I have a silly little request for the best of boys 👉🏻👈🏻 Can I please please please get protective DogDay over a reader who is pretty short and harmless looking? He gets "Thank you" pets after he deals with the threat. Thank youuu (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)
[A/n: I hope you like this anon! I don't know why but I found this one particular difficult to write. So I really hope it turned out alright.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ain't no mountain high enough
DogDay would protect you from anything. He swore it the day you saved him. It didn't matter from what or when he would do everything in his power to keep you safe. Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough and all that.
The point is he would do anything to keep you from harm.
Though he knows that you are plenty capable of handling yourself. He’s seen it but sometimes it was so easy to forget. He remembers when he first saw you. Even through all the dirt and grime your face held a particular gentleness to it. Like you wouldn't hurt a fly. He has been surprised to put it simply.
Everything about you was unexpected. From your round open features and your rather small stature.
That was why it was so easy to forget that he didn't need to protect you all the time. Not that you ever scolded him. Honestly it felt like you were endeared by it. Like right now.
DogDay was breathing heavily as he snarled and snapped in the direction of the little critters. The tiny beasts had attempted to swarm you. For what he could take a guess. But it didn't make much sense. They didn't leave the Playhouse and the fact they did put him on edge.
But it was a bit hard to focus on that when you ran up to him, praise falling from your lips like a waterfall. Your arms came up to wrap around his neck and he would never say it outloud but the way you had to balance on your tiptoes to reach him was really cute.
“Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here.” Your voice came out a cooing lit. Your fingers running through his fur made him want to melt. He would worry later, right now he just wanted to bask in your affection.
“Of course. Anything for you though I know would have figured something out.” And he was sure you would have but he is still overjoyed that he could be there for you.
“Maybe but I like it much better having you around to protect me.” You were smiling up at him and he couldn't resist. Dogday nuzzled the top of your head, and arm coming to loosely wrap around your waist. Holding you close he reiterated his promise.
He would protect you from anything. No matter what.

IWTV INSP - MerMay Pt23: Armand
The creature moved towards him. He had a mass of black tentacles that transitioned from the waist into smooth brown skin, the ombre of it swirling across the creature’s skin.... His eyes, like orange-tinged amber, looked at him with bright interest.... Dark curls haloed his face, moving freely in the water, as he drew nearer.... “I mean you no ill will, little bride,” the creature said with a smile.... “My apologies if this is your territory,” Louis said politely and firmly.... “I meant no disrespect by my intrusion. I will take my leave if I may....” The creature smiled. His face lighting up with an amused glee, the grin showing off a mouthful of sharp fangs, and Louis steadied himself against the tremor of fear that went through him. “Such manners,” the creature said, looking at him with keen interest, “are you Made? Are you from the surface? Have I caught myself a little yearling siren?.... Tell me of the surface....”  “It’s… dry,” Louis said blandly. The creature laughed. It was a sharp and cruel sound despite the musical note to it. “Oh, I can see why you were Made,” the creature said, “Tell me, delightful thing, are you marrying your Maker?” “Yes,” Louis said.... “I am.” “....My name is Armand, so you may stop thinking of me as creature,” the creature--Armand--said warmly with amusement, “and what might I call you?” “Nothing. I’m nobody,” Louis said defiantly, “No one....” “I am many centuries old,” Armand said.... “Ask me any question your heart desires and I will endeavour to answer. Consider it a gift for you to celebrate your nuptials.....”

MY THOUGHTS & CC CREDITS
MY THOUGHTS
My only advice for Louis about Armand:
Tumblr media
CC CREDITS
- Mermaidia lot/world
- Armand's hair IDER, black hands by @venusprincess-ts3, claws at TSR, octopus tail by @niobecremisi
- Protip: When toggling the Black Lights on lots, your sims' skin with look darn near pitch black, and their clothes will glow white. To undo this, just activate the Vampire Virtual Override with Nraas' Debug Enabler (yes, even if your sim isn't a vampire). It will remove the glowing clothes effect and give your sims a matte, almost greenish color (which intensifies if you have EA's full moon lighting on from the SN EP, like I do). Something's better than nothing.

Are you and the last person you kissed in a relationship or just friends?  I don’t keep contact.
Has anyone ever pointed out that your laugh was unusual?  Hmmmm, I don’t think so. I feel like that would be the type of comment that would get to me so I definitely would’ve remembered it.
Would you get a lip piercing?  I don’t plan on getting any piercings.
Nose piercing?  Nopes.
What are you currently waiting for?  For this fucking day to end so I can be closer to Thursday and to the weekend.
Do you have feelings for anyone?  Nah.
Have you ever run over an animal?  Nope. I’ve had extremely close calls with animals who suddenly dart into the road, but fortunately these have all been situations wherein I got to hit the brakes with nobody behind me.
Have you chewed gum after someone else already has?  That’s disgusting, no.
When people sneeze do you say ‘bless you’?  Sure, out of habit and just to be polite.
When was the last time you were on a bouncy castle?  I don’t think I’ve ever been on a bouncy castle, but I’ve been on a lot of bouncy other things haha, like inflatable slides, soccer balls, Anpanmans, etc. The last time would probably be a nearly a decade ago; I definitely haven’t been near one in a while.
Have you ever went on a bouncy castle whilst drunk?  Well no, because the ones I’ve been on were situated in school fairs, which is the last place I would want to be drunk in.
Have you ever entered an art competition?  No, I have no justification to join one haha.
What is one thing you will never do? Try hardcore drugs. < Same. 
What is one food that you detest?  Pineapples.
Did you have a rebellious phase growing up?  Yeah I was a bit of a handful to raise, but I’m in firm in my stance that it had a lot to do with the way I was raised. I grew up mostly without a father figure because my dad worked abroad and I felt neglected by my mom who had her own shit to deal with. There was no stable support system to lean on, so I ended up lashing out a lot in my puberty years. Unfortunately everyone else just saw a rebellious child and not a plea for help.
These days when I show off my achievements on social media, I’ll see congratulatory comments from my mom’s friends and she’ll usually go on about some “late bloomers grow with time” narrative and it pisses me off because nobody knows how much I’ve had to grow and mature and learn how to be happier all by myself, all from scratch. If I had just received the proper care and attention early on, I wouldn’t have had to do any catching up to begin with.
What religion were you brought up with? Roman Catholic.
Are you still that religion?  Jesus no. I darted out of there as soon as I gained the consciousness to think about these sorts of things.
Do you often find yourself questioning your future?  Sometimes, but I do my best to not let it get to me.
How many friends do you have on Facebook?  Over 670.
What sort of music did you listen to when you were in high school?  I started with punk rock in the first half of high school, so I had my Rancids, H2Os, Against Me!s, Cro-Mags, etc on my iPod. It evolved a little bit towards more indie, folksy sounds towards the latter half - Banks, alt-J, Hozier, Twenty One Pilots - which I largely attribute to the crowd I was part of at the time.
What pet names do you use with your significant other?  I’m pretty straightforward so baby works out for me. Other, more specific pet names just grow naturally with the relationship, I think.
What’s the name of the store you usually get your groceries?  S&R.
Have you ever seen a theatre show?  Yeah. Most of them have been required.
What’s your favourite vegetable?  Broccoli or bell peppers.
Have you ever missed a flight?  Never. I’ve experienced several delayed flights, though, which is always such a hassle especially if the delays happen in provincial airports since they never have any recreational offers to keep passengers from getting bored other than TVs that run the same damn five ads.
