#2 of my 3 nephews are lefties actually!

[outlawssweetheart]

I'll have to show this to my nephew! He's a leftie, and Kenshi is his favorite MK character after Bi-Han! 🙌🏽

GUYS! KENSHI IS A LEFTIE!!

Since the first time i saw Kenshi, i always thought it is so weird that he carries his sword by his left shoulder. Then a thought crossed my mind and i went and rewatched the Story Mode to confirm my theory.

Nine times Kenshi does things with his left while it is four times with his right. (We don't account Game Mode here and i only counted the times Kenshi purposedly does something)

A huge indicator that Kenshi is a leftie is that he always holds his sword in his left. You wouldn't hold your weapon in your nondominant hand when you're about to fight.

He gestures more with his left

He picks up things with his left

He even offers his left hand to shake! Who even does that?

Another small detail i noticed is that when Kenshi does fist-in-hand salute, he has his right hand over his other, which is the way women usually do in chinese culture. You can see Raiden is properly doing the salute here.

It can be that fact that Kenshi is not very familiar with chinese etiquette, but what i think is that he fisted the hand that was natural to him, being his left.

This explains why Kenshi has his sword by his left shoulder and draws it with his left hand. You might say but Johnny also has Sento by his left too but let me tell you, Johnny doesn't know a shit about swords and even when he wields it, he has it in his right hand!!!

Therefore, Kenshi Takahashi is left-handed. Thank you. *mic drop*

Hello you mrs. traveling iced coffee drinker honey nut cheerio lefty eyebag 😌

How are you this morning? I'm not sure if you guys have left Oklahoma or have already arrived in CA, but I hoped you guys had a safe flight! 😅 hopefully not much troubles during the TSA stuff.

I've read the fic before. I'm really not a big fan of dark Wanda lol I can't see her as evil, even after MoM, I can't see her as the villain. But I like the story! I like how you incorporated the stuff from the movie. Although, I did wonder back then if you were going to make a part 2.

Yeah I'm on wattpad, but not very much. The people I follow haven't posted much. But I found your stories on tumblr. I don't remember how though.

I'll give them a listen. Do you have a favorite album by Glass Animals?

For your questions about my crush, I should really say crushes ahahaha but they are from real life and tiktok. I think I have a tumblr crush too, but I'm not sure yet.

That's cute. I'm like your husband. When I was with my ex wife, I would always sing to her when I bring her breakfast. Or when I'm being silly.

Any big plans for the day when you're in CA?

-CuriousGeorge

Hello corn-punn!

Hahha it's funny that u used ice coffee drinker nickname today.. because this morning it was like 20 degree outside n i ordered cold brew with salted caramel foam . N i was so happy because it was so good.

So we woke up at 4am to get ready but my flight got delayed. It was supposed to be at 8am n it was delayed to 1h40minutes. The Oklahoma airport was surprisingly not that busy. I wrote a bit in flight but then fall asleep for like 20minutes.

Anyway, how r u? Hows ur day today? Sorry for the late reply..it was a very very busy day. Spent time with the family, been talking with the in laws n i finally got some time alone just now.

We got here like 10.40. N we got at my in laws at 1.15. Im so tired right now..

N the weather here is so much warmer but we brought mostly warm clothes, i can only pray it will be cold. I hv vbeen sneezing. I think it's because the extreme difference of the temperature. I was in 15 degree this morning n end up in 70ish sunny weather. N on christmas here it says it will 80 degree.. 😩😫

Haha yeah i got what u meant.. i never see her as villain either but not gonna like, dark wanda / scarlet witch is hot.. 😅🤣 n i love that kind of dark fic that has obsession or stalking or jealousy in it. I like movies like that too.

I dont think i would make pt. 2 for that fic.. i actually have another my own idea and i have 2 more requests of dark fics wanda. So i probably gonna scratch my own. Haha. Or atleast postpone mine for a while.

Ah i see. Im in wattpad too n i havent really update there.

I havent really listen to all their albums but i know some of my favorite songs which i think they r from different albums.

1. Gooey Rework

2. Gooey

3. Youth

4. Your Love (Déjà Vu) and this one inspired me an idea of a fic which i havent write it yet.😅

5. Tangerine (with Arlo Parks)

6. Hazey

Ouh about ur crush... interesting! It gets my attention! 🤭😆 okay, so currently u have a crush with multiple people? Or some of them r past crush?

Alsooooo... u have tumblr crush?? N what do u mean with u r not sure yet? Why? (Sorry for the rows of questions. U dont have to answer it if u dont want to. Didnt meant to cross the line or anything.)

Wow, u sound like a romantic person.. that's adorable.. i would prefer small gestures like that than any jewelry money can buy.. 😊

Since i answered this too late. Im just gonna tell u, how was my day whn i got here.

I bought lunch from the chinesse place near where i used to live before we went to my in laws (we used to live like 5 minutes away driving) then i have been talking n talking with the in laws. We catched up. N we went for dinner with the brothers, nephews,his parents n his mom's husband, one of the family friend also came to see us n joined the dinner. There were 12 of us. We had pizza but i ordered spicy wings and spaghetti meatballs. Was gonna order spumoni ice cream but i forgot.😒🙄 i was craving it.

