Homecoming Queen: A School Spirits Story

Part 2: Letting Go

Wally Clark x Reader

Part 1

Y/N is letting go of what happened to her, or so she thought, when she sees her memorial being set up she realizes she wasn’t truly letting go of her death. One person though has continuously been there since she died and is making her death bearable.

4 Days After Hoco Dance

I sat in the gym and watched as people I had never seen before set things up for my funeral. They carried in flower arrangement after flower arrangement setting them up ornately. Then they set up an easel and had a large portrait of me, my senior yearbook picture to be exact. I looked perfect in that picture. My hair was curled and framed my face just right, the strand of pearls hung daintily around my neck and the black velveteen shirt hung off my shoulders slightly, the smile on my face was one of the brightest I had ever seen in a picture, I was so excited to finally be taking this picture. It’s a shame that the first time I ever saw it was at my own funeral. Finally the people wheeled in a metallic blue coffin, which could only be mine, they opened the coffin and arranged a few things seeming to make my body presentable. They finished off the set up with a framed Split River number 32 basketball jersey and then they left the gym.

I wasn’t aware that I was crying until I felt a tear fall from my cheek and land on my hands that were crossed on my lap. I thought I was starting to come to terms with my new life or should I say my death but seeing this setup brought back the stinging pain I thought I was working through. Truth be told I wasn’t ready to die, I had so many things I wanted to do after graduation. The tears kept coming, more rapidly at this point and by now I was full blown sobbing as I sat in the upper deck of the bleachers looking out at the funeral setup.

“Hey there you are,” Wally called as he made his way over to me to sit down. “Y/N what’s wrong?”

“That’s what’s wrong,” I choke out as I point to the gym floor. “I thought I was starting to accept this.”

“It takes time your death is still fresh,” he says as he wipes a tear from my face. “It’s okay to not be okay.”

“I’m sorry,” I cried as I started to lean into Wally. “I feel like all you have done since I got here is deal with my pity parties.”

“It’s all going to be okay,” he wrapped his arms around me pulling me into him. “I don’t mind your pity parties, it's normal to feel like this. I felt they same way you do right now. When I died I was depressed for weeks.”

“It’s hard to think about you being depressed,” I laughed. “You give off total golden retriever energy, you’re always so happy.”

“Golden retriever energy huh?” He chuckled, pulling me in closer to him. “You’ve been hanging around Rhonda haven’t you?”

“Only a little bit here and there,” I smiled up at him. “Thank you Wally.”

“For what?”

“For always being here and comforting me when I have one of these breakdowns.”

“You don’t have to thank me,” he stroked my arm tenderly. “Seeing you vulnerable when you have always been so strong pained me to see.”

“What do you mean?” I asked confused, “you’ve only ever seen the vulnerable me.”

“That’s not true,” he said, grabbing my hand with his. “I’ve been stuck here for.” Wally was cut off by Mrs. Sheridan’s voice echoing over the speakers in the gym.

“Thank you everyone for attending the celebration of life of Y/N YL/N.” Mrs. Sheridan spoke into the microphone on the podium.

“Do you want to get out of here?” Wally asks, “watching your own funeral isn’t easy.”

“No I need to see this.” I said standing, “maybe this will bring me closure, plus it’s my last chance to see my mama and brother.” I began to make my way down to the first floor of the gym. In the front row of chairs sat my mama and Lincoln both clad in black clothing, on my mothers lap sat my letterman jacket. Her fist clenched tightly to it as the tears rolled down her cheeks. Lincoln had his arm around her shoulder and he was doing his best to stay strong for her.

My heart crumbled seeing them like this, I sat on the hardwood floor in front of my Mama and laid my head over in her lap. I would give anything for her to stroke my hair once more and comfort me but she can’t. I laid my hand on top of hers and laid there for what seemed like forever. My mother stirred beneath me bringing me back to reality.

“In honor of Y/N we would like to officially retire her jersey.” Coach Marshall spoke into the microphone. “She was our fearless team captain and one heck of a ball player she was going places and this season was going to seal that deal for her.” He had so much faith in my abilities. “Please Ms. YL/N we would like to bestow her remaining jersey to you.”

My mother stood and my hand fell from her, I grasped for her once more but to no avail I could not touch her. In my grip though I was graced with my letterman even though my mother still held it firmly in her hands as she approached the stage. How was that possible? How could I have my jacket when she still had it in her hands?

“Thank you coach,” my mother said as she approached the podium. “Retiring Y/N’s jersey is a great honor and thank you for your kind words about her.”

My mom continued to give a speech about me but my focus had shifted to my brother. The strength he showed earlier had dissipated, tears are slowly rolling down his cheek. I have never seen Lincoln cry before, he has always been the tough one of the two of us. “You have always been an amazing big brother,” I cried with him. “I love you bubba,” I hugged him even though he couldn’t feel it.

The funeral ended shortly after my mothers speech and she returned to her seat. I slid my arms into my letterman and then I proceeded to sit in the now empty seat by my mom. “Thank you for being the best mama I could have ever asked for.” I said, wrapping my arms around her. “I sure am proud to be your daughter.” Looking between my mama and Lincoln I bared these last words, “take care of each other y’all are all y’all have left I love y’all.”

I stood from my seat and went to approach my casket, my body laid peacefully in my metallic blue casket. My mom had me dressed in her favorite dress of mine, a light blue lace dress with cap sleeves. She had my hair curled and made sure to put my class ring on my finger and my favorite necklace on me. Knowing what I knew now after the incident with my jacket I took my ring and necklace and put them on me. “You lived a good life sweetheart,” I said to my corpse, “but now it’s time to live your death.”

I turned and walked out of the gym, I had closed this chapter and now was ready to accept this new life, I was ready to accept my death and make the best of it.

——————————————————————

Wally’s POV

I couldn’t leave the gym, I didn’t want to leave Y/N alone. So I stayed in the upper level seats and watched her at her own funeral. I watched her go straight to her mama and sit on the floor with her head placed on her mama’s lap. My heart broke for her knowing this was it. She was savoring every moment with her family. Her mama got up and made her way to the podium where she accepted the jersey of Y/N’s that wasn’t framed. She gave her speech and I watched Y/N have her moment with her brother. I watched her exchange with her brother but I listened to the speech her mama gave. She said everything I had come to know about Y/N over the years she’s been roaming these halls. She was a fierce competitor, a loyal friend, stronger than she knew, and the kindest soul to have graced these halls.

