[thesagekissoftime]

Please, I just want a lyrical, beautiful, poetic Greek mythology retelling novel on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. If this already exists someone please tell me because I am not aware of it and I need it. My life will not be complete until it has been written, and I have it in my hand while I sit cross-legged on my bed, annotating its tear-stained pages. Is that so much to ask for?

@takeflight said : ❛  not a word about this to anyone.  ❜ from magenta to warren peace :)

"AND WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO IF I SPILL THE BEANS?" he won't - but that doesn't mean that he doesn't find it fun to push her buttons, dangling the thought of embarrassment over her head. it's not even really that serious - but she thinks it is, which makes it all the more fun. "and what's in it for me?"

[616witch]

Hi there! As a pretty casual Avengers fan, I haven’t read too many runs that portray the relationship between Wanda and Vision. Why do fans like this ship? And why do some Wanda fans seem to dislike Vision? Are there any runs or comics that show the good or bad of this pairing?

Hello! I'm going to answer this question because I love these characters and I love to waffle about them, but also just going to remind people that I also have a personal account over at @brw where I talk more about stuff like this! This account is almost a portfolio of my graphic design, as well as an archive for comic art and editing resources and other graphic designers, with a few odd extra things I think are cool that I want on this blog. I try to refrain from posting too much commentary or the like here, just because I want to keep it very focused on my creations and the creations of other folks. With that out of the way, I'll dive into this!

Why do fans like this ship?

Well, I can only speak to my experience as a 616 ScarletVision fan, and from engaging with different fans through the years, but these are only my personal takes and some observations. Everyone you ask could give you a different answer, and none of them would be wrong.

For me, the personal pull is, first and foremost–I really like both of these characters. They both have a very distinctive design, they both have very strong core aesthetics, they both have dramatic, strong personalities and they both have a very distinguished speech pattern, so their relationship would always be interesting to me, because it combines so many different things that I love. Without being a fan of Vision and Wanda separately as characters, I wouldn't like this relationship as much as I do.

Anyway, beyond just generally liking their respective vibes, I've always appreciated just how dramatic and intense these two are. Vision and Wanda definitely feel like their respective first, proper adult relationship, at least in my opinion. This might be divisive, as Wanda and Warren Worthington III did date in First Class, but that relationship to me read more teenage and youthful, while Vision and Wanda are very much so swept in the emotional and physical intensity that they develop for each other very rapidly in their Avengers appearances together. That dramatic, strong personality they both possess makes their relationsip very dramatic and over the top, which I find a delight to read.

Giant Size Avengers #4 (1974)

Even when they get married, this drama doesn't really go away, and the bio of this blog comes from one of my favourite issues depicting these two and their dramatic sensibilities.

Marvel Super-Heroes V2 #10 (1992)

This panel brings us into our second reason, which is that there's something really interesting about the way these characters are both social outcasts for a variety of reasons; Wanda is Rromani, a mutant and a witch, and Vision is a synthezoid, completely non-human and unable to fit into human norms and customs. A big theme of these two and their relationship is having a similar lived experience because of the ways they are social outcasts, and of their love becoming stronger than the adversity that they face because of it.

Avengers V1 #113 (1973)

To me, its a very engaging story, and it's well compounded by again, how dramatic and high-energy these two are, the ways they show and perform their love for one another. They're also often very bitter and angry at the world for the way it mistreats them, which is an interesting character trait for both of them as other characters (like Pietro) are often written as antagonists for those opinions. And this of course makes it more special when they are so tender and loving around each other, the ways they can find solace and peace in one another.

They also just generally brought out the best in one another during their marriage, in my opinion. Vision's stoic, dependable personality and their support for Wanda while she was exploring her magic with Agatha Harkness was incredibly important as she developed and grew from a mutant with magical themeing, to a powerful witch in her own right. It is Vision who taught Wanda the principal of "Order and Chaos belong together", which is a really important line of thought for her. And Vision of course becomes increasingly more in tune with their own emotions, more emotionally mature and more developed as a person as their relationship with Wanda develops. They go from a traumatised, bitter person angry at the world, with essentially no emotional regulation skills because they're like three days old, to being a loving, deeply compassionate and considerate spouse and parent, who has built their own family in spite of the isolation they grew up with.

