A dark mode without JavaScript

I’ve by now been warned that the reason I had issue with a previous tumblr account may have been because I put some JavaScript onto my page. I knew Tumblr didn’t let us put JavaScript onto custom pages—I didn’t know why, but the alert came up if you tried—but there was no warning or anything when I added it to my main theme.

The JavaScript I added was just a function for a checkbox. It added a class to the body element, thus enabling some CSS for a ‘dark mode’ reader. But it doesn’t matter what the function did, you’re just not supposed to be using JavaScript at all. But Tumblr can’t just have a strict thing on their database that says “if page contains javascript, deny”, because there’s literally scripts in their own default theme. So I don’t know how this works. The detection must be less straightforward.

Weeks ago, not knowing why I couldn’t use messages and didn’t show up in search even for people following me, I made a new account, copied my custom theme onto it, started posting, and within a few hours I realized it was shadowbanned again, already. It’s possible I just instantly re-triggered whatever system they have in place by putting on the same script I was already using. It was only then I started trying to figure out what I did wrong, and after realizing it could’ve been the JavaScript the whole time, I made this account, did all the HTML and CSS changes I wanted, but haven’t added a line of JavaScript.

And so far, I’m good. This isn’t an airtight proof—it could still be a coincidence—but that does really make it seem like JavaScript was the issue. And if it was, then what the fuck? It’s effectively a secret rule, not indicated to me anywhere, and which punished me quietly without notifying me that was the issue? I know people make fun of this place for not being run well at times, but god damn.

It’s possible to implement a dark mode just using CSS. It just might not be as obvious how, and it’s a bit trickier because you need the element that triggers it to be in a specific spot in your DOM, i.e. next to an element that either is or contains everything you want to manipulate. Then you can use a sibling selector to apply rules only to things that appear next to the trigger (a checkbox is easiest).

Where that checkbox appears on-screen can then be manipulated by setting its position to absolute or fixed; it just needs to be a sibling of the container in the DOM structure.

So here’s what I did. Put a checkbox right before the “posts” container in your theme.

Then that checkbox can be made invisible. Just give it display:none. The element still ‘exists’ in a magical sense, but it doesn’t get rendered in the document. Then put a label somewhere on the page that links to this checkbox. I put mine in my nav. Unlike the checkbox, the label can be anywhere.

This isn’t a link, meaning it doesn’t highlight when you hover or click it, but you can just put it in an empty link element if you want it to look like one.

Then you just make whatever changes you want this checkbox to be activating by applying it to the posts container after the checkbox when it has the :checked pseudo-class.

i think i made a post before but i cant find it but literally its funny as hell seeing people be like 'this show curses too much!' about those two shows (which this post is NOT about istg dont start discourse) but also people are rightfully fighting back about every single websites abysmal censoring system where people arent allowed to say things like 'dead' or 'suicide' or other topics like that despite them being both basic facts of life and also important conversations to have

its especially clear on channels and accounts where they consistently talk about crime cases, or generally serious topics. i follow several channels like that on youtube, and almost every single one doesnt dare say the words that literally are the word for what theyre discussing, because their fragile sponsorships dont like it, or youtube doesnt like it, and its like. are you actually fucking kidding me. and its genuinely a shock when they actually say these words.

and i dont use tiktok very often, and when i do its usually just videos of people making art, but its hard to avoid seeing tiktoks on other social media, and how people will censor words to hell and back so that their video isnt shadowbanned or whatever those stupid words are to mean 'this video is fucked and youre fucked for making it'

im sick of seeing people have to say shit like unalive and self unaliving TO DISCUSS BASIC FACTS OF LIFE. people die. people kill themselves. yes its fucking awful and depressing and terrifying, but its beyond a joke to act like its something to hide away from.

its also extremely important that we do talk about these things, and talk about them like real people do, because of how often they happen, and how serious they are.

do you know the amount of times ive seen people unironically say the word unalive outside of these places? or people come to tumblr and they say it here because they think that you cant say those words here? its embarassing.

the internet is becoming increasingly more corporate ideal and its gross. i cannot put into words how much i hate how the internet feels like one continuous corporate website. i miss how the internet was back when i first started using it, even if it was the wild west and extremely far from a place a child shouldve been. and even then i was on an internet that wasnt anything like how it was even a decade previous to that, what would be about 20 years ago now, where the internet was even more of a wild west.

i dont like that we have to bend a knee to the wants of corporations just to exist on this thing that once felt magical. the place where every person ever has the possibility to be connected from anywhere, see and experience things they never could without it

and yet here we are not even being able to say things that people do experience every day. its just disgusting.

im not advocating that there be 0 lines to cross, theres still things that should be like 'hey maybe dont say or do that', but im talking the things that literally hurt no one.

so sure, say what you will about those shows, maybe i agree, but i really dont give a single shit about the discourse or any of that. and yeah maybe they do say shit and fuck a little bit much, but holy hell are they at least allowed to say it, and its a breath of fresh air to me, and thats also just embarassing.

When At Lover's Lake (Eddie Munson x fem!Reader) 18+

a/n: this is a repost! i posted and deleted it like 3 weeks ago bc i got shadowbanned like right after i posted it so let's hope this goes a little better this time! kisses! x

SYNOPSIS: You come back to Hawkins for Winter Break and catch up with your best friend, super duper senior, Eddie Munson.

WARNINGS: weed smoking, SMUT so 18+ please and thanks! (unprotected sex, wrap it before you tap it, folks)

You didn’t know what did it, but for some reason the Hawkins winter had gotten to you. You had a chill in your bones that you just couldn’t shake and it was becoming frustrating, more than anything else. You figured it was a way for the universe to punish you for leaving the small town, and all the people in it, when you left for college that previous September. Well, you say the universe, but it was probably closer to your best friend, Eddie ‘the freak’ Munson, who would without a doubt strike up a deal with a higher power to make sure you knew he missed you.

And you missed him as well, of course–the weekly letters back and forth and the occasional phone call just wasn’t cutting it. It was a shock you didn’t expect, you didn’t realise just how much you’d miss your Eddie once you left, with him having to repeat his senior year for the second time.

“This is my year, doll!” he’d tell you. “You’ll have to give me the grand tour of campus next year!”

You didn’t have much hope in Eddie actually going to college–you knew him that well, that it was obvious educational institutions weren’t his forte–but you held onto his drive at getting his diploma at least, you’d already began to make a plan to see him walk across that stage in May.

It took you a total of twenty minutes after you’d set foot in Hawkins to reunite with the man, himself–an all too familiar knock at your bedroom window as you placed your duffel bag for the winter break on your old bed. 

Almost on instinct, you rushed to the window to let Eddie inside, still thinking of all the times he’d sneak into your room to hang out during high school.

“Hello, sweetheart,” he said as he pulled you into a bone-crushing hug after you dragged him through your window. “How’s fancy-schmancy college life treating you?”

“Boring compared to yours, I imagine,” you answered. “Still running that little group of yours? And the business?”

“The Hellfire Club is good, we got a couple freshmen and they’re alright…” Eddie smiled. “And business is good, missing my favourite customer though…”

There was a silence between the two of you…was it awkward now? What happened in the three months you were gone that created this air of tension with you and Eddie–you didn’t know where to look, how to stand, all you could think about was how much you missed him.

“Well, I’m here now so let’s make up for it!” you joked. Eddie just nodded and helped you climb out of your window, like old times. The sun was just starting to drop, but there was still light in the sky, your parents wouldn’t mind if you were out late–you were an adult that was off at college for three quarters of the year now–though you figured they would probably hold an issue with the fact that you were out with the town freak, smoking weed at Lover’s Lake.

It was comfort, being back in Eddie’s old van that you swore just ran off prayer and the cheapest gas possible these days, rugged up in the blanket Eddie kept for you, while he blasted his newest cassette for you as he drove like a madman to Rick’s now abandoned shack on the shoreline of Lover’s Lake.

