#pushy? had no chemistry with Wednesday?

[tequiilasunriise]

OK OK LISTEN THIS ISNT BASHING

But also as I was scrolling through Wednesday’s character tag I found this:

AND A G A I N NOT BASHING THIS PERSON BUT THE WAY I WHEEZZEEDDD BECAUSE IT INSTANTLY REMINDED ME OF THIS ICONIC POST:

Jokes aside, I still can’t believe some people actively ship Xavier and Wednesday. Like, yes I am Wenclair rot ALL THE WAY, but besides that like even Jenna herself talked about how much she wants them to be healthy platonic friends and I completely agree. Not only do we get little of healthy platonic friendships between those of the opposite gender, Xavier’s Love Interest™️ behavior was majorly entitled, obsessive, and overall super fucken shitty towards Wednesday. He acted like she owed him something? Like, hold on, I still respect people who like Xavier as a character outside his Love Interest role but y’all can’t tell me his advances towards Wednesday weren’t awful. She shows up to his art studio and he automatically assumes she’s gonna ask him to the dance? Bro not only are you incredibly arrogant but also super fucken blind because do you not SEE how uncomfortable Wednesday is? Yeah, Wednesday was an asshole to him but SURPRISE SURPRISE- she’s an asshole to everyone. Just because she’s interacting with you with some basic decency that does not mean she’s interested in you. I am looking so hard at Garrett Gates obsessing over Morticia because he saw her kindness as romantic interest right now.

Outside of his direct advances to Wednesday, not only did Xavier keep being overtly, unhealthily jealous towards other guys she was found giving any attention to as if he has any power over her choices (small acts of jealousy can be cute in some contexts, but nah he was so hostile towards Wednesday when she was seen with Tyler like wtf dude back off), Xavier was also super shit towards Bianca with his constant obsession over Wednesday. It got to the point where he asked Bianca to use her siren powers on him AS IF HE DIDNT BREAK UP WITH HER BECAUSE OF CONSTANTLY SUSPECTING HER OF USING SAID POWERS. Bianca, my darling, you deserved so much better I have no idea what you saw in Xavier. In short, he was incredibly unlikable to me. I hated Tyler for pretty much the same reasons- the, “You keep sending me these signals” scene made my blood BOIL it was so bad- but looking back he gets a pass because his insistence to be close to her was a facade so she wouldn’t suspect him as the killer. Xavier gets no such pass to his entitlement. I feel like if they took away the Love Interest label from him and developed him more into his own character who is a fellow psychic and supportive friend to homegirl he would be a much more well-written character.

Anyways I did NOT mean fer this to become a ramble on how bad of a Love Interest™️ Xavier is but yeah Wenclair fer the win and if this comes back to bite me in the ass then so be it

[car1y-quinn]

Ajax is nice and all but his whole thing felt thrown in there. Xavier gave me whiplash. He’s so pushy and demanding of Wednesday for her to appreciate him and like him and the whole time I’m just like “take the fucking hint.” Tyler was okayish. But he got pushy too and kept making up some kind of romance that I honestly didn’t see. Wednesday looked like she was just using him. Which I’m sure maybe at some point she started to like him as a friend or maybe he got in her head that they should be more. She had the best chemistry with Enid and Bianca. Like come on! Wenclair for the win and Bianca is best girl! Also uncle fester is soooo fun!

My gripes

w jack

He didn’t really listen to me when I said I wasn’t ready and I didn’t want to have sex

He was very sexual and pushy but also I said I liked how aggressive he was

Hes got a weird dick its very skinny and kinda short lols

Hes short

Hes a little douchey

Hes not great at getting to know me and asking good questions

Kissing him is eh

Hes not really brought me around to friends

Its all moving really fast and it feels fake

I now need to go get STD tested because I slept with him after he told me he had herpes that was basically untraceable but still????

