Chapter Ten - Our two hearts

☆☆☆

You stand beside Dream while he fixes up some more lf his realm. He had mended quite a lot of it over the last few days, and the residents were starting to return. You had been introduced to many of them by Lucienne.

Dream had chosen this as a good place to start teaching you about the power he has given you.

He was creating more dreams and nightmares, but it was a slow process. It took a lot of concentration from him to do this. He explained everything to you as he worked, but it was still a lot to take in all at once.

He could see at one point that you were growing weary and came to stand in front of you. "Hold out your hand."

You look at him and then hold out your hand. He takes your hand gently in his, cupping it in his palm. His skin is pale against yours. He looks at you with a small smile. You feel something soft in the palm of your hand and look to see something beginning to take shape. A stem. Long and green, full of life. A bud began to take form. Pale pink petals began to bloom. He lets go of your hand as you look at the flower in your hand.

"You made that."

"What?" You look at him.

"I helped, but you made it." He smiles softly. "I didn't even tell you what to make, you did that all yourself. In fact, you have given me an idea."

"Um... what kind of idea?" You ask, looking up at him.

"I want to give you a gift."

You stare at him, hoping he will elaborate, but he doesn't. He just gives you a little grin and then returns back to his work on the dreams and nightmares.

You look at the flower in your hand and bring it to your nose. It smells heavenly. You smile.

☆☆☆

You walk through the palace with Matthew as your guide. Lucienne had called Dream to speak with him privately about something. He told you he would join you again later, so Matthew brought you back to the palace.

You were still holding your flower, admiring it. They way it smelled, the way it looked, the way it felt. You had made this very special little flower.

"Uh, your room is this way." Matthew caws.

You look up and see that you had stopped paying attention and were now veering away from your location.

"Oh, sorry."

You turn around and follow Matthew down the correct hall. You return to your room. Matthew perches on the end of your bed and watches you put your flower in a vase next to your bed.

"You made that?"

"Yes." You smile. "Isn't it pretty?"

You take a seat on your bed and turn to Matthew. He looks up at you with those big black eyes of his.

"Is he a good man?" You ask.

"Who? Dream? To be honest, I haven't known him that long. You should ask Lucienne, though. She's known him a long time." He cocks his head from side to side every so often. "But I think so, yeah."

You smile softly.

"So, are you two married?" He asks.

"What? No! I've known literally days." You look shocked by his question. "Haven't you been following us around all that time?"

"Well, yeah, but... you two seem kind of close."

"Do we?"

"Well, I've seen the way he's been looking at you recently." Matthew tells you that so causally.

"Oh? How does he look at me?"

Matthew is about to tell you, but someone comes into your room unannounced. You look up to find what looks like a scarecrow with a pumpkin for a head. He turns and sees you and then stares at you.

"Oh, uh, I wasn't aware you were in here, lady."

"Merv!" Matthew caws.

"Oh, right, um. Mervyn, at your service."

"Hello," you greet him.

"He's kind of the handyman around here. Which brings the question, what are you doing in here?" Matthew looks up at Merv.

"Uh, well, you see, his highness is working on something, and asked me to come see what kind of things you like. I just didn't think you were in here. Thought I'd coke snoop through your stuff and get some ideas..."

You chuckle softly and look at him. "You came to snoop?"

"Yeah..."

"That's considered rude. Why not just ask me?"

"Uh... I don't know."

You laugh and stand up. "What do you want to know?"

The next fifteen minutes were spent in a game of 20 questions. Mervyn asked you about your favourite colours, favourite animals, favourite flowers, favourite music, favourite foods, what you liked to wear, what you liked to do.

You told him everything.

He was doing this because Dream had asked him to. You were certain if he wasn't so busy with whatever it is Lucienne needed him for, he would have come to ask you all this himself. It made you feel warm inside.

Once Merv had all the answers he needed, he left. You chuckled as he went.

"You'll get used to him." Matthew said to you.

"I'm sure."

"So, you are staying?"

"I am." You smiled. "The Dreaming is my home now."

☆☆☆

Dream sat on his throne with a thoughtful expression on his face. In his lap was a big red book with your name on it. It contained your life history. Lucienne had brought it to him and stated he should read it.

He saw your childhood on these pages. He saw everything Rodrick Burgess did to you. More the lack of what he did for you. His only daughter cast aside. It infuriated Dream how poorly you were treated by that family. Now you were safe within his realm.

Also in the book was the moment you both met. He looks down at the scar as he reads that part. His soulmate. There was hope in his heart that you would see him differently in the future.

He certainly saw you in a different light.

Dream hoped his gift would be the first step to winning you over. He had concluded business with Lucienne ages ago and then gone to start on your gift. However, he was curious to read what was in your book, so here he was.

As he nears the part where he took you away, he heard footsteps entering the grand throne room. He lifted his eyes from the page he was on and found you walking over to him.

His heart skipped a beat.

Dream closed the book and put it down carefully to the side. He stood and made his way down the steps to meet you halfway. He was pleased to see you.

"Hello," he greeted you softly.

"Hello." You smiled. "Have you been busy?"

"Quite."

There was a slight eagerness to him. You could see it in his eyes and his smile as he stood there in front of you. He almost, almost, childlike.

"What's up with you?" You ask softly.

"Why should anything be up with me?" He asks, smiling.

"Because you're smiling. You don't exactly do that." You pointed out.

"Oh?"

You roll your eyes. "Just tell me."

"Come with me." He starts to walk away. You follow him, trying to keep up with his lkng strides. Wherever he was taking you, he was determined to get there quickly.

He led you out of the palace round the back. You had gone past your room, and down a hall, you were certain hadn't been there before. He took you through a door that led outside into a courtyard. Around the courtyard were empty flowers beds. In the centre was a fountain. Opposite the door, you came out of was an arch covered in flowers that led to more flowerbeds.

You look around you. "What's this?"

"Your garden."

You snap your head towards him and state at him in confusion. "My garden?"

He looks at you in amusement. "Yes."

"What do you mean my garden?"

"Exactly that. I've made you a garden," he says proudly.

"When did you have time to do this?" You knew it took a while for him to build his residents in the Dreaming, so a whole garden would have taken hours, you're certain.

"I can create places quite easily. A garden was simple enough. Once Lucienne left my side, I began this for you."

"You have gifted me a garden?"

"Yes."

You take another look around and smile softly. No one has ever given you something so wonderful before.

"Where are the flowers?" You ask softly.

"Ah, well, that's your job," he states.

"My job?"

Dream guides you over to the closest flowerbed and looks down at the rich soil below. He gestures to it with one hand as he raises his eyes to look at you. "You grew one flower with a little bit of help, so I figured gifting you a garden to practise in would help you."

You look at him on awe. "You did this for me?"

"Of course."

"You didn't have to," you say softly.

"I wanted to."

You feel your heart skip. A warmth settles in your chest. He did this for you. He made this gift for you.

"Thank you."

He smiles at you. His blue eyes seem to brighten. He's certainly handsome. You smile.

"I'll practise. I promise. No more gifts, though. You've given me enough."

He chuckles deeply. "No promises."

You can't help but chuckle, too.

Dream leaves you in your garden to tend to other matters for a while. You're kind of glad because you had a lot to think about. You had him to think about.

Suddenly, everything felt like it was in a new light, and you needed to know what it meant.

Cheers to the Weekend

Pairing: Tom Grant x f!Reader

Genre: smut

Tags: Make Up (film), 18+ (minors DNI), established relationship, oral (f receiving), fingering (f receiving), pillow humping, cmnf (clothed male, naked female)

Summary: You and your boyfriend discuss what to do with your weekend off together.

Word count: 3k

"Babe, I'm here!" Your most favourite words. You jump up from where you'd been sprawled across the couch, running all of about five feet before being able to embrace your boyfriend. He buries his face into your shoulder, humming happily.

"You alright?" You ask as you let go, reaching over to gently intertwine your fingers with his instead.

"'M very tired," he admits with a sleepy smile. "How was your shift?"

"My cheeks hurt from all the customer-service-smiling I've been doing," you admit with a grimace. "Still, that family's the weekend staff's problem now."

"Yep, and now your only problem this weekend is having your annoyingly doting boyfriend constantly wanting to snuggle with you, watch TV with you, maybe go for a little walk on the beach with you…" Tom's head cocks from side to side as he lists off activities.

