Hello, Quill! I have come back in a personal way to say hello and to try and catch up a bit.
How are you? I know you took a 3 hour test in Spanish. What was it for? Did you do well?
I hope that you know that I also enjoy Sotam, and that I believe there is a criminal lack of content for them. In fact, I might write a fanfic myself about them.
In other news, I have made a fun comparison between my gender and a platypus. It’s not a dragon, but I think it is funny.
Hope you are doing well, ⚙️
Hello to you, too! I promise I'm not ignoring your other asks, all my asks got but on the back burner while I did irl things. but I hope you're doing well, too!
I am. existing. I've just got multiple atypical things this week that all happened to be really close together, and I'll get through it but it's certainly going to be something. One of those things was that 3 hour Spanish test yesterday (it was apparently only supposed to be 2 hours max, but I had some tech issues and also am not fluent and also haven't taken a spanish class in over a year so. I was a little slow). It was a biliteracy test, to see if my language proficiency is enough to give me a bilingual seal on my diploma. No clue what the scoring is or how I did, so I guess we'll find out at some unspecified point in the future!
But you're right, there is a criminal lack of all forms of sotam--I may be biased because Tam is my favorite character, but he and Sophie together are such a fun dynamic! In any regard! I love writing them and hope to do more at some point (though I promise i haven't forgotten all the dialogue prompts!). If you write a fanfic about them, I'd love to read it! Though if you posted it and let me know that could mess up your anonymity...hmm. Well that comes first, but just know I would read it if I could if it existed :)
Congrats on the platypus gender! that's certainly an unusual descriptor, which of course means I adore it. love oddities and nonconformities and contradictions and otherwise nonsensical things like that, and playtpus compared gender I think fits in with all those. it's always interesting trying to explain gender and how it applies to you (if it does), so I'm glad you're got a fun one you like!
Wishing you a peaceful morning/night/whatever time it is for you :)

nanowrimo 2: 2023: it’s so over
i finished yesterday at 4 pm. just about 50,542 words. kind of a slay. debrief under the cut
this was my second year and i split it between one main project (new novel idea) and a few other fics, and 35k words went to the new project!!! so a pretty good chunk which i am pleased with
so let's see. this year vs last year. last year's piece was a novel i'd literally been working on for like 7 years with countless notes and outlines. this year i was violently pantsing it. i truly just had a setting, vague plot, and a vibe and went with it. this is SOOOO different from how i usually write and it was scary at first (i didn't have anyone's name!! i set the piece in the 1920s and did 0 minutes of research before starting!!!) but ultimately a lot of fun because i could go Fuck It and go ham on the keyboard. this doesn't really work in terms of pacing but that's fine because i have the start, now I can reverse engineer the plot and figure out what the hell is actually going on. which i will do. later
last year was harder because... it's hard doing anything for the very first time and I cared a lot about that story. because this one was so new i had no preconceived notions about how the characters should sound or how close the narrative should be. but honestly it turned out more consistently than i thought it would! whereas last year i would get stuck trying to find "the right words" this year i knew that the right words were the one on the page
i am a very average if not slow typer, about 37ish words a minute, which means 1667 words can be typed in roughly 45 minutes (uninterrupted) which! i did not do. instead i set timers for 20-25 minutes and wrote during that then took a break, which at that point is basically just the pomodoro method. which like. yeah! i was most successful when i had two sessions of writing a day
last year my whole body hurt after finishing but i was writing like 2200 words a day so like. yeah. this year towards the end i was really feeling it in my wrists and fingers. my fingies still hort ): maybe next year I'll find out how to do this with less pain
so many people are so intimidated by NaNoWriMo which like. yes. but i think everyone who doesn't write thinks 1667 words requires 6 hours straight which it. typically does not! though everyone is different and has a different method. also yes if i had to think more about what i was typing of course i'd be slower. that's not the point of nanowrimo though
this whole post is probably around 500 words which is basically already 1/3 the daily word count. if you're a writer or artist who has never done nanowrimo before i really recommend it! i think some of the critiques are valid but i find it reallyy helpful, and i definitely feel 50,000 words a better writer :) oh and also this year i went to in person events in my neighborhood and it was great, everyone was super sweet and supportive!!!!
so yeah i had a lot of fun and i'll def be back next year!!!!!!!!

