Tumblr media
Backstory
Beloved originally came from a swamp. They weren't born there; they formed or at least spawned there. The flowers, blue orchids, weren't so bad back then. Bel spawned in with nothing, no clothes, no items, just them and their flowers. They found a witch hut nearby and luckily found clothes left behind. A few days later after wandering around, they found a nearby village. They go up to the village and try to communicate with the villagers inside. However, the village were horrified by demons. They kicked Bel out, which made them think that everyone must be scared of them, right?
Years later, Beloved managed to learn how to farm and collect some books. This was the same year that a slime had wandered over to their home. Bel was deprived of anything relating to people and attention, so they were excited to see this slime walking around. 20 years. 20 years since they've been deprived since they've been kicked out of that village. Eagerly, they greeted this slime, finding out his name was Streqq.
The two began to go on adventures together. While on an adventure, they ran into an allay named Cloudy. Beloved and Streqq ended up dragging Cloudy along with their adventures.
Rosas
Tumblr media
Rosas is a fraction founded by Streqq, Beloved, Cloudy, Globi, Cheez, and Sprout. It formed as an idea before the server opened between Steel, Bel, and Cloudy (OOC), suggesting that they'll start a rose empire, taking all the roses in the server. Originally this idea stemmed from their own vanilla server, where they'd collect roses and destroy any dandelions (In their words: Because Fitmc didn't like dandelions.) Once QBLRsmp opened on April 11th, Steel and Bel (OOC) quickly grouped up and wandered around spawn. They ran into Sev and Stehlla (OOC) and began to build their first two buildings: The community storage and their house. Cheez (OOC) shortly came around to join this small group a few days later.
Tumblr media
One of the best moments in Rosas (at least with the founders) was Radiation Crew, which included Beloved, Streqq, Cheez, and Midori. This group formed when they traveled around the server and accidentally accidentally stumbled upon a radiated cave. The trio version (Beloved, Streqq, and Cheez: Radiation Trio) was created when the three chased after Grace and got immediately shot with the radiation gun, claiming that Grace had bit them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first screenshots in Bel's (OOC) drive were of Bel and an older version of Midori's model fishing and Sprout on the first day of the server in a composter (which continued later on in character.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The French Inn was a huge part of Rosas as well. The French Inn and Rosas were neighbors! Here, Cloudy (OOC) learned how the cooking system worked and some of Rosas had met other members!
Pumpkin Isles, Adoption Event
Tumblr media
The first real memory Beloved remembers on Pumpkin Isles was the Adoption Event. Bel and a handful of islanders were told to go to this island to get a creature. In the chests, there were items labeled with their names. Bel's item was a sprout. Luckily enough, Cloudy's and Streqq's items were the same thing, meaning that they were partners. After everyone on the island got their item all the creatures came down from the sky. Everything was loud, everyone was so excited to find and see who their creature was. The trio were excited as well. An egg with a small green sprout ran up to the trio, holding the item that matched theirs. The four quickly went into a corner far away from the islanders so they could finally talk to their new creature. Streqq called them a parasite, to his defense he's never seen a child before. Beloved and Cloudy weren't too happy with this. Cloudy acted distant, unsure about the creature. Bel scolded the two for being so strange a few times, but mainly Streqq for being a little mean. Once they were allowed to, the four left the island to go back home to Rosas. At home, Streqq immediately began interrogating the poor egg. While Streqq was doing this, Cloudy sat on the side and watched. Bel continued to scold both of them for this and immediately took over the situation. They showed the creature around their house, and Streqq and Cloudy followed behind. Once they reached the roof, Cloudy decided it was a good time to go off to walk around, to get some air. The two, Bel and Streqq, finished showing the creature around. They talk a little bit about parenthood but it was completely cut off by Streqq wanting to show the creature Rosas. The slime was excited to be the one who could show the creature around the fraction that he and Beloved and a few others had found. Not only that he was excited about his own creature, but others as well. A few of the things that Bel remembers almost exactly was Streqq running up to a creature and shouting his hellos, only accidentally scaring the creature and making them run off. The other memory was when they first met Squash and their parents. Sprout and Squash seem to get along, Squash did attack a few times out of playfulness.
