#finally finished these after A WHOLE YEAR OUGH | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

finally got around to finishing the finale of the ghost trick remaster. i've played and watched this ending more times than i can count but it's still so SO good.

all of my insane thoughts and overanalysis/overthinking under the cut

when the last portion/chapter of a game or book is called 'final chapter' or the title of the story.. GRRRRRRGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

when the four of them are discussing what to do and they're like "we might not be able to change your fate of dying" and yomiel is just. "i can accept that." 😭😭

^ HE SAYS WITH A SMILE. AUGH.

man no matter how many times i see it, yomiel getting flung back and impaled on the post never fails to make me flinch

ough.

These long, lonely ten years…

you were my one and only friend.

How about it?

Do you remember now...

*spotlight, the reveal*

...old friend?

SCREAMING CRYING SOBBING THROWING UP THE WAY THIS STORY IS TOLD

NOT TRAUMA KICKING IN 😭

he finally rember after so long of forgor...

and then the whole retelling of the story by sissel and yomiel where they narrate interchangeably without any indication of who is talking but you can still tell who's narrating hewioagljadsklfajds

Somebody, please reach a hand out to me... //

My body wouldn't move, but I still managed to reach out a "hand" to him.

ueueueue them finding the comfort they sought and needed in each other because at our cores, we all need connections..

catboy yomiel real and canon

Those ten years were very happy for me.

But they weren't happy for the man...

and there was nothing I could do for him.

^ LINE THAT PEOPLE DO NOT TALK ABOUT ENOUGH. god these lines hit so hard bc it's like. when all you want is for someone you love to be happy and you're trying your hardest and you're giving everything but you just don't know and you just can't understand that there just isn't any way for you to help, no matter how much you want to..

man just. imagine that when you finally think you're going to be free. that after so many years of limbo you think you're finally going to get what you've wanted. and when you get to the final steps of your plan, you find that your best friend, the only person keeping you afloat throughout this whole time, just died. because of you.

AUGHGGHHGHGHGGHHG GOD. GOD GOD GOD.

THE UNIMAGINABLE GRIEF AND REGRET. AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO EXIST UNTIL THE END OF TIME WITH THESE BURDENS

jowd being the one to say this is so good. bc out of all the people, he might be the one that understands yomiel the most. yomiel's entire goddamn existence and everything he's believed and been forced to endure has finally been righted. jowd's own predicament and resulting fate change from this whole ordeal is also incredibly drastic, but that's what makes him the one who most closely relates to yomiel. yomiel's twisted, revenge-fueled desire to make jowd feel the same pain he felt turns into empathy and understanding.

I'M CRAZY. I'M CRAZZY

do you ever think about how, for the 4 of them (sissel, yomiel, jowd, missile), they have 20 years of memories overlapping each other in a 10y period? if not more, from all the rewinding and trial error of this one night? when they "return" to the new present that is born from this final aversion of fate, do they just find themselves in a completely different place in life, with a whole entire set of memories? do they just. slide "back" into place in this new timeline and replace the placeholder version of them that existed in those 10y that were completely changed, all of a sudden now with all of that version's memories and experiences?

how disorienting and confusing and discombobulating would that be, to suddenly have two completely different versions of the same period of time in your head

it's not as bad for missile, since he's only two years old when the events of the game happen, and so "only" has 2y worth of memories that overlap, but for sissel and yomiel and jowd...

and the fact that only the four of them will remember. sissel and missile are fine, as animals, but for yomiel and jowd.. how often did the people around them think they were insane, talking about things that never happened and knowing things that they shouldn't know, breaking down over things that remind them of this overwritten timeline

When we go back, our fates will no longer be interconnected.

It will be like we never met...

hiweoaghlkjadslkfjkl and in that new timeline, yomiel's one and only friend, the only being he could have called a friend in those years of limbo from the previous timeline, now has nothing to do with him.

and so before that happens, he has to apologize for everything he made sissel go through. even though sissel chose to stay by his side, it's only human nature to feel guilty for something you can't help. he needs this solace.

and sissel gives it to him.

all these four can do is hope that the stars will align and the gods that started this whole mess will allow them to meet once again

-> RAY. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON RAY.

these have to be some of the most genuine, heartfelt lines in the game, alongside the thanks that yomiel gives sissel.

not me getting sad about ray's reluctance to even talk about himself. oh boy.

his reluctance to reveal just how much he messed up and failed. how hard he tried and how much he's sacrificed just to help his friends. telling this almost complete outsider how much of a failure he was and expecting them to understand his selfish, selfish reasons

can you imagine? waiting for 10 years to pin all your hopes and sacrifices on this stranger that didn't stop to give you the time of day the first time. and if they don't help you this time, everything would have been for nothing. having to just stand back and watch as everything happens this second time around because you can't risk messing it up this time.

doing all of this knowing that, whether things work out or not this time, you're going to disappear at the end.

Of course!

Because that's what doggies do!

🥺🥺🥺🥺😭

the wave of relief and satisfaction when reincarnation starts..

From just that single night as a human, I got a glimpse into their world.

And I learned something...

Their fates, their lives - they were all interconnected...

Somewhere, somehow, in some way.

And, now, this is MY new fate.

literally just in awe at this story.

the reveal of sissel's new fate w the next lines.. one of the most fulfilling, complete endings and feelings of closure i've ever gotten from a game.

It suits me just fine to curl up and watch...

...watch the strange and beautiful patterns of their lives as they unfold.

And it looks like...

...I'll have plenty to watch

here for quite a while.

and the credits song kicking in.. the way it's timed perfectly with the final reveal and snaps to the main theme in time with the end of sissel's speech. it's SO satisfying.

and the fact that the credits song is a remix of the main theme that we've heard so much throughout the game as a way to end each chapter with a sense of mystery, but this final time, it's triumphant. it's the same tune but this time we've solved everything. everything is going to be okay.

i love you ghost trick

#once again copypasted from discord ramblings #if you havent played or seen ghost trick DON'T LOOK #gt one of the games EVER.#.d #ghost trick #ghost trick spoilers

max's top books of 2023 :3c

as usual, these rankings are based on some arcane mix of objective quality + my personal enjoyment (previous year's lists)

it was another weird reading year! i did a lot of reading for school, more so than in the past; some of it was really good and some of it was, uh. well, some of it was william wordsworth. nothing i absolutely loathed, though (most of the reads i disliked were books i could at least appreciate on an art/history level), which is cool. so i'm bringing back the runner-up category. did not make it onto my top ten list but were really good anyway: beartown by fredrik backman (books that no joke made me understand why people are insane about sports) and the GORGEOUS re-release of my dear @yvesdot 's debut, something's not right, which i have read before but will always gladly revisit again.

my top anticipated release for 2024 is alecto the ninth again.

(but shoutout also to just happy to be here, king cheer, and henry henry. trans people! shakespeare, even!)

and the list! in increasing order of enjoyment, with pictures this year!

10. The Common Liar by Janet Adelman

no, i can't believe i'm doing this either. i can't believe i did all that preamble and the first book on my list is an academic thesis analyzing shakespeare's antony and cleopatra. but also? it's the only book anyone ever needs to write about shakespeare's antony and cleopatra. janet adelman said it all. which is cool, because i have a fixation on that play, but also sucks, because i was also trying to write an essay on it and mine wasn't nearly as good. btw if anyone wants to buy this for me, somehow, for the $120 it costs on amazon because academia is awful, i will send you my address,

9. Robert Icke's Oresteia

i don't need to say anything about this play, because it's the source of "this was always going to happen. she's been dead since the beginning." that should be enough. but after becoming deranged about the oresteia last year, i finally read this, and holy shit, this adaptation of the story is so fucking genius and icke's writing is so fucking good. it's antiwar! it's about mental illness! there's gender! the fucking ENDING! (i have a pdf if anyone would like it. anything to plug this play bark bark bark rufrufruf grrrrrr)

8. Down Girl: the Logic of Misogyny by Kate Manne

this is a little bit cheating, because i haven't finished this book yet, so maybe in the final chapters manne will say something like "what if we blew up every orphan" and i'll have to retract this. but right now it's fucking excellent! i've been making an effort to read more nonfiction lately, and this one shines; manne sets out to analyze misogyny not as a personal hatred of women that some men harbor, but as an intricate and structural system forcing women into the role of Giving (attention, affection, power, etc; sometimes their lives). and it's sooooo smart. some of it is stuff i already know (and some of it is Academic Philosophy TM that goes right over my head), but manne articulates her point excellently and i can feel it rearranging my brain, so it's going on the list for longevity and skill!

7. Dictator by Robert Harris

does this book objectively deserve to be on this list? you know what, yeah. i'll say it with my whole chest. i don't like how harris writes women and there are plenty of things to pick at in his cicero trilogy, but i had so much goddamn fun reading it that i can't not put it on the list. this was my year of being really really into cicero, and this was fun to read alongside e-pistulae. harris is sooooo good at making ancient roman politics gripping. the last scenes of this book. augh. ack. ough!

6. Detransition Baby by Torrey Peters

there are a lot of valid critiques of this one (a lot of bad critiqus, too, but such is writing literally anything about transness), but i fucking adored it. i LOVE dual timelines, i LOVE unlikable characters, and i FUCKING LOVE TRANSSEXUALITY! moreover, i love that peters isn't afraid to Go There, to poke at the messy ugly sides of transness (and queerness in general) that i think a lot of us don't like acknowledging, especially to cishet people whose view of the community is already skewed. i don’t think this is the One Great Trans Novel; i think there are a lot of great trans novels, and we need more. but this one did hit me RIGHT in the chest, and i couldn't put it down.

5. Wrath Goddess Sing by Maya Deane

the iliad but achilles is a trans woman and she's fighting the war on both mortal and divine levels and she and helen have an insane homoerotic half-god rivalry and everybody is fucking crazy. pitched as "for fans of TSOA" but as i said in my review if TSOA is a pleasant but watery iced tea then this book is gasoline laced with crack. there is a bisexual transgender threesome. i fucking love women. book of the fucking summer

4. White Teeth by Zadie Smith

i probably enjoyed wrath goddess sing more, but i can't not rank this book highly on this list. this book is such a fucking masterpiece. it's tolstoy for the modern age. it's a sprawling multi-familial multi-cultural multi-generational epic about race and gender and religion and science and humanity and britishness. smith's prose is fucking amazing; her character work is even better; this book has no plot but it uses its length sooooooo well. the first zadie smith i've read, but by god there will be more. she wrote this at TWENTY-FIVE. that's fucking CRAZY. do you know how much control over your craft you have to have to write this at twenty-five. bonkers. it is also the only enjoyable book i read in my modern literature class, so shoutout to white teeth for keeping me sane,

3. The Secret to Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel

this book is ostensibly about bechdel's relationship with exercise. it is actually about bechdel's relationship with her own body, her own soul, her desire for individualism in the style of the transcendentalists, transcendentalism in general, mortality, and aging. i can't really tell you more than that because i didn't actually "read" this so much as i absorbed it through my skin like a frog while trying not to tremble like a little purse dog. i am not gonna lie man i did not have a very good. um. august. or september. or october november december. so this book really could not have come at a better time. alison bechdel i am obsessed with you

2. The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel

ALISON BECHDEL I AM OBSESSED WITH YOU!!!! this one narrowly edges out secret to superhuman strength because... well, i'm sort of rating the entire comic strip's run, and dude. holy shit. i love lesbians so much. this strip is such an important piece of lesbian history; it reminded me that a lot of the things lesbians (and LGBT people in general) argue about and deal with today are... the same things we've always argued about and dealt with, from intracommunity label discourse to global politics to hitting on women badly. but history aside--it's also just really fucking good! it's really funny! if you are a neurotic leftist, as so many of us are, it's hysterical! it's smart! it's hot! it's heartwarming! i read it over the first half of the year, in little bits and pieces, and by the end i felt like i really had gone decades with these characters. really just. so good. the power she has the range she has

1. the suzanne collins reread

okay. this one is definitely cheating. because i usually like to keep this list to books i'm reading for the first time, and i HAVE read the hunger games and the underland chronicles. but i read them, like, almost ten years ago, and i was not prepared to be so thoroughly fucking bodied by them this time around, now that i have critical thinking and analysis skills. we all know the hunger games is a fucking banger, so let me pitch the gregor the overlander series: something of a modern alice in wonderland setup, where the eleven-year-old main character falls into an underground world full of strangeness, except this world isn't whimsical, it's dangerous and stuffed with giant talking animals like bats and rats and cockroaches. there's a war on. there are plagues. there are war crimes. there is a plotline that is extremely explicitly about ethnic cleansing. there is some of the most heartbreaking fucking shit you've ever read in your goddamn life. there is also a rat who quotes macbeth and the underlanders revere a guy named bartholomew of sandwich. this series is for middle schoolers. i cried. not when i was a middle schooler reading it the first time; i mean now. so i'm breaking my no-rereads rule, because it really would be a lie to say that my best reading experience wasn't revisiting all of collins' work with my friends (yes, i read TBSOS; i think it's fine but not great). sorry to give publicity to an author who definitely doesn't need my help, but a few years ago my #1 spot went to shakespeare, so.

if you've read this far: thank you! please tell me your thoughts! tell me your favorite books of 2023! tell me which books you're excited for in 2024! and have a very lovely new year :)

Yo, what's your favourite moment/line from Disco Elysium?

VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION HKJHG <3 off the top of my head, favorite moment is shooting down the hanged man and aces high/low :] it's just such a win... very celebratory moment with kim!!

if i had to pick a line, it would be "I NEED YOU. YOU CAN KEEP ME ON THIS EARTH. BE VIGILANT. I LOVE YOU." it's just such a classic. the line of all time, shivers my everything!!! LA REVACHOLIERE MY EVERYTHING!! if i had to choose, its this one :3

anyway, here's a list of voli's poignant quotes :]

"This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive."

"The road to healing is going to be a long one. Stay the course. You will make it, some day."

"Subdue the regret. Dust yourself off, proceed. You’ll get it in the next life, where you don’t make mistakes. Do what you can with this one, while you’re alive.”

"I know there's not much to say -- but if nothing else, just remember that you've made it this far. And it's just a bit farther now. Let's finish this."

"No. You can stop. Just wade through the hell. Month after month. Year after year -- you against the nothingness. It's possible, because time is possible.

"No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its ruins. Save those who still can be saved -- I'm on your side."

also all of the skills break my heart in some way for the final dream scene, but volition's is my header for a reason </3

"I can't help you. I am totally useless. Everything I've said is lies. I want the exact same bad things you want. To stand here, like a pillar of salt, saying…"

^ guy who fucking breaks my heart :'] he tries so hard to be strong, to keep your morale and willpower up, but god he is not infallible. for him to admit this. ough... my heart. i love this guy.

i do have other favorite quotes!! Half Light's "You are the first crack in the sheer face of god." and Esprit's "If an assault were launched on this building right now — if the windows came crashing down and the whole world descended upon you — this man would hurl himself in death's way to save you" and Kim's "Every school of thought and government has failed in this city, but I love it nonetheless. It belongs to me as much as it belongs to you." and i also love the silly quotes too and ough. game that is mostly words having a lot of good quotes? who would have guessed!! but yes, the ultimate fave would be the first shivers quote <3

#volta transmissions #ency ref #shivers i love you... voli. smiles about him... wish i had more emmy lines :']#esprit: Zo

Utsukushii Kare (S1, S2, Movie) Live Blogging

I can't believe I'm finally, finally, finally getting around to watching Season 2 and the movie (+ rewatching season 1).

I knew I liked this show well enough and the characters have stayed with me since watching it in 2022 but I didn't realize that Utsukushii Kare is pretty special because it's actually the very first live blogging post I did on this blog. It was February 2022 and now it's 2+ years later March 2024. Before then, I'd maybe tweet a thread of me watching but the tweets would be sparse because I didn't wanna spam people. I think I got the idea because I was writing so many Bad Buddy thoughts (also in Jan-Feb 2022) on my show tracking spreadsheet and that wasn't sustainable lol

Anyway, looking at these is making me remember that I'd been looking forward to season 2 from when I finished watching (from my live blogging ending thoughts) and had anticipated the release of it for months and months. Even more ridiculously, in my show tracking spreadsheet, the only thing I wrote for this show was a link to my live blogging and "If there was a sequel, I'd watch" bruh that's all I had to say and yet I'm finally watching the sequel 2 years later (while the sequel has been out for a year).

Anyway, enough chatter, I think I'm just delaying watching this show because I like season 1 and the characters so much and I'm just... nervous about my expectations.

Utsukushii Kare: Season 1

Probably won't be writing much because I already did the whole live blogging for this.

Also, it's weird that I haven't rewatched this? Why do I remember it so vividly if I haven't rewatched? I occasionally watch a bunch of tiktoks for the show and sometimes people mention it in podcasts, so maybe that's why? I was thinking maybe I'd watched reaction videos but nah, apparently I'd only watched that for 1 account back in April 2022. Once again, I continue to ramble instead of pressing play

Ep 1 (Mar 23)

Watched like 12 minutes before falling asleep

Ah, the fondness is coming back

Ep 2 (Mar 23)

Oh, the group going to Hira's house and the bike riding scene is here? in my head it was later

And the bike riding continues to be an incredible scene

Ep 3 (Apr 17)

Uhhh, I'm back after almost a month lol I think I wanted something much easier without complex dynamics at the time, so I'd watched Destiny Seeker instead

Oh, I'd forgotten about this tense scene after the contest

ahh the masturbation thing lolol

It bothers me that Kiyoi was nice again to those bully boys like why make good with them again? And when you're graduating no less?

that sudden kiss + pushing him hard enough that he falls to the ground + saying "see you again" before leaving really is just terrible and confusing lol

Ah, Hira really was always putting himself down and putting Kiyoi in a pedastal in these episodes + I remembered when somebody pointed out that in Hira's POV, there are many shots where Kiyoi is on elevated ground or taller/higher than Hira, so I noticed a lot of that in this ep

Ep 4 (Apr 17)

ack, the immediate 'stalker' to someone who ppl think is his fan is so T.T

"I want to kneel down at your feet right now" kills me every time

Koyoi's inability to communicate and Hira's idealized view of him are both so just . insane

ahh Kiyoi's POV from next ep

the episode starting with Hira saying "For several insipid years, all I did was grow up." while Kiyoi ends the episode with the same sentence

Ep 5 (Apr 17)

seeing Kiyoi lose his mind over Hira is so cathartic

ough, i forgot this hug that Kiyoi sees

I disliked the other guy more when I first watched it than I do now

Ep 6 (Apr 18)

Oops, went almost the whole day without watching anything

finger sucking scene

Ouch

the conversation at the school is just so good man, like ouch but hopeful

hehe cute biking

Overall:

Ahh, idek why I wasn't Gripped by this rewatch, like I like the characters and dynamics but it wasn't keeping my attention as much, maybe because it's a rewatch? Maybe my original rating of 6.5 was correct and I shouldn't have bumped it up to 7 but who knows, maybe I'll be reintroduced to the brainworms after watching Season 2 because I found ep 6 really engaging and was into it and S2 + movie will have new, unfamiliar stories for me.

Season 2

Ep 1 (Apr 18)

How soon after S1 is this season starting?

akkkk "Are you angry?" "Why?" "Last night I was too persistent" alkdjfasd;lkf

It's weird to realize that like... I'm older than them. I was several years older than them when they were in high school and now I'm probably 1-2 years older than them because Hira said graduation is approaching but it's weird still idk

not Mr. Suspicious lmfaoo

Hira kneeling and crawling around really is just a lot

it's so funny how Hira trembles in Kiyoi's presence because he's apparently standing too close, meanwhile we know for a fact that they canonically fuck

Hira's persistent fear that Kiyoi might die ?!

they're both so constipated in different ways, I'm dying like Hira's extreme lack of confidence about his looks and sense of self vs Kiyoi obviously being in love with him and wanting to reassure him but also not being able to compliment him truthfully and sincerely

Kiyoi's every sentence is a trap lmfao

omg I was so distracted by her, she's gorgeous and I love the outfit and jewelry

Kiyoi seething with jealousy ahh

lolol "today we're gonna do it"

oh my goddd what a good episode, I was giggling and dying and so engaged, I'm glad I love it so far because I was kinda nervous after not being as enamoured by S1

Ep 2 (Apr 19)

ah, i'm clutching my heart, flashback to the scene of when Hira taught Kiyoi about the tea olives or whatever and Kiyoi just desperately wanted Hira to say he likes him

return of Suspicious-kun plss

Is the other guy who's there for Anna gonna be significant? Either as an Anna s/o as well or as a Kiyoi hater maybe?

does Kiyoi want their love life to be more exciting?

aksldfj why are each of them so annoying like Koyoma's being like yeah Hira doesn't shut the fuck up about you and your drama at school while Kiyoi's like "Is Koyoma saying he sees a side of Hira I don't see? Is he trying to assert dominance?" like girl both hira and him are just dumbasses god bless

Koyoma on Kiyoi's ass for freeloading off of Hira and letting Hira do all the housework while he just pursues his acting or whatever ohh

pls Hira treating this shitty food as if it's from Olympus

Ah, Hira joining the photography competition at Kiyoi's encouragement (though the pressure would make me buckle)

Ep 3 (Apr 19)

Hira not making it to the next round of the competition but Kiyoi still being supportive, I needed to see this rn tbh

oh my god this is so sad man, they're literally always just on different lines of thinking because Kiyoi wants to be treated as an equal in the relationship while Hira thinks it would be an insult to think of himself as ever reaching Kiyoi's status

but it's so sad the way Kiyoi wants to obviously be known as Hira's bf (even though they can't) and the way he's hurting knowing that Hira wants Kiyoi and his parents to be completely separate owwww

omg? Hira saying I don't want to understand you? fucked up fr

Their relationship is often somewhat tragic because of their dynamic and how they see themselves and the fact that what they want from the relationship is different but this ep is so sad man

Ep 4 (Apr 19)

ah, good thing Kiyoi came back because they only have 1 episode of 23 mins left and i don't want the ending to be rushed lol

sorry accidentally got the ick when Kiyoi came and ordered Hira to get ginger ale in front of everybody even though ik it's like Dynamics but still why in front of dumbass bullies smhh

Hira not liking Kiyoi saying it's fine if he doesn't get a job after uni bc he can take care of them makes sense but then smiling happily when Kiyoi says "fine, then work like a workhorse and if you mess anything up for me I'll throw you away" is sooooo

huh? Why Hira didn't submit anything?

oh it's a different thing that Hira didn't submit for? Because he did indeed submit for the contest

woah, gasped at the fact that Hira is kneeling but at eye-level/slight higher than Kiyoi instead of lowering himself as much as possible

Hira being fed chocolate by Kiyoi, ah

great, delightful

Overall:

This season is about Hira and Kiyoi's relationship. They didn't become boring after getting together, they didn't magically end up being a perfect happy well-adjusted couple after getting together, nor were there random issues thrown just because; the struggles and hurdles are true to their characters and dynamics.

I was a bit afraid that I'd be meh about it because I was like fine but not Hooked on the S1 rewatch but the S2 was great, for real. I liked the themes and dynamics it explored and their character + relationship development and progression. I also smiled a lot and lost my mind a little at certain moments.

Strong writing, strong characters, strong acting, what a relief.

Rating: 7/10

Movie: Eternal

No clue what the movie is about actually, though there are a few gifsets/moments that I've seen that didn't appear in the series, so much be from here. + I saw one comment saying that Anna and Noguchi are supposed to be there more in the movie. oh also actually?? a kidnapping plot?? i heard it mentioned in a podcast i think

omg they're each recounting how they met the other to their own mentors

not the shrine ?!?! omg

I really don't know how to feel about Anna's fan like do we need to kill him or what?

what does Hira mean by him and Kiyoi drifting apart?

hah the divorce thing is here, I loved the gifset when I saw it and have had it in my likes for Months, gonna finally be able to reblog it

i think i saw a gifset or clip in this bathtub scene and I'm a great enjoyer of people discussing their desire for dubcon/cnc roleplay

Idk if I hate that I keep skipping all their makeouts/allusion to sex scenes like aghhh

I've also seen this part about hira apologizing for not having same free time as Kiyoi and Kiyoi grabbing his face in his hand to say stop apologizing, you've tried your best. i like it a lot

wait are Anna and Noguchi dating? I wanna know who the person Anna was talking about who has her heart but they can rarely meet because they're in the same industry. and it'd have the parallel of Hira wanting to photograph Kiyoi while Noguchi gets to photograph Anna

Noguchi used to be a scenario photographer?

ah, Hira didn't show up to the shoot with Noguchi and Kiyoi

pls why are they both obsessed with this award, he doesn't even have regular professional photography experience c'mon girls

oh, Anna's bf is some random actor from another company.

her fan is being... fine for now.

