I know both series have already started, but between Doctor Elise or 7th Time Loop which one do you like the most and also have you read their manhwa and light novels respectively?

Ooo tough question tough question!

Mind you, I read 7th Time Loop (the LN) around late summer 2023 or not too long after the anime was announced, while I read Surgeon Elise (the webtoon adaptation) about 2-3 weeks ago, so the latter is fresher in mind. Keep in mind that a lot of what I will say is also subjective and up to personal taste.

tldr: I prefer 7th Time Loop best. If I had to sum things up simply, I started reading Surgeon Elise for Elise and stayed for Elise (and Linden to an extent), whereas I started readin 7th Time Loop for Rishe and stayed for Rishe, Arnold, Theodore, Rishe's previous lives, the intrigue and the world building.

More under the cut for details:

Imo I prefer 7th Time Loop because it does a great job of balancing and progressing its plot, its world building and its interpersonal relationships.

Rishe is a wonderfully competent, sharp, and kind female lead. It's always a surprise to see how Rishe'll react to meeting familiar faces, and her dealing with people she knows from previous lives (yet who aren't quite the same as she remembers) and it makes you excited to see what's next. Trying to gauge how much of herself and her knowledge to reveal and how much to keep under wraps is also part of the mystery and the charm.

But the characters who surround her (Arnold, his brother, the people from her previous lives) are just as interesting and important in the story. They all shape the world Rishe lives in through their actions/words, and their existence has repercussions on the story.

On the other hand, the most developed characters in Surgeon Elise are Elise herself and Linden (which makes sense, they're the main couple, so of course both parties will get developed). The other characters kinda take a back seat or only serve a purpose for early plot points before kinda... being forgotten? For example, in early Surgeon Elise when she's doing volunteering at the hospital, Graham is lauded as a medical genius and prodigy and is meant to serve as a way to measure/showcase Elise's prowesses. He supports her early on, but is quickly pushed to the side once Elise progresses past his skills (he does show up again during the war arc, but his role is much more minor to the point you could write him out without missing much).

(In other words, if you gave me a bonus chapter focused on Graham or other side characters in Surgeon Elise, I guess I would read it, but if you gave me a bonus chapter focused on Theodore, Michel, Kaine, etc, I would devour it asap).

Another element which 7th Time Loop does incredibly well is the world building: it plays a very important part in everyone's lives instead of just being relegated to the background. Political, religious, geographical and economical considerations all come into play because they give rise to the obstacles Rishe and Arnold must face while also shaping the solutions they come up with (this makes more sense if you've read V3 or V4 of the LN). However, it's all introduced gradually and always tied with new characters (so let's say if chara X from country Y shows up in the story, Rishe will give a brief description of that country and its ties/importance to Galkhein), so it doesn't feel like a lore dump.

You couldn't just swap country X for country Y, because each country is unique in its geographical location, its environment, its natural resources, and its relations to Galkhein and other neighboring nations.

To be fair to Surgeon Elise, the focus of the story is on Elise herself and the advancements she brings to medicine, so there's not quite as much place or importance for her country's internal or external policies compared to 7th Time Loop. It's a much more self-contained and character-driven story, so the span of the world buiding is also more concise and focused on the roles/classes of the immediate people around Elise (for example, her brother getting circumscribed in the war because he's a noble in order to bolster the army's manpower)

(In other words, take out the lore in Elise and you wouldn't miss much, but take out the lore in 7th Time Loop and there would be a lot of holes/missing pieces).

It's important to note that I've compared 7th Time Loop the LN to Surgeon Elise the webcomic. It's very possible that some of the things I found lacking in Surgeon Elise is because of its medium (I suppose a webcomic has less time and space to go into details into characters's personal motivation, backstories, world building, etc than a light novel), but the story was still cute and entertaining enough :P

was gonna create a more in depth list, but instead heres a rapid fire bullet points on my general impression of stormbloods main story before post patch content

no specific complaints gameplay wise.

theres a good story here that wants to break out of stormbloods uneven story.

highlights included the doma portion of the story and the azim steppe, though that was in part because i was playing a xaela wol whos self imagined backstory fit the story being told.

the low point was probably the very start of things if im being honest. stormblood doesn't make a strong first impression riding off the spectacular ending of heavensward post patch content.

returning to ala mhigo from doma, things get a bit better in the land of ala mhigo story wise. ultimately though i find the overall package of stormbloods main story to be disappointing, because it feels like either one of these stories deserved an entire expansion to themselves to flesh everything out. instead they awkwardly share a single body.

lyse is the biggest casualty so to speak of stormbloods uneven writing i would say. its not hard to see what they're trying to do with her, and i would even say it has a lot of potential for a really moving character story as she matures into a leader worth following. to paraphrase the not youth however, stormblood doesn't "cook" lyses story enough for the resolution to hit in the way it needed to. we are informed about lyse having great leadership qualities, but we never really get to see them in action, where as what we see her doing is usually pretty emphatically not leadership things but rather adventurer things. at worst she comes across as a figurehead once again imitating others for lack of her own individual qualities, at best it feels like her development happened when you weren't looking. not helped by how she ironically just feels like diet yida in terms of her character traits outside of that.

