#I love them all so fucking much and I love that the Sens social media team is feeding us content during the drought that is the off season

[norrisjpg]

no surprises - ʟɴ⁴

based on this request from @jxnellat - thankyou lovely!!

in which, lando's bias opinion regarding the open red bull seat proves to stop a new friendship blossoming - until he proves himself wrong.

contains: unconscious bias, smallest bit of angst, shit-talking, carlos not to red bull (NOO), justice for logan because i give him an extra year in f2, mentions of christian horner (AH), social media, fluff, lando admitting he's wrong, mentions of struggles with mental health, williams not being shit.

platonic lando norris x named female character (senna hamilton)

...

...

carlos sainz jr's first choice was always going to be red bull. why wouldn't it be? the team was dominating the formula 1 world, and he was sure they wouldn't fuck him over like ferrari had many, many times.

but, tough luck for him.

before he could even think about getting into talks with christian and helmut - the world was rocked with the news of formula one's first female driver, moving to her dad's previous rival team.

senna hamilton might as well have broken the media. she was currently racing for williams alongside alex albon, but had no word from her superiors as to whether they were going to extend her contract with williams or whether there was any interest from mercedes.

so, she looked elsewhere.

and honestly, it came as a shock when her manager explained that christian horner wanted to arrange a meeting to discuss her seat for 2025 - due to sergio perez's less-than-admirable performance in the first half of the 2024 season.

either way, it was safe to say, that the hamilton family had given the world yet another reason to look forward to the 2025 season, and also given them all aneurysms in the process.

lando norris wasn't one for commenting on other driver's situations, but when it came to carlos sainz jr, he didn't hesistate as much as he usually would.

"so, lando, as we know you're good friends with carlos, and well, there's now one less team for him to go to - with senna going to red bull next year - can we just get your thoughts on that?" the blonde woman asked him, steadily holding the microphone out in front of him.

"well, obviously i think carlos deserves the best available seat possible, and that would have most likely been the red bull seat - so i think he should be in the red bull - but, i do think it will be interesting to see what senna can do in the red bull alongside max, but i'm just hoping that carlos can also get a good seat for next year." lando nodded, slightly stumbling over his words as his PR manager side-eyed him.

"okay, so you think that carlos deserves to be in the red bull?"

"yeah, i do - not that senna doesn't deserve the red bull seat, i'm sure she does, but i'm just going off how well i know each of them. obviously carlos and i have known each other since 2019, i've only known senna since 2022 and well, we don't really talk much." lando shrugged, pursing his lips.

"okay, thankyou lando." the woman nodded, before he and his PR manager headed back toward the mclaren hospitality.

his PR manager looked at the interviewer as the two walked away, she had a bad feeling about this.

meanwhile, the joyful tune of 'taste' by sabrina carpenter blasted out of senna's driver room in the mercedes garage, as the british girl bounced around her room, dancing to the song - when her PR manager, cameron, walked in.

"i've got some interesting news, sen."

...

well, as hard as lando tried not to give them that headline they so badly wanted - he somehow still did.

'senna doesn't deserve the red bull seat claims star formula 1 driver, lando norris.'

now, senna wasn't usually a confrontational person, but this was bang out of order, and she definitely didn't expect it from someone she didn't know that well. therefore, she requested a meeting with lando and his PR manager.

"so, would you like to explain this headline please?" senna asked as she slid a piece of paper over to him, the headline printed along with the article - she felt like she was interrogating someone in a james bond movie.

"what about it?" lando said gruffly, not entirely sure how to react to this situation.

"this is the equivalent of me saying you didn't deserve your win in miami, and then everyone agreeing with me, lando." she pursed her lips, earning a side-eye from her own manager.

"i don't really know what you want me to say?" the mclaren driver furrowed his eyebrows. "i never explicitly said that."

"i know, i watched the interview, but you might as well have." a soft scoff left her lips. "i don't actually care if you think i deserve the seat or not, i would just like you to undo this. i face enough prejudice and discrimination as it is, but i certainly didn't expect it from a fellow competitor, i'm disappointed quite frankly, lando."

her words hit like a tonne of fucking bricks - how could he be so fucking blind? lando thought that she'd asked for this meeting to have a go at him and tell him how wrong he was, but once again, he was wrong.

suddenly, he felt almost... sympathetic for her? yes, he also experienced a lot of hate online and he knew how much it affected his mental health - but if one of his competitors had said something like he had? he'd be a fucking wreck on the inside.

"oh, um, okay, yeah." he said, a little quieter as the realisations hit him. "yeah, i'm sorry, senna."

"i don't want an apology, lando." she shrugged, a small smile on her lips. "i just want this to go away."

"good morning miss hamilton." a recently familiar voice chimed in her ears, and then the unmistakable bright papaya hoodie appeared in her peripheral vision.

"good morning lando." she smiled, sounding a little tired of his recent apology antics.

"i have an urgent question for you." he said, falling into step with her as they walked past the haas hospitality.

"go on." she nodded, walking straight past the williams garage.

"would you be so kind as to accompany me back to monaco this evening after the race?"

"what?" she furrowed her eyebrows, stopping in her tracks.

"you live in monaco, correct?" lando stood in front of her, maybe a foot or so away from her.

"yes." senna nodded, wetting her lips briefly with her tongue.

"and i also live in monaco, i've got a few extra spaces on my jet, and was wondering if you'd like to join me." he explained. "it'd be me, you, max, daniel, charles, and carlos."

"ah, okay, i see." she nodded. "what's brought this on?"

"well, since we're friends now, i thought- well i don't really know i just wanted to know if you wanted to come with us or not."

"uhm... yeah, okay." senna knew she was a little unsure at this sudden gesture, but she went along with it regardless. "i'll let my dad know, but yeah, thanks."

"cool!" lando smiled, trying to sound as nonchalant about it as possible - he failed miserably. "uh, we're meeting at the airport at eight in the evening, and there'll be food on the plane."

"right, okay." she responded as they began to walk again. "not to sound fussy or anything, but the food... there won't be any fish, will there?"

"ew, of course not, i hate fish." he almost grimaced at the thought, but then his brain immediately clocked onto the fact that she sounded as equally as disgusted as him at the idea. "i'm assuming you don't like fish either?"

"i'd rather skin myself alive than eat fish, lando."

why hadn't he ever bothered to talk to her before?

"miss hamilton!" lando exclaimed loudly as he skipped up to her in the quiet airport - making her cheeks grow pink in embarrassment.

"lando, shut up." senna groaned, internally praying people around her hadn't noticed that it was, in fact, her and lando.

"sorry, where is your positive attitude?" he teased, a sharp edge of sarcasm to his voice.

"in the plane." she mumbled, dragging her pink suitcase behind her as they walked toward their gate together.

"come on, sen, we're going to disneyland!" the brit cheered, making an amused smile creep onto senna's lips, mostly the mclaren driver's child-like excitement. "actually, i have something to admit to you."

"oh god, go ahead."

"i never thought you didn't deserve the red bull seat, sen." he shrugged, his tone changing but a smile still on his face. "and if anything, i knew you deserved it - maybe more than carlos."

she laughed with a small wink, "i won't tell him you said that."

ah i actually really enjoyed writing this!! the social media parts especially, so maybe i'll start doing more social media fics??

[overtake]

Not to be weird but I feel like I got zapped when I read your hockey snippet, how didn't I know that this existed? It's literally been living my brain for hours and I've not been able to stop re-reading it since 🙃 clearly you can take the girl out of toronto but you can't take toronto out the girl because im a changed person now. No pressure ofc I mean this in non-prodding way but praying and willing you to put your snippets together. If you never come around to it then I'm glad (and changed) for what you've shared with world regardless 🙏🏻🙏🏻

This is SO sweet ��� I love you so much. Just for this, please have a bit more hockey au. There's a tiny snippet after a media bit (Surprise, this fic is multi-media! Writing the social media parts has been my fave part of the entire process)

@.MapleLeafs on TikTok: | December 12, 2023

[Players walk by a whiteboard on their way into the practice rink. They're stopped to answer the question written on it as they enter. The caption written over their heads reads: "Who don’t your Leafs want to sit next to on a flight?"]

ALEX ALBON: Easy one. Esteban Ocon. He’ll bite your head off if you make a single noise. I think he’d get mad if the plane was going down and you tried to warn him. LOGAN SARGEANT: Gasly or Ocon. I don’t know if it’s a French thing, but they both get really annoyed if you talk to them on a plane. PIERRE GASLY: Danny Ric. He is the loudest person I’ve ever met in my life. ESTEBAN OCON: Daniel Ricciardo. Sorry, Daniel. DANIEL RICCIARDO: Gasly. Max and I were just having a conversation and he rose up behind us and nearly bit our heads off for laughing. I don’t know why he keeps sitting near us. MAX VERSTAPPEN: I don’t really mind sitting next to anyone. I usually sit next to Daniel, and we have a good time. He keeps movies downloaded for us. They're often not very good, but that's sometimes more fun, you know? YUKI TSUNODA: Daniel. VALTERRI BOTTAS: Daniel Ricciardo. ZHOU GUANYU: Daniel. He is very nice and fun, but sometimes you just want to relax on a flight. MARCUS ERICCSON: Surely everyone except Max picked Daniel, right? FERNANDO ALONSO: I don’t want to sit next to anyone.

Mara (DR’s Reputation Era) @.mv33fan: Fernando Alonso: I hate this entire team The entire team: We hate Daniel and the French Max and Daniel: Ask again later. Our mouths are occupied with each other’s dicks.

________

Theoretically, Daniel knew that his and Max's pre-game ritual could end up on the broadcast. Butt taps and silly handshakes in the tunnel inevitably end up on team Instagram stories even if they don't air on TV. It was to be expected, particularly on a Saturday night game against Ottawa.

Still, he didn’t exactly expect a whole montage. It's a nice little package, to be fair. It shows him and Max laughing next to each other in the tunnels and locker rooms before games, followed by their fingers interlocking in their usual drawn-out high five. Daniel prefers to fist bump the whole team and exit only before the goalies, but his routine with Max is always a bit of a production that holds up the line. It's only a surprise it hasn't been uploaded sooner.

After a game where Max scored two goals and Daniel threw his body in front of a rogue deflection and stopped the Sens from a late-third tie, the media naturally focuses on the montage. God forbid they talk about actual fucking hockey in the hockey interview.

“We call it tangled love,” he tells reporters in the press scrum after the game. “In honour of our artistic collision last game.”

It wasn’t a real collision. They’d just got tangled up together when things got chippy by the net. Their skates had collided and they'd taken each other out while trying to defend Esteban from some Habs players. It was all over social media, though, and Daniel knew they’d end up in some embarrassing NHL moments compilation.

