                                     hello children it’s your favourite monstrosity cel here                                            with your other problematic fave Snuffles Jr. 

(  cis male  |  he/him  |  chris veres  )   ——   isn’t that  SIRIUS BLACK ?  yeah that is them, sitting there at the  GRYFFINDOR  table with those other  SIXTH  years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees   ( tw; wounds )    oil patches under city rubble,  glowing canine eyes,  the stripe of dawn crowning winter trees,  bloodstained footprints,  calloused hands,  irregular bruise patterns.  anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty  UNDAUNTED,  IMPETUOUS,  and  JOCULAR.   apparently they’re a  FOR THE LIGHT  and  PUREBLOOD  but i’m sure that’s not related. ——   [ cel : akdt : 22 : she/her ]

𝑰.       𝐻𝐼𝑆𝑇𝑂𝑅𝑌           »                combustibles  mix   poorly   with  heat ,    and  the  air  he  breathes  feels  thick  with   soot  .    it’s  hard  to  know  what    ‘  fresh  ’    means  until  you  feel  it   yourself ,    and  it’s  harder  still  to  accept  that    you  can’t   clean   what’s  already  been   stained  .  

            tw ;   trauma ,  abuse

we’ve all Been Knew he has family trauma

i’ll likely be playing with the idea that his family’s just deadass abusive,  both mentally & physically,  because i virtually cannot imagine how a woman filled with as much Pure Rage as walburga black would not be?? rip

that being said,  i’ll also place his disownment as the summer  after  this  one   just because i feel like that ??  aligns best with the plot.  like he announces his allegiance vocally and whatever else tomfoolery I make him do and that’s just,  The Last Straw

obviously he finds a lot of security in james  &  the marauders and is honestly only as good of a student as he is because he catches up  /  gets ahead  during  the summers

also 100% fucks around muggle london all the time when he’s back home,  usually never telling his family he’s leaving and causing Mayhem when he gets back

i’ll say it again for the people at the back:  he is !! one smart bastard !!  just irresponsible af.  the breathing figure of That Guy(tm) who never studies or shows up to class and still rolls out in honours

𝑰𝑰.     𝐴𝑁 𝐼𝑁𝑆𝐼𝐺𝐻𝑇      »                making   models   out  of  air   sounds   easier  than  it  is .    conjuration  he  can  do  ,    but  at  least  he  knows  what  to   look  for   in  that .    he’s  a   shameless   follower ,    but  he  presents  as  an  addition    —    the  last  piece  of  the  team .    he’s  a  paradox  of  individualistic  &  dependent ,    and  the  line  never   seems   to  focus .

obviously the shit he’s been through,  and being  /  feeling like he’s unable to just roll with it fucks with him.  the guy literally came in with no idea how healthy dynamics work he just knows his family’s Isn’t It,  Sis.

at this point he has trouble seeing the world as anything but us vs. them because his world is only that.  he either likes you or he doesn’t and he doesn’t really see why this wouldn’t be mirrored or how his actions can impact that.

he’s also at that point where he just Assumes he’s always right and that makes him jump to conclusions and just.  stay there.

basically he’s the type to take things way too far way too quick. just like the snape thing;  like was that in any way cool??  No,  but a bitch physically Does Not Understand That

that being said though,  he is,  in general,  just hella fun-loving and only occasionally Too Much so.  he finally has the chance to actually  be  free of his home’s clutches and he always uses that to his fullest , even if upon first glance he may come off v aloof.  he’s always being chaotic & impulsive and pulling random people into one plan or the next so it’s Very Likely your character has either faced or Will Face this six feet of mayhem at some point

he also just prioritises his friends above anything else & that usually means having absolutely 0 means of balance or real desire for an external relationship, despite coming off rather loving and indulgent when he is present.  so he can be excessively flirty and sometimes even charming but it always goes,,, nowhere rifp

sirius black? absolutely Stunning but listen he wasn’t raised right

this translates to terrible coping mechanisms and a sub-par understanding of empathy, but he’s learning

will constantly swap between being an arrogant bastard and needing all the attention / validation in the world, but constantly tries to make the former Happen

florida man is the reincarnate of sirius’ shoulder devil i don’t make the truth i only speak it

𝑰𝑽.    𝑊𝐴𝑁𝑇𝐸𝐷 𝑃𝐿𝑂𝑇𝑆      »

jk i didn’t think this far ahead just @ me i’ll come up with something vaguely cohesive and Thrilling

tho in terms of things i definitely want to explore with him...... probably mostly like, his family dynamics and how he’s really coping with them  (surprise, terribly!)  and just the overall growth of his character into someone who learns to handle his emotions and how to actually  be  the Good Guy(tm) that he  wants  to be.

like idc what jk rowling said OotP did sirius Dirty and knowing they were in danger of actually orphaning their baby jily at that point would’ve never made sirius harry’s god father if sirius hadn’t matured by then thanks for coming to my ted talk where we Burn canon

also i Say this but 99% of my threads Will Be fluffy nonsense Bet

oh and pureblood shenanigans he still has to deal with until he cuts ties :^)

basic details

( wong yukhei, cismale, he/him ) — meet jaxon wu, the nineteen year old sophomore at washington state university. i heard that the hedonist is a literature major who spends most of their time either practicing on the soccer field or interning at dorrance publishing two days a week. if you ask around, you’ll find out that the scorpio was born on october 28th, that the last song they listened to was uncomfortable by chase atlantic, and that they currently live in the kappa zeta nu fraternity house. ever since the death of carter hayes though, the only thing anyone can seem to recall when it comes to them is that they used to share a room with him at the frat house.

+ smoke-filled lungs, constellations in his eyes, denim jackets, disappearing acts that rival houdini, heart-shaped boxes, thumb rings, lazy grins, broken promises, and rainy mornings.

