LIVE CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS REACTION:

[createandconstruct]

Any dadmight headcanons?? 👀👉👈

An excuse to gush about dadmight?????? Anon...thank you so much 🥹

I don't even know how to organize these so I'm just gonna start??? (Under read more cause we kinda lost control?)

During those 10 months of training Izuku actually opened up a lot to All Might. Some of this is Toshi probing but it's also because for the first time Izuku actually feels like someone is really, truly listening to him

Toshi knows (but also infers because Izuku isn't one to point blame) the extent of the bullying and Bakugou's involvement in it, but Izuku made him promise not to do or say anything about it

Which yes Toshi kept his word but he also made sure the behavior was absolutely not continuing as Izuku promised it wasn't (cue Toshinori texting Izuku more frequently, eyeing him for injury a little more carefully during training, asking a few more questions about his day, and giving him a ride home even when Izuku insists he doesn't need it)

This, on top of answering Izuku's training questions for days they don't meet, actually opens the floodgates for them to start messaging each other quite frequently

Though Toshinori definitely prefers talking face to face or on a phone call. Case in point: he's horrible at responding. The first couple weeks of their messaging this stresses Izuku the fuck out because he follows hero news so he knows when All Might is out fighting so when the man isn't and isn't answering - well obviously Izuku screwed something up, All Might's annoyed, and Izuku's ruined the one single great thing he's ever gotten

What follows is a training session where Izuku is sullen and not at all as energetic as he usually is which prompts Toshi to so gently ask him what's wrong. It's so caring and sincere that Izuku crumbles stammering out apologies for bothering All Might with his over texting and Toshi is simply ?????? because he was convinced he had responded? And Izuku is just ?????? And they both look at their messages and then All Might is apologizing because he saw those messages and really thought he had texted Izuku back! And oh! It was a misunderstanding! Thank goodness! Training ends early as Izuku can't stop crying with relief. It leaves Toshi flailing a bit at the reaction and it's what really solidifies how easy to tears the kid actually is.

But this is what forces Toshi to realize he needs to get a little better at being a bit more prompt with his replies. He's a little out of practice considering the only person he's talked to in the last few years in Tsukauchi

Once Izuku starts UA they don't message each other as often since they pretty much see each other everyday but Izuku will sometimes send off a little report about how his day or a specific class went if he doesn't have heroics

Toshi is also very much an emote/emoji user and loves the thumbs up. Izuku loves it too because whenever Toshi sends one he can practically envision his hero throwing it up with a smile right there in front of him.

(Spoilers for the end of manga) I imagine that when Izuku graduates and starts attending university for teaching things slightly shift though and he is absolutely FLOODED by messages. Toshi steps back from teaching and actually takes time to enjoy his retirement. He travels quite a bit (in part because of the Iron Deku armor) but it barely even feels like he's gone for Izuku because legit Every. Free. Moment Toshinori is sending Izuku pictures and little updates from his trips

And the messages are a spectrum. Izuku either gets random photos with 0 context and no caption while he's in the middle of lecture OR Toshinori sends a picture with some silly caption or pun followed by an entire PARAGRAPH of what he's up to

And while the novelty of All Might texting him never truly wears off sometimes Izuku's so busy that he can't respond right away

There's a one time where Toshi, all the way across the Pacific, doesn't get a response (because Izuku has just stayed up all night writing a term paper like the good little college student he is) and (admittedly, a little selfishly, cause Toshi's allowed to be) he just sends Izuku a : (

Izuku wakes up, sees it, and is h o r r i f i e d

He sends a frantic apologetic message and Toshi calls him back laughing and telling him not worry. He tells Izuku to make it up to him by taking a break from studying to go out to eat with him once he's back in Japan

On the topic of traveling, Toshi also ALWAYS brings Izuku souvenirs back. The first few trips he gets little touristy items per the location and while Izuku is always happy and appreciative Toshi ends up going back to gifting rare, exclusive hero merch he sometimes finds (searches/pulls some strings for) because that's still the thing that makes Izuku beam and that's all Toshinori wants to do in his later years

And whenever Toshi is back home they spend quite a lot of time together. They'll see movies together, go out for food, and sometimes Izuku will drop by Toshi's place and just to do homework since it's quiet and they both appreciate the company. Izuku has even fall asleep a few times there and it always makes Toshinori all the more thankful he'd gotten a place with a guest room. One that is specifically tailored to Izuku's preferences mind you.

genuine question, why is bi lesbianism so bad? I thought bisexuals and lesbians shared the experience of wlw and nblw attraction, and bi lesbian was for people who were in a questioning phase. Please don’t answer this if it makes you uncomfortable at all, I just actually want to educate myself by listening to lesbians.

I appreciate your politeness, anon, so I'll give you a moment of my time. Let's start with basic definitions and understanding. Lesbianism does not include men in any capacity. It is limited to women and nonbinary identities only. Bisexuality does. It includes attraction to multiple gender identities, women, nonbinary, men, ect. It is why they exist as separate labels in the community in the first place. So while bisexuals and lesbians share the same attraction to women and nonbinary identities, there is a key difference, and that is the exclusion of men in lesbianism.

