Travel Log & Ledger of Tristan Klein

Date: Oct. 14, 1733

Jamestown was a bust. Community of blockheads with no sense of vision.

Arrived in village of Brandenburg, est. pop. 300. Hoped to find it more amenable to my wares, but so far the townsfolk seem guarded and, at times, hostile. Little wonder - bad timing. It seems a murder took place in the early hours, a young boy. A dreadful sight, to be sure, but nothing in the town's response to the tragedy adds up to sense.

In fact, I worry I've traveled into a den of lunatics.

To wit:

Several other strangers to town arrived with me today. A shipwright sorely lacking in a sense of personal skills, a wildman trapper with a face like the backside of an ass, and Mr. Fancypants the Hessian soldier-for-hire who, from what I gathered eavesdropping, is here to deliver a package to the richest family in town. None of his story makes sense to me, but I haven't had a chance to press him for details.

Despite the boy's death being a spectacle drawing most of the town to see, his family in hysterics, the body was cleared away most unceremoniously and the task of burial fell to OUR hands. What sort of family buries a child in unconsecrated ground, with no funeral, and trusts the deed to a group of strangers? Once more, none of this makes any sense. The only local to aid us in this was a simple farm boy.

Strange things have been happening to my senses since arrival, as well. Apparitions of a most unpleasant nature, whispers in the tavern from no clear origin. A bible burst to flames in my hand and restored itself when I tried to show the evidence. At first, I worried some ergot had poisoned the ale, but I fear it's much worse than that -- for the others have seen the same things. Five men may all be driven to hallucinate at once, but not the *same* ghastly visions.

Most damning of all, I encountered a blacksmith who insisted that a demon arrived this very morning to their small town. When pressed for details, he was a most unhelpful and suspicious source, but I am convinced he was dead serious in his assertion.

One of my companions (to use the term generously) encountered a woman in the woods and though he prattled on quite nonsensically, one thing was evident: this murder is not the only instance of such an evil in this town's history, whatever the other locals may claim.

I made just one pleasant acquaintance in an otherwise very long and exhausting day, although I worry his friendship may not ingratiate me with the townsfolk. No matter. I don't think I want to stay long enough to make further friends.

The blacksmith warned against trying to pass the woods at night, so I am stuck here at least until morning light. My plan is to leave at dawn and put this cursed place and its devilry behind me.

Y/N had been counting the days since Danielle, Minji's best friend, had sent her that text. It felt like an eternity had passed, yet the sting of the message still lingered. She regretted agreeing to Danielle's request, but she couldn't explain why she had done it in the first place. She still wonders why she made that decision, but she finds it hard to answer her own question. However, it was too late to change anything now. Y/N couldn't even tell Danielle the truth about her relationship with Sungho without hurting Minji. Guilt is consuming her every day, but she chooses to keep quiet for the sake of Minji's happiness, she couldn't bear the thought of making Minji sad. Y/N didn't want to be the reason someone didn't get to experience the same love she had. She was a people-pleaser, and it was something she couldn't help.

Sungho was far from dumb. He could sense that his lover was slowly but surely slipping away from him. He was bewildered and demanded answers. Why was she drifting away from him? Had he done something wrong? Was she annoyed with him and giving him the cold shoulder? None of it made sense to him. He had not acted poorly in recent days, and you started ignoring him on that day, the day where #mingho was created. Sungho finally wrapped his mind around it. He wonders if your behavior towards him was driven by jealousy. Did you deliberately ignore him for that reason? But you weren't the type to be jealous over a stupid Twitter hashtag right? Well technically the whole uni are aware about this #mingho shenanigans.. Great, he messed up.

Sungho pants as he takes a breather finally catching up to you. He calls out, trying to get your attention. You removed one of the earplugs blocking your hearing as you turn around, taking a look at him. "Sungho?"

Sungho's face is pale, and he looks like he has seen a ghost. You hurriedly hand him a bottle of water from your bag, him drinking it in one go. Seeing him finishing the drink you spoke again, "You know you shouldn't call me pet names around the university. People will know we're datin—"

chuu!!

before you can finish your sentence, Sungho cuts you off in a chaste kiss, him slowly pulling away with a smug look on his face.

"Sungho!" you hit his shoulders right after your brain finishes registering what he just did.

"What?" he replies, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Get lost."

Sungho smiles sweetly and intertwines his hand with yours.

"How could you get rid of this beauty?" he gives you a wink, a teasing smile visible on his face.

"Narcissistic bitch" you mutter jokingly at him, giving him the side eye before cracking to giggles.

"Tch, Jealousy is a disease"

"shit" a curse leaves your lips upon seeing the notification.

"something wrong?" sungho eyed eyed you worriedly, before diverting his attention back to stirring the meal on the stove.

"it's nothing"

"you sure?"

"im sure" you gave him a small smile, thinking of a way on how to reply to the message.

"100% sure yeah?" sungho asks one more time in a more lively tone this time.

you chuckle assuring him one more time "100% sure love"

"okay... if you say so" sungho's rest his hand on his hip, focusing on the meal.

"sungho babe?" you ask him, waiting for a response from the latter.

"yes love?" sungho turn around showing you a comforting smile.

"hmm do you recon seeing anyone when you met me this morning?"

"well .."

...

"i think so?"

"who is it" you tilt your head unknowingly, curious on who watched both of your lovey dovey moments earlier in the day.

".. minji ..?"

"minji.." you repeats his words to yourself, gathering yourself togheter.

"everything alright love?" sungho turns off the stove, making his way to you carresing your cheeks softly.

you nod your head, quickly changing the topic.

"Let's just talk about something else"

"you took a picture of me when i was asleep???!!!" sungho gasp dramatically, covering his mouth with a hand.

"yups and i just uploaded it!" you beam proudly, showing him your phone.

"oh you're soo done!" sungho hurriedly opens his phone, opening twitter instantly forming an evil payback.

"ehh.. babe i think you should, umm open your twitter..." sungho chuckles loudly, watching you open your phone.

"huh?" your thumb hover over the application's logo as the red icon indicating notifications continue to add its numbers.

'so many notifications ..'

and you clicked it. regretting every single second of it.

"oh my goodness sungho!"

sungho let out a fit of giggle, pinching your cheek "yes i know.."

"what should i do..!" you whine, burying your face deeper into his chest.

"just.. accept it..?" he spoke before his chest was meet with your fist.

"ow! hey you, that's mean!"

Scene.

Alastor antlers are stuck in the Railing and he can't get them out.

Everyone else is down outside.

Charlie " Oh gosh Alastor are you ok"?

