Trollstopia Blindblogging: episode 6b - Cloud Control

EW. Ok so I am so wishy washy about this one. On the one hand it had a few really good moments, like 2. Like holy shit Lownote Jones got legit mad the VA really let loose there. And the actual composition of the song is pretty good

But it’s a Cloud Guy episode. through and through. watch at your own risk depending on your tolerance. Though we finally have a whole group of Trolls around Branch who can relate to him on this. 1/5 for the terribly incompetent message. I knew the status quo couldn’t be upset but holy shit. 

Inhale. Exhale. Ok, so. I’ve never been Cloud Guy’s biggest fan. In theory he could be very funny. A foil to Branch who’s style of harassment is affectionate and forces people outside their comfort zones in a slightly negative but beneficial way? I could really dig it. I’m kind of a Troll myself. I love picking on people. Within Reason. But everyone should be enjoying themselves, and you should know when to stop. And even then you don’t have to have him as a positive character. But the cartoons treat Branch so poorly, that plots that should look like good natured ribbing to the local grump (like idk, teasing him into chasing you only to lead him where he and his friend wanted to go all along, ala the first movie, where he was funny) it looks a lot like straight up harassment. Like bullying. Cloud Guy walks a very fine line with me from funny to absolutely uncomfortably intolerable so..... not thrilled with the implications of a Cloud episode.

 Aaaaaaaaand we open on Branch oh no. Like I legit am dreading this. 10 Minutes straight of Branch having a bad time yaaaaaaaaay 

Annoy-iversary... He straight up called it Harrasment. jesus christ

suddenly vibrating ok but real talk about that Disco Ball real quick I have so much theory about the old Disco Tribe ask me about it some time cause it’s a lot to blather on about but like between the Disco theme of the Bergens, the old Pop map having Disco on it and Branch commenting that Disco is gone when Prince D calls out their old map... I’ve been wondering if Pop wasn’t the first tribe the Bergens focused on, and if it took them wiping out the Disco Trolls to second guess and start keeping the Trolls they got ahold of to preserve them?

But also like... Pop Village is a new settlement. It was established after Poppy’s birth. Why would there be archeological remnant near there? Lagoona should be looking around the Troll Tree....

Bitch you leave Lagoona alone!

Ok, ok. Some of these I get. Cloud guy’s MO is forcing Trolls that don’t vibe with him to engage emotionally. Lagoona makes sense. We haven’t seen much of her but we saw them interact. Even if she was willing to play along at some point once he pulled on prank and she stopped engaging she became a permanent target. Dante too. Haven’t seen a lot of him but I would expect more than a few of the prim and proper Classical are on Cloud Guy’s radar. But Cloud guy does get along with people who roll with it. It’s really apparent with Poppy, who just takes it all as one big joke. And you are telling me he managed to get on Holly Darlin’s, aka Poppy on coke’s, nerves enough to get her to break from hospitality and engage? And Lownote? What the fuck did he do to Lownote Jones to mess with his steeze so bad as to make him a regular victim? Nothing phases Lownote... you know I bet one or both of those poor Trolls called him out for harassing someone else and he shifted focus in retaliation.

OMG Holly Darlin you cute AF! that’s a win well deserved. 

But yeah no that checks out for Cloud Guy

Holy shit Lownote

That’s like... some legit anger there

(Branch called Lownote the coolest Troll alive and Lownote called him Baby.... no comment just leaving that there)

But like.... holy shit Lownote

I feel like this is one of those cases where the explanation would always disappoint but what the hell did he do to Lownote?

That’s a really smart observation though. That CG has picked a favorite from every tribe and Hard Rock is notably absent

Also notice that besides Lagoona, all the Trolls in question are authority figures. Knowing Synth for the Big Dumb go with the Flow himbo he is, I doubt Cloud Guy could get his claws in and he went down the list. I’m not sure what it means but I’m sure it means something. Good observation from Branch regardless.

Val’s eyes turned blue with the “icy glare” that’s a great touch

GOD VAL I love you so much. jesus that was satisfying in ways I could never explain

No. No absolutly not. Cloud guy is a Bully who does not respect boundaries, who’s actions forced his victims to take extreme measures to find peace from him. This result is purely the outcome of his own actions. Poppy if you make them apologize I will never forgive you.

Yes Cloud Guy, you do waste everyone’s time with annoying pranks, and maybe you should spend some time, in the wilderness, alone, until you’ve assessed your behavior and committed yourself to change in ways that make you not an active and purposeful blight on those you afflict yourself on

Which is what I would say if I thought he was genuine. Which I know he isn’t. This is straight up guilt tripping. Like 100%. 

NO. NO NO DONT FALL FOR IT. LISTEN TO BRANCH 

HOLLY DONT JUSTIFY THIS

POPPY SHUT YOUR ENTIRE ASSHOLE

NO BRANCH. 