Do your neighbours have any pets? Have you ever met them?  Yeah, a lot of have dogs. I’ve met some.
What color is your bedroom door?  Brown.
If you were ever to become famous, would you grow annoyed at fans?  Only towards obsessive ones who wouldn’t give me time to breathe or would go so far so as to stalk me or my loved ones. But I am a fan too, so I imagine I would actually be understanding of those who would ask for pictures or whatever as long as they were polite and not at all intrusive.
Have you ever met your favourite band/singer?  Nah. I am terrified of meeting celebrities HAHA so I’ve always shut down the chance. I’m pretty sure I would actually turn down the chance to meet BTS if I hypothetically suddenly got the magic keys to that door.
Are you embarrassed by any of the songs/singers/bands you like?  No. I feel like that sort of thing just happens in like high school, when your friends are still a bit judgmental. Nowadays I don’t see why I should be embarrassed of anything I like, especially if it’s not hurting anyone.
Have you ever written a story?  I’ve made attempts but was always terrible.
Think of the last poem you wrote: What inspired you to write it?  My homework that required me to write said poem hahaha.
Do you have a chance with the person you like right now? 
What’s the weirdest thing you were scared of as a child?  Watching commercials at night. It’s still a slight fear of mine but it’s mostly dissipated now.
Are there any embarrassing stories your family tells about you?  About me? No. I don’t have a lot of those since I was a really shy kid who barely moved a finger anyway.
In your opinion, what is the funniest TV show?  I have a *really* soft spot for Perfect Strangers, which I actually revisited yesterday :) The show was never super popular so it’s near impossible to find clips online, but when I checked YouTube I did see a slight increase in short snippets from the show so I had a really fun time binge-watching yesterday.
What is the maximum number of children you’d ever have?  Three, but that’s pushing it. Ideally, I’d have two so my first would have company.
Have you ever been concerned you had a serious illness?  Mental ones, yes.
Are you comfortable with who you are?  For the most part, yes.
Would you date someone even if you knew you’d get made fun of for it?  No. Why would it be any of their business?
Does popularity matter to you at all?  I mean, yeah in the sense that I honestly aspire to be well-liked by as many people as possible. But I don’t necessarily want to rub shoulders with popular kids.
Would you ever consider homeschooling your children?  Continued from sometime this week ider. No. I don’t think I’m capable of teaching, and generally I’d want them to be able to learn in a more open environment where they can have regular contact with different kinds of people.
Who told you about the band/singer you are currently listening to?  Well Angela got into them first and since we’re best friends, there was a certain point where she just decided to loop me into conversations that involved them. I was impossible to sway for a long time, but then one day a video compilation of them showed up on my feed, and for some reason I actually watched it, and I watched all the way through, and I was immediately intrigued – particularly by J-Hope haha. I then asked Angela to tell me more about them and the rest was...financially irresponsible history HAHAHAHA
Do you ever read fanfiction?  OMG yes. Funny you should mention that because my favorite author uploaded a brand new fic this morning, which I obviously couldn’t get to all day because I had to go to work. I’ll be reading it in all its 44,000-word glory tonight :D
Would you rather die in a plane crash, ship wreck or fire?  Plane crash. Instant and mostly painless.
What are your top five favourite TV shows?  Breaking Bad, BoJack Horseman, Friends, The Crown even though I was never able to continue it since...andddd that’s all I got.
What is your favorite superhero movie?  Not a fan of superhero movies.
If you died next week, what would be the cause of death?  Stress from overworking. I’ve FINALLY started to consider taking a leave for the first time this year because I’ve just realized just how fucking exhausted, burned out, and overwhelmed I actually already am from having no rest at all in the last 13 months.
Have you ever taken a break from Facebook or other social media? Why?  Yes, I do mass deactivations when I’m severely depressed. These days I can’t really afford to that anymore, though, since my work is closely tied to social media.
Who is the most talented person you know?  Probably Andi.
Are you currently platonic friends with anyone you’ve had sex with?  No.
Where did you and your current interest go on your first date? 
Have you ever experienced two people fighting over you (physically or mentally)? What happened?  Nah. I’ve had two people like me at the same time, but there was never any tension to watch out for since they mostly didn’t know each other.
Have your parents ever thought you were gay? What happened?  I think they know I dated Gabie and that we broke up because they’ve stopped asking about her. Everyone knew we were best friends, so the fact that they’ve avoided her as a topic for a whole year is able to tell me something.
Are your parents more liberal or conservative?  Dad’s on the liberal side, mom dances around on the spectrum a little bit. I know she’s fine with things like tattoos and having LGBTQ+ co-workers, but she’s also conservative especially towards matters like religion.
What year are you going into at the beginning of the next academic year?  No longer in school.
How far away does your closest family member live?  A few footsteps away.
If you’ve seen both, did you prefer the Disney version or the Tim Burton version of Alice in Wonderland?  It’s not my type of movie/genre to begin with.
Would you have sex before marriage? Why or why not?  Yes. I don’t see the big deal; I’ve already done it anyway.
Are you more liberal or conservative?  Liberal.
Who is your favorite Harry Potter character?  Ooh not sure. I haven’t gone back to the books in a while, so I don’t remember if there was anyone I had an attachment to.
What’s the worst that could come out of letting gays marry?  Nothing.
What’s the most sexual thing you’ve done?  Had sex...I guess? And a bunch of stuff that comes with it.
Name something that you are against.  Racial discrimination.
Why are you against it?  Because it is infuriating to see, and it shows me the very same treatment can happen to me or my family as well and that scares me, especially since some people turn particularly violent towards people of color.
Have you ever played the Tomb Raider games?  No.
Do you like it or hate it when your partner is clingy?  I imagine I wouldn’t enjoy it if I’m not as into whoever my next partner would be.
Beatles or Rolling Stones?  I don’t listen to either.
When was the last time you changed your opinion on somebody?  Not so sure about a whole change in opinion because that hasn’t happened in a while, but I grew more grateful for my manager today because I finally mustered the strength to tell her that I’m begin to struggle mentally with work and she not only encouraged (read: begged) me to file a damn leave for once, but she also got sushi delivered to my place.
What was the last thing that made you feel proud and why?  Andi was telling me about their day today and how they handled being misgendered by a prof, who then proceeded to throw a fit when he got corrected, and how they, again, maturely handled said fit. I was proud of them because there are a million ways that incident could’ve turned out, but they dealt with it in an extremely mature and calm manner considering they were the one who was wronged.
Do you feel uncomfortable when people you hardly know confide in you?  If it was about an extremely personal problem I would probably be taken aback at first, but I still would definitely make some time for them and help in however way I can, since they apparently trust me enough to confide.
What was the last thing to fascinate you?  The music video for My Universe! Super cool to watch and I love that they made a short film out of it too.
Is there a certain noise/sound which scares you?  Doors being slammed shut, because that’s what my mom does when she’s furious. She did that when I was a kid and she does it to this day, so I get extremely nervous when I hear the sound, even if it happens by accident.
Do you have a favourite microorganism? Nope.
Out of the people you know, whose birthday is next?  My cousin Bree.
If you have pet fish do you bother to name them?  I did when I had them as a kid.
Do you keep your eggs in the fridge?  Yes?
Have you ever owned chickens?  Nope.
When did you last listen to music?  Like five minutes ago. I tried to have a jazz playlist on but I realized I wasn’t in the mood for music so I changed my background noise to have a random VLive on instead.

