In Front of the Lens: Our Engagement Session in the Fall Leaves

Stepping in front of the lens for my engagement photos was both exciting and humbling. As a photographer, I’m usually behind the camera, guiding others into feeling comfortable. This time, being on the other side, I got a new perspective on what my clients experience: the nerves, the vulnerability, and the challenge of being natural. We turned our session into a date day, exploring Butterfield Canyon, enjoying the stunning fall colors, and embracing silly moments to capture our love authentically. This experience reminded me how important it is to have a photographer who’s been in the same spot—someone who understands the balance of guidance and letting go. We laughed, posed, stumbled, and even managed a few goofy shots, which ultimately made our gallery feel real and personal. Now, I can truly say that the best photos come from just being ourselves and focusing on the love we share.

warnings | lots of marriage talk, utah mom/white christian fall girl aesthetic slander

[16:40] “i’m gonna marry the fuck out of you one day.”

jeonghan’s abrupt and out of pocket statement catches you off guard and you snort loudly. “okay, casanova. why don’t you actually try asking me out on a proper date first.”

your best friend stuffs his mouth with another spoonful of the lasagna you just made him.

“i’m being serious. if your cooking is this good every single day, i might have to marry you. how does a june wedding sound?”

you placed a finger on your chin, pretending to ponder the endless possibilities of seasonal weddings as you stood behind the kitchen counter. your apron was tied snugly around your waist and your cheeks were still warm from the heat of the stove you had just been using.

“i’ve always been a fall person rather than summer…” you saw jeonghan’s eyes shine with an indecipherable glint.

“no…. baby….. please don’t tell me you’re into the white utah mom aesthetic,” he paused, then continued after a small gasp. “or the white christian fall girl aesthetic? ohhh god, i’m marrying a fiend.”

you burst into laughter when jeonghan buried his head in his hands as if he had just received news that his favorite cranberry sprite was to be permanently discontinued.

“i never said yes, loser. wouldn’t my opinion matter concerning my own wedding?” you approached jeonghan, untying your apron as you went. he leaned against the island, pressing his empty spoon against his lips as his eyes intently watched you move across the room.

“okay, then what about a september wedding? too early?”

you swatted jeonghan’s side with the wadded up apron you had in hand as you walked past him. “you’re getting way too ahead of yourself, han.”

he shot you an offended look, his jaw dropping and his eyes blown wide, as if you had accused him of murdering baby kittens. “way ahead of myself? why, you don’t wanna marry me?”

“aren’t there a million things for you to do before even considering putting a ring on my finger?” your tone was light and you were speaking in a joking manner, but some part of you wished jeonghan seriously considered you as more than just a friend. you knew this was all just a joke to him. this was just his way of playing with you. “besides, how are you so sure of yourself?”

“hm? what do you mean?” jeonghan slipped his arm around your waist, strong enough to stop you in your tracks but gentle enough for you to push past him if you really wanted to.

you didn’t. so you stayed in place, trying your best to ignore the warmth of his arm against the thin fabric of his your shirt.

jeonghan gazed at you with a serious look in his eyes—a sight rarer than him not stealing your fries to see if ‘they tasted good enough for you.’

“i mean…” your tongue darted out to nervously lick your lips. “how are you so sure of yourself? what makes you think i’ll say yes?”

he shrugged. as he did, a piece of hair shifted and fell onto his forehead and your fingers itched to put it back to place. “i’m the only one you’ve got.”

your mouth dropped open in almost offense. “did you just call me bitchless?”

he quirked a brow at you. “if the boot fits.”

you could see that jeonghan was clearly enjoying himself with the way the corner of his lips danced and struggled to stay neutral as his eyes studied yours.

“you’re being mean…” you mumbled. jeonghan silently laughed as he watched you pout, his shoulders shaking. when he finally stopped, jeonghan looked at you with an unreadable look in his eyes.

“and you’re being clueless.”

“you’re being—! huh?” you paused mid-sentence, confused as to what your best friend meant by calling you clueless. “what do you mean clueless?”

jeonghan stepped forward, causing you to stagger backwards. one foot after another, this slow chasing movement continued until your back was pressed against the marble counter of the kitchen and his arms were caging you on either side of you.

“what do you think it means?” when you didn’t respond, jeonghan pressed you further. there was a teasing lilt in his voice that told you he was enjoying this. “what do you think it could possibly mean, [name], hm?”

your eyes drifted to jeonghan’s lips for a split second. it wasn’t your fault! he was standing inches away from you and it was like his lips were screaming for your attention. you swore it was for a split of a split second, but jeonghan, that little shit, somehow caught that. he smiled and stepped a little closer.

