A/N: The angst continues. Don’t worry, though, relief is coming :)

Warning(s): mild descriptions of violence

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6

Part 7 here we go!!!

Roger didn’t speak the entire drive to the hospital. You studied his face. His mouth was a hard line. His eyes were fixed on the road in front of him. You started to console him but decided against it. There was no definitive way to say that everything was alright. You knew as little as he did.

When you reached the hospital, you expected there to be chaos, only there wasn’t. It was a fairly typical waiting room, and the nurses sat patiently behind the counter. Roger marched right up to them.

“I’m here to see my wife, Dominique Beyrand,” he said.

“Oh, yes, she was just admitted,” the nurse said. “I’m afraid she isn’t suitable to visitors just yet, but we do need you to identify the clothes.”

“Identify the clothes?” you questioned. “Is she -”

“She’s alive,” the nurse assured you. “Only, we don’t know for sure which way she’ll go yet.”

Roger swallowed hard. You placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

“Stay positive,” you encouraged.

“Easier said than done,” he replied.

You nodded. The nurse started to lead Roger back, but she stopped you.

“He’s her husband,” she said. “But who are you?”

“I - uh - well…” you sputtered.

What were you at this point? You and Roger had kissed after dinner, but what did that mean? You didn’t get the chance to figure it out.

“She’s our lawyer,” Roger answered, coming to your rescue. “I’ll want her present while we speak to police.”

You wanted to argue this. You had never handled a criminal case in your career, but you decided to go with it and try to remember anything you could about criminal law. That is, if it came to that tonight. You still were clueless to the circumstances around it.

You and Roger followed the nurse back to a waiting room among the patients’ rooms. It was off to the side of the corridor. There were two police officers there, a man and a woman. They looked rather grave.

“Mr. Taylor?” said the male officer.

Roger nodded.

“I’m Officer Colmes and this is my partner, Officer Dotson,” he said, indicating the woman.

You blinked. “I’m sorry, Colmes and Dotson?”

The three of them looked at you.

“Surely you see the irony,” you insisted. “Colmes and Dotson? Like Holmes and Watson?”

They all continued to stare.

“Alright, not the moment,” you conceded. “But one day, we’ll look back on this and -”

“Y/N,” Roger said sternly.

“Right, sorry.”

You stopped talking. You didn’t know why you were so nervous.

“Mr. Taylor,” said Dotson. “Can you confirm this was the dress your wife was wearing tonight?”

She held up a shimmery garment contained in an evidence bag. You would have admired it if it wasn’t covered in blood. The deep red stains were mostly around the collar, so you realized most of the attack must have come to her face. You tried not to wince.

Roger looked white as a ghost.

“Yeah,” he choked out. “That was the dress she had on.”

“We only ask because she didn’t have a purse or anything on her,” Colmes said. “A nurse thought she recognized her from a magazine, and we went from there.”

“Can I see her?” Roger asked.

“Not yet,” Colmes replied. “They’re still sorting her out.”

“What happened?” you wondered. “Was her date injured too?”

Dotson’s brow furrowed. “She was alone. We were hoping you could provide us with some answers. She was on a date?”

She looked at Roger with a hint of judgement.

“Yeah,” he said. “We’ve been separated for a while, and our divorce is going to be finalized soon. She still lives with me, though, and we’re friends.”

“O...kay,” she said. “Did she tell you anything about the date? His name or where she’d be meeting him?”

Roger shook his head. “No, nothing. I didn’t ask, I didn’t want to pry…”

“Where was she found?” you asked.

“On the street in a neighborhood,” Colmes said. “A woman out jogging found her, and we don’t consider her a suspect.”

“Why not?” Roger wondered.

“Her hands were clean and free of any bruises,” Dotson said. “Which she would have had if she was the one who beat her. Also, she was rather small.”

Roger took a step back at that, as if Dotson had swung at him herself.

“Beat her?” he whispered.

Colmes nodded. “I’m afraid so. The medics who picked her up said it looked like whoever did it was didn’t use a foreign object or anything, just their hands. But Dominique fought hard. She has defensive wounds. Whoever did it has probably got a black eye and a nasty scratch on them somewhere.”

“Do you have -”

“We have officers out looking for a suspect, Mr. Taylor, rest assured,” Colmes said. “Unfortunately, she wasn’t found for a while. By the time the jogger found her, much of her blood was drying.”

“So she was just lying out there like that?” Roger asked. “All alone?”

Dotson nodded solemnly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Taylor, but I have to ask. Where were you this evening around ten o’clock?”

“I was with Y/N,” Roger said, indicating you. “At my home. My nanny can confirm it as well. Her name is Verity Bridges.”

“We’ll speak to her,” Colmes said. “That’s all for now, Mr. Taylor.”

“Thanks,” Roger said weakly.

The officers shook his hand and left. You watched them go, feeling lost. With them to talk to, you felt like action was being taken. Now what?

“You two can stay in this waiting room,” the nurse said. She had remained during the police interview. “I’m not sure you’ll be able to see Mrs. Beyrand tonight, but -”

“We’re waiting,” Roger said firmly. Then he looked at you. “At least, I am. You’re free to go home, Y/N.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it, Roger,” you returned. “I’m here for you.”

The nurse nodded and left, leaving you alone again. As you watched him sink down into a chair, it was hard to believe that half an hour ago you and Roger were making out on his kitchen counter. His jaw clenched. Because of his past, Roger was particularly sensitive to cases of men hurting women or children. You took a seat next to him and offered your hand. He took it, interlocking his fingers with yours.

“I shouldn’t have let her go,” he said.

“You couldn’t have stopped her,” you told him.

“I should have asked the questions,” he went on.

“You shouldn’t have to,” you said.

He stopped and you looked at him.

“Roger, this isn’t your fault,” you insisted. “No one could have seen this coming.”

“Can you help us press charges?” he asked suddenly.

“Well - I - um - I’m not a prosecutor,” you said. “I’ve never handled a criminal case. But Bill has loads of experience, I’m sure he can help.”

“I want you, though,” he said.

“That’s flattering, Rog, but if you want to win a case, you need the best lawyer for it,” you said. “Besides, this only matters if Dominique wants to press charges. Going through all of it again in front of a judge and jury could be quite painful for her.”

“She can’t just let him get away with this!” he cried.

“Roger, please!” you returned. “Calm down! We don’t know anything yet!”

“I can’t just sit here,” he spat, letting go of your hand and getting to his feet. He began to pace. “I feel like I’ve gotta do something.”

“There’s nothing to do,” you reminded him gently. “You must be patient and be there for Dominique when she wakes up.”

He sighed, looking moodily at the floor.

“I know you want to fix it,” you said. “But you can’t undo this. All you can do is be supportive.”

He opened his mouth to respond, but at that moment, a doctor entered. You and Roger’s eyes were glued to him.

“Mr. Taylor?” he asked.

“Yeah, that’s me,” Roger said, stepping forward to shake the doctor’s hand.

“I’m Dr. Wesley,” he said. “I’ve just finished treating your wife.”

“How is she?” Roger asked.

“She’s stable, for now,” Dr. Wesley said. “It could be touch and go for a while. She’s suffered severe injuries to her head.”

“Can I see her?” Roger wondered. “Please?”

“Sure,” Dr. Wesley agreed. “I must warn you, it may be a shock.”

Roger’s jaw clenched again as he braced himself. Then you followed them to Dominique’s room down the hall. As you came upon it, you swallowed. You were unaccustomed to violence, and seeing it always made you feel a bit sick. There were times as a kid when Roger came over after his dad was through with him that made you shudder to recall.

When you saw her, you clapped your hand over your mouth to stifle a scream. Dominique was nearly beyond recognition. Her face was swollen around her eyes. Her nose was already covered in bandages, but you could see it was disfigured and most likely broken. Her lips were caked with dried blood, but the split in her bottom one was clear. Her head was wrapped up as well. Purple bruises bloomed around her neck. The first two fingers of her right hand were in a splint. The knuckles were bruised. Her fingernails were broken and uneven. To top it all off, she had a tube in her nose and an IV in her arm.

