#if you were a girl in elementary school in 2007

Hi anon! ☺️

⚡️ (Post-lightning strike love confession)

Previous snippet here

Eddie’s dry chuckle is followed by a lingering silence, one that fills Eddie’s entire body with dread and he stares at the bottom of his empty bottle, seeing the stained wood underneath.

“What’s your point, Eddie?” Buck says, almost as if he’s annoyed. Maybe he is. Maybe he’s just sick and tired by everyone that his life technically was cut short a few months before his 32nd birthday. Maybe he’s tired of everyone hovering and worrying that he’ll do something stupid to put himself at unnecessary risk. Maybe he’s tired of being treated differently, people looking at him differently. He hasn’t changed. He doesn’t even have a scar or anything to show for it. The only thing that psychically reminds him of what happened is the acting in his sternum and ribs when he makes a wrong move. But he’s fine. Completely and utterly fine.

Eddie shifts in his seat and lifts his gaze, discreetly scanning Buck’s face before he settles for eye contact, a soft yellow light reflecting in Buck’s eyes and Eddie feels himself swooning a little. “I’m just saying, not everyone gets a second chance and-and-and you should be glad that you got it because I…” Eddie pauses himself. Fuck. It’s now or ever. “I’m not done with you yet. I uhm-…I” He stumbles over his words and suddenly can’t keep eye contact with Buck anymore. “Okay, Jesus fucking Christ, this is ridiculous. What I’m trying to say is that I’m glad you didn’t die because I’m in love with you and I want you to know that”

Another long silence follows.

Fuck, maybe I shouldn’t have said that, Eddie thinks.

Buck leans slightly backwards in his chair, frowning and clearly processing what his best friend has just told him. Finally he opens his mouth but all that comes out is a weak, “what?”

TW: Abuse

El Paso, Texas, 2007

Going to a public high school after having gone to a catholic middle and elementary school was a whirlwind of changes for 15 year old Eddie Diaz. But luckily, he’d made friends fast and spent most of his time with one of them, Lucas. Eddie found himself admiring Lucas more often than not, his soft brown curls and dark green eyes, freckles spread across his nose and cheeks, even some on the side of his neck. He was so kind and generous and funny and smart and Eddie definitely had feelings for him that he didn’t know how to put into words.

And he didn’t want to put them into words because every time something about gay people were mentioned anywhere, his father would curse at it and spit, visible disgust on his face. Only problem with this was that Lucas was a very psychical person, he didn’t mind hugs and he didn’t mind cuddling and he didn’t mind touching Eddie during the day, which would send hot flashes throughout his entire body. And a little twinkle in Lucas’ eyes told him that he might feel the same.

Sat on the edge of his own bed, Eddie had been nervously swinging his feet as Lucas was lying on his side, clearly watching him. “Eddie, your father isn’t home. He won’t be home for a while” Lucas pointed out with a cheeky smile and he sat up, his warm thigh resting against his. A nervous breath escaped Eddie’s mouth and as he turns to face Lucas, Lucas leans in and let his soft lips connect with his.

Eddie had kissed a few girls before but it hadn’t really felt like anything. He just felt like he had to perform. It hadn’t given him this swirling feeling that spread in his entire chest, it hadn’t made him smile against their lips and it hadn’t felt so…liberating. When Lucas slowly broke the kiss, Eddie found himself eager for more and soon he almost halfway crawled into Lucas’ lap, arms draped around his waist. He probably also moaned because Lucas’ hands traced the small of his back before settling on his hips.

They had both been so lost in the moment that they hadn’t even realized that Ramon was home, several hours before he was supposed to. The door almost flew off its hinges and Eddie tumbled to the side, almost falling of the bed.

“What are you doing to my son, you fucking maricón? Get the fuck away from him!” Ramon yelled out as he yanked Lucas off the bed and harshly slammed him onto the floor.

“Dad, stop! He didn’t make me do anything!” Eddie tried desperately but the first blow landed and then another before Lucas is yanked back up on his feet and pushed out of the room only to have Ramon leaping at his only son.

“I raised you better than this, Edmundo! This is an abomination!” It started with a slap but it quickly grew into a fully fledged assault. Every time Eddie tried to escape the room, escape his father’s violent acts, he was pulled back into it.

“Please stop!” He sobbed as his father sat on his back, tugging at his arm before pulling him off the ground and after that, Eddie doesn’t know what happened. He doesn’t want to know what happened as the sound of a bone being broken filled the room. “I can’t-… Por favor, lo siento, papa. Lo siento mucho, por favor. Please let go of me” His pleas fall on deaf ears as his arm hung weakly by his side.

Bushnell Grew Up in a Religious Compound - The Church of Jesus

CW: Discussion of Abuse, Religious Compound/Cult, Religious Trauma, etc.

Airman who set self on fire grew up on religious compound | 27 February 2024

Bushnell was raised in a religious compound in Orleans, Mass., on Cape Cod, according to Susan Wilkins, 59, who said she was a member of the group from 1970 to 2005. She said that she knew Bushnell and his family on the compound and that he was still a member when she left. Wilkins said she heard through members of Bushnell’s family that he eventually left the group.

Wilkins’s account is consistent with those of multiple others who said Bushnell had told them about his childhood in the religious group or who had heard about his affiliation from his family members.

The group, called the **Community of Jesus,** has faced allegations of inappropriate behavior, which it has publicly disputed. In a lawsuit against an Ontario school, where many officials were alleged to be members of the U.S.-based religious group, former students called the Community of Jesus a “charismatic sect” and alleged that it “created an environment of control, intimidation and humiliation that fostered and inflicted enduring harms on its students.”

The school, now defunct, disputed the allegations. *Last year, an appeals court in Canada awarded 10.8 million Canadian dollars to the former students, who attended the Ontario school between 1973 and 1997.*

Former Members Of Cape Religious Group, the Community of Jesus, Allege Emotional Abuse, 'People Don't Realize the Mind Control That Goes On in the Background’ | 4 November 2021

"You just exist in fear because you feel trapped," said the anonymous former member, who was raised in the Community of Jesus. The person alleges a disciplinary practice in which people were singled out and placed at the center of a circle. "And they're yelling at you about something you did, and making you feel like the worst person on Earth."

Ex-students win suit against former Grenville Christian College in Brockville for physical abuse | 27 February 2021

The school’s philosophy of strict discipline was part of a “tough love” program, as the school’s first headmaster, Alastair Haig, described it to the Brockville Rotary Club in 1973.

Grenville Christian College, which is in Augusta Township just east of Brockville, opened in 1969 as Berean Christian School to offer elementary and secondary education to boys and girls.

The school closed in 2007.

The complaints of the former students start in 1973 when the school adopted new programming from an American Christian community known as the Community of Jesus, or COJ.

Re: “Emily” yes, it’s a very nice name, but it was also the #1 girls name in the US from 1999-2007 and only dropped out of the top 10 in 2017.

Right now, it’s a safe enough name, but a decade ago you would have to ask yourself, do I want my kid to have to go by Emily X. all through elementary school because there are three in her class? My sister was named Jessica in the 1980s and went through that and hated it. On the other hand, names are more diverse now, so even when it was #1 she might still be the only one - but there would also be Emmas plus “alternate spellings” like Emilie, Emilee, and Emmalee, which were all in the top 1000 when Emily was in the top 10.

And sure, that’s all info you can get yourself, but plenty of people have made money off of writing baby name books that put all that info in one easy place so you don’t have to do dozens of searches of Social Security’s databases, plus things like celebrities with the same name and other possible teasing vectors, etc etc.

Idk, naming kids is hard. They’re gonna have to deal with that name for a long-ass time, and if they have to change it as an adult it’s kind of a pain in the ass. Plenty of people get help, even if most can’t or wouldn’t spend the money on a personal consultant. And yeah, if this lady can give us one fewer kayleigh or brooklynne or whatever, more power to her.

I wish this was my job.

[badtakesbutreally]

People are weird that they don't believe I was raped as a child so I guess here's a play by play

it was the beginning of July 2007 because I was wearing the dress my mother made me for my baptism. I had just been baptized, which means I was suddenly responsible for every horrible thing I could do.

I went wandering because I was a bored child. There were two neighborhood boys around my brothers ages (14ish) across the creek from my house. They were building something out of scrap metal.

I ask them what they are building

The older one says they are building "a shack to hump girls in"

"What does hump mean"

They laugh to eachother.

"Can you show me?" I asked, innocent to what I was asking.

He had me lay in the dirt under the partially constructed shack. It didn't have a door so the other boy stood guard. I saw him glance over a few times.

He pulled my panties off. He made a comment that I had wet myself. I did this often as a child because I had gained a nervous habit of holding my pee until I couldn't anymore because I hated everyone around me.

He didn't stop though, he continued.

He took out his penis, it was just a pale sausage looking thing. I think he was uncircumcised. And he pressed it against me.

I don't remember if it went in. But it did touch me.

He was on top of me, humping me, skin to skin.

I don't remember if he came. He must not have because there would have been a mess.

But we did that. I knew what sex was now, as an 8 year old child. I remember I started masturbating after that, it very much affected how my brain worked. But it didn't hurt so I guess that means I wasn't raped.

This is from December 2007 I was wearing the same dress. Someone nearly in highschool looked at this child and thought it was ok to try and fuck her.

There was another time in elementary school that a boy my age stopped me on the stairs to the Library and he twisted my boob. That also made me think about my body in horrible uncomfortable ways.

There was the time in middle school I wore my hair up in a ponytail and wore nice clothes because I wanted to try it. I got followed home from school by someone driving slowly behind me. Luckily someone saw and called me over and had me run away home while they dealt with it.

I tried to dress less nice after that.

I'm sure there's more examples of this kind of thing but honestly I don't remember off the top of my head so I can't care to count them.

There's been more recent things, men asking me wildly inappropriate questions when I was working. A coworker telling me to come sit on his lap and leaving me flowers, while I was unable to leave the building without his permission or setting of a fire alarm. A coworker groping my shoulder and not letting me walk away because he just *really* wanted to talk to me.

Getting invited to a DND game where they sexually assaulted slaves seems like it fits in there somewhere but I think they genuinely didn't think I would care, not a complex ritual to get me to fuck them. Just as concerning in its own way.

DM asked if I would meet him alone in a date setting. He was in his 40s and I was 19.

It just keeps almost happening you know?

