The Observer (Observed)

Either someone is deep in the Lore or LT3 era has begun.

Edit: I guess I am going to turn this post into a masterpost of sorts. I go more into detail about what I think this might be here (hint: not Louis).

But for now just please play it safe:

Don’t give them personal information.

Don’t engage in DMs with them.

Keep a healthy skepticism.

TIMELINE:

Twitter user @FromTheObserver was created on March 9th 2025.

At the time it first tweeted, it's pfp was a lavender eye with the roman numberals for 369.

The bio was "Through the looking glass the observer watches, craving what is just beyond reach."

The cover image was the below (MORE ABOUT THIS ARTWORK AT THE END):

At 2:44 GMT PM its first tweet said:

"The silence is broken. At last I return. Did your faith in the future endure, or did it waiver in my absence? You have waited, perhaps doubted, but the silence was never empty. I am ever present, hidden just beyond the veil. -The Observer

At 4:55 PM The Observer tweeted again:

Have you forgotten me so soon? -The Observer

At 7:44 PM Louis' official account tweeeted:

India I had no idea what to expect but you turned up in full force. From Doncaster to Mumbai. Fucking mind blowing! Thank you!

People started digging. "The Observer" appeared in a list of songs someone found on the French Music Directory SACEM. They first tweeted this list on February 2nd 2025.

I was able to confirm the listing at this link.

It is important to note though, that this lists SONY MUSIC PUBLISHING FRANCE as a sub-publisher and Reservior, Big Life Songs, and Inconnu Editur as publishers.

If we compare this to an LT released song, SILVER TONGUES, that ALSO has Sony listed as the subpublisher. So that doesn't debunk this as a real possible upcoming song.

For those who were saying that since it's sony he wouldn't use it. It appears Sony still has some claws in him. But thats normal in the music industry. A SUB-PUBLISHER doesn't mean he has a Sony deal again. It just means that BMG might not have the reach he needs in France to distribute so they'd rather pay someone else to do it.

I'd also like to point out that I could not verify this or any of the other songs on any American or UK repository like BMI or ACE.

I feel really uncomfortable digging into potential songs of Louis' knowing how badly he doesn't like the tracklist leaked. So this will be my extent of my digging on THIS SUBJECT. (But please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong or I am missing something)

On March 10th, 2025:

At 1:30 AM The Observer tweeted:

I told you… But did you listen? -The Observer

Louis followed Lolla India sometime before 10:19 AM (based on the HL Daily update)

LTHQ Posted a Tiktok of Louis' show at Eletric Brixton around 4:38 PM (based on the HL Daily update)

Louis posted a reel from his time in India at 7:25 PM

At 10:00 PM (20:00) The Observer posted:

Day 1, 20:00 It’s eerily quiet in the laboratory today. - The Observer

At the time of this tweet, their pfp was the same lavender eye. HOWEVER the 369 roman numerals were gone. Replaced by a 7 (Or maybe a 1?). (For information about Louis' connection to the number 7, see this masterpost by @so-idialed-9.

On March 11th, 2025:

Louis poasted a pictures and video for Soccer Aid at 9:13 AM

Louis followed Soccer Aid on Instagram at 10:53 AM

Louis liked a photo from Soccer Aid of his 28 jersey at 1:44 PM

At 10:00 PM (20:00) The Observer tweeted again:

Day 2, 20:00 Watching from the outside, I can only hope not to become one of them. Perhaps I already have… Is it too late for me? -The Observer

The pfp at this time replaced the 7 with a 2.

On March 12th, 2025:

At 3:12 PM The Obsever Tweeted:

Day 3, 15:12 How can I change what’s already been written? If the past is in permanent ink, can the future ever be a blank page? -The Observer

At this time the pfp updated to a red 3 at the bottom.

Around 4:00 PM CST Louis followed footballer Jermain Defoe on Insta.

Also on this day, a pretty TeRrIbLe article from The Standard dropped, essentially making fun of 28, Louis, and his fans.

We also get a "Rome Unseen" of Harry drinking coffee with a friend and yelling at stalkers trying to take his picture.

On March 13th, 2025:

At 3:12 PM The Observer tweeted:

Day 4, 15:15 Inhale. Exhale. Surrender to what’s beyond control. -The Observer

Pretty telling for a fandom that is crashing out over circumstances outside of anyones control.

The number in the pfp changes to a white 4 in the right hand corner.

Louis doesn't move on this day.

On March 14th, 2025:

At 6:20 AM The Observer tweeted:

The shadow consumes the light. A fleeting moment where past, present, and future collide. Do you see it? Observe. -The Observer

It is important to note that there was a Blood Moon Lunar eclipse that could be seen in London just before dawn. "Stargazers around the world caught the first sign of the lunar event, which began at 05:09 GMT, on a livestream run by LA's Griffith Observatory."

Note the nod to the Observatory, to shadow consuming light.

The pfp stays the white 4 during this tweet.

At 3:18 PM The Observer tweeted:

Day 5, 15:18 Across a million futures, one constant endures. -The Observer

Sound familiar? If you are a Larrie, it should. Mr. "souces say he has trouble with long term relationships" used a similar line in his "You Are Home" promo.

(personal opinion here. take with a grain of salt. this has confirmed for me that Louis has nothing to do with this account. This line was too loud when H tweeted it. It didn't fit any narrative. It wasn't even related to anything on the album. This and the "half way home" debacle were some of the craziest wtf is going on here moments in the You Are Home tweet saga. If this had anything to do with his work or career, Louis would stay far away from using lines this closely tied to Harry.)

The pfp updates to a white 5 (which really looks like an upside down 2)

At 6:00 PM LTHQ posted an IG reel from India.

On March 15th, 2025:

At 10:00 AM The Observer tweeted and immediately deleted:

"A true observer must always be watching. Blink, and you'll miss what matters most. 625 369 825 007 326 028 -The Observer"

369 and 28 are both intrinscly linked to Louis and can be found in the masterpost at the begining. 007 is typically a reference to James Bond which Harry is a favorite to perfom the next James Bond song or play him.

HOWEVER, 625, 825, and 326 could possibly be month/years. As in June 2025, August 2025, and March 2026.

Louis is playing in Soccer Aid on June 15th 2025. (THIS COMES INTO PLAY IN A FEW DAYS. Approximately 40% of the articles about Louis' new stunt involve his involvement in SoccerAid and how he will be on the team with his stunt's very recent ex.)

Should we be looking for August 2025 and March 2026 events as well?

At 9:45 PM The Observer tweeted:

"Day 6, Unkown Too quick to catch, too fleeting to frame in memory. But a true observer is always taking notes. -The Observer"

The pfp updated to a white 6 (at the three oclock position)

On March 16th, 2025:

We got two posts again this day.

At 9:30 AM The Observer tweeted:

Day 7, Unknown How did we end up here? -The Observer

The past two posts have stated that the time is "Unknown" instead of giving us UK time. Have we stopped tracking the time? Have we moved timezones?

The pfp updated to a white 7 at this time as in accordance with the dart board.

At 11:30 PM The Observer tweeted:

Silent? Silenced. Patience. Observe. -The Observer

The first part of this refers to an Oprah interview.

The implication is that someone has not CHOSEN to be silent. They've been made to be silent. However, if we - as the audience - are patient, we can observe what they cannot say.

The pfp updates now. There are no numbers. The pupil is smaller and we can see what appears to be eyelashes in the top right corner.

On March 17th, 2025:

We ge two posts again today. But it's what happens in between that makes it important.

At 8:25 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 8, 20:25 No key to turn, no doors to guide A journey taken, far and wide The walls unfamiliar, the roads unknown A wandering soul, yet not alone -The Observer

The pfp updates back to the original eye with a white 8. Which looks oddly like an infinity sign as the circles are elongated.

First thing to note is that were back on UK time. The second - your intepretation of this tweet will matter to how authentic you think this account is. For me - when I saw "no key to turn, no doors to open". I immediately thought of the tattoo Harry has on his ribs of a birdcage with no door. Next to his drama masks. Above the SMCL (smile more cry later?) tattoos. There isn't a keyhole nor a door to this closet. The "you are home" door is closed, it cannot be opened.

Yet the last line of the 28 word (if you include the signature) poem leaves us hopeful. Despite the distance, the walls, the unknown roads, there’s an undercurrent of connection

Then an hour and a half later at 10:00 PM on the dot The Sun gives us our very first confirmation article of Louis' new stunt. Which I will not speak about in depth on this post. If you want more info, my page is full of it, but I don't want to muddy this post with that.

