missing toxic!ballet jordan ..... wanna see them out of power for once, reader tired of them always tugging her around, coming into her sexual confidence and making them beg to fuck her. jordans hands bound with her ballet tights, cock teased by her cunt - that thick throbbing head sliding through her slick folds and nudging that tiny hole jordan thinks about nightly. "tell me how badly you want me." and jordan can try to glare at her, flex their jaw and try to nudge their hips up to enter her, but she just raises up on her knees. grips them around the thick base and rubs the very tip of them over her pearly little clit - "i already know you do - you're obsessed with me. but i want you to say it."
"fuck you," teeth gritted, eyes glued to where your cunt is teasing them. they think about shifting, but you'd just find something equally cruel to do. plus, they want to be inside you so fucking bad. inside that tight warm heat that's become a need for them. "just fucking sit on my dick."
"nu uh." you giggle. you lower yourself just a little, plug the fat head of them against your little opening so they can feel that wet clench. "think i can cum just like this - already feels so good -"
"don't you fucking dare." their cock twitches in your hand. "i swear to god, freshman-"
it continues you like that, and you're more than content to sit and use their cock to rub your pussy. it feels so good, bulbous head rigid and hot against your clit over your damp slit, over the rim of your hole.
they break eventually, just like you knew they would.
"fuck, fine, whatever. yes, i fucking want you - now just -" their voice is hoarse now, almost whiney as their head tips back, muscles flexing and straining with the effort to not go insane. "- just fuck me, please. I fucking need it -"
you sink down. both of you moaning at the way they just slide inside, the way carved for them with your soft pussy already wet and open to take them. it still aches, that big fucking stretch, but god, you love it now. addicted to it. "you feel so good," you sob, working yourself down all the way to the base - "that's it - oh yes -"
if their hands weren't tied they'd be bouncing you on their dick already. as it is their nails dig into their palms, and they pant heavily. they widen their thighs for you, give you more leverage to rock yourself on them.
"goddamm you're fucking tight - fuck its good - so good, baby. give it to me, let me see you ride it -"
you lean back, brace yourself on their knees, and do just that. bouncing as best you can, working your hips up and down up and down on that thick fucking cock. head thrown back, tits pushed out, sweat gleaming on your naked body as you writhe on top of them.
jordan watches you with clear awe in their eyes.
"shit - you're beautiful. so fucking pretty. such a good girl taking what you want. fuck!"

The Ghost of Winter - Bucky Barnes x fem!reader
The Phantom of the Opera AU! Bucky Barnes x fem!reader, Steve Rogers x fem!reader
Legacy agent, (Y/N), has been trained her entire life by a mystery man. When they learn that HYDRA has infiltrated SHIELD, she must fight to stop them. But could she betray the trust of her friends for her teacher?
Decided to dive into Marvel territory. I also watched Phantom of the Opera finally. Am I in love with toxic mask man? Absolutely I am. 
-------
When Nick Fury first decided to take on the project, he had no idea the assignment would come with so many... Difficulties. It wasn’t going to be easy, he knew that from the start, especially when it came to a child. 
Twenty years ago, SHIELD found and infiltrated a HYDRA lab hidden in an abandoned military base. They had found fourteen missing children that were being raised to create super soldiers that would be strong enough to tolerate whatever concoction they had created to try to replicate Dr. Erskine’s serum that had been lost nearly a hundreds years ago. 
All but one of the children had been able to go back to their normal lives. One child, (Y/N) Coulson, was left- since orphaned in 2012 in the Loki incident. She had always been around the SHIELD office since Phil didn’t want her to leave his sight. She had trained alongside the finest field agents and had become a master fighter, spy, and agent. Now, as a new HYDRA threat appears, will she be ready? Fury knew she would. 
-
The two agents smiled as they danced in the chorus of the play, twirling and swaying to the beat of the orchestra. (Y/N) twirled on her toes, catching the target out of the corner of her eye. The man, Jasper Sitwell, was a SHIELD agent suspected of working for HYDRA. He was also a patron of the theater they performed in. He was speaking with the director of the play while the rehearsal was performed. (Y/N) passed Nastasha, using her ballet shoe clad foot to point towards the direction their target had gone. A flick of her wrist was all (Y/N) needed from her to know that they needed to get to the next stage of her plan. 
Over the small device in her ear she heard Natasha’s voice signaling the other members: “Subject is heading outside. Keep an eye from the sky, Wilson.” 
“On it.” The newest member of their squad, Sam Wilson, called out. This meant (Y/N) and Natasha needed to make a swift get away. They plied off stage, walking normally they quickly changed back into their normal attire. As (Y/N) pulled the straps on her boots tight, Natasha spoke casually. 
“What about Jordan from tech?” Natasha, who was insistent on finding her a date. 
“The one that Stark caught playing Space Invaders when we were trying to stop an intergalactic army?” 
Her green eyes narrowed as she thought, “Well, they can’t all be winners.” (Y/N) chuckled and rolled her eyes. 
“Between me and Rogers, you starting a matchmaking business?” She asked as they walked down the hall to the outside. 
“Oooh. Steve, he’s a good option too.” She smiled, “Kind, loyal, strong, tough, patriotic.” 
“Just listing adjectives now, Tasha?” (Y/N) said the nickname fondly, using her elbow to knock out and break the nose of the HYDRA scum that had been following them. The Black Widow had been so fascinated by (Y/N)'s intuition. (Y/N) was able to sense enemies even years of her training had not been able to master. 
“God, that is so frustrating. How did you hear that guy?” Natasha asked, loading her pistol. 
“You know that saying about magicians and never giving up their secrets?” (Y/N)’s sentence strained between her teeth as she kicked out door of the performance house, revealing a group of HYDRA agents who were in the middle of an intel meeting. 
“I got this.” (Y/N) smirked, springing into action and taking out the agents, giving Nat the clearance to get to the computers and hack into their system, downloading all their secrets onto a hard drive. The agents fell under his fists as if all of their training had been for naught. She was strong, quick, brutal in her style. Just as she had been taught. 
Eight years old. (Y/N) was just eight years old when she had been taken to be experimented on. After being brought back home, she had asked her father to stay at the SHIELD office, so she felt safe. He had agreed, even sleeping outside her bedroom that had been made out of his own office. 
What he didn’t know, however, was that HYDRA had taught her how to be light on her feet. (Y/N) would sneak out in the middle of the night to go to the outside training area. For a while, she would throw knives, only for them to fall to the ground. She tried the sparring dummies, only to be smacked back three times harder by inanimate swinging arms. After doing this for hours, she fell to the ground, broken and alone. (Y/N) just wanted to be able to protect herself. Being poked and prodded by those evil scientists made her feel so weak, she couldn’t even defend herself. But looking at herself... Maybe she would always be weak. 
Wrapping her arms around her scraped knees, she hid her face and cried, not caring that the chill of the night air raised goosebumps on her arms, the bitter chill burning her ears and nose. 
Then suddenly, the moonlight that had been illuminating her was gone, leaving her in total darkness. When she looked up, her blood ran cold. The man in front of her was tall and sturdy looking. One hand clenched in a fist and the other, made entirely of metal, held a gun. He had black paint smeared across his eyes, but even the darkness couldn’t hide how bright his blue eyes were. Blue eyes that were looking into her soul. 
(Y/N)’s breath quickened as tears came to her eyes again. HYDRA must have sent him to kill her, to hide their failed experiments. 
“Stoyat', devushka.” He barked in Russian.
“Please...” She whimpered, “I just want to see my daddy.” She thought of her father, who believed he was protecting his daughter at that moment, who believed she was sleeping away, feeling safe that her father was right outside the door so no one would hurt her. 
The man only stared down at her, grabbing her with a tight grip and pulling her to her feet. She cried, pushing at his fingers, her trembling hands making it almost impossible to get a grip on his gloves. 
“Quiet.” He said gruffly, this time in English. Pressing her lips tightly together, she met the man’s eyes. He huffed at her, bringing her back to the training dummy. 
He released her wrist, positioning her in a fighting stance: “Your feet need to be square with your shoulders. Keep your thumbs out of your fists, that’s how you break them.” He stood behind her, pulling back her fist and positioning it as if she had drawn it back herself. 
