i think the knight is Toby fox. I have no evidence to support it BUT from what I know both 1 and 2’s secret bosses seem to have talked to someone and are aware of this unknown entity and I bet it was toby telling them there in a game don’t tear me apart I just had this idea in a parking lot

Hi all I’m a new player really loving the game, built a house in the meadows, beat the first boss and I’m worked up to bronze armor and weapons, and now after skirting the edges of the swamp, a mountain, and some plains, I’m not sure what to do w myself. I see tons of guides, and tutorials, for specific things, but can anyone give me sort of a todo list that most people would agree would be a good progression based on difficulty? Is there a sort of biome difficulty tier? Thanks for any assistance.

Hello Everyone
​
Here I am trying to get this amazing game so I will try to explain in my own words what is Monster Hunter. I've watched a thousand videos, a bunch of gameplay, I'm going crazy wanting to play this game. I really want this, so much!!!!!!!
I'm 23 years old. My hobbies are playing games and watching movies. I've been playing games for a loong times and lately all I do is playing games, because I've been through knee surgery and it hurts like hell, So I using playing games to forget a little about the pain.
So I've been a big fan of monster hunter, Have played like almost 300 hours in my old ps4 with my friends. when monster hunter rise was released I was happy but at the same time I was sad, because it is a monster hunter that i would not be able to play, but last year capcom announced that in January of 2023 Monster Hunter Rise would release on ps4, and the day have come, the game has released and looking so amazing, but like I said I've been through knee surgery and can't spend money on the game. and I hope to put at least more 300 hours on monster hunter rise
What is Monster Hunter :
Well what the name says it is a game about hunting monster and gathering resources to craft and created amazing weapons and armor, and rinse and repeat, with amazing loop gameplay, you will fight amazing monster and created more and more weapons , but you think what is the endgame of Monster Hunter? I will tell you now, the endgame of monster hunter is not fighting monster or crafting weapons, the end game is FASHION, exactly fashion in Monster Hunter is a integral part of the game. While you are defeating monster, you can look good doing it and this games has some amazing fashions. So to summarise Monster Hunter is a game with amazing gameplay loop, that you can sink a hundred of hours ( wich I'm want to do ) crafting weapons and armor, and don't forget about the fashion.
So I would be greatly appreciated if anybody could help me.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

I wrote this cathartically to get some thoughts and emotions out. Hopefully someone can get something out of it. Maybe no one reads it cause it is self-indulgently long af. Either way here is a writeup of my experience going through ACL surgery and recovery thus far.
I am currently going through the rehab of ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. I tore my ACL during a roll all the way back in June of 2022 and had the surgery on Dec 13th of 2022. I am currently ~ 12 weeks out from my surgery. My experience has had a huge impact on me, how I view training, the discussion of longevity and the overall experience of being a lifelong martial artist. Being taken away from something I love has had such an impact on my life that I thought I needed to write something that someone could learn from. I will focus on pre-injury training and mindset. Then I will cover the cost of surgery, the recovery process and mindset after.
Going into summer, 2022 was by far MY FAVORITE year of training. Six years in you hit a stride in your journey where learning comes quickly and you can roll with controlled aggression safely…something that I think is earned when you have learned the game. You know the basics and how the game is supposed to be played. 2022 was the year of lunch class no gi. We rolled HARD. Rolls with the coaches where I felt like I might pass out from exhaustion were twice a week occurrence. I LOVED IT. I was grappling hard and feeling strong. I was lifting weights 2-4x a week, I was on the mats 2-5x a week. I felt GREAT. I felt great pushing it on the mat and in the gym. Controlled aggression was where I finally found my happy place. If there was someone better, that was who I needed to roll with. If there was a wrestler in the room, that was who I needed to shoot on. Rolls were almost always forward motion and I was prepared to push it because of the work I was putting in. I thought I had almost injury proofed myself. One wrestling round changed the next 1.5 years of my life.
It took me from June to December just to get the surgery. I had tried PT but kept re-injuring myself. From around July to December there was no jiu jitsu. Easy enough. I can keep myself occupied outside of the gym. What I wasn’t prepared for was the recovery. Surgery prep is easy, PT is easy, even the surgery is easy (I wasn’t awake). The hardest thing in the world after being completely independant for the past 9 years of my life is having that independence completely taken away from me. Immediately after the surgery, when it is time to go home, someone needs to drive you. You don’t drive for about 6 weeks (depending on meniscus recovery). The first 3 weeks after surgery was mentally one of the hardest things I had ever had to do…and I have panic tapped in mount. For the first week or so you can barely even get around on your crutches. Not to drink, eat, get ice, or piss. The only time I got up was to…ehem…take care of business --even though there is not much of that going on due to meds---and go to bed. For 2 weeks my wife essentially had to do everything for me. Get my water, refill my ice, cook the meals, clean the house, feed the animals. She had to wash my feet in the shower because I couldn’t bend my knee to reach them. She had to put my shoes on for me. She had to help me get dressed. She had to empty the urinal. If I didn’t say this put strain on our relationship I would be lying. We had fights. She was stressed because 24/7 care of someone and taking care of the house AND working full time is A LOT. As a grown adult…there is nothing that feels less dignified than having to ask someone to wash your feet then help you get out of the shower and put your clothes on, even if they are your wife. Sometimes that can make it feel worse. The stress is high. The boredom is insane. There is only so much Netflix and Instagram you can take. It’s cool for like 2 days. The lack of independence just wears on yo. The recovery in general for me was something like 2 weeks fully locked out brace with crutches, then maybe 3 weeks was slight knee flexion, and 4 weeks was knee flexion in brace w/ one crutch. All of these milestones fluctuate based on the patient and amount of surgical repair that was needed. I was still having issues with the lack of independence at around 3 weeks. It feels like the longest 3 weeks of your life because you can’t wait to just have some improvement in your ability to move. You can’t cook or do much still because you need crutches to stand. Even when you have crutches you can’t stand for long so the boredom of not being able to do anything other than sit on the couch, work, and watch TV weighs on you.
Improvement is slow but steady. Then when you feel like you can see some light you get the door slammed in your face. Around 3.5 weeks you are moving around and can do some things for yourself. You feel like you are making improvements. Then you wake up one morning and can't stand because of the pain. You are getting water at the fridge then the next thing you know you are on the ground crying because you don’t know why it hurts or if something has gone wrong. You thought things were getting better quickly and now it feels like you don’t know when this is going to end. The worst possible nightmare at this point is the idea of something going wrong and then having to go through another 2-3 weeks of bedridden recovery.
I am about 12 weeks out now and I know it's a long recovery but things are looking up. It’s doable and I have all basic function back in my leg. I can lift, drag the sled, and hop on the assault bike for as long as I want. I can work my knee as hard as I want as long as I am paying attention to soreness. I can’t come back to jiu jitsu until T+6 months because the ACL tendon graft needs time to turn from tendon tissue to ligament tissue. Before that time any random, unpredictable movement can mess something up. T+9 months is around where I can possibly roll again. Even then I won’t have full ROM in my knee and will likely have to get through my own mental blocks. By that time it will be a year since I have rolled. A year missing out on growth and time spent doing something I love with people whose company I genuinely enjoy. I miss the community that Elevate has built. That’s all ok because I have a path back to the mat. I just need persistence and patience. All in all I think I did PT 3x a week for the first 2 weeks then 2x a week for 4 weeks. Then I moved to a sports performance therapist and go 1x a week. Every PT visit costs 40$. The MRI cost 350$, the surgical copays were 40$ for about 3 pre surgical visits, my 10% copay was around 1200 for the surgery, the anesthesia was 400$, and my compression/ice machine was 300$ (not covered by insurance). So the total cost has been about $3k so far. Then it is 120$ a month for PT until the end of the year.
Going forward I will be thinking about how to approach my training. What might need to change, when it is best to push and pull back, how to pick partners safely, and how I can train until I am 90 years old. I might check back with another short writeup at T+9 months (September!).
What we do has an inherent danger but I don’t think you hear enough about how injury is a part of the journey. It is implicit but I think I could have dealt with the process a little differently if I had prepared mentally for the recovery. I hope someone gets something out of this even if it is just a little bit of perspective.

