Positional Trading: A Way to Long-Term Gains

Positional trading involves holding on to stocks for an extended period, typically from a few weeks to several months, in an effort to capture major market trends. In oppose to day trading, positional trading allows for a more relaxed approach, since traders try to profit from larger price movements rather than quick, daily gains. Therefore, be prepared to learn in detail what exactly positional trading is and how it can benefit you as a trader.

[so-i-did-this-thing]

American trans pals, life is going to get hard. We know that. I could write a long post about strategies for coming years, but I feel like that will only create decision paralysis here on Day 1.

So, some little things to do today and tomorrow towards becoming a more resilient person:

Refill your meds / schedule your next bloodwork appt or other healthcare visits you need - prioritize your health. If you can only do 1 thing today, do this, because it's the end of the year and you might not get on the books for a while.

Cancel a subscription you don't need, or that free trial that is about to expire - small steps to saving money

Pick up a passport form at the post office. If you don't need it, get one for a friend who does

Get a notebook and/or folder for printouts. You will use it soon for collecting hard copies of future healthcare options outside your home state, while the information can still be found online

Get a box or bin. You will want to start collecting items around your home to sell/donate/trash in the interests of downsizing. But just get a box or two today.

Talk to a friend

Get some rest

I can't promise we'll be ok, but we can try to set ourselves up so we bend instead of breaking in this storm.

[asharaks]

it is, i think, symptomatic of the way larian has built this brand: bg3 was always marketed as being mature (read: sexual), and that was one of the big draws for players - myself included! especially as media pulls more towards extremes, with mainstream video games starting to get increasingly graphically sexual, graphically violent, and the vogue for 'grey morality' becomes the norm, those boundaries get pushed, and it becomes more and more of a selling point.

larian obviously focused on this, along with the How Do You Do, Fellow Kids brand, the increased accessibility of game devs on twitter, and adopted it heavily into their marketing strategy, and are now pretty reliant on the horny gamer crowd for a lot of their audience, and more importantly, they're doing this on purpose.

which is how you end up in situations like this.

characters (white men) the players want to fuck get centred: they get updates, they get more content, they get favoured. halsin's gone from a side character in EA to a half-fledged romance option, to a full romance option: he shows up in the promotional material, is larian's poster boy for the sex scenes, he gets more content with every update.

now gortash gets more heavily implied situationship lines with the dark urge, because players are horny for him. nevermind that some people aren't playing that way, or that he was originally set up to be a lower-level antagonist; nevermind that if the durge's storyline needed expansion, it should've been with orin and sarevok and bhaal, or that it muddies the writing for the rest of gortash's arc + characterisation: people want to fuck him, so it gets put in the game. it's not even to do with karlach, whose quest so desperately needs expansion! it's specifically catering to the people who want their character to have a Relationship with the slaver, because they're either not interested in or not able to focus on strengthening the weak spots in the narrative: they're just doing things that will net the 'my favourite dating sim' people lmfao.

meanwhile, literal main character wyll gets his quest demoted to a subquest, doesn't get bugfixes, doesn't get a single unique romance greeting after 6 patches and months of requests. he's not a Horny character, so he doesn't get the focus: he's not a player favourite, so he gets nothing. it's just... so unbelievably, indisputably racist, and it's incredibly grim and disappointing to watch it happen in real-time.

Back in the olden days, if you used the "keep reading" function on a Tumblr-dot-com post, it would

not get very many notes.

At all.

I am not sure exactly why.

I think people hated pressing an extra thing.

But maybe it was also a psychological phenomenon where, given the choice, they were unwilling to trust me with their time.

But if I sucked them in with a good story or a compelling image, they would get serious FOMO.

When I created a super high effort post-of-length I would get comments like, "This was way too long but before I realized it I was reading the last sentence."

That was a really good feeling.

I used to do tests to figure out the best posting strategies and I think I figured out you'd lose about 90% of your notes if you did a "keep reading" post.

So that notion was ingrained in my brain again and again from when I was very note-obsessed and I have since avoided the "keep reading" option almost like a conditioned response.

Just seeing that squiggly line appear still induces a Pavlovian fear.

