I mean I was mainly talking about his queerbaiting and how he treats women, sorry if I wasn't clear on that lol. He definitely has an inflated sense of self when it comes to his talent and star power. You were right on with that one but when it comes to him as a person, I wouldn't say hes insecure about it per se but he knows that it would be bad for business if it was confirmed that he was a womanizing fuckboi. So I do think he feels pressured to uphold an image that isn't real, you know? I hope that makes sense lol.
I agree that he's pretty honest in his music, although I feel like it's mainly him dipping his toes to see how much of himself he can reveal but still get away with. I also think his music is a bit skewed to make him appear remorseful, which I seriously doubt he gives a damn.
And IF he's ever felt a smidge of remorse for how he's treated the women in his life, it gets washed away by all the praise his fans give him. It's why he always has a smarmy grin whenever he's pretending to be chivalrous or giving relationship advice. He can be a jerk behind closed doors and still be called a precious gentleman and he doesn't even have to try that hard.
His song boyfriends is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Theres so much cognitive dissonance in his fandom it's insane. He's literally singing about himself in that song but his fans think he's either alluding to his supposed queerness and therefore the one getting played or he's a distant observer calling out other men for being trash 🙄
i honestly don't even think boyfriends is about himself, i don't think he has that degree of humility or self awareness. i do believe that song is meant to be about gemma's boyfriends or something like that. it's him seeing himself as a saviour of women judging other men for not being at his standards (lmao). he's such a fuckboy he actually thinks he's a good boyfriend and that other men aren't, also he wants his fans to see him like that.
i agree about the queerbaiting. but i think he feels that the way he dresses, the flag waving, the ambiguity, the movie role has actually helped queer people so he thinks he's actually doing a good job. in that variety or was it deadline piece his people put out after all the fuss where they said he did MP for his fans and their LGBT stuff, i was like, yeah, harry thought he was actually doing them a favor. he sees himself as an LGBT hero.
but yes, he does know it'd be bad for business if we all saw him as a fuckboy. remember that video of him in a car covered in like a jacket, next to xander and another white guy, and then in the car in front or behind were a bunch of giggling white women who looked like generic influencer types, their dates for the evening all matched up? and how that video got deleted? he works hard so we don't see what a dried up basic fuckboy life he leads.
i definitely think he lives in fear of being outed as a heterosexual dude. i do think he gets the sweats about it a bit, hence why he stopped doing all his MP promo after he managed to offend the entire gay community with all his weird backwards homophobic comments. and the way he deliberately said "i've never publicly been with a woman" in that RS interview, out of nowhere. because he thinks it's so teehee cute to keep playing up the ambiguity, likely because his friends have been telling him he's a queerboss by never admitting to being with a man or a woman in any interview yet (he has though, is the weird thing).

my adventure's with superman
saw it, thought it had the save voice actor for Lois as played Luz in the owl house (it's not the same) and really liked her design. watching it, damn i like these personalities. i've also grown to like superman more then i did. is he OP? yea, but that's now the draw of him, and a more fun universe is needed to make him enjoyable.
also het get a magical girl transformation which is just hilarious. suit is a bit too armour plated for my liking.
ah, he's so sweat with his parents. i'd seen clips from them trying to do it in other cartoons but it was always a bit stilted, and of course it was shit in man of steel. here's it's just very nice.
i probably shouldn't sympathise so much with the villain.
nope, i think i was mend to sympathise with her. and now we have found the "goodguys". you know, just like how belos was the benevolent leader.
who the fuck uses a blimp these days?!
you should not make the villains fucking cute together if you want me to see them fail!
i really like the banshee. damn she's probably never coming back is she.
"oh, he's a liar" genuinely had my laughing out loud. sorry Clark, this problem isn't over yet.
"now, shut up. i'm about to be nice" great line.
wow, they really made this guy the most unlikeable. treatning people, misogonist, general elon musk and like. truly the biggest douche canoe possible.
standard equipment should come with some needle and treat... yea i really should add that to my handbag. won't need it often, but man will i feel stupid if i could ever need it but then don't have it with me even though i know how to use it. need to look into how to store some treat though.
you can't give superman the :3 face!
you call your product the parasite... bit on the nose for a tech company don't you think?
the bad tech tyrant claims he build the company himself, because of course he does. also it's a white straight man, because of course he is. yea, i got opinions. sure, this is made by an equally big company, but at least calling out bs like this is the popular/normal thing to do.
it really plays into the threat to superman is collateral damage. also fuck yea Lois will fucking suckerpunch a fucker. i really like her personality and that they gave her so much stuff to do.
damn, ep4? that's fast. also really neat as it allows things to continue instead of stagnate, i'm really interesting what she'll do with it.
wow, that's the laziest debumker ever. just going "nah"? you have to give some evidence.
ok, really like that people don't just have one body types. a lady can also be jacked as fuck.
oh, it's her, because of course it's her. it really is impressive how she's so recognizable across series and forms of media.
damn, that's one hell of a way to end the episode, truly tearing shit apart.
so, they're just doing this trope exactly https://www.tumblr.com/moringmark/724550083360718848?source=share (the trope it's making fun of, not the subversion)
the weirdest sweat gay romance ever.

