Fandom: Deltarune

‘Verse: Human AU

Pairing: Swatch/Spamton [Swatchton]

Characters: Swatch Paletta, Spamton Addison, T.M. Tanner [Tasque Manager], Catechu Dyer [Swatchling], Indigo Dyer [Swatchling]

Rating: Mature

Chapter title: Are We There Yet?

Chapter summary: The new semester brings both Spamton and Swatch an equal measure of happiness and uncertainty.

Author notes: The usual trigger warnings touching on Mike's past abuse. Also, if you read between the lines, there's non-explicit sexual content in our protagonists' new relationship. The content in this story will not go above the Mature label, but I may write some sexy "outtakes" at a later point.

__________________

At first, living together was an idyll. Mostly.

Spamton’s heart felt full to bursting with how much he loved being in Swatch’s company in their own space. When the blizzard at the end of January gave them both an unexpected four-day weekend, neither of the two were unhappy about being snowed in. Fortunately the power never went out, but they had an excuse to find new and inventive ways of keeping each other warm in nearly every room in the house.

The tradition of Spamton playing the piano just for Swatch before bedtime, and the accompanying tradition of Swatch reading aloud from one of Spamton’s books when the two were in bed together, got its start that weekend.

On that Sunday afternoon, when it was fairly obvious that Sunday dinner with Indo, Catto, and T.M. would have to be canceled due to the increasing snowfall and the wind creating whiteout conditions, Spamton voiced something that had been on his mind.

“I p-p-probably should have asked you this a hell of a long time ago, b-but when’s your birthday?”

He could feel Swatch’s rumbling laugh up against his side. “November 20th.”

“Whuh– Why didn’t you TELL me I had missed your birthday?”

“You and I had a few other things on our mind at the time, you’ll recall. There wasn’t an ‘us” back then, so it literally didn’t occur to me to tell you when my birthday was.”

As they stood together at the big bay window watching the snow, Swatch gave Spamton a comforting squeeze and continued, “And besides which, if you really wanted to know, you could have asked your brother Ballew.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, he never told you how he scoped me out before you moved into Overlook?”

“G-g-good Lord.”

“The very good Lord, indeed.”

Spamton pulled Swatch over to the piano bench and made them sit while he knelt in front of them and propped his elbows on Swatch’s knees. Eyes shining, he declared, “Well, I need to - to fix this. How about a quarter-birthday p-party?”

“A quarter-birthday?”

“Yeah. When I was really little…”

“You’re still really little.”

“Hmmmph. As I was s-saying, when I was really YOUNG, my sis-sis-sister told me about half-birthdays. She kept saying one year that she was g-g-going to c-cut my presents right d-down the middle with an ax…”

“Nice sister you’ve got.”

“S-she was joking. But she did m-make me a half-cake.”

Swatch hummed thoughtfully. “We could co-opt that idea, with modifications of course.”

The next day, Catto, Indo, and T.M. all got the same text message.

Quarter-birthday celebration for Swatch. Sunday night dinner on February 20th.

_____________

Spamton got accustomed very quickly (and very happily) to falling asleep most nights with his face, his hair, and various parts of his body being stroked by Swatch’s long strong fingers.

Swatch relished being woken up each morning by Spamton trailing kisses over their pecs, nuzzling along their jawline, or nibbling at their ears.

Even though Swatch no longer NEEDED the wedge pillow, they had gotten accustomed to sleeping upright on it. And since Spamton insisted on using his own wedge pillow in their shared bed, it seemed to just make sense to have the two pillows side-by-side up, propped against the headboard. And of course having both their heads at the same level meant the setup was perfect for kissing each other. Kissing often and enthusiastically became the norm for their time together, day and night.

The two would generally fall asleep facing one another, with Spamton draping at least one leg, sometimes both legs, over Swatch's legs. At some point in the night, however, they would each turn on their sides, and the shape of the remaining hours until dawn would be determined by one small factor.

If Swatch were turned away and Spamton could hug them from behind, the two of them would both sleep restfully through the night.

The opposite could not be said to be true.

Spamton *wanted* to be spooned, desperately. He tried so hard to relax, to fit his body in an S-curve to parallel Swatch’s S-curve and fall asleep without issue in Swatch’s embrace.

But his mind wouldn’t stop screaming in panic and remembrance when he felt the weight of Swatch’s arms holding him from behind. They weren’t Swatch’s arms then, in his muzzy exhaustion-addled brain; those arms were Mike’s, and those arms were a prison, a velvet trap with hidden spikes and claws.

He managed not to *physically* scream the first few times with Swatch as the big spoon and Spamton the little spoon. And, with difficulty, he curbed the conditioned impulse to leap out of bed and start mindlessly cleaning things that didn’t need to be cleaned. But he couldn’t stop himself from involuntarily shaking, and after several nights his shaking evolved into full-body shudders that would wake Swatch up. They’d sit up in alarm and turn the bedside lamp on, worried that Spamton was having some kind of seizure, and the ensuing sputtering of mutual reassurances would keep both of them awake for hours.

Finally during one of those nights Spamton tried to make a joke about “needing to see you coming”, but he could have smacked himself when he saw the look on Swatch’s face go from concerned to downright agonized and heartbroken. Swatch hugged him tightly and murmured in his ear, “And that’s the truth of it, isn’t it?”

Spamton could not think of any way to answer that, so he just let Swatch hold him and tried not to cry.

Damn his broken brain. Damn Mike.

After that night, Spamton noticed that Swatch would make sure to either face him in bed, or to faux-casually say something like, “Starfish Express now boarding” before turning on their side and letting Spamton embrace their back, one of his legs thrown over their hip.

It was both endearing and frustrating, but it at least let them both have a decent night’s sleep.

______________

Spamton looked at the schedule of home games and away games taped to the refrigerator and sighed. He hadn’t factored into his enjoyment of living in the townhouse with Swatch how much he would miss Indigo and Catechu.

It wasn’t like he *never* saw them; Spamton ventured into Plato’s Cave most afternoons at lunchtime and hung out with one or both of the brothers as they were eating before going to practice.

And as indicated on the paper schedule, Sunday dinners with the twins and T.M. would still be a thing, on the weekends when the basketball team wasn’t traveling. The five of them had mutually decided to alternate between the townhouse and Luigi’s, since the twins didn’t want to impose on their two new roommates at the Overlook.

But he found himself thinking that life was too quiet without the crowd he’d gotten used to being a part of.

He was startled the first time Swatch invited him to go see the team playing a home game at the campus gym; he found himself both enjoying it and at the same time regretting that he’d never gotten to see Swatch play. He would have liked to have discussed the topic with Swatch’s cousins, and with Indigo in particular, but the opportunity never was there to do so.

Spamton saw a lot more of T.M. in the first two weeks of the semester than he’d expected; he ran into her at the radio station, of course. But he’d run into her a lot more frequently at the campus library, where he’d gotten a job. He’d followed through on his statement to Swatch that he was going to split living expenses; he’d written to Katherine Shalazar, his work-study boss at the library at NDU, asked for a recommendation from her, and submitted an application to Inwood’s library. While he couldn’t be sure that the Addison name didn’t have something to do with it, he was relieved when he got the job acceptance and could commit to Sunday afternoons and Monday nights assisting at the reference desk.

When asked about it, T.M. first said she was doing more studying at the library than in her dorm room because she needed specific materials for her independent study. But she eventually admitted to Spamton that since she and Aster had broken up, seeing GiGi and Leroux together was making her down in the dumps. T.M. was quick to add that, surprisingly, GiGi wasn’t being inconsiderate about her and T.M.’s shared space; Leroux was a good influence that way. But T.M. still felt like a third wheel in the dorm suite all too often.

Spamton’s first impulse was to ask T.M. to move in with him and Swatch, but he caught himself before the words could leave his mouth. He needed to analyze living with *just* Swatch didn’t feel like enough to him, sometimes.

________________

Swatch was almost afraid to admit how contented they felt, how much in their element they were, living in the townhouse with Spamton. They didn’t have to be a caretaker; they didn’t have to be accountable to anyone for their whereabouts; they didn’t have to conform to anyone’s schedule except that of their own college courses and their shifts at Plato’s Cave.

They had been lucky to land to snag hours before the work-study window closed; they got their Wednesday night closing slot back, and were also scheduled for the Monday and Tuesday lunch shifts. Without the athletic expectations hanging over their head, and with this being their last semester before graduating, Swatch had much more leeway to decide the structure of their classroom day, and found themselves ecstatic to not have to get up at the crack of dawn or to go to sleep before midnight.

More time to spend in bed with Spamton. Which was, in their opinion, an unmitigated delight. Swatch never tired of making their partner happy, while learning things about their own body that they’d never imagined before.

And more time to spend in their studio.

THEIR.

STUDIO .

Swatch had never even dared to dream of having an opportunity to say those two words together aloud before they turned sixty-five. They had expected to be in service all their life to some degree or other, putting others first and themself last.

But the dream that Swatch didn’t even know they’d had was coming true… a dedicated QUIET space that was theirs to create in.

The quiet was something that Swatch felt guiltily grateful for. They’d been used to the noises of apartment living all their life; people stomping or yelling on floors above and on floors below. The dorm where they’d lived from freshman year through junior year, not to mention the Overlook, hadn’t been much better. And while they loved their cousins, sometimes Swatch just needed space. Spamton could never be as boisterous as Catto, nor was he as moody as Indo could be on occasion.

