Legit wanna ask you all of these, but I’ll try to be abstemious! (“Try” being the operative word) —
How do you choose which POV to write from?
What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?
How do you write emotional scenes? Do you ever feel what the characters feel? Do you draw from personal experiences?
What is one essential thing to remember when writing a villain? 
How do you choose where to end a chapter?
Share a snippet from a WIP (please)
How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc)
Of the characters you write for, which is your favourite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?
What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?
You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it?
Do you have a favourite scene that you’ve written for CS? 
(I’m sorry for asking so many!) 
💜 
Thanks K! I'll be proactive and read more this shit now, lmao
POV: I'm a basic bitch, I go third person always and tend to pick the character who's taking precedence in the scene for perspective! On the rare occasion I go first person, it's because the character (Usually Jacqueline) is breaking the fourth wall to make themselves HEARD and who am I to refuse a muse such as Jacquie? She's in my walls, man. Not even paying rent. Unbelievable.
Common writing tip: Said is dead. Said is NOT dead! It's NOT and I will USE IT and you will find it to be INVISIBLE and the dialogue will SLAP and SAID IS NOT DEAD!
Emotional scenes: I very much do put myself in their shoes at the moment! You should see the faces I make when I write these bad boys lmao. Sometimes I'll pretend to be watching them acted out when walking around and then bc I talk with my hands I look insane to the casual onlooker.
At their heart, most if not all emotional scenes have some basis of my own experiences entwined with them! Not like, direct from Dani, straight to Video Cassette and DVD, but like. I think of situations where I have felt the same and try to describe how I was feelin/pour those moments into it. The only exception to this rule is the Dite Comes Out snippet, which is 100% based on my own experiences when discovering asexuality and trying to talk about it with friends and such!
When writing a villain, what to remember: LMAO GOOD QUESTION! IDK! My first thought is to say to remember that they're people too. Not that I'm out here like SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR VILLAINS (she says, writing redemption arcs for villains) bc some villains are just ASSHOLES and are MADE that way so you DON'T sympathize with them! Bc they SUCK! What I mean to say is that more often than not I find villains have their own motivations/thoughts, like heroes or other characters, and they think they are in the right, or that what they are working to do is what needs to be done. It's good to remember that, especially when writing scenes and such from their POV. They have motivations and things that drive them
AND! Just bc they think a certain way does NOT mean you do!!!! Get that Anti culture RIGHT OUT OF HERE! GREY IS A COLOUR THAT EXISTS AND WHAT YOU WRITE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE INTO AN IDEA/BELIEVE THIS IDEA/WHATEVER. It just means you have a story to tell and by GODS you are GONNA TELL IT
When to end a chapter: I have a process for this and no idea how to explain it except for THE VIBES. Usually if it's a fluffy chapter, I end it on a high note; if it's a plotty chapter, I end it on either A) a reveal or B) a cliffhanger. I definitely prefer ending on like, nice statements that read like a natural end point. This does lead to me on occasion trying to write a smooth little closing paragraph; it's not a bad habit but I think I can absolutely do more natural ends without feeling the need to add a statement that's like "and end chapter", if that makes sense, lol. Practise makes perfect!
Share a snippet: Please enjoy this funny bit from a very self-indulgent wip called "The House That Jacqueline Forgot"
AHEM.
Heading back into the hallway, she bopped her head into the space before the basement. A smaller room, she had had it added on way back when. Hoping to avoid ruining the hardwood floors, she had thought it a good idea to have a mudroom put on the side. It also made the basement entrance less terrifying, given that the house was built in the Limestone City, and as such, the basement was much shorter than you would expect. She wondered if the fireplace downstairs was still in one piece. She’d have to check. And then probably get an HVAC going. Lady knew she’d need it given the hot Ontario summers.  She stopped in front of the door once more, looking up the stairs. It hit her then, all at once: if she wanted to get this house in working order, it was going to be a very long road. And the upstairs would probably be twice as bad as down here!  An overwhelming sense of despair briefly clouded her thoughts as she thought of all the work ahead. She almost sunk down on the floor right then and there, were it not for the four creaks on the stairs outside followed by a loud SNAP, and a very familiar voice swearing.  Whipping around, she pulled back the door to find a large hole in her front porch.  “You've got a hole in your deck,” Jack pointed out nonchalantly. He was leaning on the rail of the portion of the deck overlooking the garden, looking as casual as can be.  “That’s so funny, because moments ago when I got here, that hole wasn’t there.”  “Are you implying that I fell through your deck?” Jack asked, aghast. The railing started to creak below him. He sprung off it like it was actively on fire.  Jacqueline side stepped the hole, standing beside her brother. She picked something off of his lapel. “Yes, I am,” she said, flourishing the piece of worn, red, wood that had escaped Jack's magical clean snap.  “Well, I can’t argue with that,” he said, taking the wood chip and flinging it into the garden.  “What are you doing here?” Jacqueline asked, hopping back inside the house. “I thought you were in the Alps today, storming it up.”  “I was,” Jack said, following her in. “Really enjoying it too, until my lovely stormy walk was disrupted by a wave of despair so intense, I nearly fell down the mountain.”  Jacqueline flushed, looking away. “Sorry. I just had a moment. It’s just…it’s fine. It’s alright.”  “But are you?” Jack asked.  “Eh...” she shrugged, pushing the door open as far as it would go. “I mean. You know. I want to say I’ve seen worse but...I have my work cut out for me,” she said, gesturing to the inside of the house.  Jack let out a low whistle, stepping inside and taking it all in. “Wow.” 
Describing my style: another good question! Idk! I'd say character-driven, for the most part. They all have little arcs and growth to do and the story structure/plot helps achieve this goal!
Fave character to write: Jacqueline's so fucking funny, and I LOVE when Bernard gets sassy. That's always fun to write. Blaise has become a surprising fan favourite (people's responses to him may have swayed me a bit, ESPECIALLY the husbando's love of the "fiery dilf") and I've found myself really enjoying writing him! And the Twins are a fucking RIOT, and lately, when they're on their own with Jack in more emotional moments, they've been surprising the shit out of me. It's been fun! They are so tiny and full of chaos but they care about their siblings so so so much 🥺🥺🥺
Oh, and Adria! Once you all meet her proper, you'll see why she's such a delight >:)
Something I pride myself on in my writing: the convos all sound natural! I literally say them out loud and write them how I'd say them/hear them. Hence the abuse of capitals and lowercase, punctuation, and half italicized words ;)
You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it? Abuse of the semi-colon, evil uncles, horrible puns, and the dialogue reading like MSN in 2007 (see above point)
Do you have a favourite scene that you’ve written for CS? 
SO MANY. AH! My absolute favourites are:
Chapter 11: Blinter, with the chair and the Jack look and the ...you know look the pair of them have
Chapter 22: The window breaking and Blaise being like please tell me that wasn't our kids and Jack yelling SCATTER as the four siblings BOOK it and Blinter side eyes one another like alright, damage control time.
Chapter 16: Autumn and Winter's chat, and Spring and Winter's chat. there's something about the atmosphere of a quiet, dark kitchen while you carefully tidy, the people you love nearby having a riot while you take a moment to yourself, really, really hits. and I like when Winter tells Spring off and then tells her she needs to chill, she's doing okay, really (she being Spring in this case)
Chapter 23: Jack and Jacqueline's whole chat at the Springs, and then Jacquie pushing Jack into the pool and him dragging her into it too lmao. Not to mention the WOULD YOU HELP ME KILL A GUY bit!
I've also got some bangers I've yet to write but am VERY excited to! Chapter 27 especially is gonna be a HIT
thanks for the ask, K! I'm glad you did as many as you did! This has cheered me up SUBSTANTIALLY today 🥰🥰🥰

Doomscrolling tips
Hi.
Shit is weird right now, again, some more.
And it is going to get weirder. The next month or so (this isn’t going to magically go away after the inauguration), and even after that, it’s still going to be weird and might get weird in a whole new way.
Here’s some tips to safeguard yourself, and your mental health, and how to be proactive online without driving yourself nuts.
- If you sign any petitions, just sign them. Don’t allow your name to be seen, don’t “chip in $$”, don’t post a comment, don’t share them, publicly, on your SM. If you want to get others to sign, DM friends that you know would want to sign them, share them as friends only, or share them in a space where no one can find your real info and you have a layer of anonymity.
- Don’t sign any petitions that you do not recognize the hosting site for. Random ones you are not familiar with can be phishing sites or want money to include your signature. Ones your reps send you are almost always campaign fund begs once you click through. Stay with Change.org (but don’t give them any money) or the official government petition site, https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/
- USE RESISTBOT, resistbot is getting slammed right now, because, of course it is, and you may end up on “hold” unless you can chip in a donation, but you do not have to and they will get to you and the queue is rarely very long.
Instructions on how to start using them are here https://resist.bot/ they will generate and automate letters, electronic and physical and deliver them to your reps at the federal and state level. They have also just added city level so you can write your Mayor too.
Donations go to cover operating costs like hosting, storage and postage and such. They offer a skip the line when they are slammed for ANY donated amount (I think as low as a dollar, but I am not sure, it might be 5$) but as I said before once you are in the queue, they will get to you pretty quick. And when they are not being slammed, it’s instant no matter if you have donated or not.
When you use resistbot, keep in mind that your information is given to your reps, and once there, your reps keep it on file, but resistbot itself does not use your info for anything else.
You do not have to write a massive tome either, a resistbot message of, Oh, I dunno, something simple like “Invoke the 25th”, “Arrest him”, or “Remove Trump” for example, are fine. And most of the time, your rep will respond, often addressing your concerns directly.
- Do not engage. When you are scrolling through twitter or facebook or whatever, do NOT engage with people spewing incorrect information or conspiracy theories or faux-news. Report them.
Right now twitter and facebook are having an “Oh shit, we helped cause this” moment and being pretty (twitter more so than facebook) active on responding to these reports and removing and blocking this sort of stuff. And removing a public platform for someone spreading disinformation is a great way to stop the spread of it. If you see nonsense, report it.
On twitter, the most useful one right now is the political one, and spreading false information about a political event, person or party, or a civic event. On facebook just do your best with their crappy reporting tools.
BUT, most importantly, do not engage; do not angry face react, do not retweet with disparaging comments, do not argue with them, report it, block their account and move on. This is for both your mental health, and physical safety.
