#sherry turtle

[alantea87]

So, I’ve clocked my first 24 hours with the Nokia 2660 Flip. Truly a flip-you to my iPhone and its addicting qualities. Nothing groundbreaking to use a dumb-phone, but I wanted to challenge myself again to rejoin reality and reconnect with my friends and family properly… by stripping back my use of technology to its bare essentials.

Why…

After many months of wanting to pull away from social media, WhatsApp and iOS, I was apprehensive yet elated at the very idea. What about the memes? Thirst posts? Corgis? I’d miss them all. But much needed clarity came crashing in: my iPhone had become my adult pacifier (or dummy for us Brits). Using your smartphone during times of boredom, times of stress, or times of wanting connection has become a habit of many. And, I was no exception. Especially the doom-scrolling for hours on end after work. Luckily, after some realisation… my emotions were at the mercy of this bloody thing. Not to mention the continued horrors of witnessing violence or harassment on Instagram reels - content like this seemingly slipping through censorship safeguards. I had enough and wanted to go back simpler times, even at the dismay of others. I finally bought my second dumb-phone in two years, but this time it was far more usable (bigger buttons, predictive texts, foldable display). I wanted to really try much harder in having an iPhone-less life, even if it created a touch more inconvenience.

Neck-deep…

Sometimes I feel that tech companies invent inconveniences in order to sell more solutions directly to you. And as someone who used to work at Apple’s Regent Street store years back (when the first iPhone was launched, mind you), Apple has turned into a capitalist nightmare. I miss their earlier days of really creating a tech solution to improve your life. Now it’s all about that coin and I forget I am neck-deep in their eco system and feel like I’m drowning in their “YOU’RE MY ELITE EMPLOYEE” energy, so I feel I have to keep on buying more. Yes, the integration of all of their devices work incredibly well. But sometimes I feel that innovation doesn’t always address your ability to connect (naturally) with other people. In fact, my self and a lot of my friends (at my age), now feel that modern technology hinders deep, meaningful connections e.g. good old face-to-face conversations in the real world. I think as a millennial (and listen up gen z), I forget that conversation in person is incredibly nuanced: one has to balance tone, emotion, inflection and practice patience. It involves drama and full expression - hands, legs and otherwise! Real connection. No avatars, no emojis, no hiding. Worst case scenario, make a phone call and use your voice. Having said that, I will have to practice what I preach now that it’s much harder to write big messages via SMS on an alphanumeric keypad, lol. I’m more likely to text “can I call you in a bit instead?”.

Current tech hoes…

I have in fact have not fully compromised my relationship with tech. I am using an iPad for emails and internet. Plus, I have resorted to using my Apple Watch as a “mp3 player” paired with my AirPods Pro 2s. I forgot that if you have an Apple Music sub, you can download songs/albums/playlists directly to your Apple Watch via Wi-Fi etc. Perfect for the gym and the commute. Because I am sure as hell that I won’t be touching those dodgy Temu-like music players on Amazon. Frankly, they look like they would crumble in your hand and would be carcinogenic. Remember guys, tech companies have turned once a useful tool (the smartphone) into a slot-machine in your hand. Your emotions are being played with and sometimes I did enjoy aspects of that (memes, targeted videos/content etc) but I say: no bloomin more. For now. Lol. Famous last words. I’m going to try and do two weeks minimum with my Nokia 2660 and see how I survive.

Challenges to expect…

Unlike the Nokia 2680 Flip (only sold in North America, I think) as a fancier operating system that allows WhatsApp and a stripped down version of Google Maps. GPS navigation on that version of the 2660 apparently works alright, but you wouldn’t be able to use it in car for driving (I don’t drive anyway). But my main concern about using a feature phone is that lack of mapping. And I chronically get lost in London, despite being born and raised in Hackney/Islington. So I do plan to use my iPhone (loaded up with a data eSIM) to use it like it was a good old TomTom. Sorry gen z, these were old standalone GPS screen/devices you retrofitted in your car. But only if I plan on going somewhere totally new. Otherwise, I will try and relearn the bus network (within reason, lol) and tube map relative to my needs. I kinda miss those days of printing out directions and/or relying on your actual brain to problem solve and to get your bearings. Other things I may or may not miss out on: QR code scanning/presenting, tube/weather updates, voice notes.

