The ™ Files

Already a bit ago I was checking for some updates in the trademark files, I just didn't get to write about it. So let's see what's going on at the trademarks.

Some updates

Of course The Sassenach in the class for alcoholic beverages was already filed and registered years back. But there are some updates on it. Not all that exciting though it might depend on the country you live in and how much you're eager to get it.

Since October 2024 the trademark is approved and the brand protected in Australia. So, I don't know if they already found a distributor other than the 'smuggler'. But the smuggler most likely can retire soon, and perhaps some 'sassy' events are in the works in the (near) future for the Aussie fans... 🤷‍♀️

Brazil has been filed as well, but is awaiting decision,

No changes for the European Market (EM). Germany as we know has filed opposition succesfully, which means the brand is not protected in the EM as a whole. For the other EU countries protection of the brand is individually granted though. (which means technically they can sell it in other EU countries but need to protect their brand in every country separately as it can not be protected under the flag of the EUIPO).

Something New

Remember his story after Beyonce launched her ow whisky brand?

Jokingly? Hmm or maybe not so jokingly! Clearly someone got the task consulting the attorney about it. Now you can not trademark a bottle (of course) and we all know how 'his' design wasn't that original to begin with. But the smart attorney came up with a satisfying solution by filing a Logo Mark for the bottle.... 🤭

Filed just a couple of weeks after his sarcastic story and awaiting to be assigned to an examiner.

Beyonce's attorneys wont lose a second sleep over it though, it's only a logo and not the bottle design itself that has been filed for a trademark. Now if they were to print T-shirts or caps with that drawing...

Although the logo has been filed in class 33 (alcoholic beverages, except beer) so not even in the class for clothing!^^

More Brewing

Talking about beer! That was actually the trademark I was more curious about and made me look up what was going on.... and that one made me scratch my head a couple of times (and chuckle as well)

Remember this post where I informed you about the filing of the SS trademark in the class 'Beer', while the trademark they already had in that class (but combined with the class for travelguides) was abandoned.

Also note the Serial Number: 88244818 (read on to learn why)

Now the status for the new trademark filed on 20 Feb 2024 (this date is important) in the class beer... see for yourself:

The trademark has the status 'On hold'. Which means there is an issue that ceases further actions by the office and needs to be resolved first.

So time to investigate the issue at hand! Which can be found in the suspension letter received by the owner (and listed in the documents of the USPTO). It told me that:

USPTO database searched; prior-filed potentially conflicting pending application(s) found. The trademark examining attorney searched the USPTO database of registered and pending marks and found no conflicting registered marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02. However, a mark(s) in a prior-filed pending application(s) may bar registration of applicant's mark.

And the mark that was filed prior that may bar registration is:

Right a registration filed by the Angry Scotsman Brewing on 29 May 2020 - 3 months after GGC filed their registration for the mark in the class Beer (serial number 88244818) and therefor the status for the Angry Scotsman's mark got rightfully on hold! Even though the Angry Scotsman opposed the decision (there has been correspondence going on between this applicant and the examiner) at the end the Angry Scotsman's application was put on hold and checked periodically.

Reason for their suspension was the 'prior filing by the application with serial No. 88244818. But as we now know, that application was abandoned since March 18, 2024. GGC filed a new mark in the class beer.... which is now on hold because.... right, the Angry Scotsman's application was filed prior than the new application of GGC....

Do you see why it made me scratch my head? If GGC had not abandoned their mark, there would have been no issue. But as they already reached the maximum extensions for submitting the Statement of Use, I figure they had no other option here.

What makes me wonder now is how this will end, as both applications seems to be stuck in an impasse. The last suspension check for the Angry Scotsman's mark is listed on February 1, 2024, a month before the trademark of GGC was abandoned. So theoretically it should be not be in the way for their mark anymore, though I think there might still be an issue of likelihood of confusion even though the original trademark The Sassenach owned by GGC now isn't filed in the class for beer, only the new one that is filed after the Angry Scotsman's mark.

Note that a mark with the status 'On Hold' is not a refusal for the mark. It means the mark is pending as the office will not proceed until the issue at hand is resolved. In fact it is even recommended to use the trademark while it is pending, as this helps trademark owners demonstrate commercial use of the mark and helps solidify their rights to it.

Which is exactly what the Angry Scotsman Brewing did, and demonstrated to the USTPO as evidence.

source

Though visiting their website I don't see the Sassenach Beer listed anymore nor does it come up in a search on their website.

To be continued I guess? I will keep an eye on it.

Anyway, to be complete, the mark was filed in Europe and Australia as well in the beer class. In Europe all countries except Germany protection is granted. Germany (and with that the EM) is 'Provisionally Refused'. Which means, there is still time to oppose the decision, but imo it will go the same way as the mark registered in the alcoholic beverages class. Australia granted protection though.

To top it all off, while searching things you always stumble on other things, right! Did you know there is already a Sassenach Beer?

Yes, there is. It's a company from Argentina selling this. Even have an IG (since June 2020) and FB account advertising frequently

Not very expensive though, according to their website 🤭

I'll leave it here, I think you got enough for the weekend! 😂

some bestfriend!yujin thoughts for you nonnie! <3

bestfriend!yujin who never lets you pick anything when you’re together. you’re watching a movie? he already picked one, too bad. you’re going for some snacks? he already has the cart filled with his picks, maybe be a little quicker next time. always picks stuff he knows you will like as well though so <3 he can be a little sweet when he wants. pretends he doesn’t like the stuff you pick but sneakily takes a picture of the snack you got that turned out the be extremely good so he can buy it for himself later.

bestfriend!yujin who has a designated “tiktok-time” with you where you show each other tiktoks you’ve saved over the week. sometimes it’s stuff you want to try, videos that made you laugh, videos you think will make the other person laugh — you could just send them to each other, but the reactions are just a thousand times better in person so you’ve come to really cherish ttt™. but yujin also gets super huffy if you don’t end up crying on the floor from laughter, his humour and choice of tiktoks are elite why are you not laughing rn?