Alastor" I have my antlers Stuck in this damn Railing cause I was trying to get to your father and I can't even get out. OF COURSE IM NOT OK"!

He sees Angel with his phone and groans. " Angel I swear to Lucifer",

Lucifer " What do you swear to me"?

Alastor" Nothing you moron it's a phrase.

Lucifer crosses arms " hmmph"

Alastor" Angel you better not be filming this".

Angel" Don't worry I'm not. But your totally trending on Sinstragram.

Alastor stops struggling " Wait what"?!

Angel" Yeah Vox just posted a video I think he is watching us".

Alastor looks and sees a camera " of course he is. What does say"?

Angel" Vox says Hashtag Bambi getting Railed". Angel burst out laughing.

Alastor blushes" Well you tell him umm Hashtag im going to pound your ass till you can't walk when I get out of here". Starts struggling again.

Angel frowns " You sure you want me to say that"?!

Alastor " Yes do it"!

Angel " ok here". Says what Alastor told him too.

Vox messages back.

Angel" Umm Vox says don't make promises you can't keep".

Alastor" Wait he wants me to pound him"? " Umm send back no seriously take off the video or Im going to pound him".

Angel sends that to vox. Vox messages back again.

Angel " ok this time he said now he definitely doesn't want to delete it and he has asked if he could bring his favorite toy"?.

By now Alastor is beyond confused. " Just hold let me pull out here damn this embarrassing" he calms down and his antlers shrink. He shadows to Angel dust.

Alastor reads Vox message and blinks. " Umm why does he want to bring a toy does he want to be pounded by that"?!

Angel" Hold on let me ask him". Angel types to Vox. Angel" Vox says yes please this is my favorite dream come true".

Alastor" Tell him he has weird dreams and to come here so I can pound him and get this over with. Lucifer my head hurts ".

Lucifer " well what do you want me to do about it".

Alastor " AGAIN IT IS A SAYING I AM NOT ACTUALLY TALKING TO YOU"!

Lucifer 🖕

Angel" I told Vox and he said he will down here in a few".

Alastor " good fine whatever"!.

Later on the Hazbin hotel gets a knock on the door. Alastor opens the door to see Vox in Sexy lingerie

Vox" Hey Bambi Daddy I'm here to get pounded" shows sex toy.

Alastor face.

Basically he does his radio feedback in this gif.

Alastor slams the door shut and runs to his bedroom. Vox is knocking angry. " HEY YOU PROMISE TO POUND ME NOW GET DOWN HERE AND FULFILL YOUR PROMISE"!

Alastor yells " I MEANT BEAT YOU UP NOT THAT KIND OF POUNDING 😫😫"

Charlie " I'm sorry vox it's never going to happen though could I borrow your lingerie it's for Vaggie".

Vaggie 😳

Vox " Sure " takes it off. Alastor comes back down for a second to see Vox naked. " AHHHHHH THIS IS WORST NIGHTMARE COME TRUE".

Vox " that makes two of us I thought you were going to pound me".

Alastor " AHHHHHHH". runs to his room.

Vox snaps some clothes on himself and leaves.

Let's just say Alastor didn't leave his room for 7 days 😂😂😂😂

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!!!!

Rules/Guidelines for commissions:

- Can be NSFW however I won’t do anything too graphic that could trigger me or get me in trouble.

- VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: I CANNOT DRAW PEOPLE. So please don’t ask me to draw people I genuinely can’t.

- I will take collage commissions and abstract art commissions, and maybe other forms of art if I can make it.

- If you are asking for a collage please give me a theme or a general idea. If you don’t like a certain part of a collage I wont mind changing it, just specify what you want changed and what you want instead.

- If you are asking for abstract, you will have to specify what type of abstract you want. It could be shapes, scribbles, funny and creepy looking creatures (I make those too), but you need to tell me what you want. Be as specific as possible. Please keep in mind that I can’t necessarily change much since I can’t exactly read your mind on what you want exactly but I will do my best to make it good!

- I will also take generic wallpaper commissions as long as it’s something that I can make. If it’s something that I cant do (people, animals, most plants unless i drew them in simple designs), then I may not be able to make it.

- PLEASE DONT ASK ME TO MAKE SOMETHING I AM UNCOMFORTABLE WITH. So nothing with heavy gore or triggering topics. I’m okay with vent collages though.

I may make exceptions to some of these guidelines or change them as I get better at art again but for now this is what I will have laid out.

Anyways here’s our DNI (simplified):

- NSFW blogs

- Anti self dx

- Blogs faking disorders

- Blogs starting unnecessary drama

- Don’t interact with us if you have hurt us before and we have yet to forgive you

- Misinformation blogs. Keep your smooth brain OFF MY PAGE.

If you really need help, there are helplines available. If you want someone to talk to, please go elsewhere or send a DM instead of sending us an ask or commenting on our posts publicly

Sasnak City - a different view

I will never encourage you enough to read the whole comments' thread of a post you liked. Otherwise, it's blink and you'll miss it, as I almost missed the only feedback of the Sasnak City event we have on this side of the spectrum: @rosfrank's. She graciously agreed to let me repost them and I truly thank her for the kindness.

Her comments were made under two different posts, so I collated them and vetted their content as much as I could, given the unprecedented context of the SAG-AFTRA strike and the scarcity of details. I did not watch the recap on Instagram, because I am not a fan of the format.

I had no idea Sasnak City was a consistent partner of the Camp Encourage for autistic children project. At least since 2020, as a very superficial Google search shows:

...in 2020, with RR...

... in 2022....

What is Camp Encourage?

This:

Do you have any idea of what it is to be the mother of an autistic child? I don't have this honor. I have never been through the stress and the pain of looking for the right solution, for the good therapist. I never had to swallow my impotent tears and fight with the angel, fruitlessly asking myself why did it happen to me.

I can assure you that career, money and the white picket fence house which mortgage you just paid off do not matter. Not when you wait dejected, with your well-garnished checkbook and no hope in sight, until the good doctor will finally see you. Not when your child is a desperately inaccessible fortress. Not when you tell yourself you just can't take it anymore and yet miraculously find out that yes, you eventually can, over and over and over again.

Before judging, you might want to take a moment.

Side note: the man who supposedly is not good with kids interacted with the organizer's autistic son. On stage (try and take an autistic person out of their comfort zone, anyone?). Oh. What an inconvenient truth, again.

Different figures circulate. I think this is pretty close to reality and also to the 'small and personal fan convention format'. Not sure it made anybody rich overnight, after you deduce all the costs - part of proceeds went to the above charity, anyways. Zealots would like more transparency, perhaps. With which moral authority?