They’d both laid on the ice, a little stunned and a lot stupid, before Daniel let out a giant laugh and broke the tension. Max had risen to his feet and tried to pull up Daniel, only for them both to fall right back down as if this was the first time they'd ever skated.

They’d actually been doing this little handshake all season, but reporters were always happy for a soundbite to latch onto and a joke they’d never let go. There's not much to work with in this league in the way of on-camera personality, so it’d probably be a story for the next week. The go-karting clips of the two of them were so popular than even Max mentioned he’d seen them on Reels, and he’d carefully curated his feed to show him anything but Leafs content.

Daniel can’t explain it, this warmth that makes him feel like he’s glowing from inside out all the time since the season started, but he knows he feels it most when he sees people write his name alongside Max’s like their togetherness is a given.

[starscelly]

first yapping post in a while that’s just about ME and not these fuck ass men because it’s MY blog. but it’s also abt them. and my mental relationship with them. vent? explanation??? something???? 👇👇👇 it’s long

i’ve been in such a weird funk lately where i keep being like. scared i don’t like hockey as much anymore LOL which is absurd because you all follow me. but i’ve had such a hard time watching games??? like i get annoyed with myself because i’ll tab out to gif things instead of watching or scroll tumblr instead of watching or rewind to clip something instead! of! watching!!!!! which is bad!!! i used to be sooo good at watching hockey like so locked in and i could tell u every little thing that happened (for like one day after bc my memory is rlly bad but ykwim) but now i’m like. my attention span is so bad. and i feel this weird. it’s not pressure? but i have this compulsion i guess to clip and gif EVERYTHING now which is just. not good!!! like it makes good silly content and i like the archive of it all but!!!!! when it detracts from my enjoyment of the game idk what to do. like i LOVE gif making but i don’t want it to take away from my Love of The Game…. idk. i also get weird abt it like omg people probably expect me to gif this …. which is probably not true like you’re all normal and i am not famous and also i’ve said sooo many times people can just ask if they want certain things giffed. it’s just. i think it all ties into a general theme of recently i’ve just been on tumblr waaaaay too much. like it makes sense bc it’s the only social media i actively use but :///// worried. abt myself lol.

on a lighter note i do think watching tonight’s game was rlly good for me in comparison to how most of this season has been. i was watching the wings and sens and bruins games earlier which i haven’t watched a non stars game in a While and i was like. wait this is so nice when i’m not constantly on my phone posting abt it. like i’m paying attention. which like NO SHIT!!!!!! but i’m just a guy (gn) in my 20s please…. how am i to know anything …… so i kinda set my phone aside during tonight’s game and only picked it up during commercial breaks and didn’t clip as much random shit and it felt better i think. idk

so maybe less content from me? but also probably not?????? like not considerably less you’ll just get like 3 gifs per game and not fucking. 6. or get some later. or something. idk. we’ll eat hummus and figure it out i suppose …

Dani’s pov

"Miss .Henderson, what a pleasure to see you ." Miss.Odonell walks over to where Eddie Nate and I were celebrating our happiness.

But now my happiness has gone to fear and I think Eddie notices because he pulls away from me still with Nate in his arms .

"Miss.O'donnell's hi." I walk over to her "what brings you back ?"she ask crossing her arms over her chest .

"I -I brought my son to see Um Dustin ...But he was busy and Eddie came to tell me ." I don't know if that was a good lie .

But I really hope she believes it .

"Oh ,ok I see ." The bell rings signaling Eddie has to go back to school .

"Well it was nice seeing you ." She says politely

"Mr.Munson class ." She says sternly before walking away .

I really hope she didn't see Eddie and I kissing . I know I'm not his teacher anymore but somehow the fear was there and I don't know why .

I walked back over to Eddie. I felt awful for lying .

He doesn't deserve that ,but he knows I don't meant it in a bad way or it doesn't mean that I'm embarrassed of him because if it were for me I would post it on my social media and tell the whole world how happy Eddie Munson makes me .

Eddie pecked my cheek before leaving to class and I told him that I'll wait for him at my moms house to go to Wayne's afterwards but he told me that we should go check the mattresses first  because he wanted me to move in ASAP he didn't want to miss a minute of my pregnancy .

I told him that it was too early for any other symptoms. I don't think the baby would be moving right now or would it ?

Nate wouldn't move that much when I was pregnant with him . I was always scared and Liam and I would always rush me to the E.R but it turns out he was sleeping or like they say he was a bit lazy .

Ate always gave us a scare during the pregnancy either he wouldn’t move or I would bleed or I would be in a lot of pain .But I’m after all that pain my baby came out healthy and that’s all it mattered.

So I said my goodbyes to Eddie and watched him go about into school .Somehow I had this awful

Feeling inside of me and a voice telling me

That everything i was doing was wrong because I was dating someone who was in high school.someone who was younger than me .

I know it wasn’t by much but people

In this town talk too much .

I needed to the right thing .

But what was the right thing to do ?

So Now I will head home to let my mother know or maybe I'll just do a dinner this weekend and invite Wayne over as well as Steve to let them know the news .

Hopefully my mother and Wayne take the news well ..

————————————

I went back home and I felt like I could breathe again as soon as I walked in the door because I felt I was holding in my breath all the time I was talking to Miss .O'donnell's even though it wasn't for a long time ,for me it felt like hours .

Hopefully she doesn't tell Eddie anything  or doesn't get suspicious of us .

I mean it doesn't matter anymore right because I'm not his teacher ?

I honestly don't understand how everything works ,hopefully I did the right thing and not get myself in some legal problems .

Maybe we should make it official to the public until after Eddie graduates  .

Maybe I'll talk to him about that later .

But now I need to start packing Nate's and my stuff because Eddie wants us to move in by this weekend .

I mean I don't have a lot of stuff to pack here with my mom. All of my stuff is in a storage room.

Fuck and I haven't told my mom I was moving in with Eddie yet .

Great, I should tell her today .

Ozzy and Nate passed by me running to Dustin's room. I know what he was going to do; he can't stop playing on his PlayStation .

That reminds me of me. I love playing as well but I rage so much and start telling other players shit ,so I stop playing. Maybe I should start playing again to pass time right now that  I'm not working .

Or maybe I should get myself another job that doesn't involve me working in the high school with my boyfriend .

That's a weird sentence that I  would never say

again..

I looked for my mom but she wasn't home so I went to my room and lay down but then  decided to set up my gaming system to my tv in my room and started playing one of my favorite games online.

I hadn't even noticed Nate and Ozzy had walked in my room. They were both in my bed watching Movies on his tablet .

I hadn't even checked the time either but I continued playing raging like crazy.

"That's fucking bullshit I fucking shot him!!" I shouted into my mic

"Yeah go fucking help your boyfriend!!" I shouted i fucking hated campers and snipers .

I started getting a bit better damn I had forgotten how good it felt to play online fuck it felt good it was like a rush of adrenaline ,it was my own little world that let me escape from my real problems .

Why did I stop playing again?

Oh yeah because I get mad easily .

"Fuck you and your boyfriend!!" I shouted into the mic again "fucking campers "

The door to my room opened but I didn't pay attention to who it was. I was too into the game lost in my own trance killing player after player .

Laughing and cursing everytime I killed Someone.

"Those are some cute headphones ." I heard a familiar voice. I took off my headset and Eddie was leaning against the door.

I got up jumping into his arms "hi baby ." I coo

"Hi sweetheart." He smiled and kissed me back ..

"Thank you I love them ." I pick my headset and show it to him .

It was a pink headset that had ears that turned on colorful light.

"Where was all this all these time ?" Eddie ask

"Well I never had time to play when I was working so it was just in my closet sleeping waiting for me to come back to the darkside ." I giggle

"You're such dork ." He Pecks my lips

"Momma can I stay with grandma while

You go shopping With Eddie ." Nate said sleepily ,he was half asleep laying down in bed with Ozzy .

Ozzy was already snoring and Nate had his eyes half open.

My poor babies were tired I had them walking all over the mall looking for the perfect gift to tell

Eddie about the pregnancy .

So I'll just let them rest but first I got to let my mother know hopefully she is here already .

Eddie told me he had brought Dustin with him from school so I just told Dustin to watch Nate and Ozzy until my mother got back .

I called my mother letting her know Eddie and I were heading to the store but Nate didn’t feel like going and of course my mother said yes to taking care of Nate she loves him more than me .plus She told me she was already on her way so Eddie and I headed to the Mattress store to buy a new Mattress for us.

Furniture store

"This one is nice ." Eddie says flopping on a mattress then making a face "nevermind is too hard ." He stands up and walks over another mattress that looks like it was one of those massaging ones and had a heat temperature.

"Jesus Christ !! Is this the price ?" Eddie whisper shouts at me showing me the tag of the mattress "what the fuck does it do?" He makes a funny face making me chuckle "does it help me move when I'm you know ." He humps the air, making me gasp.

"Eddie !!" I whisper shout

"Well if I'm buying a mattress for this price it should be worth it ." He says for only me to hear .

He immediately forgets about the price and jumps on the mattress and finds the remote for it and starts messing with it .

"What the Fuck !! This thing is vibrating!!." He says excitedly "Jesus Christ it moves from one side look!" He shows me moving his side of the mattress up and down

"I guess you found the one you want then ?" I ask him

"Sweetheart, fuck I wish I could take it but it's way over my spending limit ." He stands up from the mattress and walks over another that looks cheaper .

"Yeah I can't offer this one either ." I heard him mumble

I walk over to the mattress Eddie had liked and check the price tag .It is  pretty expensive but I know he likes it and I know he is not gonna tell me he wants it .

I was debating whether to buy it or not ,it wasn't because I didn't have the money trust me I had the money but I promised Eddie I wasn't going to waste a lot of money on him on stuff he didn't really need .

But I mean he does need a new mattress and other things I can make an exception right.

I mean is something he needs.

I grab one of the price tags with the mattress info and walk over to the cash register to pay for it .

Hopefully Eddie doesn't get mad

Eddie pov

Fuck I can't even afford any of this fucking mattresses,why are they so fucking expensive is there one like for twenty dollars ??

What kind of mattress would I get for twenty dollars?

Maybe we should keep looking at other stores but I don't want to look at other stores because that meant we were gonna take more time for Dani and Nate to move in with me .

I should really decide on a mattress here but I don't mean to sound cheap or anything but I'm broke as fuck and I don't want Dani wasting  her money  on me .

I know she has told me she doesn't care but I don't want to feel like I'm a charity case .

"Eddie ." Dani makes a beeline to me with a big smile plastered on her face .

