having the satoru gojo as your roommate is quite the experience.

it was odd—

you had known satoru in college, always somehow getting stuck in the same overflow housing on campus. you had gotten to know each other well, being forced to live with the other off and on. after he had gotten his degree in drama—and you got your degree in a successful STEM major—he proposed moving in together. you needed a place off campus, and he needed someone to room with, because rent was too high for him to afford on his own as a budding actor.

things were fine for a while, daily routines consisted of seeing one another regularly. but then satoru had his first big gig. he disappeared for months, needed for a last minute replacement. he told you about the role; a younger version of a strong—no, the strongest—sorcerer. apparently, he got to play his part in a dramatic friendship breakup, which you figured perfectly suited the way satoru acted normally.

his fame quickly rose, with the series being released only a few months later. after that, satoru never really came around all that often; you saw him maybe twice a month, if you got lucky. but even after that, satoru stayed in the apartment. you didn’t mind, honestly, he kept up with his side of the rent plus some.

but the really odd part?

your social media feed.

every social wouldn’t shut up about him—“upcoming star, satoru gojo makes an impact in new tv series,” “he’s so hot, i’d let him do whatever he wanted,” “I NEED HIM,”

and yeah, maybe curiosity got the best of you when you searched up the fanfiction—but hey, people seemed like they would kill to be in your position. the creative minds of those online made you see your goofy, struggling artist of a roommate in a different light. the way they wrote about his chest, and how smooth and toned it is, or his sparkly blue eyes and how they could make clothes fall of with just a look. recently, satoru had shared in an interview his fingers are 6 inches, and boy did people go feral over that.

they focused on every part. his soft fingertips, and how lengthy his fingers actually are the more you look at them. the subtle veins that ran over the back of his hand and up his arm. his middle and ring finger, how nicely they slide in and out, hitting that spot, coaxing you toward—

“whatcha readin’?”

the abrupt question shocks you out of your trance, making you yelp and practically throw your phone across the room. it lands face down beside your vanity, earning a loud thud when it hits the floor. your heart speeds up as you turn to face your roommate, internal temperature rapidly rising.

“jesus, satoru! what are you doing home?” you ask, praying that he wouldn’t take it upon himself to grab your phone for you.

“it’s my apartment, too, y’know,” he retorts, throwing his hands on his hips dramatically. “i’m gonna be here for a few days, if you don’t mind.” every word off his tongue is laced in sarcasm. it’s annoying.

and just as you try to reply, gojo swoops to the other side of the room to grab your phone, intently staring at the screen before you can even say, “stop!” you want to run away because you just know he’s reading pure filth about himself that you looked up. but you find yourself unable to move whatsoever, only able to watch in horror as your roommate reads fanfiction about himself. immediately, a sly grin overcomes satoru’s expression, and his eyes flicker from the phone to you over his sunglasses.

“this is pretty detailed stuff,” satoru teases. you’re able to tell he is in fact reading whatever you had pulled up on your phone, because he’s taking his sweet time scrolling and reading through all the divine things said about his hands.

“stop, satoru,” you whine, pathetically reaching for your phone. gojo holds it out of your reach, of course, and even though you almost came to grab your phone that was almost touching the ceiling, you can’t quite reach it. “please just go away,” you sigh, giving up and flopping back down on your mattress. you can only look on, still mortified, as satoru continues scrolling.

after a few heavy minutes and some more comments on your choice of fiction to read, he throws your phone back on the bed next to you, placing his hands on his hips once more.

“how long were you gonna keep that from me?”

“never really planned on telling you, satoru. leave me alone.” you reply, grabbing your phone so it’s out of gojo’s reach.

“you could’ve just asked—,”

“go away—huh?” you furrow your brows and look at the taller man, who’s sassily posed next to your bed, “don’t fuck with me like that.”

“i’m not.” he assures you.

satoru wasn’t joking. in fact, he had never been more serious in his life. he’d always thought you were pretty – more like drop dead, breathtakingly beautiful – but never mustered up the courage to talk to you about it. you were his friend, his roommate. he didn’t want to scare you off. but all chances of him not scaring you off were thrown out the window because he knew you wanted him now.

so, yes, he did what he did with every other girl—encouraging a hot make-out session after you got over the embarrassment of what was on your phone. you hadn’t had a chance to think about all those stories you read online, because it was all happening to you in real time.

with your lips in a permanent lock, satoru takes his time rubbing his hands all over your body, grabbing your waist, flipping up the skirt you had worn in the previous hours to run errands—

“wait,” you labored out, breathing heavy as you pushed your roommate’s shoulders away from you, “i’ve never—i haven’t…” your words are tripping over themselves into silence as you try to explain to your – gorgeous, famous, actor – roommate that you’re a virgin.

queue satoru’s head almost exploding. he swears then and there that his nose should’ve started to bleed, and his face turned an awful shade of red at the news. it was unfathomable in his mind that you, his smoking-hot roommate, was a virgin. he swore he saw you come home with your ex-boyfriend plenty of times…but maybe you were saving yourself, or something.

“stop looking at me like that. you were a virgin too.” you scoff at his ogling, crossing your arms over your chest. you’re still trapped against your headboard, the sheer size of satoru making you stay in one place. your legs are draped over his thighs, not quite straddling but close enough for him to feel the heat radiating off of your clothed pussy.

“do you want me to finger you?”

the crude question rolls off his tongue with ease, and you smack his shoulder with the palm of your hand in return. but again, he’s being serious. it takes you a few seconds to realize he’s being serious, he wants to finger you and it’s written all over his face.

after a few moments and shocked blinks, you nod your head.

satoru’s nosebleed actually happens whenever he gets you in position; you’re laid back with your legs on top of his, knees pressing into his waist. he just stares in utter disbelief at how cute and sexy you look, flustered all because of him. he runs the pad of his thumb over the mound in your panties, relishing in how soft, warm and damp you are. he can’t take his eyes away from how his thumb presses into the flesh, pushing down just to watch how his thumb gets swallowed by it.

“satoru—your nose is bleeding,” you gruffly state, snapping the white-haired man back to reality. one hand stays pressed to you while he lifts the other one to wipe under his nose with the back of his wrist.

low and behold, a few droplets of blood smear on the back of his wrist—but he’s too entranced by you to care. he looks back in your eyes, wiping his face with his shirt grossly.

