if you want to know, after the 1st she watched one with Autumn and thought it was entertaining, and she watched " sourcefed is cancelled", which started sp7, and was moved by the ending.
I know that there is contact between their mods and I guess maybe they had the idea to let Janet react to it, but they should have let her react to the sourcefed one or the more iconic ones. Not to a random s3 vid ( the cringiest of all sp7 vids). It even mentioned his ex, his future wedding and someone who was cancelled and they later deleted vids with 😭 It was probably just the mod´s fav vid.
I´m glad chat started saying it was a bad choice and suggested some beter ones so in the end it was a good experience for her.
ooh with more context that’s even worse and such an odd recommendation for a mod to make. i know steve says the mods speak for him and he will generally agree with their choices with how chat is run (and over all i do think they do a great job because chat is pretty nice most of the time) i don’t think he would agree with this decision from a mod. in janet’s stream for example she has a mod who i think runs her tik tok and is very content conscious and steve’s mods are og steve fans so maybe that explains a little.
(i’m glad she liked the vids chat recommended in the end though.)
#i wonder which mod it was because i genuinely can’t see any of them choosing to recommend videos that could be problematic for steve#answered#i’ve heard steve talk about how season 1 sp7 is some of the content he’s most proud of so i’m glad she got to watch some of it

Hello friend!! I have decided to ask something for my daddies favorite characters! If that's okay? I didn't see any rules or anything soooooo
I'mma just go on gut instinct
Maybe some fluffy cuddles with Lucci, Crocodile, Mihawk and Ace? (And anyone else you wanna throw in? Any daddies I missed) Oh and headcanons unless u wanna do scenario? Please and Thank you!!
Hello! Thank you for the request! These scenarios will be in short story form to I hope your okay with! They’re are two extra character I added in there too! I hope you enjoy
Ace: It was early morning sailing along on a winter island. Snow was failing everywhere and it was very cold. Everyone would usually be wearing something warmer, well except Ace.
Ace was walking along the ship until see you noticing how cold you were.
“ are you okay (name)?” He ask being a bit concerned
You look down before looking back up “ Ace do you think we could cuddle since it’s very cold?” You ask the fire man.
Ace was quiet embarrassed that you asked, his face turned bright red not knowing what to say at first but he nods his head walking over to you. He kneels down beside you hugging you tightly in his arms feeling like a heater
“ Thank you ace” you mumble and start to close your eyes. The man was like a living heater and you could peacefully fall asleep in his embrace. Shortly after you did fall asleep to which he smiles
“ Your so cute (name)” he picks you up gently bringing you to your bed so they could cuddle more.
Lucci: it was early morning in enbies lobby but no one could tell due to how it was always sunny night and day and the stars never showed themselves.
You were doing your regular task along the ships feeling sad. You didnt particularly know why you felt that way but you did. You kept a smile on your face to which most people would assume that you were happy except for Lucci. He could sense how you felt at any given moment, have it be due to the Neko neko fruit or just pure instinct. He wouldn’t go right up and ask but he would follow you around a bit till you were both in a secluded area. The man walks up to you having a small hint of worry on his face.
“ Something the matter?” He ask looking down at you
“ I guess I can’t really hide it Huh” you look down at the ground “ Just feeling sad, I don’t know why” you think about it till it hits you “ Maybe because I miss seeing the stars and moon. We don’t get to see it here and it’s just something I miss” you sign before smiling “ But thats okay! I enjoy being here”
Lucci nods and gets an idea “ Meet me by the gate at 7 pm alright?” He waits for your confirmation
“ Of course lucci sir” you say even though you were genuinely confused
Through out the day you felt a bit better but there were times you thought about the stars. All so beautiful in the sky.
In the afternoon lucci goes to speak with spandam “ I have something I have to do later tonight so I’ll be taking the night off” he says while rubbing hattori chin
“ What’s so important?” Spandam complains like a whiney child
“ None of your business” he retorts
“ Probably bringing (name) somewhere” Kaku says to which slightly embarrasses Lucci.
“ None of your business” lucci walks out
7 pm comes and you were standing outside the gate when seeing the man hold something that was like a picnic basket and a train comes around
“ Get on” the man instructs.
You both get on the train and it starts to ride having it be only the two of you. It was quiet but he opens up the Picnic basket to where they’re was a small home made meal along with some snacks before he opens up the window “ Take a look outside”
You mod and look outside, you were out of enbies lobby and you could see the stars. You start to cry at the nice gesture before he sits next to you holding you.
“ You said you were missing the night sky right? I thought I would let you see it again”
“ Thank you so much!”
You both cuddle and eat watching the night sky before you start to get tired.
You yawn and hug the men quietly thanking him before falling asleep.
“ If I could do this more with you I would” he puts his face into the crook of your neck as a shooting star flies by. Maybe the stars would grant that wish.
Mihawk: it was close to midnight, it was a rainy day after the whole sky be pitch black with no stars shining through at all. The whole day Mihawk had been busy running around unable to see you all day. And right as he gets a break he can see the red hair pirate walk in
“ Yo! I’m not interrupting anything am I?” Shanks says with a smile
“ Right as I get a break to. Come inside I guess. (Name) will be happy to see you” Mihawk says seeing shanks also had alcohol with him
“ Great!” Shanks says walking in going to the living room seeing you were wrapping something up
“ What are you up to (name)” shanks ask looking over
You jump looking surprised “ I’ll tell you but you can’t tell Mihawk”
The red hair man smiles “ deal!” He opens up some rum for the both of you
“ I made ( or bought depending on how you choose) this for Mihawk. I’ve been waiting till he wasn’t busy so I can give it to him but he been busy all day” you say holding the scarf in your hands clenching down on the fabric before seeing Mihawk walk in
“ Mihawk I-“
“ Sorry I’ve been quite busy today. Let’s drink alright?” Mihawk says not noticing it we’re holding something
“ y-yeah!” You put the scarf into pocket
A few hours hours and you were already drunk and leaning against the greatest swordsmen getting tired
“ mihawk~” you say looking at the men before hugging him “ love you” you fall asleep closing your eyes
Mihawk looks quite surprised only to see shanks laugh
“ What’s so funny shanks?” The man looks at shanks with his golden eyes like he was staring into his soul
“ She fell asleep before she could show you it” he points to your pocket “ Look in her left pocket”
Mihawk wonders what the hell the other man was talking about but reaches in your pocket and grabs a scarf
“ it’s a scarf”
“ Look at it closely!” Shanks laughs drinking more alcohol
Mihawk observes it and sees his name is engraved into the scarf making his face turn a light hue of red before wrapping it around his neck and hugging you tightly starting to cuddle you.
You smile in your sleep and mumble “ I love you Mihawk” you go back to being quiet
“ I love you too” he mumbles under his breathe before gently picking you up in his arms and starts to carry you to their shared room “ Goodnight shanks” he mentions.
“ Goodnight you lovers!” He laughs seeing how cute Mihawk was being to you
Mihawk sits both of you on the bed and he watches you with his golden eyes. He thought you were the most beautiful women he has ever seen.
“ Goodnight my love” he kisses your forehead and hugs you tighter falling asleep cuddling you the whole night.
Crocodile: it was about 8 Pm in Alabasta. The sun was setting meaning it was starting to get cold. The days were scorching hot and the nights were freezing cold. Crocodile had another busy day but that was usual for the man but usually once he would have seen you walking around to either have tea ( or coffee) or feeding the bananagators. He’s not one to worry much but for you it was different.
“ where could that women be?” He walks and goes to his bedroom to think but he sees you were in his bed not looking too good. Your face has a red hue to it and you had blankets wrapped around you. You looked sick but crocodile was surprised you were in his bed and not your own
“ What are you do-“ he saw that you were asleep and looking visibly in pain and before he could continue to think nico robin appeared
“ She almost passed out near your room Mr.0. I brought her here earlier this morning. She must of been asleep the whole day”
Crocoldile sighs “ Fine. Can you leave us two alone women”
Nico smiles and leaves the two of them alone
Crocodile looking at form seeing you were still shivering despite being under 3 blankets. His face had worry in it before going to the bathroom grabbing a thermometer.
You open your eyes slowly seeing the man walk over to you “ I’m sorry cr-“
“ Don’t talk” he puts the thermometer into your mouth and when hearing the beep he takes it out. You definitely had a fever. He goes to call a doctor but can feel your hand grab on his clothes
“Please cuddle with me” you ask before letting go. You were so tired that you couldn’t even keep your grip on the mans coat
Crocodile wouldn’t admit it but he did find it cute that such a strong women like you would ask for something like that. He would completely deny any one else but he sighs shaking his hand “ Alright” he gets in bed and wraps his coat around you knowing you like his coat before seeing you wrap your arms around his form and closing your eyes once again
“ Thank you crocodile” you fall asleep having your face show the real pain you were in once again.
The man hugs you lightly not wanting to hurt you but let’s put a small smile before frowning “ Your definitely seeing a doctor tomorrow. But for now I will cuddle with you. I love you (name) you are a very strong women and I can’t see you being sick” he goes and turns off the light “ Goodnight (name)” you both sleep the whole night together having crocodile keep your warm the whole night.
Sanji: it was 7 pm, the stars were shining beautifully through the night sky. Everyone had finished dinner but you had decided not to eat. You wanted to watch the stars in the sky and think about the solar system as a whole. They’re were so many theories out there but one that was always on your mind is that the people you missed were a star in the night watching over you to keep you safe. It had been a while since you were on the ship with your crew but you missed the people you love and watching the stars made you feel closer to them. You were so lost in the stars you didn’t even hear Sanji yell your name
“ (name)-chaaaaaannn!!” Sanji rushes over with food that he had saved for you but he sees that you were so intently looking at the stars that you didn’t even notice he was there, to which made him shock
“ (name)-Chan?” He says poking your shoulder to which makes you jump “ Didn’t mean to scare you but you never came to dinner so I saved you some food”
“ O-oh thank you Sanji-Kun” you smile a bit taking the food and give him a hug in thanks before eating quietly and watching the stars
Sanji felt like he could pass out at the women, your hugs were like a hug from the goddess, your smile was brighter then any star in the sky.
He goes and sits down next to you wanting to spend some time together
“ What are you thinking about cutie?” He ask to which your face gets bright red
“ I-I well” it takes you a moment before speaking again “ When I look at the stars it brings me peace. They’re are so many different things people believe in when thinking about the stars. But the first thing that comes to mind for me is the people you love, the people you miss. They are the stars in the night watching over you, protecting you to whoever may harm you. They are the guiding light in the night sky” you take a bit of your food almost chocking when Sanji hugs you close, smelling the strawberry shampoo in your hair “ Are you missing someone right now?” He ask rubbing your hair trying to soothe you
You hum and nod your head “ I love being with everyone here, it’s always a fun new adventure waiting to happen but...” you take a breathe “ I do miss some people in my life. Every day I’m grateful for being here with everyone but I do miss them”
“ It’s okay (name)-Chan. That’s completely normal feeling. Everyones loves you here but I love you more then anyone else on this ship. I’m always here for you” Sanji looks up at the stars
You finish your dinner and lean against the cook giving him a kiss on the cheek “ Can we stay like this for a bit longer? I know you have to clean up but being with you like this... it makes me happy”
“ of course darling, anything for you”
Both you and Sanji spend a long time in each other’s arms watching the stars in the sky and enjoy each other’s company.
Zoro: today had been quite a peaceful day on the ship to which was a very rare occasion but it did sometimes happen. You were able to relax peacefully, everyone doing there own things but all you could here was Zoro grunt when lifting weights. You knew he was lifting inhuman number of weights but he was being very loud today for some reason. You stop whatever your doing and try to walk to him but you start to fall off the ship and before you go overboard Zoro had dropped his weights and grabbed you quickly
“ Z-Zoro...” you look at the man “ T-thank you”
Zoro humans but starts to hug you tighter while putting his face into his shoulder seeing some of his crew mates staring
“ Zoro is something wro-“ before you could continue Zoro quickly lifted you up your feet and carried you both to your bedroom placing you on the bed
“ Zoro what’s going o-“
“ I want to cuddle with you (name)” a light blush forms on his face “ I wanted to all day but I couldn’t get the words out. But seeing you almost fall off the ship it-“
You go and kiss the swordsmen cheek smiling “ It’s okay. I would love to cuddle with you”
He grins and gets in bed with you. He wraps you both in a blanket before hugging you tightly. One big arm wraps around your body while the other plays with your hair. He loved you so much, toot smile, your laugh, the way you shine in the sun, the way you could make his day with a snap of the finger. Zoro would never have thought of falling in love but with you, it was a whole new feeling, one he would never want to stop.”
“ I love you (name)”
“ I love you too Zoro. Thank you for cuddling with me”
He hums and the rest of the day you both cuddle and talk having it be a peaceful but very nice day, to which you both will hold dearly in your hearts
Im sorry if there are any grammar mistakes as I didn’t check before hand due to it being my birthday and I wanted to get this out as quick as possible! Again I hope you enjoy!