There were no other cars there when Eddie finally parked and settled with you in the back of his van, not very surprising considering the Indiana cold in December, fresh snow still dusted on the ground all over.

Eddie quickly parked and climbed into the back of the van with you, onto the crochet blanket he’d “found”–you were pretty sure it was taken from some random house party and no one ever came looking for it, and you’d made your piece with that.

Eddie pulled a joint out of the glove compartment of his van, pre-rolled for convenience, and lit up. He took the first few puffs before handing it to you. He simply sat back, trying to relax while you raised it to your lips. It was a relief, your dorm mate was a staunch conservative and would totally snitch on you if you tried smoking back at school, so you hadn’t partaken in a good while, and that was clear quite quickly.

Within minutes, you felt the high wash over you, more than Eddie felt. While he was simply more relaxed, a weight off his shoulders, your eyes were bloodshot, and you couldn’t stop giggling. It made Eddie laugh, when you explained that you hadn’t gotten high since you’d left Hawkins.

“Awww, my little lightweight!” he teased, roughing up your hair and taking the joint from between your fingers. “Maybe you take it easy, eh?”

You agreed, deciding it’d be better to just sit in the van as Eddie smoked. You caught up on all the going-ons of Hawkins, the new freshmen, how Eddie’s classes were going, how the new sheriff didn’t seem to care enough to even try to bust him once yet since he started at the end of the summer.

Eventually you’d caught up on everything, and so you sat in silence for a while–you’d mostly sobered up and mellowed out.

“Do you think we’d be friends if we met today?” Eddie asked out of the blue, laying back and just staring up at the roof of the van. “Like with how we are now? Or do you think we’d be too different, you off at college and me still stuck here?”

You contemplated it for a small second. “I think so. I think we’re the kind of people who were made to be close, like it’s written in the stars or something, so I think it was always in the universe’s plan for us to be friends.”

You saw Eddie smile, just a little. “Me too.”

“I can’t believe I was intimidated by you when we first met…” you reminisced. You’d met on the first day of your freshman year of high school–Eddie’s sophomore year, you’d just moved to Hawkins from a few towns over, your dad got a new job that required relocation.

His hair was still pretty short then, but he still had those curls, just cropped a lot closer to his scalp, and his skin was bare–which with your encouragement was not the case anymore. You ran into him in the hall, literally, not watching where you were going and face planted right into his chest as he stood at his locker. You were too scared to say anything as he just stared at you, and you quickly ran off after mumbling a quick apology. 

In the following days he tracked you down, he was intrigued by you, no one seemed to know who you were so he took it upon himself to introduce you to the world of Hawkins High, cliques and all. It was a shock to his system when he discovered you were almost a carbon copy of him–same music taste, love of fantasy, and a flair for the dramatics, you became friends immediately and you could count on one hand the amount of days you didn’t see him during your four years of high school after that.

“You know…” Eddie started, still avoiding eye contact. “When we first met, I had such a big crush on you…” Your blood ran cold at the revelation. 

“Yeah…. I did too-I had a crush on you, I mean…” You couldn’t blame the weed on your sudden burst of confidence. “Why didn’t we ever do anything?”

Eddie finally looked at you, who was staring right back at him. “I don’t know,” he said matter-of-factly. “I don’t know…”

“So do something now.”

Eddie quickly sat up with wide eyes, questioning you in a way. You didn’t say anything, but your grin spoke for you. You knelt on the floor of the van, and shimmied closer to Eddie, who was still sitting, legs out in front of him. You placed a hand on the side of his face–you could feel electricity running through your fingertips.

It took a second for your lips to reach his, but when it finally happened, you knew with every bone in your body that this was the universe’s plan all along. Warmth spread through your body as Eddie grabbed your waist and pulled you onto his lap so you were straddling him, and deepening the kiss. Your tongue brushed against his bottom lip, which he adjusted to let in, letting out a small groan as it happened, making you smirk into the kiss.

Soon enough, your hands began to wander from the sides of his face, to the hair on the back of his neck–which received a small tug–then to his shoulders, under his leather jacket, which was swiftly removed from his form, leaving him in just a t-shirt.

Eddie broke away from the kiss to catch his breath, as you did the same.

“A-are you sure this is alright?” he asked between pants.

You nodded, and began placing light kisses to his jaw, then to the column of his neck. “And you? Are you okay with this?”

Eddie let out a low chuckle, hands rubbing small circles on your hips. “Baby, I’m more than okay with it…”

And you could tell, the pressure growing on your inner thigh as you left a deep, red mark in the crook of his neck.

“Let’s get this off, hey?” he said, pulling at your sweater, which was quickly taken off to reveal the white, cotton bra you wore underneath. You swore Eddie’s eyes just about popped out of his head before his hands took hold of your tits and his mouth was back on yours.

You were beginning to get light-headed, and needed some relief. Without realising it, your hips began to move against Eddies, the seams of both of your jeans coming in very handy.

Eddie groaned and pulled away for a second. “Need you properly, not just like this…” You gave him a confused look, before he directed you to lay down on the blanket on the floor of the van, slipped off his t-shirt and laid over you. “Like this…”

Both of your hands made quick work of your jeans’ buttons and zippers, and before you knew it, you were bare before him, arms over his shoulders and mouths reunited again. You felt as he positioned himself at your entrance, the air was thick around you in anticipation. Eddie opened his mouth to speak again but you cut him off.

“Just get inside me already, Eddie!” you joked.

“Whatever the princess wants…” He slowly inched his way into you–you felt so full, so complete.

The pair of you stayed still for a second while you adjusted, before giving him the go ahead to move. Your blood felt hot as he thrusted, and your lips quickly found his ear and began nibbling. 

It felt like there was no one else on Earth, no one that could possibly approach the van from outside, no college that you’d have to go back to, no one that would judge the two of you.

It didn’t take long for the coil to begin to tighten in your belly, and you let it be known to Eddie, who post-haste began circling your clit with his left hand as his right hand held his head just above yours. Within minutes, you were a moaning mess below him, which set him off into his own release. After a minute, you both silenced, and Eddie pulled out of you and laid beside you–trying to catch his breath as you did the same.

“And why didn’t we do that before?” you laughed as you laid on Eddie’s bicep, still seeing stars crop up on the ceiling of the van.“I really, really don’t know…” Eddie grinned, giving you a chaste kiss on the cheek.

I Knew You Were Trouble

Champagne Problems Part 2 Repost

A/N: I am posting the fic for a second time as I mistakenly received a shadowban at the time of original posting. I hope this helps you all find it more easily! Thank you again to @haterpenny for literally everything you do! This fic will be updated weekly on Mondays.

Champagne Problems Part one

Part 3 here

Words: 5.4K

Warnings: Some swearing, references to smut. Smut in previous and future chapters. Some alcohol.

Summary: Okay, so maybe you’re interested in Carlos. Lando takes it upon himself to investigate your relationship with Daniel in an effort to save Carlos from possible heartache.

--------------------------------------------

It was press day and you were prepping for a press conference with the other drivers. It was your home race, and you were so happy to be in front of your crowd. Since Lewis had been dominating for so long, you had garnered an impressive following. You know they were all hoping you’d knock Lewis off his pedestal, but that wasn’t what it was about for you.

To you, Lewis was any other competitor. Of course, he was an icon and you respected him, but It didn’t matter if it was him or Daniel- or anyone else for that matter. Once the lights went out, they were all your rivals- and you wanted to win.

So, you filed into the press conference, waving politely to the mass of media and taking your seat between Checo and Hamilton. It still felt surreal sitting beside the other drivers and being the only woman only added to your imposter syndrome. No one really thought you had a chance in making Formula 1, and when you did it was dismissed as a political move because of your sex. All of your accomplishments and years of work were reduced to nothing more than a bit of luck and Red Bull desperate to make a statement.

Still, photos of you in your race suit were mixed among those of Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton. The drivers had embraced you wholly, and done everything they could to correct the narrative that the media was so desperate to sell.