You looked at Roger, but his face was unreadable. He was just staring at Dominique blankly, as if he wasn’t even sure what he was feeling. His eyes were filled with tears.

“Oh, Dom,” he said softly. “I’m so sorry.”

He reached out and took her left hand. His thumb absentmindedly ran over her ring finger, where her wedding band had left an impression.

“I’ll give you some time,” the doctor said, and then he left, closing the door slowly behind him.

There was a long moment where the only sound was the beep of Dominique’s heart monitor. You watched a tear roll down Roger’s cheek. Your throat tightened with emotion. He was not in love with her, but she was the mother of his children, and he cared deeply for her. You also cared. You considered Dominique your friend as well.

“When I was really little,” Roger choked out. “My father roughed up my mother.”

“I remember,” you said.

“D’you also remember what I told you?” he asked. “The week after we met?”

“How could I forget?” you replied. “It was such a daring declaration at the time.”

“Remind me what it was,” he said.

“Roger, I don’t think -”

“Say it.”

You took a deep breath. “You said, ‘One day, when I’m big and strong, this won’t happen anymore. I won’t let it.’”

“Now look at what’s happened,” he said slowly.

“It’s like I said, Rog, no one could have predicted -”

“Don’t argue, Y/N,” he cut across you. “Please.”

“I can’t let you keep blaming yourself,” you replied. “And remember, your dad didn’t hit anyone once you were big enough to hit back. But you can’t protect everyone.”

The doctor returned with a clipboard, which evidently contained his notes about Dominique.

“Mr. Taylor, would you like to hear about her injuries?” he asked. “We can give you our best guess as to what happened, but obviously, we can’t know for sure until she wakes up.”

“I don’t need to hear it, I’ve got the general idea,” Roger said. “Thank you, though.”

“Will you be staying the night?” Dr. Wesley asked.

“Yes,” Roger said, then he looked at you. “You should go home, Y/N. You can’t keep your mother waiting.”

“That’s true,” you agreed with a sigh.

You walked over to where he stood beside the bed. You took his hand.

“Good night, Roger,” you said.

You realized you had come to the end of the date - or not date, as it were. Only, this was not at all how you pictured the night ending. He looked at you and cleared his throat.

“Good night, Y/N,” he replied. “Um, would it be alright if we put things between us -”

“On hold?” you finished, and he nodded. “Of course. I understand.”

“Thanks,” he said. “Give your mum a kiss from me, yeah?”

“Will do,” you promised.

You kissed his cheek. Then you started toward the door, but on your way, you stopped and gave Dominique’s knee a pat.

“Get well soon, Dom,” you said. “We’re all here for you when you do.”

You left. You hated to leave Roger alone, especially now, but he seemed eager for the time to himself. Plus, you needed to get back to your mother. It was almost midnight now, and she was probably getting worried.

As soon as you came into your flat, you saw your mother sitting in your recliner, reading a book. It was one of your dad’s. You burst into tears and she looked up.

“Darling, what’s wrong?” she wondered, getting to her feet and setting the book aside. “Did something happen?”

“Something terrible happened, Mum,” you sobbed.

She took you into her arms. You felt like a little girl again. She shushed you and brought you over to the couch. You caught your breath and explained to her what had happened. She listened carefully.

“Oh, the poor dear,” she sighed when you finished, referring to Dominique. “Is there anything we can do for them?”

“I don’t know,” you said. “I mean, what is there to do? She hasn’t even regained consciousness. The whole thing is terrible.”

“Who’s watching the children?” your mother wondered.

“The nanny,” you said. “Which reminds me, I need to call her and tell her Roger’s staying out.”

“Well, do that, sweetheart,” she said. “But afterwards, let me make you a cup of tea and put you to bed, alright?”

“Please,” you replied, in desperate need of maternal affection.

Everything felt so out of control right now. Even your relationship with Roger.

The next day, your mother was leaving in the evening to head back home. She asked if you’d like her to stay, but you refused. You needed to get back to work. On your way to the train station, you stopped by the hospital to see Dominique.

Roger was still there. He clearly had not been home since he was still wearing the clothes he had on the previous evening. He looked more exhausted than you’d ever seen him. But when he saw your mother, he went straight to her and threw himself into his arms, letting out a long awaited sob. He sagged against her while she patted his back.

“Roger, dear, it’s alright,” she cooed. “Let it all out, my boy.”

He heaved out another cry and she held him tighter. It was choking you up to watch him succumb so deeply to his despair. Like you, he needed someone to tell him it was going to be okay. Like a parent.

“I remember when you were little, and I’d put you on my lap and sing to you,” your mother said fondly.

Roger half-chuckled, half-winced at that.

“It’s all going to be alright,” she said again, pulling away to cup his cheeks in her hands. She wiped the tears away with her thumbs. “There, now. No more tears. She mustn’t see you’ve been crying.”

He nodded and sniffled.

“Are you heading home?” he asked her.

“I am,” she said. “But if you need anything at all, love, you can always call.”

He nodded again. “Course. Thanks for stopping by.”

“I love you very much, dear,” she told him.

“I love you too, Viv,” he replied, with a small smile.

He kissed her on the cheek. Then he reached out for you. You stepped toward him and he pulled you close and pressed his lips to your forehead.

“Be careful going home,” he whispered.

“I will, Rog,” you promised.

It was a bitter parting. None of you had a dry eye as Roger squeezed your mother’s hand one last time. But she couldn’t linger. She had a train to catch.

It was much harder than you anticipated to say goodbye to her now. You felt like you and Roger were young again, in such need of parental guidance and comfort. But you were adults. You had to handle this on your own. Even so, you had each other.

On Monday morning, there was still no news of Dominique. You headed to work, grateful for something to occupy your mind. You knew you’d be busy after taking some time off.

Roger went home briefly Monday morning to shower and change, and then he went right back to the hospital. He already called Freddie and told him that he would not be in the studio for a while. He couldn’t bear the thought of leaving Dominique.

“Daddy, can we come?” Felix asked as Roger headed back out the door.

“I’m sorry, lovie, not just now,” Roger replied gently. “Mummy’s still not well.”

He told Felix that Dominique was sick. He couldn’t let the boy see his mother in that state, it would destroy him. Roger recalled seeing his own mother after strikes from his father and how deeply it upset him. So, Verity was working overtime and caring for them while Roger stayed by Dominique’s side.

As he returned to that post, a fresh coffee in hand, his mind finally landed on you. He missed you a great deal, but he could never ask you to just sit here and wait with him. He knew you had work. He just felt so achingly lonely. He needed the reassurance that Dom was going to be okay, because each time he thought about it too long, he reached the conclusion that she was going to die and he’d have to tell his children one day how their mother was brutally…

He shook his head to clear it. Once again, he thought of you. He thought of your hand holding his and the feel of your arms around him. He recalled the heat of your kisses and the way your forgiveness made him feel. It was a comfort to his breaking heart.

He sat with Dominique by himself until lunch. Then there was a light knock on the open door. He turned to see you standing in the frame, take away bags in hand.

“Have you eaten today?” you asked.

“No,” he said, as if realizing it all of a sudden.

“Good, ‘cause I brought a ton of food,” you joked.

He attempted a smile to no avail.

“Did your mum get off alright?” he asked.

“Yeah,” you said. “She called me when she got home. She said she misses us already and to tell you again how much she loves you.”

“That’s sweet,” he said.

You handed him a salad.

“Well, you know her,” you said. “No matter how old we get, we’ll always be her children.”

Roger’s stomach gurgled with the newfound hunger.

“She’d kill me for going this long without food,” he remarked.

“That’s right, so you better watch it,” you teased.

He sighed, neglecting the salad and looking once again at Dominique.

“I haven’t been a good husband to her,” he said.

“Nobody is a perfect spouse, Roger,” you said.

“I know,” he replied. “But...I cheated. That wasn’t something I ever thought I’d do once I settled down.”

