i had a lot of fun writing the whole thing, but the teeny tiny excerpts i attach to posts aren't my 'favourite' parts per se, just what i think sums up that chapter best. little tasters. my favourite part of 3 was the nick and longfellow deadwife brigade convo. Old Man to Old Man Communication.
Old Man to Old Man Conversation
#dead man talking#dead woman walking#dmt#dww#nick valentine#fo4#fallout 4#the rule of noir pastiches is if somebody doesn't say something snappy every 8 words#legally a stranger is entitled to break your legs#i like the idea of a running bit where nick keeps getting trapped. it's very in keeping with the genre#the head injuries those guys take just to wake up somewhere else....

Premises Liability Lawyer on Keeping Your Premises Safer
If you slip, fall, and are hurt on someone else’s property, an experienced premises liability lawyer can help. Belal Hamideh has assisted many like you to receive the maximum compensation for all that they have been through. That said, there are steps that property owners should take to make their premises safer and thus reduce the possibility that there could be an accident on their property.
The last thing anyone wants, when they invite someone onto their property, whether as a friend, customer, or in any other fashion, is an injury. Below are some steps that you could take to make your property safer and reduce the possibility that someone will hire an experienced premises liability attorney after having been injured on your property.
Prepare for the Young, the Elderly, and Pets If your guest list includes children, it’s crucial to assess your home for potential hazards. Items like sharp objects, glass decorations, poisonous plants, and exposed electrical cords or outlets can be particularly enticing to little ones. If there could be kids on your property, take the proper precautions. And, if there aren’t to be kids on your property, let that be known clearly.
Elderly guests, especially those using canes or walkers, may be at a higher risk of slips and falls. To help ensure their safety, consider assigning someone to assist them as needed. Be mindful of potential trip hazards like loose electrical cords or decorations that could cause a fall. Creating a clear, unobstructed path can make a significant difference.
As with all of these tips, these are true whether you have your own store, are having people over to your home for a gathering, or anything else.
Pets can make any event more fun, yes. But, consider the comfort and safety of both your pets and your guests. If your pet tends to get anxious around strangers, commotion, or small children, it’s wise to find a secure and quiet space for them during the gathering.
Even the most well-mannered pets may react unpredictably when stressed, so taking precautions can prevent any unfortunate incidents.
If you were injured on someone else’s property by their dog or other kind of animal, Belal may be able to help you to recover compensation then, too.
Managing Space and Avoiding Hazards When setting up your space, allow extra room around the table to minimize the risk of tripping over chair legs, particularly those of lightweight folding chairs. If guests arrive with wet shoes or boots, they can create slippery spots on the floor. To address this, place non-skid mats in areas prone to moisture. Additionally, ensure that your driveway, walkways, and steps are clear, dry, and well-lit.
Bright lighting in common areas, (whether those include living rooms and family rooms or parking lots and laundry rooms), is crucial for maintaining a safe environment. Adequate lighting not only makes it easier for those invited to navigate the space.
What Can Happen in a Slip and Fall Accident
Slip and fall incidents can lead to a variety of injuries, each potentially life-altering in its own way. If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, pain, suffering, and other losses. Belal Hamideh and his team are here to support you through the legal process and help you get the compensation you deserve.
Minor Injuries (That Can Worsen)
While sprains, strains, and the like might not sound as severe as a broken bone or a head injury, they can still be incredibly painful and debilitating. Sprains and strains can limit your mobility, make it difficult to work, and require ongoing medical care.
Even if you didn’t break anything, you could still have a strong case for compensation, particularly if your injury has impacted your ability to earn a living or enjoy your life as you did before the accident.
Serious Injuries That Affect Your Way of Life
Slipping and falling can cause fractures in various parts of your body, including your arms, legs, fingers, toes, and even your spine or neck. A broken bone is never just a simple injury; it often requires significant medical attention, including possible surgery, physical therapy, and an extended recovery period.
Some of the worst injuries aren’t those that break bones, but rather, cause internal damage you can’t see. For example: traumatic brain injuries.
A slip and fall can easily result in a traumatic brain injury, especially if you hit your head during the fall. Even what seems like a minor fall can lead to a serious injury, such as a skull fracture or TBI, which may have long-term consequences.
A slip and fall can also result in nerve damage, dislocations, or other injuries that are just as serious. These injuries can cause long-term pain, discomfort, and disability, affecting your quality of life. Since each slip and fall is unique, the resulting injuries can vary widely.
Premises Liability Lawyer Who’s Ready to Assist
If you’ve suffered any kind of injury from a slip and fall on someone else’s property, there’s a good chance that we can assist you in pursuing a claim for damages.
By taking the precautions listed above, you reduce the odds of being liable for someone’s injury on your premises. No matter the injury, the consequences of a slip and fall can be profound. If your accident occurred due to someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden alone. Belal Hamideh is ready to use his experience to help you navigate your case and work towards the best possible outcome.

As Long As It Takes
Prompt: #107 for @listlessmaenads – “Come for a drive with me.”
Anonymous said:
Hey Chelle! Can you pretty please, do a drabble request for me? Jaebeom, S2L or F2L, your choice, with this prompt? 107. “Come for a drive with me.” I'm ready to die instantly upon reading. - The Other Kat. (listlessmaenads)
Pairing: Im Jaebum x reader
Genre: strangers to lovers
Warnings: none
Word count: 1472
“Come for a drive with me.”
You should have said no.
After all, who in their right mind gets into the car with someone they barely knew?
Then again, you hadn’t been in your right mind for days. Still, warning bells were flashing at the back of your head right now as you opened the passenger door to the car, hopping in without stopping to contemplate a single second further of doubt.
It wasn’t as if he was a complete stranger, you reasoned. Jaebum was someone who often frequented the coffee shop you worked at, and much like most regular customers, you had learned little details about him outside of his order you now knew how to make perfectly each and every time.
Except, you wouldn’t be doing that anymore.
Slipping the belt around yourself, you shivered due to the chill now seeping through your sodden clothing and into your bones. Before you could do anything, Jaebum had reached for a blanket from the back seat and wrapped it around you, then turned up the heating.
Had he taken pity on you and your sudden unemployment? You stared at him in small increments, growing bolder the longer you did so. Was he always this handsome or had you simply fallen for his charms of giving you a carriage ride away from your misfortune? It was easy to relish in the comforts of a warm car when outside was lashing with rain. The skies were letting loose much as you had to your boss just before. You wanted to laugh. You had the urge to cry.
Instead, you stared at Jaebum.
“Where do you want to go?” he eventually asked, eyes still on the road. Hands tightening around the steering wheel. You realised Jaebum was anxious in your presence.
He had done his part as a fellow citizen by now. He had removed you from the situation that had left you standing on the side of street staring to the heavens entirely helpless. He really didn’t need to do anything more for you. You smiled weakly. “You can just drop me off at the nearest bus stop.”
“Why?” He shot you a look and then shook his head. “No, it’s fine. I want to take you somewhere.”
“Where?” you implored and he shrugged, which made you giggle. When had you last laughed? The sound surprised you, falling effortlessly from your mouth.
It made Jaebum relax as well. “Anywhere you want to go. I’ll take you there.”
“Even if it’s far away?”
“Even then.”
“Because you’re a fellow human in this world surviving through the daily grind?” you asked and Jaebum shook his head.
“I don’t pity you, Y/N. What you said to that jerk of a man was well-deserved. What he was subjecting his staff to is illegal. You are entitled to breaks and to deny the right of someone who needs to go to the bathroom is inhumane. Sticking up for your fellow staff member wasn’t the wrong thing to do.”
“Got me fired though,” you mused with a sigh. “Which I really didn’t need since my roommate just disappeared overnight without paying this month’s rent the other day. I snapped because I wasn’t diligent enough and too self-involved with my own issues.”
“You’ve done enough,” Jaebum assured and you went back to staring at him, this time, Jaebum picking up on it and darting his eyes between you and the road repetitively. His cheeks coloured. “What? Is there something on my face?”
“Mm.”
He frowned and started to wipe at himself all over. You giggled as he grew exasperated. “What is it?!”
“You have kindness in your eyes. Do you go and save all the damsel’s in distress on a regular basis?”
“Actually, this is my first time,” he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck before chuckling. “I’m not a weird guy, I promise.”
“I wouldn’t have gotten in the car if I didn’t trust you.”
Jaebum stilled for a moment and then smirked. “How do you know to trust me?”
“Because,” you started with a roll of your eyes, folding your arms across your chest. “You openly show your emotions.”
“Really?” he glanced at you momentarily. “No one has ever said that to me.”
“Well, I just did.”
“And I just rescued you, right?”
You nodded. “Very much so. For the interim anyway. I still don’t know what to do with everything else.”
Jaebum pulled the car to a stop outside of a convenience store. You eyed him questioningly and he grinned, told you to wait there and then dashed inside. He returned with a bag of assorted foods – both hot and cold – and a couple of drinks. He placed the bag in your lap. “You haven’t eaten today, right?”
“How did you-”
“I work across from the coffee shop, remember? My desk’s view is directly over the street. I didn’t see you leave that counter once. Besides, you were fired for fighting for human rights so I assumed that meant your own weren’t being met either.”
You smiled and reached into the bag for something to eat first. It all smelt delicious and you thanked him before starting to eat. He took a packet of food out for himself before continuing with the drive.
“I have a good friend in the legal sector by the way. His name is Park Jinyoung and he works for a pretty successful law firm. I’m sure if we ran your unlawful dismissal passed him that you’d be able to sue for several claims. We definitely have a case here.”
“I can’t afford a lawyer, Jaebum.” You stared down at the food and then snapped your focus back to his face. He had been generous enough already and you began to wave your hands about wildly. “You can’t pay for that too!”
Jaebum laughed heartily. “Jinyoung can apply for funding so he can work pro bono on your case.”
“Wow, not only are you a great at picking me up out of my misery, but you’re also pretty insightful too.”
“Well shucks, I aim to please.”
Now that your hunger was somewhat satiated, you stared out the window as the darkened world whizzed by. You noticed a specific building and then frowned. “Didn’t we pass that before? Are we driving around in circles?”
“Well, you didn’t exactly give me directions on where you wanted to go,” Jaebum mumbled as a grin spread over your lips. You poked his upper arm and he glanced at you before matching your smile. “It’s not all that bad though. We’re still on a drive.”
“What will be our destination?”
“To be honest, I don’t know.” He gripped the steering wheel again and you hid your smile behind your hand. He was too adorable for you to handle. “I kind of don’t want the drive to end.”
“Really? You want to keep going all night long?”
“Until I know more about you,” he stated and you pulled your legs up so you could rest upon them. Jaebum glanced at you and then back at the road. “Is… is that too creepy?”
“No.”
“Are you sure? You can tell me if I’m being too much.”
“Too much over what?” you questioned as you noticed the flame of colour to his cheeks. You giggled. “You’re blushing.”
“Forget I said anything.”
You humour dissipated and you continued to stare at him. “Jaebum, I’ve seen you too, you know.”
“Seen me?”
“At work. Watching out your window. When I’m taking a break or out cleaning off tables, I look for you too. Maybe we’re not so different after all. Sure, you have a stable career and I… well, I don’t know what I’ll be doing now. But I guess there’s a reason you offered me this ride, much like I took it. And I don’t think that reason is different for either of us.”
A smile slowly curled up the corners of his lips and Jaebum nodded, finally glancing at you at a set of lights. His smile was overwhelming and you felt yourself mirroring the gesture back again, unable to pull your eyes off of him.
And then someone tooted from behind.
“Oh, uh well,” he muttered, driving off as soon as he checked it was clear to do so and then cleared his throat. “I wasn’t going to just let you stand out in the cold.”
“What’s your favourite colour?”
“Black or white, why?”
You smiled again. “Didn’t you want to get to know me more?”
Jaebum nodded and relaxed. “We have this entire drive to get to know each other more, right?”
“Just this car ride? I was hoping there would be more opportunities,” you admitted and he grinned.
“It’s not like I’m going to sell my car anytime, Y/N. We could take as many drives as it takes.”

Wink gathered by Anon Part 2 massive please read. Wink goes back further last year, anons named her wink, a most trusted source
I went through archives of JD’s and Skippy’s to find Wink’s posts. If you were to search “Wink,” various posts TALKING about Wink shows up along with her actual posts. I found that it’s much easier to find consistencies in her messages without all the other messages in between. So I tried my best to copy and paste all that I could find. I double-checked, but I’m bound to miss some. Please don’t post my username. I would like to remain as an anon.
