#i live in ri so my rep is

[kenzietensei]

I'm lucky enough to live in a blue state which has good representatives who are not cowards - they openly speak out against the fascists trying to take over the US. So I've never really had to call and complain (because I feel the issues I care about are being considered and worked on appropriately). But I've heard that being vocal in your support is important too. So today (for the first time) I called my congressman's office to pass along the message - I support his stance against Trump and Musk and their cronies, and as long as he continues to keep the line against them, I will continue to vote him into office.

It was a little awkward on my end (because I didn't check out a script beforehand so I felt stilted) but their guy on the phone was nice. All he asked was that I leave my info (name and zip code) and that he'd pass along the message. So although I struggle to do the whole phone calls thing in general, it wasn't a bad experience and I feel glad that I did it.

Anyways, this is a call to action! Even when you feel your political reps are doing what needs to be done, confirming for them that you support that and want them to continue fighting for just policy is valuable. It's a 3 minute phone call. I'd encourage you to give it a shot!

SFW

🔩 the epitome of a girly tomboy. her closet is a mixture of men's and women's clothing. her go to look is a fitted top, baggy pants, and a pair of sneakers. around the house, she likes to wear a sports bra and boxer briefs. for formal events, she opts for a tailored suit and heels.

🔩 cornrows, box braids, knotless braids; she's tried them all. of the styles, straight back cornrows are her favorite. if she's feeling nostalgic, she'll add beads at the end of her braids. regardless of the style, her edges must be done. when she’s in a rush, she’d rather throw a hat on than to be seen without her edges laid.

🔩 without jewelry she feels naked. gold is her preferred metal but she’ll wear silver if it matches her outfit. her chains are a staple with anything she wears.

🔩 obsessed with getting her nails done. there is an agreement between the two of you that you pick the color and she picks the design. however, sometimes she’s adventurous and surprises you with a random color.

🔩 the biggest baby ever. after a long day of classes, she craves you. engulfed in your arms is her safe space. if she could live in your skin, she would.

🔩 before attending MIT, she worked at a car repair shop in high school. her love for cars stems from her relationship with her step-father. as a child, she would help him repair his plymouth barracuda in the garage. getting her hands dirty reminds her of the time she spent with him. in her free time, you often catch her in her garage modifying the plymouth barracuda. she recently installed a set of brake calipers in the color red.

🔩 legos! legos! legos! your girlfriend is a fein for anything lego. legos allow her to keep her hands busy while keeping her mind stimulated.

🔩 gym rat DOWN! she lives in the gym; it’s a safe space for her. for riri, each set, each rep, are not just pursuits of strength, but a ritual of equilibrium. she chases that release of dopamine; it balances her.

🔩 she’s your personal stylist. riri spends hours on pinterest saving fits and curating looks for you. she enjoys seeing you in the clothes she buys you, and she’s even more obsessed with taking your pictures. you have an entire instagram page dedicated to the outfits she’s made for you, and you must tag her so that 1. your followers know that she put the fit together and 2. you’re absolutely 100% taken, so they better not try anything!

NSFW

🔩 horny 25/8. 3 in the morning? horny. 5 in the afternoon? horny. she’s down for whatever, whenever.

🔩 a strap slinger! she loves seeing the way you react every time her strap disappears in you. her favorite position is missionary because it allows her to look into your eyes as she’s drilling you.

with her hand wrapped around your throat, riri smiles. her pace is relentless; a clear indication that she is determined to overstimulate you. your legs are wrapped around her torso, holding on for dear life.

tears began forming in your eyes; the feeling of pain and pleasure mixing.

"give it to me, baby." she hums.

“let go.”

you know what she desires, and you know how much she loves discovering the intricacies of your body.

the grip on your neck tightened as she hit your g-spot. the aroma of sex and musk fill the room as you close your eyes. seconds later, your right nipple is met with a harsh slap, followed by a demanding suckle.

"did i say you could close your eyes?"

🔩 devouring you is her favorite pastime. you're upset? head. stressed out? head. it doesn't matter when or where; she's always ready to drop to her knees for a taste of you.

with a sigh, riri places her keys on the kitchen counter. picking up her phone, she sends you a series of texts:

🔩 undoubtedly a switch. as much as she loves bending you over, she yearns for your dominance. relinquishing control to you is easy for her.

🔩 has a tramp stamp that reads "lucky you" in red ink.

🔩 she loves the feeling of you tugging on her braids as she cleans you up. slurp after slurp, she doesn't dare complain about how tight your grip is. all she cares about is how lovely you taste.

🔩 tying you up so she can see you squirm is one of the ways she punishes you when you've been a brat.

🔩 when she's frustrated with you, she makes you watch as she rubs her clit.

you extend your arms, attempting to touch her. swatting your hand away, she smirks.

"do you deserve to touch me?” you shake your in defiance.

"then stop trying to touch me!"

Gina, have you seen the article about Hs workout routine for LOT? I mean, we all saw the results… but I find it almost even more impressive to learn how its been done! His dedication and work ethic is so inspiring and surely part of why I adore him so much 🫠🫶

Holy hell. No wonder he’s in such great shape. Just a note that Thibo David was his old trainer with Live On Tour. I assume Brad Gould was his new trainer for Love on Tour. But I doubt his regimen was any less insane.

[…]

If you include the one-mile run and bodyweight challenge, this is the hardest warm-up I’ve ever done, but, given the intensity required for the next two elements I’m promoting them to workout status.

[…]

David says Harry Styles can run a mile in an impressive 5min 13sec—a standard some of the professional athletes David coaches can’t match—but I was urged to run my own race.

[…]

This was far closer to my wheelhouse as a CrossFit fan. I chose to tackle it in alternating sets of 10, transitioning quickly between exercises to finish within the eight-minute limit. But even commando rolling from push-up to sit-up then springing into the squats left me little time to spare.

[…]

I took 7min 39sec, and, somewhat unexpectedly, given I can barbell squat more than 300lb, it was my quads that blew up the most. Whether this was the result of the one-mile run before it or heavy front squats the day before, I couldn’t say, but my thighs were on fire by the final rep.

“I like to say that I train very smart, but you also have to be very stupid sometimes, you know? Do this type of workout in the most stupid way; go hard at the task at hand, like when you throw a ball for a dog and it goes super crazy.

