Kill Her Twice by Stacey Lee G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers

Los Angeles, 1932: Lulu Wong, star of the silver screen and the pride of Chinatown, has a face known to practically anyone, especially to the Chow sisters—May, Gemma, and Peony—Lulu’s former classmates and neighbors. So the girls instantly know it’s Lulu whose body they discover one morning in an out-of-the-way stable, far from the Beverly Hills mansion where she moved once her fame skyrocketed.

The sisters suspect Lulu’s death is the result of foul play, but the LAPD—known for being corrupt to the core—doesn’t seem motivated to investigate. Even worse, there are signs that point to the possibility of a police cover-up, and powerful forces in the city want to frame the killing as evidence that Chinatown is a den of iniquity and crime, even more reason it should be demolished to make room for the construction of a new railway depot, Union Station.

Worried that neither the police nor the papers will treat a Chinese girl fairly—no matter how famous and wealthy—the sisters set out to solve their friend’s murder themselves, and maybe save their neighborhood in the bargain. But with Lulu’s killer still on the loose, the girls’ investigation just might put them square in the crosshairs of a coldblooded murderer.

When life gives you guitars, smash them!

School is out for summer and Ariel Grace Jones is determined to make it one for the books! Together with their bestie bandmates, Michele and Gael, Ariel believes they’re destined to break into the music industry and out of Chicago’s Southside by singing lead in their garage punk band, Baby Hares.

But before Baby Hares can officially get into the groove, the realities of post grad life start to weigh on this crew of misfits. Ari begins to worry that it’s time to pull the plug on their dreams of making it big.

Just when all hope feels lost, a fellow punk and local icon takes an interest in their talent. It seems like he might be the only one Ariel can rely on as frustrations between bandmates reach at an all-time high.

Punk Rock Karaoke is a coming-of-age tale that draws upon the explosive joy of the underground scene, while raising questions about authenticity, the importance of community and what it means to succeed on your own terms.

Song of the Six Realms by Judy I. Lin Feiwel & Friends

Xue, a talented young musician, has no past and probably no future. Orphaned at a young age, her kindly poet uncle took her in and arranged for an apprenticeship at one of the most esteemed entertainment houses in the kingdom. She doesn’t remember much from before entering the House of Flowing Water, and when her uncle is suddenly killed in a bandit attack, she is devastated to lose her last connection to a life outside of her indenture contract.

With no family and no patron, Xue is facing the possibility of a lifetime of servitude playing the qin for nobles that praise her talent with one breath and sneer at her lowly social status with the next. Then one night she is unexpectedly called to the garden to put on a private performance for the enigmatic Duke Meng. The young man is strangely kind and awkward for nobility, and surprises Xue further with an irresistible offer: serve as a musician in residence at his manor for one year, and he’ll set her free of her indenture.

But the Duke’s motives become increasingly more suspect when he and Xue barely survive an attack by a nightmarish monster, and when he whisks her away to his estate, she discovers he’s not just some country noble: He’s the Duke of Dreams, one of the divine rulers of the Celestial Realm. There she learns the Six Realms are on the brink of disaster, and incursions by demonic beasts are growing more frequent.

The Duke needs Xue’s help to unlock memories from her past that could hold the answers to how to stop the impending war… but first Xue will need to survive being the target of every monster and deity in the Six Realms.

Cristina and Clement Trudeau have conjured the impossible: justice.

They took back their family’s stolen throne to lead New Orleans’ magical community into the brighter future they all deserve.

But when Cris and Clem restored their family power, Valentina Savant lost everything. Her beloved grandparents are gone and her sovereignty has been revoked—she will never be Queen. Unless, of course, someone dethrones the Trudeaus again. And lucky for her, she’s not the only one trying to take them down.

Cris and Clem have enemies coming at them from all directions: Hateful anti-magic protesters sabotage their reign at every turn. A ruthless detective with a personal vendetta against magical crime is hot on their tail just as Cris has discovered her thirst for revenge. And a brutal god, hunting from the shadows, is summoned by the very power Clem needs to protect the boy he loves.

Cris’s hunger for vengeance and Clem’s desire for love could prove to be their family’s downfall, all while new murders, shocking disappearances, and impossible alliances are changing the game forever.

Welcome back to New Orleans, where gods walk among us and justice isn’t served, it’s taken.

tagged to post my 9 favourite album with commentary by @mathewbaldzal !!!! we r two peas in a pod i think with having a lot to say about some tunes...

in no particular order...

different class (1995) - pulp. this is not my no1 album of all time because i don't have a favorite album of all time, but this album is in part representative of "getting into music" to me. i love 90s britpop, whatever that means for a random american and this is my fav of em all (though i do actually quite rate this is hardcore in pulp's discography). "common people" is one of the songs of ALL TIME. god jarvis's little sing-song sleazyness gets me. really, really, really great classic performance of it at glasto 1995...for some reason "pencil skirt" also always really hits.

home video (2021) - lucy dacus. the newest album on this list by a long shot, but it's had songs in my top5 year end lists since it came out. i've also seen lucy live <3. this album rises above some of the others in similar company (punisher - phoebe bridgers, the boygenius ep, etc) because i never get tired of it. "first time" "hot & heavy" "brando" and "triple dog dare" are nearly always standbys in my listening history. probably gonna be an album-i-listened-to-in-college classic forever...

songs of love and hate (1971) - leonard cohen. maybe none of my favorite leonard cohen songs are on this album, but as a single work, this album stuns me. possibly the most transfixing 44:21 i've ever heard. his lyricism in particular is -- i can't even describe it. the mix with his voice, the sparseness of the instrumentation at time, the harmonies. i'm not a big stories guy but in this, yeah, the songwriting, the stories. i don't think there's another album like this one out there, really.

if you're feeling sinister (1998) - belle & sebastian. the first time i heard this album, i thought i had never heard an album so perfect. i love songs off of it but i nearly always listen to it whole. i love, love, love b&s's early sound (twee, if you will), and stuart murdoch's lyrics really, really shine. this is one of my favorite albums to listen to when i have a headache because it's lovely to just, focus on but not grating at all. i really love "judy and the dream of horses" and "get me away from here i'm dying". really, a beautiful work

rumours (1977) - fleetwood mac. i was sort of scrolling through some of my playlists trying to decide what to put on this list (it's a bit weighted towards stuff that's in rotation now) and i couldn't leave off fleetwood mac (in part to represent the huge part of my music taste that is like. classics 1965-1980). stevie nicks was one of my earlier music obsessions (the OG was the beatles). so many wonderful songs and riffs. i know this was left off the original 12-inch but "silver springs" is one of my favorite songs forever and ever and ever...

nebraska (1982) - bruce springsteen. when it comes down to it, this is my favorite springsteen album. i do think his 1975-1987 run of albums is pretty much perfect but nebraska is a masterpiece in a way that i find hard to express in words. there's a sense of sparseness and distance in this work (in part bc of how it was recorded) that i find so utterly compelling i can't even describe. "nebraska" - especially this 1984 live version - is a perfect song to me. perfect. i also like a lot of the stuff that went into inspiring this album (notably flannery o'connor) and well. where it fits into springsteen's narritivization of his own life (dude was in the dumps).

