OC in Fifteen
Thanks to both @drabbleitout and @pertinax--loculos for tagging me, this is neat! Because I was tagged twice, I will participate with two characters (Ben and Reagan across the Partners "series"*), totaling in thirty quotes.
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!
Tagging @drippingmoon, @sleepy-night-child, @ashen-crest, @zmwrites, @sleepyowlwrites, @druidx, and anyone else who wants to do this 👍🏽
Reagan—
"Alright, who's the boy? Is he too young to knock out? Doesn't matter—either way I'm gonna have words."
"Give me some credit; my head's not that big."
"I haven't seen you in two days. If I don't see you today I may actually die of neglect."
"We're here now, and we'll be here for the next three hours, so relax and don't hit my partner when he's trying to be nice."
"Your little guys could get through a brick wall. I'm not sure if I should be proud, but I kind of am, Ben."
"You still kiss your mommy? What a baby."
"You realize how monumentally full of shit you are, yes?"
"If I used one of those [bathrooms], I wouldn't have been able to enjoy this wonderful bonding moment between us."
"Oh, kid, don't ask, okay? My rapport with married women is nothing I want you to imitate."
"If you ever run your fuckin' mouth to a man pointin' a gun at your face again, I will yank your teeth out one by one. Am I clear?"
"Right, I'd forgotten the newest trend is to go spend money to see the performances of people you hate."
"Being standoffish with me is one thing, but when she hurts our kids, I get mad."
"Reality continues to elude you, doesn't it?"
"God dammit, I'm starting to wish Wise shot you in the face."
"You very well could be [my daughter]. Who knows how many kids I really have?"
Ben—
"Well, you ain't German, though you sho' can drink like you is."
"Drunken wrestling always ends well for the skinny kid."
"What gives? You tryin' to move the car with your mind now?"
"You kiddin'? I'm a continual source of pride for you."
"Oh, god, you're gonna kill me in the middle of fuckin' nowhere..."
"Ain't this what broke us up in the first place? How the hell d'you keep managin' to rope me into things?
"I've been sober for about two minutes since that night in '42."
"'Course you're doin' the right thing. But keep in mind, I ain't gonna someday shuffle off this mortal coil without you right there to watch me do it."
"Alright, your highness, where do you keep your crown so I can polish it with what'll be left of my brains when we're finished up there?!"
"The love I have for you cannot be contained in this tiny room, so I'm choosing to expand and unfurl it elsewhere."
"You've been hiding your worry from me since we were kids. I'd barely recognize it on you."
"What? He's the only person on Earth you won't let get a glimpse of you without pants? That doesn't make any sense. He wants it more than anybody else."
"No, sir, you threw produce at my head. I am telling my mother."
"What is this, 'Ben Gets Nothing' Week?"
"I'm gonna break his ribs. I'm gonna snap a piano in two halves, take one of them, and hit him in the ribs."

Sonic The Hedgehog's Takashi Iizuka Reflects On Sega's Road To The Dreamcast
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/sonic-the-hedgehogs-takashi-iizuka-reflects-on-segas-road-to-the-dreamcast/
Sonic The Hedgehog's Takashi Iizuka Reflects On Sega's Road To The Dreamcast
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last summer, we sat down with Sonic Team Creative Officer Takashi Iizuka to discuss his multi-decade career at Sega. We learn about his childhood fascination with becoming a manga artist, the transition from college life to working at Sega, and his early career developing games like Devi and Pii, Golden Axe 3, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Iizuka remembers the excitement and challenge during the transition from the Sega Genesis (known as the Sega Mega Drive in Japan) to the Sega Saturn, which allowed the team progress from 2D pixel art to 3D polygonal modeling.
Notably, the Sonic the Hedgehog lead reflects on the early Dreamcast days, moving to the United States to better implement western culture into Sonic Adventure 2, and finally, describes his emotions after hearing Sega was exiting the hardware business and ending production of the Dreamcast.

OC Kiss Week Day 7: Dare
WIP: Partners Pairing: Ben x Reagan Timeline: about 1957 I think, so between PI and PII, closer to PII. it's the direct aftermath of a Within Ten Years piece I've yet to write CW: none Rating: T Words: 1,458
***
Ben was surprised to hear Reagan up and puttering around in the kitchen as soon as he did. He glanced at the clock on the console table in the hallway as he passed and confirmed that it was, indeed, bordering on eight in the morning.
He stepped into the archway of the kitchen in the middle of an intense stretch, his arms above his head and hands knocking painfully into the top of the frame.
"Fuck," he grunted, wringing his fingers.
Reagan poked his head out from behind the refrigerator door and lifted his eyebrows at him. "You're up early."
Ben took a precursory glance at the stove and the counters, upon which laid a delightful spread of the early stages of breakfast. Two pans on the burners, ingredients for blintzes, packages of lox and cream cheese, as well as the carton of a dozen eggs Reagan had been digging in the fridge for a moment ago.
"I'm up early? Faye and Abby aren't even up yet, boy." Ben stood in the center of the kitchen, frowning at the pat of butter melting in one of the pans. "Have you opened my house for business or what?"
