#Emery shrine

[angelmalocaris]

Emeryfession

Hello NEN Tumblr! Tumblr NEN fans! NENblr! Whatever you are!

There are like 5 of you at most, even when rounded up, but I have a confession to post.

This shrine, you see this “shrine” right here? From the NEN website? (CONT. under cut)

That is MY shrine. I made that. Those objects are in my possession.

This image is sort of old. I haven’t cleaned my bedroom in awhile so I will hold off on taking new ones for the time being, but here are my Emery related trinkets I have and projects I have worked on. This is not a complete list by any means, mostly just my biggest or most well known ones.

Lets get the big stuffy fluff-filled elephant out of the room, the pillow. Yes that is an Emery body pillow! (Or dakimakura I suppose.)

YES it is hand made! YES I do sleep with it every night! and YES my mom did help me make it! While it has become SIGNIFICANTLY more faded over time, it is well loved. That is my wifey! Of course I take care of her!

It's almost completely homemade, my mom prints t-shirt so we just printed on some fabric. There is a heart-shaped button and a few feathers in the stuffing, think like a BaB plushie.

Enough of that, time for a walk. Here’s the Emery engraved collar!

Real metal! After saving a bit of money and walking and hour or so, I purchased this at a store to be made by an engraving machine. Why? Because I can! And have you seen Emery? That’s definitely a critter.

I'm hungry... so hungry I could eat... an Emery!!!

Here are three separate Emery cakes I made! Left to right in order. They're all box mix but I baked them and frosted them on my own.

My grandma made this one. Goo Goo Gah Gah...

By now, all the cakes are long gone.

First Cake Death

Second Cake Death (My favorite!)*

Third Cake Death

*(also a remake of the first.)

Quick time event!!! Here's some Emeries I made in video games.

Note, while I did not make the Emery Mii (Hal did) I am including it here because I think it's notable that I got to marry Emery in the game.

I have lost my membership in this time so the full outfit is not possible for me anymore, but feel free to recreate it. Its simple and the items shouldn't be too hard to acquire.

It's just 1, the Square Glasses (members only) from Jam Mart Clothing in green for 350 gems 2, the tie from Jam Mart Clothing in red for 100 gems, and the Rare Crimson Topcoat (members only). While the topcoat is marked "Rare" its quite common for a rare item and IIRC I may(?) even have more than one.

I want to update the Petz 4 Emery. I could probably make it better now and I want him to be a dog when I decide to remake it.

I have lost my old save for tomodachi life but someday I will get married to him again... just you wait!!!

You know what games are made of? Code. So are webbed sites... Usually not the same code, but you get the idea.

This is my Emery web shrine! I will not link to it because its very old and not very good by my current standards. You can see its age by Emery being called "Telly" and some of the older artwork ( being by Hal of course.) Someday it will be made better and strong...

and yes. I did help with some (a lot) of the code on the NEN site. I'm blaming any of the messy stuff in there on Hal though because she's the one doing most updates. Sorry Hal! Maybe learn more than some HTML and I won't throw you under the bus. I need to log on and fix up some of that in a bit. I am sure it looks like a tornado hit it from the inside.

I have been at this for months, even years now. Longer than the NEN official site even existed. A lot of this is hand made and if not that, completely out of my own pockets. I plan to continue being crazy even if my pockets are reduced to nothing but lint and moths (they have, more than once.) I love Emery Phone.

Peace and Love (except for the french, that being Emery. I will get you Emery.)

Tschüss! Buh-Bye! Until next time! Au revoir! (Eww... French...)

Things I loved in the 2 Episode Release:

THE CLONE BOYS ARE BACK

Wrecker likes ice cream confirmed

Emerie getting a fucking conscience

Also, Emerie giving Omega's straw toy to Ava (Eva?)

Wrecker risking his life to save Gonky

THEY LEFT TECH'S GOGGLES AT THE SHRINE IM SOBBING

Things I Want to See in the Coming Episodes:

More about Emerie's backstory. It was very briefly mentioned that she was essentially Nala Se's first "Omega", and that Nala Se abandoned her when she was young. I need to know more!

Omega using the fucking force

Rex at least mentioning Ahsoka

UNMASK THE GODDAMN SHADOW CLONE HOLY SHIT. I'm still torn between Tech and Cody. He doesn't talk like Tech, but there have been references to Tech throughout the season which I don't think is a coincidence.

Hemlock getting a bullet in the brain, preferrably from Crosshair

Emerie helping to free the kids from Tantiss, and NOT DYING IN THE PROCESS.

At least ONE of the original Bad Batch members surviving to raise Omega because if Dave Filoni kills Hunter AND Crosshair, I'm burning Disney to the ground

[pheobus-the-plant]

Tantiss Lab: Angst Edition.

Because whoo boy working at a lab makes you go insane, now imagine being TRAPPED there.

