“What can I say to your mom to let you come outside?

You know I'll be seeking if you run and hide

If the door were to open, would you walk through the frame?

If you're too afraid, it won't be you I blame”

— Triple Dog Dare, Lucy Dacus

“I chose this single star

From out the wide night’s numbers —

Sue — forevermore!”

 When Emily Dickinson wrote for Sue, she knew what to say, she had touched her for much more than fifteen minutes. Though I will always have the chance to love Ellie, I won’t ever know what it’s like to have her. As long as I’m too scared to come off my shell, I will never know what it is like to own a Susan of my own. Must “be of itself a bliss” to hold such soft skin, to feel such callused fingers and to feel your heart burning. Must be of itself a bliss for intimacy to feel intimate and not invasive. 

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

I hid my journal and went back to the kitchen, as usual. It’s been a few weeks since my mom last let me leave the house. The windows were also kept closed, it was my punishment for, as Mama said, “going against who I was.” She said I’ve been acting unlike me, and that her beautiful daughter would have never done such things. 

So I’ve been trying my best to be as close to the old me as possible so she can forgive. I know I’ve already lost Ellie, there’s no way she would want anything to do with me after all that went down on our first date. So my goal now is to  just go back to where I was before it all went down: my mom’s good graces. 

I finished brooming the kitchen and went for the cookies I left in the oven. “Aren’t you gonna grab some? They’ll be cold when you’re back.” I asked my mom. “I’m sure they’ll be fine”, she replied. She’s been going on patrol while I’m home. At first I thought she trusted me not to go outside but then I realized the door was simply locked anyway. I got her her bag and she walked out, placing a kiss on my forehead. 

As the door was locked again, I went to the bathroom for a shower. My face looked horrible, I looked undead. Dark circles that denounced loads of sleepless nights and messy hair that indicated many depressing mornings, both that differed from my always-put-together self. I decided to wash my face and brush my hair for once, also to eat something. After, I went back  to my room and my endless pile of poetry where I could find a bit of peace, some were even self written.

I heard some steps outside my room and I thought my mom may have forgotten something. I walked to the living room, still holding my book. I almost fell on my back when I saw Ellie climbing a window in the living room. 

“What the fuck are you doing?!” I gasped, walking up to her. 

“I- I picked the lock on the window.” She couldn’t contain the excitement on her face. “You’re alive.”

I restrained a smile. “Of course I’m alive. But not for long if my mom sees you here.”

She shook her head, still smiling. “No, no, no. Joel’s on patrol with her, he promised to keep her busy for at least two hours so we could talk.” I sat down on the sofa.

“Talk about what?” I started feeling nervous. I couldn’t keep eye contact with her. 

“We kissed. A lot. On the blanket. I liked it.” She corrected herself. “ We liked it. And then Dina told me about your mom and how she freaked out and held you hostage-”

“She is not holding me hostage.” I interrupted Ellie. “She is my mom.”

“Oh, so you’re going to tell me that you’re here stuck with the curtains closed for two weeks because you enjoy it?” She got me there. 

“I’m grounded. She didn’t like that I went out at night.” I tried to keep my confidence.

“She didn’t like that you went out or she didn’t like that you went out with me?” Ellie raised her eyebrow, sitting by my side.

“She didn’t like that I went out with you. That 's true.” I sighed. “She knows you’ve dated Cat, she’s just scared that I’m gonna end up…”

“Dating me too?” She smirked. “Damn, she thinks I’m that irresistible?” 

“That’s not funny at all, Ellie!” I scolded her. “She won’t ever let me see you again, I don’t even know when she’s gonna let me see anyone. And she doesn’t even know about the kiss. I can’t stand this anymore.”

Ellie looked down. “It must suck to be here on your own all day.” 

“What? No-” I shook my head. “No, I’m not worried about being here. I’m worried ‘cause I won’t ever see you! And I’ll never get to talk to you again, or to kiss you, or to-” I paused.

“You’re talking to me right now.” She looked deep into my eyes. I held my breath.

“Look,” I took her tattooed hand in mine. “I really wish I could do something, but I can’t. She’s my mom, I can’t disobey her like that and she will never let me hold you for as long as she is alive.” 

She squeezed my hand, a heartbroken but conformed look in her eyes. “Then at least let’s say goodbye in the right way. Just goodbye, and then I will leave you alone and you can go back to Mike and your mom and the life she wants you to live. But for tonight, let me just…” Her voice sounded weak, could it be possible that she would cry because of me?. “Let me just love you. For tonight.” She swallowed any insistent tears.

I knew what she meant. I wanted to pretend like I didn’t but I wasn’t clueless and, to be fair, I wanted it just as much as her. “Yeah. For tonight.” It came out almost like a whisper. She didn’t lose any seconds, instantly kissing my lips and grabbing my waist. I touched her neck and kissed her like it was the last time. Well, it was. 

She laid me down on the couch without breaking contact. Her hands went under my sweater, warming me up and making me forget about the cold winter. A  blizzard seemed to be forming up outside but, for me, that didn’t exist. There was no “outside”. The only thing that existed was this house, this couch and the burning Summer of Ellie’s body.   

I had sex with Ellie that night. She taught me things I didn’t know. Like how it feels like to explode inside of yourself, and how it feels to dewater your body onto someone else until you feel completely dry and senseless. 

She dug her nails deep into my skin. It felt like she was hoping to get a piece of me under her nails, just so she could take it home with her. I, too, behaved like an animal, like I needed it. Because I needed her. 

My only goal was to make this be remarkable, I want her to remember me forever. Is that selfish? I am selfish. But that’s fine, I think she is, too. The marks of her gentle biting into my neck and shoulders feel like tattoos on my skin, there to show possession. Maybe to mom, maybe to Mike. A way of saying “it doesn’t matter your position or title you may have, she is mine, mine, mine”, like a child writing their name in their favorite book at the library, or a teenager tagging their initials on their favorite spot. It may not belong to you, but it belongs with you, and she wanted everyone to know that.

