Foreign direct investment (FDI) happens when a business from one country takes control or ownership of a company or industry in another country. This kind of investment and alternative financing means that foreign companies get directly involved in the everyday operations of businesses in another country, leading to a flow of money, knowledge, skills, and technology.

Fractional Investment: Small Shares, Big Profit
Fractional investment is changing how people invest by making it more accessible and flexible for everyone. Instead of purchasing an entire share at the full price, you can purchase just a portion of a share.
What Is Fractional Investment?
Fractional investment is a financial strategy that enables individuals to purchase small portions, or fractions, of stocks, bonds, or other investment assets rather than whole units. In fractional investment, every individual in the community has a part ownership of the asset. As usual, when an asset is owned by several owners, the benefits and the responsibilities of ownership are allocated among them.
Moreover, fractional shares strategy reduces risk and increases return potential by making it simpler for investors to diversify their portfolios and have exposure to a wider range of assets.
Advantages of Fractional Investment
Affordability
Diversification
Reduced Financial Risk
Flexibility
Access to Professional Management
Disadvantages of Fractional Investment
Limited Control
Complexity in Liquidity
Reduced Voting Rights
Dependence on Management
Dividend or Income Splitting
Fractional vs Direct Investment

I would pay such good money for confirmation of whether Ratio and Aventurine have worked together before Penacony. How did it happen??? The talks that went on before Final Victor... The initial spark of inspiration to stick Those Two Guys together...
Like, I just have to know if someone in the IPC deliberately tossed Aventurine and Ratio on to a team together (with or without good intentions). Are any of the higher ups in the IPC or the Intelligentsia Guild out there counting on this partnership working out for the best?
To be a fly on the wall when Ratio found out who he'd been hired to "consult" with...
And Aventurine, getting the IPC mission orders across his desk like "Ah, yes, finally. He's here. My Government Assigned Boyfriend™."
#honkai star rail#aventurine#dr. ratio#ratiorine#aventio#golden ratio#I'm just mentally cackling at the idea#not sure what's funnier#AVENTURINE being the one to take one look at Ratio and going#'I am about to devise so many plans that need the Intelligentsia Guild's input'#OR#the higher ups setting them up instead#Aventurine was just minding his own business#hustling for the Stonehearts#makin those deals#and then all the sudden BAM#Genius Be Upon Ye#No wait!!! Please also consider#Ratio taking one look at Aventurine and suddenly coming up with#a ton of research ideas that just absolutely needed the Strategic Investment Department's direct funding#poor gambler did one (1) group presentation and it changed the trajectory of his whole life#some people get an end-of-year bonus after a big work project#Aventurine got a husband#nooooo#Now I'm just imagining a scenario where they have a chance meeting#and then BOTH keep coming up with RICE PAPER THIN excuses to see each other again#while the other Intelligentsia Guild and IPC members are just watching like#“This is kind of embarrassing”

A modern-day RobinHill AU where Boothill loses his family ranch to the modern day equivalent of IPC and has to move to the city with his adoptive daughter, who is a big fan of the singer Robin. And despite his daughters obsessive streaming of her songs and music videos, Boothill has no idea what Robin looks like except objectively pretty. So he has no clue that the vaguely familiar young lady that he keeps running into with the large sunglasses and face mask is the famous idol and whoops he developed a crush on her
#their first meeting is p much the#uhm you dont know who i am?#of course i do you keep coming in before i can close the bar/restaurant/store#anyway it ends with boothills daughter losing her mind#and sunday needing two bottles of advil upon finding out that robin was about to make a direct leap to motherhood#this joke started as a crack ship but im fully invested in it#honkai star rail#robin#boothill#robinhill#robin x boothill

