In preparation for the Spanish Grand Prix I feel I must give my ranking of my top 10 on the Grid as some way to soothe the frustration that I have no way to watch the race.

Carlos Sainz Vazquez de Castro Cenamor Rincón Rebollo Birto Moreno de Aranda de Anteriuga Tiapera Deltun absolute king of my heart and the reason I got into this sport. The prince charming of Spain who's so classy and gracious and just such a good teammate no matter where he is at. With his powerful tractor beam big brown eyes. Long live the smooth operator! Vamos Carlos!

Esteban Ocon. Am I aware that this is like loving the problematic lead in a film or book just cause he has babygirl energy? Yes. Is that gonna stop me? Hell naw! I like his backstory, disarmed by his squishy little face, and I vowed to defend him from all harm like the minute after I watched him analyze Cars as being an accurate depiction of various racing aspects. Plus he's from the same region of France as where my family originates. So while Carlos is my F1 husband Estie is like my F1 baby bro. I will call him "teapot" it's a long story feel free to send me an ask about it. I will also call him Esteban "Can Do No Wrong" Ocon. Yes I'm fully self aware of how delulu I am about this man having no flaws (he does I've just elected to ignore them in favor of being charmed by the innocent face)

Daniel Ricciardo - I'm from Texas, I'm an extrovert, I'm legally obligated to stan this man to the moon and back. The Honey Badger is my spirit animal. Not the actual creature, just chaos gremlin Daniel. His energy is infectious and he brings the party and he loves my state. How could I do anything but support him?

George Russell - he was probably the second crush I got in F1 and I kinda love how in spite of his posh model energy he actually isn't from some moneyed or legacy background and he's so delightfully clueless at times "goat, sorry?" And the videos of him with kiddos he's so sweet and attentive to them

Checo - the Mexican minister of Defense. The down to earth friendly dad energy. He's just so solid and sweet and I love what he does to help mellow Max just by ya know being the chill dad Max never had. Also he an authentic Mexican, endorsed Tex-Mex so obvs I'm gonna love this man and wanna get tacos and drinks. He has that approachable energy and given the US's one driver might not even have a seat next year I gotta support our neighbor Mexico's driver cause I sure ain't supporting the Canadian nepo baby

Fernando Alonso - this mainly has to do with sex appeal let's be real. He's got that edgy bad boy kinda external vibe in some ways but then he's backstage arranging flowers and it's like "I could fix him and make him settle down" he's got charm style and is basically an immortal and foxy as hell. Let me try to domesticate this man please!

Charles Leclerc - sweet, I would vote him most likely to be true even while he's traveling abroad being swooned over and having fans handing him marriage licenses. He's just a little too type A for me to love him like I do my golden retriever energy chaos creatures and chill guys of the previous 6. But he's great and it's because of him and Carlos in the C² videos that I got roped into this sport so he's gotta make it. Plus after all the loss he's experienced he's a real inspiration in staying kind in spite of the pain of life

Max Verstappen - speaking of inspirations my traumatized ass can't help but support one of my own. He's an icon of breaking cycles. Yes he's definitely had his issues but he's matured in some ways and while I don't care if he wins or not on the track I'm very invested in him winning at life which him being a doting stepdad to Penelope is the kind of healing that helps me heal too. Children of hard ass dads who didn't realize their childhood was fucked up, unite! Plus he's an absolute goofball and that's endearing

Logan Sargent - I'm american, independence day is literally my favorite holiday, I have to have this man in my top 10 and I genuinely do think he's a classy guy (especially considering he's from Florida) and I can't help but love how the one American driver is just so painfully American looking. He looks like Captain America fucked an apple pie. He looks like scientists designed an American in a lab. He looks like the Beach Boys had a grandson with the descendants of Betsy Ross. He looks like a team scoured frat parties for a year to find the most American looking guy in the country. He is Logan Sargent and he is Kenough.

Valterri Bottas - his absolute self confidence and zero fucks given. He does not take himself too seriously and he is wholesome AF. He also has practical guy energy. Like if I hand to rank drivers on Most Likely to Pull Over and Help You Change a Tire he's definitely in the top 3. He seems like getting his hands dirty is something he's not too good to do and he seems like a good dude. Plus he's hilarious. He's as chaotic as Daniel in some ways he's just a little less boisterous about it. Calm chaos vs 5 year old given 16 energy drinks in an hour Ricciardo energy

It's me trying to convince y'all to get invested in the Sword Catcher, read it all cause I tried!

1) I need someone to talk about it + see your theories/memes/edits, I NEED MY FRIENDS IN THIS FANDOM okay?!

2) listen, we have to wait about 2 years before The Wicked Powers, let's try to distract ourselves with something exciting!!

Reviews from George Martin (my beloved, listen, this man knows a good fantasy book when he sees one, trust him), Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo

Synopsis (read the full detailed version here):

In the vibrant city-state of Castellane, a young orphan named Kel is stolen from his old life to enter a new one of luxury and peril. He’s to become Prince Conor Aurelian’s body-double, shielding the Prince from all dangers. As his ‘Sword Catcher,’ he and Conor become close as brothers – yet Kel lives for one purpose: to die for Conor.

