Azul's Character Development In White Day Letters

White Day 2022 letters just got released today, and I'm losing my marbles. I'm losing my fucking marbles over Ashengrotto as we speak I'm really awed by how much attention they put into the fact that these characters developed. Letters of those like Sebek and Silver still reflect that they haven't gone through complete change because their time to shine has yet to come, but there are those characters whose letters reflect how much they changed. Azul is one of them.

alternate title: I' m goign insane and I need ato find a way to channel m yinsanity right fucking now liek ?? /?// /? /?? / pain PAIN PAIN PAINNNNNNNNNNN

Just a disclaimer that the 2022 White Day letters literally just came out today, and this post will have Azul's 2022 letter completely, so if you don't want to see it yet, please scroll through this post. Anyway, this will be under a cut.

. it's clown time .

So here's Azul's 2022 White Day letter. I'm typing out the contents because some people wish for the images of their letters to not be spread.

My boon companion— What a lovely gift this is. Thank you kindly. If you're ever in need of anything, don't be afraid to reach out. And just to be clear, that's not in return for the gift—after all, I've accepted this as a token of your sentiment. That said, I'm willing to take it somewhat into account with any future bargains we might make.

fucking boon companion what the fuc k what the khfk c fuck he's so embaraasign but he' s so fdork dork y SODFNS DORK DORK DORK FUCK WHAT HTE FUCK ad and adn the the if you're in need of anythig don't e afarid to reach OU FUCK FUCKFUKC myd is keyboard is bereaking as we speak SLAPS SELF

Now okay, from the first word, you can already tell that Azul is a lot more sincere in this letter than the last. To compare, here's Azul's 2021 White Day letter.

My dear friend, Thank you so very much for this absolutely wonderful present. I am positively overjoyed to receive such an affectionate gift. When you have the time, please do drop by the Mostro Lounge. Present the enclosed card at the door and you can enjoy a complimentary drink on me.

Now when I mean first word, I don’t mean the way he addresses you but the first two sentences.

2021 letter opens up with: Thank you so very much for this absolutely wonderful present. I am positively overjoyed to receive such an affectionate gift.

2022 letter, on the other hand, opens up with: What a lovely gift this is. Thank you kindly.

The opening sentence of the 2021 letter has the charm dialed up. You can practically taste the sickening sweetness in those words. You especially see this in the phrases “thank you so very much”, “absolutely wonderful present”, “positively overjoyed”, and “receive such an affectionate gift”. In those phrases, Azul used quite a number of unnecessary words. It ends up giving off the impression similar to someone wearing too many accessories in their outfit in an attempt to look ‘charming’. It results in him sounding fake around you just to impress or make you happy, which can also result in you questioning whether he did like the gift or not. It also gives off a kind of haughtiness, especially in the thank you portion (though that could also be the way I imagine him saying it in my head. I always hear him going “thank you oh so much” just from reading that).

But the 2022 letter opens up with something more concise yet sincere. It still has that Azul charm™️, especially with the way he phrases the first sentence. He goes “what a lovely gift this is”, which could have also been phrased as “your gift is lovely” or “the gift you gave was lovely”, sentences that technically convey the same message, but the last two don’t have Azul’s voice, aka it doesn’t match his character as well. However, it’s not dolled up in unnecessary words. He found your gift lovely, plain and simple. And even in the way he says thank you, it’s not excessive. It’s a simple “thank you”. There’s no thought to be fake to impress, he’s expressing his thoughts with no unnecessary words. He likes your gift, and he actually means it.

Moving on to the next part, this is the part where Azul's character development really shines.

In the 2021 letter, Azul says:

When you have the time, please do drop by the Mostro Lounge. Present the enclosed card at the door and you can enjoy a complimentary drink on me.

While in the 2022 letter, Azul says:

If you're ever in need of anything, don't be afraid to reach out. And just to be clear, that's not in return for the gift—after all, I've accepted this as a token of your sentiment. That said, I'm willing to take it somewhat into account with any future bargains we might make.

ouggoohfuoohoghfugo 🤡🤡🤡 fhsdkhgkjsdh ouonga oboboonga fuck fkcufkcfukc "if you're ever in need of anything, don't be afraid to reach out" has to be the sexiest line I'd ever have to hear huuuoUUHGH BRICKED

Azul has the mindset where he thinks people are always out to get what they want. They do favors for people or give others gifts to get something in return. Kindness for the sake of it is not a concept that he entertains. It's why he always tries to "return the favor", as he thinks that he'd be indebted to someone if they do something good for him. You can especially see how his mindset on this works in his PE vignette.

Jamil: Then we'll stick to the basics. There's a trick to it, all right? Set your broom on the ground first. Azul: What do you want? Jamil: What? Azul: I'm sure you aren't teaching me that trick for free. The world doesn't work that way. So? What do you want? Jamil: It's not like I was offering. The coach told me to do it, so I'm doing it. Azul: So you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart? You truly want nothing? As if I could buy such a blatant lie. I have no wish to be in debt to you. I can only imagine what ridiculous demand you'll make of me when this is over! [PE Azul vignette, EN]

In the 2021 letter, that mindset can be seen when he tells you that you can enjoy a complimentary drink on him, aka you can enjoy a free drink from the Mostro Lounge. You gave him a gift, so in return, he'll give you a free beverage. He doesn't even hesitate or ask you if you want it. Azul just offers it to you because he doesn't want to be indebted to you.

But in the 2022 letter, Azul lets you know that you can reach out to him for help, and he adds that it isn't in return for your gift. In fact, he says, and I'm going to put in quotes because this needs to be emphasized: "After all, I've accepted this as a token of your sentiment." He recognizes that what you gave him is a damn gift and one given out of thought and not given out of expectation. He's one step closer to learning that not everyone's out to get what they want even if at the expense of others. It's not like Azul totally changed either. He still adds that he's still going to think about your gift to him in possible deals, so he still has that mindset to pay what you're owed. And that's good character development because yes, he's going through change, yes, he's growing, but that change doesn't mean that he's gonna be a totally different person. It's like how real people act. There will be experiences we go through that will make us reflect on ourselves and see what we can do to improve, but we're not gonna do a sudden 180. A large part of our personality will still remain the same.

