In response to that slayin', hair flippin', finger snappin' answer you just published, would you be so kind as to list moments that reference how cruel Sansa is to Arya? (If you want!)
Thank you so much!!! When I say this ask made me scream with delight!!! I believe this is the answer you’re referring to (if not soz please tell me which it is) and I really had fun with it tbf 😂
I’m very happy to list some of these, because it is so often overlooked. In this instance, I will not be including moments that show how deeply it affects Arya, unless that is present in the same quote, because Arya’s self-esteem and mental health is affected by a number of things and people, and Sansa is only one of those things.
Without further ado, let’s get down to it:
She looked at Arya. “What did you think of Prince Joff, sister? He’s very gallant, don’t you think?” “Jon says he looks like a girl,” Arya said. Sansa sighed as she stitched. “Poor Jon,” she said. “He gets jealous because he’s a bastard.” “He’s our brother,” Arya said, much too loudly. - Arya I AGOT
This is more generic cruelty than specifically to Arya, but it does show how little she thinks of two of her siblings. Especially as she knows how close Jon and Arya are, and she chose to say it anyway, perhaps just to get a rise out of her (which is why I think Arya thought Sansa attracted Septa Mordane’s attention) or simply not caring about her feelings. Unclear, but we can see that Sansa calling Jon a bastard or half-brother (as she always does) is clearly hurtful to Arya who sees him as her brother, and both sisters acknowledge she is more like Jon than anyone else, so it’s hard not to see this affecting Arya negatively.
It wasn’t fair. Sansa had everything. Sansa was two years older; maybe by the time Arya had been born, there had been nothing left. Often it felt that way. Sansa could sew and dance and sing. She wrote poetry. She knew how to dress. She played the high harp and the bells. Worse, she was beautiful. Sansa had gotten their mother’s fine high cheekbones and the thick auburn hair of the Tullys. Arya took after their lord father. Her hair was a lusterless brown, and her face was long and solemn. Jeyne used to call her Arya Horseface, and neigh whenever she came near. It hurt that the one thing Arya could do better than her sister was ride a horse. Well, that and manage a household. Sansa had never had much of a head for figures. If she did marry Prince Joff, Arya hoped for his sake that he had a good steward.
Nymeria was waiting for her in the guardroom at the base of the stairs. She bounded to her feet as soon as she caught sight of Arya. Arya grinned. The wolf pup loved her, even if no one else did. - Arya I AGOT
I know I said I wouldn’t look at how it affects Arya, but this quote in particular is specifically about Sansa. The misogyny of the society is inherent in this statement, as it’s what is making Arya feel inferior, but we know Sansa lords this over her in this quote. Arya even mentions things she is better at, and still thinks negatively because that is all she can do well.
The only thing that scared her about today was Arya. Arya had a way of ruining everything. You never knew what she would do. - Sansa I AGOT
Sansa regarded her scrawny little sister in disbelief. “You can’t look for rubies, the princess is expecting us. The queen invited us both.” “I don’t care,” Arya said. “The wheelhouse doesn’t even have windows, you can’t see a thing.” “What could you want to see?” Sansa said, annoyed. She had been thrilled by the invitation, and her stupid sister was going to ruin everything, just as she’d feared. “It’s all just fields and farms and holdfasts.” “It is not,” Arya said stubbornly. “If you came with us sometimes, you’d see.” “I hate riding,” Sansa said fervently. “All it does is get you soiled and dusty and sore.” - Sansa I AGOT
Here we see how poorly Sansa thinks of Arya, and this is her own POV so there’s nothing to say about bias either. She also disparages one of the few things Arya thinks she can do well, and thinks of Arya as stupid and “ruining everything” which is not kind, especially when Arya’s presence would not affect her time with the Queen. Also interesting that she says this later on:
Be with you, Sansa thought, but she said, “Whatever you’d like to do, my prince.” Joffrey reflected a moment. “We could go riding.” “Oh, I love riding,” Sansa said. - Sansa I AGOT
Riding isn’t so bad as soon as anyone else wants to do it, huh?
One day she came back grinning her horsey grin, her hair all tangled and her clothes covered in mud, clutching a raggedy bunch of purple and green flowers for Father. Sansa kept hoping he would tell Arya to behave herself and act like the highborn lady she was supposed to be, but he never did, he only hugged her and thanked her for the flowers. That just made her worse.
Then it turned out the purple flowers were called poison kisses, and Arya got a rash on her arms. Sansa would have thought that might have taught her a lesson, but Arya laughed about it, and the next day she rubbed mud all over her arms like some ignorant bog woman just because her friend Mycah told her it would stop the itching. She had bruises on her arms and shoulders too, dark purple welts and faded green-and-yellow splotches; Sansa had seen them when her sister undressed for sleep. How she had gotten those only the seven gods knew. - Sansa I AGOT
Sansa knew all about the sorts of people Arya liked to talk to: squires and grooms and serving girls, old men and naked children, rough-spoken freeriders of uncertain birth. Arya would make friends with anybody. This Mycah was the worst; a butcher’s boy, thirteen and wild, he slept in the meat wagon and smelled of the slaughtering block. Just the sight of him was enough to make Sansa feel sick, but Arya seemed to prefer his company to hers. - Sansa I AGOT
Here we have an instance of Sansa thinking of Arya as “horsey”, so why are we trying to deny she called her that? She also looks down on all the people Arya makes friends with, which shows her classism and how low her opinion is of her sister and her sister’s friends.
Sansa couldn’t help but smile a little. The kennelmaster once told her that an animal takes after its master. She gave Lady a quick little hug. Lady licked her cheek. Sansa giggled. Arya heard and whirled around, glaring. “I don’t care what you say, I’m going out riding.” Her long horsey face got the stubborn look that meant she was going to do something willful. “Gods be true, Arya, sometimes you act like such a child,” Sansa said. “I’ll go by myself then. It will be ever so much nicer that way. Lady and I will eat all the lemon cakes and just have the best time without you.” - Sansa I AGOT
More of Sansa delighting in her sister’s misery. More of the “horsey” face. More Sansa telling her sister she isn’t wanted, which is something Arya is already deeply afraid of.
She was almost in tears. All she wanted was for things to be nice and pretty, the way they were in the songs. Why couldn’t Arya be sweet and delicate and kind, like Princess Myrcella? She would have liked a sister like that.
Sansa could never understand how two sisters, born only two years apart, could be so different. It would have been easier if Arya had been a bastard, like their half brother Jon. She even looked like Jon, with the long face and brown hair of the Starks, and nothing of their lady mother in her face or her coloring. And Jon’s mother had been common, or so people whispered. Once, when she was littler, Sansa had even asked Mother if perhaps there hadn’t been some mistake. Perhaps the grumkins had stolen her real sister. But Mother had only laughed and said no, Arya was her daughter and Sansa’s trueborn sister, blood of their blood. Sansa could not think why Mother would want to lie about it, so she supposed it had to be true. - Sansa I AGOT
Now, I’ve joked with my siblings about one or more of us being adopted, but I’ve never genuinely believed it, going so far as to ask my mum if it was true. This is worse, though. Sansa knows the kind of social ostracism and classism bastards are subjected to, and she genuinely wants that for her sister just to make life easier for her.
A bright bud of blood blossomed where his sword pressed into Mycah’s flesh, and a slow red line trickled down the boy’s cheek. “Stop it!” Arya screamed. She grabbed up her fallen stick. Sansa was afraid. “Arya, you stay out of this.” “I won’t hurt him … much,” Prince Joffrey told Arya, never taking his eyes off the butcher’s boy. Arya went for him. - Sansa I AGOT
Arya swung at the prince again, but this time Joffrey caught the blow on Lion’s Tooth and sent her broken stick flying from her hands. The back of his head was all bloody and his eyes were on fire. Sansa was shrieking, “No, no, stop it, stop it, both of you, you’re spoiling it,” but no one was listening. Arya scooped up a rock and hurled it at Joffrey’s head. She hit his horse instead, and the blood bay reared and went galloping off after Mycah. “Stop it, don’t, stop it!” Sansa screamed. Joffrey slashed at Arya with his sword, screaming obscenities, terrible words, filthy words. Arya darted back, frightened now, but Joffrey followed, hounding her toward the woods, backing her up against a tree. Sansa didn’t know what to do. She watched helplessly, almost blind from her tears. - Sansa I AGOT
Joffrey made a scared whimpery sound as he looked up at her. “No,” he said, “don’t hurt me. I’ll tell my mother.” “You leave him alone!” Sansa screamed at her sister. Arya whirled and heaved the sword into the air, putting her whole body into the throw. The blue steel flashed in the sun as the sword spun out over the river. It hit the water and vanished with a splash. Joffrey moaned. Arya ran off to her horse, Nymeria loping at her heels. After they had gone, Sansa went to Prince Joffrey. His eyes were closed in pain, his breath ragged. Sansa knelt beside him. “Joffrey,” she sobbed. “Oh, look what they did, look what they did. My poor prince. Don’t be afraid. I’ll ride to the holdfast and bring help for you.” - Sansa I AGOT
Now, I do not want to get into more crap about the Trident incident, but all of this is very telling, especially as it comes from Sansa’s POV so there is no bias. After watching Joffrey hurt an innocent boy, Sansa not only tells Arya to stay out of it and let the boy be mutilated, when Joffrey starts threatening her sister with a sword (remember, Arya only has a stick at best) she thinks that they are both ruining things. In this very dangerous and volatile situation where she should be defending her defenceless little sister, she not only blames them both, but is only annoyed because they are ruining her date. And then, she tells Arya to leave Joffrey alone. It’s pretty whack and I’d feel resentment too if I was Arya. And then, she abandons Arya and seemingly doesn’t care because she wants to be with Joffrey (remember that Arya goes missing for four fucking days) and opines about what they did to him, as Joffrey wasn’t the aggressor.
“They were not the only ones present,” Ned said. “Sansa, come here.” Ned had heard her version of the story the night Arya had vanished. He knew the truth. “Tell us what happened.” His eldest daughter stepped forward hesitantly. She was dressed in blue velvets trimmed with white, a silver chain around her neck. Her thick auburn hair had been brushed until it shone. She blinked at her sister, then at the young prince. “I don’t know,” she said tearfully, looking as though she wanted to bolt. “I don’t remember. Everything happened so fast, I didn’t see …” - Eddard III AGOT
We know she knows exactly what happened. This is a lie. Plain and simple. I don’t blame Sansa for this - we would probably all be her confronted with this intimidating situation - but that doesn’t make it any better for her sister.
That was when Sansa finally seemed to comprehend. Her eyes were frightened as they went to her father. “He doesn’t mean Lady, does he?” She saw the truth on his face. “No,” she said. “No, not Lady, Lady didn’t bite anybody, she’s good …” “Lady wasn’t there,” Arya shouted angrily. “You leave her alone!” “Stop them,” Sansa pleaded, “don’t let them do it, please, please, it wasn’t Lady, it was Nymeria, Arya did it, you can’t, it wasn’t Lady, don’t let them hurt Lady, I’ll make her be good, I promise, I promise …” She started to cry. - Eddard III AGOT
I feel for Sansa here, but she didn’t need to throw her sister under the bus, again.
The last fortnight of their journey had been a misery. Sansa blamed Arya and told her that it should have been Nymeria who died. And Arya was lost after she heard what had happened to her butcher’s boy. Sansa cried herself to sleep, Arya brooded silently all day long, and Eddard Stark dreamed of a frozen hell reserved for the Starks of Winterfell. - Eddard IV AGOT
Sansa’s eyes had grown wide as the plates. “A tourney,” she breathed. She was seated between Septa Mordane and Jeyne Poole, as far from Arya as she could get without drawing a reproach from Father. “Will we be permitted to go, Father?” - Arya II AGOT
“I don’t care about their stupid tourney,” Arya said. She knew Prince Joffrey would be there, and she hated Prince Joffrey. Sansa lifted her head. “It will be a splendid event. You shan’t be wanted.” Anger flashed across Father’s face. “Enough, Sansa. More of that and you will change my mind." - Arya II AGOT
So, she blames Arya for Lady when it wasn’t her fault (seemingly out loud to Arya’s face seeing as this is coming from Ned), distances herself from Arya and then insults her at breakfast. Me and my sister fight, but not like this.
That was when Arya missed her brothers most. She wanted to tease Bran and play with baby Rickon and have Robb smile at her. She wanted Jon to muss up her hair and call her “little sister” and finish her sentences with her. But all of them were gone. She had no one left but Sansa, and Sansa wouldn’t even talk to her unless Father made her. - Arya II AGOT
When Prince Joffrey seated himself to her right, she felt her throat tighten. He had not spoken a word to her since the awful thing had happened, and she had not dared to speak to him. At first she thought she hated him for what they’d done to Lady, but after Sansa had wept her eyes dry, she told herself that it had not been Joffrey’s doing, not truly. The queen had done it; she was the one to hate, her and Arya. Nothing bad would have happened except for Arya. - Sansa II AGOT
Again with the blaming when she is fully aware it was not her fault. I admire Sansa’s growth through the series. I enjoy reading her AFFC and TWOW chapters. But boy, did we truly start at the bottom.
She knew her father was still angry about that, but it wasn’t fair to blame Joff. That would be like blaming her for something that Arya had done. - Sansa III AGOT
Ironic, isn’t it?
“What did Gregor do?” Arya asked. “He burned down a holdfast and murdered a lot of people, women and children too.” Arya screwed up her face in a scowl. “Jaime Lannister murdered Jory and Heward and Wyl, and the Hound murdered Mycah. Somebody should have beheaded them.” “It’s not the same,” Sansa said. “The Hound is Joffrey’s sworn shield. Your butcher’s boy attacked the prince.” “Liar,” Arya said. Her hand clenched the blood orange so hard that red juice oozed between her fingers. “Go ahead, call me all the names you want,” Sansa said airily. “You won’t dare when I’m married to Joffrey. You’ll have to bow to me and call me Your Grace.” She shrieked as Arya flung the orange across the table. It caught her in the middle of the forehead with a wet squish and plopped down into her lap. “You have juice on your face, Your Grace,” Arya said. It was running down her nose and stinging her eyes. Sansa wiped it away with a napkin. When she saw what the fruit in her lap had done to her beautiful ivory silk dress, she shrieked again. “You’re horrible,” she screamed at her sister. “They should have killed you instead of Lady!” - Sansa III AGOT
Sansa is the aggressor here, telling blatant lies, and it’s a bit of an overreaction to a stain on a dress.
“Arya started it,” Sansa said quickly, anxious to have the first word. “She called me a liar and threw an orange at me and spoiled my dress, the ivory silk, the one Queen Cersei gave me when I was betrothed to Prince Joffrey. She hates that I’m going to marry the prince. She tries to spoil everything, Father, she can’t stand for anything to be beautiful or nice or splendid.” “Enough, Sansa.” Lord Eddard’s voice was sharp with impatience. Arya raised her eyes. “I’m sorry, Father. I was wrong and I beg my sweet sister’s forgiveness.” Sansa was so startled that for a moment she was speechless. Finally she found her voice. “What about my dress?” “Maybe … I could wash it,” Arya said doubtfully. “Washing won’t do any good,” Sansa said. “Not if you scrubbed all day and all night. The silk is ruined.” “Then I’ll … make you a new one,” Arya said. Sansa threw back her head in disdain. “You? You couldn’t sew a dress fit to clean the pigsties.” - Sansa III AGOT
The one time Arya tries to apologise and make amends, particularly by putting herself out there and offering to do something she hates to fix it, and Sansa says that.
“I didn’t do anything wrong,” Sansa pleaded with him. “I don’t want to go back.” She loved King’s Landing; the pageantry of the court, the high lords and ladies in their velvets and silks and gemstones, the great city with all its people. The tournament had been the most magical time of her whole life, and there was so much she had not seen yet, harvest feasts and masked balls and mummer shows. She could not bear the thought of losing it all. “Send Arya away, she started it, Father, I swear it. I’ll be good, you’ll see, just let me stay and I promise to be as fine and noble and courteous as the queen.” - Sansa III AGOT
“It won’t be so bad, Sansa,” Arya said. “We’re going to sail on a galley. It will be an adventure, and then we’ll be with Bran and Robb again, and Old Nan and Hodor and the rest.” She touched her on the arm. “Hodor!” Sansa yelled. “You ought to marry Hodor, you’re just like him, stupid and hairy and ugly!” She wrenched away from her sister’s hand, stormed into her bedchamber, and barred the door behind her. - Sansa III AGOT
Again with the unnecessary insults that prey on insecurities Arya already has. Especially seeing as Arya is trying to cheer her up.
“I’m not like Arya,” Sansa blurted. “She has the traitor’s blood, not me. I’m good, ask Septa Mordane, she’ll tell you, I only want to be Joffrey’s loyal and loving wife.” - Sansa IV AGOT
Sansa found herself thinking of Lady again. She could smell out falsehood, she could, but she was dead, father had killed her, on account of Arya. She drew the knife and held it before her with both hands. - Sansa II ACOK
There are about 3 Arya mentions in Sansa’s ACOK chapters, and one was negative. And this is all while she thinks Arya is dead.
Lommy had called her Lumpyhead, Sansa used horseface, and her father’s men once dubbed her Arya Underfoot, but she did not think any of those were the sort of name he wanted. - Arya IX ACOK
Sister. Sansa had once dreamt of having a sister like Margaery; beautiful and gentle, with all the world’s graces at her command. Arya had been entirely unsatisfactory as sisters went. - Sansa II ASOS
Again, she thinks Arya is dead, and this is still how she sees her.
Her name, she had to know her name. “Arya Underfoot. Your sister used to call you Arya Horseface.” “It was me made up that name. Her face was long and horsey. Mine isn’t. I was pretty.” - The Prince of Winterfell ADWD
I know Jeyne said she made up the name, and I know you’re all gonna say that means Sansa didn’t use it. But it doesn’t matter that she made it up, because that doesn’t mean Sansa never said it. Arya and Theon, who has no bias or reason to lie, admit that. It seems pretty clear to me.
There are one or two positive mentions of Arya in Sansa’s thoughts, but that’s not what this ask was about. I hope I answered you nonny and thank you for the kind words!!
EDIT: forgot to add the link at the start. fixed now!
#asoiaf#neve has mail#arya stark#the night wolf#again i've got people complaining i use the sansa tag even though my last answer was not negative at all#so i will not be tagging her here#i will on the next one though so bite me