We literally just had an episode about respecting boundaries, and how it’s the person’s decision when and where to leave their comfort zones. Poppy is already toeing a hard line with most trolls, and her version of persistence to break people out of their shells is about as close as you can get to this point being made. Like at least her intention is to get people to try new things and enjoy themselves and to become more independent, happier versions of themselves. Cloud Guy’s intentions are to make people upset about things that are important to them. He doesn’t want you to take things less seriously. He wants to find people who take things seriously, and make them feel bad for doing so. If he has ever had a positive influence on one of his Victims lives, it was a purely coincidental byproduct. NO

(I want to note that we do see some of this behavior in Cloud Guy, pushing Branch to try and force him to do things that would be beneficial for him, but very very rarely, and only early in TBGO. It is the outlier in his behaviors. Cloud Guy is an agent of Chaos and will not apologize for it. and not in a good way.)

This is like Branch deciding to forgive Creek because his betrayal caused Branch to find his happiness again do you see how ridiculous this is?

Legit anger here

Branch no don’t sing to him. Branch SHUT YOUR ENITRE ASSHOLE

I hate that Branch is singing this and the VA sounds good. I hate that this kinda good. Cause the Lyrics piss me off

it doesn’t “turn out great” most of the time. and the idea that he’s “showing love his own way” and thus it’s ok is really, really terrible thing to teach. 

Best case scenario, cloud guy is pulling pigtails to get attention. Which is still totally unacceptable behavior. Cloud guy is one of the few non trolls and thus gets to be an asshole. And could be used to show that people who treat you badly need to be called out and you do not have to engage with them... I keep having to pause the song this is so icky

I KNEW IT

But also what a freaking twist Val I am so disappointed in you!

Edit: ok no I have to come back on mobil and mess up the formatting just to yell some more cause like what the actual fuck Val? Two of these trolls you bonded with over avoiding too much mushy stuff and a faintly traumatizing hug based monster movie experience, as a favor for a third troll of this group. We literally just had an episode about you setting boundaries and not wanting to show emotion. And you team up with Cloud Guy against them? To play a prank that's basically forcing them to show heartfelt emotion towards a bully? Shame Val. For shame. I really hope he takes a step to far and she has a hard reevaluation about this dude she thought was just a prank fan. I hope she has to take a step back at some point and say hes to much. I could see him being a draw to her, but not once she sees him fully in action. Still disappointed Val at least a third of these trolls are your friends

[lordmongoose]

shit, the current anime season is ending.

well, uh

guess i’ll

y’know

A Thing About, uh... How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, I guess

spoilers

short summery get it cuz it was a summer anime and now it’s not summer anymo

It’s an isekai. There’s a guy who’s, like, the most powerful fucker in all the land in this MMO he plays, and he mostly just hangs out in some dungeon killing all the other players who keep trying to take him out.

Then he goes to bed, wakes up, oh shit it’s another world, etc etc.

Fuckin’ isekais, man.

Yes, he’s his character from the video game. Yes, he’s ridiculously overpowered. Yes, the world is the MMO world. sorta. iunno.

Before him (genuinely don’t remember his actual people name) are 2 kawaii-ass girts, who, uh... Summoned him, I guess? Thing is, he’s got thing ring that reflects literally all magic. Got it as a reward for being the first player to defeat some big raid boss. So, the two girls cast enslavement magic on him, figuring he’s a demon or whatever, but that shit gets reflected and now they’re both his slave. Slaves. Iunno.

Thing is- and this is basically the only reason why I kept up with this show- the guy’s completely fuckin’ inept as a person. He can’t talk to people for shit, but he can roleplay as an evil demon lord asshole. So, at the risk of being uncovered as a socially inept fuckula, he be’s all like, “sup bitches y’all thought you could enslave the daemon lorde diablo fuck that noise y’all’re mine now alright now what the fuck’s going on.”

The two girls, a catgirl named Rem i think and an elf girl named Ce-Cel-

Shera, that’s what it was. Shera.

They give him the lowdown on stuff. They all sign up as adventurers, what with Diablo being level 150. The deal with the isekai world is that most people don’t want to fuckin die, so there really aren’t too many people who’re higher than like level 30.

A bunch of people be all like, “dude, fuck this demon lord guy. who the fuck he think he is. shit he just fuckin blasted all my steez into oblivion. well.”

meanwhile, the girls are just sorta like “ay diablo what’s large, round, and rhymes with anime tiddies. surprise, it’s anime tiddies.”

except Rem doesn’t have large anime tiddies. You’ve seen the scene where a girl is all, “oh no i don’t have ooki oppai. this is so sad alexa play renai circulation,” so, like, there’s no point in going over that.

Turns out Rem’s got a fuckin demon lord inside her. No, it’s not the main character. Yet. Her fam has been cursed to carry the demon lord Krebsklumnmmmnmmnm, and she wants to deal with that shit cuz she’s sorta doomed to just die and/or condemn her child to the same fate. rip.