“This is a very good workout for that. Very good at building everything that needs to be added after the aerobic base; aggressiveness, speed, that go-hard mentality.”

[…]

Things did become particularly spicy during round three and four though, as my body began to tire with the sustained effort.

My posterior chain (the muscles running along the back side of the body) took a battering from the kettlebell swings and sandbag-over-shoulders, my already-fried legs felt heavy during the box jumps, and my shoulders grew tired from two minutes of straight clean and presses—it was a serious test of muscular endurance.

[…] I also did 12 total rounds—I wanted the full Styles experience, after all—but I’d live to regret this. The hill I chose grew progressively steeper as I worked my way up it, and by the eighth round I felt like death. My sprints turned to slogs, and the time it took me to complete the distance I established in the first interval grew longer.

[…] The prior running and box jumps didn’t help either, but I got it done eventually in less than 30 minutes.

[…]

This was a relaxing way to wrap up a far from relaxing morning of training, and gave me a second to catch my breath after a monumental effort which lasted a little over two hours.

I swapped his day of training for one of my usual CrossFit sessions and had a lot of fun doing it. Every part of my body felt like it had been put through the ringer thanks to the muscle-burning circuit and lung-taxing running elements. I was also very, very hungry.

Another thing that impressed me was Styles’ evident fitness levels and work ethic; how he has the energy to perform for two hours during a stadium tour is no longer a mystery.

Another thing I liked about my chat with David was his openness and honesty. I often see articles online saying celebrities do a few Pilates classes or HIIT workouts each week to stay in unbelievable shape, and he was keen to dispel this myth.

“Collaborating with Harry Styles was an absolute delight; his commitment is unparalleled,” says David.

“But it’s important to note that this level of training isn’t suitable for everyone. Harry was inherently fit, but achieving the level of fitness needed for this session still required time, work and effort. Rushing into such high-volume workouts can pose risks.”

David also stressed that sessions of this intensity weren’t done every day, and the nature of his workouts will often “depend on the day and the state of the athlete”.

“It’s crucial to emphasize the significance of proper periodization,” says David. “Not every day constituted an intense session. In fact, we strategically incorporated recovery sessions which often involved a light run combined with core exercises and mobility work. Every workout was thoughtfully placed within the overall training plan.”

What are your thoughts on haylor meeting up in late 2016? Do you think there was a slight chance of them getting back together, and do you think they would've made it if they did get back together? I know Taylor chose the safest option, but Harrry and her didn't even seem to talk things out, so why even meet in the first place? Didn't Taylor tell him she loves someone else, too? It's so confusing...

I think they did, there are enough crumbs to give it plausible and they both spent November and December in LA and London respectively. But this is in the same time the Joe stuff was starting so who knows.

This got long, sorry. The TLDNR is:

the canon is Taylor met Joe at the Met, dated Tom, broke up and in October 2016 went to Joe's premiere and started dating him. Although Joe was not in the same country as Taylor for most of that time. In May 2017 they went public and were seen 20 times before Reputation came out in November, it was super public.

An alternate timeline is that after Hendall and Hiddleswift both ended within a month and before Joe/Taylor and Harry/Tess Ward went public within a week the haylor sightings, being in the same city, songs, gifts, blind items, edited videos and friend comments were because they were secretly dating again.

because....

24 August - Hiddleswift over

22 September - Hendall break up again.

28 September - Taylor with Cara, Harry MIA, released Another Man covers/mixtape, Joe London.

October - Harry was in Jamaica recording HS1. Joe in London on 3rd. On 13th Joe and Taylor at Bowery enter separately. Joe is in NY for the Billy Lynn Long Halftime Walk promo tour so unlikely to have ample days ahead in NY given the films budget.

11 October - Taylor went to Joe's movie screening and the Rep book has a 19 November polaroid captioned "how would you feel about having a song written about you?"

3 November - Both are in LA for November with HS1 recorded.

25 November - Harry was seen in LA then disappeared for a week. Taylor posted a lot of photos of friendsgiving in RI. Joe not there. Taylor posted photos so would only show who was public.

28 November - is the first clue things may have been back on in a few months (apart from having both been in LA). Gemma (Harry's sister), Lou Teasdale (Harry's close friend & 1D stylist), Sam Campbell (Lou's sister and friend of Harry, married to one of Harry's friends too) go to Karaoke and post lyrics to WANGBT and Sam captions it "talk to my friends". 👀

Haylor Secrets posts that they are together, which.. that account may be totally fake, or making it up, but had been right about stuff

December - Both in London, IDWLF released, Taylor has a birthday party at her London House the Rep magazine photos are in, Harry MIA but in London. On 28 December there was an unconfirmed sighting of them together and Taylor gave Austin a record signed by friends of Harry's. He thanked them and the band commented that it was signed for 'a friends little brother' who turned out to be Taylor Swift.' Harry knew them for years and Sam Campbell commented 'LOL'

31 December - in 2020 7 photos of Taylor & Joe getting ready in her London house leaked with this date given. Why only 7? The date of the New Years Eve jumping into an icy pool story Taylor Nation edited out. If the story was about Joe why would it be edited out?

3 January 2017 - Lover journal that Taylor has been with someone for 3 months, no one has found out and she is living in London. It had been 3.1 months since the Hendall break up and 2.5 months since Joe got to NY. .....

7 January - Harry records Lately where he sings 'I don't believe what you're saying to me, "that I love him"'

13 January - Taylor records DWOHT and the IDWLF music video.

1 February - Harry's birthday, the rose ring appears. Taylor is in NY/Nashville, Harry NY/London and Joe in London.

April - Harry's Rolling Stone interview where he leaves the table when Taylor is brought up and says he wants to tip is hat to her about 1989, and give his whole cap to the muse of HS1, now over.

7 May - Harry seen with Tess Ward, the first time he has been seen with anyone since having dinner with Kendall in September.

16 May - a week later The Sun reports Joe and Taylor dating 'for months'. First time Taylor seen with anyone romantically since August

Even longer versions are in the 2016 and 2017 timelines.

Tag game: List 10 of your comfort shows, then tag 10 people

I was tagged by @twig-tea thanks for the tag. Like you I'm having trouble narrowing it down so I cheated a little and some of this are grouped together.