You glanced around and raised your eyebrows playfully as you caught Daniel’s gaze across the room. He threw a wink in your direction before turning back to whatever person was announcing that the conference had officially begun.

“Still celebrating last weekend's win Y/N?” You couldn’t help but grin at the question, memories of your victory flooding your brain.

“Just focusing on this weekend’s win.” You replied with a cheeky grin, getting a laugh from Lewis.

“We saw some photos from your night out with Daniel last weekend, and you’re driving the fans absolutely wild. They’d tear us apart if we didn’t ask, is there a romantic relationship there?” You couldn’t help but chuckle a little. It certainly wasn’t the first time you had been asked that question.

“Sorry to disappoint, but Daniel is just my best friend on the grid.” You said simply, to which Daniel nodded along.

The rest of the press conference was pretty low-key, a few questions for nearly every driver that got less and less serious the longer the press conference got.

After at least twenty minutes of only half paying attention, you got a softball question from social media.

“Y/N, what’s the best way to celebrate a race win?” You couldn’t help but blurt out your first thought:

“A dance with Carlos Sainz.” You kind of couldn’t believe you’d said it. As if the Daniel rumors weren’t enough. You looked over at him, his cheeks suddenly nearly as red as his Ferrari polo.

“And a can of Pringles. Whole can, one sitting. That’s the only reason I want to win.” You made a joke, hoping it may be enough to distract from your brazen flirting. Or at least nail yourself a sponsorship.

Your entire focus needed to shift. Qualifying was only a few hours away, and there was even more pressure on you than usual since you were in front of your home crowd. You stretched in your driver’s room, listened to some music to get you a little more hyped, and before too long you were being ushered into your car.

You qualified second by .127 of a second. While overall it was certainly a good position, Lewis Hamilton had qualified first.

The next afternoon, when it was time to take to the starting grid, you lined up alongside him, focusing so intently on the red blinking lights, hoping more than anything you’d get the better start. Unfortunately, Lewis got the jump on you, reaching the first chicane with about a half car length between you. Bottas was starting right behind you, and you knew that if you made even the smallest mistake, he’d take advantage.

On lap 32 you were sure that you had the opportunity to overtake Hamilton, having DRS on the main straight, and with one small kiss between your front left and #44’s back tire, you were spiraling hopelessly into the wall.

It all happened so damn fast, that you barely had a moment to brace for the impact. You felt a sinking feeling in your stomach. Seconds ago you were in the lead for the championship. A DNF meant you’d have a major disadvantage going into the next race as Hamilton seemed to escape the scrape unscathed.

After a moment you heard your engineer’s voice “Are you okay?” You let out a groan- whether it was from frustration or pain- you weren’t sure. “Yes, I’m okay. I’m sorry.” You sighed, mentally taking inventory of any possible injuries. You heard the high buzzing sound of a car approaching and glanced over to see the Papaya McLaren, a thumb held up in question. You returned it, although you were feeling devastated. Once you were confident that you were uninjured and just jarred from the crash, you disconnected your steering wheel and started to climb out of your seat.

Then it was the walk of shame back to the garage.

You trudged back to your room, feeling defeated and absolutely exhausted. You were sore and all you wanted to do was watch movies alone while eating food that would make your trainer gasp. Dan had even shown up, offering his company in whatever capacity you found the most desirable, but you told him you’d rather be alone. After giving you a big hug and a kiss on the cheek he left you to wallow in your misery- he knew the feeling well.

So you cozied up in your bed, alternating heat and ice on your tired neck while the opening credits to Dirty Dancing flashed across the TV screen. You were startled by the sound of a knock at the door, your brow furrowed as you wondered who would be brave enough to visit you now. Behind the door stood Carlos, a sad smile on his face when your eyes met his.

“I just wanted to see how you were doing.” He said, answering a question you had not asked. You sighed and glanced around, unsure of exactly how to respond.

“I’ll be fine. Just not tonight.” You replied honestly.

“Well, I just wanted to bring these by.” He moved his hand out from behind his back and revealed a can of Pringles, making a genuine smile fall over your features. Seems like someone was paying attention during the press conference. You looked up at his big brown eyes and felt as though maybe he was the only thing in the world that would make you feel better right now.

“Do you want to come in?” You asked, happily accepting the crisps.

“I can share.” You added, nodding towards the can. A big smile broke out across his cheeks.

“Yeah, that sounds nice.” You moved to the side and allowed him to pass, suddenly realizing that this was the first time you and he had ever been alone together. You hoped you hadn’t left anything embarrassing lying around and did a quick survey of the room. Luckily you saw no stray panties.

“I was just going to watch Dirty Dancing, if you want we can watch something else.” You offered, climbing on your bed and patting the spot next to you. He looked down at the bed, back at you, and then started to take his shoes off. You were wearing a pair of cozy short shorts, and a loose-fitted t-shirt from a concert you had attended years ago. Carlos had a black t-shirt on and some sweatpants. Perfect comfy clothes.

“It’s a great movie.” He agreed.

You popped open the can of chips and helped yourself to a few before turning it towards Carlos. He settled beside you and awkwardly tried to reach his significantly larger hand into the narrow can. After watching him struggle for a moment, you tilted the container to assist.

“Thanks.” He replied with a chuckle, and you couldn’t help but notice just how handsome he looked, and how lovely his arm brushing lightly against yours felt.

You wanted to be closer to him. You wanted him to open his arms around you so you could nuzzle up into his chest, but was that what he wanted? Or was he just checking on a friend who had a rough day?

After a few moments of mentally fighting with yourself, you decided to take a little leap. You rested your head on his shoulder, and you swore he tensed. Just as you began to realize it was a mistake, he pulled away and you felt your stomach drop. Until he reached over and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. You basically melted into him, feeling like this was what the two of you should have been doing for the last three years. You rested your palm on his chest and focused more on the gentle rise and fall of his breathing than the movie. You felt more brazen, your leg slowly inching closer to his, determined to be snuggled up in him. He seemed to welcome the contact, a subtle smile gracing his lips as you got comfortable. You imagined that perhaps he had that lovely pink blush across his cheeks that you had caught a glimpse of at the press conference, but you didn’t dare move to look.

Before too long you were watching Baby dance for Johnny while Solomen Burke's “Cry To Me” played and you suddenly realized just how sexy this stupid 80s movie was.

“Is this where you learned to dance?” You asked, thinking about how his hands felt against you last weekend. He chuckled.

“If you want another dance, all you have to do is ask,” Carlos said, a sudden boost in confidence evident in his tone. You felt your chest flutter at the thought.

“Alright, fine. Can I have another dance?” You asked, too nervous to look up at him. He mumbled something under his breath, you believed in Spanish before he moved away from you and stood, stretching his hand out towards you. He looked so incredibly tempting, his lips so full and pink, his hair begging to have your fingers carded through it. You took his hand and he helped you to your feet, his hands slipping their way down to your waist. You swayed in time with him, resting your head in the crook of his neck. Of all the ways you had pictured today going, this was not one of them. You snuck your fingers up beside his neck and he only leaned in closer to you, his head resting atop yours fondly.

After a few moments of enjoying the simplicity of being in one another’s arms, you felt Carlos’ featherlight touch on your chin, tilting your gaze up to meet his. Instead of staring into his eyes, all you could focus on were his lips.

Before you could think about any of the possible repercussions, you were leaning forward and pressing your lips against his. He held your cheeks gently and lightly nudged his nose against yours. You couldn’t believe it had taken you this long to kiss this man.

Finally, you pulled away, mostly just to breathe. He knelt down, touching his forehead gently to yours.

“Oh.” You said involuntarily, overwhelmed by the chemistry and the way he was looking at you. It took all of your strength to not tear his shirt off of him, but you wanted to do your best to be rational. What was Carlos expecting from this? Carlos was a good friend. Was he hoping for a one-night stand, a relationship, or an arrangement like you and Daniel had?