Diablo, being the upstanding gentleman that he is, swears that he’ll use his immense demon lord schlong power to fix this whole demon parasite situation.

Someone from the mages guild gets pissed at Diablo being rude and tries to kill him. He gets his shit pushed in, etc etc.

Note: I don’t actually remember if this is the order things actually happened in. So, y’know.

Some other guy, proclaiming himself to be an ally to all women, vows to free Shera and Rem from Diablo’s enslavement. Naturally, being a man who proclaims himself to be an ally to all women, he doesn’t actually fucking listen when the girls tell him that it’s not a problem and the whole enslavement deal was an accident. He gets his shit pushed in and then they all become friends once he realizes that Diablo is also an ally to all women or some shit i don’t fuggin kn

Shera’s brother shows up- wait no

The mage man that got his shit pushed in starts a demon invasion cuz he’s salty. Diablo blows the demons up. Woo.

Shera’s brother shows up and is all like, “Hey Shera, y’all wanna make an incest baby?” to which Shera be’s all like, “fuckin... no?” so he gets pissed and leaves, vowing that he’ll be back for her.

Like a day later, he’s back for her. He plays a flute and suddenly she’s all, “y’know what onii-chan that incest baby plan sounds pretty solid right about now let’s head back to the elf kingdo-” also btw shera’s the princess of the elf kingdom and her brother is here to retrieve her that’s kind of an important detail “-m.”

Diablo gets PTSD from the ordeal, cuz he’s kinda gotten attached to the girls and shera just sorta swooced on outta there y’know. He soon realizes that the flute is a literal rape whistle and has mind control powers over Shera. Maybe others, but specifically her in this instance.

Also, earlier, they got a mission to stop war with the elf kingdom.

So, Diablo and friend go to save Shera. Shera’s brother’s startin to get all, “ay shera i’m gonna poke you stuff,” and she’s all, “no don’t” in response but he don’t fuckin listen. 

Then Diablo shows up at the elf camp, and Shera brother is all, “hey where’re the guards how’d you get here,” to which Diablo be’s all like, “bitch,” and turns shera brother into a pancake. Not really, because Shera doesn’t want her brother to die, but then her brother summons a hydra to kill Diablo. Diablo kills the hydra, everyone is saved.

Then the royal guard shows up. Turns out, the guy in charge whose name I definitely remember wants war with the elf kingdom for reasons. So, he decapitates Shera brother. Yup.

The royal guard leader is actually pretty friggin’ tough, being almost at Diablo’s level, but Diablo doesn’t suck, so royal guard man gets his shit pushed in and Diablo be’s all like, “Fuckin’ stop. I’m gonna blackmail the shit out of you with the fact that you tried to start a war, so just go back to yer fuckin castle and eat all yer shitty cheese or whatever.”

Then a demon girl shows up and be’s all like “ay, I know how to get that demon outta Rem.” So they, as well as this royal guard girl that they’ve known for a while shit i forgot to mention that earlier all go to a tower. Also I forgot to mention that Diablo learned how to dispel magic by using him magic to find magic and then de-magic it.

Then, some royal guard asshole with mystic eyes of distortion shows up and tries to kill Diablo and friends because he thinks he’s the weapon of god or whatever. He’s fuckin terrible. They push his shit in and move on.

So, they get to the place and also the plan is to flood the demon lord in Rem with magic until it revives, at which point Diablo will kill it. Sound plan. 10/10. Fuck it.

So, Diablo floods Rem with magic. Doesn’t work, so the demon girl is all, “you can flood magic better from within.”

to which Diablo responds, “wait, like, how ‘within’ are we talkin here?”

“you must put ur hand in her girl bits”

“mmm, right”

So, diablo puts his hand in her girl bits and fills her with magic shut up and the demon lord becomes revived. It’s a smol girt. She likes biscuits.

The demon girl what proposed the plan earlier is confused, but, like, the girt is the demon lord, so I guess mission accomplished? Another demon man shows up and is all, “wait shit this ain’t the demon lord she didn’t fully revive I’m gonna kill her and retry.” but then diablo just sorta pushes his shit in and they all go to town and have a nice non-sexual sleep.  One detail of that last sentence was a lie. Guess which one it was. Vote now on your phones.

Boom, the royal guard girl was evil. She hates the mortal races and wants the demon lord to be fully revived so that she’ll destroy them. They’ve named the demon lord girl Krem, btw.

The religious asshole man from earlier kidnaps Rem and Krem with Alicia (royal guard betrayal woman)’s help. Religious asshole man tortures Rem with swords and almost kills her, so Krem explodes with anger and kills the religious asshole man fucking god finally.

Diablo fights Krem. Krem gets her shit pushed in, comes back to her senses, and etc. Everyone lives happily ever after and Alicia doesn’t get killed because even though she tried to initiate genocide, she’s got a real swell rack.

