So like a critical component of understanding team green and Alicent’s motivation for pushing their claim is completely lost on this fandom because of the fact that it’s so irrelevant nowadays that we wouldn’t even consider it.
But like…for most of human history marriages, especially aristocratic marriages, were binding social contracts that were meant to provide benefits and incentives to both parties. The woman would perform her wifely duties of bearing heirs (sons), child rearing, emotional (and physical - sometimes against her will unfortunately) support, and generally running the household in domestic affairs. And in exchange for these labors and quite frankly difficult and at times harmful tasks the woman was provided with safety from the outside world, all her needs being taken care of, and her children being the heirs. And a woman’s son being the heir means consistent protection into her old age when her often much older husband eventually died.
There was a purpose to marriage outside of love and ambition. But because we are privileged enough to live in a more modern society where marriage is a personal contract for which the technicalities can be selected by both individuals to ensure security and happiness, we cannot really even consider that once upon a time in the not so distant past there was a clear purpose. The man got sons/heirs and the woman got sons/protectors to care for her in her old age.
So when Alicent pushes for her son she has a plethora of reasons: believing in tradition, protecting the lives of her children who have competing claims, consolidation of suffering, etc. But she has one very clear and very reasonable reason that nobody acknowledges. She delivered on her part of the bargain and contract and she wants to collect what she is owed. She produced the sons, she gave the emotional and physical support (against her genuine will), she reared the children, she ran the household domestically and the entire kingdom. She did “everything expected of her forever upholding the kingdom, the family, and the law”. And now it’s time for her to collect her dues now that her much, much older husband is dead. To have her son be king and to be taken care of into her old age.
That is the contract she agreed to. That is the contract almost every woman in history agreed to. I give you a son and I get comfort and security when you (the husband) die and my son becomes the heir.
So I can go on and on about the personal, psychological reasoning that Alicent has that are all perfectly valid. But I don’t have to because at the end of the day she did her part of this marital obligation and contract and she deserves to receive her rewards.

It uncouples land use from farming, freeing up space for conservation[… and] will help farmers concentrate on producing vegetables and crops sustainably.”
3. JCPenney Launches Apparel Collection Aimed At Wheelchair Users
Tumblr media
“A major department store is rolling out a new line of clothing specifically tailored to meet the needs of women who use wheelchairs featuring options for both everyday wear and special occasions.

7. How $7.3B will help rural co-ops build clean power—and close coal plants
Tumblr media

8. Native-led suicide prevention program focuses on building community strengths
Tumblr media
“[Indigenous researchers have] designed programs that aim to build up a community’s endemic strengths, rather than solely treating the risks facing individuals within that community.

After African missionaries circulated initial reports about the slave labor behind sugar in the 1790s, some consumers desisted from sugar entirely -- "anti-saccharites", mostly fervent Christians such as Quakers. As the East India importers created a market in Britain, anti-slavery societies became their free marketing teams, widely distributing pamphlets such as "What Does Your Sugar Cost?" A Cottage Conversation on the Subject of British Negro Slavery. Meanwhile, in America, the free-produce movement was led by black women, who encouraged their segregated groceries to buy only slavery-free goods.
The bind that free Black Americans faced in sourcing their food and raw materials was especially harsh. They were forced to buy "ethical" expensive cotton from white farmers instead of black slaves, which frustrated those trying to support black businesses. They sought coffee from Liberia and Haiti, hoping that the majority black demographics of these countries would support black uplift and prevent slave labor, and these created natural (and, indeed, slavery-free) coffee industries in those countries which indeed persisted for some decades.
The most surprising part of this story comes in the 1840s. After abolishing slavery in 1836, Britain had placed tariffs on slave-produced sugar in order to ensure fairness for British sugar producers who paid their laborers. This inflated sugar prices generally. Without tariffs, "free-labour sugar" would cost three times as much as its competition, defeating the East Indian importers' argument that slavery was a corrupt process which artificially inflated prices. It soon became clear that the writing was on the wall. In 1845, the primary importer of "free-labour sugar" exited the sugar market, and the following year, Britain decided to remove all the tariffs, for the benefit of consumers. Free-labour sugar completely vanished as a category thereafter.
Meanwhile in the United States, abolitionists criticized the free-produce movement as ineffective; similar to "free-labour sugar", it only placed an extra economic burden on those struggling to live ethically. It was recognized on both sides of the Atlantic that making individual consumer choices was not enough, and that systemic change was necessary to permanently eliminate slavery. As a status symbol, though, "free cotton made by escaped slaves" continued to be worn in Britain and attracted comment in aristocratic salons into the 1860s. In this final stage of the movement, free labor was considered to be part of a civilizing project, a way to train ex-slaves in useful arts.

Your post about how tb stans say alicent think women shouldn't rule
I wanted to add rhaenyra herself denied two eldest daughter right to rules and said " son before daughter " let her own illegitimate boys get baela and rhaena birthright and coryls choose kids that aren't even from his own blood over his own granddaughters
It's ironic how they ignore the amount of misogyny in team black
This is something that drives me a bit insane if I'm honest. Aka when people try to make this war ideological and it just isn't. Alicent thinks women can rule just fine. Rhaenyra also thinks women can rule just fine, (but most especially she believes it is her right to rule, as her father's chosen heir). But they also both recognise male primogenature, because ultimately neither of them have the individual power or need to do anything about it. On this issue their stances are pretty identical, bar Rhaenyra's one quibble with it that benefits her specifically.