- Retweet sourced and cited information, straight from the source if possible. Once you have established that you have found a good source, follow that twitter. Like all the op-ed commentary you want, but try to only circulate citable fact. Hyperbole and humor might help you feel better right now, and that’s fine, but right now the truth needs to be circulated far and wide so it overwhelms the people spreading the stupid shit.
- If you are having a problem with knowing if what you are reading is true or not, then install the Media Bias Fact Checker extension for your browser. This will give you a real time overlay of how truthful articles you see on facebook and twitter are, and if you follow a link to an article, it will give you a run down on the factual trustworthiness of that site.
You might have a left bias or a right bias site, but as long as the site also says Center, as in left center, right center, it usually has a good factual rating.
So you might go to let’s say NPR and this extension will tell you Left Center HIGHLY FACTUAL. Meaning they are very stringent about checking their sources and run multiple fact checks before publishing.
Wire services will often be listed as Highly Factual with no bias as they tend to be very “the 5 W’s” on reporting. So look for AP and Reuters if you want only facts and no bias. If you have any questions about Media Bias Fact Check, look here https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/
- TAKE BREAKS, stop scrolling, do some stretching or take a walk. Knit a little, make a paper airplane, doodle a tiny cartoon, watch a show, find a new song to add to your playlist. Have some water, eat something healthy, then eat something comfortingly unhealthy.
- If you start to feel like you want to argue with a stranger on the internet, open up a text file, copy their spew into it, go to town responding,IN THE TEXT FILE, then save it, wait 24 hours, open it back up read it again. Then delete it. Do not publish it.
Arguing with idiots on the internet achieves nothing except getting you into an argument with idiots on the internet. Get it out of your system, re-read it once with fresh eyeballs, then delete it for your mental health.
- If you really do find something you feel you MUST RESPOND TO, then do this: gather reliable, factual, citable, linkable, information that proves them wrong beyond a shadow of doubt, AND MAKE A SEPARATE POST ABOUT IT on your own SM, without tagging them.
Fight lies by spreading the truth. Don’t fight the liar. Oftentimes you aren’t even dealing with the liar, you are seeing a person who was gullible and brainwashed by the liars. So, present the truth in a non confrontational way that does not call the brainwashing victim out directly.
They might be a lost cause, but you can more effectively fight the spread of lies by showing the truth then by getting in a slap fight with them on the family facebook group.
If the person responds to your post, thank them for reading, and encourage them to provide equally factual information that they feel supports their argument ON THEIR OWN SM. delete any subsequent comments from them.

Thinking about Fjorester and timing and there’s just so much narratively balanced about the way this improvised romance developed, it’s driving me insane.
Like, first of all, the ven diagram of episodes in which Jester was closing off to romance and the episodes in which Fjord was beginning to develop serious feelings for her is a circle. Literally. I can pinpoint them. It’s everything from In Hot Water to A Game of Names.
Like, Jester is asking Fjord about how he feels after Avantika and Darktow (hesitant and broken heart) while Fjord is becoming increasingly aware of how much her support means to him (“thank you for not telling the others”). Fjord specifically asks Jester to accompany him to his shipwreck to explore his past and Jester keeps telling herself he only did so because she’s capable (“now I know why you asked me to come”). Dashila makes Jester anxious and question Fjord’s motivations, Fjord’s though process while facing a blue dragon is literally “can’t bail on Jester” and yet she feels abandoned. It’s just one miscommunication after the other. Fjord offers her breakfast and checks in with her and takes her on a tour and Nott SEES what is happening and Jester literally snaps at her over it. No. No he doesn’t like me, drop it. By the time they reach the second temple, the roles have already reversed and Fjord is paying Jester compliments left and right and shook to his core when she prays for him and approaching her with those soft eyes and “i appreciate the sentiment, it’s alright you can go” and Jester is just trying to be a good friend for him without letting her feelings show anymore. She’s so hesitant and worried at the same time.
It’s fascinating. Especially because these changes happen around eps 45-50. So all of the first 50 episodes the dynamic is clearly focused on Jester’s crush and growing feelings for Fjord, culminating on her closing off after she gets hurt.
And then AND THEN the next 50 episodes it’s all about Fjord’s feelings as he gets more comfortable with himself and becomes more and more aware of what Jester means to him. “Jester, are you gonna be safe?” Trying to give her the superior healing potion. Flirting with her over the ghost jellyfish. The cheek kiss. The tree dive. The kiln conversation. The snow but with the sword. “We look after each other”. The support with the gentleman. “I’m glad you’re here” with the fun ball throwback. The Nicodranas date. ALL OF THESE HAPPEN ON THE SECOND 50 EPS STRETCH. And what does it culminate with? Fjord dying and coming back and clearly deciding to take a more proactive approach with things.
And now? Now we are on the third act of this show and if the first one was about Jester and the second abou Fjord, this one is about them finally coming together at the right time. It’s about Rumblecusp and “I do care about you” and “I don’t want you to get hurt” and the Hex Jump and “I’m glad you were holding on to me” and the tiny unicorn and her kissing his cheek and “How are you doing?” And “I need to close all that before...” and “I don’t want you to gamble with yourself” and the kiss and then finally cuddling at night without doubts or remorse...
We are only halfway through this third 50ep act and still have so much to see about them, but so far it’s crazy how balanced and accidentally in sync they’ve been. What a wonderful narrative.

good enough, part 1 of 2 - senju tobirama/reader
Summary: Marriage isn't dull with Tobirama, but it isn't blissful either. But through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, you and Tobirama had promised to each other that you will stick it through until the end, together. Until death do you part.
A/N: implied miscarriage, edo tensei is almost complete; everything will be explained later and not in this one-shot, i promise sdhfksjg i know these are written without order but i swear there’s a reason why. thank you for reading ! 
also in AO3
//
Tobirama has always been at war. Every fiber of his being is made for it. His childhood had consisted of being bred for war and it has followed him into adulthood. War loudly cries out in his blood, and it sings, unsyncopated, like brass plates clashing against each other that the only way to force it away is to draft plans after plans, create jutsus one after another. War does not let him stop; it wants to drive him insane. 
 He has never gotten out of it. 
 In a time of peace, his mind and his body seek out battles, no matter how much he wants to rest. No matter how much he wants to stay still. Silence avoids him like a plague.
 On his bed with you, he lies awake, his skin itching like he is covered with bugs. He lies still beside you, the sheets underneath him loud after every wrinkle and it becomes unbearable. He closes his eyes, but tonight, the war raging inside him deems it a good time to disturb him. 
Quietly, he gets up and sneaks into his office. 
 The feeling of his fingers around a pen is familiar, and he grips it like his saving grace. He works on whatever he can get his hands on, because he knows this is the only antidote to the piercing screams by his shoulders. 
 He despises himself for being like this, because it is unfair to you that he is being pulled into many directions. You deserve more, he knows this, and most of the time he feels inept as a husband that he cannot give you his undivided attention or make himself more available without sparking a fight. As much as he loves you, there are times where he regrets tying you to him for the rest of your life. 
Tobirama can never escape a fight, and through lulls of time, he finds himself diving into impossible feats, such as this new project of his. He wants to call it the Edo Tensei. 
 Through this jutsu, there may never be a need for troops and for deaths. Through this jutsu, maybe he can have his peace, knowing that these revived shinobis will never fall and will get up no matter how much damage they take. 
 He is so close. He is so close that he can practically taste his success. 
 But dawn shines through his windows and the life in his house starts to churn with its daily ordeals. 
 Tobirama rubs his dry eyes, and despite having them closed, he sees light on his eyelids. 
Day comes, and he knows that his priorities lie elsewhere. He is the Hokage and he has lives to protect. 
//
“Did you sleep?” You ask. You take note of his tense shoulders and the shadows on his face, and decide that it is best that you do not touch him. You watch him sit on his desk, his mad handwriting plethora on the papers in front of him. 
 You know that sometimes, physical touch makes him upset, especially when he is in one of his moods. You do not understand it at times, but you make it a point to patiently reassure him. 
 Tobirama’s eyes flit to your face, and stares at you as if you might disappear right in front of him. Then his eyes scan your body, and you know that look of his. He is scanning your body for any injuries or if you are in pain. Ever since that incident with one of the servants in your house that resulted in your miscarriage, he is more vigilant about your condition. He is always looking for some sign that you are hurt because he wants to be one step ahead so that he can protect you, from whatever it is. He is absolutely sure he can do something. Back when you were a shinobi and had gotten injured, he had reacted so adversely that it made him even more proactive in preventing you from taking missions. He does not want to see you hurt, ever. 
 You step toward him, slowly, so that you don’t set off any of his internal alarms. 
 Though the past incidents had left some scars you might have to carry forever, you are just glad that Tobirama is with you. You know that he will always make sure you are safe, and that thought alone gives you enough comfort to stay strong. Besides, you have been given time to heal, whereas your husband overworked himself to make sure that you live with ease.
 You meet his somber red eyes, and then you cautiously place your hands on his face. He looks up at you in such a tender way that you almost forget to breathe. He does not turn away, like he would at times, and instead, he seems to lean further into your touch. 
 “I lost track of time,” he replies, his voice low as if he is afraid he might startle you. 
 “You have stopped sleeping,” you state to him. 
 Tobirama nods glumly, knowing this fact very well. He has been awake for many nights now, and he wonders how he’s even standing at this point.
“Let me help you, hm?” You told him. You had promised him that you will help him become a great Hokage earlier on in your marriage. Though it was not that long ago, you want to keep telling him that you are here to help him. 
 Besides, you can use the distraction too. 
 “Eat something, I asked the cook to make your favorite dish,” you tell him and a light-hearted smile comes to your face easily. 
Tobirama takes one of your hands, and he presses a kiss into your wrist. “You didn’t have any nightmares?” 
 Your vision gets faraway for a moment and you are reminded of what you have both lost months ago. Then, you are brought back by Tobirama’s firm grip on your hand. 
 “I am alright,” you reassure him. 
 You look at his face again, and you try to read the many emotions passing through his eyes. He is good at hiding them, much to your chagrin, but years with him has taught you how to find them. 
“Let’s eat, alright?” You tell him gently, and he allows you to pull him up from his seat. 
//
 The day begins with you and Tobirama walking towards the Hokage’s office. There are some people already up this early in the morning, and they greet you and their second Hokage warmly. Tobirama nods at them, wielding his regal air to cloak him–you can tell he is barely holding it together. You worry about his state, because he has not taken a second for himself. 
