Hey dude? I was wondering if you could help me out. I was talking to this guy I like online and I kinda lied to him about being a big bodybuilder. He wants to meet up but I don’t look like I told him. Is there a way to blow me up into a big roided man quick before I meet him? I really like the guy and wanna date him. Any help would be appreciated.

Yo bro! If you wanna roll with the big dogs, hit the gym, man. I ain't lifting for ya, but I got your back. You'll need all the hype you can get… Bro, your crush might as well be your kid! You're rocking a size 38, he's chilling in a size 32.

So, you're chillin' in the car for like thirty minutes. What’s the deal, bro? You got cash, a solid crew, so why’re you chasing some dream? You see those dudes heading to the gym. They're all young and jacked, man. You ditch the jacket to look a bit more laid back. You take a deep breath. The dude at the front desk is kinda cute, but he’s also a sweaty mess. Maybe it’s that artificial shirt of his. "Yo, I’m Kevin, what’s up?" You take another breath and say, "I'd like to sign up for training…"

Yo, next week’s rollin' in. You've hit the gym four times, bro. Your nerves are chillin'. You've even shot the breeze with some of the jacked dudes here. Kevin gives you a nod and says, “Mr. Clifton, you're killin' it, this training's totally workin'!” You flash a smile and toss ten bucks in the tip jar.

Yo, bro, you’ve been hitting the gym morning and night, right? Cardio to start, then pumpin' iron later. You’re feeling like a beast! Work’s kinda mid though… some dudes think you’re slacking. You’re already peeping job listings, huh? At least Kevin’s got your back. He’s like, "Last customer, Mr. C? Don’t go too hard! And what’s with the showers after every sesh? You’ll just sweat again!" You laugh and say clean vibes are just your thing. Kevin laughs, takes a whiff of his armpit, and goes, "Not for me, man!" then gives you a bro handshake to peace out.

Dude, it’s been like a month since you jumped into this gig. Feels like forever ago, right? Now you’re rockin' it as a sales dude at that supplement spot. Sure, the bucks could be tighter, but hey, discounts on all the goodies! Gotta hustle though, 'cause rent's still a thing. So now you’re also the janitor here at the gym. Makes sense, bro—you're here like 24/7. "Yo, Kev, all good?" "For sure, bro," Kevin shoots back. You tell him he can bounce for the day. Last dude’s already split. Time to hit the weights a bit more, then just mop up and straight up organize. Seven hours from now, it’s back to open the gym, man.

Yo, Big Bro, don't you wanna hit the shower before work? Kevin's such a softie. Your clients are jacked bodybuilders, not puny dudes like him. They dig that fresh sweat smell and love when your sweat-drenched tank slaps their chest during a chest bump. "That's my concern, bro! Need anything else? How about I grab some of that sick new stuff from Russia?" Kevin just laughs it off. He's got that natural bodybuilder vibe. Sure, you were too, but you don’t get those monster arms just from curls. "No worries, little bro! I’ll swing by at 8:00 p.m. to take over!"

Bro, you’re like a freakin' brick wall! A brick wall with that serious roid acne. You make everyone in this gym look like total noobs. Except that one dude. Man, he had a vibe. Did he get you to join? Can’t remember, but you feel like he’s the reason you’re here. You took over Kevin's shift, but of course, you rolled in late again. Leg day, ya know? Sometimes you lose track of the clock. No time for a shower or change, just hit the counter and get on the register. Then this massive dude strolls up. Damn, the ground shakes with his steps. You try to act chill, but your junk’s having its own crisis. Shouldn’t the roids make your manhood shrink? Not for you, thank goodness. That bulge in your shorts is definitely catching his eye. “Yo, bro, finally a dude at work who knows the gym grind!” he says. “And finally, someone I’m not embarrassed about smelling like a sweaty beast!” You lock eyes, throw a fist bump. You both check each other’s gains. “What’s on your agenda today, bro?” you ask. “Back and arms,” he replies. “Cardio in an hour?” “Thanks for the invite! Count me in!”

