jjk men on your period

note - wrote this bc im currently on mine and it sucks.

cw - afab!reader, reader has their period, mentions of food/eating, use of the word kill (it's nothing serious), a few suggestive themes in gojo's part. let me know if i miss any.

nanami kento

this man knows all about periods somehow. maybe his mother taught him or maybe he learned elsewhere, but the man knows.

he'll quickly realize when you get it or when you're on it.

he'll notice the changes in your mood and the sudden cravings for food.

he'll be pretty straight up when asking, he'd say something like -

"hon, are you on your period?", "did you get your period, angel?", "is it that time of month, my love?"

omg the pet names im crying

will do anything you ask and get you anything you want/need

(as if he doesn't already)

will also cook for you if you crave anything

cramps? no problem. this man will cuddle you and rub the pain away. will also kiss anywhere that's hurting.

if tummy rubs don't help, he'll warm up the heating pad for you. would also bring you some painkillers.

he would most definitely massage you if you were sore anywhere. lower back pain? he's got you covered.

knows the exact period products you use. he knows the exact brand of pads/tampons and the exact size/absorbency. he knows.

if you ever stain the bed, he would clean it up for you. he would reassure you that it's fine and remind you that bleeding through is normal, then tell you to go get cleaned up. won't ever use these situations against you and would never even dream of embarrassing you with them.

would 100% understand your mood swings.

"darling, why are you crying? did something go wrong?" "there was an ant crawling on me, so i tried to flick it off but when i did i accidentally killed it! i'm such a terrible person!" "oh, i see, i've been there. come here, shh, now, it's alright."

he memorizes how many days you bleed, how many days pass between your period days, what your usual symptoms are and even how heavy your flow is.

on the days where your flow is heavier than usual, he'll become a little worried and aware. you're losing a lot of blood, he doesn't want anything bad happening.

overall nanami would just be the best and most understanding person when it comes to your period. he would be there for you as much as possible and do anything to make you feel a little less miserable.

gojo satoru

at first, this man knows very little about periods.

he knows you'll bleed for a while, but won't understand why.

gojo doesnt bother finding out why until you get your period for the first time with him.

he will do as much research as humanly possible and in 3 hours, a full day at most, he will have every fact memorized.

search history would look like, "what is the reason for periods?" "what are period symptoms?" "what helps you feel better when you're on your period?" "how to make my partner feel comfortable during their period."

you're both luck and unlucky that gojo has a sweet tooth.

if you ask him for dark chocolate or any other sweet, he will either already have it or stock up on it. he'll buy at least 3 packs.

it's a sweet thing, but most of the time, he's the one eating them.

"toru, have you seen the kikifuku?"

gojo, whose cheeks would be full and dusted with powder, with the empty box in his lap, would answer, "no, where did you put it last?"

you'll pout when you find out he ate it all. but not to worry, he'll immediately buy 20 more packs to make up for it.

stocks up on period products too. will probably pull something like, "babe, i'm gonna buy some pads, but i need to know the size of your pussy. care to show me?"

(you'll smack him upside the head for it)

would most definitely use your period as an excuse to cuddle with you. but will also cuddle if you want/need to, how could he turn you down?

when you tell him you have cramps, at first he forgets what to do. he remembers something about a heating pad, but when you take his hand and rub it gently across your lower abdomen and your body relaxes, he realizes this would be a great option too.

would suggest period sex as a joke. he leaves out the part where he's kidding until you grab a pillow and start hitting him with it. it's really funny.

gojo satoru may not know much about this cycle at first, but after you he learns everything. he will help you in every possible way he can think of, though there will be a lot of teasing to come with it. sometimes you'll have to guide him or point out some things to him, but he'll gladly listen and learn, just for you.

enjoyed? give a like, maybe even a follow <3

How to spot a Recast store.

First of all, what is a recast?

A recast is an unlicensed copy of a BJD, a knockoff, a fake. Usually the dolls are bought from a legit company (sometimes not even from the recast company itself, but from supporters), a mold is made (either making a physical mold or a 3D scan) and then the dolls can be mass produced. Usually made in China, but there are exceptions to this.

I'm not going into detail here on why they are a big problem, there are tons of posts about this on the internet. They are bad, they destroy the dollmakers and artists that I love, if you're fine with that, this blog isn't for you.

This blog is for those, that want to buy legit BJDs and don't want to accidentally buy a recast, which is getting harder and harder.

I'll put this under a cut, because this is gonna get a bit lengthy.

What not to do: Google "buy BJD", you'll literally get a ton of Ali Express listings of knockoff BJDs.

You will have to do some research up front, you need to know what company you want to buy. For that, you can go to the BJD hashtag, here, on instagram, sometimes even Twitter, and see if there is something you like. Usually people also tag the company and sculpt, and if not, asking usually gets the reply.

You can also go to one of the many official dealer pages and just click through their dolls to see if you find something that you like.

Stay away from Ali Express and Amazon. Both of these pages are riddled with knockoffs. Idk if there are actually any legit sellers on Ali, if there are, they are few. I think Dollzone sells on Amazon, but seriously, most of the dolls there are fakes.

Ebay and Etsy are also full of recasts, but you can find some legit dolls there.

So, how do you spot a recast store? Let me show you some hints, that are usually a dead giveaway.

A lot of different styles.

This is the header of an etsy shop. While the two on the left might be from the same maker, the other two are very different. (The one on the right is a doll from Fairyland, one of the, if not the most recasted company out there).

Different styles only make sense, if the seller is a distributor/dealer. If it's not a dealer, back out.

Which brings us to the next point:

Generic names.

If a shop were a dealer, they would give you the names of the companies and sculpts.

Example from an official dealer:

See how you can choose the company, size, and then the sculpts? Recast shops don't give you that (there's one exception, that I'll mention later).

They give you "1/4 BJD Doll MSD", "Girl BJD 1/6" or if they wanna go all out "1/3 BJD Doll 60.5CM Full Set BJD Doll With Clothes Resin Toys Best Gift for Girls Hand Made Doll Custom Dolls OOAK Art Doll diy Dolls".

They want to stay as generic as possible, so the newbies that google for "buy bjd" will be redirected to their pages.

If you find generic names, back the hell out of there. I don't know a single company or dealer, that do not tell you what doll exactly you're buying!

Short production time

BJDs take time to make. They are not mass produced dolls, they are casted, sanded, strung and packed by small companies. Even the big names in this hobby usually are just a hand full of people. So it takes time.

Usually between 2-6 months. I don't know any company that actually gives you an estimate below 60 days. Sometimes they ship faster (maybe it's a popular sculpt and they have actually made some for stock, maybe they didn't have a lot of orders during that time, etc), but they don't usually give you a shorter timeline.

If your listing claims the doll will be shipped in 1-2 weeks? Bad news for you, that's usually a recast store.

Price

I hate to say it, but this is an expensive hobby. Dolls usually cost at least $200, oftentimes more. There are some companies that have cheaper prices, but if it goes below $150, I would definitely have a closer look.

Now, the price is usually the last thing that I mention, because before the price tag, you should check for all the things mentioned above. Only if you have a consistent style, specific names, and a timeline that makes sense, then you should check for the price.

I say that, because I know of one Recast store, that tries so hard to look legit, they actually put effort in it.

And that is the BJD Shop.

Look at that. You have company names, you have sculpt names, it looks like a legit dealer (if you ignore that their production time is 1-4 weeks).

But now look at the prices.

Not taking into account that this specific sculpt isn't even available from Fairyland anymore, the price? Is not even $100 (for blank doll).

Now let's look at the actual price by FL:

Rule of thumb: If a price is too good to be true, it very likely is.

So I recommend actually looking for the doll company, if you find a dealer you're not sure is legit, and compare the prices.

A good page for information is Den Of Angels. It's a forum, but a lot of things are easily available without account through Google. For example their dealer list. Is it complete? I don't know, maybe not, but it's a good start.

I hope this is helpful for anyone who isn't sure about a shop they want to buy from.

YEAH

Trying to think of ones I haven’t already talked about A Lot

Murderbot describes Preservation as "a complicated barter system" because it doesn't really have the words or concepts to parse what it's looking at: primarily a gift economy. An economy with a robust central government that does a lot of distribution of primary resources, and a social logic based more on providing than consuming. Farmers and agriculture techs don't produce food to then trade to other people, they produce food that's then re-distributed to everyone as needed by a central organization, and the farmers and ag-techs are given what they need and want by others who, y'know, eat food and express gratitude for Having Food. People don't trade for health care, doctors provide health care to whoever needs it because that's what they've trained and chosen to do and are given what they need by others for their service in providing health care.

Pin-Lee doesn't tend to have a lot to trade but she is a lawyer who keeps things functioning between Preservation and the Corporates, does the legal work that allows Preservation citizens to safely travel, and helps to maintain the contracts that prevent other more opportunistic planets fromtaking advantage of them. She provides this service to the planet and gets what she needs from other people who provide other services. Gurathin helps to maintain the university's database infrastructure, when he's getting coffee he doesn't need to offer to like, make a database for the coffeeshop, it's just understood that he's providing a service to society and partaking in another service to society. Arada and Ratthi are research biologists and their work is only tangentially productive to The Planet but I'm sure there's a public outreach or education aspect that's expected of a lot of researchers - learning without sharing what you're learning is socially unfair, even if their lectures are mostly only attended by students who are told by their teachers to go watch them. But it's kind of understood that by being an adult in the world, you are doing something that contributes to society and to others in some way, and as such are entitled to having your needs met as well.