<October 3rd> JD, there’s time for everything. Sometimes things aren’t clear, that’s were you need to be patient, being hasty only would make things worser. Patience is the key. It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. We only can call out his best energy, that he may able to bear the burden. We should use challenges to find our inner strenght. Don’t worry, no storm last forever. ;)
<October 4th> Thank you too vintage ;) “faith goes up the stairs that love has built and looks out the window which hope has opened” ;)
PC, CH, KP do know what they’re doing. There is no need to bang their head against a brick wall. There’s time for everything. ;)
Dear anon, they don’t have a 2 year agreement. But whatever agreement they have\had she still sticks to her tactic and doesn’t talk badly about the BRF in public. She uses her paid supporters for it. So you need to prove firstly they are paid by her. Without proofs it’s legally only a presumption and not a proof ;)
<October 6th> Dear anon, you’re correct. PC and HM support Harry….but not the allegedly “relationship”. You can’t support something that doesn’t exist, can you?. Markle isn’t acknowledged by them, they attach great importance to it. ;)
Dear anon, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’ m neither of the three possibilities you have enumerated. Time decides who you meet in life, your heart decides who you want in your life, and your behavior decides who stays in your life. Have a nice day everyone and God bless ;)
Dear JD and Iamstillskippy, nobody talked badly about Cressida. The comment on her as “nice girl” and M as sociopath should only show the difference in dealing with them. Thank you for your understanding ;)
<October 12th> ;) JD. By the way the Brits are deeply committed to their traditions. In these troubleful times they will do their utmost to maintain their own identity, despite immense pressure from abroad. Changing the state form is not as same as swapping the goverment. Some people should be careful what they are wish for. Even the effects of Brexit aren’t currently estimable ; )
Dear 😇, I would recommend you “The power of your subconscious mind” by Dr. Joseph Murphy. It’s a great lecture, available also as free PDF on net. Take a look at it, it’s worth it ;)
Dear anon, I’ m sorry to disappoint you, but “some tricky situations” cannot be fixed in few days. Patience is key, a jug fills drop by drop. Ultimately she plays against herself ;)
<October 14th> Dear (Non) Anon said: “Some people don’t want to hear the truth, bcs they don’t want their illusion destroyed ;)” …….I agree.
Dear anons, who are asking every week for 10 months about engagement. You have to be in a relationship to get engaged. There is no relationship and never will. Notice only the BRF ist entitled to annonce such family affair. By the way whatever Markle plans, I would say, Harry has in the UK home advantage ;)
<October 17th> Only the BRF is entitled to annonce any kind of family affair as first. As long as it doesn’t happen any “news/reports” should be concidered as an unconfirmed rumor.;)
<October 19th> JD, could you please Re/read my ask again about the meaning of the positive aspect of the “tea-party” article? Thank you ;)
<October 28th> Dear anon@ what I meant: no matter who starts the relevations about markle; whatever happens; the Royals just will go on with their daily life and will ignore her existence as until now.;)
Note to the latest ask/repost from Skippy’s blog (not all of the things that are being leaked are a lie) -> As Harry said it in early spring: “you have to be in a relationship for it to be over.. She is old news”…well nothing has changed since then, hence every rumor - except they have split - is made up ;)
<November 1st> “Someday everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason”. Cheer up JD and stay positive. Whatever happens the sun will shine soon ❤❤ ;)
I would suggest we wait till this allegedly storm comes. Will it come at all? We don’t know. Should we also expect markle is preparing herself in these days from the completely downfall? She has much more to lose than Harry. But it was claimed she signed for season 8, although she has “insider knowledge about these dirty weekends”…. So may this is a storm in a teacup? Let’s wait and see. ;)
You’re welcome dear vintage ❤ this case is like in a 4 x 100 metre relay race, one runner starts before the other but in the end it’s the sum of the four runners that determines performance. A great teamwork. As Diana said: “everyone of us needs to show how much we care for others and in the process care for ourselfes.” That is what counts ;)
<November 2nd> Dear anon@ I agree with JD that Marke isn’t in touch with the reality anymore and believes in her fantasy story, otherwise she would have to face the painful reality, where she doesn’t have any future. She would never admit that keeping her illusion alive costs her arm and leg and couldn’t accept the “friends & credibility” she had lost. She will stick to her illusion as long as she can. ;)
<November 3rd> Just wanted to add: Marke doesn’t even can control the happenings in her own life how would she be able control someone to whom she doesn’t have any contact? She doesn’t play any role in Harry’s future ;)
<November 4th> G’ morning JD, hoping you are fine. Dear ‘pr’ anon@ thank you for your effort ❤. I think, carefully calculated appearances of Harry in the following weeks would blow away markle’s plans, whatever they may be. If she lose her way to make money, she will be history in no time. Good times are coming. Life is just a journey. ;)
<November 5th> Thank you for your kind words dear wemariuniverse. God bless❤❤ and dear JD, 'time has a wonderful way to showing us what really matters ’ ❤ ;)
Remember h said in one of his messages, she isn’t in the picture anymore and everyone could notice that in the wedding. If she isn’t in the picture than she wasn’t there. Simple.;)
Don’t worry JD, you got the best supporter (h) and of course us the loyals from all over the world. I don’t care if they listen. You know, the bigger fish eats the smaller ;) i think h is on his way to Felix :)
<November 6th> G’ morning JD. Thank you dear “PR” anon for all your effort. God bless ❤ I’m looking forward to Harry’s coming appearances. Just have faith in your journey Harry. Everything had to happen as it did to get you where you are going next. Keep up the good work, happiness often sneaks in a door you didn’t think was open ;)
<November 14th> Well, after the “prediction”, just wondering what she is going to do when suits “announce” the H+M break up and also the show is over for her. It sounds like the false strategy, isn’t? ;)
<November 15th> Dear anon@ as it was once said, she got a short of agreement bcs of 'her character" that not included “dress codes”. At IG she has shown what she is capable of, but Harry’s reaction was exemplary by didn’t giving her the chance ruining the game of the heroes. I don’t think it will happen again, despite we know what she is capable of. ;)
<November 16th> “God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. If God brings to you it, He will bring you through it.” ;) ❤
<November 21st> Dear wthaistd @ nothing unexpected happened. It was said she will be in London, so was she including merc. Would be interesting to know if she is still in London or on the plane to LA for TG ;)
<November 22nd> Dear anon ❤@ I meant it sarcastically. It’s known by all there’s no relationship. She is an ex affair….however the insults began to increase towards Harry again since she missed the Queen’s family dinner ;)
“In life you will realize there’s a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you and some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it” ;)
<November 25th> Dear anon@ there’s no comparison. 'Strip poker’ for a single adult man is a 'pleasure’ (even with 'RPO-protection’ in front of the closed door on the floor), marrying some stranger as member of the BRF is another matter ;)
<November 28th> Dear anon@ as I said, I trust him completely that there’s no relationship ;)
Dear JD, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but as I previously said we can’t interfere. The RF has its own PR advisers, so there’s a reason why it happens how it happens. Let’s wait and see what comes next. Surely the 'hollywood script’ is not over yet ;)
Dear anon@ nothing happens concerning the RF in case of 'important decisions’ without thorough consideration. Harry is a senior royal, a family member, hence he is supported by them in all decisions since the break up happened in dec 2016. Now he has to sacrifice for unconditional trust he has given this woman. ;)
<November 30th> Dear JD, if she plans to be a member of the RF she must obey their rules and protocols. All, without exception and she will be controlled by them. She doesn’t have a choice. Soon she will get the 'reality check’ ;)
Dear wemariuniverse, you’re welcome ❤ 'Thanks’ goes also to everyone who helps keeping markle’s gaslighting from this blog away. Have a nice day ;)
Dear 'nice troll’ anon@ I visit JD’s blog since dec. 2016, opened first time in my life a 'public’ account on DM to support Harry and started to comment on JD’s blog in April. Felix and JD knew about me since then and I didn’t mind to be called an 'anon’ for long time, bcs I wasn’t here for 'attention’. A dear 'friend ❤’ 'baptized’ me “winky/wink”, now my asks being more noticed. I have over 300 posts and I never made myself important, bcs I’m not. And I never forced anyone to believe me. ;)
<Dec 3rd> Dear JD, PC is a wise man who is doing what a loving father does, tries to bail Harry out of this difficult, complex situation. The RF is fully aware of the current mood. If this case would be so easily to solve, it would be done already. I’m not giving up the hope, that with the right strategy she will end up in the place she belongs.. in Hm’s pleasure ;)
In some way he is a victim in some way he bears the responsibility for his own fault, bcs he didn’t consider his status and had trusted someone after a short period so easily. As I said before fateful encounters never happen out of the blue, they happen if we have forget paying attention to some of the main values in our life ;) ❤
<Dec 6th> G'morning JD. Dear 'questions’ anon@ As I said previously we can’t interfere. The solution of the 'markle’s problem’ depends on the right strategy by the RF. There’s a reason for everything what happens and it’s up to them (not me..) what they uncover to protect their reputation. JD has 'special’ and support and she is trusted. Thank you for your understanding. ;)
Well, after the “prediction”, just wondering what she is going to do when suits “announce” the H+M break up and also the show is over for her. It sounds like the false strategy, isn’t? ;)
<Dec 7th> Dear JD, I don’t think anyone expects her doing the 'right thing’.. She should recall a moment of happiness from her early childhood. She should feel it. Then she should recall a moment from one of her saddest moment in her life. She should feel it. From now the second will be her constant companion… 'If you’re losing your soul and you know it, than you have still got a soul left to lose’. ;)
Dear JD, there’s a reason for everything. Markle’s 'status’ isn’t as same as before the 'engagement’. It seems she is missing it. New status new circumstances.. ;)
<Dec 11th> Dear anon@ I know she doesn’t care about 'love’, that’s why none of her comments including their mutual feelings for each other. Bcs there’s nothing sort of to share. It just proves there’s no relationship.. ;)
Dear JD, we aren’t surprised, are we?.. However she will never be able to bear royal duty, no matter how she tries advertising herself up in 'comments sections’ as 'future Duchess’. She obviously lost the connection to reality.. ;)
G'morning JD. Markle seems to forget that it is the inner bond of mutual love that partners share in a relationship keeps the 'connection’ alive and not empty words. ;)
“what is the difference between 'I like you’ and 'I love you’…. Buddha answered: "When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily. One who understands this, understands life”. ;)❤
<Dec 13th> Dear MAK@ as I said previously we cannot interfere. We all are spectators in this game. The RF has its own PR and I trust HM and PC, no matter how it seems like… ;)
Dear JD, I wouldn’t be worry about Sandringham. It is usually very formal. The members of the RF do know the truth and how she coerced her way into them.. as you know I’m not working for the royal PR. She will get a reality check that her illusions and the reality are worlds apart, if it happens… However I would agree with the Dickie comment, but this is my personal opinion ;)
Dear MAK@ Monday happened her rant.. ;)
Dear JD, as you know any help is highly appreciated. ;) ❤
<Dec 15th> You know JD, whoever is behind the 'wedding date’ has a great sense of humor to lighten this 'most unfortunate’ moment… ;)
Dear JD, no matter what kind of difficulty we may found ourselves in, some opportunity to fight our way out can always be found so let us face the future with courage ;)❤
Dear anon@ if Harry resigns Markle doesn’t get what she longs for. Money and fame…Harry as person doesn’t matter for her, but his status he represents. She would ditch Harry in a second and would sell her 'love-story’ to media for huge amount of money. This is a coerced 'relationship’, not one based on mutual love. ;)
<Dec 18th> Was it really Harry who wrote to you and thanked you on this blog? Did you check IP address? If harry has been here then he would have seen mm’s rants that you posted. : Wink thanked me😀, he would have seen and not happy about the bashing. No more satire. Don’t worry about the IP, it’s done discreetly.