Second bone of contention and a particularly unsavory one, at that, the disrespect of the SAG-AFTRA's strike rules:

What was I telling you, the other day?

As for the limbo, I cannot believe no one bothered to look around a bit for confirmation. On Facebook, for example:

They did their due diligence homework. This announcement was posted on July 14, 2023, with a solidarity with the strike hashtag to boot. Propaganda? Hypocrisy? Oh, give me a break. It is legally impeccable.

There you go. No mention of the show anywhere - check. Screened questions - check. Only the SS paraphernalia (pics, etc) supplied - check. Books still ok for autographs (at S's discretion to go ahead or not, which means SAG-AFTRA is ok with, by the way) - check. Make lemonade when life gives you lemons and 'be creative' - check.

Where is the problem? Why certain sleuthing skills suddenly vanish when it's about formulating a balanced, reasonable POV?

Let me guess. It's all about the "go away, ugly socks, your story sucks" syndrome. Oh.

You'd wish, duckies. You'd wish.

I am not these people's lawyer. Playing Atticus Finch completely ceased to interest me sometime around 1998 AD. I even doubt we can stand each other IRL, for reasons. But I am not discussing people, here. I am discussing and debunking a homespun web of self-righteous lies.

Thank you, @rosfrank. Your gesture was generous and very, very brave.

Thoughts on Collective Readings, and how to tell if it was "meant for you".

Social Media Algorithms

Not every tarot reading you will see is inherently meant for you-- even if they say something like "no hashtags, if this is meant to find you it will find you". Social media algorithms show you what they think you might be interested in-- and that's effected by what you are currently going though in life.

Think of how insanely targeted ads can get-- even if sometimes they are wrong. Think of how specific some platforms "for you", "explore", "home", etc. homepages can get. With this in mind-- was that reading really cosmically destined to find you, or are social media algorithms just doing what they do best--predicting what you might want to see, and predicting what you might want to interact with?

This is why certain kinds of readings-- usually with very positive or very negative interpretations, rarely with neutral interpretations-- blow up so quickly. It's why career, betrayal, and love readings get so popular/spread so far. It's why "like to claim"-esque readings get so popular-- they interact with the algorithm in a way that says "hey, this content is popular, push it as far as it will go. The people who see this content make the effort to interact with it, which must mean it is good and will keep people engaged".

Now that that's covered, how can you tell if a reading is really

meant for you?

Well, you might not like the answer. The best answer is discernment/intuition. The inherent knowledge, the deep feeling, "yes, this is meant for me."

But if you are a newer witch, or someone who doesn't have strong intuition, this answer is absolutely unhelpful. Generally, people who rely on collective readings probably don't have the ability to read for themselves. Or they don't have confidence in their own abilities.

So, if that's the case, what can you do?

Some short term solutions are:

Look for key words and phrases

Look for signs and symbols that are specific to you. Sometimes, some people who do collective readings will include a list of hyper-specific things like "Yellow rainboots after recent rainfall" or "Ripe plums from an orchard"-- this is fairly rare though, and for a good reason. It's difficult and rare to be gifted enough to be able to pull out specific images like that. Usually, people will use much more general "signs" like angel numbers or zodiac signs-- which, personally I am skeptical of, because it is general enough to apply to most of the population... especially when a reader lists over half the zodiac as being who the reading is "meant for".

Basically, the more general the sign is, the more skeptical of it I would be-- unless it is something very near and dear to you. Something general like "111" is something common to see in passing-- but if it is somehow deeply important to you, like you've seen that number during every important life event-- then yeah, maybe it is a sign.

As for key phrases, maybe the reading is a normal, general reading. Nothing remarkable-- and then, the reader says a specific phrase. Something that you've been seeing/hearing everywhere, including under odd circumstances. Maybe you saw it on a billboard, heard in on a radio, had a family member say it, etc.-- the phrase has basically been haunting you. And then here this general reading is-- repeating the same concept. Maybe it is a sign.

Don't be afraid to ask for clarification

If you feel like something might have been meant for you, and you would like to know more, you have options.

Perform a reading for yourself

Hire someone to do a reading specifically for you

If you worship deities, pray to them and ask for clarification (same concept can also apply to ancestors, spirits you work with, "the universe" as a concept, etc.)

Set the intention that if this is a sign FOR YOU, you will see it again. (But keep in mind how social media algorithms work-- you'll probably see similar concepts in the future. Look for repeated messages outside of social media platforms, as much as you might keep a skeptical eye out for similar readings on the same platform)

Keep an eye on the details

Do the details closely match your life? Does it line up with a likely occurrence? Can you rule out the possibility that it's just "what you want to hear"?

Ex) (almost) everyone wants to hear that they'll suddenly and effortlessly come into abundance. It's very easy to convince yourself that this good thing-- or misfortune-- is meant for you because it is either something you want to happen or something that you dread happening.

Another great example are the "You'll leave a terrible job for better opportunities"-- How many hundreds upon thousands of people leave their job every day? If you weren't already actively planning & working towards leaving your job... its just wishful thinking. That reading was probably not meant for you.

Long Term Solutions

Work towards developing your intuition and your own method of divination. Remember: There are way more divinatory tools and practices out there than just tarot cards (or other common methods). Don't feel like you have to take the common path if it is not something that resonates with you. Some readers offer readings specific to what forms of divination you might excel at-- that's one place to start (but is entirely unnecessary. You can find that information for yourself, so don't feel like you need to do this. This is just one of many options.)

As for the folks who can read for themselves, but lack confidence-- find a way to build that confidence up. Something that works for some people is doing daily/weekly/monthly readings. Maybe you could do readings for your friends. Or specifically practice with your deities/ancestors/spirit guides/etc. Hell, you can even ask them directly to help you build your confidence in this matter. Maybe they'll send you signs more often, or something similar, so that you can practice.

You'll hear this phrase semi-often when it comes to collective readings. The core concept of it is, "not everything that finds you is meant for you, and sometimes only part of the reading is meant for you." This is often where intuition comes into play, but you can also just think it through.

I am a stupidly easy example of this. I enjoy watching/reading collective readings from time to time. Sometimes part of the reading will resonate, but then it will go into ye old "A new romantic relationship is on the horizon" territory. And here is the thing... I am extremely aromantic. A "romantic relationship" for me is as likely as growing wings-- I am sure it'd be nice, but it's not going to happen. So, if anything comes across your feed with that level of "yeah, no" that part of the reading would logically not be for you. "Take what resonates, leave what doesn't."

