Chapter 2 : Oddities and Chills

[𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒓, 6:38 𝑷𝑴, 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆-𝑪𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄]

Dante was driving back home after dropping THEE BRUCE WAYNE off at the Wayne Manor which was coincidentally not too far away from the Masters Manor, Dante was humming as he drove home with a few bags of Toys that Danny and Dani will love... He slows down as he approaches the gates and slowly it opened, he shudders as he can imagine Jazz beating the living shit out of him but as long as he can see his two kids smiles he'll be fine. Dante parked his car in the garage and slowly heading towards the doors. As he opens the door with the bags He was greeted by his twins just happily seeing him.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Both Danny and Ellie said in unison as they jumped up to be carried by him, he puts down the bags and cooed on them both who were giggling and hugging him with their small hands. "My cutie Pies." He coos ignoring his sister who was holding the Phantom Creepstick with a smile and letting it bounce on her hand slowly, Dante chuckled slowly and handed the Amused Clockwork(Butler Disguise) the bags of Toys for the twins... "Please take them upstairs and let the twins play with them Clockwork..." Dante smiles nervously and Clockwork Nodded as he told the twins to follow him upstairs.

"Jaz—" Dan was cut off with a Bat to his gut, "UGHK—" He groaned In pain as he leaned further and kneeled on the wall. "I'm sor—" he tried to apologize but Jazz hit him again this time with a Sandal. "WE HAD EXPLICIT RULES!! EXPLICIT FUCKING RULESS!! DANTE!!" She kept hitting him with her sandal "YET YOU HOOK UP! WITH THE PLAYBOY BACHELOR NEXT DOOR?!" Jazz yelled "AH— IM SORRY IM SORRY HE WAS HOT OKAY??" Dante tried to reason but to no avail. Jazz huffed and stood back up in annoyance but she just crossed her arms. "This is so fun to watch." Paulina says as she sat on the couch and watched Dan get beat up whilst drinking milk boba tea.

"WHY IS SHE HERE??!" Dante yelled as he slowly stand up and dusting his suit.. "god this suit smells so much like him—" he kept sniffing his wrist and received a sandal thrown to his face. Paulina laughed, she was only there for girly girls night out stuff with Valerie and Jazz. "You look like a smitten loser Dan.." Valerie chuckled. "Please don't tell me you're Inlove or something—" She glared at Dante and he just smiled cheekily. Jazz sighed in defeat, "Valerie, HunnyBun, And Paulina, Let's go out yes? Girls night out." Jazz composes herself and smiles, she's wearing casual clothes and ready for a night out. "Star and Ember say they're totally coming." Paulina giggled and stood up from the couch and patting Dante's Chest, "Manboobs." Paulina laughed as she went outside.

"Please don't ever call my chest Manboobs ever again... God— that hurts so much— Jazz why—" Dante asks and just curled back up on the floor clutching his gut. "Cuz you fucked A WAYNE! THE MAIN FAMILY BACHELOR OF THE WAYNE!! ARE YOU INSANE?! SHOULD I PUT YOU IN ARKHAM?!" Jazz shook him and Valerie laughed as she calmed Jazz Down. "Calm down Hun, he might not make it until Vlad wakes up, let Vlad do the hitting once the old man wakes up." Jazz sighed at the statement and nodded. "You'll be spared for today. But only because my Girlfriend told me to. capiche?" Jazz drops him. "Can I court him then?" Dante asks shamelessly earning him another sandal to the face on the floor as he laid there. "I'll take that as a Yes!" And Jazz just groaned and Valerie laughing as she led her out.

"Clockwork how did you court my father?" Dante sat up slowly facing Clockwork. "I fought him a lot physically? I do not know how mortals court each other but I seduced your father through sparring." Dante just stared at him and combed his hair. "... Sparring?..." Dante asks hesitantly and Clockwork nodded. "Perhaps ask Ember McLain or that Revenant friend of yours back in crime alley." Clockwork suggests. "Maybe tommorow... Or later this night when the kids are sleeping. Where's Nocturn?" Dante asks as he took off his corset waist coat. "He's with the children playing with them." Clockwork says as he followed Dante. "And Vlad?" Dante sighs in exhaustion. "Still resting and asleep ofcourse." Clockwork answers...

Yeah, Dante would've guessed so. It's been 8 months since the Man's been asleep... When will Vlad wake up? When will his Dad Wake up? Dante shook his head to drown away the negative thoughts and took a deep breathe before going to playroom to play with his kids. Right now his priority is Jazz and the Kids... His precious family.

[𝑾𝒂𝒚𝒏𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒓, 9:23 𝑷𝑴]

"Alfred, Father seems Constipated and... Out of touch with reality, is he possesed or...?" Damian motions his hands and slightly tilts his head in confusion. "Master Bruce is not Constipated but he is spacing out Master Damian, It seems that Master Bruce might have fallen for someone again." Alfred chuckled and Bruce just occasionally smirking then shaking his head trying to focus on his work and files. "Hmm.... Who is the person who has seduced my Father Alfred?" Damian whips his head and looked at Alfred who kept chuckling softly. "I heard from Master Bruce that the name of the Other Is Dante Jamie Masters, Master Damian." Alfred said softly, very pleased with Bruce's current state.

"I'll Tell Drake to do a background check on this... Dante." Damian fixes his clothes and walks out heading to the Batcave where Tim Basically Camps. "Drake." Damian says with a serious tone As he slowly walked towards Tim, "What do you want Demon Brat." Tim scowled. "Alfred has told me something Peculiar." Damian started and Tim looked at Damian Curiously and places his mug down. "And what's that?" Tim smirks.

"Father as Alfred Says has fallen... In love... In the early stages of being smitten with someone." Damian states and Tim looked back at the computer. "Name." He demanded

"Dante Jamie Masters. Look up everything about him." Damian demands and Tim complied only out of pure curiousity with a smirk plastered on his face. "Uhm what are you two doing... And why is there a silent truce here?" Dick Grayson asks behind them and Damian looks at him, "Father is in the process of being smitten with someone, specifically a Man." Damian states once again. "... Translation?" Dick asks and Tim sighs "What the Demon Spawn means is that Bruce is falling Inlove with Someone, that's also a man, which is new, since I mean... Selina and Talia— but yes." Tim states as both turned back to the screen.

"Wait wait wait? B? As in Playboy B persona? Or?" Dick asks again trying to process this information. "No. Not the persona this time. Like the actual Bruce. We'll check if he's a clone later." Tim states. "Dante Jamie Masters, Adopted by Vlad Masters when he was 7 years old... Odd the timelines match but there's something weird about it." Tim stared at the screen. "Some text are green. Like. Lazarus Gree—" Tim was cut off by the Burner Computer suddenly shutting down. "What—" Tim tried to power it on again but all it does is show a Lazarus Green Screen. "Alright what the fuck—" Tim was cut off again by Lines Typing itself on the screen and he raised his hands up.

"ץØย'я𝑒 Ø𝐍𝑒 Øⓕ 𝐓𝓱𝑒м.... ץØย'я𝑒 𝐍Ø𝐓 𝐚ᒪᒪØ𝔀𝑒𝓭 𝐓Ø 丂𝑒𝑒 卩𝐚丂𝐓 𝐍Ø𝔀."

"Drake this isn't a prank correct?" Damian squints and throws a glare at Tim and he denied and shook his head, "Uh No Demon Brat, this isn't my doing. Neither would it be steph, she'd make it "preppy" as that woman likes to call it." Tim rolls his eyes and the Computer's System quite literally burst. "Oh. What in the Technological Supernatural Shit just happene—" Tim AGAIN was cut off now by Dick Pulling the two away from the burner laptop and taking them upstairs, "nope. We don't deal with the supernatural kids. That's not our job, that's the JLD and I don't think I can deal with ghosts or something today, neither would I want an eldritch monster, good thing it's just technological right? Yeah yeah— but nope we're leaving that alone." Dick sputtered, "Unhand me Richard! This is utterly despicable and Unmannered of you!" Damian complained.

"Yeah! what the gremlin said!" Tim says as Dick finally let's them go as soon as he assured that they were far from the Batcave entrance. "I'm gonna Call B for that." Dick walked away. "Utterly despicable." Damian huffs as he fixed his hair and clothes again. "Ugh... My thermos is still down there... Whatever he says or asks do not tell him I'm back down there." Tim groans and stretches his slumped back up straight and heading back to the Batcave. Damian sighed in annoyance and checked a mirror if his hair was messed up but fortunately it was not.

Hopefully that Green Screen literally doesn't mess up anything other than Tim Drake's Burner Laptop. Maybe he'll inform Father later when he asks but until then he needs to finish his schoolwork. Damian heads back to his bedroom but felt a chill in his spine creeping. He whips his head around frantically for a moment before standing still hearing for any movements. He didn't hear anything else but a slight paranoia catching up to him as he enters his bedroom and locks the door firmly.

What was that chill? Please let it just be the wind and not something.. supernatural. Dami wouldn't like to be involved in something such as the Unnatural Line Between Life and Death just like the Lazarus Pits. He doesn't want to be involved for now. His gut feeling is telling him not to get involved.

It’s time for Part 4 of “I hate the fucking anime adaption so fucking much”. Part 3 is here.

