The Boys with a Street-smart S/O- HC’s

Request-The boys with a street-smart girlfriend please?

By-Sandy

_____________________________________________

______________________________________________

DARRY CURTIS-

• Darry wants to always make sure your safe, he has times where he can’t be with you when your alone. And that worries him, even though you know your way around and you grew up in this environment. I could see him finding an ounce of comfrot in knowing that you can protect yourself but that still doesn’t stop him from worrying. He tries to prevent you from having to go somewhere by yourself as much as possible which kinda irritates you but you know it’s out of love. • I feel like he would love the fact that you can kick ass but not the idea of you fighting with someone even more you getting jumped. • You aren’t the average gal, you know how to fight and you know that the world isn’t all sunshine and unicorns. Sometimes it prevents you from making female friends but you don’t crap so it’s better not to have them. • Darry likes protecting you even though you don’t need it. You and him have definitely had some arguments about the fact he acts like you need to be saved all the time. Which is where your iconic nickname for him “Superman” came from. • You have totally knocked somebody out for saying shit about Darry. • He gets his ego bruised when you do that, so annoying, but you don’t tell him so it’s your little secret that your protecting Darry every now and then • You have totally outsmarted him in the streets logic wise. As it says your street smart, while Darry is mostly book smart.

•The boys like you a lot, they have invited you to rumbles and you went once and just guess how that went over with Darry….yeah not great

SODAPOP CURTIS-

•Your his role model. He wants to be just like you it’s almost hysterical. He will pick up on things you do and say to become a better “jd/hood” in his terms. You find it adorable.

•Totally cheering for you when you are in a fight. No doubt. But once you get hit, who ever hit you is going to have more than a couple of bruises. • He doesn’t doubt for a minute that you can protect yourself, but he likes doing almost about everything with you. So if he is going with you everywhere it’s not that he doesn’t believe you can stick up for yourself its that he wants to be with you ninety nine percent of the time.

•You have definitely gone to a rumble. He strikes me as someone who would totally dig having a s/o to go beat people up with (that sounds so horrible omg). I think the fact that you know how to live life the same way he does makes you even more attractive to him.

•Definitely make out sessions after fights/rumbles.

•After your make-out session (i’m so cheesy) his first priority is for you to get all cleaned up. He loves you and doesn’t like seeing you hurt. I mean it the dude could have a deep cut on his arm and it’s bleeding out but he is still putting on your band-aid

•”Soda your blood is on the kitchen floor. Let me clean it up” You sighed in disbelief

“No..” He pauses struggling to open the band-aid “Just. Wait. One..ah there we go” He says as he puts the band-aid on precisely (definitely has his tongue out when he is really concentrating)

•Steve and you definitely get along well, the three of y’all are like the Three Musketeers. Or more like the Three Ass-Kickers

PONYBOY CURTIS-

• You and him definitely do almost everything together, you guys like similar things and you like each-other. Sounds pretty nice to me. •I feel like similar to Darry he doesn’t feel great when you stick up for him but unlike Darry (stupid darry…. just kidding. love ya dar-bear) he can admit that he appreciates it. • You and him definitely share tips and stuff, very couple goals like

• He is fine with you going to rumbles but is definitely having you stick by him the entire time or at least in his sight so that you don’t get kidnapped or whatever the dude comes up

•I feel like your street-smarts and his book smarts even eachother out. Not him helping you in school and you helping him in the streets (why does that sound weirder , whatevs)

•When you first met he definitely was shocked about how fine you were with all of the greaser things :0

• Your a greaser by far, you dig the rumbles and stuff. You probably have been to the cooler once. Ponyboy was definitely petrified (their so dramatic)

DALLAS WINSTON

• Power house couple. That’s what I have got to say. Wait no. Partners in crime. Okay sorry for the cheesy nicknames. It’s just that you and Dally are so alike which can good and bad.

•You both get pissed off if the other one is hurt. You guys workout together, he suddenly works out now. Probably because you do. •Darry and him have the same ego problem. Only Dally ego gets bruised if you stand up for yourself when your there which to be honest is expected..I mean come on guys…it literally Dallas Winston. •If someone say one thing about Dally that’s no good, happens more often than we’d like. They were gonna wish they kept it to themselves because now they have Dally and you to deal with.

•You guys are both pretty smart in the street smarts department. You guys balance each other out and to help when something goes off course.

•Dallas is a protective person. His belongings are his. And no one interferes with that rule. Then you came along (dun dun dunn) I am only playing with y’all…

• He likes that you can stand up…um actually no. He can get annoyed with the fact that most of the time you don’t even need him to lift a finger. He wants to protect you but you won’t let him which makes him angry.