Au/Ra on Writing Fan Fiction, Anime, and Not Having to Always “Stay Happy” [Q&A]
Tumblr media
Meet Au/Ra, the new wave cool girl carrying the dark pop genre into the light. The singer has lived quite a life and made remarkable career moves in spite of only being 17. After touring with the likes of ALMA, Lewis Capaldi, and Nina Nesbitt, Au/RA is back to releasing her electronic-backed, vividly emotional singles like “Dance in the Dark” and “Medicine.” 
With her eye-catching green hair tied back in a ponytail, we got a chance to talk to Au/Ra about her Caribbean upbringing, Lord of The Rings, and her brand new music video for “Stay Happy” just before her show at School Night in Los Angeles.
OTW: Soundcheck sounded great. Is this your first show in a while?
Au/Ra:: Yes, in a while! It’s crazy how time flies by so quickly, because I was on tour here last year ALMA. I haven’t been back since then, so it’s really cool.
OTW: I know you mentioned previously playing AnimeCon. I’m wondering if your album artwork is a nod to anime at all?
Au/Ra: It definitely is an ode to anime, I’d say. I’ve been really inspired by the art and culture behind anime. I think at the very start of my making music, I always had it in my head that all of my artwork would be illustrated. I just didn’t see myself as an artist with a bunch of photography with my face on everything. 
OTW: Wow, you know it’s a hot take to do that!
OTW: Yeah, we just kind of continued with it. And I don’t plan on stopping because I just really love how it looks. I do wish I could draw like that though. It’s not me, because I’m terrible at drawing!
Tumblr media
OTW: Oh so am I! I can only do stick figures and such. 
Au/Ra: Same! I’m all doodles. I think the only thing I can draw is anime eyes. I’m just not good with full faces! But I’ve been working with different illustrators basically. It’s so crazy because the way I found them was just by DM’ing them on Instagram. I’ll go on an explore page and go through anime art. Then I’ll look up the illustrator and DM them, like, “Are you looking for commissions?” 
OTW: They’ve done great work! So you were raised in Ibiza and moved to the Caribbean. How did all of this happen?
Au/Ra: It’s sort of a strange thing, and I grew up thinking it was normal! And of course, all of my friends there had a story like that. They had all moved there with their families from different countries as well. Some had been born and raised there, so I think it’s something we all did get used to. And now since everyone’s started moving away, and doing their own thing, we’ve all come back to the island and been like, “Wow it’s a big world out there. And the way that we’ve been raised here, is not normal!” It’s different. 
OTW: What was it like? I mean you live where people vacation!
Au/Ra: Kind of! That was kind of like the thing. But it was different after you’ve lived there because you experience all sides of the island. It’s a beautiful place and I’m so lucky to have grown up there. The beaches are stunning, the food is amazing, and the people are lovely. But there definitely are some struggles too. Like sometimes there is a lack of resources, especially during droughts. We had to order like 15 water trucks to fill up our cistern. Hurricanes, power cuts are a regular thing as well. It’s an island! 
OTW: Has living there influenced your music at all? Or at least how you approach music-making? 
Au/Ra: It definitely did. I think the reason why I got into creative writing and songwriting was because I didn’t really have access to TV or the internet for a while. It really gave me time to focus on that. And eventually, when I got my laptop, I started uploading and writing everything there. But I think it’s just the outlook–you know, treasuring resources more. I mean right now, it’s so crazy with climate change and everything that’s happening in the world. 
That, of course, has been happening for ages, but now people are actually talking about it. Like Greta Thunberg; She is so cool. I’m in awe of her. She’s wise beyond her years. But I’ve been more inclined to talk about things in my music that aren’t talked about as much. Definitely growing up with not having access to certain things all the time, and seeing what that is like when you don’t have water or power anymore. I think it formed a different perspective I have on things. My first song “Concrete Jungle” really addressed all of that. That and several social issues too. 
OTW: On the subject of writing, I read somewhere that your stage name comes from a Lord of the Rings fan fiction you wrote.
Au/Ra: Ugh! I’m such a nerd! It’s really funny because I started writing and getting really into Lord of the Rings when I was 12. I could even speak Elvish for a little bit.
OTW: Oh wow so when other kids went Harry Potter, you went Lord of The Rings. 
Au/Ra: I went Lord of the Rings, yeah I went back! (laughs) I had such a big crush on Legolas. After watching the movies, I read the books and got into it. Then I wrote fan fiction about one of the characters, and her original name was Aurethial. I always loved the word aura, and what it meant. When I was 14, I went back to that when I was thinking of what my artist name should be. I might as well use that. The slash, I wish it had a big meaning behind it but, there is another artist Aurora. She’s Scandinavian and really cool. She was up-and-coming then, and I didn’t want to confuse people. 
OTW: Lovely origin story! Speaking of origin stories, I know you’ve been doing this for two years, but when did you really start getting into music?
Au/Ra: When I was 12, that’s probably when I was officially like I want to do this. It’s only five years ago. I was in the same choir since I was nine, so I think that helped me get over my stage fright. I always loved singing, and my family is in the music industry. Music was always something I was around the creation of–my dad’s a producer and mom is a songwriter. I actually worked with them before I worked with anyone else.
Tumblr media
OTW: Nice, so they were pretty supportive of this?
Au/ra: Ehh, no... At first, they weren’t. No.. (laughs) They were like, “You can’t do this.” We had gone through quite a hard time being in the music industry though, especially in the early 2000s. You know, when streaming was first developing and physical sales were going down. So they were like “No, no, no. This is not a promising career right now.” And I then I just took matters into my own hands and started uploading Youtube music videos. My dad saw them and was like “Oh this is not-” and he helped me start making proper videos.
OTW: So once they saw you were serious about it-
Au/ra: I was really stubborn too. So once they saw how dedicated I was to it, they were more supportive and open to taking me seriously. 
OTW: We’ve got to talk about “Stay Happy.” It touches on so many things I think us young people struggle with, like fomo and making new fake friends. Where did the idea for “Stay Happy” come from?
Au/Ra: I was going through a weird time where I was really neutral. I wasn’t very happy or sad. It was just kind of like this weird middle feeling, and I didn’t know what to do. I thought it would just go away after a while. But I found after some time that if I tried to make myself happier again, I was just faking it. So like what do I do? And writing about it was part of what helped me solve it. As cheesy as that sounds, that actually just helped me figure out what it was and accept it. It’s just a phase. It’s alright, and life can be like that sometimes. And there are other people who feel this way too. So it’s a nice reminder that everyone has little happy/sad moments and that’s life. 
youtube
OTW: Life has its ups and downs. The part about life hacks too–that got me.
Au/Ra: Yeah! You know you go on wikiHow and look up things? That was the whole thought behind the video. It was me trying stereotypical ways to make myself feel happy again. I did have an idea to have a puppy. I’ve been trying to get a puppy into a music video for a while now. I just wanted the puppy to lick my face, but me be ignoring it, as if I’m sabotaging my own happiness by ignoring this cute puppy. That didn’t work. I feel like all of my videos are pretty dark. But this one is much more quirky. 
OTW: When is even more new music coming?
Au/Ra: Soonish. It’s all being planned. You can always count on me to release new music. I won’t just disappear. 
OTW: Who are your Ones To Watch?
Au/Ra: I absolutely love girl in red. She’s incredible! I also love Cavetown and IDER. They’re great. I saw them live last month and they were amazing.