You took a step back, your hands dropping to your sides. A look of concern flashed over Carlos’ flushed features.

“I’m sorry. I- it’s.”

“N-no, it’s fine! It’s just been a bad day and… I’m glad you’re here.” You said simply, smiling softly at him.

“I’m glad I’m here too.” He agreed.

Every now and then he’d shift to get you an ice pack for your sad muscles, rub your shoulders a little- anything to try and minimize the pain you both knew you would be feeling the next day.

Once the movie was over you started talking about the highs and lows of growing up in motorsport. He talked about carrying the weight of his father’s successful career, and you explained how being a woman made you feel like there was always a target on your back. He laid propped up on a pillow, while you opted to use his thigh as a pillow, occasionally turning your head to meet his pleasant gaze.

“I’m proud of everything I’ve done, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But sometimes I wonder if they’re right. Am I here because of my ability, or am I here as a statement?” You explained, avoiding his eyes in the event that he may perceive your venting as complaining. He sat up a bit straighter, taking you by surprise.

“Y/N, you can’t honestly think that. You’re one of the best drivers on the grid. If anyone thinks you’re just here because you’re a woman- then they’re not paying attention. That’s their problem, not yours.” Carlos replied thoughtfully, this time putting a stray piece of your hair behind your ear. Again, you felt those lovely butterflies fluttering around inside of you and you were unable to hide your smile.

You spent that night tangled up in Carlos’ arms, occasionally unable to tear your eyes away from his long eyelashes and the way they brushed across his cheeks. The man was truly gorgeous and it felt unreal that he was lying there beside you. His tan skin against those white sheets- he nearly looked like he was glowing. The fact that he was comfortable enough to fall asleep beside you- it made your chest tight with affection.

When you were convinced he was asleep you pressed the softest possible kiss to his lips, and succumbed to sleep yourself.

The next morning, Carlos was still beside you, his hair much messier, his eyes a little droopy with sleep.

“Good morning.” He said, as soon as he caught your eyes. You couldn’t believe he had stayed the night, and you couldn’t believe how natural it felt to wake up beside him. You giggled a bit at the absurdity of the situation and Carlos returned your grin- 24 hours ago you never would have predicted this.

“Good morning,” The room was still rather dark thanks to the hotel’s thick black-out curtains, and you grabbed your phone to check the time. It was almost 9 o’clock and you were starving. You tossed your phone aside and turned your attention back to your sleepover buddy.

“I’m sorry I kept you up so late.” You said, sitting up in bed and reaching your arms over your head in a stretch. He simply shook his head, and a hand waved dismissively.

“I wanted to be sure you were okay,” Carlos replied, adding a little shrug.

“Well if it wasn’t for you, I would have just felt sorry for myself all night. So thank you, it meant a lot… and I had a great time.” You told him, suddenly feeling a little shy. It occurred to you that you had told Carlos a lot about yourself- some things that you even had a hard time confessing to Daniel.

“Is there any way you’d maybe want to go get breakfast?” You pushed your luck, wondering if maybe you’d be able to steal even more of his time. Your dinner the previous evening had comprised mostly of Pringles and minibar snacks and a big waffle with whipped cream was calling your name.

“Yeah, breakfast sounds good.” He agreed.

“Okay, awesome. Is it okay if I take a shower real quick? And then we can go?” You asked, flashing him some big doe eyes that he surely couldn’t say no to.

“Of course, no problem.”

“I’ll be quick!” You promised, hopping off the bed and grabbing a dress to change into.

Once you were gone, Carlos grabbed his phone and began to scroll through the floor of notifications he had- mostly from Lando.

Lando: Tell me how it goes!!!!

Lando: Did you talk to her?

Lando: You’re not in your room.

Lando: What is going on????

Lando: Either it went very well or VERY poorly

Lando: UPDATE??

Lando: I hate you

Carlos chuckled, scrolling through the messages before finally typing one back.

Carlos: I’m still here!!

Lando: YOU SPENT THE NIGHT??!

Carlos: 😎

Just as Carlos began to type out a lengthy explanation, he felt the vibration of your phone beside him. He fished it out of the sheets and went to set it on the nightstand when a text caught his eyes.

Big Dick Ricc: Come over with as little clothing on as possible. I’ve got a surprise for you. 😘

Carlos felt his heart sink. Obviously, that was Daniel. And obviously, the two of you were not just friends. Friends don’t send one another messages like that. No wonder you backed away so quickly after you kissed. He felt like such an idiot. He set your phone aside and stood, unsure of what he should do next. He considered confronting you, but he rationalized that the message was more proof than necessary to reinforce what the media and other drivers had long suspected had been going on between you and the Aussie. One thing was quite clear to Carlos- it should have been Daniel consoling you- holding you the previous night, and not him.

He laced his shoes back up and left.

Nearly five minutes later you had turned the water off and began to dry your hair, a big dopey grin on your face from last night’s events. You began to wonder- was a real relationship with someone on the grid possible? Something more than just fun nights and casual sex? You stood for a moment and stared at your foggy reflection in the mirror, trying not to get too ahead of yourself. It was just one night, and for all you knew it meant nothing to Carlos.

You made quick work of drying yourself off, the thought of him waiting for you making you feel like perhaps this weekend hadn’t been so awful after all. You slipped into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt you thought used to belong to Daniel and threw your hair up into a high pony before giving yourself one last look.

You went back into the bedroom, smiling ear to ear as you began to ask about how Lando would deal with having a meal without him when you realized he was gone. You furrowed your brow and glanced around in confusion thinking that he may have gone back to his room to change. You spotted your phone over on the nightstand and saw you had a couple texts from Daniel.

Daniel: Trouble x DR3 is in and it’s sick!!!

You chuckled and rolled your eyes at his messages. You and Daniel had decided to collaborate on a line of merch, and it seemed it had finally arrived. You decided to go by and check it out, and maybe shoot a text Carlos’ way on the way back. You padded down the hall to Dan’s room and only had to knock once before he was whipping the door open. He wished you good morning and was ushering you into the room with the enthusiasm of a toddler just up from a nap.

“Check it out. They wanted to set up a photoshoot for the launch, so let me know when you’re free.” He said, pulling a mint and purple-colored hoodie out of a box and holding it up over his chest. He was right, it was pretty damn cool. It had your number on one sleeve, Daniel’s on the other, and each of your logos across the back.

“And that is the very first one, just for you. We’ve got beanies and sweatpants too.” He told you, abruptly tossing the hoodie at you before fishing for the other pieces he mentioned.

“Wow, Danny, these are awesome. This was such a great idea.” You told him, inspecting each item over his shoulder. You’d never had a line of merch before, aside from team gear, and it was such a cool thing to share with your best friend. Dan always had new, cool merch and you were just excited to be a part of it.

“This might be my favorite line yet.” He announced before pressing a little kiss to the top of your head.

You considered telling him about your night with Carlos, but the idea made you feel a little silly, almost like you were in high school. You glanced at your phone and your smile dropped when you saw no text. You decided to send him one.

“Breakfast?” That was all you could think to say.

“How are you? After yesterday?” Dan pulled your attention back to him, his silly demeanor suddenly turning to one far more serious and concerned. You felt yourself forcing a smile before you could even think about what you wanted to say.

“Hey, I’m not the media. Don’t bullshit me.” Of course, Daniel was right. You let the expression fall and melted into a shrug.

“It fucking sucked, man. But I’ve gotta let it go and focus on the next race.” He nodded, full of understanding. Few people in this sport understood disappointment better than Daniel did.

“Yeah, I know. But you’re still in it. Anything can happen.” The tenderness in his voice almost brought you to tears, and then he was pulling you into a hug and lightly stroking your hair the way he knew you liked.

“And then something happened with Carlos,” You blurted out, your face still completely buried in his chest.

“Carlos Sainz? Junior or senior?” He asked in mock seriousness, getting an actual laugh out of you.