[ad_1] Walter Isaacson’s new biography of Elon Musk ought to make girls surprise: Why does society lionize males who he describes as “risk-seeking man-children who resist potty coaching”?  These phrases encapsulate a perplexing double commonplace: the willingness of society to not solely settle for however worship the audacious risk-taking habits of male billionaires equivalent to Tesla TSLA, +1.12% CEO Musk and Amazon.com AMZN, +2.13% CEO Jeff Bezos, whereas most feminine leaders are praised for conforming to expectations and steadying the ship when their firm is in disaster. The “untamed genius” halos over Musk, Bezos and others are deeply rooted in America’s lengthy admiration for mavericks who problem norms and revolutionize industries, attaining monumental success and affect typically on the expense of ethics or rationality. In distinction, when girls assume management roles, any signal of brashness or audacity is met with skepticism or censure. Males are forgiven for failures, that are seen as inevitable side-effects of risk-taking, whereas girls leaders are anticipated to fail — and get fired. Two notable instances that vividly illustrate this double commonplace are Marissa Mayer and Rosalind Brewer, each completed leaders of their respective fields.  Mayer, a seasoned government within the tech business, assumed the CEO function at Yahoo throughout a essential juncture. Her appointment aligned with the “glass cliff” phenomenon, the place girls are sometimes chosen for management positions throughout instances of disaster or vital challenges. Mayer confronted intense scrutiny and excessive expectations, highlighting the complexities and biases that ladies leaders confront, significantly after they step into high-profile roles throughout turbulent instances. Brewer, one other established government, was appointed the CEO function at Walgreens Boots Alliance WBA, -2.02% in the course of the peak of the Covid pandemic to steer the corporate out of disaster, one other occasion of the “glass cliff” phenomenon. What units Brewer’s expertise aside is the extra scrutiny she confronted as one of many few Black girls serving as CEO of a significant Fortune 500 firm, particularly inside a predominantly white and male-dominated boardroom. Brewer’s current departure as CEO leaves just one Black girl as a Fortune 500 CEO, and additional highlights the challenges girls of coloration face in prime management positions.  “ Many ladies really feel compelled to navigate inside the established order, oftentimes on the expense of their genuine voices and management types. ” The margin for error is notably narrower when girls assume management roles. Along with going through a double commonplace in risk-taking, girls in enterprise usually grapple with the expectation to adapt to established norms. This stress to suit into current company frameworks could be stifling, forcing girls to suppress their genuine selves and undertake extra masculine traits. Because of this, many ladies really feel compelled to navigate inside the established order, oftentimes on the expense of their genuine voices and management types. It’s just about unimaginable for girls leaders to get the anticipated steadiness proper between assertiveness and likability. Assertive girls are typically unfairly labeled as “tough” or “bitchy” or “bossy,” perpetuating dangerous stereotypes. When girls do assert themselves within the office, their actions are known as “aggressive”. This deters many ladies from talking up, contributing concepts, or taking daring steps in the direction of innovation that everybody would profit from. The gender disparities within the enterprise world sadly aren’t going away quickly. However conforming to unfair requirements and avoiding labels isn’t the best way to create change.Paving the best way for change Ladies who ascend to positions of energy acknowledge the profound duty that accompanies their management roles.
Past merely guiding their organizations, they take up the mantle of championing inclusivity, variety and fostering a balanced work surroundings. Their mission extends past private success; they’re devoted to reshaping enterprise tradition for generations to come back. These trailblazing girls perceive that reaching true progress means greater than merely emulating the patterns of male management. It calls for a considerate, deliberate strategy to dismantle outdated norms whereas concurrently providing equal alternatives. They understand that perpetuating the established order isn’t an choice. By advocating for insurance policies that promote equity and by offering platforms for underrepresented voices, they break via conventional obstacles and drive significant change. Moreover, these leaders acknowledge the ability of mentorship and advocacy. They actively hunt down alternatives to uplift and information different girls navigating their very own paths to success. By sharing experiences, information, and methods, they create a community of assist that empowers girls to excel in management roles. Advocacy is a key pillar of their strategy. These girls unapologetically assert their value, making certain that their contributions will not be simply acknowledged, however celebrated. They demand that their voices be heard, and their achievements acknowledged. In doing so, they problem the prevailing norms which have hindered progress for much too lengthy. Moreover, they actively domesticate allies who're genuinely supportive of their mission. Recognizing that change is a collective effort, they search out like-minded people who're dedicated to dismantling obstacles and fostering a extra inclusive work surroundings. Collectively, they kind a coalition that propels the trigger ahead, making a united entrance towards the deeply entrenched biases that proceed to persist within the company world. Harper Enterprise Breaking stereotypes By way of their devoted efforts, these girls leaders not solely break stereotypes but in addition go away an indelible mark on the standard enterprise panorama. They’re not content material with mere illustration; they’re pushed to redefine what management seems like, setting the stage for a future the place variety, equality, and genuine management will not be simply aspirational beliefs, however tangible realities. On the finish of the day, Musk is definitely not the function mannequin we would like for girls, however he ought to remind us that essentially the most uncared for girls’s proper is our proper to insurgent. Let’s have fun authenticity fairly than stifling it. Let’s take dangers. Let’s witness the groundbreaking concepts and transformative management girls will contribute after they defy norms and embrace their true selves. Let’s turn into the topic of the subsequent bestselling biography — one which’s not a couple of misbehaving man-child however a daring, unapologetic, inspiring girl. Lisa Carmen Wang is the writer of “The Bad Bitch Business Bible: 10 Commandments to Break Free of Good Girl Brainwashing and Take Charge of Your Body, Boundaries, and Bank Account” (Harper Enterprise, 2023). Extra: Some men may obsess about the Roman Empire. But what about the rest of us? Plus: Women just hit a C-suite record. But it may be harder for the next generation. [ad_2]

@defectivenightmares​ said: gimme me meg and kara sheridan for how to interact meme thingo pls
meg
Tumblr media
how to interact: meg tends to run in the upper echelons of society. she’s essentially got the job of tim cook/elon musk except y’know...she’s a middle aged white lady. so anyone who runs in those sorts of circles could work. or, if your muse is from a less hoity toity part of society, they could work for her. her best friend was the first lady and she has worked with the cia and various government agencies so any government-type muses would also work.
how they’d get along with your muses: i think she’d get along really well with kalinda, actually. they’ve got similar ‘im hot and i know it and i care a lot more than i let on’ vibes. plus, meg is a bit of a troublemaker so she can always use a good lawyer. i’m pretty sure mulder would annoy her at first, if only because she’s the exact kind of person to be involved in the conspiracies mulder investigates. and hank....well we know how she gets along with hank xD. generally, she loves people, women especially, who are powerful, smart, and not afraid to show it. everyone else will probably be met with disdain, at least at first.
kara
Tumblr media
how to interact: honestly, kara’s pretty easy to interact with. partially because she’s my own original character and partially because she’s a time travel. she also works for the government, and in her main verse she works in our current time so she’s pretty adaptive. i think she and mulder could be really fun because like...mulder discovering the us government has had time travel and kept it secret? to quote dana scully, hoo boy. but honestly, anyone who could be considered part of current events/history would be a good fit for kara, and if you want to throw different muses at her, i can adapt. i can even throw angsty teen!kara at you if one of your muses wants a troubled teen to unofficially adopt.
how they’d get along with your muses: well like i said, she and mulder would be interesting. they’d probably fight a lot because mulder is all about outing the truth and kara is so concerned about anything that might change the timeline permanently that she’d be...let’s say...not so nice to him. and the same rules would generally apply to other muses. she does feel a certain responsibility for other time travellers and is extremely protective over orphans. she’s one of those muses who has a VERY tough exterior but is a soft and good bean on the inside, so anyone who is willing to deal with that/patient enough to break through would end up getting on well with her.

