#its essential that you get the full picture from ground

[onboardsorasora]

Danni!!! Okay of course first I am here to give you these 💐💐💐 because you deserve them for every single fic you write and especially for Reclamation!!! 🫶🏼 I was wondering if you could give a little peek into what happens after the ending! Not a full blown 10k work or anything but just some thoughts like…what is the wedding like? Where do they live after? Do they eventually have kids? Do sewis have kids? Anything else you wanna add! 🫶🏼

Oh Isabel thank you for thisssss!!!!🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 I had so much fun thinking of these! I could go on forever lmao. Here are some post Reclamation headcanons, I'll put them after the cut😅😅 I still can't believe its over🥹🥹🥹🥹

They get married at the Verstappen estate. Daniel wanted to elope so they didn't have to plan anything but Sophie insisted and called up Grace and they pulled rank. They have a garden party in the sprawling grounds. It's very classy. Isabella, Isaac, Luka and Lio are stinkin’ cute. 

Max and Daniel go off to fuck twice. The first time was handys after their first look (Charles reminded them that they’d have blowjob lips in all their pictures otherwise. Max thought that was a good idea, Jules vetoed). The second time they go to fuck is during the reception after the first dance because Daniel whispered in Max’s ear that he was wearing a special (and pretty) plug.

Daniel changes outfits three times because of course he would. His final late night reception party shirt was actually a tasteful pattern this time but if you looked closely (and only 3 people did) you’d see that the outline design was actually cocks with a ring on them 😊.

Carlos is there as a friend and Charles' date. They finally got together. Pierre is there with a new girlfriend. A different girl from the yacht party who was also a different girl from the engagement party. She's only in one group picture because no one trusts that she'll last longer than a few more weeks.

They live in the penthouse for a bit then they buy a house in the hills with a view of the city and the ocean. Daniel categorically will not move back into the estate and Max has no problems there. They get one more cat– a compromise because Max wanted a dog (since they now have a yard) and Daniel said no and sucked his dick so he'd stop bringing it up. This happens twice before Max actually does stop bringing it up because he doesn’t want to get pavloved into getting hard when thinking about dogs 🫣

They do have a daughter eventually, but like after a good while of just being married and having each other again. They have a lot of time to make up for!

Sewis absolutely has kids. They have three little gremlins! Twin girls and a sweet little boy. The middle daughter is soooo bossy like both her dads. She bosses Blake around and has him wrapped around her finger. She was the only one who didn’t cry when he first met her– she actually went to sleep, and that was during the colic phase so Sewis begged him to come over often since he seemed to be the only one to get her to rest. 

When Jules gets married, Daniel goes all out with the planning. Jules is exasperated as fuck but he lets Daniel have this because he knows his bestie is trying to ‘repay him’. Which they’ve spoken argued about but Daniel needs Jules to know how much he loves and appreciates him forever and ever til the end of time. They ended each wedding planning email with ‘fuck off’ and Jules’ said ‘fuck of please/respectfully/categorically/emphatically’. Daniel cackles each time.

Max and Daniel do not go off to fuck at Jules’ wedding. Not because of respect or anything so silly. But Daniel essentially made himself the wedding planner's assistant so he literally couldn’t step away. Charles laughed at Max’s grumblings. The wedding was gorgeous.

They still go to the cabin as often as possible. Daniel bought more land around it and they built another, bigger cabin so that the entire group plus spouses and all the kiddies can be comfortable. None of Pierre’s girlfriends have been to the cabin.

#aaahhh I love this story so so so much #Reclamation #2wrecked2furious #headcanons #ask #rizzstappen

Been meaning to pick your professional brain a bit, so... Tell us about rewriting/drafting/editorial pass! What happens when you read to edit? How is it different when you read someone else's work vs your own? What do you look for, what do you notice differently from when you're in writing mode? Any advice to get better at the whole editing thing, and what typical advice that we often see (kill your darlings, never do x, always do x, write for yourself, know your audience...) do you think could use some nuance or explanation? And maybe most importantly, what advice would you give a starting beta reader? What makes for a good beta reader and/or editor, especially when there's no monetary transaction involved and it's all donated labor? What are some of the essential skills?

Hello my friend!! Thank you so, so much for asking me about editing!! I am over the moon. I love this part.

I'm lucky because while it's been my job for quite a long while now (often among other responsibilities) work hasn't ground out the joy of it. I prefer to edit fiction, of course, over corporate copy and advertising, but am honestly happy to dig into either kind of project. The point of it is to bring the right words to the forefront of whatever the written material is, I think. To make the piece the best it can be, and at the same time show the writers how capable they really are. (: So let me dive right in! (THIS IS LONG, by the way, so under the cut! The irony is not lost on me about wordiness and editing and then producing this LOL but it's alright. I'm a chatty person online and this is more or less conversational.)

What is an editorial pass?

There's several kinds of editing. What I do most for paid corporate work is proofreading -- which is catching typos and grammar mistakes and correcting them. This is usually a first pass of any given project. This pass doesn't usually suggest changes -- things are left as is except typos and grammar mistakes. This is sometimes also called copyediting, though copyediting is the next step up and also checks for style consistency, among a few other things, especially in academic and corporate work.

Next is line editing -- this is more checking for word choice at the sentence level. We're looking to make sure things flow together nicely, and that we're cutting the fluff out when necessary. When things get too wordy and there are cleaner ways to phrase something, a line edit pass will catch these things.

Next past that is content editing -- this is done on a full manuscript or story to check that the ideas are complete and the story flows together logically. This should be paragraph and chapter level and should also check for consistency in tone and authorial voice.

After that is my personal favorite, which is structural editing. This is actually technically what you should start with if your manuscript is already complete. But we'll get into the difference between having work beta read and having work edited below. Anyway structural editing is going to check for, well, structure -- organization, flow and quality of the book in its entirety.

There will be notes regarding concerns and big picture issues with the story. These usually won't include detail-level edits, though some professional editors do offer multiple passes on the same manuscript. If your structural edit is mostly glowing praise with few key concerns or suggestions, you can move onto more detail oriented edits to address those specific concerns.