But that was probably a decade ago and I did a new experiment. My story about replacing my mailbox did reasonably well with a strategically clickbaity "keep reading."

This was a promising result due to the fact that some people like to send me hate for writing a lengthy post.

I recently got a death threat for writing too much, which was a fun reminder of my M&M days (I melted men's rights activists' brains with a poorly worded analogy and they launched a years long harassment campaign).

It seems in present-era-Tumblr-dot-com many more people prefer pressing an extra thing rather than scrolling a bunch on their smartphone. The collective behavior has changed. And maybe I don't need to use tricks and running gags in order to get folks to "keep reading".

Unfortunately I started writing that ring light post a few months ago so I wasn't able to include that in the experiment. But I am going to try using the keep reading function in the future and as long as the average number of folks that usually read my longer posts continue to read my posts, that will be the standard approach.

I also tag these posts with "long post" so you can flag that if you wish.

While I am no longer in the audience-building phase of my Tumblr career, these essays and stories and educational posts take a considerable amount of time and effort to create, so I do want to make sure everyone who wants to read them is able to. But posts without hearts and reblogs can quickly die a gruesome algorithmic death. Even my most ardent followers would tell me things were not showing up on their dash. (I think replies help mitigate that, so if you like a long post, you can help with engagement.)

The collective noun is a "business" of ferrets.

Do you want to see a business of ferrets ready to do some business?

KEEP READING

I love writing and it is a huge catharsis for me. And I love sharing any knowledge I feel like I have the earned expertise to speak on with authority (technology, photography, light, fun ferret facts, etc). I wish I had the energy to be a photography teacher, but long posts on Tumblr are probably the best I can do for now.

I know my posts are super long, but I try to make them as fun and informationally dense as I possibly can. I don't like wasting people's time if I can avoid it. Though maybe I should trust my follower's attention span a bit more. I have this fear that if I am not constantly entertaining, people will click away or unfollow.

I think a good business for a business of ferrets would be selling pool noodles that look like ferrets.

So as long as I get roughly the same amount of notes I will do the keep reading. And then maybe people can lay off on the mean comments and occasional requests to end my own life because I bloviated about soft light.

100% true ferret fact..

If you ask a ferret what their business is, they will crawl on your shoulder and whisper in your ear...

How To Find Cool Games: On DriveThruRPG!

So disclaimer upfront: I don’t use the DriveThruRPG website nearly as much as Itch.io. Some of those reasons are practical (there’s no tagging system, the catalogue is rather D&D saturated,), while others are more… well, shallow (the website isn’t as pretty).

However, DriveThruRPG is a very good tool to have in your toolbox when it comes to finding cool ttrpgs, for a number of reasons, the primary one being that it’s for TTRPGS and only TTRPGs! Let’s get started.

The Search Bar / Categories.

You can start by doing a basic search for a game that you already know about, or by searching for a keyword, like “pirates” or “zombies”. You’ll get titles sorted by “relevance”, so things that have the keyword in the name will show up first. One of the biggest downsides of this strategy is that everything kind of gets lumped in here: supplements, maps, expansions, adventures, character sheets… the list goes on. However, you can narrow down what you’re looking for by using the toggles at the top of the website. I personally usually narrow down search results by selecting “Product Type” and then “Core Rulebooks”.

One nice thing DriveThru has compared to Itch.io is that you can combine categories, so if I wanted to brows say, Gothic Horror Core Rulebooks priced under $20, well I can do that! My favourite categories are for genre, but another set of categories that you may find very useful once you’ve familiarized yourself with some games is the Rule System category. There are categories for systems like the Year Zero Engine, Forged in the Dark, BRP (Basic Roleplaying), OSR, and so much more. There’s also “other systems” and “any system” categories if you want to find something that’s unique or that can be used across games.

DriveThru also has a lot of games published in different languages, and you can narrow your results to see what’s been offered in your language. I think there are more options on this website than there are on Itch, although you might benefit by finding one or two publishers in your language on DriveThru, and then check the publisher’s website from there.

