I don't get why cn wanted ben and kai to be that "one bickering couple" where ben bickers with his partner a lot is too out of character for him
I don't think ben is that aggressive when it comes to conflict, yeah he could argue with his lover but not in a sense petty way, if anything he would try to apologize and fix things, and he's not that petty to be that "couple who bickers with his lover a lot but secretly loves them"
also there has to be a real reason ben would argue with his partner a lot not some petty reasons
there dynamic is way too similar to OS ben and gwen's dynamic than an actual loving couple 😭

YASMIN DOUGLAS—
IG info/Bio: @/imyasmin_d | 11.6k followers | hello & ahlan 🎶
23-24 years old depending on her birthday (I’m thinking too much about timelines since i know some shows aren’t live and if they filmed it prior & it’s just being shown to us now...then there’s the boat party that comes in after, you get what I’m saying right? No? Okay)
Moroccan heritage
she was born in fes along with her baba
Father works in the carpet & rug manufacturing industry and worked in his father’s business from the young age of 16
her mother is from Essaouira & has often stated that she couldn’t stand Yasmin’s father the first time they met but she wouldn’t want to travel through this life with anyone else
Her father and mother came from two different lifestyles. All he knew how to do was hard work yet he had a sarcastic but playful side to him whereas her mom came from a family that was more financially stable & she was free to do whatever! mainly hanging at the beach with her friends without a care in the world, she was privileged and a little uppity while her father’s life seemed to be planned out from the day of his birth
Yet they still fell in love and decided to leave Morocco months after they got married at 21 & 24 & not too long after they had yas they left for England
She was raised in Kent, England
The Atmosphereďżź led to her boho lifestyle...being exposed to castles, gardens, and underground tunnels from time to time shaped her into what she felt she was meant to be. She loved her second home
they call her “yazzy”
Parents follow islam...Which Yasmin respects but is not strongly devoted to
Can speak & write in Arabic but seems to do better in writing
Her paternal grandparents fault her parents for not teaching her to excel at both & feel that if they weren’t in such a rush to leave home she would speak Arabic better
Which made Yasmin feel like shit. Her paternal grandparents were strict on keeping their customs alive whereas her maternal grandparents were carefree as long as they got to see their granddaughter alive & well that was good enough for them
Idk maybe a only child or has a older brother? I don’t feel like she comes from a big family sibling wise
her mother made her a stuffed purple sheep that she took everywhere with her as a kid & continues to keep close to her. Y’all had imaginary friends? Well Yasmin had a real friend she could see & squeeze the life out that didn’t require talking and hugging the air, but that’s fine do u
100% collects beanie babies until this day but lil yamb is the number one princess in her household
As her significant other you have to be okay with lil yamb sleeping in between y’all that’s just the way it is
These stuffed babies are her comfort when no else can be
she’s a singer/songwriter. Went to uni for it & finished a semester early
Went through multiple hell experiences when it came to interning & temping while still in school & after
Let’s just say she wasn’t down to f*ck her way to the top
this made her anxiety act up, these people made her feel like she wouldn’t be good enough to show the world her craft & it’s didn’t have to be the world, just someone who would listen
But she couldn’t give up, there was nothing else she saw herself doing. She knew this is what she was meant to do but she couldn’t lie and say that her insecurities didn’t get the best of her most days
Although the cons seemed to out way the Pros some days, she kept at it & found herself a solid team that knew what she was about and understood her soul
Was definitely the student who loved all her English classes & when she spoke up everyone found it shocking since she preferred to just write everything out rather than “participate in group discussions”
I feel like her singing voice sounds similar to Jessica mauboy’s (if you don’t know who that is & you’re a fan of r&b/pop check her out or if you’re just curious that works too lol)
Knows her music notes like the back of her hand, duh!
Fav color is royal blue, especially on her eyelids & nails
Occasionally sleeps in rollers to keep her hair wavy
Needs her space when it comes to disagreements, they stress her out & she panics a bit when things go wrong so she feels like she needs to leave the situation rather than talk it out right then and there
She’ll talk when she’s ready, she just needs someone that’s a little patient with her that’s all
Words of affirmation is her love language? When she figures out how to balance her love life with her work life that is. When she’s feeling confident she’s smooth with words but when she needs to show you how much you mean to her & she really takes the time to think it out & feel her emotions, she’s writing you a song or you’re the inspiration to it or a poem, leaving you little love notes on blue post-it’s around the house, will write 50 reasons why she loves you on Valentine’s Day, and will say so when it’s just the two of you in your own comfort
Isn’t too crazy about public displays of affection but will deff hold your hand if that’s something you or she wanted in that moment
I think she’s fluid
Hasn’t been in many relationships. Sure she goes on tour every other year and gets to meet many people but they’re not solid relationships, they’re hookups and she hasn’t done many of those either
Had maybe one or two solid relationships: a androgynous woman that uses she/they pronouns & was in a rock band & a cis male she met at a tattoo parlor his step-brother owned (he kinda favored seb but we’re not going to speak on that)
I believe she wants to get married someday but isn’t so keen on the idea of kids. The furthest she’ll go is adopting a couple of animals. She’ll be a pet mom! I feel like she’ll be anxious looking after the life of a human being when it’s extremely hard to do so not only for herself and the love of her life & you want to add kids to the mix?! Fucking hell! but that could change? Who knows what life can throw at u
Has a hedgehog named Sonia that she drops off at her parents for their weekly sleepovers
