The Hidden Power of Accrual: Why It’s the Unsung Hero of Good Accounting

If you’ve ever peeked into the world of accounting, chances are you’ve heard the word “accrual” thrown around. Maybe it sounded complicated, overly technical, or like something only big corporations worry about. But here’s the thing: accruals aren’t just accounting jargon. They’re actually one of the most important tools for making sure your financial records truly reflect the reality of your…

been feeling like this lately

In "The Fourth Principle", Mel's young cousin appears to have golden runic tattoos in the same style as Mel.

Mel's cousin's tattoos are not nearly as intricate as the ones Mel has in s1 and definitely not by s2.

We know that Mel's tattoos are tied to her magic, and from the reviews of Chosen of the Wolf, there's a larger connection between mages and these experimental runic tattoos. This could mean that Mel's cousin is also a mage, albeit someone who isn't especially powerful based on how simple her tattoos are.

If Mel's cousin is a mage, I wonder if that may be one of the reasons Mel has her cousin so close to her. From the way Ambessa spoke of mages, and even from Mel own voice lines, the Medardas have a negative opinion of mages. Could Mel have allowed her cousin to be elevated to her side as assistant to the Medarda matriarch to protect her against this kind of scrutiny?

Based on the spoilers from Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf, obtaining these tattoos isn't a simple or painless task, and yet more members of the Medarda family have them by the time Mel returns. I also noticed that Mel's cousin doesn't seem to be that much older than Mel was in her flashback in Arcane. Except at that age, Mel didn't have ANY visible tattoos. I wonder if in reaction to the Black Rose's successful campaign to steal majority of the Medardas' holdings, the family became more aggressive in utilizing all their assets, which includes family members with any potential as mages. There's more family drama to come with the Medardas then!

That annoying moment when you're talking about misogyny/sexism in Greek Mythology and Radfem/TERF-brained people automatically assume that it must be a radfem/TERF post... *sighs*

I love the cover of The Pandora Principle because even before reading it you can infer that Spock is the one who taught Saavik how to do her eyeshadow and makeup.

I can just imagine a tiny Saavik borrowing Spock's palette and experimenting with it for the first time, and once he finds out, he gently admonishes her for borrowing without asking (because sharing eye makeup can be dangerous due to bacteria) and then going to shopping with her for her own palette.

Eyeshadows I think she uses under the cut + explanation for my palette choices.

This one matches her uniform and I just feel like it suits her. She's gorgeous in deep reds.

She loves the iridescence of cosmic love and moon magic, she also got that one first, the blue and purples used to mimic Spock

Red and earth tone makes her eyes pop, the green, being her eye colour and blood colour, is used for more subtle events (i.e if she's invited by someone on a date...)

Birth from a Serpent’s Egg: According to certain traditions, the basilisk is believed to be born from a serpent’s egg incubated by a rooster. This unusual origin story contributes to its hybrid nature and may be associated with its deadly qualities.

Rooster Characteristics: As a result of its supposed birth from a serpent’s egg incubated by a rooster, the basilisk may exhibit rooster-like qualities, such as a comb on its head or other features associated with roosters.

Flight: In some depictions, the basilisk is described as having wings, enabling it to fly. This dragon-like characteristic adds to its mythical and supernatural nature.

Useful page I was referencing last night. Normal human!Spike’s an orange or a gold and a normal bird, probably a bittern. But putty!Spike for the angst with Thrax is a green hybrid snake-bird that is the basilisk. Born of a snake’s egg incubated by a rooster. It really kinda lines up with him. Especially with having the features of its true nature and the features of its rooster parent

i actually enjoy reading brba fanfic because a lot of it is quality but i never browse for it and never have beyond the one marathon browse and read i did in 2022, so i just reread the same like five stories i really love and go like "man it'd be cool if there was even more of this" and then just reread them again instead of looking for more

[vaguely-concerned]

trying to look for a ttrpg group in spaces where I can't just go 'listen I want to play this shit in the tumblr fandom kind of model (gay subtext extremely welcome bordering on essential, mutual unhinged character psychoanalysis, we could create a novel of a backstory together to make this sadder, let's all play with our OC dolls together and also sometimes dice are rolled I guess)' and be readily understood and/or not be immediately side-eyed or denigrated for my inherent unavoidable tumblerinaness feels like such an annoying debuff to deal with on the quest. like I know my people exist out there but how do I express myself in the right way and wade through all the copious not-it (not for me) dynamics to find them!!!

[rolandkaros]

only one of karo's points made it to the us open top 10 vid and of course it was the behind the back and you know what!! shame on them!! that was the easy and obvious choice but NOT the right one!! probably not even top 5 of her best points in the tournament. us open youtube DO BETTER you ought to be ASHAMED of yourselves FAKE FANS.