The Winter Solstice Celebration
Some may have learned to fear the television buzzing to life while others will simply ignore it at their own expense ( Though it rarely does any good: Choices matter not here, & the snakes will force you to listen to their demands ), but the sing-song ‘hello’ from a lesser-heard voice does wonders to catch the attention & snap a soul up by the ear.
Your greeting comes from the Princess & the elder Prince rather than their progenitors -- & it seems in good spirits, which couldn’t mean anything other than something awful was bound to come… right?
“ Hellllooo -- can you hear me? Testing, one, two -- well, it’s not like you can answer back, huh? ”
“ Haa? You never know -- They may very well try to throw themselves through the screens one of these days. ”
“ Wuuh? No way! That’s like something from a horror movie Onii-chan, it’s not a fun thought at all! ”
“ Ne? & here I thought you’d enjoy something as gruesome as that,” His palms splay out as his shoulders rise & fall in a careless shrug, one that’s far too relaxed. “Oh well ~. ”
Maeru only offers a close-mouthed snicker in apparent amusement before crossing her arms & casting a pink-hued gaze camera-bound yet again. This banter between the two felt unprofessional, but at least the comedic value made it feel more like a light-hearted channel than two murderers running a podcast.
“ They’re not terrible , but creepy little kids are a whole different thing! But we’ve wasted enough time -- so guess what, guys~? ”
“ Though a Christmas celebration would be absolutely blasphemous for us lovely serpentine hosts, we ARE happy to introduce you all to our culture’s winter solstice celebration~! There’s nothing bad and you get to dress up too, so it’ll just be a nice break from all the torment you’ve been through lately ! -- Right, Onii-chan? ”
Although his eyes had rolled during Maeru’s monologue -- whether it be in genuine exasperation or harmless teasing between two siblings was unclear, & truthfully, didn’t matter all too much -- he offers the camera a much more coy, crooked grin and a narrowing of his eyes that was all too much like his father’s.
“ Right, right -- It really isn’t all too bad, you know. Celebrating death & being reborn certainly sounds grim to you humans, I’m sure, but any fear you all have is way too hypocritical! That is what your,” He waves a finger as his brows knit together. “ Own holidays celebrate, isn’t it? ” His shoulders raise in another shrug, & his head tilts to the side slightly. “But of course, who are you all to say no at the offer of food? There is a promised feast, drinks, & activities -- though I wouldn’t consider it kindness on our part. Just tradition. ”
“ Even so, this isn’t one of those things you’re FORCED into either -- so just come to Hanami Recital in Invidia if you want to have some fun & relax with your friends or get to know those who’re still strangers! We’ll play Three Kings to exchange gifts, decorate a tree, have a dance… it’ll be great~! That’s just the beginning of it too, so just come & see for yourself -- but bring a coat! Shiro is a good snow maker with a little assistance, so maybe it’ll help you feel at home? ”
The two exchange a glance, red eyes meeting pink & their smiles parallel before they turn their focus back onto the camera once more. With the briefest of snickers hissed behind their teeth, they offer the camera a wave each --- Maeru’s with the daintiest wave of her hand that one would figure she’s mocking you, & Toumetsu with an insincere salute as the screen fizzles into nothingness.
UPDATES :
✘ all around the invidia ward are fairy lights of different colors that will flicker to life once the sun sets -- which it will . for the duration of the event the invidia ward solely is on a proper 24-hour cycle. ✘ there is a large tree erected in hanami recital and multiple boxes of decorations can be found by a few picnic tables along with all the materials and fabric needed to make your own. the tree already has lights on it, but is otherwise bare. you wont find anything remotely religious in the boxes however, so no angels nor crosses -- mostly things like poinsettas, stars, and other traditional ornaments. ✘ it’s snowing throughout the duration of the festival as well. the royal family is kept warm thanks to kagerou, but all snakes outside of it may feel themselves slipping into brumation because of the temperature, making them lazy and otherwise overly relaxed. the snow does stick to the ground except for on the walkways of invidia, so by the 21st there will be at least over a foot high of snow -- perfect for snowball fights or building snowmen! ✘ there’s a large feast of meats, fruits, and desserts galore with no strings attached -- but... huh, where did seto’s cow go? ✘ finely aged wine is provided to everyone courtesy of Favoring Eyes -- but any muses under the age of 15 can’t have more than a half glass. ✘ at 3PM EST there will be a three kings (secret santa) event, so feel free to either send an ask or message a mod on the discord what gift your muse wants to throw into the “pot” so that we can randomly generate who gets what gift. even the snake NPCs can join in! ✘ from 5:00PM EST through 12:00AM EST there will be a dance! it’ll be in hanami recital with a live band of snake npcs playing songs in the style of Hadestown. ✘ your muse is provided with traditional clothes to wear for the duration of the festival upon entry into invidia -- so you can choose what outfit they get, but just make sure it’s either MEDIEVAL or GREEK in design! ✘ gattaisareru and saeru seem unrecognizable -- they’ve reverted to their true appearances just as yakitsukeru has and dressed for the occasion too! it’s almost jarring how amiable they’re being by taking part in the festivities, but you could almost aliken them to mirror images of persephone and hades judging by saeru’s horns and gattaisareru’s crown of pomegranate blooms. ✘ the fighting ring won't be up this weekend, so all asks are on hold until the following weekend! ✘ this is only part one of the festivities -- the second and main event will happen sometime on the 21st, however!