It doesn’t feel as good now

I regret sleeping with him

I don’t want to tell anyone

I’m feeling a little bit like I wish we didn’t hook up bc I was really saying no and you did it anyways and I didn’t fully have time to think about the herpes thing and it’s just a lot at once. I definitely fucked hp but it’s hard when you want to and the person is so aggressively trying

RULES

- NO HANGING OUT WITH JACK ON THE WEEKEND

- MAYBE GIVE HIM WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY SPOT

- TRY NOT TO TEXT AND SNAP

- DONT TRY AS MUCH TO SWOON HIM

- BE SOBER HANGING OUT AND SEE WHATS GOOD

- NEVER PLAN ON HIM

- CONTINUE TO ASK FOR MORE

- CONTINUE TO DATE OTHER PEOPLE AND MAKE HIM SWEAT

- DO NOT FUCK HIM AGAIN FOR A WHILE

- TELL HIM IT WAS GREAT HOOKING UP BUT IT ALSO FREAKED ME OUT A BIT AS I WASNT TRULY READY AND I WANT TO TAKE A HALF STEP BACK

-

I want to talk to him because it’s fun, exciting, something to do

The attention is great. The ego stroke is great. There’s a lot of chemistry

He has a cool life and a really cool circle. Almost intimidatingly cool. And he’s rich and is only getting more rich

And honestly it’s positively impactful with my career and La clout oops

BUT

He’s short babe.

He’s blonde and blue eye literally opposite of your type

He is a little cringe / insecure

He could be immature

He only wears AF1s

You’d have short kids

I’m at a place now where I’m scared that I will overlook things like immature comments and red flags because I’m either playing it cool or not reactive in the moment

- I need to remember to protect and stand up for myself. And be my own advocate.

What do I want right now?

I want to date around and network and try a bunch of things and meet a bunch of people and travel and get taken on trips and opportunities and have really fun experiences until the fall where I fall head over heels for someone.

Why do you not feel like I haven’t given you reassurance?

I want to be able to flirt with people

I want to be able to go out on dates

I want to feel totally open

But I also want to flirt and talk to jack and go to cool things with him.

I find myself in situationships very easily

Wasn’t meant to be heavy conversation or one I wanted to have this fast. You caught a FT from your ex, cracked jokes about it, and whether it’s justified or not that hurt me

All I wanted was like an ounce of reassurance you were taking this seriously and not entertaining your exes simultaneously. Didn’t ask you to commit to a single thing

I’m crazy about you but I don’t think it makes sense to keep seeing eachother

FT him Sunday and be like

I was thinking about you a lot this weekend

How did you feel not talking

You still need to get to know this guy!! And see if it’s just lust or what’s going on??

Pros:

You get to talk to him

You get to hangout again

You get to see him at events maybe hang w them all after

You get to flex dating one of the owners when they open in august

Sick dates

Good for career

Cons:

You can potentially get yourself into a relationship too early

You can hurt yourself and him

You can devalue yourself

Ruin the purity of the relationship with being toxic or jealous

You’ll have to put a cap on hanging out and taking and create intentional distance which could negatively impact the relationship and us

It could get messy and painful

Hit him back up when you’re ready to settle down and have more clarity and had your fun?

I DONT OWE HIM ANYTHING

IT IS UP TO ME TO MAKE THE DECISION TO SHUT MYSELF OFF FROM OTHER PEOPLE OR NOT. NOT FOR HIM TO DECIDE

YOU DONT EVEN REALLY KNOW HIM YET

Option 1. Let him have his summer. Let me have mine. Meet people. Go out in dates without guilt. Have a hot girl summer. Reconnect at the night market in September and start dating again with a renewed passion, clean slate and more clarity/time.

- realistically I think it would be hard to imagine we go cold turkey until September. Would that burn a bridge? Could he find someone in the meantime?

Option 2. Text him or FaceTime him. Ease him a bit. Keep talking, and hang out more casually. This one has a lot of (?) and TBDs as it could go many different ways and has unforeseeable results. We will have to show restraint. This would be to have fun, keep getting to know him and see how I feel - and figure out if it’s just lust and excitement or if there’s potential for something more

You can’t go back once you’ve given it

ICE HIM. You’re going to have to be brutal just once and you’re not going to like it but if you wanna play the game the best you need to pull back and create distance a bit so he doesn’t think he has your body.

Remember the first date when you were like eh maybe one more date

Remove the fancy dates and pretend world and sexual tension - is it something you’re into?

