link is not in my bio, but here instead.

naya, yamen, and their family haven't been getting any traction on their gofundme, and this sweet girl and her brother deserve a second chance at life.

naya's father ayman is an arabic teacher who works at an international american school in gaza. he loves his children more than anything. in 2009 he applied for asylum in norway, and was denied because 'gaza is safe'

the frustration ayman is feeling, wanting to help his children but being unable to because of extensive red tape, is completely understandable. israel is doing their best to make this as difficult as possible for everyone who wants to leave, and the only people who can make a difference right now are folks like you, who can help them directly.

you can help them, so please do. donate to their gofundme if you have means to skip a treat, and regardless, please share this post and press the buttons to boost engagement. we can get them out.

Arwa reached out to me to help share her fundraiser. She is urgently raising money to help evacuate she and her 5-person family from Gaza to Egypt. She is almost halfway to her goal at kr223,990 NOK raised out of kr500,000. Let’s help her get all the way there by sharing and donating, and if you can’t donate, please still share!

I orgnize this fundrising on behalf of Arwa Abudawaba who i know and want to help to get her family out of Gaza. For more informastion her instagram is: @arwadwaba

I am Arwa from devastated Gaza, and this is a picture of my beautiful family. Just 5 months ago, I had a father, two brothers, and a very beautiful home that we bought just 10 months before the war. My beloved father passed away just days before the war after a 4-year battle with brain cancer. Then the occupation decided to completely demolish the intelligence towers, so we were forced to flee from our home multiple times in search of safety. Our home and the entire neighborhood were destroyed.

On November 17, 2023, my brothers Mohammed and Mahmoud were martyred. Mahmoud, the handsome one, was 19 years old in his second year of university. Mohammed, the brave one, was 33 years old, a father to two daughters, Nahla and Naya, who like the moon. I wish I could have hidden them in my heart.

On the second day after their martyrdom, we were forced to flee to the south through the so-called safe road claimed by the occupation, amid our tears that hadn't dried yet. We have nothing but the clothes on our backs, and we couldn't even protect ourselves from the winter cold.

We were separated from Noha and Naya, the daughters of my martyr brother Mohammed, and his wife. Our family is now scattered, some in the north and some in the south. Only my mother, my younger sister Nebal, and I remain. My mother suffers from chronic diabetes, and since the martyrdom of my brothers, her health has been deteriorating, with no medical care or basic necessities of life in Gaza.

I never imagined losing my young brothers and being left without support. We lost our father, my brothers were martyred, the occupation destroyed our home and my martyr brother's home, and I lost my source of income and my personal project—I had an online clothing store with $5000 worth of inventory inside the house. I was also deprived of completing the second year of my master's degree and preparing my thesis. We are now homeless and destitute. Everything is difficult now.

So, I ask for your help in raising the funds and travel expenses for six people. To facilitate the evacuation of my family from Gaza to Egypt, I am preparing a GoFundMe campaign to raise $5,000 for each person:

my beautiful mother,

my younger sister Nebal,

my martyr brother Mohammed's wife,

and Noha and Naya, the daughters of my brother.

and me .. Arwa

This means $30,000 to evacuate them from Gaza, not to mention their expenses for living in Egypt, renting a house, and the living expenses for 6 people without a provider.

Help us reunite our family outside of Gaza. Your support, whether big or small, will make a big difference in ensuring our safety. I am grateful for your sympathy and generosity at this difficult time. Please share this link with friends and colleagues. Thank you for standing by us. Help us start our lives anew. Even though there is no life without those we have lost, it is life.

Thank you for your time "

An excerpt from chapter 16 of All That Glitters.

18+ minors DNI.

Naya’s last full day in Germany fell on the day Jude and his teammates were given a day off to rejuvenate after such a physical football match the day before.

Tomorrow morning, she was set to fly out to London to meet up with her family and coaches ahead of Wimbledon. Although she couldn't wait to get the tournament underway and be with her loved ones, as she lay in bed with Jude, Naya took her time, savoring the moment.

The time could’ve been no later than 7am as Jude pulled Naya’s Naked body against his, wrapping his arm around her waist as they both stared out the window at the sunrise.

Naya could feel Jude's heartbeat against her back, a comforting rhythm that she knew she would miss once she left for London. She turned her head to look at him, his sleepy eyes making her smile.

"Good morning," she whispered, pressing a soft kiss to his jaw before getting up so she could head into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

Jude watched her go, admiring the way the early morning light danced on her skin. Sitting up in bed, he let out a yawn as he got up, following in the same path Naya had moments before.

He joined her in the bathroom, standing behind her as she brushed her teeth. Their eyes met in the mirror, sharing a silent conversation as Jude wrapped his arms around Naya from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"I'm going to miss you," he murmured, his warm breath tickling her ear, as he reached for his own toothbrush.

Naya turned in his arms, planting a kiss on his chest before reaching for a robe hanging on the wall next to the shower. Pulling it on, she settled onto the bathroom counter, watching Jude as he brushed his teeth.

Jude couldn't help but smile at Naya's playful gesture, feeling a wave of sadness knowing that she would soon be leaving. Finishing up, he rinsed his mouth and turned to face her, leaning in to give her a tender kiss.