I guess I'm smart enough to not get hurt now, but it sucks how it just keeps happening and will probably keep happening.

Typical questions and answers regarding Nitta Eri, the iconic figure of Onyanko Club, on Yahoo Answers

Can you believe the fact that a girl with such a face became the iconic figure of Onyanko Club and the most popular idol?

Yoshino Kayoko, who was a beautiful and cheerful girl, should have been the ace of Onyanko Club, and Nitta Eri shouldn't have been the ace of the group.

Top:Nitta Eri, who became the iconic figure of Onyanko Club, and Kokushō Sayuri, her biggest rival. Middle:Nitta Eri and Kawai Sonoko, who was reputed to be the most beautiful among the members of Onyanko Club. Bottom:Nitta Eri and one of the most popular members, Takai Mamiko, who subsequently married Akimoto Yasushi.

Nitta Eri, Nakajima Miharu, and Takai Mamiko.

Nitta Eri(right side) and porn star Nitta Emi(left side).

It was often pointed out that not only do these two share a similar name, but also a similar face. Nitta Emi was a member of an idol group called Romanko Club, which was formed by porn actresses. Nitta Eri was well aware of this porn actress who looked a lot like her, and she insisted that her own tits were a healthy pink, unlike Nitta Emi's.

After the disbandment of Onyanko Club, Nitta Eri answered with a smile to popular comedian Sekine Tsutomu's extremely lewd quizzes on a crappy radio show.

Onyanko Club's Nitta Eri and AKB48's Maeda Atsuko are often compared cuz they were the aces of their respective groups.

Q136154273 Hidden ID 2005/9/20 11:36 I don't like Nitta Eri's viscous way of speaking. Has she been like that since forever?

Hidden ID 2005/9/20 11:44 Nitta's face and figure were below par, and so was her singing. Nitta didn't at all deserve to be a celeb. I didn't understand those who said this bitch was good.

Hidden ID 2005/9/20 11:54 She's always been like that. I don't like that way of her speaking either. Does Nitta think she's lovely? She's a middle-aged woman now, and on top of that, there's nothing good about her.

Q1110249601 nan 2006/12/12 18:02 I hear that former Onyanko Club member Nitta Eri was very popular. What was it about her that attracted many guys? In terms of looks alone, there were many other girls who were prettier, weren't there? Could someone who knew her prime please answer me?

ana 2006/12/12 23:15 I think it was her ordinary-ish nature that attracted people to her. She was like a cute girl in class. People may have found such a part of her approachable. If she'd been too beautiful, many guys woulda avoided her. Also, the fact that she was blessed with a hit song called “Winter Opera Glasses” was a major factor that couldn't be ignored. She was given the opportunity to sing that song because of her popularity.

aya 2006/12/12 23:21 Nitta's most attractive feature was her pouting jaw.

Q1112192096 han 2007/7/16 19:20 Nitta Eri was the most popular among the members of Onyanko Club, so why couldn't she succeed in the entertainment industry like Kudō Shizuka afterwards?

dre 2007/7/16 19:27 I think the main reason she was so popular during her Onyanko Club days was cuz people found her amateurishness endearing. Nitta Eri was the epitome of amateurishness and was therefore extremely popular. However, after graduating from Onyanko Club, it was tough for a character like her to compete with other female celebs. In the case of Kudō Shizuka, she had the singing ability to captivate people with her songs, but Nitta Eri had none of that.

Q1424314664 Hidden ID 2009/3/19 20:01 Why was Nitta Eri so popular? I often hear that Onyanko Club means Nitta Eri, but I don't understand the reason even after watching her videos on YouTube. I often hear that her ordinary-ish nature was the secret of her popularity, but then, I think all the other members besides Nitta had the nearly same atmosphere as well. At the time I was in elementary school and accepted the fact that Nitta was a very popular idol, but now when I look back at her videos I wonder why that was. I know this is a weird question, but I'd appreciate your answers.

hug 2009/3/20 1:05 At the time, her ordinary-ish nature was said to be good, but I didn't get it. Also, her singing was laughably terrible. However, it's possible that those aspects of her weren't so bad for guys. Btw, Nitta had a boyfriend who was a classmate at her high school, despite the fact that she was a very popular idol.

yab 2009/3/23 21:23 There were members who were considered more beautiful than Nitta at the time, such as Kawai Sonoko and Takai Mamiko. However, Nitta took the most prominent position with their debut song, and soon came to be regarded as the iconic figure of Onyanko Club. Unlike the other show-off members, Nitta was laid-back in both good and bad ways. In addition, maybe the boys felt that Nitta had the friendliness of a slightly cute female student from another school.

Q1035855675 kag 2010/1/26 21:15 Do you think that Nitta Eri in her prime could immediately become an ace if she joined Morning Musume?

ten 2010/1/28 6:52 I watched the videos of Nitta Eri at the time and I found her looks to be very problematic. I don't know why she was so popular. She wouldn't even be able to join Morning Musume.

Q1043501820 Hidden ID 2010/7/11 6:40 Were Kokushō Sayuri and Nitta Eri like cats and dogs when they were members of Onyanko Club? Can you tell me specific episodes about these two at the time?

s_s 2010/7/11 19:05 Kokushō and Nitta once had a very real fistfight after airing "Yūyake Nyan Nyan". This fight was included in the 100 best bouts on Fuji TV at the time.

Q1043532745 kai 2010/7/11 20:01 I recently read a news article and found out that Nitta Eri was the very top member of a group called Onyanko Club. I don't think she was that beautiful in her old pictures. Was she really so popular back then? Why did Akimoto Yasushi make her a center of the group? I find it baffling that she even became a celeb from being such a low-level girl. I wonder why people had to watch a girl of that caliber on TV. Her selling point was said to be ordinary-ish nature, but if anything, it seems to me she was way far worse than ordinary. I'm sorry I said that very clearly.

pol 2010/7/11 20:15 Nitta's face was average, but her singing was pretty terrible. Nevertheless, she was extremely popular. Nitta was incredibly affable, and I guess that's what made people think she was cute.

Q1245080682 Hidden ID 2010/8/10 23:48 Onyanko Club apparently was divided into two factions, Kokushō Sayuri's and Nitta Eri's. Which did you support back then?

Hidden ID 2010/8/10 23:54 I was a Kokushō supporter. As an elementary school kid at the time, I thought Nitta was fugly and also had a very weird voice. I still don't understand well why she was the most popular idol.

Q1345131098 kit 2010/8/11 22:17 Yesterday, Kokushō Sayuri and Nitta Eri, both former members of Onyanko Club, appeared on a TV program called "Confessions of the Showbiz World" and talked about each other. I watched it and felt that Nitta Eri had a pretty bad character. Nitta continued to bitch about Kokushō while laughing. I thought the bitch who wasn't shy about saying such things was Kokushō, not Nitta. I'm not of the Onyanko Club generation, so I don't know about their past. Has Nitta been like that since back then? I thought that she was an idol with an image of innocence and purity. I found Kokushō to be a more decent character than Nitta after watching the program.

Hidden ID 2010/8/12 16:50 I'm of the Onyanko Club generation. Nitta has always had that kinda personality. She sang in the Onyanko Club song, "New Membership Number Song", "Sometimes I'm selfish and annoy those around me, but they see my smile and forgive me, that's my weapon." Books written by people involved at the time also described a number of episodes of her selfishness. She quickly became so popular and the face of the group without any hardship at all, and this situation probably made her even more selfish. However, I think what she said on that show was more of a story of memories rather than swearing. The story of the rivalry between the Nitta and Kokushō factions is probably a subject for laughter now. Kokushō rather used to be a bad girl. At the time, the newspaper Mainichi Shimbun interviewed Kokushō, but her attitude wasn't very good. They therefore denounced her extensively in the paper, saying that she was cheeky and had no common sense. In fact, she seems to have been really cheeky, and now deeply reflects on what she said and did at the time.

Nitta was selfish and stubborn, and in addition, she wasn't good at group activities. She always hung out with only a very few of her close friends, such as Nagata Ruriko and Nakajima Miharu. Therefore, she was completely indifferent to any bullying or other problems that occurred among the other members. On the other hand, Kokushō showed her leadership as a jock girl. However, she was surprisingly jealous, had clear likes and dislikes, and was cheeky. I think they were both like that at the time. Incidentally, Kokushō was pretty harsh to Yoshizawa Akie, who made her solo debut soon after joining Onyanko Club, and to Kudō Shizuka, who'd known Kokushō since before the group. As a result, surprisingly many of the members disliked Kokushō. On the contrary, I don't think there were many members who disliked Nitta. I guess Nitta had a more refreshing personality than Kokushō.

Q1445220384 yam 2010/8/13 16:18 If former Onyanko Club members Nitta Eri and Kokushō Sayuri had a real fight, who would be stronger? They did reveal their incompatibility on TV.

pea 2010/8/13 21:40 I think it's Nitta Eri, unexpectedly. During the Onyanko Club days, more members supported Nitta than Kokushō. Just being kind ain't enough to be a leader. However, in the case of Kokushō Sayuri, she's a strong verbal fighter, but seems to be able to eventually reconcile with her opponents with a smile. Nitta Eri seems to have a character that'll keep her grudges for a long time.

2010/8/20 2:48 I don't know which is stronger. However, in the case of Nitta Eri, I'd be afraid of her cuz some of her relatives are quite rough around the edges socially.

Q1247301712 tut 2010/9/19 22:58 Was a woman named Nitta Eri really an idol? She looks like a middle-aged woman in a supermarket somewhere around there now.

pum 2010/9/21 19:00 She was an ordinary girl everywhere. So it's natural that she now looks like a middle-aged woman in a supermarket somewhere around there. The normal-looking part was her selling point.

Q1048496695 ryo 2010/10/11 17:11 Former Onyanko Club member Nitta Eri openly admitted on a TV program, "I already had a boyfriend when I was a freshman in high school." However, I heard the members of Onyanko Club were prohibited from having relationships at that time. Her comment is like a blanket denial of the romance prohibition of the members of AKB, produced by Akimoto Yasushi. Junior high school students believe that idols aren't permitted to fall in love, so I feel sorry for them that she said such a nasty thing.