“my lips are flattered by the attention, but they’re starting to feel a bit objectified. care to apologize?”

a wave of heat crept up your neck, painting your ears red at the notion of getting caught staring. “s-“

“mm. too late,” jeonghan pressed his finger against your lips, as if to shush you. “they’ll only settle if you give them one thing. or else you’re going to be contacted by their lawyer.”

“oh, really? what could the settlement be?” crossing your arms over your chest, you watched jeonghan as he playfully rubbed his chin with his fingers in consideration.

“i think you already know,” jeonghan shot you a knowing look. “don’t make me bring patricia and have her say it.”

patricia was the hand puppet he invented back in high school when he wanted to convince you to do something stupid with him, like skipping class. or jumping over the school wall and spraining his ankle.

“lord, have mercy.” you muttered breathlessly.

jeonghan barked out a short laugh before grabbing you by the waist, tugging you closer. his eyes never left yours. “you have no idea how long i’ve been waiting for this.”

as your lips finally met jeonghan’s, after years and years of pining, it was everything you imagined and more. your fingers gripped your best friend—now lover’s shirt tightly when he pulled away with a bright smile on his face. jeonghan’s forehead rested on yours and he pressed a soft kiss on the tip of your nose.

“i’m going to marry the fuck out of you one day.”

Jeff: Yeah, I haven't either.

Jeff: Or as I like to call it, the announcing of Jensen's nine million shows. That was cool. I went home that night, or back to the hotel or whatever and Norman - I was with Norman - and he was like, tell me about this Jensen. 'Cause he's got the world by the balls. And I'm like, I know. And he's like, is he married? I'm like, are you asking for yourself?

Jared: Did Norman want Jensen to have Norman by the balls as well?

Jeff: Yeah, I've never seen Norman, like, really jealous. And I gotta say - he just was - he wouldn't stop talking about ya. I had to pull out a picture of Danneel and say he's not available!

A new game of "did I not post this or is Tumblr's searching dogshit" - anyway!

Pod 148 - Lloyd

The program was meant as humanity’s last ditch effort. Shuttles sent to major cities, their trajectory set to sail among the stars. The Redeemable stood tall in the remains of Cardiff, all gleaming steel and pristine paint, a sore thumb in the midst of the rubble. Passes were issued to those considered Welsh enough, those who would represent what was left of the country. Mared had fought for one for her daughter; despite being a member of the Senedd, it was decided that her strange half-American offspring was not meant to make it. Now the child stood motionless in the pod beside her mother’s, suspended in time as the frost slowly took over the glass. The father stood outside, firmly set on Earth, preparing to wave the departure of his family to God knows where. Never to be seen again. Lloyd had worked with him briefly, both fiddling with last minute electrical checks, making sure everything ran smoothly. He didn’t ask his name, but knew he still managed to make good coffee despite the End and wore his wedding ring around his neck so it could lay against his heart. They spoke of the sports teams they pretended to be interested in, swapped old family recipes, and held each other as their impending doom drew closer. Now Lloyd stood on the ship as the technicians set up his own pod, looking back at his short term friend.

The pod was like a coffin. Barely padded, a metal rectangle filled with wires attached to an arm to the wall. His shoulders brushed the sides, a little too wide for them to hold him right but it was too late to back out. Stomach churning, he couldn’t help but think of his father back at home, the man whose space he had taken. It was easy. Lloyd had been greying since he was fourteen, wide streaks of white parting his dark brown hair. Tall, broad, with the same farmer’s tan that marked every other man in his family. Old John was sick, a fact he had kept to himself right up until the day he was meant to set off to Cardiff. They wanted workers, strong and fit, to shoot into the vast ocean of space, and Old John was neither. He assured Lloyd that he’d never make it out there, pressed the pass into his hand as his older brother watched in disdain, and sent him off.

Mared had given him a lukewarm bottle of water, sat him down when she suspected he wasn’t his father. They spoke. She understood. She told him that if she could, she would have let her husband take her place, all the while watching as the man played with his daughter one last time, swinging her in circles as the girl laughed, giddy with excitement of the unknown. Neither parent told her that it would be the last time she would see her father.

“It’s cruel,” she had explained, “but if it means she lives, I would have given her my spot. I would have done anything.”

