BULLET POINTS (𝖿𝗎𝗅𝗅 𝖻𝗂𝗈 soon)

tw: substance abuse, abuse, death mention

joey was born in acapulco, mexico when their parents were visiting their mother’s family. it was a complicated birth and the family had to stay in the coast for around six months before moving to ny, where they resided

there is a total of seven paredes siblings, jo is the sixth in line

their family is… well accommodated in the new york social circle. their mom is a socialite daughter of a former mexican president and has made a name for herself in wallstreet (think jordan belfort) and their dad was a professor at columbia

joey was the black sheep of their family for a very young age, they were the polar opposite to the paredes', but had to play the part as one of the clan while living under their roof

they DID live a double life while in new york, whatosever. a pseudio socialite, golden child on one side and a rebel anarchist on the other.

they began abusing substances at a VERY young age, due to the people they had in their circle and their inability to handle stuff and feelings

almost got married, once. they broke off the engagement days before the big day after a big fight with their ex turned sour and yeah, they bounced

their father died when they were 21 which prompted them to finally leave ny and escape their family— which ultimately brought them to oceanview. they got themselves a job as a bartender at some local pub and slowly build themselves a career as a local dj— yet their dream is to one day become a music producer

PERSONALITY

they have a hard time letting people in? they are chill, will joke with you for hours and do their best to make you laugh, but actually connecting with people is hard for her bc trust issues.

lowkey has an alcohol & drugs dependency problem but won’t accept it because it’s the only way they can handle their life, rlly is trying to get it together and be LESS OF A MESS

is really a hot mess™ with a decent heart who just wants to start over and be themselves for the first time in their life and meet people and make people smile and have fun, for the most part means well ( unless she doesn’t like you then lol gl ) but feelings and things just… can’t. do. human. things.

hates the way they are. lowkey tho, lowkey. likes to pretend she is a robot and doesn’t feel anything but lmao who u playin’ she feels everything just doesn’t let people see that because caring is weakness

also ALSO their sexuality is… complicated? i’d describe it as pan? except she is v picky when it comes to men? like, hasn’t been attracted to men in years but with the right guy it could happen????? when it comes to girls tho???? 100% has a crush on 20 girls at the same time ngl and they are FLIRTY.

Historically Booker’s native language would be Occitan and not French . He would also probably deeply resent standard / Parisian French since the government did their damnest to erase regional languages and still do it today .

Agreed! There was another post about this, but since I got an ask (I love you, anon) I’ll elaborate. Buckle up for a primer on the evolution of the French language with a brief aside for troubadours, traveling musician-poets you wish were still a career option. No, being a rock star is not quite the same.

In the early medieval period (as early as ~900CE), the country we now call France had a language divide between the northern and southern regions. In the north, they spoke langues d'oïl which is what eventually became modern standard French. In the south, they spoke Occitan or lenga d'òc and a modern form of this language is known as Provençal. Looking at the regional sub-dialects, the more northern Occitan begins to sound like a langue d’oil and the more southern dialects begin to sound like Spanish.

As I touched upon in a previous post, this is because they all share similar roots as a romance language. Even though modern standard French is a langue d’oil, occitan managed to sneak a few things into the language. If you’ve learned French as a second language, you’ll know that when you respond yes (oui) to a negative question (you don’t like cheese? / tu n’aimes pas le fromage?) that you use a different yes (si). This is a skeleton of Occitan!

The why of the invention of “standard French” is, as most “standard” things are, a detour into nationalism. In 1635, Cardinal Richelieu (under Louis XIII) founded the Académie Française (French Academy) which was tasked with standardizing the French language so that it could be exported to the rest of Europe and used to gain further prestige of the role of French philosophers during the Enlightenment. During the French Revolution, it was disregarded, but Napoleon Bonaparte restored it as part of the Institut de France (Institute of France) in 1803. To this day, the Académie is tasked with publishing the French dictionary and inventing new words for things such as “e-mails” so that the French needn’t stoop to using English loan-words.

Another part of this was the Toubon Law (August 1994) which required French (the standard French from the Académie) to be used in all official documents and advertising. It required all advertising to use French and even set a certain percentage of music on the radio that must be French. This law was literally the government going “let’s make the French french again.” If a school doesn’t instruct in French (modern, standard French of course), then they can’t receive government funds. The only exception is Breton-language schools (Breton is as north as it gets and is a langue d’oil so it still helps crush Occitan).

Since the previous paragraph probably made you mad as heck, let me give you some irony to laugh at: some French people refer to this as the loi Allgood (“law” Allgood). To explain this joke, it helps to know that Toubon is the last name of the Minister of Culture at the time the law was passed. If you break down his last name, it sounds like “tout bon” in French which translates to “all good.” People took this law saying make everything French, goddammit and replied, sure thing Minister All-Good. I love it.

Now, for the troubadours! I learned standard modern French in high school, but at university I came across Occitan because of those romantic poets. I’ll put this aside below the break so you can continue on with your day if for some reason you’re not interested in medieval French rock star-poets...

Let me begin by quoting the Wikipedia definition:

A troubadour was a composer and performer of Old Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100–1350). Since the word troubadour is etymologically masculine, a female troubadour is usually called a trobairitz.

Right away you may notice a few things: 1) they wrote and sang in Occitan; 2) it was an equal-opportunity field (though it was rare for a woman to be one). The first Troubadours were mostly noblemen, but later ones could come from any social class. Yes, you read that correctly: egalitarian travelling poets! If that doesn’t sell you on these performers, I don’t know what will. The troubadours spread their tradition throughout Europe and the only thing that could stop them was the Black Plague.

As you’d expect, they mostly sang about love. A lot of their poems were about courtly love and chivalry, but they could also get bawdy. The especially good performers would be sought after by courts like famous painters. Troubadours are essentially the apex bards: romantic, witty, charming, talented, and able to make serious bank.

To finish this, I will leave you with one of the bawdiest troubadour poems I know of, Farai un vers, pos mi somelh (The Ladies with the Cat) by Guillem de Peiteus. It’s essentially the story of a dude who has sex with these women who pick up a knight on a pilgrimage (though it plays with reality and this guy’s fantasies). I’ll include it in the original Occitan, and then a translation by Robert Kehew (I believe), verse-by-verse. Forgive me for my commentary in between, but I just want you to understand how freaking clever this poem is!

Farei un vers, pos mi somelh Em vauc e m’estauc al solelh. Domnas i a de mal conselh, E sai dir cals: Cellas c’amor de cavalier Tornon a mals.

While sound asleep I’ll walk along In sunshine, making up my song. Some ladies get the rules all wrong; I’ll tell you who: The ones that turn a knight’s love down And scorn it, too.

The singer is establishing himself as a troubadour. The protagonist is dreaming, so we should be careful about what is real and imagined. He’s also invoking the trope of the philandering knight constantly falling in love and breaking his heart.

Domna fai gran pechat mortal Qe no ama cavalier leal; Mas si es monge o clergal, Non a raizo: Per dreg la deuri’hom cremar Ab un tezo.

Grave mortal sins such ladies make Who won’t make love for a knight’s sake; And they’re far worse, the ones who’ll take A monk or priest-- They ought to get burned at the stake At the very least.

The Middle Ages were not at all chaste; yes, monks and priests were having sex. This isn’t as sexist as it may come across on a first reading however. He’s not saying women shouldn’t have sex (he’s actually saying that it’s a sin not to being having sex), he’s just upset that women who are clearly willing to have sex are turning *him* down. He’s not going to get any awards for feminist of the year, but he’s not the worst. I’m sure this would rouse cheers from a tavern.

En Alvernhe, part Lemozi, M’en aniey totz sols a tapi: Trobei la moller d’en Guari E d’en Bernart; Saluderon mi simplamentz Per sant Launart.

Down in Auvergne, past Limousin, Out wandering on the sly I ran Into the wives of Sir Guarin And Sir Bernard; They spoke a poper welcome then By St. Leonard.

These are recognizable locations along a pilgrimage route. There’s a good chance that these names are replaceable (Bernard can be replaced with any last name that rhymes with a saint) and this song could be used to goad the audience. And no, he hasn’t had sex with these ladies yet. They’re just saying hello (for now).

La unam diz en son latin: “E Dieus vos salf, don pelerin; Mout mi semblatz de bel aizin, Mon escient; Mas trop vezem anar pel mon De folla gent.”

One said in her dialect, “Sir Pilgrim, may the Lord protect Men so sweet-manned, so correct, With such fine ways; This whole world’s full of lunatics And rogues, these days.”

I think most would agree that this is happening in the knight’s sex-dream because she’s just sweet talking him. The awesome part is that the “dialect” reflects the singer actually adopting a Northern French language (they’re mutually intelligible). Guillem didn’t have to go that hardcore, but he did.

Ar auzires qu’ai respondut; Anc no li diz bat ni but, Ni fer ni fust no ai mentaugut, Mas sol aitan: “Barbariol, babariol, Babarian.”

For my reply--I’ll swear to you I didn’t tell them Bah or Boo, I answered nothing false of true; I just said, then, “Babario, babariew, Babarian.”

This guy just mocks their accents as a reply. Wildin’.

So diz n’Agnes a n’Ermessen: “Trobat avem que anam queren. Sor, per amor Deu, l’alberguem, Qe ben es mutz, E ja per lui nostre conselh Non er saubutz.”

So Agnes said to Ermaline, “Let’s take him home, quick; don’t waste time. He’s just the thing we’d hoped to find: Mute as a stone. No matter what we’ve got in mind, It won’t get known.”

In this stanza we see two repeats and a new thing. First, the names are easy to replace (Agnes doesn’t even have to rhyme with anything) so that this can be done to call out a specific woman’s name. Second, the language skills are being flaunted again as this Occitan-speaker is just casually showcasing that he can sing about sex in other languages too, thankyouverymuch. Lastly, this is WOMEN voicing their desire, not men. The man is silent, they think he’s incapable of speech. This is two women in a poem/song getting to steer the story how they please. Stepping back, this is a guy’s sex-dream so you could argue he’s just got a kink for dominant women, but regardless that’s a pretty cool way to turn masculinity on its head.

La unam pres sotz son mantel Menet m’en sa cambra, al fornel. Sapchatz qu’a mi fo bon a bel, El focs fo bos, Et eu calfei me volentiers Als gros carbos.

Under her cloak, one let me hide; We slipped up to her room’s fireside. By now I thought one could abide To play this role-- Right willingly I warmed myself At their live coals.

Yes, this dude is saying he’s more than happy to let the women take charge. Don’t kink-shame him.

A manjar mi deron capos, E sapchatz agui mais de dos, E noi ac cog ni cogastros, Mas sol nos tres, El pans fo blancs el vins fo bos El pebr’ espes.

They served fat capons for our fare-- I didn’t stop at just one pair; We had no cook or cook’s boy there, But just us three. The bread was white, the pepper hot, The wine flowed free.

A capon is a castrated rooster, fattened for eating. He’s being fattened (and emasculated by letting them take control) before the women get down to their fun with him.

“Sor, aquest hom es enginhos, E laissa lo parlar per nos: Nos aportem nostre gat ros De mantenent, Qel fara parlar az estros, Si de renz ment.”

N’Agnes anet per l’enujos, E fo granz et ac loncz guinhos: E eu, can lo vi entre nos, Aig n’espavent, Q’a pauc non perdei la valor E l’ardiment.