 You are tempted to take his hand, but you stop yourself. Tobirama is on overdrive mode, and you do not want to startle him. He does not like to display any type of public affection anyways. 
In the Hokage’s office, Tobirama immediately sets to work without a word. You do your best to facilitate things for him, such as arranging the documents the way he wants them, receiving guests that are not as urgent or important, and when you have done what you can, you set out for lunch to make Tobirama eat, even though you know that he will neglect his meals again. 
 Honestly, whoever left Tobirama to his own devices? This man is anything but calm when he is not fighting and facing imminent death.
 As his wife, you try to lighten up his workload, and there are many instances that your help is making a difference. These days, you are not sure what plagues Tobirama’s dreams, and well, in his case, his every moment he spends awake. 
 You come home after making sure that he has at least managed to get in a few bites before surrendering himself to his Hokage duties, and there, you help the servants clean the house, and do the menial chores like laundry, mostly because your Senju husband is very particular about his things. 
 Before dinner, you read up a little, because while you are not an active shinobi anymore, learning does not stop no matter what. 
 Since you have no guests to attend to for the day, you start to wind down for sleep. You take a relaxing tea for better sleep, and try not to think about your overworked husband. You remind yourself that he has huge responsibilities to carry out, and many lives depend on him. 
 Then, you go to sleep, the other half of the bed empty and cold. 
PART TWO

Pick the Best Realtor - How Can You Find the Best Real Estate Agent For You in Today's Market?
Realtors don't get enough acclaim for the work they put into their customers. There is a great deal of foreseen responsibility in the land calling, and guaranteed progression takes maintained irksome work. Many undertaking, and few drive forward. A reasonable Realtor ought to change into your confided in counsel. By discernment and perceiving what the Realtor accomplishes for you as the customer, you can ensure an incredible working relationship with your Realtor and confirmation complete accomplishment all through your home purchasing measure Conshohocken home selling .
Incessantly, when I state "realtor" I need you to think Realtor, and to think about just a Realtor to address you in your home buy. "Real estate professional" is an authority task for a realtor who has uncovered a promise to an important level of commitment and cleaned skill. A realtor just signs an award; a Realtor holds snappy to a code of morals.
With a Realtor, you can expect somebody who has contributed time, cash, and vitality into the land calling, as opposed to somebody who paid two or three hundred dollars, took several classes and coasted through an assessment. Truly, a permit awards one to rehearse in land in the condition of issuance, at any rate it keeps away from anything related to the overseer's notoriety. Most first-time homebuyers don't know to ask, "Are you a Realtor?" or far predominant, to look at the chairman's business card to avow their title. A Realtor can besides take extra direction to increase remarkable errands, additional certification of exertion towards cleaned capacity and limit. Generally, the more assignments the better: few would take care of the essentialness and cash on these errands without a vitality for this business and the customers they serve.
Finding the correct Realtor isn't commonly a careful science, at any rate a little evaluation can go far. In boundless cases, the best bosses are not the ones you see and get some answers concerning; shockingly, the best heads are the ones who are so commendable at their exchange and calling they don't have to expend cash on publicizing. These are the executives who work basically by referral or verbal exchange and have qualified individuals coming to them dependably. This marvel just happens to extraordinary experts who know their exchange and have made their business over enough years for new customers to glance through them out.
Referrals Rule
Different purchasers start by taking a gander at heads they have pondered. This could be the near to Century 21 branch close to the bistro not far-removed, or the truth may demonstrate that enchanting old individual who strolls around the square every Thursday with her astonishing flyers. That older individual ace is critically accepting that her irksome work pays off and that following quite a while of giving her insane flyer to you, one day you will get the telephone and call her. So also, the nearby Century 21 branch is accepting that next time you get espresso, you will stroll around and change into their next lead (and foreseen customer). Considering everything, they pay remarkable cash for the recognizable quality that has been building their image care each time you passed by and saw their permit up the years.
These are a touch of the different events of how chairmen try to get your business, at any rate you ought not stress over them. You ought to feasibly peer out a Realtor. Basically, the best specialists are routinely the ones who don't have to contribute essentialness arbitrary selling or entryway beating to get their business. Business comes to them through referrals from past customers who are content with their cleaned procedure, steadfastness, and results. Step up and give yourself the most clear chance to win: pick your position carefully.
We should stop for a second to explain this issue about star managers and how they continue ahead. Extraordinary specialists didn't appear in such a state by unwinding around accepting that business will come to them. Or on the other hand maybe, their flourishing is the result of broad stretches of inconvenient work fabricating their affiliations and authoritative scopes so as to get to the position where they no longer need vigorous publicizing. Kindly don't dumbfound a director's forcefulness with a terrible thing. A proactive chairman is an astounding sign! The individual is basically trying to see where you are the degree that the purchasing cycle. An executive has to know whether you are needing to move one month from now, or are wanting to begin looking one month from now - there is a goliath separation! Occasionally executives who don't have to progress do as such at any rate so as to keep up a character in the association. So likewise as picking the best authority is definitely not a precise science, nor is the way that remarkable overseers highlight and advance themselves.
Understanding what I know, on the off chance that I expected to locate the best realtor for my first-time buy, I would follow two fundamental plans: I would solicit a couple from people I knew and trusted for Realtor proposition, and I would break down the online association buyer regions for vivaciously suggested Realtors.
As I alluded to in advance, the best managers are the ones who get trustworthy referrals. You ought to be one of those referrals! You ought to get some information about their latest relationship with land. Ideally, you need to ask individuals who purchased their homes inside the previous year or something along those lines, in any case a referral to a power somebody has worked with various occasions is a not all that terrible sign. Continually extra an open quality for what individuals are letting you know. As a rule, we people have an inalienable need to share mind blowing encounters, so you should take any recommendations with uncommon fervor and hence qualify them with demands concerning the experience. At whatever point I get a referral from a past customer or old mate, I am enabled! I am beginning at now going to have a more strong relationship with the referral, and there is a not all that awful possibility the new customer and I will fill in to the degree character.
I will ALWAYS treat customers proposed me by individuals I know at a more raised level than online "leads" or different requests. No ifs, ands or buts, the degree of obligation concerning the purchaser is a significant sum more essential when it's a referral from a superior than normal source. I was unable to think about giving up that my essential treatment of an Internet lead showed up diversely corresponding to a referral is extraordinary, yet inevitably it certainly is! I can rely on a referral; I can't rely on an online lead. In this manner I offer need to my referrals, and extra the best assistance for them. Influence a few solicitations, to get referrals, look at the directors' regions, pick your top choices, and plan a chance to meet.
Before you meet a potential overseer, record your most squashing requests. This will truly help with your social occasion. It might be basic to tell the master you are meeting a couple of unmistakable chairmen. This will keep them going about too as could be normal and you will see additionally as can be typical offer. Regularly I scorn it when I am inferred a customer who is "shopping" different specialists, in any case here's the key concern: If I were in your position, I would need to glance around until I meet the Realtor who will address me in the most essential purchasing choice in the sum of my years. It is a sharp plan to look around, regardless of whether it affronts the pro. The one you pick will presumably excuse you.
Here and there, you may feel so relentlessly about a specific master that you don't accept that its basic to meet different overseers. There isn't anything astray with this, to the degree that you have a sense of safety with it. It's entirely expected to see that with an altogether suggested chairman just a lone arrangement is depended upon to see that they genuinely are the best fit for you. You'll presumably be sold on them after that major get-together. Considering, there is an explanation they are that commendable notwithstanding.
The WOW Agent
Test-drive your typical head during the social event! You're enrolling your professional generally for their region authority. Their most colossal resources are their near to information on (the market, costs and stock), their capacity to organize and oversee real issues, their capacity to regulate assessments and paralyzes, and their capacity to interface with you before long and help usher you at your advancement through the exchange. In what manner may you know your Realtor's aptitudes before you start? Stance demands! Your position should leave you saying "Bewildering!" and feeling amped up for the cycle ahead. Watch out for that "Goodness" chairman. You will know when you locate that individual, and you will be upbeat you did!

hands all over
Pairing: bucky barnes x reader
Summary: with the summer in full swing, your eczema is out to play.
Word Count: 1422
Warnings: kissing, allusions to choking
A/N: Wow I’m so happy so many people liked that lil thing I posted yesterday about eczema!! Ya’ll are the reason I love writing, I swear. All the positivity is so inspiring!
what are the unspoken rules for reblogging comments on fics? I feel like some people do it and some don’t cause it clogs the dashboard but what do you guys do?! 
Summer. Summer in New York City meant specks of sunshine that would paint your skin, rays of moonlight that would highlight the grey in Bucky’s eyes, cloudless skies, ice cream, sunsets and sunrises. It meant lazy weekend mornings with Bucky, sundresses, the occasional beach trip, the smell of summer rain, walking through the streets at midnight drunk off of life just because you could, and driving to New Jersey to catch a glimpse of the stars. Summer for you was high ponytails, and your lipstick smudged on Bucky’s lips from sneaking kisses at the biweekly BBQs.
The taste of summer on your tongue usually has you brimming with excitement. Summer was always dreamy.
Usually.
The last few days, though, your eczema has been out of control. Maybe it’s your allergies, even though you’ve been taking your medicine proactively. Maybe its the stress of the presentations you have due for work at the end of the week. Or maybe it’s simply the summer heat coming to catch up with you. 
Your elbows and forearms are an angry red, almost swollen with how much you’ve been itching at them. Your neck and upper chest look discolored. The contrast of the redness and your brown skin is a sight you’re used to. Your skin has started flaking from the ointment you’re using, leaving bright pink patches along with it.
Your brown skin looks like mosaic painting. At least, that’s what Bucky tells you when you groan in frustration. How does something that you’ve been afflicted with since you were a kid still follow you around even decades later? 
Your glasses begin to slide down the bridge of your nose and you huff in annoyance. Everything is annoying you- your glasses, your hair, your own damn self. You’ve been sitting at your dining table for hours, trying to finish this stupid presentation.
And yet, your mind is elsewhere. Your mind is thinking about how nice it would be to just rip your skin off of yourself. Then, you wouldn’t have to deal with the niggling at the back of your mind. 
It feels like there’s another voice inside of you, a quieter voice. But the voice is more dastardly than your own and it keep whispering to you ‘just one more. one more itch.’ That voice is so compelling, rich and velvety and it convinces you without much effort.