bestfriend!yujin who gets a little jealous when you hang out with other friends but plays it up so much to make it seem like a joke but you see right through him. stares at you with the blankest expression you’ve ever seen when you tell him “well, you’re with gyuvin all the time!” — “not by choice???” asks if you do stuff you two do with those other friends since that’s your guys’ thing and does not appreciate you joking about him trying to trademark your friendship.

bestfriend!yujin who has absolutely no interest in any type of gossip but still listens intently and remembers everything you tell him. “alright so this girl in my class—“ “which one? the one that cheated or the one that tripped the teacher?” listens to the audios you send him while doing his bedtime routine at night and sends you back a whole essay stating his opinions and why he is now also enemies with the girl that kept annoying you all week

bestfriend!yujin who always has your back even if you’re in the wrong. actually doubles down when you’re wrong and adds even more of his own outrageous takes and stands by them. you two have never lost a debate simply for the fact that people can’t stand you two together because it’s like arguing with two walls. at least you’re insufferable together!! <3

bestfriend!yujin who, without fail, will scribble and doodle on your papers and study materials when you go for a bathroom break or get something to drink. you come back with a glass of water and there’s just a random shinchan scribbled onto the corner of your paper while yujin pretends he’s thinking super hard about the math question he’s been working on for the past 15 minutes.

bestfriend!yujin who always pinches your side because it a) makes you squirm b) makes you let out inhuman sounds he finds utterly hilarious and c) it pisses you off if he does it enough times. loves himself a fun little no-stakes fight full of silly quips at each other.

A lesson in physics | College! Gojo Satoru x Reader

In these trying times, I will provide: a college au! I actually wrote this as a birthday present for my best friend, but I wanted to post it here as well. It’s also my first chaptered fic, yay! I hope you enjoy :)

CONTENT INCLUDES: AFAB! Reader, cursing, Gojo and reader are both in college and everything is NORMAL and HAPPY, Gojo is a frat boy, enemies to friends to lovers, will be NSFW in later chapter (MINORS DNI)

Monday, 12:00pm

Working with Satoru Gojo on a class assignment was a horror you only conjured in your nightmares. And as you look at the physics class assignment on your laptop screen, you realize you wouldn’t be waking up from this one any time soon.

“Oh god, him?” Your roommate Shoko joins your gaze of disgust as she glances at your fate. “You’re gonna end up doing the whole thing by yourself!”

“Don’t remind me” you whine, leaning back in your chair and placing a hand on your forehead in dramatic distress. “Can I switch with you?”

“Hell no, I’m securing this A with Nanami” Shoko laughs, patting you on the back as a poor attempt at pity. “But we’ll be praying for you.”

You and Shoko had just left said physics class, the two of you lounging at the library to get a head start on the week’s assignments. You couldn’t help but truly stress over your predicament instead of starting on your homework, however: everyone and their mom knew of Gojo Satoru and his infamous Kappa Alpha frat boy title. Ever since he was on your dorm floor freshman year of college, you’ve harbored a vendetta against him. While you were immune to his mesmerizing blue eyes and undeniable charisma, most of your friends weren’t, and pursued him in droves. With every poor girl’s broken heart that he stomped on, your hatred grew, until you infamously bashed him at his frat’s party that same year. While his reputation was almost impenetrable in the eyes of his male friends, you definitely did a little damage to him from the outside. Two years later, you never thought you’d have to deal with him again- until you both enrolled in the same physics class. Hell, you didn’t even think he had the brain capacity to handle a STEM major. And now, you have to work alongside him; you can’t help but question the universe and wonder what you ever did wrong to deserve this.

“Guess I’ll get his contact info” you sigh, pulling up the list of class emails and scrolling for his name.

“Hey! Y/N, right?” You hear a familiar voice ahead of you. Your lab partner, Gojo Satoru, has already found you in the library. The devil works hard, but Gojo works harder. 

“Hey Gojo” you reply monotonously, barely glancing at him over your laptop screen. He’s dressed like a poster frat boy, wearing a dark blue knitted sweater vest over a crisp white button-up paired with slim khakis. His paper white hair is unkempt yet tamed, and his irritating blue eyes sit behind round gold-rimmed glasses. His trademark smirk is replaced by an awkward smile as he approaches you; it’s good to know your blow at his ego was permanent.

“Uh, long time no see” Gojo continues while messing with his disheveled hair, “did you see we’re working on that project together?”

You can’t help but let out a belated sigh. “I sure did. You have any ideas for it yet?“

“Oh nah, I haven’t really looked at the whole thing yet. Do you wanna start it right now? I have time.”

“Oh uh, I have to leave for class in 15 minutes.” In reality, your next class starts in an hour; you just didn’t feel like talking to him right now. Still, you keep up the act by packing your belongings to head out.

“Oh that’s all good. Here,” Gojo hands you his phone, presenting an empty contact card for you to fill out. “Let’s set up a time to work on it later. We have two weeks, but I wanna get it over with”.

“Well, that’s something we agree on” you mutter, filling out your contact info on his cracked iPhone screen. You then hand his phone back to him and rise from your seat. “I’m usually free after 4pm. Just remember to actually text me back, Gojo. I know you’re not very good at that.”

“I will, I will,” he chuckles, holding up his hands in surrender to your threat. “Promise!” he holds up a pinky and winks at you, to which you roll your eyes and head back towards the door. You’re really hoping these next two weeks aren’t as difficult as you think they’ll be.

Thankfully, Gojo actually responded, and the two of you agreed to Tuesday evening at the library. You’re currently waiting for your project partner at a cozy corner desk, taking out your notes and laptop to begin the assignment. It’s 5 minutes past the agreed upon time when Gojo saunters up to you; honestly, you thought he’d show up later or forget entirely, so you’re not upset.

“Sorry, club meeting ran a little later than usual,” he says as he slumps into the couch across from you, his legs dangling over the armrest. “I got you this, too,” he adds, sliding a Red Bull over to you. “I don’t know how long we’re working on this tonight, but I thought I’d get us both one, just in case”.

“Oh, thanks. I got something already, though,” you reply, picking up your thermos of espresso and politely pushing back the offering. “What club are you in?” It seems like you’re both attempting to make amends to make the project a little easier.