DONT BE SHY SHOW ME THE TIME

15:54 - lu guang gets the display book and opens it

15:55 - hes flipping through it

i cant read this. google translate says it says '13:30 start shooting' so i assume when they start taking pictures at the con

17:00 - lu guang says he has to leave, qiao ling tells them to hurry up. he turns back but xiaoshi grabs his wrist and brings him inside

(flashback) 14:50 - vivian getting zhou xun into investing (also same time when he gives her 100k seemingly? or he was thinking it)

next day at 7:20-ish pm - lu guang has their phones on call and puts one in xiaoshi's breast pocket

8 pm - xiaoshi meets vivian who thinks he is zhou xun

21:46 - vivian seemingly texted the bad guy (idk name) that xiaoshi (who she thinks is zhou xun) took the bait (again im using google translate so idk)

??? - vivian says that lu guang could get hurt (as an example, if he wanted to run away if he joined them?)

whatever this time is - vivian pretends to hurt him and has him fake his death

the guys enter the room

revealed vivian betrayed the bad guys, and xiaoshi n lu guang run away

11:30 - zhou xun sees the news of vivian being a suspect (his text to her is about meeting again since he missed it yesterday)

7:20 am (probably, its bright outside) - xiaoshi tells him that he worries about lu guang disappearing. lu guang tells him he can stay in the photo studio. they do the clap that means theyre partners for life

that.. should be it?

Why One Direction will NEVER reunite: Friends tell KATIE HIND the desperately sad reason and truth...

Katie Hind

7–9 minuti

It was during the Australian leg of One Direction's mammoth global tour that Zayn Malik resolved to turn his back on fame.

Back then, in 2013, he was dating fellow popstar Perrie Edwards, whose band Little Mix were also on the road, and the young lovers both found themselves in Sydney.

Having been apart for weeks, they wanted to have a 'date night', only such was Zayn's popularity that 1D fans – Directioners as they called themselves – followed him and the rest of the band everywhere they went. The only way for Zayn to see Perrie was to sneak in through her hotel's laundry room.

For the singer, who like his fellow bandmates struggled with being in the limelight, the experience contributed to his decision to quit 18 months later in March 2015 – right in the middle of another world tour. He later cited 'stress' and the desire to be a 'normal 22-year-old'.

This was not an isolated incident: Zayn, now 32, and his bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and the late Liam Payne, lived their late teens and early 20s as caged animals, unable to leave their hotel rooms to avoid a stampede of hysterical fans.

'This made them hate being in the band,' said one source who worked with them in their heyday. 'It was actually traumatic at times.'

And I'm told that it is this trauma that's behind One Direction's decision not to reunite, under any circumstances.

Not even when they were asked by the BRITs committee to come together for tonight's event at London's O2 Arena, to pay tribute to Liam, 31, who died in October after falling from a balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The answer was still a firm 'no'. It wasn't for the lack of trying, say BRITs insiders: 'Those in charge thought it would be a great moment, if ever there was a chance of getting the band to reform, it was this year.'

Instead, I'm told, there will be a 'special moment' in the show dedicated to the troubled singer who had watched Niall perform on his solo world tour just a few days before his death.

'There is no doubt that Harry, Zayn, Louis and Niall think about Liam all the time but there was no way they were going to do it,' said the source. They'd showed 'absolutely no interest' in performing in tribute to their former bandmate, the source added.

'They have happy memories, particularly of the early days, but towards the end things got pretty dreadful and they began to despise One Direction. There's no way they would get back on that stage, even Liam's death wasn't enough.

'You've got to remember that they were doing more than 120 gigs in a year at one point, flying around the world from hotel to hotel which they couldn't leave. They went on the X Factor as young solo singers not thinking in a million years that they would be as big as the Beatles.

'The attitude from Simon Cowell and the record label was that if they put the work in then they would never have to work again. The feeling among the group was that it was easy for their bosses to say.'

Since their split in January 2016, ten months after Zayn quit, the group have only been in the same room twice.

Once was at Liam's funeral, at St Mary's church in Amersham last November; the previous time was back in November 2016 when Simon Cowell issued a three line whip for them to get to the X Factor studios to support Louis, who was performing a solo set on the show following his mother's death. Harry and Liam were 'fuming', but nevertheless, they travelled from the US to the London studio.

They refused to go on stage, however. Instead it was a private meeting in Louis's dressing room.

It would, of course, have been so poignant for One Direction to come together for this year's BRITs, an event at which they were not only recipients of seven awards. It would also be a night, I think, they'd actually enjoy.

For several years I'd watched them, knocking back wine and enjoying every minute of being stars of the show. For two years in a row, I also saw them at the show's after party at Mayfair's Arts Club, working the room like children in a sweet shop with Cowell watching on like a proud dad.

After a while, however, the mogul's enthusiasm for their hard work wore thin among the band members. Moreover, there was a feeling that despite making £30 million each from their five years as the world's biggest boyband, it was damaging their lives beyond repair.