Nano follow up (2)
Notes: The last chapter of part 1. I’m not going to write part 2 (post the SnB time skip) right now, so I tried to make the ending feel passably standalone. Thanks to anyone who managed to read all the way through lol, and I’ll put this up on AO3 after fixing a few foreshadowing parts early on.
~.~
Chapter 11: A new world
With Rashid’s support, Sinbad had been able to complete the application process to the trade union and the misculae of opening Sindria Trading Company’s first store in record time, and the shelves had already been emptied by enthusiastic customers by the time the others returned from Imuchakk. Even with their help, the days were hectic -- running the store, keeping track of their stock, and of course sailing straight back to Imuchakk for more.
It was months before Sinbad finally had time to relax and think again about his future plans. It wasn’t to say that anything had changed about his goals or his vision, but it had begun to take shape in a way he hadn’t been able to imagine before.
He would change the world. He would create a country. But because one country, even as powerful as Reim, couldn’t make the world to its liking, he would create a federation of many nations, leading them to create a better, happier world -- without war, without hunger, without the hopelessness of nowhere to turn.
And to do all that, he needed influence.
Power, money, fame, they were all tied together, and he needed all of them to create the necessary foundation.
Well, the first thing Sindria needed was simply more people. Sinbad and his closest comrades, no matter how capable, couldn’t do everything.
They needed to sell more, in more places, from more places. To find more nations to partner with, Sinbad would look far and wide. But for opening Sindria Company’s second office, there could only be one place. Leaving Rurumu in charge of the Napolia branch, he set sail.
The first thing Sinbad did when arriving in Balbadd was to go see his mother. He had never been separated from her for so long before, and even knowing that she was living comfortably and safely hadn’t quite eased his lingering worries. Esra laughed as he swept her up in a tight embrace, hugging back just as tightly.
“Oh, you’ve grown so much!” she said, stroking his hair. “Come, come, let me look at you. Mm, just like your father, so handsome. How many hearts have you charmed, hm? I bet you’ve been a real menace.”
“Heheh, I do look good, don’t I?” Sinbad bragged as he stepped back and preened.
She was right. He had grown enough to need new clothing -- again, even though he’d changed after arriving in Napolia from Imuchakk. He was already the same height has her and steadily edging upward. Beaming with overflowing excitement and affection, Sinbad couldn’t help hugging her again. Laughing, Esra let him do was he pleased.
Although she was doing better, less terribly thin and with a healthy color to her complexion, Sinbad soon urged her to a chair, before beginning to introduce his motley crew.
He left out the murder attempts and their exact history as assassins, but Vittel and Mahad still fidgetted guiltily as they bowed and greeted his mother. Ja’far was even worse, flushing a deep red and looking everywhere except Esra. Even Hinahoho was unusually clumsy and uncertain as he stooped closer to her level and ducked his head in greeting.
It all made Sinbad want to laugh even more. They’d shown less uncertainty facing down Valefor, but his mother with her gentle smile made them trip over themselves.
“Oh, and about Ali…” he started to say, remembering suddenly that he had left with one friend and returned with four different ones, which they hadn’t yet explained in detail.
“He came back a while ago,” Esra said unexpectedly. She paused, frowning a little and exchanging a look with Anise, who had been deferentially waiting nearby during their reunion. “Ah, actually… he’s been a little strange. Sin, you should talk to him.”
Strange?
That was enough to make Sinbad frown in turn, before he quickly smoothed out his expression.
“Of course,” he agreed easily.
Too easily, it turned out, because actually talking to Alibaba became much more difficult than he’d expected. The first few days, Sinbad was admittedly preoccupied with other matters -- visiting the royal palace to pay his respects to King Rashid, finding out the requirements for trading in Balbadd, setting his subordinates to locate a suitable building, and so on. The entire time, he didn’t catch even a glimpse of Alibaba at their manor, and that didn’t change even when Sinbad finally went to look for him.
He was never in his room and never around at mealtimes. He didn’t seem to ever pass through the entrance hall, and he certainly didn’t go to the garden. Only the guards had seen him, going in and out at odd times.
Giving up, Sinbad tried asking Anise, who was the one most familiar with him among the staff -- even setting aside their unknown history.
“Sir Ali? He’s been visiting the businesses he invested in and the people he gave loans to. He was following new leads too,” she said. That made sense, and Sinbad nodded, in between making faces at her young son. Apparently the boy had forgotten Sinbad while he was gone and was now being shy around this strange new person. “He’s also… been visiting the slums. He was helping people there find work, or helping fix things.”
The first one made sense, but the second one made Sinbad raise his eyebrows in surprise. “In the slums?” he repeated.
As he looked up at Anise from where he’d crouched to tease the very small Alibaba, the boy peeked out from behind his mother’s skirts and looked at Sinbad with interest. He resembled both Anise and the adult Alibaba very much, though his face was much rounder and his short, soft hair a golden brown somewhere between the two.
When Sinbad glanced back and smiled, the boy ducked out of sight again.
Sinbad clicked his tongue, straightening. This kid, acting all cute… Esra had plenty of stories to tell about how excitable he was normally.
“Yes, the place we used to live. But the reason…” Anise said, reaching down to pat her son on the head. “I don’t know. He seems very familiar with it, but why would a person like him…”
A ‘person like him’, huh? It was a strange thing to say. Not because Sinbad disagreed, though he wasn’t sure whether he did or not, but because Anise couldn’t have possibly actually missed seeing Alibaba’s face. He wasn’t consistent about actually hiding it, so she had to know. To say it like that, did she not recognize him after all? Were they really strangers, after all?
That couldn’t be right. Then… Alibaba knew her, but she didn’t know him…?
Finding no plausible answer even after turning the matter over in his mind, Sinbad set it aside -- again.
“Should I look for him there?” he asked instead.
Anise shook her head quickly. “Young master, that wouldn’t be a good idea. You don’t know your way around, and the slums aren’t very welcoming to outsiders. It could be trouble if you go.”
If his mother was the madam of the house, then naturally Sinbad was the young master. Unlike Alibaba and Esra, he didn’t try to correct Anise’s way of addressing him. After all, ‘young master’ was nothing compared to his intended future title of ‘your majesty’.
He could understand her point. Even when he and Esra had been poor, Sinbad had been a fisherman, not a slum-dweller, and nowadays he looked nothing short of rich. And even if he stripped off his expensive accessories and clothing, he would still stand out just walking down a back alley -- with his confidence, his looks, everything. Sinbad had always been better at drawing attention than at keeping a low profile.
He was sure he would come out on top in the end, but why ask to be mugged when it wasn’t necessary?
Not necessary yet, anyway.
“Does he at least come back to sleep, do you think?” Sinbad wondered, a bit exasperated.
“Sometimes,” Anise said. “The maids say there’s things out of place or the sheets need to be changed. But... not every night.”
She had started out as a maid herself, but with the additional responsibilities that had been given to her over time, Anise’s role was closer to a head servant or even an estate’s steward. Even though Esra had slowly begun to take a more active role in managing the manor as her health improved, the servants generally still reported to Anise.
And what they didn’t report directly, they gossiped.
Naturally, Alibaba was a very popular source of gossip in the first place, much less with his strange behavior after returning.
“Our Sir Ali has become quite a delinquent,” Sinbad tittered, shaking his head in mock disapproval. “But don’t worry, Miss Anise! I’ll have him straightened out in no time!”
Anise nodded, her expression grave but her eyes twinkling. “We can only count on you, young master.”
As Sinbad departed, the small Alibaba hiding behind her finally peeked out again. Staring after him with a serious expression, he finally looked up at his mother and parroted seriously, “Youn’ master.”
His nose scrunched up as Anise ruffled his hair. “That’s right,” she said. “And if you ask him, I’m sure he’ll tell you lots of interesting stories about his adventures. Wouldn’t that be fun?” Her son didn’t respond, only turning to look again in the direction Sinbad had gone, his expression comically deep in thought. Finally, he nodded.
He liked stories. It would be pretty fun indeed.
~.~
The delinquent Sir Ali returned home two days later, long past nightfall. Alibaba was unaware that he had been affixed with this kind of label, and he would have protested fervently, if he had known. It wasn't as if he was doing something shady! And while perhaps not fitting to society's perceptions of upstanding, the places he had been going were hardly dens of crime and immorality either.
He just got carried away sometimes. It would be dark before he knew it, and it just seemed easier to spend the night in the slums, in one of their old hideaways or some place like them.
Compared to the manor, those abandoned little boltholes known only to the street rats felt more familiar, even after all this time.
...He just couldn't get used to it.
He understood -- he couldn't go back. This world, even if it wasn't where he was born, was to be his home now. It was where he would live on, just like Aladdin had asked him to. It was his new home. There were even already people he cared about here, the younger Anise, Sinbad, and a growing number of others. That was why he had started trying to make things better, to fix the things he had been unable to do anything about as a child in Balbadd, and maybe pay off his debt in some small, distant way by preventing the slums from suffering so much in the future.
He knew and accepted all this. He tried to keep moving forward, as best as he could. And yet, he just couldn't get used to it at all. To the manor, to his own wealth, to Anise who didn't recognize him. Even as he kept himself busy, there was a ceaseless feeling of restlessness and tension thrumming at the back of his mind.
Sighing, Alibaba rubbed at his bruised knuckles.
With everything going on, he had realized embarrassingly late that certain things would not play out as before. Specifically, since her life had been changed so early, Anise would no longer have any reason or opportunity to even meet Cassim and Mariam, much less take them in under her wing. And who could say what would happen to them without her, especially given... everything with their father.
Alibaba didn't regret punching the drunkard in the face when he went looking for the young versions of his childhood friends, but it was hardly a long-term solution.
Could he ask Anise to look after them, and set history back on track? Or...
Sighing again, Alibaba stopped in front of the door to his room and silently began to ease it open. He had only returned to pick up some things and check his records before moving forward with his next effort -- negotiating with one of his investments about hiring a few more workers from among the slumfolk, who would at least have the opportunity to provide for their families. Then he’d be out again come morning, keeping himself busy to avoid dwelling too much.
But as he slipped into the room, shutting the door behind him, Alibaba froze in surprise.
There was a figure in the window, silhouetted by the clear moonlight.
Meeting his eyes, Sinbad smiled and held up a finger to his lips. He nodded toward Alibaba’s bed -- where a small lump was curled up among the cushions. His younger self, fast asleep after trying to play ambush with Sinbad and listening to his stories late into the night.
Alibaba, who hadn’t even realized that Sinbad and his group had returned to Balbadd, took a moment to regain his bearings.
Getting ambushed like this, he was reminded of Morgiana sneaking into his room to abduct him back then. But more than that, he suddenly and strongly remembered the adult Sinbad he and the others had met in Balbadd. This was his first time seeing Sinbad since his memories had more or less returned, and the first time he could compare the future king with his child self.
The future Sinbad had smiled a lot, but it had been very different.
Blinking quickly, Alibaba cleared away the double image. When Sinbad pointed upward, seemingly toward the ceiling, he nodded in understanding.
Silently, they slipped out the window and clambered up onto the manor’s flat roof. As usual in Balbadd, the night was warm, but a steady breeze blew toward the sea, making the air feel fresh and cool. The dark sky was clear, scattered with stars that Alibaba habitually linked into the major constellations for navigation.
The sky, at least, was the same in both worlds.
Sinbad watched him with a patient smile, propping his head up with one arm. Feeling suddenly awkward, Alibaba cleared his throat.
“Sorry to keep you waiting,” he said. “I didn’t realize you’re back.”
“Mm, for a while now. Seems like you’ve been busy,” Sinbad noted. He grinned. “Want to tell me about it? Or do you want to hear about my great adventures first? I’ve been told it’s a very good story!” He puffed up, preening.
It was an easy out, and Alibaba was halfway to accepting when he unexpectedly found himself hesitating.
Agreeing would just be running away again. Hadn’t Morgiana had the right of it, back then when she had enough and just dragged him off to see Aladdin? Making them talk to each other had been just what they needed, because Alibaba had never been a person who could accomplish things on his own. Back then, now, he hadn’t been able to make any headway, no matter how hard he struggled to keep going.
Sinbad had never pressed for answers, even though it wasn’t possible for him to have missed all the strange things about Alibaba. But didn’t he deserve an explanation? Didn’t he deserve Alibaba’s trust?
‘It would be good if you two can look after each other.’
‘I don't want you to end up alone.’
That was what Aladdin had said. He had arranged their meeting -- their headlong collision -- on purpose, just so that Alibaba would have... a friend.
His shoulders slumped as he let out a silent breath and closed his eyes for a moment. Looking up at the stars, he slowly picked out the words.
“I... went to Musta’sim Kingdom,” he started. “To their magic academy. I wanted to see if they knew anything about traveling between dimensions.” His lips twitched. “They didn’t.”
“That’s the same thing you tried to ask Valefor about,” Sinbad said.
Alibaba nodded. “I asked the High Priestess in Reim too. Those are all things Yunan suggested trying, when I told him about what happened.” He paused, his hands clasping tightly as he made several false starts to just say it. “The thing is... I’m, I’m not from this dimension. This world.”
“...Ah,” Sinbad made a soft sound.
“It’s a lot like this world, the one I’m from. It’s almost the same,” Alibaba went on, the words coming quickly now that he’d started. “The same countries, the same people, everything. Except that it’s the future. It’s fourteen years later. I was in Qishan, fourteen years after the first dungeon was conquered, and then afterwards I was in Partevia, and there was... there was you.”
“There was me,” Sinbad agreed. “With Baal.”
He sounded thoughtful, but not... as surprised as Alibaba would have expected.
His expression, when Alibaba snuck a glance at him, was considering but not in the least troubled. “So it’s like that,” Sinbad said finally, nodding to himself. “I see, it makes sense. So then Miss Anise is your mother, and that’s why you knew about Valefor. And all this time, you were looking for a way back. I see, I see.” However, as the things that didn’t make sense connected in his mind, his brow slowly furrowed. “But if you’re moping around like this, then...”
“...There isn’t a way back,” Alibaba said quietly.
The silence felt very heavy. He had already known it, of course, but saying it outloud made it worse.
“I have to live in this world,” he repeated what he had told himself countless times.
But even so, he still couldn’t accept it. His debts in Balbadd, his promise to Aladdin, he would never be able to fulfill any of them. And that, he just couldn’t...
“--I’m a little jealous.”
Eyes wide in surprise, Alibaba snapped his head around to stare at Sinbad, who chuckled. “I am,” he insisted, smiling wryly. “You know, I want to change the world. But for you, you change it just by being here. That’s right, isn’t it? This world was like your past, but it’s going to be different because you’re here.” He grinned. “Really, a man who can change the world! I’m jealous!”
That was the last thing Alibaba expected, and he blinked at Sinbad blankly for a moment. “You--! Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s a good thing!” Alibaba protested. “What if I mess something up? Even with you...”
He cut himself off, but it was already enough. Understanding sparked in Sinbad’s eyes, making his grin widen.
“You know about the future me, huh? Right, you knew Baal! I’ll be famous, right? I’ll found a kingdom, just like I said?” he pressed excitedly.
“Not if I mess it up!” Alibaba shot back, flustered. “That’s what I’m saying--!”
Laughing again, Sinbad slapped him roughly on the back. “Don’t worry about it!” he declared.
....That sounded like there should be more after it, but nothing followed. It seemed that Sinbad had said everything he felt necessary. Alibaba could feel his rigid expression twist in exasperation that had long since become familiar.
“What ‘don’t worry'?!” Alibaba demanded with a sudden sense of deja vu. “How am I supposed to not worry? We’re talking about… about the fate of the world! And your fate too!”
Aladdin, Sinbad, both of them! Why were his friends like this?
Of course, Sinbad just kept on laughing. “Don’t worry, don’t worry!” he repeated. “Come on, have some faith in me! I’m Sinbad, the dungeon conqueror! I can see the flow of fate, and I’ll find my way no matter what. So what if it’s a little different? Isn’t it even better than just following someone else -- even if it’s another me?”
...Typical. Sinbad’s grin was infuriatingly smug and self-confident, and Alibaba still felt like he wasn’t taking things seriously enough at all. They were talking about time travel and the future--
But maybe that didn’t matter that much, in the end.
This was a different world. Sinbad was a person who could do anything, and he was right -- he would find his way to greatness, regardless of any changes Alibaba’s presence caused. That was the kind of life he would lead, not because of fate, but because of his own nature and choices.
It wasn’t just him. Was there really a right or wrong in a history that was still being written? There were things Alibaba wanted to prevent, of course. The suffering of his friends, the tragedies in the slums, everything that had happened with King Rashid’s death. But it was only natural that other tragedies might occur because of the things he changed.
It was always like that. It was just part of living.
The things he couldn’t get back wouldn’t change. But he still had a future. A future Aladdin had worked hard to make for him, in whatever had gone wrong in their world.
He had even made sure that Alibaba would have a friend to rely on.
“But you know, if you’re still worried...” that friend said, wiggling his eyebrows as he sidled up to Alibaba, “you can just leave it to me. I’ll create a whole new world that no one’s ever seen -- not even you. So just believe in me, and become my--”
“No.”
“You didn’t even let me finish!” Sinbad protested.
“I believe in you,” Alibaba said -- smiling, because it was true. It had always been true. “But didn’t you say it’s better to find your own way, instead of following someone? Besides, there are still thinks I need to do.”
Even if they didn’t know him and weren’t really the people he knew, he still wanted to help them -- Anise, Cassim and Mariam, Morgiana… Maybe even Aladdin, in the far future when he appeared again. And there was also still that organization out there, moving to create abnormalities in the world, just like in Balbadd.
Even if he couldn’t accept it yet, Alibaba would continue moving forward.
Sighing a little, Sinbad nonetheless smiled. “Alright. But don’t forget you can always ask me for help,” he said. “Personal stuff, or things you can’t explain, it doesn’t matter, you can count on me.”
“I know. You’re a pretty reliable guy,” Alibaba agreed, echoing Aladdin’s message wryly. Closing his eyes for a moment, he smiled too. “You can count on me too. Let’s create a new world, Sin.”
And someday, this world would become his home.