Her mama finished her speech and returned to her seat. Y/N sat next to her and spoke unheard words to her. She then looked between her brother and mama and said something else before she got up and walked to her casket where she stood for a few moments and pulled a couple things out of her then she turned and headed for the gym exit. Her chiffon train of her dress flowed behind her as she made her exit. She looked like a different person as she walked out as if she was letting go of the past and ready to move on.

I gave her fifteen minutes before I went to find her. I checked the cafeteria, the field, the library, and the halls but she was nowhere to be found. None of the others had seen her, she was nowhere to be found, I had checked everywhere. Defeated, I sat down on the floor of the hall when it hit me. I had checked everywhere but one place, how could I forget about the auditorium? That’s where we had kissed. How could that slip my mind when I was looking for her? I quickly stood up and made my way to the auditorium, once there I burst through the doors and sure enough there she sat on the stage, she was gorgeous as ever sitting in her letterman and she had changed out of her dress, she was now in jeans and a basketball t-shirt.

“You alright?” I asked, sitting down beside her.

“Shockingly yes, I made my peace.” She smiled, “I said my goodbyes to my family and my former self. I'm ready to move forward.”

“I’m happy for you,” I grabbed her hand. “You deserve to be at peace with what happened”

“Thank you Wally,” she squeezed my hand. “You have been a big part of getting me through this. You've been my shoulder to lean on and I am forever grateful.”

“I’ll always be there if you ever need me.”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Anything.”

“What were you going to say earlier about seeing me not vulnerable?” She asked softly.

“I was going to say that I had been stuck here for 30 years.” I sighed, “ I’ve seen many people walk these halls but no one has ever been like you.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve watched you roam these halls for four years, I’ve seen you put others above yourself even when you were falling apart.” I looked into her eyes and confusion was all on her face, “I watched you hold yourself together when your life at home was crumbling to help someone who’s problems weren’t anywhere near as big as yours. I’ve seen just how strong you are before I ever even met you.” I couldn’t tear my eyes from hers. I could see the tears welling in them. “I’ve seen how loyal you are, I’ve seen what kind of leader you are and I saw the type of person you are well before you died.”

“I don’t even know what to say to that,” she sniffled.

“I’m sorry if I upset you.” I pulled my hand away unsure of how she was feeling. “I honestly never thought I would ever actually meet you but the type of person you were caught my attention.”

“So you’ve watched me since I started going here?”

“Not in a stalker type of way,” I said standing to my feet, I had said too much and creeped her out. “I mainly watched your games and only ever watched in the halls when we happened to be in them together.” I turned to walk out of the auditorium.

“Wait,” she said as I heard footsteps approach me. “Why are you leaving?”

“I figured I creeped you out.” My head hung low, “I thought it was best if I left.”

“You haven’t creeped me out,” she said, reaching for my hand. “Things just make sense now.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ve seen countless games, and heard god knows how many conversations I’ve had in the halls.” She chuckled, “you already knew ‘Iris’ was my favorite song before I told you when we danced on homecoming night.”

“I did,” I looked down at her. “You always listened to it before games and I overheard you tell a friend it was your favorite once.” I was extremely embarrassed but I couldn’t stop the words that came next. “I liked you, I wanted to get to know you but I knew it wasn’t possible, I never thought we’d actually be where we are now.

She looked up at me through her long lashes with a sweet smile on her face. “Are you saying you had a crush on me when I was alive?”

“I still do,” the words fell from my mouth before I even processed what I was saying.

As soon as the words escaped my lips, I felt small hands on both sides of my face pulling me down a few inches until her soft lips were on mine.

——————————————————————

Y/N’s POV

“I still do,” Wally said and I couldn’t stop myself. Both of my hands were on either side of his face pulling him down towards me. Ever since we kissed on homecoming night I have been hoping for another opportunity to do it again. Our lips touch as if I’ve taken him by surprise; he doesn't kiss me back.

“I’m sorry that was much smoother in my head,” I say as I pull away, letting my hands fall from his face.

“Don’t be sorry,” he placed his hands on my waist and pulled me into him. “It just took me by surprise is all.”

He dipped his head down to meet my lips once again. Instinctively I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood slightly on my tip toes. He tightened his arms around my waist pulling me even closer to him. This kiss was much different than the first we shared. That kiss was soft and sweet, this one was full of longing and desire.

“I’ve been wanting to do that again since our first kiss,” he said breathlessly, breaking our kiss.

“So have I,” I smiled up at him. “So you wanted to get to know me huh?”

“Yes I did,” he said, grabbing my hand. “I still do.”

“Then let’s go,” I said as I led him out of the auditorium and to a plot of land that overlooks the fields. “This is where I’d come when I needed some time to myself, it was always so peaceful here.”

“It does seem very peaceful.” He said looking around the quaint area.

“I frequented this spot often when my parents were going through their divorce.” I said as I sat on the soft grass. “This was the only place I found comfort during that time, my parents were at each others throats and Lincoln and I were always caught in the middle.”

“I’m sorry you both had to go through that,” he said, tightening his grip on my hand comfortingly.

“It’s alright, that made me who I am today and I wouldn’t change a thing.” I leaned my head on his shoulder, “so what do you want to know?”

“Let’s start off easy,” he smiled. "What's your favorite color?”

“It’s turquoise, what’s yours?”

“I didn’t know the questions were getting turned around on me,” he chuckled. “It’s blue and my favorite song is ‘Don’t stop Believin’.”

“Good choice,” I giggled. “So this one is heavy, what exactly happened to you?”

“I was laid out by a tackle in the homecoming game my senior year.” He shuddered remembering his final moments. “Coach pulled me out to rest my knee, I was sitting on the bench when my mama came down to the field, she wanted to know what was going on,” he sighed and I knew where this was going. “She convinced me to tell my coach I was okay and to get back into the game, she said I could rest when I was dead and that rest doesn’t get scholarships.” The hurt in his eyes was evident and a tear began to roll down his cheek. “Coach put me back in and I was rushing for a touchdown, I was nearly in the end zone when I was taken down, I heard a crack and everything went black. I didn’t feel any pain, but I only wished I could’ve scored one more touchdown for my mama.”

My heart was in my throat, “Wally I’m so sorry,” I choked. “If your mom would’ve just let you rest, you wouldn’t have died.”

“You’re right but you know everything happens for a reason and I’ve accepted that.” He put his arm around me, “so what’s your favorite movie?”

“Titanic and yours?”

“Raiders of the lost ark, speaking of movies, we have movie nights around here from time to time. Do you think maybe you’d want to go to one with me as my date?”

“Wally Clark, are you asking me on a date?”

I said looking up at him. “Of course I would love to be your date to one of the movie nights.”

