Introduction: (This part is unnecessary, it's only to explain the general views and RP of this campaign)

In this game, being a socialist is tough, especially in terms of coups and recovering the economy without sacrificing too much.
Not many people support your ideas and most find them abhorrent, so do not be too open about your ideology and be polite, especially with Lucian and Iosef Lancea.
My Rayne's dream is to truly unite Sordland and help all of it's citizens, bluds, agno-sordish, women to get true equality, to do that he wants to remove the Bergia Semi-Autonomous Zone and reform the constitution.
He is a democratic socialist that wants to reform society from the top, in order to do it he will do whatever he needs to. He is not above underhanded methods and deceit to the betterment of Sordland and he will be making deals with many people he finds distateful. (Alphonso, Wiktor, Walter Tusk, Marcel Koronti, Gloria Tory, Albin Clavin and Heron Garaci)
Economically, my Rayne actually studied economy in university and learned the best ways to implement his "four year plan". He plans to be very focused in the fight against corruption and purge the administration of the Old Guard.
His strategy to recover the economy focuses in increasing foreign collaboration (especially from the CSP and Agnolia, as he distrusts most ATO nations), reforming taxes to redistribute wealth and improving production alongside infrastructure to stimulate industry despite nationalisation.
About the energy industry, he sees Gasom as a threat and wants to increase his influence over it.
Socially, although he doesn't think vanguardism is the best aproach to making Sordland better, he is uncompromising in his welfare reforms (he sees the privatisation of state services as a crime against his citizens) and seeks to improve everyone's rights and living conditions as much as possible.
He thinks that Sordland's military is an opportunity to increase it's international reputation and he wants to make it more impressive to scare Rumburg. He wants to end the BFF to make way for a peaceful reconciliation with the bluds.
Personally, my Rayne is extremely loyal to his country and it's people (bluds, agno-sordish and sords alike) spending almost all his energy in working for it. When he isn't working he spends time with his beloved family. He is currently trying to quit tobacco and alcohol to make for a better example for both his citizens and son Frank. He also is very trusting and polite to all of his citizens (including his cabinet, they are his workers after all)

Prologue:

Born in a middle-income family. (+1 personal wealth) (needed to get everything we need).
Study Economy to have an easier managing Sordland's recovery (you will study it and disagree with all your professors).
Protest with the students and don't back down (you will stand for your rights)
Join a human rights group (to have an easier time managing international relations, also it fits the character)
Support your wife (you will actually pass the Women's Liberation Act, so you are actually sincere)
Join the Red Youth (the nationalists will hate you regardless, so why not)
Vote for the United Sordland Party and generally support Soll until Alphonso is voted in (at first you believe that Sordland has no other alternatives other than him and later you prefer him to an uncompromising privatiser) (the conservatives will trust you a bit more)
Escort the refugees back (letting them through damages the military's opinion and you are very loyal to Sordland, even if you personally disagree with the orders)
Work to make the country better, accept Soll's offer and sacrifice family time. (It also increases the party's opinion of you)
When Soll leaves, be happy about it and choose to support Alphonso and the party, even though you disagree with his privatisation (You think that he will at least democratise Sordland)
Dedicate yourself to the party and it's success.
Once Alphonso demontrates his absolute ineptitude in both politics and economy advise him to step down. (he will listen to you and make GASOM negotiations possible)
Finally, promise to enact democratic reforms. (you do believe in democracy, you just want to enlighten Sordland first)

Promises:

Planned Economy, Align East, Retain Relaxed Immigration and Improve Healthcare.

Turn 1: B(8) PW(2)

For the inauguration speech focus on change and hope, our problems and promise to eliminate poverty and wave at the crowd (remember to always be inclusive there aren't just sords watching you)
For the political briefing agree to working with the reformists in the constitution reform. (you want democracy)
For the economic briefing listen to Symon's alarmant data and decide to promote a planned economy (Fun Fact; All the people in this meeting will be gone by reelection except Gus).
For the media briefing be open to Koronti's suggestion and accept the meeting (you would like to let the press be free, but you think that the old guard could use it against you to stop the reforms)
Veto the Electoral Campaign Finance Bill (it's undemocratic and unfair)
Reject the initial mega-project (only the second one will give improved infrastructure and it drains too many funds early on)
Buy 2000 shares of Armadine industries, it will double and be used to "persuade" people PW(-2) (0)
For the inauguration, tell the interviewer you welcome Ricter's statement and say that no political party deserves to be silenced. Later you will have a little jumpscare (Bernard will come greet you. I actually got scared when I saw him for the first time in 2.0)

Turn 2: B(8) PW(0)

Reassure your family. (your country is the most important, but you do love your family)
In the emergency meeting Lileas will tell you that United Contana is interfering with the Red Youth (obvious lie, dismiss her as always) and Iosef will tell you about Rumburg (say you might increase both law and defense budgets, to give the impression that you care about them)
For Tusk's visit we accept his second bribe, do not tell your personal spy. (Wealth Redistribution) (it has no consequences unless you actually do what he demands) PW(+2) (2)
To react to the unrest visit afected towns (by far the best option, it lowers unrest and increases support)
Don't enact an Economic Relief Plan (you need the budget and the modifier it gives you goes away)
Accept Koronti's deal. (You could do without it, but then you would need to nationalise his company to avoid capital flight and we need all the budget we can get)
Attend Bernard's Funeral, let red youth pass without security and do a good speech (you can say whatever you want)
In the diplomatic meeting I always choose to be diplomatic towards Rumburg (although we cannot kick them out of OMEC), you will survive if you decide to close the embassy (because we will join CSP).
In the meeting for the constitutional reforms they will tell you it will be difficult. (they are right)
Veto the Tourism and Cultural Preservation Act. (I would like to pass it, but it doesn't synergize with our strategy and we need the budget) (tourism will stabilize eventually anyways)
Meet with Hawker and Garaci and refuse to declare an emergency. (obviously)

Turn 3: B(8) PW(0)