“i’m okay—can i take them off?” satoru asks, almost politely if he wasn’t bleeding from the nose at how horny he is. his fingers hook into the waistband, eagerly awaiting your nervous little nod that you give him. he rips the thin fabric off your legs, taking it upon himself to lift you up and move your legs so he can toss your panties to the side of the room.

your immediate response is to snap your thighs together, but satoru quickly stops you and holds your legs open, forcing you to show your most intimate area to him. he drools over how pretty it looks, folds spread open and glistening, a perfect display of anatomy. he’s in love with the view alone. a prominent tent pokes in his sweatpants, but he ignores the feeling to focus on the task at hand.

“stop staring,” you meekly speak up, eyes looking anywhere else but at your celebrity roommate.

satoru’s bright irises look up at you before asking, “can i?” with the looks of a child begging for a piece of candy. after another quick, nervous nod, satoru swipes his thumb over your hole, then all the way up to over your clit. the sensation makes you wriggle and gasp, it’s odd being touched by someone else—but it feels good, even better than alone. natural lubrication practically drips off your pussy, so prettily, and satoru continues dragging his thumb up and down, paying close attention to how you whimper or move around when he gets to the bundle of nerves poking out.

you feel particularly needy at his ministrations, they’re so slow and it leaves you aching for more when he moves to less sensitive parts of your cunt. every time your eyes flash to gojo, he’s completely locked on what’s between your plush thighs, making you all the more embarrassed. embarrassment is thrown away, though, when his middle and ring fingers close together and creep up to slowly rub your clit.

your body jolts and satoru silently giggles, god, you’re so sensitive for him, he might go insane. he finds it simply endearing how well you react to him. each small circle he draws over your bud makes your thighs twitch and hole clench, and from his view, he can see it all perfectly. satoru’s eyes look up at you for once, just to see your head thrown back on the pillow and your bottom lip tucked between your teeth to silence yourself.

“don’t be quiet, babe,” he says, and your eyes snap open to be brought back to reality.

“wh—uuht?” you drawl, mind hazy and foggy from just the little bit of pleasure he was providing. but as your mouth is open, he speeds his fingers up, forcing you to practically yell out, “satoru—wait!”

“i wanna hear you,” gojo taunts, his voice light and happy, not at all giving the impression he was playing with your cunt.

he does not wait, or slow down, he only continues to quicken the pace of which his fingers circle your clit. he feels accomplished when you finally begin to let out little moans and suck in air through your teeth, knowing the feeling of his finger pads was becoming all too much. this was the type of thing he lived for—making cute, inexperienced girls (you) lose their mind from pleasure.

it’s the type of pleasure that you weren’t able to achieve yourself; it made the bottoms of your feet tingle, and your legs move on their own—and the familiar feeling of an orgasm was quickly building up. the knot in your lower abdomen grows tighter and more intense, making you whine and thrash below your roommate.

satoru’s other hand comes down to prod his index finger at your tight hole, an unfamiliar feeling to you—especially as it’s being done by someone else. he pushes his finger in, causing another yelp to come from the back of your throat—but it doesn’t hurt. gently fucking you with just the tip of his finger, satoru’s hand focused on your clit speeds up more.

“mm—satoru, think i’m close,” your words are rushed as you warn him, but his movements don’t falter in the slightest.

“yeah? gonna cum on my fingers?” he teases, “gonna cream all my hand?”—and if you weren’t already so close, you would’ve kicked him out at the taunting. instead, you throw your arms over your face and try your best to hold back the feeling—wanting it to last as long as possible. he slowly pushes his finger in more and more, gradually coming to fuck you with one thin, long finger. the first bit he’s fully inside, it’s uncomfortable, but the pressure fades the more he plays with you. the bubble of your orgasm grows and grows until you’re about to topple over the edge.

“i’m gonna cum,” the words come out your mouth in a long, sultry string— satoru’s never heard anyone sound so good while telling him that.

“yeah, that’s it—come on, baby,” satoru encourages you, his voice having dropped multiple octaves to sound a million times more sexy — far from the satoru you’d come to know. his words force the orgasm to crash over you, your body continually jolting and stuttering—beginning to fight satoru because he doesn’t stop.

“i—i finished—stop, satoru—ohmygod—,” you stutter out, and satoru presses his elbows against your thigh, rendering you immobile.

“you’re so sensitive, princess,” satoru teases again, and you catch his eyes in a downright primal stare,

“gonna make you cum on my fingers again, baby.”

Lorelei — Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader | Part V

1 2 3 4 5 6

Synopsis: Aware of the way his lifestyle doesn't align with your dream life and unwilling to quit his life as a soldier, Simon breaks things off with you. It isn't until a year later that he sees you again, a tiny carbon copy of him held in your arms.

This chapter can be read as a one-shot without having to read the whole story! :)

"Are you staying for Christmas?" You ask casually, decorating the cookies you baked with Simon's help. Your daughter is sleeping peacefully in her crib, a small Santa Claus onesie on her, preparing her for the celebration even when there's still a few hours left.

"You want me to?" He asks with a raised eyebrow, brown eyes fully focused on decorating the head of one of the cookie figures, steady hand drawing a skull pattern with ease.

"It's her first Christmas, I think she'd like having her father around." I want you around as well. He's lucky you're focused on decorating your cookies, missing the way his face lights up with a proud smile. It's a lot of progress.

''Right. I got you both some presents in the car.'' He washes his hands on the sink, giving his daughter one last look before leaving the house, trying to gather as many of the gifts he bought as possible. ''Some presents'' was clearly an understatement— he has been building a pile of gifts for months, his car full of boxes and bags for both you and your little girl.

''Jesus Christ.'' You wash your hands and go help him as you see him struggling to carry the pile, taking some from him and putting them under the Christmas tree.

''There's more in the car.'' He seems almost sheepish as he confesses, giving him a small pat on the arm as you go outside to help him. You almost laugh as you look inside, the entire backseat full of presents. It's almost ridiculous, yet so charming how much he wants to make both of you happy, knowing how much it the holidays mean to you, especially now that you have a daughter.

''Isn't this... a bit overkill?'' You joke, earning you a playful pat on the ass now that your arms are busy. You miss the kick thrown his way, jogging after him with a smile when he playfully gets on the other side of the couch to avoid you getting revenge.