Your nails find themselves to your arms, your chest, your neck, your palms without you even thinking about it. You’ve even worn a tank top and the smallest shorts you own. For easy access to your own hands.
Your eyes drift over to the window, where you can see the sun setting. Reds, pinks, oranges, even purples jump out at you. The sun looks a blood orange as it dips into the horizon, warming up the moon’s arrival. 
Now that’s a real mosaic painting, you think to yourself dryly.
The keys jingling in the keyhole, pulling you out from your reverie and you make your way to the door to greet Bucky.
“Hey, boo,” You greet him with a quick kiss and grab the plastic bags in his hands, “What’s all this?”
“Hi, princess,” Bucky says. He scratches the back of his head, a little unsure and you swear his cheeks pink up before he replies, “I saw you were running low on your creams and lotion and pads and stuff...” 
He looks so endearingly nervous and you can’t figure out why, for the life of you. A wide smile pulls on your lips and you kiss his cheek.
“You are so thoughtful, baby,” You are humming with happiness, “Watcha looking so nervous for, huh?” You would cup his face in affection or hold his hand, but your hands are so tender. So you settle for just looking at him. He shrugs and you start putting everything he’s gotten away.
Bucky follows you into your bedroom. You look tired and he can tell you’re annoyed. Mostly with yourself, even if you don’t voice it. Your arms and neck look raw and blistered. Red bumps cover your pretty skin and you’re using your arms as if they aren’t even an extension of yourself. As if you’re disgusted with them, as if you want nothing to do with them.
He knows the feeling. But you helped him accept his arm, and he wants to do the same for you. 
You can feel his blue eyes following you, silently asking you what you need. You hiss in pain when one of the edges of the tube of cream pokes deeply at the open welt in your palm
Bucky is at your side in seconds. You push your glasses up and allow him to peek at your palms.
You always forget how nice the metal hand feels against your hot, flushed skin. But he always remembers.
He’s about to start asking you questions, you can see it in his eyes. But you pull away from him and go back to your laptop, wanting to finish your presentation so that you could properly spend time with him, and you tell him as much. Bucky lets you go with a kiss to the forehead and you smile at him.
The last few nights have been hard for you. Bucky has woken up several times to you raking your nails across your skin in your sleep. In the morning, he’ll sometimes see the sheets tinted with small drops of blood and he’ll wash them before you can see. Because he knows you’ll get upset. On more than one occasion, he’s woken you up and pulled your hands away from your skin. And when your brown eyes pop open blearily, you look at him in confusion.
When you look at your arms and feel your neck, you start crying from the pain and he can’t think of a worse sound. He’ll take you into the shower, soothing your tired arms with his hands and letting the cold water wash away your itchiness. You’ll mumble broken apologies and he’ll kiss away your tears. He’ll stand with you in the cold spray of the shower, until your arms are calmed down and until you’re smiling at him again.
When Bucky walks into the dining table and sits next to you, he’s unsurprised to see you absent-mindedly picking at your skin as you’re focused on your presentation. As if ripping off the flaky skin doesn’t even phase you. He’s come prepared though, with your medicine and creams. 
“Done!” You exclaim and save the powerpoint before closing your laptop. You let out a sigh of relief and lean back in the chair, closing your eyes for a moment. Grabbing his hand, you drag him to the couch and sit on his lap.
Your hands still feel tender. You itch your neck and let your hands sit on Bucky’s metal arm.
And then suddenly an idea floats into your head and you grin at him like a Cheshire cat.
“That smile is scaring me,” Bucky raises an eyebrow at you. His flesh hand rests on your bare thigh, rubbing circles into it.
“Will you do me a favor?” You ask, your finger trailing along his chest. Bucky’s mouth goes dry at the predatory look in your brown eyes and the amused smirk you throw him.
“Will you wrap your hand around my neck? Like right around here,” You use your own hand and show him where you want his hand- right around your neck. Bucky’s eyes widen and his lips are slightly parted in surprise.
“I’m sorry, let me make sure I get this right,” Bucky says, his voice slightly lower than usual, “You want me to choke you? Is that right?”
He looks kind of like a fish out of water, you think. You laugh.
“All I asked was if you can put your metal hand around my neck ‘cause I thought it might feel nice,” You tease, “But hey, if you wanted to choke me, you should’ve said something. I didn’t know you were into that, Barnes. But I have to say-”
Your sentence goes unfinished because he’s scooping you up abruptly and walking you to your bedroom. Once you’re both in your bed, he pulls you into him, his metal hand resting along your neck and chest. The contrast makes you sigh out loud.
“You haven’t even gotten me naked and you’re asking me to choke you,” Bucky shakes his head, mirth filling his eyes, “You’re insane, you know that?”
“Yeah, yeah. I love you, too, baby.”

I WANT TO WRITE EVERY DAY
Written April 14th, 2022
I am learning an insane amount about myself in the smallest moments. Yesterday night, I experienced a feeling I have never fully felt in a long time. It was an almost unbearable desire to write, but overwhelmed by my feeling of exhaustion. I was tired from traveling, emotional conversations with my partner, and feeling an obligation to interact with those around me, versus taking the time to write which oddly felt selfish. I wanted to write and express my feelings, which I ended up doing at the end of the day.
It’s interesting how, when you remove the deadlines, the pressure, and the boundaries on a project, it almost seems that you do it more often. So I’m really happy that I felt that way, even though it felt really crappy to want to write and not have the time to, because now I am going to do what I can to change that. That was the biggest update of the past couple days, which feels good to come to terms with. 
The second thing was this morning’s realization about teeth brushing. I talked about it thoroughly with Benny during my drive to Pas tonight, but I learned that we are hardwired to do activities based on our socialization - what we learn in our individual households and the people in it, as well as what is the constant norm with every person we interact with. (Of course, if all we know is the same people doing the same thing all the time, the more vulnerable we are to conformity and less to differences and all the blessings that come with that. I believe there is strength in embracing difference and being able to empathize and understand all the aspects of your life that you have not experienced yourself, in a different way. I digress!)
I had a whole revelation about teeth brushing. Not as a hygienic activity, but as a conditioned action we implement in our daily lives from when our parents train us to, probably until the day we die. But, what if we were conditioned to meditate every morning without thinking about it the same way we don’t think about brushing our teeth? We don’t seem to schedule time to brush our teeth, but we schedule time for every other task and rank them from importance each day. 
Today’s realization made me realize the power we have to rewire our daily lives, our routines, by implementing actions that we feel will benefit us and change our lives. I desire to meditate daily, or almost daily, to have proactive meditation in my life and to continue to seek enlightenment externally and internally. I believe I am capable of doing this, but this understanding is the first step.
There are more things I realize through the day, like how wise my whole family is, even if it is easy to discount their intelligence simply because they were once foreigners to this country. It is easy to assume my parents do not know as much as I do because I went to college and speak perfect English. It is harder to step back and observe them with a different lens. A loving, compassionate, observational, and understanding lens that brings more dimension out of them, and makes my parents all more present in my life.
Tumblr media
My relationship has been a rickety bridge and climbing across to the side of success has been challenging. I am in constant war with myself to understand whether I am the cause of the issues that are brought into my life. The hardest question I asked myself today was, is the reason why I am giving up is because I am viewing this person as not fit for me? I am actively choosing to see the confirmation bias in my head and am doing my best to step out of it, to see the situation as it is, and this activity in itself is harder than I imagined. It reminds me of the experience of the sympathizer: someone who gets lost in their stance, because they are more concerned about the other person’s perspective, regardless of who the person is. It is habitual empathizing, to the point where it is no longer productive, it really poses you as the bad guy for being unable to choose sides.
This blog post is all over the place, as usual, but I’m learning. I am learning of how to be more patient, accepting, and loving towards myself and others. It is not easy navigating a relationship where it almost seems the person is in a different planet than you, regarding emotional and mental understanding. It is a struggle trying to maintain a good balance in all parts of my life, but the silver lining is all the blessings that surround me.
At this moment, I am present. I can feel my fingers typing on each button. I hear the vibrant music of the prequel of Breaking Bad and see Uncle Bear in my right peripheral view. I can see Julie typing away on Bear’s laptop, healthy and jolly, my favorite person planted only 8 inches left of me. There is immense, immense beauty in the hardship and in the simplicity and the joy. We must find it in order to make the universe work with us. The universe and I are a team!

Day два.
Day 2. Woke up and completely forgot I was in St. Petersburg for a moment. My bed at home is  a queen, and the bed at this hotel is for a tiny person (in fact, I think my bed at ND was larger...) Anyway, I rolled over as per usual, and completely rolled off the bed. 
I never would have thought, in my wildest dreams, I would one day wake up in Russia. Here’s to just pulling the trigger and making it happen. 
Tumblr media
Today, as mentioned yesterday, is Hermitage day. I didn’t know what exactly to expect, except all blogs mentioned to a) buy your ticket in advance (online) and b) get there early. The museum opens at 10, and I had planned on getting there at 10, except halfway through the 20 minute walk I realized I forgot my wallet and visa so I had to go walk back to the hotel and then walk back again, basically adding another 30 minutes to my trip. I arrived around 10:30.
I will say, walking up to the Winter Palace (Hermitage) was surreal. It’s HUGE. 
Below is the arch you walk through which reveals the mammoth Palace
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve seen Buckingham Palace in London and Versailles in Paris. I will say that they are NOTHING compared to the Hermitage Museum in terms of shear size. It’s kind of crazy that those arches completely conceal the Palace until you start to walk through it. Then you see like...part of the Palace, but it’s not until you walk through the arch that there is this instantaneous reveal. Included in the reveal is the shock of just seeing the Palace in full + the huge size of it spanning your vision across the X-axis + all the blue sky and empty space that just silences you for a moment. 
SIDE NOTE: For whatever stupid, immature reason, every time I think of the “reveal”, I think of that scene from Mario 64 when you’re running towards a photo of the Princess and it turns out to be Bowser. No, I’m not drunk, don’t ask me why I think of these things at the most random times. And yes, I did spend 15 minutes searching for this photo collage. 
Tumblr media
Anyway. I am sure the Winter Palace is GORGEOUS during winter. The acoustics of the space when it’s covered in snow must be like...next level. I’m sure St. Petersburg during the winter is amazing. 