Literally not one of these characters is making any of their decisions on the basis of their personal politics, its almost entirely about self-interest - who they support in their claim is only ever based in their own needs and wants and emotional attachments. Even Otto, who is so clearly using Rhaenyra's gender and the way that interacts with the laws of succession to undermine her, is not doing it for ideological reasons, or because he thinks women less capable of ruling (he does he's a raging misogynist but thats not his main incentive). He's doing it because he wants his grandson on the throne, for his own ends. If Alicent and Viserys had only had daughters, we all know Otto would still be claiming his granddaughters to be somehow more fit or entitled to rule than Rhaenyra.
Pretending like one side is pro misogyny and one side is anti misogyny makes no sense it's just an easy way to demonise the side you personally don't like when really picking a "side" in this conflict at all is so dumb for so many reasons I literally cannot begin to list them all.

So, a dd2 class guide (of all things) ended up bringing me to some really fascinating realizations when it comes to how Baldwin and Sarmenti are foils to each other, so of course I can't help but share it with you.
Short Version: Leper and Jester as characters contrast themselves in terms of personalities compared to skills. These seemingly in-built contradictions are the exact opposite of one another, which is likely why they synergize so well from both a narrative and game mechanics perspective. The makes them a duo of complimentarily contrasting contradictory characters. (yeah, try saying that five times fast)
Long Version: As we both know/adore about him, a key feature of Baldwin as a character is his selflessness, this key desire he has to help and serve others, while his own personal happiness instead comes from the simple joys of life. In his backstory he went out of his way to comfort his sick citizens, killed off his advisors to keep his kingdom safe before abdicating, and even now the reason he wants to die fighting is to help others succeed in their goals with all the skills he has available.
It's super interesting, then, to look at what said skills actually do - heal himself, mitigate his own inaccuracy, protect himself from shuffling via immobility - all things prioritizing self-reliance first and foremost. Out of his ten DD2 moves, only two can be said to have some level of 'party support' mixed in - Purge to clear corpses, and Intimidate to weaken enemies (and remove stealth when upgraded). And even they exist first and foremost to mitigate the blindspots in his own fighting style. Altogether, even as this seems to contradict his actual values as a person, it wouldn't be wrong to frame his entire kit as selfish in nature.
To put it another way, Baldwin personally goes out of his way to help others by prioritizing himself first.
Compare this, in turn, to Sarmenti - a character narratively defined by selfishness (eg; his desires, his ignited ambitions, his prolonged suffering, his current suicidal death wish, plus any other impulse or whim he has at any given moment). And yet, his skills are almost entirely support-focused, with even a lot of the damage-dealing ones being less about the damage and more about applying debuffs and combo tokens to the benefit of the team. It's such a selfless prioritization of others that he has barely anything left in his toolkit that focuses on either his own survivability or his damage-dealing capabilities. (His main exception being Finale, which one could still argue is selfless in how it leaves him immediately vulnerable and slow after he's likely nuked an enemy from any possible rank - meaning the ideal is for other people to take advantage of this.)
As such, Sarmenti's selfish desires and goals lead him to greatly prioritizing the group's benefit over himself as an individual.
And it's this nature as foils, this reversal/mirroring of each other's innate contradictory natures, that make Jester and Leper such a complementary duo both in terms of personality and combat synergy.
idk, that's just how I came to look at 'em in my pretentious academic perspective on the ship, lol. you got any thoughts brought up by it??
oh man, this is such a fantastic analysis, i feel like there's nothing more i really need to add! i do have some thoughts though:
looking at this and thinking about it, yeah isn't it just a bit odd that the selfless Leper barely aids his team, and if anything eats up a lot of the resources they put out? man eats combos like he needs them to live because he kinda does. but oh man, if you take care of Leper he will take care of you tenfold. he rewards selflessness with his strength.
i think his skills could also be viewed not as entirely selfish, but as self-reliant. gently turning down Vestal, Occultist, Plague Doctor's, any sort of healing and simply fortifying himself, allowing them to heal someone not as strong as him or attack with their own skills. using Purge to both strike down a foe and clear corpses so someone else doesn't have to nor can their enemies take advantage of it. let him weaken a foe and draw their ire with Intimidate, he has the strength to take it.
and Jester is such a fun contrast to think about, his top-tier supportive skills vs his snarky and biting personality. all that setting up and dancing he does, the grand orchestra he plays, why doesn't he make himself the star? i think he'd insist it's because he's a twig in a clown costume, why should he be drawing the enemy formation's attention? the faster the warm bodies between him and those bastards cut said bastards down, the better. hence, a selfless skillset for selfish reasons. there is probably some element of fun/humor to it, too. man's Silly.
and together, they work perfectly in sync. Jester wants those bastards dead before they hit him, Leper will smite them out of existence if given the opportunity. Jester will give him those opportunities, Leper will strike down their enemies. also they kiss. nature is beautiful.