“Wait, sister, this could be a fake; He might play dumb just for our sake. See if our big red cat’s awake And fetch him, quick. Right here’s one silence we should break If it’s a trick.”

So Agnes brought that wicked beast, Mustachioed, huge, and full of yeast; To see him sitting at our feast-- Seemed less than good; I very nearly lost my nerve And hardihood.

So yes, he’s joking about almost loosing his boner and there’s that language play again. The big part of the ending, however, is the imagery of the red cat. Cats are typically associated with women, and the color red tempts the mind into thinking of it as female passion or some kind of prowling sexuality (with undertones of evil). The subtext here is that they’re going to test him by letting this cat scratch him up to see if he’ll cry out. If he can keep his mouth shut and allow the womens’ passions, he can stay. If he can’t, he’s out. Ultimately, I’m going to say that this poem is subtly for women’s empowerment. Go scratch up your knights, ladies.

First of all, LOVE this blog, thank you for all the info! Now, I'm writing a fic where a character needs a blood transfusion in the field, but his only companion is the wrong blood type - except he doesn't know that, because my whumpee's dog tags were printed incorrectly (O Pos instead of O Neg). I've been looking at a bunch of websites for info, but could you break down what might happen for me in layman's terms? This is happening in 1952-ish and both characters are Army doctors (M.A.S.H fic!)

Sure!

Before we go into what specifically could happen to your character, we should talk about why we need to pay attention to blood types at all, and what kinds of reactions can happen during or after a blood transfusion.

BLOOD TYPING AND COMPATIBILITY

Red blood cells (the kinds of blood cells that carry oxygen) have proteins on their surface called antigens. The most common antigens are “A” antigens and “B” antigens. Some people have only A antigens on their red blood cells (these people gave Type A blood). Some have only B antigens (Type B). Some have both A and B antigens (Type AB). And some have neither A nor B antigens (Type O).

There is also another antigen called the Rh(D) factor, which, for the purposes of this post, you either have (Positive) or you don’t (Negative). Statistically, about 85% of USAmericans have this Rh(D) factor. We learned about these in the early 1940s (so MASH characters would know about it). Rh is short for Rhesus (like the monkey) and the (D) is the specific type of Rh factor (there are several) that we have or do not have when it comes to blood typing.

The most common method of blood typing identifies the blood by it’s ABO group first, then it’s Rh(D) factor status. For example, someone with A antigens and the Rh(D) factor on their red blood cells would be type “A Positive” or “A+” while someone who had neither A nor B antigens and no Rh(D) factor on their red blood cells would be “O Neg, or “O-”.

The rule of thumb for transfusions is that you never want to put an antigen into someone’s body that they don’t already have. For example, someone who is type A+ could give to anyone who has both A antigens and Rh(D) antigens on their red blood cells- this could be people who are also A+, but could also be people who are AB+, because that A+ blood isn’t introducing an antigen that the AB+ person’s blood doesn’t recognize. Since they have no antigens at all, someone who is O- could in theory safely give blood to anyone.

See this link for a low-resource method of blood typing, as well as a list of compatible blood types.

TRANSFUSION REACTIONS

So when someone says “transfusion reaction” what do they mean?

Well, it could be a few different things. I’ll talk about 3 of them specifically here:

The first is an allergic reaction. There are a lot of different proteins in blood, as well as trace amounts of medications the donor may have taken or substances they may have been exposed to. Any one of these can cause an allergic reaction in the the recipient, but are usually not much more than hives and itching, which can be treated with antihistamines.

The second is a febrile reaction. This is an immune reaction against the donor’s white blood cells, with the body essentially treating them as though they are a virus or bacteria. This happens during or just after a transfusion. Typically, this causes a sudden fever, chills, headache, nausea, and body aches. While unpleasant, it is not life threatening and the body can still use the transfused red blood cells. It can be treated with acetaminophen to reduce the fever and aches.

The third is called an Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction (AHTR). This is what most people think of when they think of a transfusion reaction, and involves the recipient’s immune system attacking the donated red blood cells due to ABO-type incompatibility- for example, transfusing B blood into an A recipient.

This is similar to a febrile reaction against the white blood cells, however, instead of the body mistaking a few white blood cells for bacteria, it mistakes all the red blood cells for foreign invaders, which when destroyed dump harmful substances into the blood stream, effectively poisoning the recipient. Symptoms include chills, fever, chest and lower back pain, nausea, and severe kidney damage. The body also can’t use the donated red blood cells to carry oxygen, so not only are they poisoned, they’re just as low on red blood cells as they were before. If the kidney damage is bad enough, the recipient may need dialysis to remove the red blood cell poison goo in the blood, and possibly longer while the kidneys recover. How severe or life threatening this reaction is depends on how much blood the donor got. 30ml of blood may be unpleasant, but a whole unit could be deadly, so it is important to recognize the reaction and stop the transfusion as soon as these symptoms appear.

YOUR WHUMPEE

Now, fortunately for your whumpee and unfortunately for your whump fic, this AHTR thing will probably not happen to your character. Why not?

I’m interpreting your ask to mean that an O- whumpee is given O+ blood, meaning that the only incompatibility is that Rh(D) factor. This intuitively (especially considering what’s been said above) sounds like it should be a big deal, but in reality, Rh(D) compatibility is only kinda important.

See, when talking about ABO types, the blood is already primed to recognize and destroy other blood types because it already has antibodies against the A, B, or both A and B antigens it might see in donated blood. If type A blood is transfused into a type B recipient, they will very quickly experience that AHTR described above. Rh(D) incompatibility is a little different. If someone who is Rh(D) negative is given Rh(D) positive blood, they won’t have a (hemolytic) reaction right away, and they may not have a reaction at all. However, once given Rh(D) positive blood, their body will create antibodies against Rh(D) antigens. For the rest of their life, if they get another Rh(D) positive blood transfusion, they run the risk of a reaction called a Delayed Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction, or DHTR.

A DHTR is the same as an AHTR (the recipient immune system attacking the donated red blood cells), but it’s essentially in slow motion. The initial transfusion goes fine, but then days or weeks after, the antibodies created the first time the recipient’s immune system met Rh(D) positive red blood cells begin to very slowly attack the donated red blood cells. This happens so slowly that the kidneys are typically able to process the harmful substances dumped during the red blood cell death. This reaction usually has no symptoms, but may cause a mild fever or malaise over several weeks, along with an unexpected anemia (because the donated red blood cells are not useful once they’ve been attacked and killed).

Side Note: Rh(D) incompatible transfusions are a bigger deal for people with uteri who plan to use their uterus to make kids. If an Rh(D) negative uterus-haver gets an Rh(D) positive transfusion, and they later start making an Rh(D) positive kid, the antibodies they built up against the Rh(D) donated blood may attack the fetus, causing a miscarriage. Today, we have a medication that can be given to prevent this, but only if the pregnant person knows they’ve previously had an Rh(D) positive blood transfusion. In an emergency setting, if there’s a uterus haver and a non-uterus-haver who both are Rh(D) negative and need blood, and only one unit of Rh(D) negative blood is available, it will go to the uterus-haver, and the non-uterus-haver will get Rh(D) positive blood because it is less of a risk for them.

So what does this mean for your story? Given that both of your characters are doctors, here are some options if you want a transfusion reaction:

Keep everything as-is, have the whumpee have a febrile reaction (still unpleasant, plus some uneasiness as the caregiver isn’t sure whether it’s a febrile reaction or a AHTR).

Choose a different (incompatible) ABO type for the whumpee or caregiver (though keep in mind, at the point of a field transfusion, that whumpee is going to die without that blood, but will also die if given an incompatible blood transfusion too far from a dialysis machine, so...).

Have a situation where both characters know that their Rh(D) factors are incompatible, but choose to proceed with the transfusion anyway.

Clone Wars Escape from Kadavo

Well this is certainly a scene change and one that doesn’t really make sense,

I mean I thought it was a Camp of Holding for slaves

Where they got transported to different places on the island to do slave labor, per hap -s

Now there’s apparently a lava pit under it,

How?

That

-doesn’t make any sense

Also wtf,

Coal, metal

Since when was refinery really this place’s MO (Like this is really starting to feel like they got the Mandalorian And This Set -ting s Switch ed,)

Not to say they can’t be a coal/mining industry,

Just, that the setting should reflect it,

From we saw there was nothing to indicate this was anything but an ar chai c Soc-either

With no flues Or fu -mes

To indicate that they were burn Ing combustibles,

Honestly some kind of stalactites mine,

Or someplace where they dig for “valuables,” -like prized st- one for Jew elery- Would make more sense- - Anyway, I’m getting. way too focus -ed on the se- tt - Ing- - Again Rex is just straight up chilling, This is n’t his first rodeo with abusers,

Ok, seriously what was up with the Wil -h el m,?

(Like I don’t honestly see anything steep enough to fall off)

You could say it was a whip but we haven’t seen any Of That, Ye t-

I don’t get the screaming-

Also that dude just attacked him out of nowhere,

Like could we have gone establishment of that?

Like,

What was even his ber-zerk butt- on there?

Dude was doing his job

Like if it was a faster thing you kind of have to establish that before hand - Also then the environment, the ma jor ity, Would be working at a breakneck speed, With a sense of anxiety, In the air,

Then, the whip,

He- was?

(Like that was just plain - pointless

Not even an emotional reaction

Like that told us absolutely nothing about the setting and character

The mate didn’t even have a reaction

It’s one random guy that just decided to hit someone else-

Like that’s not even calculated never mind systematic,

Also I like how Rex like yeah I wouldn’t know anything about that, feck’in Jedi -

Also “Effect?”

Not really more like

“ Dave’s having a real rough day and I really don’t want to talk to (In that state)

Like they didn’t wince.

There was no antici pation-

No anxiety,

Like no signs of this is had a permanent psychologically damaging affect

(Note all toxic behavior is harmful, The difference here is Between The intensity of the in-dentation,

It can get pretty bad

And enabling tox can have serious effects (Pretty bad)

(Requiring a lot more time to undo)

From; Dave is really an asshole,

To I am really an asshole,

To The world is really an asshole (And Dave is the savior-)

(Apologies to anyone who’s chosen name is Dave or similar vernacular, It’s not out of any Mala- cian- Just the first identi fication I could think of,

And tox- ic logic is really not something you wanna enable,

Again what the Frick?

(This is really not an or-ganic way to introduce your rules

Like, “oh yeah speech is for-bidden, Have a nice day,”

Like you think dude-

Like you were pretty damn path -etic abu ser- (s) - (Sla vers) Wow,

There was no emotions or anything -be cause the set up was so poor,

W- h -a t

Again the emotion is non existence,

Also what the fuck happened to Rex over there? -

When did he go down?

(Like don’t get me wrong I saw a flash in the corner?)

But why him?

[also did the scenery just completely changed because he was on the far end of Ken- Obi with something in between

Some thing they were shoveling the stuff on?

That’s just gone in this shot]

[Also, From a narra- tive, standpoint wouldn’t it have made more sense and been a more engaging concept, If the guy had threat -ene d- The clone in Obi- wan’s stead, Seeing as of the republic’s version of slavery,

Rex pos s- ib ly

Reflec- ting on the (Other Species?)

And contrasted with them,

On how much Obi-Wan views him as a possession,

(Or his reaction to the people under him getting hot ,and why)

Allo- wing for more heart,

“I’m sorry,”

“No Wors e- Than The Kamino -ins,”

Rex’s Sub Cat;

Seeing the people he was trained (and order-ed) to protect Harm -ed - Much like the people (under him) were harmed during the Kamooin. s-

Groom -ing, ?]