Hidden ID 2010/10/11 20:27 I agree. Those who say such a thing now, like Nitta, seem to think that idols are allowed to fall in love as long as they ain't uncovered. If they want a boyfriend, they just don't have to become idols, but they're pretty greedy. The idea of desiring to be pampered by both boyfriends and fans at the same time horrifies me. It was a shock for me when I found out that my favorite idol had a boyfriend. Even the old idols were like that, so I believe that today's idols definitely have boyfriends. I'm pretty sure that AKB members will be telling stories on TV shows in a few decades, such as, "Actually, I had a boyfriend when I was an idol."

Sanpo 2010/10/12 13:11 Nitta ain't negative regarding the prohibition of romance for idols. She just said that almost no one actually abided by it. Btw, Nitta's first sexual experience was when she was 13, though.

Q1349377888 Hidden ID 2010/10/27 14:47 Which is less cute, Nitta Eri or Maeda Atsuko?

Hidden ID 2010/11/3 13:26 Nitta Eri. Ever since she was an idol, I've never understood why she was so popular.

Q1149687046 sof 2010/11/2 2:11 Does Nitta Eri have a protruding jaw?

fin 2010/11/2 15:16 Nitta Eri, who sang “Winter Opera Glasses,” has a protruding jaw.

Q1450732364 Hidden ID 2010/11/21 1:16 I often hear that Maeda Atsuko of AKB48 can be identified with Nitta Eri of Onyanko Club. I'm not of the Onyanko Club generation. Therefore, I finally found out through internet research that the two are indeed similar. They both have several similarities, as shown below. "They're the face of the group, even though they ain't very talented or good looking." "They're given special treatment by Akimoto Yasushi." "They've no ambition or motivation." "Somehow, they're number one in popularity." But if they're so similar, Maeda might even resemble Nitta's bad side, don't you think? Nitta Eri's career stalled after her graduation from Onyanko Club, and as of now, she's no presence in the entertainment industry, to the point where it's hard to tell if she's in or out of the business. Maybe Maeda Atsuko will be like Nitta Eri after her graduation from AKB? It seems to me that Maeda hopes to become an actress. But she doesn't have the acting ability or unique presence to captivate people, so she's likely to work in minor supporting roles. In the future, will Maeda appear on some "what's that idol who was popular in the past doing now" type of show?

Hidden ID 2010/11/21 1:33 I totally agree. Maeda will be on such a show in 10-20 years. I think she'll be like Nitta Eri. It seems to me that the only time she can be popular is now that she's in AKB.

Q1258441627 ysd 2011/3/23 23:27 Was Nitta Eri the most popular member of Onyanko Club? I believe there were other prettier girls, but why was she so popular?

yun 2011/3/24 19:05 Ah, I thought the same thing as you. I don't think she was particularly cute in my opinion, so I've a strong feeling of why. When I heard her episodes of the time, she was extremely self-centered. I can hardly say she sang well either. I imagine that Nitta Eri was a little lispy and spoke in a sweet tone, which was why she was considered cute by many guys? That's all I can think of in her good points.

Q1059256645 nik 2011/4/2 21:57 Kokushō Sayuri couldn't win over Nitta Eri. And now that times have changed, Shinoda Mariko can't win over Maeda Atsuko. Kokushō and Shinoda are completely more beautiful. Is it still the case that plain looking girls whom we somehow manage to approach, even though the times are different, are still popular?

Hidden ID 2011/4/2 23:32 The perception that Maeda and Nitta are plain looking is correct. The reason they both became popular is cuz Akimoto Yasushi gave them special treatment and always put them in a good position. If these two ugly idols would have stood on the same ring as everyone else, they wouldn't have been popular.

Q1465592069 Hidden ID 2011/6/30 18:20 Are Nitta Eri and Abe Natsumi two of a kind? I saw a post on Yahoo Answers stating that Nitta Eri is to Onyanko Club what Abe Natsumi is to Morning Musume. Does that mean that not only Abe Natsumi but also Nitta Eri plagiarized?

sol 2011/7/1 3:21 The world consists of a pyramid structure, with a large number of the poor and a small number of the rich. I think that the supporters of Nitta Eri were rather few rich guys, and many of them were ignorant and rude guys who were at the bottom of the pyramid, such as gangsters and punks. Kawai Sonoko's supporters were the guys who've been rich and yet intelligent for generations.

Q1173479156 sar 2011/10/16 17:55 The mystery of idol group popularity. Yesterday, footage of Onyanko Club was shown on TV, and a woman named Nitta Eri was mentioned as the most popular idol. Frankly, I thought Kokushō Sayuri and Watanabe Minayo were more beautiful than her. Why was Nitta the most popular idol?

Yosentsūka 2011/10/17 6:58 I never understood why Nitta Eri was so popular back then. She was selfish and only worked as if it were a part-time job, yet somehow she was popular.

Q1495009759 cor 2012/10/2 9:29 Nitta Eri of Onyanko Club. Why was she so popular despite the fact that she was a very average girl? She recently made a TV appearance as a former idol and her deterioration was so terrible. I couldn't believe how she was able to appear on TV in spite of her appearance like that.

ich 2012/10/2 12:53 She wasn't an unreachable beautiful girl for people. Therefore, she was popular cuz people thought of her as if she were a familiar classmate. Of course, she was prettier than our actual classmates cuz she was able to be an idol. She was a terrible singer, which probably made people feel closer to her. Unlike Kokushō Sayuri, she didn't work hard to become a big star, so I guess people thought she was good because of her amateurishness. At the time, though, I couldn't understand why she was so popular either.

Q1497449854 rat 2012/11/19 14:55 Concerning former Onyanko Club member Nitta Eri. I don't mean to be rude, but I've been a bit curious about this for a while and would like to ask a question. There have been a number of programs aired in the past few years featuring idols from the 1980s. But no matter how many times I've seen footage of Nitta Eri in her prime, I've never once thought she was cute. I don't know about the other female idols of the time well, but I think they were cute. If you call it a matter of taste, that's all it is. Only Nitta looks so lame to me, even though I find other idols who had just debuted at the time and looked provincial to be cute in their videos. I don't think she even had the singing ability to compensate for her lousy looks (I'm sorry). I was a little kid at the time, so I can't even get a sense of how popular Nitta had become. Did people who knew about those days think Nitta was cute?

yos 2012/11/19 17:32 In hindsight, she was laughably provincial. She was a pretty lame girl who deserved to be from Saitama Prefecture. However, Onyanko Club rose rapidly, thanks to Nitta's popularity, and as soon as the year 1986 arrived, their popularity reached its zenith. Anyway, that was the mood of the times. It was Nitta who symbolized Onyanko Club. Therefore, Onyanko Club was positioned by the public as an idol group, like an bunch of amateurs.

bra 2012/11/21 22:24 I watched "Yūyake Nyan Nyan" back then and wondered why Nitta was so popular. Onyanko Club was a group that sang terribly, which was the norm, and Nitta's face was way below average. However, Onyanko Club gave people a sense of familiarity, as if they were the amateurs beside us. Therefore, the girls' looks and singing ability tended to be of little concern. In addition, the tremendous momentum of the program "Yūyake Nyan Nyan" itself probably had an impact on Nitta's popularity.

Q12118347582 ich 2013/12/23 12:59 What do you associate with Nitta Eri?

brt 2013/12/23 13:05 I've always wondered why she was the most popular member of Onyanko Club. Her singing was pretty terrible.

bea 2013/12/23 16:56 She was a former member of Onyanko Club and was a terrible singer. I still remember the shock I felt when I first heard her debut song, "Winter Opera Glasses."

gin 2013/12/23 21:57 It reminds me of Nitta Emi, a former porn star whose name and face were extremely similar to those of Nitta Eri(^O^)

Q12165055922 Mighty Action 2016/10/1 23:56 Please tell me! What was so cute about Nitta Eri?　 She now seems to me to be a middle-aged woman who is everywhere.

sth 2016/10/2 4:31 That's really true, isn't it? Well, when she was younger, wouldn't they have liked the "girl-everywhere" part of her?

A thank-u comment from the questioner I feel that there are many more beautiful ordinary women around than Nitta She had none of the glamour of a star. But she was lucky enough to have the right timing and to be able to sweep the world of idols.

Q11170861316 takodestakodayo 2017/2/22 18:38 Which was a worse singer, Nitta Eri or Kokushō Sayuri?

sek 2017/2/22 20:34 Both bitches were like the pot calling the kettle black. Nitta Eri was something that makes people feel embarrassed just by listening to her. I still don't understand what made Nitta so popular.

sei 2017/2/22 23:50 It musta been Nitta Eri. Her singing was exactly at the level of being noise and pollution.

Q10196443375 Hidden ID 2018/9/20 20:04 In the 1980s, did you think Nitta Eri was cute? Personally, I think Nakayama Miho and Honda Minako, who debuted at almost the same time as Onyanko Club, were cuter. Is it a matter of taste?

X_ray6723 2018/9/21 11:07 I've never thought Nitta was cute. In terms of looks, Nakayama and Honda were definitely better than her.

ara 2018/9/24 20:10 I had no idea why Nitta Eri was so popular. Even now, I still don't understand. I personally think that Nakayama Miho and Honda Minako were far cuter, prettier, and more attractive than her.

q12222929357 ole 2020/4/11 12:20 Ah, Nitta Eri wasn't cute at all, yet she was the number one in popularity and the face of the group? I can't fucking believe it! What the fuck, What a time it was back then! Does that mean that the average girls of the time were even lower level than her? Cuz most girls nowadays are prettier than Nitta Eri. If today's girls traveled back then, they could all become idols, couldn't they?

dampty 2020/4/11 12:52 I can only say that Nitta became popular because of the vibe that prevailed at the time. Anyway, Onyanko Club was very popular. Well, they were more entertaining than the modern idols who pretend to be good girls and can't even utter blue jokes.

ole 2020/4/11 12:57 Oops, they were idols, and yet they also said blue jokes? If so, wouldn't they have been censured for having boyfriends at the time?

dampty 2020/4/11 13:00 Back then, as now, there was a love ban. However, there wasn't a single member who kept such a rule. There were a number of members who were fired for smoking cigarettes, and even a member who was fired after being caught fucking a guy.

dampty 2020/4/11 13:10 In the case of shows such as All Night Fuji and Yūyake Nyan Nyan, the hosts themselves made a series of blue jokes. It ain't good cuz today's idols don't have the unique personalities of their old counterparts.

ole 2020/4/11 13:17 Ah? now that's unbelievable! Come to think of it, didn't Morning Musume's Tsuji Nozomi and her former colleague Kago Ai once have their work taken away from them for smoking cigarettes? In addition, Yaguchi Mari once caused a stir when her sex scandal became public, didn't she? Was Onyanko Club in a similar fashion to Morning Musume?