The bi-lesbian label seeks to redefine lesbian it into being a modifier to imply heavy attraction to women, but inclusive of men. But there is also no need to redefine the lesbian label to be a 'modifier', lesbian exists on it's own. Modifiers like Sapphic already exist and are great to use and are not redundant and lesbophobic, unlike tacking on 'lesbian' to bisexual.

Bi-lesbianism is also harmful as by re-defining lesbian to being inclusive towards men, it has opened floodgates for casual transphobia, lesbophobia, and biphobia.

People will insist trans-men can be lesbians due to their "female body" or "connection to womanhood", or imply trans-women aren't fully women through the same patterns of thought regarding their 'biology'. They especially love to categorize femboys and trans-women as the same (especially pre-op trans-women) when it comes to the sapphic experience as they claim that there is no way to note a difference between the two.

They'll also insist that a real bisexual has to be based on equal percentages of attraction, which is a stigma the bisexual community fought against in the 90s. And I really shouldn't have to explain why it's lesbophobic at this point in the post, honestly.

Also I'd like to note that bi-lesbians like to claim that lesbian is 'technically bisexual' as it includes nonbinary identities. This is false as nonbinary is not a 3rd gender, but it exists outside the binary of male/female and is a spectrum. Declaring nonbinary as a 3rd gender is incredibly enbyphobic as it erases the diverse experience of nonbinary identities.

All in all this is a very introductory explanation of why the label itself is bad, and it's pretty condensed for ease of reading. Thanks for taking the time to listen to lesbians, anon.

Carl the Collector has been reviewed by Common Sense Media, who gave it a 4/5 and a Common Sense Selection seal of approval. To be honest, I don't really like this website that much because some of their reviews (such as the Codename: Kids Next Door one) are just awful, and the user reviews open the floodgates for Karens and bored teenagers who hate on kids shows for no reason. In fact, there is a one-star review by a 17 year old already, but don't pay attention to it. However, it is good that they gave Carl a relatively positive review. Apparently, there's a paywall on their site after reading three articles, so I'll just copy and paste what they wrote here:

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Carl the Collector is an animated series about a young raccoon with autism (voiced by Kai Barham, who is also neurodiverse) and his woodland creature friends in Fuzzytown. The series celebrates inclusion and encourages noticing each other's similarities and differences. Characters are kind, helpful, and empathetic, learning to express their emotions and work through problems together. There's no iffy content, making the series appropriate for all ages

Any Positive Content?

Positive Messages - Positive messages around including different types of friends in your play, with a focus on neurodivergent friends on the autism spectrum. A strong focus on being kind and helpful to others, as well as expressing your emotions and working through problems together.

Positive Role Models - The characters are all kind, helpful, and empathetic to one another. They model how to work through problems and how to express emotions. They often put others' needs and interests before their own. They do not always get along, but they work together to make it right.

Educational Value - The show models positive problem-solving and social-emotional skills.

Diverse Representations - The show features two characters on the autism spectrum, the lead character Carl the raccoon and supporting character Lotta the fox. They each experience autism in different ways. The characters don't talk about autism, and don't point out the autistic characters' differences. Behind-the-scenes, the production team includes neurodiverse writers, animators, voice talent, and advisors. Other representation includes Forrest the squirrel, who has a tree nut allergy, and Carl whose parents are separated (Carl spends some time living with each). Gender-wise, the supporting characters are both boys and girls, and includes Carl's best friend Sheldon who is an empathetic and sensitive boy. The characters are all animals, and none have an implied race.

What's the Story?

In CARL THE COLLECTOR, Carl (Kai Barham) is a warm-hearted autistic kid raccoon who loves to collect different items. He is extremely detail-oriented, and appreciates all the special qualities of his various collections which range from fake mustaches to bottle caps. Whenever he has a problem, Carl calls up best friend Sheldon (Peter Laurie) the beaver with his walkie-talkie. Carl and Sheldon's other Fuzzytown friends Lotta the fox, Forrest the squirrel, and twin bunnies Nico and Arugula also join in on the day's adventures. They work together to help Carl with everyday problems like organizing his massive stuffed animal collection or tracking down his runaway bouncy ball collection. Carl's Mama (Heather Bambrick) guides the kids as they work through difficult problems and disagreements. They learn about each other's similarities and differences, and have lots of fun along the way.

Is It Any Good?

Creator Zachariah OHora (children's book writer and illustrator) calls his universe of characters "Fuzzytown," and Carl the Collector is sure to give kids and grown-ups the warm fuzzies. Its characters are super relatable: They try really hard to be good friends, but they don't always get it right. They have troubles recognizable to any young kid (like being asked to part with precious stuffed animals). The voice actors sound like real kids, making it seem like the characters could be a friend in real life. OHora's exquisite art is featured in the show's animation, and watching feels like jumping into a picture book. Grown-ups will appreciate the slow, calm pacing and overall gentleness of the show.

Carl the Collector is the first PBS KIDS show to feature a main character on the autism spectrum, and it does a great job of showing how two different characters (Carl and supporting character Lotta) experience autism differently. It simultaneously shows true-to-life characteristics of people with autism, without calling out the differences in a way that feels othering. The neurotypical kids on the show treat the neurodiverse kids the same as their other friends, while having extra sensitivity to how Carl and Lotta interpret the world. It's a beautiful celebration of appreciating everyone's unique qualities.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the empathy characters show in Carl the Collector, or when one character is able to understand the feelings of another character. Sheldon is really good at understanding how Carl is feeling, and helping him to work through tricky situations. Can you think of how Sheldon is empathetic to Carl?