LIST
HOW MANY LICKS: THE 25 DOPEST RAP SONGS TO F*** TO
Rock The Bells Staff
Contrary to what some hand-wringing "purists" might tell you, sex is a part of Hip-Hop. 
Shocking, right?
Of course, that shouldn't be breaking news: sex is a part of human experience. It's been a part of culture and art ever since civilization has created culture and art, so why would rap music and Hip-Hop culture be any different? From the minute Big Bank Hank of The Sugarhill Gang rapped about being able to "bust you out with my super sperm"—words that were actually written by Grandmaster Caz aka Casanova Fly (keyword: "Casanova")—sex has been a topic of many rap lyrics and videos. From Too $hort and 2 Live Crew, to LL COOL J and Lil Kim: there is a brilliant, provocative history of sex rap. The examples are endless—Kool G Rap's "Talk Like Sex"; The Notorious B.I.G.'s "F**kin' You Tonight"; there are even popular songs from artists like MC Lyte and Q-Tip that are highly erotic (Google the lyrics to Lyte's "Keep On Keepin' On" right now). 
For the purposes of this examination, it should be recognized that sexy rap songs can both offer the sensual and also wallow in the raunchy. The most seductive can feel as tantalizingly alluring as a quiet-storm classic; the raunchiest can make the most bashful bride buss it open. But it's allgood. Balance, people...
Here are the 25 Dopest Rap Songs to F*%! To; a playlist for when you wanna get right by gettin' a little wrong...
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#26
"STRAWBERRIES" - SMOOTH [BONUS SONG]
Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! Well, ACTUALLY this is more of an R&B song than a rap song—but Smooth is a rapper and she raps on this seductive classic. So there.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#25
"COCKTALES" - TOO $HORT
The Oakland legend is one of the foremost authorities on raunchy rap. Hell, he damn-near invented the genre. And this quasi-sequel to his classic "Freaky Tales" is one of his naughty best. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#24
"TALK SEX" - KOOL KEITH
When it comes to freaky raps, Kool Keith is like $hort Dog's weirdass cousin. Like his Bay Area contemporary, the oddball emcee out of the Bronx is one of the longest-running legends of raunch, and this track from 2018 is an example of his hilariously scatological approach to sex songs.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#23
"HOW DO U WANT IT" - 2PAC FEAT. K-CI & JO-JO
Pac always found a way to balance his socio-political rage, thuggishness and straight seduction. This monster hit from his double album ALL EYEZ ON ME is one of the most famous examples of the latter. And the X-rated, porn star-themed video is the stuff of legend.

