“Oh, so you are still a living, breathing human being,” May teased, walking up behind her nephew. She gently brushed his hair aside and planted a soft kiss on the top of his head. With a smirk, she stepped back and circled around him, heading toward the kitchen to start breakfast. “I was this close to sending out a search party.”

RATING: Explicit (18+) | WORD COUNT: 2.6k PAIRING: Max Phillips x f!Reader PROMPT: A long-distance relationship blossoms through emails, but the tension of being apart grows. CW: This is pretty goofy, a tiny bit sort of almost angsty, but mostly just silly. Reader uses a fake name.

Hello! Hoping to work out if you’re a weirdo or if the ad you posted here is serious. I could use the money, but would like to pass on being murdered in some random basement or finding out the hard way that this is code for some weird sex thing. 

Let me know!

From: Max Phillips <m.phillips@bbcorporate.com> Date: Tue, Oct 2, 2014 at 3:21 PM To: Dawn <givemethewiggins@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Re: Craigslist Ad

Dawn,

Thanks for reaching out. I can assure you the ad is very serious—unfortunately it is not “some weird sex thing” (sounds a little judgy, if you ask me), and my basement happens to be full up at the moment. And on the other side of the country, if that’s any comfort.

I need the package shipped ASAP. Looking for serious applicants only. Payment will be transferred when tracking information has been shared. Can you confirm you’re interested and available this week? Tomorrow would be best.

Hi,

Cool. Tomorrow’s fine with me, I’ve got an appointment in the afternoon but if it’s not too far by bike I can grab the package and mail it in the morning first thing. Can you share the address?

Just a heads up—I will be sending it to my roommate so she can, you know, follow up if I don’t make it home. Your email and ad too. I took screenshots. And I carry mace. For the record.

Dawn,

Sorry, got held up in a meeting. 

Share whatever information you need to. Smart girl with the mace, though it won’t be necessary. Still, bring it along! Always best to be cautious. However, I am concerned about your “bike.” Surely a car would be much more efficient. The pickup location is a little outside of the hustle and bustle, if you will. It’s very important I receive the package on time.

Perhaps you could scrounge up a more reliable vehicle for the morning? 

I’m attaching the address of the pickup location here. Please send confirmation.

Also, my bike’s just fine, thanks. I can leave early and make it work. Wait - how do I know you’re actually gonna pay me? I feel like I should get half up front as a symbol of, I don’t know, good faith or whatever. 

Yeah, actually. I’m gonna need half now. My paypal uses this email address.

You haven’t heard? No rest for the wicked, honey.

Send tracking info when you have it, and I’ll send over the rest. Don’t make me regret it! Oh—I should mention, it’s very important you do not open the package. It’ll be wrapped and addressed, so you just need to pedal it over and make the drop, got it? You can ask for Victor when you pick it up, he’ll be expecting you.

Also, have you ever considered working in sales? I’m always hiring.

Max,

You’re lucky I’m strapped for cash. Maybe I should’ve backed out when you insisted I not open the package (super suspicious, by the way!), but I went ahead and cycled 27 miles to, oh, what’s that? A FUCKING CEMETERY.

No, I didn’t open your stupid box, but it was fucking heavy. If I’ve just mailed you someone’s head, I swear to god I’ll find your ass and take yours as reparations. Also, the guy was a total creep. Victor? Whatever. Not gropey, but like, I think I’ll sleep worse knowing I live in the same city as the fucking crypt keeper. So thanks for that!

Here’s your tracking info. I’d like the rest of the money now.

Okay, but really, that’s gotta be the best email I’ve ever received (you’re competing against newsletters I don’t remember signing up for and updates from my cousins about their ten thousand offspring, but still, the title stands). 

And you’ve got a pretty nice voice too, I guess. I can see how you swindle all those unsuspecting civilians into forking over their life savings!

