I have to say, Charlotte Brandström's last words about Galadriel and her love for Halbrand makes me even angrier about the finals than I was before. I know I should take it as a "win!" but honestly I just feel trolled.
Because what she says about Galadriel's feelings, we saw nothing of that. She was destabilized for less than 5 sec seeing Halbrand. And these words about Sauron "really loving Galadriel"? We saw nothing of that either. I mean, I have a theory about this that I have expressed in my last post about episode 8, but I have no hope whatsoever that it will ever be proven true. They would have just said it by now.
So, unless the writers of season 2 are really a bunch of incompetent who don't know how to express characters' feelings otherwise than by having them fight mercilessly, or Charlotte's trolling us because she's told to, because Amazon is starting to realize that they fucked up big time.
I don't see any middle ground between these two options, really.
Charlie said that Sauron didn't just kill her because he wanted to "have a conversation" with her. Is the conversation in the room with us? What happened to this idea?
Now imagine if they had had them *talk*. Sauron forces her to listen and confront the hard cold truth that Halbrand was not entirely an act, that the part of him she fell for was the true part of him he showed her, and that she has to accept that her feelings for him were an echo of her own darkness.
Galadriel's destabilized, confused even, she says he broke her heart and she misses him and hates herself for that, he proposes her again, she almost gives in, then decides there's a line she can't cross despite her feelings, and rejects him.
Only THEN, Sauron stabs her with the Morgoth crown in an ultimate, desperate attempt to keep her with him always, bound to him by blood and dark magic.... And then she jumps.
I think the reactions to this finals would have been much less different if they had done something like that. We would have all been much more excited for season 3 if they had let Sauron and Galadriel TALK.
So yeah no sorry, I'm happy you're happy but I don't find the heart to consider Charlotte Brandström's declaration as a "win". They had Al the cards to make it right, and they ruined it.

tuesday again 5/21/2024
get a load of this cat
listening
one of my favorite bands, Joywave, dropped a new album last week! it is not my favorite album of theirs but so it goes. perhaps it needs more time to grow on me. Sleepytime Fantasy kicks off my favorite section of the album. video game enchanted ice cave dream sequence music.
youtube
i must stay true to my own rules for this series (not a rec series, genuinely what i've been into the most this week) and the song that's been on loop all week is a genshin impact character's theme music (punchy wolf-coded ice cop who is the duke of the prison he. runs? administers? don't worry about it). unfortunately a bop. the character music lately has been a lot more modern and experimental than i expected? this one has a police siren drop
youtube

reading
thank you mackintosh.
i really, really enjoyed Trouble And Her Friends by Melissa Scott (LAMBDA award winner 1995)! @delta-orionis and i frequently ask ourselves "what if neuromancer was good?" and this scratches that itch for me. it is often difficult for me to take neuromancer's protagonist henry seriously, but this book features a pair of extremely practical dykes. it opens on the passing of a new american law criminalizing big swathes of online activity, passed despite a presidential veto. description from amazon
Less than a hundred years from now, the forces of law and order crack down on the world of the computer nets. The hip, noir adventurers who get by on wit, bravado, and drugs, and haunt the virtual worlds of the Shadows of cyberspace, are up against the encroachments of civilization. It's time to adapt or die. India Carless, alias Trouble, got out ahead of the feds and settled down to run a small network for an artist's co-op. Now someone has taken her name and begun to use it for criminal hacking. So Trouble returns. Once the fastest gun on the electronic frontier, she had tried to retire-but has been called out for one last fight. And it's a killer.
this startled me by how fun and competent it is! i tried reading one of the author's books last year (Dreamships) and had a miserable time with the pacing and flow of information. there are echoes of the pacing issues i had with the last book-- this is a nearly four hundred page hardcover, we have a lot of Next Locations to go to, and we are going to take our fucking time getting there. a road trip book, rather than a destination book. Scott has gotten way way better at fleshing out those locations— an artists' co-op has their skylights set to amber to hide the wear and tear on everything in their central hangout space when the feds show up. i also connected with the inciting incident way more-- someone stealing a female hacker’s name and style is instantly relatable. i am riding shotgun with Trouble. i am ready to throw down with her.
it's a very physical book in many ways, bc it has three brief sex scenes, is very concerned with sensuality in both senses of the word, and overall it's like the background in an anime that’s full of dials and buttons and little blinky lights. written in 1994, fascjnating how much concepts of VR and sensory inputs have not changed, but everyone still has the equivalent of an enormous old school desktop and giant CRT monitors set up. everyone is constantly lugging around so much physical tech. the stuff that makes you better at hacking in the net is quick reactions to VR sensations, the only way to get that cutting edge sensation is to get a physical chip or “worm” in your head, and the only people who do that are the core outcasts and freaks of the internet (the gays, the women, the people of color, the all three, presumably the furries as well). from that day to this…
there's an interesting contrast between Trouble and her old partner Cerise stalking the virtual reality bazaars/being queens of the BBS undergrounds, and the danger they feel and face when moving about in the real world. some reviewers are very cranky about how negotiations on and offline feel the same but i did not feel this particular quibble. communication is communication. it is known both on and offline that they're 1) women and 2) lesbians. they're in less physical danger online but slurs can still happen no matter where they are. also, i am well used to the necessity of having to posture and peacock and be kind of a bitch to establish myself in order to get anything done in coding/hardware scenes, which is something i don't think any of the male reviewers of the day ever had to think about.
some cowboy shit goes down at the end that had me hooting and hollering, and Scott handled the hacking scenes in an interesting way-- a sort of abstracted duel? terrific "fight" scenes. very interesting at how she will move things around in order to treat scenes in ways she's good at-- like establishing very grounded locations that feel real, physical sensations, and fight scenes-- instead of just kind of slogging through a very surface level high-overview travelogue like in her last book. ive been stuck on a fic chapter for like four years and this is making me think about doing it the fun way instead of the way i thought it should be done. this may be obvious but i am an amateur and more importantly an idiot.
this was a $6/1 book special last year at one of my favorite thrift stores, a religious shop with the absolute worst vibes in the greater houston area but some of the best stuff
-
watching
Five Dolls For An August Moon (1970, dir. Brava). sometimes you see a cool title on kanopy and you don't have a better way to kill an hour and a half. plus it had some guys i know from cowboys. tw for a suicide's body in the first fucking ten seconds of the trailer, which is a weird trailer choice bc u don't actually see most of the murders in the movie.
ive watched a fuck of a lot of spaghetti westerns so i feel i am somewhat qualified to tell you this is one of the worst dubs ive ever seen. the lines actors are quarter-heartedly delivering do not always make a lot of sense and only occasionally match the subtitles. i am assuming this is the original dub, bc kino lorber generally does a pretty okay job restoring things?