Reagan closed the fridge and tossed a brand new butcher's parcel on the counter along the rest of the breakfast items. "Sorry. Been craving a bacon sandwich real bad."
"Is this all for you?"
Reagan's brow pinched as he tossed the butter in the pan. "When have I ever done anything just for me?"
"Oh, I dunno, maybe all those times you went to bed with women who weren't your wife?"
Ben expected Reagan to take that less than well considering the circumstances of him staying the night at the Murray house. In all honesty, Ben felt a strong pang of regret the instant the comment left his mouth, but before he could self-flagellate, Reagan broke into a wide grin and picked out two eggs.
"You're right," he said sincerely. "Won't have to worry about that for much longer, will I?"
Sighing, Ben lowered himself into a chair at the table and rubbed his hands over his face. "You didn't really explain what happened."
"I didn't even get into the house." Reagan left the eggs to fry in the pan and crossed the kitchen to pour them both mugs of coffee. "I checked the mail and the thing was there. Then I came straight here."
"And you're sure they're divorce papers?"
Reagan scoffed. "I read them. Petition, summons, the whole shebang."
"Son of a bitch," Ben muttered. He slumped in his chair. "What's she asking for?"
Reagan set a mug in front of Ben. "Surprisingly, not a whole lot. Just enough money to buy a house with Frederick, I'm assuming, and—"
"Wait a fucking minute," Ben interrupted sharply, lifting his head from the hand propped up on the table. "Frederick? Is she..." He clutched his mug almost too tightly. "Is that what this is about?"
There was a moment when Ben thought he'd actually gone too far. Reagan leveled him with an out-of-character dark stare that reached into his chest with a needle and pierced his heart as if it were a water balloon. Then Reagan turned to put the percolator back on the counter as if nothing happened.
"She'd been reconnecting with him since we moved to L.A.," he said, portioning the bacon onto the pan with the eggs. "Small world, isn't it? Finding a childhood friend from Iowa living not too far from us all the way over here in California."
"What about Charlotte and Brady?"
Reagan bustled about, clearly distracting himself with the creation of the blintzes. "She's petitioning for full custody."
Ben gritted his teeth, digging his fingernails into the flesh of his cheek. "Meaning you'll only be able to see your kids on holidays and the odd weekend."
"She'll have the more stable household. She's got Frederick now, she'll have money for a new house...she's being very smart about this. No judge worth his salt will let me have shared custody."
Gulping down an angry mouthful of coffee, Ben shook his head. "You're a fucking celebrity, Reagan."
"A celebrity who's known around the world, quite publicly and to his own wife throughout the thirteen years they'd been married, as a man who could not for the life of him keep his dick in his fucking pants, Ben."
"You think she'll use that against you?"
"Why wouldn't she?" Reagan shot a cynical grin at Ben over his shoulder. "Why the hell wouldn't she? Wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone in their right mind use that against me or anyone else?"
Ben felt a weight crushing his chest, around the same spot where Reagan had popped his heart. "You..." He suppressed a growl of frustration, instead squeezing his eyes shut and taking a calming breath. "Yeah. Under normal circumstances, yeah, you're well in the wrong. But the first time it happened, you told her right away, and she made it clear that—Reagan, she made the fucking deal that you wouldn't sleep around when you were at home, and as far as she knows, as far as I know, you've kept to your end of the goddamn deal!"
"I was out of my mind, Ben," Reagan said firmly. His shoulders tensed as he mixed ingredients together in a large bowl. "I was off the fucking hinges to think that was acceptable."
"So you would've just...did it in secret, then."
Reagan was silent for as long as it took to toss another pat of butter onto the second pan. "There's just no hope that I could've behaved myself, is there?"
Though the question lanced Ben's heart yet again, he could not lie. "I love you more than practically anything else on this Earth," he said softly into his coffee. "Almost but not quite more than I love my own child. She's only two, though, so give it time."
Reagan snorted.
"Despite how much I love you, I can't sit here and tell you that this was never gonna happen. People just...don't understand what you're going through, and they're always gonna assume you're just a selfish prick who wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Carolyn probably didn't get it. Or, she got it until she realized there are other options than sitting at home while her famous husband fucked fans around the world. Either way..." He cringed. "Actions have consequences."
"Yeah." Reagan plated his eggs and seemed to realize only then that he planned everything out quite poorly, breakfast-wise. "...I gotta let the blintz mix sit."
"Get your bacon cooking and I'll deal with the rest," Ben said, standing to join Reagan at the stove.
"It's not...too bad," Reagan said half to himself as he flipped the bacon. "I'll be able to see my kids when I can, and I've got you...and by extension, Faye and Abby. I'll still have Adrian, my career, my house...my car..."
Ben shrugged, beginning to spread cream cheese on a bagel. "You'll always have me. You'll always have me. You'll have me and my family, my mother and the Jersey family, you've got your family in Ireland...you're not alone. I have complex feelings about your situation with Carolyn, but that's not news to you, and you know I'm in your corner regardless."
Reagan hooked an arm around Ben's waist. "Look at me."