Group One is the Detective group, I used to love detective stories, which means I watched a lot of cop shows, there are some that I can't watch anymore because of the new awarness of the copaganda but these are the ones that I still find comfort in: Cold Case, Elementary, Murder She Wrote, Columbo and Ris Roma (italian version of a CSI like show, this is the first and only spin-off which I like more)

Skam OG S3 and Eyewitness and Skam Italia s2. These I am not reaching for as much since I have BLs now. But they are still comfort shows. Skam Italian s2 in particular I reach when I want to feel better about the borderline semi-fascist hellstate I'm living in, since it's the best gay rep we italians got.

Animated Group: Animaniacs and Tiny Toons along with Looney Toons cartoons I use as background noise kind of shows. And along with the anime Kodomo No Omocha (Rossana in Italian) they remind me the most of childhood. Side note sometimes I listen to intro of Rossana anime and feel like a kid again, cartoon intro used to be a pretty big deal in Italian dub cartoons 80% of which were sanged by a single woman.

Old Sitcom Group: The Golden Girls, Boy Meets the World, Full House and The Nanny

Leverage (not the new seasons, I don't really like them, just the old ones)

Community

Living Single

Superstore

The BL Group (the most recent and the one that I am now leaning to most of all): Until We Meet Again, Be Loved In House I Do, History 2 Right or Wrong, Semantic Error and My School President are the ones that bring me the most comfort.

This is mega cheating because they are not really show as in tv series. But they always bring me the most consistent comfort: Assorted Musicals and Theather Live Recordings. In particular = The Sound of Music, West Side Story 2021, Moulin Rouge, Les Misarable 25th concert, Into the Woods (the 90s recording), Much Ado About Nothing (the 2011 recording with David Tennant), Cats and an italian one Notre Dame De Paris an Italian-French Musical based on the Victor Hugo book not realted to the Disney version at all)

Bonus: the ones that are no longer comfort shows because I can never watch them again: CSI (all of them but I used to love NY), Law and Order, and Veronica Mars (which I haven't been able to watch since I saw s4)

And the ones that didn't make the list: My favorite Power Rangers series (they range from Lost Galaxy to RPM)

Tagging: @thehollowprince @heretherebedork @callipigio @benkaaoi @slayerkitty @respectthepetty

It's not 10 but I am bad with names so these are I could think of. No pressure to them of course.

God's Whistleblower

The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3 (ESV)

One day the members of the heavenly court came to present themselves before the LORD, and the Accuser, Satan, came with them. “Where have you come from?” the LORD asked Satan. Satan answered the LORD, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.” Job 1:6-7 (NLT)

So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches? Luke 16:11 (BSB)

“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the LORD, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin." Isaiah 30:1 (NKJV) 

What are worthless and wicked people like? They are constant liars. Proverbs 6:12 (NLT) 

This is what the LORD says: “See how the waters are rising in the north; they will become an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and everything in it, the towns and those who live in them. The people will cry out; all who dwell in the land will wail. Jeremiah 47:2 (NIV)

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. Apocalypse 20:12 (BSB)

And if anyone was found whose name was not written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Apocalypse 20:15 (BSB)

Pre-Semester Wrap Up

I already have a paper due on Feb 9th UUUUUUGHGHGHHGHG-

Thankfully, I accomplished a lot over break and laid the groundwork for future development on Jakho.

I have a tentative character lineup now. Figured out what Khanh is supposed to do (which I couldn't figure out for a while. Doryeong is about to change again though. I just feel it. So I can keep track of the most update mental build in my head, here are the primary players:

TW: S****de mention, death mention

Gom Baram Daughter of failed provincial civil servants. Mother's national assembly campaign and family's rep was derailed by a scandal involving their family's apparent obstruction of a different political marriage. They went to the capital and opened an inn-type place. Baram was so scorned by the injustice in the civil suit that she went and became an attorney. Had a promising career until her parents fell ill, and she had to quit to take care of them and the business. Grew desperate and called on her estranged sister to try and help them. Things get better and she eventually reenters her career, but at a disadvantage.

Gom Bari Also daughter of failed provincial civil servants. The elder. As a teen she crushed on a Maeng/Manh (term extremely pending) girl who had been intended to be married to the heir of a provincial political family. One day they decided to run off to explore some medieval ruins. When they came back, they were found out. Long story short, Bari doomed her family's political potential. She also had always been a bit "off," and shortly afterwards experienced a bout of sinbyeong/shaman's illness. So they sent her to distant relatives living in the frontier provinces and basically disowned her.

She was initiated and started training as a shaman but at some point enlisted in the army due to her useful physique + to financially help her relatives. Hunted the dying out frontier gangs and learned some advanced medicine from a medic she befriended. Discharged when injured and returned to taking care of her community. Didn't really hear back from her family until Baram sent her a letter. Went to the capital to take care of her parents, utilizing a combination of her shaman training, folk medicine, and modern medicine. Things got better and she chooses to stay, opening a practice in the capital while also helping her parents' business so that Bari could do lawyer stuff again.

Ly Khanh/I Ka-in/Ri Kyung Daughter of a Manh engineer (railroads/bridges/will be decided) that worked directly for the Long Empire as opposed to his home kingdom until the Sandalwood Wars threw a wrench in everything. His imperial affiliations cast a shadow over his family when a new dynasty overtook his homeland, and so he sought work elsewhere, recruited by the recovering Yul (as his family had worked in Yul in the past). He based his family in the capital of a province while he traveled around the country directing infrastructure projects.

Khanh mostly grew up there and befriended Bari from an early age. Her mother developed a semi-successful business. Soon it was decided Khanh would marry the heir of a provincial political clique to cement their status in Bandonese society, involving the transfer of her mother's business in return. Khanh didn't like this. She ran off with Bari one day and threw everything into shambles. When the news broke, the local family broke off the engagement and symbolically sued the Ly's for really petty terms like defamation and emotional damage to the heir. The Ly's then in turn sued the Gom's for the money lost due to settling the issue. The Gom's eventually had to pay up.