“Junior, dumbass.” You giggled as you pulled away, wiping a stray tear that you both chose to not acknowledge.

“He came over last night to check on me. And we hung out and watched movies and talked all night. I asked him to breakfast, he said yes, I showered and when I came out he was gone. And now he’s not answering my text. I don’t get what happened.” All of it just sort of came tumbling out of you. He furrowed his brow and he thought for a moment before speaking.

“Reckon he went to change? Or maybe something came up?” You pursed your lips, unsatisfied with either reason.

“I guess. I just… thought maybe there was something there? I don’t know. All I know is I need a drink.” You concluded. Dan nudged you in the side a little playfully before saying “You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning. C’mon, I’ll be your breakfast buddy then.” You shook all of the uncertainty and frustration from the weekend out of your mind and grinned at the big goofball in front of you.

“But first,” He turned and reached back into the box and pulled another hoodie out.

“We’ve got to be in uniform.” He told you, tugging it on and making you giggle in delight.

“Let’s go get toasted.” Dan said, offering you his hand, which you gladly accepted. Breakfast with your best friend didn’t sound so bad.

The two of you wandered down the lobby, Daniel making you laugh with stupid jokes along the way. His company was exactly what you needed- at least you knew you could always count on him.

The restaurant was quite beautiful, adorned with huge windows and immaculately set tables. If it weren’t for Daniel, you would have felt silly and underdressed in your matching hoodies. The maitre d seated you immediately, and Daniel wasted no time in ordering your first round of drinks.

“So… more on that Carlos thing. Has he answered?” You went to peek at your phone.

“Nope. Still nothing.” You replied a little defeatedly.

“Weird. He seemed into you.” He answered, seemingly just as confused as you were. Finally, the mimosas arrived and you and Daniel shared a little clinkies.

What you were unaware of, was the fact that Lando was also having breakfast on the other side of the restaurant. He spotted the pair of you when you arrived and almost choked on his scone. He pulled his phone out and sent a text to Carlos.

Lando: Dude, she’s here with Daniel. What happened???

Lando kept sneaking little looks at the two of you, hoping he wasn’t being too obvious. Honestly, part of him wanted to go join you guys and see what the heck was going on.

Lando: They’ve got matching jumpers on.

His food was surely getting cold, but he couldn't bring himself to care. He knew Carlos had been pining over you for months, but he couldn’t figure out if it was his place to intervene. Daniel was his teammate, and he felt like their relationship was good enough for him to ask about whatever was going on between the two of you. But he’d seen you and Dan dismiss the relationship rumors at least a dozen times. Plus, Carlos was always bragging about how smooth he was with women and seeing him struggle made Lando just the tiniest bit amused.

Carlos: Yeah. They’re together.

Lando: I’m flying back to Monaco with them. Do you want me to talk to her?

Carlos: No. It’s fine.

Lando knew Carlos well enough to know it was not fine.

You and Daniel were probably about three to four mimosas when you spotted a familiar face in the lobby. For a moment, you felt your heart leap up in your chest as you locked eyes with Carlos. Maybe there was some silly misunderstanding like Dan had suggested. And then you realized Carlos had his suitcase. He quickly averted his gaze and moved swiftly out of the lobby and towards a waiting car.

“What the hell?”

“What?” Dan questioned.

“Carlos just left with his suitcase. He looked at me and he left.” Dan furrowed his brow and sucked in through his teeth.

You tried to push the interaction out of your mind with a few more drinks and extra whipped cream on your waffles. Before too long, you were stuffed, and a bit tipsier than was probably good for you. You had to get ready to catch your flight, and you had not yet begun to pack. The thought made you lean back in your chair and groan.

“Reckon we better go get ready to leave,” Dan commented, glancing at his phone to check the time.

“Yeah, I know. Will you help me pack?” You asked, flashing your biggest, most pleading look.

“I think I better.” He chuckled in agreement. Daniel paid the bill and took you by the arm and helped you stumble all the way back to your room. Then you laid in bed while he essentially packed all of your things up for you.

“Alright, princess. Let’s go.” He announced, plopping down beside you and setting a hand on your hip. Something about the way the word ‘princess’ rolled off his tongue made you wish you had some extra time to spare.

If your run-in with Carlos had taught you one thing, it’s to not mess with how simple and safe your relationship with Dan was. Investing more feelings and going out on a limb with someone new was obviously not worth the risk. You had been more than content spending all of your free time beneath the sheets with Daniel- and that’s how things would stay. That’s why things had always been so good between the two of you. You’d both been hurt in your past and it was much easier to try to forgo making any new attachments to people- even ones you thought you could trust.

Next thing you knew you were boarding your private flight, one you opted to join Daniel and Lando on and some key McLaren team members. You traveled with Daniel and Lando as often as possible, because it was convenient, and one of your favorite ways to unwind and have fun with some of your best mates. You sat down beside the window and pulled out your little travel pillow, excited to sleep off your buzz. You felt the seat beside you shift and leaned over, resting your head on Daniel’s shoulder. Until you realized it was Lando’s shoulder. You shot up straight, a bit startled at the realization.

“Hello, Y/N.”

“Fuck, Lando. You scared the hell out of me.” You told him.

“Sorry. Expecting Daniel?” He questioned, an odd lilt to his voice that you couldn’t quite place. He had on one of his Team Quadrant hoodies and a pair of sweatpants, with some white Nike’s.

“Uh, well yeah. He lets me sleep on him.” You replied blankly, glancing around in search of your human body pillow.

“Yeah, I think he’s in the bathroom. Anyway, you guys are matching. That’s cute.” The conversation felt super odd and fishy. You furrowed your brow.

“He suggested we collaborate on some merch. These are just the first ones.” You explained, still confused by the interrogation and his sudden proximity. Thankfully, before that awkward confrontation could continue, Daniel was back and glancing down at Lando, arms up in confusion.

“Pretty sure that’s my seat.”

“Don’t think they’re assigned, mate.” Lando quipped in response. Dan just flashed you a look and you shrugged in return.

“Alright, you can stay, Lando. But I will sleep on you for the entirety of this flight.” You warned, flashing a stern look to show how serious you were. His eyes flickered between yours and Dan’s, as though questioning how idle your threat was.

“She’s serious.” Dan nodded in confirmation. Lando clenched his jaw before finally choosing to surrender. He grabbed his stuff and settled in one of the seats directly behind you.

“That was weird.” You whispered lowly to Daniel as he got comfortable in his seat.

“Yeah, don’t know what that was about.” He agreed, pulling out his phone and opening his camera. You pulled your sunglasses down, hoping to make your slightly inebriated state a bit less obvious. He snapped the photo, and it looked quite cute. He looked at you somewhat adoringly and you had your matching hoodies on. He added it to his story, tagged you and simply wrote “TRBL x DR3”.

This was what you needed to focus on. The friends that were truly there for you, and your race to the championship. That mattered more than any fleeting romance ever could. You curled up against Dan and closed your eyes, thinking about all the ways you could recenter yourself with your week off. You wanted to get back to training immediately and come back with another race win now more than ever.

Just as you started to drift off, you felt your phone vibrate.

Carlos: Sorry about this morning. We probably shouldn’t see each other anymore.

You almost felt nauseous reading the text. What the hell did that mean and how were you supposed to respond to it? Not even twenty-four hours ago, things were going so well. What could have possibly changed? You decided to leave him on read. You wanted to discuss it with Dan, but Lando was barely two feet away and would no doubt relay anything he heard back to Carlos. You pushed your sunglasses back down, desperate to hide your misty eyes. At least you’d have time away to try to regain some dignity before you had to see his stupid, handsome face again. The next race was in Imola- and you knew Ferrari would be front and center, it would be nearly impossible to get away from the guy. Hopefully, you could come up with a better poker face by then. You slipped your headphones on and listened to what Daniel had once described as “angry girl music” and waited for the small motions of the plane to lull you back to sleep.

a couple days ago the lovely @nancywheeeler​ tagged me to do an ao3 wrapped here! i have had a Very busy weekend so i am only now getting to actually posting, but here are my belated responses:

Works published: 5 at the moment (with at least 2 more i’ll be putting up before the end of the year; possibly one or two more than that if i can get my act together and finish up the treat(s) i’ve been chipping away at in exchange to my main assignments in a couple holiday exchanges. busy end of the year for me!)