If you want a history lesson on the Hermitage, the Hermitage website has a great timeline. Again, as with the other blogs, I’m not going to be going into detail about images of the place or the history of the pieces exhibited. So many other blogs have done it so much better and I’m not going to butcher that. I’ll just mention a few things that stuck out to me, and you can Google around and figure it out.
I will say that if you do visit, I can offer a couple of tips you may want to follow.
1) The map. The map is confusing but not. You’ll just find yourself getting annoyed because, when you know where you are going, the gaggle of tourists and tourist groups will spin you around and suddenly you forget which way is which. Because the museum is HUGE (I saw maybe 1/8th of the museum in 4-5 hours?) you have to prioritize what to see. Keep in mind that, as time elapses, the museum becomes more and more inundated with the dreaded tourist groups, basically making your chances of getting a clear photo of anything nill. 
2) Tourists (a.k.a. the “Boos”). See the map below. The Hermitage has 3 floors. Below is a floor plan of probably the most popular floor, thanks to Mr. da Vinci and many of the decorative palace rooms (amongst other exhibits):
Tumblr media
The good thing is that the map kind of pulls out the most famous exhibits and shows you what room they are in. This makes your job of figuring out where you need to go to cross out those items from your bucket list easy. The bad part: The enemy (a.k.a. tourists groups a.k.a. “boos”) also know where these pieces are and are racing as well to find them. The good news: the boos are with tourist groups and have to wait until the tour guide guides them to the room with the exhibit. So, you have time to beat them to it and snag the photo if you are quick. 
Tumblr media
Just like in Mario, as time progresses and you aren’t being proactive, more and more of these guys are going to flood the Museum and follow you and clog up the exhibits. So, how do you win? I suggest getting to the museum first thing, then IMMEDIATELY source those famous exhibits, get your photos, then start at the beginning. Most of the tourists are going to be spending a large portion of their time taking photos of the great hall, which leaves you time to sneak past. Case in point:
Tumblr media
The line to da Vinci. It was actually way worse a bit earlier when I came around again. I managed to get there early enough and snagged a decent photo:
Tumblr media
In general, just like Versailles, the rooms are huge and ornate and absolutely beautiful. I was standing by a window, looking out into the courtyard from what was probably a ballroom in the palace, and thought to myself who else, years ago, was gazing forlornly (or with happiness, or deep in thought) out this same window.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that is the most magical part about these palace museums: people LIVED here. People also died here, were executed, fell in love, gave birth, went mad. And when you see relics of those like ridiculous looking Russian uniforms or weird trinkets from decades past, you have to remember that, no, these weren’t fashioned after film props, but film props fashioned after the real living thing. And the real living thing from 100+ years ago is right in front of you. 
It’s pretty spectacular. 
Tumblr media
Oh, so this was exciting: The were having a temporary exhibit, and it was REMBRANDT!! Mike! I’m sure you have seen most of these because they sourced the pieces from the Leiden collection...maybe you have seen some of these at the Frick?
Anyway, there was NO PHOTOGRAPHY so I couldn’t really snag photos of pieces specifically. 
Tumblr media
I did find myself in a Jean-Baptiste while lost in the French wing:
Tumblr media
I didn’t and couldn’t wander the halls for the full 4-5 hours straight. I took a couple of breaks, grabbing a coffee at the cafe for 15 minutes before trying again. I do suggest you break up your visit to the Hermitage into two days; it really is the only way to not feel like your brain is going to explode. 
Afterwards, I took a walk outside by the water behind the Palace. 
Tumblr media
Gratuitous selfie. That’ll be two hundred rubles. 
At this point, I had about 2.5 hours to kill before I needed to make my way to the Mariinsky Theater for the performance. So, I did what anyone should do, and that is wander around and picked up a snack to munch on (sorry, no photo of munchies).
Tumblr media
There were people painting on the lawn, and I meant to come back and scope out the progress, but became distracted so I didn’t. I did manage to view a live performance (there are performers EVERYWHERE) and I’ll have to post in a separate blog entry because I still can’t figure out how to take the video from my phone and stick it here. 
I stopped at a progressive burger joint (in terms of menu options) for my “snack” (I didn’t eat breakfast despite my large leftovers still sitting in the refrigerator) and ate one of these guys sans burger sauce:
Tumblr media
It’s essentially a falafal burger with cucumbers and halved grape tomatoes inside. The bun was my least favorite part (larger in circumference than the patty, which drives me INSANE) so I ditched it angrily. The bun and the burger should be the same size, and the patty should be thicker than each half of the bun. If the top bun is thicker than the patty, the bun is trash. BESIDES THAT ISSUE, the patty was actually really flavorful, and the veggies were (surprise!) slightly pickled. I wasn’t a huge fan of the background of dill I tasted, but that’s fine. The lunch hit the spot and I felt alive again. 
I know, call me a hypocrite for yelling about wasting food and here I am ditching a perfectly good bun. Well, arguably it wasn’t perfectly good, but I did take a bite and decided I much preferred the insides. Whatever. To quote Trump, “Who cares, we won!”
ASHLEY SIDE NOTE: It’s actually been great being overseas, because I have been shielded from all the US politics. However, I did catch a headline today and I mistakenly checked out Trump’s interview and wow...glad I am over here.
Eventually, I made my way to the theater via Uber (there is no Lyft here, and taxis are a little...shady. And slow. And expensive). I will have to comment on Russian driving (or, driving in Russia):
1) It’s nuts. Nuttier than cabbies and NYC driving. Nuttier than driving in France. Probably not nuttier than driving in Vietnam or other places where you are competing with scooters and cars, but it’s still pretty nutty.
2) However, I noticed that they do one thing correctly and without anger that we don’t do in America, and that is merging. In Russia, they utilize the “zipper merge” technique quite patiently and diligently, which, after taking 3 Ubers and cursing under my breath at the “assholes” who merged at the last minute, I realized that this was common and drivers didn’t sweat it. 
“Those apparently rude drivers are putting more of the roadway to use and thus helping speed things along, in much the same way water flows faster through a funnel than through a straw.”
3) There is no bus lane or real lanes in general (I mean, there are lines painted in the road but people disregard them) and cars are just weaving in and out, trying to avoid buses, bikers, etc. And everyone drives stick, so it can get a little rough at times.
Anyway, I manged to get to the theater at the nick of time (traffic is TERRIBLE) and had decent balcony seating:
Tumblr media
The Mariiinsky Theater isn’t huge, but the acoustics are really good. The ballet itself was really interesting. Interesting in the sense that this performance, in terms of skill, seemed to be this mix of gracefulness and like...cirque du soleil. I haven’t seen many ballets, but the ones I have seen did not showcase these magnificent bouts of exaggerated athleticism as performed by these dancers (i.e. 360 degree turns ad infinitum, Labron Jamesesque slam dunk vertical leaps, etc). Don’t get me wrong; these dancers are incredible and it was fun to watch them exhibit their unrelenting strength. However, I felt, where the narrative fell short, the shock and awe carried it through.
 I have to be honest and say that I’m not the type to sit through a long, dry opera or ballet, so Le Corsaire broke through any of that fear and was much appreciated. Given we are in the world of #metoo, the plot didn’t really adhere to the moral standard (the narrative is much about the selling of women as slaves, that people of the Middle Eastern ethnicity is less than smart, etc). Yeah, not the best message. However, despite the immature and possibly offensive plot, the artistry was really good...the backgrounds and costumes were beautiful, and the music was moving. I really liked the duo in Act II...I believe it’s the Adagio, but I will have to go back through the soundtrack to figure it out. 
Tumblr media
Afterwards, I ate a really light and late dinner and came back to the hotel where I am writing this. It’s past midnight, and I am officially 63 years old!*
youtube
Tomorrow, I think i will visit the Faberge museum, then the Anna Akhamatova Museum, then a food market called  the Kuznechny Market where I will try to buy some caviar, THEN bday dinner, then I need to hit the hay because I have a 6AM train out of Russia and into Estonia. I am really feeling sad that my stay in Russia is ending, but excited to see two more countries. 
Until tomorrow!
*I told the waiter today was my birthday, and he said, “Congratulations”. What a curious response. I suppose living is a task, and becoming a year older is like a life promotion.

All That Glitters || Mistress & the submissive
Excerpt: 
“Eyes open and use your voice boy,” Mistress demanded.  “Tell me what’s the matter.”  
The submissive opened his eyes, gazing into the Domme’s.  “In hopes that I might find some Dominant, such as yourself, who might want to take me home and fuck me, before getting dressed I...” he struggled with the admission, “...put in a plug.”  The submissives eyes moved back down to his feet.
“Eyes back up here,” Mistress demanded.  “There are so many Dominants here this evening, but none quite as beautiful or demanding as me, is what you meant to say,” she teased with a knowing smirk.  “And look at you, being all proactive.  I wonder if you will truly get to enjoy your efforts tonight.”  She stepped back, dropping her hand, and gathering one side of her skirt, flipping it to reveal how high it allowed access.  The Domme took another sip of champagne.  
There was nothing quite like a formal bow tie and white tails event to bring out the most glamorous and outrageous fashions.  The only thing that could have satisfied Mistress more was if it had been a masqued event as well.  A survey of her closet and Mistress pulled out a dress in a gold silk.  It draped and wrapped around her frame, the wrap of the skirt giving easy access should it be desired, without the gaudiness of a daring open slit.  
Mistress loved nothing more than beautiful people dressed up in beautiful clothes; men in well cut suits being a particular craving she loved to indulge.  The champagne was flowing, the music easy enough on the ears, and Mistress was enjoying herself.  Her eyes scanned the crowd, looking for her next victim dance partner.  The Domme spied him out on the terrace, and grabbing two fresh glasses of champagne from a waiter’s tray, she strode confidently across the room and out onto the terrace.  
“I thought you could use a drink.” Mistress said, holding out a flute while taking a sip from her own.  “Imagine my surprise and disappointment, to discover one of the best dressed, and good looking submissive men out here alone on the terrace and not inside dancing.  Please don’t disappoint me and tell me you don’t dance,” she teased.  
The submissive took the champagne flute from the Domme with a tilt of his head. “Thank you Mistress,” he said, mind reeling at the idea of this beautiful creature having sought him out; quite sure there must be some other reason for it.  “Just getting some air.  Haven’t had many requests to dance yet this evening.”  
“No?” The Domme asked with a tilt of her head moving closer.  “Then consider that tragedy rectified.  When we’ve finished our champagne, we will dance,” she instructed.  The Domme let her hand trail across the submissive’s shoulder and down his arm to his elbow.  “It is ever so discouraging to see people missing the true diamonds in the rough.  But I suppose I shouldn’t complain all too much since it allows me to occupy your time without too much fight.”