just saw Wicked at the cinema and when Elphaba did that final riff in Defying Gravity, everyone started laughing. I did too. I did too
#in my defense the flow of the scene is really really anticlimactic...#both bc the direction and the fact that i've been hearing the riff everywhere online exactly the way it's performed in the movie#should have used a different one in promos honestly.... so this one stays as a surprise.... and not a tiktok punchline...#anyway. it was way better than i thought it would be!!! but also nowhere near how impressive the show was#it is pretty obvious they didn't know how to portion songs and keep the momentum going even if scenes are longer and it is very very diffic#lt to get invested into a song when it turns to musicless dialogue every 30 seconds#shoutout to that one guy who really loudly said ''IS THIS POPULAR????'' when popular started playing and ''oh this is defying gravity'' whe#defying gravity started playing. a true ally#eernatalk

Ellen McLain’s commentary from my trivia playthrough
#She's so cute <3#WPP#Portal#Ellen McLain#If you haven't played through the audio commentary I would Absolutely recommend it it is So fun#I clicked out of curiosity - kind of just expecting like a movie's audio commentary y'know? Like a video that highlighted specific scenes#No it's just the whole game again but with trivia pop-ups! I love that!!#It reminded me so much of like trivia track or the pop up fun facts from special editions of movies I would watch as a kid#But you can play through them!! You have to click on them and they spin! I love that!!!#I always love hearing the design and development process - fascinating how the playtesters reacted to this new game!#We take it for granted now but yeah I imagine it would've been very confusing at the time#And I was like ''Well it was such a small team and Ms. McLain was such a large part of it - surely she'll have a few bubbles?''#She does lol - as soon as I got to her first one (it was a slow burn! They buried the lead with her lol I'm already invested!) I had to go#I saved-quit the game out of sheer excitement and giddiness lol I had to sleep on it before I was ready to come back#It is so cool to hear her natural voice ah <3 And the kinds of direction she was given! Other bubbles also talk about her vocal direction :)#Very cool! I wonder what TTS they used for reference :0#But to hear her real laugh without the audio processing over and and she still sounds like GLaDOS! I mean of course she does but just jfdksl#That's /her/ laugh! They share a laugh! It's a very similar laugh!!#Not to mention her talking about wanting to play and just fdskalfd they clearly did such a good job with her performance and ahhh#It's too cute it's all too cute sharing a room with GLaDOS while her voice actor talks about making a cake to share with her friends stopppp#I am so enamoured <3#I also took a bunch of screenshots of GLaDOS still shit-talking while she was being destroyed lol#Actually beat the ending in one try this time :P I ran out of time the last time pfft#But now I've beaten it twice in as many days :D Although I did start it the first time several days ago - but I beat it again quickly!#Has me all the more itching to replay 2 ♪#WPVG

I'm guarding my heart against expecting adoribull crumbs in veilguard because I really don't believe it's going to happen. I think that might be one of the sweet slender branches on the possibility tree that they'll gently and quietly prune away from relevancy, especially since it doesn't involve a player character. dorian will almost certainly be back (hey hiii bestie how have you been? stressed out of your mind I imagine), but I can't imagine they'll let you get too granular with setting up your world state, especially since after ten years they will be expecting to have a lot of players who are new to the series. like AT MOST I can imagine a little background detail implying an amicable bittersweet breakup rather than dragging out the long distance and danger of it all as tevinter politics heat up, if you're allowed to set them both as being still alive.
all that being said I still want it so fucking badly tho fhdskjfhas
#them being together is such an edge case for any given playthrough (no PC romance with either; bull alive; take them out together enough)#it's so unlikely they'll invest resources into it. but maybe. but very probably not. unless... but no --#counterpoint to this spiritually tho: dorian not only fucking but being in a decade long tender & committed romantic relationship#with a once-extremely prominent enemy of the tevene state... still one of the funniest things that can happen in this series#there must be documents about the terrifying head of the secret police on seheron in the magisterium archives. and that's dorian's man#and in the opposite direction bull must have had some real moments of '...oh boy this guy is everything tama warned me about' lol#by trespasser they have such old married couple vibes about it too. the private vs. public perceptions involved. unmatched#would they really throw away such absolute gold. could they bear to. I have many hopes and doubts and dreams and fears#dragon age#adoribull#iron bull#dorian pavus#it would be nice if they at least don't give any information to the contrary that they're still together#so I can live happily in headcanon land (like yes I realize the world is ending but like priorities let's focus on the important things)

