Völkerball liveblogging

Dear lord this took me so long to edit you better appreciate it

Reise reise

Oooo~ but I still like the Hellfest version more :)) (Till’s face during the Hellfest chorus will always be my sexuality)

Schneider’s costume is fabulous but I’ll never trust those curls

Also vampire Reesh that’s a good look

Asdfghjklthe vagina entrance XDDD they really had to

Hello nice legs

I’ve watched this only once because i don’t like the sound. Someone said Till was sick and I don’t know what actually happened but his voice kinda sounds like it, especially more towards the middle of the live.

But the chorus is still so nice~

The tongue via Till’s fucked up slut face

Olli’s really serious

"Ist kein Licht am Horizont" REESH DO YOU WANNA KILL ME?? That was one sexy face

I really love Till’s expressions i want to kiss his face

The eyes! And then looking up to the sky<3 (was there even a sky or was inside I didn’t even notice XD)

I really don’t like Paul and Flake’s costumes

Fucking god that entrance is craking me up

Links 234

Hei hei hei!

I love how they all march on the stage

Bwhbwbwhwbhwbwhw XD

That’s a nice middle to wrap your hands around, mr Lindemann

I love when he’s hittig his chest on “links”

THE FANGS

Paul means business XD

You can’t not sing with them during links

Oh the solo<3 sounds so nice live

Thank god my favourite person from this stupid band is also the one most filmes otherwise I would’ve been in trouble

Dem boobs XD

Keine lust

I thought it was Sonne for one sec

He kicked the mic stand XD

Now you can hear he’s a little raspy

Yes Till we know the lyrics’ meaning and also that you’re horny

The chorus sounds nice again, it sounds better when he’s actually siniging vs talking

Who’s foamning at the mouth over that patch of skin under his pants, I’ve seen people talk about that (unfortunately it’s doing nothing for me)

"kaaaalt. Soo kaaaalt" I’ll keep you warm bby just don’t be sad T_T

Ok but Flake’s headpiece is actually hilariuous gotta admit

I really want to kiss Till *opening his mouth like a retarded owl* I don’t think I want anymore

Feuer frei

That was his I’m ready to slut pose XD

DONT HIT YOURSELF YOU DUMB BABY

Ooooooh Olli got shirtless (what were they calling this?)

I really like RZK’s top

Of course he’s gotta bully Flake

Chumby

I’m really trying to focus more on image but the voice is such a big thing for me and it’s clear he has something

The masks!! I love those so much

„Jaaaa”

Wow Schneider’s drumsticks went out with a literal bang

Asche zu Asche

4 lines later I finally realised what song is >.< and only because Till began to sing...

DID YOU SEE WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THOSE DRUMSTICKS?!? I knew why I had a thing for hands/fingers

Asdfghjkl Richard strutting down the stage with his little red stripe<3

He’s a moody goth and I love his look did he just put his hands on his hips? XD

Till’s cheeks! I want to pinch his face

Everyone’s favourite part and THE NECK TILT ok wow now that was hot

Tho I usually preffer the “In zehn Tagen” to RZK’s “Ich komm wieder” now it was the opposite (probably because I couldn’t see Till that well) and Reesh acting all sexy was definitely improving it

Go Flake go XD he’s so serious and by the end he’s having the time of his life meanwhile Till is having an existential crisis (another)

Olli’s abs are heeeeella nice

Till with his hand over his heart didn’t help his case

Yeah Richard ok you’re sexy i get it holly fuck I’ve never been more attracted to him

And now i’ll never be able to unsee the neck tilt

That ich kom wieder just unmade me

Morgenstern

Bath time XD

I really like when Till slicks his hair back

Dear lord the chorus thank you for your voice sir and congrats on it

I really like the general image of a bassist playing their bass (other verb I could’ve used was fingering XD that’s literally what he’s doing!!)

Ooooh the keyboards sound so nice<3

DON’T pluck your eyes out!

The fire part is really impressive

I love then Richard is doign his gay boy pose XD and then the closeup on him while bobbing his head

I need to say once again the chorus sounds wundershon

Mein Teil

The first 2 seconds I thought it was MHB

Paul and Richard walking towards each other<3

Aaaand the epicness begins!

