i dont have many additional headcanons for this lot, but i did write a short story with them :) enjoy
Brook only wears the absolute grooviest of clothing at all times.
Brook only wears the absolute grooviest of clothing at all times.
Brook only wears the absolute grooviest of clothing at all times.
That’s just gonna have to be there 👆 tumblr likes to glitch out my posts.
Dont give chopper caffeine. He’ll either have a heart attack or operate on 5x speed, its a gamble every time.
robin and franky love watching home improvement shows, house hunters, how its made, myth busters, and other technical shows together.
When Luffy shows robin memes on his phone, she takes out her reading glasses and holds the phone like a mom does. Ya know that squint. You know.
Jinbei used to be a trucker and had a convoy with s bunch of his truckin’ buddies. They had matching leather jackets with “the sun truckers” embroidered on the back
Franky has a wig closet. It is vast. If you went in there you'd think you were in Narnia or something
Chopper is BEYOND CONVINCED that Sabo is a vampire.
One day, sabo volunteered as an assistant in a medical class chopper was taking. He was acting as chopper’s patient as he was learning the patient procedures of a checkup.
It was all going fine, chopper got all the patient identification out of the way and next was to acquire blood pressure, breath count, and heart rate. But the stethoscope and pressure monitor wasn’t working, and it make it seem like Sabo,,, didnt have a pumping heart,, or blood,,, or really breathed at all(he doesnt take very visible breaths).
Chopper was stricken with fear at this and assumed the absolute worse as he looked in horror at Sabo’s naturally pale complexion and long canine teeth. Chopper simply jotted down the average count of each recording instead of getting new equipment, and tried not to think about it, but
“huh, all of those numbers are usually lower than that. Maybe all that Special Concoction™ i drink is finally catching up to my heart rate.”
“how much have you.. drunk?”
“like for today? Or since I woke up.”
Chopper is fucking horrified. Sabo woke up to being a vampire and drinks blood as a special concoction. He cannot believe this.
”Never mind, I don't need to know, its all normal, you're normal.”
“Wow… that's the first time a medical practitioner has called me normal. My brothers are gonna get a real kick outta this.”
CHOPPER IS FUCKING HORRIFIED. HE HAS BRETHEREN??? Chopper just keeps his head down and finishes up the check up practice as Sabo remarks he has another class in the blood bank, which was lemon in the paper cut for chopper.
For a month or so after that day, Chopper didn’t see Sabo at all, and he forgot about his fear for a little while. However one night as chopper was hanging with Luffy and a few others in the straw hat friend group, there was a knock at the door. Chopper happily said “I’ll get it~” as the rest of the group continued in conversation.
Chopper skips over to the door and when he opens it, he sees the figure of Sabo standing in front of him. Tall and opposing, smiling a big toothy grin with bright blue eyes shining from the overhead lighting. He’s wearing a long trench coat with the collar popped and an ascot was wrapped around his neck.
What chopper was seeing before him.
Was the vampire.
He let out a scream right out of a horror film and promptly fainted.
A minute or two later, he awoke laying on the couch, feet elevated and vest unbuttoned, to his friends looking at him from the foot of the couch.
He goes to stand up, but a strong gloved hand stops his movement and guides him back down
“Don't get up too quickly, little man.”
Chopper looked next to him and saw The Vampire. What was he doing in his house?!?!?
“Are you alright, bud? You opened the door for me, screamed in my face, and then passed out.”
“I’m fine, thank you,” Chopper said with the highest voice-crack to word ratio in his entire life.
“Right. Well again, dont get up too quickly, if you need water or anything let your friends know. I just came here to pick up Luffy cuz some family stuff came up. Have a good night!”
“…you too, and thanks for taking care of me…”
“No prob!”
“One last question?” Inquired chopper.
“What's up?”
“Did someone invite you in?”
the end
PS: Sabo's "special concoction" consists of Red Bull and Espresso. He hasn't slept in 72 hours. This will have lasting effects on his health.
thats all for now! thanks for reading~

Just a heads up, you don't have to have the powers work with each other, inherently. Not to say you're wrong to do so, just that if you find it limiting in power creation and expression, it's something you can do without. I made a sample Cluster Trigger if that helps show case how powers don't need to be intertwined:
I made a cluster for an example a few months ago:
Let’s make a rough example. Our cluster consists of Dillon(Primary), Cammy, and Ozzie. His mindset is delayed, confusion, and a sudden rush of damage. Dillons power allows him to accumulate damage over time, especially near fatal damage like a shotgun blast to the chest/immolation/devolving etc. Unlike Aegis who is built different, Dillon is more like a puppet of his power, his body held and moving by his will even as he suffers from blood loss and worse. Once a certain limit hits or a significant blow is beyond fatal (multiple shotgun blasts to the head), all of his wounds vanish and he gets a boost of strength and durability that could have him walk off a cannonball to the face… at the cost of feeling the rush of pain from his previous injuries slowly but rapidly assaulting his senses. Her mindset is detachment, horror, and guilt. Cammy’s power allows her to shuck off the “skin” of her damaged self whenever an attack lands. Shoot her in the chest and she will collapse, bursting out of the bloody skin with a small boost of enhanced speed and strength (but not durability). She can somewhat choose when to shuck off the skin when injured, but tying to the guilt nature, it’s a fragile thing that can sometimes go off from something as simple as a solid punch to her temple. And with each skin shucked, she loses a bit of her ability to be creative, even as she gains more and more boosts of speed and strength (caps out on 4-5x her normal strength and she’s left as an automaton until her power slowly recedes). Ozzie wanted Dillon dead. Dillon was an idiot, sometimes a bully, and worst of all thought to be his friend. He could have maybe handled all of that, but then his crush - Cammy - and Dillon started hanging out. They never officially started dating, but even the friendly hug and joke between them burned like fire, hampered by the fact that he was completely unable to talk to girls at all. The video was his idea, because he knew her love of YouTube and Dillon was an idiot who would go along with anything. When Dillon landed with a hard thud and didn’t get up for long seconds, he was so elated that he muttered, “Good riddance” without even thinking about it. Too late was he to realize that Cammy heard him -maybe some, maybe all - and Dillon was getting back up. His whole life was crashing beneath his eyes. His mindset is manipulation, uncontrolled elation, and backlash Ozzie has the power to invoke rapid damage accumulation on anyone within line of sight. Focusing on one person can allow him to build up from scratches, to gouges, to near disembowelment over the course of a prolonged minute. Focusing on multiple people limits him to more superficial damage, though it bypasses costumes and non-power related defensive armor. The damage he does is wild and uncontrolled, seemingly random in what it targets. Notably the power cannot kill people, even if it rips out their jugular, requiring him to kill them by non power means or have someone else do it for him. If he doesn’t and he doesn’t maintain his gaze on a target long enough, the wounds will transfer onto him, keeping him alive much like his target until the power wears off (half a minute) or he finds a new target to send all that damage towards
Decided to add on the other powers they would have, just for fun. Cammy:
(Primary) Damage Scene Post/Pre-cognition. By focusing on an area of around 100 feet or so, Cammy's power allows her to see future and past scenes of damage/danger to the environment, highlighted and exaggerated by her power. She can roll between minutes, hours, and even an entire day if she wanted to deal with a prolonged Thinker Migraine. She cannot see people in these visions, merely the highlighted damage/bloody residue battle/danger may have caused, as well as the alterations made as she reacts and adjusts her plans as a result.
(Secondary) Skin Toss. See Above.
(Secondary) Snare Gadgeteer Tinker. Builds small, disposable or limited capacity technology revolving around snares/wires/lines etc etc. Standard loadout may include but not be limited to: Seeker Bolo Launchers, Bramble Net Gun, and the Slither Sling (with various enhancements, accessories, and targeting equipment). Has an instinctive understand in the use of rope/wire/constraints and setting up basic traps.
Dillon:
(Primary) Unstoppable Body. See Above.