Fuck;
I feel like shit right now. And not like, sick or anything. Just a shit person. But i can’t talk to anyone about it because I literally don’t see anyone. Ever. I mean, I have plenty of opportunities to see the people i care about and love. But I always have an excuse. I don’t know if it’s the constant anxiety or the fact that I do not trust anyone anymore, but I have distanced myself from everyone so I don’t get hurt. I chose to be alone, before I’m forced to be alone. If that makes sense? I feel like everyone who I was close to has changed so much. And we have nothing in common anymore. We’re strangers connected by our past. And I feel like we’re all afraid to let go of it. I am a shit person. For all the parties, and nights out that I’m invited to but I don’t show up. I mean, i want to. And I plan on going. But then at the last minute, my emotions get the better of me and I just.... don’t go. I get all these intrusive thoughts. Like what if they don’t think my jokes are funny. What if I say something stupid. What if I have nothing in common with them anymore? The only people who I call my best friends. I can’t even bring myself to trust them about anything anymore. I’m always afraid everything I say will eventually be used against me. So I’m never truly happy. I’m never really myself. No wonder I’m fucking depressed.
Idk. I guess a big part of it has to do with my elementary school days. Not once, but twice, i befriended groups of girls. Got close to them, yanno, as close as you can get when you’re 9 or 10. And then all of a sudden I’d come to school one day and have no friends. I couldn’t sit with them at lunch. They’d run away from me at recess. And I never understood why. And eventually all my secrets would come out. I’d get nasty notes in my desk and backpack. People would steal things out of my lunchbox because I’m “fat and shouldn’t eat it all anyways.” At 10 years old. I mean, eventually i met a group of girls who I liked, and who were pretty cool. But eventually we grew apart because we just didn’t like the same things. But they were nice and I still would consider them friends. Finally in middle school. Something changed. Idk what it was. I think it had something to do with me being able to make fun of myself. I was the funny kid, and I think that showed all the mean kids that they have nothing to make fun of me for if I was already laughing about it myself. I developed a little bit of confidence and gained the friends I have today. My best friends. Adrian, Amanda, and Tyler. We’d walk home together everyday. Hang out outside of school. They were just as weird as I was. I have never felt more comfortable around anyone else in my life. I love these motherfuckers to the moon and back. And I always will. It’s just not the same kind of love anymore. I feel obligated? in a way. Which I know sounds totally bad. But I have nobody else. I had friends in high school. But that just rehashed all the elementary school issues. My first day, I met Shiane. And she was weirdly cool, and nice to me. And I met Dillon, who helped me get to Vannoy’s class before saying he was going to skip it himself. lol But eventually I started to like DIllon as more than a friend, and ruined that friendship. And Shiane was... well, Shiane. It was just too dramatic for me. But being from such a small high school, everyone was friendly. But nobody was my friend. Oh except Eve! Ider how we met. But she was always there for me. It just sucks that we live so far away from each other and both have jobs and school. I definitely will always remember Eve as a true friend. And then there was Jorge and Jaclyn and Mariah. We were all pretty close too. Jorge moved away to go to college. Jaclyn started hanging out with other people. Mariah and I got into this huge fight about, idek what. I thought it was about my car, but I have no idea what it ended up being about. We just cut the friendship up. And that’s when everything started to fall apart for me. I couldn’t vent about anything, anywhere. Like, this is what I do. I blog. I have since middle school matmice days. lol and I couldn’t because everything I said got twisted and turned around, and sent to the people I was no longer friends with and fueled even more arguments and fights. I couldn’t talk to the friends I had left because Jorge and Amanda were away in college. Adrian was involved with a new girlfriend so he was MIA. I had Tyler. Who was telling me everything I was doing was okay but I couldn’t understand why I was getting so much shit for it. The first time I try and defend myself against people, and try to get them to understand my point of view and I failed. So I stopped getting close to people again. I don’t want to see them. I don’t want to get close to them. It’s too much. I had Emmanuel, at this point. And I know he’s a great guy, but I don’t trust him like I used to. Mainly because every single time i’d go out with him, he would want to talk about Mariah. And i was over it at that point. And i knew everything I would say, would get back to her, and she would say I was still talking shit about her. So I told him something I hadn’t told anyone else. Because I had my suspicions that he was the leak, I just needed proof. I talked to him about it, and I didn’t see another single person for like 2 weeks. And sure enough. I was told to keep her name out of my mouth. So that ended that. I now had nobody else to vent to. I bottled everything up. Until eventually I broke.
Now I’m back to how I was in middle school. Crippling anxiety. Feeling like I’m never good enough for anything. I’m tired all the time even though I don’t do shit and sleep most of the time. I don’t move. I don’t eat. I like to pretend everything is okay, and I check in on Snapchat and facebook with all the “good things” happening. I’m going to school at least. But I can only bare to do online classes because being in public alone like that scares the shit out of me. I’m on so many medications, and now I’m about to lose my insurance so Idk how I’m going to afford them. And I’m not saying all this for the pity. Or so people feel bad for me. I just want them to understand. This isn’t about just one incident. This shit has been happening to me my entire life, and it’s the reason I’m so fucked up. And maybe it is all my fault. I’m a bitch. I talk shit. I tell people when they’re fucking stupid. But that’s all I know. Because if I don’t do it first, they’ll do it to me. If i don’t put the attention on them and their mistakes, it comes back to me and what I did. And there you go. More friendships down the drain. Goooooood. Why the fuck am I like this!? I want to just be a normal person. But instead I sit here alone, staring at the assignments I have to do, but not actually doing them. Listening to Taylor Swift and talking to my cats. Because why the fuck not right?
Amanda wants to hang out, and I tell her I can’t because I’m sick, or have school, or I’m working. Even though I haven’t been there in like 3 months.
Adrian and Kayla invite me to everything, all the time. But I don’t go because what if someone I don’t like is there? I don’t want to be in an awkward situation that leads me to panicking and just going down hill from there. Which sucks because I love that family and I miss Melanie so much. And I haven’t even met Oliver yet.
But they’re the only 2 friendships I’ve had since middle school. I don’t want to fuck it up by doing something stupid. I can’t be alone again. Even though by doing this, I am alone.
There are literally 3 people in my life that i trust. With anything and everything. And I don’t deserve them. They are wonderful people. And I love them so much. We have a weird chemistry, of talking only when it’s convenient and I don’t feel pressured to be anyone but myself when I’m with them. I can say and do what I want and there is no judgement. Jennifer Rodriguez, you are an amazing person. You and this next person are probably the only 2 people who are going to read this entire thing. lol But you were the first one of Adrian’s girlfriends who I actually got along with Which, idk why that’s such a big deal. It just was at the time. And even though you aren’t together anymore, you continue to be a great friend to Tyler and I. We have the deepest of conversations and you even lived with us for a while. And it wasn’t weird at all. (Which is amazing). Thank you for being the wonderful and unique person you are. We love you Jennnay! Annnnddd Emily Rivera. We met in high school, but weren’t really close friends. She ended up on Shiane’s side for a while, and I couldn’t understand why. So that led me to be a complete bitch and cut her off for a while. It wasn’t until after high school, that we started to get to be friends again. And I feel like it’s just going to get better from there. This one night, we went out to Applebees, with Tyler as our DD. And we both were DRUNK. That was probably the best night I’ve had in years. It was so much fun, and I wish we could do it again. But I can’t drink anymore ): lol Anyways. We have the same dark and creepy sense of humor, which is a plus. And our friendship basically consists of sending each other snapchats and talking about our lives. Which is nice. Especially since I don’t feel comfortable going out yet. She’s another person who I can tell something to, and get an honest opinion without being judged. What more could you ask for in a friendship? <3 And the third person is Tyler of course. He’s been here for over 9 years. And I can’t believe he still is. He helps me get through panic attacks, and deals with me in my manic episodes. He knows when to shut the fuck up and just hold me, and when it’s okay to bring sensitive things up. These past couple years have been tough on us. Me not working as much, buying a house, and finding out we can’t start a family because I can’t have kids. But he’s still here for me. Even though we’ve been talking about having kids for a couple years now, he’s okay with the fact we’re going to have to wait til we can afford to adopt. Which is... just wow. Like, he could leave me, and go have a family and a house with someone else. But he chose to stay with me, by my side through everything. And I couldn’t ask for a better fiance.