“Hell yeah.” He kissed the top of my head. “You know I’ve enjoyed this.”

“So have I Wally.”

We sat together just enjoying each other's company until night time had fallen upon the school. “Wally, do you think we’d have gotten along this well if we were alive in the same lifetime?” I asked.

“I don’t know.” He responded, “but I’ll take this lifetime any day.” He kissed my temple.

I don’t know exactly what is going on between Wally and I. I know that I am falling for this lovable football player hard and fast, but for now I’m content with where we’re at. He makes being dead much more bearable than it would have been without him.

OOR 2002 - Nr 10 - Rammstein interview

Rammstein

Last December they played three sold-out converts in Amsterdam's HMH, this year they are one of the closing acts at Pinkpop. In June they will play again in the Netherlands, at the Gelredome in Arnhem, which will undoubtedly also be sold out. Rammstein is no longer a band just for sensation-seeking metal fans. The key to their success? The Germans are masters of calculated provocation. Although they will never admit it themselves.

by Danny Koks

In their own country, their records consistently number one on the album charts, they have played in Australia and Japan, and slowly but surely they have reached the U.S. conquered. There people have fallen en masse for Till Lindemann's captured lyrics, distasteful rolling 'r' and the Teutonic thundering cadence that drives the group. The band from the former GDR has now sold two million CDs there, their songs are played on the radio (unique, since not a single American understands German) and they were nominated for a Grammy. An honor that no German act has received since Milli Vanilli (!). The story of guitarist Richard Bernstein, bassist Olli Riedel, drummer Christoph Schneider, guitarist Paul Landers, singer Till Lindemann and keyboardist Flake Lorenz, all from East Berlin, has to be the most bizarre success story of the last fifteen years. be pop music. Perhaps that period is too short. Perhaps Rammstein's glittering international career is just as bizarre as the story of a dimwit from Flanders who, as Eddy Wally 1), scored a killer hit with Cherie as far away as Russia and China. Perhaps even more bizarre.

"The secret of our success is that we have always stayed true to our style. We have refined it here and there over the years, but our music has always remained typical Rammstein, and I think the audience would like to keep it that way. " That is the measured answer from drummer Christoph Schneider, who sits together with Flake Lorenz at the Rammstein management office in eastern Berlin. There is a reason why their answers during the interview are so short and concise. The band members do not like to give us a glimpse into the kitchen of Rammstein and the language barrier therefore serves as an excellent line of defense (they only do interviews in German).

Of course, the success of this band does not lie in the fact that they have remained true to their style. Thousands of bands all over the world remain true to their style and do not go further than the youth club of the neighboring village. Rammstein is so popular because it is a total concept, similar to the Gesamtkunstwerk as envisioned by German composer Richard Wagner. A multimedia total experience that feeds our subconscious fear and hatred for everything German and at the same time holds up a mirror to show us how ridiculous those gut feelings actually are. Who takes all the cliché images (Blut und Boden) that we have about Germans as true and at the same time makes fun of them in a grotesque way. Rammstein plays that game with a velvet technique and at all levels: music (punishment and martial), lyrics (dark and commanding), artwork (cold and distant) and live show (grand and imposing). The Gründlichkeit with which the six Ossies approach this results in a parody of Germans that can only be described in one way: typically German. Thought out from A to Z, Herr Schneider? Of course not: "Rammstein simply makes loud music. We play what we can play and it sounds the way it sounds."

During the day they all had jobs, after all, 'unemployed' did not exist in the dictionary of the German Democratic Republic. Olli was a plasterer, Christoph installed telephones, Paul was a heating engineer, Till woven baskets and Flake made tools. Just as Father State directed all facets of daily life (a well-known expression in Die Ost was 'every second is one of them', referring to the fact that your neighbor could be an informant for the feared secret service), it also had a strong involvement in the existence of amateur musicians. Since living expenses were cheap, they had it relatively easy: one or two performances at the weekend were enough to finance your hobby. Everyone knew everyone, the music circuit was small and well-organized. Oliver Riedel played in the folk band The Inchtabokatables, while Paul Landers and Flake Lorenz scored a premiere with their punk band Feeling B by being the first East German punk band to release an album. Richard Bernstein had a crossover band. In that capacity, the regime left them relatively alone, although they had to be careful not to come across as subversive and anti-totalitarian in their lyrics. When the Wall falls in 1989, the six's first encounter with the free West takes place in the form of West Germany superstar David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider, Baywatch), who stands on the ruins of the tightly drawn concrete border between East and West sing his hit Looking For Freedom. They have no idea who he is. Four years later, Christoph, Olli, Till and Richard decide to turn their backs on their old, moribund bands and start a new one.

"German bands always try to imitate their American and English colleagues," says Christoph Schneider. "We did that in the early days, by mixing hip-hop with hard guitars. You know, what every band on this planet does. That was mainly Richard's idea, we tried to build on his style. But hip-hop, that just had nothing to do with us. We didn't feel anything about it at all." Yet it is the same Richard Bernstein who said about those early days in the Berliner Morgenpost: "I had the opportunity to go to California and experience the bands we imitated up close. Only then did I realize that culture and climate determine what kind of music people make. I returned to Germany and started writing music that is characteristically German." According to Schneider, that picture requires some nuance. "Richard is the most stubborn of the bunch, we always have the most difficulty convincing him of our ideas, especially in the early days. If he had the sole say, the band would sound much softer and poppier. Only when Paul and Flake joined, our current, martial style was born. They had a punk past. That mentality appealed to us much more, as Germans we could at least get along with punk. Richard wants to take credit for the way we make music, but the fact that we sound so German is above all Paul's merit. In the other bands he played in, he also had highly developed ideas about how a band can distinguish itself. He always thinks a lot about that and is in that sense the theorist behind Rammstein. We owe it to him that we were able to muster the courage to take the risks we did then."

The band name was quickly chosen. A year before the fall of the Wall, on August 29, 1988 2), a terrible accident occurs during an air show at the Ramstein military air base, in which a stunt plane crashes into the audience while burning, resulting in seventy deaths. The enormous force of the explosion scorches people in front of the camera. Rammstein, that is. The name is a prime example of the sharpest tool with which the band has become so successful; Rammstein understands the art of calculated provocation like no other. Till Lindemann goes one step further by singing the song Rammstein wrapped in a burning coat. The lyrics ('Ein Mensch brennt/Fleischgeruch lieft in der Luft/ein Kind stirbt/die Sonne scheint') could still be seen as a factual summary of the images of the air disaster, but that coat suddenly puts the song in a completely different, lugubrious and sinister, daylight. Rammstein behaves like an elephant in a china shop, but does so as subtly as a butterfly!