Loves lace—mostly bralettes & crotchet clothing
I see her as a corduroy girl too. She has at least some rusty brown low-rise corduroy pants or/and a jacket
owns a crotchet kit, she’s bloody good at it too
Loved pink & purple (still likes them, they’re her 2nd & 3rd fav colors) so much as a kid that she tried to dye her hair half & half while her parents went out on their date night...it was also the weekend before school pictures :)
Says she got her inspiration from starfire & raven. She was only 13 at the time & had braces. Her father approved saying she’s a kid and she should be allowed to express herself. He only said that because his own parents barely let him & his brothers have their own fun
Her mother thought it was atrocious and did her best to get it out with the help of her other hair stylists friends (her mother worked in plenty of beauty shops once she got to England, until she decided to convert their basement into her own shop) who she invited over to see what her daughter had done but when you use certain permanent dyes...
It didn’t completely damage yasmin’s hair plus it was just hair, Yasmin didn’t see the big deal. She thought she looked splendid
Anyway, massive fan of ballroom dancing
She’s got a great ear to begin with so it was extremely fun twirling around while wearing pretty ballroom gowns
Took boring etiquette classes as a form of punishment? After the whole teen Titans inspiration thing “went wrong”
Enjoys western films
yes she owns a cowgirl hat & some boots too so sue her, she likes what she likes
Knows how to lasso but hates doing it to animals but she’ll do it to you :) (*gags* lmao why???)
Also loves visiting western towns & learning some history or at least experiencing what it was like
Type of significant other that will do her best to persuade you to stay in a treehouse airbnb, a cabin, the fucking Idaho potato, or camping out in her Volkswagen van in the middle of nowhere!
Has faux cow rugs, wicker baskets, wicker chairs in her flat, hangs some plants in glass jars & bottles all over her house
Her flat is very bright & vibrant: white, mocha brown, tan, yellows, & pastel purple
When it comes to decision making, she’ll make them pretty quick but only if it comes to choosing desserts
nobody is touching her mom’s meskouta orange cake WITH syrup
the dessert eater that always picks the one that has a surprise inside, meaning it has to ooze out with SOMETHING to make it 10x more satisfying
Leaning towards Buddhism, had studied some of their beliefs and found it resonates with her spirit
Fan of neon lights, probably has a few neon signs in her flat preferably on her brick wall in the loo, “to give u comfort as you go!” “that...actually makes sense.” Tai commented as he rubbed his chin coming to terms with yasmin’s reply. While Iona scowls, “no, no it doesn’t. I feel as if it’s an invasion of my bits!” “...Sorry you feel that way.”
tai & ciaran are automatically deemed as her brothers since she came into the villa with them. She had time to connect with them unlike anyone else. It was just the way the stars wrote their story and it showed outside of the villa too. they often crash at her place all the time when they’re in town & vacation all the time together when their schedules line up + it never feels like she’s third wheeling
“TaiTower” & “BB-Ci” are their names in her phone, Tai picked his own name while the “bb” stands for “best buds” for ciaran —which is a joke since he drunkly called himself so + he loves everyone when he’s drunk
You can always count on her to belt the lyrics to a Chaka Khan, TLC, or paula abdul joint when she’s drunk lol
As for the girls? She’s close with miki 😒 they just seem to be on the same wavelength when it comes to the pressure of the media since they have some sort of fame which increased with them being on the Telly. They bond over that & from there they’ve built a solid friendship
She could also be friends with AJ too (if you didn’t get swiped from her that is lmao!) they’re sorta opposites with aj being high energy/active while Yasmin is more mellow & “mysterious” but seem to connect in different ways: their sexual indentities, insecurities/anxieties, having something to be passionate about but at the same time maybe not? She might lean towards elladine or Genevieve if she had to make a choice?
Aquarius sun + cancer moon
so she’s still 23 y’all, I got it! I can’t do math sorry
“Freddie Mercury was probably my dad in my past life.”
Can play the banjo, guitar, & oud
Participates in hot yoga weekly
If she’s not with mc in the end and continues dating around if anyone from season two: LUCAS, Kassam, Gary, Rocco, maybe Blake? I originally thought Elisa but she’s probably too much for yas let’s be honest here lol they’d be better off as friends
Omg I forgot marisol! Imagine that?! Whew!!!
Season three: maybe Lily? But what if? Me being the slightly messy bitch that I am? Something happening with her & AJ. Now that?! Would be some chaotic shit “from the outside looks of it” name the irrelevant person behind the quote...now!
I’d like to see her interact with allerga but there could be something with her & cherry. I’m thinking cherry, Yasmin, & priya would bond well but we’re not here to talk about that
Getting rid of the physical aspect I genuinely think she’d do well with marisol, Lucas, or kassam. They’d mesh well I think in a relationship
She’s a body shimmer girl for sure!
Loves silk or satin robes
she’s a shortie, 5’2 to 5’5
Is learning Spanish
Loves arcade games, come see her in pinball & Pac-Man!
Quarantine life did not change her lifestyle much, but it did slightly mess with her mental health :/
loves the fall time, feels like she can slow down some and really spend time with family and friends
I feel like she has one best friend outside of the villa & that’s good enough for her!
They met their first year in uni & been close ever since
She doesn’t speak to the temporary friends she grew up with anymore & is often confused why they feel the need to keep up with her in the media which added more annoying worries to her heart but whatever right? Keep your eyes on the horizon
celebs she finds/found attractive: Aaliyah—especially when she played in queen of the damned, Kehlani, Zazie Beetz, Fivel & Booboo Stewart, Lakeith stanfield, Leah Lewis, Sofia Carson, Ryan gosling, & Nick Jonas
She listens to: jade bird, Yebba, Elli Ingram, Wafia, Zeina, Summer walker, Tanerèlle, Mariah the scientist, Teyana Taylor, Tove Lo, lady Gaga, Ra Ra Riot, Empire of the sun, & smallpools
Anthem? Diana Gordon — Rollin’

