3 weeks until wrestlemania; 3 weeks until this nightmare would hopefully be over for the judgment day, and they could be reunited with their fifth member. none of them would lie and say the time she'd been away had been easy for anybody in the group though, as y/n being ripped away from the loving grasp of her partners was for no other reason than to get into the heads of those who turned their back on edge.
the house was quieter without her. road trips to the next city and hotel rooms were no longer the same. dressing rooms didn't have the same energy without her. and the entire time it killed the group to know y/n was so close, yet so far away.
and what tormented all of them? kept finn up at night, made damian clench his fists and rhea squirm at the thought? that they had yet to confront edge and tell him exactly how they felt. the man who helped build up y/n as a superstar, was also the man who ripped her away from her lovers; one way or another, the judgment day was going to make sure he got a piece of their mind. it didn’t matter how it happened.
the judgment day was going to make edge’s life hell until wrestlemania.
finn found himself sitting in the group’s bedroom, looking through boxes of y/n’s memorabilia and random things in boxes. most of this stuff was things she just hadn’t gotten around to unboxing when they moved her into their home, but as finn took a closer look, he began to realize why she’d waited.
photo albums. all of which contained pictures of y/n with her chosen family. her first christmas with the copelands, where beth bought all of them matching pajamas and made their family take a picture in front of the christmas tree. the beginning of her career, where beth stood in a practice ring with y/n and coached her through different finishers and submission moves. those long nights backstage at different shows, where a young y/n was absolutely exhausted and adam would keep her comfortable against his side so she could get some rest.
old trophies and titles, random pieces of ring gear, old things from edge and beth’s careers that they’d given y/n…she wasn’t just forgetting to put these things up or take them out of boxes. y/n was scared to do so. she didn’t want to literally open up a box full of hurt and fear after all the pain they’d caused. she was literally and figuratively repressing those emotions.
as finn sorted through the box and tried his hardest not to let his emotions get the best of him, rhea walked into the bedroom and took inventory of the different things in front of her partner. she took a seat next to him, gently rubbing his back and feeling that tension rising inside of him. “she’ll be coming back to us soon, love.” the aussie spoke softly. “only a few more weeks. she’s in good hands.”
“johnny and candance may be good hands but they aren’t her home.” he mumbled. “the fact that they’re treating her like a child and doing this to her is ridiculous anyway.” finn spat, putting the photo album back into the box. “y/n’s an adult. and the one person she sees as her father, one of the most important people in her life, won’t let her come home? our bosses are backing him up? rhea, it’s…” he couldn’t even finish his thought. he shook his head and tried to calm down his boiling anger.
rhea nodded and held finn’s hand. “there’s not much we can do right now.” she said quietly. “we’re all upset. but she’ll be home soon.” she gently turned finn’s head towards her own, holding the irishman’s cheek. “you’re the one who’s going to show him why no one messes with us.”
*****
that moment rhea was speaking of? it came a lot faster than anyone in the judgment day could have emotionally prepared for. it was like the movies, where finn and edge turned the corner at the exact same time and stood face to face for the first time since their newest member was ripped away from the judgment day. finn swore he could feel the anger radiating through his body at the sight of edge; claws were itching at his spine, his stomach felt like it was on fire, and his fists were clenched tight by his side. he took your princess away from you, my prince. it's time to take back what's rightfully yours.
the corner of edge's lip curled into a snarl. in front of him was the man who seemingly corrupted his mentee, the one who took her away from him and beth as another way to get under the skin of the founder of the judgment day. in his mind, he never took y/n away from her newfound family. he was only trying to give her a break from them! he wanted her to take some time to think about her recent choices and possibly remember what exactly the foursome had done to not only her, but himself and beth over the last few months. edge didn't see anything wrong with what he did. the hall of famer was only doing right by the young woman he saw as a daughter.
finn tried taking a deep breath, but his mouth was moving before he could even think about what he was saying. "i'd walk away the other way before i do something i regret."
edge couldn't help but chuckle at finn's statement. the prince was already trying to act so tough? so intimidating? it didn't phase edge one bit. "wow, not even a hello? no how are you?" he playfully looked finn up and down, noting the second bandana in finn's pocket that most likely belonged to y/n. "why so hostile, finn?"
"you know why, don't play dumb with me." finn poked his finger into the rated r superstar's chest. "you know what you did to me, to y/n, to all of us! and you thought the best thing to do was take her away from us when you've ignored her for the last, what, six months? that's not very fatherly of you, adam. more cowardly than anything."
again, edge chuckled. his eyes were growing dark, and he dared himself to step even closer to finn. "i don't need you telling me what's very fatherly. as far as i'm concerned, she's better off without the four of you." he challenged, almost getting joy out of how angry finn was getting at him. "you let her get kicked into a table? she took a spear for you? you doubted her spot in the judgment day? y/n doesn't realize it yet, but the four of you have caused so much more harm than good." edge flashed that cocky smile at finn. "we can continue this conversation in the ring tonight. i'll see you soon."
watching edge walk away, practically reeking of revenge and pure anger, caused all of those feelings within finn to intensify. if he could have unleashed all of that anger backstage, he would have; but finn also knew one wrong move meant having to wait even longer to have y/n in the arms of her four partners again. he wasn't going to risk that, no matter how badly he wanted to wreak havoc.
finn could be patient. he'd wait the three weeks until wrestlemania to give edge a piece of his mind and see their princess again. those three weeks would be hell, but finn was also planning on throwing edge into the deepest pit of pain and agony once he got his hands on him.
only a little while longer, my prince.