Parting her legs so he could stand between them, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer as their lips met in a sweet, lingering kiss. Naya melted into his embrace, savoring the taste of him.

"I'll miss you too," she whispered against his lips, her eyes locked with his. “But I have one more day here, so let’s make the most of it.”

Jude rested his forehead against hers, his hands untying the rope that held her robe together so he could reveal her bare skin underneath. Naya's breath hitched as Jude's touch sent shivers down her spine. His hands moved with gentle precision, tracing patterns on her skin as he leaned in to capture her lips in another kiss, deeper and more passionate than before.

"I don't know why you put this on to begin with," Jude mumbled as he slipped the robe from Naya's body, allowing it to pool around her as he pulled her body to the edge of the counter, deepening the kiss as their bodies pressed together in a rush of desire.

Lifting Naya from the counter, Jude carried her back to the bedroom, laying her down gently on the bed as their hands roamed each other's bodies, exploring familiar territory with newfound urgency and passion. Their connection deepened with every touch, every kiss, as if they were trying to imprint the memory of each other onto their skin before they had to part ways.

Laying Naya on her stomach, Jude’s fingers gently danced over the reddened marking he left on her ass the night before. The visual working hand in hand with his memory of the night before causing his length to throb with desire.

His touch was both gentle and possessive as he leaned down to press his lips against her skin, leaving a trail of kisses along her spine. Naya arched her back, a soft moan escaping her lips as she felt the heat between them grow.

“Reach back and spread your pussy open for me,” Jude instructed as he settled between her legs, his hands caressing her thighs. Naya's breath hitched at his command, but she didn't hesitate to comply, wanting to give herself completely to him in their final moments together.

As Naya followed his command, she felt a surge of excitement and anticipation coursing through her body. Jude's touch was electrifying as he explored her most intimate parts, his fingers expertly teasing and pleasuring her.

Turning her head to look back at him as he positioned himself at her entrance, Naya's eyes met Jude’s The intensity of their gaze held a myriad of emotions - desire, longing, and a hint of sadness at the impending separation. But in that moment, none of it mattered as Jude slowly entered her, their bodies becoming one as she let out a moan that sent a chill to Jude’s very core.

“You’re so fucking perfect,” Jude groaned as he began to move inside her, the rhythm between them building with each thrust. Naya's hands gripped the sheets, her body responding eagerly to his touch as they moved together in a dance of lust and desire.

Tilting her hips upward Naya met Jude's movements with her own, their bodies moving in perfect sync as they reached new heights of pleasure together. The room filled with the sound of their shared moans and the slap of skin against skin, a symphony of passion.

Leaning down Jude pressed a rather sloppy kiss to the corner of Naya’s lips, his forehead resting against her shoulder as he whispered words of adoration.

“You’re the only one I want, Naya. I’m yours." Jude murmured, his breath warm against her skin as he continued to drive his body into hers with a fervor that spoke of his feelings towards her. Naya's heart swelled with emotion, feeling the intensity of their connection in every touch and every whisper.

As they moved together in a powerful crescendo of pleasure, their bodies intertwined in a dance of intimacy that transcended the physical. In that moment, nothing else existed for Naya and Jude but the shared ecstasy of their union.

As they reached the peak of their passion, a wave of euphoria washed over them, leaving them breathless and spent in the aftermath of their tryst. Wrapped in each other's arms, they lay entwined, basking in the glow of their shared intimacy.

As the sun continued its ascent in the sky, casting a warm glow over the room, Naya and Jude lay entwined. Kissing his lips, she couldn't help but smile against them as she felt his fingers slowly tracing up and down her spine.

Rolling away from Jude, Naya sat up, getting out of bed so she could grab one of his T-shirts and pull it on.

“Why are you getting dressed?” he frowned, making Naya laugh as she joined him back in bed.

“Because I know better, the last time you had a 'day off,' there was someone knocking on your door every ten minutes. I don’t want anyone to catch me with my boobs out,” Naya said, making Jude chuckle as she lifted the shirt to flash him.

“Fair point, but I’ll happily tell everybody to fuck off today,” Jude said as he took her hand, pulling her on top of him so she straddled his lap.

Naya giggled, as she settled on top of him, their bodies fitting together like pieces of a puzzle. She leaned in, capturing his lips in a sweet, lingering kiss before resting her forehead against his. Jude's gaze softened as he caressed her cheek, his thumb tracing gentle circles on her skin.

"You don’t have to tell anyone to fuck off, I’m fine with sharing you, just not with your ex.” Naya smirked.

Jude chuckled at her playful remark, his eyes filled with amusement as he responded. “Are you sure you’re not willing to share?”

“Only if you’re willing to share, too,” Naya replied with a mischievous glint in her eyes, playfully nudging Jude's chest.

Jude let out a laugh, the sound filling the room with warmth. "Fuck no," he said as his hands found the hem of her shirt, raising it to reveal her naked body beneath. "No one is allowed to even look at any of this but me."

“Says who?”

"Says the man who just spent the morning showing who the fuck you belong to," Jude replied.

Naya's breath caught in her throat at the sudden dominance in Jude's touch, a mix of arousal and surprise flashing in her eyes. His grip was firm but not constricting, a clear display of his possessiveness in that moment.