• You and him argue about you going to the rumble or if your going to fight this person. He just doesn’t want to see you hurt. And he would rather him fight than you. It’s just Dally. Which is irritating at times.

JOHNNY CADE-

• Oh my lord. When y’all first met he was ready to piss in his pant. (i am hilarious…i mean come on)

•He has never seen a female who actually knows how to defend themselves. For some reason this intimidated him. •He doesn’t like seeing you hurt but also admires that you know how to stand up for yourself and those who can’t stand up for themselves, which means lil’ Johnny from time to time. •He doesn’t have an ego to bruise. I am serious it’s sad but true. The guy has zero self-confidence which equals no ego. Poor thing. • But that means that he doesn’t care if you fight somebody that was being mean to him.

•However, it might make him feel like he can’t protect you well enough. And personally I won’t wanna do that to Johnny so I advise keeping your protective girlfriend fights on the down low.

•You have met his parents on “accident”, scared the shit out of his dad. Johnny was in disbelief the whole time. His mom was speechless. • So that was fun :)

•You are like another one of Johnny’s bodyguards expect that he is your bodyguard too, when necessary.

KEITH “TWO-BIT” MATTHEWS

• Rumbles and then cartoons. Mhm. Yes I did. •Y’all are the cutest, you guys party together, beat up Socs together, and watch cartoons together. •He honestly isn’t bothered by the fact you can give a punch and then take one. To be honest, I think it’s one of his favorite things about you. • You definitely outsmart him by a long shot (im

sorry two-bit)

•You guys party together a lot but, somehow he is the one that’s drunk while your sober. You began to think it’s a personality trait of his. •You guys definitely keep score of who punched the most Socs (oh god that’s so mean) it’s a thing that’s been going on for too long.

•You’re really competitive and having Two-Bit as your s/o you are inclined to be in competition. •I mean I don’t know what else to say other than your Two-Bits dream girl

STEVE RANDLE-

• I am not sure with Steve cause he seems like someone who would love to have a s/o that’s street-smart but then he is protective and wants to protect you. •I am gonna try and see if I can get a mix of both.

•Steve protects the things he loves but he knows you don’t need any protecting but he will try to with every chance he gets.

•Steve probably will get yelled at for making you look weak, he will apologize profusely not wanting to get his ass kicked by his own s/o (not that you would ever do that)

•Definitely thinks your a queen, bow down. (okay this is just me being goofy)

• You think it’s sweet that he wants to be there for you but you always find it annoying how he will always act as your shield, like man come on

• You definitely have a handshake, after any sort of fight. • Rumbles…are the best. You always talk with Steve to not act as your personal shield during the rumble. (it’s very important you don’t look like a weakling, he understands)

•You like many outsmart him on the street smarts maybe not in cars but definitely in everything else (if you couldn’t tell, you’re very smart)

•Honestly Steve and his protectiveness gets to the better of him and will probably win him a silent treatment.

TIM SHEPARD-

• Dally copy and paste. He hates that you won’t let him stick up for you. He gets so infuriated. • He has trouble understanding why you don’t want him to protect you, when you tell him why it goes through his ear and out the other.

•Like Steve, will try his best to protect you when he can. But you don’t let it happen…ever (well almost every time)

•Tim is a guy, so like many he has an ego, so you standing up for him no no no. His rule is if you don’t let me stand up for you, you don’t get to stand up for me. Honestly even if you let him stand up for you, you would be caught dead standing up for him.

• Tim and Dally are buddies so they fight. Guys like that so compassion to the buddies through giving them a black eye or calling them an idiot and many other disrespectful names. •You have tried to stop Dally and Tim fighting….didn’t end well for anyone. • You ended up with a black eye form Dallas accidentally hitting you, Tim is very angry and puts Dallas in hospital, Tim is hurt but not like Dallas. You get silent treatment for a week. So really Tim was fine.

•It’s literally just a Dally copy and paste expect it’s Tim Shepherd only difference is one likes kids the other doesn’t. (not exactly the same but ifykyk)

CURLY SHEPARD-

• Finds your streetsmarts very very hot. Dudes like Sodapop almost, cheering you on. And all that stupid guy stuff.

•But can get jealous that he isn’t able to protect you like the other guys do with their s/o’s. (he always finds a way to be jealous)

•You notice this but don’t acknowledge it because you don’t want to have to deal with his whining (it never ends…)

•You aren’t as aggressive when he is watching though cause that equals the same amount of aggression or more from the other person(s)

•You don’t want him to be all up in your space everytime you go out to get a bite, do you?

