❋ If you are a villain, then let me be your accomplice ❋
feat: Lilia genre: mild hurt/comfort, slow burn romance note: sequel to reincarnated into a new world as the bad guy AU Lilia ver, no pronouns used, Lilia is depicted as his older appearance with long hair, human!reader, mentions of minor injuries unintentionally inflicted on reader, 1.6k word count 
I liivvveee! For now, anyway. I still have my job projects and finals are upon me but I finally found some time to myself so I hope you enjoy another addition to the Villain/ess!series. I might end up failing a class but I know it’s not the end of the world for me and I really enjoyed the class so I wouldn’t mind retaking the class.
Yeaa...this did not end up as domestic fluff
WARNING: This part has kinda hard-to-read topics regarding children and childrearing. Sometimes parents, guardians, caretakers and/or other children accidentally get injured by a child and the child doesn’t know how to get over that. We never want to blame the child for these mistakes but we want to make sure they can learn to avoid such mistakes again. This is an odd case since these are fictional non-human characters and some people can view Lilia as too harsh or see MC/reader as too lenient. I’ve seen parents approach this concern differently and honestly to me, the next course of action is never easy to figure out without truly discussing with the child and those involved.  I'm not saying whose method is right or wrong, I just wrote what would be the best course of action in this scenario. You might have your own opinions or approaches. Read at your own risk
Tumblr media
A lot has happened since your first visit to the Vanrouge household. Lilia surprised you by taking both of you into his home, protecting you while helping to raise the young Yung. He offered a room to the small dragon and one for yourself (though Yung still prefers to sleep in your bed with you). 
Speaking of Yung, he was still wary of Lilia and his servants, choosing to hide himself in your embrace or behind your legs. He refused to speak to anyone and if he needed something, he would whisper into your ears and being the pampering type, you would oblige. 
“Dear me, he seems to have really imprinted himself on you” Lilia chuckled casually but then he quickly hardened his gaze and the conversation turned more serious. “However, if he does not grow out from this phase, he may end up unable to control his dragon side and hurt himself or you” 
This worries you as you know due your knowledge from your previous life that Yung will grow to be very powerful but he fell victim to his own strength and destroyed himself with his power. 
Distressed, you begged Lilia to give his guidance as the former guardian of the Dragon King and with a playful smile, he gave an offer to you. 
“Very well, I will be his guide. But as a fair trade of service, why don’t you become my attendant? This would occupy your time and perhaps young Yung could use this to be a little more independent?” 
And thus began Yung’s days of torture as your new job constantly took precious time from him by Lilia. Yung can no longer ask for walks with you because you’re needed to look over some paperwork with the duke. Nights where you would lull him to sleep were getting less and less as Lilia requested your assistance in looking over some schedule details before the new day. And even when Yung gets to hang out with you, Lilia would almost always be there to monopolize your attention. 
At first, you decided to trust the young(?) duke and his tactics since you did come to him for his guidance anyway. Despite the rather playful demeanor he seems to have, Lilia seemed so confident to you and assured you time and time again that this is a rite of passage of sorts for fae like him and Yung since powerful beings like them must learn self-control before anything else. 
But self-control continues to elude Yung and it wasn’t long before the cute little dragon decided enough was enough.
“Wuv is mine! Mister duke go away!” 
To the best of his ability, Yung wrapped his short arms around your waist as he screamed at the duke. If Yung was any normal child, his growth would have been unprecedented as he was already walking (to chase after you and Lilia) and speaking fairly comprehensible sentences (to yell at Lilia). But as a fae, this was a typical growth spurt, quickly growing stronger and bigger than a typical human to ensure his survival. His physical strength was more obvious to you right now as the young child was unintentionally tightening his grip on you which started to hurt. 
“Yung, l-love” you tried to speak but it came out as a short gasp as the small fae ignored your call. His hands, while small, kept digging through your clothes and into your skin which made you wince slightly. You tried other means of grabbing the young one’s attention but all was moot as all of Yung’s focus zeroed in on Lilia alone, his eyes glowing a slightly menacing color and a glare reminiscent of a dragon ready to defend his territory.
“Sigh…you are still a foolish child” 
In an instant, the pain in your sides lessened as you found yourself in the arms of the duke instead of Yung’s hold. Both you and Yung were shocked by this sudden change of the situation. How did neither of you notice Lilia as he somehow managed to rip you out from the young dragon’s grip without his notice or harming you in the process? 
“Are these the skills of an experienced fae?” 
After looking over you for any major injuries, Lilia sighed again with slight disappointment, reminiscent of a father figure upset with a child that nearly broke something precious. “How can you protect your treasure when you can’t even protect them from yourself?” 
Following Lilia’s previous line of sight, Yung’s heart sank when he saw the torn fabric of your outfit. With his extraordinary senses, he caught glimpses of red lines across your skin through the ripped clothing. He instinctively reached out his small hand to you but saw his nails were longer and sharper, like talons of a dragon. 
He hurt you. He hurt you. He hurt you. 
Yung broke into tears as those words cycled in his head, haunting him for his crime. You were instinctively pushing yourself from Lilia by the sound of his cries, running to enclose your arms around the poor fae child, holding him while softly giving words of comfort. 
“Love, I’m alright. It was an accident, I know that” 
 But Yung continued to sob and he apologized profusely, his voice getting sore from his cries. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Lilia stood still behind you, watching silently as you continued to console your child, wiping Yung’s tears and holding his small, shaking hands. 
Tumblr media
Night came and Lilia visited you in your room once the family doctor was done tending to your scratches. The head of the manor immediately called for the doctor but you refused to show your injuries while Yung was still panicking over the incident. It was only when Yung calmed down and stayed with him until he fell asleep in his room. You kept your smile as you downplayed your wounds, not letting Yung blame himself.
When Lilia entered your room with your permission, he shocked you as he said something unexpected. 
“I’m sorry.” He even bowed his head to you, showing the sincerity of his words.
You replied with confusion in your voice. “Pardon? What for?” 
“I expected that Yung was getting possessive of you but I didn’t think that you would get this hurt in my attempt to distance you two. I should have intervened sooner” 
Lilia held this guilt throughout the day, ashamed that he roped you into his little test for the dragon fae. He knew raising a powerful fae will be a rough journey, taking his experience from caring for Malleus. But if Lilia were the one to get hurt, it would be but a scratch that would heal in an instant. Whatever Yung would do, Lilia can handle it with ease. 
But you weren’t fae. You were a human that bleed at the lightest touch from his kind, that break much too easily, and perish much too soon. 