“I’m in an astrophysics club. It’s nothing much, tho”, he shrugs. We just talk about nerdy shit and occasionally do projects and stuff.”

“I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t expect that from you”, you lean back in your chair, now slightly interested in the man before you.

“Yeah, I actually do more than just party.” Gojo adds while taking out his own supplies. “Believe it or not, I’m not the same guy I was freshman year”.

“You’re gonna have to prove it to me, I’m afraid”, you retort. If he’s trying to charm you, it won’t work. 

Gojo clears his throat. “Anyway, here are some ideas I had for the project”. He slides his notebook closer to you, revealing a page full of bullet points aptly titled “project ideas.” His handwriting is messy, but legible, and as you read his notes you’re reluctantly impressed by his insightfulness and creativity. Gojo reveals that he actually stayed behind at his club to relay his ideas and ask for tips, admitting he was more interested in the material than he thought he’d be. As you lean over the table to point out one particular idea, you catch a hint of cologne from him. You can tell it’s not a cheap scent, with notes of mandarin and cypress above amber and leather. His hair is slightly neater than it was yesterday, and up close you can tell that his skin is flawless. You’re almost annoyed at his effortlessly attractive appearance; no wonder so many people fawn over him. 

An hour passes briskly, with the two of you making ample progress with the project. Surprisingly, the two of you work well together, even getting off topic a few times to discuss frivolous subjects. You learned that he likes watching cartoons and reading, and wants to go into research after college. You can’t help but feel a little guilty for holding a grudge over him for so long; it seems like he really has changed. 

After 30 more minutes, Gojo stands up to stretch. “Alright, we’re done with the outline”, he yawns, taking a sip of his Red Bull. “I don't wanna keep you too long, how about we call it for the night?” 

“Sounds good to me”, you yawn in response, closing your notebook. “It takes me a bit to walk home, anyway”.

“You’re walking home by yourself? At dark?” Gojo questions you with genuine concern in his words. “I can drive you home, if you want”.

“Oh no, I’m fine. I do it all the time”, you shrug.

“It’s no big deal to me”, he flashes a small smile. “I respect having the balls to walk home alone at night, but I’d be a dick to not offer”.

“Sure, why not. I appreciate it”. You smile back, getting up to follow Gojo to his car. As you walk with him to his car, the two of you excitedly discuss a new anime you’ve both been watching. You didn’t take him as the type to be an anime guy either, but he’s surprised you a lot today. When you get to his car, it’s as nice as you expect it to be: a slick silver BMW with a clean interior, accompanied by a new car smell. Of course he has money, too. He’s not a menace to society on the road either, and the low hum of his Spotify playlist accompanies the small talk. 

“By the way”, Gojo pipes up after a moment of silence, “I feel like shit for how I acted to your friends freshman year. You were right to call me out like that”.

“I know”, you reply, with a hint of playfulness in your tone. He chuckles in response. 

“No offense taken. But really, I hope we can be on good terms now. I had a good time, even if we were working on an assignment.”

“Unfortunately, I think I did too”. He’s pulling up to the entrance of your apartment complex, and parks neatly by the door. 

“Next time, how about we work at my place? Only if you want to though, just thought I’d suggest some place quieter”.

“I’m down”, you nod, “I could bring snacks, too”. 

“Sounds like a deal. See you on Thursday, Y/N”. He gives you a short wave as you exit his car, and even makes sure to watch you get inside safely. As you walk to your apartment, you battle with your renewed thoughts of the frat boy you once detested. After being alone with him for an extended period of time, you hate to admit that you can see the appeal; he’s handsome, charming, and seems to have mellowed out over the years. But should you really be giving Satoru Gojo a chance?

Fuck it, you might.

(Stay tuned for part 2!)

Modern au trans Ace has been consuming my mind lately so I thought I'll just share all of my headcanons or else I'll explode:

• Sabo was the first person he had come out to. It happened when they were around 9. Ace had always felt that something was "wrong" about him. That the way he acted, his interests and past times, and just how he would do things were "unnatural" or wierd". Once Ace became familiar with the conspet of transgenderism he just opened up to him, and was met with instant support.

• Immediately after this, Sabo gave Ace his (trademark) transgender haircut in the bathroom of Dadan's house. She actually entered it while they were there and upon seeing it she cried out of happyness. (Mothers know everything)

• Coming out to Garp was a bit harder for Ace since he wasn't sure how an older person would have reacted, I mean Garp just left there his grand"daughter" and came back to a grandson after all. But we all know that Garp would never discriminate, and plus now he has another grandson to train.

• Luffy arrived in his life after a full year after he had transitioned, so at first Ace wasn't sure how to exacly explain this to Luffy, but he did manage to open up to him after they officially became brothers. Luffy wasn't just an innocent kid, while he didn't fully understood concepts like transphobia, to him Ace is just his brother so if anyone is mean to him or calls him names he'll just kick their asses.

• Ace had been homeschooled for the 5 years that would have been him attending elementary school. Middle school was the first time he attended an actual school and at first he wasn't open or confident at all and was ready to just beat up anyone who tried to shit talk him.

• Surprisingly he made a few friends. They were mostly just Luffy's friends who were older than him or his friends's siblings, but he appreciated it anyway. His absolute best friend ever tho is Kuina. I hd her as non binary using she/they so its just trans supporting trans, and they also have like a million of other reasons to be friends but those were already pointed out.

• His top surgery was payed by none other than his father Newgate. The Whitebeards pirates would be just this one tatoo shop Ace works at that Newgate he opened after "retiring" from biker gangs and stuff.

• Obbligatory T4T Yamace, but we all already knew this, didn't we?

• Ace gets the best older trans guy advice from Franky. Because to me, he is just what every trans guy aspires to be, cool and hardboiled. And who wouldn't want to get advice from the dude who did his own top surgery in his father's mechanic shop at 15?

These are all from me, but feel free to add your own or elaborate on the ones you like.