What day is it? Omega has the scratches on the wall, but is it Benduday? Taungsday? She can't remember. Emerie doesn't know either

Every wall is the same. Endless halls but there's an itch under the skin that won't go away.

The only breeze is from pressurized doors shutting. What did the ocean breeze on Pabu smell like again?

There's a small shrine in one of the chemical storage cabinets. All the techies have put something there. 3 centrifuge tubes melted in the shape of a penis, a prayer for more funding on a used TLC plate, a resin duck with "i miss you mom" written in pencil on its wing. After Omega leaves, Emerie puts the straw doll in the shrine. When she takes the doll for Eva, she leaves a sample vial of blood and a plea for forgiveness in its place.

·         Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie, Twenty One Pilots’ Josh Dun and Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz streamed themselves playing video games last Friday to raise money for the Highest Hopes Foundation. Once they raised over $75,000, they premiered a brand new metal track live.

TOUR ANNOUNCEMENTS:     

·         Dance Gavin Dance announced their Spring 2020 tour, set to take off in March across 31 cities in North America before closing out the tour at the band’s own second annual Swanfest. Animals as Leaders, Veil of Maya, and Royal Coda will be joining them on this massive tour.

·         Green Day side project, the Coverups, announced their return with a show December 6th at the Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California. Joining them are the Interrupters, One Less Zero, Dead Mermaids and Dead Sound.

·         Due to the nature of how quickly their opening gig with My Chemical Romance sold out, Thursday took to Instagram to announce a few more shows they will be playing to give fans more opportunities to see them. Chris Conley of Saves the Day will be joining them onstage.

·         Hawthorne Heights announced that they will be celebrating the 15th anniversary of their album The Silence in Black and White again this coming January. The band recruited Emery again for this third leg, consisting of 10 shows, as well as Bad Luck. and Vagrants for the full run.

·         Waterparks took to Instagram to announce that one of the tour’s former openers, Yung Pinch, is out with a new face in De’Wayne Jackson to fill the now vacant slot. This announcement comes days before the tour kicks off and after fans expressed concerns over the rapper’s lyrics.

·         Halsey and Lady Antebellum performed a medley of two songs at the CMA Awards last Wednesday night. The team played the band’s “What If I Never Get Over You” and the singer’s latest song “Graveyard.”

·         Sleeping with Sirens frontman, Kellin Quinn, ended the band’s show early in the Netherlands last week due to crowd safety reasons. Fans quickly took to Twitter to question the situation, while others thanked Quinn for his actions.

·         The 1975 frontman Matty Healy joined Dashboard Confessional vocalist Chris Carrabba onstage last Thursday for one song during the latter band’s set in London. The 1975 frontman later shared the clip on his social media, adding “peak emo.”

·��        The American Music Awards announced their lineup of performances for the live show including a set from punk powerhouse Green Day. They will be taking the stage in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Dookie, performing “Basket Case” and latest single “Father for All…”

·         Scary Kids Scaring Kids will return early next year with a 15th anniversary tour celebrating The City Sleeps in Flames, their debut album. It is also a 10-year reunion for the act, led by three core musicians returning from that 2005 lineup.

·         Next year’s Download Festival in the UK announced today they’ve added 37 more acts to their lineup including the Pretty Reckless, who have also confirmed they have a new album on the way. Among the list of announced bands are Babymetal, Killswitch Engage, and Volbeat.

OTHER NEWS:   

·         Bring Me the Horizon frontman, Oli Sykes, recently collaborated with Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth for a new line of clothing for Sykes’ Drop Dead clothing company. The line includes 20 different pieces and launched in the UK this past Saturday.

·         Foo Fighters frontman, Dave Grohl, made an appearance with Big Bird and Elmo on Sesame Street to sing about the positives of traveling and making new friends. Last year, it was confirmed the musician would be making an appearance on the 50th anniversary season.

·         SWMRS provided an update on guitarist/vocalist Max Becker following his horrible van accident. “In addition to breaking both shoulders, bruising his lung & fracturing vertebrae, his biggest challenge will be recovering from the traumatic brain injury,” they wrote on Instagram.

·         During the interview, the 1975 frontman Matty Healy said he will be at My Chemical Romance’s reunion show at the Shrine, even calling Gerard Way “emo grandad.” Earlier this year, he detailed the band’s upcoming “sort of” emo album.

·         Nirvana filed a lawsuit against the famous clothing designer Marc Jacobs last December, accusing the brand of copyright and trademark infringement. Last Thursday, U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt ruled that the suit can move forward, denying Jacobs’ motion to dismiss it.

·         Black Veil Brides took to social media to announce the departure of bassist Ashley Purdy after 10 years with the band. The news comes days after BVB revealed a 2020 tour supporting In This Moment.

·         As the decade comes to an end, people are analyzing the past ten years of music and Twenty One Pilots have earned the best-selling rock album of the 2010s. The 2015 record sat on the album charts for nine weeks at the top spot.

