#lucy plays sally face

[cherrytinz]

Hello, I really like your character and I’m curious do you have any story on your oc if so, I would love to hear it (:

Hello darling! First of all, thank you so much! It really makes me happy that people like my ocs! It really means a lot. Not to mention that I was generally surprised to see that so many liked Lucy's design! thanks yall! I was so happy to read those comments 🖤

And well, yeah! I want to write a fanfic with her so I have a few things planned. Lucy is an old oc frommmm 2019, but I decided to bring her back to life with a redising and all 🦇

Soooooo Lucy Fernby is a British girl who was born in 1975. Her parents are quite famous musical artists (especially her father) so she always had an approach to music. Actually, Lucy has absolute pitch and ease with some instruments, however she prefers to play the bass and write songs to cope with certain emotions that she doesn't know how to share. If I had to assign her a voice, I would say that she speaks like Gwen of Total Drama but with a British accent (although certainly Serena's voice from downtown is still an option lmao) , and when she sings it would sound like Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.

Even so, her parents (Emily, a goth singer and Luke, a rock band guitarist) got divorced when she was still a child. Her father returns to the USA but still tries to be as present in her life as possible. Despite this, due to a situation that Lucy does not want to talk about, they distance themselves when she is 14. I CLARIFY because I know it is very ambiguous, no, her father did not hurt her or anything, only Lucy keeps everything to herself.

Lucy had a lot of problems that affected her way of relating to others, both with people of her age and with her own parents. Due to a series of bad decisions she misses the school year and that's when her mother decides that it is best to send her to live with her father so that she can get away from "the toxic environment she is in."

(conclusion that Emily draws after brief questions that Lucy did not develop when she answering)

This is how Lucy ends up going to live with her father at the Addison Apartments because well, a rock star who lives in a town that no one knows = peace of mind and time which he can dedicate to his daughter and himself!

oh, another fun fact of her! A year before moving to the Addison Apartments, she had a platonic friend/crush named Meri with whom she lost connection. I mention this because Lucy has a tendency to isolate herself when something happens and simply end a relationship instead of fighting for it, which she did at the time with Sally and the rest of the gang, but she has learned to be more open about how she feels.

thanks for asking! just in case, if anyone is interested feel free to ask me anything abt my ocs or even if you want to know my headcanons of Sally Face (in this case bc im in others fandoms like BG3 and Gorillaz) I'm more than happy to share them 💖💖💖

What The Creepypastas Would Drink.

Jason the toymaker: Tea. As he is a proper British gentleman/secret/not so secret asshole.

Nathan the nobody: Monster energy. He's looks like a edgy edge lord so he shall feast and consume what is to be edgy edge lord worthy.

Candy pop: Your soul mixed with some tears. Our most favored and only favored soul sucker. (Besides the pop family and umbra stuff.)

Papa Grande: Lake water. I swear when I read about him and it said something about him hunting for food and such since he lives out in the woods at the abandoned building I picture him drinking out of a lake like animals in Africa gathering around a water hole. On hand and knees. face in water.

Puppeteer: agony, depression and some good teenage depression/angst..mixed with a tear or two for some more salty flavor.

Vine the dollmaker: water? Whatever he can find without his face being seen? I think he likes to adventure around but in incognito mode.

Jeff the killer: Blood. Just blood. He's blood thirsty. Literally.

Sally: tea when having tea parties and such and some good apple juice or something a kid would have.

Clockwork: protein shakes and such.

Nina the killer: whatever jeff drank out of previously and left out unwatched, unguarded, and unfinished. I know she's cannonly not a simp and just looks up to him which is why I think she'd want whatever Jeff does or has had becuase she just looks up to him so much.

Lifeless lucy: the fear, the agony, and the satisfaction of killing child abusers, molesters, or whom ever resembles her killer. Duh dun dun dun dun! ghost power! (I just start playing the ninja turtles theme song)

Once again I ask of you to please ask me if you want anything specific as I'm running out of good ideas for posts (already somehow) but anyways I hope this is somewhat decent!

Dating & Just some Homicidal Liu Headcannons

A/n: for the Liu simps!

Pairings: Liu X S/O

Warnings: D.I.D, Cursing,Stitches, Blood, Murder, Slight mention of death

- After "the incident" Liu developed Sully as his split personality so canonically, Sully would be about 7 years old even though he's mentaly older.

- Liu and Sully fight about what food to eat all the time. Sully probably craves unhealthy food while Liu also would like to eat unhealthy, Liu chooses to fight the urges and eat healthy.

- Similar to using a ouija board i'm referencing to when using a ouija board the spirit takes about 50% control over your body while moving the planchette sometimes Sully cannot take full control over Liu's body so he only takes 50% instead of full control. When this happens, only one of Liu's eyes turn red making him have heterochromia temporarily.

- Even though Liu/Sully's normally never seen with anything covering his face. Sometimes when Liu/Sully gets insecure he puts on a mask to cover his stitches in public to avoid getting stares and causing a scene.

- Liu completely forgives Jeff for trying to agressively kill him while Sully absolutely hates Jeff, so Liu has been trying to convince Sully for about 5 and a half months to forgive him.

- Sully probably wakes up Liu on Christmas, takes control over his body and runs faster than Sonic.EXE to the Christmas tree and steals ALL THE PRESENTS. - He thinks you deserve so much more then him

- Likes to walk around in the woods

- You two ended up dancing in the rain one time while some soft music played in the background. It really was like an romantic scene.

- you two got sick after but it was so ducking worth it.

- whenever he would switch he would bawl his eyes out cause he didn’t like you being around sully.

- sully is seven years old for god sakes but is an menace so you try your best to relax the other alter in Liu is body.

- Sully loves talking to you about what Liu says about you all the time.

- You and Sully at night time like to gossip and shit talk people but liu doesn’t know cause he is asleep.

- Give liu all the love he deserves after everything he's been through

- make sure your close to Jeff since he finds bonds with family are important and knows that he can trust you

- if you ever want to make his day. Just be there in the room he will immediately park up and will tell you his worries

- if you wanna make him even happier cut off Jeff’s head and bring it to Liu that man would panic but at the same time he happy

- if you do cut off Jeff’s head… Sulky would complain about how he wasn’t the one who did it

- he made you an playlist for your anniversary and you cried cause he put down all your favourite songs

- he learned how to make flower crowns with Sally and Lifeless Lucy. He gave you said flower crown and you bawled your eyes out.

