Yoojin Han being a little shit when his big bad S-rankers aren't around

[vladdyissues]

I recently started thinking with some friends about Pompous Pep and the theme they have of son and father, which led me to think that maybe Vlad if he were to fall in love with Danny and he was just like Maddy and insisted on going out with Sam, Vlad would act THE SAME AS WITH MADDY, every desperate attempt for attention even manipulating him to end up with him alone (like he did with Maddy in "Maternal Instinct"), The only difference is that he wouldn't do it in the open way that he did with her that literally everyone knew about his crush except Jack...

With Danny he would surely be a damn cautious one, hugging Danny pretending that he still loves him as a son and in the privacy of his mansion / place where he is trying to keep him, would he try to... convince him to stay with him?, probably he wouldn't say from one moment to the next that he fell in love with him, I'm sure he would come up with a great plan where Danny had no choice but to stay and listen to Vlad's manipulations

I imagine: Maybe he subtly convinced Jack and Maddy that Danny needed a mental clearing from teenage fatigue and to make him more convincing, he would also invite Jazz to a "relaxation retreat", and probably on the way he would take Jazz away so he could be alone with Danny, Maybe to avoid attacks the place where they are is a closed place full of cameras, using manipulation of "If you do this everyone will see that you are a ghost Daniel... Don't think I'm not capable of uploading this to the internet and the news..."

Maybe he does that and even then he only tries to convince him to stay with him, I don't feel that he comes and says "I like you Daniel!" ... I highly doubt it, Vlad is a bastard ...

"You're trapped, Badger"

"We're both trapped... If you transform they will see you too"

"Whatever you say... But you're not leaving here"

"Now what the hell do you want!?"

"Listen to me...I just want-"

"I don't care if you want something!"

"DON'T INTERRUPT ME"

"..."

"I just want you to come with me Daniel, come on, we don't have to hate each other...I can give you everything that your parents couldn't give you even if they spent their whole lives hunting ghosts"

"No, fuck you"

I saw it so clearly:

The week-long "teen retreat" Vlad planned conveniently means dropping Jazz off at an American Psychological Association convention with ten thousand dollars in cash along the way, ensuring that he and Danny are alone the entire time. Danny is of course suspicious of how nice Vlad is being. He doesn't trust him at all, and when he continues to rebuff Vlad's increasingly "friendly" advances, Vlad has no choice but to give him the unpleasant news:

Jazz has been injected with nanobots that will kill her if Danny goes ghost. (They've been programmed to activate when triggered by an RFID signal on the same frequency as Danny's unique spectral signature.) Vlad is the only person who knows the code to deactivate the bots—which he will do once their little vacation is over.

See, I don't think Danny would respond to threats of being outed as a half-ghost. Video evidence could be written off as a hoax or a clever edit. Vlad would look like a half-baked conspiracy theorist. Nor do I think Danny would respond to threats made upon his person. But his family and friends... I believe Danny would endure some of the worst pain and torment to keep them safe.

So when his sister is threatened with death, Danny has no choice but to cooperate with Vlad.

Twist: After agreeing to Vlad's terms and basically signing over his entire life (and afterlife) to remain at Vlad's side in some kind of pseudo marriage contract, Danny plans to get out of his predicament by revealing evidence of Vlad's manipulation to the authorities and retrieve a sample of Jazz's blood to show the deactivated nanobots. Except—

The nanobots were never injected in the first place.

It was a ruse devised by Vlad that would give him exactly what he wants while also absolving him of any legal involvement. With no evidence of his extortion, he is essentially innocent. The lawsuit is over before it can begin.

And now Danny is truly fucked.

They say there are only two things in life that are certain. And with this Legendary Maul, you can add a third, dealing damage to your foes whether you hit or miss.

Extortion

Weapon (maul), legendary (requires attunement)

“This maul has a smaller head than most weapons of its kind, and a longer shaft. It can be swung faster and with more precision, dealing precise and devastating damage. The edges of the head are lined with small spikes and tusks. The shaft, mostly covered by a stained white leather wrapping, has small notches lining it from top to bottom.”

You have a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Additionally, the first time each turn you miss with an attack, you may deal psychic damage to your target equal to your Strength modifier.