*****
each day without her loves, without her family, was causing y/n to fall further into this spiral of sadness. nothing was the same anymore without dominik's laugh, rhea's hugs, damian's bodyguard-esque presence, or finn's kisses. the longer she went without her little family, the more y/n was spiraling into feelings she hadn't felt in a long time, if ever.
sure, she had JD. that was the closest thing y/n had to finn while being away from the judgment day. but it wasn't her finn. being at NXT without any of them by her side wasn't the same. y/n didn't even see the purpose anymore in coming to the PC to work. it was so much easier to hide in johnny and candace's guest room, the lights off and hidden under the covers with rhea's sweatshirt clutched in her hands. no matter how many times she wore damian's t-shirt or looked at goofy pictures with dom, nothing eased the aches in her body.
y/n had practically stopped answering her phone at that point. every text, every phone call, it was ignored and went without response day after day. it didn't matter who it was from, there was radio silence on her end. sometimes the gentle knocks from either candace or johnny on her temporary room even went unanswered. and while people were concerned, it felt like no one was going to do anything to fix it.
no one...except for one particular irishman.
when JD hadn't seen y/n at the PC, she stopped showing up to NXT, his texts and calls went unanswered, he knew he needed to check up on her. finn was trusting him to take care of y/n while she was away, and that meant doing whatever he needed to do for y/n to be even the slightest bit okay. what he didn't realize, even while walking up to the front door of johnny and candace's home, that she already was slipping even further into this deep hole. if JD would have waited any longer, there's no telling how much deeper princess would've fallen.
the hurried, repeated knocks at the front door pulled y/n from her cave of blankets and her partner's hoodies. there wasn't much that could do that as of recent, but she managed this time. she took her time going to the door and opening it, but the sight of JD brought tears to her eyes for a multitude of reasons. guilt, sadness, hurt, anxiety, even a little bit of hope. "you shouldn't be here-"
"y/n..." JD said softly, not even letting her finish her thoughts. his voice alone broke her even more, and before y/n could think twice JD had his arms around his friend in the tightest hug he could manage. he wasn't sure when the last time she got one of those hugs was, so he made note to do it now. to remind y/n she wasn't alone.
y/n wrapped her arms around JD and gripped onto him like her life depended on it. at this point, it basically did; this was the first time in weeks she had someone who wasn't her dad, hunter, or shawn around her. someone who was on her side and actually seemed as though they wanted the best for her. y/n's hands gripped onto JD as tight as she could and she finally let the tears loose down her cheeks. "i-i'm so sorry."
"don't be. you have no reason to be sorry." JD said softly, gently ushering y/n inside with his arms still around her. "come on, y/n. talk to me."
even though y/n wanted everything she was feeling to just pour out, she couldn't. the words were caught in her throat and everything she'd held in for the last month couldn't find its voice. the only thing she could manage were pathetic whines and whimpers, until finally some of those words were choked out. "i just want to go home."
JD's heart broke. he'd never understand why anyone thought taking her away from her family was the right answer. no one was paying attention and noticed that this wasn't helping the frustrations between the judgment day and edge, because they were too focused on themselves. everyone ignored the consequences of their actions.
maybe JD shouldn't have spoken up, but he could only find one answer to the sad statement that left y/n's lips. "who's stopping you?"
y/n's cries slowed down into sniffles and she slowly pulled back to look at JD. "they said i couldn't." the answer felt so simply, yet the solution was even easier. and it never once crossed her mind out of fear of the consequences.
"did they take your key? are they bothering to watch your every move?" JD asked softly, wiping the tears from y/n's cheeks. "you live there too, y/n. no one can stop you from going home. not to the place where you pay the bills with everyone else. the place you call home." JD gently rubbed her arms, managing to give her a smile. "go home, y/n."
again, the answer seemed so easy. the solution was self explanatory. but y/n didn't about it once, until JD mentioned it out of fear for how edge or her superiors would react. needless to say though, JD's words were enough for her to pack her bag and rush out to her parked car in the driveway - the jeep that hadn't moved in days since she stopped going to training sessions. even in the rare cold, florida rain, y/n was rushing home to her people with those same tears rushing down her cheeks.
while the drive wasn't long, it felt like an eternity until y/n was in the driveway of the home she shared with the four people she recognized as her family. she knew their travel schedules and saw everyone was home from their own vehicles being in the driveway and the dimly lit lights through the window, but even after parking and standing in the rain ready to start taking her life back, her legs didn't move.
y/n was terrified, worried someone would catch her and she'd have to face the consequences of going home before she was given permission. even though she didn't need permission, she stood in the rain for a solid five minutes debating if she should've even made the move. but eventually she did it; her tears mixed with the raindrops, and y/n made her way to the front porch before pulling out her phone. her shaky hands sent a quick text to rhea, the aussie being the first of her four partners to pop up in her messages, and waited for someone to hopefully give her the piece of mind she wanted so badly.
"let me in? please?"

Sektor and Sub-Zero's relationship in MK1 Part 3. What Can We Conclude So Far?
Someone asked me what I thought of the Sektor trailer the day it came out, and since the Sektor trailer revealed a little more than we already knew about her affection for Bi-Han, I decided to do a third breakdown on it.
Tumblr media
To begin with, I don't believe that Sektor is being manipulated, is obeying out of duty, has been brainwashed by Bi-Han, sees Bi-Han as a father and so on.
I don't believe in these theories.
Sektor is doing everything because she wants to, because it suits her purposes. And most likely, she is the real mastermind behind the entire Lin Kuei evolution process. And no, I don't think she's manipulating Bi-Han. She is simply guiding him to achieve the dreams he shared with her (as stated in her own bio). Like, they are partners.
According to her bio — which basically serves to help you understand the character's motivations and what led them to engage in mortal kombat — Sektor is Bi-Han's kindred spirit.
Tumblr media
As I've stated in other posts, a kindred spirit means this:
"Kindred spirits are like-minded and like-souled people with whom an instant connection of love and understanding is mutually experienced," clinical psychologist Carla Marie Manly, Ph.D., tells mbg. "The connection is inimitable and often defies verbal description."