Trans Ace is so real to me that I quite literally can't imagine him being cis. It's just so,,, Weird to me. And I absolutely love everything you said. I definitely think Sabo was the first one to know and the one who helped Ace the most with his transition, also telling Garp, who actually is way better (if you can say 'better' when something isn't even 'good' but yeah) at raising boys. At least he understands them better. So I think he wouldn't have a problem with it at all even if he's more on the "I don't really get it that much, kid, but as long as you're happy" type of vibe. I agree with everything,, When he was younger he really didn't interact with many people and usually preferred to be alone. Teachers considered him more of a problematic kid than anything, and always compared him to Sabo with the typical "how are you like this when your brother is just so polite and smart!?" but then Sabo always ends up fighting the teachers for saying that shit in front of the class and Sabo stops being so perfect in their eyes (also he starts rebelling himself a lot against the educational system lmao). And not to talk shit about Garp, but talking shit about Garp I'm sure Ace would get in trouble a lot and Garp wouldn't show up to the meetings with Ace's teachers. That only makes Ace feel lonelier and everyone thinks he's extremely troubled. When he's literally a sweetheart to both Sabo and Luffy,, When he meets Luffy's friends, he starts to open up to people. He still gets in a lot of trouble, honestly, but that's just him. I think his classmates find out about him being trans, of course, and not a lot of people are okay with that. He truly wants to fight them but he knows that if he keeps going like this he'll get expelled and he doesn't like the idea of leaving Sabo and Luffy alone ('doesn't like the idea' meaning he almost gets expelled and Sabo had to scold him and tell him that even though he has his own friends he doesn't know what he would do without him in school), so Luffy and Sabo are usually the one defending him a lot of the time since the teachers, even though they're chaotic, don't really hate them (because look at those cutie patooties how could you hate Luffy???? He gets along even with teachers). The Whitebeard pirates accept him with open arms and he finally feels he has a place to belong to. Newgate doesn't even offer to pay for the surgery, he just pays without telling him first because he knows Ace wouldn't have let him do it otherwise. He's so so grateful for them. And his brothers. And his friends. And everybody that has ever supported him. I think that he has lots of issues with depression and self-image and he often has a hard time when he acts impulsively, but Newgate always helps him. He grounds him. Gives him something to focus on. And Franky is soooo fun to be around. Newgate tells him to go see Franky and give him the money he owes him, and that's how they meet, basically. It's obvious he's trans because he goes shirtless all the time and scars are there and everything... And Ace just has to ask about his experience. Franky helps him gladly. And it's not only cathartic but also very comforting. He also meets Robin there!!!! Because married Frobin in this one. And I think Ace would absolutely love her because she keeps being oh so nice to him. She kind of reminds him of Makino, and it's extremely sweet. I think Ace now goes to help Franky from time to time when the Tattoo shop doesn't really need him there or, well, whenever he wants to because he also is extremely interested in bikes.

T4T Yamace my beloved.... Guys being guys. Dudes being dudes. I think they meet because Newgate tells Ace something about this man Kaido (leader of a gang) who owes him lots of money or something or did something very nasty to him yadda yadda Maybe they just have beef from when Newgate was into the gang stuff. And Ace keeps saying he should go and settle things with Kaido and beat him up for that, but Newgate is retired and he really, really doesn't give a single fuck about it. Lmao. Ace says he could take down Kaido himself. Newgate laughs. Ace is too proud. So he ends up looking for Kaido and fighting Yamato late at night in the street and,, Well. You know how it goes. They become daddy issues besties and turns out Yamato does not want to follow his dad's steps. Ace is curious about Yamato's experience because he doesn't seem to want to have surgery or anything, and they keep bonding over their pasts and family and Yamato ends up joining the friend group. And it's so cute. Newgate can see the kid is in love because every day he waits for Yamato to come pick him up to hang out. Or maybe he begs to get out earlier to go see Yamato. He keeps talking about Yamato,,, All the time. Even Sabo and Luffy are done with him. It's endearing.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA This is just so good. Modern Au my absolute beloved.

When I was in middle school there was a girl in my class who had this beautiful huge afro. like seriously gorgeous gorgeous huge hair. anyway one day in art class we had to do a self portrait and of course almost everyone's probably sucked because we were like 14 or 15 but I remember, vividly, what she drew. Her drawing took up the whole page, no silhouette or anything. It was all just hair, and in the very middle there was a face, very small compared to everyone else's drawings. I remember looking at that, I remember being so impressed with how she used all the space available with minimal effort and maximum impact, and how cool that looked, and how she used a physical feature she knew was very trademark of her appearance. I don't think this woman remembers something she drew at school when she was 14 but I do. I still think about it every now and then.

[emeraldkarma]

Ok so my hyper fixation on aphmau has sparked u again, I've decided to share my little Au with the world because my friends are getting tired of hearing about a minecraft roleplay from... oh god it's been that long? Jeez.

Anyway here is what I'm changing about the base cannon of mystreet before I throw in any crazy AUs like Ein being a decent person and living with Aph and Sylvanna during S2 of PDH or mystreet Dante getting stuck in MCD when everyone ditched him.

So I don't know I can fit my whole four years worth of brain rot in one post so we are going to start with the big blaring walking red flag himself Aaron.

What needs to change?

So so muck For starters, apparently, Aphmau needed to listen to sylvannas internet safety lectures a bit more because SHE STILL GIVES A STRANGER HER ACTUAL PHONE NUMBER!!! Sorry sorry this is a post about Aaron not how nieve aphmau is.

Anyway the guys 18 and is dating aphmau who is probably 14/15. This guy is going off to college in a year and aphmau still talks her stuffed cat and hides in a closet before her first day of high school.

Also at first I defended Aaron becouse I thought he just didn't know how old she was when they were strangers texting each other but they have a whole conversation about how nervous she is ABOUT HER FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL! Sorry again 😔 but if I was Aaron and I found out that the person I was talking to was actually a young girl who was probably fourteen or fifteen (younger actually since they've known each other and have been texting for atleast a couple months) and knowing that I am seventeen or eighteen would break it off and probably unfriend them not keep texting them about it and then start to ask them to reveal there real name.