The Homepage

Another reason to check out DriveThru regularly is the sales and promotions. The top banner of the homepage will typically advertise a few things: the Deal of the Day, current themed sales, and special offers that DriveThru RPG wants you to know about. Their homepage also has Bestselling Titles, Most Popular Games Under $5, Newest Games, Featured Titles, and, if you scroll down enough, Personalized suggestions. Unlike Itch.io, DriveThru does a lot of work to show you what’s new, what’s hot, and what’s a really good deal right now, which can all be really helpful things!

When you land on a game, you’ll be able to see whether or not DriveThru sells physical copies, some basic information like book size, rule system, publisher & author, and a blurb describing the setting and other general information about the game. DriveThru has a side panel with “Customers also Bought”, which is great for showing you things that you might like, either because they surround the same theme, they work for the same game, or they are in a similar genre. (Another thing that Itch isn’t quite as good at.)

You’ll also be able to see (and leave) reviews for game, including the ratings left by other people who have picked it up. Occasionally I’ll find really useful information in the reviews, as reviewers might talk about mechanics they love or loathe, or recommend styles of play that they feel the game matches.

Finally, like Itch, DriveThru will let you know if you’ve already bought the game, and provide you with a download shortcut.

Publishing House Pages

Larger publishing houses typically have their ttrpg content sorted very nicely for you on their publisher pages, to help you find the things that you want. Modiphius is a great example, sorting Star Trek, Dune, Fallout, and their 2d20 games all in special categories.

Many publishers also have a Community Content section, which is great if you’re looking for assets, new adventures, hacks of a game system and some very reasonably priced (or even cheap) game additions. Similar to Itch, DriveThru has a Pay-What-You-Want feature for many games, although, unlike Itch, most PWYW titles require that you pay a non-zero amount.

Newsletters

When you create an account on DriveThruRPG, you can sign up for various different kinds of newsletters. Some come directly from DriveThru itself: this includes the Follow Your Favourites and Deal of the Day options, as well as weekly/monthly newsletters carrying information about new releases, special promotions, and (often) a free ttrpg product of the month.

However, on top of that, when you purchase a game or follow publishing pages, you can also get emails about new releases specific to those creators, as well as updates if a new version of a game you bought has been added. Often if it’s a game you already bought, this means you own the new version too - something that DriveThru has in common with Itch!

The Follow Your Favourites announcements will line up with whatever you’ve chosen to follow on the website. I’ve asked for updates about new Core Rulebooks, and I also get updates from the Onyx Path and a few other places where I found games I really liked. I also check the Deal of the Day offers fairly regularly; sometimes there are really really good deals offered and if it’s a game you know or like, then you don’t want to miss out on a sale!

Wishlists

DriveThru allows you to add games to wishlists to look at later, and even gives you the ability to sort your wishlists, although the process feels harder to look through than Itch does; I think it might be a UI issue.

However, because it acts like a wishlist, you can move games from the wishlist into your cart and vice versa, as well as move the games to another list. One really nice thing about the wishlist section is that DriveThru will alway show you when something you want is on sale, and how much it is normally - Itch does this too, but in this case, DriveThru is much easier to read!

I mostly sort my wishlists into Core Rulebooks and Supplements, because I don’t have nearly as many games bookmarked on DriveThru. If it exists on Itch, I store it on Itch - but there are plenty of other, “someday’ games, that I want to be able to find again in the future.

Your Library

DriveThruRPG has an app that you can download onto your computer or your phone, and it basically acts as a library that you can look through. In both the webpage and the app, you can sort your purchases alphabetically, from new to old, by publisher, by whether or not they were updated, and using similar categories as the search bar on the store front.

Free things can definitely be found here, even if they’re harder to look for. On DriveThru, most free products are things like character sheets, playtest games, or Quickstarts. However, some publishers do put up their stuff for free. Whenever I can get a Quickstart of something interesting, or if I find something being offered for free, I add it to my library. Free games are how I got started in ttrpgs, and QuickStarts are wonderful introductions to a system that usually give you a good idea of what the game is going to feel like.