''I still got one more present coming, but that's for later.'' He walks back to the kitchen once he made sure you weren't going to kill him for patting your ass.

''I swear to God, Simon, if it's another d—'' He interrupts you by smearing frosting on your cheek, shooting you a cheeky smile that gets erased the moment you do it back— smearing way more than you should have all over his cheek.

''Bastard.''

Your baby was up by the time it was midnight, excited to see her mum and dad opening up presents and even joining in, tiny hands clearly struggling with the wrapping paper, yet somehow managing without help.

''Strong girl, like her mum.'' You smile softly at his words, looking at the way your daughter stares curiously at one of her last presents; a cactus activated by sound.

''Say 'hello'.'' Simon says, getting closer to the toy until it activates, dancing around and lighting up. Astrid looks confused as she looks at it, brown eyes looking up at you before looking back at the toy.

''Hello.'' He repeats, a warm smile on his lips when the toy starts dancing again, much to your daughter's confusion. She babbles at it, tiny hands reaching out to touch it once it starts moving and playing back her sounds, giggles escaping her lips as the toy imitates her laugh.

Simon's phone vibrates in his pocket, getting up from the couch before looking down at his phone with twinkling eyes.

''My mate's here, I'll be right back.'' He doesn't wait for you to reply, already out of the house before you can even say anything. Your focus is back to your daughter, happy that she enjoys playing with the toy rather than being scared of it like you've seen in videos online. Brave girl she is, not a single lick of fear in her.

Simon comes back a minute later, holding a big German Shepherd that can definitely walk on its own. You give him a questioning look as he sets it on the floor, holding his collar just in case.

''Absolutely not.'' You try to protest, yet your gaze softens when you see Astrid crawl to the dog.

''Wa-wa!'' She points out, tiny hands reaching up to pet the dog the same way you've taught her, gentle. The dog doesn't react much besides laying down on the floor for your daughter to pet it, making it much easier for her.

''His name's Riley, he's a retired K-9. Look, I'll pay for his food and even for someone to come take care of him when I'm not here, I just... want you to be safe.'' There's hints of pleading on his tone, eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looks at you.

''... I'll take care of him.'' You say with a small sigh, knowing Simon wants nothing else than for both of his girls to be safe, especially when he's deployed.

''We gave him extra training to deal with kids and emergencies. Big geezer's patient and good.'' He keeps trying to sell it as if you didn't say yes already, a small giggle escaping your lips before giving him a reassuring smile.

''We'll keep him, don't worry.'' You crouch down to pet the dog, who is clearly enjoying the attention from your daughter, allowing her to rest on his side while petting his head.

There's a smile on his face as he looks down at his family, hands fumbling with the small box in his pocket.

Can I ask why you hate Tim 😭 I’m genuinely curious im just getting into batfam lore and I see so many ppl hating on him

I don’t hate Tim as a character—I used to love him. He was one of my favorite Robins for years because of how well-written and unique he was. But over the past 6-7 years, the writing has completely ruined him.

Tim started as the smartest Robin, someone who stood out because of his brains and determination. He wasn’t chosen to be Robin because of tragedy or by accident—he earned it. He figured out Batman and Robin’s identities on his own, proving how intelligent and capable he was. He became Robin not because he needed Batman, but because Batman needed him. That dynamic made him special.

But now? He’s gone from being the 'smartest Robin' to what DC themselves called the 'always-online bisexual.' That’s literally how they described him in their marketing, and it shows how little respect they have for his character. Instead of focusing on his intelligence, his strategic mind, or his growth as a hero, they’ve reduced him to a walking label. His sexuality is the only thing they emphasize now, and that’s not representation—that’s lazy writing. Not to mention the arts sucks. The artists who make comics for him are coming straight out of Wattpad. Look at this shit:

The art sucks. Now compare this trash to these:

Fucking beautiful. I can just look at it and be happy. Idk about others but it's obvious which one I'm going to buy.

And the change wasn’t organic. Tim was written as straight for 40 years. He had deep, meaningful relationships with female characters, especially Stephanie Brown. Their relationship was one of the healthiest and most developed in the Batfam. They supported each other, they had chemistry, and it felt natural. But then the writers threw it all away. His new relationship feels hollow and forced, like it only exists to make him a bisexual character.

Don’t get me wrong—representation is important. But when it’s done this way, it feels like a checkbox, not real development. A character’s sexuality isn’t a personality trait or an arc. Tim was more than his sexuality before, but now it feels like that’s all DC cares about.

Compare this to other Robins:

Dick Grayson (the first Robin):

Dick is the OG, but when he debuted, people didn’t take him seriously. Back then, he was seen as a sidekick—a kid in bright tights following Batman around. When DC aged him up and transitioned him into Nightwing, he became a leader, a symbol of independence, and the heart of the Batfamily. Now he’s beloved, but it took years for fans to respect him.

Jason Todd (the second Robin):

Jason was hated when he first replaced Dick. Fans thought he was just a cheap copy—another circus kid in a Robin costume. His personality rubbed people the wrong way, and the backlash was so bad that DC actually let fans vote to kill him off. But when Jason was brought back as Red Hood, his character was transformed. He’s now a fan-favorite because of his anger, his moral complexity, and his strained relationship with Bruce. Fans went from hating him to loving him, but it took a lot of work to get there.

Damian Wayne (the current Robin):

Damian started as an arrogant, entitled brat. Fans found him unlikable, and many hated that he replaced Tim as Robin. But DC invested in his growth. Over time, Damian became more humble, learned to work with others, and developed his own unique dynamic with Bruce. Now, he’s seen as one of the most compelling Robins.

Tim, however, had the opposite journey. When he debuted, he was instantly loved. He wasn’t a tragic orphan or a rebellious anti-hero. He was just a smart, determined kid who figured out Batman’s identity and stepped up because he believed Batman needed Robin. Fans loved that. His comics as Robin sold for years—something Dick and Jason never achieved when they were Robin.

But now? Tim has gone from being one of the most beloved Robins to a joke. DC doesn’t know what to do with him, so they’ve reduced him to being the 'always-online bisexual' (their own words). His entire character now revolves around his sexuality. A character’s sexuality isn’t character development. I only care about sexuality when it's comes to watching porn. Tim was so much more than that. He was the smartest Robin, the strategic genius who could outthink even Bruce. But now, that part of him is gone.