Only men can die.

Anime wasn’t a mistake guys i swea

They try to tell her that she needs to stop being a little shit and let go of her PTSD past or whatever. And then she’s just off somewhere. Yup.

The guild leader doesn’t trust Krem because she’s the demon lord, so Diablo enslaves Krem too so that she’s under his authority which is enough i guess fuck it.

Someone’s going to jail for this.

It’s... Neat, I guess. I wouldn’t call it good, per se, but hot damn if there ain’t some real cathartic shit in this. Diablo is, as a rule, stronger than literally everyone else in the entire world, so it’s just really satisfying watching all these asshole try to fuck with his peeps and then getting their shit pushed in.

Also, the development of the relationships between the characters is oddly well-done. There are a lot of anime that’ll toss some girl at a guy and she’s immediately smearing herself all over him, but that isn’t necessarily the case here. Iunno.

7/10. I enjoyed it a fair amount. It was pretty good filler in between, uh...

Boruto and Chio’s School Road. Shit, I shoulda done Chio’s School R

[butter-ff]

It's a Celebration...

Porter:

I woke up from the best sleep in a while and snuggled my comfy pillow to realize that it was Aubrey… my head popped up arm and leg thrown around him and he was sleeping so peacefully. This feels extremely too right. I had to pee so I started trying to figure out a way to get from under him without waking him. I gently took his arm that was protectively around my waist and pulled it off before moving a little too quick and instantly becoming nauseous. I rushed to the bathroom in time to throw up in the toilet before using the potty. I washed my hands and brushed my teeth. I was staring at my body, not even noticing that Aubs was in the doorway watching me.

“You’re gorgeous Porter!” I blushed a little and looked down.

He walked further into my bathroom putting his hands on either side of the sink and pressing against me. Looking at me through the mirror.

“I love every little thing about you, and I’m really loving every subtle change baby Graham is making to this already bomb ass body you got baby girl!” He kissed my neck before trying to bite it, and I giggled.

“Thanks for coming last night.” I said through giggles.

“I may not technically be your man right now… but just like my heart belongs to you, you gotta trust me to always protect and take care of yours too!” He said placing one hand on my tender chest and the other on my stomach before turning me around to face him.

God this man is so perfect for me…

“You sleep with her?” I asked quietly.

“No” was his short response.

“Do you want to?” Came out next.

“P we’re not together, you chose this and I respect it. So honestly what I do or don’t do with another woman should ’t be an issue.” He’s right but it doesn’t stop me from wanting to know.

I was at a loss for words so I did what I can’t seem to control lately and started to cry.

“Porter no…” he begged wiping tears.

“I’m sorry I can’t control it half the time! It's really not you I swear.” I said through tears.

“Baby look at me.” He said pulling my chin up to look at him.

“What?” I asked sniffling.

“Get your shit together woman!!! Naw I’m playing. She’s not you. She might fill a void sometimes when I just want a woman around but the only woman I want to be up under and inside of is you. The only woman that makes me crazy is you. The only woman I want to give me a basketball team worth of babies is you. The only woman I will let break up with me for some odd shit and disappear for three damn months in another part of the world is you. And the absolute only woman I will cry like a little bitch over is you! I ain’t had sex in a long time baby!” He finished as I stared up at him, hands on his waist loving the feel of his warm skin.

“Good to know!” I leaned up on tiptoe and pecked his lips before kissing down his body and sucking on my favorite thing to tell my man thank you for the wait…

1 month and 2 weeks Later…

I’m putting the last touches on this get together. I am now actually sixteen weeks pregnant, and we know the sex of the baby or should I say Celeste does but we have two names either way. It’s been a little hard keeping the pregnancy from everyone this long, but with the right clothes you can conceal the pudge. The Studio and shop has been open for a month and is doing really well. Aubrey is amazing which is no surprise. There have been nights when I would just pop up at his house and he would rub my belly, or my feet, or his favorite my breasts. He constantly tells me how beautiful I am. He’ll come over and cook… that’s right he will kick my mom out the kitchen and cook for us as well as clean up after. He reads and attempts to sing to the baby, and his favorite thing to do is take a nap on my belly. He says it’s unfair that I get all the natural bonding time, and that I need to share the belly! Celeste had me in my office under threat as she and Drew along with Mark and Noah did whatever my mom said as they transformed my gallery and show room into a dinner/gender reveal. My mentor, who is another photographer took some maternity pictures for us to go along with my reveal. I invited her and her family to come as well tonight. I think that all in all it will be a good twenty people here. Aubrey’s dad is flying into town for it. But no one knows what it’s really for we told them that it was a celebration for the success of my business in such a short time. I went through a few shoots and sent them to their respective destinations, before responding to emails before Aubrey called.

On Phone: Me: Hey Aubs what’s up!? Aub: I was just thinking about you and my baby, y'all good?

