I AGREE SO MUCH ABOUT CHILD BRIDE. i went into it knowing nothing about the author, and in the forward shes really emphasizing how crazily obsessed she was with priscilla so i guess i was expecting it to be a sympathetic view of her😭 definitely not. what is suzzanes problem dear lord. shes so convinced and desperate to tell you that priscilla was some evil teenaged succubus out for rockstar blood. jesus christ. like girl even if she actually was who gives a shit????? same goes for currie grant. i dont care if he showed the author concrete evidence on a golden platter that he was telling the truth. hes just such an obvious sleazeball. just disgusting……. and she dedicates like 300 chapters to him saying over and over again that he fucked 14yo priscilla and that she was into it. babe they couldve had a steamy decade-long affair and NOBODY would care because he is literally just some random creep ass loser 13 years older than her. and when it comes to his attempted rape of her hes literally like “no i didnt try to rape her i just [decribes attempting to rape her]”. i really dont know suzzanes backstory but she is insane.

but uh. anyways that aside i did enjoy parts of the book for the more in depth view of the story. like suzzanne has such intense bias that really shows throughout but even with that it was still a great way to understand some of the situations a little better… i wish elvis and me was a little more detailed but i can appreciate how and why it is. and i am strangely curious about the actual nature of priscilla and curries relationship (i dont think they ever had consensual sex but i do believe he attacked her before elvis left germany and that leaves me curious as to why she still hung around him afterwards... i.e. those pictures of her to send to elvis that he took)

sorry for the huge wall of text im just.... very .. intrigued? by the book? its just so bizarre and raises a lot of questions lol.

“Currie’s like “No I didn’t try to r*pe her I just [describes atttempting to r*pe her]”

YES THANK YOU!!

if I could, in my own words, summarize the transcript of the conversation between Priscilla & Currie it would be this ⬇️

Currie: I didn’t r*pe you

Priscilla: You forced yourself on me

Currie: I didn’t force anything, you just weren’t into it

Priscilla: So you didn’t try to kiss me?

Currie: Well yeah I was trying to kiss you, you just wouldn’t kiss me back. You were very cold

again that was just my own words so not the actual transcript but that is exactly what I got out of that conversation- which is Currie denying he forced anything on her while simultaneously describing just how unresponsive she was to his advances, so THANK YOU for articulating that perfectly

He is an absolute sleaze-ball as you said, and clearly did not realize he was incriminating himself throughout that whole exchange

like even if Currie’s version of the events were true (I highly doubt it), he still committed statutory r*pe. Perhaps Suzanne and him don’t understand the age of consent but a fourteen year old girl cannot consent to intercourse, so anything he may or may not have actually done to her is still R*PE, whether she seemed willing or not. I’m completely abhorred that a biographer would give a man like that such a large platform and not only that, but agree/go with the story he tells- I’m sickened by it

and god, his reasoning as to why he wouldn’t need to r*pe Priscilla is just the most insane thing I’ve ever read ⬇️

“I had at least ten girls that I could call any night and go have sex with them,” countered Currie. “I’m not bragging—at least ten. I didn’t need to rape anybody ”

excerpt is from “Child Bride” by Suzanne Finstad

okay like?? Ted Bundy had a longtime girlfriend and yet he still went out and s*xually assaulted and murdered women… what’s your point, Currie?

what also bothers me is that Suzanne Finstad is sitting on the full audio tapes of that conversation between Priscilla and Currie, and knowing her history of misquoting people and writing things that don’t line up with other testimonies, I wouldn’t be surprised in the very least if parts of that tape have been conveniently left out, or transcribed wrong, as she converted it from audio to text

like the whole 1961 photoshoot, as you mentioned, is something that I just wish I could hear Priscilla explain for herself

Priscilla Presley and Currie Grant in 1961

It does raise the question if what she said transpired was true why would she ever want to be alone with Currie again, and better yet, why would Elvis willingly put her in a situation like that?

Especially when he was aware of the attempted r*pe ⬇️

MARTY LACKER: “There was a guy who used to bring Priscilla around to Elvis’s house some, over there in Germany. He would take her home to her parents’ place, and then he’d go back to the barracks. Well, he was a scumbag. He was using cute little girls to get into the house, to be around Elvis. And he tried to put the make on Priscilla one night when he took her home. She says in her book that he tried to rape her. But he didn’t succeed. Elvis told us about it, himself”

excerpt is from “Elvis and the Memphis Mafia” by Alanna Nash

The only explanation in my mind that makes sense is that perhaps Currie Grant was Elvis’ only remaining contact in Germany- or at least the only person in contact with Priscilla- and since he was so desperate to see her again, maybe thought that the reward outweighed the risk

And obviously a 15-year-old Priscilla was still reeling over him leaving Germany and would likely agree to anything to please him…plus since it was Elvis who asked Currie to take the photos, maybe she thought if Elvis trusted him to do that, she could trust him as well ?

And although I doubt she intended too, Suzanne inadvertently said something similar when trying to do one of those logical fallacies that she does throughout the duration of “Child Bride” ⬇️

“Priscilla, despite her claim that Currie tried to rape her, was thrilled to oblige, “desperate” for word from Elvis, through Currie”

excerpt is from “Child Bride” by Suzanne Finstad

I feel like Suzanne is basically answering the dilemma herself despite her attempt to point out the inconsistency in Priscilla’s behavior (her being afraid of Currie, but also being around him)

Priscilla was willing to be photographed by her attempted assaulter as she was desperate for contact from Elvis and Currie just happened to be that link between them

and I have to say, my original response to the ask that I received about “Child Bride” was something that I was worried about posting as many of the more passionate anti-Priscilla crowd tend to treat it like it’s their Bible but WHEW- I am beyond relieved that so many people have also seen just how outrageous that book is, especially the narrative that Suzanne Finstad goes with- like as you said, trying to make a fourteen-year-old Priscilla out to be some “teenaged succubus” LMAOOO (that took me out 💀)

I honestly consider myself to be Priscilla-neutral despite what some people assume of me based on some my posts 🤧 and so because of that, I am very open to reading and discussing the valid criticisms against her HOWEVER- I have no time in my day to take someone like Currie Grant seriously so that is why the first half of “Child Bride” (chapters about Germany and what fourteen-year-old Priscilla may or may not have done) are just what ruin the whole book for me

And it’s a shame because again, there are some very valid things that Suzanne points out about Priscilla, especially the things that were left out of “Elvis and me”; like her inconsistencies in recalling certain events, her sometimes questionable character (treatment of others), her possible greed (suing and more suing) and the biggest one to me- her involvement in Scientology… but all of that is just dampered by Suzanne’s god awful commentary and god awful judgement

also girl please do not apologize for sending this in- I sincerely thank you for adding to the conversation about this book as I think these kinds of discussions are so beneficial and I’m just truly grateful to be able to have them with y’all- I’ve fr learned so much from your guys’ insight

and since there is such a surplus of information about Elvis (and Priscilla), I feel like the best way to navigate through it all is by breaking it down like this, and so if y’all ever want to talk about another book feel free to send in your thoughts <3!!!

Gosh im so sorry for bothering but i absolutely ADORE the way you see taco, and ykw? This is so true, like you mentioned, she has nowhere else to go, this game fucked up her mental health really bad but she stills sticks to it and her plan because as far as she is concerned this is the only thing she has left She lost EVERYTHING for this game, but she is still going because again what else was for her? She is pretty much homeless, lonely and hurt horribly hurt, her actions are hurting her way more but she doesn't seem to realize that, taco is def the kind of person who would just push away their feelings and problems until they become too big for them to handle and this would probably lead to a breakdown and honestly she has all the right to being sad

She lost mic the only one who could possibly understand her, leaving her hurt knowing that the only person she could rely on is now gone add to the pile the possibility that there is no prize and you have a recipe for the disaster

This girl needs help, she needs somebody to lead her to the right way, she needs someone to rely on, im sure at some point everything is going to become way too overwhelming for her and this time she wont be able to hold it not anymore, she held already many feelings inside her , and this wont lead to something good

She needs support, support from people who can help her grow and overcome all her problems, but that only can happen if she allows to be helped and not push them away this time

She needs somebody to make her fully open her eyes and realize how badly hurt she is but again she doesn't have anybody she is just, alone and miserable

And the worst part

She doesn't seem to have another choice because like i mentioned over and.over again inanimate insanity is the only thing she has left i imagine an scenario of mic asking her why is she even try for them taco to just let out the

"I lost absolutely everything, if i lose then all of THIS would have been nothing, this is the ONLY chance i have i cant just let it go on a waste!"