"Let's go get other stuff you and uncle Wayne need at the trailer my treat ."she takes my hand and we start walking out of the store

"Hey ,what about the mattress ?" I ask looking back at the store

"They're taking it tomorrow early to your house ." She says without looking at me and rushing to her side of the car.

Excuse me ?

What does she mean they are taking it tomorrow ?

I open the door to the car and get in "what do you mean ? Did you buy it ?" I ask her .

I don't know why I even bother asking because I know she did .

I know she had the money to buy whatever she wanted ,she didn't need me to take care of her because she had her own app thingy with Liam that made good money .

But somehow I felt like I was the one that was supposed to be spoiling her with gifts ,she deserves everything in the world .

There was no way I could ever pay her back for everything she has done for me or the gifts I've received from her .

Like fucking New York as a Christmas present!!

Who the fuck gives those kind of presents !!

I can barely take her to Indianapolis for a weekend.

Maybe she deserves to be with Liam .

But no!! Why the fuck would I think like that she chose me and she is having my baby .

"Eddie ." She said softly getting me out of my thoughts

"Yeah ."I responded looking out the window . I hadn't even realized we were moving .

"A-are you mad ?" She ask keeping her eyes on the road

Am I mad?

Not at her but at me because it's taken me 3 years to graduate for being an idiot and wanting to skip classes ,not taking fucking school seriously .

If I should have done better maybe I could have gone to college and give her a better future for her Nate and baby Munson.

But those where my plans now ,I was hoping to tell her soon I was thinking of taking her out in a date and let her know I made an application for college here at our local college and I was accepted .

But I'll just wait to let her know .

"I'm not mad sweetheart ,but you know I don't like you wasting money on us ,you know I don't care about material stuff ." I tell her honestly because in reality I don't give a shit where I sleep .

But im not gonna lie that mattress was awesome who would have thought that you could be sleeping and your own fucking mattress can massage you .

I wonder what mattress she got ?

"But you know that I don't care ,that everything I do comes from the bottom of my heart. I don't do it for you to pay me back, I do it because I love you ."

"I know sweetheart ." I placed my hand in her thigh, squeezing lightly, "So which mattress did you get ?" I ask, trying my best not to smile and hoping it was the one that vibrates.I'm sorry but I get too excited. I've never had some fancy ass shit like that.

"You'll find out tomorrow baby ."

"Dani, please tell me !!" I begged her

"I'm not telling you you'll find out tomorrow ." She smiles

"Fine ." I crossed my arms over my chest "but I'm

Buying the duvet shit you wanted ." I tell her not looking at her

"Fine with me pretty boy ." She chuckles

The rest of the afternoon we went to different stores. I have never spent so much money like we did today. I don't even want to ask if she had any money left because she probably did .

She bought so many fucking candles I don't know for what ,but to be honest they all smell pretty good..

After all the shopping, we stopped at Dani's house to pick Up Nate and Ozzy then headed to mine. Wayne was cooking dinner for us today.I wanted to tell him about Dani being pregnant but Dani said she was making dinner on Saturday at her moms house  and she was going to invite Wayne and Steve to tell them The great news .

I still couldn't believe she was pregnant. It was something I honestly didn't expect. I mean I did see myself in the future getting married and maybe having two kids and a dog .

But I never expected it to be so soon ,plus she had that thing in her arm that was supposed to prevent pregnancy. I guess that shit didn't work .

But either way I couldn't be happier. I was going to be a Dad ,the smile grew on my face just thinking about it ,just thinking of the tiny little human growing in Dani's tummy .

I moved my hand from her thigh to her tummy ,she still wasn't showing she didn't even look pregnant but there was a tiny little blob in there somewhere .

"Are you crying ?" Dani asked while making a stop at a red light ,I hadn't even noticed I was crying my stupid eyes betrayed me .

"Maybe ." I chuckled trying to hide the sob that wanted to come out. "I'm Just really happy sweetheart ." I lean in to peck her cheek .

"I love you Ed's ."

"I love you too sweetheart ."

Once we got to the trailer we got Down some of the stuff Dani had bought for the trailer ,Wayne was over the moon when Dani told him she had bought a new Coffee maker a fancy ass shit that I didn't understand instead of putting coffee on the top you put a little tiny cup that had the coffee in there ,I tell you all this new electronic shit are so difficult .

But Wayne loved it saying it was just like the one at the plant .

She also got him a new microwave because she saw the time she came when,that we didn't have one.

I sarcastically told her she might as well buy the stove and fridge on the way .

And I regret it because now she was checking if the stove and fridge work probably.

She was honestly too good to us .

I've never met a person who actually cares for me and my uncle .

She even sent somebody to check the wiring of the trailer a few weeks ago ,but she didn't tell me anything. Wayne was the one that told me and now we have new wiring .

I honestly don't know what I did to deserve her .

But the whole time I felt like shit because I couldn't give her the life she deserves,I mean she even bought her own house, something that I should be doing .

But no I'm stuck in high school for the third fucking time .

Jesus H!!!

But seeing the way she is with everyone not only with my uncle but her mom makes me be a better man .

One day I promise I will give her everything she deserves .

(1/?) Hi Sen! I hope you're doing alright; I feel like I've been seeing a rise in anti-dramione and anti-Manacled (sometimes even people harassing you as a person) content on social media, so I hope you're doing ok and don't take what people say to heart. Every time I see people read 7 chapters (despite seeing the warnings) and make huge sweeping incredibly damaging assumptions abt you/the story/the fandom as a whole I get so mad but then I realize over half of them are minors +

(2/3) and/or don't have good critical thinking and I havta shut my mouth lol and just ignore them (ex: I saw someone criticize Manacled and then in the same breath say 'I don't know why books are even allowed to have rape in them and it's almost always romanticized in some way' and I had to stop my eyes from rolling down into South America) I do kinda worry about how much Manacled is being recommended on a whole but I feel generally people are very careful and point out the triggers when recommending it and it's just antis who are looking to be offended. Also obviously it's not your problem nor is it under your control how popular Manacled gets. Anyway just wanted to send good vibes and well wishes your way and please don't worry about the antis and the thoughtless people harassing you bc your content is loved by those who understand and have the critical thinking to appreciate the beautiful pieces you write.

Yeah. They pop up on my FYP every once in while and I check to see if any of the criticisms are valid, because admittedly it is an imperfect story and I know that and I’m willing to acknowledge it to anyone with constructive criticism, but normally they miss the whole point of the entire story, so I don’t take them very seriously.

Apparently I’m a privileged white woman appropriating the trauma of POC. Which is funny to hear as a POC. And also, the things I’m being accused of appropriating aren't even the right historical events, but it seems that WWII is the only war they ever learned about in school.

All in all, I’m not terribly concerned that people felt uncomfortable and conflicted about the dystopian horror story I wrote. I’d be more worried if they weren’t. The whole reason for trigger warnings is to warn people away from content that they would be uncomfortable or triggered by reading. 

Now, of course there are the people who think that stories with rape or  sexual assault shouldn’t exist at all, and neither should any content that doesn’t explicitly align with their exact views. And I feel sorry that they feel like they don’t have the critical reasoning skills necessary to entertain a thought without agreeing with it. 

As someone who was raised in a world where sexual assault didn’t exist and no book was allowed that offered views that didn’t align with my parents’ exact ideology, I happen to know that it is that exact recipe that has led to the sexual abuse scandals emerging from practically every single major religious organization over the last ten years. And also Donald Trump. And therefore, I do not give a fuck about people who want to censor or repress real world atrocities or fictional allusions to them, because talking about those things and ensuring that victims of those things aren’t just reduced to being nothing but their victimhood is what emboldens people to finally speak out.

Imagine disappear, and Bakugo is searching you.

• That was during a normal day; you peacefully walked during your rest day.

Distracted by the advertising spots where Shoto sold cold sobas with his hero pro suit, and where Midoriya and Bakugo showed up there, perfume with the tittle "wonder duo, wonder smell, Axe."

• Then, everything exploded.

• You couldn't think that, your ears whistling and the ground trembling uncontrollably.

You were born without a quirk, but you went to Yuei in general, and you had to do some obligatory emergency formations.

• So you had the good reflexes, and you seek some shelter, but the notorious villain who attacked, saw you.

After all, you were his target.

He used again his exploding blast wave quirk; you felt on the ground.

• The other civilians screamed in agony, and some of them desperately tried to intervene, but the exposed floor was instable and their sens perturbed.

And for the communications, the villain's waves probably had been affecting it.

You heard some steps, came near to you.

•"What if we take the number 1 of the number 1 neh ?"

He laughed mockingly and...

You had a used total black out.

• A few minutes later, the heroes arrived, but the villain escaped with you.

• The witness explained the chaotic scene and some heroes were called to search you.

• The worst inevitably came when Bakugo heard the news.

He was coming back from a stupid mission with a pick-pocked who had the gluing ass quirk and which had fun to steal handbags with sitting on it.

And he heard that.

You...

You, his pillar.

• The one who he met in his therapy.

The one who helped him with this therapy, who helped him to better understand the no-quirk person.

The one who doesn't abandon him.

• You had also managed his social medias a while ago and the majority of his follower due to your work, your fucking photography.

(he knew that most of them were while he was with you, because when you're here, he can smile, he can stop screaming...)

• And you're missing, you disappeared.

He exploded and called the 1-A.

• He would never do this before, but he knew that among those extras, some of them like Shinso or Fumikage, were more adapted to him, to find you.

• Everyone started to search you or wait for the probable ransom because...

"'THEY'RE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF ME !" Bakugo screamed.

"Kacchan, calm down."

"Izuku, it's serves nothing to try reasoning him. Moreover, I would like to contradict him, but..." Momo started

"Y/n was in danger because journalists saw them, with us. More precisely, with Bakugo. Your relationship is platonic, but the gossips were persuaded that you're going out. So the villain just kidnapped the person who the heroes care about, in particularly the number one. And he found y/n." Tenya said.

Bakugo stopped and disproportionately hurt the wall.

He knew it.

But fuck, if he looked out for...or if...

If you lived together, if he had the balls to confess at the graduating ceremony, maybe you would not been in the street but at his home or...

"Bro, you can't do anything to change the past. On other hand, when we will find them, it will be come the moment to be manly, dude !"

• The red hair was aware of Bakugo's feeling toward Y/n, the class, too. But he was the only who directly had the confirmation by Bakugo himself.

Eijiro even had thought that the blonde will confessed, but Bakugo wanted to be the number one before this, like he didn't deserve Y/n if he didn't reach this objective.

• "We will put all the means into action to find them. The important thing is to not let our feelings take over us. The more time we waste, the less chance we have found them safe." Jirou said.

• All nodded their heads.