I'm late giving my thoughts on this. Ikuto looks awful as usual, partly because of the usual bullshit from this character designer, and partly because the anime never drew him properly to begin with. Why the fuck are his clothes so tight and small?! Reminds me of the awful Black Diamond cover art. Why the anime is incessant in constantly making him buff and giving him manboobs is beyond me. It's dreadful and ugly. They didn't read the manga at all. He's actually pretty skinny.

I hate how Kairi looks too. Ugh, they all just look so out of character...

I never did post about this, because it's not like it actually confirmed that something SC! related was coming, but Satelight is going to be celebrating their 30th anniversary in May 2025. Peach-Pit retweeted it, and that did make me a little suspicious...

What stuck out to me about this image was actually the fact that a very popular anime was missing from this - Fairy Tail.

Satelight was involved with just the first season of Fairy Tail. The fact that it's not featured in any way here means they don't have the rights to it anymore. Using this logic, this means that Satelight still (unfortunately) has the rights to SC!. That, coupled with the fact that they keep asking this character designer to make new artwork, makes me fucking sick.

I want a faithful anime reboot so badly. The only way I would be okay with Satelight still having their hands on this is if every single staff member is replaced (especially the character designer). Get all the voice actors back though, at least all the Guardians and Easter. It just wouldn't be the same without them. Nobuko Saeki would need a new voice actor though, because her voice actor sadly passed last year.

Can we please get Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai shiteita's staff to work on a SC! reboot? Because this interview really made me respect the way they treated this anime adaption. Some quotes, using Google translate (so the quality is questionable):

--What gave you the push you needed to decide to participate? Ayana: When I met with the director and producer, I asked them, "Who is this anime aimed at?" They told me that they wanted to make it for women who like magical girls. I've always loved Cardcaptor Sakura and Ojamajo Doremi, so I thought that was a good idea.

--Apart from the visual effects, one of the charms of anime is being able to hear the voices, and the cast this time is the same as the drama CD. Ayana: I also wanted that to be the case from the beginning. This title was chosen because I had always wanted to turn Fujiwara-sensei's work into an anime, and the main premise was that I wanted to deliver it to the manga's fans in a meaningful way. The cast members of the existing drama CD are people who Fujiwara-sensei approved, so I thought it would be best to leave it as it is. Also, I really liked the ending. When I heard the duet between the two of them, I thought it was especially good that they were chosen.

--Ayana, please tell us about your policy when working on a work based on an original source. Ayana: First of all, it's important to protect the worldview. And what I always think about is making the author happy. This time, I thought about how Fujiwara-sensei would draw it, and I listened carefully to the opinions of the manga's editors and people who are fans of the work.

God, they treated this anime with such love and care. These are the people I want handling a SC! reboot! They know what they're doing! The character designs were beautiful. They brought back all the voice actors from the drama CD because Cocoa Fujiwara choose them and they wanted to respect her wishes. I wish Bones would just take the rights to SC!, I like them more...

So I started Danganronpa V3 here are my thoughts so far

Kaede is so clearly gay like what the fuck she immediately hits on every other girl as soon as she meets them

Shuichi had manboobs before they changed his clothes and then he didn’t have manboobs anymore give them back. Also I bet his hat is musty as fuck

Met god, she’s Miu. Also me. She’s me.

Rantitty 100% knows what the fuck is going on also Johnny Yong Bosch my beloved

Himiko is my fucking queen she is a MAGE put some respect on her name

Kaito annoys me he talks so much shit and doesn’t do anything. “Where my hug at” headass

Where’s Keebo’s robohole I’m gonna find it

I wouldn’t trust Kokichi to be the manager at a Taco Bell much less a supreme leader of a fuckin organization. He looks so crusty it’s insane

Gonta can do nothing wrong he’s a king and I love him but the way he speaks is already annoying the shit out of me. Also he would hate me in real life because I cannot stand bugs

Fully expected Ryoma to pimp slap Kaede and was extremely disappointed when he didn’t

Tenko is fucking hilarious to me love that bitch

Goth maid is hot and unfortunately not an international terrorist

Rantaro’s probably an international terrorist though

Tsumugi was boring not much else to say. Big boobs though so at least she’s got that going for her

Maki looks like she could kill me and I would thank her for it. Also what fucking lab would they give her?? Would they just throw some random ass kids in there??

If I forgot anyone too bad

#also I will get back to answering the fighting asks I swear #I just got A LOT and it was kinda overwhelming so I took a break #uselesslesbiab plays danganronpa #and gets a new kin

Warning: there is swearing. Leah has got no chill lmao

⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

Tibia Cactus

Do you know that feeling when you are just flirting with someone because you are bored and then that person actually thinks you are interested in them and then you are just like, 'why the fuck did you do that?'

That exactly summarised Leah's situation.

She knows she went out with Tobias to get a rise out of Ethan, to push him and encourage him to finally ask her out. And it worked perfectly fine. They were together and Tobias got punched in his face.

Two birds, one stone.

But somehow, Tobias Carrick still didn't get the memo.

"Hey, Leah." Tobias spoke in a smoldering voice during the break in the softball game. She had been avoiding him all the time by sticking to Ethan's side.

"It's Dr. Garcia to you." She said as she opened the chilled beer and took a big gulp.

"I thought we were on first name basis."

"But not now. I'm with Ethan and honestly, I don't like you.. you are an entitled jackass." She shrugged.

He chuckled. "It's okay. People make mistakes all the time... But I won't mind you making those mistakes with me."

He just did not..

"Listen to me Carrick and listen to me good. I am trying my very best to not call you names but, if you cross the line again, I won't hesitate, bitch." She turned on her heels and started to walk away when he heard him taunt her.

"You are just like Ethan. Always running away on confrontat-"

Leah turned around, anger evident in her eyes. "You are an uncultured swine! There I said it!"

Saying that she went to the outfield.

😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

"We need one more run and then we will win." Landry said, giddily.

"Shut the fuck up dirty laundry. Nobody asked you. Go LEAH! MESS THEM UP!" Jackie hollered from the stands which made him shrink and Leah smirk.

"You CAN DO IT LEAH!! I'M ROOTING FOR YOU!" Rafael shouted.

"ANNIHILATE THEM!!" Ines said in such a cold voice that Zaid had to double take if it was her who said it. "Whoa I'm sorry where did that come from?" She said, shocked with herself.

Leah took her position, signalling the pitcher she was ready. He threw the ball her way and she hit it with all her might. The ball soared and she took off.

"HERE!! I'm free." Landry shouted from the base plate.

Oh no you don't.

Leah subtly tripped him that it seemed like he lost balance. Leah smirked internally as she triumphantly landed on the base plate.

"Edenbrook wi-" the umpire started before being interrupted.

"The hell it does. That's cheating." Dr. Asshole with the manbun said as he stomped towards Leah. He grabbed her by the arm and she yelped because of the grip.

Ethan immediately saw red.

Like the calm before the storm, Ethan spoke in a very cold voice that could have frozen hell. "I'm going to tell you once and only once to step away from my girlfriend, you son of a bitch."

"Or what, Ramsey? I'm not some pharma exec you can slug in the face." The Kenmore doctor instigated Ethan.

"Don't fucking talk about him like that." Leah said as she towered over the puny man.

Tobias chuckled. "Typical Ethan. Makes threats which he doesn't follow through and is such a pussy that he hides behind h-"

"CHINGA MADRE!!" Leah cursed loudly before she tackled Tobias.

"Oompf!" Tobias said as they both fell onto the dirt.

"How you fucking dare say that about my boyfriend, you asinine manboob?!" Leah said as she gathered his collar in one hand and lifted her other hand to punch him.

Tobias chucked. "It's not like you are gonna hi-"

Leah punched his so hard that you could hear the crack of his nose throughout the stadium.

"I'm LEAH MOTHERFUCKIN GARCIA! My dad is an ex-Marine so try again BITCH." She lifted and punched him again.

She was about to go again when she was lifted up from on top of him and restrained by Ethan.

"Let me go, ETHAN! TOBIAS, Ethan is thousand times the man you will ever be you miserable TIT!"

"Oh my god! The girls are fighting." Bryce exclaimed. He was immediately shushed by Sienna.

Leah was still struggling to break free but Ethan held her with an iron grip. "Sunshine, as much as I am turned on by you beating the shit out of him, you need to calm down, okay?" Ethan's deep baritone voice whispered into her ears as he turned her by the shoulders and pushed her towards the bench, to put an ice pack on her busted knuckles.

"I can finally understand why you call him your arch-nemesis...What. A. Dick." Leah hissed as she sat down.

Ethan chuckled and cupped her cheek. "Glad you are on board with me, sunshine. I would definitely not want to be on the opposite team right now."

Leah giggled and kissed his forehead, slowly calming down.

"You should be scared. But I love you so you don't need to be afraid."

"I love you too sunshine. I'm so damn lucky to be yours." Ethan said as he kissed her busted knuckles.

👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

I'm sorry if the title is awful LMAO 😂 it's harder to come up with titles than the actual fic😭

Galactica, part 250

Thank you to everyone who has been so patient and lovely during the hiatus!

We’re back, special guests are picked up from the airport, the last preparations are happening and everyone are making their way to the hotel for a weekend of love!

Thank you to @samrull @toriibelledarling and @veronicasanders <3!