And an even higher level editing that can happen even before a manuscript is complete is Developmental Editing. I like to think of this as an outline critique or consultation more so, as this pass won't be rewriting or doing any sort of detail work. The editor takes your idea and helps ask the right questions to make sure you're organizing your ideas to the best of your ability. They help an author to see the book as a reader would see it.

What happens when you read to edit?

Reading for enjoyment is actually as important to editing as it is for writing. The key takeaway is that an for either, you need to have a extremely solid grasp on the components that make a good story. For an editor, especially so when the 'rules' might be broken purposefully by an author. Honestly, a lot of it is still opinion based. Two different editors, generally, will have different insights for you reading the same manuscript, biased by how much they read and what their specialties are. Most editors, too, will have an ear for grammar which nobody wants to talk about but it's true. You don't need to memorize every single tiny little grammatical detail to explain in full to your authors when you edit and catch errors. But an editor usually can hear when things are off more or less and can provide resources if a mistake is noticed as a consistent issue.

Mostly when you're reading to edit and I'll use structural editing for an example here, you're always thinking of how things flow together and how the story threads intertwine and connect. You're thinking through how the story will land for a casual reader. There's a lot of work in the background in this case, and it takes practice to be able to point out when elements fall flat. You as an editor should also be able to suggest ways to fix the flat parts of the story -- and to do that you need to have read widely in many genres. Read for the sake of understanding how stories come together. Read while taking extensive mental notes as you go. Each book is a learning opportunity.

How is it different when you read someone else's work vs your own?

I actually just reblogged a post about this that sums it up pretty nicely. When you're writing you're so close to your own work it can be hard not only to spot errors but to let go of work you've written. It can also be difficult to see where your work shines because it's not how you envisioned it in your head. Writing is an entirely different process, even if you can go back in with good editing eyes, again it comes down to perspective. You're too close to your own work. You've spent so much more time with it. You know every detail (presumably) and might not be able to see beyond that. The editor, on the other hand, and also a beta reader, will be able to shift perspectives a bit based on their own biases and specialties and help spot things that weren't obvious in the thick of the project.

For me I know I am not as strong a writer as I am an editor for this exact reason. (Regardless of what others think of my writing, this is still true lol) I get a sort of tunnel vision on what I'm attempting to get on paper. A second set of eyes helps point out what needs more attention. An editor should be a project's biggest cheerleader because our goal is to bring out the best an author can do. We can see the threads of greatness as we go through a piece. When we suggest things, it's always to make the piece stronger and for the story beats to hit harder. So this piece really comes down to perspective. When I read my own work, I still am very much mired in it. When I read someone else's work, I get to experience it without it having lived in my head for x amount of time. It's a fresh view of the text, and that can often be invaluable.

What do you look for, what do you notice differently from when you're in writing mode?

This kind of plays off the last few questions, more or less but here I'll switch to self-editing. It really is a mindset change and it's incredibly difficult on one's own writing. Usually I need to take a day or two to let the chapter (for instance) I'm working on simmer and move on to the next thing to get my mind out of the weeds about it more or less. Then I go back in with the goal to proofread and do line level editing.

Because I am the author, I'm always trying to keep in mind overarching structures and plots. (I'm a planner rather than a pantser/discovery writer normally though there are exceptions when I add to the plan later.) This does make "editing mode" a little bit easier for me, besides being a professional editor. I'm actively trying to keep the threads together in editing mode, and actively looking for accidental repetition, places where fluff can be cut out, areas where the words sound off/discordant and can be improved, and personally I am always trying to be sure each line of dialogue or inner monologue SOUNDS like the point of view character I'm working with. This comes from asking the right questions of your work -- "Why would x character respond this way?" But that's a whole other topic. Someone could ask me about how I handle character building another time if they'd like (: But it's all part of the editing process.

In writing mode the goal, at least for me, is to get the idea out of my head and into a draft / on paper. I have the bones of the story in my outline and now I need to get the words out. First drafts are incredibly important and are not -- I repeat -- are NOT garbage. These are the rough foundations and the effort is not wasted. You can't refine anything if there's nothing on the page. The first draft is gold. It is the authentic creative writing experience. The rest is editing. (: And the revision process, the editing, helps bring forward the gem of an idea you had to begin with.

Any advice to get better at the whole editing thing?

The two biggest pieces of advice I have for this is to read widely and to come to your work with fresh eyes before you attempt to edit.

Reading widely means to read outside of your preferred genre as often as you can. This can also mean reading craft books -- ie things that talk about the writing process or even the editing process -- and it can mean consuming other kinds of media with a focus on storytelling like video games, ttrpgs or movies etc. It also means paying attention while reading, always keeping an eye on your own answer to the question: "Why does this work so well?" or conversely "why do I hate this?" (: Reading critically is a habit that not a lot of us innately have. You do have to put in the work just like with writing to read closely in a way that benefits you as a writer and an editor.

Now for the next part -- walking away from your draft entails two things. One, that you've written all you could before you turned on editing mode and two you've given yourself a day or two to do something else (or continue writing) before you return to what you want to edit. It's so much harder to catch what you're missing when you immediately turn back and edit what you've just written. (With exception.) You can catch more typos, and fix the fluff or underwriting when you've given your mind a second to rest.

Improvement comes with practice, too. So purposefully trying to edit, and purposefully trying to read critically and building a habit out of these things will lead to a better understanding of the craft in general. All of it translates to writing strong first drafts and being able to revise more effectively. It's cumulative. Nobody is born a perfect writer or a perfect editor.

One last tip that might be a little impractical depending on your circumstances is -- if you want to get better at editing quickly, read your work out loud. It's easier to find clunky areas as you verbalize them.

What typical advice that we often see (kill your darlings, never do x, always do x, write for yourself, know your audience...) do you think could use some nuance or explanation?

I could write about each of these but this post is already long! So I'll pick my favorite. "Write what you know" doesn't mean "Stay in your lane and write about your retail job" for example. To me, it's more like even in a fantasy world, you can bring in things you've experienced and give them to your characters.