“Well, no one wakes up one day and decides they’re going to cheat,” you said. “It’s something that happens out of...extenuating circumstances.”

“Spoken like a true attorney.”

“If you’ve got energy to joke, you’ve got energy to eat.”

He picked up his fork and shoveled a mouthful of greens between his lips.

“Don’t beat yourself up over mistakes,” you said. “Everyone makes them.”

“Not everyone,” he said after swallowing. “Your dad wasn’t like that.”

You stopped chewing for a moment and looked at him. You swallowed.

“Actually, my father had an affair once,” you told him.

He met your gaze, eyes wide. “Are you serious?”

You nodded. “Yeah. With his secretary. It lasted a few months and he cut it off to stay with Mum and me. He wasn’t in love with the woman or anything. It was just a lapse of judgement. It can happen to anyone.”

He looked back at the food in his lap. “Oddly enough, that does make me feel better.”

“Nobody expects perfection from you, Roger,” you said. “It’s enough that you’re trying.”

“Thanks, Y/N,” he said, taking your hand. “I was feeling...bad hurt.”

“We somehow manage to find each other during those moments, huh?” you said.

“I’m not complaining,” he replied. “You’re the one person I want most when I’m feeling that way.”

“The feeling is mutual,” you said.

You smiled at each other. Then, a delicate moan came from the bed. Roger’s eyes snapped to Dominique’s face. You followed suit. He let go of your hand and jumped to his feet, spilling the salad across the floor. Her eyes had just barely cracked open.

“Roger?” she croaked.

He took her hand - her left one so as not to pain her broken fingers on the right - and he gazed at her in awe.

“I’m here, love,” he said gently.

She offered a shaky smile.

“Thank goodness.”

WHEN OBI-WAN MARRIED SATINE

SUMMARY: Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Duchess of Mandalore decide to marry in secret. They meet in a secluded garden where a Force priestess conducts a private wedding.

Takes place immediately following the events in my fic The Secret Duke of Mandalore.

“Now,” the priestess spoke, “our hearts are prepared.” She took a step away from the couple and, using her cane, drew a line in the dust in front of Obi-Wan and Satine’s feet. “You have chosen not to make a public declaration. Only the Force will be your witness. This ceremony will unite your living energy; it will bind you through the Force for all time. Do you understand?”

——————–

AUTHOR NOTES:

This fic is brought to you by special request from an ask someone sent me a little while ago. They were inspired by the recent Obitine Wedding (watch James Arnold Taylor’s video of the special event here) that took place in Salt Lake and asked if I’d be willing to write my version of an Obitine wedding. I’ve always had this scene in my head ever since I first wrote The Secret Duke of Mandalore but I never planned on actually writing it down. Thanks to this ask, I’ve changed my mind.

I did a bunch of research and created my own version of a wedding. I referenced many cultures and customs, including ancient Celtic ceremonies, blood vows, oaths given by medieval knights, and Mandalorian vows / code of honor.

I know the Obitine wedding that took place in Salt Lake was a huge event. I have always imagined a tiny wedding for Obi-Wan and Satine.

A secret wedding :)

So, without further ado, here's my version of an Obitine wedding.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You might want to read my fic The Secret Duke of Mandalore before you read this. The wedding can stand alone, but it might be more meaningful for you if you read how they got engaged.

——————–

WHEN OBI-WAN MARRIED SATINE

They met in the garden at the same time the following evening, just as the sun came slanting through the low-hanging trees. Obi-Wan walked along the cobbled pathway, following it to the spot where he and Satine had arranged to meet with a Force priestess. The women were already waiting for him, the Duchess draped in a flowing burgundy cloak that trailed on the ground behind her. As he approached, Satine took the fabric and shifted it back over her shoulders revealing a white gown with a high lace neck and long ornate sleeves that ended in engraved silver vambraces.

Obi-Wan stepped forward and took her hands. “You look beautiful,” he said quietly, his chest growing tight with emotion as he realized how far they both had traveled, enduring a great many heartaches, to reach this moment in their lives.

“Thank you,” she said with a gentle smile. “You look very handsome.”

He glanced down at his usual Jedi attire. He hadn’t even removed his armor. “I’m sorry my clothes aren’t as fine as yours.”

“You’re perfect just as you are,” she said, giving his fingers a squeeze.

“Are we ready?” the priestess, an older woman with kind eyes, asked as she moved closer.

The Jedi and the Duchess nodded.

“Very well.” The priestess took their intertwined hands and cupped them in her own. “Let us begin with silence.”

Obi-Wan felt the Force come alive around him as he focused. He watched the sunlight play across Satine’s face. He felt the lovely evening breeze tousle his hair. He had peace in his heart for the first time in months. He concentrated on every detail, committing each sensation to memory; he never wanted to forget this moment, he never wanted to forget how Satine looked when she became his wife.

The two nodded.

“In that case, Duchess, I ask that you please pledge your oath.”

Satine took a deep breath then looked into Obi-Wan’s eyes with unwavering conviction. She never thought she would need Mandalorian wedding vows; she had grown used to the idea that she would be a Duchess and never a wife, especially if she was forbidden from marrying the man she loved most. But as she gave her promise, she felt a deep connection with her people and her history. “Strength, honor, love, and loyalty I pledge to you until death. We are one whether we are together or apart.”

The priestess turned to Kenobi. “And you, Master Jedi, please pledge your oath.”

Obi-Wan had been at a loss when he first tried to come up with his vow. The Order forbid attachment and did not approve of marriage, therefore to pledge himself to Satine as a Jedi seemed wrong. He finally found comfort when he thought of Qui-Gon and how his Master had always held the Force in higher regard than the Code. Qui-Gon’s wisdom had once again shown Obi-Wan the way. He tightened his grip on Satine’s fingers. “All that I am is yours. My honor and my heart I place in your hands. In the name of the Force, I pledge my protection, my compassion, and my love to you for all time.”

“Master Kenobi,” the priestess said, “are you willing to take the traditional Mandalorian Blood Oath?”

“Yes,” he replied without hesitation.

The priestess pulled a small dagger from a sheath on her hip as Satine helped Obi-Wan remove his gloves. Then both Jedi and Duchess held out their right hands palm up. The priestess scraped the blade across their skin, drawing a thin line of blood. Obi-Wan took Satine’s hand in his and pressed their bleeding palms together as the priestess wrapped a Mandalorian rushnyk around them, tying the fabric in a firm knot.

Once again cupping their hands in hers, the priestess spoke. “In the name of the Force that resides within us all, by the life that courses within Obi-Wan’s blood and the love that resides within his soul, does he take you Satine to his hand, his heart, and his spirit, to be his wife. To desire you and be desired by you without shame, for shame cannot exist in the purity of love. Obi-Wan, do you promise to love Satine wholly and completely without restraint, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in poverty, in life and beyond, where you shall meet, remember, and love again? Do you promise to respect Satine, her beliefs, her people, and her ways as you respect yourself?”

“I do.”

“In the name of the Force that resides within us all, by the life that courses within Satine’s blood and the love that resides within her soul, does she take you Obi-Wan to her hand, her heart, and her spirit, to be her husband. To desire you and be desired by you without shame, for shame cannot exist in the purity of love. Satine, do you promise to love Obi-Wan wholly and completely without restraint, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in poverty, in life and beyond, where you shall meet, remember, and love again? Do you promise to respect Obi-Wan, his beliefs, his people, and his ways as you respect yourself?”

“I do.”

The priestess unwrapped their hands and carefully folded up the rushnyk. “Do you have tokens to exchange?”

“Yes,” Satine said. She pulled a long chain from around her neck, and there at the end dangled her personal crest. “I give you this token as a sign of my love, so that I will reside near your heart. Wear it always.” Obi-Wan bowed so Satine could slide the chain over his head. She smoothed it down his tunic until the pendant lay perfectly in line with his heart.

He put his hand over hers for a moment, holding the pendant in place beneath their palms. “I will never be without it,” he promised.

