Your post of all the first overalls to girl interrupted actively makes me feel crazy. Do you have a ranking of the most compelling first overalls?

cody's list of most compelling (active) (to me) first overalls

21. aaron ekblad (2014.) i don't care for the florida panthers

20. alexis lafreniere (2020). his strongest narrative juices are a) the bust thing (he was a covid baby, it takes time) and b) maybe him also going to rimouski like sid, if you really wanted to pull it out like that. but the two of them have little otherwise connection, so not really

19. owen power (2021) this is a list ranked by compellingness and not cutieness or who i would want to provide most with feminizing hrt against their will

18. nico hischier (2017) even some of the least compelling 1oas are still quite interesting IMHO -- nico is the highest ever drafted swiss player + a very young captain on a basement team + a CHL import. all of which *are* juicy. he just lacks... i don't know, a little extra je ne sais quoi

17. macklin celebrini (2024) invoking the power of "He Literally Just Got Here" for this one. the daddy issues are a powerful offset though

16. ryan nugent-hopkins (2011). the power of the longest-tenured member of a team is quite something. earns points for not being an upper middle class rich boy either

15. nathan mackinnon (2013). controversial to put him so low i know but in my genuine and honest opinion he's way more interesting as a Character than a Part Of The Narrative. crucial divide here. i'm about to talk about slaf's personality making him interesting narratively but they do want their good canadian boys to shut up and take it and nate doesn't rebel against that. all he wants to do is win (accomplished) and fuck sidcros (negligible)

14. juraj slafkofsky (2022) just barely edges out the nuge by virtue of a) the whole First Slovak thing (see nico) and b) his new and upcoming beef with the slovak federation??? what's all that about because THAT'S juice. THAT'S spark. slaf's great because not only are his little circumstances compelling but he's also got such a Personality to him. his little rockstar attitude. his little braces. I will show him where is Slovakia. yessss girl

13. rasmus dahlin (2018). im a dahlin attention payer so he's probably higher than he "should" be but CAPTAIN OF THE BUFFALO SABRES I AM SO SORRY.

12. erik johnson (2006) hugely fascinated by his fall from grace via golf cart, which is not a route most people take. and then of course he was a crucial emotional crux of the avs up until their 2022 run and in my belief a much more important part of their fall from grace post-run than whatever landeskog is doing. and of course any flyer is relevant by nature

11. jack hughes (2019) you cannot deny the hughes are interesting narratively because they are important. he's not as interesting or as important as quinn though so obviously not as high on the list as he might have otherwise been

10. taylor hall (2010) actually super interesting because he has, throughout his entire career, been on one (1) good team (the 2022-23 boston bruins). he has a hart trophy!!! you guys know he has a fucking hart trophy right???? while they were drafting davo et al, he was an oiler. while they were drafting nico, he was a devil, while they were drafting owen, he was a sabre, and when they drafted connor bedard he was a blackhawk. always the bridesmaid, never the bride

9. steven stamkos (2008). there's always something to be said for waiting a long time to get what you want. and then once that goal's been accomplished, they throw you out.

8. connor bedard (2023) Let's Get Generational With It

7. john tavares (2009) brief let's un-get generational with it to talk about mr magic amulet breaking TWO entire playoff round curses as captain, twice. about him choosing toronto. about Him

6. auston matthews (2016) what if you were a vain shy arizona boy who wanted nothing more than to be a star and then they gave it to you and then you immediately had to learn that it's not nearly as good as you thought it was going to be. and you were actually kind of gay the whole time (im biased. this is cody sergeifyodorov's immense toronto bias. be normal)

5. patrick kane (2007)

4. marc-andre fleury (2003) the whole saga of him in pittsburgh AND the whole saga of him in vegas AND the whole saga of him in minnesota (and the brief intermission when he was in chicago) are all massive narrative moments of their own, but to have all of them? to be a goaltender that lucky and that loved for that long? it's not done. it will never be done again.

