I need to get rid of the old story, of that girl who goes unnoticed, who doesn't have a partner, who isn't the standard, is ignored and her tray is at 0. aaaa I persist but then I see nothing in 3d and it hurts. I try to manifest my classroom of 96 people and embody Malena, that's it. But what if I don't see movement? The past ties me up

Stop paying attention the old story and the old you, stop focusing on lack. That's the only thing stopping you. You're supposed to assume and affirm that you have it and yet you check the 3d, see nothing and then agree and follow exactly what the 3d is saying when it's just an old newspaper. It's something old and outdated. I explained everything you have to do in the last ask.

You're consistently persisting more on what the 3d is showing you and not what you wanna see. Why let the 3d stop you? You are meant to lead it with your thoughts/assumptions and it follows you not the 3d showing you something and you follow what it says when it is supposed to be the one catching up to you. Go and lead the 3d and think what you wanna see and don't give up the second you look around and see the lack. You're focusing too much on the lack of it. The 3d has no choice but to change if you will just grow a backbone and don't let it change your thoughts.

Oh you don't see them pining for you?

Correct the 3d! "You silly goose. Look, they're just so intimidated and shy when I'm around that they pretend they don't pay attention to me"

Remember that you're like an actor and you're acting and creating something you don't see yet in your mind. Every time, you let the 3d change your mind and get affected by the old story, you were yelling "cut!" yourself and not letting the scene be filmed correctly. Lead, act in your mind and correct the 3d. This is the most helpful thing I can give you. Say "You don't see it but I do. Look at them all staring at me." You're the story writer so take charge of the story. When you let the 3d change your mind, it's like you're copying and creating the old story over and over again. Wanna stop that? Then let's create a new story. Be unbothered and unfazed by the 3d. You're the main character and the writer here. Do not give your power up. Actually persist. Say "It's in my reality. It's already done." and stop checking. Start living that reality. It all starts in the mind.

How do I let go of the past? I am claiming to be an it girl, femmr fetale like Malena but I remember the rejection or the times I was not noticed existing, the standard or the typical popular unattainable guys. In a month I'm going back to college and I want to become the most popular girl in college, iconic, a beauty queen but I remember everything and the 3d panorama, the popular girls and all that. It's terrible. I will try going to a vip zone of famous and wealthy people where everyone is beautiful and I want to fit in and see if those "unattainable" guys will notice me and not just ignore me, I'm scared because I always thought before that they are beautiful and they notice girls as beautiful as the standard. What if it doesn't work, what can you advise me? Thank you

hey!

so first things first, once you claimed you are the it girl, then you are it. you have to act exactly how an it girl acts. when someone doesn't notice her, she doesn't mull over that but instead her thoughts are akin to "his loss" and "i'm too good for him anyway". so be like that. someone didn't notice you? oh, they're so blind. they rejected you? they don't know what they just lost.

secondl you're not going to go to that vip zone "hoping" someone notices you, or "try and see" if you fit in with them. no! that is not very it girl and femme fatale of you. it girls don't "fit in". they show up, and everything and everyone around them tries to fit in with them and impress them. you're not impressing them, they're being impressed by who you are.

so just throw these what ifs into a trash can, and instead just think about the kind of person you want to be, and then embody that. embody the mannerisms, embody the thought process, everything. because that is who you are! so be that person. the past will fade away, like it always does. don't give your energy to something that doesn't in turn benefit you. be it girl-y like that.

good luck!

I am an insecure and average person. I have a hard time manifesting sp, because I try and some of them have girlfriends or never talk to me. On the other hand, I think I don't belong at all to the standard of beauty, which is why pretty boys don't notice me. I tried with affirmation tapes a couple of weeks ago, but I see the 3d and it's overwhelming. My sp was dating the most popular girl and everyone is dying for her, she is antonymous to who I am physically. I don't know how to feel, I'm already tired and sad, I wanted to manifest being as famous as malena and attract everyone. But I don't know, it just doesn't happen. And it depresses me to know that life goes on like this and my self-esteem is low. Thank you for reading me dear