Read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and tears are 50/50 between the story and the weird feeling that Naya Rivera should be here, well into her thirties now, and a serious contender for the screen-adaption's lead role. Like I should be seeing Naya Rivera in the discourse and media conversation and thinking... "OH she is going to eat Ana de Armas UP in that audition."

[siriusly-parker]

(this is for a jjk oc of mine if that is okay!!) her name is inayah nasri (her friends at tokyo jujutsu call her ‘ina’ or ‘naya’). she is egyptian! she has red eyes, dark skin, and long black hair with blonde highlights. she is a 5’10 libra ESFP!! she is studying at tokyo jujutsu because she got in trouble back at home for her curse technique lol. ANYWAY, she loves karaoke, romantic comedies, sanrio, cats, fashion, pottery, and romance books!! she really wants to make friends but she doesn’t want to intrude on the already formed trios/ friendships :( but when you know her, she’s a huge extrovert that wants to do anything and everything with the people she loves!! thank you so much can’t wait to see who you choose! <3

Okok hear me out 😭😭🙏 i feel like she’d be distrusting of the first years because of the way she was treated back home. They seemed like a great trio!! She just didn’t want to barge in their little party.

Being a crazy extrovert, i feel like she’d try (key word TRY) to tone it down. People often thought she was too much, so she needed to give a good first impression and not mess it up. She ends up having small outbursts like raising her hand in class for something stupid or laughing a little too loud or interrupting a conversation. She’d just shut down every time though. Melting on her school chair or just turning her back to the group of friends talking.

The first years thought she was a little weird, sure, but she was nice! Clearly she was just nervous!! One day though, after running away from a pretty embarrassing joke she made (which really wasn’t embarrassing, everyone thought it was hilarious, and Yuuji peed his pants a little ngl), you bump into Yuuta (little harsher than a bump though, quite literally he has to hold you so you don’t fall).

“Are you okay?”

And that’s where the unlikely friendship started. You started hanging out with him more and opening up to everyone. After that, it was easy to just be yourself. You got along well with the other three in your class, but you had to admit, you often opted to hang out with the older group. Maybe it was because of a certain special grade, but who am i to go around telling other people’s secret crushes?

(shy boyfriend x extroverted girlfriend!!! Yuuta would actually be the one forcing you to hang out with the others in the beginning tho. But after it’s all settled, you’d be dragging him along any adventure of yours)

Yuuta is my baby and i love him 😫🙏💗💗💗

Just to be safe yall, trigger warning for: implied cannibalism, mentions of death, implied mentions of extreme violence

But I was thinking of this au for ninjago, and I think some of yall might like it.

So it’s an au based of Lloyd’s oni and dragon side being like separate consciences inside his brain. But very very different.

So it takes place after season 3 but before season 4. And in which in some weird form of magic, Lloyd gets separated into basically a pair of twins. No one is quite how it happened as Lloyd was obviously on a solo mission. But safe to say, that villain probably didn’t make it out unscathed. Anyways, now there’s well Oni Lloyd and Dragon Lloyd. Who surprisingly get along quite well. But the names are gonna be a problem soon….

Anyways, that’s my idea for the background for this. (The dude that managed to dude this is also definitely dead 😔🙏 ) But now onto some cool facts about this au!

The two of them wear matching necklaces, dragon boi is the white side of the Yang and Oni boi is the black side :3

Oni gets hit a lot by dragon for his quite violent nature, but it’s all in good love. Dragon would totally kill someone if they tried to hurt his twin :3

The ninja were honestly so confused when they met up with Lloyd expecting just him, and instead got two of them…. They also tried to kill them XD it took a lot of explaining and attempted murder to get them to calm down.

Morro was also hella confused. Thought when he kidnapped Dragon he was just kidnapping Lloyd. Dude’s life almost died cause Oni tried to murder him again. The ninja had to stop him multiple times in fear of hurting dragon.

Oni and Dragon have Oni and dragon features, but can hide them if need be. Which has let to lots of confusion on everyone else’s side. And by that I mean no one can tell which one is which if they truly want that. The two are some little ass gremlins.

Jokes on yall, Dragon is Aro and Oni’s Cupio AroAce. Dragon just doesn’t date because he of said Aromanticness (which is he is choice) , and Oni just doesn’t think anyone is good enough for him. [This is more of a hc, please don’t get mad at me 😭]

Kai is both Dragon and Oni’s favorite sibling/teammate other than themselves. Naya is a close second. And everyone is extremely jealous of him.

Lloyd is trans in this au, which does sadly mean some unpleasant times for the twins dude to their unhuman sides. Basically mating season for both of them is quite unpleasant. Kai and Naya are the only ones who can touch the two during said time other than themselves.

Dragon honestly likes Wu a lot (though it slowly fades as the show goes on). While Oni basically silently dislikes him. Oni loves their father a lot more than normal Lloyd openly shows in the show. While Dragon loves him just as much as Lloyd actually shows in the show.

