Character Vision Board

All the groups were seated in their respective recording areas, and in front of them was a TV, where all the crews were about to be introduced.

When every crew watched, everyone felt the exciting atmosphere really come to life. The vibes heightened once more as Jam Republic was introduced.

Jam Republic decided to send a team that would represent other women worldwide. Choosing the members Kristen Dodgen, Ling Zhang, Latrice Kabamba, Y/n Ramos, Emma Huch, and Audrey Lane.

Everyone checked out the information of each member, but everyone couldn't help but stare at Y/n's long list of achievements. You began as an underground dancer and competed in several competitions, winning about 95% of them, before entering the world of choreography.

Through several YouTube videos, you became well-known for your b-girling, house dance, and bone-breaking specialty. When continuing down the list, it showed the several artists you've worked with. Big names like Usher, Beyonce, Normani, Bruno Mars, and Ne-yo were just a few of those names.

You were the third youngest on the team, yet your triumphs showed your thorough background in the dance scene. At 23, you were known worldwide for your work and skills, even being popular amongst the general public.

They began to show some of your videos, and some dancers couldn't help but be in awe of you.

So when the day finally came, and everyone had to film together, the crews went in anticipating the impressive performances they'd get to see.

You and the girls entered the building with a bright energy and all smiles. "This is so exciting," Audrey squeals, and you pinch her cheek due to her adorableness. You made your way up the stairs. Linked arms with the youngest, with a similar vibe in your outfit choices.

The group makes their way to the hot pink room and waits for their call. As you wait, you check your outfit, rotating your body often and posing.

"You look amazing. Stop worrying so much," Latrice says as she pats your hip. "Dude, I'm just so pumped right now," You tell them with much adrenaline pumping through your veins as you jump every so often.

"Is anyone excited to meet a dancer?" Emma asks, chilling comfortably on the couch. Audrey says, "Definitely wanna see Tsubakill."

"Bebe is fire, though," Kristen tells the girls, and you nod.

"They have a youthful energy you wanna bounce to," you state, fond of the team full of younger dancers. When you sat with the rest of your girls, watching through every team's choreography, Bebe was the one that caught your attention. The filming of their crew preview video, the outfits, and the high teen energy sparked something in you. They looked like they enjoyed the dance and had terrific chemistry, which made you happy. You almost couldn't stop grinning as you watched them.

Before you can even continue the conversation, all of you get startled by the loud bass of the TV, signaling them to enter the fight zone. They began to walk out, and as Kristen led them through the corridor, they stopped at the entrance and looked amazed at the setup.

Making it down the stairs, everyone's eyes were on Jam Republic, and you couldn't help but roam your eyes around. You didn't make it that far because you couldn't look away as soon as you locked eyes with Bada Lee.

You give her a kind grin, and she gladly returns one.

Walking past some of the crews, you heard many whispers.

"Wha~ Kristen is really here."

"Their vibes are totally unmatched."

"Jam being here is actually crazy."

Everyone's eyes then linger on you and Audrey. Your pretty faces shocked many of them. Bada can only look at the two in astonishment, "Audrey and Y/n are so pretty."

Other comments like you two looking like princesses or angels could be heard through each crew's murmurs. Yet none of the Jam Republic girls were fazed.

You then watched the video that provided unwanted comments as you stood at the center. Most of the words targeted Kristen, but they sure left you and Audrey with a bitter taste in your mouths.

"Audrey is a baby. She can just sit there, look pretty, and do nothing."

"Many people praise Y/n's skills, but I believe most people watch her just to see her pretty face."

"I wanna say I'm proud that Y/n is famous as she's half Korean, but I feel we've been let down by her. She's lost her touch after a while."

Your eyebrows raise at the comment, and you can't help but sneer.

"Lost your touch?" Ling questions as the same confusion lingers in the mind of your entire crew. You chuckle a bit as you begin to see the no-respect stickers.

Kristen had two, while you and Audrey were evenly split with five. Audrey, who stood beside you, raised her two thumbs in happiness, and you gave her a high five. You understood what she was feeling right now. You two had mandatory battles to show your abilities.

"I don't really get it. You're one of the greatest battlers out there, and they decide to comment those things?" Emma whispers to you, but you smile, "I guess I'm just gonna have to prove them otherwise."

As you stay seated, paying attention to the announced judges and host, Audrey nudges you slightly, 'We're gonna kill it out there."

"You're damn right we are."

As you listened, your eyes traveled to your left, and you saw Bada, who was paying close attention. The younger girls on her team seemingly notice and whisper to her, causing Bada to look back at you with seduction.

You weren't one to back down either, so you focused on her, inviting the flirtatious look as you unconsciously bit your lower lip, unaware of how sensual it looks on Bada's end. Bada looks at you up and down, pleased by your reaction with a sly grin on her face, and returns to paying attention to Kang Daniel as he speaks.

"And now, what the hell was that?" Emma asks you playfully, and the girls can't help but turn their attention to you. "What? She's hot," you shrug, and they can't help but just laugh at you.

"Wait, who?" Kirsten asks, a little confused, and Emma just says, "Bada."

"I can't blame you, though," Emma comments, and you giggle, knowing how much of an effect Bada seemingly has on many of the women in the studio.

"Well, if you are done silently flirting, please pay attention," Latrice gives you a joking glare as you give her a mini salute.

Before battles commenced, everyone was told to get changed and be ready in 10 minutes.

You tell the girls to head out because you need to reply to someone's message, but suddenly, you hear a knock on your door.

"Come in," You say and see Bada's face peaking through the door. She smiles at you, "Am I interrupting you?"

"Oh, of course not. Please, come in and sit." You pat the seat right next to you, slightly adjusting your hat as you do so. You two sit down, and Bada introduces herself properly, "I'm Bada Lee of Bebe. I'm actually a fan of yours."

"That's so sweet. Well, Miss Bada, I'm Y/n Ramos," You shook each other's hands, "So, biggest and trendiest choreographer right now, huh?"

"I can say the same thing about you."

"I'm not too sure about that. Everyone on my TikTok was dancing to Rover, while I haven't seen many do my dances," you joke.

"It's because your choreos are advanced. I work in a world where the dance has to be a trend, so it appeals to the Kpop audience."

"I've noticed that in Kpop too. It's admirable, you know? Being able to have so many fans dance something you made."

You two loved the conversation's comfort, even teasing each other about wearing hats, but the moment was cut short as the staff began calling everyone back onto the set.

"Let's continue later?" Bada asks, and you nod as you approach the fight zone together. Both of your respective groups were teasing you two as soon as you took a seat.

As they began rolling the cameras, we headed straight into battles.

Redy of 1Million was called up first, and as she picks, she walks around, teasing to pick someone from Deep N Dap, but makes a fast 180 turn and chooses Bada instead.

"Redy, do you have anything to say to Bada?"

"I just don't respect you," She tells the taller girl right to the point.

"Not Redy, Soobin-ah, you're still an 8th grader to me," you gasp at the roast, and a light chuckle comes out. Ling looks at you confused and asks what happened and when you tell her the exact translation she audibly gasps, "That's gotta burn man."

"After hearing that back story, I'd be pissed at Bada too," you say, making her laugh. Redy began first, and while you watched, you felt it was a bit messy and failed to captivate you.

When it was Bada's turn, you watched her intensely. She grooved and taunted the younger girl, making her dance entertaining. You found yourself making a face of surprise, not expecting Bada to be so confident in battle as she was known to be an avid choreographer.

Nearing the end, you two make quick eye contact, and with a smirk, Bada takes a paper in her mouth and blows it in Redy's face. "That made her ten times hotter," you groaned, amazed, and Emma chuckles after hearing your statement, smacking your leg due to you being silly again.

You sat there, watching some of your teammates go up several times before you, making you itch to dance.

Audrey was the first in your crew to be called, even being chosen by two dancers immediately. You were never worried about your youngest, though. She had one of the most unique styles of dance in your eyes. Every move she made, you cheered or had faces of disgust, enjoying every move of Audrey's freestyle.

Then, you were on an emotional roller coaster on Kirsten's several turns. During these moments, you came to see who, from each crew, would be a formidable opponent to your team.

Emma then went on stage, and it was the loudest you cheered. Due to the similar specialties you and Emma had, you unconsciously hype her dance up with the same amount of energy. Bada watches you, adoring the faces you make each time your team is up.

She noticed everything about you: the side tilts your head did when Monika showed two team cards instead of one, the little tap your feet made when you got nervous about the winner of specific battles, your large jumps when you got hyped over a move. She was expecting you to be one of the calmer ones on your team, but after some thinking, it was probably because you were on the younger side of your team.

Bada knew well that when younger dancers worked in a team with older ones, their inner child came out much more often. You clearly had close relations with each of your members, appreciating everything about them, even when they lost.

Soon, it was the turn of Deep N Dap's Minny Park to choose her no-respect dancer.

"I choose Jam Republic's Y/n," You jumped off your seat, feeling more energized than ever. "Minny-nim, why did you pick Y/n as a no-respect dancer?"

"She's rusty, and I'm gonna prove that."

Many people enjoyed the laugh, and you responded, "Don't worry, I oiled up for the show." People go crazy at your clapback, and as you give Kristen your mic, the music begins for Minny.

"Let's go Minny!"

"Show her how it's done!"

The encouragement of her team gave Minny an impressive start. She starts by posing to the song's beats and looks at you with eyes of determination.

You watched very closely, staying calm and composed. That was the version of you that Bada expected. Seeing your new sides made her want to know you even more.

Minny was good, you'll give her that. She had a sassiness to her that carried the energy of her moves. She even added provoking dance moves which had you nodding your head occasionally. However, no matter how much credit you give her, you would provide her with a fight, and it would be a beat down.

"3! 2! 1! Switch!"

The music began to change, and you heard "Beggin'" by Madcon, which excited you. You said, "Perfect," telling yourself that you'd win with this song, no problem.