youtube
this is not a good movie (extremely troubled production, director swap three days before filming, made on a shoestring budget, the actors mostly wore their own clothes, etc). it is not very good at maintaining tension, because it is a film that first and foremost Looks. beautiful fucking sets, beautifully decorated. the exterior is a matte painting, a sort of frothy dream-bubble of sixties architecture. most of the interiors are apparently a real house. incredible experimental burbling soundtrack full of Weird Sounds.
sorry about the tubi interface and our old friend the activate windows logo.
there are so many fun directorial flourishes and staging, but it does get a little wrapped up in itself. this made me think of The Secret of NIMH, a beautifully animated talking-animal film that gave me nightmares as a child, where the animation tricks and sparkles and moving parts sort of all get in each other's way to produce something less than the sum of its parts. this sort of happens here. i'm going to yoink this from a review:
Bava’s eye for exquisite compositions is equally evident. One scene in particular stands out in this regard: The filmmaker shoots an otherwise humdrum fistfight through wooden latticework that breaks the action up into an abstracted mosaic effect. The fight culminates with a table being upended, which in turn unleashes a myriad crystal spheres. The camera follows along as the spheres tumble and cascade down a spiral staircase and roll across a tiled floor before plopping like so many bath bubbles into a tub. The scene concludes with the revelation of a recently deceased character caught in what you’d have to call a tableau morte. It’s a dazzlingly orchestrated sequence, easily on par with more famous Bava set pieces.
it's gorgeous! there's also So Much going on. another lovely bit of business: as each person dies they get wrapped in plastic sheeting and put in the walkin freezer. next to slabs of beef. not a subtle film, and i don't mean it as a diss, bc where's the fuckin fun in that?
-
playing
i have not been doing much of anything here except listen to podcasts and work toward the two-thousand-fish-caught achievement in genshin. impatiently waiting for Clorinde to be released in several weeks. that one button needs a raise. it is So funny to see genshin characters with fucking guns. very sword and pike based societies so far
-
making
every time i have tried to make one of these samplers for Me it's gone horribly wrong or been somehow destroyed so i'm making this one for my brother's upcoming birthday, bc he will have off-campus housing next academic year, in an attempt to peacefully do some fucking cross stitch and get something out at the end of it. pattern here on etsy

⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟⍟
2 days before
I was scrolling on tiktok and came across a video of this girl pranking her boyfriend with sex chocolate. She gave them to him before he went off to football practice then waited for his reaction.I opened up amazon, placing an order for the chocolates.
today
I spent the whole day watching the front door so Bella wouldn’t get to the door when the package came. Currently she on her game so even if it did she most definitely wouldn’t know.
bella❤️🪐
mama can you get me when it’s like
5, i have practice tonight??
*me*
ofc baby
I opened the door to see the small box on the front porch. i brought it inside., opening it and inspecting the purple pretty wrapping, i hid the box behind a small plant, walking into the living room lightly tapping my girl’s shoulder. “Yes?” she moves her headphones off her ears, “ it’s 5 sweetheart, go get ready.” She smiles up at me, getting off the couch and disappearing into our bedroom.
“What’s that babe?” she rests her chin on my shoulder looking and the chocolate. “ chocolate. want some?” i ask holding it in front of her face. She took it, giving me a kiss “i got to go baby. i love you “ she yelled from the front door. “I love you too, drive safe!”
a hour later
bella❤️🪐
*1 attempts sent*
I click on the video, expecting to see a short glimpse of her shooting a three pointer or something. I was wrong.
The image of Bella sitting on the floor of one of the locker room showers, half naked, fills my screen. "Hey." she says with nervously laughter . "Um, we just got out of practice, and the locker room's empty. I keep getting weird feelings— well, I'll just show you, I guess."
She spreads her legs, and pulls off her practice jersey to reveal her perky nipples. "1, uh, didn't have time to put on a bra."
i roll my eyes,”bullshit.”
She brings a shaky hand up to mess her left nipple, immediately letting out a small gasp. The touch leaves her pussy clenching around nothing.
Continuing to play with her nipple, she drops her right hand down, using her middle and ring fingers to rub quick circles on her clit.
"Oh, god." She whines, a string of slick dripping from her needy hole onto the tile floor. "W-wanna feel you inside me," She whimpers, "need you s'bad, mama." she continues, now using her right hand to play with her other nipple.
Her thighs shake as she throws her head back, the sound of her whimpers echoing around the empty locker room. "F-fuck. Can I cum, please?
N-need'ta cum, ma." Bella begs to the camera.
A few seconds later she lets out a high pitched whine, throwing her hand down to rub quick circles on her clit as she squirts out cum. "Mm, do you see me cumming for you? Fuck, wish you were here, 'm cumming so hard-"
The video turns off.
*me*
you on your way home?
bella❤️🪐
yea
*me*
good.
I hear her car speed into the driveway, listening to the front slam shut with uneven steps up to the bedroom door way. I sit on my bed in a sports bra and grey sweatpants watching her mouth fall open when she opens the door.
"Please, please, touch me." she falls into my lap kicking her shoes, pants and underwear off. "Need it so bad, please." She continues, taking my hand and bringing it to rub circles on her clit.
"Couldn't wait for practice to end, could you?" i smile at her, slipping a finger into her cunt and lazily fucking her for a few seconds before pulling out.
"N-no, mmph, needed you so-" she’s cut off by her own moan as i maneuver her to lay on her back, bending her knees to her chest.
"Hold these here for me, okay?" I mutter, leaning down to her cunt. “Bet you taste good baby." I bring your tongue down to her clit, flicking over it. "Fuck, ma, 'm so wet for you." Bella whines using one of her hands to play with her still sensitive nipples, and the other tangles in my hair, pushing my face closer to her.
"Be patient, sweetheart ." i say, but not even a few seconds later using two of my fingers to spread her folds, taking her in.
While managing to keep eye contact with her, i flatten my tongue against her hole, licking from her hole to her clit, and then burying myself in her.
i ravage her pussy, not letting any drop of her previous cum and current slick go to waste. "Taste so good for me, baby." i murmur, prodding the tip of my tongue against her clenching hole.
"Oh, go- please, please!" she cries out, squeezing her eyes shut. "Eyes on me." i say, and once she meets your eyes, I started fucking her cunt with my tongue.
"Oh my goodness, pleasepleaseplease!" She pleads, "gonna cum, gonna cum so hard for you, mama pl-*
The band in her stomach snaps when I bring my hand up to pinch her nipple, and Bella’s cum covers my face, chest, and her own thighs as she moans loudly, squirting.
"FUCK, ohmygosh, too much-" she slurs when i pull away, still pinching at her nipples.Chuckling, I pull her into my lap , taking out her ponytail and combing your fingers through her hair.
