April Fools: Kekkai Sensen Edition

Elizabeth

She has never participated in the holiday before and has no inclination to start now (she does know the origins of the holiday however and would be happy to explain it to you)

Though Leo did prank her with a sticky note on her back that read 'hug me' (which was found and removed by Steven and Klaus before anyone else could see it)

Klaus still offered a hug afterwards (Elizabeth would never turn down a Klaus hug)

Zapp however found a second easiest target (since Elizabeth just isn't expecting anyone to be as inconsiderate as to spread glitter and confetti across the office)

Poor Elizabeth had to be "rescued" by Zed, Leo, and Chain who went through a long list of pranks to get back at Zapp with

However Elizabeth was extremely reluctant to pull off any of them (because even if Steven were to intimidate Zapp into cleaning up, there's no guarantee that Zapp will clean it properly and leave more work for Gilbert)

She eventually agreed to a "double" prank where Zapp got covered in glitter and Elizabeth 'took forever' to figure out how to work a hand vacuum (she intentionally had it set to the lowest setting... though Zapp got nasty about it, insulting her potential as a house wife and saying Klaus got lucky he didn't rush the marriage... for which Elizabeth went ballistic and read him for filth before anyone else could step in)

Sapphina

One of her favorite holidays (toss between April Fool's and Halloween) and she's out to prank everyone... except Steven because she is a little afraid of Steven's wrath

She has pranked Klaus the same way every year she's been in Libra, giving him fake plants that he genuinely appreciates (though Sapphina feels guilty about it and sneakily replaces them with real plants a couple weeks later/before Klaus can notice)

She has told Chain there's something in her hair 3 times before Chain caught on, and similarly repeatedly tells Zed his pods look they aren't attached right (he keeps falling for it even though he's certain she's just messing with him... but what if she isn't this time)

Pranking Leo was almost too easy for Sapphina, she's faked him out by tapping his shoulder, pulled the "something on your shirt" nose flick, and tripped him so she could "save his life" by catching him

However Zapp got the worst of her pranks by far, as the main target of her pranks. From poppers to ice buckets to confetti and glitter to a plethora of sticky notes with varying mean things slapped across his back (she helped with the majority of clean up but Zapp never discovered the sticky notes until he was five drinks deep in a bar)

Technically she and Zapp were in a prank war, but Sapphina won by a mile

Izzy

She hasn't even noticed what day it is... she is more concerned with her current project because she's been asked to headline the next fashion runway event and she heard several rumors about top name fashion designers in attendance

She does NOT notice when Leo salts her coffee (it wasn't that bad) just giving him a confused look as he giggles

Izzy has her workshop set up in an unused closet (as usual because she uses a pocket dimension in case she's needed for a mission)

Zapp has been trying to prank her all day but to no avail (whether it was Steven or Klaus stopping him or Izzy's own non-interest in interacting with anyone)

Though he did eventually "get" her by spilling water on her project

Izzy went ballistic on impact, Leo instantly "confiscated" her parasol while Klaus held her back by the upper arms; waiting for her to calm down as she cussed Zapp out while kicking)

Lily

Chaos Gremlin Mode Unlocked

She loves this holiday and goes all out on pranking everyone at least once throughout the day

Leo is lowkey cowering in fear of what Lily has planned for the day

Steven got the lightest prank with Lily putting a travel coffee mug lid on his cup

She pranked Klaus so much with "could you open this for me please?" but she helped clean up the glitter and confetti so Steven doesn't get involved

Though she did dump three trays of ice cubes into Zed's tank, annoy Chain, Leo, and Zed with random statements about things being wrong with their outfits/hair/teeth, and almost convinced Gilbert his gloves were inside-out

However this was the day she would get plenty of revenge on Zapp for all the "rookie" and "pube-face" comments he'd lodged at her and Leo...