Lin Caster is an Ashkar physician, part of a community ostracised for its rare magical abilities. But events pull her and Kel together and into the web of the mysterious Ragpicker King who rules Castellane’s criminal underworld.

Together, they’ll discover an extraordinary conspiracy. But can forbidden love bring down a kingdom? And will their discoveries plunge their nation into war and the world into chaos?

Here, a boy lives to protect his Prince with his life. A girl is destined to return lost magic to the world. A Prince must choose between his heart and his duty. And thrumming beneath it all, the heartbeat of a city unlike any other. Welcome to Castellane.

Known characters: (from top to bottom, from left to right, please appreciate the wonderful arts below)

Kellian Saren - our protagonist~ was kidnapped from his family when he was 5 and brought to the palace in order to be the Sword Catcher, the body double for the Crown Prince(🏳️‍🌈?). Used to have a crush on Antonetta, now too busy spending time with Prince Conor (🏳️‍🌈?). Big spoon energy

YOU'LL SAY: Rina... bestie he looks exactly like the second guy a bit lower, why so many Will Herondale cosplayers🤨 YES YES, THAT'S THE POINT, THEY HAVE TO LOOK ALIKE, IT'S LIKE Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman in Star Wars

Lin Caster - female protagonist, doctor, is skilled in healing magic (Catarina & Clary's daughter🤨?). There is a prophecy surrounding her, that says a very powerful goddess would return one day and it would be one of the girls from her community, ~possibly her~

Antonetta Alleyne - Heir to the wealthy silk charter, her mother dotes on her, dressing her in lace and grooming her to marry Prince Conor (the next guy). Her, Kel and Conor used to have this gang😎 when they were kids, but then her mother decided to turn her into a Kendall Jenner and now she's 💅🏻not like other girls💅🏻 and makes this ew sound everytime our protagonist walks by (secretly feels something else towards him....I guess?...)

Conor Aurelian - our Prince🤴🏻definition of: So you're a tough guy, Like it really rough guy, Just can't get enough guy, Chest always so puffed guy. What else? Oh, everyone tries to kill him and he hides behind his boyfriend's back. Little spoon energy

Joss Falconet - some lazy whore, idk. He has been friends with Conor and Kel since they were all small children. He loves parties, a good time, and ridiculous exploits, but there may be rather more to him…Matthew Fairchild core?👀✨ maybe....

The Ragpicker King - he's so 😋😩🤤he lives his dark emo girl aesthetic life. Doesn’t have a name or real identity. He lives in a big black mansion in the middle of Castellane and runs the crime scene. My future husband btw

Merren Asper - part-time student, full-time poisoner, and hopeless romantic. Merren has a dreamy, cheerful personality, despite being a poisoner. Well good for him, god bless🌿 he seems like a mixture of Kit Herondale and Wylan Van Eck

I'm going to update this post in case Cassie shares some new information!

The first book comes out on October 10 THIS YEAR so~ you can pre-order🌟✨for example, I can't so I'll just wait till someone sends it to me once it's out.

I REALLY hope I managed to get you slightly invested. It seems like a really nice fantasy series and I'd like to support Cassie's new work. She gave us our beloved TSC world and I have a strong faith in her. I know it's hard to dive into a new series but let's give it a chance!

Inner Being

We are gods in the making.

Believe it – live it – realise it!

Great spiritual masters have taught this wisdom since the dawn of time. Wisdom which has acted as a guiding light to humanity, beckoning us away from the vicious cycle of suffering, into a virtuous cycle of peace, healing and joy.

In ancient times the path to illumination was to retreat from the world in search of Divine bliss. The New Age approach is very different: to live in the world helping others.

The First Freedom in our spiritual journey is Bravery. Freedom from fear enables us to experience and manifest the great energy of Love, which is the Second Freedom. Love gives us the Freedom of being of Service to others, which is the Third Freedom. And by the law of karma, as we help others, we also help ourselves.

Service is the key to Enlightenment – the Fourth Freedom. But Enlightenment is far from the end of our journey.

The ultimate state of being for mortals on Earth is the full raising of the mystical power of Kundalini to the Brahma chakra, resulting in Cosmic Consciousness – the Fifth Freedom– believed by some to equate to seedless samadhi in Hinduism and nirvana in Buddhism.

But even this is but a step along the great path to eternity, paving the way to Ascension – the Sixth Freedom – which is liberation from the wheel of rebirth. From there we progress onwards to life on higher frequencies of other planets: the Seventh Freedom is Interplanetary Existence and the Eighth Freedom is Saturnian Existence, during which we will enjoy ever-greater Divine awareness, able to travel throughout the galaxy and even beyond. The Ninth Freedom is Solar Existence: becoming a part of the mighty Sun itself – rightly regarded as a God in various ancient traditions – the great life-giver of the Solar System.

‘The Nine Freedoms’ is a series of communications given by a great cosmic being, known as Mars Sector 6, through Dr. George King (1919-1997) – one of the greatest mediums the world has ever known. As relevant today as when they were given in 1961.