"That sounds like the opposite of a problem, actually," you grin at him, pulling him in for a kiss. He kisses you back, starting with little pecks that gradually linger more, getting more and more intense with each one, pulling you into the bedroom.

He pulls back with one final chaste kiss. "So, what was that family's deal?" He asks, sitting on the edge of the mattress to start unlacing his boots.

Getting yourself comfortable on the bed, you sigh loudly, "Mum was trying to find every excuse to get free stuff while her kid emptied all the soil out of Fergus' pot onto the floor. "

Tom lets out a sharp gasp as he tugs one shoe off, "Not Fergus the ficus! That's murder!" You laugh, and he smiles over at you adoringly. "See, this is why I couldn't do your job, I'd have told them all to piss off and made that kid scoop it all back in," he shakes his head as he kicks off the other shoe. He flops onto the bed on his stomach, groaning into the pillow. The way his face squishes into it makes you laugh again. "Ugh, was your bed always this comfortable, or is it just the day I've had?"

"It's definitely just you," you point out amusedly, laying on your side and propping yourself up by your elbow. "I could never do your job, either. Big, strong handyman, slaving away at that workshop, carrying all those big, heavy things…"

Tom laughs as he pushes himself up. "Y'give me far too much credit, angel."

You soon fall into your natural position in bed; Tom's arm wrapped around you, his fingers rubbing up and down the top of your arm, your head against his chest, his heart thumping against your cheekbone. It isn't long, though, before he squeezes your shoulder in a way you know means that he wants you to lean up so he can kiss you some more. Tom hums, "Really missed you today."

"Missed you, too, Tommy," you purr between kisses.

"Couldn't stop thinking about you," Tom admits, and you grin.

"Oh, yeah? What about me?"

"Just, y’know. Thinking about all the stuff we can do this weekend, all those things I were just saying about," he muses.

You grin coyly, "And nothing else?"

He rolls his eyes and tuts jokingly. "Yes, yes, and that stuff, too, horndog."

"What?" You giggle. "You're the one thinking about that stuff at work."

"Oh, and you're not?" Tom asks you in disbelief.

"...I didn't say that," you tease, moving over to straddle him.

"Oh, hello," he grins at the change of position, his hands running up and down the sides of your body, wrapping his arms around your back once you lean down to kiss him intensely, hips grinding down against his. He hums against your lips, "Mmm, somebody's eager, aren't they?"

"No shit, look at you," you grin back before kissing him again, your tongues engaging in a twisting dance of passion, accompanied by the harmony of you both moaning together.

"Fuck, yes, sweets, y'feel so good like that," Tom groans. "Keep making those sounds, yeah? Please, s'fucking hot." You move just slightly to moan deliberately into his ear, and his grip on you tightens. "Mmm, is this what you've been thinking about all day, love? Counting down the minutes until you could ravish me?"

With a sheepish giggle, you lie, "No…"

"Certainly seems like it," he raises his eyebrows at you as you sit upright, rocking yourself in circles against the erection you feel pressing through his tracksuit bottoms. He bites his lip tightly as he watches you, his hands slipping underneath your pyjama top to squeeze your hips, digging his grip in. He groans, "Want this off, want to see my fingers press into you."

"Is that all you want to see from me being topless?" You mimic his tone from earlier, and Tom laughs as he helps you pull the garment off of your body. He constantly slides his hands up and down your body, stopping each way to grip your breasts and your hips. Every squeeze earns him an evermore desperate buck of your hips.

Tom smiles dreamily up at you. "'M never gonna get tired of this view, pretty girl. My pretty girl."

You hope your, "'M not," is muttered quietly enough for Tom not to hear it, but no such luck.

"Uh, excuse you, you're fucking gorgeous, babe. 'M a lucky, lucky boy," he smirks, pulling your face down to kiss you again. He gasps out a moan against your lips, "And the way you're humping me like that, fuck, so good. Make me feel so good, looking like that, 've hit the jackpot, me. Fuck, is that good for you, too, yeah?"

You play with the collar of his shirt. "Please, Tommy… Wanna really make you feel good."

He groans again, this time out of exhaustion. "Listen, babe, literally any other time, you know I'd have my clothes off at that in an instant, but… 'M just so tired tonight, angel. I'm sorry."

"I could just ride you?" You offer, and he chuckles, rubbing his face wearily.

"You know I don't like just sitting there and letting you do all the work," he frowns up at you.

You mirror him, "And yet you'll spend the best part of an hour going down on me without expecting anything back?"

He pulls a face of intrigue. "What a wonderful idea." Before you can react, he wraps an arm and a leg around you, swinging his whole body around to roll you onto your back, as he hovers over you.

You giggle, "What happened to being tired, eh?"

"That was my last bit of energy," he grins back. "Well, almost. Think I've got just about enough to get these off you." He hooks his fingers over the elastic of your shorts, pulling them down your legs before settling himself between them. "There she is," he coos under his breath, his fingertips tracing the outside of your folds. "I've especially missed you."

You groan, "Tommy… 'S not faaaair."

"What isn't, angel?" he asks, sliding his middle finger inside of you with ease. You gasp out a long moan, your eyes unfocusing, and he grins up at the sight of you.

“Wanna make you feel good, too,” you whine.

He tuts, shaking his head. “Now, now. Sulking in’t gonna get you anywhere, is it?” He pulls his finger almost completely out of you before sinking it back in again quicker. You thrash your fists against the mattress and he breathes out a soft laugh. “What did I just say, sweets?” he asks in the same soft tone as before.

“Not sulking,” you pout. “Just wanna - wanna touch you and taste you and fu- Fuck, Tommy, I really wanna fuck you, please,” you plead as he adds another finger.

He does climb up your body, still working your core with one hand, to silently kiss you. His motions get far more rapid, moving in and out of you until his fingers are so slick with your juices that they just slip out of you, to which he then starts rubbing your clit at the same speed. Your cries of pleasure come out as muted vibrations against his lips, and you don’t realise him taking the pillow next to you and pulling it back down with him even as he breaks away. You blink your heavy-lidded eyes over and over, watching the imaginary spots that shower your field of vision slowly dissipate. 

“Plenty of time for that, love,” he soothes once he’s settled back down where he wants to be. “But right now, I fucking need your thighs around me.” His palms slide up and down the inner sides of your legs as a gentle prompt, and you comply, crossing your ankles loosely between his shoulder blades. He sighs contentedly. “So soft…” He shuffles into position to press a kiss to your clit, his hands wrapping around the flesh of your thighs to hold them in place. “So warm…” you hear him from the cave he’s made for himself between your legs as you feel him nuzzle his way further down to your core. “Perfect.” 

His tongue works as tenderly as it would if he were kissing you, gently poking its way through your folds and sliding through. Your fingers card through his curls as his head turns, this way and that, as he plays you like an instrument, eliciting different noises from you with every motion. Your legs twitch, instinctively squeezing together around his head, and he moans delightfully, pushing down on your thighs to tighten their hold on his head even more. He snakes his tongue inside of you, extending it to its stiffest, most pointed length as he bobs his head back and forth to fuck you with it.

Your legs wrap tighter still around him, and you feel his grip slip around to your ass cheeks to grip them roughly. The sensation of his fingernails digging into your supple flesh have you crying out in pleasure, which you can tell from his moans is turning him on insanely quickly.

But, with your thighs in a vice around him, it gets harder for you to grab his hair, make a mess of his curls so that when he resurfaces, it's obvious for the rest of the day what he's been up to. You don't get to look into those dark, rich eyes of his that caramelise when the sun sets just right through the window.

You pout, "Tommy…" as you relax your thighs, pulling them slightly away from him.

"Everything alright, sweets?" He asks with concern.

You continue in the same tone, "Miss your face."

With a soft laugh, he kneels up slightly, your heels naturally sliding off of his shoulder blades as he does. "Of course, angel, 'm sorry." He pushes your legs wide open, looking down adoringly at your glistening folds. "Such a perfect, pretty thing, isn't she?" he smiles, running the pad of his finger along them. Placing his hands just within the crooks of your legs, he gently pushes outward, spreading you even wider. He marvels at the sight in front of him studiously, his eyes darting around until he places another, calculated, kiss down between your legs, his lips and tongue working in ways no form of self-pleasure could ever replicate. 