Conclusion

Overall, DriveThruRPG is great for folks who like certain big publishing houses, and folks who like a good deal. I personally usually end up on the site because something in my emails caught my eye, which is the opposite of how I navigate Itch. DriveThru was my home base before I discovered Itch.io, so I still have a little fondness for the website, even if looking through it is a little bit of a slog.

One thing that might be a bit of an annoyance is that if you own something from a certain company, they might be able to send you a lot of emails for every sale and new product. If this becomes too much, you can choose to opt out from those publishers.

If you don’t want to have to actively engage with the website as much as say, Itch, DriveThru’s email system is also a big help. You can customize your subscriptions to match what you’re interested in, and then just check your emails once in a while to see what’s on offer. After a while you’ll also learn about yearly events, like the Summer Sale, which often provides big discounts on a lot of different games.

DriveThru is also a great place to start if you’re looking for print versions of games: I don’t know what shipping is like to places outside Canada, but I definitely appreciate that it’s an option, and sometimes all you need to do is find a game or publisher - once you know that it exists, you can google that publisher, check out their website, and figure out the best place to order from there.

Just don't talk--

-and come over. p3 to Just don't talk

summary: Enemies to lovers on steroids. Lando can't stand Y/N, the first female driver in F1. He also can't stand not having her with her clothes on.

warnings: minors do not interact, cursing, a bit of smau...just generally don't take this one too seriously

The following week marked a u-turn in the media strategy of McLaren and Aston Martin. Another set of meetings, very quick as nobody wanted to open a can of worms or cause even more talk on the topic of Y/N and Lando. They studied the material shot for the F1 - and the consensus was to stop the Lando x Y/N part being released out as it gave off strange vibes. It was a mix of pure lack of chemistry and then a sudden spike of sexual tension and a 180 shift. In all fairness it was a bit uncomfortable to watch for the media teams, who had to analyse people they were in direct daily contact.

No unnecessary contact. No joined interviews. Keeping them as apart as possible. Gone were the days where teams would use the sexual tension as a selling point. Times have changed, this would fly really well in 2010's, but now anything of this sorts for a nightmare for PR. Y/N would be undermined. Lando put in a fuck boy category. It wasn't like anyone saw anything happen. None of the people initiating these meetings had even slightest idea that their worst nightmares were only a light version of the truth. If there was ever an elephant in a room, it was this time. Nobody dared to speak their mind. The whisper challenge video came out without the two. Having it cut and deleted from all hard drives was an order and nobody was to speak of it again.

Social media had been strangely quiet, focusing on race related topics. That was until Lando wore a short sleeve, his healing bite mark seeing the light of day and on display for thousands of eyes. How was one suppose to wear long shirts in hot ass countries they were constantly traveling to? Personally, he thought it was cool and there was even a point where he debated having it tattooed - owning the shit out of and taking the power away from Y/N. Max, his best friend, stopped him. But the thought still lingered back in his mind. It had been a little too long since their last night session. Jerking off was fine, but never good enough. The bite mark caused quite the stir among his fans, but he honestly gave little to no shit about that. He was not going to contact her first though. The last thing he would do is to simp up to her. So when there was a hot model present at one their random club night outs, he did not think twice. It was a little too easy for his liking, but he needed to blow some steam. He could have been discreet, he really could. But why? There was a part of him that was excited to see how this would resonate with Y/N. The violent make out outside the club really was not necessary. Especially when Lando knew that there was a photographer sitting nearby patiently, about to make a living out of a Lando's whim.

When Lando scrolled instagram the next morning, he has a little too proud smile on his face. He would never admit it out loud, not even to himself, that Y/N was on his mind when he fucked the brunette. Mediocre night at best. What worried him a bit was that bad sex was something he almost forgot existed. Of course that Y/N saw it. It was one of the first things that popped up on her phone that morning. It did not bother her. Not even closely. She just had a good energy streak, that was her reply to her trainer when she nearly broke the rowing machine at the gym. She uninstalled instagram later in the afternoon, trying to get the instagram girl's face out of her memory.