STOP STOP STOP NOW! honey, you need to improve your self-concept rn

like, if you think these things about yourself and take them as facts, that's what reflects in 3d/physical.

you are dictating how people will see you, what they will think about you and even what they say about you.

leave your sp, his girlfriend and his friends aside for a few moments, like right now.

why do >you< think you are insecure and average???????? like wtf?? you're god, dear!

do you really need to fit into standards?? and.. what standards????

start thinking well of yourself, value yourself more, assume more self-confidence and self-love.

if you like to affirm, affirm that you are the most confident and beautiful person this world has ever seen. do u know why? because you are, darling! you're stunning, magnetic and totally perfect, everyone likes you, everyone admires you. you're everyone's crush. you are beautiful, you just lack the confidence and self-love to see it. you are the standard of beauty itself.

if you like listening to subliminals, listen to subs for self-concept and self-love, imagine your best version and be it.

stop acting like an extra in a beautiful story in which you are the protagonist.

take care of yourself, take care of your health, take care of your mind. this is important!

Heyy! Not to answer your ask with a question, but are you really doing what's needed to be done? Are you constantly thinking as if you're the version that has what she wants, attracts anyone she desires, has high confidence, is pretty asf? No. You're thinking that you're insecure, average and what not? That's what the 3d shows you.

Are you working on your self concept? No. Pathetic right? You're the reason that you don't have what you want. It is what it is unfortunately. So change yourself. Stop abusing yourself being the same person you don't like. Stop victimizing yourself, stop being rude and hateful towards yourself. That's just being pathetic. Cus ain't no Flynn rider or prince naveen is coming there to save you. You're in charge for your life. You're the creator, the operant power, you control what happens, so stop being pathetic and get up. That's all i got to say to you.

Self concept! Self concept! Self concept!

If you think that about yourself, you're painting a picture for other people that dictates how they see, think, and talk about you.

Ignore the sp and the girlfriend and the friends for a second, why the hell would YOU think you're average and insecure and don't fit the beauty standards? What standards anyway? Reel that negative self talk back in and start thinking highly of yourself! Affirm that you are the most beautiful person on this planet! That you're stunning and charming and magnetic and everyone admires you! That YOU'RE the beauty standards and that your confidence inspires people!

Listen to subliminals about self concept, visualise the best possible version of yourself and start embodying them. Quit acting like a background character in your own life when you're the main bitch!

Then when you feel like the baddy that you are, you can manifest the dumbass with the poor taste and questionable qualities.

Happy manifesting ❤️

Who are you? Who? To everyone, you're the example of the perfect father. To Lara you're a hero. To malena you're a good man. To elena you're her boyfriend. To mom, you're her ex and colleague. To me? To me you're a monster, you say you went through the same as me, but how is that possible? We're completely different. I'm so tired of having to come to this stupid house you rent the whole month for just four days, of having to call you every day and pretend I care about you, of having to pretend you aren't the reason my arms are sometimes covered in scars. I'm tired of hearing you say that my girlfriend is toxic, I'm tired of hearing you say I'm selfish when it's you the one who pretends to be the morally correct savior of the world. I'm so tired. Do I love you? No. Do I wish I did? Yes. I wish I had Lara's innocence, or maybe it's just that I'm the one child who you dont care for. The loud, weird fuck up who isn't deserving of love. I'm so tired of being the fuckup. So tired of everything. Everytime you say "when I'm gone" I wish it happens as soon as possible. I hate you in every sense. You disgust me. How can you insist on me having to be like you? I don't want that, I'd rather die. And I probably will, and then maybe, just maybe, you'll see the person behind the fuckup.