I know you’ve put me on ice—would still really like to talk about that, by the way—but it’s coming up on refill season, so to speak… 

Need to talk to you. I know you’ve blocked my number and that the flowers are arriving. Do you like them? Are you allergic? I had to guess. Thought you might be a ranunculus girl, but I’m open to notes, you know. I’m very trainable.

Just tell me what to do to make it up to you. Let me take care of you.

[tactical-mode]

After a rushed release, I took my time re-editing and reshooting and am now happy with the final product. Lesson learned. Perfectionism is the enemy of putting a product out, but I can afford to take the time to be proud of it.

Between where we left Cloud last time and where we find him in this opening shot, I actually filmed multiple scenes using Remake that took us into the station house, through a combat, up the stairs, and back out onto the street. These scenes were cut because they weren’t in the OG, it’s as simple as that. The 76 shots and ~15 minutes of good footage are waiting on the ancillary hard drive to be used in a music video or something.

[Chapter 01] Scene 10:  Meeting AVALANCHE

(see my post from Episode 1 to read about why I enumerate scenes this way)

This is the first major overhaul to a scene from 7R, and I cut a lot, refilmed, and moved shots around much more than folks might notice, and I had to manipulate a lot to make it seem like Biggs is interacting with Cloud, which he doesn’t actually do in the Remake scene.

The character’s mouth animations surprised me by how well they could be interpreted to be saying the PS1 lines, especially:

Jessie: “--s, this, uh, what was his name again?”

Jessie: “SOLDIER? Aren’t they the enemy?”

Biggs: “He’s a professional, unlike the rest of us.”

Biggs: “He quit them, and now he’s one of us.”

For the dialogue in this scene I blended PS1 and EC. Forever shout out to Yinza for preserving the PS1 script.

(remember to turn on closed-captioning for the dialogue!)

Scene 11:  Opening the Gate

There’s some stage blocking here and another instance where I decide to go with Remake and/or EC’s dialogue over OG. In OG, Barret tells them to split up (they don’t), the player is given the option to rename him, he tells Cloud that he doesn’t trust him, and then he tells the player how to use the controller buttons to run. Yeah, that won’t work. We’re going to keep his one line about trust:

“Ex-SOLDIER, huh? Don't trust ya!” (PS1/Beacause)

“You’d better be worth the money, merc. Every last gil.” (7R)

For this, 7R’s line is the most evocative and gives us just a bit more context for the situation at hand. I’m not super thrilled that it extraneously introduces us to the concept of ‘gil’, the fictional currency of FF7’s world, which isn’t relevant to the story right now (in the OG, Aerith introduces it when selling the player a flower). But the line is just so damn cool. Barret is so damn cool.

I cut the extraneous chatter between Cloud and Wedge here. I added a couple of shots around the door opening, such as moving one of Wedge’s face-muggings and a wide shot of Jessie and Biggs being sneaky.

I blended the different movements of the soundtrack here to match the iconic tilt of the camera up at the reactor. I also made sure to keep the entire sequence timed in such a way that Barret’s cold turn back is accented by the tense cellos. They haven’t said which one of Remake’s many composers is responsible for each individual diversion from Uematsu’s original score, but I would put good money on Shotaro Shima for the cinematic variation that plays during this scene. The forevariance of the Main Theme here is a particularly nice touch.

Scene 12: Combat: Cloud vs. 1 MP and 1 Guard Hound

A combat has begun, which means that our major story moments for the episode are behind us. That’s not to say that there won’t be plot in the following few minutes, but there won’t be dialogue. Enjoy the slow-motion feast for the eyes and ears, I really enjoyed making it.

Because Cloud is the only combatant in these, it’s easy to actually choreograph and re-shoot the fights, finaggling the enemies into the same locations as I use the same moves on them. This fight can be repeated after opening a nearby chest, allowing me to quickly restart it without having to reload, with only minor changes to the starting positions. For instance, in the first scenario, the members of AVALANCHE start on the battlefield and spend the first few rounds taking the lift, whereas they’re already at the top at the start of the second fight.