"RICH SEX" - FUTURE
The Atlanta trap star managed to popularize a new lane within the rap game via his digitized crooning. And it was the perfect launching pad for a sexy sound that came to be embodied by this hit single. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#21
"BED" - NICKI MINAJ FEAT. ARIANA GRANDE
She's got a more varied body of work than some of her detractors want to recognize, but when Nicki goes sexy, she GOES SEXY. And while this ain't the raunchiest at all, this hit single with pop megastar Ariana Grande is one of her most sinfully seductive tracks. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#20
"BIG MOMMA THANG" - LIL KIM FEAT. JAY-Z, LIL CEASE
The opening track is everything that announced Kim as a superstar: bold, brazen and bangin.' Jay delivers one of his first high-profile guest spots as Kim makes it clear she's ready for her close-up.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#19
"ONE MINUTE MAN - MISSY ELLIOTT FEAT. LUDACRIS AND TRINA
Missy found yet another musical kindred spirit in Ludacris during the early aughts, and they capitalized on their connection regularly, including on the 2001 club hit “One Minute Man” from her third album, "Miss E… So Addictive." Trina's guest verse steals the show, as "da baddest bitch" gets raw and raunchy about what she needs in the bedroom.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#18
"GETTIN SOME ..." - SHAWNNA FEAT. TOO $HORT
The St. Louis rap star was a standout for Ludacris and the Disturbing Tha Peace label, and this monster single was a big reason why. It's one of the early 00s most inescapable tunes, and one of $hort's best guest spots. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#17
"85" - YOUNGBLOODZ FEAT. BIG BOI, JIM CROW
The hook. That groovy production from Atlanta veterans Parental Advisory. This ATL classic is a late-night creep anthem. Anybody who's ever hopped in the whip to ride down 85 for a rendezvous can relate; and the cameo from Fat Sax is one of his best ever.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#16
"IMAGINE THAT" - LL COOL J
This steamy Rockwilder-produced single could be considered an unofficial sequel to the classic "Doin' It." The track reunites LL with LeShaun, and their chemistry from that earlier duet is just as strong here.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#15
"SHAWTY FREAK A LIL SUMTHIN" - LIL JON & THE EASTSIDE BOYZ FEAT. JAZZE PHA
An early gem in Toomp’s discography, “Shawty Freak a Lil Sumthin’” is both an Atlanta and southern classic. Toomp co-produced the track with Jon, which was featured on Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz’s 1997 offering, GET CRUNK, WHO U WIT: DA ALBUM.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#14
"SEX FACES" - SCARFACE, TOO $HORT, TELA, AND DEVIN THE DUDE
Another one of his most popular tracks, Scarface takes the ordinary boy-meets-girl tale and spins it into an engaging tale on this very explicit classic. With a noteworthy assist from Devin The Dude, Tela and the $hort Dog himself.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#13
"LATE NITE TIP" - THREE SIX MAFIA
One of the best moments from Gangsta Boo and from Lord Infamous. Over a flip of Lisa Fischer's quiet storm classic "How Can I Ease the Pain," Three Six delivers a song that's somehow both seductive and sinister.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#12
"LOVE IN YA MOUTH" - KILO ALI FEAT. BIG BOI
The forefather of Atlanta rap was never shy about freaky songs, and this ode to oral sex is one of the most classic tracks in his repertoire. Big Boi’s guest spot serves as the perfect accent to the nasty perfection here.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#11
"MIND SEX" - DEAD PREZ
M-1 and stic.man aren’t always just raging against the machine. What set the politically minded duo apart from an act like Public Enemy is that they weren’t averse to showing a more sensual side, as epitomized in this ode to gettin’ it in with someone with whom you actually share a mental and emotional connection.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#10
"BIG OLE FREAK" - MEGAN THEE STALLION
The Texas rap superstar was still on the rise when she dropped this raunchy rap insta-classic. Meg made it clear early on that she could be playful, freaky as all hell and a take-no-shit emcee—all at the same time.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#9
"SLOB ON MY KNOB" - THREE SIX MAFIA
Juicy J wrote this little ditty back when he was still a teen in high school, and it has all the adolescent horn dogism that one might expect from a young dude. It's endured as a foulmouthed classic as only Three Six can deliver.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#8
"LOLLIPOP" - LIL WAYNE FEAT. STATIC MAJOR
It became so ubiquitous that it's hard to remember just how unique it was when it dropped. The ode to oral love became one of the era's biggest smashes and cemented Wayne's omnipresence. The song that seemed to own 2008. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#7
"PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH" - AKINYELE
Ah yes, a catchy little ditty from the freakiest rhymer Queens ever produced. Akinyele was never known for subtlety, and this semi-hit from 1996 was his crowning achievement as a single. The song is about — well, y’know — and the hook became a fixture in strip clubs and on dance floors throughout the late 1990s.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#6
"ME SO HORNY" - 2 LIVE CREW
If there is a "The Message" for sex rap, it's gotta be the X-rated classic from 2 Live Crew that got them banned in the U.S.A. Luke and his boys really go there and it shocked the world. It also opened the door for virtually everybody from Akinyele to Lil Kim. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#5
"MY NECK, MY BACK" - KHIA
We've used the word "inescapable" a lot on this list, but DAMN—where were YOU when you first heard this foul-mouthed little classic from an upstart out of Florida. After years of rap songs with men telling women how to go down, Khia repped for the ladies with this instructional guide. Get it right, sir. Get it RIGHT. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#4
"W.A.P." - CARDI B. AND MEGAN THEE STALLION
Two of the biggest stars in contemporary music joined forces for a song that paid homage to both Frank Ski and DJ Uncle Al, the video became the talk of pop culture, and the ladies' provocative performance at the 63rd Grammys led to a record number of complaints. Mission accomplished. 
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#3
"DOIN' IT" - LL COOL J FEAT. LESHAUN
It's a raunch rap classic; a sexual tour-de-force from a guy who made this sorta thing his raizon d'etre. The seductive imagery in the lyrics gets more and more explicit, as Uncle L goes bar-for-bar-for-bar with LeShaun over an exquisite sample of Grace Jones' "My Jamaican Guy."
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#2
"WHAT'S IT GONNA BE? - BUSTA RHYMES FEAT. JANET JACKSON
One of Busta’s biggest singles came when he linked with Janet Jackson for “What’s It Gonna Be!?” The chaotic drums on the track are smoothed out with Janet’s signature vocals on the hook. The sexy, futuristic video, directed by Busta and Hype Williams in his prime, is one of the most expensive ever made, and one of the most memorable of the decade.
0 seconds of 0 seconds
#1
"HOW MANY LICKS" - LIL KIM FEAT. SISQO
The Queen Bee is hip-hop's most legendary sex symbol for a reason. On this skittering single, she rattles off all of the lovers she's left in her wake (Tony the Italian, a brother named "King Kong" for very specific reasons, etc.) with the self-proclaimed "Dragon" delivering a soulfully sleazy hook. Nobody does it nastier.