"Oh, she's gonna eat this song up," Latrice tells the crew, having pure faith in her best friend.

"Come on, Y/n!"

"Show them how battling is done, girl."

You start with grooving in the beginning, and as soon as you hear the first, 'I'm beggin' ~,' you give a pout as you kneel with praying arms to Minny. As the beat builds up, you smirk and hit a one-armed handstand freeze, then remove your arm quickly to do a small headspin.

You tutted, with some bone-breaking, and led into getting more in Minny's personal space. You see Bada's from your peripheral, whose jaw literally means dropped. You smirk and decide to give her more of a show.

Your hips rotated, and you swayed your ass to show more variety. As you drop to the floor dramatically on your knees, you grind your hips forward before going into a 1990 to Windmill. As the music subdues, you just end with a slight spin.

Everyone was already wild as it was, but they all gave you a standing ovation. Your face goes into a pout as it warms your heart.

"Judges, please reveal your votes," Kang Daniel signals, and you sigh in relief to see the 3 pink cards. Your team jumps and cheers excitedly for you as you bow at the 3 judges.

All the judges still stare at you in shock, and only Monika finds the words.

"I'm here to be as truthful as possible, and I can proudly say with my chest that battle was the most entertaining thing I've seen in a while. Minny, you are terrific, and if you picked anyone else in this room, you had a higher chance of winning. But Y/n is just on another planet."

Monika gets a bit passionate and decides to stand up, "As professional dancers, we know how difficult freestyling is. It's a completely different mind game than choreographing. Y/n tutted, b-boyed, did bone-breaking AND theatrics? If I could give you an award right now, I would." You bowed with your hand over your heart at the high praise and returned to your team.

Before returning, your eyes meet Bada's, whose face is still the same. You find it amusing, letting out a laugh with a wink, causing Bada to get all flustered.

After a few more battles, you were all given a 30-minute break, so after a bathroom break, you took advantage of the time and went to the lobby of the building, taking in the silence as you rested on the blue velvet chair.

You sip on your ice-cold water and observe your surroundings until you see the tall woman coming down the stairs, giving her a small wave.

"What're you doing down here?" She questions, taking a seat in the velvet chair right beside you. "I needed to get away from the noisiness. Besides, it's nice and cold down here."

"I can agree with that."

"I honestly need to know how you move like that when you dance."

You giggle at the older's comment, "A lot of training and stamina. I wasn't even that flexible back in the day. I stretched daily to get my body to where it's at now."

She only nods, appreciating the fact you shared your efforts with her to become a better dancer.

You two let the silence engulf you until Bada decides to get daring. "You were so hot out there."

Your eyebrow raises, and you smirk. "I'm hot? I could say the same about you, Miss Bada. Whenever I make eye contact with you, I can never look away until you do. It's like you've cast a spell on me," You lean closer to Bada.

She does the same, her eyes traveling to your lips and eyes, "Me? Spell? Maybe you did that to me?" Bada leans in closer, the tension between the two of you rising quickly, and now the two of you feel your breaths hitting your lips. "I don't think you understand what you do to me. You have my hands clammy, face heated, heart racing? I wanna know how you're doing this to me."

Staring at each other, you had an idea and gave Bada a little peck before running away into one of the empty rooms, giggling as you heard Bada gasp and chase after you.

As you got into the room, you tried to shut the door, but Bada beat you to it and was able to stick her foot in, causing the door to open. She comes in and closes the door softly behind her, and smirks, walking over to you.

"You're actually gonna be the death of me," Bada tells you, hooking her fingers around the waistband of your pants and pulling you into her. Leaning down, she pulls you into another much longer and loving kiss. Pulling away, her forehead still stays connected to yours.

"How about I take you out later tonight, Miss Ramos?"

You kiss her on the cheek with a cute smile, "I'd love that, Miss Lee."

Re- French Elections stuff

Yo, les gens qui désespèrent de la dernière fils de puterie de l'ignoble banquier.

SAMEDI, PARTOUT EN FRANCE S'ORGANISENT DES MANIFS ANTI RN.

Alors allez googler le nom de votre ville et les horaires de la manif de votre coin, et par pitié déplacez-vous. J'ose espérer qu'ils auront la cervelle de ne pas mettre ça aux mêmes horaires que la Pride. Touchons du bois.

Je n'ai malheureusement trouvé nulle part une liste pré-faite de tous les rendez-vous. Le site de la LFI a une section "créer/rejoindre un événement" avec une carte, où une partie des événements sont indiqués. Si la grande ville proche de chez vous n'est pas indiquée, googlez [nom de votre ville] manifestation 15 juin. UPDATE: LE SITE DE LA CGT A UNE CARTE DES RENDEZ-VOUS

Rameutez les darons les daronnes les frères les sœurs les potes les collègues les mutuals tout ce que vous pouvez traîner avec vous ! Beaucoup de gens (moi la première je juge pas, ok?) n'osent pas aller en manif seuls ! Lancer le sujet en demandant qui se sent d'y aller en groupe peut leur permettre de venir ! Si vous avez un véhicule, vous pourriez être la personne qui permet à d'autres de participer ! Et comme ça vous pouvez faire un déjeuner / un café / thé / etc de célébration/réconfort en fin de manif !

CONSEILS POUR CEUX QUI NE VONT PAS SOUVENT EN MANIF SOUS LE CUT

- chaussures confortables, vous allez piétiner au départ et puis marcher entre 30 minutes et 1h - Vérifiez la météo. Pensez à un chapeau ou un vêtement de pluie. Dans le doute vaut mieux l'avoir pour rien. - On est en été prenez une bouteille d'eau ! même si vous avez jamais soif vous pourriez vraiment aider un pote

- Au cas où prenez un truc sucré, genre barre chocolatée ou petit paquet de gateaux. Si quelqu'un commence à faire un malaise autour, ça peut être important. - En premiers soins : des pansements à cloques, du doliprane, si vous avez une articulation fragile pensez à une bande de support (chevillère, genouillère) dans le sac au cas où. C'est de la parano jusqu'au jour où vous en avez besoin.

HANDICAP - Vous pouvez TOTALEMENT venir avec des bouchons d'oreilles et un casque anti-bruit !! (Les orgas de manifs sont des boulets sur l'inclusion niveau bruit, mais c'est pas l'école personne va vous les confisquer !) - Les manifs marchent sur la route et je n'en ai jamais vu emprunter d'escaliers. Pour nos amis en fauteuil roulant. N'hésitez pas à contacter une asso/ un collectif d'orgas pour demander le parcours de la manif. - Vous pouvez venir, marcher ce que vous pouvez et quitter le cortège quand vous êtes fatigués. Ca aide de venir même si vous ne pouvez pas être là jusqu'à la fin. Personne ne vous jugera, ni même ne vous remarquera. Pensez à prévenir le groupe avec qui vous venez que c'est une possibilité et discutez à l'avance de ce qui sera fait dans ce cas, pour vous éviter le stress ou la gêne qui empêche de dire "j'ai besoin de m'arrêter". - évitez les panneaux fatigants à porter. Vous pouvez écrire vos slogans au marqueur indélébile sur un vieux T-shirt blanc ou clair, ça marche très bien et c'est plus confortable ! Et si vous ne savez pas quoi écrire, ne vous prenez pas la tête, votre présence aide même sans panneau.

LIMITER LES RISQUES D'EMBROUILLES - Les manifs qui rassemblent des syndicats mainstream et autres institutions nombreuses et blanches sont rarement attaquées par la police, en tout cas hors Paris. Ca n'empêche pas de suivre quelques conseils de bon sens. - Niveau sécurité, évitez la tête de cortège (tout devant) et la queue de cortège (tout tout derrière). - Quand la marche est terminée, si la foule se disperse, ne restez pas sur place. - SI UN GROUPE D’EXCITÉS SE METTENT A CRIER DES INCITATIONS A CASSER DES TRUCS ET/OU BIFURQUENT HORS DU TRAJET DE LA MANIF PRINCIPALE, NE LES SUIVEZ PAS. Les pseudo-casseurs infiltrés ou aux affiliations douteuses ça existe. Restez dans le cortège principal, ne cassez rien, ne taguez pas, c'est plus sûr quand on ne connaît pas les groupes locaux.

Ashley my love. I recently reread your masterlist, YOU ARE FANTASTIC. Just needed to shout that out =) I've got an idea for a story. Don't know if you like it but I give it a try, especially after discovering that Miles Teller is on your character List????? Omg yeah. Here it comes:

Miles and reader are best friends since for ever and always more than happy to film together. Her excitement is marred by a new regisseur who gives her instantly a bad feeling (guy is flirting with her, gives her creepy looks and stares whenever he gets the chance). The whole situation is getting worse when gets touchy and handsy and when he corners her when she's alone. The creep harasses her and even threatenes her that when she's not dating him or be more friendly to him he will end her career. Miles notices that there's a change in the behavior of his normally bubbly sunshine best friend. Got more details in my mind, but that doesn't mean that you have to use them in any way!!!!!! I imagine that Miles and her always sharing an apartment when they're together, so he notices her sleeping not well, hearing her having nightmares. But she always brushes him off. One day he finds her having a panic attack behind her trailer (the creep just touched her rough and claim her dating him)....yeah well I need some good angst, drama, some hurt and an protective Miles, a fluffy end mayhabs?!

Love ya girl, it would ne fantastic if you let me know if you like my idea

Not Yourself

Pairing: Miles Teller x FemReader

Warnings: 18+ due to heavier themes, mentions of SA, abuse, depression, language, control issues, gaslighting, fluff

Summary: Being best friends for a long time can be like wearing rose colored glasses, ignoring the fact that feelings can change, touches can become more, and love can evolve into an entirely different thing. Some people ignore these signs for their entire lives but when Miles notices you’re not the same bubbly girl anymore he discovers a sad truth and in the midst of it all he can’t deny how he feels about you any longer.

a/n: I've had this request for ages and I am so sorry, I am busy literally all of the time and try to keep up with my own series and requests all the time. plz enjoy now that it is finally here xx

Masterlist

It’s been three weeks. Three weeks since you stopped smiling as much, since you stopped looking him in the eye, since you stopped laughing at his jokes, since you stopped spending time with him, since you had a full night of sleep. He had heard you, crying, having nightmares, your sobs barely muffled by the door. He wished he could figure out when it all changed. Everything was fine. You both landed another project together, found a perfect apartment to use while filming, you had been so happy. It was the two of you against the world like always. Yet now it’s as if the sun didn’t shine and because of your broken smile the world couldn’t really thrive.