“No fight at all Mistress,” the submissive said, before swallowing a mouthful of champagne.  He shivered at her light touch, like electricity pricking from her fingertips to the nerves under his skin.  It made him painfully aware of the device he was wearing, and shifted, a pleasant sort of wince crossing his face.
Noticing his distress, the Domme immediately turned, hand coming up to tilt his chin up.  “Are you alright boy?”  she demanded.  
Eyes closed, the submissive nodded his head, willing his body to not betray him, and cause further embarrassment.
“Eyes open and use your voice boy,” Mistress demanded.  “Tell me what’s the matter.”  
The submissive opened his eyes, gazing into the Domme’s.  “In hopes that I might find some Dominant, such as yourself, who might want to take me home and fuck me, before getting dressed I...” he struggled with the admission, “...put in a plug.”  The submissives eyes moved back down to his feet.
“Eyes back up here,” Mistress demanded.  “There are so many Dominants here this evening, but none quite as beautiful or demanding as me, is what you meant to say,” she teased with a knowing smirk.  “And look at you, being all proactive.  I wonder if you will truly get to enjoy your efforts tonight.”  She stepped back, dropping her hand, and gathering one side of her skirt, flipping it to reveal how high it allowed access.  The Domme took another sip of champagne.  
The submissive nodded.  “Of course Mistress; I’m sorry.”  He watched, swallowing a thick lump as she stepped back, her touch and closeness immediately missed, and smooth skin revealed between folds of golden silk.  Damn, fucking hell, he thought, squeezing his eyes shut and biting into his lip until he tasted the familiar tang of blood, shifting against the plug in his ass.  
Mistress tsked lightly.  “Whatever am I going to do to keep your eyes open boy?” she leaned in to whisper against his ear.
The warmth of her breath against his ear pulled another shiver, even as the submissive opened his eyes.  “I don’t know Mistress.  It’s not like you could very well spank me here.”
“Couldn’t I?” Mistress laughed.  “If I demanded you drop your pants right now, and leaned over the railing, and showed off that plug in addition to other things, would you not obey me?”
“Of course Mistress”, he groaned.  “Are you demanding that of me?  What would you use to strike me?”
“That’s much better boy,” Mistress mewled.  She stepped forward, the hint of a strap under his jacket.  She slipped one beautifully manicured finger under  the strap of the suspenders and pulled it up an inch before releasing it.  “With your pants around your ankles you won’t have the need for suspenders now will you?”
“No, I wouldn’t Mistress,” the submissive agreed, yelping slightly as his suspenders clapped back against his skin.  “You still didn’t answer if this is what you want.”
“What I want is for you to finish your champagne so we can dance,” Mistress said, deciding the submissive was far too interested in the idea for it to be an effective punishment at the moment.  “Can’t give you absolutely everything you want when you want it, now can I?”
The submissive deflated where he stood, but he gulped down the flute of champagne, watching as the Mistress sipped the rest of hers.  Once he finished his champagne, the submissive held out his hand.  “May I have this dance Mistress?”
Mistress finished her champagne, and set down the glass, taking the submissive’s as well, and setting them on the railing.  “You may indeed beautiful boy,” she said, offering her hand, and pulling his own with hers up towards his mouth, indicating he should kiss her hand.  
The submissive’s cheeks burned red at the missed cue but he followed quick and brought her hand to lips, pressing a kiss to the top of her hand.  “Thank you Mistress, you are far too kind,” he said, leading them expertly back into the ballroom and onto the dance floor.  The submissive easily pulled the Domme into his arms.  He was keenly aware of the the feel of his work labored hands against the Domme’s silky skin.
“And you’re even more beautiful in that particular shade of red,” Mistress cooed.  She was impressed with his skills on the dance floor as he pulled her into his arms. The skin on his hands was rough, no doubt from years of farm work, but Mistress found she didn’t mind it.  Especially the hand that slid to the small of her back, and the exposed skin from the open back of her dress.  “Where did you learn to dance like this?”
The submissive shook his head.  “I don’t know.  I think it must be you, Mistress,” he smiled.  
“Oh is that so now,” Mistress smiled.  “Flatterer.”
“It’s not flattery if it’s true.” 
“Oh hush boy before I do something to shut you up,” Mistress instructed quietly.  She squeezed his hip.  
“I am not opposed to that at all,” the submissive replied, eyes glinting.  
Mistress chuckled.  “And didn’t we just go over how I’m not going to give you everything you want, when you want it.  If you’re not careful, you’re going to have nothing but that plug in your ass tonight,” she pressed up against the submissive’s lean frame to whisper in his ear.  The Domme felt him shiver against her again, and as he spun her around, his leg sliding between his, she ground down onto his thigh, rolling her hips against his.  
“Mistress,” the submissive whined as she rubbed against his leg.  He could feel his cock begin to swell with arousal, and he shifted as his ass clenched around the plug.  
Mistress let her hand wander up, fingers carding through the submissive’s hair, fingers gripping the strands and tugging gently.  “Yes boy?” she whispered into his ear again.  Her fingers continued to tease his hair.  
The submissive titled his head back into her tug, not at all embarrassed that he moaned softly and missed a step.  “Sorry,” he murmured, tightening his grip on the Domme, and pulling her a little closer determined to finish this dance and be everything Mistress wanted so she might help him with what he wanted most.  “You just feel really good,” the submissive said softly.  
“So do you,” Mistress agreed.  “And you’re so responsive and make such beautiful sounds.  I want to hear them again,” she said tugging his hair again. 
The submissive moaned again, this time having just enough warning to bury his head into the Domme’s shoulder.   He somehow kept them moving around the dance floor.
“Beautiful, beautiful,” Mistress cooed.  “Keep being this good of a boy and I’m definitely going to bring you home with me tonight,” she whispered into his ear.  “I’m going to get you to drop those pants to your ankles.  Can you just picture how the skirt of my dress is going to billow out when I crouch down, and take your cock into my mouth while my hands reach around and play with that plug?”
The submissive was painfully hard now, the mere thought of Mistress’ mouth on his cock driving him insane; let alone her hands playing with the plug in his ass. “I can,” he nodded eagerly.  “I can picture it.  I can almost feel it,” he drawled.  
Mistress let her mouth ghost over the submissive’s pulse point on the side of his neck.  “Can you feel that?”
“Yes Mistress,” the submissive replied lowly, wishing the song to just end already.  He spun them both around again, watching as the skirt of the Domme’s dress fluttered around them.  As the song came to an end, the submissive dipped the Domme.  
Mistress raised her leg and hooked it over the submissive’s hip as he dipped her.  The back of the heel of her foot slid over his ass and hopefully pushed on the plug.  She was rewarded with a grunt from the submissive before she straightened back up and brushed an air kiss to his cheek.  “I must make some rounds and socialize, and you should too,” the Domme instructed.  “See you in a little bit.”

i think the only way i can describe my state of mind for the last like six months as: when you were a little kid, and you'd get so invested in a book you really forgot about the real world for a bit - it's the feeling of when you get out of that. when you wake up from the fantasy and that first glance just above the page. that feeling of your stomach dropping just a little because you remember that no, this is real life. this is YOUR life. and then no matter how hard you try, you just can't immerse yourself like before into the book - you're distracted and you can't refocus.
that's how i feel about my life right now. im trying so desperately hard to see past the cosmic or metaphysical, or the biological function behind everything. I see the smallest action by someone around me and I feel like i don't see people anymore, just (slightly) smarter animals acting in their natural ways we always have, just in modified ways. i hate being reminded we're just animals, i hate the fact that we as a species even exist. i seem to have unlocked a newfound kind of existential hopelessness for myself. all we can do our whole lives is tell ourselves lies about what eternity will be like, whether it's in the afterlife or complete darkness forever - but either way eternity will be unbearable. it's either nothing, or what? a constant cycle of everything all at once? that would drive anyone insane over the course of trillions and trillions of years. getting to the 'end'? that's still death somehow, just then you know there isn't a way back for real. watching the sun die? only cool in theory. my worst fear.
if there is a god, he is a cruel child. we do not mean anything to him, and what we've done to each other as a species is proof enough.
all of that little spiral i just seem to have went on is exactly what im talking about. i can't focus on my life anymore, i cant see any meaning - and in some way all these half intrusive paranoid thoughts half severe depression existential crisis thoughts have actually helped me get better, or at least be more proactive. but. now im doing all the motions right in a way that makes me feel happy with what im doing yes, im in a stable place and I've lost a lot of weight and im really secure in myself and i don't think i would have achieved as much as i have self improvement wise over the last couple of months without the kick of terrified intense restlessness the fear of existing has gifted me. BUT, it's also the aforementioned fear. that fear holds me hostage, and i can't refocus back into my life the way i used to. my immersion feels broken. im scared im never going to be able to focus back in ever again,,
there are things to help, and i do do them - i worry that to whomever finds this blog that i sound whiny while never actually trying to fix my problems, and maybe thats just my insecurities talking but. for my own peace of mind im putting my little disclaimer that i am actively working on myself and the things i talk about being insecure about all the time, and sometimes even the things I'm talking about being insecure about I'm aware that logically sometimes aren't super big problems for me anymore but i still am very insecure bout them bc i am very insecure, and have now said the word insecure about 5 times in this paragraph. BUT what I'm trying to say is is that im working on it and I've found things to help it and dippers is real good for grounding me especially when it gets bad, and if all else fails I rely on cigarettes, weed and disordered eating.
at least im too scared to die for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

S1E2: “House of the Rising Son”
Because The Originals recently debuted their series finale, I thought I would share my rather lengthy recaps of the first six episodes of the series that I did a year ago. I was so pumped about the show I made my own Wordpress website and everything. Now I have these lonely recaps with nowhere to put them but here! Enjoy if you want.
We begin this episode by embarking on another tour through New Orleans. I’m starting to sense a running theme.
“The city of New Orleans,” exclaims all-powerful leader, Marcel Gerard, “people of all stripes and flavors from all over the country come here to party on our streets. Some are just looking for fun, some are looking for something a little darker, more dangerous. So we invite them into our home, and give it to them. Then at the stroke of midnight, everything changes, and its time to feed.”