Anbu & Root
 Analysis
Both of these groups work in the shadows
  (I’m not using the novels)
Anbu
Tumblr media
are covert operatives of capable ninja that are dispatched by their village kage. There are apparently no ranks within the Anbu; team leadership and hierarchy seem to be based on merit and experience. The leaders of the teams are called squad leaders, a position held in high regard.(This mostly goes for konoha’s anbu)
Because Anbu are so vital to the village's operations, they cannot be arrested by the police without a warrant. ch222
Root
Root carried out missions that Danzō believed would benefit Konoha. Because of its core views as "the unseen ones who support the great tree of Konoha from the depths of the earth" ch 285
Tumblr media
some of these missions were less respectable, such as eliminating individuals that were considered potential threats simply for their hatred for Konoha, despite not actually having done anything against the village. The organisation's top priority was its secrecy, and most of its missions were carried out in the dark of Konoha's authority. Root was officially disbanded after the Uchiha Clan Downfall due to Danzō spearheading the tragedy.ch284
Tumblr media
 remained active as an underground organisation until Danzō's death. Despite Third's orders to disband the group, the members remained loyal to Danzō, his orders being the highest priority over even the Hokage's. Danzō's death, Sai suggested its members look to Kakashi for guidance since Kakashi, at the time, was slated to become Hokage.ch488
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Root was strict and secretive group, the organisation had a cursed seal imprinted on the back of their tongues by Danzō when activated, would paralyse their entire body if they tried to speak anything about Danzō or the organisation, rendering them unable to speak or move. Sai noted that this was done in an effort to prevent an info leak should any of them be captured and interrogated by enemy forces.ch452 The seal disappeared after Danzō's death ch488
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Danzō had also trained its members to lose their emotions by growing up as brothers from a young age, only to later be made to kill each other. ch303
Tumblr media
Another specialty of the organisation was slow, long-term brainwashing. In the case of one of their members, Nonō Yakushi, she was brainwashed through a series of pictures starting with photographs of Kabuto one of her former wards at orphanage showing him growing up. Root slowly switched the person in the photographs entirely and then gave Nonō the order to kill the actual Kabuto.Resulting in Nonō not recognising Kabuto in their final moments. ch584
Tumblr media
Extra:
Tumblr media
 Kirigakure, there is a subdivision of Anbu known as hunter-nin: hunter-nin track down and kill missing-nin from Kiri, bringing the head as proof and disposing of the rest of the body so as to not leave behind any info for their enemies.  
Due to the village's high number of missing-nin
ch 15/16 (Three times were  we seen kiri Anbu is haku as a fake hunter nin Ao mizukage bodyguard. Then there’s the situation with Rin and Kakashi 3 tails incident.)

Freight Consolidation Services by Everfast Freight: The Key to Cost-Effective Shipping
In today’s fast-paced global market, businesses need shipping solutions that are both cost-effective and efficient. Everfast Freight is a leader in freight consolidation services in India, helping companies save on shipping costs without compromising on reliability and speed. By combining smaller shipments into a single, consolidated load, Everfast Freight makes it easy for businesses to streamline their supply chain and reduce logistics expenses.
What is Freight Consolidation? Freight consolidation is a logistics strategy where multiple smaller shipments are grouped into one larger shipment. This approach benefits businesses that may not need full container loads (FCL) but still require reliable shipping for smaller consignments. Everfast Freight specializes in freight consolidation services, allowing businesses to share space within a container and pay only for the space they need. This means that clients benefit from reduced shipping costs, faster deliveries, and optimized storage.
Benefits of Freight Consolidation Services by Everfast Freight Cost Savings One of the main reasons businesses choose freight consolidation is to reduce costs. Instead of paying for an entire container, clients only pay for the space their cargo occupies. Everfast Freight ensures that each shipment is carefully managed to maximize container usage, offering clients the most economical solution.
Increased Efficiency By consolidating multiple shipments into one, Everfast Freight reduces handling and transit times. This streamlined process allows goods to reach their destination faster, improving efficiency across the supply chain.
Reduced Risk of Damage Shipping smaller packages individually increases the risk of damage. With freight consolidation, goods are packed securely in fewer containers, minimizing handling and the chance of damage during transit.
Eco-Friendly Shipping Consolidated shipping reduces the number of containers in transit, leading to lower emissions. This eco-friendly approach not only benefits the environment but also aligns with the sustainability goals of many companies.
End-to-End Tracking Everfast Freight provides comprehensive tracking services for consolidated shipments, allowing clients to monitor their goods every step of the way. This visibility ensures that businesses stay informed and prepared for delivery, enhancing overall customer satisfaction.