I smiled, he does this a lot.

Me: yes daddy we are fine, uncle Mark and Goddad Noah, and Aunty Celeste won’t let mommy do anything. Aub: Baby Graham tell mom dukes to sit at her desk and look pretty cause Glam Ma Pier can handle the squad.

I giggled at his silliness as I had put the phone on speaker and near my belly.

Me: ok daddy we get it! Aub: I love you my little person and you too babygirl! Me: we love you too Aubs!

End Convo…

I shook my head laughing to look up and see Celeste and my mother in the door.

“Stop playing and make that man your husband child!” My mother said eyeing me as Celeste snickered.

“Girl because what we just witnessed was oh my goodness cute!” Celeste said causing me to laugh.

“What do y'all need?” I asked.

“To get you changed into your first outfit, it’s almost time.” I nodded getting up and rubbing my belly.

“It’s time for the world to know about you baby!” I said to my little angel. Tonight everyone would find out that we’re expecting, what he or she is, and the name!

I got dressed which took a little and sat while I got my hair and make up done. Tonight should be perfect.

Aubrey:

I drove to the Pier after picking up my mother. Jaya has been blowing me up all night wanting to hang out. But I told her I have something very important and special to me happening tonight and we can chill another time. She’s in her feelings. But she’s not my woman just my friend who I know wants more, but I’m past the days of multiple women. I like Jaya as a friend she’s beautiful and Amazing. But my heart will always belong to the mother of my child.

“I think it’s so nice that Porter invited me!” My mother spoke as we neared The Pier.

“She loves you Mom, just because we’re not together right now doesn’t affect her admiration for the phenomenal woman that created me!” I spoke and was rewarded with a smile.

We pulled up and I helped my mother out and inside once I parked in the back parking lot. We entered and were handed glasses of wine. Porter’s glasses were filled with apple juice which she has had very strong cravings of. The guest list tonight consisted of my guys and their girls. My parents, P’s mom and Grams, E and Ant, Remy, Steez and Bam, Julian and Celeste who have been together for a month, Court and her new guyfriend, and Ants parents along with Porters mentor and her family. My uncle, and Sarah Beth. We walked over to P who was talking to E and Jess.

“Hello Porter thanks for inviting me, and congratulations you deserve so much success!” My mother spoke and Porter smiled hugging and thanking her.

She looked at me trying to figure out what I was gonna do. I pulled her into a bear hug and pecked her lips. I was nibbling on them which caused her to laugh and push me away.

“Best behavior sir!” I mock saluted and walked with my mother to seat her at the table.

We all sat and Porter stood in her flowy black dress that did a good job of concealing the belly, but my girls would not be concealed… I love messaging the titties.

“Thank you all for coming, the success of The Pier is still so surreal to me. When I came here I didn’t know what I wanted to do, and now I can’t imagine doing anything else surrounded by any other people. You all are the best support system a girl can have!” Everyone said cheers and we dug in.

The food was delicious and we talked and joked. The women commented on Porters happy glow they called it. We finished dinner and Porter stood again.

“I have set up a special presentation of pictures in my Gallery for you all to view. The rules are that you must look at each picture in order until you get to the very end.” Everyone obliged as they began to walk through the gallery. It’s a square room with pictures set up and there is electronics for curation. Porter and I could be heard telling the story of our relationship up to the baby. We stood back watching everyone as they looked at the pictures and listened before getting to the very last one and realizing what they were really here for. Her mother still cried even though she already knew. Her Grams and my mother hugged crying as well. We got a lot off congratulations when people finished and Steez put me in a headlock!

“Ok everyone! Hello if you don’t know me I am Celeste the beautiful and talented Porter Piers assistant! She and Aubrey trusted me with the sex of their baby. So you two have to stay facing that way. I will display the sonogram on the screen so everyone else can see, Aubrey will be popping this bottle which will spew out the color of the sex… that is why there is tarp down!”

We all nodded and I’m excited. Celeste handed me the bottle and I heard cheers as the picture displayed behind us and people celebrated. Porter squeezed my arm as I popped the bottle and blue spewed out. Porter was in tears as I picked her up squeezing her to me. She had snuck off and changed so that her bump was now visible. I kissed her neck putting her down and wiping her tears.

“You’re giving me a son!” I said feeling on a high!

“What’s his name?” Erin asked excitedly.

Porter and I looked at each other before she started.

“Emilio for my dad!” She teared up along with her mother and Grams.

“Steven for my favorite uncle!” My uncle and mother hugged.

“Graham!!” We finished together. Rewarded with a collective aww.

“There is one last thing!” Porter stated as I wiped her eyes. Drew came with a pillow that had gold engraved keys on top. She gave one to Noah, Steez, Bam, Erin, Julian, and Celeste.

On each key it read, you are an essential key to the success of my parents, will you be my godmother/godfather!