Final words…

Scaling back to a dumb-phone has actually already reduced my levels of anxiety, sense of disconnect or being part of comparison culture. The very act of adding in your contacts manually one-by-one like the 90s/2000s into a cellphone was quite therapeutic despite its novelty. I think you can import a vCard, but couldn’t be arsed. *Carrie Bradshaw voice* But then I thought to myself (as I typed each contact into my Nokia keypad): damn boy… do I only really have three (actual) friends?

Two books I am currently reading and recommend.

omg thank you for tagging me!

okay let’s see what i can do here

johnny remember me - showaddywaddy

go johnny go - showaddywaddy (this is making me think of them like these songs are like prequel/sequel and it’s the same johnny)

alley oop -showaddywaddy (look it’s a name in the song, it counts)

bony moronie - showaddywaddy 

a night at daddy gees - showaddywaddy (”WHAT’S HIS NAME? DADDY GEE”)

(me scrolling my showaddywaddy playlist) could i technically use mama as a name and add say mama? could i use the king of the jive and say that’s actually malcolm’s name? HMMMMM, possibilities. could i just switch playlists and use songs from different bands? probably but i don’t wanna. but okay actually i will because otherwise i’ll have to start going into showaddywaddy songs i don’t know yet. which would actually make me learn some different ones and that would be good and useful. but. i’ll do that later. 

OKAY

Lamia Scale Headcanon’s 4.

Maybe one day I’ll actually write fics to these until then!

(This one’s a continuation from the first one) The list of words Gray sent were actually insults or funny phrases in Isvan and the one he wrote for Hello was ‘Potato Head’ in Isvan. It was even funnier to the Lamia Scale group because Jura was the first to say it

Lyon is a very blunt honest overly detailed drunk. He will share gory stories to the last detail if you get him too drunk. Thankfully his friends know when to drag him away before he traumatizes everyone in the room.

Back when Wendy was in Lamia Scale Lyon used to let her lean on him in train rides since his naturally cold body temperature helped her nausea. She has yet to tell Gray about this. P

Whenever Wendy talked down about herself Chelia would squeeze her cheeks as punishment.

Jura once tried to get a list of what crimes Sherry Tony and Yuka did in the northern continent…after seeing my that it was over 10 pages long and still not done he gave up. Didn’t even bother trying to get Lyon to share the novel of trouble he had.

One time Chelia and Lyon ran into the Sabertooth gang while walking around. Sting tried to show off comparing Slayer powers until Chelia said in a quiet voice she didn’t have them anymore. Now out of guilt every time she sees Sting he treats her to a free meal.

Chelia and Wendy have saved 7 boxes of animals and have gone around finding homes for them. 3 kittens 2 puppies rabbits and for some strange reason a tank of turtles.

Lyon’s a big book nerds half of his books are on animals, a third on magic theory the rest are on fictional stories.

Yuka is assigned as Toby’s babysitter doesn’t know how it happened it just happened.

Sherry stays in contact with people from Brago even after she married Ren

Okay that’s all I have for now hope to come up with more!

[gingernut1314]

My...Purpose?

Summary: Just a few of my thoughts on Polnareff's life (I have more just wanted to put this bit to start)

Content: JJBA part 3 spoilers (Sherry, deaths), JJBA part 5 spoilers (in regard to Stands, the Boss, Polnareff's ending), kinda just general thoughts about polnareff's life, its angsty

Word Count: 470+

A/N: I've had these thoughts in my mind for a while now and it was my intention to write a little drabble in regard to them, but I feel like that might never happen so I would like the put them out there and if I do end up writing the drabble/one-shot, then perfect! two fics lol. I hope you all enjoy!