Schneider is fabulous behind his drums, can’t forget about him

YEET

The tongue’s is at it again

FLAKE POPING UP WITH THAT SMILE CRACKED ME UP you demented human

People are rocking the hell out this song

“durch Engelsscharen” Till’s expression<3

And the maddnes begins. Wow it was shorter than usual... obviously, it was at the beginning

Flake has such a special style of running I can’t XD

Stein um Stein

And everyone is gonna talk about him drawing a house xD it was cute (considering what the song is about)

You’re being a slut again

Aaaaah I want to complain about the playback but I really can’t I rather prefer him with vocal cords. At least the rest of the song sounded excelent!

The little sound at the end of „sein” and his face: childish enjoyment while talking about fucked up shit. If this doesn’t perfectly summarize Till then I don’t know what does

Schenider’s smile

No but really beside the screeching parts he sung it so well!

Were they trying to film Richards crotch? Whatever he’s sexy

Another reason why I watch this only once before was me being kind of meh regarding Till’s look he’s my favourite after all I gotta act the part

Los

My fucking god Scheider’s legs! I fucking love thighs. And he has a nice ass too

Richard’s smile!! Don’t kill me

Is it me or does Till start to stare into space and look generally Not Ok (tm)?

„fucking mickey mouse” XDDD

Los is among the last 10 songs on my list I usually just skip it

I died when I saw him with a harmonica the first time

Flake and Olli XD

Don’t manhandle poor Flake (I really want to say I wish that were me but knowing myself I would probably just deck Till in the face XD)

The sunglasses are sick

RZK and Till headbaning<3

Rip (rest in pieces) to keyboard

Du riechts so gut

THE BOW! The cute flamingo pose aside, that bow is one of my favourite pyro effects ever

And then the synchronised bodybanging<3

That „pang” never sounded so good?

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU EVEN MENTIONED THE NECK TILT REESH IS SO SEXY HERE I CAN’T EVEN

The deepest he sings the lees you hear the raspiness

Lord! The whole audience just fucking went for it

Schneider’s muscles, Richard’s little smirk and Till zombie 2.0

Even more bodybanging. Flake is enjoying himself

WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE YOU SO PRETTY?!? (me to Richard)

Flake casually going back to his keyboards uthgjkhfzc that looked so cool and smooth

I promise I still drool over Till just... Richard is so prettily standing there! I cant ignore him!

The firesleeves are so cool and it looks so good, especially with them facing different ways

And freeze! Nice and dramatic

Till hammer time

That one guy really feeling the „DRSG” in the audience XD

Benzine

3 consecutive thought: it is Benzine fuck yeah, I can never tell if it’s Benzine or Keine Lust, Till’s terrified face

The most Rammstein song to ever Rammstein

Paul going wild XD but I still don’t like his hat

Flake is spazzing again

Du hast

Thank god I’m actually enjoying this song now, I skipped it for half a year

The drums and the beginning and the keyboards are <3

The tongue >w<

People are going wild

I like Richard’s dramatic gesturing. Pretty rockstar boy

The chorus sounds so good

Flake what is that on your head? XD is he a One Piece character?

Did he just casually shoved the mic into his pocket? XD

I much more preffer the newest effect from Paris onwards (which is also my top favourite)

Sehnsucht

This song has a very special and unique feel to it probably because it screams Live aus Berlin more than any other (and now I feel like watching LAB again)

It’s the chanting in the background probably

He’s sounding sick again :(

You have muscles in the arms (and probably legs too) and chumby in the belly it’s perfect

Lol @ Paul trying to look scary

„SEHNSUCHT!”

Ok Richard honey you can stop with the sexy neck tilt

He’s slapping the hell out of his guitar

Please stop pulling your hair out

Amerika

@Flake on that thing: wierd flex but ok

Sexy fishnet legs

Wow that’s a really soft and nice opening, pretty unexpected

LOL Flake taking off his hat like „sorry for your loss” but considering the song it’s expected from him XD

Beauatiful eyes<3

He’s just nyooming from one side of the stage to the other? XD

That eyeliner looks so fucking good on Till

Flake is suffering :)) (what the fuck was I talking about I can’t remember now that I’m editing)

Even Richard’s hair looks pretty! What the fuck??

