5 & 13!

5. who is your favorite character?

- i have so many favorite characters lol. but first and foremost has to be the love of my life, Klaus 🖤 (i can go into why he’s my number one favorite character another time if anyone wants to know lol) and some of my other favorite characters are under the cut 😅 there’s a lot of them so i thought i should just do this so if anyone doesn’t want to read all of that, they don’t have to lol.

13. do you have any dreams or aspirations?

- i do 🥰 i want to become an actor/actress 🖤 (well i guess actor is the more gender neutral of the two 😅) like to play a character and work on a show or movie that can help someone through the tough times like my favorite shows, movies, characters and actors/actresses have for me, or idk maybe make them feel less alone, that’s all i want.

i want to be able to tell that character’s story well enough that someone can relate to it or feel like they are being seen and heard. i just- to be able to give someone even a fraction of what my comfort/favorite movies, shows, characters & actors/actresses have given me and continue to give me and how they make me feel so much less alone when i’m struggling, always managing to put a smile on my face or making a good day even better, that would just mean the world to me 💙

i would love to be able to give someone the comfort, happiness, love and security my faves have given me and still do give me 🖤 and i would love for there to be more non-binary, bi/pan/queer and demisexual representation in media!

like i realize it’s a long shot. but i have wanted this with all of my heart and soul, have dreamt of this and wished for this to be my career or what i do my whole life 💙 i want this with everything i have and love acting so much! it’s my passion! (hopefully all of that makes sense 💖)

thank you so so much for asking these 🥰💙🖤

my other favorite characters are the doctor (11,13,10,12), luba (idc if he’s not in the movie that much, he is one of my favorite characters lol) nathan young, vincent (the road within) rose tyler, donna nobel, clara oswald, river song, amy and rory pond, sally sparrow, jack harkness, bill potts, yasmin khan, missy, madame vastra & jenny (they’re all doctor who characters 😅) captain marvel, jim and pam (the office), sigrit (eurovision song contest the story of fire saga) alexis rose, david rose, stevie budd (schitt’s creek), diego hargreeves, ben hargreeves, allison hargreeves, vanya hargreeves, dave katz and eudora patch, sissy, lila pitts and raymond chestnut, sam and dean winchester, castiel (i love a lot of other supernatural characters but i’ll just leave it at those three for now lol), takeshi kovach (altered carbon), louise & tina belcher, linda & bob belcher, steve harrington, jim hopper, eleven, robin (stranger things), maleficent, aurora, prince philip, flora & fauna & merryweather, esmerelda, belle, ariel, rapunzel, flynn rider, star butterfly, marco diaz, marie & duchess & thomas o’malley (the aristocats), pongo & perdita (101 dalmatians), hook, regina and emma swan (once upon a time), alice (alice in wonderland the animated one lol) sam beckett (quantum leap), loki, wanda maximoff, black widow, gamora, bucky, theo & nellie crane (hill house), lucifer & chloe & maze & trixie & ella (lucifer), nick miller & jess & cece (new girl), marty & lorraine mcfly (back to the future), cindy & alice & ziggy (adult and young) & deena & josh (fear street 😅), peyton sawyer, brooke davis, quinn james, julian baker, hayley james scott, lucas scott, nathan scott (one tree hill), hatter (syfy’s alice), connor temple and abby maitland (primeval), sean falco, maeve wiley, eric effiong and aimee gibbs (sex education), franky doyle, bea smith, allie novak doreen anderson (wentworth), bo dennis, kenzie and dyson (lost girl), steven universe, garnett, amethyst, lapis lazuli, saphire and ruby, connie maheswaran, stevonnie and pearl (steven universe 😅) gloria pritchett and phil dunphy (modern family), michelle mallon, james maguire, erin quinn, orla mccool and clare devlin (derry girls), billy delaney, archie (demons never die), luke (cherry bomb), jamie (the bigger picture), vladek klimov, megara (hercules) and so so so so many other characters 😅

Doug is a manager. As a manager, his inspirations are Paul Heyman, Zelina Vega, Lana, and Bobby Heenan. Smee kids and Elle are commentators. The boys tend to like Michael Cole, Beth Phoenix and Byron Saxton. Elle tends towards JR, Corey Graves and Renee Young. Dizzy is a reporter back stage, but her favourite wrestlers to watch are Bayley, Kylie Rae, Breezango, and Princess Kimberly as a face. She gets her professional inspiration from Renee Young, Gene Okerlund, Charly Caruso and Cathy Kelley.