So just some backstory, I've had the friend group all my life, even up until now. As I got older and especially in high school, I just felt like I was outgrowing them because of how different our interests are and just their personality in general. They're just VERY different from me. Pretty much almost my whole friend group is into comic books, video games, Xbox, Marvel, DC, drawing, rock music, etc... and I'm into NONE of those things. Literally not even one. And yes I do have a good time when I hang out with them, but at the same time feel SO out of place from them. We don't even share the same sense of humor and there's been multiple times where they've shown me a funny video and I had to fake laugh at it. They can also be kinda immature sometimes and do/say stuff where I'm just like.... "WHY??!" Or I just cringe at.
Now you're probably thinking what this has to do with TikTok. Over time, I found a few people (all girls) on TikTok that live stream regularly mostly at night and because they don't have a lot of followers, when they do live stream, not a lot of people join. And no these girls don't do or say anything explicit or sexual. They simply go live and talk to the people that join. That's it! And it just feels SOOO good being able to talk to someone or people that's more of my vibe/style and WON'T talk about video games, comic books, or other stuff I don't care about. It just feels good to talk to people regularly in general since I live far away from all my friends and barely get to see them. And because the same people join every time, I recognize them and vice versa and I get along with most of them.
TikTok is literally how I talk to people (I know, that's sad) that I feel I can relate to more and interact with more consistently than my real life friends. If it gets banned, I REALLY won't have anybody to talk to.
TL;DR: I'm growing apart from all my friends and TikTok is the only way I interact with people and I'm scared it'll get banned bc then I won't have someone to talk to

As the title says, dont feel bad about not buying Crypto or BTC early on. You wouldnt have the success you think you would've and here is why.
We all like to play the game of shoulda coulda woulda and do some math about how many millions or billions you would have now if they invested X amount of many into this project or this project but that is just a good way to torture yourself. The truth, it wouldnt have mattered much anyway...
Seeing the price now makes hindsight 20/20 but the truth is, nobody would have ever guessed the success of Bitcoin minus the creator Craig Wright himself (total joke). There were very few people who had the the belief that this would turn into what it has become now. We have companies buying crypto and new generations of people calling BTC a safe Haven.... that would've been a ludicrous idea a decade ago and yet, here we are...
Lets be real as well, even if you did buy BTC when it was pennies, there is now way you would have held until now. BTC was given away early on for doing random shit on the internet and then used to buy drugs... Lets be real, crypto was used early on for the silk road and other shady. Those people gettinf out of jail we alwaya joke about, they are the only ones who held this long because it was a forced hold!
People were selling BTC when it hit a dollar, 10 dollars, or 100. That already was 1000%+ profit, those were crazy returns on your investment already! Even if you did hold for way longer than everyone else back then, there is no way you would've made it past the 2017 bullrun. That would have gotten even the strongest diamond hands to sell. They took massive amounts of profit
Moral of the story, its fun to look back in history, the pizza story for example, and talk about those what ifs but nobody knew what it would become. Even if you did buy back then, be honest with yourself.... Unless you went to jail, there is no way you wouldve held long enough to make the crazy money you fantasize about.

*I did actually edit this some so feel free to give it a read if you want. At this point I'm on the verge of calling it quits in my odyssey for a partner. I honestly don't mean that in a depressing way it's just tiring getting to know people day in day out only for them to be fake/scammebot or just have it fizzle out after weeks of texting and the inevitable "This isn't going anywhere, good luck on your search" text. Now I have to add crazy people to the list. Just because I ask you questions doesn't mean I don't know about myself as a person or what I want lol.
I apologize as it's a bit of a novel and doesn't quite make grammatical sense in some spots. I can read goodly now and again lol. The reason it says M4R is because it's Male for Redditor as in I mainly like women and trans women but I also like a very very very specific type of guy and trans men as I'm partially bi. Chances are you aren't that type but feel free to ask if you are. (Didn’t want to offend anyone so I’d rather say in private) Just throwing that out there as it's a deal breaker for most women. Which why would it be? The number one reason I get is I'm going to cheat on them with a guy. As if being bi has any bearing on cheating and not the persons character.
I'm a 34 year old guy living in the middle-ish of Texas looking for a female partner. Partner as in LTR. That's Long Term Relationship meaning boyfriend and girlfriend and holding hands type of stuff. You know, adult things? I had someone comment I was too vague so this is me being specific. I'm gonna be honest and kinda sad so bare with me.
So I spent New Years alone (I realize it's March lol but I have yet to meet someone and I think the story is relevant). Rang in the New Year in bed staring at the ceiling listening to fireworks go off into the night. The next day I cried randomly while browsing for a movie to watch on TV. At first I didn't know why as I'm not much of a crier but I realized for the first time that I genuinely felt alone. I have no partner, no family that I speak to, no friends just acquaintances, really no one there for me. That's my own doing which took years to accomplish through me being closed off and just shutting people out, so I figure it might take just as long to fix. I'm not complaining as I got myself into this predicament. It's gonna sound dumb but I wanted a New Years kiss. I'd never had one and it seemed like a fun dumb silly thing to do. Eh maybe one day. Ok well back to my spiel. (I'm not depressed or anything or wanting attention) Some of my hobbies and interests are movies, reading, cooking, kayaking, records, video games, board games, snorkeling, bowling, swimming, escape rooms, puzzles and antiquing. I would describe myself as more goofy and dorky than nerdy. I like to go out and do fun things but also stay in and cuddle and relax. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather. I prefer the cold and would love to live in a state with actual seasons and snow. I'm 5'10, stocky, 34 and open for adventure and new experiences.
Here are some random facts about me:
Some of my favorite bands are: The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The White Stripes.
Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because of the cold and festive activities.
I come from a medium-ish family.
I'm exceptionally patient but every person has a breaking point lol
I like traveling a lot. It's a basic thing that lots of people like. But I've found lots of people hate to leave their house, town or state so if that's you we probably might not be a good match. I also enjoy the mountains. But I don't like roughing it (give me that sweet AC in the summer). Hiking is so hard on my knees and I haven't done it in a while that if I were to I think about doing it I'd about die or twist a kankle.
I don't eat seafood, mushrooms, artichokes or pineapple on pizza (Who cares about this? Doesn't mean I won't go to a restaurant with you that has these things)
Never went to college as I'm horrible in a classroom setting and at taking tests.
Have probably the most boring job imaginable (Ask me about it)
Overweight but working on better choices (Get healthier and lose weight together?)
Non religious but no issue with what you believe. (If anything)
Looking into sterilization. If you are already maybe you can give me some info or tips?
My own red flags 🚩
I work too much and oftentimes can't talk.
I send selfies often. I'm a visual person and like receiving photos. Apparently it's a generational thing. Hopefully you think pictures are neat as well? Is it really that weird to want to see you and your life and show you mine?
I sometimes speedily become attached to people, not in a weird way, but if I like you and we have some kind of connection, I will enjoy talking to you and want to do it often.
I'm a very organized person and will plan out pretty much anything from a vacation to a road trip to a birthday. This makes being with a go with the flow type of person hard at times I've learned but very doable.
Due to childhood trauma I'm secretive.
MY own "HELL YES" 🏁
I know how to cook.
I will always drive if you want. (Within reason)
Great at escape rooms and jigsaw puzzles.
Can read a map.
Decent at reading backwards upside down writing.
What I'm looking for:
Is my age or older. But I'm willing to go quite a bit lower if you are neat and we have stuff in common. But super young isn't my goal here.
Mature, considerate, responsible and funny (Dorky wouldn't hurt)
Someone who never cheats, honesty and trust are important to me.
Someone who is open-minded, willing to try new things, be adventurous, funny and nerdy.
Someone who believes in sharing household chores equally because we are both adults.
Be open and frank about issues you or I are having. Not pushy or jealous. Won't yell or argue about stupid things, I've had enough of that.
Willing to push me to become a better version of myself (Can you turn me into Batman?)
If this sounds like you then feel free to reach out and say hi or challenge me to a game of Scrabble/Pictionary/hand to hand combat maybe? Maybe Wordle or some online vidya game?
P.S. I realize my post isn't for everyone but if your seeing red flags from my post then I'd say trust your gut and please don't message me. We probably aren't compatible. I honestly don't mean that in a mean or hurtful way. I've just been messaged quite often with women saying they pushed aside red flags to get to know me. Please don't, it never ends well and we end up wasting both of our time.