“oh nonono i am NOT spending more time with you than i already have PLUS me and yeji were supposed to shop together!”
“gosh y/n am i THAT horrible that you can’t spend ANY time with me” hyunjin says feigning his hurt, “and you can just window shop now and go buy the dress with yeji later if you care THAT much about my cousin’s weird opinions”
“wow and you WONDER why i call you dramatic! but fine! i’ll go with you!”
spending MORE time with hyunjin
what happened to you
but like he’s right
yesterday wasn’t as bad as you thought it was gonna be
and spending more time with hyunjin wouldn’t? hurt?
(are you saying this to convince yourself or to help you power through the day)
so a very excited hyunjin and a very reluctant you make your ways to the shopping district in london and get ready to shop until you drop!
.。*゚+.*.。(❁´◡`❁)。.。:+*.。*゚+.*.。(❁´◡`❁)。.。:+*.。*゚+.*.。(❁´◡`❁)。.。:+*.。*゚+.*.。(❁´◡`❁)。

“dude we went to like 5000 suit stores you STILL can’t find what you’re looking for?”
“listen, it’s not EVERYDAY there’s a ball being thrown i need to dress to impress”

with that being said you take your leave and head into one of the super fancy super pricey super pretty stores that was next to the store you and hyunjin were at
yo bro how does this store just exist
it was like those places you would see on say yes to the dress
but like not a wedding store
like it was white and magical and clean and there were at least a hundred dresses
they had like

and this is why you wanted to go with yeji!
as you scan the store, you already see like