'Harry and Liam would actually comment sometimes that they would rather have been at university,' said a friend of the band. 'Instead they basically became really f***** up. Some turned to drugs. It was pretty awful at times.'

It is not just their bad memories that have prevented the band from coming together, it would also be fair to say that relations between them are still strained. Towards the end of their time together, there were rumours that such were the levels of animosity within the group, that they would fly on two separate private jets.

Today, while Louis and Zayn remain close, having been a 'bit of a trio' with Liam, there is little love lost between them and Harry.

Even at Liam's funeral last November, Harry wasn't seen with any of his former bandmates, instead choosing to arrive with his friends James Corden and television producer Ben Winston. Meanwhile Zayn and Louis were seen deep in conversation outside the church.

And as for Niall, 31, sources say that he too has 'moved on' – arguably to bigger and better things as he now runs a talent agency for golfers, particularly bringing on women into the sport, as well as performing as a solo artist.

'He saw the band for what it was and took what he could from that time and built the rest of his life,' the source told me. 'Niall has just got on with it,' I'm told, and generally 'leads a very under-the-radar, quiet life.'

Then there is Harry, the 31-year-old heart-throb who signed a huge record deal which dwarfed the others back in 2016.

After much negotiation he went with Sony label Colombia, reportedly worth an eye-watering $80 million. As well as having number one hits, such as As It Was and Watermelon Sugar, he has also tried his hand at acting, winning roles in war movie Dunkirk and psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling. At the last count, he was said to be sitting on a personal fortune of £175 million.

'He is head and shoulders above the others in terms of his success,' says a band insider.

'His life is just so different, almost unrelatable to the others these days.'

While Harry remains one of the world's most popular and lucrative popstars, today Zayn – who has a four-year-old daughter Khai from his relationship with American model Gigi Hadid – lives an almost reclusive life on a farm in Pennsylvania.

Louis, 33, meanwhile, who has also had some success as a solo artist, exists very much under the radar in London.

'Getting back together would drag up the hurt,' says one source. 'They don't see the point in doing that, certainly not at the moment and probably never.'

Thank you for this!

She tends to wear timeless clothes from her grandmother and mother from the 60s-70s, within her on her wardrobe now.

Standing at 5'0, she may be petite, but her confidence and determination make her a force to be reckoned with.

Personality: A Southern belle with a gentle heart, Juliette has a bark that's always thicker than her bite. She's a fast talker with a snarky edge, always ready with a quick-witted remark. Her mama always told her to be kind but to make sure everyone knows she tried her damn hardest at everything.

————

Powers and Abilities:

Invisibility: Juliet possesses the ability to turn invisible at will, allowing her to move undetected and evade danger when necessary. This power grants her a strategic advantage in both her personal and professional life, enabling her to navigate tricky situations with stealth and precision.

Teleportation: With the ability to teleport, Juliet can instantaneously transport herself from one location to another, covering vast distances in a matter of seconds. This skill comes in handy during her hectic schedule, allowing her to seamlessly juggle multiple commitments and obligations.

Force Shields: Juliet can generate force shields to protect herself and others from physical harm. These shields act as a barrier against external threats, providing a layer of defense in dangerous situations. Along with her ability to defend and hold her own, finding the strength to deepen her defenses.

————

— Backstory:

Juliet grew up in a small town, where she was always fascinated by the stories her grandmother told her about their heritage. Her interest in her roots led her to explore various artistic pursuits, including modeling and writing.

Like any artist, she wasn’t clear onto her goals in life, especially being a woman of color, she feared she wouldn’t get enough credit for her work. Especially due to the fact that she had zero experience whatsoever in the industry up to that point.

However she knew she wanted to model and dance like all the artists she loved to see on her tv screens. Such as Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and others. She enjoyed their music and the fact that theses fine women were able to dance, as well as model for the next generation to come.

Still, she went on to that path and made a move to Hollywood a couple of years later. She did small gigs here and there, modeling for companies who would take in any kind of role to be the face of their products and services. She danced around on stage at cafes and pay the bills at the restaurant she worked at, where dancers would perform for the guests.

She even performed and made friends with a couple of girls, being invited to events and introducing herself to the crowd.

In the late 2000s a Hollywood film project wanted to explore the concept of space exploration and the roles of people in NASA so they sent actors and actresses to be introduced to the field, Juliet Florence was picked to go along being someone who wanted to development her craft from model to actress at the time, she wanted a hands on approach to the world she would be playing on in the film industry.