Being an actor in this industry was hard, you had heard the horror stories, yet you still took it on knowing you had your bestfriend by your side. From highschool plays until now you were continuing to face the craziness of this job head on. Luckily enough with him by your side, landing new projects together left and right. You figure you had gotten too comfortable, too blind with happiness to see the warning signs, too scared to say no when one of the producers had asked you on a date. You figured one date couldn't hurt, that you could just go and keep your job, make up an excuse to get out of a second date, but it was too late. You had let him in and now he held the power. He held more weight in the bustling world of show business and now his threats of debunking your career were enough to scare you silly.

It was supposed to be the fun part of the date, the walking you to the doorstep, pink cheeks hidden by the dark of the night and revealed in the glow of street lamps, a shy kiss shared under the porchlight. Instead it was a tight grip around your wrist, back pressed into the hard brick of the home, wide eyes, as he threatens to end your career if you don't date him. Then you finally realize all that flirting and staring he had done on set was more creepy and forceful than anything. Blood pulsing through your veins you agreed, a harsh and unwanted kiss forced upon your lips. You waited till he got in his car and left before breaking down in tears on the front steps. You had promised yourself you wouldn't be one of those Hollywood horror stories and yet here you were, blindsided, and completely alone. You couldn’t even tell Miles, the keeper to every secret and embarassing story in your life. Once you realized this you waited until the living room lights turned off before entering the home and hiding in your room so he couldn't see the heartbroken look on your face.

Now it had been three weeks of this torture. Unwarranted touching and kissing all over set and it was as if nobody noticed or they ignored it for their own benefit. That broke you more than anything. The only person to inquire about your change in demeanor your best friend Miles, but you denied him every time. Assuring him everything was okay even though it definitely wasn't. Your only safe place was your room at night, but the abuse had followed you into your dreams, nightmares startling you awake until you were too scared to fall sleep, tears taking place of sleep. So you learned to live with the pain, but the thing about holding everything in means it dulls the parts of you that shine brighter. It’s harder to smile when something so heavy sits on the weight of your shoulders. You just prayed nobody would really notice.

Opening your trailer door you were prepared to make it to set, thankful you were a good enough actor that your emotions hadn't tainted your performance. Least expected as always, the strong grip curled around your wrist, and practically tugged you off the trailer steps before pulling you around and out of sight of anyone passing by. Your heart instantly quickened and suddenly you were slammed against the cool metal of the trailer before his large hand wrapped around your ass. You let out a shaky breath due to the close proximity and he snarled in your face. Barring his teeth like a wild animal and you were instantly fear stricken, frozen in place, and prepared for more trauma to add to your plate. Another nightmare brewing just at the edge of your fingertips, not even your work place safe from the abuse.

"You look good today, just for me?" his hand squeezed tighter, heavy breaths landed on your face. Your stomach churned with disgust over his weird attraction towards you. "Bet you sat in that makeup chair, begging them to make you look good so I could have something to see"

His other hand finally let go of your wrist, wrapping around your neck, the coolness of his rings practically stinging you by the touch. You shuddered as his face closed in, warm mouth landing on your neck as he left wet kisses, devouring you like a meal in the worst way. You prayed it would be enough, that he would leave, but then his hand was gripping your chin, mouth landing againt your own, and tongue shoving inside your mouth despite how hard you tried to keep your lips closed. Tears burned at the back of your eyes but you knew not to let them fall, to not give him the satisfaction. After what felt like hours he finally let go, backing off with a sly smile on his face. Hiding your shuddering body he pointed in your direction.

"Keep that pretty little mouth shut" he sneered and then he was gone, leaving you behind the trailer in a broken heap, heart racing, and life ruined. Once you could no longer hear his footsteps you were on your knees, tears free falling as sobs raked your body. You couldn’t control it as the panic rushed through, anxiety closing your airways, as you tried to wrap your mind around what had just happened. Unexpected and harmful all the same. You were late for your scene, but as the panic attack set in you had no part of you that could care.

As for Miles he knew you'd never be late to a scene, you didn't want to be one of those dramatic Hollywood stars that let the fame get to your head. So when it had been ten minutes and you still weren't there the panic set in. He told the director he was off to find you and before he could protest Miles was out the door and running to your trailer. Without knocking he forced himself inside but you were not there, sighing he walked back out and that’s when he heard a cry. Just not any cry though, the same ones he had heard from your bedroom every night. Bending down he looked under the trailer to see you were behind it, a heap in the gravel as you cried your eyes out.

"Y/N!" he was around the trailer in a flash, dropping beside you as he cradled you in his arms. You cried against him, barely aware he was even there. He found tears seeping out of his own eyes as he tried to determine what was wrong with his best friend, his oldest friend, the girl he loved more than anything in the world.

"Miles" you finally cried, gripping onto him like he could disappear any second, and he found himself lifting his head, trying to calm his heart and he let it settle in that something was really really wrong.

"Y/N I want to help you but I need you to tell me what’s wrong" he finally said, pulling you close and rubbing a hand through your hair.

"I will, I promise, just not here. Please not hear, when we're home" you begged and he heard the desperation in your voice, the fear that strangled you from telling him the truth he needed three weeks ago.

"Okay, at home. You can tell me then, just please calm down" he cried and you nodded againt his chest, counting your breaths like you had practiced. He held you through it, silent as he allowed you support while you did what you needed to do. Finally you gave him a nod and he helped you to your feet. He wished you would tell the directors you were sick, that you’d do the scene tomorrow but he knew youd be mad that he suggested it so he walked you that direction anyway, wiping tears from his eyes and painting a fake smile on his face and he realized that's exactly what you had been doing the last three weeks.

After that you both had been jittery getting through the day. Finally the director called it and awkwardness enveloped you as you collected your things and headed towards Miles Bronco together. He did his best to keep silent as he drove you through the busy LA streets, driving towards the safe haven you both shared. Miles did his best to keep his mouth shut as he locked his car and unlocked the apartment door. You were very clealry distraught and he watched as you dumped your things on the kitchen counter, the weight of the world crushing you into the ground. So he moved towards the couch, very obviously leaving the seat open beside him for you to take and start explaining yourself. You knew not to fight it, you had made a promise, and you never broke a promise with Miles.

"I'm not taking anymore bullshit Y/N, I want the truth and all of it right now" he finally broke the silence as you took your seat beside him. Hugging a pillow to your chest, tears lined your eyes as you finally told him everything from the beginning. Miles did his best to not get angry and interrupt as you told your truth, the weight of the news much heavier than he expected.

"For three weeks, that's almost a whole month Y/N" guilt bloomed through your body and he pressed his head in his hands, trying to not let the anger consume him. Yet as he thought of how angry he was he was able to recognize the jealous pull. That some bastard got to kiss you without permission when he's been wanting to kiss you the way a real man should since college. He had never realized that he had hid that from himself all these years, denied himself of recognizing his attraction towards you. Stopped himself from loving you, and maybe if he didn't do that this would've never happened.

"I was scared he would hurt me, we were always alone" you told him, wanting him to know that you wanted him to know but sometimes fear controlled you in ways you couldn't explain.

"I was right inside that first night, I could've come out and stopped him" Miles argued and that’s when it hit him. The front porch, the doorbell, his phone. His eyes widened and you watched as his thoughts danced across his face.

"What is it?" you asked and without answering he rushed to his room, plugging in his phone as he opened the app that could hold the key to everything.

"Don't worry Y/N, I got a plan" sighing you let him hide out, making yourself some dinner. and trying to go to sleep despite knowing a nightmare would awake you soon. Yet when you woke up Miles was snoring softly beside you in your bed. A wave of calm rushed over you and you scooted closer before falling alseep again, the first real rest you had gotten in a long time.

When you woke up to your alarm he was no longer there, his car not even in the driveway. You figured he had early scenes and you had forgot. So you got ready, tried to slow your heart as you made your way to set, trying to prepare yourself for another day of torture. Yet before you could be called to set a knock sounded at your door, a worker telling you that you were needed in the table read room, a meeting with the show runners. Realizing that you were more than likely going to be fired you allowed a few tears to fall as you made your way in that direction. Your situation did not look good as you spotted the director, all the producers including your own abuser, and Miles all sat around the table.

"We're glad you could join us Y/N, have a seat" the director told you and you nodded, scurrying to the open seat beside Bradley.

"Usually we don't call meetings until production time John, what is it" one of the producers asked the director and John gave you a soft smile.

"Miles came forward to me today with some information I think we can't ignore" he finally said and your heart doubled in speed as you realized what he had done, started a battle you would never win without any evidence. "Mr. Conway here has been harrassing Y/N for the last three weeks, threatening to debunk her career if she told anyone"

"Oh this is bullshit and you know it" Conway said, but everyone clear as day could see the fear across his face.

"Miles has also provided evidence" John said before clicking the screen, ring doorbell footage of the first night appearing on screen. Miles hand wrapped around your own, knowing this would be tough to watch. It was hard for him to watch himself, crying the moment he realized you sat outside in tears waiting for him to go to bed.

The group watched as you and Conway approached the door holding hands, they all watched as his smile turned into a growl as he shoved you against the wall, fear clear as day on your face and he got so close you were breathing each others air. "If you don't agree to dating me I will proceed to make your life a living hell, you'll never be hired ever again, people will think of how trrible you are, your fans will hate you, after tonight your mine and if you tell absolutely anybody it’s game over, you'll never amount to anything ever again"

Then they all watched as you frantically nodded and he forced himself on you, you clearly trying to push him away. Then they watched him harshly release you, walk to his car, as you clearly sobbed on the front porch. John ending the video before they could see anymore, you clearly distraught from reliving that moment.