Now finally, let's talk about the way Azul addresses you. "My dear friend" versus "My boon companion".

I'm gonna be honest here, the first time I saw "my boon companion", I experienced a lot of second-hand embarrassment. LIKE .. this is definitely a me thing, but 'boon' is Not a pretty word in my eyes and it sounds goofy almost. I even thought of the words 'boom' (as in, boom in business) and 'tycoon'. 😭 Don't get me wrong, it's still is pretty goofy, and I still get a bit embarrassed, BUT LET ME EXPLAIN WHY I'M NOW IN FUCKING SHAMBLES OVER THE DAMN BOON COMPANION

I will always love how Azul calls you 'my dear friend'. Azul calling you 'my dear' is one of my biggest weaknesses, and just thinking of 'friend' as a placeholder for your name really got me simping hard. LIKE... LIKE COME ON, IT'S SUCH A CLASSY PET NAME THAT'S ALSO SO TENDER AND INTIMATE, AND URSULA CANONICALLY SAYS "my dear sweet child" TO ARIEL IN LITTLE MERMAID, SO IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE FOR AZUL TO CALL YOU "MY DEAR".

But there is a certain distance to "my dear friend". Like yes, it's such a sweet way to address you, but that's the thing. It's sweet, and when you pair that with how caked up the rest of his message is, it does come off as fake as well.

Now boon companion. It sounds embarrassing... BUT. It's so dorky. And in a good way. It's like Azul is trying to refer to you as a best friend or bosom buddy without being so on the nose about it, so he tries to find some other fancy way to convey that same meaning. Probably tried to act cool, failed, but it's still really cute and you can't hate him for it 😭

But here's the best part. If you look up the meaning of boon, it essentially means a timely blessing. So if you look at "my boon companion" again, Azul is calling you a blessed companion. He's calling you a person that he's grateful to have in his life. He's calling you a blessing. And there's nothing faked in here or what. You've been a good friend to him that he's so grateful for. It’s one thing to be called a dear friend. But it’s another to be called a friend that someone is grateful for.

In conclusion, Azul stans we fucking won this year 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

ALRIGHT BISCUITS IMMA TALK BOUT MY OCS AND DESIGN STUFF AND COLORS THAT ONLY I NOTICE BUT NOW Y O U SHALL NOW ALSO NOTICE!!!!! FRUIT DADS EDITION!!!!! (Sorry I took so long 😭)

So the fruit dads (Blondee, Goose, Ozzie, Max, & August) actually have a rainbow color scheme when they’re together!! Blondee is Red, Ozzie is Orange, August is Yellow, Goose is Green, [REDACTED] is Blue/Indigo, and Max is Purple/Violet! :> why no I totally did not just mention a character that’s important off-handedly

The colors go even MORE in depth than that (kinda lol)!!! Blondee and Goose are colored complimentary to eachother!! Same with Ozzie and Max!! (Love me some good complimentary coloration) August’s boyfriends are k i n d a colored complimentary, Pinot is the only one that is REALLY colored with that in mind (purple and yellow my guys)

Okay so now with visuals I’ll be able to talk more about features and shit

Blondee’s hair falls while Goose’s sticks up. Max’s hair falls while Ozzie’s stays up (complimentary design choices y’all)

Blondee has a prominent bottom lip and Goose has a prominent top lip (good for kissing-). Blondee has white around his mouth and Goose has white around his eyes

Max has the most colorful eyes meanwhile Ozzie has the most plain eyes ever

I also got things that aren’t couple related but involve the whole group!!

They ALL are drawn with a red/red adjacent eyeshadow!!! They all also have the same shade as nail polish :>

They all have “happy” or upturned eyes (what? Blondee doesn’t? Well he might not NOW but if u look at that one doodle of him as a high schooler, you’ll see he did! And who knows, maybe that was a conscious design choice of mine that’s hinting at smth ;> )

Imma focus a lil more on characterization stuff real quick because this post isn’t long enough-

Blondee’s baby mama left him and Pearl when she was a newborn & and Goose’s partner kinda, d i e d, so they understand each other as single dads

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this but Blondee eats, A LOT, he’s got a high metabolism and he’s got a dad bod so that just shows the extent at which he stuffs his face on a daily basis lmao

SPEAKING OF DAD BODS: Goose has a paunch belly that is only accentuated by the fact he stands like a question mark. Ozzie has a bit of thickness to him. August is pretty slim but has, um, some thigh lol. Max is fucking HUGE. Period

Goose and Max often stand with lil rat hands (well I guess for Goose it’s BIG rat hands)

I know I’ve never mentioned this before now but Ozzie is Vietnamese/white & Max is Japanese!! (I know you can’t tell because they’re not human wah)

Goose and his daughter live in a trailer park!

Umm,,, I think that’s all my brain can remember rn aha

Winged!Techno HCs because special interests meet hyperfixations go brrr

-He's the kind of person to preen twice every day, but then occasionally genuinely forget to for like a week at a time, up until he goes to do something difficult and is suddenly like "...ah,,"

-His wings are naturally reddish brown, so in the right lighting and humidity they can look like they're just drenched in blood. (this scares the shit out of people every time they first see it, except for like this one time that the person's reaction was just a very tired "pls, don't use blood to dye your wings" from someone very sleep deprived who didn't really notice who they were talking to

-Because of this interaction, he'll now dye the tips of his wings pink (using proper materials for it of course) for special occasions, with little strips of his loved ones' favorite colors hiding in the under-layers

(here is where I abruptly remembered that I could use neopronouns for Techno, pog)

-When anarch needs to be subtler, or just plain is too tired to put much effort into it, blood will use some of anarch's older molted feathers that have been dyed in order to show which pronouns blood is using at that point.