Then there's the whole like ultima thing I know it wasn't actually written in until like season 4 of mystreet but I have a question 🤔 if darek knew what kind of life was in store for his son having the curse if he feels so bad about having to isolate his son if he knew the curse is a possibility why have him? Why risk have biological children? Or why not stop after milisasa since for some reason the curse only effects the males of a blood line. (You're telling Me the lycan family has never had an all female generation? Is the curse just dormant in females?) I'm changing that we need to change dark put him on the list right above Sylvanna but under KC.

There's also like why are you the alpha of the werewolf pack? Like I get it in highschool but after in season five? You don't know anything about the culture and Daniel ran the highschool pack for four years you don't have to be the alpha now? I genuinely think that was from Jason wanting his self insert to be the ' powerful hot alpha oc trademark do not steal'

So how an I gonna fix this?

Well we are going to start with Aaron's age, He's aphmaus age or well hes sixteen but so were Garothand Laurence. Plane and simple hes sixteen hes a softmore who was homeschooled is life becouse of his secret ultima curse. He does switch schools temporarily for S2 of PHD becouse dark was worried about how frequently Aaron was loosing control and how he still hadn't had a grasp on the curse, I'm gonna get to that hold tight.

That leads me into my next fix how Aph and Aaron met! They were put in the same online schooling class because Rachel is a bissness major, and Sylvanna is the type of mom to make you cry when she helps you study for your spelling bee (she loves her daughter but she does not have enogh patients to be a teacher.) Anyway they meet in the online class and find out they're both into the same things including a popular Online game and being lonely homeschooled kids latch onto each other, (I would imagine that Aaron went under a different name for the homeschooling program since he can't have the media tracking him down or asking questions y'know?) Then once they get to the age were they have phones reluctantly trade Instagram (aph made a separamount. Just for talking to Aaron and not posting pics because her mom follows her mian and Aaron makes his very first acount and only follows aph who goes by Shu on that account.)

Now to fix the lycann family.

Let's start with the curse, like I said makes no sense as to why Dark still had kids with Rachel biological when he Knew what his kids would go through. So the ultima curse effects all offspring male or female and it isn't usually as strong as Aaron's. In my head not being able to control there eyes was grown out of around five years old to seven years old and then there eyes stop turning red without wanting them to they still pose the danger it's just not that hard to control. It's like potty training they learn as they grow up. But for whatever reason Aaron never really grew out of the uncontrollable eyes thing, infact they were almost always red when he was young. This scared Darek who grew up on these stories about what will happen to them if the curse is ever discovered in they're family blood line, (which is why they still hide that they're werewolves.)

Aaron lived his life in solitude while millisa got to go out and experience the world she got to go the boarding schools in Germany and go with mom and dad on they're business trips while he stayed in they're house in falcon claw with either one of his parents or trusted staff. (This is not how millisa sees it BTW but we'll talk about her later.

I hope you enjoyed my brain dump.

[radioactive-metal]

the creativity harvest is bountiful tonight

This is my third post today and so the silly people in my skull have started breaking furniture to power the comically old, steam powered and poorly made machine known as my creativity. And so I have finished a random project that’s been lying around for a while. It isn’t great, but anything is better than nothing eh?

Ill probably rewrite if I ever get the motivation

enjoy:

Tyler:

“No rest for the wicked, and even less for the pious, amirite golden boy?”

Finians characteristic snark shook me from my thoughts as I stared down at the data pad. Legion HQ has assigned us poor little war heroes in squad 312 to command squad on a legion Polearm class frigate.

The polearms are the next step up from the longbows, larger, tougher, punchier. Each one is crewed by 6 squads, with 6 of each stream to work aboard. 6 alphas made up the bridge crew, 6 gearheads stop the inevitable plasma leaks, fires, and other such problems that came with having 6 brains and six aces aboard one vessel (2 aces flying the frigate itself, 4 others flying fleet defense fighters). 

In all honesty, I was sad that we weren’t being reassigned to longbow duty, despite such a thing being “unfitting” of a squad of our caliber. I didn’t look forward to having to deal with the grumbling of 5 other alphas moaning about being stuck under me, nor did I want to share the bridge with anyone but my squad. The one saving grace was that, on a technicality, Aurora was promoted to an honorary Ace, due to the destruction of at least 6 enemy vessels in three future (don’t ask me how that makes sense). 

She also seemed to be a natural at flying, but the way she did it reminded me of someone….

Of an old friend….

Scar

I wandered in to the briefing room, dark patches under my eyes from lack of sleep 

‘Worth it’ I thought to myself as I saw the hickeys on my neck reflected on the gleaming table.

Tyler also noticed them, before glancing between me and finian with the look of a parent who just caught their child with a hand in the cookie jar.

“We are gonna have a looooooong talk finian”

“About what sir?”

Tyler remained impassive at the jab, deciding it wasn’t worth it in the end (I could read that despite his trademark neutral expression, benefits of being half psychic right?)

“Off duty… activities aside, we have been given a new assignment”

A collective groan from around the table, shared by all but Kal and Tyler.

“Save it folks, it gets worse. It’s Polearm duty, as lead squad. Hope you guys enjoy having to herd cats like I do all the time with you!”

The slightest hint of a smug smile danced across  Tyler’s face before vanishing again. I was not looking forward to having to corral my fellow faces…

Finian:

I was not looking forward to having to deal with my fellow gearheads. I use the words fellow and gearheads very lightly though. As I’ve previously said, I’d bet a good chunk of them couldn’t count to ten without taking off their socks… and from the way scar looks, I doubt she feels much better.

Everyone looks to the empty chair when Zila should be… 

“Thank the maker zila doesn’t have to do it… her disrupter would need recharging before we even left the docks”

The joke draws out a few laughs, but we all sit in rembrance of the two members of the squad who we left behind. Both gone… but neither forgotten.

Tyler:

“Alright squad, let’s get moving. Scheduled to leave at 15:00 ships time. We are off to the wonderful wonderful Jia system to fend off some pirates attacking the new technical development colony of Bei. Dismissed!”