Tumblr media
Nearing the end of the day, when the sun was going down. They began to hang out with Rosas since they were around. Cloudy also came back around this time. Beloved stayed somewhat distant, staying near their creature, Cloudy or Streqq. Rosas ran off to the neighboring island to talk and run around. Bel watched from a distance from the house. Sprout, their creature, and Halo, Soup's creature, stayed by Bel. Deep down inside, Bel was scared for the future. They turned to the two creatures as they pulled out their scythe, making a promise. If anyone hurt or killed them, Bel wasn't afraid to kill them over and over.
Unfair Baby Fight, Court
Tumblr media
As a player-made event (hosted by Popcorn) a baby fighting ring was made and hosted at Lyre's home. The fight rules were: No armor, no cloud in a bottle, just sticks. Once Sprout was up, she was against Squash. Sprout couldn't even hit Squash, not even once. What made things worse was the fact that Squash brought out a rainbow-colored Tremorsaurus named "Gay Brother". Bel, Streqq, and Cloudy jumped out of their chairs, yelling to stop the fight due to Sprout being flung around and almost killed. The event stopped for a moment to talk to the two creatures and figure out if this was fair or not. Popcorn declared that it was fair for Squash to bring out the Tremorsaurus and that he won and if anyone had a problem with that they could take it to court. The family took this joke seriously and decided to sue both Popcorn (For the Event) and Squash's family (For being Unfair.)
The family along with Soup went home to plan out what to do. Cloudy and Soup went into full detail about what they're suing Squash and Popcorn for, what to say, who're lawyers, who're witnesses, etc.
Tumblr media
Days passed, and more planning and more stress were put on the group's shoulders. They got two more lawyers and a "witness", Tea, Halo, and Cheez. Fly, Midori, and Mozza were also there as witnesses. (Mozza was really just there to say that Sprout was innocent and in the right.) However... During all the planning, something else also happened.
Tumblr media
Another player-hosted event was made, a banquet to open up the Server/Community Farm! During this event, all players were able to sit down and talk to each other as they ate meals and drank wine. However, a white and black fox appeared during this event and began summoning monsters to hurt everyone there. While this was happening, Bel took Sprout and a few other creatures away to keep them safe. Everyone was confused, this was out of nowhere! Surely it was only one time, right?
Tumblr media
Wrong! The day that the court case was going to happen, the white fox attacked again. At first Bel and Cloudy didn't notice, but Sprout noticed immediately and got attacked. Bel tried to get Rosas over to their home to help them. While monsters continued to attack everyone, Bel lost sight of Sprout. They screamed out for their baby, completely horrified by this situation.
Tumblr media
Didn't help that also the same day, a pillar was made around the server, first appearing outside of court. This stressed the group out, not only court was stressing but both the abyss and white fox were also stressing them out!
They didn't have time to process the situation, they had to go inside and finally go through the court case. The first case was between the Citrus-Rose Family and Squash's Family.
Tumblr media
There are a bunch of recordings for this case in particular + Streqq's funny lil evidence video against Val attacking Streqq before court. (I won't share the video for the court because I'm unsure if I can share it but let's just say... WE STAY WINNING)
youtube
The next was against Popcorn and his team. This one was a loss for the Citrus-Rose Family. In fact, Streqq was sacrificed during this case! Plus the first Sanguine appearance happened. A god had possessed Tea during the case and attacked Streqq along with Popcorn. Someone had also blown up the Judge and the courtroom! Bel managed to get Sprout out of the courtroom as quickly as they could.
Tumblr media
After court, Bel comforted Streqq along with Tea as well. The three went off home and drank the stress away (At least Bel and Tea did. Not Streqq.) This was something they had to watch out for, wasn't it?
Poking the Bear with a Stick
Beloved goes to Cheez's house which was infested with sculk from the abyss. They held shears in their hand, wanting to test something. Wanted to see how Cheez would react to them messing around with the sculk. Cheez waited inside, sitting on a chair. He greeted Bel with a soft and welcoming tone. Bel and he talked for a little until they began cutting the sculk. Then, Cheez revealed his axe and began to target them. Outside, Cheez aimed for the leg first, then their stomach. Streqq ran to Cheez's house in a panic, begging him to stop and asking what was going on. For a final hit, Cheez slammed his axe down on Bel's face, on the flower side. Luckily, it didn't kill them, but it did wound them for a long time.