(Secondary) Negative Attention Sense. The gut feeling that one is being watched and stalked, ramped up by 10x, his body giving him a psychic sense of being the focus of someone's attention like background noise. When that attention turns negative, it thrums through his body, alerting him to its presence and vague direction of the watcher's location. If the watcher is outright hostile, it significantly narrows down their location to the point that he might as well be looking back in your direction. Not so effective in negative crowds.
(Secondary) Rope Tinker. Focuses nearly entirely on a single item that he repurposes and enhances with whatever he can, known as the Life-Line. A multi-use tool that is packed with a virtual intelligence matrix, code programs to analyze the environment and determine routes/locations of safety when used. Can extend a hundred feet, swipe away slow-moving projectiles, and carry him to safety if he's incapacitated.
Ozzie:
(Primary) Filament Structure Tinker. Engineers large scale emplacements based around encasement and entrapment with hyper-dense filament. These structures can have one purpose or multiple, but the end goal is creating and ever-more complex - intermingling - web that can prove to be inescapable. Turrets that launch hundreds of barbed wires, landmines that entangle and constrict victims, and camouflaged nano-nets that slice through anything. Has an instinctive understanding of placement and architecture.
(Secondary) Path Tracker. By watching a person's movements for an extended period of time, he can create simulated copies in his mind of their projected short-term movements, growing accurate the longer they are in view. After a certain time, becomes precognitive, and he will have a superhuman understanding of them even as they leave his view. The copies will quickly fade the moment that he loses sight of them, rendering him reliant on that understanding, and vulnerable to any major unexpected changes in mindset/environment that he could not account for.
(Secondary) Damage Glancer. See Above.
You can note how each of the powers can tie into their respective mindsets, but also how they can be used to escape/entrap each other.
Cluster trigger sheet. Original pre-cluster powers are in the left column, the rows are for post-cluster power bleed. People who have read ward or know more about clusters please lmk if this makes sense.

I absolutely adore your Hollirey fic series. Bobo is such a complex character (Doc too, but Bobo is my fave) and you just GET HIM so well!! I was curious about your process writing their accents and slang. Did/does it just come naturally when you’re writing or do you have to go back and add in the accented versions of their dialogue? Thanks!
Thank you! I am actually writing another chapter in that series right now (of course I've been writing it for months because that's how life is at the moment...)
The answer to this is no, it never comes to me naturally and no I don't go back and add in the different version but I do sometimes have to go back and edit?
A few bullet points to explain:
This is fanfic so there is a pre-set when it comes to dialogue but the most basic rule when it comes to dialogue is that everyone should have their own unique "voice". You can achieve this through rambling (Dowdy), an absolutely unnecessary amount of long words strung together to make a sentence 5x longer than it needs to be but it's not rambling its just someone who doesn't know how to say simple sentences in a timely manner (Doc), punctuation (Jeremy), specific dialogue quirks (Wynonna and jokes/pop culture references) or dialogue tags/description (Bobo and his rumbling growling nonsense). Also specific to this fic, what they call Doc. Henry/Hank/Holliday/Doc/etc is different depending on the person. There are a lot of other ways to do it too. You can use everything at your disposal, grammar and italics and etc.
Specific to fanfic characters, you need to get out of the mindset that the original character you see on screen is some kind of untouchable god version and you must only follow exactly the sacred phrases spoken there. Most of the time if you're drawing from a TV or movie source that character doesn't even have just one writer and a lot of TV shows the dialogue is literally all over the place from episode to episode with just enough key consistencies to hold you through. It's more about the actor's delivery than the actual dialogue. The same works for fanfic, you take the character and you find a groove where it feels right for you. You develop that in a way that stays true to the core of the original character but is just enough your own invention that you can maintain it feeling "right" to you.
I do this by writing porn. I'm not advocating this route, but that's my character building set up. Any character study you want to do that's got a lot of internal voice and a kind of by the numbers physical action lets you figure out how you want to write the character which feeds into how the character is going to talk for you.
For instance, you may have noticed my deep and abiding hatred for how Doc fucking Holliday cannot just say a fucking sentence but has to go about it the longest and most ridiculous possible way. I also throw in a good variety of the Southern Hospitality because he is supposed to be from Georgia. And when I write him, if I don't feel the teeth-grating annoyance at how slowly he is arriving at the end of his sentence I'll go back and fix it. (I was raised by northern people living in the south so I talk faster than everyone around me but true northerners talk too fast. If Wynonna wasn't Canadian there's a solid chance she would have punched him just because its like that sometimes.)
When writing men in general, you have to go back and take out a lot of the...qualifiers and second guessing kind of statements in your dialogue. (Depending on the guy and situation.) So I had a line of dialogue in this scene I just wrote where Dolls says "I'm worried that she's lost objectivity." Which is fine. But he's an alpha male, always in charge, listen to me first kind of guy in a confrontational situation so he'd say, "She's lost objectivity." He doesn't care if you're offended by it because he's right. Wynonna might say it with more lead in like, "I am worried that she's...lost objectivity." And Waverly would probably add even more to that because she's used to not being heard, being talked over and she was the unwanted baby sister. So she's constantly defending herself from being proven wrong. "Hey, guys--I'm just worried that maybe, you know from how she's acting, that she's-- Lost objectivity?" Doc is manipulative to the core of his soul so he might say: "Well, it has come to my attention that she appears to have developed a certain fondness for our less than admirable allies and while I, personally, would never judge a book by its cover, I would be remiss if I did not bring it to your more judgmental attention." And Bobo's would 100% depend on the situation more than anyone because he is so complicated and everything he does is dramatic, over the top and purely for show (THE FIRE CIRCLE OF NOTICE MY ABS HENRY, for instance). He wouldn't have this conversation unless it was with someone he trusted and he was worried about this lack of objectivity but even then unless it was someone he absolutely 100% trusted, he wouldn't bring it up beyond like "Keep track of her, I don't trust her to keep up her side of the bargain."
Much like Doc I talk too much.
TL:DR version
Listen to your source material without watching it. You don't have to study it, just try focusing on only the dialogue.
Practice inner and outer dialogue with daydreaming until you feel comfortable writing something down.
Do not agonize about your dialogue, every time you write this character it will get easier and better.
Depending where you are in your writing career/what sort of writer you are, some of the choices about how to make the characters voice unique will just happen for you without conscious thought and some of them will need to be deliberate. Either is good and valid.
Do not fall into the trap of catch phrasing. You don't need to. I promise consistency, tone and delivery matter more than reusing the exact phrases.
Have fun with it. Its okay if sometimes its not perfect because fanfic is fun and writing originals, the first draft is about learning the story and that too should be fun.

immj2 02.11.20 lb
this fucking episode my dudes. i just went through it like...
business maharani is doing some more bitchification of bhaabi, ki dekho phir nikal gayi aapke peeche. even used the same lameass mandir excuse, the idiot, instead of coming up with something new.
hubs like riddhima is a major pain in the ass, but she's MY PAIN IN THE ASS, where isss sheeee, why isn't she back yet???????? is she ok????????????
ishani getting a call about someone in the hospital and......
bitch, it's her friend who's in the hospital. why the fuck would anyone call ISHANI of all people if riddhima was in the hospital????
lo aa gayi.
gujarat registration gaadi waale bhaiyya was a careful driver. unlike literally everyone else on tellywood. good for him.
concern!maxxxxxxxxxxx about her haalat.
asks about her bleeding hand and she's like i'll tell you if you tell me about how YOUR hand got hurt. noice.
again, rrahul's not putting on the vansh voice in this scene and it's 300% more watchable. for the love of god stop directing him in a way that impedes his performance!!!!!!! LET THE MAN MOVE HIS FACE AND TALK IN HIS NORMAL VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!
cliche dialogue about “shareer ke ghaav jaldi bhar jaate hain par dil ke ghaav..........”
this asshole is like yeah who would know that better than me???? BITCH WHAT IS THIS, THE TRAUMA OLYMPICS???
she's thinking ki yeah, i'm not gonna fall for your fakeass parwaah anymore. good. i like. she needed this stupidass illusion of her's broken longggggggggg back.
ohohohohoho ib waala mangalsutra breaking and slipping off trope idhar bhi hai.