There was no way she'd be the one texting him for a late night hook up now. Maybe it was for the better in the end. Focusing on racing only now and even potentially beating him on the track. Night got a little too lonely without the option to have him over, on her and under her. She tried baking, reading, got really into chemistry related youtube videos, yet drinking and working out seemed to be the only thing to really work.

Two long weeks passed until she finally received a text. She ignored that her heart skipped a beat when she saw his name on her phone screen.

"Bro. What are we going to do now?"

She rolled her eyes. What a lame ass opening. No point in playing the waiting game, so she replied immediately. She could care less.

"Aw, got bored and miss some quality fucking?" She second guessed the text right after sending. Was that too desperate? She thew the phone away for few minutes. One late night unnecessary coffee later, she picked it right back up.

"No, you little shit. You not on socials or what?"

A screenshot followed.

There were PR nightmares and there was this kind of disaster. Instagram and Tik Tok got installed back immediately. She watched some cuts and edits from their video, low quality snips that were not giving any full image. Comment after comment, the creativity not being of concern to anyone. All of the same note. Is there more to their obvious dislike of each other? There were only few who were concern by why did most of the leak footage give such a hostile vibe. Lando's eye fucking was more of an attractive topic.

She scrolled for few minutes, watching a new shift on their public image unfold. It was mostly the hardcore fans, not really something the big outlets took interest in at the moment. But there was one theme that followed - people were curious. Panic set over her, mind started racing in all possible scenarios. And then did something for the first time - she dialed Lando's number. He picked up reluctantly.

"How did it get out?" she asked right away.

"Hello to you too. And the fuck would I know."

"Seems like something that would fit into your current portfolio, so yeah, I am asking directly."

Lando smiled proudly. She was jealous. Oh, what he would do to see her face now.

"Hate to disappoint, but I don't have the need for cheap attention." Liar, all he wanted was for her to notice him.

"Ok, assuming nobody from your team or my team did, who got it out?"

"I severely overestimated your ability to focus on the important thing here, apparently."

"So you tell me, Mr. Genius."

"Like I said before you invaded my evening by this panic phone call. What are we going to do? The last thing I'd want is for someone to find out...about us." It felt strange for both of them, to hear him say it like that. Like it wasn't a problem. Every time someone put them together in a sentence, it had been a bad connotation. But not his tone, this one time.

"Well, I don't know, I've only had a minute to process."

"Oh, take your time, of course. Time flies really slowly on social media, so yeah, I'd say you have about a year or so to react."

"Well, we're obviously not going to react anyway."

"I really hope they don't force us to. I'm getting sick of all the media team meddling in. It's their fault in the first place," he said, unamused.

"Yeah, you're right. Good defense, I will use that if they bring it up."

"Don't worry, you'll get my invoice for consulting in your email tomorrow."

"Aw, McLaren not paying enough?"

"I'm sorry, you're still at Aston, correct?"

"Shut it, Norris. So that's it? We'll just not react and let it go?"

"I mean, what else is there to do. Denying anything will only bring up more questions. It's not like people will believe we're friends."

"That, my friend, is true."

"I'm a smart boy, not only a sex god."

"Uhm." Trouble is that he really really was.

"So we'll just let it die out?"

"Yeah. When someone mentions it, we can say that we just don't get along and that's that."

"Great, no lie there."

There were few seconds of quiet tension. Panic was somehow over, but the high adrenaline stayed. It was late evening, their usual prime time. Would they? Should they? Y/N was debating whether she wanted to see Lando again with the vibe he was setting around himself lately putting her off a bit. But then there was the need for territorial claim. Built up energy that wanted to get out. Both of them silently trying to come up with a line good enough for Lando to come over and "dance" with Y/N in a way no friend would. Lando took a breath to speak, but Y/N was quicker.

"So, wanna come over for a work out?" He was over at her place within 25 minutes.

[lillified]

regarding your piece “outlaws” is it intended to be like an apartment or a spaceship? until corrected, and probably still after, i’m choosing to believe that swindle is doing the equivalent of living in his van

that being said, where *do* the other (they don’t let him inside 💔) decepticons live? I don’t think it’s been shown thus far

hey, that’s a great question!

the “outlaws” piece you see is from an earlier point in the war, and the location is Swindle’s passenger ship, The Knave. It isn’t meant to be a living space, but he’s converted it and uses it a bit like an RV/motor home. Since he spent most of his time (and kept a lot of his stuff) in there, it was one of his prized possessions. In the Outlaws pic he has it parked in a mostly Autobot occupied part of downtown Protihex, where he operates it like a caravan to sell weapons and things to patrolling soldiers.