HC for how the THRIVE members act around their crush and how they'll confess?
So -- it’s probably my fault that it took this long to post this one. I’ve made mine with so many points, that the other mods tried their best to come up with as many. Sorry about that. m(_ _;)m But I assure you, it’s definitely worth the wait! So without further ado, enjoy~!
~Mod Suki 🐱 7.30.18
Goshi - (Mod Suki 🐱)
- Music.
- It’s really all about music. He’ll talk nonstop about music with you.
- Casually drops some recommendations here and there but he’ll definitely listen to some of yours too.
- He’ll invite you out in the pretense of only shopping for CDs, but takes you out to dine in cafes, sing in karaokes and all the other music-related stuff, along the way.
- He’ll even help out in choosing the right stuff for you. (Music player, headphones and the like.)
- Oh. And going to concerts is the norm. You’re likely not allowed to refuse.
- He’ll talk animatedly about everything and anything if and only it’s music-related.
- Otherwise, he’s the grouchy tsundere that he is. Even with you.
- He’ll likely avoid having you around THRIVE. Who knows what those two will be up to.
- But if it can’t be helped, he’ll probably just deny whatever ‘stupid stuff’ those two are revealing about him to you
- He’ll show a bit of affection, complimenting you and stuff…
- “Heh - You’re good.”
- But you need to be attentive to hear them because he’ll probably not be repeating them for a second time.
- But if you managed to pester him enough, he’s likely to repeat it – along with a blush, a stutter and some demeaning words – so do have your camera ready, or better yet, a video camera… It’s a moment worth memorializing.
- Day of confession… He’ll be moodier than ever. His nervousness an all-time-high.
- Yuuta and Kento will complain about him being stricter than usual during rehearsals.
- But since he’s a natural professional when it comes to music, he’ll give his best performance no matter what.
- Quickly leaving the venue is a must, to avoid the nosy duo’s further teasing.
- He’ll be pacing back and forth and grumbling while waiting for you to arrive. (He’s that uneasy.)
- “ !! – You’re late.” *grumble and blush* (No. You’re not. He’s just too early. And you look stunning in your yukata.)
- He’ll end up walking ahead of you in his nervousness, and when he sees you a few steps behind, he’ll try to hold your hand but ends up going for the wrist instead.
- Taking you to a somewhat secluded place but with the most magnificent view of the fireworks, readying himself.
- “I love you.” *fireworks as background noise*
- “I - I’m not repeating it, stupid! It’s your fault for not hearing it the first time!”
- But since he’s pretty much weak to cute animals(He’ll totally deny this one.), making a puppy dog eyes along with a cute pout will surely do the trick.
- “Tsk.” *holds your hand* “I love you.”
- Blushes and looks away from your sweet smile.
- But he’ll look back after the initial embarassment pass and smile his own happy grin.
Yuuta~☆ ~Mod Mika 🐰(I hope these are okay! I’m very very new to B-project, so I’m still learning the characters)
- He’ll continuously offer them his prized rainbow puddings, feeling immensely satisfied every time they accept one.
- EXTRA excitable. He will not remain still at all due to how happy their presence makes him.
- Will try to show off in front of his crush, just small things like how well he could prepare them tea/coffee or whatever else they may drink.
- He likes to spend time with his crush with his fellow THRIVE members as long as he gets most of their attention.
- If he’s not receiving the most attention, he’ll sit in the corner, almost sulking while longingly gazing at them. He isn’t even aware he does it unless it’s pointed out.
- Tries to look extra appealing for you but also attempts to do it subtly - not that subtly matters because honestly everyone knows he has a crush on said person. Goushi and (mostly) Kento tease him about it.
- Yuuta doesn’t even realize he has a crush until it’s explained to him. He thought it was strange that being near them made him feel so warm and giddy.
- He ends up unintentionally following them around quite a bit, though he genuinely tries to avoid doing so.
- He’ll do anything that’s asked of him. If his crush says they’re thirsty, he’ll appear with a beverage for them in seconds.
- Compliments at any given opportunity, he’ll also always remind them they look stunning each time they meet.
- He’ll debate on how to confess for a little while, wanting it to be a perfect process.
- He’ll also pester his fellow THRIVE members for ideas and advice, especially Kento since he’s a natural with women.
- Eventually he decides upon a simply planned date
- However, that doesn’t matter, he ends up blurting out his feelings by mistake once they do something simple that utterly captivates him.
- He then attempts to correct himself, settling for a messy yet sweet confession.
Kento - (Mod Kayu 🐼)
- Faces a really hard time in winning your heart because you feel his flirtatious behaviour with you is the same as it is for other girls.
- Gets all serious around you.
- Very protective and gentlemanly. Won’t even look at Tsubasa or any other woman once he has his eyes on you.
- Gets really jealous when he sees you conversing with guys other than him.
- Especially Goshi.
- Teases you. A lot!
- Unintentionally gives you an inferiority complex when it comes to fashion and style.
- Thus he’s getting into casuals these days.
- But if you ever need advice on clothes, latest fashion trends, shoes, perfumes, whatever.. you know where to go.
- Takes time to realize he has to do something out of the box to win you. Quite slow on updating himself.
- Hesitantly reveals his vulnerable side to you, thus indirectly emphasizing on why he needs you in his life.
- Gets all flustered if you compliment him randomly.
- Hides his embarrassment by shooting an equally flustering comment at you.
- Lots of cheesy compliments and pick up lines. He never seems to run out of them (Actually renews his stock of pick up lines every night from the internet.)
- "Your cheeks seem cold. Let me warm them up for you, princess. Kisses your cheek".
- "I don’t exercise very often but I’m sure my heart is in a pretty good shape…. Because whenever I see you, my heart starts beating around 7000 per minute, which is way more for an average heart.“
- When he feels he can’t hide it any longer, he decides to confess.
- Tries to make it heartfelt and honest. Shows his true self.. none of his usual flirtatious attitude. Just his true self that was so mad in love with you.
- Unexpectedly, he chooses to say it privately in a celebration party, so that a good night’s sleep can heal all hard feelings. Though he’s unsure if you’ll want to see him again after what he’s about to say.
- Loads of teasing and nosy questions from Yuta and Goshi. He’s not able to keep his head clear.
- So he just drags you away from them and the two of you end up at the terrace, fondly gazing at stars while secretly cherishing each other’s company.
- His heart leaps with nervousness as he notices those e/c hues glimmering in wonder and fascination, those s/c cheeks blushing ever so lightly, those tender lips he always wanted to capture against his own. He knew.. it’s now or never.
- Takes your hand in his own, inhales deeply, cups your cheek and says it lovingly.
- "F/n, I can’t hold these feelings any longer. I’m… I.. I like you. I really do.”
- A moment of a blank stare from you is enough for him to believe he was rejected. He lets go of your hand and steps back vaguely.. as if he felt he crossed his limits.
- Blue eyes glimmer for a fraction of a second before completely darkening out. His usual gaze of fondness and admiration is now hollowed out and seems lifeless.
- Until you reach out for his hand and break the torturous silence.
- "I like you too, Kento" you state shyly with a hesitant smile.
- Cerulean hues light up with joy and exhilaration as he continuously reminds himself it’s not a dream.
- Happy and embarrassed as heck.
- Most probably twirls you into a hug from behind and dramatically asks you to be his girlfriend.
- The day ends with a desperate Tsubasa trying to keep Goshi and Yuta from interrupting your sweet moments.