all killer, no filler (2001) - sum41. this pick is a little bit representative of the era of my life where i basically exclusively listened to pop punk but if songs of love and hate is an album that's perfectly drawn out, this is an album that's perfectly compressed. like, the title is correct. this album is fucking TIGHT. i used to listen to it at a job i hated to make the 30-min intervals go by. and it's got such classics...."fat lip"..."motivation..." of course, "in too deep." SO good.

what did you expect from the vaccines? (2011) - the vaccines. maybe this pick is a tiny bit cheesy but it is a perfect encapsulation of the era of alt rock it came from. which i love. i really like the vaccines, i think they're super fun and i did see them in concert finally and they totally lived up to that. "wetsuit" is again...one of my favorite songs of all time. "if you wanna" is a perpetual banger.

age of consent (1983) - new order. again, an album that deserves to be listened to whole, despite how good "age of consent" hits alone ever single time. sometimes i think i like another new order album more than this, but i don't. sumner's voice just out-of-tune ringing out over that sound, that new order sound, the bass, that post-punk club vibe. they're a band that don't sound like anyone else, and this is the album most indicative of that. wow, every time.

a few narrow misses

boxer (2007) - the national. i didn't get the national until one day i did. "slow show." my god. hello.

very (1993) - pet shop boys. it's too simple to say this is an album about gay love because it's so embedded in it's context but. this is an album with so much love. psb are brilliant.

the execution of all things (2002) - rilo kiley. jenny lewis CALL ME. also like. you know "a better son/daughter". there's more.

a thousand suns (2010) - linkin park. i used to listen to this at 6th grade cross-country practice. first band i ever got into on my own. idk.

this is not only my favorite albums but a pretty decent summation of the broad strokes my overall taste. thank you again for the tag!! i enjoyed doing this a lot :). idk who has done this/on what blogs so if u have PLEASEEEEE send it to me i want to see!! i tag @lfcrobbo @upthebrackets @girlfriendline @odegoob @amandaleveille @thelittlebirdthatkeptsomanywarm @kritischetheologie @bright-and-burning @a-corn-field if any of u want to but no presh!!!

[secrettastemakerland]

How do we think the wildehopps proposal would go👀 (there’s no wrong answer btw I genuinely think any scenario would work out for these dorks lol)

Okay this question feels like an easy argumentative essay that I can go on forever about /pos but I'll try to keep it brief lmao

I feel like nick would put the ring in a pawpsicle! And then proceed to forget which pawpsicle he put it in bc he's smooth like that. Maybe choke on it a little bit before spitting it out and trying something else haha (something something elephant suit something something judy gets tricked)

If judy were proposing (bc she's trying to be an official wilde ya know? and nick is So slow about it, she took matters into her own hands) I feel like nick would know 😭 he would just Know somehow and probably interrupt or something cause he's stupid 😭🫶 and then judy would get mad and not cute cause bunnies aren't cute that's mean, and just scream it out 🫶

[kaledya]

Don't worry for the word "sir" 🌸🌸 its just in my langage its just Madam or Sir I suppose (there is an attempt for like they/them things but its very hard cause all my langage has two gender to it female or male and all the sentence is conjugated for be one or the other!)

[This is why in posts and notes I always talk about Lolicia as 'she' because its more easy, it comes more naturally]

Ahah you're so sweet Butler Kaledya, I thank you kindly for your delightful service *bow head with a quick smile* 🌸 Too Sweet, cover by Reinaeiry is so great ! I always think of Alastor when I hear this song of Hozier ! _

'Judy and Nick in Hell', the perfect say to Hürrem and Giovanni. By the way (my fun moment ship name ?!) :

  - Hünni (so cute sound like honey)   - Giovem ?   - Foxbird 🤣 _

Oh the episodes are that long ? That is probably why I stop looking at it, cause I like good historical drama normally. _

Addolorata 'means "grieving" in Italian, from the title of the Virgin Mary, Maria Addolorata. It is most common in southern Italy. It is the equivalent of Spanish Dolores.' (behindthename site source)

That is why Val calls Addolorata 'dolores' ! Its the Spanish version of her name. _

Serenity has a all clan of Hellhounds to named, i think she has the right to not be always creative ! And yes Lucky is a bit too simple ? Or its like Lucky Luck. _

Oh, I'm so happy, I thought I missed something in the information about Paimon but its okay.

And yes you are in the logic, Luci could keep his natural "human" beauty less animalistic (in the au) and not be corrupted like the other angels because he is a Archangel.

Yes I saw a drawing you did (in a ref sheet for Charlie I believe) and a post explaining the blood type. Its interesting, tell me more !

For me it was - Gold blood for angels - Orange blood for nephilims (mixed angel/human, I think it is called)

In my head all the Hellborns (Aristocrats, Succubus, Imps, Hellhounds) have black/indigo blood ? Like ink. Yes.

And Sinners have like black blood mixed with red blood.

Red would be the color of corruption/evil whatever (because in SSAU Roo has red hair and her principal color is red, right?) And I was thinking, the more a Sinner take souls in contract and act more 'demon-like', the more red their blood. Perhaps even eyes can be found in the blood (in demon form)

Because for a demons to take souls his natural but for a formal human demon its corrupted even more and they become more 'monster' than themselves ?

For exemple : When Alastor and Lolicia make the alliance, we can see Alastor's blood being black and red.

And I think If I write Alastor's demon form  and he gets hurt and bleed, we could see eyes pattern in the blood spilled ?

I think all Overlords could have that type of blood and the eyes make them 'heavier' and this is how they can measure their power before entering The Tournament (Overlords headquarters in my ff) but it can be only in AA ! Its whatever you want.

Tell me what you think ! _

And for Constantine arranging a marriage for Hürrem is what she wants (at the beginning) be part of the Goetia fully and be dedicated to the aristocracy, but perhaps the more time she passes time trying to find Lilith with Giovanni, the more she will be open to want something else ? (Especially her who is a HUGE romantic) But it's not sure at all, cause being part of the Goetia is her goal since forever, it will be difficult to change her dream and the sacrifices she is willing to make to make it happen.

So interesting ! Can you, if you want, tell me more about Elrond ? I know he is 18 and he is the twin brother of Octavia, right ? So the son of Stolas and Stella ?

I think he is adorable!

What does he think of his dad loving a Imp ? Does he lives in his dad or mother palace after the divorce ?

Will it find it rude of Constantine to propose him a future bride that is not fully Goetia (a quarter demon bunny) ?

What is his powers related to ? For exemple Stolas its the prophecies and stars.

His he gay ? Curious. That *slay* on the doodle just give me a hint ahah.

The Goetia are very tall in general. How tall is he ? Is he considered more classical pretty and Octavia more 'rebellious' on her style ?

I will stop. Stop me with the questions !

_

I didn't know for the 30 tags and the ':D' ! That is funny !

