Some WIPs I will hopefully finish! The Iremano Borgia AU is my guilty pleasure

[aphrditee]

Angelus is so great, like he was forced to make out with Buffy and it was so emotionally life changing he decided he wanted to off himself and take the world with him.

Like we know he enjoys carnal pleasures, he has kissed and fucked (Darla, Dru, Spike) but having to live with the memory of loving/kissing Buffy while taking a backseat to a Ghost makes him suicidal 😭😭😭 talk about not being able to deal. He’s such a drama queen omg. I’m 100% convinced he was going to change Buffy, like make her his Dru 2.0 but he chickened out because he knew unlike Dru and Darla he would have been vampire!Buffy’s BITCH.

*DO NOT REPOST ANYWHERE*

- You sighed for what felt like the hundredth time in the last ten minutes,”come on Frankie! Hurry up or we’re going to be late.” Frankie and you had been invited to a get together by Pope. You would think Frankie would be the one down in the living room telling you to hurry with him being in the military, but nope he wasn’t.

Frankie is known for always making y’all late to everything, so Pope would understand. Pulling your phone out to kill time knowing Frankie would probably be down in five minutes or more. Who knows with him? You were so focused on the game you were playing that you didn’t hear his footsteps as Frankie walked down the stairs.

He called your name but he got no response, so he walked into the living room to see you slumped on the couch grumply playing on your phone. He smiled sweetly at your grumpy state then walked up behind the couch and slowly wrapped his arms around your shoulders. Also putting his head between your head and shoulder leaving feathery kisses on your neck. He heard you sigh into the kisses, but instead of going further; you pushed him away and turned your head towards him and gave him a look.

“Frankie we can’t. We are already late as it is.” He pouted but it stopped and turned into a smile after you lightly kissed his lips before getting off the couch. He checked you out as you walked over to the key rack, you could feel his eyes on your body as you were grabbing the keys and your wallet. You raised your hand behind your back and flipped him off. Frankie scoffed and giggled at your antics. His eyes followed you as you walked out the door and soon he followed behind you.

Opening the door to the door to your car Frankie sighed “Baby… I can drive. It’s safer.” You looked at him and gave him a look that meant ‘shut up and leave me alone’ then he put his hands up in surrender getting into the car. You slowly got into the car and started it but before taking it out of park you turned your head towards Frankie “I’m okay. Driving isn’t going to hurt us, Panchito. You need to stop being overprotective. I’m a big girl.”

He went to argue and you cut him off by putting your hand on his mouth and raised your eyebrows daring him to say something. His shoulders slouched in defeat “I know, mi amor. I just want you both to be okay,” he said, reaching to rub his hand over your pregnant belly. He leaned over the middle console and kissed your forehead. ”Come on, let's go. We’re going to be late,” he said after pulling away. You scoffed and lightly hit his shoulder, the only reaction you got was his giggles that flowed out of his mouth effortlessly. His giggles continued as you pulled out of the driveway. - Arriving at Pope’s house, you could hear the happy screaming of children from the back yard. Frankie looked over to you with a smile as both walked towards the back gate. He wrapped his arm around your shoulders as you walked into the back yard. Pope heard the close and looked up “Hermano!” Pope yelled, walking over to give his war buddy a hug. They act like they haven’t seen each other in weeks, in reality they saw each other yesterday when he brought Marisol to spend the night with Pope’s little girl.

You walked away more like waddled away from them letting them enjoy their little bromance moment. Pope would hug you when they got done talking, like always. Finding an empty seat to rest your pregnant body, you heard “mam” and felt a force being out around your stomach. You looked down to see Marisol smiling up at you. “Hola, mi vida,” you said to your smiling child, “ Your pops is over there talking to Uncle P if you want to say hi, baby.”

After saying that her head popped up from its spot looking to where her dad was standing. She booked into a run before knocking herself into his legs. Frankie felt the weight on his legs and he looked down to see his little girl. He quickly picked her up and twirled her around. This caused Marisol to go into a fit of giggles and those giggles were followed by Pope’s and Frankie’s hearty laughs. After the giggles subsided, the two men went back to talking like normal. - Eventually the two men came over to where you were sitting. Pope came over to you and brought you into a tight hug, “Hey, little sister. How’s Panchito number two doing?” Pope asked. You looked up at your childhood friend smiling at his antics. “You’re hugging me too tight Santiago. The baby and I are perfectly fine.” He cheekily looked at you and slowly went to put his hand on your growing stomach. At the instant touch the baby started to kick causing Santiago’s smile to grow wider.