Any -way,

Again, and what was the emotion? - M-aster

Rex must be like, Kar- ma

If he’s not,

[Never mind he isn’t asleep just one frame made it look weird?]

Ai- gh -t

Oh yeah seriously check up on that one guy instead of you know the person under the command,

Also;

What The fuck?

IS THAT GOOGLY EYES?

What the feck,

What is with that expression-

What is with that facial-

(Seriously someone tell me what emotions this is supposed to por- tray!

What?

Also yeah

they completely waltz. -ed past the ab- us -er. Be- Ing - Con- fron ted- by the Con- Seq- Uen Ce (s) Of their actions,

It’s not pointed out that Obi-Wan totally caused this by (not)- listen-ing, To dude’s initiative to stay out of it

(Or, what he did to Cody Rex, and basically all the clones,)

(And what could’ve been a good moral about negative effects of “Pos- itive over- invo lv e- Ment- )

so I am slightly big mad

Not com- -pletely

But I’m get-ting th-ere

Drinking my slightly bitter ju-ice-

Gett -ing pr-etty salty

Which is odd since I normally don’t criticize aesthetic differences

Like This- -

The problem is it isn’t the aesthetic that I have a problem with, (You want to have a Obi-Wan show more compassion to the slave of similar generation then to Rex?

(That’s per-fect-ly fine and could even show how he values his job and Mission over someone he is actually wound- ed-)

However that’s not it-

(It doesn’t even do that)

My problem with it is that it shows no emotion

No emphasis

No moral

It’s - empty - Watching this scene, there is absolutely nothing I get out of it,

Also wow that was a quick turnaround,

Like seriously it generally takes longer for that kind of behavior to be indented,

This is literally the only Jedi he’s seen be there

One time

This is barely scraping logic, And even then, not really requiring- pre-knowledge of the emotions and general plot (before hand)

I know that I should feel bad for the slave because slav-ery is a bad thing And any real person would be pretty upset it/ Suffer for the toxic environment,

Note; it’s not from the medium

I didn’t gain that knowledge from the medium

(In which the chara- cters actions and emotions, Make me conclude, “oh wow, slavery is a real bad thing!”

No the characters are wooden puppets with no emotion,

Going from; Point a to point B

Nothing to connect them (No preamble)

No emotions

No motive(s)

‘why is Obi-Wan doing what he’s doing?’

‘I don’t know’

(And I honestly don’t think the wr- iters did either)

And no damn interest

Barely scraping logic..

‘Why is Obi-wan doing what he’s doing,’

‘Because he has the rescue the slaves,’

‘ why does he have to rescue the slaves,?’

‘ because you have to rescue slaves,’

It’s literally circular

Rely- ing completely on the cookie cu- tter,

Resulting in it being as flat as a cookie when rolled over by a rolling pin,

Where It should; Be;

“ why does Obi-Wan want to rescue the slaves?”

“Because of his dedication to his moral compass/ because of his dedication to his generation/ non- clone- ena blers,/ (Whatever you want to put there)

(Hey that was almost emotion from ,Rex)

(We’re 2:29 Min Ut es In, And I’m already salty about the episode refusal to be fun,

That’s nice exposition *Palpatine*. Sidious,

Tra- dition (S);

Mill-

That’s literally all I -heard-

-(I assume they’re saying “millions,”)

Which would actually be neat if we got to see some you know human soldiers on the Darkside to counterbalance the whole do you know clone troopers, contrasting the dark side’ s more ethical but none the less toxic practices,

To the light side’s- Gen Break-

De- fiance?

(I think you mean that other Zygerian’s death because we have literally not seen the queen act even remotely rebellious,

Yeah she con- templates possibly free- ing them,

But we haven’t seen her openly communicate with either of these 2 to inform them

And she still wants to keep Anakin,

So she at least has one Jedi,

With the others possibly be blamed on a -prison break-

And literally nothing that we’ve seen com-municating the concept of open - rebel- lion

Or any of the connection between her and the separatist,

Again seriously how am I supposed to feel about that (Also the one person that gives even the slightest bit of emotion and it’s the villain,)

Like I’m surprise’d Dooku’s surprised by that

(Er-)

O-k

Whe-lp

(Also, now there are flues). (Don’t recall seeing them last time,)

Or just sticks with gold on them

(I am very con- fused,)

This seems pretty different

And totally safe

(Also wasn’t the castle blue?)

But I’m not against it because it could work with the symbolism of wild, Or just. Wor -k (I know I’m being way too hop- - eful but I try,

Re- hash-

Easy-

So why is there no other emotion

And why do you look like a caveman,

(Eyebrows constantly furr- Ow- ed)

Also what was with the pro-nunciation and emotion?

Bare,

Also literally no one else is paying attention to that guy? ?

‘ he also doesn’t cause me to have any emotions’

Like seriously I know that it’s a cat person but you still have to show some sentient emotion here

If there’s no emotion, there’s no risk,

(Part of sent- ience)

Att- end,

Again that’s not the cha- llenge I think they were trying to make it out to be; (Un-accountabili- ty) Aka What it would work best as;

Remix;

“ I’ll would never turn away from a challenge,” Anakin said snarkily,

The queen se- duct iv el- y

Taking his light saber, - that works better;

- Ser-iously - Um- No,

(Last time someone fall from a height that high, they died,)

(You have to play by your own rules, )

Wha-

Also again wh -at-

Sky -walker

When ?-

Would be nice if you ever feckin showed it,

(Seriously the concept of Obi-Wan having to come to terms at least temporary that his Over-involvement has hurt people is an interesting concept,”

Also bullshit that you know that

(Pretty)

(You’re all enabled and you haven’t spent any time around Obi-Wan)

(That’s a stupid plan and the animation really doesn’t help,)

Zy-ger

Perm - R- i-,

Oh yeah so no reserves, about using the term, “master” After this schism ? - Y-eah - How? - W-at

[The emotions are off the roof and I have no idea

with the scale of escalation

W-at]

Lesh - Li- fe

You did- n’t? - Emo tion-

Wh-at?

Who called- the guards?

Seriously if this is such a constantly abusive (tox) relationship than how do they not know,

(Unless the previous guards got killed and these are the newbies,)

Because you don’t act like it all don’t have any of the characteristics generally associated with constantly rein-forc -ed toxicity, Show- ed no emotion including (anxiety and anticipation) In that previous fight,

As well as no negative con- seq- uen ce s for your behavior - Even now your voice is just “ oh I’m dyi-ng- -,’. .

Meep,

[Something happened

not a Tumblr refresh,

Gist;

There’s absolutely no emotion in the scene and the fact that she just dies after that being the threat is just kind of cheap,

[and the fact that she had absolutely no expression (Or emotion) during that entire fight Not showing any of the general signs - Just no)

And that expression is a weird way way to end

The scene. not the movie that still going, (Un-fortunate- ly)

Uh, why Off to you obviously evil factory, land,”

Kick,

Hey isn’t it that minor antagonist that hasn’t showed up since the last episode? . . . Why? . . . And he included the clone why?

(Oh yeah I want the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, And especially the to my knowledge (default) clone.

And Rex who is honestly a lot more intimidating,

K-i

[Again this is supposed really be about. Ken-obi but I’m really focusing on Rex,]

Wh- at- -

How?!

They were on a bug?

I-

Ok-

Sorry my memory gave out for a moment at the whole Anakin durp face thing - -

W-h

W-

Wood

Again, how is he supposed to do that?

- Ter- - I-l

Sl-av es

So Ahsoka goes to rescue the slaves while An-a kin, stays here and carves a hole,

En-ough

No emotion!

Oh, I thought he meant Ah -soka - Oh so yeah let’s bring a warship into what seems to have been intended as a stealth mission,

Screw Fitt Ing Re Action-

And-

W-

How did that change the fact that they have the button that can kill all the slaves,

(It didn’t)

Obi-won just apparently stopped giving a fr-ick -

Ray-

Well then they were impossible to take out,

F-a - S-l

But only the Tyger-ian (Apologies for any misspelling I mean Ahsoka’s kind,)

“He -at,”

“Cut,”

Ge-n-

Rex did more than Obi-wan,

Also yeah completely forgot about that,

Also he said kill,

[Not further im-prison,” ]

Rex had some rage-

Also you’d think that be Obi-Wan considering how much he’s gotten ,screwed with This entire ,time - Wh,at

Wh -y -

Wh -y - H-ere - How is Rex still fighting guys? - Also thanks a lot Obi-Wan you useless piece of shit,

[Again, would n’t it make sense? .)

W-ell

- You just came into a door just hop them - over- - Lan d-

Wait, How did you just get in, there though,

. Co- vert - ?

O-Kay, new character,

W-h

(Also oh no they gave plo another fleet

Great )

Ser-iously, what where are these guys coming from? , You’ve literally been allowed this dude to heck around the entire time while Rex did all the hard work

La-me,

Also seriously where was all that - ,coming from- - Wh at-

Where was the emotion? - Hey that had no meaning, symbolism or emotion behind it - whatsoever,

A-i

- W-h - - - Whelp, was completely boring

Covenants of a good, fun story;

- Set; Excessive in instances that don’t directly affect the story’s up, cohesivity

-Tone; Is appropriate

-Emotions; And appropriate, and consistent and manage to keep a consistent tone,

(Un-nessary, Typically switch-ed for a more logical tone, In works of non-fiction,

Though may be in both, So long as note is given,)

This film (Movie - Gets absolutely none of it right except the basics for a good story

It’s co - hesive- But damn boring and empty,

Story - Re-write. - (I needed something fun after watching that boring documentary,)

So let’s get into it, - (May feature episode -overlap)

Obi-Wan emerges from the carrier, With R -ex,

(Obi-Wan possibly sub- con-ciously mov -ing In Fron -t Of Rex-)

[Or Cody]

The minor antagonist welcome(s) them; Obi-wan trading some banter with him - It being part of a plan to get captured,

Unfortunately somethings went ar-ray and instead of Cody being the back up plan; he got taken with him

The minor antagonist - quickly cuts the chatter - By having the guard (S- bring Cody forward, introducing him as Obi-Wan’s Slave

Giving a veiled threat of “ would be a shame if something happened to such a ,pretty specimen,”

Obi-Wan getting def-ensive,

The atag, Com menting, “ Pretty protective, Of your toy, Aren’t You,”

Before having them thrown somewhere,

Next time, we see them they’re getting e- scor- ted- for gem Min- Ing,

(Possibly some black humor from the vil -ains- about how people will pay, “An arm or leg

*Pos-sibly yours,

For the stuff,’

On the way there one of the guards notices Rex (Cody)’s ey-ing the place. warning him That, ‘He’s not the only one under ob -servation)

Possibly causing a wincing or anxious reaction from them . (I would generally encourage flashbacks to be able to - show the emotion em- ot ion,)

(Under-stand what is going inside their head,)

But for now I’ll stick with the example given by the show which is no flashbacks, The guard making it clear what will happen

Shock- -Ing-

The clone (Eith er) Ha-ving a bad reaction to this,

Knee jerkingly reaching out,

The guard grabbing him and holding him back - - Forced into a distressing circumstance of fa il -in g- The Miss- -ion -

Those two are pretty much out of the action for the rest of the episode being stuck

Obi-Wan can’t do anything without hurting Cody Cody can’t do anything without hurting the slaves - Most of their part is contrasting the condition,

Most of the action is with Ahsoka, Who talks down that dweeb (Maybe someone near-er to her age) And they go break Obi-Wan out so he can back up, Anakin

In the Dooku fight,

The most consistent and clear char- -acter Being Q -ueen, Being a slaver-

If it’s Ana- Kin,

Anakin having to begrudgingly put up with this slaver’s nonsense

Be-grudgingly

- Her talking about how life is slavery and him just not...