·         Post Malone and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong were hanging out at Posty’s headlining show at the Oakland Arena last Thursday and had some pre-show drinks to mark the occasion. Photographer Grady Brannan shared a photo of the group playing beer pong.

·         My Chemical Romance shared their first photo since announcing their internet-breaking reunion last month. The band posted a photo from rehearsal that apparently took place on Friday, sharing no additional information available in the caption.

·         The Jonas Brothers decided to listen to All Time Low while on tour, and the latter band’s guitarist, Jack Barakat, took notice by retweeting the post, saying “We see you @joejonas.” Joe posted himself across from a screen that had the So Wrong, It’s Right cover on it on Instagram.

RESIDENCY (AN OPEN HEART FIC): PART TWO

Pairing: MC (Jordynne Holland) X Ethan Ramsey X Bryce Lahela; MC X Bryce; MC X Ethan

Masterlist: Click Here

Chapter Rating: T (Swearing)

Word Count: 3000+

Description: Jordynne first day at Edenbrook continues, she finds herself finding a moment with Ethan in front of a vending machine and things get hot and heavy in a supply closet. What is it with this hospital? 

Disclaimer: Characters, storyline, and parts of the dialogue are taken from Pixelberry’s Choices. They fully own the characters, dialogue, backgrounds, etc. MC Jordynne’s background is my own creation, based loosely off of MC in-game’s personality and provided with more details.

Author’s Note: Here comes part two. I was wrecked after today’s chapter so I couldn’t help just want to power through with my story. A little bit of a filler chapter I won’t lie, but I like to describe what characters are thinking during scenes shown in-game, etc. ALSO, Bryce x MC does happen in my story, because I live for delicious drama and jealousy that will be building between Ethan and Bryce.

PART TWO:

Walking down the brightly lit hallway, Jordynne slowed her pace for a moment — attempting to use this time as a tiny break. It had been a hectic first day at Edenbrook. First, she was thrown into an emergency thoracotomy in the middle of the waiting room with her medical inspiration, Doctor Ethan Ramsey, who then reprimanded her. She still couldn’t believe it had happened — she had met him before orientation had even started. She had to admit, the little picture in his bio on the back of his textbook did not do him justice. But handsome or not, he was a complete asshole to her. She needed another shot to prove herself to him — she was not just so dumb intern. Second of all, her “partner” Doctor Aurora Emery was off doing god knows what with the Chief, leaving Jordynne completely alone with their first patient. She hadn’t expected to be best friends with anyone right away, but she at least thought they would have each other’s backs in this — but Aurora was cold.

Stopping in her tracks, Jordynne realized she had gotten lost in her thoughts and had absolutely no idea where she was anymore. This is nowhere near Room 532. She thought to herself. Looking over her shoulder, she tried to spot something familiar — a nurse’s station, elevator, anything — when something solid ran right into her.

“Oompf!”  She let out, as she staggered back a bit. She tried hard not to lose her balance. The other person did lose their footing however, and a large thud echoed down the hallway as the textbook they were reading fell to the floor.

“My bad!! I’m so sorry!” Jordynne blurted out, grabbing onto the young doctor to steady him.

“No, no, I’m sorry, that was probably my fault. I was too busy reading my book.” He said apologetically. Jordynne recognized him from the orientation this morning. He seemed to recognize her too. “Hey, I saw you at orientation. Jordynne Holland, right? I’m Landry… Landry Olsen.”

Bending over, she picks up his textbook still laying on the ground. When she flipped over the textbook, she noticed the cover and a grin broke out over her face. “Whoa, you’re reading Diagnostic Principles by Ethan Ramsey?”

“Yeah, I totally worship the guy. Shrine in my basement and everything.” When Jordynne didn’t laugh right away he panicked. “Kidding! I’m kidding. I never know if it’s clear when I’m joking.”

She let out a chuckle, “I got it. But they do say never meet your heroes…”

Realization dawned on Landry’s face. “Wait! It’s you, isn’t it? You’re the intern who did the thoracotomy with him this morning?”

Jordynne’s face flushed in embarrassment. Did the whole hospital know? “Yeah. And he ripped me a new one in front of everyone. It was so unbelievably —“

But he cut her off. “Lucky!!! Ethan Ramsey actually talked to you! Ugh, this is what I get for getting to work an hour early.”

“I mean, I came to work early too. Just was in the right place I guess.” Jordynne shrugged.

“If I saw him in person, I’d probably just…” His voice trailed off as his face froze, his eyes going wide.

“Yeah, it was pretty intimidating but…” She furrowed her eyebrows at the intern. “Landry? You okay?”

Moving his hand, he points behind her with his eyes still wide. Looking over her shoulder, Jordynne spotted Dr. Ramsey speaking with a nurse down the hall. Her stomach fluttered. Her eyes went as wide as Landry’s when Ramsey spotted her and started walking over.