I have no idea where I’m going with this anymore. Like i said before, I use tumblr to vent and shit. Just whatever happened to come to mind at the time came out. So now I get to prepare for all the shit I’m going to get in response to this. Like, i get STRANGERS telling me to kill myself. In what world is that okay? This is MY blog. I get to post what I WANT. And if you really don’t like it, why are you reading it? Mental health is something that a lot of people don’t understand and they think it’s not such a big deal when it is. So, just think about the other person before you go and post that bullshit about how I just want attention or I want to start an argument. Sometimes you just need to let it all out. And this is my way of doing that. This is my way of letting everything go, and starting over, and finally trying to move on. I need to get better. It’s time

The Linc - Eagles rank last in touchdown passes longer than 15 yards
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...
NFL evaluators make picks on Week 8’s best games - ESPN In$ider The Eagles have their own issues. Much focus is on the cornerback spot, and rightfully so. But their Total QBR is down from an elite 78.1 at this point last season to a league-average 57.3 so far, while their defense has actually improved its QBR allowed, from 52.5 through seven games last season to 46.7 so far in 2018. Based on ESPN’s expected-points efficiency metrics, the offense and special teams have fallen off much more this season than the defense has fallen off. Looking more closely, this Eagles team isn’t getting the long touchdown passes that helped turn games last season. The 2018 team has two touchdown passes longer than 15 yards, tied for last in the league with Oakland, Tennessee, Baltimore, Buffalo and Houston. Philly had seven at this point last season. ”This is a tough call, but I will take Philly,” another insider said. “Too many things going on with Jacksonville right now.”
NFL Trade Rumors: Eagles exploring cornerback options - BGN With the Giants clearly in fire sale mode, I don’t doubt that Jenkins is available. But I don’t think the 30-year-old corner makes sense for the Eagles. Jenkins would cost nearly $7 million in cap space for the rest of the 2018 season before carrying a $14.75 million figure in 2019. Conley makes much more sense for the Eagles. The 2017 first-round pick is only 23 years old. He’s inexpensive and under contract through at least 2020, prior to his fifth-year option potentially being activated for 2021. Conley has fallen out of favor with the Raiders as he’s been benched for former Eagles corner Daryl Worley.
The Kist & Solak Show #33: Jaguars’ Offense Preview, Ben’s Nuclear Trade - BGN Radio Join Michael Kist and Benjamin Solak as they go over a wild trade option that Ben concocted.. does it make any sense? Also, can the Eagles’ defense rebound after allowing 21 straight points to the Panthers by shoring things up against an anemic Jaguars’ offense?
A look at Carson Wentz’s 29 career fumbles - PhillyVoice The other significant issue with Wentz is that he has 29 fumbles in 34 career games. That’s a lot. #Analysis. Because quarterbacks are often credited with fumbles that aren’t always necessarily their fault, I thought it would be useful to take a peek back at all 29 to see what they looked like.
Present, But Not Permanent - Iggles Blitz We don’t know how things are going to play out this year. The Eagles could get hot and win five games in a row. They would get the attention of the rest of the league. The team could continue to win one, lose one and hover around .500. I don’t see this team falling apart and finishing 6-10 or something like that. Anything is possible I suppose, but I think there would have to be even more injuries. This team has Carson Wentz, one of the best QBs in the league. Wentz is playing at a high level. You aren’t going to win without good QB play unless you have a spectacularly good defense or a lot of fluke plays going your way (see the 2017 Bills). The Eagles still have plenty of other talent. The OL is good. Jeffery and Ertz are terrific pass catchers. Cox, Graham and Bennett give them a trio of very talented pass rushers. Bradham and Hicks are talented LBs. Jenkins is still a good safety.
Debrief: Things we know (and things we don’t) after Week 7 - NFL.com It’s cliche to say that NFL games come down to a single play or two, but it’s a cliche because it’s true. I don’t think any differently about the Panthers and Eagles after Sunday’s game. They look like two roughly even, rugged NFC teams with defined strengths who have the goods to improve their weaknesses and make a playoff run with a little fortune. Similarly, little separated the Bucs and Browns, the Chargers and Titans, the Saints and Ravens and the Cowboys and Redskins on Sunday, but there will be grand postgame conclusions and meaning drawn, blame and credit assigned until we do it again next week. There is something unsatisfying and uncomfortable about recognizing what a massive, perhaps dominant role randomness plays every NFL Sunday in determining the latest standings. It’s as if we want this sport that we invest so much time in to make more sense than it really does, to apply some order after the fact where it doesn’t. I choose to embrace the chaos, accept that many teams are roughly equal, and try to separate the trends with staying power from the things we can’t possibly know ahead of time. Which is most everything.
NFL Week 8 NFL Network Philadelphia Eagles @ Jacksonville Jaguars Preview - PFF The Eagles defense has allowed 509 passing yards from hurry-up offenses this year, the most among defenses. The Jags would be wise to use that to their advantage as they go up against the Eagles in London.
Eagles at a disadvantage in London - NBCSP The Jaguars have done this trip a bunch. This will be their sixth time playing at Wembley Stadium. The Jags are 3-2 in that stadium but have won their last three straight there, including a blowout 44-7 win over the Ravens last September. In those three games, the Jags have forced eight turnovers while giving up just one of their own. Pederson credited an advanced team the Eagles send across the pond back when the schedule came out this spring. A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes to prepare them for this trip. It’s not like a bunch of other teams haven’t gone before, but the Eagles needed to figure out how they were going to handle it. In many respects, the Jaguars have an advantage. Many of their players have done it all before and they know what to expect. The Eagles are just hoping their preparation will make Sunday’s game as normal as possible. Then, they just have to get out there and play better.
Any Given Sunday: Panthers over Eagles - Football Outsiders Where have the Philadelphia Eagles gone wrong as an offense? It’s a weird question to ask as you see another hyper-efficient Carson Wentz start hit the books. Wentz has 227 passing DYAR in just five starts. More to the point, the traditional statistics look even gaudier than that. Wentz is completing 70 percent of his passes, has thrown 10 touchdowns and just one interception, and he’s got a top-10 adjusted net yards per attempt figure. And yet, since he came back, the Eagles are 2-3 and have scored more than 23 points once. Part of the problem has actually been Philadelphia’s rushing offense. Those Le’Veon Bell and LeSean McCoy rumors? They weren’t planted just because Jay Ajayi went down. Philadelphia has struggled to generate much in the rushing game since Wentz has come back. In Weeks 1 and 2, non-quarterback rushers combined for 25 DYAR. Since Week 3, they’ve generated -13 DYAR, and even that undersells how bad they’ve been a bit. If you limit it to just the last month of the season, the Eagles don’t have a single runner with a positive rushing DYAR, and that total number drops to -51 DYAR.