Then Dooku Shows Up,

(The whole transition between the mine scene and the Anakin- slaver scene, Being a cut from the sparks in a mine To the jewel on her finger With extra focus being put on the jewels,

Possibly all done with all of them Zy- gar-ian (Or of all the planets that she’s taking people from-

Zygarian Heir loom)

A black stone (in the middle of her chest) By a pendant (Generally implied to be by Count Dooku)

Toxic court-ing implied,

Count Dooku announces a surprise visit,

The Queen is pleased but nervous (Hands behind -back)

“I-”

Putting a wine glass down behind it,

Dooku is immediately aggressive

The queen offering Anakin as a consolation prize

As the youngest and newest to the-ir possible rank,

Dook-u snark Ing,

Dooku threaten -ing to kill

The queen having issue with that whole main characterization being the collector of rare things

(Possibly a reflect- Ion about the no speaking rule)

More likely Dooku dismissing her con- cerns just saying that he can always get her a new one,

“The Queen possibly wincing at a raised hand - if we want to go for indications of physical tox-’

Poss-ibly a conversation about why she put up with him

“He treats me well”

Focus on the necklace and pendent to - contrast with the choking necklace-

Possibly a poison Sub-line

- If you want to go there, - But focusing on Ahsoka, they broke those guys out,

Ahsoka finding a heartbroken Jedi, Explaining that their res -pect ive clone friend, Has given up on them

Ahsoka finding that person,

Who manages to explain that he can’t move either-

To be cut off by the guards who has really had enough of every- thing-

Decided - screw it if pain isn’t going to make you stop and then might as well put them in a life or death situation,

Add-ing time on the clock (Or at least a new var- iable-)

Ahsoka possibly does a whole speech thing (Since seriously we’ve seen none of her involvement or even care about her own spe-cies) Via dem on- Strat Ion-

(Very likely leading to a riot situation,)

As they didn’t plan on the Tagroatians (?) Rebell ing due to crush -ed spirits,

That happens - Those two re- unite and go to fi-ght Dooku

(I never. really cared for the Zy- ger- Ian queen,)

If she lives in then, she’s grateful for them driving off Dooku, Allows them to get off with the slaves,

(Necklace might have information might not,)

*Honestly I felt it made more sense for Anakin to be the one in the mine; The Zy- garian queen, and Obi -Wan hav- ing boomer ban -ter, With Obi-Wan a lot more aware of that stuff, (Show-ing worldliness by identifying the stones) While Anakin compares the circumstance to the one that he used to live in, And the one he enabled Rex living in, While Ahsoka, could team up with a Zy-ger-Ian round her age, Possibly some conversations about enabling- May-be Ahsoka talking about getting a clone command of her own- (If we want the clone commanders to be a constantly featured theme here) Boomer Bait, Busting Anakin out of the mine, Obi-Wan getting hidden behind a cur-tain, And going to heck over Dooku, (Slaves recovered-)

Both the Zy- Gar- Ian- (And a flirtatious promise to return By Obi-wan, ) [contrast Mandalorian] Gets Free- Dom- - End- -

AESTHETIC

atm machines dispensing hundreds of dollars, mink eyelashes so long, one blink might send you flying away, 10′s across the board, a wall adorned with shimmering trophies, and 1st place ribbons, hair extensions past your ass, extravagant nails that look like they’d be hard to manage, the “boujee” friend, snapchats of you and the squad getting lit in the backseat of your bodyguard driven cadillac, still being able to do tumbling passes and drop into the splits in any costume, and pushing away lingering feelings of guilt.

BACKGROUND ;

some people are born lucky, and others are lucky to be born, and as her name might suggest diamond tiaira patterson was one of thee few born lucky in chicago. her father is a big time music producer who peaked in the 90s all the way through the mid 2000s who worked with all your early childhood favorites and her mother is a former elite gymnast who wowed crowds in the summer olympics in ‘91.

the patterson name oozed greatness in the city and saw nothing but success, diamond was destined for greatness when her mom forced put her into gymnastics at age four, and the young woman thrived and excelled every since, even dedicating her talents to track and field, cheerleading, and volleyball in high school where she was a 4x state champion between cheerleading and volleyball. but, gymnastics always came first no matter what.

the glory at such a young age was enthralling, diamond loved the attention, she loved performing, it became a 2nd nature, but the pressure from her mom to push harder and harder, and the fear of letting her down was something that drove her competitive nature through the roof. but it gave her an edge, her desire to be great was sickening.

but, she had all the talent, and the accomplishments to back whatever she had to say.

the competitiveness drove her to sabotage a fellow competitor who scored a point higher than her, and had the possibility of beating her, so diamond put a teeny tiny thumbtack on the balance beam, and her opponent landed foot first on it and twisted that ankle all the way up and landed on her neck, her career? DONE FOR. it wasn’t her intention of course , she was young and impulsive, but what’s done was done.

diamond went on to gain national recognition for her accomplishments even having an OUTSTANDING showing in the olympics as part of team usa at the age of 19 winning four gold medals, and since then she’s been on magazine covers, guest starred on tv shows, modeled a bit, and she’s currently dabbling into music with the help of her father. a big reason why they moved to nyc he’s her dadager, and they want to make her the next big thing, but with all the personalities in nyc, they’re in for a surprise.

PERSONALITY

INSP : josephine mccoy ( riverdale ) , hilary banks ( fresh prince of belair ) , whitley gilbert ( another world ) colandrea conners ( dear white people ) jelena howard ( hit the floor ) , naomi campbell , mariah carey .

A DIVA. to an extent, she’s definitely sassy and sensible, and won’t hesitate to let you know it. she’s been spoiled and successful all her life, she’s a winner, and if things don’t come easy to her she just wants to quit it all together. she’s used to it being her way or the high way , she’s definitely privileged and entitled , but tries to be more on the heartwarming side if the situation entails. humble with like a half of kanye.

we said it before, but she is THE boujee friend. friend. as she exudes that prestige, that pedigree, she doesn’t drink tap water, only drinks almond milk, she likes foods than cannot be pronounced, she tries to act cultured, but whenever she opens her mouth that flies right out the window. she’s fiercely loyal to those who deserve it of course

JUDGMENTAL!!!! she is not the friend that you can bring to the vip section of a club and pop some pills or do a line in front of, she’ll really smack the shit out of you , or look at you like you’ve gone batshit crazy .

CONNECTIONS

any former gymnast muses in da house or sum ?? maybe d literally mopped the floor w/ them @ a meet when they were younger or sumn, but they still made friends? we have NO idea how.

seasoned musicians, who she networks and mingles with to get her foot in the door?? maybe they worked with her dad and give her some advice, maybe they’re gonna drop a hot new single? something fun, something for the girls * in my saweetie voice *

RICH FRIENDS, IDK, nyc is vasty different from chitown, and maybe her guide to nyc?? whats the new haps on fashion, where tf does everybody hang out? stuff like that yk?

we need ENEMIES too because miss thing has ATTITUDE for days, and i just know she probably ruffled a few feathers walking into the big apple like she owns it.

pls hmu.

// » PAST :

warner was born & raised in the city that never sleeps and is the product of evangeline moretti-vandergeld , an intelligent american-italian socialite turned environmental politician , and captain william vandergeld , a former navy captain , and now a shareholder in some boring fortune 500 company that allowed his wife and son to live an affluent , and privileged life . his mother however , was the real deal , often using their sum of wealth to donate to multiple charities , organizations , etc, she was dedicated to keeping new york city ( and all who lived there ) clean and safe , and she instilled those same values onto her son.

some people are born lucky , and others , lucky to be born . warner was the first option . his childhood was nothing short of happiness , and happiest days were with his mother , for as long as he could remember , any happy moment in his childhood was faded right into her.

things took a drastic change his freshman year of ( private obvy lmao ) high-school . warner’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer , and little to his knowledge , it wasn’t looking pretty from the start . she was frequently in and out of the hospital for a few months at a time and it was not looking good on any fronts . one day when she went to the hospital it seemed like she never left , maybe she didn’t , those days were a blur for warner to be honest . watching his mother lose life , every single day was not a task he was up for .

by then it was just warner and his father , they were all they had in the big city . ( when he wasn’t always away on business ) warner grew up in that big luxy town house all by himself , with the company of loyal maids , chefs , and nannies of course . but in high school , the more he really submerged himself into it , it was a crazy world & he loved it . whilst getting demands from his father in tokyo to attend those boring sailing classes , warner instead headed out to their beach house in the hamptons for an early 20 rager .

warner undoubtedly knew the power he possessed , big man on campus type & it felt good , until about towards the end of his junior year he was honestly all partied out , but of course reputation is everything , in order to keep up thats when he picked up the real ugly habits , that were of course fun . smoking numerous amounts of marijuana , various girls in - and - out every other day was a feeling like no other , he knew it was wrong , he knew his mom would be ashamed , him doing all these things and not carrying on her legacy in some way . but he couldn’t help himself in a all honesty , and no doubt some of that transitioned over in college .

// » AES :

lost weekends partying , chicken wings & french fries , air jordan 1′s , gucci guilty cologne , friday night lights , clouds of smoke & red eyes , diamond encrusted jewelry glistening under bright lights in a dark room , nike sweatsuits , game winning moves , new york city at night , hamptons in the summer , spring break in miami , impulsive decisions .

// » TL;DR :

( and some stuff i probably missed oops ) warner is a conflicted mama’s boy who knows half the shit he does is wrong but can’t stop . after his mothers passing he had an absent father who seemed to always be away on business , only in town for a month or two , missing his sons’ multiple feats to keep himself distracted from the fact that his wife was no longer with them. created immense daddy issues for warner , especially since he was a standout football star & 2x stage champ in high school , and is currently playing collegiality for the irish , with dreams of making it in the nfl cause screw his dad he don’t wanna go 2 the navy , or work for dat company # not gonna happen . warner took great advantage of wealth & his fathers absence , but he’s lowkey partied out in college , or so he likes to say but he fakes it ‘till he makes it bc he doesn’t his brothers to think he’s lame . HE’S LIVING FOR EVERYBODY BUT HIM BASICALLY .

// » HEADCANONS :

warner is on a football scholarship majoring in environmental science bc although he most likely won’t do shit w/ da degree its for mommy .

he can EASILY be manipulated or taken advantage of , he’s book smart but lowkey dumber than a fucking box of rocks

immastonerbyyoungthug.mp3 . occasionally , but , more so than that ? he always manages to flush out his system in time if needed be , but he loves 2 roll up # stress relief

a BEAST on that field ( student athlete meme here )

has all the canon gray tattoos bc fuck what dad thinks . he wears a solid 16 inch gold chain , and another of the same length with his moms’ name on it , never fucking takes it off , showers with it cause he can .

ok ........ he rich , but like not i can do whatever i want rich ??? he may not ever have to work a day in his life , but he don’t got the pull u think he does w/ his dumb ass u probably couldn’t even tell he’s got money with his minimalist fashion sense .

he has a higher moral compass than most of his frat bros , but the stupid shit he does , u most likely won’t even be able to tell , he’s definitely a serial romeo and a heartbreaker , one compliment ? he’s ready to drop his pants & fall in love w/ u .