Big Bang Artist Sign-Ups Open TOMORROW
So, this is Hellz checking in with the FINAL artist sign-up arrangements!
At about 12pm (GMT) tomorrow (Sunday 27th), a post will be made to this blog containing a link to the artist sign-up form and all the fic summaries. If you’re interested in signing up as an artist, please read the summaries carefully and then fill in your sign-up form, including:
Your tumblr url
Your email address (if you don’t want us to contact you via this, please say so!)
The numbers of your favourite summaries, in order of preference (you do not need to choose more than one summary, but it will keep your options open- only choose fics you would be genuinely happy/excited to work on!)
And the other questions on the form, then simply submit it and wait for updates!
It’s hard at this point in time to gauge exactly how many artists will take part, and which fics will be most popular, but given that there’s been quite a lot of artist interest so far I will NOT be taking down summaries and sending out assignments as soon as fics are claimed. I will, instead, be leaving the fic summaries that are claimed up for at least three days, and holding off on sending out artist assignments for a similar amount of time. This is because it may be necessary to assign multiple artists to certain fics so as many people can participate as possible, and I don’t want to end up assigning many artists to one fic and none to others, so I’d rather collect up the sign-ups and try and work them into a fair arrangement! I will try my best to pair people fairly though, and will try and take how fast you got in there with your preferences into account. But just to be safe, don’t put any fics in your back-up slots that you wouldn’t be enthusiastic to work with! And remember that you don’t need to submit traditional art per se- edits, audio and playlists are all welcome, as well!
Because I’m doing this, if you’ve already participated in the Beginner Bang, you CAN sign-up at the same time as everyone else- BUT, I will still be prioritising people who haven’t participated yet, so no matter how quick you got in you may not get your first choice fic! I will try and make sure everyone has something to do, though!
Hope that’s clear for everyone! I’m still feeling my way through this thing and I’m a softie who doesn’t like to leave people behind, so obviously I’m figuring out things as I go along! Hopefully it’ll all work out for the best- and writers, don’t worry if your fic is not claimed right away! Sometimes stories just don’t come across as well in summaries as they do in the finished product. If after a week your story has not been claimed, I or one of my other fandom artist pals will surely step in and try to create something wonderful! (In fact, if you’re an artist/creator with no preference for fic who’d consider giving a neglected fic a home, have a think about signing up as a Big Bang pinch-hitter)
Anyone just finding out about this event, please check our Calendar and FAQ! Any further questions can be directed to us via this blog or at [email protected], or you can go seek answers and even some good conversation in the DGHDA Big/Beginner Bang Discord server!
Can’t wait to see you there, Dirktectives! Watch this space!

Ivy Getty, the oil heiress, marries in San Francisco wearing a mirrored Margiela wedding gown.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi conducted the event, while actress Anya Taylor-Joy served as maid of honour. Isabella Love Getty, the great-granddaughter of oil mogul J. Paul Getty and one of his billion-dollar heiresses, married photographer Tobias Engel in San Francisco over the weekend in a one-of-a-kind reflecting bridal gown. The 26-year-old model and artist donned an unique garment created by John Galliano for Maison Margiela Haute Couture, which consisted of four layers covered with shattered mirror fragments to create a flowery theme. "A large portion of the garment is made of genuine mirror," Galliano told Vogue. "However, since she had to walk in it, we devised a material that looks like a genuine mirror but weighs a lot less." Her veil was embroidered with walnuts to remember her late grandmother Ann, who lived up on a walnut farm, and guitars to honour her late father, John Gilbert, a musician who died last year. Getty revealed that she picked Galliano for her wedding because her grandmother was a tremendous fan of his work, having purchased his designs for Givenchy and Christian Dior. "My grandma always wore John Galliano's designs," the bride told the magazine. My grandmother had always adored him, so it seemed as though she was right there with me through it all. I felt this connection to John when my grandma died—she was more like a mother to me. I knew I wanted him to design my wedding gown. My aunt Vanessa, with whom I am extremely close, was introduced to him by a friend, and here we are."