Or smth like that audio that is smth like "i have to! (Why?!) Because if i dont— that means that all the damage i got isn't good damage its just damage"

And there you have, i hate sm how missinterpreted her character is or how so many people ignore how much she actually cared about mic and just assume she didn't cared for her at all which is far away from the truth and i hope more people can see how fucked up this woman mental stability is

I'm tired of being epileptic

A lot of the time I cant find lyric videos or lyric videos are taken down. I'm so sick and tired of new music videos being full of flashing lights. I have seen numerous people who aren't epileptic claim its "too much" makes them dizzy, distracts from the MV because its constant in so many songs I've seen as of late both in independant music and in kpop. For the past 3 years. It makes it impossible (Unless an audio or lyric video is available) for epileptics to enjoy music. And a lot of the times Audios or lyric videos some a visualizers which have the exact same problem.

If thats not bad enough heres some more issues Youtube Ads: I constantly get ads with flashing lights for goddamned phones or other crap no matter how many times I report it to youtube and remind them people have epilepsy. And while yes adblocker is an option youtube let me remind everyone is f*cking with adblock and not everyone has the money to throw down on a sub to youtube to remove ads and shouldn't have to for a DISABILITY

Youtube Shorts: Nowadays its become so common for certain popular creators I will not name drop, to use rapid flashing lights in their videos. I have reached out to them via emails to say "Hey can you add an epilepsy warning to the beginning if possible because shorts autoplay and flashing lights can seriously harm epileptics. Never get any response email back and they keep doing it, even when I get other people to email them to get their attention.

Tiktoks: Not all tiktoks with flashing lights get the epilepsy warning on them, I dont know if creators can set this so im not going to b*tch about the creators for this but I still want to bring up this IS an issue. Tumblr: Yes even here has had issues where people won't tag posts with epilepsy warnings putting epileptics who are trying to avoid said things at risk.

Why is this all a problem? Because people with epilepsy can potentially DIE from seizures. It doesn't take much to add a quick epilepsy warning on videos, Ads SHOULD be regulated for safety in the first place because they are FORCED. This is peoples LIVES that people are carelessly playing with. Oversight is one thing. But theres no excuse for ignoring the issue. Why can't people stop to think: What if this was my parent, my friend, my sister, brother, cousin, child in some cases because some of these ppl are parents. My family didn't realize I was epileptic until I had a MAJOR seizure because all I had before that was SILENT seizures, the type where you look like you are fine but you are unresponsive.

So it could be literally ANYONE they know. yet they still are so careless. its not like epilepsy is a new thing either. So I do not understand WHY people are so irresponsible.

TL;DR creators and sites are being irresponsible putting lives at risk and its not hard to just regulate ads for safety and add a few second warnings to the beginning of videos.

I usually play videogames with no audio cuz when I have it on I get easily bored. For example last month I started pokemon sword and tbh never played it with vol on and when I did that for the first time I was like “? Why the sounds are so annoying?”. Idk probably I’m weird but I get easily overwhelmed with sounds. It’s kinda funny because when I listen to music I listen to black metal/rock in general. But when I’m busy drawing things I like to listen to true crime podcasts. Yeah I’m one of those obsessed with serial killers cases.

And yeah, fear and hunger is just straight up hard. I was surprised the first time but I’m still trying to finish it (I want to die/hj). So far I’m loving sm hades! The character designs are so pretty? Ofc I like Dionysus the most, he was and still is my favorite icon. Just to ask, who’s your fav greek mythological figure? I’m curious. Personally I’m also extremely into the myth of Hyacinth the most. Probably I read too many graphic novels about him ahah. And! Are you perhaps also into egyptian mythology? Since I was a kid I was so obsessed with mummies and the first time I saw one I was so anxious lol.

When I was in school I also had problems at school, mostly because at the time I was the only emo kid and all my classmates were… normal? I liked to dress black, enjoyed spending time writing horror stories and I was a major creepypasta lover. But I genuinely sucked at oral tests. Probably you only had some random quizzes but where I live we also have oral ones. And I fucking hated to speak in front of people. So drawing during classes was a sort of stress relief to my anxiety! So I completely get you :(

This is funny but I always was extremely talented at singing, although at some point I started to find annoying to perform in front of people. And in general the idea of studying in theater looked “uncool” in my teen years. Now I completely changed opinion and I’m a musical fan lol. My family always tried to push me into trying this world in some ways through the years and only some months ago I finally decided to open up. It’s scary tho. You shouldn’t gave up your dreams. Realistically speaking you can start studying in the future if you really want to pursuit violin! ^^

What are you doing now? I hope everything’s going well! <3 -🩹

i always play with audio on since a lot of games i play have audio cues into it, but i understand sometimes the game sounds can be annoying

god me too, to all of the music and the true crime; i mainly liten to true crime at work tho or when im playing minecraft for some strange reason

it sounds like a pain but i so get that,,

my favorite always has been aphrodite and always will be <3

i used to be kinda an egyptian myth nerd but i would have to relearn a lot tbh

sometimes we had presentations tests so i think thats as close to relating with the oral tests but the rest i totally understand

my family is kinda controlling of what i do, if they dont like that i picked up a hobby or something they let me know, like cosplaying for example i find it really difficult because my dads a little creepy and my mom refuses to acknowledge or be arpund me if she notices that i am and its to the point that it becomes a really big problem in my house so now ive got like really expensive cosplays and o barely do it anymore to keep some peace in my house ueue when i move out ill probably pick up a lot of my old hobbies like cosplay, art, streaming, and music stuff maybe ill even pick back up baking who knows!

im still playing dead space tbh,, its so fun but i just asked my brother a steam question and he closed out of dead space so i just lost a good chunk of progress sigghhhh, i hope your days been going well too though :D tell me if you do anything fun <3

Coming on here to talk shit feels shady but ima do it anyways...

I honestly don't know if I'm the problem or if my “friends” are the problem. But we are always clashing and I feel like I'm going insane every time I engage with them. I tell them time and time again that I am disabled and they are going to have to be a little patient with me because I don't understand things as quickly as they do. They say “that has nothing to do with this” and that It’s “SUPER easy” and I just need to “actually try”.

I was just saying that I hate riding the bus at night, because it is dark and I can't see anything so idk when my stop is going to come up.

“Read the sign” “learn the name” “pay attention”.

Oh yeah WOW YOU THINK I DIDNT FUCKING THINK OF THAT!??!!? YOU DONT THINK IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THAT AND HAVE BEEN DOING THAT!?!? They act like the signs and the audio cue are 100% reliable. U guys ride the bus!!! You know this!?!??!

This is my first time riding the bus by myself and navigating on my own. I have no fucking idea what im doing. Shame on me for not knowing all the streets and stop names of a bus I've only ridden like twice. There are 3 different buses that take me to the same location. And yeah i'm going to have to learn the stops for all of them. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm not saying I refuse to do it, I'm just saying it's going to be very hard for me bcuz that's how my brain works. And then they all like to gang up on me, and ignore everything I say? And keep rehashing the same bullshit they always say.

I guess they don't like that I try to defend myself? I try to explain to them why it's hard for me, so maybe they'll understand. So they don't berate me every time I mention that I'm struggling with something. But they just think I'm lazy? And that I don't try? And they give me “advice” and talk to me like im stupid.

“I'm not gonna argue with you. Feels like I'm arguing with a brick wall. Common sense isn't that common anymore I guess. You’re a living example btw”.

Who said we were arguing? Everytime i mention something is difficult for me, it's like their favourite time to attack me. I wasn't begging or complaining or asking for help. It was just a silly “good damn its really fucking dark outside😭”.