“I want you to imagine those doctors that hurt you, use that rage, let it flow through your whole body.” He coached. She listened, thinking of the evil men and how they laughed at her when she cried out for her father, begging them to stop hurting her and the others. The rage she felt was like a white, searing heat that coursed through her veins. 
“Swing.”
All that heat making its way to her fist and transferred to the dummy. The dummy, not having stood a chance, fell back against the concrete. 
Seeing the dummy lying there made her smile for the first time since she had come home, she turned to the stranger. 
“Not bad, kid. But let’s do better.
When the last man fell, she dramatically blew across her knuckles as if they were smoking. 
Natasha rolled her eyes, “Show off.” She grabbed the USB containing the information.
-
After the day’s events, (Y/N) sat in her room. Cleaning and polishing her guns had been a way for her to pass the time, to keep her thoughts occupied. Unfortunately, it made her think about a day that she was trying so hard to get past. 
(Y/N) followed behind Fury, a large blaster in her hands. She wasn’t entirely sure what it did, but it looked powerful. When they got to where Loki’s containment had been breached, her heart sank. Seeing her father slumped against the wall made flashes of her life flash before her eyes. When he took her to the park on Sundays for ice cream, no matter how old she was. Dancing on his shoes at Daddy-Daughter dances. Tears running down his face as she ran into his arms after he had fought off endless HYDRA agents and scientists to get her back. Now here he lay, his suit soaked in his own blood, a line of red coming from his mouth. 
Fury was right besides her as they knelt to the ground in front of him, her eyes burning again with that all too familiar feeling. 
“Dad.” She said, carefully taking his hand in hers, seeing that he had already lost a lot of blood. 
“Hey Jellybean,” He said softly, using the same nickname he had come up with after she had gotten an upset stomach Easter of ‘97, “Just figured out what the blaster does. Pretty cool.” His attempt to calm her down did not hold as much weight as the situation at hand. 
“I’m sorry, boss.” Her father said to Fury, “They got rabbited.” 
Fury only shook his head, “Just stay awake. Eyes on me.” 
Her father swallowed thickly, his breathing becoming more and more labored: “Oh I’m clockin’ out here.” His eyes looked at her, eyes so full of love: “I’m sorry, sweetheart.” 
“Not an option.” Fury said. 
“Dad, come on, just hold out a little bit longer, the medical team is so close.” She hadn’t noticed it but her hands had started shaking. 
“It’s okay.” He whispered, a light chuckle in his voice, “This was never gonna work- if they didn’t have something- to...” His sentence trailed off and Phil Coulson took his last breath. 
“Dad.” With her free hand, she shook his shoulder, “Dad, come on.” Her breathing erratic, she shook his shoulder again, “Dad!” 
“(Y/N)-” Fury put a hand on her shoulder that she shook off. 
“Dad, come on, wake up!” She said through gritted teeth, “Come on, you promised we would go to the park this weekend. Because-because we missed last week because of... of the-the-” The paramedics arrived soon after. Fury took her by the shoulders, pulling her away from her father’s corpse. 
“No! NO!” She screeched, feeling very much like that innocent child again, stolen from her bed, “DADDY!” 
“(Y/N)?” Natasha called, as if she had called once before. Inhaling deeply, she turned to the doorway. The red head was standing in the frame, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion and concern. 
“Hey, what’s going on?” She asked as she got closer, “Are you crying?” 
Not realizing the tears that had fallen, she quickly looked away and wiped her eyes, “Sorry... Just... Thinking about....You know.” 
“Yeah. I know.” She sat on the bed beside her, “So are you gonna tell me about your coach or do I just keep getting gaslighted?” 
Her joke lifted (Y/N)’s spirits a little, “Look, you’re gonna think I’m crazy.” 
“If it makes you feel better, I already thought you were crazy.” She smiled, “You get real funky when you get a couple shots in you.” She shimmed her hips. 
The laughter that bubbled from her throat was genuine, something she needed: “Alright, alright. Fine.” She sighed, “After I was brought back from the HYDRA base, I was trying to get tough, but I just wasn’t strong enough. Right when I gave up a man appeared, I thought he was there to kill me but he taught me how to fight, how to walk silently, how to be what I am today.”
“What’s his name?” She asked. 
“I uh... I don’t know.” She chuckled, “He never told me.” 
“Well, why don’t you ask him?” 
“I don’t really see him too often.” She leaned back on her arms, “Only once every couple of years and he doesn't stay long. Last time I saw him was 2009. I don’t even know what he really looks like. He’s got a mask that covers his nose and mouth. I just know he’s got these piercing blue eyes.” 
 “Piercing? Huh.” Nat thought for a moment, “You know who else has piercing blue eyes?” 
“Don’t say Steve Rogers.” 
“It’s Steve Rogers.” 
“Tasha.” (Y/N) groaned dramatically, falling back on cot.
“TaShA.” She said in a mocking voice, “C’mon, I see the way he looks at you.” 
“I see the way he looks at me too. We’re just friends.”  Was Steve Rogers her childhood idol? Duh. Her father used to joke that she was a bigger Captain America fan than he was - which was definitely not true. Back before he had been taken off ice, when only a handful of people could recall the Captain from their history books, her dad hand made costumes of Captain America for himself and she was Cap’s best friend, Bucky. While dad focused more on the Captain, she had put a little more focus on the Howling Commandos and James Barnes was her favorite. 
After kicking Nat out, she decided to make her way to the kitchen in the safe house they were using. When she got there, she saw Steve sitting at one of the tiny tables with a mug in front of him. If there had been anything hot in it, it wasn’t now. 
“Hey.” He smiled, glancing up from his intense stare at the mug. 
“Hey.” She said, leaning against the fridge after grabbing a bottle of water, “How are you?” 
He leaned back, dragging one of his arms over the back of his seat, “If you would have told me a hundred years later that I would still be dealing with HYDRA.” He paused, “Well, I wouldn’t be surprised, just disappointed.” 
“Right.” She said, “My dad felt the same way. If he were here, he would be right beside us. Taking them out one evil S-O-B at a time.” 
Steve looked up at her, then glanced away, “I never got a chance to sign his cards.” 
Gnawing at her cheek, she took a seat at the table, reaching into her jacket pocket, pulling out the stack of vintage trading cards. She had spent years finding a place that would be able to restore them to their former glory, removing the blood and smell of death. Eventually when all the shops that turned her down, she asked a favor of Stark. With the help of Dr. Banner, they had created a solvent that would clean the cards without destroying the sensitive material. 
She took out a marker, pulling the cap off, “You got a minute now?” 
A smile pulled at his lips, the first one she had seen since this new mission had started, “Yeah. Yeah, I got time.” 
When the cards were signed, fulfilling her father’s last wish, they started talking. Nothing in general, just talking. The man that her father had taught her so much about was in front of her and he was just as glorious as she had imagined. And just as handsome. 
That night she had decided to go on a run while everyone was asleep. There had been too much to think about lately, especially about things she wanted to forget. It was almost the anniversary of when she had been saved from HYDRA and the flashes of her torture there had been popping up randomly in her mind. The doctors pumping her full of adrenaline so she would stay awake for hours, her fear driving her further and further. The painful serums they would test to increase her muscles and abilities. 
Eventually, her legs could push her no further. (Y/N) came to a stop, leaning against a tree for support. Her breathing was heavy, her heart beat loud in her ears. But not loud enough that she didn’t hear the twig snap. Her body became rigid, pulling a knife from its sheath at her hip. Fingers dancing over the handle before gripping tight and swinging behind her. A metal thud caused her to pause, the familiar piercing eyes putting her at ease. 
“Oh, it’s you.” She turned towards him, putting her knife back in its place, “It’s been a while.”
“You were slower than usual.” He was always straight to business. 
“Yeah, sorry, I got a lot on my mind right now.” She sighed, leaning back against the tree, “My friends are in trouble. My father died in my arms. But I guess that shouldn’t get in the way of my training, right?” 
Her teacher stared at her for a while, his expression unreadable. Mostly because it was underneath a mask. 
“But uh, I had a question?” 
His expression changed to his usual one, neutral: “You know how I feel about questions, solntse.” That word, solntse, it was a word he had called her before. She never knew how to spell it to look it up though. 
“I know, I know but... I follow your every order. You say jump, I jump. I just want to know... Your name.” 
He looked at her, then narrowed his eyes in anger. Without another word, he started to stomp off. 
