Tumblr media
You fiddle with the hem of the black mesh panties of the matching set you had bought earlier on in the day. Denki should be home any minute. No doubt he’ll be a little out of it from work, but honestly? That might just work in your favour. Confidence hasn’t always been your strong suit, although since whatever this is between you and Famous Pro Hero Chargebolt started, it’s improved quite a bit. Being around him is like listening to an audiobook of Ulysses on repeat, as if he’s thinking out loud.
You shiver as you sit on the armchair in your apartment. Maybe this is too much, you think to yourself. Just as the thought crosses your mind to put on a pair of jeans and a sweater, Denki’s key slides into the lock. Well fuck, it’s now or never. You steel yourself in the few seconds you have before he opens the door and hope he can’t see from across the room how your heart feels like it’s beating out of your chest.
“Heeeeell-” he starts. “Oh,” he finishes quietly, drinking in your form. He’s not subtle about eyeing the way the rose appliques tastefully cover your nipples. You swallow, and put on a figurative brave face.
“Long day?” you ask.
“Y-yeah, uh huh,” he answers, distracted by the way the elastic of your panties pinches the soft flesh of your hips.
“Thought... “ you clear your throat and reset yourself. “I thought you could use something to relieve some stress after your patrol.”
“Yup, sure,” he says, eyes trailing down to your thighs. He licks his lips.
“You’re not hearing a word I say, are you?”
“Nope,” he confirms. “Gimme.” Denki kicks his shoes off at the door and makes to take you by the waist. Hands gliding along your sides, he leans in to kiss you. You pull back. A sly smirk tugs at your lips.
“Ah, ah. I don’t think so,” you tut. Denki raises an eyebrow. “On the couch.” The order feels foreign in your mouth. Not a bad foreign, though. More like the first bite of a French macaron. To your surprise, the blond man obeys without question. “Gonna have to earn it.”
He watches, eyes wide, as you settle yourself on his lap, straddling his thigh. You take his wrists in your hands and hold them above his head. Your lips rove from his jaw, down his neck, down to his chest, leaving a trail of kisses and bites in their wake.
“What do you say, baby?” you ask.
“Y-yes, god yes, p-please,” he chokes out, pupils blown wide.
“Please, what?” you lead, slowly grinding against his thigh.
“Please let me earn it. Please, P-Princess, let me be a good boy for you,” he groans. You ghost your fingers over his clothed cock and feel it twitch under your touch.
“So eager already, and for what?” you say smugly. You release his hands and climb off of his lap. “Pants. Off. Now,” you demand.
“Y-yes, Princess!” Denki scrambles to unbuckle the utility belt of his hero costume. There’s nothing deft about his movement, not an ounce of grace left in the man. He tosses his pants and belt on the chair across the room and sits as he was again.
“Good boy,” you coo. You find your place on his lap again and grind down. He hisses at the friction of your knee nudging his balls through his boxers as you move. Your lips part and a soft moan falls from them. Denki’s hands drift down to your hips, unconsciously guiding them as he stares at the wet patch forming on your panties. You tap his cheek lightly twice and stop moving.
“Up here, baby,” you say, guiding his hands to your chest. Greedily, he takes your breasts in his hands, massaging and playing with them as if he’s never gotten the chance to before. “Flex your thigh for me, won’t you? That’s a good boy,” you sigh, leaning forward and rocking your clit against your roommate. At any other time if he had you like this, he’d tease you for acting like a bitch in heat, making you edge for him. The thought of turning the tables on him is delicious. You suck a dark spot on his neck to bite back a groan that Denki can feel in his throat as you cum. He runs his fingers through your hair, the softness of his touch making you lean into his hands.
“I wanna see you do that again,” he whispers.
“I’m not here to care about what you want,” you murmur back sweetly. For the first time this afternoon, you glide your hand up and down his clothed shaft. His hips buck up, sending you closer to his face. You bump your head against his, and giggle.
“You okay, Princess?” He kisses your forehead.
“Mhm, I’m fine, don’t worry.” You give him a chaste kiss on the lips. “Floor, please, baby,” you say, standing to let him follow your command. As he goes to sit on the floor you disappear from his view for a moment, only to return with your favourite toy. It’s thick, and a transparent yellow that reminds you of Kaminari’s electric hero persona. Your panties on the floor, your legs spread, and your roommate’s face the most delectable, deep shade of pink, you have everything where you want it.
Keeping your eyes locked onto Denki, you slide your hand between your open legs and rub your clit lightly once, twice, three times… You watch as his eyes follow your fingers. You slide your middle finger from the bottom of your slit to the top. Denki chokes on a groan seeing the string of your essence connecting your pussy to your finger when you pull away.
“Wanna touch, please, Princess. Can I taste? Y’look so delicious,” he begs.
“If you’re good and patient, baby,” you promise. You guide the dildo into yourself and bite your lip. Inch by agonizingly slow inch you take the toy up to the base. By the time you’re able to move it, your head’s thrown back and you’re only barely aware of Denki watching your every move with bated breath. Each time he goes to touch himself, he mentally swats away his own hand. Even when you’re in your own little world, he wants to be a good boy for you.
It’s not long until your second orgasm hits you. Your hips lift off of the couch and you whimper with a breath you didn’t know you were holding. The overstimulation of fucking yourself past your climax makes you mewl. Your eyes flutter open and you see Denki staring at you, jaw dropped. You run your thumb against your clit and groan. After all the hard work he puts in as a hero, you think he deserves a bit of a show.
“W-was so good, didn’t touch myself at all or nothing,” he pants. “Lemme taste you, please. I-I wanna taste you so bad, need it, please!” You nod. He scrambles to his feet and picks you up. “Wanna be comfy when I make you feel good,” he says, carrying you to his bedroom. He lays you down gingerly. “Can I take my clothes off?”
“Go ahead,” you affirm.
Within seconds Denki’s naked, lying on his stomach between your legs. With his tongue broad and flat, he licks a long stripe up your cunt. He moans into your skin.
“Taste so good, Princess. Better when you make me wait,” he mumbles. Another stroke of his tongue like the first, then a third before he delves into your hole. He brings his hand up around your thigh and flicks his thumb over your sensitive nub.
“F-fuck,” you whine. “S-such a good boy for me.” Denki whimpers at your praise, the vibrations going straight to your core. A loud moan escapes your lips. You lace your fingers in his hair and tug lightly. Hand firmly at the back of his head, you guide his lips to your clit. He seals them around it and sucks with a gentle hunger. His tongue flicks against you desperately.
“L-look at you, humping the mattress l-like a bitch in heat,” you tease, using his own words against him. “Gonna cum for me, baby boy?”
He nods into your sex, the extra friction making you choke out a sob. You feel yourself reaching the familiar precipice.
“C’mon baby, just a little more, just a -- j-just like that just like that!” you cry. Denki slides two large fingers into your velvet walls and curls them just right, the way that has you coming undone on him in seconds. He chokes out a sob as he cums, staining the sheets of his bed with white. He takes his time lazily cleaning up the evidence of your pleasure, peppering kisses along your thighs, to your hips, up your tummy, your chest, and finally ending with a tender kiss to your lips.
“Gonna have to wear that more often, sweetheart,” he murmurs, a grin plastered across his face. “I’ll be your good boy if you’ll be mine.”
“If I’ll be your what?” you ask, breathless. He places a sweet kiss on your nose.
“Just mine.”

Thoughts on GP's Autant en emporte le vent?
Such good timing, anon, because lately I’ve been wanting to re-watch it, it’s been years since I’ve first seen it; but I’d like a version with at least French subs and I haven’t found that yet, damn it. Working off on purely memory, though, apart from a few ear-catching bangers (I still remember Nous n’sommes pas, and Putain), it is so much weaker than his RetJ, definitely, both music and story. I do recall being impressed with Laura Presgurvic as Scarlett; I know a lot of people hate her vibrato, but I did not mind it, as she overall did suit the role in both looks and acting, and her thin voice was even fitting (also, Ashley really does suit Cyril Niccolaï better than any role he has done so far; it’s sort of eerie). The rest of the cast, some of whom went on to the Revival RetJ, worked better in this one, I feel.
As far as the adaptation goes, this is probably the best musical adaptation of this beast of a novel, hitting on the most important aspects of the story and even giving the slaves more a voice; no thoughtless hero-worshipping of the flawed material, good. Presgurvic has an odd talent of adapting otherwise difficult or unconventional works for music in such a way that captures the spirit of the original work while discarding or deemphasizing the rest that do not work; it’s something not all composers know how to do. Had it had a better score it could have been something.