so i watched the School for Good and Evil
ya’ll should know that i’ve never once touched the books, i am going into this blind and just wanna see how the movie does, as a prolific movie watcher and just that
right off the bat, i see we got JESPER FROM SHADOW AND BONE I LOVE THIS DUDE;
so they’re brothers, vv cool, oh is the Red one the evil one? yep i was right
it’s weird bc they’re brothers played by the same guy yet he just has great chemistry with himself
also, the mood just flipped from 0 to a 100 real quick, what just happened
i feel like they should’ve shown us them being brotherly and having arguments and maybe see Rafal slowly get angrier at his side always losing, bc really there was no way to see it coming. i could’ve done with a quick montage of them running the school and him growing angrier
“i prefer chaos” me too but could we get more reasons as to this whole thing other than just ‘evil’ ?
oh damn, the bad one died, i thought it would’ve been the opposite way
(but he aint really dead right? i mean)
so both girls are just hated on by the town, i can see them taking revenge together, lets all choose evil hm?
Aggie and Sophie Forever? *cough* gay
love that they just dont give a shit about what the peoples say; like insults thrown they just fly past them
Sophie just Rapunzeled this creep with a frying pan, im loving her, if i could i would choose violence too babe
“I seriously doubt there are any decent people in Gavaldon.” me too babe
so Sophie wants to get out and doesnt wanna settle for an ordinary life, why not just move in with Aggie and live out your happy lives together?
i wonder if we’ll see what happened to Leonora
so everyone ends up in the water when they get to their school? that’s a way to arrive
WOW i love the werewolf guard
“God I hate move-in day.” why do i vibe with this canine dude so much
i love that there’s a tower between the two schools, wonder what happens there
oh so Hort is Captain Hook’s kid. huh.
Tedros has got nothing on Eugene Fitzherbert
Tedros is King Arthurs kid? hm. better luck next time.
OH HE LOST HIS ARM I LOVE IT
THERE’S SOME ACTUAL DISMEMBERMENT HERE
oh hey its older Rhain, i love the actor’s work on Blackish
i mean hey look on the brightside, you got your own room to yourself
oh those bitches locked you up come on guys
if i were you i would’ve switched clothes, scaling a balcony in a dress cant be easy
whats with the creepy Cupid
WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT YOUR STUDENTS WITH ARROWS IF THEY WERE ON THE LEDGE
SOPHIE TURNING THE KNIFE ON HER WAS SO FUN
IS THAT OLIVIA RODRIGO’S BRUTAL YES
so if you can’t get a prince then you’re destined to end up as an anthropomorphic kitchen object or an animal?
what the actual fuck.
please tell me this entire school structure gets redone in the end
Hort has the makings of a good henchmen once Sophie gets more of a handle on her boss side
Gregor is a guy i can vibe with
idk who that random guy was with Sophie kissing him but he just made me laugh
Sophie growing into her evil side is showing and im liking it
Tedros and Aggie have a fun dynamic, hopefully he doesnt disappointment
again, i’d love it if both girls go for Evil
they talked about how Good and Evil are not really balanced, haven’t been for 200 years, so it’d be interesting if both of them go for Evil (even thou im pretty sure thats not where its gonna go)
imagine hearing your son got killed in school, damn, bye Gregor
how is this side of the school truly good if this is what you do to kids that fail?
OH MY FUCK ITS THE MONSTROUS NIGHTMARE FROM HTTYD I LOVE IT
not Rafal coming in and telling everyone Sophie’s a badass
ugh, Lesso had a thing with Rafal? i was counting on her and Dovey having a secret thing
oh fuck, that’s so sad, oh she let this little girl be free, holy shit that’s epic and sad and just damn, i loved it
whats with the big bird, what’s his problem now??
i like that Dovey is very aware of how fucked up the other princesses are about being ‘good’ and recognizes that Agatha actually is good, paralleling how Sophie is actually evil
the Nevers are some sadistic little freaks huh? i get it
Sophie’s in her villain era and im not sorry about it
Sophie said villains can be hot too
i miss Gregor
why do i kinda ship them? Tedros and Sophie? like they’re not exactly in it for like the deep stuff, you can tell it was more of an appearance based relationship with Sophie having him think she’s truly Good, etc. and considering how he’s been so far tells you what kinda prince he is so really they’re kinda perfect for each other.
ya’ll really wanna risk death outside the gates for each other? i mean Sophie, he’s pretty and Tedros, you talked to her like twice, one time she shot correctly so i mean, how well do you know her that you wanna be together?
Anemone was demoted to beautification? so legit EVERYONE here knows how badly the Good School has fallen, hot damn
OH Lesso was Leonora, fun
YO SOPHIE FLIPPING THE SCHOOLS WAS GENIUS I LOVE THAT
while i dont vibe with the whole thing that this immortal who knows how old man seeks out his true love in Sophie, who im pretty sure is liks 16 or 17 or smth, i love how he corrupted good
BC IT MAKES SENSE
HAVING THE GOOD SIDE BE ABOUT GIRLS PRACTICING THEIR SMILES, REWARDING THEM FOR THEIR REVENGE IN THE END, STUDENTS WHO FAIL THREE TIMES GET BOOTED, GOOD BECAME JUST AS BAD IT’S SO SUBTLE AND IT WORKS
ok but i kinda love that the girls parallel the brothers from the beginning

If there is a "The Message" for sex rap, it's gotta be the X-rated classic from 2 Live Crew that got them banned in the U.S.A. Luke and his boys really go there and it shocked the world. It also opened the door for virtually everybody from Akinyele to Lil Kim.