So she allowed the freedom to explore the space program with a visitors perspective along with the others that day. However certain curiosity got the best of her, as she found herself looking through the window of an experimental act taking shape before her eyes. During the critical test launch, an unforeseen incident occurred.

A powerful temporal anomaly was unleashed blasting past the walls across the door hitting Juliet as she fell asleep on the ground from such a terrible hit. She woke up in the hospital in a daze surrounded by doctors who questioned her health status after the incident but felt fine.

Bleeding a little from the wound she was given from the impact and a mild headache but other than that she was alright. She remembers the blue light from the source of the blast being the last thing she saw as she rushed for safety before passing out.

She was sent back home a couple of days later where she then discovered her powers in the kitchen as she almost got a jump scare from the lighting storm outside and once she looked at the her reflection in the toaster, she saw she turned invisible for a split second then back to normal. She gasped in shock almost immediately stumbling on her own feet.

Over time she noticed her skin was softer and smoother almost instantly creating her timeless appearance, like she was using some kind of makeup product. Or if she was using a new set of coconut butter on her body to make it almost shine bright like a diamond.

She knew she couldn’t tell anyone at the time, especially thinking they might believe her to be seen as freak or worse. She wanted to continue her career as a dancer and actress, if someone found out that she affected by this…she might lose everything she worked for.

It was hard enough being an African American woman in Hollywood, but imagine being one who had some freaky abilities.

She would be screwed…

-----------

- The Unexpected Rise Of The Beauty

After the incident at the NASA facility, Juliette Florence finds herself grappling with a new reality. Initially, she tries to dismiss the strange occurrences as figments of her imagination. The fleeting moments of invisibility and the odd sensations of teleportation, that appeared when she felt threatened—she chalks them up to stress and fatigue.

But the doubts linger, casting a shadow over her already demanding start in Hollywood.

The Catalyst for Change

One late night, as she sits on her couch eating a fruit salad and flipping through channels, something catches her eye on the news. The screen displays rare footage captured on a phone of a tall, dark-skinned woman with bleach-white hair, commanding the forces of nature. The news anchor identifies her as Storm, a powerful mutant who uses her abilities to protect others. The sight of Storm—confident, unashamed, and using her powers for good—strikes a chord deep within Juliette.

For the first time since the incident, Juliette sees a reflection of herself in someone else. Storm's presence ignites a spark of hope and determination. If Storm can embrace her powers and use them to make a difference, perhaps Juliette can too.

Embracing the Unknown

The next morning, Juliette decides to face her fears head-on. She begins experimenting with her abilities in the safety of her home. Initially, it's a chaotic process filled with frustration, fear, and exhaustion. She practices teleporting from her living room to her backyard, learning to focus her mind on the target destination. She discovers that her invisibility is triggered by strong emotions—fear, frustration, and annoyance—and works on calming herself to control this power.

Each day, from Tuesday morning to Saturday afternoon, Juliette dedicates some time to understanding her abilities. She keeps a low profile, ensuring that no one outside her home learns about her powers.

Despite the challenges, she persists, driven by the image of Storm and the realization that she, too, can harness her abilities.

Returning to Hollywood

After a while, Juliette returns to the movie studio. She realizes that the role she originally wanted no longer feels right. It's a painful reminder of the incident that changed her life. Instead, she speaks with her agent and decides to seek out roles that allow her more freedom to express herself—whether through singing, dancing, or acting in characters with depth and complexity.

Her determination pays off. She lands roles that not only showcase her talents but also allow her to draw on her newfound strength. Such as Iridessa in The Tinkerbell movies, Hidden Figures, Think Like A Man, Rio 2, Netflix’s Glass Onion, Bad Boys, and guest star in tv series.

Her performances gain a new layer of authenticity and power, captivating audiences and critics alike.

-------

Likes:

Fashion: Juliet has a passion for fashion, drawing inspiration from both vintage styles and contemporary trends. She enjoys experimenting with different looks and expressing herself through her wardrobe.

Music: A lover of music, Juliet finds solace and inspiration in various genres, from classic R&B and soul to modern pop and hip-hop. Music serves as a source of comfort and motivation for her.

Literature: Juliet has a deep appreciation for literature, particularly works that explore themes of identity, culture, and resilience. She enjoys immersing herself in books that provide insight and inspiration.

Dance: Juliet's background in dance fuels her love for movement and self-expression. Whether it's choreographing routines or hitting the dance floor with friends, she finds joy in the rhythm and energy of dance.

