The Tale of Two Cities according to Stephi and Heiko - Part 476

This weekend in all countries of the European Union will be held the election to the next European Parliament. I am not going into the specifics into what the countries itself can decide on their own and which is up to the EU. It is way too complicated, especially since all countries are still sovereign countries, yet have ti abide to European Law as well. I bet you already see how this gets complicated. It got them Brits that confused that they elected to get out of the EU and are now regretting it mostly because of economic reasons, which their own government told them would be way better without the EU. It is not.

This weekend’s election is still pretty important as there seems to be a trend towards right wing parties. It looks like a lot of people have not learnt enough about what happened last century and are still/again believing nationalist’s lies. Somehow a lot of people beliebe they would be better of being in their own and keep everything else out. I hope I also don’t have to talk too much about nationalism and fascism.

And while this election is important and there are a lot of parties to worry about there are also a lot of smaller parties that are just weird. Sometimes you cannot believe what people come up with. There might be cases for veganism, elderly people and some parties can still mix their serious agenda with some humor (like „We want more ice cream“ billboards). And then there are the crazy ones like the party that wants to use science to cure humanity of all diseases and wants people live forever. They seriously put this on their posters ad it’s their one only agenda.

You see, craziness and serious agendas are pretty close together when it comes to election.

The first picture shows a poster form Munich, while the second one is from Cologne.

i cannot beliebe usopp got his title "god usopp" all because the ceiling caved and light shone down, and his broken sentences of telling the giant to put him down got misheard as him guiding everyone

that's an unintentional power move

i am HERE for it.

Haikyuu!! as Things My Teachers Have Said

To make up for everything they’ve taught me that actually falls into the curriculum but which I have barely retained (and also because as nice as most of my profs are, I miss my high school teachers)

Warning(s): mention of hangover once

Karasuno

。Daichi: Stop, stop, stop. It doesn’t matter how many times you say it, you’re still going to be wrong

。Sugawara: Break my rules and I’ll break you

。Asahi: Are you having a rough day? If you ever need to take a breather and go outside for a walk just let me know okay?

。Nishinoya: One time I was shaking like crazy from caffeine withdrawal so my co-worker told me to go home but I just downed my fourth cup of coffee instead. It was only 8am

。Tanaka: You’re asking me what your last name is? Get out of here, I don’t even know your first name!

。Kageyama: That turned out worse than I expected

。Hinata: My cat threw up this morning so I guess you can say my day started off with a blast

。Tsukishima: I quit

。Yamaguchi: Plants are exciting! But you guys don’t seem as enthusiastic so I hope at least knowing that the test on this unit won’t be so difficult will be something you can look forward to

。Yachi: Not sure if I’m qualified to answer that question but you probably??? Shouldn’t?? Do that?

。Kiyoko: The energy in here is too much, please sit down

Aoba Johsai

。Oikawa: Looking around, I know you guys will find insanely hot partners. You know what they say about how opposites attract; I mean, look at you guys!

。Iwaizumi: You think writing an essay is mentally draining but I’m the one who has to read it

Nekoma

。Kuroo: Now the actual filtering units of the kidney are called nephrons - or as I like to call them, Zac Nefrons-

。Kenma: Am I being paid to teach you? Yes, although arguably not enough. But am I being paid to care what grade you’re getting? No

。Yaku: She did NOT print this out in comic sans

。Lev: Justin Bieber seems like a pretty cool guy, I think I’m a bit of a Belieber myself

Fukurodani

。Bokuto: Ball is life man

。Akaashi: Well I‘m sorry that you don’t find Shakespearean insults riveting

Shiratorizawa

。Ushijima: Don’t call me “bro”

。Tendou: Personally, I don’t believe in giving detention; I believe in making you guys embarrass yourself by doing the chicken dance in front of everyone else

。Semi: Never have kids and never get married. You will regret it

。Goshiki: Don’t apologize, you’re doing great!

Inarizaki

。Kita: This is the 10th time you’ve announced to the class that you are hungover. We get it, you’re always hungover

。Suna: You’re going to have arthritis in your 20s with that kind of posture

。Osamu: No you cannot ask me for help, I’m on my lunch break

。Atsumu: The only skill you need for success in life is bullshitting

[kaylorrehabcenter]

Well hello!

My name is Hannah, and I run kaylorrehabcenter.

Who are you: I’m a former Kaylor who joined the fandom around 2016. I’ve been a Taylor fan for most of my life, and casually knew of Kaylor through other friends, but it wasn’t until then that I beliebed in Kaylor. Around the time of folklore coming out, I started realizing things didn’t add up in the Kaylorsphere, and I slowly began to disentangle myself from the conspiracy. Now I hang out on the gaylor side of the fandom, writing lyric analyses and crying about Quinn Fabray.

What flavor of Gaylor are you now?: I’m open to most possibilities, including but not limited to: Beards to lovers Swiftwyn, Tily, swiftgron, and a more realistic version of Kaylor a la the amazing @bisluthq’s timeline. I’m open to other possibilities, but those are my pet theories. Kaylor is the ship I know the most about and have the most conflicting thoughts about, and Tily is the ship that lives rent free in my head now a days. I tend to think of Taylor as some flavor of bi/pan/queer but am not interested in labeling her beyond that and I tend to just call her gay out of shorthand.

Ok, what are the rules of operation here: For the most part I’m pretty chill. I just graduated university, so I’m hoping to spend more time here in the coming months. The standard rules of no dark shipping, no harassing other blogs (or Joe, Karlie, Josh, etc etc for that matter) also apply here. The big one for me is. I do not support ttb/spade. She doxxed vulnerable queer people, which revokes any kind of ally points she may get. She’s peddles dangerous conspiracy theories and is antisemitic and generally gross. (see people like @kaylorantisemitism for more details!) I cannot stop you from supporting her, but I will block you for supporting her and her crowd and following me. This is for my safety as much as it’s because I don’t like her.

So what do you do around here?: Mostly I write lyrics analysis! And post sad kaylor thoughts and random fandom musings. I’m also currently rewatching glee, so a lot of glee thoughts also get published here. If you want to talk about any of those things, shoot me a message or DM! I promise I’m very friendly and approachable lol, if also very forgetful. I hope you enjoy your stay here <3

[honey-im-hotdog]

@/is-it-madness it breaks my heart and I don’t even know what to say. I miss you and I hope I’ll be able to talk to you again.