Dear Skippy, you truly have a beautiful colourful blog. I thought it would be appropriate saying thank you for all your support here on your blog. 'No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart’. God bless ❤ ;)
Thank you dear wemariuniverse for your kind words.❤ Sometimes we just need a bit more time and patience to overcome tough times, the challenge is then to silence the mind. The RF is an united front and Harry is supported. We all face up to challenges from time to time in our life, but 'luckily’ those happen privately without being 'accompanied’ by mindful eyes worldwide. Keep the faith ❤ ;)
Dear JD, I’m emotionally not connected with Markle nor her supporters, thus they cannot hurt me, I simply don’t care about them, but thank you for your concern ❤. It’s up to everyone what she/he wants to believe, it’ s okay being doubtful or faithful. Keep up the good work and mold your lovely blog as you like. I have thanked Skippy yesterday for her support on her lovely colourful blog. ;) ❤
G'morning JD, hope you are fine. Dear anons@ why should Harry spend his time on bashing some random blog none ever heard about? He would then have to do that all day long all over the place based on the current mood towards him. Please, just use common sense. ;)
Dear anon ❤@ 'wink’ or ’ lovely’…It’s early morning in Florida ;) yet she had understood the message of the truth. Markle has reached a point in her 'adventure’, where she has to face the state authorities with legal documents, pics, plane tickets, messages, mails.. which she cannot deceive without seriously consequences. She will be captured by her lies. JD + the tumblr team + lot of lovely anons are resistant against her gaslighting, bcs their hearts are pure ;)
Dear anons@ I just wanted to thank everyone who had put a good word for me ❤… 'Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intend of throwing it at someone else, you are the one who gets burned’…. God bless 'team Harry’ ;)❤
“I don’t want expensive gifts, I don’t want to be bought… I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure..” Princess Diana ❤ ;)
Dear JD, the chart you posted doesn’t tell me anything, but it seems none of you know about its existence. Or do you? Harry surely knows about the continuously basing on him on these blogs but he only visited one side.. but it’s up to you what you believe in. ;)
Dear JD, some 'big challenge’- periods in our life presupposes more patience and endurance, we should submit ourselves to the will of God. There’s always a reason for their appearance in our life. 'Fear has to meanings: forget everything and run or face everything and rise’ ;)
<Dec 20th> Dear not just Brits but Team-Harry ;)❤… no one should underestimate HM.. The RF knows what the deal is… She surely was welcomed with british courtesy so would say there’s no reason for any insults about the RF’s members on different social media platforms anymore, is it?… ;)
Dear Harry, the answers to life questions is often in people’s face/eyes…. No storm last forever.. Just be natural in showing your true feelings in her company, like today’s pics in the car.. sending positive thoughts to soften your pain. Keep the faith ❤ ;)
Dear anon@ please reread my previously asks on the blog. As it was said it takes time to handle this matter..The RF knows exactly what it is doing, no matter how it appears. The work is done in the background. ;)
<Dec 21st> Harry has faced the reality in Dec. 2016 and nothing has changed since then… He will keep playing 'his part" in this game as long as it is necessary to solve the difficulty… Until this day markle (as 'financee’ is only pictured with Harry.. RF knows what’s the deal is. ;)
Well… A senior british royal sits with his 'financee’ in the official 'engagement’ pictures outside of the palace on the dirty stairs… That’s telling… ;)
G'morning JD. Let’s start the day with a positive thought… “If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others, then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself”… have a blessed day everyone ;) ❤
<Dec 22nd> Dear JD, “only those who care about you, can hear you when you are quiet”… ;)❤
Dear 'part’ anon@ you seem missing a lot of details in this long-term story. He didn’t know until Dec. 2016 about her colourful past . Nobody did…. It was JD who started the investigations.. all relevations about Markle were the result of JD’s+ Tumblr-team+ helpful anons tireless efforts during the entire year. She betrayed his trust based on the scam she imposed on him, she is now taking advantage of her knowledge. Coercion. She had kind of experience ;)
Dear anon @ we are spectators in this game, but I feel certain the RF is aware what Markle is. The outcome for Harry depends on the Royal PR’s strategy, I think it will work out, but surely Harry will take a bad hit. He needs to be seen on work out on daily basis, than the mood may will change sooner than later towards him. The majority of the Brits will be relieved she is gone ;)
Dear JD, bcs the pics aren’t natural, they obviously don’t have chemistry… It’s like watching a fashion magazine commercial ;)
Dear ckob ❤@ there’s a reason for everything what happens. I think he understands what is expected from him in this game, and he has to do it whether he likes it or not, but when he gets the opportunity, he shows everyone clearly his true feelings about her.- 'car pics’ ;)
Dear JD, 'life is just like a sea, we are moving without end. Nothing stays with us, what remains is just the memories of people who touched us as waves’ … Harry will weather the storm. He has a greatness in him. The key is to take it out, he is surely learning to make better choices. ;)
By the way, I don’t think the RF will release any short of 'dirt’ on Markle, it will be the media…. ;)
G'morning JD. Dear anon@ as I said it before, I feel certain he will play 'his part’ as long as it is necessary, don’t worry… ;)
Dear anons@ it’s still december… May is a long way to go.. Let’s feel the Christmas’s spirit of love and hope. As the late Princess of Wales Diana said: “Family is the most important thing in the world. The only reason for marriage is love” ;) ❤
<Dec 23rd> Dear JD, just listen to your heart, as you did when you started this journey ;) whatever the us tabloids have on her it will come out one day, it’s the responsibility of the royal PR how to deal with it. Hope the RF will include in its prayers all those lovely souls who stood up against her gaslighting and fighted for the truth with tireless efforts during the whole year. Keep the faith ;) ♥
Dear JD, could you please reblog 'PR anons’ timeline about Markle’s PR plan after she and Harry had the first 'date’, to contradict the other theory? She posted it at the time my 'Diana-Charles natural pic’ comment. Thank you ;)
Dear JD, it is just a temporary life-experience, not something that will last forever.. fateful encounters never happen out of blue, there’s a reason for their appearance in our life, and that’s good so, bcs we are here to learn and develop our soul. Don’t worry I’m always in a place of peace ;) Life is just a journey, you cannot recognise good times, when you don’t have bad ones. The good times become great memories the bad ones great lessons.. Have a blessed day everyone ;) ❤
Isn’t just interesting that after she understood her mistake and faced criticism for something she alone bears the responsibility the blame is putting on someone else again … ;)
<Dec 24th> Don’t worry JD, God is just ;) Merry Christmas everyone have a blessed day ❤
Dear JD, I also found “MM pr campaign failed to get her jobs…”. Then “ since then it appears she is using JM…” And “ if you have a real relationship you do not need pr…” Thank you ;)
G'day JD. Well in case of an official engagement Markle’s completely past would become an open book to the public, bcs the Brits are entitled to know about it. Long forgotten moments will come to the light. Rather no Cinderella story.. as part 4 anon stated markle still hides many skeletons in the cupboard and likely prefers to keep them there. The media is powerful and has the financial resources to open “archieves’ regardless of their recent 'status’. Nothing can save her tgen ;)
<Dec 25th> May is still a long way to go, let’s wait and see what happens in the coming months. This case must be handled very carefully… Wishing Harry and the RF all the best ;)
Dear JD, considered not 'legal’ bcs HM’s approval + privy are still missing and the engagement is coerced not based on mutual agreement. ;)
Just wanted to add, I think it’s interesting that none of the 'offical engagement’ pictures of H + Markle was chosen, but the one with her strange posture. Snarky… ;)
Good morning JD and Merry Christmas :) I wanted to say very quickly that HM does not choose the images she has out. They are done by her courtiers, and will be done to reflect what they think is best for the nation to know about them. Interestingly, they’ve put their photo next to PC and C’s. They were - up until PH and MM - the most disliked Royal couple. The Queen will have no say in the images, but rather, she will know that she needs to comment in her own subtle way.
G'morning JD. This 'relationship’ is not supported by the RF, bcs there’s no relationship, but coercion..There’s a reason for everything, it’s about 'fraud of trust’, hence this case must be handled very carefully..Markle doesn’t enjoy any short of 'help’ concerning her 'behaviour’ based on her 'role’, bcs her 'financée status’ is not 'legal’. She is on her own, she knows that well, but doesn’t care, bcs she is blinded by her greed and lust of power. Dear ckob@ thank you and Merry Christmas ❤ ;)
Kate is shining on the pictures alongside William you clearly can spot the sparkle of happiness in her eyes.. God bless her and William for all their support and sacrifice for Harry, despite Markle’s maliciously insults on them on different social media forums throughout the entire year. ;)
<Dec 27th> G'day JD, sending you positive energy ❤. Not sure why Harry has to play radio presenter.. But even if, being diplomatic with short bland answers concerning this relationship is always the best way to avoid misunderstandings and makes us supporter easyer doing our work, even it is well-meaning from his side.. Not sure why Markle still pushes this way. After Sandringham even the european Media started questioning her personality. The public is aware of the falseness of this 'relationship’. ;)
<Dec 28th> G'day JD, sending you positive energy ❤. Not sure why Harry has to play radio presenter.. But even if, being diplomatic with short bland answers concerning this relationship is always the best way to avoid misunderstandings and makes us supporter easyer doing our work, even it is well-meaning from his side.. Not sure why Markle still pushes this way. After Sandringham even the european Media started questioning her personality. The public is aware of the falseness of this 'relationship’. ;)
Dear JD, as I said it’s about 'fraud of trust’.. I’m not part of the RPR, thus I still looking for an explanation why it was a good idea giving a british senior royal a 'job’ as a radio presenter. The majority of the British admires HM bcs of her strength keeping the traditional values alive and being strongly neutral concerning politics. I just wondering also about Markle. A narc who wants to harm herself? That’s new. The RF has the long run. Money &fame is in a different direction to find ;)
Dear JD, Markle is heading in the wrong direction. I don’t think she is missing the worldwide reactions on her appearances with the RF. If she wants to lose all her credibility also by those, who really didn’t care until now.. well let’s do it.. she wants fame, money, rich partner, the RF is the wrong 'contact person’. She didn’t like to curtsey. She noticed 'the look’ very well.. Well that’s the world of rules in the Firm.. Florida is full of wealthy men who are looking for a celebrity wife ;)
Dear JD I think you should put away emotions and think reasonably at what’s going on. If PH is truly an honest person he will eventually win and get back a good name. Till than he has to sacrify his popularity. He has to drawn with her, doesn’t he? Maybe I dont see clearly. But whats obvious is that MM sold her soul and her master is dragging her into insanity more and more. She wont stop. Has she attacked Eugiene and Yorks? They’re easy target. Maybe she should try with sb more likeable? :)
Dear anon@ I’m not a part of the royal PR, hence I don’t have to agree on everything they suggest. I’m here to help in the Markle’s case, and when it’s over I will return to my peacefully old life ;) However I appreciate traditional values and admires the Queen for her strictly point of view concerning them. I think considering the current times we should keep maintaining the strategy that worked very well in the past long years. Harry is a 'charity personality’ and should stick to it. ;)
Dear JD, the 'put away emotions’ comment wasn’t me. ;)❤
Dear wemariuniverse, that’s sweet, thank you ❤. 'Every experience no matter how bad it seems, holds within a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it’ ;)❤
<Dec 29th> G’m JD. Dear anons@ we witness Harry’s suffering every time when they are spotted together. No love, no respect for each other from both side..Yet you say he wants to marry her bcs of 'rebellion’. Where is the reason for this allegedly rebellion? HE is backed up by his family and he clearly appreciates the help. We should hold on for a minute.. This man lost within shortest time everything he lived/worked for: his life essence, his reputation, support of people. His mistake was - giving trust ;)
Dear anon@ I feel certain there’s a plan, HM has shown clearly Harry is a trusted member of the RF, regardless of the circumstances. We were asked many times for more confidence & patience regarding to the difficulty of this case. It’s about 'fraud of trust’… I know there is no relationship, nor is an unfounded rebellion, nor is it his wish being married to a woman who he barely knows. It is an attack on the RF, all her moves just proves her motives. I think Harry will escape at the end.. ;)❤
would like to add: There are still people with knowledge out there and follow these blogs, who still keep pondering what is right and what is wrong.. listen to your heart.. How people treat you is their karma, how you react is yours… 'betrayal doesn’t only break your heart but also darkens your soul. You will never forget the pain like a fog, that forever lingers in the depths of your mind’.. keep the faith Harry, sending you a lot of positive thoughts and keep in mind, life is a journey ;) ❤
Dear JD, regarding to your last comment on me.. I’m not here bcs I’m 'interested in this dilemma’, I came here to help, not the same…, yet I’m not 'the one’ who can/will solve Harry’s problem.. IMO marriage in case of such kind of human beings like Markle and her actings not the solution, hence why should it happen.. I don’t doubt for one second HM’s wisdom and determination in dealing with her. For an ingenious PR there’s no hopeless case.. May is still a long way to go. All the best JD. ;)
<Dec 31st> Happy new year JD, Skippy, Felix, Tumblr-members and everyone else. ❤ Have a faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come shining through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep believing, the dream you wish will come true. ;)
Dear Skippy, the RF is staying united behind Harry and Harry is doing what he was told to do.. If Markle would be a real seriously girlfriend there were plenty opportunities in the past year showing her around. NEVER happened, instead of we got faked pics. 2 day before the 'engagement’ Markle was described by BP as "love life”. The RF is aware of her. She betrayed his trust more than once. Coercion. Not one pic has shown real feelings btw them. He plays his part as long as it is necessary. ;)
Don’t worry dear Skippy, the RF knows what Markle is. There’s time for everything. They are working on a solution to save their reputation. Be sure your work as well as JD’s, Felix’s are appreciated. Listen to some of your anons ;) Happy new year and God bless for all your efforts. ;) ❤