All of the animals in Carl the Collector are really good at communicating how they're feeling. Can you think of a time in the story when one character told another one how they are feeling?

Carl and Lotta are on the autism spectrum, which means their brains and bodies experience the world differently than people who are not on the autism spectrum. How are your friends different than you? How do you find a way to play together even though you're different?

This review confirms that Carl's parents are separated, which is different from being divorced. A legal separation is when a couple lives apart from each other but are technically still married. It's basically like a 'cooling off' period.

8 for Fiona (+14 for you)

hihi o/ thank you for dropping by!! questions from [this] ask game

14. Do you have ocs on the aro or ace spectrum?

Yes! Rams is asexual and Rin is aromantic!!

8. Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons?

you have opened up the floodgates. I'll post the rest under the read more because it is long.

Both actually!

Starting with the internal side, when Fiona was 12 he learned about queer people through a church sponsored 'sex-ed' class over the summer in Nigeria. Nigeria is highly hostile to queer people. Needless to say, it was not a very accepting lesson.

It demonized queer people, made them monsters of the community, warned all of them to be careful because if these young children --barely starting their exploration of themselves-- weren't, then they'd get you. And if you were one of Them, then you weren't part of Us.

Being queer was to be a danger.

So what happens when Fiona, already struggling with wanting things outside the 'manly' sphere realizes he also wants other men? What happens to a child that has been taught that anything besides aggressive attraction to women is poisonous.

What happens is that child, Fiona, begins to self-isolate. He doubles down on being straight, doubles down on being a 'man', doubles down on being religious, doubles down on stifling himself for the sake of his community because if he didn't then he would damn them all.

And in the end, he's dying. He can't let anyone know why he's dying. They'd only kill him faster.

Even now years after coming out (it went horribly, worse than a disaster, and, uh, if Fiona could erase it from his life he probably would.) Fiona still struggles. There's the insistent doubt that he's wrong that none of what he is is normal. That he's killing the people around him because he is refusing to kill himself.

On the external side of things, we'll need a little context. So, in Igboland, no one really 'dies'. Igbo naming conventions have an order. The first son of a family is named after their paternal grandfather, the first daughter after their paternal grandmother, the second son after their maternal father and so on. This stems from a traditional belief that children carry the soul of their grandparents. A child is a continuation of a never broken chain of ancestors. So no family member is ever truly gone, they're simply in the next generation —just look.

But that also means his parents have a vested interest to make sure he marries a woman and has children. At least one girl and boy. Why? If he doesn’t then Fiona’s parents would truly die. There would be generation to see them in.

Fiona is an only child (he had a sister but she was stillborn). If they can’t make Fiona have a child then that unbroken chain of family will shatter with him. His parent cannot let that. They cannot raise a man who would murder everyone they love.

Fiona has a poison and they must give him an antidote even if it slaughters they only child they have. (<- note the use of ‘has’ —as if Fiona’s bisexuality and non-conformity is something he can throw away if they just press hard enough)

Right now, Fiona’s parents are trying to socially isolate him. They haven’t spoken to him in any meaningful capacity since his 2nd year at law school.

In summary, Fiona is facing social isolation from his family + internal struggles!

good times 😬

[midnightsun-if]

(Anon that submitted the nightmare ask)

Boy did some floodgates open their, lmao

Not interested in romance persay but it legit makes me sad that Cienna doesn't consider herself close with MC. While I adore all the siblings; we all need some support and Cienna takes on soooo much I hope she has someone to talk too.

Cienna I HC as being the person my MC secretly looks up too and feels closest too but just won't admit it.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I absolutely adore writing for The Siblings, and the MCs Family in general, because of how integral I find them to Midnight Sun in the grand scheme of things— it may not be in the most obvious ways, but being able to explore the individuals that no doubt had an influence on who the MC is? As well as continuously grow the existing relationships among each other? It’s such a fun thing to do and I can’t wait to get to later scenes wherein they can visit Aurelian and everything else.

I get the romance thing completely. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, which is completely fine!

As for Cienna? She takes on a lot because she truly feels that it’s her duty to do so. (Helena has tried to hammer it into her skull that she shouldn’t go too far with it, but Cienna doesn’t listen when it comes to that.) Being the Heir, she feels like she has so much more to prove— to herself, to her mothers, even her siblings, because she wants to be worthy of that title. She doesn’t want her siblings to feel like she just lucked out on becoming the Heir because she’s the eldest— even deeper feelings will be explored more later on in the story— but she’s definitely going through it, even though she’s a lot better at hiding it than Christian. And she doesn’t have someone to talk to, not because no one would be there, but she firmly believes that the weight she carries is normal, and it should be expected, and all the problems that come with it are just things she has to soldier through.

As for why Cienna doesn’t feel like she’s close with the MC? It’s not because she doesn’t love you, she absolutely does as you can see, but she feels like she doesn’t have anything to truly offer you. (And again more of that’ll be explored later on… It’s a whole thing that I’m excited to get deeper into.)

