Israel math really isn't mathing. If they know Hamas has hostages, why are they bombing Gaza relentlessly? Why have they promised in front of the entire world that they will carpet bomb Gaza and turn it to rubble? Don't you want your hostages safe? Or do you know where they are but you're not saving them on purpose so you can continue your genocide?
#i wanna write more because sooo many things don't add uo#there is footage of dead bodies dead babies destruction from gaza every hour.....nothing from Israel except random cringe weird propaganda#or some cruel tweet from their politicians#i have so much to write#i just saw another video of a huge pile of c0rp$es in gaza...#everyone in the world has lost their credibility#forever#everyone who harps on about human rights#i wonder if people in the west are following these updates from gaza...who will hold your politicians accountable?#palestine#free palestine#israel#gaza

"I'm a therian, but even this is too much!"
"This is clinical lycanthropy..." (is a video of a child crying, saying she wishes she were a cat. Literally not related to clinical lycanthropy whatsoever.)
"I'm a therian, but we don't act like that!!!"
"I may be a therian, but..."
SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP.
I have lost every ounce of respect for you as a creature. You should be ashamed of yourself. They don't deserve your rudeness, you deserve it. There's no way you used your identity to try to "look better" by acknowledging someone else is "weirder" than you, and therefore more credible for being the "better weird one". You're nothing but a bully. You're nothing but just like the people you claim to hate (anti-therians). You are JUST like them. No excuses.
Fun fact, you are NOT better than the therian that does quads simply because you claim "quads are too weird lol!111!!!1!!!!" You are NOT better than the therian that has a common theriotype. You are NOT better than ANYBODY for being what you are as a nonhuman.
In my eyes, you are anti-therian if you don't support all therians and how they experience their identity. Point-blank. I don't care. You're just an anti-therian. How can you say "I support therians!" yet make fun of another therian for wishing they were their theriotype??? Nonhuman bullies try not to piss me the fuck off challenge.
This is in heavy regards to the young therian I saw on my timeline crying about not being the same species as her pet cat. I am so sorry that the world, especially the internet, is so cruel to you. Even if you never see this post, I still see you for what you are. You are a cat to me. Even if everyone else says otherwise, you. are. a. cat. I see what you truly are. Your body doesn't match, but that doesn't change what you are. I feel so sorry for her. I'm so sorry that you are so young, and are experiencing such terrible lashings from bullies. You are a valid therian, and you aren't "crazy", "messed up", or delusional. You are being yourself, and people can't handle that. I'm so sorry.
Edit: Found out it was satire, and now I'm a bit more peeved. I can't believe I fell for that (it was convincing, at least to me, not going to lie). Looks like I'm just going to be blocking myself entirely out of the TikTok side of the therian community for my own sanity. You can't even tell who's acting in good faith or not.

Cowboy Bebop oc: Niah Foxx
Niah Foxx. A twentieth century woman born in the 90's. She was one of the many victims frozen in time during cryogenic slumber due to the catastrophic gate disaster. And Niah awakens in the future to an alarming, new reality that turns her world upside down. Everything, everyone she once knew is gone. Life seems familiar, yet, life speaks to her as if a stranger. And she soon gains knowledge how mankind has taken to the stars, abandoning planet earth, their beautiful home now left alone . . . almost desolate.
Niah believes she don't belong in this new era, believes she don't mold into this new standard of society where crime and lawlessness abound across the solar system. People have lost touch with themselves, authenticity is absent, and people exchange credibility of truth for dishonest gain.

when they hug you
PAIRING: tartaglia, xiao, venti, kaeya, diluc, zhongli x reader
SYNOPSIS: when is his embrace the most memorable?
CONTENTS: cursing. indirect mentions of death in xiao and zhongli's parts.
childe spins you around in his arms the second he returns home from another one of his missions. you two collapse in the snow, laughing like children and smiling so hard your faces hurt. being in his arms again feels like home — for both of you.
"haven't seen you in a while, hm? c'mon, let's go grab a drink while you tell me all about what's happened while i was gone, yeah?"
xiao pulls you close in the middle of the night when his mind starts to replay every battle he's ever been through, every friend he's lost, and every time he thought it was over for him. his arms find their way around you because he wants to know that you're still there – to ensure you won't slip through his fingers, just like everyone else did.
"just making sure you're stil— ah, i mean, keeping you safe. go back to sleep. oh, me? i don't need that much sleep. don't worry about me."
venti wraps his arms around you whenever he gets the chance. it's usually for comfort or out of laziness — primarily the latter. sometimes he'd just plop down next to you in the tavern and wrap his arms around your shoulders and lay there, drunkenly mumbling something you can't make out until you finally agree to take him home.
"huh, why is everything so blurry?! i can't— don't let me go, or i'll fall! and if i fall then i- huh? you won't let me fall . . . ? good!"
kaeya wraps his arms around your waist when he has a point to prove, whether it's to you or to the world. if he's trying to make a point to someone else, boom, your pretty face is in between his arms as visual credibility. and god forbid that he's trying to make a point to you, because he'll have no problem trapping you in his arms for as long as it takes to get you to agree with him on whatever the matter is.
"tch, is someone getting distracted? eyes up here, babe. look me in the eye while i tell you why i'm right about this."
diluc hugs you long and hard after a shitty day. he probably has a terrible headache and muscles in desperate need of a massage, but your hand trailing down his back makes everything a little more bearable.
"fuck, my head is killing me. help your boyfriend out and give him a drink or two, yeah? or a massage. actually, i'd prefer that, love. you're the best."
zhongli holds you in his arms when you're about to leave. maybe it's to go to work, maybe you need groceries, and maybe you even just want to step outside. he always wants to make sure that you leave with a good memory of him — having lived for thousands of years, he knows all too well how unpredictable life is. he never wants to have the regret of seeing you for the last time without a smile on your face.
"bye, darling. i'll see you soon, stay safe... yes, i know i say the same thing every time you leave. why shouldn't i?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE: i had a three year long childe phase </3

BTS Military enlistment thoughts...
These are my thoughts and opinions. Information is out there if you seek it yourself. Nothing has been confirmed by any of the members or the company.
News media says Korean male citizens Kim Namjoon, Kim Taehyung, Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook will be enlisting soon: Dec. 11 for the first two and Dec. 12 for the latter pair.
And that Jimin and Jungkook seem to have chosen the companion enlistment option. Yes, "option" because they could have chosen to go in separately.
Koreans who are familiar with how this all works, have tried to explain the process. From what I understand, the companion option allows them to serve their entire enlistment together.
They weren't forced and this wasn't their only option for enlistment. They chose this themselves for a reason, for personal reasons, that none of us can know because we aren't them.
Many speculate but NO ONE KNOWS their reasons!
According to various sources, they will be at the same training center as Jin. There are many groups doing ongoing training there. But I don't believe they will be in the same company that Jin serves as assistant trainer. Credible sources say that Jin's unit at the training center is not accepting recruits on Dec. 12 which is the supposed date that Jimin and Jungkook will enter the military but we don't know for sure. But being at the same training center would allow them to see each other when they have time.
This reunion:
We won't know for sure until it actually happens.
Many are throwing around wild speculation regarding the fact Jimin and Jungkook are the only two with tattoos and therefore had fewer options. But they aren't. All the members have tattoos now. The Korean military needs all the manpower they can get, they aren't excluding men with tattoos, they are just limiting the situations they can serve.
The options are limited (and only slightly) for them because very visible tattoos, especially on the arms and hands, would allow them to be identified too easily. This is a consideration and criteria that is regulated in militaries and law enforcement around the world and is not isolated to Korea. Criminals are identified by their tattoos. Military personnel can also be identified by visible tattoos. In a situation where it is imperative that enlisted remain anonymous, hand tattoos would be a dead giveaway for identification. I'm sure there are other reasons for no tattoos allowed in certain assignments.
The application process began months ago and is the same process all Korean male citizens would go through to be approved for the companion program.
No one is really discussing Tae and Namjoon, everyone is going batshit crazy over Jimin and Jungkook. Let them do their service in the manner they wish. None of you have any say-so in it so shut up.
No one is capable of or even wants to step back and consider the big picture which is more telling.
Regarding Tae and Namjoon, I would venture to say that after basic training, its possible Namjoon will serve in some capacity with the Defense Ministry's Agency for KIA Recovery & Identification which he was named ambassador for earlier this year. That office is located in Seoul I believe. The fact he is well-known publicly and he can speak English would enhance his success in an assignment of this sort. This agency recovers those who lost their lives in action during the Korean War in which American soldiers also perished.
Recovering those KIA happens near or in the DMZ.