It's a reciprocity-based logic of actions rather than commodity exchange, and honestly it works because 1) Preservation's population is relatively small, 2) there is a lot of bureaucratic organization work making sure everyone is getting what they need, the government is SO many committees 3) a whole lot of labor is done by machines (non-sentient robots) and bots (sentient robots). The reliance on bot labor is absolutely gonna be something Preservation has to think more about.

Citizens also every once in a while on rotation get called for a kind of labor tax akin to the way jury duty works, where every couple of months you have to put in a day working in the central town food court washing dishes or something. There are also Perks offered for jobs that might be a harder sell for people to do, like premium station housing.

Straight-up money that comes into the station from outsystem trade and travel mostly gets re-invested in supporting Preservation travelers off-planet into societies that do use money (like PresAux's ASR survey), or buying materials or machines that are hard to make locally (like ag-bots, or some spaceship or station parts for repairs).

However where barter comes in is on a more interpersonal one-on-one level, more similar to commissions. You grow a lot of carrots while my grapefruit tree is producing a lot more fruit than I could possibly eat, want to trade? You make ceramics as your primary Work, I'll trade you something if you make me something specific I have in mind. Can you help me fix my roof? I'll get you some good wood when the lumber trees are mature next year. Developing skills for these kind of interpersonal more-specialized trades is a significant motivation, too. And different skills and jobs inevitably attract more status and impressiveness than others. But it's not barter exactly so much as reciprocity, a strong culture of civic duty, and a highly organized government.

#trying to figure out So Hard how a spacefaring multiplanetary no-money barter society works #asks #elexuscal #next one will be more fun I promise

I've Got 12 Random Sex Items You'll Wish You Knew About Sooner

When's the last time you went online sex shopping?

Shellie R. Warren

Oct. 15, 2021 05:42PM EST

You know what? Sometimes, you've got to push a few coins aside and determine in your mind that you're going to invest into your sex life (if you had a sex jar, this would be easier to do, by the way. You can read more about what that is all about here). If you're someone who is totally down to do that, but you don't have a clue where to begin, boy have you come to the right place! Between the joy of being a writer who sometimes gets samples sent to me, the constant research that I do for the couples I work with and having folks shout-out certain items semi-often, I've compiled a list of 12 sex-related items that may seem random AF (a pun is kind of intended there) and, at the same time, can make sex so much better between you and your partner. Where's your pad at? You're definitely gonna wanna take note.

1. Jenga PDF Sexy Couples - Erotic Adult Party Game for Adventurous Couples

Something that's cool about sex games is they can help to bring some laughter and lightness into the atmosphere. While having that kind of goal might seem odd on the onset, it's always important to remember that sex doesn't have to be sober-minded and serious. It's actually supposed to be a lot of fun! So, if you want to bring some extra light-hearted-with-a-touch-of-horny foreplay into your space, this is a PDF that you can purchase and immediately download with instructions, including numbers to put on your Jenga pieces and naughty questions that you can ask your partner. (It's on Etsy. You can cop it here.)

2. Melting Rose Petals

If there's one thing that can hinder a lot of us from going all out when it comes to "setting the stage" for a romantic evening, it's the thought of how much clean up will be required on the back end (sigh). That's a part of the reason why this particular item caught my eye.

If you and yours adore nothing more than soaking in the tub together, rose petals can definitely help to cultivate the right mood. The dope thing about these, in particular, is they slowly melt into your bathwater while leaving a smell of fresh stems. This means no worry about having to scoop petals up when you're done. Excellent.

(Pink Cherry is the site that sells them. Go here to buy a batch.)

3. Earthly Body Edible Massage Candle

What I personally like about this product is it combines the soft glow of a candle with the convenience of a massage oil that you can easily lick off — a win all the way around, y'all! What makes this edible massage candle even better is it's vegan-friendly, has apricot and coconut oil in it (which makes it nourishing for your skin) and it comes in three different flavors — strawberry, watermelon and vanilla. Since it's a 4 oz. candle, it should last you, shoot, at least a couple of rounds, right? Here's hoping. (Adam & Eve has got you on this one. Get it here.)

4. Edible Candy Lingerie Gift Set

There are times when, while I'm perusing the internet, I'll see something that is simply cute. That's how I felt when I noticed what looked like a string bikini set (top and bottom) that's made out of edible candy. Pretty sure there's no need to break this one's possibilities all the way down, right? Anyway, Walmart sells both pieces at a reasonable price. You can check it out here.

5. Sensuva Ice Cube Flavoured Cooling Nipple Balm

For some, nipples are a peak erogenous zone. For others, not so much (check out "So, What If 'Typical Erogenous Zones' Annoy TF Outta You?"). That said, whether you are trying to experience (or experience more) nipple orgasmsor you're with someone who is a "breast person" and you want to learn how to enjoy getting aroused in that area more, something that could help you out is nipple balm. This particular kind will help to harden your nipples while providing a cooling sensation. Plus, the chocolate mint flavor will definitely help to put an even bigger smile on your partner's face. Lovehoney carries it. Get it here.

6. System Jo H2O Flavored Lubricant Collection

The wetter, the better, right (check out "The Wetter, The Better: 10 Creative Ways To Use Lubricant")? Yeah, my sentiments exactly. Flavored lubricant can be a lot of fun, especially when it comes to oral sex, because it provides a way for you to do what you're doing while enjoying a flavor that you really like. Something that I dig about this brand is it's got a ton of different flavors to choose from including Cherry Burst, Cotton Candy, Green Apple, Peachy Lips, Juicy Pineapple and so many others (the company boasts of a whopping 17!). Dear Lady is a site that has a good amount of different ones (go here). Yet if you want to go to the System Jo H2O site to see what other merchants carry this product, you can do that by goinghere.

7. Like A Virgin Tightening Pleasure Gel

So, before we even get into this one, check out an article that I wrote on this topic last spring entitled, "What Science Says About A So-Called 'Loose Vagina'". The bottom line is your vagina doesn't "overstretch" from sex (remember, we can push babies out through there!). So, more than anything, the name of this product is probably more of a marketing ploy than anything else. Still, it gets a shout-out here because it creates a tingling feeling as it helps the muscles within your vaginal walls to slightly contract (in the best way possible), of course. Restoring you to virgin status is pushing it yet providing a nice sensation during intercourse is something that it certainly can do. (Another Adam & Eve gem. Cop it here.)

8. GLYDE Organic Flavored Condoms

There's no way around the fact that the best way to proactively prevent contracting an STD or an unplanned pregnancy is to use a condom (check out "10 Things You Should DEFINITELY Know About Condoms" and "10 Ways To Make Using A Condom So Much More Pleasurable"). Here's the thing, though — a lot of people seem to forget (or is it blatantly ignore?) that you can get a sexually transmitted disease or infection from oral sex too. This is where flavored condoms come in and if you're not in an exclusive relationship where both of you get tested regularly, you should definitely have a box of these in your stash.

What I like about this brand is 1) the condoms are organic; 2) they are ethically made; 3) they're made out of latex and are ultra-thin (which your partner will definitely appreciate) and 4) they come in a variety of flavors. In fact, I recommend getting a variety pack (vanilla, strawberry, licorice, wildberry and blueberry) to see how you like 'em.

GLYDE is the company. The page for the variety pack is located here.

9. High on Love Chocolate Body Paint

Have you always been curious about whether or not weed ultimately makes sex better? If so, check out "7 Proven Ways Weed Makes Sex So Much Better". After doing that, getting yourself some chocolate body paint (the kind that has hemp seed oil in it) just may pique your interest. Some perks about this particular brand of body paint is it's water-based (so it won't jack up your sheets), it smells and tastes like chocolate and, since hemp seeds are full of protein and amino acids that can help to boost your energy levels, at the very least, you'll be in for a night of sensual experimentation and longevity. (EdenFantasyssells it. Get it here.)

10. We-Vibe Melt App Controlled Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator

A couple of years ago, I wrote an article for the platform entitled, "How To Experience Amazing Foreplay (When You and Yours Are Apart)". The main reason why is because statistics show that at least 14-15 million people within the United States alone are currently in a long-distance relationship. If you happen to be one of them, hey, I don't have to tell you how challenging it can be when it comes to "scratching that itch", each and every time the mood hits. A work-around that can at least help things to become more bearable is a clitoral stimulator.

What intrigues me about this one is it comes with 12 different sensations, is waterproof and USB-rechargeable and you and your partner can connect it to an app so that he can help to get you off (yes, literally) no matter where he may be. The main hack to keep in mind is this one works best with some water-based lube. And while it's not the cheapest thing on the block (it currently retails for around $150), can you really put a price tag on consistent sexual pleasure? I mean, relatively-speaking? #wink (Get this at Lovehoney. Find it here.)