But yeah, this is definitely the Midsummer Night’s Dream/Twelfth Night to Presgurvic’s R&J (ha)/Hamlet—an auxiliary work that has some strong moments but that is a pale shadow of the better hit.

They're both such good concepts
She's a lesbian, Harold
She only had a crush on Clay bc he was pretty much everything she was supposed to like in a guy
Gimme a moment while I force all my mental disorders onto this poor child
Autistic, Anxiety (Social anxiety, mainly, but she has most types), Adhd, PTSD
I'd like to reiterate yet again that She's a lesbian
Sunny and Glory were her gay awakening
Peril in Book 1: Damn, Sunny and Glory sure are pretty. Anyone would be lucky to date them. Clay would probably go for them over me. He would be stupid if he didn't. I myself would willingly date them over someone like me. They're just so pretty :(
Peril waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of arc 2: WAIT-
Rarepair alert but Peril/Sora
Peril meeting Sora: "Hmmm She's attractive. I would love to date her. Too bad I'm straight and in love with her brother lmao :P"
Peril, a mere month later, waiting for Ruby to leave Jade Mountain, pacing in her cave, running face first into a wall: WAIT-
I remember reading this one amazing story where Sora taught Peril to read/write and Peril found out she set off the bomb and comforted her/convinced her her run so that's canon now
Btw if anyone can remember what that story was called/what platform it was on and could tell me I'd appreciate it very much
I'd even be willing to draw a character of your's or make you an icon or something
I usually don't accept requests bc I get burnt out easy but this is a special case
She runs into Sora again sometime between the beginning of TOP and the end
I like to imagine she just goes wandering around
Anyway she confesses like a mere few minutes after running into her again bc Peril is just subtle like that
The actual confession takes 15 minutes and the entire time Sora is just sitting here like "👁👄👁 sure"
Bam Peril/Sora
Peril plans to keep it a secret for a little while longer but she spends 3 seconds around Clay and pretty much blurts it out
Clay, who wasn't even aware that Peril was a lesbian, is just "👁👄👁"
I wanna say Clay doesn't know what a lesbian is but in my canon Sunny is a lesbian so Starflight has already told him
Anyway he's super supportive
From that point Peril is sorta open about her sexuality?
Like, she gives Clay permission to tell the rest of the D.O.D bc she isn't about to risk being in front of them when they hear the news
(When Sunny starts actively seeking her out as a hang out buddy and Tsunami, Glory, and Starflight appear to tolerate her presence just a bit more afterwards she pretends she isn't confused by the change)
She's pink, white, and blue bc I said so
If you look at a certain angle in the right lighting her eyes, mouth, fire, and under her scales all look purple
But her fire is normally white and blue bc I said so
Also she pale as fuck bc in my canon their fire just sorta burns their colour away
You know how you leave something outside for too long and it gets sunbleached? Where it gets all washed out?
Like that but more extreme
By the age of 10-12 firescale dragons are just white with pale eyes
That's right not even the eyes are safe
Ram horns :P
I'm also fond of Peril/Sunny
Or maybe Peril/Sora/Sunny
But Peril/Sora is the main thing
On the topic of that bringing in my hc that if one sib in a sib group is fire resistant all of them are
She,,, She can change her scale colour
But only slightly and only if her emotions are strong enough
Bc I don't give a fuck about Darkstalker's scroll we were robbed of hybrid Peril
Unfortunately all of Peril's emotions are strong
Rainwing ruff along her head and neck
It's like a hood
It's mainly smoothed to her sides but when she's startled it flares out
RAINWING PUPILS
Y'all will know what those look like as soon as I get off my ass :P
She,,, She can mimic bird cries
Hates the summer
She has more than enough body heat already and the outside is just hot enough to add on and make her feel sick
She can somewhat control her heat but most of the time it's based on her emotions
It can go from standing-in-the-middle-of-a-burning-building-cant-see-your-nose-smoke-is-so-thick heat (Strong emotion) to Hey-thats-a-nice-cozy-campfire heat (Calm/"weak" emotion/Sleeping)
I'm just gonna make a different post with all my Peril hcs cuz there isnt enough room for all of them here

7/16/2021 - other stuff:
I started translating the simplified print version of Guardian that has additional scenes! I am not sharing it yet, but may in the future at some point. (Notes for future reference: taking a picture in good light with the page flat, depending on if needed upping contrast so its darker/lighter in photos, then opening in OCR in Pleco works pretty well at converting the text to digital so I can make notes and edit and look up words more easily. Also so far 1 page takes 1 hour to translate roughly so keep that in mind ToT).
I am yet again tempted to to a full on Listening Reading Method ‘test run.’ By that I mean: picking a novel, (step 1) reading in english, (step 2) reading in chinese with chinese audio (repeating as needed), (step 3) reading in english with chinese audio (repeating as needed), (step 4) listening to audio only. Yes I’m still debating if I’d do step 3, then step 2 - since I tend to flip which I do first depending on the day. Also debating if I ‘prep’ first by listening only (I could call it step 0). Also still debating if I’d do instead: step 0 listen only, step 1, step 2, step 3, ~step 2 again~, step 4 listen only. Basically I did tiny tests with The Little Prince, and I’ve done 20 chapters of Guardian so far (which did help) but Guardian is so long I end up varying how I do it each day into whatever way gets me TO do it and Guardian is so long it will be months until I know what ‘completing a book’ is like for the process. The original forum creator of L-R Method would do like 3-6 hour books or like 10 hour books. Guardian is... much longer. Also, if I pick a book both harder than The Little Prince (so there’s more vocab to learn) and easier than Guardian (so I can get to a natural listening stage faster) I wonder how much progress I’d make. Right now books I am considering for a ‘test method’ run are: Harry Potter 1 (simply because someone made parallel text with audiobook videos already so it is super convenient to do L-R Method, also the book has  2600 unique characters and 7700 unique words so I would likely reinforce my hanzi knowledge and learn maybe a couple hundred more, and likely increase my vocabulary by several hundred to a couple thousand depending on how much I focus, I’m fairly sure I can blow through it quickly the only limiting factor is like The Little Prince I am not sure if the reading level is low enough that I may not pick up significant amounts of new words compared to how many I pick up from Guardian - https://youtu.be/NLu0JW6VtGM). Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of Baskervilles (the book is 7.5 hours so not nearly as long as Guardian, I could probably L-R Method it in 2 weeks, the novel is written for adults and a mystery genre so genre-words I may find more useful to me while also probably having a bigger vocabulary than The Little Prince,  P74 巴斯克维尔的猎犬 01 audiobook - https://youtu.be/hDKfUjienKA, full playlist of the sherlock audiobooks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1QFMgv0n_Y&list=PLVyDH2ns1F757P-m8MHckuIFqWapl6y-1, and bilinguis.com has a parallel text which I am checking if it matches the audiobook - http://bilinguis.com/book/baskerville/zh/en/c1/). Bonus, just one day I’d love to test it with Alice in Wonderland in French since bilinguis.com has an audiobook and parallel text - http://bilinguis.com/book/alice/fr/en/c3/. Or Le Francais Par Le Methode Nature, since that also now has audio and text and one day I’d like to finish reading it - https://youtu.be/0uS5WSeH8iM.
Fun fact: I am listening to P74 巴斯克维尔的猎犬 01 (by  知识改变命运 ) in the background right now and the first thing I hear is “qinai watson” my dear watson ok. ok sherlock i see you. ToT. Aside from that I just keep hearing random words I know. If you plan to listen to a chinese sherlock audiobook though - I do recommend this playlist. I’ve found a few sherlock audiobooks and for some the audio is very rough like it was recorded from the radio, whereas this one is fairly clear and the reader speaks very clearly, and has a rhythm to sentences (which for me personally helps me listen easier and parse out words). So if you know some words they are much easier to hear, and if you are looking at the parallel text I linked on bilinguis it is quite easy to follow along. 