His eyes flutter shut as he flicks his tongue in all kinds of formations: he lays it flat against you as he licks along your folds from the bottom up; he gently traces the insides of your lips with the tip; he waggles his tongue back and forth, at a speed your eyes can barely keep up with, as it works your clit from every angle he can move his head to reach. Every sound of pleasure you make is harmonised by his humming against you.

As you melt against him, warm brown eyes flicker up to look at you through his eyelashes as he starts suckling on your clit. All you can see of him are his curls, now wildly spread out thanks to your handiwork, his eyes and his nose, but with just those alone, his expression tells you how much he adores you. The way his brow softly knits together, the glint in his eye, it makes you feel like a goddess that he's obsessed with worshipping. 

You cry out, "Fuck, Tom… Feel… So good, 'm gonna -" The rest of your sentence is swallowed in a high-pitched whine as you feel the first pang of your crescendo forming.

Tom groans against you, pulling away just to tell you, "Perfect timing as always, angel, this has been turning me on like mad, wanna make you cum so badly."

You whimper, "Please… Want yours, too, Tommy."

He tuts, shaking his head. "No time, sweets. Think you coming on my face is exactly what I need to get off, too." Before you can answer back, he resumes suckling on your clit, burying two fingers inside of you and working them at the same speed he had earlier, until you're seeing those spots again. "So fucking gorgeous when you're all fucked out, babe," he croons. "C'mon, be a good girl and come all over me."

As you let your orgasm take full control over your body, he stops fingering you to immediately get his tongue in there, cleaning you up as you cream all over his mouth for what feels like eternity. His look changes as he devours you, one you recognise as his own orgasmic expression. You notice a little movement in the corner of your eye, and prop yourself up on your elbow to investigate.

You'd not even noticed you were a pillow short, let alone that he had slid his tracksuit bottoms to his knees to fold the pillow between his thighs, humping it as erratically as he'd move if he were coming. You let out a small, disappointed whimper. "Y'didn't need to use a pillow, 'm right here."

"Can't eat you out and cum inside you at the same time, sweets," he points out with a smirk, his whole body looking on the verge of giving up all movement as he slides back up to be eye-level with you.

"I could've sat on your face and sucked you off at the same time," you retaliate in a similar tone, and he chuckles.

"Nah, needed that. To just make my girl forget that anything else exists for a bit. Helps me feel the same, too," he explains, leaning over to kiss your forehead. "S'pose I should clean up what's in these boxers, though, eh?"

"Is it weird that it actually turns me on, knowing you came in your pants over me?" You ask as he heads into the bathroom, and half his laughter gets drowned out by the sound of running water. As he's cleaning himself up, you notice the discarded pillow and start rearranging the others until the one he'd been humping is beneath your head.

As he returns, he looks quizzically at the bottom of the bed, pointing to where the pillow had been. You bury half your face into it, smiling coyly as you look over at him, and he bites his lip. "Speaking of things that weirdly turn y'on, that's so doing it for me," he groans under his breath as he sits on the corner of the bed and reaches again for his shoes.

You frown, "Where you off to?"

"We have to eat at some stage, horndog," he teases, leaning over to tap your nose playfully.

"What are you gonna go and get, then?" You ask as he puts on his second boot.

"Thinking that Chinese place just outside of here, it's never that long of a wait," he shrugs, and you hum happily as you redress yourself in your pyjamas, opting to stay sitting up on your bed as he gets up.

"Sounds good to me. Could I have a -" Tom interrupts you by reciting your order exactly as he walks towards the door. Feeling nothing but the pure ecstacy of being around someone who remembers even the littlest details, you mindlessly call back to him, "You're the best! Love you!"

Your little bubble of contentment pops when you realise what you've said. How it's the first time you've said it. And it's just on a throwaway goodbye on his way to get a takeaway. He rushes the few paces it takes to get back to your bedroom to look at you, his expression tough to read, and say, "Say that again." You start to fluster, unsure how you can potentially backtrack from here, but he kneels one leg back onto your bed, leaning over to cradle your cheek in his hand. "Please. Say it properly, to my face," he pleads softly.

Grinning widely, you place your hand over his and look him dead in the eyes as he gives you that worshipping gaze all over again. "I love you, Tommy." A surprised chirp escapes the back of your throat as he tackles you back down onto the bed, furiously kissing your lips over and over and over again, and you laugh against him. "What happened to getting food, horndog? Now you've made me hungry!"

"'M not doing this to fuck ya, 'm doing this 'cause I love ya," he mutters as he kisses your neck. You lay back and revel in how good it feels until your stomach betrays you, growling loudly. The breath from Tom's laugh tickles your neck as he slides down to pull your pyjama top up enough to expose your tummy so he can kiss it. "Alright, message received, loud and clear, boss," he says directly to it before climbing off the bed. You giggle as you readjust your top, and he looks at you softly. "I do love you, y'know."

"If you did, you wouldn't keep me starving here, now, would you?" You tease, falling apart with laughter once more as he bolts out of the door. You head back to where the sofa is - where you'd left your phone - and send him a text: I love you, too, btw. 😘

As far as decent seasonal anime goes, have you checked out Handyman Saitou in Another World? Not an Isekai fan usually but I liked the concept and characters. Reborn to Master the Blade (fantasy, not Isekai) is a lot better than I expected. There's some fan service, but it delivers on strong female characters. Not sure if you've seen any of Vinland Saga, but season 2 is another one of my favs airing. It's less action than the first season though.

I’ve seen enough “weak characters with one actually overpowered ability” stories to have 0 interest in the handyman one.

The Master one I haven’t even heard about, might check it out.

As for Vinland, not gonna lie, I have exactly 0 interest in vikings, so I don’t even acknowledge it existence, I might someday, but eh, don’t keep your hopes up.

i've been thinking about your ig stories because there's been a debate lately on my twitter timeline because a girl said that "no one talks about the awkward moment when you're a woman living alone and you have to call an internet technician and you're alone with two men in your apartment". some people agree with her but some say she's exaggerating and that she's making women seem like immature idiots, and that she's classist because they're always afraid of electricians and plumbers and never

doctors or lawyers. but we are afraid of doctors. i am an adult and i almost had to go to the traumatologist with my dad because he heard that he touched his patients in weird ways

I think both can be true. Inviting unknown people into your home does increase danger, however slightly, and people can feel truly threatened even if no threat is actually present, and the system that created that perception of fear can be classist or racist. A lot of the time, it really is a mix of all three. We can know intellectually that the internet technician probably isn't a threat, while also being aware that inviting any unknown person into our home is a little bit of a threat, and while being aware that the reason we feel that way is mostly because we've been fed racist or classist stories for our entire lives about women who die at the hands of home service people. And we can recognize that those automatic reactions are really hardwired and hard to get rid of, even though intellectually we know other people are greater threats than home service people are.

For the sake of it, because you all know how much I like statistics, let's look at what the numbers say about this:

Over half of women have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact during their lifetimes. One in 4 women have experienced completed or attempted rape. On average, there are 463,634 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year in the United States. That is legitimately a huge problem, and it's one that we should be taking seriously.

However, about half (51.1%) of female victims of rape reported being raped by an intimate partner and 40.8% by an acquaintance. About 7% of assaults are perpetrated by a relative of the victim. About 5.6% of women reported some type of sexual violence by a workplace-related perpetrator, and 0.8% have been raped by a workplace-related perpetrator.

So that means that 426,543 women experience rape or sexual assault perpetrated by someone they know (about 0.28% of all women in the US or about 1 in 400). Only about 37,091 women each year experience rape or sexual assault perpetrated by a stranger (about 0.02% of all women in the US or 1 in 5,000).

Of that 37,091, I couldn't find a lot of good data about who the perpetrators were in terms of whether or not they were home service people, but I did find that about 55% of assaults are at or near the victim's home. If we take that to be true regardless of the victim's relationship to the perpetrator (just for simplicity's sake, because I couldn't find more specific data than this), that's about 20,400 women who would have been sexually assaulted in their own home by a stranger such as a handyman or internet technician or a random home invader (0.012% of all women in the US, or about 1 in 10,000). That's about the same odds of being injured by a toilet, dying of being hit by a car while walking, or dying in a mass shooting. Not nothing, but definitely not very common, either.