Hey everyone! So this is a fic for @lesbiansassemble femslash writing challenge. It’s actually pretty late, I’m a terrible person. I don’t write fics because I honestly don’t have the patience for them and I’m kind of insecure in my writing, I feel like it’s always so rushed (which might link back to the whole impatience thing, hmmm), but I decided to give it a try bc I’ve always wanted to and I adore this ship. It’s 1000+ words, so click the keep reading link if y’all wanna give it a try! (Also I just got back from my trip to Mexico & I have to pick up my nephew from school, so I’m just uploading this real quick and leaving. Sorry for any mistakes!)
PROMPT: “I need to tell you something.” Shuri/MJ
There’s this girl I know and I want you to meet her, I think you’ll really like her, Peter had said one day as they walked to class.
At first, MJ was doubtful. She trusted Peter when it came to Decathlon questions and anything related to science, but he was also secretive about his personal life.
She had wanted to know where he met the girl, but he withheld all answers, as usual. It was a usual routine in their friendship. The only person who knew all of Peter’s ins and outs was probably Ned. She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t sometimes jealous about that friendship.
So yeah, sue her for being very skeptical when her friend had told her to meet this girl in some park, holding a dumb green rose he had made for her on a Sunday evening. She didn’t know why she still agreed to Parker’s schemes. (Yes she did, she was lonely.)
That was how she met Shuri. Shuri, the most beautiful girl MJ had ever seen. One of the smartest (read: genius) and wittiest girl she’d ever met.
Shuri held a form of elegance that MJ had only ever seen in movies, but it wasn’t overwhelming. Her elegance was accompanied by a teasing nature and an overall casual atmosphere. MJ didn’t know how she did that, but Shuri was definitely the fantasy girl she had dreamed about in middle school.
The day at the park had been their first of many dates and when they made it official, MJ made sure everyone she knew (which, admittedly, wasn’t too many people), was made aware of her girlfriend. The thought alone made MJ smile throughout the long school days and club meetings.
There were two downsides though.
MJ wasn’t dumb. In fact, she liked to pride herself in the opposite. The first problem was, just like Peter, Shuri never talked about her personal life. It would be a fairly obvious guess to say that whatever Peter liked to keep private was what Shuri liked to keep private. In fact, she would bet her entire book collection in saying that they had probably met through all their secrecy.
And while Shuri had never told her, MJ knew her girlfriend was rich. Or was, at the very least, ‘well off’, as the adults liked to call it. She had no idea how that tied in to Peter’s life because he definitely wasn’t even close to ‘well off’, but that was a question for another day.
The second problem was that Shuri travelled. A lot. Sometimes MJ wouldn’t see her girlfriend for weeks at a time because her family was off in some other country doing some important business.
That didn’t really bother MJ as much as the first problem though. She hated being left out. She was left out of things for such a long time in her life, feeling the same bite of rejection from her girlfriend seemed to be 10x worse.
It might have put a small strain in her relationship. At least on her behalf. She doubted that Shuri had noticed.
“I’m going to the UK with my brother next week.” Shuri commented on their regular stroll through the park.
Every other day after school, Shuri would wait for MJ at the park they first met. They would stroll around for a while. Sometimes other plans arose, like the arcade or a movie. Other times they’d go back to MJ’s house. It varied from day to day.
“What for?” MJ asked- as if she didn’t know what the answer would be. ‘Family stuff.’ Shuri would say. Or ‘Personal Business’. And then they would drop it.
“Family stuff.” Shuri expectedly replied.
MJ hummed and nodded, allowing a silence to fall between them. She could feel Shuri looking at her from besides her, feel as her hand fidgeted in her own grasp and then she heard a sigh.
Shuri stopped walking besides MJ.
MJ looked back at her girlfriend, who looked conflicted. And kind of lost, something MJ had never seen on her girlfriend before. As she’d said before, Shuri was a genius, she seemed to hold the answer to everything.
It took a few seconds before Shuri began talking again. “How long have we been dating?”
It was a dumb question. Not in a ‘How do you not know how long we’ve been together?’ way, but because MJ knew for a fact that Shuri had a planner where she marked their anniversary and planned the most outrageous outings (Shuri had wanted to take her to Rome two months ago. MJ had to draw a line somewhere.)
Still, MJ decided to humor her, “About eleven months. Our one year is in two weeks. Why?”
Shuri nodded, “Okay. You know, I’ve never had a girlfriend before? Or dated anyone, really. You’re my first anything, so I’m not really sure when the time to do this is right.”