Lily went all out with buckets of water, fake snakes tied to his ankle/belt, confetti bombs, and eventually dropped a large ice cube down the back of his shirt which he had to dance around for nearly five minutes since his shirt is tucked into his pants

There was nothing Zapp, or anyone could do to prank her back in a meaningful way

signs as things in my childhood bedroom

aries: the selfie stick that was placed in my drawer while i was gone. it’s not mine. it’s not anyone’s in this house. the bluetooth doesn’t connect and it almost broke my phone. 

taurus: an old picture of me and my brother at disney world in 2000 doing one of those photo things where you pose and its superimposed onto a cartoon background. i’m fist-bumping minnie mouse. mickey has my brother’s elbow in a death grip.

gemini: the blanket that my ex stole from target when we were 16 that, two years later, led me to becoming friends with my current partner because he also had the same blanket. which he bought with his own money, probably.

cancer: my drawer full of mugs and old creative writing work from undergrad. can’t let go of my shitty poetry or the seven mugs that i don’t use, so i might as well keep both :-)

leo: the cd of thunderstorm sounds that my partner made for me five years ago, put in a paper sleeve with a repeating picture of our friend peter wearing a very bright patterned shirt.

virgo: a little dog puppet. you know those little wooden toys where if you push the button on the bottom it makes the whole figure go limp? that one. the dog has a red scarf and a knowing grin. the label’s all in german but part of it says “ANGABEN AUFBEWAHREN !” on it so that’s fun.

libra: the not one, not two, but five angel figurines positioned so that you’re under constant scrutiny while in the room. i only noticed this after i told the receptionist at the hospital that i’m not lutheran anymore while my dad was standing right behind me.

scorpio: my grandmother’s bedroom set that she left for me in her will when she died. which was the day after mother’s day. on my 14th birthday. (no worries, she didn’t die in the bed, though i’m always afraid i’m going to see her in one of the mirrors at night. it’s been ten years.)

sagittarius: a journal that i had started taping printed out tumblr memes into in 2016. includes timeless classics such as “discuss: the impact of avril lavigne’s girlfriend on naruto shipping culture in 2007,” “drop kick me jesus thru the goal post of life,” and of course, “randy your sticks.” i was 21 years old.

capricorn: the three masks that have been hanging on the wall since i was ten. two of them are the classic :) and :( theater ones, but between them is the big lady one with pink lips and gold details. kind of scary in the dark but you’re safe as long as you don’t stare at them too long. i liked braiding the tie strings when i was younger.

aquarius: either the singing plush flower that my dad gifted me for valentine’s day in 2004, or the colorful glass jester sitting four feet away from it. both are in my closet alongside various german and american girl dolls. either way there’s about twenty pairs of eyes on you as soon as you open the door.

pisces: a set of tiny, tiiiiny dogs and cats to put into a terrarium. i never got around to doing it but that itty bitty basset hound figurine gives me the heart and will to go on. i’ll give them a home one day.

For the weird asks: 1, 15, 20, 43, 62 :)

THANKS ANON <3

1. coffee mugs, teacups, wine glasses, water bottles, or soda cans?

Well I drink quite a bit of diet coke so I always have soda cans around, but of the above I prefer coffee mugs by far! I don’t actually drink coffee, I drink hot chocolate, so my mugs are Hot Chocolate Mugs :P They’re so versatile! You can drink hot chocolate, coffee (iced or hot!), tea (iced or hot!), wine, water, or soda out of them! And you can always find them in cool patterns and designs. I have a Libra mug that is my absolute favorite, it’s white with a gold rim, gold flared handle, golden lettering and gold stars sprinkled all over.

15. favorite book you read as a school assignment?

Oh man, probably a tie between The Goblet of Fire (my favorite HP book) and The Secret Life of Bees. JKR discourse not withstanding, GoF just immediately reeled me in as a 14 year old (which is funny, because I had to read Prisoner of Azkaban in 8th grade and didn’t care for it much), and basically was the start of my love affair with the series. SLoB was my kind of sweet but sharp, and I think it affected me more than I realized re: race as a white teenager. I haven’t read it in 10 years so I can’t remember if it was problematic in places, but I loved the sisters and her caretaker, I loved the boy she falls in love with, and I loved her finding herself, cause I think I felt lost at the time myself.

