DP x DC

Eye candy is now my Sugar Baby?

Vlad and Danny came to a mutual understanding. Vlad gives up killing Jack and gets Maddie and Danny's friendship. Vlad also debuts Danny as his heir, making Danny one of the most eligible Batchelors of his time.

At the age of 22, he's fresh out of college and has to navigate the political world of billionaires.

With marriage proposals left and right, one can only take so much before snapping.

It happens when he was making an appearance at a Premire involving space (movie or new Nasa project he funded). Walking down the red carpet several reporters kept hounding him. So much camera flash, the mics and cameras being shoved in his face. He snapped.

He scanned the crowd and zoned on the one person who could help. With a mischievous grin (the paparazzi caught this), he strode towards his target, snaking his arm of the persons arm and kissed him on the cheek, then whispered "play along" on a low voice no other would hear.

He knew this guy. He was kind, has a big heart, and is such an eye candy. He was Jonathan Samuel Kent, aka superboy.

Jon was in a similar position to Danny. The girls kept coming in waves and flirting with him. It was honestly exhausting. He came to the event with his mom as her assistant but lost her while chasing the stars of the movie for a scoop. The noise, bright flashes, and the constant flirting are starting to get him.

Suddenly a cold calm washed over him as a guy suddenly snaked an arm with his, kissed his cheek and whispered "play along". When he looked, he gave the most smitten, love struck expression he could make.

"Danny, my starlight!" Jon said excitedly.

"Jon, my sunshine I missed you!" Danny replied.

And so the two got lost in their own world chatting and catching up. Oblivious to the reporters snapping pictures and scribbling notes.

When Lois came back she saw the two, but only Danny seemed to have noticed her. She gave him a knowing look at screams. You owe me.

Overall, Danny had a great time, and at the end of the event, he came home with a heart much fuller and a scheduled date with his new boyfriend.

Lois to Jon: Just letting you know. I approve, use protection, and let us know when to expect grandkids.

Jon: Wha- Mom! (Embarrassed)

Clark: Your mother is right. You could get Danny pregnant regardless if he's a boy. His Halfa status would allow him to make kids he only needs your ... ahem ... fluids.

Jon: Dad! (Already thinking of having kids with Danny)

Danny: Personally, I like 3 kids, maybe 2 boys and a girl. The ghost treasury is mine plus real world billionaire anyway, so I can support you and the kids. Hey! Wanna be my sugar baby?

Jon: Okay, that's enough. BTW. Im a top only.

Danny: *eying Jon like a piece of delicious meat* I do 💍🤵‍♂🔔🤵

Don't know if you aswered this already but I'm wondering abt Katie Bell. Is she a amab trans girl? Or nonbinary (the whole "most days" a girl)? Or what else? Because Draco "brain meltdown in the prefect bathroom" Malfoy mentions being totally cool with bodies in the locker room: is he talking about bodies with bits like his own? Or are quidditch locker room coed and his prudish ways are immune to teammates bodies and it's just Hermione who makes his brain melt?

The best way to describe Katie’s gender is 🤵🤷. I haven't really sat down and thought about what label she prefers, but nonbinary is probably right. Draco’s not really close with her, so his understanding of her gender is pretty much: “That’s Katie, she flies chaser, the rest is none of my business.” Katie embraces this view.

I don’t remember if the locker rooms are coed in canon — considering JKR's other political positions, that's almost certainly not what she intended — but I like to imagine it's coed with private bathrooms available for those who prefer it. The Gryffindor team is fairly friendly with each other, but Angelina, for instance, definitely keeps her pants &c on in the lockers, and the other girls can undress to whatever level of nudity they're comfortable with. Draco's general sense of decorum prevents him from making much of this; the typical locker room hijinks happen tend to happen around him more than with him.

🛏️ 🤫 🤵 for auruim!! and the laugh one for literally as many of ur characters as you're willing to do 🥺

Looks deep into your eyes hi....

Does he have a morning routine, and what is it? - his morning routine is whatever the person in charge of him is doing. If he's with Alba, it comes down to Alba's morning routine. If not, it's whoever he defers to in the meantime. So technically no, he personally doesn't have any laid out structure to start his day. But depending on who he's with for any period of time, that structure will be chosen for him. That said he's a heavy sleeper post-reformation, and gets low quality sleep, so it's always a fight to get him up in the mornings.