"We're going to allow Y/N to decide if she wants to press charges and I am fully prepared to pause production if you aren't willing to immediately terminate him" John informed them and you felt your heart warm over at the thought of him protecting you.

"We understand completely, Conway you’re fired. Have your things packed by the end of the day and be expecting a court order coming your way" relief washed over you completely as Conway sat there, shock all over him. Miles pulled you into a hug, Conway leaving the room with profanities falling from his mouth.

"We're sorry for this Y/N, if you need anything at all we're here for you. We will also testify in court if you choose to go in that direction" you nodded as they also got up and left the room. John placed a comforting hand on your back before leaving as well, a true hero in this situation.

"I can't believe you came forward for me" you told Miles, still hugging him like your life depended on it.

"I had too, your my bestfriend. I love you, I have always loved you" Miles told you, pushing some hair out of your face. Losing you was never an option.

"What if your plan didn't work?" you asked and he shrugged.

"Then I was quitting the movie" he told you earnestly and you smiled, pulling him tighter into your hug.

"I love you Miles" you told him and he smiled before pulling back a little.

"I know this probably isn't the right time but after all this I figure you deserve to know that I'm in love with you Y/N. I love you in that more than best friend way and after this whole disaster you deserve to know that beause you deserve to be loved the right way" for a moment you were shocked, allowing his words to sink in because there was a moment you considered you and Miles. You just figured he'd never feel the same so you brushed it off, ignoring it for the sake of your friendship.

“Are you sure?” Miles hoped that this doubt wasn’t a symptom of the last few weeks of abuse.

“Positive Y/N, it took a lot of self control to not kill that asshole” you found yourself giggling through tears, a wide smile on your face for the first time in a month.

“I love you in a more than a best friend way too Miles” you grinned at him and he smiled arms pulling you close again.

“Can I kiss you?” he asked, wanting to make sure it was okay since that asshole never did.

“Yes, please” and he didn’t need any more confirmation before his lips were on yours. Instead of holding your breath like you had been for the last three weeks you inhaled him, breathing his air like he just filled you with life after the past month of torture.

A kiss to redeem every bad one, a kiss to start the healing process, and start finding yourself again. Which you had a feeling would be better than ever considering you had finally allowed yourself to love Miles in a way you always wished you could. This time you didn’t have to look out for the warning signs because you had Miles to protect you, and look for them too.

This has been a long time coming, but here is my "Nonspecific/Non-writing RAM playlist". As in, lots of random songs that don't necessarily fit my Alastor, the vibes, or I feel like they only fit some particular situations. Warning: the list is long for absolutely no good reason.

Bubblegum, love, or overall pop-y songs that absolutely do not fit the vibes (or are almost crack) but are funny or awful in context:

Unconditionally [Katy Perry]—Alastor to Vox. Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) [Ne-Yo]—Alastor to Vox. Walls [Natalie Taylor]—Alastor to Vox. Part of Your World (Reprise) [Jodi Benson]—Vox to Alastor. Irreplaceable [Beyoncé]—Multiverse song that the Voxs probably assume Alastor would sing about them. The Phantom of the Opera [Andrew Lloyd Webber]—Come on, I had to, for Vox and Alastor. Lost in the Woods [Jonathan Groff]—Vox to Alastor, or even vice versa if you're like me and think Alastor is the most. Infinity [Jaymes Young]—This is just Alastor's love song in general, but a lot more twisted in context. FRIENDS [Marshmello, Anne-Marie]—Not my Alastor, but the canon RAM Alastor to Vox. One Last Time [Ariana Grande]—Not a perfect one to one, but Valentino to Vox potentially. Oops...I Did It Again [Britney Spears]—Alastor playing around with Vox's feelings knowing the directive will set in and prevent him from doing anything about it. Slipping [Neil Patrick Harris]—Multiverse Alastor shenanigans. Welcome to My Life [Simple Plan]—Vito to the other Voxs getting RAM'd in the multiverse. We Don't Talk About Bruno [Encanto - Cast]—Multiverse Alastors talking about RAM Alastor. Isabella is Alex in particular. The Best Day Ever [Spongebob Squarepants]—Niffty. Chasing Cars [Snow Patrol]—Vox and Alastor. Horny Angry Tango [Rachel Bloom, Scott Michael Foster]—The fight between Alastor and Vox. GUY.exe [Superfruit]—Alastor, especially in the multiverse. You're My Best Friend (And I Know I'm Not Yours) [Pete Gardner]—Niffty to Vox probably. Confrontation [Jekyll & Hyde]—Main and RAM Alastor, but Jekyll is RAM and Main is Hyde. Those Magic Changes [Sha Na Na]—Vox in the tower during those seven years. Skin [Sabrina Carpenter]—Alastor in the multiverse to all his detractors. Jaded [Miley Cyrus]—Multiverse Alastor to the Vox leading the charge against him. Psycho [Taylor Acorn]—Alastor to Vox. Lover Of Mine [5 Seconds of Summer]—Alastor to Vox. Francesca [Hozier]—Alastor to Vox in the most twisted of contexts. Skyscraper [Demi Lovato]—Vox to Alastor. you broke me first [Tate McRae]—Alastor to Vox. Broken [Lifehouse]—Vox to Alastor. Let Go [Frou Frou]—Alastor to Vox.

Songs that fit the AU a little better but might be questionable for one reason or another:

In the End [Linkin Park]—Vox. Comatose [Skillet]—Vox to Alastor. The Killing Kind [Marianas Trench]—This song is in three parts, but the first part feels very Alastor, especially the building manic pace. Saints [Echos]—A more lucid Vox to Alastor. Scratch [Kendall Payne]—Velvette about herself and Vox. Falling Inside the Black [Skillet]—Vox to Alastor. Hurt [Christina Aguilera]—Velvette to Vox. Silk [Crywolf, MOTHICA]—This is overall a sex song, but I think taken literally it has very Vox and Alastor vibes. Before You Go [Lewis Capauldi]—Valentino to Vox. CEPHALOTUS [Crywolf]—Vox. Without You [Breaking Benjamin]—Valentino to Vox. Leave My Body [Florence + The Machine]—Vox. The Diary of Jane [Breaking Benjamin]—Vox to Alastor. Car Radio [Twenty One Pilots]—Vox. DATURA [paroxysm] [Crywolf]—Vox about Alastor. Believe [Mumford & Sons]—Vox to Alastor. Sail [AWOLNATION]—Alastor. Black Magic [Jaymes Young]—Vox to Alastor. Not Who We Were [Em Beihold]—Niffty. ULTRAVIOLENT [adrenochrome] [Crywolf]—Vox to Alastor. Love [Daughter]—Valentino about Vox and Alastor. Blame [Echos]—Vox. Craving - Acoustic [YMIR]—Vox to Alastor. House a Habit [We Are the Guests]—Not sure why, but it gives me big Niffty vibes. Frozen [Within Temptation]—Vox to Alastor and potentially vice versa. Hate Me [Blue October]—Alastor to Vox, in some ways, but not all. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) [Eurythmics]—Alastor.

Songs that are incredibly specific to either particular roleplays or circumstances:

Learn to Love [Jessi Smiles, Joey Emmanuel]—Velvette and Valentino to Vox, particularly if he gets his memories back and is trying to move on. Slowly [Susanne Sundfør]—Potentially Vox during the Reassurance phase of my version of the Ordeal. The Seal Lullaby [Eric Whitacre]—The Reassurance phase, and potentially what Alastor would have hummed or sang during it. Angels [Within Temptation]—Either Other Ending or Heaven Ending Vox.

Magi: Judar + JuAli Rambles 🖤❤️💛🐈‍⬛☀️

Hi! I’ll be writing my reaction rambles after reading a few Magi volumes in JP.

Thanks to Bas, the leader of the fan-scanlation group Project Vinland, and a mutual of mine who’s big in the scanlation community, I got access to Magi’s JP Raws.

Viz’s official English translation of Magi is fine for the most part, in terms of translation quality.

I’ll be putting Sense Scans’ EN fan-TL and Viz’s EN official TL here for reference.

Since I don’t see the need to re-translate lines that both the fan-TL and official TL already translated correctly.

I love the prose that Sense Scans uses in their Magi fan-scanlation.

For certain lines, though, I’ll also be putting the literal translation (from my head).

My beloved JuAli 🖤❤️💛🐈‍⬛☀️

Wanted to ramble about them!

Judar’s pronouns

俺 (Ore, “I”) - Casual, informal, rude. Mainly used by men.

お前/おまえ (Omae, “You”) - Casual, informal, rude. Mainly used by men.

Notes:

Judar’s first-person pronoun is 俺 (Ore, “I”). Judar’s second-person pronouns is おまえ (Omae, “You”)

Judar uses the very casual and informal, rude, masculine pronouns 俺 (Ore, “I”) and おまえ (Omae, “You”). He uses the kanji version of 俺 (Ore, “I") as his first-person pronoun, and interchangeably uses the kanji and hiragana versions of お前/おまえ (Omae, “You”) as his second-person pronoun.

He speaks pretty casually and informally. He uses colloquial particles (shortens verb conjugation endings) sometimes.

Extra Notes:

In “Role Language” (役割語, Yakuwarigo), fictional characters’ dialects — the usage of pronouns, particles, etc., conveys character traits such as gender, age, class, and levels of formality, etc.

俺/おれ/オレ (Ore) is an informal first-person pronoun, and very rough version of “I” almost exclusively used by males in casual (informal) situations.

俺 (Ore) tends to be used by characters who are very rough, casual, vulgar, sleazy, in a position of power, and/or, just very manly/masculine.