<Jan 1st> G'morning dear JD. Dear anon@ of course the Firm knows what Markle is, therefore Harry is supported by it all the way along. He is doing what he was told to do.. She betrayed his trust more than once, hence this case must be handled very carefully.. I’m sure Harry is terrible sorry for causing all this happening not just for HM, who he deeply respects, but else for his family & all his supporters. If people have understood it’s about the RF not just about Harry, they’ve understood the game. ;)
Dear anon@ Harry has deepest respect for HM, so I don’t doubt for a moment that any short of advice concerning this matter would be rejected by him, he bears a part of the responsibility in this happening after all. PC loves his sons and will support them come rain or shine.. ;)
Dear 'stubborn’ anon@ 'magic happens when you do not give up, even though you want to. The universe always falls in love with a stubborn heart. ;) ❤ Dear 'playing part’ anon@The RF is a worldwide respected 'institution’, can you imagine the damage if someone like Markle with her very colorful past, obviously shown disrespect for HM & Monarchy & for the British nation would be allowed join them? As Diana said:. 'the only reason for marriage is love’ .. well I don’t see any btw H + M ;)
Dear anon@ God is the universe, thus universe is love, bcs God is love. If you follow my comments you will discover we share the same opinion about love & faith & fate ;) I’m not sure what exactly doesn’t fit with my thesis: not one pics with real feelings of love& tenderness, but strange behaviour, missing respect, she was a 'secret’ for 1 year..why? Harry is allegedly so happy in love. He changed since IG. The difference is very obviously. I never forced anyone to believe me. You’re free ;)
Just wanted to add. Being 'stubborn’ in an opinion for a year (.) in a happening where gaslighting happens on daily basis to destroy an another human being, I don’t see it as negative as you do. It just proves, that no matter what happens there are still people out there who are trying keeping the truth alive. His truth. Even sometimes that means being alone and getting bashed all along. One day else those who are still pondering what’s right or wrong may weave for supporting. Time will tell ;)
<Jan 3rd> G'morning JD. Dear JD I find your efforts extraordinary still being present here on daily basis, despite all the pain you’re suffering. Wishing you speed recovery, God bless for your kindness ❤ dear lily @ if I recall correctly, everyone expected an 'engagement’ on a Friday, but nothing happened, KP/CH declined a comment, except BP, who stated, not interested commenting on Harry’s 'love life’. Then suddenly we got an 'engagement’, with an irritated 'Harry, full of lies, strange gestures/1 ;)
Cont - she merched as usually, inappropriate shoes &behaviour for a future 'royal’, the 'last minute’ ring didn’t fit, they were sent away to the garden, and a confused Harry, who rolled his eyes and were ashamed of all the lies she had put on display. She wasn’t planned for IG. Whatever 'role’ Harry plays in this project, it is his project, his labour of love and his name is used to gather sponsors and get worldwide attention for it. Watch his face on the OC, when he noticed her. Pure despair/2
Cont - his family helped him out, his status was changed, and she was given the 'appearance’ she coerced. She betrayed his trust and it’s up to the RF what they uncover to protect their& Harry’s reputation. Harry is British Senior Royal, therefore this case must be handled very carefully. Harry isn’t alone, there’s a team behind him and he will listen to the advice and will obey it, whether he likes or not. The RF is a worldwide respected 'institution’, they know what they’re doing./3
Cont - there’s no relationship, neither Markle nor Harry try to give the impression there’s any short of except a “deal”, that Harry has to accept (.) whether he likes/not, bcs of 'fraud of trust’, to protect that what he has to protect..I personally don’t care about privy and other things, bcs the RF doesn’t handle things on this way. I also don’t care, whether she gets some more appearances, she screwed all her previous up, she is done in the public, it just can be worser for her.Let’s go ;)
Dear wemariuniverse@ the IG happening was just about her appearance in this military sportevent, she coerced. We shouldn’t mix what short of plans Markle had and how much Harry knew about them. She betrayed in the short time they spent together more than once his trust. He and the RF were caught of guard, they didn’t know about until IG, thus everything happened unexpected and against the RF’s rules & protocols.. she has shown at Sandringham she doesn’t care about him, never did. She used him ;)
Dear vintage@ If we take a look at the public opinion about her concerning before & after 'engagement’ it’s obviously the mood towards her changed dramatically, although the majority of the tabloids readers aren’t common with Tumblr. She doesn’t have any future in the UK/CW countries, no matter which 'status’ she 'enjoys’. She screwed up each one of her appearances, bcs she doesn’t understand the 'royal reality’. Such blunders aren’t tolerated by public & Media, they have a long memory ;)
<Jan 4th> G'morning JD. Dear anon@ after their join appearances we could witness, do you get the impression he wants to marry a woman, who he barely knows, who betrayed his trust more than once, neither loves nor respects but uses him and HM/ RF for money making to make her own screwed up life 'valuable’? He broke up with her in Dec. 2016 and nothing has changed his opinion about her since then. Harry has deepest respect for HM and her dedication to her destiny, but stimes it’s our fate that strikes ;)
Dear ckob@ we cannot force things to happen if the right time has not arrived yet..If we allow being captured in a negatively spiral we would become like her and her supporters. Angry, nervous, insecure, but we are different. We have faith.. We were asked to have more confidence and patience. Harry is the one, who suffers from humiliation and misery in the public eye on daily basis. Do you think he 'enjoys’ it? He suffers terribly. The firm shouldn’t be underestimated ;)
<Jan 6th> G'morning dear JD. Could you please reblog “smoke and mirrors” from 28th Dec. from Skippy’s blog? Thank you. ❤ And dear anons@ I think it’s nice to have lily as 'hearsay’ among us, who knows details concerning a part of this story we don’t ;)
<Jan 7th> G'morning JD. Again the old same warmed up rumors to support Harry’s bashing.. How many times we had the 'gay’, 'abusive’, 'complicit’, 'rebel’, and so on attributes for him? He spent 11 years (.)of his 'adult’ life in long-term relationship(s) without being called out on this way.. Chelsy, Cress and the american girl loved him without putting their shared intimate moments out to the public. He was seemingly happy and had sparkle bcs he was in love. This woman was a short affair, nothing more ;)
Dear anon 'whose ask doesn’t appear on JD’s@ I didn’t say Markle has smth 'bad about H’, but I said it was planned by her before she started her campaign to conquer him. She knew his weakness and used her scam betraying his trust. Whatever she uses to coerce her way into the spotlight, she snatched it by using a scam, hence it’s 'fraud of trust’ and it’s up to the RF to handle this matter, whatever it decides. However her final downfall will be to have underestimated the Firm. ;)
Dear JD, the right decision…even I have a very good understanding of what you’re talking about…;)
Dear lattedah@ the RF didn’t know Markle betrayed Harry’s trust. She kept it till IG hidden from them, like she did with the VF interview in may that was published in sept shortly before IG. Markle was given a fair agreement after she was kicked out of KP in Dec. 2016, therefore everyone had assumed, she will go away as it was appointed. What happened at IG was a shock. She acted then step by step to coercing her way into the RF, now she will learn who is in control.. ;)
<Jan 8th> Dear lattedah@ she got the agreement although KP happening bcs she was an 'ex’ who had access to Harry as British Royal to gather respectability. She got the Jam. invitation before the break up and she wasn’t expected using it. She crashed the wedding hence they were placed far away in order to avoid her interaction with others. She wasn’t expected for Polo either. Dec.2016 split - until sept. they only saw each other in these occasions, hence we got the faked airport pics in august. /1 ;)
Cont - the RF didn’t care about her after the agreement, she was an 'ex’, hence 'out of sight’, all the GC denials during the whole year just prove that she wasn’t acknowledged as someone who is in connection with them. She was underestimated (back then), until JD + Tumblr-team sent them the'file-markle’, but even those who have revealed her true self were caught off guard at IG and are still in shock how treacherous she acted in dealing with Harry. /2
By the way concerning the latest blind/the RF members aren’t allowed holding political offices, but surely all her prev. influential clients follow carefully this happening, bcs she is know who she is in these circles… I think some of them already asked secretly - “will I also be mentioned if her past will hit the headlines in the future?”..well Markle will discover by each day that at the end the RF decides about her future, no rants & lies & rumors will help her to change this fact. ;)
Dear anon@ neither Harry nor the RF are agreeable with all this, but Harry has to agree (.) at the moment regardless of the humiliation and suffering he experiences in the public eye on daily basis.. She was given an agreement that she agreed, but didn’t stick to it. Her 'acceptance’ into the RF will never happen. We all make mistakes, nobody is perfect. Harry is supported by his family and always will be. The RF will not give her what she longs for. Fame & money are to be fetched elsewhere.. ;)
<Jan 9th> Just wanted to add 'dear anon’@ this case is difficult, I appreciate 'trust’ and loyalty, thus I’m fully aware of my limits, therefore whatever happens it’s up to the RF to handle this matter and uncover as much as it finds appropriate to protect its reputation. Markle reads this blogs on daily basis, hence everything is being said concerning the 'plan’ should be considered carefully. So I’m not going to say anything that would harm Harry’s good 'outcome’ of this farce.. ;)
<Jan 10th> Dear JD, just remember 'smoke and mirrors’..;)
<Jan 11th> Voodoo doesn’t have power if you refuse to believe it. If your faith is strong enough no human being can harm you. God is the Almighty. Dear anon@the late Princess of Wales loved her 'job’ and understood her destiny Harry has deepest respect for her, no way he would be keen soiling her memories with s.one like Markle who is missing main values of humanity. Diana was a pure soul, had charisma, warmth, understanding for people’s needs regardless of race, gender, disease. The Queen of the hearts❤;)
Dear anon@ humans have their ups and downs..If you have a good soul and you got far away from the right path, you will get a challenge, calls life-experience. Everyone decides for themselves how is going to deal with it. As single adult man Harry is free to look for pleasures where he thinks it’s okay for him. In relationships he was always faithful.(11 yrs). Based on his respect for his late mother he never would choose s.one he is ashamed as his beloved wife and future royal from free will ;)
<Jan 12th> G'morning JD. Dear 'merching’ anon@ Harry is an adult man with his own taste in clothes. I’m neither his mother not his PR adviser to think about what he is wearing. I personally think it doesn’t matter, after all he doesn’t have the 'Kate effect’, and I didn’t see anyone who cares about. However may someone of the PR is listening and will tell him your concern. Thank you for your understanding. ;)
Dear JD, not sure you got my previously ask about privy.. however summed up: I personally don’t care about whether this case is being discussed or delayed or whatsoever…May is still a long way to go ;)
Well whatever the tabloids have on her one day it will come out for money-making reasons… I think she does know that well, but she wants to take the RF with her.. therefore I’m still saying it’s an attack on them.. ;)
Dear JD, did you get my answer? I think there were 4 or five… The good morning, privy long ( you didn’t receive) privy summary, 'well’ and 'sugarpoints’ based on Skippy’s blog. I’m on holiday so perhaps that’s the reason why my asks disappear on the way to you ;)
4th try/dear JD, I think you misunderstood my comment. I just commented on the 'sugar comment about overwhelmed Markle’.. I meant by my comment, that if the 'relationship’ would be serious, Harry would have waited to propose, bcs being a member of the RF/representing the nation requires careful preparation like Kate had, which takes years and Harry understands the responsibility. Markle’s 'overwhelming’ behaviour comes from her insecurity, bcs she tries display everytime a 'new personality’.. ;)
That’s okay JD ❤ surely some people don’t like the truth and trying to discredit us. I’m always answering when I’m 'around’. Interesting NE article… So there is a stuff about Markle out there which is 'valuable’ after an 'amount’ was marked… Whatever happens it won’t be an 'all’s well that ends well’s… Hoping for the best outcome for the RF ;)
Don’t worry dear JD, …'just continue doing what you’re doing’… Harry is his mother’s son, he appreciates the loyal support through thick and thin. I feel certain the memories of his beloved mother will be maintained how she deserves it and the late Princess of Wales will not be polluted by constant companions in the tabloids for years with s.one who imitates her to gather attention for herself and despises HM and the RF. I expect a bad hit, but feel certain he will come out stronger. ;)
There is zero chance Meghan did not plant that blind tiara bit. God, she’s so pathetic. The feminist she claims to be would give a fu@k about tiaras. She is anything butt. ;)
Dear JD, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but the 'tiara’ comment wasn’t me. She is 'Markle’ for me.. ;)
Trevor’s TV project: “It is the untitled project’s premise that will get attention on both sides of the Atlantic: Divorce is hard. Sharing custody is harder. Sharing custody with the British Royal family when your wife marries a prince, in the unforgiving spotlight of London’s tabloid media, is next level.” It’s not based on true events, well.. not the kid part, anyway ;)
I don’t visit other blogs except where the truth to be found.. on yours, Skippy’s and Felix’s… therefore I don’t care who entertains herself by imitating me somewhere else, but on this blogs I will surely comment, as I did it previously.. ;)
<Jan 13th> G'morning JD. I don’t think Markle will go near to the Spencer tiara ever.. She does everything on purpose, hence I believe the true reason behind her imitation the late Princess of Wales serves more the intention to hurt Harry, than an 'obsession with the person Diana’, that explains her constantly transformation in different personalities in different occasions. She will never be successful, bcs 'the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched, they’re felt with the heart’ ;)
Dear Skippy, I think her main problem is, she doesn’t want to understand, that nobody counts her PR articles she puts out nor is counted the number of acts she appears with Harry, the public just remember the impression she makes and she screwed up each one of her appearances. Lying is her habit and the public didn’t fall for her 'coverage’, the more 'inside’ stories show up the more she will be rejected. Mistake to believe the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration.. ;)
Dear 'determined’ anon@ no, you’re wrong… there’s a limit, and that ends at the legacy and memories of the late Princess of Wales… Diana respected the Queen, the Monarchy and adored her sons.. She was a fighter and had courage facing painfully downs in her life. There’s still a strong 'bond’ of ❤ btw her and her sons that Markle never will understand. As much as it hurts Harry has to face the storm one day. Pains happen to everyone. We all have flaws, imperfection is part of being human. ;)
Dear anon @ I never changed my 'version’ of this happening… This case is difficult. Harry is a British Royal and not some Hwood VIP or politician… You are free to believe what you want to believe. Everyone is entitled to her/his opinion, and that should be so.. ;)