IF the hearsay about where Jimin and Jungkook might be assigned after training has any truth, they are supposedly headed to this area as they also perform minesweeping when searching for KIA remains. Again, none of this is confirmed, I am just employing critical thinking...
Tae supposedly has chosen the Special Task Force of the Army's Capital Defense Command. That seems like it implies he'll remain within Seoul during his enlistment.
It's all speculation, but I think these men carefully considered their options and the ramifications. None of this was done on a whim, from Namjoon's ambassadorship and the possibilities of it, to Jimin and Jungkook's companion enlistment and why they chose that option, NONE OF IT WAS DONE WITHOUT CAREFUL CONSIDERATION. They had to apply MONTHS ago for the options they were allowed to choose. They are not the only men in Korea enlisting this year, there are tens of thousands of others.
No one is considering, IF Namjoon is in Seoul during his enlistment, he would have something in common with Tae. And Yoongi. And Jin will be discharged in June, Hobi will be discharged in October... the implications, the connections... their target is 2025. Nothing is a coincidence. They can't be working while enlisted, however reuniting briefly with friends over dinner and drinks is allowed... what they talk about during their get togethers is none of our business.
ALL THAT BEING SAID... Hybe did a tremendous job this past summer with the 10th anniversary Festa celebration, involving various municipality governments, procuring large corporate sponsors and communicating to news media in the almost month long series of events. They elevated the general public's awareness of BTS's impact and therefore instilled value and pride for their continued success.
No military commander would want anything to happen to the members while under their watch.
NOTHING IS A COINCIDENCE.
P.S.: The idiots sending in emails to the Defense Ministry are hurting EVERYONE. The level of lunacy knows no bounds with certain people. They suffer from a pathological psychosis. Don't engage, don't acknowledge.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 26
Dark dreams pulled Steve from sleep. It was 3:37 AM according to his phone.
With a sigh, he pulled himself out of bed, propping his pillow behind his wife’s back in his place. She was sound asleep and that had him smiling. The night before in the bath had been delicious. He had her again later in bed.
She’d need to sleep in after that.
So much raw emotion welled up in his chest as he watched her. His wife took up a lot of room when she slept, sprawling over the bed at night. Over him. He loved it, especially now that she mostly slept nude as he did. She was beautiful, her radiance and confidence growing by the day.
As he got dressed, he kept stealing glances at her. She’d brought a hell of a lot more than just status into his life. His wife challenged him. She challenged everyone. As delicate as she appeared now, asleep in his bed, she was formidable as a lioness, especially when defending those she cared about.
Steve couldn’t wait to have children with her. How fierce would their sons be? Hell, his daughters would be fierce too. He hoped they looked like her.
Making his way downstairs, thoughts of the family he wanted faded like dreams as he reached his study, returning to reality. Wincing in the light when he flicked it on, he saw the office was just as neat and sterile as it had ever been. Steve always had strict rules about who was allowed in his study, just like his father had.
Those rules didn’t apply to his wife, he realized, who came and went from his center of business as she damn well pleased.
Those memories he loved. Holding her in his chair, spanking her over the desk. Twice. That last one had to led to him just taking her like a beast on that refined wooden surface. It had him stirring just thinking about it. Steve wanted more memories like that. He wanted more.
What would it be like seeing toys littering the floor one day? Or to have little drawings left for him on his desk?
With a deep sigh, he sank heavily into his chair.
Ever since his wife had entered his life, she’d blurred the lines between his personal life and business. Steve walked a fine line between frustration and ecstasy the entire time with her, his need for her so often consuming his thoughts.
In the meantime, everything he thought he had control of was unraveling.
Barnes was coming for him, swiftly and methodically, and he needed to deal with that before he lost respect and credibility in that dark world. The fact that his rival was getting away with hitting his turf made Steve look weak, incompetent. Barnes striking his home, his family’s home, demanded a harsh answer. His leadership of the families would be defined by the decision he made here.
But Steve also needed to protect his family. And hadn’t he done a poor job of that lately? His sister had been severely beaten by her husband and before that Clint had been shot. Hansen’s attack on their home left Belova and Dyson both laid up.
His enemies seemed as obsessed with his wife as he was. If Hansen had gotten his hands on her…
Barnes had more than adequately demonstrated that no one was beyond his reach.
That had to change.
Steve had tried to be diplomatic in calling the meeting with the other family leaders. He wouldn’t make that mistake again. Why was he trying to win the other families over when at least one of them was gunning for his?
“Up early, boss?” Luca looked in, making Steve realize he didn’t remember to close the door.
Steve nodded.
The portly cook walked just inside the office door. It was the only time of the day he ever saw the man in a pristine white apron.
“Your father used to do the same thing. Couldn’t sleep the night before. He’d just get up and get started. Always admired that about him.”
Steve snorted. “Probably never found himself in a situation this fucked up.”
“Sure he did,” Luca told him. “Someone challenged him, he hit them hard, and he hit them fast. That’s all. No mercy. No regrets.”
Luca made it sound so easy.
“You got a new consigliere yet?” Luca asked.
Steve nodded. “I’m going with Murdock.”
Luca nodded his approval. “Good choice. We’ll see what he’s made of these next few weeks.”
That was an understatement.
“I’m calling a meeting this evening,” Steve told him. “If I remember right Dyson’s going to get medical tests this morning?”
“That’s right,” the cook said. “Him and Belova both. They should be back from the hospital by this afternoon. We sending Scott with them?”
Steve shook his head. “I’ll be here all day. Send Neal.”
Luca nodded, closing the door behind him on the way out of the office.
Steve would spend some time getting his thoughts together. Then, with his crew, they’d decide how best to deal with Barnes.
***
Dyson smiled when she made her way from the exam room back out to the waiting area.
“How did it go?” he asked.
Yelena smiled back. “The CT scan didn’t show any damage. They also did a Brain Trauma Indicator test, but it will be a couple of days before we get the results of that.”
Dyson rose from his chair, and she hoped that meant they were ready to head back to the house. While she took some comfort from the fact that Mrs. Rogers’ husband was there with her – and she had Scott, Luca, and Clint – things were just so tense right now. So dangerous.
She would feel much better once she got back.
Dyson shrugged as they walked out of the office area to head back into the reception area of the hospital. “I’m just old.”
He laughed with her as they found the lobby where there were gift shops, a cafeteria, and an information desk. Neal sat not far from that desk with the paper in his hand. So much for being there to keep her and Dyson safe. He looked like he could really care less.
Neal couldn’t have cared less when Bruce Banner had been about to knock the shit out of her boss. Scott pulled Mrs. Rogers back but that wouldn’t have stopped him. And she was still cursing herself for not hearing the commotion sooner than she did.
Neal noticed the two of them a beat before they reached him. Dyson cleared his throat loudly, telling Yelena he was as unhappy with the soldier as she was.
“Ready to go?” Neal sounded bored.
“Yeah,” Dyson grumbled. “Go get the car, will ya?”
Yelena was hard put not to laugh as Neal glared at him, folding up the paper. His knuckles were white as he gripped that paper and marched toward the exit to do as he was told.
Just as he was walking out the electric doors at the hospital’s entrance, a familiar figure in teal-colored scrubs was walking in. Agnes spotted Yelena in an instant, smiling brightly.
Her heart nearly stopped in her chest.
Of course Neal recognized her, slowing down and glancing over his shoulder to get a good look. He would remember she came to the Rogers’ home. He’d already mentioned thinking she looked familiar. It wouldn’t be hard for him to put the pieces together and figure out why she really came that day.
It was the worst timing imaginable.
Dyson didn’t know either, so she had to fake a smile when Agnes walked up. It wasn’t her fault, and Yelena talked to her for moment. Her ID badge announcing her position as an RN was right there in plain sight.
“Let me know when the lady of the house needs another manicure,” Agnes said, a big wink and then she headed off to work.
Beyond the glass entrance, she could see Neal pulled up to the door in the car. She felt Dyson’s attention on her. She took a step but his hand on his shoulder stayed her.
“That’s the lady you brought to the house to do Mrs. Rogers manicure?” he asked.
Yelena nodded. “She does it as a side hustle,” she tried.
“She’s an RN according to her badge,” Dyson pointed out.
She shrugged, turning to meet his gaze. “So? She does a good job. Mrs. Rogers was happy with how her nails turned out.”
Yelena tried to continue walking. This time Dyson jerked her to a halt.
“Please tell me you didn’t do what I think you did,” he said, dead serious.
“I don’t know what you mean.” Yelena played dumb. She wasn’t counting on it to work but she had to try.
“Yes, you do.” Dyson blew out an exhale.