And yes I can imagine! *Giovanni and Hürrem in the car. Hürrem is driving and let her phone open on the side. Giovanni takes it discreetly and she doesn't see it.*

G *reading a random radioapple smut ff*: "The king let his hands carress the antlers of the Overlord and whispered in his ear thousand and thousand of years of depravity.."

*Hürrem almost make an accident, flushed, turn the head still driving and try to take her phone back.*

H : Giovanni ! Stop ! Give me my phone back ! G *laughing and moving the phone away continues to read* : "they're in heat season..." Oh waw, who would known that you were into such things? Oh cute. H : I swear, if you don't stop I will crash the car right now. G : You will not ! Its a rental ! H :Giovanni my phone!

*chaos* ahah. _

Yes, Serenity being a doctor is an accomplishment in her time!

(And I don't know for 'People of Color', in my country we don't define people by the color of their skin, but first with their nationaly (are you part of our country) and then the origins of each side of your families on different degrees (parents and grandparents) and when we mention color its more in a joking way. So I don't know enough on the topic of this in America either ! I'm sorry.)

((Even two days ago I was watching an American show 'White Lotus s2' and they talk about 'affiliated white friends' ? And with the person I was watching we where just like "???" What does that mean ?))

Racism and sexism is the worst. Its a level of stupidity I'm not willing to talk about im sorry ahah I will get mad too.

The only exemple I know like Serenity backstory his in the serie Outlander (third season i think) 1950s the hero, Claire, move in in America, and she is a nurse during WWII and she wants to become a doctor. She faces a lot of sexism. And in her faculty she becomes friend with a man who is a Black American of origin and he faces racism. So they both try to make their ways in this hard climate. (At the end they both become surgeons so slay!!)

People's opinion are worth to listen before making a verdict, of course !

_

Me too i cant wait ! I'm glad you like it Thank you for your time and have a nice day !🌸🌸🌸

THANKS! I'm seriously relieved and thank you for your clarification!! And yes, I can understand why you use 'she' for Lolicia.And translation programs usually automatically specify it as 'she'For example, translation programs always indicate Charlie as 'He'.(I hate this thing, it requires constant editing)

I'm glad you were satisfied with my service, madam.

And yes, the lyrics and the way he sings the song really gives off the Alastor vibe.

--

MY VOTE IS DEFINITELY FOR HUNNI, IT'S TOO CUTE!!!

YOU'RE so Creative!!!

--

And the meaning of Addolorata's name is really beautiful!!

And I don't know why, but I think it fits Lolicia in its meaning!

And it was a really clever detail that Val called they by the Spanish equivalent of their name!!

--

Yes! There is a limit to human creativity!

--

Yes, in a way, the purer something is, the harder it is to corrupt it.

Charlie and Constantine's birth conditions cannot be called normal. After Lilith's fall, although she tried many times with Lucifer, she always had a miscarriage.

This is because Angel blood (gold) It is like an acid that melts/burns demons/Or corrupt ones.

And because Lilith is a corrupt ancient human In a way, a child from her and Lucifer died while still in the womb.

There is no need to give too much detail. Lucifer and Lilith prepared a spell over the years to ensure that the baby did not die, and this time was really tiring for both of them, but the result was successful!!

The bloods had finally found balance, but they were founded on a kind of constant balance of destruction followed by renewal.

That's why Charlie and Constantine have copper/resin colored blood, and this blood is something that harms sinners/hellborns, just like angel blood.

(This is not the case with sins because they do not have the old purity in their blood only Lucifer had)

So, without going into too much detail, this is the story, but you can change this as you wish!!

---

I totally agree with your thoughts about Bloods.And it's a very clever idea to increase the redness of the sinners' blood as they become corrupted.In a way, red is the color that represents Roo and evil is something created by humans and the blood of humans is red.

THIS IS A SERIOUSLY GREAT IDEA!!! It is both aesthetically pleasing and very logical, both visually and in terms of storytelling!

After all, evil is Roo, and the more you contain it, the more it will come out.

I totally agree with your idea about the balance of Bloods and Sinners with red and black, I think it's a really great idea.

And It's really good how overlords entered the Tournament like this.After all, they are the most monstrous of sinners.

And for some reason, while doing this, EPIC's Monster song is playing in my mind.

--

I understand perfectly well. She thinks the only way she can be accepted is if she becomes a complete Goetia.And yes, maybe this may change with her experiences, maybe she will never deviate from her decision.Only the future will tell.

I'm seriously curious about Hürrem's decision regarding her future!!

And I have a question. As far as I know, a king can remove the 'Bastard' mark from someone and declare them fully noble.Why does Hürrem prefer marriage and engagement instead?(I seriously have no knowledge about this, can you explain)

---

Yes! Elrond is Octavia's twin brother and he is 18 years old and I'm so glad you like him!?

-He holds a grudge against his father for this. Apart from cheating on his mother, he sees it as an insult to his mother that he cheated on her with an imp the lowest races. And because of what his father did, he hates the fact that mother and father are constantly fighting at home

And and he Stolas feels that he didn't care enough about Octavia during these events.

-First of all, It is truly a great honor to have a engagement proposal brought to him by the Prince; even among nobles, Constantine is a rare person to interact with.That's why I think Elrond would be honored if something like this happened.

Ultimately, he will marry under any circumstances, but it is a really big deal for the person she will marry to be recommended by the Prince.

I think he will wonder why at first, but I don't think he will care much, after all, Hürrem is still a Goetia.

And I think he will try to get to know Hürrem and if he loves her, I don't think he will mind her being a hybrid.

-His powers are like the powers of Stolas, as well as the glacier powers that come from her mother's side

-Lmao that doodle really gives that Hint.😂 But no He is a Material girl and a Diva but he's not gay he's Pan.

-Yes, he is the exact opposite of Octavia, he is generally a luxurious and classically dressed person who likes to spend time with nobles.

In terms of height, he is close to stella, but he continues to grow even though he is not a full adult.

And thank you for your questions, I hope I answered them!!🌸🌸

--

THEY'RE IN WHAT????? LMAO

And I really laughed a lot while reading the dialogues you wrote. It's great to have a scene like this And Hürrem's panic was also very entertaining lmao

""GIVE ME MY PHONE, GIOVANNI"

*He continues reading "HAH, they say that those who look the most innocent actually have the deepest thoughts, fluffy feathers, I didn't believe it until now, but you are like living proof."

*with an embarrassed face* "SHUT UP AND GIVE ME MY PHONE!! (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠))

(Note to self, don't look at Hürrem's internet history)

And imagine this information goes to the Report

Serenity: Giovanni, thank you dear for giving the report of the last 28 days, you have made good progress even if you still do not have access to full information.

How is your relationship with your partner, whom Majesty has put forward?

Giovanni: She is a very nice, a little excited girl. But she does not act like a Goetia, she is a sincere person.I haven't learned much about her hobbies, but she seems to like reading fanfic.

Serenity: What is a fanfic, is it something like a book?

Giovanni: I feel like it's better if you don't know, but if you want, you can tell the Prince to look at RadioApple, you'll be amused by his reaction.Anyway, Hürrem is waiting for me outside, I shouldn't keep her waiting any longer, after all, there is a huge hell we need to investigate.