“Wow, wait.” MJ put in immediately. “You’re not gonna pull a proposal right? Because I can tell you right here and right now that those usually don’t happen until we’re both legally adults. And have been seeing one another for a few years.”
Not that she didn’t want to marry Shuri. She did, but at a later time. Not the time to think about that. She was still in high school.
Shuri laughed, “No! No, none of that. I’m not that unexperienced. I just…” She hesitated before continuing, “I need to tell you something.”
MJ almost expected a break-up. Almost. But that wouldn’t make any sense. Things were going great, apart from that one-sided strain on her side, but she didn’t even think that other girl had noticed.
“I know you’ve been getting kind of annoyed whenever I don’t tell you things. I want to, I really want to tell you, but I never know when the time is right.”
Okay, so maybe she had noticed.
MJ squeezed Shuri’s hand and smiled at her, “Yeah, I get kind of annoyed, but if you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to tell me. Just as long as you’re not doing anything that’ll put yourself in danger.”
As much as she wanted the ins on her girlfriends personal life, she didn’t want it forced out of her because she thought that MJ was annoyed. Which was true, but still.
“No, I want to tell you. I just don’t know where to start.” Shuri paused. “What do you know about Wakanda?”
MJ startled. Wakanda? “What does that have to do with anything?”
“Just answer.” Shuri pushed on.
MJ knew about Wakanda, yes, it was all over the news about a year and a half ago.
“It seems… cool? I know it was on the news more than a year ago. Everyone thought they were some dirt poor village or whatever, but turns out they’re really advanced. Like, Tony Stark doesn’t stand a chance.”
Shuri laughed once more, “Yeah, he stands no chance. Anything else?”
“Hm. They’re still pretty secretive. The king- T’Challa comes out on the news all the time. And I know there’s the old Queen, his mother, and a princess, but no one knows anything about them. What does this have to do with anything?”
“If I weren’t so good at hiding things, I’d call you oblivious.” Shuri joked, “But what if I told you-”
She paused, as if thinking over what to say.
MJ’s heart beat a bit faster than normal. She wasn’t dumb. There were clues now, things she could connect to one another, but she didn’t want to. She wanted Shuri to tell her.
The other girl continued, “What if I said I know the princess?”
MJ stopped in her thoughts. Huh, okay, maybe her mind went too far in her assumption, but close enough?
“I would tell you to not leave me for a princess.” MJ responded, partially joking, partially serious.
“And… what if I told you I was the princess?”
Okay, so maybe MJ’s mind wasn’t that crazy, but thinking it and hearing it from her girlfriends mouth were two totally different things. MJ honestly didn’t know what to think.
“I think… I think I need to sit down.” Was her reply. She didn’t bother looking for the nearest bench. She sat exactly where they stood. In the middle of the path in the park. What to think? What was there to think?
MJ read a lot. From fantasy books to non-fiction to romance. She tried to think back to any book she might have read titled, What to Do When Your Girlfriend of a Year Tells You She’s a Princess & Other Stories. Strangely enough, she couldn’t think of any. Guess it didn’t happen too often.
She hadn’t realized that Shuri had knelt besides her, rambling on, trying to explain herself until MJ looked up at her.
“- and I would have told you months ago, but my mother said I need to be wary of the relations I bring into the nation as well because of the whole princess thing, which I have to admit, I kind of agree on, but it was never a personal thin-”
“Hey.” MJ cut her off. Shuri stopped and stared nervously back at her girlfriend. “I have no idea what to say. I have no clue how to react. But this doesn’t change anything. We can figure anything out as we go.”
Shuri smiled and stood  up, offering her hand to MJ who was still sitting on the floor, criss-cross apple-sauce and all. MJ accepted her hand and smiled back at her girlfriend.
The butterflies she felt whenever she was around Shuri months ago were long gone. Recently, a new feeling took place. It was still a kind of warmth, but not the same. It felt safe. Familiar. With her, she knew they could figure out anything as they went.
“I have to tell you something else.” Shuri said.
“Am I going to have to sit on the floor again?”
“Probably not.” Shuri smiled.
“Okay then, shoot.”
The princess’ smiled widened as she squeezed MJ’s hand. “I love you.”
MJ did have to sit on the floor again. Longer than before because the warmth that exploded within her and on her face couldn’t have been healthy.
However, after a few moments of having her head shoved into her hands, MJ stood up and kissed her girlfriend, but not before muttering, “I love you too.”
When they parted, a thought occurred to MJ, “Wait, how the fuck does Parker know the princess of Wakanda?”
Shuri smiled and pulled her to continue their walk. “Ask him.” Was all she said.
She would ask him, MJ decided, but another day. Nothing else mattered much when she was with her girlfriend.

