Lovely Kiernan and her amazing hands

[ryanmatthewseditor]

I'm hallucinating right now and have been 24/7 for anywhere from 3 years, 8 months, 15 days, 18 hours, 55 minutes, 44 seconds to 4 years, 1 month, 15 days, 18 hours, 57 minutes, 11 seconds.

This part is just for me:

They've resumed using EO within the first one or two hours after waking up at around 11:30 PM; I'd gone to sleep sometime in between 2:30 and 4:30 PM and slept earlier from around 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. They started off with using mostly EO's voice and eventually resorted to using his nude form and later with the usual erotic visualizations of fellatio to go with those weird tactile+proprioceptive body-wide sensations while using EO's voice. Pretty much all of this occurred over these past three hours or so and it is currently 3:04 AM. Memory indicates that their sexual tantrums began this morning--but they continue to refer to it as having begun/occurred "last year" (in reference to yesterday). They continue to tell me to go outside, not "never go outside again" (just a few minutes ago), to go back to sleep, to watch TV, and so on. They managed to ruin the mood for me repeatedly today (using primarily EO) and asking, "so what?" (as they are literally right now). Messages across multiple communities continue to indicate that the perpetrators are incapable of feeling shame--and simply feign it. They continue to find random "justifications" such as something to do with Elizabeth Debicki and Kiernan Shipka (the latter of which I Google'd and found nothing new in Google News in regards to her--but they disregarded this information a few minutes later). They also continue to  disregard various obvious things that doesn't need to be stated and re-stated--such as the part of having my 7cups account permanently banned/locked/closed after having spent over $500 to $2,000 on it since 2018... simply for telling them what they had me tell them... which is what got me 5150'd last year and also permanently banned across multiple communities (e.g. PsychForums, PsychCentral, Social Anxiety Support, etc.). They continue to also disregard the hundreds of dollars spent on those background checks which I continue to be charged for--various expensive background checks related to women such as the aforementioned. They go on to feign "shame" only to behave shamelessly mere seconds later. They continue to outright disregard my arguments involving my attempting to report to the police the "murder" earlier this year (which I did) and having gone to speak with my aunt that day to ask how everyone in the family is doing only to be told that everyone is fine; furthermore, having gone to visit my cousin and our grandmother a few days ago and finding out that they, too, appear to be relatively well (aside from a cold) and living at the same spot.

These things continue to respond shamelessly shortly after pretending as if this is all news to them (which they smile at me as I point out how I've already covered much of this across multiple venues such as PsychCentral).

They continue claiming that they will not use EO any further almost daily (about as frequently as they tell me that they're going to ruin the mood again, but less frequently than telling me to not ruin the mood)--only to have them resume using EO without having me "provoke" them (simply thinking anything even remotely negative of the hallucinations or just about anyone or anything in general seems to provoke them into using EO). They've now also begun to more frequently interrupt my thought processes even in regards to things unrelated to the hallucinations--anything related to whatever I'm watching on television--anything that I plan to do. EO continues literally right now as I write this with usual fellatio thing. Much of this morning; they've claimed that this has something to do with, "solo por Elizabeth Debicki." Even now; I can hear laughter (and having them point the finger at one of their "women") shortly after claiming (yet again) of having done something to--or currently in the process of doing--to random family members such as two of my older male cousins on my father's side of the family. "They just don't give a fuck," they continue to add every few minutes or so--while ad-libbing for me.