speaking of informed traits though. zenos. for a supposed tactical genius master general of unorthodox strategies, we really don't get to see any of that do we. what we do get to see is a perfect exemplar of garlean colonial policy and ideology, a man so used to the power and privilege of his position that he wields his awesome might with little care or regard for the consequences. a beatstick who can power his way through any problems and takes that as intrinsic proof of his righteousness and mastery. but thats not what they're going for, they're going more for a hxh hisoka kind of character, a warrior savant of such uncontrollable bloodlust it affects everything he does and thinks, and a man who lives only for the hunt of powerful prey. thing is, with hisoka it makes sense and facilitates what happens in the plot. he acts capricious and allies with the heroes on multiple occasions well also allying with the villains only to betray everyone, because it fits with his motivations. hes out only for himself and his own amusement, and enjoys risking his life on seemingly impossible bets or against the insanely powerful. hes incredibly strong, but whats most scary is that he fights very intelligently ontop of that strength to the point that chrollos best strategy to beat hisoka boils down to "overwhelm him with random bullshit", and it still doesn't work. zenos? as i said hes a beatstick, who spends most of the plot throwing money at the problem or sitting on his throne murdering people for bringing him bad news. he can't really have an opportunity to showcase his capriciousness thats fueled by his bloodlust, because hes the main antagonist to the point of a bottleneck. at most he pisses off in doma because he's bored but thats bare scraps for what a character like that would need. and then in the end, he fuses himself to a giant dragon god thing, and rule of thumb here. a hisoka esque character would never do that unless they're backs were to the wall and they were suppose to be showing how they aren't as hot shit as they claim. zenos just kinda does it cause he insinuates it was always his plan. and that blows.

hien was cool. as said i enjoy the doma and azim steppe part of the story, and hien was a breath of fresh air by virtue of having his head on his shoulders and a sense of humor that made him genuinely quite endearing in the sense it was written in an endearing way.

nero my beloved, you got the after credits thunder and lightning introduction you always deserved. i hope you enjoy that hate make out old man yaoi relationship with cid you glorious bastard.

I need to thank you for opening my eyes to something as well as showcase reading a point of view matters, even if one doesn't realize it. The Stiles as the main character stories has flooded ao3 so much that when I started my own W.I.P I didn't even question the elimination of Scott. And even when I added him I didn't question my dismissal of him as important. Becoming a member of the Scott defense squad I see now that that is a very bad way to go. Even if the focus gets sift to Stiles as a main character it does not take away the fact that the main character is the main character and has importance. And unfortunately a trinkle down effect of reading so many stories that tell a particular story It causes the readers to have a mindset of what a character is like even if they don't realize why that character was written that way in the original piece that portrayed him that way. And even worse when they don't take in the source material it paints a picture that doesn't showcase the character in the best light. Even though I saw the source material and loved it It did not stop me from going down this route because of everything that I had read. So again I thank you, and the rest of the defense squad for opening my eyes.

Let me make things perfectly clear: there is absolutely nothing wrong with writing a Stiles-centric story. There are no ships involving Stiles that should not be written or explored. My involvement with End Racism on the OTW isn't because Stiles will never be my favorite character. It's because there is a vast majority of people who claim to be Stiles fans, Derek fans, Sterek fans, Steter fans, or fans of any other ship which involves white characters who are not actually motivated by those characters but instead by racist fury because Teen Wolf never pretended to be anything other than a story about a Latino teenager.

It's not about one story. It's about all of them together. It's about the fact that the OTW's policies for AO3 aid and abet a large part of my fandom to indulge in racist fantasies without regard to the parts of the fandom damaged by it, and they do so by hiding behind a screen of polite indifference and pearl-clutching about freedom. And from everything I've read and seen, it's not just my fandom.

Teen Wolf is simply the fandom in which I witnessed it. Look at that picture up there from Night School (1x07). It's a pretty classic horror shot, no? Now think of the majority of stories on AO3 where

Peter's murder sprees and selfishness are excused because of the fire.

Derek's terrible decision making and massive trust issues are excused because of what Kate Argent did to him.

Stiles's lies and outbursts are excused because of his mother's death and the nogitsune.

Isaac's brutality and indifference are excused because of his treatment by his father.

Yet, Scott is dismissed as 'whiny' and 'ungrateful' because he didn't immediately see being a werewolf as a positive thing. There was an untagged story yesterday which has Stiles wishing Scott would get his head out of ass and realize all that being a werewolf had done to him was cure his asthma, get a girlfriend and make first line.

What's the difference between these five characters? This isn't one story, or ten stories, or a hundred stories, but literally thousands of stories that contain these tropes.

Hey, remember when Peter literally beat Derek into submission and savaged Lydia to get Stiles to cooperate?

Remember when Derek tried to murder Lydia for something she didn't do and drive Isaac away by throwing glass at his head?