Your intuition-- or signs, symbols, etc.-- may lead you to listen to part of a reading. Doesn't mean that the whole thing has to be for you, and does not mean that you need to act on it. As always, you have free will. You can do what you wish, and it's not some rando's job to dictate how you live your life. Be sensible, and be sane, and don't quit a stable job because some random reader says you'll win the lottery tomorrow.

An Angel

Miles Miller x reader

a/n: yo so, my friend and I watch “Bad times at the el royale” together and it was really good! I love the movie! Anyway I was disappointed to see there isn’t really anything written for Miles under his hashtags. But some of the newer post have like 90- 300 likes so I don’t think the hashtag is dead. I really wanted to read something for him but quickly ran out of fics. So I decided to write what I would want to read for his character. It’s been bugging me all day so I’m finally writing it! Enjoy! 💕

No smut on this but if anyone wanted a part 2 that is just smut I can do that.

minors DNI

TW: blood, cult shenanigans, violence, Miles poor tortured soul, this is as dark as the movie, 1960’s shitty culture, oh and also cursing

When Y/N first pulled up to The El Royale, she never expected to be in this situation.

Sure when she first got here she felt uneasy, but it was the only hotel for 10 miles and she was getting to sleepy to be behind the wheel.

But instead of sleeping in her California room, she was walking to the main lobby with a gun held to her skull.

A hippie and man and woman had broke open her door and held a gun to her chest. She really had no choice to follow them.

At first she thought this was a robbery, she wasn’t gonna risk her life for her purse so she followed along where they were yelling for her to go. But as she walked into the lobby and saw a gambling table with the other guests and the front desk clerk tied to chairs while a man with an open shirt taunted them, she knew it was more than that.

The man turned around with a wicked grin. “Howdy,” he turned back to his hostages “look here we found us a new player!” He smiled. “Boots why don’t you tie her up and she can sit where Emily was hmm.” He shouted to the California side of the room.

A teenage girl that couldn’t have been more than 15, wearing red boots, came out from behind the jukebox and pulled a chair over.

Y/N was shoved in the detection of the table and to the open chair. As she hung her head low, in fear of meeting the mans gaze, she gasped in horror when she saw Emily’s dead body.

Emily barley introduced herself to Y/N, when she had laughed at the “Fuck You” on the Ledger.

“Sit” the man behind her said as she reached the chair.

Y/N complied and felt ropes wrap around her waist and hands.

“Oh, how rude of me!” The leader, she assumes, speaks again. “I haven’t introduced myself yet. Terrible edict I know.” He smiled as he leaned down to Y/N’s level. “I’m Billy Lee. I’m assuming you must the the Miss. Y/L/N right?”

“Yes sir.” She replied shortly, fighting back tears. She had never been this frighten in her life.

Y/N heard a whimper next to her, she snapped her head to the side, looking at the other guest.

The clerk’s, Miles, face was bleed and one side, with what appears to be tiny bullet holes. He had a cloth tied to around his mouth to keep him from talking but his sobs were very audible.

The women, Darlene, was missing her wig and Father Flynn had a cut on the top of his head, not nearly as bad as Miles though.

Billy Lee snapped his head “Kid if you don’t stop I’m gonna make you play again.” Miles immediately shut up and glanced at Y/N.

Billy Lee turned back to Y/N before a wide grin grew across his face. “So Y/N, tell me” He leaned closer “why are you here? How are you mixed up in this?”

“I’m not mixed up in anything! I don’t know what going on.” Y/N practically sobbed. She had never seen a dead person before but now she’s sitting right next to one.

Billy Lee didn’t seem to believe her. “You really think that theirs nothing suspicious about you being all friendly with Emily.” He narrowed his eyes. “Did you help Emily try to steal what’s mine?”

“what?” Y/N asked unsure of what he meant.

“Did you help Emily take Boots from me?” He asked getting angrier as his grip on his gun got tighter.

“No. No I didn’t” Y/N cried.

Billy Lee cocked his gun and held it to her face. “ I don’t believe you”

Y/N started shaking in her chair and she sobbed. “ I didn’t! I didn’t! Please! I didn’t! I just met Emily! I didn’t do anything!” She screamed as she cried leaning away from the gun.

She already felt dead. She felt like there was no other option. She was a deadman.

She begged for her life for 30 more seconds before Billy Lee smirked and turned his head to Miles.

“Well, Captain pervert? Did she seem to know Emily? Did you see her talking to her through the mirrors?” He asked.

Miles violently shakes his head no.

Father Flynn spoke up. “She wasn’t involved with the money either. She’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Is that true?” Billy Lee asked with a fake pout.

“yes! Yes! It’s true!” Y/N sobbed.

Billy Lee lowered the gun and smile at her before punching her right across the face.

“ Tell the truth!” He roared in her face making her cry more.

She could feel the blood dripping down her nose and lips. She tried but she couldn’t get the words out. She sobbed until he punched her again, knocking her out cold.

————————-

When she woke up she was laying on the ground still tied to her chair.

She looked around as her vision came back to her. She saw fire and broken glass. The table had been flipped and gunshots were going off.

She squeezed her eyes closed trying to think of something happy but nothing came to mind.

All of a sudden there was the screaming of the teenage girl, and more gunshots.

Y/N felt hands on her and opened her eyes dreading the worst but was met will the eyes of Father Flynn.

He cut the ropes around her wrist and waist and moved on to help Darlene.

Miles walked back to the group with the rifle in his hand. As he walked towards the little girl.

She watched as his face changed from stone to immediate regret. He put his hands on her shoulders and repeated how sorry he was.

Father Flynn, who she was beginning to think wasn’t really a priest, grabbed the gun and followed behind him quietly.

The little girl turned around and tried to shove a knife in Miles stomach but Father Flynn shot her before she could pierce his skin.

Darlene shouted for them to get out as the building was starting to come down.

Miles grabbed Y/No’s arm and pulled her with him through the door and out to the parking lot.

Y/N was dragged through the parking lot into a car. Father Flynn and Darlene took the front seat while Miles shoved her into the back with him. He helped her click on her seatbelt and quickly did his with shaky hands.

As Flynn sped away from the hotel, everyone kept their eyes ahead of them, afraid of what they had just witnessed.

[thelegoninjagomovie]

Oh? You'd like to discuss Misako Montgomery Garmadon of whom I love a lot? Let's go!!!