The only noises in the townhouse that Swatch heard, barring street and subway noises from outside, were the noises they themself or Spamton made. The thick walls between each of the rowhouses acted as an excellent buffer to sound. The people who lived on either side of them were elderly and friendly to both Swatch and Spamton, especially when the two of them helped shovel out the adjoining driveways during the blizzard. Waving hello and goodbye mornings and evenings to their neighbors became a habit.

Spamton never intruded when Swatch was in the studio, which was a nice change from others in the past feeling the need to peer over their shoulder whenever Swatch was sketching or painting, back in Queens.

Spamton always asked whether he should close the door to his “library”, the other bedroom on the second floor of the townhouse, before he put music on.

Even when Spamton sang in the shower, it wasn’t at volumes that would shatter the ceramic.

Swatch found themself ridiculously happy, even if at the back of their mind they knew it was only a temporary situation. Everything would have to change when they graduated, but they pushed that thought away whenever it tried to surface.

__________

“How - how do you feel about Valentine’s Day, Swatch?”

There, he’d asked the question with barely a trace of a stutter. And he’d made eye contact while asking…. Score!

Swatch looked back at Spamton across the dining room table. They had both started using its surface as the best place to spread out homework and textbooks and laptops while studying together or separately. “I’ve never really had any reason to develop feelings one way or the other about Valentine’s Day. Before now, that is.” They ended that statement with a gentle smile.

Why is this enough for you? Spamton wanted to scream at the top of his lungs. Why am I enough for you?

Of course, he didn’t scream. Instead he said with a smile of his own, “G-g-good! No precon-conceptions, then. No ridiculous expectations.”

“Maybe not, but I’m open to formulating some joint plans. Unless you’d rather I surprise you?”

“Only if - if - if I c-c-can surprise you, too.”

“It’s a deal.”

Swatch stretched, rolling their neck on their shoulders with an audible pop. Spamton winced at the sound. He got up and walked around the table so he could start rubbing Swatch’s back. Swatch took off their glasses and leaned forward to rest their head on their folded arms, making noises of deep contentment low in their throat.

You never ask me more than I can give.And I want to give you everything. I’m just so damn afraid.

“Easy on the chokehold, Spamton. Not my kink.”

That snapped him out of his self-pity. “S-sorry. Got lost in thought.” He moved his hands over Swatch’s shoulders and started tracing the sides of their neck more lightly with the tips of his fingers.

“Aaaaah, that’s more like it. Remind me to return the favor later tonight.”

“It’s - it’s a d-deal.”

______________________

Neither Spamton nor Swatch could keep their respective “surprises” a secret for long. Spamton managed to snag tickets to the final showing of the day at the Hayden Planetarium on the Saturday before Valentine’s Day, and Swatch countered with the promise of “the best dim sum you’ve ever had”, although they wouldn’t say where.

The weather heated up in the second week of February and melted away the snowdrifts as though there had never been a blizzard at all. That Saturday afternoon was cloudy and windy, with temperatures in the mid-fifties. They both layered in turtlenecks and thick sweaters, rather than taking bulky coats with them on the subway. Swatch was in black and white, but had wrapped a red ribbon around their cane; Spamton wore burgundy and charcoal. Both decided on jeans and sneakers, though, since it seemed a shame to miss the chance of walking in such good weather.

The platform for the 1 train at 231st Street was nearly empty when they got on board. Swatch gravitated towards a corner seat near the end of the subway car, away from any windows. Spamton grinned at their choice, guessing that Swatch was trying to avoid tripping anyone with either their long legs or their cane, and made himself comfortable against Swatch’s side for the ride down to 79th Street.

The walk over to the 81st Street entrance, bypassing the closer entrance to the Museum of Natural History, was a brisk one; hand-in-hand they scurried in the face of a nearly 30 mile-per-hour wind, “Scarves next time!” Swatch commented breathlessly as they finally got inside. Spamton handed them a tissue and used one himself to clean his fogged glasses.

The planetarium show was incredible, but Spamton found himself watching Swatch’s face through most of the presentation, rather than the “sky”. Reflections of stars and galaxies played over his partner’s glasses, almost turning their lenses into screens. Swatch’s expression was almost… worshipful?... as they gazed upwards.

“Did - did I do alright?” Spamton whispered as the show neared its end. Swatch’s glowing smile was answer enough.

When the two got back outside at 5:30pm, it was fully dark but the wind had dropped. The temperature was still comfortable, so they took their time walking down Central Park West, this time with Spamton’s hand tucked into the crook of Swatch’s arm. The height difference between the two of them didn’t seem to matter as the city blocks passed under their feet.

“We’re n-not walking all the way - all the way to C-C-Canal Street, are we?” Spamton ventured to ask as they approached Columbus Circle.

“Tired already?”

“N-not if you aren’t.”

“Nah, not tired, but definitely starting to get hungry. Shall we ride?”

Swatch turned them both around the corner and down the subway stairs, their cane tapping on the pavement with each step. Spamton leaned his head against Swatch’s arm as they waited on the platform and said, “You really make that c-cane look elegant.” “Why, thank you, kind sir. Yup, Uncle Julius knew what he was doing picking this out. Practical AND fashionable.”

The A train came first and Spamton went to grab a seat, but Swatch stopped him, saying in a teasing tone, “We’re not going that far.”

And they were as good as their word; they pulled Spamton towards the subway car doors at the 42nd Street stop.

When he realized where exactly Swatch was taking him for Valentine's Day, Spamton had to laugh. Not mockingly, but joyfully. The pun-laden name was absolutely perfect.

Swatch’s smile was triumphant as they opened the door of the restaurant and ushered them both inside. “My awesome boyfriend deserves ‘awesum dim sum’. I will brook no arguments.”

The food was as delicious as Swatch had claimed, and Spamton enjoyed the opportunity to be able to take small bites of a variety of things without being made to feel like he was some oddity that couldn’t eat properly.

He polished off his hibiscus tea with a happy sound. “This was p-p-perfect. I c-couldn’t have p-picked a better choice. Thank you.”

“I’m glad.” Swatch looked at the clock behind the counter and started to gather themselves to rise. “They’re probably going to throw us out. It’s past closing time.”

“Uh-huh. These k-k-kinds of places were always - always more a lunch sp-spot when I was down here.”

“Oh, you’ve been here before?”

“N-n-n-not here specifically, no. But p-p-p-places like it further d-d-d-d-downtown.”

Please, please, please, Swatch, don’t bring up my past tonight. Let’s just enjoy the here and now.

And it was almost as if Swatch had heard his inner thoughts, because they merely put a warm strong arm over Spamton’s shoulders as they both started walking back to Port Authority and the 1 train to head uptown and home.

And ALSO : A January 2023 Comet Will be Visible from Earth for the First Time Since the Prehistoric Era *

and ALSO, (sidereal zodiac) : Venus penetrates in Aquarius on 23/01 (until mid-February), yummy... "ideal transit to get rid of old beliefs related to close relationships (…)*" + Venus next, will be conjoined to Saturn : serious, rigor. A good little mise en abîme to appreciate the square Mars / Venus that will occur at the same time, and will come to disturb us exactly where it hurts.

A Girl Has No Name.

... making January's opportunity to spot it with the naked eye an incredibly rare opportunity. The last time C/2022 appeared in the night sky our planet was locked in a global ice age, and our ancient neanderthal ancestors roamed the land. When it next slips from view and makes its exit from the inner solar system, it won’t be seen again until long after we, and potentially our entire race, is gone.

*I quote the words of the confirmed astrologer friend who has been trying for years to teach me the basics of astrology, without succeeding, but who perseveres in this thankless task with patience and sincerity. <3

@buddyblanc @she-who-keeps-the-lighthouse

Again, I have to talk about that. I don't know if I'm off topic, but with Buddy we see a very Mercurian thing in this comest, very "quicksilver", volatile, etc. So I can't help but associate it with some form of healing, change, movement, "the path is the goal." I don't know if you can do something with Asklepios, but it was impossible not to tag you <3

Also buddy, cause I know that you like my bad Astrology :D

To complete, Moon + Sun in Capricorn. You have to take advice from Elders. (alive, but not only.) This is the time to set long-term goals. There is a very good time slot to plant "seeds": this Sunday between 2:30 pm and 6:30 pm. (I'm in GMT+1 I think.)

@tobacconist I hope you don't mind me for trolling your post this way...?

it is two days until chinese new year, thus begining the dread month of rajab.

and then comes lent

Hi Faby I have a question L said that she knew she was queer when she fell in love with her best friend when she was 15 and that her and L started to have a physical connection when she was 15 and I know everyone says that she was talking about C because L met C for the first time when she was still 15 but to me that doesn't make sense because L and C only started to get closer after L turned 16 and her and C basically just met so how could she be talking about C?

Hi to you, dear Anon 👋🏼😄 I know it doesn’t seem to make sense because the narrative’s goal is to confuse you and get you on their side by making you abandon the ship. You have to pay attention to the details and what they say because there are always flaws in the stories that our Camren are forced to tell. But don’t worry, I’m here. I’ve already talked about it many times, but I’ll explain it again to make you understand better and answer your ask at the same time.

So. During Becky G’s ‘En La Sala’ podcast (October 28, 2020), Lauren said she realized she was queer because she fell in love with her best friend when she was 15 and they started having a physical relationship. She forced herself to think that kissing and sleeping with her friend every once in a while was just a funny thing and nothing important; something that she has ‘normalized’ in her head by justifying it as something that ‘straight girls do’, and therefore fueling her internalized homophobia. Personally speaking, I believe in this. Not in the ‘she fell in love’ part because Laur’s still forced to say that the only girl she has ever loved is Lucy, but I believe Lauren and Lucy really did everything L said. Lucy was the first real unlock thanks to which Laur experienced the attraction and the feelings towards the girls she’d always felt and hidden deep inside herself. I firmly believe that Lucy was the first girl among her crushes on girls Laur acted on, and with whom she experimented in secret given the environment in which they both grew up and which still surrounded them at the time.