HE DUMB , but like he can talk his way into & out of anything , most of the time , batting those big brown eyes & a million dollar smile has saved his ass on multiple occasions .

// » WANTED CONNECTIONS :

EX-GIRLFRIEND : i’m thinking his first & only “ serious “ relationship while in college . were going pretty steady until he cheated on her ( hmm wc on who he cheated on her w/ ?? ) , she never found out but that guilt ate warner TF UP so he cut things off with her via text message and blocked her number , ignores her any chance he gets ‘till this day , cause he doesn’t have any balls and cannot face his fears .

FRAT BROS : lowkey what i’m MOST excited for asdfgh like whoever is in beta lambada mu hit me the fuck UP so we can discuss dynamics , roomates , allat .

FOOTBALL TEAM : same for above , he’s lowkey cocky & got sly comments when he’s on the field , he constantly humbles himself but can’t helps it , he is hot shit and he knows it , how does his team feel ab that ?? w/ his defensive ass !

Ya know something that bugs me in movies or tv shows??

When theres a character with a "rare blood type" (AB neg or pos) that needs blood, but no one around with that blood type, so it's a race to get them help or someone with the right blood type, even though they've likely got O neg blood right there!!!

To explain, while AB neg (and pos), is the often rarest blood type, they can recieve AB neg OR O neg blood!! In fact, AB neg can take ANY of the negative blood types. Another fact, AB pos can recieve ANY blood type!

Any blood type can recieve O neg. Any positive blood type can recieve O pos. (Negative blood types can NOT take Positive types, but Positive can take Negative)

I just really hate when shows act like The ABs, because they're rare, can only take AB and they're doomed if they dont get AB. Like yeah, it's best if you have the same type of blood, but in an emergency you can use almost any of the other blood types!!!

In fact, the only blood type that NEEDS its exact match, and CAN'T take anything else is O neg!!! It can give to everyone else but cant take any other blood type.

So if in the future you're writing a character and you know that this is going to be a problem you want them to deal with in the future, make them an O neg, with only O pos or other blood types around. That way they would genuinely have to find someone with O neg blood, and it really would be a race to get them help.

#Sorry an episode on tv just had this problem with an ab neg character and I'm gonna scream #I get that like if it's an o neg character in trouble there would likely be o neg blood around #But it's still only like the 4th most common blood type (at least in the usa i think)#Like yeah an O POS would likely have no trouble because it's the most common blood type (followed by A pos)#But o neg isn't as common #Okay I'm done ranting now #Blood types #Writing advice #????#Whump #Blood transfusions #O negative blood #AB blood types

"No one will ever convince me he made that statement, and if you listen to his ACTUAL words about that, he didn’t say he wouldn’t take any more LGBTQ roles." Darren literally said that the gay community would have his head if he took another gay role but somehow to tinhats like Cassie, that means the next role he takes will be a gay character. I guess Darren meant that he knows the gay community will try to murder him, but he has faith in his ability to avoid their attempts. They're such freaks.

When they make grandiose and sweeping statements like this, I feel the full weight of the disinformation campaign they all embrace. Cassie claims “When you listen to his actual words…he didn’t say he wouldn’t take any more LGBTQ roles” so we have to see if she’s telling the truth or she’s manipulating reality in order to soothe their anxiety and allow them to easily fetishize the gay version of Darren.

What did Darren say? (You can read the entire Bustle piece (X))

“There are certain [queer] roles that I’ll see that are just wonderful,“ Criss explains when we speak at a recent event for Clorox’s What Comes Next in New York, a few days after he returned from an overseas tour with his Glee co-star Lea Michele. ”But I want to make sure I won’t be another straight boy taking a gay man’s role.“Although Criss says it’s “been a real joy” playing queer characters like Blaine, Cunanan, and Hedwig in the Broadway musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch, he now doesn’t feel comfortable taking those roles, which is “unfortunate,” he says. “The reason I say that is because getting to play those characters is inherently a wonderful dramatic experience,” he adds. “It has made for very, very compelling and interesting people.”

One of the reasons they claim they don’t think Darren said the words is because they claim that print interviews are fake:

12/18/18 ajw720 answered:

I would like to see a video as well, nonnie, as I don’t actually think he said any of this shit. Print articles are never, ever to be trusted. They are generally fabricated.

If you recall nonnie, D himself called out an article earlier this year (it may even be the one referred to in this piece of crap) for taking a quote of his out of context about his Filipino Heritage, likely as he was sick of being called white repeatedly. Fact is, while he is able to correct the “white” narrative, he, at this time, is not able to correct the straight narrative so he can’t even defend himself when this utter nonsense is published in his name.

First of all print articles aren’t generally fabricated and most CAN be trusted if you vet them properly. Claiming “ALL print articles are fabricated”- and therefore not to be trusted is a perfect cctrope because it gives them the out they need to label everything they don’t like-every single quote, every single story, and every single description as fake news. It’s the perfect strategy for ignoring everything Darren talks about that proves he isn’t Blarren- all the puns and sexual innuendos, all the crude comments, all the sweet things he says about Mia or his sexuality. All they have to do is remind their followers that it was in a print article and Woosh- it’s invalid. Trump is doing the same thing with his base-he’s grooming them to believe that the media is dangerous and that everyone fabricates stories about him. He calls them “the enemy of the people” so when the. NYT proves he laundered money for years through the Russian mafia or that he actively cheated during the 2016 election and is trying to cheat in 2020, his base will scream “fake news” and threaten to go all 2nd amendment on the rest of us.

Once again Abby uses something to prove her point but misses the fact that it actually proves she’s full of shit- Darren did push back on the interview where he was misquoted regarding his Filipino heritage but he hasn’t pushed back on any other interview he’s ever given. We can see he’s capable of pushing back, he’s interested in making sure he is quoted accurately and yet we’ve seen no other example- the reasonable conclusion is that is because the other interviews weren’t misquoted.

e Bustle piece and understand that he said he will no longer play LGBTQ characters. It’s clear that Darren has a far deeper understanding of the issue than Cassie and Abby. Splitting hairs and claiming he didn’t specifically say he would never play a bisexual or trans character is stupid. What Cassie and Abby are missing in the article is this paragraph:

This conversation about straight actors being cast in gay roles is about more than just LGBTQ actors losing out on Oscars, of course. It’s about Hollywood missing an opportunity to embrace new talent who would better serve these stories. And over the years, actors like Criss have become more sensitive to these types of concerns. The Versase star understands that there is an added honesty to actor getting to play characters who share their identities. “The commitment to that drama is told in such a way that it can really effectively reach people’s lives,” Criss says. “I think that really is important.”

Abby gets her wish- there is an audio recording of him making this statement-albeit it was 4 months prior to the Bustle interview and he seems to have evolved his understanding of the importance of representation in those 4 months. In the Hollywood Reporter interview he said:

“….But I do think about that now, you know, if roles come by that are LGBT leaning - I really think it would be insensitive to the gay community if I were to take another role. I think they’d have my head. You know, I would totally understand that. So I’m certainly cognizant of it. And while it is very tricky, I think the discussion and the questioning is really really important. And I think it’s good that we’re uncertain and I hope that we can find some kind of balance.” -Darren Criss, 8/26/18

I am an idiot and can’t remember how I got the audio portion of the interview on to my blog so I have to refer you to my old post if you want to hear Darren say the words (X).

I think you are correct- Darren is well aware the gay community will kill him but he doesn’t care because he has superpowers.

EDIT** I found this charming comment from Chrisdare who is a “journalist” yet she knows nothing about journalism. I got in an argument with her once and she schooled me that journalists aren’t educated.and will say anything a publicist tells them too. Whatever, Valentina, Google should be your friend.

Anonymous asked: It wouldn’t matter if you saw a video because you wouldn’t believe it anyway. You would say he was being forced to say it. Fact is CCers haven’t believed a thing

ajw720 answered:I believe many things nonnie. I also have a deep and fundamental understanding about hollywood works nonnie and that is something you clearly lack.

Further, if D was straight, i believe he would never allow them to portray him as an asshole. D is an incredibly intelligent human being, he knows exactly how negatively the straight push reflects on him. and frankly, it would not be necessary if he exclusively slept with female persons with vaginas.

Have a nice life living in delusionville.

chrisdarebashfulsmiles JCS shut the f** up.

When we talk about articles and how they are made we talk about facts. I hate when you come here busting balls on professional stuff when you don’t know anything. You can’t even imagine all the shit we do as journalist

It’s not a matter of cc but the fact they are ruining D’s life and career. And if you are a fan you need to start opening your eyes and stop being an enabler. I swear you should feel guilty when he will come out because you helped keeping him in the closet.

Talk about dellusionville!

**********Edit Edit *******(X)

chrisdarebashfulsmiles Because there’s a power of attorney that allows RR and Ab to do so. To say something D has to prove that the article is harmful and he has to do it through a legal action. And this means breach of contract with all it entails like the two years of stop from signing an anything.

That IS NOT how “power of attorney” works. But nice try- 10 points for originality and imagination!

***Edit Edit Edit *********

Anonymous asked: An article you should read to help you understand how journalism works .tinyurl/com/y9s49tms. German Reporter At Der Spiegel Fired for Fabricating Stories “On A Grand Scale”. “I’m so angry, horrified, shocked, stunned,” Der Spiegel deputy foreign editor Mathieu von Rohr tweeted Wednesday. “Claas Relotius faked, he cheated on us all.” Journalists can’t just make up stories or publish falsities no matter how much you want to believe that is happening in Hollywood.

chrisdarebashfulsmiles answered: It’s amazing how is crystal clear that you never worked in a magazine or in a PR firm. I work since 2004 and I don’t need an article… I know how it works. We aren’t talking about WSJ and serious stuff. We are talking about gossip and showbusiness so don’t try to be smug because you are failing.

Have nice day/ night wherever you are. :) it’s evening here and I’m enjoying my free time.

bjpb8 Oh, my gosh who is this person. People thrive on gossip and “Rags”. IT SELLS. First begain with papers like En/quire, The Globe, etc. Then spread to SM with blinds. You think other magazines and papers do not want to make money. Everyone prints what sells depending on audiences. Embellishment is part of the trade. They want to catch your interest, which feeds right into what PR wants to sell! Tts a sybiotic relationship at best! It is just some are more talented at making what sounds like truth out of lies. Its called entertainment. You might want ro “read” about it.

The author of the Bustle interview has a master’s degree in journalism from CUNY New York so it is more like the wall street journal than it is the “website” you work for Valentina. Journalists have a degree in journalism. Anyone can be a blogger - you’ve proved that.

****Edit Edit Edit Edit *******

D/arren did not write that post! (X)

12/19/18

ajw720 I have enough faith in Dar/ren Cri/ss personality and his respect and love for his fans to know that the comments attributed to him were not his. I’ve seem this happen before…I’m sure many of you have, also. Darr/en is stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. When he finally writes a memoir about this time, he will let us know about his anquish, anger and remorse. If one is a TRUE CC and Dar/ren fan, after years of roller-coaster rides via PR, et al…I will continue to take the advice of the person that runse THIS SITE. “Trust the process…”

***********************************************************************

@geminess We have to trust the process and believe that C and D are working hard towards an ending to this absolute tragedy that is legally clean and does not jeopardize either of their careers.