A thank-u comment from the questioner I appreciate your answer. Was Onyanko Club in the bubble era? Was the comedy craze also a thing back then? Maybe the values were different then than they are today.

Q13231678833 Hidden ID 2020/9/16 12:36 Who would be the first to think of an idol who was popular but being not so pretty or cute?

neko1991 2020/9/16 17:44 In terms of nostalgic idols, I can say that Nitta Eri of Onyanko Club.

A thank-u comment from the questioner Nothing shows more than the fact that such an ugly girl was the most popular member of the early Onyanko Club, how crazy the aesthetic sense of elementary, junior high and high school students at the time was.

Q11242740821 om5 2021/5/5 22:40 Which was prettier, Nitta Eri or Kawai Sonoko?

sod 2021/5/5 22:50 Kawai Sonoko was far more pretty than Nitta Eri. There was an incomparable difference between the two. Inexplicably, however, Nitta seemed to be more popular at the time.

Q10244287280 1149931252 2021/6/6 17:31 Did Nitta Eri have such a large number of fan base at that time?

kyūjī 2021/6/6 22:39 I think she was the most popular idol back then. I remember her making the following interesting remarks. "My debut song, "Winter Opera Glasses" was actually written by me, not by the fucking Akimoto Yasushi!" "A fucking stalker stole my stained underwear!"

Q14251207469 Hidden ID 2021/10/18 23:35 I'd like to ask Kuma Benkei。. In the early days of Onyanko Club, Nitta Eri was the most popular by far, but what the fuck was so good about that bitch? Onyanko Club was basically a group of ugly girls, but there were relatively beautiful girls like Kawai Sonoko, Kokushō Sayuri, and Takai Mamiko from the very beginning. I have no idea why the popularity was concentrated on Nitta. It seems to me that this should be mentioned as the very first of the Seven Wonders of Onyanko Club. Looking at past Yahoo Answers, I realize that I'm not the only one who feels this way, and there're many others. I'd really like to see Kuma Benkei。, who favors Nitta, explain this. Alternatively, I don't mind if it's someone else.

no_ 2021/10/19 14:09 I'm someone else! Well, I think the reason she was very popular was cuz she seemed so normal, as a member of an amateurish group! That said, looking at her early photos, she was fugly! I started watching "Yūyake Nyan Nyan" around the middle of May 1985, more than a month after the program first aired, so I don't know about its earliest days. I definitely didn't have any special feelings for Nitta! I couldn't even imagine the fact that Nitta has remained in the entertainment industry until this very day!

Response from Hidden ID 2021/10/22 20:59 It'd be normal to feel nothing at all when you see Nitta. It seems to me that there were too many abnormal guys back then.

tak 2021/10/19 14:51 Amateurishness was her selling point. However, I wondered why she was so popular. Apparently, Nitta Eri had no interest in show business and wanted to quit soon, but managed to continue until September 1986. Her graduation from Onyanko Club was due to Fuji TV's intention. During her Onyanko Club days, she often went AWOL for selfish reasons.

Response from Hidden ID 2021/10/22 21:11 Nitta may not have been so motivated at first, but after the smoking group got fired, she seems to have gotten cheeky.

Kuma Benkei。 2021/10/22 10:18 Greetings, I'm Kuma Benkei。. I'm sorry it's taken me a while to respond to you. As you pointed out, I've had a certain favorable impression of Nitta Eri. However, please understand that this is just my personal taste and also I don't represent the feelings of other respondents. First, I wanna say that I'm not a fan of Onyanko Club. I just think Nitta Eri is good to some extent, but I'm by no means a hard-core fan or anything. Compared to the other members of Onyanko Club, I think that Nitta's shyness, less like a celebrity, and more like an amateur anywhere, gave people a good impression of her. She was neither a good singer nor a good dancer, and she didn't make a particularly outstanding impression on people. I think that her ordinary-ish nature was her strength. Generally speaking, Onyanko Club was like a group of amateurs on "Yūyake Nyan Nyan", so I didn't expect them to be anything amazing from the very beginning. Under such circumstances, my favorite was Nitta Eri. She was a friendly, smiley character who made people think it might be fun to date a girl like her. Wouldn't you agree? That's what I mean. Her ordinary-ish nature was irresistible to me. She didn't seem to have any weird sexiness or slyness, and yet she was cute♪ (^○^)ｂ.

Response from Hidden ID 2021/10/22 21:12 If Nitta was an ordinary-ish girl, then there woulda been such girls in your class. I don't understand the feeling of daring to seek such a point from idols. I don't think Nitta's smile was particularly attractive compared to the other members. Also, Onyanko Club's selling point was their amateurishness, but in reality, they were a group of professionals or semi-professionals from the very beginning.

Kuma Benkei。 2021/10/22 21:29 There's a difference between ordinary-ish and just ordinary. Well, if we look around, there're certainly ordinary girls, but those girls don't always smile at us, do they? Nitta fulfilled the wish of an ordinary man who wanted a girl to smile at him. There're plenty of just ordinary girls everywhere. But they don't show us the smiles and kindness we expect, do they? They ain't very nice to us, are they? However, idols live up to our expectations. That's why they're valuable. As far as that's concerned, though, idols are unordinary. Nitta became popular cuz she was unordinary, even though she seemed to be pretty ordinary.

Response from Hidden ID 2021/10/22 22:16 I got what you meant. That said, was Nitta so affable all the time? Wasn't that only a small part from the overall image of Nitta as an idol? I could say that the act of interpreting only a part of the surface in an enlarged way is something that no one other than fans could ever understand.

Kuma Benkei。 2021/10/22 22:20 Fans tend to do that. They overinterpret to their own convenience. It's a piece of cake for them, Yoo-Hoo＼(^o^)／

A thank-u comment from the questioner I understood to some extent how a fan felt. I have to say, however, that it's extremely difficult to accept approvingly the fact that Nitta became the most popular idol, even if only for a brief period of time.

Q11266501191 asterisk 2022/8/16 19:36 During your high school days, you naturally had a number of classmates prettier than Nitta Eri, hadn't you?

Hidden ID 2022/8/16 19:49 There were at least more than five girls in my class who were cuter than Nitta. I was flabbergasted that she was the most popular idol with a face like that. She looked corny, had a single eyelid, a flat nose, dry hair, and was even a terrible singer from the countryside. She was worse than Yamamoto Susan Kumiko, one of the least popular members of Onyanko Club.

Q13297335288 asterisk 2024/5/1 1:15 Was the confrontation between Nitta Eri and Kokushō Sayuri a fixed game, like pro wrestling? I heard that it was often mentioned on TV programs that the two didn't get along during their Onyanko Club days (I don't know specifically, as I don't watch those kinds of programs). However, I suspect that such a thing was just made up out of irresponsibility to create a buzz to have Nitta, who hadn't normally had a chance to appear on TV, to appear repeatedly on the programs. Both were separate groups, but it seems to me that the two weren't as confrontational as the public made them out to be. When Nitta retired from Idol in 1990, she said the following. “I was really surprised when my little cousin boy asked me if I was quitting cuz Kokushō bullied me. There's absolutely no fact of any confrontation between me and Kokushō." Then, long afterwards, why would she say the exact opposite? That'd be just a stage direction to make the show more exciting.

pro 2024/5/1 6:19 I'm sure these two have something to say to each other. That aside, Kokushō told the following episode on a certain variety show. Nitta told the staff in advance, "I don't wanna fucking wear a bikini at the upcoming swimsuit photo session!" However, on the day of the photo session, she was only provided with a bikini. Nitta, who definitely didn't wanna wear a bikini, refused to come out of the waiting room, which apparently delayed the start time of the event. The staff tried hard to persuade her, but she wasn't convinced. Kokushō, who became irritated, rushed to Nitta and persuaded her as follows: "Unless ya show up, the event won't start, so don't be selfish and come out!" "Everyone is waiting for ya!"

On that program, Kokushō said that she and Nitta didn't get along particularly well, but they weren't bad either. Therefore, it's possible that Kokushō and Nitta weren't in fact in a confrontational relationship, and that there was no pro-wrestling-like confrontation structure. It seems to me that the people around them spread the word as if the two were in confrontation.

Response from asterisk 2024/5/1 8:36 In fact, I think it was something like that. However, according to old Yahoo Answers, the two had amusingly told each other's confrontation stories repeatedly on several programs more than a decade ago. I guess they were staged after all. Since the two were leading members of Onyanko Club, those programs were probably worth watching for their former fans.

My sister and I have different godfathers because my godfather is gay. My parents can claim it’s just because my uncle was going through a divorce all they want, but he was divorcing his wife because he was gay and we’re Catholic and it was 1997 so it’s pretty obvious it’s because he’s gay. I put two and two together when I went “I’m seeing a lot of (now-husband) at family gatherings” and my dad letting slip he and my uncle share a bedroom in 2003-05.

But when I was 10? Well when I was 10 everyone at my school “knew” the gap store stood for gay and proud and no one wore gap brand clothing if they could help it because you might as well have come out by wearing it. Well, no one except me. I hadn’t really put 2 and 2 together yet, and I don’t think my mom knew the joke (though she worked at my school so how could she not?) but I loved my gap embroidered sweatshirt and wore it often; I wore tons of clothes from gap. Late elementary to early middle school was my gap era.

And of course the cultural norm of silence around the issues, especially back in 1998-2003 means people assume there’s a “normal amount” of queer experience that “everyone has” while still being able to label themselves straight/cis.

How many times must a child pick the blond guy in a white suit jacket while playing DDR and say their character is a guy on animal crossing before promptly putting the character in a skirt before someone says “that’s weird right?” What level of resistance to bras? Trauma around periods? The elementary and middle schooler of 1998-2007 whose parents were assured “she’ll grow out of it” who assumed everyone had the same distress she did around developing and clung to the ever-boy Peter Pan because she wanted to be him, to remain flat chested the rest of her days and thought every girl wanted to remain flat chested. She existed and she didn’t have the words to express herself and the words she did have were brushed off as something she would grow out of.