What is it about Jaune that makes you like him? /gen
i know a lot of what im about to say can be boiled down to "hes miles self-insert" but like. as a certified Miles-Hater thats so dumb to judge a writers fav character (i dont think jaune is even miles character) or the character they heavily base around their own experiences on the feelings you have for the writer. many MANY writers far better than miles luna have based characters on themselves-- which is what jaune is btw a self-insert/mary-sue is ENTIRELY different-- anyways
you see, something that made weiss and pyrrha (and somewhat blake) in vol 1-3 many peoples fav characters, including me, was that they had functional character arcs. pyrrhas was far more deep and interesting than weiss' (bc the writers were scared to actually tackling unlearning racism) but functionally: weiss started off as an uppity racist bitch that was entitled and self-important, and by the end of vol 3 she had not only learned to summon, but also did it in protection of a faunus-- regardless of the quality of writing, this was a perfectly acceptable story arc during vol1-3 era that made weiss a standout. pyrrha went from a sort of empty mentor shell character to somebody that the audience understood to struggle with her identity, her destiny, her talents and lack of agency, coupled with this idea that she might be forever changed should she take on the burden of her destiny... and then she kissed jaune and took on cinder solo (meaning that if she was rescued [meaning she escapes the stigma of being the unbeatable girl, thus escaping her destiny] or somehow won, she could return to jaune [thus gaining the joy she was always afraid she would never have] OR she would die [again, escaping her destiny]
you see, people LIKE character development and that is in woeful short supply in RWBY. but jaune is constantly changing, while other characters remain static for massive bouts of time (ren, weiss, yang) or repeat the same character arcs again and again (ruby, nora) and while hes changing, its always for the benefit of others
jaune starts off as a doofus cringelord that throws up on the ship to beacon. hes a liar, getting his hands on fake transcripts (ive always wanted to know how the hell he did that), hes a poor student (like everyone else tbf) and he struggles to fight. hes unprepared, and he struggles with leadership, like ruby! where ruby had to deal with internal team struggles (blake v weiss and weiss v ruby), jaune struggles with external factors (his own backstory and cardins bullying)
ive seen Certain Individuals say they hate jaune because hes mean to pyrrha when she offered to help him but like. isnt that the point of character arcs and development? jaune started off as thinking he had to shoulder the burden of what cardin was doing to him (which btw was physically bullying and mental exhaustion, he was doing the burden of five people and in the meantime was being physically harmed) as well as the guilt of his own backstory (failing to live up to a huntsman legacy [which GOD why havent they come back to this at all] and his lies.) and by the end of it, off the advice of ruby, he fights back to protect his team and DEVELOPS into someone that willingly and genuinely apologizes to pyrrha and asks if she would still be okay with training him. its genuinely good development for both of them!
jaune continues to change post pyrrha. he honors her by incorporating her armor into his own, carrying her silently alongside them, while also keeping up his training because he knows that the best way to honor pyrrha is to keep up the fight, to protect their friends, to make sure she didnt die in vain. hes ALWAYS supported ruby from the very beginning, following her, supporting his teammates
im not going to pretend jaunes flawless or faultless. especially in vol 4-6 where a LOOOOOOOT of writing flaws and character issues crop up for me, in all characters including jaune. i hate the way they all blame Oz/Oscar, i hate his stupid plan to steal an atlas airship (cordovin literally offered to escort weiss just have her claim oscar as a servant boy and have qrow go along as her pet bird, have her go to atlas with oscar and qrow with the lamp and then ironwood would have given cordo orders to have everyone else shipped out GOD), i hate the way they all just SIT AROUND at haven, i hate the way they all act like qrow turning into a bird is some fucked up thing, yadda yadda yadda. the fight at haven is bad and ugly and he (like everyone) fights like an absolute ding dong but OUGH his semblance...
listen one thing about me? i love paladins. love healers. im a support main, i play clerics and bards, i LOVE paladins. theres something really great to me that his aura was set up from the very beginning as something he had a lot of and now his semblance is literally giving that away to his friends, literally giving his SOUL to others to heal and boost and protect. that's genuinely so beautiful to me. its not only a wonderful semblance that has really good utility and synergy (regardless that he only seems to use it with ren) but its wonderful that it heals, because thats the first thing he found out aura can actually do; pyrrha unlocked his aura to HEAL him. and he struggled for so long with the fact that he couldnt help pyrrha because he didnt know how but now? his literal super power is to help others. (i mean. not that the writers use it to great effect but still. the potential is there)
and then the atlas arc starts and man this is some of my favorite jaune era because a lot of what i like is background details! i ADORE his friendship with marrow, i truly wish more characters got to make friends with the characters in atlas (give me blake/neon NOW!!!!!!!!! give me weiss/flynt NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! double date!!!!!!!!) guard dogs is literally one of my top five ships (i also adore marrow to death and back so its a no brainer) i like that he actually steps up to do huntsmanning work that isnt glorious or battling, even if at first hes a little disappointed and then!!! it literally comes back around in the finale episodes!!!! it showed that even seemingly silly tasks like escorting kindergarteners to school and back can be utilized in the right situation, bc hunting in atlas isnt just about fighting monsters, its about taking care of the people, from evacuation procedures to literally escorting children. i loved it and it felt really satisfying to watch (even if it did make me judge literally everyone else like what now suddenly you dont care about the civilians in mantle?)
and also, this entire time, its been wonderful to see jaune slowly build up his arsenal and his fighting skills. ill admit, some of my fondness from jaune comes from my own headcanons regarding his legacy and such but tbh the fact that only some of my enjoyment comes from my headcanons and not literally all my enjoyment (like most characters) is an improvement. but also, its just ingrained in my media to want to root for the underdog, the clumsy bad fighter that gets cooler and cooler, thats the appeal of the literal Heroes Journey (sora, noctis, link, jaune; all swordfighters, all either knight/royalty coded, all went on the heroes journey, all some of my favorite characters... coincidence? i think not!)