“Wait!” She called, trying to catch up, “I’m sorry. Forget I asked.” He didn’t respond, just kept walking. 
“Please!” She stopped, “When am I going to see you again?” Soon, the man with the metal arm was nothing but a shadow in the dark, not to be seen. Maybe never again. 
-
The next day, the mission had been to get to Jasper Sitwell. Lucky enough, he was right where they wanted him. After leaving a meeting with Senator Stern, Sam Wilson had led Sitwell into a trap. Sam gave (Y/N) and Natasha the coordinates, leading them both out to the roof where Steve had already gotten a hold of Jasper.
“Tell me about Zola’s algorithm.” Steve said down at the man he had just pushed to the ground.
Sitwell recovered, putting his glasses back on and walking backwards: “Never heard of it-”
Steve just continued walking Sitwell to the edge of the roof, “What were you doing on the Lemurian Star?” Talking about the ship their last mission was on, the one she was told to sit out on.
“I was throwing up. I get seasick.” Sitwell excused himself before gasping as the backs of his legs hit the ledge of the building. He spun his arms around as he almost fell, both (Y/N) and Rogers reaching him out and grabbing him by the jacket so he stayed upright.
“Is this little display meant to insinuate that you’re going to throw me off the roof?” He looked between the two agents, “Your father taught you better than to fight an unarmed man.” Her jaw clenched and her grip tightened on his jacket.
“And it’s not your style, Rogers.” Steve hummed and released his grip, putting a gentle hand on her shoulder to release. She complied, unwillingly.
“You’re right.” Steve smoothed out the arms on Sitwell’s suit jacket, “It’s not.”
(Y/N) smiled sweetly, “It’s hers.” Steve and (Y/N) stepped away and Natasha stiff kicked Sitwell over the edge.
After a moment of hearing him scream, Natasha snapped her fingers: “Oh wait, what about that girl from accounting... Laura, Laura...”
“Lillian.” Steve produced the name.
“Lilly Lip Piercing.” (Y/N) said. Her father had taught her how to remember people names with association
“Yeah, she’s cute.” Natasha nudged Steve’s side a little.
‘Yeah,” Steve shoved his hands in his pockets, glancing at (Y/N) quickly, “I’m not ready for that.” He looked away when Sitwell’s screams were heard coming back up with Sam Wilson in his falcon wings. While his glance was quick, it wasn’t quick enough for her keen eyes.
While Sam and Steve escorted Sitwell towards the door, she kept Natasha back. 
“Hey, uh, what does solntse mean?” 
“It means the sun or little sun. It’s a term of endearment in Russian. Its like Sunshine.” She narrowed her eyes, “Why, who called you that?” 
“No one.” She lied, “I just saw it somewhere and was curious.”
-
“HYDRA doesn't like leaks.” Sitwell said from the backseat of the car Sam drove. (Y/N) rode in front of them on a motorcycle to alert if any HYDRA personnel came for Sitwell. Her earpiece made it so she could hear the conversation in the car.
“So why don't you try sticking a cork in it.” Sam snapped back.
“Insight's launching in sixteen hours, we're cutting it a little bit close here.” Tasha pointed out.
“I know. We'll use him to bypass the DNA scans and access the Helicarriers directly.” Steve said.
“What?!” Sitwell protested, “Are you crazy? That is a terrible, terrible idea-” He words were cut off by a scream. (Y/N) looked in the small mirror attached to the windshield and saw a man on top of the car, reaching in and grabbing Sitwell before throwing him into the other lane of oncoming traffic. He then got on top of the car, pointing a pistol downwards, shooting off a few rounds. Suddenly, the car came to a halt, throwing the assailant from the top. Though, the skilled assassin landed on his feet, staring the car down.
(Y/N) made the bike come to a screeching halt, getting off the bike and aiming a pistol at the man. But, for the first time, she hesitated. She knew his frame even from the back.
"You...." Her words were a whisper, but the man -her teacher- seemed to hear her, his head turning back towards her slightly. He had glanced at her out of the corner of his goggles, a spark of recognition.

Senior Soundtrack
Music is a love language. Lo he tuiteado, lo he dicho, y —con ustedes— lo he vivido. Parte de mis 7 años en ASF ha sido la música que he compartido: canciones que son intereses en común, recomendaciones, o hasta tracks de obras de teatro que nunca voy a borrar de mi memoria. After all, de eso se trata la música en parte: de acordarse. Y sepan que cada vez que oiga una de las canciones en esta lista, va junto con su recuerdo. A todos ustedes, de todo corazón, gracias. No sé que sería de mi vida sin ustedes.
Les dejo la playlist que construyeron conmigo, whether you knew it or not, de 2014 para acá.
PS: si no aparece su nombre en esta lista de canciones, lo único que quiere decir es que we have yet to share a song. Los adoro a todos. 
Abarca
Burn · Lin Manuel Miranda You have the voice of an angel, and every time I think of this song I no longer hear it in Philippa Soo’s voice, but in yours.
Tuyo · Rodrigo Amarante Dancing Kermit.
Alexander
"Eungenio” Salvador Dalí · Mecano We love the music, hate the lyrics.
Na Na Na · My Chemical Romance Debate bus trips. Blasting it from the backseat, with Nesquik and cold pasta at hand.
I’m Not Okay · My Chemical Romance “¿Estos son los Rolling Stones?”
Being Alive · Stephen Sondheim Life’s dream: be Bobby. Not literally. That would suck.
If I Could Tell Her · Benj Pasek & Justin Paul You once said this is the song you would dedicate to me. Though I think we’ve grown past that, I will always remember how warm it made me feel when you said it.
Ana
Isle of Flightless Birds · Twenty One Pilots Ya sé que me odias, pero DARARAAAARAAA
I’m Low on Gas and You Need a Jacket · Pierce The Veil El concierto que más he disfrutado en mi vida (and that’s saying a lot), y parte de por qué fue porque fui contigo. Lloramos en esta canción y en el video que grabé con mi horrible teléfono se oye lo feo que cantamos. 
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea · Neutral Milk Hotel De un Tiktok (de miles) que me mandaste pero de los pocos que sí abrí.
Numb · Linkin Park WAWAWAWAWAWA 
Anna
Fashionista · Jimmy James Really obscure pre-middle school memory, pero every time it gets stuck in my head me acuerdo de ver el lyrics video en el ballet y la miss Celia regañándonos.
Ari
Life Itself · Glass Animals It slaps. Plus, concert.
Remember When · Wallows My favorite song in my “Drive” playlist, cada vez que sale I remember sitting in the backseat of your dad’s car and you turning the volume up so we could drive over the Reforma speed limit with this blasting.
The Cave of Two Lovers · That LSD guy from Avatar SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!!!! SECRET TUNNEL!!!! THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN!!!! SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET TUNNEEEEEEEL!!!! (No Spotify version, so here’s the surf rock cover.)
Covarrubias
Toxic · A Static Lullaby Flashbacks a clase de Ms. Miranda en 7º.
Back to Black · Amy Winehouse No puedo oír esta canción sin acordarme de tu audición para Grease. Rizzo could-have-been?
Diana
The Adults Are Talking · The Strokes Es chill yet vaguely nostalgic Diana vibes to the max.
Stuck on the Puzzle · Alex Turner Thank you for liking Alex Turner. :`)
Dark Red · Steve Lacy Memorias de una tarde que pasamos armando Repentinos con una mini guillotina y pláticas de Dinamarca.
Diego
Thinking of a Place · The War on Drugs La primera que me recomendaste, y la mejor para manejar de noche.
Vissi d’Arte · Giacomo Puccini No creo que hubiera visto Tosca si no me la hubieras recomendado. Qué bueno que lo hiciste, porque esta aria se volvió de mis favoritas. 
Money · Pink Floyd Alguna vez jugamos music trivia en el salón de Stearns y me acuerdo de que yo todavía no la ubicaba pero tú la adivinaste sin problema. Years later, eres la persona que sé que le gusta Pink Floyd tanto como a mí. Lástima de Roger. :(
Layla · Derek & The Dominoes Este año tuve un classic rock renaissance que empezó, you guessed it, cuando me recomendaste esta. Clapton no falla.
