it's fun how thermostat wires are color coded except sometimes yellow is blue but blue can also be a completely separate thing not associated with yellow.

jace 1-10. And 21
WOOHOO!!! ty naomh :) time to begin the questioning, answers under da readmore
WOW the formatting has gotten so annoying for posts . BUT
1, Do they have any crafting hobbies? Yes ! he's into whittling, it's an easy stim to do all you need is a pocket knife w a decent edge. He's thought of trying to do bigger projects than making little shapes, but has never gotten around to it. He's tried knitting with his sister but he's never gotten very far (and usually his stuff is pretty lopsided.) he loves woodworking also but since moving in with jenna there isn't enough space for it (or rather, thats his excuse . makes him think too much of their parents.)
2 Do they wear perfume/cologne? If so what scents do they prefer? sometimes! i won't lie to you, if he doesn't need to go anywhere or is just hanging out at home he usually forgets deodorant even . doesn't think about it LOL . but he likes the bath and body works sprays, goes for the fall themed scents like apple crisp . likes amber currant focused ones ! 3 Do they enjoy cooking?
not a single bit . enjoys food well enough but hates taking the time to prepare anything, so if he doesn't get food w friends or get roped into making something w his sister then he'll eat chips (EDIT: FORGOT ABOUT HIS LUST FOR GRILLED CHEESE . the only thing he likes to make or will .) 4 Do they enjoy baking?
this is definitely contradicted, but Jace is pretty contradicting but he likes making bread and cookies . in his mind, cooking and baking are very, very different . if given the opportunity he would definitely love to make something for wally and oscar !! and in the absence of hanging out with rose, he's definitely missing it 5 Do they have any tattoos? If so what are they and do they have any special meaning
(looks up his page to make sure i dont forget details) He has light grey barbed wire tattoos over his top surgery scars (anchor style) . you can still kind of see the scarring but not as much . He also has a pink hibiscus tattoo on the right side, front of his neck, if you were facing him it would be the left side of it ! also has a cluster of three green hyacinths on his left inner wrist, with dark green vines going from the bottom of his palm to the start of his inner elbow . he also has a terrible stick n poke garfield tattoo on his left outer thigh . ive waffled on whether it'd be an unnamed friend who gave it to him, or rose, but it hink its funnier if rose did it :)c theres also one i dont have on his sheet, because it wouldn't show up in the campaign and i can dm you it ... :)c 6 If they were badly injured, and for whatever reason couldn’t go to a hospital, who would they go to for help?
pre-campaign, he would go to his sister, otherwise contact rose or try to take care of it himself . during campaign he would reach out to wally first thing !! 7 Do they have any unusual fears?
going off the cuff rn cause ive BEEN considering what he would have, a fear of bugs is pretty common . but i'll certainly say he gets very nervous around bananas . one time when he was a kid he was looking thru them for his dad while going shopping and there was a bunch of bugs underneath a very neglected bunch . and well, he can't stomach them anymore and is always Very Sure one would just burst open full of bugs !!!! also open flames (campfires are ehhh . candles are okay) no good reason LOL . 8 Do they collect anything? If so what and why?
bottlecaps . likes to try a lot of different local beverages esp in glass bottles for this reason, he has a corkboard with a bunch of different ones organized by color hung in his room ! likes to see the unique designs people come up with . also novelty shot glasses , rose got him a couple touristy ones on a trip out of town, and makes it a point to get him any cool ones that catch his eye . 9 When they’re sick what do they do to feel better?
get under as many blankets as possible and play anything by simon & garfunkel . THE MORE WEIGHT THE BETTER !!!!!!!! and ghost energy drinks . 10 Do they have any regrets?
not standing up for jenna more, growing up . Its ABSOLUTELY one of those "you were a kid what could you do!" kind of deals but he still carries it on his shoulder . Wishes he paid more attention in math class, definitely skated out of there by the skin of his teeth and for some reason when he lies awake at night he thinks some things would be better if he could do algebra without a calculator . not being more honest about his feelings . 21 What is more important to them, friends or family? oooooooo . this is a doozy . its SO damn circumstantial !!! stuck on this . stuckstuckstuck . my heart says he would say friends are . don't get me wrong, his sister means the world to him . and his cousin, despite how they butt heads, is too . but there are some friends who are irreplaceable . so, friends . definitely .
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS !!!!!!!!!! i'm copying all this down and putting it in his folder so i dont forget what ive said .

COACH NEGAN [10]
Summary: second part today cause its valentine and i have no one swagout also dont be afraid to comment it honestly helps and ze reunioun next chapter
Pairing: negan x reader
Word count: 1137
Warnings: eventual smut, explicit scenes, vulgar language.
Negan did well. Oh, so fucking well, for he had done what he needed to survive the epidemic and a whole lot more. In charge off a large group he had christened the Saviors, he lived his best life; or at least as pleasurable as possible, considered the world was ending and had been for many years. Negan could not lie when it came about that, he had lost count. He did not dwell over that fact much either, as he saw this life as some of a heavenly world compared to his past life. In this life, he was in control, to some degree, and those who dared defy him, he could stroke with his delicate Lucille, wrapped in barbed wire and no one was there to take away that kind of power. Sure, the dead walked amongst them, but then again had anyone really felt alive since the apocalypse broke out? In this, there was only one thing missing, but that special someone he fucked out of his mind when paying a wife of his a visit every now and then. It never lived up to the real deal, but it satisfied just enough to allow him to move on.
It had been three days in that darn tree, and the dead had yet to back down if anything more had been added to the herd. You were dehydrated and starving, and you were certain the aching feel in your stomach, was that of it eating away on itself. The days you had spent sharpening the end of branches with your rusty knife, hating yourself for not noticing you had dropped your sword on the ground before climbing up to where you might as well be spending your final moments. At least, the sunset from up in the tree was absolutely stunning. The spears you made, you used to drop on the dead, hoping to impale them but alas, your aim was no good and you slumped back against the tree, exhaling and letting out a cry.
A day more passed of awaiting your death, before something else caught the attention of the walkers. At first, you thought your mind to play tricks on you, and you remained unbothered in the tree for some while, before turning your head to see the shiny armor of a grey Škoda. Shots were fired, taking out several of the confused monsters, the sounds of the gun echoing through the woods, bouncing off of the trees.
Your face lifted at once, and the gloomy expression it had held onto for days suddenly slid off. You did not think to hide away, believing nothing could be worse than your current situation, and so you propped yourself on your feet, feeling your pulse rise.
“C’mon down! More will come soon!” hurried a man with long, greasy hair clinging to his face, waving his hand.
By merely standing on your feet, you could tell you were too weak to climb down safely, knowing your muscles would fail you as you felt fragile as a teacup.
“I–I don’t think I can,” you admitted, already feeling yourself to be a burden to this unknown man. Another appeared from the car, sitting out the window and held onto the roof of the car.
They exchanged few words and their eyes returned to you, probably taking a vote whether they should leave you.
The man who had taken down the threat, then turned to the car and you then felt yourself about to beg the, not to leave, when he shrugged off his jacket, and he put away his shotgun.
“I’ll come up–just. . . just stay put,” he called out and your ragged breath let go of a sigh of relief.
Shaking off his jacket, muscles, and tattooed skin was revealed and he took in the tree, figuring the best way to take this task on. You managed to get down a couple of levels, hoping to make his job easier, but your meager figure failed you and a gasp left you just before your foot slipped, sending you plummeting down.
The man whose skin was covered in ink, thought fast and jumped down five feet or so and landed on the ground, his arms ready to catch your small frame. Landing close to perfect in his outstretched arms, you looked up at him, too stunned to realize what had just happened.
“Thank you,” stuttered you, your eyes wide and jaw on the ground, amongst the corpses.
“Yeah,” was all the man had to say in response, putting you down on the ground.
He marched over the dead and got back to the car, throwing his gun around to his back, and he crossed his arms, wary eyes fixated on you as you stood awkward in the middle of the herd.
“Are you alright?” asked the thinner man, his accent shining through, revealing his ancestry. You guessed Italian, but you really never had been good with accents.
Nodding in confirmation, you stumbled out of the mass and closer to the two, finding and pickng up your sword on the way. You saw no one else hiding behind the dark windows in the car and one of them spoke up.
“We should get going, the noise will attract more walkers,” said the man with the tattoos and the thin man looked to him, biting down on his chapped lip.
“Are you long from your people? Can we drive you somewhere?”
The two men you later learned to identify as Duncan and Angelo took you out of the woods to the displeasure of Duncan, the man covered in ink. Sharin summaries of stories, you learned the two were out scavenging herbs for their tribe’s doctor when they had heard the moaning herd, which was when they learned of your whereabouts.
They were skeptical when it came to you, contemplating what had made your camp allow a woman to go out on her own. In their optic, this was unheard of and it made you look sullen.
Upon returning to your camp you thanked the strangers one last time, and with a huff of Duncan and smiley grimace of Angelo, the drove off, returning to their own people and you to yours, only as you tread the path up to camp, your people were not there awaiting you.
An act of evil had torn you and your husband apart, making you fall to your knees right there in the middle of the mess left, a strong belief they were faces you would never again cross. This would set off a wave of anger deep within you it led to an expedition, mind set to find your friends in hopes that they had not all undergone a certain fate.
Little did you know evil was an old friend.