お前/おまえ/オマエ (Omae) is a very rough second-person pronoun for “You” usually used by males in casual (informal) situations. Usually only used between close friends IRL. It has an aggressive and rude edge when not used between friends. Also used to speak down to others from a higher position.

Arrogant characters (including arrogant royals), tend to lean into using more rough, casual masc pronouns such as 俺 (Ore) and お前 (Omae), such as Xanxus (KHR), Kuroha/Saeru (KagePro), Judar (Magi), Edward (ROTRK), Vegeta (DBZ), Enzan (MMBN/EXE), etc., since they’re in positions of authority and/or high status, and look down on others.

Many of my favourite characters, such as Judar (Magi), Xanxus (KHR), Kuroha (KagePro), Enzan (MMBN/EXE), Edward (ROTRK), and many more, have very rough and masculine speech patterns in JP. All of the characters I listed here also use 俺 (Ore) and お前 (Omae) as their main pronouns.

It’s very typical of rude and arrogant masc characters to lean into using them. Characters who are casual/informal and masculine in general, also tend to lean into using them.

Whether a character uses the kanji or hiragana or katakana versions (or combination) as their pronouns could be used to give off a certain nuance. But it depends on the character and context.

(I actually copied these notes from my XanLena dialogue scripts cuz I don’t feel like writing all of that again. I’ll post more of my KHR AU stuff reventually!)

How he refers to others:

Alibaba:

アリババくん (Alibaba-kun, “Alibaba”)

アリババ (Alibaba, “Alibaba”)

ハニワ (Haniwa, “Clay doll”)

Sinbad:

シンドバッド (Shindobaddo, “Sinbad”)

バカ殿 (Baka tono, “Idiot king”)

Note: 殿 (tono, “feudal lord”)

Hakuryuu:

白龍 (Hakuryuu, “Hakuryuu”)

Aladdin:

アラジン (Arajin, “Aladdin”)

Judar's Usage of Particles:

の (no) - Sentence ending particle. Can be used to soften a sentence.

な/なあ (na/naa) - Sentence ending particle. Masculine, usually used by men.

ね/ねえ (ne/nee) - Sentence ending particle. Can be used to soften a sentence. [X]

よ (yo) - Sentence ending particle. Often used to soften a sentence.

ぜ (ze) - Sentence ending particle. Rude, rough, informal, masculine, used to add emphasis. Slightly softer than the sentence ending particle ぞ (zo). Usually used by men.

んだ (nda) - Sentence ending particle, used to add emphasis. Casual/informal version.

んだよ (nda yo) - See above, but it adds the nuance of trying to give a new perspective to the listener that they don’t have. [X]

だ (da) - Sentence ending particle. Masculine, forceful, used for emphasis.

だろ (daro) - Sentence ending particle. Masculine, forceful, used for emphasis.

じゃん (Jyan) - Casual colloquial of じゃない (Jyanai) → Has the nuance of “Isn’t it?” and “Actually.” Makes the sentence softer.

Ex. いるんだ (irunda)

んだ (nda) has a casual nuance. He uses colloquial particles.

Not a comprehensive list, but ones I’ve noticed so far. I’ll probably edit the section about his usage of particles later since I still need to check them

Judar often shortens verb conjugations in his casual/informal speech style.

Characters like Judar, Xanxus, (and Enzan occasionally) use shortened verb conjugations, colloquials (casual forms) of verbs. This is very typically masc. Rougher masc charas often do this

Ex.

いらない (Iranai, "Don't need/want [it]") (Plain negative form) → Iran or Iranee (いらん/いらねえ, “Don’t need/want [it]”) (Shortened casual/informal negative form)

いらない (Iranai) → いらん/いらねえ (Iran/Iranee)

Magi: Vol. 27 - Ch. 266

JP (Original)

Page 1

Judar: Huh?

ジュダル：ふう～ん？

(Judaru: Fuu~n?)

...

Judar: (I don't understand what this guy is saying at all!)

ジュダル：（こいつのいってること、サッパリわからないぜ！）

(Judaru: Koitsu no itteru koto, sappari wakaranai ze!)

...

Judar: (Geez, why did Aladdin choose this guy!?)

ジュダル：（まったく、アラジンはなぜこんな奴を選んだんだ！？）

(Judaru: Mattaku, Arajin wa naze konna yatsu wo eranda nda!?)

...

Judar: (And Hakuryuu too. Just what about this guy that charmed him so much…………)

ジュダル：（白龍だってそうだ。こんな奴の、一体どこにそんなにひかれて…………）

(Judaru: Hakuryuu datte sou da. Konna yatsu no, ittai doko ni sonna ni hikarete…………)

Note: Comes from the verb 惹かれる (hikareru, “to be charmed by; to be attracted to; to be taken with; to be drawn to”)

Page 2

Judar: That's right, just what about Alibaba charmed Aladdin and Hakuryuu enough to make them so fixated with him?

ジュダル：そうだ、アラジンと白龍は、アリババの一体何にそんなにひかれて、あんなにこだわっていたんだ？）

(Judaru: Souda, Arajin to Hakuryuu wa, Aribaba no ittai nani ni sonna ni hikarete, anna ni kodawatteita nda?)

Note: Te-ita form verb conjugation. Comes from the verb 拘る (kodawaru, “to be obsessive (about); to be overly concerned (with); to be hung up (on); to be fixated with”)

...

Judar: (I just don't understand.)

ジュダル：（俺にはわからないぜ。）

(Judaru: Ore ni wa wakaranai ze.)

Fan-TL (Sense Scans)

Official TL (Viz)

I get both JuAli and AliHaku crumbs from Judar’s monologue about Alibaba. Isn’t that amazing? ^v^

I already talked about this scene plenty before, so I won't copy paste the same rambles from before.

Fan-TL is spot on with this ^^

Viz removes the first mention of "Charmed/Attracted" in the 1st page, but at least keeps it in the 2nd page.

I think the gist is kept, but the original and fan-TL are more explicit and obvious about it.

"That's right, what about Alibaba charmed them so much to make them so fixated with him?"

...

I noticed that in the last sentence, Judar's 何 (nani, "what") has a dot in place of furigana (characters that denote the pronunciation of a word, or add a certain nuance to the text).

This is called 圏点 (kenten, "emphasis mark") or 傍点 (bouten, "emphasis mark").

This is used for emphasis, similar to how English uses underlines or italics or bold for emphasis.

It has an emphatic nuance. It's used to add emphasis on a word. Typical manga fonts used in official localizations have all words in capital letters, so Ig in this case, bold or italics could convey this kind of nuance.

...

The equivalent in English would be something like this:

Judar: That's right, just WHAT about Alibaba charmed Aladdin and Hakuryuu enough to make them so fixated with him?

Or this

Judar: That's right, just what about Alibaba charmed Aladdin and Hakuryuu enough to make them so fixated with him?

Or this

Judar: That's right, just what about Alibaba charmed Aladdin and Hakuryuu enough to make them so fixated with him?

Or this

Judar: That's right, just what about Alibaba charmed Aladdin and Hakuryuu enough to make them so fixated with him?

...

Oooooh you're stumped by it!!!

Alibaba's charm points of what drew others to him...

You wanna know so bad, huh?

I think I got more to say in general about this scene, but I wrote enough for now ^^

You already get the point

Other Notes

Me: Some of Viz’s spellings are just weird to me, like them translating Magnostadt as a direct romanization → Magnoshutatt

Magnostadt (マグノシュタット, Magunoshutatto) 

For some reason???

...

Friend: God bless you Sen 😭💓💓 This is all really fascinating to read

Me: You're welcome! English is so BORING to me as a language when it comes to things like this, because everyone sounds the same. You're either normal or you're cowboy. Yeehaw /lh

I love how languages like Vietnamese and Japanese can express things like character traits and personality, etc., in speech. How it can convey the "vibes" that a character gives off right away, just from their speech style/patterns.

Vietnam has a lot of dialects and speech quirks! The main ones are the North, South, and Central Vietnamese dialects. And they have many variants depending on the area

Yakuwarigo ("Role Language"), fictional characters' dialects/speech styles in Japanese, is SOOO interesting, and English doesn't have a proper equivalent for it.

This is part of why I wanted to learn Japanese. THIS conveys things like character traits and different speech styles SO MUCH more.

Also keep in mind that I’m doing these quick literal TLs quickly based on my interpretation of the text, and that I’m still learning JP so I can make mistakes 🙏

If you notice any, feel free to correct me!

If you’d like to learn more about Japanese pronouns in an IRL context, see these links:

Japanese particles

Do note that Role Language in fiction can differ partially and/or a lot from usage in IRL contexts.

In fictional characters’ dialects, 貴方/あなた (Anata, “You”) is considered a neutral or polite/formal pronoun (depending on the context)

IRL, it’s rude to call someone with 貴方/あなた (Anata, “You”) because “it sounds accusatory to pound the listener with ‘You’ every sentence”

Thus Phugegwrins(?) saw when the king appointed Augewan asdamokoros.

One ewer of the queenly type, decorated with a cow's head and conch shell(s). JUG 1. One ewer of the wheelwright type with a curved handle.

One ewer of the queenly type, with figures of women, a cow's head and decorated with a spiral. JUG 1.