They all read it and smiled with varying reactions as they came to hug us and say yes. The rest of the night we talked and danced, and celebrated the birth of Baby Graham. And later P came to my crib and we snuggled up in bed as I read a bedtime story to my son and ate his mom to sleep. Champagnepapi: Baby Graham on the way! I hope he looks just like mom dukes with finess like his dad 👀💙👶🏽...

Again unedited sorry but I hope y'all like it 😁 leave me love!!❤️️

I like to call a thing a thing. I check in often so I’m not out here faking the funk and being a fraud. I also am smart enough to know I don’t owe the world all my messiness and pain. They’ll only show up to watch the blood spill. So, there are a few things I ain’t doing. I ain’t publicly fighting over no nigga who has Community Cock and I damn sure ain’t gonna fight over him with a bitch that doesn’t have a job and lots of low vibration energy. We make choices. I’m reckoning with mine. I chose a person that took me down paths and roads that weren’t authentic to who I was in the name of “love” and fear...fear of being alone and judged for my repeated alone-ness. Even in the face of combating self loathing and shame I decided to choose ME. So, I wake up every morning and I decide to live for me, for my children and to make better choices. I extend as much forgiveness and love to myself as I did to a nigga who would continue to debase and abuse me because he could and for people and situations who were spiritual garbage. Anything outside of living, learning, laughing and loving is just noise. I am in the process of healing, I am in the process of healing my children. I am in the process of starting all over again. I am in the process of seeing myself through a new lens...ones I picked for myself. I am dispelling fear, I am divorcing shame, I am abandoning abuse. I don’t owe anyone a fucking explanation. Especially muthafuckers who don’t know how to heed a warning, who invoke the name of the ancestors and intuition as a disguise for their own loneliness and desperation leading them down a path of self sabotage. Especially, ones who self identify as winner because they settled for a person who is an abuser and who has openly disowned his only son. I’ve become an expert in identifying what it means to forego common sense and discernment because you want to be “chosen”. So you let a nigga ride YOUR wave. Taking the higher road has never been my steez. When niggas go low, I get in the fucking mud. On the eve of my 38th birthday I’ve learned you don’t have to show up to every fight you’re invited to. I’m a fighter tho, don’t forget.

Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Raekwon 첫 솔로앨범 Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (1995년)

  Let’s kick that old school shit

  힙합클래식 중 손꼽히는 앨범

랩 가사야 릴웨인의 영향으로 많이많이 발전 했지만

그래도 힙합은 옛날 90년대 음악을 제일 좋아합니다

요즘 힙합은 개인적으로 잘 안듣습니다

편식이 심해진거 같아요

  뭐 어쨌든 힙합하면 떠오르는 이미지가 게토생활의 힘든 삶 정도가 아닐까

그런 느낌을 가장 제대로 살린게 골든에라 90년대 힙합 이란 말이지요

그래서 아직까지도 그때의 향수를 가지고 있고 느끼고 즐기고 있습니다

오랫만에 올드한 느낌의 뮤직비디오 즐겨 보세요

Good Ones Go...