I'll start if u don't mind; I think she's actually an epic mom and ppl who hate her don't realize the writers cannot fucking write women at all in the slightest and actually she loves Lloyd and she's an epic mom !!!

i already KNOW this is going to get long so i’m throwing this under a cut lol

SO. i agree VERY MUCH WITH THIS STATEMENT. you can tell if you rewatch ninjago that they had no clue what they wanted misakos character to be. she definitely suffered the most from the “ninjago was originally 2 seasons” thing. by the time they figured out her character (which to me is s13) it was too late for her :(. also people who think she hates her son are so funny. so many ninjago fans cannot separate their own projections onto characters from canon so they just make up the most random bullshit about characters they don’t like. there’s more i’d say about this but i’d actually be kicking a hornets nest.

i’ve said this before but i REALLY think misakos character would’ve benefited so much from a sad backstory. i love the idea of her having a terrible mother and the whole breaking the cycle of abuse we could’ve had it all….. like the idea of misakos mom being what ppl think misako is would have been the best ever to me. her own mother not liking her and thinkjng she’s an inconvenience and getting in the way of her career is SOOOOO *kissy noise* the only thing i’d change would be her mother leaving her somewhere. personally i’d make it where misako ran away or got lost and her mom was like “aw :(. anyways!” and never bothered to look for her. think billy batson from shazam but less sympathetic for the mother character.

i actually wish they had made misako silly…. like another reason i feel like her character suffered is bc they were so insistent on making her a female wu that it feels like she isn’t even her own character sometimes. like the wise mentor trope is cool but im so over making every female character the hashtag epic girlboss. but if they were so insistent on making her a wise mentor why the FACK didn’t they ever use this or bring this up?????????

i’ve rewatched ninjago from beginning to end like 5 times and i swear they NEVER mention this once. like other than misako giving nya some advice here and there they never show misako actually. MENTORING nya. which makes no sense bc we the audience know that misako is capable of teaching fighting skills and wisdom. ninjago is very much a ‘tell don’t show’ type of show and misakos character suffers because of it so much :’(

i’ve said this once but misako and cecil SHOULDVE BEEN SIBLINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know some ppl prefer the exs route or just them having always not liked each other which i can see but come onnnnnnn. cecil literally looks like if they had to make a guy misako. you know stitch and the pink thing that looks like stitch but a Girl. that’s misako and cecil but siblings bc yes i know that stitch and angel the pink one are dating.

do you see my vision. also i know this wouldn’t make sense also is kinda stupid but dr julien as the hidden third sibling. literally only so misako can be a middle child. imagine lloyd having to call this mf uncle cecil.

misako should’ve had more screentime with lloyd that’s a given but i think she should’ve had more screentime with the ninja in general. would’ve loved to see her chillax with them also the idea of her going in an adventure with them would be fun *stares at secrets of the forbidden spinjitzu fire chapter*

uhhhhhh what else what else…. OH yeah autistic misako is real af forever.

OH YEAH ok i just remembered what i was going to say i think ppl who think misako is like. really uptight and would yell at lloyd over little things over even at all are so baffling. girl how did you even come to that conclusion. she would be his number one supporter she literally owns a sweater/hoodie with his face on his. love that for her.

the ronin misako dareth friendship was interesting. it could’ve been cool but writers decided to immediately drop it. but also i think it was really weird?? the ronin misako part anyways because they put that in after shadow of ronin so that makes it so awkward to me lol. no clue how shadow of ronin did so maybe they just chose to ignore it but knowing what happened in that game makes it so funny in a really awkward way

season 9 was great that scene where misako tells lloyd to leave her behind…… ough. would’ve loved to see her interact with the other elemental masters a bit more but i’ll take what we got.

ALRIGHT i’m actually out of things to talk about rn so i hope u enjoyed reading all of that. thank you for letting me be autistic about my best friend in the world misako.

Do agents feel strongly either way about mentioning in a query that your novel is semi-autobiographical? I'm querying an ownvoices disabled YA novel. The story is very different from my own life, but obviously the disability rep is from lived experience. If a line in my query says "this novel is #ownvoices and was inspired in part by my own experiences living as a teen with [disability]," is this okay, or should I leave it out?

I can't speak for ALL AGENTS, obviously. For myself, well, there's like three different things going on in this question, so let me try and sort it out:

If your novel is actually semi-autobiographical, then certainly you can/should say so, if you want to, and if that's interesting. However, I would not consider "inspired by your own experiences living with x-disability" to necessarily be the same thing as "semi-autobiographical"? It COULD be, but to me, semi-autobiographical means more than just the character is based on you, the story is, too. For example, my client Phoebe Wahl wrote an illustrated YA novel based on her own teenage diaries. It's fictionalized -- she changed names to protect the innocent and altered/condensed some timelines and whatnot so it would make more sense as a story -- but it's very much literally based on her actual diary. My client Jane Kuo wrote a MG novel in verse about a girl immigrating from Taiwan to a suburb of Los Angeles in the 80s and working in her parent's restaurant, and then a sequel about being undocumented. It's not her exact story -- it's fiction! -- but it's very much based on her real life experiences. Those, to me, are semi-autobiographical. So if THAT'S what your book is, fine to use that if you want to, but otherwise, I wouldn't.

I also think the term/hashtag "#ownvoices" has fallen out of general use, for a variety of reasons. I probably would not use that hashtag, it just seems very "several-years-ago" ish.

That said, in MY opinion, it's totally fine and probably a good idea to say, either at the end of your description of the book, or in your author bio, "Mia's story in GREATBOOK is in part inspired in part by my own experiences living as a teen with [disability]" or something like that. Because if, say, the story is a story about a Deaf teenager (for example), it would be nice to know that you, the author, is knowledgable in a first-hand way about the experiences of a Deaf teenager. Obviously you don't know EVERY Deaf teenager's deal -- but you are much more likely to write authentically about the topic than somebody who hasn't got that lived experience, and I do think agents will be curious, so if you don't tell them, I'd expect they might ask.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 263

Rock Never Dies/Hell Bent

“Rock Never Dies”

Plot Description: Castiel and Crowley close in on Lucifer as the fallen angel realizes his new rock-star vessel allows him to get fans to do whatever he wants

This is such a huge “ask and you shall receive,” but as I thought harder on it last night, didn’t Rowena banish Lucifer to the bottom of the ocean after decaying his body a whole bunch?? How is he back already??

Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: I would not try to summon Lucifer, I’m good

I was promised Castiel, why are we getting Dean playing Words With Friends??

The boys really do stick to small towns and whatnot. It’s gonna be weird seeing them in LA

It’s bad that you have to lie to Dean saying you’re listening to a podcast on the Protestant reformation just so you can MAYBE listen to your hair metal band (that Dean hates) in peace

You leave Castiel and his one outfit alone, Dean. You have, like, 10 and they ALL make you look like a lumberjack. Hashtag team cas

Poor Castiellllll, he’s so over working with Crowley

Oh, Cas…can’t tell the difference between the aftermath of a fight and the aftermath of a rockstar ~spending time~ with a groupie

Apparently, sometimes it does pay to have Crowley on your team. You get perspectives you never thought you would that way

How did Castiel get in with Vince/Lucifer’s band mates? The Winchesters are posing as a band themselves to Vince’s PR person, Crowley has a deal with a guy in the music industry….but Cas??