This actually brings up a great opportunity to talk a bit more about locations, specifically airships and spaceships (I promise it’s relevant to the main Cons);

So, there are many different types of aircraft (beyond the Bots who can physically fly, obviously). On the smallest side you get tactical drones and fighter craft, which are either remotely manned or manned by one Bot, who physically controls the ship by hooking up to a sensory chamber-style pod. These are much less ideal than having a flightforme, but were developed out of necessity, given the central Cybertronian government and fliers have tended to be on opposite sides at different points of history (this trend remains true for the Autobots, who are at a severe deficiency).

Next up are scout ships, which fit a small squadron of Cybertronians (think the size of the X wing in starwars).

After that you get into passenger ship territory, where aircraft have multiple rooms. Swindle’s ship fits this category. They aren’t intended as mobile residences and moreso exist to carry large quantities of ‘Bots over a longer distance, like a train or a cruise ship with basic amenities, but as the war progressed it was hard not to find different uses for them.

Passenger ships can be very specialized, and the only major difference between the larger varieties and true warships is that passenger ships aren’t outfitted with guns or any other involved defenses. Ferry ships are extremely massive passenger ships designed in Nova’s expansion era with the intent of carrying nearly a city’s worth of people across space, to populate new colonies. As suggested, most of these ships were built well before the war, so their defense capabilities weren’t geared for conflict.

The last category, as suggested, are warships. Most warships were manufactured during the war, but there are some that were recovered from pre-Quintesson era. These can range in size from the capacity of a small hotel to an entire military base, or even a city. Their scope is only limited by the ability to fuel them, and many warships were designed to act as mobile camps in the event of crisis and exodus.

As of the current day, the Decepticons have essentially been exiled. The last major conflict on Cybertron put the Autobots in control of most major territories and left both sides materially decimated. Until they can regroup and establish resource control again, the only real strategy the Decepticons have is to lay low and survive.

This leaves Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Lockdown, Ravage, and Knockout on the Determination, which is a small scale warship. Like many slapdash offensive craft, it is flimsy and unreliable, but currently their only real option.

You haven’t seen most of it, but I can give you some sneak peeks:

you’ll see what these are for very soon…

As of right now, that’s all I have for you on spacecraft! I hope that answered your question :) thanks!

Idea for a game: a cyberpunk megacorp CEO simulator. The setting is an alternate 80s where the US dissolved into a free-trade zone, the USSR fell even more catastrophically and China also got completely privatized with the fall of communism, so capital reigns supreme. There are many corporations in the world, but yours is one of the few megacorporations, the conglomerates that can own everything from digital cassettes to jet fighter manufacturing.

It's an strategy game but you do NOT play as the company, you explicitly play as the CEO, as That Guy. You do have a big map to set strategies and play with stocks, but you have to meet with people, talk to them, and keep them under your thumb one way or the other. You can interact with other corporates, national governments, criminals, etc. In fact, for most of your work, you actually send other people to do it, and you better watch they're loyal to it. The mechanics are very similar to Crusader Kings actually, where you do not deal with "countries" but rather fiefdoms, that is, corporations, that are ruled by interpersonal relationships.

The "fun" part is that this is not just a strategy game, you ARE the CEO. So you can spend your money in stuff, in fact, you need to "destress", in the character creation you choose hobbies and likes and if you don't do it you start to get penalties. And that means you can chat up supermodels of the gender you choose, get stimulants of any kind (some might get hidden options), buy luxurious properties and skins for your character and office, but all that costs (in game) money, ridiculous amounts of money, and you have to go into the corporation earnings to get some. You are actually encouraged to be a corrupt bastard if you want to chat up your favorite waifu, she wants a mansion in Italy and are you gonna say no to her?