There's probably other reasons I'm missing, but these are the big ones in my opinion, why I keep coming back to these two despite not being together for 30, 40 odd years.

Why do some Wanda fans not like Vision?

There are a few different reasons for these, so I'll do my best to be brief. Some reasons are more than valid and are worthy critiques and understandable reactions and feelings to have, and others, quite frankly, are complete horseshit made up by people who feel like their dislike of Lines On Paper has to be justified, or righteous, and can't allow it to just be. I'm focusing this list on specific reasons they dislike Vision, not people just preferring other relationships like WandaJericho or ScarletPhoenix or what have you.

Just not the type of character they like. Which is understandable. Not every character works for every person, and sometimes disliking a character isn't that deep! People are allowed to not like lines on a sheet of paper, after all.

Character and ship was ruined for them by the MCU, and MCU fans. Also understandable, although I wish that didn't mean that all the actually interesting parts of the 616 Vision/Wanda dynamic was ignored, but what can you do.

Has a difficult and varied history of being coded as a minority by various (very white, very American) writers during the 70s and early 80s, which have not aged well. A big inspiration for Vision was Spock from Star Trek, who is obviously a biracial character and faces a lot of discrimination for this, and this was part of the character makeup of Vision and it was often a source of allegory, as well as a source of drama in Wanda and Vision's relationship. Not an often well done aspect of their character, and not very tasteful. This writing turned off some people, which is understandable (although if you're asking me, which you are, it's not any more egregious than X-Men coding but that's neither here or there)

Vision's character development and prioritisation in the 70s came at the expense of Pietro. This one is true; Steve Englehart, for whatever reason, decided that as Vision and Wanda's relationship became more fully fledged and he was going to continue with Vision's minority coding, that Pietro was going to be an antagonistic and often allegorically racist person to give that dynamic more drama. This was fixed when Moondragon decided to lobotomise him because I guess actually writing character development was too much work, but it still means a solid chunk of Pietro's 70s appearance are marked by this. It's a shame, because I think there's a way to write this antagonism in a way that makes sense and is narratively fulfilling, but that's not the conversation at the moment. I do appreciate this as a reason of why some people have never quite worked with Vision (although given that this hasn't been true in the past 20, 30 odd years of publication history I find it strange as a reason to dislike modern Vision but I'm biased in this conversation)

Writers reduced Wanda to her relationship with Vision. This is, frankly, bullshit, and I really don't know where it came from. There's a slight argument for pre-Byrne Wanda and especially early 70s Wanda, but I can still name a few different issues during the period of their marriage where Wanda had her own adventure outside of Vision, and the thing is folks; Vision wasn't getting many solo appearances or stories during their marriage, either. Post Byrne, it really doesn't make sense. Wanda was reduced to her grief and her mental illness, yes, which were caused by the traumatic dissolution of her marriage to Vision, but that isn't the same as her being reduced to her marriage. Later on, what Wanda is reduced to is House of M and the Decimation; this has nothing to do with Vision. Sure, if you're reading Roy Thomas/Steve Englehart early 70s Avengers, maybe, but these are only two writers in a sea of people who have handled these characters, so this argument doesn't hold water for me.

Vision is abusive. Anyone who says this shouldn't be reading comics, they should be watching Blue's Clues. Vision can be mean, or blunt, or emotionally distant, or bitter–but that does not mean Vision is abusive, that means that comics exaggerate personality traits for the sake of drama. It's a soap opera! And to be honest, any argument you can apply to them can apply to virtually any comic relationship from the era. That's just the writing style, it doesn't mean that Vision is an abusive figure.

Vision made a robot version of Wanda, which was creepy and weird. True, but using a Tom King comic to talk about Vision is like using a Bendis comic to talk about Wanda. Neither of these writers had good intentions with these characters, or particularly cared about or respected them as characters and what they're meant to represent. Vision (2015) was a bad, deeply racist and xenophobic comic written by a CIA agent who admitted freely to torturing people as if it was a fun little tidbit. Unless you're using it to criticise Tom King's racism, I have zero interest in acknowledging this comic in the history of these two.