I really want to get into the habit of some extensive reading with audiobooks (as in reading while listening) just because it speeds up my reading, and I pick up some words in reading while practicing listening. Its also somewhat doable, whereas just listening I may often get lost unless I know the material well. Last night I read chapter 1 of MoDu while playing the audiobook and following along - obviously I did not read as in depth as if I’d have done L-R Method and looked up all unknown words with pop-up english. But combined listening comprehension and reading comprehension I understood ENOUGH to follow the plot and keep reading, at a faster pace than if I only was extensively reading and at a much better comprehension than if I only listen. (My listening comprehension is a bit better if I’ve read the text beforehand, but that’s sort of artificial since i prepped by reading the text beforehand). Yes, I learn new hanzi better with slower extended reading where I have time to really slow down and look at the new hanzi a lot. But I’d like to aim for quantity of materials read for a while? I’d if simply reading more will help, but a lot of the general advice seems to be the more extensive reading you do where you can follow the main points the more you will improve. And hey, maybe that applies to simply ‘listening a lot more’ too?
A lot of articles I’ve found recently emphasize repeated listening, and I want to try to include that more in how I study. While I might not do it as intensively as some articles suggest, I can definitely continue to do it in Clozemaster and continue playing audiobooks of chapters I’ve read already (so I can follow the audio ok) in my downtime. A LOT of my chinese study lately has not been active, its been mostly just ‘playing audio in the background.’ So since I’m not studying actively much, I might as well try to get in more listening.
I checked out the cdrama Forward Forever recently and opinions: if you understand basic chinese JUST watch it in chinese because wow are the english subs a hot mess ToT. I tried watching with subs and there were so many clear ‘wrong’ portions I just had to turn them off, they were made from google translate though so I’m not super surprised (but Xin Xiao Shi Yi Lang has much more decent auto-generated subs so ToT). I’m not sure if I’ll watch more or not, but I can definitely tell it was adapted from a BL source material with the way the main two guys are immediately set up as characters and then meet. I also want to check out Secret of the Three Kingdoms but I’ve seen like 3 minutes and I already am pretty aware I’ll probably like the show so much that I’ll want to put the english subs on for clarity. Secret of the Three Kingdoms feels Very well made.
If I was gonna try to summarize what my study plan has been this month:  - Listen-Reading Method Guardian (its going fine), with some experiments on the structure of the activity - translate some of Guardian (not really study as I’m pretty familiar w the chapters so just rereading things, mainly its translating practice) - Doing a few random things in japanese: read Guardian in japanese, play japanese video games a little bit, watch japanese-teaching video game example vids a bit (basically more tiny bits of japanese I’d add up to idk under 6 hours? just me glancing at things) - Reading this japanese grammar guide (I’m 1/3 through) - https://sakubi.neocities.org/ - Listen to various chinese audiobooks, with and without text. - Read various chinese chapters, with and without audio. - Listen/Read a bit of French, in Gigafrench (i truly mean a bit like a couple hours), Dracula (just listening) - some Clozemaster japanese, and a tiny bit of Clozemaster chinese (mainly to pick up stuff in japanese, and practice shadowing in both) So - some random chinese stuff reading/listening/L-R Method, some japanese exposure/grammar guide/clozemaster, a tiny bit of French (mainly listening practice). 
#july#july progress#we'll see if i actually do any 'test method' things lol#but i do like this sherlock audiobook the audio is very easy to listen to#i love mo du but it drives me !!! that the audiobook just randomly skips sentences and paragraphs and idk why#mainly i am just continuing L-R Method as my 'heavy study' because its working quite well tbh#i dont do it as fast as the creator of it suggested. but i do it. and it allows me to read Guardian which is something i enjoy#also as u can tell i've been trying to include more audio into my study - the more i include it the more i realize how much at least persona#lly my brain seems to remember things better with audio. particularly i've been testing it with Closemaster-japanese#and WOW does doing a listening focus improve my memory of words/comprehension of them#it helps too that my reading-guess abilities in japanese are relatively useful. so listening-focus when i study helps build up#the weaker areas i have in japanese - since i can vaguely follow writing but cannot understand pronunciations#chinese is. really peculiar to me from a learning perspective? i am picking up hanzi and words-sound wise but not necessarily at the same ti#time. like i'll remember one but then it takes a while for the other. depending on the word.#i do remember hanzi quite well though - their pronunciation takes a while. but their 'vague overall meaning' i remember after just a few#times of seeing them. i think its a combo of i learn well from context and compound words and radicals make a lot of sense to me#so like. reading in chinese i pick up faster overall in at least a vaguely-understood way. but listening wise its a bit different. again tho#for me hanzi are a ton easier than kanji. for me once i learn a hanzi i jave a pretty solid 'sound' it makes in my head#(so the only issue is temporarily before i fully associate its 'real' pronunciation. my mind has an approximate-guessed pronunciation#which is a temporary issue). but anyway so once i mostly-learned a hanzi. if i see it i can hear it in my head#(in fact i NEED to hear words in my head or its harder to learn them. idk why. my mind will make UP a pronunciation if i dont know one lol)#so like. kanji are SO much harder because i will see them and immediately either hear: the chinese pronunciation. or one of the few japanese#readings for that kanji i know (which may not be correct). and it results in a lot of wrongly-connected sounds to japanese kanji for a while#which is a bigger concern for me in japanese. (whereas in chinese i know its a matter of quickly looking up the hanzi#pronunciation and then i can correct the mistake ANY time i see the hanzi again#and my 'guess' pronunciation sometimes was close already since i have radicals to help guess)#whereas with japanese kanji. one guess may have very little to do with a new words pronunciation. so it leads to me accidentally connecting#wrong-pronunciations to a lot of words i can read but cant hear. and then mistakenly keep reinforcing the wrong-pronunciation in my head for#much longer...

June 24, 2020: 8:41 pm: A generalized look at what is happening, and what took place to get us into this predicament.
I want to try to put things into a basic nutshell with information that just only touches the turning points with regard to where the terror coup Global Domination take-over began, how it grew, and how I see the history of what I have been calling #SAGcoup, from just after it's beginnings in World War Two, to where we are today. I'll start with the Diary of Ann Frank.
The Diary of Ann Frank is an important document with regard to the US involvement in World War Two. 1970's US Public School education taught students that the Diary was used, considered, and then acted upon, by the president of USA, Theodore Roosevelt. US School students were taught the the Diary was the single most important contributing factor for US involvement in World War Two. After consideration, I feel the document is false. I see that it is more likely to have been a lure, to get USA involved in a war far from home. A Humanitarian effort, and effort to keep that kind of Nazi oppression from gaining momentum in the world.
I am not a historian, and don't know much about that war, I only start there, because it makes sense to start there with explaining where we are today. It might be beneficial to leave that out of an explanation of circumstance, for fear of having the explaining that I do, viewed as false. I am only trying to get some help, no help comes, the things I explain are things that happen, are as true as my eyes and ears will allow me to understand them, and the time it has taken to learn what I explain in order to get help, has included much eye-witness of mass murder, and thousands of attempts to kill me, because of the information presented here. With that, I maintain that the Diary of Ann Frank is an important place for more qualified historians to reconsider with regard to it's intended purpose. So the next place I want to skip forward to, is the attack at Pearl Harbor Hawaii. That is where things may be easier to see truth. Since I am not a historian or war expert, I don't have much to say about that attack. What I do have to say, is I also believe what we are told, is false. You will need photographic reference materials that were published from as close to the time of the attack at Pearl Harbor as is possible, to see the truth. The Japanese Zero's, were fitted with Mercedes Benz engines. They were not Japanese airplanes. They were other, European manufacture aircraft, and were modeled after the Japanese Zero.
I propose that the reason none of the US Navy boats made it out of the harbor, is because all indications were that the only vessels in range of radio communications, patrols, and radar, were “friendly” vessels. I propose that the “friendly” vessels is where the “Zero's” came from. I further propose that the US Navy was in contact with the “friendly” vessels, and there was no apparent threat from them. The attack came from European “friendly's”. The Zero's were powered by Mercedes Benz engines, and that much can be seen in old photographic evidence of the attack. There are a number of photographs of crashed “Zero's”, and their engines contained in US Public School books that were in circulation in the 1970's. I have seen them, and they are clearly Mercedes Benz engines. After the attack, the retaliation on Japan from USA was in the form of basically one bomb, that Hiroshima Hydrogen bomb. USA stopped short of annihilating Japan. Why was the USA response limited to one bomb? The attack, if from Japan, should have warranted a more comprehensive response in my opinion. Nothing less than complete elimination of all of the controlling government, and it's military forces is what should have occurred if USA truly believed that it indeed was an attack at Pearl Harbor from Japan. I say, the truth about the Zero's being fake was known by US Military command, just at the point of the detonation of that hydrogen bomb, and USA stopped short of destroying Japan completely because of knowing the truth, at least in part. Who made the fake Zero's, and who specifically was responsible for the Pearl Harbor attack, was still an unanswered question. So far, I told about a false document that was designed intentionally as a lure to get USA into a European war, on their turf. I have told you about fakery, by Europeans, to blame Japan, for an attack on a US Navy base on Hawaii. Now, I want to fast forward to 1962. John F. Kennedy is shot to death on live television during a parade, while riding in a convertible Lincoln Continental. The Lincoln Continental Convertible is more important then anyone has ever publicly considered. I will just remind you of the importance of symbolism, and move on with the generalization of circumstances of Global Domination efforts of European origin. There was a parade, a US President. There were television cameras everywhere, the news networks knew of the route ahead of time. There was a shooter. The US Presidents head was rolling around on the trunk of a Lincoln Continental Convertible on live television during a parade. There was a magic bullet, a warehouse, and a grassy knoll.