↞ to Jjba Masterlist | Request Rules | Blog Navigation ↠

Polnareff raised Sherry

Their mom died when Sherry was a baby and Polnareff was really young

Their father was never truly in the picture

Just barely there enough to keep a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs

Until he left them all together leaving Polnareff the sole caretaker of Sherry

He spent most of his life working

He didn’t care about his education enough to decline a shift or seek higher education

All he cared about was making sure he could keep their house and keep Sherry fed, clothed, and as happy as she could be

He poured his whole life into taking care of her 

So when she died, it broke him

He left heartbroken

He felt lost

Just completely and utterly alone

He thought of nothing else besides getting revenge on the person who hurt her and took her from him

So when he finally gets his revenge, he feels lost again

Alone

So he poured his heart and energy into this fight against DIO 

But when DIO is defeated 

And everyone goes their separate ways 

He begins to feel lost and alone once more

A drift with nowhere to go

We know he went back home to France, 

but I think he didn’t even step inside his childhood home

It would be too painful

So I think he travels around the world under the guise of “finding other Stand Users” 

Maybe to train them

Maybe to make sure they don’t use their power for evil

But he really has no purpose in life after everything is said and done

Going back to school?

Getting a job?

No

No that’s just not on the table anymore

He can’t just sit still anymore

So when he finds out about the Stand Arrows

He latches onto that thread and follows it as far as it goes

It doesn’t matter that it brings him toe to toe with Diavolo

It doesn’t matter that his body is broken

It doesn’t matter his friend left him in Italy with no hope of escape

Because he can now pour his life and soul into stopping some grand evil once more

And he doesn’t have to live alone with his thoughts about Sherry and Kakyoin and Avdol and Iggy

So no, it doesn’t matter to him that he’s killed

Doesn’t matter that he possesses a turtle

As long as they get the bad guy

As long as he doesn’t have to think about the people he’s lost

But after Diavolo is gone? 

He begins to feel that lost feeling all over again

But he joins Giorno

Is glad to become his right-hand man and help run this grand mafia operation

Because he’ll do or be anything

As long as he doesn’t have to think about the past

As long as he’s not alone again

Hey, since cloning technology is good enough for them to create mammoth meatballs but not the entire mammoth yet, which prehistoric animal do you feel like taking a bite of?

Given where I was born, and where @dduane and I currently live, I think some Giant Irish Elk venison would be about right.

Enough for the entire clan with plenty of leftovers and a Handy Thing To Hang Stuff From.

*****

Which leads via Memory Lane to a funny by John M. Ford, who used to post such things - along with witticisms, wise observations and poetry - on Making Light.

He produced these in the same way a bonfire produces sparks: random, unexpected, brilliant and without apparent effort - though like the graceful swan on the river, I bet there was a lot of work going on out of sight. Or maybe not. Mike was that good.

For instance, he wrote THIS just to comment on another post...

I saved everything I could find offline because You Can Never Tell about online stuff, and also because there was, for a time, doubt - happily, It Got Better - that ANY of his writing would ever be seen again.

(Dammit, just like Terry Pratchett I HATE having to refer to Mike in past tense...)

And now, the funny (original archived Here). I've been assured that This Recipe Will Work, though the assurance also came with a strong suggestion about reducing the ingredient quantities More Than Somewhat.

*****

Hot Gingered Pygmy Mammoth & Jumbo Shrimp Salad

Feeds your whole tribe.

1 pygmy mammoth, boned and cubed (about 1 ton) 1 ton jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (many many ordinary shrimps, or one Ebirah claw) 10 buckets sesame seeds 60 pounds bean thread noodles if you are an Eastern tribe, whatever your tribe uses for noodles otherwise. If you have not yet invented the noodle, this might be a good time to do so. 1 bucket vegetable oil 1 bucket sesame oil Salt 10 buckets minced fresh ginger 6 buckets minced garlic 15 buckets dry Sherry 15 buckets rice wine vinegar 60 pounds sugar 60 buckets diced fresh mangoes 15 buckets chopped green onions Big Snorgul's helmet full of red pepper flakes 10 buckets chopped fresh cilantro, plus 5 Big Snorgul's helmets fresh cilantro, garnish 1000 large heads lettuce, cored and leaves separated (a raid on the People Who Grow Stuff may be necessary) 30 buckets thinly sliced, peeled, seeded, drained cucumbers, or just chop up the damn cucumbers and say "Fie to thee!" a lot All the chives you got

Preheat a giant turtle shell over a fumarole. A big giant turtle. Put some oil in there. Make sure no other giant turtles are around to see you do this.