“You should leave this manor” Lilia stated with an uncharacteristically serious tone. “I will find a comfortable inn for you to stay in and provide other essentials until you can find another living situation to your liking” 
“Wait a minute!” You jumped from your seat, your mind thrown for a loop. “I can’t just leave, what will happen to Yung? It'll break his heart! I didn’t mean to inconvenience your grace and your plans but I’ll be care-“ 
“Do you not understand the dangers of your situation?” Lilia’s tone was ice cold. “You nearly bled from what Yung thought was a childish hug. What if he were to get angry one day and suddenly knock you unconscious? He is not a mere human child but a fae, and a strong one as well. You are a human that may die by his own hands” 
Silence filled your room as the weight of Lilia's words sink in.
You won’t lie, Yung’s nails were painful and your wounds still sting even after treatment. In the story from your past memories, Yung’s power will be on par with the current Dragon King, with the power to move mountains and call upon flames that would leave nothing in its path. Yung will continue to grow stronger and nothing you, a powerless human, can do that will be able to stop him. 
But still… 
“I stayed silent because I didn't know what would be good for Yung. But damn it, I love that child! As long as he needs me, I’ll be there for him” you locked eyes with the long-haired fae with determination. “He’ll become stronger, but he wouldn't hurt others. He is a happy, kind child"
"And how will you ensure that?"
"I will be there to make sure he stays that way” you made a bold choice, but you're confident in this. You were confident in your little Yung that he will go against his ending in that story nonsense of your previous world.
Crossing your arms, you made another bold comment.
“Besides…you still agreed to guide him. So, this will be a team effort” You were testing your luck but you assumed that should anything like today happen again, then you could always hide behind the great general Vanrouge. That's a team, right? Being able to depend on them during tough patches?
But Lilia stayed quiet and chose to simply match your stare with his. It was intimidating to have such an attractive man look at you with such intensity but you held your ground. You puffed out your chest and refused to look away from Lilia’s admittedly beautiful ruby-coloured eyes. 
Then…Lilia giggled. 
“Lilia, the renowned general…giggled….and it was so cute?!” 
You were taken aback when you saw a soft smile crept onto Lilia’s lips, so different from his mischievous grin whenever he scares you from behind during work or the confident smirk when he wins a round of a card game that you introduced to him from your original world. You were upset, offended even that he would giggle at your proud proclamation to care for Yung. But wow, he was really attractive doing so.
Not noticing your conflicted expression (or choosing to ignore it), Lilia placed a hand on your head, closer to your forehead, then moved slowly to caress your head. His touch was so gentle, careful not to scratch you or add unnecessary pressure. 
“He’s good at holding back his strength” you thought, only having heard the stories of the unbeatable general. Lilia is a playful man but his power is impressive even among other fae so this gentle side of him was a pleasant surprise to you.
“Goodness gracious, I wonder if this is where Yung gets his audaciousness from?” Lilia had a shine in his eyes as he kept his gaze on you, almost as though he was captivated by what he saw. “I look forward to your cooperation then, teammate”

What is Numerology?
Numerology is a pretty old technique that uses numbers to assess the character and destiny of any given person. It can also be used to check the nature of a new pet, business, and anything else with a name and/or a start/birth date. This can also be paired with a simple form of astrology for more accurate predictions, or used on its own. A simple search on the Britannica website for ‘numerology’ will give you an extremely short article. But, I pulled the following quote from there: “The theory behind numerology is based on the Pythagorean idea that all things can be expressed in numerical terms because they are ultimately reducible to numbers.” 
However, numerology was practiced in Ancient India (in the Vedas) and China (in the I Ching) which were, coincidentally, before Pythagoras/the Pythagorean Brotherhood’s time. But, since the way Pythagoras taught his method of using numerology seemed to have truly stuck with most other cultures around the world, this way of numerology is the most accessible. The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews also used number systems based on the letters of their alphabet; but the numbers we have today came from the Arabs.
Let’s get to the fun part!
How do I use Numerology?
So, Numerology in my opinion, is the absolute easiest form of divination. Just remember to take notes as you go, and you’ll be fine! 
Or, you can reach out for help from someone you trust that knows numerology; or you can reach out to literally anyone on the internet willing to teach this, but be careful with that one… I believe knowledge should be free, but that’s not the case with a few other people, I’ve heard. So if they ask for a payment, make sure you’ve truly looked at their blog/page. If their vibe doesn’t sit right with you, don’t do it. Money can make good people funny. And not in a good way.
Okay! Let’s get back to this topic. How do I/you use numerology? Super easy. There are two SUPER common types of numbers, and they are usually the first thought in people’s head when they think about Numerology as a whole. They are the Destiny and Life Path numbers!
The difference between these numbers is that the Destiny number shows your life’s purpose and the pattern by which you’ll achieve that, and the Life’s Path number is usually used to make forecasts about one's future. 
I’ll make a separate post on what the numbers 1—9 mean, because that’s what we’re going to be working with for right now; but in the meantime, let me explain what you’ll need to figure out your numbers!!
Materials:
Your Full Name
Your Date of Birth
Pen/pencil
Paper
Calculator (optional)
It’s not a super complex mathematical formula that we’ll be using, just some basic addition!
Also!! If you are transgender, or nonbinary; or you’ve changed your name for any reason—PLEASE use the name YOU HAVE CHOSEN for yourself! If you’re comfortable with it too, you can also use the old/dead name to compare the potential outcomes of your life! If you’re not too comfortable with that, don’t sweat it!
Okay, so you’ve got your materials; cool beans, now what? You’re now going to assign the letters of the alphabet numbers!
Instructions: 
Write the numbers 1—9 across the width of the paper. So you’re going to write out:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, making sure they’re spaced out enough to write in columns beneath them and not have things overlapping. For ease of reading!
Put the letters beneath the numbers in the order I have listed:
A,J,S under 1.
B,K,T under 2
C,L,U under 3
D,M,V under 4
E,N,V under 5
F,O,X under 6
G,P,Y under 7
H,Q,Z under 8
I,R under 9.
Now, spell out your FULL NAME!! 1st, middle (if you have it), last and anything after that! You’re now going to add up the numbers! I like to keep my number in three separate rows, so my first name has one, middle the second, and last the third line.. Just for the sake of keeping things readable/not too overwhelming.
My numbers, just because I don’t want to give my full name out on the internet; are:
24, 29, 29. But! We need one number between 1 and 9. If you do 24+29(2)=82, you can then simplify my numbers to: 8+2=10, 1+0=1.