11. Wonderful Honey

Something that I kept hearing about the past few months, to the point where I did some investigating with some of the men in my world, is Wonderful Honey. Word on the street is it's a natural way to increase testosterone levels and build stamina and endurance. Each shipment contains 12 packets at 15 grams a pop. Like I said, men are huge fans. Couldn't hurt, right? (Medallion Mercantile is just one site that sells it. Check it out here.)

12. Dripstick

I don't think there's a better way to round up this sex-themed shopping list than to share with you something that I think every woman should own.

It's called a Dripstick and it's currently the only stick on the market that is able to remove excess fluid from your vagina following sexual activity. It's medical grade (a sponge is what you'll be using). The packaging is solid. It's also really easy to use (instructions are here).

So, if wet spots irk you, you and your partner like quickies but you hate the after-romp clean-up or there's some other reason why you've always wondered why something like this doesn't exist — Merry Christmas (LOL). It finally does. Awkward Essentials is the company. Get yourself at least one 20-pack box here. Enjoy!

Join our xoTribe, an exclusive community dedicated to YOU and your stories and all things xoNecole. Be a part of a growing community of women from all over the world who come together to uplift, inspire, and inform each other on all things related to the glow up.

Projects List

Been meaning to write a post on this but in case anyone is curious what I'm up to, I am up to a lot.

I try to make a big list/write up of a list of projects I wanna do on a given year so with 2023 Here's my progress of what I've worked on or am working on:

1.) Art:

So the big main thing that I consider it's own thing is just whatever art project I do, a sketch etc. for this year the main pieces I did Are these two pieces:

As for were most of my art is atm (I am posting stuff here and on twitter but kit's stuff I already posted on Deviant Art):

Fair warning, janky Anatomy. Still working on getting better.

2.) Videos:

So this mostly comprises my YouTube work, now I have too many uploads to post on here. So I will just post a link to my YouTube:

3.) Website:

This one is iffy at the moment, been trying to make a website for my works or just collecting all my works. I tried using Wix, I need to budget for actually buying a domain and etc but it did allow me to do like a design a base version before you publish it. Problem is it only allowed me to upload a certain amount of media and I tried to clear some things and tried to do some basic here's my portfolio thing. Unfortunately I didn't get far with it so it's on the back burner for now.

4.) Production Company:

This is more of a specific dream, I know you can like pay for some LLC or whatnot but honestly I might do that whenever I have an actual thing for it, like If I have a good enough short animated feature that I can submit for a film festival or something.

I have a couple proof of concept logos:

youtube

So We'll see what happens. Basically this isn't something that won't manifest until another project is actually finished, Like a proper project.

5.) Comics-The Buggs:

So Yeah I have a not great but serviceable webcomic (which I kinda have in a bit of a filler arc just cause I already feel sorta drained of ideas for this). Not sure How long I'll continue this, was hoping this be a good weekly webcomic thing to shill out to show I'm still making stuff.

Previously I had with a special comic strips booklet made a 14 strip comic that I posted on webtoons here:

This I posted on 2021 but was something I worked on from like 2018 to then.

6.) Essay-Godzilla and Themes:

So yeah I had some ideas for some essays I thought I would try my hand at. This one I thought would be a good introduction to my views my favourite franchise, Godzilla. Unfortunately this might have been too much of an undertaking. This was inspired by a shitpost I've always been iffy on and was an attempt to set the record straight, talking about individual movies that DO or DO NOT tackle something and the ones that do tackle a theme or message Differs from each other in drastic ways. Tho I might Can it. I dunno. Gonna do a baseline draft going through every era and see if I can produce something out of it or if I should cut my losses and move on to a different essay.

7.) Write Up-Comic Creation:

So I thought with the book I have on various how to do subjects that I would create a resource for myself but I do think I could release what I have to like pastebin or something. Kinda a weird entry in my list of projects.

8.) Books-Godzilla Unmade:

Was inspired by this book here:

Wanted to do a version of this book but with Godzilla films. However I still need to research Legalities. Honestly cause I'm a nobody, this is a book project that won't get to see the light of day until maybe later if i somehow get some book publishing clout. Still I decided to do a private research document that I could string into a first draft and if by some miracle I end up meeting up with some publisher, who knows.

9.) 2D Animation-Foodchain (Cancelled):

So this is another project that's finished but it was apart of this list I'm posting, just to catch everyone here up.

youtube

Basically an attempt at traditional animation I wanted to do before moving on to digital 2D animation. Some issues with the scanning process happened so I had to do things a different way and I got kinda sick of this so this project will remain unfinished.

10.) Stop Motion-Transit:

I just finished a script for this but I am still currently working on a stop motion short film based on a really morbid thought I had while in a skytrain that was getting more and more crowded. Gonna be a lot of work and i don't wanna screw up what otherwise could be a neat creepy short film. Hoping to submit this to horror festivals around Canada. Right now I'm just in the process of storyboarding.

This project is also a replacement for last years Stop Motion project I did as a test short:

youtube

This is not great however, I should do more editing in this but oh well, used a ton of footage from a camera I inherited with footage of my brother learning to drive various construction vehicles so uh there's that cameo. Part of the reason was I also got sick of this project and didn't wanna get more footage be it B roll or have more stop motion segments. The actual stop motion side of things actually happens like at the end of this vid.

11.) Live Action-Dog Eater (Cancelled):

Another project I ended up scrapping mostly because my hand prop which still remains unfinished was so botched, it's practically an iron maiden in glove form and I had the dumbest idea of making my principal actors being my dogs. So I just did this little video instead:

12.) Mods-Half Life:

Another project up in the air, I might can it just cause it seems like doing half Life 2 maps might be easier or at least i don't need to download separate compilers. This too was a replacement of last couple of years project attempt (that I might return to one day) which was Doom Map making:

youtube

For Half Life 1, I toyed with an idea based off a weird dream I had about some space battle happening, and than someone entering one of the damaged ships. It's empty, creepy and there seems to be graffiti everywhere and weird supernatural things seems to be happening throughout its corridors. But again was having a hard time doing anything in Gold Source. Maybe I should give it a second chance, I really just need to download a compiler and watch a video as to where I need to put it folder wise and etc.

13.) Game Engines-????:

This is another odd one. I considered seeing if I can make a simple game engine but that might be another back burner thing especially since I don't code well so uh yeah. Alternatively This entry is just a free space for me to just for a full year grab whatever game engine I bought and downloaded off of steam and actually toy around with it. Not much else to say. Right Now I'm kinda sticking to GameMaker.

14.) Game-Adventure Game-Photo Point And Click Adventure Game:

So yeah kinda a weird idea, inspired by Metropolis Software (The guys who would later break off to make Painkiller and than break off again to make The vanishing of Ethan Carter) which was instead of making original sprites or whatever, construct a point and click adventure game around a bunch of photos I have. More of a test game that I can use to jump off of and do actual Adventure games with.

15.) Multiplayer Game-Fighting Game-Test Demo Fighting Game:

Thought about a stop motion inspired fighting game (which very much is not an original idea, there's a few of those around). Was gonna do a test demo in gamemaker with stick figures before moving on to a second version using toys as stop motion sprites before moving on to an actual game with original models made for it.

And yeah that's a lot of stuff I'm working on. Probably biting of more than I can chew but oh well.

[ad_1] So let's first look at how amazon fba actually works so let's say i want to make some money by selling products on amazon well the first thing i need to do is to find a product that would be actually good to sell on amazon and i'm going to show you Exactly how to do that in the product research phase then once i found my product i'm gonna go and look for a manufacturer a supplier for this specific product who can make that product for me because we're not gonna create the products ourselves once i found a good Manufacturer i'm going to order a specific amount of products from that specific supplier then the supplier is going to create the products they're going to manufacture the products for us and once those products are manufactured we're gonna tell our supplier to send those products into an amazon warehouse called amazon Fulfillment center then once our products arrive in the amazon warehouse we can create a listing for our product on amazon and then people can actually find our product on amazon and go ahead and buy it once they buy our product amazon will take care of the rest they Will ship the product to the customer they will take care of the returns and also of the customer support once our product is listed and it's getting sales on amazon all we need to do is to make sure to continue ordering new products from our supplier tell the supplier to Send them in the warehouses so we don't run out of stock and we can continue selling the products on amazon so fba stands for fulfillment by amazon because once somebody goes to our listing and buys our product amazon is going to be responsible to fulfill that specific Order and ship that product to the customer there's also something called fbm which stands for fulfillment by merchant if you go with the fbm model then once somebody orders your product on amazon you as the seller are going to be responsible for shipping that product to the customer so you're going to be Responsible for the fulfillment now for this video we're going to focus on fba so fulfillment by amazon now let's go over the four main business models how you can sell on amazon the first one is wholesale if you do a wholesaling then you're basically buying a lot of Products in bulk from established brands and you're reselling them on amazon to make a profit the second one is retail arbitrage if you do this business model then you're just going out and find discounted products from retailers and you're listing them on amazon to sell Them for a profit you can also do drop shipping if you're going to be drop shipping you're going to create a listing for a specific product on amazon and then once somebody buys that product you're going to tell your supplier for that product to sell it directly to the Customer and then the fourth business model is private labeling this is going to be the business model that you're going to learn how to do in this specific video so with private labeling what we're basically doing is we're going to go out and look for products that are already selling on amazon and Then we're going to sell the exact same product or a better version of it with our own logo and branding and because we're selling a high quality and branded product we're able to sell it for a very high price point also giving us a very good profit margin and making us a lot Of money here you can see some examples of private label products take for example this head shaver right here this is probably manufactured somewhere in china for like 30 but because this is branded and there's actually a logo on the product they're able to sell it for a hundred and ten Dollars giving them a very high profit margin and they're probably also making a lot of money and it's basically the same thing with these resistance bands or this water bottle now what are some advantages and disadvantages to start an amazon fba business the by far biggest advantage of starting an amazon business Is that you're