The last scene with Schneider (and then his legs)

Rammstein

Those are some fucking guns he has right there

This is the most badass intrumental intro ever

“Scheeeeeein”

Oooooh so this is where that gif was coming from for some reason it thought it was Engel from MSG. Does this live even has Engel on it?

I love when drummers throw their sticks in the air and then catch them again

Ok the image of Till slowly backing off between Paul and Richard who were both vibing in their own way was really nice

Sonne

Schneider is enjoiying this isn’t he XD

For some reason this song doesn’t seem as energic as it usually is?

Was Till humping the mic stand? (more likely than you’d think)

Seing Flake and Till doing the hammer side by side is really funny, that’s some size difference

Ich will

Bye bye mic stand again

Till baby what did you do with your throat to make your voice sound like that?

Richard looking to the side during „ich will” hhhhhHhh

Let me slap that ass Till

I want to lick your face

Ohne dich

Ollie what are you doing

Asdfhjkl Flake comforting Till and the way he just rests his head on Flake’s shoulder is breaking my heart

Poor baby come here and let me love you

You can clearly see he’s trerrified

Lsnhxkvj his eyes<3

Nawwww they are kissing

I am silently thristing over Till don’t mind me

Please don’t cry T_T and then him looking over his bangs sfdghjkl

„is he... ya know” pose with a hand in the air Heirate mich style (aka Till Lehmann is a sub)

Look I know he’s suffering and all but I really can’t focus on that with all the water dripping off him

Stripped

No wonder I didn’t recognised the song it doensn’t even exist to me XD

Till pointing like „you. drop your panties. now” XD

I had half a mind to skip it but then I would have missed Till’s wonderful tongue performance

Was he flicking it to the rythm??

Hearing him sing in english is always so weird (I only recently rediscovered the gem the Children of the Sun is)

Richard what was that sexy face?

Ollie is braving the human seas, telepathy at its finest XD

Hmm that is a really nice lower back

Gangsta XD „how do you do fellow kids”

Paul is enjoying the show

Schneider has killer looks. Literally XD

YEET

Conclusions:

Half of it went really slow and then the other half went really fast? I don’t understand what happened

So this is the setting for Mit Dir Bin Ich Auch Allein... ok, good to know ;)

You sure this was a good idea 4 songs in and I already wrote 2 pages, now the total is at 6.

I’m not particulary fond of the looks and Till sounds sick so I usually avoid this live. Also some songs are weird with the energy so yeah

Richard is so pretty I can’t (and fucking hot how come I don’t remeber this??)

#rammstein #rammbois #liveblogging #I have a temporal crush on Richard quick I need to read some fics #but no seriously why was he so pretty??#Rena's R+ ramblings

safety | s.p. | part 2

a/n: hi everyone! Part 2 finally done. I do plan on updating this story at least once a week, possibly more if I am able to, so if you would like to be put on a taglist for this fic like and reblog this so I can add you and you wont miss a part J also this is currently set pre season 2, so keep that in mind.

Words: 1.7k

Warnings: brief mention of underage drinking, cussing

Read part 1 here: Part 1

Your name: submit What is this?

***

“love made the danger in you look like safety” –rupi kaur, milk and honey

***

Fangs, Sweet Pea, and Y/N went back into Fangs room to wait until the party started. Y/N carried in her overnight bag and set it next to the door. Sweet Pea eyed it suspiciously, wondering if Y/N and Fangs were more than just best friends, as they claimed to be. He definitely hoped not.

“So,” Y/N began, standing next to the door with her arms crossed as she looked at the two boys. “Tell me everything I need to know about the cliché town of Riverdale.” She said dramatically.

“Well, obviously you’re gonna be sticking with us and the rest of the Serpents.” Fangs told her, glancing at Sweet Pea. “We’ll take care of you and that way you won’t have anything to worry about, really.”

Sweet Pea nodded in agreeance with his friend. “The Southside stays pretty chill, unless there’s some shit going on between us and the Ghoulies.”

“The Ghoulies?” Y/N asked, a playful smile on her face.

“Yeah, that’s the rival gang here. They’re pretty nasty, and are deep into drug dealing so don’t get involved.” Fangs said, a look of distaste on his face.