Link Tank: Stream the Microsoft Windows 11 Reveal Event Live Here
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Don’t miss the Microsoft Windows 11 Reveal Event today at 11 AM EDT. Follow along with the live stream video below.
Windows 11, the new operating system set to be announced today, has been in the works for a while at Microsoft, although it wasn’t always in its current form. Many of the changes you’ll see during the reveal — some of which have already leaked online ahead of the event — were first designed for Windows 10X, a version of Windows for dual-screen devices. Planned features such as improved UI functionality, including a Start Menu that essentially functions like an app launcher, have since been adopted by Windows 11. Expect the 45-minute Reveal Event to go into detail on all this and more.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie made a killing at the Japanese box office in late 2020, toppling both Spirited Away and Titanic. That’s just one of the reasons why Demon Slayer should be your new favorite anime.
“When an anime movie, seemingly out of nowhere, dethrones Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away and freakin’ Titanic as the biggest box office success of all time in Japan in just six weeks—during a pandemic, no less—it’s probably time to pay attention to that anime movie. That’s exactly what Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train (phew) accomplished in late 2020, the feature-length follow-up to the first season of one of the most popular new anime in recent memory.”

Actress Sharon Stone went viral on Twitter this week for a poignant comment she made about Hollywood’s favoritism towards Meryl Streep.
“Sharon Stone has been speaking out a lot concerning her experiences in Hollywood. The good, the bad, and all the things she has survived to become the icon she is today. Yesterday, Stone went viral when a resurfaced profile in Zoomer Magazine regarding her new memoir was published on Twitter addressing the industry’s favoritism towards Meryl Streep.”

Brush up on the mythology that inspired Sersi of Marvel’s upcoming Eternals movie with Madeline Miller’s Circe.
“In much of our modern supernatural genre media where heroes and villains wage war for reality, you can plainly see the long-lasting influence of myths about gods and monsters incessantly vying for dominance over one another. DC’s Lucifer, Marvel’s Loki and Thor, and Sersi of the Eternals are just a handful of the fictional comics characters crafted from the mythologies of religious figures. For any MCU fan looking to brush up, we highly recommend checking out Madeline Miller’s Circe.”

If you’re looking to get a full refund on your purchase of Cyberpunk 2077 from Microsoft, you have until July 6.
“The poor state of Cyberpunk 2077 when it launched last year saw Sony pull it from the PlayStation Store, but Microsoft opted for a different approach. The digital version of the game remained on sale and anyone purchasing it was offered a full refund if they were dissatisfied. At the time, Microsoft said the policy would be in place until further notice, but as PC Gamer reports, it’s now set to end on July 6.”