Dislikes:

Societal Expectations: Juliet harbors resentment towards societal expectations that seek to limit her authenticity and self-expression. She dislikes feeling pressured to conform to narrow standards of beauty and behavior.

Prejudice and Discrimination: Having experienced prejudice and discrimination firsthand, Juliet despises injustice in all its forms. She advocates for equality and inclusivity, using her platform to amplify marginalized voices.

Betrayal: Trust is important to Juliet, and she dislikes betrayal or deceit from those she holds dear. She values loyalty and honesty in her relationships and is quick to distance herself from those who betray her trust.

Friends and Family:

Grandmother: Juliet shares a close bond with her grandmother, who serves as a source of wisdom and guidance. Their relationship is rooted in love and mutual respect, with Juliet often seeking her grandmother's advice in times of need.

Close Friends: Juliet's circle of friends consists of fellow artists, activists, and creatives who share her values and passions. They provide support and camaraderie, standing by her side through the ups and downs of life in Hollywood.

Struggles with Powers/Roles:

Secrecy: Juliet grapples with the burden of keeping her powers a secret, fearing the repercussions if they were to be exposed. This constant vigilance adds stress to her already demanding career and personal life.

Identity Crisis: The juxtaposition of her public persona and her hidden abilities creates an internal conflict for Juliet, leading to moments of doubt and insecurity about her true self.

Balancing Act: Juliet struggles to balance her various roles and responsibilities, from her career as a model and actress to her advocacy work and personal relationships. Finding equilibrium amidst the chaos of her life proves challenging at times.

~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~

Who knows where Juliette will go next in her journey? Maybe she’ll meet the woman who inspired her to keep going. Perhaps she’ll take time off from Hollywood one day to explore this new side of her.

The future is uncertain, and we can only wait and see.

Part 3: 70 Heart kisses 2016 on

This post is in three parts:

When Harry got the Heart tattoo

70 Heart Kisses (1D years), and

70 Heart Kisses continued. (Solo career)

The amazing @womanexile and @this-daydream-is-dangerous-13started this off with finding a good chunk of these. This is by no means a complete list, I think that would be impossible. It’s also important to note that only Harry knows what this tattoo is about, why he kisses it or if that is for one person and who that is.

2017

After no performances in 2016 the heart kiss returned with HS1 but less frequently. In early 2016 Harry and Taylor had been close but by 2017 Taylor was dating Joe and Harry was very emotional on stage. See 2017 timeline. Harry also started performing with a guitar which gave his arms something to do and I think less kisses as a result.

Late March 2017 - London- During his Behind the Album performance for HS1, he not only kissed the heart, he also kisses the guitar it’s thought she had given him as a gift! This was a major moment for Harry and one he was emotional in. He is good at first but there’s a head in hands moment at 28:10. Then, emotional. Time stamps 32:09 during Sweet Creature 37:48 guitar kiss during ESNY 52:45 kisses OTHER arm during SOTT (when he was explaining the rest of the concert to that nervous fan in July, he described this song as “emotional but hopeful” so maybe that’s a hopeful thing, that arm has ‘Things I can’/the Eagle)

13 May 2017 - London- secret gig at the Garage in Islington - pink pants black shirt 7:52 during Sweet Creature

19 May 2017 - Troubadour, LA, on the eve of their 5 year anniversary of May 20th, while performing Leather and Lace with Stevie Nicks (1:18), Harry started crying and kissed the heart. Harry was really excited throughout the show, they performed two ghosts as a duet after which he said he was losing his s*** (but in a cool way, with a point to presumably James).

28 September 2017 - Radio City NY - Story of my life may have an aborted arm kiss (2:30) FTDT also (3:35). On Harry and Taylor’s 28 September anniversary. Taylor marked the day with a 70 song ‘Taylor loves’ Spotify playlist.

14 October 2017 - Phoenix - During Meet me in the Hallway (1:39). After “I walked the streets all day” before “running with the thieves”. This was Harry's last US show and he returned to Europe. His next show was in Paris where he cried twice in FTDT on 'even my phone misses your call' twice. (1:55 and again 3:30)

2 November 2017 - Glasgow- Sweet Creature on “you bring me home” (maybe, this tour had tricky lighting) (2:19) Kiwi and Reputation were released soon after.

2018

12 June 2018 - Nashville - Sweet Creature (2:45) Harry moves to kiss his arm but doesn’t after “you bring me home” he was in Taylor’s home city.