Reading abt Royal families? Guuurl, I'm yours.

The 1st that come in my mind is christian from Danemark. Awful comments are make about his lack of beauty but he seems having no problem with girl. So is he a womanizer? What he wants in a serious girl? Is he faithful?

2nd: his daddy. Rumours he's unfaithful so... What the cards say?

3rd: little prince George from GB. He's a cancer so a I assume he'll be family oriented later. But some astro readers say they'll be no monarchy for him. What about your cards?

Disclaimer: This reading is only for entertainment. Take it with a grain of salt. These are my personal interpretations of the cards with a sprinkle of intuition. Tarot is not set in stone it is not the end all be all of someones life.

Is christian a womanizer?

the moon (rx), the sun (rx), the magician, 9 of pentacles (rx):

There may have been deception or illusions around this person, but they are beginning to unravel. while things may not be outright negative, there's a sense of something not being entirely forthcoming or open about who they are or their intentions. He has a high level of charm and can be quite persuasive. They are likely skilled at presenting themselves in a particular way—possibly even manipulating situations to their benefit. He is someone who is overly focused on superficial aspects of life, such as wealth, status, or image. In this case, it could imply a person who is either insecure or relies on external validation. It could also point to someone who is dependent on others in ways that aren't entirely healthy.

What does he want in a serious girlfriend?

7 of cups (rx), 5 of cups, 10 of wands (rx), king of swords (rx):

He may have previously been overwhelmed with choices, or indulged in unrealistic desires, but now he’s trying to ground himself and make more focused decisions. He’s seeking someone who feels real, solid, and dependable—someone who is not an illusion or fantasy, but a genuine connection. He might be carrying some emotional baggage from past relationships. He could be looking for someone who can help him heal or who will support him through these feelings of loss or sorrow. He’s seeking someone who can help him unload emotional baggage or share in life’s struggles, making things feel lighter and easier. Alternatively, it could indicate a desire for a partner who doesn’t add more pressure to his already stressful life. He may want someone who is understanding, supportive, and who can help him find balance. He is looking for a partner who has a strong sense of logic, but in a way that avoids over-attachment to emotion or emotional drama.

Is he faithful?

king of pentacles, page of swords, 3 of wands (rx), 7 of wands:

At his best, he has the qualities of someone who would be loyal and trustworthy. If he is embodying this energy, he would likely value stability and be faithful to someone he sees as a long-term partner. He is observant maybe even being a little too quick to look for "red flags" or signs of trouble in the relationship. It might also indicate that he could be prone to suspicion or mistrust, especially if he's dealing with insecurity in the relationship. He's not fully invested in the future of the relationship or might not be looking at the relationship with the same long-term perspective as his partner. He could be more focused on the present, or possibly uncertain about where things are going. He is committed to his values and may be protective of the relationship, but also that he may feel the need to fight for his space or protect his interests. It could also suggest defensiveness or a tendency to be guarded, particularly when it comes to trust. All in all, he has the qualities to be faithful if he deems you worthy but he also might subconsciously look for ways out or to justify himself straying.

Is frederik unfaithful?

the hierophant, judgement, the sun (rx), strength (rx):

Frederik values commitment in principle, and may even adhere to certain traditional or moral codes about relationships. He leans towards loyalty, but he doesn't completely rule out the possibility of challenges or contradictions in his behavior. He may be at a crossroads or facing a moment of truth where his past decisions are being evaluated. It can indicate a desire for growth or change, and the potential for honest reflection on his actions—whether faithful or not. there is a lack of transparency or that things are not as bright and clear as they seem. There might be underlying issues or secrets that are preventing full openness in the relationship. There is confusion or discontent in the relationship, which could relate to unfaithful behavior or feelings of disconnection. Frederik might be struggling with his own impulses or emotions, perhaps lacking the willpower to resist temptation or make the right decision. And an inability to maintain control in certain situations. It can also represent a weakness or insecurity in the relationship that might make it easier for someone to act out of alignment with their values or commitments.

Will their be a monarchy left for george to be king of?

strength (rx), justice (rx), the lovers, the fool:

There will be a struggle with external pressures or forces that could undermine stability. In the context of a monarchy, there may be challenges or weaknesses ahead, whether due to internal conflict or external forces, that could destabilize or diminish the power and authority of the monarchy. The monarchy may be in a vulnerable position, facing difficulties that threaten its strength or continuity. Things are out of order, potentially leading to an unjust situation or a decision that may not be made on merit or fairness. In the context of the monarchy, this could indicate corruption, legal challenges, or governance issues that might lead to a breakdown in the system or a loss of legitimacy for the throne. External forces, possibly political or legal, could lead to an uncertain or unstable future for the monarchy. The future of the monarchy could hinge on a critical decision or alliance—one that could preserve or jeopardize the institution. The future of the monarchy is unclear and potentially risky. It could go in any direction, and there’s an element of fate or randomness that could determine whether there is a monarchy left for him to inherit.

Parsifal, Turning Difficulties into Healing, by Jack Kornfield.