What we did here was we found our Destiny number. Pretty neat right?
Let’s do our life path number as well.
Get your birthday written out, it doesn't matter if you use the UK, US, or any other style of writing out dates, because they will always add up to the same number!
Mine is: 12/20/2003. I’ve got it pretty easy, because there’s a bunch of 0’s in mine and I’m working with small numbers.
1+2+2+0+2+0+0+3=10, 1+0=1. And BOOM! We have our life path number as well. 
So, before this post gets crazy long; I hope you have a wonderful day, and I’ll be posting the meanings of the numbers 1—9 with three posts; because I have a lot to say! Bye!!

hey! just wanna know, how do you feel about hellenism related media? do you like something?
Hey, Nonny, thanks for the ask! I appreciate that you're curious about my opinion.
Personally, I don't engage with modern media about the gods much. I've had people tell me about it, and I've read about it, but there's a lot of stuff out there that I haven't really interacted with. I try not to be too judgemental, although I used to be a lot more critical of how modern media depicts the gods, but it's still not something I often enjoy. As a worshipper, my opinion is always bound to be biased, but I try my best to judge modern media for its story-telling rather than its accuracy (although that doesn't always happen, if I feel the depictions are egregious enough).
Below, I'll state my thoughts and opinions on the media I have interacted with (or at least have heard extensively about which is the case for Percy Jackson, as I haven't read the books).
I did like the Hades game! I felt it was really fun to play through, and as a game, it kept me engaged. I genuinely had fun with the game mechanics and the relationships you can build with other characters. It has its flaws, but so does every game. I've recently heard some grumbling about the way it depicts Greek mythology, but honestly, I think that if people are basing all of their knowledge of Greek mythology on a video game, it's up to natural selection at that point (this is a joke).
Along with Hades, I did find myself enjoying Immortals: Fenyx Rising. I was surprised with how similar the gameplay was to Genshin Impact, actually, but I'm not gonna talk about that lol. Fenyx isn't as widely known, but the way it handles Greek mythology is adequate and intriguing. The characters are pretty fun, and I enjoyed helping them in their main quest. The twist at the end (I will not spoil it) rubbed me kind of the wrong way, but I understood that it's just a game trying to tell a story, you know? It was fun, engaging, and interesting. Oh, and the monsters were pretty cool! I loved how they included monsters that you wouldn't really expect to see. The Hydra was a bit underwhelming to me, though.
Then there's the God of War series. Listen, I LOVED the recent additions to God of War that centered on the Norse pantheon - beautiful graphics, interesting story-telling, and a fun use of the mythology - but the original games that take place in Greece kind of bothered me. Mostly, yes, it was the representation of the gods. The way pretty much all of them were villainized (and the way they did Hermes so, so dirty, imo 💀) was a bit comical and strange to me. It felt like it lacked nuance to their characters (even Aphrodite was kind of there for one main "purpose" if you catch my drift). I also wasn't too big on the character designs of all the gods. Some were interesting, but others didn't land for me (mostly Hermes; he looks like he should be Apollo or Helios, and I just don't understand what they were trying to do with his design). Overall, it's a VERY fun series, but I find myself not being able to enjoy the original games as much because of their depictions of the gods.
Other forms of media (that are more popular), however, aren't really my thing. Percy Jackson isn't something I'm too big on. It plays into a lot of harmful tropes about the gods, and unfortunately, I've had some bad experiences with the more disrespectful side of the fandom. Not every PJO fan is an asshole, though (most aren't), which is extremely important to keep in mind (I see a lot of hate in the HelPol community towards them sometimes, so that's why I say that). I felt the plots were creative, for sure, but I didn't like the way Rick handled some topics or the way he sort of twisted the mythology for his own purposes. Like, some of these major plots throughout the series are absolutely bizarre; they make certain gods out to be massive assholes, tbh. Also, I didn't like the way Rick stated that the Greek gods "left the dangerous Mediterranean"; it just felt like a really weird and uncomfortable way to refer to Greece. I think if Percy Jackson brings new people into HelPol, then that's great, but people definitely shouldn't base their knowledge of Greek mythology on the books which is something I've unfortunately seen happen. If you enjoy the series, that's cool; it's just not my cup of tea, personally.
I think the one piece of modern media about the gods that I genuinely hate - and I really do mean hate - is Lore Olympus. That shit has harmed even the pagan community which is kind of wild. I've literally had people call me an "Apollo sympathizer" for worshipping a god who is NOTHING like the damn comic. It is an extremely disrespectful representation of the gods and mythology, and it's something that gets under my skin quite a lot. And honestly, it doesn't need to happen with the Greek gods. If you took the characters out of the setting they're in and placed them somewhere else, it wouldn't really change much, in my opinion; the Greek mythology part of it is really just used for the dramatics. It doesn't have much to do with Greek mythology besides just wanting to make Persephone and Hades the main focus. I have other complaints about it, but I will save my Lore Olympus critique for another day lol. I could go on forever about what bothers me.
-
I hope this answered your question thoroughly! Feel free to ask more if you're curious about anything else. Have a great day/night. ☺️🧡

Genshin Butlers+ AU
𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: You’re a noble in Victorian England, and they are now part of your staff.
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Diluc, Kaeya, Albedo | gn!reader 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 1192 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: None
𝐀/𝐍: None of these are outright romantic, but let your imagination go wild. Maybe will do a pt. 2. If there are any requests, send them here ^-^: Requests!
𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝: Their Letters to You (I) [Childe, Diluc, Kaeya, Zhongli | gn!reader]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
𝐀𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐨
>> Albedo makes an incredible teacher, however, he is also extremely strict and expects the absolute best from you, nothing else. If you happened to be the type to let your focus slip while being lectured, after being unable to complete the mountainous pile of homework he assigned you, the habit is quickly dropped.
>> He quizzes you relentlessly everyday without informing you of the types of questions that he plans to ask, allowing for no chance of preparation. Though it seems that his methods are needlessly cruel, Albedo works equally has hard to understand to make sure that you internalize everything he teaches.
>> He will switch from topic to topic all in a single lecture, claiming that it is to keep your mind sharp and alert, but it’s really because he frequently falls into tangents.
>> In addition to being a well-read scholar, Albedo is also a fine artist. In between classes, he used to sketch you as you worked, but it has become more of him teaching you how to paint, capturing the world around you.
>> Though he is a strict teacher, when he is not instructing you, Albedo makes for an amazing friend to talk with. He has experience with a multitude of different fields, so conversations are never dull. From his readings, he has also picked up great knowledge of many games, making him a worthy advisory for nearly all the games you challenge him to.