Flashback :

"I'm sure that you will finish with a pro hero." Y/n said while they were eating with Bakugo on the roof.

That was during their third year at Yuei, all the Fridays lunch were with them.

All the lunch was for them, but sadly the Bakusquad didn't let him the choice. So he negotiated the Fridays.

"Tss why are you saying this ?"

" Well, I'm sure that if you let you carry away, you exploded. So imagine if a normal civil is sucking you and bam you exploded at their face in the both sens of the term..."

"Y/N WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ?!"

They laughed.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see your reaction. I'm sure that everything is working, even down there."

Bakugo grumbled.

"Tss, sure it works. If you wanted so bad, I will make you a round on it, asshole."

Y/n blushed.

"Maybe one day..."

Bakugo was surprised by the answer, but let this in suspense.

If he knew it...

He would have devoured this lips a long time ago.

He would have said to them so much compliments, at a point so high, that it would equal with his ego.

End of the flashback

"You have to sleep." Kirishima said.

"Fuck no, I stay here."

"He didn't call, and it's been a week. Katsuki, you must sleep. Don't even dare take a coffee, yourself said it was horrible for your "fucking and perfect health, extras." "

Bakugo put the goblet and let a frustration sigh.

Nothing.

Not a fucking ransom.

No demand of money, no explosions or news of them.

They were nowhere.

"WE GOT NEWS !" Izuku screamed.

Katsuki stood up, but a black stain appeared, following by several others before everything turned black, and he collapsed on the ground.

________________________________

"Hello Aurora Bakugo, and welcome to the world of the living." a distant voice said while he painfully opened his eyes.

'Shit even here you placed a Disney reference y/n." Katsuki grumbled

He stopped himself.

Y/n ?

Suddenly he straightened up to see them next to him, with some injuries and a splint on the hand.

'Wait, what's going..."

"You fainted due to the lack of sleep and food. They took you to the hospital, where they did the necessary. It's been 10 hours since this, because like during high school, you're a grandpa who needs his sleep schedule."

" And you, you..."

"'are fine. The villain waited, to make it more dramatic and show my beauty at all the city's screens because "mouahahaha I stole Bakugo's partner", except that unfortunately for him, I'm not your partner. But, well, he was persuaded of the contrary and his ass was kicked."

" You can become it."

"What ? A villain ? Ah no, thanks. I put gloss, so I can't become a Tomura number 2, it will be a failure."

"Tss, I talked about been a partner."

"Deku will be jealous."

"Like you can equal him."

" It's true that his thighs are unbeatable."

"Yours too."

You blushed.

"You must be in morphine."

"No, I'm just under adrenalin because the person I dearly loved was kidnapped, and they're just here because I was a coward."

"You didn't be a coward. You're still a coward. But it had nothing to do with this kidnapping."

"I was unable to tell you, that I love you."

"But you made it today and, that's what it counts."

You smiled at him.

Oh, this radiant smile.

Fuck, he will be ready to fight with All Might just to see it.

"I love you back Katsuki, if your brain hasn't understood it yet, which maybe will the case seen how you stared the wall."

"Shut up, I just observed..."

"Observed ?"

"You."

You took his hand in your free one.

He leaned towards you, but...

"I may be disappeared, but your fresh breath too, above all that you stayed here ten hours. So if you want to passionately kiss me, you have to wait."

"I will wait for the time it takes. I'm the fucking number one."

.

.

.

"With Izuku."

"Shut up."

You laughed.

Yes you disappeared on his life, on his heart, on this city, but now you're back...

He, sure, count to brush his teeth to finally kiss you.

But he wants, too, to give you the envy to stay at his side in order that never this lack reappeared.

DON'T LIKE, DON'T READ

Thomas Jefferson was hopelessly in love with his work partner, Alexander Hamilton. They worked very close together, Thomas would send documents and bills to Alexander and then Alexander would read over them. They would sometimes argue over them, seeing they had opposing political views. Thomas was the Republican Senator for Virginia.

Alexander Hamilton was a Democratic lawyer that fought with Thomas whenever the time came. However, Alex found Senator cute, insufferable, but cute. Today was their first meeting of the month, they had to discuss the latest bill the Republicans were trying to pass in Congress.

__________________

“There is no way you can expect this to pass! Washington would never allow this!”, Alex said, rising from his chair.

“Well, good thing we don’t need his vote,” Thomas said angrily.

“OH MY GOD! Do you not know who our government, that you work for, works?!?!” Alex was exasperated. Thomas was getting on his last nerve. Jefferson was the dumbest person in the world, according to Hamilton. Alex had come up with a nickname for the senator, Jeffershit. Of course, he’d never call Thomas that to his face.

“Yes, I do know how it works.”

“Oh, so you know that Washington can veto the bill, right? Or have you forgotten?”

“I haven’t forgotten. This bill, however, does not need the President’s ok.”

Alexander rolled his eyes at Thomas. However, Alex had to admit, Jefferson was quite hot in his purple velvet suit. Alex wanted nothing more than for Thomas to bend him over, rip off his pants, and fuck him till he couldn’t walk anymore. However, he would not tell Jeffershit that.

“Thomas, you are the most idiotic person I have ever met. And so, for my sanity, please, take this bill off of my desk and get going. And if this passes, I will buy you dinner.”

“Alright fine. But for your knowledge, my favorite food is Mac & Cheese,” Thomas said as he sauntered out of the room, adding a little sway to his hips.

Alex shook his head and sat back down at his desk. Jesus, he wished Thomas would just fuck him already.

Ding! Alex looked down at his phone and saw a text from John.

Dude, can you pick up more hydrogen peroxide and dish soap? I need it for school tomorrow. And will totally NOT try the experiment at home. - John

Laurens, stop lying. But yes, I can pick it up. Don’t worry. - Alexander

Alex sighed and opened up his laptop. He opened up the email about his newest client. A woman that was raped was suing her rapist for $900,000. He was on the woman’s side. Thank God. He briefly looked over the report. It was pretty basic information. This case would be a piece of cake. The odds were stacked against this guy, James Reynolds.

He looked at the clock hanging above the door and saw that it was 7:00 pm. He needed to leave if he wanted to get to the store before it closed. The statement could wait one more day.

________________

Thomas heard the lock on his apartment door click and he looked up from the book he had been reading. In walked his roommate and fellow Senator, James Madison. Madison sighed and put his key in the bowl by the door.

“Hey Mads, you’ll never guess who I saw today,” Thomas said excitedly, as he put his book down.

“Lemme guess, Hamilton?”, Madison said, exasperated and sitting down. Jefferson nodded and presumed a position that was similar to a child sitting.

“He was wearing a green suit with black pants that hugged every curve and, God, believe me when I say that if I could, would have bent him over that desk and fucked him, hard. It was almost better than Mac & Cheese, and you know how much I love Mac & Cheese.”

“Yes I do, sadly. Why don’t you just ask him out? I mean, from what you say about him it seems he likes you”, Madison said , settling on the couch besides Jefferson.

“I’ll think about it, ok?”

“Alright, well, I gotta do some work but I’ll be out for dinner.” And on that note, Madison left the room. Thomas didn’t notice it, but when James left, he had glint in his eyes that seemed almost evil. Thomas picked up his book, and began reading his book as a smile that a only a schoolboy with a crush would have.

_______________________

“John, I’m home,” Aex said, putting the grocery bags down on the table.

“Eeeee, ALEX!” The younger man threw himself at Alex, knocking them to the ground. “You’ll never guess what happened to me today!” Before Hamilton could respond, Laurens was talking again. “I asked out that really cute TA and we have a date tomorrow night! Eeeee!”

“John, I’m happy for you and all but please, get off me,” Alex grunted.

“Oops, sorry.” John climbed off his friend and helped him up.

Alex stood and brushed himself off. “Well, Jefferson was wearing his mahogany suit and DAMN! He was so fine. I wish he would just bend me over and fuck him.”

“Hamilton, I love that you have this fiery passion in you for him, but could you maybe redirect that? Like, going out with your friends? Me and Herc miss going out with you,” John begged.

“Yea sure. What about this Friday? And if your date goes well, you can bring the “hot TA” out with us,” Alexander said.

“Sounds great. See ya later, he’s texting me. Foods in the fridge.” John walked away, buried in his phone, with a schoolboy grin across his face. Alex laughed on his way to the fridge. YES! John is the best roommate ever! John had made goat water and roti, which were his two favorite foods that his mom would make, before she died. Alex took his food and went to his room, to God knows what. But most likely to think about Jefferson railing him.

________________

The next morning James Madison left the apartment early for “work”. He did leave Thomas a note, saying he had to do some stuff before work and might be in late. Madison had some business to attend to and he hoped Jefferson wouldn’t mind what he was about to do.

_____________

If Alexander knew what was going to happen when he went to work that day, he would never have gotten out of bed. But alas, he couldn't see the future so he got up and went to work.

He was at his desk reviewing the case when Sen. James Madison walked in.

“Hello Senator, please have a seat. What can I do or get for you?”, ALex said. The smirk on Madison’s face was making him nervous.

“Well, you’ve been quite the tease to my friend Jefferson, so I think we need to fix that.” Madison stood up, shut and locked Hamilton’s door.

“How-how ha-have I bee-been a-a tease,” Hamilton gulped.

“Oh, I think ya know.” By now, Madison was right in front of Hamilton. Madison moved to the side of the desk, Alex was at and pushed the other man down. Before Alex could make a noise, James was pulling down his pants and roughly massaging Hamilton’s ass.

“Please-please Mr. Madison stop.” That made the senate do the opposite. Soon, James’s thick cock was at his entrance. “You don’t have to do this,” Alex said, breathlessly.

“Oh, but I do,” James said, before pushing in dry. Alex let out a breath that he didn’t realize he was holding. Soon, Madison was moving. Thrusting in and out, causing the lawyer no pleasure. Tears burned Alex's eyes and threatened to spill over. He just wanted this to be over. Even if he wanted to, Alex couldn’t get wet. Hamilton grit his teeth to hold back the screams that were quickly rising in his throat. “That’s a good boy. Keeping quiet.,” James said, moving faster. Soon, Madison was releasing in Alexander and pulled out. “Now, you're gonna ask Thomas on a date or I keep doing this until you do. Now, what’s it gonna be?” Alexander gulped.

“A-a-ask him on a da-da-date.”