On screen we see one of Marcel’s classic raves being turned into dinner time for the vampires. Marcel is up above watching the chaos, while explaining his methods to Klaus. In walks Thierry, Marcel’s trusted advisor, to inform him of the latest situation. Apparently six nightwalkers were killed outside the Quarter, but who could have possibly done such a thing? We get a glimpse of Rebekah Mikaelson driving away in a lavish car, wiping blood off her cheek and smiling. Oh Rebekah, you look so cute right after murder.
Meanwhile, at the plantation house Rebekah drives up leaving another worried message for Elijah. Only, Elijah cannot call back because he is somewhere daggered in a box. That’s when Rebekah meets Hayley, she’s as charming as ever mistaking Hayley for the maid while screaming for Klaus to tell her where Elijah is.
Tumblr media
As Rebekah is searching the house for Elijah, we are gifted flashbacks of when the Mikaelson’s once lived in the plantation house in 1820. We learn that Rebekah once loved the governors son, so naturally, Klaus killed him. We are given Rebekah’s perspective of events and through her eyes, you hate to admit, Klaus looks like a cruel and brutal brother, of whom deserves Rebekah’s ire.
“Well, he wasn’t good enough for you.” Explains Klaus.
“No one was ever good enough for me, Nik. You made sure of that. Now where’s Elijah?”
Klaus recieves a text from Marcel asking him to meet for drinks, queuing Klaus’ exit. Meanwhile, Rebekah enlists Hayley for help in the search for Elijah. This unlikely duo ventures down into the dusty cellar where the Mikaelson family coffins are on, how Hayley puts it, “stand-by.” However, this macabre sight hardly fazes Rebekah, and she concludes that Elijah’s coffin isn’t here.
“Where to next Rebekah?”
“To go vamp around Sophie Deveraoux and make her totally freak out, before I demand she help me find Elijah!”
“Awesome!”
Sophie brings Rebekah to the creepy cemetery, and informs her she can’t do magic without punishment from Marcel because he has a way to tell when a witch is doing magic, and the witches can’t leave because they practice ansestral magic. Because Rebekah has hit a roadblock, she tells Sophie how idiotic her plan is of bringing down Marcel at the hands of Klaus because “Klaus loved him like a son.”
Flashback
“I was there the day they met. We were burying Emil, the governors only son. Or so we thought. Turns out the governor had another son, from a mother he owned.”
Klaus sees the boy, screaming in pain as the whip comes overtop of him another time. Angered by his torment, the boy retaliates by throwing an apple at his oppressor, which results in another blow. However, at this sight Klaus intervenes and kills the man and asks the boy for his name. Only the boy doesn’t have one, so Klaus names him Marcellus. After the “god of war.”
Returning back to present day, Klaus and Marcel are out drinking. Klaus notices that Marcel’s attention is elsewhere, and follows his gaze to the brave bartender, Cami. Klaus is wondering aloud why Marcel hasn’t just eaten her yet, but he’s wondering to himself how he could use this to his advantage. Marcel tries to change the subject to the tourists in transition, and Marcel assumes they were drunk and fell when the vampire blood was still in their system. But, as Cami is walking away to leave, Marcel is still clearly distracted by her, so he decides to help Marcel out by supplying the lamest line.
“Excuse me love? What’s that your studying?”
“Abnormal psychology.”
“Abnormal psychology. Well…” Klaus shuffles Cami to their table, “perhaps you could help me diagnose my friend over here. He’s been a little bit depressed. Can’t keep his mind of a girl, he says she’s a queen, fit for a king.” LAME. “I think he should just cut his losses and move on. What’s your professional opinion?”
Cami, playing along says, “be a nice guy. And maybe the opportunity will present itself one day.”
Marcel decides to jump in and ask Cami out, she says she’ll consider it.
Tumblr media
Next we find Hayley, she’s at a witches shop looking for wolfsbane. Why would she want wolfsbane when it hurts werewolves? We get the answer when Hayley says she wants to kill a little wolf. The witch helps her, but when Hayley leaves she calls someone and tells them if you want to gain points, tell Marcel there is a werewolf in the Quarter. Mysterious. Not to mention problematic, being that a woman, needing help, goes to another woman thinking that she’ll understand, but instead rats her out. Shameful.
Meanwhile, Marcel takes Klaus to go see the two people in transition. Marcel makes a contest out of it. Seeing as he doesn’t want to turn them both I guess. Whoever picks up the coin will be a vampire, the other will die. There is a guy and a girl, of whom Marcel refers to as “cute dorky girl” and “gay best friend.” Marcel drops the coin and the girl snatches it up. The “gay best friend” is betrayed and hurt, while the “cute dorky girl” starts looking crazy and manic while she justifies her actions. Marcel snaps her neck.
“I have a thing about people betraying their friends.”
Woah. Subtext.
Marcel is taking a phone call and Klaus is escorting Josh (the gay best friend) into the car when you see Rebekah overhead watching.
Flashback
A young Marcel is fencing with Rebekah. It’s clear he has his first crush. How sweet.
Adult Marcel and Rebekah are now fencing. Marcel goes in for the kiss, but before he could Klaus walks in.
Back to the present, Marcel interrupts Rebekah’s memories and claims to not want to get in the middle of Mikaelson family drama.
Flashback
Marcel is trying, and failing, to convince Klaus that there’s nothing going on between him and Rebekah. However the conversation quickly takes a turn when Marcel asks why Klaus hasn’t turned him into a vampire yet. This is a side of Marcel we haven’t seen. We’ve seen confident Marcel. But never vulnerable.
We return to present day, and Rebekah asks Marcel if he is still afraid of Klaus.
“I’m afraid of no one.”
Then he vamps off.
We find Klaus at Rousseau’s, enjoying a drink, when Marcel storms in.
This whole interaction is fantastic:
“I know that face. Woman trouble.”
“Your a dick. You know that! Why didn’t you tell me your sister’s is back in town?
“I thought it more amusing for you to find out for yourself.”
“Is there anything else I need to know?”
“Only, she’s grown considerably more insane in the last century.”
“Or, maybe, it was her who killed my guys.”
“Doubtful. Unless that biker bar is frequented by small-town high school quarterbacks, I can’t imagine she’d be interested.”
*Marcel’s phone rings*
*Thierry:* “Just got a tip. Someone saw a werewolf in Bienville Park.”
“Get a couple of nightwalkers to run it down. Bring me back its head.”
*Marcel hangs up*
“Well, I guess that solves the mystery of the murdered riff raff. I guess my sister’s in the clear.”
“About that. I don’t have time for Mikaelson family drama. You’re my guest. Keep your sister in line.”
“I’d have a greater chance of draining the Mississippi with a straw!”
Meanwhile, we find Hayley sitting alone in a park. She hasn’t taken the wolfsbane, she’s talking herself into it.
Tumblr media
When a vampire vamps in out of nowhere, Hayley throws the wolfsbane/vervain combination into his face. Two other vampires show up, but not to worry, Rebekah swoops in and rips their hearts out.
At the plantation house, Klaus has stacked the dead vampires into a pile perturbed because they are supposed to be keeping a low profile. Rebekah starts accusing Klaus of not being proactive, so Klaus reveals his master plan.
Kill acouple of the people who still had vampire blood in their system from Marcel’s party, so they’ll turn into vampires and Klaus can compel them before they consume any vervain (which resulted in Josh)
Compel Josh
Compel Cami to go out with Marcel and report back what she finds out
Drain the vampire who is still alive of vervain so he could compel him to tell Marcel “his mates found religion and moved to Utah” to explain why he lost more vampires
Back in the house, Klaus demands why Hayley was out in the French Quarter in the first place, and her answer results in Klaus choking the life out of her. Rebekah stops him, and reminds him once again, that its okay to care. And all Elijah and Rebekah have ever wanted for him was to be happy. Feeling guilty, Klaus reveals that he gave Elijah to Marcel as a sign of good faith.
Out on the front porch, Rebekah and Hayley have a heart to heart.
Flashback
Marcel and Rebekah are caught kissing, so Klaus daggers Rebekah.
Hayley appreciates all of Rebekah’s help so Hayley gives Rebekah the daggers that she found under their coffins.
Meanwhile, Marcel and Cami are on a date! But it doesn’t last all of two seconds before Rebekah storms in demanding that Marcel release Elijah. Being that Rebekah did a lot of vampire stuff in front of Cami, Marcel compels her to forget and to go home. And Marcel takes Rebekah to the attic where he is holding the young and very powerful witch, Davina. Davina uses her magic to throw Rebekah out a window. Ouch.
Flashback
Rebekah is waking up from being daggered, and Klaus is sitting across from her.
“Well, its about time. I was bored waiting, but I did so want to see your face, and it is indeed priceless.”
“You bastard. What day is it?”
“Sunday.”
“I have been daggered for a whole week? Marcel, what have you done to him?”
“Its 1887, Rebekah. You’ve been daggered for 52 years.”
“What?”
“And don’t worry about Marcel, I presented him with a choice. He could choose to live out the rest of his human days with you, or I could turn him instead, as he’s always wanted, in exchange for giving you up.”
“No. He wouldn’t do that to me.”
“Oh, but he did.”
In present day Rebekah is laying in what was her old room, but is now Marcel’s. Marcel threatens Rebekah telling her that was once hers and her brothers is now his. Oh, and by the way, don’t ever touch Cami again.
Back at the plantation house, Hayley is sleeping and Klaus is snooping through her things wondering if she took the poison. Hayley wakes up and assures him that she didn’t. When she was fighting off the vampires, she was protecting the baby as well as herself. Klaus respects her strength, and calls her once again his endearing nickname for her, “little wolf.” Oh, and he’ll make sure they’ll have proper air conditioning.
Rebekah storms in the house and informs Klaus that Marcel’s secret weapon is Davina the Teenage Witch. Only, she can’t remember where she was because she wiped her memory of the location. Both Klaus and Rebekah vow to do what ever it takes to get Elijah back.
Tumblr media
There you have it, the second episode of The Originals!

Grimes, Serena Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow Talk AI, Ventures And Pivots At Web Summit 2020
New Post has been published on https://perfectirishgifts.com/grimes-serena-williams-gwyneth-paltrow-talk-ai-ventures-and-pivots-at-web-summit-2020/
Grimes, Serena Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow Talk AI, Ventures And Pivots At Web Summit 2020
Tech investor Serena Williams with Away cofounder Jen Rubio
AI was top of mind at Web Summit 2020 held last week as celebrity founders and funders took to the small screen to discuss digital twins, autonomous weapons and how to govern Mars.
