Do you have any idea why people are so fixated on Biden’s age but not Trumps? I know he’s 81, but Trump isn’t exactly far behind at 77: in fact he’s the second oldest. This keeps stumping me: it’s not a big gap in age
There are a few reasons for this, yes. As you might imagine, all of them are very stupid.
First and most critically is the way Trump's violent extremism has been completely neutered, mainlined, and normalized by the mainstream media. That's why we still have said media largely treating this as a normal presidential election, instead of that of a successful incumbent against literally the most deranged, unfit, treasonous, criminally and civilly liable, already-led-an-attempted-coup, deep-in-hock-to-Russia, adjudicated rapist, 91-felony-counts-indicted career cheater, grifter, and failed businessman who nonetheless appeals to the still-very-powerful isolationist, racist, white supremacist, and Christian nationalist elements in this country. Crucially, he also appeals to the billionaire class that owns the media and who will benefit from Trumpian tax, economic, and labor policies (especially now that Biden used the SOTU to once more call for a minimum 25% corporate/billionaire tax rate). The media also openly wants Trump back in office, as all the shitass insane things he did (and will do) are good for ratings, and allows them to act like the Principled Truth Tellers, instead of shilling so hard for a greasy orange fascist that we may well lose our 250+ year old democratic republic if he, God forbid, is elected again. Profit is more, well, profitable than truthful reporting, so the media has been completely disincentivized to cover this in any accurate way. We presume they will all wake up with shocked Pikachu faces when Trump packs them off to concentration camps with everyone else he hates, as he has openly promised to do.
Because we're also starting from an underlying premise that everything is the Democrats' fault, this means the party should be blamed for running said successful incumbent for reelection, even if he has low poll numbers which have in fact largely been produced by the media's relentlessly stupid and dishonest coverage. I was reading an article in the AP today about how 15 major student/youth groups have endorsed Biden and plan to work for his reelection; even so, the author could.not.stop going on and on about how Zomgz Old Biden was and how supposedly most Americans thought he was mentally unfit for the job (which is a straight-up lie produced by the endless "Zomgz Biden Old!!!!" handwringing have been subjected to without end. Weird how that works). That is also why we have all those idiotic "Biden should step down!!!" opinion pieces by Very Smart Pundits, notwithstanding the fact that a) it would be completely insane, b) it would be completely insane, and c) somehow nobody seems to think that hey, maybe the Republicans shouldn't nominate an openly seditionist generally god-awful fascist shitweasel who has already been the worst thing to happen to American politics in the twenty-first century (I'd say also the twentieth century, but unfortunately that was when we had Reagan).
In other words, Trump is just taken as a given, while the media spends all its time attacking Biden, calling on Biden to step down, amplifying "concerns" about Biden's age, producing idiotic narratives about Biden, distorting or ignoring the things Biden has done, and then writing concern-troll navel-gazing pieces earnestly wondering why people don't like Biden. (Apparently people's opinion of Biden drastically improves when they learn what he's actually accomplished, but the relentless parade of lies somehow makes it difficult for them to learn what those actually are. Again, weird.) Likewise the endless coverage we get of Biden's smallest slips or stumbles, while the media resolutely ignores Trump's full-on recent descent into absolute raving dementia. Hello, double standards!
This is also fueled by a heaping helping of racism and misogyny, because if God forbid Biden does die in office, what happens? The vice president takes over! We have a clear and constitutionally established precedent for this that has happened many times before! Except, oh no scary!!!, Biden's vice president is a brown woman, and that means SHE WOULD BE IN CHARGE!!!! TERRIFYING!!! So all the scaremongering around Biden's age, aside from being generally dishonest and stupid, has as its implicit message that sure, maybe you're fine voting for an old white man, but are you really comfortable doing that if it means a brown woman might also have the chance to be president?? I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE!!!!!
Anyway, yes. It's a complete straw man argument, it's fueled by bad faith and stupidity, and as with most things in the current American media environment, it's geared toward helping Trump win. Because you know. Something something BUT HER EEEEEEEEEEEEMAILS BUT BIDEN WAS OOOOOOOOOOOOLD.

I can guess your gripes re: Adam Ragusea (ahistorical and positivist educational videos, hocks supplements and fitness science, annoying lib, gentrifier, insists on expensive ingredients and time-consuming methods while pretending to be accessible) but I’d like to know exactly how he’s pissed you off and if there is anybody making videos about food science and history who you do like? Or if there’s some lit you can recommend on the subject?
honestly i definitely thought some of his older videos were useful but on principle i simply am not going to take gustatory advice from somebody flogging ketogenic breakfast cereal lmao.
i don't watch many video essays but book-wise, there's a ton of literature on food and nutrition history for sure. i liked laura ann twagira's book about malian foodways and there was also a pretty interesting chapter on food and colonialism in the middle east in on barak's "powering empire". ec spary's stuff on french food history since ~1740 is always good. nadja durbach's recent book on british food biopolitics is also worth a look, and helen zoe veit's "modern food, moral food" on us dietetics in relation to its efforts to amass military dominance in the 20th century. corinna treitel has published a bunch on food, national identity, and conceptions of 'naturalness' in modern germany. i also heard george solt's cultural history of ramen is a really fun read, although i haven't picked it up myself yet lol. if you get into histories of specific food items like that there are some really fascinating pieces of work, like heidi tinsman's "buying into the regime" about chilean grape politics in the cold war. lots on colonial production and imperial foodways in relation to commodities like coffee, chocolate, and dairy products; more than a few things i've glanced over about potatoes specifically. also, on tumblr, i've been really enjoying the essays on palestinian food and food politics (and recipes!) on najia-cooks :)