Now, the time frame in which this experimentation happened. Paul Martinez, the one she believed was her first love and whom she believed she would marry, broke up with her in late July 2011, and she only managed to move on when she wrote a song about how she felt on September 17th of that same year. Lucy moved back to Puerto Rico in February 2012, returning to visit Miami occasionally (that’s why the fetus pictures with Lucy and Camren at Laur’s house). Therefore, the time frame in which that experimentation happened, is from the end of September 2011 to February 2012. It could’ve happened in all those four months, or only in two, or only in one. Who knows. But that’s the time frame. Time frame during which Laur was 15 years old.

Having explained this, let’s move on. Camren first met during the first phase of the audition, the ‘cattle call’, on May 1, 2012, in Greensboro, North Carolina. You know? Where that short and really cute conversation started by Mila happened: “Hi, I like your shirt”, “Thanks. I like your jacket”. But it ended up there because they didn’t become friends from that day. They didn’t exchange phone numbers and they therefore didn’t even spend time together at home in Miami. They were still just two strangers who had auditioned for a TV show to pursue their dreams like so many other people. Oh and, on May 1, 2012, Laur was still 15, and Mila had turned since almost two months; therefore they were both 15 years old. The moment they became friends by no longer detaching one from the hip of the other, was two months later, on July 25 in Miami, when they met for the first time for the first day of boot camp (L went to C: “You’re the Cuban girl!”). On July 25, 2012, Lauren had by then turned 16 for nearly a month, and Camila was still 15.

Now let’s move on to the biggest miscalculated mistake that, either they made her say, or Laur herself said; perhaps even deliberately and not by mistake. On June 26, 2020, and therefore before the podcast with Becky, the PAPER Magazine article was released. In that article, Lauren explained, along with other things, that she’d been in love with her best friend for seven years. But the calculations don’t add up, for two things to be exact.

First thing: The Laucy narrative includes that A) Laur fell in love with her sure, Jan at 15 when they kissed and hooked up during parties.

P.S. Is it just me, or does this smell like what actually started happening to Camren the following year? I mean, the Like Friends Do situation whereby Laur got out of her internalized homophobia and realized she loved her and then got her head out of her ass by finally going to get her girl? No? Just me?

B) The wanting but not being able to be with her and giving her what she wanted made them grew apart not by her choice and not because Lucy returned to live in Puerto Rico and they simply grew apart for the distance and Lauren’s busy schedule with 5H, no, no.

P.S. I don’t know about you, but this still smells like Camren’s story to me.

C) Lucy returned to her life after she had a car accident on May 17, 2015:

“She came back into my life when I was 18. I was on tour and I was in my room in a hotel somewhere and she called me”. From that moment on, Lauren decided they would’ve been together “all in” and “now we’re gonna be in this relationship”. Yeah, sure. No contract that was supposed to help both of them involved here. No, no.

D) They broke up because Laur confirmed that theirs was a very toxic relationship, and the specific reason she gave was because they both weren’t fully healed from the past yet, but that they still loved each other very much. Mmmh-hmm, okay 🥱😴 Yeah, no, yeah, sorry. I fell asleep as a result of hearing bullshit.

Second thing: Ty.

Shall we reveal the miscalculation (again)? In love with her at 15, got together with her at 18 and broke up at 20 (1 year and 8 months, from mid-May 2015 to mid-January 2017), and after less than a month, start of another PR dating Ty. Now, 20 minus 15 (Laur’s two ages from the beginning to the end of the ‘story’), how much is it? 5. Shall we calculate from the moment of Laucy experiment to when they ‘broke up’? From late September 2011 to mid January 2017, how many years are? 5! 5 years and four months to be exact. According to the logic of the narrative, if she was oh so in love with Ty as they made her proclaim every two seconds, it means that she’d stopped loving Lucy that same year, and it’s not 7 years anyway! It’s still 5! Do we want to try with two last calculations? Okay. Also because you may have wondered: “Faby, what if we instead calculated from when ‘they got together’ to the release of that PAPER Magazine article?”. I’d answer that it’s still 5 years. From mid-May 2015 to June 25, 2020, it’s 5 years and 1 month to be exact. “Faby, what if we tried to calculate from the beginning to the publication of the article?” From the end of September 2011 (beginning of the time frame of the Laucy experimentation) to the publication of the article on 25 June 2020, it’s 8 years and 9 months to be precise. Not even in this case it’s 7! So, as you can see… And at this point I wonder: is there an alternate world where math calculations lead to 7 and not 5 here? What was that? Why say 7? Well.. I actually know why.

Shall we play another little math game? Can I reveal the truth in the lie? Let’s try to make sense of this 7 together now.

Lauren explained that she’d been in love with her best friend for 7 years in that interview, right? The interview with PAPER Magazine came out on June 26, 2020, but was done before the date it was released. We all know Laur was born on the 27th, and therefore in both cases, Laur was 23. And tell me, dear, how much is 23 minus 7? Sorry, I can’t hear your answer. A little louder please? Got it, got it. Can I also write it for everyone else who’s reading? Okay, thanks: 16. Wait, 16??? So who was Lauren actually talking about? Ohhh. How foolish of me. That’s why it ‘smelled like what actually started happening to Camren the following year’ to me. Because Laur was talking about Camila all along 🤦🏻‍♀️

🤣😏😎

Sarcasm and jokes aside, do you see how easy it is to manipulate and confuse people's ideas? It's still 7 years if we calculate from mid-January 2013 (after the first real New Year's kiss and the signing of the contracts with Syco/Epic) to the release of that PAPER Magazine article on June 25, 2020. And it's still 7 years even if we calculate from July 25, 2012 (first day of boot camp) to June 25, 2020. Camila is the answer to the 7 years because even if they try to make Laur modify the narrative by making her change the names with the PRs' ones, she's always talking about Mila anyway in reality.

Does it make more sense now, dear? I hope I’ve taken away all your doubts 🥰 Stay safe and have a good day 🤗 You guys too ❤

There is a light at the end of the tunnel

Hello, Stuck. Sorry, I don’t know your real name.

I wrote this long ass post to bring some light into the fandom and between the CSs, and I hope you can post it? I’m new in the Tumblr world, but not in the 5H fandom. I don’t quite know how it works yet and, for the moment, I only know your blog and those of @emisonme, @karlaswine, @sun-to-my-luna, @underthatimpression, and @mentesimploria because, in one way or another, you’re all connected to each other. I just wanted to tell you guys how much I appreciate every single one of you, the passion you have, and the hope you keep alive among those who, like me, love the girls. Also, the patience you guys have, especially against the haters, is admirable. I love the fact that you keep going. Because this is your sacred place, as it should be.

This is the very first time I’ve ever done anything like this. I’m what can be defined as a ‘silent fan’. I never commented on anything in the girls’ posts, not even on the fan accounts I follow. I don’t have Twitter. I have Facebook but it’s like I don’t have it because I don’t use it. I have Wattpad (obviously). I recently registered here on Tumblr, and I have Instagram. That’s what I use. It’s the only app along with YouTube that I use daily to keep up with the rest of the world. Especially the American part of the world. I’m Italian, but I speak American English well, and I apologize in advance if my lazy ass hasn’t noticed possible grammatical errors. I saw that a lot of you are into this stuff, so I thought I’d add it just because. I’m a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon, and Virgo rising.

I’m gonna turn 29 on December 22, and this is a BIG fuck off to all the people who have attacked you lately for your age. This is personal information that I give freely to make ignorant and small-minded people understand that, in this context especially, age is irrelevant. As you, little fucker who hides behind a computer to attack people just to feel stronger, have a life, we have it too. Like you, we have a life, a job, friends, etc. We also have passions. Passions that yes, my dear haters, also include shipping people. I don’t know why in your stupid brain we’re too old to ship people we love and to give opinions about it. I didn’t know it was something reserved only for those who still smell like mommy’s milk. But anyway…

I became aware of 5H existence just before summer 2015 thanks to ‘Worth It’. Being Italian, however, I had no idea who they were, and to be honest, I didn’t go searching for them. Randomly one day then, I ran into Camren on YouTube. I can’t remember which video I was watching, but I know for sure it was about ‘Heya/Brittana’ (Heather Morris and Naya Rivera/Brittany and Santana, my very first hard LGBT ship). And among the suggested videos, there they are. As ridiculous as it sounds, and although I liked them as soon as I saw them, I didn’t go searching for them. I did it when ‘Work from Home’ came out though. From there, I connected that they were the same ‘Worth It’ group and the same two girls I liked from those YouTube videos. I had officially become a fan. I was screwed. Screwed because, I’d officially entered one of the most messed up and yet most beautiful fandoms ever.

As I initially said, this is the very first time I’ve ever done anything like this. But after the recent events, seeing how many people gave up, it made me a little angry and gave me the strength to speak for the first time. I thought the first time would’ve been through the fanfiction I’ve been working on for over two years, but no. Lauren and her beautiful mouth had to terrorize, disappoint, panic, and make angry 80% of CS, thus fueling the hatred of all the other fandom towards us. So I decided to speak now. Maybe, just maybe, this very long ass post of mine is gonna help struggling CS. Maybe, just maybe, it’s gonna make them reason and bring them to their senses.

So. This, as I think you’ve understood, is about Lauren and what she said in the podcast. This is a reminder of the Laucy situation. These are things we already know and that I want to remind you of because apparently, my lovely fellows CS, either you have a short-term memory, or Lauren has the power to create amnesia in people’s minds and I knew nothing about it. Surely this power of hers didn’t work on me and a few others.

