The protagonist in 'Stiff' is Mary Roach herself, but not in the traditional sense. She acts as our curious guide through the bizarre world of human cadavers. The real stars are the dead bodies she investigates - from crash test dummies to medical school specimens. Roach gives these silent subjects a voice by exploring their postmortem journeys with humor and respect. Her hands-on approach takes readers inside dissection labs, composting facilities, even a body farm where scientists study decomposition. What makes her narrative compelling is how she balances scientific rigor with deeply human questions about mortality, making us reconsider our relationship with death through these anonymous donors who continue to serve humanity after passing.

To the harm-wrenching question that gnaws at every 'Attack on Titan' fan: is Eren Yeager die or not?Of course, Eren is the main character and soul of this series. Since the beginning we have started off rooting for him, witnessed his victories and sighed over his defeats but there's no way around it: Yes, Eren meets a sorry end.But let's face it, the series had been a whole full of fighting, resistance and sacrifice. Eren's death is just one more such event. It's not as if it lacks meaning, though. He dies for what he believes in; for his friends and his people, Eren puts his life on the line. In that sense, his end is every bit the hero he was, reflecting the show's overlapping themes of duty, sacrifice and hope, bringing them right down to personal level.As you finish up that episode, have your tissue box to hand, because it really speaks to the heart.

I've been obsessed with 'The God of Reality' since the first chapter dropped, and that ending? Absolute perfection. The final arc wraps up with this mind-bending convergence of all the protagonist's struggles—his godlike powers, his fractured relationships, and that haunting question of whether he’s still human. The climax hits when he confronts the original 'God of Reality,' a twisted mirror version of himself who represents everything he could’ve become if he’d embraced his power without restraint. Their battle isn’t just fists and energy blasts; it’s a war of ideologies, with reality itself tearing apart around them. The way the author visualizes their clash—dimensions collapsing like shattered glass, time looping back on itself—it’s chaotic but poetic.
In the end, the protagonist does the unthinkable: he sacrifices his divinity to rewrite the world’s rules. Not to control everything, but to erase the very concept of a 'God of Reality.' The cost? His memories. The final chapters show him waking up as an ordinary guy in a world where superpowers never existed, but there’s this lingering sense of déjà vu—like he’s dreaming fragments of his past life. The side characters get these subtle, open-ended resolutions too. His former rival runs into him at a café and stares for just a second too long, as if recognizing something. His love interest, now a stranger, bumps into him on the street and apologizes with a smile that feels eerily familiar. It’s bittersweet but hopeful, leaving you wondering if some bonds transcend even rewritten universes.

Oh, this is right up my alley — I love hunting through old translations. If you're looking for a free online tool to search words in the 'American Standard Version' (often called the ASV), there are several solid options I use depending on how deep I want to go.
First off, BibleGateway and BibleStudyTools both host the 'American Standard Version' and provide decent keyword and phrase searching with filters (exact phrase, whole words, etc.). BibleHub and Blue Letter Bible are my go-tos when I want parallel translations, interlinear help, and Strong's links; both include ASV text since it's public domain. For a raw text approach, Wikisource and Project Gutenberg have the full ASV as plain text or HTML, which lets me use the browser find (Ctrl/Cmd+F) or download and grep through it locally.
A pro tip I use: when you need precise hits, wrap the phrase in quotes on those sites, or use Google with site:somesite.org and your search term plus 'ASV' to pull up matches across a host. If you're doing programming, some free Bible APIs and the SWORD module collection include ASV too, so you can programmatically search. Happy to walk through a specific site or show the little tricks I use for phrase vs. morphological searches — it makes a world of difference.