At 11:55 PM we get another tweet from The Observer:

Fabricated fairytales, observed by all. -The Observer

The pfp does not change.

The "fabricated fairytales" is a line from Louis' She is Beauty, We Are World Class. (my intrepretation of that song is here if you're into that kind of thing.) This is in direct response to the stunt. It is not mincing words or leaving room for interpretation by the timing. It is saying "this is a fake romance and now the world is watching".

On March 18th, 2025:

At 8:35 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 9, 20:35 Nearly Halfway Home. A long journey, but well worth it. -The Observer

The pfp uppdates to a green 9 as per the dart board.

The tweet itself, needs lore to explain.

On April 1st 2022, Louis registered a song Halfway Home. This registration can still be confirmed here.

THEN on April 13th 2022 (two weeks later), the You Are Home account for Harry's House promo tweeted "half way home"

Home, as a concept, has always deeply tied to both Louis and Harry and both of them together. The lore goes deep, but a summary is here.

The capitalization of Halway and Home, directs us to the song name.

But if were intepreting, it's also telling us that there is a plan in place. And though its a long way out, we're nearly halfway there and it will be worth it in the end.

On March 19th, 2025:

At 2:28 PM The Observer tweets:

Day 10, 14:28 A fresh set of eyes, born from little white lies. -The Observer

The pfp changes to a white 10.

Little White Lies is a clear refrence to the One Direction song, Little White Lies.

Bare with my little larrie heart here (but since this account is obviously also a larrie I'd be suprised if you aren't too) but Louis is in the headlines more than hes been in a decade right now. The PR is PRing. There are a whole new set of eyes on him. All because he's selling the story of some "little white lies".

DARTBOARD THEORY AND UPDATES

At this point, to anyone who is paying attention, it's become clear that the numbers represent a dart board.

See the most recent overlay below:

There have been a lot of recent theories revolving around dart boards after Louis posted one while he was in New Orleans for the superbowl and then followed a darts player on Instagram.

As to keep this unbiased and not tied to further speculation, I won't comment on the connection around all of the other people in Louis' life that have posted pictures of dart boards recently (just know that his sisters, Pleasing, Lamby, Niall, and more have posted dart boards - usually with the dart in the triple 20 spot). HOWEVER, darts has always been popular in the UK and its growing in popularity with the younger crowd recently. It's entirely possible that Louis just loves a game of darts at the local, and his sisters' boyfriends do to, and he's watching competive darts lately (especially the first openly gay dart player who is super popular right now), and Pleasing thought somehow darts were Valentine's day imagery.

EXTRA STUFF & FINAL THOUGHTS

As mentioned by this Twitter user, the artwork is pretty well likely AI generated (plus a little Canva/Photoshop for the numbers). It has all the tell-tale signs of generative AI (wonkey lines, misproportions, etc).

Louis has entire teams of graphic designers plus Joshua Halling (who loves this skind of thing) in his back pocket. He wouldn't need AI for any of this.

At this point, The Observer is definitely an interesting mystery, but whether it’s something to pay attention to or just a fan-run account remains to be seen. The AI-generated images are a major red flag—it’s hard to imagine Louis or his team relying on AI when he has actual designers and photographers on hand. Even his more cryptic rollouts in the past have been visually polished and intentional.

That said, the timing of the tweets, the SACEM song listing, and the number symbolism do make it intriguing enough to keep an eye on. If this is a fan project, they’re clearly deep in the lore and know how to grab attention.

Key Takeaways:

Be cautious. If this is a fan messing around, engaging too seriously could be dangerous to your online safety.

Don’t assume it’s official.

It's probably not connected and Louis probably knows nothing about it. If it is somehow connected it will become obvious soon. If it's not (way more likely), it’ll probably fade out like other fandom mysteries before it.

For now? I’m just observing The Observer. 👀

[dmbakura]

OK I feel like I need to say this but despite my enjoyment and praise of the dmc anime, I don't support whatever weird fucking grift adi shankar is on about on twitter. quite frankly I find the guy really strange and his sudden pivot into RW spaces in recent times concerning. idk if it's some bizarre troll bit he's committed to or what

and it's strange to me because it doesn't match with anything said in the show, hell it doesn't even match with how he talks about it in interviews and his experiences with being an immigrant in america/witnessing poverty in india. nothing about it adds up (one such interview linked here:

I'm not gonna claim to know what's going on in his head and I'm also not gonna claim that having these experiences also means he can't have awful politics. I'm just saying that his behavior on twitter doesn't even feel like the same person and comes across like active self sabotage

I don't know why he was at the trump inauguration. I don't know if he's playing some weird centrist angle or if it's what he actually believes, but quite frankly someone needs to take his internet access away if he thinks posting asmonmolds face 40 times in a row is le funny troll

I should also remind people that despite being showrunner w his name plastered everywhere, adi shankar isn't the writer of dmc. the main writer/scriptwriter is alex larsen. the show is not being developed only by one person despite the tendency to attribute creative projects to a single individual

I like the show, it resonates with me and I AM excited for season 2, but i have to make it clear that when it comes to politics, I don't expect leftist masterpieces from high budget media. I fully acknowledge they could completely botch the commentary they've set up in season 1

I'm HOPING that doesn't happen for dmc and it has more to say with its anti imperialist/US critical message, but I also saw what happened to arcane s2 so lmao. regardless, death of the author and all that. I will keep enjoying the show, analyzing it, being critical of it, what have you 👍

[fushitoru]

rules + about me!

about me . . .

i'm a nineteen year old, and right now, i started this blog as a hobby to spend during my gap year.

next year, i'll be double majoring in math and computer science.

english is my second language. i can speak english, hindi, and spanish (but i don't speak the last two that well).

i live in america, but i was born and raised in india. i'm in the IST time zone right now.

as of right now, i only write for jjk.

my favorite anime is definitely jjk, but i mainly watch shoujo and sometimes shounen that i deem worthy of watching. for example, i've watched/watching aot and haikyuu.

i'm currently watching a lot of things, but i'm trying to get my way through haikyuu and heaven's official blessing.

some ground rules . . .

i block all unnecessary hate and performative type asks in my inbox on sight. don't try to get a rise out of me because you're not going to get a reaction. i'm also a stan twitter veteran (on armytwt LMAOAO) so you're not going to faze me. however, if you genuinely have an issue with something i've said, feel free to send me an ask. just be respectful.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: I may have activated my own trap card

Spoilers for a movie that's two months old and also out on home release.

So, Miles, Gwen, Pavitr (Spider-India), and Hobie (Spider-Punk) all seem to have modern left-wing politics, though Gwen's got edited out. Hobie's introduction specifically says he hates "fascists", which carries over from the original comics.

By the time Hobie came around, I assumed he was just another poser, cooler than the hero rival character, expressing generic leftie politics, and his punk ethos wasn't sincere.

Which is exactly what the writers wanted me to think.

Not only is Hobie perfectly sincere about being anti-authoritarian, but he's been helping Miles since before they even met. He's been blatantly stealing junk from the Spider Society to build his own universe-jumping watch, and disguising it as petty vandalism.

He even tries to talk Miles out of trying to join the Spider-Society before the reveal that Miles himself is an anomaly, and the SS (geddit?) tries to detain Miles.

When Hobie says he's against authoritarianism, he really means it.

Speaking of the left-wing politics, Miles has a "#BLM" pin on his bag. It's very visible while he sits next to his dad.

Who's a cop.

(TANGENT: A few years ago, someone drew a stupid, very bad comic where Spider-Man (Peter Parker) was a) black, b) hated cops, and c) assaulted and subdued riot cops when they asked him for help.

That the comic didn't even show the riot cops were wrong. We were just supposed to assume they deserve to be left to the mercy of an angry mob.

Also, in this comic, Uncle Ben was killed by a cop, not a random thug who Spidey could've stopped but chose not to. Which makes me wonder how that would shake out.

It's kind of weird for someone to look at a character who's about personal responsibility to an unhealthy degree, and use him to express their collectivist anti-cop terrorism fantasies. That, or they didn't think through their fantasies.)

During Spider-India's opening, Miles says "I love Chai Tea!" And Pavitr goes on a rant about how "Chai" means "tea". Later on, The Spot says he's been on a "journey of self-discovery", and Pavitr basically says he's racist.

Which is a tad ironic, because Spot is literally white. And also because Pavitr is the one making the racist assumptions.

And I personally go to a church - in England - that has a lot of non-white non-British people. Mostly Africans. And me, of course. I wonder if any Asians ever went on a journey of self discovery to South London.