I absolutely adore that HC! I can completely see the MC admitting that to Cienna during a later conversation that leans towards the emotional side of the spectrum… Which means that HC may become canon. I think the MC saying that to her would be such a gift. One that you wouldn’t ever truly understand the price of.

Some Clara questions! Where's somewhere she's always wanted to go but never gotten a chance to? What was her favourite subject in school? What's her favourite colour? Has she ever been in love?

CLARA QUESTIONS YAY <3

Where's somewhere she's always wanted to go but never gotten a chance to?

She was once on a mission in Barcelona and she saw so many people milling about, enjoying their day and smelled so many delicious food places it made her head spin. She never got the chance to go anywhere just because the mission was high stakes and time sensitive. (Pursuit that ended with her running from rooftop to rooftop, slipping on so many ceramic shingles she lost count) Technically she's visited but she wants to go there and do things right, really savor the city!

What was her favourite subject in school?

Clara hated school in general (was not popular but was generally liked, kind of in her own bubble and forgettable), but definitely enjoyed both art and welding. She can't draw people for shit but always really enjoyed drawing inanimate objects with graphite- and also she is a very talented welder. (She probably made a sign for the 141 at some point and HAD to point out the quality of her welds because she was so pleased with herself.)

What's her favourite colour?

She's a big fan of green. If you ask her to be specific she's kind of on opposite ends of the spectrum- she loves both a dark forest green and a bright neon green. (She follows that old lady that loves the color green online and she will always get excited when that gal posts!!)

Has she ever been in love?

I think she has! She's got a big big heart and even though it is a pain in the ass to get her to open up, once you do it is like floodgates opening. She's an old fashioned romantic at heart and her main love languages are physical touch and acts of service! She is very househusband core. She would keep her partner private online but simultaneously be that person where her partner is on her lockscreen, on a locket around her neck, her desktop wallpaper, etc.

[butchcarmy]

No but like that blurb about Carmy needing to be held? To be taken care of? PLEASE. Like I keep having this recurring headcannon inspired by your Carmy and roommate reader. Like Carm comes home from work early on roommate’s day off because he’s not feeling good (could be physically or mentally, but knowing Carmy, it’s probably both). He’s just going to hole himself up in his room so he’s not a bother. Except roommate is 100% like “Carm, do you want to be on the couch or bed? OJ or Apple juice? Tylenol or Advil? Soup now, or soup later?” And basically just plans their whole day off around making sure Carmy is the MOST taken care of. And he feels so shit and wants it so bad that he just lets it happen. If we want to go extra angst, roommate suggest watching Heartstopper as a mindless comfort fluff show but then by the end of binging season two Carmy is a blubbering wreck because he’s bi and on the ace spectrum (Carmy has such demisexual vibes, convince me otherwise) and he’s never really told anyone or even fully acknowledged it and he’s been so alone and disconnected from himself and the world for so long and the floodgates just OPEN and roommate just holds him and encourages him to let it all out… his childhood, the neglect, the abuse from New York, losing Mikey…. It just all comes out and he lets himself be held through it all. They ground him and keep him from drowning in the shit he’s suppressed since forever. And there’s no going back after that. Carmy is like a fucking octopus whenever they’re around roommate after, and they both love it and that’s just how it is.

WEHHHH okay first of all i'm so happy to hear that you could b thinking of this in my roommate au!! that brings me a lot of joy :)

anyway YEAH this is a great time for me to mention that bc i'm queer as hell any character I get obsessed with is automatically queer in someway. so yeah carmy is bi as hell and he TOTALLY reads as demisexual, i love that so much!! i've never seen heartstopper but i think i should (esp since it may destroy me it seems)

OUGHHH him learning to learn on his roomie and not isolate himself!! i love it!! to shamelessly plug ch 4 of the roomie fic because... well... it may or may not be very related to what this ask is about... how did you know i was gonna write about this!!!!!

i'm a sucker for hurt characters learning how to love and trust again and learn the joy of being vulnerable around others... OUGHHHH CARMY ONCE I GET MY HANDS ON YOU

[authortobenamedlater]

Ahhh, I wanna ask all of the questions for the ask game! XD But for now, how about: 1, 7, 18, 22

Choose Violence asks

the character everyone gets wrong

This is a LOT for Star Wars 😂 Low-hanging fruit here is Anakin. I get annoyed when he’s painted as an innocent victim at the hands of the cold and uncaring Jedi, or the opposite end of the spectrum where Anakin was just plain evil and never should have had an opportunity to turn back. The second one is an issue I have with fandom at large, really.

Part of what’s kept me from writing my MCU-ish Episode III AU is I don’t want to deal with everyone telling me I got Anakin wrong. Even if I did get him wrong 🤣 I just don’t need the drama.

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

I get irritated with how people act about Obi-Wan and Boba Fett sometimes, but it doesn’t make me hate the characters. I don’t hate any Star Wars characters, as I think about it.

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

This fandom doesn’t sleep on much. A couple of years ago I would have said the incredibly crackish yet highly plausible political romance between Mando and Bo-Katan. Those floodgates are wide open now though 😂

I haven’t been active in the fanfic side of TCW for awhile, but there was rather a dearth of post-Umbara stories. I had one in progress that I lost in my computer crash and want to resurrect but I can’t bring myself to write it again yet. Heavy angst sometimes wears me out before I can finish it.