Hey everyone,
Thought now would be a decent time to do a post, myself and a few others have been running a community discord server (1000+ people) since TI8 where we facilitate restaurant meetups, drinks, arena gatherings and watch parties for TI (More regarding that can be seen on reddit post history).
Given how popular these meetups have been over the past couple of years and how many amazing people we've met at these events, we'll also be doing smaller meetups for various majors more often.
We have all previous event's activities, pictures and chats archived in the relevant sections on the discord for those wanting to see to feel a bit more comfortable with seeing the intentions of the group.

To be clear: This is non-profit.

All meetups are come as you wish, pay your own way. We merely post a location and time where we'll be hanging out, try to arrange bookings where possible based on numbers interested and then just hang out and have a good time.
The purpose of the server is for those wanting to celebrate Dota with other enjoyers who are attending the events, get to meet new people and do things outside of just sit in an arena watching some Dota (although this is the main focus), as great as it is.
Who knows, maybe you've actually played with some of these people in your pubs! Maybe that's not such a good thing...
As this is only a major, there wont be too many pre-planned events unlike at the TI events, for now it's just mainly be a pre-major meetup meal where we can all get together, have some good food together, some drinks and get to know each-other. Then on the game day's we usually all sit together (depending on ticket types of course)
There are a few of us who will also be going to the Grigory Sokolov's Henry Purcell concert for those that like classical music and want to tag along, there's a post in our announcements section in the discord.
Link to the discord for those maybe interested: https://discord.gg/B23tZvF
As anti-bot protection, leave a message in the #verification channel to get chat permissions, it can be something as simple as hi, we just want to protect against bot spam as much as possible. Please bare with us on this as we do the verification manually as having a bot would defeat the purpose.
For those I'll meet as a result of this, looking forward to it!

So basically, I played the game 2 years ago for something like 15 hours. I started a new game and went along with the playthrough, did the first boss, then proceeded to explore the first part of Ashina Castle and the first part of the Estate (before facing the Drunkard and Lady Butterfly though).
I explored the roof and the upper part of the castle (the one with the dudes who have the Ichimonji), and found myself fighting Genichiro. Turns out there still was the Abandoned Dungeon, the Old Grave, Ashina Reservoir, and a couple more areas I could (should?) have done before fighting him.
My main issue is with Emma: she was trying to find a cure to the Dragonrot and asked me to find some other blood (which by the way I still haven't found) and now she moved to the tower and apparently won't speak about it anymore? Also, she won't upgrade my healing gourd and I have 2 seeds in my inventory. Did I do something wrong?

I honestly don't mean that in a mean or hurtful way. I've just been messaged quite often with women saying they pushed aside red flags to get to know me. Please don't, it never ends well and we end up wasting both of our time.

Howdy! My name is Maggie, I'm 20, and use they/them pronouns. I've been playing TTRPGS for about 5 years now mostly as a DM in a large variety of systems. Outside of TTRPGS I enjoy writing, editing, watching far too much TV, and video games.
I am looking for three players to join me and two of my friends on Saturday/Sunday mornings/early afternoons CST (AKA afternoon/evening GMT). Exact times can be determined once all the players are gathered. We are in our early to mid twenties and looking for people around our age and 18+. We are also good friends outside of TTRPGS and it would be cool if you wanted to chat outside of them as well!
As for example games we would be playing, here are a few that I'm currently interested in (I'm also always open to suggestions): FIST Basically any PbtA game Mork Borg Lancer A few worldbuilding games and basically any Grant Howitt one page game
For contact you can either DM me here or at my discord MagykTM#5552, please include the following info: name/pronouns, age, TTRPG experience, any games you've been dying to try, and a little info about yourself!

I never had problems with the mode since like two or three days ago. I had finished it like 6 times at level 3 and it was never hard. Recently i played it 3 times on level 3, and i lost ALL OF THEM. the last game i made was with the miner and i used the seasonal spear weapon and, already melee weapons feel really bad to use cuz of collision damage but thats not the problem. I reached stage 15 STRUGGLING SO MUCH with enemies dealing me so much damage. I killed the boss and a second later i died from the stupid mobs. EVERY ATTACK DEALT ME 6 DAMAGE and i had +6 in defense like what the hell??!? the damage was never that high i swear. Anyways im so mad rn maybe its a skill issue idk

AI-powered characters are becoming more common in video games, providing players with smarter and more challenging opponents. These characters can learn from players' actions and adjust their behavior accordingly, creating a more immersive and realistic gaming experience.