“So was the chocolate good?” i giggled at her. “ wait what??” she asks, picking up the wrapper on the nightstand and looking at the label. “Babe and you serious” she turned around playfully pushing my shoulder laughing with me. “ Did you you like it?” i rubbed her back. “i mean next time let me use it on you” i got up the get a rag to clean her up and some clothes for her.

Top Gun Hangster Masterlist
Fanfiction:
Each Piece of Your Body That It Takes
Rating: E
Summary: It's a random Thursday, nearly three in the afternoon, when Bradley gets a text from Jake. He's wrapping up a small magazine shoot on location when the notification comes in on his watch. It wouldn't be a surprise to see it if they hadn't made plans in the morning, and, as far as Bradley knows, Jake doesn't have anything going on that might have changed those.

Honey, There is No Right Way
Rating: M
Summary: "Now, you don't have to accept it, Jake, you really don't, but-" Something touches the base of Jake's throat. Bradley's hands draw back, and the thickest part of his palms slide around Jake's nape to meet at the top of his spine. "I thought you might like it."
Part 5 of imagine being loved by me Series
Anti-Camera Shy
Rating: M
Summary: "Look," Jake says, sighing as he pulls his arm across his chest to stretch out the taxed muscle of his shoulder. His words falter when a shadow appears in the doorway of his gym room, a body leaning casually against the frame, familiar and amused eyes watching him with a quirked brow. It kicks up something hot in Jake's belly. He can't stop himself from smirking, forcing himself to refocus on the phone before someone realizes he's distracted and starts asking questions he doesn't want to answer. "He's gonna have his opinions all he wants, the wrong ones, mind you, but I'm not gonna let him ruffle my feathers because he thinks street tacos beat out Gumbo Shack."
Cuddle Bug in Training
Rating: T
Summary: "I'm not dating any psychopaths this time, Nat, promise," Bradley says, trying for lightness but only managing something so tired he's surprised he hadn't yawned the whole way through. Natasha snorts, her arms unfolding, but the look on her face remains painfully unimpressed.
Suitable Replacement
Rating: E
Summary: It's the middle of mid-term hell week, Jake's vibrator is broken, and the fastest Amazon can get him a new one is after the weekend. His only salvation seems to be the newest sex shop in town and the weirdest, hottest clerk Jake's ever seen.
Extra Credit
Rating: T
Summary: "I'm going to kill him," Bradley seethes, stomping into the teacher's lounge and briskly cutting across the room to get to the fridge where his lunch is waiting.
Crossing the Drift
Rating: T
Summary: How do you rationalize that the end of the world has been canceled? Bradley manages one breath at a time.
Gonna Make Your Home My Bed and Heart
Rating: E
Summary: Jake's stomach hurts, his eyes are watering, and there's an ache in his jaw as he holds a hand over his mouth, trying his hardest to stifle the donkey-like laughter spilling out of him. He'd had to push himself away from the table when doubling over was impossible to stop, and can feel, even as echoing laughter surrounds him, Bradley's hard stare. When Jake manages to open his eyes, looking up as he wipes the tears from them, the brunet is glaring.
I'll Be Home for Christmas (And I'll be Making it Your Problem)
Rating: T
Summary: Javy is scrolling past their local college's "Personals" page, seeing if they can find students they know enough to make harmless jokes at, when an apparent ad stops them both.
ART COMMISSION
Find Out How I'm Imaginin' You
Rating: E
Summary: Jake knows he should blow Bradley off again, come up with some excuse, anything, but he thinks about it too long, stares at the words, and without true thought, his fingers are moving, typing out a response and taking the choice out of his hands.
Part 4 of imagine being loved by me Series
Top Cut
Rating: T
Summary: Who knew going to a new (ridiculously hot) hairdresser could send Jake reeling? Certainly not him.
Honey Don't Feed Me, I Will Come Back
Rating: M
Summary: Jake responds by slowly lowering himself to his knees, arms behind his back. He only stumbles a bit, the tightness in his ears making him just on the wrong side of imbalanced. Jake knows Bradley catches the uncharacteristic fumble, his brow creasing, and Jake curses internally.
Part 3 of imagine being loved by me Series
Come Back Anytime
Rating: E
Summary: "I love this song." He finishes the rest of his drink with a long swallow and pretends not to see Bradley track the movement with barely parted lips and an enraptured expression forming at having been so effortlessly cut off.
Part 2 of imagine being loved by me Series
But Here We Are
Rating: T
Summary: More than self-confidence and swagger, Jake was raised on forgone conclusions. His family is Miliary legacy, so naturally, Jake would be too. Flying felt like breathing, so Jake would make it a part of his life since air is required for living. And ultimately, he and Bradley Bradshaw are both full of so much pride and ego it doesn't make room for anything more, so nothing more will happen.
The Halloween Special
Rating: E
Summary: "Bradley?" Jake calls out, getting a hand on the knob even as his heart rate spikes. The sound of sliding limbs and another hard thump make Jake's choice for him. Without further announcement, he throws open the bathroom door, only faintly sure he's prepared for what's behind.
You're Welcome
Rating: E
Summary: "Thought we agreed you weren't gonna let it get this bad." Javy's tone is soft and accusatory but in a way that Jake knows how to handle.
Part 1 of imagine being loved by me Series
Your Day
Rating: T
Summary: Some of that oppressive atmosphere lifts from Jake's shoulders as he catches the scent of old spice and pine, Bradley's mustache tickling the skin of his throat when he brushes a gentle kiss there. They stand together for a few minutes, breathing each other in before the brunet pulls back, pecking Jake twice on the lips before taking his hand.
56 Dollar Facial
Rating: E
Summary: He cannot be fucking serious. Except... except Bradley pulls out one, two, three twenty-dollar bills, looking at them for a moment in consideration before meeting Jake's eyes again.
Shut Up and Take It
Rating: E
Summary: "C'mon, Hangman, ask me sweet like, and I'll make you see stars." Bradley's voice is a deep purr. Jake can feel it in his bones.
Must Have Been the Mistletoe
Rating: G
Summary: Bradley hadn't thought trying to arrange a fourteen-person Christmas party would be so hard. He supposes he should have known better, given the summer barbeque debacle a few months prior and the Thanksgiving disaster that had just happened at Ice and Mav's. Still, he'd been under some impression that the Christmas spirit would make the majority of his friends (his family, really) more manageable. By the fourth phone call in as many as two hours, Bradley is contemplating faking his death and having the entire thing called off.
Raincheck
Rating: E
Summary: "We don't have to," Jake says against the shell of Bradley's ear, "and if we do, we can just call it a one-off, a couple of life-affirming orgasms between friendly rivals?" Jake's fingers press right beneath his belly button, and Bradley's head tips even further to rest on Jake's shoulder. The sound punching out of his lungs breathless. Jake still doesn't push.