There was another shooter, that shot the shooter, that shot John.
Symbolism on television news:
Warehouse = Coup
Grassy Knoll = Grass
“Coup de Gras”
From Google: Coup de grâce. A French phrase meaning blow of mercy, that is, a final killing blow that puts a fatally wounded person out of his misery; used to mean the action or event that finally destroys or ends something.
Now, with the murder of John F. Kennedy, on television and live on a parade, I offer this to sum up how it fits into the other parts of this generalization, where the Diary of Ann Frank is false, is a lure into a European war on their turf, and an attack on a US Navy base, when the Navy was never able to get into a defensive position, because there was no perceived enemy anywhere to be found, and the response to the attack, was far less then what it should have been if Japan indeed was the offensive party. Enter Britain, at some point after the attack at Pearl Harbor, and before the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Make some assumptions here. Do a “Quantum Leap” to find truth. Historians may be able to find further, more compelling and evident history to support a notion that Britain is behind the fakery, has always been behind it, and Britain still feels that USA belongs to Britain, discounting anything that occurred post Boston Tea Party. “The Brit's feel that they are the rightful owners of USA”, is the kind of Quantum Leap that is necessary to get at truth.
So, with that, and at some point after Peal Harbor attack and before the JFK parade spectacle, make an assumption that the Brit's made an alliance with the US News Media Networks. The Brit's shared their plans of Global Domination with US News Media executives, and made an offer. “Prove that you are able to handle the task, and we will grant you equal controlling share in the resulting domination efforts” Something like that was offered to US Network News Media. US News Media Networks were not amused by this speech:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-AZV3qnwkA They agreed to prove themselves to Britain in exchange for equal share in the controlling parties of “Global Domination Under the Cross”, which is the direction the advance of Global take-over efforts were drawn from, same as they ever have been, a Christian Crusade of “global cleansing”. US News Media Networks arranged the Jacqueline Onassis would murder John F. Kennedy during a parade on live television, and they used Marilyn Monroe as the catalyst in order to convince Jacqueline that John was cheating on her, with Marilyn. “US News Media US President Live Television Murder on a Parade w/Lincoln Continental Convertible”, was a success. US News Media, proved their worth, to Britain. So, now Britain, had gained the strength of the backbone of every US household's main source of information, and entertainment, the television. Britain shared the secret weapon with the entire US News Media, and the whole Screen Actor Guild Union, and all of its sub unions was at the command of Britain, with the secret weapon, Nitrous Oxide. Britain, with full blown global take-over and domination in mind, and with a thousand years of knowledge about the power of music, enlisted the Vatican Choir, in the form of “Rock & Roll Music”. The Brits invented Rock & Roll, and used it as a means to enter the US entertainment arena. The British Invasion of 1964 was more than a musical one. It was the beginnings of a command language, and served as an excuse to travel across the Atlantic, for business in the entertainment industries, for the purpose of planting British and Vatican operatives throughout USA into positions in the entertainment industries.
New York, where the transatlantic flights need to land first, provided that Broadway was established as a base of operations. Midway, Nashville Tennessee became a command center. In Hollywood, the brass of the offensive British/Vatican war machine was installed. It was 1964.
Plans, language, and agreements were made.
Britain began to secretly train Canadians for a terror attack on USA, and by 1970, the Canadian terror army was ready.
With the help from US News media, the attacking army began to decent from the skies, in the San Fernando Valley California.
They came by parachute, one adult, and one child per parachute, thousands of them, armed with nitrous oxide, and swords. They hit the ground in metropolitan parts of the San Fernando Valley, waited at the traffic lights, and when the traffic stopped for the red light, the terror soldiers murdered the drivers, at the stop lights, and disappeared into the San Fernando Valley with the vehicles that belonged to the people they killed at the traffic lights. The terror soldiers simply took the victims cars, to the addresses listed on the victims drivers licenses, and went to those addresses with the cars that belong there.
They killed as they needed for cover at the address where the vehicle owner lived. Many thousands of tandem paratropping terror soldiers from Canada descended, armed,  trained to kill, to find a vehicle, find a home, and blend in to the population of San Fernando Valley California.
The air-raid sirens howled for two weeks. No help ever came. Then, there were no more air-raid sirens. The terror soldiers turned them off. It was 1971.
News media in Hollywood covered the advance of the terror soldiers with silence and confusion tactics to fool public safety personnel, and aided the terror soldiers to take over West Valley Police Precinct right away.
Police station take-over was the immediate goal of the terror army, and US News Media helped them achieve that goal in the greater Los Angeles area. The schools were immediate targets, all of the students were killed and replaced with the children of the trained, Canadian terror army. There were no police to stop them, and US Military was fooled by SAG. That provided the seeds of the take-over of USA, in the form of a trained army from Canada that looks exactly the same as the people who lived in the area. The Los Angeles area taken over by the terror army, helped to allow that the US Media in Hollywood, could command them. The army protected the media, and the media protected the army, while provididung their marching orders on the evening news, and eventually, as parts of the script and screenplay of our favorite sit-coms, movies, plays, news programs, and the commercials in between. The advertising agencies were consumed and made part of the command chain.
SAG gained a terror army to command, compliments of Britian, and the terror army was trained and eager to take their commands, from SAG, over the airwaves on television news, in the music of the 1970's, and in newspapers and magazines.
Today, in 2020, we have the culmination on the cusp of the beginnings of a new Kingdom that will be replacing Canada, USA, and Mexico, by this time next year.
The end of USA, is upon us now.
No one has answered the calls for help, no one is willing to defend the USA, and there are no US Military or National Guard left alive anywhere to stop the new Kingdom, and the extreme communism and slavery it will bring with it from becoming a reality etched forever in the blood of many millions of USA Citizens, stained on the hands of our favorite entertainers. SAG's equal share of control of the global domination, is that Screen Actor Guild members, and it's sub-union members, are to be the “Master Race” in the future of that new Kingdom. Public education will include that the students, are taught that they are a human sub-species, and taught that they are put on Earth, to serve the needs of the “Master Race”, SAG. That, is why the forced amputation victims that are called “Partners, Side-Kicks. Companions” and other terms to describe them, are being experimentally crafted, so the the surgical advance will create a situation where humans are born in captivity, surgically altered with amputation and plastic surgery, such that the people do not resemble human beings anymore. They will be taught from birth onward that they are not human, and are there to serve the Screen Actor Guild, “Master Race”. Since the surgical interventions are applied from birth onward in parallel tandem with the “British Still” education, the subjects will not recognize themselves as ever having been a human being. They will be crafted with surgically specific goals in mind to perform specific tasks, while machinery is matched to the standardized varieties of human, custom made, slave labor, to serve the Screen Actor Guild. Custom made people that ergonomically fit into custom made machinery for the purpose of performing tasks to serve the “Master Race” that SAG will have become, by order of the Queen of Britain.
======================================
That is a generalization of what is going on in USA and around the world, and what took place to get us into this predicament, and is what the future holds for human beings all over the world, in the event that there is no army available and willing to fight against the advance of Global Domination Under the Cross. There is much information here about more specific details. I have seeking some help for a long time, and am held captive in my home, by aggressive, and offensive terror soldiers from Canada. There are no police to call, all of the police in Oregon have been killed and replaced with impostors.

''Come in!'' I called out to my front bedroom door when someone knocked. I took of my ear phones and stopped what I was doing momentarily once I saw Aunt Kate walk in. I instantly smile up at her from where I was sitting Indian style on my bed.
''Hey kiddo, what's up?'' She asks with a smile.