“Good boy,” James said, patting Alex’s cheek before leaving. As soon as he left Alex broke down crying. He had just been raped. He didn’t know what to do. Should he call Laurens, go home, or-. No, Alex couldn’t tell Thomas. Hell, Thomas had probably put Madison up to this. Alex pulled himself together and opened his laptop. He opened his email and and started an email

______________

TO: Thomas Jefferson

FROM: Alexander Hamilton

~ Dear Mr. Senator,

Over these past couple years I have had the “pleasure of getting to know you. Over those years, feelings have started to develop. Not the feelings that you have for a friend. But, the feelings a 9th grade science teacher might get for the French teacher’s TA. And it might just be me but please, humor me and let me take you to dinner. There’s a new place that just opened up that specializes in making different, overly-expensive Mac & Cheese. So, either it’s fate or me projecting, but please let me take you out. For some Mac & Cheese at least. ~A.Ham

Alex hoped it sounded convincing and sent it. He walked out of his office, telling his secretary he was leaving. He thought about texting John, but he didn’t want to ruin Lauren’s mood.

________________

Thomas Jefferson was having a much better day than Hamilton. The alpha was sitting at his desk, when the email notification came in. He read over the email 2 times before even thinking about replying. Thomas was astounded. He didn’t think that Hamilton swung that way. The alpha thought that, from hours of stalking Hamilton on every form of social media, he had only dated women. Jefferson had been sure that Alex had been dating this alpha named Elizabeth. Hell, Alex had made a happy birthday post calling her, “one of the few alphas to put up with his shit”. But, Thomas could have been misreading the signs.

Before even thinking, Thomas Jefferson was writing out yes in all caps and pressing send. He had a hot date with the hottest man ever!

NOTES: So This is just the first part. I will be updating it here and on AO3. You can follow on either or both.

That bloated, corrupt, incompetent Fuck is trying to scapegoat Fauci for HIS OWN covid-19 policy failures, as well as discredit him to use our children as guinea pigs in reporning schools. - Phroyd

For months, Anthony S. Fauci has played a lead role in America’s coronavirus pandemic, as a diminutive, Brooklyn-accented narrator who has assessed the risk and issued increasingly blunt warnings as the nation’s response has gone badly awry.

But as the Trump administration has strayed from the advice of many of its scientists and public health experts, the White House has moved to sideline Fauci, scuttled some of his planned TV appearances and largely kept him out of the Oval Office for more than a month even as coronavirus infections surge in large swaths of the country.

In recent days, the 79-year-old scientist and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has found himself directly in the president’s crosshairs. During a Fox News interview Thursday with Sean Hannity, Trump said Fauci “is a nice man, but he’s made a lot of mistakes.” And when Greta Van Susteren asked him last week about Fauci’s assessment that the country was not in a good place, Trump said flatly: “I disagree with him.”

Fauci no longer briefs Trump and is “never in the Oval [Office] anymore,” said a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Fauci last spoke to the president during the first week of June, according to a person with knowledge of Trump’s calendar.

For some administration officials, such developments have been an early sign their job was on the line. But Trump cannot directly fire Fauci, a career civil servant with more than 50 years in government service who enjoys strong bipartisan support in Congress. In any case, the president has no plans to get rid of him, said the official.

As for Fauci himself, although he is frustrated by the turmoil and the state of the outbreak, friends say he has no plans to abandon his post, which includes a critical role in the development of a coronavirus vaccine and treatments.

Fauci has found other ways to get his message out, from online Facebook chats to podcasts and print media interviews. And in recent days, with coronavirus cases slamming hospitals in the South and West, he has been frankly critical of the U.S. response — and implicitly, of the president.

“As a country, when you compare us to other countries, I don’t think you can say we’re doing great. I mean, we’re just not,” Fauci said in a podcast interview with FiveThirtyEight last week.

Fauci did not respond to requests to be interviewed for this story.

A White House official released a statement saying that “several White House officials are concerned about the number of times Dr. Fauci has been wrong on things” and included a lengthy list of the scientist’s comments from early in the outbreak. Those included his early doubt that people with no symptoms could play a significant role in spreading the virus — a notion based on earlier outbreaks that the novel coronavirus would turn on its head. They also point to public reassurances Fauci made in late February, around the time of the first U.S. case of community transmission, that “at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day-by-day basis.”

Fauci’s supporters acknowledge those early mistakes, attributing them to the challenges posed by a new, largely unknown pathogen. They agree he downplayed the possibility of the virus spreading from person to person in January and early February even as it quietly seeded itself in communities on the East and West coasts. And, like several other public health officials, he initially said the public shouldn’t wear masks, but now strongly recommends it, especially when individuals can’t maintain distances of at least six feet from other people.

Fauci has said he was worried early in the outbreak about a shortage of masks and wanted to reserve them for health care workers. And he has said from the start that scientists’ knowledge of a brand new virus would evolve and recommendations could change based on new information.

The tension between the White House and Fauci was on full display last Sunday, when CBS host Margaret Brennan told millions of viewers that “Face the Nation” had tried for three months to interview him.

White House communications officials, who must approve television appearances related to the coronavirus, responded by allowing Fauci spots this week on PBS NewsHour, a CNN town hall with Sanjay Gupta and NBC’s “Meet the Press” during the prime Sunday morning slot, according to one person familiar with the situation.

Then Fauci joined a Facebook Live event on Tuesday with Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.), disputing Trump’s assertions that a lower death rate showed the country’s progress against the pandemic. Fauci called it “a false narrative” and warned, “Don’t get yourself into false complacency.”

Fauci did not end up making any of the scheduled appearances. The White House canceled them after his Tuesday remarks, according to the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to relate behind-the-scenes conversations.

The episode underscores the deteriorating relationship between a scientist and a president who once bonded over their shared New York City roots and love of sports, but whose rapport has long since disintegrated over their differences on face mask policy, state reopening strategies and the use of antimalarial drugs to treat covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

A senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal deliberations, said the White House has asked Fauci to do certain media appearances but is not approving all of his requests.

“Our bigger issue with Fauci is stop critiquing the task force . . . and try to fix it,” the official said.

But that may be an impossible order given his strong differences with the White House over how the federal government should respond to the accelerating infection rate that’s pushing up the death toll after months of decline.

Fauci has argued that parts of the country experiencing surges should shut down, “but there is no buy-in for that,” said an official with direct knowledge of the conversation who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Four months ahead of Election Day, Trump wants to “reopen and move on,” said another senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal deliberations. Those who disagree with that approach are out of favor, the official said.Fauci has also expressed concern about the administration’s plan to reopen schools, but White House officials see keeping children home as having even more deleterious effects. Fauci has also called on state and local officials to mandate that people wear masks in public.

Even though his suggestions have been largely ignored, Fauci has not complained that he does not get in to see the president, according to one of the officials.

Trump is also galled by Fauci’s approval ratings. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll showed that 67 percent of voters trusted Fauci for information on the coronavirus, compared with 26 percent who trusted Trump.

The internal turmoil and troubled national response have taken a toll on Fauci, those close to him say. He is exasperated that states and individuals are not following the recommendations of experts, such as social distancing and wearing face coverings, said David Barr, a longtime HIV/AIDS activist who has known Fauci for 30 years.

Three or four weeks ago, Barr said, he and Fauci spoke about the troubling signs they were seeing as cases began to tick upward.

“You could just feel from Tony . . . how unsettled it made him,” Barr said. “He didn’t know what to do to change that, to stop it, but if the leadership isn’t there, and it’s clearly not there, then it’s really difficult to set the tone for the country.”

“What he cares most about is not his influence, but what’s happening — that things are going so badly and it’s going to cause so much disease and death,” Barr added.

People who are close to Fauci say the public undermining of scientists and public health experts has frustrated and saddened him because it adds to the chaos the country is already experiencing from the pandemic.

Despite the repeated pushback from Trump and the White House, however, Fauci has told those close to him that has no plans to do anything differently.

“For somebody like Tony, who tries to deal with people honestly and in a very open and generous way — that’s how he’s tried to approach his personal interactions with the president — it’s immensely frustrating and depressing. And there’s not much he can do about it,” said Peter Staley, a longtime HIV/AIDS activist who has known Fauci for more than 30 years.

“He’s going to continue being himself, which is always talking honestly about a public health crisis and a new infectious disease,” Staley added. “If things are looking more in conflict, it’s because this administration is going further and further adrift from a pro-science approach.”

White House communications officials say they have told government scientists and doctors that their job is to educate the public by talking about best practices to contain the virus and what the administration is doing to help the states.

Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo, a longtime Trump ally, approves Fauci’s television appearances, with input from the White House, said one of the senior administration officials. Several White House aides view Fauci’s interviews as unhelpful and say they’re frustrated he has expressed interest in appearing on programs such as MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” which are hostile to the administration. That one was rejected.

“The speculation game doesn’t serve the public in any particular way,” the same official said. “When it gets to handicapping and what’s going to happen next, get a cable news gig. We’ve conveyed that down to all the doctors.”

White House officials generally favor White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx, one of the senior administration officials said. Both Birx and Fauci have expressed frustration that their concerns have not gotten to the president, although Birx is working with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Jared Kushner, a White House senior adviser and Trump’s son-in-law, to ensure better communication, the official said.

The administration also plans to have Brett Giroir, an assistant HHS secretary, and FEMA Administrator Peter T. Gaynor do more appearances related to coronavirus.

Among those crusading against Fauci internally is Peter Navarro, the president’s trade adviser, who has clashed with Fauci over his opposition to adopting the use of hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, to treat covid-19 before its effectiveness had been proved.

When Trump and Navarro repeatedly touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for coronavirus, Fauci pushed back both internally and at task force briefings, arguing there was only anecdotal evidence about the drug’s efficacy. The Food and Drug Administration eventually revoked its temporary authorization after evidence showed it was not effective against covid-19 and could be dangerous for some patients.

“Dr. Fauci has a good bedside manner with the public but he has been wrong about everything I have ever interacted with him on,” Navarro said. “Now Fauci is saying that a falling mortality rate doesn’t matter when it is the single most important statistic to help guide the pace of our economic reopening. So when you ask me if I listen to Dr. Fauci’s advice, my answer is only with caution.”

Friends and allies say Fauci doesn’t quit because he loves his job and also feels a great sense of responsibility about helping to develop coronavirus vaccines and treatments — the biggest challenge of his career and the only way the country can truly begin to move past the pandemic. He has long said he does not want to retire before there is an AIDS vaccine.

“He recognizes if he doesn’t intercede, things could fall apart very quickly — even more so than they have already,” said Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. “He does it because he cares about the country and realizes he is uniquely positioned to help in this.”

Although his message is regularly at odds with the president, Fauci is naturally conflict-averse and has sought to establish a personal relationship with the six presidents he has served over his career.

“He’ll try to be accommodating except for principles that are truly not something he can compromise on,” said one former senior administration official who has worked closely with Fauci for years. “He will try to really accommodate and fulfill your reality, but he’s bound by the laws of science.”