"In the Arthurian legends, the young knight Parsifal joins the Knights of the Round Table to seek the Holy Grail. His mentor, Gournamond, tells him that to remain honorable, he must follow two rules: First, he should neither seduce nor be seduced. And second, if he reaches the Castle of the Holy Grail, he must ask, “Whom does the Grail serve?” As he travels, he sees all around him signs of suffering and disarray. But when Parsifal finally makes his way to the Grail Castle, he is utterly intoxicated by the court. He meets the wounded Fisher King and is offered a magical banquet that includes everything he could desire. He forgets his purpose and does not ask the essential question. The next morning the whole castle and kingdom disappear and Parsifal must wander and suffer for many years until by hard-won maturity he returns a second time. This time he remembers, “Whom does the Grail serve?” he asks. The Fisher King answers, “The Holy Grail serves the Grail King.” (The Grail King is God.) As soon as the Fisher King is reminded of this holy truth, he is healed, and in being healed, all that has rotted in the fields, all disharmony in his nation, all the sufferings of the kingdom are restored to peace and well-being.

The resolution of the journey to enlightenment comes when we recognize that both our suffering and our awakening are in the service of a higher good. Unless we serve the Divine, our unfulfilled needs can become entangled with out quest, and our spiritual experiences can work only to create a more expanded form of ego. A teacher who is overidentified with spiritual energy may subtly believe that, as the one who carries the teachings, it is he or she who must be served. We should be wary when there is a court around a teacher that focuses more on the person than on the wisdom of the lineage. When the Fisher King forgets whom he serves, the bounty of the kingdom fails, and all suffer from the king’s spiritual sickness."

Hello CC, thanks for responding to my questions about Catherine’s wellbeing. For your reading on Catherine, could you please focus on her health on the day, and her general state of mind about her new and future role brought about by the coronation?

I don’t think Camilla having her grandsons being pages is an issue, as far as I’m aware the role is usually for the children of close friends. It is actually more unusual for Prince George to have that role, as it has not been a role for royalty themselves. Those being upset about Camilla’s grandchildren being pages should then technically be just as upset at Prince George being one, in my opinion, but I don’t think there is reason to be upset at all - I prefer positivity all around!

Hi Nonny,

I will focus on her health on the day. It may take me a few days to get the reading out. I have just done one for Catherine and I can not make head nor tails of the cards I drew. A different question might help.

It is nice to know that the role of pages is usually for the children of close friends. I think it would have been better if all the pages were the children of close friends and none of them were family, but obviously the King and the Queen think otherwise. Their coronation, their choices. My opinion is irrelevant, I know. :)

For those wondering about the draw I just did: I asked "What will the coronation be like for Catherine? How will she be? Happy and relaxed, stressed, something else...? and the cards I drew were

1. Justice (Major Arcana) - law, truth, honesty, cause and effect, consequences, justice being done, fairness, balance (especially balance in the area of health).

2. The Five of Pentacles - exile, being left out, not being included, adverse circumstances, illness, loss, the chance of losing something important to you.

3. The Page of Cups reversed - emotional vulnerability, low self worth, depression, doing things out of duty and not out of love. Pages are also children, so this could be a water sign child who is stressed, as the card is in the reverse.

4. Underlying Energy: The Star (Major Arcana) - hope, faith, healing, renewal.

The energy is not coming together in a coherent whole for me, so i will try again later.

EDIT: I just read on another blog that the tradition is for the coronation pages to be the children of close friends and non royal relatives. If that is so, then the choices of the Queen are perfectly appropriate, and the outlier is the King's choice of Prince George as a page.

𝐉𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐍  𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘:  𝐏𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐓  𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘  𝐀𝐍𝐃  𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘

tw:  jordan’s assault is very briefly mentioned as part of her platform

entering pageants was never something jordan thought she would do, until it became apparent that saving every cent she could to put toward drama school wouldn’t be enough to afford drama school, and she still wanted to avoid going into as much debt as possible. her older sister, sarah riley, had done hair and makeup for a number of pageant queens in the area over the years and joked that jordan should enter the circuit since she has enough resources at her disposal to do it without losing profit. after sleeping on it and talking it over with her abuela, she dove in.

in the two years jordan competed in pageants, she’s won the following titles and awards/prizes:

—  franklin county fair queen  ( franklin county fair ):  $1,000 scholarship —  miss strawberry  ( wilmington strawberry festival ):  $1,000 scholarship —  miss teen columbus  ( miss teen ohio pageant ):  $10,000 scholarship, season passes to king’s island —  miss teen franklin county second runner-up  ( miss teen ohio pageant ):  $5,000 scholarship

SPONSORSHIPS

if you ask jordan about it, she’ll joke that her hand still hurts from all the letters she wrote asking community business owners and organizations to sponsor her for the miss teen ohio pageant so she could afford materials for a gown, as well as the steep application and pageant fees. she’ll throw in that she considered becoming ambidextrous so she could write out all the thank-you notes she needed to, as well. a huge thank-you goes out to george and martha’s, jim’s body shop, wilmington tire & lube, the community foundation of franklin county, and the historic columbus theatre for making it possible for jordan to compete.