Raven was so excited to see her all of her brothers again, it had been years since the Petruschin’s were together all under one roof. She slid her sunglasses on, so she would be able to walk through the terminal unrecognized and unbothered. As much as she loved being the center of attention, right now, she just wanted to get to her family and get out of the packed airport. Who was so old fashioned that they actually wanted to be picked up at the airport? What else was private drivers for? /Where is that girl,/ an older woman murmured in Russian as she held the arm of her oldest son, David. /Did you let her know we are here?/ David sighed deeply before looking down on his mother with a smile, /I spoke with Raja and she said that they are here and Snezhana's already inside./ He answered in Russian, while craning his neck to try and scan the crowds for his sister. /Is that my little sweet bean!?/ Raven squealed as she spied her baby niece in her sister in laws arms. /Is that my baby Hana?/ Raven scooped the little girl out of her mother's arms and into her own, kissing her cheeks causing the child to shriek in delight. /Hello my darling!/

/Hello Snezhana./ Raven froze before turning her head to look at her mother; she hadn't seen the woman in over 7 years but it didn't look as if a day passed. Her mother, Valentina, was a stunning woman, and it was clear where Raven inherited he beauty from. Valentina's long black hair was in a top bun with a slight winged liner around her grey eyes, red lipstick on her full lips and light pink blush on her creamy tanned skin. She still had an air of superiority about her and coldness that she could still feel even if they were thousands of miles away. Valentina was as beautiful, as she was cold, and Raven could see her future in her mother's cool gaze. /Hello mother,/ Raven greeted with a slight nod. It still wasn't too late to elope in Vegas.

“Oh fuck it’s good to be home!” Pearl didn’t even slam the door behind her before she started stripping out of her clothes, dropping the pants her mom had gotten her for christmas as fast as she could.

“Pearl!”

“What?” Pearl looked over her shoulder to see Laila who was rolling her eyes, though there was a small smile playing on her lips. “I’m just getting comfortable.” Pearl pulled her sweater over her head, the itchy thing once again something her mother had chosen, her underwear thankfully still her own.

“Too comfortable.” Laila closed the door. “Remember the lecture Trixie gave you-”

“Us.”

“You, before we left. No boobs of any kind, even manboobs, in the main areas of the house.”

“Yada yada yada.” Pearl walked over to Laila, making a little puppet with her hand as her girlfriend talked. “You sound like my mother.”

“Don’t ever say anything like that again.”

Pearl wrapped her arms around Laila, the woman just the perfect height for Pearl. “If you’re going to scold me, at least spank me at the same time.” Laila’s eyes darkened, and Pearl felt a rush of desire go through her body, her knees almost bending as Laila grabbed a handful of her ass, squeezing the flesh tight.

“Be careful what you wish for.”

“Violet, come on, we have to leave.” Sutan pushed the door to his study open, the space slowly morphing into Violet’s work room. Raja and Raven were in the airport picking up Raven’s family, and it wouldn’t be long before Indonesian relatives he hadn’t seen in years would start to show up too. Sutan dreaded it slightly, but this time, everything would be different since he had Violet by his side. She was a foreigner, a bule as his aunts would call her, and he could already hear their snicker at the fact that they weren’t married, and that she was so young, but he didn’t care. His aunts had traveled to New York anyway, and Raja’s marriage would be the main topic of gossip during the entire ordeal Raven had put together anyway. He had gotten calls from people he hadn’t worked with in ages, and emails from complete strangers, all asking him if he could get them into his sister’s wedding,

“Violet?”

Violet didn’t even looked up, the woman completely caught up in the piece of paper in front of her. Sutan stepped closer, fully expecting it to be another fashion sketch, the man already dreading having to pull Violet out of one of her creative modes, as she could often disappear mentally for days if she got the right idea, when he realized that it was a speech.

Sutan put a hand on Violet’s shoulder. “Babe?”

“Ah!” Violet jumped with fright, her eyes wide. “Oh my god- Sutan! You scared me-”

“I’m sorry.” Sutan said, his hand still on Violet’s shoulder. “What are you working on?” They were still busy, but all of a sudden it didn’t seem as important anymore.

“Nothing..”

“You’re ignoring me for nothing? Ouch.” He smiled, and he felt Violet relax, his girlfriend leaning slightly against him.

“You’re such a child sometimes.” Violet reached up, gently placing her hand on top of Sutan’s. She was wearing a soft grey sweater that was too big for her, and Sutan quickly calculated the time it would take Violet to get ready, since he knew there was no way she would ever leave the house in any of his clothes. He had tried to talk her into going christmas shopping together for winter clothes, but Violet had just laughed and stolen yet another one of his sweaters, not that he minded of all when she looked so fucking good in the oversized clothes.

“So you are ignoring me for something?” Sutan smiled, gently teasing Violet.

“Don’t be stupid.”

“It looks like something.” Sutan reached out with his free hand, ready to take the paper and read it, when Violet stopped him, his girlfriend looking up at him.

“What? Is it a secret?

“Don’t worry about it, okay?

Sutan knew he could press, knew he probably should, but what Violet wanted to tell him was her business, and not his. Sutan leaned down, their lips meeting in a kiss.

“Okay.”

Raven was, internally, screaming. She had been in the presence of her mother for less than an hour and she was ready to just reach around and ---- /Snezhana, how has the wedding planning been going?/ Valentina asked with a purr as she lit a cigarette, while her elder son's David and Nikolai loaded the back of the taxi’s with their things, Valentina not trusting the driver in the least. /It has been such a well kept, yet blatant, secret that even your poor mother doesn't know. Why is that?/ /Where is father and grandmother?/ Raven knew she should properly tell her mother, but she really didn’t want to as she could already hear the criticism of every little detail in her head. Valentina flicked the ashes from her cigarette casually as she wrapped her fur stole around her, people walking past looking at her as if she was insane being outside without a coat. She was Russian, she didn't get cold; she was cold. /Their flight was delayed,/ Valentina replied, exhaling a cloud of smoke. /They will be here tomorrow afternoon with Abram./ /I see.../ Raven replied, pursing her lips at the unexpected delay as she watched Raja walk towards them holding her niece. "I'm sorry to intrude on your needed cigarette Valentina," Raja began, "but we're ready to leave. I checked with the hotel and your rooms are ready."

Raven smiled, her darling Raja always on top of everything.

"So would you like to go to the hotel or would you all like to have dinner first then check into the hotel?" "I would like to get some dinner before we head back to the hotel," David said. "Airplane food is shit and I need something American, that's covered in grease, cheese and bacon." "So a pizza?" Astrid asked, giving her daughter, her pacifier so she wouldn't fuss. "Oh I haven't had authentic NY style pizza in years," Nikolai said, drooling slightly. "Is there a pizza place nearby because I could eat a whole one by myself." Raven giggled, "You and me both Niko, a jumbo pepperoni pizza with extra cheese and anchovies." The bride to be said with a wistful sigh at the thought of that gooey, hot cheese and thin crust. /Do you think it's smart to eat that Snezhana? You still need to be able to fit in your dress./ Valentina countered evenly, looking out the window with a bored expression. /The last thing you need is to not be able to fit your gown because you gained unexpected weight./ Raja could see Raven's hand begin to shake as she listened to her mother speak, and even though she didn’t understand russian, she didn’t need to to be able to understand Ravn. As much as Raja had tried and tried to get Raven to open up to her about her relationship with her parents; she had never shared much. The elder model laid warm a hand over Raven's, stroking her knuckles softly. "I think a pizza party would be a great idea," Raja said kindly. "This is exactly why I like you Raja," David began, "You get it, sometimes all you really want is a slice of pizza and some vodka on a snowy night. You get my vote" "Your fiancée is so thoughtful Raven," Astrid said, placing a hand on Raven's shoulder from behind her. "Yes," Raven replied, "she's the best."

“Do we have everything?”

“Yes dear.”

“But what about the Givenchy? I’ll just double check.”

“Fame, you have four suitcases. I’m sure you have everything you need,” Patrick smiled as Fame asked him, for the millionth time, if they had packed everything for what would without a doubt be the spectacle of the year. “And if not, we can get it by car.”

“I know, I know, I just want everything to be perfect.”

“Of course darling.”

Raja had, in true Amrull style, rented out an entire floor of the wedding hotel for what Raven considered ‘the closest family’, which meant that it was expected of him and Fame to stay there the entire time, even though they had just gotten back from Puerto Rico. It was typical of both Raja and Raven to completely ignore that Patrick would be working, but that was the prize of being married to the fashion world, somehow the ladies in his life never really seemed like they actually worked, even though he knew better.

“Thank you.” Fame kissed Patrick, the gentle touch of his wife’s lips against his filling him with warmth, before they stepped out in the cold december winter to join their friends.

***

"I can’t believe the wedding is like.. Happening, like, finally happening.” Raven said as she sank into her seat, her family finally checked in and gone. "I can feel the grey hairs coming, and that’s not a cute look.”

“Ouch.”

“On me, it’s not cute on me.” Raja chuckled softly as she drove their car through snowy New York, the entire trunk filled with Raven’s things. "Should I call the hairdresser? The hair sounds like a very serious issue.” Raven poked her lips out, clearly not thrilled at being teased by her soon to be wife. "RaRa I'm being serious, it's not too late to call it off and elope in Vegas like all the cool kids." Raven sighed and crossed her arms. Everyone and their mother would arrive in the morning, and she honestly didn’t know if she was ready to face the family and friends they had invited for the rehearsal dinner, though it was mainly the family she wasn’t ready to see. “Everything will be allright.”