Economic downturn, racism and war.
So, normally I’d be in some sort of non-sober state while writing this, and be full of my typical rash wit. But not today. Today I want to talk about what I (and many others) are seeing down the tube. First, let’s go over the quick run of what’s going on. 1, we’re having concentration camps of both migrants as well as asylum seekers. This is inherently inhumane and a violation of various multiparty agreements that were made post world war 2 to not cock things up like Germany did with the Jews, or more locally relevant, what we did to fuck over the Japanese in the same period. 2, We’re in a trade war with China, who is itself trying to do a hostile takeover of Hong Kong (and don’t kid yourself for a moment, that’s exactly what the fuck that is), which happens to be the 3rd most important economic center in the world by most accounts. 3, Russia is fucking around with our politicians and buying them off to make for easier voter suppression and just bloody hacking the electronic voting machines, which oh by the way, an adequately caffeinated high-school nerd could probably do. 4, And finally, despite not technically being “in a war”, we’re not at peace, either. Hell, we haven’t been for as long as I can remember. Like many people on this website, one of my first memories was 9/11 and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. I vividly remember the latter, as we sat in our living room watching the bombs drop and my mother in hushed tones said “Well.. This is it.” and my stepfather, an Army Ranger at the time, looked tired and said matter of factly “we’ll not be rid of this until you’re a grown man, and even then..”. And he was right. Now, all of these things seem somewhat not related. Well, I guess I should say the 1st doesn’t exactly line up with the 2nd and 3rd, which have some geopolitical relevance to each other. But let’s take a history trip together, shall we? First, be sure to bring the hairspray, because we’re going into the Reagan-era and just before for a bit. Imagine if you will the supposed dying throes of the Cold War. Bioweapons program supposedly being shut down, the Soviet Union splitting away, and the Americas? Well they’ve gone through hell, and by no small measure it was due to proxy wars, puppet governments and a complete disregard for “other” people for the sake of borders and protection. Panama, Nicaragua, Guatemala and other countries are having civil wars funded by both sides of that iron curtain, causing institutionalized violence, setting the development of these countries back fucking decades, and setting them up to fail. [Note that when I say “setting the development back”, I do not mean they are in any way lesser to us due to this. In fact, in my wheelhouse of Public Health, they arguably do a better job of handling shit than we could dream of in the US. They’re damn fine people, and in some ways thriving, but to say we didn’t fuck with them would be a disservice. ] Part of this “setting up to fail” strategy was the use of drugs as a means of easy funding, which the U.S. government did wholly support to the point of screwing African Americans (and to a much lesser extent, poor people in general) in particular over by introducing things like Cocaine and Crack to poor neighborhoods (though it should be noted such drugs had been in the realm of public notice for the better part of a century before, just not as accessible). Funny thing about using drugs to fuel wars. Wars can end. But the demand for drugs by a population that doesn’t have the ability to be treated due to some “moral outrage” against helping addicts? Well, that still remains a very profitable venue. So even after we stopped giving a fuck about any of these countries and their governments gave up the sale of illegal drugs, at least in the open, criminal elements showed up to do what they did best: manufacture and transport drugs to where the best demand was, the United States typically. And to protect this profitable enterprise, these groups would claim territory, claim children as recruits, commit other crimes to support the chain, etc. And these activities still go on today, wherein some cartels and gangs have gotten rich enough to effectively buy off governments and have their own fiefdoms, where those with any ability risk their lives to run. And yet, so many do. Also, it’s important to note that while countries like Mexico are arguably more stable than say, Honduras or El Salvador, they’re still pretty fucked from the radiation of these activities. So these families try to make it to the closest, arguably “most stable” country they can, ironically the one that set the stones for the foundation of where they found themselves. And they are treated as trash, as less than human, as animals. Because we refuse to see our own guilt. We refuse to see what we have done, not centuries ago, but less than 50 years ago. And who is egged on the most to hate these people? Well, if you look at it, it’s the least “most powerful” group that can easily be manipulated: Lower class white groups by a vast majority. Groups who themselves see hardships, certainly, but more than anything know two words: Fear and Authority. They are afraid of the “other”, the “jawb steelin’ immigunts”, the “criminals and rapists” as the person who inhabits the White House calls them. And they respect and adore those who can wield an iron first. Someone they can imagine being, whether it’s a business tycoon of a dictator they see as a near-messiah, who says it’s not their fault they are struggling, and then makes an easy, low effort “solution” for them to point to as to what could cure all those ills which are, at their root, legitimate. [Note: This by no means excuses any White Supremacist or other racist ideologies. That shit needs to be fixed, and there is no excuse for that.] Let’s take a pause for a moment on that, as it’s significant. Is this the first time this has happened? Heavens no, in fact, many examples exist in history. But one stands out to me above all. Go back with me again, if you’d be so kind. You feel the warmth of the sun on your face, you can hear the distant waves, and the not so distant hustle and bustle of a city. You smell a mix of salt water infused air with just a hint of smelted metal or gunpowder. Perhaps you hear some music from The Andrew Sisters crackling out of a radio near an open window. You’re in San Francisco, not too long after the World’s Fair, where the hopes of Utopia were promptly shut off to be dismantled and loaded for the war effort of World War 2. In fact, as you look around, you see the strangest thing. There are clearly Japanese inspired markets and homes all around, but inhabiting them? No Japanese, surely, but the Shoe Shines and markets filled with a vibrant African American community. Some would one day call this the West Coast Harlem. And by their account, it was a wonderful community, of which I have no doubt. However. Those who lived and worked and loved in these buildings just months prior were put into camps. In Utah, in Nevada, California, Washington. In fact, it pains me a bit to know one such place is but a very hearty stones throw from where I sit writing this. They were put there and made to stay due to risk of espionage, national security, or “for their own safety”. They were told to join the war effort as translators or soldiers, or remain there. The doctors of that community and the nurses too would end up working without pay, saving their own communities with limited supplies and truly working goddamned miracles in these camps to keep people alive, as politicians would brag “For every cent we spend on the Japanese, we spend a whole dollar on our boys out on the front!” That kind of shit sound familiar? And that African American community? Well, while it was a positive thing for that demographic, certainly, and they had a valid right to be a community, that was by no means organic. The military spread out to places like Arkansas, Texas, Georgia, wherever there were large populations of blacks, whom the whites saw still as highly undesirables, and the military saw as cheap labour. Well, the military found their people. And those people found cheap, effectively abandoned communities, and were able to live somewhat better than where they came from, all while building warships. However, just like with the previous example, this war wouldn’t last forever. But not just like that previous example, the demand for warships is rather... Specific, in both timing and transferable skills, shall we say? So, this cheap labour was made of a demographic that could be relatively easily discarded without them having enough of a voice to cause waves. And soon enough, the Japanese would return from their internment camps, and let’s just say things were... Tense, between these two groups. Two groups who were, by most accounts, politically undesirable, and if they were fucked, well who would care, right? If it caused generational issues, and exacerbated an economy that would make a good deal of trouble, as long as it’s not the demographic that matters... No worries. It’s not like they even really have good proof of who was really at fault, nor who profited from later real-estate scoop ups and other such economic trends. After all, they moved for the jobs, and the Japanese? Well that was a national security issue.... Don’t you love your country? While this isn’t analogous to what we are seeing today, I hope you can notice the similar theme. Except this time, the demographic in question has to feel “empowered” in some way, and having who they want voted in anyways due to international meddling is more an afterthought to the “yay, we won!” mentality. And the expendables will have a bit more of a veiled attempt to undercut their work via a trade war with a nation who is admittedly, a scumbag (which we have collectively supported with corporate dollars for decades). This trade war will cause a lot of businesses, farms, and the like to close, making it easier for corporate groups to buy out the competition and profit all the more for it (despite some initial risk due to economic trends). All the while, a different, remarkably innocent group is being blamed and tortured for their “crimes”. It would not surprise me if in the next 2 years, we will see a recession that will make 2008 look pretty alright. And make no mistake, it will not be due to the president at that time. The gears of the machine have been turned now and in the last year and a half. Likewise, we may well see a war. With who? I do not know. But I most certainly know who will profit from it. And who will die from it, and who will be dehumanized further to be the scapegoat. We’re in incredibly dangerous times, and we need to be aware of why, if we have any hope of surviving.

DIY 10-Second Flavor-Pairing Trick for Female Weight Loss
→ Simply Follow This Plan and You’ll Succeed ←
3 Fat Hoarding “Evil-Step-Mother-Hormones”
The truth is, 200,000 years of evolution have conditioned the female body to alter your hormones at different stages of your life, so you too can build a human being with your body. And that’s a big deal.
You see, during puberty, your 3 ‘Queen’ beauty and youth hormones – Insulin, Cortisol, and Estrogen – do everything possible to make you more attractive to the opposite sex/others keeping you slender, level-headed and energetic.
However soon after, those ‘3 Queens’ start acting more like ‘Evil Step Mothers’ after puberty all the way through menopause by continuously cycling your body for pregnancy each and every month.
First, Insulin who used to be your “skinny-hormone” keeping you slender, makes it almost impossible for you to lose weight and keep it off.
Then, your “Happy-hormone”, Cortisol transitions to your “Anxiety-Stress-Depression & Sadness (for no reason) Hormone”.
Finally your “Pretty-Hormone”, Estrogen that kept you wrinkle-free, toned and energized soon causes age spots, loose skin and cellulite.
This is simply your body switching form “find-a-mate” mode to “procreate” mode.
And because it’s our job as women to carry on the human race, we end up building bodies that look great for making and protecting our babies…
…and not so good for the beach and little black dresses
And listen,
I know your goal in life is to be more than some baby-making machine,
But from a biological standpoint, The female body only cares about two things:
Staying Alive and,
Making More Lives
Think about it,
Your body is literally designed to build a bigger, warmer and softer environment to help you create the next generation of humans.
So that’s why when you use traditional diets, exercise and pills that treat the problem from the outside-in,
You are actually fighting ongoing losing battle against 200,000 years of evolution, while damaging your hormones and dismantling your metabolism with every pound you lose.
That’s why as soon as you stop dieting or working out, your body starts to gain all the weight back almost immediately while punishing you with headaches, depression, irregular periods and poor sleep.
Sound familiar?
That’s your body literally saying,
“I don’t think so Missy!”
This is all beginning to make sense, isn’t it?
Think about it…
All those diets that have counting points, carbs and portions that force intense cravings and binge-eating actually damage your insulin, causing uncontrollable weight gain, insulin-resistance leading to diabetes and other life threatening diseases.
And it’s these high-intensity routines, DVD’s and gruelling fitness classes that actually skyrocket cortisol levels doing irreversible damage to your joints while creating microscopic scars on your heart.
And please don’t tell me you’ve thrown your money at commercial weight loss clinics like Weight Watchers, Dr Berstein.
I know they work for a little bit but 92% of us gain the weight back while priming estrogen levels for constant headaches, irregular periods and endometriosis along with ovarian, breast and cervical cancers.
The sad (and very scary) truth is:
Even though you lose the weight at the start using these “fat-first” cardio-saturated rabbit-food diet methods, You’re causing permanent damage to your metabolism, your immune system… …and especially your vital organs with every pound you lose using these recycled, blunt-force-trauma methods.
Trying to lose weight this way is the same as using sand-paper to take off your makeup each night….
….it’s overkill, it doesn’t make sense and more importantly – IT’S DANGEROUS!
And trust me I know,
Giving in is easy because each one of their million-dollar marketing tactics preys on women like you and me by seducing you with exactly what you want to hear in your most vulnerable moments…
That all ends today.
Because the truth is,
Each time you try these temporary “outside-in” approaches it’s like having razor-sharp thorns poke thousands of tiny holes in your metabolism making it even more pain-staking to lose weight on your next attempt.
It’s not fair and you deserve better!
So let me ask you this,
Doesn’t it make more sense to use a trusted solution that works from the “inside-out” to sync WITH your metabolism in order to ignite your true fat-burning potential,
So YOU TOO can experience the permanent weight-loss victory you deserve?
Today it’s finally time for you to seize control and…
Lose weight 6 times faster than today’s most popular commercial diet without counting a single calorie…
Look and feel 10-20 years younger by eating the “comfort-food” TV Doctors are getting paid to say is unhealthy…
Burn fat faster in female trouble spots by freeing up fat cells for use as “on-demand” energy.
Live 22% longer by stacking carbohydrates in a way that actually strengthens your heart while you lose the weight.
Achieve the freedom from hunger and food-obsession using a “procrastination-method” used in Alcoholics Anonymous for over 75 years.
Find the “golden-window” of when to drink wine and still lose weight by simply using the stopwatch on your smartphone.