We laid there in silence, staring at the ceiling, for a few minutes after we finished.

“Have you ever felt this way?” Ellie asked, gently caressing my arm.

“No. I didn’t know it could feel like this. Like, not hurt.” I replied. 

“What?” She looked at me, confused. “Mike hurts you?” She looked ready to fight when I put my hands on her chest. 

“No!” I chuckled. “Mike does not hurt me. I was talking about… being with someone. I didn’t know it could not feel like a chore, or a burden.”

She breathed in slowly, still staring at me. I thought maybe I had said something wrong, maybe I was too cheeky. I felt a knot on my throat. Oh my, I’ve ruined it all. That’s when she sat up straight on the couch. 

“I can’t let you live like this.” She started putting on her clothes. She threw my shirt to me. 

“What?!” I started getting dressed too, confused.

“I can’t let you live this. I can’t! I can’t. I can’t let you stay with your mom, I can’t let you marry Mike-” I interrupted her nervous ranting, “I am not marrying Mike.” 

She looked on the verge of tears, I’ve never seen her like that. “That is only a matter of time!” She stepped in closer to me. “Look, let’s- let’s just go away. I can hunt for our food, we’ll find an abandoned farm somewhere. Look, I- we’ll find a way. We’ll be together, that’s all that matters to me.” 

She looked dead serious. I am not the type to believe in fairytales, I knew we had little to no chance of survival,  but I am also not the type to live unhappily. And I would rather die than live a life without her. 

I started walking to a closet, she followed. I opened it with a key and, hidden behind boxes, I found the car battery my mom kept. I looked back at Ellie, she looked at me, too. We knew that the moment we took that off of its place there was no turning back. That moment I heard someone open the front door. 

I froze, thinking it could only be my mom. Too late, it’s over. That was until I saw Joel, covered in fresh blood.

“I am sorry. I wasn’t able to do anything.”

so if you want tips to avoid a certain twisted I got you.... For dandy make sure you try and spend at his shop as much as you can after three times twisted dandy can spawn... For twisted vee don't fail skill checks and close pop ups quickly for pebble just try and be stealthy which shouldn't be hard for you since you are a high stealth character and always have gumballs or a speed based item for most common twisteds and for razzle and dazzle just don't run within there circle otherwise they will wake up

still day 1 - html

once again, technically not day 1, still doesn't matter,

common/basic html tags

<p> (closing </p>): creates a paragraph

<h1> (closing </h1>): creates a heading. this tag is used for the biggest headings in the page (example: a general, all encompassing title)

<h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> (closing </h2> </h3> </h4> </h5>): these four tags also create headings, each smaller than the next. h2 is bigger than h3 and so on (example: h2 can be used for a chapter title, and h3 for the title of each section of that chapter)

<h6> (closing </h6>): creates a heading. this tag is used for the smallest headings in the page

<strong> (closing </strong>): makes the text stronger, usually bolding it. this tag goes inside other tags, like <p> (example: <p>normal text <strong>bold text</strong> normal text</p>)

<em> (closing </em>): emphasizes the text, usually italicizing it. this tag goes inside other tags (example: <p>normal text <em>emphasized text</em> normal text</p>)

<a href="example"> (closing </a>): creates a clickable link. the link / path goes inside the quotes in the opening tag (in place of the word example that i put there for reference). the text you want to be able to click which directs to the link goes between the tags (example: <a href="link">text to be clicked</a>)

<br> (no closing tag): creates a line break inside a paragraph (since line breaks in the code are ignored). in other words, it sends the text after it to the next line, without creating a new paragraph, instead of having it stay in the same line as the text before it until it no longer fits

that was a lot but it's the basics i swear. also all these tags are used inside/between the <body></body> tags (explained in my "absolute basics" post which i will not link to right now sorry). that's it

SWORDTEMBER '24, DAY 16: CLOWN

Item ID: HH-2416 Item Name: Honker’s Segmented Blade-Whip Category: A-4 Origin Point: Kidd Kailey’s Intergalactic Carnival Owner: Honker McBastion Description:  [This item is primarily a show prop, intended to be used by a trained professional in a controlled setting, for entertainment purposes. Employees of the Federal Port Authority tasked with handling this item should take great care, in spite of the whimsical appearance. Misuse can still cause property damage or bodily harm.] A segmented sword, approximately 70 cm in length with a 14cm handle while in its default configuration. The blade itself is primarily a stark white, with swirls of red painted across the flat of it. Only one in three of the segmented sections are kept sharp for various tricks. At the bottom of the hilt is a decorative red sphere, similar to a “clown nose” (see file EC-4471-H4) which squeaks when squeezed, while the guard of the item resembles an oversized bowtie. The handle is wood painted with a pinstripe pattern. At the press of a button, the segments of the blade unlock, separating to allow the item to be used as an unconventional whip. Connecting the segments are cloth ribbons tied together, alternating in colors red, yellow, blue, and green. There is no clear mechanism for how the ribbons fit inside the sword, nor how they retract when the button is pressed for a second time. Cataloger’s Notes: I… cannot believe the owner of this thing… is named… Honker. His legal first name! HIS BIRTH NAME. That man was destined to be a clown, I guess. The folks at the circus were also very thankful for my assistance, and apologetic for getting the initial forms incorrect, so they offered me a few free tickets to their next show. I’ve never actually been to the circus before, most of the ones that come through are a LOT more expensive. Honestly, I probably would have been able to go to Kidd Kailey’s even if they hadn’t given me free entry. Naomi is excited to go with me, apparently she hasn’t been since she was a kid.