"MY NECK, MY BACK" - KHIA
We've used the word "inescapable" a lot on this list, but DAMN—where were YOU when you first heard this foul-mouthed little classic from an upstart out of Florida. After years of rap songs with men telling women how to go down, Khia repped for the ladies with this instructional guide. Get it right, sir. Get it RIGHT.

"W.A.P." - CARDI B. AND MEGAN THEE STALLION
Two of the biggest stars in contemporary music joined forces for a song that paid homage to both Frank Ski and DJ Uncle Al, the video became the talk of pop culture, and the ladies' provocative performance at the 63rd Grammys led to a record number of complaints. Mission accomplished.

"DOIN' IT" - LL COOL J FEAT. LESHAUN
It's a raunch rap classic; a sexual tour-de-force from a guy who made this sorta thing his raizon d'etre. The seductive imagery in the lyrics gets more and more explicit, as Uncle L goes bar-for-bar-for-bar with LeShaun over an exquisite sample of Grace Jones' "My Jamaican Guy."

"WHAT'S IT GONNA BE? - BUSTA RHYMES FEAT. JANET JACKSON
One of Busta’s biggest singles came when he linked with Janet Jackson for “What’s It Gonna Be!?” The chaotic drums on the track are smoothed out with Janet’s signature vocals on the hook. The sexy, futuristic video, directed by Busta and Hype Williams in his prime, is one of the most expensive ever made, and one of the most memorable of the decade.

"HOW MANY LICKS" - LIL KIM FEAT. SISQO
The Queen Bee is hip-hop's most legendary sex symbol for a reason. On this skittering single, she rattles off all of the lovers she's left in her wake (Tony the Italian, a brother named "King Kong" for very specific reasons, etc.) with the self-proclaimed "Dragon" delivering a soulfully sleazy hook. Nobody does it nastier.

The RHS visit Monday went very well. The 25 guests said they loved the garden and M. brought out the wine at the end of the visit. One of the visitors was able to tell me the name of this stunning lavender that we have growing, Lavandula dentata 'Rosea', evidently a naturally occurring phenomenon. I will try to propagate a lot more of them.

One of my sage plants started blooming; I can’t for the life of me find the name of it though. I think it is a California or Mexican Salvia.

Sternbergia lutea started blooming this week. That seems to have happened very suddenly. I had to question whether they are Crocus or Sternbergia.
Saturday, Mme invited SJ and me to join her to the Roure Arboretum up in the hills. We drove through a few cute little villages on the way and stopped for a quick coffee and croissant. It is a smallish arboretum and the two employees we met are very enthusiastic. There is also art installed throughout.

Sunday I met up with Mandy and Callum to do a practice run for a charity 10K I’ll be running in October around Cap d’Antibes. It was a glorious day.

