For me, true joy is watching them dig their hands into the grass, touch the trees and flowers, play with sticks and mud. Have you ever watched a child discover nature? There’s something almost sacred about it, isn’t there? A little moment of pure magic.
I think it’s so important to give them the time and space to explore the world slowly, without rushing. Don’t you agree? And it’s not just a mother’s instinct—research, like studies published in Frontiers in Psychology (2021), shows that being in nature during the first three years of life helps cognitive development, reduces stress, and builds a deeper connection with the environment. A child playing with leaves, stones, and mud isn’t just having fun… they’re growing in the most natural and healthy way.
But how many kids today really get that chance? Ecologist Robert Pyle talks about extinction of experience: more and more children are growing up without ever climbing a tree, without getting their hands dirty in the soil. And when that connection is lost, something precious disappears—the ability to be amazed, to appreciate the beauty of creation.
That’s why I choose, every day, to give them these little moments: letting them touch the trees, pick flowers, and get messy in the mud. It’s not just play; it’s a seed planted in their heart… helping them grow with wonder, gratitude, and faith.

ATLA au with the 141
Contrary to popular belief Soap is not a firebender instead he is an airbender.
He looks like an firebender bc well he works with fire with explosions with bombs thing that make fire but thats the thing fire feeds off of air that why his "fire" reaches levels so high maybe impossibly high for normal firebenders.
And you cant really see airbending and airbenders are very rare almost extint like the avatar thats why most people believe he is a firebender and he didnt correct people about it, it wasnt need to know for people anyway.
the team doesnt know he is an airbender either. his file says he is a nonbender. He changed it bc he didnt want to get experimented on...again.
Oh team! Price is an earthbender Gaz is a firebender and Ghost is a waterbender
Price is a very strong earthbender he is specificly mastered at metal bending its very usefull on field. Bullet coming at high speed? Change their way. Helicopter took shot? Bend the metal so it still works. Gaz and Soap deffinetly makes him study lava bending too bc its basicly fire in liquid form and well Gaz and Soap both love chaos. He and Gaz doesnt like mission on the ocean.
Gaz is a relativly strong firebender even tho he is new at using it for his job. Police force didnt really need an firebender unless they were against a bender criminal. One day someone from the team was at danger and it was raining so he couldnt really use fire he needed more concentration but there werent any time to focus. So he instictivly redirected a lightning que suprised pikachu face. After that time he started to study lightning bending.
Ghost was one of the strongest waterbender. Everyone expected him to be something fierce like fire or something sturdy like earth nothing like the calming water. But the ocean is dangerous, its deep dark and all moving...constantly changing. He started with ice bending it come in handy with bruises his father gave him. His mother was also a waterbender she tought him how to bend water to heal. It was one of his favorite memories. But after failing to save so many people he swore off using his bending to heal...Soap changed that for him (will tell more about it below) In military they forced him to learn bloodbending. Its very usefull in his line of work but he hates using it so he doesnt unless its dire. His fave thing to use is ice blades.
Soap is an airbender an outcast of his bloodline. At first noone noticed he was an airbender instead they all tought he was a nonbender until the accident even after the accident his family never bothered to teach him his element instead they tought him of all of them easier to disguise as another bender easier to explain. They would rather have a nonbender than an airbender even if it meant the pure bloodline seemed as mixed. After the incident he was scared of his own abilities promised himself that he would never ever use it. That made him easier to manipulate easier to control. Because if he also didnt want to have the freedom of air why give him space to breathe at all? Que in an adopted sibling (they had to both parents never home and someone had to take care of the useless child.) same as him, who understood what he been through they bended air too... They showed him that air is not something to be scared of air is warm air is colming breeze of the sea air is warmth before the rain air is colder but calming breeze after a rain. With them he started learning really learning airbending. Airbending is usually not seen its after affects are or if there is dust or any light objects that air can lift. That made their study sessions easier to hide from his parents. When he first joined the army at 16 -after his siblings death(more on that later maybe..)- they somehow learned that he bended air. Air benders are rare and the goverment likes to use whatever they can get thier grabby dirt hands on. He trusted his team he trusted someone more then he trusted his team he decided that person was a familyto him. Loosing the only family left person he ever confided in to his team of all people was devistating. With that he was experimented on, used, a mouse that is in an endless maze just to get to a cheese after a while it became too much so he let go thats where he learned spirit projection. When he escaped He ruined them and his former team, he was the only one left alive. There was no marks anywhere. Not a single wound on the victims of his destruction just still air no sound nothing. Later it was diagnosed all of the team who betrayed their own for easy mony was killed by suffication. There is a reason airbenders dont fight. Air is everywhere -unless you are in space-. Air may look docile and weak but air is the only element that has no natural detterent. We’ve seen waterbenders imprisoned in places with no water, earthbenders kept in captivity in the middle of the ocean and powerless firebenders in snowy fortresses...Air is what keeps you alive. Air is in your lungs someone can force it out withought you knowing it until its too late....(I lost my toughts here sorry)
The team together works amazing frfr
Soap and Gaz? Fire and air. Air what makes the fire grow. Im sure Soap and Gaz have fun with this information they immideatly click they are brothers im sure Gaz's family "adopted" Soap when he made Soap meet his family bc they kept asking about him (he sent presents and homemade crochet stuff with Gaz all the time so they had to meet him and thank him properly) first thing gaz says is "It looks like you stole my place in the family! I was supposed to be their child they never treat me like how they treat you" he pouts but he is so glad that he was able to give Soap a family he never had before. They may or may not have singed the ceiling while trying to light the candles on Gaz's younger siblings birthday cake. They also train Gaz's lightning bending together well Gaz trains and Soap watches its an excuse for him to get soaked in the rain. Soap sometimes helps with his postures tho so no Price he is not here to just to get soaked thank you. One time Soap brought out (made Price buy/make them bc it was an experiment and i promise its safe) other types of elements that color change a fires color just to see if he can make Gaz have rainbow fire.
Soap and Ghost Air and Water. While air has more compatiblity with fire to work with. Soap and Ghost makes it work they are both ever changing elements. They use their elements in combat as a distraciton they make mist, they make vortexes they make pressured water they make little water droplets together just for Ghost to turn them to ice when they start falling and Soap makes their way by changing the air currents. They probably try to come up with new stuff on their spare times. Soap was also the reason Ghost started back in the healing bussiness he always came with wounds but the last stike to the thin threat of Ghost's dedication on not using healing ever was in Las Almas after getting shot Soap's bullet wound needed healing and it needed it fast. The bullet was lodged in there (Soap was just greatfull it didnt come anywhere near his chakras) But he was loosing blood faster and well what if he waited last minute to tell Ghost that he had anemia it wasnt his fault that he remembered that just before passing out! Ghost was forced to use his healing and well even though he was a bit rough from lack of usage he managed to treat the wound as best as he can (he was really glad it was fullmoon and rained that day) And that was start of a something new something fragile after all water is the element of change. Also he only uses the healing on Soap and well who is to say he took this as an adventage to hangout with Ghost more and run away from the medical nurses he always that knows his name by now. He may love needles but he loves hanging out with Ghost and feeling of his cool but somehow also warm waterbending on his skin...