Oh and, before starting: 1) You may disagree with me. It’s normal to have different opinions. 2) You can search for information such as dates, easily on the internet. 3) I’m gonna use nicknames on PRs for fun. That doesn’t mean I hate them. I have my reasons for dislike each one of them as people, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with the fact that they were or are the Camren beards. An example to make you understand what I mean is Ty. I’m a huge Ari fan and I’ve been listening to ‘safety net’ non-stop for two days straight. I really dislike Ty as a person, but I separate the art from the artist.

Okay, that said, I can start.

Lauren said: “I knew I was queer because I fell in love with my best friend when I was like 15.” – “Her and I started to have a physical connection when I was 15.”

Lauren and Lucid Vivisectionist met when L moved to Carrollton in 7th grade. Lucille moved back to Puerto Rico in February 2012, returning to visit Miami occasionally (this explains the fetus pictures with Lucy and Camren at L’s house). In February 2012, Lauren was 15, Camila 14, and Lucy 16. And who did Lauren meet when she was 15? Oh yeah, Camila. C and L did the first phase of the audition, the ‘cattle call’, on May 1, 2012 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Audition where Camila took courage to speak at the (“Oh my God that girl is) literally so beautiful” girl from which she felt intimidated by starting that adorable brief conversation “Hi, I like your shirt”, “Thanks. I like your jacket” just before it was her turn to get in for her audition. In May 2012, Lauren and Camila were both 15 years old. Lauren and Camila saw each other again for the first time on July 25th, two months later, in Miami on the first day of boot camp, and it was Lauren herself who went to Camila: “You’re the Cuban girl!”. In July 2012, Lauren was 16 and Camila was 15.

Lauren said: “She came back into my life when I was 18. I was on tour and I was in my room in a hotel somewhere, and she called me.” Let me explain to you why I think this is true.

Lauren and Luxy reconnected with each other after Lucy’s car accident that took place on May 15, 2015. Lauren was really 18 in May 2015, and we can rule out The Reflection Tour dates because it started on February 27, 2015, and ended April 6, 2015. We can also rule out these other show dates that 5H did: April 11 in Jackson Township, New Jersey - April 13 at Live! with Kelly and Michael in New York - April 19 Lauren was at Coachella with Keana, Britt, and other friends - April 22 at the Worldwide Radio Summit in Hollywood - April 25 at Radio Disney Music Awards 2015 in Los Angeles - May 8 at Channel 93.3 Summer Kickoff 2015 in Chula Vista, San Diego - May 9 at Wango Tango 2015 in Carson, Los Angeles (May 9, rumors about Camila and Louis Tomlinson just because paparazzi believed they were together when Louis was actually together with Liam outside the Project Club L.A., and C who was at the club next door) - May 15 at KDWB Radio Show in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The rest of their program and possible date: May 16 at Kiss Concert 2015 in Mansfield, Massachusetts - May 19 at Dancing with the Stars in Los Angeles - May 30 at G-A-Y in London (rumors about Lauren and Louis Tomlinson this time, born because 5H went to Libertine nightclub with Louis and Niall) - May 31 at Britain’s Got More Talent in London - June 2 at Capital FM in Birmingham, England - June 5 at Good Morning Britain in London - June 6 at Capital FM Summertime Ball 2015 in London - June 12 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii - June 14 at LA Pride 2015 - June 18 at Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles - June 20 at B96 Pepsi Summer Bash 2015 in Bridgeview, Illinois - June 23 at San Diego County Fair 2015 - 28 June at Show Of The Summer 2015 in Hershey, Pennsylvania - July 10 at Rockefeller Plaza in New York. July 15, 2015, beginning of Reflection: The Summer Tour.

June 27, 2015 Lauren turned 19, and do you guys remember the events of those days? Because I do.

On June 24, 2015, Lauren celebrated her birthday in advance at the famous sushi restaurant ‘Katsuya’. Among the guests were the girls, her mom Clara, some friends, including Jill (the same Jill/Jillian Gutowitz who worked with Zack Sang and who 5H met on April 22, 2015, at the Worldwide Radio Summit, which lasted for three days but they were present for two: 22 and 23. The same Jill who wrote the article for AfterEllen on January 25, 2016, about her experiences with women who denied their sexuality. Remember the story of Lauren Jordan, right?), and Noah Benardout (may he rest in peace). Still no Lucia, not even on the days when Lauren returned to Miami to celebrate with her family before resuming the program from the 28. As I already said, The Reflection Summer Tour began on July 15, 2015, and Lucy’s first public reappearance took place on one of the tour dates, that is, July 27 at Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

From that moment on, we saw Lucille appear on multiple occasions in hops through time. After the July 27th date, we saw her during the trip to Hawaii with Lauren and Keana in September, followed by the concert that the girls had on October 10 in the Bahamas, where they stayed with their families and friends for a few days. After the Bahamas, the mess happened between 5H because they found out about Camila’s departure from the group which initially should’ve been immediate, but for which they fought and gained another year. That, was also the time when Laucy signed their PR contract. As we know from Lauren herself, that was the worst and darkest time for her. That was the beginning of her numbness.

On October 23, they were on their way to Italy and Lauren wrote on her dark diary, the one shown to us in Episode 8 of her Attunements. On October 24, they arrived in Milan for the MTV Europe Music Awards 2015 occurred on October 25, and on October 28, in Madrid instead, there was the interview with Alyson Eckmann, the journalist Camila flirted with while Lauren was sitting right next to her.

Going forward, in November we have:

- Rumors about Lauren and Julius Dein (his friend who is a YouTube magician).

-The release of IKWYDLS including the rumors about Camila and Shawn and Michael Clifford (who was already in the picture) who were ‘vying for her’.

- Beginning of Lauren’s coming out plan which included: 1) The release of The Vamps’ album on November 23rd, that is, a week after the release of IKWYDLS, and which included the track ‘I Found A Girl’. Joe O'Neill, the manager of The Vamps, liked that famous tweet. Despite the efforts to make us believe that Bleahren (sorry for the Italian pun I made here, but ‘bleah’ in Italian is equivalent to the ‘eww’ to indicate something gross, and therefore Bleah-Ren) Brauren was real and that the girl involved was Lucille and not Camila, they’ve miscalculated since Lauren and Brad ‘dated’ in 2014 when Lucy had not yet returned into Lauren’s life. But since the album and consequently the song came out on November 23, 2015, they tried to manipulate people’s minds as usual. 2) Jill’s article that served to connect and more or less ‘confirm’ the story between this Jordan and her childhood friend, Lauren-Lucy.

- December: completion of the 7/27 album + Dina LaPolt’s entry + renegotiation of the contracts (mostly DNA’s contracts) + FIFTH HARMONY MUSIC, INC. created by LAND on December 21 to prepare for the transfer of the 5H trademark, the FIFTH HARMONY PARTNERSHIP, of which they became owners from April 27, 2016 + change of management from Faculty Management: Jared Paul and Janelle Lopez, to Maverick Management: Larry Rudolph, Dan Dymtrow, and Tara Beikae. [All things that were possible ONLY THANKS to the exit of C from the group]

- January 2016, we have Lauren and Lucrezia who came back from Colombia to then taking a road trip for Lucy’s birthday week.

- Jill’s article came out and coincidentally, by pure chance, exactly two days later, on January 27, 2016, Camila and Dinah were hacked.

- On March 9, 2016, Lauren, Normani, Andrea, Dinah, and Keana went to pierce their ears, or rather, Laurmainah pierced their ears, mama Dre and Keana just accompanied them. During her turn, Lauren asked Keana to take her phone to make a video. In the meantime, Mani was filming Lauren, and again by pure chance, Keana, who was in the heart of the frame, took Lauren’s phone as she’d asked, and both the lock screen and the home screen portrayed a picture of Lucania during a photoshoot. Same picture Lucy herself posted on Instagram on April 10th to leave no doubt.

- April 24, 2016, Coachella together.

- Luciana went with 5H in London, in May, during the promotion of the 7/27 album. (+ Camren video of May 28, 2016)

- She was present during the start of the tour in South America on June 26th (in the evening during the concert, L danced Big Bad Wolf for her, but that’s not the famous video, that was on September 5) and 27th to celebrate L’s birthday together (picture of the 27th of them in Buenos Aires).

- June 27, 2016, on L’s birthday, Jill posted a picture with L from the birthday dinner of the year before, further confirming the story of ‘Jordan’.

- August 1, the national girlfriend day, L posted a picture of her and Lucy.

- From August 12 to 21, Lucy was with them. The night after the concert on the 13th in Rochester Hills, Michigan, videos in which Lucilla appeared during Lauren Fuller’s birthday celebration at the hotel for dinner. On the 14th in Noblesville, Indiana, during Gonna Get Better and Big Bad Wolf Lauren smiled in Lucy’s direction who was in the audience. On the 18th in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a fan met Laucy in a movie theater restroom, taking a selfie with Lauren (C posted a picture of her in the dark with the words of Bad Things “don’t think that I can explain it” the same night).

- On September 4 and 5 Lucippe returned. On the 5th in Houston, Texas, the famous ‘super HD’ video took place in which Lauren danced Big Bad Wolf for Lucy, even pointing to her during her verse. [On September 6, Midland, Texas, during the Q&A, Lauren wore the same dress that Lucy was wearing to the concert the night before, and at the same time, she sat next to C and got jealous when C complimented a fan by sending her flying kisses. Ahh… The irony]

Now. Let’s move on to the part of the podcast where Lauren explains about the kiss with Lucza at her uncle and aunt’s wedding, how her aunt “super innocently” posted the pictures on Facebook that her “unreal invasive fans” found and posted, how Perez Hilton outed her to the world by posting an article with those pictures, how she did nothing for a week, and that after thinking “Ok, it happened. People know. What am I gonna do?”, she wrote that letter against Trump as her own way of coming out.