<Jan 14th> G'morning JD. Yesterday I thought about why such asks like 'determined’s are coming. Should that mean Markle intends to break her current 'agreement’? ( As she did it with her previously..)The 'storm’ is the revelation of her very colorful past the tabloids have on her and not something that concerning 'private matters’ of Harry’s trust while she used a scam to betray him. It seems she still threatens him through social media revealing those although she has an agreement? … Hmmm ;)
Dear anon@ there are different PRs in work we shouldn’t mix them. No PR had said, Harry is making demands based of his 'arrogance’. NYC just stated her personal opinion, and she didn’t have knowledge about the IG happening.. Those who know exactly what is going on don’t talk badly about Harry on the blogs, they just drop hints. But as cheers anon said, not even those who may had a plan could suspect the 'changes’, bcs not everything is being shared with everyone. This is a difficult case… ;)
<Jan 16th> G'day dear JD, hope you are fine. Well I think 'giving’ her a staff means she had to admit to herself she lost control and cannot be 'herself’, but had to obey the rules and protocols concerning her behaviour when she is on 'officially duty as future royal member’ with Harry. She also doesn’t have say on the schedule and has to accept however it turns out.. Meanwhile she had understood who is in control and based on the latest 'fight’ - articles’ her PR pulled out, she doesn’t like it.. ;)
<Jan 17th> G'morning Skippy. Dear anon@ I used for 'future royal member’ a quote mark… I think Harry is underestimated. He has inner strength, deeply respect for HM and his late mother memories and he is loyal to the monarchy.. Can you imagine how it hurt him to say, Diana would have given her approval? Diana always said, the only reason for marriage is love…but there’s no love.. I don’t think the outcome depends on Markle, but the case is difficult. There are more 'players’ in this game.. ;)
G'morning JD, wishing you speed recovery.♡ dear anon@ I agree with you on giving Harry bit more time and having patience. I never would give up on him no matter how this case -may filled with relevations - turns out.. He is a lovely soul. Some of us need more time find their goal, others less. As it says your last mistake is your best teacher… ;)
<Jan 18th> G'morning JD would like to make a note to the CDNA rant. Regardless of the privy’s or whoever else’s decisions (whom I personally don’t give the significance than others may do) there’ s no such as 'stage of no return’ in this case… Markle will never have the respect and public support she longs for, bcs based on her not existent own personality & empathy & charisma she is not able giving the people a reason to like her, she just gives the reason them to watch her (how that then turns out) ;)
Dear JD, we are as strong as our will and a will finds a way… Harry served for his country, saw people die and suffering terrible injuries. The extraordinary sportsmen/women at the IG teached us all, that everything is possible when we deeply believe in our goals, regardless of the though circumstances. Harry has inner strength. Everyone we meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something. When we help one other everyone wins.. ;)
Dear JD, don’t worry. There’s time for everything. If you remember Harry said previously, he was wondering back then how people across the world could love/support his mother without knowing her in person. It was not just her charisma, empathy, naturality in dealing with ppl regardless of race, gender, disease made ppl love her, but also her strength and courage in dealing with painfully challenges in her life. Harry is his mother’s son, he will weather this period in his life. He is strong ;)
<Jan 19th> Dear ckob@ after all months they (still) only captured together on public appearances, so why do you assume he is rooting for her? Bcs he did his job on duty professional? How he really feels? Let me explain briefly: If someone pushes a knife for example in your mother’s back while intructs you 'I want you to smile!’ otherwise you will have hard consequences, what would you do? Would you go away without consideration?… He is coerced and he just 'fulfills’ his part of the agreement.. ;)
G'morning JD. Not sure about your comment on me about the 'assistant.’ If you have time please re-read my last comments carefully, but just in case if you’re still interested in my opinion. Thank you. One day people will understand it’s a difficult case bcs of his status and rushing with things doesn’t bring them nowhere.. ;)
Dear JD, she can have an 'assistant’ to let her believe she is 'supported’, but on the same time to ensure they have as little as possible interaction with each other… I don’t see any short of contradiction… and I also didn’t notice 'romantic’, 'love’ nor 'lust’ in their yesterday’s appearance. They went out, did their appearance as 'engaged couple’ concerning their current 'status’, then returned to the place apart from each other where each of them belongs to.. all the best JD ;)
Dear ckob@ I understand your concern. Harry is on the horns of a dilemma and surely it’s not an easy ride, but perhaps he can take also the difficulty of our work (afterwards) in consideration during his further appearances. (If any).. Thank you for your understanding. ;)
Dear JD, would like to make a note regarding to the claims 'he can end it every time he will’. NO he cannot… logically he would already have done that, wouldn’t he?…People agree there’s no relationship, no love, no lust but obviously an agreement btw two parties, yet Harry wants to keep this farce going on by punishing himself for a year from free will in public eye, damages the reputation of his family without any seriously reason? He is still trusted by HM and supported for a reason.. ;)
<Jan 20th> G'morning JD. Dear 'merch’ anon@ I aready answered your question, that I personally don’t care what Harry is wearing and I don’ t know anyone who cares except few people on tumblr. Harry was papped at Zara buying underwear/clotes and I never heard people have stormed the store afterwards to do the same, although anyone could be able afford the prices.. merching with a 'vip’ happens on purpose to increase the profit, but in Harry’s case truly nobody cares about the brand of his clothes… ;)
Dear JD. Why I shouln’t be okay? It’s saturday, so I may a bit later on. Sent you already an ask.. thank you ;)♡
<Jan 21st> G'morning dear JD. Just keep calm and carry on and believe that everything in our life happens for a reason. It’s Harry’s challenge and he himself must walk the path. As for markle. She has underestimated the consequences of the coerced 'engagement’. She lost totally control about her image and has to live with constant criticism, she surely cannot bear. She has underestimated the huge responsibility& work& expectations the 'royal status’ presume. Not a lottery win at all..;)
Dear JD, the RF does know exactly whom it is dealing with, hence we were asked for patience and confidence.. ;)
Dear JD, any short of the Tumblr-team’s advice that helps to solve this case is taken seriously, but it should be also considered that rushing things which presume a certain amount of time to be solved, won’t achieve the same result with impatience. This emotionally case must be handled cool headed, regardless of the circumstandes. Don’t worry… Thank you ;) ♥
<Jan 22nd> Lovely news today dear JD. Congratulation and best wishes to Eugenie ♡ Jack + delighted parents. Have a blessed day everyone ;) ♥
<Jan 23rd> G'morning JD. Dear anon@ this is not my blog but JD’s hence I don’t have to comment on every comment JD shares with her readers. I comment when I was asked or would like to express my opinion. Time to time I’m also on skippy’s blog. We are living in different time zones, thus I’m not here 24 hours. I usually comment on Harry’s part rarely in markle’s bcs I don’t care about her. Today is 23th january and the allegedly 'wedding’ should happen in the 19th may. Long way to go.. ;)
I sent this ask also to skippy bcs I thought you didn’t get it. Would like to add to dear anons, that I don’t know lily’s whereabouts nor what markle suppose to do. I already expressed my opinion about privy & the 'wedding’. We are still in January. Thank you for your understanding. ;)
<Jan 24th> G'morning JD. I don’t see Harry as 'puppet’ rather someone who is coerced on a brutally way disrespect his family’s traditions and his beloved Granny the british Queen who served the Crown for over 65 years with all her heart. How it feels? Well after 1 year apprenticeship Harry surely understood his lesson. How it feels being coerced by a woman (after split) who still tries using his beloved mother’s memories to hurt & to use & to punish him for money making reasons?.. keep the faith Harry ;) ♥
Dear JD, when the right time has arrived Harry will leave this case behind him..He is correct and sticks to the 'agreement’, to protect what he has to protect..Just because we don’t see 'actions’ it doesn’t mean nothing happens behind the scenes..The Firm shouldn’ t be underestimated.. ;)
Dear JD, she doesn’t have own personality, inside she is insecure, hence she tries having the 'overhand’ about people she is connected with. She imitates the late princess bcs she wants to hurt him. She recalls 'roast chicken’ by any opportunity to hurt her ex partner Cory. I don’t think they talk to each other privately much except during their public appearances.However when she recall her imaginated pic of her 'dream’ and 'reality’, would she mind there’re any similarities?rather nothing ;)
Dear JD, if the right person feels addressed by your question she/he will answer..however if markle would have the influence on him some claim, why we only got since the official 'engagement’ 3 (.) rushed public appearances of them as 'couple’ until now. Is she still a 'secret’?…;)
Dear JD, well she surely has her reasons sticking to these for her unfavorable course. Despite all her PR moves & gaslighting she still not going to happen. The reality she experiences on daily basis doesn’t match with her 'dreams’ yet she still clings to it. She is still a 'secret’ and no one wants her.. doesn’t make sense for someone like her who loves controlling her way.. well she has to admit herself she lost it and never again will get back as long as she continues this game ;)
Dear JD, if I’m correct Harry’s appearance was annonced by KP. I didn’t read anything else ;)
Dear JD, it’s your blog, you’re free to shape it how you like. I’m just a visitor here. A lot of people came and went away..I’m still around regardless of the circumstances ;) ♡
<Jan 25th> Wishing you speed recovery JD. God bless for all your effort. It was you who started 'our’ 'journey’. ;) ♡
Dear anons@ 'status’ changes always have a reason.. I would mean if he is on officially duty he is 'on’, if he attends/ or continues as private person he is out.. IG has given us 'insight’ how fast it can happen… Wishing Harry a peacefully time in the beautiful African nature ;) ❤
Dear soooo anon@ what I said was -> there’s always a reason for a status change.. KP declined to further comment, so this is my opinion… If he finished his official duty he is a private person who is free to make his own decisions as long as he pays the bill, and after he was removed from CC, he can do what he likes as private person. If he would be so keen to see her, he would have returned.. just wondering when she has time to apply for visa when she travels across the world.. ;)
<Jan 26th> Good morning Skippy. I don’t think we have the same situation as IG. They have now an 'agreement’, she has to stick it. I also don’t think there’s a 'dramatically’ reason behind the current status change, but it’s up to them how much is revealed of it. Thank you ;)
G'morning JD. Hope you are doing well. Take care and wishing you speed recovery. Sending you a lot of positive energy. Have a wonderful day everyone. ;) ❤
Dear JD, if you have time please re-read my previously comments.. I’m not the right person to answer your question at this time. Thank you for your understanding.. ;)
Dear anon@ I would say she has to stick to the current 'agreement’, based on the different 'regulations’.. However I personally don’t see any reason for her keeping this farce going on, she cannot fulfill people’s expectations, had made too much blunders in this short time, she will be remembered as the 'one’ with the most inappropriate behaviour/mistakes not as the 'right one’. Being a 'local star’ or dealing with worldwide attention on daily basis is not the same. She may had understood.. ;)
<Jan 27th> Dear JD, I think we have currently different circumstances than before.. The RF doesn’t do things on this way.. Rumours belong to this happening as long as she is in the picture… and no, they aren’t married… ;)
Dear anon@ I’m not part of the 'agreement’ hence I’m not entitled annoncing certain details of it..There’s time for everything.. We were asked for patience and confidence. I have both.. ;)
Dear JD@ she relies on rumours keeping herself in this happening, bcs nobody truly cares. With each of her upcoming appearances she just gives the tabloids more opportunity for criticism and they will surely use anything for their clickbaits. The coerced 'engagement’ was her main mistake… ;)
Dear anon@ we were asked for patience and confidence.. If you have doubts I would recommend you reading carefully “smoke and mirrors” on Skippy’s archive that was submitted by a lovely anon ;) ❤
Dear Skippy, we should stay calm and focussing on the main point. What short of real preparations were made in case of an upcoming 'royal’ wedding except 'blinds/ rumours/’ claims? Do you see something?.. ;)
Good morning Skippy. Just wondering about some asks. What is exactly by a 'poorly agreement’ meant he should leave? Do some people never had legally contract with strict regulations? It sounds as if he enjoys punishing himself and his family? The agreement (also incl. appearances) will be over at the time as it was agreed regardless of the upcoming rumours or whatsoever. Thank you ;)
<Jan 28th> Dear WO@ a coerced human doesn’t have that much choice..Harry would never disrespect HM and the memories of his late mother regardless whatever view people have about him..I feel certain the circumstances which force him bringing both highly respected women in this happening make him very sad. But where darkness is there’s also light.. The sincere support of his family ( who knows the truth regardless of all the gaslighting) gives him inner strength to master this challenge..;)
Dear anon@ I don’t need a script to express my own opinion. Everyone is entitled to her/his opinion. I commented on JD’s blog for long months as no name anon, until I was baptized by someone else. You are free to believe what you want to believe.. this case is difficult and so is the solution.. you can listen or ignore.. we all are free ..;)
G'morning dear JD, hope you’re well. We know from experience what that means when she has to fake certain things, don’t we… have a blessed day ;) ❤
Dear anon@ he was coerced to conclude an 'agreement’ with a woman who he barely knows to protect what he has to protect… She used a well planned romantic scam back in the early period in their affair 2016 to obtain his trust.. you’ll find all the relevant informations about it on JD’s blog. She cannot have a scam on him now after they lead different lives in different places regardless of the gaslighting on her part..The coerced 'engagement’ was a mistake.. look before you leap.. ;)
Dear vintage @ life is just a journey. ’ If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends. If broken by inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside.’ ;) ♥
<Jan 29th> Dear 'leak’ anon@He broke up with her in Dec. 2016 and she was given the opportunity gathering credibility, but instead of we got endless rumours and faked pics during the whole year those were denied by using GC. We talked about with JD last year and I think she was underestimated. They thought she will go away as it was agreed. They were caught off guard at IG. It’s up to them how they react to her 'hidden leak-activities’. It’s known by all she is the string-puller, but she acts ill-advised;)