Straight from the can or from a wine glass.

half between side and stomach, top leg bent, the other straight, one arm under pillow and supporting head, the other with the hand loosely covering my mouth and nose

I was weirdly obsessed with cats. Like, I read everything I could get my hands on about them. I hated non-fiction books, but if it was about cats suddenly i didnt mind it
that obsession never actually stopped oof
23. strange habits?
I stick my tongue when im concentrating, as i mentioned earlier
ok but another, i guess, is that i always have to have my mouth and tongue occupied, be it by talking to myself, singing, or chewing on some random thing (mostly the wire from my headphones oops) and if i dont have something to do with my mouth i get really anxious and restless and also my brain completely stops lol
30.places that you find sacred?
......no where, im pretty sure. No specific places have much value to me.
31.what outfit do you wear to kick ass and take names?

Animorphs notes 7.5 or Megamorphs 1
Book 7.5/ Megamorphs 1
Why does this format of an animorph book exist? Aren’t we supposed to be under the impression that the kids are writting diaries or someshit like that?
Starts with Jake
Again, not seperating the yeerks from their hosts is a very bad mentality to have
Also aparently Ax doesn’t get to be an animorph
ALso Ax skipps out on a lot of meetings. Granted the kids could show some consideration for Ax and meet in the woods
Rachel is going on a two day gymnastics trip
Tobias is an asshole and continues to over anthropomorphise animals. I havent forgoten him sneaking into Cassie’s family’s barn to eat the patients
...Cassie teh crow can and will go where ever it pleases after it recovers. Heck it might hunt Tobias down and mob him out of spite
Melissa’s going on the trip
Wow Jake, rude. Tobias can have romantic relationships even if his body remains a bird
Marco’s the kinda jerk to crash parties he wasnt invited to
Full moon
Cassie is psychic. WHich honestly I don’t doubt.
Rachel part
Are they… all going to give intros?
Not that Jake is without his own level of stupidity. I mean, he was right there with us,
walking through an isolated, abandoned construction site that night. Wasn't the smartest
thing we ever did.
I’ve not forgotten the flea thing from book 2
Rachel gets books for Tobias
...damnit Rachel you can’t just show up at a camp without letting peolple know ahead of time. They need warning gto make sure they have room and food for you
I was close to Tobias's territory when I spotted something interesting below me. It was a
deer-like animal, running swiftly through the trees. When I focused my laser-intensity eagle
sight, I could see the semihuman torso and face and the deadly scorpion tail.
Aximili
ANd this is why large predatory bird morphs aren’t great. Rachel getting mobbed
A bunch of small birds take down Rachel
Marco part
Honestly Marco sounds like some of the jackass class clowns I had in school, Darlene’s not wrong to not invite him
The kids ARE all going to give the intro talk
Marco that is a very confusing way to talk
Ax is right, this is dishonorable
That poor mouse
Ax has parasites. ANd Marco is extorting? him to help him be a creep b4 he’d give Ax medicine for them. Dick
Technically speaking none of the kids actually knows how the morphing tech works
When I was done acquiring the mouse I handed it to Ax. He had to use both hands to hold
on. Andalite arms and hands are kind of puny. Of course, they also have four legs, and
those are pretty strong. I mean, Ax can haul when he wants to. I'll bet he could do forty
miles an hour.
Baby arms
So the reason Marco wasn’t invited IS b/c he’s a dick
A bunch of jays took out Rachel
Part Jake? What?
That whent jake> rachel>marco>jake? Bullshit
You don’t have to go to a party if you don’t want to people
Why couldn’t this part be narrated by Cassie? She’s fucking here!
Jake is fucking ready, fight or flight
Marco and Ax are very lucky none of the kids or adults at the party try to crush them to death
Huh, Marco and Ax are lucky that none manages to crush them to death
Jake is ready to cuss the shit outta Marco
Accidental human pileup saves Jake’s life
Part… Marco? BULSTIT SHILSHSTSOSHS
AX IS RIGHT THERER LET HIM NARRATE YOU THINDER CUNTS
I hate this human centric bs and it fucking leaves out Cassie
Marco,,, cats are very good at NOT being seen. Ambush predators
Marco is a dick
Then I saw it. It was gigantic! Enormous! A creature that seemed to be made of nothing but
teeth and blades and destruction. It was like twenty Hork-Bajir glued together and given
dragon wings.
heh
Poor Darlene’s family
It looked down at us with a dozen weird eyes that seemed to be stuck here and there at
random. It stared at us the way I'd seen Tobias stare at his prey.
Part, sigh, Rachel
Rachel has amnesia
Ns somehow started morphing while unconcious
If you wonder if yer a freak and are that startled with yer apperance, then no that’s not always how you were
If you need to concentrate to morph, how’d u managed that far with a heavy concussion/unconciousness?
Part Tobias
Damnit they are all giving the intro speech
Huh, so marco and ax coulda gotten killed twice b4 they even got to the party
Also the fuck how is the yeerks covering the wind monster
Part fucking Rachel
...why is this creature wasting so much energy instead of just flowing around the trees
Like people are seeing this shit
Finally! Part Cassie
Cassie spotted cryptid Rachel in the news
Part Rachel. WHy not just have her narrate the whole book at this point?
There’s an excaped yeerk host living in an abandoned clothing shop in the woods
Well, thaty’s not an unreasonable response for an excaped host
Rachel got some memories beaten back intio her
Oh she might be one of the people who’s yeerk starved from the actions of last book
Part fucking Jake again
The kids are gonna track down Rachel by scent
The monster found them
Part rachel
Old lady is gonna burn down the shack, with Rachel inside, b/c she’s not going back to the yeerk pool
Rachel morphs bear without concentrating or intending to or even knowing how
These bootleg books are so bad. Part Marco
They’d be dead if the creature turned back to particle form and just reformed around their bodies
Part Rachel. Really this is mostly just Rachel/Jake/Marco as narrators. No attempt at equaly splitting up the plot
I looked at the new creature. It had come to a stop, just a dozen feet away. I peered at it
with my dim bear vision. It had four legs, like a horse or a deer. But it seemed to have a
head and upper body that was almost human. And there was a tail, I was sure of that. The
tail was cocked back like a weapon ready to be fired.
Andalite
Fifteen fucking chapters in and Ax finally gets to narrate
Ax does the intro speech
Ax says he’s not an animorph
Ax doesnt like having to be the space expert
Ax tucks his tail to his back to run fast
Ax is smart enought to know when standing yer ground is a terrible idea
Ax figured out that morphing attracts the beast.
Morphing has a distinct kind of energy signature
Part jake
Andalites have a distinct scent
Ok lots of animals can harm or kill a large bear. This is turning into a raptors are mahjestick thing
Tobias assumes that Ax tried to fight the creature. Tobias doesn’t really know Ax well enough
Part Cassie
Why are they at the mall?
AGain I wouldn’t be surprised if Cassie is supposed to be psychic
You don’t mean Chapman, you mean Iniss 226
Learning about history is useful in figuring out humans and with invasion plans Cassie
Part Ax
… do andalites even have battle axes? They dont have the arms for it
Once, the Hork-Bajir were a decent, peaceful race. Then they were enslaved by the Yeerks.
Hork-Bajir are incredibly dangerous and very powerful. They stand on two legs, balanced
by a tail. Each leg ends in a foot, like an Earth bird of prey. They have two arms. There are curved blades at their knees, at their elbows, at their wrists. Blades similar to my own tail-
blade. Atop their snakelike heads are two more blades, swept forward. And their tails end in long, sharp spikes.
They are not a species you want to start a fight with. Which may be why they were such a
peaceful, even poetic, species. They had no one to fear. Until the Yeerks began to make
them into Controllers.
The series did so much retconing
Again, I like the Parting the Clouds fic so much better. At least there someone tried to figure out how to use the aura power
Veleek is the dust monster, from Saturn
So the andalite bandits being human was a solid yeerk theory
Visser 3 continues to waste good bodies
Visser 3 throew a lot of bodies into getting a veleek pet
Part Cassie
Compund eyes dont work like that
Iniss 226 knows about spy novels and thinks they’re stupid
Iniss 226 is not a dumb yeerk
Also Visser 3 is the worst boss
Part rachel
Rachel is starting to put things together
Part Marco
The kids ar eputting 2 and 2 together
Part rachel
Rachel made it back to civilization
Rachel breaks into a house for food and rest’
Some snitchy bitch called the police
Rachel the elephant says fuck the police
Part jake
The kids steal Cassie’s dad’s truck
Part rachel
The veleek chases elephant Rachel
The veleek cant pick up an elephant
Part marco
Why do they have marco drive?
Also that poor truck
Jack morphs to lure the creature’s attention
Part jake
Why did jake choose tiger for being chased?
Part rachel
Doesnt quite have her memory back but ready to help
Part ax
Ax feels like a failure of a warrior
Suddenly, one wall of my cage shimmered and became transparent. Ramonite is a metal
that can stretch open or be made clear or opaque by molecular realignment.
Nice’
Ax is also racist towards taxxons
Visser 3 is a terrible boss
Part marco
That poor truck
Why choose gorrila for a chase?>
Part rachel
Cassie tries to fill the gaps fotr rachel
Part marco
Part cassie
Cassie chooses squirlle
Bug fighters are stooting at em
Part ax
So bug fighters and shit DO have cameras
Flea ex machina
Ax morphs one of his fleas
… theres no way in hell thast theres no bugs on the andalite homeworld
Thats not what a flea mouth is like
Ax says that andalites have a shit vertical jump
Part marco
The veleek caught him
Ax is on Visser 3
Ax is having a blast fucking up Visser 3’s day
Part ax
And only then, locked together with it, was I able to see it through my weak flea eyes. It
was alive! It was a creature my own size, but with a hundred minuscule wings that beat the
air. It had antennae, but different than any seen on Earth. These antennae were covered in
tiny, upturned bowls. Like the dishes of primitive human radio telescopes. Those were the
structures it used to sense energy sources.
There were no eyes. And no mouth. But two long filaments, like strands of wire, swept
back from the front of the creature. These must be how it fed: by channeling the energy
down the wires.
The Veleek was not one creature. It was billions! It was a swarm of billions of these tiny
creatures. They had evolved into a swarm that could come together and become a
destructive entity of gnashing teeth and slicing blades. But in reality they were separate
insectlike creatures that fed on energy.
Its a swarm of navivorous bugs
Water is the veleek’s weakness
Marco and Ax jump out of the ship
Part rachel
Her memory is mostly back
Hork-bajir have foot long blades on their head, that’s impoalement’
Part marco
Fear speads up thei morphing
Part jake
Jake is grounded
The team apparently whent home without knowing if marco and ax were alive
Part cassie
Cassie is psychic and can probably see the future
Cassie comes up with a plan that only she can do
To make up for almost getting marco killed
Part tobias
So did Cassie not have a whale morph already? DIdn’t marco get one when they’d met the psychic whales?
Or am I thinking of a fanfic?
Part cassie
Cassie is awesome
Cetaceans are just canon psychic
Part tobias
Cassie is a total badass
Part cassie
Rapid fire morphing
Falling whale body slam
Part rachel
So apparently the veleek never evaporates out of the ocean at any point later?
Cassie speaks whale . Cassie is the one chosen by the whales. All hail the whale messiah