Venus 3000
Tumblr media
Definitely not my day. Either it will be my phone not ringing, either the ship getting slow as fuck to the platform or even Emily as I see her (and she sees that I see her) right before I was skipping line from a mexican dude for a sandwich. And neither did I get a nod nor a sandwich. Fuck.
I don't know why I said hi, I surely wasn't at my best and she didn't look too ok with it. I could pretend to study these ugly backs of the seats in front of me or keep on looking at the Pacific from my window while she was passing to seat at the first class. Sure, I could. But I was itching to learn why and how she justs appears here and just sits along with the richie rich folk. If only this notification for email and this nervous air hostess nagging about turning off out devices didn't hold me back from asking her on the spot.
"A reminder.
Make sure to fix your attitude and send some content, some good content this time, or we'll have problems to solve. Patience only lasts that long.
Sam, Assistant Manager."
Ah, simple, straight to the point and obnoxious Sam-the-assistant-manager as always, which she thinks she rules the world now that every serious person took a week of for the summer and she's left behind. I don't quite blame her, but she was asking me to reportabout local brunch restaurants and sunscreens just for the ads, only to get me to fly to Venus because Tyler got sickand all that crap.
Venus is just a dusty volleyball from the window when we get awaken by the stuff. Dunno if that's a tradition or not, but the pilot seemed to think that it was a good idea to sing happy birthday to each passenger that had birthday during the three month flight. It really was a good idea since I barely forgot Emily's birthday. I get myself around the seatbelts and get right back to them after the air hostess gives me the side eye. I take a minute to think about this and I see that i'ts kinda tricky to just play friends with her, so I stick to my shit. I take a look at my seat personal notifications to see what I missed. My sister's cat my only casualty. Pretty good if you compare that to the others beside me crying their eyes out for their loved ones that turned out less alive than expected. I guess I got pretty lucky. For a bit.
Cause this yuppie next to me takes his chance at starting a conversation with me about his newborn grandchild and as I'm known to enjoy this type of junk I tolerate this quirky little video of his daughter giving birth feeling physically disturbed. So disturbed I look away constantly, till I catch Emily in tears going to the bathroom of the first class (which is right in front of our class). I get closer to ask her what's wrong, only to get a cold shoulder. And I don't know what fucked me up the most, her attitude or this cringy video being almost twenty minutes long and me not having enough balls to tell him to stop it.
The pilot and his amazing texan accent wish us a nice stay at the colonies, thanking us for using Venus 3000 (yeah, wow) while I try to shut my helmet until the 'click'. We get out around this orange fog with some beacons shining in rhythm from far away. The reception authorities takes each one of us by the hand like babies until we get used to the different pressure. I take off my helmet first and try to communicate with this nice lady that holds me like her nephew about the distance from the hotel. I'm tired as hell and ready to sleep to my death.
I wake up from another notification from Sam-the-assistant-manager, underlying her previous nice words and sending me the schedule that I have to follow. If I can manage my time right, I could even get a second to pee between all those events, interviews and tryouts to get some footage (since the colonies authorities, for a reason I didn't quite get, were too willing to look for photos or videos you took during your time here, something that makes me understand what really got Tyler sick). But I shouldn't complain. It's only ten days and I got through the first one.
I get down, take just three bits and flee asking the reception about the Virtual Plaza where my appointment with the summer deputy head of the souther colony waits for me. I take the train get blown away by the ride. This so goddamn blue sky with small orange scratches from the dome, those weird asymmetrical buildings, those huge statues and columns resting on a never ending grass field and this coast. Yeah, coast as like sea (well, it's a big realistic pool, but still). I'm legit shook like the other passengers inside the train.
Somewhat irritated but gentle enough to not show it that much, Stephen Wang welcomes me with his uptight gestures and slick but uncomfortable warm suit (the colonies are always quite hot and summery). He looks a bit cold and all, but I get around him easily. Asking for some pics and then some answers to standard questions that no one gets uncomfortable with (about how he got here, how he feels, what the hell are the americans trying to build in this place along with these weird security measures) except for his security beast that checks my camera for footage and carries Stephen back to his car.
I walk around Virtual Plaza and see several kids bouncing around, playing with the slightly tweaked gravity in front of their disgustingly rich parents. Next to them some plain tourists playing with their drinks (it's too early for that) and a whole group of other tourists walking to the beach. I follow them creepily (they are in their swimsuits and I'm full clothed with a camera around my neck, just so everyone can get a bit uncomfortable) to this (close to a mile wide) shore where I let water touch my naked feet. It takes time to grasp what I really touch and/or feel.
Tired as hell, I return to the hotel to eat for the noon, getting several Venus facts from the speakers (couldn't give less of a fuck about them, though). And there she is once again, Emily, standing at the bar looking absolutely gorgeous, wearing something that costs like three times my salary. I get noticed, I smile at her, she smiles back and I decide to get to her while a old and bald penguin dude takes her by her hand for a spin. Not really hungry after that. I'm walking to the elevator with her quietly closing in. I look at her by accidentand see the same bitterness in her eyes, just like then before the take off.
Sleeping is not so easy on Venus. They tried all they could to simulate earth-like conditions (like day and night scheduling etc.), but that can't stop my biological clock from going nuts. So I fill my nights by looking at old convos with Emily as I deliberately avoiding her for the rest of the day. As for the work stuff, I managed to convince Sam that the communication delays are a pain in the ass and I can't send daily reports to get away with them. Sometimes I go for long night time walks, but those irish students looking for trouble and those faux cops that caught me filming the artificial forest the other day restrict me from enjoying anything but my room's satellite tv.