I really loved the naturally moody lighting on the crew in the warehouse, and cutting back and forth allowed me to mask some of the “jumping around” that the enemies and Cloud do – although not all, as eagle-eyed viewers will see. This will become less possible when more characters become involved in fights, but for the opening encounters I thought it would be important to show how this slow-mo thing could give the impression of fights progressing. Here's my favorite from the cutting room floor:

Scenes 13-14: Through the Warehouse

At three separate times, I mask edits to the score. At the end of the combat, Cloud sheathes his sword, allowing me to cut out 14 bars and restore Uematsu’s original score structure. I then put this opening piano on loop, extending it until enemies are on the screen (it’s masked again by the sound of the lift and by Jessie cutting the wires. In Uematsu’s structure, loops of the song don’t include the timpanis and orchestra hits from the beginning, but 7R’s version does include them, which I think is an oversight. However, it had the unintended upside of scoring the arrival of enemies from behind Cloud really well! Also, we can associate the orchestra hits with Cloud once more as they punctuate him whirling around and preparing to fight!

Fun fact: Bombing Mission has a bpm of 136, so when I found editing the music too repetitive I would use placeholders with the same bpm and then fine-tune it later. Highlights from the playlist I made were Rocket Man, Thunderstruck, Go Your Own Way, Jump (For My Love), and, heh, Sandstorm. 

Scene 15: Combat: Cloud vs. 2 MPs, 1 Guard Hound

With this combat, I chose to introduce the viewer to magic - specifically, Cloud’s ability to cast lightning and ice. In OG, the player learns this by taking control of Cloud down on the train platform, but its quite possible in a playthrough for Cloud to never use magic – and indeed, in 7R he begins with different spell abilities altogether!

However, I feel like this short encounter was the way to introduce magic with the maximum hype possible, and I’m proud of the result. Cloud zaps one MP, dispatches the other with a quick sword slice, then fires off an ice spell to nab the pup.

I tried to have the materia in focus while Cloud was casting in order to provide a visual clue as to where this magic comes from, because it won’t be exposited with dialogue for some time yet.

Scene 16: Combat: Cloud vs. 2 MPs

Around 1 minute of combat footage represents about 2-3 hours of shooting, and about 5 hours of editing. This one took a bit longer because I remained in bullet time so that I could get coverage of the crew running out onto the bridge.

For this combat, I cut out a chunk of the score to make room for the section that uses a variation on the Main Theme, accenting a Cloud hero shot.

Scene 17: The Bridge

This was pretty straightforward to shoot except for cutting out a door puzzle that triggers AVALANCHE running into the reactor. Filming around that was a bit tricky. I also dabbled in my first bit of colour-correction here, as jumping from the gap between sectors back into that metal tunnel was hard on the eyes.

A quick clip of the music to ramp up towards the credits, and about a hundred reshoots of that camera so that it passes between the pipes and not through them. And we're done.

[eaglesnick]

“Taxation is the price which civilized communities pay for the opportunity of remaining civilized.” - Albert Bushnell Hart: 

The rightwing media would have us all bewailing the fate of the poor British farmer.

“New Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has vowed to reverse the Chancellor's hated inheritance tax raid on farmers."  (Dailey Express: 15/11/24)

and

“Nigel Farage admits he is 'really worried' about family farmers facing inheritance tax raid."  (GB News: 14/11/24)

Yet according to FarmingUK (21/11/23)

“Average business income by type of farm in England rose to £96,100 in 2022-2023 despite higher costs, according to the latest Defra figures.”

To be fair £96,100 is not a lot of money, with some farms doing better than others. Pig farmers for example had an average income of £135,000 for 2023/24 (Pigworld: 15/11/24) while some upland farmers only made £23,500 for the same time period. (GOV.UK: ‘Farm Business Income by type of farm in England 2023/24)

One thing the right wing media and commentators don’t tell you about are the deliberate reductions in farmers incomes introduced by the Tories, who began progressively cutting the amount of taxpayer subsidies they received through the Basic Payment Scheme. For the year 2022/23 farmers suffered a 19% cut in payments.