3. connor mcdavid (2015) I Love It When The Ginger Man Suffers

2. alexander ovechkin (2004) you know i could write essays on ovi. i could write dissertations. people have already done so -- i would not be the first and will not be the last if i join their ranks. i could take about the goals and the record chase. i could talk about the way he's been juxtaposed against the guy who you really should have known going in was going to be number one for his whole career. i could talk about the hunt for 2018, and the long, long time they said he was useless, no matter the record. but i will say after me. after me, i give it to you, baby.

sidney crosby (2005). obviously

Rolling with the homies to the global economic forum

X-Men (2019) #4 will forever be remembered as 'the one with Apocalypse in a suit.' It's a timeless concept and image, as is Apocalypse accompanying the Loser Husbands to the Davos Economic Forum, but I have to wonder why they bought him along. Conventional wisdom would suggest leaving the extremist maniac at home, but this is geopolitics. He's there to project strength and a sense of inevitability. He's a nuclear deterrent.

The theme of the summit is "Globalization for a New Age: How to Secure and Maintain a Cohesive and Sustainable World” but it becomes obvious pretty quickly the real question is 'what do we do about Krakoa?' The representatives of the powerful human nations take turns probing and poking, trying to get Krakoa to justify its existence and asking questions like 'what's the endgame here?' Note that one is framed as 'our question' - there's a sense of unity among the human delegates as if they rehearsed it. Magneto answers their questions cleverly but firmly, trying to get across that they just want to exist and be a country. The Wakandan attaché agrees - Krakoa is just acting as any other nation would. Boo hoo to the pharmaceutical companies that have been gouging everyone feeling the pinch.

'We're just doing capitalism, I thought you loved free markets bro' is the crux of Magneto's position here. It'd be nice if they didn't have to play this game, but realpolitik demands they do. Benevolent capitalism is still capitalism, though there's no denying Krakoa did it better and cleaner. The world hates mutants, sure, but Neoliberals hate socialist states more. What he's proposing is disruptive, but it's a status quo that benefits everyone. Humans get massive health improvements, retailers and distributors make profit, and governments get taxes. The Krakoan Flower and its products should be a shot in the arm to the pharmaceutical industry too - they live in a world of super science and there'll be demand for non-mutant medicine and other fruits of what should be a pharmaceutical revolution.

Mags frames it as an evolution, using his own past behaviour as a rhetorical device and a reminder that capability still exists. The amount of countries and agencies with dubiously effective Magneto protocols is evidence of that. You'd think they'd be pleased he's committed to NOT doing that shit. Jumping for joy, even. That the forum opens with a pointed toast to peace implies a prior state of war, but Krakoa embraces that peace.

'There will be no war.' He's wrong, of course, unfortunately. There definitely was war. A cold one at first with ORCHIS (implicitly backed by most of these governments) then a hot one when ORCHIS tried to kill EVERYONE. True to their word, Krakoa's X-Men saved everyone. Xavier kinda messed that up, but who could have predicted that?

Xavier, having been rather quiet, chimes in here. They don't want conflict, seriously. His appeal to emotion is not very effective, but it is in response to Reilly getting heated. He's stepping after Magneto has said his piece and Reilly (who I believe represents ORCHIS and either the USA or UK. It's not entirely clear as he's been an intelligence plant before) just comes out and tries to escalate. Xavier's words shift the focus onto him, and it's difficult to take his denial seriously.

Behind the scenes a few dozen assassins with psychic blockers lay in wait to try and kill them. Gorgon and Cyclops deal with them pretty easily and pointedly don't kill any. Aside from his bodyguard duties, I'd argue Gorgon is there to send a message. His history is one of terrorism and death - as HYDRA's resident mass murder specialist and a true believer. Krakoa has transformed this maniac into someone who shows mercy and follows rules, demonstrating that Krakoa is taking a lot of supervillains off the table. The flipside of that is they're all willing to defend themselves and their young nation, something they're very effective at. Carrot and stick.