“tooti hui cheezein kabhi kabhi dobara nahi judti.”
dialogue maarke chali gayi, lol.
but notice she's the one who caught it anyway. which makes me think she's gonna choose him/this relationship YET AGAIN. *deeeeeeeepest sigh in the world that sucks up all the oxygen in the atmosphere*
“jaise mera dil.”
OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH.
“lekin ab waqt aa gaya hai bohut se cheezon ko sahi karne ka.”
again, he looks menacing and all, but is probably just talking about making sure all the paperwork is up to date for upcoming end of year audits. he's a very rich accountant, remember???
ragini's medical reports have come.
lol being married to ishani is taking yearssssssss off angre's lifespan. roz naya tension, naya drama.
also, angre refers to vansh as "vansh bhai" when talking about him to ishani, but calls him "boss" when referring directly. interesting. veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy interesting. you guys need to sort out that relationship, my dudes. it's the only stable, healthy one in this whole damn show.
ishani is like you're his right hand, what the hell are you doing about riddhima spying on him and getting all up in his business???????? dang, this might be the first conversation they're having about their only common interest: vansh's well being.
also i notice ki shivaay ke saare shirts angre ko diye gaye hain. huh, the shirts must have a kanji eyed wearer clause in their contract.
“mujhe shakti dijiye ke main apne emotions se upar uthke sahi ke saath khadi rahoon.”
damn, first time i've had a lil respect for riddhima. i mean, i know ultimately it's all gonna go to shit, but she's trying.
lmao a dhaarmik aarti version of the title track is playing. a version for every situation!
“main ragini ko bacha ke rahoongi. yeh mera aapse, ragini se, aur apne aap se vaada hai.”
YESSSSSSSSSSS BITCH, SISTERS OVER MURDEROUS MISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG WHY WON'T Y'ALL JUST DRESS HIM LIKE THIS, LIKE ARNAV, WITH THE SHIRT AND SWEATER COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOO. PLS GODDDDDDDDDDDD STOP DRESSING HIM WITH THAT STUPID SCARF WAALA BLAZERRRRRRRRRRRRR I BEG OF YOUUUUUUUUUU
he's talking to some shadow (def a woman) about how they're his humraaz about the whole ragini issue and nothing is hidden from them and how everything is going as they planned and the story will end soon.
it might be siya but omg i hope to goddddddddddddd it's ishani. i really really reallly want it to be ishani and see the hot demon siblings do some scheming and planning together. the sibs that conspire together, stay together!!!!!!!!!
menacing growling about riddhima and how he needs shadow chick's help in "handling" her, so that she doesn’t leave the house.
“chaahe VR mansion uske liye jail bann jaaye, i don't care.” cool, real healthy. also copied from this week's naagin 5. i'm telling you, these two shows be copying their homework off each other.
vansh leaning real hard on how he trusting shadow chick. hmmmm. reallyyyy hope it's ishani. though can’t say i wouldn’t be delighted if siya also turns out to be just as fucking twisted as him.
ofc ms. snoopy here has come to snoop. SIS TUM THAK NAHI JAATI KYA ISS SAB SE. MUJHE TOH DEKHTE HI THAKAAN HO GAYI HAI AND I NEEDS ME SOME GLUCON D.
“ragini riddhima se jeete-jee milna toh door, usse dekh bhi na sake.”
uh a little too late for that my man, lol. your girls already had a catchup session this afternoon. they're going for brunch and manis next weekend!
oh ho, she knows that angre's gone out. so this is def someone else in the house. DAMN, I'M REALLY INVESTED IN THIS SHADOW NOW.
yaaar, kya haalat bana rakhi hai shivaay ke room ki. best room hota tha iss set ka, aur isko bas ek random space banaa rakha hai.
ASLKFJSLDKJFLSDKJFLDKSF
this fucker crazyyyyy. like fulllll on flipping cray cray!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow ok he's shaking from rage. more unhinged than i've ever seen him. which is really something. something scary as fuckkkkkkkk.
kudos to riddhima for just being like same old, same old, instead of being scared. i'm really liking i-give-no-fucks-riddhima.
DUDE. THIS FUCKER HAS COMPLETELY LOST IT.
also knife play copied from shivaay. this dude like a much much worse version of shivaay. never thought that would be possible, but never say never with ITV and the year 2020.
ok i don't like this angry version of him that's outta control, all shaking and growling and panting. not only is it really bad acting, it's hard to take seriously as menacing. ppl are always scarier when they're ice fucking cool with their anger.
blah blah blah some more growled warnings and riddhima and i are just here like............. “ok and????”
she's not even allowed to leave the room.
oooooh brave sis questioning him back and provokingggggggggg himmmmmmmmmm. got a death wish, this one, but i like her like this. i was sick of her just collapsing all over the place weeping. thaaaaaank god she found her longlost backbone.
“tum jaise haiwaan ki baat kabhi nahi maanungi.”
sarcastic slow clapping and slightly turned on by this show of dheentness.
“chalo aaj tumhari bahaaduri ko celebrate karte hain.”
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
“piyo, zeher nahi milaaya hai ismein.”
OK NOW THAT YOU SAID THAT I'M DEFINITELY THINKING THAT YOU HAVE.
omg ridhhimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you idiottttttt.
ok he's def put something in it. his face almost looking pitying as he takes the glass back.
“jaao. jahaan jaana hai jaao. nahi rokunga tumhe.”
ohhhhhhhhhh boy.

TELLL HIM SIS. TELL HIM TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY AND NEVER EVER COME WITHIN A 3 DISTRICT RADIUS OF YOU.
“phir se zidd. tumhara naam riddhima nahi, ziddhima hona chahiye tha.”
ok can't deny i lol'd at that.
OK NO BACK TO HATING HIM. PUNS WILL GET YOU NOWHERE WITH ME, YOU BLOODY PSYCHOPATH.
“abhi toh bas ek chota dose diya hai jiska asar sirf 10 ghante rehta hai.”
oh how sweet. such a considerate husband. Star Parivaar Pati of The Year you are. haan behen, aur rakho aise pati ke liye karwachauth.
“agar baat nahi maaani, toh agla dose double hoga.”
seriously though, where can i get one of these? all i want is to be put in a coma so that i don't have to be conscious anymore. esp with the USA election today............ give me a 5x dose, daddy.
YEAH RIGHT LIKE SHE'S EVER GONNA CONSUME ANYTHING YOU OFFER HER EVER AGAIN LOL
“tum chaahe kitni bhi koshish karlo vansh, main tumhe ragini ko nuksaan pohunchaane nahi dungi.”
determination toh behen ka top classssssssssssss hai. where do ppl get such mental will from? i face the slightest inconvenience and i need a 6 hour nap to cope.
LMAO VANSH YOU DUMBASS YOU LEFT HER WITH HER PHONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. YOU KNOW SHE'S A SPY AND HAS SOMEONE ON THE OUTSIDE. YOU WANTED HER NOT TO GET TO RAGINI BUT NOW SHE CAN JUST CALL WHOEVER SHE’S WORKING WITH TO GET RAGINI THE HELP. GOD, BEWAKOOFON KI TOLI HAI YEH SHOWWWWWWWW.
ab yaad aayi kabir ki. my god, he seems like such a mellow weirdo now compared to vansh, just into some casual costume-changing and quasi fratricide. almost a tolerable level of deranged compared to this other fucking madman.
sent a voice note to him.
SHE HEARD SOMEONE COMING AND FLUNG THE PHONE ACROSS THE ROOM INTO A PILE OF CLOTHES. OH HO WHYYYYYYYYYYYY, YOU COULD HAVE LITERALLY JUST HID IT BACK UNDER THE PILLOWS WHERE YOU FOUND IT!?!?!??!?!?!?