And I know I could go off. I want to, but then I realize it's not worth my time, so I just mute the group chat and go about my day. Nothing i've said has gotten through to them, and I don't think it will. I don't know if what I'm feeling is the correct feeling? Like should this piss me off? As much as it does? I was about to call them up and curse them out. Are they actually correct? Is it really this easy? Why is it so hard for me to learn something so simple? Idk how to fix it. Ugh.

hey im so sorry but i didnt understand this post the article, like why are they doing it? whats the actual reason, i tried to read but i couldnt

hi! thats ok bud, i hope i can briefly explain it a little bit for you! (i also had trouble reading the full article so my answer here wont cover Everything that was written there, but i know these things are 100% happening)

theres different factors that go into it, and every production is different etc etc but some of the main points are:

a. lack of respect for the sound department. on lots of film sets sound is seen as less important than other departments, and this often means they get the least accommodations.

a common example of this is after a take is filmed, a sound recordist might need a redo for them to get a better quality sound recording, but theyre denied due to time constraints; or the boom mic (the ones attached to the end of a long pole thats held out of frame) wasnt able to get close enough for clean audio, or other such things. (a kind of infamous thing with this is the way soundies have to fight for their fucking lives to be able to record one minutes room tone(ambient noise to put under dialogue so it sounds more real) on set with the whole crew silent)

b. sound is unfortunately victim to the "fix it in post" hellscape, where if its impossible or simply annoying to get a good recording on set, higher ups will just push the problems outlined above onto the sound editors in post production. so lots of times editors are starting out with poor quality material to work with

this has become perhaps a bigger problem in recent years with advancements in audio technology, which means that sound editors can do a lot more nowadays than they could 10 years ago. think of how photo editing was hugely advanced by the invention of photoshop, and what sorts of things you can remove and add from images now. similarly with sound editing, theres lots more options for fixing audio now, and a lot of times sound editors have to cobble together passable edits from audio files that arent clean.

c. still on technology, sound needs to be put together AND played in specific ways for different places in order to have the best quality. there are specific settings for cinemas and different ones for streaming direct to tv, and there is sometimes a gap between how sound is mixed and how its played. the article talks about certain cinema chains who play the sound at a lower level than the industry standard, which greatly affects how its heard

d. a really big one recently is creative direction. in recent years the creative "vision" so to speak has really changed and this affects both how directors want sound to be mixed (including extremely loud ambient noise or music, which makes it harder to hear dialogue) and also how actors are delivering their lines. the article talks about a type of delivery style thats becoming a lot more popular recently where actors speak in much quieter or breathier voices which is much harder to cleanly record.

sometimes this is just a personal style choice by the director, or to serve the story, but generally speaking its part of a trend moving towards more "realistic" cinema. similar to how actors have less "visible" makeup or less glamorized styling, theres been a shift towards more realistic audio, trying to better replicate the real world. in my opinion thats incredibly stupid and to hide it behind "creative choices" by a director is a sign that you dont know how to make a well made film.

im sorry this became a VERY long post, and i apologize if its just as hard to read as the article itself but i hope this made sense and helped u to understand the topic a bit more! if u want clarification on anything send me another msg and ill do my best!!

#ask #anonymous #sorry dude i tried to keep it short (i could talk at length about all of this and how annoying it is jsdjsj) but its still a lot #i tried to break it up into easier to read sections sorry to everyone who has to scroll past it 😭#fr though if u wanna know more lmk i love talking<3 #i hope this makes sense...

so basically i go fucking insane over character playlists scream a little bit and roast gay peoples music taste. dont take it too seriously i was blinded with rage when i wrote this.

i am so fucking tired of these gay people with bland music taste i am so. fucking tired. there is no way i can find a character playlilst without stumbling into a kinnie playlist wich is fine its cool its alright but the fucking problem comes when all of the god fucking damned playlists have the same fucking music. all of them have the same 4 lemon demon songs and all the 5 same overused and overhyped mother mother songs i dont have the time. to sit down. and curate a special playlist for every single drawing i make. i dont have that. and i dont want to have to sit down and click on 4 different character playlists and have them all be the same. i dont fucking understand how you people live like this. i dont. it doesnt make sense. im tired of the lemon demon guy im going to strangle him. neil ciciera more like neil dead as fuck. and when i finally find a playlist with slightly different music and sigh in relief because thank the GODS hayloft by mother mother wasnt added to this one i scroll down two times and i see it. i fucking see it. right there. what the fuck. does buttercup by jack stauber. have to do with dave strider. what the FUCK does it have to do with dave strider im going fucking INSANE. IM LOSING MY GODDAMNED MIND. AND WHY IS TWO TRUCKS IN THIS??? IS IT BECAUSE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH **SEX**????? IS IT???? ITS ABOUT A FUCKING *****CAR CRASH****. A CAR. CRASH. WHAT DOES THAT. HAVE TO DO. WITH HIM. NO SERIOUSLY SIT DOWN AND EXPLAIN IT TO ME BECAUSE I JUST CANT FUCKING SEE IT. look. i understand that you like lemon demon, and cavetown, and you get your music recomendations from alt tik tok audios, but jesus fucking christ man. jesus f christ. and some songs in this make sense!! theyre ok!!! theyre right!!! but if you ever ask me "hey want to listen to my dave playlist?" and then proceed to put this shit on a car ride id rather throw myself out of the fucking window than listen to the most basic uncharacteristic music playlist ever known to man. im gonna fucking snap i swear to god. and this isnt even hate towards the songs no jack stauber is really good and enjoy his music, in fact, i think there are a number of songs that fit characters pretty well. same with lemon demon, the difference is just that i cant fucking stand lemon demon anymore because you bitches know no chill. new normal? egbertcore. all the way through. but two time is not davecore. im sorry. saying shit like egbertcore and davecore is giving me imense brain damage right now but i dont know how elese to put it so fuck it im going to sacrifice my phsychic wellbeing for you. look how nice of me. i dont even know how to make this playlist better. it just sucks that much ass. and you may say "oooh but dirt this is a kinnie playlist your making fun of their own interpretation of the character!!!" yes. yes i fucking am. because they have shit taste in music. the same taste in music twelve year old me had and i thought the hetalia axis powers theme was the pinnacle of music. and im not saying "go listen to some REEEAL music" im saying "please for the love of god let go of the lemon demon im beging you" because i am on my limit i cant fucking take this anymore i will implode if i ever see somone say two time is davecore again i cant fucking do this

A Rose of Unconscious Beauty (Part 6)

All work and no play make Dante a dull devil, but when he finds out about his brother's flowery friend he sees an opportunity to cure his boredom. Well, that and his curiosity about what kind of woman catches Vergil's attention. So, he decides to spontaneously visit your garden to see what all the buzz is about.

Hope you enjoy these two finally meeting! And gardening puns...just all the gardening puns. 😆❤

Here’s the link to the list of all the flowers featured in this part. 🌹🥰🌹

Chapter 1: Meeting Dante

Life has been pretty good for Dante since he got back from his little foray into hell. He may still be in quite a bit of debt, but that never stops him from living life to the fullest. For the first time in a long time he does not feel so alone in the Devil May Cry shop. There is just one problem that plagues him now as he leans back in his chair, feet propped up on the edge of his desk as a huge overdrawn yawn escapes his mouth…

He is bored.

Very, very…BORED.

The occasional odd job usually keeps him entertained, but business has been slow recently. There is only so much games of pool and swimsuit magazines before Dante is positively itching to fight something…anything. Nero has taken advantage of this dry spell and is finally getting hitched to Kyrie. Even Vergil, who he annoys into fighting sometimes just for sheer fact that it relieves his boredom for a while, has taken to disappearing from time to time.

Oh yeaaaaah. The mysterious flowery friend.

Dante ponders the potential of that whole situation giving him something to do besides sitting alone in his shop. He did not think it strange when Vergil started to go out more…in fact, he is proud that his brother is finally embracing his humanity and making this world his home. But when his cranky brother came back to the shop with pretty little blue flowers wrapped around his beloved Yamato…well, now that just piqued his curiosity. He tries to goad Vergil into telling him where he got the flowers or where he has been disappearing off to lately, but that conversation usually ends with him being stabbed a lot. Dante got his answer one day when Nero asks if he knew this florist that his old man just recommended to him. It all just suddenly clicked. The constant visits, the soft cloud nine smiles, just the overall secrecy…

Vergil…has a crush.

Just the idea of his brother being head over heels for someone has Dante shaking his head in wonder. Vergil has already left the shop, probably visiting his florist friend if Dante had to guess. It happens to be the day that Nero and Kyrie are supposed to meet their savior of flowers. He wanted to tag along to see what all the hype is about, but Nero absolutely refused to let him. Usually, that is not enough to deter Dante, but then his nephew just had to sick Kyrie on him. And how could anyone say no to her? So, here he sits…extremely bored and very curious.

I have to know if it’s true…if my dumbass brother really is lovestruck…

A sudden idea pops into Dante’s head as he takes out his cellphone and begins to text:

Dante: Hey! Gonna see your old mans flower girl today, amiright?

Nero: NO. Forget it.

Nero: Im not spying 4 u

Dante: NO ONE said ANYTHING about spying!