PAGEANT PLATFORM

when jordan initially started prepping for the pageant circuit, her platform was advocating for affordable and accessible food banks to under-funded communities in order to battle hunger and food deserts in the state of ohio. while it’s a good platform to have, it became apparent early on that it was something of a standard among pageant contestants; if it’s not food shortage and malnutrition, it’s clean energy, reducing your carbon footprint, saving trees, adopt don’t shop  —  a lot of things that blend together in the same avenue of nice, but forgettable.

six months into competing, jordan changes her platform to advocating for victims of sexual violence. she partners with a local organization to raise awareness to the growing problem with sexual violence in the state and the nation, how victims are affected short and long-term, and what resources are needed to help victims heal and move forward. her goal, with her platform, is to help victims get away from their abusers and find the strength to stand on their own through a program that helps set them up with housing and furniture. she does not speak on her own personal journey as a rape victim.

TALENT

while coming up with a platform and speaking on it was bumpy initially, prepping a talent was as easy and natural as breathing for jordan. she always sings; it’s the easiest talent for people to connect to, it’s something everyone understands, and her repertoire is long enough and diverse enough to carry her to top scores within the talent portion. selections she’s done range from celine dion, to adele, to alicia keys; while vocal performance is a key strength of hers, she doesn’t rest on that and still prepares, just as she would for any performance or audition.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

taken from the miss teen columbus pageant

Q: if you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be and why?

the one piece of advice I would give myself is, don’t worry about doing everything right. it’s easy to tell yourself that you always have to be the best at everything and you always need to strive for perfection, but it’s okay to slip up and make mistakes. it’s a huge part of growing up, and it’s the only way to learn and grow as a person. just because you’ve messed up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person  —  that’s what makes you human.

Q: who is your biggest inspiration, and why?

my biggest inspiration has and will always be my abuela, liliana martinez. she’s the strongest person I’ve ever met  —  she immigrated to the united states when she was only sixteen years old, hardly spoke a word of english, and managed to build a beautiful life for herself and her family. she firmly believes in the value of hard work, family, and always helping others in whatever way you can. my abuela has instilled all those values in me, has taught me to find the joy in everything, and to always follow your passion and put your all into everything that you do. I think everyone would benefit from having an abuela, and I count my lucky stars because I am lucky to have one, and if I end up being even half the woman she is, I’ll have done good.

Anderson Cooper: Good afternoon, Windenburg. We’re back with special coverage of King George’s address to the nation. 

This will be His Majesty’s first address to the nation since his New Years address from Sandringham at the first of the year.

Anderson Cooper: It was a busy day for His Majesty who attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Kings Garden at George Square Park. The event marked the first joint public appearance by the King and Queen since he resumed royal duties after heart surgery.

Anderson Cooper: King George spoke to a small crowd about the importance creating outdoor spaces for the youth of Windenburg, and the impact the Commonwealth’s youth will have on the environment.

(Orchestral conclusion of ‘The National Anthem - God Save The King’)

Announcer: “HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE I”

“Good evening from Buckingsim Palace. It brings me great joy to address you, my peoples, today on the eve of such a historic Commonwealth Tour.

We are thankful to have The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge take on such an important role for our nation. I know they will both do amazing work and that each of you will surely welcome them with the love and support you would have shown to me and The Queen.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit Britechester, Evergreen Harbor, San Myshuno and Brindleton Bay on a four-week tour of our great Commonwealth. Their first stop will be in Brindleton Bay for the Annual Royal Navy Ball and a tour of the Royal Navy ship Destroyer. The Duke and Duchess are quite excited to see our many children when they stop at the Brindleton Bay Stables for Youth Field Day.”

“Throughout the tour, The Duke and Duchess will meet a wide variety of people from each country, including children, young people and families, frontline workers, service personnel, leaders from government, business and the charity sectors, as well as inspiring conservationists.

Their tour will also touch on a number of themes that are close to Their Royal Highnesses’ hearts, like their work with The Earthshot Award, which will take place during their second stop in Evergreen Harbor.”

“Personally, I would like to thank you all for your prayers and support for Princess Anna of Kent over the last few days. We are happy to announce that Princess Anna was found safe earlier this morning, due to the heroic efforts of our great MDP. Her kidnappers have been captured and will face the full extent of the law. Although the Princess may have scrapes and bruises on her body, her mind and spirit are resilient, like all of us Windenburgians. We ask for your continued love, and privacy, as she heals.”