Have a Barbecue with Franc. (reassure him, tell him about your past without holding back and say you will always be there to listen about his problems)
Your projected economic growth will now turn yellow and your Four Year Plan will start to be implemented.
When going to the presidential visit to Narbel you can give Serge the money, although I doubt he needs a million sordish ren to give an education to his family in my state run universities PW(-2) PW(0) (don't worry nobody will assassinate you, so you can pass on this if you want)
On the presidential visit to Narbel listen to the concerns of Ciara and Paskal and say that you are interested in signing the Worker's Rights Bill, tell them that you wish to strike a balance between the economy and its laborers. (they will be your allies in this campaign and they will sort out your welfare)
In the meeting with Manger and Alphonso; when talking to Gus say that you want to talk about the development here, say that you are intrigued by his vision, say that Alphonso knows how to make an entrance, tell him you will put people before profits, insist on Narbel's living standards, say "support the business" and say it feels very hands on deck.
When talking to Alphonso; tell him it's a pleasure to see what he has built from the inside, tell him we all yearn make a contribution, tell him you empathise with him, tell him foreign investors make sense, tell him that if his analisis is correct it will make returns, ask him if we could keep this between Sordland and Gasom, tell him that if we invest in Gasom the company must improve the conditions in Narbel, tell him you need concrete actions not just words, invest in Gasom alone, tell him you must adress the concerns as they jeopardize the administration and ask for better housing, access to healthcare and education.
Finally say you trust he will follow up on his promises and that you want to face the crowd head-on. B(-2) (6)
Adress the protestors and leave via car.
In the adress to the protestors say that you are here to bridge the gap between Gasom and it's employees, you aren't blind to their struggles, say that you understand Denis' skepticism, say that you understand their concerns and are listening and tell the reporter about the succesful negotiations and say that today is a victory. Then say that Sordland will invest alone to undescore it's commitment to self-reliance, say that you appreciate them as an old Red Youth member and say that dialogue has only started and you look forward to their continuing conversations. (everyone will celebrate this and you will be seen as a compassionate leader)
In the stability order of 1954 you decide not to ban the Young Sords as you think that will radicalize them further and want to protect stability.
Don't tell Livia about the changes and propose the new constituion that will look like this:
-Presidential Vetoes: Limit them with a 3/5 majority override. (you want to stop future tyrants but Sordland is a Presidential Republic, removing them goes too far)
-Remove Supreme Court's Voting Rights (necessary to restore the separation of powers)
-Impeachment of the President: The assembly and Supreme Court may impeach with majority in both (you control the assembly anyways and this will keep future tyrants on their toes)
-Appoitment of Ministers: They require a confidence vote. (This is to make the assembly happy and you find it useful to stop possible future crazy ministers)
-Electoral Threshold: 8% Threshold (you want the WPB and CPS in the assembly but you don't want to make Sordland unstable with a 3% threshold)
-Presidential Decrees: Do not change. (in your opinion, this power of the executive branch is balanced by the impeachment and you find it necessary to bring change in the future)
-Term Limits: Limit of 2 terms. (you want to avoid another Soll at all costs)
-Immunity of Justices: Justices may be impeached by the assembly. (you want to purge the Supreme Court and ensure there is no more corruption in the future)
-Member of Honor Rights: Do not change. (You are no sollist but you think this will antagonize your party too much and that he could make him a martyr if he were to be tried) (you prefer him to be forgotten)
Veto the G.R.E.E.N act. (you think it's important to take care of the environment but you can do that after you recover the economy on the next term)
Meeting on the Energy Protection Act of 1932: Be respectful of everyone's opinions but you have your plan, repeal the act entirely. (you will do a Norway inspired oopsy here, you will see how later)
Dinner with the Business Council members: Try to be polite with the pieces of shit and ignore Tusk after the dinner. (being with them gives me rashes, it is best to do it quickly)
In the budget allocation meeting make a statement: "years ago we gathered to bring change", don't comment on religion, say that you must prioritize critical branches and say that you should spend as much as possible. (Increase budget for all ministeries) B(-12) (-6)

Turn 4: B(-6) PW(0)

Pass the Worker' Rights Act. B(-1) (-7) (it is high time to enact this vital reforms, disregard the concerns of the exploitators, if they cannot meet this basic demands they deserve no business)
In the budget allocation of Law Enforcement meeting give the funding to Nia and form the Anti Corruption Police. (They will rid the state of the Old Guard)
In the evening walk with Monica treat her well and let her give a speech in the festival. (you will have to cancel it to compromise with Gloria)
Regional Investment Decision: Invest in Lorren. (this boosts the Morna Port, gives a surplus of coal, synergizes with our strategy, prevents the energy crisis and increases public opinion) B(-2) (-9)
Tax Reform Meeting: Increase taxes for large corporations and mantain for medium and small businesses. B(+2) (-7) (This is needed to avoid the trade war, unfortunately you cannot afford to decrease taxes to small and medium businesses)
In the visit to the school, be disapproving of the policies but don't take Soll's portrait down.
Briefing on the proposal of education reform: Reform education but don't privatize.
(If you have -7 budget or more after the education meeting the superpower trade war does not happen)
Gruni Rural Investment Plan: Initiate New Crop Research. B(-1) (-8) (synergizes with the investment in Lorren and future United Contana Investments)
In the meeting with Gloria: Greet her politely, tell her it's all in the name of democracy, tell her you would never betray the party, tell her to let you explain why the reforms are necessary, tell her the people demand change, that the decrease is necessary to democratize the elections, say that the change stays, say that this will benefit the party, say you cannot give concessions and take Monica off the schedule.
Don't play chess and relax at home. (it's the least you can do after ruining your wife's speech)
In the meeting with Albin he will say he cannot support you, you will promise him the VP position. (you won't give it to him, don't worry)

Be polite and accept the first Agnolian Trade Deal, don't accept the alliance or helijland's recognition. B(-1) (-7) (this helps to recover Agnolia later on without antagonizing Valgsland)
Be polite and accept the second Wehlen Trade Deal that only closes the borders. B(+2) (-5) (This helps to recover Bergia, it makes bluds a little angry but it stabilizes relations with Wehlen and is very helpful)
In the assembly speech about the reforms say that the assembly has always been overshadowed, prepare Sordland for a more democratic era, rebalance the branches of government, focus on unity and setting aside our differences. (do not mention Soll or the USP)

Turn 6: B(-5) PW(4)

Invest in the Morna Port. B(-2) (-7) (this gives green infrastructure)
In the meeting on the escalating Bergia situation choose to aprove Nia's plan. (we will use this to negotiate later with the USP later, you don't really mind between the two options but you don't want to agree with Lileas)

In the healthcare budget meeting keep healthcare state controlled and improve treatment in rural areas.

Spend vast sums of money to sway MP's. PW(-4) (0)
When attending Victory Day remind Richter that he is negociating with racists and release the statement with the PFJP. (This is needed to change articles 6 and 7)
Very High Gasom Returns. B(+6) (-2)

Turn 7: B(-2) PW(0)

In the call with Koronti you agree to nationalize Tusk's company for him. (This will give us oligarch support while also nationalizing companies)

In the results of the economic direction you will see Tusk getting angry, I chose not to escalate as he doesn't have power any more. (Koronti is on our side, so capital flight won't happen)
Veto the Unified Language Act. (prohibiting the teaching in schools of a minority's language, really?)
In the confrontation before the vote be polite, explain that you had to do this because Faith Ejall is offering to end the BFF, wait and concede to all of her demands except the Bergia Autonomous Zone, compromise in it's centralization (this way we also avoid arresting Ejall) (This will make them happy and this was your plan all along, bankrupting Gasom and also preventing bludish protests)
Frens Ricter will tell you that he cannot support the reforms anymore, tell him to cut the crap and stop with his personal ambitions.
In the Assembly vote take the good luck charm (although it isn't needed) and make sure to tell Gloria to speed up the voting, after that, leave Soll be. (179 Ayes and 72 Nays)
In the meeting after the vote, refuse Ricter's alliance. (he thinks that is possible after what he just tried to do?)

