Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Where do I start? You are one of my best friends and I wouldn’t have it any other way! We get each other in ways others don’t and don’t judge each other when we get all crazy! LOL
I love our random our random phone calls and how we laugh at everything and anything! I love knowing that I have someone i can always count on!
You truly amaze me in everyway! I am so happy and thankful that you freaking exist because damn my life would be so dull without you.
I hope you have an amazing day today, because it’s your day and you deserve to celebrate and worry about the hang over and head ache tomorrow LOL!
Hmmmm, I’m actually really bad with dates but maybe a month or a little bit more? I will say it feels like I’ve known them for a lifetime. Honestly, I’m extremely lucky and proud to be a Tiller. I love my family so much! Our GC is always lit and I know I can depend on everyone whenever I need them. They are my safe haven and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
2. You and Alina are cute af! How long have yall been dating? And what kind of advice would you give to other couples having relationship troubles?
Awww thank you! We have been dating for 2 months (I actually have to remember this or my gf will kill me) and she’s honestly the best surprise of my life. the best advice I can offer is to fight for each other and don’t stop fighting “if you’re going through hell, keep going”. Relationships aren’t easy and we’ve had to go through so many obstacles in order to get to where we are now but I can honestly say that it’s only made us stronger as a couple. Also, don’t disregard your significant others feelings no matter how small and stupid it may seem, you never know what they have been through it’s their last relationship and that’s why they act the way they do. Overall just remember that the problems are only temporary and its not worth losing the person you love over a fight you won’t remember happened in a year from now all because you both can’t agree on something.
Side note: I’m completely and utterly in love with Alina and I’d do anything for her. I wish she could see herself the way I see her because she truly amazes me in every way.
I heard about the blowout between the Jerzaks, and Alina. What happened? Care to elaborate on the details?
Out of respect to Alina’s privacy I will not disclose what happened in details because it’s in the past and we tend to leave it like that although most of you already know what happened due to a public post.
4. Are you still on speaking terms with any of the Jerzaks?
Nope
5. Is there anyone on rp you look up to editing wise? Or just in general.
Editing wise?? Colson italee, she’s a beast and taught me how to apply actions lol & because of that I am able to share premades for people on tillerscrs.tumblr.com
In general there’s a lot of people who have my maximum respect and that is Zeke Tiller, Dover Korscia, Chesni Shake, Eric Lacour, Kassi Korscia, Etnies Cocktail, Danni Dash, Wolfe, Kolby Kyzan, & my babygirl Alina.
There are 3 people I would like to mention I’ve acknowledged from afar and that’s Taber Lacour, Lani Madej, Civ Essence, & Atari Komani.
& I would like to give a special s/o to my family because I know some of them are going through a lot lately but no matter what challenges life has thrown at them they haven’t given up and they are handling things day by day. I honestly don’t know where they find their strength but I admire that a lot and I learn from them everyday.
6. What do you think about this whole face claim ordeal? Do you think people are taking things out of proportion when they get mad over "claiming" faces?
I think the face claim is stupid, I’m gonna roleplay who I wanna roleplay. Idc if people state I’m always changing faces but I can’t help that people are so sexy and I need to show them off 🤷🏻♂️
I do however believe that if a person is roleplaying someone unique people should respect that and at least ask if they are okay with roleplaying them as well.
7/8. How long have you and Chesni Shake been friends? How long have you and Danni Dash been friends?
I have no idea because I’m bad with dates but they are both my best fucking friends and I love them so dam much. I can’t see myself without them and they aren’t just my rp friends but my rl friends as well. Whenever I’m sad or just bored I know I can always call them and they will always answer me (except Chesni in the mornings, if I wake her up she will scream at me and hang up lol) I can confide in them with anything and know that my trust will never be betrayed. I know they genuinely care about me and when I lose myself they always find a way to pull me out of it. You guys mean the world to me, please don’t ever forget that!
9. Do you have any personal beef with anyone on rp right now?
Warning: repetitious flashing/pulsing lights
When your phoneticist tried to teach you how to clearly enunciate the relationship between Spanish topography and climate but the lesson randomly becomes the most FIRE pasodoble remix.

See The Full List Of The Winners Of The 2020 Grammy Awards: The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards was hosted by veteran singer, Alicia Keys, who has repeated her job as a bright host, with performances from Ariana Grande, Rosalía, Demi Lovato and some more.

The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards took place this year under the shadow of major tumult at the Recording Academy. They also began just hours after news broke that NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his . daughter Gianna and seven others died in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles.
Despite the somber mood, the stars showed up for a night of performances, Grammy Moments and of course the distribution of the awards themselves. Among the many winners who received awards before the evening ceremony began were Lizzo, Rosalía, Willie Nelson and Tanya Tucker. Alicia Keys was set to reprise her role as sunny host, with performances on the docket from Ariana Grande, Rosalía, Demi Lovato and many more.
Going into the evening, Lizzo led with the most nominations (eight), while Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish followed with six apiece. All three of those artists contended for Best New Artist (though their respective newness varies), alongside five other artists, in the first year of an expanded category.
Below, see the winners of the 2020 Grammy Awards, updating live throughout the evening.

New top story from Time: See All the Winners of the 2020 Grammy Awards
The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards took place this year under the shadow of major tumult at the Recording Academy. They also began just hours after news broke that NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his . daughter Gianna and seven others died in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles.
Despite the somber mood, the stars showed up for a night of performances, Grammy Moments and of course the distribution of the awards themselves. Among the many winners who received awards before the evening ceremony began were Lizzo, Rosalía, Willie Nelson and Tanya Tucker. Alicia Keys was set to reprise her role as sunny host, with performances on the docket from Ariana Grande, Rosalía, Demi Lovato and many more.
Going into the evening, Lizzo led with the most nominations (eight), while Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish followed with six apiece. All three of those artists contended for Best New Artist (though their respective newness varies), alongside five other artists, in the first year of an expanded category.
Below, see the winners of the 2020 Grammy Awards, updating live throughout the evening.