Later on, Beloved gave the shears to Gray to research.
New Rosas
Tumblr media
Old Rosas had plenty of warnings for being the most laggy fraction on the spawn island. Everyone decided that they should probably move if they wanted more builds like planned. First, they traveled to the moon (which was already pretty far from spawn) and they went from there. They found some (kind of) flat and green land, however a village was also nearby. So what did Rosas do? That's right, end crystal!
Tumblr media
Then, Rosas found a nearby pumpkin, which they fought once the village was done getting destroyed and after all the tall grass was gone:
Tumblr media
Rosas got to building. The first thing they built was the gazebo. The gazebo was mostly built by Streqq and Bel (Bel really only did the paths meanwhile Streqq did the rest.) New Rosas was a fresh restart for everyone, they could build so much more and much bigger without problems of lag. (There were problems later down the line but it was an entity issue.)
Tumblr media
With New Rosas being built, it also introduced a very important character... Willard. Okay, he's not a character but he's still important to Rosas, he had an entire SHRINE before it had to be taken down closer to the end of the server because of lag! I like to believe he was very important... :C
Normal Dinner
Tumblr media
Normal Dinner (Not the ones Levlies had planned, but they were there too!) was a Rosas event to welcome Cheez back. Cheez was hibernating after Bel had been attacked by him. The seating arrangements were awkward. Everything at this dinner was uncomfortable. It just wasn't a good dinner at all. At first, it was quiet. No one knew what to say in front of the bear in front of them. Once Jay began serving food the conversation began.
Almost quickly the conversation turned into arguments between each other. Beloved couldn't stop staring at Cheez, Streqq, and Tea. Horrified at Cheez, upset at Streqq, and finally, wanting help from Tea.
Cheez noticed Bel's stares, which brought up the attack back at home. The group suggested that they should apologize to each other, which they did. Admittedly, both of their apologies weren't genuine. Cheez was still filled with anger. Beloved was still scared of Cheez.
The group got up from their chairs to take a break and noticed the back of the chairs being scribbled with degrading words. Everyone was shocked and scared, they worried that it was Sanguine's doing.
Possession, Obsession
Before the dinner, Streqq agreed to be possessed by Sanguine, which drove Beloved over the edge. They were scared of losing Streqq, they were attached. Slowly over time, they became obsessed with the slime, and soon the serpent god possessing him too.
The first attack was when Streqq, Beloved, and Chickadee were traveling away from New Rosas. Streqq suddenly snapped and began to hit Bel with a sickle, out of fear Bel ran to get Chickadee and teleported off the island to Globi's Temple in New Rosas.
Beloved began watching Streqq from afar. A few islanders noticed them, but they simply didn't care. They took photos of Streqq, for their secret room.
Tumblr media
In this secret room located in the Secret Casa had photos of Streqq (poorly done), a wine bottle that Streqq drank from, Streqq's last slime sample from Tea, Streqq's first note, Streqq's blood, and finally Streqq's shirt. There were plenty of books written about Streqq... Or even Sanguine. Writing about how much they missed him or how something affected them. They didn't like certain people such as Nightmare because he was too close to Streqq, claiming he could help him. They were jealous of those with relationships, they had something Bel wanted.
During the boiling, Beloved sacrificed themselves. They screamed out "finally" over and over, saying how they were finally useful to someone. Once they've died, there was a note left saying:
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Finally, I'm useful for something. Never in my 23 years of existence have been used for something so great like this. Finally. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
Their heart was ripped out of their body and used to continue on with the boiling. Beloved respawned and watched silently as Streqq got boiled right in front of their eye. They captured Streqq's sin in a cage to put in their room in the Secret Casa.
Sanguine used Streqq as a vessel. Beloved couldn't help but follow him around nonstop... Listening in on things they shouldn't listen to such as Soup's deal or Gummy gossiping with Sanguine. Bel kept silent. Bel kept silent about these things and only brought them up when it was needed after the possession.