Porter: "What have I done!" I sobbed into my mother's arms as she comforted me. "Shhh sweetheart just breathe." Was her soothing response. What I said to him, and the face he gave me... he didn't deserve it but this is all too fast. Watching the movies last night with him and my mom and how comfortable he was, how much I can tell she already adores him. It's scary. When I moved here it was to spread my wings and be free to do whatever. The job at Noir is amazing but I'm getting extremely too comfortable and it scares me... I don't want to be one of those women who settles just because her man loves her and she is well taken care of. I want to also have something of my own and be able to take care of myself if need be! My breathing calmed down and I sat up looking at my mother who stared back with sad eyes. "He didn't deserve that..." I said lowly. "No he didn't, but you said it and it can't be taken back." She responded. "I just want... I need space from him... from us... we're moving so fast and so heavy and I barely know myself as a woman!" I began and she nodded just allowing me to get it out. "I never should have blamed him for sex... I really wanted it." I looked up mortified at that outburst. And was rewarded with a laugh. "Child you are grown, I know what grown folks do. Do I agree with it before marriage? Not really because it has a way of complicating things... but the only complicated thing I see right now is you!" I stared at her as she spoke letting the words deep into my soul. "I hurt him!" She nodded. "You need to figure shit out and hope that when you do... you didn't lose a good one!" She kissed my forehead and got up leaving me with my own thoughts. When she closed the door I facetimed Bam. FaceTime: Bam: hi boo... what's wrong. She knows me so well. Me: Bam I fucked up! Bam: how mama? Me: I pushed him away, and I said really foul accusations, and he left... he tried to stay but... I wanted to cry all over again but I sniffled to hold them at bay. Bam: Porter no!!! Why did he tell you about the rings or... She caught herself but not before I heard her. Me: What rings Amber? Bam: shit did I say rings... I meant... Me: nuh uh nope don't even, what rings! Bam: he's been ring shopping babe and he's narrowed it down. They're gorgeous P! But we all told him you aren't ready. We told him not to even give you the inkling because you would pull this shit! I stared at her as she stared back with sad eyes. He wants to propose. Somehow I just knew... but I never would have guessed he has already been looking at rings. Me: I asked for a break... Bam: how long will that be? Me: I don't know. Bam: Good ones go when you wait to long P... Me: I know but I have to find myself. I need to be able to have something to call my own... so many women fail when they just live in their men's shadow what if... Bam: No ma'am no what if's. Life can be a bitch when you deal in what if's! He loves you so much, he wants you to be happy, and healthy, and always taken care of. He wants to be the only one for you. He's your perfect, hear me when I say with confidence you are it for him. He has proven it time and time again. He can find someone else to love... hell we all can! But that would be unfair to the next person because he already gave his heart away and you just threw it back in his face. I hate when she talks reason. Me: Bam what do I do? Bam: honestly apologize to that man and then get your shit together, because the Porter I'm talking to right now doesn't deserve him! Me: ouch bitch am I your best friend or is he? She laughed and I did too. Bam: tough love babygirl... you needed it! End FaceTime: I texted Remy before making my next call. Phone convo: Ju: Princess P to what do I owe this call? I smiled. Me: I need a favor... End convo: Aubrey: As soon as I pulled up to my house Erin was there. She got out of her car and came into the garage following me into the house. We both sat on the couch and as soon as she put her arm around me I broke down like a little bitch. "Let it all out!" She soothed rubbing my back. I pulled it together and leaned back on the couch resting my head. "Talk to me!" She said softly. "She said some really foul shit E, I have no idea who that person was this morning!" I started. I heard a text chime and E could be heard typing on her phone before reply tone sounded. "What happened?" Was her reply shortly after. So I broke all the way down from the shower sex to the movie night to the argument this morning. She listened carefully ignoring the constant messages coming to her phone giving me her full attention until my last word. I looked up to see her quickly reply before turning her intense eyes on me. "Wow... you didn't fuck up. She did!" That response from her blew me. I wasn't expecting that. "E..." she put up a hand and continued. "What you did last night was wrong, you didn't give her a choice in that matter at all! But she can't blame you for the other times that was unfair. Now her want to have a break and find herself is valid. You love so openly and so hard and it can be overwhelming when someone does that. The other person finds them self being swept up in it and losing track of themselves and their wants and their needs because they are so enveloped and focused on the other person. If that person doesn't know themselves they may later resent themselves when times get hard. Which they will. Butta every woman is not a willing ready made wife. My dream was to grow up find my soulmate and start a family. That is what I've always wanted to do. So what you and P have is like a fairytale very modern but you get it! P is ever the free spirit, she loves space and trying new things. And figuring out things for herself. She's scared so she's running and we told you she would!" "But why can't she find herself and try new things with me?!" I asked. "One you can't keep your eyes or hands off of her, and two some things a person truly needs to go through on their own. Imagine if you wouldn't have cheated on Nebby and pushed her away... would you be this successful at this age at this point in your life?" She had a point. I would still be up under her content in whatever job I had just trying to make sure I always supplied for her. Of course I imagine I would have gotten to this point someday, but not this young. And I can't imagine my life any other way honestly. "I see your point." I replied. She smirked and laid her head on my shoulder. "I won't tell you to wait for her, I'll just say let your heart be your guide!" I laughed nudging her. "You been watching Disney movies with fat mama again huh?" I asked. "Shut up lighty, that's damn good advice!" She giggled. "Thanks for coming E!" I kissed her forehead. "My man is a sweetie... he doesn't mind sharing because he knows how close we are!" I nodded making a note to call Ant and thank him as well. She hung out with me for a few hours before heading home. And not soon after that I called it a night and went to sleep hoping maybe to talk to P tomorrow and let her know I support her need for time apart... but that never happened. When I got to work the next day she had come and gone and left a note on my desk. The Note: Aubrey I love you with all of me. You have my heart, but no matter how hard you would try to support my need for space and undoubtedly try and give it to me. You're clingy as shit and you know every damn way to knock down all my defenses. You honestly know me more than I know myself and that in itself is why you're my ultimate weakness. Please just give me this time. And if it takes too long I'll understand if you move on because like I said to you I don't know how long it will take. I had Mark help me find you a knew assistant. She's not ugly but she's not BAD either... you're welcome! I just really want to find the woman in me that you fell in love with! I love you baby... and if I'm pregnant I promise to reach out! I'm sorry ❤️ Porter... I read the note at least three times before Mark and the guys came in. "AG you good?" Mark asked and all of the guys waited for my answer. "Yea I'll be straight!" I responded putting the note away. "If you want to talk..." Noah offered. "Nah let's just keep it business y'all... she wants her space and she left me to go get it. I may or may not wait on her. It is what it is." I said. "Negro please! You will wait because you love her extremely too much. Just pick a damn ring, ok buy that shit. Lock that shit up in your desk drawer bro and when she comes back do her on that desk and slide the damn ring on her finger!" Chubbs replied and all the guys laughed including myself... I love my boys. "I agree!" We all whipped our heads to see Steez and Bam in the door to my office. "Hey fellas! Aubs ya girl petty for that new assistant she look basic as shit!" Bam spoke and my Boys laughed again as I shook my head and Steez tapped her bottom. "What!" She asked innocently. She gave everyone hugs as Steez spoke to each of us. "She was foul bro, Bam told me what went down. When she got her shit together... you have my full blessing on whatever you decide!" We hugged as he finished and I silently thanked god for my family of friends. "Where is she?" I asked Bam. "Paris with Remy." I nodded... I hope she's happy. Porter: "Welcome to Paris, I hope you all enjoy your stay. As always Mr. Chambers thank you for trusting and flying with us!" The pilot spoke to us as we had just landed in Paris. My mother agreed to house sit for me a little while and my godparents would be staying with her as well as they all look at moving to Toronto to be close to Ant and I. Julian was sweet enough to fly me to Paris so that I can spend some time with Remy and figure out what I want to do! We got off the plane and I raced to Remy hugging her. "Yes I finally got you to Paris... we have so much to do and see!" I smiled at her excitement. I can't wait to see what life has for me...

