Review: The Seamstress of Acadie

Synopsis: As 1754 is drawing to a close, tensions between the French and the British on Canada’s Acadian shore are reaching a fever pitch. Seamstress Sylvie Galant and her family–French-speaking Acadians wishing to remain neutral–are caught in the middle, their land positioned between two forts flying rival flags. Amid preparations for the celebration of Noël, the talk is of unrest, coming war,…

Emily anon here who’s black with a medium skin tone, just say your colorist and more on. I know black people can have any skin tone but lighting up a characters skin tone is still wrong. There’s nothing wrong with race coding non human characters take Steven universe for example even your favorite thing DBZ, many fans see Piccolo as Black.

Regardless other people have agreed it's pointless to assign them race codes. I'm not colorist just because I refused to assign code. Your issue is assigning intent when it's not there. Emily is Heavenborn. Race would work if she were a Sinner / Winner.

Bringing up Steven Universe and DBZ as examples are NOT helping your case, you are bringing up shows with ACTUAL rep.

Speaking of Piccolo.

This is his human design.

I don't understand why you decided to come back to accuse me of being colorist for no reason. You were racist too, it was uncalled for so move on and stop assigning intent to what I do. Seriously all your asks were complaining about this shit and nothing else. Literally two people have sided with me, saying it's stupid.

Did you go into other people's Askboxes regarding Emily's code being removed as "cultural erasure"? because theres atleast ONE OTHER person who said she isn't coded black in their rewrite, why are you targeting me?

Also, let me paste an ask I got:

Don't pay attention to the anon who talks about "erasing the code", I don't think people understand that when you talk about rewriting, you can change things from 0. For example: Vivzie herself put Alastor as a human, American, cannibal, furry, creole, voodoo stuff, and with a red palette. Alastor is an epithet of Zeus, or a daimon accompanying the Erinas, which translates as "avenging spirit". He IS the god of evil deeds: specifically, he is related to family bloodshed. With this in mind, Alastor should be Greek and all his symbology should be Greek. And following the anon's logic, we should point out that Vivzie is erasing the "Greek code". Now seriously, as someone who is not American, I must tell you that "codes" may have a "deep" meaning for you, but on the outside .... it is simply racism and stereotypes. Inspiration is not a "code", and if you are always looking for things for that "code" then half the racist is you (anon) since you must first base it on something superficial to be looking for it. However, and back to the point, Pleas you are doing well. And you are absolutely right in saying that angels don't have that race thing: 1)The true form of angels is how they believe they should be the perfect form. 2)Not every species needs to have the human conflicts. There may be a closeness or there may not be at all. 3) It's your story. If the anon is offended, well, they can also do their own rewrite of how things should be. And I think a final point would be that the joke of rewriting is just that, rewriting. It's not going to do like the original product and that's half the point. In the Hispanic community of a youtuber there was a contest for a second season of High Guardian Spice (we didn't like it, but for the laughs the contest was made) where the rules were not to change neither the races, nor the Lgbt+ elements and so on. Even the author of HGS liked the tweets of the contest (unfortunately due to a situation it was deleted). Here if I believe you that the complaint is valid "to be deleting something" because it has very specific rules. But what Pleas does, well, anon, that's already wanting to impose something because you think it is so, when the reality is different. Anyway, as they say around here "Live and let live".

Anyways, the counsil has decided and we ruled in "Two rights don't make a wrong"

Therefore because you tried to beat racism with racism and assigned an intent that wasn't there everyone has to be punished and anon asks will be revoked. If I ever do readd anon, I don't want you to continue complaining, nor spread false allegations.

It was a rewrite I did, and I find it absolutely pathetic you're still trying to go with "colorism" and "racism" assigning intent when it's not there is fucking stupid.

Also, maybe I would understand that Sera and Emily WERE fucking Black Coded if they were MORE black coded, you gave examples of BETTER BLACK CODES. So, nice try anon.

Thanks for being racist in your last two asks. That's what I needed. Hazfucker Hotel bastards wanna assign intents so bad when I explained that rewriting Hazbin means I had to fucking ALSO fix the Biblically Inaccurate shit assigned to it,

Mfers when they realize Angels aren't black.

