This canon call is for Ms. Adrian Andrews, from Prosecutor Franziska Von Karma. I would like to talk to you again, seen as we were married in our canon. You always knew how to calm me down and acted as my secretary after the Lordly Tailor incident. We went to Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright’s wedding together. My kin blog is @sp0ceskinniehours . I do hope you’ll be in contact, Ms. Andrews.

The audacity!

Yeah that part was a little fucked, not gonna lie 😂and not you taking everybody to the states 🤣😂

[voughtcorsair]

please i would listen to you talk all you want about the charioteer. thoughts on the characters? favorite part? headcanons?!

ok i have to reread it to probably like align with the themes more lol but here goes !!

LAURIE......very well-rounded character i liked his arc and i think he seems very real and grounded with like. good flaws and good positive traits and like. overall just really well written. I love him so so so much i want to kiss his forehead and give him a cat. i think hes just idk .... i like him SO much and i think hes an absolute darling. i would have more thoughts but im half asleep

ANDREW! i think this ones interesting because apparently the "fandom" if u can call the three ppl that seem to exist in the tag that seem very split on if they would like him to be lauries bf or not.....i personally adore him he deserves to go apple picking but he seems very sheltered and like. idk. someone who u love with ur whole heart but u know it won't work out unless something changes or you'd met at a different time etc. This is he and laurie in my brain ↓

RALPH ❤️ well i am partial to him because i understand about the boats and i understand wanting to take care of people :( Yayyyyy therapist friend hes definitely a cancer as well (sigh.) Same thing with the above w opinions split - i think that hes a really good bf for laurie and i like the ending i think he could just use proper therapy and a bit of a talking-to about boundaries . trying to be helpful to the point that its awful. sigh.. if i had to pick a character to kin i would pick him

NURSE ADRIAN! her and lauries friendship is so so so sweet :( i know she has a crush on him but i think after he leaves and they start writing to each other they become rly rly rly close friends instead and she gets a gf :-)

bunny.......bastard. jackass. im holding him by the scruff of his neck and swinging him around like a naughty cat but there's something about him that's intriguing and endearing ❤️ hes such a guy and so homosexual i adore him

alec - i would have quite liked to see more of him to be honest he seems so sweet but i simply do not remember a lot :( he feels very warm tho i would hug him

sandy - i think this was the sad one. i keep forgetting which is which but same w alec i would have liked to see like more insight into his character he seemed a little. Idk . idk...interesting but :(

reg ! i wish he was not so forgotten about i know ofc that was to highlight laurie moving away from that section of his life and all but i do feel bad for him because they were besties .... i think hes just sweet.

favourite part....i would have to reread to be coherent LOL but this is what i remember

theres a couple really really sweet scenes w ralph and laurie and one in which ralph is just like comforting him. is it too much to ask to be held.....

when andrew and laurie are in the garden and hanging out and it's like that beautiful sunny everything feels fairytale....i love those sorts of scenes

headcanons !!!! Of which i do not have many because it has been 10 hours since i finished the book and i am sooooo sleepy :-)

errrrrmmmmm everyone gets therapy. Yayyyyyyyy

andrew meets up with laurie and ralph a couple years after the war and sporadic letter writing and they sit down to have tea and catch up and then like a couple months later they r . In Love ..... i think its more suitable than trying to change core aspects of andrews character within the book canon itself and instead gives him more time to grow and be his own person and understand a lot more

ALSO THEY R ALL TRANS LOL or at least some flavour thereof. i think andrew is non binery . ralph is transmasc . laurie is like ermmm gender ? Not for me dear lol ❤️ !!!!!!

( nurse adrian is also trans :-) reg is cis but tries his best which is very sweet )

I dont actually recall how old mervyn is but i want to say heslike. 12....idk. Ralph and laurie become honorary uncle figures in his life :-)!!!! i think their friendship is so so so sweet. ralph teaches him interesting things like navigation and boats and tells stories and laurie is good for talking about feelings and interesting books and they all adopt a puppy .

Hong Kong marks handover anniversary under shadow of security law | News

Hong Kong officials marked the 23rd anniversary of the territory’s return to China on Wednesday hours after Beijing’s imposition of a new national security law that drew defiant protests and international condemnation.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam joined her predecessors and other officials at the harbour’s edge for a flag-raising ceremony and a reception for specially-invited guests, as the territory’s annual pro-democracy march was banned for the first time.

In her speech, Lam praised the new law as “the most important development” in the relationship between Beijing and Hong Kong since the 1997 handover, saying it is “necessary and timely” move to restore stability.

She defended the legislation, which came into force overnight after being rushed through China’s rubber-stamp parliament as “constitutional, lawful, sensible and reasonable”.

In a press briefing following the ceremony, Zhang Xiaoming, the Executive Deputy Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, said suspects arrested under the law would be tried in the mainland, adding that Hong Kong’s legal system could not be expected to implement the laws of the mainland.

Spreading “rumours” and “directing hatred” towards the Hong Kong police Among transgressions could be among transgressions potentially prosecuted and punished under the new law, he said.

In a separate press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Lam also said that the law reflects Beijing’s desire to uphold one country, two system.