On November 4, 2016, Lauren and Lucynda did the ‘famous’ photoshoot in New Orleans called ‘Bare With Me’. Lauren flew to NOLA right after Halloween, got back to Miami to vote, then returned to New Orleans on the 10th along with her family for the wedding. Lucianna was also with her on the 10th for the rehearsal/bowling with all of Lauren’s relatives. Meanwhile Orange Trumpeter was elected on the 8th, and many celebrities were preparing to write a letter through Billboard against him and his supporters. Labels and management saw it as a perfect opportunity to get her to come out also considering how much Lauren has always been vocal on the subject, and THEY contacted Billboard to get her to participate in exchange of the exclusive of her coming out. All that was missing was the evidence to make sure that there had been no connection with Camila, and that was the reason for the kiss at the wedding on the 11th.

On November 13, the wedding photographer posted those pictures on his website, including the one of the kiss. And I’m sorry, Lolo, I love you but, really? Who are you kidding? The pictures didn’t start spreading because her ‘unreal invasive fans’ found them on her aunt’s Facebook page where she’d posted them ‘super innocently’. The pictures started spreading after the photographer posted them! And you know what’s even more funny? That to see those pictures on the website, you needed an access password. So what are you saying here, Lo? That your ‘unreal invasive fans’ were so good, to even have hacked their way into the website for pictures they didn’t even know existed? It wasn’t your team, was it? Oh, okay. My bad.

Sarcasm aside. The pictures started to spread, Perez tweeted about it on the 14th, and in the meantime Lauren had time to write the letter that was approved by the labels and sent to Billboard (on the 14th), who approved it a couple of days after it was sent (on the 16th), and which they then published it in the article two days later (on the 18th). In all of this, on November 15, 2016, the girls all went to Epic’s party. Since we know very well that most of the cases of coming out as bisexual in the industry made by a female celebrity occur in succession with the connection with a guy, that night there was the PR proposal between Typo Dolour Signal and Lauren that he obviously accepted, and in fact, he was there that night at that party too (Picture of C with a tear mark on her cheek).

Now, the icing on the cake of the Laucy’s PR: Nicole Cartolano. Nicole is a friend of Lecy’s with whom she had already worked together and who also posted pictures of Lauren on November 17 and 22, 2016, one on December 31, 2016, together with Marian Hill taken backstage after Lauren’s performance with them on the 30th, the night before, for the Snow Globe Festival in South Lake Tahoe, California, and the one of Laucy (with the piñata) on January 10, taken the same night to celebrate Lucilia’s birthday at midnight and that Lauren also used to post it for wish her a happy birthday. That was the last public interaction between the two. *Slow entry of Tympans Dollhouse Signalized in the picture from January 4, 2017, thanks to that tweet*.

On January 21, 2017, Lauren and Lucy were at the same Women’s March, but separately (single), and we haven’t seen them together anymore. LuBYE. On March 22, 2017, both ‘Bare With Me’ and the interview article Nicole did with MTV News (she confirmed that Laucy had been together by having an on-again, off-again for years and also said a lot of other bullshit like the fact that the girls were nervous because they didn’t know how their parents would’ve responded) came out. On August 13, 2018, Nicole officially apologized to Lucy for being angry with her for posting the pictures and therefore for having outed her and for having taken part in the MTV interview without their permission. There was also the screenplay made by Nicole’s mom to make everything even more true.

Bullshit on bullshit on bullshit. Number 1, Lauren herself confirmed in this podcast that her parents knew about her, and said how much she loved Lucre’s ‘I’m out and proud’ part.

Number 2, Nicole posted a preview of the pictures on March 18, 2017, so if she really wanted to stop her before the publication on the 22nd, she would’ve had time to do so.

Number 3, Lucita came out publicly on her own with that Spanish post on Instagram on November 20, 2016, saying in summary that she was anything but straight because she didn’t want to label herself (she did it years later by saying she was a lesbian).

Number 4, as Lusia also confirmed in that post where Nicole’s mom left that comment, Nicole signed a non-disclosure agreement form. If she had actually violated it without having had a release and written consent form, she would’ve been sued.

Number 5, if Luciferase really wanted to have that conversation in private with Nicole’s mom, she might very well have done so. She could’ve contacted her and answered her IN PRIVATE for real, and not via IG where EVERYONE saw and took the side of poor, poor Luckless.

Number 6, the biggest proof that shows the hypocrisy of all this, Lucasta continued to work with Nicole. Their last work dates back to November 25, 2019.

Okaay, sure… sure, because it was normal for her to continue working with the person who outed her, wasn’t it? People’s lies never cease to amaze me. For that matter, Nicole also posted a picture of their ‘adventure’ as they made their way to the photoshoot location on November 1, 2017, and continued to wish them both a happy birthday with posts every year.

And lastly, on June 6, 2020, we have the Lucerne’s video leaked (+ old pictures and videos of 5H) where she burned pictures of Lauren and of the two of them together in 2017, accompanied by the tweets occurred two days later, in which she explained that she was hacked and that she burned the pictures for a closure. Then, exactly 20 days later, that is on June 26, 2020, the PAPER Magazine article of Lauren’s interview came out. What a coincidence! In that article, Lauren explained, along with other things, that she’d been in love with her best friend for 7 years.

Lauren, honey, the maths, the maths… If according to your words you fell in love with her at 15, got together with her at 18, and broken up at 20, how can these be 7 years? It’s 5 years… And as if it wasn’t enough, still according to your words, after 1 year and 8 months (from mid-May 2015 to mid-January 2017), 2 months of which public because of the wedding pictures, of the relationship you wanted at all costs, “all in” and “now we’re gonna be in this relationship”, you broke up with her because she was really toxic, and after less than a month, you started dating an even more toxic person without the proper time to heal?? How do you expect me to believe you? And I’m putting aside the fact that I know they’re both PR relationships. I’m speaking out of logic. How? How can I believe you? How does this make any sense?

Personally, yes, I believe Lauren and Lucy have a past. Lauren’s first kiss was when she was 13 (8th grade) with her boyfriend at the time, Dominic, but I think Lucy was her first kiss with a girl. And I think it happened when she was 15, but in 2011, so long before Lucy left. Lauren dated Paul Martinez from June 4, 2011, to the end of July (around 23/24). From after Paul, until her very first PR at X-Factor, Keaton Stromberg, she was single. I truly believe that before she met Camila, Lauren and Lucy did everything Lauren said. I really believe Lauren experimented with her in secret, but I don’t believe in anything else she said at all.

This is my opinion. And in my opinion, Lauren always knew she was queer, and Lucy was the first with whom she could experience the attraction and the feelings towards girls she had always felt and concealed deep inside herself. But they were friends. Just friends. Friends who messed around and experimented together in secret given the environment that surrounded them. Lucy then returned to live in Puerto Rico and they simply drifted apart because of the distance and Lauren’s busy schedule with 5H. When she came back into Lauren’s life, they rekindled their friendship. Just that. Also because, Camila, hello? Camila entered Lauren’s heart the same year Lucy left and never get out of it. Not to mention that Lucy had a girlfriend, Sarah Scott Narcise, before getting together with Nicole Marie Rendón in March 2017. I honestly think that Lucy was also giving advice to Lauren about her relationship with Camila, and I also think that now they really aren’t friends anymore for something we don’t know about, even though I have my theories… But anyway. Lauren needed a beard to be able to come out, Lucy needed visibility for her modeling career and, at the time, also for her music which, however, never saw the light of day. The labels approved because they would’ve done anything to keep their chosen one out of the gay light. Camila also approved. Boom, PR.

I don’t believe all the other bullshit she said during the podcast. Because if they’d been true, they would’ve made logical sense. A sense they’ve been trying, and failing, to give for years. If Lauren really didn’t want to come out, she wouldn’t have done a photoshoot with Lucy a week before the wedding with the intention of using that same photoshoot to come out. She would not have kissed Lucy in a public place during the wedding pictures in front of a professional photographer hired for the event, knowing full well that those pictures would eventually have been published by the bride and groom, her aunt and uncle, and the photographer himself. If she wanted so badly a picture of her kissing her girlfriend, drunk or not, she would’ve taken her fucking phone and take selfies. It wasn’t the fans’ or Perez’s fault. It was the management that was following the plan.

And I’m supposed to, what exactly? Forget all these things, things that have been proofed multiple times in the past, because Lauren, or Camila, or management, or labels, or their contracts, must continue with their stupid narrative? Because Camila must continue to look straight and continue to look in love with Shalt Menstruated because the señorito is about to release his documentary and his album? Because Camila’s movie is about to come out? Because Lauren’s own album is about to be released and because the subject matter of her female-pronounced songs must only and exclusively be related to Lucy? (Although I think her album will be out next year. I think a song with female pronunciation is coming out soon. And no, I’m sorry, I don’t think it’s Burning)

Guys, come on…

Think about it. She used Lucy as a shield to tell part of her story with Camila that happened in 2014. It all fits. Even the story told through songs from Camila’s cocky POV, including ‘Like Friends Do’, ‘Eyes on You’, ‘Cleopatra’, ‘Leave for Good’, and a couple from her last album like ‘Should’ve Said It’ and ‘Feel It Twice’.