“Master Kenobi, do you have a token for the Duchess?”

He pulled something from a pouch on his belt and held it up. A tiny green crystal glowed, wrapped in a simple metal setting hanging from a leather cord. “This kyber crystal belonged to Qui-Gon, then belonged to me after he died. It will protect you and connect you to the Force; I hope it will help you feel closer to me when I am far away.”

Tears welled up in Satine’s eyes at the mention of the Jedi Master she had grown to love all those years ago when she was a girl. “I wish he was here now,” she whispered as Obi-Wan slid the cord over her head.

“He is,” Obi-Wan said as he caressed her cheek with his thumb.

Understanding him, Satine touched a finger to Kenobi’s heart. “Always.”

They turned back to the priestess. “Now you are bound one to the other with a tie not easily broken,” she said. “Grow in wisdom and love. May your marriage be strong, may your love last in this life and beyond.” She reached out and, once again taking the couples’ hands in hers, gently pulled them forward, forcing them to step over the line she had drawn in the dust. “Your first step into a new world.” The priestess used her cane to scrape away the line she had drawn, completely erasing it. “You cannot step back. From this moment on you must move forward, together.” She smiled. “You are now husband and wife.”

Obi-Wan was beaming as he looked down at Satine. She gave a little croak as a tear escaped her lashes. He pulled her close, brushing the back of his fingers up her cheek. “Are these happy tears?” he asked quietly, his voice low and warm. She nodded, leaning into his touch. He hooked a finger under her chin and gently lifted her lips to his. He kissed her slowly, savoring his first embrace with his wife.

When they pulled apart they were both smiling, barely able to hold back their joyful tears. She cupped his face in her hands and he rested his forehead against hers. “I love you,” he whispered.

“And I love you,” she replied before kissing him again.

END NOTES

Just FYI, the Mandalorian blood oath is something I completely made up. If there is such a thing in canon or legends, I have no idea :)

For anyone who is interested, Satine's vow is based on the Mandalorian Code. Obi-Wan's vow is based on an oath ancient knights would give when they received knighthood within their Order.

Hello, my name is Rachel Hartley, also known as Princess of The Rose City, also known as Black Rose Rachel, also known as Rachel. and as Ray by the ones who who know me best. I am an actor, singer, and model. I started my business literally the week before the COVID-19 stay at home order began. I was to begin my journey of creativity, but I did not know what that would entail due to the virus. Then the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery happened and the walls of the world started to close in on me. There was no way I could feel anything, and my hope for anything flew out the window along with the spirits of so many Black people who were not only killed at the hands of the virus, but also at the hands of a ruthless system that we live in.

I began to wake up late in the day, not knowing what would come of all of this. Not knowing if I would survive anything of this world as a Black woman. I thought I had finally figured it out, and ended up feeling wrong, insecure, and failure once again.

Those were lies I told myself, due to the fact that my insecurities were getting the best of me. I had to ask myself who did I feel I had to prove myself to when creating this business? Why did I feel the need to put myself down due to something that was so unprecedented? I felt as though the world was continuing to play a sick joke on Black people, especially in Portland where police brutality became even more present during the rightful protests that occurred.

I never thought the day would come where I would have created my own entertainment company in Portland, and I would have never known the strength I would need to gain in order to stay confident even though my self-esteem was snatched once again by the system.

The faith, strength, and determination it takes to be a Black person I believe from my own experience, is magical. To constantly pick up the pieces and find our way back home in self-love is difficult, and necessary to survive. Even though our own community has a need for discussions regarding the historical issues that we go through, Black women have been standing strong, are standing strong, and will continue to stand strong despite the continuous odds we are forced to face. As a proud Black woman, I have chosen to face these odds, along with so many other Black women, and I am standing strong.

I am choosing today to not let my insecurities get the best of me, and I am choosing to take action over myself, my brand, and my new business as the budding owner of Black Rose Entertainment LLC. This company is in honor of the Black people who came before me, and so that I can be a representative for young Black women since far too often the entertainment industry shuns and silences us. I know for a fact because I have attempted to gain traction in the industry here and have fallen flat. These are lessons I take with me every day and are the foundation of the positive prayers and wishes I send to Black women like me. Black women who dream, and Black women who are passionate about what they believe in.

I am honored and proud to be a part of this new journey of Black-owned businesses in the day and age of COVID-19. I do hope that my business can create a positive impact in my hometown of NE Portland, OR, and beyond.

Visit my website for music, beauty videos, and to watch the first episode of my web series!

I am looking for monthly subscribers to get updates on my life as an artist, new beauty tip videos for people with sensitive skin like myself, and music to ultimately share my creative process with you. Things like this make me so nervous even though I love to perform! So please send love, monthly support through Patreon by creating an account, and encouragement!

I am also looking for more followers on my Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube! You can find my social media through my business website below.

Thank you!

Wilkes reacts to COVID-19

From Record Staff Reports

With schools called off statewide in North Carolina for at least two weeks, Wilkes County Schools will offer breakfasts and lunches for children ages 1 through 18.

The meals started being offered on Tuesday, March 17. Meals may be picked up at the school site in the car line with the exception being Wilkes Early College High School, which is on the campus of Wilkes Community College.

Breakfasts will be served from 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. and lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

This information was released Monday afternoon following a minimal two-week school cancellations which was announced over the weekend.

On Tuesday The Governor closed dinning rooms in restaurants limiting food services to only take out and deliver. He assured that grocery stores would remain open, but urged citizens not to hoard and to leave items for people who can’t afford to stockpile food and other commodities.

Wilkes County has suddenly become a different world.

If you’ve been to the grocery store recently, you’ve bound to have noticed the toilet paper section.

It’s basically empty.

Why?

Folks across Wilkes, the state and the country are hoarding such items including hand sanitizers and bottled water it seems in case there is a mass mandated quarantine to halt or slow the spread of COVID-19.

But…toilet paper?

The New York Times quoted Health Secretary Alex M. Azar II as saying, “Toilet paper is not an effective way to prevent getting the coronavirus, but they’re selling out.”

Although there may be humor in that statement, local, state and national officials are not taking the threat of the spread of COVID-19 lightly.

And as of Sunday afternoon, the virus was knocking at Wilkes’ door with one confirmed case in Watauga County and possible cases under investigation in Yadkin County.

Although there have been talk of COVID-19 already being in Wilkes, no such report had been substantiated.

The Tribune in Elkin reported that there are two persons under investigation who have been tested for the corona virus, or COVID-19 as of Friday at 12:30 p.m. in Yadkin County. These individuals have been informed about the virus and how it is spread and are self-monitoring while waiting test results, according to a news release from Yadkin County Human Services Agency.

WBTV, a Charlotte-based television station, reported that a Boone-based staff member of the international relief charity Samaritan’s Purse tested positive for the coronavirus shortly after returning from an overseas trip.

According to the company, the employee returned nine days ago from countries “considered to be at lower risk at the time of travel.”

The staff member didn’t return to work and self-quarantined upon their return home. They were tested at their home by the Watauga County Health Department.

“We are working in full cooperation with the local health department in identifying other staff who may have been in contact with the employee who has tested positive, and though we can’t know for sure whether their contact was prior to or after the virus was contracted, each of these employees has also self-quarantined,” the organization said. The organization said it is reducing staff on its Boone headquarters and Wilkes campus effective immediately and moving many employees to work-from-home status, the WBTV report stated.

In Wilkes, and across North Carolina, schools are cancelled, MerleFest has been cancelled as well as many church services and most any other event where people usually gather in significant numbers.

As of Tuesday there have been 32 confirmed cases reported statewide. The counties which reported confirmed cases are: 14 in Wake County; four in Mecklenburg; two apiece in Hartnett, Johnston and Forsyth counties; and one apiece in Durham, Brunswick, Craven, Chatham, Cabarrus, Onslow, Wayne, Brunswick, Craven, and Watauga counties

***

According to the website for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention you should call your doctor if you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms, such as cough or difficulty breathing.

Watch for symptoms.

Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.

The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.*

· Fever

· Cough

· Shortness of breath

*This is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses.

If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 get medical attention immediately. Emergency warning signs include*:

· Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

· Persistent pain or pressure in the chest

· New confusion or inability to arouse

· Bluish lips or face

*This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.

***

Record Editor Jerry Lankford asked some of his Facebook friends their thoughts on the virus. Here’s what they said:

Ashley Osborne Jones: “I’m not afraid. I am not stocking up on anything. I don’t live in fear. I have faith that I will be OK. If not I have already on hand two weeks worth of food and supplies.”

Melissa Triplett: “I’m not afraid. ‘Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:103.’”

Rebecca Davis: “I could stand to shed some pounds. So with what food we have it will make do. We have growing grandchildren to feed in the home. They love to eat cereal. So milk, cereal, bread, peanut butter, jelly and eggs.”

Leslie Michelle Rivera-Cruz: “Not afraid at all. I’m only afraid of the consequences of fear.”

William M. Harden: “I’m not afraid but it’s because I have done my research on it. At the same time I’m not recklessly acting like it’s no big deal. I’m a young healthy man, but not everyone has my immune system. Not afraid of catching it (is very likely at some point) but am concerned for the elderly/youth/immune compromised that will have a harder time fighting it off. Stay educated and don’t panic you guys, it will only make the situation worse.”

Kellene Wells Bock: “I have a healthy respect for the virus but I’m not afraid. I think the steps being taken now should keep it to manageable status in the U.S. Not stocking up on anything because I don’t foresee steps taken in foreign countries being necessary in the U.S. (if people will just be smart) so we should be able to get what we need, once shelves get restocked.”

Anne Privette Johnson: “As an elderly woman with underlying health concerns Mom plans to stick close to the house. I made sure her prescriptions were filled and we have all her OTC meds. We keep toilet paper and paper towels on hand. I checked the pantry and inventoried cleaning supplies. We were in pretty good shape, so I picked up just a few things we needed. With schools closed I will be here more. I bought some breakfast items and sandwich fixings. I guess I didn’t stock up - just the normal grocery shopping. Prayers for everyone.”

Andy Rhodes: “I’m more afraid of main stream media hype than Covid19. Get your info from the CDC, not the nightly news frenzy of doom and gloom. Will I get Covid19, probably so, I am a nurse in a health care setting, am I worried? A little, but I’m confident all will be OK.”

Alayna Taylor Harden: “I’m far more bothered by/afraid of the hysteria than the actual virus. I know it’s a threat to certain people in our communities (and I say this as someone who has a compromised immune system and small kids), but this is far beyond reasonable precautions. The fact that sheer panic has been manufactured by the media is a very scary thing on its own.”

Lisa De Maio Brewer: “This is a very concerning virus. We've never seen anything like this in our lifetime. If we do not take it seriously, we will face the sad consequences. Seek wisdom!”

Terrie Byrd: “Yes I'm self quarantined due to my immune system not functioning properly. I'm both immune deficient and immune compromised. What I have in terms of antibodies fighting germs comes from 1,000 to 1,500 people in the form of plasma which I need to live. This is serious folks. Even with infusions, we are not protected from COVID 19. Please take care of yourself and follow the CDC guidelines. It's not a joke. It's real and it's here. Stay ahead of the curve. God bless us all. I'm in no way panicking, just being vigilant and exercising caution.”

Rita Roman: “I've been preparing for this for years and years.... food and water...oops forgot about the toilet paper. I'm staying motivated and happy. P.S. Just got off a cruise last Sunday. Everyone is staying in touch via Facebook. No one is sick. Living my life!!!”

Cheryl Shumate: “Well I’m 63 yrs old and yes I’m taking this very seriously. I have diabetes and an immune deficiency disorder along with several other problems. I’m staying in away from people as much as I can. I’m not one that bought 100 rolls of TP but I would like to have gotten a bottle of hand sanitizer for when I am out. Thinking of all the elderly we have in our county. I do pray daily for our nation and watch CDC updates.”

Jill Minton Woodie: “I remember when I was a young girl hearing a preacher talking about a pandemic that would affect the entire World and there would be thousands of people die from it. I really hadn’t thought of this message until this pandemic. This is very serious and I’m afraid it is going to get a lot worse. It is no joking matter. We are dealing with a virus that the mortality rate is 10 times worse than the flu, no medicine or vaccine. Also, a person can have the virus and show no symptoms and that is why we need to stay home. The United States don’t have enough ventilators to handle this crisis. We all have got to work together and help stop the spread of this virus. People if at all possible stay home and use common sense that the LORD gave you. GOD HELP US.”

So far, there have been no reports of business closures in Wilkes due to the virus.

Tyson Foods has released its virus-related policy:

The company announced that it is only allowing visitors considered essential into its offices and facilities. The determination of who is essential will be made by Enterprise Leadership Team (ELT) members.

Tyson Foods also announced changes impacting hourly employees, including:

• relaxing attendance policies in processing plants by eliminating punitive effect for missing work due to illness;

• waiving the five-consecutive day waiting period for short term disability benefits;

• waiving the co-pay, co-insurance and deductible for doctor visits for COVID-19 testing as well as eliminating pre-approval or preauthorization steps;

• waiving co-pays for use of telemedicine;

• relaxing refill limits for 30 day prescriptions of maintenance medication.

Many corporate Tyson employees will work remotely through March 27.

Management will determine which business personnel will be asked to continue working in the corporate offices while others operate from home.

Late last month, Tyson Foods suspended all international business travel on commercial carriers. Effective immediately, all U.S. commercial business travel has also been suspended. Exceptions must be approved by an (ELT) member.

The company encouraged Tyson personnel to avoid personal travel via cruise ships, airplanes and other common carriers.

“Depending on where you travel, you may be subject to self-quarantine for 14 days when you return. You should consider this and your ability to work remotely before traveling.”

The CDC says “currently there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food.”

In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported, “There is no evidence at this time to suggest that the Coronavirus is a foodborne pathogen.”

The USDA also said, “We are not aware of any reports at this time of human illnesses that suggest COVID-19 can be transmitted by food or food packaging.”

Tyson has an internal coronavirus page with access to videos and information about the virus, as well as the company’s efforts to address it.

Schools Closed

Wilkes County Schools will be closed for at least two weeks.

This comes as a directive from N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper who ordered all K-12 public schools in North Carolina to close for a minimum of two weeks in response to COVID-19. The executive order also bans gatherings of more than 100 people.

Cooper stated: “We do not have the luxury of a wait-and-see approach. These are hard decisions but they are necessary so we can learn more about the virus,” Cooper said. “We do not want any regrets in the rearview mirror, and I am guided by one objective – doing what we must to keep people from getting sick and to make sure that those who do can get excellent care.”

Wilkes County School Superintendent Mark Byrd in a recorded message sent out Sunday.

Byrd stated, “Monday, March 16 will be a required teacher workday. Bus drivers, teacher assistants and child nutrition workers should not report to work until you have further information.

“Parents will be contacted early this week by your child’s school with information about how you can help your child focus on learning during this two-week window. Our website and social media will be updated with information about what students can do to obtain meal service during this closure, beginning Tuesday, March 17.”

Wilkes Community College

All classes on all campuses of Wilkes Community College have been cancelled for a week.

The college website states: Wilkes Community College is adjusting its class schedule in accordance with guidance from state and local officials to proactively limit the spread of COVID-19.WCC will cancel all classes (Curriculum, Workforce Development, Career and College Readiness) for the week of March 16-22, 2020.

MerleFest, a four-day Americana music festival was set to run from Thursday, April 23, to Sunday, April 26, on the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro. The event draws upwards to 80,000 participants from all over the country and the world each year and pumps million of dollars into the local economy and is WCC biggest fundraiser.

The Walker Center, also on the college campus, cancelled its Haggard Brothers with Special Guest Emi Sunshine concert that was scheduled for Friday, March 13. Center officials says they’re going to try to reschedule the event.