This wasn’t the assignment, but sometimes I’m an overachiever. No one has to do/recreate this, I’m just going through it lads so I wanted to show you guys my appreciation 💖

PODCAST TRANSCRIPT - Nona Janssens

Other podcast transcripts: Veerle Dejaeger, Nora Dari, Nona Janssens, Nathan Naenen This is one of the literal transcripts of the wtFOCK cast podcasts by Ender Scholtens (’Gossip Guy’). You can watch it on YouTube with my contributed English subtitles as well. I didn’t put in any of the sounds, movements, hesitations or laughter, just the plain dialogue. Heads up: they never or barely mention the show, because they’re not allowed to (contract restrictions)!

--- “Nona Janssens: Do Tinder relationships work?” ---

Source: Gossip Guy - 1st of May 2020 (Podcast via webcam)

Nona Janssens: Hello! Ender Scholtens: Hey! Everything okay? Nona: Yes, you? E: Excellent, even. Nona: Should I sit somewhere else? E: You really don't have to. But do you have earbuds with a good mic? There is a bit of an echo. Nona: I always lose everything, I lost all my earbuds. I have some, I'll try them. E: Suspense... Nona: No, doesn't work, right? E: It actually does. Shall we get started? There are a bunch of fun questions. Nona: Exciting! E: Really exciting, even. Alright. Waddup people, welcome to a new episode of 'Gossip Guy’ podcast. My name is Ender Scholtens and today I’m here with Nona Janssens. Waddup, Nona, everything alright? Nona: Hallo, yes, yes. And you? E: Certainly, I'm happy you're in the podcast. For the people who don’t know you, could you introduce yourself? Where could they know you from? Nona: I play in a tv series for young people, whose name I cannot say. E: And we're not gonna talk about today. Nona: Exciting. No, yeah. But I don't think you know me from something else. E: Yeah, okay. No. Cool. I guess it's good summary, indeed. Nona: Yeah. E: So, I asked the people on Insta for some questions about you- or rather, for you. Nona: I'm very curious... E: Yes, you thought we wouldn't get a lot of them? Nona: No! I was seriously thinking: people are going to laugh at me, when he doesn't receive any questions. E: There are *still* some laughing at you, though.  Nona: Ah, yeah. E: No, no, no! But why did you think that? Nona: Yeah, I don't know. No, I'm curious. I think- Yeah... I don't know which questions they would- E: The kind of questions they would ask you? Nona: No. E: Now, I received- Around 200 questions. A lot about topics we're not gonna discuss. The C-word... And a tv series... Nona: Yes. Yes. E: Anyways, someone asked - since you're clearly an actress: 'Did you get any drama education'? Nona: No.  E: No? Nona: I've always done 'Diction' at the music school and stuff like that. E: Ok, cool. Nona: And in high school, I studied Modern- I mean, General Education. There I could pick four optional hours of theatre per week. So I did that. But I never went a 'real' drama school. Even though, I was very much interested, I did choose a different 'direction'. Just to have certainty. Although, I want to act for real in the future. E: Okay, okay, cool, I get that. Which 'direction' did you study in high school? Nona: Human sciences. With cultural education as an option. E: Okay. And 'Diction & drama', I did that too. All through high school. Loved it.  Nona: That's fun, right? E: Yeah, had a blast! Nona: Yeah, it's nice. E: Do you have any hobbies beside that? Since I received questions about youth movements? I think some people of *your* youth movement asked me questions? Is that possible?  Nona: I don't know, tell me their names. E: I'm not going to. But you're in a youth movement? Nona: Yes, yes. I'm in the 'Chiro'. E: Okay. Apparently you're playing a 'De Mol' (= 'The Mole') game at the moment? Nona: Ah, yes, we're playing 'De Mol' right now. [A popular reality game tv show]. I've seen * and she wanted to know who my 'mole' was. E: Okay! Nona: I'm not... going to say that... That wouldn't be good... If I already revealed my 'mole'. E: Sounds very logical. Ah, here. Let's ask this question to be done with it, it's been asked a lot: 'Are you single?' Nona: No, no, I have- I have a partner. E: Okay. Is this something that can be revealed to the public, otherwise I'll cut this part out? Nona: Yeah, of course, that's totally okay. Doesn't matter that much. E: No, that's usually something I ask beforehand. But I forgot. Not everyone likes to talk about relationships. Which I get. Been with your boyfriend for a long time? Nona: Yes, almost two years now. E: Wow, solid! Cool. Nona: Great, huh? We're doing well, right? E: Yeah, you go! Fantastic! Here, other people who are interested in your hobbies: 'Did you ever dance?' Nona: Yes, I did. I've done a lot- a lot in my life. I did dance, Chiro... Now not much extra... E: Dance, Chiro, music school... Were you one of those kids in primary school, whose week was filled to the brim? Nona: Yes, indeed. I did some sports too. Yet, every two years, I got bored and changed to something else. E: I'm laughing, but I was exactly the same. I've done- What did I- Tennis, hockey, volleyball, golf. I did a lot. Nona: Same, every time something different. E: What's your favorite? The one you really loved doing? Nona: Dancing, I did the longest. Still love doing it. I don't really do it anymore in a fitness or something... Always been the most fun. But I did every sport you'd ever imagine. For example, horseback riding. After a few weeks, I thought 'no'. 'No thanks!' At least I tried it. Oh god... I don't even know why. I don't like horses anyways. Still... Wanted to do it. Probably since my friends did it. E: Just checking where the hype of typical 'horseback girls' came from? Nona: Exactly. Didn't get it! E: Honestly... I don't get it. In movies, it always looks so cool. A man on a horse. Yet, in real life? People laugh if you say: "I do horseback riding". Nona: A 'horseback girl'. E: Although, it's fucking cool in movies. At least I think so. Nona: I think so too. Yet, it's not my thing. E: Prince Charming on his white horse, must've said the same thing, right? "I'm going to my riding lessons". People laugh. Still, everyone wants a Prince Charming. Nona: Yes! E: You said you wanted to be- You didn't get any drama education, but you want to act in the future? Do you have international ambitions, something in foreign countries? Hollywood, for example? Is that the dream? Or do you want to stay in Belgium? Nona: I would be happy already if I ever succeeded in Belgium. E: Yeah, I thought- My question was all over the place. Since everyone would like to succeed here, right? Nona: Yes, but- I'm not that fluent in a lot of languages! Not my greatest strength. I might be able to do it, but then I'll probably keep thinking: 'Is this correct?' or 'How should I say this?' I would get sick due to stressing too much! So I don't know if that's in my future. E: And are there any productions in Belgium, where you thought: 'Cool, I want to act in that?' Because I- There have been recent movies like 'Patser' and all that. I was really impressed. 'That's from Belgium?! That's fucking cool! So good!' Nona: Yes... E: Has there been a recent project, where you wanted to say the same thing? 'Wow, that's really cool to join'? Nona: Yes, right now, for instance 'De Dag', 'De Twaalf', ... Those kind of shows are great. If I could play in a series like that, I would be super happy. Yeah, those things certainly interest me... Super fun. E: Funny coincidence, I've interviewed one of the actors of 'De Dag' - Nabil - for a new Netflix series. Nona: Really? E: Yeah. Honestly, I was a bit starstruck in the beginning. My first question was really... bleh! I stumbled over my words. I hope they'll edit it to make it seem more spontaneous. Exceptionally friendly dude, by the way! Seriously.  