As an abuse victim, I have a hard time tolerating Rumbelle lately. It's incredibly toxic and triggering. Rumple had a great redemption arc before A&E decided to retcon his character development. They needed a mischievous, toxic, dark greyish character, but they were so in love with Colin, that they decided Killy is the good hearted, redeemable, love interest their show needs. This is such a bullshit.
I’m sorry you’ve been in the end of abuse. *offers you a hug* I hope you do have a better life now. I can relate with abuse because I’ve lived that too with my own parents and one past relationship, though I must say don’t feel triggered by RumBelle because, as there are many complexities to their relationship, I don’t really see Rumple actively hurting/manipulating Belle to “keep her on his leash,” not the way C$ presents abuse.
Belle has never been submissive; we’ve seen her push back and make her own choices, and proof of that is how she’s been on her own for longer than she’s been with him; she comes when things feel right, but also leaves the moment it doesn’t go as she believes it should— unlike we see with Emma and H00k: Emma endures all his crap and never really puts limits. Still, I insist *I* don’t see Rumple as an abuser; I see him as an abuse victim whose insecurities make him push people away and make him a “difficult man to love” because of them. And he’s also misguided by all the darkness that has surrounded him for hundreds of years, so he’s sort of “wired” for not the best or more “morally rightful” decisions, but like he said: everything he does is always to protect his family.
As of now, do we see him pressuring Belle into coming back with him? No. He doesn’t push her at all; he’s giving her space. It’s actually Belle who approaches him. Does he want to force his son to love him? No. We did see he entertained the idea of cutting Gideon from his fate with the shears, like Fiona did with him- as we just learned -but he chose NOT to do that. Rumple is letting his son and his wife come on their own terms, IF they do come at all. His only life purpose is to protect them from harm. How he does it, well, sometimes it is questionable but really I dont see many of his actions as horrible. The most deceitful in my eyes, and for which I hated the writers beyond words, was to see him lie about the dagger. However, I actually see Emma make far worse choices, endangering not only her family but the whole town, and yet she’s still called a Savior and cheered for it, for “fighting for her love” - being selfish actually? The fuck?!
So, Rumple hasn’t been able to let go of power because he believes without it he won’t be able to protect his family, not because he loves it OVER his family. I don’t know, but if I had a past like his I would act pretty much the same way. I just see how his fear of his family getting hurt is what drives him towards taking morally ambiguous choices. He was cut off from having light magic, so that is also a big motor that keeps him in the dark path.
I dismiss most of the bullshit they write when it comes to Rumple or Regina when it doesn’t make sense, mainly because it is super obvious they do it to prop up Killy Pooh— like how you mention Rumple’s redemption (as well as Regina’s) in “Going Home,” when they sacrificed so they could give their children AND everyone else their best chance. But only to have it fucked up in the next season as it turned into “Once Upon a Hook.”
I understand not everyone can share my same view; we all have different backgrounds and ways of processing the information we are given. Now, I know RB is problematic, but I also can see more underneath the surface… I hope this can in some way help with how you feel about them, having another point of view… Nothing is just black and white. I’m not intending to invalidate your feelings about them, just sharing my own.

Is Introversion a Mental problem?
Is Introversion a Mental problem?
Oh my god, it’s too good to see you again here and if you are new you are most welcome. So you want to know that introversion is a Mental problem or not? If you are seeking this answer that eighter you are an introvert or there is someone who Possesses these kinds of traits. But don’t worry Just read this article about “Is Introversion a Mental problem?” and you are on your way with a Satisfactory answer.
First, I want to tell you that I am an introvert. When I was in 6th standard I feel some kind of shyness but it is not exactly shyness but a difficult scene to interact with humans in my surroundings Even with my friends and with my teachers Who teaches me for at least 12 years. In those 12 years, I was not able to have a good small talk or frank talk with any of my teacher or any of my friends. Actually, if there was a scale to map introversion of a person then form –1 to 10. I am on 7.5 or that’s what I think. In my early age, I find it difficult to be a social machine and then I am started Having stress in my life. Because I have so many questions why I am like this, why I am not like everyone, and then at the age of 17 on my birthday I got a Mobile which is able to surf the Internet and then within 6 months my life changes. When I got a phone I started searching for the symptoms or feeling or moods swings that I have in my daily life and suddenly I got my answer one day. (you are reading-Is Introversion a Mental problem?). “The Introversion” And Now I know how to explain my Shyness. Why I can’t bear so much human interaction, why it is like my mind is talking to me loudly, why I need my own time, why I connect to nature so much, why I always lost in my own thoughts. But now I know everything. But I didn’t stop my research and then I get to know That I am not alone there is at least 25% of the population is like me.
Is Introversion a Mental problem? I am not unique but I am a little different and this is not a curse or a mental problem it is like we are wired like this. Now I accept my introversion and I Make peace with it. But first, I suffer with it for like 17.5 years of my life. Take note of these things that every introvert want to tell you– a). I am quite but I Have so much to tell you. b). I am quiet but I observe and absorb everything. c). I am quiet but I have the loudest mind. d). I am not Angry with anyone. e). I am not rude. f). Yes, I am lonely even with the crowd. g). Yeah, I need some time alone but I don’t hate you. h). No, I don’t hate a good party but I have some limits and I can’t help myself with that. Sorry for that I hope you understand. I). Ya I know sometimes I Won’t answer your phone but it doesn’t mean that I don’t like you or I hate you. J). No, I don’t want to meet new peoples at the party. K). No silence is not awkward for me. l). No I am not anti-social or I am not suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or no I am not Depressed, I am just quiet because I am just busy to think about Tachyons. (Particle which supposes to travel faster than light). M). Yeah, I am fine alone you don’t have to worry it’s just I need some time to process all of my thoughts from that day. N). No, I am no weird I am just wired this way. O). And yes I feel emotions but I can’t show them to you because it makes me feel vulnerable. (Actually, we all are very emotional). These are just 10% things that an introvert want you to understand about them.
Is Introversion a Mental problem? So ya we do not have any mental problems. And we are weird for some people but we kind of like this. (the feeling of talking to your own mind is awesome believe me but sometimes it gets annoying when it gets louder). So do you get what you are looking for please let me know in the comment section below? Every third day I publish a mind blasting article so subscribe to our email list and a blast.