And like I said before, that's still a lot, and it's still a big problem. But centering those incidents of sexual assault by a stranger in their home means that we're decentering the 443,234 women who are assaulted by someone they know, and we're not doing a whole lot to protect them. It's kind of like if our entire culture was focused on preventing Japanese Encephalitis while ignoring Lyme disease- Japanese Encephalitis is definitely a problem, but way more people get Lyme Disease every year, and it's important to pay attention to it and to reduce the problem because it's what's causing the majority of the suffering.

Plus, by culturally shifting the focus off of women who have experienced sexual assault perpetrated by someone they know to women who experience sexual assault by a stranger, we're creating a couple of implicit narratives: that sexual assault can be prevented if the person just has the right training or tools, that women should be vigilant at all times, lest they be taken by surprise, and- this is the most problematic one- that if women are assaulted by someone they don't know, it's because they weren't being careful enough. In some ways, it's a version of, "she shouldn't have been wearing such a short skirt," or "she shouldn't have led him on" wrapped up in the language of caring. It creates a culture of fear that, in itself, prevents women from fully participating in public life, and I think that's dangerous.

And like I was saying on my stories, this is a convenient narrative because it means that people can think of perpetrators of sexual assault as the "other", not as someone that they know. And this is where things like racism and classism come in. It's much easier for someone to imagine that the perpetrators of sexual assault are a different race or social class to them than it is for them to imagine it might be their brother, friend, boyfriend, father, etc. And if it's some "monster" that just jumps out of the shadows, they don't have to consider how the actions of the men around them might be impacting other women. Nobody wants to believe that a guy they know has committed a sexual assault, and I think that cognitive dissonance is what makes this narrative so inviting.

But that also means that we can't effectively combat the majority of the problem. Like with other types of crime, combating sexual assault is complicated and requires a multi-faceted approach that requires us to have robust educational programs, create strong social networks, and have frank discussions with the men in our lives about consent and misogyny, among other things. Poor coping skills, low self-esteem, difficulty establishing and/or maintaining appropriate intimate relationships, a chaotic, unstable, or violent home environment, and difficulty developing meaningful peer networks are all risk factors for a person becoming a sexual offender. For example, prevention programs like The Men's Program or One in Four, that focus on empathy toward rape survivors and intervention of sexual assault situations, found that participants committed 40% fewer acts of sexually coercive behavior. It's a long road, and it's one that's largely an uphill battle, but I think these types of programs and interventions don't get nearly the attention they deserve, especially by people who purport to care about women's safety.

I want to be clear, I'm not saying that taking precautions is a bad idea. It's a good idea to have an alarm that you carry around on your keychain, and to lock your doors and windows, and to vet anyone who comes into your house to do work or who preforms a service for you, and to trust your instinct if you have a technician or an Uber driver who's giving off a weird vibe. Rather, I'm just trying to say that it's also important to vet the people who are closest to you, and it's important to make sure that the precautions we're taking are proportional to the actual level of risk we're in.

People capitalize on outrage and fear, and it's important not to let them turn your world into a scarier place than it actually is. This is a little bit of a rambly post, so I apologize for that. But I guess what I'm trying to get at is that I think most people are really just trying their best with the tools that they're given, and I don't want us to lose sight of that in the name of safety. We need to band together as a community instead of becoming more and more distrustful of the people we come across, for our own sakes and for the sake of society at large. And the kinds of videos that I was talking about on my stories are actively working against that goal. They're reinventing "Stranger Danger" for adult women, and I think that will be as detrimental for women as it was for children who grew up during the "Stranger Danger" era.

Sign : Leo 

Status: Single

born and raised in half moon bay sevket came from a small little family. his mother a stay at home mom and his father owning his own handyman services known around town. it wasnt much money and the family got by with what they needed. however regardless of never being rich sev was always a happy child. the boy never once complained about not having the newest shoes and gaming toys. he was rich in family and both his parents had loved and spent lots of time with him that was good enough for him.

through high school sevket kept mostly to himself. he enjoyed spending time in the library and loved spending time with evie. evie and him had became the best of friends in grade school and all through high school he had grown closer and closer to the female she truly was really the only one he had confided in. when he was a freshman his fathers work had slowed down which causes the family to hit even harder times. this resulted in sevket spending a lot more time with evie from time to time to avoid the fighting it caused at home. when tenth grade rolled around his fathers business had picked up and was better than ever. the fighting between his parents had stopped or at least he had thought.

a slow burn love sev thought he had with evie and the two had finally started dating his junior year. he had felt like everything in his life was going perfect. yet over the years the two had dated something had just felt off.. sure savket had loved evie however it didnt feel like that romantic type of love. yet he clung to it.

when sev had turned 18 and graduated his father and mother had broke the news that they were getting a divorce. sevket world was crushed thinking his family had this perfect marriage that could survive anything. it was a slap to the face but it only made sev cling to the perfect happy imagine of what a marriage should be. upon graduating despite that odd feeling with ev he instantly started bothering her her to marry him. he was determined to prove to his parents that love could concur all and nothing would break up true love. yet true intimate love was certainly something that ev and sevket were missing. sev ignored it and continued on with the engagement even though it certainly felt like more two friends living together.

sevket had skipped out on college and worked along side with his father with his handyman business. by ev's sophomore year of college that perfect idea of marraige had fallen apart with his fiancée' . when she had confessed that she had cheated sevket was still persistent on making it work. yet as the two had tried to work through it all it had just made more sense that there never was romantic love within their partnership. it never was truly anything slowburn. evie was his soulmate.. but she was his soulmate in a strictly platonic way. of course he had been a little upset she had cheated only because she hadnt talk to him first he had understood and could never hate or blame the woman. she was still perfect in his eyes and would always be.

as she left for london he had focused on his own life. gym and work became his life. eventually he was able to open up his own handyman service and became the biggest "do it all" kind of guy around town. were having issues with your sink pipes.. sevket could fix them.. needing your pool cleaned.. sevket would clean it. a man with a big heart and it paid off because his own business had finally took off. now at 32 the man has moved both his parents into his house in montara and now takes care of them when needed.

Rona- Could you please keep working on Dr. Kazi to write a letter now?

Did you find a Dr who can do the AI challenge for court today? Whose quickest at problem solving dissolutions?

IEHP psych sounds like a scam on street people. 

They are mass murdering us in apartheid! Courts kill 1000 per court annually!

Did Dr. Kazi review Dr. Cash's reports and connect?

Dr. Cash is my Forensic psychologist working pro-bono to clean up IEHP fraud. He wrote Psychology for Dummies! 

Can you make sure clerk didn't lie about canceling her rancid creepy court Dr's appointment? I don't agree with crap warfare anymore.

Care. 

Not court.

Dr. Kazi- 

We needs Tick Bight Report From Dr. BROWNING and

Dr. Nadia at Dr Queresheri's 

See Complaints about her Nurse Darlene Violating hippa rights. 

They both left. Darlene is being prosecuted for allowing her boytoy to rape daughter Melody Gray- and now we worry she stole her daughter- in foul play for him. She tried to hurt Melody with RO but Judge is on our side and DA has been asked to restrain iehp trolls.

Handyman Dennis Sketchly & Alex Dustin Grover- militia planted Tick in bed in December. No pets. It was a nazi trick and I've been slummed by Idyllwild Realty & militia 20+ times. I'm a realtor. I can find a nice home. Can you keep court Rats away though. I'm camping because of budget- but also to avoid militia court trolls. So sick of them. I call it fast now when I spot that bs!

X and my brother previously smeared me to the community about private personal medicine choices etc. 

Not interested in selling courts more data. 

We need refunds for 18 months filmed & caged!

Many court hookers abused me for them. 

Darin David Joye broke heart bullying me into Plea bargains for "job," with Abi Odam- my mediator coach I hired for 6 months!

Many hired to seduce/rape/sell etc. 

We think I have lymes, spirochetes, and cyst in brain- possibly skin/female cancers. Extreme fungus growth from dirty conditions at court and being a state refugee tortured on Apartheid stipend. 

It doesn't cover rent! 

Financial fraud from x and courts, blue Shield insurance- has made it hard to see as many naturopaths as I would like but I have extensive training and am a researcher/journalist. I'd like an honorary doctorate for civil service I've done globally on this Apartheid resolution. Noble peace prize? 

NEED SPIROCHETE REPORT

FROM DENTIST DR. CAREY O' REILLY IN ENCINITAS - He's leading expert and posted many videos of our Mouths gingivitis bacteria on YouTube. 