People who share common interests, values, or worldviews might be described as kindred spirits. "In more spiritual words, we could say that they resonate at the same frequency, and there is matching energy between them," Katherine Bihlmeier, a relationship coach specializing in energy work, tells mbg.
And this is the AI's answer:
"Sense a kindred spirit" means to recognize someone as having similar interests, opinions, or feelings to you. For example, you might say "He sensed a kindred spirit and reached out to her".
Some other signs that you've found a kindred spirit include:
Common interests: You may share the same hobbies, opinions, or values.
Immediate connection: You tend to recognize each other quickly and form an immediate connection.
Strong bond: Kindred spirits tend to form strong bonds with each other that often transcend time and distance.
The earliest known use of the noun "kindred spirit" is in the early 1700s, in the writing of Isaac Watts, an Independent minister and writer.
The meaning is broad and can be applied to any type of intimate relationship where those involved have a strong (and unbreakable) bond and share common interests (without judgment, both understand and respect each other). We already know that Sektor is not related to Bi-Han (Sektor's mother is Madam Bo, a former Lin Kuei warrior leader, and her father is a respected retired Lin Kuei master armorer. While Bi-Han's mother was an excellent fighter who died a long time ago, and Bi-Han's father is the deceased Grandmaster), which leaves it to an intimate connection that arose based on a friendship (remembering that kindred spirit also implies that it was an instant connection, so it's unlikely that they have been friends since childhood) or a romantic relationship.
Before Sektor's bio was revealed, I was inclined to believe it was just a friendship based on common interests, but since nrs usually uses "kindred spirit" as a kind of love term…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Bi-Han as a pround (no one bests a Lin Kuei ~Subzero mk1) and lonely leader of an ancient warrior clan (a real clan, a group of close-knit and interrelated families. They grow the clan by having children among themselves, not by kidnapping children from the streets as in previous timelines) who made Sektor (previously just a master armorer and a skilled warrior) his second in command (even before his brother Kuai Liang and his adopted brother Tomas abandoned him, as Kuai Liang himself subtly says in the story mode…
vimeo
Like, why would the daughter of a master armorer and her apprentice be a major impediment to the second and third in line of succession? We already know why. Because Bi-Han made Sektor his lieutenant as soon as he took over as Grandmaster and Cyrax for being associated with both (Bi-Han, the grandmaster who believed in her and she trusted him, and Sektor her commander and ruthless instructor) ended up becoming a sort of third in command of the Lin Kuei.
), I'm inclined to believe in the second hypothesis.
vimeo
She sounds really close to him…
She doesn't even call him Grandmaster…
Even though she respects him as Grandmaster.
vimeo
Tumblr media
She'll rescue him and humiliate herself so that Liu Kang can restore him (she may not get on her knees, but just the fact that she asks Liu Kang to restore him, knowing that she shares Bi-Han's contempt for Liu Kang, I'm sure that resorting to Liu Kang was humiliating for her)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since the Sub-Zero ending, we already know that Bi-Han admires her a lot and shares everything with her…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She's more than the second in command of the Lin Kuei. Much more…
What are the real chances of there being nothing more than friendship? I mean…
I wish I had a friend like that!
Let's be real, Sektor is his ride-or-die girl.

KNB AU: Headcanon
A/N: Today, I will hereby publish my headcanon for which friendgroups would form and what kind of shennanigans would go down if there was an AU where everyone attended the same school (and I literally mean everyone from the Japanese schools). Ignore logistics.
-Kise and Takao would be close friends. Kise would happily oblige whenever Takao wishes to prank Midorima, and these two are the bane of Midorima's existence. -Momoi would be the Gretchen Weiner of the school. She knows everything on everyone which is why people are afraid to mess with her. Yet she's popular because she's such a sweetheart. She'd remain close with Aomine but I definitely feel like she'd develop a strong friendship with Reo Mibuchi too. -Kotaro and Izuki would be the school clowns, generally having fun around the school together and annoying people with their stupid jokes. Every once in a while, Teppei Kiyoshi joins them if he feels like the school could use a more light-hearted atmosphere. -Considering Momoi and Riko would be the coach and manager respectively, all the boys will have banded together to force annual cooking classes on them before those girls get everyone killed. -Mibuchi also recruits Sakurai to his friend group. They love making adorable dishes and sweets together. -Haizaki seldomly gets in trouble at school. Why? Because Hanamiya is on the Disciplinary Comittee and enjoys watching Haizaki's chaos unfold. Why should he get his hands dirty when Haizaki is already doing things for him? -They once held an eating competition between Nebuya and Murasakibara. -Because of his laziness, Aomine gets punished a lot by Riko. -Though Riko trusts Hyuga and Kasamatsu to keep Kise's antics in line. -Takao is a bit more of a smooth talker to get himself out of trouble compared to most of the other mischief makers. -Even after graduation, Kimura continous to supply Riko with fruit to throw at players. -Akashi's original personality actually holds very deep respect for Riko's skill to coach at such a young age and tries to become friends with her. -Himuro often joins Kagami and Kuroko during lunch time, and Kuroko often learns some interesting information about Kagami's childhood he uses for trolling purposes. -Aomine plays with Nigou very often and even gives him little gifts, which makes Kuroko wonder if Aomine is trying to steal his dog. -Midorima hates Nigou almost as much as Kagami does, it surprisingly ended in a few bonding moments. -There's nothing scarier then the day the team get split up in two for practise and Hanamiya and Akashi get to be the respective captains of each team. These two are playing basketball at extreme strategic levels that could make chess masterminds shake in their boots. Their practice competitions are scarier then anything Jabberwock could throw at them. -Wakamatsu developped an addiction to valerian pills, because of their calming nature. His team contains too many personalities that tick him off.

October 12th 1929 saw the birth of Magnus Magnusson, writer, broadcaster and quiznmaster in TV programme “Mastermind”.