TIMING: Pre-goo LOCATION: The Common PARTIES: Owen (@apaininyourneck) and Siobhan (@banisheed) SUMMARY: Falling victim to a promise to share his murders with Siobhan, Owen meets up with her and spills more than he meant to.
A crochet fox tumbled off the bench, its plush body produced an enviable initial bounce and then a pitiful second bounce before it rolled away. Siobhan watched it with a glazed expression; no feeling or thoughts processed in the valley of her mind. Siobhan had no trouble finding the bench beside the man who sold the crochet animals, she did have several troubles with his presence, however. First: the annoying chorus of his hocking of nonsensical animal toys was unbearable the first second she heard it. Second: she didn’t understand why they weren’t crochet dead animals, roadkill made much cuter subjects, though she still preferred the real thing. Third: that the sight of him ruined the green horizon, staining it with his ugly, living human body; he, like the toys, would have looked better dead. She thought she devised the perfect plan when she purchased all his animals, certain that with nothing to sell, he would leave. Instead, as Siobhan piled up the useless toys on her bench, he produced a second box filled with even more crochet animals and a false sense of their worth, imbued by having a woman buy all of his first batch outright. He had become more annoying, Siobhan was buried in a pile of crochet animals, and Owen was nowhere to be seen. Not that she could really see from under the mountain of crochet. 
It was her fault that she refused to look at clocks based on the principle of the matter (how dare something tell her what the time is) but if Siobhan ever admitted something was her fault, the skies would turn red, birds would fall, and rivers would dry up. She thought it was in the best interest of the planet that she remained as she always had been. When Owen finally appeared, or at least, whatever spindly man she assumed to be Owen appeared, she swiped the bench and sent more crochet animals tumbling away. “Sit,” she commanded the man; no ‘hello’ or ‘how are you’ or ‘nice shirt’. “I’ve been sat here covered in these insipid toys; I’ve had a terrible day. I deserve entertainment.” The entertainment in question was the deal they’d made: Owen would tell her about his murders and she would pay him. It was a simple deal, but during rough times (boredom) she needed whatever she could get. Eventually, her manners came back to her. “Siobhan,” she said, hand outstretched. “Like on the internet. Normally I am sexy, today I am covered in toys. Tell me about your murders.” 
For someone who regularly sought out the unusual, the never before tried, Owen was surprised to find this town still had the ability to reveal something new. Some of the town’s inhabitants did, anyway. Talking blatantly and casually about murder online was more of a joke than anything else, meant to shock and offend. Being asked very seriously about ‘his murders’ in exchange for money was a first. For a moment, Owen considered bailing on the strange woman. Not like he particularly needed the money and talking to weirdos was always draining but something pulled him to the park that day. Morbid curiosity? 
Whatever the reason, Owen found himself surprised, again - a woman sat on the proposed bench, covered in crochet animals. The man at the stand looked very happy with himself, his creations’ lifeless eyes staring into the distance. Kicking away a stray animal that tumbled towards him, he sniffed at the demand. The thought ‘too dumb to be a narc’ popped into his head again. Arms crossing, petulantly not sitting down, Owen cocked his head. Entertainment was a morbid way to describe whatever this exchange was. “I would have picked a different location if I had known about your crochet fetish. My bad.”
Ignoring the offered hand, Owen finally took a seat, leaning back and spreading his legs so more crafts fell to the ground. The seller didn’t look all too pleased with how his work was being treated but a sideways glance from the slayer turned the man’s attention away. “Eager.” He regarded Siobhan curiously before the words spilled out. “First one was at sixteen. If you count beheading something that’s already dead a murder.” Perhaps a bit more information than he’d previously considered providing but Owen had never been all that shy about his origins. And it would be interesting to see this strange woman react. 
“It’s not a fetish,” Siobhan grumbled, pushing more crochet animals off of her. She wouldn’t admit it, but she was beginning to feel rather fond of them. At least, the weight of all of them felt a little like a very pointy blanket. She didn’t take offense to the lack of hand shaking, she wasn’t sure why humans did it to begin with. As a child, she assumed it was so you could feel up the metacarpals but when became more knowledgeable of the human world, she learned that it wasn’t polite to squeeze so tightly on someone’s hand. “Sixteen?” She repeated. She’d been fifteen herself, not that this was a competition (it was). 
Siobhan hummed, tapping her chin. “No, I don’t count that as a murder. If they’re already dead—a vampire or zombie or what have you—it doesn’t count. You’re just putting them back where they belong.” Was Owen a slayer? It didn’t matter much to her anyway, of all the hunters that existed, she liked slayers the best. They were the only sort she agreed with. “Tell me about a living person you killed.” She turned to him, excitement twinkling in her brown eyes. “Something good! Everyone does a little killing in their adolescence; it’s natural. I want the fun stuff.” She smiled wide. 
The lack of a reaction, doubled with Siobhan rattling off a few types of monsters, was telling in a way. She wasn’t like him, that much was clear, but knowledgeable for sure. Owen honestly couldn’t tell whether she was simply the weirdest human in town or something different. Either way, she was less than impressed with putting the undead back where they belonged - certainly a sentiment the slayer agreed with - which didn’t leave Owen with a lot of stories he particularly wanted to share. Leaving was always an option. Or just bullshitting this lady since this was resembling a bad prank video a bit too much. 
Lying came easy to Owen, it was second nature when sarcasm was the default and more than half of what left your mouth wasn’t serious in the slightest. Which is why it came as a surprise that the perfectly fabricated story in his mind stayed there when he spoke. “The first one wasn’t on purpose. I was just supposed to stop him, knock him out but human necks are much more fragile than vampires’.” His mouth clamped shut and an expression that was fairly unfamiliar to the slayer slid across his face - confusion. “I think his spine severed the moment the brick hit his head.” 
Without warning, Owen was on his feet, eyes narrowed and heart pounding. Her name had been inches away from leaving his mouth in connection to the story. A story he hadn’t even meant to tell, to this weird as shit stranger who… He felt off, ill almost, with every second that passed when he wasn’t speaking. “It was much easier after the first one. A few slayers, ones that found out about her, threatened her. Used their own weapons to get rid of them. A warning to the rest if they wanted to keep their eyes. Or their scalps.” 
Siobhan always thought delight looked good on her face; her features were suited to the actions. Her soft pink lips knew just how wide to go, and they pushed up the lightly freckled skin of her cheeks into her big, friendly brown eyes. Siobhan was aware she didn’t have many sharp edges, not really, and it was during her adolescent years—it was always the adolescent years that made a body seem detestable—she hated how soft she looked. As she’d aged, some sharpness had come to her but mostly she just looked like a woman enjoying her time with this lanky man. With the crochet animals on her lap, none of the grotesqueness of their conversation was apparent and she reveled in the dichotomy. She also reveled in the adorability of Owen’s actions against the futility of his situation. Even as a slayer, he was still just as silly as every other human.
A few more crochet animals tumbled from her lap: a fox, a sheep, a racoon and a bear. “Divine,” Siobhan hummed, imagining the crunch of his spine and the almost comical thud noise blunt objects made against the human body. Did the brick shatter when it hit the ground? Did his body bounce? What had Owen’s face looked like, staring down at the accident? What did he think when blood started to pool out from under the body? How did he hide? Did he even bother to? “Her?” Siobhan asked but she was smart enough to put the pieces together; what kind of a ‘her’ would earn the ire of slayers? “Love? Family? Sentimentality is strange, isn’t it? It can twist you against your own people.” She knew all about it.
Siobhan waved her hand in the air. “Okay, so how many was it? How many people did you kill for ‘her’? Did she think it was romantic? I would.”
His throat felt constricted, pieces settling together as the familiarity of the fog over his mind registered. Fae. A fucking fae that he had made an honest to fuck deal with. Apparently, the internet was fair play when it came to getting mind fucked. Siobhan looked completely unphased by the slayer now looming over her, even as anger settled over his features. It didn’t matter that the man responsible for adding stuffed animals to this situation was still present, still very curious about what was going on - a knife was withdrawn from inside Owen’s coat all the same. Except she was still rattling off questions and he was still obligated to answer them. 
“I lost count. Couple dozen, at least,” he gritted out, the sound of panicked footsteps running in the opposite direction reaching his ears. At least the damn audience was gone. Which allowed Owen to lean in closer, one arm braced on the bench behind her, the other holding the knife tight against her chest. It wasn’t iron but it would still hurt like a bitch. “We’re not talking about her and the deal is off. Now.”
The words burned his throat, made his grip on the knife a little bit shaky. Not part of the deal. “Lots of cut jugulars, it’s easy and quiet.” They kept spilling out but at least Owen had made no deal to answer questions about her. “Decapitation if I needed to make a point. Sometimes asphyxiation, sometimes they were supposed to wake up again but didn’t.”
“Oh, getting kinky, are we?” Siobhan grinned, flush with delight. The sting of his knife digging into her chest was an electric thrill across her body; sharp pains were her favorite, nothing like the throbbing ache of a punch or the burning aftermath of a stab. A firework; brilliant and bright, popping under her skin. It was easy to say that Siobhan adored knives. From the mess of crochet animals, her hand slipped out and she pressed one of her knives to the underside of his wrist. “I didn’t know you felt this way about me, Owen. Oh, you’re just an adorable lad, aren’t you?” Most people didn’t understand that she could kill them far more easily than they could kill her; it wasn’t the knife Owen had to worry about, which she held rather casually at an admittedly weak angle for herself, but the seconds it would take her to breathe. Hands moved slower than mouths. Screams happened faster than jugular slashes and she didn’t even need to scream, that right kind of squeak would do it. To Siobhan, practiced in her deadliness, threats were a baby’s babbling and the fact that no one ever seemed to understand this was the thing that actually scared her; boredom was terrifying. 
It was for that reason that she never screamed; her fun had to be invented when the sort of people she was stuck dealing with were so unoriginal. “Sore subject, Owen?” Siobhan’s grin widened, spreading lopsidedly across her face. “I didn’t know you had a lover’s heart under there; all broken now, is it? Do you see her? When you think of taking off my head, do you see hers? Do you imagine the curve of her neck, the softness of her lips? Do you see her teeth? You must have loved her teeth. Did she bite you? Did you like it when she did? Did it make you feel loved?” Siobhan shook her head, pitching her knife harder against his wrist, forcing him to make a choice: either try to kill her or take the bloody thing away. “Darling, you’re all smoke. You see it, don’t you? You’re a dying fire, smoldering; smoke in the shape of a man.” She shook her head again. “I release you from your promise to me, pet.” 
The threat of a knife to the chest did literally nothing except delight the fae who seemed to grow more amused by the second. Owen, on the other hand, was a breath away from snapping. There weren’t many situations where he wouldn’t be amused and interested in a discussion about the innate nature of knives which didn’t involve killing but this was one of them. His head felt stuffed to the brim with more and more memories, stories being dragged to the surface by the deal, stories that had successfully been kept under lock and key for years. “And you’re a bitch,” he hissed back, even with a second blade now added to the equation. Not a clever retort by far but at least it wasn’t yet another admission from his past. 
With every word Siobhan spoke, his knuckles grew whiter, edge of his knife pressing harder against her chest even as it caused the blade against his own skin to do the same. Owen wanted to laugh at her, to belittle the words she cooed like facts but the only thing waiting on the tip of his tongue was the reasoning for all the murders which would only confirm the fae’s little narrative. He would have shoved the knife through her chest then and there, consequences to his own odds of survival be damned, if the knowledge that she would just enjoy it hadn’t been lingering. 
The noise he made as he finally backed away was closer to a growl than anything else, a few stray drops of blood trickling from his wrist. Smoke didn’t bleed. Smoke didn’t feel all encompassing anger of the likes currently directed at Siobhan. 
A veil lifted then, clearing his mind from the pressure of more stories, more sharing, but leaving behind the bitter aftertaste and the fae’s cleverly concocted words. Owen could try to kill her now but he didn’t have the equipment, didn’t have the knowledge. Didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of taking his life along with everything else she had managed to claim in just these last few minutes. “You don’t know shit,” he spat instead, still clutching at the knife like a lifeline. “And the only fact here is that I’m going to find you again.” 
“Oh no, not a bitch…” Siobhan teased, her voice withered through the air in one extended breath. Where Owen’s anger filled the space between them, an almost palpable heat that rose off of his contorted features, Siobhan found herself increasingly curious. What happened with his vampire lover that turned him so sour? Did she get bored of him? Did he suddenly know better, that higher being wouldn’t fall for a pathetic human? No, Siobhan reasoned that if he’d been the one to break off their little engagement, he wouldn’t be so angry about it. It must have been her and whatever she did, he must have really loved her. Did he kill her? Did he have the strength to watch his lover leave? Siobhan ached to know, as if Owen’s life was some book she’d tossed open and now needed the ending of. He wouldn’t give it to her. Likely, if she tried, he’d stab her and he wouldn’t be a gentleman about it. Pity. 
“Oh no, you’re going to find me? What are you going to do? Cry at me?” Siobhan dug around her crochet pile until she found a little bunny, with ears longer than its chunky, gray crochet body. She held it out to him, ears flopping; a harmless creature, a sweet, innocent, rosy-cheeked creature. “One for the road, Owen? Maybe if you hug it while you sleep it’ll send your sad dreams away.” She watched blood drip from his wrist in drops so tiny that she couldn’t find them when they fell. He clutched his knife like that was the thing he slept with and Siobhan thought that he probably did. “Owen, darling, don’t be cross with me. You’ll still be filled with self-loathing if you kill me. As much as it pains me to say this, sometimes murder is not the solution.” She shook the bunny. “Well?” 
Owen knew he should have left by now. Maybe if he was someone who was used to his confidence getting dug at, his whole being turned inside out, he would have recognized the signs that this was well and beyond over. Well, he did recognize the signs but was foolishly choosing to ignore them because she couldn’t be allowed to have the last word. His jaw ached from the tension of clenching it, narrow eyes turning from the fae to the fluffy creature being held out to him. 
“You’ve heard my stories. I’ll think of something creative for you,” he gritted out, furious at how the tables were turned. Normally the one putting people on edge, the one getting threatened with violence while casually grinning, now Owen found himself on the other end of it. With a heavy exhale, his grip on the knife loosened slightly, blood finally flowing back into the clenched fingers. “Not the solution, no. Going to be really fucking fun and satisfying, though.” 
The knife sliced through yarn and cotton with ease, leaving only half a torso and a head in Siobhan’s hand, fluff dripping from the bunny like blood. Owen stalked away once the offending bunny had gotten what it deserved, which was a picnic compared to what he would do to Siobhan when the time came.