Aw, Anna

dang, they're bringing Anna to live with Hira's cousin

So does the aunt know that Hira and Kiyoi are like a thing or does she still think their fan/friend lol

Hira saying only Kiyoi is allowed to call him creepy and such because he's special + Kiyoi being like "he's creepy right?" Anna: "yeah" Kiyoi: Hey!

Ouch, yeah Hira saying he doesn't know what to shoot is crazy

Oof, Hira and Anna dating scandal

It must be so funny if you're watching this without knowing about EA celebrity dating culture (though even in SK, actors can date) and being like ? why is this a scandal ?

but i'm unexpectedly getting a celebrity-centric BL without seeking it out, which is great, esp bc when I seek it out I don't tend to find too many which actually give me what I want

random het sob story in the middle of my Utsukushii Kare but I like Anna so I'll allow it for like... 2 minutes

Ah, the kidnapping lol

oh it really is the Anna fan fuckhead aghhh how terrible, he's been off since the start

pls saviour Hira

Hira gets to photograph Kiyoi professionally yay

deciding to have one subject as your photo subject is crazy if you wanna be a professional but alright I'll buy into it

ah, conversation about beauty and age

gorgeous ending

Overall:

Great, fun, though not as emotionally invested as Season 2 because they're in a better place in their relationship in this movie (even if it's not necessarily Perfect). It was interesting to have new people in their lives like Anna and Noguchi and how their stories influenced them. I'm happy with where we're leaving off the characters after ~6h of show/movie.

Rating: 6.5/10

just throwing together some misc alan wake 2 thoughts now that ive slept and had coffee after finishing the game. mostly talking end game, obviously spoilers

alice. alice intrigues me so much. that final stinger is incredible, for multiple reasons. that reveal following the series of photos of her seemingly killing herself is just.. yeah. i think that was not only her way of trying to getting back to alan, who she knew was trapped in the dark place at the bottom of the lake, but it was also to throw scratch off, to think that he won by tormenting her to her death. theres no light flickers in the background of that final video. she is free of scratch, but still clearly safe. maybe back in the dark place, but tbh im not sure if she ever actually escaped it in the first place. shes going to leave the place with alan. she has to, because they are each others rocks. they sink or swim together (it would also explain why she was able to contact saga while she was in the dark place)

speaking of saga, her mind place version of the dark place was just *chefs kiss*. it was an incredible, worked really well to demonstrate not only the power the dark place has on people, but also what kind of a character she really is. strong and independent, but so good to those around her. i really wish we got deeper into her friend and partnership with casey tbh, after hearing about his divorce (which, btw, loved the extremely casual drop about him and estevez just "bonding over their ex wives". amazing job remedy) and especially seeing the birthday photo in the mind place just. my heart. i really wish we got more casey in general, but i guess him being included in the story beats and echo visions as a hardboiled detective just needs to be enough. for now i say knowing full well im gonna dive super deep into fanfics when my brain fog lifts a little ough

my one big question was door. and maybe tim to that extent, considering the last page we read and we never fully got an explanation about doors involvement (im hoping ng+ explains this further?) but it refers to tim as his "unwilling disciple" - obviously tim was moved to the dark place against his will, but at the same time, why exactly and what is he doing? hes been trying to get out, to figure it out, he has a whole whiteboard of theories and yet. it all leads to door. and idk maybe i missed it somehow, but i never fully made that connection as to why and what doors game here is. which leaves me with questions for the next game/sequel/dlc. intriguing, but throwing that in last minute just felt kinda. idk remedy dont do this to me lmao

one thing im admittedly a bit disappointed about was them choosing to sacrifice alan for the ending. i mean i get it, at the point where we think alice is dead and saga makes it very clear that neither casey nor logan can be hurt and that they are both the heroes of the story, theres not much options left. like alan said, the horror story needs a victim. but also idk, i wish we could. have had a choice? multiple endings?? which i guess ng+ teased but we'll see. also it being left unanswered whether we were free from the darkness now or not, which i understand was intentional but idk im still a bit miffed about that one lol. logan not answering the phone. however saga did have a wedding ring on her finger (i did not observe this detail before so idk if it was just always there but it felt very significant in this scene as they didnt show her being lefthanded before so) which makes me think everything did get fixed, considering how badly david hated her during points in the story, so why would she still wear her wedding ring after all those years after what happened if this wasnt the good reality again. just saying

ALSO IM JUST SO GLAD CASEY IS ALIVE. STUPID BASTARD MAN I LOVE HIM SO

"its not a loop, its a spiral" has interesting implications, but i miss "its not a lake, its an ocean" tbh. i feel like that ending revelation held more power to it than this one, it just feels like a rehash for the sake of copying the original. like i get what they mean about this one (its not a constant changing loop, its a developing story moving forward that keeps expanding as it goes even tho it feels like its going in circles), but just as a saying it doesnt stand up to the original. thats all

the way, even if they are sharing a skin, alan and scratch are two different characters (im excluding zane from this equation for reasons as i dont think he was real [im fairly convinced it was scratch playing games with alan just pretending to be zane], but i wanna give special props to ilkka villi for his portrayal. immaculate job) and are written that way. the way they talk, the lines they have, there is a significant difference when you pay attention to it - i think its partially alans way of trying to dodge the blame and put it all on scratch, whereas scratch doesnt do that for himself, hes just trying to play into the emotional manipulation angle with the constant rush instead to get what he wants and to get people on his side and to trust him. which is a really good take, considering that hes using all common scammer tactics to try to fool people into giving him what he wants (also just god the transformation scene when this is revealed? permanently tattooed in my brain that was so goddamn good)

its also a very interesting take that the cult is actually the good guys. i also just love ilmos explanation for it; "what kind of a cult calls themselves a cult" like. yeah. yeah man you got a point there. but that being just a cover and a scare tactic to keep people safe? love that shit that was good (kinda high key mad we didnt get more of them after that. only that one last sad tv commercial, would have loved to give them a good ending too)

also the parallel of alan waking up from getting shot to the head vs earlier zane doing to same thing at the second meeting in the hotel. i havent stopped thinking about it tbh

just. a few thoughts. all in all idk i felt like the ending was missing something tbh. maybe i just missed something, but it feels like it was more of a setup for something in the future with everything than an ending to a full game and a sequel 13 years after the original. i have too many questions left, more than i entered into this mess with. that being said, absolutely loved the game itself, the story is insane and incredible, this has once again rewired the way my brain thinks about stories (plot board my beloved......), theres so much underneath the surface of a survival horror game that cant be explained, it needs to be experienced. there are sequences here that im unable to convey in words and feelings, you need to see them for yourself ("we sing" and the movie theater. iykyk)

just in general that cliffhanger like. why you do me like this remedy. why. i cant wait for 13 years for another sequel. goddamn

the ending tho, im. i dont know. in the first game we knew things were still kinda wrong, but it showed that everyone outside of alan seemingly got out of the things unscathed for the most part (i mean we lost nightingale, rose went kinda loopy, there were signs that not everything and everyone was right but for the most part the town and people in it were safe), but here we dont see any of it. the happy deerfest is nothing but scratch's illusion. so idk if im meant to believe that shooting alan was the fix and everything went back to normal, like normal normal before this man was pulled into the lake, or since he was still seemingly alive after that, are we still living in the happy deerfest illusion forever while the darkness spreads to the land outside of it? i have so many questions and this ending didnt answer a lot of them tbh lmao

theres so much here i cant fit here my brains still very rattled from all of this and i keep getting more questions the longer i think about it so im gonna leave it here. i'll probably see you later with more when ng+ and/or dlc releases, as hopefully those will explain more

10/10, absolutely my game of the year ngl

..one thing to leave you with. fuck the boss fights in this game lmao

#alan wake #alan wake 2 #aw2 spoilers #that is all for now. just. video games man #i have a lot of feelings and idk where to put them or how much sense this makes but here you go #i got more idk feel free to ask something if youre curious i guess lol #night is an absolute mess on main

Prologue

Dib did it.

Dib stands over Zim’s lifeless body, PAK in hand. Life-clock gone up. He stands in shock, not fully registering what happened. As Dib snaps out of it, a slow smile creeps upon his face.

“I-I did it! I a-actually did it!” Dib crows to himself, and laughs. “Zim’s finally gone!”

Dib glances down to look at the PAK in his hands. He considers putting it on his head, but remembering the whole zimvoid ordeal and what happened to Zib, he decides against it.

Ecstatic, his eyes dart towards Zim’s controls. Dib gains the idea to call Zim’s leaders and declare Zim dead, believing that will teach them to fear him, and know not to mess with earth ever again. With a push of a button, he sends a transmission through

“Ugh, what is it this time, Zim?” Red answers, rolling his eyes (or rather, Dib assumes he rolled his eyes, hard to tell with an irken’s eyes).

Dib smacks the PAK down in front of the camera, for the tallest to see. “I must inform you that Zim’s dead,” he declares.

“You killed him?” Red asks, astonished.

“Yes, and--” Dib gets interrupted.

“Thank GOD! He’s FINALLY dead!” Purple celebrates.

“We’ve been trying to kill him for ages!” Red beams.

“Wha, huh?” Dib falters, happiness levels deflating.

“You don’t know how much of a NUISANCE he was!” Purple groans, slouching.

“He had committed so many crimes,” Red growls, looking at his clawed fingers as he remembers every crime Zim had committed. “We had tried to put him on trial once, but of course he managed to get out of that as well.”

“We sent him to a random planet we weren’t even sure existed so that we wouldn’t have to deal with him any more,” Purple shoves popcorn in his mouth and says, muffled, “We were hoping he would die on the way there, but he didn’t.”

“B-but, six months before Zim arrived I heard something about the irken empire ruling every race,” Dib brings up, confused.

“Again, we didn’t know if earth actually existed. Let alone if it had life or not. Every race except the life on earth is more accurate,” Red explains, shrugging

“..oh,” Dib replies, disheartened, and stares at his feet.

“Well if you don’t mind…” Red starts.

“We’re gonna mark this day on our calendar!” Purple finishes.

The two tall irken leaders hang up, leaving a shattered Dib staring at a glowing red screen with a mocking black irken insignia glaring right back at him.

“This was all… for nothing?” Dib ponders to himself out loud. “No, I was also trying to prove alien life exists. But people are too stubborn. If I show Zim’s corpse to the world, will anyone actually believe it?”

If his dad didn’t believe Zim was an alien after he almost destroyed the world, and believes that it was all some weird dream or hallucination, how could anyone believe? Dib stares at the PAK in his hands, and sees his disappointed face in the reflection. Why bother with it anymore? Dib drops the PAK, and with a ‘clang’ it lands next to Zim’s lifeless body. Dib stares at the scene in front of him for a bit longer, then walks out of the room.

As Dib exits through the trash can disguised entrance, he spots a shut-down Gir on the couch.

‘Huh, when Zim died, his robot minion must have shut down along with him,’ Dib thinks. Not being able to fully let go, Dib grabs Gir to keep, and perhaps examine, and walks out the house. People may not believe in aliens, but by examining Gir he can further enhance and improve earth’s own technology. Maybe that way, he can have a purpose in the world.

With one last glance at Zim’s base, Dib heads home, never to see that wretched place again.

---

Down in the underground secret base, it’s quiet. Zim lays lifeless on the floor.

That is, until the PAK lights up.

“Emergency Attachment Protocol,” the PAK says, reattaching itself to Zim.

“Reactivating.”