-More earth and nature tones and aesthetics. It reminds him of his childhood, where he grew up by a creek.

- Being from New Orleans he loves music mainly Jazz and Pop

- He has violent impulses even when he was a kid and before the… incident

- but he would never take it out on you. If he ever did he would lock himself up and yell at himself.

- When sully gets violent you use the spray bottle

- Liu hates his scars with an burning passion.

- kiss his face, kiss the scars to make him feel whole atleast he will hold you tight.

- He knows how to play the alto-Sax Idk why HE JUST DOES!

- When his scarf ripped he panicked so much.

- you sewed it back up/or knitted it back together he was so happy he wouldn’t stop peppering your face with kisses

- He HATES absolutely HATES seeing people give him looks for his scars.

- Even though Liu/Sully's normally never seen with anything covering his face. Sometimes when Liu/Sully gets insecure he puts on a mask to cover his stitches in public to avoid getting stares and causing a scene.

- He’s the type of guy who would take your heels (if your an woman or identify as one) and give you his own shoes and will walk barefoot even if it’s painful as shit he would do it for you.

- Liu can cook like an fancy ass rich chef. He’s one of the main people who cook for dinner, and lunch

- Liu isn't very open his emotions when you first started to date. you need to take things slow and let him open up when he's ready for it.

- Asking about his brother isn't something you should do at this point, its a very touchy subject.

- he likes nature walks but he also likes late night drives

- it’s an thing you both would do if you had free time together.

- He loves holding you close to him.

- he doesn’t want to lose you and neither does sully… even if he won’t admit it Sully loves the gossip night time sessions.

🩸🎨Bloody Painter🎨🩸 - a friend of hers! She likes looking at his artwork and drawing with him.

🧵💔The Puppeteer💔🧵 - One of her best friends and father/brother figure. Puppeteer may seem really cruel, manipulative, narcissistic, greedy, and stubborn, but he still has a heart for the people he truly cares about. Plus Sally reminds him of his younger siblings when he was alive.

🗝️🚪Jason the Toymaker🚪🗝️ - One of her best friends! Jason will make dresses for Sally, and sometimes even toys! He once got hit over the head with a metal pipe by Sally because he didn’t want to play dress up with her! ^w^

🎁🍭Laughing Jack🍭🎁 - Her #1 best freaking friend forever!!! After Sally killed her uncle, she heard a music box, that’s where she met Laughing Jack. He had ended up bringing Sally to the mansion, because he obviously knew that Sally wasn’t a normal kid. After all, she just murdered her r*pist in cold blood whilst using telekinesis. They’ve been best friends ever since. Also LJ likes giving Sally non-poisonous candy when she’s not allowed to have any. (Slenderman sucks!)

🪞🔮Candy Pop🔮🪞 - Another one of her clown best friends! He usually sticks around with the kid pastas (Sally, Lifeless Lucy, Sam, Oliver, Lily, etc) because they lure in free prey (Adults he can steal the souls of). But he is friends with Sally in particular, just because she’s pretty cool. Candy Pop will also give her non-deadly balloons for her OvO

👑��Zalgo👿👑 - She’s never met Zalgo, and doesn’t understand why Slenderman and Zalgo hate each other so much. She finds it stupid that all of her friends and family members that work under Slenderman have to risk their own lives just because Mr. Sh*tty No face slendy dislikes someone! However, she does like Lazari and her other family members (including Puppeteer, he works for Zalgo in my au)

🎀❤️‍🩹Lazari❤️‍🩹🎀 - One of her friends/Sister figure. they like playing dress up together (and causing mischief together)! Sally doesn’t hate or care about the fact Lazari is a Zalgoid, she still sees her as her friend. They are basically sisters to each other.

🪽🗡️Judge Angels🗡️🪽 - She doesn’t really talk to Dina much, But she finds her pretty. Especially her eyes! Dina on the other hand knows some things about Sally, and will protect her when she can.

🍷🎭Kagekao🎭🍷 - Sally doesn’t know him. Kagekao finds her interesting though, but Sally is quite cautious around him, most likely because she knows he’s friends with Offenderman

🧸🚪Slendrina🚪🧸 - Sally really likes her, and they talk a lot whenever they see each other. It’s like her twin fr! (Sam is outta the pic.) They both have teddy bears, and that’s what brung them together. Now even if Sally doesn’t like Slender, she still likes Slendrina no matter what she is, cause she has always needed that love! (in my au, Slendrina is Slenderman’s daughter)

BONUS!!!:

Cartoon Cat - One of her best friends, C.C knows Sally isn’t a normal kid, so he just doesn’t attack her.

who should I do next?

[justforbooks]

The writer Martin Amis, who has died aged 73, delighted, provoked, inspired and outraged readers of his fiction, reportage and memoirs across a literary career that set off like a rocket and went on to dazzle, streak and burn for almost 50 years. His scintillating verbal artistry, satirical audacity and sheer imaginative verve at every level from word-choice to plot-shape announced a blazing, once-in-a-generation talent.

He seldom disagreed with Christopher Hitchens, the journalist and essayist who was his soulmate and intellectual lodestar. But when Hitchens published a tepid review of a book by the American novelist Saul Bellow – Amis’s literary idol and mentor, who ranked equally high in his affections – Amis rebuked his friend for ignoring “all the pleasure he gave you”. Amis stirred envy and emulation, ignited controversy, courted scandal. Above all, though, he gave pleasure.

He paid tribute to his father, the novelist Kingsley Amis, by praising his “super-humour: the great engine of his comedy”. However grave its themes – later years saw him preoccupied with losses, partings, and deaths – “super-humour” likewise fuelled the zest of Amis junior’s prose. For him, “seriousness – and morality, and indeed sanity – cannot exist without humour”. His gift of laughter followed him even into Auschwitz (in his 2014 novel The Zone of Interest). Critics could find its presence an embarrassment. Admirers never did.

He published 15 novels, from The Rachel Papers in 1973 to the hybrid Inside Story – which enfolds fiction into memoirs and essays – in 2020. His essays and journalism stretch from an account of arcade video games, through literary studies and critiques of pop culture, to a meditation on Stalin’s crimes: Koba the Dread (2002).

Until a quieter last decade, spent largely in New York, he combined fertility and versatility with a reluctant role as a writer-celebrity who epitomised literary fame in an age of glitz, hype and frenzied prurience. Keystone novels of the 1980s and 90s such as Money, London Fields and The Information channel the raucous urges of their time, and kick against them in dismay.