The girl’s name was Lucy, but she liked being called Luka and loved wolves and proudly proclaimed that she’s a big girl now. She was six, with gaps in her teeth she had yet to feel self conscious about, her hair a mass of untameable curls that she refused to let her mother touch. She was going to be an electrician just like her dad, was going to play football professionally, and was going to own an animal sanctuary in Utah one day, despite barely knowing what a Utah was. When the sun started to set, Mared let her exhausted, panting daughter climb into her lap, hiding her face in Mared’s wheat blonde hair as she let her mother stroke her back in small circles.

Before she stepped into her coffin, after sending her daughter to what might be their death, she gave him a small wobbling smile and a stiff nod that he returned.

It was cold in the pod. An oxygen mask now strapped over his mouth, all plastic and greasy rubber clinging to his damp skin. Around him the metal beast rumbled impatiently. The smell of smoke hung in the air, coming through the miles of tubes running through the ship. He felt weightless, still awake in his cage as they took off. The tubes tickled his skin, threatening to remove the needles set deep into his arms, pouring a liquid that meant to keep him alive through cryosleep. Technicians stopped bustling, strapping themselves to seats to observe, even if it meant their lives in the long run. Lloyd’s heart refused to beat into a panicked flutter, remaining slow and steady despite everything. Though his heart was calm, his mind was a furious flurry of regret. His brother, Iestyn, would have jumped at the chance, if he had only been offered. If Old John didn’t take favourites. They wanted farmers and got Lloyd, the youngest son of a youngest son who didn’t even have a driver’s licence yet. Too young, yet old enough to pass as his father to those not paying attention.

In the final moments, as the shuttle threatened to leave their atmosphere, as Lloyd’s eyes finally began to drift closed, he thought of Mared, some welsh senator he never voted for but had shown him kindness in their final days, of Luka who was far too young to die on a destitute planet or in the confines of space. But most of all he thought of the future; the flickering amount of hope he forced himself to have, even as his heart slowed to a stop.

The First Night

<3

That night, that small portion of the night, was magic.

The small round table was covered by a white cloth, adorned with roses and candles, and furnished by glass cloches and plates, a bottle of wine and two gold-rimmed glasses. It wasn’t anything big. Cosy would be a better word.

The lighting was mesmerising, the reflection of the candles on the glass shone in River’s green eyes. The Doctor wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her shoulder.

“Do you like it?” He asked, River still watching the display of lights and food.

She dropped her eyes down on him, sharing a soft smile of delight and chuckled, “I’ve seen better.” The Doctor raised his eyebrows in amusement and lifted his head to place a sweet kiss on her cheek. The night felt quiet, just four hearts and a candlelit dinner with the best view in the galaxy.

And how can one be expected to eat dinner after witnessing magic?

“I’m hoping this is still your favourite bottle?” He opened the bottle of Coralee wine and poured it in her glass before doing the same with his.

“You drink now?” River asked before dipping her finger in and tasting it.

“Well, I always have, really. I just couldn’t tolerate it for a while.” They smiled at each other, River let out a soft chuckle. The Doctor thought back to his fourth incarnation on Tara and drinking with himself on Gallifrey. River, on the other hand, had something else on her mind.

She laughed, “That’s one way to say it. Remember in Utah when…” Her smile faded, silence fell. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said anything.”

As those words left, she averted his gaze and bit her lip in embarrassment. She instead watched her wine, bubbling as it swayed in the glass; not unlike how her stomach felt, twisting at the nauseating tension she brought to the room.

“No, River,” The Doctor placed his drink on the table and took her hand before it made its way to covering her face. His touch was so new, yet so familiar, the same bony fingers and warm comfort. Yet, as his hands caressed her skin, River felt a slight tingle, a quick cold on the back of her hand.

How did she not notice? This whole time,

“I’m the one who should be apologising for being such a horrible excuse for a husband.”

He was wearing a ring. A wedding ring. Their wedding ring.

Utah: I fReAkinG KnEw IT

~•~

Nevada blinked and watched with increasingly worried expression as Utah muttered to himself, staring at the wall in his office that was covered with scribbled on pages, some photos and a lot of red string.

"Utah??? You good there?"

"Whole week!"

"...w-whole week what?" Nevada flinched as dishevelled and frankly crazy looking Utah turned towards him, pinning him to the spot with just his crazied gaze alone.

"I had to suffer through two of them setting lawns on fire, flirting right in front of me instead of finishing the meetings and Gov mysteriously coming back covered in red substance back to the statehouse in the middle of the night. Heck!!!! WE ALL HEARD THEM FLIRT AN HOUR AGO IN THE MEETING ROOM!" Utah turned back to his conspiracy wall, shaking with what seemed to be explosive cocktail of tiredness and anger "AND YET EVERYONE DISMISSED IT?!"