Dante: Just a couple of pics!

Nero: NO U CREEP

Dante: OH C’MON!!!

Dante taps on his screen vigorously as he provokes his stubborn nephew to reply, but after a few minutes of continued silence he gives up. He rolls his eyes as he groans in mild irritation and drops his phone onto the desk. His nimble fingers stroke his scruffy chin in thought, wondering if there will ever be an end to this torturous boredom…then it hits him faster than the Devil May Cry van. Nico! Dante snaps his fingers and nods his head in approval at his own ingenious idea. He snatches his phone back up and begins to text again:

Dante: Heyyyyyyy

Nico: Wat

Dante: Wanna help a friend out?

Nico: Lemme guess

Nico: U want me to spy for ya, right?

Dante: A couple of pics is NOT spying

Nico: Yeah yeah whatever

There is a long pause and Dante almost thinks his last-ditch effort is a bust. Until…

Nico: Mayyyyybe I’ll do it

Nico: Wats in it for me tho?

Dante only has to think about her prize for second before replying.

Dante: I’ll let you check out my guns

Nico: Ive already seen my fair share of muscles

Dante: Im talking about Ebony and Ivory

Nico: U GOTTA FUCKIN DEAL

Dante clenches his fist in victory. Nico tells him to hold tight while she finds a good hiding spot and the perfect angle. So, he grabs the nearest swimsuit magazine to read while he waits for Nico’s sneaky photos.

He only has to read a couple of pages of articles and check out a few curvy ladies before his phone vibrates. “Well now…let’s see what we've got,” he announces aloud as his hand instantly picks up his phone and eagerly opens up the message. Here she is! is written below two pictures of a bubbly woman with a bright smile and lively eyes. In one photo she is sitting down at a garden table, and in the other she is standing by a bed of flowers. She is wearing white summer dress and has a white flower in her hair. Dante chuckles in glee because now he understands why his brother has fallen so hard: the local florist is a total babe!

Dante is about to get back to his magazine when another text from Nico comes through:

Nico: Yoooooooooo

Nico: U didnt tell me that Vergil was gonna be here!

Dante: Im not my brother’s keeper!

Nico: Im NOT about to get stabbed if he catches me

Nico: Im out

Dante: WAIT

Dante: I’ll sweeten the deal!

Dante: If you get a pic of them together

Nico: DANTE

Dante: Then I’ll let you check out my guns

Dante: FOR A WEEK

A very long pause follows and Dante thinks that Nico is still going chicken out despite his sudden add on to her prize when her response chimes in:

Nico: U better hold up your end of the deal, Dante

Dante: Nicooooo u know I always keep my word!

Nico: Cuz if u dont, I’ll run u over with the van

Dante: No u wont

Nico: VROOM VROOM BITCH

Dante’s amused chuckle echoes throughout the shop. “So, that’s where you’re running off to,” he comments to himself. “The secret garden.” As he waits for Nico’s next photo, he starts to wonder what kind of a woman catches the eye of his broody brother. I mean…sure, you’re a cutie, but Dante knows that Vergil is not so easily swayed by looks alone. Of course, he could be reading into this too much and you’re actually just a really adorable friend…which is why he has to see both of you together. If Vergil has that soft smile on his face and if you show any sign of reciprocating his brother’s feelings…

His phone vibrates and Dante immediately opens the message. How's this for ya? reads Nico’s text along with a bunch of laughing emojis and a video clip. He arches an eyebrow as he presses play. He sees Nero, Kyrie, Vergil, and you all walking together by a bunch of flowers. He cannot make out the soft conversation of the group, but he does hear a lighthearted giggle as you do a twirl. Dante squints his eyes when he notices your hand reach for something in your dress…then his eyes widen as you throw petals into the air. The distinct growl of his brother comes through the audio and Dante nearly chokes on his own laugh. Some of the little pink flowers you threw…are sticking to Vergil’s hair!

I’m totally saving this just for the look on his face!

Dante kicks his feet off of the desk and he leans forward in his chair, never taking his eyes off the screen as Nero and Kyrie step out of frame. He tilts his head when Vergil kneels and you start to pluck the flowers from his hair. Dante has to rub his eyes to make sure he is really seeing these events correctly. Things get really interesting when you move in closer. The awkward expression on his brother’s face is pure gold. But what really has him pressing his nose to the screen is when Vergil stands up and you both just stare at each other. It is like a scene cut straight from a romantic movie. Dante has never seen his brother look so…totally in love. And you are mirroring the exact same expression.

Jackpot!

The video starts to shake and he hears Nico quietly cursing up a storm. The screen is a blur for a moment before it just totally cuts off. Dante is still for a while as he takes in everything that just happened. He honestly did not expect Vergil to be bitten by the love bug. A genuine smile curls on his lips as he thinks that maybe you are exactly what his brother needs to finally let go of the past and start living. But he cannot be the helpful little brother that he is without at least meeting you first. The genuine smile turns mischievous as Dante texts Nico about happened after the video ended and where exactly is this secret garden in the city...

(A Week Later...Reader’s POV)

The late afternoon sun beats down as you wipe the sweat from your brow. You examine the rambling roses you are currently pruning, checking to see if you missed anything before standing up and stretching your legs. Sweet basil, it’s hot, you thought, taking off your gardening hat and fanning your face as you pocket your pruning shears. You think about Vergil and how he always seems to keep cool while wearing a long blue coat in the summer.

The power of Sparda must also include internal air conditioning. You giggle at your own quip as you put the gardening hat back on your head and decide to take a break. As you walk through the multitude of flowers you search for any sign of the Son of Sparda among the flora. He has not called to inform you that he is stopping by today, but that does not necessarily mean he will not show up unannounced…annoyingly startling you before buttering you up with an offering of beautiful blooms.

Vergil has been regularly visiting you in your garden now. Sometimes both of you read and drink tea under the fruit trees, other times you have to work and just let him read in peace while frolicking about your garden. Every now and then he insists on looming close behind you, claiming that he wants to observe how you arrange bouquets and care for the flowers. There are a few times that you somehow rope him into helping since he is so inclined to learn and you must admit…seeing a tall and imposing man handle tiny flowers carefully is so endearing, making you fall even harder for the handsome devil.

You step through the backdoor and walk into your kitchen, heading straight for the fridge and swiftly open the door. When the cold air hits your face you sigh and just stand there for a moment to cool off as you reach for a bottle of water. You close the fridge and head to your office to check the status of a shipment on your computer while you guzzle down half of the bottle. The flowers for Nero and Kyrie’s wedding are well in supply, but you ordered some extra ribbon, wires, needles, and other miscellaneous supplies. It is a little stressful that you only have so much time to pull this off, but that only pushes you to do your utmost best to give them the best flowers they have ever seen. All seems to be order, you mentally note, finishing off your water bottle as you tab out of the website.

Time to get back to work! You go back out to the garden, grab the garden hose, and turn on the outdoor faucet. You adjust the nozzle on the hose to spray into a mist and set off to water some flowers. “Alright, my darlings!” you say cheerfully as you step up to the first section of flowers. “Who’s thirsty?” You happily spray their petals with glistening droplets as you hum softly. One of the many reasons why you enjoy gardening so much is just how tranquil it can be, your mind slipping into a peaceful state as all your worries just drift away and you feel like a flower basking in the warm sunlight.

Although, you do find yourself ceaselessly daydreaming about a certain white-haired gentleman while gardening lately. You cannot get the feel of his slicked back locks out of your thoughts, yearning to do more than just pluck petals from his hair. You wonder if the bergamot scent is from a cologne he is wearing or the constant cups of his favorite tea. And the expression on his face after you picked the stray petals from his hair…cheeks slightly blushing as his gleaming silver eyes stare straight into your soul. The very memory of it has you shivering in delight as you turn around to water the next section of flowers.

“Holy hollyhock!”

The sudden appearance of a man in a long red jacket standing in your garden has you jumping back in surprise. Your foot steps on the garden hose, making you lose your balance and start to tip over. Thankfully, the stranger has quick reflexes and quickly leans forward to catch your fall. “Whoa! Easy there!” he exclaims as he sets you upright, doing his best to avoid the misty spray of the hose still clutched in your hand. That is when you notice his distinct white hair swaying in front of his blue eyes. And his face…if it was not for the slight fuzz of a beard or the care-free expression, he would be the spitting image of Vergil. Which can only mean…

“You must be Dante.”

“What gave it away?” he asks, dramatically holding his hands out to the side as he nods his head in confirmation.