Vision's character comes at the expense of Jim Hammond and Simon Williams. I... don't see this one? Both the revelations that Vision had a relation to Jim and Simon came after their initial debut, and Vision is a distinct person and design from both these characters. Writers can use Jim and Simon whenever, and they often do. There is just that historical/familial connection, to try and build up connections in the Marvel Universe, but it isn't as if the character of Vision RUINED Jim and Simon, or whatever. In fact, Simon would have never been remembered and brought back from the dead to be honest without Vision keeping his character alive in the memory of people. The same is arguably true for Jim, who wasn't really used in post Timely marvel comics at all until the Vision connection was established. And if any character ruined Jim Hammond's prospects in comics, it would be Johnny Storm, the character who is considered the definitive Human Torch, not Vision, who only dedicated comic fans probably know of the Jim Hammond connection.

Vision cheated on Wanda with Mantis. A) no they didn't, B) Steve Engelhart just has a weird cheating thing, so I really don't consider this a big deal. Don't believe me? In the Fantastic Four: Big Town series he did, there's a moment where it is heavily implied that Hank Pym and Charles Xavier are having some kind of affair to contrast with the affair Janet and Tony Stark are having. It's just a quirk of his. Also, you can't blame Englehart for making everyone fall in love with Mantis, that's his girl.

Vision has no emotions and can't emotionally fulfil or love Wanda. Anyone who says this has probably not passed basic English class, because my G-d, how do you miss the point of a character that badly. Avengers #57 didn't die for this.

And finally, I think a lot of people only care about Wanda in relation to the Magetfam dynamic and aren't particularly interested in her realtionships on the Avengers at all, despite the fact that that is who she is far more than being an X-Man. They don't really like that she's on the "cop team", so any relation to it is dismissed or ignored in favour of her having more relationships with mutant characters. Every time Vision appears in a Wanda comic, despite the fact that they are the parent of her children, someone she spent years of her life with, her first proper love and someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, it has to be "forced", regardless of how ridiculous an idea that is. It's dumb, and stupid, and I don't think these people really care about Wanda as a character, but that's probably just me being a nasty little hater.

Runs and comics I recommend for this couple

Good or bad can be subjective; I've seen people read completely differently into a scene I thought was sweet, or creepy, or whatever, so I'll just send a list of what I consider good issues to get a handle on these two. Bolded are important, italics are just bonus issues that might be of interest.

Avengers V1 #91–#93

Avengers V1 #96

Avengers V1 #113

I (heart) Marvel AI <- AU issue, but cute

The Celestial Madonna arc (#124, #125, #129–#135, Giant Size Avengers #2–#4)

Avengers V1 #147

Marvel Team-Up V1 #41–#42

Marvel Fanfare #14

Marvel Fanfare #58 (Their house here is burned down in Avengers V1 #252)

Marvel Super-Heroes V2 #10

Vision and the Scarlet Witch V1 & V2, V2 also crosses over with West Coast Avengers V2 for the first 4 or so issues.

West Coast Avengers V2 #34–#36

What If? V1 #20, #38

West Coast Avengers V2 #42–#46 is the Vision Quest arc, and is the dissolution of their marriage.

Hope this helps, anon!

Warren Peace Rivals to Lovers Poll

For the Warren Peace x Reader, rivals to lovers.

Here's a fun one 😆

"Dislike" in the sense that they don't necessarily like it now, but they will later on.

I'm thinking about having the top 2 be included into the insert reader.

[sevensoulmates]

What's a character you were super into when you were like 12?

I had to sit and think about this genuinely because a lot of the people I was obsessed with when I was younger were real people? Like Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, James Maslow from Big Time Rush, etc. In terms of characters I've got a few from a few different age ranges:

Kid (8-12): Definitely Atreyu from The Neverending Story

This was my favorite movie as a kid and I had a huge crush on Atreyu. I thought he was so cool and adventurous but he had real internal issues of self-worth and when he was on the brink of giving up he had to learn to accept help and he loved his horse and his people so much. I'm still obsessed with The Neverending Story to this day and I have a copy of the book that has a cover with the Auryn on it, like the book Bastian steals from the bookshop. It's one of my prized possessions.

Teen: Warren Peace from Sky High

Once again, I had a big fat crush. I am one of those problematic people who find villains interesting, especially villains that are realistic (like bullies) (🍅🍅🍅 I KNOW!!) But LISTEN!! Bullies in fiction are interesting to me because (most of the time hopefully if it's well written) there's a good deconstruction of why they act the way they act and it usually boils down to hurt people hurt people and I find it fascinating IN FICTION. I'm highkey still obsessed with Warren Peace given that I wrote a whole YA MM Contemporary Romance original fiction book inspired heavily by him.