Commentary

This tablet contains one of our most complex sentences in Mycenaean Greek and is the first in the Ta Series, a list of banqueting equipment from Pylos.

o-wide - hō wide - ὡς εἶδε. o- often alternates with jo-, < *yo. This alternating initial *y- suggests that the common Greek sound change of *y > [h] is already occurring in Mycenaean Greek. This suggests a link to ὡς - a main clause interrogative, or adverb, or ὅς - a relative pronoun indicating the beginning of the tablet. wide - εἶδε (with original initial digamma) - 3rd person singular aorist of οἶδα - he saw.

pu2-ke-qi-ri - Phugegwirins. A personal name, most likely the person writing this tablet. This name also occurs in the Thebes tablets as an adjective pu2-ke-qi-ri-ne-ja. The presence of -ne- suggests that this name ends in -ins, or -ῑς in later Greek. The name itself is composed of two parts: Phuge - "he who flees" and - gegwirins - "violence, force, or toil."

o-te - hote - ὅτε - when.

wa-na-ka - wanax - "king." Related to ἄναξ, Homeric word for king and survives to some extent in Classical Greek.

te-ke - (ἔ)θηκε - 3rd person singular aorist of τίθημι. Here this means "appointed." Some people speculate that this means "buried," but seems unlikely in this context.

au-ke-wa - Augewan. Accusative singular form of Augewas, a personal name - seen in Homer as Αὐγειας and Pindar as Αἰγεάς. Object of te-ke.

da-mo-ko-ro - seems to be the title of an office to which Augewas was appointed. Augewas appears alongside other officials (ko-re-te) in a J-series tablet. da-mo = people (δῆμος) - further evidence of this being a public office. -ko-ro = associated with the ko-re-te's - potentially related to κορέννυμι - "satisfy, fulfill?" Could also be associated with κοίρανος = old Greek for king?

qe-ra-na - presumably a type of vessel - translated by Killen as "ewer." 1st declension feminine noun of unknown case - presumably a nominative of rubric, or an accusative. The form could be related to θερμός (from PIE *gwer- > qe-r-).

wa-na-se-wi-ja - wanassa (female wanax) + -i-ja adjectival suffix - "queenly." Unsure what this means. Ventris and Chadwick suggest "of the queen's set"; Killen (2024) suggests "fit for a queen." "Queenly" is the safest translation to fit the meaning without ascribing unnecessary value or assumptions about society.

qo-u-ka-ra - "cow's head". From PIE *gwou-kar-ās (genitive singular). Likely means to be depicted with a cow's head. Drinking vessels are commonly found in Mycenaean periods depicting cow's heads, such as rhyta from the Mycenae Shaft Graves of Grave Circle A and the Vapheio Cups.

ko-ki-re-ja - made of conch shell, or decorated with conch shell. e-jo adjective of material ending. The root of the adjective is likely *konkhil-, related to Classical Greek κογχή (a potentially pre-Greek word). The *-il- (-ir-) suffix seems to relate to sea creatures, such as the nautilus. Sea animals were a common theme in Mycenaean iconography, seen on the painted floor of the palace at Pylos, as well as decorating many pots, etc.

a-mo-te-wi-ja - "of the wheelwright type." This corresponds with wa-na-se-wi-ja in form. -e-w- suggests that this comes from an -eus agent noun - largely agreed to be harmoteus - wheelwright. However, harmosteus, meaning governor (ἁρμοτής), has also been suggested. harmoteus meaning wheelwright has a PIE root of *asrmn(t)-. A related word in Mycenaean is a-mo, meaning wheel - which emerges as ἅρμα (chariot) in Classical Greek. It is unlikely that this ewer belonged to or depicted a wheelwright, so there is little idea as to what this means.

ko-ro-na-we-sa - "decorated with a curved handle?." The -we-(s)sa suffix of this adjective means "decorated with" and is the feminine version of the masculine/neuter suffix -went-. This suffix is seen in Homeric Greek as -οεις- and comes from the PIE root *-wnt-ya-, which then palatalises to -wassa and analogises with masculine went- to -wessa. The root of the word is harder to discern. Classical Greek κορώνη can mean either "curved handle" or "seabird." It is more likely that this ewer has a curved handle. ko-ro-n- could also be κλον- with a dummy vowel (ko-r-). Classical Greek κλόνος can mean "throng" or "turmoil" and is often associated with the throng of warriors motif that appears on vessels at the end of the Mycenaean period. However, it appears more likely that this is describing the vessel's handle.

ku-na-ja - gunaia - womanly. This could once again refer to a picture of a woman, or a vessel fit for a woman, but both of these descriptions seem redundant when the vessel has already been referred to as wa-na-se-wi-ja.

to-qi-de-we-sa - "decorated with a spiral." to-qi-de appears to be a dative or instrumental form - torkwidei, related to Latin torqueo? This likely means spiral.

[wander-over-the-words]

are there any songs that you associate with deltaclair/topclair as a pairing?

Oh, yes! I have a few I can recommend for them! Surprised I’ve never brought it up myself tbh haha. But yes! Here’s some I’ve got for ya, bud (along with some lyrics from each and commentary cause why not):

Never Knew I Needed by Ne-Yo (from the Princess and the Frog)

For the way you changed my plans For being the perfect distraction For the way you took the idea that I had Of everything that I wanted to have And made me see there was something missing

For the ending of my first beginning And for the rare and unexpected friend  For the way you're something that I'd never choose But at the same time, something I don't wanna lose And never wanna be without ever again

You're the best thing I never knew I needed So when you were here, I had no idea You're the best thing I never knew I needed So now it's so clear, I need you here always

This one is The Main One, the very first song I think of if I wanna listen to something that makes me think of them. 

Might be a little generic when it comes to ship songs, but like. I mean just look at those lyrics! That is Sinclair thinking about how suddenly his plans for getting richer from Rapture’s bounty don’t mean as much as having Delta around. Hell, you could also say it’s Delta musing on how he thought it was just gonna be him and Eleanor against the world, but now he can’t view post-Rapture life without Augustus either. The next verse after that first chorus is very ‘Delta to Sinclair’ as well:

My accidental happily (Ever after) The way you smile and how you comfort me (With your laughter) I must admit you were not a part of my book But now if you open it up and take a look You're the beginning and the end of every chapter

Next one: Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley

Wise men say Only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be

Take my hand Take my whole life, too For I can't help falling in love with you

Okay, I recognise that this is like THE Generic Ship Song cause who the hell hasn’t imagined this fuckin thing for one of their ships, even if it’s not the Presley version, but the reasons I put it on the list are 

a) Elvis would be a big thing around the time the group get out of Rapture (supposing this is one of those fix-it AUs) so they would actually likely hear this song

And b) I just genuinely think it does fit them fairly well, what with the reference to “rush[ing] in”, since these two know each other like, what, a few hours tops? Depending on how long that train ride was from the time Sinclair first talks to Delta to the end; that’s a pretty damn short time for them to be like “this guy right here, he’s the one for me” And then there’s the line about “Would it be a sin” - I’ve always felt Sinclair would think himself having some damn gall to fall for a dude he practically had bagged up and shipped off to be turned into a slave, and I’ve always thought that’d make him have some complicated feelings about himself and the situation he’s faced with, but that’s just me. And let’s be real: romance was the last fuckin thing on either’s mind when they paired up, so they really couldn’t help falling in love with each other

Next one (and maybe a little controversial, depending on your view of the cartoon): Love Like You by Rebecca Sugar (from Steven Universe)

I always thought I might be bad Now I'm sure that it's true 'Cause I think you're so good And I'm nothing like you

Look at you go I just adore you I wish that I knew What makes you think I'm so special

If I could begin to do Something that does right by you I would do about anything I would even learn how to love

Angsty compared to the others. The entire song has good lines to apply to them, but that section in particular makes me think of the scenario of Sinclair dwelling on his guilt over what he did to Delta, and the prospect of Delta showing forgiveness despite that. Depending on how one characterises Delta, could be from his pov too! Whatever you want. 

Next song, and this one’s more from their time: Just In Time by Frank Sinatra

Just in time, I found you just in time Before you came, my time was runnin' low I was lost, the losing dice were tossed My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go

Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin' No more doubt or fear, I found my way For love came just in time You found me just in time

And changed my lonely life that lovely day

Pretty self-explanatory on this one, I think! (And they’ll be using that ‘lovely’ in ‘lovely day’ very sarcastically lmao)

Next one, another from ol’ Frank: I’ve Got You Under My Skin

I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin

I'd tried so not to give in I said to myself, "This affair never will go so well" But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of havin' you near In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear

"Don't you know, little fool, you never can win? Use your mentality, wake up to reality" But each time that I do just the thought of you makes me stop Before I begin 'cause I've got you under my skin

The whole twist on the idiom of getting under someone’s skin is fun when you apply it to the ship, I think. I’m gonna be repeating myself here but:

Delta did get under Sinclair’s skin. He made him feel guilt over what he did to Delta, and fuck knows Sinclair didn’t feel any guilt when he fucked over the people of Pauper’s Drop or when he did all the other crazy shit he got up to in Rapture. Delta’s the first person that made him think back to what he did and actually like…feel bad about it? He actually did get under Sinclair’s skin, and bashed through the stone wall around that heart in his chest. 

Sinclair got under Delta’s skin too. Let’s be real - Sinclair and Delta were each other’s ticket out of Rapture, a means to an end, with Delta being the brawn and Sinclair being the brains. They were doin’ business first and foremost, purely professional. For Delta, it was just gonna be him and Eleanor - but then this Southern prick had to go and treat him like a person instead of just a Big Daddy (getting under the ‘skin’ of his Big Daddy self) and legit befriend him, and now Delta’s picturing Sinclair with the two of them when they all get out of Rapture and caring about his safety just as much as Eleanor’s. Tenenbaum’s voice was the first he heard upon waking up, but Sinclair was the person he got attached to during his journey.

It’s as I said above: Sinclair thinks himself having some mighty gall to fall for Delta after what he did, and I’ve often thought that any insecurity Delta would have about falling for Augustus would obviously come in the form of “I’m a fuckin monster, he doesn’t want someone like me, we don’t even know how human I still am under this suit”, so the both of them have the thought of “this affair will never go so well” and tried to resist, but they are under each other’s skin, deep in their hearts, so deep they’re a part of each other now

Next one, and the last from the good Mr. Sinatra on the list: You Make Me Feel So Young

You make me feel so young You make me feel so Spring has sprung And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy individual

The moment that you speak I want to go play hide and seek I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon

You and I Are just like a couple of tots Running across a meadow Pickin' up lots of forget me nots

You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung And a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and grey I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cause you make me feel so young

Somewhat self-explanatory again; they’re a couple of middle-aged dudes (in Delta’s case; according to my hc he’s middle-aged) who have had just. the WORST damn time lately nrgngn They’re fuckin tired man, they make each other feel young and happy again

Before we move on, I just wanna give a shoutout to one more Frank Sinatra song (I’m a big fan of his, can you tell?) and say: the entirety of Come Fly With Me doesn’t strike me as a ship song for them. BUT

Once I get you up there Where the air is rarefied We'll just glide Starry-eyed Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near You may hear Angels cheer, 'cause we're together

This part makes me Feel Things if you think of ‘up there’ as just the surface in general.