This is all i got as of now my brain is out of juice. all of the juice that is left is saying:
Price and Ghost earth n water plant :0 mud mud mud mud >:) Ghost and Gaz cancel each other out Ghost teaches Gaz how to warm himself up underwater bc Firebenders body heat goes down faster then others. Price and Soap weed. JKJK Price makes marbles and Soap spins them omg they can be human machine gun together 🫢 Gaz can make blue fire. Price is tried of his kids and their bendings so he makes a earthbox for himself and the kids cry bc how dare you shun us out dad!!
Rudy waterbender(ice) Alejandro Firebender frfr
BUT YEAH IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER TOUGHTS ON THIS PLEASE SHARE PLEASE PLEASE also if u guys think differently on their bender types do tell me :D

Time for some lore on this guy! I'll be going over the lore for both of his components as well as his lore!
So, for starters, yes, Cardinal is comprised of 3 personalities but only 2 people. Cardinal is the result of P-8723 [who I will call PC] and Yellows consciousness working in sync to create Cardinal. If and when they act independently, Cardinal kinda just doesn't exist for a short while until they're both back on the same page.
I'll be going over both of their lore, and by both I mostly mean Yellow bc he's one of my older OC's so he's got a lot of lore going on that translates into Cardinal.
Yellow
Offical cannon
His ref is super old but it's the best I can do JFNENE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yellow is a species known as a Core, this species were once humans with magical/elemental abilities that cane from the core in their chest. Unfortunately after a mass extintion event where their planet was destroyed their souls were bound to these cores, and they would drift throughout the multiverse for thousands of years, waiting for a host to accidentally stumble across them.
Here are some non cannon pics of him having several other characters as hosts! [Don't mind some of this art is BALLS OLD]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It should come as no surprise to anyone that this mass extinction event was caused by none other then Yellow himself, destroying his entire planet because he was tired of the endless wars that infested his planet, and in his words, "ruined his life". [I even have some old art of it I just found lol. Planet go 💥]
Tumblr media
Over the next ten thousand or so years, he would hop from the universe to the universe, world to world, taking hosts and causing pain and suffering in his wake. He enjoys pain in every form, on himself or others, especially himself, as he has a tendency to rip his hosts apart when he's board of them. After all, when you spend most of your existence not feeling anything, pain feels like ecstasy, at least, that's how he sees it.
Yuy
While he has a long rap sheet of causing damage, his most notable and most terrible experiment was known as the Rainbow Core project. Think the cluster from Steven universe, except it's the fragments of shattered cores, hundreds of thousands of fractured consciousness compacted into one core the size of an SUV. Thankfully, the goddess Unity was able to use the Rainbow Core to defeat Yellow along with several other major villains he had teamed up with at the time before sending the Core off deep into space.
Once defeated, Yellow, reduced to his Core form, would be kept in high security storage by Screen for nearly one thousand years. [As of Astro II: 31XX he does not have a role, so while his story isn't over that's as far as it currently goes.]
Joj eua mkz se skyygmk?
Astro-Vision Cannon
His story In Astro vision picks up from the Astro II: 31XX timeline, meaning that when he spawned on Astronia he was still in high security storage, before eventually being moved to the same Facility as PC. From his perspective he had been dormant for a very long time, so he was extremely eager to have a new host. Using what little power he had, he would call out to PC while he was making his escape, and was able to bond to him when PC picked him up.
Under normal circumstances, Yellow would completely take over his host, but PC seemed to be different. For the first time in his long existence, he allowed PC to have some control, and in doing so, they were able to synchronize, an extremely rare phenomenon that has only occurred once before in SF! Mask. This third personality would be known as Cardinal.
PC
PC, aka Puzzles Clone, was the first to be created by Sag5, however Sag5 was unconscious when creating him, and thus, had no idea of his existence for several years.
nk'y yzorr grobk
He would go out into Astronia, immediately causing trouble, running into a group of government agents sent from the mushroom kingdom to explore the new lands. During the struggle, he would get his hand on an explosive, throwing it and severely injuring Swag and giving Chris minor injuries. Swag would lose his arm and right eye.
He was still taken down by Screen, who came just in time to save the remaining agents before disappering. He would be taken to be held in the government facility for several years. In that time, Screen would merge the Unify Army with the government facility, giving Swag a new robotic prosthetic arm and eye. Screen would also transfer the items in secure storage to the facility, including the Yellow Core.
When the day came that Swag dropped his key card in PC's cell, he took his chance to escape, as he was sneaking through the halls, he heard a voice calling to him. Following it, he found the Yellow core, and from there, Cardinal would be born.
Vxuzkiz noy MURJKT ZXKGYAXK
Cardinal
Tumblr media
A third personality, born of two mentally unstable masocistic sadists, yeah, what could go wrong? His first moments of life would be spent ripping and tearing his way through guards until he escaped the facility that held him. For a time, he laid low, learning about his abilities and how they worked. But he had a goal. You see, PC specifically was obsessed with one person, a person that Cardinal would also be obsessed with, Sag5, their Creator.
Cardinal worships Sag5 like a God, their obsession is not entirely romantic, but it can be seen that way to many. Cardinal saw everyone and everything as an obstical, especially Mr. Puzzles. At the end of Pt 4, Cardinal would sneak up behind Puzzles, impaleing him through the head, and throwing his body into the gateway before destroying it. [Puzzles did not die, but he was severely injured, he would, however, make a full recovery in pt 5]
Znke'xk utzu sk, O ngbk zu MKZ UAZ GTJ TKBKX IUSK HGIQ
Unfortunately, he wasn't as sneaky as the thought, as Tari would witness this. He decided it was best to prove a point, and show what happens to those who try to get in his way, by ripping off Taris arm, and dragging her back to the Castle.
Smg4 and Smg3 would attempt to fight Cardinal to protect Tari and the others, only for Screen to step in and protect them. Cardinal would get the upper hand, grabbing her Screen and ripping it from her face, causing her to bleed out and pass from her injuries. [Dw Screen is capable of responding, death to her is just an inconvenience]
After that, Cardinal would make his retreat. And I can't say much after that, as pt 5 and 6 are still under development!
IKGYK EUAX OTZKXLKXKTIK GBGZGX UL ZNK YZGXY
Overall
Cardinal is a massive threat to everyone around him, and will be the main antagonist of pt 5 and probably pt 6 as well. the only person spared from his wrath is Sag5, who doesn't exactly reciprocate his feelings, not that he really cares. Words can not describe how truly evil he is. He kills for the fun of it all and really has no other motive than his own selfish desires. Yet somehow, ppl want this man smh smh.
If there's anything else you want to know don't be afraid to ask!