I bet u r asleep now but feel free to leave me next questions? N i will reply as soon as i can.

Cheerio!

Democrats very nearly won an Ohio House special election they had no business winning, so they are, you might say, winners and losers all at once in the August 7 elections.

The Ohio 12th Congressional District had been red for 35 years, but Democrat Danny O’Connor almost won it Tuesday over Republican Troy Balderson, who appeared to have eked out a 1-point win when almost all the votes were counted on Tuesday night.

Elsewhere, progressives came up short in the Michigan Democratic primary election, and a black woman from Detroit was elected to replace a now-resigned lawmaker who was accused of sexual misconduct.

The O’Connor showing in the Ohio 12th can still give Democrats hope that the “blue wave” could be real. This is a district that, on its surface, should not be competitive. It’s gerrymandered to protect against it, in fact. Donald Trump won it by 10 points.

If Democrats can (almost) win here, they can win in a lot of places. They need 24 seats to take the House, and they could win some of them in states like Ohio, Michigan, and Kansas.

Danny O’Connor very nearly won in his bid to repeat Conor Lamb’s Pennsylvania performance earlier this year — and election watchers weren’t quite ready to call the race with provisional and absentee ballots still needing to be counted. But as of press time, it looked like O’Connor was behind.

His campaign was pretty explicitly modeled on Lamb’s. O’Connor distanced himself from Washington Democrats, hit Balderson for Republicans proposal to cut Medicare and Social Security, and campaigned on defending Obamacare. He also, like Lamb, said he would not back Nancy Pelosi for speaker.

Who knows how much of O’Connor’s performance is him versus the anti-Trump atmosphere — I talked to voters in the district who seemed more focused on electing someone to oppose the president — but this is still a moral win for the people like O’Connor arguing that the Democratic Party can still be a big tent that spans from centrists like him to democratic socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is all but assured to win her heavily Democratic district this fall.

For now, a lot of Democratic activists and voters don’t want to worry about the ideological divisions within their party; they just want to win. The challenge will come if Democrats win the House in November and actually need to advance an agenda.

But that is a problem I think most Democrats would be happy to have.

Michigan Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed came up short in his statewide bid. Bill Pugliano/Getty Images

The left has had a good 2018, don’t get me wrong. But Abdul El-Sayed’s second-place finish in the Michigan Democratic governor’s primary — even after a highly publicized appearance days before the election with superstar Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders — wasn’t its best moment.

Meanwhile, down south in Ohio, a moderate Democrat who explicitly rejects lefty priorities like Medicare-for-all, “Abolish ICE,” and tuition-free college, very nearly won a House district Republicans have held for 35 years. Progressives have made gains this year, compared to the past, but the moderate message still seems to have a place in certain areas.

To pour salt in the wound, a Green Party candidate actually got more votes than the margin between O’Connor and Balderson.

Right now, it’s easy to imagine a House Freedom Caucus-size lefty caucus if things break right for Democrats. But that kind of support for the democratic socialist policies can have only so much effect, unless progressives start breaking through in more primaries.

President Donald Trump speaks at a rally to show support for Ohio Republican congressional candidate Troy Balderson last weekend. Scott Olson/Getty Images

Trump flew out to Ohio to campaign for Balderson at the last minute and tweeted his support several times. Given the narrow margin of victory, the president can (and quickly did) call it a win for him — though it was closer than it should have been, and that was also probably thanks to him.

When I decided to go to Ohio for Troy Balderson, he was down in early voting 64 to 36. That was not good. After my speech on Saturday night, there was a big turn for the better. Now Troy wins a great victory during a very tough time of the year for voting. He will win BIG in Nov.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 8, 2018

And as Vox’s Tara Golshan reported, part of Balderson’s win might be credited to Republicans’ running of their last-minute playbook based on their tax bill — Trump’s signature policy accomplishment, if his only substantive one.

Michigan Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gretchen Whitmer. Bill Pugliano/Getty Images

Gretchen Whitmer beat two male candidates in the Michigan Democratic governor’s primary. Women also prevailed in Michigan Seventh, Eighth, and 11th Democratic primaries, including, in the latter race, Haley Stevens, who got a last-minute endorsement from Hillary Clinton in the 11th District’s crowded primary.

And after longtime Rep. John Conyers was forced to resign over sexual misconduct allegations, Barbara Jones, the Detroit City Council president, won the Michigan 13th’s special and regular primary elections to replace him on Tuesday.

Jones beat Ian Conyers, a state senator and the outgoing Conyers’s great-nephew (so by proxy, the Conyers family loses). It’s another win for a woman in a Democratic primary election where her main rival was a man.

There were technically two primary elections on Tuesday: one to finish Conyers’s term through January and the other for the 2019 term. Jones won both of them, so she’ll be in Congress for a while, along with what could be a record number of women.