Remember when he said you may need to drive (he was joking but still) and missed a bunch of exits

You can talk a bit this week but when you’re in Michigan keep it sparse. Tap in to Michigan and bring home. Get grounded. Journal about who you are and who you want to be and main characteristics and pillars that are important to you.

Use Snapchat here and there. Ice him a bit ?

It’s unhealthy how much we are in each other this early on

Like I already like him more than I liked jack

But imagine it was a big ass man with a buzz cut

For you I am now a tongue guy just know that

And wyd rn. Drinking all this wine got me thinking about you…..

I’m trying to balance playing it cool while wanting to see you

Your pilates fit today just got my head all fucked up

As long as you’re in a bikini I’m down

And that’s crazy considering you’re out of my league….

And I’m writing some crazy shit to you drunkly over holiday

I’m pretty drunk rn and started thinking about you

[spudmcloughlin]

I'm doing pretty well. How are you doing? You seem to have a lot going on right now.

Note: this is way longer and more personal than I thought I would be so like......... I hope you're sittingThat's good, I'm still not doing too well but quite a bit better than the beginning of the week. I haven't cried since Wednesday so I guess that's progress. I had a final in philosophy that I bombed, 58% which brought me to a 66% in the class and if he doesn't drop my lowest essay grade I'll have to take the class again and pay for it :/ so that's happening. But there's nothing I can do about it now so whatever. I have a bunch of exams next week and I'm so not ready for algebra. Also me and the girl I like have been talking about getting back together and I'm leaving it up to her but she's having such a hard time deciding for sure and I don't know what I could say to convince her to do it that wouldn't be incredibly pushy and wouldn't make me feel like I'm forcing it on her. Plus I can't use my data for the rest of the month so even if we wanted to talk on snap during the school day I can't. I don't know it feels like everything around me is stressing me out to the point where I don't care about anything. I'm not upset about the philosophy thing, I don't feel upset anymore about the relationship even though I feel like I should, I pretty stopped caring what I wear to school by Tuesday and wore the same sweatpants 3 days in a row and almost just wore my pajamas one day before my mom stopped me, I even feel like I don't want to do chemistry. And I really really love chemistry and I could do it forever but I just don't want to right now. I hope this weekend eases all of this because I'm just so tired and done with everything. And I keep saying I'll be okay but I don't know if I will. Honestly your asks have been like my main source of comfort this week aside from the occasional "you'll be alright" and hug from my mom, I don't know what it is but seeing the little 1 on my inbox makes me feel like someone cares enough to listen. Even if you don't even read this all the way it just makes me feel a little better. Thank you anon. 💞wow this could meet essay word count requirements haha oops

Life has not generally been straightforward for Frances Arnold, the California College of Technological know-how chemical engineering professor who shared in the Nobel Prize for Chemistry Wednesday. And it’s not all about getting a girl in a man’s environment.

Arnold’s earn came as no shock to anybody who is aware of her and her do the job. She is a weighty-hitter by any measure, perfectly identified for inventing a way to tweak evolution to manipulate enzymes.

But Arnold has also been pressured to navigate a individual landscape of severe adversity though forging her stellar occupation. Her initial spouse, biochemical engineer James Bailey, died of cancer in 2001.

Her previous partner, Andrew Lange, was a outstanding cosmologist who died by suicide in 2010.

Arnold was identified with breast cancer in 2005. And in 2016 her son William Lange-Arnold died in an accident.

“So many things in my lifestyle have gone awry,” Arnold mentioned in a speech she gave in 2017 at Caltech.

“Nine months back my beloved son, William, died unintentionally. He would have finished his junior calendar year in higher education this 7 days. His brothers and I encounter a profound, ongoing reduction, and every day I consider of the amazing person he was, and would have been.”

But Arnold managed and thrived as a solitary mother and a lady in a planet greatly dominated by adult males. On Wednesday, she grew to become only the fifth female to gain a Nobel Prize for Chemistry, and a single of only 17 ladies to gain a person of the science-based Nobel Prizes, which include things like Physiology or Medicine, Chemistry and Physics. Since their commence in 1901, Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 844 gentlemen and 49 females.