I Won't Stop Running
Rating: M
Summary: "What? You said you were heading somewhere, didn't wanna give me the exact location, so sure, I've got a shotgun with no passenger and snacks that'll get us from here to Texas." When Bradley continues to stand there, with no response other than a widening of his eyes and slackening of his jaw, Jake takes two steps forward, close but not crowding into Bradley's space. "So, what'da say Bradshaw? Wanna come see the lone star state with me?"
I'll Kneel for You
Rating: E
Summary: "You look good," Bradley rasps the familiar words across the skin of his throat, nose dragging along to inhale the sharp scent of musk and jet fuel. And as practiced as their song and dance is, Bradley doesn't let Hangman pick up where he usually does. Instead, Bradley swipes his tongue in one long stripe from his pulse to the shell of his ear and pulls Hangman back against his chest, the other man going easily, gasping and sinking against him. "Best damn thing I've ever seen."
Take Off
Rating: G
Summary: Jake is what the man's name tag reads when Bradley is able to force his eyes down. And if he gets a little lost, mapping what contours of the man's chest he can see beneath his uniform, that's between Bradley and no one else. Except... maybe Jake too, because when Bradley forces his eyes back up, the blonde is smirking, all amused. It's the kind of look someone has when they know they're attractive and are aware the person staring is thinking that same.
Feels Like the First Time
Rating: E
Summary: "I want to have sex with Bradley Bradshaw."
Megaphone Serenade
Rating: G
Summary: Jake knew about Bradley Bradshaw. Bob was friends with him; they shared a choir class, and Bradley helped with some jazz performances if they were down a keys player. But he’d never really noticed the other boy before.
Lions and Tigers and...Vultures?
Rating: G
Summary: As much as he can admit to himself that it's interesting, being inside the different enclosures, it's also not something that's done lightly. Still… Bradley can see the excitement poorly masked in Jake's expression, he's heard the other man talk about his cats like they're common house pets, and he wants to share that with Bradley just a little.
We're Only Mortals
Rating: T
Summary: "Jake," Maverick, even far away, sounds strict but mercifully calm. So very unlike how Jake is suddenly feeling. "I need you to take a deep breath and tell me what exactly is going on." Jake doesn't know if he can do that, his brain echoing over and over that he needs to get to the hospital, that nothing else matters. But training comes with the panic too. He's been taught how to push down the adrenaline and fear and work through the problem. It's probably the only thing keeping Jake from stumbling.
If You Have to Leave, Just Come Back
Rating: T
Summary: Bradley might have been doing fine, but he wasn't exactly doing good.
Adrenaline Rush
Rating: T
Summary: Bradley has been flying for years now. Half as long as he's been alive, he's been in a cockpit, sometimes in the driver's seat and sometimes not. Never before, though, regardless of the mission or the training exercise, has Bradley ever come so close to death. And he'd been quite literally shot out of the sky not three hours prior.
Don't Joke
Rating: G
Summary: Jake thinks he probably shouldn't have underestimated Bradley so much when he'd "accidentally" initiated the start of a seemingly harmless prank war.
Let's Trade Vows
Rating: G
Summary: “You ready for this, Bradshaw?” Bradley finds her eyes on him in the mirror and nods. He tucks his piece of paper into his suit jacket and gives himself a final once-over. He looks as good as he’s going to get. A chime from Natasha’s phone draws his attention away, regardless. She’s smirking down at the screen, and when her eyes meet his, he already knows what she’s going to say. “Showtime. The bride is on his way.”
Paw in Paw
Rating: T
Summary: "Look, are you gonna help or not? Cause I didn't drive twenty minutes outside of town just to let this dog die, okay?" He knows he's not being exactly fair. It's fifteen minutes past nine, and he's pretty sure when he clicked on the clinic's navigation on google, it had said they were closing soon. But Bradley's also just come off a ten-hour shift, and the anxiety of having a potentially dying animal in his back seat as he'd broken one or three speeding laws wasn't improving his mood much.
Sunny-Side Up
Rating: G
Summary: "Don't stop on my account," Bradley's voice is a sleep-deep rumble against Jake's spine, mustache tickling Jake's naked shoulder as he presses a kiss to his skin.
Podfic:

Spirituality of the Sikh Scriptures of India (Adi Granth, Gurbani, Guru Granth, Satgurus) - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast
Essential Key Teachings According to the Satgurus in the Sikh Scriptures, the Guru Granth
1) Living Masters Having Living Disciples - The Need For The Living Satguru and For Initiation Into the Meditation Practice
"There can be no jnana (true knowledge) without meeting a Master-soul, nor meditation without a first-hand experience." (Guru Arjan Dev, Bhairon M5)
“Meet a Satguru and take his initiation. Surrender thine all and peep within.” (Guru Nanak, Gauri M1)
"Prays Nanak, But for Society of the Saints, the whole world is false." (Gopal Singh translation)
"In the Guru-given Gnosis is contained the wealth of the Lord’s Name, and the Lord’s Name, the Guru imprints in the man’s mind." (Manmohan Singh translation)
“In utter darkness, the Master’s Word (Guru-Mantra) shines forth into Light. In the company of the Master, all are rescued and saved.” (Guru Arjan Dev, Gond M5)
“The Master has given me the perfect Word or Mantra.” (Guru Arjan Dev, Bhairon M5)
2) Surat Shabd Yoga, in Meditation Hearing the Unstruck Melody of the Sound Current (Anhad Shabd, Naam, Nada According to the Sikh Scriptures)
Living Masters have always initiated their disciples into meditation practice (Naam Dhan), and this includes the practice of hearing the Anhad Shabd (Unstruck Celestial Melody) within one’s self during meditation practice. "The Unstruck Melody that one seeks to hear, hear it thou in the instruction of the Guru's." (Sri Rag M. 1)
"Within me rings the Unstruck Melody of the Lord’s flute, yea, He in whose presence one's mind is attuned to the Sound of the Inner Music." (Sri Rag, Kabir)
"At the (tenth) door rings the Unstruck Melody. The Lord echoes thus in every heart." (Vadhans M. 5)
3) Non-Violence (Ahimsa) in Thought, Word, and Deeds Including Following a Non-violent Vegetarian Diet in the Adi Granth and Other Texts
Shri Guru Nanak Dev abstained from animal food and enjoined against cruelty to animals: "Having prohibited his disciples to drink wine and eat pork, he (Nanak) himself abstained from eating flesh and ordered not to hurt any living being." (Mohsin Fani, Persian Scholar of Comparative Religion, Author of the, DABISTAN-E-MAZAHIB)
"Kabeer says, the dinner of beans and rice is excellent when flavored with salt. Who would cut throats to have meat with his bread?" (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 1374)
"One who does not steal, commit adultery, slander anyone, gamble, eat meat or drink wine will be liberated in this very life (i.e. Jeewan Mukt)". (Guru Gobind Singh, 10th Sikh Guru, Sudharam Marag Granth)
"Living by neglect and greed, the world eats dead carcasses. Like a goblin or a beast, they kill and eat the forbidden carcasses of meat. Control your urges, or else you will be thrown into the tortures of hell." (Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 723).