“Oh crap! Uh oh, he’s coming this way. Hide me!” Jordynne started to panic, looking around for somewhere to dip into.

“Hide you?! Hide me!” His face was flushed red, his words sputtering.

Realizing how they must look, Jordynne suddenly straightened up and set her shoulders back. “Ugh! What am I doing? I can’t let my first day go like this! I’m… I’m going to go talk to him.” She said, her face filling with a new found resolve.

Landry’s mouth hung open. “The man once tore apart the research of the A.M.A.’s president… during the president’s keynote address! Are you sure about this?”

A giant grin spread across Jordynne’s face, “Nope! But I’m doing this. Hey, let me borrow your copy of his book?” She grabbed it from his outstretched hand and started marching down the hall towards Doctor Ramsey. She slowed her steps as he was speaking with an elderly patient, who was sitting in her wheelchair in front of the door to her room.

“I’m not going to ask you again, Barb.” He said patiently, his voice gentle.

The woman’s voice echoed down the hall, “Forget about it, Dr. Ramsey! I’m busting outta this joint! I’ll tie the bedsheets together and rappel out of the window!”

A warm chuckle escaped him, “Don’t wait up on my account. In fact, I might break out of here with you.”

She glowered at his laughter, “I mean it! I don’t have my favorite armchair, and I’m bored without my puzzles!”

“And I’m bored of your excuses, Barb.” He set his hands on his hips, attempting to take control back in the conversation. “Whine all you want, I’m not going anywhere until you take your medication.” A scowl broke across his face as she crossed her arms at him, and huffed.

Muttering to himself, he turned around to the vending machine across the way — fiddling in his pants pocket for his wallet. Pulling out a dollar bill, he slid it into the machine before standing in front of it, his arms folded around him. He didn’t move to touch another button.

Jordynne tightened her ponytail before sidling up next to him. “Um. Hi, Dr. Ramsey.” She said nervously.

He eyed her for a moment, before turning back to the vending machine. “Rookie.”

She glanced at Landry, who was watching from down the hall — hiding behind a crash cart. “I was hoping you might sign my book.”

The corners of his mouth flickered down, “Autographs? Don’t you have work to be doing? Or at least another attending to irritate?”

She couldn’t help the smirk that spread across her pink lips. “No, just you.”

His eyes flashed to her smile. It was contagious. He forced his mouth into a straight line. “I should have guessed. Well, if you have something else to say, then say it.” His eyes went back to the line of snacks in the machine.

“I just wanted to tell you I won’t let you down again.”

Ramsey still didn’t look back at her, his words coming back quickly. “You can see the future? If so, you make a remarkable physician.”

She furrowed her brows, “I just meant —“

“You will let me down again, Rookie. What’s more, you’ll let yourself down. Over and over.” He finally turned to face her, crossing his arms back over his chest. “But what matters is that you get back on your feet each and every time, and push yourself to be better.”

She nodded at him, letting what he said sink in. She noticed him turning back to the vending machine, and she followed his line of sight. His eyes kept flickering back to the chocolate bar in the top corner. She let out a playful sigh, joining him in front of the machine again. “I was always a Geysers Exploding Fruit Snacks girl myself.”

He shook his head at her, finding the neon colored fruit snacks in the machine. They looked like a child’s snack. “That’s truly fascinating, but I’m not —“

But she cut him off. “I know you’re not getting something for yourself. You’re trying to pick something to cheer up Barbara in there, right?”

He looked at her out of the corner of his eye, “How’d you figure that?”

“Just paying attention,” She said matter of factly. “You know, I bet I could pick out just the thing.” She bent over, moving her face closer to the vending machine so she could look at all the options.

Ethan let out a laugh, “I doubt it. Barbara’s even more stubborn than you.”

Jordynne swallowed when she heard him say that. He thought she was stubborn? He thought about her?

“She’s refused to take her pills for two days.” But he waved his hand towards the machine, “Be my guest. It’s a hopeless endeavor.”

Making her decision, Jordynne finally pressed a button and the machine dropped out a packet of hot chocolate. Grabbing it, she headed to the nearby nurse station and came back with a styrofoam cup steaming with hot cocoa. She held it out for Ethan, her eyebrows raised in anticipation.

“Hot chocolate?” He furrowed his eyebrows at her, “How exactly is this supposed to—“

She moved the cup out towards him again, “Just give it to her. Trust me.”

Their fingers grazed as he took the cup from her, a familiar sense of electricity shooting up Jordynne’s hand. She had felt it when he had grabbed her to help with the incision this morning. Chewing on the inside of her lip, she waited for Dr. Ramsey to come back out of Barbara’s room. When he did, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh at the perplexed look on his face.

“It worked… That got her to take her pills. I can’t believe it.” He eyed her up, “So, are you gonna tell me how you worked that one out?”

A wicked smile spread across her face, “A girl’s gotta have some secrets.”

He put his hands on his hips, “You’re really going to hold out on me?”