To a degree, he played the celebrity game: he dissected showbiz phenomena in witty articles, often for the Observer. But he found, in his case, that others played with laxer rules or none at all. For decades, the life, loves and family of a gossip-fed tabloid entity known as “Martin Amis” ran in parallel with the career of the hard-working author of that name. His fiction abounds in games of doubles, pairs and twins. In his own life, too, Amis struggled to negotiate the gap between the mask forged by fame and the true face of a serious writer.

Being the son of Kingsley might have sent him early warnings of the bill that a stellar career in literature can present. Martin was born in Oxford a year after his brother, Philip. His mother was Hilly (Hilary, nee Bardwell), whom Kingsley had met while she was studying at the Ruskin School of Art. Their third child, Sally, followed in 1954.

Hilly recalled the young Martin, bright and amiable, as “a child born under a lucky star”. The spectacular success of Kingsley’s debut, Lucky Jim (1954), brought prosperity but torpedoed family life. Kingsley’s many affairs, and his mother’s distress, became the background hum of Martin’s youth.

As his renown grew, Kingsley moved with his family to Princeton, New Jersey, for a year. Martin loved America: its speech rhythms rooted in his prose. In England, his father’s best friend – the melancholic poet Philip Larkin – supplied not only paltry gifts of a few pence to Martin, but a dire example of literary greatness allied to emotional squalor. The siblings spent happier times with their cousins, David and Lucy Partington. Lucy’s vanishing in 1973, and the final confirmation more than 20 years later of her murder by the serial killer Fred West, spread an ineradicable shadow over Amis’s later writing.

In 1961, Kingsley took up a teaching fellowship at Peterhouse, Cambridge. A rambling house on the city’s edge served as the rules-free, bohemian backdrop to the shipwreck of the Amis marriage. It ended in 1963 when Hilly moved to Mallorca while Kingsley began living with his lover, the novelist Elizabeth Jane Howard. Disharmony at home disrupted Martin’s education: he bounced idly from school to school. Relief came in the Caribbean when (for £50 per week) he acted in the film of Richard Hughes’s novel A High Wind in Jamaica.

As teenagers, Martin and Phil lived mostly in Maida Vale, west London, with Jane and Kingsley. They scoured Kings Road, Chelsea, for girls, and kept drugs in the fridge. Kingsley, lord of misrule, once bought his sons a gross of condoms. Jane, the much-admired “wicked stepmother”, finally presented the “semi-literate truant and waster” Martin with a reading list that ran from Jane Austen to Muriel Spark. She sent him to a Brighton crammer, where he thrived. Martin duly studied English at Exeter College, Oxford, with an “exhibition”: a scholarship, though of a minor kind.

After graduation, in 1971, he joined the Times Literary Supplement as an assistant, then as fiction editor. Starting with The Rachel Papers, his own apprentice fiction – smart, knowing, super-cool – flowed with little fuss. For Amis fils, “nothing is more ordinary to you than what your dad does all day”. In 1974, he moved from the TLS to the New Statesman: as deputy to the literary editor Claire Tomalin, then (until 1979), as books editor himself.

The Rachel Papers won a Somerset Maugham award. And the model for the “Rachel” fictionalised in his debut – his first love – introduced him to the Jewish themes that would draw him with increasing force. For a while, though, his fiction declined to grow up. Dead Babies (1975) performs stylistic somersaults around a country-house parody, although the warring foster-brothers of Success (1978) inaugurate the trademark Amis play of pairs.

Two sides of the Amis myth, or mask, solidified. With male chums – always Hitchens, often the poets James Fenton, Ian Hamilton and Clive James, or the novelists Julian Barnes and Ian McEwan – he adorned a sort of kebab-and-chips literary salon. They derided the old guard and lauded brave new voices. Yet Kingsley, old guard incarnate, remained an always honoured guest. Amis’s deep affection for his father, despite political and artistic clashes (Kingsley scorned his boy’s fancy technique, and reputedly chucked Money across the room), surprised and impressed their friends.

Like his father, Amis also picked up a reputation as an eager if inconstant lover. By his own account, he was a slow starter until the future magazine editor Tina Brown “rode into town and rescued me from Larkinland”. Soon, columnists began to chronicle – or fantasise – the romantic life of this literary wunderkind. Tomalin herself, Brown, Emma Soames, Julie Kavanagh: his liaisons with high-achieving women were mediated by salacious reporting, attracted awestruck gazes but also evil eyes. (His longest early relationship, with the photographer Angela Gorgas, left fewer media traces.)

Too short, too clever, too entitled, too rich: Amis became the author-ogre many loved to hate. Even his father remonstrated to Larkin when, in 1978, the son earned £38,000: “Little shit. 29, he is. Little shit.” Yet companions from that time recall no sneery seducer but a sweet, funny, sympathetic friend.

Come the early 80s, Amis as writer moved into higher gears. Other People (1981) heralded a mature interest in other minds and how to represent them. In 1984, the pyrotechnic satire and narrative trickery of the sensational Money both skewered an era of greed and glitz and, typically, embodied its appeal in the razzle-dazzle of its prose. The golden boy shone with a deeper lustre. His presence on Granta magazine’s 1983 roll-call of Best of Young British Novelists sealed his position on the crest of a new, media-savvy and PR-friendly, literary wave.

Also in 1984, the writer who had fretted that “childlessness will condemn you to childishness” married the American-born academic Antonia Phillips. Their son Louis arrived the same year, followed in 1986 by Jacob. With parenthood came an investment in the planet’s fate expressed in the bomb-shadowed stories of Einstein’s Monsters (1987), and the apocalyptic weather that roils around the large-scale comic dystopia of London Fields (1989). That book’s doomed antiheroine, Nicola Six, focused criticism of Amis as a serial fabricator of stereotypically damaged femmes fatales. The complaint, and the grounds for it, would persist.

At the same time, the comic craft that forged that novel’s darts-obsessed low-life Keith Talent could still make readers fall off their chairs with laughter. Visitors to the Amis work-flat in Westbourne Park loved to report on the blockish impedimenta of dartboard and pinball machine. Fewer clocked the neat editions of Bellow and Nabokov, twin touchstones of his art, on the shelves. The Holocaust motif and reverse narration of Time’s Arrow (1991) – shortlisted for the Booker prize – spoke of lofty formal ambitions, not laddish fun.