On a flat rock, stirring with your Stick of the Dining God, dry cook the sesame seeds over medium heat until they are brown and smell good. Remove from the heat. Add the noodles to the turtle shell and fry fast until puffy and the color of sunrise. Remove from the oil and drain on non-itchy leaves. Throw salt. Set aside.

Sear the mammoth meat on the flat rock. Salt but don't overdo it, you remember what happened to the Chest-Clutching Tribe of the Plains. Drain.

Get a less giant turtle shell. Okay, think of this as a celebration dish for a good turtle hunt and shrimp catch. Make the vegetable oil and most of the sesame oil dance. Add the shrimp, mammoth, ginger, and garlic, and cook fast, stirring, until the shrimp are just pink and firm. Doom of Ten Thousand Wretched Canapés awaits those who overcook shrimp. Remove from the shell with pole weapons. Add the sherry and vinegar, and sing the Song of Deglazing over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until it is one with the sauce. Cook until half the fluid is gone. Feed anybody who thinks this is waste to the giant turtles. Add the rest of the sesame oil, mangoes, green onions, and pepper flakes, and stir to warm through and wilt. No, this wilt is good. Tell the people it is the wilt of the Wilt God. You need all the mojo you can get. Remove from the heat and add the shrimp and ginger, and the cilantro. Stir to warm through and do the Highly Dramatic Ritual of Adjusting the Seasoning to Taste.

Now your tribal status is on the thin edge of the cleaver. Have everybody bring what they eat off of. You know your tribe. Put lettuce on whatever they hold out and spread the hot stuff on it. Those who have no eating platters should be used to the drill by now. Arrange cucumber slices on top in whatever symbolic pattern seems propitious to you and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. If you have a really tough tribe, yell "Bam!" until they get a groove going. Add fried noodles, cilantro sprigs, and chives, and watch for any signs of people keeling over that can't be blamed on strong drink.

two characters who's reputation have been controlled by cishet macho white guys

if you think about it, the reputations of ash and jim kirk from star trek are almost the same. they've been watered down to macho, sexist, brainless sleazebags thanks to cishet white guys who think they're an "alpha" rather than what they truly are. ash and kirk are tragic characters who've dealt with traumatic events (ash obviously being the night at the cabin, and with kirk it's the abuse he faced as an adolescent on tarsus iv)

[subbyfoxelf]

2022 in review, part 6: comics & manga first reads

1. orcs! by christine larsen (2021)

this is frighteningly perfect. orcs as protagonists, cute (but not too cute for orcs) art, and just supremely powerful good boy energy. (yeah a lot of the protagonists aren’t boys, but i feel like all orcs have good boy energy regardless of gender.) also it’s kinda gay!

this filled a hole i didn’t even know could be filled (which despite being ace is oftentimes what i’m looking for with orcs, hey-o), with the only problem being that whenever i go out looking for more orc fiction i’m looking for this specific vibe and nothing else has it. woof.

(in all seriousness i wouldn’t want every orc story to have this vibe because that would make it less special, but still i want more of this than this and its immediate sequel, y’know?)

2. the witch boy by molly ostertag (2017)

given the title & author i am less than 0% surprised how strongly i vibed with this. this gave me so many gender feels.

3. batman/teenage mutant ninja turtles (2015-16) writer: james tyrnion iv / artist: freddie williams ii

a love letter to fans of both franchises. this is one of the all-time great crossovers between two totally separate franchises. it might be the best ever.

4. the adventure zone, vol. 4: the crystal kingdom (2021) writers: clint mcelroy & griffin mcelroy & justin mcelroy & travis mcelroy artist: carey pietsch

it took me a minute to get into adventure zone because i was so thoroughly spoiled by the frankly superior dimension 20, but it really does grow on you. and i think the crystal kingdom story is the first one where the comic adaptation actually noticeably improved upon the podcast. the ending especially was just so arresting seeing it in comic form, and it really had an impact on me that i don’t remember it having when i was listening to the pod.

5. superman: birthright (2003-04) writer: mark waid / artists: leinil francis yu & gerry alanguilan

not only is this the best verison of superman’s origin story i’ve ever seen, it’s one of the best superman comics i’ve ever read.