''Ugh nothing, I have this report to hand in tomorrow and it's kinda killing me'' You closed you laptop and rose off of your bed, placing it down on your desk.
''Do you know what Allison's doing?'' I asked, wondering why she came to talk to me instead of her. I get let off with a warning while Allison got grounded.
''Pining, but I think she's secretly meeting with Scott'' Kate was honest. I looked up at her and smirked, knowing my sister would do something like that.
''And they say I'm the rebellious one'' I joked, Kate laughed a little as well.
''What are you working on, can I help?'' Kate asks, moving towards my desk. I smile and nod, popping open my laptop and reopening the word document and internet tab.
''History project, I have to find something to do with my history and write about it, any ideas?'' I was stumped, my family history was boring. Apart from moving a lot and having family practically all over the country there really wasn't anything to write about.
''Specific to your family?'' Kate leans over me as I sit down in my desk chair.
''Yeah'' I responded.
''Type this in... la bête du gévaudan'' I typed it in word for word then hit enter. I scrolled down a little and read a few sentences.
''Woah, what is this?'' I was instantly curious.
''It's the french legend that might have something to do with your family...'' She trailed off, obviously wanting me to read out a line or two.
''In 1776 in a province of Auvergne, La bete killed over 100 people...'' My eyes squinted to read more.
''Mysterious animal attacks just like a certain town called Beacon Hills...'' She trailed off herself, looking at me and computer screen.
''So, what was it... the animal?'' I asked, not liking the eerie vibe I was receiving from reading this.
''Nobody knows for sure but I can tell you one thing, it definitely wasn't a mountain lion'' I placed my hand on the side of my neck as I tilted my head, staring at the photo that was attached to the site.
''What's it look like to you?'' Kate asks, almost provoking me into finishing her sentences or questions.
''It looks like...'' My mind flashed back to the other day, being in the animal clinic with Stiles and Derek. I shivered at thought, trailing my hand over the goosebumps that rose on my skin.
''A wolf''
~*~*~*~*
Scott could practically smell the anger and irritation rolling off of Stiles when he walking in the classroom. He knew his dad was almost ran over but he wasn't, only Avery. He was mad with himself that she even got hit in the first place but there was nothing he could have done. He was just glad she wasn't badly hurt.
''Still not talking to me?'' Scott asked, already knowing the answer. Stiles bit his lip and rolled his pen in his hand, letting out an angry sigh.
''Can you at least tell me why you're mad?'' Scott had no clue, Avery was practically mean to everyone, including him at times. Scott didn't mind her but hated her attitude.
''Is this about Avery?'' Stiles stiffened at the mention of her name. Stiles wasn't quite sure why he was mad at Scott about Avery. She was a total bitch to him 90 percent of the time. Maybe it was about the other day where he saw a different side to her, maybe it had something to do with the fact that she wasn't all mean, underneath laid a very hurt and possibly broken girl just trying to put up a mask. Stiles sighed again.
''You know I feel, really bad about it, right?'' Scott asked, genuinely meaning it. He never meant for anyone to get hurt.
''Okay... what if I told you that I'm trying to figure this whole thing out...'' Scott speaks, crossing his arms over in thought. He really was, he was still no where near in control of his wolf.
''I went to Derek for help'' Stiles groaned and rolled his eyes.
''If I was talking to you I would say that you're an idiot for trusting him... But obviously I'm not talking to you'' Stiles finally spoke, still facing the front of the room.
The bell rang signalling the start of class. Scott lent down to grab his things from his bags as a few students strolled in. Stiles clicked his tongue a few times in annoyance, knowing his curiosity was going to get the best of him. He spun around in his chair quickly.
''What did he say?'' Scott smiled.
~*~*~*~*
''The what of who?'' Lydia asks beyond confused, twirling her fork in the air absentmindedly. I rolled my eyes but went back to my back, biting into my apple. My jacket was hanging off the back of the chair, allowing some warmth to radiate onto my back.
''The beast of gévaudan.. listen.. a quadruped like monster, prowling the Auvergne over in south daidone, areas of France during the year 1764 to 1767. La bête killed over a hundred people, becoming so infamous that the Kind Louis XV sent one of his best hunters to try and kill it'' Allison reads out. I pop my book down slightly, listening in to their conversation. Why was she doing the same thing? Had Kate talked to her too?
I fiddled with the bracelet on my wrist, admiring the wolf pendant on it. My eyes widen in realization.
This was what she wanted us to find out.
''Boring'' Lydia stated, flicking her fork around not really caring.
''Even the church eventually declared the monster a messenger of Satan'' Allison continued, finding it very intriguing herself. However, Lydia hummed to herself in thought.
''Hmm, still boring'' I stayed quite, wanting to know just how far Allison was going to dig.
''Cryptozoologists believe it may have been a sub-species of wolf predator, possibly mesonychid''
''Slipping into a coma bored'' Lydia rolled her eyes, finally eating what was on her fork.
''While others believe it was a powerful sorcerer who could shape-shift into a man-eating monster'' I tried to hide myself behind my book, really not liking where this was going.
''Avery, does this have anything to do with your family?'' Lydia tried to include me in but all I did was stare back at her, not really wanting to answer.
''This, it is believed that La bête was finally trapped and killed by a renowned hunter, who claimed his wife and four children were the first to fall prey to the creature. His name was Argent'' Allison stated, glancing up from the book with a look of pride.
''Your ancestors killed a big wolf, so what?'' Lydia asks, still not entirely interested. I didn't blame her, it did sound like an old wives tale.
''Not just a big wolf, take a look at this picture'' Allison moved the book in front of Lydia, showing her the picture of the 'wolf'.
''What does it look like to you?'' Allison asks, resting her chin on top of the opened book. Lydia takes a long glance, her eyes not even blinking. I glanced up at her, watching as a fleck of fear wash across her eyes but soon disappeared.
''It looks like a. Big. Wolf, see you in history'' She snaps back to herself and collects her things, walking away. Allison just slumps back and sighs, not even noticing the look on her friends face. Allison folded the book and placed it down, turning to face me.
''Do you think it looks like a wolf?'' She asks me. I glance up and shake my head.
''I think it's just a wolf'' She furrowed her eyebrows at me, not getting my answer but didn't push the subject further. She sighed and leaned back in her chair, finishing off her lunch. I looked over my shoulder and saw Scott and Stiles, Scott failing to hide behind a massive textbook.
Stiles glances towards Avery and Allison, watching as Lydia walks away. His eyes trail her for a moment before glancing back to the table, eyes meeting Avery's. He turns back around, frowning once again when his friends pops the textbook back up over his face.
''I think the books making it more obvious'' Stiles grabs the book and tilts it down so he could see Scott's face as he spoke.
''Besides they're reading anyway'' Stiles says, glancing over his shoulder one more time to make sure they actually were. He turned back around and continued writing down in his book.
''So, did you come up with a plan?'' Scott asks, moving the book slightly to the side.
''I think so'' Stiles responds, biting into his apple.
''Does that mean you don't hate me now?'' Scott asked hopefully.
''No, but you're crap is infiltrating my life, so, now I have to do something about it'' Stiles complains, finishing the rest of his apple quickly.
''Plus I'm definitely a better Yoda than Derek''
''Okay, yeah you teach me'' Scott agrees, not really wanting to speak to Derek at all.
''Okay I'll be your Yoda'' Stiles agrees, glancing down to his book.
''Yeah, you be my Yoda''
''Your Yoda I will be'' Scott just glanced at him. Stiles smiled a goofy grin, liking the impersonation he did of Yoda.
''I said it backwards-''
''Yeah, I know'' Scott cut him off, knowing that Stiles would go on an elaborate tangent otherwise.
''Alright, you know what, I definitely still hate you. Uh aha! Oh yeah'' Stiles swiftly gathered his things and rose from the table. He started walking away causing Scott to panic.
''Stiles!'' He shouted out a little too loudly. Allison and Avery both glanced up from what they were reading and stared.
''Scott?'' Allison asks, watching as he runs out of the cafeteria.
''Scott wait!' Allison calls out again, gathering her own things to follow him. I, however, took a another bite from my lunch, enjoying the peace and solitude without the worry and struggles of relationships.
~*~*~*~*
''I just had the weirdest conversation with Jackson...'' My ears perked up at this. Allison turned her head towards me as we continued down the hallway towards economics. I was friends with Jackson myself but I knew he was a jerk, a grade-A jerk so I was beyond confused why Allison would even want to be around him.