The Ly's got put in hot water for this and eventually became the victim of the xenophobic tide-turning in the capital. Her father was dismissed from his post, and then disappeared, likely murdered for trying to dispute his dismissal. Her family left Yul Country for elsewhere, likely Bellia, and then returned to their homeland when political conditions were more favorable. Khanh, haunted by her father's fate and failing at becoming a scholar, developed a reputation for problem solving and grew into a detective-type. She avoids returning to Yul for as long as possible due to deep-seated shame, until invited to work on a mystery(ies) by an acquaintance, who insists the liberal decade has done a favorable number on the country. By then, she has adopted a moniker (to be decided). Jak Doryeong He was sold as a child for a quick buck across a river by one of those declining frontier gangs, where the administration of law was much more difficult and out of reach. He escaped and withered serious injuries before collapsing from exhaustion in the mountains. Jak Heungjin, a foreign ministry official mourning the death of his wife and son in the northern provinces, famously followed the calls of magpies to his broken body, whereupon he nursed him back to health. He adopted him under the name Doryeong, and whoever he was beforehand—all but disappeared.

Doryeong flourished under Heungjin's personal care, as he took the unusual step of raising him mostly by himself and putting off returning to his post. He took a liking to history and law, and Heungjin's homecoming to the capital began Doryeong's ascent in higher education. Because Heungjin had far exceeded his period of mourning by several years, he was not restored to his post, occupied by a friend he'd chosen to "save" it for him. He sued, but because it was only custom, he lost the suit—likely due to his affiliation with the opposition, then-minority party.

Doryeong focused on uplifting his father's legacy by studying well for his examinations. At a celebration for his achievements, however, his uncle, the Supreme Prosecutor, was murdered by Gil Yong-gi—that ex-friend. Heungjin was nearly framed and executed until the opposition coalesced around his case, with key pieces of evidence being released to the public. The elder Jak was saved, while Gil was executed. Doryeong eventually gained admission to the national university and engaged in a relationship with a young widower while he studied history. However, the widower died out of continued grief.

As a result, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, his father, took a mourning period and appointed Heungjin in his place in the meantime. Relations between the elder and younger Jak frayed around this time. Heungjin seemed to desire a grandchild, which Doryeong refused to secure, even by single-parent adoption. Thus, Heungjin remarried and gained a young daughter. After Doryeong's own short mourning period, he went abroad to travel, where he met Ly Khanh.

He returned after a few years and became a professor at the national university, while Heungjin sought to become properly/permanently appointed as Foreign Minister through supporting a new prime minister in the next election cycle. Around this time, the Jak family is plagued by a slew of threats that only Doryeong seems to see and take action against by hiring out his detective friend. (but I might actually turn him into a prosecutor now; who knows)

Jak Onjo (name subject to change) He was the son of Jak Noljin, the elder of the Jak brothers, who ascended to prominence under the conservative period as the Supreme Prosecutor. The death of his father deeply shook him, and he vowed to help others find justice by becoming a prosecutor himself, based currently in the capital. His honest demeanor and dealings have won him a great deal of appeal, contrasting with his intimidating, ambitious late father.

Gil Yuk-Nyang and Yeonseok (pending names!) The children of the late Gil. The controversy garnered by their father caused the majority party to turn on him and his family. After his execution and the fallout it had on the party's reputation and power, Gil's children and widow were shunned, sometimes violently, and they quietly slipped away to Bellia (or some other place). Both children grew up somewhat adrift, adopting new names with their mother to disappear into the rest of the diaspora community. But none of them recovered. Yeonseok went on his own path, while sibling Yuk-Nyang stayed close with their mother.

That mother, quietly grieving until the end, on her deathbed beseeched her child to return to that terrible country and do what she could not—seek vengeance and exonerate their wrongly executed father. Yuk-Nyang thus found their brother and looped him into her scheme to return to Yul and bring down every single individual who had a hand in condemning their family, ending with exposing the venerable Jak Heungjin.

Ho Daeran and Nam The former, a recent migrant from the northern frontiers with a far more storied, violent past than he lets on. The latter, his reason for coming so far down south to the capital. The bachelor Daeran adopted Nam as his younger brother some time before coming to the capital, working stifling dull jobs that he hates to scrape together enough cash for Nam to study law and pass the bar. Nam deeply cares for his adoptive "brother" and desperately fights to have him declared innocent in a murder trial that seems all but pre-decided. The only attorney who is willing to take the case for such little compensation is Gom Baram.

August 15 2019 - An ICE prison guard rams a blockade of Jewish antifascist protesters in Central Falls, Rhode Island, after which his colleagues come over to pepper spray them. An eyewitness account:

Tonight I planned to be arrested protesting at the Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, RI. I wore comfortable layers. I made sure to not drink too much water. I left my phone and keys with a volunteer in a baggie with my name on it. The only things in my pockets were $40 and a photo ID. Four hours later, I watched the ambulances gather up the seriously injured.The action was organized by Never Again is Now. We marched from Jenks Park, singing, chanting, praying. We gathered outside of the facility, about 40 of us who had planned to get arrested, and large crowd of other protesters. We delivered a letter with demands, and when, as expected, the demands were not met, we lined up outside the two entrances to the Wyatt, one to block pedestrian access and the other to block vans. However, because they knew we were coming, they had rescheduled all prisoner transfers so there were no vans coming in or out. 

