Agatha harknes

ɪɴsɪᴅᴇ ᴏғ ᴡᴇsᴛᴠɪᴇᴡ

You wake from your slumber still tried from last night events. You close your eye for a minute it's so silent so silent there no sound from tv or the sound harry Or kids your eye shoot open and jump out bed.

"Alex??? “ you welcomed with a silence.

" boys ???? where are you??? "

"Alex "

"MOM..... MOM??? " At your kids scream you run out of the house. There scream come from the neighbors house. You blast open the door and enter the house.

"MOM..... MOM " You run towards where the your kids scream coming you reach a basement door with purple vines and light coming.

"boys ?? " You meet with a chilling silence.

You enter the basement it's looked like a sacred place with ancient weird symbols on the wall you look around frantically for your kids.

"Y/n, y/n . You didn't think you were the only girl with magic in this town " You startled at the new voice. Your eyes wide at women who stand in front you. "The names Agatha Harkness. It's nice it finally meet you without getting tossed away "

You stand there shocked to your core . You seen this women throughout your life. She was there whenever you're life fall apart she was the cause of it.

"She does look shocked to meet the real us doesn't she " Agatha chuckle at the rabbit in her arms. You try to get inside her head using your power.

"That's adorable my thoughts are not available to you toots they never will. So don't give yourself a migraine. We have some work to do "

"Where are my children ? “ you eyes darkening per minute. She chuckle at you. You try to use your magic But nothing happens Agatha set the rabbit down and binds your hands behind your back and legs with her magic. You powerless now and she hover you in the air and walk around the basement.

"Didn't you notice " She points to the wall which had symbols on it " Basic protection spell, one in each wall no? Nothing? " Agatha roll her eyes at your lack of knowledge in witchcraft.

You grunt and struggle against the magic restrictions. "These are runnes, y/n. In a given space only a witch that cast the runnes can use her magic. How do you not know the fundamental. Who are you. Who are you?. "

She rants about you as she hover you in the air, middle of the basement room. You continue to get our her hold but fail miserably.

"Oh, y/n when I sensed this place the after glow of so many spells cast all at once. I couldn't make heads or tails of it " She stop by the table and flipping through a spell book "mind control. A classic. Quick incantation and a feeble psyche and your good to go " You turn your head away from her but she grab your chin making you look at her " With thousands of people under your tumb all interacting with each other according to complex storyline ,well that's something special and of course there is transmutation years of study to achieve even the smallest convincing illusion but Westview through your lens " Agatha turn a spider on the wall to a bird " Every little detail in place. You even running illusion milles away at the edge of the town. Magic on auto pilot what is your secret sister? ".

" I didn't.... I ... Don't " You couldn't even comprehend what she was saying. You don't where is your husband and how is your childrens.

"Just recap everything from your childhood, kidnapped, scarified but Rebirthed parents dead, brother dead only lover had dead . You know you could have saved all of them " Agatha fake sympathize you but her words make you question your whole existence.

" What???.... I... Try.... I tried.... I tried.... I couldn't..."tears freely fall

" Yes y/n . You could have save them they would be alive if you were smart enough "

Images of your parents and jack and Alex came into your mind the pain and helplessness was bearable but the disappointed look crushed you. Maybe Agatha is right you could have saved them it's all your fault "I wanted.. to... I couldn't, im sorry "

"And now your childrens ,You forget I have your children " Agatha remind you. Suddenly your in your living room.

"Mom.... Help... Mom help us " You run out house to the streets. Agatha float in the air. Magic restrainings in her hands that connected Your children's neck.

"I know what you are " Agatha call out. Your childrens struggle to get out of the tight grip, tugging helplessly. "It's okey boys It's going to okey " You look into there eyes try to clam the down. You look up to Agatha eyes murderous looking

"You have know idea how dangerous you are y/n. You're supposed be a myth , a being capable of spontaneous creation and here you are using it make breakfast and dinner"

"Let go of my children " You said through gritted teeth. Eyes and boby filling up with range.