The Bortlesfly Effect Is the Key to the Football Universe - The Ringer Jacksonville has repeatedly chosen to stick with Blake Bortles at QB, no matter how poorly he’s played. This decision has shaped the fate of the Jaguars’ franchise—and perhaps so much more.
Should the Jaguars change starting left tackles? - Big Cat Country The Jacksonville Jaguars signed former first round pick and New York Giants offensive tackle Ereck Flowers two weeks ago and he’s yet to play for the team. The Jaguars, who placed their first two left tackles on season ending injured reserve, have been operating with Josh Walker at left tackle.
Review: Should Cody Kessler be starting for the Jaguars instead of Blake Bortles? - SB Nation Blake Bortles is still the starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He’s had three straight horrible games that ruined a 3-1 start and dropped the Jaguars below .500, but coach Doug Marrone still says Bortles under center gives the team “the best opportunity to win.” That may end up being true when the Jaguars travel to London to face the Eagles in Week 8, but it definitely wasn’t the case in Week 7. When Bortles left the field, Cody Kessler took over and the Jaguars offense finally looked halfway competent again.

Eagles News: Philadelphia's offense is facing too many third-and-longs - Bleeding Green Nation
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...
Eagle Eye: Plain And Simple, Offense Didn’t Win On First Down - PE.com Going through the film from the heartbreaking loss against Tennessee, there are a handful of plays on both sides of the ball that clearly affected the outcome of the game. Let’s focus on the offense here and see what went right and what went wrong in the loss. The Eagles were one of the best third-down teams in football in 2017. Right now, they rank 17th in the league, but on Sunday, they were just 5-of-15 on the day. Wentz completed just 4 of 11 passes, was sacked once, and posted a quarterback rating of 89.2. Why were the numbers so bad? Look at this stat. On 15 third-down snaps on Sunday, the Eagles needed to gain an average of 9.67 yards for a first down. That means they were looking at third-and-10. That’s not a winning formula, and it certainly impacted the Eagles in this game.
11 things we learned from the Eagles’ disappointing loss to the Titans - BGN One reason why I still feel relatively optimistic about this team’s outlook is because the Eagles still have one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Overall, Wentz looked sharp on Sunday. Despite facing a ton of pressure, Wentz managed to complete 66% of his 50 attempts for 348 yards (6.96 average), two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 99.4 passer rating. Wentz threw with great velocity and accuracy. His numbers would look even better if he didn’t have to deal with an inordinate amount of drops.
Camden awards Eagles’ Pro Bowl safety Malcolm Jenkins with the key to the city - PhillyVoice What can’t be lost, and who was also recognized throughout the various speeches was Gwendolyn Jenkins, Malcolm’s mother and president of the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation. “If there is a way to cut the key in half, I would,” Malcolm said. “This key is probably going to end up in her house, because my mom is the one who really, really puts in the work and makes this go. It was great to hear everyone up there today mention her. She’s the one who puts in the hours to make it go, and I definitely wouldn’t have received this award without her.”
The Eagles’ Slow Start Is More Than Just a Super Bowl Hangover - The Ringer Despite having Carson Wentz back and one of the most talented rosters in football, Philly is just 2-2 through the first quarter of the season. Is this merely a blip? Or do the defending champs have cause for concern?
Contender Angst Index: Top NFL teams off to the worst starts - ESPN In$ider Low angst: The Eagles barely beat the Colts and barely lost to the Titans in the two games since Carson Wentz returned from knee surgery. That isn’t much to go on. A veteran evaluator said the Eagles’ chances will hinge on their ability to get and stay healthy at receiver, running back and in their pass-rushing rotation. That assumes Wentz can stay healthy as well -- no sure thing after the Titans hit him 11 times Sunday. And it assumes the Eagles can restore a secondary that entered the season with question marks at cornerback and is worse off with safety Rodney McLeod on IR. The rest of the NFC East isn’t running away from the Eagles, diminishing the angst level for the defending Super Bowl champions.
These Eagles are far from a great team right now - NBCSP You can’t imagine the 2017 Eagles losing that game in Nashville because there’s no way that version of the Eagles ever loses that game. Maybe there’s a Super Bowl hangover, but I don’t think their struggles are for lack of effort. I think it has more to do with being the reigning Super Bowl champions and getting their opponents’ best each week. The Titans celebrated after the overtime win like they had won the championship. Every single team the Eagles face this season is going to give it everything to beat the champs. We talked about that bull’s eye this summer; now we’re seeing it.
Week 4 NFL Team of the Week - PFF Kicker: Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles – 81.1. Elliott only made two field goals on the day, but both were extremely important. The first sent the game into overtime, while the second put the Eagles in front in overtime before the Marcus Mariota to Corey Davis game-winner gave the Titans the victory.
Chip Kelly remains winless in his return to college - PFT In San Francisco Kelly went 2-14, and he lost his last two games with the Eagles. Add those records to his four losses at UCLA and Kelly is 2-20 in his last 22 games as a head coach. For a coach who went 46-7 in four seasons at Oregon, that has to be hard to stomach.
Monday Morning Pleighbook: Fitzmagic is dead. Long live Fitzmagic. - SB Nation The Chicago Bears crushed the Bucs, Earl Thomas sent a message, and Alvin Kamara has left the building in Week 4’s Monday Morning Pleighbook.

Aquata then drink the water
Alana yeah jeez Alana no point in being noble if you cant lift your own head up
Ariel But then I'll forget the good things, too.
Andrina how about you tell us all the good things?
Alana such as,,
Ariel The good things that happened and all the good stuff I remembered.
Andrina you write them down for yourself
Alana very detailed
Andrina then you'll still have them. you can remind yourself and we can tell you that its real
Ariel But can you tell me how it felt? All those memories with Jim being so nice to me and helping me and playing with me when we were younger and telling me that he would keep me safe? Ariel Can you tell me about how Jim was there for me every step of the way? Ariel How can you explain how good of a person he was to me if you can't tell me about seeing Mom's death?
Aquata holy shit it was a fake life you know him in real life, right? you know what hes like already
Alana look kiddo, that's the stuff you gotta let go of because that was some fake mumbo jumbo past that we all got stuck with
Andrina That's why you write it all down and you tell yourself. Andrina and honestly yeah-- that isnt the real jim and you should like jim for jim, not for fake jim.
Ariel But it was real Jim that was there with me in hell
Aquata i was engaged but whatever
Ariel I mean - it was Pleiades too, but it was also Jim
Aquata HOLY SHIT NO IT WASNT Aquata IT Aquata WAS Aquata FAKE
Alana yah thank god or andrina and al would be banging
Aquata that crazy bitch created it. it wasnt real. end of story.
Andrina the horror, the horror,
Ariel Jim being with me in hell wasn't FAKE, it was REAL. I was there. I saw it and felt it all, and so did he. The past lives may have been fake but what we went through was REAL
Andrina Seriously-- I think you should write down the stuff that you like then. I do. Jim will understand that the other stuff is just too painful to death with right now. He'd want you to be okay, Ariel, however you need to be okay.
