confession #234

confession by @seander

Misinterpretations of Hailey's character annoy me to no end and I can't fathom how anyone could watch the show and come out of it with some of the takes I've seen on her. She clearly means well, regardless of how she may mess up at times; I can understand why someone may not like the way she tried to give Jake advice. She clearly didn't understand how difficult his situation was, and that's fine to dislike how she wasn't very understanding but I see the most bad-faith interpretations of it all the time? She wasn't really being manipulative or pressuring him. ( Not intentionally at least, I DO think that her saying she thinks they're bad to be around did put a little pressure on him regardless of her intentions ) Again, she maybe wasn't handling this as best as she could but what bothers me is thinking she had bad intentions behind this when she clearly didn't. ( + Unrelated a little, I do prefer that she wasn't perfect with responding to Jake venting! I hate when characters are suddenly therapists who can understand how exactly to help another character who is reaching out when the character isn't anything like a therapist. Hailey is a random sixteen-year-old girl, she doesn't really know how to deal with her own problems; What she says is very realistic to me! ^_^ ) The line "Sooner or later, Jake, you'll have to decide for yourself. Not me, not Drew, but you." is misunderstood quite a bit, Rosy did make a comment on this; "what Hailey is referring to here is Jake staying in or leaving the club. NOT choosing friends/a side. In context, it's only about Jake thinking of quitting after the competition due to pressure, which she is upset by." How exactly this got interpreted as being about his friendships with Drew/Hailey I do understand, but I don't understand seeing it as her pressuring Jake when she's making it clear she wants this to be HIS decision. She doesn't want what she or Drew might think to influence his decision, it should just be up to him. Again, again: My point is not that Hailey did nothing wrong at all or that she didn't make any mistakes, it's that she means well and I don't get how people think of her with bad intentions. That's all ( Sorry if this is too long lol, I'm just very passionate about my silly gacha show aha )

This is both so funny yet so sad

Kenjaku: look at how many friends I have four whole friends

Hazenoki: one of them is you

Kenjaku: you better believe I love myself like a friend

[flowerfluffchronicles]

started a gym membership so that I can go to a pool regularly. cuz like i walk for about 2 hours every morning, but that doesn't really do anything for my arms, you know?

And I'm small enough to fit into my old bathing suit now! And the water made my hips hurt less, too, which was nice

I'm at 226.2 lbs. I've lost roughly half a lb a day for the last 7 days (the day before that I only lost .2 lbs) <3

I had a burger today tho, so I probably won't lose as much tomorrow (but it's all I ate so I'm hoping I won't gain anything back, either)

and! I don't think I've felt that creepy pressure in my back for like...4 days? I still think it's tied into eating, but I don't know what specifically triggers it.

I've been keeping track of what I eat, but I haven't been keeping track of the pain, which is stupid. I should add the pain into my food log to see if I can find a correlation, especially since I'm seeing a doctor about it in 13 days and will need to update her on how things are going.

239 Apologetics and polemics

interesting how "pride" is only a sin in context of LGBT+ people trying to openly exist in a world that constantly shames and persecutes them. but "pride" is no longer a sin when people proclaim that they are "proud to be a christian." just interesting.

Proposal 45 - Change maximum age limits for junior pair skaters to less than 21 for women, and less than 23 for men. Change maximum age limits for junior ice dancers to less than 21 for both partners. (Current age limits in both disciplines are less than 19 for women, and less than 21 for men.) A maximum age gap of 7 years would be allowed between partners in both disciplines.

Proposal 188 - Remove the qualifying round from future World Championships. (The qualifying round had been approved at the previous ISU Congress, and would have started at the 2025 World Championships.)

Proposal 234 - The Euler will no longer be a listed jump, and will have no base value.

Proposal 235 - A jump sequence can have up to 3 jumps in singles skating, but only 2 jumps in pairs skating. An Euler is allowed in the jump sequence.

Proposal 239 - Reduce the number of jumping passes in the singles free skate from 7 to 6. Replace one leveled spin in the singles free skate with a choreographic spin.

Proposal 240 - Reduce the number of jump combinations/sequences in the singles free skate from 3 to 2.

Maya Angelou said, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”. We’ve all heard the play school song, ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’. That may be true as someone of flesh and blood but democracy is different.

Democracy is so powerful yet so fragile. So immense yet delicate. Democracy works when we participate, when we are engaged, when we believe. In a way it’s like faith. You have faith that those representing your ideas that they will keep their campaign pledges. Faith that once the votes are tallied and counted, one candidate will go to Washington as your voice, the other will concede defeat, figuratively shake hands (sometimes literally, but less and less these days) wish their opponent well, and despite which side won, the whole thing will continue on repeat. Simple in its complexity.

This has been the process for about 239-240 years. Then. Donald Trump.

Before a single vote was cast in 2016 Trump was already claiming it was rigged, that democrats cheat. This had never been a phrase I had heard so casually thrown around my entire voting life, which this will be my eighth time casting a vote for the presidency (and I swear that vote stealing, useless Jill Stien spoiler has been on every f*ckin one! God! That hooch).

