Market Turbulence and Key Earnings Reports Shape Investor Sentiment Amid Global Uncertainty

So the JFSP 2024 special was... different, wasn't it? I'm trying to suss out what I feel about it.

I think I probably need a second listen to the full thing. (I did listen to the first third of it while busy with something else, didn't get into it particularly, and then relistened to the whole thing in order while walking in the park and liked that first third much better. So I think that relistening to the whole thing all together will be helpful.)

As anyone who has listened to JFSP S9 and has seen my username here can tell, I LOVED JFSP S9, in fact loved it more than I loved the regular sketch show, and the first thing that came to me after listening was "so this is clearly meant to be more like S9." But it didn't feel like that to me, and I'm not sure why- I think maybe because S9 had lower-octane jokes and no audience laughter, meaning that scenes felt like they were servicing the characters and arc rather than only the jokes. So there, the punchline didn't need to go at the end for the audience to know where to applaud, whereas here we had that more low-key, fittingly bucolic gently-told-story feel that didn't always have a punchline, but the audience still felt like they were trying to FIND the punchline and the ends of sketches in how they were laughing. (Or maybe it was part of the editing...?)

I usually LOVE audience laughter, so it feels weird for me to say that I wish I could find a version of this without it to see if it feels more S9-like, but I do kind of want that.

It felt like it was not one thing or another- not like the rest of JFSP, but not like S9 or JF's other narrative work either. And it's not meant to be like any of those, I'm sure... I just need time and a relisten or two to suss out what I think it is, or rather how it makes sense to me.

I loved the standup concept, and there were some very fun slice of life stories told through it. (Also, obviously, the cast was, as always, phenomenal.) As storytelling, I thought it was great, even if the ending felt a bit sudden. But I do need to listen again to figure out what I think it is, and I wish I could do that without audience laughter, and without the feeling like this was meant to be a sketch show.

I'd love to know your thoughts on pact's magic system

Inhales. Pact Thoughts... hm...

I didn't like it at first; it's much softer than what I'm used to, and Blake being a newbie to the supernatural meant that we had no clue what was going on 90% of the time. I also enjoy, just... cool flashy stuff, and pact magic seems to be misery manifest, with massive costs for small benefits besides AND you have to keep it secret. Not really up my alley. I'm afraid the June binding scene was kinda the epitome of this - it works because... Because. you Say a thing. that is the Right thing to say... Because. okay. sure i guess. no immediate result either. why did I sit in the cold with you for a chapter.

That said, it's getting better. Having some concrete cost-benefit mechanic (blood = loss of personal power = measured by tattoos, for example) helps a LOT. With that setup, the "Blake bleeds out in the cell to summon Rose" was a genuinely kickass awesome moment. Satisfying use of (soft) magic to solve an issue... well, to open paths by which the issue had a better chance of being solved.

I also like the realisation Blake and Rose themselves had recently, that Pact magic is an art rather than a science - that gives me a much better picture of how things work. World of Showmanship.

The Others all having specific weaknesses is pretty cool. I like the Others in general, they're very thematically resonant - with the "art > science" take, I wonder if they can be viewed through the "human folklore made manifest" kind of lens, like what Terry Pratchett explores a lot? I'm thinking of the Tiffany Aching books especially. Tiffany would do so well in the Otherverse.

Would love to see more interplay between the human world and the magical one. I think this is another way that Pact's magic system is getting more engaging as the book goes on. Things like goblins taking people/places that Fall Through The Cracks, and the memory of a city fire birthing a spirit... yeah!! Show me how human beliefs have real concrete impact and concrete dangers! Show me how humans and their concrete actions spawn and shape beliefs!! Tie this fantasy world into the one that matters for us! I was *this* close to inventing a fire spirit for my own city, before realising I couldn't talk about it without doxxing myself...

Уже на следующий день Морган как ни в чем не бывало пригласила Поллианну посетить блошиный рынок в Сан Мишуно. Обиженная Поллианна хотела было отказать непутевой подружке, но не смогла устоять перед привлекательной возможностью как следует прибарахлиться.

Прибыв на фестиваль, девчонки сразу же встретились с родителями Морган. Мойра торговала сувенирами, а Доминик оказывал жене моральную поддержку.

Новая подруга дочери произвела приятное впечатление на чету Фирс.

Желая порадовать родителей подруги, Поллианна купила у Мойры снежный шар с символикой Винденбурга — фигуркой морского чудовища Эмили.

Гуляем по площади Сан Мишуно и наслаждаемся атмосферой фестиваля. Девушки все еще держатся немного порознь, испытывая взаимную неловкость.

Еще одна покупка — модный фиолетовый торшер.

Вернувшись домой, Поллианна сразу же поставила снежный шар на почетное место.
