Pretty Little Liars

[little-lies-little-trust]

Ever since season 3, I have been waiting for them to bring up Meredith - they finally (indirectly) mention her AND THIS IS WHAT WE GET??

She made WAY more sense to be one of the redcoats than fucking Shower Harvey.

Byron said she had a history of mental illness (aka she could have been at Radley with Cece, etc.), and she was a blonde that was there the night Ali disappeared.

I don't get why Meredith was such a bitch to Aria. Like honey you banged her dad in front of her, might be wise to get on his good side.

Name Meanings Tag

Tagged by @echoing-sailor 😄

As far as I understand the tag, you are to list your characters names and the meanings of said names and I will preface this by saying 2 things:

1. I made a lot of names up so ...

And 2. I did not look up name meanings when I made these characters, as will become abundantly clear if you know The Thing about Colonel Kalik (and no, The Thing isn't what his secret first name is, it's something you can learn in book 1)

Let's go

Merry:

Joyous or happy

Meredith:

From the Welsh name Maredudd or Meredydd, from Old Welsh forms such as Margetud, possibly from mawredd "greatness, magnificence"

Arlan:

Pledge or Oath (does this count as accidental foreshadowing)

Jonathan:

a gift

Kitty or, the name from which Kitty was derived in Merry Arlan: Breaking The Curse, which you'll probably never learn unless I'm feeling particularly generous and someone actually asks:

From a Scottish surname that was originally derived from the name of a place in East Lothian, itself possibly derived from the Celtic root *kayto- meaning "wood"

Gergorio:

vigilant, a Watchman

Rakael - technically I made up this name (Rack-aye-elle) but it is derived from 2 real names so I've put their meanings here:

ewe 🐑 + join, tie, snare

(I actually love this as a meaning because it fits her character/purpose in the book: sacrificial lamb as it were + binding)

Nathaniel:

gift

Kalik's secret first name:

Good man (or a version of John depending on the origins, as established, John is gift)

Al (extended version from which this particular Al derives):

noble type

Names I made up and did not give meaning to, nor derive from real names:

Lior/Liorellion

Tellyn (autocorrects to Telly all the fckn time, makes for a good laugh when I miss it though and Telly does some tellyn off :p)

Jhoto (autocorrects to photo enough that I'm thinking of giving the meaning "vision")

Kalik - technically a surname but still

PT - technically a title (again, ask me his name and I'll tell, but, like, you gotta ask), but I felt wrong leaving him out

Simonde (fun fact: derived from a friend's surname. Second fun fact: I made up the name before I knew much about the character other than "professor" and said friend had just been accepted into her PhD so ... My friend is much nicer than Simonde)

Sorenson

Aionda

Edthorn (also from some friends surnames joined together and all because of a joke at my wedding. Fun fact: both friends as nicer than Edthorn is, also more assertive)

If you successfully made it through all of that 🎉 Congratulations you're tagged! (It's an open tag, lmk if you actually want me to tag you on the regular, my memory is fraught but I endeavour to try)

[crazyariaisa]

Ella and Byron are arguing over the fact that Byron cheated on her with his grad student, Meredith Sorenson, in the living room of the Montgomery household. As Ella yells at Byron in “Reality Bites Me” (1x05), the camera pans over Aria. The reality of the situation is hitting her like a ton of bricks, and so is the reality of the dangers that come with dating her High School English Teacher, Ezra Fitz. Again, Aria’s relating back to the title of the episode.

While the camera is panning over Aria, Ella also says, “I don’t even know who you are.” implying that Ella doesn’t know who her own daughter is anymore. I zoomed in on Aria’s bedroom window, and there’s a very smartly placed but very faint -A shape that can be made in the bushes in Aria’s bedroom window. Aria’s also wearing her signature -A necklace around her neck.

Kisses, - A.

Actually, let me introduce you to the characters I keep blabbering on about in most of my character tag games.

Guardian Cadet Series (Merry Arlan: Breaking The Curse, Merry Arlan: [TBA])

Merry, Meredith Arlan: she/her the protagonist. She's ambitious, driven, and hiding secrets that could destroy everything she's ever wanted and tried to build. She's like a skittish kitten, mostly she'll hide from you but she does have claws.

Commander Jonathan Whitclé: he/him Human overworked, undervalued, and a bit of a stickler for the rules. Whitclé wants the best for the Guardians and the world at large, it's hard to do. And his paramour is... You can read about Rakael below.

Kitty Hughes: he/him Dragon Born Merry's roommate. Protective, sweet and distractible, Kitty is an alchemy student caught up in a new relationship.