None
37) What is your secret weapon to get someone to like you?
I am very good at reading people, so I lay low for a while and watch. Once I get a good feel for someone I can adjust my personality to fit theirs. It’s why I get along with so many different kinds of people.
38) Where is your best friend?
I have a few. One of them is an entire state away. One of them lives 5 minutes from me, the other two live about 20-25 minutes from me. At this moment, I don’t know specifically where any of them are.
39) What were you doing last night at 12 AM?
Sleeping
40) Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as a friend?
Yeah, sometimes.
41) You are walking down the street on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal on the side of the street. Your boss has told you if you are late one more time you get fired. What do you do?
Save the dog. I’ll explain it to my boss and if they fire me I can find a new job. I can always find a new job, but that one life is the only one the dog will get. Also, I’m just a big softy.
42) You are at the doctor’s office and she has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. a) Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? b) What do you do with your remaining days? c) Would you be afraid?
(a) I don’t think I would tell anyone, at least not immediately. I wouldn’t want to be treated like I’m dying during my last days. I suppose I could tell a few very close people though, I just don’t want to be smothered.
(b) I would drop all the unnecessary responsibilities I have and start doing things that I want to do, but subtly. Still don’t want to be treated like I’m dying.
© I don’t know if I would be afraid. I like to think I wouldn’t, I might just be more sad than afraid. Sad to think about my friends and family having to live without me, sad I won’t get to do half the things I always dreamed of doing.
43) What’s a song that always makes you happy when you hear it?
“Brother” - NEEDTOBREATHE ft. Gavin DeGraw
&
“Simple Man” - Cover by Jensen Ackles
44) In your opinion, what makes a great relationship?
A great romantic relationship should consist of communication, understanding, and honesty. Boundaries should be respected, you should always admit when you are wrong and never leave the house or go to sleep mad at each other. The mindset should be best friends before lovers. You should always want what is best for your partner, but always remember to care for yourself too.
45) How can I win your heart?
It’s pretty easy. If you can make me laugh, but also take part in a deep, soul-searching conversation we’re practically married.
46) Can insanity bring on more creativity?
Absolutely
47) What is the single best decision you have made in your life so far?
The single best decision I’ve made in my life so far was learning to take care of me first.
48) What would you want to be written on your tombstone?
“Don’t worry bitches, I’ll be back.” Probably not that, but I think it would be funny. Maybe something more like “Here lies: Your mom…. lol jk it’s just me, [insert full name]”
49) Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “heart.”
All that came to mind was Sam Winchester. *shrug*
50) Basic question; what’s your favorite color/colors?
Green
51) What is your current desktop picture?
A sea turtle
52) If you could press a button and make anyone in the world instantaneously explode, who would it be?
I’d say probably this kid named Billy who goes to my church. If you met him you would know why.
53) What would be a question you’d be afraid to tell the truth on?
Oh god, okay well a lot of the time I would be afraid to tell the truth when people ask me if I’m okay. lol but don’t go asking me if I’m okay or anything after you read this cause that’s not cool.
54) You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what’s even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What is that power?
Oh, hell yeah, I would totally want super strength or laser eyes.
55) You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, though. What half-hour of your past would you like to experience again?
I think I would relive the half-hour chunk of time from my 5th birthday party when me and my best friend at the time were outside in the cold November fog riding a miniature pony. There were other kids there, but only her and I were excited about it and I would honestly give anything to go back a relive that innocent bliss.
56) You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be?
I think I would erase having to lose my horse just March of this year.
57) You have the opportunity to sleep with the music-celebrity of your choice. Who would it be?
I would probably sleep with Demi Lovato or Sabrina Carpenter. This is kind of a hard question because usually I only know singers for their music, not their looks or anything.
58) You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go?
Obviously, I’d go to see my soulmate. Although, I would have to be strategic about this. I think i would drive to go get her and then buy her ticket (bc mine’s free) and we’d go see mom. ( @assbutt-still-in-hell )
59) Ever been on a plane?
No, I don’t really want to, but I probably will at some point.
60) Give me your top 5 hottest celebrities.
1. Jared Padalecki
2. Jensen Ackles
3. Misha Collins
4. Gal Gadot
5. Ian Somerhalder (and Genevieve Padalecki, why tf do I only get 5????)
What can I say except you’re WELCOME! Thanks for the questions, they only took me an hour and half to do lol.

NDRV3, loooooong post, liveblogging end of chapter 5 part 1, lots of very big spoilers, etc etc, you know the drill
“so yeah i went there to kill ouma but i guess momota had the same idea. we all just really hate ouma”
no comment, i just really like these CGs so im compilating em here
MOMOTA WHAT FUCK. im gonna guess him and ouma were in some kinda cahoots
the GIANT toilet smack in the middle of this pic is kinda killing the tension. and also maki’s head poking thru the window
shit where was she keeping that
haha saihara’s calling ouma (or “ouma”) out on trying to pull a chapter 5 komaeda (edit: i forgot what i meant by this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
oh holy shit they make you vote without knowing who it is? that’s new!
...oh so the vote doesn’t count? aw
well, if monokuma doesn’t know either, im guessing this is not a computer simulation like in SDR2. well, we already know it wasn’t, but...
i thought ouma not being the mastermind was pretty fucking obvious but i guess in-universe it isn’t
“wait, ouma LIED?!” holy shit guys it’s been 5 chapters and ouma’s introduction was literally “HI I’M A LIAR”
i love how fuckin pissed yumeno is this trial, shes just yelling her way thru it
kodaka i will fight you
im not following the train of thought of these characters. i guess it’s one of those things about listening to the game being translated aloud
they make you play the minesweeper minigame twice in a row? omfg
yeah i guessed that was the trick used for filming it. still is kinda weird how after the pause the press just seems to... slam down?
=(
maki said shes the culprit what. oh she doesn’t wanna accept it
the fuck you looking at. keep scrolling
CLIMAX INFERENCE TIME YEAHHH prepare for incoming pic spam
a sneaky girl...
GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT HARUMAKI
i find it funny how saihara describes momota and ouma having an “altercation” (well, that’s how jess translated it) and the picture looks like this
"whatcha gonna do, shoot me?” -ouma’s last words
1. the fuck’s wrong with his hand 2. is he blushing
“GOT YOUR NOSE!”
“ >:c ”
im assuming hes weak because of the poison? ..... =(
god this is... a really sad panel
ugh he looks like he’s in so much pain, jesus
i dont understand how the electrobomb disabled the safety feature but not the press itself. well i guess im not a mechanic
yeah momota i dont understand why he took his shirt off either
(maybe they knew that if the others managed to look into the press they’d recognize the jacket/scarf...? but momota made sure to cut the press’s wires. i mean, i guess they could’ve used some kinda leverage force to open the press(???) and ouma decided that better safe than sorry)
(i mean dont get me wrong the #1 reason is fanservice but after every single female character getting lots of creepy fanservice for no good reason (especially iruma) at this point it’s ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) (still a better reason than “stripping to my underwear would make gonta go away”)
i’m sad =( (im actually keeping most of my “ouma is making me sad” reactions in chats with friends) (but i’m very sad) (i’m gonna be thinking about this panel and the one where he’s being dragged a lot)
god this is like. the most (physically) horrible death in danganronpa. well, victim death, the executions are another ballpark. well, i guess being drowned wasn’t so fun for Hoshi either
ugh momota had to stand there and FILM IT
what a weird angle. i understand he’s sitting down on the exisal but
also check out saihara’s suddenly big meaty hand
aaaaaaalright and that’s the end of the climax inference, im guessing after this there’ll be some talking, voting time and then i’m guessing explanations. more detailed thoughts once explanations happen, hopefully. pshooo