Something I don't think we talk about enough is the absolute poison capitalism has been for morality and ethics.
Like: when "profit" becomes THE organizing principle for action, anything can be justified. If you take as your fundamental rule "anything which might create profit or capital is Good, and likely Necessary", then what limits are there to your behavior? Literally ANYTHING can be SAID to POTENTIALLY create profit, or increase the number of workers in-hock to your capital and thus fair-game to wage-theft, so ANYTHING can be done. A moral system which allows anything to be done is, by definition, no moral system at all: it's License; it's Self-indulgence; it's Amorality and the Death of Virtue. To become a capitalist is to throw away your soul.

I truly never want to go back to the well of talking about modern Persona ever again. I apologise now, but seeing as my blog entry on Persona 3 was about a fandom discussion from the yester-years, I never got the chance to reflect on a fairly obnoxious bit of ludonarrative dissonance in Persona 3. I know talking about how awful the writing is in modern Persona is overdone (For me, anyway), but it's kind of interesting, so apologies again. Firstly, ludonarrative dissonance, a term coined by Clint Hocking, exists to describe the friction between two systems, oft intertwined, and the dissonance this friction creates (These two systems are in the name; ludic, of play, and narrative, of storytelling). Secondly, the dissonance can only come from play and narrative, not narrative and narrative. Scenes like the opening, where Takeba is trying to use the Evoker outside of the Dark Hour for no reason (Including trying to use it as a regular gun), is disqualified from this discussion. Although, that scene is a great example of the writing problems Persona 3 and all of modern Persona have had from the jump. Finally, defining what play is and isn't when it comes to ADV, sound novels, visual novels, bishoujo, etc. is a slippery slope of needless definition and refusals; Play for the purposes of this post is exclusively in the dungeon crawler RPG segments, nothing more and nothing less.
At the end of Persona 3, before the final segment of Tartarus and the final boss, the player is tasked w/ deciding the fate of the world; Live or die. These are the two options presented by Death. At this point in the narrative, the main cast have all faced some form of death, largely parental death. Faced w/ the decision to live previously, these characters all chose to live according to their own principles and values. While this is another example of dissonance between writing, apologies, during the choice segment (An entire month!), the principle cast all doubt whether they should continue existing, including Aegis saying that the cast should choose to die instead of live, that death is inevitable, and that there's no proper way to escape the ever present presence of death (Not Death, who is a person, a demon, and the moon). This sequence is badly written, makes little sense, and comes directly into conflict w/ play and the theming of play.
The principle cast, including the dog, all have a simulacrum of a gun, called an Evoker, which when fired, summons a demon. Evokers are plot devices, seen mostly in combat when used, and not particularly worth noting. As for theming, Persona 3 is badly written and badly made. There's really not much theming, but there's one clear idea. One must kill themselves to resist death. Shooting oneself in the head is the method for every character, except the dog. Suicide is not necessarily literal, as much as it is the removal of one's outer personality. To kill yourself is to kill Ego.
Regularly, the principle cast will metaphorically kill themselves, while facing actual life ending danger. At every point in the narrative, every character is deeply familiar to, suffering from, and facing death. The protagonists all gain immense power from confronting the deaths in their lives and marching onward, not letting themselves fall into grief. This is odd, right? When given the choice of death by Death, the cast all start to wallow in grief. They take an entire month to tell Death that they've no interest in dying or seeing other people die, willing to go so far as to fight a literal god in order to stop their imminent destruction. Yet, play tells us that these characters have long since made that decision. In fact, Takeba already faced these decisions twice in the opening of the game. Trembling, cowering, and trying to shoot herself despite not being the Dark Hour (Again, really bad writing). Takeba then fails to fight off the Shadow on the roof, getting attacked while hesitating, forcing Death to kill the Shadow. Not long after these events, Takeba is perfectly fine using an Evoker and fighting in Tartarus. Takeba, at the beginning of the game, fails and then in play, rectifies that failure. Why then would she or anyone else be paralysed by fear in the face of Death's ultimatum at the end of the game?
I think it'd be remiss of me to not mention how this bit of ludonarrative dissonance came about. It's quite simple and very obvious, but trend chasing. In the 2000s, the trend of video games were focused almost solely on appealing to teenage male sensibilities; Edgy, horny, misogynistic, and violent. Franchises like Pokemon, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, God of War, and Gears of War, just to name a few, were all part of this trend. This trend did not necessarily start in the 2000s, w/ early examples being late 90s classic Final Fantasy VIII. VIII ditched the colourful menus, replacing them w/ a solid grey background. While not the first Final Fantasy to have war in it, VIII's featuring of child soldiers, war, violence, and bloodshed made it stand out as more "Mature" as compared to its ancestors. One of the first things seen in VIII is the unskippable opening scene, where Squall and Seifer stab each other, leaving blood splattered on the ground, which the camera focuses on quite heavily. Persona 3, a reboot, was being developed amid this trend cycle, and released in 2006, the same year as Gears of War. Persona 3 is edgy, horny, misogynistic, homophobic (the lesser acknowledged favourite of the 2000s), transphobic (The other lesser acknowledged favourite of the 2000s), and violent. We can see here how the game came to have children committing suicide in play. That sort of element was incredibly popular at the time; Persona has been, since inception, designed to appeal to the main stream. For game likers in 06, the edgier elements of Persona 3 were the expected and the draw. What's edgier must have more meaning, right? Wrong. Elements like the Evoker are pretentious; They don't have much or any value, what they say is meaningless, and their reason for existence is the market (This is true of the entire game, which is exclusively designed to chase trends). This is how products like Persona 3 end up w/ some form of dissonance, be it ludonarrative or otherwise. The inorganic does not allow for creativity nor does it inspire such.

BEGGAR'S CHICKEN - STEADFAST IN ADVERSITY 
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : Since the two of you have such ambitions, then these properties will be given to you.
??? : Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! 
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : No need to thank me. I just hope you don't forget what you said and work hard to make a name for yourself in the future.
MASTER : Eh? What is this? Why are those two thanking him?
YUXIANG PORK : Heheh~ That guy probably thinks he's done some great deeds! The way I see it, though, what he's doing is meaningless~ 
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : What...Do you mean?
YUXIANG PORK : Oops, looks like he heard me~ Then I'll cut to the chase. I almost laughed out loud, seeing someone fall for such low-level deception. That beggar is limping on his right leg. When he was wandering around here last time, he was limping on his left~
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : !!!
Beggar's Chicken's face blanches, and his lips tremble--Although he was born a poor beggar, he was strong and broke out of that world. The two beggars' deceit drives him into a fury.