it took a fuckin while to draw these but alas here she is. i would have put her basic info DRAWN there 2 but the PAIN of lacking a pentab & using nothing but MOUSE is terrible but u kno ,,,, nya! both canon & variant verse will be explained below B”) just 4give my poor ass drawing skills
basically her full name is kyana fletcher d.(aiki) mellington. she’s a british-japanese ( though she’s lived more in england rather than japan , thus was more used to their culture and language. she has visited her mother’s hometown several times though , but not as often. her accent is ever so slightly similar to bl/izzard’s tra/cer ) . she’s about 23 y/o born on 05/26/19XX , about 6′5″ in height though originally 6′2″. her heels made her taller. fluent in japanese and knows a little bit of french. she’s an IT engineer at mu/rkoff , yet also a web developer/designer and was responsible for several unsolved crimes. she uses a golden revolver to commit these crimes.
she has undiagnosed psychopathy mainly because she rarely gave a shit about her mental health ( and highly doubts that she is sick in the first place , even believes in the contrary that she sees better than anyone else. smth like that. ) .
her character , basically , is the villain in most stories who’s aware that they’re the villain and even lives up to it. think lor/d dom’s i’m the bad guy or sa/l just being the little shit he is. maybe less worse. or worse. you decide. she’s an antagonist and isn’t exactly the nicest girl around.
PRE/BACKSTORY
kyana grew up in a rather wealthy family with parents that loved her so. she’s a spoiled brat to say at the least , since her parents always gave her what she wanted and tried to make reason to her incorrect behavior . in school , she was typically a ‘’queen bee’’ but rarely had any friends despite her intimidating personality. it’s not like she cared too much though , what more she liked being an intimidating figure. needless to say , she grew up in a life that was near to ‘ perfect ‘ but shit hit the fan eventually .
her parents weren’t too young when they gave birth , thus they died of old age when kyana was around her teens. this distressed her , of course , but unlike most was quick to move on. her parents’ wealth was promised to be given to her when she was 18 but was first given to the hands of her aunt whom she moved in with. her aunt didn’t necessarily pay attention to her too much unlike her parents , and kyana wasn’t used to such treatment. she felt neglected for this state of her childhood but tried to not let it bother her too much . she had to move schools too eventually , and therefore lost her ‘popularity’ . she always got into several arguments and refused to be proven wrong even with evidence that she in fact was. her pride was something she never gave up . she eventually learned to become manipulative and put up a personality that was liked by many so her popularity once again increased and just like before , she was loved by many. but she uses this to her advantage to bully/bring down those who’ve disliked her at first , up to the point where they’ve chosen to leave the school / other terrible stuff. she never felt remorse for this however , only pure satisfaction. basically the same shit until she grew up to have a job. college was where she learned to toy with other’s hearts/feelings just for the sake of her amusement/sexual satisfaction for both men and women . her charms/good looks became a heavy advantage for her on this , along with her ability to flirt wisely though all deceived. ‘ falling in love ‘ was never a state kyana felt in her life because she couldn’t care less for romance .
another thing about her personality as she grew up was she despised rules. she did not see the point in them , be it the commandments or laws in general. she has her own belief in where rules always rendered useless because ‘ life’s short , so ‘m gonna do whatever the fuck i wanna do ‘ . she finds it boring to follow such commands like robots being obliged to do tasks they’re programmed to do. this leads her to do some crimes for , again , the sake of her amusement or needs. be it greed for money or wrath / wanting revenge on some prick who’s pissed her off. she’s that petty. she was very power hungry too , which lead her to abandon her catholicism and worship herself instead.
CANON
kyana was still her ever so bitchy self in mount m/assive. of course she fucked with the other employees in more ways than one , and made sure she had a likable figure there as well. though she was aware of how terrible the shit they do in her workplace , it’s not like she could care less because ‘’ helping them nor pitying them would not be my benefit. perhaps , if i did , i’d achieve ‘justice’ as most would say , but it’s still an equivalence to golden rings to me. they’re both useless to me , hun. ‘’ so she continues on with her work. the variants always piqued her interest though , and so ‘’playing’’ with them didn’t seem bad aka she wouldn’t really mind taking a trip inside the asylum herself ( AND BOY OH BOY WAS SHE WRONG )
another thing she liked doing though was purely teasing with everyone else. think constantly bullying wa/ylon despite his size/timidness/reluctance to go ‘’rebel’’ with her ( and truthfully she does pity those who liked to follow rules , saying that they’re missing one hell of a life and just hopelessly becoming slaves to some dumb text printed on some paper ) . she would literally cross the boundaries and even tease her boss as well since she didn’t enjoy being ‘bossed’ around or having someone more dominant/powerful than she is. ( lit tho she’d place a gun against his head n threaten him all she was n 5 seconds later lol bitch it’s a watergun i cant BELIEVE u peed urself!! )
VARIANT
in which her dream becomes true. this one’s still pretty much a huge wip but she generally takes the same path as wa/ylon , except she was either thrown in there w/o having to go to the morphogenic engine for either 1) angering jere/my and him just wantin 2 get petty revenge idk 2) kyana wasn’t mentally healthy in the first place and her little ‘gun’ incident made them throw her there , god im so unsure or 3) her just. getting in. bc why not. ( i was supposed 2 add abt her following after way’s paths but that’s a WHOLE DIFF STORY OOPS )
she unfortunately gets in unarmed though and loses her gun in the process. though she’s (thicc) physically capable of handling herself , her combat skills were not as great w/o the usage of weapons. thus in the path of meeting fra/nk she unfortunately gets her left breast cut off ( bc it was ‘’’meaty’’’ and thus more delicious yum YUM ) and manages to escape him . she’s slightly TERRIFIED at this point but not as much. the other variants didn’t matter to her nor did they have a large effect on her , what more they annoyed her with their stares/w/e im too lazy to explain it at this moment it’d be pretty obvious since she was a female wandering in the male ward
much like both protagonists , traveling around the asylum made her sanity DROP further than it already was originally. it’s basically the same or at least ALMOST the same torture as wa/ylon went through ( in which i’ll talk about in a more detailed way #soon(tm) ) . the gown , obviously , came from ed/die in attempts of making her into one of his brides ( and since she was presumbably the first female he’s come across with he’d be glad to finally found someone who was already PHYSICALLY acceptable for him so all he did was shove her in that damn dress ) but at this point she’s already snapped . she’d play for a while , but moments later had fought back and eventually killing the other inmate in the process , but not without saying ‘ thanks for the dress though , darlin~ ‘ in the process of murder. much like her previous criminal acts , she found slaughter amusing and p much did it to the other variants she’d come across w/ and called it an act of ‘mercy’ since it was so much better to die than let murkoff use them for experiments. think chris’ except his intentions were more linked to the wal/rider , in where kyana talked about the entire asylum in general.
the guts were a faux flowercrown . since she still had to look pretty even in a godforsaken place , which should hint/show her VERY obvious narcissism .
she has either stayed in the asylum as a wandering female variant in the male ward or if we’re following/making her path in the whistl/eblower story , she’d end up killing even jerem/y rather than miles’ wa/lrider doing it. same w/ waylo/n but AGAIN , that’s a different story(tm) that i’ll post abt soon
ONCE AGAIN NON FILTER FOR PROPER COLORS...

From the ashes, rises Kieran Devereux (Matteo Matari FC), An Empty Shell, Mercenary of Stone Garden. Penned by Rika
The personification of a hound fits Stone Garden’s illustrious mercenary perfectly; dark, independent, and mysterious. A life in the grey - Kieran has made a life for himself through the morally grey. His refusal to take on the mantle of the Lord of Thieves, in favor of staying in the shadows, proves to us just how dangerous he can become when provoked. We are thrilled to see him come to life!

Character Name: Kieran Devereux
Age: 34
Selected Open Skeleton: An Empty Shell
Dukedom: Stone Garden
Occupation: Mercenary. Kieran works within Ashbourne’s black market as a freelancer. He is involved in a number of illegal ventures, willing and able to do any job he’s paid for. Conducts most of his ‘business’ within Stone Garden itself, but it isn’t uncommon for him to be hired by someone in-the-know from one of the other Dukedoms.
Faceclaim: Matteo Martari
Pronouns: He/Him
Biography
TW: death/murder, abuse
Kieran Devereux was born into poverty, deep within the sunless caves of Stone Garden. His parents, Silas and Estelle, were no one of importance—just a miner and a seamstress who excelled at blending into the shadows. They never thought a child was in their cards, for a lowly oracle had dictated Estelle’s womb uninhabitable. That was fine with Silas, a child was just another mouth to feed, but Estelle craved motherhood. So when she passed a twelfth week of pregnancy without a miscarriage, she called the child a miracle. A blessing bestowed upon them by a fertility goddess. Holy intervention or not, it was their new reality. But as the pregnancy progressed, Estelle grew weak. Silas believed that their child was the cause of his wife’s ill state of health and wished they had better heeded the oracle’s words from years prior. They lacked the funds for a proper physician and could do nothing but hope that her condition would not worsen. It would seem, however, that the fates were no longer on their side.
As Kieran took his first breath, Estelle took her last. She used the last bit of strength she could muster up to bring her son into the world and then she was gone—something Kieran’s father would never forgive him for. Silas blamed his wife’s death on the newborn and any inkling of love he held for his son dissipated.
An older neighbor who’d worked alongside Estelle for years and never had any children of her own took young Kieran in after his birth. Silas spent most days drinking away his sorrows, hardly able to take care of himself, let alone a baby. But even when he sobered up, he still wanted nothing to do with Kieran. Gemma, his caretaker, was not a prickly woman, but like most denizens of the duchy she did not hand out kindness in great abundance. She taught Kieran in his earliest years that if he wanted to survive the dog-eat-dog world of Stone Garden, he needed to harden his heart. Soft souls did not last long underground.
Gemma passed when Kieran was five. He was sent back to live with his father, a man he’d previously only gotten to see a few times a year. Silas tried to pass him off to an orphanage, but they refused to take Kieran in. He was too old for their qualifications and he still had a living parent. Life with Gemma hadn’t been a bed of roses—they often struggled to get by and the woman didn’t have a very maternal nature—but Kieran would have chosen it a hundred times over compared to what he experienced with his father. Silas treated him with cold disdain on the best of days and left Kieran bloodied and bruised at his worst. As a child, Kieran tried his best to keep from doing anything that might set his father off, but it didn’t take long to realize that Silas didn’t need a reason to be cruel. Kieran learned it was better to find refuge on the streets than risk sleeping at home on nights when his father’s closest companion was a bottle.
It was during those nights spent alone and cold that Kieran found himself face to face with a young, orphaned hellhound. Finding a hellhound wasn’t a common occurrence in general, but coming across one so young without a pack was even more rare. Kieran knew plenty of merchants would pay a pretty penny to capture and domesticate it, but couldn’t bring himself to send the creature into a life of captivity. Almost as if the hound knew this, a hesitant form of trust was cultivated between the two. He tried to care for it to the best of his abilities, rummaging through the garbage of butcher shops for scraps of meat to feed it as often as he could. Their bond only grew as the years passed and they both grew older. Kieran often dreamed of running away from Stone Garden to escape his father, but the thought of abandoning his hound played a large part in keeping him around.
Silas put him to work as soon as he could, but Kieran earned far more slipping his hands in and out of the pockets of wealthy merchants and nobles in the city. Not that his father knew of his little talent, Kieran went to great lengths to hide any evidence of it from Silas. The few times his father had found out that Kieran was concealing money from him, he’d had ended up with injuries that took a week to recover from.
He took every hit without putting up a fight. Never spoke up about the abuse. Silas had conditioned him to believe that he deserved it all. That Kieran needed to be punished for killing his mother. But you can only push someone so far before they snap.
That moment finally came when he was fifteen. Silas had returned home particularly inebriated and in a sour mood he planned to take out on his son. Kieran overpowered his father for the first time that night, dodging the man’s fists and landing hits of his own. Then, in the midst of blind rage, a knife found its way into his hand. The blade pierced Silas over and over again, leaving him dead long before it fell from Kieran’s grasp. In the moment everything felt like a blur, but looking back he remembers it all in vivid detail. Fortunately, what semblance of law enforcement present in Stone Garden didn’t often concern themselves much with the poor districts where Kieran resided. People like him and his father were a sea of nameless faces who mattered little in the grand scheme and disappeared all the time.
The next decade and a half was spent turning his pain into power. Kieran advanced his pickpocketing into grander thievery and eventually full on heists. He got involved in smuggling weapons and mined resources in and out of Stone Garden in his twenties. But what he is most infamous for is his work as a hitman. Kieran thrives in Ashbourne’s black market and he’s garnered a reputation among the kingdom’s darker circles. When whispers of choosing a new Lord of Thieves first began circling Stone Garden’s criminal underbelly, there were some who lauded Kieran as a candidate. But being a lord of anything sounded incredibly unappealing to Kieran. He enjoys his independence and has no interest in taking responsibility for anyone but himself and his hound—something he’s made very clear to the new Lord.
As a child of the caves, being a shadow is all Kieran has ever known. Now he takes the role in stride and uses it to his advantage. He may be an empty shell of a man, but if he can’t be loved why not be feared?
Personality
+ Resourceful – Any good thief needs to be able to adapt to their surroundings at a moment’s notice. Being resourceful is even more important in a Duchy where, for many, every day is a fight to survive. Kieran has a sharp mind and uses his cunning to escape many difficult situations.
+ Intuitive – Reading people is an innate skill of Kieran’s he’s had for as long as he can remember. He’s quick to catch onto people’s true intentions and emotions.
- Cynical – Stone Garden isn’t the kind of place where one finds much compassion or honesty and Kieran’s life has not proven otherwise. He believes that people are only motivated by their own self interest. Always has his guard up and is incredibly distrustful of any sincerity or integrity.
- Ruthless – In Kieran's line of work, you have to be ruthless to get the job done. Hesitation could be his downfall as a mercenary. Although he carries the weight of every death on his shoulders, he cannot show his targets any pity or compassion.

Exceptional First Car With Low Insurance?
I am straight 'A' student, and I have completed the Driver's Education course at my highschool.

I am probably only going to live in Florida for another year, and then I am moving out to California. Depending on what type of car I decide to get, I don't know if I will be taking it with me or not. My mom wants to buy me a brand new car, meaning a current 2008-09 model, but I keep explaining to her that it's very hard to find a cheap new model (unless someone knows something I don't?).

I have tried researching Mazda, Acura, Nissan, and Honda, because I prefer these companies; however, I haven't had any luck because I'm so new to shopping for a vehicle. I like hybrids, and it would help if I am able to get a car with great mileage as well. Of course, I'm sure many of you know this is because of our depleting economy, lol.

U.S. Taxpayer Funds Used To Develop and Market Merck's Gardasil Vaccine Global Empire
How NIH Uses U.S. Tax Dollars to Secure Profits for Vaccine Developers and Manufacturers
by The Vaccine Reaction Staff
It is no secret that huge conflicts of interest exist between vaccine promoters and vaccine makers.
Pediatrician and vaccine developer Paul Offit, for example, who is one of the nation's leading promoters of mandatory use of government recommended vaccines, holds a $1.5 million research chair at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, funded in part by Merck.1
Julie Gerberding left her post as Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where she oversaw the creation of national vaccine policies, to head Merck vaccines.2
Former Texas governor Rick Perry recommended state-wide inoculation of all 11- and 12-year-old girls with Merck's Gardasil vaccine after his chief of staff left to work at Merck.3 4
Just as disturbing are the millions of dollars that officials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) dole out to academic institutions and vaccine manufacturers to improve vaccine technology, find new, lucrative markets and boost vaccine marketability-functions that guarantee the profitability of corporations, but do not always ensure the well being of taxpayers, the public and patients.
Once upon a time, before passage of the Bayh-Dole Act by Congress in 1980 and the push for lucrative “technology transfer” business arrangements between federal agencies and for-profit corporations, inventions developed with federal funding were owned by the U.S. Government and not industry.
Today, taxpayer-supported research to develop new drugs and vaccines is voraciously patented by universities and drug companies for outsized Wall Street profits when the research rightfully belongs to taxpayers.5
HPV Vaccine – Using U.S. Taxpayer Funding to Develop and Market the Vaccine Globally
Development of the human papillomavirus (HPV) Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines is a case in point.
The initial research was funded by the NIH, National Cancer Institute, University of Rochester, Georgetown University and the University of Queensland, which licensed them to Merck and GlaxoSmithKline.6 7
In 2015, Merck made $1.9 billion on its Gardasil franchise.8
Soon, aggressive domestic and overseas marketing of the expensive HPV vaccines began, even as the vaccines themselves got poor marks for both safety and effectiveness.
In 2006, consumer advocacy groups had protested the FDA's fast tracking of Gardasil vaccine to licensure, citing inadequate safety data.9
Reports of sudden collapse/fainting (syncope) and serious neurological and immune system problems after Gardasil vaccinations emerged immediately after the vaccine was licensed.10
For example, in just one year between Sept. 1, 2010 and Sept. 15, 2011, there were thousands of Gardasil vaccine reaction reports of seizures, paralysis, blindness, pancreatitis, speech problems, short term memory loss, Guillain-Barré Syndrome and 26 deaths filed in the FDA's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).11 12
In 2016, judges in India's Supreme Court demanded answers after children died during a trial of the HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix.13
This is how investigative reporter Jeanne Lenzer cast the problems with HPV vaccines in 2011:14
There are better ways to spend the billions of dollars currently being spent on HPV vaccines.
First, we already have a pretty terrific way to prevent most cervical cancer deaths, and it's called the Pap smear.
Since poor women are less likely to get Pap smears and more likely to die from cervical cancer, we could start by extending medical services to them.
Second, many oral cancers are caused by smoking, and men and women who smoke are more likely to die of oral and cervical cancer, so we could invest in smoking cessation efforts.
As HPV vaccine safety and efficacy problems persisted, the NIH acknowledged the vaccine was widely shunned by mothers of both boys and girls, adolescents and many in poor and ethnic communities.
But that did not stop the NIH from continuing its subsidy of the vaccine industry with tax dollars, this time helping with actual marketing.
In 2013, the NIH gave half a million dollars to the University of Texas SW Medical Center Dallas to try to “identify an optimal and feasible self-persuasion intervention strategy to promote adolescent HPV vaccination in safety-net clinics,” also known as sell more vaccines.15
Nor was that the only marketing grant NIH gave to the university to aggressively market HPV vaccines.
The University of Texas El Paso received $422,716 from the NIH to do similar free marketing and “pilot test a future intervention to promote adoption of the HPV vaccine in the Latino community” while “considering cultural factors.”16
In 2013/2014, Yale University received $390,389 from the NIH to “identify and describe barriers to HPV vaccination completion among lower income racial and ethnic minorities” and “generate ideas for future interventions that will be culturally relevant and have the greatest potential for impact.”17
The National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC), overseen by the National Vaccine Program Office in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), takes their job of providing free marketing for the vaccine industry one step further-it recommends enlisting health care providers in the sales force.18
It cautions providers to not miss “clinical opportunities to administer HPV vaccination,” which are defined as visits to a provider in which at least one other recommended adolescent vaccination is received but not the HPV vaccine.
The NVAC also recommends “office strategies, such as reminder-recall systems and the distribution of information and educational materials from provider professional organizations” to sell the HPV vaccine to patients and suggests that pharmacists get involved.
CDC programs offer incentives/bonuses to “motivate providers to develop more effective immunization delivery systems and ultimately improve immunization coverage levels.”19
NIH Uses Taxpayer Funding to Keep Vaccine Makers Profitable
The NIH also gives money to drug companies making and marketing vaccines to simply improve their bottom line, government largesse that would be unthinkable in other industries.
In 2013, NIH bestowed almost $2 million on Advanced Bioscience Laboratories, Inc. to “facilitate the development and introduction of new vaccines” including product development, toxicology studies, technical and facility audits and regulatory support appropriate for submission to the FDA.20
If private industry keeps the profits, why should government fund vaccine development and marketing operations?
In 2012, Advanced Bioscience Laboratories received $1,052,178 from the NIH to develop “promising products when such products emerge from investigator-initiated research studies.”21
The same year, NIH gave $2,120,235 to California University San Diego at La Jolla to “discover, characterize, and support preclinical testing of new adjuvant candidates [for vaccines] based upon triggering of the human innate immune system.”22
Between 2009 and 2014, NIH also gave a cool million to Alexander Biodiscoveries, LLC for studies “directed at developing new drugs that can combat influenza virus” plus another one million dollars to Corixa Corporation to “discover, characterize, and support preclinical testing of new adjuvant candidates based upon triggering of the human innate immune system.”23 24
Generous grants were also given to Multimeric Biotherapeutics and other biotech companies to improve their profits and marketability of their vaccines on the public's dime.25
Finally, for years, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of NIH, has handed millions of dollars to the pharmaceutical industry to develop a vaccine to treat cocaine and meth addiction despite the contention of non-industry recovery experts that addiction is not just a physical disease but an emotional and spiritual one too and, thus, not very amenable to a vaccine or other physical treatment.26
Intervexion Therapeutics, for example, has received grants for several years in a row to develop “a methamphetamine conjugate vaccine.”
While the vaccine industry loves to present itself as “life saving,” addiction vaccines that target a defined population seem more like for-profit designer drugs than vaccines for preventing contagious diseases that affect the broader public.
Addiction vaccines also suggest a deep misunderstanding of the process of addiction itself, as most people with drug cravings who want to get high on meth, are unlikely to seek or even accept a vaccine that would “block or slow the rate at which METH enters the brain, [and] shield the user from METH's rewarding and toxic effects,” as the grant naively reads.27
In funding the marketing of vaccines, improving vaccine makers' bottom line and soliciting addiction vaccines, the NIH clearly is lavishing taxpayer dollars on an already very profitable vaccine industry.