Good morning Skippy. Dear anon@ you misunderstood me. The coerced 'engagement’ was HER mistake, bcs the exposure of her colourful past will get much bigger coverage based on her 'new status’. Dear 'let her do’ anon@ the regulations are stated in an 'agreement’ that both parties has to obey. Breaching the contractual arrangements would have consequences. Dear anon@ I’m here to help and not breaking the trust that was given me.. hence I’m not entitled answering some questions. Thank you ;)
G'morning JD. I’m sorry lattedah I overlooked that the 'mistake’ ask was you and answered to 'anon’ on Skippy’s blog in the morning. You misunderstood me. It was markle’s mistake bcs the exposure of her colourful past will get much bigger coverage based on her new 'status’. ;) ❤
Dear Skippy I feel certain that the 'Tumblr-team’ blogs are very much appreciated and supported by certain 'circles’.. JD’s 'instinct’ started this journey and she was right all along concerning Markle’s true self ;) ❤
<Jan 30th> Dear anon@ it’s may the calm before the storm. I don’t know when and how the media will start its 'show’, but one day it will.. she will be exposed and will suffer the same fate to be used for profit relentless as she did it with the RF and Harry in the past year. She could have gone away before the storm hits her, but she had decided sticking to her game.. That’s her fate and she alone is responsible for whatever happens to her.. Harry can weather the storm with the right PR strategy. ;)
<Jan 31st> Good morning Skippy. After he discovered her true self he broke up with her and hadn’t made the impression for over 10 months he would care about her, despite the rushed statement she 'remained’ a 'secret’ until she coerced him 'noticing’ her again in a military sporting event. The current situation is a bit difficult, but where is a will there is a way.. I would mean the right PR strategy can aid and abet Harry’s good outcome of this farce and it has already been planned.. ;)
Dear JD, good morning ❤. It depends on Harry’s consideration regarding on the different 'aspects’ during/after their join appearance, as I had noted in my previously answer to ckob after their last appearance … ;)
Dear Skippy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Those we love don’t go away, they are always connected with us through shared touching memories in our hearts… I have recommended you earlier MD. Eben Alexander’s extraordinary book - proof of heaven - and will do it again. Also avaiable as free PDF on net. Wishing you finding the inner peace after a painfully suffering. ;) ❤
Dear anon@ I think the current 'Marklegate’ has given Harry painfully insight how he should deal with this 'company’ in the future, hasn’t ? ;)
Dear Skippy, could you please repost the ask from your archive/ 20th January “MM PR is being paid by the SOHO folks, that’s why she has the best….” Submitted by a lovely anon. Thank you ❤ ;)
<Feburary 1st> Second try/G'morning JD. Dear doubtful anons@ you are free to believe what you want to believe in… Not sure when I 'changed my tune’ and what means 'she said they doing fake engagement rumors’. I didn’t know an 'engagement’ will happen. Nobody did. We all were caught off guard..I said: the rushed 'engagement’ was coerced, we cannot claim he bought the ring, it was scripted by her and full of lies, there’s no relationship but an 'agreement’ he is forced to comply for a certain amount of time ;
Dear anon@ I said she was underestimated, bcs she was given an NDA last year that she agreed but didn’t stick to it. They were caught off guard at IG. She coerced the 'engagement’. There’s an 'agreement’ with contractual arrangements for a certain amount of time. We were asked for confidence & patience based on her gaslighting. I’m not part of the RPR. The media is still playing the waiting game. I would say she may got 1-2 more appearances but nothing is predictable at these days. Let’s wait ;)
Dear WO@ he deserves being there…He served for his country. He is loved and appreciated by all his comrades..He is the 'face’ of the IG that brought the worldwide focus to this extraordinary heroes…He is the last one who wishes her presence there.. we shouldn’t prejudging situations we don’t have exactly knowledge about..I’m sure it takes him an immense inner strength to endure her at this event. Thank you for your understanding.. ;)
Dear Skippy, I’m not part of the PR. It was known for a while she will appear, so we have to accept it. I don’t see any reason for ranting and getting nervous shortly before the beginning. I feel certain Harry will ensure the veterans will get the appreciation they deserve, he is a comrade after all. We know she enjoys it hurting people around her. Veterans and IG are Harry’s labour of love. I’m sure Harry’s heart is shedding in tears…. ;)
<February 2nd> G'morning JD. Hope you’re well. I don’t see how Harry would try 'selling’ her with max. 2 appearances per month.. She also doesn’t seem interested in such kind of events, bcs the focus lies on the projects and not exclusively on her. Sending Harry positive thoughts, keep the faith.. ;)❤
Good morning Skippy. Dear 'events’ anon@ As I said in one of my comments yesterday, I would say she may got 1-2 more appearances, but based on the circumstances nothing is predictable in these days.. so let’s wait and see. Thank you for your understanding. ;)
Read the blog. You say that like reading comprehension is strong point of trolls. ;)
Dear JD, the 'read the blog’ ask wasn’t me…We know what happens when someone is 'angry’.. ;)
Dear JD, thank you for the interesting information. I feel certain it was noted.. ;) ❤
Thank you dear Skippy. ❤ Well probably she is afraid of something so she wanted to 'clarify’ she is still in the 'picture’… ;)
Dear anon@ just wanted to clarify, I didn’t say she is not going to have more appearances… Not sure Skippy you got my first ask ;)
<February 3rd> Dear Skippy, I understand your concern. Security is an important matter at these unsecure times, by announcing their upcoming appearance 'inofficially’ through an outsider she just has proven again, that she is 'not in’… the announcement of official appearances/events of RF members (in this case Harry) belongs to the area of authority of one of the associated palaces. I think Harry’s team understands the 'provocation’…;)
Dear anon@ Harry broke up with her in Dec. 2016, hence all the following join appearances can be considered as 'coerced interaction’ between them.. Dear Skippy, I’m not part of the RPR.. would stick to 'she got more appearances’, but as we know nothing is predictable in these days.. thank you for your understanding. ;)
<February 4th> G'morning JD, I would say sometimes small details make a big difference… At this stage she 'allegedly’ is, she would have obeyed the protocol and would have waited until KP annonces their upcoming appearance officially regarding to Harry’s current (and her 'future’) status.. Harry is a British Royal hence security issues have high priority… however the latest pictures of them speak volumes.. Rumours belong to this happening as long as she is in the 'picture’…;)
Dear JD, I don’t think the York family cares about Markle, she cannot take the focus away from E+J wedding, her fervor burning all bridges in the UK and in certain circles worldwide is astonishing and doesn’t match with her future plans… Aristocracy has its own rules Markle will never understand.. Her ongoing actions just don’t fit in her 'future royal’ narrative, otherwise she would have understood meanwhile that the British protocol is insurmountable - without exception…;)
Dear JD, I personally don’t believe she has a future anywhere except may as 'trophy wife’ which can be 'prancing’ around. She had exaggerated this game… In certain circles - incl. business- relevant people are connected with each other and her name has been noticed in an unfavourable way. She and her supporter lost their credibility.. Time will tell.. Human’s memory shouldn’t be underestimated.. ;)
<February 5th> Dear vintage, thank you for your kind words, but the Thank goes also to you all for being here and helping in this difficult case.❤ “Beginn each day with optimism and end each day with forgiveness. Happiness in life begins and ends within your heart”..;) ❤
Dear anon@ He was never 'proud of her’, rather the other way around…. She was a secret until she called the paps in autumn 2016.. although there���s an 'engagement’ in place, they’re only seen together on rare public appearances.. Making mistakes belongs to our life. Sometimes we realise and correct our mistakes immediately, big challenges usually need more time to overcome the difficulties… Every new beginning comes from other beginning’s end.. You know the truth by the way it feels.. ;)
Dear JD, Markle should have of opted out long time ago seeing the negativity it’s caused her reputation.. In the age of social media she should have known better. By using Harry she wanted to get a platform from which she can make a fortune, but even her current 'status’ doesn’t help her boosting her 'career’. She lost her credibility completely. Being the wife of a senior BR member requires the willingness of sacrifice. She would never be able to bear the responsibility the 'job’ brings.. ;)
<February 6th> Dear Skippy, as it was said she got more appearances…. I didn’t say it was postponed or deleted bcs of her behaviour by announcing it herself with help of a stranger. There’s an agreement in place with contractual arrangements for a certain amount of time. Nothing had changed. I said if her 'current status’ would be 'real’, she would have followed the Royal protocol.. but she didn’t.. ;)
Dear anon@ not the council decides about whether the wedding takes place or not…. The last word has Harry…;)
Dear 'a lot of questions’ anon@ could you please search on JD’s archive 'wink’?… You will find all the answers you are looking for. Thank you. ;)
Dear vintage, thank you for your kind words, but the Thank goes also to you all for being here and helping in this difficult case.❤ “Beginn each day with optimism and end each day with forgiveness. Happiness in life begins and ends within your heart”..;) ❤
Dear JD, sending you positive thoughts. Take care and wishing you speed recovery. Virtual hug ;) ❤
Dear Skippy, I feel certain Harry appreciates all the support and trust he is given by people across the world. Some things cannot be changed over night, there are rules that must to be followed.. obviously Markle doesn’t like this appearances, bcs she doesn’t want to care about 'common’ people’s concerns, talking about 'problems’, she cannot fulfill people’s expectations and she knows that. She is in hiding again, than she has to follow rules and protocols during the appearance…;)
Dear Skippy, don’t worry… I do know a person who wishes the end of this farce more than anyone else… This case is difficult, hence there’s time for everything… you know.. we were asked for confidence and patience.. ;)❤
Dear JD, well I personally don’t see any reason being nervous… We knew she got some more appearances and will appear. KP ignored her 'leak’ and just followed the 'royal way’ regarding to Harry’s status …She longed for a luxuriously lifestyle by his side, now she gets a 'reality check’s what that means being a 'part’ of the RF..work, protocols, rules, never explain never complain’ and always smiling… dear anon@ don’t worry.. WE are a strong team together.. we have faith.. ;)❤
Dear 'council’ anon@ I already answered this question. ;)
Thank you dear JD. Seemingly Markle starts to understand the tough reality. Harry is senior Royal, according to his order of rank he will take over more charities/appearances in the upcoming period. That means sometimes he will be on duty on daily basis. His partner has to understand the case they attend, follow protocol and showing interest not just by pulling 'sadly’ faces. A lot of work is done in the background and it’s not a 'hide and seek’ game. The affected people deserve respect.. ;)
G'morning JD. Just would like to ask you, was the “please don’t jump ship” addressed to me? I personally don’t see any reason for giving up what I’m doing.. I believe in Harry, no IG, no 'engagement’, no unexpected appearances could change that… Harry is underestimated. He is loyal and despite all the circumstances he has great inner strength. I’m here to help and will stay until this case is over.. don’t worry..have a blessed day ;)❤
Dear JD, KP just announced Harry’s upcoming solo appearances. Keep going Harry ;)❤
Dear Skippy, I just answered to anon’s comment. He hasn’t chosen her from free will… She coerced herself on him. I would say, that’s not the same… Plus she isn’t a team-player. She doesn’t care about others, it’s all about herself. The BRF serves the nation, visits charities, handles with affected people’s problems & issues & concerns’ on daily b. Rules, protocols are a main part of them, I think meanwhile Markle had understood. She never could bear the responsibility the 'job’ requires. ;)
Second try/ Dear vintage@ .. you know.. everyone is entitled to her opinion.. also CT. Have a blessed day ;)❤
I’m sorry dear JD, I thought Tumblr lost it again. Wishing you speed recovery. Keep strong. Sending you positive energy and virtual hug. ❤ ;)
-On Skippy Dear ckob@ why should Harry be sidelined so suddenly? Which obscurity do you mean? He officially will take over some of HM’s or PP’s charities in the near future. I don’t see any changes, where do you see it? I think his family has shown clearly, HE is supported… ;)
Dear ckob@ I’ve understood your ask. I just pointed out that Harry is senior Royal who just has taken over more patronages and became representative of some of HM’s and PP charities despite this 'engagement’… He is still trusted. In case of doubts concerning Harry’s future role he would have been blindsided and the charities patronage would have been given to other members. Royal patronages are taken seriously, hence there’s a reason why Harry is planned as future representative. ;)
-On Skippy Dear anons@ Harry didn’t get patronages bcs no one else wanted to take them over. He got more representative 'jobs’ bcs he is trusted and will have (.) a relevante role in the monarchy’s future. Difference.. He hasn’t chosen the 'wrong playmate’ , bcs she isn’t any of short. She only attended 3 'events’, all of them were linked to Harry’s patronages only. I don’t see any relevante preparations except rumours 'could be, would be’.. Harry is loyal to the Crown and to his late mother’s memories ;)
Dear Skippy, I just answered to anon’s comment. He hasn’t chosen her from free will… She coerced herself on him. I would say, that’s not the same… Plus she isn’t a team-player. She doesn’t care about others, it’s all about herself. The BRF serves the nation, visits charities, handles with affected people’s problems & issues & concerns’ on daily b. Rules, protocols are a main part of them, I think meanwhile Markle had understood. She never could bear the responsibility the 'job’ requires. ;)
Dear anon@ Harry was given a huge honor by 'handling’ him the patronage of the RM over. I think he knows that well. Royals don’t pass on their own charities & partronages to each other without seriously reasons.. Each issue is taken in the RPs seriously. Just recall the Obama summit with Chantal in case of Harry. Harry got more representative 'jobs’, bcs HE is trusted. ;)
Dear anon@ I said the engagement was coerced and he was forced to agree to protect what he has to protect… ;)
Dear anon@ he broke up with her in Dec. 2016 after she was caught by taking pictures of a prohibited area at KP in his home. They saw each other btw January-IG (10 months) 2 times. If you’re interested in the 'background-story’, you can find everything about incl. romantic scam on JD’s blog. Thank you dear Skippy for all your efforts. ;)❤
Dear anon@ markle is an actress, hence she depends on lucrative income for living that she earns mainly by merchandising. For getting contracts with fashion labels/being covered on product pl. in magazines it is credibility required. GC is well known by the showbiz industry. Hollywood is watching carefully what happens. Once her credibility is gone, her future is destroyed. With each “debunked” H+M rumor she approaches her end. She has exaggerated, thus she will lose everything at the end ;)

Reason Dictates You Must Not Dance
Pairing: Ninth Doctor/Rose Tyler
3602 words - jealousy, pining, second person pov, present tense, cuddling
Another take on an old trope.