He’s not Robin anymore, but he doesn’t have a clear role or identity. While Dick is Nightwing, Jason is Red Hood, and Damian is Robin, Tim is stuck in this weird limbo. DC hasn’t given him a meaningful arc—they’re just writing him for the sake of saying, 'Look, we have a bisexual character.' And I as a bisexual person found it very offensive.

What makes this even worse is that Tim’s been overshadowed by Damian. DC created Damian partly because they hated Tim, and now Damian has taken over everything that made Tim special. He’s a tactical genius, a skilled fighter, and even looks like Tim now. I mean look:

If it wasn't for his girlfriend in these pictures and the art style I couldn't tell if it's Tim or Damian.

Tim deserved better. He lost most of his real fans and these days his fans are people who are into yaoi. He used to be one of the smartest, most relatable characters in the Batfam. But instead of building on that, DC has turned him into a caricature. That’s why I’ve lost respect for how they’ve handled him—not because of his sexuality, but because they’ve erased everything that made him great and replaced it with shallow writing. He's just an extra now that is better dead. And if DC itself don't care about it's characters then why should I? We have enough good comics with good art for Dick, Jason and Damian that I don't even think about Tim anymore.

So the Open Library decision came down, and there's already a lot of hand wringing about it. Before you start waving torches about how this is all moneygrubbing Big Publishing flexing its muscle, I'd beg you to actually read the facts of the case. From the decision:

This appeal presents the following question: is it "fair use" for a nonprofit organization to scan copyright-protected print books in their entirety, and distribute digital copies online in full, for free, subject to a one-to-one-loaned ratio between its print copies and the digital copies it makes available at any given time, all without authorization from the copyright-holding publishers or authors? Applying the relevant privisions of the Copyright Act as well as binding Supreme Court and Second Circuit precedent, we conclude the answer is no. We therefore AFFIRM. (the previous decision). 1. This has never been about the Wayback Machine, Archive.org's historical collections, or out of print books. NOTHING in the court decisions prevent them from continuing that work. 2. This has never been about "libraries being able to have and lend books." 3. Yes. libraries do have ebooks and lend them out. They pay for the ebooks. There are licensing terms. 4. Open Library did not pay licenses. They rebuffed publishers when they were approached about it. They therefore want to claim they are a library without acting like a library.

Oh, and they were marketing this as a positive to other libraries: "get books for free! Don't pay! 5. The issue specifically is about new books, not the out of print stuff.

Here's the thing about that. Unless it ends up being a new timeless classic, most books make most of their money in their first year or so. If sales aren't good, it can impact future book contracts.

Here's the other thing about that. Most authors earn four figures or less annually for their writing, even if they are publishing with a major house. They almost always have to have at least one other job, and often several. I know so many writers who have several jobs just to make rent every month. Often, the money they get for a advance is the only money they ever see from the book - if they even get an advance, which is increasingly rare these days.

Thus, if that license is not purchased, it does hurt them - directly.

"But it's one license at one library!" Cool cool, can we just take a week of your salary and tell you "it's just one week, you won't miss it?" 6. Big Publishing! Money Grubbing Fiends!

Yeah, the big publishers did mount this lawsuit. Do you honestly fucking think that independent midlist writers making four figures a year had the money to hire attorneys to do it? They had the money, they did what the authors alone could not. 7. But people couldn't get the book otherwise.

Okay. Some of those books are like $2 as ebooks or used paper copies. If you can't afford that, there's this wonderful thing called the public library, where you can get a free library card and access to books online for free. Books that have been paid for. If you don't have access to a library in another country - I'm sorry. But this isn't the answer. Maybe when it comes to media you don't always get everything you want all the time. You know, like in the real world with grownups. I'd also add that you can keep using Archive.org's other services that were not questioned here which give you access to lots of other media, with older out of print books, magazines, etc. There are other websites like Issu which offer publications online for free, LEGALLY. This decision isn't the Last Chance Saloon for media access.

I know that a lot of you think authors and other creatives apparently are not entitled to get paid for their work like everyone else, or at least don't translate pirating to "the writer's not getting paid for this." Apparently they're supposed to work for free "for the love of it!" don't need to pay for food, healthcare and housing, and should smile whenever their stuff is pirated. So maybe it truly doesn't matter to you that the big issue here is authors not getting paid, I don't know. That's what it's about, though.

How Football Players Engage Their Fans with Social Media

1. Enhancing Fan Engagement

Live Q&A sessions and interactive polls keep fans involved among themselves, allowing them to directly interact with their favorite football personalities. Instagram reels, TikTok challenges, and YouTube vlogs provide bite-sized entertaining content for the younger audience, which aligns with modern digital consumption. Cristiano Ronaldo is another player who enhances engagement by sharing snippets of his fitness regimen and personal lives, further strengthening the close relationship between players and their respective fans.  

2. Driving Brand Collaborations

Football icons have become assets to brands making their sponsorship deals larger than their earnings for the clubs. Marketers and clubs work with them to monetize their massive footprints on social media to grow the Clubs and marketers leverage their massive social media presence to drive football entertainment and revenue growth. Big brands take advantage of digital reach such as Pepsi with Messi in South America, Nike and Adidas with Ronaldo and Messi globally, and Louis Vuitton with Pogba. Some of the biggest football contracts in history reveal that earnings from contracts are even exceeding players' earnings from their official club contracts.

3. Revolutionizing Club Marketing

The use of influencer marketing to drive ticket and merchandise revenue is maintained alongside amplified promotion. Clubs like PSG and Manchester United have influential ties to expand their visibility and attract global audiences. Viral moments that arise through specific goal celebrations or behind-the-scenes content lead to buzz on social media, therefore elevating a club's digital presence and brand value further.  

4. Social Media Buzz and Digital Impact

The influencer-fueled transmission tends to spark trends and talks across all platforms: after all, this is the way fans gain access to all the necessary information and brush up on fan interaction with football content. Real Madrid’s Rodrygo’s example of generating an unprecedented social media wave, as it closely cites how precisely footballers slant the global talking conversation with fans. After busting up digital trends and stirring the buzzing discussions online, an influencer keeps the football culture moving forward and engaging.

Cyberbullying: Trolls took advantage of Rashford’s anti-poverty activism to ridicule him.

Mental Health: Crafting an ideal image to the world is challenging.

Privacy: Keeping the balance between personal and professional is most difficult for these influential figures.

