Referring to this~

OMG! I read the Q&A but IS IT TRUE? Im so excited 😳👉👈 Ummmm may i req then? Not for the event, but just a general req 😌 A scenario/hcs of Leona with fem!s/o where s/o needs comfort & gets spoiled cz she's having burnout due to all of the incidents on NRC~ I hope this is not too much, if u want to change the plot it's ok, thank u & have a nice day 😳✨

I See Right Through You...

Leona x FEM! S/O

warnings: leaning on to very angsty, cursing, personal issues

Berry: I'M FINALLY BACK AA-💀 just wrapped up some things and you should have some of the requests from the events roll around within the month or so 😣 I changed a bit of it but the overall theme is the same just something that hits a little too close to home ;=; Special Thanks to my lovely friends Len and Luna who helped me out with this one ❤️❤️

"This isn't me wanting some semblance of pity, You can keep it for all I care- I'm so goddamn tired but did I ever ask to be in Twisted Wonderland? Oh don't get me started..." "Did I ask to be Crowley's clean up crew? Did I ask to be in the middle of every. fucking. issue?"

"Sometimes I'd like to be the damsel-but sevens forbid the woman wanting to be saved from all the stupid stress of this world."

"Well I'm so sorry for complaining over a job I didn't ask for but hey- we're in a magical school full fun and dreams, cuz that's sure to make up for ALL the unnecessary emotional and physical labor!" Your voice cracked as you forced a cheery smile.

Leona wasn't expecting you to snap at him when he wanted to mess with you for just a little bit. He had observed you from afar for quite some time now. And most importantly, he wasn't a stranger to people putting up a face for other's sake.

His emerald gaze would glint over your figure as he studies the creases in your eyes from all the work you've been doing. He'd always wondered how much you could take, often times giving you snarky or witty advices in hopes to get you out of your doormat cycle.

He admitted what the Head-mage was doing is a bit too far. He was kinda impressed on how you pushed on with that fiery and stubborn heart of yours.

A sadistic part of him wanted to see when you'll break

He wanted to see you bite back

He anticipated it even more when multiple students come to you for help increased by the day;

You nodded along as Ace and Deuce were once again asking help in doing their chores back at Heartslabyul, you laughed it off as one of their usual antics.

You happily agreed when Kalim invited you to one of his many celebrations despite just finished with your cleanup at Ramshackle, your smile didn't reach you. Those glassy eyes of yours, shifting downwards to hide the reluctance.

It was an asshole move of him in all honesty.

Not lending out a helping a hand but he knew you were capable. For fuck's sake you got him AND his dorm to help you out during Azul's little "tantrum".

He wanted you to overcome this on your own. However, he had an oversight on how much you can take on the world alongside his bullshit attempt of support.

Leona had happened to pass by a class with the door wide open, his lions ears perked at the ongoing conversation.

"Phyn, you're in our group." One student spoke up. "Oh hell yeah, thanks dude!" Another cheered, followed by the sound of a high-five.

"-And I guess that's everyone.. Oh (Y/N)..hmm I guess you and Grim would be a duo, every other's group is already filled up." "Uh.." You chuckled with a loppy smile. "No worries, at least I get to stay in my dorm this time." The class chuckled at your comment and nodded along. As the groups filed out chatting amongst each other, he took lighter steps walking closely behind you.

It wasn't until you reached the entrance of Ramshackle is when you finally noticed him. Which led to the situation right now. "Why the long face herbivore, where's the can-do attitude I know and adore~?"

Your hands balled into fists, shaking as tears were running down your eyes.

"This isn't me wanting some semblance of pity, You can keep it for all I care- I'm so goddamn tired but did I ever ask to be in Twisted Wonderland? Oh don't get me started..." "Did I ask to be Crowley's clean up crew? Did I ask to be in the middle of every. fucking. issue?"

'Shit...' He said mentally.

"Let's...do this inside. We don't want anyone gawking at ya like this." He laid a hand behind your back inside and joined you not before he scanned the area for any curious on-lookers.