Raven turned to look at Raja. “Do you promise?”

Raja smiled. “I promise.”

How to stop screwing yourself over | Mel Robbins | TEDxSF

New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/how-to-stop-screwing-yourself-over-mel-robbins-tedxsf-8/

How to stop screwing yourself over | Mel Robbins | TEDxSF

Translator: Judith Matz Reviewer: Tatjana Jevdjic higher welcome! Good day, San Francisco! TEDx oh my God, blinding gentle! Hello, every person! How are you? (audience cheering) satisfactory?! Oh my gosh! Ok, so… My name is Mel Robbins, and for the final seventeen years, i’ve done nothing but help persons get everything that they need. Within cause! My husband’s here. So, I’ve finished it in the court, within the boardroom, in the bed room, in humans’s residing room, anything room you want to be in, if i am there, i will help you get whatever you need by any means imperative. For the final three years I host a syndicated radio exhibit. 5 days every week, i’m going reside in forty cities and that i talk to guys and women throughout the usa who suppose stuck.Have you learnt that a third of usa citizens feel disenchanted with their lives right now? That may be a hundred million people! That’s insane! And i have come nose to nose with it on this new show that i’m doing, which can also be insane, it is known as "In-laws". I transfer in with households across america (Laughter) You guessed it! Who’re at conflict with their in-laws. We move them into the same house, I verbally assassinate everybody, we open up Pandora’s field, and that i get humans to discontinue arguing about the donuts and who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner, and talk about the true stuff.And that’s what I need to speak to you about. I am here for you. I’m going to tell you everything i know in not up to eighteen minutes about get what you wish to have. So i want you to take a millisecond proper now and think about what you need. You! And i need you to be egocentric. Screw Simon and the "We" thing. That is about me, right now! (Laughter) (Applause) Sorry, Simon. What do you wish to have? And this is the deal. I don’t need it to sound just right to other people. Being healthful won’t get your ass on a treadmill. Dropping your manboobs, so you can connect with anyone, now that’s motivation. (Laughter) So, I wish to be aware of: What do you want? Do you wish to have to drop a few pounds? Do you need to triple your income? Do you want to start a nonprofit? Do you want to seek out love? What is it? Get it, right here.You know what it is, do not analyze it to death, just decide on some thing. That is a part of the problem. You will not decide on. So, we will be talking about how you get what you wish to have. And albeit, getting what you want is modest. But observe I didn’t say it used to be effortless. It can be very simple. In fact, when you suppose about it, we are living in probably the most robust moment in time. So that factor that you’ve up right here, some thing it may be, you want to make use of healthful eating to therapy your diabetes, you wish to have to determine how one can take care of the elders and a brand new hospice middle, you want to move to Africa and construct a college… Guess what? That you can walk right into a publication retailer right now! And buy as a minimum ten books written by means of credentialed professionals on how the hell you do it. You would Google it. And you might normally to find as a minimum, I have no idea – a thousand blogs documenting the step, through step, by step transformation that anyone else is already doing. You will see that any person online and cyber-stalk them! (Laughter) that you would be able to just stroll of their footsteps simply use the science of drafting.Follow what everybody else has done, considering an individual is already doing it! So why do not you have what you wish to have, if you have all the information that you simply want, you have the contacts that you just need, there are normally free instruments on-line that permit you to start a industry, or become a member of a bunch, or do whatever the heck you need!? It all comes down to 1 word: F*#. Shut the front door, you realize what i am talking about? The f-bomb. It’s all over the place! You hear it at all times! I truthfully don’t realize what the attraction is of the phrase. I mean, you don’t sound wise when you say it. And it is relatively not expressing how you rather feel.It is style of a cheap shot to take. And of path you understand i am speaking about the word "exceptional". "how you doing?" "Oh, i am satisfactory." Oh, quite? You might be? Dragging round those further forty pounds, you are pleasant? Feeling like roommates together with your spouse, and you’re satisfactory? You haven’t had sex in 4 months, you’re pleasant? Relatively?! I do not think so! But see, this is the deal with announcing that you are pleasant: it is definitely genius. Since if you’re excellent, you don’t must do anything about it. However while you believe about this phrase "pleasant", it simply makes me so irritated.Right here we’re at a conference about being alive and you’re going to describe the experience of being alive as "pleasant"?! What a flimsy and feeble word! If you are crappy, say you are crappy! If you’re strong say you’re effective! Tell the truth! And this not handiest goes for the social construct: "Oh, i do not wish to burden you with the fact that I hate my life", or: "good day, i am amazing! But that may make you think horrible." The higher trouble The larger difficulty with "excellent" is that you simply say it to your self.That factor that you need, I guarantee you, you’ve gotten convinced yourself that you’re first-class not having it. That’s why you are no longer pushing yourself. It’s the areas in your existence where you might have given up. The place you’ve gotten stated, "Oh, i’m fine. My mom’s certainly not going to change, so I simply are not able to have that conversation." "i’m exceptional. We have got to wait except the youngsters graduate, before we get divorced, so we are going to simply sleep in separate bedrooms." "i am excellent. I misplaced my job, i can barely pay my costs, but anything it’s rough to get a job." one of the crucial reasons why this phrase also just annoys me a lot is, scientists have calculated Oh yeah, i’m coming down! (Laughter) Scientists have calculated the percentages of you being born.That’s right. They’ve crunched the numbers. I see you up there. They’ve crunched the numbers on you Yeah, you guys standing up, you need to sit down for this. They’ve crunched the numbers on you being born. They usually took under consideration all the wars, and the natural mess ups, and the dinosaurs, and everything else. And do you realise that the odds, the odds of you, yeah, correct here, put your pc away, get up for me, Doug! (Laughter) So the odds of Doug here, turn round, say "hello" to every person the odds of Doug being born on the moment in time he was once born, to the mother and father you have been born to, with the DNA structure that you’ve got, one in 4 hundred trillion! Isn’t that mighty? Doug: i’m so fortunate! Mel: yes! You are now not nice, you’re super! You may have life-altering suggestions for a reason, and it’s to not torture yourself. Thanks. Thanks, Doug. (Applause) Christine was once correct when she said all of you could be on stage. In view that all of you we’re all on this class. One in four hundred trillion. All day long you have got strategies that might alternate your existence, that would exchange the world, that would change the way in which that you just feel, and what do you do with them? Nothing! (Grunts) hopefully I won’t moon you. (Laughter) You failed to pay for that. (Laughter) And i want you to just feel for a minute, considering all of us have i love to use the analogy "the internal snooze button" you’ve these amazing suggestions that bubble up.You have been watching individuals all day and i warranty you, like ping pong balls bam-bam-bam and everytime you’ve an concept, what do you do? Hit the snooze! What is the first decision you made this morning? I bet it used to be to return to mattress. "Yeah, first determination at present, i am one in four hundred trillion, i’m going to go back to sleep." and that i get it! Your mattress is relaxed! It is cosy, it is warm! If you’re lucky, you will have obtained anyone that you just love next to you, or in my case, I’ve received my husband and my two youngsters and in all probability the dog. And the reason why i am bringing up this first determination that you made in these days, and the interior snooze alarm, is when you consider that in any field of your life that you wish to have to alter, any there may be one truth that you simply ought to understand.This one: you might be under no circumstances going to feel love it. Ever. Nobody’s coming, motivation is not taking place, you’re in no way going to feel love it. Scientists name it activation vigor. That’s what they name the drive required to get you to vary from what you’re doing on autopilot to do something new. So try this test tomorrow. You think you are so fancy, i know, you’re attending TED. (Laughter) do that. Tomorrow morning, set your alarm for thirty minutes earlier. And then when it goes off, take those sheets, throw them off, and stand up and your day. No snooze, no lengthen, no, "i will just wait right here for 5 seconds since Mel’s now not standing here" Do it.And the cause why i need you to do it is considering you will come face to face with the bodily, and that i mean bodily drive that is required to change your habits. Do you consider that somebody who wishes to lose weight ever appears like happening a weight-reduction plan? Of course now not! You think they ever think like eating boiled bird and peas rather of a croissant? I do not believe so! The activation vigor required to get your ass away out of your computer and out the entrance door, to head on the walk, you mentioned that you just were going to head on, is the detailed same quantity of force that it takes you to push your self out of a heat bed and into a bloodless room. What’s fascinating about being an grownup is that while you end up eighteen, nobody tells you that it’s now going to be your job to parent yourself. And by "mother or father yourself", I imply it can be your job to make your self do the crap you do not need to do, so that you would be able to be the whole lot that you’re imagined to be.And you are so damn busy ready to feel adore it. And you’re under no circumstances going to! My son under no circumstances feels like getting off his DS. That is my job! Get off the rattling DS! Kendall, easy up the Barbies! If you’re going to have a nude occasion in my bathroom, as a minimum easy it up! (Laughter) God, chunk with your mouth closed! We’re now not a barn, for crying out loud! Alright, dinner is coming, get out of the pantry. As dad and mom, and you had been a kid, your parents make you do the matters you do not consider like doing. Given that you will not. Ever. No longer now, now not then, no longer ever! And even while you get excellent at anything, you can work out anything else you do not need to do. And then you’ll be able to plateau out, become bored, "I hate this job. Blah blah boring." but will you seem for a new one? No! You can simply bitch about that one. It is very, very simple to get what you wish to have. Nevertheless it’s not convenient. You need to drive your self. And i imply force. And the motive why i use the phrase "force" when Roz was up right here and talking concerning the emotion tracking, and she or he had the image of two sides of the mind I seem on the mind the distinct identical means.Only I describe one part of your mind as autopilot and the other aspect as emergency brake. That is the one two speeds you get: autopilot, emergency brake. And bet which one your brain likes better: autopilot. You’ve gotten had the expertise where you have driven to work and you get there and you are like, "Oh my God, i do not do not forget ever riding here." (Laughter) you weren’t under the influence of alcohol! That was your mind on autopilot. It was functioning just at this degree. And the problem along with your mind is that anytime you do whatever that is one-of-a-kind from your usual movements, bet what your mind does emergency brake! And it has that reaction for the whole thing. Everything! You walk into the kitchen and notice every body’s left their breakfast dishes for you. And also you suppose for the hundredth time, "i will kill them. Actually i am gonna go away it right here and i’m going to make them do it." but that is no longer your ordinary activities, is it? So your intellect goes: emergency brake! And you go right into autopilot."i’ll just load it, and be pissed, after which not have sex. That’s what i’ll do." (Laughter) (Applause) So, after I say "drive", some thing that is a wreck from your movements is going to require force. And for those who consider about your life, it’s style of funny given that we are children after which we end up adults, and we spend so much time trying to push our lifestyles into some kind of steady routine, and then we develop bored of it! You get up whilst daily, you will have largely the equal breakfast, you pressure to work the equal method, show up at work, appear busy, hinder making calls, update fb, you attend a assembly and doodle the entire time, go back and update facebook, make plans for the evening, you seem busy some more, then pressure house the identical means, you eat largely the same dinner or a style of it, you watch the equal form of media, and then you go to mattress, and do the identical factor far and wide once more! No wonder you are bored out of your mind! It can be the hobbies that’s killing you. I’ve this idea about why humans get caught in life.So, most of you might have in general taken your normal Psych a hundred and one class, and you could have ran into Abraham Maslow’s "Hierarchy of wants"? Good, your body is kinda cool. On the grounds that you will have these general wants. And your physique is wired to send you indicators. If you would like meals, what do you feel? If you need water, what do you suppose? If you want sex, what do you believe? (Laughter) thanks. I believe when you consider stuck or disappointed on your life, it can be a sign. And it is now not a sign that your life is damaged. It is a sign that one among your most basic desires usually are not being met. Your need for exploration. Everything about your life, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate, your hair, your nails, the whole thing grows for your whole existence. And your soul needs exploration and development. And the one approach you’ll get it’s with the aid of forcing yourself to be uncomfortable.Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head. Thank you. If you’re on your head, you are at the back of enemy traces. That isn’t God speaking, okay? It is not! In fact, if I put a speaker on it and we broadcast what you say to yourself, we’d institutionalize you. (Laughter) you wouldn’t hang around with men and women that talk to you the way you speak to your self. So get out of your head! Your emotions! Your emotions are screwing you! I do not care how you consider! I care about what you want! And if you listen to the way you believe, relating to what you wish to have you will now not get it.Since you are going to under no circumstances think adore it. And also you need to get external your relief zone. It’s not about taking risks, it is about getting external your relief zone. These first three seconds when you push your self out of bed, they blow. But as soon as you’re up, it can be satisfactory. These first three seconds when you are sitting here in a stadium like this and an individual says, "rise up and are available dance," and also you suppose, "Oh, I must do this," and then you’re like, "Uhmm." that experience that you just had while you had the impulse to do it and then you did not do the activation vigor required to force your self, your emergency brake received pulled "i’m sitting correct right here. I’m no longer going up with those crazy folks, i do not like to dance…" What happened for me is I came up, and i ran into Rachel, after which we began speaking, and subsequent factor you recognize, she’s tweeting. And we’re associates. And increase! Get external. That’s the place the magic is. That is the place the one in 4 hundred trillion exists. So the whole thing I do oh, good enough, that is the final section.Sorry. So an extra factor that you need to use, I name it the 5-2d-rule. Your intellect can method a facial expression in 33 milliseconds. It might probably transfer beautiful rattling speedy. The other thing that it does very rapidly is if in case you have a kind of little impulses that are pulling you, when you don’t marry it with an action within 5 seconds, you pull the emergency brake and kill the proposal. Kill it! In case you have the impulse to get up and are available dance even as the band is taking part in, when you don’t stand up in five seconds, you’re going to drag the emergency brake. If in case you have an impulse about, you had been inspired by a person’s speech in these days, and you don’t do something within 5 seconds write a be aware, ship your self a text anything bodily to marry it with the concept, you will pull the emergency brake and kill the proposal.Your drawback is not strategies. Your situation is you do not act on them. You kill them. It can be no longer my fault. It is now not anyone’s fault. You’re doing it to your self. Discontinue it! I am reckoning on you. One in 4 hundred trillion. You acquired stuff to do! And it can be now not going to happen to your head. So i want you to practice this in these days. After we go off to party, thank God it can be coming quickly, for the reason that I believe we all might use a cocktail, i need you to apply the 5-2d-rule. You see someone and also you think you could have an impulse, they appear fascinating? Walk over there! You had been motivated through an individual and you have got a request? Make it! That is why you are here! Scan with it, and that i think you’ll be stunned about what happens. And one more thing, i need you to know that everything that I do, whether or not it is the radio exhibit, or the tv show, or the publication that I wrote, or the column, it is for you.And if there’s anything that i will be able to do, if i will do anything to make you do the matters you do not want to do, so that you could have what you want, i will do it. But you must stroll over, you ought to open your mouth, and also you have got to make the request. You bought it? Just right. Go do it. (Applause) thank you! Thank you, yes! Get up! You have got the impulse, arise! Thanks! .