“Hm.” Albedo stares down a long page of calculations and diagrams. “Good,” he states, “you’ve improved, my Liege. However, please explain to me why you chose to find k rather than F first.” He glances up at you expectantly before adding, “It’s certainly not wrong, I’m just simply curious.”
* * *
Albedo’s eyes watched from the doorway, gaze striking over your shoulder. As you turned to face him, he strolled in with an indecipherable expression. “You shouldn’t face the window while you paint, my Liege. The light is much too harsh,” he said, picking your easel and turning it to the side so that the light poured in from all sides. Instantly, the colours saturated, rich hues of blues and purples warmed by the afternoon sun while the reds and yellows lit aflame. “How’s this?” he considered your work for a long moment before taking the seat behind you, watching as you resumed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐜
>> Diluc is very strict on the rest of the workers at the estate. His expects everyone to behave accordingly and stay on task. While he is strict on his staff, he’s even more strict on himself, not allowing himself to rest or take time to relax. >> He is also very aware of his place. Diluc will give you advice and guidance when requested, but he is very adamant on not providing his opinion unless told to. His job is to keep the estate and staff running smoothly, as to allow you to do your work in comfort. >> The man works the longest shifts out of everyone and few have actually seen him sleeping. He manages to be the last one in bed and the first one up every day. >> Diluc is always in uniform that is ironed sharp and spotless. Throughout the day, it becomes looser, but there is never a stain upon the fabric. Although, you had caught him once very off guard whilst he was up in the early morning hours, deep in some paperwork. His hair was disheveled and fell between his eyes, his tie loose around his neck, and his suit was tossed over a chair. To spare Diluc’s dignity, you wandered off in silence before he noticed your presence. >> To pull him away from his work, you’ve requested him to play chess with you for an afternoon. At first, he was hesitant, insisting he was unfit for the task and that you should request the mind of Albedo. But, he eventually succumbed to your insistence and now quiet afternoons are often passed with the soft thudding of wooden pieces moving across a checkered board, their shadows stretching with the setting sun.
You peered out of the pages of your novel and over at Diluc scribbling something in the corner. His eyebrows scrunched together, and his hair curtained some of his face, but despite that, he remained a picture-perfect example of a butler. “Diluc,” you set down your book, “it’s gotten late. Perhaps you should go to bed.”
The sounds of pen on paper breathed for a moment. He looked up at you, softly bowing his head. “Your care for me is most kind, my Liege. However, please don’t take the time to worry about me.” Diluc set down his pen and rose. “Allow me to escort you to your room. The day will be demanding tomorrow.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
𝐊𝐚𝐞𝐲𝐚
>>  Kaeya is ridiculously suave, and disregards you as his employer. He stands nearly atop you and barely acknowledges the concept of personal space. A favorite past time of his is simply toying with you, treating you a little too casually. Often Diluc has to step in and pry Kaeya off you, but you know that he’s only joking around. >> With his mastery over the spoken word, he aides you in navigating social situations, acting as an adviser of sorts. While he does insist that you keep face outside of the estate, behind closed doors, he’ll always be up for playing around, breaking rules, and having fun—much to the rest of the staff’s dismay. >> In addition to being an extraordinary socialite, Kaeya’s is talented in both the art of dance and fencing. He soon becomes your instructor for both disciplines, honing your grace and ferocity. >> In truth, Kaeya’s real job is not to aid your social life and give you guidance. He was hired to collect and provide Diluc with intelligence about potential threats to your family’s wellbeing. So while in the day, he mostly hangs around, lounging across couches and entertaining you, Kaeya spends nights mingling around the city, gathering priceless intel.
“Wonderful, my Liege,” he said, leading you across the ballroom. “And one, and two…” his grip around you tightened, pulling you closer to his warm chest. Nearly embracing, you stumbled over Kaeya’s sweeping steps and collapsed further into his arms. “Ah, my Liege, are you alright? You must be more cautious next time.” He kept you held in his embrace, pulling just far enough away to see your face. “If you wanted me to hold you, you could have just said so,” he said with a mischievous smile at the sight of your flushing cheeks.
* * *
“My Liege.” Kaeya rested his hands gently on your shoulders and leaned in from behind. You turned your head to face him. He was barely an inch away, reaching out for your cheek with a bare hand. “Allow me.” His frigid thumb pressed softly into your cheek, swiping across your soft skin. “It’s unsightly to leave the estate with paint smeared across your face.” Kaeya smeared the paint between his thumb and index finger in consideration. “Though, you look like quite the artiste when you do.”

maya's doom guide
playing "oldschool"
i've played a lot of doom and it is my opinion that Doom (aka doom 1 aka doom 93) is a Good Game that you Should Play. there's a lot of different ways to play it on modern machines so this explains my personal preference. my general philosophy is to add minimal quality of life features to an otherwise original 1993 faithful experience.
i think "newschool" stuff like GZDoom and gameplay mods are best for people who already like the game and want to push the engine to its limits. however, for people who are just getting into the game and want to know what makes it interesting in terms of game history, i recommend playing "oldschool."
here's how i think you should play:
source port: Crispy Doom
https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom/releases
a source port is how you run the game on modern machines. in the above link, under the assets section of the latest release, download the doom zip for your system. it should be something like crispy-doom-6.0.0-win64.zip. extract the folder; this is where your game is effectively installed.
Crispy Doom is a fork of the incredibly vanilla-faithful Chocolate Doom with a few modern differences. i recommend it for its WASD key rebinds, resolution settings, and framerate settings. otherwise, i think you keep all "crispiness" settings as default for a vanilla experience. if you're interested in completionist runs where you get 100% secrets, you may set "report revealed secrets" to "on" and/or set "show level stats" to "in automap". do not enable free look, do not disable autoaim, and do not enable jumping.
iwad: Ultimate Doom, The
https://archive.org/details/2020_03_22_DOOM
an internal "where's all the data" file aka IWAD is the game that runs via your source port. download Ultimate Doom, The and put it into your source port directory. if you want to play a different game, like Doom II, download that IWAD instead.