Nona: Yeah? E: Every time- That's- For example, we're seeing each other for the first time. We're 'meeting'. In a way. It's a risk every time. Because you don't know... How someone really is. You never know. You see an online persona, someone in a series, or whatever, it's always... Hard to tell... how they'll be in real life. Nona: Certainly in a- You know their character isn't real, but still, if you meet them in real life, you keep thinking that they'll be somewhat similar. E: That's- Nona: It is. E: Indeed, indeed. Nona: Weird, huh? Yes. E: Do you think it's difficult for a lot of actors? Like, for instance, Game Of Thrones. Have you seen that? I don't know if you did. But the actor playing King Joffrey, a boy who's gotten hate in the show from episode one, received a lot of hate *in real life* too. Nona: That's weird, huh? E: Do you think that happens a lot? Nona: With 'Thuis' too, if they do something in the soap, I've heard that they get verbally attacked on the street. I didn't get that. My character gets a lot of hate, but I haven't gotten any of that, fortunately. E: Not in real life? Nona: No, but it happens often, you know, people really think you're like that... I've struggled with it, though. That if I go somewhere, I want to show *even more* that I'm different from my character. E: Okay. So you're faking a personality right now? That you-  Nona: Oh, no! No, no, no, I'm not doing that. But yeah... E: I'm just joking. Nona: Imagine. No. E: I know that. Do you experience difficulties in separating the art from the artist? Not only acting, but music too? For example, 'Justin Bieber is awesome' and then every bit of his music is awesome? Or 'I don't really like that artist, so his music is bad'?  Nona: No... E: No? Nona: No, I don't have that... It's not because they put out a bad song... If they produce a bad song, even if it's a good artist, I'll still say it. Then, then... Yeah... E: No, okay, alright. Are you a 'Belieber', by the way? Nona: No! E: No?  Nona: No, not really no. E: I am, that's why I'm asking. Or actually, I was more of a 'Belieber' during 'Purpose' and now with the new album... That's why I asked you, because I really *wanted* the album to be good. And then- Nona: Do you have that experience? Or do you separate it? E: The moment I heard the question for the first time - I've used it multiple times in my podcasts, it's an interesting question - I actually had to think... 'Am I listening to the music or the artist?' Am I- As... With someone like 'Russ' - a rapper that gets plenty of hate, the rap world hates the dude or idk - it might be easy to say "Fuck him and his music", while you could still hate the artist and like his music. Or love a song. So I never said 'Fuck that dude', but it made me think: 'Okay, do I listen to the music or the artist?' Nona: I don't have that. E: No? Nona: No. Great right?  E: Cool. Super, even. Nona: But I really don't have an artist that I'm crazy about. I listen to various genres, so I've never experienced that. E: Even better! Nona: Great, huh? E: Nice, nice. Someone asked to talk about social media. A topic I often explore in my podcasts. But... I don't want to drag it out. Since people made me aware of that fact. However, it's still an interesting topic and certainly for someone in a position like yours. Who gets a lot of attention on the socials. How do you deal with that? Do you feel like there are a lot of eyes on you? 'I should be careful of what I post'? How do you feel about it? Nona: I have... mostly... I'm like... There are people who always take good pics,  everything they post is amazing, and I'm like: 'I can't!" I want to try, but I don't know how! Someone told me I should do more with my social media, ask more questions, stuff like- E: Engagement with your audience? Nona: Yes! Things like that. But most of the time, I'll think of the people in my small town, who will laugh at me if I try to do that! Even if I do it as fancy as the others. I- I- I want to, but I don't seem to succeed! E: I get that. I have- What I personally- Last time, I saw on your profile that you sometimes - since I put it in my story for the questions - have beautiful, serious pictures. The one in black-and-white? Fucking cool! Because of you, I've posted a similar picture.  Nona: Really?! E: Yeah, it's *really* difficult for me. Sorry, I can't keep my face straight. I laugh all the time. If the photographer asks me: 'Give me a serious look.' I can't! Nona: Yeah. E: Do you have the same? Can you keep a straight face in front of the camera? Nona: I try to, because I keep thinking about how the pictures might turn out. E: So you have the goal in mind? Nona: I do. I laugh too, though, but I try to stop it. E: What you said about the people in your town: they might think it's weird if you're into social media... But it's not a secret anymore that you've... acquired some level of fame, right? So isn't posting on your socials considered normal? More accepted? Nona: Yeah, maybe... Yet, I still don't know what to do. I'm not good at that! I don't know *what* to post. Or something. Yeah, I should research that... E: Searching what you want to do. Nona: Yes. E: Okay, nah. Okay! A deep question... You don't have to have an answer. I wouldn't even know how to answer this myself. 'If you could turn back time, is there something you would change? What you did?' Heavy, huh?! Nona: Yes, never thought about that. E: Maybe to this morning, then I could ask Nabil the first question without stuttering. That's it. Nona: But yeah... What could I change? No, actually... If you do something wrong, I still think you learned a lesson. I couldn't think of something. Maybe later, when this is done. Not now. E: Like 'Ah, shit, shouldn't have said that'? Nona: Yes, indeed. E: I have the same feeling with a tv program that will be released soon. I totally forgot I filmed that. It's about... It'll be clear, when it appears online. But I totally forgot that I filmed it. I wasn't thinking then about the things I said and what they'll do with it. Not that I said mean things, but personal stuff. And then suddenly, you realize that it'll appear online. Literally everyone could see this. That's crazy. Maybe I shouldn't have said this now, but when it gets released. In a clear way. But I get what you mean. Like 'shit...' Nona: I have that *often*. Or when you were little, during fights, not knowing what to say until you're done. "Ooooh, I could have said that!" E: That moment. That moment! When you're in your bed and think: "Shit! That's it!" Nona: And it's a good one!? "Oooooh, I should have said this!" E: Usually the comebacks you see in movies. "If I had said this, it would've been a movie scene". Some time ago, I saw an online video about a so-called UFO. Every so often, there is always a video circulating.Always fucking vague, I don't know why we still don't have high quality cameras to capture a UFO in detail. But someone here is asking: 'Do you think there's life beyond Earth?' Nona: On the one hand, I don't think it's possible. On the other hand, we can't be the only living things that exist. E: Why do you think it's *not* possible? Nona: Yeah... yeah, I don't know.  E: Because we haven't seen it?! Nona: Yes, it would be a coincidence if we're the only living things, but on the other side I think- I mean, I don't believe the vague UFO images. I *really* don't believe that. But I mean... Some other life forms, not aliens or stuff like that. E: Rather some kind of microbes that live somewhere? Nona: Yes. E: Okay. Nona: Yeah, things like that. You? E: So... not something with the same brain capacity as us? Living the same way?  