From your "child" to you, father

You and your people Malena are on the line you're out of line and your own people are arresting you and yours and you know that you're harassing our son and you want free stuff and it doesn't work anymore and usually we keep a suit like that but he says is put the better use and it is and what you're saying is you're going to your husband's funeral and it is it's true he shouldn't have done it. He doesn't like you doesn't want to do stuff with you doesn't want to run around like a mental patient and it doesn't find it amusing you do and you're very simple and should not be anywhere near the office of the President and you shouldn't be near our son and he doesn't like people who don't communicate effectively or clearly or a way it's not hostile is a bitter bitter enemy of people who are like you because you're mean to him I don't know if you want to compare him to an animal I mean why would you do that since you're acting like an animal all the time perhaps yeah it's like a big cat and you're pissing him off pissing him off and eventually he's going to bite your head off and you don't understand that because you're slow so he doesn't like the ACT and you're doing the act because you're afraid and you should be afraid you've made one hell of a freaking enemy call me half Tommy f and that's the worst the only other enemies you made or the Mac proper I guess that's much worse and really everybody's ready to be but you're just inciting them and really you made an enemy out of trump and you don't realize it he saw it and he's going to go after you he says and you're the second lady in Norman Bates hotel and you're very dead yeah very very dead and Sherry is being held by Trump and she's freed and she comes to Scarlet witch if she dies in battle and our son did find it and she still has power but really that's disgusting this guy of yours is afraid of loser and a pig and he's going to get killed and people see weird when and it's his own son and that's a heinous loser thing to do and they're saying that he will harm us as an analogy when he's controlled and looks like a Mac proper general with the energy source and it's because of what Trump is trying to do use up the oil and people won't have a power source and it'll be forced to use lithium batteries and it doesn't look like it's going to happen and Trump is trying to jam everything through all at once people want them out even the Mac proper are attacking him and his plans are not going to do anything he's way too brutish I mean he is way out there screaming and stuff screaming the max stuff and it is funny cuz you're really this retarded Man Billy Hicks running around screaming and screaming Stan is screaming and yeah you can't handle the new lobe so that's what that is Sherry probably has Uma Thurman in front and we think so and you people are discussing them from the start and you can't talk to people like you you're sitting here talking kissing yourselves off and feeling like you want something it's horrible you're so dumb but now we're going to go into what's happening now their forces at Trump's in the Midwest and middle areas where he is going to try and attack the pseudo empire and he is being wiped out and they're going to keep doing it he's getting wiped out in the rings and then Everglades and he is not going to come back his forces are going to diminish today we think he has we know he has about 18% roughly of the general population it's still kind of number most of it is isolated in the separated cities and Islands but we think that large percentage of them will die today alone 3% and will continue that way throughout the week yeah that's a huge number and big ships are coming in from the empire and different areas foreigners and we're coming in too with big ships and we'll probably pull Tommy f out and the Mac empire and foreigners and Trump has brought it down on them he's an idiot.

The most infamous and interesting “Harry Jones”

by Elodie Carlton

Godfrey Giuseppe Fernsby, more commonly known as Harry Jones, was born in Copenhagen in Denmark in 1837. Grace Holm, my closest friend who is currently visiting her grandparents in Copenhagen managed to find birth records and a marriage certificate for his parents. Birla and Giuseppe Fernsby had nine children in total, only four survived to adulthood, Godfrey, Tilda, Malena and Hildegard. Godfrey was their youngest and only surviving son. They emigrated along with 6 children in 1843 to The USA. Birla died in childbirth on the journey to America along with an unnamed baby girl.

The letters between the siblings were a fantastic starting point for my overall timeline of the gang. The oldest was dated 1856 making Godfrey nineteen; these letters were graciously translated by Grace Holm.

"Happy Birthday, Tilda my dear.

I was pleasently surprised by your last letter, many congratulations to you and Arthur. I pray every day for your health given our family’s past circumstances surrounding child bearing. I mentioned my worry for you to Hildegard who replied "Ma had nine children in total, it was only the location that killed her on the nineth." Which I do not agree with.

I commend you for your strength, it takes great courage to be a parent. I suppose you're much younger than Ma was which should work in your favour.

Hildegard is getting married. I know she is too stubborn to write to you since your spat but I thought it important you found out. Malena is courting as well, Riley Addams seems sweet enough on her but as a brother should, I am keeping the closest of eyes on them.