Just because of the position you're in, you're basically a terrible person. You don't really have the option to sell everything and act ethically as the shareholders will depose you, to keep earning more you have to do terrible stuff (and nobody cares) and you are openly encouraged to live your life of luxury, otherwise you might have a stress breakdown and get fired by shareholders (which are always trying to depose you or kill you, anyways). All of this is of course fueled by the exploitation of workers all over the world. And history hasn't ended. The more you play, the more that revolutionary fervor rises in the third world and then the imperial core. This is completely out of your control, and you might get the guillotine ending.

The entire aesthetic, of course, resembles a PC-98 game.

The goal with this PR: Turn Natalie popular and respected as a significant name in the Industry, while boosting his manhood, especially after her rep was exposed and screwed his image. An agreement that aimed a gain for both. But, instead of turning her respectful, the plot disgraced his image, exposing her to public execration, because the woman is a redneck promiscuous, with no style nor class, probably you know what, taken from an adult site offering companionship and wasn't prepared to be shown publicly as his PR, shocking with his fake persona. She wasn't previously prepared for that PR and had to be coached as it happened. A PR stunt which was initially, planned to last a year. But, the events that came with this lousy PR (with precedents), had them renewing the contract. And the spell turned against the Witcher. What is it? Were they really that out of option that had to appeal to an escorting adult site only to boost his manhood? How desperate is he to promote he's straight? That's decadence!

I really don't understand how his team could mess up so badly and not care for who the PR would be, 'cause there were precedents. And, these precedents showed the holes on his PR team. I might be wrong, but it's possible someone spotted those holes in his lousy team work and in his disposition to sign PR contracts without knowing who the woman would be. And this somebody planted Natalie, a promiscuous redneck, strategically chosen apparently, from Mayhem site, as his next PR, with the goal to unmask him, knocking his persona down so people would see the real Henry as a hypocrite. All they had to do was to convince him to sign the contract without knowing who he was signing with, which was easy for dignity, definitely, doesn't come before fame to him. Vanity and greed came first.

My doubt is if Natalie was consciously part of this plan or not. My guess is she knew and accepted the prank. And later, was, apparently convinced to play by his side (or maybe, staging to agree so she would manipulate him to get along with the plot). Florida Coffees Shop - That's when things had a turning point. So, they continued with the plot so he would avoid being exposed as a Hollywood escort who, expecting to boost his fake Prince Perfect image in a PR stunt, signed a deal without knowing who the PR would be and was deceived by a slut, while buying sardin as caviar. At the same time, sardin managed to arrange more time to be in the spotlight. Well, now he will have to get used to sardin for a very long time.

As damage control, the team managing this shenanigan (Not exactly Natalie) decides to be indirectly aggressive, cracking his fandom apart so fans would go against fans and do his team's dirty work, expecting part of this fandom would be able to promote him positively and make this fuss go away. What they did was put fuel to fire (An idiocy) and the strategy only turned things worse and made fans more reactive. So, his team decides to play dirtier with his approval, by teasing fans even more, promoting Natalie as a bully bitch, using the MTV show as part of her portfolio to sell the image of the spoiled brat, after trying to sell the image of the executive producer. They were completely lost and had no idea of what they were doing. Amateurs!

This made some fans buy the blackmail narrative for Henry, believing he was Natalie's victim and a victim of the fandom's "hate". He became a naive actor not accountable for the contract he signed. Please! Give me a break! Well, in part, he really signed it blindly. He didn't even check the woman's rep, maybe because he didn't know who she would be, before signing it. This explains part of this crap. But, his team manipulated the fandom, confusing, gaslighting, bullying and instigating them to turn this plot into an imbroglio to, then and intentionally, accuse the fandom of being his tormentor, accountable for the confusion against him, so he would play the victim, who knew nothing and was not responsible for accepting the deal he probably signed without knowing who the PR would be (the trap someone used to screw with him).