-----

It had been a stressful week at work, certainly, with Cynthia’s boss officially announcing his upcoming “retirement” (everybody in the office knows that he was given the option to quit or be fired), as well as an unusual spike in item confiscation. Plenty of employees elected to take overtime, including herself. Now that the week is finally at its end, she can enjoy some time with her girlfriend, on a well-earned date night. Even if it’s not something she had ever really imagined doing on a date.

Like watching a starstruck Naomi participate in a pre-show juggling lesson, taught by none other than the ringleader themselves: Kidd Kailey.

“Ooh, so close! You’re doing quite well for a beginner, almost like this isn’t the first time you’ve tried juggling,” Kidd Kailey says, the second part in a stage whisper, her hand covering her mouth. Immediately, Naomi’s cheeks go pink, and she stutters out a few words that get jumbled together. Despite the way her tongue trips over itself, the meaning is parsed, and Kailey lets out a gentle, almost soothing laugh. “Nothing to be embarrassed about, dear, I’ve lost count of how many souls I’ve met that once dreamt of joining the circus. From scientists to pilots, from soldiers to politicians… even a few members of royalty. It’s a common enough dream, to want to spread joy wherever you go. No shame in taking up other things, though, as long as you still find ways to spread that joy. Now, I’m afraid I need to finish setting up for tonight’s show, but why don’t you go show that partner of yours what you’ve learned?”

With that, she bid farewell to the others gathered, then slipped away. Smiling softly, Naomi takes a moment to collect herself and admire the free juggling kit she’d been using. It’s rather simple, just a few colorful balls with the circus’ logo on them, as well as a bag to keep them in. But there’s something else, too, that hadn’t been there a few moments earlier: An autograph. That excites her even more, and she’s quick to rush back to Cynthia to show off her new trophy (as well as her renewed talent).

They spend another twenty minutes like that, and Cynthia even makes an earnest attempt at juggling. Eventually it’s almost time for the main show to begin, so they turn off their phones, find their seats, and get settled in for a good time. Nothing could ruin their night, nor add any stress. Come tomorrow, they’d be in a much better place to deal with the shifting of Cynthia’s workplace… and the new messages from her coworkers.

i'm watching rvb11 again so here's a running list of everything i love about this season

contact, my beloved

a nice recap intro for anyone who is new (why...) or got lost in the sauce during 9/10!

"i'm a cyborg, you wanna bow down to me?"

grif's bit about them always holding their weapons never fails to land for me

the way that tension is built throughout this season is so good. SO fucking good. this season is all the lighthearted BGC-ness that the show had been missing for a chunk of seasons and the way that the "something's not right here" gradually grows and grows is so fucking good.

specifically, we see locus for the first time at 31:10 (i'm watching the complete one on yt) listening to wash's mayday. at 34:30 sarge uses a sniper to scope out what the reds are doing; at 46:58 we see the blues through a sniper's scope again shortly before grif and sarge bust into the blues' conversation, and then sarge hops out of the warthog without a sniper rifle on him. it's not till 53:10 that we see locus again up on the cliffside.

d: can i get a heck yeah? s: hell no. d: close enough!

the dead body as the camera pans around the refueling station... chef kiss. what an introduction to locus.

felix's intro isn't as juicy as locus's but i love the way it comes right on the heels of locus murdering a dude over wanting to tell people about the crash -- of course someone else might have found out!

the way that wash is framed so ominously when he's fixing caboose's helmet is so great too; the cracked screens on the wall mimicking the room we first see him in in 6. fantastic.

felix's massively dramatic pearl-clutchy oscar-winning introduction to the reds getting utterly wasted on the two lopezes is SO GOOD especially in light of how hard he stroked his ego over his good acting

"you're going to want to sit down for this story, it's about 20 hours long and i only enjoy telling it in five-minute intervals" is one of my all-time favorite jokes in this entire series and i manage to always forget it's from this season

wash's apology to caboose for not being there for him (or tucker) is one of my favorite wash moments in this whole arc, if not my favorite. it's such a lovely and touching moment, and it also makes me all the more furious that epsilon a) came back at all and b) was a horrific dick to tucker in particular

felix and locus snapping at each other is, again, all the funnier When You Know because felix is so transparently enjoying "riling up" locus and locus's "shut up and be glad i missed your head" is so transparently genuine

g: holy shit, did you see that? c: NO! WHAT HAPPENED? PLEASE DESCRIBE IT TO ME.

the fucking orange juice gag

💛 aggressive, paranoid, and a little melodramatic 💛

the ongoing gag of everyone thinking they had someone to do with the crash is also so fucking good

"no, i'm a freelancer. NO, I MEAN, I'M A MERCENARY-"

again, When You Know: the implication that felix murdered the three people he came to the crash site with! delicious!

caboose's radio breaking in the middle of his speech is SO funny

"man, you are just cryptic"

ugh! ugh! the reconstruction theme coming back when wash changes his armor! gets me every time!

and with donut's line i'm immediately reminded of how fandom apparently chewed itself to pieces over thinking that wash is black/gold not steel/gold lol

(H4 wasn't kind to simmons either but w/e)

dos.0 attacking and felix immediately going "this isn't right" is, yet again, so transparent in hindsight

this is also a very fun and well-done machinima battle

rocket hog my beloved

pan across the canyon my beloved

reconstruction theme again! my beloved!

tucker's reaction to finding out that wash, sarge, and donut didn't make it is also so good. his character arc on chorus is Just So Good.

and so is kimball's intro with felix -- especially in how she exerts authority over him immediately ("you're not getting paid the full amount") and we see over time just how much felix has worked to make sure that she thinks that's what their relationship is

man. kimball. my beloved.