The unity in opposition to Krakoa shown at Davos suggests everyone signed off on this, or knew about it. It's hard to pretend to acting in good faith with a death squad waiting in the wings.

With that carrot and stick paradigm established and Krakoa's united front of 'we don't want war, but we can certainly fight back' clear, Apocalypse's presence makes more sense. It would be difficult to plan this Bronze Age Collapse line ahead of time, and it is effective, but I think Apocalypse the giant - sitting there in a suit eating dinner - sends the same message. Mutants have been here for a long time and we're not going anywhere. We're united and are playing by the rules but if you fuck with us we'll fuck with you. Let's just get along.

That's geopolitics and the UN says they're a nation. The tragedy is that even the most reasonable person at this meeting - the Wakandan attaché - was still a party to this railroading and Wakanda itself was no ally to Krakoa. Good faith is a two way street and its absence guarantees conflict at this level. When a nation is pushed they push back.

Krakoa made mistakes like any other nation but even if they hadn't, Sentinels were being funded. I don't think this forum was one of those mistakes yet good faith was met with attempted assassination. The Krakoan delegation left with threats and promises - to protect themselves if they had to. It's a shame that they did have to, not just for mutants but for everyone. The world lost miracle drugs, terraforming capabilities, representation on the galactic stage and so much more. Most of all they lost the pretence that there is anything mutants can do to avoid the hate - even the quislings like Shaw, Firestar, and Judas Traveller were discarded when they stopped being useful. Accept being second class citizens. Step up and get slapped down. It's pretty depressing, isn't it?

Palisades Fire ‘Crime Scene’. MAUI 2.0. Trump Plans to End the IRS. Trump’s going to WEF Davos 2025. S. Korea’s president detained. Pezeshkian: Iran never plotted to kill Trump. Mark Zuckerberg Lied.

Return Of Strong Winds Spark "Dangerous Situation" Across Fire-Ravaged Palisades

One week after the fires in Los Angeles County began, the blazes remain out of control, scorching nearly 40,000 acres and leveling entire neighborhoods.

On Tuesday, winds are expected to gust between 45 and 70 mph, accompanied by dry air, significantly increasing the risk of fire spread. The National Weather Service has issued "Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warnings" for L.A. and Ventura counties through Wednesday evening, warning that "this setup is about as bad as it gets." Strong gusts could derail any progress made by firefighters early this week across two of the main fires, the Palisades and Eaton fires. The blazes have burned upwards of 40,000 and leveled entire neighborhoods and burned more than 12,000 structures. At least 24 people have died, with the death toll expected to rise.

Palisades Fire ‘Crime Scene’ Gives Clues to Inferno’s Origin

Investigators trying to trace the origin of a Los Angeles County wildfire that is devastating parts of America’s second-largest city believe it may have originated in a known hiking area.

Authorities have taped off a ridge overlooking Los Angeles as they investigate the origin of the Palisades Fire, describing the area as a “crime scene.” The wildfire, which caused the destruction of thousands of homes and businesses and claimed at least eight lives, remains uncertain. However, investigators are scrutinizing the site for clues, as evidenced by the police tape. Dominic Choi, the assistant Los Angeles police chief, says “there has been no definitive determination that it is arson”—but he has not ruled it out.

Wildfire Woes: California Regulators Halted Palisades Fire Prevention Project to Save Rare Shrub

Nearly 24,000 acres - including much of Topanga Canyon - have gone up in smoke...

California’s eco-regulators halted a critical wildfire prevention project near Pacific Palisades to protect an endangered shrub - only for that same area to be engulfed in flames during the Palisades Fire, the most destructive blaze in Los Angeles history. In 2019, the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP) set out to replace aging wooden power poles - some nearly a century old - with fire-resistant steel poles and widen fire-access lanes in the wildfire-prone Topanga State Park. The $2 million project was designed to bolster fire safety after the area was deemed an "elevated fire risk."