Dragon Lloyd actually quite enjoys the goth aesthetic, while Oni boi likes a more traditional style. Which leads to some interesting conversations with people XD

I think that’s about it for now, I do hopes you enjoyed this new au :3

Also feel free to call them Odi, said O-de, and De-de. Odi is Oni Lloyd and De-de is Dragon Lloyd. The reason? Odi comes from the end of Lloyd, o-y-d, I just placed the Y behind the D and got Odi. Also cause I was like, what’s the first letter of Oni? O, what’s the letters after O in Lloyd? Y and D. And I got De-de from just taking the D from Lloyd and Dragon, then simply saying them and putting an E at the end of each D gives you De-de :3

So I hope you like Odi and De-de! Also another quick note on their powers! The twins both have energy and their respective species element.

Okay for real, I’m done. Do hope you enjoyed this au I made! And have fun with it :3 (with credit of course)

January 22

True to his word, on the last night Rahmi is in Sulani, Ukupanipo takes her to the bar he works at.

Naya had helped Rahmi prepare for the night and she still isn't sure about the dress the blonde had picked out for her. It's shorter than she'd like it to be. Thankfully the drinks at the bar, which Ukupanipo gets a discount on, is helping with her nerves. They spend the first few hours just simply talking at the bar and having a few drinks together before Ukupanipo asks her to dance.

Rahmi hasn't danced with someone in years but finds it easily comes back to her. Between the laid back atmosphere of the bar, the drinks and the merman dancing with her, she finds herself feeling carefree and having fun.

The song changes and things seem to being to shift between the pair. The space between them seems to vanish as the music continues, Rahmi is beginning to feel things she hadn't felt in a few years. She isn't sure how to handle it.

"You look amazing tonight." Ukupanipo says quietly. Not that she doesn't always look beautiful and it's not the dress or the makeup that's impacting her look, it's the smile on her face and she seems lighter tonight. It looks good on her.

Rahmi blushes and looks down, which doesn't do much to calm her sudden feeling of butterflies in her stomach - because there's barely any space between them. "Thank you. Naya helped me get ready."

Ukupanipo shakes his head a little and catches her eyes as she looks back up at him. "It's you. It's your aura."

Rahmi is speechless. How does someone respond to that kind of compliment? She gives him a smile. "Can we walk on the beach?"

Ukupanipo leads Rahmi outside and they begin walking slowly along on the beach. She thought Sulani was stunning during the day - at night it's magical. Nothing is said for the first several minutes as they just enjoy the sound of the water and the island night creatures calling to each other. Rahmi starts to feel like she should make conversation, she turns to ask her companion if he prefers cake or cookies - she wants to bake him something at home and send it to him - but she loses her balance.

Ukupanipo is quick to catch her before she can fall. Maybe she shouldn't of had that last glass of wine. Instead of using his support to right herself, she lets herself lean into him for a few moments. It feels nice - to have someone's arms around her again. Someone she actually likes.

"Umm.." Rahmi mumbles, not sure what to say. She feels sudden desire flood through her body and it catches her off guard. "Thanks."

Ukupanipo helps her stand upright and looks down at her. He slowly raises his hand to run his fingers gently through her hair which causes Rahmi to grasp at his tank top and his side. He thinks her ex-husband is a very stupid man for letting the woman in front of him go and not just because of her beauty but because of her heart.

Rahmi is thinking that she just wants Ukupanipo to kiss her. She never thought she'd want that again after what happened with Thomas but it has. She brings her hand off the deathgrip she had on his tank top and gazes at Ukupanipo, she's too scared to try to kiss him. The idea of making the first move scares her almost breathless or maybe she's breathless due to her desire for him to kiss her?

Ukupanipo swallows hard and takes a deep breath. He wants to kiss her badly, especially with that look in Rahmi's eyes but they've both had something to drink tonight and the last thing he wants is for her to regret anything happening between them. She's been hurt and her heart needs to be handled with care.

"We've both have been drinking." He reminds her quietly. He watches her blink and slowly realize what he's saying to her. Before she can even get the thought that he's rejecting her because he doesn't want her in her head, he quickly pulls her close and kisses the top of her head.

That act alone seems to calm Rahmi's heart and she rests her head on his chest. She closes her eyes and focuses on his breathing. She isn't sure what's going on with them, is it just because of the alcohol and the fact that both of them have been without someone for a while or is something more going on with them?

"It's okay, you're okay." Naya assured the young boy with a smile as she looked over the scrape on his hand. As much as she enjoyed the chill, and the holiday spirit in the air, this time of the year typically meant a whole bunch of incidents and more than enough overtime at work. For the past decade and then some more, however, the woman didn't really have anyone to celebrate with, which always meant volunteering. "I'm going to get you a bandaid, okay? And you get to pick one! We've still got plenty, although my all-time favorites are the ones from Inside Out. You get to pick the mood you're in and keep changing it until you're all healed up." She spoke, gently disinfecting the boy's hand and looking over at the person nearby, in hopes that the conversation would distract the ki from the stinging pain. "What about you?" @aurorabaystarter

Guys, I had the weirdest dream. There was a part of it where I found out that Chris had become a stoner (and the owner of exotic pets like tigers) and I sat and had a conversation about it with Naya Rivera - where she said she's glad that he's much more mellow, but she does miss the old Chris.

[szariahwroteit]

Chapter 24 of All That Glitters.

18+ Minors DNI.

Despite Jude and Naya not wanting their relationship to be of public knowledge, it was definitely getting harder to conceal their feelings for each other in public settings.

Although he didn’t want to be rude, Jude paid very little attention to what the woman sitting to the left of him had to say as he watched Naya from across the party.