Bhai Gurdaas Ji said: "They eat meat by cutting throats, what will their own condition be?" (Vaar 24, Pauree 17)
“To take what rightfully belongs to another, is like a Muslim eating pork, or a Hindu eating beef. Our Guru, our Spiritual Guide, stands by us if we do not eat those carcasses. By mere talk, people do not earn Liberation. Salvation only comes from the practice of truth." (Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 141)

Top 10 most ticklish DC heroines:
10: Wonder Woman
Tickle Spots- Armpits, Thighs
Ticklish- 8/10
Most common ticklers: Black Canary, Cheetah, Circee
Wonder Woman once found a little girl alone in rough neighbourhood and gave her a piggyback as she carried her to the nearest police station. On the way, the girl decided to see if Wonder Woman had ticklish armpits. The girl reduced the mighty Amazon to a giggling wreck in a matter of moments. She hadn't dared clamp her arms down for fear of breaking the human's fingers. Wonder Woman had no idea that the little girl was Circee, testing for weaknesses. But she figured it out soon enough, when she was tied up in Circee's cave and screaming in ticklish agony. When she saw that Circee had invited her feline friend, Wonder Woman felt a pronounced terror.
9: Powergirl
Tickle Spots- Feet, Ribcage and Armpits
Ticklish- 8/10
Most common ticklers: Supergirl
8: Supergirl
Tickle Spots- Belly, Belly Button, Waist, Sides
Ticklish- 8.5/10
Most common ticklers: Powergirl
These two have frequent and competitive tickle fights. Powergirl usually wins due to being a little less ticklish. Powergirl tends to start the fights whenever she wants to piss off her friend/rival. That said, Supergirl wins enough to make it a fair fight, and if she ever gets a hold of Powergirl's legs or arms then the fight is basically over. Once, Supergirl managed to pin Powergirl to the ground and tickled her armpits until she begged for mercy. Supergirl showed none, and was granted even less when Powergirl took her revenge. Her fingers ravaged and plundered her midriff and Supergirl was crying with laughter by the time they were through.
7:Black Canary
Tickle Spots-Feet, Legs and Hips
Ticklish- 9/10
Most common ticklers: Wonder Woman and Green Arrow
Just because Black Canary's a tickle monster doesn't mean her 2 favourite victims don't occasionally get one over on her. One time they teamed up. It was a planned assault, her husband and her best friend tickling her to tears for a solid hour. Green Arrow had pinned her feet and tickled her toes with his arrows. Wonder Woman had been sat on the small of her back, ruthlessly squeezing her hips, causing the blonde heroine to buck like a wild animal. The pair had only stopped when she had sworn never to tickle them again. Unfortunately, they had made no such promise and "Tickle Time" was now a common occurence in Black Canary's life, and she can't retaliate for fear of their joint retribution.
6:Wondergirl
Tickle Spots- Ribcage, Hips, Waist, Sides
Ticklish-9/10
Most common ticklers: Kid Flash, Robin and Superboy
Never has there been a girl so ticklish who could still muster such a fight against it. Titan tower often rang with the sounds of her laughter and her shouts of defiance. It took the strength of Superboy to restrain her, and the speedy fingers of Kid Flash to sap her of her strength. Cries of "Lemme go" and "Don't you dare" echoed through the halls. One time, Robin was straddling her waist and tickling her hips. She had bucked so hard she had sent him flying into the nearby couch. Her reprieve had only lasted a moment though, as Superboy's hands had quickly found her sides and were goosing her ticklish skin, bringing forth peels of laughter and triggering violent thrashing. Tim had joined in, annoyed by his short-lived flight, and had extracted an apology from the defiant one.
5:Raven
Tickle Spots- Collarbones, Ribcage, Hipbones, Knees, Toes
Ticklish- 9/10
Most common ticklers: Starfire
The first time Starfire tickled Raven it was as a demonstration of what tickling was. Raven had decided quickly that it was worse than the tortures of hell. Unfortunately, Raven had also spent the past week making prickly comments about Starfire's annoyingly upbeat attitude and constant smiling. The opportunity for revenge was too good to miss. Raven had suffered the tickling of a lifetime as Starfire had teased her mercilessly for her smile and her laugh. Starfire had never seen anyone thrash so wildly when she squeezed their hips or goosed their ribs. She'd been ruthless with Raven's toes, forcing the smaller girl to recite "This little piggie" as she played with them, under threat of Rib counting games.
4:Starfire
Tickle Spots- Belly, Sides, Thighs, Soles, Armpits
Ticklish- 10/10
Most common ticklers: Raven, Nightwing, Blackfire
Raven hadn't taken her torment lying down, and had instantly returned the tickling with interest. She's discovered that the curvy Tamaranian was ticklish everywhere she was fleshy, contrary to Raven's weakness to tickles on those areas where skin was stretched tight over bone. Starfire had needed to swear to Raven that she wouldn't tell a soul of Raven's weakness, and even after she had done so Raven had continued, pushing her into absolute hysterics. When Raven had informed Starfire that her torture would end only when Starfire had finished singing some ghastly pop song, Raven had noted a despair in her eyes that hadn't dissapated until the last word of the last chorus. Then her eyes filled with hope.
"I said it would end, Star. I never said straight away."
Despair had then returned.
3:Batgirl (Stephanie Brown)
Tickle Spots- Feet. Feet. Feet. Feet.
Ticklish- 6/10 overall before you include how fucking ticklish her feet are. Adding those into the equation brings her to 10/10
Most common ticklers: Harper Row and Cassandra Cain.
Harper lives in the Narrows, a rather unpleasant neighbourhood even by Gotham standards. One night when the three girls were there, the power went out. So, they were stuck inside and they needed some way to have fun. Stephanie had screamed when she'd realised that She was the fun. Each of them had taken a foot, and Steph had howled with laughter and begged them to let her go. When they'd started counting her toes, she thought she would die. Harper's nails and Cass's knowledge of the nervous system had made for a wicked pair. And when Cass had run to get two hairbrushes, poor Steph would have done anything to escape her fate. The tickling had been their only source of entertainment for the evening. And her friends certainly found it entertaining.
2:Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)
Tickle Spots- Yes
Ticklish- 11/10
Most common ticklers: Joker. Batfam. Sirens. Birds of Prey.