Hola. I know that I'm a total stranger and I know that this may seem like a personal question, so you can answer privately if you wish. I'm slowly developing a graphic novel about both a professional wrestler and the girl who looks up to her as a pillar of strength. I believe asking real-life fans might help in writing the story. I'd like to know what inspiration you find in the wrestlers and what they do and what kind of presence they have.

Hi! First, let me apologize for taking so long to respond, I’ve been thinking about how to answer this the best way I can. In all honesty, I look to women wrestlers mostly I’ve looked up to many women in the industry for years. Women like Mickie James, Michelle McCool, Alicia Fox, Naomi, Marti Belle, Nikki Bella, Nia Jax. They have all helped me in ways you couldn’t imagine, with my sexuality, with being proud of where I come from, with loving myself, with following my dreams, with everything, I owe a lot to these women. Idk if this was the type of answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps. If anyone of my followers wants to comment and help them out please do! 💖

For awhile now I have been thinking about Barbie’s old cousins, Francie and Jazzie, and trying to think about how they would fit into movie canon. So here we go!

Martha (GPA grandma) and George Roberts, Sr. have 3 children: George Jr., Marlene, and Lillian/Lily.

Marlene has never been married. She had Max and Marie with a sperm donor.

Lily married Claude Fairchild and they have Francie. They live in London.

Millicent was once married to a man named Marty McCool, many years ago, but now she is amicably divorced. Through her marriage, she had one daughter, Jazzie. She and her ex are on very good terms and share custody of Jazzie. Jazzie spends all her summers and holidays with her father (hence why she is not in Fashion Fairytale or Perfect Christmas).

I was going to add some more to this but I’m impatient so just have this for now.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) – A judge on Friday urged the U.S. government to focus on finding deported immigrant parents so it could reunite them with their children who remain in the United States following separation by officials at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.

The government had declared it had met a court-ordered deadline to reunite families separated during the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance policy” aimed at discouraging illegal immigration.

U.S. Judge Dana Sabraw said at a court hearing in San Diego the government deserved credit for the 1,820 children released from custody to a parent or sponsor. However, he urged officials to focus on the 711 children who remain separated after the government deemed their parents ineligible because they were deported, the government was unable to find them in the United States or the parent failed a background check.

“The focus has to be on the parents removed without their children and the up to 52 parents released to the interior without their children,” Sabraw said at Friday’s hearing.

Sabraw seemed most concerned during Friday’s hearing with allegations that 120 parents who the government said had waived their right to reunification might have misunderstood what they were signing, or felt coerced.

The government has said it has given every detained parent notice of their legal rights, and contact information for an attorney.

The parents were “effectively being tortured” by the knowledge they accidentally signed forms waiving the right to their child, Lee Gelernt, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, said after the hearing.

The ACLU, which brought the lawsuit that led to Sabraw’s reunification order, asked Sabraw to halt deportations of parents who waived their reunification rights and to give parents a week after being reunited with their children before being deported.

Parents needed time to consider legal options, such as leaving the child in the United States to pursue asylum on their own, the ACLU said.

The government has said the parents already have adequate time to consider their rights, and granting the ACLU request was unwarranted.

“The administration continues to comply in good faith with the court’s requests while protecting the safety and well-being of all children in our care,” the Department of Homeland Security, which handles detained parents, said in a statement.

Sabraw took the request under advisement.

The parents have largely fled violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, according to immigration advocates.

Rights groups on Friday criticized the government’s reunification efforts as confused and chaotic.

The government acknowledged that it lacked the technical capability to quickly provide information about children separated from their parents, according to a court filing on Thursday.