The Ultimate Doom runs the final 1.9 engine and includes the 4th episode "Thy Flesh Consumed." the 4th episode has an interesting development history; it was released after Doom II was released and it has a more eclectic set of level designers including American McGee's infamous e4m1 Hell Beneath and John Romero's divisely beloved e4m2 Perfect Hatred. i do not think you have to play e4 to "get" Doom.
pwads: DAR's DOOM Marathon
https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/89263-dars-doom-marathon-music-mod-updated-070322
a patch wad aka PWAD is how you mod an IWAD. i recommend this mod to change the game's soundtrack. first download DAR's DOOM 1 Marathon and put it into your source port directory. now we have to run it.
imo, the easiest way to run PWADs with Crispy Doom is to write a batch file and include your PWAD via command line arguments. create a new text file and paste: .\crispy-doom.exe -iwad doom.wad -file "DARs_DOOM_Marathon.wad", save it and rename it to doom.bat (make sure you overwrite the .txt to be .bat). instead of running your .exe, run the .bat instead.
while i'm very far on the vanilla end of the oldschool-newschool spectrum, i find Doom's midi music underwhelming. DAR's soundtrack is faithful to the original composition but recreated with more depth than midi could ever achieve. music is a massive factor in my enjoyment of video games and i think this PWAD makes the game strictly better. compare the youtube links from the forum post to uploads of the vanilla OST online and decide if this is for you.
how to play: the story and the controls
a regular part of any old game is to read the [fucking] manual. you don't actually have to, but it's debatably faithful to have this knowledge going in. here's a scan: https://archive.org/details/doom-doom-2-final-doom-scans/Doom/Manual/img001.jpg. as previously mentioned, Crispy Doom has key rebinds which add controls in addition to those described in the manual. the changes are detailed here: https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom/wiki/New-Controls
skill: Hurt me plenty or Ultra-Violence
i am a Gamer with a capital g. i get it. do not play the maximum difficulty.
episode 1 was made with HMP in mind though vets tend to play everything in UV. Nightmare is a literal joke added after release to respond to complaints that the game was too easy. it makes enemies infinitely respawn and gives you 2x ammo. do not play on Nightmare! if you want the game to be harder, limit how many saves you do per playthrough. typical completionists try to "uv-max" a level, meaning they get 100% kills and 100% secrets on UV. getting 100% items is boring.
hungry for more:
if you liked episodes 1-3 so much that you played Thy Flesh Consumed and liked that, play Doom II (Doom II - Hell on Earth (v1.9)! DAR made a soundtrack for it which i again recommend (DAR's DOOM II Marathon). after this, there's a gajillion community mods and level sets to play. this is outside of my realm of expertise, but conventional wisdom is to check out 10 Years of Doom (1993-2003) and The Cacowards (2004-present). i also like https://doomwads.tumblr.com/. hell, go newschool and play stuff like MyHouse.wad!

4 Fun Ways to Make Money During Spring Break
Tumblr media
Spring break is a period to rest and have fun. It’s a time that allows you to take a break from your studies and enjoy vacations in cool places. If you like, earning money during spring break can be an excellent opportunity to finance your vacation or bolster your savings. In addition, you can make your holiday more fulfilling by taking up employment opportunities that fetch you some additional income and offer the prospect of meeting new individuals and acquiring fresh skills.  Regardless of your choice of work, it is prudent to strategize and formulate plans to optimize your earnings during this period. However, if you choose to make money while others enjoy their breaks, there are some fun ways you can do it.  This article highlights 4 ways fun ways to make money during spring breaks.
#1. Join Research Firms and Participate in Surveys
As a college student, you are knowledgeable in a certain academic field. During the spring break period, you can join focus groups and participate in their activities. Most online or in-person focus groups accept college students. As a member of a focus group, you can earn between $20 and $500 per hour. But this depends on the research firms you join and the contributions you make. As a focus group member, you are expected to share your opinion and thoughts with a group of people who have the same interests as you. To maximize your earnings, it's important to sign up with multiple research firms and fill out your profile completely and accurately. This will help the firms match you with surveys and studies that are relevant to your interests and demographic. When you receive survey invitations via email, be sure to respond quickly to increase your chances of being selected. Completing surveys in a timely manner and being honest in your responses will also increase your chances of being selected for future surveys and studies. In addition to signing up with research firms, you may also consider joining a survey aggregator site, such as Swagbucks or InboxDollars. These sites can help you find high-paying survey opportunities from multiple research firms in one place. Your opinion on a product/topic will be used as data that can affect the decision-making process.
#2. Become a Uber or Lyft Driver
If you have a car, you can make money by becoming an Uber or Lyft driver during the spring period. This job enables you to make an average of $15 an hour. According to Ridester, it is estimated that Uber or Lyft drivers make an average of $350 a month and $29,000 a year. The job of an Uber driver allows you to drive to cool places while making money. To get accepted as a Uber driver, you must have a driving license, and you must be above the age of eighteen. The job of an Uber driver does not require academic qualifications. All you need is good communication skills, good driving skills, and knowledge of locations. To get started, first research popular destinations by checking out where spring breakers tend to go and focus on those areas to increase your chances of getting rides. You can also consider offering discounts or promotions to attract more riders during the busy season. Make sure your car is clean and well-maintained to provide a good experience for riders.
Tumblr media
#3. Babysitting Jobs
The job of a babysitter is very lucrative and flexible. You can earn between $10 and $20 an hour as a babysitter. If you love kids and don't mind caring for them, you can make money from babysitting during spring break. There are lots of sites that offer babysitting jobs. However, it is better to find clients yourself. Sites that offer babysitting jobs will connect you with clients needing a babysitter, but a good percentage of your earnings will be taken from you. You can advertise your services to friends, family, and the community. Consider posting flyers or creating social media posts to spread the word. When you begin babysitting, make sure you are reliable and trustworthy. Parents want to feel comfortable leaving their children in your care, so arriving on time and following their instructions is important. You can also consider offering additional services, such as light housekeeping or meal preparation, to increase your earnings. Be clear about your rates and availability, and be willing to negotiate with parents to find a fair price. If you find babysitting clients by yourself, you will get to enjoy your full reward.
#4. Sell on eBay
Spring break affords you the time to sell items online. If you want to make easy money from home, you can start selling on platforms like eBay and Amazon. With online shopping becoming increasingly popular, there are now many ways to sell clothes, shoes, books, and other things on the internet. It's likely that you have a lot of stuff you don't need in your dorm room or at home. Instead of hiding these things, you could make money by selling them on eBay. To get started, think about what items you want to sell. Look for things that you no longer use or need. Once you've picked the products you want to sell, you need to find an online store to post them on. This way, lots of people will see what you have to offer and might want to buy your things. Also, taking really good pictures of your products is important. Clear photos help people see what they're buying and can make them more likely to buy from you. To take good pictures, ensure your products are well-lit and focused. You might want to take pictures from different angles so people can see everything clearly. This will help create a positive impression and make it easier for potential customers to understand what they're getting. You can also decide to ply the path of a drop shipper. A dropshipping business allows you to make cool cash without investment. However, it requires time and dedication. Here's how you can start.