And the last person I could think of being obsessed with as a teen is Kat Stratford from 10 Things I Hate About You BUT!!! specifically the version played by Lindsay Shaw (before she was problematic) in the ABC Family/Freeform TV series adaptation.

I was obsessed with her for so many reasons. I thought she was gorgeous, I loved her style! I loved her HAIR! She's probably the first and only fictional character that I was directly inspired to copy what she wearing. It was like a cross between stylistic punk/goth/skater girl aesthetic. I wasn't hugely attached to the original 10 Things I Hate About You, but I liked this version of Kat better (but I'm biased so take that with a grain of salt). I also had a big fat crush on her love interest in this series as well (so them together I was like 🥵). We only had this show for one season (and the ending was a cliffhanger that I'm STILL salty about!!!) but I will forever love this show.

byebyelemonpie's may 2023 recommendations

My may top 5 movies:

Kung Fu Panda trilogy (2008, dir: Mark Osborne, John Stevenson; 2011, dir: Jennifer Yuh Nelson; 2016, dir: Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Alessandro Carloni) [Rewatched the first two after a decade and watched the third for the first time] Listen, I don't know what happened to me or to the world that made me uninterested in these movies somewhere between the second and the third one, but I'm glad that went away because these are actually really good. Like, the animation, the aesthetic, the story: they're all great and enjoyable, and a lot of fun! -

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018, dir: Ol Parker) [Rewatch after five years] The songs are still bangers and a lot of fun, even though this is way more sad than the first one. Wacthing it with friends is even better! -

13 Going on 30 (2004, dir: Gary Winick) [Rewacth after seven years] Still a cute and fun rom-com. The time-travel and the moral consequences of a 13 year-old in her own older body are never even thought about, but that's probably for the best, because I genuinely enjoyed it as a kid, even though I didn't want to grow up. -

Sky High (2005, dir: Mike Mitchell) [Rewatch after more than a decade] Just okay, I remember liking this a lot as a teen, but never seeing it again. Loved the whole character of Warren Peace, his name and his backstory and to be honest I wish the whole thing would have been about him. But still not that bad! -

So I Married an Anti-Fan (2016, dir: Kim Je-young) [First time watch] No idea how I found this, but it was pretty fun. I haven't really written anything on my notebook about it other than "not that bad", and all the letterboxd reviews are about this k-pop idol whom I don't know, I'm so sorry.

Favourite series in may:

Spy x Family (Japan, 2022) [First time watch; anime] A spy needs to infiltrate the family of an important political figure to stop the war between the two prominent regions of his nation, but to do so, he needs to have a wife and a daughter. He finds them in a secret assassin and a mind reader respectively. This anime is so much fun!! It's hilarious and even heartwarming at times. I decided to read the manga as well because I fell in love with the characters so fast. -

Ted Lasso - season 3 (USA, 2023) [First time watch] This series has been a very nice comfort show since I started season 1 last year. I loved how everyone had a character development and I very much enjoyed the positivity and feeling of hope throughout the series and especially in the end. -

Schmigadoon! - Schmicago (USA, 2023) [First time watch] This musical series is still one of the most innovative around and I LOVE the songs and the references to the musicals it parodies. I think I might have enjoyed this second season more than the first because I like more musicals from this era than the ones referenced in season 1. I still wish they will eventually make a thrid season, because if they manage to make parodies of all musical eras, they will have my whole heart, although this had a perfect ending, so I am conflicted on this. -

Dark Blue Kiss (Thailand, 2019) [Rewatch after a year] This was the first Thai series I've ever watched, but I had overrated it, so I decided to revisit it with a better knowledge and some more place for comparison. It turns out that it's still pretty good! Pete and Kao's story and its stupid jealousy, their cute bickering, and Kao's will to come out to him mum but fear of rejection is still very well done. Their breakup phase is still so sad! New's little pouty face should be enough to make people forgive him, especially when Kao didn't do anything outwardly terrible. The communication problem in this couple is still annoying, but the last scene makes up for everything and they have my heart. I'm not the greatest fan of the second couple - when a lot of fans would say the opposite - but I still love fellow Pokémon Go fan Mork and I still think he deserves better, I'm not sorry. -