He was mortified my x brought disease home too.

He treats kids too.

Advanced Dermatology- 2 reports/labs

Dentist - 

Riverside Healthcare- labs

Dr. Keane fired

Dr. Singh charged with attempted murder on Probate fraud with thousands of attys/judges/clerks/scams.

I re-endacted probate. I'm not dead. 

I sent Dr Murphys gay Forensic psychologist report with Ashby Clark Sorrensons help- before he attempted my life with Grant Funk & X team with ROs.

Murphy says I'm a genius with a .001% highest vocabulary & IQ. He said courts were too dumb to understand my family of Geniuses. 

Dr. CASH - FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST

wrote Psychology For Dummies

Need Metropolitan Hospital report 

For Dmv.org registration for Judge Hodges at Traffic courts. His clerks had me raped many times in 5 years and robbed with Psyche abuse in Judge Judith Clark's murderous courts.

I won and need refunds on wrongful rental car arrest. I proved competency once again. Courts are literally ill with doubt. Murdering is a gruesome job- they suffer- and we don't care. 

Charge them please. 

I was also hospitalized and 5150'd by x to Las Calinas on a murder attempt. I had a dire allergic reaction when an officer dosed me with Depakote and said it was vitamin d. I Begged to go to the hospital. 

Monday they attempted to force me to die on 12 drugs in Psyche court- no call out under Mathew Robert's for Lori Clark Viviano's bribes in public defense rapes.

I appealed and won medical freedom and competency. 

I was hospitalised in Riverside too by psychologist boss Carmel Benson on bribes- raped from work for months- then neighbor murdered!): I always prove competent immediately and don't appreciate my bosses selling me on black market. 

Mary Schmitz and Joan did this at their animal Rescues and I was beat up from work over expired car registration. 

We all know SSI doesn't cover housing or food! 

How to pay for government extortion as a refugee camping? 

Cop Rape is imminent daily. Scary! 

Need Calm And Ground Julie Steiger reports and receipts for 11 months of out of pocket court ordered therapy. She quit early on bribes with CPS & attys. Shes involved in foul play at Idyllwild arts now caging children that didn't appreciate 12+ teachers molesting them! Need $5k + damages in refunds!

I was caged at RPDC shortly after she quit. I got x rays of broken ribs there and Covid2. Please submit data. 

I paid for a year of therapy with Blue Shield Dr Amy Bell. She witnessed violence and saw me immediately after. So did Rebecca Stewart at my Leucadia acupuncturist.

Sunil and I saw several couples therapists. His atty Dr. Alan Silverman was referred by his Mistress paralegal- his x neonazi converted Jewish whore. She doubled on bribes at CPS and called herself a court officer after 7 years of winning her custodial real estate battle with Sunils next atty Jeff Fritz- and my real estate- free help- at my expense with kids for years! These peeps mixed my family! Jeff retired- hired Lori Clark Viviano. She arranged hit and run. Kids and I had to see chiropractors for years in Encinitas, Carmel valley and Idyllwild. Then they attacked my cars, homes & kids. Dr. Alan Silverman teaches Dr Gardner grooming yo pedophiles with Sunil's other lover Daniel Smachtenberger from physics in college. Daniel has lymes and probably gave early spirochetes when Sunil was cheating and stashing cash as UK spy. 

I worked for months with Therapist Tima Ivanova- she quit - conflict of interest with a friend who investigated murder of my property manager. 

I had one other awful iehp therapist that would multitask on the phone and barely heard me. It was hurtful. T Mobile also didn't work at most homes so it's a major hassle to waste time on bad iehp Drs!

I did 18 months of State therapy incarcerated too. I hated it. A Dr. would ask a question & walk away. It was 1-5 minutes of terrorism generally. 

Close that 3rd world detention slavery center! 

I never met a good Dr there and met thousands of worst psychiatrists & a plethora of rushed ignorant Dr's.

Dr. Kazi also found out that I'm allergic to tomatoes & peanuts as a result of ww3 hostage for terrorism. When is the president defending Persian Americans slaughtered in Apartheid by a million Jewish attys & neo nazi defense team? 

Need professional Mammogram order 

Get last ones- Dr Natalya did an awful breast exam! Need real obgyn!

Encinitas Dr said fibrocystic breasts.

Hospitals wouldn't let me have vitamin d or vegetarian diets for 6-9 months in Christian terrorism.

Need to go over 9 labs w/ Dr Kazi next week!

Scripps La Jolla ICU report from 2017 Mark Milton beating with victim reports filed for DA. 

Head injury is best if I practice my own medicine. Courts failed in covid 1,2 &3 Germ warfare. They're filthy! 

Any professional would close down with health department!

Judges have eye sight & contract/real estate training issues. They didn't pass bar? Perhaps!

I need a dissolution. Not another attempt on my life! Dr's steal from my work and family time. I know I'm entertaining. I've never met an iehp Dr or County service that can help heal practical health issues. I have 20+ hairballs & bio matter. I know how to take care of myself as a yogini, mom & educator journalist. We feel sorry for awfully sick court people- but they stole and hurt us in their Kinks. They don't deserve to keep Job's and we need Sanctions on all services rendered plus refunds on every single Offenders license. Thousands took bribes. Mother Nature wants family united.

Israel is just another gaslighting drama- an attack on family/sacred. We're not amused- nor impressed. Our kids need to live in their homes safe. We don't want government raping our families in schools, Apartheid nor courts. They failed my family, Israel, Lahaina and Pres wrote an Iran check to the wrong person. 7 billion go to Persian Americans too. Annually. Tell Jewish Doctors & lawyers to soul search and make reparations for millions of Slaves in America. It's a gross civil emergency what our defense team has done.

They are mass murdering.

Let me know if you can do a conclusive disclosure from all these Dr's. Iehp won't help. None of their Dr's are credited. Medical? Send me your favorite Dr's info only on referrals. I'm very prudent for myself and my sisterhood. Our lives were attempted- so we whistleblow- to stop abuse for our Dr's, patients, students, teachers and mothers. I speak on behalf of 2b mothers globally who demand end of Apartheid. 

We need 50/50 defenses/dissolution and defend rapists immediately with vasectomies and maximum charges. This is sick a rape has to be reported over 20 years in USA. Not one woman nor child ever thought psychiatrist drug induced rape was good for them or anyone's Psyche. How does it make you feel? 24 officer rapes. Police reports at Metropolitan Hospital. 

You can get kids files from the same Dentist, and Christine Wood is there Dr. At El Camino pediatrics. Dr. Eric eisen felt Dr's Clogged their organs with drug warfare & they bloated sick in pictures! You're not meant to take pharmaceuticals for more than 30 days but court Dr's constantly murder & OD. Mom said kids had nightmares so Sunil rufid them. Did he rape them when they were under? His bf reccomends this kind of drugging/grooming/pedo is famous dad and they both consult on mommy murders/rapes in court. I need ROs from all these gross stalkers from x monk David Kaplan's circles! 

I saved myself several times. 

I will now too.

You need to gather ALL medical files! I saw 3 horrible medical dentists. I need my money so I can practice medicine as I was trained at best ayurvedic medical and psychological college in globe.

No one is selling me again. Please do your job so moms can do ours appropriately.

I also wrote all my sandiego Dr's for you on intake forms? Please get my MD Dr. Blaine's files and rest. Those were best Dr's prior to hospital bullying into iehp.

Jay Curatolo is PS promising to provide a DA victim report and fair speedy trial and dissolution. They've literally used 1000's of employees to extort everything we have. We're so done with these bastards! 

7 years is a lot of data!): 

Thank you!

Peace!

Merci!

My FIL who has white man victim syndrome was complaining about a commercial because it showed a female owned tree removal service and to him that's just woke bullshit??

Like you are just looking for reasons to be angry and feel victimized and its hard to be around you.

He called out the same commercial for having the term "handyman" then showing women owned businesses that offer such services.

World Class Handyman Services at Your Doorstep - Care N Clean Dubai

It can be a difficult task to run a big house, office, or school alone. There is such a tremendous amount of work to oversee and a brief period to do it. When you have a great amount of work to do, you need to release a few things. Minor issues like building maintenance end up being a big problem for you. You would be surprised to know that with development in today's society, certain professional companies are willing to handle these minor issues with home handyman services.

Read this blog to know what handyman services are and how you can profit from them.