“You wouldn’t be a Son of Sparda if you didn’t scare your local gardener to death!”

Dante tilts head at your answer and smirks as he examines you from head to toe. “I dig the overalls,” he comments as he gestures to your attire. You look down at your green gardening overalls, the phrase "I like big buds and I cannot lie" imprinted on the front surrounded by large colorful flower buds.

“Thanks!” you laugh, turning off the garden hose. “I’m Y/N! I don’t recall Vergil saying that he was going to finally introduce me to you.”

“So, he’s told you about me? Did he mention that I am the better-looking twin?” he jests as he takes a step back and strikes a charmingly rugged pose.

“Uh, he mentioned that you are a demon hunter, a foolish buffoon, and…whoa!” Your eyebrows shoot up as you closely examine his coat. “Your jacket does look really expensive!”

Dante rolls his eyes as he relaxes from his over-the-top stance. “He just can’t let that go, huh?” He shakes his head and lightly chuckles.

“So…what brings you to my garden?” you inquire kindly, not letting his surprise visit distract you from being hospitable. Dante did not mention his brother being present here with him, so you hope that Vergil does not mind you being friendly and helping his brother out if he needs it.

“The girls keep telling me I need something to brighten up the shop,” he explains as he scratches the back of his head. “So, I figured some flowers from my brother’s friendly neighbor florist might do the trick.”

You smile sweetly. “Okay! Do you have any kind of flowers in mind?”

“Well, my mother’s favorite flowers were-”

“Burgundy roses!”

Dante quirks an eyebrow. “Did you just read my mind?”

A giggle escapes your lips as you shake your head. “Vergil told me that his mother had a modest garden herself, and that she grew those roses a lot. Don’t worry,” you affirm as your hand sets down the garden hose. A big confident smile spreads across your face as you twirl in excitement, pausing to strike your own cute pose. “I got you covered!”

He nods his head in approval. “Right on.”

You make small talk with Dante as you lead him to the rose section of your garden, asking if by “the girls” he means the other two demon hunters that work with him. He confirms your guess and grumbles about how unfair it is that you know so much the crew while he knows next to nothing about you. That is quickly remedied though as he bombards you with the oddest series of questions…most of them involving strawberries and pizza. When you tell him that you used to work at the local pizzeria and bakery in your home town he enthusiastically asks if you made the pizzas. You laugh at his boyish glee and inform him that you sometimes helped with the pizzas, but you mostly baked the pastries and desserts.

“Here we are!” You point to a bush full of the dark reddish-purple roses as you step through the various buds and blooms. “Roses of unconscious beauty!” Dante studies the rose bush as you approach it, lean in, and inhale their lovely fragrance. You breathe out in delight and start looking for the best blooms for a bouquet. “Aren’t they lovely?” You look over your shoulder and see that Dante is barely paying attention. His blue green eyes gaze distantly at the rose bush, reminding you a little of Vergil’s silver blue eyes when he recedes into his head. You wait a moment before deciding to coax him out of pensive stupor.

“Flower for your thoughts?”

Dante blinks and shakes his head. “Sorry about that. I was just…remembering something.” He walks over and stands next you, a small grin appears on his face as he peers down at you. “These would look nice on my desk. I’ll take ‘em.”

“Alright!” You reach into your pocket, taking out the pruning shears still stored in there and begin snipping some select roses, carefully removing the thorns before sticking them in another pocket until you can properly tie them together.

Dante quietly watches you for a few moments before he crosses his arms and leisurely leans back. “So…you and my brother.”

You snip a third rose as you glance over at him. “Me and your brother…?” you repeat, hoping he will expand upon the conversation he started. Dante just continues to gaze at you inquisitively. Your brow furrows in puzzlement as you wonder what he is trying to imply…until it suddenly hits you.

No way. He can’t be…

“Are you…Dad-terogating me?”

“Am I what now?”

“You know…that thing fathers do when daughters bring home their boyfriends.” Your voice drops as you do your best impersonation a stern father figure. “What are your intentions little girl?”

“Oh man,” Dante snickers. “And what if I am?” he counters with a puckish smirk.

“Well, Mr. Sparda,” you begin with a cheeky grin, turning to him while you clutch a thornless burgundy rose close to your chest. “I only have the best intentions towards your brother, Vergil. They include smiles, laughter, and a healthy dose of poetry with dash of tea…Oh!” You dip your hand into the front pocket of your overalls. “And lots of flower showers!” Your grin turns cheerful as you toss pink hydrangea petals high into the air.

Dante stares at you closely for a moment, totally unfazed by the petals scattering around him before he chuckles softly. “Well now…how can I argue with that? My party pooper of a brother needs it.”

You giggle and go back to snipping more roses. A fourth one is freed and you begin to remove the thorns from the stem. “It’s sweet of you to look out for him, you know,” you point out with a genuine smile. “You’re a good brother, Dante.”

He smiles back and is about to respond when an awful hellish screech fills the air. Your head snaps over to the direction it is coming from, but you already know what those sounds mean. Dante casually looks over as well, but he does not look as concerned as you. His face reminds you more of the neighborhood kids when the ice cream truck drives by. “Looks like our flower pickin’ is gonna have to wait,” he surmises as he struts briskly towards the commotion.

You pocket the pruning shears and the rose in your hand as you hurriedly follow behind him. The screeching is now really loud and as you step into to a clearing you see the familiar forms of demons just beyond the gates of your garden. Even though you live in a city known for its constant hellish attacks, the sight of their malformed bodies never fails to freeze your blood. The closest one, resembling a large corrupted bat, flies over the gate and hovers near one of your apple trees. It shrieks as its throat starts to glow red. Anger floods through your body when you register what it intends to do to your lovely fruit trees.

“Oh, no you DON’T!” you shout as you run by the gardening tools still laying out, grabbing the garden hoe as you pass by and rush towards the bat-like creature. It swivels around just as you draw your makeshift weapon back and swing up at it with all your strength. The hoe connects and a pained squeal rings out as the demon is knocked back a little bit away from the apple tree. You let out a shuddering breath, quickly realizing that perhaps smacking a demon with a gardening tool was not the best idea.

Multiple gunshots startle you out of your internal dread as they streak up at the bat-like demon. It shakes violently before it drops to the ground and disintegrates. You turn around and see Dante holstering two guns behind his back before giving you a round of applause. “Not bad! Very inventive use of…” his hands pause as he inspects your tool curiously.

“It’s a hoe,” you bluntly inform him.

“Really?” Dante puts his hands on his hips as he circles around you, shielding you from the oncoming demons notice. “Well then…you really know how to handle a hoe!”

You snort and check your tool for any signs of it being broken or bent. “You know what they say…a dirty hoe is a happy hoe!” you joke, flashing him the disgusting bloody residue on the tip. Dante hunches over as a hearty laugh burst from his lips. You feel a sense of accomplishment at making such a clever gardening pun, but it is short lived as a series of terrible growls and roars remind you of the current danger. “Umm,” you mutter softly, “as much as I would like to give more demons a good hoeing…”

Dante reigns in his boisterous laughter and nods. “Yeah...get yourself to safety.” He runs and skillfully jumps over the gate. Before he goes to deal with the demons, he looks over his shoulder at you. “Even though I’m not a hoe I can still get rid of these nasty weeds,” he quips with a wink.

You laugh and shake your head at his own gardening pun before retreating back to your house, sighing in relief as your backdoor comes into view. When you are a few feet away from safety, a low rumbling growl reaches your ears, making you stop in your tracks. You still have your garden hoe, so you hold it up in defense as you scan your surroundings for any immediate threat. It is quiet for a moment…then a series obscure red streaks zoom around you. Your eyes try to track whatever is circling you, but you cannot see what is stalking you like prey.

Your body is quaking now as you turn around to glance behind you. A lizard-like demon with a vicious red blade protruding from one of its scaly arms is leaping through the air straight at you. Your instincts kick in and you raise your gardening tool up in defense, even though you feel certain that it will not enough to block that sharp blade. A series of tumultuous emotions sling around your mind, but one strongly overtakes you as the image of Vergil pops into your head…regret.

I didn’t even get to tell him that-

Before you are able to close your eyes and brace yourself for the deadly impact, a sudden blur of blue spheres pop up and knock back your scaly assailant. A familiar form clad in a blue coat suddenly appears next to the demon and proceeds to hit it with a series of slashes. When he finishes his ruthless onslaught, he turns his back on the demon and dramatically sheaths his sword. Just as the hilt of the sword slams into the case, the demon convulses in pain one last time before collapsing on the ground.