*runs out the door quickly*

Serenity: ?????

(By the way, the funny thing is that if they investigate RadioApple, both Constsntine and Serenity will suffer the same level of emotional damage lmao)

---

"People of Color''Thank you for your explanation about And The reason ı put that sentence to article is was for native English speakers, so that I can be warned if I said it wrong.But thank you again for your explanation, I learned about your point of view!!

--

And the dialogue in White Lotus S2 is really weird, what does that even mean???

I seriously agree, sometimes I watch movies that deal with these topics and I'm like this."How can people be so stupid argggg"

--

And yes, I have heard of Outlander!I watched it for a while Seriously, that characters. I'm so glad they achieved the thing they wanted despite all the difficulties!!I mean, even people who just want to help people are treated so unfairly. At least those two went through all that and achieved their dreams.

Thank you again for the time you took to answer.And I wish you a good day too🫂❤️❤️❤️

[goatskickin]

Not a question, more appreciation! Thank you for having so much amazing and appropriate clothes for elders! I have always struggled finding nice stuff for them!

THANK YOU

uh I had more to say about this

When making elder cc (mostly EF but I’m looking to do much more EM stuff too, yay grandpa), I do try to highlight shapes and choose patterns, that - to me - scream: “I’ve lived a good long life. I’m not 21 anymore and I don’t want to be. But I’m no schlub.”

All About Style has always been a huge style inspiration for me for grandmother fashion. That site’s EF clothing was the perfect mix of quirky, fashion-conscious and matronly-cool clothes. Judie had immaculate taste! There’s a reason her cc was beloved, even after years of play.

Much of existing elder cc is on alpha meshes. Those are fine and good! But I feel like elder sims need to be dressed in ‘bulkier’ stuff. It just makes sense to me. There’s tons of older elder CC that I see and like the idea of, but it’s painted on a mesh that is little more than the base EF/EM body shape on top. Idk, skintight sweaters on grandma or grandpa just kind of give me the willies. 😵‍💫 It’s not realistic either.

Plenty of elder cc is also Maxis match. Perfectly fine! Love those shapes way more. There are lots and lots of age conversions that look great on elders. But, I feel like our elders deserve more than a copy and paste of what we already have on offer for adult sims. So, I retexture those age conversions. The clothes just need to be stuffier, with more mature colors and patterns. Just, have more of a mature “vibe”.

On a more tinfoil hat note (lol), I think some simmers do not like to play elders at all, and that has everything to do with fearing age itself. And not having a worthy selection of clothes for them, that too. 😂

But I mean, there are mods to skip elderhood entirely. And a clothing mod to make elders have the standard AF chest instead of a sagging one exists, and that has existed forever. It’s like one of the oldest mods out there! And a mod to make them not have the “elder” walk. All things to make them less “oldpersony”.

Elders are thought of as being boring or unimportant sims, something to avoid, unappealing. I think that says way more about how people feel about aging themselves. But I think it’s much more freeing to embrace and enjoy a stage of life that I’ll face myself.

TL;DR: thank you

And let me know who I should look to next for style inspiration. I’ve already gained inspirash from: the Golden Girls, the oracle from the matrix, Eartha Kitt as madame Zeroni in Holes, probably anything Stevie Nicks has worn recently, anything Judi Dench has worn as M in the Bond movies, André Leon Talley (rip), Sag Harbor, Eddie Bauer and Squaw Valley sweaters and long skirts from the 90’s, what Diane Keaton is wearing in any movie, any era, Guinan from Star Trek: Next Gen (slay, the colors especially), thinking if it would look good on current day Jane Seymour then go for it, my friend whose mom is a high school art teacher, a sprinkle of Mrs. Doubtfire, a sprinkle of Miranda Priestly, and of course, anything Prue Leith wears.

Random KiriBaku AU's cause that's the ship my ADHD brain is hyper fixating on

Tangled. Have you SEEN the fanart??? I don't know which is funnier: Rapunzel Katsuki yelling at Pascal Izuku about random shit or Eugene Katsuki constantly bickering with Max Shouto/Iida. Either way, we get a (somewhat) wholesome Eijirou.

Zootopia. I KNOW WHAT YALL BE THINKING BUT LISTEN!!! Katsuki as Nick and Eijirou as Judy. "Sly fox, dumb bunny." "I am not a dumb bunny." "Right, and that's not wet cement."

Wall-E. Just imagine a curious, scrappy, little Eijirou robot marvelling the stoic, sleek, business focussed Katsuki.

Grease. IMAGINE EIJIROU, DENKI, AND SERO AS GREASERRRSSSSS!!! JIROU, MINA, HAGAKURE, TOGA, AND KENDO AS THE PINK LADIESSSSS!!! EIJIROU AND KATSUKI SINGING SUMMER LOVING WILL FOREVER ROT IN MY BRAIN!!!

The Dark Secret of Zootopia? (Part 1, Identifying the Problem)

What? If you're a fan, you already know Zootopia's "secret."

It was originally a dark dystopia where the predators wore "tame collars," but the Zootopia team got nervous about how depressing it was and did a last-minute rewrite that used most of the old assets and plot points! Right? So are we gonna do a deep dive on that?

Not quite.

What if I told you that despite the rewrite that took out the obvious metaphor for systemic oppression, more evidence of systemic issues remains and... it probably doesn't make any difference?

So that half-assed poll I put up suggests more than one person would like to see me take Zootopia apart, and that probably means delving into the racism metaphor, but, man, I don't have the headspace for that today! So I took a spin through the Headscratchers page, hoping to find something a little more compact. There had to be something other than the racism metaphor that a lot of people had trouble with, right? Sort of an appetizer for a busy Tuesday?

Nnnot really.

Here's an obvious Libertarian voter who can't fathom that people would be racist when it runs contrary to good business practices! We go through quite a few tropers positing non-racist or less racist reasons to refuse Nick service - including one who believes prejudice against predators "wasn't a thing" until Judy's press conference, and before that people just didn't like foxes - before some hero arrives with a fire extinguisher and says, I'm paraphrasing, "Racism isn't rational! End of story!"

Then we got this question, which has the answer contained in it already!

I've trimmed the first response, from someone who apparently sees nothing wrong with just rolling up and asking to pet a sentient being. "It doesn't have to be a metaphor for anything"!? They go on to posit that maybe it's a taboo in funny animal society. 'Cos, you know, you don't have to read Zootopia as a metaphor for human society if you don't wanna.

(The Author! He's already dead! Why you gotta desecrate the corpse like that?)

It takes a few more self-soothing responses from evident people-petters before, again, someone rolls up and says, "It is exactly white people wanting to 'pet' black people's 'weird' hair, something that is unfortunately a fairly common patronizing occurrence in the U.S., at least."

And after that, we still get this:

"I have a Black friend and he lets me pet him all the time! Cut white people some slack! They're just curious! Let us pet you!"

Zootopia is racism lite, folks. Zootopia calls out racism primarily as something an individual does when they make decisions based on their preexisting biases - which, in Nick and Judy's cases, stem from childhood traumas that we get to see on-screen.