Malena sends her regards and expresses desire to visit, she is looking at moving from New York to settle on a ranch and I suggested New Jersey

As usual my life remains largely unchanged. I have begun work as a carriage driver but I doubt it will last much like all other jobs I take up.

I cannot help but miss you, Tilda dear.

Your favourite brother

Godfrey Giuseppe Fernsby Jr.”

“October 3rd, 1856

Gio, brother dearest.

I await your letters with excitement every month.

I am doing very well, I do confess I also felt fear going into this pregnancy given what happened to my ma. I have a doctor who lives only a few yards down the road who is surely sick of me asking questions. Everything is normal thus far, I believe I am 3 months along which means you will be meeting your first Niece/Nephew in early spring.

New Jersey is beautiful and quiet, the perfect place for Arthur and I to raise our family but there’s nothing quite like the hustle and bustle of New York City.

I am very happy for Hilde and her Fiance, whomever he may be. I do hope an invite is extended to Arthur and I. I miss you all dearly and would love an excuse to visit. I wouldn’t worry much about Malena, she is just as stubborn as you and twice as intelligent. She will see corruption before Riley Addams even acts on it. As for you, I hardly doubt a handsome young man like you has experienced no change in your love life. I see in your future a happy work life, three beautiful American children and a gorgeous wife. But you’re too young for all that yet.

Signed with Love

Tilda Birdie Dankworthe”

The second letter is dated march 1857

“March 18th 1857

Dearest brother

I write to you with the most spectacular news, I have given birth to a baby girl. Her name is Deborah Birla Fernsby Dankworthe in honour of her grandmother. She has jet black curls that remind me of yours and our dearly departed baby brothers. She has a birthmark just like Hilde’s and mine that matched mother’s. She is a reminder of my past and a beacon for my future and I have never been more enamoured with a living thing in my entire 20 years.

Arthur is overjoyed, many of his family have been to visit and stayed in the guest bedrooms for over a week upon me writing this. I must have you all over now so he can know how it feels.

I jest. Arthur's mother has been a great help. And his sisters love their niece just as I know you all will.

I’m so glad I chose to attend Hilde’s wedding, since we have made up, she is also writing to me. She is pregnant too, due sometime in fall. Our family is ever growing after so many tragedies. It just shows how fast moving time can be. Please come visit, Hilde and Malena have both agreed to come in April and I’d love for you to be there too to meet your baby niece.

Lots and lots of love

Tilda Birdie Dankworthe”

I do believe that Godfrey did visit and stay for a while or at least lived in the vicinity as his first recorded “act of indecency” happened in Delaware just at a town on the border.

“1863, June 11th

Godfrey.

I read the most distressing newspaper article in the New York Times. I know its you who it was written about. I understand you are a troubled youth but this is just horrific to read.

I cannot believe you could do such a vile act. It detailed 3 other crimes. I am so distraught I hardly know what to say. I knew you were troubled but I never thought you to be a sodomist.

I do hope you get the help you need for your mind to be normal. For a boy with God in his name you are racking up some amount of sins. I am so sorry you feel this is the way you must live.

Arthur doesn’t yet know, his aversion to reading The Times is in your favour. He would surely welcome you to the farm with open arms if you leave out the details of what happened.

Please consider God’s opinion. You have read the bible, I know you have, so why would you blatantly ignore its teachings.

Your concerned sister

Tilda Birdie Dankworthe”

Godfrey did not reply to this letter, the two never exchanged letters again to my knowledge

Tilda died in childbirth to her 9th child, a son who survived. He was named Godwin. All of Tilda’s children survived to adulthood.

Godfrey started the gang the following year (1864). He was 26 years old. I managed to gain access to crime tecords of Godfrey’s and found a list of known crimes of Godfrey/“Harry Jones”: Sodomy (twenty four separate accounts); Racketeering; Tax evasion; manslaughter (At least ten accounts); Prostitution (male and female? at least thirty three accounts); sexual assault; Child endangerment; Perjury (fifty five accounts!); kidnapping; extortion; forgery; burglary; criminal damage; trafficking; attempted murder; murder; drunk; public indecency; indecency with a man (two accounts); trespassing (one hundred and ninety three accounts.)