-Tommy has been known to steal the pogself ones (and pog one time replaced them with chicken feathers. let's just say that this was very much a one time thing)

-Their family has a tradition of braiding feathers into each others hair during preening circles. They preen each others wings, and when one is done they grab some dyed ones from a big bowl and start braiding them in

-When Wil does Techno's, blood usually ends up with a crown of gold and silver feathers, with little downy red ones very carefully hidden between them

-When Tommy's the one doing it, fuck gives anarch a mane of colors, red, yellow, green, blue, and pink all trailing off of him like sparks

-When Phil does it, he usually does just one big loose braid with a few feathers tucked in, all of them dyed in complimentary colors

-Ranboo

(dang this got long ahsvavag)

Yes yes yes yes yes y e s!!

#im not sure if the -ranboo was a from ranboo or a point that didnt get finished but like #i love this v v much ty suroh #enbyctechno #wingedctechno

who takes all the free things (shampoo, soap, shower caps) from the hotel: miriam would want to as they are a pretty cheap person and likes to save money but could never bring them self to steal. so then finley would cuz she would see that miriam wants them and then the redhead would probably get mad and tell finley that she shouldn’t steal things but secretly but glad that she did.

do they go on more adventure type vacations or somewhere they can relax: adventures. miriam hates beach type vacations and would much rather go exploring.

who takes pictures of every single thing: miriam for sure. much to a pouting finley.

who is the first to try the local cuisine: even though miriam is usually the one to try new things when it comes to food, this goes to finley as miriam is very plain with the things they eat.

who forgets to put on sun screen and gets burned to a crisp: finley cause finley is most likely to forget about anything that there is to forget about. sorry, not sorry for throwing finley under the bus.

who uses packing/vacation checklists and who just wings it: finley. and it drives miriam crazy everytime!

who says “i want to go back” the moment they get back home: finley. miriam has more of the adventure spirit and is usually the one with the let’s go do this random thing than finley. tho it would seem in their relationship it would be finley.

Lakeland

alright guys, it’s time for my first post ever. basically i wrote this story because i live in a town with needlessly strict parking laws and i wondered, “why?”

4772 words and some are good. enjoy.

***

“Hey, Smitt. Come look at this.”

Mr. Walter Smitt did not want to see whatever his campaign manager, Councilman Daniel Armstrong, was talking about. It was a hot day, and there was a rally that afternoon, and Smitt wanted nothing more than to return to his thirsty viewing of the local news. But nothing seemed to be newsworthy that day except for a local accounting firm burning down, which would have no effect on the mayoral race apart from warranting the obligatory sympathetic tweet. Smitt, therefore, decided to go see Armstrong in the break room, but he elected to shamble through the door so as to convey to Armstrong that he was burdened by this demand.

“Oh, Smitt. Look at this.”

Armstrong, a man of about 5 feet 11 inches, was looking at the dining table, on which sat a piece of bread and a tub of butter. He wore an expression of brooding that rearranged his facial features into a configuration Smitt rarely saw.

“You want me to look at the table?” “No, the butter.” With this, Armstrong emphatically picked up the tub of butter and thrust it at Smitt. “See?”

“What?” But Smitt did not receive an answer: Armstrong simply smiled like a dog who suspected his owner had treats. Smitt laboriously raised his right eyebrow.

“Look at the brand,” said Armstrong as though watching Smitt unwrap a Christmas present “The brand name.”

Smitt squinted as dramatically as humanly possible and read the dish. “Land ‘O Lakes?”

“Yeah! Like the town! Lakeland!”

“Oh!” The town was, in fact, called Lakeland. Smitt, the mayoral front-runner, felt slightly ashamed for not noticing this buttery coincidence until now. “Oh. Very funny, Armstrong. I was in the middle of analyzing important data when you interrupted me.” “Analyzing important data” meant watching the news.

“Sorry,” Armstrong said. He clutched the butter tub in his hand for a moment, then got up from his seat and held it poignantly as though he was Hamlet and Smitt was Horatio. “You know, Lakeland is a lot like butter.”

Smitt’s face fell, because he realized he would now have to ask why Lakeland was like butter. He clenched his fist and asked, “Why is Lakeland like butter?”

Elated, Armstrong began to wax what to him was poetry. “Because it’s all, like, flat and the same, and it tastes kinda salty.” He paused, for dramatic effect. “But it looks tasty.” Sated, he punctuated his soliloquy by setting the butter dish down. It made a loud clack.

This is why I’m the candidate and you’re the manager, Smitt thought. As he walked back to his office, he continued to ponder his friend’s intellectual capacity. But he knew, despite his scorn for Armstrong’s less-than-ideal conversational ability, that Armstrong was not wrong. Lakeland was absolutely, like, flat and the same. Its biggest and only hill was in its cultural epicenter, Turmeric Park, which had a great stage atop a large mound of grassy land. The houses of Lakeland looked almost as though someone had copy-and-pasted them in great lines with some magical computer. There was a lot of grass, and where there was not grass, there was sidewalk, and where there was neither, there was road or dirt. It was not a town that any up-and-coming young professional would choose to migrate to (Smitt placed remarks like this in his “Things to say in the company of only private donors” vernacular).

But the winds of change were coming to Lakeland and its population of 10,000. Signs were sprouting up in yards just like the flowers of Spring, and the signs sent many different messages at first, but now they were down to just two. Occupying the South and West sides of town were blue signs adorned with graphics of buildings and the message “VOTE November 6th Walter E. Smitt For A Better Lakeland!” On the North side of town, you would be more likely to see plain maroon signs with one white star at the top, with text saying “RE-ELECT Mayor Elliott Madison!” There was one such sign in a large flower-pot outside the accounting firm that Smitt was currently watching burn down on TV. He tried to catch a glimpse of the sign past the reporter who was currently blocking it, and saw one red corner, which suggested, much to his chagrin, that the blaze had not taken the sign.