I understand why many of you have been hurt by this podcast and by Lauren herself. I understand why a lot of you are angry about the things she said. I see you, I understand, I really do. And everyone is free to feel whatever they want, I’m not saying otherwise. But I really don’t understand why you’re hiding or why you’re abandoning the ship. Authors who don’t wanna write anymore. Accounts closed. Names changed. Hope lost. This, all this, makes me angry and hurt. Because you fell for it. And you know why you fell for it? Because Lauren changed her approach. Leaving aside the part just before when she said: “Even when I talk about it, and I don’t talk about it because I’ve learned to just ignore it because-” and there, I swear I had to pause because I burst out laughing, and I was like: “Bitch, you’re the one who pulled this out of your ass out of nowhere right this second, what are you saying?”. She went on by saying, and she knows us so well because of this: “I just chose to ignore it at a certain point because getting angry to them would it mean that it was real and validate it more for them”.

And it’s true. This non-angry approach of hers, worked like a charm. Lauren’s older, she’s more mature than before. Although she was very nervous, she managed to explain everything calmly. The fact that she was emotional and almost cried in many parts, it really gave an extra boost to what she tried to sell. And I’m not saying she faked almost crying. Hell, no. That was super true and hard for her. I’m saying though, that it’s really easy to manipulate people’s minds, and Lauren used her real pain, the real suffering she has gone through over the years to tell this charade. That’s why it seemed so real. And I’m supposed to fall for that shit just because that’s what they’ve wanted for years, right? Convenient much?

Guys, please. You’re smarter than that, use those beautiful brains. For example, the fact that Lauren said: “I was queer, but she was not”, wrong as you want it to be, and “Camila and I were just really good friends at that time”, yeah, sure, Jan. Doesn’t the very fact that she used the past tense make you realize that it was done to completely detach herself from her IN THE PRESENT? Everything she said was for something. Everything had a purpose. And the goal is always the same. Make us stop shipping ‘em. Putting a label on C only served the Shoestoremila purpose, nothing else. And those were words that came out of the mouth of the one who says she doesn’t like labeling people. The same one who was pissed that someone had outed her before she wanted to. Do you really think she’s that hypocritical?

The fact that she put all the CS in the same box, especially when she talked about the Daddy situation, WAS DONE ON PURPOSE. She couldn’t fail to generalize because their purpose is, and will be for a long time to come, to kill Camren. That means the whole fandom. Not just invasive elements. But really all the CS. The purpose was to make us feel guilty. The purpose is to make us accept that it was never real, and since we care about them, to make us continue to support them individually and not as a couple, even though she knows that the real CS do it regardless. This, is called manipulation, guys.

Think about everything else too. The inconsistency. The holes in her story. The lack of explanations. And the fact that during the story of how it all happened, she jumped from one theme to another and therefore managed to deflect and not completely finish one before moving on to the other, doesn’t it make you understand that she didn’t want to give too many details? And when does that usually happen? She knew we’d analyze her. She knew she couldn’t say too much. When she talked about Lucy, she knew that WE know she was talking about Camila, and with too many details, it would also have been obvious to the others because WE would’ve pointed it out to everyone. I mean, it’s obvious enough in itself, imagine if she’d fed us more information that we would’ve compared in the timeline.

Please, guys. I know that it feels like something’s changed, but it’s not. It’s really not. I’m appealing to all of you. Open your eyes. Reason. I know many of you still have conflicting emotions and feelings, and that’s okay. If you’re still upset, if you still wanna cry, then cry. Do whatever helps you feel better because, especially after the haters have come to bite your asses, you’re entitled to feel the way you do. But please, please, don’t give up. If you give up, you just play their game. You just do them a favor. You guys had invested so much of your time, so much of your passion, so much of yourselves to just, give up. Think of all we’ve been through, especially those who’ve been in the fandom for years. Think about how happy Camren makes you. They were there for you when you needed them. When you were going through hard times. I know they’ve helped a lotta people.

And think about this too. Lauren herself said at the beginning of the podcast: “The news and the media are constantly spinning narratives for your clicks so they can make money”. And what do you think this podcast was for? It’s always the same shit. Have you not noticed how the very same news and media have ALL talked about them? Didn’t you notice how My Oh My magically returned into the charts? How 50ft surpassed the 9 million streams on Spotify? And you still have doubts?

This is instead for the CS who get often angry about their actions. I personally think it’s pointless to blame Lauren and Camila for every single thing they do that has been PLANNED for them. Especially Camila as far as Shonas is concerned. There’s a pattern here too. Lauren had her light PR with Lucia. Lauren then had her heavy PR with Typic Dole Sight while Camila had a light one with Eatchu. And now Camila’s having a heavy one. C’s one is heavier simply because they’re much more famous than PRen (Tyren) were. So, guys, be patient. There’s really no point in getting angry and blaming them. It’s a waste of energy. It’s useless to blame them if they’re gonna continue to do so over the years to come. They’re just still trying to get past their original contracts and survive in the industry at the same time. Sooner or later, I HOPE, they will be free to tell the truth or the truth will come out on its own.

Well, I’m done. Jeez, that was long, wasn’t it? But I hope it was worth it. I hope I’ve cleared your heads a little bit and instilled some hope again. I also hope I made you smile with all those nicknames and my sarcasm. I especially hope that wherever you are, you’re having a good day, and if not, then I hope it has improved at least a little bit with this post. And thank you so much, Stuck. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use my voice for the first time publicly/virtually. You, above all, keep on being one of the lights and NEVER let them turn you off. I love you guys. Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay patient. With love, F.

I leave you with these two pearls:

Number 1. Lauren said something else too. She said: “Don’t trust me. Go research. Go look this shit up yourself”. I know she said it for a completely different context, but I found it really funny given the situation.

Number 2. This is a small scene that automatically created itself in my head as soon as I finished listening to Wonder. I titled it: The sad and short story of the making of ‘Wonder’.

Enjoy:

*on the phone*

Shawl Mendicant: “Hey, buddy. I know you were a huge Fifth Harmony fan and I know you love my fake girlfriend, so I was thinking… could you help me? You know, I need her to stay relevant, but to do that, I also need to release music and completely take all the credit from other people because, you know, the most I do is change a sentence or two in my style to make people think that I wrote all my songs.”

Sam Smith: “………okay?”

Shawnita Menorrhagia: “So, I was wondering, can I copy your homework? You can totally refuse if you want to, but I’m hoping to appeal to the love you have for 5H and Camila, and maybe help a friend out?”

Sam Smith: “Yeah, sure, you can copy my homework. Anything for my girls. Just, change it up a bit so it doesn’t sound too obvious you just copied it.”

Shonas Mended: “Don’t worry. I’ve got this. Thanks, man.” - *ends the call*

Sam Smith looking at the phone with an incredulous expression and one hand over his heart: “I came out as a non-binary, you insensitive asshole!”

Shoes Mentionable from the other room: “Cameeela! He said yes!” *reaching then Camila and Lauren in the living room where Lauren is lying with her head resting on Camila’s legs who’s running her fingers through her hair with one hand and holding the book that she’s reading with the other one* “You were right, all I had to do was mention you girls.”

Lauren chuckling and continuing to pet Cleo who’s lying at the foot of the couch with one hand: “Told you”, to then adding: “And please, I know you’re excited because of the news but keep your voice down”, continuing to caress Sofi’s head who’s sleeping on top of her with the other one.

Shapeless Mentality: “Oh, sorry.”

Camila without looking away from her book: “Sam’s really nice. I’m sure they would’ve said yes even without the need of mentioning us.”

Lauren: “Hmm, I’m not so sure about that, babe. Yes, they’re very nice, but we’re powerful in their minds, so it was an added incentive for them to say yes.”

Shaved Mentholated: “Who are they? Weren’t we talking about Sam?”

Camila who was giggling at her girlfriend’s words:

Lauren:

Sinu from the kitchen:

Cleo who was nibbling her toy:

Even Thunder, Leo, and Eugene from outside into the yard:

*the end*

Chon Mendable: ‘Wonder’ - Sam Smith: ‘One Last Song’

____

OMG I am speechless. I’m really still digesting this whole story because it’s amazing but I wanted to start by saying hello to you and telling you my name, my name is Marite. It is a pleasure to meet you dear friend. I don’t want to write too much because your words are much more important than mine but I wanted to thank you for trusting me and my blog to tell me your story. That side of the story that, being new and not having been a harmonizer from the beginning, I never learned. I intended to ask for more information about Laucy’s Timeline but what you have told is a gem. A gem that shows that the bastards of the industry cannot fool the fans because we pay attention to everything and it is not easy for us to fall for their shit. I think the power we fans have is so great that if we all came together, we could bring down this whole fucking fake empire that they have created. That said, Laucy’s story is surprising. As planned and how each person involved had to do their part on the chessboard. Incredible. Now that you tell me that story, I think it fits the one I wrote in my once upon a time post. Sure, yours is true and has everything that mine doesn’t. I have tried to keep this blog open for all who wish to come and air their ideas, their thoughts, their tea. And you dear friend, you have been one of the best so far. You’ve given us that support that the fandom so badly needed and I really appreciate it. I also appreciate your humor, the nicknames have been so hilarious and I’m still laughing. Thank you for daring to tell this part of the story and reopen the can of worms of a PR that right now resurfaces with that Lauren interview. With a purpose, it’s true. And something tells me that we will see much more very soon. Thank you for your support, my friend. And you know, you have my blog at your disposal for whatever you need. And if you need to talk or anything else. I greatly appreciate that we can continue to keep this ship afloat among ourselves. Among a group of intelligent people who have been hurt by someone we have always loved very much even though we know the reason for all that. We can’t give up now because if we do it like you say they will win and I personally don’t plan to indulge them in that. Thank you very much for all dear friend and I hope you have a nice day. I send you a hug and I hope you stay safe.