There were beautiful women all throughout the event, but none of them caught his eye the way Naya did. Her laughter rang like music in his ears, and her smile lit up the room. Jude found himself completely captivated by her every move, from the way she brushed her hair behind her ear to the way she gracefully sipped her drink.

"Did you hear what I said, handsome?" The woman sitting beside Jude asked, leaning into him so she could speak into his ear, her accent thick as she spoke.

Jude was jolted out of his trance, turning his attention reluctantly back to the woman beside him. "I'm sorry, what was that?" he asked politely, trying to mask his distraction.

The woman chuckled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "I was just asking if this is your first time in Brazil. You seem quite lost in thought," she commented, a seductive smile playing on her lips.

Clearing his throat Jude put a little more distance between himself and the woman that sat beside him. As beautiful as she was, it wasn’t her who he wanted.

Feeling eyes on her, Naya looked away from the conversation she was in, her cheeks warming as her eyes met Jude's across the room.

A soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she caught Jude's gaze, causing her heartbeat to quicken. Despite the crowd around her, in that moment, it felt like it was just the two of them in the room. She could see the longing in his eyes, a silent message passing between them.

Jude held Naya’s gaze, a mix of emotions swirling in her eyes - adoration, desire, and a hint of apprehension. She knew they needed to be cautious, but in that moment, all she wanted to do was cross the room and kiss him.

“Are you okay?” Naya mouthed with a smile.

Jude nodded subtly, his eyes never leaving hers. He felt a rush of warmth spread through him at the sight of her, and he couldn't help but return her smile with one of his own.

As the night went on, Jude found himself being asked to take pictures with various guests at the party, a task he was okay with until it was time for Brazilian based pop star Natalia came to take a picture with him.

Before Jude had time to register what was going on, she’d taken a seat in his lap, slinging het arms around him as cameras captured them from every angle.

In a slight panic Jude looked around for Naya, his heart dropping when he saw her making her way out onto the venues balcony.

Excusing himself Jude gently pushed the pop star off his lap and made his way through the crowd, determined to find Naya and explain the situation. As he stepped out onto the balcony, he saw her leaning against the railing, her eyes fixed on the city lights below.

"Naya, wait," Jude called out, his voice carrying a sense of urgency.

Naya turned to face him, a mixture of emotions flickering in her eyes. "Jude, it's fine, we're not even together," she said, refusing to meet his gaze. If she did, she knew her true feelings would show.

As mature as she was trying to be, the fact that another woman was sitting on his lap was enough to make her heart ache with jealousy.

Naya understood he couldn’t have abruptly thrown Natalia off of him, but the fact that women were so comfortable with invading his personal space made her uneasy.

"Naya, it's not. Don't say it's fine when you really don’t feel that way," Jude said as he took her hand into his.

"What am I supposed to say?" Naya asked, finally meeting his eyes. "You're you, and that's never going to change. Regardless of how I feel, women are going to continue to throw themselves at you."

That fact would always remain. He was Jude Bellingham, the world-class footballing heartthrob that everyone seemed to want a piece of.

As a top hundred ranking tennis player, Naya had her own fame and fair share of admirers, but not to the magnitude of Jude. It was something she thought she understood, but seeing it in person was a whole different story.

"That doesn't mean that I want them," Jude interjected, squeezing her hand gently, refusing to let her go.

“And that doesn’t mean that they care,” Naya pointed out. “Jude, you’re a young man with the world at your feet, temptation is-.”

“So now it’s my age?” Jude scoffed as Naya struck a nerve; he absolutely hated when people used age to suggest a lack of control or understanding. In reality, the three and a half years that Naya had on him meant absolutely nothing to Jude.

He knew himself well enough to know that age did not define his ability to resist temptation. It was about respect, loyalty, and commitment, values he held dear regardless of his age.

Naya could see the frustration in his eyes, and she softened her tone. "I'm sorry, Jude. I didn't mean it like that. I just... ."

“You just don’t think I’m mature enough to not fuck around.” Jude sighed in defeat as he let go of her hand.

“Jude, I didn’t say that.” Naya's voice was filled with regret as she reached out to grab his hand again.

“You know what’s mature?” Jude asked rhetorically. “Knowing that if I wanted to, I could fuck my way through Europe and then some, but I understand something’s just aren’t worth it. If my age wasn’t a problem, you wouldn’t have brought it up.”

Naya felt her heart crack as Jude walked away from her without another word, heading back into the party, leaving her standing on the balcony that overlooked the streets of Rio de Janeiro, which seemed to glisten in the night.

She couldn’t keep tears from brimming in her eyes as she watched him disappear into the crowd. The weight of her words hung heavily in the air, and she knew she had hurt him deeply. Naya cursed herself for letting her insecurities get the best of her, for not trusting Jude enough to know that he was different from the stereotypical young athlete.

As she stood alone on the balcony, the sounds of the party fading into the background, Naya realized that she had to make things right. She couldn't bear the thought of losing Jude over a misunderstanding fueled by her own fears.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Naya wiped away her tears as she looked out over the city.

"Naya," a familiar voice said from behind her. Naya turned around to see Jude's best friend, Miles, standing there with a soft expression as he realized she had been crying.