Remember when Talia Hale covered up her brother's and son's involvement in the death of a young girl and badgered a woman to carry her child to term?

Remember when Scott told Stiles that it was wrong to kill the victim of a mad scientist's experiments and lying about it and maybe he should go talk to his dad?

And yet, I can guarantee you that there is only one of those four alphas who is portrayed consistently as an obtuse tyrant. (Hint: it's not the white ones) And this isn't one story, or ten stories, or a hundred stories, but literally thousands of stories that contain these tropes.

And it's not just the lead. Let's take a look at how the fandom treats secondary characters on AO3:

Talia Hale (1 episode): 5190 stories

Laura Hale (2 episodes): 8760 stories

Jenna Geyer (mentioned once; name is fandom generated): 617

Claudia Stilinski (1 episode; impersonated for 8 episodes): 3079

Derek Hale's Father (never appeared or mentioned): 843

Noshiko Yukimura (16 episodes): 470

Ken Yukimura (20 episodes): 261

Satomi Ito (3 episodes): 284

David Geyer (5 episodes): 351

See a pattern? You should. As I said, it's not one story, it's thousands.

No one's saying that you or anyone else shouldn't write fictions that focus on Stiles or Sterek or even stories where Scott is a terrible person. It's the trends. If transformation is what AO3 and OTW tout as their purpose, and that transformation is about variety and exploration, why is it always the white characters that get the benefit of it? When it comes to transformation, why do characters of color get erased, caricatured, or robbed of their narrative roles?

Don't tell me that it isn't damaging.

Do you know how many times I've encountered a person who entered Teen Wolf fandom through AO3 and Tumblr who believed that the characters of color are either terrible (such as Scott and Deaton and Braeden) or unimportant (such as Boyd or Mason or the Yukimuras)? More than I or anyone else should be comfortable with. But this is part of the mechanism. There aren't little racism fairies that visit people in their sleep; it's not a bacterial infection; it's not the work of a secret cabal. Cultural racism is maintained by institutions, and it is transmitted by institutions, and this is one example. OTW and AO3 are two such institutions.

Thanks for writing. I'll take what you told me as a compliment.

1) Detroit become human was about how white robots have it just as bad as African American slaves. cyberpunk 2077 alongside its glitches had racist elements such as orientalism, demonizing black men in the main story, and a horrible implantation of black features in the character customization. the Stanley parable had an in game video of a white man lighting a black child on fire. all games in the grand theft auto series showcase racist stereotypes of black criminals. all south park games have multiple racist "jokes" that are just as offensive and stupid as the show. minecraft on consoles had skin packs, one of which featuring the main character Steve wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, and being one of only two skins where Steve is depicted as Black.

Black people have been telling you about games that are racist for years. but you simply refuse to listen or care.

2) BLM is not an organization that all Black people are a part of. BLM stand for Black Lives Matter, and is a movement, not an organization, that is against police brutality. of course you don't understand the difference between a movement and an organization because you think all people you disagree must all be friends and all agree with each other and are secretly plotting to ruin your life. there is that Black Lives Matter Global Organization Fund, which IS an organization. that is a collective of far-left anticapitalists activists who are part of the Black Lives Matter movement. but not everyone who is part of the movement is part of the BLMGOF. when you say "BLM has never done this", who are you referring to? all Black people ever?

4) "sex class" holy fuck kill yourself

5) "wait till tras find out..." firstly, stop with the tra shit. say tranny with your whole chest. because that's what you mean. you want to call us a slur, but you don't want to face the consequences of calling people slurs. so you make up weird words and acronyms, which are just tranny spelt different ways. it's the same energy as calling someone a fag and then saying "what? all I did was call you a bundle of sticks! there's nothing offensive about sticks, is there?". it's middle school level bigotry. and it's pathetic and makes you look insane.

6) you're trying to make the argument that trans people don't know that markus pearson sucks. but minecraft is the most popular game in the world. every already knows that markus pearson is a terrible person. he's a stupid racist sexist antisemitic transphobic cunt and I hope he fucking kills himself. but a) he hasn't had anything to do with the game in years, and b) he isn't actively funding for the death of trans people.

I have my own criticisms of minecraft. mainly the antisemitism with the villagers. because, surprise, they were created by an antisemite. but despite trying to distance themselves from pearson, Microsoft has done absolutely nothing to change this gross part of the game. I have been vocal about this for years, yet people like you don't give a shit.

also, minecraft is incredibly popular with autistic people, and people who are autistic and people who are trans overlap a lot.

also also, Lena Raine, famous for her work on soundtracks for Celeste and Deltarune, also composed some of the best songs ever for minecraft. why is the important? let me direct you to the best and shortest "personal life" section on wikipedia I've ever seen

actual trans people work on minecraft. minecraft and mojang are filled with queer devs who actively support and are part of the queer community.

so when the current dev team of a game has trans people actively working on it, doesn't invite the creator to the 10th anniversary celebration, does literally everything they can to get rid of all mentions or ties to the creator, and have gone on record saying they want nothing to do with pearson and have cut ties with him completely, I think that means that the game is not transphobic like you want it to be. it's not that no one cares because "he's a man". it's that minecraft isnt a franchise that uses its profits to fund genocide.

also, as I was saying before, minecraft isn't perfect. it still has antisemitism, it still has a racist past, and it still has a shitty ex dev. and while they can't change the past, they can change the future by removing the antisemitic tropes that surround the villagers. yet they don't, and I am very vocally upset and have expressed my views on this subject many times.