Bottom Line
There are lots of ways to make money during spring break. If you have a high-demand skill, you can become a freelancer. Other jobs that can pay you to include petsitting, affiliate marketing, YouTubing, and more.

6 Ways Doctors Can Spend Their Non-work Hours Productively
As a doctor or physician, you work long hours and often have little time to spare. However, it’s important to make the most of your non-work hours to improve your health and well-being, learn new skills, and earn extra income.
People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness. ~John Wannamaker
Recreation activities are excellent ways to unwind from work, destress yourself, and also engage in activities that will boost your cognition and creativity.
How can doctors who are always engaged in intense cognitive treatments spend their non-work hours productively? Here are 6 ways doctors can spend their non-work hours productively:
Indulge in regular exercise
Pursue a hobby
Read for pleasure and education
Spend time with loved ones
Volunteer for a community
Participate in medical surveys
​​​​​​1. Indulge in regular exercise
As a healthcare professional, you must know the importance of physical activity more than anyone else. Regular exercise is the surefire way to avoid ailments of all types. They are also excellent remedies for mental stressors as well as anxiety, panic attacks, and similar mental health disorders. In short, make time for regular exercise to maintain your health and reduce stress. It is a pastime activity your future health will thank you for.
2. Pursue a hobby
Whether it’s painting, playing an instrument, or gardening, find a hobby that you enjoy and make time for it. Hobbies help shift your focus to less strainful and fun activities. In fact, they might even help you become better at what you do. Australian surgeon Rhea Liang is an expert at knitting and confirms that it helps her focus better. In fact, future Japanese doctors have to make Origami as a recruitment test of their dexterity and patience.
3. Read for pleasure and education
Reading is an excellent way to expand your knowledge and keep your mind sharp. A good book can transport you to a different period, place, fictional or real and help you become better at creative thinking and focusing on one thing at a time. If you are not sure where to begin, choose books on a variety of topics, including healthcare, history, and fiction.
4. Spend time with loved ones
Spending time with family and friends can help you maintain a healthy work-life balance. It gives an opportunity to make  time for meaningful conversations, fun activities, and travel that is not associated with work. It activates your social skills and helps you wind down from the intense rigor of everyday healthcare activities.
5. Volunteer for a community
Volunteering for a community is a great way for doctors to spend their non-work hours productively. Not only does it allow them to give back to the community in a meaningful way, but it also provides you  with an opportunity to expand skills and knowledge by mingling with professionals and experts from diverse backgrounds.
Volunteering also helps in developing empathy and understanding for different patient populations. Additionally, volunteering is proven to provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment outside professional lives, which can contribute to your overall well-being and job satisfaction.
6. Participate in medical surveys
Participating in medical surveys is a great way for doctors to spend their non-work hours productively. You can contribute to the healthcare industry;s betterment by sharing your opinions and insights. This will also help shape the future of healthcare. In addition to advancing medical knowledge, participating in surveys could also provide you with an opportunity to reflect on their own practice and learn from the experiences of their colleagues.
Moreover, doctors can gain a better understanding of the broader healthcare landscape, including trends and challenges affecting their field. Participating in medical surveys can also enhance a doctor’s reputation as a thought leader in their area of expertise, which can lead to networking opportunities and potential collaborations.
How to start participating in medical surveys?
You can start with Medi Opinions, a medical survey tool designed specifically for doctors in the United States.
By participating in Medi Opinions surveys, you can share your insights and opinions on a variety of important healthcare topics, from emerging treatments and technologies to patient care and healthcare policy. Your responses will help shape the future of healthcare and advance medical knowledge in your field.

[ matchmaking... ]
@spongeofaces : [ match report ready ]
Tumblr media
your romantic match is…
✦ Rook Hunt
Tumblr media
-> [ While often overbearing, Rook is really quite sweet and thoughtful. ] He could even be described as considerate, if one ignores the fact that he can very quickly overstep boundaries when getting to know someone due to how zealous he can get. Regardless, these traits of his can be quite useful when trying to befriend someone on the introverted side such as yourself. He’s willing to put the effort into learning who someone is and is perfectly capable of carrying a conversation on his own if needed. If he ever gets to be too much, though, just let him know - he has no problems apologizing and backing off just enough that you no longer feel like he’s being invasive. The more you get to know him in return, you learn that he’s really just interested in figuring people out - and when it comes to people he grows fond of, he becomes very devoted and invested in their comfort and happiness.
-> [ He loves to hear about whatever topic you’ve been researching. The more obscure, the better! ] Rook is the type to value knowledge, both in breadth and depth - so feel free to share with him what you’ve learned. This way, he gets to learn about the subject itself, as well as a little bit about you at the same time! He’s very perceptive and intuitive, and hearing you talk about the topics that you find interesting allows him further glimpses into your mind. He’s quick to pick up your subtle, unspoken opinions in addition to everything that comes out of your mouth during your rants and rambles. Additionally, if he happens to know anything about a particular subject himself, it ends up turning into a very engaging discussion. He can get overly chatty at times, though, which is something he admits himself, but he is really good about letting you have your moment to talk, especially when it pertains to a topic you initially brought up.
-> [ He loves the duality of your personality. ] Though others often describe you as responsible and mature, you mention having a childish, sensitive side. Rook just adores when people aren’t what they initially seem to be, loves being able to peel back your layers to learn who you truly are deep down. It’s rewarding - proof that he’s gotten close enough to you that he sees this side of you. And honestly? He thinks that childish side to you is cute. It shows him that there’s still this sort of youth in you, that you’re still impressionable and learning and genuinely reacting to things in life even though you’re able to fill the mature and responsible role according to others. Also, even if you tend to adopt personality traits from those around you, he insists that however you view it, those traits are a part of you to some degree or another.
-> [ Rook is happy to provide advice on decisions you’re struggling with, but he’s good at encouraging you, too. ] He knows better than anyone that the world is full of individuals, and each person has their struggles. And if you struggle with making your own decisions without input from others? That’s okay! He figures that you’re just worried about making the “wrong” decision, that you value the input and opinion of other people. Still - your life is your own, and he makes sure to remind you of that! While he emphasizes that you should do what feels best for you, he also has really good advice and is able to examine things from many perspectives. On a similar note, Rook is gently encouraging when it comes to you getting out of your comfort zone, but ultimately he lets you take things at your own pace. If you’re worried about making an embarrassment of yourself, he’ll be right by your side, willingly making a fool of himself so you at least don’t feel so alienated.