YMCA

Starting Monday and running through at least March 29, Wilkes Family YMCA in Wilkesboro and all other facilities of the YMCA are closed due to the coronavirus.

It was stated in a press release: “After much thoughtful consideration for the health of our members, staff and community as a whole, the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina will temporarily close all facilities. As we navigate these challenges ahead, please know that we never make a decision to close Y facilities in haste.”

N.C. Courts

Chief Justice Beasley Announces Judicial Branch Response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus)Effective Monday, March 16, superior court and district court proceedings will be rescheduled for at least 30 days, with some exceptions.

In an order entered today (Friday, March 13), the Chief Justice has directed that local courts postpone most cases in district and superior court for at least 30 days. While the work of the courts must continue and courthouses remain open, the first priority of the court system must be the health and safety of the public and of the employees who serve them.

“We must be proactive in taking steps to prioritize the health and safety of our fellow North Carolinians while also maintaining the integrity of our judicial system,” said Chief Justice Beasley. “Today’s order will allow us to drastically reduce the exposure caused by crowded sessions of court, which often bring hundreds of people at a time into our courthouses.”

Although the superior courts and district courts remain open, effective Monday, March 16, superior court and district court proceedings will be rescheduled for at least 30 days, with some exceptions. These exceptions include (see more in the Supreme Court Order)

the proceeding will be conducted remotely;

the proceeding is necessary to preserve the right to due process of law (e.g. a first appearance or bond hearing, the appointment of counsel for an indigent defendant, a probation hearing, a probable cause hearing, etc.);

the proceeding is for the purpose of obtaining emergency relief (e.g. a domestic violence protection order, temporary restraining order, juvenile custody order, judicial consent to juvenile medical treatment order, civil commitment order, etc.); or the senior resident superior court judge, chief business court judge, or chief district court judge determines that the proceeding can be conducted under conditions that protect the health and safety of all participants.

This emergency directive does not apply to any proceeding in which a jury has already been empaneled or to any grand juries already empaneled. It also does not prohibit a judge or other judicial officer from exercising any in chambers or ex parte jurisdiction conferred by law upon that judge or judicial officer, as provided by law.

Additionally, the superior courts and district courts are encouraged to liberally grant additional accommodations to parties, witnesses, attorneys, and others with business before the courts who are at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

All counties will post a notice at all court facilities directing any person who has likely been exposed to COVID-19 to not enter the courthouse. Any person who has likely been exposed and has business before the courts should contact the clerk of superior court’s office by telephone or other remote means for further instruction.

As the courts work to postpone thousands of cases, court officials will notify parties and their attorneys of new hearing and trial dates.

The Judicial Branch will be providing continuous updated information and answers to frequently asked questions on our website, NCcourts.gov. The public is encouraged to visit NCcourts.gov as a first resort to determine if a question can be answered without calling the local courthouse.

Sports and Field Trips

Also on Thursday, March 12, Wilkes County Schools released the following announcement:

“Effective March 12. 2020, Wilkes County Schools will suspend all field trips and will reevaluate this in early April. Wilkes County Schools will follow the recommendation of the NCHSAA (North Carolina High School Athletic Association)

and suspend the Spring Sports Season at the conclusion of tonight’s games (Thursday, March 12, 2020). This decision impacts practices as well as scheduled games for both middle and high schools.

Per the Governor’s recommendation, all gatherings of more than 100 people should be postponed. The governor did not recommend school closings at this time.

Again, we appreciate your understanding as we make decisions to ensure the safety of our students and our staff.”

Other cancellations

VFW: The Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans day, scheduled for Saturday, March 28, at VFW Post 1142 in North Wilkesboro, has been cancelled due to health concerns.

The post also cancelled its popular Saturday night dances until further notice.

The Veterans Coffee Call, that has been held the second Tuesday of each month, has been cancelled until further notice.

Shinetopia, a benefit concert, cook-off and bike show scheduled April 18 in North Wilkesboro has been cancelled.

But back to the hoarding hysteria

Apparently it has become somewhat out of hand.

One local business manager was heard saying that law enforcement had to be on hand as guards when trucks hauling restock items arrive at their store, and added that thefts of items were becoming more commonplace.

Another manager told about how some were taking advantage of the situation and buying up the most sought after goods and attempting to pirate them on the internet. They were allegedly caught and stopped.

According to one internet report a bottle of hand sanitizer bought for $8 at a drug store sold the same day for $138 on a website.

And there are cases of downright rudeness.

“Some people act like it’s my own personal fault that we’re out of certain items,” another manager said.

Thoughts on the “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” English dub. “Stardust Crusaders” episode one.

so yeah I wanted to create a distinction here given that the anime did the same thing. and we only have three episodes of this thing released to us. I have read that this was a test dub, but I have also read that they dubbed all of it and we just have not had it released. I know as recently as last month episode 26 of BT was aired in America so generally speaking Viz has been weird with how they’re handling this series. I know they announced special 30th anniversary Blu-Ray sets in Japan and its possible US audiences will receive something similar and that will give us the rest of the SDC dub. I know most fans don’t care about the English dubs, but personally I would like to watch it all. I just wish Viz wasn’t being so weird because these episodes were done in 2014 and all we have is three.

anyway I’m gonna try and squeeze out as much as I can from these episodes

the first person who speaks is one of the fishermen

I always did like the art style shift for SDC, it feels like they took the manga style from this arc when it was at its best (because if you look back on the earlier chapters, especially with Jotaro’s look, its clear Araki was working things out) and just put it in anime form

“hold on, wait. this is bizarre” that should be the tagline

I would make a Holy Diver reference right now, but everyone already beat me to it

Joe-turro Kujo

okay so when I first read the manga I said his name as Joe-tah-ro which I realize now is incorrect, but there’s something about how these people say it that still feels off

“seventeen years old 195cm tall” he’s 6′3. mommy’s large prince.

yeah that throw away line about his dad being a jazz musician on tour is all we ever learn of Sadao, like damn we knew more about Jolyne’s mother and Araki never gave her a name

Holy is voiced by Julie Ann Taylor who is Miss Haruna in the new Sailor Moon dub

also yeah I have seen her name written as Holy and Holly, I kinda prefer Holly but I am aware it should be Holy

I like how they explained why he’s called Jojo even though the Japanese audience this was made for would understand its because he’s Kujo Jotaro (meanwhile Josuke is called Jojo due to how his name can be read in Japanese and its never explained so you need to check Jojo wiki for that info)

I like how Holy is assuming Jotaro killed people, like damn woman no one said that

“by the way ma’am, I have to tell you your Japanese is really quite good” I’m sure it is

yeah I knew that line was gonna feel weird, but its funny they kept it anyway

the way Holy says Jotaro’s name is basically how I say it now, I only point it out because the way the prison guards said it still feels weird

BABY JOTARO

because if they didn’t show me he was once a child I would have never believed them

“nothing’s as good as your cooking Mom” why is this line always funny to me?

also Jotaro’s played by Matthew Mercer who was Demande in Sailor Moon, Levi in AOT, Law in OP, McCree in Overwatch, and Leon in Resident Evil

“SHUT UP! GET OUT OF MY FACE YOU BITCH!” ladies and gentlemen, the most iconic character of the entire series

as if this post isn’t long enough, I may as well say my general thoughts on Jotaro. I like him, but not as much as everyone else. he falls pretty low on my list when I rate my favorite Jojos and by the time we got to VA I was pretty sick of him. I do like him though, I swear his fans are so protective of him in a way that doesn’t feel necessary. I spoke to another blogger about him years ago and gave a very mild critique (I think I basically said I think him showing up in VA was unnecessary and it annoyed me) and they replied by saying “please don’t hate Jotaro”. I don’t! I bought his Medicos figure for crying out loud.