*I did actually edit this some so feel free to give it a read if you want. At this point I'm on the verge of calling it quits in my odyssey for a partner. I honestly don't mean that in a depressing way it's just tiring getting to know people day in day out only for them to be fake/scammebot or just have it fizzle out after weeks of texting and the inevitable "This isn't going anywhere, good luck on your search" text. Now I have to add crazy people to the list. Just because I ask you questions doesn't mean I don't know about myself as a person or what I want lol.
I apologize as it's a bit of a novel and doesn't quite make grammatical sense in some spots. I can read goodly now and again lol. The reason it says M4R is because it's Male for Redditor as in I mainly like women and trans women but I also like a very very very specific type of guy and trans men as I'm partially bi. Chances are you aren't that type but feel free to ask if you are. (Didn’t want to offend anyone so I’d rather say in private) Just throwing that out there as it's a deal breaker for most women. Which why would it be? The number one reason I get is I'm going to cheat on them with a guy. As if being bi has any bearing on cheating and not the persons character.
I'm a 34 year old guy living in the middle-ish of Texas looking for a female partner. Partner as in LTR. That's Long Term Relationship meaning boyfriend and girlfriend and holding hands type of stuff. You know, adult things? I had someone comment I was too vague so this is me being specific. I'm gonna be honest and kinda sad so bare with me.
So I spent New Years alone (I realize it's March lol but I have yet to meet someone and I think the story is relevant). Rang in the New Year in bed staring at the ceiling listening to fireworks go off into the night. The next day I cried randomly while browsing for a movie to watch on TV. At first I didn't know why as I'm not much of a crier but I realized for the first time that I genuinely felt alone. I have no partner, no family that I speak to, no friends just acquaintances, really no one there for me. That's my own doing which took years to accomplish through me being closed off and just shutting people out, so I figure it might take just as long to fix. I'm not complaining as I got myself into this predicament. It's gonna sound dumb but I wanted a New Years kiss. I'd never had one and it seemed like a fun dumb silly thing to do. Eh maybe one day. Ok well back to my spiel. (I'm not depressed or anything or wanting attention) Some of my hobbies and interests are movies, reading, cooking, kayaking, records, video games, board games, snorkeling, bowling, swimming, escape rooms, puzzles and antiquing. I would describe myself as more goofy and dorky than nerdy. I like to go out and do fun things but also stay in and cuddle and relax. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather. I prefer the cold and would love to live in a state with actual seasons and snow. I'm 5'10, stocky, 34 and open for adventure and new experiences.
Here are some random facts about me:
Some of my favorite bands are: The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The White Stripes.
Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because of the cold and festive activities.
I come from a medium-ish family.
I'm exceptionally patient but every person has a breaking point lol
I like traveling a lot. It's a basic thing that lots of people like. But I've found lots of people hate to leave their house, town or state so if that's you we probably might not be a good match. I also enjoy the mountains. But I don't like roughing it (give me that sweet AC in the summer). Hiking is so hard on my knees and I haven't done it in a while that if I were to I think about doing it I'd about die or twist a kankle.
I don't eat seafood, mushrooms, artichokes or pineapple on pizza (Who cares about this? Doesn't mean I won't go to a restaurant with you that has these things)
Never went to college as I'm horrible in a classroom setting and at taking tests.
Have probably the most boring job imaginable (Ask me about it)
Overweight but working on better choices (Get healthier and lose weight together?)
Non religious but no issue with what you believe. (If anything)
Looking into sterilization. If you are already maybe you can give me some info or tips?
My own red flags 🚩
I work too much and oftentimes can't talk.
I send selfies often. I'm a visual person and like receiving photos. Apparently it's a generational thing. Hopefully you think pictures are neat as well? Is it really that weird to want to see you and your life and show you mine?
I sometimes speedily become attached to people, not in a weird way, but if I like you and we have some kind of connection, I will enjoy talking to you and want to do it often.
I'm a very organized person and will plan out pretty much anything from a vacation to a road trip to a birthday. This makes being with a go with the flow type of person hard at times I've learned but very doable.
Due to childhood trauma I'm secretive.
MY own "HELL YES" 🏁
I know how to cook.
I will always drive if you want. (Within reason)
Great at escape rooms and jigsaw puzzles.
Can read a map.
Decent at reading backwards upside down writing.
What I'm looking for:
Is my age or older. But I'm willing to go quite a bit lower if you are neat and we have stuff in common. But super young isn't my goal here.
Mature, considerate, responsible and funny (Dorky wouldn't hurt)
Someone who never cheats, honesty and trust are important to me.
Someone who is open-minded, willing to try new things, be adventurous, funny and nerdy.
Someone who believes in sharing household chores equally because we are both adults.
Be open and frank about issues you or I are having. Not pushy or jealous. Won't yell or argue about stupid things, I've had enough of that.
Willing to push me to become a better version of myself (Can you turn me into Batman?)
If this sounds like you then feel free to reach out and say hi or challenge me to a game of Scrabble/Pictionary/hand to hand combat maybe? Maybe Wordle or some online vidya game?
P.S. I realize my post isn't for everyone but if your seeing red flags from my post then I'd say trust your gut and please don't message me. We probably aren't compatible. I honestly don't mean that in a mean or hurtful way. I've just been messaged quite often with women saying they pushed aside red flags to get to know me. Please don't, it never ends well and we end up wasting both of our time.

A new trend in the NFT market. Bitcoin NFT, all popular collections are moving to the Bitcoin network. Popular collections like (Ordinal Birds,Bitcoin Punks, Bitcoin Rocks, InscribedPepes, Bitcoin Toadz, BitcoinShrooms) have already moved to Bitcoin.
Now it's time for Birds BTC to match the trend and switch to the bitcoin network. After all, this story is now reminiscent of the bitcoin story. Whoever is in the beginning will not regret it later. Think about it, Just for the last week NFT sales grew by 18.43%.
It's only the beginning of the year, and the market is already starting to change and introduce new Trends that will become some of the most popular in the coming months! This is your chance to get an early look at one of the most popular collections, Moon Birds
🤝 The basic idea behind these NFTs is that they are entirely stored in the Bitcoin blockchain. This is made possible by the SegWit (2017) and Taproot (2021) updates. Ordinals was the first protocol to create Bitcoin-NFT!
History of the already popular project that released NFT on Bitcoin . If you haven't already heard, one collection of NFTs, namely the Ordinal Punks (inspired by the legendary CryptoPunks) has already appeared on the trading floor with the order number Punk NFT #620 sold for 9.5 BTC (~$215,000), and 7 more NFTs from the collection are selling for 15.2 BTC ($342,000)!
👍 WHY ARE NFTS NEEDED AT BTC?
Bitcoin miners have already made almost $600,000 on NFT ordinal transactions, with NFT inscriptions now regularly occupying more than 50% of the bitcoin block space.
● Bitcoin will have new uses that will attract a new audience;
● Miners will get more money from commissions, and this will have a positive impact on the
bitcoin's security;
● Bitcoin-NFTs are superior to conventional NFTs in almost every way: they are more secure,
durable, immutable, rare, simple, and support any type of content;
● Bitcoin-NFTs can include not only images, but also PDFs, video and audio. They can be
stored, transferred, and traded like regular NFTs;
If you haven't minted an ordinal number, you now have a chance to acquire the next big bitcoin
NFT, which could generate even more hype and interest in the NFT space...
MoonBirds NFT. 🦉
📢 THE SOCIETY'S COFFERS WILL BE FUNDED BY
Initial cash infusion from PROOF treasury ($2 million) Moon birds from PROOF treasury (7) Value of Moonbirds purchased on the open market ($500k) Secondary license fees from Moonbirds and Mythics (35%)
Moonbird #2642, one of the rarest members of the NFT Moonbirds collection, was sold for a record $350 ETH (over $1 million) According to Dune Analytics, total NFT Moonbirds sales were nearly $360 million in just over a week
Its top 10 sales range from $397,000 to $1 million
What would the price be if it were on the Bitcoin network?
Let's see if we can break that record.
🗣️ Why such a big project needs to move to the Bitcoin network any industry allows the biggest profits to pioneers, which is why the flor of Ordinals from the first thousand is now higher than most NFT collections on Ethereum. Enterprising cryptans can make money from speculation and derivative collections.
The resurgence of interest in Bitcoin: for a long time now, BTC has been perceived exclusively as "digital gold" and used mostly for accumulation and long-term investments. Ordinaries, on the other hand, were able to bring activity back to the network and attract the attention of cryptos, who previously had no interest in buying BTC.
💬 Secure decentralized storage: If you exclude the speculative factor, Bitcoin is one of the few networks considered truly decentralized. Plus, Ordinals are fully stored on-chain unlike Ethereum (and most other) NFTs whose images are recorded on third-party cloud storage.
More info in our twitter and telegram accounts: u/Birds_BTC, t.me/BIRDS_BTC_news
Now Birds BTC (moonbirdsbtc.com 🦉) is being introduced via a brand-new protocol that is in the early stages of trending, and
could be an incredible opportunity to join the upcoming trend with the world's most popular
NFT collection in the world for only 0.008 BTC.
Ordinary punks have shown the world that the demand for Bitcoin-NFT is high and can bring
positive changes to Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market. Now is a good time to enter one of the largest collection in the world - BUY Bitcoin NFT - before the Bitcoin NFT trend goes even more viral!
This is an exciting time for bitcoin and NFT, the potential ramifications of this and other similarprojects could be huge. The number of signatures continues to grow, despite current fees proving that there is huge demand for blockchain space!
The NFT market is already growing at a significant rate, and this could mark the beginning of a bullish growth.