I believe in them, I cannot accept that D would ever willingly choose to represent himself in this manner and to continue this nightmare of a charade surrounded by utterly and completely vile, disgusting human beings.

Please, please, please may we be right. I cannot repeat enough there is no alternative ending that is acceptable but D breaking free by ending this sham of an encage, severing ties with his inhumane team, and eventually coming out.

And yesterday proved once again just how frightening the alternative is. I would fear for his career and his life. And it baffles and amazes me that anyone watching, even if you believe he is the straightest man alive, cannot see how harmful that article was. It was like he used the LGBT+ community to win his awards and is now ready to dismiss them.

(X) 12/19/18

Anonymous asked: On the bright side, this means we’re coming to the end right?

ajw720 answered: Anon, we honestly don’t know, but we can only hope. If D extends his time with these assholes, it will be very ugly for him personally and professionally.

But logic seems to say that this article, the literally offends every fan but the blind and naive, is wholly unnecessary if in fact they are going to continue a professional relationships. And it did not just the fans, think about how many award voters they offended yesterday with that utter piece of crap.

Absolutely and utterly unreal. Hard to believe they are able to get away with working against their client at every turn.

Logic? One thing the cc fandom has proven in the last 10 years is that they do not understand or care about logic.

12/24/18 (X)

ajw720 It’s interesting how there are such varying opinions on the “straight boy” article. And I think it comes down to 2 questions:

1. Do you believe D is a willing participant in his closeting?

2. Do you believe he actually said what the article alleges?

My answer to both is a resounding no (though he will be forced to validate the comments) and I have good reason to think this. But I certainly see why ones perspective is different if you answer one or both as yes.

This being said, no matter your answers to the above, I don’t see how it can be justified that he would dismiss b/laine in such a manner. And the timing, because I still think it makes him look like an ass and /or a coward as awards are voted for playing queer. And to repeat, I don’t think he should play queer again until his team is dismissed, so I’m not disagreeing with the premise, just the manner it was done, which again, I believe was without his consent.

Not posting to start a fight. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I clearly am not afraid to state mine, which is very reasoned and based on a lot of information I’ve collected.

Just interesting that some very intelligent people, all of whom believe he’s closeted, can vary so much in what they believe.

(res conlangii)

Waiting on data to come in for schoolwork so I kind of doodled a plan for the syntactic evolution of Góoreta which is probably as good as it’ll get and the new draft for what will be Tantapty 2.0, which would be like Pa3aty 4.0 or something by now. 5.0, 6.

Góoreta is ancestral, and was modeled as pretty much a prototypical Nubian language; based on Old Nubian directly.

Góoreta is mixed SOVT/SVTO. T and V are generally fused (i.e. auxiliaries are rare) but SOV is slightly more primary and it’s reflected in how the verb is marked.

So the maximal noun phase is something like {en} {adjunct} {adjective phrase} root.stem-{sg/pl/col}-{nom/dir/gen/cop/abs} {adjective phrase} {adjunct}, {en} being an optional semantically empty determiner (syntactically it helps clue the listener in to a complex NP), {sg/pl/col} being the East Sudanic singulative/plural/collective number markers, the dir case being a combined accusative-dative, cop being the copulatory case, basically the marker for the more topical half of a copula phrase (as opposed to the part traditionally called a predicate, which is confusing when you’re talking about languages that don’t use a verb to express it). Leftward adjuncts and adjective phrases tend to be alienable, rightward tend to be inalienable/attributive. Compounds are thus backwards for an OV lang: manfire, not fireman. Possession is always marked rightwardly. Supplementation common.

Adpositions are chiefly prepositions, but adpositions that were promoted to conjunctions before Góoreta are postpositive.

The maximal verb is {adv} root.stem-{caus}-{pret}-{inch}-{pass/recip/mid}-{neg}-{admir}-{modal}-{fut}-[PNG]-{subj}

Already pluractionals would be lexicalized. Moods not happening in the morphology would be adverbial or like CP level or something. Verbs are mostly regular, with no supplemental stems coming to mind. Verbs however can be compounded, and a passive-perfective participle phrase WITH (adv) verb-POS tends to deliver stative sentence structures.

So a kind of overview of the whole sentence I got from a book on Egyptian might look like

where d is indirect object and A is adjuncts. Small is pronomial arguments and caps is lexically full. Cs are not mutually exclusive.

It seems that it’s necessary to have both a post-Góoreta NS creole and a pre-Tantafty Afroasiatic creole of the creole in order to “marry” it into the family as my goal originally was.

AA was probably already VSO~VOS, and probably ergative-absolutative. This initial hybridization would actually be crown to actual Afroasiatic, maybe being more of a hybridization with a Pre-Afroasiatic.

T would then be broken from V, and the cross-linguistic tendency for creoles to trend SVO (although this is maybe a European bias error since creoles tend to be half IE due to colonialism) is a compromise.

So new syntactic structure is C-S-s-T-V-o-d-O-A It basically follows Góoreta’s SVO style syntax. The new NP is {en} root.stem-{sg/pl/col} {adjective phrase} {adjunct}

Which loses the Nubian case system.

The new VP is

{aux=V-TA-M-Neg} root.stem.{inch/caus} {other mood} POS

Everything outside the domain of the inchoative broke off. The tense system would probably revolve around the now inherently unaccusative perfect i-VERB-POS forms and an un-i’d form derived from that. Maybe from núu (at) such as what forms a progressive in many languages. This has an advantage of preparing the verbal system for a harmony derived Front/Back ablaut.

Unfortunately Tantafty retaining an admirative mood seems unlikely.

This is when the Afroasiatic elements become dominate, and the stage of the language borrowed is roughly sister to the non-Ethiopian type Afroasiatic languages.

New syntax overform is like S-T-V-s-d-o-O-A. V-s tend to form a unit.

Despite Egyptian losing it, verbs inherit the prefixing conjugation as it assists the Ca1a22a3 unmarked form of present tenses (though, maybe, really, it should lose it, the same way Egyptian did.)

New NP is

{en}-cl.ABS root.stem.{sg/pl/col}-cl.ABS {(a) complement} {adjective phrase}-cl.ABS {adjunct}

Agreement is normalized. Number is lexicalized. Class is introduced. All nouns inherit the PAA absolutative case (-a), although case is not a feature of the syntax. Old nominative -u occasionally used, grammaticalized into something of focalized case. New number system starts to arise from dragging {pl} suffix with -cl.ABS irregularly. (a) represents a connective element, like {of}

New VP would be

{aux} {caus}-root.{inch}.stem-{modal}-[PNG]

Auxiliaries handle most issues. The new causative from AA supplants NS’s productively, the inchoative is detectable but fossilized, like English -Cle in words like rattle, dabble, nipple, etc. Some new modals have attached themselves between the verb and the PNG markers, from the possessive markers, at least in the perfect aspect. Old modals provide at least a new subjunctive.

4. ~ 5. (split as legit branch, then future Amizightization/Arabization)

Language eventually shifts into VSO syntax preferably. Old focalizing case used for SVO word order subject.

Word order is T-V.s.d.o-S-O-A

NP is

{D}(-case?)-[N][S]stem[S]

[N][S]stem[S](-case?)

where S is state derived from the connector/absolutative case.

Every draft of Tantafty/Pa3atic thus far has had case but I’m not entirely sure why it would even arise at this stage.

The nisbe could give rise to a kind of genitive-dative. But an earlier stage is likely to have had an et-ha-qadoyshim kind of accusative preposition. By now I want {en} to have become {lá} so it might be something that looks like l-á~an-á or something. The genitive-dative would probably have to go - l>r is what the negative for NPs is going to end up as, and ní would end up declining for something that governs it instead of what it governs. I could be silly and use d~ð, which looks both Imazighen-y and Modern South Arabian-y at the same time. I like the idea of German-style case-on-the-article-ness though.

Nouns would thus be VCCVC in form preferentially I guess. Irregular forms would be the main vestige of Nilo-Saharan - supplemental singulative-collective-plural forms.

For VP I guess that means a form like

{AUX} {caus}.stem.{modal}-[PNG] {adv}

The causative would be partially fossilized into the verb. The auxiliary would handle most of the weight, but probably as preverbs like in Egyptian or Nahuatl or so on as a VSO correlate. Although preverb-auxiliary-verb is likely too. Morphological moods I guess would be heavily reduced, compared to, say, Arabic or something.

The perfective/imperfective system should break into a new stative (like the present perfect), new preterite, new imperfect, and new “cursive” system, where cursive is habitual, gnomic, or the like. That’s taken from an Amazight language but kind of nicely lines up with how English distinguishes present perfect, the past tenses, the progressive, and the simple present. Auxiliaries from “come” and “go” add tense to the paradigm. New moods to be determined, probably areally based on Siwi and Arabic. Voice probably has to be grammaticalized from a verb/preposition instead of an Afroasiatic-y one. Likely a good place for stand? “He stands damaged by battle.”

It would probably be realistic for Tantafty to gain a prefixing conjugation from a suffixing conjugation Coptic style. The Amazight languages do interesting things to their prefixing and suffixing conjugations though and I might want to base whatever I do about the yaCvCCvC present forms on something like that, however. It might be that the whole present form from PAA collapses into just a gender distinction of the subject, which I’m leaning towards. Then PN agreement happens in the suffixes.

Vestiges of NS would then mainly be pluractional vs singulative verbs. I might be able to fit an honorific/emphatic mood in akin to Góoreta’s admirative, which I really wanted, but it can’t really be a direct descendant.

I like the idea of Tantafty having serial verb constructions (which it’s had for years now) and I like the idea of the creoles having compound verbs. Something like an atelic verb head and a stative resultative verb pattern might be doable for a lot of verb nuances, and end up with some weird compounds on the way. A random bit of what looks like Mandarin syntax I guess. This would be, like, the cut-break compounds.

hiii im mac (she/her) ! i’m 22 n i live in the central timezone but my sleep pattern is often all over the place so who knows when i’ll appear. i’m a recent college grad (w a degree in theatre). im super excited n nervous i hope yall like jules n if u wanna plot lmk !!!

(ALEXA DEMIE. CIS FEMALE. SHE/HER. TWENTY ONE.) Hey, is that JULIETTE REYES? I heard they’ve been in Salem for FIVE YEARS and they’re working as a COLLEGE STUDENT. Last I spoke to ‘em they were pretty OBSERVANT AND PROTECTIVE, but I hear they can be DEADPAN AND BLUNT too.

who is she ?

full name: juliette adriana reyes nicknames: jul, jules, julie gender identity: cis female pronouns: she/her sexual orientation: pansexual mbti: ...will come back to alignment: true neutral...leaning a bit more towards neutral evil zodiac sign: scorpio ☼ aries ☽ aquarius ↑ inspired by: pretty much all of audrey plaza's characters, abed nadir, chanel #3, samantha jones saying outlandish things with miranda's sarcasm ??