“hi riddhima! tumhe iss haal mein dekh kar, dil ko bohut sukoon mil raha hai.”
asldkfsjflkjdslfkjdl i honestly love her the most. she's so fucking petty and hilarious.
ishani is like thank god bhai has seen fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally seen your real face.
“sirf vansh ne hi nahi, inn sab mein maine bhi vansh ka asli chehra dekh liya hai.”
“kya matlab hai tumhara?!?!!”
ok, i'm thinking ishani is shadow girl. from day 1, she’s wanted riddhima to see vansh in a certain way; as someone dangerous, the way he projects himself. (as opposed to dadi and siya who want her to see his soft side.) this statement from riddhima makes her wary that did she get close to the actual truth. INTERESTING. VERYYYYYYYYY INTERESTINGGGGG.
she's now grumbling about how vansh treats her much better than she actually deserves. I REALLY WANT MORE INSIGHT INTO THIS BROTHER SISTER RELATIONSHIP THEY HAVE IT'S SO INTRIGUINGGGGGGGG
le, kapde chale gaye laundry. phone ke saath.
———————————————————————
precap: kabir listened to the voice note and now him and mummy are in panic about ragini disclosing the truth about 3 years ago. RE DEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. OFC THESE TWO WERE INVOLVED IN THAT KAAND TOO. LITERALLY EVERY ONE IN THIS SHOW IS A DERANGED MENACE TO SOCIETY.
kabir coming to meet riddhima.
but ofc.
ugh she turned back saying “K.........” and he's like there's literally no one in this house whose name starts with K.
*facepalms for allllll eternity till my godforsaken face itself falls off.*
i think i’ll go watch s2 of mirzapur now. i need something ~~~light and fluffffffffffy~~~ to take my mind off whatever the FUCK this was.

The Fiasco Finale of Future [1/2]
So in the penultimate episode of Steven Universe 2, the climax of both the season and series as a whole... is a group hug. As I expected, plenty were not too pleased with this turnout. Some felt it was anti-climatic, some felt it was resonating, and others tried to own the critics by digging deep into the scene like they always do sucking this show’s co- Coming from nearly a month later, I’m... split. One hand, I didn’t mind the climax. On the other hand, it was pathetic compared to plenty of other finales I’ve seen in media. It’s like this show as a whole, I enjoy it, but I also enjoy smacking it upside the head cuz it made some Karen-esque, All Lives Matter type stupid shit that I just cannot get behind. So you know what, Perry the Platypus, let’s mix it up. I wanna express the good and bad of this climactic end to the show and see where we can go from there. You ready?
What’s Good:
You truly wanna know what makes that final hug a great scene? A real showstopper? I have the truth, the best truth behind this, you won’t believe me but here goes. The climax worked because A Hug Is Nice. That’s it, there’s nothing else to it beyond a hug being nice. “But Monkey, you incel troll, there’s should’ve been more to that. The episode shouldn’t have taken that long to get to that point.” Well, in typical fashion, let me put it this way by talking about Spider-Man 2 (better than Spiderverse, don’t @ me). The whole movie is centered around Peter’s life getting shat on. He’s getting fired left and right, his people are abandoning him, he even loses his powers, he’s just at his utter lowest. But at his apartment, while contemplating, in comes his landlord’s daughter, Ursula, who offers him some chocolate cake and a glass of milk.
We can say the scene comes out of nowhere and that this is all that happens, feeling pointless, but I say this is an important scene because after everything that happens to him before, this one gesture from somebody out of nowhere to be honest was one of the nicest things he’s received in a while. It’s the seedling of a scene that keeps Parker going before Doc Ock comes to make him truly spring back into action. Above everything, it was nice. Like a hug.
I don’t need to be philosophically deep with SU2′s meta to tell you that a hug can be a worthwhile thing to get more than anything. It doesn’t resolve all the baggage Steven has in his mind, but a group hug from the people closest to you (and the Diamonds) can be a gesture so nice, it can numb you out, if only for a moment. Only other times where Steven got a hug was when he felt everything could be okay. With Lars, Peridot, and Connie after her “rejection”, and it’s after that ���rejection” where he slowly loses it in his attempts to shake off that harsh feeling of abandonment and that everything can be okay. It is something where he can turn to the others for help but the concern of their response makes him reasonably suffer in silence. That last part is a little dumb, but I’ll get to that later. He can’t really hug himself because it doesn’t work like that. The point being that Steven, at his lowest, just needed something nice to consider. And a hug from everyone who loves him (and the Diamonds) can be that piece of chocolate cake he needed to be at ease, again, if only for a moment.
Like let me tell ya, as a deliriously depressed man that constantly wishes for death, a hug shouldn’t be spat on. Whether it be from your friends or mommy, a good hug can, at the very least, keep you sane and going. It isn’t medication, let’s not get it twisted, but a healthy remedy nonetheless, especially if you’ve ever felt touch-starved like I have before. It’s an affectionate gesture that for what it’s worth, should never be taken for granted. And while Steven could’ve well gotten this big type hug at almost any time he desired, I can at least appreciate the show for saving that at the right time. Whew. But, while the moment itself is nice, it’s predictably almost everything around it that unfortunately puts the moment in a vacuum and me with a bad taste in my mouth.
What’s Bad:
Let’s get this out the way, because I’m such a literal bastard... *inhale*
Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis.
MUSHROOM! MUSHROOM!
Congrats on those with the corrupted!steven theories who no doubt had it hard on when this horned trunk ascended, hung its head high, and beat its meaty chest with blind rage, the crewniverse certainly had the balls to go with this design and a long discussion of utilizing Monster Steven’s full potential. And if you think I’m nasty about this, hoo boy, be glad that words are all you’re seeing right now because artists no doubt had a field day potentially ruining this design for you even more. I’m surprised Tumblr’s flagging system hasn’t taken down whole posts with this. HEHEHEHAAAAAAAA!
As you can probably tell, I’m not a fan of this Diamond Dinodildo’s design (say that 5x times fast). I mean Rebecca could be as horny as she pleased with this show, but this is next level, I tell you. But seriously, it honestly sucked that this is what they came up with when it served no purpose to Steven thematically other than him being a literal peen of a monster. Said this before, but what does becoming a corrupted looking amalgamation mean to him beyond “he’s a monster”? Corrupted gems weren’t the worst things in his world, they were products of a even worse thing. Turning into a diamond like figure would’ve said something about the cycle of abuse making you not feel like yourself, but a reflection of who you not only resent more than anyone, but were the indirect causes of your newfound issues. That would’ve took his struggle in the Diamonds Days arc to its next logical extreme, and brought most of Future’s episodes centered around Steven’s issues to a sensible turning point. Being a warped Diamond version of himself would’ve meant finally embracing inhumanity, and that would’ve conveyed the peak of Steven harshly feeling less like a human over the course of the season, especially when we had several episodes and new powers centering around him being inhuman. And a previous episode had him try to shatter a Pink version of White Diamond, two beings generally responsible for everything that’s happened to him. And it isn’t the design that made this a turn off.
What was Steven even gonna do as a monster? He does nothing to the town, he never even makes it pass the cliffside. He doesn’t even try to attack anybody, the only times he does is when he’s provoked by either the Cluster, the Diamonds, or any of the gems. Spinel raised more hell than Steven. So on the look back it’s insultingly sad they hyped up this big dick energy only to do... genuinely nothing. He already didn’t deserve turning into Pinky the Phallisaurus, but having him not even do anything as a monster left far more to be desired. Mob Psycho 100 did this nearly identical, but better. You can’t deny that it would’ve worked better with 22 minutes, actually give him something to do beyond screech and stomp like he’s Scrat from Ice Age. As much as I don’t like Change Your Mind, 45 minutes worked to its favor to do everything it did. Oh wait, this episode did make good use of time... with a fucking pity party.