In journalism and fiction, Amis magnetised mimics and fan-boys (fewer girls) by the score. The essays gathered first in The War Against Cliché (2001) and, later, in 2017, The Rub of Time, recruited a tribe of wannabes – which rather missed their point. Hubris was ascribed to him, not espoused by him. Envious back-biters feasted on his every mishap or misstep.

The 90s saw his dental problems become a bizarre media fixation: he retaliated, gloriously, with the all-you-can-eat dentist-surgery horrors of his 2000 memoir Experience. Less reparable, his marriage broke up. He married Isabel Fonseca, an American-Uruguayan journalist and author, in 1996. Their daughters, Fernanda and Clio, were born in 1997 and 1999.

The media onslaught intensified with Amis’s most elaborate novel of doubles and rivals: the death-haunted, long-winded literary satire of The Information (1994). Its large advance drew sniper fire. So did Amis’s split from his agent Pat Kavanagh – and from her husband, Barnes – in favour of Andrew Wylie. Kingsley’s decline, after his parting from Jane, darkened his son’s horizons and turned Amis’s mind to “the information” (about mortality) that struck as a “negative eureka moment” in his 40s. What Amis called, after Kingsley’s death in 1995, the “passage to the main event” now suffused his work. He found death “always in my thoughts, like an unwanted song”.

In 2000, his sister, Sally, died, aged 46, after periods of depression and alcoholism. Griefs accumulated: the 1994 revelation of Lucy’s fate throws a pall over the superb Experience that wit can hardly lift. Still, in the mid-90s, Amis met his eldest child. Delilah was born in 1976 while her mother, Lamorna – who later killed herself – was married to the journalist-historian Patrick Seale. Larkin’s bleak emotional wilderness had terrified Amis. If anything, he overcompensated: so much life, so much love, but so much loss as well.

Amis, Isabel and their daughters set up home in London, at the other end of the Primrose Hill road where Kingsley had finally gone back to live with Hilly and her third husband. Post-millennium, his writing took a more political turn. Hitchens had always figured for Amis as the ideal type of the public intellectual. Now, the virtuoso storyteller – who identified as a centre-left gradualist – craved a slice of that gravitas himself. In Koba the Dread, Amis’s account of Stalin’s atrocities paid homage too to Kingsley and the ardent anti-communism of his circle: notably, the historian Robert Conquest.

It was 9/11 and its aftermath that propelled Amis into front-line polemics. Islamist terrorism revived a catastrophist strain in his work: the concept of entropy haunts earlier books. In the topical essays collected as The Second Plane in 2008, it threatened to elevate political foes into metaphysical demons. Rash interview statements prompted charges of Islamophobia. More soberly, Inside Story concludes that “the real danger of terrorism lies not in what it inflicts but what it provokes”. Still, the op-ed pundit Amis could drop his verbal, even moral, compass.

By the later 2000s, Amis began to look fragile, with the stiff gait of a veteran tennis player (he enjoyed the game, and wrote well on it). His mid-2000s fiction – Yellow Dog, House of Meetings – revisited old haunts: celebrity excess and tabloid depravity in the former; the lingering horror of Soviet atrocity in the latter. Calm spells with his family in seaside Uruguay raised spirits, as for a while did stints as a creative-writing professor at Manchester University.

With The Pregnant Widow (2010), his ambitions climbed again. Within its uproarious, comic-pastoral mode, the novel counts the costs of the sexual revolution that, for Amis, had devoured his vulnerable sister. To Amis, no longer a gleeful beneficiary of post-60s erotic liberation but its appalled historian, “the boys could just go on being boys. It was the girls who had to choose.”

In 2010, the Amis family began the process of moving from London to New York: Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. In Amis’s telling, the need to live near his elderly mother-in-law hastened the move. British media read it as a snub to his celebrity-mad homeland and its jeering fourth estate. Lionel Asbo (2012), with its scattergun satire on lottery-winning oiks in a plebeian nightmare, rather confirmed that view.

Amis enjoyed the Brooklyn weather, the freedom from spiteful gossip, his welcome on New York’s literary scene. But he missed British backchat: his west London patch, from the pub quiz-machines of Portobello Road to the sports clubs of Paddington, had served well as scruffy muse.

Thanks to Fonseca’s heritage, Amis now had Jewish daughters. Jewish histories, fears and hopes felt nearer than ever. Yet his concentration-camp novel The Zone of Interest affirmed that, for Amis, nothing stood beyond a joke. “How can you presume to laugh at Hitlerism?” asked a German critic. For Amis, how could he not? Any depiction of Nazi evil that overlooked its farcical absurdity lent it weight and credit it did not deserve.

His two wisest jokers had exited: Bellow, with dementia, in 2005; Hitchens, from cancer, in 2011. The loss of a virtual father and a virtual brother whetted fears of death but also (with Hitchens) sharpened the appetite for life: “the delight of sentience”. Kingsley had called a late novel The Anti-Death League, but Martin would never have signed up. “Without death there is no art,” he wrote. Bellow’s and Hitchens’s passing fed tremendous elegiac passages amid the multiform miscellany of Inside Story, where tricky “autofiction” sits beside heartfelt, no-frills memoir.

With its musings on “how busy death always is, and what great plans it has for us”, Inside Story felt like a valediction. If so, it was one in which Amis’s acrobatic wit defied both gravity and solemnity. He wrote with discipline and dedication, and wrestled with all the anguish of his age. Yet that pleasure-giving principle makes his long shelf of books feel playfully, buoyantly light.

He is survived by Isabel, and by his children, Delilah, Louis, Jacob, Fernanda and Clio.

Danny Miller Interview

via Duncan’s Newletter

Danny Miller reveals all on his Emmerdale return

Are you around for the 50th anniversary filming?

Yes, I am. It’s a short stint, 6 and a half weeks, I think. I never imagined after I’m A Celebrity that I’d come back for a long period of time so soon, so when they called and asked if I’d like to be a part of the 50th, I was instantly interested.

I haven’t been away for a long time, but I knew the storylines which attracted me to come back and celebrate what was such a huge part of my life.

Emmerdale has been huge for me, it was an honour that I got asked to return and say happy birthday. It’s been really nice getting back and seeing everyone, a lot of new and old faces too.

Did you keep in touch with any cast and crew?