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

Uhhhhh. Hm. I’m not sure I have a favorite part that everyone ignores for Star Wars.

I do think Bail and Obi-Wan’s bromance/teamwork is underrated, but even canon kinda ignores that and the books about it are Legends now. This would be a big part of that Episode III AU if I ever wrote it.

Bakgatla Tribe Opens the Floodgates on Potential

by Kgosi Nyalala Pilane, Chief of the Bakgatla Tribe in Northwest The North West province’s Pilanesberg region has long been one of South Africa’s most-visited tourist zones; for its world-renowned game reserve, and – on the other side of the spectrum – its luxury resorts and lodges.

Bulk SMS to DND

In the realm of expanding communication channels, the burgeon of Bulk SMS Services has emerged as a powerful conduit for businesses to connect with their potential customers and keep them well-informed. It stands out as the unparalleled tool that directly reaches customers, regardless of the business's size or nature. An intriguing aspect of this dynamic landscape is the ability to send Bulk SMS to DND (Do Not Disturb) numbers, a feat made possible by adhering to the guidelines set forth by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).

DND numbers, as the acronym implies, belong to individuals who have opted to be undisturbed by promotional and marketing SMS/Calls. TRAI mandates that such numbers remain shielded from the incessant barrage of marketing communications. On the flip side, non-DND numbers are fair game for various promotional endeavors.

The question then arises: How can one successfully send Bulk SMS to DND numbers without violating the established norms? The answer lies in leveraging the Transactional and Quick Transactional routes.

Firstly, the Transactional route serves as a gateway for sending Bulk SMS to DND numbers, provided the content remains non-promotional. This route is tailor-made for dispatching urgent and crucial messages to customers regarding products or services. The beauty of the Transactional route is its 24*7 availability, devoid of any time restrictions. To embark on this journey, businesses, whether big or small, can avail themselves of transactional SMS services by submitting essential company documents such as Aadhar Card and PAN Card for verification.

In a refreshing twist, Dove Soft Ltd, a bulk SMS provider in India, introduces the Quick Transactional route, a recent addition to the spectrum of possibilities. This route offers a streamlined approach, sparing users from the cumbersome process of document submission and verification. Instead, businesses only need to submit a message template for approval. Once the template gains the green light, the floodgates open, enabling the hassle-free transmission of Bulk SMS to DND numbers.

In conclusion, as businesses navigate the ever-evolving landscape of communication strategies, the ability to send Bulk SMS to DND numbers emerges as a crucial tool. Whether opting for the established Transactional route or the innovative Quick Transactional route, businesses can find a reliable means to connect with their audience, respecting their preferences while ensuring essential information reaches them effectively.

UPDATE: Markethive On The Cusp Of Internal Wallet Launch

UPDATE: Markethive On The Cusp Of Internal Wallet Launch

Great things are taking place behind the scenes at Markethive. It’s time for another important update, as we are on the cusp of releasing what has been an extraordinary task of building and integrating an extremely complex wallet and accounts system into Markethive. This has never been done before in the social media, marketing, and broadcasting spectrum. Hence, we’ve needed to take every precaution to make it impenetrable in terms of security and achieve scalability for the influx of users once the floodgates open. 

  The way forward for any business is to be online, given the current state of the world, not to mention the virtual technology that has become part of our daily lives. Considering the many entrepreneurs, businesses, and startups that use Markethive for various reasons, it embodies a cottage industry, allowing members to monetize their various initiatives within Markethive. Individual merchant accounts for eCommerce payments from your storefronts are just one aspect that will be available. Find out more about that here.  

Image source: ILP. A Powerful Way To Spread The Wealth 

Bonus ILPs Just Got Bigger

As all Entrepreneur One holders will know, the 0.5 ILP bonus for the last year’s loyalty to Markethive will be added to your wallet under the ILP summary by the end of February 2023. But wait, there’s more…

  The CEO and founder of Markethive, Thomas Prendergast, has announced there will be another bonus of 1 ILP for all Entrepreneur One Upgrades who stay current with their subscription from February 2023 until February 2024. That means, as well as the 0.1 ILP you accumulate yearly, you will receive one whole ILP as a bonus for being consistent with your E1 subscriptions for that 12 months. 

  Also, if you have any number of accounts, for example, ten E1 accounts, you will receive a bonus of 1 ILP for each account. It is a highly generous gesture and one that will be upheld. It is a gift for your loyalty, so the acquisition of your regular portions of ILPs is not negated; it is not capped.    

Entrepreneur One Promo Code Pending

Apart from the many other benefits of being an E1, the Promo Code gives a substantial advantage in your marketing efforts. Attach the Promo code to your Markethive capture page or storefront group for prospective sign-ups or members participating in your offer. 

  You can use any of the Markethive products, such as The Boost or Wheel of Fortune, impressions and tokens, pay with Hivecoin, and offer these giveaways as an incentive. So, not only do they get the Markethive airdrop of tokens upon joining, but they also receive extra rewards to help them in their marketing efforts. The great news is that the Promo Code is on the threshold of being released to Entrepreneur One members. 