In the previous five presidential administrations, Fauci has almost always played a key role in public health emergencies and infectious-disease responses by advising the president and serving as a chief spokesman for both Republican and Democratic administrations.

In many ways, he was shaped by the HIV/AIDS crisis that emerged during his first years as NIAID director when the Reagan administration remained largely silent about a disease afflicting mostly gay men.

Amid fear of the virus and the stigma associated with having the infection, Fauci learned the importance of communicating with the public about new diseases that were little understood. He found out it was critical to speak honestly about the risks, and help people differentiate between valid concerns and unfounded fears, according to several people who have worked with him.

As the face of the HIV/AIDS response, Fauci also developed a thick skin, experiencing the ire of activists who felt an uncaring federal government was not doing enough to make treatments available for dying patients. But over the years, he forged friendships with some of those who had begun as adversaries, activists said.

The lessons learned from the HIV/AIDS outbreak have had an impact on how he has handled almost every public health crisis since. During the 2014 Ebola outbreak, the Obama administration made Fauci its chief spokesperson to explain to people the actual risk of the virus.

Fauci briefed Obama about three times a week and had unlimited access to him if something came up, said Ron Klain, the Obama administration’s Ebola czar and now an adviser to the Biden campaign.

But in the coronavirus pandemic, Klain said Fauci is facing a new challenge: He’s the only member of the administration willing or able to speak plainly about the threat of the virus, in Klain’s view.

Fauci “respects the public,” Klain said. “He has this view that the public can handle the truth, whether it’s good news or bad news and the most important thing is to give people the best information he has at the time. Tony is left being the one person having to carry the weight of speaking honestly about all this stuff.”

On Saturday, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling shared an article on Twitter, titled, “Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate,” adding, “‘People who menstruate.’ I’m sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?” For those of us who have been following as the word “woman” is erased from all womanly things — everything from periods to pregnancy to vaginas — we are well aware of what this code-phrase implies.

Referring to women as “people who menstruate” is no accident: it is to signal “inclusivity.” Who, you might wonder, needs to be “included” in the category of “people who menstruate” beyond, well, those who menstruate? That is to say, those once known as “females.”

Today, of course, words like “women” or “female” are taboo. Some women would prefer to be men and some men are women. There are “female penises” and “men who have babies.” It is a new time, and human narcissism has evolved beyond nature. What is biology, after all, in the face of a “she/her” Twitter bio?

In some ways, it is depressing to witness the level of celebration (sane) women relayed online in response to Rowling’s tweet. It is sad that phrases like “people who menstruate” have been so normalized that to question them seems revolutionary.

There was immediate backlash. Rowling was called a “TERF,” “evil,” a bitch, “scum,” and much more.

Model and trans activist Munroe Bergdorf accused the author of being “transphobic” and said Rowling and other reality-believers constituted “another branch of white supremacy.”

Ben O’Keefe, former senior aide to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, responded, “Shut the fuck up you transphobic fuck.” Rowling defended herself, explaining:

“The idea that women like me, who’ve been empathetic to trans people for decades, feeling kinship because they’re vulnerable in the same way as women — i.e. to male violence — ‘hate’ trans people because they think sex is real and has lived consequences — is a nonsense.”

She added:

“If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.“

It’s odd to feel one has to add a caveat to explain that understanding only women menstruate does not equate to “hate.” It’s almost more odd to have to say this at all, to grown adults who surely understand, at this point, how babies are made, and who have been through puberty themselves. Those of us who have been attempting to make basic statements of fact in public like, “Men are not women” and “It isn’t hate to speak the truth” know all too well the hysteria we can expect in response, though becoming accustomed to this doesn’t make it any less confounding.

I have never understood how anyone could stand by quietly and watch the existence of women be eroded, or say nothing while our friends and colleagues insist those who understand the dictionary definition of “woman” are bigoted. And it seems Rowling has finally gotten to the end of her rope.

The extreme backlash, hate, and misogyny has become the norm. The response to someone like Rowling demonstrates the extent to which trans activists and their allies are so accustomed to having the power to bully celebrities, politicians, friends, and family into submission, that they simply cannot accept a famous woman stepping out of line. It is shocking for them to lose their almost total grip on women and liberals who are meant to care more about being liked than stating the obvious. The religious doctrine sometimes referred to as “cancel culture” demands the confessing of sins and begging for forgiveness from our social media lords. It demands women have a “middle aged moment” rather than stand up for the truth and the other women under attack for doing so.

Even Harry Potter himself felt “compelled” to speak out, and publicly declare his faith, writing:

“Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I. According to The Trevor Project, 78 per cent of transgender and non-binary youth reported being the subject of discrimination due to their gender identity. It’s clear that we need to do more to support transgender and non-binary people, not invalidate their identities, and not cause further harm.”

It is unclear how understanding only females menstruate harms “transgender and non-binary people,” but that’s not the point. The point is that Harry Potter is safe, having disassociated himself from the witch. He has dutifully thrown a log on the fire.

It has felt like we are all living a kind of bizarro world for some time now, wherein women who dare speak the truth are banished, and virtually burned at the stake. And while I’m no more interested in what celebrities say than intellectuals or the non-famous, I wonder if the response to Rowling will wake people up, and lead more to stand up and announce that the emperor has no clothes, and that those who say so are not evil or hateful, but sane. I wonder if this experience will lead Rowling to stand with the women fighting this fight in public or render her silent in an attempt to avoid further flogging. It should be all too clear that there is no winning with this crowd — no level of politeness, kowtowing, or rationalizing can ward off the virulence and misogyny leveled at women who push back against gender identity ideology. You either go full tilt or you surrender to twisting yourself into knots trying to adopt ever changing, evermore nonsensical demands, contorting your language in ways that should feel sacrilegious to a writer. The way forward seems obvious to me.

[phorusrhacidae]

so I’m feeling like making a social media post about things 

you know what really annoys me

1. When people get off the train or platform and just, stand in the center of the exit looking around 

2. When people try to cut in front of everyone to get on the train 

3. When people are... fake laughing or screeching like a) nothing is that fucking funny b) if some rando can tell your laughter is fake then it’s REALLY fake 

4. When swedish girls say “ba” och sen hon ba, och han ba,

5. When swedish boys and young men talk, well in general but especially if they are loud and end their sentences with ...eller?? and when they wear those stupid tiny beanies that don’t cover their ears or just SIT on top of their heads like, DIE 

6. Kids saying sskskskks alleyop I don’t think anyone has ever said that irl, get off the fucking vine type apps which I can’t remember the name of rn. 

6.5 The general notion about how they’re “the digital natives!!11!!! 1 !” and are therefore soooo good at technology and that is why every child should have an ipad all day every day....aaaaahahah well maybe I wouldn’t have such a problem with it if it were even a little bit true but just cause they’ve been banging on an apple touch screen since day one does not mean that they are at all computer literate and guess what they are usually.... not. at all computer literate so color me.... unimpressed. 

7. When people are complaining about swedish food and what passes for “asian food” here and some ding dong has to chime in with “well ACTUALLY all the asian food you’re talking about is a westernized version” we fucking KNOW everyone fucking KNOWS that but why can you get delicious versions of vietnamese/ japansese/ mexican/ whatever food pretty much anywhere else in europe and in small towns in the US and NOT in the supposed capital of scandinavia? That is what we are talking about. 

8. The way swedish people (don’t) raise their children. Up until about 2nd grade they are PRECIOUS ANGELS WHO CAN DO NO WRONG AND MUST BE CATERED TO AT ALL TIMES. Once they’re like 9 years old, “eh, they can take care of themselves” (not like they got any particular supervision before that but anyway). Sorry, but schools should not be democracies. Small children want to do things like play in busy streets and play video games all day instead of going to school. What they need to be doing is learning how to read and write, regardless of whether they want to or not, so why is their input taken into account in this context? hello is everyone insane 

9. How super crappy versions of the same craft supplies cost 5 times as much here or don’t even exist. 

10. I like salt licorice, but it has to be a certain TEXTURE. Swedish gummies are usually either too soft or too hard, like you try to chew them and they just stick to your teeth. 

11. Boring swedish dudes who are not even good looking who have smokin hot girlfriends. I’ve met a few recently and I’m so confused. 

Other thoughts I’ve been having lately: 

1. banked slalom. It was cool, I should have done it more, and I should have been less afraid of being flung out of the track upside down like a wet noodle. It doesn’t hurt that bad. any ideas on how to squash legitimate fears lemme know. 

2. Why is all the cool gear for dudes. does a dude the same height as me really weigh that much more?? Why are the now brigade bindings in the retro colorway only mens medium and large? How are bindings different for men and women, REALLY? 

3. I want to go back to mayrhofen because I could have the park mostly to myself. There was also a junior park, which was adult size features made a lil easier with ramps, etc. In sweden it seems to be either tiny literal baby park or giant terrifying I’m not supposed to be here park and nothing in between. I don’t wanna be falling all over the place and getting stuck around a bunch of way-too-serious swedish douchebros and also... just feels better embarrassing urself in front of foreigners that you’re even less likely to ever see again/who you don’t speak the same language as. 

4. Had a conversation with a friend the other day and she was like “how did you get to be so confident?? You never wear makeup” confident not really, try more. not caring and full of spite. I hate. HAAAAATE the whole “doooon’t compaaaareee yourself to othersss! looove yourselllf ” just, prioritize other things. I love not spending time on makeup or skincare or clothes. like I can admire when other people do it but that doesn’t mean I have to do it. I can still snowboard regardless of my looks and whether I love myself or not so who tf cares. 

5. I don’t know what to do. My procrastination at the moment is INSAAANE and I think maybe it’s because I’m a) a lazy, stupid impostor and/or b) not sure where I’m going at the moment. teaching, not teaching. it’s so good, but also it reminds me all the time why I hate swedish people, fuck   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tonight’s Shit Post Fic (Told In Dashes)

((Now edited and stuff!!))

Premise: Modern!Solus attending a work holiday party with the clear beginning of her loving Triad with her, her girlfriend, and whatever the fuck she counts Pre as. Technically he’s her boss/political pick for whenever they get back to Mandalore to lead/ leader of their Council but they’ve blurred lines for years at this point.

(This got super long so it’s going under a readmore)

-The party’s some winter holiday party in December at a nice place. Naturally, Solus gets to show up dressed to the absolute nines with her hair and makeup on point.

(There’s a Hobeika cocktail dress, Alexander McQueen bag, Fendi glasses, Burberry coat, and her signature Louboutins: lace booties in this specific instant.) 

-Among the wonderful things at this party, besides people she actually likes, is the open bar. Should Solus be drinking? Probably not. Is it going to stop her? No fucking way. There’s champagne drinks to be drank without paying attention.