"you just need to try."

in conclusion: still my fave season of the chorus arc, probably

Best Underrated Anime Group H Round 2: #H6 vs H4

#H6: Cozy slice of life about a high school girl with a camera

#H4: Teen Shogi prodigy grows up and battles his mental health

Details and poll under the cut!

#H6: Tamayura: Hitotose

Summary:

In her last year of middle school, Fuu Sawatari had trouble dealing with her emotions following the sudden death of her father. Through the help of her brother and childhood friend, she rediscovered her love for photography, an activity she and her father often did together. In addition, she decided to attend high school in Takehara, her father's hometown and a place they often visited when she was younger.

It has been one month now since Fuu moved to Takehara and became close with her current group of friends: carefree Kaoru Hanawa, excitable Norie Okazaki, and quiet Maon Sakurada. Together with them and several acquaintances around town and abroad, Fuu continues her mission of capturing the joys of everyday life using her father's camera, while also helping her friends discover their own passions.

Propaganda:

No stakes, only warmth. Tamayura: Hitotose is the single coziest anime I have ever watched. It is like Moomins or Studio Ghibli (without all the excitement), in that after watching it you feel like the greatest magic the world has ever known is a home-made bowl of soup, a trip to the mountains, a photograph of a memory. Which is all true. Animes like this teach you to live right, and that's why we need them. Also to teach us to be "more aggressivu!" If you ever have a really rough day/week/month/year/decade, let your soul be soothed and watch Tamayura: Hitotose.

Trigger Warnings: Unknown.

#H4: March Comes in Like a Lion (Sangatsu no Lion)

Summary:

Having reached professional status in middle school, Rei Kiriyama is one of the few elite in the world of shogi. Due to this, he faces an enormous amount of pressure, both from the shogi community and his adoptive family. Seeking independence from his tense home life, he moves into an apartment in Tokyo. As a 17-year-old living on his own, Rei tends to take poor care of himself, and his reclusive personality ostracizes him from his peers in school and at the shogi hall.

However, not long after his arrival in Tokyo, Rei meets Akari, Hinata, and Momo Kawamoto, a trio of sisters living with their grandfather who owns a traditional wagashi shop. Akari, the oldest of the three girls, is determined to combat Rei's loneliness and poorly sustained lifestyle with motherly hospitality. The Kawamoto sisters, coping with past tragedies, also share with Rei a unique familial bond that he has lacked for most of his life. As he struggles to maintain himself physically and mentally through his shogi career, Rei must learn how to interact with others and understand his own complex emotions.

Propaganda:

Sangatsu no Lion is a series that gets praise and has some awards, but it gets rarely talked about. It’s ranked highly on anime lists as being a good anime to watch, but there’s little fan engagement or video essays about it like other promising titles.

Maybe it's because the series is a slow-paced slice-of-life drama that goes over topics like mental health and the trauma of losing loved ones at a young age, and how those factors impacts the lead deeply.

Rei is a hard character to watch sometimes. He’s a doormat, shy and quiet, with crippling low self-esteem. He’s a social outcast. He puts a lot of burden on his own shoulders and blames himself for living up to people’s expectations. He’s a flawed and traumatized teenager forced to grow up too quickly.

Rei lives isolated, and that's how we're introduced to him. He has a strained relationship with his adoptive family. He has trouble interacting with his classmates. He has a few tentative friendships with the people he plays Shogi against, but Rei struggles to connect with others. It doesn't help that he feels pressured by the expectations placed on him as the fifth ever Shogi player to go pro in middle school, making him a prodigy. He's losing multiple matches and stagnating, struggling because of his mental health taking a downward spiral.

When Rei meets the Kawamoto girls, his life seems to get better. Rei initially doesn't want to get to close to the Kawamoto family for fear of rejection, but he ends up visiting often. With them, he receives the care and affection he never had in his foster home. He also learns to socialize and rely on others with his interactions with the Kawamotos, growing as a person.

Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Mild child neglect from adopted family, death of birth family, healing from mental health issues.

The plot revolves around Rei and him trying to cope with the stress of life and growing as a person. A part of this is him having to make peace with the trauma of losing his biological family and having a strained relationship with his adoptive family, who are neglectful and bitter towards him. The anime overall goes over Rei healing from his mental health issues, including battling his anxiety and issues with self-worth.

WhatsApp Clone Using HTML and CSS

What does cloning a website means?

To make a copy

Cloning a website means copying or modifying the design or script of an existing website to create a new website. Website cloning allows a designer to create a website without writing scripts from scratch.

Any website can be cloned. You are also free to integrate some additional new features while cloning your website.

Cloning a website is one of the proven methods you can use to learn web development faster. It provides basic to advanced ideas about how websites work and work, and how to integrate them.

Let’s learn how to clone a website just using HTML5 and CSS in a simple way. 

Will take an example of WhatsApp Website and will clone it. 

WhatsApp is a free cross-platform messaging service. iPhone and Android smartphone, Mac and Windows PC users can call or exchange text, photo, voice and video messages with anyone in the world for free, regardless of the recipient's device. WhatsApp uses Wi-Fi connections to communicate across platforms. This differs from Apple iMessage and Messages by Google, which require a cellular network and Short Message Service (SMS).

Key WhatsApp Terminology

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) –

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language that is standard markup language to create web pages and web-based applications

It represents the structure of a web page

It comprises of series of elements which tells the browser how to display the content

Basic Structure of a HTML Document –

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

    <title>WhatsApp Clone</title>

</head>

<body>

    <h1>let's learn Web Development</h1>

    <p>My first project - WhatsApp Cloning</p>

</body>

</html>

Let’s Explain the above code –

- It is used to defines that the document is HTML5 document

- It is the root elements on an HTML Page

- It contains all the meta information about the HTML Page

- This element contains all the visible content of the page, such as paragraph, headlines, tables, list, etc. 