While Sanguine was around, he had killed many people. Beloved was killed multiple times because Sanguine was simply bored. Bibi, Gummy's creature, was killed. Then Stick. Stick was Citrus-Rose's foster child. Beloved at first before adopting Stick teased him, but they slowly got attached in the adoption process. Bel, Streqq, and Stick went to the market to hang out as a family. Bad idea. Once they reached the orphanage to visit it while it was empty, Sanguine came out and attacked Stick, saying it was some kind of game to get home quicker. This angered Beloved. They brought out their scythe and repeatedly downed Sanguine nonstop until their arms got tired. The last blow was an accident. They accidentally killed Sanguine. In the moment they worried for Stick more than Sanguine. Bel held Stick close, trying to comfort their child while Rosas rushed into the orphanage.
One thing Beloved remembered almost vividly was the day Halo got downed by Sanguine. Halo wanted to show Streqq a special spot that meant a lot to her, so the two left. Beloved and Sprout had a feeling deep down that this would go wrong so they went to Halo's stasis chamber and waited. Then it happened. Beloved quickly slammed the trap door shut while Sprout threw potions at the door. However, Halo got teleported to another chamber right after. Gray and Fly went to Site Null to check on the family. Halo shortly came back after, clearly traumatized from the events. Beloved told Gray to keep an eye on Sprout and Halo while they checked on Sanguine. Fly was very against Beloved doing this but he went along with them. Beloved went to New Rosas and tracked down Sanguine. Turn of events, Sanguine reveals that he has Beloved's heart and has control over them. If they did one wrong thing, he could easily destroy this heart. Destroy their respawn anchor. Beloved backed down, submitting to Sanguine once again. In Nightmare's house shortly after; Sanguine, Tea, and Beloved talked. Sanguine began to blame Tea for causing all of this and convinced Beloved to attack Tea. To take their bottled-up emotions out on Tea. If Tea hadn't found this dying god, Stick wouldn't have died. If Tea didn't go through with all of this, Halo wouldn't be traumatized. If Tea hadn't pulled Streqq into this, they wouldn't be hurt like this... Beloved pulled out a ritual knife and began to stab Tea in the stomach 17 times. The same spot Bel was stabbed in when they were sacrificed. After this incident, Bel repeatedly apologized for what they'd done. Tea reassured them that he wasn't mad at what they had done.
Streqq and Tea had a plan to get rid of Sanguine. The plan was to nuke themselves in the Grotto so their bodies couldn't be used as vessels. Beloved was against it at first but soon had to give in because that was the only thing that would get rid of this serpent. Days getting closer and closer to this end, Bel became more and more guilty about their actions. They showed Streqq the Secret Casa and accidentally, their secret room. Didn't help that Streqq called them a freak for this... Once the day hit, Beloved couldn't say their goodbyes while everyone else was trying to. They wanted a goodbye alone in the Grotto. Bel hugged the two brothers tightly, calling them the greatest best friends they had ever had in their life. Bel then left the Grotto slowly, listening to the Nucular Creepers in the distance. Once they reached the entrance of the Grotto, they heard them go off. After they went off, after a few more moments, Bel went back inside along with Soup and Fly. Inside the lab was a cacoon covered in both blood and sculk. The cacoon hatched and revealed a gulber who could walk on its two feet like a person. This gulber called itself Prison.
Tumblr media
Fly and Beloved stayed in the Grotto to talk to Prison. To figure out what it was and what it reacted to. It would freak out almost the entire time, saying they itched or they hurt. Bel and Fly assumed this could be related to Sanguine and Lady Abyss. Once Prison got tired, Bel and Fly left the Grotto. They'll deal with it later...
A few days later, Streqq came back from purgatory and happily greeted everyone. Beloved was hesitant along with Halo and Sprout, but, the three slowly warmed back up to Streqq.