Nona: I think it's- I think- Yeah, not at the moment. If it does exist, then I would- Ah yeah. I don't know. Difficult. What do you think? E: Of course, it's all speculation! I can't say: you're wrong! What the fuck do I know? Nona: Yeah, nah. E: That's why I think it's interesting! But it's weird to assume that we- Do you know those videos were they start with 'the Earth' and then zoom out? The Earth compared to the sun. The sun compared to this, this and this. When you realize: 'WTF, how fucking small is Earth, how fucking small are we?' Then I can't imagine that in the whole entire universe, we're the only ones. Nona: It can't be. E: With the same intellectual level as we are. Nona: Ah, yeah... E: Crazy to think about it. Weird, right? Only two o'clock and we're already theorizing. I think it would be cool if... That's something I want to experience:  the first interaction with extraterrestrial life. If that ever happens, that would be phenomenal.  Nona: That would be... wow... E: That's probably something that would bring together humanity. Realizing that we, as humans, are one. We have to- There are others out there. I don't know...it's... By the way, there are a lot of compliments in here. About you. About your acting. I'll send them to you. They're adorable. Nona: Aaawww... Thank you! E: Something I forgot to ask you: you said you've done Human Sciences? So follow-up question: What are you studying right now? Are you a student? Nona: Yes, I study 'Remedial Education'. E: Okay, why that choice? Nona: I studied 'Criminology' last year in Leuven. But... Yeah, I think it's a shame, but I simply... Don't. Study. E: Okay. Nona: Seriously, I can get really angry at myself, but I don't do anything for school. If I get an assignment, then I'll start it at the due date. I want to change, but I can't. So I didn't do anything that year, still had loads of fun. E: As you should! Nona: So now I do 'Remedial Education'... And there... I have the end trajectory of 'Applied Juvenile Criminology'. Still in the same field and yet, the studies are far more interesting. I think it's - I'm *so* happy I changed. Oh yeah, really, I am. I need that, knowing what I'm studying for. I didn't have that in 'Criminology'. Now, in 'Remedial Education', everything we learn there, I know why. There are goals, why we learn it. I can remember the materials better. E: So, what's the goal exactly? Do you have an idea what you want to be later on? Nona: No.  E: No? Nona: I still want to be an actress. If it doesn't happen, then I don't know what... E: Yes, yes. Nona: Actually, within the 'direction' I study, almost every job is... somewhat interesting. I could be happy in a lot of jobs, I guess. E: Okay. Yeah, I'm asking in detail, because there are people listening to this podcast, who will have to make a choice in one or two years about what to study. That's why it's always interesting to ask a student- Nona: I would like to say something! For me, the exams are easier now, but you'll have way more work in university college than university. Since it seems easy, the way I told- E: No, no. Nona: You'll have to work harder in university college, more assignments, but for me, the exams are just easier now. My study has a six-week-system. [New modules with finals every six weeks]. So less tough. That's better for me. I can remember more. In short, I'm working harder for school. Not to minimize- E: No, no, no. Nona: As if I don't do anything... E: What you said about the purpose, why you study those topics. What the goal is of a certain class. Is it because they are less abstract graphs or something? Or literally: 'this class is named...' I don't know which classes you take, but that it's... Nona: No, there are similar classes to those I had last year,  but... Just... What we learn, is way more specific. Less 'general'. In uni, we had 'History’. I get the importance, but you don't do anything with that, later on. Now, when we have 'Psychology', those are exactly the things we'll apply. Useful for the future. E: Okay, super. Super. Now a question, that could piggy back onto the previous topic. A girl - also an actress - asks: 'Would you drop out, if you got a role,  where the combination studying-acting isn't possible?' Nona: Yeah, I thought about that.  E: Thought about it? Nona: I got lucky before, I was able to combine both. I don't always have to be in class. Self study is achievable. On my own. If attendance is not required, naturally. So yeah... I've thought... That's really... You have to think long and hard about that. Then I might think: 'That's my dream!'. But afterwards, when the series or project is done, I've got nothing. I didn't do drama school either. I wouldn't have a diploma. E: You have to have a back-up, right? Nona: Hopefully, you can keep going. If not too much time passed by, I think you can go back to school? I hope so. I think I would, if I know I can come back to where I left off. I would. E: Okay, nah, cool. I guess people our age, who do something creative, might think a lot about dilemmas like that. Nona: Yes. E: They say the same thing. That they would like to finish their studies, but if the opportunity of a lifetime arises... I get that. I had a good question, but I scrolled past it. Quite a few people are asking the same thing. I once posed this question to someone during a podcast and now it keeps coming back. They ask: "If you had to describe yourself in one word..." "What would that word be?" One word is not much. Someone else is asking three words. Let's say three words. That's such a yearbook question. Nona: Questions you need to answer often and I still don't know the answer to them. E: You should have it ready in your head. Nona: Always be prepared. E: That's like: "What's your positive and negative quality?" I never know! Nona: Yes, honestly, negative - no problem. But positive? E: Really bad, right? Quite a few people feel that way. "I'm bad at this, at this." "And now something positive?" Nona: "Euh, yeah..." Nah, I am... I think... Usually... Spontaneous. E: That was very spontaneous of you! Nona: Should it be a deep answer? No, right? E: No. Nona: Friendly. And... Two, is that enough? Or still going for three? E: Thats... You may stop at two, for me. Nona: I can say a lot of negative stuff. E: We'll try and keep it positive. Nona: Lazy... E: Nah, let's be positive! Some questions make me wonder... Funny, though! "What do you think 'week animals' (= mollusca) do in the weekend?" Okay... The same person as the funny question, but this one is important for me. I often have a discussion about the topic, with my mom. "What's your favorite chips flavor?" Nona: Super bad, but I only like paprika chips. E: Paprika, I can live with that. Salt is the most boring variant there is. Sorry to those who prefer salt... Nona: Yeah... E: You like that too? Nona: I could eat it. Yet, if I have had to choose, of course I'll go with paprika!  E: How can I stop this podcast... ? No, no. Nona: Paprika, no doubt about it! And you? E: I like plenty of variants. There aren't many I don't like. That's why I think: there are so much flavors. A world of choices. Large shelves. Filled with options. And then you go for salt?! Nona: Yeah... But I meant, not- At parties, for example, you can't go wrong? E: Fact. Big chance that people go for any chips, if they wanted to. Most of them will. Nona: That's important. E: True. My tactic in the past, when going on a bus trip or camp or school trip - I don't know what, I took chips with me that nobody would like, so I could eat it all by myself. Nona: You liked them yourself? Otherwise, that's not clever. E: I'm not a picky eater. I could eat salt chips. I just think if you have the choice, then why go for that? Yet, there are still people who go for basic. I get that. That happens. So, Pringles - Sour cream and onion. The smell alone, people hate it. I love it. Your face! Nona: Never tried it, but I don't know if I want to. E: Yeah, I love it, it's great. Quite a few who hate it. Nona: With so many flavors, once you open the bag, I'll... It can smell *so* bad. E: When I was little and tried to hide my chips from my parents, I would put the bag behind the sofa. Then my parents would enter: "Are you eating chips?" Nona: Chips is one of the hardest foods to hide. E: The crunch is too loud. Nona: Opening the bag... Yeah, then it'll be too late. E: Exactly. Again, hobby questions. I don't know... How many do you have? Did you put pics of it online? You seem to like skiing? Nona: Yeah, yeah, yes, the most fun one. E: Okay.  