•He isn’t protective it’s just that he is jealous

•Makes zero sense but that’s all it is.

•He is jealous that he can’t protect you.

•Your just built different

im going fucking feral about noelle now. thought about echidna too long .augh!!!!! the arc was SO WELL SET UP holy shit it was SO cool. noelle was one of the few big plot points Not specifically elaborated on in an interlude a la Cauldron in Battery's interlude. not one single spoiler!!!!! it was teased in tiny tiny increments and that was so. fucking. good. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE PART WHERE COIL AND DINAH HIDE IN THE BASEMENT???? CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

“Pet, the chance that Crawler kills us, now that we’ve undertaken this route?” (...) “Three point one percent,” Dinah gasped out. “Reassuring,” Coil said. The vault door opened before them. “Trickster? Would you announce our imminent arrival to Noelle?” “Yeah,” Trickster sighed. “Fuck. I hate to do this, but can I get a number?” “Trickster!” Sundancer admonished him, sounding horrified, “You can see how much pain it’s causing her.” “It’s important. Kid, what’s the chance that Noelle kills us?” (...) “Nine point eight percent,” she managed.

literally the BEST greatest ever hype buildup for a villain. that was SO chilling!! number 3 moment that made vibes go and infodump to her mother AND her irl friends, neither of which had read worm, because they were the only ppl who would listen.

sobbing. i thought that carol's interlude was a noelle interlude at first lmao with the opening focusing on 'dark and hunger', and then i was. lowkey disappointed. but also the lack of a noelle interlude as I said made her buildup More and Better drawn out.

and how the fight follows directly from coil's death!! so good!!! the way all the big villain arcs follow from one another like dominoes. SO FUCKING GOOD. i had so much Analysis in my head about how Wildbow maintains tension even with non-stop villain fights while I was reading, should write that out.

and then THE FIGHT JUST. STARTS. AND . ADN!!!!! !!! TRAVELLERS INTERLUDE ARC!!! holy. SHIT. holyshit. the SIMURGH. who has been teased as the worst horriblest endbringer for All Of Worm. and the tension of what echidna is doing while we're stuck in madison. draws out the buildup even further. critical hype levels. seeing her get renamed was iconic too but I have a Names Post in the works that dives deep into that.

h.oughh, , . her power is cool as shit but I've already written about that a lot. then the fight is solved with THE PORTALS?? ?that were set up from LITERALLY ARC TWO!!! talk about setup/payoff!!! !and then cauldron reveal kicks off the next arc. augh. also vista is there 👍

#echidna #noelle meinhardt #vibes goes rabid #I WAS SO HYPED FOR THE ECHIDNA FIGHT YOU HAVE NO IDEA. dying at school waiting to get home so i could read it #this rant is seven months overdue #i'm sure there was also great setup for weaver and khepri with how taylor coordinated with the heroes #but I was mostly focused on HOLY FUCK KAIJU #worm #worm spoilers

Unless you've been living under a rock—one without a WiFi connection or an eager, pop culture-loving book club—you're probably aware that Britney Spears just released her tell-all memoir. While The Woman In Me offers a behind-the-scene look at the star's most iconic moments (and, yes, many bombshells), we were very surprised to hear that Spears and NSYNC's Justin Timberlake weren't just love-struck teens: They lived together.

In the book, Spears reveals that the two cohabitated in Orlando during the early aughts, referring to their love nest as "a gorgeous, airy two-story house with a tile roof and a swimming pool out back."

Naturally, as people who spend a fair amount of time thinking about celebrity real-estate, we were desperate to know more about the house. After spending time sleuthing, we learned that Timberlake purchased a Florida retreat for $1.3 million back in 1999. Nestled in Bay Hill, a gated community within Orlando, the two-story, 5,430-square-foot home boasts a tiled roof and a pool out back. (Are you thinking what we're thinking?) We even found the above video tour of what we believe to have been Spears and Timberlake's abode.

That said, a lot has changed since the couple (allegedly) lived there. According to WESH 2, a local news outlet, Timberlake sold the home in 2006 for $2 million—making a $700,000 profit. Most recently, the home was listed for $3.4 million in March 2022, only to be sold for $3.2 million a month later. WESH 2 claims the property has undergone renovation since Timberlake sold his home, so it's unclear exactly what the suspected space was like while Spears lived there. But, if the property's most recent listing is any indication, it's certainly luxurious.