I didn’t grow out of it, by the way, I still prefer sports bras and binders now that I can control my undergarments because I still want to be flat (but sometimes I don’t want to be flat). I have the words that won’t be brushed off now.

I graduated high school in 99.

There was a student at our school named Wayne.

Wayne was gay. It was obvious. He was unable to stay in the closet even if he wanted to. To make matters worse, he was also Black. From a bullying standpoint, that was not a great combo. Both Black and white students made fun of him relentlessly. He was ostracized from the only community that may have given him protection. Only us theater kids stuck up for him, but not to significant effect.

Wayne was bullied so much that at one point he finally snapped and attacked his bullies with a lunch tray. I was actually seated in perfect line of sight and just sat there chewing my soggy fries in stunned silence. It didn't even seem real as I was witnessing it. The image of him wailing on his main bully as the food on his tray flew off is permanently logged into my long term memory.

The bully he attacked had blood all over his face and went straight to the nurse. Other than superficial cuts, he was not injured.

Before the attack, Wayne went to teachers for help. He went to guidance counselors for help. He went to the principals for help.

He did all of the things you were supposed to do. No one helped him. They wagged a finger at the bullies and warned them to stop.

Wayne's lunch tray melee was the only thing that worked. His bullies stayed far away from him. But a week later Wayne was expelled and the bullies were given no punishment.

So... no.

No one in my school talked about being trans.

Because the only way to survive being openly queer was to bash people with a lunch tray.

ellie williams x reader

🫧 baby ellie headcanon 🎀 ! (this is my first hc idk how i did hopefully i did okay )

🫧 i went with my little sister to the sanrio store, shes a cutie i miss being a teenage girl anyways this is lowk dedicated 4 her :)

🫧 description: MID-2000’s AU! reader loves sanrio, sarah, ellie, and you are a trio, baby!ellie baby!ellie baby!ellie, fluff, more fluff, oh and some more FLUFF, reader is hello kitty obessed, you both are just sweet and awkward teenage girls who have crushes on each other, YOU ARE ALL 15, no use of y/n, use of nickname bunny-boo (reader goes by it and yes i stole it from bratz),reader gives ellie a kiss on the cheek!

one thing that you and sarah had in common. SANRIO.

you were bestfriends with sarah since elementary school. In 4th grade, sarah’s dad Joel adopted an auburn hair girl the same age as you both named ellie.

ever since then, the 3 of you together just became inseparable.

ellie didnt get it at first. 6 months after ellie got adopted and comfortable. you guys went out on a whole going to places and doing activities the 3 of you liked.

this didnt leave ellie out at all as she constantly brings up different space museum and sky-viewings to go too.

you and sarah will also happily get her anything that reminds you of ellie or know she would like.

you guys had went to space museums, viewings, natural history museums, and a space store getting to know all the things ellie loved.

you and sarah listened to all kinds of facts from ellie or being interested along with her as the tour guides showed you all around.

when it came to your turn, you and sarah both agreed on going to a Japanese store; duh there was the sanrio merch.

now this was peek 2003, hello kitty was BLOOMING ALL OVER THE SHELVES

you guys were next level.

hello kitty was your girl and my melody was sarah’s (she just seems like such a my melody girly !)

when you arrived to the store, Joel immediately gave you guys a time. he was not playing around, you guys could cause damage all day in there.

he set a mental timer for an hour and 30 minutes as you and sarah dashed into the store, dragging ellie along.

you guys immediately ran towards the HK section “so is this like anime?” an 11 year old ellie asks, scanning the hallways filled with the cute cat character.

“its a japanese cartoon! so yes, basically” you explain, ellie just gave you a soft smile as she watched you and sarah bring each other different HK’s to choose from.

“and shes just a cat?” ellie picks up a plushie, this one had on bunny ears and an easter basket “yes, a very cute amazing cat. hello kitty saves lives.” you look at her dead serious, walking up to her.

ellie made a face at your serious face“now thank you! you found me the cutest kitty!” you take the kitty from her hands, hugging it.

ellie thought the characters were cute, especially this little black penguin, she goes up to the section and begins to pick up every single different merchandise; admiring it.

you and sarah giggle as you admire the way ellie just found her sanrio character “thats badtz-maru!” sarah exclaims, handing her one of his pins; knowing she was a fan of pins.

her favorite would so be bad badtz-maru

“you are officially a sanrio girly” you tease out causing her to visibly cringe which you and sarah giggle at.

ever since then, ellie thought it was cute how you and her sister would indulge yourselves and each others happiness into these cute characters.

she wanted to indulge with you guys more and more with the years.

it was now 2007 and sanrio, to be more specific had became more mainstream beside just HK

“happy birthday dear bunny-boo, happy birthday to youu!” sarah and ellie say obnoxiously loud over everyone singing your name causing you to giggle out.

“happy birthday to you!” people sang for you in celebration.

you lean down to blow out your ‘15’ candle that was on your hello kitty cake, getting ready to serve on hello kitty paper-plates, hello kitty cups, and hello kitty napkins.

a girl like you needed a hello kitty 15th birthday party.

you having my melody and badtz-maru stickers/pins for ellie and sarah!!

ellie would put the sanrio pins you and sarah would gift her on her backpack, wallet, or key-lanyard; you name it.

ellie cherished all the little hello kitty drawings you would draw for her or even if it was colored from a hello kitty coloring book!

“els! can i come in!” you slightly knock on her door, waiting for to answer “come in, bunny-boo!” you hear her call out from the other side of the door.

“hey! how did you know it was me?” slightly nervous sarah might’ve told ellie about the drawing

“bitch, you’re the only one who knocks” ellie laughs out, moving over on her bed inviting you to sit with her.

you slightly chew on your bottom lil before pulling out a folded up piece of paper from the back of your jean pocket “errm-if you laugh! im never fucking giving you anything ever again in a-” you began to jokingly threaten.

“okay okay! i wont laugh, jeez” ellie says before you handed her the folded paper.

she unfolds the paper to see a sketched hello kitty and badtz-maru on a blanket surrounded by child-like drawn trees; colored in by color pencil.

“its us on a picnic!” you smiled softly, ellie’s cheeks turn into a hue of pink before immediately going over to her desk.

she grabbed a push-pin, going over to the large corkboard above her bed.

it was filed with pictures of you, sarah, and her, pictures of her and joel, and along with it some of her own drawing wish some of your previous ones that you have drawn for her.

“right, here so i can laugh at it once you walk out” she proposed sarcastically.

you quickly grab a pillow throwing at her face. ellie does an exaggerated fall to the floor; hand over her chest.

“awhhh! ya got me”

“shut up dork”

you would at the laugh the sisters would bicker and get annoyed of each other every time you would go over to Joels house.

eventually fighting over who should have you storm off with them (more like ellie).

“ellie get out! you’re officially annoying!” sarah yells out, throwing one her plushies at her after saying a joke she did not like.

“fuck off, you’re annoying! c’mon bunny-boo” she says to you after retaliating at her sister, starting to walk out the door.

now thats when you stand there looking at both of them “you both are annoying” you shake your head, giggling at both of them.

the sisters share a look before looking over at you.

“BOO, YOU WHORE!” sarah throwing a pillow, ellie throwing the plushie sarah threw at her; now at you.

you slept over so much at some point, you just started leaving clothes in sarah and ellie’s rooms

sarah having some of your shorts while ellie took your tee’s

she would wear your hello kitty shirts to sleep or around the house, she loved the feeling of your company the times you weren’t around.

“is that my shirt?” you enthuse your question, the next day as you all watch a show in the living room.

it was a shirt with all the sanrio characters that was light pink and had big pink letters; immediately recognizing it as yours.

“uhh” ellie actually seemed flustered for some reason. you giggled out “you love my clothing, its okay” you say sarcastically.

sarah being completely amused by the two of you. she knew you both were gay for each other before the both of you even knew.

“i do not like that girly shit”

“yeah, like i said…love.”

ellie is 10000% a supporter of your obsession, same with sarah

anything that she sees HK, shes sending a picture, drawing it from memory, or if she has the money for it. she’ll buy it.

one day you all went back to Joel’s after school and Joel had offered to take wherever you guys wanted.

“lets go to that cool comic shop, i need the new addition of savage starlight!” ellie comments, enthusing on her comic.

once you guys got to the comic shop, ofc being you.

wherever you went, hello kitty was right there with you.

after going to the savage starlight section, while you were looking around you seen a familar giant red bow.

you quickly tap sarah as you both squeal out of excitement.

“what?! what is it!?” ellie looks up from the comic book alarmed. you both look over to her with wide eyes while you’re still pointing.

“oh..you both are dramatic as fuck, lets go!” before rushing with you both.

they had selections of stickerbooks, actual books even though most of them were for 3 year olds, and posters.

sarah immediately picked up some my melody posters and a stickerbook of all the characters.

you on the other hand had 2 posters and were struggling in between which one to pick out of all of them.

“c’mon bunny-boo, you cant be serious!” ellie laughs at your indecisiveness “oh-she so serious” sarah utters with a smile, helping you by skimming through some of the books.

you give her a fake pout “hm, choose for me then, williams” you say, coming to a descision for yourself.

ellie gets flustered for a second, you just looked so adorable as you pouted. it made her stomach churn around.

ellie baby, poor girl had the cutest crush on you.

it was purely platonic of course, you were her best-friend.

i till the summer of 8th grade that you guys went out to walk the beach pier.

you had 2 cute pigtails in and these pink full body-overall shorts with a light blue t-shirt under.

and that was the the literal death and gay reawakening for ellie williams.

thats another story tho

“pssh, easy” ellie tries to play if off with a coy smile as she steps infront of you, beginning to skim through with her sister.

you’re not dumb, you can see ellie silently begging sarah to help her choose

it made you smile and also your heart flutter.

she didnt know, you didnt know.

it was just the purest form of crushes.

“okay, i gotcha. we can go now!” ellie announces, putting the book in the air before handing it to you.

you giggled at her dramatic ways.

“why thank you, els” you boost, blush spreading across your face.

sarah internally gagged but was also routing for her gay sis!

that same night you slept over at her house, this night you guys choose to sleep in ellies room.

you guys were binging south park as s display of different snack options were sprawled in front of the 3 of you.

at some point, sarah had fallen asleep which left only you and ellie awake

“shh, listen. shes gonna start snoring soon” ellie utters quietly and amusingly.

you shake your head no till you heard a random snore which you couldn’t help but laugh alongside ellie.