" Oh.. Yes, your childrens and Alex. The whole little life you are made in this chaos magic y/n " Agatha stare at you with power hungry eyes.

"And that's make you the scarlet witch "

"My powers work out here. You know that right. " You remarks

"But mom we can help ".they both plead you simultaneously.

" boys listen to me you be with your father. " You make the turn into other direction. "Now go".

Cas teleport everyone into the hex without any harm. They all stand in front of a pet store and alex walkout of the store with a cat in his hand.

Seeing bunch of people making their way towards him alex shoot them a confused look. "Can i help you with anything? ".

" Yeah your little wife.. "

"Dean " Sam yell at his brother before turning into Alex's with a apologetic smile. " Alex we have to tell you something and you have to patiently listen to us "

Alex who now glaring at dean glance at sam "well it's up to me where there i should I listen whatever you have to say and now I don't planning to do that " He walk past them , sam glare at dean for messing up before they can talk.

Kol speed in front of Alex making him jump back. " You are going to listen mate and your going to stay " Alex glare at kol before things can turn into a mess bonnie interfere.

" Alex you need to listen to us please " At Bonnie's desperate voice Alex let out a sign.

"You can't go along with this alex it's not fair to the people she can't control them " Sam try to reason with him

" Witches created to balance the nature her she is using to hurt people it's not acceptable " Elijah who was silent the whole time speaks

"it's not wrong .what wrong and unfair is ,what happened to us, is that right ? No ?. I deserved to live happily with her .we deserve to live happily but they took everything from me, from her. Where was the moral when they took everything from us . If you were so righteous where were you when she was being hunted ??where were you when they kill me and her brother her family right in front of you??? Why didn't no one helped us when we needed saving .we deserve to have this you can't say otherwise." at alex confession they stood silent knowing what happened to them indeed unfair .

Bone Dry Cappuccino (Mark McSteamy Sloan x Reader)

A/N I started Grey’s a week ago and now I’m on Season 4 and obsessed so

this is drabble and it’s not even good I just had to put it down but maybe I’ll write part 2?

Summary: You work at the cafeteria and one of your customers loves your bone-dry cappuccino

Add yourself to my taglist!

Masterlist

Word Count: 924

Warnings: None

You turn around to see one of your favourite customers waiting in line.

“Dr. Karev,” you smile. “What can I get you?”

“Uh, a bone-dry cappuccino, please Y/N.”

You frown at the unfamiliar request. “Trying something new?” you ask as you prepare a disposable cup and press the espresso button on the machine, pull the lever and as it pours the coffee into the cup you froth up some milk.

He chuckles, “no it’s for my new boss… what a drama queen he’s some hot shot in New York.”

“Oh? What’s his service?”

“Plastics. So I gotta suck up to ‘im.”

You plop the foam into the cup until it’s full and put a lid on top, turning to face Dr. Karev. “Here you are.”

“So uh… what the hell is a bone-dry cappuccino anyway?” he places a $5 note on the counter.

“Little bit of coffee and milk and whole lotta air,” you shrug, putting the note into the cash register.

“Thank you, Y/N.”

You smile as he walks away and you address the next customer.

“Usual, Dr. Karev?” you ask as he approaches your counter.

“For me? No, for the hot shot? Yes please,” he grumbles.

You laugh as you start to make the bone-dry cappuccino.

“Why is a drink $5 anyway? It’s mostly air in there, you said it yourself,” he rambles.

“What did he do now?” you humour him as you allow him to vent to you.

The intern scoffs, “the guy’s got me on sutures. That’s grunt work. I’m not a grunt. He won’t let me scrub in for surgery and he’s got me in the pit. Can you believe that?”

“Why don’t you just go back to Dr. Montgomery-Sherpherd?”

“It’s just Montgomery now. And I don’t wanna be in with the gynies and the peds. I wanna go into plastics.”

You cover up the cup with a lid and hand it to him. “Chin up,” you say encouragingly as he pays.

“See ya,” he mumbles walking away.

You sit at a table on your break trying to study for your psych exam as you hear Alex at the counter ordering… surprise, surprise a bone-dry cappuccino.