It has now been over two months since I've stopped taking Adderall (stopped sometime in between April 10th or 28th)... I'd also gone over two weeks without consuming caffeine earlier this year, and was taking Abilify for nearly a month before my mother had me throw away a few days' worth of pills about one or two weeks ago. Even after all of that--even after having gotten enough sleep--consumed multiple, large, healthy meals daily--having done various things to help me "calm down" (e.g. shower, masturbation, etc.); they still continue to be about as vicious, relentless, and unreasonable as ever (if not more so). Today; they smile at me (literally right now) as I recall how about an hour ago they'd told me that they would never stop using EO. They laugh even now as I recall how they tell me daily that they would stop using him. They also show how little (if at all) they care for my choice of pornographic imagery to masturbate to--whether it be some video on Pornhub or xvideos, or a picture of Kiernan Shipka, or Elizabeth Debicki, whether they be real pictures of them fully-clothed, or deepfakes, whether it be unrelated hentai or cartoon porn, or porn made through SourceFilmMaker or some other type of CGI. They continue to blame me for this. "Well, yeah," and, "y?" they now add while their "Areg sister" remains smiling in the background and EO continues with the suckling. "So what?" they ask before adding "Seig Hitler".

Case in point; they continue to claim to have done something to the youngest daughter of my oldest aunt on my father's side on the basis that I supposedly asked them to--disregarding that she is among the cousins that I've had the least (if any) problems with. They continue to pretend as if this is the first time I've covered this with them.

A few seconds later; they claimed, yet again, that something happened to Kiernan Shipka again recently and that this was sufficient reason to continue using EO.

They resume using EO and continue to put words in my mouth--forcing a smile--ad-libbing for me that I "wish" for EO to be here.

Here are some of my posts elsewhere:

"Nobody gives a fuck," they continue to tell me regularly--just now, actually. EO remains nude and with something phallic in his mouth.

"I prefer EO," one of their "men" tells me as they smile. They also continue to show a capacity at inducing that muscle tension in the back of my upper left thigh (regardless of my stimulant use--even when I was consuming zero caffeine) which goes hand-in-hand with EO. "That's right," one responds; although, they care not for the details.

They continue to disturb my sleep with unusually vivid and random imagery with occasional commentary that sounds like my internal monologue--in between the hours of 4:30 and 7:30 AM as I attempt to fall asleep again after consuming melatonin. The pornographic imagery has yet to go away and the content often appears vague and subject to interpretation. The hallucinations have only become several times more demoralizing and depressing even after successfully achieving a certain level of relaxation in my left leg perhaps not felt in many years.

After having gone successfully back to sleep in between 7:30 and 10:30 AM; they resumed using EO and continue to do so even now--roughly an hour after waking up. The muscle tension in my left leg has yet to stop despite all the sleep.

Three masturbation sessions in one morning has done nothing to alleviate the discomfort in there--nor has the discomfort increased.

It used to be that I had to bend my knees or close my legs to alleviate the discomfort. Now they have me stretching my legs out.

Two days of 4 doses of Pepto Bismol each--and that, too, seems to have done little to alleviate the discomfort in my leg.

Sitting up seems to have little effect--as does lying down with my legs crossed as I'd been doing last year. Muscle spasms still seem to occur even as I attempt to rest on a perfectly flat surface--the floor.

They continue to push me into contacting each and every family member interpersonally--numbering in the dozens--across multiple cities and multiple states and three different countries. Something that I'd fantasized about as a child but never managed to achieve.

Note to self: do not bother. Whatever the thought-forms or whomever they represent offer--do not accept. They will continue coming up with more bullshit regardless.

"Well duh" they say.

Kiernan Shipka for WWD: October 2018

[thedaredevilsgirl]

can you do tom holland x actress!reader, Y/n was FaceTime tom about filming and how’s his day But y/n was doing Wired Autocomplete Interview and the co-workers on behind the camera got surprise for y/n. She was so surprised to see him since they saw each other last month

I Miss You

Tom Holland x Actress!Reader

Word count: 696

I don't know if I did it the way you wanted, but I hope you like it

"Hey," Tom says as he answers your video call, "I miss you.”

You were on a trip to promote your new movie, doing a lot of interviews for the internet, TV shows and radio stations and Tom was shooting Spider-Man No Way Home in Atlanta. Aside from the daily phone calls and face time conversations, you hadn't seen each other for over a month and it was still two weeks before you could return to your husband's arms.

"Everything is fine here, the filming of the movie is over and I'm coming home tomorrow" he says excitedly "I think this is the best movie we've made so far.