Nona: It's amazing.  E: How long have you been doing it? Every year... ? Nona: From age four. E: Cool! Me too. Same. Nona: Yes, fun. E: Did you ever do Austrian skiing school? Or with- Nona: No, always Flemish instructors. E: Okay. Nona: I think it's- If you ever feel bad about yourself, go skiing! You can't think about anything else, because you have focus on so many other things:  not falling, not crashing, following the right path. You can't concentrate on anything else. The perfect solution when feeling bad. E: I agree completely. Why I asked about the Austrian ski school... As a three or four-year-old little guy, in a ski school filled with all German speaking children... Nona: I did it once when I was little. Bad, huh? E: I couldn't handle it. E & Nona: I cried so much! [said at the same time] Nona: Yes! Bad right?! E: Yeah. But It's just- I mean, you can't ski, can't talk to others who can't ski either. Everyone is talking, you don't know what they're saying, 'are they talking about me?' Nona: You go to the lessons to learn things, but you can't understand what they're teaching you! E: Exactly! Then they suddenly said: "Go into a pizza shape! Let your skis touch like this!" First, I was just copying it with my hands. Then he skied backwards to show the shape, but backwards. Just a point! So I turn, go backwards too. The instructors go ballistic, they were angry at me. What do you do, as a small child? Nona: Fortunately, I just did it once. You don't really learn from them, right? E: Good for you. Indeed. I've got another question. Separately. You've got a boyfriend, so maybe it doesn't apply to you. But I've had fun on Tinder, recently. I get some funny pick up lines on the regular. Did you have a Tinder profile?  Were you ever active on it? Nona: No, never. E: Okay. Nona: I saw my friends' profile, just for laughs. But I really don't know how it works. E: The funny thing is, everyone does it for the laughs. They'll send a message, because 'it's just a Tinder match'. If everyone does it for fun, then we're still going about it in a serious way? Nona: Yeah... Do you have it? E: I have it. I just don't send a lot, just here for the pick up lines. I'm exactly the person I bitched about before: doing it for the fun. Nona: Do you start or the other person? E: I've never send anything myself. I would want to, though, since it's a good topic for a video or something. Just recently, I asked for pick up lines, so I could use them. But I haven't gotten the time to do it. In the meantime, I just answer to the messages they send me. Still nice. So you weren't a fanatic Tinder user, before? Nona: No, really, never. I wouldn't know how to use it. I've seen the process on a video, or something. Yet... E: Do you believe that... relationships formed through Tinder, could be good? Nona: Yes, I do. I think so. E: I think so too! There is always such a stigma surrounding it. Nona: That's not true, because if you go on a date, you still get to know each other? E: See? That's the answer I would say too. Nona: It's still a thing: 'Where did you guys meet?' 'Tinder'. Then everyone laughs at you. I think a lot of people make up stories. E: Make up different things. 'Yes, in the library.' Nona: 'What should we say?' E: See? Like that! Where did you met your boyfriend? Nona: We've been classmates since primary school. But I didn't really know him. Now- No, I mean, two years ago, he was also a 'Chiro' leader... E: So... Tinder? No, no. Okay, we've been talking for a while now. Is there something you would like to - Wow, my voice. Stuff you'd like to say? What you thought about recently? Something people should know? What people should know... About you or about life? Wisdom to share? Nona: No, don't have that. E: 'I don't have wisdom'. Nona: No, but I was- Before this conversation, I thought about how awkward I was going to be. E: No, of course not. Nona: Honestly, it takes a while. Fortunately, you're alone. But in group? I'm very uncomfortable, very quickly. It takes a while before I can be myself. I get so angry at myself. "Just be yourself" and then it doesn't happen. It takes so much time. I really get annoyed at that. E: Were you able to be yourself now? Nona: Yes, yes. If it's one person, I can. With a group, however... E: Can I be honest? I never told this. I'm exactly the same. People always think I'm super smooth. I'm only outgoing when I can talk one-on-one. It's easier. Nona: Right? E: Yes. Put me in a group and I certainly don't stand out. I'll wait and see. I'll try to read people. Who would laugh with this and that? And then I might talk. I won't be the loudest screamer. Nona: No, that's... Yeah... It might even happen that, in a group, I'll never be truly myself. Then I think- I don't know- It's not the people- No, probably is, but I don't know what's stopping me. That's really super... crazy, actually. When I finally can be myself, I think people think: 'I want to be the same. Speak my mind.' It has to develop, though. E: I feel you. Completely the same. It still happens with the people I know. I've had great one-on-one conversations with them. Yet, when they're together in a loud group, I still struggle. 'I know these people, they're my friends. I can talk to them.' Then trying to shout something in that group? Still... 'I'll keep quiet'. Nona: So crazy. Especially when they're all immediately themselves, from the first second. Loud and all that. Respect. I would love to be the same. But that makes it harder. 'Shit, I wouldn't dare to...' 'I don't know what to say' E: Indeed. Indeed. I feel you. I think a lot of people have this, we're not the only ones. Nona: No, and I think that, when you get older, it will probably pass. E: I think so too. You'll care less and less about what people think, after a while. Focussing more on people where you truly can be yourself. Okay, what a nice touch, to end the podcast on. Nona: Right? E: Super. I would like to thank you for stopping by. Is there-  'Stopping by', I say. Quotation marks. Are there accounts where they can follow you? Something you're doing? Where you'll post stuff? Nona: No, I'm not doing anything. I'm mostly focussing on school. E: As you should. Nona: And, yeah... the rest, not really... Bad, right? E: Instagram @nonajanssens? Nona: Yes! E: TikTok? Nona: No! E: No TikTok? Nona: I have it, but I don't use it. I've posted one video, where people- I'm in it too. I've got a lot of videos in which people fall. Coincidentally, I'm always the one filming it. E: Okay. Nona: And I've mixed them together. Everyone's falling. That's not really me. No dance video or something. E: No TikTok dancing? Nona: But I love watching stuff. E: Yeah, no, there are- Nona: So much fun stuff. E: The hours fly by if you scroll, that's crazy. Nona: Indeed. Sometimes I think 'Oof', but sometimes things are so funny. I have so much fun with that. E: Sometimes you think: 'People share too much on this app'. I feel you. Nona: That's true. E: I've said it too many times in a short period of time: 'I feel you'. I never say that. But 'I feel you', so... So, Nona Janssens, on Instagram and Twitter? You use that? Nona: Yes. E: Perfect. Thank you very much. Oh shit, I forgot, I have to give a Twitter shoutout! I'll do this quickly. You've probably seen it. So, one of the retweets. Follow and retweet the tweets @gossipguypodcast, if you ever want a shout out. The shout out of this week is 'Astrid', '@Houdjou'. Thank you for listening, Astrid. Thanks for talking to me, Nona! Nona: You're welcome! E: Until next Monday! Peace! Nona: Bye! E: Now I can stop the recording.