“And what about school?” Y/N asked again, sitting on the bed with the two boys.

“Its trash,” Sweet Pea replied, rolling his eyes. “Don’t expect anything. The teachers don’t give a shit and neither do most of the students.” Y/N nodded in response, turning to look at him. She gave him a small smile, which he returned, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

The three of them sat in Fangs’ bed talking, laughing, and telling stories. As they sat there happily Sweet Pea couldn’t help but steal a great number of glances at Y/N, her smile made him smile and feel warm inside. The way that this girl was making him feel after such an insanely short amount of time scared him, especially because he had no idea what she was thinking about him. He desperately hoped it was something good. Sweet Pea wasn’t the best with girls, despite what people may think. Sure, he flirted occasionally with girls at the Wyrm, and he definitely wasn’t a virgin, but he wasn’t the player everyone thought he was. Maybe it was because he was afraid of change and not the best when meeting new people, but he had definitely never had a girlfriend. As Sweet Pea looked at the gorgeous girl sitting in front of him with her legs crossed and her hand on Fangs’ shoulder as she laughed at something stupid he had just said, he felt a little hopeless. Y/N seemed perfect, and Sweet Pea definitely wasn’t. Not that it even mattered, they had only just met an hour ago, and for all he knew she could have a boyfriend back in Greendale.

Sweet Pea sighed, getting off the bed. “I’m gonna go to the bathroom.” He told Y/N and Fangs as he walked out of the room.

Fangs looked at Y/N with a knowing smile.

“What?” She asked, moving her head back because of the sly smile on his face.

“He likes you.” Fangs said simply and with a smirk.

“What do you mean?” Y/N asked, scrunching her eyebrows together, not understanding what he was implying.

“You didn’t see the way he looked at you in the living room when I introduced you guys?”

“Um, no?” Y/N laughed, her tone unsure.

“He fell in love with you right out there.”

“Fangs, what the fuck are you talking about? No, he didn’t. You’re just messing with me because you know I think he’s sexy as hell.” Y/N laughed.

“Okay, first of all, ew. Second of all, yes. I know SP better than anyone else.”

Y/N rolled her eyes. “Whatever, Fangs. I don’t believe you.”

“You’ll seeeeeeeee” Fangs said, poking her arm.

***

It was a few hours later and the annual Fogarty Christmas party was in full swing. Toni had arrived, and she and Y/N clicked immediately. Fangs had spent the majority of the party taking his friend around and introducing her to his friends and family that she hadn’t met yet. Eventually, though, he left her with his Dad, and Y/N and Paul caught up, talking mainly about her family’s upcoming move to the Southside.

On the other side of the room, Fangs, Sweet Pea, and Toni stood in a corner with Red Solo cups in their hand.

“So, you guys love her, right?” Fangs anxiously asked his friends what they thought about Y/N. He had been dying to know what they thought of her since she arrived, and now that the three of them were alone it was the perfect opportunity.

“Duh, Fangs. She’s like you, but just with a vagina.” Toni laughed, glancing over at her new friend across the room. “She’s gonna fit in just fine around here, I think.”

“Thank God,” Fangs began, a sigh of relief falling from his mouth. “I was so worried you guys wouldn’t like her, and if that happened I don’t know what I would do.”

“What do you think of her, Sweets?” Toni asked, craning her neck to look up at the tall, dark haired Serpent with her eyebrow raised.

He hesitated for a minute, not knowing if he should tell his best friends that he was already majorly crushing on Y/N or if he should keep it to himself. His hesitation brought forth a series of snickers from his two friends, who both failed in trying to mask them by taking a sip of the alcoholic drinks they harbored in their cups. Sweet Pea rolled his eyes, getting somewhat defensive at their teasing nature.

“It’s okay if you like her.” Toni said, a small smile on her lips as she reached out and touched Sweet Pea’s leather clad arm.

“Who ever said anything about liking her?” Sweet Pea snapped back at her, a look of annoyance gracing his face. “I just met her like a few hours ago, so I don’t know why the fuck you guys are coming at me like I’m about to drop on one knee and marry the girl.”

“Okay, dude,” Fangs said, holding his hands up in surrender. “We were just messing with you. No need to get all hostile.”