Vrkgyk lotj nos
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yep, that's right! Puzzles had some things to attend to with his kiddo, so Cardinal will be taking over puzzles spot in the sexyman contest by @alelathedragon! Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience for some people! Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be on the sidelines, still around helping out with the contest!
Tumblr media
Yes yes, I know this is bound to ruffle a few feathers but let's be real, we all know I'm the favorite, recent asks have proven that, I'm sure this is pleasant news for everyone! As for my competition, I hope you don't mind, I know you were looking forward to an easy victory with my predecessor, but I'm not going down as easily... see you soon.

Connection with the nature is the refreshing experience! Nature is the place where the cultures and civilization were developed, Nature is like our mother, it supports us it protects us and it bares all things we do. I usually likes to hang out alone with few elders, means trees here! Every time going near to them makes me calm and relaxed, like they are transforming my mood no matter how bad it is, but eventually mood transforms to very happy one.
As being a physics student, it is the prime focus of our study was on nature, our professor Pandya, said that how old the tree is its power to calm you, relax you or heal you is higher. I was lucky to have such profs who actually mended us towards nature and society. According to Howard Gardener Test I participated, I found that my prime personality is naturalist. That's why I'm by my core, able to think about nature, think about solving problems related to nature.
But when I think what we gave in return to the nature, I feel like we gave so much to the nature but in negative way, for e.g., Pollution, Plastic waste, Extinting Species, Global Warming. As said by a member of UN that it is now, when we are slowly entering in a time of no return, after that our earth will look like a dead planet like some planets in scifi movies, where people living on that planet destroyed that planaet, due to their greed.
Actually Scientists of NASA after doing research suggesting that mars might became dead planet, due life on that planet. So it moght be alarming to us all.
What I'm saying is already said by many peoples, but what I want to say that, we must atleast start from ourselves. Because me and my friend here in india, inspected many products being available to all people which are advertised so nicely but actually they are selling products that cause damage to the environment and especially humans for whom the product is designed. Those elements found in items are also exists is similar products worldwide, some are banned in some developed nation, not is some nation, elsewhere not banned, those are generally soaps and cosmetics.
According to a research conducted in USA 92% of lipstick manufacturers were proving Lead in lipstick which is also bad to human and nature also. Those products made from Palm oil having ingredient Sodium loril sulphate is made up from palm oil, to cope up the demand, businesses of South east asia are cutting Precious Forests that keep the local equilibrium of natural cycles, home to our species cousin orangutan, so our small product we purchase from local store or super market are produced at the cost of making many orangutan homeless, those products are usually toothpaste, detergent, etc. Fortunately some nature protectors are fighting there for stopping this cruelty.
If we atleast start thinking from this point it will be enough for now. Because our combined small effort will make huge difference.

I was in the shower and I was thinking about the star wars, and there’s that quote in the last jedi about darkness rises and light to meet it and how that ties into the chosen one profecy
What we could get from the last jedi is that the force is made of equal parts of light and dark and they live in harmony until they are put out of balance
Ok first we have Anakin who was supposed to be the choosen one who would bring balance to the force, there’s a lot of meta saying that yeah he kind of was, he destroyed the jedi, who only used the light side, I think that (yeah it was awful) but it was the beggining of bringing the balance back
Unfortunely instead of bringing actual balance he went to dark side, leaving the force again unbalanced, so the force choose Luke for that task, and he did bring balance back, he even says that for a time there was balance but later he starts a new jedi school but instead of using just what he learnt from his experience he tried the old system of the jedi of only using the light side, the dark had to come back and that’s why I think the dark side came to Ben Solo, and the jedi school was destroyed and Luke cut himself from the force and went to live in exile (Snoke had his part but we actually don’t know what his full intentions are,what did Snoke wanted by corruping Ben Solo, what’s his point at all, I guess we’ll have these answers in IX or a book or something)
So the force was once again out of balance until the Rey had her “awakening” the whole thing of darkness rises and light to meet it
The force is always trying to balance itself, strong darkness, strong light, every time we have one being stronger than the other something will happen to balance itself out, just like nature itself, we had ice ages and drought, natural catastrophes and mass extintions for that reason, the force works how the nature works in our world
This new triology has given us many hints that there may be finally balance again (notice that the temple show us that there was balance, that the jedi once used the light and dark equally) so Kylo/Ben Solo and Rey are going to find a path together using both light and dark or they are going to destroy each other, I don’t see one of them surving without the other, maybe that will happen idk, but I think it’s easier to balance it with two people
JJ did say that IX is gonna tie all the trilogies together and this is somehow how I see it happen they both make a path into to the jedi of old before the separation of light and dark, and start a new kind of order
Or they don’t and Disney can do more sequels about the same thing, jedi and sith fighting xD but that sounds really unsasfatory after the whole new star wars media been telling us that there’s other ways to use the force (like Ahsoka and Bendu in rebels)
Sorry for my english and give me your thoughts on this please!

Mount Kilimanjaro’s Top Rated Facts
Tumblr media
Kilimanjaro standing at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) is the highest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. It is located in northern Tanzania, Eastern Africa. Has A Unique Origin The mountain in nature is a strato-volcano formed by volcanic eruptions 750,000 years ago. It’s referred to as dormant and not extinct since the last eruption occurred about 360,000 years ago. This proves that there is no danger of future eruptions. 2. Contains Five Different Climatic Zones Due to its height, hikers experience different temperate zones while climbing. It start with Farmland (usually covered with maize and coffee plantations), Forest (habituated by leopards, monkeys, bushbabies, leopard, rhinos, bufallos and giraffes), Heather, Alpine desert and Artic summit. 3. Has Three Volcanic Cones Kilimanjaro has not only one but three volcanic cones namely Shira, Mawenzi and Kibo(the highest). Mawenzi and Shira are extint while Kibo is said to be dormant. Shira cone collapsed and formed the Shira plateau leaving Mawenzi the second highest peak after Kibo.   4. Habitation Of Africa’s Tallest Tree (Entandrophragma excelsum ) Entandrophragma excelsum tree rising at 81 meters has been discovered on the slopes of the mountain. The tree is said to have its origin from North America since it is very unlikely to find such tall trees in Africa. The discovery has found out that 10 trees in the mountain range from 59.2 to 81.5 meters in height and are 0. Read the full article

Vesica Pieces: Where two worlds meet
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the symbol that most appears in the work. It is universal in its meanings. In psychoanalytic terms it appears when there is an irreconcilable contradiction in an individuals life. Apart from any deeply personal probing there are the issues which concern us as a species. The life force and optimism we experience as creatives in the face of our potential extintion as a species is one such dilemma. However, it has been documented during the analytic process that working with the symbol consciously can being about an intergation of the contradiction. It is interesting that I placed the symbol on the window which is the intersectiion of the inner and outer world.