I’m a secret (read: out and proud) Belieber and there are absolutely no words to describe how excited I am about new music.

Purpose is one of my favourite albums of the last decade.

And his YouTube docuseries looks beautiful and he’s so cute and he’s obviously gone through some hard times.

I cannot wait. 2020 is going to be great if he’s starting it off.

[winehaux]

harrie really did the most with this album. Here’s the reaction no one asked for (I wrote this when his debut album was released & I’m laughing so hard bc I literally don’t even remember hearing it for the first time)

Meet me in the hallway: Sounds like something out of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” album. This could def be the sixth song to this album tbh...  

Carolina: ... this kinda sounds like the beginning of the George Lopez theme song.. the sound of it. OH SHIIIIIT. k I’m listening to the chorus now. WHAT WHO IS THIS GIRL AND WHY IS IT NOT ME. LALALALALALALALLA. nicE. 

Two Ghost: the drums sound cool...nice and mellow. AHHh... soothing almost. his voice sounds like honey (I know this is the haylor song). This is really nice. might be my fave. Wait... “... we’re just two lost souls swimming...” & “... we’re just two ghosts standing...” sound a little similar. It sounds similar to Pink Floyd but the meaning of the lyrics are completely different. I don’t know how I feel about this part. Still, this might really be my fave.

Only Angel: Before I play this, I feel like I should warn y’all that I will be pausing a bit. I have heard good things about this so I’m just mentally preparing myself beforehand. HERE WE GO. k is that a gospel choir? no... just sounds. ok I feel like I’m on the star wars ride at Disneyland... i paused it bc it was already too much for me. WHATTTTTTTTT.  HARRY THE SCREAM MY SUN. BROKE HIS FUNGER KNOCKING ON HER DOOR COME TO MY DDOOR IT OPEn. TEH SDCREAMS I CANNOT BELIEB. SHES AN ANGEL. I CAN PERFECTLY SEE HIM PERFORMING THIS SONG MY SUN/SON. LOB HIM. BITTTTH LET ME BE YOUR  ANGEL. HOLY FUCKING SHIT I FELT LIKE I WAS IN HEAVEN AND HELL AT THE SAME TIME.

Kiwi: well shit. Just went all in this one. IS HE MOANING IN RHE BACK. IM HAVING UR BABY HARRY I REALLY AM. okay. this is gonna look real nice live. 

Ever Since New York: I've heard this live but I don’t really remember it. Very acousticy (think I just made that word up) ohh i remember it now. This is really nice. I needed this after the last two songs.

Woman: Netflix get that promo. wow. his voice really is something else. WO-WOMEN  N-N I C E! That guitar solo... fuck. This song is really sexy wtf. Fuck man this is really fucking good. Like this is definitely my favorite so far. 

From the Dining Table: The guitar intro is nice. HOLY SHIT HEs SINGING IN RIGHT TO MY EAR I CAN LIKE FEEL IT WTF FBJHDBRVJDFK. It's so intimate. what the hell he really is doing the most y’all. damn, this is depressing. Wow. 

[punjabihoe]

I cannot belieb I am moving alone to yet another city I’ve never been to where I know absolutely no one

[elvnch-blog]

me waving at all of u from a safe distance bc i’m.. terrified,, askdfjghs jkjk !!

hi there !! i’m maren – nineteen, she/her, from the gmt+2 timezone. uhm,, i’m hyperaware that this blog is,, unfinished and empty (( yeet )) but i am Working On It !! in the mean time i’ll put the template thingy from his app and some bullet points abt my mans ezra under the cut, and link his BIO and his STATS (( this page isn’t done,, soz abt it )) disclaimer though; his bio is long. n i know you’re reading this, thinking like ‘ huh...... ok ’ but belieb me – it is long and it is a Mess... ajhfda u may now consider yourself Warned. but enough of this !! i cannot wait to get to know all of u and your amazing muses, so pls don’t hesitate to hmu on here or on discord !! n if you’re like ‘ naah dude, too much work ’ but you still wanna plot n be friends, then like this post n i’ll slide right into your dms !! 