“Watch out!” Bug Catcher Stacey throws a peace sign. “Your Bug Catcher is here! I’m Stacey, your Season 1 Ms Congeniality, and i’m here with the cast of season 2, REUNITED!”
The cast waves.
“I’m here to spill ALL of the tea and have fun with our cast, as well as crown our next Ms Congeniality! But first, let’s talk with one of the most shocking moments- as we opened the season with a DOUBLE SAVE!”
“God.” Royal rolls her eyes.
~
Rhonda Bout, Shantay you stay.
Rhonda gives a huge grin, and bows as everyone nods.
“She fucking slayed.” Princesita says. “I can’t.”
Kraven looks shocked. “So, is this-”
Kraven, my dear. You are a star. But, my tip? Just a little bit less attitude and more YOU.
Kraven looks slightly annoyed. “What-”
And you can do that whilst here, because shantay you ALSO stay!
Everyone looks shocked.
~
“What did everyone think of that moment?” Stacey asks.
“I think it was a good performance.” Delilah says. “However… did both deserve to stay?”
“For me… Rhonda did better.” Quincy responds.
“AGREED.” Royal snips.
Kraven rolls her eyes. “Okay, cunts..”
“I mean, the movement was fine. However, there was better.” Royal says.
“You know, Chronologica saved me for a reason.” Kraven looks at the others.
“Saved you.” Delilah responds.
“I mean-” Kraven looks annoyed. “I was a good performer. I won all my lip syncs.”
Maude chuckles. “Oh…”
“It’s just true, aye.” Kraven says.
“I feel like your cockiness was your fall here.” Delilah adds. “It’s a shame, it appears it hasn’t gotten better.”
“I think we’re all being harsh on Kraven here.” Diamond responds.
“Just because you’re hooking up…” Royal responds.
“You’re bitter tonight.” Diamond smiles at Royal.
Royal purses her lips.
“Moving on…” Stacey says. “This season had lots of moments of love, with powerful stories being told. Let’s look at one of these.”
~
“We give our all in this competition.” Destiny says. “We show our hearts, we perform, we give them a show. My heart is here to do it with love, first. And that’s important.”
“Always.” Royal responds. “I want- I will do that.”
“I didn’t expect this competition to challenge me like this.” Delilah looks in the mirror.
“But we preserve.” Kaneq says.
“We preserve.” Delilah nods.
“And make them proud!” Destiny yells.
~
“For me, I'll be honest.” Destiny says. “I’m someone who is HIV positive. I’ve been on medication for this for years, but one of the unfortunate effects is I feel like- part of it means I have slowed down. I have had riskier experiences due to extra risk to health issues.”
Mackenizie frowns, looking at Destiny. “I’m sorry to hear that.”
“It scares me, trying to perform like I used to. But damn, I love singing. I’m giving my all this week for it.” Destiny says. “And I think you seem scared, like me.”
“I just- I didn’t want to be the ugly one.” Mackenzie sighs. “I feel like it just- after last week, not getting that feedback-”
Black Diamond listens in and flutters her eyes.
Black Diamond: “Well, maybe if you had any issues with being the ugly one you should have worked on that crunchy wing first.” she smiles. “Like, girl please.”
“You looked great.” Destiny says. “For reference.”
“I don’t know about my makeup.” Mackenzie responds.
“Well… we can work on that.” Destiny smiles. “But both of us need to get on that damned main stage and give our heart and soul.”
Mackenzie smiles. “...I’ll try.”
“I’m scared too.” Destiny says. “But we’re here. Let’s celebrate it… and try our best.”
Mackenzie nods. “Let’s celebrate it.”
~
“How nasty you were, Diamond.” Mackenzie adds.
Black Diamond shrugs.
Destiny puts her hand on Mackenzie’s shoulder.
Mackenzie exhales. “I appreciated the sweet moment. I think- it was a challenge, this season… and I am appreciative of those moments.”
“Agreed.” Kaneq smiles.
“I-” Jemma looks at the others. “Didn’t always feel the love, though.”
The others look at Jemma.
“Like, no one gave me the love I needed.” Jemma responds. “And that was my fault too.”
“I agree.” Kaneq says. “I think you’re a star, Jemma.”
“Thank you.” Jemma says.
“But- there was this sense of superiority. And it felt like truly as much as we tried you couldn’t get there.” Kaneq responds.
“I think that was me. But also, we had someone like that make it to the end, and that wasn’t questioned.” Jemma responds. “Sooo…”
Royal looks uncomfortable in her seat.
“One shocking moment was this season’s disqualification, with Kraven exiting the competition… changing the game.”
~
Kraven, please step forward.
Kraven nods, as everyone eyes her.
It has come to my attention that you have broken the rules of this competition.
Everyone gasps.
Rules that are in place for a reason. Rules that stop us from further risk, harm and issue. We face enough outside- this should be a safe space.
And for that… you will be disqualified from this competition, effective immediately.
“Oh my god.” Royal gasps.
Everyone looks shocked.
I’m sorry my dear, I must say sashay… away.
“Fuck.” Kraven laughs. “Okay, mates.” Kraven laughs, walking off without another word.
~
“How fun.” Kraven says.
“Kraven… how do you feel now?”
“I- honestly, love it.” Kraven laughs.
The others look at Kraven.
“I think I came here for fucking fun. But I do regret hurting people. I come from a tough fucking scenario myself. But violence- thats not something I should’ve been perpetuating.”
“You know, I did think- it fun and games, cheeky stuff.” Rhonda says. “But that scared me.”
“Agreed.” Maude says.
“Real talk?” Kraven looks at Maude and Rhonda. “I didn’t mean to fucking hurt or scare- anyone like that. I’d never actually throw a punch.”
“We all make mistakes.” Destiny says. “The fact you’re saying this is testament.”
“I was a bit of a bitch, too.” Jemma responds. “Soo… I’m sorry too.”
“A bit.” Royal says shadily.
“Don’t worry babe, we’ll get to you.” Jemma smiles.
Rhonda and Maude sip from a drink with two straws.
“Stacey, when you wanna talk about the finalists, I’m here.” Jemma grins.
“This season had a strong first, with a shocking LIP SYNC CHALLENGE that would change everything.”
~
Up until this point, my top 8- some of you have lip synced, whilst others have not.
Well, now… everything changes.
For this week’s maxi challenge, you will be competing in a lip sync BATTLE, racers!
3 rounds, 10 lip syncs, where one person will WIN the challenge… and one will be eliminated.
Mackenzie Jacobs: “I’m conscious the last time I lip synced for my life, I was sent home. But I feel excited for this challenge. I KNOW I can prove myself.”