anyway fe3h vent under the cut, spoilers for all routes and what i assume unpopular opinions on this site (and i have yet to finish BE and church so i assume i might be saying some additional bullshit but i know how the story goes ok?)
i guess remnants of my catholic upbringing still linger in me because i can’t help but feel sympathy for rhea even at her lowest. call it popeception or something but it’s just telling how hypocritical some people can be while judging rhea and edelgard respectively. edelgard is excused in her warmongering due to her family trauma and the experiments she was subjected to at the hands of the slitherers. understandable: the crest system is very flawed and it doesn’t even benefit the class it’s supposed to help, see miklan or edelgard’s own family, where only she had a (minor at that) crest. no one ever likes to discuss about the stunts she pulled before declaring herself emperor. barely anyone talks about the flame emperor, about her working with the slitherers and getting jeralt killed, whatever happened to the true monica (loose thread), about the death knight kidnapping young women (a move to more easily kidnap flayn? loose thread), about the bandits edelgard herself employed to kill dimitri and claude at the very start of the game.
rhea is one of the last of her kind, the goddess’ children, what is mostly likely (?) a race of shapechanging creatures. following the near extintion of the children to the hands of nemesis and the ten champions, she wages war (to him alone, i assume), and regains the sword of the creator, which includes her mother’s heart (and spine lol). maddened by the desire to see her mother again, she starts to conduct human experiments creating homunculi, inserting her mother’s heart into them. i assume she fails for years. in the meanwhile, she gives power and the regalia to the ten champions, binding them to herself and to sothis’ religion in order for her to stay as the archbishop for an undecided amount of time, to have an easier time conducting her experiments. willing or not, she shaped the social hierarchy of fodlan itself. as edelgard wants and gets to do in her route.
what’s the difference then? why is the first ailed as an hero and the second regarded as a crazy dragon reigning over humanity, despite the game having the both of them being the final bosses twice? why does everyone forget to remember that what edelgard wants can be obtained by other means as shown in claude’s route? why are the second’s executions against someone who tried to kill her a big nono, but edelgard using the citizens of enbarr as human shields fine? 
of course, both of them are far from being innocent. that’s the point of the game. people who lost their families in tragedies are pushed into revenge, which is often fueled by mental instability (rhea, dimitri) or mental instability+external forces (edelgard). if you’re claude, i guess you just want to abolish racism which is fine but far from making you an interesting character especially when you don’t reveal shit about yourself apart from muh dream.
i just want some coherence when talking about the actions of some characters. that’s all.
anyway dimitri’s ending is the overall best for fodlan because it doesn’t strip the common people of the support of the church, dimitri’s reforms actually care for orphans and the poor and at the same time weaken the power crest have in the society. edelgard’s system of meritocracy is a fancy way to say whoever’s got more money gets on top and the rest are left to dust. not to mention she puts her friends in position of power immediately after like lmao. but that’s a moot point and it’s personal preference because, objectively speaking, each lords brings peace and wealth to fodlan because byleth’s coochie/dick is that good. which. should be abolished but we will never get rid of the mu unfortunately (except maybe in the fe4 remake coming soon, believe me i just KNOW when things are gonna happen)

Aemon would have totally been the best Targ name for Jon. For one thing, there's his connection to Maester Aemon (his great-uncle) and his love for Aemon the Dragonknight. Secondly, Aemon is obviously a fantasy play on Eamonn which means "wealthy protector." Much cooler-sounding than Aegon, which was the name of some of the WORST Targ Kings in Westeros history.
Annony you are so right, but let’s see what Egg Kings ever did cuz recipts:
–Aegon V: Aka Egg, He was actually very Good with the smallfolk, but Highlords did not like this at all (cuz they were assholes) oh and also he was against Targ incest! thus planned to marry his children with the heirs of houses of Westeros, very good Job Eggy! Oh but wait his children pulled all a Rhaegar on him and decided none of them would marry their intended: Prince Duncan married Jenny of Oldstones offending Lord Lyonnel Baratheon, Prince Jahaerys and Princess Shaera ran away together and got married in secret offending Houses Tyrell and Tully and Prince Daeron broke his bethrotal with Olenna Redwayne (yup the Queen of Thorns herself) cuz he was hella gay. Egg dealt with all this stuff as best as he could but later he got obssesed with bringing dragons back so the lords would accept the reforms he wanted to make (reforms? good! scaring/threatening people with dragons to do what you want? Bad) and in his dumbassery he burned Summerhall in an experiment to hatch dragon eggs and died.
“ All three of the sons of the fifth Aegon had wed for love in defiance of their father’s wishes. And because that unlikely monarch had followed his heart when he chose his queen, he allowed his sons to have their way, making bitter enemies when he might have made fast friends. Treason and turmoil followed, as night follows day, ending at Summerhall in sorcery, fire and grief.”
–Aegon IV: Aka Supreme Fuckboy, supposedly he was super hot when he was young and married Princess Naerys (yeah this is the dude Aemon the Dragonknight hated for humilliating Naerys) but being a fuckboy he had lots of mistresses, not only that but instead of filling his court with good advisors he brought people who amused or flattered him and ladies that let him had his way with them. Dude was super gross and corrupted, ended up being morbidly obese for his excess in everything. His final act ro see the world burn was to legitimize his many bastards (going as far as to give the legendary valaryan steel sword Blackfyre to his bastard son Daeron, which was considered súper offensive) provoking the Blckfyre rebellion.
“ He is generally considered to be one of the worst kings in the history of Westeros, and is dubbed “Aegon the Unworthy” in the face of his excess and misrule.”
–Aegon III: aka Emo boy. He was the son of Rhaenyra, yes the one from Dance of Dragons. The events of said Targ Civil War let him completely depressed. Since Aegon came to the Iron Throne aged eleven, several regents and Hands ruled in his name at the beginning of his reign. Numerous political schemes, plots, and assassinations happened in those five years as the regents fought one another for political power. Basically the only thing that made dude happy was his brother and Hand Viserys return (he thought him dead) but still Egg the third could not be assed to rule, and Viserys gave very stupid advice like bringing mages from Essos in am attempt to hatch dragon eggs to stop people from calling him the Dragonbane, basically did nothing.
“He was regarded as a broken king who ruled over a broken reign. His brother Viserys did the majority of the ruling as his Hand. Aegon was melancholy to the end of his days, found pleasure in almost nothing, and locked himself in his room to brood for days on end. He likewise came to dislike being touched.”
–Aegon II: aka worst Uncle ever. So daddy Viserys had appointed big sis Rhaenyra his heir and future Queen of Westeros, but Egg the second’s momma did not like it, much less cuz Rhaenyra named her son Aegon (would you look at that a conflict caused cuz two Princes fit to inherit the throne had the same name? Who would have believed it?) and took it as a slight, yeah so as soon as daddy died he refused to accept his sister as Queen and took up arms with support from the Hightowers mainly and other people, Dance of Dragons was an awful bloody war that ended up with the extintion of Dragons and the deaths of both Aegon and Rhaenyra. Also he made his dragon eat his sister (he was rather fond to feed people to his dragon) in front of his nephew and kept him captive (“there can only be one Aegon”- Aegon II probably at some point).