In the dinner with Isabel, it will be a tough affair so I will write the conversation that works; wait for her to order, stand up for a handshake, good to see you Justice Edmonds, mrs. Edmonds?, get the salad too, how is the situation in the supreme court?, what do you think about the proposal itself?, Do you not approve of those?, we need a proper balance of power, I know I can't do a lot (without this it doesn't work), I thought you would agree on that, to ensure the new processes are executed with transparency, mrs. Edmonds please help us we have to be together in this, the judiciary shouldn't have legislative powers, I am no malenyevist, don't be this will open the door to further reforms, it must have the power of judicial review, it plays an essential role in ensuring each branch recognizes the limits of their own power, the threshold can lead to a political crisis in the future, nothing to worry about judges cannot be impeached that easily, stay silent. (This is the only combination that works, be careful)
Send Lucian to reach out to Judge Heron and offer him to be chief justice. (just in case, you know)
Attend the court decision anouncement and be reassuring. (7 judges will vote for the reform)
You have acomplished your promises and passed the constitution, congratulations!!!
In the cabinet meeting on the results of the vote, let Petr talk, say you have a new focus and plan forward (My objective is making Sordland socialist so I change the manifesto, but you can campaign for public opinion if you want) and finally start to impeach the Chief Justice.

Trade Talks with Valgsland: He will see you as the comrade you are, be pleasured to meet him, be interested in meeting Malenyev, you cannot ally Valgsland (the tariffs of Lespia take 1 budget from you), recognize Helijland for 1 budget.

In the meeting about the escalating situation with Rumburg approach the incident with diplomacy and organize a military parade.
In the meeting about potential alliances don't show your colours in Iosef's presence and accept the visit, a plain welcome makes sense in this case. (Malenyev dislikes extravagance and needless militarism)

In the TV interview tell Sacher about Rumburg's aggression, say that Petr and you took responsability together and say that Sordland has nothing to do with the invasion but Valgsland has the right to intervene, Sordland could intervene as a peacekeeping force, it broke your heart to see what happened on Wehlen, how to distinguish militants from civilians. (Rumburg won't be expelled from OMEC unfortunately)
Meet with Lileas and do whatever you want. (It doesn't matter anymore)
Celebrate the military parade. I am sure our state of the art air force and navy is intimidating.

Turn 11: B(-2) PW(1)

Do the speech and be reelected. (congratulations!)

Conclusions:

Anton Rayne ends his first term having made most of his objectives a reality, the military is extremely powerful and scary, that and CSP membership has secured Sordland internationally.
Corruption has been tackled, human, worker's, minority and women's rights have improved and Bluds and Sords have began to reconciliate with a constitution that is truly inclusive.
Sordland's economy is recovered, infrastructure and production are much better and the recently bankrupt Gasom can be nationalized next term (this was achieved without increasing energy prices). All regional economies are booming and taxes are redistributed.
Welfare improved by leaps and bounds without compromising state control over it, literacy rates are improving, rural healthcare quality has increased, disabled people are now safe, working conditions are improved and homelessness rates are reduced.
Organised crime is a problem that we can now deal without Lileas, the BFF has been crippled, they can be erradicated next term and unrest is low across the nation after the discovery of the Bernard Circas conspiracy and Old Guard purge.
Sordland is now a member of the CSP, we will have to deal with that but I personally think it's the best sphere to be in. Agnolia isn't very angry with us yet and Wehlen relations are stable. Rumburg won't dare attack us anytime soon and have no nukes to throw.
Rayne's family is happy, he doesn't smoke or drink anymore and he has only lost three ministers during his term. He is ready to deal with four more years.

In short, in September it will be 4 years since I started learning about day trading. I had an AHA MOMENT in December. I still took two months to sort things out and took a 25k challange. I didn't want to buy bigger ones because I didn't believe that someone would really pay me.
I passed the challange, and after two weeks of passing, I had my first payment. $2000 - 20% = $1600. With $1,000, I bought a challange of 200k, but in the name of my brother, whom I am learning to trade. While we were going through the 200k challange, I got to the second payout at 25k $3200 - 20% = $2560. At the moment when I requested the payment, we were live on the 200k account.
Then I received an email from risk management that two accounts were being used at the same IP address. (The rule of that prop company is that the sum of the capital must not exceed $200,000). We didn't think about the IP address, we thought it shouldn't have the same name. And when I stop and think, that's where I turned out to be stupid and I admit my mistake, I just didn't think. But that situation disappointed me so much that I got lost in trading. As if I no longer know what I'm looking for, and where I'm looking.
After that I rested for 2-3 weeks. (Forced vacation, because I was disappointed and I was full of everything).
I recently took a 100k account, passed the first stage and now I'm stuck on the second. I played a little. At one point I was at $101,800, and I saw an A+ setup on bitcoin. In order for the challange to end as soon as possible, I placed two limit orders and wanted to close the second phase of the challange. I entered one trade with 1300 dollars, and another with 1000. I was full of confidence. The trade hit the stop loss, there I fell to approx. 99,200-300. Annoyed, I enter another position, and lose 1 percent there. Tomorrow day i lost another 2-3 % , and now I am in a situation where I am at 95,200.
Bro, my head is exploding. I don't know what I'm hitting anymore. I don't know what I'm looking for and what I'm looking at anymore. Does anyone have friendly advice if they have found themselves in this situation? I know that I am going in the right direction globally, because I have not had a funded account since February, which I failed. I used to be without these because I'm stupid.
My head is playing with my thoughts.
My strategy : I trade only crypto. Why? Because crypto has much more accessible information that is not available for forex. Long short ratio, liquidations stats, live open interest, and many other.
Risk reward ratio ? 1:1 , why ? When people go to casino play roullete, they think its 50/50 chance. But in reality, the casino has small advantage. Roullete wheel has 18 red, 18 black, BUT also 2 green numbers. Anytime it hits green ones, casino wins. Casino win chance : 20/38 = 52.63 % , player win chance : 18/38 = 47.37 In long run, casino wins. I have my edge , and i use 1:1. My stops are wide. Thats works fine for me. I always take care, cuse greed kills.
Time frame ? Mostly 1 min and 5 min . I see opportunities on bigger time frames to, but i use that info for bigger picture, and use it for smaller ones. My trades last for 1h to 3/4 max. I dont like to be longer in positions, cuse my emotions play with me.

How to Use the NMSGlyphExchange Search Bar
Tips for using the search bar

• Unless you are looking for something very specific, it's best to use a few keywords in the search bar. Try sticking to a color and a type of item. (for example: red exotic, blue experimental multi tool)
• You can click on a post flair to filter submissions to only show posts of that specific post flair. On top of that, you can also search keywords in a specific post flair search. (For example: click on the "Starship/ Euclid" flair and then search green fighter)

Advanced searching
In the search box at the top of the page input this "flair:(?=CATEGORY/GALAXY)KEYWORD". Replace the GALAXY, CATEGORY and KEYWORD with what you're looking for. e.g "flair:(?=Fauna/Euclid)Diplo".
You can search for these parts of a submission:

• Author: The user who submitted the post. For example, ```author:KurganSPK```
• Flair: The text of the link flair on the post. For example, ```flair:Starship/Euclid/3.7```
• Title: The submission title. For example, ```title:Alpha```

You can also search multiple fields at once:

• For example, ```flair:starship/euclid title:Alpha```

Field names are case sensitive. When making a multi-word field search, wrap the query in double-quotes. Single-quoted field searches are not supported. Example: flair:"Multi Word Text"

• Our (external) web app also has advanced search features.
• Drawings of all ships parts are available to click on and search by.