This is a question you might not post and its not intended to make you angry but are you guys and specifically Pascal trying to stir the fans up? We all know that Jobby is a sensitive subject & emotions run high. But it seems you guys are really believing the moving in and engagement story as a real option. It’s one thing to be open minded that they have a real relationship but running with a tabloid is odd here. You are usually quick to tell fans not to get caught up on one thing. Curious?
Want to know what’s funny? We were getting called out before we even said anything about how we felt about the article either way. We simply posted it, and went about our lives, all too busy to really sit at the blog to answer anything. So we were getting asks telling us we were dumb for buying into his article, and I was just wondering who the hell these people are talking to, because we weren’t even posting asks, or commenting. I think just by posting the article itself, people consider that to mean we believe it when we’ve always posted any kind of article that we run across regardless of its plausibility. It’s the latest gossip/news, so we posted it the same as any of those other stories that tend to have a less flattering opinion or “trouble in paradise” slant to them, but are also from unreliable sources. We’ve always just posted stories from tabloids. I think the problem this time is that this one story upset people even if it’s false, to the point where we can’t even just put it out there for people to talk about as we do with others. This is bothering people, and we’ve seen it in the reblog notes and the twitter mentions. People are getting all bent out of shape about it. And all we said was hey, wait and see. We say that about just about every story we come across. OK Magazine can shovel fiction just as any other magazine. Every now and then these magazines get something right. Is this one likely? Probably not. Are there parts that are? Maybe, but really what difference does it make to you? Or us? We just shared it. Have your opinion. WE ARE NOT TELLING YOU WHAT TO BELIEVE.
We aren’t trying to stir up fans. Why are people so pressed about this? If it’s just fake news and total lies, why get upset? People just want to have their own opinions validated, and want someone to soothe them and tell them that Chris would never do this. We can’t say any of that for sure. Even before this article. Ariel probably disagrees with Pascal and I. Queen hasn’t really told us which way she leans. For the record, NONE OF US is taking this article seriously. Is it 100% false? We don’t know. Probably. Maybe. But we can’t dismiss this completely as much as we can’t dismiss much of what comes across our inbox. It’s not a terribly outlandish story, but is it likely? Probably not. That’s probably. Not absolutely.
Chris is with this woman. We don’t know exactly how he feels about her, but he probably does care about her, and genuinely likes her to be choosing her not once but twice. Does this mean they’re built to last? We don’t know. These two could be doing this back and forth crap for years, or it could end in a huge mess once and for all. A lot of people are so sure they’re set to break up right after the holidays based on…well, I’m not sure. Precedent? A lot of people were so sure they were never getting back together. There are even people convinced they’re not together now. People have strong feelings about these two. I’m not sure why. Our personal opinions shouldn’t matter to you. They don’t even matter to each other. We disagree in our mod group chat all the time about all of this, and then guess what we do when that happens? We laugh about it, talk about more important things, share coupon codes for makeup we don’t need to be buying, and then get into intensely heated arguments about Ariel’s wrong pizza topping preferences. None of this really matters, you see? It’s just a discussion about two ridiculous actors and their stupid life choices. I think it’s best that people don’t take these stories nor opinions on these stories that seriously.
You are right, we have always told fans not to get caught up in this, and we are still saying that. I don’t know how that message got misconstrued to mean anything else. We have never said this story was real. Anything is possible, but we aren’t standing behind this article, nor are we vouching for its authenticity, but that shouldn’t matter because we are just four people running a blog for fun. We aren’t authorities. We aren’t the last word, and no individual speaks for the collective. Whatever one of us thinks or feels is not what everyone thinks or feels. If we can co-exist here on the blog as mods together, and have different opinions from one another, can we ask that of our followers, too? Let’s give each other that respect.

Part two for @holleyberry @penig @aondaneedles @deedee-sims @dramallamadingdang @katatty @alienpod and @simlili beneath the cut!
holleyberry replied to your photoset “Little bit of kitchen romance. ”
It makes me happy that these two found each other.
You and me both!
holleyberry replied to your photoset “Volcanoes sprouting up beneath the locker-rooms. Just another day at...”
Oh no!
Eh, I wasn’t too heartbroken about it. Either he or his girlfriend came home with a promotion that day. Simoleons aren’t too hard to come by.
penig replied to your photoset “Bernie: Wow, congratulations, Al. I’m so glad to see you’ve finally...”
I'm afraid that makes him feel he won. He wanted to get a rise out of her, he got it.
I honestly can’t decide if he was trying to annoy her, being genuine, faking genuine in an effort to be nice, or simply being an idiot. It could be most of the above.
holleyberry replied to your photoset “Bernie: Oh hey Al. You’re looking good. I hardly recognized you. ...”
That's not awkward at all! Allegra should start blowing Martin kisses and caressing his hand.
penig replied to your photoset “Bernie: Oh hey Al. You’re looking good. I hardly recognized you. ...”
I'm with Holleyberry! Don't let him score points, Allegra.
Unfortunately Allegra’s too nice and shy to gloat and/or make a scene, but she’s not too nice to be walked over!
aondaneedles replied to your photo “Bernie: So, uh, nice weather we’ve been having lately. Bernie: Umm, I...”
Awkward.
Why that’s Bernie’s middle name!
penig replied to your photoset “Martin’s been crushing hard on Allegra for a while now, but he’s...”
How, Josh wonders, does his nerdy little brother get women whenever he needs one, while he's taken his whole life to do it?
Not that he’s complaining about the reward his patience has reaped, however!
penig replied to your photoset “Joshua: Don’t worry about Frank. Some Sims take longer than others to...”
She'll hardly get grandkids out of him during her lifetime if Frank takes as long as you, Josh!
She isn’t Family, so she isn’t quite so desperate for him to get on that as others would be, and she does have Kiera’s girls to tide her over, but she definitely wouldn’t complain if he got a move on it!
holleyberry replied to your photoset “Eowyn: You know, Frank, you’re a nice young man, and any girl would be...”
Poor Frank.
deedee-sims replied to your photoset “Eowyn: You know, Frank, you’re a nice young man, and any girl would be...”
Aw, poor Frank :/
He tries so hard. :(
dramallamadingdang replied to your post “Hello friends! Sorry I’ve been quiet lately. I’ve gotten sucked into...”
Have a good trip! Don't forget your woolen underwear! :)
Thanks! No woolly underwear for me (sounds itchy!) but I managed all right in at least 5 layers. :D
dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “Back at home, Bandit has her puppies! (Forest is the father.) Their...”
I think there are only a few puppy/kitten models for the game to choose from. They do look different once they grow up. Or at least my recent batch of identical kittens did...
Oh yeah, I know they’ll be unique once they grow up (looking forward to it because their parents are pretty different), but yes, it would be nice if there were a little more variety to at least puppy/kitten colouring types. I’ve been seeing a couple of new exciting mods for pets lately, some of which in areas thought impossible to customize, so who knows what the future could bring?!
dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “Allegra: Aldric, how would you like a house of your own? Aldric: Uhh…...”
Well, that was...abrupt? :)
When money isn’t an issue (she’s surprisingly loaded), and you’re in a hurry to get out, why bother with the trouble of selling? Ahh, it must be nice to be rich.
katatty-main replied to your photoset “Martin: Allegra! It’s been too long. Allegra: Martin! How are you...”
aww, i'm glad martins enjoying it. homes get a bad rep
Some do, and sometimes rightfully so. Fortunately a lot of them are nice, and as I’m the one in charge, I’m definitely making sure this one is a nice place!
alienpod replied to your photoset “Frank’s new apartment. We’ll see more of it once he finishes...”
Looks so cool :o
aondaneedles replied to your photoset “Frank’s new apartment. We’ll see more of it once he finishes...”
It’s beautiful!
simlili replied to your photoset “Frank’s new apartment. We’ll see more of it once he finishes...”
Looks awesome!
Thanks all! It’s always fun to build something a little different. :) Even if apartment lots are so big and time-consuming! @_@
penig replied to your photoset “Eowyn: I’m going to miss you so much! Frank: Relax, Mum. You know I’m...”
All grown up...sniff...
I know! Happy little Frank will always be my baby, though, even when he’s old and grey. (Perish the thought!)