“ Despite being considered as part of the Targaryen dynasty, unlike Rhaenyra who would be remembered as a usurper, history would not be kind on Aegon (though history is equally unkind to his half sister, Rhaenyra). In the tome Lives of Four Kings, Grandmaestar Kaeth would describe Aegon II as “grasping”, and comparing him with some of the worst Targaryen kings: the weakling Aenys and the tyrannical Maegor the Cruel.”
–Aegon I: Aka Original Trashcan. Came from Valarya to rain fire and blood to people who wished not to subject to him and give him all the power of a land he did not knew, his idea of mercy was not burning you if you kneeled, but he did not like violence and did not participate in tourneys OwO (fuck him) basically trash, the worst, nobody wanted him to unite the seven kingdoms, they were fine before you asshole. Bullying people to give you their homes and calling it a mercy just cuz he had dragons. Really a punk ass bitch.
“Although his reign had largely been peaceful, many of his subjects desired to go back to the days of old, when there were still seven Kingdoms. Others wanted vengeance for the deaths of their loved ones in wars, and yet others saw the Targaryens as abominations.Because of this, the reigns of both Aenys and Maegor were tumulus, and filled with battles and chaos.”
Bonus:
Rhaegar (to Elia) : Aegon. What better name for a king?
Me: *looks at the camera like I’m in the office*

If someone asked maybe she would say this game was easy, that she was so ready for his moves she wasn't surprised but it would be a lie. She kept herself away from him but it wasn't as easy as she wanted it to be, he was amazing at it. Daken was an impressive man, full of surprises, strengths and extremely smart. He was her match in a sense she hated. When she took a sudden turn he followed quickly, if she continued playing he wouldn't give up. Well... Now she knew he wouldn't get tired soon and it was annoying to know someone was as strong headed as her. Only he could make her feel even slightly attracted, only he could keep her attention like that, only he could keep her hooked willingly in a game where she was the prey. The man was truly someone special "you do? That's good but I think everyone can improve" there was no way he was perfect and no way he thought he was "maybe nor right now, man, but I have been really happy sometimes" how could she be happy when it hurt so badly to be left alone again? She didn't have her old man close, she was stuck with people that brought back some really bad memories, and the worst part, it was a fucking apocalypse. If he was truly happy Hope would admire that, because anything was right in that moment. But maybe not being her could make someone happier, not having to be so paranoid had to help. Too bad she couldn't stop it.
So many lies left his lips it got harder and harder to believe him "I don't believe you" she got slightly closer to him. She wanted to see everything, maybe something would show her how much he lied. He was so close now, maybe she would have noticed if she wasn't too focused on showing a small smirk on her lips. Danger was an exciting thing from time to time, but it was unexpected to play like this and enjoy it. This wasn't her thing, this was his game the way she had survived this was incredible "what if I do?" she whispered and shook her head. He was such a treat, such a Poison... "who told you I'm interested in having a lover?" she hit his cheek softly and smiled. Honestly, relationships had never been an objective, not even something she thought about more that once. Life around her wasn't about meeting people and falling in love or having sex, it was about surviving as healthy as she could. Her world was truly a case, his brain had to work in a really different way to say what he did "why do you know that?! It's like the shit I would never want to know" she couldn't help but laugh about it. What the hell was this man?! He was talking about his father's sex life, no one she had ever met knew about it, and if they did they wouldn't talk about it like that. "I know you hate him, and I can say he isn't even close to nice but... I kinda owe him some respect" Logan had made a mistake by not killing her there but she was alive today because of that so she owed him. Maybe back she had hated what he did but now, she was slightly thankful because she had been free because she was alive after that, plus she fixed the extintion with the scarlet Witch. "you can do that? Wow... That's a surprise" she teased and put a hand on his shoulder. Maybe he would be a nice companion if he could stop his flirting "so, you're telling me you have self control? Really?" her smile lit up a bit and she put her hand back by her side. "that's what you think?" she raised an eyebrow "well, man, you're so so wrong. Sorry, Wolf, but let me teach you something" she took a deep breath "people you love become weak spots, sure, can't deny that, but... You've ever seen someone fight for someone you love?" it was experience, she had never fought harder or smarter than when she had to help someone she loved. Love was strong, as cheesy as it sounded, and the way he spoke about it hurt. Someone had taught him that caring was weak? That loving was bad for the strong people "I have seen love make people strong. Loss makes you harder to break, but as stupid as it sounds, love makes people fight harder" if he only knew how much it mattered, how it reduced the loneliness and how it created support. She wasn't an experto, but she knew what it caused. After all, she loved Nate and that made her as hard to beat as she was. "you're so old, so pretty, yet you don't know so many things" she rubbed his cheek with patience, waiting for a moment to continue "If someone ever told you that love made you weak I hope you kicked their ass" she said softly and kissed the point of his nose quickly "because they made you sound like an asshole" who taught him shit was still a bit of a mystery to her, but they sure deserved someone to shut them up "the sneakiest applications I would say, I don't like it. If things are going to attack me at least I would like to fight back properly" he just played dirty by seducing people "the stinky thing? I think you should stop using that, it kills people's nose... Or at least mine" plus, she truly hated them "who's Edward scissor hands?" and why did they call him scissor hands? That was a pop culture reference? Maybe it was someone she was supposed to know "you were born to be pretty and a hunter, not a fuckboy. Don't blame evolution for that"
His response made her smirk, maybe a bit of fun wouldn't ruin the entire thing. Her leg raised slightly as she got even closer to him and looked into his eyes, their noses touching "really?" she said dramatically, barely containing her laughter "you want to teach me things? Like what?" she smirked and started moving again "now that I think better, I still pass, I'm not willing to deal with you and all the things that would come with it" she said like she hadn't decided she would pass since she noticed how much of a player he was. The surprise in his eyes was clear, she expected it. No one thought she could feel attraction to anyone, and what with it? Of course they didn't think so, they never knew her first and only crush. Now that she thought about it, her days with him had been happy. They were kids, but she had truly cared about him "I'm not hard to get, you're just not my type" her half smile was cocky, but something in her eyes was kind of sad because of her memories. And yeah, Daken was closer to her type than anyone, but no one had to know that part "no" was her next answer. The one guy she had ever thought of dating was dead and he had been for a really long time. Maybe it was her turn to be surprised, because when she asked she expected many things after that smirk, but whatever she thought was wrong. He replied with only one name and the smile that appeared on her lips was one she couldn't contain. For a moment she almost seemed soft and warm instead of guarded and fire but she couldn't help it, that single answer told her more than he probably intended her to get. After a small second she hid it but the smile stayed "he had a place in that stone heart of yours" there was no doubt in her mind and no doubt in her voice, he had cared about that man "because of all the people you've hurt and seduced the only one you mentioned was him" she took a small step back and shook her head, many questions going through her mind but none that she would ever ask. The heart he had may be freezing, but at least she knew some people could warm it up even if it was for a bit. Even if his responses still showed how cold he was now she had seen something apart from that in him "you can't understand it, Daken. I'm not like that" how could she? She had been raised for something and she couldn't just change in a second, just like him she was stuck in a cycle of going the way they were supposed to go. He would never be like her and she would never be like him, it was impossible "He isn't a hero, okay? None of them will ever be because they are assholes. I know what they did was wrong but fuck I messed up many times too. They harmed me for the greater good, you know how many people I accidentaly hurt for that? Or how many got hurt for me because I was the 'messiah'? " she took a deep breath and ran her hand up and down her arm"I won't say I will forgive them, but if I deserve to live they deserve the same" he was trying to get under her skin, she knew it so she closed her eyes for a moment "you don't know me, Daken"
Part of her screamed and fought to calm her down, he wasn't the cause of her anger or her pain, he wasn't a person she should fight but the part that told her that had to give up. It had to keep most of her power under control, if it didn't there were too many powers to choose from and the danger she could put people in if she lost control wasn't worth stopping the fight. She took a small step back when she saw his claws, a sense of danger showing inside her. She had to do something about it and she was too mad to just let him hurt her so her own claws showed slightly, but those weren't his, she wouldn't be able to say but those were Laura's.