HARBIN FRIED PORK : Alas, Master. It looks like one of Yuxiang Pork's rare moments of sincerity has hurt an upright and fragile soul...
As soon as Harbin Fried Pork finishes speaking, Beggar's Chicken chases him out like a gust of wind. 
MASTER : I think he's really angry, so quit it with the sarcastic remarks!
-
BEGGAR A : Today's a lucky day. I ran into a stupid guy--I just made up some nonsense about how to be a good man, and he paid us these taels of silver!
BEGGAR B : That guy looked very smart. I didn't expect him to be so easy to fool. I guess looks can be deceiving! 
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : ...Stop right there.
BEGGAR A : B-Benefactor--!?
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : You put on quite a show.
BEGGAR A : ...
BEGGAR A : Oh? So, you knew all along. Then what did you run over here for? Do you want to get back what you were foolish enough to give away? What a joke!
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : My kindness--
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : Is for those who still have hope in their hearts even though they've been left in the dust. It should never be given to you bunch of lazy vermin who betray the trust of others.
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : In this world, people earn dignity by themselves, and you...Are not worthy! 
BEGGAR A : Hmph, you really are stupid. Now, you're going up against the two of us alone! I can't believe you have the guts to say...We're not worthy? Let's see how soft your mouth is when it meets our fists!
MASTER : He's not alone! 
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : Master? Why are you--
MASTER : Of course, it's for the love and peace of the world and for inextinguishable justice!!!
MASTER : Ugh, this is more Braised Pork Hock's kind of thing!
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : ...
MASTER : I was just so fired up by what you said just now, so I started talking nonsense--Anyway, let's go! Let's teach these jerks a lesson!
*FIGHT*
Tumblr media
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : Master, it seems like you want to say something to me.
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : Even if you tease me, I'll own up to it. Even though I was excited just now, and I gave those guys a piece of my mind...I...I really can't stand those kinds of...Those kinds of depraved people...
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : But, this time, I know that I was too naive, and It's clear I don't adequately understand people...
MASTER : I'm not going to make fun of you. I wanted to tell you that you're honest and kind, and you have principles. As for everything else, just live and learn, and things will get better--
MASTER : Heheh, basically, you're a shining diamond and a good comrade that deserves praise!
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : ...A diamond...
BEGGAR'S CHICKEN : The person you're describing...Sounds more like yourself...

[...] to experience the “reality of the real” characterizing intensive space, we must rethink space as perception and sensation rather than as measurement. Here, what Deleuze repeatedly states about depth in Difference and Repetition to reinforce the link between depth and intensive space—that is, the principle that “depth is simultaneously the imperceptible and that which can only be perceived”—is equally applicable to intensity, which “is simultaneously the imperceptible and that which can be sensed” (Deleuze 1997: 230–31). The imprecision of such means of apprehension is, in fact, compatible with the nature of depth that is partly always hidden, thus directly implicating this space with a degree of uncertainty. Based on the explication above, it can be concluded that the fold is a kind of intensive space capable of generating multiple intensities, and by extension, varying sensations and perceptions. In this regard, it is not merely how the pli is perceived or sensed that makes it intriguing, but also the kinds of perceptions and sensations it generates that consequently affect us.