She bit her pink lip, “I’m going for an air of mystery. Is it working?”

Ethan’s eyes settled on the action, and he tried to hide his gulp. “Mildly.”

She felt her belly get warm at his reaction, and she smiled. Noticing, the two quarters change sitting at the bottom of the vending machine, she reached down and took them.

“I know interns don’t make a lot, but you’re that desperate for cash?” Ethan joked.

She rolled her green eyes at him, before digging in her own pocket. She pulled out some other coins, and slide them into the machine. Hiding her selection, she bent down and grabbed another snack from the bottom slit. Facing Ethan, she held out the chocolate bar for him to see.

His eyes flickered to it, before staring back at her. “And who is that for?” He asked.

“You.” She smiled, tossing it to him.

He caught it quickly, confusion filling his face.

“Saw you kept staring at it earlier. You know, it’s okay to treat yourself sometimes.”

Ethan stared at her shiny lips and the V in her blouse. Gulping again, his eyes shifted to the chocolate in his hands, wrapping his fingers around it. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

A smile spread across her face, and she turned on her heel to leave.

“Wait,” He grabbed onto her elbow softly, turning her around. He pointed to his textbook in the crook of her other arm, “Give it here.” Grabbing the book, he clicked his pen before scrawling inside the front cover. He gave it back to her, a smile playing at his lips. “Now get back to work, Holland.”

Holland. There it was again — he used her name, not “Rookie”.  She blinked at him, a little taken aback, “You remembered my name?”

“Just paying attention.” He echoed her from earlier, before walking off in the opposite direction.

Wandering back to Landry, she opened the book up, “Don’t let me down. — Dr. Ethan Ramsey”. She smiled to herself as she read it.

Handing the book back to Landry, he opened it up and gasped. “You’re still alive! And… I can’t believe it. You got my copy signed!” His fingers skimmed over the autography, “Whoa… That inscription is intense… and I absolutely love it!” In his excitement, he grabbed onto Jordynne in an awkward hug.

The beeping of her pager broke her back to reality. “Come on. I’m getting paged, and I dunno about you, but I’m still completely lost…”

“Oh, I can help you! I memorized the layout of the hospital as soon as I got word my application was accepted.” Landry said excitedly, before leading the way.

_______________________________________________________________________

“What the hell is going on in here, Rookie?” Dr Ramsey stood in the door frame, his eyebrows furrowed and a scowl on his face.

“Oh, Doctor Ramsey!” Jordynne gulped but continued her compressions. “She was allergic to the antibiotics I prescribed.”

His face softened a little at her honest answer, “Well at least you’re taking responsibility. Sometimes patients don’t know about their own allergies. That’s why you always have to be cautious.”

As she spoke, Jackie injected the epi-pen into Annie’s thigh, and the patient took in a shuddering gasp of air. “Ok, now we can intubate.” She grabbed onto the breathing tube.

Doctor Ramsey watched Jackie intently, “Excellent work, Doctor…?”

“Varma.”

He crossed his arms at her, “You were assigned to this case?”

Jackie’s eyes flickered to Jordynne. “No, I was passing and heard Dr. Holland call for a code blue.”

“The patient’s very lucky you were here. I’m not confident Dr. Holland could have handled this alone.” He glared at Jordynne.

Biting her lip, Jackie glanced back at Jordynne — unsure of what to do. “Thank you. Just doing my job, Dr. Ramsey.”

Jordynne looked down, nodding her head. “Dr. Varma really bailed me out. I couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you, Dr. Varma.”

The two met eyes — Jackie realizing she just took full credit for the save. Her eyebrows furrowed a little, wondering why Jordynne did that. “Anytime…”

Ramsey studied the two before speaking, “Dr. Varma you should return to your own patients.”

Jackie ducked her head down as she left the room. “Yes, Doctor.”

Moving into the room more, Ramsey stepped towards Jordynne. “And you… you need to have a long, hard think about whether or not you’re ready to be here.” His blue eyes were steady, he didn’t blink. “It doesn’t matter that it’s your first day, or that you’re still learning. Whether this girl lives or dies is on you.”

Jordynne felt her heart climb up into her throat. “I know, Dr. Ramsey.” She choked out. She thought back to the Ramsey who she had been laughing with just an hour before. That was long gone now.

“You still have no idea what’s wrong with her, and your first effort nearly killed her. This is the real world. No room for mistakes —“

A perky voice interrupted him, “Hi! Dr. Ramsey, sorry to interrupt.”

He inhaled sharply through his nose, “For the love of god, what now?” He whipped around to face the petite doctor.

“One of the nurses told me… that one of the other interns told them… that one of the doctors said…”

His anger flared. “Get. To. The. Point.”

She gulped, “Dr. Toussaint needs to see you urgently!”

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Ramsey muttered something underneath his breath. Moving to the door, he paused to turn to speak once more. “Remember what I said, Rookie. Next time I see you, you’d better have solved this case.” He pointed his finger at Annie’s unconscious body, before stalking away.