He leaned against the side of the wall of the living room, listening to your continued rant. Throwing hands and even had the strength to throw away the innocent coffee table in the middle, Its legs breaking into splinters as soon as it hit impact onto the cold hard floor. "-WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME WHO HAS TO FIX THINGS?" You exclaimed towards the pillow you threw towards the ground.

"Helping fix things is nice and all.." You sniffled. "But is it really so wrong to want that shit in return?"

He knew it was bad but he wanted to see how far you're flames would burn him. He wanted it to hurt-what you've been going through, he knows he can take it.

"You're ranting to the wrong person, go off on Crowley, yell at your classmates for ignoring ya. Tell that red-head and blue-haired friend of yours to fuck off and do their own stupid chores." "Be fucking selfish for once herbivore, Treat yourself to a nice nap-"

"-Oh what? like you? I'm not you Leona." You retorted back. "For fuck sakes you were born here-you were supposed to exist in this plane of existence while I got chucked out of mine." "You say I exist here but I'm one of the least wanted given my 'cheery' attitude. At the very least I know when to stand my guard." You huffed as you sat on the couch, tears still spilling from your eyes. "Is this your way of helping me? because I could clearly feel the love right now..." Leona let out a dry chuckle as he walked over to you. His imposing figure casts a shadow over you but as you gaze at his eyes, there was a lingering feeling of warmth. "Dont be like me." He shook his head. "Sevens, I hope you don't end up like me, but what I'm trying to say is..." His voiced trailed as he looked at your shaking form.

A memory sliced through him for a second. For a brief moment he saw his little self all those years ago in the visage of you. "In a campus full of these jackasses in NRC-including myself sometimes, I... I see right through you." He awkwardly patted your back. "I know it sucks but don't do that shit to yourself where you thought 'hey, I know who to look for if I'm in a room full of folks I adore, but who would look for me?'" Leona had a distant look as he stared at the broken table in the middle of the dorm. "Look for yourself first, look for that little corner of your room to be selfish with what you want to do. Worry about the details later." You cleared your throat as you steal a soft glance at him "You may not be the best and most unlikely to look for advice." The air seemed to change as the both of you share a soft laugh. "But you get right to the point...even though you could've done something much earlier." "What's the fun in that?" He raised an eyebrow. "Besides, You don't need a king's help in chess, a queen...has all the moves she needs."

Leona was surprised to hear your melodic laughter, belting out through your still falling tears at his small comment. "Oh my God Leona you did not just-" You wiped a tear as you smiled at him. He felt a flutter in his chest from the way you're looking at him now. "Well you did just say, I'm not the best." He smirked.

The tense feeling in his shoulder now dissipated as he settled himself on the couch strangely close to you, a tiny voice inside him wondered why. Seeing you smile even though you just murdered the poor coffee table not too long ago is a sign to him he did his job.

It's certainly weird but it's you. People may not look for you or choose you in a room full other characters from their lives, but you can trust that there's always a lion beastman just out in hallway, willing to stand with you through it all.

Hi hello pookie

:glancescutely: Your Highly Unconventional KC.

Gimmie gimmie.

jk i just wanna know the science/reason behind KC's "cold to the touch even when overheating" function teehee

is it just cz he's a lunar model, or could be his magik?

either way, gimmie gimmie omnomnom

(me literally having been pulling up your account *while* walking out of work cz i was thinking about this when doing closing duties, im hungry, feed me Peepaw Alex)

Okay so actually there is reason to my whimsy. I have very specific temperature headcanons for the DCA, and it's generally due to being a solar or lunar model. It just is my own little teehee, but I'll list them out from hottest to coldest (I'll even include the AUs (and mine), and also the computers bc they're modeled after DCA.). Degrees are in Fahrenheit.

Also, this post is gonna be fucking long. The temperature reactions are based on a human reaction, for reference of just how hot/cold it is.

