The Top Climbing Shoes 2024

When it comes to climbing, having the right shoes can make all the difference. In 2024, the market has introduced some exceptional climbing shoes designed to enhance performance, comfort, and durability. With insights from our resident TDP climber, Quinn Skinner, here are the top climbing shoes of 2024, featuring the latest advancements in climbing footwear technology. 1. La Sportiva Solution…

i know the given reason why we never get Richard's last name is because the narrative is meant to resemble religious stories where people are only referred to by one name, but given the fact that his whole character motivation revolves around family and his identity issues, it feels deeper than that.

like, we know Carpenter was formerly Mallory Glass from very early in, and by season two, Paige is Paige Duplass and Hayward is James Hayward. crucially, this is because people know them. there's still people within the church who know Carpenter's last name and family linage, like Mason. and Paige has coworkers, as does Hayward.

but Richard isn't close with anyone who'd feel the need to use his last name. his brother and his father never have a reason to, and he has no connections to anyone besides them that know him as Richard and not Faulkner.

it just feels like a metaphor for how he's become disconnected to his family despite his longing for that kind of love. Carpenter has actively chosen to abandon her family name out of shame, so her lack of last name is intentional. Paige Duplass has her struggles with her father, but still comes to him for help and still writes his name in remembrance in the finale. James Hayward has his mother in his thoughts all the way into the final season, and we hear how she set him on the course he's on.

but Richard's last name is never known to us. and, in a way, it feels like the process of Richard being slowly consumed by Faulkner has taken his last name from him. his attempts to become this ideal self have turned him into something alien, and now he's lost what he truly longs for - his family's love. and, because he cannot have them, he can no longer have his last name, that final anchor.

"what if Chuuya joined the Armed Detective Agency with Dazai?"

My version of an AU where Chuuya left the mafia "with" Dazai and joined the ADA "with" Dazai and Taneda thinks he's hilarious (he's right)

I’ve had this picture saved on my phone for literal months and I cannot for the life of me remember when and why I saw it but it needed to be made into Double Black so I did it

Dazai trying to pretend to be a nobody who knows nothing so his new colleague won't be too suspicious of him during his entrance exam is hilarious

Little thing I did for @videogamelover99's Chuuya leaving the PM with Dazai AU!

Enjoy the boys during their 2 years in hiding, driving around Russia (and missing their stupid exit)

mm I just tried Genshin impact for the first time and like. I think its fine its just not really for me tbh. I didnt know anything about it before hand. like the thing that i liked most about Genshin was running around collecting food and shit... but other than that I just found it kind of boring and like I was being talked down on. I was going to play it on stream (and maybe one day I still will) but i'm not fully sure if its the game that I want to play.

Like the characters I found... mostly uninteresting, ive never been too into elemental gameplay systems and I think that the majority of combat is... really dull and repetative. theres no sneak button either! I was really looking forwards to the cooking mechanic (for.. some reason. I think i just like gathering the materials for it) But the actual crafting mechanic is also really boring with zero surprise in what you might make.

While and after playing I felt like everything around me was overly smooth and baby-like. I got the urge to watch a thriller movie just to find some stakes in whatever after. (I don't usually watch those ever). I felt like my own actions had no imapct on anything, I wasnt really 'discovering' anything like new weapons or recipes since when you open the cooking menu, everythings already there with the masterials you have, and the "minigame" is useless and just a 1 click timing. It didnt really feel like anything I did had any consequence on anything (Although this may have just been a tutorial stage thing) The characters were like. fine. Theyre pretty but that also makes them dull. It feels like the game is trying to force me to love them and get more and more and I just. dont care tbh

Anyway, none of these are actual drags on the game itself. I still think its like a fine game and its certainly very pretty, so it could work as a de-stressor or whatever for me. I just think I own other games that I enjoy a bit more

Much to be said about this novel. It almost had a good ending, but like many horror movies of today, Ararat lost its cool at the end.

The book details the discovery of a ship in an impossible place. Narrative follows a large team of researchers, archaeologists, professors, and a documentary team all working together in the hopes of unwrapping the mystery of the ship.

Unfortunately, the characters feel very one dimensional and take their sweet time becoming likable. Not to mention with such a large swath of characters, it can get confusing. Some characters use last names and some use the first, and they are all interchangeable. I felt like I had to write it all down just to understand dialogue.

The book did have its positives, however! The scares cooked and simmered, and when things finally set off, I found myself voraciously devouring the story. There were elements of body horror and demonology and religious themes.

All in all, I would recommend this book if you see it at a library and are looking to expand your vocabulary. There were many fancy words that gave me joy to read and find context clues. The best place to read this is at home, in the cold and wet month of October.

I feel a lot of feelings at the end of the year. Fortunately I've been busy enough lately not to stew too hard, but sometimes they sneak up on me when I'm not expecting it and it really hurts.

I'm going to do my best to be kind to myself and be proud of making it through this year no matter how much I've accomplished. 💜

Snowflake Book Review’s

Title: Dogwoods Treasure #3 Raven's Climb

Author: Tiffany Casper

Pages: 158

Snowflake Rating:❄❄❄❄(4/5)

Synopsis:

I wasn’t one of those girls that just rolled over and got over something. No, I could hold a mean grudge, and that was what I had been doing for going on seven years. And I didn’t see that stopping any time soon.

Why oh why in all of the hospitals in all of the United States, had this job been the only one available for me to take?

Seven years ago something vile and despicable had ruined me. I was never the same woman after that night. And now, here I was, seven years later back in the town that I hated. I hated the people that lived here. Well, that wasn’t the truth, no I just hated one person that lived here and if I could continue to never see his face again, that would be perfect for me.

However, things we want don’t always happen.

No, sometimes things go to hell and a handbasket within the span of thirty seconds.

Only that wasn’t the case. No, it was far from it.

Seven years ago, Cam had made a decision to trust a lying cheating whore. That was his mistake. Not mine. My only mistake in life was running away and not paying attention to my surroundings.

However, I can’t say that I had made a mistake because what I was left within that aftermath was my greatest treasure. My divine gift.

Would Cam try his hardest to get me to forgive him? Or would he simply give up and walk away again?

Fall (2022)

For best friends Becky and Hunter, life is all about conquering fears and pushing limits. However, after they climb 2,000 feet to the top of a remote, abandoned radio tower, they find themselves stranded with no way down. Now, their expert climbing skills are put to the ultimate test as they desperately fight to survive the elements, a lack of supplies, and vertigo-inducing heights.

📝Woah! This is a really tense and fresh take on the "on the edge of your seat" type of film. I don't suffer from vertigo, but it also made me feel very tense!! It's a great story. They start with a little bit of backstory but then it's straight into the action. It builds well. The two leads are excellent. Also Virginia Gardener is a doppelganger of Reese Witherspoon! I had to Google her because I thought she was her daughter! She looks exactly like her and especially circa Cruel Intentions. 

I loved this film because I was looking for something like this, a tense thriller and it delivered. Kudos to the team behind it. Also I think I will stick to climbing at my local gym :-) Check it out for that thrilling experience!

Fall - 2022

NOT SAFE - A,V•

Approx. 1:23:55 - 1:24:02 •A,V• Becky climbs to charge the drone. When she climbs back down, she says "why didn't you catch the bag" and then she v*. Audio and body language only. You do see her face but see nothing come out due to the camera angle.

*** Blood can be seen on and around mouth throughout movie.***