The Doctor feels jealous once someone approaches Rose on the dance floor, but instead of storming in and whisking her away, he runs.
AO3
She's dancing.
She's dancing and it's like the lights are dancing with her, the way they pulse and thrum and beam into a myriad of colors around her.
She moves with the music and you could almost forget that this club wasn't made for her, that she's millions of miles and thousands of years away from ever actually having the authority to claim ownership over the dance floor. You almost forget because she owns it all anyway, lack of legal documentation be damned. She's not "no one" tonight.
No, she's brilliant.
She's beaming.
She's luminescent underneath the strobe lights—or maybe you're just biased—and she's having fun. So, it doesn't matter that you'd rather be somewhere else, because you know she deserves it. Deserves a little something indulgent like this every once in awhile.
You? You're standing by the wall, away from the massive throng of gyrating bodies—gyrating? really?—yet still somewhere you can keep watch on her in case she gets hurt. In case she accidentally bumps into an alien with communication problems and anger management issues, in case someone touches her the wrong way, or, maybe, in case something blows up and you've gotta be able to quickly grab her hand and run.
(Hah. That last one actually sounds kind of fun. Your kind of fun, that is, once you ignore all the hazards and consequences and just leave it all to the adrenaline.) You try not to feel guilty about how you chose not to join her, at how you pointedly declined her earlier offer. You try not to regret how all of this just isn't your style. Old, grumpy alien, you are. You don't exactly belong here. You know better. There's a rather attractive boy shimmying his way to her side, you notice. He’s all height and perfectly coiffed hair and gentle, disarming features. Yeah. That guy, he'd belong here. He can dance with her. You can't. She notices him and she flashes him a smile. Pretty boy returns it, says something, and you can only assume he's chatting her up. Probably whipped out one of those cheesy pickup lines that are meant to be alluring but she thinks are actually hilarious because next thing you know, she's laughing. She glances at you briefly before turning completely toward him, amusement clear in the curve of her smile. He's got her attention. He's got yours, too. They speak for a few minutes, turning and twisting as the music demands, and then they move from the dance floor over to a nearby table. You can't decipher what they're saying over the confusion of the background chatter and the thumping bass, but you can tell she's enjoying his presence.
You briefly wish your arsenal of Superior Time Lord Senses included heightened long-distance selective hearing, but then you remember that you're not a creep. She might be your companion, but she's just that: your companion, and while that means you try your best to protect her it doesn't mean you get to lord over her every waking decision.
She's entitled to a private life, a life separate from you. Pretty boy rests a hand on her knee and you try not to scowl. She doesn't shake it off. She doesn't care. She’s enjoying herself.
You keep all these things in mind as he inches closer.
Swallowing down something in your throat, you realize you probably shouldn't be watching this. She'd probably want to be alone if she actually takes a liking to this guy.
Yeah.
A private life. This is her private life. Right now, the planet is in peace. Their timeline is stable; you checked. You managed to land somewhere legitimately safe and their security measures are immaculate. It's a golden age: crime rates are low and folks are walking around with manners, even in a club. It's great.
Fantastic. You should be able to leave her alone without worrying. Just as pretty boy throws an arm around her shoulders, you turn around. In the corner, there's some poor bloke passed out on a couch, communication device in one hand and fruity intoxicant in the other, and you stride over to him.
You deftly pluck the device out of his hand, sonic through its digital genetic lock, and type out a message. The message should translate into a text for her on her rigged-up 21st century mobile, so you don't have to worry about her not being able to find you. She always checks your messages.
You tell her you'll be in the next room, where it's a just a bit quieter. Immediately after the message is sent you erase all evidence of your presence and deposit the device right where you found it, muttering a "thanks" you know the bloke who owned it isn't conscious enough to hear. Looking back up at her, you witness her startle at the sudden buzz in her pocket. You walk out of the room as she finishes reading, allowing her only a glimpse of your figure as you escape.
It's more like a lounge than anything else. The room you've fled into seems almost subdued, a sharp contrast to the riotous dance floor on the other side of the wall. The lighting is dim and once the glass door slips shut behind you the music withdraws into the background, a muffled remnant of the scene you've left behind. While it's not nearly as crowded, the room is a far cry from desolate. You have to stride past a variety of giggling couples before you manage to make it to one of the seats in the back. Sitting down now, you recline, stretching out your legs and entwining your fingers behind you so you fold your arms and reach up to support your head. If you close your eyes, you'd be the perfect image of confident nonchalance and relaxation.
So you do. You close your eyes and you block out the wayward ambient noise all around you.
But that doesn’t mean you’ll find any peace.
The silence of your lonely mind is imposing, and yours is the only voice in what should be a thrumming sea of existence and life. You know you are alone even as others seat themselves around you, even as you sense the turn of the earth and recall how the planet thrives. Your own head works itself into a hollow cavern, amplifying every thought your restless spirit provides and echoing them back with more force, more significance than before. It’s like your thoughts are louder than they should be.
Terrified of being swept away, you try not to think of troublesome things. Things like your own feelings or the crushing loneliness surviving entails, for example. Things like the wonderful girl sitting in the next room over. Or, worse yet, how that wonderful girl transforms those feelings and chases away the loneliness. How she makes surviving seem less like a sin.
But when your brilliant mind moves at a million miles per second and your two hearts claw at away at your rib cage you can’t. You just can’t.
You're caught. You didn't really stay just to protect her. No, there's more to it than that, isn't there? She's strong, resourceful. She's always telling you how she can handle anything, and you've never doubted her, not once.
In truth, the place is safe. You had no real reason to shadow her. You just wanted to stay—to see her smile, to see her dance—all because you think she's fantastic and the sight of her so happy makes you feel like a fool. You turned away because you wanted to go to her. You wanted to walk up to her and sweep her away, wanted to distract her and take her mind off of that stranger, but you knew you couldn't. You fled because you loved her more than you'd care to admit, more than you could admit, and you knew you shouldn't.
You're really only there for a few minutes before you feel a tap on your shoulder. It’s gentle at first, and brief enough that it quickly fades into a memory, leaving you with the impression that it hadn’t even happened in the first place. Still, it managed to shock you into awareness, so when it comes back, a bit more insistent, you can’t ignore it any longer.
You crack open an eye to gauge your assailant, maybe even to tell them to bugger off, but then you’re met with the familiar image of unruly blonde hair, tousled and tinged maroon in the dim lounge light, sweeping across slightly flushed skin. She’s standing before you, hovering right above you, the source of all your brooding turmoil. She looks almost like how she does at the end of the day, after she lets go of your hand, after you make it back to the TARDIS safely... after running for your lives.
Must be the dancing.
You release your arms from behind your head and sit up, regarding her with an inquiring expression which she promptly ignores.
“Tired?” she asks, moving to sit beside you.
“Hardly,” you reply. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”
“Maybe.” Her lips quirk into a smirk. “I might be a little knackered. Just a bit.”
She shifts a little, edging closer toward you. Instinctively, you lift your arm, and she moves to gather herself under it and relax into your side.
“That why you came back here? Had enough of dancing?”
She breathes out a slight chuckle. “Nah, never get enough of dancing. Jus’ figured I’d... Break for the night or something. Make sure a certain Time Lord doesn’t get too lonely,” she adds, a mischievous glint in her eye.
You roll your eyes, masking the affection spreading unbidden deep within your chest. “What about your friend back there? Wouldn’t he get lonely, too?” you ask.
She grins this time, almost like she can see through everything you do, everything you hide.
Or maybe that's just something she does and you’re a little paranoid.
“Well, you’re full of questions,” she teases, then pauses. “We were talking about you, you know.”
“Oh?”
“He thought you were after me.” Her voice floods with mirth, “Wanted to warn me or something. Like you were some sort of predator.”
“Predator?” You echo indignantly. “ Me? ”
She’s laughing now. “God, Doctor, say something that doesn't end in a question mark, yeah?”
“I’m not some sort of predator. Not the least predatory, me. Going around stalking girls?” You scoff, “Stupid.”
“I know,” she says. “But you can't blame ‘im, can you? Lurking off to the side an’ watching me... All tall, dark, and threatening in that leather jacket of yours.” You raise your eyebrows and she pokes your chest. “Don’t even try an’ deny it. Anyway, it was sweet of him. He was kind of cute...”
She trails off and you catch yourself unconsciously pulling her closer. The movement doesn’t go unnoticed, and her grin turns sly for a moment before it becomes playful and teasing yet again. You try not to think about what could possibly be running through her head.
“I noticed. He’s your type, isn’t he? You know, a little bit pretty.”
“Might be,” she pretends to consider it. “Something wrong with that?”
“No, it's just—” just that he’s not me, you almost say, but then you shake your head. “I don't have to worry ‘bout you dragging him on board ‘cause you're a little fond of him now, do I?”
Her smile falters. You continue regardless, “What is it this time? Not the stars, I hope. A little bit unoriginal, that. Always dreamt of seeing Mars?”
“What are you talking about?” She bristles, “He doesn't—I don’t—”
“Sure you don't.”
Her expression flares and she sits up a bit, hand pressed flat against your chest. Her warmth filters through the wool of your jumper and onto your skin. “That was a one-time thing! So I made a mistake, it’s fine now. He’s back home!”
“‘Course, it's fine,” you scoff, “S’not like that one mistake of yours destroyed everything. No, nearly kill you and condemn the entire human race, sure, but yeah. We’re good.”
“What's the matter with you?” she demands. “It wasn't a big deal before. I thought you—Why’re you bringing it up now?”
You stiffen, unborn excuses dying in your throat. Not a single reason manifests itself in that impressive brain of yours—at least none good enough to justify you and your actions—and you turn your head away, avoiding her gaze. Guilt and shame well up inside you, bubbling, rising up and burning like bile at the realization that you’re just picking a fight now. Like some sort of... child.
A stone lodges itself in the place where your stomach should be. You hesitate to respond for far too long, the silence stretching out between you both emphasized by how much easier it is to decipher the conversations of those around you. She sighs and deflates, sinking back into your arms.
She doesn’t leave you.
Reaching a hand up, you gently begin to comb your fingers through her hair. It’s soft and it tickles your cheek. “I’m sorry,” you say, achingly tender. “‘M just being an idiot. I never blamed you for anything, not really.”
A second passes. “S’okay,” she mumbles. “I know.”
You keep stroking her hair and she moves to fiddle idly with your jacket. Taking a deep breath, you adopt a lighter tone of voice. “Where is he, anyway?” you ask.
“I talked to ‘im,” she answers. “Convinced him I was fine an’ he left, easy. Y’know, he tried to seem all familiar with me so he’d scare you away. S’all it was. But I told him I knew you and you weren’t dangerous.”
Something flutters inside your chest. “Now, Rose Tyler, who told you I wasn’t dangerous?”
“Like you’d hurt me. Or anyone, you plum,” she says, and you just know she’s rolling her eyes. “At least, not on purpose. Not if you can help it. Why’d you leave all of a sudden?”
“It just... felt wrong,” you shrug. Before she could tense up you add, “No trouble. Just didn't wanna shadow over you while you were... making new friends. Bit creepy, that. Should give you some time to yourself.”
“So you left ‘cause you thought I was with someone else?”
“You could put it like that, yeah.”
She shifts a bit in your arms, shaking slightly, and you realize she’s chuckling. Leaning back a little, you peer at her questioningly. “Is that what this was?” she asks once she looks up at you. “Are you jealous, Doctor?”
At your incredulous expression, she just completely dissolves into giggles, lifting herself from your embrace slightly. You open your mouth to protest but she shushes you, snickering. “Don’t worry,” she says. “‘M jus’ teasin’. God, imagine that: you, the Doctor, jealous. Of some random bloke in a club."
You shake your head in exasperation and glance away to hide how on-point her assumption was. You were jealous of some random bloke in a club. But that... doesn’t need to be confirmed.
Once she calms down, you glance back, wary. Her giggles have dissolved into a delicate but still generously amused smile, and the look in her eyes makes your hearts stutter. They gleam, even in the subdued lighting of the lounge, and they leave you almost wondering if, maybe, she was hoping you were jealous. There’s more to her look than humor alone.
The thought is ridiculously pleasing, too satisfying to ever entertain.
“Hey, I’ve been wondering, how’d you get to sendin’ that text? I know you don't have a mobile.”
“Borrowed it from someone passed out in the corner,” you answer easily. Her smile widens just the slightest bit at that.
“Of course. Should've guessed. Far be it from you to honestly go out and buy a mobile of your own,” she teases. “Jus’ gotta nick it from some poor unconscious bloke, right?”
“The only way to go about it, really,” you grin and she shakes her head, chuckling.
When she speaks again, her tone is noticeably softer. “But, y’know... I was really disappointed when I got that text.”
“What do you mean?”
“You were leaving. I didn't want you to go.”
You regard her, confusion contorting your expression. “I was just heading to the next room. It seemed like you had plenty enough company. Not good for much besides watchin’ anyway, and look where that got me.”
“Yeah, but... S’jus’ nicer with you there, even if you're only watching. I like you near,” she says, and for a moment you swear one of your hearts seized. It was such a simple admission, really, and completely harmless, but the way she’s looking at you leaves you hoping. You admonish yourself for the satisfaction blossoming in your chest.