That song in question comes from the debut Herzeleid, which was released in 1997. Artwork (see 'controversies'), lyrics, music and appearance of the band members immediately sparked a heated discussion in Germany about the band's image, which distrusters quickly labeled as 'fascist'. Drummer Christoph Schneider defended Rammstein's creative and musical choices at the time, saying that "we are indeed muscular, have short hair and sing in German, with a rolling 'r' (with which Lindemann, according to some German newspapers, imitates Hitler's way of speaking during speeches). But that does not mean that we are fascists." Later he said in OOR about this smear: "Germans of course struggle with that eternal feeling of guilt. They want to be everything, but please not German. It is very difficult to talk about that without immediately being called a Nazi. Who says: 'I am German', he is a Nazi." The Nazi ghost is persistent, because even during the release of their latest album, Mutter, a student of German literature claimed that the record title is a clear reference to the mother country Germany. Quatsch, says Schneider. "We play with the image people have of Germans. Rammstein comes across as a militaristic band that barks its orders at the audience. We embody how the rest of the world imagines Germany. That image is made up of clichés, many of which are directly related to the war. Yet I see it more like this: we embody everything that has made Germany famous, good and bad."

It may have been the naivety associated with growing up in the isolated GDR that prevented the band from properly sensing how sensitive the Nazi past still is. Yet even after that debut and the wave of criticism that album provoked, Rammstein likes to flirt with his 'right-wing' image, although they continue to claim that they do not do this consciously. Flake: "You can also turn a Britney Spears lyric into a Nazi lyric. Ooops I Did It Again, Hitler...do you see the connection?"

Nevertheless, they use images of Leni Riefenstahl for a video clip (see 'controversies'). And some of Lindemann's choruses show that the Germans can also express their calculated provocation in a more subtle way. Those of Heirate Mich ('Heirate Mich! Hei! Hei! Hei!'), Du Hast ('Du! Du hast! Du hast mich!') and Rein Raus ('Rein? Raus!') do show demagogic traits that are reminiscent of bad times. And when they feel it necessary to convince us of their political color, which they do on Mutter in the song Links 2 3 4, they do so to the sounds of a military march. It is typical of Rammstein to say that their heart beats on the left while the music conjures up images of endless rows of shiny, polished soldiers' boots marching in mechanical step across Unter Den Linden.

The great thing is that the band gets away with flirting with everything that is labeled as rightwing and wrong, and that it can leave people in the dark undisturbed as to whether the six Germans are all serious or not. Rammstein makes grateful use of Till Lindemann's texts. Not one of them (except for the aforementioned Links 2, 3, 4) has a political connotation, with which the singer defuses the situation. On the other hand, they are a perfect vehicle for the band to practice their favorite activity: calculated provocation. The surly, possibly or not genuinely tormented singer emerges in his lyrics as a lugubrious man who, especially on the first two CDs Herzeleid and the 1999 released Sehnsucht, hunts for sexual satisfaction like a predator. On two conditions: it has to be his way and he will not tolerate any objection. In Herzeleid's Weisses Fleisch he tries to find satisfaction in S.M.: 'Du auf dem Schulhof/ich zum Töten bereit/Und keiner hier weiss/von meiner Einsamkeit/Rote Striemen auf weisser Haut/ich tu dir weh/und du pity laut.' Pay particular attention to how one simple word ('Schulhof') gives the song a charge that makes you feel extremely uncomfortable. In Heirate Mich (from the same album) he does this again, by introducing the listener to the world of necrophilia. 'Mit meinen Händen grab ich tief/zu finden was ich so vermisst/ich nehm dich zärtlich in den Arm/doch deine Haut reisst wie Papier/Und Teile fallen von dir ab.' On Sehnsucht he once again explains in detail that he is purely interested in his own satisfaction ('Bück dich befehl ich dir/wende dein Antlitz ab von mir/dein Gesicht ist mir egal'). On the same album he also delves into incest, such as in the song Tier, in which a father sexually assaults his daughter: 'Was macht ein Mann/der zwischen Mensch und Tier niet unterscheiden kann/Er wird zu seiner Tochter gehen/sie ist schön und jung an Jahren/Und dann wird er wie ein Hund/mit eigen Fleisch und Blut sich paaren'. From Speil Mit Mir the following stanza: 'Wir teilen Zimmer und das Bett/Brüderlein komm und sei so nett/Brüderlein komm fass mich an/rutsch ganz ganz dense an mich heran.' Mutter deviates from his predecessors in that Lindemann seems to have moved on from his sexual perversions, except for the song Rein Raus: 'Tiefer tiefer/sag es sag es laut/tiefer tiefer/ich fühl mich wohl in deiner Haut.' The provocation is now found through other channels, such as in the song Ich Will, which, given the earlier accusations of fascist tendencies, has a strikingly popular character: 'Wir wollen dass ihr uns vertraut/wir wollen dass irh uns alles glaubt/Wir wollen eure Hand sehen/wir wollen in Beifall untergehen.' Of course, shivers run down your body when Lindemann cuts Snow White into a morbid fairy tale (Mein Herz Brennt): 'Nun liebe Kinder gebt fein eight/ich bin die Stimme aus dem Kissen/Ich hab euch etwas mitbracht/hab es aus meiner Brust geissen. '

"Pain, suffering and heartbreak have always been a source of inspiration for us," says Christoph Schneider about the lyrics. "When we started the band, we all had relationship problems, some of us even had to leave our children. At that time, music was an outlet for our frustrations for all of us. Ten years have passed and for me personally, suffering plays no role in my life anymore, but for Till it absolutely does. And there are a few band members who have to be in a constant state of pain and sadness in order to feel good. Although I do think that we will slowly have to break new ground if Rammstein is to continue to exist." So to think that the band has become more cautious is a wrong assumption? "Yes, we have always played with ambiguity. In the very beginning we just tried everything. Until we heard the public reactions: 'Can a band make something like that, isn't it all too German?' Should we explain everything or leave our image open without providing any text or explanation? We opted for the latter. This action-reaction dynamic is something we have been dealing with for years now, with public criticism serving as an indicator: If people think we are going too far, then we know we are doing the right thing. Furthermore, it is a matter of remaining brave and saying: Was die Leute finden ist mir scheiss egal. Still, I think we have closed a phase with Mutter. We can't continue to flirt with taboo themes, we have already pushed the boundaries of that."