The silliest secret he has - not 100% secret and maybe a little less than silly. But he needs glasses. In fact, he has glasses. Several backup pairs! He refuses to use them. He doesn't want people to see him wearing them and laugh behind his back. But he's very low vision without them; the eyes are one of the first parts to break down and lose function once you become mordrem. Reformation didn't help either, made it even worse. Part of why he looks so angry and scary all the time is just that he's squinting cause he can't see shit. There are maybe 5 people in his life who can bully him into putting them on to read or look at something, and less than 10 people who he'll let see him in them. otherwise he just refuses or tries to break or hide them.

His definition of dressing nice - he thinks this means suits and tuxedos and stuff. Haughty stuffy wealthy human clothes. He finds them garish and abhorrent and unnecessary, so being told to dress nice is like being told to come looking like a pompous stupid ass. But we should back up. Because Auruim’s definition of "dressed" is also "You can't fully see 100% of my exposed skin." If he's wearing something, any garment, he's dressed. This is why he's running around half naked most of the time; chest out, thighs out, tummy exposed, ass in the breeze. He's come to understand that for some reason OTHER people disagree with his sentiment on what constitutes being dressed. So he also takes great offense to being told that he needs to get dressed, because to him he is already. 🧍 overall the idea of putting on fancy wear is like a punishment. It's too constricting and uncomfortable and he doesn't like how it looks.

What kind of laugh do they have? -

Alba's depends on if he's in a professional or more personal environment. Professional = the quiet chuckle only. It's polite and unobtrusive. Personal settings = polite chuckle, but if he's caught off guard or if he's inebriated in any way he'll laugh out loud <- turns heads when people don't expect him to make that noise.

Auruim isnt the type to laugh much at all. does more of a sneer and an amused noise if somethings funny. Maybe looks away squinting and covers a smile if its REALLY funny. Shockingly doesn't think jokes at someone's expense are funny, even light teasing, because he can't separate saying something gently ribbing from being outright cruel and mean.

Bourbon’s got a deep rich laugh. He also has a polite, fake laugh for when things aren't funny. You can tell the difference immediately because it sounds so forced.

Aeris has a quiet snide chuckle but then also has a big uproarious laugh for when something's really good. Laughs until she squeaks and cries, hits you on the back so hard it hurts for a long time cause she knocked something out of place, doubles over and wheezes, etc. Struggles not to keep going back and laughing at it for a minute but once she's done she's done. Goes stone faced if you try to retell the joke.

VIGNETTE #20

Hi kids,I just want to give you a definition of what the Procurator Fiscal or PF is. I think that’s an interesting choice here. I will leave it up to your interpretation. I will put what it is here and this is from Wikipedia. A procurator fiscal (pl. procurators fiscal), sometimes called PF or fiscal, is a public prosecutor in Scotland, who has the ability to impose fiscal fines. They investigate all sudden and suspicious deaths in Scotland (similar to a coroner in other legal systems), conduct fatal accident inquiries (a form of inquestunique to the Scottish legal system) and handle criminal complaints against the police (administrative complaints are handled by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner). They also receive reports from specialist reporting agencies such as Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.For the majority of crimes in Scotland, the procurators fiscal present cases for the prosecution in the sheriff, district and justice of the peace courts, and the case for the defence is presented either by the accused, a solicitor, or an advocate. The solicitor will work for a firm of solicitors, or in certain areas of Scotland could be a public defender working for the Public Defence Solicitors’ Office.The procurator fiscal has the discretion not to prosecute and pursue alternatives free from political interference, but is always subject to the directions of the Crown Office and the Lord Advocate. I wonder if we are being thrown a bone so to speak in the cruise that somehow this is related to Madam maybe I’m way off, maybe I’m way off. Here starts the fun……..