Anyways, onto the other songs -

Next one, another one from more their time: Happy Together by The Turtles

Me and you, and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby, the skies'll be blue For all my life

(Ignore how it says ‘girl you love’ cause y’know) 

Okay, this one’s absolutely a joke NGRNGNRN

It started with me amusing myself with the ol’ gag about Sinclair simping for the Big Daddy and the thought that like. Delta does literally anything and on the outside, Sinclair’s like “haha u got it chief” 

but on the inside he’s like “I CAN’T SEE ME LOVIN’ NOBODY BUT YOU -” so now whenever I hear the song I just. Laugh

I thought I’d give it a mention just cause the idea still makes me laugh, so maybe it’ll make y’all laugh too NGRNGN

(It is also at least partially true to the ship as I see ‘em too, thanks to ol’ headcanon that Delta would be Sinclair’s first genuine relationship thanks to his years of being an emotionally repressed workaholic, and lemme tell you: Delta didn’t eye up anybody else when he had Augustus sitting next to him, all handsome and charming and pretty. and like. No offence to either dude but who the hell they gonna end up with if not each other at this point lmao Nobody understands them like the other does)

(And yes I recognise the song is technically about unrequited love rather than requited love but that’s the joke behind giving it to BioShock’s biggest simp)

Last one for now: I Don’t Have A Name For It by Steam Powered Giraffe

Well, it's the way [he] smiles and the way I swoon When [he] winks at me from across the room It's the way [he] laughs and the way [he] cries It's the way [his] hand fits perfectly in mine

Well, I don't have name for it, Been trying to find a name for it, I don't think there's a name for it, But it's kinda like being in love

[...]

Well, it's the way [he] can twirl on the face of a dime And the way [he's] always there like my partner in crime It's the curl of [his] hair and the gleam of [his] eyes And the heart in [his] chest that beats in rhythm with mine

(Changed the pronouns cause y’know) 

This one’s absolutely a generic OTP song - could apply it to pretty much any ship - but I’m putting it on the list just because 

I love the mental image of this being ‘hopeless romantic’ Delta’s thoughts when he’s musing about Augustus. Plus, a lot of the songs I find that make me think of them tend to be Sinclair’s pov for Delta, but this one exclusively feels like Delta being all giddy over Sinclair and y’know being all “Isn’t Augustus so great??” And maybe beneath the cheery lyrics and tune there’s a wee bit of identity issues from Delta’s pov, regarding his being a Big Daddy and his lack of memories. The chorus kinda makes me think of how Delta doesn’t remember his past self’s love life, so what he’s feeling for Augustus is - to Subject Delta - completely new.

And that’s it for now! There’re probably more that I’m forgetting about, but these are the ones I can currently recall. If I think of anymore, I’ll post about them lmao Hope you like ‘em c:

Le jardin, Paris (Pride rec)

Yo ! J'ai un peu d'énergie et on est en juin donc j'ai envie de faire des mini présentations de livres queer qui existent en français et qui méritent d'être un peu plus connus ou genre, d'être inscrits sur la liste de quelqu'un pour être offert en cadeaux (et qui ne sont pas d'auteurs anglophones).

Donc... Le Jardin, Paris, BD de Gaëlle Geniller

L'histoire se résume très rapidement : nous sommes à Paris en 1924. Rose, 19 ans, enfant d'une tenancière de cabaret veut danser, comme toutes les filles qui vivent autour d'eux, et se lance sur scène.

Plus largement, c'est de la tranche de vie et du coming of age, donc c'est difficile d'en dire plus sans spoiler ! Et puis c'est vraiment une BD à découvrir sans trop d'attentes, donc je n'ai pas envie d'en dire beaucoup plus, à part que c'est adorable. Avec certes assez de cynisme pour que je n'ai pas l'impression d'avoir la version papier-glacé et glamour de l'époque.

Le dessin est très beau, les scènes de danse sont dynamiques, l'intrigue est très organique. C'est une des rares BD où j'ai vraiment eu l'impression que la question de la représentation est traité en évitant la dissonance lié au "ceci est un concept anachronique mais qui existait à l'époque" que je reproche à beaucoup de trucs publiés ces derniers temps (je comprends pourquoi ! Mais ça m'irrite parce que c'est souvent maladroit).

Donc voilà... Si vous voulez une BD sans prétention mais qui fait du bien, ça vaut la peine de l'ouvrir !

PЦИЖ ДЯΞИ’Γ DΞДD ☠️

I protest 🪧

Public knowledge:

Hello

I don't know why you call yourselves a helpdesk, ignorance desk would be more appropriate & above all: honestly....

Anyway: my problems with your platform are still omnipresent:

My Messages tab hasn't been displayed for days

- I can't contact my friends anymore either

-searching my own blog is also no longer possible; similar posts are also no longer suggested below

-I don't see my own reblogs in the notifications center

Also, I'm in one of your dubious lists, don't speak explicitly, but there hasn't been any promotion on your part for months - only users who follow me or visit me directly or users who are looking for, reblogs...because????

Do you really need something like this? With all due respect: Kindergarten 💩

And being busy or not: Days or weeks of zero reaction on your part is not only extremely impolite but above all: highly unprofessional!

I've been a loyal user since 2011 and this is how I get thanked???!

Your apps will only become more and more profit-oriented, annoying and often very questionable system changes will simply be made overnight & without warning! =dictatorship

All this would be unthinkable in the real world!

It can't be that you ignore the laws and rules that prevail everywhere!

Discrimination & branding is proven to be a clear violation of the law!

And please buy a dictionary and look up the word: community, and while you're at it, please also look up: mobbing & harassment 😉

All this borders on delusions of grandeur.... ashamed of others.... 👎🏾

I am a quiet fellow but such a treatment on your part is ridiculous !

I urgently ask again 🚨 for an exam!

Thanks

Alex

Bonjour

Je ne sais pas pourquoi vous vous appelez helpdesk, ignorance desk serait plus approprié & surtout : honnêtement....

Quoi qu'il en soit : mes problèmes avec votre plateforme sont toujours omniprésents :

L'onglet Mes messages n'a pas été affiché depuis des jours

- Je ne peux plus contacter mes amis non plus

-la recherche sur mon propre blog n'est également plus possible ; les messages similaires ne sont également plus suggérés ci-dessous

-Je ne vois pas mes propres reblogs dans le centre de notifications

De plus, je suis dans l'une de vos listes douteuses, ne parlez pas explicitement, mais il n'y a pas eu de promotion de votre part depuis des mois - uniquement les utilisateurs qui me suivent ou me visitent directement ou les utilisateurs qui recherchent des reblogs. ..parce que????

Avez-vous vraiment besoin de quelque chose comme ça ? Avec tout le respect que je vous dois : Maternelle 💩

Et être occupé ou non : Des jours ou des semaines sans aucune réaction de votre part sont non seulement extrêmement impoli mais surtout : très peu professionnels !

Je suis un utilisateur fidèle depuis 2011 et c'est ainsi que je suis remercié ???!

Vos applications ne feront que devenir de plus en plus axées sur le profit, des changements de système ennuyeux et souvent très discutables seront simplement effectués du jour au lendemain et sans avertissement ! = dictature

Tout cela serait impensable dans le monde réel !

Il ne se peut pas que vous ignoriez les lois et les règles qui prévalent partout !

La discrimination et l'image de marque s'avèrent être une violation flagrante de la loi !

Et s'il vous plaît, achetez un dictionnaire et recherchez le mot : communauté, et pendant que vous y êtes, veuillez également rechercher : mobbing & harcèlement 😉

Tout cela frise la folie des grandeurs.... la honte des autres.... 👎🏾

Je suis un type discret mais un tel traitement de votre part est ridicule !

Je redemande urgemment 🚨 pour un examen !

Merci

Hola

No sé por qué os hacéis llamar helpdesk, el servicio de ignorancia sería más apropiado y, sobre todo, sinceramente...

De todos modos: mis problemas con su plataforma siguen siendo omnipresentes:

La pestaña Mis mensajes no se ha mostrado durante días

- Yo tampoco puedo contactar más a mis amigos.

-buscar mi propio blog ya no es posible; publicaciones similares ya no se sugieren a continuación

-No veo mis propios reblogs en el centro de notificaciones

Además, estoy en una de sus listas dudosas, no hable explícitamente, pero no ha habido ninguna promoción de su parte durante meses, solo los usuarios que me siguen o me visitan directamente o los usuarios que buscan reblogs. ..¿¿¿¿porque????

¿Realmente necesitas algo como esto? Con todo respeto: Jardín de infancia 💩

Y estar ocupado o no: Días o semanas de cero reacción de tu parte no solo es extremadamente descortés sino sobre todo: ¡muy poco profesional!

¡Soy un usuario leal desde 2011 y así es como me agradecen!

¡Sus aplicaciones solo se volverán cada vez más orientadas a las ganancias, molestos y, a menudo, muy cuestionables, los cambios en el sistema simplemente se realizarán de la noche a la mañana y sin previo aviso! =dictadura

¡Todo esto sería impensable en el mundo real!

¡No puede ser que ignores las leyes y reglas que prevalecen en todas partes!

¡Se ha demostrado que la discriminación y la marca son una clara violación de la ley!