“You on break?” he asks you from across the cafeteria.

“No, I’m getting paid to sit here and look pretty,” you smirk.

He rolls his eyes. “You know you lose points when you know you’re attractive right?”

“Oh? Who says?” you raise a brow. “A man?”

“I’m gonna… shut up now.” He’s handed the drink by the barista on shift and waves goodbye to you.

You get back to studying for your test but are interrupted. You look up and see Alex meeting your gaze.

“Can I help you Dr. Karev?”

“You gotta make a bone-dry cappuccino.”

You frown and close your textbook. “What?”

“You gotta make a bone-dry cappuccino,” he repeats.

“You just came down for one?”

“Okay well my boss is psycho apparently and he could tell it wasn’t you who made it.”

“Karev, I have an exam to study for.”

“Y/N, I’m asking you nicely. Please. He’s doing a leg reattachment this afternoon and I gotta scrub in for that. I’m goin’ through withdrawl. Please make him that stupid cappuccino.”

“This is crazy,” you say in agreement as he pulls you up by the arm and leads you to the counter.

You make the drink with an apologetic look to your coworker, hoping they don’t feel insulted but from the looks of their face they really didn’t care.

Karev is bouncing up and down in anticipation as you place the cup on the counter. You wrap up a lemon loaf slice and place it on the counter too. “Here, so he doesn’t get pissed at you.”

“You’re an angel.” He takes the food and rushes to the elevators as you chuckle, going back to studying before your break ended.

Closing time approached so you lock up the register and collect any pastries and cakes that weren’t bought to give away to the local shelters since they were no good to sell the next day anyway. You wipe down all the tables and turn over the chairs so that the janitors could get to the floors once they came in early the next morning.

“Hey, need some help?” you look up and see Alex with a grin on his face.

“Did you get to scrub in?”

“Yeah, thanks. That loaf slice really won him over,” he says as he turns some more chairs.

“That’s good. You owe me $7.”

“Wow –“

“Oh, did you think that was free?” you tease.

“How was your studying?”

“Got through most of it, just wanna forget all about it now.”

He looked like he was going to say something but someone shouts his name.

“Karev, who do we have here?” A man who rivals McDreamy’s hotness walks up to you both in a leather jacket and a smirk.

Alex clears his throat, “Dr. Sloan this is Y/N, Y/N this is my boss.”

You smile and nod. “Nice to meet you Mr bone-dry cappuccino.”

You shake his outstretched hand. “Call me Mark. So you’re the one that makes the mean cup of coffee. Missed you today, Karev brought me something that tasted like dirt at first.”

“Well coffee making is an art. Not a lot of people understand and have the finesse for it,” you play along.

“I was gonna go get a drink at the bar across the street… unwind a little. Care to join?”

You look up at Alex who just smiles at you.

“Sure.”

Tag 1820 / Das Genesene der Krankschreibung hat zwei Wochen gehalten

Eigentlich ist alles klar. Ich möchte Kinder, Hochzeit, Heimarbeit. Teilzeit, zwei bis drei Tage die Woche. Das traditionelle Familienmodell. Basteln, Nähen, Malen, Bloggen, meine Ideen umsetzen. So wie 2019 mit den Karten.

Zwei Wochen und ein Tag. Überlegt, mich wieder krankmelden zu müssen. Nicht fähig zur Teilhabe an dem Arbeitsleben dort. Anfang Januar dem DRV-Mann noch gesagt: Gehe an Krückstock, immer noch.

Gedanke Freitagabend: Ohne medikamentöse Hilfe bin ich den anderen gegenüber im Nachteil, brauche diese kleine Unterstützung, soooo geht es nicht weiter.

Gute Arbeit, guter Inhalt. Zu schade zum Verlieren. Lithium Sertralin Es darf mir nicht alles so schwer fallen. Ich ärgere mich den ganzen Tag über alles. Über meine Langsamkeit. Über Fussel. Darüber, dass ich weniger kann. Dass es schon so spät ist. Dass er mich angerempelt hat. Ärger macht krank, zerfrisst das Herz. Viel gefährlicher als Coronavirus.