Injuries and Career setbacks: Social media makes injuries feel worse. Football players like Neymar and Rodrygo have had their mishaps go viral, with fans arguing about how they affect the team. Some really bad football injuries in history have changed player careers and sparked intense online conversations between followers.

The Future of Football Entertainment on Social Media

The future of football entertainment on social media is here with virtual influencers and AI-driven football content. Advanced tools like TacticAI, made by Liverpool and Google DeepMind are making tactical analysis better which influencers use to make cool data-filled content. As robots keep changing football info, more clubs will bring in social media stars for their plans, and Indian football stars on Instagram will get more global attention.

Final Conclusion: Football influencers are messing with how fans connect to the sport. As digital places change, social media football stars will keep affecting the future of football fun. Keep watching Sportsdunia for new news on football influencers and social media happenings.

Real Estate Agent Salary: How Much Do Real Estate Agents Make?

Real estate can be a lucrative career, but how much do real estate agents actually earn? If you're considering becoming a real estate agent or just curious about the profession, this guide will break down the average salaries, commission structures, and factors that impact earnings.

How Real Estate Agents Make Money

Unlike traditional salaried jobs, most real estate agents earn money through commissions. When an agent helps buy or sell a property, they receive a percentage of the sale price as their payment. This means an agent’s earnings are largely performance-based.

Commission Structure

Real estate commissions typically range from 4% to 6% of the property’s sale price, with the amount split between the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent. If a home sells for $300,000 at a 6% commission rate, that’s $18,000 in total commission, which is usually divided as follows:

50% to the buyer’s agent ($9,000)

50% to the seller’s agent ($9,000)

Brokers may take a portion of the agent's commission, reducing their take-home earnings.

Average Salary of a Real Estate Agent

The annual salary of a real estate agent varies based on experience, location, and work ethic. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS):

Median Annual Salary (2024): Around $51,220

Top 10% Earners: Over $112,000 per year

Lowest 10% Earners: Under $25,000 per year

New agents often struggle in their first year as they build a client base, while experienced agents with strong networks can earn six figures or more.

Factors Affecting Real Estate Agent Salaries

1. Location

Real estate agents in high-demand markets earn significantly more. For instance, agents in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco tend to make higher commissions due to expensive property values. In contrast, smaller towns and rural areas may offer lower commissions due to lower home prices.

2. Experience Level

Entry-Level Agents (0-2 Years): Typically earn between $30,000 and $50,000.

Mid-Career Agents (3-5 Years): Earn between $50,000 and $80,000.

Experienced Agents (5+ Years): Can earn over $100,000, especially if they have a solid referral base.

3. Number of Sales

A successful real estate agent closes multiple transactions per year. The more deals closed, the higher the earnings. Top-performing agents sell 30+ homes per year, while the average agent sells around 12 homes per year.

4. Brokerage Commission Split

New agents often work under a brokerage that takes a percentage of their earnings. Some common splits include:

50/50 split: Half goes to the agent, half to the brokerage.

70/30 split: Agent keeps 70%, brokerage gets 30%.

100% commission model: Agents pay a flat fee to the brokerage and keep the rest of the commission.

5. Specializations & Certifications

Agents who specialize in luxury homes, commercial properties, or investment properties tend to earn more. Additional certifications like Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) or Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) can also increase credibility and income.

How to Increase Your Salary as a Real Estate Agent

1. Focus on High-Value Properties

Selling higher-priced homes leads to bigger commission checks. Targeting upscale neighborhoods or commercial properties can significantly boost earnings.

2. Build a Strong Network

Referrals and repeat clients are key to a steady income. Building relationships with past clients, mortgage lenders, and local businesses helps generate leads.

3. Leverage Online Marketing

Having a professional website, social media presence, and utilizing SEO-driven real estate blogs can attract buyers and sellers. Investing in digital marketing can help grow your client base.

4. Work With a High-Commission Brokerage

Choosing a brokerage with a better commission split means keeping more of your earnings. Some brokerages allow agents to keep 100% of their commissions in exchange for a monthly fee.

5. Become a Real Estate Broker

Experienced agents can become brokers, allowing them to earn from their own sales and from the agents working under them.

Final Thoughts

A real estate agent’s salary varies widely based on location, experience, and effort. While new agents may struggle in the beginning, those who stay dedicated and build strong networks can earn six figures or more. By specializing in high-value properties, leveraging online marketing, and working with the right brokerage, agents can maximize their earnings in this dynamic industry.

FAQs About Real Estate Agent Salaries

1. Do real estate agents get a base salary? Most agents work on commission, meaning they don’t receive a fixed salary. However, some brokerages offer a base salary plus commission.

2. Can real estate agents make six figures? Yes, top agents who close multiple high-value deals can easily earn over $100,000 per year.

3. How long does it take to start making money as a real estate agent? It can take 3-6 months to close the first deal. New agents often struggle at first but can build momentum with consistent effort.

4. What is the highest-paying real estate job? Luxury real estate agents, commercial real estate brokers, and real estate investors typically make the most money.

By optimizing your career strategy and staying committed, you can make real estate a highly rewarding profession. Are you ready to start your journey as a real estate agent?

Travel Buddies Tag Game

Thanks so much @cowboybrunch for this tag - sorry I'm still so behind with the tag games.

Rules: Imagine your characters are going on a trip for vacation. Which ones are most likely to fit the roles below?

No pressure passing the tag onto: @museandquill @queen-tashie @the-golden-comet @scifimagpie + open tag :)

1. Doing mad research for an affordable place for everyone to stay. Morgana 100%. As an anxiety-riddled mess, she'll need to have everything booked in advance in case they can't all get booked into the same place, for the same prices. She'll also be over thinking everything, so will have contingency plans in case things go wrong.

2. Hoping to try all the new food they can. This one is a bit of a toss up between Ted, Avery & Frieda. Frieda loves to try new experiences, whereas Avery is just a bottomless pit when it comes to food (they must have a tape worm or something because they can eat so much and still maintain a svelte figure!). Ted enjoys cooking, and having grown up with Momma Rosa, who is a complete foodie, will be ordering everything off the menu and wanting to compliment the chef at every restaurant, cafe, hot dog stand etc.

3. Wants to stay inside and sleep through the whole vacation. Pete; he'll just want to lie and sleep. Get my boy some well earned R&R; he deserves it.