I've posted a lot of what im about to say before so this is just me combining everything to hopefully make the unanswered questions that you have clearer. If you any questions (probably hundreds ahaha) just let me know and I'll try my best to explain. Sorry this is so long as well.
Siobhan is Lilith. I have zero doubt about this. The symbolism with the owls, wild dogs, demonic connections plus the babies and the need to take over the male world makes this theory so clear. This gives her a backstory and explains how she gained powers and why she has been around for so long. It also further explains her motives.
https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/people-cultures-in-the-bible/people-in-the-bible/lilith/
Siobhan, takes desperate women looking to have it all including having a child and take advantage of that. The women get to decide, to either give up their child and have exactly what they desire or not. However, the one's that see Siobhan's vision and have the qualities to do so are able to join the cult. This group are called the Delicates, a group of satanic witches. The oppressed becoming the oppressors.
Ivy, a long lasting member, died during birth and was rebirthed by Siobhan. Ivy and her two children join the cult and Siobhan gives them all powers. At some point, Ivy lashes out onto Adeline, throwing her across the room, causing her to bleed and then spitting on her. The blood spat lands besides Adeline's lip and Ivy notices this and smears blood on both her own chin and Sonia's, and then declaring how they're now blood bound. The mark is now permanently on all the cult members and soon to be members chins. Adeline doesn't approve of most of what's happening in the cult, just because she was born into it, doesn't mean its for her, and eventually she leaves and Siobhan takes away her power.
At some point, Siobhan meets Dex's dad and later births Dex, a human, a special creation that isn't a demon for the first time ever. Something Siobhan thought would be impossible. Adeline knew about Dex and eventually married him to "give her the middle finger" which is why Adeline didn't want to have kids with Dex. Virginia, Dex's mum, takes care and raises Dex however, she is also drained of blood constantly, which is used for experiments and feeding the babies. Siobhan makes a deal Dr Hill to provide her the mother's babies and she'll make him the most popular fertility specialist and most good looking in NYC. He just has to work for her.
For leaving the cult and marrying Dex, Adeline is coldly killed. Talia, her best friend, managed to join the cult through just being around Adeline. She is also instructed to match Dex with Anna since Talia is also close with him.
Nicolette stalked Anna as a child and implanted all the qualities needed for her to be a perfect maker for the new demon babies. Qualifies such as 'selfish, entitled, vain and ambitious'
Once Anna is older, Siobhan meets her during an IVF meet up and soon she becomes Anna's PR. She is also the reason Anna goes and sees Dr Hill. The Delicates, are evil and mischievous. They are constantly messing with Anna, hallucinations and appearing randomly and watching over Anna. They like to play games and mess with people, including Adeline, making her play the knife game and getting her to try and guess who was the masked witch even while restrained.
The dolls Anna finds aren't so much VooDoo dolls but more so showing the events that will happen or have happened to Anna. Mangled leg doll- paralysis or snake legs, the doll with hair missing and blood- Anna loosing hair and bleeding, the doll with nails in its stomach- intentional miscarriage etc. These dolls are all placed in areas they know Anna will find them while also creating a pentagram. The dolls act like warnings and also directly telling Anna whats gonna happen to her to her face without making it obvious, because the witches are dicks lol. The dolls show the witches plans.
Dex eventually meets Cora, an assistant that works at client simply to pay off her student loans and they sleep together, chesting on Anna. Not only that, he buys her an apartment and sets up cameras so she can watch him and Anna whenever. She slowly became obsessed with Anna, wanting to be her until Dex broke the relationship off, causing her to feel rage and she ultimately attempts to destroy Anna's happiness by moving appointment dates around, leaving medicine out and breaking into the apartment and scaring Anna during the night. Cora also sexual assaults Anna. Cora eventually regrets her actions and during the Oscars she meets up with Anna. When she realises Anna knew who she was she snapped again and revealed everything to her, including the fact that Cora knows that Dr Hill does horrible stuff behind the scenes.
Nicolette is assigned the task to watch over Anna in the house that Talia allowed them to stay in.
Mrs Preecher only wants to warn Anna, about everything she went through is constantly following Anna everything to get her attention. She tries to warn all the women she believes is involved in the cult somehow. She is later killed by the group and her blood is used in experiments.
Siobhan uses men to have babies, like Dex's dad and Hamish. She grants these men and others with power and fame. Siobhan working for Hollywood also shares light into the demoic and satanic practices within Hollywood that's been going on.
Ivy murdered Anna's child in the hospital, causing the miscarriage. Later Anna goes down into the basement and sees a secret tunnel. This is where Anna sees experimented babies in glass jars and she is then kidnapped and the new demon child is created inside Anna.
During the Oscars, Siobhan asks Anna how much she wants the Oscar, Anna says do anything. Siobhan touches Anna's stomach and says "anything?" Anna nodes and Siobhan congratulates her just before her win is officially announced, showing Siohad full control. Then they kiss, sealing the deal, a kiss of death. This also goes back to when Miss Preecher kisses Anna in episode 1 during a hallucination with blood pouring out her mouth after ripping out her tongue.
Anna sees her mother while she is on stage, possibly another gift from Siobhan for giving up the baby.
Now for the finale episode, the real pain in the butt for me to work out but I think I got it. I'll just discuss everything I think was important.
"My little spies" Siobhan announces when the owl and cat appear. Meaning these two were always watching Anna, from the skies, trees, home and everywhere.
Anna wakes up in a red version of her old apartment. I believe this is hell and after Anna was stabbed in the back and lost so much blood already during birth, I think she died, like Ivy did and was rebirthed and is now in hell with the rest of the witches. The paintings are screaming at her and calling her names, the rooms are coloured blood red and Siobhan even waters a tree with blood. Not very 'Earthly' and they're all satanic.
Siobhan tells Anna that Dex's sperm and Siobhan's eggs were used to create the perfect breed.
We learn that the witches recruit who want to have it all, a career, motherhood and marriage. Exactly what Anna wants.
Siobhan paralysed Anna for going back on the agreement by trying to take the baby back. Anna also notices Siobhan did that to her when she see the blood on Siobhan's nail.
Anna enters a room filled with babies and blood storage containers. In the centre there is a blood/ organ fountain for decoration, its hell, its gonna be fucked.
Siobhan kills Ivy for killing her son. She does it quickly and coldly. This could mean the reason there are so many witches is because she keeps killing them, she doesn't care and neither does anyone else in the cult, they even killed Adeline and probably many before without hesitation. "Will she resurrect?" Talia asks and Siobhan says "she doesn't need to" showing how Siobhan is in control over their lives, she can choose for them to be dead or not.
The lack of babies in the room is because they kill many for experiments, blood for youthfulness and possibly for not being pure enough. Talia's basement had an entire corridor of dead babies.
The demons being made are being built to have strong and super qualities, strength, swiftness, ruthlessness etc. But the ones made made with Siobhan's eggs and Dex's sperm will be the most powerful, charging the army to Earth and killing all men and only keeping a select few as sex slaves to keep repopulating the world. Lilith's ultimate goal, removing the men from the world so women can rule, further proving Siobhan is Lilith.
Before, Siobhan tells Anna "if you hold him (the baby) you join us" and that's exactly what Anna does. She takes the baby and the green heals appear, showing that she now has eternal youth, power and beauty, Siobhan has giving her powers like she did with the other witches.
After a few chats, Anna is left alone, singing the song she once bonded over with her old friend until Adeline appears. They're in hell, the spirit realm, Adeline is now a spirit and finally can connect with Anna while she's alone. She tells her a spell, a spell that banishes the darkness and evil. Adeline couldn't preform the banishing spell before because Siobhan had taken her abilities away from her once she left, but Anna just got her abilities. Siobhan enters the room and they both chant, only Anna is really doing anything, Adeline is just there for encouragement lol. Siobhan is then banished from the room along with the child, not killed, just sent elsewhere. Hestia takes care of the home, so calling upon her and her white protection banished darkness away from your place. Since they were in version of Anna's apartment in hell, Hestia took away the darkness and Anna headed out from hell into a white room blessed by Hestia (or its heaven) where Anna's unborn miscarried child is present. A spider crawls around and Anna picks it up and squashes it, representing her overcoming the darkness and fears and the oppression.
Anna also took Siobhan's hat, symbolising her overpowering her and having the ability the step into a new version of herself, one that has no fear, has power and strength, one that is no longer opressed by anyone and one that has it all, a baby, an Oscar and the powers given to her and a secure safe home for herself and her child.
Also the witches aren't dead because you can hear them all chanting around Anna in the white room.
Also, the mirror cracks the same way it cracked in on of the eariler episodes. My guess is the mirror cracked in the earlier episode from Siobhan and in the last in cracked from Anna, literally mirroring how they have similar power now after Siobhan gave Anna power.
I'm gonna end this with currently the only official statement given to us by the writer of the season.
"The message of course, is not that women should not have it all, but rather woman that "having it all" is not possible within a patriarchy- and that the only way for women to have power is for them to ascribe to the same oppressive systems that have held them back for so long, as they in turn oppress others."