Days get so dry, dull and empty, too. When I don't have to ask the exact same things to weird army guys and Elon Musk wannabees, I need to listen at tiring speeches that all end up in how advanced and cool and hip this test is not only for humanity, but every form of life back to Earth. From top notch scientists and disgustingly rich white people to stupid youtubers and Robbie Williams (not kidding), all those people came exclusively to praise this initiative of the western world that officially puts the tombstone on the soviets after nearly ninety years of competition (not that it was that hard in the first place).
It only took a couple walks for me to see what those colonies had to offer me. All of those bright white columns, weird looking hotels and disturbingly tall palm trees just seem unpolished and lazy to me. Sand's just grated rocks, the sea smells like a chemistry lab, the food is processed to death and even the temperature gets a bit weird sometimes. The colonies are nothing more than huge hotel facilities, sprawling sparsely over a small island that floats in a large swimming pool. I'm fed up hearing about the hope of the future that starts herewhen I see old, pale fucks keeping on eating foie gras and using oil. This whole project is an ad that targets only the Kylie Jenners of this world that have a daily life of eating, sleeping and swimming in cash.
Sam-the-assistant-manager sure begs for these kind of reviews, but I'm risking my head for her. I only send her a draft without a slump of criticism, because I don't want any of those faux cops fucking with me just for writing bad things for them.
Three days before my flight, Stephen Wang drags me with his nerdy hands for another tour around the colonies. Oh look, art exhibitions, dance festivals, Robbie Williams (I needed this second time to make sure it was really him), even a luxurious cruise with a boat that smells just like burnt plastic. All slapping newand moderninside their names. All getting more and more random in my eyes. Wang clearly sees my disappointment and becomes troubled. He asks me if everything's fine, I respond with yeap, why notand not one second later I just leave my breakfast inches from the stern of the boat. So many days I spent here, and I only got to succeed in making a successful thirty year old career man lose his shit and getting nauseous from a pool. A fucking swimming pool.
Two days before my flight, my article looks like it's never gonna make it, especially with Sam's moaning about me giving away my hidden footage to Wang as an act of goodwill to the poor guy. I could finish the article regardless, but my mind starts to fade away. I spend more time looking at the forest from the window of my room than typing. It's already dark when a knock on the door kills my boredom. Emily knows me well enough to put aside my difficulty at finding something to say, dragging me to the beach with this cute rudeness that only she can pull off.
-You can be really mean if you want to
What can you say to her when she's one hundred percent right? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
-It's really hard for me to deal with your presence anymore, Emily. Try to understand me.
-Still, I don't deserve this kind of behavior;
-I know. And as far as you should know, I'm glad I found you here
-Really?
Really. But...
-But I don't quite prefer I found you here. It's not good for me to see you after all this times. I don't know how I could make this sound less douchey, but it is what it is.
I'm holding her hand to make her stay. She tries really hard not to hit me.
-You're making it so damn hard to trust you, you know that? I know you for so long and I still can't figure out if you crack jokes or turn serious.
I have a really hard time figuring this out myself, as well.
-I'm serious. It bugs me to act like nothing happened and this bald fuck touching you doesn't make it easier for me.
-You didn't seem to have this problem before, right? Let me remind you that it was you that didn't want to commit. What changed?
-Nothing
-You want it your way, as always
-Just like you, right? Only difference I have to wait for you to decide what exactly you want from me
-You're so bitter
-I'm in love
I can't stand fighting with her. She can't stand fighting with me. That's why we slow down a bit. We get cautious at our words now, we're testing each other's defences to avoid getting hurt.
-John passed away
-I'm really sor-
-No. No you are not. It's ok I guess, but I spent so much time with him and it got to me pretty hard
-You are wrong, I'm not that petty
-I was hunting you down for so many days to talk to you. You were hiding from me
It's difficult to make myself look more stupid.
-How you got here?
-John's health went south and he didn't want me to see him like this. It was something like a last gift from him.
-So you got this penguin to comfort you
-Please. Please don't make me regret my decision to talk to you. Please. I needed you in my life so damn much
I hate her for doing this. Not because she does it deliberately, but because it works. Most of the time.
-I think we have to stop having any type of contact, Emily. We can't do this anymore, can we?
I believe in what I say, I know I do, but it feels wrong actually saying, if that makes sense.
-You can't make it so damn easy to me. You just can't
-What do you mean?
-I do not intend to come back. I'm gonna stay here. Not coming back, like at all. You understand?
Oh I understand all right.
Just one day before my flight, I'm buried by the bed sheets and Emily. She plays with my hair and I lock myself on her as the purple dome turns to morning blue. Everything seems so right and wrong. Only this time there's no husband getting between us, just me feeling read to fall right off the window.
-Do not forget me, ok? I know I wont
And that's my soul being smashed to million pieces.
I greet her being super dazed, no idea why. My mouth is dry from the stress, the joy, the exhaustion and I can't help but puke inside the (empty, luckily) elevator. I'm sick, like legit sick. So sick that I lock myself back to my room ust to cry for god knows how long, only to get stopped by Sam. Where's the article, up your ass you fucking moron. I only got ten hours to get my head straight and there's no time for your dumb shit.
It is the same old lady who took me by the hand on my arrival that awaits with a big smile. I try to smile back but my lips are not responding. I could swear she almost pushes me to the plane, before I catch myself dragging my steps like a child. I get my helmet off to let me guilts breathe, trying to figure out how big I fucked up, how much of a coward I am for running away or how dumb I was for thinking about staying for her.
My condition's only getting worse. My ears are ringing as the passengers are sitting around me. They are somehow trapping me and I try to squeeze my eyelids until everything gets blurred so I can't understand much of what's going on and my plan's working pretty well until this australian chick shouts at the air hostess because I give her the creeps. I get up and get to the bathroom. I splash my face, look at my reflection, get disgusted, vomit and get out even more dazed than before.
A couple hundred of old ladies are staring at me with their either frighten eyes, waiting to see just where will I collapse. Unfortunately for them, Emily picks me up and sits me back down. Emily. Emily got a ticket and leaves. She leaves. She changed her mind and she leaves. With me.
-Be careful now, You all right?
-Emily, I think I love y-
-What?