“In closing, The Commonwealth Tour has always been a way for the Royal Family to see the people and understand how we can improve relations across the Commonwealth. This will be an exciting year as we tackle many issues plaguing our nation. I am confident that my government will continue to work for and with the people. The Queen and I wish you all, near and far, a continued prosperous year!”

tw:  jordan’s assault is very briefly mentioned as part of her platform

entering pageants was never something jordan thought she would do, until it became apparent that saving every cent she could to put toward drama school wouldn’t be enough to afford drama school, and she still wanted to avoid going into as much debt as possible. her older sister, sarah riley, had done hair and makeup for a number of pageant queens in the area over the years and joked that jordan should enter the circuit since she has enough resources at her disposal to do it without losing profit. after sleeping on it and talking it over with her abuela, she dove in.

in the two years jordan competed in pageants, she’s won the following titles and awards/prizes:

—  franklin county fair queen  ( franklin county fair ):  $1,000 scholarship —  miss strawberry  ( wilmington strawberry festival ):  $1,000 scholarship —  miss teen columbus  ( miss teen ohio pageant ):  $10,000 scholarship, season passes to king’s island —  miss teen franklin county second runner-up  ( miss teen ohio pageant ):  $5,000 scholarship

SPONSORSHIPS

if you ask jordan about it, she’ll joke that her hand still hurts from all the letters she wrote asking community business owners and organizations to sponsor her for the miss teen ohio pageant so she could afford materials for a gown, as well as the steep application and pageant fees. she’ll throw in that she considered becoming ambidextrous so she could write out all the thank-you notes she needed to, as well. a huge thank-you goes out to george and martha’s, jim’s body shop, wilmington tire & lube, the community foundation of franklin county, and the historic columbus theatre for making it possible for jordan to compete.

PAGEANT PLATFORM

when jordan initially started prepping for the pageant circuit, her platform was advocating for affordable and accessible food banks to under-funded communities in order to battle hunger and food deserts in the state of ohio. while it’s a good platform to have, it became apparent early on that it was something of a standard among pageant contestants; if it’s not food shortage and malnutrition, it’s clean energy, reducing your carbon footprint, saving trees, adopt don’t shop  —  a lot of things that blend together in the same avenue of nice, but forgettable.

six months into competing, jordan changes her platform to advocating for victims of sexual violence. she partners with a local organization to raise awareness to the growing problem with sexual violence in the state and the nation, how victims are affected short and long-term, and what resources are needed to help victims heal and move forward. her goal, with her platform, is to help victims get away from their abusers and find the strength to stand on their own through a program that helps set them up with housing and furniture. she does not speak on her own personal journey as a rape victim.

TALENT

while coming up with a platform and speaking on it was bumpy initially, prepping a talent was as easy and natural as breathing for jordan. she always sings; it’s the easiest talent for people to connect to, it’s something everyone understands, and her repertoire is long enough and diverse enough to carry her to top scores within the talent portion. selections she’s done range from celine dion, to adele, to alicia keys; while vocal performance is a key strength of hers, she doesn’t rest on that and still prepares, just as she would for any performance or audition.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

taken from the miss teen columbus pageant

Q:if you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be and why?

the one piece of advice I would give myself is, don’t worry about doing everything right. it’s easy to tell yourself that you always have to be the best at everything and you always need to strive for perfection, but it’s okay to slip up and make mistakes. it’s a huge part of growing up, and it’s the only way to learn and grow as a person. just because you’ve messed up doesn’t mean you’re a bad person  —  that’s what makes you human.

Q:who is your biggest inspiration, and why?

my biggest inspiration has and will always be my abuela, liliana martinez. she’s the strongest person I’ve ever met  —  she immigrated to the united states when she was only sixteen years old, hardly spoke a word of english, and managed to build a beautiful life for herself and her family. she firmly believes in the value of hard work, family, and always helping others in whatever way you can. my abuela has instilled all those values in me, has taught me to find the joy in everything, and to always follow your passion and put your all into everything that you do. I think everyone would benefit from having an abuela, and I count my lucky stars because I am lucky to have one, and if I end up being even half the woman she is, I’ll have done good.

How They React to You Getting Hurt in Class

warnings: blood, injury, burns, mentions of broken bones

Harry Potter

After a few entire days of not seeing you, Harry was growing suspicious. He had thought that you had grown tired of him, maybe, or needed some sort of break, but when Ron began acting odd, he forced his friend to tell him what was going on.

The train moved fast towards Kings Cross Station, and you were no where in sight. “Cut to the chase. Where is (Y/N)?” Harry questioned angrily.

Ron huffed quietly and leaned his elbows on his knees. “Now, before you get angry with me, know she insisted that you not find out.” Ron began, but Harry simply stared at him, waiting for him to continue. “(Y/N) was hurt while practicing a potion for class. She is pretty badly burned, and Madame Pompfrey is healing her as quick as she can, but will be at the Burrow by Christmas,” Ron explained quickly, and fury spread on Harry’s face.

“She is hurt, and no one bothered to tell me?! What I’m your bloody mind thought that would be a good idea!” He shouted at his friend, simply infuriated at the thought.  He sat back on the seat, knowing too well that there was nothing he could do until he saw you.

Ron Weasley

Ron is worried beyond belief when he hears.  He knows you will be fine, and you are fine now, but he still gets worried as he bucks it to the Hospital Wing.  

He had caught wind that you were bitten by one of the plants during herbology, which injected poison into your body rapidly.  By the time he heard, you were cured, but just drowsy from the medications.  

He opened the door to the Hospital Wing, ignoring Madame Pompfrey’s angry cries, and enveloped your body into a hug the moment e saw you tucked into the one of the cots.  “You worried me!”  He hissed to you, and you only laughed gently, stroking his hair in response.