I notice Aurora check her watch, mumble something I can’t quite make out, and look at Kal.

I wonder what trouble Saedii has gotten herself into.

Knowing her, she’s probably cut the thumbs of a adept for sneezing and then punched a draakan just for giggles….

Maker I miss her.

Aurora:

As I settle into the pilots chair on our new ship, a Polearm designated “AP-231” I run the systems through their boot up, memories that aren’t quite mine guiding my hands to switches and knobs. Cats parting gift to me is especially touching, It means that in a little way, she still lives on through me.

As we push back from the dock, and move towards the fold gate, the radio crackles

“AP-231, Gate beacon has you locked. You are cleared for fold entry”

I pause for a moment, then I press the ‘transmit’ button

“Roger that Aurora. Pour me a shot, I’ll be back for last call.”

I intend to make good on that promise.

For Cat, and for Zila.

[psalmsofpsychosis]

tell me about your favorite movies and books!! i wanna dissect your brain (lovingly) (affectionate)

Choccy my belovedest you broke in through my bedroom window at 3am with the hardest question asked of mankind huh 😭❤️❤️ i have so many favs!!! i dont remember any of them!! but. i will try to make an effort because i love you 💕 so! 5 movies/tv shows and 5 books ayy

For Media,

• City of God!!!

the pace of this movie is insane, i call it the movie that never sleeps, both narrative wise and production wise. It's constantly in motion and a whirlwind of a wild story but it never loses its ground and its significance, which is not something i can say about

• Shameless US

jesus. listen, Shameless US is as wonderful as it's shit, in equal measures. It's a story that feels like the best unprotected sex of your life that also gave you Hepatitis B. ShU travels into territories noone dares to tread, and sometimes it's a cheap hitch in the back of a junkie's stolen van, and sometimes it's a first class experience in Bono's private jet; no inbetween. It's insanely creative, insanely unapologetic and honest, hits like an unexpected 2am urge to go scream from the rooftop of your house, and it's quite frankly unforgettable, both in its bad and good moments.

• Tokyo Godfathers

MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!! MOVIE OF ALL TIME I TELL YA!!!!

• Doukyuusei

This bitch here is SO dear to me, i dont even know how to describe it. It's quite different from the manga, and i love the manga so much i think about it more than 3 seconds and i die, but the story feels more fluid in movie format. To me Doukyuusei is the best example of how you can tell the richest and most fascinating and intriguing story without ugly shock value or Angst TM or stupid twists; just life as it happens. The Manga's characterizations are so intricate and complex and distinct it blows your mind, not a single stereotype in sight. I really need Doukyuusei to be some kinda food so i can eat it for the rest of my life.

• Corvette Summer

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have no excuses. This is my trademark movie, the Farimah TM movie, i've claimed it and i bite anyone who gets close. It's so saccharine it rots half of your tooth halfway in and i love a good "take of life all you can; for the love of gods want something, anything, take what is yours and never apologise twice" story. I adore how flirty and sweet and soft this movie is. Plus, yeah, Mark Hamill and Annie Potts. The dream sandwich.

• Honorary mention: Blue Eye Samurai

Simply the most intelligent piece of media i have seen in the last 5 years, holy fucks. It works your brain on 99 different subtle levels to the point that it makes you glad to possess a brain and being able to comprehend stories. It's a challenging watch, intellectually, emotionally— solid makes you proud to understand it the way you'd be proud after finishing a 6k piece puzzle.

And as for books, i've mostly been indulging my fiction thirst with fanfic and flash fiction, and been mainly reading nonfiction in terms of published stuff, so, yeah, it's gonna get a bit technical. sorry.

• Tara Campbell's "Angels and Blueberries"

This story healed 15 years of my childhood trauma with 30% discount.

• Anne Waldron Neumann's "Monologues with Euphemisms"

There's something about flash fiction that forces people to get creative and by gods creative they get. The structure of this piece is so unconventional and sturdy it makes my brain sing 99 motown tunes. Speaking of story structure though,

• Jane Alison's "Meander, Spiral, Explode"

This is a book about story structure. I read it in pieces the way you read poetry and philosophy essays. Take of that what you will. Like, this is such meta read; you can analyse the book itself on its narrative flow and rhythm. I think i learnt more about Aristotle's idealogies reading this book than i learnt by reading Aristotle's essays. and this is the second "nonfiction that reads like poetry" book on this list. The first one is,

• Carlo Rovelli's "The Order Of Time"

Yep. Quantum physics is art to me by nature, but Rovelli really drives the art part home, and he's so sexy for it. This book is so lyrical and it plays with your heartstrings as much as it plays with your brain, i dont care about what category it falls under; this is top notch fiction to me.

• John Luckovich's "The Instinctual Drives And The Enneagram"

an older read i keep picking up every other half year, since i got into Luckovich's theories back in 2017, but yeah, this book is basically the foundation of majority of my worldviews, the spine of it. Luckovich is such thorough and unconventional thinker, getting into his stuff uprooted my brain in uncomfortable ways, and it's been an exhilarating journey.

• Honorary mention: Peter A. Levine's "Waking The Tiger"

Honestly? if i had to give someone one single book to read in their lifetime and nothing else, this would be it. I reference this book mentally in my everyday life so goddamn much i think it's etched into my DNA at this point, this book and Luckovich's theories on human instinct.

Thank you for picking my brain love, be sure to drop the diagnosis in my inbox later 🤣❤️

20 questions for fic writers

tagged by my wife @dxppercxdxver (although I really don't consider myself a fic writer these days lmao)

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

5 (and 2 orphaned)

2. what’s your total ao3 word count?

22,856

3. what fandoms do you write for?

considering I have at maximum 2 fics per fandom. you could say none! although my most popular fics were broadchurch and good omens

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

the first is an orphaned batman/joker fic (does anyone remember that era of this blog? I'm so sorry lmao)

she - broadchurch

i love to live so pleasantly (lazing on a sunny afternoon) - good omens

Blueberry - IT (2017) (an incredibly cringe fic I wrote as a teenager for the love of god please don't read this)

i just want to be held (by your cold hands) - broadchurch

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

occasionally! if there's something that like. needs a response I do try to give them but otherwise I am very bad at getting back to comments. I do read and appreciate them all though!