30 June 2018 - Chicago - Sweet Creature, a possible other arm kiss (5:11). Taylor and Harry were both in Chicago, Taylor played New Years Day with an introduction about jumping into icy pools that Taylor Nation has cut from their version.

2 July 2018 - St Paul - Only Angel - the other arm at 3:30 and the heart at 4:33. On the same night Harry changed the lyric of “running with wolves” to “running with you” (2:00) Taylor had played this stadium the night she had the temper trap song as arm lyrics which Harry tattooed on its anniversary. Taylor had been in nearby Chicago when Harry was there the day before and not seen this day.

In July 2020 Taylor released Cardigan with a reference to a ‘Tattoo Kiss’:

2021

The later we go the less we really know about what is going on. The heart kisses may also have different meanings.

The 2021 timeline is interesting, starting with talking at the Grammy’s then the Brits, Harry finished writing Harry’s House and Taylor started Midnights in this period.

22 September 2021 - St Paul - Falling, with Two Ghosts intro (4:31). Wildest Dreams TV was released a few days earlier, Harry and Taylor had spent time in St Paul in the past.

25 September 2021 - Chicago - Falling, at the end twice with a smile and again during Adore you. When Harry last played Chicago Taylor was also there.

21 October 2021 - Uncasville, during thank you speech. Harry and Taylor had been in Nashville at the same time earlier that month when Harry had written Satellite.

On the same day Taylor posted an instagram reel captioned ‘Basic autumn lovers RISE’ reenacting a 2014 Tumblr post including trying lyrics to ATW ‘Just between us did he love affair maim you too?’

17 June 2023 - Wembley - at the end of Sweet Creature Harry went to kiss the tattoo and stopped himself then looked at the crowd with a cheeky embarrassed look. (3:16). Gemma had a baby 8 months later. Taylor had a particularly emotional show that night. She gave an extra wild Champagne Problems speech and extra long and weird Betty Speech and had Aaron Dessner out to play Seven and hugs Taylor at the end. Later a photo of TR sitting with Jeff in one of the Wembley crowds surfaced months later. Interestingly, this is the anniversary of Taylors 2011 Lover Journal entry days after Harry was MIA in the US when Taylor had the Temper Trap arm lyrics in St Paul.

18 June 2023 - Wembley link Wembley n1 during as it was another link. I think the show above sums this up. Cruel Summer was officially released as a single 2 days later.

I suppose the best place to begin an introduction is at the very beginning. But let's be real, that's 35 years of filler that I'm sure most of you don't have the time to read through. Life is short, and life is busy, so how about we bullet point the highlights and "need to knows" leading up to the journey that you're all here for!

Hang on to your butts, I'm about to throw a lot of information at you in rapid fire succession.

I was born in April of '89 and was raised on the East Coast of Canada.

I have 4 older brothers, my parents are still together, and aside from a few hiccups I had a pretty good home life.

I have some alcohol related trauma due to my dad's addiction. He was never violent or abusive, but there are some mental scars that never fully healed. (Note he is now sober and our relationship is much better these days.)

I have a very close relationship with my mom.

My mom babysat so I was raised with 3 girls my age who are my sisters from other misters. We may not be related by blood, but we have that same bond that sisters have.

My family would have been considered lower middle class.

I was a tom boy growing up. I was more interested in video games and beast wars than barbies and baby dolls.

I started showing signs of mental health issues (anxiety, depression & panic attacks) around 10 years old (the same time my period started) but they were not addressed until my late 20s.

I had severe acne in my teens and have bad permanent scaring on my cheeks as a result. This led to an ongoing struggle with Body Dysmorphia and a lot of money spent on skin resurfacing that never worked.

High School was horseshit but I never dealt with any severe bullying. These were the years, however, that I began self-harming.

I wasn't "popular" per say, but I had lots of friends growing up.

I started working with a paper route at 10, then at 16 got my first job in retail at a Dollar store that was located next to a strip club. I will regale you with those stories in a future post.

I would be employed in the customer service industry without a break for the next 8 years.

I got my BA in English straight out of High School and put myself in crippling debt for a useless piece of paper.

During a night of D&D spent over at one of my friends' exes apartments, at 19 years old, I had my first kiss, got drunk for the first time, and lost my virginity all in one shot.

I did not drink or do drugs as a teen.

I have never done hard drugs or smoked cigarettes.

I have only been drunk about 5 times in my life, only once bad enough for a hang over, and rarely ever have a drink even to this day.