[ pos. ] observant, protective, independent, flirty, honest, uninhibited [ neg. ] impulsive, deadpan, secretive, cold, off-putting, stubborn

personality → juliette is definitely an odd one. she’s very dry n sarcastic but also flirty n tends to say things you wouldn’t expect. she’s selective about her secrets: often saying strange things you wouldn’t expect, but also remaining mysterious n unreadable ?? she’s a weird one, but once you’ve proven to be trustworthy, she will protect you like your her own child. so don’t betray her either; she loves a good revenge story. it can be a bit difficult for her to open up to others. she doesn't mind being "outgoing", but to others, she just comes across really off-beat. she just needs some patient people in her life.

why is she here ?

her mother died while giving birth. her father had disappeared within his mother's pregnancy; and his mother, gillian, ended up raising juliette-- helping her with her powers.

gillian had secretly told her stories of her dad growing up. gillian had banned all powers in the house while raising her two kids. gillian first found out about juliette's powers a couple months into living together when she had noticed juliette could predict future events. she had seen where she went wrong with her son, so she decided to try and teach juliette magic.

when juliette turned 16, gillian had decided to move in with her daughter/juliette's aunt in salem, massachusetts so she could help raise her.

what is she currently up to ?

right now, she’s working part-time at the magic parlor (gillian thought it would be a good idea), while also attending the college nearby.

juliette is a powerful witch, no doubt but she hasn't necessarily been using her powers for good. it all started when she accidentally found the Witches of Requiem performing a ritual in the woods. ever since, she's been dabbling in dark magic-- trying to grow more powerful.

who is she looking for ?

platonic

partner in crime(s); friendly competition

drinking buddy; party buddy; someone she chats with until the bar closes; lackey; past travel buddy;

romantic

unrequited crush; flirtationship; friends with benefit

adversarial

someone she distrusts; a back-stabber; past friend turned enemy; frenemy; complete opposite

etc...

someone who dabbles in dark magic...uh...a mentor?? maybe...idk...that’s it lmao

if you would like to see anymore wanted connections, click anywhere on this sentence (those in bold are mw at the moment) !!!!!!!!

#death mention tw #its very brief like...jus one sentence #come plot w me :~)#hqsintro #∘⡊ ‣ { abt } → ❝ ʷᵉ ᵐ'ᵍʰᵗ ˢººⁿ ᵇᵉͨºᵐᵉ ＣＯＭＰＬＥＴＥＬＹＮＵＭＢ ❞

2019 Dec 29 - 2020 Jan 4, Happy New Year

“The objective of cleaning is not just to clean, but to feel happiness living within that environment.” Marie Kondo

Week 4 (all slow)

Food requirements have changed, by muscle recruitment have exhausted myself. Friday was an insulin related shock, either physically induced or recovery insufficiencies. Or both. Having low-fat mornings is my way of trying to remove bloodfat before workouts, to avoid overheating, regulate body temperature, and focus/executive mental function. The low-carb evenings are a game of mental balance, which under two weeks became body shock. It’s similar to losing a minute of sleep per day, then the insomnia triggering paranoia, whereas night owls hit that wall decades sooner. So, before workout has become things like vegan chili, yams and fruits, greens ect, but forces a waiting window one hour, carbs can make me sleepy at the gym. Feeling better getting out of bed, but getting motivated could stand for a bit more coffee, or (ikno i’ve been hocking vit-b a lot) some pre-workout, just for ‘peak mornings’, but that could be a (dopamine) high expectations issue. Can’t be peeled everyday, just doing deep tissue or fascia work, in prep, to Work for results. The mirror is a reflection, depression is a projection, so be in charge of what you can control. And easy on the cologne, cubs.

Boots, good. Make sup.

/notes/ A diagram of stairs, to indicate plateau effect. Normalizing cardio and acclimation, when your body is used to cardio, small changes in diet have major metabolic effect. Any point or level of cardio from gym-goers, using carbs to fuel cardio, eventually dumping carbs into high intensity long distance constant speed cardio. Not having sufficient time for the body to convert fat to carbs, your body might use protein and convert it to the carbs’ purpose of energy. Slow cardio/resistance allows the body to burn fat and raise metabolism, but if you’re hungry after a walk, just like in childhood you’ll gain muscle endurance rather than size. A 30k runner is smaller than Mr Olympia, you do the math. Savory oatmeal? Watch what you eat, but don’t skip meals, if you’re bored of the same old same old, have fun snacks, cheat meals so small only cats would feel full, pretend you’re a giant at a tea party ffs.

If your hobby isn’t real, you’re a fake. #antisocialmedia; does high row = chin-ups? The other day mentioned Wednesday, today reminiscent of the bear movie one; friends we look into their general direction, family we look in the eyes.

#21 Heavy/Slow Legs - Jan 1st, Enero 1ro.

Treadmill one set, make resolutions in new year, not before, only when ready, grasshopper.

Stairs = 22 + 22; done, HNY’s.

Paid as much was stolen, due and granted savings going forward, considering, sick a policy would be unhealthy if the next were to replace anyone dining out again. Need = rope hoist center mass. Peck kettlebell or plate pinch?

Forgot closes at seven is five, boots truly helping ankle to rehab, likely by not letting heel roll in, ankle buckle out, and boots need the knees like uphill ergonomics, out by six no bother; solo en caso, always apologize when warranted; as to be expected, refraction of scars within the wound #metalsongs \m/,

This new way to lift with the positives and negatives takes a lot of recovery time. Remember to do it with push ups. "You make your year". Tomorrow is today. Keep going, now is before tomorrow, so don't think yesterday can help if you don't begin. Now am I going. It is time to begin anew. I will make the resolutions as King, you will make plans of your own. Do begin plans now. You are a genius, but we can be proud when steps succeed.

Take break intra set.

IDK if you're supposed to stretch, but if you do, this article says to warm up a little firstly so

https://www.wellandgood.com/good-sweat/stretching-cold-muscles/

Stretch your calves and not your back, don't fuzz your back use a chair or sit on the ground. Feel the stretch behind your knees, not your waist or back. We’ve all seen ballerinas lift their legs, flexibility without back strain. Strengthen gradually your back, then range of motion?

#23 Heavy Pull - sick day?

Stomach soured from something, woke up nauseous. Sleep. Second nausea, reflux in lungs, shallow breaths until pass out. Sugar isn't food. Acid gasps burning, ache to left side the only sleeping position. 7am thoughts of a younger wake me primal, coffee made the writhe worse so just full body shock, freezings and wrenching. Winter clothes and turn on heat, took an energy drink and meat sammich; NOON better but taking day off, all support muscles sore, primaries in knots.

Volume positive reps slow, mass moving negative reps slow, this isn't enuf food. My AM just 2x'd and my PM just keto'd, hands down. Good to feel hungry like the living, instead of mountains winter and mystery fire. Had considered lying still for 24hrs. Everything good if not a bit bearish. 👍 Could be nerves, new years crowd bug, cold sleep, wet hair leaving gym (tho 50F). Would like to think it's too much stress, but maybe it's an overdue heat. Summer by April. If you can't be productive, be creative? Picnics in the northern spring green grass away from the cities.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-lactose-intolerance-can-develop-at-any-age/ "ANSWER: Lactose intolerance isn’t a true allergy, and it can develop at any age." … "When those people eat dairy products, the body has no way to break down the lactose. This leads to fermentation of the sugar in the intestines and triggers symptoms, such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps, bloating and gas."

Emphasis around nausea.

Open tabs hard to consider that insulin diabetic shock, had plenty to eat and am not one, didn't workout that much.

Needing to have carbs for intensity days, cardio burns some muscle, good pumps are better than sore joints, slow cardio needs some intensity, video selfies can reveal more truth/training than stills. Might do doubles instead of cardio, been talking about morning exercise for over a year.

Unvaccinated Anti-Vaxxer Female Suspect in Taguig caught desperately forced for the EVC and throws one ABS-CBN Microphone for its PH Media Abuse Presser [#OnlyOnRadyoBandera]

TAGUIG, MANILA -- The first day of the Enhanced Vaccination Checkpoint (EVC) was so chaotic in General Santos Ave., Brgy. North Daanghari, Taguig City, Metro Manila by Friday morning (January 21st, 2022). The Vaccination Card is for those who entered and back from this said city. Female anti-vaxxer suspect named Renelie Joie Cadeliña who harassed the checkpoint and batters her green broken bottle off-camera as a self-defense before facing the televised media on national television, with its seriousness of maximum tolerance.

"Karapatan kong hindi magkaroon ng bakuna. Kailangan ko lang ng trabaho, bakit nyo kailangang tanggapin?" (I have the right not to have the vaccine. I just need a job but, why do you have to accept?). Cadeliña did not show a Vaccination Card as her anti-vaxxer suspect said aggressively in Tagalog dialect, she didn't want to be vaccinated ever in person.

Her female resident in Brgy. Lower Bicutan here in this said city angers out as ordered from the Taguig government by simply giving an Identification Card (ID). She tries to discuss by force upon giving her own information, the Philippine media are taking her side in everyone's conversation to the public. Members of the televised media including SMNI, NET25, GMA News and CNN Philippines. Cadeliña ignores herself badly against the media and grabs one ABS-CBN microphone to throw it down as she committed busted for a media interview abuse LIVE on camera.

Shortly after this said abuse, she simply took her own name inside the Taguig checkpoint with a total unlawful disrespect. And since she was a resident of the city, she was just sent home for nothing.

Taguig City PNP named Hiyasmine D. Navarro told ABS-CBN News, the Vaccine Cards without a birth date and photo will not be accepted before and during the said checkpoint as due to lack of its simple requirements. "Itong dalawang Vaccine Card, wala naman po may presentang valid ID. Kasi kahit sino naman, pwedeng magsulat lang ng ganito... Wala ma lang 'Petsa ng Kapanganakan' at 'Litrato'. Kahit sino, pwede mag presenta ng ganyan kaya lang, papano niya patunayan ngayon na kanyang ganito?" (These 2 Vaccine Cards, they don't have a valid ID to present. Because anyone can just write like this... There is no 'Date of Birth' and 'Photo'. Anyone can present like that just because, how can she prove now that she is like this?).

EVC is one of the busiest streets in Taguig. Each passerby must present a Vaccination Card. With the exception of Cadeliña, who was angered earlier, those who were not vaccinated could not be sent home lightly. But they don't force people who don't want to be vaccinated once becoming an anti-vaxxer. They have some options as warned from the Taguig PNP: just go home, show a negative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test, or undergo free swab testing by the Local Government Units (LGUs).

Taguig Safe City Task Force (TSCTF) chairman named Atty. Clarence Santos said, a shuttle service at the bus stop is more unlikely for Cadeliña as anti-vaxxer suspect leads for suffering a Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS) as a self-defense and attempted domestic violence in media interview abuse under a reference from the Republic Act #9262: Section 3c & 26 or Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 and a single felony of Maximum Tolerance with her lack of identification process of the Republic Act #11525: Section 12 or CoViD19 Vaccination Program Act, and the Batasang Pambansa #880: Section 3c or Public Assembly Act of 1985.

Some other passengers are heading themselves through the Vaccination Hub safely in Brgy. Lower Bicutan of Taguig. "Ang gusto po namin na lahat po sila ay bakunado na. Kapag malaman po namin sa isang tsekpoint na hindi ba po sila bakunado, may nakaabang po diyan na nakita nyo po sa shuttle service bus na mag-dederecho po sa kanila sa pinakamalapit na Vaccination Hub". (We want them all to be vaccinated. When we find out at a checkpoint that they are not vaccinated, someone is waiting there that you saw on that shuttle service bus to direct them to the nearest Vaccination Hub).

Unvaccinated patients will also be helped to bring to the nearest testing center. EVC will be implemented on their selected city streets each week.