7) but you know a game with far worse antisemitism? hogwarts legacy. far more antisemitism than any transphobia. this game is literally the blood libel myth of Jews stealing the blood of white children. the goblins, which have large noses and control the banks and have a shofar and kidnap white wizard children and are secretly working with the wizard nazis are quite literally based off the antisemitic lies and conspiracy theories of the new world order, blood libel, greedy Jew, and holocaust denial. even on their own, these tropes would be absolutely disgusting and repulsive to any person with half a brain. but even though this game has more antisemitic lies and myths than a 4chan /pol/ thread, people like you don't care at all. because "it's hairy potty! and I love hairy potty! the creator hates trans people and that's based ... uh... I mean... I have nostalgia for the series! (and I don't give a shit at all about Jews)"

interestingly though, when this was pointed out to you in the replies, you said "no that's not true" and "so what? that's no reason to get mad" and "actually YOU'RE antisemitic for thinking that goblins are supposed to be Jews". and personally I think that anyone who says that last one deserves a bullet though their skull.

8) also, I find it very interesting that you're complaining and crying and pissing their pants when trans people boycott one (1) game, yet they refuse to listen to anyone else, especially Black people or Jews, when they suggest boycotts, and also refuse to boycott any games with extreme sexism and misogyny in them, despite pretending to care about women.

I have never seen a radfem say anything negative about fat princess, the guy game, dead island, overwatch, persona 5, grand theft auto, and hell, even hogwarts legacy.

if you didn't know, this game was developed by people who were part of gamergate. and if you don't know what gamergate was, it was a massive controversy online where women were saying how sexism in online games is bad, and a bunch of men said "no, and you're wrong! my opinion is worth more than your lived experience". and then some of those men went on to make what you think is the best game of all time, that contains extreme amounts of racism and antisemitism, and sales of which are actively funding a genocide against trans people. but I'm assuming that none of those things are negatives to people like you.

tldr: op need to kill themselves

Happy Charm - Educe 3

Season: Spring Characters: Eichi Translators & Proofreaders: taiyaki-translations, citrinesea, toujokaname

Eichi: (Well, I've managed to assign the job to the right kids for the project...)

Now then, I wonder what I should do on my end.

(Even if I want to take action, there's not much time left before the day of the shoot.)

(I'd like to brush it up into better shape as much as possible, but...)

(Sigh) For now, I should prioritize checking other documents.

...Hm, Anzu-chan? For you to come all the way to the office... Did something happen?

It's about the treasure-hunting show I mentioned earlier? Ahh, right, you're having Subaru-kun appear.

That’s a wise pick. This kind of variety show suits him perfectly.

Since you came all this way, does that mean you have something to discuss about the program?

No? You just wanted to report on the project in person?

Fufu, you're always so conscientious, Anzu-chan. You even attached the documents in a separate email.

To begin with, even I can't completely control Trickstar's activities...

No, it's because they can show their true potential better without being controlled that I deliberately don't interfere... That would be more accurate.

I wouldn't be surprised if Subaru-kun waited until after this program finished to come and report it to me.

That said, I appreciate you bringing the project proposal, Anzu-chan.

So just as I was told beforehand, it's a show without any staged acts or rigged outcomes.

Though it seems they have some planned events and arrangements to liven up the show.

Hmm... The places where the treasure chests are hidden are known only to a few staff members; that's thorough.

Since it's a variety show that isn't meant for competition or promotion purposes, participants can also enjoy it without feeling pressured.

It says here that each team needs three members, though. Has the third member been decided?

Huh, so Harukawa-kun and Subaru-kun are still in the middle of searching for one.

You've been asking around, but everyone's schedules don't seem to match up?

Mm? You're suggesting I join them in the treasure hunt?

Fufu. It's a lovely idea, but I already have plans for that day. I can't participate.

Besides, fine has a basic policy of not participating in variety shows to begin with.

Of course, it's not absolute. If there's an urgent situation like with Dragon's Head (1), I'll step in.

And if someone expresses a strong desire to participate in something, like Tori with Prison Breakers (2), I won't refuse.

But this time, neither case applies.

There are many others who are more suitable for variety shows like this.

Also, if I were to appear, it might make things difficult for Subaru-kun and the others.

Since Harukawa-kun would be the only one from a different agency, he’d look out of place. It would diminish Subaru-kun’s unique charm as well.

"I don't think that would happen"?

Hm, if you of all people can say that, then it might actually be the case, but...

When it comes to variety shows, prioritize those who have strong conversational skills, and for dramas, choose those who are good at acting.

It’s essential to match idols to the type of work they’re best suited for.