A person of the other winners, Donna Strickland, shared the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday. Her lifetime tale could not be a lot more unique from Arnold’s.

Strickland, a physicist who specializes in laser technologies at Canada’s College of Waterloo, retains a lower profile, is still an associate professor late in her profession and didn’t even have a Wikipedia webpage until eventually the prize was introduced Tuesday.

Both equally girls, nevertheless, are uncommon illustrations of recognition in two fields utterly dominated by males.

We are living in a environment in which a female virtually won a Nobel prize just before becoming promoted to whole professor and you all question why gals leave academia

— Julie Blommaert (@Julie_B92) October 2, 2018

Strickland was shocked to learn that she was only the 3rd girl to ever have gained the Nobel Prize in Physics. The other two are Marie Curie, who received it in 1903, and Maria Goeppert-Mayer, who gained in 1963 —55 years in the past.

“Is that all, definitely? I assumed there may have been much more,” Strickland stated at a information convention Tuesday.

Strickland’s operate has led to the enhancement of the pulsed lasers that are utilized, among other points, for the laser operation that has restored clear vision to tens of millions of people today.

Arnold’s perform has spawned many patents and businesses. She has gained various prizes, helped found biofuel firm Gevo and sits on the corporate board of gene sequencing corporation Illumina Inc.

“If they experienced a distinctive Nobel laureate for Nobel laureates, she’d be that human being,” said Carolyn Bertozzi, a chemistry professor at Stanford College who phone calls Arnold the two a close friend and a colleague.

“Frances is an very robust, extraordinary singularity of a human being.”

Arnold pioneered a new method that utilised random genetic mutations to build custom enzymes, which are the biological compounds that ability chemical reactions in living organisms.

“What Frances figured out how to do was to consider enzymes that exist in mother nature and then evolve them to catalyze new reactions that never ever have happened on their own. For the reason that of them, we can now make new molecules,” Bertozzi said.

“She figured out how to generate evolution in a exam tube. She’s like her possess Mom Mother nature.”

While undertaking this get the job done, Arnold has acted as a mentor to more youthful guys and girls.

“She figured out how to push evolution in a examination tube. She’s like her have Mom Mother nature.”

She was the initially female engineering professor that Hadley Sikes, now an associate professor in chemical engineering at MIT, experienced ever viewed.

“I hadn’t experienced any examples of what a woman professor seemed like. In my graduate Ph.D office there weren’t any ladies school customers,” stated Sikes, who earned her diploma at Stanford College.

This deficiency of feminine supervisors helps describe the dearth of women in science, engineering, engineering and arithmetic in normal, Sikes and others stated.

There are much less and fewer excuses for this, said Bertozzi. “The difficulty isn’t that women are not interested in science. They are,” she mentioned.

For decades, it was argued that gals only had not produced the very same achievements that guys experienced. But what about Rosalind Franklin, the expert in x-ray crystallography who aided explore the double helix structure of DNA? The Nobel prize for that discovery went to her 3 male collaborators: James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins, in 1962. Franklin experienced died in 1958 and Nobels are not awarded to folks who have died.

And before this year, Jocelyn Bell Burnell of Britain’s Oxford College won public recognition with the $3 million Unique Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. Burnell identified a style of star called a pulsar in 1967 as a graduate college student but her male supervisor gained the Nobel for the discovery in 1974.

“I feel the trouble is that the more mature you get, the additional, for ladies at least, you start off to see the planet as it is,” Bertozzi explained. “That’s the turnoff. It’s when they are older that the headwinds start off raising.”

Thank you every person! I enjoy this supportive neighborhood. I’m surprised, and now I just have to get home from Dallas…

— Frances Arnold (@francesarnold) October 3, 2018

Arnold did not permit this occur to her.

“I consider about all the troubles that Frances has faced and overcome, and in the deal with of individuals issues she didn’t question her possess worthy of or the value of the initiatives she was working on,” said Sikes.

“She’s usually adopted her personal path.”