And I don't just mean as a cab driver.

"Wait, SYABM, didn't you move to the UK for self-discovery?"

W-well, yes, partially.

Aside: I made the mistake of watching a Youtube video with the Chai Tea joke, and then I looked at the comments.

One guy said "tfw when Twitter users write a movie". An idiot (with much more upvotes) said "bro out here wanting blatant racism in movies".

...When the whole point of the joke is that the racism is not blatant.

It's only "blatant" if you're insufferably Twitterized. There are loads of redundant phrasings in English, like "ATM machine", and words often shift when they're adopted from other languages.

Also, "I dislike this joke" is not the same as "I want racism in this movie", when the "racism" in the movie is only there so it could be mocked.

One of the issues with putting real world movements in worlds that are drastically different - it's one of the main selling points of the franchise - is that it may seem odd that those movements exist in very similar form to the IRL version.

For example, Miles supports BLM in both his video game, and this. Which makes me think "did Trayvon Martin get shot in Florida? How about Mike Brown? Wouldn't the existence of supervillains throw things into a new perspective?"

Did I mention the giant George Floyd-style "REST IN POWER" mural to Miles' dead uncle? I cringed at that in the Wakanda Forever trailer, and I rolled my eyes at it here.

Floyd wasn't a saintly martyr, he was an unlucky violent thug.

Also, Aaron was a supervillain killed by another bad guy who nearly destroyed the city, not a cop.

Also, this is at a party to celebrate how Miles' dad is about to be promoted. Assuming Floyd died and the 2020 protests/riots also happened in Miles' universe, then it seems a tad tasteless to have a mural inspired by an anti-cop movement overlooking it, even if the party is not full of cops.

Spider-India lives in "Mumbattan".

The people who settled the Manhattan area were originally Indian. But the other type of Indian. The Indians we're not supposed to call Indians anymore.

The name "Manhattan" is even Native American.

The first permanent settlement was Dutch. Then the English got it. I guess the English could've shipped Indians to the other side of the world and eventually ceded the area to them, or maybe in this world India was a world-conquering superpower and Mumbattan is the result of...importing Native Americans?

Which would make Pavitr's complaint that "the British stole all of our stuff and put it in their museums" seem a tad hypocritical.

Of course, since I wrote all that, someone reminded me that Pavitr explicitly says the joint is in India.

"SYABM," you say, "you're overthinking this."

Yes, I am. Because the filmmakers didn't think it through. If you want to use ha-ha-funny to make a serious point, you invite examination of that point.

Miles (as Spidey) now works with his dad, though he disguises his voice. At one point, Miles tells his father that men bottle up mental health issues.

This is true (and ironic, considering Miles is hiding who he is from Jeff), but it's not the first time I've seen some progressive work try to address men's issues in an very awkward way. At least here, it's played for comedy.

Also, seems a tad hypocritical coming from a guy who wears a "#BLM" pin in the presence of his cop father.

Also, if you work the timeline, that would mean Miles was about 7 or 6 when BLM started. Which means he's gone most of his life knowing nothing else.

There was a controversy over a "protect trans kids" trans flag in Gwen's room, which was apparently edited out.

IMO, it seems a tad strange for a girl who feels estranged from everyone in her world to join a social movement, but what do I know? Maybe it was there before then.

Some people came to the extremely logical conclusion that Gwen herself is trans. Even though she's distinctly physically feminine and possibly too young for puberty blockers depending on Earth 65′s laws.

Like the "oh great, it's Liv" shippers, people are reaching really hard to see what they want to see.

Some people have said that Gwen's issues with her dad and herself seem awfully similar to the issues LGBTQIA2S+ kids go through.

Gee, it's not like, y'know, feeling estranged from one's family is a common theme in fiction about teenagers and superhero, and the whole "superpowers = minority" thing has been done to death for most of the past century.

Perhaps most notably - and clumsily - in X-Men.

I'm not saying this wasn't the intended subtext. I'm saying if it was, it would just be really, really cliche.

There's this recurring theme of people telling miles "how [his] story is supposed to go".

When he's at a meeting with his parents and his guidance counselor, the lady says his story of being a black-Latino son of an immigrant would sound great in the college application letters. His mom is a tad miffed, given that they're a) solidly middle class, and b) as a Puerto Rican, she considers herself American.

Miguel (Spider-Man 2099) doesn't want Miles in the multiversal council of Spiders, because Miles was bitten by the radioactive spider from a different universe. Which is why his local Spider-Man died, and the spider's home dimension has no Spider-Man.

Also, Miguel is fixated on "canon events". The idea that there are certain things, especially tragedies, that have to happen to Spiders, or their entire universe falls apart.

And he knows this, because he tried to take over for a version of him that got shot dead by a thug. Tried to raise his daughter.

And he watched as the universe collapsed in front of him.

So he's projecting his own guilt onto Miles, a tad.

According to TVtropes and other sources, this was actually about the people who didn't accept Miles as a replacement Spidey, possibly out of racism.

Yeah, that's real hard-hitting topical meta-commentary about a character who debuted 12 years ago. 8 years when the first movie came out.

I'd also like to point out that despite stereotypes of comic book fans, certain minority successors to banner superheros have been fairly well-received. Like Jaime Reyes, or Cassandra Cain.

(Note: I wrote that before the Blue Beetle movie came out. And flopped.)

And, of course, loads of people like Miles specifically because he's a minority Spidey, which is also racist, just from the other direction. In fact, a lot of his fans seem to forget the "Latino" part of "Afro-Latino". From what little I've seen of Miles early comics, they did actually put strong emphasis on his race.

I also suspect the filmmakers may be misinterpreting the usual successor knee-jerk reactions

as racism. If you're using an established brand name for your new hero, you're creating some expectations.

Also, you know the most popular meme about regular Spidey that I see? That Marvel's writers just keep making him suffer and don't want him to actually develop. Which would kinda make Marvel closer to Team Miguel than Team Miles.

Miles also gripes that Miguel is letting "some algorithm" tell him what to do. While I agree with the sentiment, I'd like to point out that, again, Miles supports BLM.

A movement popularized by an algorithm.

A movement made up of narratives and assumptions.

A movement which has never proven a single incident was because of racism.

During the big chase scene, we see a Spider girl in a wheelchair, aka Sun-Spider. She's from the comics. Same initiative that gave us "Web-Weaver".

Who is, of course, an extremely effete gay fashion designer Spidey. I kinda like his outfit, though the Spider-eyes with eyelashes is a little too far.

And Sun-Spider seems exactly like a character a stereotypical 90s executive and focus group would come up with. Down to the backward baseball cap.

(Turns out she's Dayn Broder's actual Spider-Sona.)

Also, while I was looking up that one black and white Spider who said "nowhere to run" (Metro-Spider, played by record producer Metro Boomin [/sic]), I found out that Aunt May's full name is "Maybelle", not just "May". TIL.

There's a bit of a double standard with this version of Spider-Woman, who's black and pregnant. -People in the movie - including Peter B - regularly point out how Peter B endangering his infant daughter Mayday by taking her along with him. But for some reason, nobody says a word about Jessica, who's an active-duty stunt-biking superhero.

Even regular motorbiking can be dangerous for pregnant women.

In fact, the movie portrays this as heroic and impressive. When Gwen sees  Jess is preggos, she asks if Jess can adopt her.

Not to mention the whole "afro and hoop earrings" thing, which seem like a bad idea for a type of hero who often gets into melee combat, even with Spider-Sense.

Yes, I'm aware that female heroes, including the Spider-Ladies, often have exposed hair. It's a genre convention. Incidentally, it was nice to see Batwoman wore a detachable decoy wig in the comics. Some bad guy tries to grab it in a fight? It comes right off.

Also, Jess doesn't have much actual character.

Being pregnant is not a character trait. In fact, her only real traits are basically "cool but stern sassy mentor", to contrast with Peter B. -Incidentally, someone on TVtropes pointed out the double standard. And when I saw the page again, a page-camper had deleted it, with no explanation.

Guess they couldn't stand someone pointing out the flaws of their waifu.

(One) Spider-UK in this movie is Muslim. I know she's Muslim because she wears a Spider-themed headdress. Note that regular Marvel 616 has a muslim lady Spider-UK, but her name is Zarina Zahari and she doesn't wear a hijabi.

(Also, she could be mistaken for Ms. Marvel.)

ms marvel.jpg

You might be thinking "wait, isn't a headdress impractical in a melee fight? Doesn't it give your enemy something to grab?" Yes, it is.