From this list of crimes I’ve deduced many things. Namely that Mr Jones and Mr Afram had a sexual relationship at one point in time, and they were caught in “indecent acts” on July 7th 1868 and again in 1879.

Godfrey/Harry was a deeply intriguing man. It’s clear that some sort of shift happened to make him want to pursue a life of crime. Perhaps the conflict between his homosexuality and his faith had something to do with it.

hiiiieyyyy professór. Soz this is in sooo late my computer has been updating for 3 weeks and I had all my research onit. thaaynksss xxx -3-

written like a report from a girl who does not care about her grade she just likes researching.

[devianttxrts]

"i'll show you where they park." there was a smile on her face, even though she knew full well how likely she was to do exactly that. her and six might have had their differences, but malena was more than happy to call some things karma. especially when the offer to inflict it amused her equally as it flattered her. "you get used to it." a shrug was given at the unfortunate truth. "hm, i dunno, i could see you making it to three days before fists started flying. you're stronger than you give yourself credit for." malena teased, taking advantage of one of the many positives that came with being a passenger as she leaned her elbow against the door and rested her head against her fist; better angled to look at six. she could have shivered at the implications. "i knew there was a reason i kept you around." the smirk she gave her was spirited, and she was entirely unable to help it if a little anticipation creeped in to show in her eyes. there was always something to look forward to with them.

this was how six knew she was never made for jobs like this, jobs where she helped or served, because being underappreciated in her line of work would end in a bullet. sure, she had a boss, but she got to operate like a freelancer more often than not. she didn't mind listening to malena's complaints for that very reason, though she couldn't fathom people being rude to someone like her. "mm, well y'know if it ever gets too bad you can always shoot me a text. i don't mind swinging by, taking down some names, slashing some tires." she grinned, knowing she'd probably do worse than that if the other let her. "i don't know how you deal with that shit, i would probably throw a punch on my second day if i even tried it." six lamented, chuckling as she shot her a glance. "s'alright, though, i'll make sure to wear you out tonight, get you to forget all about it." despite the teasing, they both knew she was far from all talk, six would back it up in due time, she was just focused on getting them back to her place right now.

Bruno x oc (Lola) nextgens under cut

Bruno and Lola Madrigals children Oscar Madrigal, 17 y/o (gift- Dreamwalking. He’s able to tell what dreams could be about, any secret meanings, and even help change them for the better (but sometimes, things could go wrong, and dreams can become nightmares, the tone shifting entirely)) Salvador Madrigal 14 y/o (gift - Comforting Perfume. He’s able to create a perfume that is comforting for a person to smell, triggering pleasant memories and feelings, and he’s able to bottle it up and give it to those in need. By boiling water, hes able to infuse the scent into it, creating the perfume)

Claudia Madrigal 6 y/o (gift - Illumination. She’s able to use moonlight, and all that relates, to light up areas/make things glow around her. She’s also able to slightly predict when danger is coming due to the star’s nature. Her lights come in the forms of standard moths, varying in size depending on how she casts them)

Children:

Oscars → Adella and Sofia

Salvadors → Valentino, Javier, and Maria

Claudias → Sebastian, Malena, Luca, and Luna (last two are twins)

Adella can see the red strings of fate, and is able to tell what sort of relationships come about with them. Right arm— friends, Right wrist— family, Left arm— pets, Left Wrist— Lovers. There can be broken strands, frayed strands, thick strands, and very thin ones. If she touches the ribbon, she’s able to reveal it to everyone in the room, and she is able to snip connections with a special pair of scissors.

Sofia can negate any gifts by speaking to the gift holder, and it's released when she grants it.

Valentino posses a version of his Abuela Lola’s gift, a sort of shadow magic. He’s able to create crystals that glow with an umbral energy, and he sells them as dreamcatchers, which they kind of are? They soak in negative energy and if they’re taken back to him, he can consume it all and get rid of it later with a small ritual.

Javier has super speed, and can travel across the whole town in 3 seconds.