"W-well to be fair it's hard to imagine-"

"PENNSYLVANIA AND VIRGINIA WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM MAKING OUT JUST FEW DAYS AGO"

"They could have been joking?"

"WHY THE F U C K WOULD THEY JOKE ABOUT THAT?!" Utah look ready to commit murder and Nevada didn't really want to give him ideas on who to murder considering there was only two of them in the room right now.

"Right, you may be right but look at it that way, you are sleep deprived and twitchy enough your wife would replace you wit-" he stopped the joke seeing Utah eyelids twitch violently"-nevermind, point is how about I drive you back to your houses you can relax and nap there instead of being stuck here going a bit cray cray?"

Utah seemed to be considering Nevada offer for a bit before stiffly nodding. Without another word he shoved most of his stuff into his bag and approached Nevada jerkily nodding at him to lead the way.

Cheering oh the inside for the small victory. Nevada confidently strolled out of Utah office just to stop in his track and blink rapidly at

"California? What the fuck are you wearing?"

"Hm? Oh this old thing? I thought the red dress may go well with those shoes and because it's a dinner I matched it with that fancy-"

"Not what I meant-but good pairing, I would have went with different eyeliner but it does work for you-I meant more like why?"

"Oh that's easy, diner with husband"

Nevada didn't need to turn around to be able to know that Utah looks 5 seconds away from either murder or complete break down.

"Uh huh like husband as in friend and their husband or?"

".. I mean like my husband, I haven't spent half my salary on making our rings for nothing you know?"

Nevada blinked as he finally spotted the wedding ring adoring California finger. Before he could question California or himself further there was loud honk coming from outside.

"That must be Gov! I see you two tomorrow!" California winked and went off downstairs, not one to miss the drama Nevada dragged poor Utah after him with one hand whilst in the other he brandished his phone just in time to film Florida do a spit take at Texas face who didn't even acknowledge the scalding coffee as he seemed to have several personal revelations about himself at once.

Louisiana was halfway through drinking to avoid responsibility but choked on his daiquiri when the door opened to reveal handsomely dressed Gov who just looked unimpressed by the chaos happening in front of him. He looked ready to reprimand them but was successfully distracted by California planting a kiss on his cheek which seemed to set of another round of chocked noises, wheezes and rapid slams to the back.

"Cmon we have reservation to get to and I'm not wasting the hours I spend putting the outfit together" Cali tugged on Gov tie to get him back outside.

"If we miss it I will pull few strings-"

"Nope, no string pulling cmon off we go, bye guys!" with a quick wink and a wave California managed to drag Gov outside and towards the car.

"...."

". . ."

Louisiana coughs again, clearing his throat and wincing at the daiquiri he had wasted, patting Florida when he came over and buried his flaming red face into Louisiana shoulder.

Utah just looked very smug and vindicated. Without another word he went to his car to finally get back to his home.

Things that Georgia and the rest of the four corners doesn't know that New York and Colorado did in the 90s 

They bought double burial plots on a whim Colorado was depressed about being single, and "he said I'm never gonna fulfill my dream of buying double burial plots because were immortal and I can't die so I can't buy one"New York, looked at him and said"we can buy them. It would be a terrible thing to do mean there might be a people who actually need those burial plot that burial plot but we can buy a double burial plot if you really wanted to."so then they decided to buy a burial plot just to fulfill a dream. They agreed if they ever ended up getting married they were both married at the same time they would sell the burial plots, so because Colorado's not married, they can't sell them.

Later, when eventually they end up in relationships, they still keep it a secret, but they've paid off the burial plots. Sometimes they go over there to the burial pods and just sit down together maybe hang out do paperwork get high

 so after New York got married to Georgia, the sixth of them are hanging out they're talking about the craziest things they've ever done and Colorado accidentally lets the burial plot secret, slip out  New York tries to cover it up but ultimately fails so the two of them go into another room discuss how they're gonna tell them New Mexico is very pissed off about this "all right explain "Georgia is also very upset about this, but not surprised. He honestly thought that New York probably bought already has had bought a burial plot for him and Rachel or just for Rachel "we did it on a whim, it was a 90s we were sad and single. He was sad and single. I was pretty content with being single I was still adjusting to the idea of taking off my wedding ring and we were discussing about the dream of buying double burial plots, because Rachel is buried by a tree in my backyard so we decided to buy a double burial plot to fulfill our dream, and if, and we agreed if both of us were married at the same time, we would sell it " after New York, explained the whole thing they're Colorado, New York, significant others all looked at each other and said at the exact same time"sell them we Are immortal What do we need with burial pots? Nothing."all four of them yelled at the same time

 Utah just assumes they were high when they came up with this idea eventually New York and Colorado sell the burial plots and go on one more picnic

 they have a marriage pack. Basically they made a pact that if neither of them were in a relationship by the time New York was 400 and Colorado was 150 they would just marry each other. If gay marriage was legalized by the time that happened obviously now they're both in relationships.