Medical Doctors Opposed to Forced Vaccinations – Should Their Views be Silenced?
eBook – Available for immediate download.
One of the biggest myths being propagated in the compliant mainstream media today is that doctors are either pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, and that the anti-vaccine doctors are all “quacks.”
However, nothing could be further from the truth in the vaccine debate. Doctors are not unified at all on their positions regarding “the science” of vaccines, nor are they unified in the position of removing informed consent to a medical procedure like vaccines.
The two most extreme positions are those doctors who are 100% against vaccines and do not administer them at all, and those doctors that believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective for ALL people, ALL the time, by force if necessary.
Very few doctors fall into either of these two extremist positions, and yet it is the extreme pro-vaccine position that is presented by the U.S. Government and mainstream media as being the dominant position of the medical field.
In between these two extreme views, however, is where the vast majority of doctors practicing today would probably categorize their position. Many doctors who consider themselves “pro-vaccine,” for example, do not believe that every single vaccine is appropriate for every single individual.
Many doctors recommend a “delayed” vaccine schedule for some patients, and not always the recommended one-size-fits-all CDC childhood schedule. Other doctors choose to recommend vaccines based on the actual science and merit of each vaccine, recommending some, while determining that others are not worth the risk for children, such as the suspect seasonal flu shot.
These doctors who do not hold extreme positions would be opposed to government-mandated vaccinations and the removal of all parental exemptions.
In this eBook, I am going to summarize the many doctors today who do not take the most extremist pro-vaccine position, which is probably not held by very many doctors at all, in spite of what the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and the mainstream media would like the public to believe.

Dr. Andrew Moulden: Every Vaccine Produces Harm
eBook – Available for immediate download.
Canadian physician Dr. Andrew Moulden provided clear scientific evidence to prove that every dose of vaccine given to a child or an adult produces harm. The truth that he uncovered was rejected by the conventional medical system and the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, his warning and his message to America remains as a solid legacy of the man who stood up against big pharma and their program to vaccinate every person on the Earth.
Dr. Moulden died unexpectedly in November of 2013 at age 49.
Because of the strong opposition from big pharma concerning Dr. Moulden's research, we became concerned that the name of this brilliant researcher and his life's work had nearly been deleted from the internet. His reputation was being disparaged, and his message of warning and hope was being distorted and buried without a tombstone. This book summarizes his teaching and is a must-read for everyone who wants to learn the “other-side” of the vaccine debate that the mainstream media routinely censors.

U.S. Taxpayer Funds Used To Develop and Market Merck's Gardasil Vaccine Global Empire
How NIH Uses U.S. Tax Dollars to Secure Profits for Vaccine Developers and Manufacturers
by The Vaccine Reaction Staff
It is no secret that huge conflicts of interest exist between vaccine promoters and vaccine makers.
Pediatrician and vaccine developer Paul Offit, for example, who is one of the nation's leading promoters of mandatory use of government recommended vaccines, holds a $1.5 million research chair at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, funded in part by Merck.1
Julie Gerberding left her post as Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where she oversaw the creation of national vaccine policies, to head Merck vaccines.2
Former Texas governor Rick Perry recommended state-wide inoculation of all 11- and 12-year-old girls with Merck's Gardasil vaccine after his chief of staff left to work at Merck.34
Just as disturbing are the millions of dollars that officials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) dole out to academic institutions and vaccine manufacturers to improve vaccine technology, find new, lucrative markets and boost vaccine marketability-functions that guarantee the profitability of corporations, but do not always ensure the well being of taxpayers, the public and patients.
Once upon a time, before passage of the Bayh-Dole Act by Congress in 1980 and the push for lucrative “technology transfer” business arrangements between federal agencies and for-profit corporations, inventions developed with federal funding were owned by the U.S. Government and not industry.
Today, taxpayer-supported research to develop new drugs and vaccines is voraciously patented by universities and drug companies for outsized Wall Street profits when the research rightfully belongs to taxpayers.5
HPV Vaccine – Using U.S. Taxpayer Funding to Develop and Market the Vaccine Globally
Development of the human papillomavirus (HPV) Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines is a case in point.
The initial research was funded by the NIH, National Cancer Institute, University of Rochester, Georgetown University and the University of Queensland, which licensed them to Merck and GlaxoSmithKline.67
In 2015, Merck made $1.9 billion on its Gardasil franchise.8
Soon, aggressive domestic and overseas marketing of the expensive HPV vaccines began, even as the vaccines themselves got poor marks for both safety and effectiveness.
In 2006, consumer advocacy groups had protested the FDA's fast tracking of Gardasil vaccine to licensure, citing inadequate safety data.9
Reports of sudden collapse/fainting (syncope) and serious neurological and immune system problems after Gardasil vaccinations emerged immediately after the vaccine was licensed.10
For example, in just one year between Sept. 1, 2010 and Sept. 15, 2011, there were thousands of Gardasil vaccine reaction reports of seizures, paralysis, blindness, pancreatitis, speech problems, short term memory loss, Guillain-Barré Syndrome and 26 deaths filed in the FDA's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).1112
In 2016, judges in India's Supreme Court demanded answers after children died during a trial of the HPV vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix.13
This is how investigative reporter Jeanne Lenzer cast the problems with HPV vaccines in 2011:14
There are better ways to spend the billions of dollars currently being spent on HPV vaccines.
First, we already have a pretty terrific way to prevent most cervical cancer deaths, and it's called the Pap smear.
Since poor women are less likely to get Pap smears and more likely to die from cervical cancer, we could start by extending medical services to them.
Second, many oral cancers are caused by smoking, and men and women who smoke are more likely to die of oral and cervical cancer, so we could invest in smoking cessation efforts.
As HPV vaccine safety and efficacy problems persisted, the NIH acknowledged the vaccine was widely shunned by mothers of both boys and girls, adolescents and many in poor and ethnic communities.
But that did not stop the NIH from continuing its subsidy of the vaccine industry with tax dollars, this time helping with actual marketing.
In 2013, the NIH gave half a million dollars to the University of Texas SW Medical Center Dallas to try to “identify an optimal and feasible self-persuasion intervention strategy to promote adolescent HPV vaccination in safety-net clinics,” also known as sell more vaccines.15
Nor was that the only marketing grant NIH gave to the university to aggressively market HPV vaccines.
The University of Texas El Paso received $422,716 from the NIH to do similar free marketing and “pilot test a future intervention to promote adoption of the HPV vaccine in the Latino community” while “considering cultural factors.”16
In 2013/2014, Yale University received $390,389 from the NIH to “identify and describe barriers to HPV vaccination completion among lower income racial and ethnic minorities” and “generate ideas for future interventions that will be culturally relevant and have the greatest potential for impact.”17
The National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC), overseen by the National Vaccine Program Office in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), takes their job of providing free marketing for the vaccine industry one step further-it recommends enlisting health care providers in the sales force.18
It cautions providers to not miss “clinical opportunities to administer HPV vaccination,” which are defined as visits to a provider in which at least one other recommended adolescent vaccination is received but not the HPV vaccine.
The NVAC also recommends “office strategies, such as reminder-recall systems and the distribution of information and educational materials from provider professional organizations” to sell the HPV vaccine to patients and suggests that pharmacists get involved.
CDC programs offer incentives/bonuses to “motivate providers to develop more effective immunization delivery systems and ultimately improve immunization coverage levels.”19
NIH Uses Taxpayer Funding to Keep Vaccine Makers Profitable
The NIH also gives money to drug companies making and marketing vaccines to simply improve their bottom line, government largesse that would be unthinkable in other industries.
In 2013, NIH bestowed almost $2 million on Advanced Bioscience Laboratories, Inc. to “facilitate the development and introduction of new vaccines” including product development, toxicology studies, technical and facility audits and regulatory support appropriate for submission to the FDA.20
If private industry keeps the profits, why should government fund vaccine development and marketing operations?
In 2012, Advanced Bioscience Laboratories received $1,052,178 from the NIH to develop “promising products when such products emerge from investigator-initiated research studies.”21
The same year, NIH gave $2,120,235 to California University San Diego at La Jolla to “discover, characterize, and support preclinical testing of new adjuvant candidates [for vaccines] based upon triggering of the human innate immune system.”22
Between 2009 and 2014, NIH also gave a cool million to Alexander Biodiscoveries, LLC for studies “directed at developing new drugs that can combat influenza virus” plus another one million dollars to Corixa Corporation to “discover, characterize, and support preclinical testing of new adjuvant candidates based upon triggering of the human innate immune system.”2324
Generous grants were also given to Multimeric Biotherapeutics and other biotech companies to improve their profits and marketability of their vaccines on the public's dime.25
Finally, for years, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of NIH, has handed millions of dollars to the pharmaceutical industry to develop a vaccine to treat cocaine and meth addiction despite the contention of non-industry recovery experts that addiction is not just a physical disease but an emotional and spiritual one too and, thus, not very amenable to a vaccine or other physical treatment.26
Intervexion Therapeutics, for example, has received grants for several years in a row to develop “a methamphetamine conjugate vaccine.”
While the vaccine industry loves to present itself as “life saving,” addiction vaccines that target a defined population seem more like for-profit designer drugs than vaccines for preventing contagious diseases that affect the broader public.
Addiction vaccines also suggest a deep misunderstanding of the process of addiction itself, as most people with drug cravings who want to get high on meth, are unlikely to seek or even accept a vaccine that would “block or slow the rate at which METH enters the brain, [and] shield the user from METH's rewarding and toxic effects,” as the grant naively reads.27
In funding the marketing of vaccines, improving vaccine makers' bottom line and soliciting addiction vaccines, the NIH clearly is lavishing taxpayer dollars on an already very profitable vaccine industry.

Medical Doctors Opposed to Forced Vaccinations – Should Their Views be Silenced?
eBook – Available for immediate download.
One of the biggest myths being propagated in the compliant mainstream media today is that doctors are either pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, and that the anti-vaccine doctors are all “quacks.”
However, nothing could be further from the truth in the vaccine debate. Doctors are not unified at all on their positions regarding “the science” of vaccines, nor are they unified in the position of removing informed consent to a medical procedure like vaccines.
The two most extreme positions are those doctors who are 100% against vaccines and do not administer them at all, and those doctors that believe that ALL vaccines are safe and effective for ALL people, ALL the time, by force if necessary.
Very few doctors fall into either of these two extremist positions, and yet it is the extreme pro-vaccine position that is presented by the U.S. Government and mainstream media as being the dominant position of the medical field.
In between these two extreme views, however, is where the vast majority of doctors practicing today would probably categorize their position. Many doctors who consider themselves “pro-vaccine,” for example, do not believe that every single vaccine is appropriate for every single individual.
Many doctors recommend a “delayed” vaccine schedule for some patients, and not always the recommended one-size-fits-all CDC childhood schedule. Other doctors choose to recommend vaccines based on the actual science and merit of each vaccine, recommending some, while determining that others are not worth the risk for children, such as the suspect seasonal flu shot.
These doctors who do not hold extreme positions would be opposed to government-mandated vaccinations and the removal of all parental exemptions.
In this eBook, I am going to summarize the many doctors today who do not take the most extremist pro-vaccine position, which is probably not held by very many doctors at all, in spite of what the pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and the mainstream media would like the public to believe.

Dr. Andrew Moulden: Every Vaccine Produces Harm
eBook – Available for immediate download.
Canadian physician Dr. Andrew Moulden provided clear scientific evidence to prove that every dose of vaccine given to a child or an adult produces harm. The truth that he uncovered was rejected by the conventional medical system and the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, his warning and his message to America remains as a solid legacy of the man who stood up against big pharma and their program to vaccinate every person on the Earth.
Dr. Moulden died unexpectedly in November of 2013 at age 49.
Because of the strong opposition from big pharma concerning Dr. Moulden's research, we became concerned that the name of this brilliant researcher and his life's work had nearly been deleted from the internet. His reputation was being disparaged, and his message of warning and hope was being distorted and buried without a tombstone. This book summarizes his teaching and is a must-read for everyone who wants to learn the “other-side” of the vaccine debate that the mainstream media routinely censors.

Health insurance question?
"Health insurance question?
I am in the process of getting my own health insurance (can't be a dependent anymore) and I've been searching all morning for a plan that covers Medical, Dental, and Vision all in one. I can't seem to find any plans that offer that but I definitely need all of them. Is there anyone out there who actually has such a plan (preferably for an individual) or know where I can find information about plans that offer ALL 3 of these coverages? Please don't tell me to just search the internet because I have done that all morning and have even filled out forms for quotes and I am not getting the results I have been looking for. Thank you!

So i got a ticket on july 17th (of this year) and the deadline to pay, contest, or do traffic school for it was september 17th, two days ago. i checked yesterday for the update because i thought i had a few more days and it said i can extend the ticket (to pay or to contest or to attend traffic school) to november 16th. i chose that and i will eventually go to traffic school but my question is, is point already on my record and will it affect my insurance rates? My friend was saying no because i extended the date and by doing so i havent plead guilty to the ticket (by paying it or attending traffic school for it) so right now because i have the date to fix the ticket extended by two months, it will not show up on my license or my insurance.

Who's Car Insurance Would Handle the Accident?
My sister has been driving my mother's car (Loan, registration, insurance in my mother's name) Occasionally she allows her boyfriend to drive the car, although my mother has stated on numerous occasions that she does not want him driving that car. He was in an accident on Friday and claims the car is totaled. He claims that he called the police and filed a report, it can be picked up on Tuesday. He also claims that his insurance is covering the accident. My problem is, the car is insured in my mother's name, so he is not allowed to do this, correct? Also, even though my mother was not involved in the accident, can she still call the police and get a copy of the report? After all, the car is in her name. Please enlighten me, I'm trying to figure this all out.""