officially making this blog a multifandom blog, I think I was struggling a lot with the identity, but I got it down now
I'll also try to reblog other people's art a bit more than I used to because I'll be drawing less but I still want to support the fandoms I like
read the notes because i'm always rambling and changing my wording↓
#the last post I had still stands i'm probably going to use this blog way less but at least I know what direction I'm going forth with#also changed my username so it emphasizes how this is going to be a lot of other people's works not just my own anymore#i like having a tumblr be more casual and not something I've become so emotionally invested in#rambling and rambling and rambling

L for Minister AU
Light Yagami is desperate to know L's name and face. To know everything about his nemesis ("So I can kill him! Ryuk, stop laughing!"). And so, he turns on the TV, sees the promo video for the upcoming elections and thinks...
L would have to show up in person, unmasked and with his real name, if he was an elected Minister.
A few hours of paperwork filed anonymously and through a shady lawyer, a few hours of hacking and anonymous donations, and The Great Detective L is the latest minister candidate, running as an independent.
L does not know how or why he is suddenly running in the elections. Was this even legal? He wasn't even a citizen! Surely no one would vote for a candidate with no public appearances, a profile page with no photo, obviously overblown promises in propaganda -
Apparently, they would.
#L for Minister AU#Originally this was an 'L for President' AU#Because some countries (like the USA) elect their presidents in a direct election. So plot wise that would work.#But not *all* countries#And to be elected prime Minister as an anonymous candidate is even more impossible#So L for Minister it is 😂#Light does a bunch of fake propaganda#However he's such a perfectionist it all looks professionally#Wammy's M&M gets invested too. If L wants to be a government official then they will make damn sure he will!#The Task Force supports him#But quietly because politics isn't a workplace conversation even when your boss is running for an elected office.#Unfortunately no one asks or informs L until it's too late#And then L is running... running... elected#L is shook because he isn't even a citizen?#Light is shook too because this was his most absurd plan? And it succeeded? When he'd thought it as a backup joke plan?#Anyways. Minister L. Crack AU. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.#Death note#l lawliet#Light Yagami#lawlight#Because L knows this was smh Kira's fault#He's not going to suffer through public office alone#Light is his selected second/assistant/whatever the term is#They're going to suffer government bureaucracy together ✨

i miss carpisuns sometimes </3
#not necessarily that I regret switching over but i just get like nostalgic for an earlier time in the ml fandom#s3 was soooo much fun for me#and the long hiatus before s4 was also the best. so good wasn’t ready for it to end when it did haha#things just feel so different in the fandom now#both the fandom has changed and I have changed#and of course the STORY has changed#and I like don’t know what to do about that or how to react#cause I am used to being one of the guys who is defending ml’s honor with my life lol#committed to spreading positivity#and I still want to be that guy!#but it’s like. idk. I don’t recognize this story anymore#this isn’t the same story that I fell in love with years ago. but I don’t want to just like Leave??#I do want to see how things play out bc I am still invested in these characters#and I would love to still be part of the fan community and connect with people over a mutual love for this thing#that has been important to me for years and has inspired me to create and learn new skills and make new friends!#but I also don’t just want to shut up and pretend I’m happy about things I am decidedly unhappy about lol#like it’s honestly surprising to me that a only a small minority of the fandom seems to feel the way I do?#and the majority are still super pumped and frustrated at the people who are complaining#and really. I don’t WANT to rain on anyone’s parade. I honestly don’t#I was part of the parade for years! I had the best time in the parade! I don’t want to ruin the good time!#so i try not to be too salty on main ? but i feel like I’m going a little crazy lmao! like I’m just one bitter little miser fhdjjd#i mean i guess it’s kind of a good thing that I moved blogs tbh lol#cause now when i whine only a fraction of the people have to be exposed to it 😂#but man i hate knowing that people might think of me as a salter#I mean it’s valid if people are trying to have fun and do not want to hear my complaining haha#but also do i automatically have to be a salter. are the only options support and defend ml 100% at all times or Be A Salter#or can there be a third category of certified ml lover that is just disappointed in recent events & disagrees with the new writing direction#is that too much nuance for tumblr lol#see maybe that’s why I miss carpisuns. she didn’t have to ask this question. she was only full of LOVE!#but therein lies the irony…like marinette I have made this choice out of love…for what the story once was…what is to become of me now…