They wasted my baby
This is. The WORST scene in the entire series and I’ll stand by that 100%. It’s one thing to show something offensive, but it’s another to have something be completely pointless. Yes, Connie talked some sense into them, but we didn’t need to waste time having White Diamond and the others bitch about something everyone who isn’t a toesucking simp should’ve figured out at that point. Not like it mattered, the Diamonds and Spinel never show up after this episode anyways, so good job making them count for something, I guess. This as well as minorly acknowledge the fact that the gems had a lot to do with Steven’s mental trauma because hey, we don’t have to hold these gems too accountable for child neglect. Speaking of which, where was Jasp- This plays well into my previous point, we aren’t shown what Steven was gonna do as a monster, so what else is the episode to do beyond holding him back in time to just make the characters go “All is lost” for one second before getting back up like this is Marvel’s Captain Driftwood?
Friendship is Magic had this type of moment in its penultimate finale but in that, more time was given to show the villains getting the upper hand, Twilight at her low point, her turnaround with her friends, and the lead in charge to defeat the villains. While some moments felt convenient and downright insulting, they made the most of their limit. The same can’t be said for this and it makes no sense. Speaking of things that make no sense:
Was this shapeshifting or corruption? Rushing or dragging? This personally bothers me because people are saying he shapeshifted even when they were also on board with him corrupting. But what was the point where monster Steven cums cries into the ocean turning it pink?
Now if Steven got himself corrupted, this would make sense since the three Diamonds are there with so fully turning him back to normal wouldn’t be an issue. Questions would arise about how corruption can happen to a human, then again this is Steven Universe, fans never really wanted you to ask questions. But if this was shapeshifting, then why have this permanent monster form? It would’ve made a little more sense of Steven changing his shape depending on his emotions, like what we’ve seen before. Additionally, Steven should have been capable of talking normally instead of roaring and growling like he switched brains with an actual animal. Just because he kinned Godzilla’s joystick doesn’t mean he was unable to speak to anybody, that is if he shapeshifted. Lastly, and this is more implicit than my previous points:
This season shouldn’t have tried tacking mental issues and trauma onto this dickslap of a climax. I’m on the side where we should’ve seen more from monster Steven, but what does this tell me for the topic of mental health? Nearly killing people on three separate occasions didn’t help, but having him transform into a near mindless beast is a backhanded way to convey post traumatic stress. Let me put it this way, if we didn’t get that episode where we learn Steven had held up trauma and stress from Doctor Priyanka, everything surrounding it afterward wouldn’t feel as fucked up as it did. Yes, understanding a root of a character’s problems is good, beneficial even, but having your character nearly, sporadically, commit MURDER THREE TIMES only to then have him become a wildin’ creature does nothing, if not disgust. It's disgusting when you talk about PTS one minute and have your main character be socially dangerous the next. You’d feel sorry for him, sure, but I gotta say nearly killing people is not something we should just hand wave. That is not a good or realistic depiction of depression and post traumatic stress; especially when you trying to discuss this with children. And don’t try to justify it by saying it was necessary for his downward spiral. Having to think and see death before my own eyes in real life, there should’ve been a better way to make Steven hit rock bottom without putting other’s lives on the line. It wasn’t compelling or resonating to see him become a witless creature after saying he could get away with anything, it felt jarringly hallow and teeth gritting sadistic to think this was acceptable. It took him turning into a literal creature to finally go to therapy or a throwaway line about therapy in this show’s case? Are you kidding me?
The hug is a nice moment on its own, but it took far too many kneecaps to get to this point and think it’s believably or justly earned. I can make fun of the monster design all I want, but what they put Steven through to get to this point is the most insulting writing I ever have to think about. Because you know what that hug told me, personally? It’s that you can commit near irrefutable atrocities, you can behave like a blithering rampaging beast all you wish, but that won’t matter. Because you’re valid and your people will love you. That is not only asinine, but it kinda pissed on what I went through growing up. Like, as idealistic as that felt, it didn’t add up because it made the mentally unstable come off as more unstable than they mostly are. You can disagree all you want with this, it won’t change the baffling fact that I came to this conclusion in the first place when I didn’t want to. “But the crew said in an interv-” NO, just nope. If the message the show gives is this polarizing for those that invested or were concerned with it, maybe the message wasn’t clear enough, who knows? I can believe Mr. Rogers never fucked this up when he made his show. I tried thinking of this differently, but I can’t excuse what they did and how they did it. Bojack Horseman never pulled this with its main lead and when it truly did, that was given more time to sort out; not an 11 minute epilogue in its final moments. The hug was nice, but this episode was trash.
Speaking of which, next time...
We Finally Look to the Future
Here’s Part 2, if you’re up.

Things about Leverage BitMEX’ Arthur doesn’t want you to know
Everyone who trades with leverage, be it on BitMEX, BitMAX or Deribit or which else bucket shop might be popping off right now, should be aware of how to use leverage correctly. Leverage is a tool to DE-RISK your trades actually, and indeed it can bring down the involved risk in your trades if you use it mindfully. Sadly the opposite is often the case. So let’s get through the basics of leverage trading and also debunk some myths on that way.

What’s Leverage?
To leverage a position means basically that you borrow funds to be able to increase the position size in contracts while using less from your capital/margin. Depending on how you use this tool it can decrease the risk by decreasing the used capital and set funds free for other trades. At the same time, it can increase your chances of getting liquidated.
Important to note: – High Leverage = Closer liquidation price – Low Leverage = Distant liquidation price
Leverage for De-risking means: – to free up capital for trades on several instruments, like hedges – to enable you to keep less of your capital on an exchange in Seychelles.
You can find out more about the Basics of BitMEX in our BitMEX Guide. Groups, that can guide you with quality signals can be found in our shortlist “The Best BitMEX Signals on Telegram“.
Myth: Leveraged Trading is tied to expensive fees!
This is bullshit. The fees by BitMEX are calculated by contract size and by order type. If you buy 1000 contracts with 1x for 0.2510 BTC or 1000 contracts with 100x for 0.0028 BTC there is no difference in the charged fees. If you market buy those 1000 contracts, you will pay 0.075% of $1000 in BTC (1 contract =~ 1 USD), no matter if you used 100x or 1x – the fee remains the same. If you place a limit order you will get paid 0.025% of these contracts worth $1000 – the used leverage does not add or subtract anything from the payable fees.
BitMEX Fee Structure
What Is Cross Margin Leverage
Cross-Margin is an advanced form of leverage and a riddle to the most. However, it is easy if you know how it is calculated, but still a tool only to be used by advanced traders.
The usual leverage 1x – 100x is isolated, this means only the used margin is at risk. If you use 0.1 BTC for a trade in an account with 1 BTC the maximum you can lose is 0.1 BTC. Cross-Margin is different as it is not isolated anymore, it uses your entire balance in your account. This means a liquidation equals a completely wiped account. You cannot use liquidation as stop-loss as this means total destruction. If Margin-Cross stop-loss is a must.
Cross-Margin uses leverage dynamically and is ultimately defined by the position size divided by the account balance. This results in your liquidation price. Cross shows the ROE as if 100x was used.
Using Leverage – The De-Risking Way
Use Case 1: Free Up Capital
This is a nice method of using leverage completely risk-free: If you want to place the above example position of 1000 contracts at a XBT price of ~4000 USD, you’d place the order with 1x Leverage for 0.2510 BTC. Let’s say you go long and the price moves up $50 and you feel safe to put your stop/loss to your entry. Now you can switch the leverage to 100x without any risk! You will have the same profits, but you risk now only 0.0028 BTC for this position and you can work with the rest of it again on other pairs. Or enjoy the extra safety (like if a stop doesn’t execute). You can now lose only 0.0028 in this isolated trade, no matter what happens.