A shaky breath escaped Jordynne as Dr. Ramsey left the room. She tried to blink and pay attention as the petite intern started talking to her, but her mind was swimming with Ramsey's words. The intern, Doctor Sienna Trinh, did her best to cheer Jordynne up — inviting her to join her and some others at a bar near the hospital after their shift. She agreed, but she still just couldn’t shake Ramsey’s words.

_______________________________________________

An hour later Jordynne found herself in a dark supply closet, tears welling in her eyes. Ramsey’s words and Annie’s unconscious face kept replaying in her mind as she helped her other patients. Taking deep breaths, she tried to calm herself down when suddenly the door opened. She froze as the surgical intern from this morning in the locker room walked in.

“I feel like I’m interrupting something,” Bryce said, shutting the door behind him quickly at the sight Jordynne.

Her breath hitched a little at the sight of the surgical intern. The image of him half-naked from earlier in the morning was seared into her mind. Was that really just this morning? The day was starting to feel so long that meeting him felt like days ago.

She had to admit — he was hot. Like Instagram model, lead in a romcom hot. Jordynne usually wasn’t the type to care about looks but, god was he cute. And funny. Was she still thinking? Had she said any words to him yet? She wiped at her eyes, making sure no tears had fallen down her cheeks.

He squeezed in next to her, his eyes filled with concern when he noticed her gesture. “Hey, hey, hey. What’s wrong?” He grabbed onto the sides of her shoulders.

“My first patient almost died. It was my fault…” She shook her head, her blonde ponytail waving, “Maybe… maybe I’m not cut out for this. I’ve dreamt of doing it my entire life… but that doesn’t mean I’m ready.”

Bryce’s thick brows furrowed, “Wow. You managed four years of med school, but four hours here and you’re surrendering? Didn’t take you for a quitter.”

Her eyes flashed up to his, “You just met me.”

He smirked, “True. But if every hospital employee who ever hid in a supply closet quit, there’d be nobody here but the patients.”

She felt defensive suddenly, “No offense, but what do you know about it?”

Despite her tone, he still smiled at her,” Let’s just say this isn’t the first supply closet I found a stressed-out doctor in today.”

She looked him up and down, “Well, you don’t seem overwhelmed. So what do I do? How do I handle it all?”

He shrugged, “You’ve got two options. One, breeze through life with an unshakable self-assurance like me. Or, two… ride it out.”

Jordynne let out a chuckle, “Ride it out? That’s not the great advice you think it is.”

His face turned serious, “Of course you’re overwhelmed. You’re a doctor. It’s one of the toughest jobs there is, and you’re on your first day. If you don’t give yourself a chance to make mistakes, to get better… nobody else will.”

“Okay. I’ll try.”

“Good,” He smiled, “Because I’d hate to lose you so quick. Is there anything else you need?” His hand moved down her forearm.

She shivered at the touch, “I could probably use a hug.” She laughed.

"Alright, come here.” He opened his arms and pulled her into him.

Jordynne leaned into the gesture — his warm arms wrapping around her easily. He smelled salty and warm — sunny like a beach. She rested her cheek against his strong shoulder, closing her eyes for a moment. “This is nice. You’re a pretty good hugger.”

His chuckle reverberated through him, and she felt it through his chest. “One of my many talents.”

Moving her face back, her green eyes met his brown ones. The pair both realized how close they really were.

“Hey, wait a second. Was this just a plot of yours to get me alone in here?” He laughed, but the sound was muffled as Jordynne crashed her lips onto his.

A surprised noise escaped Bryce’s mouth before he returned her kiss. He grabbed onto her hips, pulling her into him as he deepened it. The kiss turned hard, and he pressed her up against the storage room shelves — boxes and supplies falling to the floor at their feet.

Usually, a million things were rushing through Jordynne’s head — but at that moment all she could think about was his lips on hers. She wrapped her leg around his side, pulling him in tighter as their kisses turned more frantic. “God, you’re incredible…”.

Jordynne felt her face flush at his comment. She hadn’t kissed anyone since her ex Brooks, back in Oregon. And she had to admit, she had missed this. She felt Bryce’s fingers slip underneath her lab coat, toying with the hem of her blouse before inching it upwards.

The door opened, and Jordynne stiffened up. Bryce however, kept his hands on her — moving his body to cover hers from sight. “Could we get some privacy, man?”

It was a Resident. “Oh, by all means. I’m so sorry to intrude! I’ll just wait out here till you’re done. Of, if I may be so bold… might you hand me a suture kit?”

Bryce reached over the top of Jordynne, grabbing a box and tossed it back to the Resident. He flashed him a megawatt smile.

“Much obliged.” The Resident said through gritted teeth, before slamming the closet door shut.

A breath escaped Jordynne, “Maaaaaaybe we should get back to work.”