But so are Jess's earrings, afro, and being pregnant, so clearly there's a lot of artistic license going on.

Maybe it's partially tearaway, like Batman's cape.

I gotta wonder about the religious rules of wearing a head covering over a mask that *already* covers your entire head. Did she go see her imam and go "Okay, I have a really weird question..."

Come to think, Spidey is usually slim, but a lot of lady Spideys in this movie seemed to have wide hips. Including muscular ladies. Kris Anka's concept art goes really hard on wide hips. I don't know why. Stronger, faster character reads during the big chase?

I guess Spiders could be expected to have strong legs.

BOTTOM LINE:

I liked the movie overall, though the progressive bits made me roll my eyes a little. I...want to see the third one, with reservations.

[kharmii]

So “Trump” (aka Israel) wants the “US” (aka Israel) to take over Gaza and leftists complain as if this isn’t exactly what they’re preaching. “Importing foreigners to a society is healthy and helps the society to survive!! Racist!!!”

WELL, in that case Israel is just substituting the Palestinians with Israelis which helps Palestine survive. Lmao.

Trump was probably irl trolling, same as he did with the tariffs and Panama Canal deal. He's throwing out an outrageous threat hoping that it will result in other countries making good decisions on their own.

Speaking of 'importing foreigners', the debacle with USAID is making me come up with some conspiracy theories I'm predicting might come to light as investigations into where all the money went proceed.

Since USAID is an arm of the CIA that does intel ops the government wouldn't normally approve of, or so the stories on Twitter say, there was an instance of fraud where money earmarked for Pakistan was instead sent to Cuba. They created a Cuban Twitter called ZunZuneo in order to organize flash mobs and cause social unrest. People are now wondering if they were using those same tactics in our own country with destructive flash mobs of BLM/Antifa people.

It makes me wonder if they earmarked money for one thing but actually used it to fund many of the problems happening in the world. IE: What if that grant for a 'gay opera in Ireland' was instead used to bring in welfare dependent migrants from Nigeria? What if it isn't just European countries being traitors against their own people, but the United States in collaboration?

The other thing I've been wondering about might have more to do with NGOs than USAID, but it's in regard to farmland in the Midwest, US. The price of land in Midwestern blue states has been really expensive for a while. If someone wants to build on a quarter acre of land, it's like 90K minimum for the lot, and then they also have to pay to build the actual house on top of exorbitant property, income, sales, etc taxes found in blue states. If someone wants to buy a house that's been already built sitting on an established farm, they're looking at a minimum of half a million dollars.

Suddenly last couple years, foreign companies from China and India are coming in, buying up farmland, and covering them with gaudy solar arrays. Sometimes the local citizens will go to the county meetings and protest. In most states, if a company wants to put up any sort of structure, -whether it's a solar panel or a pole barn- they have to send two certified letters to all their neighbors notifying them they can attend a county meeting and protest. People do this, but a lot of times, the panels go up anyway.

Also, sometimes a farm will sit for sale because nobody can afford to buy it, but then suddenly a bunch of Muslims from the other side of the planet are able to come in, buy it, then immediately be given a contract to send produce to a local grocery store. It's my suspicion that NGOs are funding the effort to bring people in from foreign countries to work on our farmland because....get it? Kids these days are too fat and lazy to work on farms in their own communities, just like how they don't want to get good paying jobs in their own communities, so we have to hire people from 50+ miles away or bring them in on H1B visas.

I'm sure if any NGO walked into any highschool in rural area and asked how many kids would work on farms if they fckn BOUGHT it for them and let them jump right into a profitable contract, they'd have a line of kids clamoring for the opportunity, but our government hates its own populace and wants to import better serfs. When it's all said and done, I'll bet they find enough dirty deeds to warrant a military tribunal and Gitmo for some of these scumbag crooks, but I'm satisfied with the current progress. Hopefully once the funding dries up for all the Marxist bullshit, a lot of the evil happening in the world will be scaled back somewhat. I get we're not the only rich country in the world, but we do a large part.

Hey zoomer Huey, oh my god ac red is going to be HELL when they finally revealed Yasuke is going to be the second playable character

https://x.com/oliverjia1014/status/1768104847071719880?s=46

My thing with Yasuke for the upcoming game that they acknowledge he a OUTSIDER. Hell I did some dna research in Southeast Asia and it stated many communities are East African descent so they can say post main story Yasuke settled down and retired to one of those places

Also I saw people said Japan achieved more than those 54 countries….sigh….

People forget that modern Japan is HEAVILY westernized due to American military there (mainly because we don’t want more batshit crazy soldiers like imperial Japanese ones)

And we took care of most of military might because we all know how fucked Japan would be after China got it shit together right?

So Japan was able to rebuilt faster than most countries

We just didn’t pull a British Raj and let Japan keep most of their culture. Okay okay it more complicated

Not to mention our knowledge of japan is due to american occupation there thus the culture exchange for 80 years.

Like my Yoruba thing, yes I want to show more Africans stories. But I swallow the hard pill that I can set the foundation for more better and accurate African stories. But will die before seeing African warriors be treated the same way as Samurai warriors

Also the inferiority complex, look yes African cultures are still shit on

But just grow the fuck up and stop acting like Twitter discourse is everything

I mean I recently bought the Ramayana after finding a mutual who like a naughty character Twitter see as the devil.

Just saying there are good African AND African Americans stories we can tell.

Actually have fleshing out the chimera republic in mind. I think I started to realize an issues with the knights and samurai shit. Wanna read in an another anon?

Did a reverse search on the image here, nice to see most everyone is on the same page, which is Yasuke was real and the only black samurai that's known

Fellow from Japan suggested checking this site if you're looking for dark skinned people, not sure if he means African or not, Spain and Portugal did lots of trading might have had some African slaves or something like that with them. I dunno.

My thing with Yasuke for the upcoming game that they acknowledge he a OUTSIDER. Hell I did some dna research in Southeast Asia and it stated many communities are East African descent so they can say post main story Yasuke settled down and retired to one of those places

I can believe the East African bit, these are the "bad guys" from 300 from India to Ethiopia and they were big on moving people from one place to another in order to keep them from creating a large enough community to pose a threat.

They've become pretty westernized over there in Japan ya, not all the way the commercial with the company apologizing for raising the price of a ice cream after like 25 years is not a western thing at all, we'd say fuck you and then increase it again.

Arizona Ice Tea is a outlier there.

And we took care of most of military might because we all know how fucked Japan would be after China got it shit together right?

We took care of military for the same reason we did with Germany, don't want to have to deal with that shit again so you can have a very limited military that's geared for self defense, someone attacks we'll come running and cover you.

Like my Yoruba thing, yes I want to show more Africans stories. But I swallow the hard pill that I can set the foundation for more better and accurate African stories. But will die before seeing African warriors be treated the same way as Samurai warriors

See if you can find the Shaka Zulu series they made, man literally changed warfare in that part of Africa.

Big issue with sub Saharan Africa is I don't think there was any groups that could field a 10,000 man army, not many at least, not till after islam showed up and gave a unifying identity to different groups. This is just from what I know I may be wrong though.

Just saying there are good African AND African Americans stories we can tell. Actually have fleshing out the chimera republic in mind. I think I started to realize an issues with the knights and samurai shit. Wanna read in an another anon?

True dat, and ya that could be a fun read feel free.

So, I discovered your blog on twitter as I saw someone saying to block you and it made me curious to see what that was about and while I don’t really care about a lot of your opinions, I would like to give me 2 cents on certain topics you’ve touched previously bc you said that people can rant on your blog and it’s hard to find a place to give your honest opinion. So here goes: First of all, I wish people would stop hating on Jonny for his likes and comments. And I say that I someone who doesn’t care for that man. While I don’t buy into the theory that he and Simone hate each other, it’s pretty clear that he doesn’t have a soft spot for her like he does for Phoebe and CC, which is fine by me bc Simone also doesn’t have a soft spot for him like she does for Ncuti and Phoebe. And I absolutely don’t think she supports them only bc she’s friends with them cause I don’t think she’s that close to anyone she’s worked with and keeps her personal and professional life separate. I think she just supports people she really likes just like Jonny and that’s ok. They worked together and then went their separate ways and only engage with people they really like online. It’s mutual. Second of all, there are so many Simone fans who throw her under the bus in order to defend Jonny and it’s sad to watch. There really is no difference in the way they speak about her when defending him and how a hater would put her down if someone said something about their fave like NC or India. I remember the way some people were talking about her when they ss I guess your blog and then a fan pointed out to stop dragging Simone which lead to someone saying that they are defending Jonny from homophobia. Now nobody should tolerate homophobia, but there really was no need to say stuff like ‘they hate him bc he’s booked and she isn’t’ and ‘he’s not the one who told people to not ask questions about his job, she did’. Like hate on the person writing homophobic shit. Why are you dragging that person’s favourite celebrity like a hater would in order to get at them?! And they’re apparently fans of the person they’re dragging! I’m convinced that 97% of Simone/Jonny fans would absolutely choose him over her if they ever had to and it’s sad. I really want her to have her own fans one day. Anyways, rant over!