4. Believes no vacation is complete without certain activities (going to the beach, swimming, skiing, sightseeing, hiking, etc, whatever they're passionate about). Sarah will have a well organised itinerary so that they can make sure they see all the sights she wants them to. She'll also have the exact times they need to be at places to get the best photos for her insta, as well as when they'll be able to get the best natural light for the pictures. Despite being reasonably well-off, she'll have booked everything with coupons and discount codes she found online.

5. Is annoyed that certain people are in the same travel group as them. Sarah- mainly because she doesn't want Morgana in the group photos because...well, having a moping necromancer in your photos is a bit of a downer. Bu then she'll feel bad and not want to exclude Morgana, because, well, she's still her sister. But rather than expressing herself with her big girl words, Sarah will just be pissy about it. Siblings, amirite?

6. Buying souvenirs for everyone back home. Kyrie is absolutely thrilled to be able to buy tacky snowglobes and fridge magnets, as well as the obligatory "My parents went to X place, and all they brought me back was this crappy t-shirt". Avery is actively encouraging this behaviour and slipping Kyrie more cash when her purse is empty. Sarah can't understand how her daughter hasn't spent all of her money as the suitcase slowly fills with tourist-tat. Nor can she understand why Avery and Kyrie occasionally cackle to themselves in the back of the car.

7. Is about to turn this trip into a business trip. Morgana...uh oh! Is that a ghost hanging about over there, with a mysterious and totally solvable case of the murders? And as a police officer, Ted has no option but to investigate, whilst secretly enjoying every minute of this, as he gets a chance to work on a case with his wife.

[paladin-of-nerd-fandom65]

Pretty good answers! :D

1: since being half-aliens, have they ever been treated “differently”? (Like the x-men/mutants in marvel)

2: how did they get into Dragonball? I say Kon & Tim introduced it to them (plus Jon)

3: how does one become a member of the titans of tomorrow/Star Knights?

4: what’s their opinion on the Netflix adaption of avatar the last airbender?

5: what’s their bedrooms look like? (I know Jake’s)

6: what does the members of titans of tomorrow/starknights look like? (Besides the duo & mar’i) do you use canon appearances?

Thanks Man, it’s really appreciated @pin-crusher2000 👍

1) While on the whole the two are respected quite well and even have some popularity at their respective schools, even now and then, especially in their earlier elementary school days, they would get picked on by some bullies for their little quirks as pertained by their origin points. Sure when in the field as heroes they can get intense scrutiny and even some bigotry based on their alien and technically mutant trait, it’s not really a thing that truly affects them as they’ve faced it beforehand and it really doesn’t matter as much as their real angsts in life

2) Oh my beyond doubt it was Kon and Jon to an extent that introduced the Duo to Dragon Ball, mainly after Jon got a manga volume of the original series when he was shopping for Naruto ones. Chris was interested in it so Jon went ahead to get it for his big brother and shortly then Jake looked up the original series online and once the two were able to sit and watch the series from there, the Duo’s fandom began in earnest.

3) Initiation comes with first proving yourself a trustworthy, reliable and honest type of hero that wants to hang out with them, basically earning their friendship which isn’t too hard. Honestly, both teams aren’t necessarily strict nor they ever relied on tests or the like unless the newest recruit requests them. That being said if you wanna be a true permanent member a lot faster for the StarKnights in particular, you are dared to spend a day wearing a blue and pink tutu and later last through eating there entire bowls of Brussels sprouts.

4) At first Chris and Jake were genuinely enthusiastic as the look of the show and the effects promised something that would be faithful in its own way to the show that started it all. Overtime though with each new announcement made to change the story and character details which are true deviations from the source material, that enthusiasm quickly gave way to caution and weariness. They can only hope it’s not as bad as that live action movie which was the first attempt at adapting that show.

5) I picture Chris having redwood hardwood floors couple with orange carpets and rugs laid out all over, his Queen sized bed next to the window, two glass sliding doors for his closet, a small two shelves dresser next to said bed, drawers and cabinets on the opposite side of the bed which on top of one is his TV and video game consoles, his action figures, and even a Straight Ally flag. At one empty corner would be his electric Bass Guitar and inside the closet and dresser are his comic books. Finally in the bed itself, he has a grey and white comforter which is topped by his favorite Sky Blue Blanket with an S Shield on it.

6) Well, for Jasper Logan in particular since he’s an OC created by an old mutual of mine and a fan art, this link here should help you get a visual on what he looks like

Otherwise, fudging with the ages a bit, the StarKnights and the Titans of Tomorrow have their physical appearances based on canonical forms. Only tiny change I can think of being for Irey and Jai having Dark Yellow and Lime Green respectively as part of their super suits to help distinguish them.

Bathroom at El Cid, Bar Italia 6/19/23

I got the call that a ticket was free an hour and a half before the band was set to play.

Bar Italia's first LA show seemed fit for a Monday, and everyone inside was dressed far to appropriately for the setting. What may have lacked in originality from the crowd made up in the main event, a performance everyone will brag about for years to come.

Bar Italia had been the best kept secret of the noisy British post-punk scene debuting their first album Quarrel in 2020. Mystery and irony are at the forefront of their aesthetic, seemingly not taking their music as intentionally serious. The debut was short and sweet, not sticking to one specific genre yet not earning an experimental title. Their first recorded album becomes more muffled as each track proceeds, as if you are falling into a dreamlike state while listening. With this said, it was a blessing to hear their sound wide awake.

The band spoke not one word while performing. However, I do not think this was due to a lack of chemistry. The three heads of the band, Nina Cristante, Sam Fenton, and Jezmi Tarik Fehmi worked harmoniously whilst not batting a single eye towards each other.  I had told my friends that Nina’s demeanor reminded me of Hope Sandoval, in which one laughed and went, 

“No”. 

They did not bid the crowd farewell and simply took off their instruments and walked off stage. Untrained listeners assumed an encore, but luckily my friends and I linked arms and caught them as they were walking off stage into the corridor. They are truly stunning people; genetics had blessed them well. 

Although I tread lightly when describing a band through their online presence alone, I’m not sure how serious they could be when their album covers consist of memes that are popular during the time. I too felt like a crying stick figure once the set ended. 