Barbara Gordon had first discovered her weakness to tickling at the hands of Dick Grayson. Next had been Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, who had restrained her with vines and accidentally discovered her extreme reactions. Batgirl quickly gained a reputation in Gotham as the Ticklish Vigilante. There had been a few embarrassing moments in which villains, thugs and henchmen alike had got away by giving her a quick tickle. When Joker kidnapped her and tortured her for a week straight, Alfred had disclosed some of his techniques for enduring torture which he learned in the secret service. That and an upgrade to her suit meant that Barbara was protected, most of the time. Her friends and family however, liked to remind the cocky redhead of her little weakness. Even after the Killing Joke she still fell victim to those deadly fingers with alarming frequency, and she often joked (rather darkly) that she was lucky to have lost half her tickle spots. Even so, an unseen hand in her armpit was enough to make her let loose screams of pleading laughter.
1:Zatanna
Tickle Spots- "NO, PLEASE!!!"
Ticklish- 100/10
Most common ticklers: Black Canary, John Constantine, Batfamily, SMILE (OC)
Zatanna's ticklishness has caused her untold hours of suffering throughout her life. For one thing, she can't even hear the word "tickle" without shuddering. The sight of wiggling fingers makes her freeze like a dear in the headlights. Her reactions are akin to a nuclear explosion. She will scream, howl, beg, plead, thrash and writhe in her desperation. She's basically a magnet for it too, with her tight wardrobe and cocky demeanour, tempting others to just give her a quick poke. It never ended at one poke though. It only ended when Zatanna was a broken mess on the floor, still giggling and letting out little squeaks of "No" and "Stop" and "Please".
Once, John Constantine told her of an ancient ritual to remove one's ticklishness from their body. Zatanna had gone down a magical rabit hole culminating in her entering another dimension inhabited by a Godess known only as Smile. Smile had told Zatanna that she would need to endure 3 days of tickling in order for the ritual to work. Zatanna had tried so hard, screaming and crying with laughter for two days straight. Until the hundreds of hands had become too much for her to bear. She had cried out a surrender, but Smile had never intended to cure her. Smile wanted Zatanna for her own, and over the next two months, Zatanna was trapped in Tickle Hell.
By the time John Constantine saved her, Zatanna was so afraid of tickling that she'd needed to have the memory erased by magic. However, every night in her dreams she finds herself trapped in that hellish plane of existence, fingers digging into her thighs, squeezing her hips scratching her feet, playing with her toes. They goosed her sides and counted her ribs. They teased her belly button and spidered her tummy and pits.
Every morning she forgot, remembering only when she awoke the next night in that place, gazing up into the grinning face of the Godess of tickling. Aware of it all, and aware that it would never end as long as she lived.
And that's not forgetting of course, the frequent pokes, pinches, gooses and teases she endured on an almost daily basis from friends, and the occasional torments of a villain who decided that the best way to neutralize her was to stop her speaking and start her squeaking.
The most ticklish woman in the world. Almost like she had been cursed at birth by a cruel godess.

The Impact Of Voice Search On SEO And Digital Marketing Strategies
Are you ready to revolutionize the way people search and discover information? In a world where technology is constantly evolving, voice search has emerged as a game-changer in SEO and digital marketing. From asking Siri for directions to having Alexa order groceries, voice assistants have become an integral part of our daily lives. But what does this mean for businesses and marketers? Join us as we delve into the fascinating realm of voice search and explore its profound impact on SEO strategies and digital marketing tactics. Get ready to unlock new opportunities, reach untapped audiences, and stay ahead of the competition in this ever-evolving digital landscape!
INTRODUCTION TO VOICE SEARCH AND ITS GROWING POPULARITY
In recent years, voice search has emerged as a game-changing technology that is transforming the way consumers interact with search engines. With the rise of smart home devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home, along with the increasing use of virtual assistants like Siri and Google Assistant on smartphones, voice search has gained significant momentum. It allows users to perform searches by speaking their queries rather than typing them into a search engine.
According to a study conducted by PwC, 71% of people prefer using their voice assistant for tasks such as online research and setting reminders, while 41% of adults use voice search at least once a day. This shows that voice search is no longer just a novelty but has become an integral part of people’s daily lives.
So what exactly is driving the popularity of voice search? Let’s take a closer look.
1. Convenience and Speed
One of the main reasons for the growing popularity of voice search is its convenience. Instead of having to type out their queries manually, users can simply speak into their device, making it easier and faster for them to get the information they need. This hands-free approach also allows multitasking – users can ask for directions while driving or set reminders while cooking dinner.
2. Natural Language Processing
Another factor contributing to the increasing adoption of voice search is advancements in natural language processing (NLP) technology. NLP enables machines to understand human language more accurately, including slang terms and colloquial isms. This makes voice search more user-friendly and accessible for a wider range of people, regardless of their age or technological proficiency.
3. Rise of Smart Home Devices
The rise of smart home devices has also played a significant role in the popularity of voice search. With devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home, users can control various aspects of their homes, including lighting, temperature, and entertainment, with just their voice. This seamless integration has made voice search an indispensable part of many people’s daily routines.
4. Mobile Usage
With the increasing use of smartphones, voice search has become more prevalent as well. Many users rely on virtual assistants like Siri and Google Assistant to perform tasks on their phones, such as setting alarms or sending messages hands-free. As mobile usage continues to grow, so does the adoption of voice search.
5. Accuracy and Reliability
As technology continues to advance, the accuracy and reliability of voice search have also improved significantly. This means that users can trust that their queries will be understood correctly and receive relevant results from their searches – further encouraging them to use voice search over traditional typing methods.
UNDERSTANDING THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND VOICE SEARCH
Voice search technology has rapidly gained popularity and has become an integral part of our daily lives. With the rise of virtual assistants like Amazon’s Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple’s Siri, people are now relying on voice commands to perform internet searches, set reminders, make calls, and even control their smart home devices.
But have you ever wondered how this revolutionary technology works? In this section, we will dive deeper into understanding the technology behind voice search and how it impacts SEO and digital marketing strategies.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the foundation of voice search technology. It is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on enabling computers to understand human language in a natural way. NLP involves a combination of algorithms, machine learning techniques, and linguistic rules to process speech patterns and interpret what a user is saying.
When a user speaks into their device using voice commands or queries, the audio files are first converted into text format through Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). This step is crucial as it helps the system understand what words were spoken by the user accurately. ASR uses complex mathematical algorithms to recognize patterns in speech and convert them into text.
Next comes Natural Language Understanding (NLU), which takes the text input from ASR and tries to decipher its meaning. NLU uses semantic analysis techniques to analyze sentence structure, grammar rules, word order, context clues, etc., to determine what the user meant by their query.
Voice search has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, thanks to the widespread adoption of virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. With the rise of voice search technology, there has been a significant impact on how websites are ranked and optimized for SEO.