What Are Handyman Services?

You are probably going to have known about handyman services. Do you understand what services do they provide?

A handyman offers an extensive list of services. You can get any minor fix work and maintenance work in your home. They can provide everything from the exterior services like paint final details to the installment of carpets. They can also do other work like electrical repairing, plumbing, power washing, tile work, and much more.

Benefits of Handyman Services For Your Home

Now that you know what home handyman services are, you'll need to think about the benefits of working with such help.

More affordable than In-House Maintenance Staff

You might be in a place where you're thinking about whether you should enlist an in-house upkeep staff to assist you with fix work. The upside of having a handyman fulfill the work is that it's more affordable than recruiting a full-time or low-maintenance representative. You can have a professional company reserving with a dedicated group of people like Care n Clean who offer handyman services. That saves you from paying a staff part for quite a long time when there's not much work to complete.

Your Building Maintenance is Up to Date

There is nothing more awful than not giving any attention to building maintenance. It can be as basic as weeds developing around your home or an entryway that needs to be changed. It is not easy to stay aware of everything. However, when you let these things go on, they can deplete your energy. You look at them, get irritated that they're still issues, and proceed onward with your day. Hire an expert home handyman with one click on our website and save yourself from these minor irritations.

Spot Potential Problems

You presumably will not have the chance to go through and review each place in your house. That means you are not ready to spot little things that are expected issues. For example, there might be a sink that has a small hole. You will not notice it until it turns into a leaky tap. A home handyman will detect these minor issues and help you keep steady over them.

Care n Clean has professional people that come with every one of the essential tools and strategies needed to do a remarkable job and dependable home handyman services. They aim to keep your home in great shape and help you with little maintenance when required.

At Ouran High School, an academy where only the children of the rich and powerful attend, there exists a club consisting of the most elite of the student body: the legendary Host Club. Within the club's room, six beautiful, bored boys spend their time entertaining equally beautiful and bored girls.

Haruhi Fujioka, a poor scholarship student, has no interest in the Host Club—until she breaks a valuable vase in their clubroom. After being mistaken for a boy, Haruhi is forced by Kyouya Ootori to work for the Host Club to repay her debt. Tamaki Suou, the princely leader of the club, eagerly takes her under his wing to teach her the ways of the host.

Things, however, are never quite so simple with the Host Club around. Even the most mundane events can turn into huge spectacles with the likes of prankster twins Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, stoic Takashi Morinozuka, and sweet Mitsukuni "Hunny" Haninozuka. The crazy adventures of the Host Club are just beginning, and Haruhi must learn how to survive in the glitzy world of the hosts.

And after Takumi Usui—the most popular boy at school—discovers her secret, that might just happen. Kaichou wa Maid-sama! follows their story as they spend more time together and eventually begin to understand each other's secrets.

Wendip Week 2020 - Time Travel

What if Wendip kids time traveled to the first summer?

Time Travel 

“Mom! Dad!” one of a pair of well hidden teens call out as the car hits the ground and rolls. When it stops, the passenger door opens and Dipper falls out.

“So... close.” Dipper said as he begins crawling, “Mabel... I'm... almost there.”

“Remember, just cause they can’t see us doesn’t mean they can’t hear us.” The other hidden teen quietly said as he pulled a device from out of his pocket.

Dipper stops in crawling front of a cloaked figure who walked into the his path. The cloaked figure offers him his hand and pulls back his hood, “Heya, Dipper. How's it hanging?”

“Look it’s Uncle Soos. Man he’s lost so much weight.” The first teen softly added.

Dipper’s face brightened as he saw his friend, “Soos!”

Wendy stands up from behind the car, she appears bruised as she says. "Soos?”

Smiling as her, Soos replied “Handyman of the apocalypse, at your service.”

“Alright that was nice. We’re gonna have to call him that the next time we see him bro.” The redheaded teen girl said as she looked out at her parents and her ‘uncle’.

“If they don’t kill us for doing this I’ll think about it sis.” The male ten said he pressed a button on the device and aimed it at his parents. “Man, they look so young. It’s hard to believe dad was ever that little. And mom, wow.”

“It’s happening, you got it working?” the older teen asked her ‘little’ brother.

“Of course I do, sis. I’ve been operating this camera since Aunt Tambry gave it to me.” The mahogany mopped male said as he watched a group of wannabe ‘Asphalt Maniacs’ have surrounded their parents, cheering. “Wait a minute, is that Penny’s dad down there with them. Man he was such a chump.”

Gideon steps onto the hood of the truck, “Wooowee. I dare say y'all almost had the jump on me there for a second. But this ain't your Gravity Falls anymore! Out here, I win.”

He then claps and gets thrown a conch, which he blows before he added. “Bill's henchbats will be here any minute to retrieve y'all. MABEL'S MINE NOW! Hahahaha!”

Dipper looked down at something in his hands that the teens couldn’t get a good look at from where they were before he responded, "Is she?”

Meanwhile Gideon began to huff, looking much more like a petulant child than the calm and composed father of one of their out of town friends, "Well, yeah. I have her trapped, ergo, Mabel is MINE!”

“Whoa, wait a minute. Mr. Gleeful was a bad guy? And he tried to kidnap Aunt Mabel?” the female teen said as she processed what she had heard.

“Why I outta go down there and give that lil ship a piece of my mind.” The male teen added.

“Can’t let you do it Ran. The speech we came here to tape is about to happen. Besides, we promised Officer Blandin that we wouldn’t change history.” The girl said to her brother.

“I know Debs. But sheesh, just hearing that makes me angry.” Ran responded as he held up the camera and it’s small directional microphone towards where his father stood.

Dipper looked back down at whatever was in his hands before he spoke “Gideon, listen to me, if I've learned anything this summer it's that you can't force someone to love you.”

Looking at Wendy for a moment, Dipper then turns back towards Gideon and continued. "The best you can do is strive to be someone worthy of loving.”

Gideon stood up straight as he yelled, “Oh, I'm worthy o' lovin'! These prisoners love me!”

The two teens continued to watch the gathering until Gideon and his goons drove off towards the floating pyramid.

“Wait a minute, that was it? That was the speech that told mom that dad was the one? Really?” Ran was saying as he shut off the camera and began putting it back into the pock on his cargo pants. “I mean, I thought it was gonna be some grandiose speech worthy of Stoneworker.”

“Oh com’on bro. Cheer up. We came here to get a keepsake for Mom and dad’s anniversary, not so you could get a hint on how to talk to your ‘girlfriend’.” The seventeen year old said to her fifteen year old brother. She pulled a familiar tape measure off of her belt.  

“Hey,  Meaghan is just a friend, who happens to be a girl. Wait a minute, why? what have you heard?” Ran was asking as his sister snapped the tape measure closed and they disappeared.

For her role in Rent, Dawson won the Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture; for her role in Top Five, she was nominated for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actress in a Comedy.

Dawson is also known for having several roles in comic book adaptations. These include Gail in Sin City (2005) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014), providing the voices of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman in the DC Animated Movie Universe and Barbara Gordon / Batgirl in The Lego Batman Movie, as well as her portrayal of Claire Temple in five of the Marvel/Netflix series: Daredevil (2015–2016), Jessica Jones (2015), Luke Cage (2016–2018), Iron Fist and The Defenders (both 2017).

Early life

Dawson was born on May 9, 1979, in New York City. Her mother, Isabel Celeste, is of Cuban and Puerto Rican ancestry. Isabel was 16 years old when Rosario was born; she never married Rosario's biological father, Patrick C. Harris. When Rosario was a year old, her mother married Greg Dawson, a construction worker. Dawson has a half-brother, Clay, who is four years younger.

Isabel and Greg sublet their 199 Avenue A apartment to Paul de Rienzo and moved their family into a reclaimed building after being approved by the 544 East 13 Street residents on the Lower East Side of Manhattan as members of a affordable housing plan. During that time Rosario and Clay would also grow up in Texas. Dawson has cited this part of her history when explaining how she learned that, "If you wanted something better, you had to do it all yourself."

Career

Suspiria, a young woman's bad dream

Suspiria (1977)

Well, this movie was not what I thought it was going to be, but perhaps that’s my fault for being so ignorant of 1970’s Italian (surrealist?) Horror. It is a completely different language film language from even the previously reviewed ‘Diabolique’. But the unique treat of this stylish women centered horror is worth being thrown for a loop.