Beloved went back to the Grotto to check on Prison, only to find out that Prison completely destroyed one of Globi's wards. Bel, frustrated with it, yelled and scolded the gulber. They stopped once Streqq, Fly and Globi came in to study Prison. It took time, but, they managed to get Prison out of the Grotto. Lots and lots of yelling and scaring it out... They got Prison to Tea's new lab (that Tea was trying to build before dying) and began to experiment. Alcohol, food, puzzles, flesh, acid. Then they trapped Prison in an obsidian cage. The group discussed if they should kill Prison right here right now. It was mixed but they decided that Globi should go through with it. Streqq left the room while Fly and Beloved stayed to watch Globi kill Prison... Or well... Eat Prison actually... Something inside Bel felt relief, it was finally over. Sanguine was finally gone. Their family can be safe...
Tumblr media
Final Days, It's Time to Go
Beloved hadn't taken Tea's and Streqq's death well. Even though Streqq came back, something deep down felt off. Bel had already put Streqq's urn beside his grave but they haven't let go of Tea's. They held both of their urns around, almost attached because of their grief. They felt deep down guilt from what happened. They could've stopped this. They could've done so much better. They blamed themselves for not helping Tea or Streqq before the nukes. They felt like they made it worse.
They still hold Tea's urn, however, once Rosas finds a location for their new home, Tea's urn will be placed down for good. Preferably a new grave or whatever Tea wants.
There was an invitation in the Citrus-Rose mailbox, Soup was hosting a dinner at their manor. Bel was unsure about the dinner at first, they were going to go but the past dinners they were invited to ended horribly. This dinner was nicer, in the beginning at least.
Tumblr media
At this dinner, they talked about gossip, bad news, the past, and some good news. Like said before, it was going well until Soup led the group downstairs. Downstairs was a ritual room. Soup wanted to do a ritual, one last attempt to become human. It failed.
Tumblr media
On their body, there were potions and a key to their office. Jay took the key while Beloved snatched up some of the potions. The door leading them out of the big ritual room led them to a maze. A blood maze. This maze freaked out the group, especially Streqq who was trying to calm himself down, verging on a panic attack. The group accidentally split up. While trying to group up, Beloved found the exit to the maze by accident.
Out of the maze, Jay unlocked the door to reveal the True Lab. It was overgrown and messy, it had books and notes left behind by Soup. The group read the books and notes, revealing what Soup had planned all along and their last message. A goodbye for if they died. Soup's death left Beloved unsure. They didn't know how to feel at this point. They were worried about breaking the news to Halo back home since Halo had already gone through so much the days before and today. Like old times, Beloved just listened to the group, following them around. They didn't budge into Streqq comforting Nightmare due to not wanting to be scolded by Nightmare, being told it wasn't their place like before Sanguine. Watching Fly react badly to these events hurt Beloved, they felt bad for Fly but they gave him his space.
Tumblr media
Today was the final day on Pumpkin Isles. Beloved and Streqq spent some time together in Sprout's Sanctuary, it was almost like a date! Then they went to the Temple to put their stuff away in the archive along with everyone else. Everyone in Rosas (along with a few others from other factions!) gathered in the tavern to listen to Angel sing! Sprout hummed a song as well which made Streqq and Beloved emotional.
Everyone gathered at the blimp to leave Pumpkin Isles. Almost panicking over closing the door and gathering everyone for a photo! But luckily, everything worked out. Thank you.
Tumblr media
Thank you QBLRsmp for helping me make so many friends <3

Propaganda
Soundwave and Cassandra Cain
So Cass' brain is wired so speech and the written word is really hard for her to process. But she can read body language perfectly. She knows when you are lying, what you are really feeling, and she knows who you are at your core. Soundwave is a mech who doesn't really talky. He's a telepath and an empath. The cool thing about these two is that they don't need words to communicate. Also, loyalty is very important to both of them. While they would start out on opposite sides, Cass' oath not to kill or let others be killed outside of the law, would put her in a position where she saved Soundwave's life and brought him to those who could fix him. She would actively protect him from Autobots looking to kill him. They'd also have some really deep "conversations" about killing. Cass has, through her abilities, vicariously experienced death from the perspective of the dying. Soundwave has the power to experience the same. Cass would push him to do so, to really examine if how he is fighting will get him a better world. These two would just click and with time they would become close friends and partners in crime fighting.
