#cons of letting a show take over 60% of your brain
Text
I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to new characters I have the same attitude as a poorly socialized dog. I swear every time new content comes around and we get the news of new characters my instant reaction is to just. Dislike them. Hope they have little to no importance in the plot. Even when the design looks nice and the characters seem interesting. They're taking screen time away from my faves and my heart tells me to Bite

Bud I’m sorry to swing into your inbox uninvited like this but my soul is having an OOTS renaissance thanks to your content in the tag and did you say Leverage AU
haha holy SHIT this got Long. but yes. i’ve been. Thinking. (also literally Never feel like you have to apologize for sending me messages. i was Hoping someone would ask me about this. now i have an Excuse to share EVERYTHING ive written abt it :3)
Obviously, Roy is the leader/brains of the outfit. He grew up having some Strong Opinions abt what’s Legal versus what’s Right due to tragic backstory involving the death of his little brother which was definitely SOMEONE’S fault for negligence but since there technically wasn’t any illegal behavior, there were no consequences for it. Also he’s still angry at his dad bc he thinks his dad is also partly culpable (and also also just a dick). He’s the Moral Backbone of the team (alongside Durkon, more on that later) in basically the same way Nate was in og Leverage. He’s actually not the best at figuring out what people want (that’s Haley and, shockingly, occasionally Elan), but once he has that info, he is the absolute best at figuring out the ideal plan of attack to use in any given case.
Haley is still a thief. I mean she maps to Parker almost PERFECTLY. Her dad was a thief & a conman, her mom wasn’t but knew about it and mostly accepted it, but she died tragically in a mugging gone wrong or smth, which made Ian crank the paranoia WAY up and taught Haley to do the same in the name of “safety”. Let’s keep the “Ian is in Trouble and Haley needs money, Fast” which is why she signs on to the first job in the first place. She’s less acrobatic than Parker, tending towards finding (or making) weak spots in security, but she can still make a tumble check when she needs to.
Elan is the grifter who is somehow an Idiot but also not???? It baffles everyone. When he’s playing a part for a con, he’s FLAWLESS, but then the rest of the time he’s just. No Thoughts Head Empty. He probably gets lured in initially because he’s decided to try his hand at being part of a full team, rather than the two-man cons he’s been running that invariably end w his partner conning him as well and stealing half of his take. Also he likes the idea of being Crime Friends. He’s that tweet where it’s like, Roy: “after the heist is over, we split up and never communicate again” / Elan: [about to unveil his Crime Buddies Forever Friendship Quilt Puppets]: “never?”
Vaarsuvius is the hacker/gadget person. They have a Vaguely Snobby Yet Unidentifiable accent, dyed(?) purple hair (nobody has ever seen their roots) and nobody knows who they “really” are or where they came from, but they’re good at what they do so everyone just accepts the mystery. They probably got suckered into the team by their initial employer (who I’ll get to Eventually, lol) framing it as a challenge to their intellect, like, “oh, I see, you’re not smart enough to make this team work for you...” to which they were like Fucking Watch Me and also melted his computer. Anyways. They are joined (digitally) by their Intrepid Friend And Co-Conspirator (his words, not theirs), a fellow hacker known only as Blackwing, or, on certain forums, Blackwing_Bird. (In the first season, V only occasionally references him when saying they’re “calling in extra help” or smth for a particularly complex hack job. He starts showing up a little more in s2 and eventually by the start of s4 is a regular & established presence, but only appears as actions in a computer interface or output.) Elan is convinced he’s an AI, Belkar doesn’t think he actually exists, Haley pretends she doesn’t think he exists, and Durkon and Roy try not to think about it too hard, as long as B and V still get the job done.
Belkar is the hitter. He is on the team bc their initial employer got him out of jail for it. He doesn’t have a tragic backstory, he just likes doing violent crimes. As the series progresses, he grows some empathy & stuff, but really only for people who actually deserve it. Assholes still get decked. It’s all very touching. (Also he has dwarfism caused by achondroplasia. It doesn’t actually bother him and is useful in fights bc his opponents frequently have no fucking clue how to approach him, but he likes Pretending to take offense at stupid things just to see how far he can go with it.)
Aaaand last but not least, Durkon is the least involved member of the team. He’s actually a career criminal and Roy’s mentor, and wasn’t a member of the initial team that [redacted, I’ll tell you later, PROMISE] put together for a couple of reasons, the main one being that he’s Officially retired in order to spend more time with his family, which consists of his mom, his friend (not girlfriend) Hilgya, baby Kudzu, and a truly stunning number of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Roy frequently calls or visits him for advice and he Occasionally shows up to help out on local jobs, but generally he avoids doing crime if he can (as part of a deal with Hilgya, who is also a career criminal; basically, they’ve both cut back on the crime in order to provide a more stable home environment for Kudzu. But sometimes, you gotta do a little crime, and in those cases, Sigdi enjoys spending time w her grandson.)
NOW. THE BIG REVEAL YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR. Who got the team together in the first place?!
The answer: Lord Shojo (or whatever Normal Person Name you want to assign him). Now this is where it gets tricky: he had them do a thing that they thought was good, THEN they thought it was BAD, but then when they confronted him he revealed that it Appearing to be bad was actually a test of character and would they consider working as basically internal investigators for him? But then he had a heart attack, so, rip. But THEN it turned out that he’d left them a bunch of money anyway and they were all feeling kind of Inspired so they formed the Order of the Stick, LLC (which, no, i am not coming up with a new name, actually, because I just don’t care. someone else can come up w a justification for that name, tho, i’m sure it’s possible). Also Miko was there and was unhappy abt their actions, and also their general existence.
Moving on. Villains!
Redcloak is the Sterling replacement, because that DEEPLY amuses me.
Xykon is a season-long main villain, probably one that Redcloak finds himself working for but then “teams up with” (read: blackmails) the Order to bring him down bc even Redcloak finds Xykon distasteful. That’s season 3, let’s say.
Tarquin is another season villain, say season 2. Nale probably shows up pretty early in s1, actually, as another recurring antagonist like Sterling but uh. Less good at it. Anyways the s2 final 3 eps deal with them (accidentally) discovering that Tarquin runs some Evil Empire Company, then trying to outplay him and take him down. Idk if Nale still dies in this version tbh.
Tsukiko is a one-off s1 villain who returns briefly in s4 alongside Miko, who has gone well and truly off the rails.
Season 1 finale has to do w Roy finally getting Vengeance for his little brother.
The vampire squad is the s4 finale villain who do smth terrible to Durkon and then get the Mother Of All Revenge served up to them by the Order.
I envision the show as being 5 seasons (like og Leverage) but I’m not going to sketch out s5 because I think it should be based off whatever happens in the current story arc, possibly involving some legacy of the OotSquiggle.
Other stuff!
The Order of the Squiggle is a legendary criminal team from the 60s who stole a BUNCH of famous shit & then proceeded to legendarily implode. This has no bearing on the plot I’ve sketched out, I just think it’s fun.
The Sapphire Guard members should probably be reworked as FBI. I don’t care about most of them but I do think that Lien and O-Chul could be like, FBI agents who Choose to look the other way while the Order does their very-much-not-legal-but-still-fair Justice Crime, and maybe even help them out on occasion.
So, the Final season-by-season outline, based on everything I’ve written so far:
s1 e1: getting the team together, doing a con for Shojo, then at the end he dies and the gang is like “dang what now?" and intend to split up except then they Don’t.
mid-s1: Nale shows up and tries to trick the Order, but then gets beat like a drum.
late s1: Tsukiko is an underling of the Villain Of The Week, winds up in police custody. But She’ll Be Back.
s1 finale: Roy’s Vengeance: The Vengeaning. also we meet Redcloak as an antagonist.
s2 e1: the truth abt Haley’s father comes out
early s2: The Two Live Crews Job but it’s the Order vs the Linear Guild and the Linear Guild ARE all bad guys.
mid-s2: Redcloak returns. ugh.
late s2: the sapphire guard FBI makes its first appearance, hello O-Chul and Lien.
s2 pre-finale: once again they’re in conflict w Nale over smth, he spends the whole episodes making Cryptic Remarks, they basically beat him (like a drum!) but then the stinger at the end is that Tarquin reveals himself and Elan is like “Dad?!”, roll credits.
s2 finale, part 1: Elan is hanging out w Tarquin bc he’s DEEP in Denial, the Rest of the team tries to take Tarquin down, but it doesn’t work.
s2 finale, part 2: Elan finally gets a clue and they manage to beat Tarquin. still haven’t decided if Nale dies or not, but I’m leaning towards yes. also they rescue Haley’s dad.
s3 e1: fuck dude idk.
early s3: Redcloak shows up, AGAIN, everyone groans. he has blackmail on them, he wants them to take Xykon down.
mid s3: The Rashomon Job but it’s about stealing the Talisman of Dorukan and it turns out that Nale was there too (“oh!” Elan says. “I was wondering why I looked so weird in all those mirrors! But it wasn’t my reflection, it was Nale’s!” “Sweetie, that wasn’t Nale’s reflection,” says Haley. “Huh,” says Elan, “so the mirrors were broken?”, cue eye rolling from everyone else.), and the Successful thief was Hilgya, who’d nabbed it from the owner before it even went on display.
s3 finale: they beat Xykon, actually factually, because he deserves to get his ass Thoroughly kicked, even if only in AU form. Lien and O-Chul are there, so are some other less helpful FBI people. There’s a bit where O-Chul Exact Wordses his way out of telling his superiors about the Order’s less legal activities without technically lying. King shit.
s4 e1: doesn’t really matter. maybe smth to do w some legacy of Tarquin’s company to set up the drama w Malack & Durkon later.
early s4: Durkon gets SENT TO PRISON. Malack approaches the Order abt this because sure they have Different Ethics but they’re still Friends. (Roy is surprised and a little hurt that he’s never heard of Malack, but he ignores that in favor of Let’s Get Whatever Fuckers Did This To Our Friend.)
immediately after that: Miko and Tsukiko return as a Team, preventing the Order from working on the Durkon situation
mid s4: Redcloak makes another unexpected & unwelcome appearance but he’s maybe a little less of a dick? the Order collaborates with Malack & his Crime Buddies (hello, Vector Legion) to pull one over on him tho, because “less of a dick” does not mean “a pleasant or decent person”, and also he was mean abt Durkon being in jail, so he totally deserved it. he still gets whatever he wanted tho, just takes a blow to his pride. also prevents the Order from helping Durkon. they’re having a LOT of setbacks wonder why that could be, not to make sure the season fills its whole length or anything, no sirree
s4 finale: something something taking down the organization, headed by Hel (yes that’s her real name), which framed Durkon for their Big Crime. Durkon goes free and Extra Firmly retires, For Good, He Swears, but says he “met someone new” who might be an asset.
s5 e1: minrah joins the team! and the episode is set in like, somewhere really snowy. that’s all i got.
the rest of s5: don’t know, don’t care, it’s open-ended until the comic finishes up.