"Treating Convicts Like Humans," Richmond Times Dispatch. June 7, 1942. Page 45. ==== 'In the name of the debts that we have paid arc paying and are about to pay we plead for the right to defend the nation of all nations - America,' cry inmates of the Penitentiary --- By Overton Jones BEHIND those high brick walls at 500 Spring Street a restlessness In the air these days more noticeable than usual. It Isn't because the gentle breezes of Springtime drift lazily across the penitentiary recreational field where brown-dad convicts are wont to spend their idle moments In the afternoon when the work is over.
Instead it's the war responsible for the accelerated desire to say goodbye to that institution which even in peacetimes exactly the place a person would choose in which to spend his vacation. It wouldn't be accurate to say that all of the 4200 or so prisoners confined in the Virginia penal system are chaffing at the bit in their desire to get out and do their part in this war. But it is true that hundreds of these so-called outcasts of society would nothing better than to be allowed to serve in Uncle Sam's fighting forces and to take a crack at Adolph Schickelgruber and that son of the Rising Sun. In fact the prisoners writing in the current issue of The Beacon, penitentiary inmate periodical suggest that if the sinless soldiers in the army want to be contaminated by contact with "cons" then let the government set up a "Legion Damned" in which will fight men released from the nation's prisons. "It's better than an even money bet that wen the war is over we'd be hocking more medals than twice our number among the pure and undefiled," write the two convicts.
This eagerness of outcasts to join the fight for the protection of that society may surprise some of the citizenry who enjoy the privilege of coming and going when and where they please and who know nothing of what goes on behind those towering walls on Spring Street. But Rice Youell is not surprised. After all a man who's just rounded out his twentieth year as penitentiary superintendent ought to know pretty well what to expect from the men who live behind those walls. "The patriotism of the people in prison is as good as that of the people outside" he commented. Despite their confinement they too respect the principles for which America is fighting and would like to be In there doing their bit, he explained.
Not that the major would advocate throwing open the prison doors of America and letting the entire male prison population don the military uniform. That would be foolhardy. But he believes a good many prisoners should be allowed to become soldiers, their selection, of course, being handled extremely carefully. 'Give Them a Clean Sheet' And what about these men when the war is over? Should they be slapped back into the pen? "Give them a clean sheet and let them start all," Virginia's prison head suggested. If you are inclined to question the judgment on this matter it might be to recall that for 20 years his job has been to direct the handling of Virginia's prison population and in 20 years a man ought to get to know pretty well the people he's dealing- with.
Evidently Governor Darden thinks the major has done a good job for it is reported the penitentiary superintendent soon will leave that post to take over the task of guiding the Department of Corrections set up by the recent General Assembly. When he steps into his new task Major Youell can look back on 20 years of labor on behalf of the prisoners of Virginia and for the State itself His work (and he declares emphatically that the State Prison Board deserves the major credit) has drawn nation-wide attention and prison system has in many ways become a model for other States to copy.
But leaving the more technical side of prison administration for experts to deal with, it's interesting to take a glimpse back over the years at some of the human interest which have marked the V.M.I. football career as a penologist. It's hard to get him to talk about this side of his Job because the Virginia Penitentiary superintendent the dramatic type warden you read about in the novels and see on the screen. His aim has been to do a good job of prison administration without drama publicity and frills.
Last week, though, Major Youell did take a couple of hours off to reminisce a little and to recall among other things that the famed Mais and Legenza case of 1935 probably received more publicity than any other single case in the past 20 years
If you were living in Richmond on March 9, 1934, you remember how the city was rocked by news of the highway robbery of a Federal Reserve truck at the Broad Street Station overpass and the murder of E. M. Huband, the driver. Mais, Legenza and three other members of the notorious Tri-State gang pulled the job, giving Richmond an unwelcome taste of big-time criminal activities. Moving on to Baltimore, Mais and Legenza continued their career of crime but they finally were captured in that city and by August were brought back to Richmond for trial and both were condemned to die in the electric chair at the State Penitentiary.
But if Major Youell prepared a couple of death-house cells for his two newcomers due to arrive in October he was doomed to disappointment. On September 29, a date that will live in crime history, the two murderers staged the most daring jailbreak the city has ever known. Behind them, they left a trail of blood with one policeman mortally wounded and another felled by bullets from pistols smuggled into their cells. They commandeered an automobile on East Broad Street and made their escape as police from throughout this section of the country began a gigantic manhunt In Richmond the death of the patrolman fatally wounded when the gangsters made their bold dash for freedom, the suicide of the City Jail deputy who had stood guard at their cell doors and a grand jury investigation which recommended sweeping changes in the administration marked the aftermath of the sensational break.
Call Led to Arrest Cornered, finally, on the station platform at Wayne Junction, Pa., Mais and Legenza shot it out with police but Legenza broke his leg in a 30-foot jump from an embankment to a concrete street. They escaped again but the wound forced Legenza to seek hospital treatment in New York. A telephone call from Mais to a friend in Philadelphia was intercepted by police and the two finally were captured.
It was a small army of Federal men and local police which brought the two murderers to the door of the State Penitentiary on January 22 That same day they were taken separately to Hustings Court and new dates set for their execution.
For days the hardened criminals showed no evidence of fear that the end was approaching. But as the execution date drew close they began reading their Bibles praying and singing joining the chaplain in words of familiar hymns. He would tell them the story of the condemned thief on the cross and the Master's words of promise.
"When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more ..." were the words which rang through death row.
Strange, when criminals whose deeds have been blazoned across the headlines are doomed to death, reactions of the public take a peculiar twist. Major Youell received one threatening letter, warning him of dire consequences if the executions were carried out. Evangelical pamphlets flooded the mail from religious folk who hoped to be the means of saving the souls of the two condemned men.
An avalanche of requests for the privilege of witnessing the executions poured into the office Twelve witnesses saw the first of the two men die another 12 watched the second death. "You are requested to be at the penitentiary Saturday February 2 at 7:30 A.M. to witness the execution of William Davis (Legenza) Please present this card at the the door." That's the way the invitations read When Criminals Fell Out MAJOR YOUELL'S 20 years' experience virtually lacks any mass prison escape episodes. There've been numerous breaks of one or two prisoners of course but nothing on a really big scale.
It was back in '35 that the major pulled what he described at that time as "a mean piece of psychology" to foil a projected prison break. It seems that he was tipped off that five of his guests in the big house were planning to vamoose without lingering to say goodbye. But he didn't throw the five into solitary confinement or take other drastic measures. Instead, he summoned each one of the plotters individually to a prison office and seated him before an open door, where fellow conspirators could see him when they went by to the mess hall. As the major had anticipated, each plotter thought the others had squealed and a quarrel resulted. The escape plans collapsed.
Directing administration of a prison is a grim business but not without its humorous side .Take the case of the phoney French millionaire. One day back in May' 1936 Major Youell received a letter addressed to "Monsieur le Directeur du Penitencier de I-Etat de Virginia Etats Unis d'Amerique du Nord." The major opened the letter and saw it was in French and being no expert at reading that language he sent it to Arthur James, then State Welfare Commissioner, who made a translatio,n but figured better get somebody else to translate it, too, so he forwarded it to Principal James Harwood of John Marshall High School. A teacher of French at the school finally translated it and sent it back to Major Youell. First, there was a newspaper clipping from a French paper which said that "it is the penitentiary of Virginia which harbors this unusual prisoner" a nobleman who killed a woman who refused his advances being sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime. "In his cell (said the French newspaper) Juan set up an extraordinary washing machine so extraordinary that he found a' partner who allowed him 50 per cent on the profits. A year later the lawyer for the prisoner already had several thousand dollars to the account of his clien.t This did not fill Juan with Joy. He despaired at finding himself rich and in prison He attempted suicide twice. Having been saved from suicide the prisoner has become a philanthropist and from his prison he carries on works of charity he comes to the aid of poor people and of Don Juan has become a patron of the arts."
Then there was a letter to Mr. Directeur asking him to pass on to Juan another letter which explained the purpose of the communication In the letter to Juan the writer told a sad story of being broke and pleaded with the nobleman "to make a Frenchman happy by sending him same of those dollars which you dispose of."
Major Youell didn't have any prisoner answering the description of the nobleman but he did repent having at that time a French prisoner a master of invention and a little queer mentally. This fellow he said may have smuggled out a letter which resulted in the French newspaper article.
One of the less imposing but important achievements at the penitentiary in recent years has been the building up of a prison library under the direction of the Rev. Henry Lee Robison, Jr. director of religious work in State institutions.
Travel books are the most popular nonfiction volumes in the library, Mr. Robison reported. One day just before delivering a sermon to the inmates, Mr. Robison held up before them some travel books which had just been purchased for the library.
"All of us ought to be interested in traveling," he declared. There was silence for a few moments and then a roar of laughter swept through the assembly room, much to the embarrassment of the clergyman. That however was not as inappropriate as the remark made by a speaker, who told the prisoners as he left them after making an address on one occasion that he would be back the following year and "I hope to see you all again."
But more popular than any of the nonfiction books even travel are the Zane Grey Western stories. Murders too are eagerly sought after In for Readers" in The Beacon comments run like this: 'Murder Up My Sleeve," by Earl Stanley Gardner is typical of Mr. Gardner's stories. A millionaire with a reputation was murdered. Terry Clane, a new and exciting character created by Mr. Gardner, found himself involved. Using extraordinary methods to solve an extraordinary murder he beats them to the punch in a mystery that is filled with surprise cunning and excitement." And in another comment the prisoners are told that in one book the villain killed people "with mirthful and original inventiveness."
Interest in the library has been stimulated through the school at the penitentiary attendance at which is compulsory for all men who completed the fifth grade of schooling. Superintendent Youell is a firm believer in education of men within prisons, bemoaning that some people feel it's a waste of money to provide educational facilities for prisoners. "It is such a pity that so many people have the age-old feeling that the closing of prison doors behind a prisoner ends his case," he said. "We all know that the vast majority of prisoners go back to society so it is only a common sense problem that we should do everything in our power to salvage just as many of these unfortunates as possible," The penitentiary school's first annual commencement exercises were held in June 1937, in the prison chapel, while outside a terrific rainstorm beat at the windows. The stormy weather was not an omen of the future history, as it has grown in popularity and usefulness, although those directly responsible would like considerably more money to provide better equipment with which to work.
One old Negro convict who even read a few years ago now values above all his possessions a Bible and an oversized dictionary. He gave a Negro boy five bags of marbles for the dictionary. Asked how much he would sell his two books for he replied:
"Boss them books are going to be with me when I die." There was another man who was condemned to die in the chair but shortly after the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment he turned up at the school and in due course was graduated after having completed the fifth grade. Not satisfied with graduating once, he was on hand again the following September and went through the course and was given another diploma. They finally had to make him an instructor to get him out of school. Three Causes of Discontent SPEAKING with the authority of a man with 20 experience in penology Major Youell last week listed three things which can cause trouble among prisoners at a penitentiary: overcrowding, poor food, and idleness. Today, the food at the penitentiary is good - not fancy, of course, but adequate and nourishing. The writer of this article and Major Youell were walking through the penitentiary last week when the superintendent stopped to chat a moment with an old Negro prisoner. The Negro who said he had been at the pen since 1904, was asked about the food and according to his account what's put on the table in the prison mess hall today is like a banquet compared to those days when he first entered the institution.
As to idleness today, there is no such problem at the prison here. Ten excellent prison industries are operating teaching the men fine workmanship in the wool and cotton textile trades, printing, metal trades, and machine shops. Not only do the men learn useful trades, which they can find of value when they leave prison, but they also are kept occupied producing goods which State institutions use. In the field of prison industry Virgina's penitentiary stands as a model for other States. As to the first of the trouble-makers listed by the superintendent - that of overcrowding Virginia - certainly has been guilty of allowing this situation to exist at the big house on Spring Street. In small cells which only one man should sleep three men have been living. One of the three has had to sleep on the floor.
Fortunately, though, even as this is being written officials are making arrangements to move many of the prisoners to the new cell house just completed on the penitentiary grounds and when the new unit is occupied there will be only one man to a cell. Each cell has a cot, table, chair, sanitary facilities, an enclosed lighting fixture, operated from a main switch, and plugs for radio headsets. Each prisoner will have earphones on which he can listen to the radio according to Major Youell.
And so life in the penitentiary moves on a life not pleasant perhaps but far less abhorrent under modern penal theories than that of even a few decades ago when all emphasis was on punishment and not on rehabilitation. Today in Virginia's penitentiary convicts can express their views through their own prison publication, just as they are doing in the timely discussion on the proposal that men in prison be released to serve in the armed forces.
"The heart that beats under a prison shirt is Just as truly American as the heart of the man in the street," says The Beacon. "Contrary to popular belief most men in our prisons today have an honest regret for the mistakes of the past and a burning desire to make amends. Most of us ask for plead for the privilege of defending a flag that is as dear to us as to John Q. Public. Most of us would feel extremely honored to die behind a smoking gun aimed toward society to know that we too know how to die for so worthy a cause. "When America has completely smashed her rodent foes and if there should be any of the 'Legion left alive reward us with supervised parole until proven our right to permanent freedom.
"In the name of the debt that we have paid are paying and are about to pay to society we plead for the right to defend the nation of all nations, America." Photo captions:
Top left: Rice Youell (left) who has rounded out 20 years as penitentiary superintendent confers with Frank Smyth who is in charge of prison industries such as the metal shop at right. Middle: Dapper Gangster Robert Hals and his henchman Walter Legenza created more notoriety for their murderous robbery here and subsequent prison break in 1934 than was attached to any other Penitentiary case in the last generation.
Top right: Trouble caused at the Big House by crowding three into a one-man cell about to be done away with.
[Top notch carceral propaganda - the large scale Virginia road camp system, where the majority of African American prisoners were incarcerated, is not mentioned once.]

What can I expect from working with a life coach for professionals?
Tumblr media
People in positions of power—political, corporate, or professional—increasingly understand the value that a life coach can bring.
Whether you've decided to work with a life coach to optimize your productivity, eliminate unproductive habits, or transform your professional life, achieving your desired results requires a multifaceted strategy and the support of a life coach.
Here, we've listed the top things you expect from working with a life coach for professionals.
Improve Your Mental Health
Productivity is at the core of almost every area of your life, so it's no surprise that you'd work with a life coach to increase it. Studies show that regularly engaging with the coach reduces stress and improves your mental health.
Moreover, the coaching process encourages you to explore new ways to think, interact, and behave, helping to increase your mental awareness and flexibility. To name just a few outcomes, working with a life coach has been shown to decrease depression and anxiety, increase cognitive efficiency, and promote career growth.
Consider working with a life coach if you're serious about becoming more productive and raising your mental health.
Eliminate Unproductive Habits
We all have habits that drain our mental energy and productivity, but it's not always easy to pinpoint the source of our stress. That's where a life coach for professionals comes in. After establishing a baseline of your performance, the coach can help you identify the habits causing you discomfort and strife, and develop strategies to eliminate them.
There are numerous examples of powerful, productive people who decided to work with a business coach for entrepreneurs to eliminate unproductive habits that were interfering with their effectiveness. Take Bob Proctor, for example. In his case, the unproductive habits he sought to change were procrastination and blaming. He has eliminated both of these bad habits, and firmly believes that they've greatly improved his productivity and quality of life.
What are the unproductive habits that you'd like to eliminate? The answers could be many: procrastination, laziness, unhealthy social behavior, etc.
Raise Your Self-Esteem
Business coach for entrepreneurs can be both challenging and enlightening. They can help you pinpoint areas where you lack confidence and give you the tools to increase it.
An indicator of how much your self-esteem has improved since working with the coach is how you perform in social settings. Before working with the coach, you might have struggled with low self-esteem, causing you to hide yourself away in your office or hide your talents in hock.
Working with a coach builds your self-confidence. They can help you recognize your strengths and capabilities and build your self-image.
Consider working with a coach to help you raise your self-esteem and gain confidence in who you are and what you can achieve.
Final words to keep in mind
What are your goals? What do you want to achieve in your life? These are valuable questions, especially now that you are clarifying your vision. Your goals and vision should be consistent and complementary.
For example, if your goal is to become an author, and you see that vision in your life, you'll want to take steps to accomplish this goal. What are your short- and long-term goals?
Your vision is your life philosophy. It is your metaphysical view of the world. It is the big picture that you seek to adhere to. Your vision is your guiding principle.
Clarifying your goals and vision is a deliberate process. You can start by asking yourself questions about your life. What do you want to achieve? Why do you want to achieve that? Brainstorm ideas and write them down on post-its. Keep these goals and principles in mind as you work through the coaching process.