Hi!

I don't think Simone and JB hate each other, let me tell you the whole campaign "block that person" that started on twitter against me took place because I went against some mean girls of the fandom who thought they held the universal truth in their hands....this being that JB and Simone are besties. I don't think they are, and as you said, they're probably just collegues who worked on a project together and that's it. I do think Simone had a bad experience on that set tho.

you're absolutely correct when you say some people only disguise themselves as Simone fans because the've proven so many times that they're ready to throw Simone under the bus to defend that man when I "attack" him on my blog. If they're so pissed with me is there a reason to joke about Simone state of employment? or to say "I'm a Simone stan but I have no choice but to say this about her..." these are things that happened not more than a month ago, it was said by people who even have Simone fan pages on twitter or instagram. Fucking yikes.

Also don't worry, Simone does have her fans, when her other projects come out it's only going to get better

Meracydia will be inspired by Africa and Australia both, just like Eorzea is inspired by Europe.

I’ve gotten tired of some things said by the FFXIV community, so I’ve decided to make this post. Let me tell you a fact that it seems some people on Twitter/Reddit/FFXIVForum do not understand - Meracydia will have African influence, not only Australian! I  am so tired that there are people who want to erase us. Do you want proof? Maybe go look and read some of the text about Meracydia that is already in the game…

For example, in the description of Hippo Calf (Minion) that we can get from Vanaspati we can read that Hippopotami are native to Meracydia and remember that Hippopotamus in the real world is a large semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. I could keep adding more and more stuff like this, but this post would be too long…

The next fact that is very important to be stated is that Meracydia’s placement on the map is not the exact same spot of Australia’s on a real world map. 7.0 map showed us that Meracydia is placed under Thavnair and in real world Australia is not placed under India, but that place is like a halfway between Australia and Africa, so it even further shows that it will be influenced by both Africa and Australia.

I can wait as long as the devs want to see a place inspired by Africa in the game, because as we could see in the game before, that means that they will add gear/hairstyles etc. based on that culture. Examples? In the Myths of the Realm raids give you gear based on Greek culture…

So now my dear fellows, remember that if they add Meracydia, we will finally get our deserved customization!

Now it is time for the other and maybe even worse and a very bad misconception that I’ve seen people are discussing on Twitter, Forum and Reddit calling “Eorzea being irl Africa” “because of its shape and placement on the map”. Let me say it clearly: Eorzea is inspired by Europe, not by our Africa, which with Australia is an inspiration for Meracydia. I’ll try to tell you why that is wrong and why that statement for me is a very concerning one.

Let’s begin with pointing out that the Eorzea-Garlemald conflict was based on Greek-Persian conflict and it was stated in Eorzea Pre-Live Report that “situation in Eorzea similar to the months before the Persian Empire marched on Greece”. In the interview from Famitsu 3/2022 FFXIV devs stated that the Garlemald in Endwalker was inspired by Russia and the Roman Empire (Source) and we can clearly see on the map, that Garlemald is taking a similar spot to Russia (or even USSR) and Ilsabard is like a (part of) North, Central and Southern Asia (both Garlemald - inspired by Russia and Thavanir inspired by India are on that continent) and Othard is East Asian inspired.

The shape of the continent where we start our adventure and its placement is more likely based on Europe when we turn it to the side, not Africa. You just have to tear down Europe from the rest of Eurasia and turn it to the side. I’ll use a vector stock image to show you that.

This is a very similar to the shape of Eorzea, but squeeze it and add more water to some places (keep in mind that the shapes of continents are mostly changed by devs to not resemble the irl ones too much, see Thavanir being an island when India is a peninsula). Also it roughly matches the cultures there, even Ul’dah, since it would be a similar spot to Moorish Spain/Al-Andalus (if someone doesn’t know what that was, go check your history book or look here). Even Ala Mhigo roughly matches the place of Turkey and it was stated by the devs, that the main inspirations for Ala Mhigo map’s placement was Turkey (Source) and Ala Mhigo is “the nation located at the junction of two civilizations and is a geopolitical strategic point”.

Moreover, Africa is much larger than Eorzea, reaching much below the south of the equator, at the same time Europe could match the size of Eorzea, since it's is said to be a small continent (Europe is 2nd smallest continent, Africa is the 2nd largest).

People who claim that Eorzea is Africa give a very bad message in my opinion (especially for us, the African community), I will explain to you now, but we must state some facts, that were not stated above:

None of the races that we can play in the game are truly native for Eorzea, they came here from other parts of the world.

The first race who claim to be “the oldest of Eorzea's native sentient races” are Elezen. (Source)

That is their own claim, but not quite the truth, because in the naming convention post we can read that Elezen were first of those races to arrive in Eorzea, but they came from the north to Eorzea. (Source)

4. That north is definitely not Coerthas, because in the Encyclopedia Eorzea I on page 149 we can read that the Elezen came to the Coerthas for the first time after the Great Hyuran Migration.

5. The Elezen are highly European inspired, their architecture, their food, the fact that their language is highly based on French etc.

6. Once again - other races are also not from Eorzea, they migrated here from other parts of the world.

Now if you can sum up facts, it is painting a horrible picture and now you understand why I refuse that any person will claim that “Eorzea is Africa”, when it’s clearly not. If you still do not understand, let me sum this up for you: If you say “Eorzea is Africa” you give a message that a European based Elezen race (whose language is based on French) are coming from the north and claiming a lot of lands on the continent (Coerthas, the land near Gridania etc.) that in your opinion is supposed to be based on Africa. Can you see it now? Can you see what is that supporting? Also, I will not accept that if Elezen were first to arrive there from playable races with their culture based on European, and that they literally claimed a huge part of the continent, that would mean that we would be compared to the indigenous inhabitants of this lands, which are… the tribes that we deal with in ARR and later and that is unacceptable and I think that I do not have to tell you why…

The placement of the continent is also not matching Africa, since Eorzea seems to be higher as someone stated on FFXIV forum.

Just look at the world from Mare Lamentorum and remember that Coerthas is so far north that you can see Aurora Borealis (I saw it during clear skies weather in Coerthas Western Highlands around 00:40/45 Eorzea time) and that's the thing that you won’t see in northern parts of Africa.

I think that now you understand why the theory of “Eorzea is Africa” is a harmful one for us. Eorzea is Europe, maybe turned to the side, but still Europe. I see no influence of indigenous African culture there. Because of the possible collision of flipped Europe with our continent, Africa got moved and smashed with Australia creating Meracydia, that’s why it’s on the FFXIV map that translated to being between real world Africa and Australia.

Once again I will say, you may yell as loud as you want, but it is already stated in the game that Meracydia has a lot of African influences and you will not erase it. Oh and remember that Australian influence on Meracydia will likely come from Australian indigenous culture, so I’m very happy that they will make a land based on indigenous cultures of both Africa and Australia together. Also, if you still want to erase our culture by saying the lie “Eorzea is Africa” or “Eorzea is in the shape and place of Africa so you don’t need anything more” go ahead and live in your delusion. We all know that devs most of the times use culture matching the region (like Ilsabard is Russia and part of Asia with India).

queen charlotte’s first meeting scene is as rip off from magnificent century kösem. i hope this will become bigger news when show starts

https://twitter.com/aofaglover/status/1573758456737124352?s=46&t=Cj8-wxU3Iw5Sa0s-i59iAw

Just wanna put this disclaimer out before anyone starts reading under the cut: Despite this ask & post and my own feelings about the show, it has been really heartwarming to see BIPOC fans delight in this show and my fandom friends gushing to me about this :D That is something no one can take away from them and I'm very glad they enjoyed it!

[This is also my first and last post on QC so my overall thoughts on the show and everything surrounding it will be there at the end!]

Hello again yall!! I actually started writing this a month ago when I was in Bali with my fam but could never find a good pic comparing George and Julian lmaooo so I gave up on it for a while. Also I've been hella busy at work but I'm back for a bit!