King and Estarossa :D

Oh boi. My favourite character and the shitpost queen at the same time. Before I start, I’ll say that I can’t really take Esta that seriously, so there. I’ll begin with him, so Estarossa can get Estaroasted.

Why I like them: I liked him because he was the most mysterious TC when we first met them, as he was the one who had multiple appearances before (poster + Eli’s dream). He gave off this incredible aura, while being completely nonchalant. He was my number 1 (you had it all Esta!!). Then he got his ass handed to him, and I got into this fandom, and since then he’s become my victim for shitposts. I like to bully him a lot and like it when other people make fun of him (whelp). And on another serious note I like the fact that Mel’s betrayal did do something to him. He was such an innocent cutie when he was smol.

Why I don’t: His colour scheme is one of the most atrocious I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to emphatize with him, or truly care for him, because he’s such a nonchalant shet. He’s an attention whore: he always appears everywhere, in every conversation, in each nnt google search. He has the anatomy of Popeye (jk, but he’s terrible to draw).

Favorite scene: When he stopped Mel’s revenge counter, but it was probably him cheating with his commandment, so it will have to be him letting that bird explode. That was the epitome of his power.

Favorite line: ‘ESCAAA…NOOOOOOR!!!’ (Escanor: scream my name, bby)

Favorite outfit: When he secretly dresses up as David Bowie in the Labyrinth. When Escanor burned much of his clothes.

OTP: Escanor/Estarossa, Escarossa are my One True Crack Pairing. Make a shitpost/meme about them, and I will love you.

Brotp: He and Zeldris are still best bro’s.

Head Canon: He likes to show of his manboobs and gets excited when people look at them. Which is why he likes to make risque photos of himself in secret. In fact, he even has multiple albums filled with them.

Unpopular opinion: Every opinion that trashes Esta is true.

A wish: That he fights side by side with Escanor (the fandom will explode with shitposts, I swear). That he reconciles with Mel.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: That he dies.

5 words to best describe them: Nonchalant, shitty excuse for a brother, lazy, loving, sleepdeprived (just look at the bags under his eyes).

My nickname for them: Esta, Asstarossa, Moprossa, Manboobrossa, Shitpost Queen.

And now my precious smol anxiety bean:

Why I like them: Oh, where do I even start. The first thing I liked about him was that he was so sassy/snarky. It was cool that he was pretty much the straight man act of the Seven Deadly Sins at the beginning. Despite him being the Fairy King, so strong, serious etc. he was such a dork at the same time. When he started talking to Oslo about his crush on Diane, it really endeared me to him. But my most favourite thing is his selflessness. Later on when we learn about all the tragedies he has to had suffer through, and the fact that he still blames himself, breaks my heart. It overeats him, and he shouldn’t do it, but I admire him for taking responsibilty instead of blaming/hating someone else, and for the fact that he does admit to it when he’s wrong even though he’s stubborn (for example, in the past when he realizes that not all demons are bad, and that he gave Mel a hard time because he was biased). He’s just so many sides to him, to him being incredibly nice, to him being flawed (like running away when seeing Elaine’s body), and nevertheless it doesn’t throw his character off balance, but it makes him incredibly human. It makes him relateable, and that’s what makes him my favourite character from both a biased as well as objective standpoint.

Why I don’t: Sometimes the manga focuses too much on his dorky qualities, like as of late with the flashback. I really want to see more of his serious/sassy side again. The fact that he hesitates with certain things (like with his relationship with Diane) still frustrates me, though it doesn’t make me dislike/hate him.