“did you like the book i choose?” ellie asks you genuinely.

you go to pick up the book, it was a hello kitty book about a rainy day; the cover had HK holding an umbrella with a raincoat and rainboots on the cover.

“i love it, now i have a reason to read a book!” you joke out, before giving her small kiss on the cheek.

ellies face stood there blank and pink, turning your cheeks pink as you both just stared at each other in silence.

ellie tried to do everything to calm down her racing heart but fuck was it not working.

ellie takes a slight breath, trying to come back into reality.

“you’re blushing” you grin ,putting your hand to try to squish her cheek.

“hey! so are you!” ellie says, trying to dodge your hand playfully.

“as your sister, seeing that was so sad” guess she wasn’t asleep after all.

7 March 2023 Tuesday 2:12 am pdt

incubus tightened my ribs again making it into a corset around my organs. It’s too tight again & I’m feeling my lungs 🫁 feel strangled. Incubus does not like me. He calls me a liar 🤥 over & over again. He is abusive of all women including little girls. 2:15 am pdt what was he doing at five towns college in Long Island 🏝 New York? He was probably continuing to tell garrido to keep doing what he always did to dugard. 2:16 am pdt

2:44 pmpdt incubus is continuing to burn me w/ fire & destroy me w/ acid & tearing/picking away at bone. I figure incubus lied about us having children together. Incubus, if you wanted someone to sacrifice in Q’s place, ask someone who is not annoyed w/ Q. Ask someone who gets joy out of being w/ Q. Year(a) b4 incubus did that to me I already told a couple of people I didn’t feel happy being w/ Q. & even though I was annoyed w/ Q, When I told those people I wasn’t happy w/ Q I didn’t say that it was Bcz of Q. Somehow, if you can believe it, it was 2 separate conversations that didn’t mix. Which is weird to say & sounds unbelievable but at least w/ one of those 2 people I think I didn’t mention the cock blocking. & it was over the phone. B4 the last cock blocking, I was already feeling sick inside after hanging out with her maybe? I was forcing myself hoping that I might start liking her again & more. Another mistake. I wonder if she sabotaged one potential friendship secretly, & the other one through saying my former elementary school classmate Meghan & her family & boyfriend were all weird to isolate & keep me from coming back to her neighborhood if she actually was planning to cut ties w/ me. 2:57 pmpdt

3:27 pmpdt I think I saw Meghan again in 2007. 3:28 pmpdt

12:52 am pdt 8 March 2023 Wednesday

12:53 am pdt that woman’s name was Kerry. The one I treated well enough I guess for her to say she missed me, unless she was lying? But I had issues w/ feeling like I liked myself enough to be myself 12:56 am pdt incubus deleted my text again! I felt like a character? I guess? Maybe this is the way Jim Carey was? I’m incontinent again. I came out of the bathroom minutes ago & I’m peeing again when I cough. 12:59 am pdt I had typed something else but I guess the incubus is telling me “wrong” thru autocorrect. I dunno I remember doing a little of that (left ankle bone pain 1:01 am pdt)... whatever in college. Difficulty breathing. Incubus put acid on my tongue & I think I drank it down w/ something I drank so he inflicted a lot of pain on my bones & flesh. Maybe incubus mislead me. I don’t know anymore.

1:05 am pdt thought about what my aunt said that I’m not family Bcz I didn’t listen to her. I thought, yeah, bcz I didn’t want my sleep disturbed & I didn’t want my mom’s sleep interrupted Bcz my mom gave me a hard time whenever I woke her up, yeah Bcz I didn’t listen to her anymore waking us up. But she was probably talking about me not barricading the door. Can’t breathe. 1:08 am pdt

1:34 am pdt the o

1:46 am pdt incubus is trying to kill me w/ diarrhea. 1:53 am pdt I had difficulty breathing & coughing. The other guy I chatted with in March 2001 was a guy in Michigan named derick? Forgot the spelling. V. He was an electrician at the time. Only a few years older than me. Talked about his ex a little w/ me.

1:58 am pdt incubus is burning my back & making it hard to breathe. Saw on the news suddenly there’s a shortage for asthma medicine. Interesting. I forget when but there were cops in Sunnyvale throwing bombs at a house in a residential area I think near an elementary school? Said they had warrant for arrest. Sounds scary they would throw bombs. Saw an episode on tv if a suspicious jealous husband throwing bombs in his backyard & he got arrested for attempted murder on the spot. With my suspicion of dirty cops Bcz of Oakland police involved w/ prostitution how are we supposed to know if a cop is honest? Especially w/ incubus telling cops to not search garrido’s sheds from 1991 to 2009? & a bomber being caught at an airport, lived in a house in Potomac & new world? How do we know the bomber & the cops in Sunnyvale aren’t friends & sharing bombs? 2:06 am pdt

2:08 am pdt incubus says I’m in trouble now.... whatever. He makes me feel like I’m dying all the time. & everyone helps him kill. 2:09 am pdt 2016/2017? My upstairs neighbor told us her black Honda was stolen. I think she had 2 sons. The neighborhood was suspicious I guess. The upstairs neighbor across from us (tummy ache don’t like 2:12 am pdt continuous diarrhea today) I heard his son say something that I thought alluded to that his dad said he saw someone break into a car & I heard the next door neighbor of my upstairs neighbor tell him “I don’t think SHE did it.” 2:14 am pdt

2:32 am pdt in response, I think I remember the son said something like , “BUT my dad said HE SAW HER.” I don’t remember the chronology: I remember after I put out the trash bins to the curb finding my car in the garage with the door not properly closed & the inside door light alert on. I remembered seeing a wire hanger in the dirt next to the fence closest to my back garage door of my apartment. I suspect the youngest son of my upstairs neighbor did it quickly when I went to the curb. & another time when I shyly hung out there to get a little vitamin D from the sun & water the plants? The youngest son of the next door neighbor of my upstairs neighbor slammed his back garage door very hard. It seemed like he was trying to scare me away or express his dislike of me even though we NEVER talked before. I think he did it more than once? In that same moment. I’m not sure of my memory anymore but I think I might have looked at him one of those times and saw his scowling angry face. This kid, I think he wanted to be a cop & maybe mentioned another time 2:41 coughing acid in throat peeing can’t breathe. 2:42 am pdt he asked if they read the Bible. I think him and the neighbors liked doing religious stuff. I remember a dark green pickup truck with aguila? Something a word that looked like that I forget what it maybe translates to above it had Jesus Christ decal w/ crown of thorns. 2:44 am pdt after I got out of the hospital in 2020? I thought I saw the son of the upstairs neighbor across from me in my new neighborhood in a different city, in a dark gray big new pickup truck playing loud music. Last year the same car that was in the garage the battery would need to be replaced with barely any use several times. I wonder if it was really him & he was intentionally making the battery need replacement? Would he really go through that effort? It occurred to me only this morning/evening that maybe that’s why. Pain groin sharp 2:48 am pdt was he really stalking me? Bcz his dad really said that to him? I NEVER broke into a car in my life! But I saw step up movie w/ (acid burning pain vag 2:49 am pdt) Channing Tatum so I had an idea of how they could have broke into my old car. This neighbor had many large pickup trucks. How did he afford so many? One I think had a 2011 year sticker that I saw peaking out under the newer stickers. 2:52 am pdt

10:09 am pdt incubus put in my head last year “you don’t know what’s possible until we try” when he was trying to I (10:10 am pdt but (butt 10:49 am pdt)bones digging pain) I guess when he was trying to convince me of a painless world free from crime & that we’d live longer lives. I had started to think that I was going to die on/off w/ on/off denial? I remember seeing online or on the news a 70 years old ballerina who said it is never too late to start,; at the start of COVID I found online a ≈60 year old woman bodybuilder w/ large muscles, & this year on tmz a ≈60? Year old woman surrogate- I need to check up on those to see if I was being gas lit by the incubus. & there was also a woman over 100 years old? Who looked relatively young for her age. Bcz I didn’t commit their names to memory it’s going to be hard for me to find this news things again. So with the memory of these news, I thought, & also a song on klove & plastic surgery is it possible that the incubus has the fountain of youth & applies it to whoever he wants? Mar I age. I guess incubus is gas lighting me... also with cartoons/animes like inuyasha - I saw briefly last year yasha is a variant of yeshua - nickname of Jesus Christ - & hosanna in the highest song they sing in church & I googled it & the internet said hosanna is only mentioned 6? Times in the Bible & only when talking to Jesus Christ. If you’re trying to hide from baby killer king Herod would you change your name? I think I heard Herod talked to Jesus moments before he was tortured before cheongsam being crucified I don’t know what cheongsam is it came up in autocorrect never seen that word before. Was Herod stalking Jesus? 10:24 am pdt oh coming back from tangent shakugan no Shana (the incubus is making me scared to type this) I think he’s trying to play it off that I’m crazy so he’s been threatening hysterectomy since 2017. But I was kinda crazy for the first half of my life Bcz he rammed my head into extremely hard things - futon metal bunk bed frame, very dense wooden bench, old car with a metal frame, & chronic eczema since I was 7/8 years old. He’s been making the back of my hands itchy again the last few days.(10:52 am pdt not to also mention feeling like my mom hated me. Kinda shitty?) Also at the end of last year asteroids? Started appearing around (10:29 am pdt butt bone pain right side) a doctor told me there was no cure to eczema but I cured it by 2016/2017 but the incubus is making it very difficult for me to breathe now & he stabbed my pelvis at least 3 times all over when I coughed from him putting stuff in my throat & burning me & he hurt my brain & skull at the same time & this morning he did it all over both legs stabbing at once. I didn’t like shakugan no Shana only watched first 2? Episodes, & then I read the summary so I know how it ends - I was curious. 10:34 am pdt incubus is full of false promises to me. Always lying. Also last year at the very end? Scientists said they found a brand new earth a lot larger than this earth. He is gas lighting me. I also finally made sense of a sign he left in a photograph that I am interpreting to mean that I’m going to die & im not going to fly to the new earth contrary to the anime. If hosanna = yeshua/yasha = Jesus = chavah/eve then -> alpha/alef-> a leaf -> leaves -> ill eve. Omega is shaped like a bowl turned over in the apocalypse Tau is across -> Taurus-> ta you or us. Lululemon looks like omega? Lulu = Lucia? Santa Claus? Prinsloo princess lulu? (Charlie puth) brad Pitt be rad pitty. Cross a pit. Abyss. 10:43 am pdt a I have a lot of fear (pain 10:44 bottom lip) typing all this. If the incubus plans to kill 1 billion people b4 the end of the year what does it mean? Does it mean that the new earth is a mirage? Why does the population keeps going up if those are it’s true numbers? Another plane incident happened looks like a copy cat of the Los Angeles to New York flight, on q Los Angeles to Boston flight. 10:49 weird. 10:55 am pdt

11:02 am pdt Neptune . I thought that it didn’t have rings before? Am I wrong?