going to be able to leverage the brand and infrastructure off amazon amazon is the biggest e-commerce platform on the planet and they already have millions of customers buying from amazon every single day and you're going to be able to access those customers if you put your product on Amazon you'll also be able to take advantage of the infrastructure of amazon meaning you don't need to rent a warehouse and ship the products to the customers yourself amazon is going to do all that for you they're also going to manage a lot of the customer support and Handle their returns and your products are going to get to the customer as quickly as possible with prime shipping now another advantage in terms of this specific business model is that once it's running it can be very passive so once your product is listed and it continually gets clicks in the amazon Search engine then all you need to do is make sure to send more products from your supplier to the amazon warehouses and everything else will basically run on autopilot so it's really kind of a passive business once it's actually running and that's also why amazon fba is a great business Model to start as a side hustle and then once it grows big enough you can do this full time and grow a million dollar brand another great thing about this business model is that you're going to have location independence all you need to run this business is a computer and An internet connection so as you can see there's a lot of advantages of starting an amazon fba business and leveraging the amazon fba platform however you're also going to need to play by amazon's rules if you want to sell on their platform because eventually it is their platform and it's also their customers So this could definitely be considered a disadvantage of selling on amazon that you're basically going to be dependent on this specific platform you're also gonna need to pay fees for every sale that you make directly to amazon and it's also very hard to build a customer list from people who actually buy your Product because amazon really wants to keep all the data for themselves now with all that being said i do think that amazon fba is one of the best business models you can start right now especially if you are a beginner and now let's go over some of the most asked Questions about amazon fba the first one is how much money do i need to start this business and a good range would be two thousand to five thousand dollars as a starting budget because in order to sell on amazon you're gonna need to order a specific amount of units Of your product and sell that to the warehouse before you can make your first sale and you're gonna have to pay that upfront to the supplier also you're gonna have to pay for shipping those products into the amazon warehouse that's why i need a starting budget of two thousand to five thousand dollars Obviously the more the better if you have less than two thousand dollars then it's better to make some more money and start the business the right way once you have enough money how long will it take to make money so usually it takes three to six months to make your first Sale on amazon with your new product reason being is because you're gonna need to take some time to find a good product then you need to find a supplier for that product and once you have found a supplier for a good product to sell that supplier obviously needs some time To manufacture those products once they're manufactured you need to send them to a warehouse which depending on your shipping method can also take like a month and that's why it takes a couple of months to get your first sale on amazon but obviously the more time you spend on Your business in the beginning the quicker you'll be able to get it running how much money can i make with amazon fba so actually there's really no cap of how much money you can make obviously it depends on what product you're selling your profit margin how many products you're selling and how

Big your brand eventually is but as a beginner i would shoot for somewhere in between three thousand and ten thousand dollars per month in profit then can i do this from anywhere yes we already talked about this and is amazon fba already too saturated the answer is no obviously there are Some niches where the saturation is quite high and it's going to be very difficult to get in that market as a beginner however there still are a lot of markets where you can still get in where it's not too saturated and honestly if you have a good listing a High quality product and good branding it's not that difficult to outperform all the other products that are already selling on amazon and that's what you're gonna learn exactly in this video how to find a great product how to brand that product and how to create an amazing Listing where the customers are going to choose your product over all the other ones [ad_2] #Amazon #FBA #Simply #Explained #Minutes For More Interesting Article Visit : https://mycyberbase.com/

SSR Azul Ashengrotto Dorm Uniform Personal Story: Part 1

"So-called attachment"

Part 1 (Part 2) (Part 3)

[Mostro Lounge]

Floyd: Heeey～～ Don't it feel like Mostro Lounge is really empty recently? It's so boring not havin' anyone to squeeze～

Floyd: I'm gonna get all stiff like a barnacle at this rate～

Jade: Why Floyd, there you go sleeping on the tables yet again. You'll be scolded by Azul if he catches you.

Floyd: He ain't here so it's fiiiine… But where is he anyway? It's about time for the lounge to open but he's not here.

Jade: Who knows? Perhaps he is falling into despair due to this café's lack of business…

Azul: Of course not.

Jade: Oh my, speak of the devil. Fufufu, it was only said in jest.

Azul: It’s simply wonderful how the two of you can be so carefree…

Floyd: You got a real scary face on, what's up?

Azul: There is something I wish to show you both. Please follow me.

Jade: Will the Lounge be alright without us?

Azul: We can leave it in the hands of the other staff for today. …This is an emergency situation, after all.

[Beside Mister S's Mystery Shop]

Azul: We've arrived.

Jade: This is… the Mystery Shop?

Floyd: What're we doin' at the school store? Did we come to buy a new board game or something?

Azul: Let us head inside for now. Our main objective is there.

[Mister S's Mystery Shop]

Sam: Aight! I need all you little imps who're looking for my special product to line up nicely.

Sam: Hey, there's no need to panic, it won't sell out at all. I'll take each of you at the register one at a time, so everyone calm down.

Floyd: Ugh. So cramped～

Jade: There's a person squeezed into every corner of this small store… It is quite bustling here today.

Azul: It has not only been today. According to my research, business has been this good for the past week.

Azul: That reason is…

Cater: Ooh～ If it isn't the buddy-buddy Octavinelle trio.

Floyd: Eyy～ It's Hanadai-kun～

Cater: Floyd-kun, there's that usual strangely endearing nickname of yours～ Can I imitate you?

Azul: Hello, Cater-san. Have you come to shop here today as well?

Cater: Of course. You know I gotta get my hands on the current craze ♪

Jade: Craze?

Cater: Yeh! I'm talking about the Mystery Shop's special drink…

Cater: Called the "Mystery Drink"!

Floyd: It's just named as is, lame.

Cater: Don't you think it's mysterious and amazing? I heard it's got a reputation as being totally delish too ♪

Jade: Now that you mention it… Every single person who has been leaving this store is carrying the same transparent cup with a thick straw.

Cater: Yeah, that～ Aren't all the colorful gummies floating in the drink super cute?

Cater: Sure, the taste is super important, but it's visually perfect to put up on Magicam too ♪

Azul: This is the cause of our lack of business in the Mostro Lounge. The Mystery Shop has been stealing our customers.

Jade: I see now. This is what you wished to show us.

Azul: Indeed. I knew that the Mystery Shop had released a new product, but I had not expected it to become this popular…

Azul: We must take action without any more delay.

Floyd: If it's that delish, then I wanna drink some too. Let's take some home～

Jade: Then I shall join you in line. Won't you order one with us, Azul?

Azul: I would prefer to not let anything pass my lips that I don't know the ingredients of…

Azul: However, in order to take the proper countermeasures, it would be necessary to know how it tastes. I will order one.

Floyd: 'Kay.

Azul: Hm? Why are you putting out your hand?

Floyd: We're gettin' this for the lounge, so buy it for us.

Azul: It's always in situations like that that you've quite a cheek on you… Fine. How much is…

Azul: Wait, 600 Madol? For a single drink that should be cheap to make!? I cannot believe this, there should be limits even to making a profit!

Floyd: Most of the stuff we sell at the Mostro Lounge are drinks. Isn't that just the pot callin' the kettle black?

Jade: With the comments I expect to hear from you, this should be quite entertaining.

Part 1 (Part 2) (Part 3)

PART 4 | previously: part 3 | masterlist

pairing: Katsuki Bakugou x fem! reader

ratings/warnings: swearing, mention of violence but there isn’t any

synopsis: When UA’s hot heads, Katsuki Bakugou and you, are forced to put your hatred for each other aside and plan the third year Prom, things end up getting a little heated...

a/n: hi friends!! okay so this part is a little longer but it’s important for what’s to come ;) because i just couldn’t help myself, there’s a little song reference in there, hopefully you catch it,, maybe it’s important *wink wink* anyways, taglist is open so just lmk if you’d like to be added 🖤 enjoy xx

•

Four: it’s what’s on the inside that counts

It’s been over 2 weeks since your fight with Bakugou. The two of you haven’t spoken since, leaving your classmates a bit nervous. You were stubborn and so was he. The only problem was, neither of you really remembered why you were fighting in the first place. You two fought often, that was obvious, but something about this last fight felt different. As if you and Bakugou genuinely wanted to hurt each other. In the past, it was mainly for your own satisfaction just to fight someone. You and Bakugou had disliked each other for so long that you couldn’t even think of a solid reason for why you hated him. You soon came to realize that you barely knew anything about Katsuki Bakugou...and that bothered you.