@grungedyke Tumblr own’t let me reblogged, and i’m not sure if its being dumb or you blocked
Thanks for showing up dumbass. Your presence and your type of thinking in that server is like a tumor, do you realize that? You’re a spineless liar if you think a member saying they were leaving is “strongarming” someone, and those mods are truly either desperate or foolish to keep you in there. No wonder people are uncomfortable with the environment in there – you and other active users have a habit of distorting any disagreement into violent persecution while pretending everything on your side is completely “valid” and brave.
I’m allowed to stay because i don’t break rules. Even now, this isn’t breaking rules. I rarely interact with minors in the server unless they directly talk to me first. But please go off about how I’m terrible for thinking that demanding a mod force someone to stop unhealthy coping, and cropping that out is bad.
My claim that rules are more heavily enforced is directly addressing the fact that i have gotten in trouble for things i legit forget. Ie. THe server does not allow the word b*tch. So often i’ll type “bitching about’ and get a warning from dyno. Thats p fucking strict. I’ve also phrased things v poorly, and been told to either delete the message or clarification, I often opt to EDIT THE INFORMATION because I know exclus will screenshot the bad one, and not the new one. But okay.
Recently a rule has been implimented for triggers, telling us that server anouncemnts will be modifed with new triggers/squick as they appear. Now if you have issues with these instances of rules, please go take that up with the mods.
Now, as for your screenshot, yes, I did tell them to archive it, and how I’ve both handled people baying for blood over the art of 2 ocs in a server in the past. I locked the channel, put an NSFW ban in place, and then *archived them* something I’m surprised you are more grateful for. Considering not only would archiving the channel would keep the good advice (ie yes use lube, do not use soap like in fanfic etc.) along with the bad that yall screenshotted before.
You may pretend to be nice, but that typical tendersoft nerd innocent-white-person shit does not stop you from being predatory.
There is no pretending. I genuinely believe it or not, believe in being nice to just about everyone I come across. That includes you, or a stranger on the bus or even someone walking by my house in a fucking ski mask. Being polite, and kind is just something I believe in. Until you give me beyond a reasonable doubt, I don’t even owe you basic compassion, then you’re gonna get it. Yes, that includes for big mistakes like not having age roles when you were finding your feet in discord moderation. That includes, people like you, who are trying to accuse me of “preserving gross content” when the reality is archiving a chat is a neutral suggestion because it favors no one. But i see, clearly i should go around kicking random babies and yelling don’t touch me. Because clearly if i’m not openly 100% mean to everyone, i must have some ulterior motive for my kindness right?
Can you name a single change to the rules aside from this recent “keep all the messages and let the adults keep reading them” shite?
See the above. In the past when users got banned all their messages would be deleted. They started keeping this for context. Then there's last year where someone decided to doxx a bunch of discords and said “Btw I did this bc uwuw you don’t edit screenshots” it took two weeks to give or take for mods to come to a verdict on what to do. So they made the rule that screenshots may not have their og username in them. Based on this, alone, i suspect the nsfw channels and sex ed might not be reopened for a similar period of time until the mods make new rules and clarify old ones.
It’s irrelevant and maybe even suspicious for you to bring up the wrongdoings of people who are completely unrelated to this situation. You’re already deflecting onto other people, offering no evidence of the “context,” and bitching on behalf of the mods. If you were in any way committed to safety or improving the situation, you wouldn’t be bringing up random people and downplaying things you obviously witnessed.
“offering no evidence of the context” for someone in the server you would know a handful of things about me 1) mobile tumblr is hell and i attach information from pc once I can. 2) I was out of town for someone so eager to screenshot me funny how you were so eager to forget that information.
So heres screenshot 1
Funfact i did not, and still don’t know what agere is. Now i will say my stance on cgl is that its not for me. I don’t like it, i don’t want to hear about it. But as long as both participates are 18, i also don’t need to know about it. Now if a minor was in chat, said “i participate in cgl with my partner” i would full stop be like what the fuck. And would leave if the mods decided to condone it, but that isn’t what happened. But you can see the mods do point out that if an unhealthy relationship or it was discussed at all outside of nsfw- channels they would be warned, banned, or reported.
Then there is the obvious mention that age regression isn’t a consenting adult, yeah. Ya dang right it not motherfucker. But let's talk about the word AGERE in relation to this. I’ve never once heard that there is a special word for nonsexual coping mechanism. So like damn, I’ll just add that into my vocabulary.
But I didn’t know that word exists, me saying “non sexual cgl” or “coping cgl” is literally me acknowledging that I find that eh but ultimately okay between consenting adults who are not aged regressing vs sexual cgl.
screen shot 2
In this a user tries to suggest the mods have a moral obligation to inform someone its “unhealthy” when mods point out that no they do not, but nor do they allow users to go off telling everyone “Oh cgl is a great coping mechinism you should do it to.”
Which is important. Because again, I hate cgl, but I also am of the mind that, i can’t stop it. I outright can’t, so no i’m not gonna get involved in someones personal road to recovery and be like “you’re disgusting”. I can however tell them to keep it away from me, and not to discuss it in channels minors can see. (a policy that has been in place for a while now.)
screenshot 3
More of the mods not condoning it, and stating p clearly that policies have changed since 2017/early 2018. I’ve been in the server since july 2018ish. And things have been nearly constantly evolving.
screenshot 4
Mods again emphasizing that you can find the policy changes since the messages have changed. Because that is important. They confined this to other channels. Why they didn’t delete the information in sexed, i can’t actually say one way or another. They might have kept it because they believe in mistakes of that caliber being left alone. But you also have no evidence for why they kept the og messages.
But the reason, i consider what herpcourse did lying by omission, is herpcourse led you to believe the above screenshots were out in the open. The ones i just posted happened in some random channel. They did not, they happened in an age locked channel. That only adults are in. And mods are under no obligation to 1) be your personal therapist, 2) nor are they obligated to go “uwu reminder cgl in all situations no matter what is disgusting you dirties” because doing so is preformative. One of the mods is squicked by it just like me. But please go off about how admitting past mistakes happened, refusing to performatively disown something, and refusing to tell anyone who mentions it in the age locked channels is actually gross and unhealthy when you know nothing about them is bad.
I did not, in fact, witness anything in sexed, because I don’t go there. I only witnessed the stuff that followed herpcourse callout, which means the above messages. I have sexed muted.
I also didn’t bring up random people I brought up a known predator who is on youtube, actually sends salacious photos to minors, and is p safe to say fucking gross, my point was there are actual sharks in the water, please stop focusing on the tuna. Because you can surprise, call out both behaviors. But i’ve yet to see an exclus call out someone like pkrussel, instead choosing to focus on people who might have a seemingly large following in one community. Me pointing out sharks in the beach and asking you to stop focusing on tuna, is not telling you to ignore the tuna.
I’m only as committed to this situation as anyone can be, which isn’t v much considering I’ve yet to witness someone grooming a minor in gen chat. Or witnessed them grooming minors at all. The only skin i have in this game is the following: Minors still being allowed access to decent sex-ed resources and being allowed to ask questions. And 2) my own personal discomfort with all cgl. My hope is that rules do become more clear, maybe only discussion of sex ed by users to be direct questions only. Meaning a minor can come in ask a direct question and receive a direct answer. Which while not ideal sex ed, is sitll better than what i got, what you probably got, and what they’re likely getting (if getting any at all)
The mods are not level-headed and not passive when they actually care and think they have control. They’re cowardly, that’s the difference. They literally got more mad over someone making fun of one of their icons and a minor saying genuine trauma with the q slur is possible.
I don’t expect them to be 100% level headed. I’d honestly be kinda upset if they didn’t display emotions when shit like this happens. But please give me a source on the icon thing (which btw, no you shouldn’t make fun of people, period) and for the minor saying ‘queer can have trauma’ bc I do think it can. But if you join fya, you can’t request it be tagged as qlur. Because there is a lot o discussion not only of queer as a personal identity but also queer as a history. Which means groups like queer nation, or shows today like queer eye. And just like I hope if I’m discussing the motorcycle gang made up of lesbians called dykes on bikes and their history, you’d not want me to censor, or remove their history and accomplishments by calling them “d-slur on bikes uwu” you don’t expect me to censor the discussion above. But to my knowledge, the denial is not “queer isn’t used as a slur” its “queer as an identity deserves respect, and to insist its evil is to take the word our oppressors used and give it back to them.”
Also what’s with you specifically and always bringing up “afab” as a gotcha descriptor in arguments? What are you trying to say?
Bc lets be real, when you talk about ddlg, you’re talking about an afab person dressing up as a child and calling her partner daddy while he fucks her most times. Didn’t know to point out the difference between that and agere was in fact a “gotcha” based purely on the agab of the person. But okay.
You need to leave and delete your five blogs from anywhere you can speak to minors like yesterday.
Okay, what are the five blogs? Bc I’m only aware of...literally none that interact with minors in conscious effort.
I highly doubt there’s any reason for them to have changed, considering the execrable atmosphere in that server, so here’s a screenshot of one mod (toytulini) going Karen mode along with a bunch of other 20+ year olds while the minor they were targeting tried to defuse the situation as mentioned above.
What is the context? Bc i legit don't’ see any. I see them arguing, btu about what, I don’t know, if i was involved myself, I do not remember. So again, not much of a smoking gun. It looks like they were trying to get someone to actually *understand* what was being said, but that wasn’t appearing to happen. But again, missing context such as what the argument was about, why that started, so on so forth. also if the person was told not to argue there, yeah, they should have moved it. as per server rules, there are channels to argue in, that wasn’t one. So no matter the context, if they were breaking rules, and did not move when requested, yes, they should be given a ban based on whatever the conversation topic was.
Now, i’ve provided evidence. I’m gonna go to bed, please feel free to dm me here if you need me to clarify anything or want to throw out accusations about how being kind must be predatory af since i’m barely an adult and adults lose compassion after becoming 18.