Arnold, the daughter of a prominent nuclear physicist dwelling in the Pittsburgh suburbs, hitchhiked to Washington, D.C. to protest versus the Vietnam War in the 1970s and moved into her very own apartment whilst even now in higher college, according to various media studies. She labored as a cocktail waitress and a taxi driver, in accordance to a profile in the Los Angeles Moments.

“I’ve been referred to as pushy and aggressive and all the detrimental phrases that are not often utilized to adult men with the identical characteristics. But it would not trouble me,” she said.

Arnold utilizes evolution in her do the job and says it is her inspiration, as perfectly.

“To endure and even prosper in a altering world, nature delivers yet another fantastic lesson: the survivors are these who at the the very least adapt to transform, or even improved study to reward from alter and develop intellectually and individually. That usually means mindful listening and continuous understanding,” she stated in her 2017 speech at Caltech.

Even for all those who don’t know Arnold personally, her occupation has been an inspiration.

“She does appear like the definition of resilience,” mentioned Beth Linas, an epidemiology researcher at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg College of Community Well being.

“This is the first female to acquire a chemistry Nobel in my lifetime,” Linas added. “It’s about time.”

Prince Harry Feels 'Very Protective' of Meghan Markle, Focusing on Their 'Special Day' (Exclusive)

Prince Harry is making fiancee Meghan Markle his number one concern amid Meghan's headline-making drama with her father, Thomas Markle, a source tells ET.

On Tuesday, Thomas told TMZ that he would not be attending the royal wedding because he has to have surgery on Wednesday morning after suffering a heart attack a week ago. Earlier that day, Thomas told the website that he had changed his mind about attending the wedding and walking Meghan down the aisle, after initially saying he wasn't going to due to a photo scandal in which The Daily Mail reported he was staging paparazzi photos of himself getting ready for the wedding.

According to the source, Prince Harry is making Meghan's well-being a priority throughout the scandal.

"Harry wants nothing more than for Meghan to enjoy this meaningful time in their lives, but there has been so much turmoil over her father and his plans to give her away," the source says. "In recent years she and her father haven't been close, but she loves him dearly and would mean a lot to her if he was there for support." 

"Meghan isn't angry at her father and she understands what happened to him regarding the photos, but of course she wishes it hadn't happened," the source also notes.

But according to the source, Prince Harry has been especially "hurt and angered" by the behavior of Meghan's half-siblings, Samantha Grant and Thomas Markle Jr. In particular, 53-year-old Samantha has been openly critical of Meghan in the press, and has claimed that she was behind the photos that were allegedly staged of Thomas, explaining her intention was to "benefit the royal family that everyone looked good and they depict you as you are." Samantha is also publishing a book about Meghan titled The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister.

"[Prince Harry has been telling friends it has been] unnecessarily cruel coverage of Meghan," the source says. "He is so upset."

Media coverage is an especially sensitive issue for the 33-year-old royal, the source notes, given his personal history.

"Harry has never felt at ease with press coverage because he watched his mother shy away from the cameras and now that his fiancee has been so negatively affected, it's hard for him," the source explains.

"While meeting each other has been a dream come true, the embarrassment Meghan has endured because of her family's openness with the press has been incredibly trying," the source adds. "Harry loves Meghan and has felt very protective of how she and her family have been portrayed throughout their engagement. He feels much of the coverage of her family has been very hurtful."

Despite the drama, the source says Prince Harry is choosing to focus on the couple's big day on Saturday.

"While he feels like speaking publicly about it, he doesn't want to make waves before the ceremony," the source explains about Prince Harry's reaction so far. "He realizes he needs to refrain from the negative at the moment and focus on his love for Meghan and their special day." 

"They are both doing everything to focus on their love for one another and trying to make the experience the fairy tale it should be," the source adds. "Their friends are so excited because they have amazing chemistry and are perfect for one another. You can tell that they truly feel lucky to have found each other. ... The planning hasn't been easy, but they are so excited to finally tie the knot."

Meanwhile, one person we can definitely count on to be at the wedding is Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, whom the 36-year-old actress has always had a close relationship with. Doria was spotted making her way to Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday and according to a source, traveled with a palace guard to London.

Keep up with all of ET's coverage of the royal wedding here as we count down to May 19.