20. preferred place to write (i.e., in a note book, on your laptop, sketchpad, post-it notes, etc.)?

Definitely laptop! I prefer to do handwritten journaling, but I’m getting older and my hand starts cramping much faster than it used to. For novels and fics, definitely laptop. My hand cannot keep up with my ADHD brain. I find it blasphemous to write on a sketchpad! They’re for sketching!! Post its are fine when you gotta work with what you got -- I worked in the Food Ave at Target when I was 18, and I would write satire of my experiences and interactions with customers/coworkers on receipt tape.

43. hoodie, leather jacket, cardigan, jean jacket or bomber jacket?

I am a hoodie girl, through and through, and have been since I was a teenager and would get a hoodie for each show we did in theatre (I still have my Whitewash hoodie, and have worn it so much in the last 14 years that it is going threadbare -- I finally retired it because it was getting too scratchy.... I put it in a plastic container with my show t shirts in order to preserve the artwork on the back).

I like the idea of bomber jackets, but they look absolutely terrible on me, I think because of my body shape? I have an hourglass figure (and big boobs/hips) so they make me look super boxy and thicker than I am. The same problem often happens with leather jackets, but I really want a leather jacket -- preferably a maroon/burgundy one.

I do own a jean jacket and cardigans, for specific looks (usually for acting stuff).

62. seven characters you relate to?

WOW that’s a lot uhhhhhhhh

Lorelai Gilmore (cause I, too, make awkward jokes when I’m uncomfortable or put on the spot, I run away from things when they get hard, but I also am a good friend who comes through, who can apologize when I need to, and am just soft and squishy inside of a hard shell, desperately seeking love I felt wasn’t often given when I was a child)

Rachel Green (I cry easily, about everything, sensitive, I can be oblivious in sometimes painful ways, I can be selfish, but I am ride or die for my friends and stand up for myself when I need to)

Katara (I, too, am the mom friend who can be really sweet and warm or really scary. I can be judgmental and just... a bitch sometimes. I’m controlling and like things a certain way. But I care deeply, not just about my friends/family but everyone and the world around me.)

Chandler Bing (Awkward, snarky, desperate for love, charming at random times, terrifyingly odd at others)

Rio (I am also petty, dramatic, emotional, controlling, and do things I know I shouldn’t do because I’ll regret it later but that’s a problem for later Rio/Meghan, think I’m a step ahead when often times I’m not, smart but also somehow so fucking dumb, bi as fuck, black eyes, lonely, desiring a nose stud even if it may not be the best choice all things considered)

Wynonna Earp (emotional disaster, would kill for the people I love, broken and confused and damaged but trying her best, attracted to and in love with Xavier Dolls, drawn to other disasters (be they people or events), very hard shell hiding a very gooey center, uses sex as therapy and often regrets it, TERRIBLE impulse control, bi as fuck, has to take care of everyone else but refuses to take care of herself)

Judy Hale (Soft bisexual, emotional, sensitive, self flagellating, yearning, chaotic disaster, a little crazy, huge heart, romantically attached to men she shouldn’t be, tolerating abusive behavior then internalizing it, sweet) I am actually terrifyingly similar to Judy, ngl. She should be at the top of this list.

(THAT WAS HARD)

Send me a Weird Ask (that says a lot)

Watch: Facebook’s Libra coin explained simply

They’re not called Zuckerbucks but Facebook just reinvented digital money. Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency that will launch early next year is more like PayPal than Bitcoin — it’s designed to be easy enough for everyone to use. But it’s still complicated to understand so I’m going to break it down for you nice and simple.

Watch our handy video above or read the transcript below.

Libra is like cash that lives inside your phone. How do you buy Facebook’s cryptocurrency? Starting in 2020, you’ll be able to purchase Libra through Libra wallet apps on your phone or from some local grocery and convenience stores. You cash in your local currency like dollars and get nearly the same number of Libra coins, which are represented by this wavy three line emoji instead of the $ symbol. But first you’ll have to verify your identity with a photo

You’ll then be able to spend your Libra while online shopping, or potentially pay for things like Ubers or your subscription for Spotify since those companies have partnered with Facebook to make Libra popular. Since it’s almost free to digital move Libra from one account to the other, you won’t have to pay high credit card processing fees that can add almost 4% to your total. And some Libra wallet apps and shops will give bonus discounts or free coins for signing up and paying with Libra.