So we decided to relocate to the adjacent parking lot, to block guards from leaving when their shift was over. There was a large entrance and a smaller entrance off to the side. At first I was with the big group at the front entrance. Then a car started heading towards the side entrance, so some of us broke off to block that exit. The person in that car was a woman, and she left her engine on the whole time during what followed.At the main entrance, at about 9:30pm, a guard in a black pickup truck roared down the street, and rammed directly into the line of protestors on that side. Two people were injured. Then, WITHIN SECONDS, a horde of guards came streaming out of the prison and pepper-sprayed the protesters, including the injured. Let me be clear: there is no way that they could have gotten there that fast unless there was some communication ahead of time from the guy in the truck about his plan. Many people were seriously injured by the amount and manner in which the pepper spray was used. Prison guards absolutely do not have the authority to use their pepper-spray, a weapon that is part of their job, against civilians outside a prison. And none of the protesters was on prison grounds; we were across the street in a parking lot, which was adjacent to a soccer and baseball field. Earlier in the evening, there had been kids playing there. On our side, we were sitting across the entrance to the parking lot, facing outwards. The woman was still behind us with her lights and engine on. We heard screams but could not see the other group. At that moment, the woman in the car behind us revved her engine several times, to intimidate us into moving. We stood up and faced her. We did not move, and we wanted her to look us in the eye if she was going to run us over. She did not move.This was a premeditated attack. There were both local and state cops in the area - they were there all night keeping an eye on things, but they would do loops, they were not always right in front. The guard watched and waited for a moment when none of the 3 cars that were patrolling were within line of sight to carry out his attack. But he did coordinate with his fellow guards inside so that they were ready in an instant to pour out of the facility and across the street with their pepper spray. When the local cops came back, it was pretty clear that they were PISSED at the guards - I do want to say that in fairness. I do not believe that the local cops were part of the conspiracy. Honestly, this is going to bring such a stream of crap to Central Falls in the coming weeks, and this makes their life very difficult. National attention. But at the same time, they did not immediately arrest the driver. All they would say is that there would be an investigation. When it became clear how seriously injured some folks were, the rest of the protest was cancelled, including our group on the far side of the parking lot. So I came home with the $40 still in my pocket.I joined this action because I've reached a point where I look at everything I've done so far and there's no risk, no personal cost. If I look at this moment in history, and all I can say is that I posted some stuff and waved some signs, but was unwilling to take any risk or do anything that might cost me, I simply cannot live with that. ICE is perpetrating crimes against humanity. I will not be a person who looked the other way, who hoped it would go away. [...] EDIT [the next morning when I can speak more clearly]: For clarity, I don't think the Central Falls police were involved in the planning of the attack, but they were very involved in covering it up by not arresting the guard immediately and in the way they responded to witnesses. Earlier in the night, they blatantly lied to us about who the woman was in the car behind us in an effort to get us to leave. All cops are complicit. Also, by now I'm sure everyone reading this has seen the video and the other news coverage and they made it more clear: he was outside the parking lot, ramming inwards. It's not like he was inside and frustrated with us blocking him. Please, if you talk about this story, make sure to ask the question: if they treated us with this level of violence, a group of civilian protesters with cops not that far away and everyone having a cellphone camera, what do you think they are doing to those detained in the facility who have no way to get the word out about their treatment? One of the items that Never Again is Now was protesting about this facility was the lack of transparency and proof that detainees rights are being met. After last night, it's not enough for the Wyatt to just cancel the ICE contract. The whole facility needs to be shut down. Tell your RI senators and reps: No for-profit prisons in RI!

[taewoongfmd]

hello! this is peyton (mun of impulse’s hwang daesung) with my second character — unity’s lead vocal, moon taewoong. like this if you’re interested in plotting & i’ll hit you up asap! (btw, i have a discord now; i didn’t drop the tag in dae’s intro bc i hadn’t made it yet, but it’s peyton#2067! feel free to add me there w/o asking).

private profile  /  idol profile  /  pinterest

woong is from seoul, which is where he spent the first seven (7) years of his life. but then his parents divorced super suddenly & his dad ~kept the house~ so woong, his mom and his four siblings had to find somewhere else to go. they ended up moving to handong-ri on jeju island and settling in with the mom’s parents on their tangerine farm. so....... yeah he moved from seoul to a fuckin village 😭

really spacious house, really spacious property, really pretty property, but woong was not happy at all. he missed seoul & missed his dad, who made no effort to continue being a father figure after the divorce which was also Really Shocking because he was a great dad before that.

but, life goes on. woong was still really young anyway, so he adjusted to the farm life + to jeju. he ended up finding an activity that got him off the farm and that he actually really, really liked, too  —  soccer!!! he was a fast learner, naturally athletic so he did well and his coach had a LOT of faith in him. eventually he formed the plan to return to seoul as an athlete / to train in a big sports center there but y’know... life can’t be that easy.

aka he got badly injured during a match in 2013 / when he was 16. managed to tear BOTH his acl and pcl, so his leg was Fucked. had to get surgery and the whole recovery process (including physical therapy) took a year and some change. very bad time. i would even call it a Horrible time. he didn’t feel like he was good at anything other than soccer so he was like damn... how am i gonna get out of here now?

but he had his height and his subjective good looks going for him 🤪 in 2014, he had more or less recovered as well as he was going to, was kinda tentative about trying soccer again but Wanted to. before he could work up the courage, he was street casted by a dimensions rep. his family clowned him hard for thinking it was real so he kinda went to the audition to prove that he’s not THAT dumb, kinda went bc he needed an excuse to get tf back into a city, man. handong was NOT cutting it for him.

long story short he became a trainee from pure luck (and some natural talent ig), moved to seoul which fucked up his family relationships to some extent bc him leaving was VERY sudden, no one except his oldest sister even knew that he had been planning to leave for sports. assumed he’d stay there forever, thought it was fucked up that he was so quick to run away.

i’m gonna jump ahead to 2021... i wouldn’t really say that he hates unity, but he definitely feels like an outsider looking in. doesn’t have a background in music, so being an idol at all still feels really weird, but especially with unity’s ~experimental~ music.

he’s distant. when he was younger (and even in his earlier idol days), he was nice enough. not loud, but would laugh and play along with others if they spoke to him first, would reach out to others first on occasion. but his company-assigned image is a mix between tsundere & the “assa” / outsider type; detached, fine on his own, a bit cold/mean/aggressive. like vixx’s leo earlier on but a little more toned-down. going with the outsider portion, he also has the clueless/living under a rock vibe going for him, so fans call him caveman woong 💀 it used to be JUST an image but ultimately fucked up his ability to connect with other people so now he’s rly like that most of the time (and really doesn’t keep up with the world LOL) you can talk to him but his social skills are so bad now that he’ll ignore you but not on purpose.... mf just doesn’t know what to say ever bc he’s been told Not To Talk so much.

he isn’t.... necessarily... mean. he can be, but i’d personally say that he’s more of a self-focused, no bullshit type. really lonely guy who doesn’t know how to interact with others anymore. i guess he wants to relearn people skills, but he’s not trying at the moment. content to just float around in his bubble.