Currently, the 1.06-acre lot is decked out to the nines with a 12-hole putting green, built-in barbecue area, and a saltwater pool. Of course, the home's interiors are equally impressive, thanks to a two-story living room, his and hers closets in the primary suite, as well as a butler's pantry that double as a temperature-controlled wine cellar. While we can't be 100 percent sure this is where Britney and Justin whiled away their youths, we are confident it could be a piece of her real-estate history.

#britney spears #justin timberlake #justney #Youtube #now I wonder which house did they stay during the abortion….#the hollywood hills home?#or this orlando home?

American Culture of the 1910s: Social Dance

“In June 1913, the waspish and unconventional journalist (and future modernist icon) Djuna Barnes published the vignette ‘You can Tango – a Little – at Arcadia Dance Hall’. It follows the foppish and upper-class Reginald Delancey as he decides to dispel his ennui one evening by indulging his curiosity (and unacknowledged interest in class and ethnic slumming) by following up an advertisement in the paper and visiting the Arcadia dance hall.

A new facility, owned and run in a working-class district by the ‘Social Centers Corporation’, it is committed – as he is informed by the conspicuously Jewish secretary, Sydney S. Cohen – to ‘elevat[ing] the tone of dancing and to plac[ing] the dancehall business on a clean and wholesome basis’. Once there, Reginald is surprised to see dance censors, helping to enforce an atmosphere where dancing a ‘modified’ tango is permitted.

Eager to dance, he inveigles his father’s Irish office boy into providing an introduction to Delia O’Connor, shopgirl at the perfume counter of the Paris department store on Broadway. ‘Everyone had a glorious time,’ and when the dancing is over, Delia reflects on her way home about the ‘real frangipani sort of guy’ she met earlier – while Reggie resolves to become a patron of the Paris. Barnes’s article suggests a good deal about social dance in the 1910s, especially the tone of innocent fun that accompanies much of the writing about it.

It was truly a craze; by the 1910s over five hundred public dance halls were open each evening in the Greater New York area, and the decade saw the construction of several of the dance palaces which became such a feature of 1920s dance – New York’s Grand Central and Roseland Ballroom among them. Many young women in particular became obsessed with dance; a New York entertainment survey of 1911 showed that 96 percent of girls enjoyed dancing, and Barnes’s Delia enthuses that dancing has the movies ‘beaten to a thirty-nine-cent bargain sale on a rainy Monday’.

Moreover, Barnes also hints at some of the sociopolitical forces attending this relatively new form of public leisure. The dance craze was deeply enmeshed with the progressive discourse of moral hygiene which had an especial concern for unescorted young women; but it also evidenced the progressive faith that vice and public health problems in America’s big cities could be solved through systems of physical culture and exercise.

Reggie’s Arcadian adventure also suggests how new cultures of commercial entertainment were encouraged by – but also sustained – new forms of advertising, new magazines, and dancing celebrities who became ‘idols of consumption’ in much the same way as did early film stars. And it suggests how the language and the barriers of class, race, gender and ethnicity were both inescapable in the dance and music of the 1910s, but also open to often titillating and exhilarating redefinition and flexibility.

As was true of films and vaudeville in the 1910s, the class profile of those who attended social dances in commercial entertainments underwent significant change in the decade, a change which led to a big increase in overall participation. Like vaudeville and films, social dancing was a well-established feature of working-class recreation by the 1910s; and the language of respectability was similarly crucial in enticing the middle class to get involved. This applied to both styles and venues.

‘Tough dancing’, or barnyard dancing, had emerged from African American dance styles and the Barbary Coast vice district of San Francisco in the 1900s, and encouraged close proximity between dance partners as well as jerky physical movement supposedly copying the movements of animals (the turkey trot, for example, involved flapping the arms; the grizzly bear involved close hugging).

Middle-class reformers were horrified at the sexual suggestiveness of these dances, which were described as ‘not dancing at all, but a series of indecent antics’ of ‘disreputable origins’, and they were widely banned at prominent middle-class dance venues and hotels. (Woodrow Wilson even cancelled the ball planned for his inauguration in 1913, fearing the scandal that might ensue if preventing these dances proved impossible).

Dance censors, dance manuals and a new set of dance magazines all focused on adapting and ‘refining’ these dances through a discourse of respectability in dancing, one which defined dance’s benefit as healthy exercise and the cultivation of ‘grace’ rather than focusing on its romantic or sexual potentialities.