Jotaro in several ways is the perfect cool strong silent protagonist in shonen. in the nice hardcover copies of SDC Araki says Jotaro is what he considers his ideal hero as he feels heroes should carry some kind of weight and be a loner that doesn’t ask for glory. however I do think he goes against that trope in ways that are subtle but noticeable. he enjoys the companionship of his friends, he has a sense of humor, I would describe him as comically serious. the reason I don’t love him like everyone else ultimately is because he just isn’t my type.

also this is random but he was inspired by Clint Eastwood, I just wanted to say that

“seems I’ve been possessed by an evil spirit” that’s just your Stand you ignorant child

wait...how was Star Platinum able to bring him that stuff? its not like his Stand can just go to the corner store for him

“what the hell!? he’s reading Shonen Jump while listening to a radio!” the fiend!

mmmm the music

uuuuuhhhh.....at the end of episode 26 old Joseph still seemed to have an English accent but now he’s American?

Avdol!

oh no! Jotaro has been playing with toy cars and reading books! books you guys!

Holy tells Jotaro that’s his grandpa like he’s never met him

can we just appreciate how Extra Jotaro actually is?

sigh...so Avdol is being voiced by an actor named Chris Tergliafera who is Silva Zoldyck in HXH and Tanktop Tiger in OPM and he is white

they gave you a black man named Muhammad and you cast a white guy

its not like black voice actors don’t exist or anything, you hired one to play Esidisi

BEHOLD! SPICY CHICKEN!

I love this music

Staaaaar Platinuuuuum

can I just say I love that fandom started calling it Star Plat? its fun to say

HHHHHMMMM Star Platinum sounds suspiciously not like Matthew Mercer! yeah I still think its beyond stupid that they hired Patrick Seitz to voice Star Plat. the Stand is an extension of its user, its part of them so yes it should be voiced by the person playing the user. Daisuke Ono did both no problem, if they felt Matthew couldn’t ora ora properly then maybe they should have cast someone else.

also this makes the “same type of Stand” thing weirder given Patrick is Dio

so at least I can say my worries over them giving Avdol a fake African sounding accent were for nothing, that would have been a horrible idea

“the power Avdol has is exactly the same as your’s” really? point me to the scene where Star Plat could create fire

Jotaro calls his mom a bitch, the mom he went on a suicide mission to fight a hyper sexual vampire in Egypt to save. what a moron.

Araki has said he originally intended for the series to be a trilogy and it does show in SDC, but I’m happy it continued on afterwards

my favorite character gets like the worst Stand in the series, go figure

“this is my Stand! it can reveal far away visions and place them on film! the only downside is I have to bust a 30,000 yen camera every time I use it!” wow that must be like ten dollars

“Jotaro, Holy, have either of you ever taken the time to look carefully at the back of your necks?”

ah! Lisa Lisa reference! Araki never confirmed her death, so I’d like to think she kept on living and never aging so Josuke got to meet his hot young grandma

so nice of Dio to pose for Joseph’s photography

and there he is, the Big D himself, laying around shirtless in the dark as he should be

tune in next time for cherry boy and hot mama

All politics is a matter of working hard without reward, or with a living wage for a time, in the hope of booty later. A man can be a Fascist or a Communist and if his outfit gets in he can get to be an ambassador or have a million copies of his books printed by the Government or any of the other rewards the boys dream about. – Ernest Hemingway • Nowadays, it’s good to eat the booty like groceries, but back then, going down on a woman was sort of “Ew.” – Jensen Carp • One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander’s last meal. – Stephen King • Other people write about the bling and the booty. I write about the pus and the gnats. To me, that’s beautiful. – Vic Chesnutt • Party politics in modern democratic society means pandering to a wide variety of different groups and sympathizing with their often quite base motives, such as revenge, power, booty, and spoils, to maintain the necessary level of support. – Randal Marlin • People love their animals so much so that they put little clothes on them and necklaces and booties and things like that. And if you love your animal, then you should feed them something that’s not dangerous for them. There’s a lot of poisonous stuff that they’re putting in a lot of that food, those by-products. – Ellen DeGeneres • Pop stars are sending the message that their sexuality is the strongest thing they have to offer, and that’s confusing and misleading to girls and women, especially since there’s not enough of a counterbalance from those who rely on their other assets, like their music. Also, with the new obsession with all things “booty,” it’s important that women – and it’s often women of color – aren’t turned into mere caricatures. Right now it’s: “Bend over.” That’s all people want to see. That’s crazy. It’s so far from where we should be. – Santigold • Regardless of its purpose, the humpback-whale song is the most complex piece of nonhuman composition on earth. Whether it’s art, prayer, or booty call, the humpback song is an amazing thing to experience firsthand, and I suspect that even once the science of it is put to bed, it will remain, as long as they sing, magic. – Christopher Moore • She had a big ole booty, I was doing my duty. – LL Cool J • Socrates said, the unexamined life is not worth living. My dad said, Booty – mmm mmm. – Christopher Titus • Someone should make a Kickstarter to get Taylor Swift a booty. – Diplo • Soul ties. The thing that can make you hear an old-school slow jam and think of somebody you haven’t seen in years. Soul ties. The thing that makes old people who’ve been together for years finish each other’s sentences. Don’t you wish mama had told you when you were young that, when you lie with someone, you lie not just with her body but also with her soul? And whatever condition the other person’s soul is in, you are guaranteed to take a piece with you—whether you want to or not. Instead of being amazed at her booty, you should have focused on her mind. – Kirk Franklin • The Americans may think they have ‘liberated’ Baghdad but the tens of thousands of thieves – they came in families and cruised the city in trucks and cars searching for booty – seem to have a different idea what liberation means. – Robert Fisk • The art of using troops is this: ……When ten to the enemy’s one, surround him; ……When five times his strength, attack him; ……If double his strength, divide him; ……If equally matched you may engage him; ……If weaker numerically, be capable of withdrawing; ……And if in all respects unequal, be capable of eluding him, ……….for a small force is but booty for one more powerful. – Sun Tzu • The majority of the so-called great powers have long been exploiting and enslaving a whole series of small and weak peoples. And the imperialist war is nothing other than a war for the division and redivision of this kind of booty. – Vladimir Lenin • We be sticking pill up girl’s booty, too! – Lil Boosie • What is it with this American booty culture? It seems to me to be a form of obsession. – Pippa Middleton • What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. You hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. It’s a lot of: out at the club. Had drinks. Patrón. Big booties. It’s this regurgitated idea of living in this, I don’t know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and Patrón. And so perspective, perspective, perspective is what I’m an advocate of. – Miguel • When I discovered Gil Scott-Heron, I discovered a musical hero, a man who spoke baritone truth to power over jazzy funk at a time when funky music was primarily about shake, shake, shaking your booty. – Will Hermes • Why can’t a heterosexual guy tell a heterosexual guy / That he thinks his booty is fly? – Jemaine Clement • You can call me gay or a tutti-frutti But I won’t touch it until I know whose booty – Erick Sermon • You have a responsibility to your work, to your choices. Once you get to a certain level of quality and commitment, you don’t want to go back and make Booty Call 7. – Jamie Foxx • You know me. It’s my duty to please that booty. – Samuel L. Jackson

Funk is going to be involved in it. – George Clinton • If you take a needle and stick her in the booty and take a needle and stick me in the booty, we’re both going to say ouch. – Shaquille O’Neal • I’m Cuban, so I like a bit of curve. I just want my booty to have a little lift! – Odette Annable • Im going to be shaking my booty when Im 55. – Natalie Merchant • I’m not a corny-ass booty freak! I’m the greatest musician of all-time. – Kanye West • It is when Pirates count their booty that they become mere thieves. – William Bolitho • It’s about giving the people what they want. So many people have told me that they’ve made love to my records so what I’ve delivered this time is an album about sex. Pretty much every song has that theme. Straight no chasers, it’s booty music! – Tyrese Gibson • It’s frustrating me – that booty is gonna sag at some point. And if you allow enough people to come inside your physical space, they leave traces. – Jill Scott • It’s kind of cool—and it makes me feel like a badass. I get more girls than my boyfriend. They always tweet me about my booty. – Naya Rivera • Ive always had a booty even when I was a baby, and when I was in high school and was skinny, I still had the booty. In Hollywoods eyes, the perfect women has to be a stick figure, tall, blonde hair, with big boobs. – Coco Austin • Just broke up with somebody. Well, it wasn’t really a break up, it was a booty call I might have took too serious. – J. B. Smoove