This is a version of racism that a child - with a little hand-holding from a caregiver - could understand. All but the most toxic conservatives ought to be okay explaining this kind of racism, including the toxic neoliberal centrists! "You see, little Kayden, there is no such thing as 'society.' 'Racism' is what happens when a lot of individuals make bad decisions. All you have to do to stop it is make better decisions, and encourage others to make better decisions too! Why, when I was your age, we chose better hairsprays without CFCs in them, and that fixed global warming and the hole in the ozone layer forever!"

"Auntie Margaret Thatcher, isn't climate change still a..."

"WE FIXED IT FOREVER, LITTLE KAYDEN." *strained smile* "So just don't buy fox spray! If enough people don't buy it, they'll stop making it."

"Why is it okay for someone to make a spray specifically to hurt foxes in the first place?"

"...If you don't stop asking questions, I shall bury you under the Aberfan coal tip with all the rest, little Kayden. Eat your popcorn."

But even that's too much for some folks! They retreat behind the ambiguity of the metaphor and wonder why the funny animals make such odd decisions, in the willful absence of context. With no context, why would a bunny be able to say, "It's okay if we call each other 'cute,' but you shouldn't." That's blatant hypocrisy. Bunnies don't own "cute." It's just a word!

Don't apologize, Benjamin! Why would you do that?

This entire movie is a modern Aesop fable and you need that human context. "Cute" privilege to "n-word" privilege is a one-to-one correlation, like petting a sheep is to petting a Black person. It only makes sense because you live in human society and you can fill in the blanks - because you have seen similar manifestations of bias and you already know they're not okay. You don't even have to know why or agree. To get the joke, you just have to know this stuff happens and people think it's rude. That is not a high bar to clear!

And that is, apparently, the level of anxiety we have about unpacking our own racism. Not even the systemic kind. Not even the big issues those scary "woke" zombies are trying to "cancel" you about. Just, "An individual - including you, for you are an individual - can make bad decisions based on their experiences."

Whaaaat? No I don't!

"These animals have nothing to do with me and therefore, this movie makes no sense."

These are the people Zootopia needed to reach. Not the ones who already had a clue, the ones who were so scared of getting one that they buried their heads in the sand and refused to acknowledge reality itself. So here's a cheerful little film with an animal metaphor and an optimistic resolution! Surely they must feel safe enough to unpack racism in this context?

But they didn't. Much like Green Book, this film was safe and simple enough to walk away with an Oscar from an Academy that's mostly white, male, and terrified of minorities - and the people who didn't want to get "woke" slept right through it. I don't think that's what they were going for, given that V 1 of this film had systemic oppression worn around the neck of every predator with a blinking light on it.

Remember, they reused assets and plot points from the original and rewrote everything fast. Traces remain. But if the ostriches in the audience can't understand "cute" privileges, do they have any hope of noticing Judy's bathroom at the police academy has a toilet that can kill her and no accommodations for a species her size?

Well, they might have. But the way the film handles it gleefully assassinates everyone's chance to see the systemic issues and respond to them appropriately.

Tune in next time, for Judy Hopps, bunny cops, "Black Excellence" and our old friend Barack!

My Favorite Retro Hedgehog Girl Media

Friend to and influenced by the Teenage Girl in her Twenties, on-and-off dating The Burnt Out Gifted Kid, and younger sister to The Frazzled English Woman, The Retro Hedgehog Girl feels she's too soft to live in this world, and that too much has happened already and that it's too late now. She's just another lost, directionless, broke twentysomething with a million passions who couldn't imagine picking one thing to do every single day for the next 50 years. She doesn't know where all her time goes. She desperately wants to change, but doesn't know how.

She's the perfect example of the hedgehog's dilemma. She's well aware of her self-destructive tendencies, but feels can't find a way to move past them. She's lonely but pushes people away. She loves fiercely but doesn't know how to express it. She does her best to be honest but her words never come out like she meant them. She doesn't feel at home around anyone. She doesn't know what to say when people ask her questions about herself. She's self-centered and sees everything as a personal attack. Sometimes she picks fights with people she cares about, though she doesn't know why. She's prideful, irritable, and has a quick temper. She lashes out when she feels hurt or abandoned or insecure and immediately regrets it but doesn't know how to fix it.

During the week, she lives in secondhand loafers and wrap dresses, and, in the bitter winters, always wears the same worn but reliable, hand-me-down, old-fashioned coat inherited from an estranged relative. When she doesn't have work, she wears jeans, an oversize sweater and the converse she's had since high school. She sometimes romanticizes her life by poking fun at the way she always spends her dead-end, minimum wage job's paycheck on things she doesn't need, but she knows she has a real problem. She loves to shop so she has an excuse to leave her house and be around other people without it being too obvious.

She craves excitement and passion and experiences, she wants to go everywhere and do everything and be everyone. She dreads the though of living a quite life forever. She's terrified of spending the rest of her life feeling this way. She wants to be okay on her own, but thinks its impossible.

The movies and T.V. shows she watches over and over. She seeks out characters that she can relate to:

Girls

Search Party

Shrill

My Mad Fat Diary

Fleabag

I Am Not Okay With This and The End of the Fucking World

In My Skin

Extraordinary

Normal People

Pure

Emily the Criminal

Some Freaks

Winter's Bone

Lady Bird and Frances Ha

The Lure

Speak

Amelie

Jamie Marks is Dead

Pretty in Pink

Yes, God, Yes

On the Edge

True Things

Secretary

I'm Your Man

The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner

A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby

The songs that used to make her dance like she was possessed or cry like she'd never stop but have lost their power through overuse. She wants to branch out more and find new music, but she just can't get really, really excited about anything like she used to anymore:

Johnny Knoxville’s Valentine, Hasan Piker’s Beyblade

Johnny Knoxville X Reader

Anonymous Request - "Hi! Love your stuff so far! So this might be a little specific, but I know you'll make it work, Sam!

Okay, Y/N is an interviewer for the Jackass Forever premiere, but she's late, and Johnny finds her after and asks her to be his Valentine. Also maybe some history with Hasan Piker? Maybe she used to be Y/N's ex? You do the magic! Thanks a bunch!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

February 14th, 5:07 am Your eyes opened to the sun peering through your shades. You stretched, a big stretch, your bones cracking abnormally.

"Man, I should see a chiro today," you thought.

But then it hit you - it's today. Today was the day. Today had been just that - the day. It's the day. It was finally here, and no matter how much you dreaded it - there was nothing you could do.

"One more, oh, just one more and that's it! You're done. Through. No more of this corporate capitalism bullshit!"

Hasan taught you well. You smile just thinking of him, his thumbs. You missed him. After that night, it's been weird - the feeling of someone you were so used to, so closed to- just gone. You remember it like it happened only the night before.....

You and Hasan, your boyfriend of almost a year, lying down on your couch watching Zootopia. You loved that movie, maybe too much. He thought you had a "genuine problem", as he would call it, with your obsession to the animated furry film.

But, more specifically, Nick Wilde.