Trump Announces Plan to End the IRS

President-elect Donald J. Trump announced he intends to create a new revenue agency that will effectively end the need for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which oversees the federal taxation of Americans.

Instead, the President-elect proposes an External Revenue Service (ERS), which will serve as the central point for collecting tariffs, duties, and other taxes and fees on foreign goods. This revenue source, he believes, will supplant the need for the federal income tax. “For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves.

TG stans love to say that jaehaera can't die in HOTD because it's her marriage to aegon iii marks the end of the dance "two scared kids bla bla bla" but I think that in GOT canon this marriage is NEVER mentioned? Shireen doesn't mention Jaehaera and Aegon III, she just says how horrible the dance of the dragons was for House Targaryen and how she wouldn't choose any sides. this marriage don't exist GOT canon.

what TG uses is the narrated version of the dragon dance from youtube lol what I think has nothing to do with canon GOT and HOTD follows the line of GOT no?

Why would Shireen mention Jaehaera and Aegon's marriage when she was talking about the devastating effects of the war outside of the Targs themselves (their family's tragedies)? She also didn't talk about Aegon's marriage to Daenaera, once again bec how the Targs recovered or didn't recover personally was not what Shireen was talking about. Also, GRRM wrote F&B way after the first few main books of the series and after AWoIaF is published.

Either way, the YouTube also existed before GRRM wrote F&B, which had some changes from that narration. Team green (as in the fans and those who say they aren't TG but show themselves as such and lie to themselves) is clinging.

EDIT (10/29/24):

Let's review GRRM's writing and the records of Jaehaera's death/Aegon's marriage to Daenaera, and the considered "end" of the Dance for media literacy:

Davos would have given much to know what he was thinking, but one such as Velaryon would never confide in him. The Lord of the Tides was of the blood of ancient Valyria, and his House had thrice provided brides for Targaryen princes. A Clash of Kings -- Davos I

Vaelaena Velaryon (mother of the Conquerors)

Alyssa Velaryon (mother of Rhaena the BB, Alysanne, and Jaehaerys I, plus others who died young; even mother to Jocelyn Baratheon, the mother of Princess Rhaenys, rider of Meleys and mother of Laena and Laenor Velaryon, grandmother to Baela/Rhaena Targaryen)

Daenaera Velaryon (mother of Daena, Elaena, Rhaena the Septa, Daeron I, Baelor I; thus Daenaera is the grandmother of Daemon Blackfyre)

(AWoIaF -- The Targaryen Kings -- Aegon III)

(F&B -- Under the Regents -- War and Peace and Cattle Shows: Daenaera's entrance in the Maiden's Day Ball, and way before that, Jaehaera's death and Unwin Peake)

A Clash of Kings was published in November 16, 1998. (meaning this storyline that included Jaehaera's death had been a thing for years even before the publish date bc writers/authors plan and write stories to be published--which can take a while itself)

A World of Ice and Fire was published in October 28, 2014.

Fire and Blood was published November 20, 2018.

The entire "Game of Thrones: Histories & Lore" animated series of six installments began back in 2012 & ended officially in 2019.

The "The Dance of Dragons" animation was both published in 2016 AND was based on G.R.R. Martin’s novella The Princess and the Queen (published in December 3, 2013), not Fire & Blood.

The BluRay episode of the Dance didn't include anything about Jaehaera's death or marriage to Aegon, nor anything about Aegon's regency or Daenaera BECAUSE IT ENDED with it saying that Aegon's marriage to Jaehaera ended the Dance, or the war itself. But it didn't end the ambitions of Unwin Peake and others, (which lead to Jaehaera's death) the story of which existed since at least 1998 on record. But definitely GRRM planned and wrote this storyline years before said publishing date, bc that's how that works.

This means that whatever sort of BluRay feature they are clinging to doesn't matter bc Daenaera being Aegon's 2nd wife/mother to his kids means that Jaehaera was always slotted to die even as she marries Aegon first.