Also here's Adam, Anon you gonna complain he's not tan enough? Fuck out of here.

I’ve posted about Lee garlington signing off on pharmaceuticals I don’t need to treat my mental bc in a “creative” way …I put on this blog lee was sex trafficking me… now let me clarify in another post ….

again+ FORGIVE THE GRAMMER…THERES JUST SOOOO MUCH 🤯🤯🤯🤯….

the hippocampus of the brain where memory is stored and behavioral …I’ll indulge you in research backings through google.

Storage is low so copy and paste friends…work cited 😉 will be listed …

Hippocampus contains two parts: Cornu ammonis (hippocampus proper) and dentate gyrus. Both of these parts are separated by hippocampal sulcus and curve into each other. Below the sulcus lies subiculum. Since hippocampus is a part of allocortex (archicortex), there is a zone that separates it from neocortex.

Like many parts of the brain's limbic system, the hippocampus is involved in memory, learning, and emotion. Its largest job is to hold short-term memories and transfer them to long-term storage in our brains. It also plays a role in emotional processing, including anxiety and avoidance behaviors.

Hippocampus is a complex brain structure embedded deep into temporal lobe. It has a major role in learning and memory. It is a plastic and vulnerable structure that gets damaged by a variety of stimuli. Studies have shown that it also gets affected in a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

The hippocampus helps humans process and retrieve two types of memory, declarative memories and spatial relationships. Declarative memories are those related to facts and events. Examples can include learning how to memorize speeches or lines in a play. Spatial relationship memories involve pathways or routes.

….something about the spinal cord I posted a while ago..will readd to this

The hippocampus is not required to recognize items that occur in a unique series of events, but is necessary to remember their order in the series. This combination of findings supports the view that the hippocampus plays a specific and fundamental role in memory for sequences of events that compose unique episodes.

Hippocampal injuries typically evolve into cognitive dysfunction, depression, and/or epilepsy. Neural stem cell grafting early after injury has promise for preventing neurological deficits. Neural stem cell grafting early after injury modulates aberrant hippocampal post-injury plasticity.

The hippocampus is a component of the medial temporal lobe implicated in limbic circuitry, receiving input from limbic structures including the septal nuclei, the amygdala, and the thalamus (Witter, 2007).

Defeat

I need to get this out it’s been plaguing my mind

also! this is the first thing I’ve ever published so hi 🥺👉👈 it’s quite a bit longer than I intended, sorry if it’s garbage

edit: i’m here to change the banner and i’ve realized that the first part of this got deleted somehow?? perhaps i’ll rewrite and readd it in the future (if ur reading this, i haven’t done it yet) but for now, i’ll just be mad about it and leave it, since it was only the beginning

matsukawa issei x f!reader — [wc: ~800]

cw: blowjob, a little deep throating, face fucking, praise

thinkin’ about suckin’ off gamer!mattsun while he plays games 🥰🥰🥰

“Hello, my love.” you say against his neck. “What’s got you worked up?” He throws his head to the side and groans “ah, I’m just not having very good games tonight.” You hum and kiss along the new area he’s just opened up for you, you can see goosebumps starting to appear on his skin

Wordlessly, you slip under his desk as you start to palm his bulge through his sweats. Him looking down at you asking softly “what do you think you’re doing, pretty girl?” You just give him a sweet smile in response and pull his sweats down just enough to release his hardening cock

You take him in your hand still looking up at him innocently. His queue ends and he’s put into another game, he sits up straight to put his hands on his mouse and keyboard, giving you easier access to his now throbbing cock

You finally take him into your mouth, focusing on just the head at first, swirling your tongue around it, collecting the precum that was forming before giving it a gentle suck. A deep groan leaves his throat and you look up at him again with big eyes. He’s looking back down at you with his bottom lip between his teeth. You start taking him in more and more, bobbing your head and taking in a little more each time until he’s hitting the back of your throat

You keep as much of him as you can fully in your mouth for a moment making you gag slightly, that causing Matsukawa to let out a rather deep moan. Before long you’re sucking him off fully, working the bottom half of his cock in your hand.