''Why we're you even talking to him?'' I asked her. She sighed and lulled her head back.
''He talked to me, wanting to apologize and stuff'' She muttered, glancing around us as if she was telling me some huge dark secret. I furrowed my eyebrows, not believing this.
''Jackson never apologizes, not even to Lydia'' I stated, hugging the economics book to my chest. We walked in the doorway and over towards our row of seats.
''I know'' Was the last thing she said before turning around to face Scott.
''Let's go! Sit, sit, sit, sit we have a lot to cover today'' Mr Finstock went on and on, getting us to hurry up as the second bell went signally that start of the lesson. I froze in my place realizing the last seat was next to Stiles. I had been trying to avoid him since yesterday, since my outburst at his house occurred. He looked up and just smiled, not even feeling the awkwardness radiating off of me.
''Hey'' Stiles says as I took my seat, plopping my bag and book down.
''Hey'' I responded, turning towards the front to hopefully stop the conversation. I hated that it was awkward, I didn't want to feel awkward around him, I wanted to dislike him as much as possible.
''Ahh I heard what happened last-''
''Please don't talk to me'' I didn't mean for it to be harsh, just blunt. I twiddled with pen in between my fingers, biting my lip as I faced forward. Stiles recoiled at her response, shrinking back into his chair. He had thought that maybe you'd be nicer but he was wrong. He was even upset with himself for even caring about your well being. He couldn't understand you and honestly, he wasn't sure if he wanted too.
''So I'm guessing things are going back to normal, you being a total bitch and-''
''Yep'' Stiles just nodded to himself and lent back in his chair, not bothering to add anything else. He didn't want to admit to himself that deep down, he was disappointed.
''Let's start with a quick summary of last's nights reading'' Mr Finstock states, his eyes scanning the classroom. A few people popped their hands up.
''Greenburg put your hand down, I know you did the reading'' Mr Finstock said with annoyance, looking to pick someone else.
''How about... ahhh... McCall?'' Mr Finstock made his was over around his desk and towards us, crossing his arms over. He lent against the edge of his desk and smirked towards Scott.
''The reading...'' He trailed on, waiting for Scott to continue.
''Last night's reading?'' Scott asks, hoping to get out of this.
''Ah, how about the reading of the Gettysburg Address?'' He asks sarcastically, a couple of students laughing. Scott looks around in confusion.
''What?''
''That's sarcasm, are you familiar with the term sarcasm?'' Scott turns his head towards Stiles, rolling his eyes.
''Very'' Stiles smiles to himself proudly. I turn to Stiles myself and shake my head, letting out a small smile.
''Did you do the reading or not?'' Mr Finstock asks, crossing his arms even more, getting serious.
''Uhhh.. I think I forgot'' Scott admits shamefully.
''Nice work, McCall. It's not like you're averaging a D in this class'' Mr Finstock leans down to Scott to whisper to him as a few classmates chuckle. I bit my lip nervously, not liking the way he was giving Scott a hard time.
''How about you summarise... uhh... the previous nights reading?'' The teacher asks, eyeing Scott. I hear a beeping from beside so I turn my head to face Stiles, noticing him glancing down towards his phone. I lent forward trying to get a closer look.
''How about the uhh... night before that?'' I could hear the Mr Finstock but tried to see the phone screen for myself. Why was Stiles on his phone right now? The teacher was giving his best friend a hard time.
''How about summarizing anything you've ever read, in your entire life!'' He raised his voice. A few classmates snickered, enjoying this. I wanted to roll my eyes at each of them. Unfortunately I lent a little too far and felt my chair stumble, my body moving forward. I placed my hand on Stiles desk and chair to stop myself, only creating a subtle thud. I glanced up to the teacher to see if he had noticed, he didn't, still eyeing down McCall. However, once I turned my head Stiles had whipped around, phone in front of him and his face mere inches from mine.
I gulped. Curiosity is going to be the death of me.
''Sorry'' I quickly lent away, sitting back in my seat in embarrassment.
''No? A book? How about.. uhh.. a back of a cereal box?'' Mr Finstock kept going on. Stiles sighed to himself, knowing this was going to be a bad idea but did it anyway. He nudged my shoulder, gaining my attention. He bought his phone closer so we could both see. While I watched the screen in confusion, seeing the number go up Stiles panicked, gripping his hair.
''What's wrong?'' I whispered, hoping not to gain the angry teachers attention. Stiles just let out an aggravated sigh but watched the screen instead, watching the number reach 160.
''Wait, is that a heart rate monitor?'' I asked, finally realizing what it was. I placed my hand on the phone and took it from Stiles grasp. The almost silent beeping going off like crazy as the numbers kept growing. Stiles glanced up at the back of his best friend, praying to god he wasn't going to wolf out. It was Stiles turn to lean over to Avery, not really giving it a thought that she had taken the phone from him.
''It's going down'' I whispered, knowing Stiles was literally right next to me. Stiles lent back in is chair and glanced around, wondering how he did it. He looked down and noticed Allison's hand in his, running a thumb over. Stiles eyes widen in realization.
However I looked at the phone flabbergasted. Why the hell was Stiles recording someone's heart rate. His own? Doesn't make sense, at this rate he would have almost had a heart attack.
''No way...'' Stiles muttered to himself, not realizing I had heard. I turn to him confused, handing his phone back.
''I have so many questions... but I don't know if I want to know the answers...'' I muttered, growing more and more confused by the second with these two.
''Trust me, you don't''
~*~*~*~*
''It's her'' Stiles says as soon as him and Scott leave the classroom. Stiles had even made sure to peep over his shoulder to make sure Avery wasn't nearby.
''What do you mean?'' Scott noticing Stiles looking around, so naturally he did too.
''It's Allison. Remember what you told me the night of the full moon? You were thinking about her, right? About protecting her'' Scott nodded his head, glancing down.
''Okay''
''Remember the night of the first Lacrosse game? You said you could hear a voice from the field'' Stiles asked, hoping Scott was already figuring it out.
''Yeah, I did''
''So that's what brought you back so you could score, and then after the game in the locker room, you didn't kill anyone, at least not like how you were trying to kill me'' Stiles concluded, using his hands as gestures.
''She brings you back, is what I'm saying'' Stiles adds on once he sees the look of confusion on his best friends face.
''I don't know, it's not always true because literally every time I'm kissing her or touching her-''
''No that's, that's not the same, when you're doing that you'e just another hormonal teenager thinking about sex, you know?'' Stiles mentions, trying to make it clearer. He stops talking once he sees the goofy grin crossing Scott's lips.
''You're thinking about sex right now, aren't you'' Stiles had wanted to slap him upside.
''Yeah'' Scott admits bashfully. Stiles rolls his eyes but continues to talk anyway.
''Look, back in the classroom, after Avery went all weird on me, when Allison was holding your hand, that was different, okay? I don't think she actually makes you weak, I think she actually gives you control, she's kinda like an anchor'' Scott stops Stiles once it clicks.
''You mean because I love her'' Scott doesn't realize what he's said but Stiles does.
''Exactly'' Scott does a double take.
''Did I just say that?'' Stiles had really wanted to slap him now.
''Yes, you did'' It was like pointing out the obvious.
''I love her'' Scott says louder, a huge smile coating his features.
''That's great, now before you go off to write a sonnet can we please-''
''No really, I think I'm totally in love with her'' Scott says, still not getting over the fact. He could feel his heart beginning to beat faster, the warmth in his cheeks spreading.
''Now that's beautiful, but moving on-''
''Do you love Avery?'' This took Stiles by surprise. He knew his friend was basically on cloud 9 right now and probably had no idea what he was saying.
''Do I... what?'' He wanted to make sure he heard him right. Scott just nudged Stiles shoulder still with a smile.
''Do you like her?'' He asks. Stiles stops and stares at Scott like he had grown two heads.
''No, I do not like or love Avery, she's... weirdly complicated and hugely annoying'' Stiles states, feeling a weird sensation in the pit of his stomach. It was weird talking about this, he wanted it to stop.
''Now please, can we focus on the control thing'' Scott seemed to shake out his daze.
''Yeah, yeah sorry, what do I do?'' Stiles sighed with relief to himself, glad to have that conversation over and done with.
''I have an idea''
~*~*~*~*
I pulled my car up into the driveway and turned off the ignition. I hoped out and grabbed my backpack, fiddling with the keys in my hand as I unlocked the front door. I closed it shut behind me and removed my jacket, placing it on the stand next to the door.