Y compre un diccionario y busque la palabra: comunidad, y mientras lo hace, busque también: mobbing y acoso 😉

Todo esto roza los delirios de grandeza.... avergonzarse de los demás.... 👎🏾

¡Soy un tipo tranquilo, pero tal trato de su parte es ridículo!

Vuelvo a pedir urgente 🚨 examen!

Gracias

Ciao

Non so perché vi chiamate helpdesk, l'ignorante sarebbe più appropriato e soprattutto: onestamente....

Ad ogni modo: i miei problemi con la tua piattaforma sono ancora onnipresenti:

La scheda I miei messaggi non viene visualizzata da giorni

- Non riesco più nemmeno a contattare i miei amici

-anche cercare nel mio blog non è più possibile; anche post simili non sono più suggeriti di seguito

-Non vedo i miei reblog nel centro notifiche

Inoltre, sono in una delle tue liste dubbie, non parlare esplicitamente, ma non ci sono promozioni da parte tua da mesi - solo utenti che mi seguono o mi visitano direttamente o utenti che cercano, reblog. ..Perché????

Hai davvero bisogno di qualcosa del genere? Con tutto il rispetto: Asilo 💩

Ed essere occupato o meno: giorni o settimane senza reazioni da parte tua non sono solo estremamente scortesi ma soprattutto: altamente poco professionali!

Sono un utente fedele dal 2011 ed è così che vengo ringraziato???!

Le tue app diventeranno sempre più orientate al profitto, le modifiche al sistema fastidiose e spesso molto discutibili verranno semplicemente apportate dall'oggi al domani e senza preavviso! = dittatura

Tutto questo sarebbe impensabile nel mondo reale!

Non può essere che tu ignori le leggi e le regole che prevalgono ovunque!

La discriminazione e il marchio hanno dimostrato di essere una chiara violazione della legge!

E per favore compra un dizionario e cerca la parola: community, e già che ci sei, per favore cerca anche: mobbing & harassment 😉

Tutto questo rasenta le manie di grandezza.... vergognarsi degli altri.... 👎🏾

Io sono un tipo tranquillo, ma un simile trattamento da parte tua è ridicolo!

Chiedo di nuovo urgentemente 🚨 per un esame!

Grazie

JORDAN ADETUNJI FT. KEHLANI - "KEHLANI (REMIX)

the "kehlani" version with kehlani

[6.56]

Ian Mathers: You can easily hear Adetunji sing parts of this song in his actual voice, and it sounds great, which just makes it an even weirder and greater move that he shot his shot so effectively that Kehlani actually shows up -- with production that makes him sound about 13 years old. The affect doesn't particularly go with the production or Kehlani's performance (both great), but somehow it still works. Not hoping this starts any kind of trend, but on its own? Hugely fun. [8]

Alfred Soto: If you're going to appear on an eponymous track functioning as a valentine, then giving the audience these parched star poses won't do. [4]

Harlan Talib Ockey: “Kehlani” (song) drags a lot for only three minutes. The beat is basically static, and the only major change in the production throughout the entire song is how much you can hear the Summer Walker sample. Because of this, the chorus feels ridiculously long; the verses use most of the same melodic phrases as the chorus, mixing everything further into mush. But if you only have 30 seconds to spend on this song, it’s fine. Adding Kehlani (singer) was a net positive, since their verse has easily the best lines (see: “step out like my wife but bust me down like she my enemy”).  [3]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Post-Weekndian R&B struggles with the disease of the eternal pre-chorus — songs that build and build toward nowhere, their languid melodies always slouching toward something greater that never arrives. The original "Kehlani" exemplified this tendency, its moderately catchy melody hammering into you and each additional R&B singer Adetunji listed like an entry in the Domesday Book. The remix — and Kehlani themself — breaks the monotony. They sound like they're bemused at the very concept of a song that pays tribute to them, not because they don't think they deserve it but because the praise feels fitting.  [7]

Taylor Alatorre: There's nothing necessarily wrong about making a Zoomer brainrot edition of Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent," but you'd think that an adopter of the Woman Respecter persona would show a bit more humility in this situation. Geeked off his social media triumph, Adetunji slots in Kehlani's perfectly serviceable contribution then refuses to trim any of his own parts to accommodate it, resulting in a final minute of deflationary pointlessness. I don't think Kehlani was intending to insult Adetunji by stressing their name's correct pronunciation in their verse, but I admire the pettiness. [4]

Mark Sinker: ppl shd be nice abt each other more often [8]

Jonathan Bradley: It's almost ambient, a composition of slow dark textures splintered by distant snare taps. Adetunji raps, I suppose, but his tumbling melodic syllables are so choppy, so resistant to legibility, that I imagine them as shards of light filtering at dawn through the gaps of an abandoned building. Does a track still count as hauntological if its remix summons the apparition it invokes? [7]

Nortey Dowuona: can't be objective, furious it's not me. even angrier that jordan is credited as the recording, mixing and mastering engineer. and he seems like a cool ass dude. jpegmafia could have a pop hit with kehlani too. haha this sucks man. [10]

Katherine St. Asaph: Kehlani owns this song, and thus proves its point. [8]

To her..

girl... how my heart breaks for you.. If you ever make it out (and I pray you do) there will come a day that you will look back and know that you are worth so much more and yes you deserve more. Actually, I truly believe that people deserve the exact same love that they give. Arguments are fine, actually disagreements are to be expected in any relationship in your life because they are natural. Every single persion is different and we all have different opinions but IT IS NO FUCKING OKAY FOR ANYONE TO USE TOOLS H AS TERROR OR ACTUAL HARM for the sake of an argument. Its possible, because in my heart I have been to places that \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ o\ne should have to be and I still wasnt violent. That behavior is NOT OKAY But really I wish I could say so much to you because I have been you. I was recently in a situation(and even though I can see so many similarities, there are always two sides to a story and the truth probably lies in the third party or God) similar to yours and every single day I wondered if that was going to be the day because I knew in my heart that if I stayed in that situation that I was going to die (either he would kill me or I would kill myself) ((and sorry to be so brutally honest but if there is one thing that you should know about me its im !00%real.. Id rather hurt your feelings then lie to your face ) but little by little I had let my feelings of self worth become so low that still to this day I can't face the things I have done. Looking back all of it was done just to feel something in return .. anything. and for what?!! ha I probably would have committed actual fucking horrendous acts if he would have commanded. See now I know that the word for that is SICK. I have and in so many ways still are SICK. Just a few KEY points that have crossed my mind today that I wish I could tell you..

1. You are Loved. My mom used to tell me this. Im really the first addict in my family and I have been blessed by one fucking amazing mother who I know I dont deserve sometimes and I pray that i one day will grow to be for my own kids. it is important to know this when it feels like your alone, and if nothing else YOUR BABIES ( #?) will ALWAYS LOVE YOU!43

2. LOVE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE CIONDITIONS. While in my past situation( you will probably hear me refer to this as my PAST life which I still pray that I dont end up back in) I use tio think that love that love should always be unconditional, but it's not true at all. Yes, we definitely should always love people where they are at, BUT NOT EVERYONE WE LOVE DESERVES RECIPROCATION FROM US. Actually I have learned that in your situation (and my past) that the one who we are loving unconditionally is not even capable of the same love. Yeah, you are right (cause I know youre probably making some type of excuse for him by now.. at least in your mind) but hands down this individual is just FUCKING SICK. They know that they don't deserve the things or the people that they have so they show their appreciation by treating the people who love them like absolute trash while treating and going absolutely out of their way just to treat some random stranger like Royalty!! What you have to be able to do in order to see the whole box is remember.. a narcissist only cares about themselves so everything that they are doing is purely SELF MOTIVATED. SEE... SICK. I have though about making a list of conditions that I will require of any person in my life and it would definitely start with something like..A. Here is what I expect from you and this relationship (including RESPECT) or I choose (and I know that even though you feel like you don't sometimes) not to include to have you as an active part of my life. Whew, imagine all the heartache, tears and WASTED TIME you have could have saved if you had told yourself this before you fell for all the lies you feel stupid for believing.

3. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THAT YOU FELL FOR IT.. There is a really young artist Avery Anna, shes a narcissistic abuse survivor such as my self and these are the words in some of her lyrics. If you sit back and think about it the truth is we are probably are just used to taking all the blame.. all the time. Everybody plays a part in some way sometimes, that's logic.

Okay well to be honest I need a break to deal with life on life's terms so to be continued later hopefully.

Mood rn: Disappointed. In myself and in life 😔

It has come to my attention that there is the frequent question of “what's your favorite song?” but never get asked “why is it your favorite song?”

So here is a list of my top 5 favorite songs and what qualified them to make it to my top 5.

The Justin Bieber version of “Jireh” is easily in my top 5 because he was a secularist that found God and uses his platform to share the word of God, no matter what people think and regardless of he loses followers. which is something so honorable that I look up to.

“Reason to Praise” Cory Asbury is a nontraditional Christian who paints his nails black, he’ll use comedy with the words hell or ass and I appreciate that because it’s real. Let’s be honest here, you can stub your toe and throw a cuss word out and still go to heaven.

“Promises” by Maverick City is always reminding me of the promises of God.

“Give me everything” by Ne-Yo is the perfect song right before any speaking event or anytime I need something to hype me up, it's my go-to.

“Run this Town” by Jay-Z, Rhianna, and Kanye West is the perfect song whenever I need a reminder to fix my crown when I'm feeling down, that's the song I put on.

These are just five of my 5 million favorite songs. I could go on forever talking about this. Music is such a way for me to connect with my higher power and for me to also feel grounded. I really don’t know what I would do without Music. I am curious to know below what your favorite songs are and why? Do you agree with any of mine above? if so, why? I am hoping one day I can be on a worship team at my local church so that I two can be a part of the music that I love so much. I can’t promise you that I will be able to hold a note, but I can promise you I will sure try. Music is a way to bring people together, and I believe that we are on a path of creating more meaningful music as people continue to become more aware of what is really going on in the world. We desperately need more love and more light and I believe that music can be such a valuable tool to spread that!