im not really going to speak on vol9 too much because its a lot and its unfinished rn and i dont know how this series arc is going to end for him so i cant make an informed sort of conclusion but i think hes very in character as a naturally continuation of his character before the time in the EA that was put through the Horrors for a couple dozen years. it makes my heart Ache
anyways this was already a lot. basically, i like jaune because he feels like a genuine paladin and feels like what a huntsman should be like. one of my biggest complaint that is specific to him and not a series wide issue with writing is i wish his designs were better? im loving the rusted knight look with the full armor and the longer hair and i hope that he keeps the ponytail (if he survived vol9). hes a genuinely good friend who ive never questioned whether he actually would be a good huntsman (as ive questioned with literally everyone else of the main cast except ruby) or if he even wants to be there at all! he has his own motivations to be in this fight beyond just following ruby and he actively gets better throughout the show (unlike rwby, who all started off goated and then have had to be nerfed through the show). i think he had a lot of potential that was wasted but i think hes genuinely one of the better characters we've gotten as a main staple of the show and hes been there since the beginning!
i hope this answered your question! i could literally go on for hours (it took me an hour to respond to this alone) so if you have specific scenarios you want me to break down i can totally gush about jaune, or my headcanons (for example i have a hc that he has a drag persona named Matre Domme, a play on matyrdom (bc joan of arc) as well as being french for Master Domme bc of course jaunes experience with feminity and what he would explore through drag is rooted in strong dominate women)

REQUEST. : 🧁-5’8” cis girl, blonde hair, blue eyes, from the middle of nowhere. I’m a three sport athlete(track, Basketball, Volleyball), but also love reading and puzzles. I’m not much of a morning person, animals, am mostly social with those I know well, when I have to energy to give. I love dirt roads, supporting teammates, friends, other contact sports(football, soccer), and blaring music, but also rain and mellow nights at home. I riden horses(western style), roped and worked cattle all my life. I tend to lean toward chaotic, but organization P.S- even though I’ve only just found your account, I love your writing, and you seem like an amazing person �� @cychurro
that’s so sweet of you to say! thank you for enjoying my writing and for thinking highly of me, i’ll continue to do my best and honour your words well ٩( ^ᴗ^ )۶
and from what you’ve described to me, i ship you with James Potter! for the sake of this scenario, you’re in gryffindor ;) 
i. since you’re quite athletic, you naturally make it onto the quidditch team but since you’re not an early morning person, you get to quidditch practice just in time (nearly almost late) and grumpy, which rubs james the wrong way, especially because he’s all about team spirit and putting your best foot forward for the time. seeing your behaviour was not, in his eyes, you putting your best foot forward for the team. nevertheless, he couldn’t deny that you were a good player, although, this made his tongue charper with you than with any other individual so the two of you quickly grew a rivalry on the pitch. this rivalry, somewhat, benefitted the team however, as you’d both compete with each other to score the most goals without abdicating the team’s overall performance in matches, especially official ones. 
ii. eventually, james became captain and that was the start of torture for you. you had competed against him for the position but ultimately, lost. james made for a good captain, however, it just didn’t help that he was extra hard on you for your usual slowness in the morning. you’ve heard some of your teammates vouch for your dislike for early mornings but james is strict on the schedule, eager to play all the matches well and win the end of year cup. he knows and can see your potential so it was infuriating to him that you would let such potential go to waste. after some time, however, he slowly began admitting to himself that he had grown fond of your grumpy morning attitude and sleepy appearance, it’s quite an adorable look on you…
iii. when its the weekend, you’ve become quite famous for blasting music in your dorm room for most parts of the day when you didn’t have the energy to interact with other people but did have the energy to listen to all of your favourite songs on repeat. sometimes, james, as head boy, has had to ask you to turn down the music but, for the most part, many of the gryffindor students enjoyed your music in the background and have grown a liking to most of your songs. 
iv. on one particular official match against ravenclaw, you managed to get a nasty hit by a bludger and needed to be tended in the hospital wing. james wanted to take you there himself but you pushed him to carry the team to victory and have someone else sub in for you. it took some convincing but james finally relented, “I promise we’ll win this for you, okay?” james promised with determined eyes and a fixed stare on you. you’d be lying if you said it didn’t make your heart flutter. “i’ll be cheering for you captain,” you say good naturedly before being escorted away. needless to say, gryffindor won against ravenclaw by a landslide that day and you couldn’t be prouder. when the gryffindor after party celebration was being held in the common room, james was nowhere to be found; he was at your bedside the entire time. 
v. gradually, you and james started talking outside of quidditch and you introduce him to all the muggle sports you enjoy and love. you explain the rules to him and smile at the fascination the swells in his eyes. so it was only natural that you invite james over for the summer to indulge in all your favourite sports, whether it’s by playing it together or watching games at a stadium. You’ve even worked him through a day’s work on the farm, herding cattle and getting used to the horses so that he could go horse riding with you. As a quidditch player, he was a natural and he quickly grew to love horse riding on the dirt paths around the farm land with you. it was a very eventful summer. one that started with lots of learning, was filled with adventures and fond memories before ending in a sweet, spontaneous kiss under the cool evening summer sun, setting behind the horizon. 
vi. back in school again, you and james continue the routine of back and forth in the early morning chill of quidditch practice but there has been a noticeable shift in the tone of your comebacks. the team thought you two were acting odd but the usual light bickering escalated into a kiss that wasn’t expected and their suspicions were immediately confirmed. “It’s about time!” one teammate calls out as the others whistle with amused brows. “Sod off before I give you extra laps!” james shouts back, earning a belly of laughter before it was back on the pitch for drills and practising manoeuvres. 
vii. honourable mention, i also, lowkey ship you with remus lupin. it’s your shared love for reading and puzzles that bring you together first before remus grows a love for the outdoors and several sports under your influence. you also introduce him to horse-back riding and he adores it. he adores it even more when you two aren’t playfully racing around and merely taking the horses for a walk in the wilderness with a picnic packed away and books for you two to read together on a picnic in the forest where there’s a sunny spot.