🌙 - Eldrid
🌊 - Fleuret
🐟- Azusa
"My list of favorites?" Eldrid blinks and then smirks. "Well, I don't wanna give away too much info, but I can tell you some things. For food, I absolutely love Schweinshaxe! For those of you who don't know, its essentially just roasted ham hock, which is the end of a pig's leg. I could probably go an entire month eating nothing but that until I get sick of it!"
"For my favorite season, I'd have to definitely say Winter. Yeah, its cold as fuck outside, but that just makes it good weather to get out and exercise. And besides that, have you ever sat down in a lake in the middle of winter? Its so freakin' invigorating!" She says, laughing heartedly.
"Let's see... my favorite color... probably red, and I mean like a dark shade of red. Don't ask me why. It's just something about red that gets me invigorated. No surprise, really. Red is a dynamic color, meant to get you excited." She says, smirking.
"Let's do one more before we wrap this up. Let's see... my favorite drink! Of course, its alcohol! But as for what kind, without a doubt, Jägermeister! I can drink that for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even desert! Its not ideal for getting you drunk, but you can get a pretty good buzz off it... at least, I can!" Eldrid laughs out loud at her joke.
"On my days off, if he's not busy with his... coéquipières, I'll often head over to Yokohama and spend time with l'homme que j'aime, Rio. He and I often talk about what is going on each other's lives. He'll often regale me with some of his old war stories, fighting alongside my father. It's always intéressante listening to him." She said, smiling.
"If Rio is busy, then I'll often hang with Azusa and Eldrid, if either of them have time. If they are busy, I'll usually head home and either watch mes jeunes frères et sœurs for my parents, or read some novels. Either some my father's collection, or my own. I'm actually in the middle of a novel written by Gentaro of Shibuya. It's very entertaining!"
"I don't really remember much of time as toddler, I'm afraid. From what my father tells me, I was pretty much like I am now: very quiet and strange." Azusa shakes her head, laughing softly. "As a child, I would always watch my father train his students in our dojo. He wouldn't let me join, saying I was 'too young' or 'too little'. At the age of 10, after months of begging, he finally relented and let me hold a kendo stick." Azusa looks down at her hands, reminiscing.
"I remember the moment of having it in my hands. It was so heavy, I couldn't even lift it up above my head." She laughs. "Eventually as I got older, I got stronger and more disciplined. My father once told me that I was the living carnation of Tomoe Gozen." Azusa laughs again, before stopping, sighing sorrowfully.
"As a teenager, I was pretty much the same. Unfortunately, my teenage years are when things started going downhill for our dojo. And that's also when my mother disappeared and my dad got sick. It was after that he handed over ownership of the dojo to me. Me, a 19-year-old just out of high school." Azusa smiles, though its sad.
"I did my best to stick to my father's way of teaching and his principles. Unfortunately, it was during that the the "H. Era" started, and people started ditching their swords for microphones." Azusa shakes her head. "As for what I'll be doing in the future, who knows? If there's two things I've learned in my 24 years of living, its that tomorrow is never promised, and that anything is possible."

(Belated) Weekly Update 14/11
Last week's goal: Assess what changes can/need to be made to the first half; rewrite Sc1 Completed the reverse outline and did a bit of the assessment; didn't do the rewrite (see below) Goal for this week: Write 10k words
Summary ATN So, I think I am going to let this draft rest for a little while. It's less because I actually want to and more because I've been utterly consumed by other WIP ideas, but I'm leaving off it for the time being. Possibly at the start of December I'll get back into hardcore rearranging and whatnot, but right now it all seems a little too intimidating and I'm at a point where it does make sense to step away from it for a little while, so I'm gonna take advantage of that. ^_^ Hoping to come back to it refreshed and raring to go!
Those Aforementioned Other WIPs Aka the bane of my existence right now. >.<
So obviously I have D&D. It's been simmering in the back of my mind since I was about halfway through drafting ATN, and I've been slowly developing it and doing bits of outlining and teeny little excerpts as they came to me, and everything was going great. And then. And then.
Fucking PS comes along and basically sledgehammers its way into my life.
Look: I made a list of pros and cons for each:
D&D:
single POV
fairly straightforward story
climax came to me early
somewhat marketable?
familiar with characters (basically a mash-up of other story ideas)
lots of worldbuilding but again, mostly familiar
requires a decent whack of research, though I know I won't have to search too hard for the info I need
heavy themes that I still feel although I can do justice
requires me to write car races from the POV of the driver, which I've only done a couple times before
outline is being a little tricky -- could potentially get a little long, and there's certain Reveals I wanna make at certain times but I'm not sure they work
PS
multi-POV, dual timeline
I think it needs three POVs to work, but I can't decide on who should be the third POV
outline seems to be working; changed midpoint to climax
couple of plot things annoying me -- not really making sense/could be solved easily
lots of worldbuilding that I've already spent a ton of time researching and will need to do more
couple of thematic elements that may result in it sorta 'saying' the opposite to what I want it to say
requires a lot of research into something that is very unscientific (cons: wildly contradictory information available; pros: I can just make it up if I want)
requires me to pull off a very specific form of unreliable narrator, something I've never attempted
not at all marketable
IMO the inspiration for this is very obvious
characters mostly unfamiliar (still cribbed from other WIPs mostly but much less developed)
Now, to me these lists made it pretty clear that D&D would be the easier, more sensible choice overall... so I've started drafting PS. 😅
I'm still a little fuzzy on a few plot things for PS, so I've been drafting out of order (assisted by the fact it's got dual timelines, so I can draft it out of order out of order, if you know what I mean. :P) And essentially my new plan is thus:
I'm going to spend this week working on the outline for PS, and drafting what scenes come to me -- hoping to get a fair few of them done (even if they never actually make it into the WIP), hence the 10k wordcount goal for this week. If, throughout the course of this week, I figure out the Plot Annoyances and/or find a really good voice for the two main POV characters, then I'll continue on with it! If not, then next week I'll do the same thing for D&D, and then look at both of them again and make a decision then.
I just think it's pointless to turn away from PS right now seeing as it's literally consuming my life. Guys, it has a pinterest board and a playlist, neither of which I usually make for WIPs. I fucking started using milanote (which I hate on principle, simply cuz so many authortubers hock it, and I am genuinely devastated to report that it works really well for what I'm using it for goddammit) in order to figure out some things. So while I've got this intense focus and ideas flowing, I figure I may as well take advantage of it.
So that's where we're at! If anybody's made it this far -- thanks, you flatter me. 😂 Also, feel free to ask questions about either of these projects; honestly the more I'm forced to think about both of them the better, and oftentimes other people think of things that would, just, never cross my mind in a million years. :D
Hope everybody else's November is going grand! I know I've been a bit MIA (which I will likely address in a separate post, seeing as this one is already hellaciously long), but I'm hoping to catch up on drafts and tag games etc in some form or another sometime over the next few days. ^_^

Okay, the team principles but make it very specific:
Toto- He's that hot business teacher you had who was really dedicated and actually helpful but serious. However, your thoughts were sometime just consumed by how "hot" or attractive he is eventhough he was as old as your dad probably.
Mattia- Once he worked as someone who was dressed as the clown for McDonalds. Now, he is on some crappy reality show where he is given advice on how to get his life together.
Christian- He is that asshole boss of a big company who treats most of his employees like shit but is polite. He also claims to be happily married but you find him on Grindr and soo many other apps where his bio says "looking for a casual hock up" or something like that.
Cyril- He has small business and is just happy with his life. Lives in an apartment in the city and often drinks coffee at that local cofe shop where he probably meet the shitty boss and was one of the not so casual hock ups.
Andreas- This man is just so at peace with life. He probably owns a lot of dogs, is happy with his family and lives up in a small village at the bottom of the mountains. He goes skiing and is a worker in a company where he is highly rated because of his communication and leadership skill. A lot of volunteer work maybe in like a local fire department.
Franz- This man is a an emphatic coach who teacher junior that want to get into a professional sport. He is a also a PE teacher and leader of so many sport clubs. He has a lot of stories to tell which make you feel better about life.
Otmar- You don't know who he is. Dude from the office next to you, you have worked with him for years but you could not for the life of you recall any personal information about him. Always is nice though and gives great Christmas gifts.
Günther- This man is impossible not to notice. He swears through the whole school and has a really bad reputation for forever but he still manages to teach a class every year. There's been so many complaints regarding him and he is not even an actual teacher. You either hate him or love him. Probably the best friend of the hot business teacher.
Frédéric Vasseur- He has a small restaurant in the town you grew up in. You always used to go there as a kid with your parents and everytime you visit, you will go there again. He tells you of how he used to be involved in motorsport and he still manages some of the local cart teams or rather helps young kids get into the sport. Is such a kind person with so many stories to tell.
Simon Roberts- He works in the bank where he did his apprenticeship for his entire life and is that guy who invites everyone to dinner parties but you turn up once in like a year or something and otherwise always decline because no thank you.