Though, there may be times when the director's wishes and various expectations result in an unfavorable situation...

In general, we should assign each idol a stage where they can make the most of their individuality.

By understanding their individual charms and putting them in positions that highlight those charms, idols can truly shine.

...Not that I need to tell you this, Anzu-chan, since you're a producer.

By this point, you've led us idols to appropriate stages countless times.

…But, there are many times when the stage isn't suitable for the idol in this industry.

"Is that what you were sighing about earlier"?

So you saw it after all. Well, it's not like I had a need to hide it.

It so happens that StarPro received an offer for a town-walking show.

The goal is to showcase the region and use idols to make the program more dazzling.

While there's nothing terribly wrong with the proposal itself, I can't shake off the feeling that it's somewhat generic and lackluster.

...Fufu. Looks like you've got an idea.

Given our positions, you probably run into these situations more often than I do, don't you, Anzu-chan?

Especially since you were running about cleaning up after the P-Association's proposals last year.

Nevertheless, the fact that each of those troublesome projects has achieved great success is entirely thanks to your expertise.

...In fact. Since we’re already here, I'd like to hear your input on it as well.

Fufu, "I'm happy to help if I can," huh? How dependable.

I myself have seen countless proposals that lacked sharp edges, or ones that only had a vague idea of what they wanted to do.

And each time, I had to discuss it with the producers and directors over and over to ensure the best possible outcome for the idols involved.

I planned to approach it in the same way for this too, but... There’s not much time left to take my time coming up with a strategy.

If possible, I'd like to create an instant hook within the project and discuss it with the other party right away...

What's that? ..."Create a surprise element and make the program itself more appealing"?

Yeah, I agree with that opinion. If that’s the case, what matters is the content of the surprise.

We could bring in more guests from StarPro, or maybe look for notable stores near the filming site...

Mm? What is it, Anzu-chan? … Is it something about the date and location of the site?

......!

I see ♪ I completely overlooked it. This would indeed introduce a surprise element and enhance the program.

Of course, I'll need to confirm with the client but... Can I leave that to you?

Fufu, thank you. I'm glad I consulted with you.

Well then, once we've both confirmed everything, let's hold another strategy meeting ♪

Translation Notes: 1. Referring to the story Dragon's Head. 2. Referring to the story Prison Breakers.

mma relinquishes her job so a colleague with a family can keep his. Contemplating life's next steps, Emma meets a professional dancer, Leo, whose love for competitive dancing is waning, until a once in a lifetime opportunity arises for the novice to join the pro and sweep all of Paris off its feet.

Starring: Jen Lilley and Matthew Morrison

My Movie Grade: A+

What Is A Paris Christmas Waltz About?

Emma Harris is an accountant who's been taking ballroom dancing lessons for a year when she meets Leo Monroe, a professional dancer seeking a new partner for a Yuletide Pro/Am Competition.

Emma is ready for something new. When her office decides to cut staff, she doesn't hesitate to quit her job to save her co-worker from losing his. With her schedule wide open, she quickly accepts Leo's offer to travel to Paris to participate in the well-renowned, annual Yuletide dance competition.

Emma is flabbergasted to learn that the famous Henry Fontaine from Fontaine Dance Studio will be choreographing their routine. Henry is old and struggling with health issues, but he wants to create one last thing of beauty, and Leo is like a son to him.

Conflict arises when Leo's former dance partner, Giselle, enters the competition. Not only does her expertise intimidate Emma, but it's clear Giselle has designs on Leo.

Leo has a strict policy of never dating his dance partner, but he and Emma generate unbelievable chemistry on the dance floor, which she can't flip a switch to turn off. As her feelings for Leo grow, she questions whether or not he feels the same way.

The emotional toll creates strife between Leo and Emma, which causes their onstage connection to tank. Can they resolve their conflicting feelings in time for the competition?

A Paris Christmas Waltz Showcases Amazing Talent

Many actors today are one-trick ponies, but in previous decades, entertainers could sing, dance, AND act. Lilley and Morrison check all three boxes and deliver a wildly engaging performance in A Paris Christmas Waltz.

Morrison is a dancer best known for his role in the television show Glee. He is trained in ballet, tap, and jazz and has performed on Broadway.

Morrison shares that Lilley, on the other hand, was "not much of a dancer" going into the movie. They both started learning ballroom dance two weeks before shooting commenced.

In the movie, both stars look like they've been dancing for a lifetime! They are naturals. The dance tells a story, and the two are very fluid, executing each step flawlessly. It's mesmerizing to watch them, and with the dance sequence set to O' Holy Night, many viewers find themselves being moved to tears.

Location, Location, Location!

It's tough to beat Paris at Christmastime. The setting is perfect, and as Great American Family promised, the movie "sweep[s] viewers into the magic of the city's most iconic destinations."

We see Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and more, but my favorite reference is to the Paris Opera House. Emma says, "The Phantom of the Opera lives there." The Phantom of the Opera is my favorite classic novel, stage play, and movie!

A Paris Christmas Waltz Has Heart

When networks mass produce Christmas movies to meet viewer demand, something important often gets lost--heart. Too many movies are light and fluffy and lack substance.