today I haven’t done anything. I’ve been down, anxious and lazy.
I want to get high with friends and do sesh things.
I want to draw in my notebook which got lost along with my drawing pens
and some other stuff
I left my bag in a taxi
I left basically all my convenient shit in that bag, chargers, some meds, my ps4 controller, more usb wires, more usb shit but its all really niche convenient techy shit
it isnt that niche but for “””””techies””””” and travelers alike (me) its really convenient
usb type c and micro usb chargers, otg cables, plug heads, usb 3.0 card readers which btw i can plug into my otg cable transferring torrented shit from my phone to a usb wherever i am
a tiny amount of oxy and codeine, 2 weeks worth of medicine roughly, plus some 5htp vitamins
hella baggies just because
probably makes the prescription medicine in there look suspicious
my beanie
and a small sketchbook, pocket sized
I’ve had it since the start of 2017.
I’ve been developing my very own abstract drawing style in that book for over a year.
Nothing valuable was lost. Luckily my camera&lens worth around a grand wasn’t in there
but its just all my convenient stuff
and what sucks most is losing that sketchbook
and as ive been home alone today
ive wanted all the shit in that bag
i can get over the stuff in there
but I want my sketchbook back
it has my address in there, my name, probably some contact details
I really hope they send it there. Even if they keep the other shit.
I may have left the bag in a taxi though. Usually I’d walk to the taxi place, then walk back. It’s like 2.5 miles in total which is a good thing for me because I like the walk
gets me outside,etc
but uh im anxious
honestly most likely because I fapped
I fap like once every one or two weeks. Nofap is no lie. I feel like shit the next few days afterwards
and uhhh
my neighbour moved out, which leaves his girlfriend in the apartment next door... if shes even his gf anymore???? i have no idea but theyre both moving apparently
well yeah i spoke to her boyfriend a lot, got on with him
but i barely know her
and i have no key to the front door of my apartment building, long frustrating story lol
lost my keys
i keep going to the same key cutter because i have no cash and they do free fixes when their own keys fuck up
they made one key cut work, my apartments, but the one to the front door doesn’t work
i dont want to ask her to open the front door, i dont want to knock on her door, its just
the word here is awkward but everything is awkward thats not really a reason
im just irrationally anxious. I feel like she doesn’t like me. There’s many reasons for her not to but also reasons for her to.
Either way I don’t want to annoy her
and it would just be awkward if she heard me try to open the door, then its locked and she hears that from her apartment
then she hears me go back up the stairs and not knock on her door
then that leaves us both in an awkward place
do i knock on her door, knowing there’s a 50/50 chance she heard my attempt to leave my own apartment building
then do that shit
or do i go back into my flat, knowing she probably heard me avoid her
she can put two and two together
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
then she may even knock on herself
with her nice smile which is actually pretty welcoming tbh
well tomorrow
yeah tomorrow i think oh well ill find out
im getting more medicine which i ordered since i ran out and lost mine
one that im able to live without for a week no problem, havent had it for a few days
im supposed to get a blood test every month on this medicine but its been 3 months
lets hope im aight
and uhhh
i need some kick out of this slump
i just keep lazing around
like i have so much i can be doing
like studying, making things for my pages
just hella shit which isnt even that laborious
like i make memes
thats my main thing
i have hella pages
its fun to make them
i draw too
thats also one of my main things on the down low
but i keep putting it off
i play rythym games
analyze music
can be boring sometime but im under no pressure to do that
i make videos with my friend
god yeah i should do that
like my studying isnt that hard
i dont have to clean toilets every day
man i just
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i want to get high on oxy and codeine for 2 weeks
but theres just a few a lot of problems with that:
money for one
thats 2 weeks out of my life
withdrawal from friends, having to hide that im back on the horse
then choosing between lying and telling the truth every time afterwards about the 2 weeks
then it wouldnt be as simple as just stopping would it?
maybe it would, sometimes i do just stop like its nothing
and what do i gain
but you know what
oxy might give me that kick
i just dont know the prices on the deepweb or how to use the deepweb
plus i dont have the money
but yeah i guess i feel like being withdrawn for 2 weeks
wouldnt mind doing some light opiates and reading homestuck
plus drawing
then maybe cramming physics and maths work into literally every hour for a few days
im apparently having some xanax sent over by a friend
im having my doubts about that. it still hasnt arrived and he has reasons to not send them but still make me pay
this is my tumblr and nobody is fucking reading so yeah
but still drugs are mentioned, this is public and liable
id mention him but im just gonna say its the serious boyfriend of someone who got close to me
it fucked with him when it happened. idk how he feels about it now but hes polite to me
it could just be a polite front though, idk how he really feels
i actually really fucking admire the dude
a lot
everything ive learned about him, from him and our mutual person has just been fucking exceptional
and thats on my mind every time she advanced on me
every time i invited it
every time i chose not to say no
hes a really great dude like i just
he could have beat me up that one time but he understood
he understood pretty much all times i think
and he opened up to me
whether he sees it that way or not, i see it that way
id love to be his friend. maybe i will be even though this shit is in the air
but i think he may just be being polite, he probably hates me
but yeah
i like the dude
i dont want to fuck around with something that matters so much to him
when i honestly dont want to bother with her
shes admirably smart, very much so, but just not really the kinda person i want to spend more than an evening with
and i only want to be around her when she isnt drunk and in a good mood
shes so volatile i cant be doing with that
but thats why i commend him even more
hes stayed with her through it all and hes such a great person, in my eyes, to be in her life
and if hes gonna try to get cash from me this way then that sucks
like id probably just pay him if he asked considering how much hes forked out
but nah hes gotta deceive me
i dont even wanna get into benzos, as nice as it is a few hours in,
i just dont like this memory fog
i dont remember any of it
and the withdrawal seems fucking SCARY
plus tolerance and the fun wearing off when u get hooked
why couldnt he just sell me oxy lol
............. i may ask him
if i was doing oxy id probably actually get the fuck up
do the shit i wanna do
but yeah fuck that
thats basicslly all im saying
im getting anxious, low and unmotivated again
id call it dysthymia

hi hello
well, ive started my new online school! finally.
i am also typing this on my brand new macbook which i saved up for so it feels good to have something new you know.
i have my surgrey next week. today mum pointed out my weight loss which makes me want to go harder but i need to be healthy according to mum for my surgrey. so i guess thats what i need to do. im still going to only eat dinner everyday and have vitamin c along with my iron pills.
i will have a snack during the day to help the day before my surgrey since im not sure if i can eat meals the day of my surgrey.
my anxiety is getting bad. my depression is getting bad. i had a online therapy and i really just want help but i dont want them to tell my parents because honestly thats the last thing i want. i want to keep my mental health journey to myself as of right now. i dont need to tell my friends everything.
all i want to do is delete every bit of social media, re do my bedroom, start something new, workout everyday, have a good sleep schedule, not procastante every fucking thing i do, maintain a routine, read books and invest in me. its hard. i want to love myself so bad but its always negativity. i feel constantly empty and not motivated to do anything at all. its fucking annoying and i just want to focus on me. i want to have a group of friends where i know i will be included and feel welcomed and have that undenying love for me.
recently my manifestations have been coming true so i guess this means i need to manifest some more things? i guess to add on.
i literally spent alot of money on new clothes but im going to feel so confident once i am able to wear them and actually look at myself and feel secure. im going to work hard for my body. im so exhausted today but tomorrow i want to try the 12, 3, 30 workout on the treadmill and then if i have any extra energy i will do a dance workout. burn the extra calories. feel confident. secure.
i seriously need a hug, not from my parents, siblings or family members. i need a genuine *i am happy to see you and i missed you* hug. like not a quick little 2 second hug i want a good 10 second hug where we appreciate eachother for a moment and just absorb the warmth of another person.
i honestly just need some company. the weeks of quarantine has drawn me away from so many people. idk what im going to do when i get out of quarantine, but hey its a chance idk. i hope we get to stay in level three for another week honestly, it gives me time to heal and be more sure to go out, cause i know im going to be in bed for awhile and i wont be able to go out and about and stuff. i read that im not allowed to wear a underwire bra after my breast reduction so i guess im going to be in bralettes which shouldnt be too bad.
i want genuine friendships like yeah i have friends but sending face photos bac and fourth for days or even weeks maybe even months isnt exactly getting close or anything else in that perspective.
im going to be in bed alot after my surgrey so im def gonna be on bed rest for around a week i think and then i can start going out after around two weeks. i think i need to buy some wire free bras.
i dont think mum and dad can afford my surgery, they told me they could but then mum said theres alot of debt. so awesome making me feel shit for getting something thats been in the works for over a year and a half. apeareatice it.
im really living in the past right now and i honestly just need to move forward with my life. i dont think there will be really any hosts during the week once quarantine is finished because we may go back to school and go back to our normal lives, but yeah i dont know. ill get to see people in the weekend i guess.
i miss having guy friends, like a friendship where we are just friends. nothing more. like all my guy mates are taken and only care about their girlfriends so they push you away until they need something or when she goes to sleep. like come on.
my mind is so over all of this. when coming out of quarantine i want to fully embrace alot about life, i want to take care of myself, work on my mental health and move forward with myself. this is the year where i want to feel mentally stable. i hate opening up to my parents. i fucking hate it.
because they treat me differently the moment i say something which makes me angry.