Magnus was born in Reykjavík but grew up in Edinburgh, where his father, Sigursteinn Magnússon, was the Icelandic consul. Magnus’ Icelandic name at birth was Magnús Sigursteinsson, but in Scotland his family adopted British naming conventions and from childhood he used his father’s patronymic as a surname. Living in Joppa, he was educated at the Edinburgh Academy and was in the school’s marching brass band. So to those saying he’s not Scottish, he did live almost his entire life here.
After graduating from Jesus College, Oxford, Magnusson became a reporter with the Scottish Daily Express and The Scotsman. He went freelance in 1967, then joined the British Broadcasting Corporation, presenting programmes on history and archaeology as well as appearing in news programmes.
He retained his academic connections, however, and was Lord Rector of Edinburgh University from 1975 to 1978 from 2002 served as chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University. The Magnus Magnusson Fellowship, an intellectual group based at the Glasgow Caledonian University, was named in his honour. Magnusson’s books included I’ve Started so I’ll Finish, a memoir of his years on Mastermind, and Scotland: The Story of a Nation.
Magnus of course is most famous for the quiz show, Mastermind, it was originally broadcast late on a Sunday night and was not expected to receive a huge audience. In 1973 it was moved to a prime-time slot as an emergency replacement for a Leslie Phillips sitcom, Casanova ‘73, which had been moved to a later time following complaints about its risqué content. The quiz subsequently became one of the most-watched shows on television. Magnusson was famous for his catchphrase “I’ve started so I’ll finish,” which was also the title of his history of the show. The original series was also noted for the variety of venues where filming took place—often including academic and ecclesiastical buildings. The last programme of the original series was filmed at St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney.
To further add to Magnus’s credentials for being a Scot he married Glasgow lass Mamie Ian Baird and they had 5 children together, including Reporting Scotland presenter Sally.
On 12th October 2006, his 77th birthday, Magnusson was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Magnusson mordantly noted that “This has to be one of my worst birthdays ever”. His condition forced him to cancel a string of public appearances. He died on 7 January 2007.The Aigas Field Centre a nature centre near Beauly has a building named in his honour.
In 2014 an auction sold off a lot of his belongings for the Scottish based Balmore Trust, a fair trade charity which sells fairly-traded goods in its shop The Coach House and supports projects in Africa, India and the west of Scotland.
Magnus Magnusson, Icelandic by birth Scottish through choice. Anyone still not convinced of his Scottish & Proud credentials, check out this quote from the man “I have got the best of both worlds; growing up in Edinburgh and now living outside Glasgow.”
Scotland is a welcoming country and have a rich culture which comes from all round the world, with his writing and knowledge Magnus brought so much to our country
Magnus Magnusson is buried in Baldernock Churchyard, East Dunbartonshire.
My favourite of the pics is the younger Magnus on Calton Hill, Edinburgh, the colour of The Hotel in the background, is how I remember it having been the window cleaner there before it had a full restoration in the late 80′s. The black and white pic is when he was installed as Rector of Edinburgh University, the pic with the ferry is on Orkney.

I just realised, shok means luck right?? In Thai and shok and Joke sound same.. and Jack has got Joke now..
Idk how long it's gonna last, but it is good
Save is not buying that..
Oh God the cult lady is going to ask for Jack as a pawn?? Or something?? The bgm is so scary wth
This is the worst last payment scene I've seen.. the eerie vibes, the happiness in Jack's face, the absolute cool boss acting of the Boss, and please Joke please be not waiting outside
Jack looks so pretty.. so pretty it's sad
Oh fuck Joke IS INDEED WAITING OUTSIDE
First episode, Joke was looking from far, now he is standing on the portico of Jack's place, it's nice but the queasy feels of this whole scene
I can't unhear the "shok di na" stuffs, because Jack has Joke already it's sooo stuffy choking mentally
Tf was that?? Save probably did something with the savings money? Or the land??
So.. Boss dad pawned Ama, money does run the world doesn't it??
Joke is going to have to wait..
Alright that's it.. I had to sit while the outro song plays to process this all

The Epilogue dropped today: Mochi Madness. Its not a DLC, but rather an Event that's like a tad more complicated version of past events on the DS and GBA games- Such as how you'd obtain Victini, Darkrai, Shaymin, etc.
Although, I'll be honest, I wouldn't call it an "epilogue" because all it really does is introduce the friend groups to each other and then have a fun side adventure. Think of it like a fun, campy OVA or special episode to a concluded season. An "epilogue" would have done something to tie up the final loose ends of the story, imo.
But I'm not going to be a downer about it- This was fun, hilarious, and honestly what I've always wanted Events to be before they became mythical pokemon handouts. Although, I would have rather had some more to do, such as some of those strange structures deeper in Oni Mountain or just delving deeper into the connections between Ogerpon, Pecharunt, and the Lousy Three- although they were at least decent enough to provide small easter eggs to it, such as Ogerpon crying out when you bring her out to battle Pecharunt, Pecharunt crying out when fighting one of the Three, and Carmine talking about how Pecharunt and the Lousy Three were "definitely connected."
Its a campy little side adventure, and that's fine. I would have loved to see Carmine have more interaction with the gang, and to see the gang enjoy the festival or explore more of Kitakami, but as I figured with the end of Indigo Disk, I figured they just wanted to be done with Scarlet and Violet. Kieran had a great "redemption?" arc kind of, or at least we were able to actually work together with him and get some quality time with him in his right state of mind, and honestly I'm just thrilled to know that Arven considers us his best friend to the point he gets jealous of newbies.