Ben did so, unsurprised to receive a firm kiss in response. They smiled at each other, and Ben caught sight over Reagan's shoulder of Faye entering the kitchen at that exact second.
"Here we go," she said resignedly at the display, grabbing a cup from the cupboard.
Reagan laughed. "Heard you coming."
"I'm sure you did." Faye gestured to the foodstuffs. "Need help?"
"Not at all," Reagan cut in before Ben could say anything. "We've got it from here. Take care of the baby and we'll be fine."
Faye made an impressed face at Ben and took her coffee out of the kitchen.
Ben, on the other hand, watched Reagan's face closely. He didn't miss the flex of his jaw muscle or the uncomfortable shift of his eyes over his bacon, and Ben's stomach sank quickly and heavily into his feet.
He reached over to snatch Reagan's chin in his hand and forced him to look him in the eye.
"Stop," he demanded. "Stop overthinking."
He knew he hit the nail on the head when Reagan pinched his bottom lip between his teeth, his eyes dropping to Ben's for a gut-fluttering moment. "Funny comin' from the Olympic gold medalist in overthinking."
Ben slapped him, earning another loud bark of laughter. They continued to cook breakfast, eating with Faye and Abby and forgetting, for just a little while, what lay ahead for Reagan.

BlackRock's Spot Bitcoin ETF Application: A Game Changer for Regulators?
Tumblr media
The moment finance giant BlackRock filed to create a spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S., market watchers wondered whether the world's biggest asset manager had a better chance of approval than the many rejected predecessors. They quickly fixated on a mechanism within the application that allows suspicious trades to be flagged to the authorities.
Influence of Surveillance-Sharing Agreement (SSA)
BlackRock's application sparked a flurry of follow-on filings with the now-ubiquitous Surveillance-Sharing Agreement (SSA) added. But what's more likely to influence the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s decision is an information-sharing deal that flips the position of power in the arrangement and gives regulators the right to demand extra background.
Information-Sharing Deal: The Power Shift
While the SEC's requirement for surveillance sharing to prevent market manipulation of crypto is not new – it first appeared in the Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF application in 2017 – details of a "Coinbase and NASDAQ Information Sharing Term Sheet" shared with CoinDesk point to something more.
Push vs. Pull: The Nuance
The nuance here can be characterized as the difference between push and pull. The SSA concerns data surveillance carried out by the spot exchange, Coinbase (COIN) in this case, which can be pushed to regulators, ETF providers, and listing exchanges if deemed suspicious. Information-sharing agreements, in contrast, allow regulators and ETF providers to pull data from the exchange.
The Scope of Information Sharing
The information in question could be about specific trades or traders, and the agreement also compels a crypto exchange to share data up to and including personally identifiable information (PII), such as the customer's name and address. Information-sharing agreements do not appear in any of the spot Bitcoin ETF filings, but the structure is found in other markets. An important caveat is that an information-sharing request has to be very specific, not dissimilar to a subpoena, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Ensuring Success of ETFs
"It can't just be a fishing expedition, where it's all of the information attached to any trade that was made between two given points in time," said the person, who asked to remain unidentified. "The obvious concern is that crypto traders, almost by definition, don't like having information shared about them. It's sort of anathema to the ethos of crypto in general. But for the ETF to be successful, have to do it."
Bitcoin ETF Application History
Going back to 2017, the SEC has highlighted the need for Bitcoin ETF applications to have a surveillance-sharing agreement with a regulated market of significant size, but firms have lacked clarity and an objective standard when it comes to interpreting this. The inclusion of an information-sharing agreement, as opposed to simply surveillance sharing, makes sense because it means an ETF is not reliant on an unregulated market, said Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management. Bitwise has applied for an ETF numerous times.
Approval Ratings
The combination of surveillance sharing and information sharing is a structure known to brokers and exchanges in equities markets, where the regulator has the authority to request more information about the end client's trading history. Whenever a broker has a client that sends an order to Nasdaq, for example, and that order is flagged as suspicious by the exchange's SMARTS surveillance system, then the broker and the exchange are required to file a suspicious activity report (SAR). Regulators investigating a SAR can go on to this "second step," said Dave Weisberger, CEO of crypto trading platform CoinRoutes, which is requesting PII to identify whether the same beneficial owners are behind a given set of trades, creating a consolidated audit trail. "Coinbase, Nasdaq, and BlackRock are likely saying that if there is suspicious activity – and they are surveilling for it – then the regulator can request who's doing it, but they're not just going to give out PII willy-nilly. There is going to have to be suspicious activity. That is the equivalency here," Weisberger said in an interview, adding: "If that is true, I believe the SEC will not only approve this ETF but will approve it and take a victory lap. And considering how unpopular this SEC is, I suspect they need to do that now."
Conclusion
BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF application, coupled with innovative surveillance-sharing and information-sharing agreements, has the potential to reshape the regulatory landscape. By allowing regulators to pull data from exchanges and uncover suspicious activities, these mechanisms provide a more robust framework for overseeing the crypto market. As the SEC weighs the advantages and concerns associated with these agreements, the decision on approving the ETF will likely be a turning point for the future of cryptocurrency regulation.