“LISTEN UP! Prom tickets will be on sale after school today in the common area. You can also buy them at the door but just know they’ll cost more. So I recommend you have your money ready and get in line early because I only have a certain amount for presale. Thank you that’s all!” You announced to your class. “Oh and pass this information onto the other classes please!”

You hopped down from the desk where you were standing and brushed your skirt down.

“Do you need help setting up?” asked Deku. You looked over at Bakugou, who was supposed to be helping you but since the two of you weren’t on speaking terms, that wasn’t really an option.

“Uh sure that’d be great,” you said.

“I’ll lend a hand as well,” chimed in Iida. You laughed.

“Guys all I need help with is moving a table and a few boxes,” you explained.

“We are happy to help!”

You, Deku, and Iida set up the ticket selling table. You placed the poster of the dance in front of the table. Izuku grabbed the box of tickets and looked through them.

“Y/N did you make these?” He asked. Your face got warm.

“Uh yeah, it’s not a big deal though,” you insisted.

“It’s excellent artistic work Y/N! You should be proud!” smiled Iida.

“Yeah it’s super cool!”

“Thanks guys,” you gushed. You sat down at the table and pulled out your notebook and pen.

“Alright! Who wants the honor of buying the first ticket?”

“You should, after all you planned the dance,” said Deku. You smiled.

“I guess you’re right.” You picked up the first ticket, wrote your name next to the #1 spot in your notebook, and put your money in the cash box.

“Okay. Who’s next?”

The line of people never seemed to end. You got in the groove of writing down their name, number, and putting away the money pretty quickly.

“Hey Momo! Uh you’re number 35,” you said to your classmate.

“Thanks, here you go!” She smiled, handing you the money.

“Y/N!!” cheered Mina, “wait is this the theme?” Mina pointed to the design on the tickets.

“Uh yeah it is,” you smiled.

“‘My Emotions Feel Like Explosions When You’re Around’,” read aloud Deku.

“I LOVE IT!! It’s super cute and honestly I would expect nothing less from you and Bakugou!”

Right. Bakugou.

“Uh yeah. I'm excited to see how it turns out once we get all the decorations.”

“Do any of you have dates yet?” asked Denki as he paid.

“Wow Denki is that your only concern?” laughed Jirou.

“I haven’t even thought about that,” said Iida.

“Planning on asking anyone?” You asked aloud.

“I am…” mumbled Deku.

“Wow Izuku wonder who?” said Kirishima sarcastically.

“Who are you gonna ask, Deku?” You asked. No one said anything. You turned around and saw all your friends staring at you.

“What…it was just a question…”

“Wait, you're like genuinely asking?” laughed Denki, “I thought it was obvious.” Deku hit Denki’s arm.

“It’s fine, it will be better if it’s a surprise anyway,” said Deku.

“Do you want someone to ask you, Y/N?” asked Sero, handing you his money. You put the cash in a box.

“I honestly don’t care. I wasn’t even planning on going to Prom before Aizawa forced me to plan it,” you admitted.

“Well we are all glad you’ll be there,” smiled Iida.

Your friends had all gone back to their dorms after a bit. There were still about 20 people in line for tickets and you were exhausted.

“Cafeteria closes soon dumbass,” said someone. You whipped around. You groaned.

“Well Katsuki, I’m kinda busy if you can’t tell,” you huffed.

“Go eat. I’ll finish up here,” he said. Your eyes grew.

“Wait what-”

“Go on, you only have 15 minutes before they close dinner. I've got this,” he insisted. You got up from your chair.

“Do you know what you’re doing?”

“It can’t be that hard if you figured it out.”

You rolled your eyes

“Whatever. Just pick up when you’re done.” You began to walk down to the cafeteria.

Two weeks of not talking to me and that’s all he has to say?

“Grabbing some dinner?” called Iida behind you. You smiled.

“Yeah , Bakugou is finishing up the ticket sale.”

“Nice. I’ll join you.”

“Thanks Iida.”

“Cold soba?” questioned Iida, “You never get your soba cold.” You looked down at your tray of food.

“I guess Todoroki converted me,” you joked. Iida raised a brow.

“Alright Y/N, what is it? We both know you hate cold food,” he said. You picked at your soba.

“I’m fine honestly,” you mumbled.

“This wouldn’t have anything to do with Bakugou, would it?” You whipped your head to look at Iida.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?”

“That’s more like it!” He smiled. You chuckled.

“Well would it?” He asked. You shrugged.

“I guess this whole dance is stressing me out. Bakugou and I haven’t been very productive lately ,” you admitted. Iida sighed.

“Well this might be a stretch but you could try to make peace with him.” You groaned.

“I’m not making peace with that angry pomeranian until he apologizes.”

“Why can’t you just apologize?”

“BECAUSE I-I, I don’t know. My own stupid pride I guess.”

“You two need to overcome your differences eventually. Who knows, you guys might have more in common than you think,” smiled Iida.

“You’re the worst, you know that,” you joked.

“Wait really?”

“Iida…”

After dinner, you laid in your dorm room, staring up at the ceiling. You knew you should get some of the planning done but you also would rather just forget about the stupid dance. After about 10 minutes of contemplating, you headed down to the basement.

As you walked down the stairs, you remembered that Bakugou still had your notebook. You went down anyway, hoping to get some work done on your laptop instead. Much to your surprise, the door was propped open. You took a deep breath and prepared yourself for what could be behind the door.

“Hey Bakugou…” your voice trailed off as you saw that no one else was in the room.

He must’ve left the door open so I wouldn’t ask him for the keys.

You set down your things and sat down on one of the tables. You pulled out your laptop.

“I figured I’d find you here,” A raspy voice said. You looked up to see none other than Katsuki Bakugou, holding your notebook.

“Oh hi. I just thought I’d get some work done,” you explained.

“How’d you get in?”

“Uh you left the door open,” you explained. Bakugou huffed. He took a seat at the same table as you, setting down your notebook.

“Here dumbass.” Bakugou threw something on you and it landed on your head.

“What the-” You grabbed the soft material off of your head. Your eyes grew.

“Katsuki-”

“You said I owed you a new shirt, so here it is,” he said. You looked at the brand new t-shirt, a smile on your face.

“Yeah well I didn’t think you’d actually buy me one…”

“I mean I did rip your other shirt pretty badly. I-uh-I’m sorry about that.” Your eyes widened.

“Did you just say you’re sorry?”

“Yeah and I’m not saying it again.” he huffed.

“Bakugou I’m sorry too,” you said. Bakugou tilted his head.

“What are you sorry for?”

“I guess for everything. Well, maybe not everything because I don’t regret kicking your ass for 3 years one bit but I am sorry for that fight the other day. I almost killed you,” you explained nervously.

“Key word ‘almost’. I guess I almost did too,” he joked. You let out a nervous chuckle.

“Here’s the thing Bakugou, I don’t know anything about you yet I hate you with every ounce of my body. I guess I want to hate you for a reason.”

“What the hell does that mean, nerd?” He questioned. Your face got warm.

“You know how they say, ‘it’s what’s on the inside that counts’? Well,I want to hate you for what’s on the inside,” you laughed. Bakugou raised a brow.

“And what about you? The only thing I know about you is that you’ve got a short temper and your shirts rip easily. I barely know you either…”

He was right. Probably the only person who knew anything remotely deep about you was Iida, and even that was still somewhat surface level. You didn’t pick UA to get too comfortable with your classmates, even if you were friends, since in the real world you would be competing for the number one Hero spot. Maybe that’s why most of them were intimidated by you.

You patted on the top of the table, hinting for Bakugou to sit with you. He groaned and joined you on the table.

“This is stupid,” he mumbled. You rolled your eyes.

“Come on just try. And just to clarify, we are doing this for research purposes only. I’m convinced by the end of this I’ll still want to rip your head off 24/7,” you said. Bakugou nodded.

“Yeah I mean not like that could change.”

“Exactly. Okay so you first. What is it that makes Katsuki Bakugou a horrible pain in my ass?” You smiled sarcastically. Bakugou chuckled quietly.

“What do you want to know, dumbass?”

We are talking about the same person! Omg! Yes that one is absolutely on the path to saesang! At first they were pretty nice but to even go so far as to buy the expensive ass clothes/accessories he wears!? Thats fcking weird, period. Yeah I may like somethings they wear, clothes or accessories wise (Shownu's Capteen Bvlgari set 😍 gorgeous!) But I'm not going to go out and buy the stuff! All while updating lil gremlins on the process/dilemma!

Granted I love Burberry, I have painfully expensice taste and a painfully empty bank account, and if I could afford it I'd have a few pieces in my collection. However I liked Burberry well before I saw any of the guys wearing the brand endorsements, heck I liked it before I even knew about Monsta X!