Quacks (UK, 2017) [First time watch] As usual, six-episodes-long British sitcoms that are about specific time periods were cancelled after one season, and so was this gem. This series was about several doctors working at a Victorian hospital and trying new ways to cure patients. It was very interesting other than pretty funny.

talon is the third to last child of the romero family, the younger end of the middle. because of this, most of his half-siblings were halfway or already grown by the time he was born.

in early childhood, talon didn't really socialize with anyone other than his siblings and his books. he had some understanding of his family's reputation, but only enough to know most people thought he was just another person to be wary of.

a middle school talon often wondered who his father was, if he had a family just as large as the romeros out there somewhere who didn't know about him. he learned to internalize this after mary-beth showed no interest in revealing his father or if he even knew talon existed. still booksmart, he was also known to get into fights at school when provoked about his family.

in high school, he was much less prone to being provoked, but still wore the tough outsider kid reputation. he made a close group of friends and even fell in love. perhaps the romeros were not so cursed after all.

a few weeks before graduation, lying on a third-story rooftop with his girlfriend of two years mandy, they discussed their future, going to community college, transferring to WVU for a couple years, and returning to open his own local bookstore. instead, his dreams came to a swift halt as mandy lost her balance and fell off the roof to her death.

despite having been lying on the roof and not even touching her, talon blamed himself for her death. this was only worsened by someone starting a rumor that he must have pushed her. he skipped his diploma walk, stayed in the back of her funeral, and ditched town shortly after.

unsure what to do with himself, talon used dna test results he'd done a few months prior and managed to find his half-brother in florida, who introduced him to his birth father. or... at least, tried to. hector valencia had no interest in bonding with or acknowledging his son he'd never known existed.

talon ended up rooming with his half-brother luis and luis's fraternity brother oliver. it was meant to be a temporary situation, as talon was desperate for finding an income far away from either his hometown or his birth father, but talon was just desperate enough to agree to oliver's methods for "quick cash".

the jobs started out innocuously enough, mostly dropping off oliver at sketchy locations and driving them both home. easy enough. one of oliver's connections even managed to hook talon up with a job at the local mechanic shop. eventually, the jobs grew more dangerous, and talon became well aware he was playing "getaway driver", but at this point he didn't much care.

about a week ago, oliver didn't show up, and talon tracked him down only to discover he'd been shot, a deal gone wrong. he'd refused to go to the hospital, and despite talon's attempts to help, he was too late. he realized how this looked, yet again. if he called for help, he'd be blamed for his involvement, and there was nothing left anyone could do for oliver, so he ran.

no idea where he was going, talon eventually found himself in west virginia, where he hadn't stepped foot in 15 years. feeling just nostalgic enough to drive through town on his way north, talon soon discovered... there was no way out?

generally has no desire to get close to anyone as he feels people who get close to him have a mysterious way of meeting an untimely end.

is still set on leaving town, it hasn't settled yet that this is an impossible task.

currently works as a firefighter.

reuben elian valencia was the only child born to valentina valencia. valentina had never believed in the supernatural, at least not in terms of vampires and werewolves and witches. with no belief in anything spiritual either and no particular moral values, valentina had no qualms about conning people out of their money as a pretend psychic. upon meeting a handsome man, she even went so as far as to hit on him by telling him his fate involved meeting a beautiful stranger under magical circumstances. he was entertained by her lies and they’d had a one night stand which ended in reuben being born. he also decided to feed on her without compelling her to forget. to be fair, he had asked permission to bite her...

for reuben’s early childhood, valentina declined quickly. no one believed the woman who lied for a living that she’d been attacked by some sort of demon and now also carried his child. she believed reuben to be some sort of punishment for her crimes against a mystical world she had ignored and mocked for years and kept him only as a form of penance. whenever he’d ask about his father, valentina would inform reuben his father was a devil who had cursed their family and he should never ever speak of him. 

a middle school aged reuben took this figuratively for the most part, assuming his father had simply walked out on them and filled his mother with hatred. that is, until he started seeing visions of terrible events at age fifteen. he went to his mother, confiding in her that he had recurring nightmare-like thoughts of his high school girlfriend dying whenever they were at school. his mother decided this must be part of the curse, to give her son the gifts she never had in a twisted way like this, that reuben must be cursed to destroy everything he loved with advance knowledge. reuben still didn’t believe her until said girlfriend actually died exactly as he’d seen, a random attack on the street. eventually, he lost his own mother as well. 