  The Entrepreneur One Exchange  

Once the release of the wallet is announced, the Entrepreneur One Upgrade will not be available for any new or free members from the Markethive administration. However, there will be an E1 Exchange where existing E1 associates can sell their E1 accounts to any member who desires the subscription. Some members have more than one or even ten E1 accounts, so they may choose to sell one. 

  This means the person buying the E1 assumes the monthly subscription and, if the account is kept current, will receive a 0.1 ILP at the end of 12 months of consecutive payments. This will accumulate for 20 years, whereby a balloon payment is paid out, or you have the option to continue and roll it over.  

  It’s important to note the E1 associates that sell their accounts will keep the ILPs they’ve accumulated. They will not be given to the new subscriber. The new subscriber will earn their own ILP portions when they take over the account. 

  It’s also important to note that if you decide to opt out of the E1 subscription, the ILPs or part thereof you have garnered to date remain active, and you will be compensated when the revenue payments commence.  The Entrepreneur One Upgrade is fundamentally a way to reward loyal associates of an ILP worth $10,000 for only $1,200 or $1000 if you pay the subscription yearly.

Wallet Security Ready – Wallet Launch On The Cusp

Phase Two of the wallet, which includes the extra layer of security, the 2FA, is complete and activated. It’s crunch time for Phase Three and on the verge of launching the wallet. The technology built for our cold and hot wallet security is now ready for the interfaces to be installed and will be in the BETA phase for approximately two weeks. The announcement of the wallet release will take place soon after, along with the Promo Code advantage for Entrepreneur Ones only. 

  Immediately following the wallet launch, the Premium Upgrade will be activated for members who want to take advantage of the many features and benefits that will accelerate their earnings and results. The upgrade has five price levels starting at $9.95 per month. You can find out more about the Premium Upgrade here. 

  The revenue generated from the Premium Upgrade initiative is primarily income which means the ILP holders can look forward to the dividends of their ILP shares. Also, once the wallet is ‘all systems go,’ the new dashboard development and integration is the priority. This is an exciting time for Markethive and its community; all is coming to fruition, and all in the Lord’s timing.  

Bitcoin Talk Engagement

With all the security in place, it’s time to introduce Markethive and our coin to the world of crypto exchanges. Also, prepare for coin transactions in our four coin wallets, Hivecoin, Bitcoin, Solana, and Elrond, in the Markethive internal wallet. 

  As part of Phase Three, the final stage before launching the wallet, we, as a community, are obliged to help get the word out and increase the posting activity at the Bitcoin Talk Forum. This prominent crypto meeting place is the #1 place to create activity, and crypto exchanges use it for their due diligence on prospective coins that have applied to be listed. They also look at how old, and active the thread is, so the more active, the better. 

  As discussed at the last Markethive meeting, the members participating in the Bitcoin Talk campaign will be rewarded. All you need to do is post in the forum, copy your post link, and paste it into the Markethive group created for this engagement.

  If you are considering upgrading to Entrepreneur One before the opportunity ends (and remember that you get a bonus of 1 whole ILP this year for the full 12 months), there’s still time. Just click on the round E1 icon in the tray at the top of the home page. There will also be a countdown badge of 30 days placed on the Markethive home page in full view, giving you ample notification of its cessation to members.

Come to our Sunday meetings at 10 am MST as we approach massive significant upgrades and the wallet launch. See and hear explanations, ask questions, and witness the ever-evolving technology and concepts of Markethive. The link to the meeting room is located in the Markethive Calendar.

P.S. When we close the ability for members to acquire an Entrepreneur One from the company, it will also signify closing access to purchasing anymore ILPS from the company. There will also be an exchange for members to buy and sell their ILPS. But I want to make something very clear.

"For those early members who purchased ILPs with Bank wires and Bitcoins, we will distribute all remaining ILPs left over to you. Think about that. We appreciate what you have done."

In 2020 LinkedIn revenue reported 8.05 billion. Markethive will eventually eclipse this but when Markethive reaches 1% of LinkedIn subscribers, with revenue reaching 85 million, the ILPs will receive 20% of that revenue shared with the 1000ILPs, making each ILP worth $17,000 that year. And ILPs pay this revenue year after year. Think about that.

okay like i know i shouldn’t have let Our Friend Problem Patron S draw me into conversation about masking etc beyond telling him that we have to abide by the current la county health order but i’m just.  so fucking tired of people who have decided that their personal mild inconvenience or discomfort matters more than the potential entirely preventable serious illness or death of the people around them.  i told comrade d the other night and new!boss today that i’m angry about it, but that’s not quite right -- i’ve so far surpassed anger that i just feel nothing, or at any rate i’m no longer aware of feeling anything until my hands are shaking and i’m shouting at the car radio or saying things to patrons that i should instead swallow down.  so.  idk.