The door opened. Smitt instinctively turned off the TV, hoping that the visitor would not discover his newfound schadenfreude for Richter and Sons’ Accounting firm. He was relieved to see that Armstrong, a man well-trained in the political art of not morally analyzing one’s boss, was standing in the doorway.

“Smitt, your rally’s in, like, an hour. Do you want to get going?” asked Armstrong.

“Yes. Yeah. Whose turn is it to drive?”

“I think it’s yours. I drove to the breakfast.” Smitt stared blankly. “With the union leaders.”

“Oh. Right. Ugh. It’s too hot. The van’s probably an oven right now and it’s too hot to drive.” Smitt’s official campaign vehicle did not have an air conditioning unit.

“Well, I guess I can drive to the rally and you can drive back,” Armstrong offered.

“Ok. But make sure you pick me up at Cedar & Chapel instead of the park. The voters don’t need to see the van.”

Armstrong looked solemnly in the direction of the parking lot. “Right.”

---

“We’re expecting a crowd of about 150 people today,” said Armstrong, nonchalantly reading emails from his phone as he drove.

Smitt smiled. “That’s one of the highest turnouts all year! I’d like to see old Madison compete with that. ...By the way, what’s Madison up to today?” “Dunno. I don’t think he’s, like, holding any rallies. Guy’s been mayor for so long, he probably thinks he’s got this in the bag already.” “If it weren’t for his army of churchgoing, wine-guzzling, high-horsing ‘community activists,’ he’d have been defeated a long time ago.” This remark, Smitt knew, squarely occupied his “campaign-ending gaffe” vernacular and should never be repeated in public under any circumstances. He scanned the van for recording devices just in case, but found none.

The two men took side streets to avoid being spotted, and pulled up behind the stage area in Turmeric Park. Armstrong looked at Smitt and nodded. “Go out there and give ‘em hell, Smitt. Remember to mention the parking situation. And give Madison a few knocks for me.”

“Right,” said Smitt. Armstrong gave him a firm pat on the arm, and with that, Smitt exited the van and made his way to the stage.

---

There was already a sizable crowd gathered. Some of them were holding signs that said things like “SMITT FOR LAKELAND” and “MADISON IS MAD, SON!” The latter slogan was one of Armstrong’s design.

Smitt could hear the crowd murmuring what he imagined were very complimentary things. The murmurs grew louder as he approached the steps to the stage, and then suddenly fell silent as he scaled them. Finally, when Smitt took the stage, the crowd’s voices grew to a mighty roar of pure zeal. Smitt beamed from ear to ear, raised his right hand, and gave an unassuming wave-- and with that one little movement, he immediately asserted his dominance over the crowd and guaranteed their consent, all while appearing as relatable as a 49-year-old businessman-turned-politician possibly could. “Thank you!” he said. It was like flamboyantly tuning an instrument before a concert. “Thank you!” This was the best part of Smitt’s job.

Smitt was not a natural-born politician. Though he would scarcely admit it to anyone whose last name was not Armstrong, he could not understand the people of Lakeland in the way that they understood each other. Lakelanders, as they were known, were a simple and quite homogenous people. They said a lot of words, but most of their communication was nonverbal and carried itself through ritual rather than rhetoric. They attended church every Sunday at one of Lakeland’s many churches, after which they would stop at one of Lakeland’s many restaurants for one of Lakeland’s many sandwiches. They travelled in packs of 3-8, depending on how many kids and/or friends they had, and fancied themselves quite intellectual and cultured but not to the extent that they ever mentioned this.

Smitt was not a religious person. He did believe that there was an omnipotent force that was currently guiding him, and only him, to become mayor of Lakeland, but this belief, if he ever expressed it out loud, was nothing short of a “campaign-ending gaffe.” He fancied himself an entrepreneur, who had recently moved back to his hometown of Lakeland after completing his MBA in order to found an advertising firm. When he travelled, it was in packs of 1-2, as he did not have a family and preferred to keep his friends far away. He never truly considered himself a Lakelander, though he had grown up there. And when he looked out at the adoring crowd before them, it was with a sharp twinge of sympathy, a sharper twinge of disdain, and a twinge of appreciation that was not particularly sharp.

But Smitt had a trick up his sleeve. He knew how to play his audience like the church organs they heard weekly. He understood, as much as any Lakelander, one of the fundamental problems with the town, and was ready to convince 150 average joes that he alone could fix it.

“Hey, Lakeland!” he said, which was as much a greeting as it was a statement. “Who’s ready for a change?!”

The crowd applauded sufficiently to indicate that it was, in fact, ready for a change.

“Yeah. Yeah! That’s what I like to hear!” Smitt liked to use crowd-pleasers he remembered from Monday Night Wrestling. “A year ago, when I first launched this campaign in Turmeric Park, I never thought we’d get this far. Now look at us!” More applause. “We’re still in Turmeric Park, but there’s more people!”

One more emotional appeal, Smitt thought. Then the big segue.

“This town is the greatest town in Upper West Perry County, Indiana, and we’re going to reclaim its former greatness together!”

A few seconds more of applause. The bait was now on the rod. Now to cast.

“You know…” The applause died down. “You know, I was just being driven here by my, uh, chauffeur, in our campaignmobile, when I ran into a bit of an issue.”

Smitt was dangling the rod now, almost taunting his crowd. He could feel the pressure build up, and it was exhilarating. He could barely move his hand, but ran it through his hair just to prove to himself that he could.

“Yeah? You all know what I’m talking about?” A quiet, low roar began to build up. “That’s right. That’s right. We couldn’t find a damn place to park!”