Yelena shook her head. “Mrs. Rogers is perfectly healthy. What other reason would I have to bring Agnes to the house?”
“To make it so Mrs. Rogers don’t get pregnant,” Dyson said, scrubbing a hand down his face. “Oh, my God. Do you know how bad this is?”
Yelena didn’t deny it. But she didn’t drop her gaze. The deed was done now. What did he expect her to say?
“Did she put you up to this?” he asked.
Now her heart slammed on her chest. If she said yes and this went as badly as she suspected it was about to, Yelena would have betrayed Mrs. Rogers. And she couldn’t live with that.
But if she said it was her own idea, and it most definitely was, she jeopardized her own position. And Lloyd was still out there. And Dyson knew it.
“Fuck,” Dyson muttered a little too loudly. “You know Neal recognized your nurse friend, right?”
She wasn’t stupid.
“The trick here is to keep him from telling the boss what he thinks happened here,” Dyson explained. “And he’ll think exactly what I think.”
Now Yelena was seeing red. “I know he’d like nothing better than getting Mrs. Rogers in trouble with her husband.”
She could tell Dyson didn’t expect her to say that, but it was the truth.
“When Banner showed up at the house, the only one protecting her from him was Lang,” she insisted. “I was down there as soon as I heard the commotion. Neal? He would have let Banner have her.”
Now the older man looked appalled. “Why the fuck would he do that?”
“Because he doesn’t like Mrs. Rogers,” Yelena said. “And he doesn’t appear to have her best interests at heart. That puts her in danger because the boss trusts him implicitly.”
“Neal’s earned that,” Dyson replied.
“So much so that the boss should choose him over his own wife?”
Dyson shook his head. “Come on.” He motioned towards the car with Neal watching them from the driver’s seat. “I got to try and get to the boss before Neal does or there will be absolute hell to pay.”
She was all too afraid he was right.
“He’s going to ask if there was a problem,” Dyson instructed her. “When he does, you act pissy. I’ll tell him you didn’t get one of the tests I wanted you to. Got it?”
“Yes, sir.”
Sending up every prayer she knew, Yelena followed him out to the car.
***
You made it back to your room, still winded because you’d practiced for nearly two hours today. Sitting on the edge of your bed, you removed your pointe shoes, the band-aids and tape beneath. You winced at the fresh blister forming on the outside of the smallest toe on your left foot.
What you’d planned to wear the rest of the day was already laid out on your bed, you just needed undergarments and socks and you’d be ready to shower. You smiled when you opened the drawer where you kept your intimates to see the satin red thong there that went with the teddy you bought in New York for Valentine’s Day last week.
Well, Steve bought it for you after surprising you in the city when you thought you’d catch holy hell for being out of the house.
What a night that had been. Your heart still fluttered to think about it.
The hum of your phone on your bedside table got your attention. Maybe it was Yelena. You hoped her and Dyson’s medical tests went well.
The text was from Yelena, but it stopped you in your tracks.
I'm so sorry.
You stared at the text message from Yelena on your phone, wondering what the hell that meant. Your heart was sped up as you typed a reply asking if she and Dyson were okay.
You heard voices beyond your window. Peering out, you saw the black Jeep had pulled up, watched your husband climb out and march towards the front door. You hadn’t realized he left the house, but he sure seemed on a mission to return to it.
We are fine. I’m worried about you.
What?
Her next text came a beat later.
Neal figured out who Agnes is.
You froze in place. Holy shit. If Neal knew who Agnes really was, he had an idea of why she came to your house. And if he didn’t figure it out, Steve would.
Telling Steve would be the first thing Neal would do with that information.
Steve’s tread was loud on the stairs, pounding in time with your heart. Steve was coming and you had nowhere to go, no time to prepare.
The door of your shared bedroom flew open, and Steve slammed it behind him, his face flushed from the cold, from anger. His blue-eyed gaze found you fast, and there you stood in leotard, leggings, and bare feet. You were sweaty, tired, with your hair pulled back from your face.
As much of a sweaty mess as you were, your husband looked as well-groomed as always. He peeled off the leather jacket he wore and tossed it over the chair at your vanity. The deep wine of the sweater he wore with jeans emphasized the angry color seeping out of his collar.
Dropping your phone on the edge of your bed, you folded your arms across your chest, bracing yourself for the storm that was coming.
Steve took in your stance. A muscle at his jaw flexed.
“We need to talk,” he said with a tight voice.
You just nodded. What else could you do?
You calm demeanor only seemed to piss him off more.
“Tell me about your manicure a few weeks ago,” Steve demanded, moving closer to the bed.
You held your ground. You didn’t like the way he was trying to set you up.
“I already did,” you said. “You said you liked my nails. Remember?”
His scowl deepened. “What was the woman’s name?”
“Agnes.”
“And was this manicure your idea?” Bitterness crept into his tone.
It was hard to hold your tongue. That question put you on the spot. If you said no, and you were pretty sure you told him Yelena arranged it to lift your spirits, he would get rid of her. And you needed her. As your friend and as a protector.
That meant you had to take the blame. And you weren’t sure you were ready for the consequences of that…
“It was,” you said finally. It wasn’t entirely true, but it was the course you chose.
Steve paused, surprised at your admission. His throat worked as he swallowed hard, just staring at you.
“She did more than your nails.” Steve shook his head. “The injection is good for three months, right?”
Wait. Agnes said that there would be no medical record of the injection. Had she lied to you? Or did he…?
“How do you know it was an injection?” you had to ask.
“Neal paid Agnes a visit at the hospital today.”
Steve knew everything.
“What did Neal do?” You were seeing red now. “Agnes isn’t in this. If he hurt her...”
“Neal warned her,” Steve told you.
Neal was intimidating. The poor woman just came to do you a favor.
“Neal is good at subduing women,” you told him. “Guess I shouldn’t be surprised.”
“Meaning?”
“Meaning he wasn’t so quick to protect me when Banner stormed in this house,” you said. “Scott pulled me away. Yelena saved me.”
“Don’t try to shift the blame for this to Neal,” Steve said. “Neal has proven his loyalty to me.”
“I’m not one of your men,” you shot back. “I’m your wife.”
“And a wife’s duty is to give her husband a family. To take care of that family.” New emotion entered his voice. He wasn’t just angry. “Why? Why would you go behind my back and do this?”
You shook your head, frustration welling up in you fast. Was he serious?
When you didn’t say anything, he charged forward, grabbing your chin in his large hand. His grip hurt as he pulled you to him by your face.
“You know what I want,” he said angrily, his face inches from yours. “Every time I’ve made love to you, I was hoping that was it. That was the one. And it would only be a few weeks after that when you’d be waiting here for me for a different reason. To tell me I was going to be a father.”
When he shoved you away from him hard, you stumbled back. The bed was right behind you, and you tumbled onto the edge of it.
“But here we are,” he growled.
Your own temper flared at that. You were going to be punished for this. You knew that. You weren’t going meekly. You weren’t just handing him a victory like he’d been handed everything else in his goddamn life.
“Here we are,” you said. “And once again, it’s all about what you want. About what you expect.”
“Enough!” he yelled. “This is the part where you remind me that you had no choices. I know. Your father hid you away and then I forced you to marry me. And I’m sorry, I truly am, that he didn’t even try to be a father to you.”
The venom in his voice told you he wasn’t trying to make you feel better. Steve’s fury was palpable, you could feel it coming off him in waves.
“Want to know what I regret?” Steve asked. “I regret that he didn’t try to prepare you for the world. He should have taught you your place.”
You would have agreed with him if you hadn’t been so angry yourself.
“No, he did just what he was supposed to, according to you. He didn’t spend time with my mother, or my brother and I from what I hear. She tried to get us out of your world.”
“She found a lover.” Steve moved closer. “If she hadn’t done that, maybe she and your brother would still be alive.”
Jumping off the end of the bed, you marched forward and slapped him across the face with all your strength. It was satisfying to see his head turn with your blow, but he was quick to recover.
“I wasn’t prepared,” you told him angrily. “I haven’t been married before. I never had a lover before. You’ve had many. You’ve had time to enjoy life and learn what you like, what you want. You’re at a place in life where you want to start a family. I haven’t had that time or experience. What? I was just supposed to spread my legs and pop out babies because that’s what you wanted?”
“You didn’t have a lot of experiences in your life,” Steve pointed out. “I considered it an advantage.”
You snorted. “I’m sure you did.”
“Somehow all of this lack of experiences wasn’t a problem until you married me,” he said.
“Is that what you thought?” you asked. “I’d go from being his hidden little girl to your dutiful wife? That just makes you naïve.”