115 and above: Extremely hot. It would feel painful to touch almost immediately, risking burns with prolonged contact. Kronos (Lord Eclipse)

110: Very hot. It would feel almost painfully hot, like touching something straight out of a hot bath. Francis - Helios (Dark Sun)

105: Very hot. It would feel very hot to the touch, and uncomfortable to touch for too long. Eclipse - Dawn (Swap Sun)

100: Hot. It would feel very hot, like holding a hot water bottle. Milo and Ilo (OG Computer AIs) - Dolus (Supernova - Eclipse)

95: Hot. It would feel hot, like touching the side of a mug of hot coffee. Solar - Moros (Servant Eclipse) - Morpheus (Supernova)

90: Warm to hot. It would feel hot but not painful, like touching warm skin. Spaniard - Chips (RESET - OC Eclipse) - Helios (Supernova - Solar)

85: Warm. It would feel quite warm, similar to touching something that has been in the sun for a while. Sunrise - Solstice (Swap Eclipse) - Eos (Lonely Sun) - Sol (Supernova - Sun)

80: Warm. It would feel comfortably warm, like a warm bath. Solar Flare - Jack - Apollo (Ruin's Sun) - Freyja (Supernova - Sun)

75: Warm. It would feel slightly warm, like touching something that has been sitting in a warm room. Angel (Solar's Sun) - Cruis (Servant Sun) - Nebula (Supernova)

70: Neutral. It would feel neutral to slightly warm, very close to average room temperature. Cora (Swap Solar Flare) - Charon (Supernova - Sun) - Caeli (Supernova - Solar Flare)

65: Neutral. It would feel close to room temperature, neither warm nor cool. Ruin - Earth - Gaia (Evil Earth) - Geb (Supernova - Earth) - Janus (Supernova) - Vixen (Supernova)

60: Slightly cool. It would feel mildly cool, a bit cooler than room temperature. Lulu (RESET - OC Lunar) - Space (Swap Earth) - Artemis (Ruin's Moon) - Khonsu (Feral Moon) - Lola (Supernova - Lunar)

55: Slightly cool. It would feel cool but not unpleasant, like touching something kept in a cool room. Moondrop - Selene (Swap Lunar) - Sanguine (Supernova - Bloodmoon) - Aporia (Supernova) - Ariadne (Supernova)

50: Cool. It would feel refreshingly cool, similar to touching a cold drink can. Bloodmoon (Blood/Harvest) - Nexus - Clementine (Supernova - Bloodmoon)

45: Cool. It would feel noticeably cool but not uncomfortable for short periods. Crescent (Solar's Moon) - Sentry (Swap Killcode) - Haze (Supernova - Lunar)

40: Cool. It would feel chilly to the touch but not painful. Prolonged contact might make your skin feel numb. Lunar - Vanth (RESET - OC Lunar) - Equinox (Swap Moon) - Eris (Supernova - Bloodmoon) - Luna (Supernova - Moon)

35: Cold. It would feel brisk and unpleasant but not unbearable for brief contact. Your skin would start to feel numb after a few moments. Styx (Lord Lunar) - Luctus (Supernova - Lunar) - Phobos (Supernova - Moon)

30: Cold. It would feel uncomfortably chilly, and your skin would quickly start to feel numb. Killcode - Huntermoon (Swap Bloodmoon - Hunter/Wolf) - Rigel (Supernova)

25: Very cold. It would cause an immediate shock to the skin, feeling like a sharp, biting cold. Bloom (Vanth/Moon) - Deimos (Supernova - Killcode)

20: Very cold. It would feel very uncomfortable, and your skin would start to go entirely numb after a short period. Frank

15 and below: Extremely cold. Touching this would cause a stinging pain almost immediately, and prolonged contact could lead to frostbite. Nyx (Evil Lunar)

To specifically answer why certain animatronic's outward temperature doesn't change, regardless of if they are powered off, overheating, in a freezing environment, etc. Yes it does have to do with their composition, which might be affected by magic or even star power.