He didn’t move his hands from her waist, “That guy did kinda kill the mood, huh?” He finally let her go — running his hands through his mop of hair. Pausing at the door, Bryce bit his lip and looked her up and down one more time. “Hope I cheered you up a little.”

Jordynne couldn’t help the smile on her face, “Just a little.”

He winked one his brown eyes, before shutting the door behind him.

Sighing deeply, she leaned against the supply shelves — thinking. This was the strangest first day ever.

Thăng trầm đời người phụ nữ cuối cùng gặp Lý Tiểu Long

Bốn thập kỷ qua, các đồn đại về cái chết của Lý Tiểu Long chưa bao giờ ngừng, dù báo cáo giải phẫu chính thức hồi đó kết luận rằng, ngôi sao võ thuật tử vong do rủi ro. Các lời đồn đoán tập trung vào thực tế rằng, thi thể Lý Tiểu Long được tìm thấy trên giường trong căn hộ của bạn gái tin đồn của ông hồi đó là Đinh Phối. Minh tinh Đài Loan lúc đó làm việc cho hãng phim Shaw Brothers.

“Lý Tiểu Long không bao giờ nói dối”

Cái chết của Lý Tiểu Long ở tuổi 32 đã phủ bóng lên cuộc đời Đinh Phối nhiều năm sau đó. Không ít người cáo buộc Đinh Phối chịu trách nhiệm cho cái chết của huyền thoại võ thuật. Có người cho rằng, Đinh Phối đưa Lý Tiểu Long loại thuốc giảm đau cực mạnh dẫn tới chết người. Có người lại cho rằng, Lý Tiểu Long tử vong trong khi ân ái với Đinh Phối.

Đinh Phối sinh năm 1947 ở Đài Loan trong một gia đình 3 thế hệ làm thầy thuốc, bác sĩ và có một số người thân là nhân vật nổi tiếng. Chú của Đinh Phối là Trương Học Lượng – một trong những nhà quân phiệt rồi trở thành tướng lĩnh của Quốc dân đảng. Ông của Đinh Phối là lãnh đạo công an Bắc Kinh thời kỳ quân phiệt.

Năm 20 tuổi, Đinh Phối tới Hong Kong, làm việc cho Shaw Brothers. Phim đầu tiên của bà ở Hong Kong là The Purple Shell (1967). Sau đó, Đinh Phối thường xuất hiện trong phim của đạo diễn Nhật Bản Umetsugu Inoue, bao gồm các phim ca nhạc như The Millionaire Chase (1969), The Yellow Muffler (1972)…

Dù đóng nhiều phim thuộc nhiều thể loại chính kịch, hài kịch, ca nhạc, võ thuật…, nhưng Đinh Phối nổi tiếng nhất với các vai người tình và các cảnh giường chiếu ướt át.

Trong một cuộc phỏng vấn, Đinh Phối nói rằng, năm 1972, bà lần đầu gặp Lý Tiểu Long trong một khách sạn ở Hong Kong, cùng với nhà sản xuất phim Trâu Văn Hoài và vợ của Lý Tiểu Long là Linda Emery. Không lâu sau đó, Lý Tiểu Long mời Đinh Phối gặp lại để bàn về phim Way of the Dragon (Mãnh long quá giang) mà ông đang đóng.

“Chúng tôi có điểm chung. Chúng tôi đều chân thành với người khác. Anh ấy là người không bao giờ nói dối”, Đinh Phối nói trong cuộc phỏng vấn. Hai người nhanh chóng trở thành bạn thân và tin đồn về bản chất mối quan hệ của họ bắt đầu lan truyền.

“Tôi sống trong ác mộng 10 năm qua”

Thời gian vui vẻ của Lý Tiểu Long và Đinh Phối kéo dài không lâu. Ngày 20/7/1973, Lý Tiểu Long được tìm thấy trong tình trạng đã tử vong trên giường của Đinh Phối.

“Tôi biết người ta nghĩ gì về Lý và tôi và điều này khiến tôi sống trong ác mộng 10 năm qua. Tôi nghĩ điều đó không công bằng, không chỉ với tôi mà cả với Lý vì anh ấy đã chết”, Đinh Phối trả lời phỏng vấn trên truyền hình vào năm 1983 (một thập kỷ sau khi Lý Tiểu Long qua đời).

Đinh Phối phủ nhận thông tin rằng, Lý Tiểu Long chết khi ông đang quan hệ tình dục với bà trên giường của bà.

Theo Đinh Phối, hôm đó, hai người gặp nhau trong căn hộ của bà ở khu dân cư Cửu Long Đường để thảo luận về việc làm phim The Game of Death (Tử vong du hý). Lý than đau đầu sau khi Trâu Văn Hoài rời đi vì có cuộc hẹn ăn tối. Đinh Phối đưa cho Lý Tiểu Long một loại thuốc giảm đau có tên Equagesic. Sau đó, Lý Tiểu Long nằm xuống, chợp mắt trong phòng của Đinh Phối.