known for being really strong/athletic, which has become one of his very few defining characteristics as an idol. he cannot count the times that he’s shown off his strength by holding a note while splitting fruit on variety shows or dribbled soccer balls for extended periods of time. He’s Tired.

a lesser-known skill he shows off sometimes is his ability to identify plants. if you don’t know him as the athletic guy or the cold guy, you probably know him as the nature guy. he has most korea-native plants memorized and he’s currently working on learning exotic plants. one unspoken goal he has is to show off on a show like law of the jungle.

he raises a bunch of different fish / water-dwelling creatures. has three different tanks.

talks to his fish like they’re babies. if you ever catch him doing this, no you didn’t <3

he used to be REALLY secretive about his family, only ever said that he used to live in jeju but never shared details or clarified any speculations. his privacy disappeared when his family started promoting the tangerine farm as ���a place full of unity’s woong’s charms” and allowing visitors, which pissed him off SO BAD because they were making money off of HIS labor... and then they realized he has a lot of fans & they couldn’t handle it, so they closed off the farm to the public again. somehow, this made him even more angry.

he doesn’t really do any solo activities and idk if i’m ever going to push him as an individual? idk i might but he’s honestly not that interesting/appealing to anyone other than his stans so i don’t see the company pushing him and he doesn’t have much of a desire to do anything on his own in the public eye, either. lowkey so tired that he kinda wishes he’d just stayed in jeju but at the same time..... knows if he had, he’d still be looking for a way out??? idk he’s just here to promote unity’s ~experimental~ songs and pretend like he has a sense of identity.

Stupid questions...

Crowley put the empty tumbler on the coffee table and seriously considered whether it was time to sober up and head home or miracle up another bottle of booze. He flopped back on the couch and relaxed while his brain tried to engage his higher thought functions. The fuzzy black and red checked throw on the back of the couch slid down to fall comfortably across his hip and he gave it a tug to better curl under it.

When Aziraphale had gotten the warm fuzzy blanket was a mystery. It was just, kind of there, at some point. The record playing softly in the background wasn't the usual playlist. Actually, it sounded like the Velvet Underground one the demon had back at home. Crowley's brow furrowed as his vision caught on his sunglasses perched on the black lacquered side table (not really the angel's aesthetic) next to a blue plant mister. On the windowsill behind was a small garden of verdant green that had somehow migrated from Crowley's flat. His eyes tracked to the next window to see the piece of driftwood they'd found during a beach holiday mounted above a sunning rock and succulents in a large terrarium. The window was south facing, therefore the sunniest and warmest; the Serpent's preferred napping spot when he wasn't interested in scaring off possible patrons. And he knew for a fact there was a spare black leather coat and a black trilby on Aziraphale's coat rack that did not belong the angel.

"Angel?"

Aziraphale hummed from the other end of the couch, nursing his own drink. "Yes, dear?"

"Am I resid...ris...moved into the shop?"

"Yup," he popped the 'p' indicating he was well into his cups.

"When?"

"Mm...bout the same time I moved into your flat, darling."

Crowley's lips pursed as he snuggled deeper into the plush throw. Now that he thought about it, ever since Apoca-nope Aziraphale had a blanket invitation to stay at the Mayfair flat. And every time the angel stayed over something invariably was left behind. First it was a stack of books next to Crowley's king sized bed. Then a dark wooden bookcase appeared next to the fireplace with little tchotchkes interspersed between old and new titles. A blue paisley throw now lived across the back of his modern couch (at least it wasn't tartan). A shiny electric kettle sat on the worktop next to his fancy espresso machine and the cabinet just above was filled with all manner of tea and cocoa. Delicate China teacups now shared space with coffee mugs. Hanging on hooks in the foyer were a lumpy tan cashmere cardigan and a white umbrella.

"...how did that happen?"

"Seemed only logi...logo...lig...the right thing to do."

"Why?"

"Hm, after we thwarted Arma...armadi...the big avocado I really couldn't bear to be away from you for too long. Or you from me for that matter."

"Oh."

"And then there was the pro...pre... engagement."

"Wot?"

Aziraphale waved his left hand around, an antique silver engagement ring set with small round cut sapphires winked at him like the angel's perfect eyes.

"Who?"

"Silly serpent. You and me."

Crowley wriggled his own hand out to see an ornate rose gold ring set with a large cushion cut black diamond.

"Are we playing 20 questions? How drunk are you?" The angel sighed and placed his own glass on the coffee table. "The only question you missed is 'Where?' so budge over."

"Huh?" But he complied.

"Where I want to be is cuddled up with you, and it's my turn to be the big spoon."

Crowley giggled as Aziraphale fitted himself behind the drunken demon. A soft arm wriggled its way under his neck and crooked at the elbow so an ethereal hand could play with copper locks. Crowley reached behind to pull Aziraphale's left hand across his chest in a lovely hug, his fingers fiddling with the cherub's ring.

"Now, we need to sober up and go home or rep...res...sleep here. Either way, stop asking stupid questions, love."

"Mm...alright. Love you, Angel."

End game

Like all Ed features, End Game is Haylor. (Ed, the O.G. Haylor MVP) it was written a few weeks after HS1 was released. Unlike other Rep songs that were revisited and have Joe references, even when they started before they met. In fact the film clip is overtly Haylor. (below) in the BTS (at 1:55) Taylor’s gets text with a scrabble move, she considers, says it is a 'tight game' and decides to leave the other player suspended. Ed blushes.

When OOTW was released Harry’s IG went B&W for 2 years until he started solo promo, apart from a few scrabble boards (in screaming colour) I have a theory he & Taylor played remotely which is why they are colour and she included this.

Here’s some footage of Joe playing scrabble. ….oh sorry, wait, that’s Harry Styles: fan of Scrabble and texting T Swift. Look at her here in the reputation book with the players names covered.. I wonder why lol

Timeline

Ed Sheeran said he wrote his part in a hotel room in New York. He told Audacy that he went to her RI home and heard Rep then the next day wrote it in a hotel in NY. 14 July 2017. (2 months after HS1’s release) (He was also at Taylors NY Apartment 7 March)

I was playing Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, she has a place in Rhode Island, which isn't too far so she hits me up I go around. She plays me what turned out to be Reputation and End Game and I was like man this is I really like, can I do a verse can I like do a rap verse and she was like yeah for sure. So the next day i kind of I remember I was in bed and sort of woke up and i got my laptop out but the song just looped it and I wrote wrote this verse and I went in with max martin who she did the song with and recorded it and then future the verse and then Taylor wrote a verse and then yeah we shot we shot a video".