(Positive) relationship shit below

The breakup with Mx Toxic has made me realise I should be taking my relationship with Raven more seriously. With my improving mental health I can be their rock and now the other guy is out of it I feel like I can express my affection for Raven without causing drama with Mx Toxic. Raven and I have also been together for more than 10 years! When we got together we were a 'cis+hetero' couple lol, now we are both trans and gay. To begin with we wanted to get married and have at least one kid, now we both dislike the idea of marriage and are antinatalists <3

While I don't want to get married or have a ceremony or anything I do want some kind of symbol of our undying love and the bond we have that is clearly not going anywhere, so I asked if they would like if we got rings. They said yes! Unfortunately we are also on a budget so we can't drop thousands on AMAZING rings (would take anything from Nick Von K). Other limitations include my goddamned allergy to nickel and wanting to keep the rings looking fine for a while, at least until we can afford to replace them, so I've had to be looking at least at gold vermeil (a little thicker than electroplated, thinner and cheaper than gold filled & solid gold) or sterling silver (I don't like silver).

I originally wanted something kind of rough/hammered gold with a garnet or maybe an opal or something interesting in it, somewhere between these

(x, x)

But here are some I've been looking at below that we COULD afford and I wanna know what you all (anyone who's reading this) thinks about them:

From Lucid & Luna, NZ, heavily ft. Moonstone lol

Honestly lots of nice and reasonably priced rings at Moon Magic, USA but I don't know the company and feel slightly funny about ordering from the USA tbh

Patterned bands from MasteRetsaM on Etsy that I also love

One of many nice rings at Kirstin Ash, Aus, but they're priced for quality...

Really nice but nicely priced ring from Bixby & co, Aus, with recycled glass instead of gemstones!

Just a proper sized, gold filled band with a solitaire CZ from J&Co, USA.

Rings that are a bit more fun from Thaya, from... USA?? The fun designs make me waver from my preference for gold but I also don't have to deal with the enamel chipping or weathering off.

A selection from Etsy (x, x, x). It's not easy wading through the junk on there

Or, we could just...

WELL. I have a lot of favourites rn. It would be difficult for jay to get arrested; he's dating the sheriff, and will absolutely sweet talk his way out of it, but he runs a black market so. Probably that.

Luna, well... She's got a lot going on. But probably either involvement with the black market or all her war crimes (that none of her friends know about)

Rhyan is the aforementioned sheriff, so he probably wouldn't do anything worthy of arrest. But if he did it would probably be for covering for Jay.

Kearney is Rhyan's deputy, so also probably wouldn't do anything, but possibly assault (he is SICK of the hate he gets)

Other universe ocs;

Charity wouldn't. She wouldn't do anything, cz she's terrified of confrontation.

Odile... Theft. Definitely theft.

Darrel; drunk driving (accidentally!)

Sabrina; she also wouldn't. They're too nice.

Christie: assault.

OTHER other universe ocs

Sage - assault. (It's okay ze's just defending zyr girlfriend)

Venus - illegal transgender operations in prisons /silly (realistically though? being an alien.)

SILLY OC LORE CHALLENGE!!!

If your favorite oc got arrested, what would they be getting arrested for? Reblog with the answer! Add as many or as little as you want! :3 I wanna know more about your OCS!!! I’ll go first!

Promni: It would be hard for her to get arrested since she’s a creator but if she did it would be aggravated assault she’s not mentally stable at all and sometimes she just snaps.

Galactic: Theft for sure, she’s stealing Beanie Boos. Also a creator but she’s way too obvious about what she does. If she’s caught she will cry.

Devon: Mass murder. No more context for his lore unless asked.

Prometheus: Murder, he accidentally kills people more often than he realizes. Malfunctioning powers are quite dangerous after all!

Winston: Tax fraud, he’s rich what did you expect.

@luckystarluminary @mythically15 @nightfox67 join :3 others please join too I must know about your OCS.

I would like to add more details to K's story. The real K from Spotify later turned out to be a friend of Luna (the director of Hoard), who had given music advice. She is a lesbian with a child. Spotify is all about Joe's job. Even the most absurd lists were related to job. The latest information says that he followed CZ because she in turn did a series on the Roman Empire and being from Rome it is possible that she helped Joe in getting information on Caracalla. The role he will play in Gladiator. He will never make personal lists.