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

it's the IT one tagged above lmao due to the like. 15/16 year old me projecting. I'm not very good at writing angst!

7. what’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

probably either of the broadchurch fics due to. trans joy and also gay domesticity

8. do you get hate on fics?

not actively? during my batman/b*tjokes years (bearing in mind I was about 14) I used to get occasional hate on tumblr due to trans/gay headcanons but that wasn't necessarily fic related. I also once had a pretty big b*tjokes writer comment on an old fic (like three or four years after I'd written it, when I was no longer In The Fandom) claiming I'd stolen their ideas and needed to either remove my work or credit them despite. only having read a few of their works very briefly. the work of mine in Question being a prompt fill. and me just following a lot of the trends of the fandom at the time? like sorry you don't actually have a trademark on hurt/comfort sick fics buddy it's a Fairly Popular Concept. anyway yeah that's about it.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

nope <3 I've never tried and frankly I don't think I'd be very good at getting any ideas I have Across in a way that reads as sexy or hot enough to warrant actually writing it lmao

10. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I don't think I've fully written or published any crossovers, however! every character I've ever liked has been thrown into a killjoys au in my brain at one point or another (including but not limited to: the scooby doo gang, the penumbra pod gang, the eos 10 gang, Cecil and Carlos wtnv, ect). myself and jon plotted a whole magnus archives/mst3k au that I Wish one of us had written, and another mst3k/the mechanisms au that started as a joke and become so insanely important to us it sincerely helped us get together as a couple. we also had an overall eos10/penumbra podcast crossover that I personally never wrote anything for but I think jon Started some unpublished fics that never got finished.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

not as far as I know!

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

again, i dont beliebe so, but people are more than welcome to do so as long as im credited ofc

13. have you ever co-written a fic before?

I class at least the first of my broadchurch fics as partially co-written with Jon bc he was a Huge Help in that fic getting written, and as you might be able to tell from above we've Plotted a lot of fic ideas together (another includes a very goofy villain-decay bill cipher gravity falls fic) but basically none of them ever actually get written

14. what’s your all time favourite ship?

argh I can't choose one all time favourite. jonmartin themagnusarchives are insanely dear and important to me, jongerry / jonmartingerry are closely behind that. poly scooby doo gang. vince/howard from the mighty boosh. these are all just sentimental ships if I'm honest. also I became ridiculously attached to mine and Jon's crackship of jonny d'ville themechanisms / Mike mst3k

15. what’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

honestly I'm kind of past the point of hoping to get back into writing due to. complete lack of willpower. but I wish I'd gotten round to writing the third trans Hardy fic I had planned at one point </3

16. what are your writing strengths?

idk!! I think I'm good at capturing like. very specific moments of domesticity and comfort. and I think when I'm imagining A Scene I'm quite good at getting the vibes of that scene across. but other than that I'm really not sure

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

oh god uhh. actually writing. linking scenes together. Plot other than just vague "here's two characters hanging out and existing". the list goes on

18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don't think I've actually attempted it myself? due to most characters I've written have been. incredibly British. I will say a pet peeve of mine in Reading a fic is when it is a fic in 99% English that'll have a large chunk of dialogue in another language, without a translation available somewhere for it. like a word or two is fine but if there's some actual plot in there and you're expecting me to Google translate it, that feels kind of the same as when subtitles simply say (speaking french) or whatever instead of Telling Us What They're Saying

19. first fandom you wrote for?

embarrassingly and horrifically. h*rry p*tter (I was 11)

20. favourite fic you’ve written?

it has to be she simply due to the Amount of trans love and support I got to hear about in the comments of that fic :,)

I'm not tagging anyone bc to be completely honest I don't remember which of my mutaks actively write <3

[unisex-muffin]

For Paul? 📎👕🐵

Ask Game

Side note, I really hope we see more of Paul, even if it's just some artwork or something. Little guy is like, what, 15 now? He's growing up and we're all so proud, he's like the collective son of the fandom, lmao.

📎 Work or School

Paul is your typical Splatooniverse teenager when it comes to school. He would much rather be out playing in Turf Wars and he too ditches class from time to time.

But he does relatively well in school and tries to keep on top of his work, so it's not like he's falling behind or anything, and he makes sure to be there for important tests. He was raised with a bit more focus on school than other inkfish kids are, so he does plan to go to a university when he graduates high school.

As for being a music maker and being in Sashimori, Karla and Ryu and Taichi do try to make sure that it doesn't cut into his time with his friends or his schooling. Basically trying to keep his life as normal as possible so he doesn't get burnt out on it.

👕 Style

He's always wearing some sort of hat, that's like his trademark thing. He'll usually draw/paint his little logo on a new hat too.

I think he'd be really into street-fashion, in the vein of taking something that's vintage and making something new out of it or combining clothes that usually don't go together and somehow making it work.

🐵 Random

He will sometimes pretend to be an anonymous source to leak portions of in progress tracks in order to build up hype. Karla and Ryu don't mind it, but Taichi really wishes he wouldn't.

Book Review: ‘Ascendance of a Bookworm’ #15 (4.3)