11:43 am pdt nausea 😞😖😭😤🥵😤 11:44 am pdt incubus will tell women (& children? 👶 ) neighbors slammed door 🚪 11:45 am pdt anything he thinks they want them to hear 👂 probably Bcz he wants p*ssy. 11:47 am pdt

12:56 pmpdt my mom’s car 🚗 insurance company replaced the car 🚗 battery 🔋 maybe 🤔 3 times? Last year. 12:57 pmpdt

Yui Samidare?

Indeed, this is Yui... she was a detective like myself when I was started out being a detective, she's very important to me - she was the closest I had to a big sister as well...

I even remember back then I learn she was going to be accepted into Hope's Peak but deny it as she wanted to be a detective.

And... hearing what happen to her sister...

...

...

...

Date: December 20th, 2007

... *Kyoko is reading a book which then a girl carrying something*

Hey Kyoko, I take it your studying, huh?

Oh... hello Yui, did you need something?

Well I figure I give you something...Here. *gives her a box that's wrapped up*

Huh? Is that for me...?

Yeah and besides, I had enough money from some detective work so I figure you'd like it!

I see... thank you, big sis.

It's no problem, I'm happy you like it...

Still... seems the holidays are coming up, it's nearly been a few years since her death and will need to visit her funeral, I hope dad's okay...

'Her'?

Oh, sorry you weren't suppose to hear that...!

Well now I'm curious, can you tell me who 'she' is...?

Well... I guess I can tell you; you see, I use to have a younger sister, her name was Mayu; she was a pretty sweet girl and I love her a lot which she was in elementary school which if she were alive she be around your age, it's even why I became a detective...

In fact, I even rejected of being scouted at Hope's Peak because I wanted to continue being a detective.

Wait you were going to attend Hope's Peak...?!

Ye-Yeah... but I decline, I think they took notice of my jumping abilities but I wanted to continue on my work as a detective.

But yeah... the reason I became a detective is because my sister was taken by a man and he held a ransom which by the time my dad got there, my sister was dead.

I'm still trying to find her killer but it's why I join the DSC, I want to find out what happen to Mayu.

So... you became a detective because you want to find your sister's killer?

That's... pretty cool, Yui... I hope you can find your sister; I can see why Hope's Peak notice you; I wish I can be as cool as you.

Heh, thanks Kyoko! I'm happy to hear that. But still, I think given your skills as a detective; I'm sure Hope's Peak will notice your skills as a detective.

Really...?

Well yeah, I think they would so don't give up, okay?

...

...

...

I won't Yui, I'll work towards being a great Detective...

[cannibalisticdespair]

The other kanji used for "Junko" is "child", making it "Shield Child" and "Enoshima" is just a copy from the location, referring to an island in a flowing body of water.

Mukuro meanwhile does not write her given name with kanji, making it just "Corpse". And the other kanji in her family name is "war", so she's Corpse Warblade.

Ryoko Otonashi meanwhile, "Otonashi" uses 音 which is "Sound/Speaking," and 無 "Nothing/Nil/Zero". "Ryoko" uses 涼 which is "Cool (as in temperature)" or "Refreshing". The "ko" meanwhile is using the same kanji (子) as Junko, which is "child".

"-Ko" names for girls in Japanese are an older form of traditional name, it's kinda akin to being named something like "Maude" or "Mildred" or "Agatha". It wasn't nearly as "in" to name your daughter either of those things in 1994 (when Junko would be born, because she was beginning her second year of three in high school in April 2010)

Meanwhile, naming your child "Corpse" is downright deranged. Mukuro not having any kanji is possible, names are not required to have kanji. The law does legally restrict which kanji can be used, but other than that, there's no law that you can't give your kids a deranged name (unlike some countries, but akin to America).

However, at least one of Junko's two names is a fake name. Obviously. The fandom tends to presume "Junko Enoshima" is a stage name and "Ryoko Otonashi" is her real name, but either way, that means Mukuro's name is also a fake name unless both names for Junko are fake and "Ikusaba" is the family name. Since Mukuro is the firstborn, if it were a "I only wanted one damn kid" situation, Junko would be the one with the horrid given name. Matsuda also remembers Ryoko as a child as Ryoko, which more heavily suggests that Otonashi is their actual family name. Japanese law requires a married couple to take the same family name, and it's said that Mukuro ran off to join Fenrir during a family vacation to Europe, we can assume that their legal names would be the same family name.

However, it's also established that Mukuro's rise to fame started with winning a survivalist competition while she was still in elementary school, then becoming an author for military magazines while also still in elementary school (which means she was reading and writing at an adult level while in elementary, so if we aren't comparing her to Junko she's actually a genius herself), then being a publicized missing persons case in middle school when she ran off to join Fenrir (which would be in 2007).

Given that all of this is under the name Mukuro Ikusaba, that means she came up with the name Mukuro Ikusaba and was known by it while still in elementary school. Which suddenly puts "Corpse Warblade" into perspective. That is the pen name of a highly literate elementary schooler obsessed with warfare and turning herself into a honed killing machine. It's pure "ow the edge".

Daily Danganronpa Fun Fact #156

Junko’s first name includes the kanji 盾, which means shield. Mukuro’s surname includes the kanji 刃, which means sword or blade.

Anybody here who could make really dope edits and videos? 

Because I’m currently obsessed with Tiffany Giardina’s ‘I’m Not Crazy’ and I think it would be a fun song to make a JATP fellas appreciation edit to. Especially at the break down. 

It would be cool to mirror Julie’s line ‘I’m not crazy” and Luke’s “We’re all a little crazy..” and then jump into the edit. 

I don’t know. Just throwing ideas out there.

Chapter 1:I'm new! You want to be my friend?

Saturday January 5, 2002.

To say that you did not expect this weather on January 5 is an understatement, you were always used to the summer heat in January, with a cold Coca-Cola in your hand while you played with your older brothers, HA! you thought your parents were crazy, the one who mostly They will pack warm clothes before leaving the house they left behind, but finding yourself in the cold of the United States is something else. How the heck do things work here? You thought in your young head, hell, you didn't even understand why your whole family left the country and left your grandmother in the old house, she was part of the family! Why didn't she go herself? You cried the whole plane ride wishing your grandmother was with you, she was so sweet to you, you cried yourself to sleep. The next thing you saw when you woke up was that they were making important purchases for a new house that they were given, beds, dishes, sheets, etc. and they were loading everything in a big truck, you had fun with your brothers with the novelties that were in that store, almost breaking some things, but nothing happens if you don't, right? Suddenly you demanded like a little girl that they buy a small white wooden horse that you saw and it seemed beautiful, they consented to you, they didn't want another 3 hours of crying... you were quite capable of it.

After buying everything they went to eat something at a nearby gas station. They were like those movies that Dad rented! You wanted to see it all like the curious girl that you were even though all they did was put you in a high chair and a plate of chips with orange juice. Hey! You weren't a baby, you were 5 years old and you even knew how to read and write in English and Spanish... for the most part, your family was amazed by that milestone and your mom called you "Mi pequeño prodigio" and you puffed out your chest with pride. [N/A:my little prodigy]

After they took you back to the car they rented, you fell asleep in your little chair again until someone woke you up, it was your mom, you looked around in an almost empty room, a mattress on the floor and no sheets, not yet they had made the bed —(Y/N), it's good that you woke up, as we already arrived and since you're a big girl, you'll have a room for yourself, isn't it fantastic? — your mother spoke again happily, after leaving From the daze of sleep, wait Room to yourself? Fantastic! You not longer had to share a room with your older sister, it was unbearable to sleep.

—¡Soy una niña grande!— you laughed childishly, a moment, it means that …—Mamá? Will I also go to school?— you asked doubtfully and she nodded —Of course my love, I'll see to it that you are admitted to Hannonfield Elementary— She said with a determined tone as they left the room, you didn't understand how things were going, adults know better. [N/A: I'm a big girl! ; Mom]

You looked at absolutely everything around you with a curious look before realizing that there were stairs, you were on the second floor, which you did not have in your house in Latin America, it was smaller compared to this one and that there were still things to explore. Great! Suddenly, you heard your father's voice talking to another person. Who was he?

You saw a friendly-looking blonde woman talking to your father, next to her a girl with her arms crossed almost the age of your older brothers and finally a blonde boy with a serious face and few friends, about your age, that postcard intimidated you so you hid behind your older brother —Sebastian, Who are they?— you said timidly, he turned to see you to get you out of your improvised hiding place —They are our neighbors from the front, the Myers , they came to welcome us, come on (Y/N) don't be afraid, they won't do anything to you— he practically threw you towards your father

—Oh, sleeping beauty woke up, come and say hello— your dad said in his characteristic affectionate tone, I took you by the hand, standing between the boy and the blonde woman, that woman crouched down to your level —Hi darling! You must be (Y/N) right?— you agreed —My name is Deborah Myers and he is my Son Michael— you watched him for a few moments without knowing what to do, your father laughed at the situation —say hi, Princess— your father insisted.

—Eeeh, ummm h-hi— you said to Michael while waving your hand —Hi— he said dryly, although the answer was short, you thought it was cute, why? You do not know. —Michael, why don't you be a gentleman and show him the street and play a little?" said his mother Deborah, while your parents nodded. —Yes, honey, go play— your mother said as they pushed you outside, perhaps they didn't want you to get in the way. the move and the adult talk of your parents, typical.