Oh, and now Kieran and Carmine will appear randomly in the BB Club Room- it's a bitch and a half to get them to show up, but you can speed up the process slightly by using the system calendar to go forward a day until one or both show up. Nemona, Penny, and Arven are part of the coach system now, so all you need is about 1800 BP to get them all maxed out, and you can rebattle them on command. They also have fun interactions with each other and other characters, such as Arven learning about how "Toedscruel" from other regions can swim, Penny expanding on the facility Blueberry Academy is attached to, and Nemona actually offering up some more of her own backstory.
As for Pecharunt itself- I'll admit. I'm very let down. I thought the way things were played out before that it was building up to be this mastermind behind everything, but it's just a little runt. That's fine too, in the end, I love a good little gremlin bastard child. Its ability is pretty insane, too, automatically stacking Confusion on top of Poison status you inflict on your opponent.
Perhaps there was a much, much bigger story planned out involving it, Ogerpon, and the Loyal Three, but ultimately time, like usual, was something they sacrificed to get it out the door. Perhaps this was always the plan. Who knows.
As it wasn't DLC and it was just an extension of Indigo Disk's DLC, I'll just judge it a 7/10 for what was provided. It was fun enough, got some great laughs, some fun animations, I just wish there was more to it, and I'll always be a bit bitter that it wasn't the final answers to the story I've been seeking, nor was it more than just a gag Pokemon in the end. Still, I would love more Event Pokemon in this style. No more Zarudes or Zeraoras, give me Pecharunt all day any day.

Here’s How to Crush Your Goals in 2025
Tumblr media
The new year is here, and it comes with the opportunity to turn ambition into action. If you’re serious about achieving your goals this year, it’s time to go beyond vision boards and vague resolutions. Let’s dive into advanced strategies that drive actual results:
🎯 1. Precision in Goal Setting
Don’t just set SMART goals — aim for SMARTER goals:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-Bound
Evaluated regularly
Re-adjusted when necessary
Flexibility is key. Life evolves, and so should your goals.
🔄 2. Reverse Engineer the Outcome
Work backward from your desired result. What milestones must you hit monthly, weekly, and daily? Break your big goals into actionable, non-negotiable micro-steps that eliminate overwhelm and build momentum.
📊 3. Leverage Data and Analytics
Track everything. Use Notion, ClickUp, or Google Sheets to measure progress and pinpoint bottlenecks. Analyze what’s working and pivot swiftly if something isn’t delivering results.
🤝 4. Build Accountability Systems
Willpower is finite, but systems aren’t. To stay on track, surround yourself with goal-oriented peers, hire a coach, or join a mastermind group. Regular check-ins can make the difference between staying the course and falling off.
🧠 5. Master Your Mindset
Your habits follow your identity. Instead of saying, “I want to get fit,” embody the mindset of an athlete: “I am someone who prioritizes health daily.” Align your daily actions with the person you aim to become.
⚙️ 6. Automate and Delegate
Focus on what moves the needle. Delegate low-priority tasks and automate recurring processes using tech like Zapier, AI tools, or outsourcing platforms like Upwork.
🚀 7. Invest in Skill Development
Your goals are only as achievable as your ability to execute. What skills do you need to sharpen this year? Commit to growth through courses, books, and mentorship.
🔥 8. Celebrate Micro-Wins
Motivation thrives on progress. Celebrate small victories to stay energized and reinforce positive habits. It’s not just about the finish line — it’s about enjoying the journey.
2025 can be a breakthrough year — but only if you turn intentions into deliberate action. Let’s not just dream big; let’s DO big.
💬 What’s one goal you’re going to crush this year? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 👇

Captured #1: The Tip
Originally published Jun 21, 2016 This series is being revised
When I started investigating crime around Carpenter State University, I didn't think it would be that big of a deal. It was just a small blog that I ran out of my apartment, but word spread fast and soon I had students all around campus sending me emails asking for my help. Since I learned to read I've wanted to be a journalist, and I knew as a student that I wasn't powerless to act. I could be the voice for the voiceless. I could use my talent now, while I'm here. That's why I started blogging. I made enemies quickly too--the fraternities, the athletics department, eventually the college administration. Remember the Carpenter State football scandal? The coach who gave hookers to recruits? I broke that story after the administration thought it was safely buried. I've been the bad guy, I've been the hero. But I don't care what you think of me. I'm only doing the right thing.
But I know you're not here for my background as an investigative blogger. You want to hear about my internship with Santiago Cruz, about how she turned me into her brainwashed slave, another loyal fashion blogger who mindlessly dismisses the dubious ethics behind Obedience By Fleur. You want to hear about the pleasure I receive following my Mistress' commands. How she took the champion of social justice that I used to be and molded me into a compliant puppet begging for my next command. But that's not where this story begins. First, let me tell you about Piper.
When I met Piper she was a biology major with zero background in journalism or writing. But Piper had been inspired by my blog, and she volunteered to help me. She became my first employee. By that time I'd built up quote the reputation around school and investigating leads was becoming difficult. Piper could slip into any party, event, or class unnoticed. I have to admit I envied her--I loved the chase, and I often felt relegated to the computer when Piper was out doing the real work. But that was the price I payed for kicking this particularly hornet's nest. Piper admitted to me that she hadn't been passionate about social issues until she started reading my blog, but ever she'd plowed through all of my articles in a night and felt a call to action. A few friends in her circle had started their own watch groups, but Piper wanted to be involved with me. She wanted to see change in action. She was loyal, devoted to nothing but bringing justice back to Carpenter State. She had a great heart.
I didn't think much of it when Piper volunteered to investigate rumors that a sorority on campus was forcing pledges to wear Obedience by Fleur lingerie. Stories about the product had been popping up around campus, but it was difficult to investigate anything. Many of the girls who wore the lingerie had done it willfully, and I suspected the ones who didn't, like the Alpha Delta Theta pledges, were too brainwashed to say anything. That's why this story was a great opportunity to finally take on a growing issue in the community. It wasn't just a feeling anymore, I'd been given names, locations, even testimony of what the Alpha girls were doing to the pledges when they were under. My source said it had begun with menial tasks like cleaning house and tending bar. But the older girls had grown power hungry, and soon they were taking their pledges to bed.