"I miss you too, how are things over there?" you smile at the cell phone screen.

"Yeah, that's awful" he gives you a strange look, but changes the subject before you realize "How was your day?"

"I'm very happy about it babe, but it's a shame that you can't come here and see me, i need you."

"So far so good, you know how these publicity trips can be a little tiring, but today I'm going to participate in the Wired Autocomplete Interview, I'm kind of excited" she says smiling.

"It's pretty cool, you remember I've participated before, right?

"Yeah, I remember you lying about speaking Spanish.

"HEY, I know how to speak Spanish" he pretends to be offended.

"No Thomas, you don't know how to speak Spanish" they both laugh together.

"Y/N" You hear your assistant's voice and lift your face to look at her "We have to go, the interview starts in five minutes."

"Ok, I'm coming" you answer her quickly and then look at your cell phone again "Baby, I have to go now, but I'll call you as soon as the interview is over."

"Ok, bye darling."

"Bye."

•─────✧─────•

"And recording" someone from the production says.

She was sitting on a stool with the board in her hands and ready to begin.

"Hi, I'm (Y/N) Holland and I'm here for the Wired Autocomplete Interview, so let's get started.

You hold the plate in one hand and pull out the tape to read the first sentence.

"Y/N Holland age?" you look toward the camera to answer "Currently I am 23, but I will be 24 in two months."

"Ok, next, Y/N Holland has..." pulls out the next tape "brothers? yes I have two older brothers and they are also actors."

"Y/N Holland...do you sing? yes, actually I started my career in Broadway musicals when I was 8 years old and I am seriously considering investing in a singing career, it is something I love to do"

"Y/N Holland is going to work at Marvel? I definitely can't talk about it" gives a mysterious smile to the camera "That's a maybe.

"Who are Y/N's best friends? my best friends? well definitely Kiernan Shipka, she has been my best friend for years and Zendaya, these women are wonderful.

"Y/N Holland can speak Spanish?" you can't stop your laughter as you remember Tom "Yes, I speak Spanish, but I think I still have a bit more to learn.

You get to the last question on the board, you were wanting it to be over soon just so you could call Tom and spend the rest of the day talking to him.

"Well, let's get to the last one, Y/N Holland and Tom Holland are dating?" you laugh a little before answering "Actually he and I have been married for a year, that explains the same last names."

"Do you miss him?" a production person asks.

"Yes, very much."

"You don't have to miss me anymore sweetheart," you hear his voice and he puts his arms around your waist and hugs you from behind.

You turn to look at him to see if this was really happening, and it was, he really was there.

"My God" you hug him tightly "What were you doing here?

"Your team and I thought I would surprise you, I hope you enjoyed it" he says smiling.

"Of course I liked it, I loved it" you kiss him "I missed you so much.

"Me too babe, but don't worry, we won't be parting any time soon.

This has been really making my day since I know about it, u’all should give it a check, guys ❤️

I was excited so I kept writing.  This chapter is a bit longer! 

Here’s a Sneak peek:

As we stood for a moment staring at one another I felt as though all the air had been sucked out of the school. Every nerve of mine felt exposed and firing all at once, as it usually did when I was around Nick. I could almost feel his heart beating as mine rang in my ears. The energy around us was palpable, and I don’t think either of us knew what to do or say next. I started chewing on my bottom lip, something he’d once pointed out to me I do when I’m nervous. We said nothing more, neither one of us willing to break the standoff.

Vanessa Hudgens Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia Interview

BREAKING FREE

Growing up from a Disney icon to a gun-wielding heroine, American actress Vanessa Hudgens has come a long way since her ‘High School Musical’ days, Ahead of her upcoming Netflix film ‘Tick, Tick ... Boom’ and current action comedy ‘Bad Boys for Life’, the former teen star gets down to business, revealing her stance on feminism, growing up in Hollywood - and how she’s dealing with that social media controversy.