The band themself are wonderful people, not yet touched by arrogance from their success. My lovely friend went to speak to them after the show and was gifted a small strip of paper that had their setlist. While speaking to them he claimed that their image isn’t cultivated, they just come across as the niche they wish to present. This doesn’t discredit their humor or general attractiveness, they are just kind people. 

Speaking of the crowd is not anywhere near as interesting as the band itself, but it does speak to the character of Bar Itaila's fanbase. It very well could have been the annoying LA charm everyone possessed, but it gave an aura of pretentiousness. As we danced and sang along, many in the crowd turned heads and told my companion to “be aware” to which I had turned and replied, “must be your first time”. It occurred a couple times throughout the night, but I don’t think our behavior was anywhere near inappropriate. You’re there to dance and sing and enjoy the music; why bother standing stone cold to seem otherworldly to a crowd who will probably laugh at you anyways. Might as well have some fun. 

I also must mention that the opening band 2070 was phenomenal. I had a chance to interview the leading members which will come out soon. 

Unlike other artists, or perhaps it was due to the size of the venue, they seemed real. I fear the band may be stuck in reddit purgatory for a while until their eventual burnout from popularity. Regardless, the band deserves success. They may be Matador’s unknown goldenchild for the time being, and I hope they continue with this status. 

It is easy to throw around terms such as “genuine” or “authentic”, especially when they are at the popularity level they currently hold, but for myself, they have earned the title.

20 Questions for Writers

Tagged by @jaimehwatson - thank you!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

165! Plus one unrevealed.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

567,814

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I tend to be serially monofannish and mainly write for one fandom at a time, with small forays into other fandoms for exchanges. So right now it's Danganronpa but for quite a while before that it was Locked Tomb, etc. My longest-running fandom I've written for is probably All For The Game because that series is embedded in my brain and will never leave,

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Unexpected - Bojack Horseman, 1220 kudos. It was the most kudosed fic in the fandom for a while!

you know what they say about assumptions - Star Wars, 872 kudos.

Into the Dark - IT Movies, 723 kudos.

The Kids Are Alright - IT Movies, 680 kudos.

Lights Will Guide You Home - Star Wars, 632 kudos. I should probably just tag this one "abandoned and discontinued" since I haven't touched it in six and a half years.

5. Do you respond to comments?

I used to be better about it and then I got out of the habit, probably because I stopped responding immediately (waiting for exchange anon periods to end.) I still try to go back and respond to recent ones, but there are a lot that it would be too weird to respond to now. I really appreciate every one of them, though.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably quiet birds in circled flight, which is an IT fic where Richie commits suicide instead of Stan. At least that's the first one that comes to mind.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

This is a harder one to answer, honestly, because I feel like most things I write aren't long enough to have an earned happy ending; it's usually at least bittersweet. My actual answer is probably the 50k Komahina fic that I'm in the process of editing, because the current ending was maybe the sweetest thing I've ever written and I disgusted myself.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I had one fic attract a bunch of hate comments because it was werewolf in wolf form/human smut. It was mostly funny.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes. Lots. I've been told my specialty is noncon but I write a lot of other stuff too!

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Never have and not sure if I ever will! It's just not something that really appeals to me, for some reason.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I think I had one put on Wattpad but I don't remember how that turned out.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Into Russian.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, mostly because I don't think I could write that collaboratively. The idea is interesting to me, though.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I don't know if I'm capable of having an all-time favourite.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I would like to tell myself I will someday finish my Star Wars WIP, but I was still in high school last time I touched it, and my writing style and taste have changed so dramatically since then that I would want to rewrite the entire thing. I would also like to go back and finish the second chapter of the Karate Kid fic I posted.... three years ago? That's at least possible.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Porn, I think. It's pretty easy for me to write at this point. I like writing arguments, I like writing fight scenes.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I still have not figured out how to do structural or significant editing on longer stories. I finished three long stories (at least first drafts) in 2023, one had to be posted for a deadline, and the other two are extremely daunting to consider.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I've never done it, I'd be intimidated, I'd have to ask a native speaker for assistance.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Hunger Games, when I was eleven! The fic was not good and it's still online until FFN goes bust.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

My TLT longfic Crashing remains possibly the proudest achievement of my life thus far. More than four times as long as the previous longest story I'd ever finished!

Tagging @ladyculebras @hearthouses @gregwambsganss @queermccoy and anyone else who wants to!

Exploring the Rapid Profit Machine (RPM): A Detailed Review of its Pros and Cons

The Rapid Profit Machine (RPM) Review: Pros and Cons

Introduction:

In today's digital age, opportunities to make money online have multiplied. One such opportunity is the Rapid Profit Machine (RPM) system, which claims to provide an automated solution for generating income. This article will explore the pros and cons of the RPM system, helping you decide if it's the right choice for you.

**Pros:**

1. **Free Initial Access:** One of the most appealing aspects of the RPM system is its initial free access. For a limited time, you can get started without any upfront cost. This makes it accessible to individuals who may be hesitant to invest large sums of money into online ventures.

2. **High Earning Potential:** The RPM system touts the potential for substantial income, with testimonials suggesting that multiple students have earned six figures as a result of this automated system. While these claims are impressive, it's essential to note that individual results may vary.

3. **Valuable Bonuses:** The RPM system offers over $4,715 worth of bonuses for free when you join. These bonuses can include additional training, tools, or resources to enhance your online marketing efforts, adding significant value to the package.

4. **Reputable Creator:** James Neville-Taylor, the mind behind RPM, is a multiple award-winning affiliate marketer and speaker. He has a track record of success and a reputation for providing value in his programs, whether they are paid or free.

5. **Ideal for Newbies:** RPM claims to be suitable for beginners, eliminating the barrier to entry for those who are new to online marketing. If you're just starting, the system aims to guide you through the process.

6. **No Continuity Fees:** Unlike some programs that lure you in with a low initial cost and then charge you monthly fees, RPM claims to have no hidden fees or continuity programs. This transparency is a refreshing change in an industry where hidden costs are common.

**Cons:**

1. **Unclear Methodology:** While RPM promises high earnings and free access, it doesn't provide a clear explanation of how the system works. It's essential to understand the methodology behind any online income-generating system to ensure it aligns with your skills and goals.

2. **Results Not Guaranteed:** The disclaimer mentioned in the RPM documentation is crucial to remember. It states that the results presented are those of action takers and does not guarantee that you will achieve similar results. Like any business venture, success depends on various factors, including your effort and market conditions.