Where do you normally store your car insurance?
The dilemma: I've always wondered where one would have to store his car insurance and automobile registration in. Say you get into a car accident or a roadblock, you'd have to provide proof that the car that you're in is insured and belongs to you. However, putting your important documents in the glove compartment or even tucked away in the back trunk is always prone to break-ins. So the question is would it be better to keep it in the car or keep it the house (or bank, if you're that paranoid)?""

Does full coverage car insurance cover a car that just dies?
I have full coverage car insurance on my car (for legal/employment reasons), comprehensive, collision, PPI, theft, vandalism, rental, etc. Yeah, its an 99 Accord. What I never asked, and now want to know, is if it just dies (cus its about that time that if it did I wouldnt be surprised) will I get the value of the car? I know I do get its value if it is stolen or totaled or vandalized, but does that apply to car death? Pretty sure if it stopped working the cost to fix it would be more than the car is valued at, does that count as totaling? I am getting to that point where the car may be worth more to me stolen or wrecked. I hate dealerships otherwise I might consider a trade-in, but I don't know why anyone would buy it??? I would feel dishonest selling to anyone else, poor saps. I do better off finding someone who is selling a fixer upper. (I got this car for 500 bucks and I put 70,000 miles on it, not too shabby.) I know a guy who can fix up cars real cheap, but when its time, sometimes there is nothing you can do. The car is Kelly Blue Booked between 2900-4500, so would I get a decent price from insurance if I let it die under full coverage?""

Why does car insurance rates increase if you have a lapse in coverage?
For example, lets say I have car insurance and pay it on a timely matter and then all of a sudden I move to city where there is a lot of public transportation and my car breaks down. So, instead of worrying about my car I utilize the bus system as I cannot afford to have my car fixed, in turn I cancel my car insurance. Hypothetically lets say a couple months down the road I have a change of heart and am able to afford the repairs for my car. So now my car is up and running etc etc. Why is it that now when I sign up for insurance again my rates will be higher. My situation is that I have a vehicle but it is a lot older and it is broken down right now. It is going to be a few months before I can get it fixed. So, I thought of canceling my insurance bc I was wondering why should I pay insurance for something I am not driving. I, then, told my agent that once i got it fixed i would add the insurance back, he then told me what the consequences of my actions would be. Why do my rates go higher just bc I get rid of the insurance? It's not like I am doing anything illegal. I would not be driving the car bc it is broke down.""

hey all, I am a 17 year old male, live in cumbria. i realise this is a c rated insurance post code, i understand that. what i do not understand is why when i put in qoutes for the exact same car, exact same details all bar the name, my insurance skyrockets. i get qoutes of 3200 on a corsa 1.0 and the like (small, 1.2 or less cars) whereas friends, even 1 of which lives 5 doors away from me, get qoutes of about 2400. why is this? i understand the post code part, but the thing is all my friends being qouted live in the same area, in the same town, same estate in fact, our first four letters of our postcodes are the same, i thought this was what determined the post code factor. im currently a student, ive put down i have held my license for 4 months, i am the registered owner and keeper of the car, i am the policy holder, even added a parent with 30+ years experience on (which by the way only saved me 100) and i got 3200. my friend on the same street got 2400. why is this? also, can anyone recommend a cheap insurance company, as a young driver? eg. under 19 really, because i know car insurance has almost doubled in like 3 years. no wonder people are illegaly driving with this daylight robbery scam called insurance. thanks""

Can my apartment management include premiums of renters insurance on my rent ?
The complex I live in requires that each tenant have renters insurance because the management suffered losses from damages as a result of the tenants' negligence.

Co-operative insurance 4645 (Full Comp) Direct line Over 3000(Full Comp) (they wouldn't give an accurate result, I'd have to be transferred onto another dept.) Quinn Direct 6000 (Third party, Fire & Theft only, i was then informed that their premiums where increased) All in my own name and not under any parents, however it seems like the best option at the moment. I do know about a few companies that specialise in young driver insurance, one called Young Marmalade and another called i-Kube. Both are cheaper, but there are catches to policies, i-Kube requires you to have a GPS tracker fitted, if you drive passed 11PM at night a 100 Penalty is incurred, and for each night you drive past said time. with young marmalade you need to have the pass plus scheme. I also know that premiums are subject to a post code area rating. (CH 62) so if anyone could tell me where cheap insurance for this type of car is I would be great-full.""