Preliminary Match - Pick your Favorite Joseph Joestar

[arkhammaid]

Bullying Lewis out of his seat for her 1st grid son is so hot of mom Charlie, max would 100% support from the sidelines

max will always support charlie, no matter what she does, but he especially supports when it's against lewis (they still have unfinished business, especially when max finds out how lewis is acting in 2025 (charlie is the most precious thing in his life and can do no wrong in his eyes, everybody else is wrong))

Finally playing GW2 semi-regularly again and decided it was time for a new costume!

[theytry]

i do not ship warren & nathan whatsoever ( i just don’t think warren is nathan’s type -- and nathan is extremely picky about men ) but i heavily enjoy their dynamic energy in the sense that these two should fight often. full on wrestle. literally headbutt each other forever. i’m vaguely interested in a reluctant, slowburn friendship as well depending, but it is a dynamic that would come after many beatdowns.

[faaun]

and also just adding onto that, the recent wave of like armchair diagnosing ppl as npd is sooo annoying. Like its actually a serious condition, you CANNOT diagnose someone as npd with just one story or interaction. Sometimes ppl are not "narcissistic", they're just assholes? It feels like every second story i hear, there's ppl going "thats a narcissistic trait yk :/" and its like just bc its a narcissistic trait doesnt mean they have npd??

yes defintely !! it's so so harmful and i have not seen any other disorder (except maybe aspd?) get as much demonisation and hate as npd has and it is genuinely so heartbreaking bc it is a serious dissociative disorder that does Not inherently make anyone a bad person and yet !! like the term "narcissistic abuse" and also ppl just generally equating [mostly covert] abuse w narcissism is so immensely Harmful .

anyway i think we should bring back calling people mean, assholes, rude, gaslighters, abusers, etc instead of being like "my mother was a narc abuser so all ppl w npd are abusers and will never change!" etc etc bc it does 3 horrible things:

1) implies all people with npd are abusers

2) implies people with npd are not capable of self-improvement just like any other human being

3) offloads the horrible actions of abusers onto a disorder, thereby taking away the responsibility they had/choices they made in the situation and instead blames the (completely inaccurate + harmful!!) perceived invariability/ubiquitous evil of npd symptoms/traits .

"how to spot a narcissist" babe are we birdwatching now for ppl with a dissociative disorder or...???

Any shows you recommend?

Currently, I have three recommendations in order of preference. They are centered around fictitious serial killers with a theme of finding someone who truly understands and accepts you, bones, bloodshed, and all. The first two are also rather yandere-coded.

I can discuss any of these at length if anyone is interested, although I have not finished the last one yet. I think I focused on describing the writing and production design more than the plot and characters...

NBC Hannibal: This is three seasons of beauty. The writing is poetry, wrought with heavy metaphors and a degree of pretention. There is also careful attention to the details of the set design, costuming, and literally everything else that can be (and has been) analysed for years. The violence is grotesquely gorgeous, and the entire show has a surreal, dream-like quality to it that hollows you out and then settles in the pit of your stomach like a particularly evocative piece of art.

Also, Mads Mikkelsen is a talented actor (I can go into more detail about his work), and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham is absolutely stunning. As in aesthetically angelic. As in "I am no better than Hannibal Lecter in the way I get Stendhal syndrome looking at this man and feel the urge to paint him". I originally thought I was similar to Will Graham's character while first watching the show, but my darling said I was actually more akin to Hannibal despite never watching it. She was right, of course. All that aside, I highly recommend. In the words of Will Graham, "It's beautiful".

[As an aside, my new username has nothing to do with Hannibal, although I don't mind the association. I am referring to cannibalism as a whole.]

Strangers in Hell (Also known as Hell Is Other People): This is a Kdrama similar to NBC Hannibal in regard to the characters with the contained descent to madness of High Rise or Parasyte, visuals of The Shining, and the occasional thematic Breaking Bad-styled transitions. It has gorgeous coloured lighting, creative camerawork with the set design, and emotive acting (I am always impressed by Lee Dong-wook's acting range.). Highly underrated, in my opinion. And it is only ten episodes long, which if you are like me, you could binge-watch in one night.

Dexter: I started this show because an instructor of mine said that I reminded her of it/the main character. It could have simply been because I was in covered in human viscera and have a morbid enthusiasm and sense of humour, but he is relatable from what I have seen so far. It's quite funny, and the internal monologuing is reminiscent of American Psycho if you enjoy that narrative style. I hear that the plot gets strange towards the later seasons, however.