“Jude was upset when he came back inside, so I thought it was best if I came to check on you.” He explained as he came to stand beside her, leaning against the railing.

Naya nodded, grateful for Miles's presence. "I didn't mean to upset him. I let my insecurities get the best of me and I fucked up.”

Miles placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Jude knows you didn't mean it. He’s annoyed but he'll come around. Just give him some time."

Naya nodded, a sense of relief washing over her at Miles's words. "I just hope he understands that I trust him, more than anything."

"I think he knows that deep down," Miles said, giving her a small smile. "Just talk to him when he's ready to listen. He values your opinion more than you know."

“I’m sorry you’re in the middle of this,” Naya sniffled as she carefully dabbed beneath her eyes being careful not to smudge her makeup.

“No worries, Jude is my brother and he really likes you. I’d be a shit friend if I didn’t try and help resolve the situation.” Miles honestly.

Naya smiled weakly at him, appreciating his support in the midst of the turmoil. "Thank you, Miles. I really do care about him, and I just want to make things right."

“I’m sure you will,” Miles said giving her shoulder a squeeze. “But until then, I’m not going to leave you out here crying, come back inside with me.” He said as he raised his arm for her to link hers through.

Naya nodded gratefully, allowing Miles to lead her back inside the bustling party. Jude watched as Naya and Miles made their way back inside, even though she pissed him off with her assumption of him, that fact that he could see she’d been crying tugged at his heartstrings.

As the night went on Jude kept a watchful eye from a distance, he communicated with his friends and his teammates, using both Jermaine and Miles as his means of communication with Naya.

He couldn't shake the feeling of regret for storming off earlier, knowing that he needed to have a calm conversation with Naya to clear the air. He trusted Miles to support Naya in his absence, knowing that his best friend would look out for both of them.

As the night progressed, Jude found himself stood next to Naya, who was engaged in a conversation with Miles and a few other guests. He could see that her eyes were still slight red and puffy from crying, and his heart clenched at the sight.

"Naya, can we talk?" Jude asked quietly, his voice filled with a mix of regret and longing.

Naya looked up, surprised to see him standing there. She nodded, excusing herself from the group and following Jude to a quieter corner of the room.

"I'm sorry, Naya," Jude began, his eyes filled with sincerity. "I overreacted earlier, and I shouldn't have walked away like that."

“I should be the one apologizing, I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions and letting my insecurities get the best of me," Naya interjected, her voice soft but filled with genuine remorse.

Jude reached out and gently took her hand in his, his touch warm and reassuring. "I know we both said things we didn't mean. But I want you to know that I trust you, Naya. And I hope you can trust me too."

Naya looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity and vulnerability in them. She felt a wave of relief wash over her, knowing that they could work through this together.

"I do trust you, Jude," Naya said, her voice filled with conviction. "And I'm sorry for not showing that earlier. I care about you more than I can put into words."

Jude's expression softened, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I care about you too, Naya. Let's not let misunderstandings come between us again."

They stood there, hand in hand, as the noise of the party faded into the background. In that moment, they both knew that their bond was stronger than any insecurity or doubt that may try to wedge its way between them.

As they leaned in to share a tender embrace, the weight of their earlier words lifted off their shoulders. They were a team, stronger together, ready to face whatever challenges came their way.

And as they rejoined the party, hand in hand, their connection felt deeper, more profound than ever before.

After experiencing such heightened emotions, all Jude and Naya wanted was one another. As the party came to an end, Jude rushed to say his goodbyes before whisking Naya away, eager to have some time alone with her.

They kissed like horny teenagers in the back of the car driving them back to their villa, completely ignoring the teasing coming from Jermaine and Miles, who sat in the seats closer to the front of the sprinter truck they drove in.

Their passion ignited as they reached the privacy of their villa, shedding their inhibitions and letting their love for each other consume them. Leaving Jermaine and Miles to their own devices, Jude carried Naya up to their room.

Not able to keep his hands off her as they stumbled through the door. The room was filled with the soft glow of the bedside lamp, casting a warm and intimate ambiance over the space.

As Jude gently laid Naya down on the bed, their eyes locked in a silent conversation, speaking volumes of their desire and love for each other. The air crackled with electricity as they gave in to the raw passion that had been building between them all night.

"Do you have any idea how fucking perfect you are?" Jude asked, looking up at Naya from his place between her legs, his fingertips circling her slick entrance as he teased not only her but also himself.

“I’m torn between wanting to take my time and fucking you so hard and deep, my name is the only thing you can scream," Jude continued, his voice low and filled with desire. Naya's breath caught in her throat as she met his intense gaze, feeling a surge of need wash over her. She arched her back, pressing her hips against his hand, silently begging for more.

Jude leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, "But for now, I think I'll take my time...savor every moment of you." Naya moaned out and her entire body jolted in surprise as she felt Jude’s fingers slap against her saturated core, sending a jolt of pleasure through her.

His touch was electrifying, setting her skin on fire and making her heart race with anticipation. Jude's movements were slow and deliberate, each caress sending waves of desire crashing over her.

“Do you think I can make this pretty pussy squirt again?” Jude asked as he continued to explore her, Naya's breath hitched at his bold words, feeling a rush of excitement at the thought. She nodded eagerly, her body already responding to his touch in the most primal of ways. Jude grinned at her response, his fingers expertly finding all the right spots that made her toes curl and her breath come in short gasps.