Scrubbing a hand over his beard, Steve stared you down. “You might have a point there. I was naïve in just letting you run free in this marriage. Letting you do what you wanted.”
“I’ve asked for so much,” you shot back, sarcasm bleeding into your tone.
“I gave you the bodyguard you wanted,” Steve snapped. “I had to find out she was training you with weapons when Hansen attacked my home. You hid that from me. I allowed it. Now I find out you hid your little contraceptive shot from me. I can’t trust you. What else have you hidden or lied to me about?”
Steve was right. You had hidden things from him.
“What is your problem with starting a family?” he wanted to know. His gaze swept over you. “What else are you going to do? You’re fit. You could probably have children and get right back in shape after.”
“So I’m vain?” you asked.
“Are you?” Steve asked. “You’ll have the best doctors, the best care. You can hire personal trainers if you're worried about your figure. We can hire people to help you with them once they're born. Nannies, tutors. Whatever you want.”
Now you were staring him down. “Don’t you know how that sounds? You want us to be parents and you’re already planning on how to let other people raise them.”
“Excuse me?” That pissed him off.
“I had all of that,” you said. “Nannies, tutors, governesses. What I didn’t have was a good relationship with my father. I didn’t have a mother or a sibling because of your world. I’m not saying I don’t want children one day. But I’d like to reach the point you have where I’ve lived a life and I’m ready for that.”
“Did you ever think of trying to tell me that? I thought we were finally on the same page. That we wanted the same things. You let me believe that,” he said bitterly.
“Would you have listened?” you asked. “And maybe I did let you believe that I could pregnant. But I was afraid. How could I enjoy sex when each time I was worried that would be the one? And I’d be pushed into something I wasn’t ready for. Responsible for a child.”
The hurt showing on his face surprised you. “You enjoyed sex with me because you knew you weren’t going to get pregnant?”
Your heart lurched. You felt like so much was riding on your answer, and you were angry.
But it was truth, damn it. Hiding things was how you got here.
“Yes,” you said slowly. “I would hope you’d understand why. I wasn’t even familiar with sex. I just wanted time.”
“You just wanted to take control away from me.” Steve’s glare made you pause.
“I thought you wanted me to trust you? You said you hoped one day this marriage would be something I needed too.”
“I thought you loved me,” he said with a finality that had fear spiking in you.
Faster than you could blink, Steve snatched your phone off the bed and shoved it into the pocket of his jeans. The speed of his movements had you flinching. He noticed.
“What are you doing?” you asked, sounding way less confident now.
“Taking control of my household,” he said coldly. “Just like I’m getting ready to take care of business with the families. What do you think I’m doing?”
You swallowed hard. Steve’s gaze on you was assessing. He could read you so easily.
“Thought I’d spank you?” His smile didn’t reach his eyes. “I think you’d enjoy that.”
Humiliation had your face heating up, remember the last one that you’d provoked.
“I should have done this from the beginning.”
“What do you mean?” you had to ask.
Steve moved back, putting a distance between you.
“Your injection is good for another four weeks,” he said. “We’ll resume our marriage then.”
What?
“Resume our marriage?” Your voice pitched higher than you would have like. But he caught you off guard. “What does that mean?”
“That means when that shot has reached the end of its efficacy, I’ll be back. Until then, you’ll stay in this room. My men will bring you meals and anything you need for toiletries and supplies. But that’s it.”
Oh, this wasn’t good. This wasn’t good at all.
“Your men?” You had to be careful now. “What about Yelena?”
“She’s done,” Steve said curtly. “She’s worked her last day in this house. She just makes you worse.”
Tears stung the backs of your eyes. It was exactly what you feared.
“You can watch television but I have your phone,” Steve continued. “And your laptop is downstairs.”
And he was cutting you off from the rest of the world, from any support. Tears streamed from your eyes. Some from regret, most from anger. You blinked them back as you considered the weeks ahead.
And what you’d done to Yelena. What if losing this job put her in danger? What if Hansen got to her?
“When I come back, we will get to work on starting a family,” he informed you. “Just maybe you’ll be more grateful by then.”
“Or I’ll hate you.”
Steve shook his head, marching for the door of the bedroom you’d been sharing. “I’ll find another place to sleep in the meantime.”
“I’m sure you will,” you said through your tears. Visions of him with Kat flashed in your mind, threatening to break you.
And with that Steve marched out of the room. You heard the lock turn a beat later.

I don't usually comment on this stuff, like at most I'll just find post I agree with and reblog it but I wanted to share my own thoughts on this:
In light of the leaks and all the spoilers and people commenting on the first two episodes. I'll just say, the anti/critical crowd has lost any and all credibility to me. I don't even mean this in a disparaging or negative way, I just legitimately can not trust their takes anymore. This isn't because I'm a stan who can't stand anyone not liking something they like. I don't care if you like vivziepop's shows or not. Like or don't like whatever you want The reason why I can't can't trust anti/critical takes anymore is because I've seen the most bad faith criticism and takes. I've seen it for the episodes I've seen so since I can't/won't watch the two hazbin episodes yet I'm gonna guess it'll be about the same for those. Like just off the top of my head i've seen takes from ciritics that are like: Somehow it's bad writing for Ozzie to make a whole point about consent, that it's somehow bad for the angels to be similar to the demons (which is the whole point, the point is they're not so different from the demons and the angels are massive hypocrites), Stella never physically abused Stolas 'cause he caught her hand before she could hit him, that somehow this scene between two disabled characters is somehow bad:
not even "it was bad representation because (x,y,z reasons)" Just...it was somehow bad to have this in the episode at all and how the writing for this would've apparently been better if the kid dealt with ableism or was mistreated before this.
And these are from people who at least watch the show/know the basic info about the show since I could be here all day if we go into the misinformation and flat out lies that muddy up the water. Not to mention the harassment being flung at both fans and people working on the shows. I've seen antis/criticals start attacking the people behind prehistoric planet and how the show is now ruined because Vivziepop made a post simply saying she was a fan of it. I've also seen people admitting to lying about working for Spindlehorse so they can lie about how bad the working conditions were. I would genuinely be willing to hear criticism of both the shows and crew if so much of it wasn't obviously done purely in bad faith and there were way less people willing to literally lie and fabricate things to make the shows and crews seem worse than they actually are.
Again I don't care if anyone likes the shows and crew or not. Like I said earlier everyone's entitled to their opinion and nothing/no one is perfect. I just get frustrated about (the lack of) media literacy and care about the very real world consequences that can come from some of the stuff being said/posted. For there to be any kind of actual conversation about this, and not just two camps of people yelling at each other, first, the harassment just needs to stop all together. No one deserves harassment, especially over something as frivolous as a tv show. Next, we need to get rid of misinformation especially when it relates to real people. Actually look into the info you're spreading or see being talked about, make corrections and admit if something ended up being wrong/misinformed.

Skeleton slips on a banana.
All skellies except Willow.
Undertale Sans - He stays the face buried in the floor and refuses to move again. It's pretty clear the world doesn't want him to wake up today so he's not going to struggle and accept his fate. Call him when it's time to eat.
Undertale Papyrus - Papyrus is MAD. He just lost the dish he cooked all morning. He's cursing and screaming, and then he just stops. Who put that comically well-placed banana on the floor? ".... SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!!!!!!!!!" The whole house is shaking because of how loud he is. Even Sans knows better than to go out of his room for now lol.
Underswap Sans - He's not amused. He was about to break his record on his morning jogging and that stupid banana ruined everything! He doesn't even like bananas! He's stomping the thing until there's nothing of it left.
Underswap Papyrus - He ate a banana, threw the skin, missed the bin, took a step forward to catch it midair, slipped on the banana, and fell on his back. He decides it's enough for one day, and goes to curl up on the couch to cry.
Underfell Sans - He takes a deep breath, summons a blaster, and dusts that stinky banana out of existence. It's maybe a bit too extreme, but it feels good so he doesn't regret anything. He's a lot calmer now that he was allowed to express his anger.
Underfell Papyrus - He gives a death glare to everyone who saw him fall so pathetically and makes sure each of them knows he will remember their faces until the end of the world and that if they dare to cross his road again, something bad will happen to them. Yes, he's dramatic. But thankfully, he also has a scary face and somehow everyone believes his little bluff. Sometimes, he loves being scary.
Horrortale Sans - Uh. He's a bit confused about what happened. He was walking in the street just fine and suddenly he finds himself on his back, Willow looking him down from (very) high and smirking at his misery. He just blinks in shock, then does his best to stand up and do like nothing happened. He didn't even see the banana. Maybe because it's stuck under his shoes. Give him some time, he will eventually realize from where this horrible "plush plush" noise is coming.