Neither do the right wing media ever admit the devastating cost of Brexit to British farmers.

“UK farmers face bankruptcies and closures as £1.8bn in EU cash stops with MPs warning ‘blind Brexit optimism’ may lead to higher food prices."  (cityam.com:16/01/22)

I would of thought “bankruptcy and closure” are far worse than the yearly handful of farms having to pay inheritance tax.

This is not to deny that some farmers are really struggling financially to make a living. But in a free market neo-liberal economy the sad fact is the weak are MEANT to go to the wall. This, it is argued, increases efficiency and productivity with only the most productive businesses surviving in a competitive market.  Given the majority of farmers have always supported  the Tories, perhaps they should of paid more attention to what  happens to turkeys when they  vote for Christmas!

The Tories signed a trade deal with Australia that undercuts the price of British farm produce because under the deal Australian imported food stuffs do not have to be produced to the same safeguarding standards as is legally required of British farmers. In addition, Kemi Badenoch is calling for a similar deal with the USA which will  not only see cheaper imports of food but food produced to lower standards, such as hormone-treated beef and chlorinated chicken.

Maybe protesting farmers should look to who the real enemy is? If cheaper, poorer quality foreign food is allowed to flood our markets then they wont have a farm to pass on to relatives because they will have gone bust.

It is not as though the inheritance tax rules will affect that many farmers. Treasury figures reveal that for 2021/22, 1730 farms were passed on to relatives of which 1264 were worth less than £1 million. This equates to around 500 farms a year being subject to the new 20% inheritance tax, hardly the great “tax raid” on farmers that the right-wing media would have us believe.

Farmers Weekly (17/01/23) informs us that according to research land ownership is dominated by the aristocracy, who hold almost one-third of land.  Next come large corporations, which may have invested in land for its tax-saving opportunities, followed by tycoons.

Is this what all the protests are really about? The landed gentry, rich corporations, tycoons and oligarchs, trying to avoid paying tax on their assets?

Let me leave the last word to the Tory supporting Telegraph:

“Wealthy investors are hovering up agricultural land in order to avoid inheritance tax, pushing prices to record highs, and forcing out farmers." (18/06/23)

Maybe the new farmland inheritance tax will actually SAVE some farms. Now there's a thought!

[makeitinkorea]

Sur MAKE IT IN KOREA, les secrets et les apparences sont au coeur de l’intrigue — un concept qui peut parfois devenir bateau, c'est pour cette raison que nous avons choisi d'y ajouter un petit twist. Les secrets toucheront aussi les joueurs derrière leurs écrans.

En général, lorsqu'un personnage a un secret, il est expliqué dès sa fiche et / ou peut se découvrir facilement en RP. Sur MIIK, un forum où tout se base sur les apparences, nous avons installé un système de face cachée ou vrai visage qui prend place dès la fiche de présentation.

La façon dont votre personnage se présente au monde sera la façon dont vous le présenterez au forum. Dans votre fiche de présentation, vous pourrez mentir sur son âge, son prénom, son histoire, son caractère ; tous les mensonges sont permis. Il y aura par la suite la révélation de son vrai visage et son secret qui se fera dans une partie créée spécialement pour ça, où une nouvelle fiche plus courte et concise sera postée ensuite sous [ HIDE ] [ /HIDE ] et à laquelle seules les admins pourront avoir accès et lire. C'est dans cette fiche uniquement que vous parlerez du vrai visage de votre personnage. C'est aussi dans cette fiche que sera révélé son secret ainsi que des indices pouvant mener à ce dernier INRP.