Not a single one of us is as boring as we think we are (: I learned this when I was going through the Creative Nonfiction track in my undergrad creative writing degree program. Even something so average told from your perspective can be fascinating to someone else. So apply it to your story -- all your experiences, your emotions, whatever you can throw at the canvas so to speak.

Your character isn't a reflection of you if you don't want them to be. But they can still go through a fantasy version of troubles that evoke the same kind of big emotions that you've been through. It can be kind of cathartic -- at least in my experience, it can be.

What advice would you give a starting beta reader? What makes for a good beta reader and/or editor, especially when there's no monetary transaction involved and it's all donated labor? What are some of the essential skills?

So first, the difference between a beta reader and editor does come down to the donation of time. You're going to get different responses based on the skill of your beta reader and how much attention and time they have to donate. The ideal beta reader will be someone who is in your intended audience and is generally a close reader, even if they're not there looking for grammar mistakes or anything like that. They'll have a working idea of their own personal answers to what they feel works well and what doesn't when they read in general.

Generally a beta reader will be a set of eyes that will catch your grammar mistakes and typos but probably won't be providing line level suggestions. They'll function as a light structural editor or work more or less on a chapter level. Some beta readers (like myself because I am also a editor) might donate more time and effort to the project than others and be able to make professional suggestions, but this is not to be expected or requested.

If you're just starting out as a beta reader, it might be good to practice on maybe a published novella or short story first, low stakes because the author can't see your comments. Begin the process of reading widely and asking yourself "Why (or why not) does this work for me as a reader?" "What makes this enjoyable (or not?)" "What is it about this piece that is done well (or not?)" The grammar practice can come later -- refresh on the rules, but again don't worry about being perfect. The biggest skill you can build is reading critically. Practice, practice, practice. And when you offer your skills as a beta reader, let your author know if it's your first piece. Sometimes a very fresh set of eyes are just the thing a project needs, so don't be shy about saying so.

On the skills needed -- beta readers should not be shy to say exactly what they're thinking in a kind, constructive way. This can take some practice. But if you're going to point out something that's not working, it's good to have an idea as to why and be able to convey that. It doesn't have to be to the level of a suggestion and certainly not to the level of a rewrite or being able to provide comps/resources.

Being able to provide comments of your thoughts in a structured and logical way based on your opinion of what you've read comes with practice, of course. It's essential because an author is generally looking for specific feedback when they're asking you to beta read their work to make sure their story is hitting as intended for their intended audience.

Again having a good ear for grammar is going to be important here, too. You don't have to be perfect about it, either, or memorize every tiny technical detail. But being able to hear when something is off is useful again because while writing, an author is very close to their work and might not catch it.

And last -- remind yourself you are human. You aren't going to be able to catch every error. You aren't going to be perfect. (listen, not even every editor is going to catch every single mistake. Again, we're human!) You are not a machine. The act of being a close reader for an author and donating your time to assist them is selfless. Nobody should be expecting perfection. This is a collaborative effort between audience and author in this case. You get to make suggestions and perhaps change an author's mind about the direction of some things in their stories. Authors can choose not to take advice, too, without needing to explain anything at all. It doesn't mean the effort is wasted. It comes down to having a second set of eyes on the project with the intent to bring out the best.

Beta reader or editor, your job is mostly to be the work's cheerleader and see past the rough edges to the gem underneath, and then show the author how truly talented they are when they've forgotten in the thick of it. These are simply two different levels of the same kinds of tasks (:

[neverkayzat]

This is the post where I go insane over every single detail I shoved into the Art of Scraping Through fanart I did recently! I spent around twenty hours on it so now you have to suffer my info dumping :')

Before I start ranting, I have to give props to Squaffle! They made me realize that I can make fanart of fanfiction by making fanart of fanfiction. Wow. I am really smart. Also, I used their designs as inspirations for what I used in this picture. Their art is phenomenal! Check it out! :)

First: The background!

There's something outside of each window! Each window is copy and pasted, but there is an outside. Even if you can't see it. Also, to the right is the Steelers flag (Pennsylvania football team) and a newspaper of the bar opening. You can barely see this in the final version.

Right above Frank's head is the map of West Grove (where they are)! Also, the second image is just a bunch of assorted photo's. I was trying to capture a really run down bar that has black and white pictures of the owners and old pictures of when their bar was a hit. Didn't reallllllyyy manage it, but hey, the pictures look nice :)

Second: The people

This is what the back, back ground people look like without any blur. Also, don't mind Frank. He was the last thing I drew.

These three are OC's of me and my friends, but humanized. Starting from the left is Eclipse, then Vas (who is conveying that Linen, another OC, is saying hi), and finally Arsonist, who is complaining about the humanization. I love sneaking goofballs into pictures they're not meant to be in.

On the left is my persona. It's me guys!! In the final, the only unblurred thing you can see is the fingers. On the right is Canvas, another OC, however you can just see her hair.

This guy in the background is also another OC (my word I'm fitting everyone in here). Not much to say, just that I was up at one in the morning drawing this goober. This is when I hit the ten hour mark.

This is a picture with only the middle people. I remembered that I didn't need to draw full people here. Also that they didn't need to be super detailed.

Fun fact! The guy on the left is someone you cannot see on the final because of cropping. I realized that this picture was not center, and centered it. These two are inspired by my brother (left) and father (right).

This guy is another OC, Bithal. I hate her.

Third: Overall Details

Every beer bottle has AST on the logo. For Frank, it's hard to see because his fingers are covering it up, but it's there!!

There are more drinks on Marc's side to show his drunken state. Also, his beer bottle is empty while Frank is still working on his, as seen in the final picture.

Marc's entire outfit. Oh my god.

The scratch thing on both of their skin! This is also seen basically everywhere but shhhh.

One final detail (probably will be multiple if I know myself well) to conclude this is that color theory is super cool. Marc is all warm colors. His outline is a mixture of yellows and oranges. These colors are associated greater with topics such as happiness and positivity. However, his outfit, demeanor, and outline is a contrast to Frank's deep blues. His outfit is mostly comprised of cool colors, those which normally resemble sadness, isolation, etc. Essentially, what I'm trying to get at with these colors are that Marc is more open in this scene (alcohol be like) while Frank is still the man we know.