Maria can make inanimate objects come to life. She can usually manipulate a couple medium sized things at once (pianos) OR one BIG one (a church) OR a lot of small ones (spoons and brooms).

Sebastian is able to control winter properties (frost, snow, ice). Can make winds chillier, cover things in aforementioned properties, and most of all create constructs and golems made of such things.

Malena can see into the past, able to see things as small as where someone forgot their hat or as big as ‘who hurt you all those years ago?’

Luca can teleport, and can travel as far as he can see.

Luna has an impressive pair of swan wings, and is able to fly, glide, and hover using them.

Salvador has a husband and a wife, Angel and Bianca. Valentino being Sal’s and Biancas, Javier being Angels and Biancas, and Maria being an adopted child, taken in as a baby. Angel is a very sweet and timid man, a gentle giant, whilst Bianca is a bit of a firecracker, doing things on whims to escape monotony.

Oscar has a partner, Sage, who is a he/him trans man. They wear bandages and have not had any sort of surgeries. Sage isn’t the brightest bulb in the shed, but he’s got a very good instinct. (Sort of like a Barley Lightfoot-H20 Delirious combo? Either way he’s a bit of a dunderhead).

Claudia has a husband, Leonel, who she’s childhood friends with. Leonel is a very compassionate yet very sarcastic pessimist. It contrasts well against Claudias optimism.

If you've made it this far, WOW. You're seriously dope. You get half off a commission! No joke. Send me an ask that says 'beep bop' if you got this far!

[early20sfailingplenty]

Hello, i saw the post about the cards from the sinclair brother and i wanted to see if you could do me one? (Three(four)?)

My name Is Malena and i would like all the brothers (+ you if u want)

I'm rn very stressed over the preparations for holidays and school that is right around the corner, and i'm also very scared because i don't remember anything and i fell like a failure/burden to my family

If you feel uncomfortable doing this erase it without problem, i will not get mad <3 Have a nice day. -M

Hey, Malena,

Thought I'd leave y'a lil' somethin' t'keep y'company while y're at school.

I know y're worried about not bein' able to 'member anythin', but I've seen y'work on homework an' y're so determined to get it right. Y'spend so long on just one question, just wantin' t'get it right, but y'ain't gotta be scared, sweetpea. Y'doin' amazin', so so proud o'ya. I couldn't be prouder if I tried, but I do. Tryin' is half the battle, Malena – look at'cha.

Don't matter what grade y'get or don't get, y're never a burden or a failure. Not t'me or m'brothers, not anyone. Grades don't define who y're or where y're goin'; they're just letters on a page. Important when y'get 'em, but there are ways an' means around 'em. Y're working so hard and y're gonna be jus' fine, sweetpea, I promise ya'.

I'll pick y'up tonight, yeah?

See ya', love ya', miss ya'!

Lester

Malena,

Listen, darlin'. Take y'time wit' everythin' y'got goin' on, and y'KNOW y'got m'brothers an' I. None of us are gonna' leave ya' for even a SECOND, not when y're okay an' definitely not when y're feelin' like this.

M'gonna' keep y'safe, darlin', from y'self an' everythin' else puttin' pressure on you. Y'only do what you can do each day, and anythin' else can wait until tomorrow. It ain't goin' nowhere. An' neither are you – ain't no failure or burden on anyone, you hear? Echoin' Lester now (we're sharin' paper 'cause we stole it from Vincent) but aren't things said twice by two different people almost always true? Only good things, mind. Ain't talkin' about shit talkin', tha's a whole other thing.

Go out ther' and kick some ass, darlin', I know y'know how.

Lester ain't the only one proud o'ya.

From, Bo.

Malena,

I don't know why Bo and Lester thought I wouldn't find out that they had stolen paper from me. The sneaky bastards left the torn paper remnants on my desk and the sketch pad was out of place. Do they think I don't have my own method of organisation down here?

They've never been able to hide things from me, even when we were kids.

My brothers and I will help you with any holiday preparations (I noticed neither of them addressed that part of your message but that's because they didn't want to be the ones to volunteer. Next time, just tell them you need their help. They won't refuse it if you phrase it like they have no choice), as well as anything to do with your schooling. It's not easy but you're doing your best and I'm very proud of you.