I actually got some broadcast pcs from them and never again. I am firmly against GOs cause it takes to damn long to get the stuff and has a higher risk of the package getting lost or damaged due to being shipped via individual instead of a comapny. And broadcast pcs? I have another individual I think I'll contact for broadcasts instead from now on.

And like... knowing their job, how tf do they afford that expensive stuff.. all the time!? There's no way unless they are/were independently wealthy beforehand or their family just kinda throws money at them... no normal foreigner in their job position could afford to buy all the stuff they do (I've my research for both study and work in SK for myself as someone who loves the culture and history amd wants a better understanding just to be clear on my interests, its not for my faves).

Which hey cool, that's their business for how they spend their money but parading that around sns is so suspicious and an elitists mentality and just... shitty (no other word for it tbh). And they suck the random 1 or 2 album purchase fans that win fansign/video calls into the lil elite group thing and suddenly that individual gets into the events all the time with their "sponsor" asshat, to borrow your wording.

Also I used the wrong signature with that first ask 😆 but yeah Suni's GIF and Sus anon is the same person 🤣 I contemplate A LOT about fandoms it seems

I’m not surprised we’re taking about the same person, she’s a big name in Twitter mbb i noticed 🙄 she annoys me so much with her victimizing behavior like she’s always like “oh my god someone says I need to tone it down with the fansign stuff how dare they 😭 I deserve the fansign as much as anyone else” omg stahp you’re embarrassing. It’s very interesting how the fans act like stans where if you talk bad about the GO host then we’re gonna drag you like ?????? what does that solve?

I also like Burberry but that’s long before I knew of Mx, but I always thought of Burberry as rich Vermont fashion 😂

I participated in a group order because the website I was ordering from was giving me a hard time to purchase internationally. Another group-ish order I participated in was back when twotuckgom was like 75% off and I managed to get a zizi WAY cheaper than I would anywhere else but it was from one person who did a few orders for friends, so it was different. I’m still never going to do a GO again because I got suspicious over the draw of the fansign happening long before I got the product. I looked at who got into the fansign and I recognized her name as well as her friends. You can’t convince me otherwise. I totally agree that they must be independently wealthy in order to afford buying signed merch and all of these fansign tickets and albums. Not everyone could afford that and it’s ridiculous that only a handful of people could afford to buy in bulk (but then they try to sell their extra albums and it’s so funny how they bump up the price like +++)

Omg what I hate is when they sell their signed albums like three times more than they originally got them for and people still fucking buy it. What I hate even more is when fans get signed albums and they’re like “boooo I didn’t get my bias 😭 I don’t want this album anymore” 🖕🏼

I saw that people were selling the Mx dolls on eBay for like more than twice they were selling for and it’s embarrassing. I will never sell my babies, I really hope doll makers produce more! But not just the Mx dolls but any kpop doll they would sell them for like 40+ bucks but in reality I ordered them for like 28 😬 (shipping wasn’t bad but it still didn’t make it 50+ in total)

#hi sweet sweet anon 🥺#👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼#suni told me some blogs blocked her after she criticized some fans and I’m convinced they’re in on the scam #there is one blog in particular that blocked her and ever since then I don’t look at them the same way cause that’s too suspicious

☕️ Skincare! I'm so interested to hear someone else's opinions!

I love talking skincare and beauty!! I think it’s so important and it’s cliche to say, but the skin really does come before the makeup. For most of my teen years I’ve had pretty severe acne, mostly cystic acne, and I’ve tried so many products over the years and used makeup to cover up, but this year I feel like I’m finally kind of in control. I definitely still have acne, but it’s rarely cystic and is much more hormonal. The main changes I made were to my diet (mainly limiting dairy and oily foods...still have them, but limited and not everyday. Nothing crazy on restricting or going overboard eating too much) and also I’ve worn little to no makeup in quarantine. It’s given me the chance to be home literally everyday so I have been able to really pay attention to my skin, see how products affect me and keep it clean throughout the day (hard to do under a bunch of foundation when working and going to school all day, like in the Before Times).

I really think simply washing my face in the morning and at night (and gently washing after a workout if I get sweaty, or adding moisturizer when I feel I need it...it’s all intuitive tbh) has always been so important. I think acne drying products (spot treatments) only work for me for a limited time and my skin gets used to them really quickly, so I can’t rely on them. The inside-to-out approach worked for me and I wish I’d listened to that advice sooner. It’s amazing what smooth-ish skin does for me after so many years of acne. A lot of that, granted, was also hormonal, but still.

That was a ton of just personal journey omg...so yeah it’s important to find the balance for you and to find a routine that fits your life and skin. Definitely recommend watching some YouTubers *with the same skin type as you* and see what they do! You don’t have to copy, and I recommend reading and watching far and wide, because no two experiences are the same. Also though...beware of scams and if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Skincare is a big fucking business and has gotten even bigger in the past decade. I don’t like that side, but that’s more the “self care”/treat yourself side that just wants you to buy, buy, buy. Be careful not to just do that, because the best skincare is not always gonna break the bank. With research, you can find something to fit your budget and pharmacy products often work well enough as high-end ones. (I personally am a fan of Neutrogena and Mario Badescu’s drying lotion in particular...if you want specific products if your have skin troubles similar to mine I can make a post.)

But yeah...that was a lot of 1:30am rambling and idk if I answered what you wanted at all, but...I do think skincare is super important and to get in the habit from a young age is fantastic. It’s also a good way to stay in tune with yourself and what your body needs (water, healthy foods, sun, whatever—I’m learning as I go and trust me I’m not perfect, many days all I do is just wash twice and call it a day) and a good way to begin and end the day. The industry...lots of bullshit, like any industry tbh. But truly is important imo and seeing results really feels great.

send me ☕️ + [topic] and i’ll tell you my opinion on it!

HALAL OR HARAM? A life experiences that i have due to me being overexcited till i forgot to check the most important thing.

Most of us are well aware with the popularity of Korea, right?

Since 2010 (as far as i can remember. Correct me if im wrong.) Korea are popular with their music, and drama industry. K-pop idol and K-drama and not so long after that, their cosmetic product also roses to fame as well as their fashion.

Then boom! They're one of the country that lead in entertainment industry as well as business, tourism.

Because of this, more and more people visit their country from around the world. Not only because of their entertainment, cosmetic, and fashion industry but their culture also one of the attraction. Not gonna lie, I'm also one of those people that been longing to go to Korea but still didn't have any chance.

Set that aside! We want to talk about several Korean product range from Food to the Cosmetic. Whether they Halal or Not?

This post are made for my fellow Muslims!

Before i start the whole story i need to put a DISCLAIMER!

this post are not for a boycott or writing something againsting other religion or whatsoever. I wrote this out of cautions for Muslims as we cannot use or eat anything that is Haram and Haram is not only based on Pork and Alcohol. It's from the beginning of the product till the end of the product. I am not a professional or a person from certified organizations. This is based on what I've been learning from Guru's (Ustaz and Ustazah.) As well as my parents and some own research.

Firstly. There's a lot of Haram things but i will list some of the common ingredients such as...

Alcohol

Pork

This two are the most common Haram things that even a non-muslim know. As for the other Haram things is from the location where it was processed. If it doesn't contain pork or alcohol. That doesn't mean it's halal. The machine, tools, plate, packaging and location of the product being processed and produce are also one of the most important factor in Halal or Haram. All that mention above need to be clean. Halal food or product can't be produce in the same place with Haram product.

Lemme give you one example.

Can you see any problem here?

On the third pic i zoomed to the nutritional facts section where they also wrote out the ingredients, allergy cautions, where it was made. The ingredients had no problem however they did mention below that

"This product was processed in a facility also processes egg, peanut, crustacean, shellfish, pork, tree nuts. "

See the problem? The developer did mention it which is they did the right thing and i feel so glad they did HOWEVER. Those people who sell online did not post the back of the packet which is contain all the warning and information.

There's so many muslims bought this product without realising it was actually Haram. Honey Butter Chips are Haram (if im not wrong i saw some clarification from Korea Muslims organisations. So please check the info before buy it!)

And by i wrote this i actually accidentally bought it and the picture above are one of the unopened pack. The other pack i already finish eating with my mom and here's the lesson. We should check first since its an import product and most importantly it don't have any (in malaysia) Halal certification from JAKIM.

I feel guilty tho. If I'm the only one who accidentally eat it then i don't mind but my mom also involved. May Allah clean everything for my Mom, im willing to take the responsibility.

Okay back to the topic. So in my opinion the developer did put a warning so buying in store are safer because we can see the warning and we able to avoid buying it but in my cases, i bought it online.

I wish we can spread this so its widely known. I don't want my another muslims involved with this.

I also remember there's an instant toppokki i bought from news store (malaysia) and when i was in the bus, i just feel like want to check the ingredients again since it wrote in Hangul (korean writing but i can read it tho) and i saw there's rice wine in it. When i think about it again when i was looking at the product on the shelves i was like having a flash like a bright flash for a moment infront of my eyes. I remembered that i saw the tag on the shelves its not halal however when i go back to take it from shelves, its not there.