Do you think cumcum was for that scene in hoard?

Головні новини світу криптовалют за 29 грудня

Дослідники CryptoRank розповіли про головні новини за минулу добу. Вони підкреслили, що в останні 24 години в криптовалютній індустрії відбулося кілька цікавих подій. Експерти відзначили, 5 ключових інфоприводів за 29 грудня 2023 року. Аналітики дослідницької компанії нагадали, що Індія активно вживає заходів щодо блокування URL-адрес неліцензованих, на території країни, криптовалютних бірж. Тим часом глобальна база користувачів торгової платформи Binance перевищила 170 млн облікових записів. Цей показник зріс приблизно на 30% за минулий рік. Крім того суд визнав, що токени LUNA і MIR, випущені скандально відомою компанією Terraform Labs, є цінними паперами. Спільнота PancakeSwap остаточно прийняла пропозицію про скорочення загальної пропозиції токенів CAKE на 300 млн. Таким чином, 4 січня 20234 року, цей показник буде скорочено з 750 млн CAKE до 450 млн CAKE. Нарешті, сума депозитів у протоколі Blast досягла 1,1 млрд. Binance - одна з провідних криптовалютних бірж у світі, заснована в липні 2017 року Чанпеном Чжао (CZ). Вона пропонує широкий спектр послуг, включно з торгівлею різними цифровими активами, засобами для зберігання віртуальних валют, платіжними системами та багатьом іншим. Платформа отримала визнання завдяки високій ліквідності, надійності та великому вибору торгових пар. Binance також запустила свою власну криптовалюту BNB (Binance Coin). Керівництво активно розвиває екосистему через Binance Launchpad (платформа для проведення IEO) і безліч інших продуктів і послуг. Terraform Labs - це блокчейн-компанія, що стоїть за розробкою скандальної криптовалюти Terra (LUNA). Компанія також випустила стабільну монету TerraUSD (UST), чия вартість відв'язалася від долара США. Це спровокувало кризу на ринку криптовалют у 2022 році. Read the full article

[mariacallous]

The world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty yesterday to criminal charges in the US, releasing a wave of pent-up tension that had hung over the crypto industry for years.

Zhao, who also went by CZ, was one of the poster boys for crypto’s freewheeling and rebellious spirit, which hearkens back to the origins of the technology, built to undergird a parallel financial system outside the control of any government or bank. Under his leadership, Binance grew to become by far the world’s largest crypto exchange, but frequently clashed with regulators in the US and elsewhere. The company refused to establish a formal headquarters. According to the criminal indictment filed against Zhao in the US, he “prioritized growth and profits over compliance” and sought to take advantage of what he described as the “gray zone.” Zhao instructed employees that it was “better to ask for forgiveness than permission,” the indictment states.

Although Zhao frequently tried to shrug off criticism of Binance on X, formerly Twitter, the investigation into the firm by the US Department of Justice was an open secret. It was also a source of collective anxiety for stakeholders across the industry, in which Binance had become deeply entrenched. If the exchange were to have buckled under the stress of a criminal conviction, the damage to investors would have been catastrophic and the ripple effects far-reaching.

The agreement cut between Binance and the DOJ—under which the exchange must pay a $4.3 billion penalty, operate under tightened supervision by US authorities, and replace Zhao as CEO—is among the best possible outcomes for crypto. “It cleans up the industry’s image,” says market analyst Noelle Acheson, formerly of crypto brokerage Genesis. “Zhao could have laid low in any one of a number of no-extradition jurisdictions,” she says, but his guilty plea sends the message that Binance “wants to work with regulators going forward.”

There is an extent to which Zhao was the last of his breed. In the wake of the collapse of crypto markets in May 2022, which brought to an end a period of frenzied hype and reckless spending that sent the price of crypto tokens to record highs, many of the industry’s figureheads have either been charged with or convicted of felonies. In February, the US government brought charges against Do Kwon, creator of the Terra-Luna stablecoin whose collapse in spring 2022 tipped the first fateful domino in the industry. In July, the DOJ charged Alex Mashinsky, founder of bankrupt crypto lender Celsius, with “orchestrating a scheme to defraud customers.” Earlier this month, Sam Bankman-Fried, leader of crypto exchange FTX and archrival to Zhao, was found guilty of overseeing a multibillion-dollar fraud.