Favorite scene: I like pretty much every scene with him, but the one that will always hold a place in my heart, was when he first fought against Guila, and dissed/rekt her hard. This one made me fall in love with the manga, even though I didn’t want to admit it (I was a real tsundere to the manga when I first read it).

Favorite line: ‘Why…can’t I ever…ever…protect… what matters most to me?’ (*heart breaks*)

Favorite outfit: When he wears no jacket, like in the spar against Ban in chapter 51 (I like his jacket, but it’s kind of kiddy, and don’t get me started on that helmet, sorry Helbram).

OTP: King x Diane, Kiane. The memories thing being abused sucks a lot, but they’re my no.1 pairing.

Brotp: He and Helbram have a great friendship. I also like to imagine that he and Gloxinia could be great friends, where Glox is kind of the annoying friend who always makes fun of him/trolls/teases him.

Head Canon: Since King’s great at sewing, he makes plushies both for children as well as for himself. The ones he made for himself, are of the people that are closest to him (Diane, Elaine and Helbram) and he treasures them a lot. He fantasizes sometimes about making ones for his children (with Diane) when he has them.

Unpopular opinion: A lot of people dislike King for being unreasonable to and not trusting Meliodas. I personally thought it was logical in that situation, especially with how Mel never tells them anything. It was rather a breath of fresh air in a manga where everyone is ‘supposed to go with the flow’ and ‘berief in their friends, because power of friendship!11!’. It gave depth to their relationship, instead of relying on the mere fact that Mel is the mc so he somehow has to be automatically trusted (and King has already admitted to himself that he was shallow).

A wish: For King to be happy. Nakaba really throws a lot of shit at him. So I want King and Diane to finally get together, and for him to show a scene where Elaine finally forgives her brother, so he can get his self-confidence back.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Nakaba throwing more bs at King. That he never does the things I wish/makes him happy, until at the very end of the manga or even never. That King will become a background character because he is not strong enough/can’t keep up (even with a power up).

5 words to best describe them: Protective, sassy, logical, lazy, dorky.

My nickname for them: Kingu-chan, smol anxiety bean (thanks to Trinity).

#nanatsu no taizai #nnt #seven deadly sins #ask meme #king #fairy king harlequin #estarossa #evka #my-secret-sketchpad #reply #ask #I'm slow like expected #bad at multitasking much #this is fairly long #but king is my fav chara so yeah #thanks for asking :')#I misinterpreted the unpopular opinion thing #again

golden goose already

There are numerous types of canes, walkers, and other assistive devices available golden goose already in the market today. If you're you need cane or walker, oneself physician and/or physical therapist to give you the product that is best for you.

Looking closely at individuals of sneaker s, these are many kind within your hybrid from your wedge heeled sandal which has a flat sport sneaker. It is a brilliant innovation a fashion world, right? These wedges already been criticized time and again again but the fact still remains which made (and are still making) a hefty hit on the list of fashionable bulk.

The question is raised your expert on the story, "Who is my neighbor?" Specialists are encouraging an age-old question reaching back to Genesis 4: 9 "Then the Lord said to Cain, 'Where is Abel your brother?' He said, 'I don't know; am I my brother's keeper.'" It seems that the church remains asking this query.

Carol Christine Fair: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Carol Christine Fair is a professor at Georgetown University. She has received backlash after posting on Twitter that Republican senators “deserve miserable deaths” for supporting Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Here’s what you need to know.

1. In Her Tweet, Professor Fair Accused GOP Senators of Being ‘Entitled’ & Said They Were Protecting an Accused Predator

Look at thus chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist's arrogated entitlement. All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes. https://t.co/tT7Igu157y

— (((Christine Fair))) (@CChristineFair) September 29, 2018

Dr. Christine Fair posted the tweet on Saturday, September 29. She was responding to a video of Senator Lindsey Graham’s tirade from September 27, when he supported Kavanaugh and called the situation an “unethical sham.”

Professor Fair’s response to watching that speech was this statement: “”Look at thus chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement. All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes.”

The post has been retweeted nearly 300 times and triggered more than 4,400 comments. Critics slammed Fair and questioned her role as an educator. Examples of such comments include:

Levi Russell wrote, “Can’t imagine how biased she is in the classroom.”

Lauren Brower commented, “Wow. Just wow! Your intolerance and lack of respect for the rule of law (innocent until proven guilty) is exactly why our country is so polarized. It would be hard to look at life the way you do. I wish you much therapy.

Cindy Abel wrote, “OMGOSH. I am so happy that my four children did not wind up in your classroom. I can’t imagine how one-sided your lectures are. And for the love of God, why are your tweets, which advocate violence, allowed?”

OMGOSH. I am so happy that my four children did not wind up in your classroom. I can’t imagine how one-sided your lectures are. And for the love of God, why are your tweets, which advocate violence, allowed?

— Cindy Abel (@cindy_abel) October 2, 2018

Professor Fair did write that does not advocate violence. Her messaging on October 1 included this tweet: “What you don’t want to admit is that I am not actually calling for violence. I am making a point about the routine violence perpetrated against women every day and the power structures that protect these perpetrators. Get over it.”

2. Carole Christine Fair Unleashed a Series of Tweets on October 1, Referring to GOP Senators as ‘Fragile Snowflakes’ & Pointing Out Examples of What She Called ‘White Male Privilege’

When white men face a room of female legislators concluding that we will not cover health care for their manboobs gone cancerous…let me know. In the mean time why are all of these white men so pissed off at an uppity woman? Fragile snowflakes?

— (((Christine Fair))) (@CChristineFair) October 2, 2018

Carole Christine Fair says she is not intimated by the backlash. She doubled down and expanded her argument in a tweetstorm on October 1. She wrote about the difference in power between men and women and listed multiple examples of she described as “white male privilege.”

The series of tweets began with, “When white men face a room of female legislators concluding that we will not cover health care for their manboobs gone cancerous…let me know. In the mean time why are all of these white men so pissed off at an uppity woman? Fragile snowflakes?”

When white men tell their harrowing stories of sexual assault by a woman to a congressional committee of women who are uninterested in the truth and want only to consolidate their nasty agenda on the Supreme Court and will post a predator to that post to do so…let me know.

— (((Christine Fair))) (@CChristineFair) October 2, 2018

“When white men tell their harrowing stories of sexual assault by a woman to a congressional committee of women who are uninterested in the truth and want only to consolidate their nasty agenda on the Supreme Court and will post a predator to that post to do so…let me know.”

Her follow-up tweets included: “When men are raped and then “slut shamed” for thier assault. Let me know.”

“When white men are systematically paid less, less likely to be hird, promoted and rewarded for the same productivity…let me know.”

“When men below the age of 44 are more likely to die from domestic homicide than cardiac arrest, let me know.”

“When a white male journalist is mocked by a female president (who sexually assaults men and reviles men who challenge her) who calls him stupid while a chorus of powerful women look on in amusement, let know.”

“AND as bad as white women have it, women of color, LGQBTQI, members of religious minorities (and any combination thereof) have it worse. I wil continue to point out the absurdity of white male privilege. So y’all better get some new diapers.”

3. Georgetown University Does Not Appear to Have Issued Any Public Comments About Professor Fair’s Tweets

— (((Christine Fair))) (@CChristineFair) October 2, 2018

As referenced above, Carol Fair is an associate professor at Georgetown University. The institution has not made any public statements about her messaging on social media.

Heavy reached out to Professor Fair and asked her about the reaction at Georgetown to her tweets. She referred to a senior colleague who recommended she moderate her language, but did not mention whether the university administrators have ever asked her to tone it down. She offered to answer follow-up inquiries via email. Check back for updates on that.

Since Professor Fair’s tweets on October 1 centered around women, we asked her what specifically she felt needed to change in American society. She responded in a series of tweets.

“In short, I don’t believe anything will change in any policy-relevant future. This regime is hell-bent upon disenfranchising women, POC, non-Christians, LGBTQI and empowering a larger role for corruption in our governance. Mark my words: we have passed a tipping point. This is only the beginning of fascism in America. And with the heinously partisan SCOTUS and federal judiciary, there will be no checks.

The non-democratic lineaments of our governance is becoming more so undemocratic. Slave State College empowers the shrinking most anachronous part of the electorate while undercounting the growing cosmopolitian coasts and cities who are the economic work horses of this country. A majority of the senate is elected by a minority. By 2040, demographic estimates suggest that about 2/3 of the senate will be elected by 1/3 of the (again, most illiberal section) electorate. Yet the Senate controls most powers that matter.

Other democracies have senates with equal representation of the federating units, but they have power. In the US, the most unrepresentative institution has the most power. The free and fairness of house races and state politics are undermined by gerrmandering, assortative decisions of like-minded people to live together in the same neighborhoods, racist voter restriction and denial regimes.

In short, anyone who thinks elections will sort this out are wrong. The United States has never been an actual democracy; rather an aspirational one. But for the first time in my lifetime, the GOP is seeking to consolidate authoritarianism because they can’t win in a fair fight. The entire point of this Fox News “white anger thug sourcing” is to threaten my physical and economic security. And they do this ON PURPOSE to silence people like me. But I’m a rhetorical insurgent: they need to silence me to win. I need only to refuse to shut up to win.