The two of them take their kids on a big family vacation with just their families like Colorado's kids in New York's children as well. They still do this it's just there's just a few more members Colorado's boyfriends don't go because Utah think of it as one of the things that he that, he they probably shouldn't intrude on

 they once open a singles club. Yes they had all the legal paperwork New York is rich as hell. This is also in the 90s they still own it to this day. It's actually really successful.

Curating a Cohesive Bridal Look: Coordinating Your Accessories

When planning your wedding day look, the dress often takes center stage. But while the gown is undoubtedly a key element, a truly memorable bridal ensemble goes beyond the dress.

Crafting a look that feels authentic to you is important and not just a “fairy tale moment.” You want to channel your personal aesthetic and elevate it so that it aligns with your style, engagement rings in Logan, Utah and wedding vibes.

Must-Have Bridal Pieces

According to Guest, there are two must-haves in any bridal ensemble: the dress and the shoes.

The gown usually steals the spotlight, but shoes have the power to complete your look. Shoes can either complement the dress or become a bold statement piece on their own.

Other essential pieces like your vintage engagement rings in Utah depend on your personal style and wedding type. Traditional brides will often opt for a veil and jewelry to round out their look.

The Importance of Accessories

Let’s take a look at how accessories are essential part of your wedding attire.

Veil

While veils are classic bridal accessories, more brides are opting for alternative headpieces like floral wreaths, decorative combs, or even hats. If you do choose a veil, make sure it complements the style and fabric of your dress.

Jewelry

Your wedding jewelry like moissanite engagement rings in Utah plays a pivotal role in completing your bridal look. If your dress has a high neckline, consider skipping the necklace and opting for bold earrings instead.

For heavily embellished gowns, keep your jewelry minimal to let the dress shine. Adding pops of color, like sapphire earrings or a blue topaz bracelet, can add an extra touch of personality when coordinated thoughtfully with other elements like shoes or bouquets.

In Conclusion

Regardless of your choices, remember that the key is to balance all elements, so your look feels cohesive, elegant, and uniquely yours.

I’m so curious to know what happened with Saoirse’s engagement ring? She wore it all the time last year but she hasn’t been wearing it anymore. She’s been wearing the claddagh ring instead, which tells us she still wants to wear something to show she’s engaged since she never used to wear any rings on that specific finger. But she isn’t wearing the actual ring for some reason. I want to know what happened that made her go from wearing it all the time to not wearing it at all. Btw, I think it’s probably a very mundane reason, I’m just curious about these things. At first I thought maybe she could be getting it resized even though it would be weird to wait that long to do it, I also considered she could have sent it to a jeweler to get a matching wedding ring so that she can wear both together (I don’t know how that would work since it’s so weirdly shaped). But it’s been way too long for any of those to have been the case? If she had worn it on and off before I wouldn’t be wondering this, but she didn’t even take it off to go hiking last year. I thought maybe she didn’t want to travel with it to Utah, but she took it to LA last year. I thought maybe she stopped wearing it once people caught on and wrote about the engagement, but that was in October and she still wore it to the Academy Gala in December. It’s something so unimportant but the sudden change and the fact that I can’t seem to find any logical explanation makes me want to know what’s going on even more. I’m the guy from the cork board meme

Maybe they got married civilly and she’s now wearing it on a necklace or something like that? They wouldn’t tell us if they did get married.

$a couple more battles one of them is down south it's in Brazil and it's over cocaine and it's nothing new but it is turning into a very big hot band foreigners are arriving and they're coming here to cover it if they're coming here and they are working and it is because of the bond making that the morlock are doing and it's because of the empire The empire is there fighting both but it's heavy fighting against morlock and big losses today and bigger tonight and it will be an ongoing war and also in Mexico over drugs they're really bonding to materials and they use this drugs and you should not because you explode into flames and we're really mad at Dave AKA Dan they did a good job we said because he doesn't like the stuff it really did not do anything for him he already has a lot of el dopa it doesn't need anymore he said I think I'm maxed out naturally to him he kind of said it out loud they said I don't think this stuff does anything is it doing anything to do they said yeah I think so I feel a little better and you said my nose hurts so guys start laughing yeah I'm kind of strange and it had a good laugh and his party and stuff and he had to escape it wasn't Dave but he kind of knew it was going on and had to help him escape and he said it sucked cuz these guys suck and they really do and it was not as father it was close and they got kicked out for being gay and yeah Jolene has been sighted she's over there in Jackson that's a Asians are moving in well she's in the west coast but he's driving a U-Hauls for real she's driving you holes that are converted and for real and she's working for a small company and she knows how much people it's working out she likes it and she thanks you and you think her is to work it's a job so there's a few more people she's be and you'll find out she says but we have to get to the battle