''How was school?'' Dad asked, walking past.
''School was school'' I responded with a tired smile. He smiled back and continues on towards the kitchen. I raced up the stairs and over into my bedroom, chucking my bag down on the floor and flopping onto the bed. I let out a comfortable sigh once my head hit the fluffy cushions.
I couldn't help but to let my mind race over the events that happened today. It was a hell of a weird one that was for sure. I bit my lip, thinking about how weird both Scott and Stiles had been acting towards Allison and I. I still didn't get a chance to talk to Scott about the whole Derek thing. Like Stiles said, I was pretty sure I didn't want to know. I rolled over and sighed one again, just wishing I could turn off my brain.
My eyes glanced down to my bracelet, the wolf charm being a constant reminder. I played with it for a little while, letting my mind go elsewhere. It wasn't until I heard footsteps walk past my door that I snapped out of it. They were sneaky footsteps so I knew exactly what they met. I ran up to my door and opened it, noticing Allison with her jacket and boots on.
''Where are you going?'' I asked, knowing Mum and Dad were downstairs probably in the study working.
''Just to the front, I'm waiting for Scott'' My eyebrows furrowed.
''His coming over? I thought-''
''Yeah, Mum said it was fine seeing as we are supposed to be studying for our biology test'' I just nodded my head, not entirely believing her.
''It's freezing outside'' I stated, my eyes glancing out the window to notice the fog on the glass due to the cold.
''I'll be fine Ave'' Allison laughed, walking down the stairs.
''How late is he?'' I sighed, knowing this was possibly the only reason Allison would happily stand outside in the cold.
''Only... 25 minutes...'' She stopped and mumbled. I rolled my eyes and followed her down the stairs.
''You don't have to...''
''Yes I do, if he's stood you up then I am going to kill him'' I stated half serious causing her to smile. We both made it down the stairs and towards the front door, I grabbed the jacket that was hanging on the stand and closed the door behind me. The cold air instantly hitting me as soon as we both stood outside.
''I'm older than you yet you're the protective one'' Ally says with a small chuckle. I laugh as well and lean into her side, wrapping an arm around her for body warmth.
''What are younger siblings for?'' We both laughed and talked about nothing and everything till we saw car lights drive up the driveway. A Porsche was right in front of us.
The only person who drove one of those at school was...
''Jackson, what are you doing here?''

Favourite woman-directed films I saw in 2018
It’s funny because when the year started I thought I could never watch 52 films by women, considering that I usually barely watch fifty films a year, total. Then I watched 306 new-to-me films, out of which 105 were directed by women.
I saw so many good woman-directed films that I thought it would be hard to choose ten to make this list, but then I realised that I only had to include those films that absolutely blew my mind, and bam! Ten already.
Winter’s Bone (Debra Granik, 2010)
On Body and Soul (Testről és lélekről, Ildikó Enyedi, 2017)
We Need to Talk About Kevin (Lynne Ramsay, 2011)
River of Grass (Kelly Reichardt, 1994)
The Midnight Swim (Sarah Adina Smith, 2014)
Raw (Grave, Julia Ducournau, 2016)
M.F.A. (Natalia Leite, 2017)
Daisies (Sedmikrásky, Věra Chytilová, 1966)
Always Shine (Sophia Takal, 2016)
Revenge (Coralie Fargeat, 2017)
Very broadly speaking, these ten can be divided into three categories. There’s gorey, imaginative, feminist genre -- Revenge, M.F.A., Raw; there’s visually and/or narratively boundary-expanding cinema -- Daisies, Always Shine, The Midnight Swim, We Need to Talk About Kevin, On Body and Soul; and then there are the indie stories about marginalised people, which might be my favourites of all -- here, River of Grass and Winter’s Bone.
When 2018 started I had only seen one film by Kelly Reichardt, and none by Debra Granik. Now they’re both among my favourite filmmakers. When I saw my first Kelly Reichardt film, years ago, I thought Wow, some people do make films about actual people. I’ve seen all of them now, and I liked all of them, but it wasn’t that hard picking River of Grass for this list -- there’s something so Carson McCullers, so Flannery O’Connor about the story, and visually it is so dreamlike.
I put Debra Granik together with Kelly Reichardt because their stories feel similar in many ways (and both feel similar to Agnès Varda’s), and seeing Winter’s Bone I was just completely blown away. It’s one of those films I would unreservedly call a masterpiece, and recommend to absolutely everyone. What places it above Leave No Trace (which I put as my number one new release of 2018) is the plot, and the ending especially, both completely surreal and mundane, like a cherry on top of spectacular acting and visuals worthy of Dorothea Lange .
Another slap in the face was We Need to Talk About Kevin. Together with a few other films in this list, it made me ponder what film can really do in terms of creating intricate, media-specific experiences that ultimately serve to provide a more rounded understanding of reality and what it means to be a person. We Need to Talk About Kevin was the first of these and probably had the biggest impact on me. Lynne Ramsay really is one of the few people with a completely unique vision.
I put Daisies, Always Shine, The Midnight Swim and On Body and Soul in the same category, although they don’t have a lot in common with each other, because they all have this aspect of visual and/or narrative boundary-pushing. It is so incredible that Daisies still feels like that to a first-time viewer today, even though it came out more than fifty years ago.
I saw Always Shine and The Midnight Swim around the same time and keep associating them in my mind for the nods to David Lynch, indie feel, and non-linear storytelling. Probably The Midnight Swim impressed me more, because it was the first time (and only, so far) that I saw a first-person narrative that looked quite like that.
On Body and Soul belongs in the same area of this mental map mainly because of the dream sequences. Before I saw it I probably would have found it impossible to talk about dreams in a way that didn’t feel recycled, but this managed just that. The juxtaposition of the wild forest animals at night with the cattle in the slaughterhouse during the day walks such a fine line between surrealism and social commentary, and the slaughterhouse sequences are all filmed with such incredible tact -- which only serves to make them more shocking.
Then there are the great genre films. Raw was fantastic, in part because it is so rare for a French person such as myself to find a French film to her liking, but also because everything about it felt so different -- it is firmly set in the horror genre, but it also draws from such a wide range of influences. M.F.A. and Revenge mirror each other in many ways, because they’re both rape-revenge films, a sub-genre I am incredibly glad and grateful that women are tackling in such interesting and challenging ways. I liked M.F.A. better, maybe, because it felt more real, and the ending better-thought-out, but if anything, I’d recommend a double-feature night to watch both.
Great films that didn’t quite make the cut, in no particular order:
Addicted to Fresno (Jamie Babbit, 2015): best sex comedy about actual grown-ups
I Think We’re Alone Now (Reed Morano, 2018): best post-apocalyptic “everyone is gone from the surface of the Earth but us” film
Ginger & Rosa (Sally Potter, 2012): best Cold-War England drama
Meek’s Cutoff (Kelly Reichardt, 2010) : best contemplative Western
Into the Forest (Patricia Rozema, 2015): best post-apocalyptic survivalist feminist film
Vagabond (Sans toit ni loi, Agnès Varda, 1984) : best film shot in my area of France
Khadak (Peter Brosens and Jessica Hope Woodworth, 2006): best science fiction film that takes place in Mongolia
Over time, I’m finding it easier and easier to watch more woman-directed films, both because I know where to look and because I’ll find it easier to relax and get into any genre at all when I know there’ll be infinitely less chance of rampant misogyny ruining an otherwise perfectly good film. It seems barely believable, now, to think that five years ago I didn’t know one single woman director, when clearly the quality and the variety are there, the work is there, and it stands so tall on its own.
Full 105-film list under the cut!

( sophie turner ) hey, have you seen TEAGAN CONNOLLY anywhere? they’re that twenty-two year old STUNT DOUBLE on THE RED CROWNS. if it helps they can be pretty outgoing and intelligent, plus reckless and sarcastic on top of it. they identify as cis female and go by she/her — no? i hope they aren’t late. 
*uberhaxornova voice* alright helLO ( watch, no one else knows who that is ) it’s me caitlyn, and this is my baby that’s going to be replacing gabriella. i loved gabi, don’t get me wrong, but i was having a lot of trouble finding the muse for her. maybe it was because she was an older chara of mine, i’m not sure. all i do know is that this trash princess is the total opposite of her and im v exicted to plot with all of u. speaking of, like this if you wanna plot and i’ll hop into ur ims rEAl quick.. i did change her connections page up to fit teagan, so you can find those HERE. as always, there’s more info about her under the cut!!