Sweet Pea rolled his eyes, obviously he would not be telling anyone about his building feelings for Y/N, as his friends were too immature to take him seriously and not embarrass him. “Whatever, I’m going outside for a smoke.” He said, and stomped away.

“Yikes,” Toni said to Fangs.

“I mean,” Fangs began in response, “Obviously he likes her, or he wouldn’t have just acted like that.”

“I know, but you know how he is, especially with girls and shit.” The pink haired girl replied with a shrug. Fangs was quiet, sipping on his drink thoughtfully. “You think they’d be good together?” Toni asked again after a moment of silence.

Fangs looked at her. “Honestly, I’m not sure. They could either be really bad for each other or really good.”

“I suppose only time will tell.” Toni said before downing the rest of her drink. “Wanna go chill in your room?” She asked him as she tossed her cup into the trash can nearby.

Fangs nodded and the two of them weaved through the crowd of people until they finally made it into Fangs’ room.

***

Y/N had been talking to Fangs’ dad for quite some time now, and even though she loved Paul, she desperately wanted to go hang out with her new friends. She had noticed Sweet Pea walk out the front door a little while ago and just assumed that Toni and Fangs would be with him, so after excusing herself from Paul, she went in search of the trio. As she stepped outside, she took a deep breath, her lungs thanking her for the fresh air. She turned and looked to her left, only to be met with a sulky looking Sweet Pea with a cigarette hanging from his lips. She approached him slowly, shoving her hands in her pockets.

“Hey, I was wondering where you guys all went.” She said, a happy tone in her voice.

He looked over at her, taking a long drag from the cigarette in his mouth. “What are you talking about?” He said gruffly.

Y/N was taken aback slightly at his tone, since he had been so sweet to her up until this point. “Oh,” She started sheepishly. “I just thought Fangs and Toni were with you.”

He shook his head, “Don’t know where they are.”

Y/N looked at him for a minute before responding, “Are you okay?”

He immediately looked up at her with narrowed eyes, surprised at her question. Based on the way he was looking at her, Y/N immediately regretted prying.

“Sorry, I-I didn’t mean to pry.” She said nervously, taking a step back. “I’ll leave you alone now.”

Before she could turn around to leave, Sweet Pea grabbed her hand. Y/N looked up at his dark brown eyes, waiting for him to say something.

“I’m not okay.” He said lowly, dropping his cigarette and squishing it with his boot.

“Why?” Y/N replied breathlessly, the intense and unreadable look he was giving her making her palms sweat.

Sweet Pea didn’t respond instantly, instead he stared at this gorgeous girl in front of him, completely mesmerized by her.

“Sweet Pea?” Y/N asked again, drawing him out of his daze.

“I’m not okay because I just met you, but you’re making me feel a type of way I’ve never felt before. It’s fucking terrifying, but I don’t want the feeling to go away.” He said barely above a whisper, his eyes not meeting hers.

Y/N was surprised, thinking back to what Fangs had told her earlier. She didn’t know what to say, so she just blurted out the first thing that came to her mind. “Why does the way I make you feel scare you?” She asked, taking a step closer to the tall boy, their bodies touching now.

“Because I’ve known you for less than 12 hours, and I already know that I would fucking die for you, Y/N.”

His words made her suck in a breath, and she stared deeply into his eyes, relishing in the intimate moment they were sharing. She didn’t know how to express the feelings she was now drowning in, so she did the only thing she felt was right in the moment.

She kissed him.

What do you think about the Christian Bible and verses like Romans 1:26-27? “That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.”

Well I have a particularly... strained relationship with all of the Epistles because they were written by Paul who I think might be the historical person for which I personally hold the most disdain and animosity. See, I consider that he alone is responsible for the better part of misogyny and homophobia that gets propagated by the Church because it’s his writing in Timothy 2: 10-1 (”I suffer not a woman to speak but to be in silence, etc...”) and his writing in Romans (reference to the verse you pointed out) that get quoted almost constantly by misogynists and homophobes. But my personal vendetta with Paul’s wrong opinion (and also the inconsistencies between the New Testament and Old Testament with regards to sexuality) aside, let’s deconstruct the actual verses that you’ve pointed out, because while they’re a brazenly homophobic they also include an ambiguity which a medieval understanding of sex (which stems from a late antique understanding of sex and is derived from readings of scripture, namely, Paul) will help make sense of--and yes, it must be a medieval understanding because that is much closer to an accurate representation of what was going on in late antiquity than our modern ideas of sex, which, it needs to be pointed out, derive from a severely demented form of a medieval Catholic understanding of sex, by which I mean, of course, a Victorian/protestant understanding of sex which is actually much less forgiving, much more harmful, and significantly more homophobic.