Advice for health insurance please? (community college student with low-paying part-time job)?
I haven't had health insurance since I turned 18 and no longer qualified for my family's health insurance plan. I wasn't really concerned at the time, but now that its been a few years (I am almost 21 now), I am in need of dental care. My problem is that I don't know what my health insurance options currently are. I am a college student, although my community college does not offer any health plans for students. I do have a part time job at a daycare that offers health insurance, however its price is far too high for my income. The insurance company is Aetna, and would cost me $16.92 for the lowest medical option, plus $4.61 for dental. So that would cost me $21.53 weekly, which doesn't sound too bad, except I only earn about $120 every two weeks....reducing my paychecks to about only $76 every two weeks....which just isn't enough for me to live on considering that I pay for my own food and everything else needed. So.... does anyone know of health insurance companies that have options for community college students like me? I know state insurance may be an option, but I have a feeling I don't qualify for that since I'm not legally an independent, yet I can't afford to move out and become independent. See the nasty cycle now? lol. And no, earning more money and finding a better paying job is not an option for me at this time. I can't transfer to a college that does offer health insurance for another two years either.. If anyone can give me advice, I'd be very grateful. Thank you in advance =)""

How much life insurance should we have on each other at our age?

(don't have any cards) Our cars are 2,000 away from being paid off so I don't think that should be figured in at all. I have 100,000 on my husband and 150,000 on me. I took more on me because he has no family here and though my family of course will help him if I passed away but I thought because I stay at home and he would have to find daycare and all he would need more. My sister said I should take out at least 2x my pay off on my house so that I could pay it off and still have 100,000 to cover financial issues until the parent left could settle in to taking care of a house hold alone.

Now that the snow finally melted here, he left a note on our door saying he wants payment in full in 7 days or he will report to our insurance. My question is, progressive told us they put it under property damage so there is no deductible but what will this do to our rates if anything? Thank You""

""Minor car crash, no insurance?""
So I got into a minor car crash, I believe my insurance expired. I only have a few scratches on my car, but for the other driver her side view mirror broke. I was wondering just to pay out of pocket because side view mirror repair isnt that much and she probably has a few scatches on her car as well, and going through all the hassle is to much time and work. She wanted to exchange insurance info but wasnt able to provide because I wasn't sure if I was insured or not. What to do? My first car accident! :(""
Really dumb questions about car insurance?
This is my first time buying a car, and I have a question that may be kind of dumb. I live in Illinois, so it is illegal to drive a car that's uninsured. I don't have a car now, so I don't have a way of transferring insurance or whatever. - What do I do when I find a car and buy it and need to take it off the lot? I don't know what kind of car I'm getting, so I can't really get the insurance ahead of time. - If I did get pulled over for whatever reason, would the police be understanding if I just bought the car? - How quickly do insurance companies usually get you covered over the phone (particularly, Progressive)? - Do you have to pay a deposit? When? - When would my first actual payment be if I pay once every 6 months? I know these are dumb and basic, but please understand that I have never ever bought a car or gotten car insurance.""

Car Insurance problem?
I need to renew my car insurance in the next few days but I am also moving to a new address in under 3 weeks time. This new address offers me much cheaper car insurance. I don't use my car much and can do without using it all for 3 weeks. If it is parked on the road and fully taxed is it a legal requirement to insure the vehicle even if it isn't used. I can live with it being stolen or damaged but I wouldn't want to be fined for being uninsured. The only problem with insuring the vehicle under my current postcode is that I'm at the whim of the insurance companies to what discount they offer me when I actually move. All the insurers I have phoned can't guarantee a fixed price for the new postcode if I register my the policy under my current postcode for the first 3 weeks. My main concern is not to do anything illegal so at the end of the day it's not worth saving money if I am going to get in to trouble or be fined.

How do you get car insurance at 17?
My parents flat out refuse to put me on their insurance. Neither of them can afford it, and they don't want to be responsible if I get into a crash or whatnot. I'm getting the title of a car transferred to me sometime this week (my dad's girlfriend sold me her '03 Alero), and the insurance on it is only valid until the end of the month (I do believe.) I do not have my license yet, only my permit. My dad is willing to pay for monthly insurance until I get my license and take my 5 hour driving course and the 6 hour defensive driving course.