Lilley's character wears her heart on her sleeve. As Emma discovers Paris, sheer delight shines on her face and through her eyes. Emma's expression of pure joy, especially when she's dancing, is what attracts Leo to her in the first place.

When Leo asks Emma her favorite Christmas memory, she tells him it was the previous Christmas when she saw him dancing--she's not afraid to show raw emotion from the depths of her soul.

From the moment Leo pulls Emma into his arms to dance, the fireworks between the two are palpable. The viewer shares in Emma's frustration when Leo tries to maintain a professional divide between them despite their obvious attraction to one another.

The two pour their entire beings into their final dance--a dance that your own heart responds to while watching. The couple delivers what Henry hoped to create, and he is visibly moved during the thunderous applause following their performance.

Ultimately, Emma and Leo learn that more important than winning a trophy is winning each other's hearts.

A Paris Christmas Waltz delivers on faith. After giving up her job, Emma says that sometimes God's plan is "different from what we expect." Leo credits "prayers" for helping Henry recover. Even the selection of O' Holy Night is moving because so many movies choose secular songs that don't reflect the true meaning of Christmas.

Michael & Janeen Damian Create a Masterpiece

From beginning to end, A Paris Christmas Waltz is rich with content, spellbinding to watch, and filled to Frosty's hat brim with heart.

We have Michael and Janeen Damian to thank for creating what could be a Great American Family classic. The duo wrote the story, and Michael directed the movie.

@michaeldamian1

The Damians introduced viewers to Christmas Waltz in 2020 starring Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp. The movie aired on Hallmark Channel, and it was the most watched cable movie that year. Fans were in awe of Chabert and Kemp gliding across the dance floor--it was pure holiday magic.

A Paris Christmas Waltz is not a sequel, but more of an additional installment to what might be a budding franchise. It's even better than the first one! The Damians have hinted to soaps.com that they are already toying with ideas for future installments. Let's hope we'll be treated to another Damian masterpiece in the future!

FUN FACT: One of Michael's Christmas songs from his latest album is featured in the movie!

You can find the album on Spotify or wherever you stream music.

Watch the Trailer for A Paris Christmas Waltz

A Paris Christmas Waltz is a keeper and deserves real estate on your DVR. Let's hope Great American Family releases it to DVD in 2024.

10 Key Checkpoints to Focus On

Here's your comprehensive Laravel Security Checklist to ensure a robust and safeguarded web application.

1. Secure Authentication and Authorization

In the intricate world of Laravel web application development, security is an indispensable pillar for creating a trustworthy and resilient digital presence. One of the cornerstone elements in this security fortress is the implementation of secure authentication and authorization mechanisms. Let's delve into how these critical aspects are pivotal in fortifying your Laravel application against potential threats.

Secure Authentication: Building the First Line of Defense

Authentication is verifying the identity of users attempting to access your application. It forms the cornerstone of security by ensuring that only authorized individuals can interact with sensitive data and functionalities. In the realm of Laravel, this process is made significantly more manageable through the framework's built-in authentication features.

Implementing secure authentication involves

Strong Password Policies: Enforce complex passwords, combining uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Laravel provides password validation rules to help you accomplish this.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enhance security by requiring users to provide an additional authentication factor beyond their password. Laravel offers seamless integration with 2FA for an added layer of protection.

Account Lockouts: Implement mechanisms that lock accounts after a specified number of unsuccessful login attempts, preventing brute-force attacks by temporarily halting further login attempts.

Authorization: Ensuring Granular Access Control

Authorization, however, deals with controlling what authenticated users can do within the application. It's about granting permissions and access rights based on roles and responsibilities, ensuring that sensitive actions are restricted to those who need them.

Key steps in implementing effective authorization include

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Define roles such as "admin," "user," or "manager," and associate them with specific permissions. Laravel's RBAC system lets you assign roles and permissions effortlessly.

Middleware Authorization: Leverage Laravel's middleware to restrict access to routes or controllers based on user roles or custom conditions. This is a powerful way to ensure that only authorized users can perform specific actions.

Resource Controllers: Utilize resource controllers to create a consistent and structured approach to handling CRUD operations. These controllers can be easily configured to enforce authorization rules for specific actions.

Dynamic Authorization Policies: Laravel's policy system lets you define authorization logic in a structured manner. It's beneficial for complex access control requirements and allows for fine-grained control over what users can do.

In a world where digital threats are evolving rapidly, securing your Laravel application's authentication and authorization processes is paramount. By implementing robust authentication mechanisms and enforcing precise authorization rules, you're safeguarding sensitive data and building a foundation of trust with your users. Remember, security isn't just a one-time task; it's an ongoing commitment that requires vigilance and adaptability in the face of ever-changing cyber threats.

2. Keep Laravel and Dependencies Updated

3. Validate User Input

The ever-evolving landscape of Laravel development, the adage "Garbage In, Garbage Out" holds immense relevance. One of the pivotal checkpoints in ensuring the robustness of your Laravel application's security is the validation of user input. Let's dive into why validating user input is crucial and how it is a formidable shield against potential vulnerabilities.