- It defines the largest heading for any topic, it ranges from -

- It defines a paragraph in the HTML page

Elements – 

It is the collection of start and end tag, and in between content is inserted between them. 

It major components are– 

Opening Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content starts. 

Closing Tag – Used to tell the browser where the content material ends. 

Content – Whatever written inside the opening and closing tag is content. 

Some Most Commonly used tags are – 

– Used to define a document or section, as it contains information related to titles and heading of related content. 

– The navigation tag is used to declare navigation sections in HTML documents. Websites typically have a section dedicated to navigation links that allows users to move around the site

– Anchor tag is used for creating hyperlink on the webpage. It is used to link one web page from another. 

– It is used to define a paragraph. Content written inside tag always starts from a new line. 

– It is used to define heading of a web page. There are 6 different heading h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6. H1 is the main heading and the biggest followed by h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6.

- It is used to group multiple elements together. It helps in applying CSS. 

- Image tag is used to embed an image in a web page. 

CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) – 

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, that describes HTML elements that appear on screen, paper, or other media. 

It used for designing web pages, in order to make web pages presentable. 

It is standardized across Web Browsers and is one of the core languages of the open web system/technology.

CSS Selector – 

CSS Selectors are used to select or target the element that you want to style. Selectors are part of the CSS ruleset. CSS selectors select HTML elements by ID, class, type, attributes, etc. 

Types of CSS Selectors – 

Element Selector – It selects the HTML elements directly using name 

ID Selector – It selects the id attribute of an element. ID is always unique, in the code. So, it is used to target and apply design to a specific or a unique element. 

Class Selector - It selects the class attribute of an element. Unlike ID selector class selectors can be same of many elements. 

Universal Selector – It selects all the elements of the webpage, and apply changes to it. 

Group Selector – It is used when same style is to be applied on many elements. It helps in non-duplication of code. 

Different ways of applying CSS - 

CSS can be applied in different ways – 

Inline CSS – 

Styling is done using different attributed inside an element itself. It can be used to apply unique style for a single element.

Lucy's DDR #1: I Love Dance

My parents and friends think I love to dance. They know without me saying it. In fact, a conversation I had with two NH Medlinks (i.e. my Desmond friend and his H4 friend) went like this:

H4 friend: Oh how do you know (NH4 girl 1) and (NH4 girl 2)? Do you dance? My friend: Does she dance? All she does is dance. H4 friend: Oh cool! Are you in ADT?

Which I found very fonny. No I am not. But alas, for the past two years till now, I have always been dancing, and I really really enjoy it, and I want to get better, and I think I do really love it!

But sometimes, it's hard to love it.

Today I want to talk about a big thing I see in dancers at MIT around me, which is that they have a very stressful relationship with dance. "I might quit all dance next semester," and "The MIT dance community is so toxic," and "I don't know if I want to do <xyz advanced team> next semester or just quit" are phrases I hear often from friends who always end up dancing anywhere from 3-9 hours a week.

They love it, but they hate it. The feelings are so extreme, I think, because dance is a social activity. You make friends, close friends, through dance troupe, ADT, or teams. But with dance, you're also auditioning, getting evaluated and cut, watching yourself side by side with others, being recorded, being talked about, and talking about others. It's a social activity.

And if you start thinking about how good your other peers are compared to you, the deep deep blackhole of dance-is-the-devil is slippery and treacherous. Despite them coming in with more experience, or putting in more hours than you at the expense of grades, sleep, or social life, or having been an athlete before, etc. All of my fellow friends who started dance in college, we've talked about this shared anxiety, but yet. We're all still dancing.

Dance. Dance. Four total semesters now. Why?

My favorite semester ever dance-wise was sophomore fall. Coming back from Korea, where I took a class a week at the famous 1Million and JustJerk dance studios, I was made pretty well aware that MIT was just a spec in the dance world. Thus, I was on my own journey to enjoy the art form and become professional grade good, whether or not MIT's competitive teams wanted me as a dancer did not matter. So, in September, I joined MissBehavior, did a DT dance, and took an MIT Theater dept. class in Hip Hop Dance History and Practice.

McKersin, the lecturer, taught us the history, shared the culture, opened my eyes to the Boston scene. He became the first person ever to tell me... "you need to practice" in an objective but well-meaning way. Previously, choreo workshops and Dance Troupe were fun and good to me, but in the vacuum of no-feedback-ever, I remained convinced that I was great at dancing, and thus was so confused all the time when I got rejected from competitive auditions. Now I was beginning to know.

I practiced freestyle dance and learned choreo from videos on my own, late into the night at BC dance studio. Recording myself, and gritting my teeth as I watched my own recordings. Yuck. Dumpster trash on fire, the stench coming from those videos.

But the way my dance progress became my own? So valuable to me. Thus, I improved.

I'm on a team now, and slightly deeper in the "dance as a social activity" thing both in MIT and the Boston community. Many times, I also struggle. I think I suck, look at that guy who probably only started this year he's so much cleaner than me. And that puts me in the worst bottom of the barrel mood for an entire day. Literally, makes me feel physical pain. But I never hate on dance. It's usually myself that I hate, which is not any better.

I write this on a special day: my first day ever being picked by a choreog in a workshop. You know? As the first subgroup to record? It means you're good. It was an affirmation that I'm doing okay, after a recent wave of self-hatred, actually. Even if I don't hate dance, I struggle a lot with comparing myself, and thinking I'm actually trash and not getting better, which is the root of my friends' problems too. I'm trynna overcome this and share a positive view of dance, like the energy of today's choreographer: it's fun to do and it's safe here.