Her face freezes, like I said something wrong to her. Her cheeks lose all of their color, those markings on her neck disappear, her long hair get more and more grey. I'm panicking, what the fuck is going on? Why is she like that? What did I do?
Nothing. I did nothing. It took a minute to get back to normal but here I am, stuck in my seat before sleeping, feeling the need to dig a hole on the floor and jump inside. Because it wasn't her.
It wasn't her.
It wasn't her.

leaked daisy and ai spicy xxx hot girls IM
pear-otter Yes. A bunch of times. My favourite one is where you’re a ludicrously wealthy trophy wife and I’m a down on my luck pastry chef. You hire me to cater an event and I fall helplessly into your wiles when I first visit your house. I’m amazed by the size and opulence of you and your husband’s house, but am quickly distracted by you. You descend the grand staircase in a sheer black robe, through which I can see your underwear, lacy and intricate. Your hair is artfully disheveled like you just awoke but your makeup is flawless. You want to give the impression of effortlessness, and vulnerability, and I buy it. As the date of the event grows closer, you invite me over more and more often, to adjust the menu. I wonder if you’re just lonely, or if it’s my company in particular you desire. I need this job, so either way, I don’t complain. By the day of the event, you have me completely at your mercy. I am enamoured and would do anything for you. You dress in a ravishing white blouse tucked into a tight pencil skirt. Your hair is in a ponytail, hanging in loose curls, and your eyes are endlessly sad when I see you. The event is a success, but just when it’s winding down, you find me in a back hall. You look scared, but maybe it’s all an act, your hair askew, and blood on your shirt. You say your husband is dead, and take me to see his body. I’m horrified, but you feed me a story about it being self defence. Whether I believe you or not doesn’t matter. I’m devoted to you, guilty or innocent. So I help you cover up the crime, make it look like an accident, burn your clothes. Help you wash the blood off. But when news of your husband’s death gets out, people are naturally suspicious. You’re the prime suspect, but I cover for you. Somehow, I’m implicated. When tensions are highest, we meet in your house, by moonlight. You convince me to confess to the murder, somehow making me think it’s my idea. You kiss me. Sometimes things get a little more heated than a brief kiss. The next morning I confess to the murder. You come to every day of my trial, still dressed in mourning clothes, as if you’re mourning for my freedom just as much as your husband’s death. I’m found guilty. You cry, and I hope the tears are genuine, but I never know for sure. For months you don’t visit me, and I try to come to terms with the fact that you used me, manipulated me into taking the fall for your husband’s murder. Until one day I have a visitor. It’s you of course, dressed in a tight black dress and a fur throw. You look like you’ve just come from a beautiful party. You act casual and coy, trying to play me as usual, but something’s different. I wonder what you want from me this time, what else is there, and finally I become frustrated with your cagey behaviour. I stand to go, but you ask me to wait. You admit you miss me. You just wanted to see me. At first I think it’s nothing but a trick, but there’s a desperation in your eyes that tells me you’re being truthful. Visiting hours end and you promise to visit again. And you do. There are trailers for conjugal visits, and you use your influence to let us meet in them, even though we’re not married. When I get out of prison, you wait for me in a fancy car, dressed in a wide brimmed hat. You’re wearing red lipstick, and you smile and ask where I want to go.
sorcieresque Firstly. I am high as shit.
sorcieresque Secondly, thank you for your candor. But wait, there's more.
pear-otter ?
pear-otter Are you really high?
pear-otter Daisy? Are you okay?
sorcieresque Yes and No. In your order. I said wait. I am typing.
pear-otter Okay.
sorcieresque I twice monthly entertain the idea of showing up at your door, the trope: Large coat and small lingerie. On your lap while you blush and stutter, fully-clothed. Trite, I know. I think I get off more to the power I’d hold than the subject prop of the fantasy; the patriarchy has sure done a number on me. I am aware lacy underwear and sexual confidence will not make anyone treat me equal to a man or give me the salary I deserve, that is, if I ever intended to get a job, then I could dethrone Elon Musk in a heartbeat. Where was I. These are lesbian asks and so we must take 30 minutes off being sex-critical feminists. We make love all night. I top, there is bondage involved. Much more Intimate, deeper: Sometimes I do not feel like Daze exactly but I’d rather wear a floral blue hawaiian shirt and men’s jeans, a silver gun strapped to my waist, my heart on my chest, hair long, disheveled. I walk like Daze walks and move like Daze moves but I am not a boy. I have never told anyone this. I think about girls like you but I do not know very many girls like you so you will do. A guy is hitting on you, you are clearly uncomfortable with his advances, leaning back into a locker. His arm is blocking you from escaping. I come over and put my arm around your waist and  One second I must punch Tyler in the face permanently she is being obnoxious.
pear-otter Hang on. Moire is there in the fantasy or Moire is there with you in real life right now?
sorcieresque Right now. I've punched her in the face permanently. Where was I.
pear-otter Your arm around my waist
pear-otter Also I have some questions but I’ll hold them til the end. Wait one is pressing, are you sharing this with Moire?
sorcieresque Into a locker his arm is blocking you from escaping I come over and put my arm around your waist and I could say something along the lines of The Lady Here Doesn’t Care For What You Have To Say or Excuse Me, That’s My Girl even when you are not in fact my girl, but instead I simply just kiss you on the side of the face and smile at him and escort you out of his grasp until we are out of sight. In this fantasy I do not expect to be paid back. I cannot stand a woman being harassed and will use my gentlemanliness for good. I want to be strong, imposing, protective. I want to intimidate men not with short skirts but swagger and confidence or as the kids say, Big Dick Energy. But you are grateful. You swoon a bit and perhaps kiss me on the corner of the mouth, write your number on the inside of my arm. I wait exactly four days to text you.
pear-otter I like it I like that you simply kissed me on the side of the face
pear-otter You don’t need words to convey your intentions to the guy, or aggression to intimidate him. That would be playing his game, and you don’t do that
sorcieresque sent a GIF
Tumblr media
pear-otter Is this Moire
sorcieresque [[ WRONG PERSON ]]
pear-otter [[I see]]
sorcieresque Yes. I have punched her in the face forever. Thank you. I like the part where I convince you to plead guilty for the crime I commited. It's much too flattering.
pear-otter I like that part too It’s probably my favourite part
sorcieresque Let's unpack that.