-She 100% keeps sneaking pictures of Bo Katan in her lovely suit because “My girlfriend is 🔥🔥🔥". So, there’s lots of really dorky social media posts that go on the entire night. 

-(”Cyar’ika, while that’s a nice picture of my ass take it down please.”)

-It’s not at all to make her Trendy Friends/Future Soccer Moms-Crunchy Granola Parents jealous af but it some of it totally is.

-As with any event, even the ones she’s excited for, Sen comes too. He’s wearing his vest because he’s working but he also gets to wear one of his nice collars. It coordinates with her outfit. 

-Before they left home she took a bunch of selfies with him sans his working vest and in one of his bow ties. He’s a very handsome boy and she loves him very much. Of course, everyone has to see how cute they are together and how well he coordinates with her.

-Everything goes really well. There’s a few times she has to retreat for a little bit to catch her breath and calm down. Because there are a lot of people around. Solus is honestly having a good time though. This is her Aliit.

-For once, she’s also not the tiniest person for a change. Those killer heels make her very tall, very leggy, and clearly every inch the goddess she is. Damn right she’s flaunting it.

-Her and Allison from Accounting pal around at various points throughout the night. They swap stories about their beloved animals (Allison has a large, smoke colored standard poodle named Bluebell) and gossip a little.

-They also take a bunch of selfies because they both look good and it’s really fun? Yeah, they’re rough and tough but sometimes it’s really nice to indulge in being super girly too.

-Of course, there’s Solus and various Wrens hanging out too. It’s not an Official Event if Solus, Ty, and Berni aren’t together at least once to talk shit and mess around. Damn right she’s got Ursa into a Selfie too. She even smiled. 

-The Problem happens when Solus hits her “One drink too many” line later into the night then gets pulled into pictures.

-See, she had been dancing around Pre all night because that’s how they work. They’re friendly and super, super close by this point. There’s also tons of sparks that them and Bo had all acknowledged but no one is making a move to turn things Official.

-”Put Solus in the middle” was someone’s brilliant idea for a picture. So, she’s suddenly away of just how nice Pre smells and Bo’s right there looking divine. When she gets an Idea.

-For one round, she casually drops her hand to rest on her lover and her boss’ asses. Because what is impulse control when you’re way past tipsy?

-(That picture is hilarious because she looks super innocent, Pre is clearly confused, and Bo’s cracking up. Someone’s clearly away of what’s going on.)

-Pictures are over but small, cold hands are still casually resting on rear ends and even migrated into back pockets.

-”Solus, what are you doing?” Pre asked because this was going Somewhere. He just isn’t aware of where that Somewhere is or what’s really happening.

“Warming my hands?” Her face is flushed only from the booze. At this point she has absolutely zero shame in doing anything.

“...” Not the answer he expected but also not unexpected.

-Bo steps in because this corner is only going to stay relatively clear for so long before someone Notices. Not that someone hooking up with a coworker is really new at this point. Kyr’tsad is as much a company as a mobile community so the fuck is even going on. 

-(Several someones are winning bets is what is going on. They just don’t know it it yet.)

-”Solus, what are you doing?”

“Taking initiative like you said. Remember, ‘I don’t know. Slap his ass?’ was one of your suggestions.”

“Wasn’t talking about you seriously doing that. And that isn’t slapping.”

-See, that just became a challenge so she pointedly stares Bo down while removing her hand from Pre’s back pocket. Then she casually slaps his ass before going wide eyed. “Wow...it feels as nice as it looks.” 

-Sen, who is very much a husky and therefore cannot blush, is blushing in shame for his handler. Who is clearly toasted.

-”Time to get you home,” Bo remarks before this gets even more out of hand.

-Speaking of hands, no one’s removed them yet. They’re just there. Resting on two fantastic examples of ass. 

-”Remove your hands, Cyare.”

“Will you remove my shirt?”

“You’re wearing a dress.”

“Will you remove your shirt?”

“Not in public.”

-Sen has covered his face with his paws. He is Too Intelligent and knows this is both hilariously bad and definitely embarrassing. 

-”Can we go home then? I want my dress and your shirt off. Everything else too.”

-Pre deserves lots of credit for his brain working and not outright laughing at Solus. Someone trained in tact and grace and People Skills lacks all of them right now. Seriously, he’s watched her charm senators and governors and foreign dignitaries. This shows none of those skills. But, she is very smiley in the moment and truly relaxed...he likes this better.

-Giving it a few seconds pause she looks up at him curiously, “You could come too.” A beat passes as she giggles at her own (terrible) innuendo. The other two just laugh at her while the dog groans. 

-Honestly. Humans.

-”I’ll find my own way home.” He’s very much a gentleman and she is very much blitzed. But, that’s a thought he is certainly going to explore later. Someone’s finally making a move.

-Solus pouts because this is so Unfair. But, she finally drops her hands after a final squeeze. She’s Opportunistic.

-Bo-Katan sits her in a chair with Sen guarding her and goes to collect their coats. Pre asked if she needed help wrangling Solus at least into the Uber but the answer was surprisingly no. Even in death heels she’s really good at not falling.

-Solus, meanwhile, is dropping half the contents of Pre’s wallet or his watch into her purse. Because Drunk!Solus is wingmanning for Sober!Solus tomorrow. He’ll have to stop by to get his stuff.

-Uber goes fine but Bo totally ended up carrying her into the house and up the stairs. Solus is being both adorably snugly and whining “My toes are cold and the snow is too deep for me to walk in.”

-Being a full on Saint, her girlfriend also takes care of her and Sen. Included in this is things like, “Drink this pedialtye. You’ll need it tomorrow” and getting her into a shower. Also hanging up her nice dress, getting her phone on charge, and making sure her make up is taken off. Sen, is far easier to manage.

-If there’s some fun times, who’s blaming her? Solus is very affectionate and making out like teenagers is very fun, even when you aren’t.

-Morning after really kicks off the Saint Status/probably deification of Bo-Katan Kryze. Because Solus is clearly hungover even with the precautions taken. Thus, it’s getting her into another shower, giving her ginger tea, and sitting her in the dark living room with a fuzzy blanket. 

-Also, making breakfast because even hungover girlfriends need to eat. In this case, it’s a ham and cheese omelette and multigrain toast with more electrorlyte drinks. But, it’s food.

-They spend all day cuddling and watching movies. Intermixed with this is taking care of Sen and Solus groaning, “I said that?” or “I did that.”

- Sen’s clearly judging her in between naps and playing with his Kong.

-Pre texts when he woke up asking if they knew what happened to his belongings. Solus gets a deer in the headlights look. 

-”Yeah...I think I pickpocketed you. I’ve got everything in my purse. Wanna stop by Bo’s to get it?”

-Which, again, props to her proving that even sloshed she’s got Sneaky Skills on lockdown.

-Later in the evening, Pre stops by to collect his belongings from his favorite pickpocket.

-Bo-Katan, wingmanning this trainwreck, gives them a chance to be alone. Because they’re the only part of this Thing that needs to really work things out. Her and Pre have their standing arrangements.

-Before she can actually call out, “Just kiss already!” when coming back from taking Sen for a walk. They actually are kissing. It’s almost sweet.

-”Actual talk happens when we’re all not hungover.” was Solus’ rule before making the call for Pre that he’s staying for a while. Namely, to be cuddled by the small koala, who watches French movies and manages to take up body space of both of them.

-There’s occasional making out like teenagers. Because Solus is Opportunistic and Hedonistic.

-”Solus, next time just ask?” Pre reminds her when he finally gets his belongings back.

hi babe ! its snowing so much here today i’ve been cold all day :( but i got some chai latte and made snow angels so i’m feeling a bit better,.. <3

i wish there was a way to trade objects or send them away!! ik it would spiral into hacking, scamming and would probably defeat the purpose of the game by making it much easier but still :( it would be nice to help out friends with some objects.. :(

actually the most annoying thing about mobile is the camera. it sometimes glitches especially during battle and i find myself stuck facing a mountain bc the camera. so i see why people might complain. also sadly NO :( i wish!! i have an old laptop i thought of using but idk if it can handle it. i think i wanna try it out though. do you use a laptop or pc?

that’s true. i wish we could like... unable easy mode and just chill LMAO hsjshdhdk. but combat does get more fun the more you progress, i’ve started to really enjoy it. now i get why you started to like dragonspine.... i think.... i’m still iffy about that place... 🤔 fuck the cold.

dude. they’re sooo good. i love how they just.. angrily reassure each other constantly. kageyama’s just ARGH *literally smacks sense into hinata’s head* and hinata’s just EEE *takes the compliments and spikes like a mf*

i actually didn’t know much about voltron when i first started watching. i only knew about shiro because an acquaintance had posted about his gay announcement but i never checked it out. i actually got into it in a funny way... i was on yt one day and i saw a video titled ‘are keith and lance gay?’ and i was like who the fuck are keith and lance? then because i’m such a gay person myself i decided to check it out and i saw keith and was like... wow that’s a cute boy... then i saw their dynamic and said WOAH. and well... i just started watching and got hooked and i thought everything was neat and fun so i watched up until season 3 without engaging in any fan activities so i had no idea what people were saying...,, then i did and i was greeted with the shit storm. and the rest is history. but i can imagine it must’ve been so fun... the excitement of not knowing where the story will go and getting new content and being in the fandom while it was alive despite everything.... ahhh how did you find out about the show?

Hello! Love your blog! 💕 Thank you so much for it! Makes me happy to see anything you post. How would the boys help a s/o who's trying to step away from "friends" who only use her for their convenience but don't actually care for her?

Sen: Yo my dude, if you sent this in cause this happened to you, we’re here to talk. YOU’RE JUSTIFIED IN HATING PEOPLE WHO USE YOU.

Ushijima

“Why??? Can’t you just??? Leave them?” He really doesn’t understand why his s/o doesn’t just cut them off instantly and is this 👌 close to getting involved himself to talk to these people to get them to leave his s/o alone. When he’s actually told that he can’t do anything about it, he gets a bit distant, angered at his s/o’s decision to ignore his warning.

Semi

He’s at a loss for words when he’s told. He holds his tongue from bad mouthing these people, just in case his s/o still has sentiment towards them and focuses on just comforting them instead. All he could think of in his anger is just to tell them how much he loves and cares for his s/o and that he’ll be there to help them through this all.

Reon

He first makes sure that his s/o has calmed down first once they’re finished telling him their side of the story then sits down with them, making them a cup of tea to ease their stress. He’s pretty serious as he looks at them, holding their hands tightly as he tries to tell them that it won’t be easy letting go but it’s for the best anyways and that he’ll be there for them.