Hey there,
currently waiting on my first airbrush kit to arrive, in the process of gathering ideas for my first project (1/24 road car). I came across a video, i'm not sure if i'm allowed to link it (let me know if not, i'll remove it), of a custom car with a (to me) stunning paintjob.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hUb-FutQbnk
Could someone explain to me how to get to this result? I have a vague idea from what i've read so far about techniques (black primer, black metallic coat, then a candy dark red coat, then clear?), but i'd rather ask before i try it and potentially muck up a model.
I do have a rough idea of which primer to get (Mr Modeller 1200 black, with levelling thinner - and yes, i do have appropriate protective gear), and the metallic paint/candy red would come from Vallejo (or similar spelled), water based acrylics (spraying through an H&S Ultra 2024).
Am i right in my assumptions, or is this an entirely different technique?
Thanks in advance.

So these mods are compatible on PC and Xbox, but I'm not sure about Ps4 or Ps5. These are the mods that I recommend for every Fallout fan and I'll list them in order of my absolute favorites.

1. Mutant Menagerie:Life Finds A Way. 500 MB file. So this one is absolutely amazing and it adds a whole list of new lore friendly creatures to the game. This ranges from fish that will make swimming dangerous now to new and scary creatures such as the OceanLurk that is a mutated Krill, a BoomBug, which is a mutated Ladybug, The Hellcat as a mutated large Bobcat, a Radcoon as a mutated and aggressive Raccoon, and many others.

This also features retexture variants of certain creatures like the Mole Rat and Rad Rat to now some like the Broodmothers are the size of Boars and extremely dangerous. New plants are also added as is new crafting options of these creatures. Now instead of only things like Mirelurk Meat being dropped by Mirelurks, we have Crustacean Meat that can be dropped for different variants of cooking. I can't recommend this mod enough. Even little details like Flatworms that are reskinned Blood Worm Leeches will follow Super Mutants around and spit fire and explode upon death, just like Fallout 76. Certain Fallout 76 creatures like the Honey Beast (Honey Bee) have also been added here.

1. Vivid Weathers. 83 MB. This adds new weather effects and makes things like Rad Storms seem more intense. You can also see effects of Nuclear Winter at various times.
   
2. Fixed Enhanced Blood Textures. 35 MB. This one makes Blood look a bit better than vanilla game.
   
3. Fallout 4 AI Overhaul. 102 KB. This one makes Ai have more varied daily tasks.
   
4. Old Gold Radio. 78 MB. This one adds a new radio station with no DJ. The song selection here is absolutely phenomenal with even some unique choices such as "I Want To Hold Her Hand, "Twist And Shout", and "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. This is honestly my favorite Fallout Radio station of any game and it is fan made. One of the songs is "King Of The Road" by Roger Miller and it absolutely fits Fallout as does "Crazy" by Patsy Cline.
   

This station also has two of my favorite songs from the era with "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" by Paul Ankla and my favorite, a song ahead of 1959 by a decade, "Venus" by Frankie Avalon. "(Girl) You Really Got Me" by The Kinks was such a unique song to add as it teeters on being lore friendly and so I really love this mod creator.

1. Darkstar Radio. 70 MB. Another awesome radio station that has some overlap songs with Old Gold Radio. There are some really good songs here that aren't on Old Gold Radio such as "Book Of Love" by The Monotones. "Devil In Diguise" and "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis. And one of my top favorite songs from the era "Dream Lover" by Bobby Darin.
   
2. Galaxy News Radio (Fully Voiced). 64 MB. This one is all about love for the Lore as the Irish DJ named Cerberus notes that he visited Three Dog in The Capital Wasteland and got permission to create his own version in The Commonwealth. This mod has all of the music from GNR from Fallout 3 as well as some from Diamond City Radio in Fallout 4. Cerberus will also speak about issues in The Commonwealth and will give tips on how to survive daily and which factions to be mindful of. The mod creator will interact with fans and will announce their names on the radio and answer questions. Just a really awesome mod all around.
   
3. RNV Holocassettes. 49 MB. This adds all of the music found in Radio New Vegas onto holotapes that can be played at any time. They can be found in a trunk inside Diamond City Radio. They will be marked in red, but Travis won't turn hostile when you take them. Don't have a companion inside the place with you as they will dislike the theft. There is a New Vegas radio station called Flashback:Nevada and yet I prefer this mod cause that one is so finicky with other radio station mods and the ones found in the game will conflict with it.
   