It was even discussed in the terms of racial–national improvement so common in physical culture; in the words of one booster, regular dances in public schools, properly instructed and chaperoned, would ‘do more good to the race than . . . discussing eugenics or . . . indulging in a flippant study of social economics’. Commercial venues also emerged to cater for a middle- class clientele emerging from a tradition whereby dancing took place primarily in private homes and at society balls.

As Lewis Erenberg discusses, the rise of the cabaret as a middle- class venue in the decade broke down barriers between performers and audience that had structured theatrical and concert hall stages in earlier entertainment cultures; cabarets became a ‘new public environment for the exploration of alternatives to the private character of the nineteenth century’.

Cabarets expanded the spaces they had for exhibition dancers to cater for public dancing; elegant hotels began to hold ‘tea dances’ for afternoon dancing; and there was a boom in dance instruction classes. Attempts to regulate this expansion were also extensive Erenberg observes that middle-class cabaret tables were organised to discourage contacts between unacquainted men and women and, as Kathy Peiss notes, ‘the “couple on a date” became an increasingly important cultural construct for the middle class, since it provided a way to structure potentially promiscuous heterosocial relations at the new resorts’.

Campaigning Progressives in cities across the country helped pass licensing ordinances regulating dance halls and dancing academies. Committees even opened and ran dance halls in some working-class areas, although ‘tough dancing’ – as well as greater freedom in heterosocial contact – persisted in working-class dance culture in the decade, often in defiance of the standards of the more recent uptake of public dance by the middle class.

Peiss’s seminal work in particular has explored how young working women generally enjoyed greater freedoms in how they danced and with whom they danced than did middle- class women of the time, and how they forged a distinctive culture of personal style, qualified sexual freedom and female friendship in public dance. Such a culture is important for understanding that the nature of the ‘new woman’, one of the decade’s most enduring archetypes, did not emerge purely through a ‘trickle down’ model of cultural transmission.

Although critics still tend to define that new woman as primarily a middle-class figure, the cultures of working-class dance demonstrate that working women were also instrumental in redefining the limits and nature of female agency, style and independence in the period. Despite this, the decade’s dancing icons were those who presented dancing to the middle class not just as wholesome, unthreatening, elegant and fun but as articulated to a whole new mode of fashion and social aspiration.”

- Mark Whalan, “Performance and Music.” in American Culture of the 1910s

Annunciation: Ukriane icon + meditation

Icon by Lyuba Yatskiv, Ukraine Acrylic on Wood 23.6 W x 23.6 H x 1 D in https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Annunciation/1722365/8163246/view

+++

Meditation by Fr. Kenneth Tanner, copied from https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10227343268704825&set=a.1072017398034

The wingéd archangel Gabriel brings a message to a teenaged-woman, an invitation from the triune life—that personal thrice-holy Love that refuses to let death destroy forever any of the humans of any place or time for they are made in the image of eternity.

The angelic word is a request to bear in herself the divine Word by whom in the beginning the Father speaks the cosmos into existence by the Spirit. And Mary is willing.

Her consent is inscribed on her robes in Ukranian: “I am the Lord’s servant. Let it be to me according to your word.”

She who was a seamstress in the Temple—one of those who made and mended the veil that will tear from top to bottom on the day the Son of God and her son dies in order by his death to cause death to vanish from human nature forever like straw in flame—holds a spool of red yarn in one hand.

From the sky window the Spirit descends and hovers, and a new creation begins. In the womb of the virgin and by her powers also the body of Jesus Christ is knit together, the Son having, as Hippolytus wrote, “woven it for himself in the sufferings of the cross.”

Here “he who cannot be contained is contained.” The sign of his crucifixion is visible in his halo, his hand poised to bless, heal, comfort, and set free.

But what about the well and the amphora (pitcher?)

So many things but first this: to become human is to become as an infant nearly 80 percent water, to begin life as a body suspended in water.

There is a nod to the water Christ would later turn to wine at the wedding of Cana, after Jesus consents to his mother’s request.

There is a bow to all the ancient stories of God meeting his people at wells, including where Christ, himself weary and thirsty because he truly is human in every way as we are, tells the Syrophoenician woman he has living water to give her that when she drinks it, she will thirst no more.

The waters of the flood. The waters of the Red Sea. The waters of the Jordan in which Christ is baptized, and finally the River of Life.

Today, March 25, is the Feast of the Annunciation. It’s nine months to Christmas.

Melissa Gilbert is opening up about her special bond with Little House on the Prairie costar Michael Landon.

On Friday, Gilbert, 59, spoke with PEOPLE during the Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival and revealed that the late actor — who played her father in the long-running series — also took on a similar role for the cast.