Don't be afraid to ask me for help. I can break into some of daddy's books if I need to. They haven't been touched for decades but that's all right. The data may still be of some use to you.

Yours, Vincent.

Hi, Malena!

I'm so sorry this was so late – it got lost in my inbox :(

I hope you enjoyed these letters, it was a challenge to follow the same theme without repeating myself so I hope each one scratches a Sinclair itch (if you're still into this fandom, I'm not too sure but I wanted to reply to this just in case).

If you ever want to vent or anything, please feel free to send an ask or DM me – I'm almost always online so I'll reply quickly!

Confidences in Allah (2015) by Marie Avril and Eddy Simon

This book recently published in Sweden, i went into it blindly because of the beautiful cover art!

I was so surprised seeing this soft cartoon style reminding me of Disney, but then have lots of mature themes of sex and despair. The story follows our narrator, a 16 year old nameless women, living poorly at a sheep farm, prostituting in secret for food.

One day an expensive luggage falls off a tourist bus, and it contains not only lots of money, but brand clothing and perfume. The young girl realize she is pregnant and is shamed off the property by her parents.

She takes her luggage and bribes herself a room above a bar with help of BJs. She works as a cleaner in the morning and prostitute at night, a man even proposes to her because of her being confident in her sexuality. But turns him down. Even if she's good at sex, she reveals to Allah that she hates it, it actually makes her very sad and depressed.

She births a baby in the gutter, where she also leaves it.

She eventually gets a job as a caretaker for some spoiled teenagers at a rich mansion. One of the sons rapes her, and i think even the father of the house too? They use her as a prostitute.

She is then later hired as private escort for a rich sheikh and becomes one with his harem. The women gets completely spoiled in richness, expensive clothing and jewelry. But one day police raid the mansion, and the sheikh bribes the police to leave his family alone but gives the OK to arrest his escorts.

The woman spends 3 years in jail where she finds herself deeper in to religion. When released, she spends her time at a mosque, where she is noticed by another rich man. This man is much kinder, and asks to make her his third wife. Which she agrees.

The stepmom sit and watch them consummate their marriage in the dark, to make sure she's a virgin. MC just fakes it by drawing blood from her arm and stain the sheets with blood afterwards.

She lives a somewhat happy life there for a while, til both stepmom and the husband dies of old age. She's still young but now back on the street again so she decides to move back home to the farm.

Her parents welcome her with open arms, forgot she even was pregnant (pretends it never happened?) and celebrate her success when seeing all the money. She feel content caring for sheep again.

Very unusual book for me to read, it was well written but it annoys me so so much how much power men had over her even if her sexuality was presented as a "power move". A solid 3/5 stars because the story definitely caught me!

Malena and the Happiness (1969) by Marita Lindquist

Ten year old Malena's mother has a nasty cold that won't go away. She's sent to rest up at the hospital for a week, but instead, the stubborn cold turns out to be serious pneumonia, and the mother never comes home again.

Shocked and distraught, Malena and her little brother along with their father has to continue their days without mother. A beautiful funeral is held but despite Christmas coming up, the family decide not to decorate.

Malena, being only a young child, help herself work through her mother's death by playing that she's always waiting. She'll go stand in the corner in the street and tell herself "ugh where is she, late again.." and pretend she just missed her, then going home from school to an empty house.

Malena still has school activities, and hang out with friends and collect cards of cute dogs but always feel guilty for having fun, when her mom is not able to feel this emotion anymore.

She also thinks that, as the lone female in the household, she now has to learn to do housework. Despite being so young! When i read her trying to cook coffee and running errands, i felt so sad for her! You're just a kid, you don't have to stress like that! Buhu.. 😭

The father decide that they will celebrate Christmas at grandma. Malena involving herself with the grown-up's errands is worried she no longer will receive Christmas gifts. She feel sad when only given an album for her cards from grandma, a very serious and organized gift. And an envelope from dad.