Taylor Swift Vs Taylor Swift

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

Taylor Swift Address Sealed VS Taylor Swift Big Machine records 1219 16th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37212 COMPLAINT PLAINTIFF, Taylor Swift, comes this day, Novemeber 3rd, pro se, and for the reasons and causes for this Complaint, states as follows: COUNT I, II, III IV VII VI: Criminal Harassment, Cyber Harassment, Intentional Emotional Distress, Conspiracy, Fraud, Cyber Crime, Information Warfare (False) 1. Plaintiff, Taylor Swift, had a temporary lag in mental state back in 2014 which lasted a very brief amount of time in which she temporarily opened a tumblr talking about celebrities. I did not at any time talk to a celebrity via any platform. I merely mentioned their CELEBRITY in passing like a billion other people have done. ANY CELEBRITY that is aware of my presence should honestly kill them kill themselves. I am a nobody. People of that status should not know I exist. And it speaks volumes of MY character that It took a health scare or something out of the ordinary to mention these celebrities at all. I respect everyone but these are two worlds that should not collide for obvious reasons. 2. To be quite honest Taylor Swift was not mentioned AT ALL Selena Gomez was mentioned very briefly. I don’t get into CELEBRITIES at all beyond nice song. Me being temporarily out of character caused it to appear like I give a fuck about any of their lives. I don’t. But maybe it was retaliation on her behalf. The only reason ANY of their names came up was because some of their songs highlights event romantic dates between me and a ex love interest during a bad time. I don’t get into celebrities life Im near thirty what do I look like? 3. I did highlight my birthday was in MAY and me being temporarily in a lag of mental state I attached myself to Justin Timberlake’s Mirror’s video. In which he put his hand against the glass. Something Taylor Swift has mimicked in her Ready For It Video. The mental lag was very temporary but Taylor is the only celebrity unwilling to let It go and it lasted VERY briefly and SHE WAS NOT DISCUSSED. Yet here we are Two nearly three years later and she still appropriating me into her songs. Into her celebrity. And giving a bunch of strangers the indication she knows anything of me or about me on ANY level. The information she did collect via criminal activity she has grossly exaggerated and the other half is false. 4. I was also contemplating a suit against Taylor Swift previously. I have in my EMAIL slaughtered the whore in case any of them are criminals and its proven to be true. I thought it strange her songs were on point with events in my life. Which it has. She has no blackmail on me But I have been taking shots because she created VIDEOS surrounding another big case in which a song of hers is mentioned. The songs correlates to the suit and while I didn’t watch her do ANYTHING BAD BLOOD BLANK SPACE WILDEST DREAMS AND NOW READY FOR IT were all made around the time the events with the company I’m suing happened. In fact 1989 her cd was released 6 months after the events happened and started. Giving her time to write songs and create videos about my life in a harassing malicious defamatory nature. and majority of it is slander against me. Like I like Wildest Dreams but she CREATED A false story in the video even SWAYS MY CIVIL SUIT if I put any emphasis on the video in my OTHER suit. I’d accept a GIFT a nice song a nice video but WHAT SHE DID WAS SLANDER MY NAME and she is attempting to turn me into a pseudo celebrity by identifying me with my birthday. I enjoy anonymity. She is trying to steal that sneakily with the hand against the glass. 5. May. It’s a fucking suit, Bitch has lost her fucking MIND, The lapse in mental state happened between middle of 2014 through 2015 middle of 2015. The mental state did not last a year but songs related to what happened continued to be made By Taylor Swift in a years time including and up today. The suits is just now coming to a head this year. But the suit is from events from 2014 up till now. Blank space talks about Matts—the previous love interest email his email address is [email protected] I have excess skin on my stomach. Slight and not a big deal. It was only in EMAILS. No one should have known that. That video skirted around it and made up a story. About my body. There was also Bad Blood was made may 17th 2015. This all started the first week of May. It has Selena dressed in a two piece out fit at a company which is My suit against a company. I wore a two piece dress to a company function with a love interest Again NOONE should have known these things. They were not mentioned on Tumblr or ANY public setting or communication. These things were pasted in my email. What I talked about on twitter was Beyonce and to my knowledge she has not responded. As she shouldn’t. It was an outer space event. Never happening again and shouldn’t have happened before. Wildest Dream’s video was made August 31, 2015. This is literally a year AFTER the incident happened. She is highlighting the yellow which is the theme for my suit against the company and she recreated the night on the boat with my love interest but she inserted a part in which didn’t happen or created a story which creates a story for the defendants. But the song with out the video highlights in perfect detail Matt’s and ‘Is night on the boat. The video steals her gift. It now becomes criminal harassment defamatory and humiliating. That means Taylor was in my emails, And the whore owes me money and might even need jail time. I DON’T play those game. I’m about to end the whore. Just so I have everything listed BLANK SPACE WILDEST DREAMS READY FOR IT BAD BLOOD and SHAKE IT OFF. THESE ARE her popular songs off her 1989 cd. I haven’t heard the 1989 cd and don’t plan to listen. I’m requesting it be scrapped from air play and all her videos be removed from tv and youtube. And I want damages. Shake it OFF shows a black woman shaking her ass or twerking something I have never done. There was something in my search results with another ---- with a different last name and a twerk video and Taylor created a video about shaking something off that had nothing to do with me off Bitch Lost her mind. I’m a virgin. I wouldn’t be caught dead shaking anything anywhere. Not my style. Bitch needs to shake off vagina that’s been EVERYWHERE and publicized by her. LMAO Another moraless whore without class. What is it 7 8 9. Never in this life. Let me add here I do not KNOW this woman. I listen to some of her songs but there is no reason she should have taken interest in my life. I do not have family that are celebrities. The Bitch looks crazy. Now I would be interested to know if she has some ties to CMDI or an affiliate. The company is a republican affiliate. So that would give me proof that the defendants I have listed under CMDI are fit for a jail cell. The videos and or songs are favoring CMDI and their made up delusion. 5. Im going to add here tentaviley I am agrreing right now this is just me mind reading and covering all bases. Im REACHING in this last paragraph but I will suffer for it. But I find it weird nearly her whole cd I perused the lyrics to the other songs and they are filled with memories with Matt. I find it extremely creepy and invasive that she she has created a romantic collection of songs but then appears like she is attacking me in songs and putting words in my mouth. If she has any personal interest Matt I’m adding jail time. I’m seriously interested to know why she created a WHOLE cd bout MY life and by extension Matt’s life. I will not here I’ve noticed that Matt tweets celebrities using his work twitter I am not sure this fixation of Taylors is Old or Whether it was new based off what happened in 2014. Its extremely PATHETIC on ALL levels. I mean extremely pathetic. And sick.

Please note on my computer I have a different form due to copying the screen twice and getting two different pages. But it has been established this cd was released 6 months AFTER the events with CMDI and the events being put in my email started in May 2014

Relief—I want the sum of Taylor Swift’s networth which according to google Is 280 Million.. I want ALL OF 1989 removed from airway. I want a public apology form TAYLOR swift admitting guilt and apologizing for using her celebrity and platform to interfere in an anonymous person’s life and causing humiliation to an already victimized victim. I do not want to be addressed directly. I wish to keep my anonymity in tact. I want her to be humiliated like she tried to do me. I am being punished because I am white TRASH. Etc ETC. If it proven a romantic interest appears on ITHER end Im asking TAYLORS Music career be wiped AWAY. Cleaned. Broad lost her ever fucking mind. This line has been added against the suit against the company I'm suing as well but due to Taylor Swift being a celebrity and having many fans and connections this suit will be sealed. I am also stating that should I suffer death or any other bodily harm Taylor Swift and any other guilty party suffer the death penalty to include torture.