She looked away because she had to, Hope wasn’t just one idiot who fell for people’s tricks easily so she needed to stop looking at him for a moment. The way this man worked was by manipulating and seducing his target so just for a moment she needed her time to clear her thoughts once more. The more he knew about her the easier it would be for him to use it against her, it was a pattern people who hunted her followed. They get information and talk until they hit a weak point, her mind said to remind the redhead how much she truly knew about this. “I don’t need, you do” her elbow hit his ribs without much force as she shook her head “you have some really bad habits and you tell me that?” a small smirk was sent his way “bad idea, Wolf” it was sad to her how this guy she actually enjoyed being with was just one more risk for her because life had made him an asshole. Maybe people like them weren’t made to be really friendly.
Life and meaning had been a burden, she couldn’t deny it when she had seen what having a life with a specific meaning forced in it was like and she could focus on that if she actually found what he said interesting or if she could believe him “oh, really? And what’s that to you right now?” the things he said always seemed poetic but that wasn’t what she liked to hear. If he was going to tell her something she expected it to be clear and straight to the point, that was how she liked it because he seemed to jump between truth and lie with the pretty way he used words and she was getting tired of it “because for me it just seems like bullshit” the smirk returned with a small glim of pure smart-ass attitude in her eyes. For her it was a warning, but who knew if he understood? He was an old soul, but also, he had everyone wrapped around his finger so it was a bit unpredictable. Old, she laughed in her head as he kept talking, he was truly old “also manipulative and a liar, I don’t think the handsome part is enough for me. So… I pass” it was so true it was funny for her but not as funny as his sassy comment. A loud but short laugh was her response “man, don’t make fun of the ancient ones” she joked. Oh, the way her laugh stopped was sudden, the surprised had hit her hard ‘like her father’ “oh, wow… Now that’s one way to push someone away” she scratched the back of her head slowly “fuck, that’s an awkward comment” was he really that old? Had she truly felt attracted to a man as old as Nate? The thought made her cringe… Ew, what was he thinking? She cleared her throat after his next sentence, maybe that would help her get over the uncomfortable 'like your father’ shit “no, your flirting would be too annoying” maybe it would be nice to travel with him if he stopped flirting, after all… He seemed to be the kind of guy she would throw off the top of the Big Ben or something and that did sound fun. It was true, it was stupid to love fuckers like him but it was also true the way he acted was stupid “you’re right, loving fuckers is just stupid” she shrugged “they hurt, betray and break people who care…” there was no way to deny that “but fuck, the people that care are so brave and admirable. They take a risk and stick with it because maybe, just maybe the person they care about has something redeemable and they choose to believe that” she slapped his cheek softly “they don’t even have to like those fuckers, they just believe they’re worth it even when they want to hate them” with that all Hope wished she could get the point across his truly thick brain because his family was a treasure that deserved his effort to make them happy and… Well, she believed he deserved feeling loved. With a big smile she replied “your tutors taught you how to be a fuckboy? Or was that only you?” she hit him again playfully “fancy boy” she managed to mutter.
Everyone would think whatever they wanted. Hope was a bastard, a brat, a rebel or a hero depending on who you asked. She couldn’t care any less now, but what did matter was one, how annoying comments got and two, what Nate would think about it. And she was sure he wouldn’t like him, it was clearly a bad idea and she would understand why he would hate it. “well, even though I hate being called a victim I wouldn’t mind if I was yours” she smirked, the joke in her words being clear “but honestly, why would I fake to date you? It would just be a mess and well, I would rather avoid it” the family mess, the public mess, her own feelings as a mess, she was too tired to handle that. Hope could admit she was tired in that sense. “yeah, I have someone I would like to flirt with but the name will remain a mystery for you” the words slipped, but after she said it she didn’t really care. The person she meant wasn’t important information in this time line after all “what about you? Did someone actually get inside your cute, cold heart?” the reason why she asked was a mystery even to herself, but now that the words had left her lips she found herself being interested in it. It seemed impossible but if someone had what had happened? Did he avoid romantic love as much as she did?. It shaped them, every single thing had made them change and it was hard to admit how much people could mold them. The messiah title made her be who she was as much as she hated it and her enemies has changed her as much as that title did so his words made her smile turn a bit sad “I wish I could say that” she rubbed his cheek and looked away. In her memories there were so many things that made her mold, there were so many faces that now she couldn’t forget and so much pain that had left scars on her. Bishop came to her mind as she wondered if she could kill her enemies “I just think some people thought they were doing the right thing when they attacked me” that was her answer, she despised him, but killing him wouldn’t help at all, maybe it would even break her a bit more because he was the Grey part, he wasn’t evil, he just made what he thought would benefit his future. “Scott didn’t h…” but he did, he did hurt her a lot and it was something that had truly hit her like a brick when she couldn’t finish her sentence “he will never be my enemy” she corrected “and I wouldn’t kill him” her hand pulled away from his cheek and rubbed her own arm. “just tell me what you want so I can have an even better reason to keep saying no”
Hope couldn’t stop, it was like those times she couldn’t truly explodes since she was left alone were coming out as fury against him. Part of her knew it, but she didn’t care. She kept going, she kept punching again and again, each time stronger than the time while before trying to keep her powers out. She could feel her anger swallowing her thoughts as he talked and finally she stopped listening to her mind when he managed to twist her arm. She stepped on his foot with her military boots and elbowed him with her free arm, she hadn’t hit anyone so hard in years. It was almost beautiful the way they fought, but with each movement the control she had over her powers was slipping, her anger growing and she knew this wasn’t the worst part. The weapon was starting to show.