Round 1 will have you racers face off in a high-energy tune. The winners from round one's lip sync will continue to the winner’s bracket, whilst the losers will face off in the loser bracket. They will lip sync to a Ballad moment in round 2, where the winner’s bracket will battle in one final lip sync for the challenge win, and the losers bracket will have one last shot to lip sync for their LIVES… to a drag CLASSIC.
“Ooft.” Rhonda says.
Now, racers- put on your lip sync best and get ready for a BATTLE.
~
“For our eliminated Queens, what did you think?” Stacey asks.
“UGH!” Kraven yells. “I’d have destroyed Welcome to the Black Parade.”
“True.” Diamond nods.
“I loved the challenge.” Delilah says. “I actually think everyone eliminated would’ve done well.”
“We’re a bunch of damn performers, BABY!” Princesita grins.
“It was tough.” Quincy says. “Because I love performing and would’ve been happy to engage in this challenge.”
“They weren’t ready for us.” Delilah smiles.
Quincy grins.
Blondie continues eyeing the others, having stayed silent.
“It was such a fun challenge.” Mackenzie says. “And well and truly, I felt like for me- and Rhonda, it solidified our spot in this competition.”
“And then we lip synced the next ep! The twist!” Rhonda yells.
“It was exciting though.” Kaneq nods. “It also validated how everyone here is a fighter.”
“Even the lip sync survivors…” Maude chuckles.
“Maude, do you feel as if you were a lip sync survivor, as you were categorised as?”
“I-” Maude purses her lips. “Am not the most mind blowing lip syncer.”
“But you’re not a pushover.” Destiny smiles.
“I agree.” Maude says. “I lip synced 5 times in Season 2.”
“Woah.” Princesita gasps.
“Considering, I believe I did really good.” Maude smiles.
“And don’t let anyone say otherwise.” Blondie says. “Listening to others is the source of sadness, sometimes.”
“What do you mean, Blondie?” Stacey asks.
“You know, people like Rachelle Mirage are great best friends. People who have you know, floated to the top, because of their more famous, more talented friends…” Blondie starts.
“Oop!” Jemma yells.
“I love Rachelle Mirage. She has so many opinions.” Blondie smiles. “Despite not having done drag, not understanding the long, varied history of character drag Queens, not knowing how people commit to a persona, or meaning… or…. You know, understanding what a living art piece is, because you LACK the intelligence.”
“I saw it.” Maude says. “I get it. Because I’m a damn nerd.”
Blondie chuckles.
“Not everyone gets it.” Blondie nods. “They can live in their blissful ignroance.”
The group looks awkwardly.
Now, this season ended with a grand finale wherein our second crowned Queen was Kaneq. Let’s revisit the final 3.
~
Mother Destiny Dandridge.
Destiny struts out in a black and silver bejeweled jumpsuit, fitted to accentuate her curves as a big girl, with a deep V-neckline and long, flowing sleeves embellished with sparkling silver rhinestones and sequins, arranged in intricate geometric patterns that catch the light as she moves. To top it off, Mother has a dramatic cape made of black feathers, lined with silver sequins and trimmed with faux diamonds.
Royal Virtue.
Arriving with a smile, Royal Virtue stomps onto the stage in a futuristic and metallic dress in silver with a high collar and long sleeves, serving a sci-fi fantasy. Royal walks out with a long train… and complete the look, Royal has a metallic silver crown with her Haus member’s names embossed, showcasing her own love for the Regal persona.
And Kaneq!
Usingtraditional Inuit materials, such as seal fur, caribou hide, and Arctic fox fur, Kaneq looks like a mix between both traditional and modern elements, featuring sleek lines and bold colours. They arrive in a headdress adorned with feathers and beads, as well as a statement necklace, bracelets, and earrings, with fierce makeup, bold and dramatic colours, including reds, blacks, and blues, with a gorgeous gown to add the final touch.
~
“I think this top 3 is phenomenal.” Delilah says. “I have to say, my sister-” Delilah looks at Destiny. “Was my pick.”
“You are too sweet.” Destiny responds.
“How do you feel, getting cut at the top 3, Destiny?”
“I think it was a valid choice.” Destiny smiles. “For me, I was proud of this journey I admire. And that’s what is important.”
“This was such a competitive final 3.” Kaneq adds. “I believe any of us could take it.”
“But I think- it’s quite clear, you deserved it girl.” Diamond says.
“You’re a fucking star, mate. And I can’t wait to see what you bring.” Kraven nods.
Kaneq looks at everyone with a grin.
“And let’s be real, there was only one option with this top 2.” Jemma laughs.
Royal scoffs.
“Okay, Jemma- what do you mean?” Stacey asks.
“I am a social girl. When filming ended-”
“First of all-” Royal interrupts.
“Oh no babe. You’ll let me finish talking, then you have your piece.” Jemma responds.
Royal rolls her eyes.
“I decided to put together a group chat. All the gals. And within 2 hours, Royal left. Sure, babe. A few months later, promo time. I hear Royal say to a makeup artist that ‘She doesn’t feel these girls are her family, she’s taking the crown and will make her family proud.’ And that’s shady, darling.” Jemma responds.
“Mhm.” Diamond says.
“That’s not even the quote, but ok.” Royal snaps.
“Then tell us, what was the quote? Why did you leave?” Jemma smiles.
“My phone…. Wasn’t working. I missed it. I apologise.” Royal says.
“Come on.” Mackenzie says.
“It’s true.” Royal splutters.
“I think you are a calculated Queen. You put on a persona, did this whole storyline… and people weren’t eating you up. Too bad.” Jemma smiles.
“I think you should shut up.” Royal snaps.
“THERE SHE IS!” Jemma laughs. “She’s got nasty.”
“Girls…” Destiny adds.
“All I’m saying is… I hope you enjoy your runner up status.”
“Whatever.” Royal glares.
“I was just being factual!” Jemma responds.
“Factual is hateful.” Royal looks on.
“...I think we need to realise, we’ve all stars.” Destiny says. “So, we celebrate and be thankful. Royal, you’re a talent.”
Royal looks on, annoyed.
“Jemma, you are too. And we come together and deliver, and be proud idols for the world.” Destiny smiles.
Everyone nods.
“On that note… Racers. It’s time for me to hand over my crown.” Stacey grins. “It’s time to evolve into our season 2 Miss Congeniality.”
Everyone looks excitedly as Stacey pulls out a sash.
“Our Ms Congeniality… is….” Stacey looks over. “MOTHER DESTINY DANDRIDGE!”
Everyone claps as Destiny smiles, with Stacey putting her sash on.
“I…” Destiny grins. “Thank you. I love you all.”
“No matter what- this is a drag show where anything is possible. So celebrate, enjoy and for now- goodbye and good luck!” Stacey waves with a smile. “We’ll be seeing you soon… with the cast of Season 3, REVEALED!