#besides the battle in Sarasota which is pretty big and we mean it the pseudo empire and more like are fighting and they're also fighting Max pretty heavy and they don't want them to make it it's not even a funny scene now it's what's going on. There is a battle near here it's in North fort Myers over an apartment that's Ken was in and he says he had a place for our son and our senses that's stupid he wasn't as Ken either and they're fighting over it still it's something else he thinks and it is and there's an object there it's a smaller one and that's right it's the wedding ring and it's near the mall in a jewelry store and you mentioned it tonight that he would get her the same ring and they're having a big fight I'm not laughing I'm kind of oddly nervous because there's such assholes and what they're saying is all this dumb s*** and what they really want to do is find jaleen Jolene okay and they want to try and pretend they're our son or something and it's really it's really gross and other people want to give it to their wives it's a famous ring and it is from a famous place where he said Hawaii area there are a couple other battles but that's nearby and it's getting hot and heavy all this stuff is being revived with the Vader and with the firebird more so and people are making the Vader Firebird it's not as famous as the new one and they're fighting over that and those people who are making the wide body kit for it they are in Los Angeles City and they have a name for it and it is the technical name for a firebird and no you call me at something and he would have no idea he says. 2024 that's funny but no so7 not really but somewhat and then he designations to it for what you happen for you have in it and things like that as a big war out there in LA over the people making it and there's three shops and they have new molds and that's what they want

-besides that things heated up over the Pontiac company there's a lot of people fighting over it and there is some new news about this company they are holding off off on selling it we expect they'll change because they're going to get the s*** kicked out of them and they're trying to defend the plants and it's John remillard and company and bja a few others and they're more lock and they're getting their ass kicked

#and he was mentioning something it's about the car in the Pontiac company and he said that the new car is going to come out with it you have to build it but the name is going to be naming it didn't even wondered how many cars there would be before they would have to start building new ones and it's going to be probably about 300 trillion and right now they're not doing many at all and another question are they fighting over Harley-Davidson and there's a new symbolism that that he figured out and how it applies and it's kind of strange it's like this:::

++you're riding a Harley-Davidson and you are a Harley Quinn and you're accused of controlling David's son which are considered to be kju as his human sons were killed off they survived by a slaughtering people and we're still somehow banished and they are going to be revived they say so in other words the people who own the company would have the majority of the Harley-Davidsons and they would be riding them and that's why the max are holding the company and not letting people ride them or drive them because that's what it means and they made it seem bad and because that's what they're calling people they're calling people who are like the enemy how Harley Quinn clowns but Harley is a short name for Charlie and Davidson is different and Charlie is like Charles like King Charles but no it doesn't have a reference to him they say. So now he says he's going to hold on to the company and he's going to get pummeled as it is he has three quarters of the company and he is getting beaten to hell by the pseudo empire number one who wants it and by the max occasionally and some foreigners they probably won't hold out for very much longer but we don't think that the pseudo empire can hold on to the company and we don't think that the max would sell at all to us and they're going to try not allow us to make the motorcycle Even in our areas and we are going to do that and we're going to start it up soon probably this week and if they try to stop us they're going to get hurt and we need the Intel need with your keys too to get in. And that will do very nicely it is going to be a war over this company because of what it means the same thing with the Vader car company and that is a particular company and we're going to show where that is

No, that’s a different video. I’m not the original anon but I saw the TikTok. It was a page posting the new Utah pics and people in the comments saying it’s a "wedding ring". One user pointed out though that it’s a regular signet ring.

As soon as I saw they were saying because he’s Eastern European and he could be wearing on his right hand to not draw attention I just had to gather my brain cells for a second lol but no there was no Kris Jenner at the end I would have laughed!

Uhhh Space Lore(Maybe)

Idk I just had fun with a very distant prequel to literally everything else I write. Going back to my roots of dystopia. Very unedited. A fun introduction to The Big Bad of like two books(have fun guessing who).