It was like someone had just set off a bomb. The crowd was sent into hysterics. I bet the guys at Richter and Sons’ Accounting Firm can hear us now, Smitt thought. And rightfully so. Smitt had just touched upon the single greatest grievance one could have with Lakeland: The parking.

“The streets were wide open, sure. Tons of places to park. Tons of places! But guess what the sign says? Guess. Guess.” Smitt knew, of course, that his constituents were physically too far away from him to hear their guesses, but he enjoyed riling them up all the same.

“‘No parking between 12AM-8PM. That’s right, 12AM-8PM! I guess you have to pay a fine or get your car towed or something if you dare to commit the grave offense of parking there.”

Smitt paused for a round of applause from the crowd of revolutionaries, then continued.

“And it’s not just limited to the street behind the park. We can’t park in front of our houses. We can’t park in front of our houses! I have to move my car two streets down-- and even then, you can’t keep it there for more than 8 hours or guess what, it gets towed and you’re paying for it!

“Now, my good friend Elliott Madison seems to think he can take advantage of our money, our cars, even our schedules. He’s been in the mayor’s office longer than some of us have been alive. But today, we’re telling him that he’s wrong. He does not own us. He does not own our houses, our cars, our families, or our lives, and on the 15th, we’re going to show him what we’re all about.

“We are not about taxes. We are not about inconvenience. We are about freedom-- especially when it comes to parking.”

Smitt beamed from ear to ear and took a few steps back, watching the movement he had created. Not all Lakelanders were the same bible-thumping populace. Some were too young to know what church was, some were too old to know what church was, and some did not go. But all Lakelanders were united in their hatred for the town’s parking policies, which were simply nonsensical. For instance, on some streets you could only park from 8-10 AM, while on others, there was no parking from 2-6:30 PM and 7-11 PM but anytime else was fair game, and these were just scratching the surface. Not only were the laws ridiculous, but the punishments were even worse. At best, you’d get a ticket; at worst, your car would be towed and you would get a ticket on top of that. If there was one good thing you could say about Mayor Madison, Armstrong always mused, it was that he enforced the law like no one else. One could get away with a little shoplifting here and there, and the police would almost certainly let you off for going a couple miles over the speed limit. But failure to comply with parking rules for more than a few minutes at the time would result in certain punishment. Madison had created a special task force charged with patrolling the streets for illegal parking, and punishing the offenders to the fullest extent of the law. Almost any Lakelander has had the experience of watching a siren-equipped tow truck go barreling down the street in search of the next unfortunate victim’s car, and merely shaking their head with a solemn sort of empathy. The townspeople wanted the quintessential essence of life in small-town Middle America: To do whatever the hell you want without the government in your way. Yet they re-elected Madison so many times that some say he was actually born in office, and lived out his entire life as mayor. And well before Smitt came on the scene, it was customary in Lakeland to, whenever running over a pothole, seeing litter in the parks, or receiving one of the aforementioned parking tickets, turn to the person most immediately close to you, sigh, and say “Madison.” They re-elected him not because they liked him as a person (most had never seen him), or because they agreed with his policy stances (which were mostly unknown).

Madison was simply the status quo, and his status as a punching bag had become something of a cornerstone for the community. It had been generations since they had truly felt outrage or anything more than mere annoyance at Madison’s governing, and since no one had ever come along to oppose him, he never faced the serious possibility of not winning re-election. Smitt, however, was not afraid to stir the pot, to remind the Lakelanders, for motives selfish or not, that just because it is the status quo does not mean it is good, or that it cannot change. And he continued to remind them of this, through several more rallies and a televised debate, until it was finally election night in Lakeland.

Smitt had moved the TV from his office to the break room, where he was now pacing back and forth in front of Armstrong, who was calmly watching the results come in.

“Smitt.”

“Mm,” said Smitt, who was squeezing the leg of his pants.

“You nervous?”

“No.” Smitt opened and closed the refrigerator door a few times. He was not hungry.

“Good. ‘Cause we’re gonna win. You know that.”

“Yeah. Yeah we are.”

Suddenly, the office buzzer rang loudly. Startled, Smitt jumped, banged his head on the ceiling, and shouted in pain. Armstrong looked at him quizzically as he stumbled around the room and rubbed his head.

“Smitt, I think someone’s here.”

“You think?” Smitt growled. “Go open the door. Tell whoever’s there that they can go screw themselves. I don’t want visitors right now.”

“What’s the magic word?” “Now.”

Armstrong left the room, feeling slightly emasculated. Smitt sighed, closed his eyes, and listened as Armstrong’s footsteps made their way across the office space and towards the door. He heard the door creak open, and a quiet yet urgent voice on the other end.

“Hello, sir. I need to speak to Walter Smitt.”

“Sorry. He gave me specific orders to tell anyone who comes here to go--”

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.” Smitt sprung into action and ran to the door. “There’s no need to finish that sentence.” He found Armstrong towering over a short, portly man with tan skin and a tuft of white hair on his head.

“Sorry, Smitt. This guy just seemed a little troublesome, so--”

“Armstrong, that guy is the mayor.”

“Oh.” Armstrong sized the man up and took a step back. “Crap. Sorry.”

There was a moment of tension between the three men. Armstrong refused to meet Madison’s eyes, Madison was looking straight into Armstrong’s eyes, and Smitt was trying to listen to the TV in the break room. Finally, Smitt decided to break the ice. “Hello, Mr. Mayor,” he offered, and extended his hand.

“Good evening, Mr. Smitt,” replied Madison. The two shook hands, each man crushing the other’s hand so much that they could not feel their own hands. This practice was customary between Smitt and Madison; Smitt had won 7 out of the approximately 13 of these exchanges they had gotten into over the course of the race.

Madison brushed his jacket impatiently and adjusted his tie. “I’ll keep this brief, Mr. Smitt, as I imagine you’re something of a busy man yourself. You are aware that the election is tonight, yes?”

“Oh, yeah. That. I forgot that was tonight.”

