if you had to give Sephiroth a non-ShinRa career, like a normal-ish person career, what would you give him?

first of all let's establish that we DO NOT put this man in any sort of customer-facing role. Customer facing and autism do not mix.

Given that Sephiroth is very sharp of mind, I imagine he'd absolutely excel in those analytical roles, looking at data and gleaning information from it.

Just no lab work. We don't want to re-trigger that trauma.

The corpse will be posted shortly after! It should be up for everyone's viewing pleasure by January 27th.

10 First Lines

rules: list the first line of your last 10 fics and see if there's a pattern

i'm going to do first line rather than sentence? if that's okay? though for most fics, they are one and the same 😂

conclusion: actually it looks like i start most of my fics with one sentence 🤣

thank you so much for the tag @i-dream-of-libraries 🥹🥹🥹

Where In The World Is Phryne Fisher?

We found some clues that Phryne made another visit to Washington, D.C., where she has a very long-standing and loyal following. 

Acorn TV is headquartered in the Capital region, and the local PBS station still broadcasts Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries every week, attracting new fans to the show.

Like Melbourne, Australia, Washington, D.C. has many old boating clubs and local crew teams that race along the Potomac River. 

Phryne stopped by several of the boat clubs on her visit and saw the beautiful Potomac River. There is also a lovely canal towpath to hike or bike while visiting.

Next, Phryne visited Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, the home of socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post. Marjorie was born in 1887 and was the only child of C.W. Post and heir to the Post (yes, Post Cereal) fortune.

Marjorie had homes in New York, Newport, and Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. Hillwood is a gorgeous museum that showcases Marjorie’s vast collection of furnishings and art, including her rare Faberge eggs. 

While here, Phryne was thrilled to learn of the special exhibit on the Dior Fashions of Princess Grace of Monaco. These all could be worn by Phryne’s beautiful niece, Peregrine.

When leaving Hillwood, Phryne stopped at the lovely gift shop to see their beautiful assortment of hats, fascinators, jewelry, clothing, and even a flapper ornament!

Before saying goodbye to the U.S. Capital, Phryne joined her guests in a festive Independence Day celebration.  

Will she make it to Louisville, Kentucky in time for Miss Fisher Con 2022!? 

Will you!? https://missfishercon.com

Marjorie Merriweather Post: She was America’s Wealthiest Businesswoman from the 20th Century

She’s an American businesswoman, trailblazer, socialite, and philanthropist. This feisty female mogul was one of the most successful businesswomen of her time. Learn more about her impressive achievements below.

Early Life and Education

Marjorie Merriweather Post, the daughter and only child of C. W. Post and the former Ella Letitia Merriweather, was born in Springfield, Illinois.

Marjorie picked up business management skills from her father, including how to market and advertise their goods. Marjorie received a top-notch business education from her father.

Marjorie enjoyed helping her father sell Postum to stores when she was a young child. Postum became well-known thanks to C.W. Post’s successful and effective advertising campaigns.

By the time Marjorie was a teenager, the C.W. Post family was a rich and well-to-do family.

Post studied at the Mount Vernon Seminary and College, which is now the George Washington University.

Early Career and General Foods Corporation

After her father passed away in 1914 at the age of 27, she took over ownership of the 1895-founded Postum Cereal Company, which was expanding very fast.

As a result, she became the richest woman in the US, inheriting $20 million (which would be worth $526 million in 2020).

Marjorie had the option of selling the business and relying solely on her inheritance, but she chose to carry on her father’s legacy instead.

In addition to Bran Flakes and Chips Ahoy!, Grape-Nuts, Honeycomb, Oreo O’s, Pebbles, and Waffle Crisp are just a handful of the cereal brands owned by the company her father created.

She ran the business as director when her father passed away until 1958.

She grew the company with her second husband, E.F. Hutton, and started to acquire other American food brands, including Baker’s Chocolate, Maxwell House, Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, Jell-O, and many more.

The Postum Cereal Company changed its name to General Foods Corporation in 1929.

She discovered Clarence Birdseye's (an American inventor, entrepreneur, and naturalist) inventions near Gloucester, Massachusetts, while traveling on her boat, to Hussar.

By freezing food, Birdseye had created a brand-new method of food preservation.

Post purchased Birdseye's company because she realized the potential benefits of frozen food, which led to the success of her business eventually.

Read in detail about: Merriweather's Luxurious Lifestyle & Present-Day General Foods Corporation

Philanthropy

She funded and personally supervised a Salvation Army feeding center in New York beginning in 1929 and continuing during the Great Depression.

She gave $100,000 to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was then built as the National Cultural Center in Washington.

She gave the National Symphony $100,000 in 1955 for free performances, which paved the way for the Music for Young America Concerts, which she financed annually.

Death

The business mogul and philanthropist Marjorie Merriweather passed away peacefully in her sleep at her Hillwood Estate after a prolonged illness. She was 86 years old at that time.

The Key Takeaways

Nobody is an expert from birth, as demonstrated by Marjorie's story.

When she abruptly found herself in a position of power, she chose a growth mindset rather than running away from it.

Mrs. Post was also a woman who was well ahead of her time.

Her developing business acumen is demonstrated in this anecdote by the fact that she was able to identify a commercial opportunity before anyone else.

A character I’ve been meaning to give a design to for a while; A Wild Shape Druid whose retirement plan is to just turn into a wolf and never turn back. He’s gonna be in a sort of Dnd themed story I wanna do called ‘Overcharmed’

I’ve given him the proper name of Ludwig Von Merriweather Voltaire the Third-but he’s better known as Vulf. His Father is a very wealthy retired bard who had a lot of kids young-with Vulf being the only male and eldest-and heir to the whole thing, the boats, the manor, the whole vault, the lands-everything his father gained during his own adventures and conquests. The only problem is that Vulf resents his whole family from his father to his step mother most of all, his sisters and a nephew or two because they just don’t know how to ACT anymore they’re that level of rich. Buy and Shoot a bear at a party rich. Step Mother with a ‘I never gave my husband my OWN male heir so Im going to meddle in my daughter’s personal sex lives to make that happen’. Sisters who drop casual ignorant racism that they refuse to correct ever.

So he basically dissapeared and lives off the grid-only showing up once or twice a year when his father claims he’s ‘DYING’ yet again only to make a miraculous recovery a week later. He frequently makes the dark remark that he plans to become a very high ranked druid (as Druids of the highest rank basically live for hundreds of hundreds of years) so he could plant trees on all their graves because that’s the only way anything good could come out of them. Wildshaping repeatedly has resulted in him having a few canine features much to his pleasure-like pointy ears, sharp fangs, etc.