ROTTMNT Headcanons: my class got canceled so y’all get this

The only thing that pisses Donnie off more than stupid people is smart people pretending to be dumb

He’s gotten into actual screaming matches with Leo over this (Leo was only arguing for shits and giggles)

And yeah sure he knows it’s a manipulation tactic and it’s necessary during some missions 

But if he has to hear Leo ask another stupid question he already knows the answer to he’s going to lose his mind

I said in this post that Leo cries like once a week which has led me to other crying headcanons 

Mikey is the loudest crier in the family 

He wails, he hiccups, he screams, he does that gross thing that little kids do where they suck the snot back in

He’s never quite when he’s crying and it’s honestly heartbreaking 

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Donnie is a very quiet and peaceful crier 

He barely makes any noise, his breathing barely changes, and he doesn’t even look like he’s acknowledging the tears 

Leo is the ugliest crier

He’s got snot running down his face, he makes that little hiccup noise that kids make, and his eyes and face always end up puffy 

And when I say puffy I don’t mean barely noticeable I’m talking it looks like he just lost a fight (am I projecting… may-haps) 

This is another reason why he hides from his siblings when he’s crying 

Raph always sobs always

He can’t just let a few tears go and then be done with it oh no

The second the floodgates open there is no going back

April always denies that she’s crying 

And she tries to fight off the tears 

If she feels like she’s about to cry she’ll leave the room to compose herself and then come back

And when she does start crying she still tries to fight it

She cleans the tears, she does that little hiccup thing that kids do when they try to talk while crying, she tries to fan her face in an attempt to calm down

Crying is never peaceful for April and it never will be

So for some reason I’ve seen the whole “he asked for no pickles” meme a lot and it’s made me think: which kid would send their food back if there was an issue 

April: never in a million years

she has worked in too many restaurants to ever think about sending food back

She could order a steak they would give her a salad and she would eat the damn salad 

Raph: absolutely not

He’s too nice to send food back

And he’s heard one too many horror stories from April about what it’s like to be a waitress 

Leo: maybe 

If it’s close to what he ordered then he won’t send it back

But if he ordered a steak and they gave him a salad he would politely correct them

And when the waiter would apologize he’s immediately calm them down and be like “no it’s probably my bad I definitely mumbled when I ordered (no he didn’t) don’t even worry about it”

Donnie: yes 

He wouldn’t want to make a big scene if anything he’d ask one of his siblings to tell the waiter (probably Leo) 

But he wouldn’t eat the food if they got to order wrong 

Even if the mistake was something as simple as pickles 

Mikey: Absolutely 

You could use the wrong salad dressing and this man would send it back immediately 

He wouldn’t cause a scene about it…

But if the waiter was being condescending… then that’s a different story 

My friend was talking about her relationship and suddenly I was hit with relationship headcanons 

April: would only enter serious relationships 

She’s never experienced a fling and never wants to

“What’s the point of starting something if it isn’t gonna last” is a point she constantly brings up

Raph: I can’t imagine him in any kind of relationship 

But I do think he’s absolutely obsessed with the idea of romantic love

He reads/watches love stories he’s just never felt any sort of romantic attraction 

Leo: he’s never been in a serious relationship ever

He dates a lot he’s been a part of more flings than years he’s been alive 

But he looks at April's relationships and knows he can never have that

Because he never allows himself to be vulnerable 

The second a relationship gets too serious he backpedals so fucking fast (am I projecting maybe)

Donnie: I can’t imagine him dating either 

I don’t know what his sexuality would be but all I know is the idea of a relationship disgusts him 

He has his family and his friends and that’s good enough for him

Mikey: he wants to date but can’t  

His siblings are so crazy overprotective and they scare off any potential love interest 

Leo keeps saying “if I had to wait until I was 16 to date then you have to wait until you’re 80” (yes this is something my big brother told me)

For @emeraldcas​’s 1k follower celebration, I decided to do something different and wrote this silly little ficlet from Sam’s POV. I do not consider myself a writer, but I had a lot of fun playing around with a new creative outlet. Hope you enjoy!

Prompt: misunderstandings 1.4k words Read on ao3

“I think Dean is mad at me.”

Sam glances up from reading the newspaper and looks across the table at Cas, staring solemnly into his bowl of corn flakes. Normally, Sam would tell Cas that Dean is always mad at someone or something, not to worry, he’ll get over it. But Cas seems genuinely upset, which is a little out of character.

“Why do you think he’s mad at you?”

Cas takes in a deep breath and pushes the soggy cereal around with his spoon.

“I sort of fell asleep.”

Sam’s eyes go wide, and he practically chokes on his egg white omelet. Cas gives him a concerned look, or maybe it’s embarrassment? Sam can’t quite place it, but he’s pretty sure his own expressions are all over the damn spectrum.

“Sam?”

“Uh, yeah I’m… I’m fine,” Sam manages to stammer out, and physically speaking, he’s not lying. But internally, he’s caught somewhere between being ecstatic and mortified. Because even though he’s thrilled that his apparent 12-year stretch of walking on eggshells around the two clueless idiots in love is finally over, he’s not exactly mentally prepared to talk through the intimate details of his brother and best friend’s relationship.

But now Cas is just sort of staring at him, looking a little lost and confused, and Sam is not quite sure what else to do but forge ahead.

Sam clears his throat and tries to compose himself.

“So uh, you, um, you fell asleep during…” he trails off, looking to Cas for clarification, hoping on some level he’s misreading this entire situation.

Cas nods. Sam briefly wishes he was back in the Pit.

“Um, okay. What were you, uh… Why did you, uh…” Sam winces, not really wanting to press any further. 

He takes a deep breath and attempts a slight redirect.

“Why would he be mad at you for that?”

“I don’t know.” Cas is back to poking at his cereal. “I assume it’s because he wanted me to enjoy it as much as he does.”