Heya anon! I'm not sure if I blogged about it but the moment the first teaser of their meet cute dropped, every one who has seen Turkish drama kicked up a fuss on Twitter. As they should!!

This is the original clip in question:

Alot of people did talk about it at the time - especially on Twitter and Reddit and I know a few of my mutuals on here talked about it briefly.

The ripping off was not a great start to the QC promo on top of "Love cures racism". All my friends have given their input on the "realistic" aspect of the show, I agree with their points and don't have much to add on tbh so I'll link the posts here:

Tbh yall can just go through Triv’s QC tag

Honorable Post Mentions: 

On top of this rip off meet cute; I picked this ask cos ever since the first few promo stills dropped my friends and I - particularly Zaira, Triv and Belle - noticed another rip off from our childhoods.

Can yall guess what it is?

Yall he's SO Julian coded please - I love him (this is me saying before the show aired and I won't be watching but the vibes are thereee)

Then the video of QC and LD came out recently (a month ago when I wrote this reply hahah):

Down to the dresses, it's giving:

Shoutout to @hptriviachamp for pointing it out lmao

Sidebar: while I'm not interested in QC's premise, I do love how well India and Arsema are playing their chars (from what I've seen so far) and I WOULD LOVE to see a version of Barbie's Princess and Pauper with these two!! Speaking of them, look at their chemistry in this pic!!

Also me seeing the end of the vid:

All in all to say the Kosem copying was bad and it should be called out but the Barbie references are all in good fun!

Since this is the main ask I've gotten about the show, I'm also going to put my main thoughts here and I don't think I'll be answering any follow up asks because every take has kind of been said and done. I really don't have much to add on since I'm not ever going to watch the show either.

Outside of the show, I adoree that India and Arsema are getting their flowers and the couple is being promoted how they should be! It's all well deserved. A small part of me does feel sad because if this is the PR team going all out, where was all this fanfare for S2, Jimone and Kathony?

However, based on what I've been told:

- I'm glad the chemistry between QC and George was good and everyone enjoyed their romance

- Who on the team hates LD?? Because COME ON martial rape AND giving her a not-hot older man IN VIOLET'S DAD OF ALL PEOPLE?? They did her so dirty. Idc if Lord Ledger gave her the first orgasm of her life, I see that man and no thank you. My girl deserved someone as hot as Adolphus!

- These two things is a HUGE reason why I can't watch the show cos of my triggers: I hate hate how gratuitous they were with the torture porn - both with LD's scenes with her husband (FOURRRR MARTIAL RAPE SCENES THAT'S LAUGHED OFF AS A GAG???) and George getting waterboarded for his mental illness. As someone who experienced SA and has a mental illness, these are very sore subjects for me so no thank you QC, but I will not be tuning in.

Anyway to close this out, congrats to the cast for doing a great job and whoever enjoyed the show, I'm glad you did! Those who read this and agree with me, just know you aren't alone in your critiques of the show. As long as you're being respectful and mindful of the language used, your criticism and enjoyment of the show are both valid!

OMG my brother in law, the gift that never stops giving, was tired of being sent to get rice every day so he decided buy in bulk, talked to the shop about it, wires got crossed, now there is a literal TRUCK FILLED WITH RICE outside the house and my sister is losing her shit lmfao

If you have never heard a woman destroy a man with one sentence 25 times in a row you should meet my sister. She's terrifying rn, I'm on the phone and I'm scared and she isnt even angry at me lol

To clarify, this is India so when I say truck, I don't mean SUV, IT IS A LITERAL LORRY FILLED WITH RICE

Update: BIL is now negotiating with lorry driver. My requests to keep phone on speaker so I can hear have been coldly rebuffed. I can however confirm that bribe has been offered and rejected. I cannot say whether this was a question of principle or price

Update 2: BIL wants everyone reading this to know that I'm  dick for livetweeting it and this is not helping

as a horror writer, I can now confirm to you with evidence that anything can be horror, I just watched a man's face curl up in abject terror at the words "Why Is It Still Outside My House?"

Update to Drama: BIL had come in to explain that driver insists they'll have to take the rice(and pay) but midway through thouht better of it and is now negotiating with driver again. An excellent demonstration of the flight instinct in mammals when confronted with mortal peril

Side update: They also apparently have to unload the rice themselves.

Update: Calls are now being made to owner of warehouse

Update: Warehouse Owner is not taking calls. Spot negotiations have resumed.

Also all of you enjoying this need to join me in thanking Mom for going above and beyond the call of duty and carrying phone between locations & also relaying key info while somehow also social distancing so we can continue bringing you our live reporting on this unfolding crisis

Update: BIL is making headway. Lorry driver and helper have accepted cigarettes from him. Negotiations have resumed while all 3 smoke.

Update: Lorry driver just laughed at something BIL said. BIL also laughing. Cigarettes may have been a masterstroke by BIL. We are moving our reporting back indoors to inform Sis.

Key Update: Cigarettes were in fact a huge strategic blunder because BIL apparently assured sis that he's definitely finally quit smoking on Sunday and in no way shape or form was supposed to have packs of cigs just there in pocket ready to be used as negotiating aid.

Update: Bereft of victims for the moment, sister is now asking me if I knew about this. There may be a slight lull in updates while I swear innocence and try to avoid becoming collateral damage in this tale of Indian Carnage

Update: I have convinced sister that I am not party to this. However Mom and I have fled back outside because dad just walked in and asked sis "what is this truck outside why did you call it?"

BIL Update: Warehouse Owner still not taking calls but they have reached some chappu of his who told them to call someone called Manu, he'll take care of it. Thats all we know about him. He's Manu, this his number and he'll take care of it.  He is the Mr Wolf of warehouse cockups

Update: Manu is not answering the phone.

Update: Dad has also come outside and joined outside reporting crew. Mom asked him why are you here and his response was why are YOU here?

We are all here

Update: Manu just called.

Manu is now speaking to lorry driver. Driver is getting animated. He is the real victim(I kinda agree)

Manu is now speaking to BIL.

BIL is getting animated

Manu has asked to speak to lorry driver again

Manu clearly believes in getting all sides in a conflict before coming to a decision because he is now speaking to lorry driver's assistant. A wise judge. Maybe he'll want to speak to me too. One can but hope.

Manu is now speaking to BIL again. So far he has shown no interest in speaking to us. This is humbling.

Mom is scolding dad for demanding to speak to Manu. Dad has been banished back inside as punishment.

Meanwhile Manu and BIL do not appear close to a resolution.

Dad attemped to break curfew and come back out. He has now claimed he's done with the whole thing and doesnt care and also where the hell is dinner and he is going to room to watch news because state of the world matters more than a ruddy truck. Valid points, but I am skeptical.

BREAKING NEWS: Manu Is Coming

First however, Manu obv has to talk to driver again. Manu seems to be a talker, he has lots to say to everyone.

Still nothing to say to me though. Hey Manu, nobody likes a snob, you know. I'm a person too.

Phone has been hung up. We are now waiting for Manu.

holy shit a lot of y'all care about my BIL and his misadventures with rice trucks. We're still waiting for Manu so consider this an ad break. Get popcorn, visit the loo, order some rice.

also since whats an ad break without ads, I talk about storytelling, humour etc here:

[picture of cat and link to patreon.com]

Update: Manu called again. He is lost and needs directions.

Mom is making everyone eat food while we wait. Ironically there is no rice on menu.

Update: Mom just called back. I think Manu may have arrived.

Ok we're outside(sorry bout delay, but we're dependent on mom who DGAF about anyone during dinner, even Manu)

Since I know I cared about this and was wondering, Manu kinda looks disappointingly average. He's just  normal, random desi uncle in shirt pant. Sad!

BIL is now making what appears to be a passionate case. Manu certainly appears sympathetic, he is nodding.

Manu is now nodding at what driver says. Manu nods at everyone.

BIL just played the "are you married" card. This is escalating. Manu's sense of husbandly empathy has been invoked.

It turns out Manu is indeed married. BIL is visibly relieved.

Lorry Driver wants them both to know that he too is married.

In a tragic twist, Lorry Drivers marriage was not deemed worthy of discussion by anyone. Lorry Driver is now my rooting interest

It appears Manu is brokering some sort of compromise.

Apparently compromise is that if BIL buys some sacks of rice* and then Manu will make the rest just go away. *Number under negotiation

Manu has opened aggressively with a you take half I take half offer. BIL has countered by pointing out in that case Manu will need to take him too

BIL is now saying he can do 10 bags but does Manu want a bottle of scotch thrown in? I deeply admire this man's commitment to corruption.