You can tell how much you’re affecting him by how little effort he’s actually putting into playing the game. Every time he’s waiting to respawn he has a hand in your hair or cupping your face. “Fuck, baby. You look so beautiful like this.” He praises before taking his hand away to put it back on his keyboard

It startles you a little when you hear him clear his throat, and say “nah man I’m not throwing, I’ve just got a bad connection. Laggin’ all over the place.” You giggle at his attempt to defend himself, the vibrations making him moan even louder than before

good thing he’s using push to talk

The game finally ends. The word ‘defeat’ once again written in large red text across his monitor. He quickly exits and tangles both of his hands into your hair, pulling it back into a makeshift ponytail. With one hand fisting your hair and the other on the seat of his chair behind him, using it to give himself some leverage, he starts quickly fucking your mouth

Tears soon prick in the corners of your eyes as you look up at the gorgeous sight in front of you. His head is thrown back, his eyes screwed shut, lips slightly parted. “Fuck~ you suck my cock so well, baby” he praises once more. He’s breathing heavily, on the brink of his orgasm. “Ahh shit~ I’m gonna cum~” he almost whimpers as he starts to fuck your mouth with more vigor. Tears finally spilling past your lashes

He all but comes to a complete stop as he shoots his warm cum down your throat. Looking down at you with his mouth open, loudly exhaling. With deep moans and breathy groans of your name he rides out the rest of his high.

Panting slightly he looks down at you with a smile, pushing a few strands of your hair behind your ear. “Mmm, good girl.” he hums when you open your mouth to show him that you swallowed all his cum

He rolls his chair back and puts a hand under your chin, guiding you up to straddle his lap. He lays a gentle kiss on your swollen lips before pulling back and whispering into your ear “My pretty girl, I think you need to be punished for making me lose that game.”

[dearmyblank]

AM, Hey haven't written to you in quite sometime. Maybe that's a good thing. I can't believe the semester is almost over. I can't believe that our first year of college is almost done. At least it won't be long till I see you again. It wasn't as long as it was, but I still missed you. I mean if anything good came out of you dorming, it's the fact that A and I are kinda closer than we were before. If you were still around I don't think I would've gotten closer to A. I don't think I would've started sending him memes. Altho that did start the meeting after you came back the one time so maybe I would've. I don't know to be completely honest. Maybe in my head I'm just replacing him with you because he's around. I know, I know he's 16, and he'll be 17 after I'm 20. I know. I may have a slight crush on him, and honestly I hate it. I would usually tell someone to go after someone they like, but I'm not going to. I can't. Part of me realizes that I'm using him as a rebound because he talks to me and makes me laugh. Hell when I mess up he doesn't judge. I just don't want to ruin anything by being like "hey i have a crush on you." I know that I only like him because he gives me the attention that you never really did. Yea you gave me attention, and yes you care, and yes we have this weird thing between us, but like him and I have something as well. It's not as deep as a friendship as we have because he'll never know the shit you know. I wouldn't ever tell him about all the shit I've done to kill myself. I wouldn't ever tell him the dark parts of me that you know. Like I know this is bad, and that I shouldn't use him as a rebound. That's why I don't get too close. I don't go too far because I'll end up hurt. Like tbh if he had a crush on me, sure I'd go for it. But I'm done trying to make the first move. Especially because of the age gap. I mean it wouldn't be a big deal if he was over 18, but still. If anyone did see us in public they'd assume he's older cause I'm shorter than him. I've always made the first move and it's blown up in my face. I'm not doing that again until I'm 100% positive I'll have reciprocated feelings. This thing I have with him is just a small crush that'll pass. Like I know why I do, and I won't let it go farther than where it is now. Although I shouldn't be talking to you about this cause H is still in high school. I saw A post on his IG that he played the ukulele while she sang. I didn't really listen to it but I know she's still in high school. What is she, a year or two younger? Is she A's age? I also saw it was your first year anniversary with her. I liked your IG post about it. Sure I'm still a little bitter, who wouldn't be, but that doesn't mean I'm not happy for you. You smiled the same way in those photos that you do with me. It's the same smile I got in that photo I took of you in Erie. At least I got that going for me. At least I know that you smile the same when you're with the Crew as much as you smile with her. You probably smile more when you're with her though. I'll still treasure that photo you let me take of you in Erie. Despite you once saying you don't like photos taken of you, you let me. That honestly meant a lot. I wish I got one of those in Vermont, but I got us talking together and that was better than a photo. Actually the one thing that was better was seeing you shirtless. I was honestly ready to kill you when you, A, and N came back from the bridge and your shirt was off. My sister scolded you for it and I was sitting there trying to get that image out of my head. I'm pretty sure I blushed from that. I don't know if anyone noticed, cause I never told my sister I have a crush on you. Not that I ever would anyway. I mean it's obvious that I do, I don't necessarily hide it. It's just hard. Just be happy that the first girl you ever loved, loved you back. (As far as I know of.) I hope you never go through the pain I do. As much as I wish there was something more that happened between us, I hope you two last. If we went out, I don't ever see us working out. You do all that lovey dovey stuff that honestly makes me want to barf. Although I could be biased cause I've never had someone who did that to me. Maybe if someone ever does, I may feel different. (Anyone who does that lovey dovey stuff makes me want to vomit, not just you.) Also something I wondered: why did you now just readd me on Facebook? I mean that was the only social media I didn't readd you on after the "AB's emotional bullshit of 2017" (Yes I yeared it cause 2016 was emotional bullshit as well.) We're you just like "huh maybe I should readd her since she didn't readd me." I just didn't think it made a difference cause I don't post on Facebook that much. I didn't want to ask, cause I figured if it was an important reason you'd tell me. I mean I was kinda happy when you did. I stared at my phone for like a minute like "what." I guess thanks? Don't know why it took so long but glad you were at least thinking of me. Or maybe it's cause I post notes for Crew meetings and it's easier to get notified when you're Facebook friends. I don't know it probably didn't mean much, but thanks anyhow. ~AB