Hope was tempering herself, but it wouldn’t last. It never could. She was interesting not only because she was clever to him, but she knew who he was; she knew exactly what he was, and what he was doing to her; and yet she played his game anyway. She knew she what could be letting him do, but she couldn’t stop. It was all down to his irresistibility, product of his charm and skill, and he reveled in it. It was inexplicable but this uneasy consciousness drew him in, too. Only he could make someone knowingly become his prey and like it; only she could fulfill his ravenous thirst for intrigue. “I like the way I am,” he smiled innocently, “You’re the one who doesn’t appear to be living up to all the happiness you could in life.” To say that he was fully happy in reality would be inaccurate. But from what he’d gleaned of the mysterious mutant messiah, in these verbal dances they played, she was actively holding herself back. Not from him specifically, but holding herself back in her life. She understood self-preservation, but operating out of pure self-interest — as Daken liked to believe he did — that was not Hope. She was the one that needed to change.
His words were meaningless — but if he didn’t know what the reaches of his soul desired, he knew what his mind did at this moment. “Why you, of course,” he smiled with a slight bow. For all their dynamic, there was a time to play and there was a time to not — and they operated on different levels, even now. She had been right, before; she was a challenge, and he was fascinated. He laughed slightly at her evaluation. She saw through everything, didn’t she? Or maybe she just didn’t like flowery dramatics. There was a gleam in her eyes, spunky, impetuous — it excited him. “Don’t knock it till you try it,” he smirked. “Manipulative liars can be the best lovers, so I heard. All this being true to oneself can really hold a man back.” He rolled his eyes playfully as she teased him. If he protested, he’d only be feeding her point. The revulsion on her face as she comprehended his words was tangible. He had no boundaries, but he‘d be damned if he was about to switch avenues over that. Any such visceral reaction was a good one — it was a sign of his power. He laughed at her reaction. “You think that’s weird? You should look into some of Logan’s conquests… he’s more of a creep than I am, which is the greatest accomplishment of his pathetic life. Pity he doesn’t own it. Always trying to tame himself… Why do you think I grew up without my father? He’s despicable, and more people ought to appreciate that about him.” He winced slightly — though whether it was over Logan or his own bitterness, even he wasn’t sure. That wince was a mistake. Given where he’d led her mind, she might misread it. Just because he was similar age as Nathan didn’t mean he was the DILF. He resisted the urge to talk about what he thought Nathan needed to loosen himself up a bit. “What if I promise to try to control myself?” he asked sweetly, in the least controlled, coquettish way possible. Maybe someday he would travel with her, but he would have a lot to think about before it ever became a reality. He was so stupid — he smiled at her words; it sounded like it was from experience, about some fucker she had known to hurt her. It wasn’t until she slapped his cheek softly that he realized she was talking about him. Stupid. “How is it admirable to be weak?” he pointed out quietly. “Just because such particular weakness puts them through more trouble and suffering than anything could be worth… doesn’t mean they’re not giving into weakness— to the capricious urges of the heart.” He knew how cold he sounded. It would probably push her away. But then again, he was being honest, he was being real — she liked realness, didn’t she? Maybe all caring was weakness, like the way he felt about his sisters. But maybe, sometimes… it was worth it to be weak. It was worth it to be imperfect. Or maybe not. Why did people with so much physical power do such stupid things? Why did they let themselves be hurt? He thought Laura loved him, and she could take care of herself, but… the only way she had survived was not letting people like him get their hooks in her. Hope’s smile made him relax a little bit. She didn’t know how right she was — his academic tutors might not have taught him that, nor his combat instructors, but Romulus had decided it was what he was perfectly suited for. As a kid Daken would’ve just preferred killing. He hadn’t known then how much power using people could make him feel. “You know. I was taught to use my power to its greatest applications,” he laughed. “Pheromones are a wonderful thing. The man who raised me did his best to make me irresistible. Unfortunately, he looked like an enormously bulky Edward Scissorhands, so…” he paused, pushing past dark memories, trying to joke, “I don’t imagine he had the greatest of experience.” Romulus’ words had been what was seductive. The most manipulative person you could ever imagine… or maybe Daken was just a sucker, looking for a father figure, who had fallen for it. “But really! Homo superior, the next leap in evolution… My mother was beautiful, my father had the animal instinct. I was born to be a fuckboy. Blame evolution.”
Perception was everything. Daken lived by that rule; it was what gave you power. Inspiring fear, inspiring love… he cared very much what people thought of him. But he also liked to have fun. “Oh, I know,” he fixed his eyes on hers. He was fully aware that she was joking, but if he could make her uncomfortable with that fact herself, he was going there. “Fake dating me, it would give you practice, I could teach you so much… and it would be hilarious,” he tilted back his head. Where was her taste for challenge? Was he not enough for her? Her self-preservation, clashing with the attraction that he knew he could draw out of her. He paused at her next words, attention caught. He didn’t know why this surprised him so much. He guessed she had given the impression that she was opposed to anything that might give the impression of sexual interest. Even stifled tomboyish futuristic soldier as she was, she was a young woman, with deep seated issues. “Oh, I see, Miss hard-to-get! Your eyes are set elsewhere. So much suddenly makes sense! Is this lucky individual in Haven?” He might not persuade her to tell him who it was — she hadn’t even wanted to tell him her last name in their entire first meeting — but all she professed to hide was the name. He could figure it out. He smirked at her question. He’d had plenty of lovers, people who had certainly felt some type of way about him, but to let one actually into his heart would be disdainful. But did he want her to know that? Perhaps so: perhaps the truth would intrigue her more. And perhaps he had softened over the years… but he wasn’t vulnerable like that. When he’d dated his drug dealer in San Francisco, and he’d taken advantage of him — Marcus had only won by out-manipulating the manipulator. Daken had never felt affection for him. He would never just allow someone to hurt him like that. So what if he hadn’t killed everyone he’d ever had a relationship with? That time he’d slaughtered nearly everyone at an auction, and he’d spared the Hydra agent with whom he’d once had a fling — that was nostalgia, not weakness. It would only be weakness if he allowed such feelings to inconvenience him. Feelings… he had no feelings! He wasn’t that weak! But what about Johnny? He’d really liked Johnny. Johnny… had been so gullible. “I used to have a thing with the Human Torch,” he shrugged. “But then I betrayed the Fantastic Four, just for fun, just because I hated them, so you tell me if he ever had a place inside my cute, cold heart to begin with?” Romulus had molded him when he’d showed him that love was weakness. He had showed him the strength in making others love you — to be in love yourself was to be in the most vulnerable state one could be. Romulus had looked down on Daken for loving him like a father. He’d been wrong for that. “You can use that,” he offered quietly. “So you are what they made you? Then use those very qualities they molded into you against them. It’s the biggest middle finger you can give.” Unless they did that whole deathbed thing about how proud they were. That was infuriating. “That doesn’t mean you should forgive them. People who hurt you because they think it’s the right thing? Those heroes are the worst kind of people.” A surge of amused satisfaction swelled in him when she couldn’t even finish her sentence. Cyclops was indefensible. “Ha. You’re young yet. It’s okay, I believe in you. You’ll get over your hangup,” he smirked, a little bit just to get under her skin.