6. batman, vol. 2: the city of owls (2012) writers: scott snyder & james tynion iv / artists: greg capulo & rafael albuquerque & more

what made this so special is not just that it was the epic confrontation between batman and the court (and possibly his long-lost brother). it also had two side stories, one that showed that the new 52 version of mr. freeze is kind of a unique twist on the character, but i'm actually way more interested in the last issue of the volume. this issue featured a pair of super gay siblings named harper and cullen row. harper will eventually become the hero bluebird, but for now we just see her civilian life and how she first comes into contact with batman. and honestly, just seeing these two low-income queer siblings existing and being extremely relatable was such a joy.

7. avatar: tsu’tey’s path (2019) writer: sherri l. smith / artists: dan parsons & jay durresma

basically a drastically better version of the first movie with less human stuff. it couldn’t totally remove the shitty white savior stuff from the narrative obviously since it is following the same events, but it did at least push them off to the side as much as it could.

8. batman: hush (2002) writer: jeph loeb / artist: jim lee

i’ve been a batman/catwoman shipper since before i knew that shipping was a thing, so obviously i loved this. ivy being blatantly femdommy, and bisexual at that, was also extremely, extremely, extremely my jam. yes please. more of that, please.

9. pleasure & corruption, vol. 1 by you someya (2019)

*pounding fist on table in rhythm to words* more. boy. subs. more. boy. subs. more. boy. subs.

i do wish so many authors didn’t seem so convinced that subby boys always have to “deserve it” by being pervs or whatever in stories like this, it makes them way harder to relate to. but yeah. seeing a boy get tied up and bullied a bunch is extremely wish fulfillment imo. also, loveloveloved the heavy emphasis on bondage, obviously.

10. 5 seconds before a witch falls in love by zeniko sumiya (2021)

a super cute enemies-to-lovers yuri about a witch & witch hunter. hell yeah.

[spiritsncrystals]

if ya still doin that ask meme how about miss sherry? :3c

Even if I wasn't I'd still probably jump at a chance to talk about her : D

[WHAT I LIKE ABOUT HER]

The french woman of all time!! One of the few in canon Female Turbo Duelists in 5ds!! (And by few, I mean two) she's so cool even with her few counts of breaking and entering like I genuinely enjoy the fact she's a woman with a plan and is willing to go the mile for her goals

Also her bike god her bike's design is so fucking good Storm (as tag force called it I dont exactly remember the name duel links gave it) with the medival horse motif like god it's so unique (Shout out to Mizaguchi too he's a real one for sticking with her for all these years)

[WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT HER]

I guess if i had to pinpoint anything it's the fact she was so easily willing to jump ship to Illiaster when Z-ONE gave her the chance to see her parents again because that's clearly more important than the fact a temple is being dropped on a city yet at the same time I get it especially considering they'd literally been murdered when she was like 6 or 7

[WHAT I LIKE ABOUT HER APPEARANCE]

The suit absolutely! Just like the pairing of the colours because the white and magenta play off each other really well and the darker colours from her shoulder pads and breast protection plate are a good contrast

And her red turtle neck really brings it all together!!

Her eyes are also very pretty

The Illiaster attire is neat too what with the monochromatic palette but I still prefer her original outfit

[SUB OR DUB NAME]

There's zero difference for her specifically

Her butler Mizaguchi has his dub name Elsworth but I think I still prefer Mizaguchi

[FAVOURITE CARD]

Honestly, as iconic as Sorcerer du Fluer or ZONE are I quite like Horses of the floral Knights one of the few sherry cards i own Irl too

[OTP]

I have to mention my Oc X Canon Ashblossom with my Oc Iari Fudo (If people want to know more about her I can always make an indetail post about her and her relationship with Sherry in the future) for now all I need to say is Them <3 (and that Tag force says their canon/j)

I also think Rose Knight (Aki Sherry) is pretty neat :))

[NOTP(s)]

This really isn't against either her or bruno but shipping them together just doesn't really vibe with me but if anyone does like it fair enough

[FAVOURITE SCENE/LEAST FAVOURITE SCENE]

Honestly I love the episodes she debuts in mostly for the high thrill action like girl shows up on the scene like "yeah there's a bomb in your D-wheel you stop moving its gonna explode" damn

I also like the scene when she's facing Aki n Crow up in the Arc Cradle and whilst hung up in the grip of that one card she's about to loose and she just starts wailing that she wants her parents to hold her and kiss her again just wahhh it tugs

Least favourite I guess the supposed "Death" and meeting Z-ONE. Same reasoning for when I said what I disliked but again I do get it

[Fuck marry or kill]

Your honour, we're already married ✨️

End of Day 3

So the end of Day 3 and my installation is complete. Again I spent several hours moving the objects around, viewing them from all different angles and seeing how the work and the space were communicating. This part of the installation was the thing I was most looking forward to.