This movie kicks off with some very obvious symbolism of our young heroine Suzy in a white dress following in the footsteps of a bright red dressed woman. Suzy unaware of the foreshadowed danger continues making her way through German airport where she has arrived to attend a prestigious dance academy, Freiburg Dance Academy. In the first oddity of the movie Suzy hails a cab. She asks the driver, male, to get out and help her with her two tiny bags in the pouring rain. And the most surprising thing to the room I was watching with was that he didn’t. She honest to god only had two tiny bags but was is odder for her to ask considering the circumstances or for the man to ignore her asking completely. So the main character is set up with a bit of a … hostile? Perhaps uncaring? Environment. But what this reads in retrospect is that Suzy will have to quickly learn to be independent and unafraid to do what she needs to. Regardless Suzy makes it to her destination but as she comes to the door a woman rushes out disturbed, muttering, and then running away into the night. Suzy is… unbothered by this for the most part. She remarks on its oddness but does not act on the woman in any way. So Suzy goes up to the door and asks to be let in via the intercom system but is denied. So she decides to leave and come back in the morning.

The camera decides instead to follow the fleeing Patricia as she stays the night with a friend. She is followed and haunted by an unknown apparition. It reaches to grab her from outside the window with large masculine looking hands. Odd considering we know this is sent to kill her by a seemingly all female coven. But perhaps that’s purposeful. The witches are only known to be using witchcraft through subtle machinations. While never revealed the coven does keep around a couple men in laborer roles to maintain the estate. This may be an illustration of their backwards and ironic dominance of men. While most witch stories have witches in some sense serving under the devil, the ancient Mother Susipiriorum and her two sisters seem to be their own forces of nature. The school having a large portion of male staff is supposed to be odd to the viewer. Even how housework as depicted by these men would usually be a role assumed by women. Like a certain male student is worried about getting home in time for supper. He has to be loyal to the school as he is unable to pay their full tuition, so he became the schools errand boy. They even degrade the handyman saying that the girls can say whatever they please about him because he doesn’t speak English. Instead of ugly Romanian man instead make him a buxom Russian maid and this dialogue becomes much more normalized, particularly for the time.

Despite the girl power narrative of these strong murderous witches oppressing men, I say sarcastically, the coven is very much a self-serving organization. Any possibility of a student, no matter their gender, finding out about their coven is in instant danger for horrific murder. Their ultra-violence isn’t even used in a spell or ritual sense, they just seem willing to murder women and men alike for any reason they deem worthy. They have a blind man killed by his own service dog for his dog biting a little boy one of the head mistresses was fond of. Oh yeah, I hadn’t mentioned yet but on of the women in charge of the school keeps around a little Victorian child she calls her nephew almost like a pet. Overall this narrative has a very dream like feel makes intent difficult to follow.

Back to the plot at large Suzy comes in the next day to begin her time at the academy, and every character to greet her is sure to first mention how beautiful Suzy is. Of course in a performing art like Ballet not looking hideous could be seen as part of the job but the why not compliment her body? As a ballerina that is what would be more focused on. But in 1970’s Germany, and under the directorial lead of a 1970’s Italian man, it is a fit for the time. Beautiful comes to be synonymous with acceptable when relating to women. When Patricia is kicked out of the academy/ murdered She is spoken very ill of by staff and fellow dancer alike. Almost immediately these women are willing to turn against their own because they were perceived of as wrong. Even though Patricia did nothing wrong besides get caught spying of the murderous coven hiding in her dance school. Women throughout history have had very polarizing view thrust upon them. Very infrequently even outside of film is an ‘okay’ woman accepted. They must be poised, graceful, or the very best to be considered. Otherwise they can quickly become cast out as social pariahs just as Patricia instantly was. So Patricia is thrown under the bus by her fellow woman in order to keep their nefarious, world controlling ways secret.

The witch’s coven seems to thrive with the easily manipulated dance students living above them. They do however seem completely unwilling to add more to their coven. Suzy is descried as ‘strong willed’ but framed as that is thought of as a negative thing. These witches and their craft are framed as negative and not as a tool for women but as evil. Suzy later in the movie visits a professor of the occult. He claims witches can only cause harm and sickness, only working to accumulate personal wealth and power. He also contradicts himself and claims witchcraft is just mental illness. Okay, sure, lets ignore all the supernatural murders. Only working to accumulate wealth and power? So what that’s what men do every day. I would love to hear this professor explain how using magic to murder people you don’t like is any morally different from what the rich and wealthy do every day. But I guess when women do it it’s strange and unnatural as opposed to the very natural concept of a ruling elite class of families controlling the world already. But what is most telling of the times is the doctors most harshly delivered line that these women do not giving life only death. Because what else can women do besides give birth in order to not be compared to literal murder witches.

This movies plot is for the most part irrelevant. But Suzy finds the witch coven using her wit and strong will the witches attempted to suppress in her. But the ultimate outcome I took from this film was the need of young women to question and even break old norms. As Suzy sets the house ablaze and escapes, I see the metaphorical winds of change ushering her out of the building that dared to attempt to keep her down. The final famous shot of Suzy is that of her walking away from the burning academy smiling. Not in a crazed grimace but a knowing smile. Suzy knows she has destroyed this terrible institution and she will be able to move past this terrible dream. She does not need these outdated traditions that only manifest to hold her back or attempt to suppress her will and character.

Your first thought when you pull your truck up the long gravel drive is that this cannot possibly be the right address. You frown, looking down at the map on your passenger seat, a bright red circle over the area you were in.

When you got your assignment from the Park Service, it was a dream come true. Now though, looking ahead at the derelict cabin ahead of you, it was looking more like a nightmare.

You cut the engine and lean on your steering wheel, blowing a strand of hair out of your eyes. “Okay,” you sigh to yourself, “Let’s go see what the hell I got myself into.”

You haul a bag out of your truck and head up to the rickety front steps, watching carefully so you don’t end up stepping right through a weak spot.

Your interview with your supervisor was suspiciously brief, and you didn’t get a lot of details. He seems like he’s not much for words, so you had just taken it with a grain of salt in the moment. Now? You wish you knew more about the area you were in and what exactly the full extent of your duties are.

“There’s a campground at the Northeast end of the Park. It’s not as popular as our other campgrounds, but we get mountain climbers and hikers out there. It needs some cleaning up. I’m going to send you and another team out there to get started.”

Just then, the door bursts open and two men almost fly through it, each of them glaring at the other, straightening their uniforms as they struggle for breath.

“Sorry we’re late.”

Your supervisor glares at them. “You’re lucky Bobby put in for you, or--” He stops mid sentence, glancing at you. Awkwardly, he clears his throat. “Anyway. Y/N, this is Sam and Dean. Sam and Dean, this is Y/N. She’s new.”

“So are we.” Sam says with a friendly smile, shaking his hand. You’re struck at first by how tall he is.

“The three of you are going to be doing some maintenance. Some of the campsites need to be cleared out of brush, and the main shower building needs some work.” He turns to you, “I know this probably isn’t what you pictures when you graduated, but we all start somewhere.”

“Honestly as long as I’m working here in the Park, I don’t care what I’m doing.” You say honestly, and you can feel -- what was his name? Dean? You can feel his eyes on you. You blush, feeling self conscious.

You supervisor smiles, a little rough around the edges. “There’s an old cabin at the end of the road towards the campground. It’s a little rough, but nice enough. You’re staying there, Y/N. Sam and Dean are going to take up the role of camp hosts and stay in the campground.”

That brings you to now, inside the sparse living quarters you’ve been assigned. You’re not a materialistic person, you don’t care about that, but-- when you heard this campground was remote, they weren’t kidding.

There’s not even a camp store close by, so you make a mental note to make the drive to Estes Park and force yourself to deal with the crowds long enough to do some heavy duty grocery and supply shopping.

A knock on the doorframe as you’re standing there with your bags makes you jump, and you turn around to see Dean, one of the other rangers standing there, a sheepish smile on his face.

“Sorry - I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“It’s okay,” you smile weakly. “Are you settled in at the campground?”

He nods. “Just down the road. Have you been over there yet?”

“Not yet.” You set your bag down by your feet. “Looks like I have my work cut out for me here, too.”