(There was a lot of just trying to get to the concert that happened that wasn’t too interesting)

I don’t wanna watch Lucifer beat the shit out of Cas and Crowley…

Ok but Sam being the one thing standing between the crowd getting out and Lucifer locking them in the venue with him??? And then Lucifer locking Sam in the venue with him???????

I AM here for Castiel beating the shit out of Lucifer and getting to repeat his “Hey, assbutt!” line

Sometimes you pause at the exact right time

Well, that didn’t last long

Ok but like…………sympathy for the devil has gone way up again “he finally apologizes for abandoning me, and what’s the very next thing he dies? Ditches me” luciiiiiiii, babyyyyyyyy. He’s really having an existential crisis and spiraling into a very “nothing fucking matters” mindset

Did Horikoshi watch supernatural when coming up with Dabi? Lucifer is really breaking down all while saying that his whole plan is to just keep breaking everything his dad created

Jesus, Crowley, you look terrible

“Hell Bent”

Plot Description: the Doctor faces the Time Lords in a struggle that will take him to the end of time

I don’t know why we’re starting in this sort of random and almost certainly fake scene between the Doctor and Clara in a 50s style diner (or not really Clara)

I know he’s on Gallifrey now but I truly do t know what’s going on

This poor Gallifrean woman who keeps getting hassled by the military and high council all while the Doctor refuses to see them…til the high council’s leader comes calling

Oooooo!!!! The Doctor telling the Gallifrean president “get off my planet.”

Ok, so not Clara and the Doctor is happening in some sort of real time and everything on Gallifrey is in the recent-ish past

Ok…I’m probably gonna Gonzo and Rizzo when the ghost of Christmas yet to come showed up, but more out of confusion than fear

Well cuz now I’m wondering if the Hybrid IS the Doctor. I know he said he was, but what about Clara? Clara who we met as Oswin in the Dalek asylum, who kept so much of her humanity while being a Dalek…whose very continued existence as the Doctor tries to save her even know could fracture all of time

We already knew I love the Daleks but hearing this one yelling out “exterminate me” is heartbreaking

Did Clara ever come up against the angels? Why would she know what to do in their presence??

I’m not ready to hear the Doctor’s answer to how long it’s been since he last saw Clara.

I’m shattered at the Doctor not telling her, Clara had to ask someone else…and it was 4.5 billion years. 4.5 BILLION. YEARS. of running and solving the puzzle and dying and reincarnating, trying to claw his way out of the confessional dial just for the chance to maybe save his best friend’s life. I am a wreck

Ohhhhhh, Doctor, you really shouldn’t have been alone so long. This is just like at the end of Ten’s time. He really believes he is the end all be all of time and existence, that he answers to no one because we’re at the last dying embers of the universe.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH FOUR KNOCKS????

Not Arya is also here at the end of time.

What?? I’m ngl I’m getting a little lost in all the “who/what is the Hybrid?” theories they’re tossing around

I hate watching them say goodbye AGAIN.

Why does the Doctor and a companion who was his BEST FRIEND always have to end in a memory wipe for one of them???? There’s an emptiness and yet i can’t stop crying

Wait… is this the diner from the impossible astronaut? Is he remembering incorrectly? I knew it looked familiar

Oh, she returned his TARDIS to himmmm

I’d love to have a mini series of Clara and Not Arya’s adventures on their way to Gallifrey…

Oh thank god he has a sonic screwdriver again

[lorynna]

I have some thoughts/questions I ask myself, that I'd like to share with the radfem community. I have not been able to answer these for myself yet.

I am still so undecided about this topic of when I see a TIM that puts a huge effort into their appearance and there are some cases (most in which they started hormone blockers and estrogen early in puberty) where you could meet them in person and would not be able to tell that they are male.

Of course I get the hypocrisy of this video where a male is trying to explain to another male that he is not "woman" enough. But isn't it also hypocrisy switching from calling a TIM a she (because they passed so well you couldn't tell) to a he, the moment you find out? - general question, not in reference to this because I think you can still pretty much tell here.

I find that I sympathize way more with TIMs that actually put an effort into their appearance to seem like a woman, even when it's heavy make-up, long nails, extensions, fake lashes, hyper feminine clothing and god knows what more, than their counterparts like the man with the beard in the first part of the video who is not trying at all and expecting to be addressed as a woman. That's what they see being presented in the media of how women are and how they present themselves. It makes sense to me that they would not dress in unisex clothing, not do make-up or everything they deem as feminine because their view of womanhood is warped the same way as many women's when it comes to beauty etc. and in their mind it is the first time they feel like they can finally try all of it. Same with Blaire White, I do not see him as a "female" or a woman in that matter and yes, he has also had mysogynistic takes, but overall his takes on transgenderism show me that there are some people more or less capable of logic, that do condemn gender ideology but just have such an intense case of gender disphoria that they chose to go down this path. Another example would be Buck Angel.

Especially in cases of TIFs even when they start their journey after puberty they almost always pass as males, because of testosterone. Be honest, would you be able to tell Buck Angel is a female? Because I am saying I couldn't. And that's the twist, how does it make sense to refer to them as their sexed pronouns when they look so differently? I catch myself calling Blaire a she often or Buck a he. Still, a real sex transition isn't possible and you will always be male or female regardless of surgeries or appearance, you will always have been socialized either male or female and I recognize this even after their transition. TIMs are overall from I have witnessed still so arrogant, self-indulgent and have a lot of audacity, whereas TIFs are rather compromising, do not want a lot of attention and would not threaten people misgendering them with violence or rape. Rape is a male crime and the amount if TIMs I have seen on this page, a lot of them under the specific hashtag "terfbreaking" etc....

Of course I criticize the trans movement, it seems overall nonsensical to me, and it's linked closely to gender ideology which I strongly condemn. Just sometimes I ask myself what does the radfem community think is the right treatment for someone with strong gender disphoria, which is medically recognized? For all I know therapy was tried but apparently it does not work as well as a "transition" until their (in this case) specific biological markers / indicators of their sex like a beard, Adam's apple, deep voice, penis etc. are gone and replaced with markers that look the closest to what a female biologically would have, like breasts, a vagina, smooth face, female features overall.