The regret you felt earlier fades away as your devilish rescuer turns towards you. The usual scowl on his face is now even more severe as he scrutinizes your appearance. He may be fuming with rage, but you do not mind, nor do you care. “Vergil!” you cry, trying to thank him for saving your life, but you feel so overwhelmed that no words come out. All you can do is smile gratefully as your eyes well up with tears, so happy that you get to see the man you feel so deeply for again after all.

February 11th, 2019

things are slightly better now that im actually recognizing this weird brain thing i got goin on

i just say im ‘confused’ all the time which makes more sense than trying to actually describe what my brain is doing lmao

gives me a name to this weird problem thats been causing me a lot of stress tho. and being able to say it and have rhys know what it means is helping me not feel as stupid. i still feel stupid sometimes but at least now i have a loose understanding of why

i realize that probably looking back on this it’ll look like i pretty much blew up the last couple days like this is a sudden issue but this has been recurring for a couple months now and gradually getting worse and affecting my mood stability and its only just recently that i realized this is actually a problem and not something i can just ignore and brush off and hope it goes away soon.

i also realized its really easy for me to just start crying when i dont understand something and it reminds me of that one tiktok audio thats like “this is a problem i really dont understand so imma make water come out of my eyes and whimper for an hour” and i mean, that makes me feel extra stupid for crying over something small and insignificant but sorta makes sense with how stressful this brain thing has been for me

i gotta remember to call the doc tomorrow and maybe get this figured out

@alyonian

relationship status:

at the moment i’m single! and while being in a relationship sounds brilliant, the last two relationships i was involved in? didn’t work out to say the least, lucky i’m still young

favourite colour:

it’s been emerald green for the longest time but orange seems to be dethroning it at a steady pace

lipstick or chapstick:

i haven’t used chapstick since i was six but i probably should use it again, water is my substitute rn fdghdgh - and i haven’t ever used lipstick in any capacity? so i’d have to go with the former

last song i listened to:

the space traveller’s lullaby | kamasi washington - i’m trying to get through his second album rn (i left off on the second disk yesterday) and while everything he makes is undeniably amazing, it’s? a three hour album? i don’t have the attention span for his spiritual jazz, as great as it is

last movie:

monsters inc is playing on the television right now, i’ll go with that! the animation aged kinda badly but it’s still such a fun movie! sidenote: james p. sullivan? a childhood crush, so this gives me memories

top 3 tv shows/podcasts/comics:

i rarely, if ever, venture into these forms of media but! if i had to answer, i’d say;

unbreakable kimmy schmidt / parks & recreation / luke cage

taz / mbmbam (i havent like. watched a full episode of either but they seem cool,)

tf idw / …………. yeah that’s it, i’ve never read anything else. probably should!

additional favs:

my friends, writing (in theory), listening to video essays, learning music theory + instruments and understanding audio production software

top 3 bands / artists:

HHH okay if i had to limit my choices to just three artists, uh. lorde, the mountain goats, and sophie. i couldnt even fit janelle in i hate th is

----------------------------------

@alyonian

color(s): light colors are always nice and pleasant, though anything peachy and sandy are the best! orange (specially pastel orange) is like. the best thing

last band t-shirt i bought: usually merchandising is very expensive and i dont have the money to accommodate that, but like. i do recall having a wiggles shirt when i was five. i wore it all the time, shjdjgsksd im sure that counts

last band i saw live: i almost went to splendor in the grass last year with family, which wasn't only cool since i’ve never been out of the state since i immigrated - the festival was in queensland, which is around a two hour flight from victoria - but the lineup was pretty fuckin lit too! the xx, haim, peking duk, tash sultana, future islands, vallis alps, a.b original,, i was p excited! unfortunately my uncle fell ill and so they had to give the tickets to extended family :( otherwise, i haven't been to a single concert in my life

last song i listened to: street fighter mas | kamasi washington - up to this song on the album and i really fuckin dig this! also the video is hypnotizing

last movie i watched: monsters inc is about to finish and up next is monsters university! which like…. honestly, this is an extremely unpopular opinion but, i like it just as much as the original? my opinion might be skewed because i’m a monster [hugger], but i like everything abt the movie! except for the finale of the scare games and the last five minutes of the movie, both were just. dreadful.

last three tv shows i watched: if aggretsuko counts that’s the last series i watched of my own volition, which is a miracle in itself considering that’s legit only the second anime i’ve watched to completion (the first being shirokuma cafe, which i probably need to re-watch). otherwise, the last two shows i had beared witness to were thirteen reasons why and queer eye bc my cousin put them on! that first show i could completely do without but queer eye is iconique

last 3 characters i identified with: grimlock (legit. all of them), urdnot grunt (mass effect) and vector the crocodile (sth), i’m not sure what this says about me other than Big

Yaaay!! Thank you Soraya's inbox, sorry i blamed you on eating the last ask😂😘. You did great. Nono, he wasnt a torero, he looked like a prince. (Which is not better bcs i dont like any of those figures but... whatever). Ooh, talking about suits, did you see the ranking hsfashionarchive did of the suits he wore this tour? Bcn was winning, pink suit was second and Mdd was third!! (1)

[I hope this works 😜🙏🏻, bc this was TOO long, jajajaa.]

Ohhh. Your mom is the best. So supportive! Petition to give her that award. She is clearly the winner. (1D clinex? capitalism in its pure state 😂. Did they really made those? Glad i didnt find it on time bcs i would have definitely brought them as a joke to my sister or something). You are already playing Niall’s songs to her? Did she like them? Does she have anything similar to “pikachu get away” she had for SOTT?. (2)

JAJAJAJJA. Netflix always does that to me too. Dont know why. I started watching Black mirror backwards bcs of that. Did you understand anything of chapter 7 os ST? (Did you finish the show??). Yep. The 8th season is the last one, and i dont know hoe to feel about it. Dissapointed by the shows? As in with the ending?? Or how? (3)

You sound like a devoted cat lady, yes. Ooow, i have little cousins too, though they are reaching the age of “too cool to be seen with you, old girl” Of course they make me laugh. Honey is a menace and i appreciate it. JAJAJAJAJAJAJA. He ate the chorizo?? Honeeey!! 😂😂😂 that made me laugh at loud int the train and now my neighbour is looking at me weirdly. I see, you’ll never get bored with him. (4)

When i was younger and + close minded, i didnt like tattos. Considere also that the ones I had saw in real life were the tribal ones, so there’s tgat. But then i grew up and started liking them (you can partially blame larry for that). Nobody in my family (cousins and so) has one, and thats kind of a encouragement, I’d love to piss them, but my dad has threaten me to disinherit me (we dont heven have that, lol) and i dont have any tatto on mind, so i wont do it… maybe in the future, yes. (5)

I MISS LOUIS TOO! I hope he is fine. Resting and so. Im sure that creating the album that will destroy us all takes a lot of effort. (Seriously, where is heeeee?). Heeey!! I wont get bored. Or mad! I have such a great time talking to you. If i dont talk more its bcs of the character limit and bcs im always worried about pressuring or imposing. Dont be dumb. If i dont answer its bcs im busy with finals and so. Nothing more. Promise. (6)

THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. i know i know. It makes sense and its a smart move, but… i cant stand raeggeton/latino, its not for me. Sad. I havent lost hope though. Maybe ill change my mind later Yeah, i have the same problem with my friends, they only listen to trap and raeggeton and i die everytime. We mostly agree to put something neutral like pop or the radio. (Disney songs never get old😂). (7)

Ay. I just saw that i wrote “heven” instead of “even” and now i want to delete myself. I was walking while writing the asks and i didnt proofread it. I feel so dumb. Anyway, sorry for sending so many asks (today i made a record xd) and, as always, good night!!————————————————————————-Hi!!!! Yes! I saw the ranking. But it isn’t exactly a ranking. It’s more to like chose wants your favorite suit. I did it and guess what? My first choice in the Madrid one, jajajaa. Second the kilt. And third the jumpsuit. Very accurate.