Car insurance issue(s). Please share your experience and help if you can. Thanks?
My car caught on fire due to some electrical wiring, im fully comp, and have never claimed before. But sneaky as they are, they have told me that they do not cover electrical wiring faults, which has caused the fire. But the AA who towed my car in has catergorised it as fire damage. Surely they must cover the fire damage. I took it to a repair centre near me, and have asked them to have a quick check, and they also say its fire damage and what not, this has been procrastinated for so long by the insurance company, (claims company rather) that i can't remember what the repair centre has stated. Surely, fully comp covers something like this? THEIR engineers have said that there was no further damage to the rest of the car, but can i trust THEIR engineers? A full check up costs a lot, as they would have to take apart the car ( i believe? ) When i rang up the lady at the claims centre, she had no idea what case i was on, she literally said 'give me a moment to read up on your case' for me, thats a bit pathetic. While speaking on the phone with her not only was she rude, almost shouting at me (as i pressed on further ) . She told me she would send the company policy booklet to show that electrical wiring is not covered, and a letter stating the case was closed and in detail what the whole case is about. A week and a half has gone by (she said couple of days) This is the most annoying thing. She was rude, unhelpful, unwilling to help, and just taking the pee with the whole thing. I just find it sketchy that the letter has not been made, and no further actions or anything has happened (i have also opened another case about another incident - no info .. still) . I think they are just hoping i'd give this up as they are so unwilling to pay out. This is the reason I have insurance. Whats the point otherwise? Sorry for the long read. I have no idea what to do now, can i take it to a small claims court or talk to someone in the city council to further my case? Thanks""

""If someone wrecks my car and I have full coverage, would that person have to claim on their insurance also?""
Today I went about an hour away to purchase a second car. On the drive back it began snowing and the roads got very bad. I was driving my old car and a friend was driving the new one. He was in front of me, the car he drove hit a patch of ice and slid into the curb, I tried to stop but when I hit the brakes my car slid too and ran into the back of the one he drove. I have full coverage on my old, and minimum coverage on the new one. If I claim this on my insurance to cover damage, will he have to claim it on his too, or would mine cover it completly?

Should I tell my insurance company that my car was broken into?

Is This Right? (Retinal Detachment/Cataract/Lens/Insur... Question)?
Let me make a very long story short and get right to the questions. I have moved across the United States by myself at the age of 20 with no insurance covered by my parents, nor will they ever if they could. I had a retinal detachment in my left eye. Paid out of pocket for an eye doctor appointment, he freaked out and told me to go straight to the emergency room for emergency surgery since my entire retina was detached. After my surgery, half unconscious too, a social worker got assigned to me because I was under 21 and legally dependent on the state. So the state paid for my surgery. I had a 2nd one too because the first failed. During my 2nd surgery I had cataracts in my eye so they removed the natural lens. And they never replaced the natural lens since they feared the retina may detach again like the first time. But it stay together and I turned 21. So therefore, legally independent by the state. My check up appointment was after my birthday which the front desk of the eye section declared I must pay $80 for every check up visit, which they wanted me to come in every other week. And if I did not pay, I could not go in. Due to my 6 months of surgeries and recover time I had no money, and was not working. I live with my in-laws, and they were taking care of me, but they are certainly not going to pay my medical bills. So here I am now, age 22 and I have been working for about a year. My job does not offer health insurance until you worked for a year, and even then, there is a certain month you can sign up. I have been walking around for over a year without a natural lens, or ANY lens in my left eye. This is in no way like being blind. My doctor had told me that if I got my license and drove, if ever in an accident, I would get in serious trouble because you are not supposed to drive this way. Not that I do, I cannot see correctly so it is wicked dangerous. Having no lens in one eyes messes with your other eye. Hard to explain unless you have literally had this situation before. Sunlight glares into my bad eye, then into my good eye. Same with darkness or bright lights in general. I am actually very blind at night because of this. This is literally ruining my life. I have no money to pay for insurance, or the surgery which can be easily be 10,000 dollars. Is this legal for a county hospital to do? I have never heard of anyone in my situation. Even the thousands of times I have googled and searched. Never heard of anyone in my shoes. What are my rights here? Is there some way I can fight this? Where is my justice? This is holding me back so badly in life. Please someone with real help and not a crappy site they copy and pasted, help! I need some real human help!!""

Stopa Auction League: Navigating 14 teams, Superflex format
Tom Brady takes on extra value in a two-quarterback league (AP)
The Stopa Law Firm is a different kind of fantasy football expert league.
It’s a big-money league (thanks to Mark Stopa, benefactor) and it’s a league about jumbo starting spots (super flex — which strongly encourages two starting quarterbacks — two tight ends, another flex spot) and limited bench space. A modified PPR scoring format is used.
And oh yeah, it’s an auction. And it’s a party that goes down in Las Vegas in mid-July. We can’t post all the photos here, someone would get divorced or arrested.
The challenge is steeper this year, with noted experts Scott Jenstad and Vlad Sedler jumping in, bringing us to 14 teams. We also welcomed back Michael Salfino after a one-year absence.
I asked the league members to comment about their strategy, the auction, or anything they wanted. Here’s what they had to say. Your full auction results are viewable here.
(Keep in mind teams were not required to fill out their starting roster on draft day; several teams passed on defense and kicker).