Use Case 2: Create Un-Liquidatable Leveraged Positions with CROSS
Cross has the reputation to be the most dangerous leverage option on BitMEX as it is not an isolated trade anymore and uses your whole balance. This is true – it can burn down your complete account with one major power move. However, it can also offer you the chance of leveraged positions which cannot be liquidated. The key point here is the number of contracts. Simply use the BitMEX calculator to find out how big your position can be, without any or near to no risk of liquidation. This is especially interesting for short positions, as they have a clear bottom (can’t go below zero). Now see the screenshot:
Virtually Un-Liquidatable Position
As you can see the price of XBT would have to reach a price out of imagination to liquidate my short position. With a 5 Bitcoin sized account, I can take easily a 10000 contract sized short position without risking a liquidation. On Cross, the above position would initially deduct 0.2967 BTC from my total margin and once we can bullet proof the trade with stop/loss at entry, we can go 100x if we want, using the same amount of the account. Even if we cannot get liquidated with a position like the one above, setting up a stop-loss is advisable.
Use Case 3: Catch the Bottom with Leverage
OK, this is more of a theoretical use case, a mind game what would be possible. Let’s say we assume 3-4k is the bottom of Bitcoin in the bear phase and we want to ride a long-term position all the way up again. As this is a long position the theoretical option of getting liquidated is there plus we gotta keep in mind the funding rate, – hence this is still very risky. Actually, it doesn’t belong in this post, but I found the thought interesting in theory. We would place a position, let’s say we place an order for 1000 contracts at $3.5k with CROSS enabled and a 5 BTC wallet. Our liquidation price would be $189.5 – so without stop/loss, the complete capital is still at risk theoretically. But if one would definitely want to take that gamble, this would be the way to be. O,n top he could be laddering the 1000 contracts within the 3.5k to 3k range. Once the price starts to move up, he would raise the stop/loss accordingly and once it is at the entry, he could go 100x and could ride a 100x leveraged position all the way up to 100k
.
Can I open a 50x Trade here?
If you see someone asking such a question or bragging about a high leverage trade, you can call him out as a noob. Why? Because it doesn’t matter and he didn’t get the basic thing:
IT IS NOT ABOUT THE LEVERAGE, IT IS ABOUT THE CONTRACT SIZE IN RELATION TO YOUR PORTFOLIO SIZE.
A person who brags about a 50x or 100x position is whether a) is maintaining oversized super-risky positions how might wick-quidated in the blink of an eye. or b) uses this with a tight stop and fewer contracts according to his portfolio size, which would make him a useless tosser.
Think Leverage Different!
Leverage is not there to offer you a BitMEX Casino, it is there to limit your risked capital. A trader should really never become liquidated – I mean like never, liquidation rate: zero. You
a) always want to make use of trades with a proper risk/reward ratio and b) obviously use a stop/loss for that.
Once you get it doesn’t really matter if you use 5x or 100x as the outcome will be the same if you calculate your position size properly in relation to your total balance.
Screenshots in your Telegram chat groups/Twitter mean nothing!
If your Broseph in your Telegram chat group brags with screenshots like this:
Impressive ROE!
Stay unimpressed – as the reality pretty sure looks like this if you see the full picture:
Oups! The ROE power of CROSSMARGIN
ROE Screenshots mean NOTHING. The only information they contain is that someone owns a position which is not in the red.
Increasing the Leverage In-Trade – Does it increase the profits?
Hooray, finally you hopped into a positive position. Damn, now you are on the right side of the trade, you wanted to play safe and used fewer funds and low leverage. But hey – you can switch to 100x. Should increase your profits 100x as well, right?
Now – this something many novice traders tend to think or ask themselve. Switching the leverage button does not increase your profits, but decreases your risk a.k.a. your actual used margin on the position.

@black-dragonize GIRL OK SO like vulcans are touch telepaths right? this had already been established as canon before sarek ever appeared on st:tos
amanda & sarek spend the whole episode in their bedazzled robes basically engaging in vulcan pda the WHOLE TIME, like there is a gesture where one person holds up two fingers together (like half of the LLAP sign, just the first two fingers) & then the other person does the same and they touch their fingers together, and that is what vulcans do instead of (or in addition to) human kissing; and on a like SPACE DIPLOMATIC MISSION, bc sarek & amanda are SPOUSE COWORKERS/CO-AMBASSADORS, they’re just chilling smooching all over the enterprise while spock sulks & sarek grumbles
and then at the end amanda rolls up on spock & mccoy at a party, and mccoy basically is like, “so, you got any embarassing & hilarious childhood stories,” and amanda goes, “why, y'all want some? bc he had a like LIVING TEDDY BEAR pet & it was ADORABLE.” while spock gets his, “mother, PLEASE” face on & mccoy is ecstatic about it.
like really and truly, spock’s racial/species angst IS a Thing, and his family is WILD (he has an older half brother named sybok from sarek’s first vulcan wife or like fiancée?? idk. but sybok rejects “the teachings of surak” and ran off into the desert to be a laughing angry etc. vulcan, bc vulcans are actually ~3-5x more Emotionally Intense™ AND physically stronger than humans, so the logic thing was a way to try and maintain social ideals & stuff… which is why spock is SO rebellious by other vulcans’ standards, but within his family it’s really JUST a species thing)
but his parents were SUPER IN LOVE & even in the pon farr episode “amok time,” spock’s fiancée broke off THEIR engagement bc she loved someone else, but she wanted to save face & for the Drama of it all rigged a death match…
like the idea of loveless vulcan marriages (they’re PSYCHIC AND SUPER STRONG, it is NOT LOGICAL to put two unhappy ass ppl together like that), amanda & SAREK being in a loveless marriage, amanda “trapping” sarek with a baby that they had to go to INCREDIBLE LENGTHS to carry to term (irl if mom & a baby have diff. blood types it can kill them both, so expensive & difficult genetic & autoimmune treatments have to be done; vulcans, incl. spock, have copper based blood & humans have iron, so it IS canon that it was a v. medically involved pregnancy), WHEN HE HAS ANOTHER KID ALREADY
and sarek not loving spock when it’s more like “immigrant dad cannot grasp his americanized son’s cultural ways, seems distant just bc he does not come from a hugging people” (vulcans were sort of an alien stand in for “good asians” in the ‘60s, where romulans were fake communist asians & klingons were fake communist russians— Not Good if it were done NOW, but radical at the time)
like ALL OF THAT… makes ZERO SENSE.
but fandom LOVES that narrative.
and like the first few times you see it, it’s like, whoa, the person is clearly harboring some shit, but ok! we all have shit to work through & fanfiction’s a valid way to do that, go ahead & project. ykwim? like, “yo, my bad, this is SO OFF BASE I didn’t realize that I must’ve stumbled onto YOUR traumatic coping mechanism, that’s what makes sense.”
but then en masse you see like THOUSANDS of stories duplicating these same boring ass clichés down to SAREK’s fanfictional hypocrite ass telling SPOCK that he is forbidden to romance a human (in kirk fics this is played as “the little mermaid,” in uhura fics, she just catches hell 🤔🤔 wonder why…)
and you realize ppl just hate women in general & black women SPECIFICALLY.
star trek’s not perfect, there’s a lot of weird racial issues & star trek: enterprise was a weird neoconservative turd, but it’s one of those fandoms where something is legit good but mostly the ppl who like it are fucking awful & show ass a lot… like even with benedict cumberbatch as khan, a LOT of fans loved him (??? no), and most of the fans who got mad were mad on adaptational purity grounds, not on how unethical & gross SO MANY choices for star trek into darkness were. they don’t care about THAT, they just didn’t want a crappy wrath of khan reboot… and NOBODY wanted that, ofc, but it’s weird that they thought that was the point.
so it’s just… an odd fandom to navigate, bc when they’re good, it’s fun, it’s great… but then they go so FAR OUT OF THEIR WAY to be nonsensically & unnecessarily toxic that there’s no reasoning for it EXCEPT racism/sexism 99% of the time, and it’s surreal shit.

If You Love Your Spouse, You’d Make Them Financially Independent
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I spent about $360 dollars on a dozen long stem red roses and took my wife on a scenic helicopter ride over Napa Valley to a secret mountain villa. Just kidding. Instead, I got her some white roses for $20 because they smelled better, did some last minute grocery shopping and cleaned the kitchen at 6:45am, whoo hoo!