Oh, you’re telling me! My family bought me a bunch of 1D merch (unofficial all): the clinex, a hair brush, a bracelet, 2 books!, one perfume (this I love it, it smells so good), a make up box… I can’t even remember everything. Ah! A birthday card too!! Where they talk when you open it. I always use to wish happy birthday to people (the audio) 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I had to tell them to please stop wasting money on those things. I don’t even know where I have it. And if a can ask, I’d rather they give me the money so I can go to their concerts,jajajaja.EDIT: I can’t believe I forgot the poster!! I have it beside my head right now,jajaja, and I only realized it was there when I looked at the boys to ask for inspiration,😅😅)

Oh, my mom loves Niall’s album too. But I don’t think she “knows” any of the lyrics,jajaja. Though, she knows the hmmmm in This Town. But that’s all. She and my sister, both separately were like: “oh! who’s him??” When they heard Fire Away. And I was like: “ehhhhh, it’s Niall’s album, so guess who’s it?? What, you like it? See, Harry’s not the only one who can sing…” jajajajja. It’s because of comments like this, that they think I don’t like Harry. And I get so offended when they hint at it! Like, of course I like Harry. But I like all of them too!! God!! I love Niall’s album so much (I’m hearing it right now, bc I couldn’t remember what song was the one they liked it so much, and now I can’t stop 😅). Harry’s and Niall’s albums have been lining in my car since they were released. I had Harry’s playing in a loop till I got Niall’s one and I interchanged them. Then Harry’s came back a month or so before his concert. And now it’s time for Niall’s again. (You can’t imagine how hard it’s being writing this with honey laying on my arm!! Jajaja, I can’t barely move my fingers😅).

AND WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU REALIZED YOU WERE WATCHING BLACK MIRROS BACKWARDS??? I’ve watched canter 1 and 2 of ST afterwards, but I hadn’t gotten to watch the whole thing yet. I can’t stand to be looking at a screen for 50minutes without doing anything. And don’t get me wrong, lol, I can be on tumblr for hours, jajaja, but a have to move my hand, and I can go from a blog to another… y'know, jajajajaja. And when I watched chapter 7 of ST i was like, okay… now they have to investigate what happened… or a guessed they would be doing flashbacks… jajajajajaja. Then I realized my mistake and thought I was stupid, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣“I see you from a different point of view🎶🎶” ( sorry, that’s me singing,jajajaja, Seeing Blind. I LOVE that song)And shows have disappointed me in the sense that they turn out to have an awful ending (seriously, I know you do it for the audience, but end a show how it deserves it, don’t turn it into shit just for a handful of money); or bc they just end it bc they don’t have enough audience. It’s always a matter of audience,jajaja.if they have a lot, they want to explode it. And if they don’t have enough they finish it ASAP. 😒

Honey is a menace, yeh, I couldn’t love him more,jajajaja. He can’t see me petting Liam, he gets jealous and comes to me and headbutt my hand so I pet him too. And Liam is so patient with him. They’re totally like liam and Louis, jajja. Hey! did I tell you the story about when I got Liam? no!! Well, someone gave my dad 4 kitties (they were sooooo small). So, guess their names (it was post March 25, 2015…) yes!! They were named (by me) Louis, Niall, Harry and Liam, jajajajajja. But Harry died a couple of days later, because he was really really young. He couldn’t survive without his mom ☹️. And the other three, my dad took them to a place we have were he has a little garden (?) with vegetables and chickens and proper farm-y, jejeje. I wasn’t too (any) into cats back then, so… Then he brought home one of them, to have our home free of mice. AND IT WAS LIAM!! And I adopted him. I took care of him. We started loving each other. And he became useless with mice, jajaja. He’s totally domesticated now 😝. And that’s his story. The rest? Louis became a big alpha male at their new home. But s car ran him over last summer, and he died 😔. And Niall is a female, jajajajaa. And I hate her. Because she hasn’t been able to keep her kitties alive once!! (She’s pregame again, and we’re praying this time she knows who to be a mom🙏🏻) Ah!! And Honey had siblings the other day!! The guy who gave it to my dad is my brother’s friend and he show him a pic. There are two white cats!! I WANT THEM!!! But they don’t let me have anymore cats! Jajajajaja.

Hey, we might have in common the reason why we started liking tats, jajajjajaa. And, well, to piss off the family is as good a reason as any other,jajajaja. And why are dads like that?? When my sister and I got our lips pierced he went to pick up at the train station and as soon as he saw us he turned around and walked to the car without saying a word,jajajajja. I HAD TOLMY PARENTS WE WOULD BE DOING IT!! I asked my mom:hey mom, if a get a 10 in maths, can I get a piercing?? And she say okay. So I got a 10 (I might cheated or not on this, bc I already knew I had a 10, but wel…), and I got a piercing.my sister only got it, bc I was 16, she had to go with me as an adult, and giving she was already there, she got one too,jajajaja. (My granny almost kill us 😅)

Oh, louis has a BIG responsibility on his hands. He will be killing a lot of people when he puts out his album. He has to chose the proper songs to do it. It will be considered a massive destruction weapon, so he better be careful. But god, for real, when will Louis and Liam release their albums. At this pace, Harry and Niall will be releasing their second one before LiLo has finished their respective tours. And when they finish, Narry will have release their second one, and will be promoting them. So Lilo will start working in their seconds one. And… and… AND ONE DIRECTION WON’T COME BACK EVER BECAUSE THEY CAN FIX A DATE WHERE ALL OF THE BOYS HAVE NOTHING TO DO, AND WHAT WILL I DO??? 😭😭😭😭😭 (sorry, I panicked a bit there,oops).

Uggggg, I can’t stand raeggeton either. I can’t stand the music, argggg. Or the culture of it (the how it treats women, and glorifies sex). I can’t I can’t.and you can’t go out without hearing it. My friends and I went on road trip once. And it was my friend’s car. And she only listens to raeggeton. And after 10, 15, 40? minutes I had to ask her “will this song ever end???” And she told me it was already a different one. And I swear I almost jump out of the car,jajajajaja. We were crossing a bridge, and I wanted to jump out of the car!!!!! I couldn’t listen to that any more!!!!! Ejkbvwirbfeuirnfrvoieefvnv The she caved and we switched to movie’s soundtracks,jajajaja.

Ha! Don’t worry about sending a lot of ask, I learn something, you’ll see,jajajajaa.Also, I forgot to ask early. Is your sister a 1d fan too, then? She goes to concerts and knows the song… how lucky! you have someone to talk about all the gossip!! (And they know what you’re talking about…) or is she a “casual” fan, and doesn’t get into fandom drama? She just likes the music and doesn’t care about their lives?are you both into drama?? God, I don’t discuss drama very much online, but if had someone face to face to talk about it… I would be the happiest person in the world,jajajajaa (what an exaggeration 🙊).

I think this is all. I LOVE ORPUR CONVERSATIONS!! Jajajaja( I hope I did it correctly and all this is under read more, jajaja)Byeeeeee!!!! 😚😚😚😚

#anon #iuubefvkjnevjknefv #it's the first time I put read more #I learnt how to do it yesterday (I had too google it #lol)

New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/presentations-in-english-how-to-give-a-presentation-business-english-4/