Klavierkonzert Nr. 21, No. 2 “Andante” · Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart También me hiciste escuchar mucha más música clásica de la que conocía, y aprendí a disfrutarla. Esta sigue siendo mi favorita.
Sara · Fleetwood Mac De las pocas de Fleetwood Mac que no conocía pero que me recomendaste en uno de esos exchanges a las 12 am y que oí con audífonos in the dark.
Resguardum Ether · León Larregui También de las pocas de este cuate que nunca había oído pero que se volvió de mis favoritas.

BLACK MIRROR - My Review of US (4 Stars)
Tumblr media
Typically first-time directors have so much to say, they try to cram it all into their debuts.  Look to VOX LUX, BLINDSPOTTING, and SORRY TO BOTHER YOU for recent examples. Look to TEEN SPIRIT as an outlier in this case. With GET OUT, writer/director Jordan Peele told a streamlined story about race under the guise of a horror movie.  Despite its thematic complexity, it had sharp control and easily comprehensible plot progressions.  
Peele is doing things backwards. His latest film, US, which aims a blowtorch at the class system in America, has that packed-in, overreaching 1st-timer quality.  It may descend into silliness at times and feel like a jumble of tones, but it’s also unforgettable, thrilling, funny, brilliantly shot, edited, scored, and performed, and acts as a primal scream for the have-nots who often don’t have a means to shout on their own. I’ll take that any day over an unambitious, hand-held, lazy, navel-gazer of a film. Despite it being about a black family, the themes of US transcend race and finds a different subject to explore the differences in people.
Clearly Peele is just getting started, and already he’s established himself as a director of memorable images, of provocative subjects, and of acutely suspenseful sequences.  I don’t think anyone who saw GET OUT will soon forget what happens when Catherine Keener stirs her tea, and with US, I’d be hard-pressed to think of a single scene that doesn’t achieve that same status.  He has also tackled one of my favorite film genres, the home invasion thriller, and infused it with new life.
FUNNY GAMES remains my favorite of this theme, and Peele clearly has used it as a template in setting up his story.  In both, a family drives to their vacation home to enjoy a nice weekend on the water when intruders stop them in their tracks.  While FUNNY GAMES tackled issues of white privilege and the breakdown of decorum, US veers off into an entirely different direction. The Wilsons, father Gabe (Winston Duke), mother Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), son Jason (Evan Alex) and daughter Zora (Shahidi Wright Joseph) set up shop in their Santa Cruz retreat much like their counterparts did in FUNNY GAMES, but a prologue hints at something nefarious right from the start.  
In 1986, the year of the infamous HANDS ACROSS AMERICA charity stunt, a young Adelaide wanders off the Santa Cruz boardwalk and right into a funhouse hall of mirrors.  It’s there she encounters her doppelgänger, a traumatic event which sends a ripple effect across the span of her life.  Understandably, the adult Adelaide feels great trepidation returning to this place, despite the promise of a fun time with their wealthy friends Josh and Kitty Tyler (a terrific Tim Heidecker and Elisabeth Moss).  The first act vividly sets up the feeling of unease, even when father Gabe tries to break the mood with his endless Dad jokes. Duke gives a thoroughly winning performance as a nerdy patriarch who slowly learns his gender doesn’t automatically earn him the power position in the family.  Alex and Joseph as the young children also have total command of the screen.  You won’t soon forget the smirk on Joseph’s evil twin character anytime soon.
With Adelaide on edge, it’s not as if the invasion to come disturbs the peace, but when but when the Wilson’s red jumpsuited, golden scissors bearing alter egos appear in their driveway, it’s still a horrific jolt.  The image of them suddenly scattering when Gabe threatens them with a baseball bat has to go down as one of those great movie moments right up there with such haunting images as the ALIEN uncoiling in the escape pod, the debris flying around Regan’s bedroom in THE EXORCIST, or the devil worshippers scurrying around the other side of the closet in ROSEMARY’S BABY.  Peele knows his way around a jump scare, but he also possesses that rare skill of being able to craft tight sequences.  
Once the invasion occurs, the film rarely stops from seeming like one long battle, chase and killing frenzy, but each scene has its own unique fizz. This is helped immeasurably by Editor Nicholas Monsour’s beautiful work, especially in a cross-cutting ballet sequence.  Cinematographer Mike Gioulakis (IT FOLLOWS) clearly hasn’t made a false move yet in his career and his work here has taken him to a whole new level.  He and Peele use extras in a similarly off-putting manner as Brian De Palma and his cinematographer Ralf D. Bode did in DRESSED TO KILL.  Each segment of US has its own feel, from the sunny, washed-out look of its early scenes, to the inky black invasion sequence, to the haunting whites and grays of its climax.  Complimenting all of these images perfectly is Composer Michael Abels, who tops his one-of-a-kind score from GET OUT with this cornucopia of memorable music cues.  He has children chanting, which gave me OMEN vibes, and he has a great time reimagining I GOT 5 ON IT and GOOD VIBRATIONS, but his masterstroke is the music used in that aforementioned ballet scene. It’s generous use of bold percussive strings with a screechy violin overlay reminiscent of Britney Spears’ TOXIC felt like Bernard Herrmann on acid.  It’s easily one one of the most alive, memorable scores I’ve heard in ages.  
Now let’s talk about Lupita.  While all of our major characters have dual roles, this film wouldn’t work as well as it does without her great performances. You’ll want to see it a second time just to navigate her choices, whether it’s the frog croak or the guttural laugh of her invader twin or Adelaide’s escalating nervous energy. It’s my first time seeing her play a modern American character, and her ferocious performance smashes the tired trope of the eternally screaming Final Girl.  Her Adelaide may scream a lot, but it’s not out of fear. It’s a rage which speaks to the disparity between rich and poor in this country. It’s an open wound crying out for the poor people in the U.S. (get it?) who refuse to disappear into the woodwork anymore and who want their piece of the pie.  
Peele clearly has something on his mind.  Yes, with the rabbits (was Queen Anne from THE FAVOURITE going to make an appearance?), the biblical references, the charity event, the scissors, the one glove Michael Jackson references, the underground mythology, and the main thriller elements, his story gets messy.  Sometimes the comic relief comes at strange times, but the scene in which each family member tries to outdo each other with their kill count is just so funny and perfect. It all leads to a powerful ending which may raise more questions than it answers, but I love a film which leads to a long discussion afterwards.  Better than saying, “That was nice, but where would you like to eat?” Peele has bitten off more than he can chew, but he’s biting nonetheless.  He’s got the hunger of a fresh upstart and I can’t wait to see what he tackles next.  Sexuality? Government oppression? Climate change? The buffet options seem endless and I’ll sign up for the all-you-can-eat option.

⇢ ☆ did i just see CINDY KIMBERLY walking down hollywood boulevard? no, that’s just JULIETTA SANTOS, the TWENTY-ONE year old CISFEMALE and aspiring DANCER. i heard SHE has been described as +ARDENT & +CREATIVE, but can also be -RETICENT & -STUBBORN. i think i heard on tmz that UP UNTIL THE SHOW BEGAN, SHE WAS HOMELESS, LIVING OUT OF HER CAR but that’s probably not true. guess we’ll have to see if they make it.
heeeyyOoOoOoo friendos!! i’m mack, and this is my tiny dancer julietta. uh uhhh uhhhh under the cut you’ll find a run down of her background + her personality + connection ideas and i’m gonna .... try not to ramble but i’m Queen of That Shit™ so. .. .. .. godspeed
BACKGROUND.
julietta was born and raised in san bernadino, california where the crime rates are high, the public schools are shitty, and the temperature never dips below 50º !! her father wasn’t around and her mother ... really wasn’t much of a mother. she tried to be, but [ DRUG ADDICTION CW, OVERDOSE CW;; she was a young parent and struggled with a heroin addiction before her pregnancy and unfortunately continued to struggle with it after her daughter was born. she was in and out of rehab, clean one year and hooked again the next. when julietta was ten, her mother lost that battle and died of an overdose. ]
luckily, jules was in good hands. her grandmother loved her like she was the only good thing in the world. she was the one who enrolled jules in her first dance class at the age of three. the two of them spent an obscene amount of time in dance classes or at competitions. julietta thrived on stage, in fact, it was the only place she really allowed herself to be unapologetically, vibrantly her.