Swapfell Sans - Trying to save himself, he made things worse. The banana is now crushed under his entire leg, on his beautiful handmade suit. Nox is in denial. Surely that didn't just happen. He will close his eyes for a few seconds, and when he'll open them, it will all just be a nightmare. That's when Rus comes, smirks, and asks if he shit his pants or something. It's enough for Nox to explode and throw himself at his throat to strangle him.
Swapfell Papyrus - Cool, he found a banana! He starts to lick the ground to eat it. Everyone is disgusted, his brother pretends he doesn't have a brother anymore, but Rus is happy to be in the middle of everyone's attention and will eat the whole thing to please the crowd. Everyone hated this.
Fellswap Gold Sans - He sighs. Of course, it had to happen right in front of the King and the Queen. He felt his credibility skill dusted at the same time of his enormous ego. That's fine, laugh all you want. He will come back. Stronger. With a thousand bananas. We will see who will laugh after that. He stomps away, sobbing the royal couple like the sassy queen he is, and leaves, the butt covered in smashed banana.
Fellswap Gold Papyrus - He stays on the floor, just sad. Why does this always happen to him? He's just a baby, he did nothing wrong ever in his life :( Ok, maybe he smashed he threw a few bananas at that Karen who looked at him badly in the store. And ok, maybe he forgot he threw bananas and slipped on one of his own bananas in front of everyone. But still, he's a victim in all of this. That's unfair :( He's going to call his brother to complain.

Good Omens, staying skeptical, and the mystery and the lie at the heart of Gravity Falls
-Neil Gaiman, 29 June 2023
I recently came across this post by @apathetic-revenant, which goes into extensive detail about a whole secret meta lie generated by Alex Hirsch, creator and head writer of Gravity Falls, midway through the show.
It went like this: the show was very focused on mysteries, codes, ciphers, etc, and early on a character discovered a mysterious journal with an unknown author, and this drove the plot. There were clues placed in the show so that people could solve the journal author's identity, or more probably so that it would all make sense in hindsight after the big reveal. However, the show ended up with a larger-than-expected fandom who started organizing online in a way the creators hadn't expected or planned for, and they were worried everyone would collectively solve the mystery too easily, too soon, and the suspense and appeal of the story gradually unfolding would be lost.
So they took a fake BTS photo that appeared to reveal the journal's author and "leaked" it online. To give it credibility, the show's creator posted "Fuming right now" and then deleted the post soon after, once they were certain it had been seen and screenshots taken. The Gravity Falls fandom then stopped trying to solve the mystery, as they believed the answer had already been revealed. It was a solution "targeted toward delaying that group problem-solving, without actually affecting the experience of any individual person watching the show."
Ok, Good Omens fandom. Are we Gravity Falls all over again? Are we also experiencing meta lies?
Is it possible that Amazon's marketing department has just released a new promotional video about Aziraphale & Crowley's "timeline of interconnectedness" (discussions here and here ) where they honestly:
got several of those timeline dates wrong, including labeling the entirety of seasons 1 and 2 as belonging to the same year?
mixed all the season 1 and 2 clips together so they're completely interconnected and out of the order they were presented to us so far?
didn't consult with Neil Gaiman for even a moment to be sure they had their facts straight? (Or literally anyone else who's spent years working on it? Or even someone who has just watched it once while paying attention?)
didn't understand the way most series tell a story by moving through time in a realistic linear fashion?
When Neil said today that "time is fine" in response to questions about the timeline of interconnectedness video, was he trying to misdirect the fandom away from the mystery that's clearly hidden throughout both seasons (and especially season 2)?
The Good Place seems suddenly more relevant than I'd imagined:
Neil has told us that his Tumblr posts aren't canon. He's also said:
"Never trust the storyteller. Only trust the story."
"Writers are liars, my dear, surely you know that by now? And yet, things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." -Both quotes are from The Sandman [link]
So here's my plea to whichever part of the fandom might read this: Stay Skeptical. It's wonderful to talk to Neil about his characters, the worlds he's created, his writing process, his views on world events, his sense of humor, his kindness, his compassion and empathy, and his good advice & encouragement for the entire range of the human experience. I respect him very much, and I'm thrilled he's here on social media talking to all of us. (Except he doesn't have social media, obviously. He's like Schrödinger's Social Media Neil-cat.)
I'm looking forward to all the surprises I'm certain are in store for us (and Aziraphale and Crowley) in Good Omens season 3. I trust Neil (and Terry!) to deliver our beloved characters to a very satisfying ending. But I don't trust Neil to honestly answer all of our questions on social media - and neither should you.
Especially not when he's already blamed obvious season 2 changes to the Bentley on the "lighting" (as just one example).
With lots of thanks to the members of the @ineffable-detective-agency - including @bbbitchvibbbez, @kimberleyjean, @maufungi, @noneorother, @theastrophysicistnextdoor, and @thebluestgreen for all their excellent fact-checking, ideas, and discussions!
Interested in diving further into all the Good Omens mysteries? I have more posts plus Clues and metas from all over the fandom, here.

So, I may not have won the poll, but I’ve decided to continue on the hand lore anyway! I’m going to tag some people but I want to warn you all this contains heavy angst. Make sure to check the tags for trigger warnings!
Start
@daboyau
@phoebepheebsphibs
@littlemissartemisia
@foxolotlfreak
He had been patting himself down basically every second to make sure those things hadn’t left his fanny pack and then suddenly they just weren’t there anymore.
The heavy feeling in his chest started at that point.
He barely started forgiving himself for causing the first apocalypse, his brothers telling him he had no way of knowing what would happen.
Others were to blame, like Warren or Hypno for taking the key in the first place. The Foot Clan, for asking for them to take it.
Sure Leo’s showboating and carelessness were bad but it wasn’t out of malice. He didn’t want to destroy the world. He didn’t know.
But this time he did know.
He saw the worst things imaginable and knew how it effected the people he loves. All he had to do was to stop those stupid mushrooms from hurting anyone else.
Leo saw the look in Raph’s eyes when he admitted what happened. Raph insists that it was just a mistake, that con artist was grabbing at his fanny pack. They probably fell out afterwards or he took it and dumped it when it couldn’t be sold.
What Leo saw in his eyes made him feel differently.
It was similar to how he always looked at him during their missions after Leo became leader.
Judgment.
He can’t be completely sure that Leo wasn’t just being careless. That one distraction caused chaos and havoc throughout an entire multi universe competition.
Leo feels like Raph feels the worst about the little girl he was protecting at first. He was so sure he stopped them from getting her. How they got past him to the nurse’s office, he doesn’t know.
That hand is a big part of it at least though, that’s clear.
Leo feels more tears starting to come.
He’s lost all credibility now, hasn’t he?
Not just to his brothers, but probably everyone there. There’s nobody else to blame for what’s happening. There’s no way anyone else has screwed things up like he has.
His fingers twitch, rubbing his arms painfully.
He needs to calm down before he starts becoming too rough with himself.
Leo reaches into his fanny pack in order to grab one of the many fidget toys. His mouth forms a deep frown at not feeling a favorite of his in there.
So he lost it too?
Pathetic.
Movement in the side of his vision has him glance towards it.
The hand.
That freaking hand!
It has his fidget toy!
Did…..did it take the container too!?
Maybe he didn’t lose it!
It was stolen!
Hope starts replacing that burden in his heart and he stands up.
The hand starts skittering away, so he quickly starts following after it. He’s too distracted to realize that his brothers are also distracted. They don’t notice him as he leaves.
The hand gets into a room and Leo backs it into a corner.
“Finally! You’re not getting away this time. Maybe if I get rid of you the spores will go away again too!” Leo summons and raises his weapon, smiling out of pure relief.
His expression drops when the hand spreads its fingers, revealing some type of canisters between them.
They fall, quickly releasing “gas” that is all too familiar.
He tries to hold his breath and rushes towards the door he came in through. Leo is only quick enough to see the hand escape and the door close behind it.
Leo bangs on the door as hard as he can. Even if no one hears him, maybe his hands will break through instead.
Luck fails him.
He runs out of time.
The room is filled to the brim with spore smoke as, eventually, even his turtle DNA fails him. He finally has to breath.
Contaminated air fills his lungs with a large gasp.
He shuts his eyes tight and covers the sides of his head where ears might be if he had any.
As long as he doesn’t see or hear anything he should be safe until he gets found, right?
Wrong.
Horrific images flash around in his mind until he’s forced to open his eyes to stop them.
What he sees is absolute devastation.
It’s a war zone all around him. Everything is in pieces. Buildings, roads…..people. Shots are ringing back and forth, some of it looking like it’s from alien tech.