twenty and armed with nothing but an apparent curse and the name hector ozuna, that proved to be an occasional alias of his sperm donor, reuben eventually found his way to valdez, alaska. here, he found not the man he’d been hunting down, but a half-sibling named anny perez. after his years of research in high school and on the road after, he’d learned that he was some sort of vampire hybrid; a theory that turned out to be true when he snuck into a hospital to see if a blood bag had any sort of effect on him. with anny, he was determined to help her gain control as he learned himself. 

occasionally goes by ben. only if he likes you. he likes no one. ... maybe call him reuben.

still uses blood bags from local hospital instead of feeding on people. 

0 kills, but has nearly killed someone once: a human doctor who interrupted him during his first feeding. 

generally avoids everyone except his inner trio of friends

reuben believes that dhamphirs and nephilim are mostly left abandoned and tossed aside, and has some sort of desire for vengeance against most vampires and angels, if not other supernaturals in general. he does not really identify with other supernaturals but also avoids getting close to humans.

top 5 theme songs:

go to war - nothing more

I don't know what you had in mind, but here we stand on opposing sides. We arm ourselves with the wrongs we've done. Name them off one by one, let's go to war.

destructible - siiickbrain

Oh, oh, I see shadows, and they're in my window. Feelings I've never known. So cold, midnight graveyard. Oh, oh, I'm gone again. Every time my heart's under attack,  I slam my skull into a wall.

empty - letdown 

You don't know the hell I've been through. You don't know the price I paid. You can't see the walls I'm bracing, time I'm facing all my days. Every bit of man I once was. Every bit of love that I could have. Setting into motion All the other fear I had.

devil doesn’t bargain - alec benjamin 

The devil doesn't bargain It's useless, don't do this It's hubris to try He's ruthless, you knew this I can see that you're sure You can change him but I know you won't He'll only break your heart again It isn't worth it, darling He's never gonna change He'll never be Prince Charming He'll only do you harm.

PLATONIC:

INNER TRIO - { 1 / 2 } - kay morgan, tba - the only two people reuben would call his friends outside of his sister. he thinks them rather illogically outside of his abilities somehow, as they are hybrids like him and he’s never once had a vision involving either of them. ride or dies. 

FRENEMIES - { 2 / 3 } - avery danuil, probably reserved for derek shaw, tba - despite not wanting to have any new friends, he sure does seem to spend plenty of time pestering them for his own amusement.

ROOMMATES - { 1 / 1 } - roxanne sinclair

FRIENDS -  { 0 / ? } - jasper is often known to hang out with other rich, arrogant, important people in town, but also has maybe one or two friends that don’t fit into any of those categories that he likes to keep separate from his regular life.

ACQUAINTANCES - { 0 / ? } they’ve met before around town, he fixed their car, etc.

CO-WORKERS - { 0 / ? } - others who work at gutierrez auto

ANTAGONISTIC:

ENEMIES - { 0 / ? } - did he sleep with their ex/significant other/sister/them and now they hate him? did his general arrogant and careless disposition start it? the possibilities are endless

TABLE THIEF - { 1 / 1 } - avery danuil - a special place in his empty heart is reserved for being irritating by avery danuil and her incessant need to glare at him and her nose crinkle when she’s annoyed that is definitely not cute at all. 

ROMANTIC:

FRIENDS W BENEFITS - { 0 / 2 } - probably a current friend with benefit and maybe a former friend with benefit who wanted something more but he refused? no romantic feelings involved but he’s probably more charming towards them than others.

OTHER - feel free to hit me up with any other ideas you have as well !

How to Buy a Flat in 2024: A Comprehensive Guide for First-Time Buyers

source: Freepik

Welcome, prospective homeowners, to the thrilling path of buying your first property in the ever-changing real estate market. As the great entrepreneur and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie once observed, "Ninety percent of all millionaires become so by owning real property." While not everyone aspires to be a millionaire, the idea remains the same: real estate investment. With that said, it is also important to note that the purchase of a flat is an important step towards financial stability and security. In this guide, we will delve into the flat-buying process, providing you with the knowledge, insights, and wit you need to confidently navigate the market's complexity.