"It's not normal! He's a fox, dude," he would say. But you knew better. He was more than that. He's Jason. Jason Bateman.

Anyway, the scene came on with the main character, Judy, putting on her little police uniform. You loved this part, she looks so happy. You saw a little of of her happiness in, well, you.

"She looks so cute in her costume," you exclaimed, chomping on your soggy McDonalds fries, "she'd be a cute little officer. Just like Lil Wayne's song. Don't you think? -"

And just like that - you didn't even recognize him.

"You think she's cute? A cop? A bunny cop? That's much, dude. Actually, that's fucking disgusting," he rose, livid, his 6'7" body shadowing over you.

"Is this how Judy sees the world?" you thought. "Is this how she sees Nick? Sees Jason?"

"I can't believe you'd say that," he continued.

At this point, you paused, in shock - it was only a bunny, after all. You pressed pause on the remote, the movies gonna have to wait.

"Babe, calm down," you tried, mouth full of those soggy McDonalds fries, "It's just a Disney movie. You know, Walt Disney? I don't love cops, just like you I hate them, but I just think-"

And in the blink of an eye, he pimp-slapped the dangling fries from your mouth, so hard they broke through the window, like shrapnel. You couldn't believe it - he hit you.

Well, not you, just those dangling soggy fries. He couldn't understand you with a mouth full of soggy fries that were dangling. Or maybe he hated McDonalds?

You were so stunned, you couldn't move.

"He hit me..." you thought. "Well, not me, but the fries."

He continued "You're a bootlicker! That's why you like to be called 'bunker slut'? Huh? Tell me!"

His 6'10" body still towered over you. You had to admit, you found it kinda hot, but he surely didn't. In fact, he was outraged.

He grabbed your face and spat, "You're just a bunker slut who likes cops - bunny cops. You support the conglomerate that is Disney, who attempts to push the narrative of not all cops being bad to children. You know I hate that narrative - don't you even watch my streams?! My eight hour streams?!"

He was in your face now, his breathe reeking of the soda he always drinks. Maybe diet Mountain Dew?

You felt horrible, but felt butterflies in your stomach - you had to admit, again, it was kinda hot. But not now, not now!

"That's it! I can't even look at you, dude! You're disgusting! You're vile!"

And then, when you think it couldn't have gone any worse - he brought you closer, his mouth to your ear, and whispered,

"Nick Wilde was almost pepper sprayed by that cute bunny you like - he could've been a victim."

You were then launched out the window by your hair, and the last thing you heard come out from your boyfriend's mouth as he threw you was

"Beyblade - let it rip".

Then, it all went BLACK...

But never mind that. Today is the day. The Jackass Forever premiere. It was a new day, new you. A different you, perhaps. Though same apartment, same broken window you never fixed, it's all a fresh start.

"I'm not a negative Nancy, and I am not a Debby downer! I'm just, well....I'm just Linda Litzke!"

You rose from your bed, put on your robe and went into your kitchen to begin breakfast. The sky looked beautiful through the window, flies and other bugs crawling through the opening in the glass, eating the leftover $5 wednesday sushi from last night. Though there were no Publixes on the west coast, and certainly not Los Angeles, you made it a point to fly over back home to Miami every Wednesday, because $5 Wednesday sushi is just too good of a deal to pass, after all. Not your fault inflation exists.

Hasan taught you what that word meant too....

"Oh well, I'll clean it later", you said, snapping back into reality.

The smell of coffee lifted up your spirits even more as it brewed, and once it finished, you reached over, poured a glass and had you white mother moment - hugging yourself in your robe with the cup of coffee being sipped in your hand, looking out sunny Los Angeles. The land of opportunity.

You started to reminisce on that one t-shirt you used to have. In big, block letters it spelled -

ALL I NEED IS... COFFEE✔️ WIFI✔️ MY BED✔️

Oh, you missed that shirt.

Then, your phone call buzzed you out of your trance. it scared you so much in fact, you threw your coffee out the window.

"Again?!" You yelled. First the fries, then you, and now the 10 dollar Starbucks coffee from the Starbucks bean bag from Starbucks?

Rummaging through your couch, threw bits of crumbs and dusty hair ties - you got the phone. It was your boss.

"Awe, he's wishing me good luck!" You thought. Oh, how you were wrong.

"Y/N! Where the FUCK ARE YOU?!" He screamed.

"Omg hey, I just woke up? Why? What's up?" You smiled. He sounded pumped to hear from you.

"What do you mean you just woke up you fucking moron?! It's fucking five in the afternoon! Your stupid bone-cracking ass was supposed to be here two hours ago! I've been calling since 3! The premiere's starting in twenty fucking minutes! This is why Andrew fucking Tate is the motherfucking goat! W Tate! Cause women can't function outside of their kitchen!" And just like that, he hung up.

Your heart fell - everything slowed. Taking a double check to the clock - it wasn't 5 am, it really was 5 pm.

Like taking a hit of methanphetamine, you bolted. You put your hair in a messy bun, threw on your Forever 21 dress that you got at H&M, and bolted out the door.

You cursed yourself, you didn't have a car, so you just began to do what you know best - run.

You ran, as fast as you can run, the faster you ever ran, you ran. One thing the DMV can't deny, you didn't need a learners permit to run.

Passing through the crowded streets, running in front of oncoming traffic - you just ran. The sun beamed down harshly,

"Man fuck LA" you thought.

And then you saw it - the Chinese Theater - you pushed through and through the crowd, you went under the VIP belt looking desperately for your boss. All the commotion and body heat made you feel claustrophobic. You felt everything close in, your breathe tighten. Where was your boss? Where are your co-workers? And most importantly - where are my shoes?

You look down at your patas, and that would've been enough to take you out. The were dirty from all the running when you were running. Two words came in mind.

Dirty. Dogs.

"Those dogs....theyre.... dirty," you whip around and your eyes needed a moment to adjust - but you couldn't believe it. You've seen him everywhere, all the time, you just couldn't believe it was him. You breathe shortened even more, no, it can't be! You hear his raspy, southern voice all the time, but now, you realize, he's right in front of you. His silver fox hair stood up so straight like he got electrocuted, as if it were for some stunt he was so familiar with. His big glasses sat at the top of his nose.

It's your boss.

He grabs you by your messy bun and yells in your face, in a voice resembling Chucky.

"NO. MESSY. BUNS!"

He picks you up and begins swinging you like a helicopter - round and round. And just like Hasan, he whispers

"let it rip"

and swings you against the wall. The air lets out, and you're dizzy. He threw you ways away. You open your eyes, but instead of soggy McDonalds French fries on the parking lot floor beside you... it's a lot softer.

Its a red carpet.

THE red carpet.

It's silent. Your bones hurt. That Chiro. You needed him.

Suddenly, you see a hand come towards you. Who ever it is, they ask

"are you okay, pudding?"

Like when a veteran hearing sirens, your eyes flutter wide open. The silver.....its so familiar. The glasses....

"Hey, are you okay? That was one gnarly stunt you just did!"

Then, you hear who you swear is Whoopi Goldberg (its Steve o ).

"Get her up, she's bleeding she's hurt."