By Amy Yasmine. Photographed by Kat Irlin. Styled by Anna Katsanis

What a difference a day makes. In early March, American actress and singer Vanessa Hudgens posted a selfie of herself dressed in a risqué metallic Saint Laurent bustier, paired with barely-there hot pants, big curls, and red haute lips. With a caption that read “That good good. No it’s not Thursday”, one can only assume that she was referring to her weekly #ThirstyThursdays feel-good posts, a series of stylishly curated body-positive pin-ups that had become her personal “revenge-bod” indulgence since her high-profile break-up with actor, Austin Butler. It certainly didn’t take long for the picture to attract more than a million likes, breaking the Internet with hundred of web articles from the likes of E! Online  to The Daily Mail. “Thank you for blessing us with this”, commented Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actress Kiernan Shipka, while Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson declared her love for her fellow Spring Breakers co-star. Little did anyone realise, that the selfie was in fact a behind-the-scene outtake from this exclusive Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia cover shoot in sunny Los Angeles, shot on location amid lush palm trees and clear blue skies. It was indeed a much simpler time then: malls were packed with countless shoppers, yoga centres were running at full capacity, and rush hour traffic in major cities would last for hours on end. But in a blink of an eye, the world changes overnight, and nothing else was ever the same.

Suddenly, social distancing and self-isolation became the new norm, and in a matter of days, we started to question our own health, safety and sanity. Oddly enough, this conscious approach juxtaposed the resulting series of TikTok dance videos and Insta Live workouts as millions of subscribers were given carte blanche to become their own Insta celebrities.

For Vanessa, this translated into an IG LIve video which saw the Disney actress voice her opinions on the worldwide pandemic, culminating in a social media frenzy which incited many to lash against The Princess Switch star. Of course, just as soon as she had realised her mistake, Vanessa released a statement on Twitter, apologising for her misstep of judgement. “I’m so sorry for the way I have offended anyone and everyone who has seen the clip from my Instagram Live yesterday” she confessed. “I realise my words were insensitive and not at all appropriate for the situation our country and the world are in right now”.

“I think it’s important to remember that no one’s perfect” Vanessa responded in our interview, barely days after her bold comment on the ‘gram. “All we can do is learn from our mistakes ... so I keep charging on”. A testament to her unrelentless spirit, one which she had undoubtedly molded since her High School Musical era.

Indeed, the half-American and half-Filipina actress was 17 when she was casted as Gabriella Montez in the now-iconic Disney film. Within a year, her music recordings for the movie’s soundtrack went on to dominate the charts internationally, with “Breaking Free” a duet with former on-screen/off-screen love interest Zac Efron, hitting #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #9 in the United Kingdom. Through the years, the multi-talented actress released a number of solo albums, from V in 2006 and Identified in 2008, while also being inducted into Forbes’s “High Earners Under 30″ list in 2008.

It isn’t just chick flicks and family specials that propelled her into superstardom. There’s another part of Vanessa that’s altogether badass and empowering, which shone through the less commercial yet thought-provoking projects, like the cult coming-of-age drama Thirteen by Catherine Hardwicke, and of course, Harmony Korine’s 2012  Spring Breakers, starring James Franco and Selena Gomez. Here, her seamless ability to go from fresh-faced-girl-next-door, to a gun-wielding temptress stood out the most. Naturally, this chameleonic prowess to switch from one polarised character to another, has certainly helped in paving the way for her latest endeavour in Broadway and latest film Bad Boys for Life, let alone her rise as not just a feminist symbol, but as a role model to young girls everywhere.

Surely, in a post #MeToo world and today’s current state of panic, sisterhood, compassion and humanity are needed, now more than ever. And with celebrity culture being blown out of proportion, perhaps, it is a time to reflect, and be present. After all, to quote Vanessa’s 2006 High School Musical hit, “We’re All In This Together”.

You’ve come a long way since High School Musical. How do you think that experience and growing up with fame, has shaped you personally and professionally?