“Michael Landon was like a father figure to many of us, obviously, and a very, very important influence in my life,” Gilbert, who famously snagged the role of Laura Ingalls at 9-years-old, exclusively tells PEOPLE.

“My own father passed away when I was 11,” she continues. “And I had been working with Michael for two years at that point, and he really sort of stepped in and kind of watched over me in a much more paternal way.”

“Even though he was paternal instantly and we were very, very close,” she added, also noting that they had “vacationed together” and their families “hung out together on New Year's Eve.”

The Tenure actress shared that Landon — who played patriarch Charles Ingalls and also took on other roles on the show — also went above and beyond for the Little House on the Prairie cast and recalled a specific tradition he had to get the cast “amazing” gifts.

“Every year for NBC, he would announce the Rose Parade and instead of taking a payment for that, he would use that money to buy the cast and crew Christmas presents every year,” she recalls.

“So he sacrificed his New Year's Eves, basically, to be at the Rose Parade at 3:00 a.m. so that he could give us all really amazing Christmas presents,” she adds.

Little House on the Prairie was loosely based on Laura Ingall Wilder's iconic Little House book series about her childhood growing up in the Midwest in the late 1800s and aired over 200 episodes between 1974 - 1983. There were also several specials during its nine-season run.

And the actress tells PEOPLE that the show — as well as its success — wouldn’t have been possible without Landon.

"It blows my mind that all of this is because of him. These people are here because he wrote this show and directed it and produced it, and I know that he would be incredibly proud if he could see this,” Gilbert says of Landon, who died in 1991 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

“This is his legacy. A hundred percent,” she adds.

ranking nine percent's to the nines album just because

this was so hard to rank omg

#7: RULEBREAKER

youtube

first of all, sorry i didnt put the music video, is cuz this is focused on the song, the music video is distracting ok! i was surprised myself that i ranked this #7, i love rulebreaker very much and i'm sure she would be higher here if zhengting had more lines. just kidding (or not), i'm obssessed with rulebreaker, i mean it, don't get me wrong, the only reason shes last is cuz the other songs are just that good. i think rulebreaker is really special and the perfect title track for their debut

#6: GOOD THINGS

youtube

this one also surprised me while i was making the rank! i ove good things, shes so sprecious i don't know what i would do with my life if she didnt existed! i love my nine vocalists!! my boys can sing!!!

#5: EI喔EI喔

youtube

i think this one is c-fans favourite cuz shes the only one i can still listen to on spotify cuz i found this account that shares songs that are popular on douyin. if thats the care, i see their vision, ei oh ei oh is a great song with a refreshing summer vibe that is just so adictive and mesmerizing

#4: 离不开

youtube

talking about songs with distracting music videos, this one is so emotional... is a shame zhengting doesnt have more lines, i'm convinced iqiyi hatewd giving my boy lines, but is whatever ig, shes a really good ballad and i love her

#3: 一起跳舞吧

youtube

i have no words to describe my feelings for this one, shes iconic, shes exciting, shes fun, i used to put her on my alarm when i had to wake up early for therapy and it was really cool to wake up to so much good energy

#2: I NEED A DOCTOR

youtube

best ballad in the world, queen of the iconic bridges, miss mesmerizing music video, really, i could have putted the mv here but lets not lose focus i can talk abou i need a doctor musicvideo some other time, for now lets talk about how geniously she was constructed, xukun's intro edited like that starts the song already very heavenly, then we have yanjun's beautiful voice right after????? urgh shes (i need a doctor) is historic!!! and dont even let me get started on the brigde, is just too good, sometimes i can't believe this song is real

#1: 了不起的9%

youtube

friends and non-friends HER!!!!! as the name of the song implies, this is nine percent being extraordinary, this is nine percent being amazing, this is nine percent showing what they were here for!! i'm very addicted to justin and zhangjing's voices in here, and zhengting opening the brigde is always a promising formula. i love listening to her at the gym cuz it makes me forget that i actually hate the gym and also she never fails to give me a energy boost

[breaking news!] i think we as a society were so much better with nine percent, like, 2018-2019 was the best years of my life, you think is a coincidence? i don't think so. even if iqiyi was kinda homophobic for not giving them more songs i stilll treasure this 7 little ones with my whole being and i'm happy and proud of my 9 boys for all they accomplished since then (and if i wake up in the middle of the night wanting to scream and cry "nine percent pls come back to me" that's like, unrelated)

Influence Me

In a not-too-distant past, the shape and feel of advertising and promotion was very different from what it is today. Before social media and the rise of the influencer, marketers leaned on famous athletes, movie stars, popular musicians, and other icons of pop culture to serve as spokespersons for their brand.