buddie as running partners...buddie as RUNNING PARTNERS...!!! (does that make the 118/firefam an entire cross country team? coach!bobby? athletic trainer!maddie? idk, idk how cross country teams work.) nonetheless...say more.... <3333
here's a lil overview real quick so y'all can pick up what I put down: cross country teams are all different, and can even be formed by a community group instead of a traditional "school that competes in the individual districts," but the basic layout is coach/trainer, assistant coaches if necessary, and the athletes who actually compete. some teams have a team captain appointed from the ranks of athletes, and the captain's specific duties/responsibilities varies from team to team but essentially they're like.....the assistant assistant coach. they watch out for the team and are the unofficial leader if the coach isn't around. teams compete at meets (races) against other teams; the amount of teams at meets really just depends on what the race is for/who organized it. smaller meets can have 2-5 teams, but the big regional meets can have hundreds. in official competitions like regionals, scores are done for both individual runners and overall teams. if an individual runner finishes in the top 10 or 15 runners, he'll place as an individual, but if the overall team score beats other team scores, then the whole TEAM will also place. the scoring system is based on what place a runner gets. 1st place gets one point, 2nd gets 2 points, 3rd gets 3 points, and so on, all the way down the line to the very last runner who comes in. to get team results, the whole team's scores are added up, and the team with the lowest combined score wins. the more runners that finish higher up in the race, the lower the overall score.
I think ideally bobby would be their coach, and the whole 118 would be a cross-country team. I like the idea of maddie joining their team after running (ha) from doug and I also like the idea of hen being the team captain :] interim captain hen my BELOVED!!!!!!!!!!!
I think for spice <3 the 126 as a separate team that they compete with. they have dual meets a LOT (which is a cross country race with only two teams. there's no pressure to compete for times or positions at the bigger, more important races, and they're sooooooo fun. every time I've done a dual meet we always hung out with the other team afterward at a lake or restaurant and it was sooo <333) so the 126 and 118 are still Competing in the sense that they're gunning for the same positions in the regional/national races, but it's a very friendly competition because the teams are very close. no hard feelings if one team wins over the other, because they're all good friends and they're super supportive of the other team because it's a great accomplishment for them. judd is the coach <3 not owen <3
and onto BUDDIE <3 the thing about a running partner is like. they're your constant. sure, you've got the team, but your running partner is like your other half. someone with a similar pace as you. you train with them, you compete with them, and it gets to the point where you don't even need to use words because you know each other better than anyone else. racing isn't just a physically exhausting sport, because there's a HUGE mental factor in it as well. there's lots of strategies and techniques, and every aspect of the course is broken down into how it can make you faster, even the surfaces you run on (grass, concrete, pavement, etc. each one has different benefits and disadvantages), or how you run around a corner. each tiny aspect can shave seconds off your time, and that can be the difference between first and second place. and as a running partner, buck and eddie both know what the other person prefers. they know the precise way the other will run a hill, or jump a log, or take a sharp turn. during training they laugh and joke and have a great time but during races they're a force. there's certain maneuvers two running partners can do around a turn or up a hill to be mutually beneficial, and they do them without even thinking or communicating that they're about to do it. they just know.
and there's also just !! the intimacy of it !!! after running with the same people for so long, you get to the point where if your teammates were lost in a cluster of running people all wearing the same t shirt, you'd be able to pick them out from the crowd just by the very specific and unique way they hold themselves while they're running, even if they're all the way across the course. each person has their own unique "style," and the entire team can pick each other out from a group of 50 other runners just by looking. another aspect is after the race is over !! collapsing at the finish line isn't just common, it's almost expected. and more often than not you'll see teammates who just finished a race together holding each other up or kneeling to untie each other's shoes to get the timing chip.
the 118 team is comprised of hen, chim, buck, eddie, and maddie. the order in which they finish changes up every race, but generally, in order from fastest to slowest, it's chim, buck+eddie, maddie, and hen. bobby and athena are the coaches, so they don't actually compete unless it's for a "coach's race" that some meets have after the actual races are finished, just for fun. when they do race, athena usually finishes ahead of bobby.
the 126 team is comprised of tk, marjan, mateo, paul, nancy, and tim. generally, it goes tk, marjan+paul (running partners), mateo, and nancy+tim (also running partners). judd is the coach, and carlos cheers his boyfriend on from the sidelines :]
my last and final thought is that <3 they have pasta parties before big meets <3 basically the whole team meets up at someone's house and they all eat pasta and bread <33 carbloading AND teambuilding at the same time :]

Four Trends Affecting Flexible Workspaces in the Future
Imagine having to decide between a standard cubicle that is overflowing with miscellaneous items and a well-designed workspace that provides a seamless work experience. The decision is clear: the majority of professionals would go with option number one. The qualities and advantages of contemporary workplace spaces are irresistible. popularity of flexible workspaces. are becoming more and more popular due in large part to the need for a completely functional and aesthetically pleasing setting. Professionals looking for a distraction-free work environment and an alternative to typical offices would love these shared office spaces.