“Even though your TV is quite loudly playing live coverage of the election right now?”

“With all due respect, Mr. Mayor, you must have had a better reason to come here than to listen to my TV.”

“Yes.” Flustered by Smitt’s remark, Madison winced slightly. “In short, I understand that you seek the mayor’s office.”

I mean, I have been campaigning against you for a year, genius, Smitt wanted to say. Instead, he nodded.

“Yes. There is a clear conflict of interest here, I think we can agree.”

“A conflict of interest?”

“I am the mayor of Lakeland. I have been the mayor. You seem quite intent upon unseating me.”

“I suppose you would call that a conflict of interest,” Smitt agreed apprehensively.

Madison paused, then took a step closer to Smitt, completely shutting Armstrong out of the conversation. “I have a proposal that may benefit us both.”

“Look, I’ve been out here for a year and I’ve spent thousands of my own voters’ money. If you think I’m gonna--”

Madison held up his hand. Smitt was immediately silenced.

“You drop out of the race tonight and endorse me. Life in town returns to normal, and perhaps some of the village budget finds its way into your pocket.”

“Are you trying to bribe me, Mr. Mayor? I hope you realize that’s in violation of campaign finance laws.”

“Cut the bullshit,” Madison snarled. “This town needs me. If you stand in my way, the stress of the job will be the least of your problems.”

“Bribery and now threats? This could be grounds for impeachment.”

“Impeachment? You want to impeach me?” Madison gave a high-pitched laugh. “Oh, I’m not threatening you, Mr. Smitt. I won’t hurt you. Unlike you, I still have a shred of decency left. I took this job to protect the common good and keep Lakeland safe.”

“You call towing someone’s car because they dared to park past 3 PM ‘keeping Lakeland safe?’”

Madison smiled a tight, painful smile and grinded his teeth together. “There is so much about this job that you do not understand, Mr. Smitt. Withdraw and put an end to the mockery you’ve made of this beautiful town. Withdraw and let life return to normal. Your life will be made much easier, of that I can assure you. I’ve been re-elected once for every fifty dollars you’ve made in your entire career, and believe me, I will see to it that you don’t regret your decision. So suspend your campaign tonight, for the greater good.”

Smitt pretended to think for a second. He could almost feel Madison’s sharp blue eyes burning into him, and his heart began to race much like it did when he was first interviewing for a job at Goldman-Sachs so many years ago. But this time, he had the upper hand and he knew it. He smiled and turned to Armstrong, who was now sitting on the couch staring at the floor.

“Armstrong? Get this guy outta here.”

“Right away.” Armstrong obediently leapt to his feet and cracked his neck back and forth.

“No! Please, Mr. Smitt, you don’t understand what you’re doing,” pled a shocked Madison.

“Too late, buddy,” said Armstrong. He rolled up his sleeves-- a feat which demonstrated strength by itself, for he was wearing a suit and jacket-- to reveal two very strong arms.

“You can’t do this to me, councilman! I am the mayor. I am your boss!”

“But it’s not you that elected me. It was the people. And now, you’re going to see what the people are capable of.”

Armstrong gritted his teeth and flexed his biceps. He clenched his right hand into a fist, and with one sweeping motion, slammed it down on a button affixed to the wall.

“Security? It’s time to remove the mayor from office.”

Madison glared at Smitt and Armstrong for a moment, then turned with a flourish and left, evidently trying to avoid a scandal on election night.

Armstrong turned to Smitt and grinned from ear to ear. “Did you like that line? I’ve had it prepared for years in case this happened.”

“It was… It was good.” “When I said ‘remove him from office,’ it was, like, a double meaning. I was talking about this office.”

“Uh-huh.”

“So you liked it?!” “It was good, Armstrong. Now, let’s go watch the election results.” The outcome of the election was quite predictable if you had been paying attention to the political climate in the past year. Smitt beat Madison 52%-48%, the mayor’s first loss in a political career so long it could be considered a one-man dynasty. Tens upon tens of people, which was a lot for a political event in Lakeland, came to watch Smitt’s victory speech, which they received with much applause. The city council liked Smitt even more, with the majority standing and applauding when he entered the council chamber for the first time (Armstrong was nearly censured for his loud whooping). Smitt’s first act as mayor was to eliminate all parking restrictions in Lakeland, which passed the council 9-1. The one dissenter was a longtime Madison loyalist, a tall, gaunt man who watched contemptuously from the shadows as Smitt signed the bill into law.

The first day after the bill became law, cars now lined the streets of Lakeland such that no one could tell whether there was a major traffic jam going on or if it was simply 8:00 PM on a Wednesday night and everyone had just returned home. It was a beautiful sight. Subarus, Toyotas, Hyundais, Fords, and more adorned the streets, framing them like a picture of American freedom.

And as Smitt got into bed that night, blowing a kiss to his Tesla that was parked right outside for once, he felt truly accomplished. His eyes drifted shut.

---

Crash. Bang. Vvvvvrrrrrr.

Smitt’s eyes drifted open again. Without seeing the time, he knew they had not been closed long enough. But there was crashing and banging going on outside, and Smitt’s phone was vibrating fiercely. He groggily reached for it. The display said 3:48 AM. I’m not going to answer, he thought. It’s too early. The president could be calling and I wouldn’t answer.

He answered the phone.

“Smitt-- I mean, Mr. Mayor Smitt! Are you there?!” It was Armstrong, who had not sounded this distraught since the two got kicked out of the Applebee’s bar the night after the election.

“Whoozair? Armsrong? IssthreeAM.”

“Mr. Mayor, look outside! The town! Oh, it’s too horrible!” Smitt sighed and hung up. He pulled his pillow over his ears, shut his eyes tightly, and tried to go back to sleep, when a tremendous earthquake shook the floor and nearly knocked him out of bed. That was when Smitt realized that something was seriously wrong in Lakeland. He leapt to the floor, slowly pulled himself by the windowsill, and peered out the window. He could not believe what he was seeing.