He knows exactly what the spores are showing him and it feels his body with a dread that should have been prevented.
Leo can’t move an inch.
It’s obvious to him that the spores are just showing him what he thinks the bad future looked like. The only information he has about it is what he got out of Casey JR. Admittedly, it’s not that much because his brothers made him promise to stop telling Leo about it.
It was impeding his recovery, Donnie said.
He wishes he knew more so that he could tell the loud, nagging voice in his brain that maybe this isn’t just what he made up to fill in what he didn’t know. That this has the possibility of being connected ninpo memories. That this is exactly what happened and is even more awful than he ever could have imagined.
Kraang appear in front of him.
Fear shoots through his veins. They’re not real. He knows this isn’t happening. It can’t be happening.
“What’s this? The leader of the resistance without his guard dogs? They must have finally abandoned their weakest link after you led that last squadron to their deaths. Culling them was highly enjoyable.” The kraang taunts.
Leo grits his teeth.
“Why can’t you just leave me alone!? Why is it always me!?”
The kraang laughs like he’s just been told the funniest thing in this war torn world.
“Because you deserve it. Every second of all of it! And even more than this!”
He can’t think of anything to retort. He’s so tired of everything.
“No last words? Good. We’ve all long since grown tired of your voice.” The kraang aims his hand at Leo, a light beginning to power up inside.
Fine, it’s all fake anyways. This might as well happen. Nothing he can do about it even if he wanted to. Nobody is coming to help him either.
The kraang keeps laughing the more his laser powers up.
No wonder Lou Jitsu always escapes in his more spy themed movies. Death rays take way too long to work.
He tears up.
Leo wishes his dad was here.
The laser finally powers up. The kraang smiles widely. Something red goes up in front of him.
Wait, what?
NO!
The laser fires.
Leo is suddenly grabbed and tossed away into safety.
He tries to quickly stand up, but something stops him.
Raph’s future clone is on keeping him to the ground, hidden behind a broken building where he can still partially see the kraang from before.
The original Raph had bought time for the clone to get Leo to safety.
Both of them were being erased, disintegrated.
Tears stream down Leo’s face as he stares up at the clone who stares back with a smile.
Leo knows fully well that anything he says right now won’t actually be said to anyone.
He says something anyways.
“I love you Raph. Thank you. For everything. I never told you.”
The clone smiles more.
“Big bros always know. Love ya too, Leo. Tell everyone else for me.”
Leo watches as the last parts of his brother’s clone floats away as ninpo into the air.
He’s suddenly somewhere else, but still in this future hell scape.
Donnie’s arm is around his own and Leo sees blooding pouring from a head wound. Usually it makes them look worse than they are and it’s not actually a concern but this definitely looks like it is.
“Leo…..put me down….”
Leo can’t stop crying.
“I told you I’m not leaving you here!”
That’s not his voice.
Well, it is and it isn’t.
Deeper, rougher, far more strained.
“Put me down!” Donnie shoves himself away from him.
Leo falls over trying to catch him but they both end up on the ground.
Oh, he’s supposed to be hurt too.
He sits up and tries to get Donnie up as well.
“I thought this apocalypse made you smarter. I guess you could never be as smart as me, even when they hit me like this….” Donnie says, staying put.
“Shut up! You’re coming with me! Mikey is just a little further!” Leo screams.
Donnie chuckles.
“You won’t even give me a pity laugh? I’m the funny one, papa used to say so.”
Leo desperately tries to stand.
Donnie yanks him back to the ground.
“Leo. Listen. I need a flavor. F-Favor, I mean. Favor….”
Oh.
Donnie’s not making it either.
“Anything, Donnie.”
“Stay here for a minute. It shouldn’t take longer than that.”
Leo chokes back his sobs as he begins clinging to him.
“Okay. I’ll do that.”
“This might be the brain damage, but I want you to keep talking. Don’t stop until….you know. Tell your dumb jokes, even.” Donnie clings to him as well.
Leo takes a shaky, deep breath, then starts talking about anything and everything.
The night sky is clear above them both.
It reminds him of when they shared a room and their ceiling had those glow in the dark starts.
They used to lay together like this and talk all night because of their shared insomnia.
Leo talks and talks and talks, getting some quiet responses from Donnie until eventually he doesn’t.
He doesn’t stop talking or holding until he’s being physically separated by Mikey and some other resistance members.
Leo doesn’t stop talking still. He wants Donnie to respond even thought he knows he never will again.
Mikey hugs Leo tightly and he finally starts crying so hard he can’t talk anymore.
It’s all over as Leo is placed somewhere else again. He knows this part very well. Mikey is shattering into golden pieces in front of him with a big smile.
Leo doesn’t care anymore that he shouldn’t be able to do anything.
He rushes forward and holds onto Mikey’s arm to try to help like his brothers told him they did before.
A chain wraps around Leo, moving him back to Casey just before Mikey fully disintegrates.
He was stupid to try in the first place.
A dumb decision.
Again.
Again.
And again and again and again and again and-
It never stops.
His brothers won’t let him die.
It’s not fair.
He doesn’t want to be the last one left.
It hurts.
He’s tossing Casey into the portal and Leo is gone right after, right in front of him.
Leo is drifting now.
A black, empty void.
He’s even more tired than he was before.
There’s no one else with him. He can’t even be reunited with everyone he lost, or could have lost.
It’s so confusing.
The prison dimension was pretty similar to this place. It’s even more even empty than that somehow though. Probably because kraang prime isn’t here with him.
Leo is completely detached from reality.
His eyes have dimmed as he sits on the floor, against the wall. He’s running out of time for anyone to be able to do anything.
He can’t hear the shouting coming from somewhere outside, not close by but shouting nonetheless.
Mikey noticed first that he was missing and now the others are in a complete panic. They lost him once and now they’re losing him again.
They don’t know how right that is.
As the situation only gets worse, a hand watches, perched up high on the ceiling like some kind of spider who’s carefully watching the webs its made.

Wow, this was amazing. I could never read anything (not even a tweet) this little asshole puts on paper and I really appreciate you taking the bullet on this.
As I read, I wanted to put in post-it notes for things I wanted to comment on. I don't remember them now, but it all comes down to the same thing:
Omid Scobie is full of shit. No one contacted him about the Queen dying. If they did, he'd have gotten it out there that he knew it was coming before it came so he could be important.
Omid Scobie doesn't have contacts left in England. He just makes shit up at will.
Omid Scobie is seething about his loss of importance. When MM came along, his ticket to stardom was in hand. It now lost. All is lost, I say! And he will never stop trying to make everyone pay for his loss of perceived status and access to gossip.
Omid Scobie, who once looked like Omid Scobie, is one to talk about racism. When you spend thousands and thousands of dollar, pain, and time to look as white as can be, you lose your credibility. Well, whatever credibility you might have once had.
Omid Scobie, shut the fuck up about Diana and William. BRFRumor, you nailed it. William actually knew his mother. I am OG Diana. Adored her then, adore her now, will always adore her. That doesn't mean I think she was perfect or an angel. I think she was a woman trying to maneuver her way in the world, a world owned and operated by men, like so many women before her. She was sensitive and she was real. She genuinely cared for people and causes. She genuinely loved her husband and was in way over her head in the situation she married into. She was indeed complex and complicated, and she made some really stupid, nasty mistakes when she was divorcing, as many do. William knows and accepts all of that about her - and still adores her. Harry doesn't even know who his mother was. He adores his idealization of her and he and OS make that out to be Harry and only Harry knowing and loving his mother. Harry would never dream of actually trying to figure out who is mother was. It's all coattails shit with all three of them: H, MM, OS. They want to bask in Diana's reflected glory. Psh. Instead, all they've done is turn all kinds of people against Diana since they insist they are like her. Not one of them is anything like her.
Okay, I've gotten myself so worked up on this last one I can't remember the rest. :) Your ending was brilliant. If only I could remember what it was. :)
Thank you for taking the time to do this! It's a brilliant piece of work!
Yeah, Scobie's chapter on Diana is an interesting one. It's all over the place so you just want to tell him 'Get to the point, man!'
But I think his point is this: Diana has been the face of the royal brand for so long, whether it's the idealized Diana of her 20s, the global force for change and good in her 30s, her fashion and style, and/or her tragic death) that the Palace no longer wants her there. So they're trying to discredit her to where she no longer "is" the royal brand. It won't work, is Scobie's conclusion because like "her statue's reflection in the palace pond...depending on the light, her true story briefly vanishes but always reappears."
He seems to suggest that it's Harry and Meghan's struggles with the BRF that keeps Diana's true story alive (because they've gone through similar things) in spite of William, Charles, and Camilla.