Words written: 41510 posted this year so far—more than i thought!

Hits: 3647 on my 2022 fics

Bookmarks: 118

Most popular by kudos: Do my friends think I’m dying? (or do I just need to go to sleep?), my singular to-date contribution to the ted lasso/colin hughes fandom and first foray into redditfic (which by the way was SUCH a blast to write that i think i’m going to have to do it again sometime soon. i ought to be more sorry about that than i am)

Most hits: look at the desperate man (omg rip to this fic... worked on it for a little bit this summer when i was feeling particularly angsty about Some Stuff i was dealing with. ran out of angst steam halfway through the final chapter because my life improved lol, got re-possessed by various locked tomb wips around nona release day, and now i kind of just don’t ever want to look at it anymore. maybe i’ll finish it someday?)

Longest: same as previous

Shortest: shovel talk (in f major) (most of which was hurriedly written in one day as a last-hurrah before nona came out to smash my entire life into bits!)

Most comments: inside problems which people have been VERY nice to me about agghhhh

Fic that made me cry: any discussion about the fics that did maximum emotional damage to me MUST mention syntheseas’ INCREDIBLY ambitious and well-written nothing but dark and sound, which i reread following its most recent update. if you’re a locked tomb fan and you’re not already keeping up with this fic... well you need to be. basically. shoutout also to @forjodssake​’s feeling good was easy when he sang the blues, which i just read this thursday and have STILL not recovered from—AMAZING character work!!!

Fic that made me smile: so many! but my favorite comfort read for the last year and change has been @nancywheeeler​‘s four weddings and no funeral. melts my heart every time! cannot recommend highly enough :)

Gifts: does this mean gifts given or gifts received? unclear. anyway in terms of gifts given—do my friends think i’m dying was my tribute to @nancywheeeler​‘s excellent good old-fashioned lover boy, and i’ve got exchange fics i’ll be posting for a few people shortly. for gifts received, there’s whatever comes out of those exchanges!

Collaborations: none this year—or ever before, actually! BUT i am very very interested in the prospect… 👀 friends/mutuals/likeminded individuals active in any of my fandoms, if you’ve ever got an Idea you want to bang on about together or are particularly interested in fleshing out any of the half-formed Concepts i toss out into the void, hit me up and maybe we can make something happen! (well, hit me up whenever my dms are working again, anyway… the shadowban glitch which i’ve been living under for going on a MONTH now is a curse upon this earth)

Events taken part in: yuletide 2022, and the 2022 locked tomb holiday exchange!

thanks again em for the tag! in turn i will tag @aberfaeth​, @rnanqo​, @palamedes-sextus​, and anyone else who’s interested! (and who actually sees this—unsure if any of you will get a notification when i post this, due to the aforementioned shadowban :/)

eCom Challenges Review

eCom Challenges Review (Thaddeus Strickland Course)

Today, we’ll be reviewing Thaddeus Strickland’s eCom Challenges course on dropshipping. It sells as a single stop to learn all the knowledge you need to start and scale your own eCommerce venture.

After reading this review, you’ll be able to tell if that’s statement is true or not. As always, you can jump right into my conclusion, but I’d recommend you read the entire review to make a more informed choice.

Who’s the author?

According to Thaddy, he’s a “serial entrepreneur”, and he’s from the US. He creates content and store as well as software he sells as is source of income. This course works as an in-depth extension of the content provided by his videos on YouTube.

His popularity has grown quite a bit in recent months, and if you’re used to watching dropshipping content, you’ve probably seen his channel among your recommendations. He’s nearing the 40,000 subscribers mark, and his content focuses on tutorials and strategies for making money through dropshipping.

His Instagram account @thaddy is also quite active, and he passed the 43,000 subscribers milestone months ago. His content there is somewhat more personal in that he mostly shares the luxurious lifestyle he’s been able to afford with his ventures.

You can see different advertisements and posts promoting his course on Instagram if you’re used to following this business style.

Reviewing eCom Challenges

eCom Challenges features 92 different videos among 23 modules, so it’s a bit on the longer side of dropshipping courses. You can pay and access the course on Teachables, so the videos are high quality and responsive.

The course itself presents as a challenge, and the idea is to provide you with a more entertaining approach to learning the business model.

Intro

Module 1 introduces you to the program. It’s your basic overview of what you can expect and the invitation to join the FB group, where you can post any doubts you might have for other students to help you.

Thaddy’s approach

This module offers 3 videos showing you how Thaddy creates his ventures. You learn different methods for creating your store, how to pick your theme, which widgets Thaddy recommends, among other things.

Recommended programs

In the 3rd module, you’re recommended several tools you can use to make your store more effective. Included here, we have Facebook and its advertisements to attract more customers. You have a lesson on how to test your ads (run several at the same time) and how you can catch visitor leads to reduce your workload automating and driving your sales.

Finding and validating products

This is your product research module, and Thaddy explains here how you can find products with certainty that they’ll sell. You also learn how to move said products into your store from online marketplaces (i.e. AliExpress), and he also goes into tools to facilitate this task, like Oberlo.

There’s also a lesson on using data from AliExpress to validate your ideas, one on how to look for new chances with Google Trends, and a last one on how to use Facebook’s search bar to look for the items that other stores are selling with success.

Marketing

Module 5 is just 2 videos on how you can market your store through Instagram.

It goes into how to use influencers on the platform to sell to their already-built audiences. There are also lessons now other Instagram-related strategies to expose your products to potential customers.

Optimizing your pages

You have 2 videos with a strategy on each to improve the pages for your products. The first one teaches you how you can find the best stock images using AliExpress.

The second one is about the lifecycle of your products. That’s basically what you can expect from your products when you list and sell them through a store.

Launch preparations

This module’s purpose is to go through what to do regarding orders, before and after they start coming in.

The lessons cover how to fulfill your orders, how your Instagram funnel should be (it’s essentially just the entire process your customers go through from your ad to buying your offer), the proper way to price your listings, and when/how to scale your store.

Important considerations

Modules 8 and 9 go into different scenarios and considerations you should keep in mind while running your business. It’s a very interesting section, but it’s more theory than anything you can actually put into practice.

You have lessons on what you should do if your store doesn’t get conversions, how using influencers has evolved through time, how to spot good influencers, a simplification of the dropshipping business model, and comparison between low, mid, and high ticket items.

You also have a lesson on how to make your store look clean and flawless, and a few theoretical videos responding questions like why you should use free+shiping, why working with large influencers, and why the most important sales quarter of the year is Q4 (October, November, December)

Facebook strategies

This module introduces us to Noah, who’s been invited to provide the Facebook training with a few advertising tactics.

The first approach you learn is how to use lookalike purchases to increase your conversions. There are also 3 videos explaining the process of setting up a funnel on Facebook to ensure sales for the products you promote through Facebook.

Product photos

This is a short module on how to take great-looking photos for under $10. You learn why the white background matters and how to speed up your photos.

Designing

This is kind of the continuation of the previous module, and it goes into editing and altering your photos as well as your store’s logo and design in general.

You have lessons on presets, manually editing your photos, how Thaddy designed his first logo, and why you want to pay attention to dimensions if you want to display your images properly.

Payments

Module 13 talks about payments in 2 videos. You have one about Shopify’s issue of holding payments (when Shopify keeps your money on hold after customers buy from you) and how to solve it, and the other one is about setting up your payments properly to get your funds faster.

Facebook Ads types

This lesson goes into the different types of Facebook ads you have at your disposure for marketing your products.