4. Holocassestes:Holotape Music. 2 MB. This basically functions the same way as Number 8 does, but the music is in Holotape form of Diamond City Radio songs rather than Radio New Vegas.
   
5. Radio 76. 62 MB. This one adds all of the music from Appalachia Radio from Fallout 76.
   
6. (OWR-Boston) The Twilight Zone Radio. 627 MB. This is a gigantic mod, but a must have if you miss segments from GNR in Fallout 3 with Herbert "Daring" Dashwood and his manservant Ghoul Argyle. This is real audio taken from old radio broadcasts where Rod Serling himself would fully narrate real Twilight Zone episodes from the show.
   
7. More Companion slots. 115 KB. Allows you to have Dogmeat and a Human (or Ghoul) in your party.
   
8. Commonwealth Snow Globes. 18 MB. Do you miss those awesome collectibles from New Vegas ? Well they are here and based on historical places of Boston such as The States House in Goodneighbor. This mod also includes a unique Collectible stand to display them just like the Bobble head stands.
   
9. Ellen, The Cartographer. 62 MB. A unique companion found in Diamond City at the hotel and bar. She is fully voiced and helps out with locating new places.
   
10. Sanctuary Leftovers. 81 KB. This mod adds vehicles and other stuff to Sanctuary Hills as they were seen on the day the bombs fell. So stuff like the Vault-Tec Van will still be seen outside your home.
    
11. Kellog's Armor Plus. 35 KB. This one adds an increased armor rating to Kellog's armor, a boost of Rad resistance, and the chameleon effect when crouching. This one is a decent one if you're like me and love to wear this armor.
    

Hey Hey the names Kacper, yes like casper the friendly ghost XD I'm a college student studying English philology but I do voice acting as a side thingy, so hope that means I have a cool voice XDDD
in my free time I like playing video games and would be great if we could play together, especially if you can carry 🙏 I also listen to a TON of music, it's a problem at this point XDD (i had 83k minutes on my spotify wrapped, for the love of god send help). I also really enjoy stuff like writing, reading, painting, gardening (I have like 9 plants in my room rn XDD) watching movies, anime, reading manga, working out and making sculptures with clay
As for me and my personality, I'll quote my bestfriend here "he's a chill and funny guy", now you may be asking yourself: was he held at gunpoint and made to say that and yes he was XDD, dont worry he's fine...probably XD, as for looks I have medium length dark brown hair (growing it out) and dark brown eyes, along with glasses, I'm also 98kg (losing weight) and I'm 189cm tall and according to another friend I have a ✨️panache✨️ voice, what does that mean? I have no clue but their pretty looney so I think its good? XDDD I also always try and make light of a situation trying to crack jokes and just overall just trying to make people happy.
As for what I look for in a partner, I mainly look at personality but if you dont match any of these but think we work well together then dont shy away from messaging! I'd like someone who's decisive, confident, knows what she wants, bold, charismatic, good communication skills and more leaning towards being dominant and I'd rather you be between 19-30 years old.
I would like to make this more indepth but my hands are dirty with clay and it's staining my phone screen XDD hoping to hear from you soon tho ☺️