In response, pro-democracy lawmaker Claudia Mo was quoted as telling reporters that “free press could just be announced dead in Hong Kong.”

She added that journalists who publish sensitive information about Hong Kong could also be in “dire trouble”.  

Amid threats of possible arrest, protesters gathered near the conference centre where the ceremony was held, carrying banners and shouting their opposition to the new law, which seeks to punish crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces with punishments including life in prison.

Protest banned

Authorities barred civil society’s annual demonstration, citing a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people because of the coronavirus, but many activists have said they will defy the order and march later in the afternoon.

As of 0500 GMT, police officers were seen making arrests, including Democratic Party legislator Andrew Wan, who was seen being led by police in handcuff. Images on social media also showed police using pepper spray on Wan’s face.

At the city’s Causeway Bay area, one man wearing a “Free Hong Kong” shirt become the first person arrested by police for violating the new law. A search also yielded a “Hong Kong independence” flag, police said in a statement.

The annual rally is traditionally held to air grievances about everything from sky-high home prices to what many see as Beijing’s increasing encroachment on the city’s freedoms.

“We march every year, every July 1, every October 1 and we will keep on marching,” said pro-democracy activist Leung Kwok-hung.

— Rachel Cheung (@rachel_cheung1) July 1, 2020

However, police were seen setting up cordon lines and blocking the area where the banned annual march was supposed to start at 0600 GMT.

On July 1 last year, hundreds of protesters stormed the city’s legislature to protest against a now-scrapped bill that would have allowed extraditions to mainland China, ransacking the building. The protests continued throughout the year with rally-goers demanding universal suffrage as promised in the territory’s Basic Law or mini-constitution.

Critics fear the legislation, which was only made public after it was passed, will outlaw dissent and destroy the autonomy promised when Hong Kong was returned from the United Kingdom to China in 1997.

Al Jazeera’s Katrina Yu, reporting from Beijing, said that the speed at which the new law was crafted and passed proved China’s “determination to stamp out” Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement, which it sees “as too much of a threat” to the central government’s power.

On Wednesday, Lam praised the new law as ‘the most important development’ in the relationship between Beijing and Hong Kong since the 1997 handover [Kin Cheung/AP]

She said that China may have lost patience over the last year, as the protests continued.

The legislation radically restructures the relationship between Beijing and Hong Kong envisaged under the so-called “one country, two systems” framework, obliterating the legal firewall between the city’s independent judiciary and the mainland’s party-controlled courts.

It empowers China to set up a national security agency in the city, staffed by officials who are not bound by local laws when carrying out duties.

Crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces punishable by up to life in prison.

Companies or groups that violate national security law will be fined and could have operations suspended.

Damaging certain transportation vehicles and equipment will be considered an act of ‘terrorism’.

Anyone convicted of violating security legislation will not be allowed to stand in any Hong Kong elections.

The activities of a new national security agency and its personnel in Hong Kong will not be under the jurisdiction of local government.

Authorities can surveil and wiretap persons suspected of endangering national security.

The law will apply to permanent and non-permanent residents of Hong Kong.

The law says the management of foreign NGOs and news agencies in Hong Kong will be strengthened.

It outlaws four types of national security crimes: subversion, secession, terrorism and colluding with foreign forces to endanger national security.

The full text of the law gave three scenarios when China might take over a prosecution: complicated foreign interference cases, “very serious” cases and when national security faces “serious and realistic threats”.

“Both the national security agency and Hong Kong can request to pass the case to mainland China and the prosecution will be done by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the trial will be in the Supreme Court,” the law stated.

“No matter whether violence has been used, or the threat of violence used, leaders or serious offenders will be sentenced for life imprisonment or a minimum of 10 years in jail,” it said.

“The Hong Kong government has no jurisdiction over the national security agency in Hong Kong and its staff when they are discharging duties provided in this law,” it added.

The text also specified that those who destroy government facilities and utilities would be considered subversive. Damaging public transportation facilities and arson would constitute acts of “terrorism”. Any person taking part in secessionist activities, whether organising or participating, will violate the law regardless of whether violence is used.

The law also said certain national security cases could be held behind closed doors without juries in Hong Kong if they contained state secrets, although the verdict and eventual judgements would be made public.

The legislation has drawn international condemnation with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accusing China of “paranoia” and saying the law “destroys the territory’s autonomy and one of China’s greatest achievements”.

The introduction of the law also demonstrated that China’s commitment to international treaties, such as the Sino-British Joint Declaration, were “empty words”, Pompeo added.

Meanwhile, Taiwan opened an office on Wednesday to help people fleeing Hong  Kong, with a senior minister saying the self-ruled island would continue to support people in the territory.

“This is an important milestone for the government to further support democracy and freedom in Hong Kong,” said Chen Ming-tong, the head of Taiwan’s China-policy making Mainland Affairs Council.

Al Jazeera’s Adrian Brown, reporting from Hong Kong, said that residents of the city probably felt that the new law was “a lot more far-reaching than they imagined, (and) many are “still trying to figure out how it will impact their lives.”

“Make no mistake. This is a law that will going to affect everyone in Hong Kong.”