When you hit a creature with this weapon, you may expend a hit die and roll it, regaining that many hit points, and add that much damage to the attack. If the attack is a critical hit, you double the healing and damage, but only expend the one hit die. You can use this property twice, regaining expended uses on a short or long rest.

Death and Taxes. Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with this weapon, all enemy creatures within 10 feet of you must make a DC16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you for 1 minute, and take psychic damage equal to your Strength modifier.

It started with a voice mail demanding payment of some kind, then a series of missed phone calls, later came the gun shots targeting the home of a Metro Vancouver business owner whose family and community are now gripped with fear. The businessman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the original message demanded a payment, “otherwise there would be consequences,” he said. At first, it seemed like a “prank” of some kind, and he didn’t take the calls seriously, but he called the would-be extortionists back.

The former head of the Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, allegedly threatened a chief prosecutor of the international criminal court in a series of secret meetings in which he tried to pressure her into abandoning a war crimes investigation, the Guardian can reveal.

Yossi Cohen’s covert contacts with the ICC’s then prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, took place in the years leading up to her decision to open a formal investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in occupied Palestinian territories.

That investigation, launched in 2021, culminated last week when Bensouda’s successor, Karim Khan, announced that he was seeking an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, over the country’s conduct in its war in Gaza.

The prosecutor’s decision to apply to the ICC’s pre-trial chamber for arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant, alongside three Hamas leaders, is an outcome Israel’s military and political establishment has long feared.

Cohen’s personal involvement in the operation against the ICC took place when he was the director of the Mossad. His activities were authorised at a high level and justified on the basis the court posed a threat of prosecutions against military personnel, according to a senior Israeli official.

Another Israeli source briefed on the operation against Bensouda said the Mossad’s objective was to compromise the prosecutor or enlist her as someone who would cooperate with Israel’s demands.

A third source familiar with the operation said Cohen was acting as Netanyahu’s “unofficial messenger”.

Cohen, who was one of Netanyahu’s closest allies at the time and is emerging as a political force in his own right in Israel, personally led the Mossad’s involvement in an almost decade-long campaign by the country to undermine the court.

THE HORRORS CREATED BY THE “FREEMASON” OCCULTISTS

Christián Chávez, Mexican actor and singer who was extorted with his sexuality.

First of all I apologize if my English is not that good, because although I understand the language it is not because I have studied it, it is because of all the fics I have read lol

Christian Chávez is a Mexican singer and actor known for his participation in the successful television series "Rebelde" and for being a member of the musical group RBD. If you are not from Latin America, it is certain that you do not know them, but RBD is one of the most important groups in Latin pop culture in the 2000s despite its short transition in the music scene, said cultural phenomenon that led to the soap opera "Rebelde".

Christian Chávez rose to fame in 2004 when he played the role of "Giovanni Méndez López" in the Mexican soap opera "Rebelde." The soap opera became an international phenomenon and spawned the musical group RBD, in which Chávez played an important role as a vocalist. RBD became a very successful group in Latin America and other parts of the world, releasing numerous albums and popular singles.

"Rebelde" influenced the fashion and style of the youth of the time. Characters in the series had distinctive fashion styles that fans would want to emulate, from clothing to makeup. The aesthetics of "Rebelde" became a fashion reference in many places. The series and its music also influenced Education: The series addressed topics relevant to young people, such as friendship, love, rebellion and the challenges of adolescence. Additionally, he promoted the importance of education. The use of school uniforms in the plot also influenced the way fashion and education were perceived in some places.

We return to 2023, the year in which Christián Chávez, together with his RBD colleagues, will return to the stage, thanks to the extensive concert tour that the group announced a few months ago. For Chávez it will be a special moment, well, if it will be the first to do it as himself.

For years, the singer filled stadiums as part of the popular band, however, he could never truly feel free, since, at that time, he kept his sexual orientation private. But in 2007 he was forced to come out of the closet, after some photographs of his wedding were leaked, it is one of the lowest moments on Mexican television. But before telling you about the terrifying experience that Chávez experienced, I give you context of the story:

RBD, the musical group that was formed from the successful telenovela "Rebelde," had a close relationship with Televisa, the media company that produced the series. Here is a summary of the history of RBD and its relationship with Televisa:

Formation of RBD: RBD originated as part of the Mexican soap opera "Rebelde", which aired from 2004 to 2006. The soap opera was produced by Televisa and followed the story of a group of young students at an elite school. The actors who played the main characters in the series also formed the musical group RBD.