Another time is i bought a chocolate and it turns out there's a gelatin in it. I don't even know anymore but i obviously won't eat it if i saw something unclear about it.

Also there's one time, where a wine bottle liptint become famous for some time.

I don't know much about this as I've never bought it but i read somewhere there's a rumour it contains alcohol in it. I won't say much since i had no solid prove but please be careful and buy at your own risk!

There's more product in our daily lives even shampoo or even things as simple as our clothes. I will save that later if i found more. I wish this will help and it is much appreciated if you give your opinion on this and share this if you think it should be share. Again im not a pro in this field but from my little knowledge i would like to share.

So Halal or Not?😞

Is there really not a perfect 11.5-13.5" Windows tablet choice?!

Hello guys. For the past week i've been researching to find the perfect windows tablet choice for my specific application need. However it seems there isn't even one device that doesn't have some type of throwback. I'm not asking for everything, but it seems it is either hit or miss, even if you take into account overpriced products. Please hear me out and let me know your thoughts.

I am essentially looking for a WINDOWS TABLET which its primary purpose is to be fitted to my car as a secondary "dash" per say so i can use it to interact with my aftermarket motorsports ecu. It will function as a monitoring dash for the most of the time, but can be used to datalog (aka record data) or for direct tuning (so i don't have to bring my laptop everytime i need to make changes to my engine calibration). I wouldn't mind using it at home as well since i will have it, but mostly will work as a travel/trip companion since i have a PC at home. It has to be a WINDOWS tablet as the software that interfaces with the ecu is only windows based.

After thinking and revising my requirements several times after getting disappointed by what is available here is the break down:

Dimensions: Height needs to be around ~205mm +10mm max so the tablet can be secured in the glove box when not in use. Ideally height should be maximized so that the display area is maximized as well. Length larger than 300mm is not a problem but would get annoying to fit to the car since it will extend more towards the passenger side. This effectively limits me to ~11.8-13.3" tablets, so Microsoft Surface Pro can be used as a reference design (since i haven't seen bezel-less windows tablets yet) Display: This is the most important attribute of the tablet. 1080p absolute minimum resolution, 2K ideally, 3K is probably not gonna be noticeable at the usage distance. Here is a screenshot from my 1080p laptop so you can see the ECU software in datalog mode (slightly cropped but so you can get an idea: http://content.invisioncic.com/r260425/monthly_2017_09/fuel_pressure_link.png.bc827c0a96fe120632f1d7c168e66a64.png However let's not forget brightness and contrast. Brightness should be ~400nits or better for a glossy display, and contrast should be considered over color accuracy. Viewing angle in the length span should be at least 150deg but i think it is hard nowadays to find such a bad display panel. Finally a fully laminated panel is recommended. Physical interfaces: I essentially need a single full size USB port so i can connect my ECU to the tablet. After my research i decided to allow for USB-C assuming that i can get a dongle that will allow me to interface without any issues; but it's best not to allow for that route due to possible incompatibility issues (like what happened when usb3.0 was released). Extra USB ports, USB-C that allows charging and data, video output port, headphone jack, m.2 expansion slot, sd card slot are all pluses. Wireless interfaces: Min wifi and bluetooth. 802.11AC and bluetooth v4.2 or better all pluses. CPU/GPU performance: Generally something better than N3450 (tested my brother's CHUWI surbook mini) and more recent will help, GPU performance is irrelevant for the task so the majority of intergrated GPU's will do fine. RAM: 4GB absolute minimum, 8gb ideal Cooling: I prefer passive cooling, but usually the cooling solution used is sh*t. At least in some cases it can be modded (i'm experienced and willing to do) Battery: 4 hours light use with full display brightness as minimum. If charging is performed over USB-C i hope it is not the stupid kind of power->battery->device like in phones and can work like in laptops where the battery is not used when power is supplied to the laptop. This way you don't wear out the battery since the device will be connected to power most of the time it is operated. Storage: 64gb absolute min, ideal min should be 128gb, speed is relative but i think at least m.2 sata interface ssd; NVME huge + Others: Pen support and attachable keyboard are pluses, but i plan on using a good bluetooth keyboard with backlight (required) so it makes them irrelevant if the tablet is good, Thunderbolt 3 is a +, unlocked bios +, kickstand should work on a lap without cutting your pants off and stay in one place, sd card reader + Reliability: From what i read most chinese tablets are pretty bad with both hardware and software issues out of the box. Backcover should be metal to act as heatsink and be stiff enough, weight and thickness is not that important Condition: New or used. I believe some products offer better value when bought used and others because have been discontinued Pricing: My budget is flexible but depending on the features lots of them are overpriced especially bought new. I would say ~500eur for a new tablet with min features required and 1000eur for one with better hardware. Considering i'm building a 7nm PC in a couple of months the market pricing is really unacceptable for most windows tablets. Blame Apple for it, but i'm not a rich consumer neither i am a sheep. Performance to value is what i always look for.

I literally checked every windows tablet and 2-in-1 i believe. Here some potential picks and what i didn't like.

Microsoft Surface Pro (4 - 5 - 6): At first glance it is a good base candidate..but..really Microsoft? It's 2019 and no USB-C? Proprietary connector and overpriced hardware? Questionable reliability? Get the f*ck out of here. Unless you find a good used deal i don't think it would be worth it. Another Apple wannabe. Eve-tech EVE V: This is one tablet that hits all the boxes, kinda, since by now it is almost obsolete in terms of CPU performance..sadly while i'm greek-cypriot i would go with the stereotypical view for greeks because the CEO is a "malakas" and i'm really sorry to all the people that were scammed. On the other hand i believe there is some truth to the Paypal issues he had since my friend had similar issues (because of not much experience) and even I couldn't help him get them fixed as Paypal is run by assholes as well which need a punch to the face (their excuse it is the system and they can't do anything about it - like wtf). I still use it but the time a different payment system reaches similar adoption i would gladly switch. Chuwi Surbook: Slow CPU, screen is not fully laminated, mediocre specs but was good price at some time ago. Maybe the announced "surbook pro" would fair better? Voyo Vbook i5/i7 Plus: Nice screen, fair pricing? Not the most quality build, shitty battery, i7 model throttles? Teclast X6 Pro: A slightly better vbook i5? No full detailed reviews yet, and i wasn't that impressed from the previous X5 review Alldocube Knote 8: Seems good on paper, but no type-A usb ports Jumper EZpad 6: Possibly the only windows tablet in stock with a good value, however i need something with a better and larger display Acer Switch 3/5: Mediocre screens, single type-A port on the right side (since my car is RHD and the ecu is on the left side i would prefer it on the left side), shitty battery performance, a little overpriced Dell XPS 12 9290/Latitude 5290/Latitude 7285: Great displays, powerful, only 5290 has type-A port, mediocre battery life, overpriced but there are good used deals Asus Transformer 3 Pro T303UA/T304UA: Premium specs but discontinued, expensive, only 1 type-A port and it is on the right side (again), T304 is a huge step backwards even though newer (what the heck Asus, are you drunk?) Lenovo ThinkPad X1: Overpriced, no type-A ports, Gen3 is too big and has display coating issues, Gen2 is more suitable due to size and type-a interface but older and screen brightness not that good - all too tall Lenovo MIIX series: new 630 uses an ARM processor so no go (since i can't force the software developpers to re-compile), 720 rates very high in the features i need, 2 usb type-A ports, nice display, etc. 520 is a little newer with weaker hardware but still good for its price HP Pro X2/Envy X2/Elite X2 1012: HP's other offerings like the Elite X2 1013 are too tall for my needs, and while they have good displays and good build quality i am not font of their design decisions. I have a Zbook 17 G5 workstation at work we bought new and not even 6 months passed and the CPU fan now rattles like crazy..here's my 1st day rant about it: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Note-to-HP-Zbook-17-G5-design-engineers-Please-read-and/td-p/6914797 Also they are overpriced like crazy. I wouldn't ever think of buying again from them. Also the power supply is proprietary as some of the internal hardware. F*ck HP Huawei MateBook E: Aside the lack of ports it is a pretty good designed device, display is perfect but slightly smaller than the biggest i can fit - depending on price it might be a good consideration assuming i can run a USB-C dock i can charge within the car Samsung Galaxy Book 12: Similar to the Huawei above, just a little faster but with a worse display, extra usb-C port. Older and more expensive than the Huawei Toshiba Portege X30T and others: Ports are on the keyboard and not on the tablet, won't work for me.

I think i've covered 99% of the options but i may could have missed 1 or 2. To be honest i won't need this tablet for another 3-6months i would guess but at least i've done my research so i will be prepared when the time comes to buy one. What do you think? I know i went a little crazy but i'm that type of person that never regrets his purchasing choices because i don't buy blindly.

Alright so

I've got tonight and tomorrow morning to finish the pencilling, and then the rest of the week to ink this tree (I've got til Friday night at latest)

I was going to make my niece a teddy for xmas, and I still will, but I'll have to make it and post it on after next week

It's gonna be a little floral bunny!