Regiment Title: Carion 1st Armored.
Homeworld: Carion IIb of the Carion System.
Background: The Carion 1st Armored is a rather intriguing regiment. They're very individualistic ways and use of weapons and technology not provided by the Ministorum sets them apart from the rest. Carion lies on the outer fringes of the Imperium. It is a binary star system, with a blue giant as the central star, and a white dwarf orbiting it. Carion is the name of the white dwarf, and it has a system of planets that include Carion I, Carion II, and Carion III. This is the system where generally all Carions live.
The main homeworld of the Carions is Carion IIb, a small icy moon that orbits the ice giant Carion II. Despite its size, it sports a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, two large seas, and forests of massive trees. Unfortanately for its human inhabitants, the surface is almost perpetually covered in a planet-wide blizzard that can be seen from space. This makes navigation near impossible and the surface incredibly inhospitable. This has forced the Carions to live underground in large tunnel cities. These cities typically live near the seas so as to gain access to water, which is filtered into purifiers to seperate the salt from the water. War over the abundant deposits of metals is extremely common, and is similar to the tunnel warfare that raged on the planet Krieg. Surface warfare was certaintly less common than the tunnel fighting, but it did happen. Carions developed large rovers called baserunners to be able to traverse the environment on the surface. Conflicts between baserunners of apposing sides were often brutal, slow fights where neither side can penetrate the thick armor of the other side. Eventually, such fights ended all together due to it being rare either side would gain the upper hand on the other without the result being both sides perishing in the brutal, biting cold. The turbulent world was, to say the least, neglected by the imperium for years.
They saw no reason to go through the trouble to go all the way out to the frontier to secure the frozen rock, and they would also have to clear up the war waged between the city-states. Fortunately for the people of Carion, the imperium never saw a reason to cut them off. The resources not only on Carion IIb, but on the other planets and moons as well were quite plentiful. Maybe one day, the imperium can muster up the forces to go out there at some point. For now, however, the risk was too great. They were too far out, and their constant wars and hazardous surface provide a bit of a complication in establishing a stable supply line. So for now, the Carions were on their own. As the city-states developed their technologies and created borders, war started to become an ever increasing accurance. And they got bloodier and bloodier. Weapons with larger bullets, cannons with more explosives, railguns with faster projectiles. Bodies no longer dropped, they were torn to shreds before they ever hit the ground. Tanks began to dominate the tunnels, creating monstrous battles of tug-of-war where both sides push and shove until one gives out. Grenades were make-or-break weapons the could change the course of the fight in an instant. Your rifle was your lifeblood. Your rifle was no longer just a tool of destrution, it was an extension of you. And you shoot and you kill and you rip and you tear in an endless war over the metals that litter the world. War with one another, though, would on one fateful day become a past they wished they could go back to.
A Tau invasion force, a mass of tanish-yellow hulls that could cover every inch of Carion IIb alone, entered the ballgame. Player 3 had arrived, and they were playing for keeps. They were commanded by Commander Coldfire, a brilliant, quick-thinking officer who previously had driven off the imperium from Dal'yth during the Damocles Crusade. The fighting was one-sided from the start. City-states, who had just been in the middle of fighting eachother, were now presented with this incredibly powerful threat. City-states attempted to take on this threat alone, resulting in quick and easy victories for the invaders. The massive difference in firepower was staggering. Even baserunners, the most heavily armed and armored vehicles the Carions could muster, were torn to pieces by energy weapons and their crews left to die in the cold. But there was one thing that the Carions could beat the Tau at. One thing they have practiced and perfected for hundreds and hundreds of years; tunnel warfare. Ambushes were set. Mines and explosives were layed. Tunnels were caved in to create funnels to trap the Tau infantry in.
The Carions were beaten, but they were still kicking. Coming to the surprise of the Tau, these ambushes were incredibly affective, some wiping out entire assault forces by wearing them down bit by bit. Fighting slowed to a crawl as infantry had to check every nook and cranny of a tunnel to make sure it was safe every single time they used it. Despite this success, the leaders of the city-states knew that their agressors would wisen up to their tactics. They needed to do something fast or they would be living under blue-skinned socialists for centuries. And so began the creation of a huge project. A last die hard attempt to get help from the wider world. As the invasion closed in on the cities, the plan was sprung into action. A column of flame sprung up through the dark, rising higher and higher through the sky. It was a rocket, designed to send a probe out into space to send one last S.O.S. signal in a final, solumn attempt to get help in repelling these invaders. It was immediately picked up by the invasion fleet in orbit, and they opened fire. Rounds pummeled the fragile rocket. Explosions began to work up the hull. Finally, the rocket released the probe. It brodcasted its message on all signals, a desperate call in an uncaring universe. It barely finished before being blown apart.
The message was picked up by a ship of the imperium in a neighboring system. Sending the message up the chain to their superiors, and then farther up the chain to the Militarium, the order was given for a force to retake the system. A detachtment of space wolves with a regiment of Imperial Guardsmen was dispatched to destroy the Tau invasion and save the Carions. The ships arrived in the system, and a large naval battled ensued, with both sdies taking heavy damage. The Tau were eventually forced to flee, leaving behind their comrades down on the surface. After landing on the surface and painstakingly mopping up the last of the xenos resistance, the Carions were rescued.
This rescue, however, would come at a price to the Carions. The Imperium sent some demands; in order for you to gain our continued support in re-establishing your society, we ask of you this... You must reach a quota of three regiments of soldiers, and provide a stable supply line of resources to us. In return, we shall provide you support in a the form of protection for your home, and supplies to reform your lives. There was no response for a while, and then finally came a message; We will not be able to reach a quota of three regiments. We are only able to provide one. However, in order to make up the deficate in numbers, we use our own equipment so as not to use up yours. We have plenty of resources to create our own weapons, and this newfound technology recovered from these so called "Tau".
We can provide the supply line, but not the amount of troops. There was a split decision from the Imperium. On one hand, a self-sustaining regiment was an intriquing idea to the Militarium. It would take up a lot less of the limited materials available. On the other, they have brought up the idea of using xenos technology. That is in violation of the guidlines the Militarium put in place, and also would be dictated as heresy by the Ecclesiarchy. After some back and forth, the imperium decided to let the Carions create their own equipment to see what they would do. However, the Imperium told the Carions that they would have to use vehicles of the imperium so that the Eclisiarchy didn't come down on them. The Carions agreed, and were actually rather extatic when they recieved the Leman Russes and Chimeras they would be using. They were facinated by their ability to run on whatever could burn, and quickly copied the design and made their own improvements, adding new weapons such as railguns to the mix. Eventually, the Carions came back to the Imperium with their regiment; The Carion 1st Armored.
Physiology: The typical Carion soldier is around 7'1", around 234 pounds, and sport great strength. Their height is due to the low gravity of their homeworld, allowing them to grow to such extent. This height is a double-edged sword. It makes them a bigger target, and they will sometimes suffer from health problems such as frail bones. It also makes them incredibly intimidating, as some can match the height of a space marine. They have no extra organs, but they have larger lungs and heart so that oxygen and blood can be pumped to their extremities. Everything else is standard to humans.
Standard Equipment: The regiment is predominately made of tank companies, but there are infantry attatched to these companies. They typically ride in Chimeras behind the advancing tanks. A typical infantryman is given a reinforced steel helmet with a built in radio, sound suppression system, retractable lens for the sun, and plenty of attachment points for cameras, NVGs, etc. A flahslight is also built into the helmet for dark environments. Soldiers are also provided a gaiter to wear over their lower faces. This is primarily for the cold, but also helps against "alien fluids" getting in one's mouth.
Troops recieve a fur greatcoat to wear for colder weather, a gray uniform, a synthetic shirt to wear under the uniform, a pair of steel-toed combat boots, and a flapcap to wear in colder weatheout of combat. Corians recieve a pretty comprehensive armor system that is far superior to the flak vests the normal guardsmen recieves. It includes a metal chestplate with pouches for storing items, shoulder plates, shin armor, kneepads, and even gloves with steel caps on the knuckles. They also get thigh armor so that when they are being shot at, nothing tears off their legs. They recieve an IFAK kit placed on the left thigh, and a grenade pouch placed on the right. The IFAK kit consists of a canister of bio-foam, bandages design to quickly clot wounds, gauze bandages for burns, morphine, epinephrine, two splints, and a couple torniquets. The grenades provided include two fragmentation grenades, two incendiary grenades, and two smoke grenades. Standard issue weapons are one XC-018a Stubber, and one UTI-40 Handgun. The XC-018a Stubber is chambered in a steel-cased 9.4x40mm round, typically in FMJ, or Full Metal Jacket. The UTI-40 Handgun is more a Magnum than a Handgun, with it being chambered in a monstrous 12.7x30mm armored-piercing round.
Troops get six magazines for their Stubber, and four for their Handgun. A holster is provided for the magnum, usually attached to the assault belt worn around the waist. There is also a sling for the Stubber. A monocular NVG is given. It includes four modes; Night Vision, White-Hot Thermals, Black-Hot Thermals, and Red-Hot Thermals. This is designed to cover the left eye, and flip up onto the helmet. Over the right eye, soldiers are provided a small lens that provides combat information to the wearer. It recieves information on heart-rate and bodily damage via sensors placed around the body. It keeps track of the number of rounds in the infantryman's Stubber and can provided information on enemies via scan from an externally-mounted helmet camera. Depending on the weather and environment of the planet they are deployed to, soldiers are sometimes given a camoflauge cloth helmet cover to help with blending in to the terrain. Miscellanious equipment includes blue, red, and green chemlights, a GPS, mapping tools along with a map, a plasma lighter that doubles as a flashlight, a compass, cigarettes, and a cyanide pill to evade capture by chaos.
General Purpose: The Carion 1st Armored specializes in punching through heavily defended enemy lines and locking down specific areas. They are experts at quickly and efficiently overwhelming enemy defenses while taking minimal losses, and then holding the captured territory until another push is ordered. Commonly, they will go off on their own and seize an advantage when they see it without orders to do so. They are taught thoroughly through training to act on their own in order to seize victory, so seeing them take large risks in order to beat the enemy is not out of the ordinary.
Summary: Through their turbulent history of war and utter brutality, the Carion 1st is a valuable asset to any breakthrough operation, and will certainttly never be underestimated.

when I was visiting China I would eat this yogurt every single day with no break, its yogurt but it has a sweet ting to it making it delicious, but now that I’m back I realized I did not take a picture of it or know of its name and I’m currently going through withdrawals without (craving it so hard). I used to get it from Lawson open fridge section and it was blue and white the blue formed what I’m not sure was a Chinese or Greek pattern on the yogurt and there was a tiny red square on the middle. The yuggort came with a plastic top lid and a spoon. Here is the closest picture I could find online. Please I’m craving it so hard