International Success: RBD quickly became an international phenomenon. The group's music, which combined pop and Latin music, attracted a wide Spanish-speaking audience around the world. Their albums, singles, and concert tours were hugely successful, and they became one of the most popular pop bands in Latin America.

Relationship with Televisa: During RBD's years of success, the group maintained a close relationship with Televisa. The company promoted the group's music and projects through its media platform, which contributed significantly to RBD's popularity.

Televisa, officially known as Grupo Televisa, is one of the largest Spanish-speaking media companies in the world. Founded in 1955, Televisa is headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. The company operates in various sectors of the media industry, including broadcast television, pay television, content production, radio, music, film and telecommunications. Regarding their ability to "block" actors, it is important to understand that media companies, such as Televisa, have significant power in the entertainment industry due to their influence and resources. This can translate into the ability to influence the careers of actors, presenters and other talent. Televisa, in particular, has been known for being one of the leading producers of soap operas and entertainment programs in Latin America. Actors who work in soap operas and Televisa programs often gain great visibility and popularity in the region. As a result, Televisa can have an important influence on the careers of actors who collaborate with the company.

Now that you have context, let's go back to Christian. Christian said in an interview in 2022 that he already had a husband when he joined RBD, but he had not yet 'come out of the closet', and Televisa found out because they wanted to extort the company with photos of his wedding.

Christian: "My producer called me and said, 'Hey, are you married?' And I was like, 'Oh, why? 'Someone got the photos (of your wedding) and they're trying to blackmail Televisa.' At that time, we were at the top and there were a lot of kids going to the concerts and following us. Then he said: 'This is it. Televisa wants to deny everything,'" he recalled in an interview. Christian did not agree, so, not yet ready to open this part of his life to the public, he wrote a letter in which he talked about love and being the people we really are, although he explained that he does not use the word gay, because he was afraid that this could affect his career.

"It was very difficult for me because I was only 23 years old and I didn't have any guidance. There was Ricky Martin, but he hadn't come out (of the closet) yet. I didn't know how to (handle it), especially because they forced me to do it and I wasn't ready." .

Luckily, his fans took the news very well, but the television station executives did not think the same, they even took away the lead role in an important project, because it would no longer be "credible" to the public. With few opportunities in acting, Christian turned to music, where he experienced something similar.

With his career completely stagnant, the singer was plunged into a deep depression that led him to try to take his life: "I was so depressed and so destroyed at that moment. I thought that was it. I tried to commit suicide and there was a moment in my life that I could say that I lost everything. I had no money. It was a joke for the media. I hated myself," he added.

RBD ended because they were fed up with Televisa

Among the revelations that the singer made was that all the protagonists of RBD signed a contract before starting, but they never imagined the great success that the soap opera and the group would have, as they even filled the Los Angeles Coliseum.

All of them continued to earn the same, unlike what happens for example in the United States, and he made the comparison with "Friends", whose protagonists were earning more as the series became more successful.

"That's why the group ended, because we were already fed up," he said.

Sure, it might look good on Instagram when you dress like an old money rich boy, heir to some grand fortune who likes nothing better than yachting off the coast of Italy. It doesn’t matter that the yacht is rented for the day, that the clothes aren’t Louis Vuitton but are in fact Zara….its about the illusion. The fantasy.

Alas, perhaps the illusion was too convincing, because this handsome little poser caught the eye of a criminal gang who thought they could make a quick buck off the rich guy.

After snatching him from his yacht and transferring him to their boat, they locked his ankles in stocks and got to work. Feathers, oil, brushes, grooming gloves, the gang was well prepared for pushing a ticklish rich brat to his breaking point.

The poor lad’s desperate, breathless insistence of his lack of wealth (they wanted a $150k wire transfer) fell on deaf ears, and eventually they gagged him to ‘give him time to change his mind about being such a prissy little tightwad’.

The ticklish young man pissed himself twice before they realised that maybe he wasn’t as rich as they thought he was. Nobody with the wealth to end the ruthless tickling on his pampered soles could have resisted for so long…and all the while protesting his inability to afford it.

Whoops.