Webby and Globine
So fun fact, there's a character called Globi that is basically considered the "Mickey Mouse of Switzerland" and he has a daughter (or maybe niece I forget) named Globine who often has adventures of her own. Globine is a little bird girl and I think she'd get along with another little bird girl - Webby! They would totally get into all sorts of adventures together. It would be really cute.

I think it’ll be okay.
Gosh I didnt realize people were gonna be so salty over BH6 switching to an 11 minute format. Honestly I dont mind other than it makes me concerned there won't be as much time for side characters like Globy and Carl, Carl especially.
I am setting my bar pretty low here really, I’m just glad they even followed through with the third season at all at this point. To be fair episode one did have a strong follow through from where we left off at season 2 and I think Wasabi, Gogo and Honey-Lemon no longer being at SFIT will play a significant role in the whole ��character focused story” that they're claiming is the reason they switched formats.
As much as everyones saying its not supposed to have an overarching plot its pretty obvious that theres going to be an arc with NBB and his new “sisters”. Personally I like NBB a lot. He’s a much deeper and more significant character than I ever thought he would be. I might do a bit more in depth post about why I like him so much because it seems a lot of people dont like him much.
Very excited to see what the A/B format is like, really hope it’s been done right.

Clasps hands together. Guys. I forgot to post about Rosas SMP for ... More than two weeks now.
*ahem*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First Days: Rosas' blimp crashes into a mining rig located in Ambrosia Point. The first character they're greeted with is Sheriff Mel! Rosas explores the new town and the surroundings around them. Townsfolk warns the newcomers to not go into the Dark Forest across the river.
Cloudy, Streqq and GhostTea go into the forest and immediately regret it. SUUURELY this won't become plot relevant!!!
Beloved, Streqq, Cloudy, Tea, Flygon, Halo and Sprout split off from Rosas to build their home, calling their home "Citrus-Rose" considering that's the family's last name. Spore and Midori also join their group later on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beloved, Flygon, Streqq and Halo go into the forest together, Bel was in denial about anything being in the forest. Well. They were proven wrong when they were knocked out by fireflies by this giant mysterious beast. The group were lead around by an angler Streqq named Phosphorus (Phos for short). Flygon and Bel get split up from Streqq and Halo, they end up finding Angel on accident on account of Angel found a tower and they wanted to loot it but there was no loot at all...
The groups regroup and follow Phos some more. Later on, Jinx and Larkspur find the group and try leading them out, causing Streqq to pass out. Larkspur and Beloved argue, Bel lashing out due to how pissed off they were at Streqq. The group end up leaving the body alone and start walking back to Citrus-Rose. Larkspur properly introduces himself to the Rosas members (Flygon, Beloved, Angel, Jinx, and Halo) But........
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways, back at home, Beloved and Flygon end up talking. Beloved admits they've been having nightmares about Sanguine every single night and they've been on edge for the past few months. The two siblings share a hug together, Flygon reassuring that everything will be okay. Bel has only opened up to Fly about their nightmares.
Tumblr media
Tea became a godling, how cool is that? A mushroom began to form on the mountain beside Citrus-Rose. Flygon and Beloved go up to the mushroom after their talk and notice a godling coming out of the mushroom. He was confused about his surroundings and who were the two beings in front of him. Fly and Bel talk to the godling, Bel reminds him about the book they gave him, and he immediately went to read that book. Without the book, he only recognized Globi.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rosas as a whole go back to visit the blimp, to show Tea the blimp! However, apparently, there was honey spreading around. Bel didn't get to see much of it but a lot of the others saw it and were concerned. Back home, Streqq suggests him and Bel go to the nearby river to wash off the honey, which leaves one of the best signs from Sprout so far:
Tumblr media
Yes, they were teased about this back at home because Sprout told the others about their "very platonic swim in the river".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beloved, Flygon and Jay got to meet the Mayor, Eden, and his hunting buddy, Arabella. The trio have a meeting with the Mayor about the blimp crashing into the mining rig and also Rosas wandering around the forest they shouldn't even go into.
Tumblr media
After the meeting, Beloved runs into Larkspur and their two kids. They end up going into the park to play while the Mayor and Sheriff end up dying badly to something.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The group weren't safe for long either: The creature from the forest came into town! Beloved tried calling out for help, but no one came. These events will continue on in the future.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which in fact, did happen again!!