How did the concept of flexible workspaces develop?
The main reasons for the development of modern office space are technological advancements, economic shifts, and globalization. Initially, these workspaces were the cost-effective alternative for writers, small businesses, and freelancers. By passing years, technological advancements led to the creation of shared office environments where individuals could work independently while enjoying the benefits of a community. Hackerspace, the first known shared office space, was established in Berlin in 1995. This concept gained traction in the late 2000s, and since then, there has been no looking back.
Today, modern office spaces serve all the needs of the workforce — comfortable workplaces, flexibility, and contemporary amenities as per the specific needs of professionals and businesses. The rate at which the popularity of shared office spaces is increasing, and it may keep evolving with time to support collaboration across different industries.
How Flexible WorkSpaces Are Transforming the Future of Work
Coworking spaces offer a zestful and collaborative environment. These features help employers retain employees and help employees work efficiently. All these benefits and features cater to the evolving needs of today’s workforce.
Here are 4 Trends That Are Shaping the Future of Flexible Workspaces:
The world of work is constantly growing, and flexible office spaces are an integral part of this transformation. In this world of work, businesses and employees are revamping their ways of working. To foster this evolution, several emerging trends are redefining what office spaces look like and how they function. Here are four key trends shaping the future of flexible workspaces:
Hybrid Work Models
During lockdown, staying at home and working for safety was necessary. Over time, people adapted to this work setting and found WFH convenient. After the lockdown, most of the workforce demanded WFH, but employers were not entirely convenient, so hybrid work models benefit both parties. The hybrid work model combines remote work and on-site work and is becoming increasingly popular. This approach allows employees to enjoy the benefits of both worlds: the convenience and flexibility of working from home and the office’s collaborative environment.
How it impacted workspaces:
Work-Life Balance: The hybrid model is ideal for employers and employees to maintain work-life balance and work efficiency. It is a crucial factor for employee retention and satisfaction at the workplace.
Tech-driven workspace: Advanced technology solutions, such as video conferencing facilities and collaborative software, are essential to support seamless communication between remote and on-site teams.
Redefining Design: Shared office spaces are more adaptive and flexible, so they can accommodate both remote and in-office workers.
Tech-Driven Office Solutions
Life without technology is next to impossible these days, and so is work. Technological advancements are the major reasons for the evolution of flexible office spaces. From biometric authentication to AI-driven functionalities, everything is the outcome of technology integration.
How it impacted workspaces:
Smart Offices: Integrating smart office solutions such as access control, climate control, and emergency alarms creates a comfortable and convenient environment, and who doesn’t like comfort?
Automation: Automated systems for repetitive tasks, integration of automated coffee machines, access management, and analytics and reporting improve the work experience.
Virtual-Office Tools: Advanced tools and subscriptions to the virtual platforms help to work seamlessly virtually.
Health and Wellness Focus
The recent COVID pandemic enlightened the human race about the importance of health. People now understand that if you lose wealth, you lose something, but if you lose health, you lose everything.
How it impacted workspaces:
Wellness Sessions: Many coworking spaces arrange on-site yoga sessions, mental health support, and professional growth seminars to promote overall well-being.
Open Office Layout: These kinds of office spaces are designed with an open layout and are regularly sanitized, unlike traditional, closely spaced workspaces.
Biophillic Interior: Integrating indoor plants, a strategically located natural light source and lively colors transform the boring workplace into a creative work hub.
Community and Networking Opportunities
How it impacted workspaces:
Expert Seminars: Many coworking spaces organize workshops, social gatherings, and seminars for professionals to help them enhance their skills and grow careers.
Like-minded Peers: In coworking spaces, people from different industries come to work so you can meet new people from various industries every day. Interaction with them helps you grow the horizon of your knowledge and grow your professional network.
Collaborative Spaces: Different areas in coworking spaces, such as cafeterias, kitchen areas, lounges, and play zones, encourage spontaneous interaction among members and help form new connections.
In Conclusion: These modern-day trends of lavish office space are shaping the future of modern office spaces. These trends contribute highly to creating flexible, adaptive, efficient, and user-friendly work environments. With the changing work landscape, contemporary office spaces will play a crucial role in supporting the evolving needs of the workforce across different industries. Flexible workspaces offer comfort and help employees stay productive while working. By following the above trends, workspace providers can remain competent and relevant in this continuously evolving world of modern office spaces.

BIM and GIS Integration: Transforming the Built Environment with Smart Technology
In the contemporary generation of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), the BIM and GIS integration is a transformative shift this is converting the manner initiatives are deliberate, designed, and controlled. Individually, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are effective equipment, but when blended, they invent a complete, facts-pushed technique to tackling some of the most complicated demanding situations inside the constructed surroundings.
What is BIM and GIS?
BIM: A virtual representation of bodily and practical characteristics of places. It serves as a shared understanding supply for information approximately a facility or infrastructure.