"The Princess and the Queen" was meant to be a sort of "teaser" for Fire and Blood, and thus doesn't include anything about the greens or Rhaenyra/Alicent and Viserys before the usurpation and after Aegon II's death:

beginning of "The Princess and the Queen":

end of The Princess and the Queen:

Why in god's green earth would GRRM upend years of writing Jaehaera and Daenaera's fates/narrative purposes the way he has for the comfort and delusions of a few so called "neutrals" and green stans?! Those who refuse to take in what they are "reading"?!

Apparently, this is the post (before this edit) that some in TG have decided to disseminate amongst themselves and choose to outright distort into me saying that Jaehaera shouldn't and doesn't become Aegon's first wife. Never said anything of the sort. I said she doesn't live to become the mother of his kids nor be a direct ancestor to any of the Targs who lived post-Dance and as scions of either Viserys II or Aegon III. I said so in seevral other posts, but this is the one they want to use to say I said something I did not say.

It is disengenuous and lazy, frankly. But what ese can you expect from people who would use BluRay videos as "true" canon or stronger evidence of Daenaera's not being Aegon's second wife/mother to his kids/grandmother to Daemon Blackfyres and thus ancestor to all Blackfyres OVER several AWoIaF and main series mentions/confirmations as the this?

Example of said green and their anon asker:

#asoiaf asks to me #jaehaera targaryen #jaehaera targaryen's characterization #fire and blood characters #fire and blood #asoiaf #team green nonsense #fandom critical #hotd fandom

Argentina and the stigmatization of feminism in the Milei era

The trans-Andean president describes feminism as a “ridiculous and unnatural fight between men and women” and, within the framework of the omnibus project, intends to modify the Micaela Law, the norm that since 2019 establishes mandatory training in gender violence for all people who work in public office.

Femicides in Argentina have gradually increased in recent years, despite the fact that the Micaela Law was enacted in 2019 after the femicide of Micaela García, who was 21 years old when she was raped and murdered in 2017 by a criminal who had already served a sentence before. for raping two women in 2010. In 2019 , 327 femicides were recorded , with an estimate of one woman murdered every 24 hours, according to that year's report from “Now that they do see us.”

For Nestor “Yuyo” García , Micaela's father and promoter of the law that bears his name, the increase in femicides is the product of “different actors who are in national politics.” “This generates violence and makes people who have been taking care of themselves identify a context in which they can continue exercising violence as they have been exercising it,” he tells La Tercera.

García points to Milei 's “misogynistic” comments at the Davos Forum , where he attacked feminism and the environment, considering them part of the influence of socialism on Western economic policies. “The first of these new battles was the ridiculous and unnatural fight between man and woman . Libertarianism already establishes equality between the sexes. (...) The only thing that this agenda has resulted in is greater intervention by the State to hinder the economic process,” he said.

i was re-reading the meereenese blot essays (10 years old this year!) the other day and decided to peruse the comments, the most recent of which was from 2019, and they're all so funny. those essays are so much softer than readings of dark dany today and take every opportunity to hammer home her "good intentions" (...🙄), but even then people seem so genuinely shocked, SHOCKED, that her preference for war could mean a darker turn

even when people agreed she was "turning away" from altruism (...🙄), there's this stance that actually it's necessary, because obviously we all know she has a heroic roll to play fighting against the white walkers. maester aemon's guilt-ridden dying delusions of grandeur for his lost family have this fandom in a choke-hold i swear

Also noticed the writer making a deliberate effort to refrain from staining her character, lol. Perhaps it's for the best that he wasn't more candid, George might not have publicly commented on it if he had been.

Anyway, people are deluded. The man who wrote this,

"If Joffrey should die . . . what is the life of one bastard boy against a kingdom?"

"Everything," said Davos, softly. - Davos V, ASOS

will never provide a rationale for her atrocities in the narrative. Get real.