-> [ Rook is happy to give you physical affection when you need it. ] It doesn’t matter if it’s because you’re craving comfort, because you want his attention, or simply just because - he enjoys being able to hold you close. He especially loves pulling you into his chest in a tight hug and tucking your head against his shoulder while he runs his fingers through your hair. He’s not one for excessive PDA, though he’s perfectly comfortable with the occasional hand holding, hug, or kiss on the cheek. In private, though, he’ll be as affectionate as you allow him to be; he might be a bit much at times! Like you, Rook is also the type to show his adoration for someone in various ways, though he often leans towards words of affirmation and acts of service. He likes to write poetry, so don’t be surprised if you find a sappy love poem tucked away in your bag among your textbooks. It’s so sweet that it’s almost hard to read without blushing.
-> [ It’s okay if you’re forgetful, because Rook will remember for you. ] Perhaps it’s a little unsettling at times, but he truly means well! He tends to keep track of your general schedule, and has a wildly good memory when it comes to any routines or habits you’ve developed. He’s really good about not being too invasive about it, but sometimes it surprises you how much he notices and remembers. When he’s around, you’ll never forget important dates, anniversaries, birthdays, or appointments - and he’s skilled at reminding you of things without being too pushy. Rook himself tends to get really excited when your birthday is coming up because he likes to plan a fun surprise celebration for you (and the surprise is all the better if you do happen to forget about your own birthday--). When it comes to shared events like anniversaries, he insists on you deciding on plans together, which can really help you keep on top of things.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
your platonic match is…
✦ Floyd Leech
Tumblr media
-> [ For better or worse, Floyd is someone who will help bring you out of your shell and comfort zone. ] He’s impulsive and likes to have fun, caring very little for the opinions of others. There are times where you have a lot of fun with him, forgetting your worries and just living in the moment. But there are also times where you feel like he’s attracting way too much attention to the both of you, and you want to crawl into a hole and die out of embarrassment. There’s no in-between in this case. Either way, though, he finds your reactions to be quite amusing (and he doesn’t feel bad in the slightest when you’re feeling mortified in public, unfortunately for you; he’ll just laugh about it). Floyd likes being the one to get you to loosen up here and there - and he’ll boast about it to any mutual friends of yours, too.
-> [ You’re willing to entertain his whims without letting him run absolutely wild. ] You know very well what type of person he is and how he likes to live his life - so you’re a great wingman when it comes to most of his ideas and plans. He appreciates that you’re able to accept who he is and the fact that he is impulsive, doing what he wants when he wants. In a way, you can definitely relate to him. All that said, you also make an effort to discourage Floyd from doing anything super dangerous or harmful, something that’s very likely to come back and bite him in the ass. Yes, you have a childish side, but you know how to be responsible when it matters. Azul and Jade thank you for this (even though Jade is more than willing to let his brother run wild most of the time and reap the consequences).
-> [ Gaming buddies! ] He can be quite particular when it comes to which game you guys play together and when, but you two can usually decide on something without too much fuss (mostly because you’re more on the agreeable and flexible side). Gaming sessions between you two typically start out with you two actively playing a multiplayer game together for a while, eventually shifting to both of you playing games individually in each other’s presence. Things can get pretty intense and heated when you’re playing with each other, with Floyd being naturally competitive and inspiring a similar attitude in you - but then the two of you settle down quite nicely when you decide to game individually, chattering and snacking when your focus isn’t 100% on the games. If you have any game recommendations, definitely let him know; he won’t always try them out, but he’s always on the hunt for something that could potentially become a new favorite.
-> [ Definitely the type to get you frog-themed gifts, considering your fondness for the creature. ] From frog-themed school supplies like pens and notepads, to frog-inspired desserts or snacks. And you’re happy to receive such gifts! After all, it’s quite the feat to get close enough to Floyd Leech that he bothers going out of his way to do things like this for you. He also insists that you don’t need to get him a gift back in return (though he wouldn’t turn a gift down from you), but if you’re insistent on paying him back maybe he’ll keep that in mind to cash in a favor later? Eventually, though, all these gifts may culminate in him assigning you a frog-related nickname… such as tadpole, for example, if he wants to poke a bit of fun at your more childish side that you tend to keep hidden from people. Besides, it’s a cute nickname for a cute person, in his opinion.
-> [ Floyd wants to know what you’re thinking about when you zone out. ] Is it something deep and philosophical? A mental conversation you’re having with yourself? Perhaps just… static and white noise? He can’t help but get super curious since you’re so often lost in your own head, not exactly present in the moment. In a similar vein, despite his somewhat lax (sometimes even callous) attitude towards others, he actually does try to prevent you from accidentally hurting yourself if you zone out around him. He’ll tug you away from a pole you’re about to walk into or uneven terrain you might trip up on, warn you when you’re about to hurt yourself while trimming your nails. Of course, his help does not come without some teasing - often asking you “what would you do without me, huh?” Occasionally he might get a little exasperated with your intermittent lack of self awareness and safety, but he’ll still be there for you.
-> [ In terms of music, Floyd likes what he likes, but is willing to check out music you recommend. ] There are a few genres he tends to avoid, but he generally has a fairly wide range of tastes. Why limit himself to very specific niches when there’s plenty of good music out there? He’ll give practically anything a listen at least once, in any case, even if that’s the only time he’ll listen to certain songs. You can text him and send him your recommendations, but more often than not he’ll look at them and decide to listen to them later… only to completely forget once later rolls around. But he doesn’t mind if you want to share music with him in person! It’s fun for you because you’re able to see his reactions in real time, and it’s convenient for him because you can play the music whether he likes it or not.

Are bloggers influencers?
Yes, bloggers can definitely be considered influencers. In fact, many bloggers have become some of the most influential figures in the digital world. 
But before we dive into the details, let's first understand what exactly an influencer is.
An influencer is someone who has the power to affect the purchasing decisions and opinions of others due to their authority, knowledge, or relationship with their audience. 
They are often seen as experts in their respective fields and have a significant following on various social media platforms.
“Don’t limit yourself to looking only at your direct competition. Make sure to analyze content created by diverse market players, including media and bloggers” - Content Marketing Workbook by Semrush
Now, let's apply this concept to bloggers. 
Bloggers create and publish content on their own websites, covering a wide range of topics such as fashion, beauty, travel, food, technology, online business, digital marketing, make money online, and many more. 
They share their personal experiences, opinions, success and failure stories, and expertise through blog posts, which are usually accompanied by images and sometimes videos.