Auf der anderen Seite erkenne ich jetzt ohne Tablette: Ich möchte jemanden, der Hebräisch und Arabisch spricht. Jemanden, der auch künstlerisch tätig ist, aber nicht so Trivialkunst wie die dieses Konzertagenturtyps, nicht so monothematisch wie der Maimann.

Ich würde nicht vier Monate mit Sodbrennen rumlaufen, nicht vier Monate mit Halsschmerzen. Aber die Seele, aber die Psyche.

Es geht jetzt nicht mehr ohne.

Reinald nimmt auch was. Damit er arbeiten kann. Damit er Rente kriegt. Damit er teilhat am Leben.

Zwei Männer kommen auf mich zu nach dem Meeting. An erster Stelle müsse die Trockenheit stehen. Darf mir nicht verrutschen. Darf nicht denken: Ach, ja, vielleicht hilft mit diese Art von Yoga. Ich habe die Lösung schon! Aber es ist so viel Arbeit in meinem Kopf. Ich denke an die Schilder, die ich Dienstag verteilen werde, ich denke an das teure Hotel, ich denke viel an Arbeit.

Ich bin zu leicht zu irritieren, aus der Bahn zu werfen.

Wenn Arbeit Trockenheit gefährdet, Arbeit sein lassen.

Und der zweite Mann, dass ich eine Reha machen könnte, sechs Wochen, mit anderen reden, lachen.

Gil doch noch in love, mit seiner Frau zusammen, als Paar agierend. Der Jordis verheiratet, auch drei Kinder, drei Kinder, so wie ich sie will.

Kopfschmerzen jetzt.

Meine Fotos. Ich mache zum Ausgleich was mit meinen Fotos. Ich gehe viel in Ausstellungen.

Im April, Mai, Juni dacht ich noch: Ich hab alles, was ich brauche, ich bin reich. Jetzt totales Defizitgefühl. Minderwert. Isoliert, einsam. Keiner versteht mich. Ich werde später nur mit Betreuern und Pflegern zu tun haben und meinen Haustieren und AA. Mehr nicht. Negative Zukunftsvisionen.

Ich brauche Medikamente. Es geht nicht mehr ohne.

Wie Dean das sagte: Dann hatte er trocken wieder sein Leben in der Hand, konnte es gestalten. Ich denke, ich habe es nicht mehr in der Hand. Ich schleppe mich zur Arbeit. Arbeit hat mich in der Hand. Ich diene dem falschen Herrn, dem falschen Anspruch. Ich will jemand sein, der ich nicht bin.

Alex Ebert Her love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENsRhTngyQk

R again! I’m on the east coast! I stayed up until midnight to isten and until like 2am to fangirl. Bless coffee. I love YNTCD, I can’t lie. It feels like a spiritual sequel to Shake it Off and I love it so much. I pretty much expected her to keep the first two singles very pop heavy because that’s what gets good radio play, especially in the summer. It’s what she did with Red which still gave us intense tracks like All Too Well and SBT. (1/?)

I was hoping for no new diss tracks as they aren’t normally my faves but I love this one. I think season four is the best Supergirl season yet. I absolutely loved Lex and all he brought to the table. I just wish they had seeded him earlier, to me 4a was a little lack luster. Manchester Black and Agent Liberty were both slightly off the mark for me. I love Kelly but I do wish they had either drawn out the ‘getting together’ stage or maybe just done it differently. (2/5)

I hated that isolated adoption sub plot and would rather us have got Kelly actually involved in the main plot and kicking ass. Lena Luthor is my baby and I’m terrified they’ll make her evil. That said I am excited to see a slightly more unhinged morally grey Lena, especially if she gets to work with Evil Brainy! But she needs to be good again so that she can got meet all the superfriends on earth one in crisis. (3/5)