The only thing is, disphoria seems to be of different intensity from person to person. Someone might go through all of their surgeries, someone might only do it partly. (Not talking about the cases in which a male might transition because it arouses him, also not talking about children being fed hormone blockers or cross sex hormones.. another topic)

And yes,regardless of how many surgeries a male can never be a female and a female could never be a male and patients awaiting a "transition" should never be given the illusion that they could be and compared to body dismorphia where a patient does not recognize their leg being part of their body and wants it removed, it is weird that we deny the request there but affirm it in the case of gender disphoria. Also adding that those surgeries come with a great risk of infection or life long issues, not even talking about the hormones yet.

Are their any good, reliable studies on the effects of therapy in regards to gender disphoria compared to a "transition" or studies on gender disphoria itself? If you have any please send them to me.

Yeah, I guess this was most of me just rambling, I hope that maybe some of you want to reply or show me your side of thoughts and if you at some point had the same questions and how you answered it for yourself. Would help a great deal because I'm not making progress on these.

I suggest everyone takes a look at her tik tok

I love the way she does not bullshit or cut corners when it comes to talking about issues in the trans community

What do y’all think?

Thinking of physical confrontation is a bit of an overreaction?Taekookers are acting up because they are now getting taekook content.It is higly unlikely anyone from that group will hurt JK or Jimin.Specially when JK is half of their preferred ship.Also on twitter more Tae fans fight on behalf of Jimin against Taekookers than Jimin fans do for Tae against Jikookers.No one is physically attacking anyone.

This type of inflammatory remarks and overreaction should be reserved in thoughts only.

Excuse me, Nonie, but no, absolutely NOT. Now is exactly the time to raise the alarm.

I'm not sure which parts of Twitter you hang out on, that you can remain blissfully unaware and think the majority of Taekookers fight on behalf of Jimin or champion JK as half of their ship (instead of treating him like a prop), but why don't you join some JM and JK report accounts for a few weeks and take a good long look at the daily hate comments, death and rape wishes, stalking tips, and targeted attacks toward JM and JK fans? Stay on those accounts for at least a month so you can see how many Taekookers get suspended and then make new usernames and come right back on to keep doing it. The volume will shock you.

Now I would expect some cat-fighting online and for Taekookers to constantly comment on their ship on the Vlives. People are people. But unlike the other fanatics and shippers, unhinged Taekookers and Jimin-antis have:

--doxed Jimin's personal info online (a huge security risk)

--published photos and private info about Jimin's family members (invasion of privacy)

--bashed JK and Jimin in group chats and then campaigned online by trending the "Free Taekook" type hashtags (defamation, lies)

--paid serious money to fly to Korea and show up at the airport with "Taekook is Real" signs where the boys saw (proximity, extreme behavior)

And in an effort to prove their ship and out two supposedly closeted members, Taekookers have harassed:

--a child from a music video

--Tae's hairdresser

--a necklace maker

--a ring maker

--collaborating musicians and artists

--models on instagram

--models in Paris

--an actor whose partner died

--JK's brother

--JK's tattoo artists

That's just what I have seen as a very new Army and remember off the top of my head. I'm sure if I went digging, I'd find more.

And look, Jikookers aren't angels--there are assholes in every subset of humanity. Jimin, Tae, and JK deserve better from everyone. But no one else is doing this amount of sheer toxic crap. Don't equate what some asshole Jikookers say about Tae; there's no way it's on the same level. This isn't normal fan behavior. They don't just celebrate their ship. Big accounts keep whipping up anti-Jimin sentiment and false narratives about Tae and JK. They flat out LIE. And I and other Armys are telling you: it is escalating.

Three years ago, Taekook fans used to say things like "Jimin and JK are just doing fanservice; Tae and JK's relationship is real and not for the cameras." Which was rude but not insane. NOW, some Taekook fans go around saying things like "Jimin is a slutty fat pig, a no-talent whore leech, who brags about doing charity work to cover up dodging his taxes and his father's right-wing connections, all while he fucks Bongo for payola on his songs that he makes with rapists, and then he forces poor Tae to watch him use JK's body for fanservice to appeal to Korean Jikook fans for money."

This kind of fantastical bullshit goes round and round until more and more people start to believe some or all of it (or they stop fact-checking it and shutting it down because it's exhausting). It's not just defamatory, it's dangerous. It's right up there with the smear campaign that Hillary Clinton runs a child sex trafficking ring out of the basement of a pizza shop in DC. Folks laughed that off and said not to indulge such fantasies with attention, right up until a crazed patriot with a gun showed up to shoot up the place.

Am I saying FOR CERTAIN that antis and/or Taekook fans are going to attack a BTS member? No, of course not. I don't have a crystal ball. But I am saying their unacceptable behavior is escalating, and BEFORE it turns into orchestrated blackmail or becomes violent towards members or other fans who don't support the Taekook narrative, we all need to shut it down. The company, the members, Army, and other Taekookers especially need to work to shut it down.

There are crazy people in every fandom and always have been and it shouldn't be our responsibility to police their thoughts--but their actions reflect on all of us. And unfortunately a few psychos is all it takes to make a huge problem for everyone. This rabid subset of Taekookers are going from having feelings and opinions to having a faith narrative and taking invasive actions. So rather than sit around clutching our pearls or rolling our eyes or keeping our thoughts to ourselves, NOW is the time for Army to recognize the extent of the problem and actively call it out.

If after you do a bit more investigating into the dark side of BTS fandom, you still think I'm being inflammatory and uncalled for by raising red flags here--come off anon. Comment on this post. State for the record your defense of Taekookers. I'll bookmark it and circle back with you in a year. And if by then, everything died down on its own, and Taekookers didn't keep escalating their anti behavior, I will personally apologize for over-worrying and remove this post.

I hope I'm never too proud to admit it when I'm wrong. But Nonie? I'm not wrong. Our community needs to check this behavior before it gets so far out of hand that people get hurt. If that stance seems too controversial to you, it might be best we part ways here.

Just putting things into Brazili an fandom perspective. "He has a very toxic fandom", is the general term used in Brazil by casual Outlander fans (those who don't actually follow anything in depth), who certainly attend two big specific Outlander groups in Brazil (or was told by someone who are on them). To give you an idea, one of them we called Prometidolândia, it was the first Outlander group in the country and also the first to make it clear that shippers were not welcome. The second group (Antilandia) has Antis as Adm and went as far as to ridicule shippers in a live broadcast made with a famous page about entertainment in general (a moment that should have been used to exalt and publicize the show was used for nitpicking). The only general Outlander group in Brazil where shippers are not persecuted is Frasers Ridge Brasil. You can even create a shipper post, add a hashtag and moderation controls who is trying to mess and tell anyone who don't like the post, just keep scrolling (like any other post). I mention these three because they are the best known Outlander groups in the Country, there is another one also from Antis but it is not even that popular because it was created years after the others were established. These above are groups about the show and the books. SIS is a very famous group but is a specifically shipper group, and even being a shipper group, the girls are doing amazing work for the show and the books too.