Two of the Facebook netizens told Radyo Bandera, she needs some rest as per simple advice in Tagalog dialect, "Dapat dyan sa babaeng yan na nagwala, turukan ng Sinovac, Astrazeneca o Pfizer na bakuna habang matulog". (That woman who has gone astray should be injected her with Sinovac, Astrazeneca or Pfizer vaccine while sleeping). The other Netizen said, unprofessionalism in media industry identities didn't look right at that time as a pre-determined CoViD-19 spreader, "Any parties should not get so dramatic or drastic. It means all sides should stay calm and maybe positive to be confirmed. All of her side should not be shamed or to be unprofessional. The respondent should be given a proper test the said virus of Coronavirus Disease-19 (CoViD19) Omicron variant to know the severity level. False alarm or not, CoViD19 has just a flu hybrid with a protective covering spike protein". The assurance of news reporting in media interview abuse against Renelie Joie Cadeliña compromises more to comply than a stalking point and discrimination as per Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)'s Labor Advisory #03-21: Section 3.

As for Cadeliña alone, she will be facing herself to 6 to 12yrs. in prison as per Prisión Mayor for a severe penalty by court. The National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will soon face the anti-vaxxer suspect at a nearest Taguig court room or the Taguig PNP detention cell in a coming days or months, after she threw one ABS-CBN microphone committing herself a media offense in press freedom, which is a different story from the ABS-CBN shutdown.

Whether she liked it or not, Cadeliña will correct her honest fault, for a public media interview through ABS-CBN News or facing its consequences with a personal disrespect and maximum tolerance in jail time without any single apology from its jurisdiction of media interview despite both for a later tolerance and discrimination.

EDITOR’s RANT NOTE from RP#4’s Miko Kubota: *honest facepalms* This is so disgusting for your ragequits for skipping your CoViD-19 vaccine. Anti-vaxxers like you is more just either a racial slur issue or I would say, it’s a terrible game for Omicron in common regulars. *confronts aggressively point-of-view to Renelie Joie Cadeliña* As a gamer like me for my take in our news assignment in this article from our friends at the Hinobi newsroom gets ZERO lives. Your GAME is OVER and who cares!? I’m a former BIRTHDAY RUINER before Season 1 of my show of “Glitch Techs” as a kid -- and things are different to me at all. Go get vaccinated unless later discriminated to yourself and interviewed in its televised media. Your just an absolute vulgaritive jerk as consistency for its maximum tolerance! Your MIC is yours, NOT your serious criminal garbage. Hope you can understand that as my role in our internet network presidency and a station manager myself with support from Rhayniel. In behalf from our team at my fictional character of “Glitch Techs”... I’ll meet you soon one-on-one, if you REPEAT THAT CONSEQUENCE right now. *two-fingers pointed you, face-to-face* So be it. -- MK

Fire in his Blood (Blood)

» Pairing: Jackson Wang x Reader

» Genre: Angst and fluff; vampire!au, non-idol!au

» Word Count: 1,862

» Description: After a chance encounter at a hockey game you become infatuated with player number twenty-eight, Jackson Wang. But how do you bridge the divide between human and vampire?

» ice :: fire :: blood

photo cred

The week flew by in a daze. You went to your courses, did your homework, went to work...all while thinking of Jackson. Several conversations and one kiss were, apparently, all it took to get you obsessed. All of the doodles in the margins of your papers were of him—the way his hair stuck to his forehead when he’d been practicing really hard, the curve of his lips when he smiled, the strong line of his jaw when he was distant or angry.

It had been a week. It was a startling statistic.

Mina, now that she’d given up on you giving up on him, had fun teasing you. She’d walk around with your sketches in front of her face, saying things like, “I love you. Please suck my blood!”

You would roll your eyes and snatch the paper from her hand, sometimes even going so far as crumpling it and throwing it away. It was somewhat low of Mina to be making jokes about sucking someone’s blood. Not only because there were multiple occasions (the day at the hockey rink being one of them) where she’d almost gotten into that predicament herself, but also because there were normally only two ways that drinking someone’s blood could end.

The first is the one to hope for—it bonds you with the person. The amount of trust and vulnerability it takes to open yourself up and allow someone to feed off you was substantial. And if done right, both people came out of it with a stronger relationship. Oftentimes, it was a lifelong bond.

The other option was far more common. Sometimes when a vampire fed off a human it went the opposite way. Of course, there were still some violent vampire attacks involving feeding. And these always had the effect of alienating the two people, particularly because the human that had been fed on felt violated—physically, mentally, and emotionally. This was almost always the case when it was a violent attack. But sometimes this reaction happened amongst close friends. Both you and Mina had heard stories of vampires feeding off of friends, roommates, lovers...and this negative reaction taking place. It destroyed relationships.

You did not like to think about this chance, new as your relationship with Jackson was. So Mina’s teasing, after the first couple of times, was not appreciated.

But she was feeling more lighthearted as of late because she’d taken your advice and continued seeing Hoseok. You could see the difference in her personality—the world was not so serious anymore. It was an overall improvement.

Yoongi had not been surprised by your ditching him at the club, although he hadn’t loved your execution. But you had, basically, parted amicably. You heard through the grapevine that he was already seeing someone else, so you didn’t let the incident trouble your thoughts.

In no time, the morning of the hockey game was here. Mina was already up when you finally stumbled out of bed in the morning. She was drinking her typical electrolyte-infused, artificial OB neg after her morning run. She wasn’t sweaty or flushed, but her cheeks were sallow and her fangs peeked out over her lips.

You too, after nine hours without a drink, looked the same. Your fangs extended past your lip so that you had to walk around with them bared, your skin tight on your cheeks as your body pleaded for blood and oxygen.

You pulled a bag of artificial AB positive from the fridge, dumped it into a cup and plopped it in the microwave. You looked at Mina questioningly and she understood.

“My run was okay,” she shrugged, “Hoseok said he’d go with me tomorrow.” She teetered excitedly as you turned your back to her to get your body-temperature blood from the microwave. You took a giant gulp, rejoicing in the smooth feeling of it sliding down your throat and settling in your stomach, your teeth retracting as your body rejuvenated. “Are you excited for tonight?”

You grimaced, placing your cup in the sink and turning to her with a worried expression. “Nervous.” You ran a hand through your hair and leaned against the counter in dismay, “I’m sure his teammates won’t like me. And I don’t want to cause any trouble.”

“So, just do what you always do,” Mina shrugged, “Stuff yourself before you go. You should be fine. You have the most self-control of any vampire I know.” You smiled appreciatively and Mina disappeared into the bathroom to take a shower.

The day went by in a whirlwind. You had to be at the hockey rink at six o’clock and there was a mountain of things to do before then. Work had you busy from nine till three, and then there was homework, and after that, there was little time to shower and get ready. By the time you walked out the door that evening, the sun sinking behind tall brick buildings and busy streets, you weren’t even thinking of food.

But the sensation hit you as soon as you the game started and the first hockey player was shoved unceremoniously into the plexiglass barrier, blood smearing the surface. The smell aggravated your nose harshly. Your stomach clenched tightly, rumbling lowly. You felt your canines prod the plush softness of your lower lip and you remembered. You hadn’t eaten anything since that glass this morning.

You started fiddling your thumbs in your seat, anxious and restless, trying to distract yourself. Why didn’t they serve blood at these things? You’d have killed for some AB pos. Maybe literally, if you waited any longer.

But every time Jackson craned his neck in search of you in the stands, his eyes meeting yours and that characteristic smile transforming his face...something twisted in your stomach that was entirely unrelated to hunger. You couldn’t leave.

At halftime, you had planned to run and get a drink at the small market nearby. It would be overpriced and kind of shitty, but anything to keep you from attacking someone in the middle of a game. But before you could rise from your seat a little girl and her father passed you on their way to the aisle. You nearly lunged out at them. You gripped the armrests so hard they left dents in your palms, and your fingers left dents in the plastic. By the time you had regained control of yourself, halftime was over and Jackson was waving at you from the ice. Crap.

You met Jackson outside the locker room afterward. He emerged in a cloud of steam, skin still sparkling with sweat. But what caught your eye was the blood dripping down his lip. He smiled hugely when he saw you, but you couldn’t return the gesture, entranced as you were the glittering red ruby that trailed down his bottom lip.

“Hey, are you okay?” he said. You dragged your eyes away from his lip to meet his eyes, soft and warm. You chewed on your bottom lip and shook your head, embarrassed.

Jackson took a risk and trailed his fingers down your cheek slowly, following the pathway of your sunken cheeks. “You haven’t eaten.”

You smiled because it has only been a week but he seemed so attentive, seemed to know you so well. You took a step back, suddenly afraid of what might happen. You understood now why Mina had responded to the smell of his blood that way, how hunger made his blood (already intoxicating) that much more dangerous. “I forgot.”

“You forgot?” he deadpanned. You nodded your confirmation and looked away from him. His fingers clasped your chin gingerly, moving your head so that you were forced to look at him. “Can you make it home?”

Even as he asked the question, all you could think of was the small drop of blood coming from his lip. Driven by pure instinct, you stood on your tiptoes and dragged your tongue slowly up his chin, scooping the blood onto your tongue and swallowing.

Jackson’s heart skipped a beat. He gulped, his hands shook as he pushed down on your shoulders gently, “Guess that’s a no.” His hand moved quickly from your shoulder and encircled your wrist, pulling you away from such a public space. His eyes darted from doorway to doorway, finally finding the weight room, dark and deserted. He sighed in relief, twisting the handle easily and pulling you into the room. He paused once inside, looking out to make sure no one had spotted him before turning the lock.

When he turned back to face you, he jumped slightly. Your eyes had gone white, and your fangs had fully extended. The small taste of blood had pushed you over the edge. Jackson held his hands out defensively, wanting to help but not wanting you to attack, “Hey,” he whispered, saying your name softly, “You can do it.” He moved slowly to a seat, leaning against the wall and tilting his neck up, “You can do it. It’s okay.”

You were on top of him in seconds, straddling him on the chair. Jackson breathed slowly, surprisingly unafraid. You hovered above his neck, your breath cold like ice against his skin, his vein abundantly clear to you as it throbbed with the rhythm of his heart.

Animalistic as you wear, you did pause. You’d only fed off of a human twice before, and both times (despite their being close friends of yours) their pulse had been erratic and unsteady, adrenaline pulsing through their veins to keep them steady, every muscle in their body urging to fulfill their natural flight instinct.

Jackson’s...didn’t. His pulse was steady just like his breath, slow and calm. When your eyes drifted from his artery to his eyes, you were startled back to yourself. The white receded from your eyes and you looked at him as yourself, despite your desperate hunger.

He smiled slightly, noticing the subtleties of the transformation. His fingers touched your cheek delicately, “Hey.”

“You’re not...afraid?”

“No,” he whispered, leaning forward and kissing you delicately, “I don’t know why. But I’m not.” His eyes connected with yours like a chain link fence. And you didn’t know why either, but you weren’t afraid.

Without the animal side taking control, with complete awareness, you leaned down so that your lips hovered above his neck. You kissed the flesh delicately and a shiver ran up his spine. You paused, waiting to make sure he was okay. A soft hand traced a circle on the small of your back, propelling you forward.

Your fangs extended slowly and pierced his skin like a needle through fabric. Simple and easy. You traced your tongue over the incision marks and were instantly consumed. You forgot everything in the world except for his body beneath yours.

When you’d finished, satisfied but not full, afraid of taking too much, you licked a trace up his neck again, the wounds closing with only the smallest of marks. You kissed the spot again, blushing this time as your hunger couldn’t shield you.

“Full?” Jackson said, and you could hear the smirk in his voice.

“Thank you,” you whispered, avoiding his gaze.

He tilted your chin up and smiled, “Any time.”