I think Tony has been one of the most consistent characters in the MCU and while there was some slight power creep I think that can be expected in a character that has been around for 10 years. Scarlet Witch is getting a tv show on Disney+ in November and I am thrilled. Vision is going to be in it and I can’t wait to see the time line of it. (4/5)

The Rep tour was actually my first concert, I was 21 but my mom had a strict no concerts rule so it was amazing to finally see her live. One of the best nights of my life. I’m hoping I can go again for Lover. Honestly my favorite lyric changes all the time but ‘I’d like to be my old self again but I’m still trying to find it’ ‘These are the hands of fate, your my Achilles heel’ and ‘Magic Madness Heaven Sin’ have all been ones I’ve considered as tattoo ideas. These just keep getting longer lol.

Well, I’m listening to it a lot because I want it to grow on me! I want to like it so badly, I’m gonna keep trying. Hopefully I come around!

& yeah, I would have liked if we could have seen more of kelly interacting with the whole crew (she’s military, so they could have feasibly brought her in!) and i wish they’d brought her into the season earlier so she and alex could have had a more drawn-out arc, but i’m just so excited they’re finally giving alex a new love interest! for a minute there i thought they’d just forgotten about her personal life entirely. we were spending way more time on jonn’s PI business than alex and i didn’t really get that. but i loved the season in general! i wish we could have kept russian kara around for a little while too, she was really growing on me. and i dont think lena will go all the way evil! it would be too ooc for her, especially after JUST defeating lex. there will obviously be some conflict but i would hatehatehate if they made her the Big Bad because i love her and i need her to be a proper part of the supercrew now that she finally knows!!!

i guess my issue with tony is that i feel like they brought in the anxiety/ptsd storyline which i really loved and then i felt like they just kind of dropped it and had him go back to being suave tony stark, and i was really into seeing his more vulnerable side. i didnt know scarlet witch was getting a show!!! that’s super exciting news!!! there’s so many superhero shows now i feel like i can’t keep track. i think jessica jones season three is about to come out which im psyched for!

thats wild that rep was your first ever concert! but also probably an amazing one to see first (although now nothing else you go to will live up!). have you been to any others since? who are your other fav artists? & okay, ive been thinking about favorite lines and i still dont have one concrete one! but i love love “we learn to live with the pain/mosaic broken hearts/but this love is brave and wild” also “im only up when youre not down/dont wanna fly if youre still on the ground” “i found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you’re gonna be” and of course the big cliche (BUT IT GETS ME SO HARD EVERY TIME) “you call me up again just to break me like a promise/so casually cruel in the name of being honest”

also it’s friday! how was your week? do you have any exciting weekend plans?

To The Women Of The View: Don’t Normalize Tomi Lahren

To the Ladies of The View,

I love yinz. As a kid growing up in Western Pennsylvania, my early exposure to cross-the-aisle political debate was watching Meet the Press with my Dad, and The View with my mom. I loved my sick days in high school watching Elisabeth and Joy debate the Iraq War, gun control, recession, or tax breaks. The debates were lively, yet civil at least most of the time! They reflected the debates I was having with my conservative family members. Like in my life, your debates got heated and sometimes personal, but you had boundaries.

Then you invited Tomi Lahren.

Im not against bringing opinions on the show that typically arent represented by the hosts. This is great! Bring on people who have some facts, talk about values, and have a civil conversation. Have a heated one even! The problem is, sometimes TV shows like yours invite the most extreme cable and Internet personalities, who then tone down their extremism for mainstream television.

This phenomenon is called normalizing. It is deeply troubling to our civic discourse.

You see, Tomi Lahren has made a living not off of telling-truth, reporting, or even well-rounded arguments. She makes her living off of anger. She has equated Black Lives Matter with the KKK, blamed Beyonce for ripping off the Historical band-aid of racism (which apparently doesnt exist), thinks Trumps Muslim ban isnt a Muslim ban because it doesnt ban all Muslims (is the Holocaust not anti-semitic because it didnt kill all Jews?), touts being pro-choice on your show but bashes peaceful women marching on Washington as dwelling on problems and victimhood, but then dwells on how Obama wont call ISIS Islamic Extremists.