Presentations in English - How to Give a Presentation - Business English

Hello, Im Gina. Welcome to Oxford on-line English! On this lesson, you could learn the way to make a presentation in English. Do you ought to make presentations in English to your job? Think you ought to provide an foremost presentation in English the following day. How would you consider about it? This lesson will help you study valuable phrases and procedures to introduce yourself and your subject, maintain your recommendations organised, take care of problems, and respond to questions from viewers individuals.Imagine youre standing in entrance of your colleagues. You have got to introduce your self and what your presentation is about. What are some phrases and phrases you might use? If some men and women within the audience dont know who you might be, you should introduce yourself and your function. In a more formal atmosphere, you would say whatever like this: just right morning every body. For those who dont know me, my names Simon, and that i work within the advertising division. Or: hi there every person. Before we start, let me introduce myself in brief: Im Reese and Im the head of HR. If you work in a extra casual manufacturer, you would say: hi guys; in case you dont understand me, Im Sylvia and i work in digital advertising. Or: whats up! I see some new faces, so ill introduce myself first: Im Julia and Im certainly one of our consumer carrier crew.Next, you have to introduce your matter. In case your presentation topic is easier, you might just say one sentence, like this: in these days, Im going to be speaking about our new HR insurance policies and how they have an effect on you. Or: id like to speak to you today about high-quality manage and why had been all accountable for fine control, whichever division you work in. In case your subject is extra elaborate, you might add more detail to interrupt your idea into phases.For illustration: ill start via outlining the policies, and then in poor health go on to highlight what they imply for you and your working habits. Sooner or later, ill briefly talk about why we think these new insurance policies are indispensable and helpful for us all. Heres an extra illustration: to begin with, ill provide an explanation for why first-rate manipulate has a broader meaning than you could anticipate. Unwell continue by way of giving examples of real fine manage, and why this issues for every person. To conclude, sick be asking you to think of ways which you could include pleasant control into your working habits.Right here, you noticed two examples. You should utilize these as templates to your presentation: unwell by after which sick sooner or later, in poor health Or: initially, in poor health unwell continue by To conclude, unwell k, now that you may practice! Wed such as you to do two things. First, practice introducing yourself informally, and explaining your matter in a simple way, with one sentence. Then, follow introducing your self formally, and explaining your topic in a extra specified way. Pause the video and practice speaking.The entire language you want is in this part. In a position? Lets move on! Im certain that on your lifestyles, youve heard excellent speakers and bad speakers. Just right speakers clutch your awareness and dont let go. You wish to have to hear what they must say. You consider and energised by way of taking note of them. Dangerous audio system are the opposite. Despite the fact that you attempt to make yourself listen, you in finding that your concentration drifts away.Your eyelids feel heavy, and you need to battle to remain wide awake. So, heres a question: whats the difference between just right speakers and dangerous speakers? And, how can you be certain you speak with ease when you are making your presentation in English? Heres one approach to feel about it: unhealthy audio system dont believe they ought to earn your concentration. Just right speakers have an understanding of that no one has to take heed to them, so they work hard to make you wish to have to pay concentration. What does this mean for you, and your presentation? Getting peoples concentration begins from the beginning. You ought to make it clear what men and women should anticipate from your presentation, and why they will have to care about what you need to say.Sounds like a great thought, but how do you do this? Listed below are three strategies you can use. One: establish a concern which many individuals for your audience have. Then, set up that you have a strategy to their problem. For example: have you ever ever felt unfairly treated at work, or felt that the work you do isnt appreciated? Weve been working to design new HR insurance policies so one can be certain all staff get fair recognition for his or her contribution to the enterprise. In this method, you are taking a monotonous-sounding subject like HR policies, and you are making it extra imperative to your audience.How? By connecting it with their experiences and feelings. The second manner? Mention an fascinating reality, or a stunning statistic to get peoples attention. For instance: were you aware that the natural place of business employee spends eight hours a day at work, but simplest does 4 hours of productive, priceless work? Im here to tell you about exceptional manipulate, and the way you can use this notion to make better use of your time. Finally, that you would be able to have interaction humans with the aid of telling a brief story and connecting it to your topic. Reviews are powerful, and they can add an emotional dimension to your subject if you happen to do it well. For example: I as soon as met a younger salesmanI wont point out his title.He spent several weeks building a relationship with a potential customer. He labored time beyond regulation, and he was working so tough that he was once below extreme stress, which started to impact his private existence. Ultimately, he didnt shut the dealthe purchasers signed with an extra company. In these days, Im going to talk about confidence as a sales tool, and how one can preclude the traps that this younger man fell into. Use such a three approaches on your introduction to attach along with your audience and show them why they must be taken with what you have to say.Heres a question for you: which system would you decide on to make use of, and why? Ok, now youve offered your subject and you’ve got everyones awareness. What subsequent? Theres a famous quote about making displays: inform the audience what youre going to assert; say it, and then inform them what youve said. Have you ever heard this earlier than? Are you aware who stated it? This comes from Dale Carnegie, a very effective American salesman and writer. He lived a long time ago, however his advice is still important at present. So, heres a query: what does the quote imply? It means that your presentation shouldnt simply give knowledge. You additionally have to exhibit humans how your knowledge is equipped. To try this, you need signposting language. Let me offer you an illustration to give an explanation for. Suppose you go to a website. The website is full of relatively useful, intriguing information. However, the knowledge is all on one page. Theres no organization, and you have got to scroll up and down, up and down this gigantic web page, trying to find what you want.Would you stay on that website? Regularly not. Youll discover a website which makes it less difficult so that you can in finding the understanding you need. Whats the point here? The point is that having fascinating or vital information isn’t ample. The way you constitution and organize your knowledge is equally predominant. In case you dont structure your presentation naturally, persons wont pay awareness, similar to you wont stay on a website if you cant to find the know-how you need. So, how will you do this? You employ signposting language.This means using phrases and phrases to show the audience where your points and finish, to show whats coming subsequent, and to remind them about things you talked about before. For instance: okay, that covers the brand new insurance policies. Next, id like to move on and speak about what these insurance policies imply for you. Or: Now that youve heard somewhat about what to not do, lets center of attention on optimistic recommendation to support you be extra mighty salespeople and close extra of your leads. While you say some thing like this, you arent giving men and women understanding concerning the topic of your presentation. Alternatively, youre showing men and women the place you’re, and where youre going next. Its a sort of signpost. You dont want signposts to journey from one location to one more, however they are able to make it less complicated. What else can you use signposting language for? You need to use signposting language to maneuver from one factor to the next. For example: next, identity prefer to talk about Lets move on and discuss Or: At this factor, id like to turn to you can use signposting language to add detail to an suggestion: Let me go into some more element about Lets compare in more depth.Or: identification like to tricky on you should utilize signposting language to show that youve completed your essential elements, and youve reached your conclusion: To wrap up, lets remind ourselves of why this must matter to everybody here. Lets assessment the important thing points from this session. So, youve heard what I must say. What conclusions can you cast off from this? When you’ve got an essential presentation in English, follow utilising signposting language. Use signposting language to maneuver between points, to show when youre giving a summary or going into extra detail, and to sign that youve reached your conclusion.Ok, however matters dont perpetually go so smoothly in actual life. We all know that! Lets seem at some recommendation and language for coping with issues during your presentation. Think youre making your presentation in English. What could go fallacious? What issues could you may have? There are numerous long-established issues: You might omit where you had been, or forget an foremost phrase. You could realize that you simply said some thing flawed, otherwise you didnt explain some thing clearly. You could disregard to mention something important. Or, any person would ask you a clumsy question, which you don’t have any notion the best way to answer. Of direction, there are different possibilities! Lets feel about these issues. What can you do, and more importantly, what can you say in these occasions? First of all, its a excellent concept to make a cue card with key aspects, as well as any essential vocabulary you need.If you lose your position, or you omit a phrase, it could aid. Nonetheless, you cant prepare for the whole thing. So, its valuable to gain knowledge of some phrases to maintain problems easily. If you happen to lose your location, and cant do not forget what to say subsequent, you can use a filler phrase like: the place used to be I? So, what used to be I announcing? Whats the phrase in English again? If you happen to still cant don’t forget, seem at your cue card with your major elements.Of direction, forgetting some thing isnt superb. However, for those who do, its higher to keep speakme, as a substitute than simply standing there in silence. What if you’re making a mistake, or you realise that you just didnt provide an explanation for something good? You would say: Let me rephrase that. Without a doubt, what I supposed to assert is To make clear, I desired to claim that on this means, that you can proper your self without admitting that you made a mistake! What for those who understand that you just forgot to say whatever important? Use a phrase like this: Let me simply add a further thing: id like so as to add something to a point we mentioned previous. Let me return to an prior point in short. Once more, this allows for you to proper your mistake in a positive means, so you appear like youre in control. Eventually, what do you do if someone asks you a tricky question, which you cant reply? You’ve got a couple of options.First, that you may prolong giving an answer. For illustration: Ive allotted time for questions on the end of this session, so well deal with your inspiration later. Or: Im now not able to answer that correct now, but sick get back to you later this week. This gives you time to believe of an reply and do some research if you happen to have got to! Next, you can deflect the query, by means of asking a question back, or probably by means of asking other viewers contributors what they suppose. For illustration: Thats an fascinating question.Before I answer, identification like to know: whats your take on this? Or: Youve raised an primary factor there. What does all people else believe about this? Eventually, if the query is beside the point, that you can dismiss the question and move on. For illustration: Thanks in your enter, but I dont see how thats related to what Im announcing. I dont mean to be blunt, but I dont consider thats principal to todays dialogue. Detect how you should utilize phrases like thanks on your enter, however or I dont imply to be blunt, but to make your language more oblique and well mannered.So, for dealing with intricate questions, simply bear in mind the three ds: prolong, deflect, brush aside! Ultimately, we wish to ask you anything. Do you could have any advice for giving excellent displays, in English or any language? Wed love to listen to your ideas! Please go away a remark and tell us what you suppose. Take into account to discuss with our website for more free English classes: Oxford online English dot com. Thanks for observing! See you next time! .