History Of The Miniature Husky Full Grown
Tumblr media
The Miniature Husky was bred in Wasilla, Alaska, from the early 1970s until 1988 by Linda S. Spurlin and her family. The breed was originally obtained by crossing Siberian huskies, Alaskan huskies, and they were also added to the barks and American Eskimo dogs to reduce the size of the breed without signs of dwarfism. She was engaged in breeding as a private owner, and in the late eighties allowed to use the genus for general breeding. The subsequent unification of the genus occurred after the breed was recognized by clubs and associations for rare breeds. The Miniature Husky, or dwarf husky, better known as the Alaskan Klee-kai was officially recognized by the American Rare Breed Association in 1995. The United Kennel Club (UKC) recognized this breed on January 1, 1997.

B.Psychological Characteristics — Miniature Husky Full Grown
Tumblr media
Although the appearance of Miniature Husky Full Grown is very similar to huskies, the nature of these breeds have significant differences:
Miniature Husky is fun and loves to participate in games, never refuse to have fun in the fresh air or take part in long walks;
The dog does not cope well with loneliness, so this breed is not suitable for those who are absent all day at home;
Miniature Husky do not bark, and communicate with the owner, and some sounds the dogs make are very similar to human talk, it is also possible to note the vocal abilities of dogs of this breed and also very funny the art of washing themselves with their front paws, like cats;

Well-trained, memorizing many commands and performing them with pleasure;
Can easily live in an apartment and in a country house;
Does not conflict with other pets. They get along well with children, never showing any signs of aggression.
Intelligent and Pleasant Temperament — Miniature Husky Full Grown
At first glance, the Miniature Husky Full Grown gives the impression of an intelligent animal that moves naturally and understands everything around it. Although in the past it was used almost exclusively for tracking purposes, due to its beauty, intelligence and good and cheerful nature, it is increasingly becoming more popular.
The Miniature Husky gets along great with people, and they especially like small children. In the presence of a child he will probably try to warm them up or entertain them. They respond ok to strangers and are generally not aggressive, but will be cautious if you are also cautious. If a Miniature Husky sees that it can trust a stranger, he will quickly surrender. It is not safe to leave it with other small animals such as cats.
He is very energetic during a game and rarely aware of his size, so when you play games you should be careful, especially when close to a small child. It needs to play games, also a lot of movement and a lot of owner attention. They are stubborn, very strong for their size, so when training miniature huskies from an early age, you work hard on showing them that you are dominant. They normally live in packs, so if you do not make them aware that they’re not the leader of the ‘pack’, you could have problems. If you don’t meet their needs for running and playing, they will most likely become restless, destructive, and depressed.
These dogs don’t bark, they are mostly quiet. Howls can be heard causing people to immediately associate them with wolves. Their howls can be heard several kilometres away.
Subtleties of Care — Miniature Husky Full Grown
The Miniature Husky Full Grown is not difficult to care for. These dogs are clean and rarely end up dirty. Many members of the breed spend about an hour and a half on their hygiene daily. They do not have a pronounced dog smell and normally no bad breath. The only thing they can not clean, it’s paws, when there is wet and dirty weather.
When caring for a miniature husky, you should adhere to some simple principles:
The Miniature Husky Full Grown is not prone to diseases and is not allergic.
Due to the rare molting, the wool should be combed out as needed. To avoid oral diseases, you need to replace rubber toys every now and then.
Ears are a weak spot, so it is worth paying more attention to them.
The food should be varied, because mini huskies along with an active lifestyle can rest half a day. The diet should include both dry and wet food, vitamins in the form of treats and vegetables.
Twice a year you should cut their claws.
Because of the thick undercoat, the miniature husky does not need additional warm clothes in winter. And for the same reason should not be under direct sunlight in the summer for a long time to prevent overheating.
Character and Upbringing — Miniature Husky Full Grown
Tumblr media
Some of the Miniature Huskies are cheerful and energetic, but not showing a predisposition to war and endless running. They love to play with different toys, to practice on sports, but most of all they like to spend time with the owner. Miniature Huskies is a cross between active terriers and quiet chow chows. They managed to gather the following qualities and characteristics:
Loyalty;
Distrust of outsiders;
Lack of malice and aggression;
Stress resistance
Learning.
These pets are unpretentious, largely due to a strong nervous system and thick wool. They do not need to wear any extras in winter or in the rain, the moisture will not get to their skin, and they’re also not scared of frost for the very same reason. They are happy to walk for several hours, but if they live in a house, then from the yard they will come to eat, sleep and check the situation in the dwelling. Miniature Huskies will not run to a stranger with joyful barking and a desire to get a little bit of affection, this dog will gently sniff and will not allow any companionship. But it will never bite, but will simply step aside and look out for potential danger.
For the same reason, it is valued for its watchdog qualities, it copes perfectly with the function of a small dog. If a child grew up with such a pet, there will be no problems in communication between them. Miniature Huskies are adapted to life in a pack, in foreign nurseries they are often kept in spacious enclosures with other dogs and would live together without judging relationships and instigating fights.
This breed is suitable for active people, home-owners find it difficult to maintain an optimal balanced life with these pets because they are active and love their games. But a responsible and active teenager can cope with the upbringing and care of a small and energetic dog. Miniature Huskies need to walk, play games and socialize with other dogs. Therefore, future owners need to expect that playtime could mean a 1.5 hour break in the afternoon, and maybe also some in the morning — around 30 minutes. Many owners note that miniature huskies like to talk, silently pronouncing words-like sounds, attracting the attention of a person or begging for goodies.
Food and Menu — Miniature Husky Full Grown
The Miniature Husky has a fast metabolism due to their small size and mobility. This in many ways forms their diet and diet. Since the weight of the Miniature Husky and the growth vary greatly, there are no specific portion sizes. The standard formula for Full Grown adults is: 3.5% protein of total weight. For example, a dog weighing 10 kg should receive 350 grams of meat or dairy products. For puppies up to 6 months the ratio is different — up to 7%, but they get food more often for normal growth and digestion. The approximate menu of an Miniature Husky Full Grown looks like this:
Meat products: 60% of the total daily serving.
Dairy products: 20%.
Cereals: 10%.
Vegetables, fruits and greens: 10%.
Meat for this breed of dog is suitable lean, chicken or turkey are well digested and give enough nutrients, but not excluded and beef, occasionally sea fish. Miniature Huskies are happy to eat kidneys or raw liver but it can disrupt digestion. Dairy products are also recommended: cottage cheese, rye. From cereals choose the least allergenic and the most useful: rice and buckwheat.
Helps in brushing teeth and vitaminizing carrots, green apple, pumpkin, and parsley is indispensable in the winter-autumn period. They are given fresh or steamed. It is better to remove Onions and Cabbage from the menu of the Miniature Husky.
The right food for Miniature Husky Full Grown:
Whether small or large, every dog appreciates it when meaty food gets into its feeding bowl. And pet’s health will also benefit from food with a high proportion of Meat / Protein. Make sure that the meat is always at the top of the food decoration, regardless of whether it is dry or wet food you offer to your dog. With puppies of smaller breeds, including Miniature Husky, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for feeding and include delicacies and snacks in their daily food intake. If you are doing a lot of pet training and prefer to encourage food intake, it is especially recommended that dry food croquettes be used to reward them. So your little dog will work for food without exceeding the permissible calorie limits. Smaller chewing bones or dried tripe fragments are excellent for treating, but always give them to the dog under supervision! Also, make sure that the animal always has enough fresh drinking water. If you want to go on longer trips with your pet in the summer, take a water bottle!
Important Nutrients for your Miniature Husky Full Grown:
Protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements are the main nutrients that must enter the dog’s body through its food. They provide him with energy and ensure that his vital functions remain healthy. In contrast, missing nutrients can put a heavy strain on the whole body, bones, muscles and internal organs, as well as lead to diseases.
1.Proteins
Undoubtedly, protein is the most important source of energy for your dog. Amino acids in protein are vital. Meat is a particularly excellent source of protein. Therefore, it is advisable to feed the dog at least 70% of meat. Basically, it can be almost any kind of meat: beef, lamb, pig, rabbit or poultry. Among offal, liver, heart, kidney, spleen are recommended. The dog’s high need for meat is no accident, since it is a direct descendant of the wolf, so it is one of the carnivorous predators. Its strong teeth and chewing muscles, relatively short intestinal tract and particularly aggressive digestive fluids are the perfect “tools” for meat consumption. It is important that the meat is not cooked, as the protein content becomes denatured and unusable. Fresh, raw meat has the highest protein content. As an alternative to meat, fish may be given once or twice a week. It is also recommended to serve as freshly as possible, as it contains the most unsaturated fatty acids, easily digestible protein and vitamin D in this form. Salmon, cod, redfish, anchovies, crustaceans or shrimp are among the fish species.
2.Fats
Unsaturated fatty acids from fish are of great importance as they contribute to improving the protection against inflammation and the immune system. Dogs primarily need omega-3 fatty acids of animal origin, but omega-6 fatty acids in vegetable oils are also important, which is usually sufficiently found in meats. Oils are essential to absorb important vitamins in your pet’s body. Therefore, it is always worth watering vegetables with a little animal oil, such as salmon oil. In order to avoid overweight four-legged food, the fat content of the food should be significantly less than its protein or carbohydrate content. In addition, nuts contain natural fatty acids, which is recommended only when grated or ground.
3.Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates found in potatoes and grains, which is not a vital nutrient for dogs. Most of the food available in pet shops contains carbohydrates, so it is not necessary to give them separately. If you only feed your dog raw food, it is best to feed it to your dog in flakes such as oats or millet flakes.
4.Vitamins and trace elements
Your dog’s diet should contain vitamins and trace elements, which are found primarily in vegetables, fruits and herbs. Nutrients interact with each other, which means that one is often needed for the other to be absorbed. Therefore, we do not recommend a one-sided diet, so do not give meat to your pet, for example. It is ideal if a dog eats about 25% of vegetables and fruits with 70% meat and only about 5% grain. Celery, carrots, courgettes, pumpkins or domestic fruits such as apples, pears or other berries may be brought to the meat when grated or lightly cooked.
5.Calcium
Calcium is found primarily in milk and dairy products. However, an overdose of calcium can be dangerous, especially in dogs that are not yet fully developed. Therefore, it is advisable not to include milk on the menu of adult dogs or only to a very small extent. Cow’s milk is a particularly unsuitable ingredient, as it rarely leads to allergies or other intolerance.
Possible Diseases — Miniature Husky Full Grown
Since the removal of this species, no genetic defects have been identified, which means that there are no characteristic diseases in Miniature Huskies. However, there is always a risk of contracting canine sores such as cystitis, diarrhea, fleas, lichens, colds and poisoning.
Very rarely can a blood disease be detected, where a lethal outcome would be inevitable, if no action is taken in terms of treatment. But it’s more of an exception to the rule.
Despite excellent health, it is still necessary to vaccinate Miniature Huskies. The first planned comprehensive vaccination is carried out by the breeder, when the puppy reaches the age of 8–9 weeks, and the second — after 3–4 weeks.
Subsequent preventive vaccinations are carried out at a year’s interval.
The vaccine includes products capable of resisting dog ailments such as parvovirus (hemorrhagic) enteritis, piroplasmosis, leptospirosis, plague and rabies.
Pros and Cons — Miniature Husky Full Grown
The Miniature Husky Full Grown looks very similar to the Siberian husky: black and white, gray-white, brown-white or pure white, blue eyes. Among the Miniature Husky there are also “harlequins”, in which one eye is blue and the other is amber or brown. The differences are in the shorter face, large ears and tail raised ring, like a rough one. And, of course, the size — the height of these dogs on the withers can be from 32 to 45 centimeters.Of course, such a dog is much easier to keep in an urban environment than large dogs. This baby inherited its best qualities from the Huskies: it does not freeze even with a hard frost, does not require a haircut, does not bark, loves children very much, trains easily. Miniature Husky is a very mobile and energetic dog, a little prone to diseases. Almost odorless and rarely causes allergies. But twice a year, like Siberian huskies, they take a shower and require special care for wool during this period.