The fact that Rammstein can cut so undisturbed with his sharpest knife (provocation) is due to their most blunt instrument: the live show, in which they perform a modern variant of Dante's inferno as post-apocalyptic half-zombies. During the Sehnsucht tour, the band members appeared as robots and machines. Their hair is dyed silver, with long coats full of nail studs and rubber and bright blue lenses. Cold and expressionless, they stared into the crowd. Till Lindemann descended onto a trapeze staircase, while jets of fire sparkled from beneath him. he carried flamethrowers shaped like Freddie Krueger fingers. His voice rolled over the audience like a Teutonic march: punishing and unrelenting. He punished himself with a whip, and a little later, using fire-breathing boots, he rolls over cartwheels across the stage. Deep red blood seeped from his silver hair. A woman in angelic robes descended into a rusted steel cage, while flames spouted meters high into the air around her.

The band manages to convey all this with so much seriousness that the few moments in which Rammstein allows you to think that you might also find it all very funny have an even more alienating effect. When the two guitarists and the bassist enter the stage during Wilder Wein with ridiculously large sombreros, for example. Or when Flake goes crowd surfing in a rubber boat. Or, indeed, when the same Flake gets liters of semen sprayed over him by Till (Bück Dich). The band continues to do so happily during their current world tour. For example, large glass jars containing children's corpses are placed on stage in strong water, while at one point Flake appears to be a surgeon under an operating lamp, complete with white coat and doctor's gloves. They themselves of course deny it, but associations with Doctor Mengele still pop into your head completely involuntarily. Don't worry, it's a completely innocent association, because Rammstein is fun. Isn't it? Well, it's not that simple. Compare it to schlager. Watch a schlager program on German TV (Schlagerparade Der Volksmusik is highly recommended) and you will see the similarities. The singers from Tyrol and Bavaria look terribly out of place in their lederhosen and dirndl dresses, with their undeniable Prodent 3) smile and blow-dried hair in front of plywood sets of snow-capped mountain peaks, alpine meadows full of flowers and log cabins. But damn, they still really like it. Flake: "There is humor in what we do, but it has crept in completely involuntarily. People see us as something comical, but that has never been our intention." Christoph: "What we are playing now sounds authentic to our ears, we can identify with this. What we make is what we feel inside, what we experience as real. We bring comedic subjects with complete seriousness, that is our craft. Till brings ridiculous topics into the spotlight with a deadly serious face and dramatically accented voice. We like that. It's good to keep people in the dark." Oh well, otherwise Rammstein can still use the excuse, entirely in German tradition: Es sei nur ein Scherz gewesen.

Five controversies surrounding Rammstein

1. Artwork Herzeleid

On their debut CD Herzeleid from 1997, the six band members are depicted bare-chested against a background of a gigantic orange-yellow sunflower. The taut and oiled chest muscles, the short, severely shaved haircuts, the separation of band members by hair color (brown on the right, blond on the left); everything indicated that, according to the Rammstein critics, the Berlin band presented itself here as a representative of a new, superior Men's race. With this, the six made a giant swing across the political spectrum: from ex-communists to neo-Nazis in the space of a month.

2. Arrest

On Saturday, June 5, 1999, singer Till Lindemanne and keyboardist Flake Lorenz were arrested immediately after a performance in Worcester, Massachusetts. The scene during Bück Dich in which Lindemann stood behind a bending Lorenz to simulate anal sex with a strap-on dildo, rubbed local law enforcement officers the wrong way. They handcuffed the two, who then had to spend the night in jail and were released after paying bail (25 dollars).

3. Wrong timing

At the moment Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda terror organization forced two hijacked passenger planes into the WTC buildings, Rammstein's members were also in the air. They set course for the United States to continue their world tour. All aircraft that were in the air at that time and flying towards America had to immediately turn around, including Rammstein's. However, all the necessary stage equipment had already been flown over, so a week after September 11, the Germans toured America with a show full of fireworks, meter-high flames and explosions.

4. Stripped

Rammstein recorded the song Stripped in 1998 for a Depeche Mode tribute CD (For The Masses) (later also on the Australian tour edition of Sehnsucht). For the accompanying video clip they used images from Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia documentary about the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936. Riefenstahl was Hitler's court filmmaker. Goldie and Asian Dub Foundation were the first musicians to publicly accuse Rammstein (MTV, NME) of having Nazi sympathies. Fellow Berliner Alec Empire (Atari Teenage Riot) had a more nuanced opinion but did say: "You can't use Riefenstahl's footage and then say it was just a joke. My grandfather died in a concentration camp, so forgive me if I here don't see the joke." Richard Bernstein subsequently stated that the band had used the images purely for aesthetic reasons. "We thought they were beautiful images. That's probably what people in the cinema thought at the time: beautiful images."

5. Columbine

Painfully topical given the terrible shooting at a gymnasium in Erfurt. Two years earlier, on April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot and killed twelve students and a teacher and then themselves at Columbine High School in Litteleton, Colorado. The perpetrators are said to have been incited to their actions by the music and lyrics of Rammstein and Marilyn Manson; right-wing and Christian groups immediately called for a ban on both bands. Christoph: "It was put that simply, but of course it is not that simple at all. Typical of American politics to point to one guilty party in their world where everything is black and white." Flake: "It's fortunate for us that Osama bin Laden is not a Rammstein fan."

1) Eddy Wally was a Belgian singer who enjoyed some popularity among 'regular' folks, but to 'critical music journalist' made pretty much the epitomy of 'tacky' music. Being Belgian is for some Dutch a source for ridicule in itself.

2) Nitpicking but the airshow disaster in Ramstein took place on August 28 (not 29) 1988

3) Prodent is big brand of toothpaste in the Netherlands

Wow an actual art

Meet Kyuma Honeyswell, Home's florist. Based on the Southern Flannel moth, Kyuma is the fluffiest neighbor in Home. Of course, her big fluff is as venomous as it is comfortable. Thankfully, she often keeps the spines retracted! Living with her housemates, Xebias Xactly and Sprite, she's the eldest and the wisest.

[Below will just be random facts. Lots of text maybe if you do read]

Being a moth, she does often stray to vegetables and plants for food. But, like most moths, she also has a taste for fabric. Despite her being good friends with Wally, his first interaction with her was her biting off a chunk of his hair.

She likes to plant flowers near Home when Wally's away.

She's one of the more humanoid puppets, alongside Eddie. Ironically, she's also the only actual puppet in her household, with Sprite being paper and Xebias being a slime/liquid metal.

She gets along very well with Howdy. Not only because they're bugs, but also because they're shop owners! Similar goes for Poppy, since they like to bake together.

She can carry around the total weight of both Poppy and Barnaby on the ground, but can only carry a total weight of Poppy whilst in the air.