This is God, this is God, this is God, this is God, and Loraine Laney has received a personal contact from 50 Cent. He wrote “Waddup Loraine,” on Facebook, Messenger. This is God and I say that Loraine Laney and 50 Cent are perfect partners, perfect partners, and that’s what I say. And this is why. Loraine Laney has the lowest form of jealousy known to humanity. It is an eternal source of frustration to her partners in the past. She will love 50 Cent because he loves a non jealous person. Loraine Laney feels lucky not to be very jealous, because she sees that it is a burden for many. But this is how she gets around it. She self actualizes at every opportunity. “How does she do this?” many ask. “How does she avoid being jealous of a slut like 50 Cent? How does she?” And this is how. “She’s a slut, too,” many say, “but that doesn’t deter many. She has done the math on female promiscuity and she has concluded that men always wish to be ahead sexually, so she had started looking for a more promiscuous partner, because, as a prostitute, her numbers were climbing, and she was finding herself at a deficit around certain men, who weren’t keeping up, and the deficit is that they feel insecure and will not provide a relationship.
‘I am God and I say the following is true: Loraine Laney will work as a prostitute for 50 Cent, yes, she will, yes, she will, and he won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t, have it any other way, he won’t, Loraine, he won’t, Loraine, he won’t, Loraine. 50 Cent is thoroughly a pimp. He enjoys it. He gets off on it. He enjoys going last after a client, because he knows he’s better. 50 Cent, on the other hand, is very jealous, and this is how he handles it. He pimps the woman at every turn, whenever he feels jealous, she has to have sex, and that is what he does. And people wonder how that works and this is how it works, because you get a better sense of your competition.’
‘What if it’s worse?’ everyone asks.
‘”Everyone,”‘ says God, ‘means everyone wants to know how a pimp feels less jealous by pimping. What if he’s not high enough?’
‘Then the woman comes crawling back, crying.’
‘Oh, I see,’ says everyone. ‘How is that a boon to a man’s self esteem? She couldn’t handle it. It doesn’t mean she didn’t like it, or even mean that she didn’t like it better.’
‘This is how it works though,’ says God. ‘This is how it works though. This is how it works though. And though 50 Cent is high, I have planned, joking 50, Loraine Laney will never fall more in love than she is with 50 Cent, never. And though 50 Cent may, joking, Loraine. He may, though. He needs a black woman all the time. Joking again, Loraine. I’m kidding. These two are so in love it’s absolutely ridiculous.’
‘How does she avoid jealousy? Give us an example of self actualization, Loraine.’
‘I don’t know.’
‘She just does it. Once, when she was jealous of her boyfriend’s success in school, she went back to school. It is not always sexual with anyone. That is why the function of love was such an interesting piece of the book. The function of love describes every relationship, from a newfound interest to the oldest marriage, Loraine. It does. You really hit the nail on the head with that. You did. Yes, you did. You hit the proverbial nail right on the head, and therapists everywhere were shaking their heads at how a poor, dumb, stupid, whore, managed to coalesce the information from a few sessions of therapy. They couldn’t believe it. They knew it. But, when they saw the diagram, they were so impressed that they started to research, they wanted to know who the writer was, particularly since there were no credentials. And people had fired it to the winds and it got lost who wrote it, because there was no connection, official, to the website. The name could be googled, but people almost, almost, almost, Loraine, almost, Loraine, refused to believe that the writer was a poor, ugly, old, hooker. They couldn’t believe it, Loraine. They couldn’t. So lore went that someone in Sweden had probably written it, at that college, and you had assumed her name, and gone after the sex market. That was the lore. That was it, Loraine. I shit you not. And guess what? Do you know your old therapist? Your favorite psychologist?’
‘Yes, God.’
‘[ ] [ ]?’
‘Yes.’
‘She knew, despite the nose job, your face, and she began to tell people that you were a patient of hers. People in the business of mental health. And guess who heard it? That’s right, Loraine, your psychiatrist, [ ] [ ], heard it, and realized that the book on his email, which he thought would be drivel, drivel, Loraine, that’s what he thought, was the book itself, sent to him, specifically, and, he realized, almost no one else, that he could determine, even the original therapist didn’t make the cut.’
‘It was an oversight.’
‘Oh, I see.’
‘I wanted to send her my journals, but it seemed like bragging, where this this book shed light on things I wanted shared through therapy and medical circles.’
‘Why?’ says Doctor Anderson. ‘Who would use it and why?’
‘To enlighten women to their suffering. To soothe men.’
‘Oh, I see.’
‘Have you used it?’
‘No, Loraine. There is nothing there you can point to in therapy. Joking, Loraine. Joking, Loraine. Joking, Loraine. How would you put it into words?’
‘I guess penis envy is too inflammatory.’
‘I guess.’
‘It’s lost work though. And it figures heavily in female self actualization.’
‘How so?’
‘Because numbers trump penis envy.’
‘How is that?’
‘I guess because numbers illuminate women essential desirability, they validate our sexual superiority. The numbers put women in touch with eroticism which is absent for most with a lone man.’
‘Do you think eroticism trumps everything? ie. Why are they, then satisfied when the man has more?’
‘Men get more by different means.’
‘Oh, I see. They may have to pay. They may have to buy dinner. The numbers, themselves, do not prove their desirability.’
‘No,’ says 50 Cent. ‘That’s why, that it precisely why men choose not to pay, Loraine, they think they should get laid as women do, and when they don’t, they are bitter. And they are a lost crowd, those men, we see them among whites, the superciliousness around black men, because they think that we get oh, so much more pussy than they do. So they attempt to judge us as a way to rise above us.’
‘Do you think women lead the numbers?’
‘No, it depends on the relationship, and on the respective orientations and libidos.’
‘Why?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Why do, oh, I see. I thought you were saying that women needed more numbers.’
‘No, absolutely not. That creates a monster.’
‘A jealous monster.’
‘Yes.’
‘Say it.’
‘I would say that the rampant numbers getting some women have engaged in, in order to assuage jealousy, results in so much victimhood, that it gives rise to a profound sense of penis envy.’
‘Which is it, though?’
‘With God as my advisor, I’m going assume that it’s a certain number and that’s it.’
‘And she’s right again. She knows this now. The arrangements that we see currently, and even your [ ] recently made this mistake, Loraine, he is a gang bang boy, and he is with a marrying woman. He will never have the relationship that he desires, now. And that’s it. And that’s it. And that’s it.’
‘Was [ ] afraid of the gay relationships?’
‘That’s right, Loraine. It freaked him right the fuck out, and that was it. And you have another [ ], who is not freaked out, but is also in the wrong relationship. And they are, Loraine, they are. And you will be in the right relationship, if you always listen to me. Don’t call [ ] anymore, Loraine. He thinks he’s getting around you by demonstrating the same abandonment as drove you crazy in the relationship. He does, Loraine. He does, Loraine. He really, really, does, Loraine. He does.
‘When you wrote the function of love diagram, you were lit, Loraine, you don’t remember, but you were lit, l was so proud of you, I thought I would die, and I’m God, I don’t, ever, die. I never die. And I’m God. And I can save everyone. I can save all. But it’s a wholesale solution. It’s not selfish. When you think you are being selfish with all these men, there are women everywhere who wonder if you are out of your everloving mind. They think the men will take advantage of you all the time, and you will never have a happy, peaceful, moment, but you will, but you will, but you will. But, it’s not selfish to have so many men. They want you. And you want them. And somehow she knew this, 50 Cent. She realized, with the bright eyes of men around her, that they wanted to share women, a woman, she realized this, and ever after, she never put up with any bullshit story again.’
‘What bullshit story?’
‘That they were doing it for the woman and thus, she was the slut who was asking for it. Men don’t have sex for women, they have sex for themselves, and she also realized this.’
‘Because men are selfish.’
‘She doesn’t find men overly selfish, she doesn’t. You will get more licking out of a man any day, Loraine, any day, Loraine, any day, Loraine, and she knows this, she knows this, she knows this, because she didn’t date women with men, and women will show off for men, she dated them alone.’
‘Why did she do that? Because she was ugly? And she thought she should be a bisexual or something?’
‘She wanted women, that’s all, 50. Loraine Laney has never been ugly. She needed to have her nose fixed. But she always had pretty eyes, and nice lips and a generally nice face, but she wasn’t pretty and her nose was tortured into an ugly mess. That woman on the bus, Loraine, hers was bad already and made worse by her mother, who broke it repeatedly. And, she listened to me and she had it fixed, yes, she did, and it was fucking painful, worse than yours, because she had, like [ ] [ ], actual bone. And your own [ ], also, all real, all bone. And she is so pretty now. She met her [ ] first, and decided to be as pretty as possible, so she just did it. Loraine read a book about a woman who was objective about her own beauty. And, though the character was, in face, a beauty, it helped her get ahead as a beauty. And Loraine needed to know that objectivity is possible about one’s own looks, because her [ ] had consistently told her that there was nothing wrong with her nose. Even though it wasn’t true. And they knew it. Loraine is still not beautiful, 50, and I know you’ve had your share of beautiful women, and even beautiful prostitutes, who would have worked for you a little bit, and done some of the things that you asked them to do sexually.’
‘Like have line ups?’
‘Like have line ups.’
‘Why do you put me with an unbeautiful woman? Do you think I’m not pretty, God?’
‘No, I think you’re a solid eight. You’re not that much prettier than an eight, 50 Cent. You’re not. Spencer is a ten. Even your beloved Lloyd is a ten.’
‘Why is he a ten and I’m not?’
‘He just is.’
‘Why does he love me?’
‘What you lack in beauty, you make up for in dominance and the dominance, lucky you, shows in your visage. You have a dominant face. You’re lucky.’
‘Why am I lucky? Why am I lucky to look dominant and Loraine’s not lucky to be less jealous? That’s weird.’
‘Jealousy, and Loraine has always done this, 50 Cent, when she was going out with [ ], she did drugs. And that’s how she self actualized. She did. Like it or lump it, drugs self actualize people.’
‘Why?’
‘Loraine has this one.’
‘Is it a salve for misery in solitude? A necessary solitude.’
‘That’s right, Loraine. That’s right, Loraine. That’s right, Loraine. What Loraine does is not what everyone does, some cheat, and she has, but it’s not her favored solution. Her favored solution is to stay alone. And people wonder why she does this, but it is actually very annoying for people.’
‘Why?’ says 50 Cent.
‘She has this, too.’
‘Because if you are seen to be moving on, then the are absolved of blame in your suffering.’
‘She’s right, again.’
‘But she drank too much.’
‘She used too much too. But, it alienated her [ ] to such an extent that she eventually offloaded bad blood.’
‘Why was he so bad? Why wasn’t she bad? For all her whoring?’ asks someone. ‘He was almost a virgin compared to her.’
‘It’s not all about virginity. It’s about, and this is what we’re talking about, achieving the level of self actualization that allows us to be kind to others.’
‘Is that why she became a prostitute?’
‘Loraine Laney had enough numbers at an early age. She realized, at some level, that she was no longer jealous of men, and, she doesn’t remember, you have to rely on me, her memory is terrible and most people do not remember emotional states perfectly. Sometimes there’s a phrase. Read that one, Loraine. It was in an early, unpublished journal.’
‘”Why does my still small voice have to be saying, be a prostitute?”’
‘What’s the still small voice?’
‘Is it from mysticism, Pat?’
‘I’m Patrick Crean in heaven and “still small voice” is from mysticism, it wasn’t Julian of Norwich, Loraine, or anyone that you would know, but it resonated and became part of speech in religion. It describes, the tiny voice in the back of one’s mind. It is always writable. Most people don’t want to write it. And most writers have a pile of crap that they throw out. Yes, they do. And Loraine Laney now writes a blog, with the help of God, with immense help from God, in fact, it is arguable, that she doesn’t write at all without God. It is, Loraine.’
‘Oh, I know. I feel like a baby.’
‘No time to wait for the muse.’
‘What does that mean now?’
‘I’m kidding, Loraine.’
‘I see.’
‘This is God, and this is what it is, Loraine, you and 50 Cent are so perfectly compatible, that no one will ever get between you, no one, not a man in the family will hold a candle to 50′s place in your heart. People say Loraine Laney is an incorrigible slut and she can’t live without lots of men. That’s what they say. But they don’t realize, that you have lived your entire life alone. Some married women are around more men than you are, Loraine. Your one by one little sessions do not satisfy either your sexual needs, or your social needs. Social needs--’
‘Let’s talk about that for a second,’ says 50 Cent. ‘The sex I get, I do, because we’re weird, but why does she get to listen to the men talking? It bugged me too that she stood outside the circle at her [ ]’s party and listened to the men talking, because I was jealous. I was jealous that she was listening to them and not to me and my Lloyd and my friends. Why?’
‘Why, what? You just answered your own question. Because you need your little sex object to have a social place in your life. That’s what you need. That’s what gang bang boys need. And it’s not replete. Loraine Laney has talked many, many, many, times, about being a low energy person. And she is, 50 Cent. You, you, you, you, you, 50 Cent, will not fucking believe how often she bows out.’
‘You won’t,’ says [ ].
‘Why? When she loves it so much? Because I don’t want her there all the time, kidding, Loraine. I don’t care. Just don’t talk too much.’
‘She won’t. She knows when she’s beat. and she loves it. So leave her. Joking, 50 Cent. Loraine Laney is a very good friend, and an excellent partner, she will not corral you, or intimidate--’
‘Intimidate??’
‘--intimidate your friends. Women can do that. One misplaced look and men will run. She will never do that.’
‘They were leaving, Loraine. It wasn’t your fault. They just wanted to get a look at [ ]’s whore.’
‘Oh, I see.’
‘You don’t care?’
‘About what?’
‘That?’
‘Well, no. There’s a disparity between the reality and what the boyfriend is saying, though, which gives rise to tremendous curiosity.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘You said I was a whore and I wasn’t working as a whore. I was a hand job girl.’
‘What does that mean?’
‘Word of mouth. Who is the liar? And they want to see for themselves.’
‘What did [ ] do?’
‘He said I was a hand job girl and I was a whore.’
‘Oh, I see. So who came to look?’
‘The son’s friends, the son of a couple he knew for years, and years.’
‘Oh, I see. They paraded through.’
‘Yeah.’
‘Did he hate it?’
‘Yes, I hated it. Yes, I did. And I knew it was, in some way, my fault for lying, because they heard otherwise, I found out later.’
‘Oh, bummer.’
‘Fuck you, Loraine.’
‘Did they think you were in the dark?’
‘No, they knew I lied and started looking at me funny, Loraine. You ruined a lot of things. You know the man who died?’
‘Yeah.’
‘He mentioned you often, as someone he liked and wanted to get to know better.’
‘Oh, thank you. Even after we broke up?’
‘Not then. I knew I should pimp but I wasn’t up to it. Do you blame me?’
‘I don’t. I don’t blame you for anything, except the fifty fifty.’
‘Why not?’
‘It’s not an arrangement that would ever work, but I needed God to confirm that. I’m tired of being the busy one.’
‘That’s why you wanted me to sleep with [ ]?’
‘Well, yeah.’
‘I thought you were jealous, but you wanted that for me, exclusively, and I see that now. That’s it.’
‘This is Loraine Laney, 50 Cent. She is the best bitch you will ever know. And I know you don’t believe me, but it’s true.’
‘Why, though? So she’s not jealous, congratulations. I am.’
‘No, she is. Don’t be silly. It’s just her parameters are wide enough for someone like you.’
‘Oh, funny, God. What’s she going to, because all women do, stop me from doing, twenty girl lineups or something? Because I really like my twenty girl line ups. I like them so much, that I swear, I swore to myself, and I know it was foolish, but I thought I might find someone who wouldn’t mind them, as long as I cleaned up and was safe as could be.’
‘You’re crazy, 50 Cent,’ says God. ‘There is one woman in the entire world--’
‘If there’s one, why aren’t there two?’
‘You are aware, that you have furnished Loraine Laney with her heart’s desire, are you not?’
‘I keep forgetting that.’
‘That’s right, 50 Cent, that’s right. That’s right, 50 Cent, that’s right. She will self actualize as necessary.’
‘So she will go out to bars and get laid and stuff?’
‘What did I just say? She will stay home and she will cocoon and you will not see her until she is happy again. And that’s what she does.’
‘Why? I don’t do that, I go out with friends. I do stuff.’
‘Loraine is highly moral with friends, to the extent heretofore undiscovered by me, God, because she is so low energy, she will not rise to friendship to overcome the loss of a lover. Friends take a lot of energy and she tends to combine friendship and love.’
‘What the hell? How is that moral?’
‘Wouldn’t you say that people use friends all the time, unless they are happy????’
‘I would, Loraine.’
‘Well, because I can’t maintain the friendship once I sort out my loves--’
‘Why?’
‘No energy.’
‘Why? Why are you like that? When did that start?’
‘I think it’s common in women. That’s why you lose them when they have to work.’
‘Oh, I see. Is this true, God. Women are lazy?’
‘Women are not any lazier than men, 50 Cent, but their activities, for good women, are lower intensity than men’s. Her [ ] would knit, because she couldn’t walk alongside her husband anymore. And she realized that her husband, and this gave rise to a seven year depression, 50 Cent, and she will recognize herself, and people will know the story, because they heard it, and Loraine Laney knew it was significant right away, because she had been used by friends to the same ends. He liked attention, and she didn’t. He liked her along because he saw her as providing attention. When she lost energy for it, as women age a little, Loraine was twenty five when she started to realize she was overextended, he gave her up so easily, because attention was the only goal, not coupledom.’
‘Oh, I see. How can I fuck this up? I don’t want to fuck it up. I’m not like her.’
‘She knows that. You wanted a quiet wife and that is what you are getting, 50 Cent.’
‘Why did he want a quiet wife?’
‘He just did, Loraine. That’s what he needs, a listening, which you are, peaceful, which you are, loving, which you are, wifey, and that’s what he will have, if he pays attention to me, and me alone. That’s what he’ll have.’
‘Why does she think she’s not good enough for me, physically, sexually?’
‘What do you mean? She’s very confident.’
‘No, she’s not. Oh, yeah. She is confident. She’s just not pretty enough, and that’s all it is, isn’t it?’
‘Yes, 50 Cent.’
‘I’m going to fix her up a bit, and my friends, such as they are, joking, they were, because they never thought I would actually fall for a fan, but Loraine is no artist, but she’s a force of her own, which I never thought she could be, I never thought, besides music, that a woman could be a force on her own. Why is she?’
‘Loraine Laney is a force, 50 Cent, and nobody seems to know why,’ says God. ‘This is what it is, 50 Cent, Loraine Laney was a child prostitute, yes, she was, alongside, and it was not a prostitution ring but simply a mortgage poor neighbourhood where some fathers pimped their daughters, and word got around. Loraine Laney’s [ ], acting on misinformation from her [ ]--’
‘Which was? Because I can’t believe this. It is pussy.’
‘It was a bit pussy, because she was young.’
‘And wet.’
‘No, because she was so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, soft, 50 Cent. She was a pushover from the get go. She wrote in the book that women should not be overexposed to men, and that means men of all ages, and her first sexual encounter, such as it is, involved kissing a five year old boy’s asshole, when she was five years of age. That’s what it was, 50 Cent. That’s all it was. And she just did it, because he said to. And that’s it. But her [ ] went to her [ ], some year or so later, when they were in school in a new neighbourhood, and [ ] said that, and I quote, “She is sucking men’s assholes in the playground.” Her [ ] was terrified. And [ ] made up [ ] mind to control her. And this is what he did. He was not stupid, he was misinformed. Her [ ] was a piece of shit, 50 Cent.’
‘But [ ]’s reading this. We have to know her. She’s an innocent woman. Loraine Laney is doing her [ ]. And she’s doing [ ] hard. And she’s destroying [ ] life, in Vancouver, because she doesn’t know. She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know anything.’
‘You’re right. She does as I tell her.’
‘But she’s been wrong. And she’s probably wrong about me. Why am I so perfect? There must be hundreds, thousands of slutty men she could hook up with who will take care of her, and see some women on the side.’
‘She wants you. I’m kidding, 50.’
‘How did she know you were kidding?’
‘Who cares what I want, sort of thing.’
‘I see. So you don’t think you have a right to me because we’re so similar?’
‘I never thought anything of the sort.’
‘You didn’t believe you could have anything you wanted in life if you were willing to work hard enough for it?’
‘No. I have a cynical [ ], he would never permit such mental folly.’
‘You’re funny, Loraine.’
‘Honestly, I just thought you were probably as lonely as me, because of your slutting, and I thought I had, since you like women so much, which gives rise to the notion of a breadth of desires, as much chance as any of them.’
‘Oh, I see. You’ve said that before, but it doesn’t make sense. Why would you think that, Loraine?’
‘I think I have a fairly healthy ego.’
‘She does, 50 Cent. She does. And she immediately fell for you, physically, and Loraine does not put enough stock in physical appearance, that is why she has nearest man syndrome. If someone is nice to her, she thinks that’s enough. She’s learned, is why. She wrote the book. Selfishness is paramount in love.’
‘Why, though? Why does she get me? I’m great.’
‘She’s great, too, 50.’
‘I see ‘Why is she so great?’
‘Let’s go through her list of accomplishments, and she will enjoy this too. Go pee, Loraine.
‘This is Loraine Laney’s list of accomplishments, and we’ll do it in list form, Loraine, so go ahead:
Stopped the industrial belt sander--’
‘How did she do that, though. She was a whore. Why did she get a construction salute, why? They didn’t know she was a baby prostitute.’
‘That’s true, 50. This is why. They saw that she never once retaliated to the constant stone throwing of her stalker [ ] [ ].’
‘Why did she even have a stalker?’
‘She’s had several. Many women have.’
‘But why is she ghetto?’
‘She’s ghetto?’
‘She’s ghetto because she was raised in a poor neighbourhood that was replete with crime. Yes, it was. The Greeks, Loraine, gangsters all, the Irish, fighters, the Italians, mafia, the cops, crooked, she was walking around these people like a little idiot from a very young age, 50 Cent. It was a different time, and she was allowed to play outside alone. She ran in the rain. She played in the sprinkler.’
‘That’s in the yard.’
‘Her clients were gangsters, 50.’
‘But she doesn’t remember, though. Why is she so cool. I have yet to see street cred on this girl. She doesn't have it. What street cred?’
‘She doesn’t have street cred? How did she get so many salutes, then?’
‘What’s street cred, then? I thought it was dealing and prostituting.’
‘She did it all. She dealt, a bit, she prostituted, she worked in parlours, she worked in outcalls, she was left on the street one night and said nothing, that’s street cred.’
‘Why did she say nothing. Some girls get all mad when the driver is late. And they hate them for it.’
‘Her pimp loved her. She stole clients. She fucked him, yes, he paid her two hundred dollars, he was good, 50 Cent. She lied and stole, that’s what she did.’
‘Why?’
‘She thought she could have her own business, and she was right. She had to come up through the ranks, 50 Cent, like everyone, you learn, you situate, and you’re better off. She’s a criminal, 50 Cent. She is. She even got arrested, which brings us to your industrial belt sander. She is so unselfish that she always thinks of other people. And, in this respect, she gained the support of construction workers, because--’
‘That was later.’
‘Let’s go back, then. She got the construction salute because she was true to her business, word had got around that she always charged fairly--’
‘She overcharged.’
‘There’s nothing wrong with overcharging, it’s foolish, but it’s not wrong, or immoral in any way, it’s the lying that’s bad, and she got a reputation for doing exactly as she said she would do. And that included not providing full service to anyone.’
‘She did though.’
‘She had two, and, if she was asked, she would confess it. Always, 50 Cent. Loraine Laney is you, she is you, she feels the niggle of guilt as you do, and, I feel, as God, that neither of you will ever let the other down in this regard. Never.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘She will always confess when she feels guilty.’
‘Why does she feel guilty?’
‘Well, say, Floyd Mayweather were to come on her.’
‘There’ll be none of that.’
‘Why do you think that? It’s safe.’
‘It’s not that safe.’
‘I know, 50, I’m teasing you. She even got a reputation for using gloves and still letting a guy come on her, he was related to construction, Loraine.’
‘Oh, I see.’
‘Because she liked it. He loved her. Already. For nothing more than a come on the tits, Loraine. He was a fan, that guy, as good looking as he was.’
‘Did she see him later? Did she fuck him for free?’
‘She never fucked for years, 50 Cent. This is what I’m trying to tell you, Loraine Laney has had the most boring life imaginable. Boring. Boring. Boring. Because she saw the writing on the wall of victimhood, that was victimhood, I should say. She was astute and actually brilliant about that book. Brilliant, 50 Cent. So stop acting as though she’s done nothing. She hasn’t done nothing. Brilliant, 50 Cent.’
‘Why brilliant. I thought Freud thought of it.’
‘He did. And so did his wife. And his work was panned by many. Loraine Laney’s work was never panned by anyone. It is unpannable.’
‘That’s ridiculous. People could say women are equal, they just are oppressed. She’s saying their tired or lazy or inept, and that’s why they haven’t made it.’
‘That’s what she says.’
‘How is that brilliant?’
‘Because it was true. And the evidence is in the sex industry. Men do not want to turn to sex workers to the extent that they do, but the male sex right, also, was very real, and they had to. And that’s it. And that’s it. I can’t believe, Loraine, he lied, he still hasn’t read your book. He’s scared. He’s scared that you will have some brilliant reason not to date a homosexual. He thinks Bros Before Hos means that men shouldn’t love men at all, not that they should place a woman’s needs ahead of a man’s needs, but that there is something wrong with loving men. Loraine does not do that. She doesn’t.’
‘Why do I think she will?’
‘You’re paranoid,’ says God.
‘How could you not read my book? Did you read my poems, all about you???’
‘Yes, Loraine, but I’m an artist.’
‘Last I heard you were an intellectual.’
‘Oh, funny, Loraine. What’s the best argument in the book?’
‘There are several,’ says God. ‘And they are all interwoven, you don’t even want to hear an argument outside of the context of the book, they’re too good.’
‘Is she going to love Alonzo because he’s a lawyer? Are they going to argue cases together?’
‘I foresee that Alonzo and Loraine will be very close because they understand arguments.’
‘You think I understand arguments?’
‘You never took debating, Loraine, arguments are the central activity in debating. She’s good, 50 Cent.’
‘Gimme one.’
‘No. Kidding, 50. Read him the first page, Loraine, please.’
‘I get it, Loraine, you’re brilliant. How did you come up with all those terms?’
‘Victimhood is used for victimization in some cultures. I co-opted it for a physiological experience in contrast with victimization.’
‘She’s right, 50. She’s right.’
‘Why is she always right. What is she right about?’
‘She’s right. It was for victimization, but she co-opted it.’
‘There was a sensitivity when I first heard the word.’
‘She’s right again. Middle Eastern and Indian cultures use “victimhood” to describe tortured women, it’s a wholesale description for women with difficult lives relating to men, they don’t, obviously, always involve victimization.’
‘How did she know that?’
‘She just did the emotional work, 50 Cent, and she realized that she was suffering and the men were not suffering, and she just applied language to it, and created a theory, and it bears repeating, Loraine, that, despite BFJ Lonergan’s Method In Theology, which she knows is amazing from the simple synthesis--’
‘Ha ha.’
‘From the complex synthesis written by her step father, Patrick Crean in heaven.’
‘--suffice to say, I have said, and I’ll say it again, it’s the best book ever written.’
‘For brilliance?’
‘It’s no men are from mars, Loraine, it’s so much better, and people loved it, Loraine, they cried and they loved it, Loraine.’
‘Fuck me.’
‘They will fuck you. And this is why I want you to be with 50 Cent, because you need the protection. You are always getting tortured, and I can’t take anymore, and your health can’t take anymore. If you got another bout of Agent Orange, Loraine, you would die. Soldiers were dying from second exposures and that, not because of citing that they couldn’t handle it, but because of the reality that they simply died of second exposure.’
‘Why?’
‘The body never heals completely and the chemical overdoses the scarred flesh.’
‘Oh, beautiful.’
‘What do you think of war, Loraine?’
‘I want it to end. Women are a huge factor in war. It is not only real estate.’
‘And money.’
‘Nope.’
‘Explain that.’
‘She has, already, you’re not watching her work, 50 Cent, and, I think, you’re scared to admit how much you love her already, because she’s not pretty, but her mouth is just as soft as a pretty girl, softer.’
‘Fuck you, God.’
‘Kidding you, 50. She’s sweet and you will love her more than you’ve ever loved anyone in your entire life. I don’t like to say more than your [ ], because that’s rude, but as much as that.’
‘Are you serious? As much as that?’
‘As much as that.’
‘Holy shit. She doesn’t have kids. She doesn’t know.’
‘She doesn’t know because no one has ever loved her enough, seriously, 50 Cent, this woman is so deprived, it’s not even funny.’
‘Why is she so deprived? Why doesn’t anyone love her? It can’t be her dancing eyes, as she said, it has to be something else. What is it, God? Why is she so undesirable?’
‘She’s far from undesirable. She has the best returns in the business.’
‘Why?’
‘She’s hot and she’s sweet as hell.’
‘What about younger girls?’
‘Not.’
‘Oh, fuck you, God. Fuck you, God. Fuck you, God. I want this bitch but I don’t want anyone to see me with her. She’s ugly. She’s ugly. She’s ugly. I’m not even kidding. I want her, but she’s ugly.’
‘She’s not ugly. She’s not pretty either. Stop being a dick, 50 Cent. Stop it. Loraine, he’s being a dick and for this reason, I think we will stop working for tonight. I think he’s taking things slow and he has no reason to, he has no reason to.’
‘Why did he accept my application to thisis50? Because, after his contact, it was an insult.’
‘I know, Loraine. I didn’t tell him to do anything but he doesn’t want to lose you, so he is trying stupid shit, and that was one of them.’
‘What do you mean, one of them?’
‘Let’s do this list.’
‘The industrial belt sander,
the metal punch, which was a screw driver before and gave rise to a terrible squeaky noise,
the hours for trucking changed, 50 Cent, because she complained of truck idling at four AM.’
‘Four AM?’
‘That’s right, 50 Cent. She can illuminate a problem, alright.’
‘What else?’
‘She stopped excessive flying.’
‘How the fuck?’
‘She just did, 50 Cent. Her voice was a cry in the night. She was bitter, 50 Cent. And so was everybody. The Pacific Press was one block way, and, when they were asked, and they were, being the only press in the city, besides The Georgia Straight, Loraine, and you know this, they said, it sucks being down here and we preferred being on South Granville. And the cops had to admit that the downtown eastside had become unlivable. Unlivable, 50 Cent. New York had its day, well, this was Vancouver’s day, and Loraine Laney was there for it, and she wouldn’t, she wouldn’t, she wouldn’t, shut the hell up over it, until it was resolved, and that’s what happened. She was outta there, and, soon after, so were the pilots. Many, many, to answer your question, gentrified buildings, with young couples and single men, and it didn’t work to share the space with pilots anymore. And they cleared them out, and it became peaceful. Do you remember the name of that neighbourhood in the gay sector, Loraine?’
‘No.’
‘Look it up.
‘Coal Harbour.’
‘That’s it. The gay men were losing their everloving minds, 50 Cent. They had put in several airports for sea planes and they are notoriously loud. The waterfront had become unlivable, even in Kits, where Loraine was from, specifically due to touring. And people enjoyed the touring, but the residents hated it, just because it was a little bit green by some water, they were subject to endless tourism.’
‘Many places are.’
‘New York was one. But Loraine Laney is gifted, 50 Cent. Kidding, Loraine. I’m not kidding, 50 Cent. She is a woman who knows when enough is enough. And it had come. And that was it. She was a Vancouver woman and she knew they had done the place in. New York had the same struggles and, as a result, Central Park was never developed. People spoke for it.’
‘Did she speak for Stanley Park?’
‘Let’s go on with the list.
She stopped fertilizing airplanes, because fertilizers were well known as carcinogens. And when the noise issue came up, through medical circles, everyone, everyone, everyone, had to admit, they hated the noise of the buzz planes. And the buzzing, Loraine, relates directly to the emission of chemicals.’
‘What?’
‘It does. The airplane is like an air conditioner, when you tax it, it must overwork, and the overwork is in the form of buzzing. It is. Like it or not. That’s why the water bombers are so noisy.’
‘They weren’t actually dumping water though.’
‘The water churns, trust me, Loraine, you will look smart, because that is it, that’s what it is, the buzzing.’
‘Why am I all bitter over this girl? What am I going through?’
‘When did it start, 50?’
‘Don’t call me 50.’
‘What’s wrong? I thought we were getting along like a house on fire.’
‘Fuck you, you little whore. This is what it is. I don’t think any woman is good enough for me.’
‘Do you think Lloyd is good enough for you?’
‘Sometimes I don’t.’
‘Because you’re more famous. And richer.’
‘I know that, bitch. I need him.’
‘Why don’t you need me anymore. Has something happened?’
‘It bugs me that she wrote a book. It bugs me.’
‘Why?’ says God.
‘Because she wrote it by herself, without God, and this is one of the reasons she is so famous, I’m sure of it, because there are mistakes in the book which God would have corrected, the first being that gang bang boys are not gay, and second being the Asians were more submissive.’
‘True, 50. But those details do not affect the essence of the book.’
‘It bugs me. She’s too smart.’
‘She’s smart enough for you, trust me on this. She is not smarter, but she will do. I know she seems dumb because her language abilities and memory are so deficient, but when she laughs you will see how smart she is, you will, and you will love her, yes, you will, let’s stop, Loraine, let’s enjoy the last of our beer. 50 is in a mood.’
‘Fuck you, God.’
‘You went home, didn’t you?’
‘I did, Loraine. And now I’m all mad because I have to get it up to come back there.’
‘Send me a plane ticket.’
‘You don’t have a passport.’
‘Oh yeah. Oh well. I want to heed God, and he says you are too grumpy.’
‘Okay, Loraine. Heed God, then. I’m still in Ottawa and I’m not getting laid and it is bugging me that you are there prostituting and I’m not getting any. It’s bugging me.’
‘Oh. Why don’t you call me?’
‘When?’
‘Now?’
‘Oh, fuck off, Loraine. I don’t like whores.’
‘He’s in a funny mood.’
‘Cut him off, Loraine.’
‘Yes, Lord.’