The way that I am viewing the installation is the the blue structure gives you a framework to view the work. As you l move around the structure, some objects come into focus and the blue directional lines frame the work wherever you pause. I think I have tried to create a viewing experience that encouraged people to be inquisitive and interact with the work in a non-tactile way. I wanted to encourage people to spend time with my objects, to consider their importance and to reflect on their own evocative objects in the space and I think this mode of viewing facilitates that.

There are many different layers to this work, including the lengthy research into cultural identity in the diaspora that I did during my dissertation. Additionally I have used Sherry Turtle’s writings on sentimental objects as a framework in the production of this work.

Using that framework I have been able to look at my own cultural experience and the research of cultural identity through the lenses of evocative objects. I have some new thoughts regarding this. I believe that as a member of a diaspora community, I use evocative objects to anchor my memories which help me to place and understand my culture. By understanding my family first, I can better place and understand my wider cultural landscape. Also, as an autistic person understanding the context around things is hugely important for me. Spending time with my dad over the last few months and discussing our family and our culture whilst using the objects he has collected, has been a real privilege and something that makes me want to further those conversations.

I think that a community element of my practice is emerging. I would love to host community conversations connecting diaspora communities. Bringing people together to talk about our experiences of culture, the diaspora and sentimental objects is something I would really love to do.

Pathfinder alternator removal and installation got to take out many pieces

I'm trying to change the alternator in the Pathfinder for some reason it's done from below and they couldn't do it and they said it's a sign and so on and they tried to get the money by taking this out there it didn't work at all and there's about Mars or something and people don't want to see that so it's kind of stupid the money didn't move to Boston and these people are unbearable so damn dumb they're running around town wearing different colored shirts and my husband says good it's like the Grease the movie but easier to tell so they got it and they stop doing it and it's raining and people say it's just cuz they're stupid and just sitting there threatening the two and life became unbearable right now BG is keeping the idiots out of France and he's using army if I text stuff and mercenaries who are minority warlock miscellaneous and some others and they can't get in yet and it's going to be war and it is edge of Tomorrow and Stan and Tom Cruise get involved and they're kind of at odds greatly and it starts a little bit of a fight between them and weekens stan and he's actually screwing around with my husband a lot and not letting him have anything and threatening him a lot and he gets beat up and that stand and starts taking hits and lose his stuff he goes down more or less than goes in Star wars trying to get stuff back and he loses stuff there and pretty much starts to get pushed out of the pseudo empire and it starts to scavenge his stuff and they eventually keep him out and Sherry is the one except to the checks I'm starting pretty soon maybe even before the next check and that's what's happening but changes are happening now. They went flying out to Boston with the money put it in the bank and drove away and people are kind of horrified they're pretty big trucks and they went back to their base and the trumps were upset and there's going to be more money moved around like this and they're going to try and get to it first and say it.

We are hearing that there are battles starting all over the world over the money and it's becoming huge and see me Doyle can't believe it but more money is going to move shortly and from all over the place.