So let’s consider the phrase “the natural way to have sex”, or “ contra naturam” in the Latin. We must understand the complex implications of this phrase because actually the “natural way to have sex” was extremely specific in Christian theology and also applies restrictions to straight copulation as well. And of course, the “natural way to have sex” is penis and vagina (so, absolutely no oral, even for straight people, because that’s sodomy), AND it’s also strictly missionary position (so if the lady gets on top, hey, that’s also ‘unnatural’ and sodomitic)--why? because this is the only way to get a lady pregnant which, according to Augustine, drawn from scriptural readings, is the only appropriate reason to be having sex at all. Now I’m not an antique scholar so I don’t know an excessive amount about sexual culture in late antiquity, but the primary and secondary sources I draw from include and study the works of St Augustine, St Jerome, Origen, etc. as pertains to this matter specifically (ie: sexuality). So, solidly late antiquity. But also as far as I understand, the Greeks (antiquity) and probably also the Romans (antiquity-late antiquity) (also, pagans, and yes this is important) engaged in homosexual activity. So we really, really need to understand that “the natural sex act” being penis-in-vagina-missionary-style is a specifically Christian phenomenon (which, like, congratulations, the most brutally vain of all the gods has decided there is literally one way to have sex and everything else is a sin? who is going to obey that? oh, right, no one--and yes there’s proof of this). Essentially, from this study of the wording, we can understand that Paul took the broad concept of “natural sex” and then described only some of the many “unnatrual sex acts” in order to to wield the concept for a homophobic purpose, which actually just makes him a bigoted man who used the strength of auctoritas and a powerful institution to propagate his wrong ass opinion.

Side note: I think it’s wildly hilarious that the English translation says “even women”, as though it’s a shock that a woman wouldn’t rather have sex with a woman than a man. The Latin doesn’t actually do this (”nam feminae”, and nam actually means “for”), and so this obscenely hilarious (because its disgustingly obvious to anyone who doesn’t take the Bible at face value) and subtle denial of lesbian attraction is purely an invention on the part of the translator, which actually tells us more about what the translator’s ethos is on the subject than God’s.

So to sum up, what I think of Romans 1:26-27 is that it was both written and translated by men (most probably; I don’t know what translation you’re using, but assuming it’s done by a man is probably a safe bet) with absolutely homophobic intentions who twist the Word of God (such as it is...) in order to foster an institution of oppression.

Edit: I realised that I didn’t answer my opinion on the Bible in general because I was so busy deconstructing Paul. I enjoy reading the bible as an anthology of fictional stories. It’s extremely entertaining. But as a cohesive work... well, it’s not a cohesive work. It’s paradoxes within paradoxes. The Old and the New Testament contradict each other completely. Not only that but later sections of the New Testament contradict earlier sections of the New Testament. I think that as a moral guide it’s extremely problematic, not only because it’s very metaphorical and people really shouldn’t be left to interpret it on their own, but also because its morals are literally 2020 years outdated at least and that’s... unacceptable. So yea, I get really frustrated with the Bible. It’s not a good moral compass for the average citizen. It’s a fascinating literary study.

Actress Files Sexual Battery Suit Against Harvey Weinstein

New Post has been published on http://usnewsaggregator.com/actress-files-sexual-battery-suit-against-harvey-weinstein/

Actress Files Sexual Battery Suit Against Harvey Weinstein

LOS ANGELES — An unnamed actress has sued Harvey Weinstein alleging he committed sexual battery against her in Beverly Hills hotel rooms in 2015 and 2016 after she agreed to meet the producer to discuss a television role.

The actress is identified only as Jane Doe in the sexual battery lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. It alleges that Weinstein held the woman against her will while Weinstein engaged in sexual situations.