Binance’s new chief executive is of a pointedly different flavor, though. Replacing Zhao is Richard Teng, a former regulator who has little public profile. Teng had been tipped as a successor to Zhao since his promotion to head of regional markets at Binance in June, though he refused to be drawn on the question in an interview with crypto outlet CoinDesk at the time. He previously held the role of head of Asia, Europe, and MENA at the exchange.

A source with knowledge of the company’s succession plan tells WIRED that Teng is well respected among Binance employees and a popular choice for the role.

Acheson says the appointment of Teng—formerly CEO at Abu Dhabi Global Market, a financial regulator in the United Arab Emirates—can be interpreted as another sign that “Binance wants to cooperate with regulators.”

The agreement between Binance and the DOJ “signals a regime change in the industry,” says Nic Carter, general partner at crypto VC firm Castle Island Ventures. “The paradigm of offshore, largely unregulated exchanges running rings around their onshore, more regulated counterparts is over … [The deal] makes it clear you can’t win by refusing to follow the rules.”

The “optics of the deal” might be “challenging” in the medium term, says Carter, giving “more ammo to folks on the Hill that consider crypto a tool for illicit finance.” But overall, he says, the feeling is one of “relief.”

In his first post on X after taking the role, Teng signaled that his experience in the regulatory sphere will dictate his approach to steering Binance, which had charted a more unpredictable course under Zhao. “To ensure a bright future, I intend to use everything I’ve learned over the past three decades of financial services and regulatory experience to guide our remarkable, innovative, and committed team,” Teng wrote.

In a public statement detailing its settlement with the DOJ, Binance struck a similar tone. “Binance has been systematically working to restructure our organization and personnel, upgrade our systems, and establish a new industry standard in compliance,” it said. The word “compliance” appears in the statement on 20 separate occasions.

According to Bloomberg Report, Binance’s much-heralded $1 billion Industry Recovery Initiative (IRI) has significantly underperformed. Launched as a lifeline for a challenging market, the IRI has invested a mere $30 million of its massive commitment, raising eyebrows and skepticism. The Genesis: The IRI’s Lofty AspirationsConceived in the wake of a series of market catastrophes, including the Terra-LUNA debacle and the FTX exchange collapse, Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao announced the Industry Recovery Initiative with the promise of stabilizing the turbulent crypto market. Supported by powerhouses like Jump Crypto and Polygon Ventures, the initiative aimed to fund struggling firms and rejuvenate investor interest.Despite significant backing and a $1 billion commitment in Binance’s BUSD stablecoin, the IRI has invested just $30 million. Its investments covered only 14 undisclosed projects and one acquisition—South Korean crypto exchange Gopax. This modest performance has left industry observers puzzled and disappointed.The Initiative’s challenges were compounded by the regulatory environment, most notably the SEC’s lawsuits against crypto giants, including Binance and Coinbase. Operation Choke Point 2.0 further muddied the waters, forcing the IRI to convert its remaining funds into Bitcoin, BNB, and Ethereum due to increased scrutiny around stablecoins.Interestingly, Binance moved the remaining $985 million back to its corporate treasury, ostensibly due to “growing regulatory concerns.” Such a move casts a long shadow on the initiative’s original intentions and has fueled further speculation about its ultimate goals.Market Impact: Confidence Takes a HitThe IRI’s lackluster performance couldn’t have come at a worse time. With venture capital funding in crypto-related ventures plunging by 70%, according to analytics firm Messari, the failure of such a high-profile initiative is likely to erode investor confidence further.The failure of Binance’s IRI raises uncomfortable questions about the effectiveness of such large-scale initiatives in navigating the market through troubled waters.!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script', ' fbq('init', '887971145773722'); fbq('track', 'PageView');