As he continued his skilled ministrations, Naya felt herself teetering on the edge of ecstasy. Her hands clawed at the sheets beneath her, her back arching as pleasure built up inside her, threatening to explode. Jude's gaze never wavered from her face, watching intently as she unraveled under his touch.

And then, with a flick of his wrist and a knowing smirk, Jude pushed her over the edge. Naya's body trembled with the force of her release, a primal cry escaping her lips as waves of pleasure crashed over her. Jude held her through it all, his touch gentle and possessive at the same time, as if he knew exactly how to bring her to the brink and back again.

As Naya slowly came down from the high, she opened her eyes to see Jude looking at her with a mixture of adoration and hunger. "You're absolutely perfect," he murmured, his voice filled with awe.

Using her elbows to sit up, Naya blushed as she looked down at the sheets to find her arousal had stained it a deeper shade of grey. She couldn't help but smile at the evidence of their passion. Jude leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips, his touch now tender and loving.

"I meant every word, Naya. You really are something else," Jude whispered against her skin, causing goosebumps to rise on her flesh as his fingers lazily toyed between her thighs.

“I want you inside of me,” Naya whispered, her voice husky with desire, her eyes locked with Jude's. His gaze darkened with lust as he met her request, a hungry grin spreading across his face.

Without hesitation, Jude positioned himself between her legs, his hardness pressing against her wetness. With a slow, deliberate thrust, he entered her, filling her completely. Naya gasped at the sensation, the exquisite feeling of being stretched open by him.

His girth combined with his length was a combination lethal enough to make any woman lose control. Naya wrapped her legs around Jude's waist, pulling him closer as they moved in perfect rhythm.

Jude's movements were powerful yet controlled, each thrust hitting that sweet spot inside her that made Naya's head spin with pleasure. She clung to him, her nails digging into his back as she matched his intensity, meeting his every movement with equal fervor as their eyes met.

“You’re so fucking tight,” Jude groaned into Naya’s ear, making her cry out and dig her nails into his back as he snapped his hips forward, the power of his thrust causing the tip of his dick to tap against the cushiony surface of her cervix.

Jude was so deep Naya could feel him in her stomach, his heart beating against hers as her eyes filled with tears of awe and unadulterated pleasure.

“Baby, are you okay?” Jude asked as his strokes slowed, their eyes meeting as a look of concern took over his face.

Naya nodded, her breath coming in short gasps as she tried to catch her bearings. "Yes, don't stop, please," she whispered, her voice filled with need and desire.

Jude's expression softened as he leaned in to place a gentle kiss on her lips. "I've got you, Naya. Just let go and feel everything," he murmured, his words soothing her racing heart.

With a renewed sense of trust and surrender, Naya allowed herself to be consumed by the pleasure Jude was giving her. Every thrust, every touch sent her spiraling further into ecstasy, her body responding to him in ways she never knew possible.

Allowing Jude to control her every movement, Naya got onto her hands and knees in front of him. A shiver moved through her as she heard him let out a groan while using his fingers to spread her pussy open from his place behind her.

Jude's hands gripped her hips firmly as he positioned himself behind her, his hardness pressing against her entrance. With a slow, deliberate push, he entered her from this new angle, causing Naya to gasp at the sensation of being taken in such a primal way.

The change in position allowed for even deeper penetration, hitting spots within her that sent shockwaves of pleasure coursing through her body. Naya’s nipples were rock hard and goosebumps covered the surface of her skin despite the heat of the moment.

Letting out a whimper as she felt Jude tangle his fingers in her hair, Nay turned her head to look at him over her shoulder.

Her eyes locked with his, a fiery passion burning between them as he began to move inside her with a primal intensity that left her breathless. Jude's grip on her hips tightened, his movements becoming more urgent and demanding as they both lost themselves in the raw, unbridled pleasure of their connection.

“Baby, I can feel you in my stomach,” Naya moaned out, her words a mixture of surprise and ecstasy. The sensation of Jude filling her so completely, of being connected to him in such a primal way, was overwhelming. Her body trembled with the intensity of their passion, every thrust propelling her closer to the edge of bliss.

Jude's movements became faster, more frantic, as he chased his own release while driving Naya to the brink of hers. The sound of their bodies coming together filled the room, a symphony of desire and need that echoed in their hearts.

As they moved together in perfect harmony, the world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them locked in a dance of pleasure and connection. Naya's moans mingled with Jude's groans, their bodies moving as one in a dance as old as time.

And then, with a final, powerful thrust, Jude pushed Naya over the edge. She cried out his name, her body convulsing with the force of her release as waves of ecstasy washed over her. Jude followed soon after, his own release echoing hers as he buried himself deep inside her, their bodies pulsing with shared pleasure.

Exhausted and spent, they collapsed together, their hearts racing as they clung to each other in the aftermath of their passion. Jude pressed soft kisses to Naya's skin, his touch gentle and reverent as they both caught their breath.

Naya mind was completely blank, all she wanted was to be underneath Jude, his fingers playing softly in her curls as he held her close.