Well, whoever accesses Prometidolandia and Antilandia (or have contact with someone from them) will read, see and hear just how toxic shippers are, how much we persecute the poor defenseless boy and his successive girlfriends (In fact, I would like to advise the Adms of these groups to make a fixed post , like a bulletin board with updates on new blondes, given the change in the boy's love life.). But, back to the subject, the “toxic fandom” argument always refers to our side.

Those who stay in hotels close to his house, those who spend three months in Scotland (because that's what they can do without a visa) and three in Brazil, just to be "close" to him, those who expose anyone who uses the hashtag mpc without being a member, those who decide to buy his mother's works just for stalker purposes or those who almost camp near where Cait lives to get a glimpse and a photo of her family life are not mentioned as toxic. And the ones who send very personal gifts also. None of these things were done by shippers, so they don't qualify as something toxic.

Recently someone who saw my photos from LandCon came to talk to me, she is a casual Outlander fan who has been watching since 2020 and since she doesn't know me because I almost never post on Facebook Outlander groups, she mentioned "the toxic side" and I tried to get deeper into the topic with her about the toxicity...the "information" she had all came from these groups...screencaps with all of our allegedly sins😜 . So I showed her (with screencraps too) other examples of toxicity that she knew nothing about. I also told her that I'm on the side that those people consider toxic, but when she had the opportunity to attend a Con, look closely who are the people who, when they meet Sam at these events, act politely towards him and don't treat him like meat ready for consumption...And also look closely the fans who do exactly the opposite of this. Then tell me which group of angels these last ones are in, since we are the toxic ones.

This changed her perspective towards the fandom, because she was no longer just repeating what people said, she had found other answers on the same topic in our conversations.

Another interesting point is : everyone who meets Sam with someone has several versions of the meeting, which are changed successively according to who shows up to talk to them in private. It must be some phenomenon caused by the depth of his blue eyes. We've had people before who, on the same day they met him, just posted a photo and spoke superficially about how wonderful the moment was.

And after the countless questions and attention received, these people followed something like this pattern:

At 7:00 pm they posted that he was with friends

7:05 pm he had a woman with him

7:10 pm they were just talking

7:20 pm certainly It was his girlfriend

7:30 pm wasn't sure about gf

7:40 pm had a deep conversation with him while was taking a photo.

07:45 pm he has a toxic fandom

07: 50 pm I respect his privacy

Some of them close the account to private after the mess of the 5 minutes of fame. I don't blame the fans because even Melissa the Storm, the journalist who announced Caits fengagement, did something like 10 versions of the same Instagram post in less than 24 hours.

Show must go on...

... and rather very much in your face, mind you.

Scottish Xena posted two stories at about 7 AM, counting calories, and, in the process, making sure to address roughly any objections that were ventilated on this side of the fandom, including this very page. See for yourself...

What are the odds she'd be talking about nutrition? Right. I am not an idiot. I know when something is way Over The Top - less is more, Xena. Less is always more: there was no need to overdo it like that, placemat and all, if you wanted to remain credible. You read us and you have been instructed to do so, just to perfectly stick to your walking, talking and very profitable Local Innuendo script.

Fair enough. And then, you also tell us that you will be at Hyrox today around noon, to film some ESN promo: your bread and butter, of course. S is just for shits, giggles and that Instagram yield:

So, there's that. *urv connecting dots like crazy, without having the slightest clue of what was discussed at that table. Her own brand of cheap fanfic for the masses, for the other five clowns commenting, out of which three at least are her own sock accounts.

Cue in the Useful Idiot. The Brazilian Tourist and Fan. Uma senhorita tão desagradável, who changed her story in between her first reaction reel and the debrief, back at her suburban Airbnb or where the fuck that was filmed.

First reaction reels:

'Just saw SH.' Not alone, oh no: 'com uma moça'. With a girl. So yeah, she had qualms asking for a pic.

First lie and dramatization. She posts a message for S where she explains she did not dare approach him, but she saw him alright. The one in Portuguese is completely different, though: 'I am going to post the video without sound, because I could only say "what a shame", while I was filming him on the sly. LOL.' I guess she thinks we are all idiots, or something. Also, in her reel, she confirms: 'ele estava almoçando com outra pessoa'/he was having lunch with another person. So far, so good, right?

Six hours later, a second debrief batch of reels, taking her reader's questions. The narrative changes, with a strong bias:

'Yes, he is super accessible and educated! I did not freak out, I just politely asked to take a pic (what I do consider the right way to approach famous people, at the end they are still human beings).'

For the people in the back: she is a lady. And a liar. The worst kind of liar, actually: a narcissistic one. Let's see what else she takes great pains telling us: 'ele tem um fandom bem tóxico'/he has a very toxic fandom. From now on, we just know what to expect, right?

Second answer, she explains he is very tall. He went inside to pay the bill and then he also went towards the bathroom (wtf?), she followed him inside, she asked for the menu, he finally went out and she approached him ('abordei' - 🙄) between the door and her table. Classy.

Cue in to a third answer (and second lie) to a very odd question: 'what did he smell like?' or something along those lines. For this one, I had to ask confirmation from Shipper Mom, who told me two things (she knew next to nothing about the whole episode- no bias): ' it's damn hard to understand what the hell she is talking about, she is eating half of her words. Plus you can tell she is lying.'

He doesn't smell, she tells us. But hey, she also freaked out a bit, finally (I thought she hadn't?!) and then well, 'ele estava com outra pessoa, uma moça, deve ser a namorada dele'/ he was with another person, a girl, probably his girlfriend'. But then he went inside (again? wasn't he coming out of the venue?), 'and the girl stayed at the table'. Things go murky afterwards, like they absolutely always do: she tells us she spoke to her (?), but would not say anything more, yet making sure to tell us she 'saw both of them'.

If anyone has a better version than mine, please step forward: we listened three times in a row, with Shipper Mom, a teacher of Portuguese and published literary translator. She was appalled by this young woman's carelessness and mendacity.

The Brazilian Tourist Fan is 23 years old (and it shows), she presents herself as a journalist and writer:

Seriously? What are the odds?

And finally, to wrap it up, the classical cheering moment, at yesterday's Hyrox: ' yeah, Sarah, nice!'

Nice, indeed.

FFS. Will it ever end?

Yes, it will. Anything ends: even Stalin's terror.