[datingadviceonreddit]

I am mainly posting this for 2 reasons:I didn't have the best luck with dating in college and I put up with my fair share of abusive relationships and fuckboys (but this post can also apply to fuckgirls (yes they are a thing))I have seen too many of my friends put up with WAYYYY too much crap from somebody they are interested in and time and time again go back constantly excusing the shitty things said love interest has doneSo, I'm going to start with example #1:My best friend in college met a professional baseball player, lets just call him MLB. She was totally enamored with him. First time she met MLB, he was in her town for a game, went on a date, had sex, etc. From there, he talked to her for a couple weeks, would even face time with her. Then eventually he ghosted her and she was devastated.This became a pretty frequent pattern. He would sometimes talk to her for a month or so (usually when he knew he was going to be back in town for a game), they'd meet up, have sex, then he would tell her he was sorry for not talking to her but he was "just so busy with baseball." He promised to take her on exotic vacations etc and would tell her how much he liked her and get her hopes up so much, then he would not talk to her again for a month or two. She put up with this for years, and would constantly make excuses for his behavior and just go right back to him and get hurt all over again.I was very upfront with her about my feelings on the situation - I would CONSTANTLY tell her that he clearly doesn't want anything serious, and that he is using her, that he probably has a girl in every town he plays in..... and she would go, "you're right, you're right. I am going to block him. I am going to cut him out of my life".... then a week later I would get a text from her saying "OMG, MLB just viewed my snapchat story. Like clearly he's still into me." ... stuff like that. This went on for years, and while they aren't currently talking and its been probably a year since shes talked to MLB.... I bet that if he contacted her again she would give him another chance.I don't blame her for doing this, and I understand how hard it can be to experience unrequited love. I know that when you really like somebody, and want to believe that they like you in return, its hard to not hold out hope that them "liking" or "viewing" a post of yours is some sign of something bigger and that they really do like you.. but if their behavior doesn't match these "signs".. you should probably take a hard look and realize that its just as innocent as them viewing a post and its not them trying to get with you.​Ill bring up example #2 now, in which I delt with my own fuckboy.Well call this guy "John".John and I met my sophomore year at university through work. An hour after we met, he friended me on Facebook and twitter. I was very excited because I found him very attractive and really wanted a boyfriend. John soon began favoriting every tweet I posted, started messaging me almost daily in response to something I posted. Eventually we started crossing paths more and actually found out we had a lot of mutual friends.I clearly felt that John was interested in me due to him constantly engaging with me on social media... I would check to see if he was doing this to other girls too and while he would occasionally like other girls posts, it seems like mine was very frequent compared to others.John asked me for my number eventually, and started inviting me to study with him both alone and in groups. He started inviting me to do more and more, like come over and watch movies, etc. After a month or two of this, my sorority was having a formal so I decided to get up the courage and ask him. He immediately said yes. We had a wonderful time, and he invited me back to his place for the night. We only cuddled, and didn't even kiss or make out or have sex or anything. He drove me home the next morning, and texted me the next day telling me how great of a time he had and how we should hang out again soon. I later found out through his friends that his family was in town that weekend, and he skipped seeing them for one night of the weekend to come to my formal. I didn't know he did this at the time, but when I found out, combined with the other signs he was giving me, I was VERY convinced he liked me.However, I started realizing that his "signs" were often unpredictable and inconsistent. Sometimes we would hang out several times a week for a month or two, and then it would be like he feel off the face of the earth. Then, out of nowhere I would get a text from him saying he was having a party at his place and I should come. He would be VERY adamant about me coming and would even offer to come pick me up from my apartment and bring me to his party so that I wouldn't need to find a ride. Sometimes he would be really flirty with me at his parties, and sometimes he would completely ignore me and dance with other girls.This only made me like him more and want his attention more. I went home for thanksgiving break, but he stayed behind at university because his hometown was 4 hours away and he wanted to stay at school to catch up on homework. He begged me to come back to university and keep him company and study with