Advocates said they were struggling to find immigrant families to confirm they had been matched with their children.

“The deadline is not the finish line,” said Efrén Olivares of the Texas Civil Rights Project. “The work is only beginning and it will take many months.”

He said his group represented 382 families, and only 110 were reunited with their children. The others were deported without their child or in detention without their child and the group was trying to determine the fate of 200 parents.

Non-profit groups were providing cash and transportation to help families get on their feet, Olivares said.

“The government has literally left these people to fend for themselves,” Olivares said on a call with reporters. “It confirms that when the government started separating families earlier this summer they didn’t have a plan to reunite them.”

'Imagine the joy:' Father, four-year-old son reunite in U.S. immigration crisis

SAN BENITO, Texas (Reuters) – With tears and smiles, Salvadoran asylum seeker Walter Armando Jimenez Melendez reunited with his 4-year-old son Jeremy on Tuesday after six weeks of anguished separation.

“(I went) without knowing where he was – if he was eating, how they were treating him,” said Jimenez, 29, as he shared a meal with his child for the first time since May. “Imagine the joy I felt.”

The father said that he and his son were overcome with emotion when they set eyes on each other. The boy cried, he said. Asked if he was happy to see his dad, Jeremy shyly smiled and nodded.

Jimenez, who was held in two different facilities in Texas, said he did not learn he would rejoin Jeremy until four hours before and did not believe it until he saw the boy.

Jeremy was among 63 children under the age of five whom Judge Dana Sabraw in U.S. District Court in San Diego ordered the U.S. government to reunite with their parents by Tuesday. They were separated by immigration officials when they crossed into the United States from Mexico.

On Tuesday, Sabraw told government attorneys he would not extend that deadlines set two weeks ago for the children under five or for 2,000 other children to be reunited by July 26.

The government had asked Sabraw to extend the deadlines because it needed time to test DNA to confirm family relationships, run background checks, find parents who were released from custody and review parental fitness.

“We’ve saved kids’ lives by keeping them from being with some really evil people some of them,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told CNN, adding that 38 children were to be reunited on Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who took his hardline policy on immigration to the White House from the 2016 election campaign, was dismissive of reporters’ questions about the missed deadline.

“Tell people not to come to our country illegally,” he said. “That’s the solution.”

Not all of those separated from their children, however, had crossed the border illegally. Some, like Jimenez, walked up to a border crossing point and asked for asylum.

Trump stopped separating families last month following public outrage and court challenges.

More than 2,300 children were separated from their parents after the Trump’s administration announced its “zero tolerance” policy in early May. The government is seeking to prosecute all adults who crossed the border illegally. While parents are held in jail to await trial by a judge, children are moved into various centers across the country.

After U.S. immigration officials brought Jimenez and his son together on Tuesday afternoon, the pair went to La Posada Providencia, an emergency shelter for refugees in San Benito, Texas near the Mexican border.

Over a dinner of rice, bread, meat, ice cream and cookies at the shelter, one of the center’s nuns said a prayer of thanks for the reunion of the boy and his father. Jeremy, dressed in a denim jacket, smiled broadly at hearing his name mentioned.

The two left San Salvador on May 12 after Jimenez was extorted by a gang member at his home and later accused by police of being a gangster, the father said.

They gave themselves up at the Texas border on May 24 and they remained together for five days, Jimenez said. The two were separated on May 29 when border patrol agents said Jimenez had to attend a court hearing. Jimenez waited for two hours until they told him he would not be reunited with his child.

“They separated us with lies,” Jeremy said in Spanish. “More than mad, I was sad because I couldn’t say bye. I couldn’t give him a few words and tell him that everything would be all right.”

The father and son will move on by bus to Rock Hill, South Carolina, on Wednesday morning where they will be reunited with Jimenez’s wife and his stepson, the father said.

“Sometimes I try to be strong so as to not show him sadness,” said Jimenez, wearing a red polo and sporting short black hair and a light beard.

“I hope that from here on everything is pure joy for him and that he can quickly forget about all of this.”