Let us not forget another goal of this journey: to find a place to call home. Whether it's a cozy studio flat in the center of the city or a spacious penthouse overlooking the skyline, the quest for a flat goes beyond bricks and mortar; it speaks to our deepest needs for security, belonging, and fulfillment. So, as we commence on this voyage of flat-buying, let us approach it with awe, curiosity, and, most importantly, the steadfast belief that the best is still to come.

1. Set A Budget

As we approach this critical decision, it's worth considering Eleanor Roosevelt's words: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Indeed, acquiring a flat is more than a transaction; it is a manifestation of our future dreams - a sanctuary where memories are built, aspirations are realized, and lives unfold. Before diving headfirst into the world of flat-hunting, it's essential to establish a realistic budget. As the iconic investor Warren Buffett famously remarked, "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." Consider aspects such as your income, savings, and potential loan options to determine your purchasing power and explore a comprehensive mortgage calculator to estimate your potential monthly payments.

2. Research the Market

In today's dynamic real estate world, characterized by innovation, technology, and shifting trends, embarking on this journey necessitates more than just financial acumen; it necessitates a keen eye for opportunity, a discriminating sense of aesthetics, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.

In the words of the legendary investor Peter Lynch, "Know what you own, and know why you own it." Conduct comprehensive research on the real estate market, including ongoing trends, price fluctuations, and emerging developments. Leverage online resources, consult with experts, and attend property exhibitions to gain valuable insights.

3. Choose the Right Location

The significance of choosing the right neighborhood cannot be overstated. Consider factors such as proximity to facilities, transportation links, and future development plans when selecting the location for your flat.

4. Select a Reliable Developer

In the realm of real estate, professional builders play a key role in shaping your buying experience. Look for reputable companies in your area with a track record of completing high-quality projects on time and within budget. For example, if you live in Karachi, look for reliable builders and developers in Karachi to ensure your hard-earned money is invested in the right place. 

5. Inspect the Property

Before committing to a purchase, it's crucial to conduct a thorough inspection of the property. Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes and scrutinize every nook and cranny for potential issues or inconsistencies. Engage the services of a professional inspector if necessary to ensure peace of mind.

Visiting the property helps give you an idea of the quality of construction, the attention to detail, and whether the builders have followed the necessary safety standards and guidelines. More importantly, it gives you a better sense of its layout, condition, and overall atmosphere.

6. Understand the Legalities and Documentation

As the legal maxim goes, "Ignorantia juris non excusat" - ignorance of the law excuses no one. Acquaint yourself with the legalities and documentation involved in property transactions, including title deeds, ownership rights, and contractual agreements.

7. Negotiate the Deal

Approach negotiations with a clear understanding of your priorities and objectives. Don't be afraid to negotiate terms that align with your best interests. Never lose hope if you can’t get what you had set your eyes on, there will always be a better place, a better deal out there for you. Keep searching, and never give up on what you want!

8. Secure Financing

As the ancient Chinese proverb states, "Dig the well before you are thirsty." Secure financing for your flat purchase well in advance to streamline the buying process. Explore loan options, compare interest rates, and ensure you have the necessary funds available. Financial stability will help you secure your future. If you are financially sound, then investing in a property can be your biggest asset. 

9. Consider Future Prospects

Look beyond the present and consider the future prospects of the property. Assess factors such as potential for appreciation, rental yields, and long-term viability to make an informed investment decision. These decisions should never be taken lightly!

10. Seek Professional Advice

It is advised to seek help from experienced real estate experts, financial advisors, and legal authorities to navigate the flat-buying process with confidence and clarity. Don’t make hasty decisions, take the time you need, figure out what best suits you and then take your decision. 

Final Thoughts

Buying a flat in 2024 can be a major milestone for first-time buyers. By following the tips outlined here, prospective buyers can navigate the complex process with confidence. From understanding finances and uncovering priorities to researching neighborhoods and choosing the right property, each step is vital in making an informed decision. 

Remember to consider aspects such as location, amenities, and future resale value. Moreover, seek expert advice when needed, from real estate agents to financial advisors. Ultimately, buying a flat is not just a financial investment but also a decision that shapes your life and future. With careful preparation and planning, thorough research, and patience, first-time buyers, as well as pros, can productively navigate the market and find their dream home in 2024.