Frankie saw the smile on Pope’s face and it reminded him the first time he felt Marisol kick. The joy that spread through his face as he giggled at the new feeling. He knew that Pope and his wife were trying to have another kid but they were having a few problems. Frankie knew that you being pregnant brought some sense of comfort to them. He watched you gleefully with Santiago and his wife, his smile growing wider by the second. He looked over to where his daughter’s laughter could be heard throughout the yard as she was playing with her grandpa. The laughter and chaos of the people he called his family enlightened his world full of bright sunshine.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò better sleep with BOTH eyes open after he links Hillary to Pizzagate... - Revolver News

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò better sleep with BOTH eyes open after he links Hillary to Pizzagate…

January 10, 2024 

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past 8 or so years and don’t know what Pizzagate is, here’s a brief explanation according to the left-wing site Wikipedia:

“Pizzagate” is a conspiracy theory that went viral during the 2016 United States presidential election cycle, falsely claiming that the New York City Police Department had discovered a pedophilia ring linked to members of the Democratic Party while searching through Anthony Weiner’s emails.

The issue with the media and the left’s swift dismissal of the theory as a “conspiracy” is that there does seem to be a grain or two of truth to it. Without getting into too much “pizza,” the truth of the matter is that an alarming number of elites are being apprehended for child pornography and trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was operating a full-scale pedophile ring, and according to court records, Bill Clinton was allegedly knee-deep in it and preferred his girls “young.”

Now, this doesn’t prove Pizzagate by any means. However, it certainly lends credibility to certain aspects of the theory that suggest elites are involved in depraved activities concerning children.

The Independent:

Billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein once told one of his victims that Bill Clinton “likes them young”, according to dramatic testimony revealed in court documents unsealed for the very first time.

Dozens of Epstein associates were unmasked on Wednesday after a judge ordered the unsealing of court documents in a now-settled lawsuit brought by abuse victim Virginia Giuffre against Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Among the hundreds of pages of filings, another victim Johanna Sjoberg spoke about what she knew about Mr Clinton’s ties to Epstein as part of a 2016 deposition that also made allegations against Prince Andrew.

Under sworn testimony, she said that Epstein had told her the former president liked girls “young”.

“[Epstein] said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,” she testified.

When asked if she knew Mr Clinton was a friend of Epstein, she said: “I knew he had dealings with Bill Clinton. I did not know they were friends until I read the Vanity Fair article about them going to Africa together.”

The Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell case has brought the “Pizzagate” narrative back into the spotlight, and now, with the release of the Epstein files, it has gained even more momentum.

That’s why it comes as no surprise that a video clip has been circulating online featuring Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who openly discusses Pizzagate and doesn’t shy away from naming people like Hillary Clinton and John Podesta.

Now, we always approach this type of thing with a healthy amount of skepticism, but we like to share it with you so you can draw your own conclusions.

The truth is, when it comes to Hillary and her husband, she has earned a notorious reputation for treating Bill’s accusers like second-class citizens and attempting to silence their voices. This is precisely what Juanita Broaddrick, one of Clinton’s rape accusers, says happened to her.

Needless to say, Hillary doesn’t have the most glowing “pro-woman” reputation. So, Archbishop Viganò held nothing back in his “revelations” about Pizzagate and his direct references to Hillary Clinton. Again, there’s no proof of this, but many people have very strong opinions.

And truth be told, it has us a bit worried. Perhaps the archbishop should sleep with both of his eyes open?

We may never fully uncover the truth about Pizzagate, or even the depths of the Epstein case and similar incidents, but it’s essential to encourage people to remain engaged in the conversation and seek out information for themselves. After all, that’s the American way.

They can't outrun hell.

Magic Tree house my beloved...

@sun-undone proposed this counter poll and I am also extremely curious.

[saint-courtesan]

We are all upset at British monarchy, many countries under rule of the crown want to finally free themselves, many protests big or silent are being held after death of parasite queen-

Good. Now let’s do this when the pope dies.

[cheerfullycatholic]

And now I have the joy to announce that the 25th and 26th of May next year, we will celebrate the first World Day of Children in Rome. The initiative, organized by the Dicastery for Culture and Education, responds to the question: What type of world do we want to transmit to the children who are growing up? Like Jesus, we want to put children at the centre and take care of them.

under the weather and re-reading his dark materials, never gonna understand how tf certain religious people get so mad at the critique of the organizations of religion in certain fictional works

[castratedvader]

insane of neil jordan to write all that as a fundamentally normal love story. like you have other media where the redacted (sub)text IS problematic because it makes the characters Worse. it makes them have unhealthy insane relationships. it makes them want to bite each other. meanwhile cesare and lucrezia are literally normal??? theyre in love! hed die and kill for her yet they both marry other people and are annoyed by it like anyone whose lover is in a relationship w someone else would be.