triggers: death

hey, i didn’t know NICK ROBINSON had moved to st. clementine ! oh wait, that’s just EZRA LYNCH. the 23 year old CISMALE is a BARTENDER and rumor has it that HE dreams of MAKING A NEW LIFE FOR HIMSELF. i heard a tarot reader once claimed their card was THE MAGICIAN, which makes sense considering their CHARMING yet DELUDING ways. wonder what this town has in store for them ?

so yeah, this is ezra – his parents figured that mayhaps a child could save their marriage n that’s why he,, exists ?? asjdfa (( spoiler alert; didn’t work out n they got divorced when he was like,, fourteen ))

ig you could say he was spoiled as a child; his parents never let him want for anything. but they fought a lot, and neither of their hearts were really in it to bring up a child, so ezra never got the attention he wanted or the affection he craved, i.e. no one tucked him into bed, no one helped him w his homework, no one held him when he was scared or sick or tired etc.

so what did lil attention starved ezra do, you ask ?? he used his bright head and his charismatic personality to charm people to their knees. once he started school he made friends w all his friends’ parents, and had standing invitations to dinners and family game nights and the like. the attention he didn’t get at home, he sought out elsewhere.

he was like twelve or smthn when he got into sleight of hand magic after falling in love w it while at a magic show, seeing how mesmerized the audience where. he too wanted to drawn people in like that, and make magic happen before their eyes.

in high school he made friends w everyone by telling stories that weren’t lies, just twisted and tweaked to make them prettier and more interesting. he also made a name for himself by pulling out some coins or a deck of cards at parties, making it a side hustle to let people who were sure they’d figured out how he did his tricks put their money where their mouth was.

ezra scored a scholarship to an out of state university and peaced tf out of his hometown. at college his stories got bigger and more golden and felt more like lies, but he earned his in w every crowd and even if someone didn’t know him, they knew off him. 

the first term of his third year, both his parents passed away. none of his friends could recognize the boy he became over the span of those months. they were used to the flashy and eccentric ezra, always smiling and cracking jokes and making light of every situation. so when he didn’t reach out to them, they didn’t reach out to him either.

after the aftermath of his parents’ deaths were sorted out, and he’d declined his university’s offer to come back, ezra decided that he wanted to disappear. his vanishing act took the form of using a chunk of the substantial amount of money left to him by his parents to buy an appartment in an old beach town in england, and a one way ticket out of america.

in st. clementine he got a job as a bartender, and slipped into his old ways of drawing people in w a smile and then wrapping them up in shining stories that weren’t really lies.

tl;dr: ezra lynch is a fake ass hoe w some cheap magic tricks up his sleeve who runs away from his problems and he is in desperate need of a hug !!!!!!

this sucked fr just like,, skim through his stats and bio asdkjfa i’ll see myself out

[tokyoblogs]

April has started in the midst of a pandemic, we cant leave our houses, we cant hug each other, some of us cant visit our parents and will probably have to spend even more months without seeing them in the flesh, and its okay. All that matters right now is for them and us to be healthy. I think that even though this is such a hard time for the entirety of the human race we must remain positive and have a hopeful outlook in life or else we will only get sadder. That’s what i try to do. I try to remain positive, even though i have had my fair share of days where i just cant get up from bed because i don’t have the energy to do so. Light cannot exist without darkness. 

April is also, a beautiful month, the flowers start growing and it starts getting warmer, the sky is clear nowadays and i have started to see swans in the lake, thinking about all the beautiful things the month of April has brought into my life one, a really important one pops up in my mind. April. 

When i joined the BTS ARMY i was a totally different person as the one i am today, obviously people change, and its been 5 years since that, but i think i changed for the better. I became happier. I have always looked for and found refuge in music, at the same time being so invested in this makes me and helps me make friends within the fandom. I still talk to and think dearly of friends i made over 10 years ago from when i was a hardcore Belieber, to the ones i made 8-7 years ago in this website when i was obsessed with hardcore music bands, even though not so often i still keep in touch with them and knowing that so many time has happened and we still talk is amazing. When i joined the bts army i quickly made a friend,April, with whom i met once in one of the first group chats i joined as an ARMY.  We started interacting it became an everyday activity, a part of eachothers day, and we kept on doing so, for years, she told me about her family, i was virtually present during her graduation day, she told me about the day she attended BTS’s concert in her city, i also knew about the moment she got into college and when he got her cute and beautiful blue eyed aussie shepherd dog, Benji. Whom i love dearly. We have shared a lot of beautiful moments together, and that makes me happy. We have also had our sad days and our fair share of heartbreaking stories, thats a part of life, and i am happy she has been here for me the same way i have been there for her. 

I hope and wish wholeheartedly that she has a happy life, full of beautiful moments, and euphoria filled memories. 

I love you wholeheartedly.

#10 - Oak Felder’s Studio: Ariana Grande, You Can Be The Mockingjay, Okay?

The Defender returned once more.  This time he didn’t say a word.  Ariana Grande burst into the room.  “I’m soo sorry I’m late!”

           “Where were you?” Scooter sneered.

           “Scooter!  I had a show!”  She wasn’t putting up with his scolding at this moment, not after he missed her performance.  “You were SUPPOSED to have been there!”

           “I‘ve got bigger problems at the moment.”  He looked over at the open silver egg case containing Taylor Swift’s masters.  “I’m sorry I missed your show, okay?”

           “It’s fine, whatever.  I heard about what happened at the Big Machine offices, I came as soon as my Arianators informed me—Justin, are you okay?”

           “Yeah, I’m fine.  But, she captured my cat.”

           “Tuna?”

           “No.  Sushi.”

           “Oh no!  I mean, oh no if it was Tuna too!  Like, oh no if it was either one.”

           “Any update on Sushi, is she okay?”  Grande asked.

           “No update yet, I’ve been tracking Taylor’s social media accounts looking for a sign.  It just all happened so fast, we were just sitting there and then all of a sudden the Swifties stormed Big Machine Records offices—And well, here we are.”

           “I can’t believe Taylor did that!  I can’t believe she took your cat!”

           “It wasn’t Taylor, actually.  It was one of her Swiftie Soldiers—She used to come to my shows early on.  She managed one of my fan pages even��she used to be a Belieber.”

           “Oh Justin.  I’m so sorry.”  Ariana walked over to Justin and sat down beside him in the gigantic oversized beanbag chair, the chair nearly swallowed her whole.

           “I should have warned you that this chair eats people.”  He said as they fell in close with one another.

           “We’re gonna make Hailey jealous.”  Ariana whispered.

           “Nah, her and I have a high level of trust—We have true love—Nothing can tear us apart.”