Hope fought dirty. He hadn’t been in a fight actually worth his energy in a very long time. Zombies were the epitome of boring. And Hope wasn’t a superhero, she was a worthy opponent. The rush, the heat of action — it was fun. Even if he was angry at himself, angry at her, just angry — the adrenaline that fueled him was the closest to relief he could ever get. He moved with her punches, his body limber. There was no need for words anymore, no need to taunt her. The girl who was vulnerable to such things was gone. She couldn’t be any more goaded than she was now. His lungs inhaled sharply when she stomped on his foot, then in fluid succession her elbow thrust with greater strength into his gut beneath his ribs, triggering his gag reflex — pain meant nothing to him, not so long as he felt their shared energy, but in instinct his knuckle claws shot out through his skin — four of them — and dug his left claws into the ground to keep himself from sprawling, slicing at her shin with his right. He hadn’t wanted to make this too easy; but she had his healing factor. She could last, even if he cut her. He breathed loudly through teeth curled into a grinning snarl.

Hermeticism and breaking through
Writting is a very hermetic craft, and breaking through, breaking that hermetic space that one’s writting create, is porpousefully what writting aims to do, its goal. To break its own hermetic spaces, and walls, adn open new spaces for said writter. Even as humans, as persons, we crave for breawking through in our lifes, coming from one state, to a next.
That is what we shuld envy from hollywood stars, their breaking through moments, the moments they knew, life will have change for them, the time they knew, they had made a step. 
We as persons also, want to break through our own hermetic cicles, meet new people, change or lives upside down, find new directions, new experiences for our lives. 
Breaking through is like breaking an invisible wall, that  cloister us, box us in, from the omment we are born, fin the very times we are born, we are already boxed in into something, in these times, the humanity is boxing in humanity into a enterteinment box, and economic box, and societal box, it may never break out from, it will be its ultimate coffin.
But like so, animals that have breaking through the mass extintion are the ones that are here to tell the tale, that have withstanded the proof of times, likewise, writters, that have breaked throught their own times, be it middle ages, renaiscance, shakespare, cervantes, they have achieved the ultimate thing, that is to break through into all the times, be there forever, alongside humanity’s journey, through space and time, resounding, echoing through the times. 
So me as a writter, I feel the hermeticism that my own writting creates, it is quite asfixiating, it encloses itself, every writter, we are talking of thoughts, first of all, when a writter writtes, its putting its own head into paper, it is impossible not to be hermetic, every mind is hermetic in its own way, it is how minds are, it is how they are formed, developed, it creates barriers, invisible, made out of fear, of societal repehension, made of limits, we cannot overcome limits like time itself, we cannot break the barrier that put us in the right here right now. Except we can, through other means, not quite so literary. 
So reading into “an easy girl” we can understand that what make us free, is not quite doing whatever we want at any time, but doing what we love everyday, and true freedom, is breaking through with that, breaking trhough with writting, oh, what a bliss. It is, the ultimate wall. Once you have done that, you can, quiet frankly, belive you can do about anything.

The Health Of Retail
Tumblr media
We are witnessing an importand change in the worldwide retail landscape. Online shopping platforms like Amazon and Aliexpress are the "west vs east" of the commercial frame, now their impact on international retail markets can be felt with slowdowns in North America as the consumers' preferences have changed. This is happening because of poor retail growth and brick&mortar brands can no longer look the other way. Sears is gone, no more, because one CEO after the other did not have a clue how to handle a crisis of confidence the digital age brought in the last 15 years. So even large names were not spared from extintion, much like the big dinosaurs of the past, in a wave of major changes where the core principle of the consumer managed to switch so drastically in the last 10 years. Customers have based their shopping habits upon online reviews from others who already bought and tested items. The new approach method for buyers is to visit the mall on weekends scout their next purchase and then buying it online as soon as they got back home. Why? Because today's shopping experience is not the lavish one of the 20th century where Baby Boomers and family could overspend their budget; plus, the global economy wasn't as shaky as it is today. It's sharp purchasing. Beside that, Millennials are working wages that forbid extras like car-ownership, let alone the cottage and the boat, these were investments that drove the economy of the second-half of the 20th century. And because of that the economy has been resenting it since 2008 (or perhaps 2001), where we witnessed the global financial meltdown. Now retail wants customers back, but it isn't happening simply because wallets are empty and the new generations don't want to drive minivans anymore, let alone an over inflated house in the suburbs. Retail could bounce back with a store experience to attract custumer and backed with an online presence worthy of the competitors. This translates into having consumers coming back to the physical store and enhence their shopping experience with the latest technologies such as holograms, augmented and virtual reality. Play first, pay later

La producción de la que será la sexta y última temporada de House of Cards se ha paralizado indefinidamente para revisar la situación y abordar las preocupaciones del equipo, pero no contará con la participación de Kevin Spacey. Después de que varios miembros del equipo confesasen a CNN que el actor había creado un ambiente de trabajo tóxico, el servicio ha decidido cortar relaciones con el actor. Además, no estrenarán Gore, el biopic de Gore Vidal protagonizado por él. Si la sexta temporada de House of Cards llega a realizarse -ya se estaba grabando el tercer episodio cuando saltó la noticia-, su producción podría retomarse después de Acción de Gracias; y no se descarta tampoco un spin-off centrado en Doug Stamper (Michael Kelly) u otras dos ideas todavía sin guionista asignado. Spacey, cuya imagen ha desaparecido del menú principal de Netflix, está buscando tratamiento mientras siguen apareciendo nuevas acusaciones de acoso sexual. Además, se queda sin el Emmy que ya se había anunciado.
The International Academy has announced that in light of recent events it will not honor Kevin Spacey with the 2017 Intl Emmy Founders Award
— Intl Emmy Awards (@iemmys) 30 de octubre de 2017
Como curiosidad, This Is Us eliminó una frase que hacía referencia al actor en su último episodio emitido.
Episodios adicionales
ABC ha encargado dos episodios más de Grey's Anatomy, Black-ish, American Housewife y The Middle, que tendrán un total de veinticuatro en sus temporadas actuales. Por su parte, CBS ha encargado tres guiones adicionales de Wisdom of the Crowd. Está considerando ampliar a dieciséis los episodios de la temporada.

If were being techinical no one would live to see it, its sort of like that whole experiment with cards and how many combinations you can make only with more variables, by that time the sun would have imploded leaving either black hole or leaving earth without an atmosphere and a gravitational pull allowing asteriods or planets to collied with it as humans undergo mass extintion due to lack of oxygen, leaving out if humans are even still alive at this point. Theoretically the universe would probably end up imploding on itself as all matters of time and existance stop before we run out of posts due to the sheer amount we can make.
we’re gonna run out of posts eventually