pear-otter You might be able to do it. If the situation was right
pear-otter I don’t mean if you... you know. I just mean. I don’t know. I probably wouldn’t go to jail for you in real life though I’d escape In my fantasies I’m never a shapeshifter, although sometimes I’m not Ai either.
sorcieresque You wouldn't survive a day in prison. Do you often wish to pay, or perhaps, atone, for some unspoken guilt that you refuse to acknowledge.
pear-otter Hence why I’d escape
sorcieresque sent a photo post http://pear-otter.tumblr.com/post/175391797716/sorcieresque-no-yes-soft-pink-lacy-with
By the way, I forgot to say: Niiiiiiiice.
pear-otter Hmm, I don’t think so... Sometimes I’m the rich trophy wife and mmmsomeone else is the one who goes to prison. Oh. Thank you
sorcieresque Whom.
pear-otter Moire
sorcieresque I knew it.
pear-otter One time it was Val but then I just felt guilty
sorcieresque She'd do well in prison.
pear-otter Are you telling Moire?
sorcieresque I'll spare you the embarrassment.
pear-otter Okay
sorcieresque But I did do a dramatic reading of your fantasy. You're an excellent writer. She read mine over my shoulder. Everyone's a critic.
pear-otter Okay. Thank you? Did she laugh
sorcieresque Yes.
pear-otter Okay.
sorcieresque Like you laugh when. Puppies. I'll take you lingerie shopping.
pear-otter Really?
sorcieresque Yes. You'll have to model them though.
pear-otter You’re really nice like this Daisy Kind I mean
pear-otter I guess... I agree to go. If you still want to when this weird spell is over, and when you’re not high.
sorcieresque I am absolutely fucking stoned. You can't hold me accountable.
pear-otter I’m just saying if you change your mind and don’t want to go, that’s okay
sorcieresque I can still be mean.
pear-otter Oh I’m sure you can
sorcieresque You couldn't possibly escape prison. You're not. Wiggly. Enough. It's laughable that you think you could.
pear-otter I’m a shapeshifter?
sorcieresque Not in your fantasy. Check AND mate.
pear-otter Otters are known for their wiggles, Daisy
pear-otter Oh Well I never said I escaped in my fantasy
pear-otter Hang on are you saying I’m fat
sorcieresque I'm saying you're weak.
pear-otter I don’t know how I’d be without my powers so. Maybe Do you have your powers in your fantasies?
sorcieresque Duh.
pear-otter All of them?
sorcieresque They're me. I'm them. We aren't Daisy and an extra. I am me.
pear-otter Yeah well same but I still have some idea of what it means to be just human
sorcieresque When I was human it hurt.
pear-otter Oh in the cave? I was just an otter
sorcieresque Then perhaps you are an otter and an extra.
pear-otter I mean probably. My mother was an otter first Are you having fun with Moire
sorcieresque Mmmmtyer is too bony to be comfortable. Did your father fuck an otter.
pear-otter Gross To both
sorcieresque I mean, I ask. Respectully. Did he fuck an otter, respectfully.
pear-otter Of course not, my mother was granted human form before he was even born Yesterday at 11:07 PM
sorcieresque Where was her consciousness before that. Today at 6:31 AM
pear-otter She was just an otter. Today at 10:56 PM
sorcieresque That is so fucked up. That is absolutely goddamn messed.
pear-otter How?
pear-otter That’s just how it is. It’s how most kawauso become shapeshifters. And kitsune and other things.
sorcieresque Like in Japanese Cartoons.
pear-otter Kitsune? Yes, they’re very popular, including on the television.
sorcieresque Ah. I think I like otters more. Like puppies.
pear-otter Oh Thank you then Foxes do have a reputation of being more sly and wily
pear-otter You like when I film otter stuff right? You liked it a lot when you were sick before
sorcieresque But can they dance cinematic ally shot choreographies. I think not.
sorcieresque Check AND maete.
pear-otter Haha, I guess that’s true :) So ARE you having fun with Moire?
sorcieresque Mmmmnnnnnnnnn̯͜n͚͉̝̟͉n̙͎̳͓͢ yes. But you shall take this to your grave. I a mswearing you to secrecy of the highest degree.
pear-otter Okay sure
sorcieresque PINKY swear. With Your HEART.
pear-otter How can I pinky swear with my heart I have to do it with my pinky finger
pear-otter Whatever I Pinky Swear.
sorcieresque [Photo of Daisy dragging her hands down her face in an exasperated gesture, her eyes bloodshot white, the fleshy pink of the inside of her eyelids showing.] The Fat man of Sand is pouring his concoction in my eyeballs. If there's anything else you wish to know Speak now or forever hold your peace.
pear-otter Aud’s weird boyfriend? Is Aud there too? Oh actually wait
sorcieresque Hmm.
pear-otter In your fantasy?
sorcieresque Mhmm.
pear-otter You said um and I quote “I top, there is bondage involved.” What does that mean I mean I know what bondage IS I MEAN Hypothetically And I guess? I understand the first half of the sentence But could you perhaps elaborate!
pear-otter Haha or not? It’s okay!!! The moment has passed I guess I was just curious
pear-otter Daisy? Are you telling Moire this? I was just Joking isn’t the right word Playing along haha You probably fell asleep or got too caught up hanging out with Moire, which I hate I mean I don’t hate Moire!!! Just the thought of you two hanging out, especially high, really bothers me Why am I saying this What if you’re making out That’s hot ***NOT THAT’S NOT something you would want to do??????? Right???? If you were not high STOP Anyway. Good night Daisy I hope you’re not making out with Moire or bonding with her too much I mean I hope you sleep well And Moire. Apart. Maybe in separate rooms even Oh no. You’re going to wake up, not high, and see all this It was nice talking to you like this. Um. I don’t suppose we could pinky swear my last 500 messages into secrecy too? Good night

MOST Bullish DeFi Project Possibly 500x
So you missed the last DeFi bull run or haven’t made crazy gains with Aave, Yearn Finance or Synthetix. You’re not the only one. The rally came out of nowhere and shocked the crypto space with its earth-shattering explosive parabolic moves. Some think it’s over DeFi. Although if you’re watching this channel, you know we ain’t stopping there. It’s time to unload the next DeFi gem for you.
Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It’s off the gains we go! Let’s get it! BitSwap is the hottest new way to trade tokens. Crawling all the top decentralized exchanges, BitSwap gets you the very best price and value for your trades. BitSwap is changing the game. Try it now at bitswapdex.io. Welcome to BitBoy Crypto! The No. 1 crypto channel in all the Interwebs. My name is Ben.
Every day on this channel, I show you how to make money in cryptocurrency. If you like money and crypto, then make sure to hit that subscribe button and smash the like button if you like uncovering gems. This lets YouTube know that you’re digging DeFi and you want to know what the future of finance is going to be.
In today’s video, we’re going to take a look into the future of DeFi and explore a blue-chip that is backed by the same hedge funds supporting Aave, Yearn Finance and Synthetix. And just so everybody’s clear about this, I’ve never spoken to the team and this is in no way a sponsored video.
It’s just a super investigative piece about the next big thing. Centralized finance wants to be in charge of figuring out who rules the world and deciding who is rich, who’s richer and who’s destined to stay poor. Of course, it’s the majority. In crypto, we believe in decentralization. This means the community, the people, are in charge of our own future. Our own wealth.
Everyone saw GameStop flying through the roof. WallStreetBets, a Reddit community focused on investing in stonks, brought it to the attention of the space, as greedy institutional investors shorted the stock immensely, which, if successful, would have resulted in the complete destruction of GameStop. The Reddit vigilantes then repeated this with other stonks, like AMC, BlackBerry and others.
This is another example of CeFi deciding what lives and who gets BitConnected. WallStreetBets took it into their own hands and gave a strong push back into the current centralized finance structure. GameStop, of course, flew to Mars with the support of Elon Musk and other large media personalities who supported the rebellion. One can see now what a single group can achieve by striving toward one common goal— fighting centralized finance and catching them with their pants down. Ugly sight.
But wait, we’re in crypto, not decentralized finance world, right? Have you seen what the same group did with Dogecoin? They made it pump 10X, 1,000% in less than two days. Guess what, all the ones who made profit off of those sick gains are searching for the next big thing.
And I can tell you, they’re definitely looking toward DeFi. The success of Aave, Yearn Finance and Synthetix shows the interest of enterprises and retail investors in decentralized finance, and, well, that’s only the beginning. The rigged financial system is yearning to be replaced as soon as possible, and there’s many systems being built to do just that.
With all the economical and political drama going on, DeFi has been killing it the past 12 months. New groundbreaking protocols were built in the bear market and exploded even before the market sentiment turned bullish. The most outstanding ones, of course, are Aave and Synthetix.
Aave made an insane 260X! And Synthetix, an astronomical 407X in less than a year! This is DeFi, ladies and gentlemen, and this is only the pregame party. Let’s check DeFi Pulse stats. In one year, the total locked value went from $550 million to a whopping $37 billion, a 67X! Huge investment funds like Grayscale, NGC, Framework and Coinbase Ventures are betting big on DeFi as the leader in this bull run.
The trend is your friend. Remember that. The BitBoy Crypto research team, or that room you’ve seen from my screens called Super Secret Club, is tirelessly searching for the next parabolic mover, and, as we know, DeFi is a hot topic.
Tumblr media
A few days ago, we came across a project which turned out to be the missing puzzle piece to the Yearn and Aave DeFi kingdom. It opens up the doors to yield farming for average investors and whales in just a few clicks, promising to make DeFi easy. It’s called APY Finance and the ticker, APY, a plug and play solution for investors which routes funds to the best yield farming strategies.
One won’t have to search for options himself and worry about changing yield aka returns. It’s all automated and is essentially an aggregator of DeFi. What’s more, this new project, APY Finance, is already connected to all the leading DeFi protocols such as Uniswap, SushiSwap, Aave, Compound, Curve, Yearn, Synthetix, dYdX and more. You deposit DAI, USDC or Tether stablecoins, and it finds the best risk-reward yield farming strategy options for you.
APY even spreads out the risk by routing your funds to multiple farms. This way, smart contract risk is way lower and the yield higher and more sustainable. The gas fees for transactions, pool deposits and withdrawals are seven times lower than at Compound, Curve and Yearn Finance, which, of course, is a game-changer as gas fees are skyrocketing on Ethereum. Now, on to the founder and the lead developer.
The founder and CEO, Will Shada, is an OG developer who has won multiple hackathons including Consensus Quorum, ConsenSys NYC Grants, ETHBoston, Uniswap Prize for HackMoney 2020 and more. He’s an experienced and skilled developer with some strong connections, which, of course, we’re going to discuss below.
The second lead developer of APY Finance, Chan-Ho Suh, has worked as a Capital One quant developer. Capital One aka the financial corporation with a revenue of $34 billion specializing in credit cards, auto loans, banking and savings accounts.
I can’t imagine better backgrounds for DeFi engineers. The project is also backed by well-known hedge fund whales such as CoinGecko– yes, the largest cryptocurrency ranking website after CoinMarketCap– Alameda Research– remember that one– Rarestone Capital, Cluster Capital, Arrington Capital, Vendetta Capital, DeltaHub, Master Ventures, WolfEdge Capital, BlackEdge Capital, The LAO, Genblock Capital, TRG Capital, Twelve Capital, White Palm Ventures– basically everybody else under the sun.
But I would be here listing them all day. They tried to hide it, but we found it all. Some of these venture capitals have a lot of connections that have a lot of voices in this space. And, of course, I don’t want to end up getting killed, so I’m not going to tell you who they are right now. But the thing is, is that these VCs are pushing a lot of projects. And I will say that all of these are betting on APY Finance, so I’m looking deeper into it.
The mainnet is launching anytime now. The team is even aiming for this quarter. Now, APY has a market cap of only $15 million with a token price of 90¢, which is over 60X away from Yearn Finance’s market cap and an astonishing 407X away from Aave’s. According to the team, APY has a tier-1 listing ahead of it with its mainnet launch, which makes me even more bullish.
And it’s pretty easy to tell which CEX, or “CEX”, will most likely be first to list it— FTX Exchange, as it is tied to Sam, who’s behind Alameda Research, which is invested in APY, as we already mentioned. For anyone who doesn’t know who Sam is, he’s one of the most influential people in crypto and a self-made crypto magnate.