Peter Schoenke
Most “experts” don’t want to admit when the screwed up an auction, but I did on this one. Not so much on the players. I got some decent values (Blount $10, Moncrief $11) and don’t hate my team. However, I wanted to spend at WR and QB, but early in the draft I priced enforced on Zeke Elliott and got “stuck” on him at $48. That’s likely $5 less than he’d typically go for but people were sitting on their hands early in the auction. However, it sent me down a path that I don’t think fared as well for me, similar to how when you take a RB in the first round of an auction.
I’m a WR-first guy. I stubbornly decided to still pay for WR and likely overpaid for T.Y. Hilton and Jordy Nelson, but I decided I wanted some high-floor players since we’re drafting so early and about half your roster is going to be picked up in free agency with this league’s thin benches. Those choices had me chasing for QBs and I never was able to pull the trigger on the $15 – $20 QB I desperately needed. As a result, that left me with Alex Smith as my superflex and Jared Goff as my backup QB. There’s a hint of floor and upside in that duo, but not exactly what I had in mind in a 14-team league.
Mark Stopa
In a deep format like this, everyone will have weak spots.. Given how RBs, WRs, and TEs emerge from nowhere each year, I’d rather be weaker at those positions than QB, and I auctioned accordingly.. There’s simply no chance any QB outside the top 20 is going to be someone you want to use each week, and many owners doing so are wasting a valuable bench spot on a third crummy QB to make up for the crummy one in their superflex.
As for the rest … Rawls and Richard are great ways to fade Lacy and Lynch, two guys I won’t be owning in 2017 seasonal.. I like my cheap Pats guys (Lewis, Hogan, Mitchell) because if injuries strike (Cooks, Edelman), they’ll be gold.. Remember, the earlier in 2017 your draft/auction occurs, the more upside on bench matters, as preseason injuries will happen.. Bills D gets the Jets at home Week 1; picking on NYJ will be an ideal way to stream defenses this year.
Kevin Payne
I got a starting lineup with the majority of my money and then went $1 for every bench spot. Didn’t draft a kicker or defense. Drank a lot of vodka. I’d recommend this for all.
Kirk Cousins, face of the Salfino franchise (AP)
Michael Salfino
The story of the draft was that QBs went for too little in this format and WRs went for too much. So I’m thrilled to land Drew Brees ($37) and Brees Jr., Kirk Cousins. The endgame worked for me because I got some really good WR values by my rankings: Britt, Matthews, Thielen, Cobb for a combined 9% of my budget. Britt for $3 thrilled me even though I want to avoid paying for players on teams that are likely to have major QB problems. The thing is, I think Cody Kessler is pretty good — if only I believed the Browns did, too.
I wish I said $53 for David Johnson instead of later having to say $54 for Le’Veon Bell. I have to worry a little about a holdout and Bell is a greater injury risk given their respective histories. My other regret is not saying $4 for Kareem Hunt, who has a David Johnson 2015 vibe.
Scott Jenstad
We came in with a plan for 2 of the top 22 QB (that is where we set our cut off) but not one of the top 3-4, one stud RB and then to play with the depth at WR and attack the mid-range WR after people had spent money on the top WR. I regret $29 total on CJ Anderson and Ameer Abdullah, although I do like Abdullah, but I think we could have bargain shopped for our 3rd RB slot and used that money to upgrade a bit at WR and TE. However, I absolutely love our late bargain WR and I think Coleman, Wallace, Doctson and Ginn for $6 made our depth and is an absurd group for the prices. I worry about 2nd TE in a 2 TE league as we ended up having to go bottom of the barrel there so that is a spot we will need to work on pretty quickly. I regret letting Jeff land Prescott for only $21, I would love to swap out $20 Tyrod Taylor for $21 Dak.
Andy Behrens
We bumped the league size up to 14 teams this year, which is pretty much the outer limit for a two-TE superflex format. The depth of this league led me to balance my spending across positions. I didn’t want to leave the auction with an unfinished team, knowing I had work to do on the wire. Going in, I’d intended to wait on receivers, the position offering the greatest depth; that approach resulted in decent deals on Garcon, Edelman and Decker.
If you guys want to see a roadmap to despair, check out Liss’ team. A disgrace to the fantasy industry.
Derek Van Riper
My plan going into the auction was to have one elite QB (Rodgers, Brady, Brees) and one elite RB (Bell, Johnson, or Elliott). It fell though, however, as the pricing at the top exceeded my expectations, and at 14 teams, I was slightly less adamant about sticking to a stars-and-scrubs approach. The value at the top of the pool came with the elite receivers, leading me to build around Julio Jones and A.J. Green instead. The most unexpected trend from the auction that makes my team vulnerable is the high cost of the mid-range and low-end quarterbacks thanks to two additional teams in the league, and our use of the Superflex. My hope, however, is that the likes of Carson Palmer and Joe Flacco can be within a couple points per game of the options who were priced up $10-15 higher, and that my strength at WR, TE, and lack of a hole (initially) at running back gives me good balance from week-to-week.
Brad Evans
When tequila happens, you land Mike Glennon, Sam Bradford and Deshaun Watson as your only QBs. Intended at the onset, I purposely ignored the QB and TE positions and instead focused on acquiring high floor RBs/WRs. Though loaded in the latter areas (RBs: McCoy/Gordon/Powell/Perine; WRs: Alshon/Hopkins/Tyreek), it came at a tremendous cost elsewhere. Inevitably, I’ll spin a RB off at some point for a passing upgrade, but my roster-construction experiment could blow up the lab.
Brandon Funston
Overall, I’m happy with the roster I was able to pull together – no glaring positional weaknesses. Miracle of all miracles, I was able to be a patient shopper and not blow my budget in the early-round inflationary period. But maybe I was a tad too patient, as I had $6 to play with at the end when everyone else was pretty much in $1-draft mode. I ended up using that $6 on Jonathan Stewart, but if I think back on how it could have played out better, it would have probably been to pay $8-9 for a tight end like Hunter Henry or Zach Ertz instead of $4 for Julius Thomas and gone with a $1 DeAndre Washington (I have Marshawn Lynch, so it would have made some sense) in the end at RB instead of J-Stew.
(Note: Funston traded Eric Ebron to Pianowski for Corey Davis and Jason Witten, shortly after the draft ended.)
Jeremy Maclin was a July bargain (AP)
Liz Loza
Thank goodness for Grey Goose and Jeremy Maclin. After spending the bulk of my coin on RBs, I needed to snag an undervalued wideout. With over 300 targets up for grabs in Charm City, Maclin is a steal late in drafts… and I got him for just $5!
Dalton Del Don
I entered with a “stars and scrubs” strategy, planning on spending big on quarterbacks and wide receivers. Whether that strategy works (or if I got the right players) remains to be seen, but I certainly executed it. I regret not securing more $1 running back fliers, as I need to get lucky there (my starters are ugly). But this auction took place in mid-July, and RB is by far the most volatile position. I’ll have to be extra aggressive with FAAB at the position.
Chris Liss
Here’s my writeup from Rotowire.
My thoughts are you need to have a decent QB at the QB flex spot. And one who won’t lose his job unless he gets hurt. If I were to do it over again, I’d probably have bought a third instead of Carlos Hyde and punted RB altogether. I’m fairly sure I could trade a $27 QB for a $30-plus back.
I didn’t intend to go big on TE, but you and I were advancing the bid on Gronkowski, who’s worth $40 in this format, and he stopped at $34. I was actually happy to get him even though I probably won’t have him anywhere else.
I went big on Graham because I had some money left, though he was the best player available (again in the two-TE format) and would rather struggle in the end game than leave $ on the table. It cost me a couple Stefon Diggs types, who I could use, but I’m probably better off with Graham.
Scott Pianowski
I agree with most of Peter Schoenke’s comments, up top. I like to go into auctions with a highly agnostic strategy, but this was a league screaming for more urgency at quarterback. Most fantasy players can take that position casually, given the league-wide depth, but that is not the case in a 14-team league where everyone is highly incentivized to play two QBs a week. I should have either gotten three solid starters, or two high-level guys who could land in the Top 10 with a reasonable runout. If we did this auction again tomorrow, I’m sure a bunch of teams would approach the QB position differently.
It’s never a bad idea to make an early overpayment in an auction if it’s something you really want or really need. I should have parked one major QB early, then seen how the market unfolded. Instead, I stuck to my agnostic leanings and probably paid for it.
I do like the rest of my team, but I’m thin at the one position you can’t be thin at. The trade market probably won’t be much; Brad Evans can tell you that. And it’s hard to imagine a lot of QB talent coming into the league, guys we haven’t already drafted.
(Note: After the draft, Pianowski traded Corey Davis and Jason to Witten for Eric Ebron and an open spot, to be filled later).

