’s it look like?”
Tim eyes him, kinda grossed out, but mostly confused. It’s too early for this. “It looks like you made me breakfast?”
Jason looks between Tim and the frankly beautiful ham-and-mushroom omelet steaming on the plate he’d put down in front of Tim about two minutes ago. Tim had been so absorbed in his coffee and waking up, that he hadn’t quite clocked it at first. That it was very likely meant to be for him.
“If you don’t want it—” Jason says, a weird note in his voice as he reaches out.
Tim hauls the plate in close, grabbing the fork and hunching over it protectively. “That���s not what I said.”
#i am delighted by this fic but also meeting werewolf fic behind the bleachers and frantically saying 'babe it's not like that'#'shes just a oneshot i swear! yeah she's already over 7k but come on! you know it's not serious! not like it is with you...'#i've been seduced by the 5ish+1 structure and the siren song of a trope i've never written before and can think of as werewolf-lite#also werewolf fic is from tim's perspective and suprise: he's not the werewolf. i don't get to write weird scent stuff in the narrative :(#but aob fic...i get to write weird scent stuff in the narrative >:)#aob fic features beta tim because this world deserves more beta tim x alpha jason content#i read a fic with a similar premise and went “HM. i wanna expand on this”#felinemotif#asked and answered#my writing#jaytim#thanks for the check in <3

🐺 The Thatcher Family - original work
[template by the lovely @unholymilf]
#oc insp: jayde thatcher#oc insp: skye thatcher#oc insp: andrea thatcher#oc insp: tristan thatcher#as soon as I saw this template I wanted to make something for them#my fav aesthetic is yeehaw werewolves and that’s what they had going on before everything went bad….#Andrea loved her horses and Tristan loved his moo cows and Skye loved her chickens 😔#Jayde was just happy to help out with barn chores#and every full moon they would shift and run together#Tristan and Andrea made the girls’ first shifts extra special too#if things hadn’t gone to shit they probably would have had more kids too#but Tristan be dead as hell……..#and Jayde witnessed it at 16 and blames herself#and werewolves mate for life so Andrea won’t and doesn’t want to find love again#I’d say Skye was lucky cause she got dropped off at a family friend pack#but their alpha is a peace of work and she viewed Skye as a prize because it was assumed she was the last of her line#and that alpha is VERY old fashioned and is obsessed with purebred bloodlines and pack hierarchies#a very archaic way of thinking with a lot of modern wolves#but they also have long lifespans so there’s some werewolf Boomers out there#ok I need to stop rambling but I have put SO much thought into how werewolf societal structures work in my original work lmao

Sometimes I do have the urge to make an omegaverse sideblog because I think I could do quite well and as a bonus it would be a fantastic way to advocate about the family structure of wolves and change some people’s knowledge from the outdated alpha theory to the actual pack structure observed by biologists while still working within an understandable medium
#I also think the knowledge that the wild wolves are quite family oriented irl#and don’t follow the alpha structure that was seen in captive wolves#could lend itself to how omegaverse tends to be quite familial#I have to do more wolf research and might go down a rabbit hole but i was reading stuff by a professor who’s also a wolf researcher#and it was fascinating

I regret to inform you all that the Thai race car BL show set in the omegaverse is not, in fact, set in the omegaverse
#this knowledge is hard won#i warched the first two eps and did some research#they have alphas and alpha powers / scents#but no betas or omegas#and thus not the a/b/o structure and society that forms the backbone of the omegaverse#so idk#do with that what you will#pit babe

Nobody on the internet talks about wolves in a way that is normal
#they either alpha male-itize them or they prescribe human sociak structures on them#like the two ways of looking at wolves according to People Online is either We (humans) are the wolf or they (the wolf) are humans#both of which are factually incorrect and the most boring way to interact with them#its infuriating#i saw this one post that was like 'wolves have nuanced social structures they arent just alpha males. for example... and then peoceeded#to talk about the nuclear family structure of wolves with a game of thrones bent using words like 'sought revenge' and 'planned' and#(i shit you not) 'led with the philosophy of'#like ok. well you are also wrong. because wolves arent people they dont plan executions#to take revenge on all the dead wolf pups or whatever#postings

Even after 11 years, I'm not sure I'm ready for 7 days to die to leave alpha testing. It's too soon
#I don't know man it's just funny at this point that it's still alpha versions#but apparently it'll release properly next month??#i'm not ready#been playing it since it first came out#especially because the server my dad and I have been working on will be wiped *sigh*#not that we haven't had to start over hundreds of times due to yknow *alpha* problems#still remember when the most viable survival option during horde night was to just climb a fucking hill#because it confused them so much that they never made it up to you#now they'll charge at you and climb through windows and locate the weakest link in your structure#they're scary and I love them for it#my mother hates when we video call to play because jump scares makes my dad screech and I've perfected sounding like a zombie#7 days to die#anyway enough nostalgia posting for today

Heat, for example, breaks apart hydrogen bonds, so boiling a protein destroys its α-helical and β-pleated sheet structures.