Yes! Loads. Dominic, Lucy, a lot of people I keep in regular contact with. It felt like I hadn’t really been away when I returned. I was nervous, I didn’t want people to think I was just slotting back in or it was easy. It’s great.

When you play Aaron again, is it easy? Did it take a while to get into the character?

I was given some of Aaron’s jackets when I left, they got a couple of new things in as well. They put me in trainers first and it just didn’t feel right!

I think Aaron wears more of a Doc Martin, Timberland boot – trainers didn’t feel right! It’s different around different characters. I have a different relationship with Lucy than Izzy, it’s not difficult to find those once you’re back.

Do you want Aaron and Liv to reunite?

Absolutely. When I left, it was in the middle of Meena’s storyline, it was very nice he was a part of the storyline but left off the back of it. It’s been difficult to slip back into it, but I’ve enjoyed it. In terms of Liv, I think it was unfortunate he left at that time, but I do think it’s made for a better return.

It sounds like you’re grateful Aaron wasn’t one of Meena’s victims!

I think Aaron’s a lot harder than Meena! It’s a risk, definitely. You can’t just ask to not be killed off; I was very grateful the team allowed me to leave in the way Aaron did.

Aaron did do a runner...

Yes, he did. I think that relationship, it was forgotten how toxic it had become. Liv was throwing bottles of vodka, Aaron was worrying all of the time, there was a lot of worry with her, and I think in the past, Aaron always worried about everybody else but then when he decides he’s going to start worrying about himself, it’s too late, which has led him down some dark paths.

This time, he needed to be selfish and look out for himself, he had always looked after Liv, I think at that point it was really needed to give Aaron a break.

When Aaron returns, within minutes he’s arrested, his he worried he might actually spend time in a cell rather than making up with his sister?

Yes, it absolutely happens at the wrong time. He walks in, sees a stranger in his house, he could be anybody but given the state of the panic, Aaron just deals with it by punching as always. Just as that happens, Harriet walks in so she has no choice but to arrest him. There’s not really much choice for him, it’s just bad timing.

Did Harriet overreact?

Well, she’s a police officer. She walked into arrest Terry but ends up arresting them both.

Chas turns up, is she upset Aaron doesn’t tell her that he’s back?

She’s upset until he gets the chance to explain things. Aaron was back to see Faith, knowing she’s unwell, so he would’ve come back to surprise Chas and the family, but then the timing of it, he goes back to Mill Cottage and doesn’t get the chance to surprise Chas – that comes in the form of her seeing him arrested.

Aaron has some scenes with Faith...

They are really lovely. Sally is a fantastic actress, to be able to play out some really nice scenes where Faith gives Aaron advice but also, he gives her some advice, it’s really nice but really hard to not get emotional – we were both blubbering by the end!

We discussed some of our personal experiences beforehand and I learnt so much about Sally and how incredible she is. To get the opportunity to share those scenes with her was amazing and I think they’ll be really effective as well, we touch on so many issues – mental health wise, what Faith is going through compared to what Aaron went through with Jackson – he gets a mention which is nice.

Aaron realises how ill Faith is at that point?

Yes I think the way she’s talking is what gets to him and obviously when he first sees her she’s very frail and pale and I think it just shocks him more than ever like wow, she really is deteriorating so yes, it’s then when he realises that he doesn’t know but she has obviously got something up her sleeve.

Would you have liked Robert to be part of the anniversary?

Yes it would’ve been nice, Jane and the team and she mentioned there was gonna be a lot action packed stuff for the 50th, which there is, but I was on holiday at the time and I kind of imagined there’d be some crazy action thing just to really step outside, that it would be some action packed thing where maybe Aaron could turn up and kidnap Robert out of prison, it was just stupid talk, I was actually telling Ryan about it. But no, it would’ve been really nice to have him back but it’s near impossible.

Because he’s gone down for life?

Well soap characters have done that before and they come back six years later, there’s always ways and means in soap.

Do you still get asked about Robert and Aaron? They were so iconic

Oh all the time yeah, we were talking about it on a podcast not so long ago and talking about on screen couples, I think icons isn’t the right word but I can’t think of anything else, maybe role models, Robert and Aaron led a relationship that was represented by so many people out there and it really helped change some people, people still tell me that now.

It was always going to be a question I was asked, how’s Robert or where’s Robert when people ask you in the street but yes they were a great soap couple and it was nice to be a part of and to share it with Ryan.

Will we find out where Aaron has been? He went to see Adam didn’t he? Has she moved on, got anyone else?

Yes, he’s got a boyfriend, he was in France with Adam, then they both moved to Italy and then Aaron’s met this guy called Marco and he talks about him quite a lot about, like Aaron always does, this is for keeps, this is for good, he’s said that about everyone and then he’s in another relationship. He’s been in Italy for the majority of the time from France.

How would Aaron feel if he were to found out his mum was having an affair with Al behind Paddy’s back?

To have that out in the moment, it’s tough to watch because I think everybody loves Paddy and Chas and particularly Aaron, Paddy is his dad in Aaron’s eyes - his dad robbed him of a life really and Paddy gave him one and looked after him, even when him and Chas split up.

He came out to Paddy and Paddy helped him deal with his sexuality and all the self harm stuff. I think it would be worse than the other way round in Aaron’s eyes, if Paddy was cheating, he would be more angry at Chas cheating than Paddy cheating. So yes he’s got strong feelings, I don’t think he’s going to like it at all.

Would he be able to forgive his mother and do you think he’d tell Paddy?

I think he’d want to tell Paddy every time but his mum’s going through a lot, it’s a timing thing, Faith’s really not well and Chas is playing away so the family could potentially be destroyed at the wrong time so I think his conscience is getting the better of him to tell people what’s happened, seeing Paddy and worrying about the family and what will happen and will Faith die and would she end up taking that with her instead of the happy memories of her family so it’s a lot to play with, it’s not just a case of telling Paddy.

His morals are always in the right place and he’s honest and I think it would kill him not to tell Paddy.

Have you caught up with the other actors who are back for the 50th, like Liz Estensen?

I was with Liz yesterday, I’ve had a couple of scenes with Amy (Walsh), I saw Liz yesterday and we were having a chat in the green room, it was really nice to see her, I always got on with Liz really well and it was so good to see her. She texted me after I’m a Celebrity congratulating me but I hadn’t seen the message because I didn’t have my phone back till the end of December so I missed the message.