However, the PAK has been unattached since long after the life clock was up, so it’s going to take some years…

Type: series, soulmate AU series (part 1, part 2) x Supernatural

Pairing: Steve Rogers x reader (past?) Word count: 3400

Summary: Steve’s a bit difficult (poor baby), not that anyone blames him. Sam Wilson makes a confession – sort of.

A/N: dropping the chapter early, because I won’t have time to post for a bit

Story masterlist

༻༺༻༺༻ღ༺༻༺༻༺

The mission hadn’t been a shitshow, surprisingly enough, but the reports to Fury had been. Natasha had spent the rest of the day, whole night and a better portion of the next day at the SHIELD HQ, having to deal with everything, because Stark had quite literally fled. To be fair, he had at least taken care of Steve’s still unconscious and very much muscular (read ‘really fucking heavy’) form.

Tired and annoyed, Natasha finally landed with small jet at the Tower, making her way to her room, wishing nothing more but to shower and get some fucking sleep.

Of course, walking through the common room, she should have known she wouldn’t be that lucky.

She heard his icy yet somewhat cheery voice before she even saw him and it made her stop in her tracks, dreading facing him. She was too tired for his reproaches now.

“AH! There she is!”

Natasha took a deep breath, closing her eyes and mentally counting to three.

“Here’s ‘ur soulmate ex-pert!” Steve howled again, making her heart clench.

Black Widow was not a coward, but neither her nor Natasha liked dealing with feelings too directly – the jet was enough to get her fill for several years prior. She scanned the room before she would settle on him – and sure enough, she and Steve weren’t alone.

Bruce was standing indecisively by the door, torn and helpless expression on his face, his eyes one big question mark, asking Natasha how the hell he was supposed to deal with that.

Good question, Bruce, good question.

The smell of booze and Steve’s demeanour were unmistakable, but she silently asked anyway.

“Is he…?”

“Yeah. He… uhm… he found Thor’s stash,” the scientist answered her in equally hushed voice, inconspicuously pointing towards the counter where three flasks lay, emptied. Jesus.

Steve apparently heard and saw them anyway, because his voice bellowed again in reaction to their conversation. His words were slurred.

“Goooood friend Thor. Thou’ he t’ied to take my g’l. Nooot a g’d friend. Baaaad, bad friend.”

“Oh bozhe moy…” Natasha whispered under her breath and Steve turned to her, looking almost excited to see her.

Which didn’t mean he didn’t look like absolute shit. He had a t-shirt stained with the alcohol, his eyes red-rimmed, bruise-like dark circles under them as if he hadn’t slept for a year.

She hadn’t thought he could get worse than in the quinjet. Clearly, she was wrong.

“’tasha! Greeeeat ‘dvice you gave me,” he exclaimed, trying to rise from his spot on the couch where he had been half-lying like a dead fish casted ashore.

Natasha resisted the urge to massage her temples as the headache started to build. She tried to ignore the sinking feeling in her stomach at the audible edge to his voice, the accusation glaring at her from his eyes.

“Steve…”

He finally stumbled to his feet and she noticed another flask secured in his right hand. He held it out as if he was pointing at her.

“Tried wat’ you s-said. Hurts,” he hiccupped, the sound blending with a sob. He cleaned his nose with the back of his hand hastily. “S-saw her grave. Fuck it hurts… ‘dis thing’s good ‘ough.”

Natasha bit the inside of her cheek, her mind racing. She didn’t need to call anyone for advice now. Her friend was shitfaced. The only thing she could do was to get him to bed and try not to antagonize him or trigger something worse than… whatever this was. She wasn’t sure if moving on from being snowed under work – voluntarily – was more or less healthy than drinking himself into oblivion. But she counted any change that wasn’t a step towards a suicide (possibly assisted by the last of Hydra goons) like a progress.

“Is he drunk?” Tony’s incredulous voice ringed from the doorway and Natasha didn’t even bother spinning on her heels to him, hearing him enter and close the distance between them as he stopped at her side. “Cap?”

Blood froze in Natasha’s veins and she was swift to call out, but it was too late. “No- don’t call-!”

So much for not triggering him and making it worse. She could see how he suddenly stood straighter as if he swallowed a wooden ruler, and an indefinable expression appeared on his face.

She gulped in anticipation of a storm.

“Cap!” he called out, mimicking Tony and the billionaire realized his mistake, judging by the silent dammit that left his lips. Steve raised the flask in a mock toast, turning around and nearly tipping over his feet. “Captain ‘merica! What a heeero! Cheers to him!” He took a long sip before continuing, his gestures animated. “Swin’ in, safe th’m all! Kill his g’l, why ‘ven care… hero, murd’r, potato, tomatho…” his voice slurred into a murmur, until he spotted a newcomer and came to life again. “Ah! Hey, Clint!”

Clint was quick to understand the situation and it took one glance at Natasha for them to agree what needed to be done. He approached Steve cautiously with his features emotionless.

“We should get you to bed-“

“Nope! No!” Steve howled instantly, taking several steps backwards to get out of Clint’s reach. His expression was dark, tears welling in his eyes. “Smell like h’r. Not ‘nymore. Hurts!” he sobbed, pressing the heel of his hand to his forehead, his figure swaying dangerously as he closed his eyes and lost the visual control of his balance. “Hurts!”

“Come on, Steve…” Clint coaxed him gently, attempting to close the distance between them again. His gaze flickered to Bruce and Tony and they took few steps towards Steve as well.

“Nope! Gotta-ta sssay sm’thin’!” Christ, Natasha had never seen him like this and she wanted to bleach both her eyes and ears. He pointed the flask at Clint resolutely. “You knew. You warn h’r. Fuck-fuck up. Shouldva told- I ain’t gettin’ killed. I kill h’r.”

“Steve…” Natasha approached him as well, grimacing when she saw the flash of emotion on Clint’s face.

Steve spun to her immediately, this time accusing her. “And you! Gooood job. Pushin’ us togthe’. You kill h’r too.”

“Hey! Watch it!” Tony snapped at him, running out of patience, but Natasha knew Steve didn’t quite mean it. Pushing them together wasn’t her fault – the fact she had tranquilized him was her sin and she was aware he had the right to be mad at her.

“Your friggin’ ‘stem! You too- n’t fly fast ’nough!“

“Steve, you’re wasted. You’re going to bed before you say more things you regret,” Bruce said calmly after Steve managed to finish his roll and blame another person.

Bruce speaking up gave the captain a pause and he looked like his brain froze. His brows knitted together and he nodded, another sob erupting from his throat, his inhale shaking his whole being as he crossed the distance to Bruce, murmuring.

“Regert. Her. My folt, no yours. Kill h’r. Miss her. Shouldva s-s-saved her. Pick h’r… love h’r. Hurts. Hurts s’much…”

Steve’s large frame enveloped Bruce, resting his whole impressive weight on him. The scientist was nearly tripped over – except a hint of green flushed his neck, Hulk coming to rescue before the other men and Natasha rushed to help. Steve went completely limp, the flask falling to the ground, the little liquid remaining in it spilling and staining the carpet. No one cared as they tried to support the supersoldier’s goo-like body, exchanging desperate glances.

“Well, that was… enlightening,” Tony summarized, his poor attempt at joke that not even he apparently believed in barely gaining any reaction.

Clint sighed. “Please, this is hardly any news. We knew he blamed himself.” He readjusted Steve’s arm he had slung around his shoulders and Tony’s right side of suit came to the rescue, taking most of the weight off from the billionaire. “I hate this, but I think he needs this.”

Natasha wasn’t so sure about that, but yeah, Steve definitely needed to start accepting the reality. It was probably a natural reaction to want to dull the pain with something else when work was off limits. She pressed her lips together as their whole grouped slowly made their way to Steve’s room.

“Let’s just get him to bed.”

༻༺༻༺༻ღ༺༻༺༻༺

Not many people could probably brag they had Black Widow’s number. Well, probably no one could, because if they told a living soul, they’d meet their end. So Sam Wilson didn’t brag. And he sure as hell didn’t call her first.

That said, he did not hesitate when she called him with location and time to meet, no greeting, no goodbye. Rude, but he’d take it. He had more than one reason, not that he would advertise it.

So there he was, sipping coffee from a take-away cup as he sat in Central Park with Black Widow, both of them having the best super-spy disguise; sunglasses and baseball caps.

The silence between them was getting awkward and Sam couldn’t take the tension anymore.

“Well, this is much more… civil than our last meeting,” he noted casually, hating to admit he was… nervous.

“I’m not gonna say sorry,” Ms.Romanoff hummed back, sipping her latté.

“Guess I wouldn’t expect that…”

He didn’t expect her to face him either but she did, a reminiscence of a sad smile gracing her lips. The warmth around his heart was familiar and not entirely unwelcomed. He found himself longing after seeing her whole face.

“I’m saying thank you, though.”

Huh.

“Didn’t expect that either,” he admitted and one corner of her lips rose higher in a smirk. Sam had a hunch she loved surprising people – or rather shocking them. “How did it go?”

She huffed out a sound that could only mean frustration and Sam grimaced. Confrontation usually didn’t go very good, but this sounded awful.

“That well, huh?”

“No, no…” she shook her head, red curls swaying around her head elegantly. “He’s… an asshole. He fell asleep on a mission. In a cockpit. When he was piloting. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but God bless Stark’s inventions and auto-piloting,” she grunted and removed the cap of her cup before taking a long sip of her coffee.

She seemed to be gathering thoughts. Sam might not be able to see her eyes, but he did learn to read people. She didn’t like talking about feelings, but she was making an exception. Whether it was because of him, because of his job or because she wished to help her friend so badly, that remained a mystery. Either was pleasing though, the action itself intriguing Sam.

He had given her a lot of thought after their first unconventional meeting. He could not get her out of his head and for a good reason, of course.

He came to a conclusion that… despite her manners, she probably wasn’t a bad person. There were rumours about her past, but everyone had one. She was with the Avengers now, getting clean and the present and willingness to fix mistakes often mattered more than what had been done – especially when it came to a past like her own. Sam had made living by helping people dealing with their past actions and failures; judging her would be a hypocrisy and as far as he knew, he was a killer too. And if it came to it, he would punch, sliced or shot his way out again.

“It’s just… he’s… he’s really at the bottom,” she Natasha spoke softly, emotions lacing her voice. Regret. Compassion. Helplessness. Sam knew all those too well. “Seeing him going from one mission to another just to pass out in exhaustion was bad enough, because I knew it was wrong, but… seeing him drink himself into oblivion? One time only, but it was a nightmare. And seeing Steve doing nothing? Struggling to find a purpose, himself… that’s just…”

“It sucks. But he has a good friend in you. He needs time.”

“I know that, it’s… I wish there was someone hurting him so I could just punch them in their face and call it a day. But that one guy blew himself to hell and the others just… don’t really matter, getting them doesn’t do much help to Steve.”

Sam couldn’t help but smile softly as she said Captain’s name. It held a meaning – he was clearly dear to her and it went way beyond professional relationship. Not that the fact alone that she had shown up at Sam’s apartment the way she had wasn’t enough of an evidence. Not to mention her surprising openness.

“It’s a long way to recovery, Natasha.”

Her first name just slipped past his lips unwittingly, but he didn’t feel like apologizing. The informal space they found themselves in, the honest open conversation… first names suited it better. He was aware he sounded like he was speaking from experience on top of that, but it wasn’t like she didn’t know. She had done a thorough research on him.

As if she agreed with him feeling his surroundings and the atmosphere, she put away her glasses, her green eyes burning with honesty when she met his – he automatically lost the barrier too, because it felt unjust for her to be left… vulnerable like that.

“I’m truly sorry about poking at your past, Sam,”

Sam felt the last remains of hostility towards her resolve. That apology meant more than he had realized it would.

“Thanks. I get it, you know. Being worried for someone so much… he’s gonna be okay, eventually. Scarred, but okay.”

“He could be better than that…” she sighed, leaning onto the backrest of the bench tiredly.

“What was that?”

“When I confronted him on the plane… he told me he had another words,” she revealed hesitantly as if she wasn’t sure if it was her secret to tell.