You learn about how to set up your Facebook Pixel, carousel and dynamic ads, retargeting ads, and custom and lookalike audiences.

I get why this content wasn’t included in the previous Facebook Ads module, but it definitely feels off to have them separated by 3 modules with nothing to do with the topic.

Facebook Ads strategies (again, it seems)

And it gets worse since then you have another module discussing strategies you can employ with the different types of Facebook ads you already learned. I was really distracted by this, but I doubt this will be a problem for everyone.

I just don’t like when courses’ structures look random.

Anyways, here you learn about a “3-ad objective” strategy, how you can stop spending money marketing to individuals who aren’t likely to buy, and how to get ideas for your images and captions.

Bull-rush

This module goes into a strategy used by Thaddy to boost his conversions. It revolves around analyzing your data, and the lessons explain to you what the strategy actually is and what requisites you need to meet if you want to use it.

Scaling

Module 16 is about why you want to outsource your work and how to do it. It’s essentially how you get to scale your store and spend less time on it while generating more money.

You learn how to test, self-scale, and some software that you can use to run your ads with less time and effort when testing. You can apply this knowledge yourself, but there’s also content on how to hire others to do this for you so you can focus on other tasks.

Influencers

This is the most substantial module in the course, and it focuses on Facebook and Instagram, as you might have seen coming throughout the course. However, FB influencers are a lot more underestimated than Instagram’s.

You’re introduced to another friend of Thaddy, whom he calls JT. The claim is that he made $45,000 in just one day, and this module gives you a motivational message from JT, but it also gives you a summary of how he did it. He focused on influencers.

You basically learn what they are and how you can find the most effective, both paid and free. You also learn how to reach out to them and get them to shout out your products.

The final videos are about how to work into a long-term partnership and how you can use the 2 platforms discussed efficiently.

Again, I don’t see why this section was separated from the other two. The Instagram marketing section was around 3 modules before the first Facebook strategies, and some of you might get lost with all the content in-between.

And there’s a final hit.

How to use Instagram

The closing 2 modules of the course are about how to use Instagram effectively, right after you learn how to use it with influencers, and 14 modules after the one about Instagram marketing.

You learn how to decide if you should automate your process and how to do so, using automated direct messaging, “Shadowbans” and how to avoid them, using hashtags efficiently, how to manage your growth, leveraging Instagram highlights and making logos or covers for them, how other brands are using highlights effectively, how to set up autocomment, and getting free traffic.

Bonuses

The bonuses come with a handful of guides and files you can use to make your entrepreneurship easier.

You have a directory with over 150 dropshipping companies in the US, a checklist, a list of the best 500 stores on Shopify, Thaddy’s favorite 30 influencers on Instagram, and some presets for both mobile and desktop you can use on your site.

Final Verdict

Is It Worth It? Final Verdict

This course falls where most courses do so: providing enough depth. It definitely covers more ground than your standard dropshipping guru, but it’s still weak when it comes to providing actual depth instead of an overview.

It also fails to provide examples of the concepts being applied instead of just telling defining them and telling you how they should work.

However, the worst offence is the course structure. It feels like Thaddy didn’t really think about the appropriate order of the modules, and if you want to understand everything, you’ll probably find yourself jumping through the different modules, back and forth, not to forget anything between related modules.

Finally, it’s too expensive. You have courses like eCom Elites you can buy for as low as $197, and it offers a bit over twice the amount of content here, and it provides a lot more depth that’s well-structured.

I hope you found this review useful and if you have any questions, please comment down below. I’ll be more than happy to assist you.

Once again, thanks for reading my eCom Challenges Review and I wish you the best of luck.

Afternoon MAGAthread: YOUR WEEKLY PRESIDENTIAL RECAP!

HAPPY SATURDAY PATRIOTS!

Welcome to your weekly Presidential Recap! This is u/Ivaginaryfriend here and I'm back to deliver all things dank and spicy from the past week. For those that missed any past recaps you can check those out here!

Now onto the show!

Sunday, January 20th:

TODAY'S ACTION:

2 Years of Accomplishments

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

Always heard that as President, “it’s all about the economy!” Well, we have one of the best economies in the history of our Country. Big GDP, lowest unemployment, companies coming back to the U.S. in BIG numbers, great new trade deals happening, & more. But LITTLE media mention!

Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!

Nancy Pelosi and some of the Democrats turned down my offer yesterday before I even got up to speak. They don’t see crime & drugs, they only see 2020 - which they are not going to win. Best economy! They should do the right thing for the Country & allow people to go back to work.

No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer. It is a 3 year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else. Likewise there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy!

Nancy Pelosi has behaved so irrationally & has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a Radical Democrat. She is so petrified of the “lefties” in her party that she has lost control...And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!

Nancy, I am still thinking about the State of the Union speech, there are so many options - including doing it as per your written offer (made during the Shutdown, security is no problem), and my written acceptance. While a contract is a contract, I’ll get back to you soon!

Wow, just heard that my poll numbers with Hispanics has gone up 19%, to 50%. That is because they know the Border issue better than anyone, and they want Security, which can only be gotten with a Wall.

Don’t forget, we are building and renovating big sections of Wall right now. Moving quickly, and will cost far less than previous politicians thought possible. Building, after all, is what I do best, even when money is not readily available!

Thank you David!

The Media is not giving us credit for the tremendous progress we have made with North Korea. Think of where we were at the end of the Obama Administration compared to now. Great meeting this week with top Reps. Looking forward to meeting with Chairman Kim at end of February!

(video)

Thanks James!

A truly great First Lady who doesn’t get the credit she deserves!

Congratulations to Bob Kraft, Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the entire New England Patriots team on a great game and season. Will be a fantastic Super Bowl!

Curt Schilling deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Great record, especially when under pressure and when it mattered most. Do what everyone in Baseball knows is right! @marklevinshow

“No President in modern times has kept more promises than Donald Trump!” Thank you Bill Bennett @SteveHiltonx

Last year was the best year for American Manufacturing job growth since 1997, or 21 years. The previous administration said manufacturing will not come back to the U.S., “you would need a magic wand.” I guess I found the MAGIC WAND - and it is only getting better!

SIGNIFICANT TWEETS AND NEWS:

The MAGA Kids did nothing wrong and people are using it to push their Anti Trump Agenda

The NYT tried to destroy the life of an innocent child! SUE THEM!

CNN reporter calling for violence on white kid

Where was the Mainstream Media when 2 teenagers harassed and assaulted an Old Man supporting Trump? 🧐

🐸 TOP SPICE OF THE DAY 🐸:

Happy second anniversary Pedes, it’s been an honor shitposting with you

Jake Tapper Tweeting out Article that says the media wildly mischaracterized the Covington video

4chan has a knack for synthesizing situations down to the roux

Today marks the two year anniversary of the godfather of all reeeeeeeeeeeeeees

Who is it that was triggered?

Monday, January 21st:

TODAY'S ACTION:

President Trump & Vice President Pence Visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

President Trump Delivers Remarks on the Humanitarian Crisis on Our Southern Border (Spanish)

🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:

Today we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for standing up for the self-evident truth Americans hold so dear, that no matter what the color of our skin or the place of our birth, we are all created equal by God. #MLKDay

Democrats campaigned on working within Washington and “getting things done!” How is that working out? #2020TAKEBACKTHEHOUSE

To all of the great people who are working so hard for your Country and not getting paid I say, THANK YOU - YOU ARE GREAT PATRIOTS! We must now work together, after decades of abuse, to finally fix the Humanitarian, Criminal & Drug Crisis at our Border. WE WILL WIN BIG!

Today, it was my great honor to visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial with @VP Mike Pence, in honor of #MLKDay

China posts slowest economic numbers since 1990 due to U.S. trade tensions and new policies. Makes so much sense for China to finally do a Real Deal, and stop playing around!