she did well in school but kept to herself for the most part. her evenings and weekends were spent in a dance studio or at competitions, and what little time she had left was taken up by her place on her high school’s dance team, homework, or a part time job teaching dance classes. things weren’t perfect, they weren’t easy, but they were okay for a while.
when jules was sixteen, however, her grandmother fell ill. she took the year off of competitions, picked up more hours of teaching, and watched as the woman who raised her withered away along with any financial stability the santos family might’ve had. hospital bills were high and morale was low. after a year and a half of sick, rita santos, the woman who shaped julietta, passed away.
jules was left alone, lost, and reluctant to go into the foster system as she was on the cusp of eighteen, so, as the sole benefactor of her grandmother’s assets, she did what she could. but funds run out and things go terribly wrong. after graduation, she hightailed it out of san bernadino and drove just a bit farther north to get back into the dance game and to further her education. 
she used what money she had left to rent a shitty apartment and worked her butt off teaching dance classes and going to school part time. but funds run out and things go terribly wrong. unfortunately, julietta got involved with the wrong people, fell in love with the wrong boy, and signed a contract with the wrong agency. her ‘friends’ surrounded her with the same toxicity that killed her mother. her boyfriend made her feel small and slept with a slew of other people while they were together. her agent took her money and never got her gigs, skipping town when she finally caught on. 
so she was pretty down in the dumps, but if her grandma taught her anything, it was resilience. but funds run out and things go!! terribly wrong!! unfortunately, she was forced to leave that shitty apartment and couch surfed in between stints of living in her car.
most of her money comes from teaching courses at different dance studios, cash prizes from competitions, and now the show. it was pure luck that she got on, got an apartment, and got to cut back on working in order to spend more time auditioning. things are looking up, but she’s not entirely sure she’s ready for the pressure of sharing her personal life with national television.
PERSONALITY. 
julietta is incredibly passionate about dance and really comes to life when she’s on stage. pointe/classical ballet is her favorite, but she’s also professionally trained in contemporary/modern, hiphop, ballroom and–– though she might not admit to it–– tap. the julietta on stage is her truest form, where she’s honest and open and good. really, really good.
she’s stubborn as fuck and a little bit too much of a perfectionist. she works herself to exhaustion and tends to be her own biggest critic. it adds to her greatness as she pushes herself to be the best she can be, but it causes issues as well. because she’s so hardheaded, she doesn’t recognize her own limits. she won’t take help, even when it’s stupid to refuse it. like yes life throws her some curveballs but fucking hell she tends to make her own problems much worse.
she’s very very very ,... quite. ‘demure’ or ‘wallflower’ fits tbh. when she speaks, it’s purposeful, but it’s rare. more often than not, she spends her time observing rather than speaking, at the edge of a party rather than at the center of it. like she really is an introvert through and through, only letting that goofy, more vulnerable side of herself out when she’s around people who know her very well.
she’s got an old soul. like she just carries herself in the way natalie wood or rita hayworth or grace kelly would. she’s a hopeless romantic like that, idk how to explain it!!!
worries about literally everything all the time. Mom Friend™
she’s just... v quiet. v thoughtful and v quiet. wants to be your friend but is too scared to ask you. 
FUN FACTS.
goes on runs when she gets stressed out; stays after hours in the studio when she’s had a bad day
dabbles in choreography and might be good at it but is TOO NERVOUS TO SHOW ANYONE
has a cat named binx that is a very recent addition to the santos family but yes he’s named after that binx
loves holidays. is 110% the kind of mom friend that sends her friends holiday themed care packages when she can afford it
life dream??? being misty copeland tbh. would settle for dancing with the stars opposite like.... chris hemsworth or michael b jordan tbh
keeps a thought journal on her at all times
wears one (1) piece of jewelry at all times: gold pendant necklace her grandma gave her on her 16th
wannabe selena quintanilla but isn’t a pop star soOoOoo
CONNECTION IDEAS.
old pals!! like long time friends from socal or school
bad influence/good influence 
confidant.... both ways man someone she can talk to or someone that feels ready to vent to her
competitors like get her riled up and angry because that doesn’t happen too often
that brother/sister friendship like so close they might as well be family................ bc you know she doesn’t hAVE any
this bitch is BROKE so !! roommates wanted and appreciated 
“are they just friends or are they dating who knows? not me”
that ride or die best friendship like seriously i just really love... fierce girl gang plots ok ok ok
“you know what stan twitter would love? a making it showmance”
bitch i love brainstorming and chem!!! so!! these are just run of the mill ideas to start with
SO ANYWAY THIS IS JULIETTA .... and it’s 1443245432 times longer than i wanted it to be so tldr: ya girl has had a rough go at it but she’s a-okay, quiet and observant and thriving on the dance stage !! will mom u and love u forever unless u hurt her feelings too much ya know???
so!! like this and i’ll IM you SORRY SORRY SORRY THIS IS SO LONG ALSDKJFHA

                                                  APRIL                      2019
PAGE   RIB
***** The Rolling Stones have cancelled their North American tour. Mick Jagger apologized for cancelling due to undisclosed medical treatments.  Oh Baby, Get Well Soon!!!!
***** Mick and his squeeze, Melanie Hamrick have put together a ballet set to Stones music called Porte Rouge. After premiering in Russia it will come to NY on April 18 for an opening night charity event to benefit Youth America Grand Prix.  Tickets start at $600.
***** Tina Fey and Carol Burnett  are working on a movie about Carol’s book, Carrie and me: A Mother –Daughter love story.
***** When I hear Bernie Sanders going on, I can’t help but think of Jimmy Carter. He was pushing many of these messages in the seventies. He tried to get us to have more respect for the land and to save energy and the greedy wrote him off as boring and the era of greed took over. Will we listen this time?
***** The Mueller report was finally turned over to Attorney General William Barr. This has started a whole new set of problems. Barr gives us a summary that is like springtime for Trump. He jumps right in to those that done him wrong and FISA warrants. Should congress get a look at the full report? Everyone is talking over each other and don’t seem to hear what the other is saying. Everybody piles on Adam Schiff because they think he isn’t accepting the report like a good Dem should. If they would listen, he makes it very clear that he respects the findings but they need to see the report. How dare they ask HIM to resign as Intel committee chair. It was heartwarming to see his backbone. They must quit backing down. We still don’t have the whole story but he still free to say that he thinks the actions we already know of were wrong. What the hell is wrong with that? Barr is supposed to release the heavily redacted report in mid- April. No collusion? Perhaps, Scary Clown 45 would probably not get his hands dirty. Obstruction? We’ll see. ** Tyler Mcgaughey, William Barrs son in law will now advise Trump and the White House staff. ** I am really sick of listening to the old white man POV.
***** Dow chemical has donated a mil to Trump’s campaign. Strange that Trump has blocked a report  that took years of research and shows proof of Dow toxic pesticides which jeopardizes over 1,200 endangered species.
***** US from Jordan Peele opened to 70.3 mil. Just like his last movie, critics tell us to watch it twice. How great for the bottom line.
***** John McCarty, a dead man is running for village President in Spring Bay, Il.
***** Look out for the new film, The Kid, directed by Vincent D’onofrio. The western stars Ethan Hawke, Chris Pratt, Hawk , D’onofrio , MorningStar Angeline and Leila George.
***** Did you ever see the reunion movie ‘Return to Green Acres? ‘  They tried to warn us of who Trump was a long time ago. How strange that it came full circle with that ridic Emmy Green Acres thing he did.
***** Shaq has become a deputy sheriff and has also been added to the board of directors of Papa John’s where he is an investor.
***** In sexual harassment news, Lucy Flores, a former Nevada assemblywoman has accused Joe Biden of unwanted touching and kissing at a 2014 campaign event.
***** Mark Hamill will voice the Chucky doll in the new Child’s Play.
***** Law and Order will get its 21st season.
***** The daytime Emmy noms have been announced and Days got the most this year. WOO HOO! The soap was nominated for drama, writing, costume, music, casting, art direction and oh, just everything. In the acting category the lead noms are Marci Miller, Tyler Christopher and Billy Flynn.  Kate Mansi was noticed for a guest spot as Abigail so 2 actresses are up for Emmys in the same role. Other guest noms went to Thaao Penghlis and Philip Anthony Rodriguez. Kassie Depaiva, Linsey Godfrey (really?), Martha Madison, Greg Rikaart and Eric Martsolf were all nominated.  Younger actor nods went to Olivia Rose Keegan, Lucas Adams, Victoria Konefal and Kyler Pettis.  C’mon , why nothing for Lauren Koslow, Greg Vaughan, Casey Moss, Susan Seaforth Hayes and Robert Scott Wilson?? I think I would switch a few of these around but it is still great to see Days so blessed.  I was also happy to see Max Gail from GH get noticed. CBS led the networks in noms. Hooray for Wayne Brady for game show host and Mark Hamill, Ruth Negga and Steve Buscemi in animated programs. Watch for the Daytime Emmys on May 5 which will not be on television again.