The suit says the woman first met Weinstein in 2011 at a party and he offered to assist her with her acting career. For several years, Weinstein invited the woman to awards show parties.

Weinstein allegedly met her at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills in late 2015 to discuss a part in the television series “Marco Polo,” which Weinstein and his company were producing. The producer asked her if he could masturbate in front of her, and when she refused, he held her by the wrist and forced her to watch him, the lawsuit said.

The next incident happened several months later at the same hotel, according to the lawsuit. The woman agreed to meet Weinstein to discuss the “Marco Polo” role again, and this time alleges Weinstein threw her on a bed, started performing oral sex on her and put his penis inside her vagina before starting to start masturbate on her, the lawsuit states.

The woman was able to break free and flee the room, the suit said.

“Any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein,” the producer’s representative Holly Baird wrote in a statement. “Mr. Weinstein obviously can’t speak to anonymous allegations, but with respect to any women who have made allegations on the record, Mr. Weinstein believes that all of these relationships were consensual.”

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages. It also names The Weinstein Co., which fired its co-founder after decades of allegations of sexual harassment were detailed in an expose by The New York Times last month.

The Weinstein Co. did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

The lawsuit alleges the company knew of Weinstein’s sexual harassment and abuse behavior, and showed “deliberate indifference” to prevent his actions.

The lawsuit was filed by Gloria Allred, who did not immediately return a message seeking additional details about the case.

Beverly Hills police have said they are investigating allegations against Weinstein, but have released few details. Authorities in Los Angeles, New York and London are also investigating Weinstein for possible criminal prosecution.

The harassment and abuse allegations against Weinstein have created led to numerous women coming forward with allegations of harassment and abuse against powerful men, including actor Kevin Spacey, numerous entertainment industry executives and politicians in the United States and abroad.

The scandal in Hollywood has prompted Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey to establish a task force to handle any forthcoming criminal complaints. The advocacy group Women in Film also plans to make a help line and panel of pro-bono legal experts available beginning next month to provide counseling, referrals and legal advice to harassment victims

Also on Tuesday, the independent theater Cinefamily in Los Angeles announced it was shutting down due to crippling debt after conducting a review of sexual harassment allegations against two of its leaders. The theater had numerous celebrity fans and supporters, was rocked by sexual harassment allegations against its executive director and a board member in August.

The board suspended the theater’s activities and hired an independent firm to investigate the allegations.

The board says that no victims corroborated rape claims, but the investigation did uncover serious concerns and breaches of acceptable behavior.

Cinefamily had many celebrity supporters and fans including Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, Brie Larson, Jon Favreau, Sting and James L. Brooks.

NBC News announced Tuesday it fired Matt Zimmerman, its top talent booker, for “inappropriate conduct” with more than one woman at the network.

Zimmerman used to be in charge of arranging guests for the “Today” show but in 2014 was promoted to vice president and led the behind-the-scenes unit responsible for such bookings at all NBC News programs.

The network didn’t give any details Tuesday about Zimmerman’s behavior, only that he violated company policy. The network acted in response to internal complaints.

Messages sent to Zimmerman were not returned Tuesday.

NBC recently fired political contributor Mark Halperin, who had been accused of sexual harassment by several women dating to when he worked at ABC News more than a decade ago.

Associated Press Writers David Bauder in New York and Sandy Cohen and Lindsey Bahr in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Happy Sunday bookworms!

Did everyone have a good weekend? I had a lovely weekend full of watching the U.S. Open & football, my kids’ sporting events, bonfires, charity dance events, and pickle ball. The weather cooled off this week, and things were finally starting to feel like Fall. Unfortunately summer is going to come back with a vengeance this week with temperatures returning to 90°F.

*Bookish Weekly Wrap-Up is a weekly post where I feature what posts were published on the blog for the past week, any bookish/blog happenings, what I recently finished reading, what I am currently reading, what I will be reading next, noteworthy posts around the bookish blogisphere, and any interesting bookish articles I came across.

» Butterfly Yellow by Thanhha Lai

Genre: Historical Fiction

Release Date: September 3, 2019

In the final days of the Việt Nam War, Hằng takes her little brother, Linh, to the airport, determined to find a way to safety in America. In a split second, Linh is ripped from her arms—and Hằng is left behind in the war-torn country.