Even though Frank and her get along now, he freaked out when she first tried to shake hands with him. ("Don't touch me! I know your fluff is venomous!") Kyuma wasn't offended.

Her tail can hold things!

Though Sprite would never remember, Kyuma basically raised her since she was 3.

Kyuma gets along well with everybody! I'd make a friendship chart but I'm lazy so uh later.

Indeed one of my most interesting takes of our loveable crew, here is mailbox himself- Eddie Tink! Standing as a moderate 5'8, by far, I took many liberties with my metal man and of course his last name is a nod to being made of metal. In Doghouse, Eddie is still our loveable mailman to our neighbors but at the same time he also has zany robot guy features to teach toddlers that technology is cool. Similar to that robot guy in Yo Gabba Gabba, but a mailman. I also made Eddie a bit older, possibly in his early forties or so to round out the age groups of our neighbors we have in Doghouse and make him a more humble older guy. Even so, he's still his clumsy, helpful and southern guy who's most likely can life two elephants if tested. He's made out of metal, after all.

In his design, I really wanted to change him in a drastic way- not just making him an animal like Julie or Wally, but rather into something that would make sense for his character and give even more charm to him, which lead me to making him into a mailbox. I know, crazy. And I know what you're thinking, he can eat letters and they can go into the storage compartment- because yes. Speaking of, he has two large compartments, one being in his chest to open him up and repair his engine to keep him running and the second being his storage compartment to hold packages. Roughly, his max capacity is holding a whole Julie and Wally combined. Yes, they have tested this and yes Eddie let them. Regardless, Eddie doesn't know who made him at all, but does know that he's made of the same metal as his office and has been sentient for over thirty years before joining the neighborhood. He can't remember the first ten years.

He's extremely close with Frank and Poppy, with Frank being thankful for the robot's services and maybe possibly finding him really nice to be with, since Eddie is a simple guy who wants to be helpful. He's down bad for the humble metal man, truly and Eddie is oblivious to this. Poppy, however, is the only person who can repair Eddie if his clumsy self gets damaged or overworks his system too much- she'll be right over, fix him up and sternly set him straight. She cares for him, in a mother son type way- since Poppy, fun fact, is the second eldest in the neighbor. Howdy beats her to it, being a ghost and haunting for many years. Eddie is the third eldest.

Julie and Sally also like to hang out with Eddie, Julie usually pulling him into their games and using his metal self in some way to enhance her little shenanigans. Like using his compartment as a spaceship, or using Eddie as a car- and even as a suitcase one time. He finds it endearing and enjoys it, even if it tires him out afterwards. With Sally, however, since she usually sometimes passes out during the day- Eddie makes sure she gets home safely by either picking her up or carrying her around in the storage compartment, if it's clear. Overtime, he's become like a father figure to our sleepy gal and is very protective of her. He's a big teddy-bear, just not very bright- even if he is a robot. With our spaniel, however, he has a tricky relationship with him.

Wally loves to chase him down the block if he sees him on the job, and tries to get him to fall over to take his hat. Eddie doesn't know why or how, but Wally thinks of it as a little game which totally doesn't short circuit our metal man at all. Totally. But he finds Wally to be nice company, and usually gives him the best scratches. Besides Barnaby, of course. He talked with Barnaby sometimes too, but they're not too close since Eddie also gets pranked by him a ton with Frank and Poppy. Him and Howdy are the same thing, but they do like talking about their lives before the neighborhood with each other at times.

Two more facts before I leave y'all, Eddie likes to get polished and thinks of it as pampering which Frank is an expert at. It's one of their bonding activities, and got them to talk more when our butterfly found him all dirty and dull one time. It's common to find them doing so, and usually at Frank's house. It's adorable. My last fact is about his 'sleep' mode. When Eddie gets ready for the night, he powers down and practically cannot wake up until the sun comes up- since he needs to charge for the day. However, recently, he's been finding himself wake up near DogHouse for random reasons and figures it's usually a bug or something in his system.

Anyhow, there's a ton about my Eddie Tink and I hope y'all enjoy my mailbox guy! A bit of lore, a bit of some cutesy stuff- but y e a h. A lot. Next will be my Poppy, so stay tuned!

Happy End: You care for me

Is there fire in your veins?

Masterlist

Prev/Next

What started with one breakfast evolved to eating together, there was the change, a big one, in more than one occasion Megan would ask to know more recipes than the ones that she saw via TV in Mars, putting SB as a beta tester, because he would have more resistance than you.

"So? Is it good?" Maybe it was a little bit harsh, given the fact that it wasn't as Megan could poison someone with her cooking, maybe too much sugar or salt but no big problem.

But Superboy wasn't taking any chances, Wally could eat it, Aqualad too if he wanted and even Robin, but he was quite adamant in forbidding you when you tried to eat even one cookie if he didn't tasted it first.

It left many questions.

Maybe it was related to the fact of having a sore tummy by eating too many cookies that one time, but he wasn't taking any changes that it happened again apparently.

"They are good" no other word said, you started to eat, now these were salty cookies, which were a great balance to the chocolate cookies, combined with Megan's happy face.

"You are so good at this so soon" food wasn't exactly something that an Android like Red Tornado was concerned till the moment he got himself a child, one that he didn't expect to begin with.

And by result, you needed to learn before eating what he declared 'nutritional for kids your age' that was everything but appealing or tasty, but it was indeed nutritious, maybe?

But hey, Megan was happy, and even if she was from Mars, a girl's heart eyes were apparently the same independently from where they were from.

You were expecting some kind of romance in here, so many young people, so many hormones.

A little laugh, laughing at yourself before eating more cookies at once "Ah, I'm going to die alone".

Not thinking the weight of your words was something quite normal for you, at least when you were alone, which was your everyday life, but now you lived with more people.

People that looked at you worried by your words.

Being saved by an incoming call was good, being left alone not so much, but it was fine, it was normal.

What wasn't normal was having SB knocking on your door hours later with a worried expression, the music on speaker wasn't the most happy in the world and your aspect was far from good.

But he didn't say much, only approaching when you rolled to the other end on your bed, an invitation to your secluded bedroom, only sound came in the middle of the night from here, being music, metallic sounds or the constant tick and tack of the computer's keyboard, a long forgotten mug with some chocolate and coffee left in the middle of the disaster, he lowered the music in volume, of course he didn't sit in the place that you left, only looking at your form.

"Why do you believe that you're going to die alone?" Oh, recently caring Superboy, easily irritated but easily precious Superboy who cared about the others.