Estelle: long ago on earth the humans and anthropomorphic animals lived in peace and harmony sometimes just like the real world not everyone gets along but that's not what I'm talking about today and since the 11th century onwards some animals began forming communities with some humans while domesticated and some wild animals began to live alongside humanity but when the 21st century came around a new evil plagued the lower 48 states known as muerte roja or the red death they've been known to stalk and kill any victim ranging from an anthropomorphic animal or human they don't care who they kill or hurt they're malevolent monsters Who do it for one thing profit which is one of the most fucked up things anyone would do killing a human or anthropomorphic animal for money there is a Japanese quote that reads "Hito ga kurai aku no michi o ayumunara, karera wa kuiaratameru koto ni narudarou" or if one goes down a dark path of evil they will come to rue One day a boy named Carlos got another boy named Willie jr killed causing a chain of events to unraval

Welcome to the /FleshandBloodTCG Weekly Discussion & Questions Thread
This is a place where you can ask any and all questions relating to Flesh & Blood, including:

• Rules clarifications,
• deck advice,
• play opinions,
• and other quick questions that might not warrant their own post.

Asking for advice

You're much more likely to get good and personalized recommendations if you take the time to format a well-written ask. For example, "I'm new to FaB -- I'm a former MtG player, and I always played aggro red burn decks; which hero would you recommend?" is a better question than, "Which hero should I choose?"

Add brackets around your cards

Help people identify your questions, comments, or concerns by placing the names of cards between double brackets. (e.g., "How many copies of [[Scar for a Scar]] should I run in my deck?") FaBFetcher will reply with links to the relevant cards.

Dear Petrolheads,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am reaching out with a serious request for assistance. My name is Narayan, and I currently reside in Al Nahda 2, Dubai. Recently, I purchased a 2021 LEXUS NX300 Car (VIN JTJGARBZ2M5027489) with 25,000 km on the odometer for 80,000 AED. The car is in impeccable condition, and I have already paid a deposit of 15,000 AED. I am scheduled to pay the remaining 65,000 AED today or tomorrow. However, due to an unexpected family emergency requiring urgent financial support in India, I find myself unable to collect the car as planned.
Regrettably, if I am unable to collect the car within the next two days, I risk forfeiting my 15,000 AED deposit. Therefore, I am earnestly seeking assistance. If anyone is interested in purchasing the car at the same price I paid, I am prepared to sell it promptly.
For further details about the car, please feel free to contact me directly at 0507730908 (Narayan).

My mother has always been a strange woman. Was, I mean.
I never knew her long. She died just a 14 years or so after I was born. I couldn't tell you why. Must've been something or other related to drugs, crime or the marriage of both. What I do know is that she kept strange company and was even stranger herself. I've obviously seen her, but I can't recall what she looked like. I've heard her speak, but I can't remember what she sounded like. It's as if the ghost of her past has gone and wiped my memories of her existential evidence.
Her company, however... I can remember them. Sometimes a big, burly man with scars painted all across his body. Other times, a warm, beaming smile with a mind just as bright; one who could lecture me even on topics I thought I was knowledgeable in. There was even one fellow with a dangerous glint in his eye; like the sheen of a knife rife with intention. I never much interacted with them, what with me being more interested in my books and playing cards than any of my mother's companions. But they all gave me the feeling of being similar; perhaps not in appearance, but certainly of mind.
I guess it just strikes me as strange. How some folk you meet resound with aspects and traits not quite unique to them, but unique in their representation. How one man can lift weights because he wants to be healthy, while another lifts them because he wants to the strongest in the gym. Motivations each to their own, but to each of them indeed.
Myself, I'm somewhat of a sneak. I've never liked social gatherings or small talk or sharing how my day has been. I prefer to stay in my lane and out of the limelight. I suppose that lends credence to my day job: I'm a security analyst specializing is physical access. Breaking into buildings, picking locks, that kind of thing. My entry into places unwelcome to me has always brought a fire to my belly; a fire that traces its kindling to my early years.
I was maybe 9 or 10, up late on a night I had no right to be. That alone always brought some excitement, much to my family's disapproval, but that night it wasn't enough. I had snuck out of the house after everyone else had gone to bed, armed with a set of lockpicks my friend's brother bought for me. I locked the back door before I crept through the front one, closing it behind me.
I was greeted by our front yard, its life sapped by the night. There was a coldness to the air — not because of the weather, but by a sort of abscence of it. The atmosphere of the dark unsettled me, but I kept my young pace towards the back.
Reaching the back door, I was returned to comfort. I still had an odd feeling, but that belly fire kicked up and warmed me rightly. I set my pick to the lock and, in less than a minute, it was open. I was disappointed more than anything else. I wanted to learn, but weak locks brought nothing but stagnation. I craved a lock unfamiliar to me; one that I knew would be a challenge.
My school came to mind. It was only a few blocks away. I could walk there, crack the lock, and be back before an hour passed. A good plan, at least to the tracks of my young mind. I snuck back around the house and made my way without spying another soul on the walk. Not that I minded.
The school looked strange in the blanket of night. Familiar but not; the same place I went to daily, but not. But I didn't care much, nor did my lockpick. I set upon the front door with a hunger in my hands that demanded to be sated. The lock fell to my fingers in just two minutes time. Better than at home, but nowhere near ideal. As I turned to walk off, the door behind me lurched open and I was dragged into the building.
My heart nearly exploded out of my chest, but I was faced with none other than the school's janitor. Apparently he was working late that night and was just preparing to clock out. He was shouting about me being a delinquent and a pest with other colorful words sprinkled throughout. I was brought to a chair where I sat with shame, not because of my actions, but because I let myself be caught. I had to get better at not being caught.
The interaction ended with him demanding my name and grade, which I shared. I just wanted to get home and sleep my disappointment away. It didn't end there, however. The next day, the principal called me to his office early in the morning with a sharpness to his voice that nobody ever liked. He was calling my mother and urging her to meet with him alongside her devious child to discuss my "attempt at burglary."
I hoped she wouldn't come. She did. We sat in that office as they shouted back and forth about my imminent expulsion and a report to the police. A fist hit the desk hard before my mother asked me to leave the room. I quietly left and took a seat just outside, in a quaint little chair that smelled of cleaning solution.
A few minutes later, my mom rushed out of the room and took my hand with her eyes directed at the door. I gazed into the office only to find the principal limp and leaning back in his chair, with a strand of drool leaking from his lips. His gaze was turned towards the ceiling, mouth muttering with the speed of a hummingbird's wings, fluttering its nothingness to the apathetic quiet.
He was replaced soon after. They say he suffered some kind of mental break and was deemed completely unfit for work. That's what they claim, at least. I don't know if anyone saw us enter or leave that day, but we were never questioned or brought forward. The problem just faded away into the recesses of the town's mind. I've always been curious about it, but I'm not stupid enough to ask. My mom did something to help me and I suppose I'm thankful.
I guess I loved her, even if it seems I never knew her.