April Writing Prompt List 💧

So, Earth Day is this month so I thought it would be cute to recycle prompts I haven’t used yet from January, February, and March. I also just don’t really have any prompts saved up to use lol. Anyway, as per usual, I’ll be crossing prompts out after I do them.

Since, there’s so many prompts this month and I don’t think I’ll be writing them all for fillers, if so choose you can send in two prompts at a time for the same imagine request. Not only does that help use up some of the prompts but it’ll help me by giving me more to work with lol.

Without further ado, here’s this month’s prompt list:

1. “All that ‘You can’t love someone unless you love yourself first’ mess is bullshit. I have never loved myself. But you, oh god, I love you so much I forgot what hating myself felt like.”

2. “I don’t know how but I’m going to blame you for all my problems.”

3. “Bite me.” “Eat me.” “Kiss my ass.”

4. “You have to tell me why were committing a felony before we do it. Not that that’s going to stop us, but at least I’ll have all the facts.”

5. “Call me that one more time, see what happens.”

6. “It’s pitch black in here and I can see you’re blushing.”

7. “I always take life with a grain of salt, …plus a slice of lemon, …and a shot of tequila.”

8. “Sorry, I have a clingy and feverish assassin on my lap. I’ll call you back when I’ve convinced them that a cold doesn’t mean they’re dying.”

9. “I’ve had a rough day and honestly all I want right now is a drink and someone to cuddle with…”

10. “Did any of these assholes mess with you?” “No, you’ve marked your territory so hard they’re scared to even say ‘hello’”

11. Person A seeing that Person B’s shoelace is undone and instead of telling them, they just do it themselves.

12. Person A getting really annoyed with their tangled headphones and Person B just taking them off them and doing it for them.

13. “Do you need a hand?” “Does it look like I need your help?” “Do you really want me to answer that or would you like to maintain plausible deniability for later?”

14. “Don’t tell me you’re fine, I can see the blood!”

15. “We have a problem.” “Let me guess. You caused it?”

16. “We have a problem.” “No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps getting into one.”

17. “We have a problem.” “Gimme a sec, I’m not drunk enough to listen to this yet.”

18. “We have a problem.” “And it’s another Tuesday, what’s your point?”

19. “We have a problem.” “If you mean the flaming pillar, that’s our solution to the last week’s problem.”

20. “We have a problem.” “Would shooting you solve the problem? No? Then get out.”

21. “We have a problem.” “You call it a problem. I call it a solution.”

22. “How dare you demand more of me when you know, without question, that I would give you the very shirt off my back if you asked for it. My very skin and blood and bones to keep you happy.”

23. “Did you really not see it? Or were you too afriad to look?”

24. Person A and Person B are having to share an air matress for the night. Person A is already sound asleep and comfy in bed. Person B, very tired from the day, flops down on the other side, thus launching Person A into the air.

25. Person A gets lost in a crowd so Person B yells at the top of their lungs something that they know will piss Person A off.

26. “I’m personally offended that you didn’t get me to be your fake date.”

27. Person A hasn’t slept in days and keeps forgetting to eat because of a task or project they’ve been working on. Person B is worried about them and keeps lecturing them about it and finally manages to get Person A to take a break.

28. “If you do that again, I’ll throw you out that fucking window you- what are you doing?” “Checking how high the drop is, see if it’s worth it.”

29. Person A and Person B are walking down the sidewalk together. Person A trips and Person B catches them, ending up in a dramtic dip. Someone yells, “When’s the wedding?”

30. “How’s your day going?” “Well, no one died.” “Those are your standards?”

31. Person A, noticeably disheveled as they enter the room, “Sorry I’m late. I was doing stuff.” Person B looking equally disheveled but grinning smugly, “Hi, nice to meet you. I’m stuff.”

32. “I have a solution.” “Thank goodness.” “It involves fire.” “Absolutely not.”

33. Person having a cute nickname for Person B. Person C, a friend, clearly doesn’t know that Person B only allows Person A to call them that, and one day learns the dire consequences.

34. “Where you from?” “Here and there.” “What do you do?” “This and that.” “You ever-” “Now and then.” “Boy you’re just full of information.”

35. “Where’s your shoe?” “That giant mud puddle down the road demanded a sacrifice.”

Winnie Ruth Judd: The Trunk Murderess

March 11, 2021

This is one of my all time favourite true crime cases. I first heard about Winnie Ruth Judd, also known as “the Trunk Murderess” a few years ago when my grandmother let me borrow a book she had read about it. The book I read was written by Jana Bommersbach and was truly amazing, she did an incredible job telling the story and did not skip a detail. This is a long case and I will not be covering everything in this short post, however I encourage everyone to do their own research and read the book!

Winnie Ruth McKinnell, also known as Marian Lane later in life, was born on January 29, 1905 in Indiana to parents Rev. H. J. McKinnell who was a Methodist minister and his wife Carrie.

Winnie met and married Dr. William C. Judd in 1922 at the age of 17. Dr. Judd was 20 years older than Winnie and a World War I veteran and their marriage had various problems. Dr. Judd was a morphine addict who had a hard time keeping down a job thus making the couple move around a lot and face financial struggles. Winnie was unable to have children and this further strained the marriage.

In 1930 Winnie and her husband were living separately but still communicated quite frequently. Winnie moved to Phoenix Arizona and began working as a governess for a wealthy family.

It was in Phoenix where Winnie met John J. Halloran, also known as “Happy Jack” by the media. Happy Jack was a very well known businessman and extremely good looking and though he was married him and Winnie began an affair.

Winnie found a job working as a secretary at a medical clinic and this where she would meet her two best friends, Agnes Anne LeRoi and Hedvig “Sammy” Samuelson who were roommates having moved from Alaska to Phoenix due to Sammy contracting tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was extremely common back in the 1930′s and it was known that areas of warmer climates helped those with TB get better, so Phoenix being an extremely hot and sunny place was ideal.

Anne and Sammy also knew Happy Jack and it seems as though they were very flirty with him as well. Jack apparently was the ladies “meal ticket” they relied on him heavily financially and emotionally and he had made a connection with all of them.

The three women hit it off and soon became fast friends, with Winnie even moving in with Anne and Sammy for a brief period in 1931, though she soon moved out in her own apartment as there was some differences among them. I’m assuming these differences were very minor, they just seemed to have differences about running a household because the three remained besties even after Winnie moved out on her own.

On the night of October 16, 1931 an alleged fight broke out between the three women and Winnie Ruth Judd murdered Anne LeRoi and Sammy Samuelson. Winnie shot both women with a .25 caliber handgun in their bungalow and what she did with the bodies is extremely disturbing.

Two days later on October 18, 1931 Winnie boarded the train on her way to Los Angeles, California and had two trunks of luggage with her. However, one of the baggage handlers said the luggage smelled really bad as well as he could see some kind of “fluid” escaping from them. He notified the district baggage agent thinking that what was inside the trunks was just deer meat. How wrong he was.

The trunks were then tagged to be held for inspection and when asked for the key to open the trunks Winnie Ruth Judd claimed she did not have a key for them. The trunks were sent to the police station where the police finally opened them and what was found inside was extremely disturbing.

The dismembered body of Sammy Samuelson were found inside of the trunks, while Anne LeRoi’s body was found stuffed into a trunk but completely intact; she had not been dismembered. Winnie was not there when the police discovered the contents in the trunks, she had actually gotten her brother to pick her up and drop her off somewhere in L.A. When the contents of the trunks were discovered Winnie Ruth Judd had disappeared though she eventually turned herself in a few days later on October 23, 1931.

Of course Winnie became the prime suspect right away since she literally was attempting to travel with two trunks full of her best friends dismembered bodies. She was dubbed “The Trunk Murderess” “Tiger Woman” and “The Blonde Butcher” and the media had an absolute field day with it.

The main motive people suspected was obviously jealously. The prosecution believed that Winnie had murdered her friends because they also had feelings for Happy Jack and that the women were fighting over him when they were killed.

When police visited the bungalow where the murders took place on October 19, 1931 they made some shocking discoveries. According to police it did not appear as if the women were shot during an enraged fight at all, it appeared as though they were actually shot and killed in their sleep.

The strange part was that both of the women’s mattresses were not found in the house when police went. One mattress was found miles away in a vacant lot with no blood stains on it and one mattress was never found at all.

Winnie Ruth Judd’s trial began on January 19, 1932. She was only being tried for the murder of Anne though, not Sammy, therefore the dismemberment aspect was never brought up in court because Anne had not been dismembered.

They argued that the murders were premeditated and that Winnie had planned this due to the fact that the women’s friendship was deteriorating with jealously over Jack Halloran. Winnie herself had a gunshot wound on her left hand which they believed was self-inflicted; her attempt to take the blame off of herself.

Winnie Ruth Judd was charged with first-degree murder on February 8 and was sentenced to hang on February 17, 1933. They figured a death sentence would make Winnie confess who her accomplice was because a lot of people found it impossible that a small woman like Winnie Ruth Judd would have been able to kill, dismember, and get the bodies in the trunks all on her own.

However, Winnie’s death sentence was overturned after they found her mentally incompetent and she was sent to the Arizona State Asylum for the Insane on April 24, 1933.

Jack Halloran became under suspicious when it was found that he had been having an affair with Winnie. Lots of people believed that he was Winnie’s accomplice in the murders and had helped her dismember them. Winnie testified against Jack in mid January 1933.