She asked me ‘Did you get the message?’ So I looked through my messages and it was unread quite far down as it was December, I was like sorry I didn’t reply to it, we had a bit of a laugh about that. It was really nice to see her, she looks really well and I love her to bits.

Would you be open to returning on a more regular basis or was it just nice to be back for a short stint?

It was just nice to be back for a short stint and see everybody, it’s like going to a party every day and just catching up with people all over the place, cast and crew.

I’ve got a few things on at the end of the year, a pantomime and stuff and then I’ve got a job next year as well so it’s just not the right time at the moment.

But I’m not one of those actors that say ‘No, that’s it now, I’ve shelved it’, as I said it’s a massive part of my life, a huge part of my life and it always will be. There’s never a chance of me ever saying I’ll never go back.

If they had a 60th, could you see Aaron being a part of that? One of the old men in the pub?

Potentially, it depends how many kids I’ve got by then and how much of my mortgage needs paying. It’s one of those things, if it’s the right time. It’s a big part of my life and I wouldn’t ever necessarily turn it off. Obviously when I got the Bond role there might be a chance that I wouldn’t then come back!

50 years - which stories are you most proud of?

It’s obviously a bit dark but the more challenging storylines, the dark storylines if you like, a lot of Aaron’s storylines was mentally challenging for me and I had to dig deep and find something to play these big stories.

Coming out, dealing with Jackson being hit by a train then having to assist him in suicide, leaving the village and coming back and meeting Robert and going through all that affair of Robert cheating on Chrissie with him and going on to get married and Robert leaving for prison, there’s just so many of them.

I couldn’t necessarily pick out a time that I enjoyed the most, so many different scenes and storylines with so many of my friends that they are now was something that I’ll never forget.

It’s not something you can ever pay for really or wish for, it was just amazing when you think back of not just mine but all the stories of 15 years or whatever that I’ve been there, it’s just been amazing what they’ve been able to achieve, so many different writers and directors. i’m just proud of the whole show and as I say, it was a massive reason why I thought yeah, it would be really nice to be back and wish Emmerdale happy 50th.

Ultimate Playlist: Men’s Names, Barry – Billy

Barry Bonds Press Conference - The Musical by Paul and Storm Back in 2003, a grand jury began investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) with the suspicion that they were providing performance enhancing drugs to athletes, including Barry Bonds. Paul and Storm released this song in 2006 when the MLB launched its probe into Bond’s steroid use.

Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry Berry wrote this song because his sister Lucy was always playing classical music on the family piano when he wanted to play popular music. It’s one of 50 recordings selected by the Library of Congress to be included in the National Recording Registry.

The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill by The Beatles The song was inspired by Richard A. Cooke III, who was visiting his mother at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Rishikesh while the Beatles were there. Rik shot a tiger when it attacked the elephants he and his mother were riding.

Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home? by Hughie Cannon Willard “Bill” Bailey was a jazz musician and friend to Cannon who wrote the song one night when Bill told him about his marriage to Sarah. It’s been recorded by many singers—I’m partial to Jimmy Durante.

My Name! by Lionel Bart, sung by Sally Dexter and Miles Anderson From the musical Oliver!, based on Charles Dickens’s novel Oliver Twist, this song is sung by the character Bill Sikes, a brutal robber and murderer, and one o the main antagonists in the story.

Don’t Mess With Bill by The Marvelettes There’s another Bill that you don’t want to mess with featured in this song written and produced by Smokey Robinson.

Face Like Billy Joel by Da Vinci’s Notebook A parody of Billy Joel’s doo-wop song, “The Longest Time,” this one makes a punchline of Joel’s face. Of course, Billy was the one married to supermodel Christie Brinkley.

The Ballad of Billy the Kid by Billy Joel The story told in this song is completely inaccurate compared to the life of the real Billy the Kid. Joel claims that the Billy referred to in the last verse is a bartender he knew, but it seems much more likely that this is a self-reference.

Don’t Lose My Number by Phil Collins The song sounds dire, but the story of poor Billy was improvised and doesn’t really mean anything. The music video doesn’t make things any clearer, as it just depicts various directors trying to sell Phil concepts for the video parodying everything from David Lee Roth’s “California Girls” to the movie “Mad Max 2.”

All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow The lyrics for this song were adapted from the poem “Fun” by Wyn Cooper, who was inspired by a conversation at a bar with another writer, Bill Ripley. Sadly, the popularity of the song brought considerable royalties to Cooper and promoted his book, resulting in Ripley bringing a lawsuit against him for some of the money, ending their friendship.

Hide and Seek

“We’re here!” My mom parked in front of the rustic cabin overlooking the beautiful blue lake. “Everyone help me take the luggage inside.”

Before I could grab my backpack and suitcase, I saw my friends waving at me from the beach. I opened the car door and ran at full speed towards my friends.

“Ugh, every time.” My mom groaned and began unpacking the car with my dad and younger sister.

“Jamie!” All three of my friends suffocated me in their arms while giving me a big hug. “We’ve been waiting for you!”

“Do you want to play hide and seek?” Lucy, my best friend, loved hide-and-seek, and this was always the very first game we played together at this resort every year.

I nodded with a big smile on my face, and we all decided that I would be the one seeking everyone out. Lucy handed me an old-fashioned timer to help with the countdown.

“Okay, I’ll set a five minute timer!” I figured giving them that much time was a good idea, since this resort was so massive. “And…go!”

Lucy and my other two friends Jackson and Sally sprinted off, their giggling slowly vanishing into the air as they ran away to hide. I closed my eyes and waited for the timer to sound, while enjoying the gentle lapping of the lake against the shore and the soft wind carrying the scent of nearby bonfires.

The timer sounded, and I opened my eyes. However, to my disbelief, I saw my friends standing in the same place as when I arrived at the resort.

“Jamie!” The three of my friends again suffocated me while giving me a hug. “We’ve been waiting for you!”

“Do you want to play hide-and-seek?” Lucy asked eagerly.

Before answering, I turned around and saw my parents and younger sister just starting to unload the car. I turned back towards my friends, confused.

“Um, sure?” I gave my friends a subtle grin and said that I would be the one finding them. “I’ll set a five minute timer. Go!”

I turned around and closed my eyes, again hearing my friends’ giggling slowly vanishing into the air as they ran further and further away from me. 