“Blogger friendships can blossom into cross-posting opportunities, exposing you to a whole new audience. The key here is genuine connection that will result in other bloggers and their audiences engaging with your content” – Google for Creators
Tumblr media
Image Source – 2023 Global Social Media Trends Report by HubSpot and Brandwatch
One of the key factors that make bloggers influential is their ability to build a loyal and engaged audience. 
These are people who trust the blogger's recommendations and value their insights. 
When a blogger recommends a product or service, their followers often consider it as a reliable suggestion and may be more inclined to make a purchase based on that recommendation.
Moreover, bloggers have the advantage of being able to establish a deeper connection with their audience compared to traditional influencers. 
Through their blog posts, they can share personal stories, provide detailed information, and engage in direct conversations with their readers through comments and social media.
Additionally, bloggers often have a strong presence on social media platforms.
They use these platforms to further promote their blog posts, share additional content, and engage with their audience. This amplifies their influence and reach beyond just their blog.
“It's important to note that not all bloggers are influencers, and not all influencers are bloggers” 
However, many successful bloggers have managed to leverage their platforms to become influential figures in their respective niches. 
They have built a personal brand around their blog and have become trusted sources of information and inspiration for their audience.
In conclusion, bloggers can indeed be considered influencers due to their ability to shape opinions, affect purchasing decisions, and build a loyal following.
Their expertise, relatability, and engagement with their audience make them valuable resources for both brands and consumers alike. 
So next time you think about influencers, don't forget about the power of bloggers in the digital landscape.

In this article, we will explore the essential components of a comprehensive YouTube monetization package that can help you maximize your earnings and thrive as a content creator.
I. Content Strategy and Optimization
Creating engaging and high-quality content is the foundation of a successful YouTube channel. However, it's equally important to strategize and optimize your content to attract more viewers and increase your chances of monetization.
Define Your Niche: Selecting a niche or topic that aligns with your expertise and interests can help you build a loyal audience. Choose a niche that has a sizable audience but is not oversaturated with content creators.
Research Keywords: Conduct thorough keyword research to identify the terms and phrases that your target audience is searching for. Incorporate these keywords in your video titles, descriptions, tags, and subtitles to improve your search rankings.
Create Compelling Thumbnails: Eye-catching thumbnails are essential for grabbing viewers' attention amidst the sea of videos on YouTube. Design thumbnails that are visually appealing, relevant to your content, and include text or images that intrigue viewers to click.
Craft Captivating Titles and Descriptions: Your video title and description should be concise, compelling, and optimized with relevant keywords. Make sure they accurately represent the content of your video and entice viewers to watch.
II. Building a Strong Community
Building a loyal and engaged community of viewers is crucial for long-term success on YouTube. A supportive community can boost your channel's visibility, increase watch time, and open doors for additional monetization opportunities.
Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments, interact with viewers on social media, and encourage discussions. Showing genuine interest in your audience's feedback and opinions helps foster a sense of community and encourages viewers to keep coming back.
Collaborate with Other Creators: Collaborations with other YouTubers can introduce your channel to new audiences and help you gain exposure. Look for creators within your niche or related niches who have a similar audience and propose collaboration ideas that benefit both parties.
Host Live Streams and Q&A Sessions: Live streams provide an interactive platform for direct engagement with your audience. Conduct live Q&A sessions, respond to comments in real-time, and create a sense of exclusivity for your most loyal fans.
Create a Patreon or Membership Program: Offering exclusive perks and content to your most dedicated fans through a Patreon or membership program can generate additional revenue. Provide behind-the-scenes access, early video releases, or exclusive merchandise to incentivize your audience to support you financially.
III. Leveraging Monetization Features
YouTube offers several monetization features that can help content creators earn money from their channels. Understanding and utilizing these features effectively is essential for maximizing your earnings.
Enable Ads: Enabling advertisements on your videos is the most basic way to monetize your channel. To do this, you need to join the YouTube Partner Program, meet the eligibility requirements, and adhere to YouTube's monetization policies.
Sponsorships and Brand Deals: As your channel grows, you may attract sponsorships and brand deals from companies interested in reaching your audience. Collaborating with brands can provide an additional stream of income, but ensure that the partnerships align with your values and resonate with your viewers.
YouTube Premium Revenue: YouTube Premium subscribers, who pay a monthly fee for an ad-free experience, contribute to a pool of revenue that is distributed among content creators based on watch time. Encourage your audience

About Buying a New Home
Tumblr media
Buying a new home is an exciting process. Although the process can be complicated, it can also be a lot of fun. Doing research and asking questions will help you find the perfect home and enjoy the process. Here, http://prestigeprops.com/ you can find  some things to keep in mind when buying a new home:. Be sure to talk to your lender about your specific situation.
A new home is usually more expensive than an older home, but you can negotiate the price. It is also easier to find an agent who is familiar with the neighborhood and has a good reputation. In addition, a new home will not have any surprises like liens or emotional issues. These issues can cause problems when it comes time to close the deal.
When buying a new home, it is important to determine what features are most important to you. For example, if you have children, you may want to buy a home that is close to an elementary school. However, if you don't have children, you may be more interested in the neighborhood's proximity to shopping malls and highways. Other features to consider are the neighborhood, nearby amenities, and the quality of the home's construction.
The buyer's agent should be able to negotiate the best terms for you. A good agent will have a wealth of knowledge about new home construction contracts, and will keep your best interests in mind throughout the process. He or she will also know when a builder is making false claims. A real estate agent will not only help you negotiate the best price, but he or she can also help you negotiate the terms and conditions of the contract. You may need to check out this article to  get more info about this topic.
Before buying a new home, be sure to get pre-approved for a mortgage or refinance. You should also consult a real estate agent to find the best builder for your needs. Do not be afraid to schedule several meetings with different home builders before making a decision. Also, do not be afraid to walk away from a home builder if you're not impressed. Remember that builders want to sell homes, and the best way to do that is to give them the best chance possible. 
When buying a model home, be sure to ask questions. Model homes are not built for utility, and they may not be easy to customize. A model home is typically built for looks, and its designer has prioritized the most beautiful features rather than utility. Therefore, if you want to make changes to the home, you should always have a contingency plan in place.
Getting a full boundary survey is also essential for purchasing a new home. This is to make sure that there are no encroachments on your property. Although many builders will try to convince you to accept their own surveyor's work, it is best to seek another opinion. This way, the mistakes and flaws will be more easily spotted. It's good to click on this site to learn more about the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_estate.