I address Hititor’s DM brain and ask: in the hypothetical event that Caleb *did* somehow end up last standing against Trent, would he in your opinion consider popping the glowstick on Allura’s staff? And if he did, do you think it’d be enough? I’m willing to bet loose change Trent isn’t a normal archmage stat block (see: Gelidon and her five billion HP) and I really want to know how Matt’d handle a PC and their nemesis getting nuked like that. Thoughts?
Okay it took me a solid 30 seconds to figure out what “hititor” was so I should probably put a name people can call me in my bio, huh (for those wondering I’ve usually gone by my first initial of M on the internet, so use that if you need to address me by a name. I’ll put it in the bio).
Anyway: to the first part, if he was truly last standing against Trent - like, everyone else dead or unconscious and unlikely to make it - I think he might, but if he had allies up I don’t know if he would. It’s a pretty extreme, and Caleb has slowly found a lot to live for as the scene with Luc showed this episode. Even when he brought up turning himself over to Trent it was because he knew he would probably not be killed, and it would buy the others time. (On the other hand he might if he wasn’t last standing on the grounds that Caduceus and Jester could bring him back if it got him). And his motivation has never really been revenge, although I think the line between “making it impossible to do what was done to me” and revenge can get blurry when it comes to like, what Caleb would probably like to do with Vergessen. Basically: I think it’s unlikely he would take that option unless it really was the only option with a chance of taking out Trent.
But anyway I’m more interested in what happens if he does.
For the sake of this argument we’re going to use a maximum-power staff (full up with 20 charges) and assume Trent is within 10 feet and is a L20 wizard.
In this scenario, Trent would take 160 damage (8 x 20). If his constitution score is maxed out and his health was a 6 on a d6 every time this wouldn’t be enough (220 HP total) but given he’s a jaundiced old guy if we go for a realistically built but robust wizard, with the default/average rounded up 4 HP/level and a con of +3, he would be at 80+60=140 which would knock him out at full health if he fails the dex save. Because I am assuming Trent has high charisma for all the lying, it’s unlikely both his con and dex are amazing. Either way, it’s quite literally a roll of the dice if it takes him or not, but assuming the rest of the Nein went down fighting and Trent doesn’t have tons of healing potions on him I think there’s a decent chance.
I should add: I think it’s possible Trent’s stats are a little jacked up but also a L20 wizard with a smart build is pretty bad as is. Were I to create this as a monster stat block, with the understanding that I’ve never DM-ed for high level players (yet) I’d probably keep HP at a reasonable level and just pile on things like legendary resistances and extra spell abilities, since I still want to make an evil wizard feel like the classic glass cannon. So he’d still have 5 cantrips, the whopping 22 spell slots of a 20th level caster plus one free 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level spell from Spell Mastery/Signature Spells, all class abilities, and some feats that made him more impressive (metamagic adept seems very possible; give him some residuum and dunamantic enhanced abilities to boot and/or throw in some extra wizard school high-level features - eg, if he’s an enchanter, also give him an abjurer’s spell resistance and the ability to overchannel like an evoker).
As for how Matt would handle it - if it were like, a TPK scenario as described I’d at least let Caleb know it worked if Trent was nuked, as his final vision before death (also: in this scenario...Caleb is killed outright if he fails the 50% save. He’d take 320 damage.) If not then I might not say that Caleb saw it, but I’d narrate it for the other characters anyway so like, the player would know.
I have to leave to go to the TAZ Honey Heist virtual show now but I may do some probability stuff tomorrow to see the chances of Caleb surviving and Trent dying, for funsies.
In conclusion: probably not the greatest choice, but very cinematic if it happens.

2020 / 24
There are only 2 things I can do on an airplane – dose up on sleeping meds and pass out, or order one too many cappuccinos, keep my exhausted brain awake, and will it to talk to paper. The flight from JFK was in the afternoon and in the chaos of leaving for the airport early in the morning, I forgot to pack my pills.
Two cappuccinos in, my hands were shaking and begging to be typing out the Mrs. Maisel speed monologue that constantly runs in my head. Even though there is a month left in this year, I decided to do my annual New Years Eve post. Over the last 3 days, I’ve been drilling it down to go from gibberish to slightly readable.
Here it is.
Like the rest of the world, in January, I was blissfully unaware of the shitstorm that would follow. I got into several colleges on the East Coast for a Master’s in Finance degree. Every day, I would race down the stairs with my laptop and show my parents: another admit, another scholarship! On the surface, I was making pro and con lists for each one. Deep down, my heart had already picked Fordham in New York. It was New York. Nothing else would cut it.
The day after I turned 24 in January, I also met my (now ex) boyfriend on the internet. Completely by accident, he saw my profile because a mutual friend followed my writing. Two days later, she texted me and said he would like to talk to me. Did I want to talk to some boy studying in Paris? I was single and bored and already had my year laid out for me, so why wouldn’t I?
It moved quickly. Three months later, we had been speaking every day and were exclusive. We had not hung out in person. It was stupid, but I had never come across anybody who liked me as much as he did. In every relationship I had been in before this, I always knew I was more emotionally involved. I fell in love with his devotion to me – he would stay home (who stays home in Paris!) and choose to spend virtual time with me over going to clubs with his friends. I watched myself become the epicenter of his life and thought – this is how much I’ve always wanted to mean to somebody.
In March when the pandemic hit and India shut down, my father sent a car to pick me up from my internship in Bombay, where I had moved two weeks ago. I didn’t pack so much as my toothbrush – the driver brought me home and I had no idea that it would be months before I’d get to leave again.
Morales stayed high in the beginning – we thought it would end in 21 days, then 2 months, then 5. It has taken over the whole year now, and despite us gridlocking it into “2020,” we all know the first half of 2021 will also be filled with masks and sanitizers and not hugging your friends. I wonder if I will ever settle into somebody’s arms without cringing again.
March melted into April, that melted into one long drawl until suddenly it was August and college was beginning the following week. I found myself refreshing the US consulate’s website absent mindedly one afternoon, and all appointments that had been suspended suddenly showed you a tiny little bar that read “reschedule.” I screamed and clicked.
I had thought I would be spending the year stuck at home, awake and attending classes at odd hours. While my classmates went to happy hours in dive bars in Manhattan, I would be in my bedroom, still chained to my parents’ curfews and ultimatums. But then suddenly, I was standing before a US immigration officer in Bombay, and he was telling me I had been granted my student visa.
All that was left to do was book a flight to New York, and break the news to my boyfriend, who was on his way to my abandoned apartment at this very moment for our first date, 7 months after we first began speaking. He had come home in March when France went into lockdown, and it was starting to feel like a throuple with long distance, the third and very present member in our relationship.
I packed up the belongings I had left there, and we sat across from each other on the double bed. I kissed him first. There were roadblocks, and our personalities and views clashed on so many important things, but I loved him. Two days later, I said: I have to leave for New York in 3 weeks. He didn’t take it well.
In September, I landed at JFK. When the wheels of the plane made contact with the runway, I was smiling behind a mask I’d had on for 16 hours. On the Air Train to Manhattan, I felt a sense of happiness wash over me and toyed with the possibility that maybe I wouldn’t mind if it was just me in this city. I would be okay alone.
I found an apartment, a roommate, signed a lease in a beautiful building in Hell’s Kitchen, walking distance from college. I met lots of people from my class and instantly picked out the ones I wanted to become good friends with. I dove straight into academics and extra curriculars at college – after 5 months of nothing happening, life was suddenly exciting again.
When New York lit up every night, it felt like anything was possible. I started eating better and walking a lot. My hair grew out from the bad haircut I’d gotten the year before. Coffee was no longer just coffee, it was finding a new café and walking through Central Park. Drinks were not just drinks, they were about accidentally stumbling onto a secret bar in the East Village, finding favorite spots in the neighborhood, letting a cute waiter recommend a cocktail to me even though I was perfectly capable of picking one myself.
The boyfriend and I were fighting more than usual. I was getting tired of it. We had discussed a life together, but it was slowly and surely becoming clear to me that I would resent myself for making big compromises for a person who still had a lot of growing up left to do. As New York got cold, I did too – without trying. When one particular argument got really bad, I asked for a break from the relationship. He didn’t like it.
A week later, I woke up to a girl sending me screenshots on Instagram of her conversation with him (pre me asking for a break) on a dating app, and without getting into details, I will tell you it was not a conversation anybody with a girlfriend should have been having. I should have been broken in half on the inside, but now I could finally say, without feeling guilty – this relationship was not working, nobody was happy, and you were so unhappy you thought talking to other women was okay. I spent all of one day drinking with a friend in Central Park and sobbing myself to sleep.
But mostly, what hit me after the initial shock had died down was a tsunami of relief. I felt lighter, freer. I try not to think too hard about the trauma that comes from finding out that the person you think is so devoted to you, and definitely loves you more than you love them (or so you think) is being unfaithful, because it hurts a part of me that is already very bruised from all the things that have happened to me before. So I don’t.
But it was New York. I was young and smart and there was a wine shop down the block that sold $14 bottles of Moscato. I didn’t need much else to know I would be okay. At 20, I would have jumped right back into going on dates every other night to distract myself from what had happened, then never called any of those men back. At 24, this emotional speed bump resulted in a lot of quiet introspection in my bedroom. I spent a lot of time alone, on the phone with friends, and walking around the city. I had learnt to like my own company enough to not fill a suddenly empty void with anybody else’s, even though there have been several tempting offers in this past month, and sometimes, I have succumbed to them, but mostly I am very strict with who deserves my company.
It was nice to spend that second month in New York by myself. I owed absolutely nobody a single minute of my time. No one asked me questions, or called me and expected me to share my day unless I wanted to, and once I had worked hard and cleared out the things from my to do list for the day, time stretched out before me and I had the autonomy to decide the smallest thing down to who to meet, what to eat, how much to sleep.
I didn’t let my academics and ambition suffer – no matter what happens, I never do and I never will. The grades stay up – it’s built into my system. I am back home now and just 2 days in, I find myself wishing I hadn’t left New York. I was starting to build a life I liked there, and the only price I had to pay for it was a 4 pm sunset. It would have been slightly lonely, but I like the time I spend by myself. I worked hard to become like that.
This month, I will see my friends here at home. I’ve missed them. I can’t believe I grew up in this city and I already feel so alienated from it just from 60 days of living away. Is that how badly I wanted to leave?
I might be dramatic and fly back on my 25th birthday, so that I can say, “I was on a flight,” and ignore the slowly expanding bubble of dread that comes with turning that old. I like the ambiguity of airports and I’m the sort of inherently sad person who would love to be alone and unreachable on my birthday.
I acknowledge that my problems this year have been so small in the face of those of us who have lost family members, contracted the virus, had to give up internships or had jobs taken from us, been torn away from family, or had to make it through this alone.  
I feel almost guilty that good things have happened to me in a year that has predominantly been bad for almost everyone else. I feel apologetic, even though from 2017 to 2019, I was treated like life’s sick joke so I should deserve these good things that I worked hard for.
I definitely feel myself growing up, though. Emotionally I find I have a clearer idea of what I want from relationships and friendships, and I don’t second guess cutting off anybody who doesn’t serve that purpose or messes with my mental peace. I still have days when self-doubt comes over for a cup of tea, leaves me weak in the knees, but most days are free of it. I am also moving out of that chameleon phase where I mirrored what I thought a room full of new people would want from me, and I am unapologetically myself, irrespective of who’s watching.
Last year I remember wishing for something stupid, like “I wish there was somebody to kiss on New Years Eve,” because I’ve never had anybody to smack lips with when it’s midnight. This year, I don’t care. I’ll kiss myself in the mirror, for all I care. I love her. She’s my homie.
It’s been a weird year. I know who I was in 2019, and I remember wondering if I was proud of her. Things were still in purgatory then. But I steered my life and brought it back on track. This year, I am proud of myself without doubting it.
There’s no measuring scale for personal growth, but if there was, I feel at least a couple of inches taller in 2020.