Đinh Phối kể rằng, nhiều giờ sau, bà phát hiện Lý Tiểu Long bất tỉnh. Lúc đó, Trâu Văn Hoài trở lại căn hộ của Đinh Phối. Họ gọi bác sĩ. Tuy nhiên, khi được đưa đến Bệnh viện Nữ hoàng Elizabeth, Lý Tiểu Long được bác sĩ tuyên bố là đã tử vong.

Người ta kết luận rằng, Lý Tiểu Long tử vong do dị ứng với tranquilliser meprobamate – thành phần chính trong thuốc giảm đau Equagesic.

Kể từ đó, một số người đổ lỗi cho Đinh Phối đã đưa Lý Tiểu Long loại thuốc ngủ khiến ông tử vong. “Tôi nhận được nhiều lời đe dọa rằng, mạng tôi gặp nguy hiểm vì người ta trả thù cho Lý. Tôi chỉ mới 26 tuổi và lúc đó rất sợ chết. Không ai đến giúp tôi”, Đinh Phối trả lời phỏng vấn.

“Lý Tiểu Long dùng điện để kích thích cơ bắp”

Đinh Phối kể rằng, thời điểm đó, Lý Tiểu Long ốm yếu. Khoảng 2 tháng trước khi chết, ông ngã xuống bất tỉnh khi đang đóng phim Enter the Dragon (Long tranh hổ đấu).

“Anh ấy không trong tình trạng sức khỏe bình thường, nhưng vẫn tập luyện theo cách rất khắc nghiệt. Anh ấy thậm chí dùng điện có điện thế cao để kích thích và rèn luyện cơ bắp, đẩy cơ thể tới mức giới hạn”, Đinh Phối nói trong một cuộc phỏng vấn.

Mất đi một trong những người bạn thân nhất, trong khi bị người hâm mộ Lý Tiểu Long đổ lỗi cho cái chết của ông, Đinh Phối tan nát cõi lòng nhiều năm sau khi huyền thoại võ thuật qua đời. Có lúc bà mắc chứng tâm thần phân liệt.

Khi hãng Shaw Brothers quyết định làm bộ phim hành động tiểu sử Bruce Lee and I (Lý Tiểu Long và tôi) năm 1976, với Đinh Phối đóng vai chính mình và Lý Tu Hiền thủ vai Lý Tiểu Long, bà nghĩ rằng mình có cơ hội làm sáng tỏ những nghi ngờ, xua tan những đồn đoán vô căn cứ.

Thế nhưng, bộ phim không phản ảnh đúng mối quan hệ của Đinh Phối và Lý Tiểu Long. Khán giả chú ý nhiều nhất đến các cảnh “tươi mát” trong phim.

Năm 1976, Đinh Phối cưới Hướng Hoa Cường, một nhà sản xuất phim Hong Kong xuất thân là diễn viên. Một năm sau đó, họ sinh con gái. Dù cuộc hôn nhân chỉ kéo dài 4 năm, Đinh Phối nói rằng, Hướng Hoa Cường đã cứu vớt cuộc đời bà.

Sau khi ly hôn, Đinh Phối rút lui khỏi showbiz những năm đầu thập niên 80, dành thời gian nghiên cứu, thực hành Phật giáo, sống đời bình lặng, tránh ra camera.

ArtNook: Susan Dillon, Fabric Artist

This Summer we are delighted to be hosting work by Susan Dillon, a fiber and mixed media artist based in the Globeville Riverfront Art Center (GRACe) in Denver.

Susan’s work explores quilting and fiber arts in two and three dimensions. When Susan creates a new piece, an initial detail or verbal phrase sparks an exploration of the materials. Through her manipulation of the materials, Susan allows their characteristics to lead her through a process of discovery. The resulting piece is often a surprise, even to Susan. Her work features recurring iconography, often feminine; dresses, houses, nests & birds.

I took the opportunity to visit Susan in her studio space at GRACe. The visual language of Susan’s work really comes alive in her studio, where delicate lace and silky thread are juxtaposed with elk bones and rusty gears, among other eclectic found objects and materials, all within an arm’s length. I learned about Susan’s former career as a hat maker, and met the chickens who reside at GRACe and provide the artist community with fresh eggs.  Susan discussed her materials with unabated enthusiasm, eager to show her rainbow collections of thread, shelves of fabric, boxes of bones, and jars of metal doodads.  Her studio is a uniquely joyful space.  It was likewise inspiring to visit GRACe again, after seeing Nicholas Emery’s studio there, to get a greater sense of the community as a nurturing space for resident artists. The ArtNook display includes three pieces from Susan. “Dervish II: Urban Corridor,” a circular art quilt, and “Lure” and “Dwell,” two shrine assemblages. Come on by to see them in person – photos don’t do proper justice to all the magical little details and textures.