           Ariana smiled at him.  “You two are one of my favorite celebrity couples.”  

           Justin smiled back.  “It just really hurts.  I didn’t think it would hurt so much.  It feels strange, she has something that is a part of me, something that I have grown attached to—I need my cat back.  I guess that’s how she must feel about those—”  He pointed at the masters.  “Damn.”

Justin fell silent, then continued, “If she feels anything like I do about Sushi being held captive by someone else, she must be hurting so bad. How does she sleep at night?  It’s no wonder she’s changed.  When you spend time with anything, you grow attached to it. I haven’t even had Sushi and Tuna that long, but I already love them so much.”  He paused.  “There are six albums there.  SIX ENTIRE ALBUMS of her career—Wow.  She must be a wreck inside.  I can’t even imagine how Taylor must feel right now…”

Ariana didn’t know what to say.  She knew he was right.  “It’s just, life gets, complicated Justin, you and I both know that.  This business is really hard, it isolates people, it’s like what Xzibit said in that Dr. Dre song on ‘The business end of this… can turn your friends against you’.”

“There’s just so much going on right now…”  Justin said turning away from her.

           Ariana hugged him, “SO, what IS exactly going on? My Spotters were keeping an eye on some of your Beliebers that were acting out of character when the attack happened.”

           “You were spying on me?”  Justin said pulling away.

           “No!  Justin—” She turned away, then back, “Just checking up on you.”

           He pulled away a little further.  “I just need to be in my own thoughts right now…”

“Okay, I understand.  You’ll get your cat Sushi back, okay?  I promise.” She climbed out of the chair, walked over to Scooter and sat down.  “So, what is this all about?”

“It’s just a lot to explain.”  He replied.

Oak spoke to the room, “Okay I’m going to connect the masters drives and start the Easter Egg track so we can figure out what we’re dealing with here—”

“Wait, maybe we should bring Ariana up to speed!”  Scooter said stopping Oak.

Oak agreed.  “Okay, okay, that’s fine—So, here’s what’s happening—Scott do you want to tell it?”

“No.  I’ve told the story enough.  You’ll do it better justice.”

Oak Felder nodded.  He clicked a button to change the mood lighting.  The lights in the studio dimmed to a low glow.  “Okay, here it goes.  In 1960, Elvis recorded a song completely in the dark, the song was Are You Lonesome Tonight.  His recording engineer, named Bill Porter, was able to remove the Devil from Rock and Roll, The Squares at the time thought Rock and Roll was the devil rising up to take over the world.  Bill was able to isolate it to an old reel to reel tape, which he labeled Easter Egg and signed his name.  Scott here found the Easter Egg tape just before he discovered Taylor Swift at the Bluebird Café in Nashville—Scott borrowed an old antique tape player to play the tape back as Taylor wouldn’t stop obsessing over the idea of an Easter Egg song being on the tape.  When they played it back, they heard nothing; they listened to it a second time, and got some kind of craving to listen to music.  The first piece of music they listened to, Taylor playing guitar, sounded like the best song they had ever heard.  They started recording, not realizing the Bill Porter Egg track was still playing through a set of studio speakers.  When they played the song for friends and family, everyone went bananas for it. Too long don’t read, they put in all her masters like sugar in candy and got everyone hooked on Taylor Swift’s music. Something changed when she released her Reputation album and now we think she’s possessed by the Rock and Roll Devil and is trying to take over the world.  Does that sum things up?”

“Yeah, that’s pretty much where we’re at.” Scott replied, satisfied.

“I’m not entirely sure I follow, who’s Bill Porter, again.”

“Bill Porter was to Elvis what I am to you, Ariana Grande.  Behind every great song and talented artist is a great sound engineer and producer.  Their stories largely go untold.  Everyone knows Elvis but very few people know who Bill Porter was.”

Ariana nodded.  “This makes it sound like she’s only famous because of this sound.”

Scott stepped back into the conversation.  “No.  She’s famous because she’s a fantastic songwriter.  When I first saw her perform at The Bluebird Café, she was—Still is, just amazing.  There’s no doubt about that.  But she’s taking over the world because this sound made the songs addictive beyond the usual on repeat symptom you see when you hear a normally addictive song.”

“Yeah.”  Oak agreed. “This takes her ordinarily addictive songs and makes it so you basically cannot stop listening to them.  It’s like falling in love with someone.  Where you obsess over them, you can’t sleep, you can’t eat, and you can’t function without them in your life.  It does that with Taylor’s music and makes you do anything for more and anyone who crosses her, crosses you.  You become jealous, overly zealous, a warrior on her behalf.”

“Can I put this in my music?” Ariana asked.

“I’m gonna say no that.  We don’t really know what we’re dealing with here.  This sound, could literally be The Devil.”  Oak voiced, slightly concerned at her question.

“Well, okay, can I be The Mockingjay then?”

“This isn’t The Hunger Games!”  Justin sat up in the giant beanbag chair.  “There is no Mockingjay.  This real life we’re talking about—These are real people’s lives that are being effected.”

Editor: AFFECTED!

Writer: Sorry.

Editor: Continue on.  Just remember what you learned in English class.

Writer: I actually failed 11th grade English.

Editor: Well that explains everything.

Writer: I RETOOK it over the summer and got an A-... I was going through a hard time, 11th grade was hard okay!  I had to work through some stuff.

Editor: Ohhh look at you with your A- in 11th grade summer do over English class.

Writer: Shut up....  let’s just get back to the story.  Stop being a bully.

Editor: I’m not I’m being an editor... I just got a little carried away... I’m sorry about that.

Writer: It’s fine, let’s just keep going.

“…lives that are beings affected.”  He paused.  “At least I think it’s real life.  Maybe we’re some sort of story and someone else is writing our lives, and others are reading them.  Like The Never Ending Story.”  Justin mused.

Scott picked up where Justin left off, “We just don’t know what this is exactly... okay?  So until we figure out what is going on here, everyone just calm down okay?  You all need to calm down.”

“Okay Taylor.”  Ariana added.

“This isn’t funny, this is serious stuff!”  Justin shouted out.

Oak pushed another button and the lighting changed, a sense of calm overtook everyone’s thoughts, “Listen we need to hear this tape okay?  So we can figure out what we’re dealing with… Once we analyze it we can better understand it and then make informed decisions from that point in time, and, Ariana, if we figure this all out, and some big war has to be fought, you can be the Mockingjay, okay?”

“YES!”  She exclaimed.  “I get to be Katniss Everdeen!  Thank u, next order of business... let’s listen to the tape.”