In traditional text-based searches, users would type in specific keywords or phrases to find relevant information. However, with voice search, users can simply speak their queries into their devices and get instant results. This change in user behavior has forced businesses to adapt their SEO strategies to cater to this shift towards voice search.
One of the primary ways that voice search affects SEO is through changes in keyword usage. When speaking naturally, people tend to use longer phrases and sentences compared to typing out concise keywords. As a result, website content needs to be optimized for long-tail keywords and conversational phrases instead of short-tail keywords. This also means that businesses need to understand the natural language used by their target audience when formulating their content strategy.
Another important factor influenced by voice search is featured snippets. These are brief summaries of an answer displayed at the top of Google’s search results page. With voice searches often resulting in a single answer being read aloud by virtual assistants, having your website’s content featured as a snippet can significantly increase your chances of being chosen as the source for that answer. It is crucial for businesses to optimize their content with structured data markup and concise answers to common questions related to their industry or niche.
IMPORTANCE OF OPTIMIZING FOR VOICE SEARCH
The rise of voice search has revolutionized the way people search for information online. With the increasing popularity of virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, more and more users are turning to voice commands to find answers to their inquiries. In fact, according to a study by Comscore, it is estimated that 50% of all searches will be done through voice by 2020.
As the use of voice technology continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly important for businesses to optimize their digital marketing strategies for voice search. This means understanding how voice search works and implementing techniques that can improve your website’s ranking in this new landscape. In this section, we will discuss the importance of optimizing for voice search and how it can impact your overall SEO strategy.
1. Changing Search Behavior
One of the main reasons why optimizing for voice search is crucial is due to the changing behavior of users when they perform a search query using their voices instead of typing on a keyboard. When someone speaks into their device, they tend to use more natural language compared to when they type in keywords manually. For example, a user may type “Italian restaurants nearby” but would say “Hey Siri/Google/Alexa, what are some good Italian restaurants near me?” This shift in language patterns means that traditional SEO tactics such as keyword optimization need to be reevaluated and adapted for voice searches.
2. Higher Intent of Queries
Voice search queries tend to have a higher intent compared to traditional typed searches. This is because when people use voice search, they are often looking for immediate answers to their questions. For businesses, this means that optimizing for voice search can potentially lead to higher conversion rates as users are more likely to take action on the results provided by their virtual assistants.
3. Local Search Optimization
According to Google, 46% of all voice searches have local intent. This means that users are often looking for businesses or services in their immediate area. Optimizing for local SEO is crucial in order to appear in these types of voice search results. This includes optimizing your Google My Business listing, adding location-specific keywords and content, and ensuring your website is mobile-friendly.
4. Featured Snippets
Voice assistants often read out the featured snippet result when responding to a voice search query. A featured snippet is a highlighted box at the top of the search results page that provides a direct answer to a user’s query. Optimizing your content for featured snippets can increase your chances of being selected by virtual assistants as the source for their responses.
STRATEGIES FOR INCORPORATING VOICE SEARCH INTO DIGITAL MARKETING EFFORTS
Voice search is rapidly gaining popularity, with more and more people using virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant to search for information. In fact, according to a report by ComScore, 50% of all searches will be voice-based by 2020. This rise in voice search has significant implications for digital marketing efforts and SEO strategies. To stay ahead of the curve and reach your target audience effectively, it is crucial to incorporate voice search into your digital marketing efforts. Here are some strategies that can help you do so:
1. Optimize for conversational queries: Voice searches tend to be more conversational in nature compared to text-based searches. People often use longer phrases or ask questions when using voice assistants. Hence, it is essential to optimize your website and content for these conversational queries. Conduct thorough keyword research and include long-tail keywords that reflect how people talk rather than how they type.
2. Use natural language in content: When optimizing for voice search, it is important to keep in mind that people interact with their virtual assistants as if they were talking to another person. This means that your content needs to sound natural and conversational – not robotic or stiff like traditional SEO-focused content.
CASE STUDIES OF COMPANIES SUCCESSFULLY USING VOICE SEARCH IN THEIR MARKETING STRATEGIES
Case studies are a great way to understand how different companies have successfully incorporated voice search into their marketing strategies. These examples provide real-world evidence of the impact and effectiveness of using voice search in digital marketing.
1. Starbucks: Starbucks is a prime example of a company that has effectively utilized voice search in its marketing strategy. In 2017, Starbucks launched its “My Starbucks Barista” feature on its mobile app, allowing customers to order their favorite drinks through voice commands. This feature was made available through Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa, and later expanded to other devices such as Google Home.
The results were impressive – within just three months of launching the feature, over one million orders were placed via voice commands. This not only increased customer convenience but also helped Starbucks gather data on customer preferences and behaviors for more targeted marketing efforts.
2. Domino’s Pizza: Domino’s Pizza is another company that has seen success with incorporating voice search into its marketing strategy. In 2017, they launched their “Easy Order” feature which allowed customers to place their pizza orders through Amazon Alexa or Google Home by simply saying “Alexa, open Domino’s” or “Ok Google, talk to Domino’s.”
The convenience factor of this feature led to an increase in sales and customer satisfaction for Domino’s. They even reported a 6% increase in same-store sales growth after the launch of this feature.
CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS OF USING VOICE SEARCH IN SEO AND DIGITAL MARKETING
The rise of voice searches technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way people interact with their devices and access information. As more and more consumers are turning to voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant for their search queries, it has become imperative for businesses to adapt their SEO and digital marketing strategies to this growing trend.
However, integrating voice searches into your SEO and digital marketing efforts is not without its challenges and limitations. In this section, we will discuss some of the key obstacles that businesses may face when using voice search in their online marketing.
1. Natural Language Processing (NLP) Challenges:
Voice searches queries are typically longer and conversational compared to traditional text-based searches. This means that they often contain incomplete sentences or slang words that can be challenging for search engines to understand accurately. As a result, optimizing content for NLP becomes crucial in order to rank well in voice searches results.
2. Increased Competition:
With the rise of voice searches technology, there has been a significant increase in competition among businesses vying for top positions in voice searches results. The limited number of results provided by virtual assistants means that only a few websites can occupy these coveted spots, making it even more challenging for businesses to stand out from the crowd.
TIPS FOR CREATING CONTENT THAT IS OPTIMIZED FOR VOICE SEARCHES
With the rise of voice assistants such as Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, the way people search for information has drastically changed. Instead of typing in keywords on a search engine, users are now speaking their queries out loud. This shift towards voice search has significant implications for SEO and digital marketing strategies. In order to stay ahead of the competition and reach your target audience effectively, it is crucial to optimize your content for voice search. Here are some tips to help you create content that is optimized for voice search:
1. Understand Natural Language Processing (NLP) Unlike traditional typed searches that typically consist of just a few keywords, voice searches tend to be more conversational and use natural language. This means that your content should also reflect this style of communication. It is important to understand NLP and how it relates to the way people speak in order to create content that resonates with them.