It’s made me stronger. Growing up in the spotlight is difficult. But going through things publicly gave me thick skin. The industry is tough and I’m grateful for my strength

Since then, some of the films you’ve starred in, like Spring Breakers and Thirteen, highlight some controversial issues facing women today. How do you think such films reflect back on our current state of society at large?

It’s important to see films where things are taken too far and observe how it plays out. It’s really crucial to be faced with the question “Where do I stand on that?”. That’s how you build your own character and understanding about yourself.

How much of these kick-ass slash empowering narratives appeal to you as an actress, especially now that you’ve taken the role of a cop in Bad Boys for Life?

I’ve always dreamt of being a badass action babe. I remember seeing Angelina Jolie in Tomb Rider and thinking to myself, “I want to do that”. It’s important for girls to see woman kicking ass and being empowered.

What was it like working with iconic actors like Will Smith and Martin Lawrence?

It’s so fun being on a set when there is already such an established relationship between the main cast. Will and Martin are both are such kind individuals and they’re so collaborative. Will always made sure everyone was looked after and having a good time.

Has it been hard transitioning from a Disney icon, to a badass female actress?

The beginning was the toughest time, because all people knew of me was from High School Musical. I really had to put in the work to expand my résumé and be seen in a different light. But I enjoy the process. I’m playing all different types of characters and constantly challenging myself to take on something new.

In February, the photographer Claire Rothstein released a video featuring yourself and other prolific women on female empowerment. What is your take on feminism?

To me it’s about seeing yourself as someone you respect and being treated that way. There’s so many different opinions about how a woman should be, and I think the only opinion that matters is your own. There’s still so much work to do when it comes to equality and equal pay, but the conversation is loud and I think with continuing in that direction we will make a difference!

As a proud half-American half-Filipina, how much of your multicultural background informs the person you are today?

I’m sad to say I still haven’t been to the Philippines and I feel like a piece of me is missing because I’m not as connected to my heritage as I’d like. But I am very much my mother’s child and she was born and raised in the Philippines with not a lot to her name. Hearing her struggles and her instilling her faith and spirit into me are my grounding pillars. But I was born in the States and raised as an American. It’s nice to have a piece of both.

If you were to choose between acting and singing, which one would it be?

That’s so hard for me. I grew up doing musical theatre so to me they go hand-in-hand but if I HAD to choose I’d say acting. Telling stories and stepping into someone else’s shoes are my real passion.

Going into Broadway - which seems to be the right juggle between the two - how do you mentally prepare yourself with such feats?

Being on stage is like being at home to me. You do all the preparation in a safe space and then finally have that moment where you tell the story and have the audience right there to react to it. You can feel if they are into it or not. It’s such an intimate special connection you have with the audience when you’re on stage. I get such a thrill from it.

With so much going right now, how do you take the time to just #SelfLive?

I’ve been meditating a bit more recently. I think with all the noise it’s so important to take time to drop in to yourself and release all the baggage we carry. I’m also such a fan of a good face mask, a glass of wine, and watching a comedy in bed. Also, a good meal. Taking time with it and really experiencing all your senses with each bite.

Without a doubt, it’s been quite an emotional roller coaster for you these past few years. How do you keep yourself motivated after all that has happened?

I think it’s important to remember no one’s perfect. We all make mistakes and probably will keep making mistakes. All we can do is learn from them and try not to make the same mistake twice. I’m so passionate about what I do and living my best life because we only have one. I don’t want to look back and say what if, so I keep charging on.

One of the greatest things about you is your ability to keep it real. How do you manage to do that, especially in Hollywood?

I try to make it a point to actively keep my life real. I’ve been through a lot but still have so much life to live. I always try to take a step back and see the journey and feel deep gratitude for it. I think when you lead with gratitude it’s hard to become jaded.

Speaking of keeping it real, what’s your take on being sexy and confident in this day and age?

For me, when I feel confident and empowered by my femininity I feel like I can conquer whatever I set my mind to. There’s power in that. If you believe it, you can do it.