Ooh, for the WIP asks, I’m curious about Patterns of Life? (thanks for the tag ❤️)

thank you for the ask, lily !

so, this one is a special one. back in 2019 (or 2018?) i started writing a gendrya fic with the fake marriage trope and it ended up being my most popular story posted. i sort of abandoned it cause my writing has evolved a lot since that time but i think a lot of people enjoyed the story and the premise so i decided to rewrite it.

essentially gendry and arya, who are strictly best friends, get married because gendry’s PR in winterfell is coming to an end and of course all sort of drama ensues.

the old story was and i can change your marital status. and my new story is called patterns of life, im excited about it cause i’ve always enjoyed the story and have a lot coming up.

here is a snippet from one of the later chapters:

“Morning, Maarya,” he says, trying his best to crack a smile at her despite the alarms going off in his head.

“Morning, darling,” she smiles back, drawing closer notice to the crow’s feet near her eyes. “Sorry to wake you so early. My phone’s not working proper. I’m heading to the market but I’ve made some fresh bread for you.”

“Thanks, have fun. I’ll wake up in a bit.”

Maarya nods and laughs. “Late night? Steffon looked in a worry state himself when he rocked up at the early AMs.”

“Yeah, Davos’s friends know how to drink,” Gendry jokes. Fleabottom habit, sailors’ too.

“Alrighty, I’ll leave you then and head out,” Maarya finally says but not without mention of the woman sleeping soundly in his bed. “Take care of your wife and give her plenty of water.”

#when i think back to the little teenager i was writing this i feel like she would be happy about where life ended up 6 years later #this story is very dear to me. it made me meet some people who i truly cherish in the asoiaf community #also gendry and arya are my roman empire. they are how i started posting fic and the reason i got involved in fandom.#gendrya fanfic #aiccyms #patterns of life #asks #mademoiselle-souffle

Quote

We face a stark choice; down one road, the one with zero infrastructure upgrades, no air quality regulations, and Covid safety only for those who can afford it, you and your family will get Covid this year. You will get Covid next year. You will continue to get Covid over and over and over again, as the health problems - like cardiac damage, viral persistance, and immune system dysfunction- continue to build up. (The billionaires, of course, will not). Down the other road, we quite simply treat ourselves the way Davos would. We engage with what the science is telling us and we build a safer, better world for our kids. We embrace the lessons this pandemic is teaching us, and let go of things we now know are harming people. We stop clinging desperately to the idea that 2019 will come back if we just get the virus one more time, and we come together to achieve what we’ve been told is impossible: elimination. The economic elite thrive on our divisiveness and blame casting. They don’t mind that we’re calling each other names, engaging in racial stereotyping, or leaving disabled people to die, so long as we keep their machine running. But we can choose to stop throwing blame at each other, and direct it where it belongs: at the powerful people who’ve left us to suffer, at the politicians who are whipping people into a frenzy over masks instead of over our millions of dead, at the talking heads on TV that work so hard to convince us: you want to get sick. It’s better than being a *weirdo* or a *hold out*.

TW ENORME.

Cosa c’è che non va? Dico sul serio, cosa c’è che non va nella vita?

Nella mia vita probabilmente niente, ma per qualche motivo ho sempre avuto qualcosa di cui lamentarmi.

Suvvia, la mia famiglia mi vuole bene, certo, ci sono tanti scazzi, ma che sarà mai?

C’è gente che sta peggio.

Ma basta pensare che c’è gente che sta peggio, anche i tuoi problemi sono reali, sei caduto e ti sei sbucciato un ginocchio? Se per te è grave, se per te è un problema allora okay, quella sarà la tua battaglia.

È cosi complicato pensare che i tuoi problemi valgano davvero quanto pensi? La vita è fatta per viverla e io adesso non sto vivendo, vorrei poter dire che lo sto facendo, ma la verità è che non è cosi, non sto vivendo, o per lo meno, non come potrei, non come vorrei.

Fa male pensare che probabilmente ho un problema.