He’s even earned a spot at Forbes 30 Under 30 recently as well. Now, of course, I have not been contacted for the 38 Under 38. With such large backing, I have no doubt they will get a top tier exchange listing before you know it. Now, I also got a strong feeling that there’ll be an Aave and Yearn Finance scaling solution as investors seek the best yields and least risk, with importantly a solution that is easy to use.
Interestingly enough, Hacker Noon, a blog that is known for predicting upcoming trends, wrote a dedicated article on APY Finance and another article on yield aggregators being the next big thing in DeFi mentioning the project again. APY is still somewhat under the radar, but, of course, after this video, it won’t stay there for much longer. We see you, BitSquad.
DeFi is warming up for its second parabolic run, and the BitBoy Crypto team is striving to pick the winning horse before the race even get started. What do you think? Which projects will have the biggest potential to pull an Aave or Synthetix type run during this bull cycle? Make sure to drop your comments down below.

Inc.: 23 of the most successful introverts in history...
1. Albert Einstein
As one of the world's most recognized and revered physicists, Einstein has often been quoted as saying, “The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.” Einstein received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 and is best remembered for developing the theory of relativity.
2. Rosa Parks
Parks became one of the most historically important figures in 1955 after refusing to give her seat up for a white man. In the introduction of her book Quiet: The Power Of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, Susan Cain states:
I had always imagined Rosa Parks as a stately woman with a bold temperament, someone who could easily stand up to a busload of glowering passengers. But when she died in 2005 at the age of 92, the flood of obituaries recalled her as soft-spoken, sweet, and small in stature. They said she was ‘timid and shy’ but had ‘the courage of a lion.’ They were full of phrases like ‘radical humility’ and ‘quiet fortitude.’
3. Bill Gates
The founder of Microsoft, philanthropist, and world's richest person, was once asked how to succeed in a predominantly extroverted world.
“Well, I think introverts can do quite well. If you're clever you can learn to get the benefits of being an introvert, which might be, say, being willing to go off for a few days and think about a tough problem, read everything you can, push yourself very hard to think out on the edge of that area. Then, if you come up with something, if you want to hire people, get them excited, build a company around that idea, you better learn what extroverts do, you better hire some extroverts (like Steve Ballmer I would claim as an extrovert) and tap into both sets of skills in order to have a company that thrives both in deep thinking and building teams and going out into the world to sell those ideas.”
4. Steven Spielberg
Even one of the most successful, wealthiest, and influential personalities in Hollywood is an introvert. Director and producer Steven Spielberg has admitted as much and says he would prefer to spend time getting lost into movies.
5. Sir Isaac Newton
One of the most important figures in science, his Principia formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation. Isaac Newton was known to be "a deeply introverted character and fiercely protective of his privacy."
6. Eleanor Roosevelt
Though she a shy and retiring individual, Eleanor Roosevelt "was a woman who gave 348 press conferences as First Lady, was a United Nations delegate, a human rights activist, a teacher, and a lecturer who averaged 150 speaking engagements a year throughout the 1950s."
7. Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg told The New York Times in 2010 that Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of the social network site, "is shy and introverted and he often does not seem very warm to people who don't know him, but he is warm." She added, "He really cares about the people who work here."
8. Larry Page
The co-founder of Google, Page became the search engine's CEO in 2011. Many believed that Page was an odd choice for CEO because he's "personally reserved, unabashedly geeky, and said to be introverted."
9. Al Gore
The former vice president, presidential candidate, and author of An Inconvenient Truth is another public figure who found success despite being an introvert.
10. Marissa Mayer
The current Yahoo! CEO may be well-known, but Mayer still believes in quiet leadership and has admitted that, "I'm just geeky and shy and I like to code…"
11. Abraham Lincoln
The introverted leadership skills of the 16th U.S. president have been studied often by researchers and educators because of his "geekiness," dignity, and quietness.
12. JK Rowling
The creator of Harry Potter came up with the idea of her most famous character while traveling from Manchester to London. Rowling recalls, "I had been writing almost continuously since the age of 6 but I had never been so excited about an idea before. To my immense frustration, I didn’t have a pen that worked, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one... "
13. Warren Buffett
Known as the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett is known as one of the most successful introverts and businessmen in the world. According to Buffett, when he started out, he had the "intellect for business," but he felt he had to enroll in Dale Carnegie's, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" course of seminars, because he didn't have a business persona.
14. Mahatma Gandhi
Known for being the master of nonviolent resistance, Gandhi once said, “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
15. Hillary Clinton
The former First Lady, Secretary of State, and current presidential candidate isn't an extrovert like her husband Bill. This might be why some people believe that Clinton isn't that warm of a person.
16. Michael Jordan
His Airness is one of the greatest basketball players of all-time. He also happens to be one of the greatest introvert athletes.
17. Charles Darwin
The renowned scientists and author of The Origin of Species was a quiet type who enjoyed solitude.
18. Meryl Streep
Like many actors and actresses, Meryl Streep is a known introvert. However, Streep is a three-time Academy Award winner who is known for her preparation in becoming every character she has portrayed.
19. Elon Musk
The founder of PayPal, Space X, and Tesla has been open about how he went from an "introverted engineer" to being the next Steve Jobs.
20. Dr. Seuss
Arguably one of the greatest children's book authors of all-time wrote his stories alone, and according to Susan Cain, "was afraid of meeting the kids who read his books for fear they would be disappointed at how quiet he was."
21. Frederic Chopin
This world-renowned and inspirational composer was so introverted that he gave only about 30 public performances in his lifetime. Instead, he played for small groups of friends and made a living by selling his compositions and teaching piano. Chopin’s most quiet and troubled times have become known as his most productive composition periods.
22. Steve Wozniak
The Apple co-founder described his creative process in his book iWoz as follows:
“I'm going to give you some advice that might be hard to take.
That advice is: Work alone. Not on a committee. Not on a team.”
23. Barack Obama
The current president of the United States made history in 2008 by becoming the first African-American elected into the office. He's also a known introvert. In fact, columnist David Brooks stated in the The New York Times, "Being led by Barack Obama is like being trumpeted into battle by Miles Davis. He makes you want to sit down and discern."