Winnie claimed that on the night of the murders she had gone over to Anne and Sammy’s place to hangout and play bridge with them. At one point she said the three women began fighting because Winnie had told them that another woman Jack had been seen hanging with named Lucille Moore had syphilis and was being treated for it. Supposedly the women began telling Winnie that she needed to let Jack know about the syphilis but Winnie told the women she could not tell Jack about Lucille’s medical history because of her job and the risk of losing it plus according to her Jack and Lucille were just friends.

Anne and Sammy did not believe this and Anne threatened Winnie telling her she would tell Jack about Lucille’s syphilis. Winnie fighting back told Anne that if she told Jack, Winnie would go around and tell everyone that Anne and Sammy were lesbians which I think was a rumour going around considering the two women lived together and were unmarried at their age, and back in the 1930′s that was insane.

Winnie said the women started physically attacking her and she killed them in self defence. I just want to say the above information about syphilis and lesbianism is from one source I found and there is probably no way of knowing if this is exactly what started the fight between the three women.

Jack’s team argued that Winnie was crazy and that this was the story of a crazy person and Jack was freed from the case on January 25, 1933 though his reputation was still ruined and he eventually fell out of business and died in 1939.

Winnie escaped from the asylum a total of 6 times, with the longest time being from 1963 to 1969 when her identity was finally discovered in California and she was taken back to Arizona.

Winnie Ruth Judd was paroled on December 22, 1971 and in 1983 she was issued an absolute discharge meaning she was no longer considered a parolee. Winnie Ruth Judd died at the age of 93 on October 23, 1998 in Stockton California.

Winnie had written a confession in 1933 stating that she had planned to murder Anne due to her fighting for Jack’s affection with Winnie. Winnie claimed she had not intended to kill Sammy, but when Sammy walked in on Winnie and found Anne dead she began to fight with her. In this confession Winnie said that everything had been done by her alone, she had not had an accomplice, not even to help her transport the trunks.

Some people do not believe that this is a true confession, they think that Winnie just wrote this in an attempt to keep going with an insanity plea. So what do you guys think? Is Winnie guilty of murdering her friends in cold blood, did she really just mean to kill Anne or did she kill both women in self-defense? I’d love to hear what you guys think about this one!

I barley scratched the surface of all of the interesting information about this case, I 100% recommend you all look further into this one because it’s insanely interesting to me and there’s so much more to it.

I don’t think we will ever truly know what happened on the night of October 16, 1931, but after almost 90 years this case still haunts America.

white with a floral border

43. Describe your kitchen at the moment.

BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHTS TO ABU DHABI

It has never been such a feeling of accomplishment even for frequent flyers, who have been travelling internationally for work on Business Class Flights to Abu Dhabi. After the restrictions were lifted, the travel to UAE has become better amidst some precautionary measures by the UAE authorities, but they are in place to benefit everyone. The flights that operate from the USA to UAE, many catch them from New York to Abu Dhabi because it works well in the favour of the business class travellers from America.

Significantly, the business people who want to have a good time balancing work and pleasure in an American Metropolitan city that offers almost everything; New York is the place to start with. Furthermore, landing in Abu Dhabi is better than landing anywhere else in the UAE because of the cultural comfort and work convenience. Other than New York, there are other international airports in the USA, from where direct flights to Abu Dhabi flies.

Seattle:The major commercial airport serving the Seattle metropolitan area in the United States is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which is also known as Sea-Tac Airport or Sea-Tac. It is situated 14 miles south of Downtown Seattle and 18 miles north-northeast of downtown Tacoma in the city of SeaTac. Many direct flights and connecting flights fly from here to UAE and specifically to Abu Dhabi.

Chicago:O'Hare International Airport, which is also known as the O'Hare Airport, is located in Chicago, Illinois. O'Hare International Airport, or simply O'Hare, is a major international airport in Chicago, Illinois, located 14 miles (23 kilometres) northwest of the Loop business district. O'Hare International Airport, which is operated by the Chicago Department of Aviation and spans 7,627 acres (3,087 ha), offers nonstop flights to 228 destinations throughout North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. O'Hare started as an airfield serving a Douglas manufacturing plant for C-54 military transports during World War II, and was intended to be the successor to Chicago's Midway International Airport, dubbed the "busiest square mile in the world." E was the inspiration for the moniker. It was popularly named after Edward "Butch" O'Hare, the first Medal of Honor recipient for the United States Navy during the war. Out here, concourses, direct highway access to the terminal, jet bridges, and underground refuelling systems were all pioneered by O'Hare's innovative design as the first major airport scheduled after WWII.

San Francisco: San Francisco International Airport is a major international airport located 13 miles (21 kilometres) south of San Francisco, California. It serves destinations across North America and serves as a major gateway to Europe and Asia. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the largest airport in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second busiest in California after Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). If passenger traffic is accounted for, it was the seventh busiest United States airport and the 24th busiest in the world in 2017. It is United Airlines' fifth-largest hub, with operations in Terminal 3 and the International Terminal. United's main transpacific gateway is San Francisco International Airport.

Los Angeles: Los Angeles International Airport, abbreviated as LAX (pronounced with each letter separately), happens to be the primary international airport serving Los Angeles and the surrounding metropolitan area. LAX is in the Los Angeles suburb of Westchester, 18 miles (30 kilometres) southwest of Downtown Los Angeles, with Westchester's commercial and residential areas to the north, El Segundo's to the south, and Inglewood's to the east. Los Angeles International Airport is indeed the nearest airport to the Westside and the South Bay.

Why Business Class?

There are many categories a businessman may choose from when flying to a destination, such as the UAE. But preferring luxury is a good thing, primarily because of the distance that is covered in terms of time. The flight can take anywhere from 17 hours to 25 hours, with one or two stops in the middle for refuelling, changing crew and mechanical checking.

Facilities:Usually, all the business class flights from New York to Abu Dhabi get some really nice benefits. Such as chauffer driven pick-up and drop by the airlines, to th3e airport. Access to the luxury airport lounge, quick check-in and check-out with the assistance of a team of an entourage, luxurious separate cabin area while travelling, inflight entertainment, exclusive beverages of choice from the in-flight menu and variety of cuisine. And above everything else, being connected to the business over the internet while flying across the continents.

Comfort: Indeed, with the above facilities, the comfort of travelling in Business Class Flights to Abu Dhabi is excellent as expected. Also, it gives the true value for the money, and that is unbeatable because not every airline give a complete package to its luxury travellers. Only a few airlines who have A380 or Boeing 777 planes in their hanger can deliver it all. Flying to the other side of the globe without losing sleep is one of the major concerns of many business class travellers. With such cabin space and a reclining chair that could quickly turn into a flat-bed, sleep is part of the comfort delivered to business class travellers.

Indeed, the cost of booking a business class for travelling a long distance is a matter of the expense. But the facilities and comfort that one receives from spending money is worth the free time one gets to do multiple things for compensating the expenditure on the business class travel.

My little planet, Galust Mkhitaryan

I created a "world list". Even many famous and good people did not get into this work, but they are much more on the list, I'll draw the next time. In the picture all the colors, all the styles in the painting. 252 people, 252 masterpieces, portraits. in this picture are depicted 252 influential people of our planet. People who created our world. The painting is a real museum exhibit, where he painted 252 masterpieces. The very first king from the Mesopotamia, known science Alilum a2 - Lu-Lim XXX BC famous Gilgamesh XXVII-XXVI and the first pharaoh of the first dynasty of Egypt Menes. in my list found the places Iisus Hristos, Muhammad, In the list I painted portraits of great scientists and artists. Great artists and athletes. My heroes, from all over the world and states. There are heroes from China, America, from Central America, from Europe, from Russia. from Armenia and from the East. Successful businessmen of all time, the famous Morgan, Rockefeller and today's Mark Zucemberg. In the picture I drew and negative people in the negative form is Hitler, this is Stalin is Lenin and others. Features of the picture. Thanks to my work, many ancient heroes found their faces. Based on ancient sketches, sculptures and bas-reliefs, I created their faces. Now, Kleopatra,. Tutankhamen, Gilgamesh, Hammurabi have their scientific faces. I was inspired to this work by a portrait of SirWinston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin. After I thought of drawing all the influential people. In the picture, I decided to use different styles, and genres for a change. I also want to show the world to the whole world that the 1915 scum of the Turks cut out such a talented people as the Armenians, and I drew representatives of the Armenian people such as Aram Khacaturyan Charles Aznavour Michel Legrand and many Armenian origins. This is my list of the World, I believe that it is necessary to create such a picture list and make people happy, so that everyone can see on one canvas at once. In the future I will draw even more people, many modern people who did not get into the picture let me be forgiven, because this was the first work. and was very difficult. I think that the picture will be very interesting and attractive. People will walk with phones, turn on the Internet and look for those who are pictured in the picture. At the opening of the exhibition, there will be a queue for viewing portraits. This picture I spent 7 months enjoying the viewers, I dream that people learn from newspapers and from the Internet go and look at this work, in any city where I go to show, there will be numerous views. I specifically tried to draw different styles and techniques. I documented the video snapshots sent by representatives of Guinness World Records. I hope that a positive response will come and I will set a record., The real value of the picture is 1 million Euro. I in other sites exhibited a picture for a million dollars. In Saatchi there is a limit of 100 thousand dollars, so I put out 100 thousand. If in the Saatchi Site the first person who buys something I will sell for 100 thousand dollars. .List of people 1.Gautama Budda Born c. 563 BCE or c. 480 BCE Died c. 483 BCE or c. 400 BCE 2.Maria Mother of Jesus Third quarter of de icentury BC.