So i had my first taste of Red Dead Online yesterday. Coming in knowing the experiences other people had with it and having already experienced GTAV Online, I got in with very low expectations. A watered down, mere shell of Single Player experience, A soulless husk with content hidden behind countless hours of grinding or optional paywall. After roughly 12-15 hours of gameplay with huge reservations towards the game, i have discovered that it actually has a potential greater than GTAV  in which i sank hundreds of hours of my life previously, just so i could say that i have self sustaining economy at least in a virtual world and a yacht. Let me start with some pros before dwelling into well known cons. Surprisingly, Western third person open world games are even harder to find than Pirate ones. (I’m looking at you Pirates of the Burning Sea *softly smooches it*) Pirates have been getting some love over the last few years, However Wild west always stayed in the realm of single player games and an occasional First Person Shooter. But we all know FPS’s can’t be immersive or often as vast of content as open world multiplayer games could. (*snickers in ERP tone) Making it a unique game that you can currently grab for aa entry frag of 4.99 euros. The content that it’s providing right now is well worth it, and a good investment considering the price will be rising 5 times. I just hope the content and care for the game rises just as much. On a more subjective note i must say how satisfying killing someone feels... In a game!.. Of course i meant in a game. While the world is devoid of great story and characters, it’s gameplay is still present, making it the only multiplayer shooter i actually enjoy playing with my gamepad. Now i’m gonna make a pretty questionable remark here even to myself as i highly enjoy more linear and story driven single player experience more than Empty huge Open worlds every new yearly Far Cry, Rainbow Six or anything Bethesda’s planning to ruin next, are providing. That being said those same huge storiless open worlds provide you a blank canvass only limited by your own imagination. There are people that you can meet out there in that wide wild west, things that you’re gonna do differently just because someone nudged you to... (*Insert that moment when he cleaned the whole camp full of Lemoyne Raiders only to be noticed by another stranger, who inquisitively and a bit scared asked about what transpired, visibly worried for the departed folk...While explaining him how they were bad men, i noticed they were guarding a lawman tied up and gagged, looking more scared of being noticed than relieved of being saved... I brought his presence to this new passerby, asking him if he might have any idea of what i should do with him? He replied in a manner of telling a short story with a surprising twist... “Well i’d untie him and then i’d blow his brains out”. It was at that moment, the lawman’s fate was sealed. I took my knife out, cut the rope and grabbed the surprised officer in blue that for the first time during the whole ordeal looked relieved for a moment...*The gunshot sound* This wouldn’t be possible in linear handholding experience every mission of single player was.  The NPC wouldn’t be programmed to push you and make decision like that on a whim.  I noticed lately is that any game can be enjoyed as much as you let it entertain you. So instead of getting polarized right from the start by looking into reviews such as this. In a perfect world one should experience the game first, and be the judge of its shortcomings, if he even notices them in the first place. Now lets get into the really gritty business. You get an abysmally low amount of money and gold pieces. Throwing accent on gold pieces as they are the main form of unlocking majority of the content hidden behind roles of: The Collector, Naturalist, Bounty Hunter, Trader and Moonshiner.  You need to pay a hefty amount of hard earned gold to buy any of this roles that you can earn back only by picking Bounty Hunter first as it’s the only role that earns you gold. Picking anything else would set you back to square 0. The system isn’t perfect. Not for the player. There’s a CEO out there laughing every time some poor tortured soul gets bored of grinding and goes for its Debit Card to buy some Gold Bars instead. There’s a positive thing about the value of Gold though, This game has a battle pass that became a staple of every multiplayer game. While it’s usually associated with Free to play games, as one of the sources of the income, It’s getting quite prominent shamelessly in top tier $60 games. Red Dead Online however lets you get the premium content of the Battle Pass for 40 Gold Bars. Now while its very welcome having this option present, It would be even more tolerable with the introduction of more Gold making methods. Which brings me to the state of game it is in now. Anyone who played GTA Online knows how broken the netcode is. RDO is unfortunately the same in that regard. During my 15 hours I have encountered  1 whitescreen glitch, 2 hackers and a lot of empty lobbies for game modes nobody plays. Which is probably because they tried playing it with insufficient amount of people for them to shine through. While some of them could be just pure trash... Like the train chasing, capture the wagon mode that instead working like king of the hill, where everybody is working together to overtake one overpowered player, here while doing that, other players work against each other too... Which makes it god awful considering everybody is spawning on same place near the moving train where it becomes Spawn Kill Simulator. Right now, Read Dead Online is in that stage before even getting its heists. It’s in its infancy. The Dark Age. My hopes are that enough people gets the $6 version of the game (Including those who already bought it once on console and want to secure the future of the game, and any new updates they might be having in store) Cause we all know GTAV is gonna get rere-released for at least 2 more console generations so why not just get it on PC and be done with it. Maybe united under one platform Rockstar finally starts paying attention to it as much as to its older cash cow brother. Recently i had a luck of experiencing tv show called Deadwood. If you’re not particularly into Westerns, but you loved Red Dead Redemption 2, and can’t find anything that fills that void in any other media i highly recommend you trying to get into it as it was the first thing that filled mine. That sounded dirty... Anyhow in that show people aspire to be Prospectors. I think that would be the perfect role for Red Dead Online. You must have encountered a person who struck gold trying to run away from you while hiding his nugget.Just imagine the possibilities....Working your own Mineral Deposit with a chance of Gold. Cause god knows having a working Gold claim would be too good to be true. Mining could either be another thing, we have a shovel, you might as well give us a Pickaxe.  It could be either incorporated in the role of Prospector or its own thing... Miner > Prospector,  Kinda like how Trader and Moonshiner work now.  Another chance of getting gold bars would be by preforming HEISTS. In GTA Online’s Casino Heist, you have a chance of getting more valuable score than cash. Those are Art, Diamonds and GOLD.  You take literal gold bars and put ‘em in your bag. Imagine how awesome would that be in RDO. Making robbing banks, freighters even goddamn trains all the more repeatable and invaluable. These are all dreams in best case scenario whatsoever.  Now excuse me, I gotta go feed my pets, And i might turn this into a Youtube video.

Talks Machina Highlights - Critical Role C2E65 (June 4, 2019)
Are we on the internet? Probably! Either way, Travis goes falsetto and Marisha’s playing with a pillow. Brian: “We’re back. ...on the air.”
Tonight’s guests are Marisha Ray and Travis Willingham!
Announcements: Last night was a special one-off episode of Between the Sheets featuring Ashley Johnson! It’s an awfully good one, and you can watch it right this very moment if you’re subscribed on Twitch, or on Wednesday on YouTube if you’re not. The very first Between the Sheets t-shirt (”Baby Got Backstory”) is available for preorder on the site! If you missed the horror-themed promo for the shirt, it’ll come around again. There’s also a Pride t-shirt, and all the proceeds go to OutRight Action International! There’s also a huge thank-you to everyone at Denver Pop Culture Con and they marvel at the cosplay---they especially highlight a Grog who was bigger than Travis! There’s also a long discussion about Brian’s fly. Buttons are confusing.
Okay, okay, okay let’s get to Episode 65: Chases and Trees
Stats: At over 12 minutes, this was the longest DnDBeyond ad. Travis: “But what do you do? Do you edit the Oscar-worthy performance of Marisha Ray?” There’s some rambling discussion about demonetized British currency, as you do. Dani, quietly: “We have questions...” Nott rolled the 300th player Natural 20! This episode also marks the first combat encounter Beau has ended with all of her ki points still available.
It is pointed out that Travis is wearing one of Liam’s sweaters over his legs to hide his shorts. Dani: “That sweater is for our protection.” Marisha: “Everyone is blinded for 60 seconds.” Brian: “The next thing you’re going to hear in your visions is ‘Ṣ̛̪͉̭͈͍ͅP̦R̭A̘͙̲͇̭Y̦͜ͅ-͜T̡A̴̫̣͎̹N͉͍’ .”
Tumblr media
[id: Travis coyly pushing the sweater back, revealing his untanned legs. Marisha looks amused and exasperated. end id]
Kiri was contacted for the first time in 40 episodes or 140 in-game days!
Marisha and Travis commiserate over what it’s like to be very awesome but not specifically in a flashy, magical way like the rest of the party. Marisha: “I’ll just do yoga on the horses.”
At first, Travis thought the figure in the vision was going to be Fjord’s mother, but once it played out, he realized it was probably the Wildmother and he’s definitely going to talk to Caduceus about it. “I’ll fucking sip some tea. I don’t give a shit. I’ll help him grow some dead people fungus. I’ll help him make some Smurfs.”
Marisha points out that Beau is pretty self-deprecating about her abilities, even when they include sprinting up the side of a 400-foot tree. "She assumes everyone hates her because she hates herself first. And once again, everyone around her can do crazy magic shit. She’s going to figure it out, but I think it’s going to take something. Talk to Beau. Don’t talk to me.”
Brian: “Travis, continue to sit there like my Nana watching Jeopardy while answering this question...”
Travis on Fjord: “Look, he puts on a brave, stoic face, because that’s what he saw Vandren do; that’s what people in leadership positions do: they don’t show vulnerability. Yeah, it’s a fucking facade.” With no risk to him, there’s a genuine olive branch being offered, and he’s been desperately looking for that kind of rescue. “That was huge.”
Travis notes that he used his only two spell slots to run up that tree. “I thought we were gonna have a rest before BIG BIRD showed up.”
Beau is "kind of an introvert” and does better one-on-one because there’s less vulnerability than talking in front of multiple people, and she can take more time to think about what she’s going to say. But she’s also got Dairon in the back of her head reminding her not to get close to people. “She’s got a lot of walls, still. She’s getting there, though.”
Cosplay of the Week: a wonderful Keyleth (@teaandtails, photo by Jay Villanueva). Dani notes that the antlers are huge in person!
Travis had plans both for if someone else fell, and for if he fell, which is why he was so quick off the draw. There are some memories shared of campaign one’s Goldfish Incident. Marisha: “Look, in my brain, there was nothing that could have gone wrong!”
Beau opening up to Yasha was less about comforting her (”Beau’s not a comforter.”) and more about finally being able to talk to someone who would understand. Marisha had it in the back of her mind for a while, but didn’t want to bring it up in front of everybody.
Fjord didn’t understand that the tree was connected to the Wildmother when he damaged it, but Travis figures she was probably thinking along the lines of: “Fuck, aw, c’mon-- twice?! You’re gonna dent the thing! Should we just get rid of this asshole? Chosen one, my ass. I mean, that snake thing’s not a big deal, right?”
Beau thinks of her relationship with Tori as a bit of a “what not to do”, and that whole encounter is part of why she pushes people away and has such elaborate walls. There’s a very over-elaborate analogy in which Brian brings up the hypothetical of having lactose intolerance: Marisha: “Maybe loving ice cream isn’t the thing for him! Maybe it’s better to have never loved ice cream!” Brian: “But there’s lactose-free ice cream.”
Marisha was excited to have an opportunity to use her ability to run up vertical walls. “I was stoked! First opportunity I can get. And then to get down, I was like, ‘...it’ll be fine.’”
Fjord is feeling really encouraged that the gods can intervene in his pact with Uk’otoa. “The fact that they can get around and fuck with each other’s shit... aces.”
Fan Art of the Week: the Wildmother comforting Fjord. (@_strawberryfox_)
Brian: “Are we just putting our feet up on the coffee table? Is that what’s happening?” (Henry disapproves.)
Tumblr media
[id: Travis, Marisha, and Brian lounging with their feet on the coffee table, while Henry glances up from his nap in a judging way. end id]
Fjord wasn’t relying on Feather Fall; he was going to Misty Step when he got close to the ground if it didn’t work out. Beau was definitely relying on Nott. They’re doing a better job of trusting each other and knowing each other’s abilities, but it’s still a work-in-progress.
Marisha notes that Fjord and Beau are on a similar page re: the Dynasty. “In my head, I wonder if I’m being a Tyrion Lannister about this.” (As someone who didn’t follow that show, I am smiling and nodding nervously through this whole discussion and hoping I don’t need to transcribe something I don’t understand.) Beau’s hoping that if they can keep going, their influence will help sway the Queen in a different way, or an option will present itself to avoid this kind of conflict. Fjord is cautiously optimistic, but he thinks “she still intends to nuke them, regardless.” Beau’s also hoping to find someone else in the upper echelon of the Dynasty who might have different opinions. The word “coup” gets thrown around a bit.
There’s a spell Fjord has that he hasn’t used yet at all (Travis doesn’t remember it at the moment), since he only has the two spell slots. Beau has the Preternatural Counter ability, but hasn’t had the opportunity to use it yet (Sentinel kind of supplants it most of the time).
Brian shows off his John-Wick-and-his-dog pins. Oh dear. Travis: “...that’s a weird pin set to have.” It was, of course, a gift from Ashley.
Biggest achievement for their characters thus far? Brian points out that not dying before level 9 and having had no huge falling-outs are genuinely big achievements. Marisha: “I feel like our characters have reached that kind of awkward point, where we were fighting and trying to figure each other out, and now we’re starting to find a common goal.” Travis: “Minus Caduceus. What’s that fucking guy all about? He turns people into tea and he’s got us thinking that’s normal!”
Dani: “Episode 66 on 6/6... WHAT DOES IT MEAN?”