This post is a reminder to future Lucy that actually, this journey has been one of great memories and progress. So, don't hate yourself, or the art. Be kind to yourself and others. Dance. Dance. Revolution.

completely normal and sane about h4:close to you

[idreamtofmanderleyagain]

To be honest I can't fully remember if I saw H4 all the way through beginning to end...presumably I did, at one point, see all 8 of them (9 and 10 dont count and you cant make me) I am pretty sure...but...there's something so cringe about this one that I just can't bring myself to do it again. H4 to me is what H3 is to other people. It's odd to me that many claim to prefer this one to 3.

Literally aside from Angelique and a smattering of decent Pinhead lines, there's just...nothing about this movie that really grabs me. Pinhead is truly OOC, the plot bores me and it jumps back and forth through time, smugly presuming I will be riveted enough to follow it. It has none of the fun, goofy charm of H3, but all of it's clunky, bizarre cinematography and insistence on making Pinhead look and feel hammy and ridiculous in the closest close ups it can get.

It's a movie that pretends to want to be intelligent and complex, but it also really wants to justify creating some kind of weird fight scene with Pinhead but knows it cant because it would look stupid, so it mostly makes things explode around him while he Big Angy Manly Screams. It just likes to rattle him around like a little angy hamster being shook in a plastic ball. It's so dorky.

I feel like people are so obsessed with seeing "the movie that might have been" in this thing mainly because Doug and Valentina are carrying something that is and always has been broken - in all versions. Every fanfic remake so far has been more competent and engaging than what we have.

This is a movie that is basically insisting on being more about it's own bad lore more than it is about people. It's not really about Angelique's experiences, because it doesn't care much about her and basically throws her out. It's not really about Lemarchand and his descendants, because it breaks the movie into three pieces for that, giving them very little room to thrive in their own right. These characters are all just ingredients in the dish that is the plot.

I actually even think this version of the Lemarchand backstory serves to remove the mystery of the box.

I can't be the only one who thinks the gore in the sequels of this franchise is actually more on the side of ridiculous rather than cool or disturbing.

Dear diary, 

Today was strange. I came home from the get-together and ate the whole rest of the cake I made. My head hurts and I feel like my fingers smell like Ellie. I can still feel her phantom touch in my face whenever I close my eyes for too long.

Mom’s drunk, she's already completely asleep in her bedroom. I locked myself up in mine, I’m afraid she’ll smell the weed. I feel bad, guilty. I can’t sleep. I am a terrible daughter and I deserve nothing she’s ever fought to give me. I am a disappointment and I promise I won’t do anything like this ever ag- 

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────••─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

I heard a noise on my window, I first thought it was maybe a bird. One more time, I heard something hitting the frame. I got up to check and got scared by the pebble that almost hit my face. 

“Oh fuck, I’m sorry!” Ellie looked worried and embarrassed. I simply laughed.

“What are you doing here? It’s, like, four a.m”, I sat on the frame. “You should be in bed.”

“I couldn’t sleep.” She swallowed, nervously. “ Y’wanna go for a walk?” I unknowingly held my breath and bit my bottom lip to the blood. If Mama wakes up and doesn’t see me in bed she would be so worried, but at the same time, I couldn’t pretend like living under her subtle rules wasn’t killing me slowly. 

“Help me get out.” I said and Ellie smirked, giving me her hand. I jumped off the frame and tripped a little. “Where are you taking me?” I started following her down to the trees. 

“Just follow, I promise you’ll like it.” She smiled and so did I. Just then I realized she hasn’t let go of my hand since I jumped out of the window. In fact, she squeezed it from time to  time. 

I went with her up to a small clearing across the creek, we had hung out around there before. The difference is that now there was a blanket on the floor with what seemed to be a telescope on top.

“What is this?” I sat, smiling. “Where’d you get this thing?”

“Oh, this old thing? Joel found it and gave it to me when I was, like, fifteen.” She sat down by my side. “I just remembered it, y’know, when you started tracing the stars on my back and shit…” 

I felt my cheeks getting completely flustered, so I hid my face between my hands. “I am so sorry about that, it was embarrassing as hell.” I sighed and chuckled, throwing my head back.

“It’s not embarrassing, you were just high”, Ellie laughed. “T’was sweet.” Her cheeks started becoming rosy too. I laid back on the blanket. “Hey, c’mere. Let’s check this thing out.” I  scooted closer to her, looking into the telescope and then giving her some space to look too, her shoulder brushing against mine. “Damn, the sky’s always so pretty in Wyoming. It was always smokey back in Boston.” She said, looking amazed. 

“You’re from Boston? “ I asked.

“Born and raised.” She replied.  “You?”

“Nebraska. Never traveled that far.” I chuckled. “Have you ever seen the ocean? “

“ Yeah, sure! Wait… Haven’t you?” I shook my head, she looked surprised.

“Yeah…” I laughed. “Nebraska isn’t really beachy, y’know?”

She laughed, elbowing me softly. “Well, then we gotta take you somewhere that is! Where’d you like to go, miss?” 

I smiled. It was fun pretending like we weren’t trapped here forever sometimes. “Well, I think California must be nice, you know? Maybe Florida. Just don’t think we could get there by horse.” 

She laid back on the blanket, arms above her head, and sighed. “Man, I wish it was easier to find a car that actually works. I could drive ya there, you’d see the beach.” 

I watched as she laid there, the skin under her slightly open flannel chilled by the breeze. I wondered if her chest was freckled too, where did her spots end? I didn’t even realize I was staring, when something slipped my mouth. “Well, actually-” I stopped myself, but it was kinda late, she seemed interested and I couldn’t leave those forest eyes guessing. “My mom, she keeps a car battery hidden. But it’s for desperate situations, a safe way out. But don’t tell anyone I said that!”

Ellie’s hand reached for my nose, booping me like a cat. “Relax, spacegirl. Your secret’s safe with me.” She laughed and I laid on the blanket too. 