Pledge season was over, but Piper slipped in as an outsider, making friends with one of the Alpha Delta Theta girls at a prohibition era-themed St. Patrick's Day party. After expressing an interest in pledging in the fall, Piper's new friend took her to Madison Wells, the sorority president. Piper learned quickly that Madison was the mastermind of the whole Obedience by Fleur hazing, and she was getting the most out of her slaves. Madison was sitting on the couch, two slaves on either side of her. They didn't seem to have much to do other than cuddle up close to her, but Piper got the impression that they were more a part of Madison's ego trip than actually serving a purpose at the party. Another girl stood by her at all times, arms at her side, eyes staring forward in that robotic expression waiting for her orders. "Another drink, Abigail," Madison would say, and her slave would reply, "Yes, sister," before marching off to fetch her another cocktail. "Are you enjoying the party?" Madison asked Piper as the young investigator took a seat on the sofa across from Madison's couch.
"Yes," Piper replied. "It's very classy," Madison smiled and nodded. "I know the roaring twenties isn't the most original theme but I'm a literature major and I just can't get enough of Fitzgerald." The girl returned with a glass and Madison took a sip and continued to speak to Piper. The young girl by her side looked hurt to be ignored by her mistress, but she returned to her statuesque stance. "Have you had a drink?" Madison asked Piper. "No," Piper replied. "Not yet. Are they...?" She pointed to the two girls cuddling close to Madison. "My slaves, for now," Madison continued to smile. "Before we just had pledges dress up in ridiculous outfits and run down the street but I think this is the best hazing I've ever come up with." "How long are they going to be like that?" "Oh, just for the semester," Madison stroked the head of her left slave. The young girl returned a desiring whimper. "Once they've learned loyalty to our sisters, I'll release them. Of course they're free to think on their own outside of the house, so they can attend classes and work and I give them proper time for homework too but they have to do their chores first. The house has never looked this nice. And the party, they're such great decorators, aren't they?"
Piper nodded, trying not to look too disgusted.
"So what makes you want to be an Alpha girl?" Madison asked. "I've been looking for a sorority to pledge to since I started last fall," Piper lied. She despised everything about Greek life, and she wasn't even a freshman. "But so far I just...haven't liked the culture. Nothing fits for me."
"Oh?" Madison raised an eyebrow. "Of course, you know that membership isn't the only thing you pledge to Alpha Delta Theta." Madison turned her attention to her right slave, reaching around the young woman's body and squeezing her breast. A tiny squeak escaped from the girl's lips. "Some of the girls were reluctant, but Tina here, she couldn't wait to pledge her mind to the sisters." "Sister," Tina said in her quiet voice. "Are you going to play with me?" "Not now, Tina. Remember that patience is a virtue," Madison looked back to Piper and continued, "I like this one so much that I may have to keep her when the semester is over. I don't think she'll mind."
Piper's eyes darted to the floor. Her heart must have been jacked as she watched Madison's display of power over her pledges. "To tell you the truth," Piper began. "I want to feel the pleasure of serving Alpha Delta Theta too," More lies, but Piper knew that she had to say what she had to say to keep Madison dumb.
Madison's eyes scanned Piper's body and she concluded with a kind smile, "You're cute! I can't wait to have you as one of my sister's."
Piper broke away from the crowd at her first chance, finding a closet to hide in and message me. She sent me one text: "Got some good stuff. Snuck some pictures. Getting out of here." Piper hit send and heard the squeak of the doorknob behind her. She spun around to face the open door, the bright lights of the party, and a disappointed Madison standing before her. "Oh shit," Piper said.
The next morning I awoke to find no new messages from Piper. It was alarming, but I figured that she must have passed out when she got home and I left my apartment to track her down. Her place was just around the corner, and when I got there I buzzed for her to let me in but there was no response. She wasn't answering my texts, her phone went straight to voicemail. I told myself that it had been a late night and she was still in bed, so I sat down on a bench and waited. Regardless of what I hoped, I was starting to get the feeling that Piper had never made it home. And when I get a feeling, I'm almost never wrong.
Back at the sorority, the girls had passed out after a long night of partying. But in her bedroom, Madison was wide awake training her newest pledge. "Don't you feel so much better?" Madison asked, admiring her slave's athletic body. "Yes, sister," Piper replied, standing at attention for her mistress, stripped down to nothing but her new pair of Obedience by Fleur lingerie. "You were trying to get me in trouble," Madison frowned. "I'm sorry, sister Madison. I was a bad girl." "Mmm, that's right," Madison hummed as she slipped her hand down into Piper's panties. "Now I'm going to have to punish you." "Please," Piper breathed. The once independent girl had nothing on her mind now but the wishes of her mistress, the desire to be punished and the rewards she would receive through obedience. Piper was a strong woman, but even she couldn't fight the powerful waves of pleasure circulating through her body, and Madison had promised more pleasure if she submit. So she did. "Please, punish me." Piper repeated.
Madison smiled. "When I'm through with you, you'll be my masterpiece."

Unleashing Your Limitless Potential
Life is too short to let negative thoughts hold you back. Yet, most of us unknowingly let our minds sabotage us. Why? Because it’s easier to stay comfortable. But comfort isn’t where growth happens. 🌱 Let’s talk about how to take control of your thoughts, overcome limiting beliefs, and create a life you love.
Thoughts Shape Actions
Everything we do starts with a thought. But not all thoughts are created equal. Some empower us, while others keep us stuck. So, here’s the million-dollar question: What are you telling yourself?
Negative thoughts often sound like:
“I’m not good enough.”
“I can’t compete with them.”
“Why even try?”