The Essence of User Input Validation

User input is the gateway through which your Laravel application interacts with its users. Whether it's a login form, a search bar, or a comment section, user input is integral to the functionality of your application. However, it can also become an entry point for malicious activities if left unchecked.

Why Validate User Input:

Mitigating Injection Attacks: Attackers can exploit unvalidated user input to inject malicious code into your application. This includes infamous threats like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). Proper validation drastically reduces the risk of such attacks.

Data Integrity: Validating user input ensures that the data flowing into your application is consistent and matches the expected format. This helps maintain data integrity and prevents errors caused by unexpected information.

Enhancing User Experience: You can guide users to input data in the correct format by providing real-time validation feedback. This not only prevents submission errors but also enhances the overall user experience.

Implementing Effective Input Validation in Laravel

Utilize Laravel's Validation Rules: Laravel offers a robust validation system that includes a wide array of predefined rules. These rules cover everything from required fields and email formats to custom validation logic.

Sanitize and Filter Input: Consider sanitizing and filtering user input alongside validation. Sanitization removes potentially harmful characters, while filtering ensures that information adheres to specific formats.

Client-Side Validation: While server-side validation is paramount, supplement it with client-side validation using JavaScript. This provides instant feedback to users and reduces unnecessary server requests.

Best Practices for User Input Validation

Never Trust User Input: Treat all incoming user input as potentially malicious until proven otherwise. Validate and sanitize input even if it seems harmless.

Whitelist Validation: Define an allowlist of allowed characters and formats for each input field. Reject input that doesn't conform to these predefined patterns.

Regular Updates: Like any other security practice, stay updated with Laravel's latest validation features and best practices. This ensures you're using the most effective tools available.

In the intricate realm of Laravel development, user input validation isn't just a technical practice; it's a shield that guards your application against many threats. By diligently validating user input, you're bolstering your application's security and reinforcing trust with your users. In the dynamic world of web development, where innovation meets vulnerability, validation is your steadfast ally in pursuing a secure and seamless user experience.

4. Protect Against SQL Injection

Shielding your digital fortress through meticulous Laravel development services involves a critical step: Protect against SQL injection. This threat arises when user inputs lack proper sanitation, potentially enabling malicious actors to manipulate SQL queries and gain unauthorized database access.

SQL injection attacks can lead to data exposure, alteration, or deletion. Laravel's defences are robust. Its query binding technique parameterizes user inputs, preventing malicious SQL execution. The Eloquent ORM further enhances security by abstracting SQL interactions and automatically escaping values.

Adhering to best practices is paramount. Prioritize parameterized queries over direct concatenation, sanitize inputs, and conduct regular code audits to ensure secure methods. By fortifying your Laravel application against SQL injection, you're erecting a robust barrier against a damaging vulnerability while providing your Laravel development services maintain the utmost integrity and user trust.

5. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Prevention

In securing your digital haven with proficient Laravel development practices, countering Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) emerges as a pivotal measure. XSS occurs when malicious code infiltrates a website through unfiltered user inputs, potentially compromising user data and integrity.

The gravity of XSS lies in its ability to expose sensitive information or perform malicious actions under the user's identity. Laravel offers potent tools to thwart such threats:

Blade Templating: Laravel's Blade templating engine automatically escapes variables, preventing unintended script execution.

XSS Middleware: Laravel provides built-in middleware for encoding user inputs, adding an extra layer of protection.

Content Security Policy (CSP): Implementing CSP headers in your Laravel application restricts the sources from which content can be loaded, reducing the risk of XSS attacks.

Adhering to these precautions is essential. Validate and sanitize inputs, embrace Laravel's security features, and implement a robust CSP. By guarding against XSS vulnerabilities, you ensure your Laravel development maintains a resilient and trustworthy digital presence.

6. Implement HTTPS and SSL

In web application development, particularly in Laravel, bolstering security is paramount. A crucial step in this pursuit is the implementation of HTTPS and SSL protocols. These measures are essential to safeguard sensitive data transmitted between users and your application.

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) encrypts the data between users' browsers and your application's server, thwarting potential eavesdropping and tampering. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates are the foundation of this encryption, ensuring that communication remains confidential.

Advantages of HTTPS and SSL:

Data Encryption: HTTPS encrypts data during transit, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Trust and SEO: SSL certificates enhance user trust, as indicated by the padlock symbol in browsers. Search engines also favor HTTPS websites, improving SEO rankings.

Authentication: SSL certificates verify your application's authenticity, shielding users from potential phishing sites.

Implementing HTTPS and SSL involves obtaining a valid SSL certificate and configuring your Laravel application for secure connections. By adopting these measures, you're securing your web application development, fostering trust among users, and ensuring compliance with modern security standards.

7. Secure Session Management

In web application development, security isn't just a feature—it's a necessity. A crucial aspect of building a robust and trustworthy application is ensuring secure session management. Sessions are pivotal in maintaining user interactions and data, making their protection paramount.