Draco Malfoy

When Draco caught wind that someone had hurt you in Charms class, he was simply infuriated.  It was an accident, without a doubt, but the accident left you on bed rest for two days with a broken nose, concussion, and black eye.  He hadn’t even gotten all the details as to what happened, only the name of the person who did it.

He marched into your Common Room when everyone was in classes, surpassing one first year’s wide, fearful eyes, and flung the door of your dorm open quickly.  “I will end the bloody rat who did this to you.  Just say the words,” he grumbled angrily, but you only laughed quietly, holding your hand out to him.

“Don’t bother, love.”  You smiled faintly him as you scooted over in your bed, patting the spot next to you.  “I’d much rather you put the energy towards keeping me company.”  You told him, and although he was still angry, he settled himself down enough to hold you as you cuddled against him.

Fred Weasley

Fred had actually been the one to hurt you.

Not purposely, of course, but still.

You were a chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and Fred had accidentally hit the bludger in your direction.  It was too late when the shouts of warning hit your ears, for the ball struck your stomach hard, and you hit the ground below you with a loud thump.  

After a moment of laying there, and your teammates running to you, you turned onto your knees, and became sick all over the Quidditch Pitch.  “(Y/N), love, are you okay?  I am so sorry,” Fred gushed upon reaching you, helping you to your feet and holding your body steady as he examined you.  

“I am going to kill you,” you told him between your labored breaths, trying to regain your composure and steady breathing.

George Weasley

You hadn’t actually gotten hurt during class.  In theory, you were supposed to still be in school, but you were seventeen now, and would rather be caught dead than returning to Hogwarts in its current state.  You were one of the decoy Harry Potter’s.

While George’s ear was severely injured, your arm was broken and placed into a sling by Remus Lupin.

Despite George’s serious injury, he still worried so much more about you, whether you were okay, how he could help, and even held your hand as Remus reset your bones.  He was a true gentleman, and you were so grateful for this.

Neville Longbottom

Neville was there when the creature had taken a hold off our arm in its mighty grip.  You were in you advanced Care for Magical Creatures class, and things were going quite smoothly, until someone coughed.  All hell broke loose then, as the creature you were caring for grew threatened and took you as its victim.  Its strong grip tightened around your arm, and the class could physically hear your bones shatter.  

You kept form crying out, and before long, the professor was able to reign in the creature as you laid on the ground in an injured, whimpering heap.  Neville was by your side in milliseconds, lifting you into his arms unlike anyone thought he could.  “Sh, it will be okay.  I’ve got you now,” he assured you as class was dismissed and the professor, yourself, and Neville made your way towards the castle to be healed.  The entire time, Neville murmured to you about how brave and daring you were, and how much he loved you.

Cedric Diggory

Like Neville, Cedric was there when you were hurt.  

In Potions class, you were next to a particularly ungifted individual.  Before too far into a complicated potion, his cauldron erupted in smoke, and before you could take cover, the pewter exploded, sending you backwards and against a shelf.  

You whimpered, gripping your head and feeling the blood on your fingers.  “Oh my,” you murmured, and before long, other students and Professor Snape were all around you.

“(Y/N), are you all right?”  Cedric asked you, helping you to your feet and steading you with his strong arms.  You blinked, trying to process what was going on, but failing.  

“No… No, I am not,” you answered, unable to hear more than one thing at a time.  Quickly, Professor Snape whisked you off to the Hospital Wing, with Cedric not far behind.

A speech by HRH The Prince of Wales at the Central Remembrance Ceremony in Berlin, 15.11.2020

Mr. President,

President of the Bundestag,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a particular honour to have been invited to speak here today, on this solemn and special occasion, and to join you in eternal remembrance of all victims of war and tyranny. In this memorable year, marking seventy-five years of peace and friendship between us, it gives my wife and myself such great pride to return to Germany, and to renew those enduring bonds between our two countries.

I have been coming to Germany since I was just thirteen years old, and first visited Berlin nearly fifty years ago. Over the decades, I have been struck by the ways in which this remarkable city embodies so much of the history of our continent, and all that we have been through. After the devastation of conflict, and the tragedy of division, it has not only endured but triumphed, liberated from flawed and distorted ideologies so that hope and the human spirit could prevail.

Berlin reminds us that the fortunes of all Europeans have been dependent on one another for centuries. The relationships we enjoy today are built on foundations dug deep in the bedrock of our common experience, anchored by bonds running North and South, East and West, through our diverse communities and across our borders.

The connections between the British and German people go back at least as far as the Roman Empire, evolving within a shared civilisation, and woven with threads drawn back and forth through the years. For many of us, those ties are personal, with family connections and associations which remain greatly treasured to this day.

Our people have prospered from one another through commerce, since the Hanseatic League established a trading relationship which continues to drive our shared prosperity. However, the relationship between us has always been so much more than a transactional one. We have long viewed each other with fascination - admiring of each other’s culture and inspired by each other’s ideas, we have influenced and borrowed from one another in a virtuous circle of reinforcing connections that have strengthened and enriched us both.