You rise and again - everything went BLACK.

Your eyes flutter open again, this time, no sun peering through the curtains. Instead your inside someone's house.

"Hey, sweetheart. How you feeling?"

You turn over and again...the silver the glasses oh my god is Philip Clapp. You jump up, embarrassed.

"Oh my god, what happened?"

He tries to calm you down, "Hey hey hey, its okay. Relax" Now you feel relaxed.

"Oh my god, the premiere!"

"Don't worry about that! Its all over youre safe."

"Thanks Johnny, honestly. Is this your home?"

He looks around trying to be modest, but he kinda starts to drift off. This must be that CTE you've been hearing all about.

"Hello, Johnny?" You snap in his face. He comes back .

"Yeah yeah sorry, yeah its my house. Say, do you have a valentine's?"

You feel your rosacea arise in your cheeks.

"No, no why do you ask?"

"Well because, I wanted to know, if you would be my valentine? Its February 14th."

"Oh my god, well, yeah of course!" You jump up to hug him, he hugs tightly back, he then throws you on the bed and you feel his member pressed against your leg. He begins kissing you, his tongue licking your lips for entrance. You let him in. Your tongues fight for dominance but you let him win. He eventually starts going down on you, taking your forever 21 dress that you got at H&M off, and starts kissing your labia.

"This...this is a labia" he says.

You lift your legs as he begins to eat you out, his wet breathe on your cooter. He holds your foot up and raises himself, ready to press his member intro your entrance. Your eyes are closed, ready to take the boy from Tennessee in. This is it. No boss, no Hasan, no job, nothing - just you and Philip.

"Your...dogs"

"Sorry?" You say "I have no dogs-"

"Your - DOGS" he flings your leg away like its radioactive and it's Chernobyl.

You look at your dogs - theyre dirty - still dirty from all the running in LA. "Your dogs...theyre infected...."

"No Johnny, wait, please I was late to the premiere and I had to run -"

He raises and adjusts himself.

"Im sorry Y/N, I don't wanna be a negative Nancy or Debby downer but - I can't be with a broad with LA sidewalk feet. It's just not good for my public image. Im number one on WikiFeet. How am I gonna be number one with a girl with-" he gulped " those feet".

"Johnny! Please wait! I just need a little pedicure please - "

"I'm sorry. I can no longer be your valentine."

He gets his phone and dials a number while fixing his pants. He spits on the floor. At first you thought it was chewing tabacco, because he's from the south, but upon closer inspection it was shards of McDonalds fries and rice from the sushi earlier. You forgot, your rare disease (Klein's, as unofficially diagnosed by your Canadian bff Nathan Fielder) makes you shit out of your vagina instead of your ass

"You should've told him", you thought.

"Yeah hi, is Jason there? Yeah I need to speak to him. Yeah, okay. Yeah ill wait a sec. Oh hey Jason, you wanna be my valentine? Oh that's great! Yes, ill be there now! How's Nobu? Yes! Im stepping out the door as we speak" Johnny runs out of your room, like a bomb just dropped behind him. You being the bomb.

You scream, "but Johnny - we'll have breakfast! Ill make you breakfast! Like pancakes, eggs and bacon-"

Then, boom.

The house blows up. Bacon. Bacon was the last thing you ever spoke to Johnny, the last thing you ever said, period, as he ran out to Nobu to meet Jason Bateman for his Valentine's date.

Hope you enjoyed! xoxo, ~Sam St. Clair

Playlist Meme

Thank you @civilization-illstayrighthere for the tag here! I really liked your songs and how you fit them with your V, and with Night City overall. I'll do the same as you did and look at the the two different versions of V I write. I always attach songs to my fic anyway and make 1000 playlists for every fic and character, I guess that's old fashioned?? But I've alwayyys done that.

Tryin' to be a hero, winding up a zero, Can scar a man forever right down to your soul.

My streetkid V is a worst-case-scenario everything's probably going to go to shit, plan for the worst don't hope for the best kind of guy. He sees the bad in NC, sees how the search for glory ruined Jackie, but, like Kerry, is rooted down to the ground and won't ever leave. I haven't actually seen this season that the song is from, but it fits V's disillusion. The things he's done, the mistakes he's made, he doesn't have time to figure out how to make up for it all when here is his own mortality, coming faster and faster.

No lights on the horizon, no sign of what's ahead If it wasn't for your kindness lately I'd never get out of bed

His feelings for Kerry are confused, really tangled up with how Johnny, inside V's head, feels for him. Here, Johnny and Kerry were never a real thing, but Kerry had feelings that were never addressed. What my V and Kerry find in each other is kindness that works both ways, despite all their personal flaws and past struggles. So there is hope, even with all the uncertainty in the future.

All of my old friends aren't so friendly And all of my old haunts are now haunting me

My fem V grew up nomad, and is trying to come to terms with returning to the nomad life after being in Night City for so long. For her, NC is poisonous, she can hardly even go back to visit, can hardly even talk to her old friends there. She gets from Judy the view that the only way to move on is to escape. She struggles to let go of the past and at the same time aggressively distances herself from it.

Can you distract me from all the disaster? Can you touch on me and not call me after? Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter? Can you lead me to the ark what's the password?

I feel like the core of her is the need for connection, her loneliness but difficulty in taking that step across and being really vulnerable. She relies on herself and defaults to self-protection. That's what she has to overcome to resolve things with Judy.

A few tags if anyone wants to do this with anything, whatever fandom, OCs, WIPs, your HCs of characters, whatever you like no pressure, sorry if this is something you've already done! <3 @moderndaycirce @miniature-space-hamster @timaeusterrored @morganlefaye79 @jaymber + anyone else who wants to do it and sees this tag me I'd love to see your music!

[sinful-roxy]

People keep asking me why I do things that I do In all of this measuring influence I forgot you You and me hiding behind the Monhegan Hotel And you told me things that nobody around me would tell That was the summer when everyone touched me at once One day they ignored me The next, they were all down my pants But you were in bed with me, safe, before anyone else You opened beside me And held me when I needed help You and me lying together at night in my room You've been inside me forever, Judy Blume I couldn't carry a tune but I thought I could sing No one had told me that thoughts were a good or bad thing But I started noticing grown-ups would smile and cringe You taught me that you could say anything you could think I don't remember my friends from gymnastics class But I remember when Deenie was at the school Dance, Buddy feeling her up in the locker room Margaret, bored, counting hats in the synagogue Davey was stirring the tea that she wouldn't drink Tony was watching his so-called friend shoplifting All of them lived in my head, quietly whispering You are not so strange I don't remember the details of seventh grade All I remember is lying and being afraid But I don't forget Katherine and Michael were going all the way Steph on the scale in the bathroom alone that day Karen pretending to puke so her dad would stay Margaret arguing with God while she masturbated All of them mixed up in my head like a love letter All of those saying: Amanda you know better You are not to blame The world's a frightening place So go on and think how you want You will not be alone with your thoughts Well you will, but you won't in a way 'Cause a girl thought it too in a book that the library bought

People will keep asking me why I do things like I do And from now on I'll tell them Nick Cave and I'll talk about you Judy, I can't believe sometimes that I'm an adult And the girls like I was think that I have this shit figured out You and me lying together at night in my room You'll be inside them forever, Judy Blume

One week after Megan Thee Stallion issued a public plea for people to "stop using [her] shooting for clout," the Southern Black Girls & Women's Consortium shared an open letter of support for the rapper denouncing violence against women and praising her bravery.