Over 100,000 viewers tuned into the virtual conference, up 300% from the airing of its sister show Collision From Home held earlier this year, and up 30,000 attendees from 2019 when the event was last physically held in Portugal, according to the show’s producers. A production so flawless that unicorn maker, Garry Tan, predicted the platform would be worth a billion dollars if they ever chose to spin it out.
But what really made Web Summit a standout was its clever mix of programming. No other tech show has yet to cast Hollywood’s most famous meth dealers, Contagion’s patient zero, the Princess Bride and Captain America discussing pivots from end times. Netflix and Amazon should take note – Web Summit was by far the best streaming entertainment of the week.
Some great insights were shared on the promise and perils of AI by Mark Cuban, Deepak Chopra, Ronnie Chieng, Alexa’s boss, Grimes, Ridley Scott, Palmer Luckey, Elad Gil, Garry Tan, Nicole Quinn, Gwyneth Paltrow, Serena Williams, Jen Rubio, Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. Here are the highlights.
My Digital Twin
Shark Tank host Mark Cuban
“I wish someone would invent an AI model of the human body that could be individualized,” Mark Cuban said. A mini me of sorts with a copy of all bodily functions where simulations could be run to tell you, “Your throat isn’t sore, you ate something that’s bothering your esophagus which can be cured by A, B, C or D in seven days.”
Journalist Emily Ragobeer in conversation with Deepak Chopra and Lars Buttler
Deepak Chopra then introduced his own version of a mini me, Digital Deepak, a wellness guide for sleep, stress management, yoga, breathing, exercise, emotional resilience, nutrition, balancing circadian rhythms and self awareness. The best selling author only half-joked that he uploaded his consciousness to the AI Foundation to provide users with valuable insights from his 91 books. Although its not clear how biometrics will be tracked on the app, AI Foundation cofounder and CEO Lars Buttler gave assurances that everyone will be able to train their own Personal AI soon and that safeguards were being taken to prevent deepfakes made on the platform.
But can your AI take a joke?
“AI can get a well known joke or play on words because it knows when it understands something. If its confidence interval is narrow and it doesn’t know what’s going on, it will say I don’t know this yet, let me learn more about this,” Buttler explained.
Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng answering audience questions, “Will AI ever be as funny as you?”
“Will AI ever be as funny as Ronnie Chieng?”
“AI funny as me?! I hope not, I’ll be out of a job,” Daily Show’s Ronnie Chieng said as he responded to audience questions, “Right now I can’t even get Alexa to set a timer without selling me an ad. If it’s going to be as funny as me, it probably will sell more ads, so maybe?”
He then mimicked about how chatty Alexa has become.
“Hey Alexa, set a timer for 15 minutes.”
“Okay Ronnie, your timer is 15 minutes, by the way, would you like to buy a clock?”
“No, I don’t want to buy anything, I just want you to do your job!” he replied.
The Atlantic’s Nicholas Thompson with Amazon’s Dave Limp
Alexa’s boss, Amazon’s Head of Hardware and Devices, Dave Limp explained they’re working on improving Alexa’s hunches.
“We’re at a point where one out of five interactions with Alexa are not instigated by the customer.” This means 20% of the time Alexa is doing something on your behalf, like playing news after you hit snooze to subtly wake you up.
“We’re trying to make this a delightful experience. What’s super important about being proactive is that you have to be right, a lot. As soon as you start getting proactive and incorrect, it gets annoying very quickly.”
TechnoUtopia v Dystopia
Grimes
Alt pop superstar Grimes, girlfriend to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, and mother to the Elven spelling of AI, talked about the role technology is playing in her life.
“I feel like iPhone should turn off an hour before bed. It’s been giving me sleep problems. It’s technology we haven’t factored into our biology.” She added, “But we shouldn’t forget technology makes our lives better. We need more utopianism in sci fi.”
Having recently collaborated with Endel, the algorithmic music startup, on an AI lullaby she observed, “Everyday I thank the overlords of Ableton for cleaning up my tracks but I do worry though that AI will outpace us and make musicians obsolete. It’s inevitable. We have the beautiful advantage of knowing super intelligence is coming. We ought to make those rules now and not wait until its too late. We’re giving birth to AI. We can teach it and point it in the right direction, but where it goes from there as it becomes more powerful as this ghost in our data and ultimately its own being is anyone’s guess. Maybe it will become like Dune, where thinking machines get banned on Earth and we send AI out into the universe to spread the light of consciousness so information is wherever you go, and then Earth becomes this boutiquey thing like organic vegetables where when human music is heard people will be like, oh, this was made by a woman, not a robot.”
As to whether this will turn into a dystopian nightmare of our own making, Grimes concluded, “Every tool has the potential to be dangerous. Where we are headed depends upon what we do with the technology. We’re on the knife’s edge right now but we have solved insane problems like our faces being beamed through space and time so we can be together in the same place right now despite physically being all over the world. That’s some crazy wizardry happening right here. There is a solution, we just shouldn’t make failure an option.”
Exiting The Anthropocene
Sir Ridley Scott
Blade Runner director Ridley Scott delivered his own dire warning with the premiere of his Digital With A Purpose film urging innovators to find way to meet Paris Accord Climate 2030 goals. “The luxury of science fiction is that it’s fantasy. We’re dealing with reality. We’re being way too polite about where we are. We are at the threshold of an abyss of disaster.”
Palmer Lucky, cofounder Oculus and Anduril, making the case for the tech industry to work on … [] autonomous weapons
Which begs the question, if the age of autonomous weapons is upon us, who do you trust more with it, enemy nations or billionaire Oculus founder Palmer Luckey? That’s what Luckey asked in making the case for the tech giants to re-engage with the U.S. Department of Defense on working on national security solutions.
“AI is this very powerful and useful technology but its not very good at making life and death decisions and is totally capable of running autonomous weapon systems. We need to assume it develops as fast as the most optimistic people assume and set rules now,” Luckey said, “We shouldn’t be outsourcing accountability to a machine. You can’t lock up a machine in prison for war crimes.” Anduril AI analyzes data to help humans pull the trigger, with safeguards to prevent abuses, he said. He criticized Google and Apple for not doing more.
“Big Tech companies are not only not working on national security problems, but they’re killing the work of companies that are. This happened with Boston Dynamics. That’s because there are financial and PR incentives to stay out of military work. China has done an incredible job of blocking access to their markets as a tool to get the culture of Western democracies to subvert itself to China. Meanwhile, China is making huge strides in autonomy and AI. China is going to be a superpower, bigger than the United States.”
Why Silicon Valley Will Always Be Home To AI
Elad Gil
Elad Gil, investor in Anduril, AirBnb, Cardiogram, Instacart, Pinterest, Square, Stripe, Unbabel and Wish, gave his perspective on the Work From Anywhere diaspora from Silicon Valley.
“For those of you in the audience thinking about starting a company, I want to tell you the water is fine. San Francisco is still a great place to come to. I encourage you to meet us here. Markets are bigger than they’ve ever been. If you ask yourself where is all the tech market cap aggregating, of the 187 unicorns that have been created in the last 15 months, half were in the U.S. and a quarter in Silicon Valley. I do believe we’re going to continue to have a cluster in the Bay Area because of strong network effects that accelerate companies and people working in those industries. I don’t think that behavior goes away after Covid.”
It’s 2020, Computers Can Now See, Hear And Socialize
Initialized Capital Garry Tan
As to where he’s placing his AI bets for the new year, Initialized Capital’s Garry Tan said, “We remain very long on computer vision. We were the first investors in Cruise Automation which broke open the self-driving car space and now there is a lot of practical automation that was never possible before.”
An investor in Standard Cognition, he talked about its camera-only cashierless retail experience that enables you to walk into a store, pick up whatever you need and walkout, in stark contrast to Amazon Go which relies on shelf sensors.
“Down the road we think practical robotics are just around the corner with sub $1,000 real time SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) computer vision, for use industrially and in the home.” Tan is also invested in Ava.me which applies on the fly machine learning to voice recognition and live captioning on Zoom.
Lightspeed Venture Partners Nicole Quinn
Lightspeed Venture Partners’ Nicole Quinn is also bullish on AI. She sees online social experiences remaining sticky for the foreseeable future. She’s invested in Lunchclub, an AI concierge that serves up Zoom coffees for meaningful professional networking, and Cameo, an AI booking agent for celebrities that will chat or send birthday greetings for a fee.
Celebrity Pivots
Gwyneth Paltrow on turning Goop’s first profit
Quinn then took to the screen with her portfolio client, Gwyneth Paltrow who shared news of Goop turning its first profit.
In March, “When the lockdowns happened and commerce seemed to completely stop, I set our marketing budgets to zero, pulled down our social media spend, and returned to our content roots to get back into the hearts and minds of our readers. Soon after engagement metrics went up and transactions followed, but our events and ads business had gone to zero overnight and our retail business were down from plan. I knew I had to get to profitability as quickly as possible. The hardest part was having to take such a stringent look at the P&L, close stores and let go of people we loved,” Paltrow said.
“We tell our companies, to win you got to be around. You need to have at least 24 months runway at all times,” said Quinn, applauding Paltrow actions.
Then Paltrow, an Academy award winning actress, landed a Netflix series, Goop Lab, which just got renewed for Season 2. “We got a lot of new customers from the show. I feel like a lot of brands are very reliant on Facebook, but when you live in the intersection of content and commerce, founders need to think of ways to organically reach customers. I’ll never buy another customer off Facebook again.”
Paltrow added, “I’m not that bullish on 2021. I think we’re still in for a lot of instability. We’re looking at creative ways to monetize content and find sustainable growth from within our own channels as opposed to spending money to prospect. We’re looking at doing something in food which is a strong pillar for us and not intensive from a capital expenditure standpoint.”
Serena Williams
Tennis legend Serena Williams is a prominent AI investor. Her portfolio includes Tonal, Noom, Zipline, Masterclass, Gobble, Billie and Daily Harvest, which she backed along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Quinn and Paris Hilton. Before the pandemic, she was an extensive traveler and launched an Away x Serena Williams luggage line. She went on screen with Away cofounder Jen Rubio to discuss their collaboration and the challenges the brand has been facing this year.
“Being at the intersection of travel and retail was pretty much the worst place to be. We stopped everything and took a hard look at should we be marketing at all.