These thoughts are roadblocks, keeping you from the success you deserve. But here’s the thing: you can train your brain to think differently. 🧠💡
Real-World Examples of Mindset Shifts
Let me share two pivotal stories from my own journey:
1️⃣ Competing Against Giants:
When I was invited to a major competition to promote a product I believed in, I felt out of my league. My competitors were industry giants with massive followings. My initial thought was: “Why bother? I don’t stand a chance.”
But I flipped the script. Instead of focusing on what I lacked, I focused on what I could gain. I visualized myself succeeding, and even though I only saw myself as #2, I still ended up achieving that goal. Imagine if I had visualized being #1!
2️⃣ Leaving My Comfort Zone:
When I transitioned from real estate to coaching, I joined a mastermind group filled with brilliant minds. I felt like an imposter. “I don’t belong here,” I told myself. But I stayed. Over time, I not only found my footing but surpassed many of those I once admired.
The key takeaway? Your comfort zone is your biggest enemy.
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are the silent killers of dreams. They often stem from:
Past experiences.
Opinions of others.
Fear of failure.
To break free, you must first identify these beliefs. Then, challenge them. Ask yourself: Is this belief helping me or holding me back?
A Simple Brain Training Exercise
Try this daily exercise to rewire your thoughts:
Morning mantra: Start your day by repeating a positive affirmation. For example, “I am capable of achieving anything I set my mind to.”
Visualize your goals: Close your eyes and imagine yourself living the life you want. Be as detailed as possible.
Gratitude practice: Write down three things you’re grateful for every day.
Your Thoughts, Your Reality
Remember: thoughts become things. If you believe in your ability to succeed, you’ll find ways to make it happen. If you let doubt creep in, you’ll stay stuck.
What’s Next?
In the next blog post, we’ll tackle how to dismantle limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering ones. Stay tuned, and don’t forget to take that first step today. Your limitless life awaits. 🚀

Hybrid Class Review: Investigator part 3
Tumblr media
(art by LaminIllustration on DeviantArt)
Archetypes
The investigator boasts an interesting set of archetypes, so let’s dive right in! I tend to divide these archetypes into four categories.
Perhaps the first group I’d like to go over are those investigators that are still expressly detectives while dropping the alchemy in favor of other specializations. Perhaps none is more iconic here than the sleuth, which feels like it was made specifically to be a non-specialized detective that drops alchemy entirely in favor of having a pool of luck to help them through the day. Meanwhile, the Jinyiwe focuses on divine mandate and gains spells from such a source, while the Psychic Detective instead uses psychic magic and their sensitivity to gain clues and insights as well as defend themselves. Scavengers also exist which use quasi-magical gadgets instead of alchemical potions, and the Questioner augments their interviews with bardic magic. Additionally, Spiritualists (the archetype, not the class) channel the spirits of the dead to gain answers, while Malice Binders turn witchcraft lore against the wicked.
Of course, some investigators keep the alchemy while still having their own specializations as detectives. Bonded Investigators make use of a familiar ally, for example, while Steel Hounds are never without their trusty firearms. Ciphers investigate by being supernaturally unnoticeable by those that would stop them, while Cult Hunters and Infiltrators both finds ways to find and put a stop to secret societies and insular groups. Others specialize in gleaning secrets from the dead, such as Gravediggers and Dread Investigators, though their methods differ. Empiricists use unfailing logic to defeat deception and trickery, while Profilers use psychological profiles to determine suspects. Forensic Physicians are trained to glean secrets from the dead in a more mundane manner, while Skeptics use their keen senses and knowledge of parlor tricks to reveal fake hauntings and deal with the real ones. Meanwhile, Guardians of Immortaility, Lepidstadt Inspectors, and Ruthless Agents are known for their dogged pursuit of their goals. Finally, Hallucinists use mind-altering substances to reveal the truth, while Lamplighters reveal with alchemical light sources.
Of course, there are some so-called “investigators” that actually deserve investigation of their own, notably the Conspirators, who hide their activities and deceive others, and the Masterminds, master manipulators that can coach their allies on plans in advance.
While plenty of investigator characters may not actually be professional detectives, some of these archetypes are expressly not that while still using their brilliant intellect. Some are scholars and archaeological collectors, such as Antiquarians, while others study mysterious beasts like Cryptid Scholars. Meanwhile, Cartographers and Star Watcher, who study their charts for very different effects, are also a possibility. Engineers create inspired devices, while Holomog Demolitionists destroy with shocking precision and cunning. Utterly ignored but shockingly competent is the Majordomo, who serves dutifully and organizes those under them to great effect, while Tekritanin Arbiters put their brilliant minds to resolving conflict. Natural Philosophers meanwhile study nature directly, while Portal Seekers study the realms beyond the natural. Finally, Reckless Epicureans test their experimental formulae on themselves, while Toxin Codexers specialize in understanding poisons even beyond the standard investigator’s knowledge.
As you can see, these archetypes come in all shapes and sizes, but all in the end fall back on the core theme of the investigator, which is finding the truth. That truth may be the mysteries of a crime or misdeed, or they may be more esoteric such as scientific advancement, occult mysteries, and beyond.
That does it for today, but tomorrow I’ll share some thoughts on the class as a whole.

October 12th 1929 saw the birth of Magnus Magnusson, writer, broadcaster and quiznmaster in TV programme “Mastermind”.
Aye ah know he wasn’t born in Scotland but -I’ve started so I’ll finish!
Magnus was born in Reykjavík but grew up in Edinburgh, where his father, Sigursteinn Magnússon, was the Icelandic consul. Magnus’ Icelandic name at birth was Magnús Sigursteinsson, but in Scotland his family adopted British naming conventions and from childhood he used his father’s patronymic as a surname. Living in Joppa, he was educated at the Edinburgh Academy and was in the school’s marching brass band. So to those saying he’s not Scottish, he did live almost his entire life here.