Megan, 27, was allegedly shot in the foot by singer Tory Lanez, 30, in July 2020, and he was charged that October with two felony counts. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.

In the years since, she has been forced to face critics who support Lanez, and in June, said she felt as though she had become "the villain" in the situation.

In the Consortium's letter, which was shared on Thursday, more than two dozen signees including #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, Congresswomen Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee, activist Tamika Mallory and Angela Rye joined forces to offer their vocal support of the star, who partnered with the Consortium on the inaugural Joy Is Our Journey tour in August.

The letter is addressed to the "Plan B" rapper, and begins by praising her meteoric rise to fame and continued success, which make her an "inspiration" to "women all over the world."

"You're a special kind of talent and a special kind of person; the place you hold in your fans' hearts is a testament to that," the letter says. "As you've risen to the top, you've also had to endure a lot of obstacles along the way. In the face of triumph and tragedy alike, you always keep your head held high, maintain your poise and push forward."

Still, it goes on to acknowledge that the Grammy-winning star has "been treated in ways that no young woman—no person at all—should be treated. It must be said that our culture has failed you, one of its most brightly shining daughters."

Though Megan has repeatedly labeled Lanez an "abuser," she's had to endure many people in the industry supporting him. Earlier this month, Drake appeared to accuse her of making up the shooting in the lyrics to his song "Circo Loco."

"And when the mf facts come out remember y'all hoe ass favorite rappers that stood behind a N— that SHOT A FEMALE," Megan replied on Twitter. "People attack me y'all go up for it , i defend myself now I'm doing too much … every time it never ends and this did NOT happen until I came out and said I got shot … y'all don't [f— with me] okay cool f— it bye."

The letter calls out the "public harassment and taunting" Megan received from Lanez and his supporters, and says she's "consistently been clear about what happened" to her, but has not received the support she should.

"You don't deserve any of this, Megan," it reads. "You deserve to be heard, to be believed, and most importantly, to be safe."

The letter continues with a more general plea to continue supporting and believing victims of domestic violence, particularly Black women, who the letter says are often "fearful of what will happen to their assailant if they choose to involve the law… and are left unprotected by the system and the community alike."

Megan has said that she was shot by Lanez, whom she considered a friend, after an argument broke out between her, her friend and Lanez as they drove home from a poolside get-together at Kylie Jenner's house.

An LAPD detective testified at a preliminary hearing in December that Lanez shouted "Dance, bitch!" before shooting.

The "Luv" singer was charged in October 2020 with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal use of a firearm, and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. He pleaded not guilty to both charges in November 2020.

Lanez was ordered to house arrest and electronic monitoring in October, and will reportedly stay monitored through the scheduled start of his trial on Nov. 28.

Read the Consortium's letter in full below.

Dear Megan,

You are larger than life in many ways; your name is in lights, your face on billboards, your songs in the history books…and this is still just the beginning of your story. In a very short amount of time, you've achieved success probably beyond your wildest dreams, and it seems that each day brings a new announcement about something amazing you've done or are preparing to do. Women all over the world consider you an inspiration, in part because you make them feel good about themselves. You're a special kind of talent and a special kind of person; the place you hold in your fans' hearts is a testament to that.

As you've risen to the top, you've also had to endure a lot of obstacles along the way. In the face of triumph and tragedy alike, you always keep your head held high, maintain your poise, and push forward. However, while so many of us celebrate you for your strength and perseverance, it must be said that you have been treated in ways that no young woman–no person at all–should be treated.

It must be said that our culture has failed you, one of its most brightly shining daughters. In July of 2020, you experienced a violation of the highest order at the hands of someone whom you considered a friend. Since then, you've had to endure public harassment and taunting not only from that person but from others choosing to stand with him. Bloggers have circulated rumors and excitedly reported on the most traumatic experience of your life as if it were juicy gossip, often perpetuating the idea that you've got a reason to lie, that you shouldn't be believed. You've consistently been clear about what happened to you, but instead of being met with widespread support, people who should have had your back have chosen to stay out of the matter.

You don't deserve any of this, Megan. You deserve to be heard, to be believed, and most importantly, to be safe.

There is no amount of power or prestige that can prevent a woman from becoming a victim of violence and there is no level of achievement that exempts women from our society's complacency with that violence.

You may be a boss, the "hot girl coach," and a bonafide superstar, but that doesn't mean that you don't experience pain. No one is too 'bad,' too famous, too powerful to feel hurt. You've had to navigate this deeply difficult experience in the public eye, and while you've managed to stand strong and to keep showing up to work in spite of it all, it can't be understated how unfair it is that you're in this position to begin with.

Violence against women is still entirely too common and acceptable in our world. We make excuse after excuse to explain away even the most heinous acts, especially when the person accused is a celebrity of any sort. Being a celebrity, however, will not guarantee a woman any sympathy when she is a victim.

Black women are also often fearful of what will happen to their assailant if they choose to involve the law–as you yourself were afraid to do–and are left unprotected by the system and the community alike. If someone as influential as you can be belittled and mocked as nothing but a liar for standing up for herself, that speaks a volume about what a woman who doesn't have your resources or fame can expect to endure when she's found herself in a similar position.

An estimated one in three women worldwide has been the victim of sexual and/or domestic violence. Here in the United States, the numbers are higher for Black women, who also experience psychological abuse–such as humiliation, name-calling, and insults–at an increased rate. Women of all races, cis and trans, are suffering daily and we're all too complacent. From day one, you deserved a chorus of voices saying, "We believe you, Megan," and though you may not have been able to hear us sooner, know that we are with you now and every step of the way as you continue to heal from this tragedy. We are committed to making the world safer for you and all women, and one of the important steps that we must take to get there is to make it so that women who have been victims of violence can speak about their experiences without being attacked or dismissed.

You've been so strong, Megan, but that's not what we should demand nor expect from you. You deserve the space to cry, mourn and heal as you see fit without having to worry about being judged for having a human reaction to a personal tragedy.

Even in the midst of your own traumatic experience and healing, you recognized that other girls needed to experience joy and partnered with Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium on the inaugural Joy Is Our Journey tour impacting thousands of girls across the south. You have remained committed to the focus of mental health and well being in our community even when your own has been minimized, marginalized, and deemphasized. We want you to know that you are important and you matter to us and to millions of women around the globe. Your life matters. Your work matters. Your joy matters. You deserve joy. We stand with you.

We salute you for the bravery it has taken to defend yourself in the court of public opinion, though you shouldn't have had to do so at all. We raise our voices against those who have made light of this heinous example of violence against women and will drown them out with our demands for society to take what happens to Black women seriously. You are not alone. You are believed, loved, and supported.

We stand with you Megan.