Michael and you were outside your new house, you looked around you, suddenly you realized something, it was very different from your old neighborhood. You were so enthralled with the details of the houses and trees that you did not realize that Michael started walking alone —Wait! Don't leave me here alone—you ran towards him claiming he didn't stop —Our parents said we had to be together— You spoke to him again, he didn't answer you. Was he shy? —Hey, it's okay, you don't have to be ashamed to talk to me, I'm already 5 years old, I'm a big girl— You said trying to gain confidence, his steps were long and you tried to copy them as you could —I'm 6 years old, I'm older than you— you frowned —so what?— you said shrugging your shoulders —I can speak two languages, I can speak English, , y ahora hablo español— [N/A:and now i speak spanish]

The blond boy tilted his head without understanding the last thing you said in that language —you talk weird— he mentioned, you not wanting to be embarrassed, you challenged him —I can also run very fast, faster than you— you smiled defiantly —that's a lie— Michael snorted —Yes? try it to the corner of the street— you said confidently, it may be a little taller than you, but you're faster, or so you thought —done— Michael agreed, who also looked confident.

They got into their positions and the race started, he didn't seem to make an effort at first, however he was alarmed when you were ahead of him and tried a little harder, he didn't want to lose to "an annoying girl", meanwhile you gave it everything to win, you also hated losing and you always challenged your brothers, they were bigger than you and it was an unfair advantage, so they always bothered you when losing, with Michael you didn't want that. Arriving at the promised point there was a slight difference, but neither of them knew who was the winner, because they were gasping for air, so an argument began —I won!— you said triumphantly —It's not true, you did cheating— the boy complained, You denied —Yes it's true, I'm ahead of you and I got there before- you replied —It's not true, no...— He said starting to lose heart, oh no —Okay, you win this race, so that You see I'm good— Michael frowned —I don't want your pity— he said, for some reason he was upset now —I understand, so another challenge to see who wins— That encouraged him, he nodded and started running towards a wooded area —Yes don't hurry up then I'll win, big girl— Recovering your energy, you ran towards him, trying to keep up with him —Hey, wait for me! It's not fair!— You complained.

When you found him he was standing in front of a tree—Finally you're here— he said mockingly —You started running first— you demanded —It doesn't matter, let's see if you can climb this tree, it's easy, I've done it a lot of times— That tree? You don't see a correct angle to lean on, you hesitated to try it because it looked dangerous —You're afraid... don't do it if you're weak— he simply said thinking that you weren't capable —No!, you'll see I'll do it— you lied, yes You were afraid, but you wanted to see yourself brave before him. You walked towards that tree and tried to climb it as best you could with your strength —Maldito gringo, verás que no soy débil— you said between your teeth, while you put all your strength into climbing, he looked at you expectantly with his arms crossed while he tilted his head again without understanding what which said —You spoke werid again— Michael muttered to himself, it was really strange for he.[N/A:Damn gringo, you'll see that I'm not weak]

And so they were able to challenge each other for the rest of the day to see who was stronger than the other, since they both didn't like losing, they would never admit their defeat and would end up with another even more childish challenge. With each absurd competition, you would say some phrase in Spanish that he obviously didn't understand at all, but he would begin to enjoy it, something that never happened with another person.

In the afternoon, your brothers and Michael's older sister found them in the park, the two of them on the ground next to the swings, another challenge to see who jumped the farthest, they scolded you for dirtying your winter clothes, you showed them the tongue mockingly, if they weren't your parents you didn't care much about the scolding, although they didn't say anything to Michael, it's as if his sister didn't care how he looked. On the way home you reflected on everything that had happened with him, maybe you could be his friend... you felt warmth and fun being with him, wasn't that it? Friendship Yes! That would be great! Also, you don't deny that you had fun with him today, even though the guy would get angry and rude when you won.

They arrived in front of your house and were going to say goodbye, now or never —Hey Michael, do you want to be my friend?— he froze, his eyes widened at the sudden question, no one has ever wanted to be his friend, at school they always do. they hit the big ones or he got into trouble —I… We're just neighbors— he said and ran home, his sister had already gone ahead. Were they just neighbors? Oh no, you wouldn't give up so easily, you like him a lot, you want his friendship, this would be a personal challenge, you thought as you walked into your house, tomorrow will be another day to win his friendship.

Meanwhile in Michael Myers' room, he felt uncomfortable as he pondered why did his mother have to be so nice to the neighbors? In addition to forcing him to be with a girl who spoke strangely! Now his mood changed to annoyance, he only did that because she insisted and he did not want to lose to a stranger... of course, it was that, it is not that he likes to like her, for nothing, besides, he is sure that if she saw him at school she would surely change her mind quickly, all the children think the same of him, even the teachers.

(Y/N) was definitely an annoying girl, but deep in his heart he had a lot of fun with her today.

Have you ever collected any American Girl dolls? I never did, but I used to get the catalogue. Their furniture is so cool and well made and it FASCINATES MEEEEEE

ignore that I'm answering this way late and after I already posted one of my dolls

I just started collecting them over the past few months! I'd been interested in them for a long time though. It's kind of a long story. I used to get the catalogs from 2002 to 2014(? somewhere around there? it was definitely a long time and I was legally an adult when they finally stopped coming) and I would look through it cover to cover multiple times, imagining what I would do if I had every doll, outfit, accessory, and furniture piece that I wanted. The names of particular items are still ingrained in my mind to this day (makes ebay searching very easy, lol). In elementary school, I read nearly all of the AG historical books from the library. I finally got a doll in 2007, Julie when she was first released, because I've always loved the 1970s.

However, even though I loved the doll, she initially didn't ignite that "spark" for me that I get with favorite toys, and I still don't know why. I loved her style, loved her story, still loved looking at the catalogs, but I just didn't know how to bond with her. My theory is that I was just at an awkward age (I was almost 12) and was transitioning from playing with dolls in a kiddie way to playing with them in older collector ways, but since I wasn't used to having an AG doll, it wasn't as simple as my never-faltering career as a Barbie collector since age two. I did try making more clothes for her a few times, and they were good for my age at the time, but I made mistakes and that frustrated me. She kinda just sat there and I eventually stored her away.

Fast forward to August 2022!! I go to an annual doll expo near me, and this is the first year they were able to have it since 2019, so I was stoked to be back and explore what was for sale. One table had some AG clothes for sale that I recognized, and seeing them in person instead of on a page was surreal, getting to see the actual size and quality, and I was like "...Okay...I could totally get into this...actually I DEFINITELY want something American Girl before I leave this place today." I walked around a bit more, and on another table stood my lookalike doll, Just Like You #23, one of the first AG dolls I ever wanted (along with Molly and Samantha). I stopped in my tracks and said "I've wanted this doll since I was a kid," and the lady behind the table says, "Well now's your chance!" I'm debating at this point, because the tag says $55 and I wasn't planning on spending that much on a singular item, but this is a piece of Evie history and I'm so drawn towards this doll, how can I not get her, and the lady must have read my mind, because she goes, "How much is she...55, no that's not right, you can have her for $30!" and now I'm about to start crying, and I'm like YES I'LL TAKE HER!

So I got my Just Like You doll, brought her home and curled her hair to match mine (AG why u no curly hair in the 2000s???), and I was instantly OBSESSED. The thing about me is that I can't love a thing without becoming a collector, so I had an urge to find even more. I discovered that they can go for pretty decent prices on the secondhand market, and I made a whole mental list of dolls/outfits/etc that I eventually want to find.

About a month ago was when I got the idea to make my custom Marinette doll; since she's such an adorable character, I thought she'd translate well to an AG doll. I spent weeks searching resell sites for the perfect doll, and I finally came across a Just Like You #30 that had had her eyes swapped to blue ones, and I knew she was the one. A few days before she arrived in the mail, I dug in our storage boxes for my Julie doll, and I brought her back into my room. This time, I felt the connection. Maybe all these years, I just needed some friends for her <3

I have three American Girl dolls sitting in front my bed now, and they're perfect for me. I'm looking forward to many future adventures, making custom clothes for them with my adult sewing skills, and adding even more of them to the family. So, that's been my journey into AG collecting!

Rachael Runyan

Rachael Marie Runyan was born on June 23, 1979, in Weber County, Utah. Rachael was a child beauty queen, having been crowned "Little Miss Sunset" the year before her murder. She has been described by her mother as a well-behaved child. 

In the late morning of August 26, 1982, Rachael Runyan and her five-year-old brother Justin asked their mother if they and their younger brother Nathan, aged 18 months, could play in the playground of Doxey Elementary School. Although Elaine Runyan had never allowed her children to play unsupervised anywhere outside the family home, because she was preparing lunch for her children when they made the request, and the school playground was just 15 feet (4.6 m) from her home, well within sight of her kitchen window, she agreed to it. Nonetheless, Runyan looked repeatedly out the kitchen window and conversed with her children as she prepared the meal.

When she called her children to lunch at approximately 12:55 p.m., only Nathan and Justin returned home. Justin blurted out to her that Rachael had been taken from the park by force moments before by a young black man who had initially offered to buy her ice cream and bubble gum at a nearby supermarket. According to Justin, the man had approached them as they played in the sandpit, attempting to lure the siblings into his car with an offer to purchase candy for the trio. When they were close to the man's car, Rachael told him she liked bubble gum-flavored ice cream. The man claimed to have this flavor of ice cream in his car. Justin said when he warned Rachael not to accompany the man any further, she began to turn and walk away from him. In response, he simply picked Rachael up and placed her over his shoulder before bundling her, screaming, into his car as Justin stood frozen in fear with Nathan standing by his side.

Elaine rushed to the supermarket the kidnapper had mentioned, repeatedly asking staff and shoppers: "Have you seen a little blond girl? A 3-year-old with a black man?" Nobody she encountered had seen her child. Approximately 20 minutes after her daughter's disappearance, Elaine reported Rachael's abduction to the Sunset Police Department.

At 5:00 p.m. on September 19, a family traveling on a mountain road in Mountain Green, Utah (approximately 50 miles (80 km) from Sunset) stopped their vehicle at a turnout close to Trapper's Loop Road to let their children play at a nearby stream and throw rocks into the water. Close to a pile of brush, the children observed what they initially believed was a doll, partly covered in shrubbery floating at the edge of the stream. On closer inspection, the children realized the doll was actually the nude body of a female toddler with her hands bound behind her back.

Rachael's relatives were able to offer tentative identification of her body from a chipped tooth and piercings in her ears. Due to the advanced state of the body's decomposition, the precise cause of Rachael's death was never established. The coroner was unable to exclude smothering as the cause of death.

DNA testing conducted on items found near Rachael's body in 2007 yielded tentative results, although they have not helped advance the investigation. Rachael's family has never given up hope her killer will be found.