But twice a year, like Siberian huskies, they take a shower and require special care for wool during this period.
The main disadvantage of this dog is its price, which is not affordable to all. The first puppies in the Russian kennel were born only in October 2013. In American nurseries, the cost of a Miniature Husky can be as high as $5,000.
When choosing a pet one should take into account that it is a very active breed, which requires daily long walks and games, as well as a lot of attention. Miniature Husky can’t stand to be alone. But on the other hand, this little copy of Husky will reward you with its dedication and give you a lot of positive emotions.
Would he be a Good Pet — Miniature Husky Full Grown?
Tumblr media
Yes, Miniature Husky Full Grown makes a great pet, but only for the rightful owner.
Although they are friendly and loving, they are not a good choice for novice dog owners and less active people.
The ideal owner of a Miniature Husky Full Grown will be an active, open person who can provide the dog with enough places to walk, run and plenty of time to participate in joint activities.
A bored Miniature Husky Full Grown that’s left alone (inside or outside) is a recipe for disaster.
A Miniature Husky needs active and engaged owners, as well as a lot of training and socialization to avoid bad habits, including running and more running!
A Miniature Husky is an ideal companion that you will have alongside you on all kinds of open adventures and sports such as backpacking, running, walking and all other kinds of physical activities.
5 Fun Facts About a Miniature Husky Full Grown

They are very good escape artists.
One of the few breeds of dog with penetrating blue eyes.
Due to their double layer, they can withstand extremely cold weather.
They are very loud and like to howl.
Power of Love — Miniature Husky Full Grown
Although Alaskan Miniature Husky Full Grown likes to be in the ring, Linda S. Spurlin emphasized in her publications that the primary purpose of human-created dog breeds is not to perform at exhibitions, but to enrich human life. Today, the Miniature Husky fulfills its useful mission as a therapy dog in hospitals for incurable patients and in nursing homes, and is also a welcome and successful breed of dog in agility games. It is also bought by many people who are enchanted by the mystical northern beauty of the husky, but do not take on the sporty lifestyle and reinforced fence that comes with it.
The Miniature Husky gives them the northern illusion while remaining a pleasant matured, obedient and easy-to-use social dog. With his kind nature, he warms people’s hearts, gives love, and receives love in return, but he is not suitable for all people. If you choose a dog, you need to know the characteristics of the breed, your own housing situation, your rhythm of life and your free time with your dog number. You must find a dog that you can love and care for with all your soul from the beginning until the end arrives.

hi, could i get the recipe for the soup you made recently? life has been, hm, bad, so i would like something cozy to counteract it!
hey friend! sorry youre having a rough time :( you should know its ham & bean soup so if you dont eat meat you can omit the ham all together or maybe add tofu? idk how good that would taste but if you try it let me know lol!
 so the base recipe i used is this: https://www.budgetbytes.com/ham-bean-soup/ and ill put all my notes/modifications below bc i am nothing if not long winded for NO reason!
ok so firstly i didnt use a slow cooker, i just threw everything into the biggest pot i had in the house. this recipe is also based around a “16 bean mix” but i didnt even see that at my grocery store so i just got a bag of great northern beans. 
i adjusted a lot of things to my liking: im not a big fan of celery or onion, so i only used 2 stalks of celery and half of a yellow onion (and i cut them kinda small so i wouldnt have big chunks of it) and i also only used 1 carrot though i probably could have put in a second one lol.
 i just wanted it to be mostly beans (which i achieved!) but if i ever make this again ill prob throw in more veggies. i had pre-minced garlic (like in the jar) and i think i only used a heaping teaspoon or something. 
OH and we had a bag of those little tiny potatoes so i quartered maybe 10 or 12 of those bad boys and put em in too, i would recommend that (i think any potato would work, the small ones were just easier to cut and i had them already). honestly i really did turn into my mom and just eyeballed everything lmao. 
ALSO, the ham part of this came from my stepdad who cooked like a whole ass hambone on sunday and then let me have all the leftovers for this soup. the principle is the same though, you put the ham hocks (as it calls for in the recipe) in w the soup while its all cooking and then once the beans/potatoes/veggies are all cooked enough you just pull it out and shred the meat off the bone, discard the bone/fat and then put the meat back in w the soup.
as for spices, i mean it is literally just ham & bean soup lol so its kind of bland to begin with i guess but i think even the 1tsp was a little too much oregano (i always forget that i dont really like oregano), so if that would be a prob for you id add less than what the recipe calls for. i added a fuckton of pepper bc i like it, and i also added a ¼ tsp of liquid smoke which im not sure added THAT much flavor but my dad suggested it and hes a good cook so thats what i did lol. i also think smoked paprika would be a good addition to it. and i didnt use chicken broth/stock/bouillon or anything, i just added about 10 cups of water to the pot bc thats what it took to make sure everything was covered and mostly submerged. 
tbh everything cooked a lot faster than i expected, the recipe says simmer for 2-4 hours but my beans and potatoes were all well cooked within 90 mins. it looked thin to begin with but as it sits it thickens up so if thats a prob for you too dont worry about it as much as i did lol.
and thats it!!! jesus i really wrote a whole essay about this for no reason im sorry lol! i also made cornbread to go with it, just a plain box of jiffy mix and it was perfect i would highly recommend. if you make the soup (or if you even read all of this post LOL) let me know how it is! and i hope it brings some comfort