Gergorio Valencia: he/him Elf. Kitty's boyfriend, a Guardian Cadet. Gergorio is the sun whether you're up to deal with the warmth and brightness of him or not

Rakael Valencia: she/her Elf. Mercenary with penchant for getting into trouble of the violent variety. She's been cursed, and she's gonna die soon if she can't break it. 👀

Colonel Kalik: he/him Human "mmmm, squishy cinnamon roll" (my wife's assessment)

Lior, Liorellion Folcs: xe/xem, Half-Goblin Half-Elf Merry's best (and only) friend. A spell-singer by trade, Lior is completely adrift with no idea what xe wants from xyr future except that it makes xem anxious to think on it.

Jhoto Folcs: she/her Goblin. Proprietor of Jhoto's Bar and Club, where both Merry and Lior (her kid) are employed.

Professor Sorenson: she/her Goblin spell-singing teacher at the Five Towers University

PT: he/him, Human the Guardian Personal Trainer, nobody makes it into or out of the Guardian Cadet Training Programme without his say so

Cpn Etta Amaranth: she/her pirate saved Merry's life once

Professor Simonde: she/her Goblin has a bad habit of forgetting that people have need when she stumbled into a research hole; quintessential academic

(this is just a select number of the characters that I wanted to share)

If you want to find out more about these characters or the story, check the Guardian Cadet Series tag or pick up a copy of Merry Arlan: Breaking The Curse

Linking Up Impact Enterprises Addressing COVID-19 And Likely Investors—Fast

Andrew Hobbs

Village Capital

Impact enterprises addressing urgent needs created by the coronavirus crisis require funding post haste. And investors who want to support them are looking for streamlined ways to find the right companies.

With that in mind, Sorenson Impact Foundation and Village Capital recently announced the launch of the COVID-19 Coalition, a consortium of entrepreneurs responding to the pandemic and investors looking to support such ventures.

The heart of the coalition work is a Village Capital platform called Abaca. Launched about a year ago by Village Capital, which runs early-stage startup accelerators and boot camps for social enterprises, and Sorenson, an impact investor, it allows mission-driven startups to share information with potential investors about their activities and progress and streamline the capital-raising process for everyone involved. “It curates deal flow for investors, so they don’t have to sift through a million deals,” says Meredith Shields, Sorenson’s managing director of impact investing.

A Mother Lode of Ventures

Shortly after the coronavirus crisis hit, the folks at Sorenson realized the Abaca data base of 3,000 companies could provide a mother lode of highly targeted ventures—specifically those in a position to address the emergency with solutions ranging from remote work platforms to mask production, but lacking the funding to scale quickly.

At the same time, they observed that many investors were both pulling back from their usual areas of focus and considering stepping into healthcare investments for the first time. With that in mind, they reached out to Village Capital about pulling together an aggregated pipeline.

“We wanted to identify companies working on solutions to the crisis and drive support from investors, many of whom have changed their investing thesis,” says Andrew Hobbs, manager of product and technology strategy at Village Capital.

To that end, they combed their network to find likely investors who might sign on to the coalition, share deal flow and do so, “with the speed that was necessary,” says Peter Lundquist, Village Capital COO. At the same time, they asked companies to provide information about how their product or service was useful to addressing the crisis or whether they were launching something new that was relevant.

Up and Running

In a matter of days, they got a platform, called COVID-19 Response Pipeline, up and running to list companies and provide a method for investors to gain access to that pipeline and coordinate their activities. So far, companies and investors that have joined are largely from Village Capital and Sorenson’s networks; others are expected come on board as investors share their own pipelines with the coalition.

Many of the ventures have existing products that can be used to address the crisis. Over the next few months, the population may change, as new startups form and existing ones pivot to develop COVID-related products and services.

Examples of enterprises listed on the platform: Element3 Health, which addresses social isolation through social activities and clubs, and is branching out into virtual clubs; Wexus Technologies, with an IoT software platform aimed at helping farmers monitor and lower their energy usage and bills, a capability of particular urgency as they try to cope with the current crisis; and Aidar Health, a digital medicine company with a hand-held, wireless rapid health assessment and monitoring device, which can used by hospitals and public health systems to monitor COVID-19 patients and identify high-risk individuals, as well as those most urgently in need of care.

Village Capital’s focus has long been on developing ventures not founded by the typical guy in a hoodie, with products and services aimed at low-income customers. “VC money typically goes to the same kind of solutions and the same kind of people solving upper middle-income problems,” says Hobbs. “We pride ourselves on the our ability to surface businesses solving challenges faced by the poor—and it’s more critical than ever.”

As for Sorenson, the foundation has expanded, rather than changed, in response to the crisis, according to Shields. “We’re adding an additional lens,” she says. It’s all about a three-step COVID framework adopted by many organizations that goes from rapid response, which means addressing immediate urgent needs, to recovery, including meeting not just healthcare issues, but also the problems caused by the pandemic’s economic shocks, and, finally, to resilience, or steps that will help societies bounce back and prepare for future challenges.