I've got some red and pink fabric, I'm not sure if it's a bit busy, I'll have to see how it comes together - once I have the pattern down, I can find a more appropriate fabric if I need to - I've got plenty of bits and bobs all about

I've done a bit of a doodle - I'm not sure if I trust myself to do so, but if my pattern doesn't work out I can find a real one to take from

I've got a whole bunch of lavender scented rice in my top cupboard I never used for making handwarmers, I could use some of that as to make the base heavy, such it can sit up - I'm not sure if that's the best thing to use, there's probably proper stuff you can buy, right?

Ah, if I use that rice, you couldn't put it through the machine, could you. Hm. I'll have to have a research about it, what else to use. Those beans you get for blind baking? At any rate, I think I'll make a little bag to fill with whatever, and then put the little bag in when I'm stuffing the finished toy

I've never made something like this before - well. I knitted myself an owl once, I'll have to remember what mum gave me to use for that - so it'll be a bit of trial and error, but I hope the end product comes out alright

But, first, family tree time!

30+ Simple to Surprising Suggestions That Won't Cure Celiac Disease

New blog post! One of the very first things my doctor told me after my celiac disease was this: "Right now, there is no celiac disease cure...you can only manage your symptoms by sticking to a strict gluten free diet." And yet, over six years after that moment, I still regularly bump into people who say that they "used" to have celiac disease.

Yeah. The phrase "used to" boggles my mind just as much as it does yours! But thinking about these "past" celiacs (as well as this awesome post from Carb Counting Mama about mythical "cures" for Type 1 Diabetes) got me curious. I found myself asking: what are some of the most common "cures" that are suggested to people with celiac disease like me? And, even better, what are some of the weirdest? So I scoured gluten free Facebook support groups, Reddit and Quora threads, and polled my own Insta followers...and here's what I came up with! Keep in mind...as I wrote above, there is presently NO celiac disease cure (though there are some cures being tested in various research studies). All the celiac disease "cures" are listed below solely for entertainment purposes, as well as in hopes that they will serve as a reminder to take other people's advice - especially about your health! - with a grain of salt.

Let's begin with three of the MOST common incorrect celiac disease "cures":

1. You need to go gluten free to heal the intestinal damage initially caused by celiac disease...but once your antibodies test at a "normal" level, you're cured and can eat whatever you want! Cue the booing audience soundtrack, because this is definitely very false! Yes, you will test negative for celiac disease and not show any intestinal damage after going gluten free, but that's only because you're not eating gluten. As soon as you start, all that damage will come back...and "once again", you will have celiac!

2. Now, let's discuss "cure" number two: keeping or adding a little gluten back into your diet so that your body can slowly become more tolerant of it. This is a practice called oral immunotherapy, and it's becoming a more common treatment for people with food allergies. You can also read here about how injectable immunotherapy may be helpful for people with celiac disease in the (likely far) future. However, it is important to keep in mind that celiac disease is NOT the same thing as a food allergy, and exposing someone with celiac disease to low doses of gluten will not "improve their tolerance" of it. 3. And finally, the infamous, "Oh, I bet you'll grow out of it!" Beep. Wrong answer! When you're diagnosed with celiac disease, you have it for life. But maybe the friends or coworkers talking about how their aunt or cousin magically "healed" their celiac disease credits a different technique.

You know...something a little more alternative-medicine-like.

Here are just a couple of real-life suggestions people have gotten on how to cure their celiac disease:

"Heal your gut." Yes, working on creating a happy gut by eating probiotic-rich foods, avoiding foods that mess with your body, etc. may help you feel better in the long run...but it won't let you just magically go back to eating Papa John's pizza.

Use a detoxing diet protocol or product line...and I'm not gonna name any names, but if you've ever been in a Facebook group related to eating gluten free, you've probably seen at least a few posts talking about the latest miracle pill or juice line.

Do a parasite cleanse.

Clear up the yeast infection that caused celiac disease in the first place. Now, there are studies linking yeast infections or fungal infections and celiac disease, and some even suggest yeast overgrowth could be the trigger to celiac disease or the reason why some people with celiac disease don't feel 100% even after going gluten free. But the only site I found saying clearing up a yeast infection "fixed" someone with celiac was selling a yeast cleanse product...and repeatedly used "celiac" and "gluten intolerance" to mean the same thing. Sooo...do with that what you will.

Try Chinese acupuncture to "reset" your immune system. People in the comments did report their seasonal allergies had improved via acupuncture...but from what I've seen, no celiacs have yet been cured via needles.

And now, drum roll please....we get to the food. Currently, eating gluten free is the only science-backed treatment for celiac disease...but that doesn't keep other people from suggesting different or even more restrictive diets.

Dietary Choices That Can "Cure" Celiac Disease:

Eating gluten from Europe, since its different processing protocols or ingredients make it "safe" for people with celiac disease. Unfortunately, wheat is wheat...and all wheat, gluten and barley are dangerous for people with celiac.

That you actually just need to avoid pesticides covering food, not the food itself. I'm pretty sure pesticide-free wheat will still hurt me. And so far, one of the only studies linking pesticides with celiac disease (in a causal relationship) was later said to have made conclusions "not supported by the available scientific evidence."

Only eating organic fruits and veggies and free-range meats. Which is basically just one form of a gluten free diet, which doesn't "cure" celiac disease but does treat the symptoms.

Guzzling bone broth.

Drinking celery juice on the daily.

Eating allll the bananas. At least this celiac disease cure has history, considering that doctors first treated people with celiac disease by prescribing a banana-only diet.

Eating a plant-based diet. You can certainly eat a plant-based and gluten free diet, and you may even find eating plant-based makes you feel healthier overall...but it won't let you eat gluten again if you have celiac disease.

Avoiding GMOs.

Only eating whole wheat versus refined flours. Because whole wheat is definitely what someone who can't tolerate gluten or wheat needs to heal? Yeah, I'm lost on this one.

This is when my research really started getting fun (in a twisted sort of way, I suppose). Because the more I searched, the more weeeeird celiac disease "cures" I discovered.

We'll start off pretty tame with just three "healthy living" hacks that are often suggested to pretty much anyone with a chronic illness.

Doing yoga. I can confirm that doing hot yoga regularly will not sweat out your inability to eat gluten.

Juicing. Unfortunately, I don't believe fruits and veggies can change our genes...

Drinking hot water every morning. Apparently, this is what everyone in Cambodia suggested one celiac traveler should try...

And then there are the countless things you can buy to "fix" your digestion, your mood and, of course, your autoimmune disease. Just to name a few examples, here are some marketable celiac disease "cures" many celiacs recall being pitched:

Essential oils...because what CAN'T essential oils do these days?!?

Probiotics. Taking probiotics has definitely transformed my gut health for the better, but there is a major limit to their "healing" powers.

Chinese medicine. Again...these cure everything, right?

Digestive enzymes. Possibly helpful when at risk for cross-contamination while eating out or if you have gluten intolerance. Not helpful for de-activating your celiac gene.

Activated charcoal. Sammmme as above.

And finally, the grand finale: a bunch of celiac disease cure suggestions that I saw on my computer screen and couldn't help but think:

"This is too weird to make up."

Get pregnant and your body will "magically" fix its celiac disease. Who knew we all just needed a bun in the oven to suddenly eat wheat?

Prayer. I know this is a touchy subject, and I don't include this "cure" in this grouping as an intentional attack on anyone who believes in the power of prayer. I agree that miracles can happen...but that it's also irresponsible to suggest that people with celiac disease can or should just pray about being able to eat gluten and still put their body in harm's way...

Meditating regularly and reducing stress. Definitely beneficial in helping you cope with the stress of having an autoimmune disease. But that's about it.

Exorcism?!? Yeah...I'll just leave that one here. (And note that the person who shared this story considers the wannabe celiac "exorcist" an ex-friend. Not surprising, I'd say!).

Thinking positively.

Communion wafers that are made with gluten. As the commenter put it, "I know God loves me, but God's gluten wafer definitely doesn't."

Going to a psychologist or therapist. Celiac disease CAN have a psychological impact on the people who have it, but it's not rooted in our minds.

Waving vials of wheat near your body to "desensitize" it to gluten. A mom heard this tip from her daughter's doctor. Safe to say, they soon found a new practitioner to visit.

What I Hope You Take Away From This Post

At the end of the day, I would be ecstatic if there was a celiac disease cure...not necessarily even for me to use, but as a great option for my children, should they inherit my celiac disease.

Right now, though, there is no cure for celiac disease - just eating gluten free to treat celiac's symptoms.

I know that fact can be hard to accept, especially if you're newly diagnosed or struggling with celiac-related issues right now.

But also know this: over six years after my celiac diagnosis, I can honestly say that I'm living pretty dang happily while eating gluten free. And you can too.

So if friends or coworkers do suggest a less-than-scientific way to magically "fix" your celiac disease, I hope you can laugh off their suggestions and be grateful for everything you still can do, even while living with celiac disease.

Has someone ever told you they "cured" their celiac disease or know someone who did? I'd love to hear your stories in the comments! via Blogger https://ift.tt/2HSKFOk