The Dawn of the Witch TV Anime Starts Casting Its Magic on April 7
Editor's note: 2/25/22: The original article for this announcement was published on February 18. However, Crunchyroll News unpublished the article due to an error in the provided embargo date. The updated article follows.
  Additional reporting by Daryl Harding
  A press release for the upcoming The Dawn of the Witch anime announced today the series will begin its broadcast on April 7 and released a brand new key visual to coincide with the announcement as well as more cast members for the upcoming series from Tezuka Productions.
      1st PV:
youtube
    \????キービジュアル公開????/ 物語の鍵を握るキャラクターが勢ぞろいのキービジュアルを公開???? さらにTVアニメ『#魔法使い黎明期』の放送開始日時が決定✨ TBSにて4月7日(木)深夜1時58分から、BS11にて4月10日(日)深夜0時から放送開始???? ▼公式HPはコチラhttps://t.co/RDVwp15PJX pic.twitter.com/HlnpdwAeX7
— 『魔法使い黎明期』TVアニメ公式 (@reimeiki_pr) February 25, 2022
      Additional cast members were also announced:
  Yumiri Hanamori (Nadeshiko Kagamihara in Laid-Back Camp) as The Witch of Muddy Darkness:
- An unidentified witch who appears in a scene that Seville, who has lost his memory, can only slightly recall. She has a somewhat otherworldly atmosphere and knows about Seville's past.
  Comments by Yumiri Hanamori
  Q1. What are your impressions of this anime?
 "Albus has grown up, Thirteen is no longer there, and Mercenary is still the same... It's a nostalgic world where things change and the things that don't change are mixed together. I'm sure those who loved Grimoire of Zero will be pleased.
  Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role?
"I never thought that the day would come when I could play Zero (The Witch of Muddy Darkness) again. I'm happy, really happy. Please look forward to seeing what happens to Zero and Mercenary after they finish their big journey!"
        Masaaki Yano (Jyaka in I'm Standing on a Million Lives) as Mercenary
- A "beast fallen" mercenary in the service of the witch who rules the village where the special training takes place. He has the features of a huge, white, feline beast, and gives off a strong sense of intimidation to anyone who confronts him.
  Comments by Masaaki Yano
  Q1. What's your impressions of this anime?
"I was full of excitement, like I want to go! I want to be one! Magic and beastmen are real!!! There were so many things I loved that I couldn't keep up with my emotions. I'm excited to see how the story develops and how the characters bond with each other. Personally, I love beastmen, so this is great!"
  Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role?
"It's fluffy! That was my first honest impression (laughs). But he has a lot of experience in his words, actions, and behavior. I hope I can pick up on that and express it. I will do my best to play the role of a mercenary in my own to be of help to the work and to make everyone who sees it enjoy."
      Masaaki Mizunaka (Keisuke Baji in Tokyo Revengers) as Minister:
  - A minister who works at the church in the village where the special training takes place. He has lost his eyesight, so he covers both eyes tightly with a belt. Perhaps because of his wariness of witches, he often speaks in a rather harsh manner, and has a somewhat tense atmosphere.
  Comments by Masaaki Mizunaka:
  Q1. What's your impressions of this anime?
 "With magic as the keyword, I found myself getting more and more into the story as I watched each of the characters take action while having their own conflicts. The interactions between Seville, Loux-sensei, Hort, and Kudo are exciting to watch, and it make me watch over them. I'm looking forward to the day when I can see them move and perform magic in animation."
  Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role?
"Minister is a calm and intelligent person. I find it very attractive that he speaks clearly and plainly to others, and that he has an unfathomable and mysterious aura. I am very honored to be able to play such a character, Minister. I will do my best to bring out the best of his charm and make 'The Dawn of the Witch' more exciting together with everyone. We would appreciate your support!"
        The previously announced cast is as follows:
  Shuichiro Umeda (Izumi in Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie) as Seville;
Miho Okasaki (Rimuru Tempest in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) as Loux Krystas
Sayumi Suzuhiro (Lurie Abendroth in The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest) as Hort
Taku Yashiro (Azuma Tachibana in Salaryman's Club) as Kudo
  Main staff:
  Director/Series composition: Satoshi Kuwabara (Girlfriend, Girlfriend)
Script writer: Kakeru Kobashiri, Mayumi Morita
Character design: Rena Iwasaki
Art setting: Minoru Nishida
Color design: Yumi Yutani
Editing: Wataru Uchida (Conquest)
Sound Director: Satoshi Motoyama
Sound Production: Bit Groove Promotion
Animation Production: Tezuka Productions
  Crunchyroll announced at Anime NYC that the series will stream for users in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS. Crunchyroll describes the series as below:
  I can’t remember. Who am I? What am I? Seville is a student at a magic academy who has no memories of anything from before he joined the school. Not understanding why he’s there, the time he spends at the academy feels hollow and empty. And since he doesn't know how to work hard, his grades are always the lowest in his year. Then, one day, the school headmaster, Albus, orders Seville to participate in a dangerous special training. "I want you to spread the use of magic in an area where they hold witch hunts." It has only been a few years since the war between the church and the witches came to an end—the world has not yet fully accepted witches and their magic. This is the dawn of the age of the witch. This is the story of how a young man, a boy who is no one special, and his companions, who all hold wounds in their hearts, set out and end up finding themselves.

My opinion on ships— they’re somewhat mainstream (and also not) so probably no one’s gonna care but it was fun to make lol
Tagatha
- cute
- feels the littlest bit forced every now and then because they never built a strong relationship before somehow acquiring that exact strong relationship, but anyway
- still cute
- 7/10
Hestadil
- since it’s already pre-established that the coven is tight, their relationship makes sense?
- goth gfs ily
- the idea that they’re soft around eachother but “ew haha princes are so lovey dovey” and mean toward others, plus the banter and dynamic ahh great
- the moment with the upside down sea thing absolutely got me
- 9/10
Hophie
- personally I enjoyed reading about them
- it did however drag on in some :/ ways sometimes
- 8/10
Willden
- seemed forced as well, except this was much more obvious
- they were cute tho
- 5/10
Reatrix
- I like the dynamic of bea being a bit more strong-willed and reena the calmer one that can sorta deal with her
- plus they’re besties sooo
- 6/10
Keian
- the dynamic *mouah* 👌
- lost potential all I’m saying
- 8/10
Sophie x Rhian
- yes.? Surprisingly?
- I would’ve totally been down to see them rule camelot together, a nevermore that it may be
- 6/10
Hicola
- had good potential for bickering but the book shoved it in our faces that it wouldnt last so,
- 3/10 also poor nic, damn hort
Nicphie
- never saw the appeal
- but also kinda do?
- 4/10
Agaster
- never thought of them as anything more than friends, but I like the idea of it
- goth gfs 2.0 but with more feeling in it lol
- 6/10
Tedot
- I love the idea of this, the idea that tedros stood up for dot and they could potentially harbor feelings
- AND pull her out of the self-depricating hole she’s been in because of her father/“friends”/stupid world view
- cute cute cute
- 5/10
Tristos/tedara
- sort of the same reasoning as tedot actually
- would’ve been cute to see
- I just want some more yara, man
- 6/10
Yiko
- I was a huge fan of this until well, kiko being oblivious for the ENTIRE series coupled with the fact that yara did not like girls
- 0/10, just not possible
Jaric
- conceptually, love it
- but in the actual books it’s put to the extremes so I can’t ship it, it’s just bad
- 0/10 nah
Lovey
- no
- why
- isn’t lesso like 40 and dovey 60 pr smth
- 0/10
Hiko
- (hort x kiko)
- a bit random but I started developing a fic/comic while back that they were friends and ngl I kunda really like it
- though just platonically, no romance
- 7/10
Killicent
- I also randomly came up with this one on a whim,,
- but it means kiko gets more friends and she gets over tristan/yara earlier on (thank god) AND we can say kiko has a thing for redheads, p l e a se
- bunch of cute airheads
- they get to empathize with each other during their transition to morgrif in book threeee
- cottagecore / mermaid aesthetic
- 6/10, I’m invested