***** General Robert Neller has told the Pentagon that funds diverted to the wall are keeping Marines from rebuilding hurricane hit bases.
***** Devin Nunes is suing Twitter for the parody accounts, Devin Nunes Mom and Dvin Nunes cow which is pretty funny.
***** The EU is banning straw, cotton swabs and plastic cutlery by 2021.
***** Jenny McCarthy has a book out that slams The View.
***** Roseanne is thinking about suing ABC and has said some rather nasty stuff about Sara Gilbert.
***** Michael Avenatti was arrested for trying to extort $20 mil from Nike in NY. He claims he was just doing some lawyering.  California has him on bank fraud charges.  Why is there so much shadiness in this world? Let’s start rewarding the people doing good in this world and quit talking these headlines everyday.
***** Why did this Jussie Smollett thing go away?
***** Wal Mart is walking back this getting rid of the elderly and handicapped greeter thing.
***** Tracy Morgan and Will Forte are to star in the new animated Scooby Doo movie.
***** Johnny Depp has sued ex Amber Heard over the abuse allegations.
***** Martha Stewart is diving into the Marijuana product industry.
***** New York charges Manafort with 16 crimes. Perhaps he won’t get off as lightly with the state crimes.
***** Season 9 of American Horror Story has no premiere date yet. Emma Roberts is confirmed to return. It looks like it will also include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and silver medalist Gus Kenworthy.
***** New California Gov. Gavin Newsom has halted executions for now.
***** Dems will hold their convention in Milwaukee. And if I hear again that Hillary didn’t go to these sorts of places, I am gonna puke. She went! She went! Just not so much at the end.
***** Howard Stern will release his first book in 20 years this May.
***** Ok, so glad to see Whoopie Goldberg is starting to get back to work but it is just so unbelievable in this day and age and access to info that she seemed shocked that the insurance companies decide people’s fate. Of course, that is if you are lucky enough to have insurance.
***** Sandy Hook families can take lawsuits against the gun companies to court now.** Three suicides have recently come from survivors and a parent of Parkland and Sandy Hook. The pain goes on.
***** The Senate voted 59-41 to terminate the emergency declaration. VETO
***** Rick Singer, founder if a college prep business had pled guilty to money laundering, obstruction of justice and racketeering. The nationwide college entrance exam scandal involves about 50 people including Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin that dates back to 2011. People paid millions to use ringers to take or fix their children’s exams and sometimes faked photos with coaches to include them in sports they were never involved in. The U.S. attorney does not believe the schools themselves were involved. **Lawsuits have already begun from those claiming they could not get into a good college because those spots were taken by these alleged cheaters.
***** Jennifer Hudson will play Aretha Franklin in the biopic.
***** Experts say a recession is on the horizon.
***** Two Sacramento police officers will face no charges for their overkill of the unarmed Stephon Clark. Oh Big surprise!!
***** White supremacist groups on line are growing faster than ISIS. ** I never get it, if white supremacists are so supreme, so wonderful, wouldn’t they rise to the top naturally? Why do they need to rid the world of others or keep minorities down?? If they think others are so inferior, those they hate or fear should not be a problem .
***** Jeanine Pirro was pulled off Fox news after a racist rant about Muslims. ** And where is Rudy? The lawyer hasn’t been seen on the air since January. ** Is this true? Did Ivanka and Jared really try to resign? Did Scary Clown 45 try to push them into it and then not accept those resignations?
***** This can’t be true. Only 5 states have laws requiring patient consent for medical students to do vaginal exams on women under sedation.
***** I rarely think about Jay Leno but he was right about the late night comics all doing different versions of the same joke.  But, who is he to talk? I mean how many different things did you do on OJ and Clinton?? At least these guys are funny.
***** The talk that people stay in their bubble becomes crystal clear when you see the poll asking if the President is truthful: Fox viewers : 84%, MSNBC viewers : 21% and CNN viewers: 1%. Whoa!
***** Word is that Scary Clown ordered economic advisor Gary Cohn to pressure the Justice Department to file a lawsuit to block the Att-Time Warner merger to retaliate against CNN.
***** At least 250 power plants across the country are leaking toxic chemicals into nearby water.
***** Jay Inslee is running for president! I think Stacey Abrams and Jay Inslee would be a nice ticket>
***** Beta O’Rourke is running for President! The psychedelic warlord!
***** Kristen Gillibrand is running for President!
***** Conor McGregor was arrested and charged with felony strong armed robbery and criminal mischief in Miami.
***** The process is in the works to get Trumps tax returns.** The house Judiciary committee has requested 81 documents.** This can’t be true. Trump was signing Bibles for volunteers and survivors in Alabama??
***** Just when it can’t get any weirder: Li Yang and her hubby, Zubin Gong run a string of massage parlors with questionable reputations. Until recently they ran the one that Robert Kraft was busted in. They also had a web site that seemed to sell access to their buddy, Donald Trump with Chinese business contacts. As soon as the story broke, the sites for an international consulting firm, text only in Chinese and no prices for the meets came down. Li Yang and her associates are in pictures at the inauguration, the White House, Mar A Lago and Trump’s super bowl party with the Pres, his sons and other Trump family members. We should have seen this coming. The old adage that always holds true with this administration seems true here. They always blame others for what they are really guilty of, this explains the Pizzagate garbage. This could be bigger than we ever dreamed. Even stories that we may have thought a bit out there need to be looked at closer. Can we connect the sex trafficking, the White House, the money? It is time to quit fucking around with the sellers and customers of those exploited in the sex trade. I don’t get it, all these men from Trump to R Kelly have the power over the women they supposedly use and abuse and yet they are always so angry. Perhaps they wouldn’t be losing their power if you treated others with respect and dignity. They always want all the power for themselves. And c’mon media, stop talking your heads off about the Omar story and give this Li Yang story a closer look.
***** The story of the fall of Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes is a sad one. It does show that greed and massive fraud are not just for the men of this world. When I first heard of her plans for the blood testing, I was so impressed with what she was accomplishing at her age. Yes, she was another poor little rich girl whose family fortune was quite diminished by the time it got to her. Even without the Fleischman yeast money, she did seem to have advantages. I can see how some of us were fooled but what about the big investors, the stalwart statesmen?  Do they not remember that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is? How can all the hype, the press, the marketing snowball before there is any proof that something is what is actually supposed to be?? I always assumed that by the time I am hearing about it, things are about ready to go. Seeing all these stories like Trump and Deutsche bank, light sentences for Manafort and now Holmes and her partner in crime seeming to get off lightly, there is not much hope for the little guy. WHY can’t we hold those involved in big money crimes really responsible??
***** It’s true, rich people cause socialism – Neal Brennan.
***** Even in 1692 the rich were different. –Stacy Schiff- The Witches.
***** FEMA released the personal data of 2.3 million victims.
***** They have dug up old words from Fox’s Tucker Carlson. Big surprise that he seemed to empathize with Warren Jeffs, thought women should just shut up and called a woman “cunty.”  The women who lap up the words of these men must not think much of themselves.
***** Why are we letting the banks finance detention centers and prisoners? It’s more than immigration or punishing criminals. Why is this big business?? I can’t believe this is still going on. Wake up!!! When will the children be free?  C’mon House and Senate, Pass the Shut Down child prison camps bill.
***** Somebody has to pay for this President’s folly: The scary clown new budget cuts:$ 1.5 trillion from Medicaid/ $845 billion from Medicare/ &25 billion from Social Security.
***** About 1 rural hospital a month is shutting down due to lack of support and lack of funds.
***** Globalization seems to be spreading a pathogen killing the olive trees in Italy.
***** A fake Melania?? WTF? UGH!
***** Matthew Whitaker is out! Bill Shine is out!
***** When will we ever be able to buy the boxed set of Late Night with Dave?? Hurry so the next generation can see the genius they may have missed.
***** Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale??
***** Hey Bill Maher, way to go with your PETA message about the terrible treatment of the geese used to make Canada Goose down jackets.  I will stay away!!
***** J Lo and A Rod are engaged.
***** Bette Midler and Judith Light will join the cast of The Politician.
***** Jussie Smollett has been indicted on 16 felony counts.
***** HBO’s Crashing was cancelled. Pete Holmes was great in this but I never really saw much promotion for it. I hate it when good stuff falls thru the cracks.
***** Kathy Griffin has a new film about the ridiculous Trump head, nearly career ending, Government harassment crap in her life. Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a story. Make that lemonade!! A girl has to take care of herself. It premiered at SXSW.** Speaking of SXSW, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez drew great crowds while she was there.
***** R Kelly lives in Trump tower in Chicago. Well, of course he does.  Why is it ok for the rest of us to put up with these arrogant, abusive males in this society? Everyone is giving kudos to Gayle King for her calm demeanor in her interview. Yes, how professional of her but why should she be subject to that disrespect??  She is in her workplace. Would R Kelly have liked his Mother or daughter to be treated that way?
***** So, word is that Isaiah 45 is a Trump thing with the evangelicals. This scripture refers to Cyrus , the anointed one. OY!
***** Days alert: Robin Strasser is coming OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!** Judith Chapman and her old style soap acting just too much. ** C’mon Chloe and Rex!!** More Nurse Shelly!! ** Is Johnny Dimera on his way to town? ** I was so glad to see Tony, one of the best characters ever anywhere, even if it was part of an out of body experience.
***** Why do we have to keep talking about George and Kelly Ann Conway?? Are they just covering their bases? With one on each side of the Trump argument, they win no matter what happens right?
***** So now we know that about 400 Catholic clergy have been accused of sexual  misconduct in Illinois. It never ends.
***** End the electoral college!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** S
***** Fox has hired Donna Brazile. People seem to finally be taking Bill Maher’s advice and telling their point of view to the other side. How else will sanity prevail if we don’t find common ground? We cannot look to this administration for guidance in this world, we have to figure these things out for ourselves, which we should be able to do anyway.
***** Suicide is the second leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds.  We have to find our self- worth.  
R.I.P. Andy Anderson, Katherine Helmond, Nathaniel Taylor, Luke Perry, Alabama tornado victims, Jan Michael Vincent,  the Ethiopian airlines disaster victims, Hal Blaine, victims of the New Zealand Mosque shootings, Sydney Aiello, the Ogossogou village attack victims, Denise DuBarry, Larry Cohen, Jeremy Richman, Ray Sawyer, Tania Mallet and Nipsey Hussle.

for all toxic!ballet jordans trying to not fall for you they make sure to take your virginity in missionary, so they can look into your eyes when they slip it inside you - so they can thumb away your tears and breathe moans into your mouth. for all their thoughts of how they'd ruin you, they're achingly gentle, filling you up slowly, pushing in in in until their pelvis meets your needy clit. for all the ways they'd made you cry before, this is different, when they don't pull out, just move their hips against yours, grinding deep inside you. lacing your fingers and pressing your palms together so nearly every inch of your bodies are touching, sliding, moving together. for all the rumors about how jordan li fucks people like they're disposable, there's no denying that this - isn't fucking. not this time. they're making love to you.

🇺🇸American skincare brands we need in the UK RN! 🇬🇧
http://fashion-trendin.com/%f0%9f%87%ba%f0%9f%87%b8american-skincare-brands-we-need-in-the-uk-rn-%f0%9f%87%ac%f0%9f%87%a7/
🇺🇸American skincare brands we need in the UK RN! 🇬🇧
Do you suffer from IE? That’s Instagram envy for those who don’t know.
The new FOMO, IE is a common affliction suffered by pretty much everyone not showing off their latest beach holiday – we’re looking at you @TashOakley!
I don’t get travel envy from scrolling through my feed – I get bathroom envy. Top shelves full of lotions, potions, serums & body oils is what turns me on. I am the kind of beauty-obsessive who zooms in on the latest #topshelf, deciphering what products my favourite influencer of the day is using.
Three brands that have been caught on everyones Insta-radar with their GLOWING reviews and chic packaging are True Botanicals, Herbivore Botanicals and Jordan Samuel. Guess what? They are all AMERICAN AND NOT STOCKED IN EUROPE! *Collective sigh*…
Fortunately all three are COMING SOON, so in the meantime, here is what you need to know.
Every #skinfluencer on Instagram is obsessed with Jordan Samuel, whose products have a simple, powerful efficacy that cuts right through the sometimes gimmicky would of beauty.
Q. Why have you started a brand?
A. As a practicing aesthetician and former professional ballet dancer I wanted to bring effective but gentle products to the market to create a visible change in the skin. After spending years watching ballerinas tend to their skin I knew I wanted to bring those tips and tricks to the public.
Q. What did you feel was missing in the market?
A. Affordable luxury. There are many beautiful high-end brands and many beautiful budget brands but really something was missing. I want people to enjoy very effective products with an addictive look and feel.
Q. What is the philosophy of your brand?
A. To allow customers to take true individualized skincare into their own hands. Choreograph your own unique skincare performance without having products and ingredients that interfere with each other. Keeping things simple and creative. Gentle yet effective.
Q. Do you have any plans to stock in the UK?
A. Absolutely! While we are direct-to-consumer we are looking at every possible lead to eventually have a warehouse in the UK so we can continue to bring affordable luxury to every corner of the globe.
You have to try the Hydrate Serum – it is without a doubt one of the best on the market; I use religiously. I’ll be buying the new Hydrate The Mist too.
True Botanicals
This natural brand means business, which is no surprise – their sleek products and intelligent formulas are slowly gaining a cult-following in the celebrity and online world.
Q. Why have you started a brand?
A. I was horrified to learn about the toxic ingredients in my everyday products; there are so many ingredients in regular skincare brands that are definitely not needed for results. So I have joined forces with an amazing team to transform the beauty industry into a wellness industry. We all deserve better!
Q. What did you feel was missing in the market?
A. High performing products made without toxins. Some people have the perception that they have to choose one or the other and it is just not true.
Q. What is the philosophy of your brand?
A. We are building a brand that benefits our customers, the farmers who grow our ingredients and the planet. It is so rewarding to be part of a movement that is proving that there is a lot of demand for mission driven brands that make great products.
Q. Do you have any plans to stock in the UK?
A. The UK it is one of our top markets for international shipments so it will definitely be one of the first markets that we expand to.
The Nutrient Mist is sublime; it leaves a dewy finish and absorbs beautifully. I also love getting the most out of a mist and if it is packed with antioxidants like this one I consider it such a steal. The Vitamin C Booster also deserves a shout out – you can add it to anything (serum or moisturiser) for a much needed brightening boost. So convenient.
Herbivore Botanicals
If millennials were a brand, it would be Herbivore Botanicals. Their TDF packaging is an Instagram wet-dream and their natural formulas feel luxurious and youthful.
Q. Why have you started a brand?
A. We started Herbivore because we wanted to make a 100% natural line that was just as beautiful as it was effective. We combine modern minimal aesthetics with result driven 100% pure botanical based products completely free of synthetics.
Q. What did you feel was missing in the market?
A. I think what was missing was truly natural products that felt luxurious and gave good results. We wanted to show the world that natural skin care is effective and luxurious.
Q. What is the philosophy of your brand?
A. We were just two people with a passion for beauty, wellness, sustainability, social justice, and animal welfare. We built our company on those values and people have responded really well to that. We started at the farmers market and our like-minded customers have brought us the rest of the way.
Q. Do you have any plans to stock in the UK?
A. Yes! We are launching exclusively with Space NK stores across the UK, Scotland and Ireland in April 2018! We are planning a launch party in London so stay tuned!
I really adore the Lapis Facial Oil – it contains Blue Tansy (the brilliant colour is totally natural) which soothes and healths troubled skin. What really steals the show though is their ‘light pink’ range. It’s just bathroom (*Instagram*) gold.