Film Clip

The film clip is less subtle in being Haylor, it takes place in:

Miami, where HS and TS hung out at Courtney Cox's house

Tokyo, where HS went on a 1D break as his first trip overseas without the band

London, where Ed, HS and Joe all live.

Haylor Easter eggs:

0:04 the ferris wheel looks like the winding wheel.

0:21 she is a passenger in a car at night

0:44 she wears a very Harry Gucci Jumpsuit

0:48 there is a polaroid

1:10 she is a single kitten mother, except Olivia is in her Rep Era lol

1:20 the 1989 Rolling Stone shoot, now in the dark with fireworks.

2:09 Taylor 'A' Swift wears an "A" shirt see: Harry's A tattoo. (When asked Harry said "uh... for my mum" which Louis said "No it's not not it's for a mystery blonde" (2:40)

2:39 she wears the Red/WANGBT hat and cane. She also wears the jacket from her red rolling stone cover.

3:13 there are 2 white bird statues that look like his chest tattoos.

3.30 she references the 1D One Thing MV bus scene

3:43 she visits this kebab shop, a similar one with a made up but similar name is in the 1D midnight memories MV. This tik tok is also about this being an ex’s kebab shop

Lyrics

I wanna be your endgame, endgame Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah And you heard about me, ooh I got some big enemies (yeah) Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we'd be a big conversation, ah

HS and TS have both had big reputations as long as they’ve know each other. Now both A-listers dating is a much bigger conversation than one dating anyone else. Her enemies of Scooter and the Kanye are relevant to the music industry.

I don't wanna touch you (I don't wanna be) Just another ex-love (you don't wanna see) I don't wanna miss you (I don't wanna miss you) Like the other girls do

New Years Day Taylor sings “Please don't ever become a stranger, Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere”.

I don't wanna hurt you (I just wanna be) Drinkin' on a beach with (you all over me)

Harry Styles Debut was released May 2017, 6 months before Rep. Harry told Radio 1 he had played it for Ed earlier. The album lays out a lot of hurt between them Taylor may not have known about in that detail. Drinking, beaches and being all over each other are solid Haylor themes, see Video.

I hit you like, "Bang" We tried to forget it, but we just couldn't

Haylor hit like a bang, they met in march, were together almost immediately, he had multiple tattoos that reference her by May and they both had new albums with songs they still perform about each other by October and November. Toe were friends for a long time first and were not yet public.

Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me And I can't let you go, your handprint's on my soul It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold You've been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks So here's the truth from my red lips

There’s a lot of Haylor references here:

They told you I was crazy, I swear I don’t love the drama is a reference to 1989’s Blank Space

I can’t let you go, Handprints on my soul fits is a theme in 1989, MMIH, Stockholm syndrome, ready for it?, Harry’s House.

The truth from my red lips refers to Style, Two Ghosts and other lip related lyrics.

Finally Taylor uses gold to describe HS in Gold Rush: “Everybody wants you, But I don't like a gold rush, What must it be like, to grow up that beautiful?”

[isaks-even]

i feel like lately our eyes have been opened to so many parallel universe possibilities like

an entirety new character can be s2 & wlw main - cris (skamesp)

isak can be parallel even & vice versa - possibly canon isak with mental illness (druck)

more rep is possible and always welcome like poc!noora season with liv (skamnl) and ger!even aka david played by poc trans actor (druck)

lesbian!eskild (skam austin)

william can be likeable - alexander (druck)

the struggles and importance of being kind to your mentally ill!mother - mamma rametta (skamit)

the straight roommate can also be your main emotional support - manon (skamfr)

lucas coming out in a vlog (skamesp)

your friends reactions to your coming out can be negative at first (skamfr) doesn't make it more or less realistic than other remakes' versions tho

real time experience can be taken to the next level: it can be filmed & aired live from pride (skamesp)

why not make a friends to lovers!evak version rip my expectations for eliott as a true member of the boy squad (skamfr)

[evswiftie]

Taylor, thank you so much for being YOU. If it weren’t for YOU being so comfortable to share your life through music and being so unapologetically you and so amazing and kind and sweet and such an amazing role model, gabby and I wouldn’t have came to know you, we would have came to have the same common interest; YOU. Because of you I have such an amazing person in my life; gabby. She’s everything I ever wanted in a best friend and more. She’s SO there for me, she’s lifted me up when I was so down, she’s made me laugh and cry in joy and and we’ve made so many memories through hundreds of face times over the last five years of our friendship and made vacation memories. Even with living in literal opposite ends of the country; we still find a way to see eachother. I can’t stop thinking about all the memories her and I have made (meeting at 1989 gillete, rep tour Nash and NYC 2019) and I just wanted to show you our most recent vacation together! I flew over from Seattle to the east coast to spend a week with her for her birthday week. I’m forever mesmerized by NYC, CT and RI. It was so incredibly amazing to finally get to see these places I’ve always only dreamed of seeing. And I’m forever grateful for the friendship that Your music brought us. I’m only me when I’m with you xoxo @how-lovely-indeed @taylorswift long live summer vacation 2019 🥺🌞thank you Taylor, thank you gabby for being so good to me.

Advice for Parents about @taylorswift

NEVER EVER EVER make a promise that since they weren't able to go to the concert you have just returned home from, that you will make sure they get to go see her next show for her next album.

The reason is, you think @taylorswift will do a tour. You think she will come either to Charlotte, Atlanta, or somewhere from Tennessee to Florida. You KNOW it will be expensive but you think you'll have about 2 whole years or more before the next album is released after the previous one. You think that means that by the time tickets go on sale, you will undoubtedly have planned and saved, because you KNOW they will be expensive.