The examples are myriad. It was a German, Hans Holbein the Younger, who became the first celebrated artist in England. Half a century later, German was the first language into which Shakespeare was translated. The English landscape garden was brought to Germany by Prince Leopold III of Anhalt-Dessau who, inspired by the models of Stourhead and Stowe, laid out the magnificent gardens at Wörlitz of which I am proud to be Patron. Onecan scarcely imagine where the British musical tradition would be without the influence of Bach, Beethoven or Brahms; and the music of Georg Friedrich Handel, who was born a German but died British, has been played at the Coronation of every British Sovereign since that of my seven times great grandfather, King George II.

Throughout the nineteenth century, German scientific and artistic thought shaped British life, encouraged, in part, by the leadership of my great, great, great, grandfather, Prince Albert, The Prince Consort. German was a vitally important language for British academics to acquire, at a time when German immigration to Britain grew significantly and Schroders Bank and Reuters News Agency helped shape London’s global role. It was not as remarkable as it perhaps now seems, that at the outbreak of the First World War four members of the British cabinet had studied at German Universities. It is similarly striking, that in the years after that conflict, British students flocked back to Germany for the exposure to German culture that they, and their parents, considered to be so essential to their education.

Looking back through the prism of two world wars, with all the cruel distortions rendered by conflict and loss, so many of those close connections between Britain and Germany became obscured. And yet, as our countries, and our people, set to the difficult task of rebuilding this continent – and our trust in one another – the deep and historic well of shared experience from which we drew, enabled the seeds of reconciliation to take root and flourish.

And so, over these past seventy-five years, our two countries have been restored to our natural position of allies and friends. Britain was by Germany’s side through those extraordinary years of post-war reconstruction. We have watched, with profound admiration, the remarkable success of Germany’s peaceful reunification over the past thirty years, and with deep respect for the example that she has offered the world.

Today our countries stand together as indispensable partners in almost every field of endeavour imaginable, conscious of our past but confident about our future. As the message read on the wreath that you, Mr. President, laid at the Cenotaph in London two years ago this week, let us “remember side by side, grateful for reconciliation, hopeful for a future in peace and friendship.”

Reconciliation is a difficult but essential process, as I have seen in almost every corner of the globe, as well as on the islands of my own country. That we have healed so much division on our continent is cause for sustained gratitude and the utmost pride. However, as thankful as we should be for how far we have come, I know that many of you share my view that we must take nothing for granted.

We can never reconcile ourselves to the horrors of the past as simply the events of another age – distant, time bound, disconnected from our present lives. Nor can any of us assume that they are someone else’s burden to bear. Instead, the searing relevance of the past to the present day, and to our future, makes it our solemn and shared responsibility to ensure that heartbreaking lessons are learned and heeded by each successive generation.

The former Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom, Rabbi Lord Sacks, who so tragically died earlier this month, wrote that “a future of reconciliation can, in some measure at least, retrospectively redeem the past.” He was quite right, of course. Otherwise not only do we compound past wrongs and amplify their effect, but we fail all those who struggled and died for a better tomorrow.  

In this, we must work together. We must remain vigilant against threats to our values and our freedoms; and never rest in seeking to create mutual understanding and respect. We must be resolute in addressing acts of unspeakable cruelty against people for reasons of their religion, their race or their beliefs, wherever they occur in the world. We must stand alongside each other in determined defence of the future we owe our children and our grandchildren.  

The challenges to that future are manifest – whether from this dreadful pandemic which threatens not just our public health but our prosperity and security; or from the existential threat to our planet, and our way of life, from climate change and catastrophic biodiversity loss.

These crises demand that we act together, and the partnership between the United Kingdom and Germany offers such a vital opportunity in this regard. We are heavily invested in each other’s futures, such that our national interests, whilst distinct, will always be entwined.  

Our countries are instinctive problem-solvers, working together to find innovative and practical solutions to the challenges we see in the world around us – on global health and vaccine development; clean growth and renewable energy; forest protection and biodiversity; and climate action in developing countries. Together, we stand resolutely in defence of our shared values, as champions of human rights and the Rules Based International System. Together, we are an indispensable force for good in our world.

The English poet, John Donne, famously wrote that “no man is an island entire of itself.  Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” One might equally submit that no country is really an island either, other than in the wholly literal sense. Our histories bind us tightly together and our destinies, although each our own to forge, are interdependent to a considerable degree.

Mr. President, President of the Bundestag, Ladies and Gentlemen,

The United Kingdom has chosen a future outside the European Union, and the relationship between our countries is evolving once again.  Its shape is a matter negotiated between our governments and its essence is defined by the enduring connections between our people.  It is, therefore, my heartfelt belief that the fundamental bond between us will remain strong: we will always be friends, partners and allies.

As our countries begin this new chapter in our long history, let us reaffirm our bond for the years ahead. Let us reflect on all that we have been through together, and all that we have learned. Let us remember all victims of war, tyranny and persecution; those who laid down their lives for the freedoms we cherish, and those who struggle for these freedoms to this day. They inspire us to strive for a better tomorrow – let us make this our common cause.