Also, his laughter and bubbles are teal because in the comics, teal is one of the main colors that represent Moon Knight. Look at the Mackay run with its major use of teal. It's beautiful.

AANNNDD there are dots everywhere. I love the dots. There's so many of them. I constantly found myself asking "can I use dots here?" and the answer was yes. Yes, you can always use dots here. At the beginning, it was so the picture could resemble an old comic style, but I kind of gave up six hours in and went crazy without any motive.

I hope you enjoyed my very, very long rant on what this picture is all about!! I really enjoyed drawing this! See the final post here!

#not art #idk how to tag this #lmao #I guess I'm not really going to tag it because eh

[smugglerofsass]

i saw your tags and i am dying to know the four GO related costumes, if it isn’t too much trouble to ask? ♥️

Ok ok ok here's the thing, this might be more than you bargained for because it's not four costumes, it's four years worth of costumes and inspired looks I have too many of those lets not talk about that.

Break so I can insert some pictures where I have them.

You see, I started cosplaying Crowley in 2019, like half of the rest of this fandom. I saw the show, I made my best friend watch it, she asked if Aziraphale and Crowley could be our Halloween costume for the year, I agreed exclusively on the grounds I could be Crowley, and the rest is essentially history.....except it's not because if my life isn't one cosmic joke what's the point right. My hair was purple at the time and I insisted I wasn't going to dye it for this, despite everyone I knew asking about it. So we did Halloween, at speed, mind you, so it was more about does it look like them rather than does it look like them, but doing these costumes gave me brain rot bad.

This is genuinely one of the best photos I'm going to be able to share with you rn, because someone took these photos of me intentionally. My best friend/Aziraphale had prior plans and this kinda got dropped on me like what costume can you wear to go to the cemetery approximately now.

In December, I started dying my hair red, we're all laughing because it's funny.

Obviously this was right before the plague times and I was still in undergrad at the time. We had a socially distanced halloween party the next year between the costume and scene shops, and I wore basically the same thing, just with doc martens and sfx contacts that time because I was working on a much larger costume for my undergrad capstone (tho not my history capstone, that was tragically different.) I started working on a late Victorian women's ensemble in black and green that was intended to be versatile enough to be both historically accurate in settings that needed it, while also being able to be an all out cosplay, just an inspired one. I didn't actually get good picture of it until late last year when I had shifted into what I call "stupidly" red hair dye and cut my hair (I was in grad school when s2 filming pictures started to come out, it does something to your brain, you make interesting choices during Thanksgiving break.)

(Enjoy a rare film photo of @christinedieae and I, we were working on these outfits together, and mostly in the same work space in 2021, so it was a mission to photograph these two together because they were so different on the dress forms.)

In 2021, I attended Ren Fair for the first time and made pirate inspired looks for my best friend and I. Tragically I don't have any photos from this year other than us at like 8am in my driveway and I'm not willing to share them rn but I made this full length sleeveless coat with fabric i found at joanns that year that has snakes and roses. I also wore it last year but it was very cold and windy that day so the only photo of me is my "Anakin storming the temple" look, peak my red wig and the best garment I've ever made, my cloak.

Then, some of my favorite ren fair looks from last year. The halo is one of the single best purchases I've made while costuming, and at this point its been a while.

The only down side to ren fair is that I'm often without an Aziraphale, as my best friend has become a bird (this is a genuine logistical challenge and at times takes between three and four of us to manage at the fair grounds so my full length snake skirt might not be returning to the fair this year.) Said bird also steals my glasses.

Here's another look with selections pulled from my historical wardrobe for a wizarding event at the museum I work at last year. This was the first time anyone I worked with saw my contacts and I have found it's good to warn people who know me because they find it a serious jumpscare. Some adults also have opinions, but kids really seem to like them.

And then some silly things from an event we attended in May last year. It was Friday the 13th and easily 100 degrees. I made Aziraphale's waistcoat in a week because I wasn't insane enough already (when you get motivation to do something you take it idk). On an even bigger my life is a cosmic joke note, when the first s2 pictures came out with the leather waistcoat I got in my closet and finally begrudgingly admitted my mom was right, because I had a leather waistcoat she had given me from the 80s.

I feel like I might have posted some of these photos here before, I remember asking for an "angel ( )" caption for my friend dressed as Castiel, and the groupchat soundly rejecting "angel (homosexual)" as too non-specific. It was very hot, we descended into insanity by the end of the night, a group of girls recognized us while we were trapped in the middle of this tiny candy store, chaos at its finest. This is also the night where someone referred to our group as the "most attractive group of queer people" they'd ever seen, and thus named our group chat.

I know there have been sooooo many more, some combination of all of this is how I dress on the daily so I'm kinda always testing new or inspired looks. And our ren fair opens this weekend, and I've been working on making and acquiring some fun new things for some new looks this year, so I'll have more looks very soon.

The last thing I can leave you with, I suppose, is this. I'm going to a wedding in October with costumes encouraged, but all black is off the table. SO I'm recreating an Edwardian gown in a red silk I found that is cross woven with black threads so it has this shift to it while still looking red, the silk is called Omen.

My darling Aziraphale is @jesterjamboree as always. @frameratess also appears here, and is often the only one of us remembering to take pictures. And already mentioned is @christinedieae, we egg each other on with our crazy ideas.

#haha have i ever mentioned that im crazy #im a firm believer in looking exactly how you want to all the time #even when other people think youre crazy #the smuggler sews #the smuggler cosplays

Chapter 5: Moving Time

Narrated by Qingyue.

Narrator: After the ceremony ended, I arrived at the Moon Palace with Baishuo.

Narrator: The Moon Palace is not far away from Cloudcrest.

Narrator: Baishuo is playful. He often goes there for things and brings me new books and snacks.

Narrator: One day, he comes back with a poster saying that Cloudcrest is going to have a lantern show at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Narrator: The lanterns today are nothing more than a memorial for those no longer here.

Baishuo: The lantern show must be wonderful! If you're available, will you go with me?

Narrator: He doesn't seem like a person who would propose such an idea... But it must be amazing to watch lanterns above the sky.