Vaping; more than just a hobby, more than just a community
Everyone is different, there are a million and one things that separate us from the person next to us, whether it’s the colour of our eyes, hair, skin, our clothes, the list is endless and most of these things we can alter, we can choose how we want the world to perceive to us, but what if you couldn’t? What if you lived a life where instead of adapting the way you are perceived by the world, you have to adapt to a world not necessarily built or capable of understanding the thing or things that make you different? Things you cannot change.
It’s glaringly obvious just by looking at me what makes me different, and no I’m not talking about my sexuality, it’s quite literally plastered to my face but still people aren’t capable of understanding the difficulties or the way I have to adapt. All they see me as is ‘the girl with the patch’ and that’s ok, it’s a true statement, I wear a patch but what people fail to understand is that the sight in the eye that you can see, isn’t all that great either. Now, in a way I am lucky, because people can see that I am partially sighted. I wear a patch. If visibility is poor because of weather or time of day, I use a white cane. If I’m out by myself or with someone who isn’t all that familiar with what I can and can’t see, I use my cane. It might come as a shock to some people but the pictures I post from my walks round the lake with my brother, I very rarely, if ever, use my cane because he knows which side to walk on, he knows that there’s certain things I won’t pick up on and will warn me of them, he even knows not to point and say “look at that!” because it doesn’t matter what side of me you are on, I can’t see it!!! Not everyone is this lucky, believe it or not, I am not the only partially person that vapes, and it’s not always obvious that they’re partially sighted. Not everyone uses a white cane, some people don’t even have glasses. Having an invisible disability is beyond difficult, people tend to forget it exists and completely disregard it, much like people assume that the vision in my left eye is a lot better than you think. Not only am I partially sighted, I also have mental health problems that I have to deal with as well, one of which being anxiety and believe me, people dismiss that faster than they assume my left eye is ok. “You’ve nothing to be anxious about”, “Just breathe”, the list of useless phrases is endless. It’s like people say those words and think it magically makes everything better. News flash - it’s as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
If you’ve stuck with me this far, I applaud you but I promise that there is a point to all of this information I have given you and yes, it does relate to vaping. The vast majority of people I know started vaping because they wanted to quit cigarettes, I, on the other hand, made the switching to vaping for two very important reasons. 1) Safety. I have very little in the way of depth perception. I cannot list the number of times I burnt my face trying to light a cigarette or my fingers from not being able to tell how much of the cigarette had burned and how close the embers were to my skin. 2) Cigarettes are expensive as hell! I couldn’t afford cigarettes as it stood, I rolled my own and after a rather rapid decline in the sight I have, I was finding it too difficult to roll anymore. I couldn’t judge the amount of tobacco I was placing in the paper. I can’t see white on white so figuring out where I’d put the filter was impossible. It would take me 10 minutes to roll a cigarette and that was on a good eye day. It was frustrating as hell so when a friend introduced to me vaping (something I am eternally grateful for), I dived in head first and switched from cigarettes to vaping immediately with no cross over period.
Vaping to me was (and still is) amazing! It was something that was easy to learn and I very soon discovered that I can do most things by feel so even on days when I have very little vision, I don’t morph into mega-bitch from lack of nicotine (I’ve yet to kick that one). I can change my batteries, I can refill my juice, I can change my tanks over, I can fit new coils (in tanks, still getting to grip with builds on bad eye days), I can make coils and depending on what mod I’m using, I’m even able to change the wattage and I can do all of this by feel and more importantly, by myself. I finally gained a new hobby and with it came a new sense of independence and believe me, when you start to lose your sight and have to rely more on other people, can no longer drive, need helping using things like the oven, etc. Finding something that gives you that sense of independence is a God send.
When my friend introduced me to vaping, she took me to a store that is in no way local for us. I had to rely on her or my mum or whoever I could rope into giving me a lift to get there. Ordering online is great, but a lot of places have a minimum spend for delivery and when you only want a 10ml juice or a pack of coils, the postage just doesn’t seem worth it so I started hunting for more local places and it turned out that there were actually 3 vape shops in Milton Keynes and one of those isn’t all that far from where I live. I’m very nervous about going anywhere new, I have anxiety about new people or people in general if I’m honest but it’s also hard trying to navigate new places when you can’t see all that much so I convinced my mum to take me and go in with me and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made because I had stumbled upon SpaceInvapers. At this point I was very new to vaping and worried that I’d come across as an idiot that had no idea what they are doing, which to be honest I pretty much was, but I was welcomed by both Matt and Paul (who to this day my mum still refers to as the man that makes massive clouds). Instantly Matt introduced himself, asked my name, shook my hand and if you know Matt you’ll know what I mean when I say he flashed that cheeky boy grin of his. Paul introducing himself in true Paul fashion with a smile and a great big cloud. Honestly, I’ve never come across this kind of service, on this side of the pond at least. They were genuinely happy to help out, answer my questions, give me advice and told me that I was more than welcome to come sit at their bar and hang out. Soon enough, that’s exactly what I did, first coming in for one day here or there and if I could stick it out without freaking out I’d hang out for an hour but that gradually increased and I was soon coming every other day (while I’m not having panic attacks I am still anxious and need a day to recover from being around people). After a little while I started talking to other people that hang out there and soon I started to make friends, with staff and other people who had discovered SpaceInvapers. I had discovered a little community that I didn’t even know existed and they all welcomed me without batting an eyelid.
Now, it’s obvious to anyone who follows my instagram that I love SpaceInvapers, I’m not going to lie about that, it’s downright amazing and let me tell you why. Not only did I discover a place I could go, vape and make friends. I discovered a place where people don’t treat me like I’m handicapped, like I’m incapable of doing things. When I bought my first RDA I was given lots of choice and advise, told about the different types of decks and had every question that popped into my head answered. When it came to setting it up for the coil, I was asked if I wanted someone to install it for me. Do you have any idea what it means to have someone if you’d like help having installed instead of them just taking charge and doing it because they think you can’t? Let me tell you now, it sucks! It’s beyond disheartening and after a while you start to wonder whether or not you can do these things or not. But I was asked! Instead of having someone do it for me, I asked if they could just guide me while I tried, point out to me if I was doing something wrong, stuff like that and having installed my first coil in an RDA by myself gave me a great sense of achievement, pride and boosted my confidence. It’s fiddly, true, but I have learnt how to fit my coils by feel, it’s not impossible. Soon after of course, I wanted to try to build my own coils and once again SpaceInvapers came to my aid and talked me through what I would need, what wires they recommend, and pointed me in the direction of Steam Engine so if I was unsure when I was at home and trying to build, I had access to everything I need. Off I went and once again I discovered that I could build my own coils purely by feel (for my fellow partially sighted vapers, steer clear of kanthal twisted wire, it is no good for building by feel, it’s too flimsy).
Last week I attended my first vape meet, which meant a lot of people, but it’d be ok because I had a friend going with me and I know Matt, Paul, Jade, Ricc and Andy so I’d be find, I took an extra anxiety med with me just in case but mostly I was excited about the meet. Not only was it my first meet, it was my first cloud competition, which meant standing up in front of a lot of people (thank God I packed that extra pill) and I was beyond terrified, especially because my friend had to leave early so I was now on my own. The anxiety had me convinced that people would laugh at me, “look at the poor little blind girl thinking she can do it”, but it was quite the opposite. I had people congratulate me for having a go. I spoke with reps from companies and genuinely enjoyed our conversations. A couple people asked about my patch, but no one was rude about it. I had praise for building my own coils, I had people curious about how I’m able to use Drippers and such and I had no issue with answering their questions because who else do you counter the misunderstanding? To some of you this will seem like “well, duh”, but this is a far cry from how I’ve been treated in the past. I have had people shout out at me in the street, “Eh, look at the pirate!”, I have had people deliberately place obstacles in my path when they see me coming, I’ve had people move stuff after I’ve put it in a specific place because they want to see if I’ll knock it or over, I’ve endured a lot of horrible people over something I have no control of, so believe me, having people treat me like this is a very BIG deal to me.
For a lot of people vaping is a means of giving up cigarettes and a hobby, but then there are people like me, the people that are told they are incapable of doing the same things as everyone else, the people that live in a constant fear because of a mental health condition, and for people like me, vaping is a lifeline. I have gone from feeling like I’m never going to be able to do things I want to do, to feeling that I can do anything, even if it takes me a little longer and I have to learn slightly different ways of doing it. This time last year, I was pretty much housebound by anxiety, I’d go to the corner shop with my brother to get baccy and that was about it and even then I only did that because no one would buy my baccy for me, to going out on a regular basis and socialising and enjoying myself. Yes, the guys at SpaceInvapers are initially there to run a business and sell me things but they have also become my friends and I end up going down to chat to them more than I do because I’m in need of supplies.
Vaping is so much more than a community in my eyes. A community is a collection of people with a shared common interest. Vaping? Vaping is acceptance and friendships. It’s help when you need it. It’s a passion. No one cares what you look like. Pierced, tattooed, big, little, male, female, and everything else, no one gives a damn. There is an unspoken code, or at least I think so, that we all agree on and that’s make clouds and don’t be an asshole.