Dal 2019 ho sempre cercato di sviare i miei problemi, dalla morte di nonna ho incontrato persone, molte persone, moltissime di esse sono già andate via, quindi forse non erano cosi essenziali come pensavo, non mi volevano davvero bene come dicevano.

Ma dicevo, dalla morte di nonna sono successe tante cose, ho perso tantissimo peso, entrando in un bilico che non augurerei nemmeno al mio peggior nemico, la cosa che faceva più male di tutto ciò è che le persone incoraggiavano questi comportamenti, o meglio, incoraggiavano ciò che stavo diventando.

Le persone non si rendevano conto che avevo perso tutto quel peso, per loro erano 10/15 chili, invece erano 30.

30 è un grande numero essi parla di peso, sia se si parla di peso perso che di peso preso.

Io all’ora lo persi, persi così tanto peso da essere completamente dissociata da me stessa, da non essere più in grado da capire chi fossi.

Mi pesavo ogni giorno, avevo e ho ancora attualmente le note del telefono con ogni grammo perso, ed ogni grammo perso era una vittoria, se vedevo anche solo un grammo in più era la fine.

Poteva essere anche semplicemente ritenzione idrica, ma nella in testa era molto più grave, era una sconfitta, la sconfitta più grande che stavo vivendo.

Non ho mai raggiunto un peso che potesse dare “sono anoressica” ma forse i miei pensieri erano molto più forti di una qualsiasi ragazza che pesa 45 chili.

Ora posso dire, riesco a pensare di essere stata anoressica, ma per il semplice fatto che i comportamenti e gli atteggiamenti erano esattamente gli stessi.

Non mangiavo, lo facevo solo quando ero obbligata, solo quando ero vista.

Non esisteva più la colazione, non esisteva più il pranzo.

Ricordo benissimo, come se fosse ieri, che tornavo da scuola e dovevo pranzare intorno alle 15, ma non lo facevo mai, buttavo il cibo, lo masticavo e poi lo sputavo oppure lo davo al mio cane.

Cucinavo le cose per le altre persone, soprattutto dolci, e aggiungevo moltissimi grassi, vedere una persona mangiare più di me mi faceva sentire potente, e in realtà è ancora così.

Mettevo tantissimo olio nel piatto delle altre persone e io invece usavo un piccolo piatto, in modo da far sembrare il cibo molto di più, e ne mangiavo solo la metà,mangiarlo tutto, nonostante i miei pasti non superassero mai le 150 calorie era una sconfitta.

Era una sconfitta arrivare sopra le 500 calorie giornaliere, nonostante le diete che mi hanno sempre fatto fossero intorno alle 1200 calorie.

Non ero più in grado di essere una persona sociale, perchè ciò avrebbe significato uscire, probabilmente a pranzo, quello stesso pranzo che io ho saltato per molto tempo, e fuori non potevo contare le calorie, fuori non potevo far capire che stavo male, che ero malata, che poi nella mia testa non ero malata, ma sapevo che le altre persone avrebbero potuto pensarlo, e a me il pensiero delle persone pesava tantissimo.

Se una persona mi diceva che stavo dimagrendo troppo mentiva ma se una persona diceva che ero grassa aveva completamente ragione.

La mia testa ha sempre avuto pensieri autodistruttivi.

Ma dopo tutto ciò ho ripreso peso, sono tornata ad essere la stessa balena di sempre.

Sono tornata ad avere amici, si, ma a che costo?

Io non sto bene con me stessa.

Sono solo un’onestà del cazzo che non merita di essere amata, vorrei tornare com’ero prima, e ovviamente non parlo del peso, perchè quello dovrebbe scendere sempre, fino a poter toccare le mie ossa solo sfiorandomi, parlo dei miei comportamenti, vorrei tanto tornare a non mangiare, a sputare dopo aver masticato, a vomitare, ma non ce la faccio, perchè non ce la faccio più?

Cazzo, ce l’ho fatta una volta, perchè non posso farlo ancora.