💃 🕺 🤵 🥃 👑 🎼 🎶 🎵 🥃 those emoji’s are where we left off yesterday🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂. And everyone now is dressed in their finest, one can hear 👂 the music 🎵 🎼 🎶from downstairs. The guest have arrived! The noise level between the 🎶 music 🎵 🎼 and the dancing 🕺 💃 and the talking. I’m immersed in the sounds of the guests talking. They are all just beautiful sounds to her Majesty the 👑 Queen The annual Gillies 🎣 🦌 Ball 💃🕺 🤵 is so looked  forward to by  everyone who is blessed and lucky to attend. Each Gillie 🦌 🎣 gets a chance to 💃 with her Majesty 👑 at the ball every year. Kids can you imagine how exciting that must be?! I would be excited to dance with her ha ha ha ha. I would be thrilled beyond measure to dance with Himself!! Oh if it weren’t for my bum leg oh and him being a little grumpy.😁😁 I don’t know how much dancing he’s going to actually be doing. I close my eyes, I can just, I can feel it .I can see it I can hear the music 🎼 and they’re going to do the Canadian Reel! Everyone is dancing and having a marvellous time. Himself and I are a team, oh it’s a marvellous vision, it’s a marvellous site I’m seeing. I am dressed in a purple gown. Sequins  shiny purple silver and I have my shoes dyed purple to match my gown. I am dancing 🕺 💃 with Himself 🤵. The music 🎶 playing and everybody’s doing the Canadian Reel, in my honour. Oh my, the sites 👀 and 👂 sounds! Her Majesty has been generous and kind enough to loan me amethyst and diamond dangling earrings, the bracelet, the necklace and the ring! The entire suites or parure! I’m just dazzling from head to toe, dancing with Himself. I am lost in the vision. I’m lost. I can see it.I can feel it. Oh it’s marvellous. I’m having just a marvellous moment right now, just marvellous! That actually brought tears to my 👀 eyes.I have had my eyes 👀 closed as I was describing it. I was visualizing the whole experience, sights 👀 and sounds 👂,  the feel of the dancing 🕺 💃 it oh it actually brings tears to my eyes! 😭 I am having a marvellous moment, do I have to open my eyes now and continue or can I stay lost in this moment……..😊😊😊😊😊😊

I completely digressed,  but wasn’t it a beautiful digression!?!!

The ball is well underway now and her Majesty the Queen 👑 approaches Sydney. Sydney is looking fine in his kilt. Her Majesty 👑 looks stunningly gorgeous! She has on the most beautiful tartan gown. I can see her oh , the top of it is black velvet with long sleeves and her jewels are just sparkling.She is emeralds and diamonds. She looks marvellous, l can just see her. Being a Guerlain lover and collector myself,  I have so many of their perfumes and most of their make up and I think about eight of those bespoke lipsticks with the special case you can choose. I love Guerlain! I love love love Guerlain ! I am beyond thrilled to read her favourite perfume, reportedly, is made by Guerlain. It is Guerlain L'Heure Bleue. I can smell it. I can see her and I can just smell that perfume. Inquiring minds want to know, (who remembers where that’s from the, first person who remembers and posts in the comments where that’s from you’ll get a smile from me😊)Inquiring mind wants to know and so she is asking Sydney, what sort of mood is Himself in. Sydney replies, grumpy Ma’am.😤😤😠😠She replies, well then, we will have to lubricate🥃🥃🥃the grumpy😤😤😤😠😠😠😤😤bit!! 🥃 🥃 🍺 🍺 🍸L I want the Guerlain L'Heure Bleue Procurator Fiscal to win the best dressed 🏆 at the ball!  Sydney has a look on his face that requires an answer,  but he does not utter a word. Her Majesty👑 notices and says, it’s a private matter Sydney. He answers back,  my 👄 lips are sealed Ma’am. Now obviously those emoji lips are not Sydney’s but that’s all there is so take the lipstick off🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂. Her Majesty 👑says, slip the nod to Himself! Sydney replies, consider it done Ma’am. Sydney you are our rock! Sydney smiles, ☺️😊saying,my privilege Ma’am. Dancing 🕺 💃 awaits, says Her Majesty as she leaves Sydney to his assignment.🍺🍺🥃🥃🍸🍸🥃🥃😁😁😁Sydney’s usual reply, indubitably Ma’am………….to be continued………

Done with the upmost love and respect for Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh.

Carman: If you liked the Y2K scam, you’re gonna love the QAnon trolls and their pack of lies

#conspiracytheory👬 😒 🤵 ⚱ 👨‍⚕️ ⚰

Colorado News

My friend Helen, who died last year at the age of 90, went through a serious conspiracy theory phase 20-some years ago. She had retired from a nursing career that had provided purpose, satisfaction and friendship for more than 40 years. She was grieving the recent death of her husband, adrift and feeling vulnerable. 