“Watch out!” Bug Catcher Stacey throws a peace sign. “Your Bug Catcher is here! I’m Stacey, your Season 1 Ms Congeniality, and i’m here with the cast of season 2, REUNITED!”
The cast waves.
“I’m here to spill ALL of the tea and have fun with our cast, as well as crown our next Ms Congeniality! But first, let’s talk with one of the most shocking moments- as we opened the season with a DOUBLE SAVE!”
“God.” Royal rolls her eyes.

“I’m scared too.” Destiny says. “But we’re here. Let’s celebrate it… and try our best.”
Mackenzie nods. “Let’s celebrate it.”
~
“How nasty you were, Diamond.” Mackenzie adds.
Black Diamond shrugs.
Destiny puts her hand on Mackenzie’s shoulder.
Mackenzie exhales. “I appreciated the sweet moment. I think- it was a challenge, this season… and I am appreciative of those moments.”
“Agreed.” Kaneq smiles.
“I-” Jemma looks at the others. “Didn’t always feel the love, though.”
The others look at Jemma.
“Like, no one gave me the love I needed.” Jemma responds. “And that was my fault too.”
“I agree.” Kaneq says. “I think you’re a star, Jemma.”
“Thank you.” Jemma says.
“But- there was this sense of superiority. And it felt like truly as much as we tried you couldn’t get there.” Kaneq responds.
“I think that was me. But also, we had someone like that make it to the end, and that wasn’t questioned.” Jemma responds. “Sooo…”
Royal looks uncomfortable in her seat.
“One shocking moment was this season’s disqualification, with Kraven exiting the competition… changing the game.”
~
Kraven, please step forward.
Kraven nods, as everyone eyes her.
It has come to my attention that you have broken the rules of this competition.
Everyone gasps.
Rules that are in place for a reason. Rules that stop us from further risk, harm and issue. We face enough outside- this should be a safe space.
And for that… you will be disqualified from this competition, effective immediately.
“Oh my god.” Royal gasps.
Everyone looks shocked.
I’m sorry my dear, I must say sashay… away.
“Fuck.” Kraven laughs. “Okay, mates.” Kraven laughs, walking off without another word.
~
“How fun.” Kraven says.
“Kraven… how do you feel now?”
“I- honestly, love it.” Kraven laughs.
The others look at Kraven.
“I think I came here for fucking fun. But I do regret hurting people. I come from a tough fucking scenario myself. But violence- thats not something I should’ve been perpetuating.”
“You know, I did think- it fun and games, cheeky stuff.” Rhonda says. “But that scared me.”
“Agreed.” Maude says.
“Real talk?” Kraven looks at Maude and Rhonda. “I didn’t mean to fucking hurt or scare- anyone like that. I’d never actually throw a punch.”
“We all make mistakes.” Destiny says. “The fact you’re saying this is testament.”
“I was a bit of a bitch, too.” Jemma responds. “Soo… I’m sorry too.”
“A bit.” Royal says shadily.
“Don’t worry babe, we’ll get to you.” Jemma smiles.
Rhonda and Maude sip from a drink with two straws.
“Stacey, when you wanna talk about the finalists, I’m here.” Jemma grins.
“This season had a strong first, with a shocking LIP SYNC CHALLENGE that would change everything.”
~
Up until this point, my top 8- some of you have lip synced, whilst others have not.
Well, now… everything changes.
For this week’s maxi challenge, you will be competing in a lip sync BATTLE, racers!
3 rounds, 10 lip syncs, where one person will WIN the challenge… and one will be eliminated.
Mackenzie Jacobs: “I’m conscious the last time I lip synced for my life, I was sent home. But I feel excited for this challenge. I KNOW I can prove myself.”
Round 1 will have you racers face off in a high-energy tune. The winners from round one's lip sync will continue to the winner’s bracket, whilst the losers will face off in the loser bracket. They will lip sync to a Ballad moment in round 2, where the winner’s bracket will battle in one final lip sync for the challenge win, and the losers bracket will have one last shot to lip sync for their LIVES… to a drag CLASSIC.
“Ooft.” Rhonda says.
Now, racers- put on your lip sync best and get ready for a BATTLE.
~
“For our eliminated Queens, what did you think?” Stacey asks.
“UGH!” Kraven yells. “I’d have destroyed Welcome to the Black Parade.”
“True.” Diamond nods.
“I loved the challenge.” Delilah says. “I actually think everyone eliminated would’ve done well.”
“We’re a bunch of damn performers, BABY!” Princesita grins.
“It was tough.” Quincy says. “Because I love performing and would’ve been happy to engage in this challenge.”
“They weren’t ready for us.” Delilah smiles.
Quincy grins.
Blondie continues eyeing the others, having stayed silent.
“It was such a fun challenge.” Mackenzie says. “And well and truly, I felt like for me- and Rhonda, it solidified our spot in this competition.”
“And then we lip synced the next ep! The twist!” Rhonda yells.
“It was exciting though.” Kaneq nods. “It also validated how everyone here is a fighter.”
“Even the lip sync survivors…” Maude chuckles.
“Maude, do you feel as if you were a lip sync survivor, as you were categorised as?”
“I-” Maude purses her lips. “Am not the most mind blowing lip syncer.”
“But you’re not a pushover.” Destiny smiles.
“I agree.” Maude says. “I lip synced 5 times in Season 2.”
“Woah.” Princesita gasps.
“Considering, I believe I did really good.” Maude smiles.
“And don’t let anyone say otherwise.” Blondie says. “Listening to others is the source of sadness, sometimes.”
“What do you mean, Blondie?” Stacey asks.
“You know, people like Rachelle Mirage are great best friends. People who have you know, floated to the top, because of their more famous, more talented friends…” Blondie starts.
“Oop!” Jemma yells.
“I love Rachelle Mirage. She has so many opinions.” Blondie smiles. “Despite not having done drag, not understanding the long, varied history of character drag Queens, not knowing how people commit to a persona, or meaning… or…. You know, understanding what a living art piece is, because you LACK the intelligence.”
“I saw it.” Maude says. “I get it. Because I’m a damn nerd.”
Blondie chuckles.
“Not everyone gets it.” Blondie nods. “They can live in their blissful ignroance.”
The group looks awkwardly.
Now, this season ended with a grand finale wherein our second crowned Queen was Kaneq. Let’s revisit the final 3.
~
Mother Destiny Dandridge.
Destiny struts out in a black and silver bejeweled jumpsuit, fitted to accentuate her curves as a big girl, with a deep V-neckline and long, flowing sleeves embellished with sparkling silver rhinestones and sequins, arranged in intricate geometric patterns that catch the light as she moves. To top it off, Mother has a dramatic cape made of black feathers, lined with silver sequins and trimmed with faux diamonds.
Royal Virtue.
Arriving with a smile, Royal Virtue stomps onto the stage in a futuristic and metallic dress in silver with a high collar and long sleeves, serving a sci-fi fantasy. Royal walks out with a long train… and complete the look, Royal has a metallic silver crown with her Haus member’s names embossed, showcasing her own love for the Regal persona.
And Kaneq!
Usingtraditional Inuit materials, such as seal fur, caribou hide, and Arctic fox fur, Kaneq looks like a mix between both traditional and modern elements, featuring sleek lines and bold colours. They arrive in a headdress adorned with feathers and beads, as well as a statement necklace, bracelets, and earrings, with fierce makeup, bold and dramatic colours, including reds, blacks, and blues, with a gorgeous gown to add the final touch.
~
“I think this top 3 is phenomenal.” Delilah says. “I have to say, my sister-” Delilah looks at Destiny. “Was my pick.”
“You are too sweet.” Destiny responds.
“How do you feel, getting cut at the top 3, Destiny?”
“I think it was a valid choice.” Destiny smiles. “For me, I was proud of this journey I admire. And that’s what is important.”
“This was such a competitive final 3.” Kaneq adds. “I believe any of us could take it.”
“But I think- it’s quite clear, you deserved it girl.” Diamond says.
“You’re a fucking star, mate. And I can’t wait to see what you bring.” Kraven nods.
Kaneq looks at everyone with a grin.
“And let’s be real, there was only one option with this top 2.” Jemma laughs.
Royal scoffs.
“Okay, Jemma- what do you mean?” Stacey asks.
“I am a social girl. When filming ended-”
“First of all-” Royal interrupts.
“Oh no babe. You’ll let me finish talking, then you have your piece.” Jemma responds.
Royal rolls her eyes.
“I decided to put together a group chat. All the gals. And within 2 hours, Royal left. Sure, babe. A few months later, promo time. I hear Royal say to a makeup artist that ‘She doesn’t feel these girls are her family, she’s taking the crown and will make her family proud.’ And that’s shady, darling.” Jemma responds.
“Mhm.” Diamond says.
“That’s not even the quote, but ok.” Royal snaps.
“Then tell us, what was the quote? Why did you leave?” Jemma smiles.
“My phone…. Wasn’t working. I missed it. I apologise.” Royal says.
“Come on.” Mackenzie says.
“It’s true.” Royal splutters.
“I think you are a calculated Queen. You put on a persona, did this whole storyline… and people weren’t eating you up. Too bad.” Jemma smiles.
“I think you should shut up.” Royal snaps.
“THERE SHE IS!” Jemma laughs. “She’s got nasty.”
“Girls…” Destiny adds.
“All I’m saying is… I hope you enjoy your runner up status.”
“Whatever.” Royal glares.
“I was just being factual!” Jemma responds.
“Factual is hateful.” Royal looks on.
“...I think we need to realise, we’ve all stars.” Destiny says. “So, we celebrate and be thankful. Royal, you’re a talent.”
Royal looks on, annoyed.
“Jemma, you are too. And we come together and deliver, and be proud idols for the world.” Destiny smiles.
Everyone nods.
“On that note… Racers. It’s time for me to hand over my crown.” Stacey grins. “It’s time to evolve into our season 2 Miss Congeniality.”
Everyone looks excitedly as Stacey pulls out a sash.
“Our Ms Congeniality… is….” Stacey looks over. “MOTHER DESTINY DANDRIDGE!”
Everyone claps as Destiny smiles, with Stacey putting her sash on.
“I…” Destiny grins. “Thank you. I love you all.”
“No matter what- this is a drag show where anything is possible. So celebrate, enjoy and for now- goodbye and good luck!” Stacey waves with a smile. “We’ll be seeing you soon… with the cast of Season 3, REVEALED!