The clouds in the sky had parted; lighting was flicking through them like an angry god thrusting his trident. All the houses and the cars parked in front of them were in shambles. Massive tentacles the thickness of tree trunks burst from the ground, their great suction cups illuminated only by the lightning. They thrashed around furiously, throwing houses off of their foundations, uprooting trees, and sweeping unlucky people off the ground towards a fate that Smitt shuddered to imagine. Underscoring this horrendous scene was a cacophony of splintering wood, shattering glass, screaming people, and of course, car alarms. Smitt could only watch in horror as the town he had grown up in, campaigned for, and now governed, crumbled before his very eyes.

Suddenly, Smitt remembered Madison’s words about the town needing him. Realizing the true nature of those words, Smitt rushed to his dresser and pulled out his phone book. He quickly flipped through it until he found an Elliott Madison. Hands shaking, he dialed the number. The phone rang once, then twice, then three times, until finally someone picked up.

“Smitt, I presume?”

“You’ve-- You’ve gotta help me, Madison. What the hell’s going on?” demanded Smitt breathlessly.

“What you are seeing now is the great beast that until now slept below Lakeland. He has been sealed underneath the streets since the beginning of time-- and I was to be his warden, essentially. If enough cars remained in one spot for long enough, the pressure would wake him. I had to prevent that. Thus, the parking laws.” Madison spoke with a hint of amusement, and a hint of utter despair.

“What… Why didn’t you tell me?!” shouted Smitt, nearly crying for the first time in his life.

“Let’s be realistic, Smitt. You wouldn’t have believed me. Even if you did, you would have repealed the parking laws all the same. Because you just have to serve your constituents, don’t you. You must bend to their self-serving whims. You must tweak every rule, take an eraser to every bill, until the people smile back at you.”

At this, Smitt rushed to defend himself, tripped on his words, gasped, and choked on his gasp.

“Goodbye, Smitt. It has truly been a pleasure. May our last few moments on this earth be as pleasant as all the ones before.”

“Madison, don’t go. It can’t end like this. You know something and you’re not telling me, right?! Madison!” But there was no answer. Smitt might as well have been screaming into a brick, and he knew it, as much as he did not want to.

Smitt shambled to his door, slowly opened it, and walked outside. His Tesla had been reduced to a pile of smoking garbage, much like how he currently viewed himself. There was no chance now of evacuating.

“All I wanted,” he said to himself, “was to be mayor.”

“All I wanted,” he said in between tears, “was to fix the damn parking situation.”

“Now, the town’s fucking gone.” He crumpled to the ground and punched the sidewalk.

“God fucking damn it.”

But in his last moments, Smitt did not cry. On the contrary, he smiled. He smiled with joy, because he remembered something.

This was one blaze that Richter and Sons’ Accounting Firm would never be able to come back from.

Your e-commerce software and website style, are likely to run up the most prominent tabs. There's no question you require far less loan on average to get up and running with an online store constructed on dropshipping.

Less supply chain inconvenience: Retail entrepreneurs who manage the bulk of the supply chain-- from saving products to delivering them-- have to wear lots of hats to run an effective organization.

Whenever possible, you'll want to set up drop shipping arrangements straight with the producers of the items you wish to offer. The fewer middlemen you need to go through, the bigger your revenues will be. Tougher to differentiate: Providers usually partner with more than one online merchant, which means you aren't the only one offering their items. One of the most robust parts of succeeding with a dropshipping service design is getting to clients before the competitors do.

Electronic commerce or e-commerce is a term for any organization, or industrial transaction, that involves the transfer of info throughout the Internet. It covers a range of various types of businesses, from consumer based retail websites, through auction or music websites, to organization exchanges trading goods and services between corporations. It is presently among the most crucial elements of the Internet to emerge. https://medium.com/@reviewshere/simplified-dropshipping-review-scott-hilses-course-4904ac3ac223

Have you seen there are hundreds, if not thousands, of sites offering big mish-mash choices of low-cost gift items ... things like plastic gnomes and porcelain figurines? That's since there are a few large drop shipping business that imports these products and after that recruit websites to offer them on their behalf. This is not the way for you to go if you're getting started with drop shipping. Visit now to discover more information. There are already a lot of present large sites out there-- and way too many competitors for you to reasonably expect to be successful at it.

The process can be an advantage to web entrepreneurs; you ought to understand the benefits and drawbacks to this service model before getting started. Most companies you get in touch with will be more than pleased to speak with you-- after all, you're going to be selling their products for them. Just ask to talk with somebody about ending up being a vendor for their items when you call.

Scott felt that the secret to his success lay with optimizing his website to enable Facebook's pixel to collect as much data as possible.

Remember the old door-to-door salesman who used to go around selling products? They didn't have those items at their house; they simply took the orders. You're sort of like that, minus the wrong suit and shady sales tactics. Fewer control Businesses aren't best. If you rely on a third-party with a core part of your company, you have to give up some control.

A higher rate per product suggests less wiggle space on your customer cost point. What this eventually means for your service is you'll have to sell more items to make the very same amount of earnings you would if you purchased your inventory outright.

Cons of Dropshipping: E-commerce enables consumers to digitally exchange goods and services with no barriers of time or distance. Electronic commerce has expanded quickly over the past five years and is anticipated to continue at this rate, or even accelerate. Shortly, the boundaries in between "traditional" and "electronic" commerce will end up being significantly blurred as increasingly more companies move areas of their operations onto the Internet.

A distributor is merely a company that keeps a big stock of another business's products and disperses those items to smaller sized business. The most excellent method to find a supplier is to ask the maker of the product to recommend one merely. Another terrific way to discover a distributor for the type of item you want to sell is by looking through related trade publications. Effectively beginning and nurturing an eCommerce business requires a lot of effort, particularly if your resources are restricted. If you don't need to be worried about fulfillment yourself, a lot of complimentary time is unexpectedly readily available to you, permitting you to focus on consumer management, service, and marketing.