Alana ariel i have no bloody idea what you want us to tell you that andrina has not repeated ten times now
Aquata then do what andy said, write down the good memories, and drink the damn water because you cant complain about the bad and then immediately not want to forget the good
Alana atty where r u we need parental guidance
Andrina ok chill out aquata she can complain if she wants Andrina we dont need atty to be decent fucking sisters
Alana she listens to atty
Ariel It's okay, nevermind. I shouldn't have said anything. Just forget it
Alana so i think itll mean more coming from her Alana fineee just trying to help
Andrina Ariel, it's not okay. Look, if you don't want to forget about it, then thats' fine. If you want to like, talk about it and stuff, we should talk about it. I joke but yeah it wasnt exactly fun not knowing where my sisters were and watching daily executions by some whacked out nutjob
Andrina so you can talk to me ok
Ariel I just want to know how you guys have done this for so long
Alana done what
Attina Look, everyone. Nothing about this experience was something anyone has gone through before. Which means we have no idea how to deal with it and YELLING at each other isn't the way to fix it. We need to be patient and understanding towards one another. Ariel, I'm so sorry about what you went through. But, you have to realize that you hurt us by LEAVING. You didn't tell anyone where you were. I thought you were dead. Daddy thought you were dead. I thought I'd lost you and I don't know exactly what went on for you but for a good twelve hours, all /I/ could see was /you/ dying over and over in a thousand different ways. We need to come /together/, and be open and willing to talk to each other during times like this. Otherwise we'll just splinter apart, and I know none of you want that.
Alana oh there u r
Ariel I thought I was doing the right thing. Not telling anyone I was going. I didn't want anyone to worry. I just wanted to go and save everyone, but I couldn't
Attina No. You couldn't. Because we're supposed to make these decisions /together/ as a family. We're weak apart.
Aquata we're not weak
Ariel I don't believe that
Alana whoa okay speak for yourself Alana that was for atty not u ariel
Andrina look im just so glad that you're okay and im proud of you for trying ariel. we shouldn't be talking about any of this over text though
Attina and this is exactly why all of you get into trouble!
Ariel I don't know how else to talk about it Ariel No one ever does
Andrina well that means we can't do it wrong huh? we'll all just kinda fumble it up together but at least we'll be in the same room
Ariel If I get into trouble for trying to save you all, then I'm fine with that!
Alana better get into trouble than be boring
Attina I'd rather be boring and alive than whatever you think you're being and /dead/.
Alana im not sure who youre yelling at here because im not the one who ran off into the land of the dead Alana theres a difference between oh lana broke curfew and oh ariel and kid hero jim hawkins decide to save the world
Andrina can we like not yell at each other at all how about that Andrina whats done is done
Ariel If Attina would stop pretending she knows everything, maybe there wouldn't be any yelling
Aquata holy shit
Alana i think you scared her off ariel
Andrina i hereby move to wipe this text history and start over Andrina who seconds my motion
Ariel I didn't want to scare her off, she just was talking like I didn't know what I was doing
Attina I don't think I know everything, but I know not to run off to HELL to try to save the world on some selfish delusion of grandeur.
Ariel I knew what I was doing
Alana ohp too late andy
Attina oh really, is that why you're so terrified you can barely speak?
Ariel I wasn't being SELFISH, I was trying to SAVE everyone. To save YOU. And Aquata and Alana and Andrina and Arista and Adella and Daddy and myself Ariel EVERYONE
Attina BULLSHIT ariel, we were perfectly fine.
Ariel You were SLAVES Ariel we were SLAVES Ariel people were in a JAIL in PRISON Ariel people were EXECUTED Ariel How could you even say that?
Attina THOSE PEOPLE WEREN'T /US/ THEY DON'T MATTER
Alana this isnt some YA book a 17 year old does not save the day Alana i mean realistically
Ariel Of course they matter!
Alana if you wanna do something you gotta work within your means
Ariel Why are our lives more valuable than anyone else's??
Alana cold, atty
Ariel I can't believe you would even say that!!! Ariel What if Paul had been in prison?? His life doesn't matter???
Attina not as much as yours, or any of you.
Ariel That's not right
Attina and i'm sure he'd say the same thing. his babies are more important than me to him. which is how it should be.
Andrina glad we're casually debating morals and ethics
Alana anyone want a face mask
Ariel I'm not going to apologize for doing what I thought was the right thing, for trying to help everyone
Aquata how about a shot instead
Alana im game
Attina I'll take that shot.
Andrina this reminds me of something my darling mcwiggin said to me
Attina Or two or three. Attina just give me the whole bottle.
Aquata or the whole bottle
Alana jinx now you guys cant talk till i say your name
Aquata too bad 
Alana what did mcwiggin say
Andrina nice, digital high five
Alana wow now you get 7 years of bad luck aqua :C
Andrina he said, andrina, you are the most beautiful creature i've ever seen Andrina (we'd just finished making love under the sunset) Andrina and i was like u know what al tiberius mcwiggen
Aquata shit im doomed forever
Alana that's poetic
Andrina you're right.
Attina now i need two bottles
Alana next movie night's gonna be awkward when we pick up the dvd
Aquata you need to go hit him up andy Aquata were sending you to get it
Andrina alas, it cannot be Andrina he has another lover
Ariel Maybe if she gets drunk she'll actually step off her high horse and say something that doesn't involve her knowing what's best and always being right
Aquata for fucks sake
Alana i h8 to break it to you ariel but atty has like nine years more experience of like existing in the world Alana and interacting with it
Ariel That doesn't make her right about everything
Attina Whatever, Ariel. You're the one who needs to come off your high horse. Don't come crying to me when someone knocks you off it.
Alana makes her more right when it comes to dealing with shit
Ariel I won't. You'd just yell at me, anyways. It's all you know how to do.
Alana thats not true she cleans very well
Andrina she also makes killer lemon squares
Attina Well if you weren't a brat, then I wouldn't yell at you.
Andrina probably not as delicious as the delicacies that al tiberius mcwiggin purchased for me from the market but close
Alana you gotta hit him up
Ariel I'm not being a BRAT, don't CALL me that
Andrina he has another LOVER what am i to do
Alana flash your tits Alana age old triton advice
Aquata does he /really/ though
Andrina he doesnt like me for my tits 😟 Andrina he likes me for my personality 😟
Alana gasp Alana the horror
Andrina i know tbh maybe he's gay Andrina no he's not he made wild and passionate love to me
Alana did u guys like Alana do it as yourselves
Attina Well, stop acting like one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Andrina 69
Alana like not fake selves
Andrina corkscrew Andrina monkey Andrina koala
Alana koala
Andrina all that and more
Alana nice use of the shrug emoji, atty Alana 10/10
Ariel I am NOT acting like one! You can't keep treating me like I don't know anything and like you know everything because you DON'T. Just because you're older that doesn't make you all wise or something. In fact, most of the time you don't know what to do - you can't even flirt with a boy and you're way older than I am! Ariel So STOP being such a rude, bossy know-it-all, I'm sick of it!
Aquata ummm im pretty sure she /can/ flirt with a boy considering shes been on a couple dates with paul?
Alana ouch ariel low blow
Aquata thats neither here nor there though
Andrina oh right we also did the flying ninja Andrina his form was impeccable Andrina for such a robust man, he's graceful in the bedroom
Attina Fine, if you want me to stop babying you. FINE. Consider it done. You're officially NOT MY CONCERN.
Alana i did not need that imagery thanks
Ariel GOOD. I don't NEED to be your concern. I SHOULDN'T be.
Alana is THIS random CAPS thing something WE'RE doing NOW
Andrina hOW exCitING
Aquata can we not
Ariel You moved out. I already have to deal with Daddy. I shouldn't have to deal with you BOSSING me around and saying you know best like this. You're not Mom
Alana low blow ariel
Aquata so about that shot Aquata or bottle
Alana i can swing by ur room in 5, aqua Alana i have malibu
Aquata get here in 2 then Aquata because i need the entire bottle rn
Alana so demanding Alana omw

Eagles News: Philadelphia's offense is facing too many third-and-longs - Bleeding Green Nation
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...