Sam’s heart positively stopped. Was she telling the truth or was this a game? Did she know about his own too? He swallowed the panic when he saw her resigned gaze.

She wasn’t playing no game.

“Two soulmates. That’s rare,” he remarked, a lump growing in his throat. His palms started sweating and he hated it. Fortunately, Natasha didn’t seem to notice – or she politely ignored it, her voice dry and laced with a bit of irritation.

“He never wants to meet her.”

“That’s not rare.”

Sam would know. He had struggled with the same feeling, after all. He wanted to forget the world existed. He wanted to live peacefully and alone. It was probably no coincidence fate sent him Black freaking Widow as the one – if she was willing, Sam would not be alone. And definitely wouldn’t get ‘peace’.

If he was being truly honest with himself, he wouldn’t be able to say he minded.

“He thinks… he thinks he doesn’t deserve her or something.”

Sam sighed, mentally chuckling at the irony of fate once more. The Universe did have a messed up sense of humour, didn’t it?

“Because he thinks he blew his chance. Because he thinks that he will mess it up again and fail her. And it feels like being unfaithful,” he offered, venting his own feelings for the first time.

He had never told that to anyone, ashamed of the set of words sitting on his other collarbone, appearing shortly after Riley’s death. Why did he tell her of all people? He wanted to question his own actions, he barely knew the woman, but… there was a significant but, wasn’t there?

Her emerald eyes were searching on his face, recognition lighting them up. She fidgeted, something he hadn’t seen her do before and he was sure not many people had either. It was a privilege and while his heart started racing, seeing her nervous eased his own nerves the tinniest bit.

“…yeah. I guess. You… uhm, you dealt with someone like that too?” she asked, looking away, seemingly intrigued by something in the distance.

Sam didn’t buy it and swallowed loudly.

“Just one case in my whole carrier.”

“What did you tell them?” she queried gently, her shoulders tense.

Sam shrugged. He told himself a lot of things, but he wasn’t certain they were all presentable.

“Never figured it out. First, the meeting with his other soulmate was a bit unconventional. He kinda hated her,” he admitted, glancing at her with the corner of his eye. She gave almost an inconspicuous nod, her gaze casted down. She took it as a rejection, he realized. “Then he started thinking and realized she wasn’t too bad. He’s still struggling to make up his mind – whether he should try. Whether she would want to. She would be a catch though, no doubt,” he lighted it up, biting the inside of his cheek right after.

Was he really trying to flirt now?

One corner of her lips rose in a smirk. “Somehow I doubt that. Sounds like a bitch.”

Sam wanted to chuckle at the joke, but then her eyes lifted to him and his heart just… stopped, the amused sound stuck in his throat. He had to clear it to be able to speak up, but it did nothing under the intensity of her gaze.

“Not to me. Not anymore.”

Natasha licked her lips – and Sam would lie if he claimed he did not mirror the motion instinctively – and finished her drink.

“Wouldn’t do that if I were you, huh? That must have been a pleasant surprise when it appeared,” she stated, a hint of amusement along with relief that the secret, the whatever that had been hanging between them, was finally addressed.

Sam snorted, not necessarily because he found his next statement funny.

“Yeah and I bet growing up in Russia and have an English soulmark must have been walk in a park.”

Good, there was so much sarcasm in his voice he might even feel ashamed. But the redhead – his second soulmate, holy shit, it really happened – didn’t seem to be offended.

“Wow, this almost beats the way Steve met his and that was some story….”

“Yeah, I bet.”

Silence fell on them then, both of them unsure how to continue and where to go from here. They found each other – their other half, supposedly, but no one could tell the outcome.

She was an Avenger. Sam was a therapist, a veteran at ridiculously young age, because he had lost his partner. They had a perfect example of how wrong it could go, served on silver plate – it was how they had met for God’s sake. But once again – Sam would lie when saying he didn’t miss some of the adrenalin. He did. A lot, actually.

The reason he had left the field was his soulmate. Was there any better reason to get back in when the need would rise, than another soulmate?

“Do you want to explore this?” Sam broke the uncomfortable silence, lacking the courage to look at her expression. The tension in her shoulders he could almost feel told him enough. He didn’t want to see her rejection. Did he want to see her agreement though?

“Do you?” she hummed back, staring ahead just like him.

“That’s the million dollar question.”

Riley had been… his everything. But could he ignore something like this? Could he ignore the opportunity, a woman who was no doubt fabulous and he was already finding interesting and that apparently was matching his sense of humour? Did he believe in fate? Did he have the right to try again?

Deep down, Sam knew he had already made his mind about it. Now it only depended on her.

“But I keep telling everyone to move on,” he mused out loud, catching her gaze. “Try to live. Some do. Neither of them had the… advantage of having another soulmate if we can call it that.”

Small smile appeared on Natasha’s lips, new twinkle lighting up her eyes and Sam knew he had made the right decision, no matter the outcome.

He didn’t complain when she rose to her feet to clearly leave though – they had enough to deal with today, they needed more time to think of how to approach this.

“Okay. Okay then… You have my number. Call me,” she offered simply, saying goodbye only with a nod and spun on her heels.

“Oh, I will!”

She casted a flirty grin over her shoulder and Sam found himself smiling.

“Hey, you bowl?” he blurted out the first idea that came to his mind and this time she stopped in her tracks, her smile turning almost wolfish. It might have done a thing to his crotch.

“I do, but you can’t run crying when I beat you!” she smirked and gave him a wink, hips swaying as she left him behind.

His laughter sounded like a soundtrack to her catwalk.

Cheeky lady. Sam kinda liked her.

Might GMO Meals Perhaps Finish The Life?

"Let meals end up being thy medication as well as medication end up being thy food" ~ Hippocrates

We will discover the actual Professional as well as Negatives associated with GMO meals that are genetically altered through presenting microorganisms DNA through additional varieties. A few large number of views through PhDs, Environmentalists, as well as Silencil maqui berry farmers right now upward within hands and also the suppliers such as Monsanto as well as their own near connections using the federal government and also the Meals as well as Medication Management that inform us which GMO meals tend to be therefore secure, there isn't any cause in order to actually reveal GMO meals about the product packaging from the meals all of us purchase as well as eat every day.

Estimations tend to be which 60% in order to 70% associated with prepared meals upon Ough. Utes. food racks possess genetically altered elements. The most typical GMO meals tend to be soybeans, maize, 100 % cotton as well as rapeseed essential oil which include the majority of the packed meals that contains hammer toe and/or high-fructose hammer toe syrup present in the majority of the actual breakfast every day cereals, the majority of treats, as well as the actual soda pops all of us consume. Additionally, it consists of meals through GMO soybeans including a few infant meals and several meals produced from cottonseed as well as canola natural oils will probably possess genetically altered elements.

The united states may be the Just Nation doesn't need GMO Meals Marking

The actual query is the reason why is actually The united states may be the just nation on the planet that does not need the actual marking associated with GMO meals or even much better, the reason why it's actually essential for the actual chemical substance organization Monsanto in order to genetically alter meals which are the existence bloodstream in our living, and many significantly may then they end up being secure to take?

The actual Architectural Process within the GMO Meals Hereditary Architectural

Hereditary Architectural begins along with a few considered to have a chilly drinking water flounder gene as well as place this right into a tomato harvest therefore the harvest might endure cooler temps. In the event that this particular seems like Frankenstein it's, however a whole lot worse simply because Frankenstein had been just about all 1 varieties, however exactly what the actual daylights, in the event that this functions, exactly what might the issue end up being?

The next thing is actually scarier due to the just method to find the DNA from the flounder gene to the tomato gene is actually exactly what? What's proficient at invading tissue? Germs as well as Infections tend to be experts from this. This required Monsanto 12 many years, however they lastly discovered the dirt bacteria which was normally proof in order to Monsanto's pesticide Roundup, the chemical substance toxin the industry minor variance of the WW lmost all deadly neural gasoline as well as Vietnam's Broker Lemon.

After they recombine the actual microbial DNAs, this particular recombined microbial DNA has the capacity to permeate the actual cellular wall space. Another 2 choices associated with placing this particular recombined DNA to the plant's genetics utilizes electrical surprise in order to break open cellular wall space along with microscopic holes to feed after which there is the actual Gene Weapon that blasts the actual recombined DNA to the tissue upon moment contaminants associated with precious metal.

The actual Frankenstein GMO Meals Harvest

This particular development from the Frankenstein harvest using their tissue incorporated along with recombined DNA prospects all of us towards the element that's therefore frightening which it's authorization through the federal government associated with Wa DC might be simply irresponsibly self-serving.

Little bit, this will get much more intimidating simply because to be able to trigger the actual recombined DNA, another marketer gene can also be incorporated to make use of as an ignition change for that focus on gene. This particular marketer gene that is usually the Cauliflower Mosaic Computer virus might not usually restrict by itself in order to simply impacting the actual meant recombined gene. Due to the Mosaic Virus' powerful advertising impact, there might be unintentional genetics started up along with unintentional devastating outcomes, such as most cancers tissue or even additional disfiguring existence intimidating growths or even ailments.

GMO Meals Security Uses Wait around and find out Strategy

There's a actual likelihood how the intro associated with international virus' as well as germs DNA within vegetation as well as creatures might change towards all of us simply because this particular GMO meals technologies reaches this type of nanoscopic dimension which the majority of the technologies uses wait around and find out strategy. Simply no 1 however understands the actual lengthy variety results associated with utilizing germs as well as computer virus DNA in order to genetically professional vegetation so they might endure the actual lethal toxin Roundup. There's also a wait around and find out method of the results of the toxin slipping towards the floor getting into the actual groundwater as well as atmosphere because runoff, particularly since maqui berry farmers tend to be recognizing how the much more these people make use of Roundup, the greater they need to utilize it within increasing quantities.

Might GMO Meals turn out to be much more Frightening?

Have you been considering exactly how might something you have simply study obtain anymore frightening? It is because these types of Frankenstein staple GMO meals harvest seed products tend to be trademarked as well as possessed through the Monsanto Company, consequently every early spring, the actual maqui berry farmers should purchase these types of "patented" seed products through Monsanto, and also the super gallons associated with Roundup they have to squirt the actual Monsanto plants because they develop. The actual Monsanto Company purely prohibits the actual preserving associated with seed products because maqui berry farmers possess usually carried out as well as monitors lower as well as sues the actual maqui berry farmers that make an effort to. Actually, Monsanto models a good yearly spending budget associated with $10 zillion along with a employees seventy five plantation investigators dedicated exclusively in order to looking into as well as prosecuting maqui berry farmers. There are lots of instances every year associated with nuisance towards maqui berry farmers more than supposed unauthorized utilization of their own GMO seedling items even though these people blew within about the blowing wind through an additional plantation.

This isn't the very first time the federal government offers Humiliated in order to All of us

We have been informed because the center of the final hundred years which including Fluoride to the h2o might avoid teeth rot also it wasn't bad for people. It's used all of us 70 in addition many years to understand which we have been humiliated in order to. Presently there is actually, absolutely no enhancement within stopping teeth rot as well as there's gathering information associated with it's dangerous as well as damaging results upon people. Fluoride isn't officially the GMO Meals simply because it doesn't genetically alter water all of us consume, however it is definitely an additional procedure producing numerous rich. It will absolutely nothing associated with exactly what these people guaranteed and it is wrecking the actual life associated with a lot of residing in regions of fluoridated seas when compared with individuals places as well as nations which have declined in order to fluoridate their own seas.

Have you been Acquainted with The current Specialists Disclaimers upon Fluoridation?

John Connett, PhD within biochemistry and biology said that after historians arrived at come up with this era, they'll pick out fluoridation since the solitary greatest error in public places plan which we have ever endured. Obviously, that could quickly end up being overshadowed through GMO Meals.

Donald Kennedy, DDS as well as Leader Worldwide Academy associated with Dental Medication as well as Toxicology left a comment which within the background from the earth drinking water fluoridation may be the solitary biggest situation associated with medical scams, marketed through the federal government, backed through taxpayer bucks, assisted as well as abetted through the ADA and also the AMA, Fascinating simply because we now have the actual FDA advertising the actual popularity associated with GMO meals.