3. **Limited Time Offer:** The offer for free access and bonuses may be available for a limited time. This creates a sense of urgency to sign up, but it's essential to evaluate the opportunity carefully and not rush into any decision.

4. **Marketing Hype:** The online marketing industry is rife with hype and exaggerated claims. While RPM presents a promising opportunity, it's crucial to approach it with a level head and not be swayed solely by the testimonials and promises.

5. **Success Not Guaranteed:** Achieving success in the online marketing world is challenging and highly competitive. The RPM system may provide valuable resources, but it's essential to understand that no system can guarantee success. It requires dedication, hard work, and adaptability.

Conclusion:

The Rapid Profit Machine (RPM) system offers a tempting opportunity for those seeking to make money online. Its free initial access, high earning potential, and valuable bonuses are undoubtedly appealing. However, it's essential to approach such opportunities with a critical eye.

Remember that while RPM may provide valuable resources and guidance, it does not guarantee success. Success in the online marketing world requires effort, a solid understanding of the methodology, and adaptability in a constantly changing landscape. Additionally, the limited-time offer and marketing hype should be taken with a grain of caution.

Ultimately, whether the RPM system is right for you depends on your individual goals, level of commitment, and willingness to navigate the challenges of the online marketing world. It's advisable to research further and consider your options before making any financial commitments.

**Additional Value:**

While the Rapid Profit Machine (RPM) system presents both pros and cons, there are several factors that can add even more value to your evaluation of this opportunity:

1. **Training and Support:** RPM promises to provide training and support for its users. The presence of educational materials and assistance from experienced marketers can significantly enhance your chances of success. It's important to assess the quality and comprehensiveness of the training provided.

2. **Community and Networking:** Joining a program like RPM can connect you with a community of like-minded individuals pursuing similar goals. This networking aspect can offer valuable insights, collaboration opportunities, and emotional support during your journey in the online marketing world.

3. **Diversified Income Streams:** Many successful affiliate marketers emphasize the importance of diversifying income streams. RPM may offer insights into various income-generating strategies, giving you the tools to explore multiple opportunities within the realm of affiliate marketing.

4. **Realistic Expectations:** Setting realistic expectations is crucial in the world of online marketing. While RPM highlights high earning potential, it's essential to remember that building a profitable online business takes time and persistence. A realistic understanding of the time and effort required can help you stay motivated and avoid disappointment.

5. **Risk Mitigation:** The initial free access to RPM allows you to evaluate the program without a significant financial commitment. This minimizes the risk associated with trying out new online ventures. It's a good practice to take advantage of free access opportunities to assess whether a program aligns with your goals.

6. **Continuous Learning:** The digital landscape is constantly evolving. A program like RPM can encourage a mindset of continuous learning, adapting to new technologies and marketing trends. This adaptability is a valuable skill in the online marketing world.

7. **Market Research Skills:** Effective online marketing often involves understanding your target audience and market. RPM may provide insights into conducting market research, a skill that can be beneficial for various online ventures.

In conclusion, while evaluating the Rapid Profit Machine (RPM) system, consider not only the immediate benefits and drawbacks but also the potential for personal and professional growth. The value of an online marketing program extends beyond immediate financial gains. It can equip you with skills, knowledge, and a network that can benefit you in various aspects of your life.

Ultimately, the decision to engage with the RPM system should be made after careful consideration of your individual goals, resources, and willingness to invest time and effort.

OOC / Rules

Hi! It's Alexis. You'll probably recognize me best from Gladiia, but I also run Aloisia.

I usually just link to Gladiia's blog for all of my secondary blogs for rule pages, but there's one big rule here that's Pozyomka-specific, so I'll just put it all here instead of making you go to another page.

This is probably going to read as tired and maybe a bit hostile. I promise, none of this is too serious. 99% of you would never once violate any of these rules even if you didn't read them. Just be a decent person, and you'll be gucci.

Rule 1: No minors. 18+ only.

There's not going to be much NSFW here, I'd figure, but I still don't want to risk exposing minors to that.

Rule 2: Don't try to do anything NSFW with me unless we're friends.

I'm just not comfortable with it. Please respect that.

Rule 3: Don't drag me into internet arguments.

I don't care. I...just really don't care. I've evolved past the need to virtue signal on the internet. This isn't an alt-right dogwhistle. I'm firmly anti-bigotry, and racism and the like will earn you an immediate block. Anyone who knows me can tell you my politics are far from right-wing. I just don't really feel the need to play the internet game of telephone so many people on here are keen on playing. If someone's actually a terrible person, then I am going to require (and would like!) actual evidence of that, not hearsay. Tumblr has a notorious history of parroting hearsay and nonsense callout posts, to the point where I just won't care if you give an accusation without including the context.

If I do something bad, ask me about it. If my friends do something bad, ask me about it off-anon. That's how adults solve problems.

Rule 4: Basic respect and blog operations.

Don't be a dick. I'll just block you if you're annoying. I'm not mean, I promise, I just don't want to have fun on the computer, not have bad times on the computer for...no benefit.

I'm...selective, whatever that means. Also single-verse, whatever that means. Do people even use these terms anymore? Whatever.

Everything is online. This is within the Arknights universe. There are rules to that universe. I have imposed my own. Respect that, and don't try to do shit to the setting and its narratives without talking to me about it OOC first. I'll show you the same courtesy.

Rule 5: Pedophile jokes get an immediate block.

This is the Pozyomka-specific rule.

If you're unfamiliar, which will be most of you, one of the most popular jokes within the Arknights community is that Pozyomka is a pedophile. This is because of her fondness for the Durin, which is rooted in her traumatic history and the Durin saving her life. It has nothing to do with sex, at all. But Arknights fans can't read. Don't fuck with Arknights fans. We've never read Arknights.

I hate them. They make me see red. Pozyomka is a beautiful and kind character whose hostility to most, and openness and warmth to the Durin and to children is a product of her desire to protect them from the trauma she's experienced. Please, do not feed this. Not even jokingly. I will not discriminate. No pedophile jokes, you will be blocked.

Rule 6: 👍

You did it. You got to the end. Get out of my house.

Also, I won't send you passwords or anything. I just won't. Feel free to block me if you don't like that. Or for...any reason. I'm not starting online drama because someone blocked me. We are here to have fun on the computer.