She wanted to find an external explanation for her loneliness, helplessness and sense of isolation, and so she was the precise target for the self-aggrandizing cynics who engage in psychic manipulation to achieve their own ends.

This was before the social media explosion. Her medium of choice was AM radio and, in no time, she was sucked into the vortex of the dystopian talk-radio universe. 

Diane Carman

The fringe talk-radio goons back then said the dust trail of Comet Hale-Bopp was concealing a spaceship that would deliver aliens to take over the Earth, and she listened. When she repeated the ridiculous claim and her sons gave her that look, she admitted that, well, it did seem a little far-fetched.

There were other fantasies about invaders from the New World Order and about demons who own the Fed. She repeated them, but never got amped up about them.

Then, when they told her society would collapse at the stroke of midnight on Jan. 1, 2000, in something they ominously referred to as Y2K, she believed.

Oh, boy, did she.

With her two brothers, she invested in a gas generator for her house since she had become convinced the electric grid would collapse. They also stockpiled a basement full of freeze-dried food and bottled water, gassed up their cars, and dusted off the guns and ammo from storage, believing that society was on the brink of collapse. 

She warned us to prepare for martial law. 

She was genuinely frightened.

On Dec. 31, 1999, after years of roiling anxiety, she watched the New Year’s celebrations in Australia and New Zealand on TV waiting for all hell to break loose. Nothing happened.

READ: Colorado Sun opinion columnists.

Then, when she woke up on New Year’s Day after a fitful night’s sleep and nothing had changed at her home in St. Joseph, Mo., the creeping sense that she had been played started to sink in.

She realized she’d willingly suspended disbelief. She had allowed liars, fearmongers and crooks to take advantage of her. She let herself be victimized.

Embarrassed and angry, she quit talk-radio cold turkey and took her life back. She knew she’d been a sucker. She never wanted to feel that way again.

Helen’s story is a cautionary tale.

In 2020, when hurricanes, wildfires, police shootings, a pandemic, civil unrest, a derecho (say, what?) and a plummeting economy have provided all of us with plenty of legitimate sources of anxiety, the arsonists of fear and loathing have mobilized to pour accelerants onto our emotions and diabolically exploit them.

The faceless QAnon manipulators would have us believe that people who challenge Donald Trump are pedophiles who worship Satan and coordinate a child sex-trafficking operation, and that we’re being deceived because, they say, only 9,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 instead of the 180,000-plus deaths reported by hospitals, physicians, nurses, medical centers, coroners, Johns Hopkins University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Twitter mavens post unfounded rumors of black-clad “thugs” arriving in cities by the planeload to wreak havoc. Then, sinister politicians repeat the stories until their gullible followers believe that since they’ve heard it so often – despite a complete lack of evidence – it must be true.

And then there are the political henchmen who simply make stuff up and rely on highly placed enablers and apologists to provide cover so they can spread seeds of discontent across an already freaked-out populace.

We’re talking about University of Colorado Boulder’s Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy John Eastman, who speculated in a recent opinion piece in Newsweek that vice presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris might not be a full-fledged U.S. citizen because her parents were immigrants. 

It was a reprise of the despicable racist birther fabrication propagated for years by Trump and his fan club against President Obama.

You don’t have to have a Ph.D. or to have been a clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas to understand the 14th Amendment, which states that “All persons born … in the United States are citizens….” Eastman apparently thinks we’re too stupid to look it up.

And while Newsweek backpedaled after publishing Eastman’s thinly veiled attack on the legitimacy of Harris’ candidacy and apologized for publishing something that fanned the flames of racism and xenophobia, CU doubled down.

Chancellor Phil DiStefano said in a memo that although “Professor Eastman’s op-ed has marginalized members of our CU Boulder community” and undermined the university’s efforts to achieve racial equity, he will not rescind his appointment or silence him from publishing any further specious claptrap.  

Apparently academic freedom in Boulder is a license to publish utter BS.

All this should be a warning to people who are trying, against great odds, to weigh actual facts and make good decisions in the coming elections. 

A host of crooks and charlatans are out there – like the identity thieves constantly bombarding our phones with lies about the IRS coming after us – strafing our consciousness with sinister disinformation.

OUR UNDERWRITERS SUPPORT JOURNALISM.   BECOME ONE.