him. So, me being the dumbass I was went back the day after thanksgiving. He game over to study, would pick up a pizza on the way because he knew I loved pizza, and would be super flirty. After studying, he would ask to go to my place and watch movies together, and he would inch his hand closer to mine and just give me such butterflies in my stomach, but would never make a move. This went on for probably 8 months with cycles of him doing this then not talking to me for several weeks.I finally got fed up with it and confronted him a few months before the end of the school year. I told him I really liked him, and I feel like he has been giving me mixed signals for a while now and I wanted to know how he felt. He told me that he liked me, but wasn't looking for a relationship. I was VERY hurt because I was crazy about this kid, but at the same time I was super happy I finally had an answer and could begin the healing process and move on and find somebody who wouldn't play with my feelings like this.I did consider him a good friend, so I told him I needed some space to get over him but that eventually we could maybe be friends again. I avoided him for about a month, and was finally doing really well... however I did secretly hope deep down that he would change his mind eventually, realize he made a mistake, and want a relationship with me.A week before school ended, he texts me that him and his roommates are having an end of year party and I should come. I convinced some of my friends to go, and told everyone it was fine and I was over him and just wanted to go to try and at least reestablish a friendship with him. I tried to talk to him very little at the party because finally seeing him in person was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but he was VERY flirty with me and eventually was putting his arm around me. We left the party together and went and got food, then he brought me back to his apartment and asked me to spend the night. I told him we could hang out for a while but I wasn't going to spend the night. We started having a drunk talk where I told him that he really hurt me, and he goes "Will you please let me take you out on a date." I told him I would need to think about it. He then grabbed me and kissed me and we ended up just kissing/ cuddling/ making out for about three hours. I went home after that and didn't spend the night. It didn't go past kissing. Once again though, my hopes were up. I was so excited that he told me he wanted to take me on a date and felt this finally meant he realized he wanted to be with me.Well, the date never happened. We both lived at college for the summer, even hung out a bit, but he never mentioned the date again. I realized I could have asked him, but I felt like he knew my feelings and that I liked him, and I really felt that if it was important enough to him he should have asked me.This cycle continued for 3 MORE FREAKING YEARS. No matter what this kid did to me, I would always take it as a sign he liked me, would get hurt, not talk for a couple months, then he would text me a funny meme out of nowhere and talk to me completely normally like nothing happened. Took me to a concert once and out to eat after. Would still always try to study with me/ hang out with me. Would ghost me again - and I was too stupid to just cut this kid out of my life.I was at a really low point in college, I was pretty depressed and I don't think it helped. But, I finally started wanting better for myself and one day I just deleted him from everything. He would text me, I just stopped responding. I deleted him on snapchat, he readded me, I declined the request, he tried to add me again. I deleted him on facebook, he tried to readd me. Eventually I just let the requests sit there but ignored them. Eventually, now that I am over him I readded him just because IDGAF about him anymore and I have grown up SO much.. but I am still so mad at myself for putting up with this behavior as I did.Oh how I wish college me could have known what I know now. I have just learned through many of these hard experiences myself that if somebody likes you and wants to be with you - they will. They aren't gonna continually ghost you and make you question your self-worth... they will be with you. No excuses.I get that when initially getting to know somebody, there may be some ambiguity/ you're still trying to figure out if you like one another - and this post doesn't pertain to those situations.I just hope I can maybe help others to "take the hint"If you ask somebody for their number at the bar, you text them, they don't respond - take the hint. I understand trying a second time, but after that, just stop. To the people who just text and text somebody thinking that's gonna make them want to respond or talk to you - it's not.If somebody continually ghosts you and comes back into your life - they obviously don't care about you. Don't make excuses for their behavior. Don't give into their shitty behavior. You deserve better.TL;DR: Actions really do speak louder than words, especially when it comes to dating. Somebody can tell you they like you, tell you they want to be with you, but if their actions don't reflect it - don't keep falling for it. via /r/dating_advice