Qingyue: Alright, let's watch it together.

Narrator: The lanterns are as beautiful as I have imagined. The yellow lights give a gentle color to the starry sky.

Narrator: The moonlight shines on Cloudcrest, outlining the street together with the lanterns.

Narrator: On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cloudcrest is full of wistfulness.

Narrator: The longing floats into the night sky with the lanterns. How touching.

Voice: I hope my child takes care of himself, wears warm clothes, and comes home by the next Mid-Autumn Festival.

Voice: It must be hard to do business outside. I hope Father can come home for the festival!

Voice: Grandpa is not feeling very well recently. I hope he will get well soon.

Narrator: A hundred years pass, and Cloudcrest is a lot different now.

Choose either "Change is inevitable" or "Change is sad."

If "inevitable," ...

You: Change is inevitable.

If "sad," ...

You: Change is sad.

--

Narrator: The moon seen in the mortal world is different every day.

Narrator: The moon wanes and waxes again and again from a dim new moon to a bright full moon.

Narrator: However, what we have seen are the phases of the moon. The moon itself has never changed.

Narrator: Things in the world are like the phases of the moon. No matter how different they look, they remain essentially unchanged.

Narrator: At least, the wistfulness I have conveyed over the past years is consistent.

Narrator: Time and people change, but the same moon shines on the world.

Narrator: The moonlight will guard this city forever.

Narrator: A petal falls into the tea, making small ripples.

Narrator: The crimson and indigo threads are woven on purple silk. Before long, a picture of ancient Cloud appears on the sachet.

Narrator: Baishuo hops over and looks at the ornament in my hand.

Baishuo: Your embroidery is the best. I can't find an embroidery more detailed than yours in Cloud.

Baishuo: Next time I go to Cloudcrest, I will wear it. If someone asks, I will say it's a family heirloom.

Narrator: His eyes sparkle as he speaks.

Qingyue: You can bring me the latest picture of Cloud next time and I will embroider a fashionable one for you.

Baishuo: Great! I will get it tomorrow.

Narrator: Baishuo hums happily with a fulfilled smile and continues his reading.

Narrator: The mist on the Ocean of Memories gathers again, and the Moon Palace is quiet.

A Man of No Importance is Really Important to Me

John Doyle really said “Let me show you how it’s done” 

In an age of musicals where Big Belting and screaming high notes are all the rage, I am so completely thrilled that the smaller and more modest A Man of No Importance gets a chance to shine - and shine it does over in Union Square at Classic Stage Company.

The shows tells the tale of Alfie Byrne (played by Jim Parsons but more on him later) who is a part time bus driver and full time leader of a small amateur theatre troupe in Dublin. Alfie is determined to stage Oscar Wilde’s Salome, despite objections from the church all the while straining against the homophobic society that has held him down for so long. The show is very charming on its surface but packs a real punch as well.

The show really made me remember just how good of a writer Terrence McNally was. The book is absolutely phenomenal. There are so many characters in this show and yet each feels fully realized. Alfie himself is such a wonderful character and his desperation to stage this play and how deeply in love he’s in with his best friend is so gorgeously written. Everything is so subtle and so perfectly heart breaking at just the right moments and really made me remember how good a musical can be. 

Of course the music is excellent, but I was also really blown away by the orchestrations. I know people are hit or miss about John Doyle’s having the actors also play instruments, but it worked so perfectly here. Bruce Coughlin’s orchestrations were so beautiful and brought out so many layers to the already beautiful score. 

Truly, this is a show about art and love and deep love for art and deep love for theatre and being gay and what you cling to when the world you live in won’t let you be who you are or love who you love. 

John Doyle’s direction perfectly highlights all of these themes and his style is so perfectly suited for this show. Stripping the show down to its bare essentials highlighted the raw emotion of the show and the feeling of Alfie being trapped but desperately trying to find his way out. Doyle also staged a lot of scenes in a way that I can only describe as like a near and far effect? It was really lovely and really captured Alfie’s loneliness and how often he is seen as an outsider. 

There was also such a deep theatricality to it that I found so beautiful. Doyle made the show feel like the poems Alfie loves. He created such beautiful stage pictures that will stick with me for a long time. 

Between this, last year’s Assassins and of course The Color Purple, I’m reminded that John Doyle is one of our most iconic directors for a reason. He’s able to get to the heart of the show and put it on full display. He pulls phenomenal performances from his actors and knows how to tell a damn good story.

The set, also designed by Doyle, was also very lovely. It set the whole show in the church basement where St. Imelda’s Players rehearses their plays and it fit Classic Stage Company’s space so perfectly. The back wall was covered in antique mirrors, which was a really lovely touch considering Alfie’s big song in Act One. 

Which of course brings us to the performances, which were all wonderful. Everyone was excellent, with Jim Parsons, Mare Winingham, AJ Shively and Mary Beth Peil being the highlights.

Peil is always a delight, and it was wonderful seeing her play an actress who takes her performance way too seriously. Shively was surprisingly very wonderful, though really I shouldn’t be too surprised as I thought he was great in last season’s Paradise Square as well. His Robbie grounded Parson’s Alfie very well and his “Streets of Dublin” was a highlight. 

Mare Winningham is Mare Winningham, which means of course she was excellent. Alfie and his sister Lilly are the emotional core of the show, and she was absolutely wonderful. 

Jim Parsons was also absolutely wonderful, which is no easy feat considering he is on stage for just about the entirety of the show. It is very clear how important this character is to Parsons, and he fills him with so much heart and so much want. He isn’t the best singer, but it somehow works in the show. Alfie isn’t a great artist, so Parsons doesn’t have to be a great singer. Likewise, where he lacks in singing (and occasionally the Irish accent), he makes up in heart and excellent acting. It was an absolute joy to see him on stage. 

All in all this show is so wonderful! If you’re able, definitely head down to Union Square to see this beautiful gem of a show.