While this is still done in small measure—those athletes are typically getting lots of money and merch simply to be seen wearing a certain shoe or whatever—influencers are the new normal. After all, they can be a lot cheaper. I can only imagine how much they had to pay quarterback Joe Namath to wear pantyhose in 1974. I hope it was a lot.

Today, anyone with an Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube channel can become an influencer, and it’s pretty random how it occurs. There are four levels of influencers:

Mega-influencer: More than one million followers.

Macro-influencers: Between 100,000 and one million followers.

Micro-influencers: Between 10,000 and 100,000 followers.

Nano-influencers: Between 1,000 and 10,000 followers.

Turns out we consumers believe the influencers. Sixty-nine-percent of consumers trust recommendations from them, which goes a lot farther than a footballer wearing women’s clothing.

JC Penney is now putting its trust in an influencer, having created the new Stylus menswear brand around LaDarius Campbell. It’s a serious effort meant to help revive a sagging department store brand that has languished in recent years.

The limited-edition line will hopefully sway men to come to JCP, which may be no small task. I speak from experience with the JC Penney store at Amarillo’s Westgate Mall. They have suffered through supply chain shortages for far too long, with the men’s department looking like an over-shopped thrift store. This may be more about reinventing than just reviving.

The Dallas-based Campbell will host a live styling event at his local JCP, which will also be posted online afterward. Why they are not doing a livestream is beyond me, because it’s not like this is a sporting event with blackout markets.

I have to at least give a little credit to JCP for trying, because it most certainly needs help. The new line is a continuation of similar efforts to bolster its private label collections, which typically have higher margins for the company.

Of course, getting men excited about new clothes may be as likely as getting them to finish that project they started six months ago. The gender divide looms large here. Once again, I speak from experience, purchasing clothing only when I need to, not because I want to. Shopping for clothes is punishment before the judgment.

But then again, maybe enough guys will take a liking not only to the idea of shopping, but also this new line from JCP. The chain, which was born in 1902 in Kemmerer, Wyoming, has seen better days. When Ron Johnson became CEO in 2011, in an effort to revive a company that had taken a hard hit during the 2008-2009 recession, he scrapped coupons and weekly sales. Instead, he chose to use Walmart’s strategy, which is everyday low prices (EDLP).

Short story: It flopped, because JCP’s customers, which were primarily women, loved the thrill of the hunt and thrived on those weekly coupons and discounts. Sales dropped another 25%.

JCP then reverted to coupons and sales promotions, but now, revenues continue to sag. In 2020, an unlikely marriage of two property management companies, Brookfield Property Partners and Simon Property Group, bought JCP for $800 million. This included $300 million in cash, and the assumption of $500 million in debt.

More importantly, the two buyers were helping ensure the longevity of their shopping malls, because losing a major tenant is hard. It is not a good look (I’m thinking about all the Sears and Macy’s closings). But if you own one of your anchor stores, and have enough cash and gumption to keep it afloat, well…you get the picture. These two firms saved JCP from extinction.

And now we are left to ponder if the latest effort will find traction. But if it doesn’t, Joe Namath is still alive. Maybe he’d might like to model menswear this time around.

WORDS: 1336

I smiled as I felt the vibrations of the garage door opening from under my feet before closing and the thudding of my husband thudding up the stairs.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

“Sweetheart, I’m home!” Peter hallooed as I opened the oven door and pulled out honey oatmeal bread. “Something smells delicious!”

“I should hope so, my love!” I hummed as I set the pan down onto a elevated bread stand and slid in two fresh loaves of blueberry and strawberry bread. “I’ve been baking bread for the past three hours.”

“Why aren’t you laying down, anyway?” he asked me, taking a seat at the kitchen island and clasping his hands together.

“Can’t sit still right now,” I shrugged, swiping at the counter with a damp rag as I did a quick clean up. “Isabelle and the kids are all out back, playing in the leaves. You can hear the babies screaming with joy, by the way my love.”

“Ah,” he hummed, chuckling and patting his lap as I waddled over to take a seat. I smiled, clambering onto his lap in an intimate straddle.

“How was your appointment at the audiologist’s office today, my love?” I asked him as he wrapped his arms snuggly around me.

“Dr. Asher had me sit in a tiny room, stuffed bubble gum in my ears and had me repeat words back to him,” he grumbled. “The good doctor determined that I have a twenty three perfect hearing loss in my right ear and a thirty nine percent hearing loss in my left ear.”