"Because so" a lame excuse, your face touching the familiar cover of your bed, this side was cold, a nice contrast in this summer night, with a black t-shirt and a pair of white shorts "in this life is normal for people to die alone, there may be many circumstances, but it's indeed a possibility"

Silence is not an option, the song has changed to something more moved but with a gray message.

"Why do you always take the cookies first?"

A knowing look, how can he be so calm now but be so powerful and furious out there?

"Because you are normal"

He says it with that look, like what he just said it's something obvious to the point that it wasn't even a question.

"Excuse me, what?" Knowing a possible answer wasn't enough, you needed to hear it from him.

"In reality, I'm not sure why you're here" you know he isn't saying this from rage, he has said worst things on those occasions "you're totally normal, you could die easily by many things, you're too fragile and this place is dangerous most of the times"

Superboy wasn't way too immerse in the things he says most of the times, he can say mean things when he is angry and need at least a few minutes to understand that he said something bad.

But Superboy was also honest to a fault when it didn't involved him.

Too honest for you.

And too confused for you suddenly leaving him there, in the middle of the corridor after closing the door too hard.

Is your heart racing?

Has it really been three months since my last Flash Vol 2 read through post?? I’d better get back to it then. So here’s Issue 43 - The Trouble With Kilg%re!

[Image: Comic cover featuring the Flash yelling out and reaching for two nude, metallic figures that are holding hands. Title text says, “The Fastest Man Alive! Flash” and the tagline says “Lost in the world of Kilg%re!” Other text says “43 Oct 90″, “Messner-Loebs, LaRocque, Marzan”, and “Watch the Flash on CBS-TV!” /End]

Wally’s about to do some pounding. Btw I think it’s a great visual choice to have it look like a centipede.

[Image: Cropped comic panel of a young man on the floor holding his neck next to a thing that looks like a centipede. In the foreground Flash’s ringed hand picks up a hammer. /End]

I only barely remember what’s going on and who these people are. Regardless, who tf would be eating that.

[Image: Comic panel of two men in a dark room with the tv on. One is wearing a robe, saying “Listen, you want some oatmeal ‘n’ gravy? Maybe with some fried jalapeños mixed in? We got lots.” The other man holds a messy stack of books and papers to his chest and replies, “Uh, no. Thanks anyway.” /End]

Let’s be real. I’m truly just here to see Wally and Linda interact.

[Image: Comic panel of the Flash saying “It’ll be dangerous. You stay here and...” while Linda clings to his arm and says, “Are you kidding? I’m with you like glue!” /End]

So then Tina’s colleagues attach Wally and Seamus inhabits Linda again in order to eye blast them.

[Image: Comic panel of Linda using powers from her eyes to attack a man and woman who have expressions of agony. One let’s their grip off of the Flash. Linda, possessed, says “’Tis me pleasure t’be after servin’ ye, Wally boy!” /End]

Oh wait was that supposed to be Mason who was watching TV and eating weird food??

Oh no and somehow Kilg%re has turned Jerry back into the monster he was way back before they got him cured. Poor Tina, talk about traumatic.

[Image: Comic panel of Jerry, shirtless and seemingly standing in cloudy steam, attacking Tina who has a tear in her eye and looks towards the viewer. Text boxes representing Wally’s dialog say, “It’s a blast from the past. Jerry’s become the monster I saved Tina from before... Except this time he’s my friend...” /End]

Linda’s able to use the eye blast powers without letting Seamus take the reigns, but she’s really not being very careful with it. 😬

Not in real space anymore? At least that might mean they won’t be totally hurt when they come out of this?

Then Dr Camper shows up all sinister and centipede-like, fused with Kilg%re. Saemus takes over Linda again, and Wally starts getting absorbed until she does another eye blast.

[Image: Comic panel of the Flash with long pieces of metal pulling his arms up, and his torso and legs down. It looks as if the metal is absorbing him, and he cries out “Aaaaaahh!!” /End]

Things calm down a little bit, but they’re still in virtual space, and Kilg%re pops out and grabs Wally. Lol meanwhile Linda is basically evaluating if it’s gonna be worth dating this guy. 😂

[Image: Comic panel of Linda, Tina and Jerry looking apprehensive. Linda asks, “Tina, when you were going out with Wally, did this sort of thing happen...?” Tine replies, “All the time. It was like dating Rod Serling!” /End]

Linda and Wally get sucked into the mechanical floor, and then... the fuck??

[Image: Comic panel of a large grayish being sitting in a tunnel that looks a mix of metal panels and cosmic clouds. The being is bald, had a triangle on its forehead, and sits with feet together and arms crossed over its chest. Wally floats in front of it, about the length of its forearm. The being says, “Hello, Wally... I am the source you have sought... The child within the machine... I am the K*lg*re.” /End]

What?? What a twist. So Seamus was just Kilg%re all along. Well damn how about that. An anagram.

[Image: Three comic panels. The first Linda in the foreground says, “I guess so. I don’t really remember what happens when...” In the background Wally says, “And this is where you pretend to be Linda?”

The second panel Wally grabs Linda’s upper arm and she makes an upset face. He says, “Give it a rest, Kilg%re. Nobody here is buying any!”

The third shows Wally and Linda, who is now naked and a metallic glowing green. Wally in surprise says, “Then I realized... ‘Seamus O’Relkig’ was an anagram for Kilg%re!” /End]

So wait a second. Kilg%re wanted to stage a battle where it died fighting the Flash so that it could just kind of chill and observe humans and be an internet troll? And then it lets naked green Linda and Wally go. Along with a gift. Eat up, Wally.

[Image: Two comic panels. The first is a close up of green Linda’s face. Her fingers are together and floating above them in front of her face is a pink ball the size of a marble. She has a coy expression and the Kilg%re speaks through her saying, “It’s a present I have f’r you...”

In the second panel, she points a finger upwards and energy move the ball from her hand into Wally’s mouth. He is surprised. Still speaking as Kilg%re, she says, “It’ll be of use to ye, in y’r moment of greatest need.” /End]

Final thoughts:

Weird. I feel like that’s a good word for a lot of these early Wally stories lol. It def didn’t go the direction I expected, but hey at least it was interesting! The horror movie element of it was pretty fun, and I’m glad we got to see Tina again. I know a lot of fans don’t like her, but I do.

I think it’s also interesting to bring Kilg%re back. I don’t really know much about it as a villain type entity across miscellaneous DC stuff, but I did by chance happen upon the JLI story with Maxwell Lord that it was in, which was a surprise. So I guess it does go on to cause future mischief.