The timer sounded, but there my friends were again, yelling my name and saying that they’ve been waiting for me. My body began to tremble, causing me to accidentally drop the timer onto a sharp rock, shattering it into hundreds of pieces.

“Oh, that’s okay Jamie.” Lucy reassuringly put her hand on my shoulder. “My dad got that old thing at a garage sale forever ago.”

Glancing around the resort nervously, I flashed Jamie a small grin. “I’ll just count down with my fingers this time.”

As I counted down, a warm breeze brushed through my long blonde hair and I could smell a hint of bonfires again. I opened my eyes after the countdown, and my friends were nowhere to be seen. I grinned, drew in a deep breath, and set off on my quest to find my friends.

Carrying the Banner Chapter 12: Once and For All- Davey Jacobs x Lucy Larkin

Word Count: 0.7k

Lucy walked into her room with a plate full of food for Davey. She set it on the nightstand then sat beside him, running a hand through his hair. 

“Goodmorning, sunshine,” she greeted with a smile. Davey groaned softly, not wanting to wake up even if he knew he should. He turned his head away with a quiet huff. 

“Morning already?” He grumbled.

“Morning already,” she repeated amusedly. “It’s a big day. Jack and Kathrine came by this morning.” That was definitely enough to wake the boy up. That definitely wakes him up. He propped himself on his elbows and looked at her in surprise. 

“They did? What for?” He asked confusedly. 

“They’ve got a plan. A good one too,” she answered, sliding the plate onto his lap. Davey immediately perked up, happy to know that Jack was back on their side again. 

“What is it?” 

“I’m almost tempted to not tell you” she joked but handed him a paper that Kathrine gave her for Davey. “They want to print this tonight in Pulitzer's basement and spread it around town.” The boy looked the paper over as a smile began to form on his face. 

“Looks like Jack actually has a brain in his big head,” he joked before looking at her. “But more likely this was Katherine’s idea.” Lucy offered him a smile as she took the paper back. 

“Yes, yes, now eat your food.”

“So bossy,” he huffed jokingly, though he did as she said. Lucy rolled her eyes playfully.  

“Your brother is better at listening than you are,” she joked. 

“Maybe you should date him then,” he retorted teasingly. 

“Oh didn’t you hear? Les already has a date,” she said with raised eyebrows. 

“Really now?” He asked, eyebrows also raised and an amused smile playing at his lips. 

“He told me this morning while he was eating. He’s very proud of himself,” she explained.

“Who is it?” He inquired with a small smile, earning a giggle from the girl. 

“He said her name was ‘Sally’ and that she was a plum.”

“Oh he’s so gonna hear it from me later,” he snickered as he finished eating. Les had teased him relentlessly when he and Lucy started going steady, so he was more than eager to repay the favor. 

“You two are so silly,” Lucy muttered amusedly. 

“You’d know what I go through if you had siblings,” he retorted. “You’re one of the lucky ones.” 

“I always wanted siblings,” she admitted with a small laugh. “But then I realized I would have to learn to share.” 

“It’s pretty bad” he huffed jokingly as he stood, looking down at his/Jack’s clothes. “Think my clothes are dry yet?”

“My mother hung them up on the rack that she hangs the costumes on,” she nodded. The boy merely nodded and pressed a kiss to her cheek as he passed her to go grab his clothes. While she waited the girl made her bed and tidied up her room. Once he returned fully dressed she faced him with a smile. 

“There you are, I almost forgot what you really looked like,” she teased.

“I was scared I was gonna develop a thick accent and artistic abilities,” he joked back, straightening out his vest. The girl giggled as she took a step forward to fix his collar for him. 

“I think the world would end.” 

“Really? I thought it’d make me more dashing,” he chuckled before gently taking her hand, kissing the back of it once she’s done. Lucy couldn’t stop herself from blushing as she shook her head. 

“No, I love the dork I fell for,” she responded simply. He smiled softly down at her.

“I love you too,” he muttered. Rather than answer the girl leaned up and pressed a sweet kiss to his lips, one that he gladly returned. Once they pulled away Lucy sighed in content while Davey looked down at her with a fond look. 

“I love you,” he repeated softly. 

And it was true. No one had ever made him feel this way before, made him feel safe and happy. Words couldn’t express just how much he cared for and appreciated her. He’d be happy to think of some that could, however. For now, though, he was content in just being with her.

Tbh hobo heart needs more love! LIKE PLEASE HE’S A SWEETIE PIE! Ignore the fact that they are all murders for a moment yall shush AND I MEAN SHUSHHHH!!! Anywyas hope you enjoy this gift :>>

Liu

- Due to having D.I.D I think he would find it difficult sometimes maintaining Sully.

- he hated the fact he fell for you… he loves you yes but you didn’t deserve him he thought you deserved better.

- If you are having an breakdown he would be there faster then sonic exe.

- When you are bored you two decide to walk around in the woods together hand in hand as you blabber on about things you like or something that happened.

- You two ended up dancing in the rain one time while some soft music played in the background. It really was like an romantic scene.

- you two got sick after but it was so ducking worth it.

- whenever he would switch he would bawl his eyes out cause he didn’t like you being around sully.

- sully is seven years old for god sakes but is an menace so you try your best to relax the other alter in Liu is body.

- Sully loves talking to you about what Liu says about you all the time.

- You and Sully at night time like to gossip and shit talk people but liu doesn’t know cause he is asleep.

- Give liu all the love he deserves after everything he's been through

- make sure your close to Jeff since he finds bonds with family are important and knows that he can trust you

- if you ever want to make his day. Just be there in the room he will immediately park up and will tell you his worries

- if you wanna make him even happier cut off Jeff’s head and bring it to Liu that man would panic but at the same time he happy

- if you do cut off Jeff’s head… Sulky would complain about how he wasn’t the one who did it

- he made you an playlist for your anniversary and you cried cause he put down all your favourite songs

- he learned how to make flower crowns with Sally and Lifeless Lucy. He gave you said flower crown and you bawled your eyes out.

-More earth and nature tones and aesthetics. It reminds him of his childhood, where he grew up by a creek.

- Being from New Orleans he loves music mainly Jazz and Pop

- When his scarf ripped he panicked so much.

- you sewed it back up/or knitted it back together he was so happy he wouldn’t stop peppering your face with kisses

- He HATES absolutely HATES seeing people give him looks for his scars.