@kemikorosu whispered: ❝ my place is here. ❞ | The Walking Dead sentence starters / ACCEPTING

               HE WAS SURE THAT WAS WHAT HE'D HEARD HER SAY. The War Doctor rested his hands behind his back, overhearing the conversation between Lumine- and her brother, Aether. You see, they'd returned to Teyvat as The Daleks mounted a full-scale attack on the planet and attempted to rewrite its history. They used an object called 'The Moment', using Teyvat as a testing ground for a destructive weapon that could potentially end The Time War- however, Lumine's friend had been able to undo the damage, returning Teyvat to its primary state in history- as well as resurrect The Dead.

               However, Lumine's friend had watched The Celestial go through a lot, during this ordeal. If not for The Moment- a lot of her friends would be... well... gone, for good. Including her Brother. It was thanks to The War Doctor that she'd been able to get them back, but it'd also been thanks to them that they'd gotten into this mess in the first place. In The Tardis- he could hear the clicking of The Moment, and he chewed on the end of his thumb. In the back of his mind, he heard a whisper, "The Moment is Coming." He looked back toward The Tardis, and the wind howled... for a long moment. He looked back to Lumine, as she talked to her floating fairy- and her brother.

               THE MOMENT IS COMING. He echoed in his head and looked down at the ground for a moment, hands behind his back and hollow eyes staring out above the clouds, toward the stars that hung in the sky. For a moment, he looked out at the vastness of Teyvat- and its restored beauty. He saw, near the bottom of the hill where The Tardis sat- the cities and people's recovering from the attack. Even though time had essentially been reset, they were still helping each other after the devastating attack. When he looked up at the stars, he watched silently for a moment- but his eyes widened when he saw a star go out.

               He'd seen planets die time and time again, but this time- it felt... strange. It felt... Sadder, more impactful- because of the silence of it all. Somewhere, far away- No one had been able to help stop an attack like Lumine and Her Friend stopped this attack. He watched for a moment, looking down at the foot of the hill where Lumine spoke to her brother and he sucked in a long breath. He opened his eyes, staring at the distance and feeling his mind go to a dark place. He had heard the whispers, heard the intercepted transmissions. The Daleks had been testing The Moment out...

               Because The Timelords had completed THE ARK. THE PLANET-EATER. He'd never told Lumine about it because he knew not only would it horrify her beyond belief- but because he'd hoped, deep inside his hearts, that The Timelords would never stoop that low. He inhaled and exhaled again. The world went silent, and he gripped his hands behind his back. He started painting Lumine's features in his mind's eye- tracing them, understanding them, memorizing them... before he closed his eyes to make sure the picture was in his mind.... and then before she'd even finished her goodbyes with her brother...

               CLICK. The Tardis doors locked, and at the CONSOLE UNIT- Lumine's friend hit a button that caused the doors to echo out and briefly flash yellow. He looked toward the monitor, with eyes as hollow and as empty could be. This hurt. He saw her running up the hill and moved to activate the monitor. "Lumine..." He spoke, his voice coming out of the Tardis doors through a speaker unit. "...I've double-locked the doors. They can't be opened from the outside, not by any keys or sonic devices. Deadlock sealed." He spoke, looking out through a visual unit, before letting out the heaviest of sighs.

               "Move away from the doors, Lumine..." He asked, "Move away so I can see you." Even after all the time he'd spent memorizing her features- he still wanted to look at her one last time.

Moss creature here to say, let's focus on some positives. What are your fav things of bioshock 1 & 2? :)

just a few things off the top of my head cause if i sit down and think about it i will be writing a full on analysis lol

the worldbuilding in general is the main reason i like the first 2 games, i got obsessed with them super young before i was analysing games as games so just the setting and art direction and all these weird scary but believable concepts were something i loved a lot, i remember seeing the trailer for the first game on tv before we had the internet at my house so i had no way to look it up to watch it again so the memory of it was just mutating in my head as this scary underwater thing with a robot i was obsessed with wanting to see for ages, then when i saw the bio2 tv trailer i freaked the fuck out and spent like 3 days rewatching it on the internet channel on the wii bc i didnt have my own laptop lmao

how creative they got with making the science behind everything grounded, like the ghosts being hallucinations of memories stored in adam and the way plasmids arent just unexplainable superpowers

i love morbid scifi and transhumanism and body horror so the big daddies n little sisters were always one of my fav things just from anything, especially appreciate the big daddy process never being explicitly shown and we just get passive details like people being grafted into the suit/the voice modifier jack uses being this scary blender claw and all the stuff in point prometheus scattered about so ur imagination fills in the blanks

eleanor n delta as characters bc i love chars forced into rly tragic bittersweet situations… them especially in good playthroughs bc they both clearly love each other despite them initially being brought together through such horrible circumstances... charles and mark too

also tenenbaum my love my muse my everything i love that they let her be weird and gross and creepy and mean, eleanor too actually i was a weird annoying little girl eating crayons playing it and i was like wow she is literally me................

honestly… i kno people criticise the way they slotted lamb into things in bio2 but i think there was no better way to add anything as big as sofia. its the kindest and most respectful to the lore bio1 lays out as it could be and even tho it cut off a lot directions they could have gone with bio2 i love that they did as much with the concept of ryan trying to erase someone from raptures history as they could and played off that idea to give other characters interesting stories

the level design usually being a nice halfway point between a realistic layout for the locations that you can picture being lived/worked/walked around in as normal and a decent layout for gameplay in general

some of my fav ui design aesthetically, appreciate a game taking the effort to keep ui consistent with theme and art direction and i love the little instructional videos lol, same with some fallout stuff i love really obviously dangerous stuff being presented as a product with little mascots and logos and i love robb waters' artstyle for them and the achievements

theres a lot of instances of it through both games but stuff where mechanics and unavoidable gameplay necessities are woven into the plot, biggest example being the fact that bio1 essentially built its plot around the trope (? probably a better word for it but i cant think of it rn) of having a guide tell you to do things and you have to do them or you cant progress and that turning out to be a manchurian candidate deal where you were doing it because you were conditioned to follow orders, and that in itself being a huge plot point and it being written so tightly into the lore where it doesnt feel out of place because of the whole theme of genetic experimentation

theres obvs way more i could say but i dont wanna clog things with like 18 pages of stuff lol, ty for this ask though i do love writing about games i luv 💚

But here's the kicker: without a solid performance management plan in place, all that potential could go down the drain faster than you can say "missed opportunities." Fear not, though! We've got your back with some killer strategies to ensure your performance management plan is firing on all cylinders.