Exemple : Kim Minsu, vingt-six ans, se présente au monde comme ayant grandi à Seoul et serait venu à Hanseo il y a six ans pour ses études. Il est charismatique,  sûr de lui et enjoué. Les autres personnages et les membres le connaîtront ainsi, dans sa fiche de présentation et ses rps. La vérité : Kim Minsu s'appelle Seo Haneul, il a vingt-huit ans, a vécu toute sa vie à Busan et n'est à Hanseo que depuis un an. De nature très calme et réservé. Il est en fuite et recherché pour un crime qu'il n'a pas commis. Les membres, tout comme les personnages, ne seront pas au courant. Il s'agit de sa face cachée. Exemple d'indices pouvant mener à son secret : Il n'existe aucun dossier sur lui dans l'université à laquelle il prétend être allé. Parfois, son accent le trahit. Des articles dans le journal. Etc…

Êtes-vous obligé d'avoir un énorme secret ou un personnage totalement décalé de ce qu'il est en réalité ? La réponse est non. Les personnages ayant bon coeur et moralement bons existent. A vrai dire, votre personnage n'est même pas obligé d'avoir un secret. Néanmoins, poster la présentation cachée est obligatoire pour tout le monde afin de continuer de semer le doute et brouiller les pistes.

Ce concept est accompagné par un système de points. Au lieu d'acheter des réservations d'avatar, des rangs etc, vous pourrez acheter des indices.

Sur le forum, il y a huit familles de chaebols jouables, dont chacune a un secret de famille. Si vous décidez de jouer un membre d'une des familles, ce secret vous sera ou non dévoilé en MP à la validation. En effet, tous les membres de la famille ne sont au courant de ce secret. Bien entendu, votre personnage a également (ou non) un secret en dehors du secret de famille.

FAQ — LES QUESTIONS QUE VOUS POURREZ VOUS POSER. 01. Un personnage peut-il être au courant du secret d'un autre ? : Bien sûr, et par conséquent, le.a joueur.euse aussi. De ce fait nous vous demanderont de mettre chaque partie évoquant le secret de votre personnage ou d'un autre personnage, sous HIDE dans vos rps, même si la partie a l'air insignifiante à vue d'oeil. Un personnage peut aussi ne pas connaître le secret d'un autre, mais connaître d'autres aspects cachés, comme son vrai nom, son vrai caractère, sa vraie histoire etc. 02. Comment créer un prélien en rapport avec mon secret ? : Plusieurs options s'offrent à vous. La première serait de préciser dans votre fiche de pré-lien que ce dernier a un rapport avec votre secret et rester évasif sur votre lien, n'en parler qu'en surface. Lorsque le membre s'inscrira, c'est à ce moment là que vous pourrez en parler librement et lui donner toutes les informations dont iel a besoin. Le deuxième serait d'envoyer la fiche de prélien au compte fondateur, en utilisant des pseudonymes dans cette dernière, qui la postera ensuite dans la partie adéquat. Par la suite, la personne intéressée par le pré-lien s'inscrira avec un nom et un prénom et contactera le compte PNJ pour qu'une admin lui révèle le.a créateur.ice du pré-lien. 03. Que se passe-t-il lorsque mon secret est révélé ? : Vous êtes supprimé du forum (c'est faux). Nana et Yuko, les "gossip girls" du forum, écriront sur votre personnage dans son blog et il devra en payer les conséquences IRP. Un peu un game over dans lequel vous pourrez quand-même continuer de jouer.

Pour un bon fonctionnement, tout doit aussi venir de vous. La seule chose que l'on vous demande est de jouer le jeu pour le bon fonctionnement du forum ! Cela inclut ne pas révéler le secret de votre personnage, ou révéler les secrets que vous connaissez à tout le monde IRL.

A noter que ce n'est qu'un teaser ! Plus d'informations sur ce système vous attendent à l'ouverture du forum ! Si vous avez la moindre question, n'hésitez pas à nous envoyer un ask et nous répondrons avec plaisir !