40. weirdest thing to ever happen at your school?
In high school here- so, aside from me being the resident weirdo (I DID come to school dressed as the TARDIS), my senior class decided to squirt hundreds of bottles of chocolate syrup on the sidewalks.

41. last person you texted?
My father and mother in a group text to cry about customers treating me poorly.

50. what made you laugh the hardest you ever have?
I’m gonna sound so gay but when @disasterbikirito​ started laughing about a certain GIF and his laugh was so infectious I couldn’t help but laugh too. 
51. current stresses?
Are you shitting me it’s everything. Every. Single. Thing. I cannot breathe. I am having meltdowns. Someone fucking save me I cannot deal with COVID well.
52. favorite font?
Garamond for writing in my free time, Doulous SIL for all the linguistics IPA symbols my greedy heart desires. 
53. what is the current state of your hands?
Smooth but my fingertips have been gnawed on. I am stressed, okay?
54. what did you learn from your first job?
Gosh, lots of things. But the most important takeaway is that a good boss will genuinely care about you. I miss that man. He was so wonderful and so caring and taught me so much about theater. Technical things and artistic things and historical things. Sometimes I wish I could have made a career out of working under him. 
55. favorite fairy tale?
Beauty and the Beast (AH...AH...I SEE YOU ROLLING YOUR EYES BECAUSE I’M TRANS. I KNOW. I *KNOW*.)
56. favorite tradition?
It’s a family tradition kinda unique to my household. Each year, we draw a name from a hat, and that name comes with a lot of words that describe us and what we liked over that year. We then each take a $20 bill and we go to a little hobby shop with cheap things in it and use that $20 bill to fill a Christmas stocking. We then hang them back up and empty the stocking full of candies and random silly things and have a good laugh and guess who filled whose stocking. 
57. the three biggest struggles you’ve overcome?
The first one is coming to terms with knowing my dad has a severe illness. It really shook my family up, and it’s terrifying us right now with everything going on, but after a while, I learned that he was smiling, so I could smile, too.
The second one is my mother coming back from her tour in the Middle East on top of the murder of my godmother. Two very stressful things happened at once. My mother got very violent from her PTSD and her best friend died in a horrible way. It was an adjustment for everyone, and it kind of ripped my family to pieces. I can say, though, that my parents are still married and are getting better, and my sister and I are coming back to the family to be more open and healthy.
The third, and maybe some of my followers are aware, was getting rid of my ex-fiance. He was a man who sexually assaulted me repeatedly and I won’t go into details beyond that. It took me 5 years to get rid of him and accept what happened, but I am a much happier person now and while I work through the trauma that caused me, I have the most wonderful partner by my side and if you had told me back then I’d find someone as kind and patient and loving as him, I would have laughed and thought you were insane. 
59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be?
Probably what I put on all my fanfic updates: “I know. I’m an asshole.”
60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be?
Some kind of shoujo romance but it’s bi also I want a sword.
61. favorite line you heard from a book/movie/tv show/etc.?
There was nothing more smartass than Alice Synthesis 30 in SAO 18 asking a reporter to open up his head and prove he was human I’m sorry like OOF-
63. five songs that would play in your club?
Get in losers, we’re playing Steppin’ Out by FLOW, Elle me dit by Mika, Blue by Eiffel 65, ADAMAS by LiSA, and Touch Off by UVERworld.
64. favorite website from your childhood?
I was on Webkinz more than I want to admit. 
65. any permanent scars?
Yup. I have one on my toe where I split the skin in half. I tripped. I have three surgical scars from when I had my appendix removed. And...the mystery scar. I was supposedly born with a scar it’s at the part where my foot meets my leg on my left side and you can see how it’s stretched over the years if you run your finger over it. The joke is that the doctor taking out my mom’s appendix scratched me in the womb. 
67. good luck charms?
Not really a charm but I do have a little Kirito keychain I carry everywhere I go that I fiddle with when I’m nervous.
68. worst flavor of any food or drink you’ve ever tried?
Artificial bubblegum. Disgustiiiing.
70. left or right handed?

72. worst subject?
History...I am ashamed. It’s interesting, I just suck at it.
73. favorite weird flavor combo?
Gingerbread and marshmallow. I am a bit picky about mixing foods and flavors, so this was the weirdest I could think up. 
74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen?
Can you hear that? It’s my hysterical laughter. 12 on a scale of 10. I get up there pretty frequently. Thank you, chronic crippling pain. 
75. when did you lose your first tooth?
I...I don’t remember...I don’t even remember...I think I had to be like what...kindergarten? 
76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)?
THIS IS CRUEL I LOVE ALL POTATOS I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH-Au gratin.
77. best plant to grow on a windowsill?
Aloe!
78. coffee from a gas station or sushi from a grocery store?
Coffee from a gas station. Mark my words...I will never get grocery store sushi. Ever. Again. My stomach has not forgotten. What a mistake. That was. 
79. which looks better, your school id photo or your driver’s license photo?
So, my driver’s license hasn’t had an updated photo since I was 15 and just had a learner’s so I look like I want to murder a man but my school ID I had just run about a mile in the cold because the bus wasn’t running that day and my face is red and I look like I’m crying...probably the school ID...
80. earth tones or jewel tones?
Jewel tones~~
81. fireflies or lightning bugs?

Neither...what...no...neither...they will put me to sleep...I will be out in seconds...the most dangerous things...people talking...and then I’m out...

88. your greatest wish?
To make enough of a difference in someone’s life that they learn to love themself.
89. who would you put before everyone else?
Such a selfish thought...gosh...the mere thought of prioritizing someone troubles me. 
90. luckiest mistake?
Telling a cute guy sending me dog pictures was an excellent flirting technique as he sent me pictures of his puppy. I immediately thought “oh god I’ve fucked up bad” and at present we’re kinda head over heels for one another so maybe just be stupidly blunt once and a while you might find true love. 
91. boxes or bags?
Boxes. My cat didn’t force me to say that. Not at all. Sock, buddy, off the keyboard-
92. lamps, overhead lights, sunlight or fairy lights?
Sunlight. I like the sun. The sun is my friend. It is warm and would never betray me.
93. nicknames?
Sister calls me “spoony” when she’s being ridiculous. No, I don’t know what that means. Mama calls me “cakes.” I had friends who called me “Deku” because I’m a crybaby. Had a few people DM me and straight up call me “Eugeo” or “Eug.” AJ is technically a nickname. 
94. favorite season?
Springtime!!!!! It’s...HERE!
95. favorite app on your phone?
I use like three apps...so Discord.
96. desktop background?
It’s. It’s Kirito and Eugeo. What did you expect.
97. how many phone numbers do you have memorized?
Mama’s, dad’s, mine, and my parents’ house number. And does the emergency 911 count (pahahaha). 
(I answered the others in delicateeuphoria’s ask!)

Sharpear Supplement Reviews
SharpEar Review: “Real Cause of Hearing Loss”
This “Real Cause of Hearing Loss” supplement is relatively cheap. Besides, it can be processed and preserved in several amounts. It is better used in combination with a deep underground Amish-community cure that solves the major cause of losing the ability to hear comfortably.
Let’s discuss Sam Olsen’s SharpEar to find out more about this magic recipe. Also, what it includes for treating side effects of hearing damage to enhancing general ear protection for sound auditory benefits.
What is SharpEar Pills?
Tumblr media
SharpEar is the Real Cause of Hearing Loss capsules. It’s the anti-hearing damage regain aid that promises to repair the opportunity to avoid missing hearing sense using pure and healthy ingredients. You take the medication every day. The antioxidants extract contaminants from the bloodstream. In turn, this helps the body regain hearing and repair hearing damage. Furthermore, it focuses on cellular restoration of the auditory nerve.
The supplement has an exciting story and is marketed online. Sam Olsen describes how a brain scan discovered “the real root cause of hearing impairment and how to cure it” in a video and selling website. A doctor informed John that he had lost his hearing. Nothing can be done to fix the hearing loss, the doctor told him.
John didn’t want to take medications or endure costly surgeries, so he switched to an unexpected source. Here, he chose Colorado’s Amish culture. The Amish values is the one organization in the country who understands how to cure the root cause of hearing loss, according to John:
“Using this ancient “water rite” of 60 seconds, you will flush out this poisonous poison and avoid it from destroying your skin. And if you implement this basic plan, you will undo the harm this chemical has caused inside your brain and regain your hearing quickly.
John argues that drug makers are fighting to delete his cure from the online. He says the system is “so amazing, and it has been outlawed by the multi-billion dollar listening industry. Here, the main objective is to suck out of your wallet the single penny.”
John believes in his formula power to function as displayed to reverse hearing loss. Let’s look at how SharpEar pills works more closely – whether it operates at all.
How SharpEar Supplement Works For Restore Your Hearing?
SharpEar is based on the concept of flushing a poison out of the body. The toxin causes a loss of hearing. You may reduce the likelihood of hearing damage by eliminating this poison from the system.
The organization also says that it will profit indirectly from the elimination of toxins. You will dramatically decrease the likelihood of diseases in the brain, such as memory failure and repair tinnitus (ring between the ears).
The man on the SharpEar sales page, John, says the formula “within a few weeks” reversed his hearing loss. John claimed that his hearing problem could not be traced to a follow-up test, which means he completely cured this formulation.
SharpEar works allegedly in a two-step process. Here’s how the fabricator explains the operation (vaguely):
Nutrients come into the body to stimulate the brain. SharpEar contains 29 ingredients, which “give your brain full power for regeneration and revitalization.” The brain continues “the hearing regeneration cycle” automatically because it has been robbed of those nutrients for too many years.
Revitalizes your brain, and your hearing begins to repair itself. The formula allegedly regenerates your hair cells and purifies your auditory nerves. SharpEar claims to be working like magic: you don’t have to change your diet or exercise. You do not have to perform any therapies. You have to take SharpEar once a day. According to the maker, you should hope to restore hearing damage within weeks.
Benefits of using this SharpEar Pills
Tumblr media
SharpEar’s manufacturer claims to have carried out a study “on its first 1,228 impressed volunteers.” The company, however, did not publish the results of that survey or share it online.
Even the most significant and best nutritional supplements in the world cannot afford to conduct clinical trials – not to add a clinical trial with over 1,200+ individuals.
Even more for SharpEar capsules is that on its ‘Analysis & References’ list, the organization mentions just two reviews, and neither test shows SharpEar functions as advertised.
For example, the firm cites this 2010 study, which shows that a specific amyloid buildup was associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The research concentrated on Alzheimer’s disease, and there was no clear correlation between amyloid and hearing impairment.
Next, the firm cites this University College London news article from 2019. The link outlines that researchers have just started a trial on a new hearing medication. Researchers checked the drug on 15 individuals. The tale has become a huge deal because there are no medications for curing hearing loss. The suggested medication is administered through the ear into patients to manage mild to severe hearing impairment.
SharpEar dietary supplement creators do not link up with a follow-up paper that explains the results. Still, it does not matter: 15 people participated in the study and focused on a drug that can be injected — not a nutritional supplement.
SharpEar’s other ingredients contain unlisted dosages so that such dosages cannot be associated with scientific studies.
In general, SharpEar works to fix hearing loss as advertised. There is no scientific evidence at all. Any proof is seen to cure hearing impairment with either diet, drink, or nutrient. Only high-quality ingredients from selected sources are used for SharpEar.
This product does not have any side effects, is not invasive, and you need less than one minute a day to use. Is SharpEar a pills for everyone? Yeah, yeah! It’s healthy for citizens of any generation.
The explanation that this drug is unique from every other product in the market is because it is specifically related to your problem. However, can this likely to mess with the medications you take? There are no documented cases of their products causing any drug problems. Your safest idea is to double test with the doctor before you take it.