British series Inside No. 9 is one of the best anthology series Americans have never heard of, and it’s finally coming to streaming in the U.S.
“The best shows come from the harshest rules. usually, these ‘rules’ are part of the show’s structure. Every episode of How I Met Your Mother is part of some future anecdote given by the protagonist. 24 is bound to real-time storytelling. But in the case of Inside No. 9, a cult favorite British anthology series now streaming on British import streaming service BritBox, the rule is simple: every episode takes place in a ‘Number Nine’ be it a house, a hotel floor, or a train car.”

Jamie Lynn Spears Invites Heroic First Responders to Daughter Maddie’s 9th Birthday Party
Tumblr media

Jamie Lynn Spears knows her daughter, Maddie Aldridge, is lucky to be alive to celebrate her 9th birthday, so the singer/songwriter made it extra special by inviting some of the first responders who saved the girl’s life earlier this year to help mark the day.
Over the weekend, Maddie had a pool party with her pals — and a few VIP guests named John and Victoria. The young man and woman rescued the child after she accidentally drove an ATV into a pond on a relative’s property in Kentwood, La., and was trapped underwater in February.
My baby is 9 years old today, and more then ever we realize how precious every day is. So, we have to thank these 2 HEROS ???????? John and Victoria are the first responders, who literally saved Maddie's life, and they were able to celebrate her another year of her life with us this past weekend! Thank God for these amazing people, and thank you God for your amazing grace. We are so blessed today, and everyday with this little angel! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDIE????????

“My baby is 9 years old today, and more then ever we realize how precious every day is,” Britney’s little sister, 26, wrote on Monday. “So, we have to thank these 2 HEROS. John and Victoria are the first responders, who literally saved Maddie’s life, and they were able to celebrate her another year of her life with us this past weekend! Thank God for these amazing people, and thank you God for your amazing grace. We are so blessed today, and everyday with this little angel! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDIE.”
We’re sure it was a highly emotional moment for Maddie — and her mother and stepfather, Jamie Watson. However, the party was also just good, light-hearted fun. Lots of Maddie’s friends were invited over to a pool party. There was ice cream, a two-tiered cake, and loads of LSU decorations (even the swimming noodles and towels were purple and yellow).
Today was the PERFECT day for a PARTY???????? Thanks to everyone for coming out, and celebrating with our baby girl????????

Also, I have to say a special thank you to @mallyb86 for introducing me to @signgypsiesnorthshore ???????? Everyone was so accommodating, and these signs made everything look 10x better????????(this is not an AD, they were just truly amazing)

There was no Aunt Britney, however. She’s on tour in Asia.
In February, Maddie was off-roading when she flipped her Polaris and was submerged under water for “several minutes.” However, she was freed and airlifted to a New Orleans hospital, where she remained in “critical but stable condition.” With her famous family by her side praying their hearts out, she quickly recovered and was released just a week later. She’s since made a full recovery, returning to school and sports soon after.
On Jamie Lynn’s 26th birthday in April, she wrote about her priority shift in the wake of her only child’s accident. “Music and my career have always been a big passion in my life, as well as to create a future that my family could be proud of,” she wrote. “I have been working on my music for almost a decade now, and I have had many great successes as an artist-writer, but I was always wondering, how long I would have to WAIT for my big break? Wow, did God put me in my place. … Time doesn’t matter, and seems to blur together when you’re waiting for your daughter to wake up, and a day could be a week, and you wouldn’t notice, because you’re fighting for what you love.”
The story had a happy ending though — and it’s nice that they could celebrate that with the other people who also fought hard to save that little girl’s life.