qfg reaction: 7/10 not as bad as i thought it would be but not ... particularly good either
characters: first off, ‘jasper’ or whatever the fuck his name is, is a punk ass bitch. i’ve only known him for a few hours but if anything happened to him i would be extremely pleased.  Lady of The Lake kissed him??? sounds fake as shit but mkay. 
as for rhian,,,,, yeah okay rhian was a good twist villain, i thought he was hella bland as a support character. he and tedros played off each other well. (and dammit soman stop making them siblings to avoid shipping material) 
i loved Nicola. That scene where she told off sophie made me happy and i usually like sophie but yes i was rooting for her. RIP chaddick and lancelot you were good conceptually. Forgot everyone else. 
except hort. i fucking hated hort in this one. who would want a hort? 
Also, the tlea ending for Sophie was so satisfying. i feel like soman was trying to dismantle that bc he can’t just have one character arc that makes sense. or maybe he thought she was boring bc she was happy being on her own and he can’t stand the thought of one person not being paired up. or bc sophie is a self insert. or maybe-
lots of developed arcs got tossed away to create more drama. am not a fan. 0/10 do better. 
relationships: i didn’t like tedros/agatha that much and this book didn’t convince me very much. the scene after tedros and sophie ‘break up’  in tlea pushed me over the edge but yeah. not very much in this one. 
the letter sophie sends to agatha where she calls herself ‘silly old me’ is exactly the content i wanted. love is stored in agatha realizing the importance of platonic relationships. their reunion was cute, if not for hort grumbling darkly about hating agatha for hugging her SISTER even though i thought they established a friendship last time. 
i was getting behind the idea of them as sisters until they smiled knowingly at each other during that weak hester/anadil bonfire scene. like. wtf was that? why knowingly? because they were girls in love too, but actually not???? whomst?? 
tbh some of the hicola scenes were cute but i still don’t like hort. give me back comic relief hort. 
ALSO: if i see anyone shipping dot and kei i will combust on the spot i know abt the rafal/dot stuff and i’m just gonna stay in my tiny corner of the fandom, why you guys gotta be like... that. (keian is ok but it has to be done right. that being said please send me your fic recs)
plot: got weird sometimes, too slow paced and too fast at times. kinda confusing but i’ve never super smart and analytical anyways so maybe it’s just me. personally the first one is my favorite because of all the twists but they just got kind of tiring to me in this one. 
soman seemed eager to hop from mystery to political drama to romantic drama to magical fantasy to old fairy tale centric quests and it really lost me eventually. 
i didn’t get the lion eagle snake story but i don’t think many people did anyways. all in all, it was fun at times, but i’ll never take it as seriously as the school years.