I burst out into sudden giggles as his crass description of having his hearing tested.

“He also poured more bubble gum into my ears for a mold,” he told me, chuckling as he pressed his nose into the mermaid tattooed behind my left ear. “We both had an extremely enthusiastic discussion about the two types of hearing aids that he recommended to me before I settled on two over the ear hearing aids. I got to choose custom colors for my ear molds- green and blue. The actual hearing aid itself will be a dark grey.”

“That’s so cool,” I giggled as Baby Violet Marie woke up and started punching.

PUNCH KICK PUNCH KICK KICK PUNCH

“Hello, Baby Violet Marie,” he greeted her in a happy rumble.

“My love, I was thinking of leftovers for dinner tonight,” I told him. “Do you want me to fix you up a plate?”

“What I really want,” my husband mock glowered. “Is my wife, bare as the day she was born, ready and wanting my dick to impale her deep and hard.”

I couldn’t help the blush that overtook my face.

~xoXox~

I came to following my umpteenth orgasm, finding my handsome husband on his back, one hand lazily stroking his overhyper dick.

My love

“Sweetheart,” he smiled, breaking out into a loud groan as I hoisted myself up and mounted him once more, stilling as my pink petals gobbled up all thirteen inches of his magnificent length before I began to lazily ride him. “JESUS FUCK…”

“JeeJee Chris looks like me…” I teased him, a bubbling laugh escaping my mouth at the exasperated look his shot me.

“Little girl is a fucking icon,” he grumbled before flipping us so that we were both on our sides, gazing into the eyes of our soulmate as we both made ardent love to the other.

PUNCH PUNCH KICK KICK PUNCH KICK

“Good girl,” Peter praised the unborn little girl as he cradled me lovingly in his arms. “Daddy loves you. I can’t wait to hold you.”

PUNCH

A sudden squeal was ripped from beyond my lips as I found my sweet release and I fell limp. Peter followed a few minutes later, his gruff bellow and rush of warmth blossoming deep within my already occupied womb signaling his ending.

“Sweetheart, I already started up an Amazon wish list of things we can buy to make it easier for having a baby with spina bifida,” he murmured in a soft voice as he pressed gentle kisses to my forehead. “Soft bedsheets for the crib, comfortable baby clothes, a toy bunny that won’t chafe…”

You are a good man, Peter Thomas Ratajczyk.

“I got a family now,” he reminded me, wrapping his arms around me as I settled in to warm his cock for the night.

KICK PUNCH KICK PUNCH KICK PUNCH

~xoXox~

I woke up multiple time that night, in dire need of a good fucking. To my relief, Peter was always down for any kind of sex, taking me on doggy, cowgirl, missionary, and other positions that I didn’t know the name of. Each time I found orgasm, I would black out and my handsome older husband would take care of me, rubbing my aching back as he murmured sweet words of love to me.

“I hate being pregnant,” I bemoaned after waking to find my beefcake of a soulmate doing his morning workout with the babies as weights.

“And good morning to you too, sweetheart,” he grunted, lowering Baby Tommy and curling little girl into his chest, the two babies cooing sleepily as they dreamed precious baby dreams. “If it helps any, my greatest kink is seeing your womb carry my seed to full term.”

“I mean, I don’t hate the entire pregnancy,” I explained myself, getting out of bed. “I just don’t like the morning sickness, or the inability to keep from peeing my pants, or the weird ass cravings that I get, or the birthing process. Jesus, especially the birthing process.”

“Yes, well, you are still an amazing woman,” he told me, going to press kisses to the slowly rousing babies, raising little girl then Baby Tommy as they groggily woke up from their sleep. “You carry my baby safe and warm in your motherly womb as you nurture them and help them to grow before giving birth to them- you gave birth to little girl on the toilet, need I remind you.”

“Ah yes, of course I remind that,” I smiled at the memory of me in the half bath right off the laundry room, thinking that I had a massive poop to do. “I was so scared when I realized what had happened.”

“We both were so scared,” he corrected me, handing me the babies before dropping to do pushups. “When I saw you holding little girl, I just felt so guilty.”

“My love, why did you feel guilty?” I called out from the bathroom, where I was sitting on the toilet with the babies corralled in the tub.

“Because,” he explained, appearing in the doorway. “Had I pieced together what was happening to you, I would’ve rushed you to the hospital.”

“Hush now, my love,” I cooed, leaning back to allow him to wipe me clean. “It was none of our fault- it was simply meant to be.”