In town hall; Streqq, Halo and Phos were backed into a corner while Bel and Sprout stood on the other side. Beloved and Streqq argued, Bel held a sickle in their hands, they claim that all these attacks are all Streqq's fault. Phos began to "cry", which triggered a response in Bel. It sounded like it. Sounded like... Beloved dumped the blood on themselves that screamed just like Phos. To prove a point. "It's not fucking crying."
Ogh. I'm not even DONEEE....

Spotkania

Życie Harry'ego ciągle było zależne od spotkań. Spotkanie Hagrida dało mu możliwość poznania czarodziejskiego świata, gdzie wszytko było wyjątkowe i niesamowite. Spotkanie Rona i Hermiony uświadomiło mu, że on też zasługuje na uczucie i przyjaciół. Spotkanie rodziny Weasleyów pokazało mu, że na świecie jest na tyle miłości, że nawet on może być nią objęty. Spotkanie żyjących w Hogwarcie czarodziejów ukazało mu, że istnieją na tym globie ludzie tacy jak on. I nie jest sam. Spotkanie skrzatów, goblinów, olbrzymów, smoków i jednorożców ujawniło mu, że każdy na swój sposób jest piękny i wyjątkowy.
A teraz nadszedł czas na kolejne spotkania. Spotkania z osobami, z którymi w normalnych okolicznościach, nigdy by się nie spotkał. Ale od kiedy, coś w życiu Harry'ego Pottera dzieje się normalnie?

The Origin of Globie
The World’s Most Famous Mascot
By: Kutura Bailey 04/02/2017
The video posted above features, Globie, the energetic, break dancing, and goofy mascot for the Harlem Globetrotters. You may have seen this lovable globe at your local arena to support his equally talented team, but would you like to know more about this entertaining character? Well, we’re here to share how Globie joined the Harlem Globetrotters’ family.
It all started in 1993, when the Harlem Globetrotters decided that they needed a mascot. They wanted to choose a character that captured the team’s playful and entertaining spirit, so they retrieved the help of Gary Livingood. Livingood was the first person to wear the costume. The original mascot was already a professional singer, dancer, and gymnast, so he was the best person to create Globie’s original choreography.
Despite Globie’s love for the hippest songs and dance moves, he always goes back to his own choreography, which are break dancing, twirls, and splits.  Livingood was the mascot from 1993 to 1995, but Globie has continued to entertain thousands to this day.
Here’s a pic of Globie after his first year with the Globetrotters.
Tumblr media
Do you think Globie has changed much? Why not see him for yourself, in person? Tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters play and Globie in action are available at http://harlemglobetrotters.com/tickets.
Globie gets to travel to different cities all over the country with the team, but did you know Globie can travel to you as well! Yes, Globie does perform for special events. Here are some of the events you can request the friendly guy for:
School assemblies
Parades
Commercials
Birthdays
Weddings
Special deliveries, and more.
To read more information and book your #globieexperience, click here
Globie is the heart of the Harlem Globetrotters, and the team has even more to offer. The Harlem Globetrotters “have been around for 91 years and say they will continue to provide family entertainment for years to come”, stated Brittany Hardaway a journalist from ABC 7 news. So, why not check out the team who inspired it all. The team’s website and social media sites are listed below.  We hope to see you soon!

How storytelling adds power to your presentation?
You are standing in a conference room full of people, or on a stage, about to give a business presentation. How do you begin?
Well, for starters, go for the brain. No, we don’t mean what zombies do or anything like that. But a little humor is good, especially if you can start with a story, a personal anecdote or an experience you’ve had that is relevant to your topic.
Storytelling is an immensely powerful way to communicate and it will help you immediately connect with your audience. Great leaders, sales and marketing professionals have always known this, and in today’s fast-paced corporate world, storytelling is a skill you need to succeed in business, says Darren Menabney, a lecturer on business presentation and critical thinking in the GLOBIS MBA program in Tokyo.