Three months ago she was talking about ‘baby killers’ like Lena Dunham.

Now, when you invite her on your show, she breaks character as the female version of Alex Jones and suddenly appears like a younger version of a genteel Kellyanne Conway. Her tactics on your show were the same as Conways deflect questions and go back to blaming Clinton or Obama. She paints herself as being hated by everyone, but this clearly is not true because she gets viewers and ratings. I dont hate Lahren and we might share moments of political common ground if we sat down and had a normal conversation over cupcakes Trevor Noah sent. We are both pro-choice… well, she is newly pro-choice as three months ago she was talking about baby killers like Lena Dunham. We care about what happens in the heartland. BUT, I do feel that her and her ilk are deeply damaging Americas political discourse by making it angrier, fueling victimization (equal hate from all sides for me), and encouraging unnecessary combativeness.

Now, many passionate yet fact-driven citizens (like you and me, Joy!) both know that Lahrens opinions are grounded in InfoWars-level propaganda, but her viewers dont see that. Say you bring her on with the intent to expose how ridiculous her views are; actually, you invite the unintended consequence of normalizing her views instead. Hosts like Trevor Noah might have thought that by inviting Lahren on his show, he would illustrate just how looney toons her debating points were when placed against facts. Unfortunately, Trevor Noah and also Bill Maher produced the opposite results: many people who love Lahren will never stop to hear talking points beyond their angry echo chamber. That is not a place one goes for news or debate points against liberals it is a place to go get hyped up on nationalist caffeine. Lahren fans will just see their extreme views become more acceptable when they become acceptable enough to air on ABC.

I expected more from the producers and especially hosts like Joy. I love you, Joy, and I saw the pain in your eyes as you tried to keep it together. But I wanted you to go in. I know you wanted to go in. Barbara Walters, where were you when we needed you most!?

You closed the segment saying We dont bite. That might be true, but Lahren has made her career and fame by biting people every, single episode of her show. You had this opportunity not to bite, but to drop some truth. (I was waiting for someone to bring up health care reform, the emoluments clause, or Trumps infidelities and lawsuits for sexual assault!) Instead, you let her slide. Most of the American public, which is dreadfully misinformed on basic civics and media literacy, will not know that this blonde girl-next-door was someone who got famous from blatant misinformation on politics, the suffering of black Americans, how social movements work, or why people were marching in the Womens March. She will begin to look normal.

Lahren has made her career and fame by biting people every, single episode of her show.

Now that Tomi is off The Blaze for coming out as newly pro-choice, I just hope that mainstream media does not take this as a sign they must bring this Deplorable Renegade into the fold simply because she does not tow the party line. This would be a grave mistake. Her one differing opinion from Glenn Beck should not brand her with the halo of free-thinking conservative. It does not take away everything she has said to become internet-famous.

My parents took me out of my local school district in high school because the opioid epidemic had already begun in 2004, so I too know a little bit about the pain or feeling of isolation in white America. But as a fellow white middle-American, I made a very different choice than Tomi. I did not want to make my career by capitalizing on the worst in the American psyche, by exploiting and amplifying pain or anger, by making white middle-America feel like they are complete outsiders that everyone politically hates. Instead, I chose to do a deep dive into the working world of technology and media, before also concurrently starting a PhD studying social and historical factors contributing to the political polarization we witness in our government and media. Surprise, surprise. Lahren-types are part of this problem. Someday I hope to bring my research background to a media career in front of the camera, but I do not want to settle for blinding-anger. I want to inspire understanding, knowledge, vision, and hope.

If you want constructive and charismatic conservative women who are actually bringing vision, discourse, and solutions to the future, why not invite Mary Katharine Hamm or Mindy Finn?

If you want a twenty-something former raised-libertarian and liberal convert who knows a little bit about patriotism, polarization, and political participation (and has her own humble Internet show on Facebook Live and now Youtube), someone who didnt get famous for Internet anger, maybe you want to have me on your show.

Your faithful fan since 1997

Danielle