Plot twist: Manu is a teetotaller apparently

The lorry driver has shared that he however, would rather like a bottle of whisky. He is also willing to accept rum. He's accomodating like that.

Manu has informed him he won't be getting anything of the sort. Lorry driver looks unhappy

Lorry driver is no longer speaking up when Manu wants him to chime in. Heel turn.

BIL just produced a MS Dhoni/Tom Brady level comeback and has sent for rum for lorry driver. He is exploiting the breach.

Meanwhile mom wants to go to bed and I need to convince her not to she is our only window into this ricely saga send thoughts and prayers

Update: Mom is not going to bed just yet, I invoked this ridiculously large audience and it swayed her.

I think she may be judging y'all for caring this much about rice, but she's been judging me my whole life too, you'll be fine

Neighbour Uncle has emerged wearing kurta pajama. He wants to solve the problem himself.

Neighbour Uncle has unemerged because he was not wearing a mask and Neighbour Aunt was shouting at him

Meanwhile BIL and Manu seem to be closing in on a deal in the 20-25 bag range. Lorry Driver is now not even trying to hide his alignment switch.

They are now shaking hands. I believe we may have an accord.

Final terms: 23 bags, one bottle Old Monk, one bottle scotch*. Everyone is exhausted. * Lorry driver is the best fucking negotiator of the lot

ITS NOT OVER OH GOD NOW WHO WILL UNLOAD 23 BAGS ARGUMENT HAS STARTED

Lorry driver is sick of this shit. He has told helper to unload bags.

Helper, LD and BIL are now unloading bags. This will take a while.

Manu's work is done. He is leaving. This is not the only crisis he needs to solve tonight, no doubt. No rest for the elite specialist

Neighbour Uncle has re-emerged, now wearing mask.

BIL just asked Neighbour Uncle to help with bags.  I don't think I've ever seen a senior citizen walk home that fast.

Correction: He is not a senior citizen apparently. My mistake.

‌

This is followed by a reply tweeted by Eric @‌alem_do_sol:

Someday, maybe many years from now, your family is going to be out of rice again and your sister is going to have to decide if asking her husband to go and buy more is worth the risk of this happening again

‌

Tumblr user @‌icemankazansky then posted two images of Indian lorries. The vehicles are huge. In the first image one lorry is stacked high with at least 50 brown sacks of what is presumably rice. Each sack is as large as, if not larger than, the torso of a man who is also in the picture. The second picture shows a lorry stacked with even more sacks of presumed rice – at least 200 of them. There are so many sacks that they have been stacked higher than the driver's cabin, and indeed are even stacked on top of the cabin. They are stacked at least five sacks deep on the cargo bed, extending beyond the back end of the lorry, and tied down with rope to prevent them falling off.

The Trade Trap: A Rookie’s Guide to SEBI & Surviving the Stock Market

It was a crisp Monday morning when Arjun downloaded his first online share trading app. The rush of setting up his Demat account online, exploring best stocks to buy, and diving headfirst into stock market investment gave him goosebumps. He had seen reels of day traders making thousands, and his gut said he was ready.

Little did he know, the stock market wasn’t just graphs and green candles—it was a battlefield. And standing tall with a whistle and rulebook was SEBI—the Securities and Exchange Board of India.

Meet SEBI: The Unsung Hero of Every Trader’s Story

Imagine SEBI as that strict-but-fair school principal you didn’t like as a kid—but later realized saved you from becoming a total mess. That’s SEBI in the world of financial planning and investment strategies.

Since its legal powers in 1992, SEBI has guarded Indian financial markets, ensuring that stock brokers, companies, and traders all play fair. Because without rules? The stock market becomes a gambling den, and your hard-earned money becomes someone's lunch.

Stock Market for Beginners: Arjun’s First Shock

Arjun’s friend sent him a “hot tip” on WhatsApp—“This stock is going to skyrocket 10X tomorrow! Invest now.” Without a second thought, he YOLO-ed into it.

The next day? The stock tanked.

Welcome to the world of pump and dump schemes, where manipulators hype up a stock to dump it on unsuspecting newbies like Arjun. SEBI, the real MVP here, chases down such frauds with more intensity than a Netflix thriller.

5 SEBI Rules That Saved Arjun (and Can Save You Too)

1. Insider Trading = Instant Trouble

Someone tells you, “This pharma company is about to launch a revolutionary drug—buy now!” If that info isn’t public? You're looking at illegal insider trading, not smart stock market trading.

SEBI's got rules tighter than a Mumbai local in peak hours. Play fair or pay the price.

2. Margin Trading ≠ Free Money

Arjun soon discovered margin trading. It felt like free capital—until the stock dipped and his broker asked for a margin call. It was like borrowing from a loan shark—fun at first, fatal later.

Understanding leverage risk is essential—especially for those in intraday trading or looking for high return investment options in India.

3. Short Selling Is Not for the Reckless

Yes, you can make money when a stock goes down. But without knowing SEBI’s short-selling norms? You're skating on thin ice.

Do your technical analysis of stocks before placing those bets.

4. IPO FOMO is Real—Don’t Fall for It

Arjun wanted to invest in every IPO after reading Twitter hype. But SEBI ensures IPOs disclose all data in their Red Herring Prospectus. If you don’t read it, you might as well play the lottery.

Share market investment tips 101: Always do your homework.

5. Registered Brokers Only, Please

Arjun initially used an app that wasn’t SEBI-registered. His funds got stuck. Lesson learned: always go with SEBI registered investment advisors and compare stock brokers in India before opening accounts.

Case Study That Shook India: Harshad Mehta

If you think one person can’t crash a market, meet Harshad Mehta. Back in the '90s, he exploited banking loopholes to manipulate stocks—until SEBI and authorities brought him down. A billion-rupee scam, a Netflix-worthy story, and a painful lesson.

This isn’t just history. It’s a warning. Whether you’re into PMS vs mutual funds, mutual fund investments, or direct mutual funds vs regular, remember: regulations exist for your safety.

How Arjun Turned It Around

He did what every smart investor should:

● Used only SEBI-approved online trading platforms

● Invested via SIP investment plans and ELSS mutual funds for tax savings

● Learned fundamental analysis of Indian stocks

● Chose best long-term stocks in India for wealth-building

● Consulted financial advisory services in India for portfolio planning

He also stopped chasing tips and started using strategies—asset allocation, retirement investment planning, and safe investment options in India became his new buzzwords.

Final Thoughts: The Market is Wild, but SEBI is Wiser

The stock market can make you rich—or ruin your wallet. SEBI isn’t your enemy—it’s your bodyguard, making sure your wealth journey is less about luck and more about strategy.

So whether you're opening your first zero brokerage trading account, comparing discount brokers vs full-service brokers, or looking into portfolio management services, remember this:

Don’t just trade. Trade smart. Trade safe. Trade SEBI-compliant.

Want to master the market like Arjun?

ag your trader buddy who needs to read this—before they fall into the same trap Arjun did!

Udit Narayan Controversy: 69-Year-Old Singer Breaks Silence On Receiving Backlash Over Kissing A Female Fan

Udit Narayan has reacted to the controversy, which was caused after he kissed a female fan at his recent concert.

Udit Narayan has finally reacting to his controversy, which was caused after he kissed a female fan at his recent concert. The video went viral on social media and netizens expressed their outrage over the veteran singer’s behaviour. While speaking to Hindustan Times, Udit Narayan has broken silence on this controversy. Reacting to the massive backlash, “Fans itne deewane hote hain na. Hum log aise nahi hain, hum decent log hain.

Some people encourage this and show their love through this. Udaake kya karna hai ab iss cheez ko? There are so many people in the crowd, and we have bodyguards present too. But fans think they are getting a chance to meet, so someone extends their hands for a handshake, some kiss the hands… yeh sab deewangi hoti hai. Uspe itna dhyaan nahi dena chahiye.”

He also told Hindustan Times that someone might have an ulterior motive against him. He said, “My family’s image is such that everyone wants (a controversy to happen) Aditya (Narayan, son and singer) chup chaap rehta hai, controversy mein aata nahi hai. Many must feel that. There is madness when I am singing on stage, fans love me, I think let them be happy. Otherwise iss type ke log hum hain hi nahi. Humein bhi unko khush karna hota hai.”