Laravel offers robust mechanisms to fortify session management:

Session Encryption: Laravel automatically encrypts session data, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring confidentiality.

CSRF Protection: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks can compromise sessions. Laravel's built-in CSRF protection safeguards against such threats.

Expire and Regenerate: Set session expiration times and periodically regenerate session IDs to minimize the window of vulnerability.

By implementing secure session management practices in your web application development, you create a shield against unauthorized access and data breaches. This preserves user trust and solidifies your commitment to crafting applications that prioritize security and integrity.

8. Protect Against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Safeguarding web applications is a top priority in Laravel development. To fortify your digital haven, countering Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) threats is crucial. CSRF attacks manipulate authenticated users into executing malicious actions unknowingly. Laravel provides a robust defense:

CSRF Tokens: Laravel automatically generates unique tokens for each user session, validating the authenticity of requests.

Middleware Protection: Laravel's built-in CSRF middleware verifies tokens, preventing unauthorized requests from being executed.

By integrating these measures, you fortify your Laravel application against CSRF vulnerabilities. This secures user interactions and demonstrates your commitment to proactive security practices in modern web development.

9. Harden Configuration and File Permissions

In the landscape of Laravel security, enhancing configuration settings and file permissions is a critical stride. Securing sensitive files, such as configuration files, shields against unauthorized access and potential breaches. Laravel's framework offers key tactics:

Restricted Access: Limit access to sensitive configuration files by setting appropriate permissions. This prevents unauthorized users from tampering with vital settings.

Environment Configuration: Store sensitive data in environment files and never expose them in version control. Laravel's .env file shields sensitive variables from prying eyes.

By meticulously configuring permissions and safeguarding critical files, you erect a solid barrier against potential threats. This reflects an unwavering commitment to fortifying your Laravel application and upholding security standards in modern web development.

10. Use Content Security Policy (CSP)

Bolstering security in Laravel involves advanced tactics, including a Content Security Policy (CSP). CSP guards against cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. It achieves this by specifying approved content sources, mitigating the risk of malicious script execution. Laravel's integration of CSP fortifies your defense:

Malicious Content Mitigation: CSP curtails the potential impact of XSS attacks by regulating the domains from which content can be loaded.

Policy Customization: Laravel empowers you to tailor CSP rules to suit your application's specific requirements, balancing security and functionality.

By embracing CSP, you establish a robust security framework that exemplifies Laravel's commitment to secure, modern web development practices.

Top Laravel Security Packages for Developers

In the realm of Laravel development, ensuring robust security is paramount. Several key packages aid developers in fortifying their applications. Here are three notable options:

Laravel-ACL: Access Control Lists (ACL) are fundamental to controlling user permissions. This package simplifies ACL implementation, offering granular control over user access to different parts of your application.

Laravel Security: As the name suggests, this package enhances overall security. It provides features like XSS protection, safe redirects, and content filtering, contributing to a fortified application.

Laravel Security Component: This package takes security up a notch by integrating robust security components. It includes encryption, hashing, validation, and more tools, streamlining your security efforts.

For a Laravel development agency, these packages are invaluable assets. By incorporating them into your development process, you expedite security implementation and establish a strong foundation for crafting secure, reliable applications that clients can trust.

Conclusion

In the intricate realm of Laravel security, these checkpoints act as sentinels, fortifying your application's defenses. Secure authentication, vigilant updates, meticulous validation, and shielded configurations create a robust bastion. Protection against threats like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF forms an unbreachable wall. Implementation of HTTPS, secure session handling, and CSP reinforce your fortifications. Familiarity with essential security packages like Laravel-ACL, Laravel Security, and Security Component adds the final layer. As a Laravel developer, embracing these measures ensures your applications are secured, and your expertise is unwavering in the face of evolving threats.

"...that wasn't a threat, I was exaggerating. Uh.... can I have that cut from the edit please?"

"I'm sorry about everything that happened today."

"Even though you are kind of messed up for what you did."

"I said horrible things at the beginning to my friends, but that's not how I feel right now."

The fact that NONE of your friends called you out right away is CONCERNING.

Like, what did James learn?

I get what they're TRYING to say. At first he wanted to use Aiden for fame, but then he grew to actually care about Aiden and like him.

It took two people to the hospital threatening Aiden, and for Aiden to be dirty the second time, for him to reach that conclusion that he likes Aiden now.

THAT BOY CAME OUT TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING VERY PERSONAL TO HIM BECAUSE HE GREW TO TRUST YOU!

Idk HOW, but he grew to trust you.

AND YOUR FAME HUNGRY ASS MADE HIM FEEL EVEN MORE UNSAFE THAN HE ALREADY WAS.

I DO NOT FEEL BAD. Especially if he ISN'T apologizing for how he played the game besides "I should've let Aiden join in on deception and hospitalizing people too. I'm not gonna ask if he wants to do that, though."

"It's not her fault. It's mine. And that's what makes me feel worse."

"Consequences for my actions SUCK. 😢Crying emoji."