Honestly, we’re all exhausted by the real dangers of 2020. It’s cruel and disgusting that we’re being targeted with sick fantasies.

So, as a tribute to Helen, let’s just remember New Year’s Day 2000 and think about how angry she was when she realized she’d been duped.

Don’t let it happen to you.

Connie Shoemaker has experienced more than half her life in an international setting. Her interest in Muslim women began with four years at American University in Cairo, Egypt, where her husband initiated a graduate communications program and she combined raising three children with teaching English, writing for Associated Press and other newspapers, and publishing a book of poetry. She continues that interest as co-founder and director emerita of Spring International Language Center and board member of Immigrant Pathways Colorado. She has paired her passion for the Muslim world with her commitment to the value of writing life stories. 

The following is an interview with Connie Shoemaker.

UNDERWRITTEN BY

Each week, The Colorado Sun and Colorado Humanities & Center For The Book feature an excerpt from a Colorado book and an interview with the author. Explore the SunLit archives at coloradosun.com/sunlit.

What inspired you to write this book?

The hope of bridging the social and political chasm dividing America today. 

Fear of persons of a different skin color, religion, dress, or political party has burst into a flood of hatred that has damaged the paths that should connect us and is being used by those who would divide us. 

The Muslim community is one of the major targets of this fear. Just as knowledge frees us and makes us more able to function correctly, ignorance condemns us to the bondage of fear. I wanted “Taste the Sweetness” to chip away at ignorance by giving readers the opportunity to become intimately acquainted with two Muslim women through the life stories they tell.

Place these two excerpts in context. How do they fit into the book as a whole and why did you select them?

The first excerpt focuses on a pivotal event in the life of Nisren, the Kurdish Iraqi woman who has lived her life under the stress of a dictator, six wars, sanctions, and the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Her husband, an interpreter for the U.S. Army, has received death threats by factions against the U.S. occupation of Iraq. His meeting with a Colorado National Guard member changes the course of the family’s life.

Tell us about creating this book: any research and travel you might have done, any other influences on which you drew?

I’ve spent more than half my life in an international setting, including four years in Cairo, Egypt, with my husband and three children. He initiated a graduate program in mass communication, and I taught English as a foreign language and wrote for Associated Press. An additional 40 years of my life have been dedicated to international students and immigrants as I co-founded Spring International Language Center and directed the English as a Second Language program in Littleton, Colorado. 

My work with Spring International took me to Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East recruiting students for the program, visiting former students, and fulfilling a U.S. Department of State project on the island of Cyprus that sought to build a bridge between the Turkish North and the Greek South of the country. Yes, that’s a lot of years and, yes, I’m rather old—86 to be exact.

What were the biggest challenges you faced, or surprises you encountered in completing this book?

The winnowing-down process. I spent more than 300 hours with Nisren and Eman, encouraging them to tell me their life stories, recording the interviews, choosing the most insightful responses and drafting them into their life stories. 

I then tried to create scenes that would vividly illustrate the events in their lives, had them review these and add or subtract from them. Then, of course, came multiple drafts, lots of discards, research into politics of Libya, Iraq, and the U.S., and so on. 

The interviews were a joy that I’ll always cherish because Nisren and Eman allowed me to experience their lives through their own voices. I discovered that they, too, benefited from sharing their stories.  The process validated their experiences and helped them to reflect on their difficulties and rejoice in their strengths.

Walk us through your writing process: Where and when do you write? What time of day? Do you listen to music, need quiet? 

I’ve always been an early riser, so I usually go to my office upstairs after breakfast, accompanied by resident ragdoll cats, Sophie and Muffy, who like to curl up under the desk. 

When I reviewed the audio recordings, I needed to close the door to the office, so I could listen intently to what Nisren and Eman were saying.  When my husband and I were under a 14-day Covid-19 quarantine, I needed to listen to light classical music to take my mind away from the cable news that I watch too frequently.

What’s your next project?

I enjoy writing poetry and have a book of poems, “The Last Good Night,” which I would like to revise and complete with new verses.  Immersion journalism is a moniker for the genre of writing in “Taste the Sweetness,” and I’m interested in using the same process to tell the story of the amazing participants from ages 70 to 94 in a Silver Sneakers exercise class. Also, at the back of my mind for several years, has been the story of an American family of five living in Cairo, Egypt, during the 1970s.