Sharpear Supplement Review
SharpEar Supplement Review: “Real Cause of Hearing Loss”
 This “Real Cause of Hearing Loss” supplement is relatively cheap. Besides, it can be processed and preserved in several amounts. It is better used in combination with a deep underground Amish-community cure that solves the major cause of losing the ability to hear comfortably. 
 Let’s discuss Sam Olsen’s SharpEar to find out more about this magic recipe. Also, what it includes for treating side effects of hearing damage to enhancing general ear protection for sound auditory benefits.
  What is SharpEar Pills?
 SharpEar is the Real Cause of Hearing Loss capsules. It’s the anti-hearing damage regain aid that promises to repair the opportunity to avoid missing hearing sense using pure and healthy ingredients. You take the medication every day. The antioxidants extract contaminants from the bloodstream. In turn, this helps the body regain hearing and repair hearing damage. Furthermore, it focuses on cellular restoration of the auditory nerve.
Tumblr media
 The supplement has an exciting story and is marketed online. Sam Olsen describes how a brain scan discovered “the real root cause of hearing impairment and how to cure it” in a video and selling website. A doctor informed John that he had lost his hearing. Nothing can be done to fix the hearing loss, the doctor told him.
 John didn’t want to take medications or endure costly surgeries, so he switched to an unexpected source. Here, he chose Colorado’s Amish culture. The Amish values is the one organization in the country who understands how to cure the root cause of hearing loss, according to John: “Using this ancient “water rite” of 60 seconds, you will flush out this poisonous poison and avoid it from destroying your skin. And if you implement this basic plan, you will undo the harm this chemical has caused inside your brain and regain your hearing quickly.
 John argues that drug makers are fighting to delete his cure from the online. He says the system is “so amazing, and it has been outlawed by the multi-billion dollar listening industry. Here, the main objective is to suck out of your wallet the single penny.” John believes in his formula power to function as displayed to reverse hearing loss. Let’s look at how SharpEar pills works more closely – whether it operates at all.
  How SharpEar Supplement Works For Restore Your Hearing?
 SharpEar is based on the concept of flushing a poison out of the body. The toxin causes a loss of hearing. You may reduce the likelihood of hearing damage by eliminating this poison from the system. The organization also says that it will profit indirectly from the elimination of toxins. You will dramatically decrease the likelihood of diseases in the brain, such as memory failure and repair tinnitus (ring between the ears).
 The man on the SharpEar sales page, John, says the formula “within a few weeks” reversed his hearing loss. John claimed that his hearing problem could not be traced to a follow-up test, which means he completely cured this formulation. SharpEar works allegedly in a two-step process. Here’s how the fabricator explains the operation (vaguely):
 Nutrients come into the body to stimulate the brain. SharpEar contains 29 ingredients, which “give your brain full power for regeneration and revitalization.” The brain continues “the hearing regeneration cycle” automatically because it has been robbed of those nutrients for too many years.
Revitalizes your brain, and your hearing begins to repair itself. The formula allegedly regenerates your hair cells and purifies your auditory nerves. SharpEar claims to be working like magic: you don’t have to change your diet or exercise. You do not have to perform any therapies. You have to take SharpEar once a day. According to the maker, you should hope to restore hearing damage within weeks.
  Benefits of using this SharpEar Pills
 SharpEar’s manufacturer claims to have carried out a study “on its first 1,228 impressed volunteers.” The company, however, did not publish the results of that survey or share it online. Even the most significant and best nutritional supplements in the world cannot afford to conduct clinical trials – not to add a clinical trial with over 1,200+ individuals.
Tumblr media
 Even more for SharpEar capsules is that on its ‘Analysis & References’ list, the organization mentions just two reviews, and neither test shows SharpEar functions as advertised. For example, the firm cites this 2010 study, which shows that a specific amyloid buildup was associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The research concentrated on Alzheimer’s disease, and there was no clear correlation between amyloid and hearing impairment.
 Next, the firm cites this University College London news article from 2019. The link outlines that researchers have just started a trial on a new hearing medication. Researchers checked the drug on 15 individuals. The tale has become a huge deal because there are no medications for curing hearing loss. The suggested medication is administered through the ear into patients to manage mild to severe hearing impairment.
 SharpEar dietary supplement creators do not link up with a follow-up paper that explains the results. Still, it does not matter: 15 people participated in the study and focused on a drug that can be injected — not a nutritional supplement.
SharpEar’s other ingredients contain unlisted dosages so that such dosages cannot be associated with scientific studies.
In general, SharpEar works to fix hearing loss as advertised. There is no scientific evidence at all. Any proof is seen to cure hearing impairment with either diet, drink, or nutrient. Only high-quality ingredients from selected sources are used for SharpEar.
This product does not have any side effects, is not invasive, and you need less than one minute a day to use. Is SharpEar a pills for everyone? Yeah, yeah! It’s healthy for citizens of any generation.
The explanation that this drug is unique from every other product in the market is because it is specifically related to your problem. However, can this likely to mess with the medications you take? There are no documented cases of their products causing any drug problems. Your safest idea is to double test with the doctor before you take it.
Each of their goods come with a 60 day no questions asked money return guarantee. Please see our reimbursement and returns policies for more details.

The journey of its invention started with a lady named Sharon who was having major weight issues and was one way or the other, leading to differences in her married life. She had tried everything, from work out to diets, but nothing seemed to work. The couple finally wanted to give their relationship a chance and decided to go on a trip almost half a world away to Africa.
While on an adventurous raft ride in the mighty Zambezi River, she happened to lose control and was almost nearing death when some natives of the nearby place helped her to get out and even made sure that she was fed and treated properly. An African Shaman happened to give her a few red grapes with the stem to heal her quickly. And what she noticed after consuming them for a few days was that not only those grapes were helping to heal and making her pains go away but has also made her lose a tremendous amount of weight. She was not sure at first if grapes are the reason or if it is something else? But studies made by scientists and her research concluded that those red grapes with the stem are the ones that made the difference with her weight.

Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence. Canon-typical gore. Canon-typical derogatory language. 
"I wonder what she's gonna do this time," John mutters from the far end of the table, picking at his nails, huffing out a laugh. "I bet she's wearin' red today, brothers." he laughs to himself.
"Oh, come on now John, don't start." Arthur scolds his younger brother, turning his head to him but not his eyes. Arthur was blankly staring into the grain of the table.
"I'm sure it’ll be a red dress day from speaking with her over the telephone." Tommy adds, glaring at them both as he walks back and forth across the floor of the Garrison.
"And how are you still livin'? You of all of us should hope she's not in red today. You're the one that got all balled up and conned her into this mess." John retorts.
"I did not con her and since you can not strangle anyone through the telephone, I am still alive and I still have to deal with this, so shut up and let me handle it." he answers, his voice low.
"She's gonna be so fuckin' mad." Arthur mumbles, not so much in retort but he felt bad for you. "I'd put my money on red today." As much as he did enjoy your lethal escapades together, when it was just one of you angry without the other, there was no fun to be had by either of you.
"What'd you do to her, Thomas?" Alfie shouts as he comes up the back hallway into the bar.
"It's not so much me as Sabini." Tommy says, shaking the hand holding a cigarette towards Alfie.
"What a twist of the truth that is." Arthur replies, nervous in anticipation of your iminent arrival.
"What is it you've lured me into today, Tommy?" Alfie's tone is scolding, pulling up a chair to the far side of a long table sat in the middle of a cleared Garrison.
"Alfie. I've invited you as a mediator of sorts. I figured she might be more inclined to behave herself if you're here. A living witness as to what happens to us here today. I believe you are the only among us to have not wronged her in some way."
"Yet." Arthur says in a vaguely intimidating way. Alfie narrows his eyes in question at the man ignoring his presence otherwise across the room.
Tommy stops to stand in the space between the two chairs to his left next to his brothers and Alfie. "I went through with an alternative plan from what I had discussed with her previously." his fingertips rest on the top of the table, his head up as he speaks with no enthusiasm.
"No, she fuckin' told you this would happen if you let the Italians in on it. Her words exactly." Arthur interupts, his voice much less somber than it was.
"I remember her words, Arthur." Tommy says with a sigh, closing his eyes for a moment. He takes a deep breath and goes back to explaining the situation, his words directed at only Alfie. "I lied to her and said I wouldn't ask for the Italians help to scope out a place for her that she's had her eye on robbing. But, it was in their territory and I didn't want to deal with them being fuckin' pricks about it. It was a very ambitious job. Even for her." he takes a moment to push back feeling bad about what he'd done. "The fuckin' Italians get spooked and kill every guard on duty. Now the place is sealed tighter than a tomb and there is no way in for the foreseeable future." the last part comes out faster than the rest.
"And?" Alfie demands, being able to tell he isn't getting the full extent to the cause of your anger.
"And they stole things while they were in there that they are refusing to hand over." his head dips as he adds the last words, laced with annoyance.
"Ah. There is it is, now, see?" Alfie nods, "Just tell the truth Tommy, that's all ya gotta do." he shakes his head and tsks him. He motions with his hand at Tommy and looking at the two other Shelby's at the other end of his side of the table in solidarity at being disappointed with him. "They got something she had her eye on, didn't they?" his voice dips low with a tone of knowing, directed by to Tommy.
"Yes." he says flatly, refusing to look at him.
"Oh, I do imagine she will be quiet upset by that now, yeah?" he can't help the grin that spreads across his face, fully at the expense of Tommy.
"One of those fuckin' eggs she goes on about." Arthur mumbles, his elbows resting on the table in front of him, watching the door.
"Fuckin' Faberge?" Alfies voice goes higher pitched. "Where in hell was she trying to break in to?" his voice grows louder. Tommy ignores his question.
"Have you ever seen Gen angry, Alfie?" Tommy asks, turning his head to him.
"No I have not had, what sounds like, the distinct pleasure to witness this event." his hands clasp over the handle of his cane.
"Well, you're fuckin' about to." John grumbles, chewing his toothpick as he sits straight up in his chair, adjusting his jacket. Alfie's head quickly swivels towards the door.
"Best shut your mouths, all of ya." Arthur says as he stands from his chair to greet you as your silhouette appears in the frosted glass of the door, pausing before reaching for the handle. They all see and share a glance as they can see the red of your dress through the foggy surface.
You walk through the door to see the four men, all looking at you in a different way. You were angry. You were seething. Did you want to scream and say things Tommy would deflect until he was alone with his thoughts in his drunken mind, alone in the middle of the night, turning his blue eyes red? Yes. But were you? No. You had been lied to. That very specifically stung. It hurt so deeply you were numbed to it. Thomas should thank his lucky stars for that. Your planning of the job that you'd been working on for quite some time was now voided out. You would get over that eventually. You were not weeping for the loss of life of the guards. They knew what they were signing up for. Were you mad that things you craved to be your own were now in the hands of those you considered your enemies? Yes. You weren't sure how long it would take to get over that aspect. But in the meantime you tried to appear more like an abyss, calm with the threat of danger lying just under the surface instead of roaring in like a typhoon.
"This place finally looks worthy of me visiting it." you say, pulling off your gloves with your teeth, referring to the new golden interior of the bar. You hadn't been here in ages and under different circumstances, you'd be much more complimentary of the updates.
"It'll never be worthy of you, sweetheart." Arthur's gruff tone did disarm you if only for a few milliseconds. He approaches you with opens arms, waiting for you to reciprocate.
"My peach." you say, patting his cheek and wrapping your arms around his neck in a hug. He tightly embraces you, shaking your body just slightly in a show of enthusiasm at your words of praise. You place a kiss on his cheek and he moves to the back of the chair he was sitting in. You look down your nose at John who was still gnawing his toothpick as his fingers wrapped around the end of it.
"Well, c'mon then, up with you." you pleasantly command as he takes out his toothpick and grins. You wrap your arms around him as well, kissing his cheek the same as Arthur, "It feels as if it has been many moons since I've seen you."
"It's felt even longer to me." he says with a cheeky grin as he pulls away from you.
You smirk, tapping his nose with your finger, "Charmers, the lot of you." you tutt, as he sits down.
Tommy doesn't open his arms as he knows what the response to be. "No point in letting you in close when I know you at the very least have a knife on you."
"I'd call you a smart boy if your actions didn't speak exactly the opposite of you." you hiss, shaking your head. Your eyes look to Alfie, who you are surprised to see here. You stand closer to Tommy, glaring up at him. "But you're smart enough to bring someone not a brother here today so I don't slap the piss out of you for lying to me." you hiss quietly. "Your's will be coming Shelby." you say before moving your attention to your unexpected guest. "What brings you all the way out here, Alfie?" you inquire, your tone now welcoming. He stands as you get closer.
"It seems as though you do. Since our Tommy here has gone and fucked up everything for you, hasn't he?" he kisses your hand instead of your cheeks. He's cautious of you. Good. He should be today. "I almost wept at the news of him ruining your plans to get your hands on Feberege, I did." he says, slightly pouting in his almost sincere words. He holds your hands in his. "I am truly, very sorry for your loss." You sigh as you hold eye contact with him.
"So am I." your eyelashes flutter and you turn your head. Alfie is familiar with the longing look he finds in your eyes as you think of your prize. "Beautiful she was." You clear your throat after you pause for a few seconds. You move to sit in the closest chair. Tommy sits to your left. You wait in silence.
Sabini sits across from Tommy, another vaguely recognizable man to his right, and from the looks of him, a much lower ranking man to his left. This man is seated across from you.
You let Tommy speak first, you knew how this worked. Your hands are in your lap, your back straight and your eyes full of the fury of a woman scorned.
"Who's she?" Sabini asks Tommy, his gloved hand motioning to you.
"The party in question that has been wrong by the consequences of your men's actions." Tommy states plainly, you can tell by the stiffness in his shoulders he wasn't happy with how this was going already. Neither were you.
"Address your questions of me, to me, Mr. Sabini." you say low and even. Sabini rolls his eyes and looks over at you.
"Who are you?" he asks you with a condescending tone.
"Genevieve Durand." you state, your face hard and serious. The man across from you makes a scoffing noise. Your eyes slide to him, your brows lowering in the process.
"YOU'RE Durand?" he asks, his tone in disbelief.
You tilt your head at him in response.
"Durand is a fuckin' woman? You had us taking orders from her? " he asks, shaking his head towards Sabini, looking back to another man standing behind them.
Sabini ignores him. "And what the fuck are you doing here Alfie?" he holds his arm out towards the man who sits a few feet to your right.
"Moral support." he says cleverly.
"You know her?" he moves his hand to you.
"Yes. I know Miss Durand." he says, the use of your name telling you he realized the dehumanization you were currently feeling in droves.
"If you continue speaking as if I'm not here there is going to be a problem." you state in a calm tone, your eyes moving to Sabini. He looks down his nose at you.
"Miss Durand has suffered a loss at your hand due to my poor choice in help with this job." Tommy cuts in before Sabini opens his mouth.
"Poor choice." Sabini spits out, resting and arm on the table. "You're lucky it was us who went in there, little thing like her tried to get into that fortress she'd have her neck snapped before she could raise her dress to hop the fence." he says incredulously to Tommy alone.
You see Arthur shift in his seat at his words. Your eyes shut in an attempt to not reach for your knife, although your fingers were subconsciously working your dress up your leg instinctually from your anger. Alfie sees your hands moving unnoticed to the other side of the table. He doesn't know if he could be more interested in where this was going if he tried.
"Tommy?" you say clearly and sweetly. His eyes are unsure but steady as they turn to you. "What's my favorite thing in the world?" you ask, your head turning towards him. He gives you a subtle smile. Sabini still wears the same daft look on his face.
"Your money." he confidently responds, looking back over to Sabini.
"Oui." you nod angrily, looking to Sabini yourself. "My money. You're fucking with my money." you shout the next words, your chin rising in anger. "Personne ne baise avec mon argent!" you say with a fire burning inside your gut.
"Nobody's fucking with your money, sweetheart." Sabini says in a loud and whiney voice.
"Her money?" the man in front of you scoffs yet again after you speak. Your eyes are wide open this time as you stare into him. You don't even blink. "Just like a woman to speak for what her husbands earned." he says condescendingly.
"It is my fucking money. Mine alone. I insist you speak to me with more respect or else I'll be forced to do something like, call you a fucking goombah." you spit venomously at him. Your fingers slip into the holes of the custom made knife and it's holster on your thigh.
"Now you gonna let her talk to us like that?" he motions his hand to Tommy.
"She is inclined to speak however and to whoever she wants." Tommy clarifies even though you don't need him to.
"Your boy should shut his fucking mouth before something bad happens." you say slowly. Your words are directed at Sabini but your eyes bore into the man across from you.
"Arnold, let's try and be respectful, shall we?" Sabini says in an entirely fake and unconvincing voice.
"I'm not gonna be respectful to a woman who speaks to me like that. Should've known she didn't have a husband, who could put up with this?" he retorts, leaning forward on the table towards you in a, to him, macho move. This would prove to be a mistake on his behalf.
"Were you in charge on the night in question?" you ask him. Your tone impressively steady.
"Yeah, I was, what's it to ya?" he asks, his nose scrunching up at you as he spoke.
"You've taken things from me. I should take things from you now." you hiss, your eyes moving across his face.
"I got nothing whats yours sweetheart." he says cockily, his head shaking as he spoke.
You reach out like a flash, grabbing his tie and bouncing his head off the table. Your brass knuckle handled knife stabbing his tie into the table. Your hand remains on the handle, you lean in to speak to the man, ignoring the gun pulled on you from Sabini's back up. Sabini has pushed his chair away. "Where is my FUCKING EGG!" you shout.
"The fuck you doing?" he shouts, the fear in his voice makes goosebumps break out over your skin in pleasure.
"I know what was in that fucking house and I know the Faberge egg is no longer in the house so WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?" you shout your last words again.
"Listen you fucking crazy-" he's starting to blubber.
"CHOOSE YOUR NEXT WORDS VERY CAREFULLY!" your eyes wide, your brows high, your voice loud and booming so close to his face, your knee already on the edge of the table, ready to pounce. "Or they will be your last." you add, your crazed state of mind evident in the varying inflections of the few words, all punctuated with a villainous laugh.
"You gonna let her get away with acting like a fucking lunatic like this?" he looks desperately at the other men in the room both on his side and not. No one speaks against you. You see the hope fade from his face as the fear for his life rise. You let out a low, deep growl of a laugh.
"You should be fucking locked away, you fucking-" you feel it's time to end your suffering at the hand of the words of this man. You end the suffering for anyone who had ever had to hear a word uttered from his disgusting mouth.
You move so quickly in your rage. You yank the knife from the table, holding it as you project yourself across the table. You grab his shoulders, taking both him and the chair down with you as you land on top of him with your knees on his chest. You've pushed off the table hard enough to have moved you both a few feet back from where his chair had been. You hear his cries of pain and your teeth just grit tighter. No one in the room moves but you. Shock, excitement and confusion surge through the air. You punch him in the jaw repeatedly. You keep hitting him until he has few teeth left to defend himself with. After finding him weakened enough, his face now less recognizable. You shove your hands into his mouth, your nails digging into his tongue. The way his eyes go wide, his pupils blown out as he looks up at you, it all just adds to the moment. Killing was almost always personal in some way to you. You never killed without a reason. The blood from his rapid pulse makes him bleed in gushing waves as your knife cuts into the thick attached part of his tongue in the back of his mouth. You feel the blood hit your face and chest. He gurgles, chokes and cries beneath you, he faded and bled out surprisingly fast. You start to fade out of your animalistic mindset and gulp and wet your lips.
"You fucking animal!" Sabini shouts. You're sure he thinks whatever he is saying is very important but you block him out. Your ears ring slightly as if a bomb had gone off. You look at your chest and hands, lips frowning at the blood across your face and arms. You stand and move one leg so you're not straddling the man any longer. You turn to Sabini, your knife still in your hand.
"You took something from me so I took something from you. As far as I'm concerned, we're even. For now." you state calmly, your blood splattered body a strange juxtaposition with your words.
"You're fucking insane!" he shouts, his arms up in the air.
"Suck the entirety of my fucking cock, Sabini." you say, wiping the bloody blade off on his jacket as he looks as if he might gag. You hike up your dress and slide the knife back into its place on your thigh. You drop your dress and head towards the bar as Sabini and his men scoop up the body and leave hastily.
You hop up onto the bar to sit. Arthur is the first to rise from his seat. He lights a cigarette and hands it to you.
"It's like you know me, Arthur." you give him a tired smile.
"I do, luv." he says, his hand patting your knee. He'd seen your rage before. He'd helped you work out your rage on deserving people over the years. Truly another soul who had the ability to embrace that darkness that bubbled up like bile in your throats. Arthur moves to behind the bar but you've already leaned back and grabbed a bottle of whiskey, opening it and taking a drink from the bottle.
You take a sharp inhale and see John, his chair turned around, his legs spread out, hands in his lap, grinning at you. John had also seen your rage. It entertained him to no end. It surprised him still at times but that was part of the enjoyment for him.
"Fuckin' Italians." he says with his voice threatening to turn into a laugh as he reaches out to grab one of the glasses Arthur's put on the bar.
You see Arthur raise his hand and you three clink the bottles together lightly mumblin' "Fuckin' Italians." as you always did after fighting a member of said group. The first words either John or Arthur really remembered from you had turned into an inside joke amongst you three over the years. Tommy rolls his eyes at the display.
He was up and looking at the damage to the floor. "I'll pay for the floor, Tommy, that one's on me." you say, nodding to him as his eyes meet yours, he mirrors your gesture.
Your inense eyes move across the bar, landing on Alfie. In the midst of this, your brain called out, 'Poor, sweet Alfie' even though you knew this not to be the truth. You were hoping the brutal approach you'd heard of him taking would keep him from cutting all ties with a woman like you after witnessing that. Now that he'd seen what you do. But as you take a damp towel from Arthurs' hand from behind you, your eyes still locked on Alfie, you don't see any hint of running from him. If anything, he seemed even further planted as you looked at each other.
"I'm afraid I've failed entirely at behaving myself and for that I apologize for what you've seen me do here today." you say, your voice breathier than you intended. You were still a bit unexpectedly winded. You wipe your hands with the towel.
"What on earth for?" he says softly with an offense to your apology, approaching you. Your eyebrows raise as he shows no hesitation in moving right up next to you at the bar, sitting by your legs, looking up at you. Your eyes are back to their dark, doe-eyed selves as you blink down at him. "That was fucking brilliant." he grins. He took in your disheveled appearance. Some of your hair had fallen, the dark waves framing your collar bones with the curved neckline of your dress. The blood against your pale skin, dotting you like constellations in the night sky. "A woman telling a man to suck the entirety of her fucking cock, " he says with emphasis on your words being your own, "is something that I have not seen before." he nods, his brows knitted together at you in thought.
"No one ever expects the ugly words to come from such a pretty face now do they, Genny?" Arthur teases, referring to your usage of crass words in anger. "The woman's an artist." You can't help but smile at his words in combination with how Alfie was now looking at you. His eyes didn't leave you.
You don't hide your reaction to his words. "That she is." he says in an oddly proud tone, his head nodding. His voice slower and lower the more his eyes narrowed at you. "An artist who works in the mediums of sword and word with brutality and finesse?" he points a finger at you, his other hand still perched atop his cane. His eyes flick over to Tommy and back to you. "That's a rare skill set, innit? And from a woman who looks like a work of art herself?" you subtly reciprocate the enthusiastic expression he gives you.
"Always good to meet fans of my work." you say full of yourself. You grin down at him, your eyelids lowered just slightly, not hiding your still large pupils. He lets out a loud laugh, tapping his cane against the floor with his pleased face focused on yours.