Peter Schoenke
Most “experts” don’t want to admit when the screwed up an auction, but I did on this one. Not so much on the players. I got some decent values (Blount $10, Moncrief $11) and don’t hate my team. However, I wanted to spend at WR and QB, but early in the draft I priced enforced on Zeke Elliott and got “stuck” on him at $48. That’s likely $5 less than he’d typically go for but people were sitting on their hands early in the auction. However, it sent me down a path that I don’t think fared as well for me, similar to how when you take a RB in the first round of an auction.
I’m a WR-first guy. I stubbornly decided to still pay for WR and likely overpaid for T.Y. Hilton and Jordy Nelson, but I decided I wanted some high-floor players since we’re drafting so early and about half your roster is going to be picked up in free agency with this league’s thin benches. Those choices had me chasing for QBs and I never was able to pull the trigger on the $15 – $20 QB I desperately needed. As a result, that left me with Alex Smith as my superflex and Jared Goff as my backup QB. There’s a hint of floor and upside in that duo, but not exactly what I had in mind in a 14-team league.
Mark Stopa
In a deep format like this, everyone will have weak spots.. Given how RBs, WRs, and TEs emerge from nowhere each year, I’d rather be weaker at those positions than QB, and I auctioned accordingly.. There’s simply no chance any QB outside the top 20 is going to be someone you want to use each week, and many owners doing so are wasting a valuable bench spot on a third crummy QB to make up for the crummy one in their superflex.
As for the rest … Rawls and Richard are great ways to fade Lacy and Lynch, two guys I won’t be owning in 2017 seasonal.. I like my cheap Pats guys (Lewis, Hogan, Mitchell) because if injuries strike (Cooks, Edelman), they’ll be gold.. Remember, the earlier in 2017 your draft/auction occurs, the more upside on bench matters, as preseason injuries will happen.. Bills D gets the Jets at home Week 1; picking on NYJ will be an ideal way to stream defenses this year.
Kevin Payne
I got a starting lineup with the majority of my money and then went $1 for every bench spot. Didn’t draft a kicker or defense. Drank a lot of vodka. I’d recommend this for all.
Michael Salfino
The story of the draft was that QBs went for too little in this format and WRs went for too much. So I’m thrilled to land Drew Brees ($37) and Brees Jr., Kirk Cousins. The endgame worked for me because I got some really good WR values by my rankings: Britt, Matthews, Thielen, Cobb for a combined 9% of my budget. Britt for $3 thrilled me even though I want to avoid paying for players on teams that are likely to have major QB problems. The thing is, I think Cody Kessler is pretty good — if only I believed the Browns did, too.
I wish I said $53 for David Johnson instead of later having to say $54 for Le’Veon Bell. I have to worry a little about a holdout and Bell is a greater injury risk given their respective histories. My other regret is not saying $4 for Kareem Hunt, who has a David Johnson 2015 vibe.
Scott Jenstad
We came in with a plan for 2 of the top 22 QB (that is where we set our cut off) but not one of the top 3-4, one stud RB and then to play with the depth at WR and attack the mid-range WR after people had spent money on the top WR. I regret $29 total on CJ Anderson and Ameer Abdullah, although I do like Abdullah, but I think we could have bargain shopped for our 3rd RB slot and used that money to upgrade a bit at WR and TE. However, I absolutely love our late bargain WR and I think Coleman, Wallace, Doctson and Ginn for $6 made our depth and is an absurd group for the prices. I worry about 2nd TE in a 2 TE league as we ended up having to go bottom of the barrel there so that is a spot we will need to work on pretty quickly. I regret letting Jeff land Prescott for only $21, I would love to swap out $20 Tyrod Taylor for $21 Dak.
Andy Behrens
We bumped the league size up to 14 teams this year, which is pretty much the outer limit for a two-TE superflex format. The depth of this league led me to balance my spending across positions. I didn’t want to leave the auction with an unfinished team, knowing I had work to do on the wire. Going in, I’d intended to wait on receivers, the position offering the greatest depth; that approach resulted in decent deals on Garcon, Edelman and Decker.
If you guys want to see a roadmap to despair, check out Liss’ team. A disgrace to the fantasy industry.
Derek Van Riper
My plan going into the auction was to have one elite QB (Rodgers, Brady, Brees) and one elite RB (Bell, Johnson, or Elliott). It fell though, however, as the pricing at the top exceeded my expectations, and at 14 teams, I was slightly less adamant about sticking to a stars-and-scrubs approach. The value at the top of the pool came with the elite receivers, leading me to build around Julio Jones and A.J. Green instead. The most unexpected trend from the auction that makes my team vulnerable is the high cost of the mid-range and low-end quarterbacks thanks to two additional teams in the league, and our use of the Superflex. My hope, however, is that the likes of Carson Palmer and Joe Flacco can be within a couple points per game of the options who were priced up $10-15 higher, and that my strength at WR, TE, and lack of a hole (initially) at running back gives me good balance from week-to-week.
Brad Evans
When tequila happens, you land Mike Glennon, Sam Bradford and Deshaun Watson as your only QBs. Intended at the onset, I purposely ignored the QB and TE positions and instead focused on acquiring high floor RBs/WRs. Though loaded in the latter areas (RBs: McCoy/Gordon/Powell/Perine; WRs: Alshon/Hopkins/Tyreek), it came at a tremendous cost elsewhere. Inevitably, I’ll spin a RB off at some point for a passing upgrade, but my roster-construction experiment could blow up the lab.
Brandon Funston
Overall, I’m happy with the roster I was able to pull together – no glaring positional weaknesses. Miracle of all miracles, I was able to be a patient shopper and not blow my budget in the early-round inflationary period. But maybe I was a tad too patient, as I had $6 to play with at the end when everyone else was pretty much in $1-draft mode. I ended up using that $6 on Jonathan Stewart, but if I think back on how it could have played out better, it would have probably been to pay $8-9 for a tight end like Hunter Henry or Zach Ertz instead of $4 for Julius Thomas and gone with a $1 DeAndre Washington (I have Marshawn Lynch, so it would have made some sense) in the end at RB instead of J-Stew.
(Note: Funston traded Eric Ebron to Pianowski for Corey Davis and Jason Witten, shortly after the draft ended.)
Liz Loza
Thank goodness for Grey Goose and Jeremy Maclin. After spending the bulk of my coin on RBs, I needed to snag an undervalued wideout. With over 300 targets up for grabs in Charm City, Maclin is a steal late in drafts… and I got him for just $5!
Dalton Del Don
I entered with a “stars and scrubs” strategy, planning on spending big on quarterbacks and wide receivers. Whether that strategy works (or if I got the right players) remains to be seen, but I certainly executed it. I regret not securing more $1 running back fliers, as I need to get lucky there (my starters are ugly). But this auction took place in mid-July, and RB is by far the most volatile position. I’ll have to be extra aggressive with FAAB at the position.
Chris Liss
Here’s my writeup from Rotowire.
My thoughts are you need to have a decent QB at the QBFLEX spot. And one who won’t lose his job unless he gets hurt. If I were to do it over again, I’d probably have bought a third instead of Carlos Hyde and punted RB altogether. I’m fairly sure I could trade a $27 QB for a $30-plus back.
I didn’t intend to go big on TE, but you and I were advancing the bid on Gronkowski, who’s worth $40 in this format, and he stopped at $34. I was actually happy to get him even though I probably won’t have him anywhere else.
I went big on Graham because I had some money left, though he was the best player available (again in the two-TE format) and would rather struggle in the end game than leave $ on the table. It cost me a couple Stefon Diggs types, who I could use, but I’m probably better off with Graham.
Scott Pianowski
I agree with most of Peter Schoenke’s comments, up top. I like to go into auctions with a highly agnostic strategy, but this was a league screaming for more urgency at quarterback. Most fantasy players can take that position casually, given the league-wide depth, but that is not the case in a 14-team league where everyone is highly incentivized to play two QBs a week. I should have either gotten three solid starters, or two high-level guys who could land in the Top 10 with a reasonable runout. If we did this auction again tomorrow, I’m sure a bunch of teams would approach the QB position differently.
It’s never a bad idea to make an early overpayment in an auction if it’s something you really want or really need. I should have parked one major QB early, then seen how the market unfolded. Instead, I stuck to my agnostic leanings and probably paid for it.
I do like the rest of my team, but I’m thin at the one position you can’t be thin at. The trade market probably won’t be much; Brad Evans can tell you that. And it’s hard to imagine a lot of QB talent coming into the league, guys we haven’t already drafted.
(Note: After the draft, Pianowski traded Corey Davis and Jason to Witten for Eric Ebron and an open spot, to be filled later).

Stopa Auction League: Navigating 14 teams, Superflex format
Tom Brady takes on extra value in a two-quarterback league (AP)
The Stopa Law Firm is a different kind of fantasy football expert league.
It’s a big-money league (thanks to Mark Stopa, benefactor) and it’s a league about jumbo starting spots (super flex — which strongly encourages two starting quarterbacks — two tight ends, another flex spot) and limited bench space. A modified PPR scoring format is used.
And oh yeah, it’s an auction. And it’s a party that goes down in Las Vegas in mid-July. We can’t post all the photos here, someone would get divorced or arrested.
The challenge is steeper this year, with noted experts Scott Jenstad and Vlad Sedler jumping in, bringing us to 14 teams. We also welcomed back Michael Salfino after a one-year absence.
I asked the league members to comment about their strategy, the auction, or anything they wanted. Here’s what they had to say. Your full auction results are viewable here.
(Keep in mind teams were not required to fill out their starting roster on draft day; several teams passed on defense and kicker).

Jeremy Maclin was a July bargain (AP)
Liz Loza
Thank goodness for Grey Goose and Jeremy Maclin. After spending the bulk of my coin on RBs, I needed to snag an undervalued wideout. With over 300 targets up for grabs in Charm City, Maclin is a steal late in drafts… and I got him for just $5!