It's a shame that you're going to ruin Tori's life. She could have had nice life, recovered from her ED, met a nice vegan boy, found a job she was passionate about. But she's met you and you're going to present her as nothing more then a body and an object, make her feel that her worth is purely based on her aesthetics,push her so hard until she burns out and then when she cracks you'll slander her and bully her into a shell of a person. We've seen it before. But it will be 10X worse with Tori.
I know you are just a troll looking for a bite but I will answer your fake sincerity based statement.
1. How can anyone ruin anyones life by helping them get fit AF, get healthy and get em on track with a career path they enjoy?
2. How can anyone ruin anyones life? Even those landmine victims in Cambodia don’t hold grudges to the person who laid the mine. They get on with their lives and stay productive or end up fucking up their own life by playing the blame game. Whenever we blame someone else for the reason we can’t enjoy life then we give our power over to someone else. I don’t know about you mate but Im in control of my thoughts and emotions. I determine my quality of life, NOBODY else.
3. You say ‘had a nice life’ as if we can predict the future or guarantee we will be alive for the next hour? Any of us could die at any minute mate. If you care about Tori so much then why don’t you put the effort into her that I have? Thats right mr troll, you couldnt give a flying fuck about anyone but yourself. When you pretend to care it is just so you can throw shade at a situation that involves someone you are jealous of.
4. ‘Present her as a body’ etc. What female doesnt put their aesthetic value as their highest priority? What planet do you live on mate? My issue is when people take things to the extreme and start starving themselves, doing drugs or botox etc to look a certain way. That aint healthy. Showing off a fit healthy body is normal and natural in my reality mate. It inspires other women to eat and live healthier. 
5. “Push her till she burns out’. NOBODY has ever burned out or ever will if Im coaching them. I don’t even have light bulbs or a sofa at my place. No chairs. You either lay down and rest or you are riding your bike. Every ride I monitor via wattages to ensure no elevated TSS values are sustained. You don’t even have a clue how to get yourself fit mate who what gives you the credentials to critique me? 
6. Tori isnt like FL and co. She isnt the slander type. Ive never slandered anyone in my life. Not only is it illegal, it is also against my personal values. I only speak facts my friend. 
7. Slander? Toby took me to supreme court last year for me claiming he was on anabolic steroids.(I never even said he was on them, I just laughed about him claiming natty status. I told him via instagram message that I knew he was though and could prove it at trial. (Adelaide gym scene is a small small place). He dropped the case a few hours later and was recently busted with illegal steroids and charged for possession of them. He faces court again in a few weeks. 
Slander is the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation. I was just stating the facts and it got blown out way more than it needed too. Now the local media is reminding people that he took me to court about the steroids claim. They are having a field day with it. Its part of gym culture to use anabolic steroids and do them longterm. If you don’t you simply CANT build much muscle and if you are honest about it then people will make fun of you or sponsors will drop you. I understood why Toby lied but many say I was slandering him. I wasnt, I was just stating the obvious and with no malice. Malice is when you single someone out but let others who are doing the same thing get away with it. Ive been calling out fake natties for ever man!
Ive NEVER slandered Freelee. I just spoke the truth. 
*She did botox for years when I was with her and lied to my face about it.
*She did chronic ground work with robin whilst we were still together and lied to my face about it. She said they were ‘just online chat buddies!’. 
* FL used to kick, knee, scratch and punch me a lot. She always started it and it was mostly when I would reply back to a female viewer about a cycling or health question or if I didnt want to delete someone in my vlog.
*She did say one of the last times I spoke with her that she prayed someone would run me over on my bike and kill me. She said ‘I know Ive said that before and I didnt really mean it but this time I mean it with all my heart that someone runs you over and you die’.
*She blocked me from my own forum and cut my ebook sales from about 10 copies a day to about 1 copy a day. I made 30BaD the most active vegan forum on the planet I posted almost every day for almost 9 years. FL hadnt posted their for the 18 months prior to deleting me.
*FL still owes me $5000 that she promised to pay me over and over.
I could go on and on but its getting boring and my lawyers are onto it. If Ive slandered FL then she should take me to court like Im taking her vs run from Australia to avoid legal action.
What you have done mate is slander me. You are the ultimate hypocrite. The primary motivation to slander someone is you see that person as competition or you are jealous of them. Im not jealous of anyone and for me the word competition means competere which means ‘strive together’. Google it sometime mate.
That is why you slander behind a fake profile mate so nobody can sue you.