Le concept de présentation et de « face cachées » est inspiré du concept déjà mis en place sur Crimson Veils et revisité avec l'autorisation de ses admins Corvidae, Sokosid et Awona un grand merci à iel !

Labour MP from Birmingham says she'd take her kid to the psychiatrist if her daughter said what Lili did and other scathing commentary about the Nigeria trip (From Have I Got News For You) by u/wonderingwondi

Labour MP from Birmingham says she'd take her kid to the psychiatrist if her daughter said what Lili did, and other scathing commentary about the Nigeria trip (From Have I Got News For You) Jess Phillips MP was in disbelief over Meghan's claim that Lili said "Mama, I see me in You" on last week's Have I Got News For You, a topical comedic news show in its 67th seriesJess is a major Labour frontbencher and could end up as a top government minister in July. She's also based in Birmingham, where Invictus wants to be held in 2027.How to watch https://ift.tt/dk0J9wb (apologies, cannot find an international link right now)transcript:Jason Manford: In a Busy Week, what did the King not have time to do?Jess: Didn't see Harry, who came over, for some reason. I can't remember.Jason: Invictus Games, I thinkJess: Oh, is it the Invictus Games?Ian Hislop, the most sued man in Britain, allegedly: But I mean, they were in the same city at the same timeJess: I'm often in the same city as my dad, and I don't go and see him. I mean, like, not every day. Maybe he's going to pop in another time.Ian: Have you written a book about him called I Hate You?*audience laughs*Jess: No. I don't hate my dad, FYI.Glenn Moore: I think Charles saw David Beckham instead... No offence to my own son, I would do the same...Jason: Where did Harry go next?Ian: Nigeria. he went on a royal tour,Glenn: Oh, that's that prince who emailed meIan: They went on what wasn't a royal tour... but it looked a lot like a royal tourJason: Harry and Meghan went on a three day trip to Nigeria. According to the Daily Mail, all anyone could talk about was Meghan's dramatically long hair. Is that what you guys have been chatting about this week?Jess: Yeah, the people of Birmingham hardly speak of little elseJason: Meghan did make a motivational speech, as per. What did she tell a group of students?Ian: She said her daughter, Lilibet, had said to her, "When I look at you I see you in me" which is pretty good for a two year old. it just makes me feel like my own children were a bit thick.Jason, reading quote: "A few weeks ago, she looked at me and saw the reflection in my eyes, and said, 'mama, I see me in you'. Now, she was talking really literally, but I hung onto those words and I thought, 'yes, I do see me in you, but as I look around this room I see myself in all of you as well'... Jason interrupts; Oh, everybody's gone *audience laughs*Jason continued: I imagine that is what happened on the dayJess: The idea that a two year old said that. about her own kid> She said something with poo in it and then laughed. And if she didn't, then take your kid to see a psychiatrist. What's wrong with them?...Jess talks about another one of her kids running into a wall with a bucket on his head whilst top toff Jacob Rees Mogg's 6 year old was reading a book on the Romans, wearing a suit. post link: https://ift.tt/iPB47A2 author: wonderingwondi submitted: May 25, 2024 at 01:17AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

The Climate and Nature bill is set to be voted on in Westminster tomorrow (Friday 24/01/2025). If you are in the UK, please write to your MP to tell them that this issue matters to you, and they should be there tomorrow to vote in favour. The key aims of the bill are:

Cut emissions in line with our international 2015 Paris Agreement-aligned Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)—expanded to include international aviation and shipping.

Halt and reverse ecosystem decline in nature across the UK by 2030—in line with the mission of the 2022 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Take responsibility for Britain’s overseas footprints—both emissions and ecological.

Prioritise nature in decision-making—and end fossil fuel production and imports as rapidly as possible. ● Ensure no-one and no community is left behind in the nature positive just transition needed—through fairness provisions. ● Involve the public—giving people a say in finding a fair way forward through a Climate and Nature Assembly.