You’ll also be able to send and request money from friends like you would with Venmo or PayPal. It’s as easy to send Libra as it is a message. In fact, Facebook is building its own Libra wallet app called Calibra that will live inside of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and its own standalone app.

  You won’t have to attach your real name and identity to any of your payments, but they will be public. Facebook knows it’s a little bit creepy and you probably don’t want it spying on what you buy. So Facebook set up a new company also called Calibra that will keep all your financial data separate from your Facebook profile. That means it can’t use your transaction data to target you with ads, re-order your News Feed, or sell your info to marketers.

Eventually, Facebook hopes you’ll use Libra to pay your bills, scan your wallet’s QR code to purchase coffee, or tap your phone to buy your public transit ticket. At any time, you can cash out of Libra and get your local currency back in your bank account, or handed to you at a local grocery store.

  But how does the Libra cryptocurrency technically work…without a bunch blockchain buzzwords? Libra is coded to have a stable price, be secure, and be controlled not just by Facebook.

Instead, Libra is run by the 28 member Libra Association that it hopes will grow to 100 members by the time it launches in the first half of 2020. Financial companies like Visa and MasterCard, merchants and apps like eBay and Lyft, venture capital funds like Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures, and non-profits like Kiva are all members. They each paid at at least $10 million to get one vote on the Libra council that controls what happens to the currency. They’ll be responsible for checking to make sure Libra transactions are real and creating the Libra Reserve

Each time you cash in a dollar, that money goes into big bank account called the Libra Reserve that creates and sends you roughly one Libra token. The Libra Reserve is made up of a collection of the most stable international currencies like the US Dollar, British Pound, the Euro, and the Japanese yen. The idea is that even if one of those currencies goes up or down in price, the value of the Libra will stay stable. That way, shops will accept the Libra as payment without worrying the value of the coin will drop tomorrow. Big swings in price are why older cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereal haven’t grown popular as payment methods. Libra can also handle 1000 transactions per second, while Bitcoin can only handle 7.

So how do Facebook and the other Libra Association members earn money? Off of interest on all the assets held in the Libra Reserve. After the Libra Association pays for its operations and investments in technology, member earns a cut of the remaining interest in proportion to how much they invested when they joined. If Libra gets popular, tons of people cash in, and the reserve grows huge, the Interest could add up to serious revenue for Facebook.

But there’s also a subtle second way Facebook could get rich from Libra. If the currency makes it easier for small businesses to accept payments online, they’ll sell more stuff. They’ll then have extra money to spend on Facebook ads, which will make it extra quick to buy things with Libra. 90 million small businesses already have Facebook Pages, but only Facebook only has 7 million advertisers. If it can turn more of those local merchants into ad buyers, Facebook’s revenues could skyrocket.

The big risk of Libra is that anyone will be able to develop apps for it. That could lead to another Cambridge Analytica situation. But instead of some shady app maker snatching your personal info, they could steal your digital currency. Facebook and the Libra Association say they won’t vet Libra developers, which leaves the door wide open to abuse. And if people get scammed, they’ll blame Facebook.

But if Facebook succeeds, the real win could be for the 1.7 billion people left in poverty with no bank account around the world. They’re exploited by international money sending services like Western Union or Monogram that charge steep 7% fees that take $50 billion away from families per year. And if they’re mugged, they could lose all their money since they have nothing stored online. All they’ll need is a photo ID and Libra could give them an alternative to a bank account that’s tougher to steal and could make it easy to pay for what they need.

There are plenty of reasons to worry that Libra could give Facebook and other tech giants more power or lead to people getting scammed. But it could also give disadvantaged people everywhere a way to join the modern economy. And at least it’s not called FaceCoin.