2. Focus on Long-tail Keywords Long-tail keywords are longer phrases that are more specific and targeted compared to shorter ones used in typed searches. These types of keywords are more likely to be used in voice searches as they mimic natural speech patterns. When creating content, incorporate long-tail keywords into your headings, subheadings, and throughout the body text naturally.
FUTURE PREDICTIONS FOR THE ROLE OF VOICE SEARCH IN DIGITAL MARKETING
The rise of voice searches technology has had a significant impact on the world of digital marketing, changing the way businesses reach and engage with their target audience. With the increasing use of smart speakers, virtual assistants, and voice-enabled devices, it is predicted that by 2022, more than half of all internet searches will be conducted through voice.
As this trend continues to grow, businesses need to adapt their digital marketing strategies to incorporate voice search in order to stay relevant and competitive in today’s market. In this section, we will explore some future predictions for the role of voice search in digital marketing and how it may shape the industry in the years to come.
1. Increased Importance of Conversational Keywords
One major prediction for the future role of voice in digital marketing is an increased focus on conversational keywords. Traditional text-based SEO has always focused on short-tail keywords or key phrases that users type into a search engine. However, with voice search, people are more likely to ask questions or use longer phrases when looking for information.
This means that businesses will need to optimize their content for natural language queries rather than just specific keywords. This shift towards conversational keywords will require marketers to conduct thorough research on how people speak about their products or services and incorporate those phrases into their website content and other online platforms.
2. Emphasis on Local SEO
It is often used for local queries, such as “best coffee shop near me” or “restaurants in [city].” This means that businesses will need to focus on local SEO strategies to appear in voice search results.
This could include optimizing their Google My Business listing, ensuring their website has local keywords and location-specific information, and getting listed on online directories such as Yelp or TripAdvisor. As more people rely on voice search for local recommendations, businesses that are not optimized for local SEO may struggle to be found by potential customers.
3. Rise of Voice-First Content
With the increase in voice search usage, there will also be a rise in demand for voice-first content. This refers to content specifically designed and optimized for voice-enabled devices, such as podcasts, audio recordings, and interactive experiences.
As more people use smart speakers and virtual assistants to access information, businesses will need to create content that can be easily consumed through these devices. This opens up new opportunities for brands to connect with their audience and engage them in a more personal and conversational way.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the rise of voice search technology is significantly impacting SEO and digital marketing strategies. With an increasing number of users relying on voice assistants for their online searches, businesses must adapt and optimize their content accordingly to stay competitive. By keeping up with the latest trends and implementing effective strategies, companies can capitalize on the potential benefits that voice search brings. It is crucial for businesses to continuously monitor and evaluate their SEO efforts in response to this emerging trend in order to maintain a strong online presence and reach their target audience effectively. As technology continues to advance, it is essential for businesses to stay informed and adaptable in order to thrive in today’s digital landscape.

Echoes of Home: 11 - Steve ("goobbue")
Echoes of Home: FFXIV AU OC – WoLs on Earth
I was concerned about doing mining and harvesting where people could see us. Not just because we pull vegetables and minerals out of things noninvasively, but also because every place is owned by somebody, some of whom might try to object with shotguns and stuff. Never a problem in Eorzea, where people didn't seem to mind when we harvested right on their farm.
Turns out Gatherer's Sneak ability works pretty well here. In Eorzea it lets gatherers not be noticed by hostiles; here, "hostiles" seems to include anyone who'd object to us wandering on their property and harvesting in their fields. If anyone did notice us, they apparently didn't care.
But we need to widen our range to get to the good stuff, wherever it is, if it is. And that's a problem if we don't have Earth-normal transportation. We've got lots of mounts, but we never got the car mount, I don't remember ever seeing a motorcycle mount, and the only reasonably mundane critter mount we have is the chocobo, which might pass for a big ostrich. Apparently no one ever wanted a "plain" horse in FF14. Tsu'na probably misses her Boreas as much as I miss my Aithon.
The Falcon does look like a weird motorcycle, but it would attract attention, which is bad since it's not street-legal because we don't have plates. The Manacutter could pass for a small aircraft, but it'd be an unregistered aircraft which would show up on radar. I don't care how many movies were made, I don't think we can get away with the mech armor suits.
So, unless we can find really cheap bicycles or something, that probably means traveling at night using an organic mount that doesn't glow, flying to avoid main roads.
God help me, I think that means the goobbue.
It also means camping gear, since traveling at night will mess up our schedule. And Tsu'na's still working on her bathroom rhythm. So I'm going a little nuts with Original Me's money to get a cheap tent, a couple cheap sleeping bags, a 5-gallon water jug and a camp shovel. Decent prices on Amazon, and I can get the stuff sent to the Hartman place during the day.
Tsu'na asked me why I'm buying a shovel. I told her it's for digging a latrine.
"You mentioned a latrine before. What is it?"
"A ditch that you dig, about a foot wide by three feet long by three feet deep. You stand over it with one foot on either side, squat down and use it for a toilet. Then you shovel some of the dirt back in."
"...You are joking?"
"No, I'm not. Standard camping practice."
"What if I fall in?"
"Well, you're an intelligent woman, so you'll probably be able to tell how hard I'll be trying to not laugh at you."
She grabbed my shirt. "If I fall, I will take you with me."
"I'll be praying you don't fall, then."
Right, I should probably add toilet paper to the order. And a lantern.
Google Maps says there's rocky hills to the west which will probably be good for mining, and it looks like meadows to the northwest which hopefully have grass and grain. If the order comes in tomorrow we can head out after the diner shift and be back in a couple days. We can tell the Hartmans we're looking for work out of town. Technically true.
We found a pawn shop in town and sold a pair of copper wristlets. They have a small intelligence boost; maybe they'll help whoever buys them. Selling it was more of an experiment than income; we probably couldn't get away with pawning lots of the same thing unless we made an arrangement with the owner. And we should probably work out how to make unstatted replicas first.
That was a bit of a chicken-and-egg question I had in Eorzea: Did the weapon convey the skill, or did the class imbue the weapon? We change classes by changing weapons, and the weapons are specific to classes. What would happen if I gave an Eorzean Gladiator sword to an Earth norm? Would he become a Gladiator and get Gladiator skills? And inventory and all? Or would he simply not be able to use it because he wasn't already a Gladiator?
For that matter, would we still be able to use Gladiator skills if we picked up an Earth sword? Or would it just be an all-classes replica?
That'll have to wait. I think buying a sword with Original Me's money would be a little too nuts.