Tendou

Calming his s/o down is his first action. After that, he’s ready to take an absolute shit on the people that dared to wrong his s/o like this. At first he confronts them about it, but if they dare to deny anything, he’ll make their embarrassment much more worse. He’s got a big enough social media following to humiliate them with every chance he gets, pranking them and wishing to make their life utter hell. No mercy at all.

Goshiki

He really doesn’t know what to say to them but just pulls them in for a tight and firm hug. There isn’t any word to describe how Goshiki feels for them but all he knows is that he wants to protect his s/o from ever being used like that. He’s been through the same things and knowing that someone had the audacity to do something like this to his s/o just makes him rethink a lot about how much he trusts people.

Shirabu

He’s beyond livid. Though he wouldn’t care if it was anyone else, he’d be all up for publicly shaming and potentially ruining the lives of whoever dared to fuck over his s/o like that. Shirabu doesn’t even wait to tell his s/o about his plans and instead turns to his salt squad (basically some kids he shit talks with in the library) to exact revenge on these guys.

Kawanishi

In all fairness, it shouldn’t be his business but knowing that his s/o is being used just kills him inside. While he’d rise up for a petty challenge to ruin these so called ‘friends’, he knows that he has to confront his s/o first with this plot. If they tell him not to act, he just sighs and tells them to deal with it by themselves, a bit annoyed by how they won’t take him seriously.

Yamagata

“Do you want me to beat them up because I could totally do that.” He isn’t a guy who’s violent at all, but when someone dares to play with his s/o’s emotions, he’s ready to let someone eat his fist. But first thing first is obviously hugging his s/o tightly and telling them how much he loves and appreciates them, and how much those people are undeserving of their amazingness.

I have begun to realize just how stressed and down right exhausted i have become. Im sad. I don’t take care of myself like i should. I would even say i do the bare minimum just to keep me going. I know i need help, but how can you ask for help when you don’t even know whats going on.

In 2015 i learned how to truly start loving myself. “Everything was beautiful and nothing could hurt.” During this fragile time i met a boy. We began dating about 7-8 months after we met. He was spiritually and emotionally beautiful. We found life in each other. I never thought i would have to worry about my future after that, cause it was him. I thought this to be my only other true love besides my first. We were naively happy. We supported each other and loved each other for who were, and what we were becoming. We met each others friends and families, and feel even more in love with the idea that these were the people we would surround ourselves with. After about 4-5 months of me practically living with him we started talking about moving in together.( My plans before him were to move to Chattanooga,TN and attend Chatt State Comm. College.) We talked it over for a couple weeks, and we both decided Chattanooga was the place for us. To save money he gave up his room in an apartment he shared with 2 of his friends, and we moved in with my mom to save money. This is where things began to get a little less easy for us. As you would imagine once we became distracted with more and more worldly things, we began to loose that spirituality i loved so much. I didn't pay much attention to this, because we weren't having any problems we couldn't fix, and i mean c’mon i loved him. But what i didn't notice, and what should have been my upmost importance was not loosing myself in our problems and our relationship.

He began making remarks like, “oh, who are you wearing that makeup for?,” “why are you getting all dressed up?,” or even “Who do you keep changing your hair for?” ( I have had many different fashion shades in my hair) I did it all to keep his interest and for his validation. One of my biggest insecurities is my body, as it is for most people. When i didn't get the validation i thought i needed i began criticizing myself so much, i almost began to hate myself. Soon things started getting sen worse. He alienated me from my friends, and would give me excuses like they are good people, and they are going to get me into trouble with dumb things. So to appease the arguing i began seeing my friends less and less, and started looking to him for my identity. I was no longer my own person. I didn't have a taste in music, and i would look to his advice for what to wear, yet somehow, this was still not enough.

Even better, i was upfront about a few things before we started dating:

1. I am still friends with all of my exes, because i don't believe that somebody who meant so much to your life should be excluded just because you don't see a forever together.

2. DO NOT CURSE TOWARDS ME IN ANY KIND OF NEGATIVE MANNER. you might as well have layed hands on me

Now, as you can expect he called me a bitch for the first time in a fight. I laid down the law and said if he did it again i would leave him . He did it again. I didn't leave him, but he apologized and cried, so he meant it right? Wrong. He kept doing it and even though i would fight with him about not doing that i didn't stop him. So at this point I'm to busy stressing about money, work, school, amongst other things to notice just how hallow of a shell of a person i had become.

I was taking abuse up and down, left and right, but i loved him? He could always be the way he was and we could always still be just as happy as we were before. I just need to get my act together, i would tell myself.

My mom bought us an i pad, after, she realized wes was always using my laptop for games and i was falling behind on my online courses. Well, as you can probably foresee he took advantage of this thoughtful gift to use it against me.

I was texting a good friend of mine from hs, mind you we had our own set of problems but she was none the less my friend. As everybody at the time did, she told me i should leave him. She didn't go into detail about what he was doing wrong or anything he had done to hurt me. She said she just wants to see me happy and she didn't think i was. I didn't agree with her, but i didn't disagree with her either. We didn't spend much time on this topic, but wes saw it by going through my messages coming in on the i pad. While i couldn't get to my phone this particular saturday, because we work by ourselves, he took it upon himself to message her as if being me. However, he always made the fatal flaw of never sounding like me in his messages. I think he was more obsessed with saying what he had to, rather than actually putting it in my own words. So she caught on pretty quickly that it wasn't me, and it wasn't long before i noticed there messages sent to her that weren't mine. I immediately called wes to tell him how wrong he was for doing that, and he turned it right around on me. He was saying things like, “How could you let your friends talk about me this way,” and i started explaining that no matter what anybody says it all comes down to how i feel about the other person. I even tried to comfort him by saying that it happens with most of my ex’s, but nothing calmed him. It got much, much worse. It went from him texting jamie as me, to him just texting her, to @ing each other on twitter. I was consistantly going back and forth between trying to focus on the store and trying to tame my personal life. They were taking turns showing each other their cows without real scratching. Empty threats and just hurtful words back and forth about each other and anybody they can involve. Since this made its way to social media, a few of my other friends found themselves getting involved for a brief moment as well. Neither side was really looking for a resolution. They were all just looking for entertainment. Nobody did what they did for me, or to help me. When everything stopped, I asked everybody to take down what they had posted because I didn't agree with anybody's actions. Everybody agreed, and did so except wesley and Jamie. They were the only ones to give me grief about deleting their post. At this point i had given up. I only fought with wesley to take down his posts and i just couldn't handle the extra stress from jamie. It was all too much.

I was always the one apologizing, even when it wasn't my fault. He has a mystical way of manipulating the situations we put ourselves in. Im just a nagging bitch, who can't keep my legs closed i guess. Even if consciously i didn't believe what he was saying about me i still absorbed that hate, but i held it internally against myself.

It wasn't just emotional, psychological, and mental abuse. It got physical a few times. Ive been thrown against a wall, dragged in a house over concrete steps, scratching up the entire backs of my calves ( i told my friends and co-workers i was drunk and slipped on the very same stairs). I have had my arm crushed in a cast iron door, and to be honest this is the first time I'm telling anybody, and there is nobody to listen.

We were sitting his animals at his parents one weekend while they were out of town. I don't even remember the fight, but i remember running away from him. I remember anytime he got close to me i couldn't breathe and i just needed to not be in his house or near him. He continued to follow me around the very house he also would let me out of. He took my keys so it didn't do me any good to try and leave his house anyway. At this point I'm physically suffocating, crying so hard i can't see where I'm running. I find a way to lock myself in the bathroom. Alone with me in this bathroom was a pocket knife he would keep with him. I contemplated cutting. Holding the knife on my thigh and gently rubbing it on the skin i was ready to tear to pieces. I paused to look out the window at the sky and saw him. taking pictures of me. yelling, “You’re fucking crazy, you psycho bitch.” He even went as far to send the picture to my phone and save them in my album, just so i could look at them.

Don’t get me wrong i tried to leave a few times but it always ended the same way. He was going to hurt himself or our dog, he had possession of after being kicked out of my moms house. Of course he made many threats, towards me and others, that never held any truth, but there is always that one time he could. So out of fear that he would hurt himself or our dog, i stayed.

this went on for a year.

Finally, i worked up the courage to leave him. It did not go well. We were in the car and i was driving. I was talking to him about on the way to his house where i planned to drop him off and go home. That didn't happen like that. He started playing with the wheel and trying to throw us off the road. I ended up parking in a church parking lot where he proceeded to get out of the car. Now i know with the way he was i should have just left, but he made sure to grab my phone before exiting. He then began going through it, because there could be no there logical reason for me to leave him unless for another person. Atleast, thats how he saw it. He even went as far, after i got out to retrieve my phone, to take the keys out of the ignition. I was tired of running after him so i sat in the car and locked the doors. Well he walked a ways away, but came back. He told me he had thrown my keys in the grass of the front lawn of this church. This wasn't even true. When he refused to look for the keys i got out to do it myself. He then jumped in and started the car acting as if he would leave me there. I got in the car and he drove us to his parents. All along the way he just kept saying I'm not leaving him and we aren't over. Once at his parents i told him i was leaving, which caused yet another scene. This actually promoted his parents to come outside. HIs mom was trying to beth him to let me leave and when he wouldn't listen to her she went and got his father. During this time he got in his car and parked at the end of the driveway so i couldn't leave. His father came to my window and said he would call the cops and i just needed to drive through the yard. I didn't want him to be in such a position with his parents. I even started giving in a little saying i would take him somewhere else, seeing as he didn't want to stay at his parents. I ended up being able to leave that night and go home around 2 AM. This all started at about 6 in the evening.

From this moment out this began to get overwhelming. He showed up at my house and even walked through the door that leads straight to my room. I didm answer when he knocked originally. He was basically squatting on my front porch till i talked to him. He was telling me once again all the things he was going to do to change and make up for all the bad stuff. So to appease his need for communication i gave in and said we could keep contact through texting, but only as i wished. Of course i didn't text back a whole lot and kept my distance as much as possible. Being the manipulator he was, he knew what to say to get me to respond, and i did. When he began being hostile again about my lack of communication i blocked him on all platforms of communication. He didn't give up.

He found a way to contact me. *67. He would call me repeatedly one after the other until i picked up or one of our phones died. I checked my phone one morning and found he had accumulated 380 missed calls in what i thought was 36 hours. He later corrected me to tell me it was 24 not 36.

Of course he knew where i worked and he used that to his advantage. Knowing only one person works on weekend days, he would call from *67 to my work line, knowing i had to pick up each call, and i would repeatedly hang up. it  was easily over 100 phone calls to the work phone alone. Customers were beginning to notice.

After all of this i finally took the advice my friends had been giving me for months. I filed for an order of protection.