Happy to answer any other questions via email. Courage begets courage. Many victims will be silenced by Thursday’s theatre of white male privilege. I hope other victims are emboldened to stand up and call out the fuckery. We are many and we are going nowhere.”

4. Carol Fair Defended Her Language in a Blog Post, Writing ‘My Profanity is Sacred’

I will not use civil words to describe mass incivility. Don't expect me too. It's an absurd request. I will use words that make you as uncomfortable as I am with this regime.

— (((Christine Fair))) (@CChristineFair) October 2, 2018

Professor Fair has defended her choice of language. She wrote a blog on September 23, 2018, titled “On the Politics of Language and Women’s Rage and Why My Profanity is Sacred.”

She explained that a work colleague at one point recommended that she tone down the profane language. Fair described her colleague as “lovely and well-intended.” But she disagreed wholeheartedly. She wrote, “I will not discipline my voice, my words, or my body. I will refuse to conform to your rules which are designed to constrain me like a corset for your convenience and comfort. I will not respond to this war on women decorously. It’s an absurd request and I won’t entertain it. I will fight this war asymmetrically. I will use the vernacular it demands.”

Fair also responded to the fact that her tweets, especially recent ones slamming Brett Kavanaugh and GOP senators, attract a lot of backlash. She does not care. She points out that as someone who has faced truly dangerous situations in Afghanistan and Pakistan, she is not intimidated by words. “I have skin as thick as a T-Rex and I give NO FUCKS about their feelings. I cannot be intimidated. If I lose my job, I’ll do something else… Make no mistake. This is a deliberate attempt by these conservative dishrags to scare, intimidate, and ultimately shut up those of us who see through conservative lies, ruses, and efforts to disenfranchise women, people of color, LGBTQI, non-Christians and anyone else who destabilizes their infantile Leave It To Beaver fantasy.”

I will NOT moderate my rage for YOUR convenience. As a VICTIM of assault..I along with millions of women…watch white males gather around a belligerent predator defending his and their privilege. I WILL use words that will make you as I uncomfortable as I am.

— (((Christine Fair))) (@CChristineFair) October 1, 2018

In the blog, Professor Fair also elaborated on her childhood experience with assault. She claims she was abused by her uncle.

“My cynicism is learned from experience: my quest for justice has gone unrequited for decades. My abuser, my uncle, ultimately went to jail for murdering my aunt after whom I am named. He assaulted me from the time I was a toddler until I was thirteen. He did not spend a second in prison for breaking me. Nor was he punished for sexually assaulting his own children: one of whom murdered himself while the other is a homeless schizophrenic beyond help whose brain produces fantasies that are only marginally less horrific than her realities.”

5. Carol Fair is a Distinguished Associate Professor at Georgetown University

According to her Georgetown University bio, Fair is a “Provost’s Distinguished Associate Professor in the Security Studies Program within Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service.” Her previous experience includes working as a political officer with the United Nations Assistance Mission to Afghanistan.

Her research is focused on political and military exploits in South Asia. Her most recent book, Fighting to the End: The Pakistan Army’s Way of War, focuses on the military’s permeating influence over Pakistan’s international relations and politics.

Fair received her formal education at the University of Chicago before moving to Washington D.C. She earned a bachelor’s degree in biological chemistry in 1991. She obtained a master’s degree from the Harris School of Public Policy. In addition, Fair received a master’s degree as well as a doctorate in South Asian Languages and Civilizations.

Fair lists her current involvement in organizations including: the Council on Foreign Relations, Women in International Security, International Studies Association, the American Political Science Association and the American Institute of Pakistan Studies.

New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/how-to-stop-screwing-yourself-over-mel-robbins-tedxsf-4/