After graduating from Jesus College, Oxford, Magnusson became a reporter with the Scottish Daily Express and The Scotsman. He went freelance in 1967, then joined the British Broadcasting Corporation, presenting programmes on history and archaeology as well as appearing in news programmes.
He retained his academic connections, however, and was Lord Rector of Edinburgh University from 1975 to 1978 from 2002 served as chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University. The Magnus Magnusson Fellowship, an intellectual group based at the Glasgow Caledonian University, was named in his honour. Magnusson’s books included I’ve Started so I’ll Finish, a memoir of his years on Mastermind, and Scotland: The Story of a Nation.
Magnus of course is most famous for the quiz show, Mastermind, it was originally broadcast late on a Sunday night and was not expected to receive a huge audience. In 1973 it was moved to a prime-time slot as an emergency replacement for a Leslie Phillips sitcom, Casanova ‘73, which had been moved to a later time following complaints about its risqué content. The quiz subsequently became one of the most-watched shows on television. Magnusson was famous for his catchphrase “I’ve started so I’ll finish,” which was also the title of his history of the show. The original series was also noted for the variety of venues where filming took place—often including academic and ecclesiastical buildings. The last programme of the original series was filmed at St Magnus Cathedral in Orkney.
To further add to Magnus’s credentials for being a Scot he married Glasgow lass Mamie Ian Baird and they had 5 children together, including Reporting Scotland presenter Sally.
On 12th October 2006, his 77th birthday, Magnusson was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Magnusson mordantly noted that “This has to be one of my worst birthdays ever”. His condition forced him to cancel a string of public appearances. He died on 7th January 2007.The Aigas Field Centre a nature centre near Beauly has a building named in his honour.
In 2014 an auction sold off a lot of his belongings for the Scottish based Balmore Trust, a fair trade charity which sells fairly-traded goods in its shop The Coach House and supports projects in Africa, India and the west of Scotland.
Magnus Magnusson, Icelandic by birth Scottish through choice. Anyone still not convinced of his Scottish & Proud credentials, check out this quote from the man “I have got the best of both worlds; growing up in Edinburgh and now living outside Glasgow.”
Scotland is a welcoming country and have a rich culture which comes from all round the world, with his writing and knowledge Magnus brought so much to our country
Magnus Magnusson is buried in Baldernock Churchyard, East Dunbartonshire.

Bro is dead- I name him Zechariah in my head which means in Hebrew "to remember"
Mika and Val having very harsh communication issues and I live for it! Please kiss eachother.
Tom and Val is interesting pair too like victim x killer of course they are.
I believe Zechariah and Yukio's friendship is ending very roughly to both of them cause I believe Yukio have a finger on it.
I'm still excited to find out who the mastermind is but Maybe this story doesn't contain a mastermind or that was Primrose (joking way)
Actually, the mastermind is Mukuro, who's busy supervising this via Monokuma while Junko is planning the THH killing game. This becomes a serious problem because she's so close to the pods she can kill someone IRL super easily.
That being said, in addition to Robin being the traitor, Mika helped create this program with her tech expertise. However it was more of a "fooled by Junko that in-line with her beliefs" and she turned on Junko when she found out its true purpose.
The Ch4 motive is that every day, a random classmate has to face one of their fears (stolen from Total Drama, because I can.)
Zechariah has it easy, since he doesn't have enough memories to really fear anything. (He has to give himself a stovetop burn due to Aiden's murder scarring him.)
Miyuko has to admit that she was doping to keep up with Yukio, who is technically the better skater of the two. If she's caught, both of them will be stripped of thier titles. Her coach forced her into it, to a degree. (she has a better artistic component.)
Yukio fears betrayal, so he has to mentally deal with the traitor. He's not having a good time about Miyuko's secret.
Mika has to have a standoff with a robot version of her mother. Also, cornbread. She has a fear of that due to getting food poisoning from it once, and everyone else has a good laugh at that.
Celene fears car crashes due to her vision, but also being seen as a god figure.
Robin fears letting people down. Which is why he became the traitor in the first place. He has to face the bodies of the kids he risked his life to save, in an au where he failed to save them. It fucks him up.
Celene has to deal with the fact that her Mika and Tom vision didn't come true, and probably won't due to Tom's death. Were all of her visions fake? Does she even deserve to lead? Is her talent a lie?
Throughout this chapter, (which would take 2-3ish weeks in-universe, but there'd be timeskips if this ever became playable) Celene sympathizes with Mika, while everyone else does NOT. cool motive, still accomplice to murder, you know?
Miyuko distrusts her the most, and even lashes out in anger and tells her its her fault (this is not true.) she regrets it almost immediately after, and runs off the apologize.
Mika, of course, forgives her. He isn't the type to care about stranger's opinions.
Over the course of the chapter, almost everyone makes an attempt on Mika's life. Robin, out of obligation to keep the game going, Miyuko in a fit of anger, etc. I'm debating having Celene get a vision of attacking her and being forced to do it, but idk if thats IC.
Mika understands, forgives all of them, and talks them out of it. He doesn't tell anyone about it, because that'd ruin group unity.
They find Z dead one day, and Mika freaks out because he failed. It isn't clear how he died, and its speculated its because of the peanut allergy.
He died of natural causes, because he was (unknowingly) suffering from brain cancer the whole time. Celene had a vision a couple of days before HPA, but it wasn't clear who it was about. (It was foreshadowed due to a lack of his medical records in the nurses office, and supplies for hospice patients there.)
So in order to beat the trial, you have to not vote.
The problem is one person can knowingly vote incorrectly and kill everyone. Due to everyone's murder attempts being exposed, tension is high. Thankfully, it goes without a hitch.
Monokuma then begins chapter 4.5, find the traitor and kill them! Whoever gets voted off gets killed, simple as that.