Eagle Eye: Plain And Simple, Offense Didn’t Win On First Down - PE.com Going through the film from the heartbreaking loss against Tennessee, there are a handful of plays on both sides of the ball that clearly affected the outcome of the game. Let’s focus on the offense here and see what went right and what went wrong in the loss. The Eagles were one of the best third-down teams in football in 2017. Right now, they rank 17th in the league, but on Sunday, they were just 5-of-15 on the day. Wentz completed just 4 of 11 passes, was sacked once, and posted a quarterback rating of 89.2. Why were the numbers so bad? Look at this stat. On 15 third-down snaps on Sunday, the Eagles needed to gain an average of 9.67 yards for a first down. That means they were looking at third-and-10. That’s not a winning formula, and it certainly impacted the Eagles in this game.
11 things we learned from the Eagles’ disappointing loss to the Titans - BGN One reason why I still feel relatively optimistic about this team’s outlook is because the Eagles still have one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Overall, Wentz looked sharp on Sunday. Despite facing a ton of pressure, Wentz managed to complete 66% of his 50 attempts for 348 yards (6.96 average), two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 99.4 passer rating. Wentz threw with great velocity and accuracy. His numbers would look even better if he didn’t have to deal with an inordinate amount of drops.
Camden awards Eagles’ Pro Bowl safety Malcolm Jenkins with the key to the city - PhillyVoice What can’t be lost, and who was also recognized throughout the various speeches was Gwendolyn Jenkins, Malcolm’s mother and president of the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation. “If there is a way to cut the key in half, I would,” Malcolm said. “This key is probably going to end up in her house, because my mom is the one who really, really puts in the work and makes this go. It was great to hear everyone up there today mention her. She’s the one who puts in the hours to make it go, and I definitely wouldn’t have received this award without her.”
The Eagles’ Slow Start Is More Than Just a Super Bowl Hangover - The Ringer Despite having Carson Wentz back and one of the most talented rosters in football, Philly is just 2-2 through the first quarter of the season. Is this merely a blip? Or do the defending champs have cause for concern?
Contender Angst Index: Top NFL teams off to the worst starts - ESPN In$ider Low angst: The Eagles barely beat the Colts and barely lost to the Titans in the two games since Carson Wentz returned from knee surgery. That isn’t much to go on. A veteran evaluator said the Eagles’ chances will hinge on their ability to get and stay healthy at receiver, running back and in their pass-rushing rotation. That assumes Wentz can stay healthy as well -- no sure thing after the Titans hit him 11 times Sunday. And it assumes the Eagles can restore a secondary that entered the season with question marks at cornerback and is worse off with safety Rodney McLeod on IR. The rest of the NFC East isn’t running away from the Eagles, diminishing the angst level for the defending Super Bowl champions.
These Eagles are far from a great team right now - NBCSP You can’t imagine the 2017 Eagles losing that game in Nashville because there’s no way that version of the Eagles ever loses that game. Maybe there’s a Super Bowl hangover, but I don’t think their struggles are for lack of effort. I think it has more to do with being the reigning Super Bowl champions and getting their opponents’ best each week. The Titans celebrated after the overtime win like they had won the championship. Every single team the Eagles face this season is going to give it everything to beat the champs. We talked about that bull’s eye this summer; now we’re seeing it.
Week 4 NFL Team of the Week - PFF Kicker: Jake Elliott, Philadelphia Eagles – 81.1. Elliott only made two field goals on the day, but both were extremely important. The first sent the game into overtime, while the second put the Eagles in front in overtime before the Marcus Mariota to Corey Davis game-winner gave the Titans the victory.
Chip Kelly remains winless in his return to college - PFT In San Francisco Kelly went 2-14, and he lost his last two games with the Eagles. Add those records to his four losses at UCLA and Kelly is 2-20 in his last 22 games as a head coach. For a coach who went 46-7 in four seasons at Oregon, that has to be hard to stomach.
Monday Morning Pleighbook: Fitzmagic is dead. Long live Fitzmagic. - SB Nation The Chicago Bears crushed the Bucs, Earl Thomas sent a message, and Alvin Kamara has left the building in Week 4’s Monday Morning Pleighbook.

so there’s an asoue tag game going on and im doing it hell yea hell y ea
favorite book in the series: I think The Reptile Room, probably because it was likely the happiest point for the Baudelaires in the series...before it all went to hell.
when did you read them for the first time: ider honestly...i think it was when the movie was announced? cause i think i was into jim carrey as a comedian back then?? i dunno
favorite character: I think it might actually be Monty; come to think of it, this is probably a large part of the reason why I put RR for my fave book in the series.
kit/dewey or kit/olaf: Kit/Olaf is tempting, however it begs the question of why in the world Kit would be attracted to a man who apparently resembles at least one of her brothers??
favorite quagmire: Isadora. Cartography and Journalism just aren’t as relatable for me as Poetry is.
favorite baudelaire: honestly, probably Sunny. All the kids are great but she’s just so damn witty like how could anyone NOT love her?
favorite snicket: Oh man that’s hard. I like all of them.
did you see the 2004 movie in theaters: i dragged my mom to see it before it broke my heart with its terribleness
thoughts about the movie: many thoughts which i’ve said before, but put simply it has its good parts but the bad pacing and self-dismissiveness are major roadblocks
favorite quote: Memento Mori....idc if it doesn’t count that phrase has stuck with me ever since i read it in this series
have you ever met daniel handler: no
thoughts about ATWQ: Never read any of the supplementary books (Beatrice Letters included) so no thoughts. (Do wanna read them though)
favorite ATWQ character: n/a
favorite moment in ASOUE: two full pages of darkness. absolutely legendary.
would you ever get an eye tattoo: ya know i never considered it but yea that’d be a good one, huh. i mean im not one for tattoos but that’d be rad.  fire-fighter or fire-starter: fire-fighter, I would presume
least favorite character: The person i copied this from said Nero and i was erasing it but honestly? yea, I’d probably say Nero too. Like I could reasonably handle practically anyone else in the series but Nero is just insufferable to the nth degree.
did the quagmires survive: yes, of course they did, every good person survived, obviously :’’’’’)
in your opinion, what is the great unknown: I think when I did my reread I just automatically assumed it was the Incredibly Deadly Viper, and then when I was going through asoue wikis in preparation i read that apparently the great unknown is revealed to be a cryptid of some sort in one of the supplementary books??? so probably Ink’s great-grandfather or something idk
did you like the way the series ended: when i first read the books, i was disappointed by the lack of answers. but now i have a greater appreciation for ambiguity, so yes.
what question do you most want answered by handler: WHO HAS THE SUGAR BOWL. (That’s my more superficial answer, but tbh I’m okay with a lot of the questions that were left unanswered. It’s just the way the asoue world is, there are things that cannot be answered until the right time, and sometimes that right time is never. Not to mention that uncertainty and lack of stability are cornerstones of the universe.)
what are you most excited for about the netflix series: Honestly, just seeing a visual adaptation past book three. That and production design and easter eggs and AHHHHHHHHHHH
binge watching or spacing out the episodes: ...i legit made sure i got the weekend off from work SPECIFICALLY to binge watch lmao
favorite dedication: i’d be lying if i said my mind didn’t instantly go to “Darling, Dearest, Dead”