And for Scobie to believe William thinks there is no place for Diana in his monarchy, it does point to Scobie not having any sources left. Or, as anon points out, making shit up for the drama. Because William's made it clear there's a place for his mother's memory in his future. He just doesn't browbeat us to death with it the way Harry does.

Oh great I made myself obsessed with my own characters I created, now I have to make content for them by myself
So I already talked about them in my previous post, but I’m gonna make this its own separate post
So omegaverse world where omegas are underestimated, and there’s a “black widow” omega (someone who’s repeatedly getting married just to murder their spouses)
And to everyone else, their spouses just keep dying because of accidents, except for this one detective, who is sure something is off, but right off the bat they have two roadblocks in their way: 1) no one would ever believe an omega of murdering their spouse, especially an alpha, and 2) their last case was a disaster, so everyone’s faith in them has dropped
And then depending on what the detective is, that can also affect their credibility, like let’s say that the detective can tell something is off because things don’t quite smell right, buuuuut they’re a beta, who’s going to listen to a beta on how things smell when the alphas didn’t say anything??
Or they can tell the omega isn’t acting how an omega would normally act because they’re an omega themself, but because the detective is an omega, people are brushing it off as “oh you can’t know for sure, you haven’t lost multiple spouses, everyone copes differently”
Eventually, the omega pretty much admits it straight to the detective’s face, but is also like “no one’s gonna believe you, all you have is scent, and scent can’t be documented” and so even despite admitting it to their face, the detective just can’t do anything, the omega gets away, and their reputation takes another hit
…But that’s not the last time they see the omega, maybe it’s just to gloat, or because they like having someone who knows the real them and not the façade they put up to make everyone think they’re so helpless and sweet, but the omega will not stop coming by their office to bother them 
(Also I’m partially picturing the omega as Debbie from the Addams Family Values)

I don’t know why I am surprised. I feel like I have been getting glimpses of the true Meghan (whom I loved) since Oprah. But for her to confirm this in such a vague way that she can wiggle out of it later if it serves her purpose it so fucking disgusting. Like I am genuinely disgusted. And where the hell is Harry? If this is all true why isn’t he the one confirming as it supposedly happened in front of him (I think. The story keeps changing)? To do this to Kate and Will (and Charles)…he must truly be so filled with bitterness and hate…I just…can hardly fathom it. It’s just so horrible.
I said all of this just about word for word to Vanessa and Arantxa last night. You and I are so on the same page - for some reason, I am also surprised, but you’re right, neither of us should be at this point. I loved her - I loved her so so so so much - I bought a dress from her SmartWorks collection, I have the cookbook, and I have the denim J Crew dress she wore to Wimbledon because I adored her and I idolized her. I flew to England alone to join their wedding festivities! I held onto that feeling for SO LONG (way longer than I should have, way longer than any of the other rational Harry girls out there) and now she has broken my heart in a way I never could’ve fathomed. There were some hmmm moments in the earlier years but they were so minor that it wasn’t enough to change the fact that I loved her anyway - everyone can vouch for it. I LOVED her. The slightest of shifts started with Oprah but I was firmly in their camp for months afterwards until it started getting really bad. Even then, I didn’t really see it in full until it kept going and going and going, culminating in Endgame. It’s over, my friend. It’s so, so over.
God, we were so blind. I know I was. Rose colored glasses. I loved her! I loved loved loved her! There was so much potential! They could’ve taken over the world! I always say “how much worse can it get?” and somehow it always does! You’re 100% right - they can’t keep it straight! How can you believe it even happened when one day this “person” said it to Harry himself, and the next day it was to Meghan, and then the next day he heard it through the royal household grapevine, and then the next day it’s blatant racism, and then the next day it’s a subtle unconscious bias that is perfectly forgivable with some education, and the next day it’s “I never said that, the media just manipulated my words and ran with it,” and then the next day and the next day and the next… It’s hard to believe any of this nonsense even happened because there have been 15 different stories! It’s even harder to believe that they’re blaming Charles and Kate! Everything they’ve said since they’ve started talking completely contradicts what Omid wrote! And this applies to literally everything! Not just this, but with so many other things! Nothing ever lines up - nothing ever makes sense - it’s all so fake! WHO in their right mind could possibly believe any of it when the story changes every day?
Falling out of love with her has broken my heart - but now, it’s inevitable. How can I continue to defend this? How can I continue to grasp at straws trying to understand their POV when it changes every 20 minutes? I still believe that they suffered so, so much but the details are so hard to believe. The worst part? They could both literally pass a lie detector test because they’re so convinced that they’re right - they cannot see how much they contradict themselves or how, every time they speak, they lose a bit more credibility! They’re so clearly doing this for attention because nobody in their right mind believes them anymore! How could you? There’s no credibility left! The well has run dry! They’re convinced that they are “speaking their truth” but they’re lying at every turn - maybe one version of the story is the truth, but who the hell knows? Only a maximum of one story can be true but there are 15 stories for everything! God, I have lost every ounce of idolatry I once had for her and realizing it after all this time hits like a freight train.
The way Meghan went about this is literally nauseating - it’s all to grab the headlines (and, hence, the almighty dollar) while still being able to rescind and avoid a lawsuit. Omid too, he’s not innocent. They both know EXACTLY what they’re doing.
And you and I are thinking about what nobody else seems to be - where the HELL is Harry? What the fuck is he thinking? Which one of them is really doing the talking? Yesterday’s leak from the Sussex camp about “not intending to name names” quoted Meghan only - not a word about Harry. It’s his family! His father, brother, sister-in-law! Why isn’t he owning this as much as Meghan and Omid are? Not for nothing, Omid doesn’t even sound like he believes what he wrote - it sounds like he just regurgitated whatever bullshit he heard from the Sussex camp. WHY ISN’T HARRY TALKING? Why isn’t he defending his wife? Is he hiding in a basement somewhere (or, god forbid, a hotel) waiting for the storm to pass - until it comes time to ruffle the waters yet again? What is their goal? What is their LITERAL endgame? Will it continue forever? When will it stop? How far does it have to go before someone, anyone - the Waleses, the King and Queen, the media, Harry himself - forces it to stop? What the literal fuck is going on?
#meghan markle#prince harry#duchess of sussex#duke of sussex#omid scobie#british royal family#ask#god I am so heartbroken#and I am going to get so much shit for this

Humanity
“What did you do?”
“Hi, Scott. Good to see you too.” John replied mildly, eyes never leaving the screen in front of him.
“Nope! You’re not getting out of this.” Scott narrowed his eyes at his brother, staring him down with the full force of the Tracy glare. “What did you do?”
“You’re going to have to be more specific. I’ve done a lot of things today. I brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, worked on-“
“You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
“He deserved it, Scott. His foolish incompetence put you and Alan in danger, and injured Virgil. If he can’t be wise with his money, he doesn’t deserve to have it.”
“No, John. We can’t do that. We don’t decide who deserves it or not. That’s a betrayal of everything that International Rescue stands for. We’re the ones who save people, not arbitrate justice.”
“Betrayal? I’m the one betraying the family? No, Scott. It’s not me. The only one betraying the family is the one who continues to send his brothers into danger because he refuses to make a hard choice. I’m making things safer for our brothers, for the world. He doesn’t deserve that money. I left him enough to live off of, assuming he doesn’t waste it, but most of it went to people who needed it. People who won’t actively make our lives harder with their own stupidity.”
“Put it back, John. We can’t do that. We cannot stand as judge, jury and executioner.”
“I will not. I refuse to continue to stand by and allow him to endanger our family. I thought you would understand, Scott, but I should have known you wouldn’t. You never did like to make the hard choices. At least this family has someone willing to.”
John cut the call abruptly, leaving Scott to stew. As soon as the hologram flickered out, he turned to look at the figure floating in the corner.
“Was that sufficient?”
“We’ll see. If that wasn’t enough to get your big brother to come up here, I’m not sure what will. You’d better hope he’s mad enough to come up here and yell at you, or we’ll test just how long you can last floating out in space without oxygen.”
******************************************
Scott was furious, storming through the house down to the hangers. John had completely lost it. Sure, they had all thought about it a time or two, but thinking was as far as it got. It was as far as they could let it get.
They were not the law. They were not the deciders of right and wrong. They couldn’t be. It would destroy any credibility IR had. They saved everyone they could. They didn’t pick and choose who was worthy of their help. That betrayed the very idea of International Rescue.
A quick change into his uniform, and he was firing up the engines on Three. The elevator would have been faster, but he knew John wasn’t going to send that down for him right now. The rocket launched, pushing him back into his seat as it accelerated though the atmosphere and into space.