VD: A video showing scenes of Izzy, BlackBeard, and Stede together to the sound of "Me, You, and Steve" by Garfunkel and Oates. It is a guitar-and-piano song sung by two women in a cutesy fashion, resembling most love songs.

It goes as follows:

The video starts with a twinkling sound followed by a soft piano intro, while scenes of BlackBeard and Izzy together play. As the guitar comes in, it switches to Izzy holding his hand close to a candle's fire so they don't go out, and then the lyrics come in: "Candlelight and moonlight all around us, I look into your eyes" It shows Izzy looking at BlackBeard while he shoves Izzy's own toe into his mouth. It then switches to the two of them in Stede's ship, talking alone while the others interact in the background, "You hold my hand underneath the table and I can't disguise the way I feel" It shows Izzy looking at BlackBeard while BlackBeard comes close to him, then goes past him and Izzy looks confused. "I could've wished a thousand wishes for this night, I can't believe that it's finally me and you, and you and me, just us, and your friend Steve" it shows BlackBeard and Izzy looking at each other while they talk, then suddenly pans over to Stede, wearing BlackBeard's outfit.

The song goes on, "Do-do-do-do-do-do, Steve," Izzy shoves Stede against the counter while he holds his wounded belly, "do-do-do-do-do-do, leave, what's the deal with your friend Steve?" BlackBeard looks away from Stede to see Izzy looking at him and Izzy waves, "oh hey, how's it going?"

Back to scenes of BlackBeard smiling at Izzy, "you took me out for waffles and to the movies, I was hoping for romance. You even took me to the Mexican circus," it shows BlackBeard being held up by chords, "I thought there was a chance we'd be alone." Izzy and BlackBeard lean against the edge of the boat together, "I could've wished a thousand wishes," Izzy holds his hands against his heart, "for Steve to disappear" Izzy flips BlackBeard off, screaming madly, "What the fuck's your fucking problem? Why's he always here?" Izzy holds Stede threateningly

Scenes of Izzy interacting with BlackBeard only for the camera to pan over and show Stede is also there play during the chorus, "Do-do-do-do-do-do, Steve, do-do-do-do-do-do, go away, what's the deal with your friend Steve?" Stede walks into a scene with Izzy and BlackBeard casually, "oh hey, how's it going?"

The duel between Izzy and Stede is shown. "It's not that I don't like your friend, but how many hours with him can you spend? And it's not that I don't think he's great, but its only you," sparkle sounds as Izzy shows Ed an illustration of BlackBeard, "only you, I wanna fellate," the word "fellate" is elongated, and as it is sung, we see Ed choking Izzy, who reaches out to touch his cheek, causing BlackBeard to leave angrily. Izzy looks happy briefly, then a little hurt

It then shows Izzy looking confused, "Are you gay for Steve? I think you may be, and that would be alright, but let a bitch know just what your steez is so, I know if I should shave tonight"

Izzy talks to BlackBeard right after the toe-cutting scene, "I could've wished a thousand wishes 'cause I like to be with you," it then shows Izzy watching Ed and Stede laughing together, "but if it's always me and you, and your friend Steve there's nothing I can-"

"Do-do-do-do-do-do, Steve," Izzy stabs Stede, "Do-do-do-do-do-do, why don't you just go be with your best friend," it shows Ed and Stede kissing, "and boyfriend... Steve?" Ed smiles at Stede. End VD

What’s the deal with your friend Stede?