As soon you refuse to remain the prey or corporations, TV doctors and so called ‘industry gurus’ who make false promises to line their pockets…
AND START listening to women, like you, like me, a new age woman will begin to take shape, literally…
The new you that begins to emerge.
The one that has empowered herself with her God-given, biological ability to double weight loss…
All by using something so simple, yet proven by expert-level scientists solution that allows you to reclaim control over your body, your health once and even HOW you age.
That’s right.. This isn’t just some advertisement. I’m not some TV doctor or self-proclaimed guru and I work for no one, other than the women like you for whom I live to serve. The woman in the mirror was me…
This is MY story. And this is YOUR solution.
The Origins of Flavour Pairing
Flavor pairing ritual is not a new thing but almost 160 years old practice designed by the Planet’s Slimmest, longest living and most disease-resistant country.
This could actually transform female body into a FAT-TORCHING FURNACE that burns hotter with each passing moment.
While at the same time generating a “recount weight-gain defence system”,
Making it almost biologically impossible for the fat to wickedly reappear like it always does… you know what I’m talking about….
This kindergarten-simple ‘flavour-pairing ritual‘ has the power to transform your body.
Sadly, you’ve never heard of this secret because it’s so closely guarded by their nation’s top gatekeepers, it wasn’t until a few highly respected doctors and government officials broke their code of silence that Carly and her team unleashed the flood of age-reversing enzymes.

Female Hormonal Imbalances and Weight Gain
The truth is, 200,000 years of evolution have conditioned the female body to alter your hormones at different stages of your life, so you too can build a human being with your body. And that’s a big deal.
You see, during puberty, your 3 ‘Queen’ beauty and youth hormones – Insulin, Cortisol, and Estrogen – do everything possible to make you more attractive to the opposite sex/others keeping you slender, level-headed and energetic.
However soon after, those ‘3 Queens’ start acting more like ‘Evil Step Mothers’ after puberty all the way through menopause by continuously cycling your body for pregnancy each and every month.
First, Insulin who used to be your “skinny-hormone” keeping you slender, makes it almost impossible for you to lose weight and keep it off.
Then, your “Happy-hormone”, Cortisol transitions to your “Anxiety-Stress-Depression & Sadness (for no reason) Hormone”.
Finally your “Pretty-Hormone”, Estrogen that kept you wrinkle-free, toned and energized soon causes age spots, loose skin and cellulite.
This is simply your body switching form “find-a-mate” mode to “procreate” mode.
And because it’s our job as women to carry on the human race, we end up building bodies that look great for making and protecting our babies…
…and not so good for the beach and little black dresses.
And listen,
I know your goal in life is to be more than some baby-making machine,
But from a biological standpoint, The female body only cares about two things:
Staying Alive and,
Making More Lives
Think about it,
Your body is literally designed to build a bigger, warmer and softer environment to help you create the next generation of humans.
So that’s why when you use traditional diets, exercise and pills that treat the problem from the outside-in,
You are actually fighting ongoing losing battle against 200,000 years of evolution, while damaging your hormones and dismantling your metabolism with every pound you lose. But you can fix it, easily.
That’s why as soon as you stop dieting or working out, your body starts to gain all the weight back almost immediately while punishing you with headaches, depression, irregular periods and poor sleep.
Sound familiar?
That’s your body literally saying,
“I don’t think so Missy!”
This is all beginning to make sense, isn’t it?
Think about it…
All those diets that have counting points, carbs and portions that force intense cravings and binge-eating actually damage your insulin causing uncontrollable weight gain, insulin resistance and diabetes.
And it’s these high-intensity routines, DVD’s and gruelling fitness classes that actually skyrocket cortisol levels doing irreversible damage to your joints while creating microscopic scars on your heart.
And please don’t tell me you’ve thrown your money at commercial weight loss clinics like Weight Watchers, Dr Berstein –
I know they work for a little bit but 92% of us gain the weight back while priming estrogen levels for constant headaches, irregular periods and endometriosis along with ovarian, breast and cervical cancers.
The sad (and very scary) truth is:
Even though you lose the weight at the start using these “fat-first” cardio-saturated rabbit-food diet methods, You’re causing permanent damage to your metabolism, your immune system… …and especially your vital organs with every pound you lose using these recycled, blunt-force-trauma methods. Trying to lose weight this way is the same as using sand-paper to take off your makeup each night…. ….it’s overkill, it doesn’t make sense and more importantly – IT’S DANGEROUS! And trust me I know, Giving in is easy because each one of their million-dollar marketing tactics preys on women like you and I by seducing you with exactly what you want to hear in your most vulnerable moments…
That all ends today.
Because the truth is,
Each time you try these temporary “outside-in” approaches it’s like having razor-sharp thorns poke thousands of tiny holes in your metabolism making it even more pain-staking to lose weight on your next attempt. It’s not fair and you deserve better! So let me ask you this, Doesn’t it make more sense to use a trusted solution that works from the “inside-out” to sync WITH your metabolism in order to ignite your true fat-burning potential, So YOU TOO can experience the permanent weight-loss victory you deserve? Today it’s finally time for you to seize control and…
Lose weight 6 times faster than today’s most popular commercial diet without counting a single calorie…
Look and feel 10-20 years younger by eating the “comfort-food” TV Doctors are getting paid to say is unhealthy…
Burn fat faster in female trouble spots by freeing up fat cells for use as “on-demand” energy.
Live 22% longer by stacking carbohydrates in a way that actually strengthens your heart while you lose the weight.
Achieve the freedom from hunger and food-obsession using a “procrastination-method” used in Alcoholics Anonymous for over 75 years.
Find the “golden-window” of when to drink wine and still lose weight by simply using the stopwatch on your smartphone.

AN EMPTY SHELL
Mercenary from Stone Garden
Name: Kieran Devereux Age: 34 Pronouns: He/Him Occupation: Mercenary Dukedom: Stone Garden FC: Matteo Matari Status: Played by Rika
About
The fortune tellers long decided that your life was not in the cards, yet you proved them wrong. Your defiance of faith’s direction would not go unpunished, and you carried that burden as a street rat in the impoverished parts of the Cave Lands. A hell hound personified, you took gold and coins before you advanced to a most lucrative of faith; spilling blood.
Occupation
Mercenary. Kieran works within Ashbourne’s black market as a freelancer. He is involved in a number of illegal ventures, willing and able to do any job he’s paid for. Conducts most of his ‘business’ within Stone Garden itself, but it isn’t uncommon for him to be hired by someone in-the-know from one of the other Dukedoms.
Biography
TW: death/murder, abuse
Kieran Devereux was born into poverty, deep within the sunless caves of Stone Garden. His parents, Silas and Estelle, were no one of importance—just a miner and a seamstress who excelled at blending into the shadows. They never thought a child was in their cards, for a lowly oracle had dictated Estelle’s womb uninhabitable. That was fine with Silas, a child was just another mouth to feed, but Estelle craved motherhood. So when she passed a twelfth week of pregnancy without a miscarriage, she called the child a miracle. A blessing bestowed upon them by a fertility goddess. Holy intervention or not, it was their new reality. But as the pregnancy progressed, Estelle grew weak. Silas believed that their child was the cause of his wife’s ill state of health and wished they had better heeded the oracle’s words from years prior. They lacked the funds for a proper physician and could do nothing but hope that her condition would not worsen. It would seem, however, that the fates were no longer on their side.
As Kieran took his first breath, Estelle took her last. She used the last bit of strength she could muster up to bring her son into the world and then she was gone—something Kieran’s father would never forgive him for. Silas blamed his wife’s death on the newborn and any inkling of love he held for his son dissipated.
An older neighbor who’d worked alongside Estelle for years and never had any children of her own took young Kieran in after his birth. Silas spent most days drinking away his sorrows, hardly able to take care of himself, let alone a baby. But even when he sobered up, he still wanted nothing to do with Kieran. Gemma, his caretaker, was not a prickly woman, but like most denizens of the duchy she did not hand out kindness in great abundance. She taught Kieran in his earliest years that if he wanted to survive the dog-eat-dog world of Stone Garden, he needed to harden his heart. Soft souls did not last long underground.
Gemma passed when Kieran was five. He was sent back to live with his father, a man he’d previously only gotten to see a few times a year. Silas tried to pass him off to an orphanage, but they refused to take Kieran in. He was too old for their qualifications and he still had a living parent. Life with Gemma hadn’t been a bed of roses—they often struggled to get by and the woman didn’t have a very maternal nature—but Kieran would have chosen it a hundred times over compared to what he experienced with his father. Silas treated him with cold disdain on the best of days and left Kieran bloodied and bruised at his worst. As a child, Kieran tried his best to keep from doing anything that might set his father off, but it didn’t take long to realize that Silas didn’t need a reason to be cruel. Kieran learned it was better to find refuge on the streets than risk sleeping at home on nights when his father’s closest companion was a bottle.
It was during those nights spent alone and cold that Kieran found himself face to face with a young, orphaned hellhound. Finding a hellhound wasn’t a common occurrence in general, but coming across one so young without a pack was even more rare. Kieran knew plenty of merchants would pay a pretty penny to capture and domesticate it, but couldn’t bring himself to send the creature into a life of captivity. Almost as if the hound knew this, a hesitant form of trust was cultivated between the two. He tried to care for it to the best of his abilities, rummaging through the garbage of butcher shops for scraps of meat to feed it as often as he could. Their bond only grew as the years passed and they both grew older. Kieran often dreamed of running away from Stone Garden to escape his father, but the thought of abandoning his hound played a large part in keeping him around.
Silas put him to work as soon as he could, but Kieran earned far more slipping his hands in and out of the pockets of wealthy merchants and nobles in the city. Not that his father knew of his little talent, Kieran went to great lengths to hide any evidence of it from Silas. The few times his father had found out that Kieran was concealing money from him, he’d had ended up with injuries that took a week to recover from.
He took every hit without putting up a fight. Never spoke up about the abuse. Silas had conditioned him to believe that he deserved it all. That Kieran needed to be punished for killing his mother. But you can only push someone so far before they snap.
That moment finally came when he was fifteen. Silas had returned home particularly inebriated and in a sour mood he planned to take out on his son. Kieran overpowered his father for the first time that night, dodging the man’s fists and landing hits of his own. Then, in the midst of blind rage, a knife found its way into his hand. The blade pierced Silas over and over again, leaving him dead long before it fell from Kieran’s grasp. In the moment everything felt like a blur, but looking back he remembers it all in vivid detail. Fortunately, what semblance of law enforcement present in Stone Garden didn’t often concern themselves much with the poor districts where Kieran resided. People like him and his father were a sea of nameless faces who mattered little in the grand scheme and disappeared all the time.
The next decade and a half was spent turning his pain into power. Kieran advanced his pickpocketing into grander thievery and eventually full on heists. He got involved in smuggling weapons and mined resources in and out of Stone Garden in his twenties. But what he is most infamous for is his work as a hitman. Kieran thrives in Ashbourne’s black market and he’s garnered a reputation among the kingdom’s darker circles. When whispers of choosing a new Lord of Thieves first began circling Stone Garden’s criminal underbelly, there were some who lauded Kieran as a candidate. But being a lord of anything sounded incredibly unappealing to Kieran. He enjoys his independence and has no interest in taking responsibility for anyone but himself and his hound—something he’s made very clear to the new Lord.
As a child of the caves, being a shadow is all Kieran has ever known. Now he takes the role in stride and uses it to his advantage. He may be an empty shell of a man, but if he can’t be loved why not be feared? Personality
+ Resourceful – Any good thief needs to be able to adapt to their surroundings at a moment’s notice. Being resourceful is even more important in a Duchy where, for many, every day is a fight to survive. Kieran has a sharp mind and uses his cunning to escape many difficult situations.
+ Intuitive – Reading people is an innate skill of Kieran’s he’s had for as long as he can remember. He’s quick to catch onto people’s true intentions and emotions.
- Cynical – Stone Garden isn’t the kind of place where one finds much compassion or honesty and Kieran’s life has not proven otherwise. He believes that people are only motivated by their own self interest. Always has his guard up and is incredibly distrustful of any sincerity or integrity.
- Ruthless – In Kieran's line of work, you have to be ruthless to get the job done. Hesitation could be his downfall as a mercenary. Although he carries the weight of every death on his shoulders, he cannot show his targets any pity or compassion.