Charles Gordon Heyd, MARYLAND, as well as Leader from the AMA had been appalled in the prospective client associated with utilizing drinking water like a automobile with regard to medicines. He or she experienced which fluoride is really a corrosive toxin that could create severe results on the lengthy variety foundation and also to make use of drinking water by doing this had been merely deplorable.

M. Alesen, MARYLAND as well as Leader from the Ca Healthcare Organization promoters which absolutely no doctor within their correct thoughts might actually hands in order to their individual the bottled full of a few harmful medication along with directions to consider just as much or even very little from it because he or she wanted. He's worried why the general public Wellness Support is actually involved on their own common propaganda plan in order to demand which towns perform precisely which? Doctor. Alesen had been sure the objective of giving fluoride wasn't in order to make water provide real as well as potable however in order to ruin this having a harmful as well as poisonous medication with regards to giving bulk medicine towards the customer with no smallest respect for their grow older or even health.

Albert Schatz, PhD Nobel Laureate with regard to finding streptomycin offers indicated their issue which fluoridation is the foremost scams which has have you been perpetrated upon individuals as well as thinks it's been perpetrated upon much more individuals compared to every other scams offers. Obviously fluoridation may be a 2nd price scams because individuals may alternative fluoridated drinking water as well as toothpaste, although not therefore very easily replaced is actually just about any GMO meals item about the racks.

Dean Burk, PhD using the Nationwide Most cancers Start offers surprised all of us using the figure which much more individuals possess passed away within the last thirty many years through most cancers associated with fluoridation compared to all of the army fatalities within the whole background associated with america. Because incredible because this particular figure is actually, it is absolutely nothing when compared to proven fact that these people nevertheless fluoridate drinking water, or even which practically everybody in the usa has become sick as well as overweight which might be the actual GMO meals factor.

A good Environment Safety Company scientist, Doctor. Robert Carton within 1999 learned that fluoridation had been the best situation associated with medical scams of the hundred years, otherwise ever. Doctor. Carton right now must arrive on together with his viewpoint upon GMO meals.

Monsanto's Protection associated with Genetically Architectural the Meals Plants

GMO businesses such as Monsanto possess statements with regard to GMO Meals that are launched right here, however do not these people eerily run into such as individuals "claims" which fluoridated drinking water wasn't dangerous and can avoid dental care rot that we have now understand to become completely fraudulent? Monsanto statements which the current worldwide populace approaching 7 million individuals as well as developing a sufficient meals provide may be a issue consequently their own GMO meals are essential to satisfy this particular need in many methods:

Within Insect opposition, developing GMO meals for example Bt hammer toe might help get rid of the use of chemical substance pesticides such as Roundup however Bt hammer toe continues to be the GMO Meals using the pesticide within this. These people make use of a contaminant made by the actual Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria that functions just like a pesticide. Monsanto began placing these types of genetics that signal for that contaminant straight into the actual hereditary signal from the hammer toe as well as should also incorporate a portion of marketer gene signal which may motivate the actual hammer toe to create the actual contaminant. Additionally they place the gun gene that could supply in order to monitor as well as determine altered hammer toe.

With regard to Herbicide threshold, Monsanto includes a stress associated with soybeans genetically altered to become untouched through their own herbicide item Roundup, Through deterioration vegetation as well as advertising illness, the actual chemical substance glyphosate referred to as Roundup starts the doorway to a lot of difficulties within the atmosphere based on Doctor. Wear Huber associated with Purdue College. Using glyphosate Roundup is actually documented to build up forty illnesses within harvest vegetation as well as this particular quantity keeps growing because individuals arrived at much more identify the actual organization in between glyphosate as well as illness.

Being Illness opposition from the numerous infections, fungus as well as germs which trigger grow illnesses, consequently it seems sensible which Monsanto try to produce vegetation they might genetically professional in order to opposition in order to these types of illnesses. In the event that this particular had been truly feasible, they might likewise genetically professional most of us to ensure that all of us as well turn out to be proof in order to our illnesses. Just how can these people be prepared to genetically professional vegetation in order to avoid illnesses once the hereditary architectural by itself may expose illnesses?

To build up Chilly threshold utilizing an antifreeze gene through chilly drinking water seafood that's been launched in to cigarettes as well as spud vegetation, however this particular nevertheless has not tackled the problem how the seafood genetics tend to be launched to the transgenic grow genetics while using recombined DNA through infections as well as germs. Any kind of unintentional outcomes through simply this particular tend to be along with feasible unintentional outcomes in the extra required marketer "kick-starting" gene which nobody is actually however certain exactly what otherwise this particular marketer gene may stop begin within the human being customer of those GMO meals.

Making Drought threshold as well as Salinity threshold vegetation that may endure drought along with a higher sodium content material within the dirt as well as groundwater is a good objective however, right here as well maqui berry farmers have been carrying this out for hundreds of years via picky reproduction without having genetically architectural all of them. Most of all, Monsanto isn't declaring right here which they have actually had the opportunity to get this done which makes it a part of which azure skies they are piece of art to possess all of us believe they are upon a few prosperous route.

To improve Nourishment simply because malnutrition is actually typical almost everywhere individuals are not consuming wholesome as well as particularly within lesser nations that mainly depend for a passing fancy harvest for example grain for his or her primary staple associated with diet plan. Monsanto really wants to genetically professional grain for instance in order to include extra minerals and vitamins to make a type of a good all-in-one grow which seems appealing. However once again, recombining Computer virus as well as germs DNA as well as placing all of them using the marketer as well as gun transgenic genetics in to vegetation all of us consume to ensure that even though they might acquire these types of uncertain outcomes, may these people end up being secure in order to absorb in to human being physiques without having unintentional unwanted unwanted effects?

As well as would you think we want much more Drugs? Medications as well as vaccines tend to be pricey to create however much more pricey to promote because observed through the numerous pharmaceutical drug advertisements upon TELEVISION twenty-four-seven. Monsanto is actually trying to create tomato plants as well as taters because a different one dosage suits just about all, regardless of whether you'll need this or even not really shipping program just as all of us toxin ourself with this 1 dosage associated with fluoride suits just about all in most decrease associated with drinking water as well as toothpaste. Exactly the same GMO meals grow dose might pressured on babies, small children, teens, grown ups as well as grandma and grandpa as well that just about all occur to consume the tomato or even possess pasta for lunch, as well as exactly what pharmaceutical drug organization does not would like this particular?

We're able to begin by using designed vegetation as well as trees and shrubs to get rid of or even reduce the effects of pollutants within contaminated dirt or even groundwater referred to as Phytoremediation. Dirt as well as groundwater air pollution is unquestionably an issue all around the globe. Poplar trees and shrubs happen to be genetically designed to assist cleanup heavy metal and rock air pollution through polluted dirt as well as here's 1 location in the event that this functions, will be congratulated simply because all of us do not usually consume trees and shrubs.

GMO Meals Background

The very first in a commercial sense developed genetically altered GMO meals harvest came into being within the earlier 1990s having a tomato called the actual FlavrSavr through Calgene, the industry Ca organization along with Monsanto possession because 1996. The actual hereditary architectural changed the actual tomato in order that it required lengthier in order to decay other than this didn't market nicely consequently final lengthy about the grocery store racks since it had been unacceptably dull.

A number of our Government's personal medical advisors had been worried more than feasible damaging wellness results, however this particular didn't avoid as well as hold off the federal government through signing the actual GMO tomato and additional made the decision which GMO meals generally wouldn't need pre-market authorization despite the fact that Doctor Arpad Pusztai from the Rowett Investigation Start within 1996 released their investigation recommending which GMO taters altered having a snowdrop grow insecticide gene had been poisonous in order to rodents within giving tests.

An individual Viewpoint upon GMO Meals

From the individual viewpoint are not all of us surprised, appalled as well as upset this info may be intentionally hidden through all of us through individuals federal government companies billed along with safeguarding all of us?

About the good be aware may be the awaking attention towards the hazards associated with GMO meals because observed through the huge developing quantity of documentaries that are available on all the free of charge as well as compensated movie systems such as Netflix for instance. The meals provide as well as what we should consume is actually these days most likely the main topic with regard to documentaries, each one of these another viewpoint upon precisely how harmful the actual Hereditary Architectural in our plants tend to be. High of all of them tend to be about the total insufficient any kind of actual validation besides for that Monsanto Company in order to obvious as well as personal the meals seed products therefore making maqui berry farmers to purchase from their store every early spring that right now additionally involves need increasingly more associated with it's poisonous chemical substance Roundup to create all of them develop.

GMO Meals don't have to end up being tagged in the united states simply because Monsanto offers fought against difficult to avoid marking laws and regulations. This really is particularly worrying because the majority of the prepared meals about the food racks as well as freezers possibly tend to be or even include GMO elements. As well as we are the actual poor mother and father with this nation simply because numerous countries such as europe, Asia, The far east, Korea, Sydney as well as Brand new Zealand just about all possess required GMO Meals marking so they will not unconsciously function GMO meals for their kids.

Monsanto's GMO Meals Viewpoint

The turning doorway is available in between Monsanto as well as the federal government regulating as well as judicial physiques producing their own self-serving deceptive choices. Within 1992, after that Vice Leader Serta Quayle introduced the actual FDA's anti customer right-to-know plan that mentioned which GMO meals do not need to end up being tagged neither safety-tested. It was within the arguments of numerous notable researchers such as Arpad Pusztai as well as Gilles-Eric Seralini that promoted their own worrying investigation exposing the actual serious harm to monkeys as well as laboratory rodents given GMO meals such as: sanitation, most cancers, miscarriages, allergic reactions, seizures, as well as passing away.

Monsanto additionally experienced powerful scarves towards the George Watts. Rose bush management such as Steve Ashcroft, Jesse Rumsfeld, Ann Veneman, Tommy Thompson as well as Rights Clarence Jones who had been the Monsanto Company lawyer within the 1970s hired towards the Best Courtroom through George Rose bush Sr. within 1990 exactly where he or she authored most viewpoint within the 2001 Best Courtroom choice which made the way in which with regard to Monsanto in order to obvious as well as personal seed products

Within an additional instance, Monsanto lobbyist Erina Ur. Taylor remaining Monsanto to operate with regard to an attorney attaining FDA authorization associated with Monsanto's synthetic growth hormones within the 1980s. Then grew to become the actual deputy commissioner from the FDA through 1991 in order to 1994 whenever rBGH had been given authorization. He or she had been hired Older Agent towards the Meals & Medication Management (FDA) Commissioner upon meals security last year through Leader Barack Obama.

Doctor. Erina The. Friedman had been the deputy commissioner from the FDA prior to he or she had been employed like a older vice leader associated with Monsanto. Linda T. Fisher had been a good helper manager from america Environment Safety Company (EPA) prior to being a vice leader from Monsanto through 1995-2000. Fisher after that grew to become the actual Deputy Manager from the EPA within 2001.

Probably the most devious of those intertwining associations may be the actual previous Assistant associated with Protection Jesse Rumsfeld below each Leader Kia as well as Leader George Rose bush. He or she had been the actual chairman as well as ceo associated with Grams. Deb. Searle & Company. the pharmaceutical drug organization that Monsanto bought within 1985 such as a few ghoulish intend to earn money very first through sickening all of us along with GMO Meals after which enjoying the actual pharmaceutical drug earnings about the back again aspect.

Within This summer 08, Monsanto introduced it's programs to boost the typical cost of the GMO hammer toe types $95-100 for each tote, an astounding 35%, in order to best $300 for each tote despite the fact that the 1999 overview of Roundup Prepared soybean plants discovered which when compared to best traditional types, these people really experienced the 6. 7% reduce deliver.

Mr. James Stokes from the Business with regard to Aggressive Marketplaces (OCM) explains the actual ramifications with regard to the current maqui berry farmers observing exactly how this particular ridiculous $100 cost improve on the player that farming 1, 000 miles for instance, for any major elevated price in excess of $40, 000. But, there's the actual perhaps reduce deliver therefore, exactly where is actually any kind of medical foundation in order to warrant this particular cost backpack keeping accurate with regard to additional GM plants too? In only 24 months through 2006 in order to 08, the typical cost with regard to soybean seedling, the biggest GMO Meals harvest in the united kingdom offers increased through a lot more than 50%, through $32. thirty in order to $49. twenty three for each grown acre.