ballet jordan giving you a therapy dicking after a really shitty group practice
i raise you ballet jordan taking their frustrations out on your cunt after shitty practice - back sliding up and down the slick shower wall in the lockroom as they jerk you up and down on their dick like you weigh nothing, nearly bouncing you on it, fingers gripping your ass. you can only wrap your legs tight around their slick waist and moan into their mouth as they work you on their cock - small aborted gasps being punched out of you with each thrust.
"fuck - fuck, this pussy - goddammit."
they let out a broken moan and you run your hand through their wet hair, slicking it back, "yeah," you whine, "yeah, use me j, u-use my pussy, cmon-"
"shit, that's good. fuckin' tell me to use you - tell me you want this little freshie cunt beat up on my dick-"
i want it! give it to me - give it to me please -"

Toxic!BalletAU!Jordan where your dance studio becomes you two's bubble.
On paper most rooms are free for all at all times but when you need some privacy you need to schedule and Jordan always needs some privacy especially since you two have been paired up for more than one performance together.
you two have been spending all your time together training and with Jordan always scheduling your time together in the evening your training has been long and tiresome often leading to the two of you exhausted on the floor.
With pauses here and there you test the water, sometimes your questions are met with dry, "shut up." Or "that's none of your buisness." But sometimes after a three hour session Jordan is exhausted enough to answer your questions.
It feels a bit like pillow talk, Jordan will be spread on the floor trying to rest for a few minutes while you'll be massaging your ankles and they'll huff before answering your questions.
You touch everything little by little, their power, if they were scared the first time they shifted, how their parents reacted or questions unrelated to that like how they came to want to become a dancer or what music they listen to.
You two feel it. Especially Jordan when the sun sets and it's been down for a few hours, the vibe has changed it's different and it's just the two of you. They'll still be banter and sarcasm but they'll be soft moments too where Jordan would check their notifications and messages before they turn around ready to start again when they see you napping on the floor and 'reluctantly' (that's what they convince themselves) let you sleep for a small 30 minutes before they gently nudge you with their foot to stand back up and go at it again.
I have so many more in store!
oh my god im melted ice cream on the floor
me when I wrote more than i expected to.
they really start showing their love language too ( i think they're heavy on physical touch and acts of service) to the point where they have this since of pride in their chest whenever you look to them expectantly, doe like eyes wide, and they present you with your protein bar. they ignore the warmth in their chest at how it feels to - to take care of you - feed you, watch you get replenished. and you start falling into this sense of comfort around them, even if there's still moments you genuinely don't know if they hate you or not, you couldn't do what you're doing with anyone else. something in you feels safe around them, despite the thorns threatening to prick you at every turn.
but it feels good to learn about them little by little. you try and be a positive person, maybe you try too hard but thats a discussion for another time, but you're suprised at the intensity of the dark emotions that come over you when you learn about their parents, the way they dont accept jordan - how they're basically the whole reason jordan doesn't shift in front of people here. it actually makes jordan laugh one day, a sharp sound - "shit - you look like a pissed off little rabbit. what, you gonna pout my parents to death?"
that leads to you huffing and shoving at their shoulders, and they actually nudge over a little, in their fem!form - and that's how it starts. a tussle, playfighting really - they just suddenly can't stop giggling at your attempts to be intimidating and you start off miffed but end up just doing it to hear them continue to laugh - because its such a beautiful sound. you think you could bottle it up. wear it around your neck forever.
eventually they pin you under them, panting a little, grinning and flushed - their longer hair fluttering in the space between you. and the giggles die down, their eyes go from mirth at your expense to something - something shockingly tender. it traps the air in your chest. you both have a moment of looking at eachothers lips, then your eyes, before they're leaning in, hungry and fast - and this is all so new - you've never been kissed by anyone - let alone a woman - and you find you're not afraid. far from it. your legs seem to spread natrually, wrapping around their slim waist, pulling them into you.
they kiss you so intensely, its ravenous really, a moan clawing its way from deep in their chest as they move to kiss along your neck - reach down and grip your thigh, yanking it higher around their hips so they can - can grind down. and you gasp at the friction of their cunt on yours - the tights you're both wearing thin enough you can feel the pressure as they drive their hips against you - mimicking - mimicking
"this is how i think about fucking you - " they say, biting at your earlobe, "all the damn time."
you whine, hands scrabbling at their back - "jordan." you gasp, "don't stop - please dont stop."
"fuuck." it comes out like a hiss, they're really rutting you into the floor now, you can feel the wetness of your cunt, of theirs, seeping together, mixing in the sheer fabric separating you both - "god, what're you doing to me." a hand sneaks up, wraps around your throat in an almost punishing manner, "haven't cum this way in ages - fuck - this little freshmen cunt -"
they're cut off, groaning, and your thighs squeeze around their hips, rocking your pelvis up to meet theirs and you hit that peak right after they do - eyes rolling back into your skull at how good it is.
they roll off you, staring up at the ceiling. a kind of dazed, content expression on their face.
and then you say, "that's never happened to me before."
its like a shudder comes down - reality crashing back. they suddenly remember you're a fucking - virgin. and they dont get attached. fuck. especially too people they're working closely with. that familiar panic, panic at this becoming - a thing. they sit up.
"yeah, well. now we can put this - whatever the fuck it was - sexual tension, i guess, behind us. no more missteps."
you feel your heart crack a little. "um, jordan?"
they glance at you as they get their things, and its like weeks of progress has melted away. they're already on their phone, fingers flying across the screen. they shift back into their masc!form, running a hand through their hair as they stop beside you.
they look down at you, something like pity in their eyes, and it makes you sick.
"look freshie." they sigh, "dont make it a thing, okay? we got caught up, we fucked around to let off some steam, this kinda shit happens all the time. bright and early tomorrow, I'll see you then. dont be fucking late."
you try not to cry as you pack your things - alone in the studio. funny how you thought just thirty minutes ago - that you felt safe with them. now you'd been pricked by the thornes, and fuck, if the wound didn't hurt.
outside, jordan kicks over a trashcan. probably way too aggressively. they run both hands through their hair, and actually debate going back inside. taking it all back. because that had been something raw, and real, and vulnerable. but they dont. not for the first time, they harden their heart towards you, and vow to not get close enough to the flame to let it burn them again.

FUCK YOU OTHER ANONS WHO GOT ME HOOKED ON TOXIC BALLET AU JORDAN
*sighs* jordan sending their little freshie pictures/videos of them during/after their post rehearsal shower, whether its just them naked, their cock in hand, any of it. and pretending it wasn't meant for you but it absolutely was. UUUGGGHHHH
"bet you're dripping over there aren't you?"
meanwhile you're sitting in your room (or even your own shower) and how are you even supposed to deny it? they're just gonna know they're right. and here you are thinking you're gonna have to deal without yourself until another message comes in
"you want me to come fix it for you?"
-🔮
thinking of post shower jordan with their hair dripping wet and bare chested, flushed from the steam, chain hanging delicately around their neck - they probably sent it because you had the audacity to send them a cute picture of you in your little fit, taking a mirror selfie and you have on high thighs or something equally innocent and upsetting. usually they'd leave you on read or send a sarcastic reply but that picture had led to the throbbing problem hanging between their legs - after they'd already gotten out of the shower. they think of it as a lesson.
'dont send that kind of shit to me, freshmen, unless this is the reaction you want.'
the next pic being of their slender hand, long pale fingers wrapped around their thick cock. fisting the throbbing head where you can see a dollop of pre beading at the angry red slit. you think you see fucking - veins - and you've never - never seen a dick before - except for those quick shots in movies sometimes, but its nothing like this. you feel scared, intimidated, in awe, hungry, all at once. staring at the screen for long, long minutes, lips parted. you just keep thinking over and over about how big it is, how - how sex works - how if - if you had it with jordan - that would go inside - feeling your little hole clench at the mere idea.
you dont answer them, for maybe the first time ever. quite literally speechless. its not the first time you touch yourself to the thought of jordan li, but it is the first time, you sink your fingers in. not just rubbing your clit in frantic, hurried, shy circles. but dipping them inside, feeling around the give of your cunt - bringing back the picture - shuddering at the slight peek of their balls you can see, hanging low, that fucking hand, gripping just under the head, you imagine them pumping themselves up and down, imagine that cock spreading, spearing, opening you - you cum harder than you ever have before, imagining them over you, bullying your virgin cunt open on that fat cock.