Why is that? Because storytelling relaxes you, grabs your audience’s attention, it boosts their empathy with you and helps them remember what you are talking about, he says. “Just giving data or facts doesn’t have the same effect on the brain of the people listening. Anybody who is in business needs to persuade — that is a core leadership skill. For example, you might be a startup and need to persuade investors and employees to join your company. But the goal is always to use a story to make your presentation compelling and create a bond with your audience. Take the facts, wrap your story around them and you will see a greater effect in terms of selling a product or idea.”
It’s a powerful, yet simple technique that has proven effective for thousands of years. Humans have always told stories, whether it has been sitting around a campfire, in books, movies, TV or online. The tools change but the power of storytelling remains because it comes naturally.
“Everyone has a story to tell, a life experience,” Menabney says. “Our brains are naturally wired to tell stories. For most of us, on any given day, 60% of our conversations are gossip or storytelling. If you can use storytelling in a presentation, with some visuals, the results will be much greater. Create a portfolio of stories that you can use in various situations.”
Storytelling is also a great way to help you overcome your own shyness, Menabney says. “When you learn storytelling skills, it becomes easier to put them into effect at your workplace because you are able to find new ways to bring about a mindset shift. Of course, like all stories, your story will need characters — they can be anything from the company itself, a new product idea or an innovation.”
While nobody is born a natural presenter or public speaker, you can learn the techniques, Menabney says. ”A good example is Steve Jobs with his Apple keynote talks. When he first started, he was nervous. Later on, his body language and gestures changed. He would walk on the stage and build up drama. Then he would stop … and show the new iPhone. Another example is Bill Gates. He gives great TED talks but if you see videos of his old talks, he was a bit rigid.”
"If you can use storytelling in a presentation, with some visuals, the results will be much greater," Menabney says.
Menabney recalls that he, too, honed his business presentation skills over time. Born in the UK, he grew up and lived most of his life in Toronto, Canada. After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in astrophysics, he spent over 20 years working for the federal government in Canada, at the departments of Revenue, Industry, Foreign Affairs and Defense. Seeking to take his career in a new direction, Menabney moved to Tokyo in 2011 and enrolled in the part-time MBA Program at GLOBIS.
“It taught me critical thinking, problem solving and to focus on the big picture. It gave me a better sense of my strengths and weaknesses. I picked GLOBIS because of the teachers and now I am one of them. We are not academics. We are businesspeople who teach and bring a real world experience into the classroom.” His skills have helped him with his work at Ricoh Co Ltd where he leads and manages global HR programs focusing on employee engagement and helping Ricoh employees build stronger global and cross-cultural teams.
Menabney is still, learning, though. He has given hundreds of presentations to diverse audiences across North America, Asia, and Europe, which he says constantly refines and improves his skills. He has worked as a business skills trainer at top Japanese companies and government agencies, instructing business leaders, military officers, and ODA staff on how to create compelling presentation slides, handle audience questions and boost their confidence. He is also an alumni coach with IDEO U, supporting learners in online courses on storytelling and creativity. He works with the start-up community in Tokyo, coaching entrepreneurs on how to better present and pitch their ventures.
Menabney cautions that a speaker needs to observe his or her audience. “If you see the audience fading out, try to engage them and make it interactive, saying, for example, ‘What do you guys think?’ The worst kind of presenters think they know everything and just want you to listen to them. A little humour is good but not a joke because telling a joke could backfire. Move about a bit, too. That’s important. Know your audience and what is going to work for them.”
Knowing your audience also means not judging their ability by their cultural background. When some Japanese tell him that they are not good at this style of emotional, story-driven presentation, Menabney says that’s a myth. “Look at Tokyo’s Olympic bid where Mami Sato, a Paralympian who lost her leg to cancer, gave one of the most passionate and personal speeches, and in English. In our classes, I’ve seen many Japanese people shy or nervous at the beginning of the three -month courses. By the end, they are volunteering to give presentations.”
The power of storytelling will be the theme of a seminar, “Storytelling: Redefining Business Presentations,” that Menabney will give at the GLOBIS campus on November 2. He will discuss the use of narratives to communicate, persuade and motivate others. During the interactive seminar, Menabney will give the audience an introduction to storytelling (and tell a few stories of his own, no doubt). Participants will learn how to effectively structure and deliver stories in their speeches and business presentations.