Before you can register you’ve done it, you wrap your arms around her and pull her up against you. She’s practically sitting on you now, and the warmth of her body seeps through your clothes, heating up the cool of your skin. A very selfish, impractical part of you wants her even closer. You’re too busy trying to fight that impulse to ease your embrace and scoot away.
She looks at you with wide, curious eyes.
“Really?” you ask, and it takes her a second to realize what you’re referring to. When she does, the haze clears.
“Yeah.”
You duck your head until your faces are close enough to share a breath. Her nose almost brushes against yours. “Is this near enough?” you murmur, voice low. Her eyes darken, pupils dilating.
“I dunno,” she whispers. “Could be nearer...”
The intensity of her gaze could haunt your dreams at night. There’s something there, mingling in the air you share, a sort of tension that leaves you wanting. She eases closer, and she tilts her head. You’re almost there, you are, but then her eyes flutter shut and you snap out of it. Reality crashes into you like a curse.
Pulling back swiftly, before your lips could ever really meet, your hands slide up to gently grasp both sides of her face. You tilt her head down and lift yours, placing a kiss on her forehead instead. Her eyes open and a myriad of emotions flicker across her face, providing a brief yet vibrant display of shock and confusion and everything inbetween. You’re warring with the regret rising in your chest when you pull back and plaster on a wide grin.
You tell yourself that she was just caught in the moment. That you imagined the disappointment in her eyes. Because, what else could you do? You’d break otherwise.
Cutting through the super-charged atmosphere, you speak, voice adopting a tone far too pleasantly manufactured to be natural. It’s almost jarring, and you hold back a wince.
“You’re stuck with me, then.”
“What?” she begins, and every word that follows is breathless, dazed. “What’re you talkin’ about?”
“You said you’d like me to stay,” you explain. “So I’ll stick with you. No more unchaperoned alien clubbing for Rose Tyler. Nope.”
Her grip on your leather jacket tightens. She searches your face—analyzing it, almost—so you put on the most normal expression you can while pleading, really, that she doesn’t push further and that she doesn’t ask you any questions you can’t bear to answer. She seems to find something, although you’re not quite sure what, and she relaxes. Her face falls, her shoulders slump, she sighs... and then she sends you a small smile.
“Sounds good. Thanks, Doctor.”
She shifts a bit and settles back into you. Her head hits your shoulder and she keeps it there, resting. Now, it’s your turn to sigh. You let the grin go.
“Tired?” she asks. The conversation has come full circle.
“Hardly,” you reply, just as you should. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”
Her breath tickles the skin of your neck. “Maybe.”
“No more dancin’?”
“Not for tonight.”
You gently ease her up, carefully moving her off of you. As your bodies shift apart, leaving you feeling more than a little bereft, you offer her your hand. “Then let’s go home, Rose.”
“Alright,” she says, and she laces her fingers through yours.
The console room is quiet once she wishes you goodnight. You’re left with only the comforting hum of the TARDIS in the background to accompany you and overall, it’s definitely much better than the club scene. No comparison necessary. You’re back where you belong.
But still, after what you’ve just done—or rather, didn’t do—you don’t really have it in you to appreciate the quiet. What were you doing, chasing after the silence? Using it as an excuse to run away when you should have known it would lead you directly to what you feared most? The quiet only reminds you of what you lost and what you could never have.
This is why you’re always moving.
Heading into that lounge, for example, was a mistake. Not only did you fall deeper into yourself and every single thought you care to avoid, but you unknowingly prompted her to come after you, wrenching her from a good time and leaving her at your mercy. Really. This is ridiculous. You’re ridiculous.
Next time, you won’t be able to pull back fast enough. You won’t remember that there are other, safer options like kisses on foreheads or cheeks or no kisses at all, even, and you know why.
You love her, you old fool. You love her.
How long do you think you can hide it for?

The Collective Conscious
Disclaimer: I’m going to ask a lot of questions in the following paragraphs. These questions are rhetorical. They are a call-out to every comment section, coffee shop, police station, and living room couch where seemingly meaningless banter has perpetuated one of the oldest and most destructive narratives surrounding violence against women. If you find yourself feeling personally attacked by my critique of certain behaviors and attitudes, odds are you’ve contributed to that narrative.
Part I: The Collective Commentary
Think about the last time you read about a high-profile sexual harassment or assault case. Ponder the public commentary that followed. What were your initial thoughts? What did your colleagues, friends and family have to say? Keep those conversations in mind moving forward.
A few weeks ago, actress Amber Tamblyn came forward with her experience being propositioned at the ripe age of 16 by a much-older James Woods. When she told him her age, his response was, “Even better” (… Ew.). If you’ve managed to avoid this particular conversation, it started when fellow actor Armie Hammer called out Woods’ hypocrisy after he insulted the premise of Hammer’s new movie, which focuses on a love story between a 17-year-old and a 24-year-old. This is relevant considering Woods has openly dated multiple women that are 40+ years younger than him. Tamblyn drew upon her own experience with Woods to reiterate that he has not only dated women below the legal drinking age while he was in his 60’s but he has knowingly attempted to start some sort of sexual relationship with at least one 16-year-old, leaving him with no leg to stand on in this particular argument.
Considering the spectrum of scandal we read about on a regular basis, this would seem pretty innocuous (albeit creepy and potentially illegal). Tamblyn spoke briefly about her own experience in a 140-character tweet. Pretty black and white, right? Wrong. Keep in mind; this isn’t even a case of sexual assault. It was a short conversation that happened 20 years ago and they never spoke again. However, the mere implications of a woman speaking up about the predatory behavior exhibited by a successful man are enough to put the public on the defensive. Cue the onslaught of insults and doubts hurled at Tamblyn by complete strangers. At first, I dismissed this as more of the same old “but… but… she has no proof! How do we know she’s not lying?” bullshit but I couldn’t bring myself to. That bullshit is more than just bullshit. It’s a symptom of a much larger problem.
For argument’s sake, let’s pretend the approach exhibited above is a rational way to react to a sexual assault allegation. If we’re going to abide by the “she might be making it up so we won’t decide on his guilt or innocence just yet” trope, let’s take a look at the numbers. Statistically, the probability of someone filing a false report of sexual assault is minimal. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, only 2-10% of reports are false. This means that for every sexual assault reported, there’s a 90-98% chance the accuser is telling the truth. Knowing that, are you still willing to call upon the very slim chance that she’s not telling the truth as justification for your hesitance? Mere validation of her experience requires the absolute bare minimum that could be asked of you. Yet you’re hesitant to even do that.
Why are we so weary to believe a woman who comes forward with claims of sexual assault or harassment? Why is it so much easier for us to believe that women are overly-emotional henchmen hell-bent on wreaking havoc on their male counterparts in exchange for attention, wealth, power, or recognition? How did this perception of women as vengeful, spiteful creatures become so deeply ingrained in our collective psyche?
Why is it so much easier to believe that than it is to believe that some people are just shitty? Why can’t we accept that some men get validation from imposing their misogyny on women? How many times do we have to learn that sometimes people do awful things with no reason or explanation? How many more women do we have to cast in the shadow of doubt before we start taking them seriously?
There was a time when I bought into this same line of thinking. Even as a woman, I was constantly looking for holes in the stories of victims, trying to discredit them without justification. I judged their path of action or inaction based on what I was sure I would have done in that same situation. Looking back, it was as if I thought negating their experiences would save me the discomfort of being forced to acknowledge the reality: Anyone can be a rapist and anyone can become a victim. Depravity does not discriminate.
Acknowledging my misguided and regressive views is both nauseating and liberating. Owning up to my ignorance has freed me from the shackles of prejudice, discrimination, and cultural fallacies. The only way things will get better is if we, as a society, do the same.
Part II: Collective Questions
When it comes to sexual assault, justice is a privilege afforded to few. The very least we can do as a culture is stop treating victims like criminals. We make them prove their pain is warranted before we’ll even acknowledge it. Why do we feel entitled to validating or dismissing someone’s experiences? Why do we have to first feel “convinced” before we believe a victim?
I’ll never forget hearing these words from someone I love dearly days after my own assault: “I don’t understand why he just let you go.” He didn’t come out and say, “I don’t believe you” or “I can’t decide whether or not to believe you.” But the message was clear. He couldn’t make sense of my experience so he couldn’t come to terms with its validity. That’s the problem. Not everything makes sense. My experience doesn’t have to make sense to you in order for it to be deserving of acknowledgement and validation.
Sexual assault is a paradox wrapped in misunderstanding and drenched in stigma. Let’s tackle some of the most common arguments/questions/statements made after someone (especially a public figure) is involved in a sexual assault allegation:
1. “A rape allegation could ruin his life/career so I don’t want to jump to conclusions.”
This argument affords the rapist the same decency you’re denying the victim. There’s always a hint of “I don’t quite believe it” when this is said. You don’t want to jump to conclusions about his guilt but you’re willing to jump to conclusions about the victim’s truthfulness and possible motivations? If we’re all so worried about ruining a man’s life after being accused of sexual assault, why don’t we care even a fraction as much about ruining the lives of victims by calling their integrity into question?
Also, let’s not forget that rape allegations rarely ruin a man’s life. For crying out loud, our current president has been accused of raping a 13-year-old and sexually harassing countless women. So let’s not pretend that the public cares so much about sexual assault that they won’t look the other way if the rapist is talented enough, rich enough, charming enough, or powerful enough. Think of all the athletes, actors and business moguls who have maintained their jobs and success in spite of such things.
2. “She’s probably just after his money/power/status/etc.”
Anyone who has been through the process of filing a police report will tell you that this is just bullshit, especially if a public figure is involved. There is no amount of money, power or notoriety that will compensate for the humiliation, powerlessness, and helplessness that comes with sexual assault. This begs the question: Why is it easier to believe a woman would allege rape in pursuit of fame and money rather than the pursuit of justice and closure?
3. “She’s doing it for attention.”
This feeds into an age-old trope that is both destructive and sexist. The root of this lies in the idea that women are these fragile, emotional creatures who are just one step away from complete instability.
Not to mention, the kind of attention the public forces upon victims is most certainly not the kind anyone would want. Many victims in the public eye will experience unrelenting and unwarranted character attacks, verbal abuse, and pure vitriol. This all feeds into women’s unwillingness to report sexual assaults and only pours gasoline on the fire that is rape culture in America.
4. “What about (insert details about that one famous case of false allegations)?”
Want to know why that case in particular sticks out in your mind? Because it’s a break from the pattern. If every single sexual assault was reported on, there’d have to be a 24-hour TV channel dedicated just to that. So when you compare the number of false allegations to the truthful ones, this point becomes moot. This is nothing more than a false equivalency fallacy that attempts to take attention away from the terrible nature of sexual assault by pointing out “that one time” it didn’t really happen. It’s like treating every mugging victim like they’re lying just because you heard from your friend’s second cousin that he knows a guy who lied about being mugged once.
Part III: The Collective Changes
Where do we go from here?
1. Acknowledge this for what it is: a vicious cycle we need to break free from.
2. Start analyzing our reactions to hearing about assault or harassment. Stop listening to that voice in your head telling you to question the credibility of the victim. Remind yourself that there’s an overwhelmingly strong chance she’s telling the truth and leave it at that.
3. Stop putting the feelings and well-being of the accused above the accuser. This person has very, very likely been through something incredibly traumatic and that deserves to be acknowledged.
4. Sexual assault doesn’t belong in the Court of Public Opinion. Put the gavel down and step away from the TV. From birth, we’re involved in this narrative (often unknowingly) that sculpts our thought process surrounding sexual violence. We’re constantly lambasted with critiques of rape victims and their accusations, some subtler than others. Many of us buy into this narrative, only to be shaken awake when we (or someone we love) become a victim ourselves. This backwards belief system is so deeply engrained in our collective conscious that more than 60% of victims will never report their assaults out of fear of being on the receiving end of all the doubt, ignorance and cognitive dissonance that accompanies reporting and talking about sexual assault.
5. If you’re one of those people who feel entitled to impose their opinion on everyone via online comment sections, just don’t. Fight that urge. You don’t need to explain why her story doesn’t make sense and you certainly don’t need to call her names. You don’t need to analyze the situation as if it were your own. If you don’t understand it, that’s okay. It’s not for you to understand. Humans are flawed, messy, unpredictable creatures. That’s why crimes like rape even exist. So stop trying to make sense of the senseless. Caring about others is more important than being right or wrong.
6. If you truly feel compelled to speak about it in any sort of public forum, only do so to offer support. There’s enough harmful rhetoric floating around the public domain and you don’t need to add to it. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
7. You don’t have to believe or disbelieve every sexual assault allegation you hear or read about. Let go of that instinct and do better. If it’s a loved one, listen to them. Love them. Ask them how they’re doing. Ask them what you can do to help. If it’s a well-known public case, don’t involve yourself in destructive discussions that attempt to discredit the accuser. Again, you don’t have to believe or disbelieve. Just acknowledge it and try to learn from it.
With so many platforms for voicing our opinions, words matter now more than ever. But it’s not just the deep dark corners of the Internet that hurt us. Our children absorb every ounce of this commentary. It’s about what we say and what we mean. It’s about the words we use and the tone in which we say them. It’s breathing life into the archaic idea that we can pass judgment on people we don’t know and experiences we didn’t have. We have to do better.