Setting Clear Expectations: Picture this: you're on a road trip with no map, no GPS, and no destination in mind. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, right?

That way, everyone's on the same page and ready to hit the ground running. Remember, clarity breeds success!

Regular Check-ins: Ever played a game of Jenga? You know, that nerve-wracking game where you carefully remove wooden blocks without toppling the tower? Well, managing performance is a bit like that. It requires constant monitoring and adjustment to ensure everything stays on track. Schedule regular check-ins with your team to discuss progress, provide feedback, and address any issues that may arise. It's all about keeping that performance tower standing tall!

Training and Development: Hey, we all want to be the best versions of ourselves, right? That's where training and development come into play.

Stay open to feedback, be willing to tweak your plan as needed, and embrace new ideas and approaches. Remember, rigidity is the enemy of progress!

Integrating Caregiver Services into Your Performance Management Plan:

Now, let's talk about a game-changer: caregiver services. Whether you're in the healthcare industry or not, chances are some of your team members are juggling caregiving responsibilities alongside their work duties.

Unlocking Efficiency: 8 Benefits of Outsourcing ReactJS Development to India

ReacJS is a widely recognized and used tool from the JavaScript development arsenal. It powers over a million websites globally, with usage growing by 0.5% each year. Launched in 2013 by Facebook, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that ReactJS rose to popularity within the tech community in a heartbeat. After all, it's the technology behind tech behemoths like PayPal, DropBox, Netflix, the New York Times, Facebook, and Airbnb.

While the upsides of going for this web development library are manifold, what remains a question for many is whether to outsource a ReactJS Development Company or build a team from the ground up.

In this blog, we want to settle this once and for all by exploring the merits of opting for  ReactJS Outsourcing Company in India.

But before that, let's do a refresher on what makes ReactJS a compelling choice for web development projects.

Advantage of ReactJS

Aside from the fact that ReactJS continues to be favored by top companies worldwide, it also emerged as the most sought-after development language in a 2020 Stack Overflow survey.

Let's quickly get down to the brass tacks of what makes ReactJS such a popular option.

#1: Reusable system components in ReactJS streamline updates, testing, and maintenance. Changes in one component don't mess up the others, making coding fuss-free.

#2: JavaScript extension (JSX), while optional, adds a lot of value. It simplifies the process of converting HTML mockups into ReactElement trees and helps manage large component trees.

#3: Virtual DOM is a game-changer for performance. It allows for smooth, hiccup-free functioning of websites and apps, making outsourcing ReactJS development services a smart move for businesses.

#4: ReactJS's declarative language means UI updates are a snap, with automatic modifications in response to data changes.

#5: Being SEO-friendly is a major plus for ReactJS. Its server-side rendering lets search engine bots treat apps like regular HTML pages, boosting visibility.

#6: The bigger developer community of ReactJS is a lifeline during development hiccups. Open source and collaborative, it ensures smooth sailing in app and website creation.

#7: React Developer Tools, an essential browser extension, helps in component inspection and crafting bug-free apps.

#8: Stable code is another hallmark of ReactJS. Its codebase is thoughtfully designed, backward compatible, and migration-friendly.

Now that we’ve touched upon the benefits of ReactJS, let’s get into the crux of the matter.

Reasons To Outsource ReactJS Development to India

ReactJS works as an effective development tool, especially when you have dedicated resources on board and have them at your disposal when needed. However, setting up an in-house ReactJS team is easier said than done, as it means going through the whole hiring process and needing solid project management skills.

Conversely, choosing to outsource ReactJS development to an offshore software company can be a much smarter move. Here are 8 undeniable reasons why:

Maximize Budget Efficiency

Outsourcing your ReactJS development to a ReactJS Outsourcing Company in India can be a real budget-saver. You can skip the hefty costs that come with an in-house team, like salaries, training, and benefits. This will especially benefit startups and smaller firms looking for extensive ReactJS development.

Scale Projects Easily

Expanding the scope of your project becomes a frictionless experience with outsourcing ReactJS development. It's ideal for building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), offering a hassle-free alternative to the full-fledged affair of managing an in-house team.

Simplify Maintenance

Outsourcing to ReactJS outsourcing companies in India means you can worry less about the time and effort spent on team upkeep. Going this route will free you from employee management challenges and let you focus on the bigger picture.

Access Global Expertise

Outsourcing ReactJS connects you with the expertise of the creme de la creme in ReactJS. These pros can take your app or website to a different level with their know-how and the tricks of the trade.

Speed Up Market Entry

A ReactJS Outsourcing Company in India understands your needs quickly and works tirelessly to bring your app to life faster than an in-house team could. This efficiency is key in getting your product to market swiftly.

Focus on Core Business

With your ReactJS development safely in the hands of a ReactJS Development Company, you can concentrate on your business's core activities. Which means more time for strategy, marketing, and growth.

Enjoy Flexibility

Outsourcing ReactJS development offers effortless flexibility. Whether scaling your team or shifting project directions, an outsourced team adapts quickly, unlike the rigid structure of in-house teams.

Innovate Continuously

Partnering with a ReactJS Development Company ensures you're reaping the benefits of what's the latest. It brings fresh outlooks and trend-driven methodologies, paving the way for innovative development and user testing.

Choosing to outsource your ReactJS development opens doors to worldwide talent, cost savings, and the ability to adjust your project size as needed. But it's crucial to pick the right partner who understands both the technical side and the workflow of ReactJS development.

4.5 Years No Contact

Attached talks about the concept of a “phantom ex” as a deactivating strategy for those with an avoidant attachment style. Essentially, the avoidant person uses the comparison to and memory of their ex as a way to keep their current partner at an arm’s length.

And boy does this ring true for me.

I feel like I am intensely comfortable in the bitterness and passion I feel toward Logan and my relationship and maybe am scared to let go of it.

I don’t ever want him back. This arrangement in my head is contingent on the distance.