Six years later, Hằng has made the brutal journey from Việt Nam and is now in Texas as a refugee. She doesn’t know how she will find the little brother who was taken from her until she meets LeeRoy, a city boy with big rodeo dreams, who decides to help her.

Hằng is overjoyed when she reunites with Linh. But when she realizes he doesn’t remember her, their family, or Việt Nam, her heart is crushed. Though the distance between them feels greater than ever, Hằng has come so far that she will do anything to bridge the gap.

» Tunnel of Bones (Cassidy Blake #2) by Victoria Schwab

Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy > Paranormal

Release date: September 3, 2019

Trouble is haunting Cassidy Blake . . . even more than usual.

She (plus her ghost best friend, Jacob, of course) are in Paris, where Cass’s parents are filming their TV show about the world’s most haunted cities. Sure, it’s fun eating croissants and seeing the Eiffel Tower, but there’s true ghostly danger lurking beneath Paris, in the creepy underground Catacombs.

When Cass accidentally awakens a frighteningly strong spirit, she must rely on her still-growing skills as a ghosthunter — and turn to friends both old and new to help her unravel a mystery. But time is running out, and the spirit is only growing stronger.

And if Cass fails, the force she’s unleashed could haunt the city forever.

» Book Girl: A Journey Through the Treasures and Transforming Power of a Reading Life by Sarah Clarkson

*3.5 Stars*

I loved learning about Sarah’s journey & her connection to books. I think Sarah has excellent reading tastes, and will probably borrow the physical copy from the library to copy down all the reading recommendation lists. I gave it 3.5 stars because it was too heavily focused on religion & faith for my tastes.

» Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Gods of Jade and Shadow was one of my most anticipated books of 2019, but it came up a bit short for me. The story felt like a fairy tale filled with Mexican folklore, which I loved, but the book felt very surface level.

» The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

*4.5 Stars*

Set in the harsh wild of Alaska in the 70s, The Great Alone was an excellent survival type of story – in more ways than one. While reading I thought Hannah was going to go the cliche route a few times, but she kept on surprising me.

» The Dragon Republic (The Poppy War #2) by R.F. Kuang

The Dragon Republic was an excellent follow up to The Poppy War. The political intrigue in this book is engrossing.

» The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia #5) by C.S. Lewis

This has been my least favorite book in the series thus far, but still a very enjoyable read. There is something so nostalgic about this series, which doesn’t exactly make sense since it is my first time reading these books… If I had to rank the series thus far, it would be 1) Chronicles of Narnia, 2) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 3) The Silver Chair, 4) Prince Caspian, and 5) The Horse and His Boy.

What Am I Reading Next?:

» Wintersmith (Tiffany Aching #3) by Terry Pratchett

Tiffany Aching is a trainee witch — now working for the seriously scary Miss Treason. But when Tiffany witnesses the Dark Dance — the crossover from summer to winter — she does what no one has ever done before and leaps into the dance. Into the oldest story there ever is. And draws the attention of the Wintersmith himself.

As Tiffany-shaped snowflakes hammer down on the land, can Tiffany deal with the consequences of her actions? Even with the help of Granny Weatherwax and the Nac Mac Feegle — the fightin’, thievin’ pictsies who are prepared to lay down their lives for their “big wee hag.”

Wintersmith is the third title in an exuberant series crackling with energy and humour. It follows The Wee Free Men and Hat Full of Sky.

» Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson

For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris—Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut.

Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives—the ones we’d like to pretend never happened—are in fact the ones that define us. In the #1 New York Times bestseller, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor. Chapters include: “Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel”; “A Series of Angry Post-It Notes to My Husband”; “My Vagina Is Fine. Thanks for Asking”; “And Then I Snuck a Dead Cuban Alligator on an Airplane.” Pictures with captions (no one would believe these things without proof) accompany the text.

Amanda Seyfried

During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Seyfried explained the meaning behind her foot tattoo, which says “minge.”

“It’s a term of endearment and in England it means vagina but in the U.S., where I spend most of my time, it doesn’t mean anything,” she said. “We commemorated our friendship with ‘minge’ tattoos.”