Thunderbird Five floated serenely, the calm showing no sign of the storm approaching. The commander was coming, and he was not happy.
He docked Three onto Five’s access port, waiting impatiently for the seal to pressurize before storming onto the space station.
“Hello, Scott.” His brother greeted him, seeming unsurprised to see him. “How can I help you?”
“You know exactly what-” Scott shot back angrily, before cutting off abruptly upon realizing that they weren’t alone.
“Hello, Mr. Tracy.” The Hood greeted him, the gun in his hand shifting to Scott. “So nice of you to join us. Your brother knew just how to get you to come.”
The betrayal in Scott’s eyes cut John deeply, but he stood firm. He had his reasons, even if his brother couldn’t understand. “It wasn’t hard.” He said, his voice as smug as he could make it. “You’re quite predictable, Scott. Always going on about responsibility and honor and watch-“ John stumbled over his words for a moment before resuming. “And all that. It doesn’t take much work to outthink you.”
Scott swallowed heavily. John’s words hurt, as he knew they were intended to. His brother was too smart to say something he hadn’t thought through. John was the best communicator in the family, which meant that he could cut someone to ribbons with only his words without even breaking a sweat.
Wait a second! John never misspoke. He thought about every word that came out of his mouth, which means…
Scott turned back to his brother, watching more closely. “Maybe I am predictable. Maybe I am just as stupid as you seem to think I am.” He forced the cutting words out of his mouth, trying to distract the Hood from the brisk tapping of John’s finger against his leg. Morse code! “Even if I am stupid, at least I’m not taking the law into my own hands.”
H-O-L-D. H-E-L-M-E-T. O-N.
“At least I haven’t decided that I can chose what’s right and wrong.”
Scott leaned back against the wall behind him, subtly looping his arm through the handle behind his back, and gripping his helmet tightly, ready to move. He could see John doing the same.
“At least I haven’t spent so long in space that I’ve forgotten my humanity.” He was shouting now, keeping the focus on him as much as possible. “At least I still act like a Tracy.”
His voice drowned out John’s whispered commands, and they both jammed their helmets on simultaneously. Then the only thing he could hear was the rushing of wind as the wall suddenly retracted, sending the Hood hurtling off into space.
The force tried to pull him out too, and he could see John fighting to hold on as well. He gripped tightly, watching as the Hood drifted off, before his ship suddenly appeared in front of him and he pulled himself into the airlock. The ship quickly disappeared out of sight.
The wall of the space station slid back into place, and the room quickly filled with oxygen again. At EOS signal, both brothers removed their helmets, looking guiltily toward each other.
“I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t mean any of it.”
They reached towards each other, clasping each other in a rare hug. “We need to talk.”
“Yeah.” Scott agreed. “But not here. Let’s go home.”
John followed him back onto Three, settling himself into the copilot’s seat as they pulled away from the space station. The ride home was silent, both of them retreating deep into the safety of their own minds, neither ready to talk yet.
******************************************
A short time later, both of them were sitting on the deck outside Scott’s bedroom, glasses in hand. They sat in silence for a while, trying to process the day.
John broke the silence first. “I’m sorry.” He said quietly. “I didn’t know what to do, so I made a call, and it was the wrong one. I should have figured it out on my own. I should never have upset you like that.”
“You did nothing wrong.” Scott shot back promptly. “You were put in an impossible situation, and you managed to get everyone involved out safely. I won’t lie and say what you said didn’t hurt, but I understand why you did it. I did the same thing to you. And some of what I said I don’t have any excuse for. I was angry at you, and I said horrible things I didn’t mean.”
“I know. I understand why you said it. I understand why you were mad. I was trying to make you mad, so I can’t really blame you.” John took a long drink, draining his glass in an attempt to regain his composure. “I think I’m going to turn in. It’s been a long day.” He set his glass down, unfolding his long legs as he pushed himself to his feet. “Goodnight, Scott.”
Scott set his glass down next to his brother’s, following him into the room. “Stay?” He asked softly. “It’s been a long day for both is us, and I think we could both use the company.”
John thought for a moment, before dropping down heavily on the bed. “Okay.”
He conceded. He threw back the comforter and climbed in, saving room for his big brother to climb in after him. They settled in the dark, neither truly ready for sleep despite what they had claimed.
“Was there any truth in it?” John asked, so quietly that Scott almost didn’t hear him.
“In what?”
“In what you said about me. That I’ve spent so much time in space that I’ve lost my humanity. That I’m not really a Tracy anymore.”
Scott sat up, dragging his brother up to look at him. “There was not a word of truth in any of it. I said what the Hood wanted to hear, but I didn’t mean a word of it. You are the best of us, John. You hear the worst the world has to offer every day, and you still remain strong. You know just how to help, how to keep people calm and focused. You have not lost your humanity, John. You help the rest of us keep ours.”
There were tears dripping from John’s eyes by the time Scott was finished speaking. Scott wrapped his brother in a hug, holding him close until John calmed somewhat. “I’m sorry for everything I said. Humanity doesn’t deserve you. I’m so proud of all that you’ve done, John. Nothing you could ever do would change that.”
They settled back down into the bed, Scott keeping his arms wrapped around his brother. They weren’t okay, not really. They had both said such hurtful things that they would remember in the dead of night. When the adrenaline wore off, they would feel the effects of their near-death experience. But for now, the assurance that they were together, alive, was good enough.
******************************************
Scott shot awake in the middle of the night, startling his brother from his sleep next to him. “We have to give Fishler his money back!” He cried.
John settled back down, closing his eyes again. “I never took it.” He said smugly. “I set it up so it would look like I did, but I didn’t touch it.” He assured his brother, already back asleep.

Why aren't you speaking up about the vile fans that are harassing Pedro, his friends and family. I am devastated that no one has put these fake fans in their place. I thought you of all people would.
I must preface this by mentioning that I'm Irish. We're biased on this issue. We have had help to find relative peace after years of division and terrorism. We are all too aware of how lucky we now are.
Why arent I speaking about the "vile fans" that are harrassing Pedro?
I report the twats in this fandom who he can't see pulling bullshit that affects his and his friends' personal lives so they can better protect themselves from it. I only call them out publicly when their bullshit over flows into my life.
Fans asking Pedro to call for a ceasefire are not pulling bullshit.
They're commenting on his replies to posts because they are frustrated by his silence on an issue that WILL affect all of our lives, and their passion is showing in disruptive ways that aren't to everyones taste. Replying to his comments is futile, but please don't shame people for trying to act in a time of desperation. Do I like it? No. Will it change his opinion? Probably not.
Their timelines are full of images of dead children, injured children being pulled from rubble to be labelled WCNSF (Wounded child. No surviving family), kidnapped people or murdered families. They're willing him to call out the same issues that the United Nations and many other governments are because people have lost their humanity.
We all know he used to love sounding off about political issues in support of the underdog but Pedro has been quiet since the Gina episode. Whether he would be in the right or not on political issues, Disney and Lucasfilm will not take kindly to him creating any controversy.
However much I would love to see him asking for a ceasefire, it isn't going to happen for a multitude of reasons. He's not going to be the person we tell him to be. He has free will. We must respect that. We need to manage our expectations with regards to what we see as the role of celebrities in political issues. It isn't in their job description and they usually fuck it up and the noise caused from that drowns out the credible sources trying to break through.
And yes, I've noticed how fake some of the fans are. The phrase "you're doing great girl" comes to mind. (Bless that man's sassy interactions with fair weather fans) Some are posting about his sexuality in the same cycle of stories as calls for him to denounce war crimes. It's completely fucked up.
Oh, and holding his fucking stalkers up as if they're the beacons of hope around here?! Those delusional psychos only posted saying they wouldn't talk about the gala AFTER ppl threatened to call them out if they posted about it. Never fall for their clout chasing bullshit! Their only motivation is social engagement, not the future of humanity. You can tell coz when they aren't virtue signalling, they're dehumanising a man for likes.
Since you've read this far..... if Pedro can't/won't speak, we can. Share international news outlets! Share factual information from countries who aren't financially supporting the war! Seek it out. Share it. Some people still haven't seen the full story. Some are choosing to pretend there aren't humans involved on both sides. Some are keeping quiet for personal reasons. Some because their employer will fire them or sue them for speaking out.
If any fans have questions around the issue of asking for a ceasefire and denouncing the current war crimes before the whole world descends in to a sea of international incidents of domestic terrorism at the request of Hezbollah and Iran, supported by Russian government, giving China the opportunity to fucking go to town, please feel free to educate yourselves below.