Depending on someone for money is a terrible feeling. Imagine being a grown adult still living at home with your parents. Every time you go out, you’ve got to ask them for a couple bucks to buy a loaf of bread or more likely, beer money to hang out with your buddies.
Now imagine marrying someone, giving up your job to raise a family, and being entirely dependent on your working spouse for all your spending needs. A common situation, but is it ideal?
It’s one thing to depend on someone for money as a kid. It’s another thing to be dependent on someone as an adult after getting a college education and marketable work skills.
For all this talk about the desire for financial independence, it’s odd that some couples aren’t willing to establish separate financial accounts to allow each other more freedom.
My Husband Is A Rich Controlling Miser
I recently received an e-mail from a reader who highlights the point about the importance of financial independence in a marriage. I asked her to elaborate her thoughts on the subject after her initial e-mail, and this is what she wanted me to share.
Sam,
It’s been a while since we last corresponded, but I wanted to drop in and say how much I agree with you regarding the importance of having separate financial accounts.
My husband and I are worth about $4 million, up from $900,000 in 2012. Last year, he made over $1 million from his business, but you would never know it.
We live in a house worth less than 40% of our annual gross income, while some people spend 3-5X their annual income on a house. We have a 10+ year old car and he prefers to bike everywhere.
I’ve been a stay at home mother for the past 10 years. I help out with our business where I can. But between picking up our son from school and shuttling him between activities, I admittedly don’t do a large amount of business work as I used to. It’s his baby.
But I’ve been with my husband since the business first started. For years, we hardly made any money and I was his support system. I did a lot of the grunt work in the beginning to help lift the business off the ground.
I was also a happy, independent woman who had a day job before our son was born. Having my own paycheck to spend as I wished was liberating.
Despite the rise in our wealth and our income, I felt trapped because we only have joint accounts with different spending habits. My husband is a miser who wants me to run all expenditures by him first. We’re talking about even a $25 toy for our son.
If I spent $1,000 more a month, it wouldn’t make a dent to our budget because we only spend about $4,000 a month and pull in over $100,000 a month. However, to him, spending $1,000 more a month would be a big “no no” given it would be a 25% increase. That’s right, spending more than 5% of our monthly income is way too much for him to handle.
He simply cannot let go of his excessively frugal ways, even if it was hurting our relationship. As you know, being a stay at home parent is hard work. I resent having to “ask for permission” before buying anything, even it’s for our family.
My husband spends more time on his business and on his hobbies than he does with me and his son. He’s always jockeying to promote his business by doing interviews and TV spots. It’s nauseating how full of himself he is.
Given our differences, I decided to get a divorce after 15 years of marriage. It was a tough call but I’m much happier to have my freedom back.
He bought another house close by while my son and I stay in our original home to reduce disruption. I think you called it “bird nesting.” I call it stupidity because it was an unnecessary $300,000 expense if we could have worked things out.
He can hoard his money as he pleases. And now I’m free to do as I please with half our assets.

Money Is A Big Reason For Divorce
If you haven’t figured it out by now, money is one of the top 10 reasons why couples divorce.
The other reasons include: infidelity, lack of communication, constant bickering, weight gain, unrealistic expectations, lack of intimacy, lack of equality, not being prepared for marriage, and abuse.
If you have one spouse making all the money, there will naturally be a lack of equality, no matter how much you believe there isn’t.
It’s like a couple owning a car. If one spouse only has the keys, that spouse determines their destination most of the time.
Think about the power dynamics in the workplace and how it is frowned upon for managers to date their subordinates. Think about the #MeToo Movement.
If you want to control your spouse, then feel free to make more money and throw up checkpoints before every dollar can be spent. The lack of equality between spouses is a bigger problem than society recognizes.
Ways To Make Your Spouse Financially Independent
Get Married. Marriage brings about stability for the less wealthy spouse. Assets accumulated after the marriage will be divided equally in a divorce. Alternatively, assets will be distributed based on the conditions of the prenup. A spouse will also receive their deceased spouse’s Social Security benefits.
Establish independent financial accounts. Independent financial accounts should be additions to a couple’s main joint accounts. The independent accounts should be seen as “pressure release valves” to give each spouse the freedom to spend as they choose.
Create a business and give ownership. A business is a separate legal entity that can have whatever ownership structure you want. One way to create more equality is to give a greater percentage of ownership to the spouse who earns less or doesn’t earn at all. Not only does this show good faith, but a higher ownership structure might also motivate the spouse to work hard at building the business.
Contribute extra to their retirement accounts. If one spouse has less in his or her retirement accounts, the other spouse can contribute more to create more balance. Given you can’t contribute to someone else’s IRA or 401(k), it’s best to help build your spouse’s after-tax investment accounts. You can, however, elect to contribute more to your child’s 529 plan.
Pay down their debt. Paying down one spouse’s credit card and/or student loan debt upon first entering a marriage is a very strong gesture. Even if there continues to be an income imbalance, the spouse whose debt was paid off will feel incredibly liberated and appreciative.
Set Your Partner Free
I’ve seen too many divorces where the wife ended up in financial turmoil because she had sacrificed her career for her husband and family. Then they broke up. Being out of the workforce for years makes finding work difficult.
By helping make your spouse independently wealthy, no matter what happens to your relationship, your spouse will always be fine. This is true love.
The key is to be selfless and think about the bigger picture. Don’t be that rich, miserly, ex-husband as one reader described above. Having millions of dollars but nobody to spend it with is sad.
Financial freedom is a wonderful gift to give. When I helped my wife negotiate a severance in 2015, I couldn’t have been prouder. I felt like I had been waiting for her for three years at Heaven’s gate.
Now, whenever I do something wrong, all I have to do is remind her how awesome it that she doesn’t have to commute downtown in rush hour traffic anymore. Then all is good again!
If you seek financial independence, then you must also give financial independence. Strive for equality every day.

If You Love Your Spouse, You’d Make Them Financially Independent
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I spent about $360 dollars on a dozen long stem red roses and took my wife on a scenic helicopter ride over Napa Valley to a secret mountain villa. Just kidding. Instead, I got her some white roses for $20 because they smelled better, did some last minute grocery shopping and cleaned the kitchen at 6:45am, whoo hoo!
Depending on someone for money is a terrible feeling. Imagine being a grown adult still living at home with your parents. Every time you go out, you’ve got to ask them for a couple bucks to buy a loaf of bread or more likely, beer money to hang out with your buddies.
Now imagine marrying someone, giving up your job to raise a family, and being entirely dependent on your working spouse for all your spending needs. A common situation, but is it ideal?
It’s one thing to depend on someone for money as a kid. It’s another thing to be dependent on someone as an adult after getting a college education and marketable work skills.
For all this talk about the desire for financial independence, it’s odd that some couples aren’t willing to establish separate financial accounts to allow each other more freedom.
My Husband Is A Rich Controlling Miser
I recently received an e-mail from a reader who highlights the point about the importance of financial independence in a marriage. I asked her to elaborate her thoughts on the subject after her initial e-mail, and this is what she wanted me to share.
Sam,
It’s been a while since we last corresponded, but I wanted to drop in and say how much I agree with you regarding the importance of having separate financial accounts.
My husband and I are worth about $4 million, up from $900,000 in 2012. Last year, he made over $1 million from his business, but you would never know it.
We live in a house worth less than 40% of our annual gross income, while some people spend 3-5X their annual income on a house. We have a 10+ year old car and he prefers to bike everywhere.
I’ve been a stay at home mother for the past 10 years. I help out with our business where I can. However, between picking up our son from school and shuttling him between activities, I admittedly don’t do a large amount of business work as I used to. It’s his baby.
I’ve been with my husband since the business first started. For years, we hardly made any money and I was his support system. I did a lot of the grunt work in the beginning to help lift the business off the ground.
I was also a happy, independent woman who had a day job before our son was born. Having my own paycheck to spend as I wished was liberating.