- Even though Liu/Sully's normally never seen with anything covering his face. Sometimes when Liu/Sully gets insecure he puts on a mask to cover his stitches in public to avoid getting stares and causing a scene.

- He’s the type of guy who would take your heels (if your an woman or identify as one) and give you his own shoes and will walk barefoot even if it’s painful as shit he would do it for you.

- Liu can cook like an fancy ass rich chef. He’s one of the main people who cook for dinner, and lunch

- Liu isn't very open his emotions when you first started to date. you need to take things slow and let him open up when he's ready for it.

- Asking about his brother isn't something you should do at this point, its a very touchy subject.

- he likes nature walks but he also likes late night drives

- it’s an thing you both would do if you had free time together.

- he doesn’t want to lose you and neither does sully… even if he won’t admit it Sully loves the gossip night time sessions.

- he needs constant validation and reassurance, and he needs you to give him that he craves it.

Incubus hurt my brain 🧠 now I feel too controlled and retarded. I believe he’s been raping my 20 year old cousin she told me a month or 2 ago she hasn’t had any period all year. Her grandfather is supposedly a very smart man. 1:56 am pdt also she has a beautiful youthful face. Also, something else they make me forget 1:57 am pdt

3:52 pm pdt earlier today he almost burned me to death ☠️. I felt liked I was dying from the heat. It’s taken a toll. Definition of toll? I’ve reached my limit.

3:53 pm pdt in high school 🏫 an old man 👴 came to lecture us about “love.” He said there are many compatible people, & there isn’t necessarily a “the one.” Do you believe in love 😍 after ❤️ love? 🎶🎼🎵 Cher. It’s NOT always rainbows 🌈 and butterflies 🦋 that moves us along. 🎵🎼🎶 porn makes the world 🌎 go round he said in radio interview. 🍩🍆. Spins round (dizzy after coughing 2:58) it took me a while to understand that part of the song. It’s okay to only have strictly physical feelings for someone I saw 👀 something online that said that. I wonder 💭 when he said that. In philosophy class I took in 2005 my philosophy teacher said it’s wrong to have sex without love. I tried to harder to not have sex after my first boyfriend who I got together with when I was 19 years old. But I failed 3 more times. It became more apparent to me though that guys really do try to get away with extramarital sex and play psychological games each time thereafter. 4:03 pm pdt. The second to last guy was the least my fault- Bcz he hinted at things and he was the son of an architect who had money 💰 to renovate? A house in a nice neighborhood- a house that probably could be sold for ≈$2 million? now unless demon lord is gaslighting me. 4:06 pm pdt. 4:07 pm pdt nature is calling. 4:07 pm pdt. He also bragged they stayed in a hotel 🏨 while it was under construction 🚧. 4:08 pm pdt. Whether it’s true or not idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ he seems to lie? It seems to me he does. 4:09 pm pdt. Cupertino. 4:09 pm pdt.

5:15 pm pdt each time I cry 😭 incubus intentionally inflicted pain on my heart ♥️. I suspect a lot of older people are treated this way. When an older person says it broke their heart ♥️ I suspect that is what has been happening. A person named sally, her little dog 🐶 somehow got outside and I think I recall her saying he got hit by a car 🚘 and that it broke her heart ♥️. Suddenly I m crying uncontrollably, spontaneously. Still coughing still hot 🥵 in some spots.

ivy is a variant name of eve, which is variant? Of chavah. Ivy League college. I realize now they are more likely to be considered for mating with gods? In high school 🏫 a lady (#3 cramps/feels 😖😞🥵😤) told me there are book 📚 smarts and was it street smarts? Without much explanation that I can recall. Street smart what is that? Experience gained knowledge? With people? If a lot of stuff published are conjectures / hypothesis and have to pay 💰 to go to public or private college then knowledge ain’t free. I took an introduction to tech class but didn’t learn much. Saw pieces I don’t recall the names of the stuff. My grandpa 👴 probably knew but we rarely talked😕. My dad did carpentry 🪚 for a little while but stopped using power tools after an accident. 🛠 Jesus Christ probably had it rough I realized this year. No power tools! Trees 🌲 dense tall? Was he like Superman? Not the same as putting a car 🚗 in neutral and pushing it?? I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😖 bones 🦴 chest . 5:34 pm pdt. 5:38 pm pdt. 5:40 🥵😤😤😤🥵😤😤😤🥵😤😤😤😫😩 5:41 pm pdt

7:27 pm pdt incubus keeps on roasting me. Any heat would kill me now. When I took intro tech class in high school somehow I got in a group with a girl named misty moon 🌙. For some reason I (dizzy) feel like that ties in with Saint Lucia = Lucy in the sky 🌌 with diamonds 💎 the Beatles Sunday morning music video. Lunes lunar lunacy moon 🌙 Artemis (arty miss???) my dad liked to paint 🎨, traditional acrylic, air brush, photography, made stuff with wood 🪵. Also evenings = eve. In darkness she is all that I see ?? 🎶🎼🎵 music = muse I sick. Moo 🐮 moo-ing moo-n. (Vertigo? Pain 😫😩😞🥵😤😤🥵😤. I feel like I’m dying 😵 so it looks like Jesus coming back to life might’ve been a lie. The only thing we can anticipate which some how I started believing ≈2017, is that god can make our body into a puppet. 😭😵🤖😾😾 I believe it again. He toys 🧸 with my beliefs over and over. But I really feel on the verge of death ☠️ and he used me for his wicked purposes. He controlled my emotions, thoughts, and body. 🤖👾💩 don’t believe in him or anyone who associates with him presently. When a friend like Jordan dies, they are probably really dead. And he is not really sorry. He shortened his name and used it for his album jordi = whore die (español hoe-ta = j.) he label 🏷 the non whores (he attempted to use as whores) and use other women as whores but tell them “don’t ever apologize for being human.” Double standards. Don’t trust that he conducted business with fairness and righteousness behind closed doors 🚪. It is likely He will only have a few “token” cases to flaunt as a cover. You really don’t know what goes on when (heart pain 😵😖🥵😤😫😫😫) you shut people out and you don’t walk in their shoes. 7:47 pm pdt being a woman who has the deal with anemia monthly, having a kinda shitty 💩life, head/body trauma/concussions, there are lots of ways to abuse me and take advantage of me, make me crazy and dumb. If you choose to not be understanding of these things, you are walking into the dark. 7:49 pm pdt. 7:50 pm pdt