What you don't plan on, what I DID NOT PLAN ON, was that @taylorswift would only play 4 US shows and the CLOSEST one is 13 hours & 56 minutes away  (900.8 miles away from my house) and the other being 35 hours (2,362.2 miles away from my house). So you think, "ok, I'm from Newport, RI and have family all over Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and most of New England, so I can still make this work. So you sign up for the Foxborough show and since you had to chose 2 different cities((if you wanted a back up, you could not choose the same city or your back up would be ignored, per Ticketmaster))you chose the California show thinking it would be a worst case scenario. You have hope because you learn you'll be in the same place as you were as the previous pre-sale for the REP tour on the Verified Fan pre-sale. You RSVP, you register, you read all the tips to make it go seamless like it did when you bought your REP tickets. Except, your Husband is literally 6,888 miles away this time deployed in Kuwait with a 7 hour time difference. Meaning it's really hard to talk about live events as they happen. Last time, he was in the living room. You also did not anticipate it would happen on Monday, the day you had a parent teacher meeting at 4, and a Scout's den meeting at 6:30, where you get a text saying you need like 10 things for a "hike" so you have to run around getting the things you don't already have. All the while trying to keep your eye on the Queue. Only to get home and lay in bed until it was my turn to look for tickets, to then get a message saying the pre-sale was over and tickets for your preferred show were sold out or not on sale anymore. So you literally are up, fighting with your Husband until 4 am, to end up with nose bleed seats for the California show for $600 before Insurance. And now, you have to figure out how to get there and that will be about another $2-3,000 IF we are lucky. So now, you are ate up with guilt because realistically you can't afford this, but you also are a Mother who cries everytime you think of having to tell your @taylorswift OBSESSED son that YOU broke your promise.

Yes. He will get over it if I sell them, which I will have to because California is too far away. But, at 5 years old he will not understand how his Mom who has made everything happen, even the things kids think are impossible like Superman coming to a Birthday party, he will not understand why I couldn't make this happen and why it's ok for me to break pinky promises or any promise when he gets in trouble for doing so.

So long story short, do not EVER promise your kids big things like this. He's 5 and will be 6 in March which is 5 months away, he will remember this let down, perhaps even as his 1st big let down. And I did it. I'm crying as I write this because it breaks me.

@taylorswift said during her Tiny Desk concert for @npr that song writing is cathartic for her and it helps her to process emotions. I am not a master of the craft but I do write little poems and other stuff when I'm overwhelmed and that's what this post is. It is not for pity. It is not asking for a handout(I did think about starting a Go Fund Me, but then instantaneously realized the ridiculousness of it). This is expression of one of the most complex times of my life. And no one close to me understands. They all say I'm crazy if I spend that much for him to go. He will forget about it, no he won't. He's wanted this for 2 years and has asked at least twice a week if we are going. I've posted videos of him falling asleep to the Lover album so @taylorswift or "His Taylor Swift" sees that he knows them. I only know if one group of people who will understand and it's you, the SWIFTIES. You guys get it, ESPECIALLY the OG's who now have kids who are swifties and you want to share that magic with them. Because we can all admit, a @taylorswift concert is magical.

Sorry for the long post, thank you.

'Trolley' Park Hee-soon proposes to Kim Hyun-joo..

Park Hee-soon proposed to Kim Hyun-joo.

In the 10th episode of SBS 'Trolley' (directed by Kim Moon-gyo/played by Ryu Bo-ri), which aired at 10 pm on the 17th, a conversation between Kim Hye-joo (Kim Hyun-joo) and Nam Jung-do (Park Hee-soon) was drawn.

On this day's broadcast, Kim Hye-joo told Nam-jung-do not to overdo it, and Nam-jung-do asked Kim Hye-ju if a used car was okay. Kim Hye-joo said, "I like used cars," and added, "It's even better because Secretary Choi's father works on used cars."

Namjung-do affectionately said to Kim Hye-joo, “You did well,” and said, “Then I will return,” and Kim Hye-joo hugged and comforted Nam-jung-do. The two exchanged affectionate glances, and Namjungdo immediately left the house.

Namjungdo immediately met Jang Woo-jae (played by Kim Moo-yeol). Jo Gwi-soon (played by Won Mi-won) served her meal, telling the two of them to eat breakfast. To the two eating, Gwi-soon Cho said, "I'm not completely relaxed yet, but please use this old man to your heart's content."

Previously, Jang Woo-jae visited Cho Gwi-soon separately and suggested, "You heard that her granddaughter is a victim, but the perpetrator committed suicide, so you heard a bad story." To Nam Jung-do, who was surprised, Jo Gwi-soon said, "Please fix that bastard's law instead." In response, Namjungdo said, “I promise you.”

On the other hand, Jin Seung-hee (played by Ryu Hyeon-kyung) told Choi Ki-young (played by Ki Tae-young), "I'll take the bus after you do your business, so go down first." Choi Ki-young said, "Where are you going?" Then, Jin Seung-hee said, "I will go to Kim Jae-eun and call him a murderer in front of everyone."

Choi Ki-young said, "Really why?" and she said, "It shouldn't be like that." Then, Jin Seung-hee said, "My family is having such a hard time because of Kim Jae-eun's lie, but Kim Jae-eun seems to be living a normal life, so I can't see him even if I die."

When Choi Ki-young sighed, Jin Seung-hee said, "I am your family, so why don't you trust me?" Then Choi Ki-young said, "Let's go to Australia" and "Let's just throw everything away and leave."

However, Jin Seung-hee said, "I'm sorry, but I can't leave her mother alone." After that, Choi Ki-young called Nam Joong-do. Choi Ki-young said, "I want to give evidence of land speculation by my mother-in-law and Rep. Kang Soon-hong (Jang Gwang-bun)," she said, raising tension. Nam Seung-do, who received the information, immediately went to Kang Soon-hong.

Returning home, Namjoong-do told Kim Hye-joo, "Jin Seung-hee's uncle, Rep. Kang Soon-hong, found out that you were my wife." Nam Joong-do said to Kim Hye-joo, "Let's just reveal it to you first." "The evidence you gave me today was correct, but I don't believe Choi Ki-young, and it could be that he was arguing with Kang Soon-hong and hitting me in the back of the head."

Then she said, "Even if Choi Ki-young is on our side, there is Kim Seung-hee and her mother in that house." But Kim Hye-joo said, "You don't know how painful it is to hear that someone died because of me." Nam Joong-do said, "I killed that medical student, why don't I know?" and said, "I will trust you and wait."