Electronic transactions have been around for quite a long time in the form of Electronic Data Interchange or EDI. EDI requires each supplier and customer to establish a devoted data link (between them), where e-commerce supplies a cost-effective technique for business to develop numerous, ad-hoc connections. Electronic commerce has also resulted in the advancement of electronic markets where suppliers and prospective customers are combined to conduct equally beneficial trade. In other words, you are essentially offering items made by, kept by, and shipped by someone else. Your main task is to sell the items.

Second, no stock likewise suggests no leftovers. If the item you offer all of a sudden becomes outdated, just plain or obsolete untrendy, you aren't the one with a room or warehouse full of stock nobody will purchase. Numerous online merchants find themselves needing to offer deep discount rates-- and taking significant losses-- on old products merely to get them out of their homes or storage facilities to make room for more stock.

Third, you'll be able to include brand-new items to your website nearly immediately. Given that you don't need to fret about equipping inventory if you discover your consumers demanding a particular issue, it's not impractical to expect you could add the item to your site is merely a couple of days.

In addition to not having to worry about shipping products yourself, there are a couple of other advantages to this organization design. It conserves you the expense of constructing your stock. If you resemble many people starting a small company, you don't have a lot of money lying around, so the last thing you wish to do is bind your cash in stock that you might or might not have the ability to offer.

Instead, spend some time investigating different sort of items that you may wish to sell. The things you pick should be in demand however not extensively readily available online. It's most likely more effective to target a niche market rather than try to find an item that everyone wishes to buy.

In addition to taking a look at its strengths, it is essential to know where drop shipping can restrict your organization. What are a few of the knocks against a dropshipping model for your e-commerce company?

This is a particularly important point if you're good at sales. Drop shipping enables you to concentrate on the thing you're proficient at (separating people from their cash) and hand over the time-consuming jobs of the ship.

The organization to Company or B2B refers to electronic commerce between businesses rather than in between an organization and a customer. B2B companies frequently deal with hundreds or even thousands of other organizations, either as consumers or suppliers. Scott Hilse concluded that hundreds of countless individuals were following the same suggestions and pointers about dropshipping and getting mediocre outcomes; he understood he required to stick out.

If you have been interested in starting your internet, but you have been trying to avoid the hassles of things like developing and producing products, tracking your inventory, setting up storage facility space, and preserving a confusing shipping/receiving infrastructure, then drop shipping may be your response. It permits you to sell quality, brand-name products on your website for substantial earnings, while somebody else takes care of product advancement and order satisfaction.

The best method is to call the maker straight and ask if they have a drop shipping program for you if you know the exact product you want to drop ship. This is a perfect situation since you cut out all the middlemen and get the most excellent possible rates if yes! They are most likely working with some wholesalers instead if the manufacturer does not offer a drop shipping program in place. Then ask for a list of their wholesale distributors. You can contact these wholesalers to see if they drop ship and inquire about setting up an account.

AliExpress drop shipping is among the most popular dropship designs for eCommerce business owners. Most sellers on AliExpress are overseas makers; their costs are competitive. You can pay for items at wholesale prices and have them shipped straight to your clients. Nevertheless ... Although AliExpress is taking care of validating suppliers itself, you still are cautious when picking your drop shipping provider. Here are our pointers: Prevent suppliers with brand products. Known high-end brands on AliExpress are unusual. Remain away from any suppliers selling brand items to prevent reselling fakes and knockoffs.

Stop Smoking Hypnosis: Quit Cigarettes Without Drugs Or Patches

Smoking is dangerous to your health. This health warning is thrown at people day, daily, everywhere. But smokers barely take notice, not to say recognize this warning. Smoking causes an infinite number of problems: from difficulty with the lungs, using the heart, with all the skin, and with all the teeth. It is an addiction that creates little security in exchange for that wide array of health problems it will cause later. The problem with smoking is that it acts slowly, most smokers do not notice anything before problem has got towards the very worst stage. This is why you should give up smoking now, even if you feel all right with it. Consistent smoking is among the main reasons behind the blood-vessel diseases. Under the influence of nicotine the veins contract and certain changes take place in their walls, which bring about the development of atherosclerosis. The vessel constriction, which happens because of the excessive overgrowth of the internal wall, contributes to certain regions of the center, the reduced extremities foremost, to not get enough blood flow, which ultimately may result in gangrene, a critical and potentially life-threatening condition that arises when a considerable mass of body tissue dies. The smoker's heart itself literally works at full stretch: each cigarette boosts the heartbeat by 18-20 beats for each minute, as well as the quantity of heart contractions each day increases by15-20 thousand. The simple truth is always that no quantity of nicotine running using your veins will EVER address the biggest thing keeping a smoker smoking - the PSYCHOLOGY of smoking. It'll never address the ritualistic and habitualness' around smoking. It'll never address the psychological connections you've got between certain activities and situations within your day plus a cigarette, they merely work together don't they?

Exercise - This method is essentially complimentary to the top two methods. Keeping yourself healthy along with exercises are welcome to your system. it will help one's body fight off a number of the withdrawal signs and symptoms of nicotine. It also helps one's body regenerate itself from the years long of tobacco effects that are destructive. Exercise may be jogging and ensuring you happen to be active. This also means your exercise efforts will pay-off to keep your head occupied and away through the cravings and wish to hold a cigarette.

Know Your Triggers - This again is a vital strategy that fits in well with the above approaches. Triggers are what places different individuals on the side of relapse into smoking. These triggers can be strong and when not overcome actually lead people to start smoking again whilst they may have successfully stopped for a long time of your time. Typical triggers include hanging-out with smoking friends, likely to places you accustomed to invest some time smoking, seeing someone smoking and being invited to smoke or offered a cigarette.