Sono debole.

A quest’ora peserei anche io 40 chili come quelle bellissime ragazze, e invece purtroppo non è andata così, purtroppo sono rimasta io, nel corpo di un’onestà del cazzo, eh si odia ogni giorno di più, ma infondo che io pesi trenta o più chili a chi importa, troverò sempre un motivo per odiarmi.

Voglio solo cercare la pace, qual è la pace? Che cos’è la pace? Non so se mai la conoscerò, ho bisogno di aiuto.

Aiuto serio, perchè io da sola non farò una bella fine.

Voglio solo essere magra, voglio solo che il mio ragazzo mi trovi la più bella del mondo, che non senta più il bisogno di guardare una qualsiasi altra ragazza perchè ci sono io al suo fianco, voglio solo che non abbia vergogna nel mettere una mia foto nelle storie solo perchè sono grassa e chissà cosa penserebbero le altre persone, voglio solo essere nei suoi pensieri quando vede dei fiori viola e quando vede dei bimbi per strada, perchè io un giorno li vorrò tantissimo e lui per nulla, voglio solo ricordargli la felicità e non la tristezza, non la depressione, non i disturbi alimentari. Voglio solo essere abbastanza per lui, ma so che non lo sarò mai abbastanza per una persona come lui. L’ho sempre amato, dal primo giorno che ci siamo visti, in lui vedo coraggio, bellezza, forza, in lui vedo tutto ciò che in me non c’è.

Questo è solo il mio punto di vista, so che probabilmente per lui non sono tutto ciò e che mi ama da impazzire così come sono, ma per me non sono abbastanza per lui.

Lui merita la donna più bella la casa più grande, la vit perfetta, lui merita tutto ciò che con i miei problemi del cazzo non potrò mai dargli.

Spero che un giorno si renda conto che non sarò in grado di dargli la felicità, un giorno quando non sarà più innamorato di me si renderà conto di tutto ciò, che sono solo un’onestà del cazzo piena di problemi del cazzo con una vita del cazzo.

Nella vita voglio solo la sua felicità, nella vita voglio che lui abbia al suo fianco una donna in grado di potergli dare tutto ciò che io non sarò mai in grado di fare.

Deve avere la macchina più bella, la moglie più bella, i figli più belli (perchè lui è il più bello del mondo e con una donna bella quanto lui i figli sarebbero degli dei), la casa più bella, il lavoro più bello, anzi, spero anche che un giorno non dovrà più lavorare, che potrà coltivare le sue passioni per tutto il giorno e non essere mai stanco, deve avere tutto ciò che la vita gli ha tolto,e soprattutto, cosa più importante, deve essere felice, non contento, perchè la contentezza passa, lui deve essere dannatamente felice.

Solo dio a quanto vorrei essere quella donna, ma io non lo porterò mai alla gioia, lo porterò all’esasperazone.

Per questo a parer mio si merita tutto ciò, perchè lui è la persona migliore che io abbia mai incontrato,e come dicevo ne ho incontrate veramente tante.

Io però non sono la sua donna, io non sarò mai abbastanza per lui, e per questo motivo mi odio.

Gli vorrei dare così tanto che nemmeno immagina.

Io lo amerò per sempre in cuor mio, anche quando vivrà con una donna migliore di me, perchè so di stargli solo facendo perdere tempo dietro a me, so che ciò che merita lui sono tutte le cose elencate sopra, e non una come me.

Avrò per sempre il suo nome inciso sul mio cuore e nella mia mente, indipendentemente da tutto, sarà per sempre, l’amore della mia vita.

Lotterò per lui, anche se merita molto di più e io sono maledettamente egoista, lotterò per sempre per il suo amore, perchè non troverò un’altra persona come lui.

Non ho nemmeno intenzione i cercarla, perchè lui fa parte di me, per sempre.

Nonostante rimarrò per sempre quella bambina insicura che piange nella sua stanza.