My brother recently got into Demon Slayer so I wanted to make a kny oc for him since I did it before with both me and my sister and never got around to my brother :)
But I started by refreshing my own design because wow?? It’s been 4 years since I first made my kny insert character and a lot of things are now outdated! Not to mention my art has improved a lot, I hope. More details under the cut!
Meet Ebisu Koharu: youngest of the Ebisu family and physically the weakest. They only barely passed Final Selection by hiding for the entire week and surviving off tips from their older siblings. Nonetheless, they still want to contribute, which is why they hold onto a thick, leather bound book that records every demon they’ve ever met in precise detail, with labeled diagrams and scribbled calculations in the margins of different strengths and weaknesses.
After spending a few years on the job, and properly seeing their data contribute to the successes of other demon slayers, they’ve come a bit more into their own as a competent researcher and fighter, though they still do tend to request paired missions with friends and family to act more as a support role rather than a fighter.
The Ebisu family is one of scholars. The eldest daughter Kaoru is a doctor, and the eldest son Shougen is a chemist. By nature, fighting is not necessarily their strong suit, which is why their family breathing style and techniques are all poison-assisted. Of the three, Koharu is the weakest and most averse to combat— they wield a short half-length blade, with more of a smooth ceremonial hilt and sheath than any practical weapon.
#kny oc#kimetsu no yaiba#demon slayer#it’s so much fun seeing my brother be so late to the party for kny lmao#I love him but his takes are kind of shit ngl.#his character will be absolutely hilarious to do as well#because you better believe I’m going to lean far into how much he simps for giyu#looking for names is so much more fun when I can read some kana and am not using google translate#I found out that the combination of me and my sister’s names form kanari which i will not stop thinking about for ages#four years of improvement and four years of character development! Better character design and research skills#it’s a lot of fun thinking more about details when designing now#I.e. brushes are wildly impractical tools for writing on the go so koharu’s main choice of stationery is an imported fountain pen that cost#a decent amount of their savings#and they wanted their records to last longer so they also invested in a proper leather bound journal (also imported) rather than#a normal string bound book like their normal daily journal. this is also why the books open in different directions#in the event that their fountain pen breaks they Will Cry but they will also commit the details to memory and write them in with a bruh#with a brush after the battle ends

frankly death note is one of those rare series where casual fans often understand it better than people who are obsessed with it bc the intentions and scope of the manga are pretty clear. like i find casual fans are generally pretty invested in the whole question of whether or not light is good whereas serious(tm) fans tend to dismiss this as settled. death note is ultimately very firm on the fact that light's whole endeavour is horrific but this does not mean readers aren't being invited to consider it. imo it's not an especially interesting series if you don't engage with that
#tbh i feel a lot of the 'death note is only good by accident' discourse comes from people#skipping to the end re: ths question#it suffers from its own success etc bc i think most people with any real investment already know light's plan is evil#& if you are an adult in 2024 its kind of obvious that this is the case#but it was written for children and teenagers in 2003 where plans just like light's were really common in YA/childrens media#and generally treated as good#it is a subversion of a trope that has fallen out of popularity and it is directed at a less savvy audience than people often realize