How to respect an actor who pretends to be someone else to boost a fake image of himself, uses dishonest, narcissistic and abusive strategies to fight bad publicity, the same time he exposes a woman to public execration to create a fuss for a diversion, while throwing his fandom under the bus with no respect for them, to avoid accountability for the disastrous' PR strategies he adopted and to save his ass? Putting fans against fans and trying to make them accountable was a dirty low move that clearly reveals the Character of the involved, including Henry Cavill's, who accepted all this BS to keep his image intact and avoid exposing that he signed an escorting deal without even knowing who the woman would be.

Their strategies were dishonest, low, abusive, misogynist and, thank God, didn't work, for it was also too late and he had been exposed, thanks to his fake promiscuous girlfriend - who he's proud of and with whom he ended up getting sexually involved with as a compensation for what he caused her - and mainly, his manager, actually a pimp and PR lousy team, who had already screwed it. They tried to make a fool of fans, who were diminished to "unenlightened idiots, toxic haters and old jealous ladies over 40" as a narcissistic strategy (despite being his fandom partially composed by gay men), because Henry and his team didn't have the guts to face their stupidities. This PR was the perfect example on how to screw a famous actor's life.

Meanwhile, they tried to convince you with the narrative of Henry as a victim blackmailed by a hysterical, impulsive, demanding and violent PR so he could, somehow, recover part of the fandom's support, the part they had sacrificed. Don't fall for that. I believe this narrative of a hysterical, violent, impulsive and abusive PR that even uses physical force against him, is a big fat lie. They tried to use a Depp x Amber image in this plot. In order to convince you he was a victim, they threw Natalie under the bus for a fuss, who accepted to play the part for her lack of self respect and for giving a f*ck to her dignity. Sorry, but that's a little too much. It's so clear the frustrated attempts of his team and the lousy damage control they tried to make. It's actually pathetic and it only jeopardizes his image even more, making him look like a jerk with a dubious Character.

Many were the public events in which it is CLEAR AS WATER, that he's not being obligated to show her any affection. But he willingly did. He was not obligated to. But, he did, thinking he was pissing his "jealous and hater fans". He ended up getting involved as a compensation for throwing her under the bus and she accepted the crumbs. As an example, in the premiere in which HE - Yes! He! - comes with the idea whispered in her year they would kiss at the end of the pic. He thought he was in control, but, what he didn't realize, was that he was being manipulated by the slut who wanted the entire escorting service and by these same fans he sacrificed, to go straight into the rabbit hole. He felt compelled when actually pushed (because of his stubbornness) to continue putting fuel to fire. He was his own tormentor and enemy. 🤪🤪🤪

It wasn't jealousy, Henry! But, your Character is too narrow to see. He could have just posed for the pics, but HE WANTED AND DECIDED to go further, staging affection and getting involved, thinking he would piss his "jealous and hater" fans. And later, the pregnancy. Oh! Boy! Is he a dumbass or what? This PR stunt wasn't what pissed your fans, Henry. 'Cause most of them know you are a professional Hollywood escort having many PR stunts on your past. What made them react was the dishonest, abusive and narcissistic strategies you used while throwing them under the bus to save your ass.

Yes, the pregnancy was his idea and Natalie wasn't initially, fond of it. Because, he was uncomfortable with the critics, pissed for being severely criticized and for being a dumbass for exposing a woman in such a low way. He ended up moved by what he had put his promiscuous PR through, feeling a "moral obligation" (What a contradiction!) to support and defend her, while exposing her to public execration (Yes! He is contradictory). He wanted to show his "hater and jealous" fans the support he had decided to give her, as a stubborn 5-year old when not having what he wants when he wants. And he tripped on his own feet. No one made him so miserable as himself for playing the clown. No one made him a victim, but himself.

The worst is not being a cheap Hollywood escort. The worst is, as this escort, gaslighting people because you don't WAN'T (despite having the chance) to be honest to them and chose to promote a promiscuous tramp as a respectful woman to save your own ass, while coming with that "Dignity before fame" crap. Oh! But, they stopped gaslighting fans with this PR. No, they didn't. They only chose a different strategy: Social Media fake fan pages to create fake narratives to manipulate, follow and gaslight you. They are now creating profiles on pages like IG and Tumblr to go after you, to try to discredit you, who spits the tea and exposes what this really is.