*I did actually edit this some so feel free to give it a read if you want. At this point I'm on the verge of calling it quits in my odyssey for a partner. I honestly don't mean that in a depressing way it's just tiring getting to know people day in day out only for them to be fake/scammebot or just have it fizzle out after weeks of texting and the inevitable "This isn't going anywhere, good luck on your search" text. Now I have to add crazy people to the list. Just because I ask you questions doesn't mean I don't know about myself as a person or what I want lol.
I apologize as it's a bit of a novel and doesn't quite make grammatical sense in some spots. I can read goodly now and again lol. The reason it says M4R is because it's Male for Redditor as in I mainly like women and trans women but I also like a very very very specific type of guy and trans men as I'm partially bi. Chances are you aren't that type but feel free to ask if you are. (Didn’t want to offend anyone so I’d rather say in private) Just throwing that out there as it's a deal breaker for most women. Which why would it be? The number one reason I get is I'm going to cheat on them with a guy. As if being bi has any bearing on cheating and not the persons character.
I'm a 34 year old guy living in the middle-ish of Texas looking for a female partner. Partner as in LTR. That's Long Term Relationship meaning boyfriend and girlfriend and holding hands type of stuff. You know, adult things? I had someone comment I was too vague so this is me being specific. I'm gonna be honest and kinda sad so bare with me.
So I spent New Years alone (I realize it's March lol but I have yet to meet someone and I think the story is relevant). Rang in the New Year in bed staring at the ceiling listening to fireworks go off into the night. The next day I cried randomly while browsing for a movie to watch on TV. At first I didn't know why as I'm not much of a crier but I realized for the first time that I genuinely felt alone. I have no partner, no family that I speak to, no friends just acquaintances, really no one there for me. That's my own doing which took years to accomplish through me being closed off and just shutting people out, so I figure it might take just as long to fix. I'm not complaining as I got myself into this predicament. It's gonna sound dumb but I wanted a New Years kiss. I'd never had one and it seemed like a fun dumb silly thing to do. Eh maybe one day. Ok well back to my spiel. (I'm not depressed or anything or wanting attention) Some of my hobbies and interests are movies, reading, cooking, kayaking, records, video games, board games, snorkeling, bowling, swimming, escape rooms, puzzles and antiquing. I would describe myself as more goofy and dorky than nerdy. I like to go out and do fun things but also stay in and cuddle and relax. I guess it depends on my mood and the weather. I prefer the cold and would love to live in a state with actual seasons and snow. I'm 5'10, stocky, 34 and open for adventure and new experiences.
Here are some random facts about me:
Some of my favorite bands are: The Black Keys, Kings of Leon, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The White Stripes.
Christmas is my favorite holiday, mainly because of the cold and festive activities.
I come from a medium-ish family.
I'm exceptionally patient but every person has a breaking point lol
I like traveling a lot. It's a basic thing that lots of people like. But I've found lots of people hate to leave their house, town or state so if that's you we probably might not be a good match. I also enjoy the mountains. But I don't like roughing it (give me that sweet AC in the summer). Hiking is so hard on my knees and I haven't done it in a while that if I were to I think about doing it I'd about die or twist a kankle.
I don't eat seafood, mushrooms, artichokes or pineapple on pizza (Who cares about this? Doesn't mean I won't go to a restaurant with you that has these things)
Never went to college as I'm horrible in a classroom setting and at taking tests.
Have probably the most boring job imaginable (Ask me about it)
Overweight but working on better choices (Get healthier and lose weight together?)
Non religious but no issue with what you believe. (If anything)
Looking into sterilization. If you are already maybe you can give me some info or tips?
My own red flags 🚩
I work too much and oftentimes can't talk.
I send selfies often. I'm a visual person and like receiving photos. Apparently it's a generational thing. Hopefully you think pictures are neat as well? Is it really that weird to want to see you and your life and show you mine?
I sometimes speedily become attached to people, not in a weird way, but if I like you and we have some kind of connection, I will enjoy talking to you and want to do it often.
I'm a very organized person and will plan out pretty much anything from a vacation to a road trip to a birthday. This makes being with a go with the flow type of person hard at times I've learned but very doable.
Due to childhood trauma I'm secretive.
MY own "HELL YES" 🏁
I know how to cook.
I will always drive if you want. (Within reason)
Great at escape rooms and jigsaw puzzles.
Can read a map.
Decent at reading backwards upside down writing.
What I'm looking for:
Is my age or older. But I'm willing to go quite a bit lower if you are neat and we have stuff in common. But super young isn't my goal here.
Mature, considerate, responsible and funny (Dorky wouldn't hurt)
Someone who never cheats, honesty and trust are important to me.
Someone who is open-minded, willing to try new things, be adventurous, funny and nerdy.
Someone who believes in sharing household chores equally because we are both adults.
Be open and frank about issues you or I are having. Not pushy or jealous. Won't yell or argue about stupid things, I've had enough of that.
Willing to push me to become a better version of myself (Can you turn me into Batman?)
If this sounds like you then feel free to reach out and say hi or challenge me to a game of Scrabble/Pictionary/hand to hand combat maybe? Maybe Wordle or some online vidya game?
P.S. I realize my post isn't for everyone but if your seeing red flags from my post then I'd say trust your gut and please don't message me. We probably aren't compatible. I honestly don't mean that in a mean or hurtful way. I've just been messaged quite often with women saying they pushed aside red flags to get to know me. Please don't, it never ends well and we end up wasting both of our time.