The program was meant as humanities last ditch effort. Shuttles sent to major cities, their trajectory set to sail among the stars. The Redeemable stood tall in the remains of Cardiff, all gleaming steel and pristine paint, a sore thumb in the midst of the rubble. Passes were issued to those considered Welsh enough, those who would represent what was left of the broken down country.

Mared had fought for one for her daughter; despite being a member of the Senedd, it was decided that her strange half-American offspring was not meant to make it. Now the child stood motionless in the pod beside her mother’s, suspended in time as the frost slowly took over the glass. The father stood outside, firmly set on Earth, preparing to wave the departure of his family to God knows where. Never to be seen again. Lloyd had worked with him briefly, both fiddling with last minute electrical checks, making sure everything ran smoothly. He didn’t ask his name, but knew he still managed to make good coffee despite the End and wore his wedding ring around his neck so it could lay against his heart. They spoke of the sports teams they pretended to be interested in, swapped old family recipes, and held each other as their impending doom drew closer. Now Lloyd stood on the ship as the technicians set up his own pod, looking back at his short term friend. The pod was like a coffin. Barely padded, a metal rectangle filled with wires attached to an arm to the wall. His shoulders brushed the sides, a little too wide for them to hold him right but it was too late to back out. Stomach churning, he couldn’t help but think of his father back at home, the man whose space he had taken. It was easy. Lloyd had been greying since he was fourteen, wide streaks of white parting his dark brown hair. Tall, broad, with the same farmer’s tan that marked every other man in his family. Old John was sick, a fact he had kept to himself right up until the day he was meant to set off to Cardiff. They wanted workers, strong and fit, to shoot into the vast ocean of space, and Old John was neither. He assured Lloyd that he’d never make it out there, pressed the pass into his hand as his older brother watched in disdain, and sent him off.

Mared had given him a lukewarm bottle of water, sat him down when she suspected he wasn’t his father. They spoke. She understood. She told him that if she could, she would have let her husband take her place, all the while watching has the man played with his daughter one last time, swinging her in circles as the girl laughed, giddy with excitement of the unknown. Neither parent told her that it would be the last time she would see her father. “It’s cruel,” she had explained, “but if it means she lives, I would have given her my spot. I would have done anything.” The girl’s name was Lucy, but she liked being called Luka and loved wolves and proudly proclaimed that she’s a big girl now. She was six, with gaps in her teeth she had yet to feel self conscious about, her hair a mass of untameable curls that she refused to let her mother touch. She was going to be an electrician just like her dad, was going to play football professionally, and was going to own an animal sanctuary in Utah one day, despite barely knowing what a Utah was. When the sun started to set, Mared let her exhausted, panting daughter climb into her lap, hiding her face in Mared’s wheat blonde hair as she let her mother stroke her back in small circles. Before she stepped into her coffin, after sending her daughter to what might be their death, she gave him a small wobbling smile and a stiff nod that he returned.

It was cold in the pod. An oxygen mask now strapped over his mouth, all plastic and greasy rubber clinging to his damp skin. Around him the metal beast rumbled impatiently. The smell of smoke hung in the air, coming through the miles of tubes running through the ship. He felt weightless, still awake in his cage as they took off. The tubes tickled his skin, threatening to remove the needles set deep into his arms, pouring a liquid that meant to keep him alive through cryosleep. Technicians stopped bustling, strapping themselves to seats to observe, even if it meant their lives in the long run. Lloyd’s heart refused to beat into a panicked flutter, remaining slow and steady despite everything. Though his heart was calm, his mind was a furious flurry of regret. His brother, Iestyn, would have jumped at the chance, if he had only been offered. If Old John didn’t take favourites. They wanted farmers and got Lloyd, the youngest son of a youngest son who didn’t even have a driver’s license yet. Too young, yet old enough to pass as his father to those not paying attention. In the final moments, as the shuttle threatened to leave their atmosphere, as Lloyd’s eyes finally began to drift closed, he thought of Mared, some welsh senator he never voted for but had shown him kindness in their final days, of Luka who was far too young to die on a destitute planet or in the confines of space. But most of all he thought of the future; the flickering amount of hope he forced himself to have, even as his heart slowed to a stop.