Meeting Pearl Mackie
After a pretty awesome Venture Bros Panel, we made our way back over to the room where Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie were.  My original plan was to go to see Capaldi first because I was concerned about how long his line would be and whether or not I would be able to meet him or not.  One we got in the door, I realized there were three rooms put together and the celebrities were in the final room.  When we got in line it Capaldi was signing at one table and there were about 30 or so people in his line.  There wasn’t anyone in Pearl’s line and there were about 60 or so people in line to see Evangeline Lilly.  Pearl wasn’t in the room but the other two were signing autographs.  We got into line and Brittany and Liz were kind enough to hold my spot while I wandered back and forth between our spot and the end of the room so that I could see Capaldi.  We were told that we were allowed to take as many pictures we wanted from the two holding rooms but we couldn’t take any photos once we got into the actual room with the celebrities.  Evangeline Lilly’s line was moving pretty quickly, but Capaldi’s was going quite slowly because he was spending quite a bit of time with each person.  While we were sitting down and waiting for our turn, Pearl Mackie walked into the room.  And she is the cutest tiniest person ever.  She brings such a positive energy into the room, smiling and waving at everyone.  She went over to her assigned area and a volunteer started asking if any of us were planning to meet Pearl as well.  She took groups over one by one to meet Pearl.  There were 2 groups in front of us that wanted to meet her and then it was out turn.
I knew that I wanted to get a selfie with her so I went over and told her handler what I wanted and then turned my attention to Pearl.  I grinned and held out my hand to shake hers saying, “Hi Bill, I’m Heather.” She started laughing and said, “Oh my god, I’ve been looking for you.”   We exchanged pleasantries and then I told her that I would love to get a selfie with her.  She said of course and then stood up to come around to the other side of the table.  I gave my phone to her handler and he said, “I’m sorry but I have to ask, what was that inside joke you guys shared.”  I explained that her character on Doctor Who had a girlfriend named Heather and that was my name so I just went with it.
As Pearl came around the table, I told her that I had seen her in “The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Nighttime” and absolutely adored her in it.  Her jaw kind of dropped and she said, “that was ages ago.”  I told her that I was so happy when she was announced as the companion because I loved her so much in the play.  I also got to see her announcement live because I was visiting our friends in London and they kindly let me turn on the tv so that I could see it live on the BBC.  She kept thanking me and then we turned our attention to the handler and took pictures. He kind of shouted out instructions and I don’t remember a lot of them, but I do remember him saying “Now do Sporty Spice” at one point.  And in my fuddled brain I gave my best Posh Smize.  
We finished taking photos and I turned my attention back to Pearl.  We chatted for a bit more about random things and then she kind of rubbed my back and told me it was wonderful to meet us and that she hoped to see us again soon.  
I spoke to the handler again and he showed me the photos, the first one he showed me he said, “You’re eyes are closed.” And I glanced back at Pearl and she was already in the process of pushing herself up to stand up and come back around the table.  But the guy continued, “But they should be good in all of these” and started scrolling through all 12 photos he had taken.  He got some of us interacting at the beginning where neither of us realized he was doing it and we are just looking at each other and smiling and I really love those photos a lot.  He was a lot of fun, he had a very dry sense of humor. Brittany had her photo taken with Nick Frost by him the day before and told him he had done the same thing for them. He shrugged and said he liked options. We said goodbye and thanked them again and went back to our spot in line.
Shortly after we finished with Pearl, it was time for Capaldi to take a break.  I’ll get into more of what we witnessed with him but when he got up to leave, Liz decided to go grab dinner since she needed to leave in a little bit for the Adventure Zone Live show.  Brittany and I discussed playing “Red Flags” but knew it wouldn’t be possible with just the two of us.  She joked that we should go ask Pearl if she wanted to play.  We didn’t do that, but Pearl was just sitting at her table by herself looking bored so I asked one of the volunteers if we could just go talk to her.  She had us wait a moment while she went to go talk to her handler who had stepped down to help out Evangeline Lily.  
He said sure so we went back up and talked to Pearl for while.  We asked her how she was enjoying her first Dragon Con and she said she really liked it that everyone was really nice, which isn’t always the case at conventions. She said sometimes the mood is really tense and the volunteers are rude but she was really grateful for how great everyone here had been.  I told her that was good to hear, that I had been to a mixture of both and that we had a convention back in our hometown that was very similar.  She asked where we were from and I told her and then said that we’d been lucky to have Catherine Tate and John Barrowman this year and she said she’d have to look into it.  I also told her that she was incredibly kind and really genuine and that meant a lot to us as fans.
I asked her how long she was in town and she said she was staying a few days after the convention so that she could explore the city a bit because what good is it visiting somewhere if you just stay inside a hotel for 5 days.  I teased that she was just going to stay long enough to get used to the time change and then fly back and have to do it all over again.   She laughed and said that the jetlag had hit her pretty hard this time around.  
Another couple came up to talk to her and offer her a suggestion of a place to eat, because she had mentioned during her panel that she really loved food.  The place they gave her was already on her list and she asked us if we had any suggestions or if there was anything that she absolutely had to get before she left.  I told her she had to get barbeque because its something the south is famous for.  She said she was going to try to go to a place where they had that and chicken.  
I asked her about her theatre work and she teased that I was asking for her CV.  I laughed and said okay what is your favorite work you’ve done. SHe said they all meant a lot to her for various reasons and I apologized saying theatre was my thing and I was love hearing what roles people have enjoyed and what their dream roles were. She asked me what my dream role was  and I told her Hope from “Anything Goes”.  She asked if I’d been able to see John Barrowman in that show.  When I said no, she said she had and it was really funny because this chair on one of the decks had broken and different actors kept coming in and sitting on it and falling down, and John had been on stage the whole time so he was the only one who knew about it.  So after about the 3rd actor did it he walked over and grabbed it and threw it off stage.  We both laughed about the magic of live theatre.  
She asked me who else I’d met at the Con and I told her that I had met Ricky Whittle and her and that was it. I was going to meet Peter and hopefully Mike Colter.  She said she’d had the opportunity to meet Mike in the green room and that he was so nice.  This of course only made me even more excited to meet him.
At this point we’d spent quite a bit of time with her so I started to move away and she said “Thanks for coming over again it was great talking to you.” And Brittany and I went back over to Capaldis line to wait.  This was by far the longest interaction I had with a celeb all weekend and it was pretty cool.  She’s hilarious and incredibly sweet and I’m really glad that I decided to get a photo taken with her.  I’d always adored Bill but this made me love the character and Pearl even more.