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 4 Volume 3 (Ascendance of a Bookworm by Miya Kazuki My rating: 5 of 5 stars It's good to be home. But what in the world is home to a bookworm stuck in an isekai narrative replete with scheming nobles, petty collaborators, persnickety royalty, and friends drifting further apart? ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v15 briefly returns to Ehrenfest, and upon apparating locally, Lady Rozemyne is beset with a multitude of responsibilities pursuant to resolving the many emotional burdens she had initially left behind. Ehrenfest is abuzz, but perhaps not in the way Rozemyne would prefer. The printing industry is taking off in fits and starts, while the young woman's socializing skills have left the aub a nervous wreck (Sylvester: "Rozemyne, when it comes to socializing matters, you make everyone want to leap off a cliff," page 82). As such, the biggest challenge rests in anticipating what's next: dissolving old contracts and signing new ones, adhering to protocol with end-of-year ceremonies at the Royal Academy, and negotiating terms of (the printing) business with regional giebes. ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v15 is a comfy volume. It's also a significant turning point in the protagonist's emotional journey. Is she leaving people behind? Is she being left behind by others? Will her caretakers prioritize her anxieties? Satisfy her intellectual curiosity? Will her prospective fiancé acknowledge her sensitivity to these needs? The author addresses these and other challenges through the novel series' trademarked humor and empathy. Rozemyne's socializing is only terrible because she's a compassionate person (e.g., honesty is discouraged among nobles). And the weight of building out the printing business is only so fraught because it can go wrong in so many ways. Intraduchy, Rozemyne must control and coordinate what might otherwise grow frenetic. Interduchy, Rozemyne's burgeoning relationship with Lady Eglantine (Klassenberg) is a delightful surprise, and serves as the support the young woman (sort of) receives in building up Ehrenfest's reputation. The novel's biggest hurdle concerns how Rozemyne pledges to move on from her connections to the Lower City. Bigger printing business means bigger magic contracts, which means nullifying and moving on from the older, smaller relationships. Ferdinand steps in and offers a bit of compassion in lieu of his usual tough love, but that doesn't make the young woman's emotional burdens any lighter at the outset. Rozemyne fears she's becoming a different person, or fears everyone else is simply moving on or maturing at a faster rate in their lives. Who will comfort her? ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM v15 is fun and free of drama, but the book's closing chapters again position Rozemyne head-to-head with established noble culture. When apprentice layscholar Philine gets into a predicament of sorts, a debate ensues as to the responsibility of higher nobles to lend aid to those in need. The danger of leaving things be, and the precedent of adhering to those dangers, are not vicissitudes of privilege Rozemyne is willing to suffer under any circumstance. It would appear that for Rozemyne to overcome difficulties in class and status, she'll need a lot more practice and experience navigating the tribulations endemic to her own duchy.

Judith 'Judy' Grant

"Judith Grant is one of those girls that a greaser guy just looks at her and thinks- no, he knows, that he ain't got a chance with her. But damn she's a sight to see. Pretty blond hair she's always got loosely curled, blue eyes that always look like she's got something on her mind, and headbands and pleated skirts that became almost her trademark. Even though soc girls are already off limits to guys like us, but with girls like Judith Grant, its a crime for a greaser to even look at her. Its blasphemous. So I don't know why even with all of that, she seems to actually like hanging around the East side. Around greasers. I also don't know what the hell Sergei is doing, hanging around her. She seems sweet, but if any of the soc guys find out, they'd tie him to a tree and beat him to death. But even that doesn't seem to stop Sergei from sneaking out to go meet her at the Dingo.. (Judith Grant at the Dingo of all places..)" - Ponyboy Curtis, 1965

Status: Soc

Age: 15 (going on 16)

Gender: Female (she/her)

Sexuality: Straight

MBTI: ESFP

Birthday: March 8th

Family: Thomas Grant (father), Mary Grant (mother), and Michael Grant (older brother)

Backstory: Judith Grant was surrounded by toys and pretty dresses growing up, but she still felt like she was being held prisoner by her own family. Her father was ridiculously strict on her and her brother, obssesed with the idea of having a perfect family. Her mother was no help. An absolute doormat for her domineering father. She doesn't even consider them family at this point. Why should she? They never saw her as their daughter, a human being. Only a trophy they could flaunt to their neighbors to make them insecure. They're even trying to make her date Jeremy Cooper, a boy that is the living embodiment of every trait Judith despises in a person. Even as a child, she didn't like sitting next to him, because he'd never leave her alone. But the Coopers are a well-respected family, her mother says. As if Judith ever gave a damn about that stuff.. She doesn't give a damn about the whole soc vs. greaser ordeal either. In the greasers she always saw a free In her eyes, its just her and Michael. The one person who's ever understood her yearning to break free and get far away from Tulsa. To travel as far as she could and never stay in one place for too long, because it was a dream they shared. He was the one person in her life other than Ronnie Edwards, her best friend, who understood her. At least.. Until she met Sergei Volkov.

Hobbies/interests: Lesley Gore, Elvis Presley, reading, baking, poetry, playing the piano (her brother taught her), animals, The Ronnettes

Hair: Blonde

Eyes: Blue

Faceclaim: young! Freya Mavor

"Sergei, you understand me more than anyone ever has, you know that? I don't even think Michael gets me like you do.."

Dynamics

Ponyboy: Pony and her get along well. They got partnered for a project and she actually struck up a conversation with him. They talked about poetry and classic literature, and safe to say, Pony was surprised to hear Judith Grant liked the works of Edgar Allan Poe. It was actually through Pony that she met Sergei.

Johnny: They get along well, too. Judith likes talking to Johnny, she thinks he's sweet. (I don't have a lot SORRY- just know they get along-)

Dallas: She doesn't like him. She'll shoot back whenever he tries to hit on her and tell him to buzz off.

Mickey: She thinks he's funny. They banter and its so cute-

Sergei: They met through Pony, as I mentioned. She liked how quiet he was, it was charming to her. So she tried to get him to talk more. If her parents knew about her sneaking out to the Dingo to go watch a movie with not only a greaser, but a greaser that was a Russian immigrant? She'd never be allowed outside the house again.. So for now, her and Sergei will settle for sneaking glances in class and the halls and the occasional sneaking around at night or in the evening, giggling to themselves about this little secret that's all theirs (well, except for Pony. And Johnny. And Danny. And Mickey. And-) okay okay, maybe its not a secret to their friends. But all that matters is that Judith's parents stay out of the loop.

Once approved, your trademark is published in the Trademark Journal for 90 days. This allows third parties to oppose if they believe your mark conflicts with theirs. If no opposition arises (or if it's resolved in your favor), your application proceeds to registration.

Step 5: Trademark Registration & Protection ✅

After the opposition period, your trademark gets officially registered! You'll receive a registration certificate, granting you exclusive rights for 10 years (renewable indefinitely). You can now proudly use the ® symbol next to your brand name!