ADAMANT — stubborn as shitttttt like fr. once he sets his mind on sumn and believes hes completely right cant be wrong then theres no changin his mind! at all! even if he realizes later that he was wrong he’d rather lower himself into the grave than admit it. he’ll also argue with you til the ends of the earth until the bitch literally dont have vocal chords anymore!

CONFIDENT — if i could’ve picked an alternate label for him then it woulda been the bellwether. he always carries himself with confidence which he gets from wearin nice clothes and accessories plus always bein well groomed ig? like his hair is always done, you’ll never find a speck of dirt on his shoes, that type of shit. even when his hair is messy it was done that way he would never go outside lookin like a wreck so jot that down!

background rundown

soren grew up in a middle class family with an older brother and younger sister in boston where his mom was a bank teller and his dad was a professor at boston u.

he has two nephews and a niece who are all children of his older brother and he rlly loves them more than ANYTHING!

he has a super strained relationship with his father.. he was hardly around when the kids were growing up and he was verbally abusive to everyone in the household besides sorens younger sister.

on the other side he has a great relationship with his mom who loves to paint and always encouraged the kids to pick up something creative as well. her husband didnt agree tho and made her quit in order to focus solely on her job and bein a housewife. 

as they got older the fights started becoming worse and worse until they finally decided to divorce when soren was fifteen. by that point tho everything that his father said was ingrained in his head so he continued livin his life tryna please him.

he was def more interested in art like his mother but he pushed that desire aside to excel in athletics instead. he was really into hockey and soccer in particular so he became the best he could at both of them until he graduated and was offered numerous sports scholarships.

thats how he ended up at audeo university majoring in kinesiology which is the study of the mechanics of body movements. 

its also where he fully started his life of partying, drugs, alcohol, and sex using all of them as coping mechanisms to fill the void.

hes the type of person who loves affection, loves bein the center of attention, and thats a recipe for disaster especially when it comes to actual committed relationships. 

because of the stress in his life he mostly started doin cocaine to keep his energy up when he hadnt had any sleep and was runnin on zero but he does experiment with many others. that one is just his drug of choice ig.

because of his hectic schedule he doesnt have time for a job which means money is.. scarce so he started takin money from peeps in order for him to send them nudes or wtvr they wanted thru snapchat for extra money but SHUT this is one of his secrets so not everyone can know lmao!

but the truth of the matter is that while he loves playin soccer and sports in general he just.. doesnt really want to anymore and he doesnt want his world to revolve around it. he wants to move to paris and become an artist but he also still has that deep-rooted need to impress his father and prove him wrong so fuq him ig!

other shit

i dont have like a set list of plots cause i suck but i’m truly down for whatever!! throw anything at me and i’ll most likely fill it! i’m especially into angst but i’d love some ride or dies, party buddies, adventure buddies, someone who goes out to bars with him and does some drunk karaoke, fwb.. literally anything! this bitch loves to plot but shes also bad at it lmao so just smash that heart if you want me to hit ya up or feel free to come to me instead!!

What to Know About the Latest Cisco Catalyst 2960 X Series Switches

What do you get when you take Cisco's top of the line campus access switch line, double nearly everything (remembering port thickness for a stack, stacking data transmission, buffers and CPU), at that point make it increasingly secure and less difficult to utilize, all with power-saving capacities that potentially make it the "greenest" access switch in the business? Cisco Catalyst 2960 X series switches are a Game Changer without a doubt.

This is actually what Cisco reported at the yearly Partner Summit occasion. Cisco is presenting the up and coming age of its fiercely fruitful Catalyst 2K switches with the new Catalyst 2960-X series of stackable Gigabit Ethernet access switches.

The presentation of the Catalyst 2960-X Series switches adequately permits clients to address the development needs of their organizations, all with new clever administrations. The innovative abilities of the Catalyst 2960-X are profoundly separated concerning equivalent contributions and with no uncertainty increment the competitive intensity in the market.

Be that as it may, don't simply believe us. As per industry examiner Zeus Kerravala of ZK Research, "the Catalyst 2960-X gives clients an access layer switch that will assist them with changing their job from being centered around keeping the lights on to being a business impetus." The lavishness of highlights in the new 2960-X is broad, with thorough access layer security worked in, basic activities with Smart Install, OnePK and OpenFlow readiness.

Kerravala additionally takes note of that "it's incredible that Cisco is furnishing its clients with venture insurance through in reverse similarity with the 2960-X's well-known forerunner, the 2960-S/SF. I accept the 2960-X is an item that will permit clients to keep steady over quickly developing patterns like BYOD, VDI, IoT and joint effort, all at a value direct fit toward those medium-sized organizations whose pockets have been extended because of the intense economy. The component wealth of the 2960-X will be a key draw for these clients who need usability, security and execution to keep on developing their organizations and be effective over the long haul."

Energy-Saving Benefits

The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X was designed to lessen the total expense of responsibility for industry switches with vitality sparing highlights that can diminish power utilization by up to 80%. How does this energy-saving performance compare with the remainder of the business? For context, IDC detailed approximately 230 million equivalent switch ports were sold. Not that we're being ravenous – but rather if these were all Catalyst 2960-X units, that would mean generally 14.4 Billion kWh of energy spared.

What could you do with that energy?

Here is what you could do with that saved energy:

·         Reduce emissions of CO2 by seven billion pounds, the equivalent of planting two million trees

·         Shut down the Hoover Dam for four years

·         Power all households in the UK for three years

Final Thought

To wrap up this discussion, I would say that using the Cisco Catalyst 2960 X series switches, you could surely save a lot of energy and enjoy fast internet connectivity in your home or business network.