Beans & Toast: Coast to Coast
Tumblr media
“Jesus Christ, dad...she was a grade below me in high school!”
Connie du Pont’s breakfast was still steaming as she laid into her father’s romantic interests for the thousandth time.  He absolutely stank of cheap tequila and forgotten evenings, sitting down at the table to eat the fluffy scrambled eggs his daughter whipped up in the trailer’s meager kitchen.
“What, no bacon?”
***
The Somali coast, the Malacca Strait, the Caribbean...none of these places can hold a candle to the level of piracy around the Niger Delta, off the coast of Nigeria in western Africa.
It’s a pirate’s playground.  Where in other parts of the world, piracy can bemore about force, the Niger Delta is different.  Like border collie’s herding a flock of sheep, pirates can herd massive ships into the seas just off the western coast, and at that point, size and security don’t matter when you find yourself on your home turf.
The geographical location made pirate’s security a lot easier than the urban coastal towns in the Philippines or on the eastern coast of Africa, giving them free reign to operate with little interference.  But it’s the geographical features underneath the Atlantic in this stretch that give the pirates their biggest advantage.
Shallow waters dotted with rocky obstacles all over, it can be a disaster for a large ship manned by a captain unfamiliar with the submarine terrain.  Thousands of ships have met their fate in this stretch of the ocean, laying bare to the elements in a nautical graveyard.
You don’t see massive cargo ships steam through this part of the world.  It’s just too risky.  The Somali coast sees exponentially more traffic than this part...and yet despite that, three times the amount of ships are hijacked here.  It’s rare to make it through this stretch without at least being harassed, let alone attacked.
***
“Oi don’t want no part of this, Beans.  You hear me?  Oi’m not fockin’ around.”
Frank Toast had stared death down for a living, and now he’s absolutely petrified.  Beans didn’t judge the man he’d spent the better part of his career chasing around the world.  He’ll never forget hanging onto Toast’s arm, Toast dangling over the edge of a bridge after a high-speed chase down the Amalfi Coast in Italy.
It was the look...the “gotcha” smirk on Toast’s face as he clinked a set of handcuffs discretely hidden on his wrist onto Beans’ arm, mutually assuring any potential deaths.  A man like that doesn’t have the capacity to feel fear, in Beans’ experience.  And yet, here they were.
Beans thought about all those classes he took on the way to getting his PhD in Criminal Psychology.  About how the mere option of dying an anonymous, undignified death would be something a man with an ego like Toast’s would do anything to avoid.  About how, in their own personal experience, he couldn’t imagine Toast backing down from anything if it would guarantee his freedom.
***
The former Chocula sat in deep waters, the Nigerian coast visible through a set of strong binoculars.  Through another pair of binoculars, Abeo Chukwu-Ojhogar watched a Zodiac boat be lowered and begin to speed in his direction.
His nameless ship...rusty but sound...bristled with AK-47′s and Chinese-made RPG’s wielded by a crew who’s oldest member couldn’t have been past 20.  At 26, Chukwu-Ojhogar is already somewhat of an elder, a legend among the pirates in the region.
Just as the sun is about to set, the Zodiac pulls up alongside Chukwu-Ojhogar’s boat and two commandos wordlessly heave four giant black duffel bags before speeding off.  When the Zodiac returns to the former Chocula, Chukwu-Ojhogar hits his ship’s floodlight and escorts the cargo ship to its eventual target.
It was a good day.  They had agreed on two bags, not four.
***
“Jesus Christ, will you give me a break, darlin’?”
Preston du Pont was not an official member of the du Pont clan, something that he never was able to get over no matter how comfortable and affluent a life he had.  The illegitimate son of Pierre du Pont and his father’s Honduran nurse, Preston was a bastard child of aristocracy.  Shoved into the closet with fistfuls of cash, and forgotten by his family.
Dalton, Harvard, MIT...Preston blew through these schools, fueled by the chip on his shoulder.  He joined the Army, flew recon missions for MACV SOG in Cambodia and Laos, changing his last name to du Pont to piss off his father before he became Delaware’s governor, much to Pierre’s chagrin.  He even adopted a southern accent and lived in a trailer, to prove some point to the man who Preston knew didn’t care.
Working clandestine missions for the CIA for the next two decades, and all the years of drinking and whoring took its toll psychologically, because physically he didn’t look a day older than 60.  By the early 2000′s, he had set up a little private gig with his kids Connie and Tommy, contracting to intelligence services for covert logistics and intel work.
While Tommy might be the best pilot in the family, something Preston would begrudgingly admit, Connie is the brains of this operation.
“These eggs are shit, hun.”
***
Beans can’t stand Nigel Fitzsimmons.
The attaché from MI-6 was everything he couldn’t stand regarding the modern state of the intelligence community.  Mincing, overly bureaucratic, his overbite, it takes every ounce of Beans’ patience to keep from losing his temper every time he hears Fitzimmons’ pathetic rapping on his cabin’s door.
Deep breath, “yes Nigel?”
“Mmm...yes...good evening, sir.  I hope I’m not interrupting.”
Beans’ glare said more than any words could.
“Anyways sir, the prisoner says he has something he would like to discuss.  Should I set up the room?”
The way Fitzsimmons asked if he should set up the room pinged Beans’ instincts.  He thought to himself why he would find that strange?  Is it the way he asked?  Does he have an ulterior motive for setting up the room?  Why wouldn’t he just set the room up?
He steps into the interrogation room’s foyer, observes Fitzsimmons adjusting Toast’s restraints, and quickly stops the recording and disconnects the encrypted satellite link to MI-6.
***
“Dad, we got a message.”
“From Abeo?”
“Yea.  He’s escorting a bunch of mercenaries down the western coast of Africa.  Says they’re headed for Cape Town with a hijacked cargo ship.  White guys, not pirates.  Well equipped and trained.”
“No shit.”  Preston smiles to himself, while typing on his phone.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
“Nothing.”
“Are you texting Uncle Ben again?”
“Heh yea.”
Preston’s half brother has taken out numerous restraining orders, but when you’re sitting on an eight-figure trust fund with friends up and down both the diplomatic and intelligence communities, that’s not going to stop you from tormenting your family.  Preston shows his daughter the text.
“OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME THIS?!?”
“Lighten up, hun.  Tommy thought it was hilarious.”
“It’s not funny, dad.  Uncle Ben is a sweetheart and...wait...TOMMY SHOULD NOT BE TEXTING YOU WHILE HE’S ON A COVERT MISSION FROM A CLANDESTINE PRISON.”
“That’s why we got you in charge, Con.  You’re the steak, we’re the sizzle.”

Warning Signs Of Type 2 Diabetes - Mellitox Reviews
New Post has been published on https://thebestsolution4u.com/shop/warning-signs-of-type-2-diabetes-mellitox-reviews/
Warning Signs Of Type 2 Diabetes - Mellitox Reviews
Warning Signs Of Type 2 Diabetes – Mellitox Reviews
Warning signs of type 2 diabetes serves as one of the top ten killer diseases in the world. It continues to rise steadily with each passing year, with the World Health Organization estimating that about 700 million people will suffer from the disease come 2045.
Warning Signs Of Type 2 Diabetes – Mellitox Reviews
Warning signs of Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 95% of the affected cases in the world. It destabilizes earnings, costing households a lot in maintenance from medication to special diets. 
Mellitox desires to give people their lives back by eliminating the disease from their lives. This review delves into the supplement to see if it offers value. 
What is Mellitox Supplement?
Mellitox is a revolutionary formula, 100% natural, that can protect your health by balancing your blood sugar levels. This supplement repairs and restores the pancreas and liver function to boost the body’s capacity to control blood sugar levels.
One of the main features of Mellitox is its ability to restore the pancreas performance to produce insulin and let the body absorb it correctly for improving your overall health.

Mellitox helps the liver get rid of the harmful toxins, allows you to burn fat, and balances the glucose levels to maintain your health and increase your energy levels.
Warning Signs Of Type 2 Diabetes – Mellitox Reviews
MUST READ: Critical New Mellitox Ingredients Report – This May Change Your Mind!
How Mellitox Works
The company suggests that warning signs of type 2 diabetes develops when the brain prevents the body from maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
Research has all along known this disease forms when the body doesn’t know what to do with insulin, so fights it, or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin to absorb glucose into the cells.
But the reason behind this confusion has always puzzled researchers as they have never concluded why the body seems to fight itself.
This company has discovered that the body prevents insulin production when the brain imagines insulin as an enemy of the body and starts to fight it.
It was found that the hypothalamus, which houses insulin receptors, was the reason why insulin stopped working, but further investigation revealed that the magic stops at the blood-brain barrier when insulin gets marked off as the body’s enemy.
The body then develops warning signs of type 2 diabetes as it doesn’t have the power to balance blood glucose anymore.
More Information on Mellitox Can Be Found On The Official Website Here
The ingredients in the supplement attack the root of the problem by restoring the blood-brain barrier balance. It works through this system to restore the pancreas’ proper working, which produces the much-needed insulin.
Insulin works to allow the appropriate absorption of blood glucose into the cells to enable them to function at optimum energy.
The ingredients also create a leeway for fat-burning to take place in the body. This process allows for a person to lose weight naturally.
Some of the ingredients act as an adaptogen to help ease the body of stress, anxiety, and depression. Others make the cells insulin-sensitive to help them absorb blood glucose easier.
These nutrients also suppress enzymes associated with developing diabetic complications like vision loss and kidney damage. They also eliminate cholesterol and prevent further buildup.

Most folks are surprised because they have no idea how much their metabolism has been ruining their life. They get Meticore just thinking they want to break through their weight loss plateau. And all of a sudden, they have more energy and their sleep improves too!
What if I lose fat too fast?
This is actually really interesting question that I get asked sometimes. The results that we’ve highlighted today are incredible, if you lose weight too fast, I would suggest taking Meticore every second day rather than every day, and always consult with your doctor. Meticore is an extremely powerful remedy.
Even with that in mind, we always want to advise you to lose weight at a healthy, steady pace. Now, I know it can be exciting to see results that you’ve been waiting on for so long, and then you want to push yourself harder. But it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle in addition to taking Meticore, and that way you’re going to get the best long-term results.
Can I get it somewhere else online or at GNC?
No. Meticore is only available on official website. It is not available anywhere else, including online or in stores. The one and only place you can get Meticore is on this official website.
Currently we are only doing small production runs of these powerful capsules due to the significant costs to us to source the highest , purest quality ingredients of the natural plants found in this supplement. So right now, stock levels are low and demand is high. Make sure you reserve your bottles now while you still can!
How many bottles should I order?
As you’ve seen in the studies today, the doctors researching these natural ingredients recommend you take Meticore for at least 90 days to 180 days to ensure you reach your desired weight and lock in the results. That’s because if you are over 40 years old and more than 10lbs over weight, Meticore needs enough time to work throughout your entire body to get you back into balance and losing weight.
What about the guarantee?
Tumblr media
I’m confident that Meticore will give you the powerful support you need to address low core temperature, but I also know that no two people’s bodies work the exact same way. So a small number of people might find it doesn’t give them all of the benefits they were looking for. And that’s why every single bottle of Meticore comes with my personal 60 day 1OOo/o money back guarantee. If for any reason you’re unsatisfied with your results, you can just return what you haven’t used for a full, no questions asked refund.

Cara Hack Slot Online 2020
There are 2 ways to hack online slot game Malaysia and win big jackpot prizes. You can use this to hack slot machines using iPhone or Android:
1. Slot Hack Software
Some online players use a slot hack software to cheat the online slot game, similar to how Malaysians hack SCR888 918kiss casino slot games.

Kinds of Hack Software

There are many kinds of slot hack software online. But let's take the example of how players hack 918Kiss or SCR888.
One way to hack 918Kiss or SCR888 is through a hack software that 'scans' the 918Kiss or SCR888 app. What are they scanning for? They will scan all the games and show you which has highest chance of winning.
Reverse-Engineer RNG
The other way to hack slot games is to "reverse-engineer RNG". The video above shows a more complicated way of hacking 918Kiss or SCR888. It's not clear how the developer does it, but it looks like he's installed a hack software that will change the slot game's algorithm (RNG) so that the player will always get big wins and special game features.
Reverse Engineering the RNG or Random Number Generator means you're changing the way the online slot's reels spin and give random symbols. If you use the slot hack software, you will always get winning combinations!

Pros of a Hacking Software:

Cons of a Hacking Software:
It's risky to use a software to hack slot online. There are many scammers or penipu out in the internet that just want money from beginner players.
You have to pay if you want to get a good slot hack software. The price depends on the developer of the software. Hopefully you can bargain for a prize that you can both agree on.

2. Use Online Slot Game RTP, Hit Frequency, Volatility

Check Online Slot's RTP (Return to Player)
One way to know if the online slot is worth playing is by checking its RTP or Return to Player - the total amount player already bet that the slot is likely to give back over a period of time.
What you need to know is that you should play online slot games with high RTP (96% and above) and ignore the rest.
Understand Hit Frequency
Many players forget Hit Frequency because they're busy with RTP and Volatility, etc. But Hit Frequency is also important!
Hit Frequency - how often a slot game will make a winning combination vs. a losing combination
Slot Games with Higher Hit Frequency will have higher chances of hitting the winning combination!
High Volatility vs. Low Volatility
High Volatility - high risk (high bet), high reward (big jackpot)
Low Volatility - low risk (low bet), low reward (low prize amount)
For players with limited bankroll or money, try low volatility slots online (LOW reward but STABLE)
For high rollers, try high volatility.
Is it Illegal to Hack Slot Online?
There's no Malaysian gambling laws regulating online casinos, so if you get caught hacking a slot online, you can most likely get away with it.
But if you get scammed paying for a hacking software, there's no way to get your money back.
What else can I do to Win Online Slots if not by Hacking?