But when opening the envelope, her dad has drawn a ugly dog card for her collection, this one with the note "I'm will be ready in 2-3 weeks, please wait for me" — and he is giving her a dog!! She start crying for happiness, and confess she feel guilty for feeling happy. And dad comfort her that mother would have wanted to her kids to be happy.

And they lived happily ever after! I liked it, and the illustrations were like line-art sketches, very cute! 3/5 stars

Seconding Malena DeMartini's website, books, etc, whatever. Also Julie Naismith's facebook group (and book), which use the same method (DeMartini trained Naismith).

I've got a couple of sepanx clients right now and I give them the same three pieces of homework to start:

What is the maximum departure your dog is always okay with? This may mean "I can open the door". For a client today it was "I walk to the baby gate". For another client it's "out of sight for 5 seconds". Whatever. Find that maximum.

Make a list of all cues that indicate you are leaving. This may start with "put makeup on", or "removed the garbage bag from the bin" (both real examples). It should go all the way to "I walk out of earshot"/"I drive away". Pre AND post departure. Everything. Add 2 columns: One is "does this step depend on other steps?" (you can't drive away if you're not in the car; you can't lock the door behind you if the door isn't closed yet). The other is how hard does the dog find this step (easy/medium/hard).

Get a camera. I use Wyze Cam Pan, which was $30. Put the camera where your dog will be, and then practice with the camera. Make a second list: What cues can you see/hear on the camera that mean your dog is getting distressed? Aim for before full meltdown.

Modern sepanx training is called subthreshold training: All training sessions will be below the dog's threshold (which is why #3 is so important). Separation anxiety is a phobia, and every time you leave and Churro panics, it confirms to him(?) that he is right to fear you leaving.

So last thing: Management. The more you can end departures, the faster this goes. Can he be left with other people? Can he go to daycare? Is he comfortable (and safe) being left alone in the car?

But first goal is end all departures that make him panic, whether that means not being gone longer than he can cope, or drafting people to help out.

Hey anyone wanna talk about and give me tips for anxiety dogs? Specifically separation anxiety?

How can I help Churro be okay with me leaving the house?

Fuck it.

(barebones quality) Polna(reff)cest Headcanons/Thoughts

-> If we're following canon, I think they probably had some odd mutual feelings of romantic love, although these were never properly expressed. Blame the fact their dad left or some shit and their mom died pretty early. They really only had each other.

-> And that leads into the unfortunate part of canon. I feel like since his sister's death (and need to avenge her in some manner) was his main driving force, JP did truly love Sherry. Imagine all the time he had to reflect on these bottled feelings and imagine the frustration he felt over not being able to protect his sister's chastity/take it himself lmao.

-> [Insert Hilarious Remark On JP Penetrating The Dirt Clone With Chariot In The Anime Here] (As for the sad part... C'mon man. There's so much angsty symbolism to be derived. He finally lets go of the desire to see her one last time. He kills that part of himself. of course, i like to think that, in a funny way, if he were to end up in a serious relationship with a woman, she'd be so much like Sherry and he wasn't aware he subconciously sought out those traits and then he pseudoincests all over the place and calls her "sister" and exhibits slightly yandere tendencies because 🤤🤤🤤. OH WAIT MALENA KINDA RESEMBLES SHERRY. BARELY. DARK HAIR AND LIKE... SIMILAR EYE COLORS CUZ BLUE AND PURPLE R KINDA CLOSE LMAO)

-> Could be taken as supplementary to canon or straying from canon, but I personally see JP as nonbinary in the "people close to me are aware but I'm content with strangers thinking I'm binary" flavor, if that makes any sense? And I'm a believer in gender-affirming stands, and I think Chariot's weird little armor removal thing supports my idea somehow. Anyways, whatever, JP's afab (wait shit that definitely breaks canon) and eventually he sort of tells Sherry "I'm not your sister, but I'm not certain I'm your brother either" and Sherry's just like "That doesn't matter to me because you're my favorite person in the whole wide world" and basically [long sustained keyboard smash]

mmm polnacest 🤤