Almost any meals all of us purchase that contains natural oils is actually possibly likely to end up being Monsanto GMO soy, Monsanto GMO canola, or even Monsanto GMO cottonseed essential oil. Which container might study "pure veggie oil" however is generally 100% GMO soy. Actually the actual "olive oil" mayonnaise listings GMO soy since the 2nd component following drinking water. All of us know which natural hemp essential oil for instance, will be a much less dangerous GREENER grow to create these types of foods from having a status that's really proven to market wellness instead of deterioration this.

GMO Soy proteins is definitely an unlabeled component inside a big number of the actual meals you might unconsciously think secure for example greens dressings, sauces, fake meat, drink powders, non-dairy creamers, freezing sweets, whipped leading, bread, taco covers, cheeses, breakfast every day cereals, pastas, as well as dog meals as well as baby formulations.

Summary:

In the event that grocery store meals had been tagged "GE" or even "GMO Foods" they'd take a seat on the actual racks permanently because may be confirmed away from UNITED STATES exactly where you will find marking laws and regulations

Is not this particular a simple issue to determine?

The actual Monsanto lawyer Rights Clarence Jones gets the Best Courtroom Assess after which creates which Monsanto may obvious as well as personal the meals plants? The actual previous Monsanto lobbyist Erina Ur. Taylor gets the actual Older Agent towards the Meals & Medication Management (FDA) Commissioner upon meals security. The deputy commissioner from the FDA, Doctor. Erina The. Friedman had been employed like a older vice leader associated with Monsanto. A good helper manager from the EPA, Linda T. Fisher grew to become the vice leader from Monsanto through 1995-2000 in order to after that grew to become the actual Deputy Manager from the EPA within 2001. Assistant associated with Protection Jesse Rumsfeld had been the actual chairman as well as BOSS associated with Grams. Deb. Searle & Company. the pharmaceutical drug organization that Monsanto bought within 1985. Along with simply this particular incomplete listing of best Monsanto professionals revolving backwards and forwards between your FDA, the us government and also the Monsanto Company, just how can all of us be likely to think they have the greatest curiosity more than their very own in your mind? Exactly how might presently there not really end up being overt issues associated with pursuits?

It's OKAY to become really Scared

Does not all this brand new technologies include queries as well as concern? Do you know the actual dangers of those however to become recognized tests upon character? Exactly what on arriving results may this particular possess about the atmosphere? Are not presently there severe health issues customers associated with changed GMO meals should know? Is actually this particular Frankenstein technologies associated with recombinant DNA truly good for people by any means? Are not a person whatsoever worried how the runaway being overweight as well as illness developing with this nation is within immediate percentage towards the Frankenstein GMO meals becoming privately fooled on all of us?

A clear issue along with pest-resistant as well as herbicide-resistant vegetation may be the powerful picky stress for the reason that environment that could most likely trigger a good development associated with likewise proof bugs as well as therefore nullify the results from the germs, grow as well as pet transgenic meals harvest. Since the spraying associated with herbicides gets much more regular because maqui berry farmers are actually going through along with Roundup, the encompassing weeds may also create a opposition. This could normally result in a additional improve within the Roundup dose as well as rate of recurrence or even a alter within herbicide to a different much more gruesome contaminant certainly within improvement. Nobody is actually however certain if the insect proof attribute of those GMO plants might be used to the encircling weeds leading to traces of these being proof and much more productive.

It may actually obtain a lot more Convoluted as well as Frightening

Because the insect-resistant vegetation may cause elevated passing away associated with it's acquainted insect, could not which get rid of competitors for that small unwanted pests in order to after that ask them to turn out to be an issue? Or even, possibly could not insect-resistant vegetation trigger their own acquainted insect populace in order to change to a different grow harvest which was as soon as unthreatened through all of them? These types of unintentional results might grow away a lot additional. Research associated with Bt plants demonstrated which regrettably advantageous bugs that victimize acquainted harvest unwanted pests had been additionally normally subjected to dangerous amounts associated with Bt. We're able to right now realize practical options for that results to keep to achieve additional in the meals internet in order to ultimately impact vegetation as well as creatures eaten through people.

Additional toxicological analysis as well as overview may figure out in the event that residues through herbicides such as Roundup or even insect proof vegetation might damage or even mutate essential categories of microorganisms present in the encompassing dirt for example germs, the actual fungus or even nematodes, as well as every other microorganism in whose unintentional natural alter might reduce the meals plants.

The actual possible dangers all of us blindly take along with illness proof vegetation offer mainly along with virus-like opposition and may consequently result in the actual development associated with brand new infections that consequently indicates brand new untreatable illnesses. Normally happening infections which are recombined along with virus-like pieces which are after that launched to produce transgenic vegetation might type brand new infections that are after that created in to numerous book variants which there isn't any foreseeable end result.

Bitcoin’s Journey out of $1, 000 to $, 000: The particular Stories Of which Got United states Here

Bitcoin has got to another key milestone the following November: at last in the cryptocurrency’s existence, you BTC dealt for over $9,95, 000 all over exchanges. That it was the result of an outstanding bull go: bitcoin’s alternate rate was not even during $1, 000 when the year or so started.

In truth, 2017 may be an lively year regarding Bitcoin a long way - not because of the amount increase although because of the incidents that bought the founder cryptocurrency for you to its file highs.

Around random request, these were most of the biggest experiences that forced bitcoin’s travelling from $1, 000 throughout January to help $10, 000 in Don't forget national.

fork inter. jpg Out of Hard Hand Threats that will “Initial Division Offerings” The earliest half of 2017 witnessed the particular rise regarding Bitcoin Infinite. After Bitcoin XT along with Bitcoin Vintage, this was the final alternative standard protocol implementation intended to trigger any block volume limit raise hard hand. Almost 50 % of all brand new mined chunks were signaling support during this incompatible method change by way of spring, which might have brought about a “split” of the Bitcoin network in two unique blockchains in addition to currencies.

A real thing acquired never transpired before, and yes it was thought to be by quite a few to be a likely threat rapid not whatsoever because quite a few Bitcoin Indefinite proponents ended up openly estimating about 51%-attacking the original Bitcoin blockchain.

Although partly caused by a series of glitches that damaged all Bitcoin Unlimited clients, partly since major swaps announced their whole intention to be able to list any sort of coin as a result of a division as a innovative asset (BTU, not BTC), and to a degree because the New york city Agreement destroyed any its power it had quit, Bitcoin Unlimited’s relevance dropped before the summertime. At the same time, bitcoin’s exchange charge increased coming from just over $1, 000 to $2, 000.

During the summer months, however , one other protocol guidelines - Bitcoin ABC instructions announced a very similar initiative. As compared to previous endeavours, Bitcoin ELEMENT?RVIDEN employed a way more viable system, in large part mainly because its head developer known they were in truth creating a fresh coin: Bitcoin Cash (BCH, also referred to as Bcash) - not necessarily Bitcoin (BTC).

Interestingly, as soon as this pay finally occured on June 1, financial matters responded really. While BTC had been exchanging at a bit of under $3, 000 prior to when the fork, typically the combined associated with the two loose change were buying and selling at in excess of $3, 000 shortly after often the fork: spots were recognised for positioning. Moreover, from the weeks this followed, BTC’s exchange amount surged to $4, 000 for the first time.

Without knowing why ,, the prospect on the fork was not a longer a little something to be scary. While SegWit2x (B2X) seemed to be suspended for the reason that that assignment did not prefer to create a brand-new coin, lots of users these days welcomed completely new “initial derive offerings” for instance Bitcoin Your old watches (BTG).

body inter. jpg Institutional Likability Up until 2017, it was complicated for institutional money, not less than in the United States, to realize exposure to the exact bitcoin market segments. The nearest thing that Investing could get to BTC appeared to be perhaps by Barry Silbert’s Bitcoin Financial commitment Trust (BIT) through their GBTC conveys. This is a individual investment car or truck, however , which in turn most finances and institutional firms wil touch for many reasons. Furthermore, arbitrage amongst it as well as bitcoin niche categories is tricky.

It primarily did not glimpse as if their infidelity would have much better. All through the first many months of 2017, bitcoiners were definitely anticipating possibilities U. Ings. Securities plus Exchange Fee (SEC) credit of the Winklevoss twins’ PIECE exchange traded in fund (ETF). This ETF would have really been tradable as with gold ETFs, which effectively means that institutional investors could possibly have been able to simply buy and sell BTC derivatives while not having to worry about retaining actual BTC.

After number of review, this specific ETF has been rejected. Nonetheless interestingly, even though opposed to just what exactly many was expecting, this kind of disappointment did not have high of an effect in bitcoin’s selling price. The substitute rate that were building up to $1, 95 in anticipation of the particular SEC preference did plunge to down below $1, 000 in the a fortnight after the negativity, but that fully brought back in September, even breaking new in history highs.

All over the rest of 2017, new places into the bitcoin markets have been starting to kind after all.

By way of July, while bitcoin was still being trading within $3, 000, the Ough. S. Stock options Futures Exchanging Commission (CFTC) granted some sort of derivatives paying down organization (DCO) license for you to LedgerX. The following gave the modern York? based mostly startup concur to exchange and also clear bitcoin options along with futures, and then to swap products and solutions.

Then, simply by August aid BTC should still be trading less than $3, 000 - Cboe announced blueprints to unveiling cash-settled Bitcoin futures. Though these each year still dont let institutional investors decide to put money towards bitcoin right, they allowed them to bet for the price of bitcoin. And prominently, if people bet using a price maximize, market pans will most likely off-set their gambling bets by buying specific BTC; that certainly is how they can you should make money. This means that: institutional request translates into a proper BTC price tag increase. Typically the month finished near $5, 000.

April, when bitcoin was already stock trading over $5, 000, ended up being another significant month intended for institutional likability. By then, the earliest trades were being happening about LedgerX: related to $1 trillion worth inside first week. Whole October, however before the bitcoin price have ever attained $6, 000, major derivatives marketplace buyer CME published plans to help launch a new Bitcoin options product in addition, similar to Cboe. Bitcoin’s value shot up to $7, 000 within many days.

segwit inter. jpg Often the Long-Awaited Initial of Divided Witness Bitcoin development features accelerated seriously over the past ages. A ton of upgrades, optimizations in addition to innovations will be embedded during the two important Bitcoin Main releases of which saw the sunshine of daytime in 2017, and plans like the turbo network, TumbleBit and others are usually inching more close to release.

Although the biggest technician innovation stationed on the Bitcoin network have to be Divided Witness (SegWit). First planned as a delicate fork which wanted to 2015 plus implemented inside the Bitcoin Center software purchaser by past due 2016, typically the upgrade to begin with faced the uphill conflict to use. Segments on the Bitcoin online community, and in unique some big miners, contrariwise the enhance or wished for a prohibit size restriction increase tricky fork as a part of deal to get activation. Considering there was virtually no consensus pertaining to such a very difficult fork, the circumstance appeared deadlocked.

This adjusted in early 2017. In January, when bitcoin was still dealing at all over $1, 000, the pseudonymous developer Shaolinfry proposed a different idea to receive SegWit started: a user-activated soft hand (UASF). Rather then having miners activate often the soft division (as has been around since the norm throughout the last years), end users could placed a final target time at which they can start reinforcing the new protocols themselves.

Perhaps motivated by simply SegWit’s flourishing deployment with Litecoin, support by the AsicBoost controversy and also propelled within the counter-reaction towards controversial The big apple Agreement, among the list of proposed UASFs - BIP148 - go to gain essential traction by means of summer.

As soon as BTC1, the exact protocol enactment based on the Los angeles Agreement, endorsed implement the particular BIP91 “kludge, ” each main your current proposals ended up potentially arranged in match to initialize SegWit : if miners would start the very soft fork soon enough.