GIS: A gadget designed to seize, shop, control, analyse, manipulate, and gift all varieties of geographical facts.
Tumblr media
Why BIM and GIS Integration Matters
Combining the spatial power of GIS with the targeted, version-based technique of BIM creates a seamless workflow that benefits the complete lifecycle of an undertaking. Here are a few key motives why BIM and GIS integration is so treasured:
1. A Holistic View of Projects
One of the most considerable blessings of BIM and GIS integration is the capacity to mix the micro-level details of character buildings and infrastructure with the macro-degree geographical context. For example, GIS can offer topographical data, zoning records, or environmental issues about a creation web site, at the same time as BIM can offer precise constructing designs, creation timelines, and material specs. Together, those insights supply stakeholders a more entire information of a challenge’s challenges and possibilities.
2. Better Decision-Making and Planning
The mixture of BIM’s shrewd three-D fashions and GIS’s spatial statistics permits teams to make more knowledgeable decisions early within the layout procedure. Urban planners and architects can examine how distinctive design alternatives will perform inside their environmental context, which includes influences on visitors’ patterns, air exceptional, or water drainage. Integrating GIS allows for simulations that predict how a constructing or infrastructure mission will have interaction with the encircling landscape, supporting mitigate risks and optimize designs.
3. Improved Collaboration Across Disciplines
By integrating BIM and GIS, a couple of stakeholders, inclusive of engineers, architects, planners, and neighbourhood authorities’ officials, can paintings in the same virtual surroundings, improving verbal exchange and lowering silos. This go-disciplinary collaboration ensures that each one stakeholder is aligned with the challenge’s desires, minimizing costly errors and enhancing the performance of the entire challenge lifecycle.
4. Enhanced Sustainability and Resilience
The integration of BIM and GIS plays a pivotal position in developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure. By utilising GIS information, inclusive of weather statistics, flood zones, and topography, design teams can version how buildings and infrastructure will have interaction with the surroundings below special situations. BIM can simulate building performance, strength performance, and materials, permitting extra sustainable design selections and helping create systems that are both power-efficient and resilient to herbal disasters.
5. Streamlined Asset Management and Maintenance
Once a venture is completed, the BIM and GIS integration continues to add cost with the aid of helping lengthy-term asset control. GIS gives the spatial facts required to music and manipulate bodily belongings (e.g. utilities, roads, bridges, and so forth.), whilst BIM offers a detailed inventory of those belongings, consisting of substances, situations, and preservation schedules. Together, they permit facility managers and municipalities to music the lifecycle of infrastructure, plan upkeep, and optimize sources correctly.
Practical Applications of BIM and GIS Integration
The integration of BIM and GIS is already having a tremendous effect across diverse industries. Let’s discover a few realistic examples:
1. Urban Planning and Smart Cities
Urban planners use the combination of BIM and GIS to design smarter towns. By combining GIS’s designated mapping of terrain, zoning legal guidelines, and environmental conditions with BIM’s building designs, planners can create urban landscapes which are green, sustainable, and liveable. This integration allows simulations to assess how new developments will impact site visitors, get entry to public services, and environmental factors like air first-class and noise pollutants.
For instance, a city planning office would possibly use GIS facts to recognize flood zones, then use BIM to design flood-resistant homes and infrastructure. This facilitates create city spaces which can be resilient to weather exchange and herbal disasters.
2. Transportation Infrastructure Projects
For big-scale transportation projects, along with highways, rail structures, or airports, the combination of BIM and GIS can considerably improve task planning and execution. GIS can provide critical geographical information, together with topography, land use, and populace density, whilst BIM can model precise infrastructure elements like roads, bridges, tunnels, and stations. Together, they invent designated mission simulations that allow stakeholders to evaluate the impacts on local visitors, land utilization, and the surroundings.
3. Environmental Impact Assessments
In environmentally touchy regions, BIM and GIS integration helps determine the impact of production projects on nearby ecosystems. For instance, GIS can assist examine how a new development might also affect wetlands, natural world habitats, or water structures. BIM can then be used to design homes and infrastructure that decrease environmental impact, ensuring compliance with environmental guidelines and sustainability dreams.
4. Disaster Management and Resilience
When disaster moves, having included BIM and GIS records permits emergency responders and town planners to evaluate the harm, coordinate healing efforts, and plan for future resilience. For example, inside the aftermath of an earthquake or flood, GIS information can show the volume of the damage, at the same time as BIM information can provide precise information of building structures, supporting responders perceive which regions are maximum at threat or want on the spot interest.
Conclusion: A Future of Possibilities
The integration of BIM and GIS is poised to revolutionize the way we technique the layout, construction, and control of infrastructure. From advanced choice-making and collaboration to more advantageous sustainability and resilience, the mixed strength of these technologies gives countless opportunities for the constructed surroundings.
As the AEC industry keeps to include virtual transformation, the seamless integration of BIM and GIS will certainly be a cornerstone of extra green, records-driven, and sustainable initiatives. Whether it’s optimizing city planning, dealing with infrastructure assets, or designing resilient homes, the future is vivid for professionals who harness the total potential of BIM and GIS together.
Embracing this integration these days will set the muse for smarter, greater sustainable groups tomorrow.