And yeah, Sam is definitely not ready to have this conversation. But apparently the floodgates have opened, and Cas is careening full speed ahead.

“I mean, we’ve been talking about it for quite some time. Dean has more or less been telling me for years how much he wants me to see it. But you know how it’s been, Sam. With everything that happened with Jack and then Mary, Chuck coming back and my deal with the Empty. We just never could get the timing right.

“And I think Dean built this whole moment up in his head of what it would be like. He’s a planner, as you’re well aware. And I suppose he was under the assumption that I was excited about it as well, and I didn’t want to shatter the illusion for him, but when we finally got started… I don’t know… it was just… Sam, it was so boring. It was impossible to follow along. It was the same thing over and over again and I just… I fell asleep. And yes, eventually I woke up, and I told Dean that I was sorry and that we could start over, but at that point he had already finished, and he told me to just forget about it.

“So, all that’s to say, I’m pretty sure he’s mad at me,” Cas concludes, and it takes Sam a whole two minutes to lift his jaw up off the floor.

“Okay. Um… That was… a lot,” Sam finally manages, getting his bearings back, but not exactly sure where he wants to go from here.

“I’m sorry to burden you with all this,” Cas says into his bowl, and Sam feels a swell of empathy.  

“Hey, listen,” Sam nudges Cas’s arm. “This is all going to blow over. You two have had fights way bigger than this, right?”

Cas snorts. That goes without saying.

“Dean really cares about you” Sam continues. “He’ll get over it. You two just need to kiss and make up.”

Cas looks up then and gives Sam a slightly bewildered look. Sam gives him a small smile before pushing himself up from the table.

“Trust me,” Sam gives Cas a quick wink. “It’s all going to work out.”

---

A couple hours later, Sam is alone in his room when there’s a weak knock at the door.

“Yeah?” He glances over and Dean’s standing in the doorway, swaying gently, white as a ghost.

“Whoa, hey,” Sam crosses the room and steadies Dean, guiding him down into the empty chair by the door. 

“Jeez, man, you okay?”

“So, uh… Cas kissed me.” Dean is staring blankly ahead, as if not quite believing the words coming out of his mouth.

And that’s what sets Sam into a full-body eye roll.

“Is this how it’s going to be now?” Sam groans and flops down on the edge of the bed. “You go twelve years completely denying any feelings you have for each other, and now you two are, what? Making up for lost time by telling me every time you get a little handsy? Listen, Dean. I’m happy for you guys. I really am. But I don’t really want to hear about it.”

Dean’s head suddenly snaps up to look at Sam. And that’s not quite the look Sam was expecting from him.

“Uh, Sammy?”

“Yeah?”

“What the hell are you talking about, man?”

“Listen, I’m not going to repeat it to anyone so don’t worry. So Cas fell asleep during sex, big deal. Worse things have happened to people. Just forgive him.”

Dean is now up and pacing the room.

“And who exactly was Cas having this sex with?” 

“Uh, with you?” Sam is now fully peeved. He could understand Dean being in denial before, but now? That ship has definitely sailed. 

“And Cas told you that?” 

“Yes, he told me you were mad at him for falling asleep.” Sam pauses. “What, is that not what happened?”

Dean crosses his arms and looks at Sam, a bemused look on his face.

“Oh, he fell asleep all right... Watching Lord of the Rings.”

Sam freezes.

“Wait… What?”

“Yeah, asshole fell asleep on me before they even made it to Rivendell.”

“Wait, but he said—” And suddenly, Sam’s earlier conversation comes rushing back to him in high definition.

“Oh. My. God?”

“Wait,” Dean is now grinning from ear to ear. “Did you think that we were…?”

“Um.” Sam feels his face turn 5 different shades of red. “Are you not?”

“Uh, no,” Dean snorts. “Well, not yet anyway. I mean, he did just kiss me so now who the hell knows.

“Wait, he kissed you?”

“Yeah, man. I just said that. He came into my room and said, ‘I think we need to kiss and make up’ and then he just planted one on me and... Sam?”

Sam is now rocking back and forth, face buried in his hands.

“I told him to do that,” Sam mumbles into his hands.

“You what?”

Sam looks up at Dean, absolutely mortified. 

“I told him to do that! I thought you guys were already together and I told him you two should kiss and make up! And then I winked at him! 

“Sam, oh my God!”

“I can’t believe he actually did it.”

“Uh, yeah. It’s Cas. Have you met the guy? He doesn’t exactly get nuance.”

And then, as if things couldn’t get any worse, Cas suddenly appears in the doorway. 

“Are you two okay?” Cas looks around the room, head tilted in confusion. “I heard a lot of yelling.”

“Oh, yeah, Cas. We’re fine,” Dean walks over and slips his hand into Cas’s, pulling him back towards the hall. “But what do you say we give Sam some space and take his advice from earlier, huh?”

Realization dawns on Cas’s face as he allows himself to be dragged out by Dean. 

“Oh. Yes. Thank you, Sam,” Cas calls over his shoulder. “That was very good advice, you know.   

Sam looks after them, mouth agape before shaking his head and falling back onto the bed, covering his face with his hands. Maybe sometime in the near future, he’ll be able to look back on this day and laugh. But right now he’s pretty sure this relationship will be the death of him after all.