Dean grins, eyes roving over every inch of your new home. You notice the way his eyes linger on the flimsy lock and the broken windows, and watch curiously as his expression hardens, just a bit. “My brother and I can help you fix this place up. All the way out here… you should at least get the windows replaced.”

You shrug. “The Park Service is supposed to handle all of that. I don’t think--”

“It’ll be faster if we help you do it.” Dean suggests. “Unless you don’t want-- sorry if I’m overstepping--”

“No, no.” You take a step closer to him. “I appreciate it. Thank you. I just-- I’m still trying to wrap my head around all of this, that’s all.”

He’s quiet for a minute, biting his bottom lip. “Well, I don’t think we actually have to get started on the campground until tomorrow. So just walk down there if you need anything.”

“Thanks.”

He gives you a little wave as he heads out the door, and you try not to feel self conscious when he looks back over his shoulder as he gets to the end of the gravel drive.

.

.

.

4 hours later you’re exhausted. You managed to find some cleaning supplies tucked away in a closet and scrubbed down the entire cabin. There’s not much in the way of furniture, but a new mattress was supplied for you, and you collapse into it with relief.

A knock on your door makes you groan, and you barely manage to make it to your feet, shuffling into what is technically the living room so you can answer the door.

The other, taller one -- Sam, your mind supplies -- is there, a shy smile on his face, and a toolbox in hand. “Hi. Dean mentioned you need a new lock put on?”

“What are you guys -- the welcome committee?” You tease.

“Figured it’s the least I can do if we’re going to be doing manual labor together,” He says, grinning.

“I appreciate it. So… have you guys been with the Park Service for long?”

“Ah… no. Not really. A few months.”

You hum non committedly as you watch him get to work, and in the distance you can make out the sounds of families at the campground. It brings a small smile to your face - you remember the trips with your family as a big reason why you wanted to work at a National Park in the first place.

“Always wanted to be a handyman?” You ask, and he snorts.

“Not exactly. You know how it is. Shit duty before you can get the real work.”

You frown. “Yeah.” You stare out the window, admiring the view of the Rockies. “It’s beautiful out here though, I’m just glad to be here at all.”

Through the open door as Sam works, you can see Dean approaching, taking a minute to admire the way he looks in his uniform. You’re not blind, he’s a good looking guy. There’s something there keeping you at a distance though, the clench of his jaw and the way his eyes dart around making you a little unsettled.

“Were you calling me?” He asks his brother immediately, not even bothering to look at you. You bristle a bit, but ignore it.

“What?” Sam looks up briefly from where he’s finishing screwing in the plate on the new door lock. “No. I’ve been here the whole time.”

“I thought--” Dean looks back out the open door. “Never mind. Are you almost done? I need to talk to you.”

Again, you bristle, because it was like night and day with this guy. Wasn’t he just here this morning having a polite, borderline-flirty conversation with you? You roll your eyes at yourself, because you don’t have time to care about this. Sam and Dean are coworkers, and for right now, neighbors. That’s it.

“That’ll do it,” Sam says. “You should be all set. The key is the same, but just a little more secure.” He smiles at you.

“I appreciate it. This place doesn’t need any help being creepy, so at least the lock will give me peace of mind.”

“If you need anything else, let me know.” Sam says, and you watch out of the corner of your eye as Dean rolls his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Thank you, Sam.” You reply, laying it on extra thick, the petty part of you wanting nothing more than to annoy the older Winchester as much as possible. God forbid you actually take up Sam’s offer to help out, not to mention the fact that Dean was the one who pointed out all the repairs that needed to be done.

Men. You’ll never understand them.

The Winchesters leave, and you feel exhaustion once again settle into your bones. You’re finally going to take that nap, and nothing is going to interrupt you this time.

Dean’s shoulders are tense as he and Sam walk back to the campground. Dean can’t shake the feeling that something is off - especially because he knows he wasn’t imagining hearing Sam’s voice earlier as he was doing research.

“You know, you could have been a little nicer back there.” Sam says.

“I was distracted.”

“Still. It’s bad enough she’s getting roped into this whole thing--”

“That wasn’t our call. We had no say in that.”

“I just find it weird that the guy in charge would bring us in here knowing full well what we could be up against but still puts someone out here alone in a cabin. Doesn’t even bother to close the campground.”

“You think he has something to do with it?”

Sam shrugs, stopping as they get to the door of their trailer, pulling it open. “Wouldn’t be the craziest thing that’s ever happened.”

Dean frowns. He can’t make sense of this. The attacks that have been happening were written off earlier on as bear attacks. But after the frequency ratcheted up, no one could pretend anymore. The director is an old hunter friend of Bobby’s and decided he couldn’t handle this one by himself.

“We should go around and introduce ourselves to the campers,” Dean says, thinking out loud. “Hopefully we can get some stories out of some of them and figure out what we’re dealing with here.”

Sam nods. “Good idea.”

They’re both quiet for a minute, before Dean smirks, “Did you see her checking me out in this uniform, though?”

Sam rolls his eyes. “Dude.”

“What? She was.”

Sam snorts. “You’re so full of yourself.”

could you please summ up for me all the key figures in a household staff ? for exemple what's a footman an why is it different from a vallet?

Butler - A butler is a domestic worker in a large household. In great houses, the household is sometimes divided into departments with the butler in charge of the dining room, wine cellar, and pantry. Some also have charge of the entire parlour floor, and housekeepers caring for the entire house and its appearance. A butler is usually male, and in charge of male servants, while a housekeeper is usually a woman, and in charge of female servants. Traditionally, male servants (such as footmen) were better paid and of higher status than female servants. The butler, as the senior male servant, has the highest servant status. He can also sometimes function as a chauffeur.

Chaffeur/Driver - A chauffeur is a person employed to drive a passenger motor vehicle, especially a luxury vehicle such as a large sedan or limousine. A woman employed to drive a passenger motor vehicle is a chauffeuse

Chief of Staff - Those with larger estates and houses may also find that a chief of staff (COS) can be indispensable. The role can be very broad, but can include the general management of a home or property portfolio, staff or events. On a personal level, a COS can be a right-hand person to a principal and their family.

Chef - A private chef oversees all meals, taking responsibility for kitchen management and budgeting, maintaining impeccable hygiene standards and planning and preparation of the finest quality ingredients. They can develop menus and meal plans, accommodating any specific dietary requirements, as well as cater to formal functions and events. A private chef can also travel with the principal and family when necessary.

House Estate Manager - Estate Managers are responsible for hiring and training staff and usually oversee ongoing personnel management. Some Estate Managers have a more ‘hands-on’ role, depending on your needs, but their primary roles involve the management and supervision of other household staff

Housekeeper - A housekeeper is an individual responsible for the supervision of a house’s cleaning staff.

Houseman - A versatile solution for many households, is having a houseman will ensure the general up keep of the household and gardens.

A valet - A valet or “gentleman’s gentleman” is a gentleman’s male servant; the closest female equivalent is a lady’s maid. The valet performs personal services such as maintaining his employer’s clothes, running his bath and perhaps (especially in the past) shaving his employer.

Footmen - duties include admitting visitors and waiting at table such as filled glasses, placed and removed dishes etc. while standing at meals.

A Ladies Maid - A lady’s maid is a female personal attendant who waits on the lady of the house, and is a position very similar to a gentleman’s valet. In a larger household, various footmen might be assigned specific duties (for which there might be a traditional sequence), such as the silver specialist. Usually the footmen performed a range of duties which included serving meals, opening and closing doors, carrying heavy items, or moving furniture for the housemaid to clean behind. The footmen might also double as valets, especially for visiting guests.

Wardrobe Manager - They oversee the inventory, purchasing, and planning of your wardrobe, with experience handling the clothing of high profile and high-net-worth individuals. Familiarity with maintaining luxury fashion items and caring for them accordingly is a prerequisite for a qualified wardrobe manager.A wardrobe manager’s skills can overlap to varying degrees with those of Lady’s Maids, Personal Assistant, and Laundress, but a dedicated Wardrobe Manager is focused on curating and caring for all aspects of maintaining the extensive array of a client’s attire.

Laundress - A laundress is responsible for maintaining all the clothing and linens for the household

These tasks include trade skills, repair work, maintenance work, are both interior and exterior, and are sometimes described as “side work”, “odd jobs” or “fix-up tasks”. Specifically, these jobs could be light plumbing jobs such as fixing a leaky toilet or light electric jobs such as changing a light fixture.