If Nancy Pelosi thinks that Walls are “immoral,” why isn’t she requesting that we take down all of the existing Walls between the U.S. and Mexico, even the new ones just built in San Diego at their very strong urging. Let millions of unchecked “strangers” just flow into the U.S.

Four people in Nevada viciously robbed and killed by an illegal immigrant who should not have been in our Country. 26 people killed on the Border in a drug and gang related fight. Two large Caravans from Honduras broke into Mexico and are headed our way. We need a powerful Wall!

Democrats are kidding themselves (they don’t really believe it!) if they say you can stop Crime, Drugs, Human Trafficking and Caravans without a Wall or Steel Barrier. Stop playing games and give America the Security it deserves. A Humanitarian Crisis!

Looking like Nick Sandman & Covington Catholic students were treated unfairly with early judgements proving out to be false - smeared by media. Not good, but making big comeback! “New footage shows that media was wrong about teen’s encounter with Native American” @TuckerCarlson

(Retweeting Kaya Jones) I want to show other celebrities who voted for @realDonaldTrump it’s ok to come forward. Better yet let’s show the world how many Americans stand with him.

Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be. They have captivated the attention of the world, and I know they will use it for the good - maybe even to bring people together. It started off unpleasant, but can end in a dream!

“The Democrats are playing politics with Border Security.” @foxandfriends

Without a Wall our Country can never have Border or National Security. With a powerful Wall or Steel Barrier, Crime Rates (and Drugs) will go substantially down all over the U.S. The Dems know this but want to play political games. Must finally be done correctly. No Cave!

FBI top lawyer confirms “unusual steps.” They relied on the Clinton Campaign’s Fake & Unverified “Dossier,” which is illegal. “That has corrupted them. That has enabled them to gather evidence by UNCONSTITUTIONAL MEANS, and that’s what they did to the President.” Judge Napolitano

Marist/NPR/PBS Poll shows President Trump’s approval rating among Latinos going to 50%, an increase in one year of 19%. Thank you, working hard!

Never seen @senatemajldr and Republicans so united on an issue as they are on the Humanitarian Crisis & Security on our Southern Border. If we create a Wall or Barrier which prevents Criminals and Drugs from flowing into our Country, Crime will go down by record numbers!

Last time I went to Davos, the Fake News said I should not go there. This year, because of the Shutdown, I decided not to go, and the Fake News said I should be there. The fact is that the people understand the media better than the media understands them!

The United States has a great economic story to tell. Number one in the World, by far!

The reason Sarah Sanders does not go to the “podium” much anymore is that the press covers her so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press. I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway! Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!

Former FBI top lawyer James Baker just admitted involvement in FISA Warrant and further admitted there were IRREGULARITIES in the way the Russia probe was handled. They relied heavily on the unverified Trump “Dossier” paid for by the DNC & Clinton Campaign, & funded through a... ... ...big Crooked Hillary law firm, represented by her lawyer Michael Sussmann (do you believe this?) who worked Baker hard & gave him Oppo Research for “a Russia probe.” This meeting, now exposed, is the subject of Senate inquiries and much more. An Unconstitutional Hoax. @FoxNews

As the Shutdown was going on, Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address. I agreed. She then changed her mind because of the Shutdown, suggesting a later date. This is her prerogative - I will do the Address when the Shutdown is over. I am not looking for an.... ... ....alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber. I look forward to giving a “great” State of the Union Address in the near future!

A great new book just out, “Game of Thorns,” by Doug Wead, Presidential Historian and best selling author. The book covers the campaign of 2016, and what could be more exciting than that?

“This is everything FDR dreamed about, the New Deal to put America back to work. Think of LBJ, he gave people food stamps & welfare. Donald Trump’s giving them a job. He’s got a lot of good things to talk about. News stories do not accurately cover him, should correct.” @DougWead

The economy is doing great. More people working in U.S.A. today than at any time in our HISTORY. Media barely covers! @foxandfriends

So interesting that bad lawyer Michael Cohen, who sadly will not be testifying before Congress, is using the lawyer of Crooked Hillary Clinton to represent him - Gee, how did that happen? Remember July 4th weekend when Crooked went before FBI & wasn’t sworn in, no tape, nothing?

The Fake News Media loves saying “so little happened at my first summit with Kim Jong Un.” Wrong! After 40 years of doing nothing with North Korea but being taken to the cleaners, & with a major war ready to start, in a short 15 months, relationships built, hostages & remains.... ... ...back home where they belong, no more Rockets or M’s being fired over Japan or anywhere else and, most importantly, no Nuclear Testing. This is more than has ever been accomplished with North Korea, and the Fake News knows it. I expect another good meeting soon, much potential!

Without a Wall there cannot be safety and security at the Border or for the U.S.A. BUILD THE WALL AND CRIME WILL FALL!

Nancy just said she “just doesn’t understand why?” Very simply, without a Wall it all doesn’t work. Our Country has a chance to greatly reduce Crime, Human Trafficking, Gangs and Drugs. Should have been done for decades. We will not Cave!

Great earnings coming out of Stock Market. Too bad Media doesn’t devote much time to this!

“I like the fact that the President is making the case (Border Security & Crime) to the American people. Now we know where Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer & the Democrats stand, which is no Border Security. Will be big 2020 issue.” Matt Schlapp, Chair, ACU. Bigger than anyone knows!

21 days goes very quickly. Negotiations with Democrats will start immediately. Will not be easy to make a deal, both parties very dug in. The case for National Security has been greatly enhanced by what has been happening at the Border & through dialogue. We will build the Wall!

We have turned away, at great expense, two major Caravans, but a big one has now formed and is coming. At least 8000 people! If we had a powerful Wall, they wouldn’t even try to make the long and dangerous journey. Build the Wall and Crime will Fall!

Thank you to the Republican National Committee, (the RNC), who voted UNANIMOUSLY yesterday to support me in the upcoming 2020 Election. Considering that we have done more than any Administration in the first two years, this should be easy. More great things now in the works!

“We absolutely need a physical barrier or Wall, whatever you want to call it. The President yesterday laid all that out. We need to do it all, including the Wall. I provided the same information to the previous administration, & it was ignored.” Mark Morgan, Border Chief for “O”!

HAPPY SATURDAY PATRIOTS!Welcome to your weekly Presidential Recap! This is u/Ivaginaryfriend here and I'm back to deliver all things dank and spicy from the past week. For those that missed any past recaps you can check those out here!Now onto the show!Sunday, January 20th:TODAY'S ACTION:2 Years of Accomplishments🔥🔥TRUMP TWEETS🔥🔥:Always heard that as President, “it’s all about the economy!” Well, we have one of the best economies in the history of our Country. Big GDP, lowest unemployment, companies coming back to the U.S. in BIG numbers, great new trade deals happening, & more. But LITTLE media mention!Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!Nancy Pelosi and some of the Democrats turned down my offer yesterday before I even got up to speak. They don’t see crime & drugs, they only see 2020 - which they are not going to win. Best economy! They should do the right thing for the Country & allow people to go back to work.No, Amnesty is not a part of my offer. It is a 3 year extension of DACA. Amnesty will be used only on a much bigger deal, whether on immigration or something else. Likewise there will be no big push to remove the 11,000,000 plus people who are here illegally-but be careful Nancy!Nancy Pelosi has behaved so irrationally & has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a Radical Democrat. She is so petrified of the “lefties” in her party that she has lost control...And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!Nancy, I am still thinking about the State of the Union speech, there are so many options - including doing it as per your written offer (made during the Shutdown, security is no problem), and my written acceptance. While a contract is a contract, I’ll get back to you soon!Wow, just heard that my poll numbers with Hispanics has gone up 19%, to 50%. That is because they know the Border issue better than anyone, and they want Security, which can only be gotten with a Wall.Don’t forget, we are building and renovating big sections of Wall right now. Moving quickly, and will cost far less than previous politicians thought possible. Building, after all, is what I do best, even when money is not readily available!Thank you David!The Media is not giving us credit for the tremendous progress we have made with North Korea.