With the BIP148 deadline establish for July 1, yet still no initial by mid-July, the markets has become nervous: BTC dipped via over $3, 000 that will under $2, 000. When Segregated Find was last but not least activated at some point to avoid your network separate after all, the finance markets quickly rebounded … along with continued to be able to surge for you to new culminant of almost $5, 000 at the end of of May.

china inter The End with the Chinese Bogeyman Ever since 2013, China got increasingly utilized the direct in the bitcoin markets. The price tag run-up with November of their year seemed to be led by way of Chinese deals, which as well dominated exchanging volume with the years to come.

Nevertheless , this China's dominance also can startle typically the bitcoin stores from time to time. Myths that China and taiwan would “ban” Bitcoin finished the fluff run around November involving 2013 speedy. And while those people initial announcement stories were definitely overblown, equivalent “China ?uvre Bitcoin” myths have recurred from time to time. We were looking at always proved mostly as well as completely wrong, but they usually scared matters of finance, causing (temporary) price drops.

Next, this year, often the rumors as a final point held up rapid at least to the meaningful scope.

In the beginning of 2017, the China's central loan company, the People’s Bank connected with China (PBOC), launched identify checks for several transactions - avoid the motive of banning Bitcoin nonetheless of enactment stricter legislations. Most importantly, leveraged trading in addition to zero-fee buying and selling were made illegitimate, thereby falling apart Chinese stock trading volume.

The revolutionary policy possessed a negative relation to the markets to begin with, as BTC dipped by over $1, 000 to help under hundreds of dollars halfway thru January: the minimum it has been this. But the amount did suitable quickly; BTC was dealing at $1, 000 concentrations by June.

Then, not one but two major China's exchanges instructions OKcoin plus Huobi aid announced that will bitcoin withdrawals would be dangling for a thirty days by mid-February. While we will only predict about PBOC involvement, the following news was not exactly regarded as positive often. Bitcoin’s trade rate dropped slightly underneath $1, 000 once again : though this occassion only by way of little, and this recovered inside of days.

The authentic shocker observed much later, from the second part of 2017. At the begining of September, the exact PBOC written a statement wholly banning ICOs (initial piece offerings). China's ICO initiatives seized treatments, and capital were go back to option traders.

This exclude did not have an affect on Bitcoin referred to as, but when change representatives satisfied with China's regulators inside days and also weeks in which followed, the gifts announced we can completely complete bitcoin exchanging. While Bitcoin is still definitely not officially criminal in Cina, by the end with October most of exchanges acquired either closed down shop or simply moved out of the country.

The price of bitcoin seemed to are significantly with this info at first. As it had been shutting down in in $5, 000 by quick September, the item dropped that will almost $3, 000 because of the middle of the particular month. Nevertheless this just as a dip did not past very long also: the price appeared to be back in it has the upswing in just weeks, reaching out levels out of before the debar as soon as mid-October and bursting new all-time highs regarding over $6, 000 during the weeks this followed.

Most likely not compared with the separate of A silk duvet Road inside 2013, a celebration that was greatly expected to carry bitcoin’s alternate rate all the way down significantly, what is the news out of China based online stores turned out to be never that massive of a price at all. And because the influences weren’t seeing that bad like generally envisioned, it may currently have even have a high effect on financial matters.

price inter. jpg Value Moves Amount Arguably, the first thing moves the asking price of bitcoin above all else: the price of bitcoin itself. Enough time bitcoin’s substitute rate bites these innovative milestone élevé, (mainstream) music takes recognize, in turn gaining more alternative activities bitcoin along with drawing much more new clients. This, naturally , pushes the actual price further.

And the history year includes seen loads of milestones.

Though it wasn’t once ever of which bitcoin dealt with over $1, 000 rapid it had presently happened lightly in late 2013 - the fresh $1, 000 milestone has been reached in the first times of 2017. The reality that this developed almost just at the same time the revolutionary year shot to popularity certainly served write memorably headlines in addition to juicy tips: Would 2017 be the 12 months of Bitcoin?

Then, throughout March, a wholly new motorola milestone was achieved: BTC the first time hit parity with an oz. of your old watches. This is, naturally , a rather human judgements milestone: a strong ounce involving gold will not be 1/21, 000, 000 in all gold, though a bitcoin is 1/21, 000, 000 of all bitcoin. Yet, with 2013, them seemed to be a time of challenge for the areas: the hokum run of your second 50 % that season peaked previously “gold parity” was gotten to. And of course, the particular symbolism ended up being obvious: “Gold 2 . 0” overtook a physical forerunners.

One month eventually, bitcoin at last in about three years got to another all-time high. The exact November capture of $1, 277 about MtGox instructions which was perhaps artificially huge due, just, to market tricks - seemed to be breached all around exchanges with April 18 of this calendar year. Bitcoin appeared to be back the long “winter sleep, ” and of course typically the media procured notice.

Vehicle at this point, bitcoin kept breaking up records all over the rest of the year or so. The bitcoin markets strong ! $2, 000 for the first time previously in May perhaps, followed by $3, 000 around June or higher to $4, 000 that kicks off in august, making news each time aid after which the price tag retracted a tad toward the tip of the the summer months.

By later part of the September, “FOMO” (Fear connected with Missing Out) really expelled in. By using bitcoin surging over $4, 000 one more time, then $5, 000, $6, 000, $7, 000, $8, 000 plus $9, 000 on an just about weekly good reason, the multimedia piled for for each part, fuelling often the momentum far more.

Finally, advised by Southern area Korean geneva chamonix transfers and with the rest of the world on a daily basis later, bitcoin breached the exact $10, 000 mark over the previous week with November 2017.

Precisely what is Bitcoin, Just how Is It Diverse from "Real" Funds and How Am i able to Get Some?

Bitcoin is a online currency. It shouldn't exist inside the kind of bodily form the currency and also coin wish used to are present in. It will not even occur in a web form as actual as Monopoly money. Is actually electrons : not elements.

But take into account how much cash an individual personally deal with. You get a salary that you choose to adopt the bank rapid or is actually autodeposited with no you also seeing the particular paper it's far not published on. Afterward you use a charge card (or a checkbook, if you're older school) to gain access to those cash. At best, the thing is 10% than it in a funds form inside your pocket or perhaps in your budget. So , it is now known that most of the resources that you control are electronic - electrons in a chart or repository.

But hang on - these are United. S. finances (or people whatever region you come from), risk-free in the lender and certain by the total faith in the FDIC around about $250K per consideration, right? Properly, not exactly. Your current financial institution might required to retain 10% regarding its debris on downpayment. In some cases, really less. That lends your money in order to other people for about 30 years. The idea charges these for the personal loan, and charge for the benefit of permitting them to lend it.

How does funds get produced?

Your traditional bank gets to generate money simply by lending it.

Say anyone deposit $1, 000 along with your bank. Then they lend out there $900 of computer. Suddenly you will have $1000 and also someone else provides $900. Like magic, there's $1900 floating around just where before there is only a awesome.

Now point out your standard bank instead deepens 900 of your respective dollars to a new bank. That will bank subsequently lends $810 to another loan company, which then augments $720 into a customer. Poof! $3, 430 in an instant instructions almost $2500 created away from nothing aid as long as the financial institution follows your current government's core bank principles.

Creation involving Bitcoin can be as different from lender funds' design as dollars is coming from electrons. It isn't controlled by the government's key bank, but alternatively by opinion of nearly all people and clients. It is not produced by a limited clean in a developing, but rather by simply distributed open source and calculating. And it has a form of true work for generation. More on that will shortly.

Who also invented BitCoin?

The first BitCoins were inside a block of fifty (the "Genesis Block") manufactured by Satoshi Nakomoto in The month of january 2009. The item didn't ever have any benefit at first. It absolutely was just a cryptographer's plaything according to a document published eight weeks earlier by means of Nakomoto. Nakotmoto is an seemingly fictional label - no-one seems to realize who he / she or they will is/are.

Who have keeps track of all of it?

Once the Genesis Block was made, BitCoins have got since recently been generated performing the work to stay track of just about all transactions for those BitCoins as being a kind of community ledger. The particular nodes and computers doing the work calculations around the ledger are usually rewarded regarding doing so. For every single set of prosperous calculations, typically the node will be rewarded using a certain amount connected with BitCoin ("BTC"), which are and then newly produced into the BitCoin ecosystem. Consequently the term, "BitCoin Miner" : because the method creates fresh BTC. Because the supply of BTC increases, so that the number of purchases increases, the task necessary to upgrade the public journal gets tougher and more sophisticated. As a result, the quantity of new BTC into the strategy is designed to end up being about 55 BTC (one block) every single 10 minutes, around the world.

Even though the computer power intended for mining BitCoin (and to get updating the population ledger) currently is increasing significantly, so will be the complexity on the math trouble (which, furthermore, also takes a certain amount with guessing), or maybe "proof" necessary to mine BitCoin and to compensate the transactional books any kind of time given instant. So the method still simply generates one particular 50 BTC block each 10 minutes, as well as 2106 obstructs every days and nights.

So , in this way, everyone keep track of it rapid that is, each of the nodes from the network record the history of each and every single BitCoin.

How much is presently there and exactly where is it?

We have a maximum quantity of BitCoin that will ever always be generated, and this number is usually 21 thousand. According to the Khan Academy, the quantity is anticipated to top out and about around the 12 months 2140.

By, this morning there was 12. a single million BTC in blood flow

Your own BitCoin are retained in a record (your BitCoin wallet) that you really need storage instructions your computer. Typically the file alone is proof the number of BTC you have, this means you will move together with you on a portable device.

When that data file with the cryptographic key in your own personal wallet becomes lost, thus does your availability of BitCoin capital. And you aren't get it backside.

How much is that worth?

The worthiness varies based upon how much folks think they have worth aid just like inside exchange regarding "real dollars. " Yet because there is simply no central specialist trying to keep your value a couple of certain stage, it can fluctuate more greatly. The first BTC were generally worth nothing at all at the time, yet those BTC still exist. At the time of 11AM in December 10, 2013, people value has been $906. 00 US for every BitCoin. After i finished creating this word, it was $900. 00. Across the beginning involving 2013, the worthiness was close to $20. 00 US. In November 28, 2013 it absolutely was valued from more than $1, 000. 00 US each BTC. Therefore it is kind of risky at the moment, nevertheless it's supposed to settle down.

The whole value of most BitCoin : as of the at the end of this specific sentence rapid is around 14 billion PEOPLE dollars.

How do i get myself some?

1st, you have to have any BitCoin finances. This article possesses links to have one.

The other way is always to buy several from one more private event, like these fellas on Bloomberg TV. A proven way is to acquire some by using an exchange, just like Mt. Gox.

And finally, a proven way is to commit a lot of personal computer power along with electricity for the process and turn into a BitCoin miner. Which well outside of the scope of the article. But if you have a very few thousands of extra us dollars lying around, you may get quite a machine.

How can I devote it?

You can find hundreds of vendors of all measurements that consider BitCoin inside payment, via cafes to be able to auto dealers. There's a good BitCoin CREDIT in Vancouver, British Columbia pertaining to converting your personal BTC for you to cash in Vancouver, BC.

Therefore?

Money has already established a long background - millennia in length. Considerably recent tale tells us in which Manhattan Isle was acquired for wampum - seashells & such. In the early on years of the usa, different financial institutions printed their particular currency. Over a recent stop by at Salt Early spring Island throughout British Columbia, I actually spent foreign money that was merely good about the lovely isle. The common style amongst these kinds of was a rely on agreement between its users this that particular money held price. Sometimes of which value ended up being tied right to something reliable and real, like rare metal. In 1900 the Ough. S. tied up its currency exchange directly to platinum (the "Gold Standard") including 1971, concluded that tie up.

Now forex is bought and sold like any additional commodity, despite the fact that a particular state's currency valuation can be propped up or simply diminished by means of actions of these central traditional bank. BitCoin is surely an alternate foreign money that is furthermore traded as well as value, that way of various other commodities, is established through buy and sell, but is just not held up or perhaps diminished from the action connected with any standard bank, but rather immediately by the steps of alot of people. Its source is limited in addition to known still and (unlike physical currency) so could be the history of the single BitCoin. Its identified value, similar to all other money, is based on it is utility plus trust.

As being a form of currency exchange, BitCoin accomplishment a new part of Creation, nonetheless it certainly is actually a new means for money to get created.