The sky was a deep blue, the stars like snowflakes. I thought I saw a beam of light or something, maybe thunder, but soon I realized: it was a shooting star. “Ellie, quick, make a wish!” I closed my eyes. “Aw shit, okay.” She closed hers too, smiling. 

“I wished for my mom to find me new records.” I smiled, “what did you wish for, Els?”

She blushed in the slightest, looking away. “Oh, yeah, I forgot to make one.”

“You’re just lying now.” I laughed. “Come on, you can tell. What would you like right now? A car? A camera? A puppy?” 

I felt her eyes analyzing every single inch of my face and her lips parting, almost involuntarily. “I wish you liked girls.” I felt my heart dropping to my feet, my throat went dry, I stayed silent. She sat up immediately, I did the same. She started putting the telescope away, getting ready to leave. 

“Wait, Ellie, don’t-” I touched her shoulder. “I… don’t like boys, I- Girls… I’ve never tried.” 

I could see her face light back up but she was trying to keep it nonchalant. “Do… you want to?” I swallowed and breathed in deeply as I simply nodded in response. Her face went straight up red, it looked like fire. I think I may have caught her by surprise. 

The girl took her left hand towards my face, tucking away a strand of hair behind my ear. I was almost panting as she got closer to me, our noses touching. My eyes went to her lips, chapped but pink, burnt from the cold. She exhaled into mine as she finally locked them in, her hand now on the side of my neck. Almost as if programmed to, I opened them up for her.

Her mouth was heavenly, her tongue felt like a warm treat. So I kissed her, I kissed like I longed for it for ages, I kissed her like a movie, I kissed her like everyone could watch. I took my hand to her neck, hers climbed its way up to my hair, holding onto it like I’d run away. But I would never, I wish we would stay like this until the end of times. 

Quickly, the simple kiss had turned hungry. I felt like she was going to eat me whole, devour me like a beast and, truthfully, I didn’t even mind, I waited for it, too. I wished for her body so bad that I wouldn’t even mind becoming part of it. It felt like an out-of-body experience how she held me like I was always hers. 

Until I heard a voice coming from beyond the creek. “Els, sorry for interrupting but she should come with me. Quick.” It was Dina, she seemed worried. I followed her, she told Ellie to not come along. 

When we went back to town near my house, I could hear my mom talking to Mike. “Just- gone! I just woke up and she wasn’t there.” Dina stepped closer, “found her!” She smiled, not really knowing what to say. 

Mama took into a tight hug. “Oh my God, you scared me so much!” I could smell the worry in her, or maybe it was just the alcohol. Didn’t take long for her to switch and slightly shake me. “Where the hell were you!?” I froze. 

“I- I was just stargazing, with Dina, you were asleep-” I didn’t have a clue what to say, I am a terrible liar. Always been. 

“Don’t you lie to me! Where were you?!” Her voice became angrier. “You were with that girl again, weren’t you? Joel 's girl? I told you to stay away from her!”

“No, mom, I wasn’t with Ellie, I swear.” My lip was trembling. “I just went for a walk! I thought you were asleep…” 

“Go home. Right now. Go.” She looked so disappointed. My eyes filled with water, I had never seen her like that. Mike tried waving goodbye to me but I was so  distraught that I didn’t even pay attention. I just went straight back home and cried in my room for the rest of the night, sitting on the windowsill. I felt unworthy.

LOL thanks for the long reply. I disagree on Harry's rising tho. his hair is not curly but messed up, and I dont know as much astrology as you, but i know how certain risings makes me feel. I have North Node scorpio and they have always intrigued me, but Harry never did. Scorpio rising had a certain "lacking and oppressed" inner energy about them even if they are never abused or face pain in life. The way Harry WAS abused and pressured but kinda just knew it and recited it to us and never viewed that as something heavy like it should be. The way people think Harry SHOULD be more traumatised, but he isnt, is the mark of Aquarius rising, and the good things about healthy versions. They make anything negative LOOK lighter because they arent the deeply emotional and tortured Scorpio is. (Harry is but that's his Leo sun)

GINNY is more likely to be Scorpio rising because she had that "being held back" energy earlier when she was shy and always hiding (her h4 Aquarius do talk about Harry at home a lot lol), but later her Leo sun shines in public conjunct her MC, and i have always had a crush on her lol. Hinny is a good couple in their risings.

I spoke to @danpuff-ao3 about this a while ago and basically realised that every single one of us (unless using rectification methods, and even then, it's iffy) has a way of looking at the world, and we're meant to perceive (through the Ascendant, for example, or the other personal placements) the world. While talking to Danni, we shared our findings of Ascendants, but for some reason or the other, we couldn't agree with the other. We laughed and moved on.

I have Scorpio in my 3H (supposed to be my close-knit friend group, and people I can relate to easily). I never properly connected to a Scorpio in my life the way I vibed with Libra, or any other sign. So, above all the Timelord thing with Harry, Uranus (lightning) conjunct his Ascendant, Jupiter conjunct his MC (being seen as lucky), Pisces (enmeshment) 4th house (enmeshed families that stifle individuality and freedom, feeling called to sacrifice when it comes to safety/home), Moon in 4th (comfort from the idea of family), etc, I trusted my gut as well. The same as Danni and you, I experienced Harry differently. I couldn't find it in myself to sympathise with Harry's childhood (while I could understand Severus' and Voldemort's). It made sense that he'd be a Scorpio rising to me.

I haven't yet shed all my biases to say that I've actually rectified these charts with the highest objectivity (eg, my reservation of Aqua rising for bullies 💀). And even if I could, people connect to characters differently so a Character's chart can't ever truly be rectified to fulfillment. So, I ended up using the chart Rowling gave us.

I've never thought about Ginny (besides agreeing that I do ship her with Harry in the Het sense) but awww, you had a crush on her!

Just from their rising? Oh, Aquarius and Scorpio usually make Squares but maybe they share something more harmonious. Actually, even if it squares, it brings more spice.