“I have been in Bollywood for 46 years now, my image hasn’t been such (that I forcefully kiss fans) In fact, I fold my hands when I see the love my fans shower on me, while on stage, I bow down, thinking phir aaj ka yeh waqt laut ke aaye na aaye,” the singer concluded.

The incident reportedly took place at his recent concert where he was clicking selfies with his fans. In the video, some women came towards the stage to click some pictures with Udit when he kissed them on cheeks. However, one of the female fans turned around and kissed him on the cheek. He then returned the gesture by kissing her on her lips.

I'm done with this and having my account on Twitter targeted. So, from now on, any of these fake, black plants that I find, that I discovered are linked to Israel and India, I will post. I don't have time to spare feelings. These disgusting attacks on Black Americans need to cease.

I knew, judging by the fucked up way that Hollywood was slowly presenting the truth about history by screwing it up, that someone was upset that the truth is coming out. The Internet works both ways, it seems. Some of the 'Blackwashing' in some projects has actually been depicting real history, without acknowledging it; allowing White Nationalists to believe they're being erased, while targeting Black people as trying to 'take white roles' when none of this was ever up to us.

Take Napoleon, for example. It seems that his history was tampered with and he was a Man of color. Is THIS why Oliver Stone tanked his own Napoleon film? The truth is out. 'We can't be seen worshipping Napoleon, anymore.'

Then, there's Shakespeare. The campaign to dismiss his work as his own has been ongoing for a long time, and for a while, it actually worked in re-popularizing his work. It turned into a sick game. First, they convinced the public that he didn't even exist. When that was proven wrong by an American professor, they said he didn't write his plays, even though there is ample proof of his working for years under other playwrights, to learn his craft, as he was tasked with helping to write scenes. Could it be because HE also may be Black? He had more Black characters in his works than just Othello. Now, I hear little swipes and jabs being added, into TV and film projects. One such scene was in an episode of Outlander. (The one between Jamie and Brianna where they take a swipe at Disney. It was very tacky. Outlander has usually been good at not getting political) The Oxford connected Smithsonian, which also hides a lot of history, has been involved in this scheme, too. Below, is both a video, showing evidence of Shakespeare being Black.

I included one that talks about the Black King James, because Shakespeare and his troupe were later known as The King's Men, his own literary Ambassadors, so to speak. It also goes into the Black Jacobites.

Lin Manuel Miranda participated in another scam, making himself famous for playing Hamilton, in the play which garnered millions. What they failed to admit to the audience and fans was that this was not a fantastical version of history but the closest thing to the truth that they could muster. Hamilton was Black, also. He also stuck to the unwritten rules of Hollywood. Anything that includes Black people in a story is not allowed to have a Classical soundtrack. So, Puerto Rican Miranda wrote up some cute little raps for the kids to admire. That's more than an insult. If we were in Europe, we were also involved in the creation of various art forms. It was Black Hebrews who brought the Harp to Europe, in the first place.

So, now, as historians are uncovering more of the truth about Europe, America, and how they were really formed, here comes a bunch of cheap, paid off, shit for brains, black? trolls, trying to manipulate Black Americans by telling them, they're ashamed of coming from African slaves. Like one guy said, that's hardly true, when the majority of us are too busy, living day to day, to even entertain such a useless thought, and obviously, we have managed to overcome such a past.

BUT...for those of us who prefer the truth, it seems there's a group out there, that don't want us looking into our real history.

I'll say this once for Native Americans. If you find Black people searching into their own Native American roots somehow offensive, you're a huge hypocrite. Because you didn't like it much when your own history was being attacked. Leave us alone.

For all of those asshole trolls, both from Israel and Africa, interfering in our personal business, you can go to hell. I know what you're doing.

The truth takes power away from those who sold the Lie.

The truth sets people free from feeling they have to follow a certain path, ie, Back To Africa. That was the point of Garvey and Malcolm X; to sell Africa, and convince more Black Americans to go, when some of them might not have ancestry there; at least, not directly.

The truth makes it so much harder to subjugate a people.

The truth destroys the box that Black Americans were put into, of being cut off from their lineage, and from being expected to behave a certain way... INCLUDING REJECTING AND NOT PARTICIPATING IN MOST OF THE WORLD THAT WE HELPED TO CREATE.

The truth uncovers a myriad of other crimes committed by those who tried to sell the Lie.

The truth also helps to uncover the secret loyalties of persons you would never suspect as helping the Liars.

I don't think there is a single Black person alive that wishes Africa anything but good. In point of fact, I'm having a lot of fun watching the AES grow and kick the spoiled ass of Western countries like France. But that is completely separate from looking into and connecting to my heritage, which includes Europe. But it's also, all very connected. I can now trace my lineage (No Slavery, but some Indentured) back to one of the original High Kings of Ireland. "Úgaine Mór, son of Eochu Buadach, son of Dui Ladrach, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, the 66th High King of Ireland."

"He was the foster-son of Cimbáeth and Macha Mong Ruad and he took power by killing his predecessor (and his foster-mother's killer), Rechtaid Rígderg. The Lebor Gabála Érenn says that, as well as Ireland, he ruled "Alba to the Sea of Wight" – i.e. the whole of the island of Britain – and that "some say" he ruled all of Europe.

He married Cessair Chrothach, daughter of the king of the Gauls, who bore him twenty-two sons and three daughters. He is said to have divided Ireland into twenty-five shares, one for each of his children. For example, his son Lóegaire Lorc ruled Life and Cobthach Cóel Breg ruled Bregia. His daughter Muirisc ruled Mag Muirisce, from which Murrisk is said to have taken its name. This partitioning of the island stood for three hundred years, until the establishment of the provinces under Eochu Feidlech.

The reign of Úgaine Mór was thirty or forty years, until he was killed by his brother Bodbchad. According to the Lebor Gabála, he was succeeded directly by his son Lóegaire Lorc, although the Annals of the Four Masters and Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn say Bodbchad was king for a day and a half until Lóegaire killed him. Cobthach Cóel Breg succeeded his brother Loegaire."

These people were all Black. They were Israelites.

I even included my family name in the description above, not that it'll help any of you trolling fuckers. It's my father's name. I go by my mom's. 😁

[ad_1] Rohit Sharma having a discussion with Jasprit Bumrah and Gautam Gambhir (Photo: Debasis Sen) Much is being said about leaks at the moment. How is it that dressing-room and team-management issues are regularly finding their way to the media in Indian cricket? ‘Leak’ and ‘gossip’ are the two buzzwords at the moment. Frankly, every exclusive story is a leak. If there were no leaks, there would be no exclusives. The entire industry would then work on press releases. No journalist would ever break a story and it would all be boring. It is only natural that a journalist would seek an exclusive. It is part of his or her job. When I recruit someone for RevSportz, I will always check if he or she has broken exclusive stories. It is part of our DNA. Go to any editor or journalist worth his or her salt, and check if they haven’t asked for an exclusive and the privilege of getting it first. If someone says that he or she hasn’t, all I will say is that it’s a bare-faced lie. Each of us wants our exclusives, because our professional standing depends on it. We all want to be the ones to get it first. That’s the nature of the game. The media has forever operated like that. A story is passed on to someone who can make it worth the trouble. Would the Prime Minister or Home Minister or any other senior politician speak to any and every journalist? Why do only some newsmakers get to speak to them? Does every media house get the same number of exclusives? And why do the top media houses play up these very same exclusives? For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah at the SCG Nets (PC: Debasis Sen) In fact, what is more interesting is that there was apparently a discussion in the BCCI review meeting over leaks. And this discussion from the review meeting too got leaked! The truth is there have always been leaks, and there will always be going forward. To blame a young player without evidence is wrong. To target someone like Sarfaraz Khan is utter nonsense. Just like targeting Sahil Malhotra’s family for getting the Jasprit Bumrah story wrong is disgusting. Sahil could have got the story wrong. His family had nothing to do with it. And there is not one journalist in the entire world who can claim to have got everything right. In such a case, he or she is not a journalist. Such a person is God and there are no Gods in journalism. When a story acquires a life of its own on Twitter or Instagram, like the Bumrah one, a public spectacle will inevitably follow. And it has in this case as well. That’s when things get out of control. It is for us all to realise that it is time to draw the line. I don’t really know Sahil well. In fact, I hardly know him. But I can tell him one thing – he will be more resilient after this incident. He will know that trolls don’t matter and it is all of little relevance in the end. Rather, he will do many more exclusives in the future and even if he gets a few wrong, that won’t matter to him. And trust me when I say this – the exclusives he or any of us do will always be based on some leak or the other!