How to stop screwing yourself over | Mel Robbins | TEDxSF

Translator: Judith Matz Reviewer: Tatjana Jevdjic higher welcome! Hi there, San Francisco! TEDx oh my God, blinding gentle! Hi, everyone! How are you? (audience cheering) excellent?! Oh my gosh! K, so… My title is Mel Robbins, and for the last seventeen years, i’ve done nothing however support folks get the whole lot that they want. Inside motive! My husband’s right here. So, I’ve performed it within the court docket, in the boardroom, in the bedroom, in persons’s dwelling room, some thing room you want to be in, if i am there, i will help you get something you want by any means fundamental. For the final three years I host a syndicated radio exhibit. Five days a week, i go are living in forty cities and that i talk to guys and females throughout america who feel stuck.Have you learnt that a third of american citizens feel upset with their lives correct now? That is a hundred million persons! That’s insane! And i have come face to face with it on this new show that i am doing, which is also insane, it can be referred to as "In-laws". I transfer in with families across the usa (Laughter) You guessed it! Who are at battle with their in-laws. We transfer them into the equal residence, I verbally assassinate everybody, we open up Pandora’s box, and that i get men and women to discontinue arguing in regards to the donuts and who is webhosting Thanksgiving dinner, and talk about the actual stuff. And that’s what I need to talk to you about. I am right here for you. I’ll tell you the whole thing i know in not up to eighteen minutes about tips on how to get what you need. So i would like you to take a millisecond right now and feel about what you want.You! And i want you to be egocentric. Screw Simon and the "We" thing. This is about me, correct now! (Laughter) (Applause) Sorry, Simon. What do you need? And this is the deal. I don’t want it to sound good to other folks. Being healthful will not get your ass on a treadmill. Dropping your manboobs, so you could hook up with anyone, now that’s motivation. (Laughter) So, I wish to be aware of: What do you need? Do you wish to have to lose weight? Do you need to triple your income? Do you wish to have to a nonprofit? Do you need to seek out love? What is it? Get it, correct right here.You understand what it’s, do not analyze it to loss of life, simply select something. That’s a part of the quandary. You is not going to decide on. So, we will be speaking about the way you get what you want. And admittedly, getting what you need is modest. But notice I didn’t say it was easy. It’s very simple. Actually, if you feel about it, we reside in essentially the most amazing second in time. So that factor that you have up right here, some thing it usually is, you wish to have to make use of healthful consuming to remedy your diabetes, you need to determine how you can deal with the elders and begin a brand new hospice center, you want to move to Africa and build a school… Wager what? Which you could walk right into a ebook store correct now! And purchase as a minimum ten books written by using credentialed professionals on how the hell you do it.You could Google it. And also you could ordinarily to find as a minimum, I have no idea – a thousand blogs documenting the step, by means of step, by way of step transformation that anyone else is already doing. You can see any individual online and cyber-stalk them! (Laughter) which you could simply walk in their footsteps just use the science of drafting. Comply with what everybody else has achieved, due to the fact that an individual is already doing it! So why do not you’ve gotten what you need, when you have all the understanding that you need, you could have the contacts that you just need, there are almost always free instruments on-line that enable you to start a industry, or join a gaggle, or do some thing the heck you want!? It all comes down to 1 phrase: F*#.Shut the front door, you already know what i am talking about? The f-bomb. It’s everywhere! You hear it always! I honestly do not realise what the attraction is of the phrase. I imply, you do not sound wise while you say it. And it’s quite not expressing how you fairly consider. It’s style of a inexpensive shot to take. And of direction you already know i am speaking concerning the phrase "exceptional". "how you doing?" "Oh, i am high-quality." Oh, relatively? You might be? Dragging round those further forty kilos, you are exceptional? Feeling like roommates together with your partner, and you’re nice? You haven’t had sex in four months, you are pleasant? Quite?! I don’t think so! But see, here’s the take care of pronouncing that you’re exceptional: it is without a doubt genius.Given that if you are best, you do not have to do whatever about it. However when you feel about this phrase "high-quality", it just makes me so indignant. Right here we’re at a convention about being alive and you are going to explain the experience of being alive as "nice"?! What a flimsy and feeble phrase! If you’re crappy, say you are crappy! If you’re amazing say you are potent! Tell the truth! And this not simplest goes for the social construct: "Oh, i don’t wish to burden you with the truth that I hate my life", or: "hiya, i am mighty! However that may make you consider terrible." The greater drawback The bigger limitation with "quality" is that you simply say it to your self. That thing that you wish to have, I warranty you, you’ve convinced your self that you’re quality no longer having it. That is why you’re no longer pushing your self. It is the areas on your life the place you have got given up. The place you’ve gotten mentioned, "Oh, i’m nice. My mother’s in no way going to change, so I just are not able to have that dialog." "i am best.We now have got to attend until the kids graduate, earlier than we get divorced, so we’ll just sleep in separate bedrooms." "i am fine. I lost my job, i can barely pay my expenditures, but some thing it’s rough to get a job." probably the most explanations why this phrase also just annoys me so much is, scientists have calculated Oh yeah, i’m coming down! (Laughter) Scientists have calculated the odds of you being born. That is proper. They’ve crunched the numbers. I see you up there. They’ve crunched the numbers on you Yeah, you guys standing up, you want to sit down down for this.They’ve crunched the numbers on you being born. They usually took under consideration the entire wars, and the average mess ups, and the dinosaurs, and everything else. And do you realise that the chances, the chances of you, yeah, proper here, put your laptop away, get up for me, Doug! (Laughter) So the chances of Doug right here, flip round, say "hi" to all people the percentages of Doug being born at the moment in time he was born, to the dad and mom you had been born to, with the DNA constitution that you’ve, one in 4 hundred trillion! Is not that effective? Doug: i’m so lucky! Mel: yes! You’re not pleasant, you are awesome! You might have life-changing suggestions for a cause, and it’s to not torture yourself. Thanks. Thank you, Doug. (Applause) Christine used to be correct when she mentioned all of you might be on stage.Because all of you we’re all in this category. One in 4 hundred trillion. All day long you’ve ideas that would trade your life, that would alternate the world, that might change the way that you simply believe, and what do you do with them? Nothing! (Grunts) expectantly I is not going to moon you. (Laughter) You did not pay for that. (Laughter) And i need you to only consider for a minute, when you consider that we all have i really like to use the analogy "the interior snooze button" you have these effective strategies that bubble up.You’ve got been gazing men and women all day and that i assurance you, like ping pong balls bam-bam-bam and everytime you have an thought, what do you do? Hit the snooze! What’s the first selection you made this morning? I bet it used to be to go back to bed. "Yeah, first determination at present, i’m one in 4 hundred trillion, i go to go back to sleep." and that i get it! Your mattress is relaxed! It can be cosy, it can be heat! If you’re fortunate, you have got received someone that you just love subsequent to you, or in my case, I’ve acquired my husband and my two kids and possibly the dog. And the motive why i am citing this first resolution that you just made at present, and the internal snooze alarm, is considering the fact that in any discipline of your life that you want to alter, any there’s one reality that you just have got to comprehend.This one: you’re on no account going to suppose like it. Ever. No one’s coming, motivation isn’t happening, you’re not ever going to believe find it irresistible. Scientists call it activation vigor. That’s what they name the force required to get you to alter from what you are doing on autopilot to do something new. So try this test the following day. You consider you are so fancy, i know, you are attending TED. (Laughter) try this. The following day morning, set your alarm for thirty minutes earlier. After which when it goes off, take those sheets, throw them off, and get up and your day. No snooze, no prolong, no, "i’ll just wait here for five seconds on account that Mel’s now not standing here" Do it. And the motive why i would like you to do it’s because you will come face to face with the bodily, and i imply bodily force that’s required to alter your behavior. Do you consider that an individual who wants to shed some pounds ever appears like going on a diet? Of path no longer! You think they ever feel like eating boiled hen and peas as a substitute of a croissant? I do not suppose so! The activation vigor required to get your ass away from your computer and out the entrance door, to go on the stroll, you mentioned that you had been going to go on, is the designated same quantity of drive that it takes you to push yourself out of a heat bed and into a bloodless room.What’s exciting about being an adult is that whilst you emerge as eighteen, nobody tells you that it can be now going to be your job to father or mother yourself. And by means of "guardian yourself", I mean it’s your job to make yourself do the crap you do not want to do, so you could be the whole lot that you are supposed to be. And you are so rattling busy ready to suppose find it irresistible. And you’re by no means going to! My son by no means seems like getting off his DS. That’s my job! Get off the rattling DS! Kendall, easy up the Barbies! If you’re going to have a nude party in my rest room, as a minimum smooth it up! (Laughter) God, chew together with your mouth closed! We’re not a barn, for crying out loud! Very well, dinner is coming, get out of the pantry. As father and mother, and also you were a kid, your parents make you do the things you don’t suppose like doing.Considering that you will not. Ever. Not now, not then, no longer ever! And even while you get just right at something, you’ll work out whatever else you do not need to do. And then you’ll plateau out, lose interest, "I hate this job. Blah blah boring." but will you seem for a brand new one? No! You’ll be able to simply bitch about that one. It’s very, quite simple to get what you need. But it surely’s not convenient. You have got to drive yourself. And i mean force. And the purpose why i take advantage of the phrase "force" when Roz was once up here and talking concerning the emotion monitoring, and she had the picture of two aspects of the mind I appear on the mind the designated same manner. Best I describe one part of your mind as autopilot and the other aspect as emergency brake. That is the only two speeds you get: autopilot, emergency brake. And wager which one your brain likes better: autopilot. You’ve had the expertise the place you may have pushed to work and also you get there and you are like, "Oh my God, i don’t don’t forget ever driving right here." (Laughter) you were not drunk! That was your brain on autopilot. It was functioning just at this level. And the challenge with your mind is that anytime you do anything that is distinct out of your traditional pursuits, guess what your brain does emergency brake! And it has that response for everything. The whole thing! You walk into the kitchen and see each person’s left their breakfast dishes for you.And you feel for the hundredth time, "i will kill them. Actually i am gonna depart it here and i’ll make them do it." but that’s no longer your typical pursuits, is it? So your mind goes: emergency brake! And you go proper into autopilot. "i will just load it, and be pissed, after which not have intercourse. That’s what i’ll do." (Laughter) (Applause) So, once I say "force", something that’s a spoil out of your pursuits is going to require force. And should you think about your existence, it is form of humorous seeing that we’re kids and then we become adults, and we spend so much time trying to push our life into some style of stable movements, and then we develop bored of it! You get up at the same time day-to-day, you’ve got mostly the same breakfast, you drive to work the equal way, show up at work, seem busy, prevent making calls, replace facebook, you attend a assembly and doodle the entire time, go back and replace facebook, make plans for the evening, you seem busy some extra, then pressure home the equal manner, you devour mostly the equal dinner or a kind of it, you watch the equal form of media, and then you definately go to mattress, and do the same thing in every single place once more! No surprise you’re bored out of your mind! It can be the activities that is killing you.I have this thought about why individuals get caught in existence. So, most of you might have more commonly taken your normal Psych 101 category, and you may have bumped into Abraham Maslow’s "Hierarchy of wants"? Good, your body is kinda cool. Because you could have these normal desires. And your body is wired to ship you signals. If you would like meals, what do you believe? If you want water, what do you suppose? If you would like intercourse, what do you consider? (Laughter) thanks. I consider whilst you believe stuck or disenchanted in your lifestyles, it is a sign. And it’s now not a sign that your life is broken. It is a sign that considered one of your most simple wishes aren’t being met. Your want for exploration. The whole lot about your existence, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate, your hair, your nails, the whole lot grows in your whole existence. And your soul wishes exploration and development. And the one method you can get it’s with the aid of forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head. Thanks. If you are in your head, you are in the back of enemy lines. That is not God speakme, okay? It’s not! In fact, if I put a speaker on it and we broadcast what you say to yourself, we would institutionalize you. (Laughter) you wouldn’t hang out with persons that speak to you the way in which you speak to your self.So get out of your head! Your feelings! Your feelings are screwing you! I don’t care the way you believe! I care about what you need! And in the event you take heed to the way you feel, when it comes to what you need you are going to no longer get it. Seeing that you are going to never think find it irresistible. And also you have got to get external your alleviation zone. It is no longer about taking dangers, it can be about getting outside your remedy zone. Those first three seconds whilst you push your self off the bed, they blow. But once you’re up, it can be best. Those first three seconds when you are sitting here in a stadium like this and an individual says, "stand up and come dance," and you think, "Oh, I should do that," after which you’re like, "Uhmm." that experience that you simply had while you had the impulse to do it and then you definately failed to do the activation vigour required to drive your self, your emergency brake received pulled "i’m sitting proper here. I am no longer going up with those crazy men and women, i don’t like to bounce…" What happened for me is I came up, and i ran into Rachel, after which we began speaking, and next factor you realize, she’s tweeting.And we’re associates. And boom! Get outside. That’s where the magic is. That’s the place the one in four hundred trillion exists. So the whole lot I do oh, ok, that is the final phase. Sorry. So an extra factor that you should utilize, I call it the 5-second-rule. Your mind can method a facial features in 33 milliseconds. It may transfer pretty damn speedy. The other thing that it does very rapidly is you probably have a kind of little impulses which might be pulling you, when you do not marry it with an motion inside 5 seconds, you pull the emergency brake and kill the idea. Kill it! In case you have the impulse to get up and are available dance whilst the band is playing, when you do not rise up in five seconds, you are going to drag the emergency brake. If in case you have an impulse about, you have been stimulated through a person’s speech today, and you don’t do anything inside five seconds write a observe, ship yourself a text anything bodily to marry it with the suggestion, you’ll pull the emergency brake and kill the inspiration.Your problem is not recommendations. Your situation is you don’t act on them. You kill them. It is no longer my fault. It is not any person’s fault. You’re doing it to yourself. Stop it! I am depending on you. One in four hundred trillion. You received stuff to do! And it is now not going to happen for your head. So i would like you to observe this in these days. Once we go off to party, thank God it can be coming soon, since I think we all might use a cocktail, i want you to observe the 5-second-rule. You see anyone and also you consider you could have an impulse, they seem exciting? Stroll over there! You were encouraged by somebody and you’ve got a request? Make it! That is why you’re here! Test with it, and i think you can be shocked about what happens. And one more thing, i would like you to grasp that the whole thing that I do, whether or not it is the radio show, or the television exhibit, or the booklet that I wrote, or the column, it can be for you.And if there’s something that i will do, if i can do some thing to make you do the things you do not need to do, so that you would be able to have what you wish to have, i’ll do it. However you have got to walk over, you have to open your mouth, and also you have to make the request. You received it? Good. Go do it. (Applause) thanks! Thanks, yes! Rise up! You’ve got the impulse, stand up! Thank you! .