I didn't start smoking weed until my mid 20s.

I went full emo (aesthetic, music, and personality) in University.

My dream job is to be a novelist.

I have a certificate in Photography and shoot nature as a hobby, and pets as a paid gig from time to time.

I had a popular YouTube channel for like 5 minutes in 2009 but then I panicked and deleted it.

I have never had a career outside of customer service.

I have only had five sexual partners in my life.

I have only ever had two relationships last more than 2 months.

I identified as aromantic asexual for a very long time.

I do not currently know what I identify as sexually. Most likely aromantic bisexual, but it's very fluid.

I have been with my Husband for approximately 10 years.

I have attempted suicide twice.

I was diagnosed with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) around the time I was 30 and began LIFE CHANGING prescription medication (sertraline).

I do not like nor do I ever want children so I got my tubes tied at 32.

I'm a huge animal lover and as of this time have owned 2 cats, 4 dogs, 3 budgies, 2 hamsters, 1 rabbit, and 7 rats over the course of my lifetime.

I have an incomplete education in IT Web Design and Audio Engineering.

I have vocal training but hate the sound of my voice.

I made money streaming video games on twitch with some friends for a bit in 2016 - 2017.

I started working in the donation rooms of thrift stores in 2016 and honestly if it wasn't for the bullshit politics of the companies I've worked for I could totally see myself staying in that industry. I wouldn't be against opening my own thrift shop one day.

I have been an introvert since Junior High.

I am agnostic.

Okay... Alright, okay, alright.

I think that covers all the need-to-knows of my life before I said "Fuck it" and started taking off my clothes in front of the camera. Thanks for sticking with me through that whole information dump. Hopefully that's enough to give you a bit of an idea of who I am, and can maybe help break that idea that all sex workers have tragic pasts and severe trauma.

My life has never been tragic. Yes, there have been hurdles I've had to overcome, an alcoholic parent, navigating life with severe anxiety and depression, and the adolescent struggles any teenager and young adult may face. But really, my life has honestly been kind of uneventful, and I don't mean that as a bad thing!

This is my foundation, the building blocks that made me who I am today. And who is that?

Well, stick around and I'll tell you!

for the fallout OC asks: 3, 4, 26, & 32 for Toby & Derek?

3. What is their SPECIAL? Derek Roy: S:10 P:6 E:9 C:10 I:8 A:7 L:4 Toby Quinn: S:2 P:7 E:6 C:10 I:6 A:8 L:10

4. What perks or tagged skills do they have? Derek Roy: Confirmed Bachelor, Lady Killer, Terrifying Presence, Chem Resistant Immunity, Pain Train, Sniper, Sneak Toby Quinn: Confirmed Bachelor, Rad Resistance Immunity, Sneak, Gunslinger, Ricochet

26. How would others describe them / their disposition? Derek Roy: at the vault Derek was a distrustful bully who loved to gloat. He was not subtle with his threats. Only a handful of people had his respect and loyalty. Since he was banished he can't afford to be seen as mean, so most of the time he plays the part of a fun-loving and helpful do-gooder instead. (At what point does it stop being an act?) Toby Quinn: Toby is a sweet gay stoner, who is always full of fun ideas, though not all of those are sensible. He is also extremely likeable, almost implausibly so. (Is it a mutation, like his rad immunity?) All his ex-boyfriends are dangerous, but none would ever hurt him.

32. What is their go-to weapon or weapon class? Derek Roy: Power armour. Sniper riffles, gauss riffles, and for those special occasions: the syringer the Overseer gave him 😈 Toby Quinn: when Toby was a kid growing up near Nuka World, a fellow Hubologist taught him how to use a revolver to fend off bloodworms and mirelurks; Toby is an excellent shot. He's not too bad with a sniper riffle either. These skills serve him well whenever money runs out and he has to do another caravan guard gig

Building a pc from scratch is basically lego for grownups, but with more swearing and higher stakes.

I built a system from scratch years and years ago, like, mid-oughts? Ish? And it hasn't actually changed all that much despite the end result being staggeringly exponentially faster.

I watched a lot of videos in preparation, hyperfixating on the process for about a month before picking and ordering the parts. Prices are/have been coming down drastically from the pandemic/crypto gpu shortages, and there are some fancy new games out that I want to play.