As a longtime K-pop fan who’s followed TXT since their debut, I’ve seen a lot of speculation about their military enlistment timelines. TXT’s oldest member, Soobin, was born in 2000, which means he’ll likely enlist around 2025 or 2026, depending on when he decides to go. The other members—Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai—are all younger, with birthdays ranging from 2001 to 2002, so their enlistment would follow accordingly, likely between 2026 and 2028. Given that K-pop groups usually stagger enlistments to minimize hiatuses, TXT’s full disbandment wouldn’t happen until the last member completes service, which could be around 2030 or later if they choose to renew their contracts.
Military service in Korea is mandatory, but HYBE, their agency, has a track record of managing enlistments smoothly for groups like BTS. TXT might follow a similar strategy, releasing solo or subunit projects during enlistment periods to keep fans engaged. There’s also the possibility of early enlistment for some members, which could shorten the overall timeline. However, disbandment isn’t inevitable—many groups reunite after service, like TVXQ and Super Junior. TXT’s strong bond and loyal fanbase make it likely they’ll continue as a group post-enlistment, even if activities slow down temporarily.

Downloading 'Salem's Lot' on Kindle is a straightforward process that I’ve done countless times. First, ensure your Kindle device or app is connected to your Amazon account. Open the Kindle Store on your device or through the Amazon website. Use the search bar to type in 'Salem's Lot' by Stephen King. Once you find the correct title, click on it to view the product page. If you’re purchasing, select the 'Buy Now' option. If it’s part of Kindle Unlimited, you can borrow it directly. After completing the purchase or borrowing, the book will automatically download to your Kindle library. If it doesn’t appear immediately, sync your device by pulling down the screen or using the sync option in the app. Now, you’re ready to dive into this classic horror tale.
For those new to Kindle, make sure your device is registered to your Amazon account. This ensures seamless access to your purchases. If you’re using the Kindle app on a smartphone or tablet, the process is identical. Just open the app, search for the book, and follow the same steps. I’ve found that keeping my Kindle updated with the latest software also helps avoid any download issues. Happy reading!

I’m the kind of person who gets oddly investigative when I spot something shady online, so here’s the straightforward way I handle suspected copyright violations of 'Blue Archive' on 'Archive of Our Own'. First, collect everything: clear URLs to the infringing work(s), screenshots (with timestamps if possible), and proof that you or the rights-holder owns the original material — official pages, press releases, or DM from the publisher can help. I save everything in one document so I’m not scrambling later.
Next, submit a DMCA-style takedown. 'Archive of Our Own' has a copyright/DMCA contact (check their site for the current address; it’s commonly listed as dmca@archiveofourown.org). Your message should identify the copyrighted work, provide exact URLs of the infringing content, give your contact info, and include a statement of good faith plus a declaration under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate. Sign it (an electronic signature is usually fine).
If you’re not the rights-holder, reach out to the official publisher/developer of 'Blue Archive' and ask them to file. I also sometimes message the uploader politely first — some people repost without realizing — but for repeated or commercial reposts, go straight to the DMCA route. Keep copies of everything and follow up if nothing happens; it can take a little time, but persistence often pays off.

Hot take: 'Clamied by My Bestie’s Alpha Guardian' is way more complicated than the throwaway romance hook the title promises. I dove in expecting playful banter and got a rollercoaster with some dark twists, so if you’re sensitive to certain content, it’s worth a heads-up.
There are explicit sexual scenes — not just flirtation — and several moments that read as dubious consent or full non-consensual encounters. The dynamic between guardian and ward leans heavily on power imbalance: protective vibes cross into control, and that bleeds into emotional manipulation and possessiveness. There are also Omegaverse-style elements (mating bonds, claiming, heat-related scenes) that can feel intense, especially if you’re uncomfortable with body-oriented or biologically framed coercion. Other triggers I flagged include physical restraint/kidnapping, interpersonal violence, and stalking-like behavior. Language can be rough at times, and grief or the threat of death crops up in a few arcs.
I’d recommend skimming the author’s notes and tags before committing to a long read; they often list 'dub-con', 'noncon', 'age gap', 'Omegaverse', or 'mpreg' if relevant. If you’re sensitive to any of those themes, consider reading with caution or skipping flagged chapters. Personally, I found the character moments compelling despite the rough edges — the emotional payoff lands for me, but it definitely left my chest tight in places.