There are firm boundaries, even when single. I will never break no-contact. I will never picture him next to me before I fall asleep. I no longer think of him fondly or try to empathize with him.

But the actual era. My actual love.

I like it. Its familiar.

It’s an old friend that’s always by my side.

It’s a predictable story that’s been told hundreds of times.

It’s a battle in my head that once beat me to the ground every day, but with whom I now playfully joust in the corners of my mind.

It gives me a similar passion and fuel as relationships do when I need to access it, but it requires no maintenance or vulnerability.

It’s just there to remind me that I knew what eternal love felt like at one time.

I don’t want to feel it again right now.

But it’s just there to remind me

I hate you and I’ll never forgive you 🖤

But the second I get too comfortable, that bitterness begins to morph into fondness every time and his ghost returns.

Even now. Even in a happy relationship. Even after all these years.

The phantom of Logan materializes next to me while I attempt to plan out a day trip.

“Look who’s using Wikitravel 😜. Haven’t you spent enough time in Lawrence to know where everything is yet?”

Shit. I got too comfortable and now his ghost is back. Shut up, Logan that lives in my head.

But the problem is, the ghost of Logan gets me. He’s very easy to talk to. Almost like a friend.

Shawn isn’t like any other person I’ve ever dated, okay? He’s sweet and authentic, and I want to be a good girlfriend to him. I want to take him to see cool things. I don’t want to get us lost and inconvenience him.

“I’m happy for you,” he tells me, though I’m not sure I believe him. “I see you trying not to repeat mistakes from past relationships, and you look like you’re doing your best,”

The problem is, I say ‘fuck it’ and launch in, that I’m trying so hard to be a good partner, but it’s not exactly natural. I’m so used to being in toxic relationships like ours, full of suspicion and manipulation. I’m trying to correct a lot of my behavior as I go, but I don’t know how much of that to clue him in on. I don’t want to scare him away. I don’t know what the line is between independently adjusting my thoughts and behaviors to avoid problems and not being honest with him.

“I have faith in you that you’ll find a balance,” Phantom Logan tells me, “You’ve always been motivated to work on yourself and have never had reservations about expressing what’s on your mind,”

But I don’t even know what’s normal and healthy. I’m so used to being love-bombed that I don’t know how much we should know about each other at this stage. I don’t know how much correspondence is appropriate and how much is too much.

“There’s no universal normal rate of communication,” he says, “That’s just something you’ll have to figure out amongst yourselves. And I think you can do it,”

I know I should let go. I know I should never let it get this far, and that idealizing that relationship is always the next step in being dragged back into the underworld.

But if the Phantom Ex is so toxic, why does he always give such good advice?

Design Agency in Noida - Mongoosh Designs

In this world of competition and race, in order to get a lead in business and make your business above all the others, one needs to think differently and fulfill all the demands of the customers.

Different Elements Brand designs include:

Logo

Whether it’s a wordmark, reasonable imprint, or blend mark, a logo is a brand’s stamp on the world. A logo is a stylish image full of implying that it has the ability to impart a brand’s substance in a visual moment to all who experience it.

Colors 

Colors are fundamental for brand plan. Each tone particularly affects the brain research of a brand’s crowd. Understanding that effect is vital to taking advantage of varieties in brand plans. 

Typography 

Text styles and typefaces are an extraordinary plan component in that each is a plan framework regardless of anyone else’s opinion. Since they are carefully and purposefully planned, typefaces bring a particular, ready-made character to mark the plan. 

Illustration

As characterized by the arrangement of cognizance, shape is the most fundamental visual upgrade. Yet, on the grounds that they are essential doesn’t mean shapes aren’t saturated with rich instinctual meaning. Whether they’re at a slant, intriguing or doubtlessly illustrative, shapes include a strong fundamental part of brand plan. 

Iconography 

Representation is another component that can confer strong and quick character to mark a plan. It’s vital to characterize a durable and uniform representation style, as well as be aware of how outlines will be utilized with other plan components. 

Texture and Pattern 

Iconography is a method for imparting complex data through work on illustrated illustrations. Part workmanship and part science, great iconography gives architects an illustrative language roused by the business and vehicle for which it is made. Vital for successful iconography are straightforwardness and lucidity. 

Photography 

Surface alludes to surface quality in plan. Similarly as material surfaces can be harsh, smooth, glossy, fluffy, etc, so might visual surfaces at any point rethink the nature of a surface. Design, then again, is the purposeful reiteration of shape or structure. Designs are arranged designs whose mathematical nature implies they can be effectively efficiently manufactured. It’s memorable that surfaces and examples are supporting components. They ought to upgrade the message you wish to pass on, never divert from it. 

Video 

Photography is a critical component to mark plans and incorporates illustrative symbolism supporting a brand’s situation and character. The style and treatment of visual pictures illuminates their effect on brand plan as much as their substance. 

Animation and Motion 

Video is a remarkable and convincing method for acquainting narrating with your image plan. Video has been demonstrated to catch the consideration of crowd individuals longer and more completely than some other medium. 

Interactive Elements 

Activity and movement rejuvenate in any case static plan in unique ways. Both are best exercised with self control, in unpretentious criticism for microinteractions, for instance, as opposed to prompt pleasure or engaging clients. At the point when movement is utilized in an unobtrusive and deliberate manner, it can assist clients with building mental models about how a framework functions and how they can communicate with it. The upside of movement is likewise its downside: it stands out. We are delicate and inclined to be occupied by a movement, significant or not.

Data Visualization 

Intelligent components are configuration that clients can connect with, normally on a site or online experience. By connecting with the client in a persuasive relationship, intelligent components add a strong person to mark a plan that goes past simple movement or movement.

Information perception is the most common way of addressing complex information in outlined components like diagrams and charts. Information perceptions ought to continuously be intended for clearness and appreciation, notwithstanding tasteful allure. 

Layout 

The groundwork of compelling brand configuration is how its visual components are coordinated and situated according to one another. This is known as format. Formatting the two gives importance to planning and makes it outwardly engaging. It gives balance from one page to another and carries out a natural ordered progression that makes it simple to explore visual correspondence.