She basked in the warmth of his embrace, feeling safe and cherished in his arms. The room was filled with the scent of their lovemaking, a heady mix of sweat, desire, and satisfaction that enveloped them both in a cocoon of intimacy.

As they lay together in the quiet aftermath, Naya couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude for the man beside her. Jude had unlocked a part of her that she never knew existed, a depth of passion and connection that left her breathless.

With a contented sigh, she snuggled closer to Jude, her head resting on his chest as she listened to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

“Do you think Jermaine and Miles would be upset if I had you to myself tomorrow?” Naya asked, pressing a soft kiss to his chest.

Jude chuckled softly, the sound rumbling through his chest and vibrating against Naya's cheek. "I think they can survive a day without me. Besides, I have no intention of letting you go anytime soon," he replied, his voice filled with affection.

Turning Naya over so she lay flat on the bed, Jude laid on top of her. The tip of his nose ghosting against the skin of her neck as they got comfortable. Despite their difference in weight and height, she absolutely loved it when he laid on top of her, enveloping her in his warmth and strength.

As they settled into each other's embrace, Naya closed her eyes, savoring the moment and committing it to memory.

Title: A Tale of Two TV Shows: Exploring LGBTQ+ Representation in "Glee" and "Schitt’s Creek"

Introduction:

In the realm of television, representation matters. Two shows that have made significant strides in portraying LGBTQ+ characters and storylines are "Glee" and "Schitt’s Creek." Both shows have left an indelible mark on pop culture, but they approach LGBTQ+ representation in distinct ways. Let’s delve into how these shows tackle this important aspect of storytelling and their cultural impact.

Glee: Breaking Boundaries with Bold Representation

"Glee," created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, burst onto the scene in 2009 with its vibrant portrayal of a high school glee club. The show didn’t shy away from tackling challenging topics, including LGBTQ+ issues. From the outset, "Glee" featured openly gay characters like Kurt Hummel (played by Chris Colfer) and Santana Lopez (played by Naya Rivera), who grappled with their identities in a conservative small town.

1. Authentic Storylines: "Glee" didn’t just tokenize its LGBTQ+ characters; it delved deep into their experiences, showcasing their struggles with acceptance, coming out, and self-discovery. Kurt’s journey, in particular, resonated with many viewers as he navigated the complexities of being a gay teenager.

2. Representation Across the Spectrum: Beyond gay characters, "Glee" also introduced transgender and bisexual characters, broadening its representation of the LGBTQ+ community. Unique storylines like Coach Beiste’s (played by Dot-Marie Jones) transition and Santana’s exploration of her sexuality added depth and nuance to the show.

3. Impact on Audiences: "Glee" provided a platform for LGBTQ+ youth to see themselves reflected on screen, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. The show’s impact extended beyond entertainment, sparking important conversations about acceptance and equality.

Schitt’s Creek: Redefining LGBTQ+ Narratives with Heart and Humor

"Schitt’s Creek," created by father-son duo Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, took a more understated approach to LGBTQ+ representation when it premiered in 2015. Set in a quirky small town, the show follows the wealthy Rose family as they adjust to life after losing their fortune, including David Rose (played by Dan Levy), a pansexual character who owns his identity from the start.

1. Normalizing LGBTQ+ Identities: Unlike many shows that center LGBTQ+ characters’ struggles, "Schitt’s Creek" normalized queer identities, portraying David’s sexuality as a non-issue within his family and community. His romantic relationships with both men and women are treated with the same care and respect as any other storyline.

2. Multifaceted Characters: While David’s sexuality is an integral part of his character, "Schitt’s Creek" goes beyond stereotypes, presenting him as a complex individual with interests, flaws, and ambitions unrelated to his sexual orientation. This multifaceted portrayal adds depth to the show’s LGBTQ+ representation.

3. Global Impact: "Schitt’s Creek" garnered widespread acclaim for its inclusive storytelling, earning accolades from critics and audiences alike. Its heartwarming depiction of love and acceptance resonated with viewers worldwide, solidifying its place in television history.

Comparative Analysis:

Both "Glee" and "Schitt’s Creek" contributed to LGBTQ+ representation in television, but their approaches differed significantly. "Glee" tackled issues head-on, addressing the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in society, while "Schitt’s Creek" focused on normalizing queer identities and relationships in a lighthearted and affirming manner.

1. Depth vs. Normalization: While "Glee" explored the complexities of LGBTQ+ experiences through dramatic storylines, "Schitt’s Creek" prioritized normalization, presenting queer characters as fully integrated members of their community. Both approaches have merit, catering to different audiences and contributing to a more inclusive media landscape.

2. Cultural Impact: "Glee" and "Schitt’s Creek" left lasting impressions on audiences, albeit in different ways. "Glee" sparked important conversations about LGBTQ+ rights and representation, while "Schitt’s Creek" offered a beacon of hope and acceptance in an increasingly polarized world.

Conclusion:

In the realm of LGBTQ+ representation, "Glee" and "Schitt’s Creek" stand out as pioneers, each making significant contributions to the cultural landscape of television. Whether through bold storytelling or subtle normalization, both shows have helped shape a more inclusive media landscape, paving the way for future generations of LGBTQ+ storytellers and audiences. As we celebrate their legacies, let’s continue to champion diverse and authentic representation in all forms of media.