( tw: mentions of death, weapons, drugs, alcohol & violence. )
BIOGRAPHY
was born in dublin, ireland and lived there until she was 17.
lsn ok teagan grew up... hella wealthy.. however, that money was not really made legally ??
her parents were a part of the irish mafia ( or irish mob, however u wanna phrase it ) and lets just say she didn’t have the most ‘normal’ life growing up bc of if.
even though her parents did that for a living, they tried to keep her and her older brother out of the loop as best as they could, making a life for their kids that was not a life like their own.
however, she knew there was something up at a very young age, there were far too many times where her parents were gone late at night for her not to catch onto their job positions.
but for the longest time, she just told herself they were doing whatever they needed to do to keep her and her brother safe and left it at that.
being the curious person she was, she ended up sneaking out of her first day of class ( i’m talking middle school here ) one day, tracking down her parents car and found a window that was open and listened to the entire conversation about how they needed to end an opposing gang that was treading too close to her parent’s teritorty. that’s when she found up they were much higher up in rank than she thought.
she kept quite about it for a while, dropping subtle hints here and there until her parents finally caught on. they weren’t even mad that she eavesdropped on their conversation, instead they sat her down at a very young age and explained everything they did and why they needed to do it.
not only that, they started training teagan as well, teaching her how to use various weapons, how to pick locks, how to get in and out of places unseen and everything else she would need to know to eventually take their place one day.
much to their surprise, teagan picked up on these things as easy as it was for her to breathe the air around them. she was a natural born criminal and that made them proud as can be. but she knew she wasn’t the only child they had, so she tarted asking questions.
after asking why her parents weren’t teaching these things to her brother, she found out that his life path was no hat of their parents. her brother had enlisted into the military and after getting shipped away for a while, came back to ireland and started training to become a cop.
for a while, she couldn’t understand it, wanted to know why her own brother would be on the side that could potentially lock their parents away for the rest of their lives.
but that didn’t matter, he wasn’t even an offical officer when she was pulled out of school only to be told their parents died in a crash. it was almost too much for her to deal with, but it also made it clear to her why her brother chose a different path.
she knew that crashes happened and for a year or so, she lived with that and just wrote it off as an accident. but what people didn’t know was that she’d become really, really good at hacking into people’s information, finding out that her parents weren’t just killed in the crash, they were murdered. the whole thing was a set up.. done by someone below them in ranks that didn’t like the fact they were in power.
this set teagan off, making her go into this downward spiral that even her brother couldn’t get her out of.
she went out partying at a young age, started doing drugs.. anything that would make her forget about her parents for a while.
not only did that happen though, she became more and more motivated to take over their legacy, bursting in on ofne of the mafia’s meetins only to punch the person responisble directly in the face. she thought it would get her killed, and there was a part of her that didn’t care. but it didn’t, in fact it not only scared the other mafia members, but it instilled a respect for her in them that she had gotten from her parents.
things were find for a while, she was 15 and living with her brother who tried to keep tabs on her as much as he could, but even theat didn’t help him when he had a con-artist of a sister who paid people to lie for her about her whereabouts and things like that, but he tried and that was enough for her because it showed that he loved her and cared.
but things changed once again when she turned 16, her own brother catching her trying to steal clothes from the store. needless to say, he was probably a little more harsh on her than he should have been given that it was his sister.. he put her in a cell for a  good three weeks, probation after that and that was when she started to dislike him and his life choices.
after her probation was over, she knew she needed to get out, go somewhere where no one knew her name, no one knew what happened to her parents nor the ties she now had with the same mafia that got her parents killed. so she made the choice to move to canada. she’d seen articles on it and fell in love so she figured why not? 
shortly after that, she found out that she could do dangerous things for a living and basically tried to do anything and everything she could to make sure she got a job as a stunt double.. which she loves more than life and for the first time in her life she feels whole.. safe and completely free.
this however, doesn’t mean that she still doesn’t have some con-artist in her blood because she does, however, she tries to avoid that side of her because she doesn’t want things to end up like they did for her parents.
PERSONALITY
first n foremost... teagan has an irish accent, meaning that half the time she’ll probably say something but it sounds weird to other ppl?? but she kinda laughs it off.
while teagan is sarcastic and blunt, she’s always extremely outgoing and charming when she wants to be.
she normally get along with everyone because she lives her life as chill as she possibly can. sure, there are some people that annoy her but she has never hated anyone other than the person that killed her parents.
loves to party, drink... be wild, do stupid things.
is the girl that probably sends half nude photos to her friends 2 see if they’re up to par ?? like ‘hey do u think this is good enough 2 send’
will want to go to a bar, club or party with everyone because that’s where she feels more comfortable.
extremely reckless.. like probably will suggest they break into a park of something after hours just to go exploring in the dark??
curses like a daMN SAILOR
drinks.... a lot... like..... way more than she should
loves 2 cuddle but also hates it... like she’ll cuddle if she’s drunk or if she’s v close w u but if it’s after a one night stand she’s like.. lmao no bye
speaking of... she flirsts... with everyone and is rather amorus. meaning there’s a 99.9% chance she will try 2 sleep with everyone because that’s just her ‘thing’
wears glasses 2 read, but hates them w a passion so she tries not to use them when she’s in public bc she doesn’t wanna get made fun of??
has a youtube chanel full of crazy challegne vids, beauty tutorials, hair tutorials and ex that she uploads 2 every once in a while.
extremely into netflix n chill....... yikes
can cook like a five star chef?? yet she rarely cooks for herself.
a little guraded at first but once those walls are down, she considers you a friend.
the people she trusts fully though?? shit, she’d do anything and everything for.. like she’d even take a bullet for them ??
sub af & proud.
also might be slightly addicted to sex but she tries to keep that on the dl
plays video games whenever she gets the chance
acts like she’s okay all of the time even if she’s not because she doesn’t want to burden people with her problems, they have enough to deal w as it is.
fluent in quite a few languages.

youtube(.)com/watch?v=QbODDgqnu80& here's confrontation! his performance is so good but like i said i do have a bone to pick w the subs bc i hate it when translated subs that are there to make you understand what they're saying are blatantly wrong(not sure what's going on in the beginning but by the time hyde comes in i think they're just the english ones. speaking of that the 2010 subs on yt for mor translate melomanie to love of music for l'ass and i strongly dislike that. anyway (1/?) -3D
i'm not fluent enough to correct everything for sure but some are "I will find the answer/I'll never desert you" is more like "I will never give up/I promise I will save you", "this is not a dream, my friend" is "if this is a dream"(and then the sentence is continued in the next lyric but i can't tell what he's saying) "Hyde is here to stay/No matter what you may pretend" is more like "Hyde is here/[I will] never leave" | also there's a desc of the show in the video desc -3D
youtube
wowww he did so good!!!! he had that annoying mic to hold the whole time and yet he worked around it well!!!!! if he was in costume and etc wow.. would have been awesome
yea the subs are wrong bc they just copied and pasted the original english lyrics instead of translating what hes actually saying 💀 even jekylls part, its just the original lyrics. but thank u for the correct translation!!! they should hire u 😤
ur the second person i see complaining about melomanie dlkdjsl but honestly... that doesnt bother me at all. and i usually love complaining <3 lmao but ill explain. i didnt know what melomanie (or melomania) meant before watching mor so picture me watching the show for the first time with a super accurate sub, translating melomanie to melomania. i see salieri saying a word in french that i dont know and i also dont understand the translation bc its. essentially the same thing. so i have to pause the song to look it up and ruin The Mood, The Flow. when instead i could just read "love of music" which is understandable and very close to the original thing. i know it doesnt convey the same meaning, its not as dramatic, but it just makes it more accessible idk. if u become a fan and really care about the lyrics and the meaning, ur gonna inevitably look them up. im sure everyone reads subs already knowing they arent perfect bc they can never be. so thats why im fine with them.
but i get u!!! stuff like that video, for example, are a completely different thing bc the subs are just simply wrong. that pisses me off too! really simple things like idk the character says "hi, how are you? i saw you the other day, at the park!" but the subs are "hello. you were at the park yesterday." .... like cmom. lmao no need for it to be different there !!!!!!!!
also the description of the video... nOT HENRY BEING ONE OF THE PRODUCERS DLKAJSDKLAS,, thats why he was there in that other video.... and in this one... not me having to thank henry for this.