Short put sales are now 93.23% winners with a profit factor of 4.67!!! My morning missive and other thoughts on the markets for Wedn Morning
New Post has been published on https://www.rickjshandicappingpicks.com/short-put-sales-are-now-93-23-winners-with-a-profit-factor-of-4-67-my-morning-missive-and-other-thoughts-on-the-markets-for-wedn-morning/
Short put sales are now 93.23% winners with a profit factor of 4.67!!! My morning missive and other thoughts on the markets for Wedn Morning
Markets are gapping up this morning with the exception of IWM which is hovering around Break-Even QQQ is leading the way to the upside up almost 1%
Vix.x -4.52% crude +1% and TLT -1/3%
This is a positive pre-market bias
The big news today is the transition takes place with Trump gone and Biden in
For a country that prides itself on the peaceful transition of power 40,000+ troops in DC and the city locked uptight is not a good sign
If I had to guess, there will be no major violence but a few peace full demonstrations scattered across the country. Let’s see how close I get
It appears the markets are looking at it this way also
So, I do not think there is a political risk today in the markets. What I do think is the Biden administration policies are going to set the tone for the markets in the first 100 days.
Watch closely what shifts and reversals there are as this will affect many areas of the market.
Just the shutting down of the keystone pipeline will have oil prices on the move to the upside. There are many more examples like this. If you are awake you can take advantage of these
The heading back into the Paris Climate accord is going to take a big toll on the economy.
It’s one thing to have a large national debt when GDP is growing with new jobs being created and another when the GDP is in decline.
America cannot afford a reversal in the GDP gains of the last 4 years. It will likely lead to some very bad economic conditions in the US if the drain on the GDP is as large as I think it will be
The U.S. was well-positioned after 4 years as one of the world’s biggest oil exporters. This alone would be a safety valve to the growing national debt. Take that away and there are no safety valves.
If the Biden administration goes after the fossil fuel industry America is in big trouble economically.
But all this is what if:)   All one can do is watch and react with your investment strategy
One stock I am watching to short is Twitter
I would be looking to short at a 50% retracement if we get it
If you are aggressive you could trade at the retracement back to the 10 day MA
My guess is by the end of the year the stock will break the 200 day MA convincingly. The stock is overvalued as it is. But with the decisions, it made this election season its name brand among half of America has gone to 0.
Considering there are many other alternative sites if you are a social media poster, I do not see twitter a good investment
This is probably the best long term trade I can see right now in the markets. But the fall has been swift and a sell on a rebound would be a conservative way to approach the trade
There are other opportunities like this. But this one is the most obvious
Facebook is another although it’s not as obvious as Twitter at least from a logical standpoint.
But it just touched the 200 day MA a few days ago and is bouncing off it now. This is another stock to watch to short for a longer-term hold
Let me add one thing as to the capital violence we saw on the 6th. Violence is never the answer. Violence begets more violence.
The entire foundation of society is peaceful protests if you disagree with something. Or get out and vote. This idea that violence is going to change anything is plain wrong. All it does is make things much worse.
From an investing standpoint, widespread violence causes havoc on the markets. Not only from the violence itself but the reaction to the violence, as we will soon see.
Looking over my short put and call sales this morning, all look fine. Not much to manage right now. I am scouring for more income trades as those right now are solid income producers while we are doing our other trading.
Mean reversion right now is not in play as the markets are not oversold.
We are at a place today where we have a number of longer-term income trades, no mean reversion trades, and a handful of short put and short call trades,
Tomorrow is short put sale day:)  I will be scanning for candidates after the close today. These have been as solid as you will find in a  trading method.
We are up to 251 trades with 234 winners and 17 losers.
That is a 93.23% win rate and a profit factor of 4.67.
These are only the short put trades made on Thursday for the 2-day hold.
I will be around most of this morning if anyone has any questions.
This is my morning comments this morning to subscribers of RickJ’s Sports Plays. I added my trades as a value-added
addition to my sports handicapping service, as I have found many serious sports bettors also trade the markets.
I have been doing this now for almost a year now with my morning remarks, along with sending out most of my trades I make via slack.
I will have more on my trading techniques later but they fall into a few categories: 1. Income trades via discounted CEFs 2. Mean reversion trades 3. Income trades via short puts and short calls 4. swing trades
If you wish to join us for the next 30 days I have made it easy for you:

    When first time look at the narcissus, you must get confused between it and garlic bolt, which really share some same characteristics as similar height, similar leaves and similar root. But after some research, you may find some differences between them.
    China have cultivated narcissus in the tang dynasty for more than 1300 years. It is loved by many people and is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Wild narcissus are distributed in the southeast coastal areas of China. They are most famous in Chongming district of Shanghai and Zhangzhou of Fujian. Hundreds of years ago, narcissus were also produced in Suzhou, Jiading and other places. Its aliases are Chinese narcissus, Ling Bo fairy and so on. In addition to the common white narcissus, there is a yellow species called trumpet narcissus. Narcissus have a long history of cultivation in Europe. Since the 1830s, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and other countries on the narcissus breeding and variety improvement has done a lot of work, the current cultivated varieties have reached 26,000, there are new varieties born every year. The cultivation of narcissus in China began in the late 19th century.

    The differences are also intuitive. Narcissuses have small, white flowers and yellow flower core, the fragrance of them are faint scent of quietly elegant. Their root is shaped like an onion but is white. The leaves of them are flat. Garlic is a clove and is used as an accessory in food. Narcissuses are always grown in the water with blooming while garlic are always cultivated in the soil, which cannot see the flower but with garlic flavor, the leaves of them are cylinder.     Narcissuses can also be made as medicine.