Speaking of spice, Ginny's Sun and Mercury are almost exactly conjunct with Harry's North Node. Oh yes, she was his destiny, and it was spice. Lol, I already shipped them before but they are cute in compatibility.

If you've noticed (TL;DR), in true mutable fashion, I've let you know that I'm biased towards Aqua risings so MAYBE Harry could be one (he doesn't have weird teeth, though, does he?).

Stochastic Oscillator Ninja Moves for US Dollar vs Swiss Franc The One Indicator Traders Use Wrong (And How You Can Outsmart Them) Ever feel like trading Forex is like trying to predict the mood of a cat—one minute it’s purring, and the next it’s scratching your face? Yeah, I feel you. Today, we’re talking about the Stochastic Oscillator (not an eighties hair band, I promise) and how it can help you trade the US Dollar versus the Swiss Franc (USD/CHF) with the accuracy of a market ninja—not like that guy in the sitcom who presses the wrong button, causing the whole apartment to flood. The core focus here? Avoiding those mistakes with game-changing ideas. Trust me, once you know these Stochastic secrets, it’ll feel less like wrestling with a cat and more like petting a sleepy kitten. Hidden Moves of the Stochastic Oscillator 1. The Forgotten Zones: Where Real Profits Lie Forget about the typical 20/80 levels—everyone and their neighbor's dog uses those. The truth is, relying on the standard overbought and oversold zones is like buying a pair of sale shoes just because they’re 80% off. You never wear them, and they just end up mocking you from the closet. Similarly, if you blindly trust the default levels, you’ll end up with a bunch of trades you wish you could forget. The insider trick? Start thinking like a contrarian. Adjust your Stochastic settings to suit different market conditions—think 15 and 85 for trending markets. This tweak alone can help you sidestep overtrading and pinpoint those "hidden gems" where profit truly lies. 2. When Divergence Whispers, Listen Closely Divergence is like an old friend hinting you shouldn’t go on that second date—it’s subtle but powerful. Most traders ignore divergence between price action and the Stochastic Oscillator because it's not shouting at them like a big red sell button. But divergence is the ultimate hidden weapon. Imagine this: Price keeps climbing, but Stochastic says, "Nah, I’m not feeling it." You’ve just found a major clue that momentum is about to turn—like a secret handshake among pros. Traders who learn to act on these whispers often find themselves avoiding the pitfalls others plunge into. 3. False Signals? Let Me Introduce You to Multi-Timeframe Analysis Now, if you’re reading this thinking, "Sure, but Stochastic gives false signals all the time!", congratulations, you’re already ahead of the game. Stochastic alone is not the holy grail. But what if I told you it becomes a lot more reliable when you back it up with multi-timeframe analysis? Start with the H4 chart—this one is like your senior partner who’s been around the block. Once you see a setup there, switch to the H1 to fine-tune your entry. Using Stochastic across multiple timeframes is like seeing a trailer before deciding to watch the entire movie. Get those higher timeframes on board, and your chances of avoiding "bad movie night" trades go through the roof. 4. Trading the "Swissie" (USD/CHF): Understand the Economic Dance The US Dollar and the Swiss Franc have a relationship more complex than a soap opera plot—they're affected by every global twist and turn. Switzerland is the refuge when stuff hits the fan, while the US Dollar flexes its muscles whenever the Fed hikes rates or the economy chugs along. If you’re using the Stochastic Oscillator to time your trades on USD/CHF, it’s critical to keep an eye on these dynamics. An unexpected rate hike announcement by the Federal Reserve, for example, can make USD/CHF sprint faster than a cat hearing a can opener. Don't just trust the indicators—keep one ear on the news and one eye on the charts. 5. The PMI Twist Economic indicators like the PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) add another layer of nuance to your trading game. When Swiss PMI drops, it’s a sign that their economic engine isn’t humming quite as efficiently, which can drive money toward the Dollar—again, making your Stochastic setups even more relevant. Pairing a weak PMI with a Stochastic oversold signal could be your ticket to a well-timed "buy." Think of it like this: You’re doubling down on the signs—one from the charts, and one from the broader economic scene. Elite Ninja Tactic: Stochastic + EMA Crosses If you’re a Forex ninja in training, combining the Stochastic Oscillator with Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) is like arming yourself with a katana. When the 20-EMA crosses above the 50-EMA, and the Stochastic Oscillator is pulling itself out of an oversold area, you have a high-probability setup that’s well worth the wait. Patience, grasshopper—this combo can yield some of the most strategic moves in the USD/CHF market. Plus, this layered approach helps confirm the real momentum shift and cuts down those frustrating fakeouts. The Only Mistake Costlier Than Not Using Stochastic Ready for a truth bomb? The only mistake costlier than misusing the Stochastic Oscillator is ignoring it entirely. I’ve seen traders ignore Stochastic signals and end up in losing trades—kind of like buying plane tickets without checking if your passport's still valid. The Stochastic can guide you on when to avoid boarding that particular trade. Instead, think of it like your seatbelt for USD/CHF volatility. It’s not the engine—but it’ll save you from flying out the window when the market suddenly turns. Turning Market Whispers into Wealth So there you have it, folks. The Stochastic Oscillator isn't just a tool—it's a secret decoder for the currency pair that traders either misuse or ignore completely. Remember to adapt your settings, listen to those divergences, and use multiple timeframes like a ninja backing up a teammate. Don't forget to pay attention to the drama between the Dollar and the Franc and let those economic indicators like PMI give you a heads-up when the market mood shifts. Next time you think about USD/CHF, think about how you can make the Stochastic work like an insider spy for you—not just a guesswork gauge. And hey, if you want to keep digging into these "underground" techniques, the StarseedFX community is where the real action happens.