Where to Buy Gold Jewelry

1) A brief history of Gold.

a. Gold jewelry has been valued by humans since before ancient Egypt rose to greatness. Since gold appears in nature in its native state at a high level of purity, early humans would find gold nuggets in streams or in other deposits. Gold flakes have been found inside caves where prehistoric drawings adorn the walls suggesting that early humans discovered gold and valued it for its aesthetic qualities. Gold is a very noble metal. This means that gold can easily be formed by striking it into shapes or plates which then can be carved or turned into coins. Alexander the Great is said to have funded his campaigns using gold that his troops mined along the way in his travels. Ancient Egyptians covered sarcophagus and other items with gold to praise their gods and pharaohs. Fast forward to modern times and we are using gold not only for jewelry and coins, but for electronics, surgical implants, and other uses which exploit gold’s heat and electrical conductivity.

2) Gold Sources, Purity and Measurement.

a. Gold can be found in almost every country throughout the world. Gold is either found in alluvial deposits which are caused by rivers exposing gold deposits or in mining operations where large quantities of earth are moved and processed to extract gold. Gold naturally occurs in purities of 85% or higher. Gold is heavier than other minerals found around it and therefore it is easy to separate using water sluices. Once gold is separated from the minerals which surround it, it is refined using either a chemical method in which gold is dissolved in a solution called aqua regia, which is a strong acid solution, or it is melted along with mercury which causes impurities to concentrate in a layer of the melted gold which is called slag. Once the slag is removed, gold has been refined to 100% pure.

b. Gold is a very easy metal to alloy. This means it can be combined with other metals to achieve production goals which would make a harder metal or a metal of a different color. For example gold is alloyed with copper to make rose gold and with tin and silver to make white gold. Aside from this gold is also dissolved in solutions to create electroplating applications. These applications allow gold to be plated onto wire and for other industrial purposes.

c. In jewelry gold purity is defined by Karat. 24 karat gold is defined as gold which has 24 out of 24 parts made of pure gold. Pure gold is very soft and seldom used for jewelry as it is easy to bend and wears and scratches way too quickly. 18 karat gold, or gold which has 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts of something else, is commonly used to make high end jewelry. 14 karat gold or gold that is 14 parts pure gold and 10 parts something else, is also used to make jewelry as it is harder and more durable than 18 karat gold. Gold is measured in Troy Ounces. The old question what weighs more an ounce of gold or an ounce of feathers is actually a trick question. Gold is measured in Troy Ounces and feathers in Avoirdupois Ounces. There are 31.1 grams in a Troy Ounce and 28.35 grams in an avoirdupois ounce. Therefore the Troy ounce, the ounce of gold, is heavier than the avoirdupois ounce. Conversely, the troy pound is lighter than the avoirdupois pound. Thus making the pound of feathers heavier than the pound of gold.

3) Gold Stamps and Identification.

a. The Federal Trade Commission regulates the trade of precious metals and directs manufacturers on how to stamp and identify gold. In the United States an item must be 10 Karat Gold or higher karat to be called gold. Also, gold that is plated must be plated with 10 karat gold or better to be called gold plated. Gold jewelry fineness is identified by a stamp which tell you how pure the gold used in the piece is. 417 or 41.7 percent gold is 10 karat gold. 585 or 58.5 percent gold is 14 karat gold. 750 or 75 percent gold is 18 karat gold. Normally a piece is either stamped with a three digit number or the actual karat content, such as 14K. Jewelry which is gold plated or gold filled is stamped with a GP or GF after the karat of the gold. For example 18 KGF, denoting that this piece of jewelry was manufactured using 18 Karat Gold Filled. Gold filled jewelry is jewelry manufactured using a solid layer of gold which has been mechanically bonded to a base material such as silver or a base metal like pewter. Gold plated (GP) is when an electroplating method is used to deposit a very thin layer of gold onto silver or a base metal.

Where to Buy Moissanite

If you are not yet familiar with Moissanite, it is a gem-quality silicon carbide that is frequently mistaken for a diamond due to its similar appearance. However, it is important to note that Moissanite is not a diamond simulant, but rather a superior alternative that boasts exceptional fire and brilliance. Its exceptional hardness also makes it an excellent choice for creating heirloom-quality jewelry, as it is highly resistant to scratches, chips, and breakage. Furthermore, our Moissanites are expertly cut and polished to a higher standard than the majority of diamonds commonly found in engagement rings.

What if a gemstone existed that surpassed the luster, brilliance, and fire of a diamond? Moissanite is just that gemstone. Originally discovered in a meteorite, Moissanite exhibits the same captivating beauty that is so highly prized in diamonds, but it outshines them with even greater sparkle. Moissanite rings not only rivals diamonds in terms of their aesthetic appeal and durability, it surpasses them. The mesmerizing beauty, exceptional durability, and affordability of Moissanite make it an ideal stone for any occasion. Find moissanite engagement rings today.