As with the last issue, I’m obsessed with the Wally/Linda scenes. Cannot get enough of them. I want a whole spin off that’s just them getting into hijinks and trying to convince themselves they don’t like each other when they so clearly do. But now I think there’s a handful of issues before she comes back into the story, so I guess I’d better get through those soon.

Ue, lo stallo sul decimo pacchetto di sanzioni contro la Russia

Ue, lo stallo sul decimo pacchetto di sanzioni contro la Russia. Ancora stallo sul decimo pacchetto di sanzioni contro la Russia. Dopo tre giorni consecutivi di riunioni la Presidenza svedese del semestre UE sospende gli ambasciatori dei 27 Stati di fronte alla difficoltà nel raggiungere un accordo. Questa volta non è l’Ungheria a porre il veto, come spesso successo in passato, ma uno dei principali alleati dell’Ucraina: la Polonia. «Misure troppo morbide», afferma il premier polacco Morawiecki. Pacchetto -dunque- bloccato. Varsavia avrebbe voluto aggiungere altri nomi alla black list di propagandisti di Putin e, su un piano più strettamente commerciale, avrebbe voluto disporre sanzioni più dure rispetto a quelle proposte, soprattutto riguardo l’import della gomma sintetica prodotta dai russi. Un’iniziativa che vede perplessi molti altri Stati tra cui l’Italia, con il timore che questa azione finisca con l’aumentare i prezzi e non colpire l’economia del Cremlino. La Polonia, a sua volta, grande produttrice non cede. Così la speranza di Bruxelles di riuscire ad ottenere un via libera in extremis per procedura scritta e dare l’annuncio. Nel pacchetto di sanzioni si colpiranno in particolare le tecnologie e i componenti che Mosca utilizza per armi e mezzi dell’ esercito. Escluso un bando del nucleare chiesto fortemente da Zelensky, il Presidente ucraino. Si registra però una nuova svolta da parte degli Stati Uniti. Il via libera da Biden che annuncia l’aumento dei dazi su prodotti chimici, minerali e metalli dal valore di 2,8 miliardi di dollari. Nel mirino anche 22 tra governatori e famiglie dei funzionari russi, oltre a 83 entità impegnate nell’industria della difesa tecnologica. Gli Stati Uniti vogliono alzare la pressione perché – come ricordato dal Vice Segretario al Tesoro, Wally Adeyemo- “il Cremlino sta compiendo uno sforzo totale per illudere le sanzioni occidentali”.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Sent to family:

To family:

Love you!

I really miss you! Can I visit tomorrow?

Or can we meet for lunch?

Now I'm used to camping wherever. Just please make sure Sunil doesn't terrorise me again with violent secret police! We're pressing charges!

BTW- only disease I was diagnosed with was Spirochetes by our family dentist Dr Cary O' Reily (do you want video for courts?) & I was stung by a tick after wrongful covid eviction 1st night in Dennis's bed.):

I need a home to cleanse & do my diet.

It's clear I shouldn't have these imbalances because normally immune system is strong but Sunil exposed us all to tons of gross bacteria ever since he got shingles!

I hope kids didn't get these slivers in palms like I'm getting!):

Wow- I need a cleanse!

Just did palms of hands w/ vicks & splinters/ hairs pored out for several hours and are still going.

My life line on palm looks much better but I should see a Dr! Lol

Tell me if it's like this for you- heavy metal black looking slivers coming out at first than longer hairy legs- tons of grey and black oozing from lesions.

I better do feet properly too.

I haven't exfoliated properly in years! My face it pulls all out everything too!

Unfortunately

Dr. Sunil doesn't make good decisions for my kids or I- he refused to dissolve our estates fairly in timely, honest and ethical manner.

All our attys are retired or dead- just a #FreeBritney brand running mafia!

And my son is about to go to college!

Why should I be camping in 20 degrees or raped to death by his retired attys & cops on expired restraining orders? I never broke a law.

He's smeared me w/ lies to community and called me "crazy," for ponzi scams.

Cops and courts have admitted this was Shmitz defense sex sting from Cambridge Analytica he was involved with and you can see articles about Mary's Dad & uncle falsifying 9/11 etc. Theyre the biggest haters- like Sunil's gross free paralegal for sex- lover Diane Monteil and her brother in law Sunil's 1st atty Alan Silverman.

He's totally senile now btw- but he's been moonlighting as a psychologist for crimes with Sunils boyfriend Daniel Smachtenberger for years.

MUM leaders & I feel Sunil needs to settle fairly and return to UK.

His life is in danger here for how he's treated us and his atty is dead.

I need my home and self care with my kids.

It's been torture to be sexually assaulted & pimped by nearly every landlord and slumlorded for 6 years f/ 15 places. Many died in these hospitals from the fentanyl injections.

You can see Dr. Singh pimped me on internet for bribes for Sunil's team and broke all medical liability hippa laws - if you google me.

We've had enough of these abuses. We proved Mary wanted my body like Hagelin, Wally and every cop & atty for eternity. So what? I might be manys fantasy- they're not mine and I have few rights- but one should be "no." As should kids have such privilege with me there.

Surely my mothering is my finest feature & kids have been deprived.

We need to settle now 50/50 which is me having Anjali remainder of her youth and Isha these last months. It's a sin what you did to my family Sunil.

I forgive you but can't alow this hurtful manipulation of family estrangement and alienation to continue. It's hurt us and globe.

Iran is coming to peace - released over a 1000 Prisoners.

It is USA time to make reperations- but our family was due that 6 years ago in mediation. I'm not sure how you can Make amends- except release my kids and assets immediately and vacate my country. You violated your right to live or do business here. You allowed the worst criminals to rape my family for your gluttony & political ponzi scams with neo-nazis like Mary Schmits patriarichal eunuched family.

I had to turn Mary & her secret Service friends down when she wanted to go to bed- like last 10 creepy addicted landlords since covid wrongful eviction.

My faith is sacred and I don't appreciate the parasites or psychological abuse & toxins you inflicted on us.

We feel you failed us as a Dr, father and citizen of our constitutional country.

It breaks my heart to say this.

I tried to find a better win-win solution for 6 years and you refused to cooperate sensibly in a joyful manner as a "new" transitional family no matter how we've tried.

We can't co-parent your way because it's a dead system. It's not crazy to want and need our hard earned assets.

Karma will show you in "state living" like your dad in UK.

Please settle now Mary before I need to keep whistleblowing on you and your disgusting family & sting. My kids & I would rather play. I said enough to cancel your father's administration and I appreciate you're help sharing important Angels of Mary Kay Letourneau's Innocence and hope it helps you & Kegan.

God bless & Godspeed Sharkbait! Lol

All love,

Nitya