Because I'd done all that work, when I found out my kid's partner needed to upgrade, I shopped her parts too. To upgrade a system that already has an operating system, SSD, case and plenty of cooling is about a grand, for an Intel I5-12600k (10 core, I think?), a DDR4 motherboard (Z790 IIRC? Maybe B?), a fancy RGB cooler, and 32 gigs of fancy light up RAM. Would have been cheaper without RGB but she wanted it and could afford it.

For a complete system with OS, new monitor, 3T storage, 64gigs of memory and a $400-ish video card, about 2 grand. That's with the i513600kf (14 cores). I think for me it was a RX 6800 graphics card and for her it was a 6750 xt. Either will be very playable for the games we both like.

I won't say the process is easy. But it's very methodical and there are SO many really good engaging videos explaining how to do it.

I was kind of fixated early on on the idea of needing better than an i5 because my current computer is an i7 and Intel's naming system is a bit arcane. But that's not actually how it works. They've been doing generations for years of the i5, i7 and i9 processors, and which generation is more critical than the 5, 7 or 9. 12th and 13th gen processors are going to be much faster than my 6th gen i7 on my laptop, which has four cores. The i5 13600 has 6 process cores and 8 efficiency cores, and fuck if I know what the difference is but the fact of the matter is that few games are going to use more than that and I'm not doing anything fancy enough to need more process cores, and the clock speed is Very Nice. The 12600 has just as many process cores and fewer efficiency cores, but it's also like, just over half the price. If you pick correctly on Newegg you get a couple games with either processor, and if you get the right AMD gpu, you can get starfield with the gpu. Anyway. The markup for having someone else build a PC these days is very steep. There are a lot of corners getting cut. This is not a process for everyone but it really is rewarding.

Dubai Side Hustle Blueprint: 7 Elite Gigs to Maximize Your Expat Earnings

Did you know 82% of Dubai expats regret not starting a Dubai side hustle sooner? Don’t join them! In 2025, Dubai’s thriving economy (4.5% GDP growth, Statista) and tax-free income make Dubai side hustle and freelancing Dubai your ticket to financial freedom. With 88% of UAE’s population as expats and costs hitting $3,500–$4,000/month (Expatra, 2025), a Dubai side hustle can earn AED 3,000–20,000/month, whether you’re a 9-to-5 pro or new expat. unveils 7 high-paying Dubai side hustle gigs, from freelancing Dubai to e-commerce, packed with 2025 insights, stories, and actionable tips.

Starting a Dubai side hustle like freelancing Dubai isn’t all glitz. Expats face hurdles that demand strategy. Licensing costs (AED 1,500–12,000/year) for freelancing Dubai, Airbnb, or e-commerce can strain budgets. Competition is fierce—50% of freelancing Dubai pros on Upwork specialize to win (InZone, 2024). Time management is tough; a Dubai side hustle like pet sitting takes 2–4 hours/day, clashing with 9-to-5 jobs. Regulatory compliance, like DTCM audits for Airbnb, adds stress. Solution: Start small (e.g., 5 hours/week on freelancing Dubai), niche down (e.g., eco-products for e-commerce), and use free tools (Canva, Google Ads). In 2025, 70% of successful Dubai side hustle pros plan around regulations (Shuraa). Facing these challenges? Comment your strategy! See our UAE Business Setup Guide.

The Dubai side hustle scene is exploding in 2025, driven by tech and demand. AI tools like SEMrush (AED 500/month) optimize freelancing Dubai pitches, boosting wins by 25% (Forbes, 2024). E-commerce hits $27B, with 80% of UAE shoppers online (Statista). Influencer marketing grows, with 70% of brands hiring micro-influencers for Dubai side hustle campaigns (Maly, 2025). Free zones like DMCC cut freelancing Dubai visa costs by 10% (InZone). Deep Dive: TikTok’s 40% UAE ad spend growth favors social media managers (Forbes). Pro Tip: Use AI for analytics to charge 15% more. Excited for 2025 Dubai side hustle trends? Comment your thoughts!

I’m obsessed with the Dubai side hustle scene, especially freelancing Dubai, having seen friends earn AED 15,000+/month on Upwork. The tax-free edge (0% income tax, UAE FTA, 2024) and 2025’s gig economy boom (30% growth, Forbes) make Dubai unmatched for Dubai side hustle success. Freelancing Dubai wins for low startup (just a laptop), but Airbnb and e-commerce offer passive income if you invest AED 5,000–15,000. Challenges like visas (AED 7,500) or competition are real, but niching down (e.g., pet grooming, SEO) crushes it. A Dubai side hustle isn’t extra cash—it’s your path to Dubai’s luxury lifestyle.