Despite the rise in our wealth and our income, I felt trapped because we only have joint accounts with different spending habits. My husband is a miser who wants me to run all expenditures by him first. We’re talking about even a $25 toy for our son.

The 13 Best SEO Posts of the Year
When I'm not hectic at WordStream, speaking about wonderful unicorns on social media, speaking at market events, or composing, I read. I wish to keep up to this day on whatever SEO, which suggests I dedicate hundreds of hours to reading every year.As another year comes to a close, I wish to share my leading picks for the best, must-read short articles of the year.While there
was (as always) a great deal of news in the SEO industry, my objective here isn't really to highlight news stories or "ways to" kinds of posts. My selections aren't simply based on social share numbers or see counts – & shy;-- I wanted to highlight posts that either offered initial research (we need more of it!) or strong opinions that offered really fascinating insights about SEO.These SEO posts
were the unicorns that stuck out in a sea of donkeys in 2016. Away we go!Surfacing Included Snippets From Around The
SEO And SEM Market, And Exactly What I Found out Along The Way Did you understand WordStream is the king of highlighted bits?
Crazy however real! That's what Gabe discovered when he examined several of the most influential search marketing blog sites and publications.WordStream got
featured snippets for keywords including [boost website traffic], [outgoing marketing], and [just how much does Google AdWords cost] In addition, Gabe looked into and shared his findings on featured bits that appeared on Google's blog sites
, along with other fantastic sites including Search Engine Roundtable, Browse Engine Watch, Online Search Engine Journal, and PPC Hero.Because featured snippets are so exceptionally powerful, they ended up being a brand-new fascination of mine in 2016. I committed an entire column to featured snippets on Moz in November( and Gabe was an exceptionally useful resource! ). My post includes a few of my own research about how engagement rates may affect which snippets Google selects.We Examined 1 Million Google Search Results Page. Here & rsquo; s What We Discovered SEO What elements associate with
very first page search engine rankings? To discover, Dean did a brilliant analysis of a million Google search results.Although many of the findings won't be incredibly unexpected to experienced SEOs (links, topically pertinent material, and a quick loading site matter, duh!), it's constantly crucial to constantly evaluate our presumptions, because search behavior and Google are constantly evolving.One interesting thing Dean discovered was a"really little relationship between title tag keyword optimization and ranking & hellip; which may reflect Google's relocation to Semantic Search."
RIP Google PageRank rating: A retrospective on how it messed up the web This year SEOs were forced to bid farewell to public PageRank-- the number in between 0-10 that Google appointed to pages based on their
value. And, as Sullivan put it:"Excellent riddance."Sullivan states the
checkered history of PageRank and how it caused the rise of link spam and dubious SEO tactics. It's an excellent read and includes an essential bit of guidance:"Don & rsquo; t fixate on ratings, either Google & rsquo; s ratings
, for the remaining few weeks they & rsquo; ll be around, or third-party scores. For some, they can be a helpful way to focus. For too lots of, they can end up being a fascination that pulls away from other types of SEO work that can be done."What’300+Content Marketing Campaigns Can Teach You About Earning Hyperlinks Libert analyzed project data from a sample of 345 campaigns that released in between 2013 and 2016 to discover out exactly what factors increase content & rsquo; s capability to earn links. They found her agency's greatest unicorns had 4 things in common: Highly psychological Broad appeal Contrast Pop culture-themed Emotion is substantial, whether it's in Pay Per Click or SEO. The very same feelings that make individuals share make individuals click.8 Old-fashioned SEO Practices That Are Not Efficient Many SEOs are living in the past, as Fishkin mentions in this edition
of White boards Friday. Are you guilty of focusing on keywords over clicks? If so, stop concentrating on the number of keywords you can pack into your title tag and begin attempting to increase how numerous clicks you get."I'm essentially trying
to create a message, like I would for an AdWords ad, that is
less concentrated on just having the raw keywords in there and more concentrated on drawing the click. This is a much more efficient method ..."You also don't have to produce separate pages for every keyword version. This is OLD SEO thinking that has to die!How 16 Business are Controling the World's Google Search engine result Are Google's
search results page varied? Perhaps not as diverse as they seem.ViperChill dives deep into how 16 big business are dominating the SERPs in some of the most popular markets.10 Illustrations of How Fresh Material May Influence Google Rankings(Upgraded)We understand it
is very important to produce appropriate content that motivates clicks, is memorable, and generates engagement. However
does freshness matter? As with many things SEO," it depends."Essentially, Shepard's post offers a good suggestion why it is necessary to keep your material upgraded:"Your objective should be to upgrade your site in a timely manner that advantages users, with a goal of increasing clicks, user engagement, and fresh links. These are the clearest signals you can pass to Google to show that
your site is fresh and deserving of high rankings."We do that the time here on WordStream. We want users who come to our pages to get the best, most accurate information, so you'll frequently
see under our headings the data we last upgraded each post.Are Links Still a Powerful Ranking Element? (New Study)Hyperlinks still matter for rankings ! Pet dog bites man? Well, not quite.Enge assembled a truly interesting(and data-backed )study that basically concluded that links matter, however building links alone might not be enough to assist bad content.What all of it means: You require UNICORNS (a.k.a., high-quality content ). No quantity of links will help donkey content(i.e., content nobody clicks on or engages with) rank.When and How to Pay attention to Google's Public Statements About SEO Google's employees are under a ton of pressure whenever they speak with people in the SEO market. Sometimes they misspeak; in some cases they do not inform you
everything(because they cannot!); often their words end up being misinterpreted; in some cases their word is blindly held up as gospel.So, with that in mind, Fishkin put out a Whiteboard Friday discussing this really topic. Because it can be hard to know which statements from Google you must rely on. Fishkin used us a few handy recommendations: Consider all the methods that the declaration could be real while the surface-level information is technically wrong.Give declarations some time to be modified or modified.I like data and I like experiments over opinions and
public statements.(YES!! All this!) The Future is More Content: Jeff Bezos, Robots and High Volume Publishing This is a must-read for anyone doing material technique. Rayson's post on BuzzSumo is my choice as THE leading post of 2016. Quality or amount? Yes! The future of content includes both.It doesn't matter if your content is long or short-- you should specify great content based upon your engagement rates(the top 1 to 3 percent of your material, or content with 3-5x or more higher than average engagement rates). Your heading dictates your material success/failure many of the time. Length isn't a discriminating characteristic
of high-engagement content.But amount plays a huge role. You need to audition lots of things and atomize unicorns into lots of unicorn babies(associated material ). If done right, you end up with both the quality and quantity you need.11 Battle-Tested Ways to Raise Your SEO Click-Through Rate [Infographic] Understanding that clicks and click-through rates matter a lot? OK good.That's why I signed up with forces with the amazing Brian Dean of Backlinko to develop an incredibly easy-to-follow infographic that gathers the 11 most reliable ways to enhance your natural CTR.The Wonderful Content that Gets Links and Shares-- New Research Material that supplies original research study and insights is one of five types – of posts that draw in great deals of links and shares. That's why we frequently aim to produce research-based posts utilizing the huge quantities of WordStream data we have gain access to to.In Rayson's view:"Frequently updated research study material ought to belong to any material technique. It develops your authority and can become cornerstone material that is referenced by your industry.
My one caution is that the research study needs to be extensive and serious to have credibility. That can take time to build. "Other popular types of posts, according to Rayson: reliable material that responds to popular concerns; strong opinion posts and political posts; material that leverages a trending subject but that also offers practical insights; authoritative news content on brand-new items or advancements.6 SEO Experiments That Will Blow Your Mind All set to get your mind blown? This post is a collection of all the insane SEO experiments we ran this year.One big style this year was the impact of engagement on organic search rankings.
So, for many years I entered search of responses to six SEO concerns: RankBrain and/or other maker learning components within Google's core algorithm are increasingly fulfilling pages with high user engagement. This is type of a big deal-- so pay attention to it in 2017! PERK: This Legendary Flowchart Will Assist You Choose Whether to