13/12/17 AM - Vit C: added It's Skin Hyaluronic acid serum.

14/12/17 Noticed several deep closed comedones around my jawline/chin area. I'm unsure what's causing them so for now decided to try the Vit C routine without the COSRX AHA/BHA toner. I will also only do the Vit C routine on my neck until my break out clears up. Other possible factors: - Sweating from yesterday's workout ? - I have the cold and have not been sleeping well the past 3 days - The recently added It's Skin HA serum - I tried COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid around 18 Nov and experienced purging. Stopped using it since 25 Nov, am considering using the COSRX Pimple Clearing Pads on the current CCs. AM - Vit C: replaced COSRX Low PH with water.

16/12/17 PM - BHA added, following Fifty shades of snail's how to shrink pores method. AM - Vit C: changed frequency from 'Mon, Wed, Fri' to 'Mon, Thurs'.

21/12/17 Still unsure what's causing the closed comedones (is it purging?) around my chin/mouth area. The first few are beginning to heal, but a few new ones have popped up. I have been using the vit C only on my neck. Also am at the ending stages of my cold. I've noticed the dark hyperpigmentation on my nose bridge has gone O.O not sure since when it disappeared and what product contributed but I suspect it was the Vit C. AM - Vit C: removed It’s Skin Hyaluronic acid serum. All: Temporarily crossing out the COSRX propolis serum in all routines.

22/12/17 I got some small red bumps (allergy, not pimples) on my cheeks after my shower and suspect it is either the Banila Co CIZ balm (I only use this when I wear makeup, I used it at night today) or OST Vit C (I only put it on certain spots + neck). Leaning more to the CIZ balm because of the papaya ingredient - Im allergic to papaya and didn't know this contained it until now oops..😅 I've tested this and the OST vit C on my arm and both didn't react.. Will stop using it and see if the rashes stop appearing. It's a shame because I really like this balm, I might keep using it for my PM BHA routine (nose area). EDIT: Just realised the culprit for the closed comedones could also be my April Skin Snow Cushion Pink, J.ONE Jelly Pack or Etude House Double Lasting Foundation. Will stop using makeup too. PM: removed Banila Co CIZ. PM: added TO Alpha Arbutin.

03/01/18 I decided to remove my Klairs vitamin c serum from my usual AM routine and change the frequency of my AM - Vit C routine from 'Mon, Thurs' to 'Mon, Wed, Fri'. I might readd my COSRX propolis serum in my AM routine later this month. AM: removed Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop. AM - Vit C: added COSRX AHA/BHA toner.