There was a level of dignity and respect, of honor and pride to the running for the Oval Office even more once elected to it. There have been candidates who lost for sighing and looking smug, candidates who lost for being too sweaty, candidates who lost because they couldn’t spell potato. (🤣 I almost spelled it wrong!)

Not so much anymore. When I heard Trump insinuate that Biden was using cocaine I just thought to myself, wow! This is the level of professionalism this has gotten to. It’s like one side is there for a game of cricket, the others there for wrestlemania 10000! Not that there’s anything wrong with wrestlemania. I watched that when I was 8. This is the most powerful job in America we’re talking about though. Potentially the most powerful job in the world! Now 80 year old guys are accusing other 80 some odd year old guys of snorting coke! Thats just a tiny fraction of the unbelievable, fictitious, crazy sh*t Trump says! You guys know! You’d have to be living on a deserted island to not hear this stuff!

Words matter though. These wild accusations that Trump and his sycophants throw around have real world consequences. There had NEVER, NOT EVEN ONCE been any evidence showing any numbers of voter fraud or noncitizen voting that would have even the slightest impact on the count totals. The Heritage Foundation. You know, The Heritage Foundation, same guys who push for a white Christian nationalist agenda in the dystopian nightmare known as project 2025. Those guys. The number I saw today was 84 accounts of potential fraud, from 2003-2023 were found out of 130 million votes investigated. These are the Heritage Foundations numbers. Yet half the damn country doubts that elections work! Half the damn country thinks the whole things rigged! Funny how that only became a thing when a malignant narcissist, two bit reality tv personality ran in 2016 and hasn’t stopped since. In the last year 230. Two hundred and thirty Republicans running for office, whether state legislatures or for Washington, they have made, without any evidence mind you, claims that their election was, or would be rigged. RIGGED! ITS ALL F*ckin rigged now! It’s f*ckin ridiculous!!!

The whole damn thing falls apart if no one believes the totals, if there’s not a peaceful transfer of power, if no one thinks it matters. Again! Funny. Because Trump seems to f* ckin love autocratic rule! It’s all manufactured, none of it’s real. Even the damn heritage e foundation knows there’s no fraud!

But because Trump has already sowed the seeds of doubt into the system they have begun to shoot their roots out, splitting and crumbling the strength that once was the foundation of our democracy. Our vote!

I wish I could just shake the other side and be like, snap out of it!! Look man! Look! They’re f*ckin with you!!! I figuratively try, but to no avail. They are dead set on what Trump says is true, which is hilariously ironic because there’s rarely anything he does say that is true.

Yet half the country nearly. Half the country.

Because of his words…

Sticks and stones thrown may break capital police officers bones, and words will tear down democracy……….

These are all central themes to her story across the years, if you struggle with triggers related to these topics please proceed with caution and make sure to take care of yourself.

Reading list under the cut!

Crime and Muir Island

Terry's appearances open with her as a criminal alongside Black Tom Cassidy and the Juggernaut. Her heart, however, was not in it, and Tom helped her to reunite with her father, Sean, and Terry then split her time between her father's home and the Muir Island Mutant Research Facility.

X-Force

Terry initially joined X-Force to stop her former father-figures, Tom and Cain, from bombing the World Trade Center but stayed with the team for its entire duration. While on the team Terry would become deputy leader, and with the help of Warpath would recover from alcoholism. Towards the end of the team's tenure Terry lost her voice and subsequently her powers- and would regain her voice/powers (bad), lose them again, and then regain her voice/powers again (good) with the help of her recurring romantic mistake, Deadpool.

X-Corps and X-Corporation

Despite what the name might suggest, these are in fact different things. Terry's father, Sean, formed the paramilitary X-Corps, which was frankly a disaster that had to be reigned in by the X-Men, leaving Sean wounded. Terry joined X-Corporation, a secret branch of the X-Men who operated internationally.

X-Factor Investigations

Following the events of M-Day, Terry would join X-Factor Investigations and restart her relationship with Jamie Madrox that had first started back on Muir Island. During this period of time, Terry and Jamie lose their baby, and Terry will come to take on the mantle of the Morrigan.

Krakoa

After disappearing from comics for around 6-7 years following becoming an ancient Irish sovereignty, war, and death deity- Terry, like many mutants, came back on the mutant island nation of Krakoa. Things were not quite paradise here for her courtesy of some things with her dad (not his fault this time)- and also Leah Williams' complete bastardization of the Morrigan arc (in X-Factor 2020) which was literally Terry's last appearances, how fucking hard is it to read like 5 issues of comics Leah? How fucking hard could it possibly be? Terry has less than 300 appearances, get it together.

After the Fall

Krakoa fell apart (as all things run by Charles Xavier do), and things are ROUGH for mutants now. We find Terry now imprisoned by the anti-mutant terrorist organization, Orchis, in the Greymalkin Prison.