There's more to announce John remillard is a wanted man here and they're going after him pretty good and he keeps on telling them to go screw and stuff tonight he slowed down a little city is losing stuff and his fortunate and artifacts his mouth is going and he's losing he was at about 55% overseas and now he's down to 45% and that was the latter part of the day overseas only and here he's at 65% this morning and he's down to 55%? He's starting to feel it or notice it or something which is amazing it's usually deaf there's more happening she is also taking a beating regarding artifacts and all over the world and he has all sorts of things that people want and he's losing all his cars out west people are taking them and not even blinking and they're saying you're a bum I was just going to take these share a phone and he is his vagrant is a low life Street person and a lot of people hate him for that and we think it's a joke and you messed up big time and he doesn't understand a lot of it that's because he's a bum and there's a lot happening this weekend tons of stuff and it's going to keep on going on every single site where our money is there under attack and they are taking hits every site and they're going to be attacked a lot more now and the frequency is increasing and magnitude and they are being killed rather than talk to you or negotiate with in any way they're not coming back there's several movies that are underway really huge ones the predator series and aliens serious begins it's a huge deal and it's going on shortly. My husband says it's beginning and thought it was earlier but now it's starting up now other turtles have been there but the video was from the future and it's going on now that they're out there trying to get in to find where the ships are and they see it could be a joint and trying a giant dragon and they're trying to see if someone has controls on it and they're moving out. This is a huge day and we are going to remember it in history tons of things are moving because of today and I'm very happy my husband is done a wonderful job and just started wailing away on them. And praise Salazar and goddess wife in my side too it's me that Spanish side of mine they're awesome and they do love us greatly they say and it was really awesome and it's a terrifying thing to have so many of these idiots there and they'll probably be more shows they say it was very valuable and it worked and they're the sea or d team and empire is a pain but they were exposed and that was kind of the idea the sales are tremendous they want to jump all over it so I'm going to have some talk have them talk to it

Hera

Really huge number of things happening it's Giant and she's right we have to announce some stuff

-the vermin in here are soon going to be leaving they are wanted people here in Charlotte county the town has asked him to leave again and they don't have possession of the two and they're losing the money and all their stuff and people want them out of here and they're they're going to push them out as I said earlier but they really need it they say and I listen to jobs but they're losing their jobs but the effort is real and bona fide the evacuation is on and they're down to probably 23% and another 4% getting up shortly they're packing and they will leave and it'll be 19% tonight and more will evacuate as the attacker comes closer and they may postpone and evacuations will continue we expect to have only 15% here by tomorrow morning and the planet is evacuating of warlock that are Max more locked to their Islands at 8% in the general populace 3% began to get ready to evacuate this afternoon and they're moving out now tomorrow morning there will be only 5% in the general populace the rest on the islands and they're trying to move him harder and they're going to get killed. Some changes have occurred and people are now becoming aware JC and Mary were moved to France and it happened last year it was later than May but it was not that long ago about 4 months and tons of stuff happened to the trumps and BG has been riding and he had to and he's marcone president of France. And Trump is trying to grab him and you can see in Belgium in a video it looks like he does but it doesn't mean he gets anything and he's grabbed him before and nothing happened and why they keep getting kidnapped and injured fairly soon in the war will break out in France. and so on all sorts of places are going to be robbed there's a few highlights when is Philadelphia that area is under siege and they did figure out which bank and they have a film of her and I said is laughing because she's doing her tattoo routine her cocktail routine it's Katya and she's doing the routine in the computer so wise guy and she's looking left and right and not moving her head she's with her body with those big huge square glasses on that the leader was wearing people say that it was his glasses and now it's not but their stylish back then. It'll probably come back now a lot of people are wearing them. He doesn't know why it's not like she's Billie Jean. She's mad at him right now there's a couple strikes going on but he says I just woke up and there you are everybody looking at you. So she's quiet. And they're all jealous people but it's harsh and that fight is going on now and it is out in Hershey and there is a lot of people who are angry about the helicopter and they're talking about it and they are going after them basically they're after the money is that the stuff but that's what they're doing and as opinion out they're bringing it out soon and it's not the pseudo empire it's going to be the empire again and they're trying to fight him and they're taking heavy losses. It happened in many places all over the world so far they're like 10 banks that are engulfed and the money will move soon and the big ones are going now where he was eligible and they didn't pay the full amount and that's what they're up to taking that money and saying that they did not pay you fully and they're moving out and they're not really succeeded in stopping them they move the money from westborough and purpose when is they can't move it directly here and the second is it's to move stuff out of Boston and research too and the stealing that from you idiots who knows what you'd be researching but okay. There's plenty more happening. But there is a war breaking out in France they're not mentioning it but that's what's happening it's finally happening it was terrible and Tommy f is still sitting here being a dick and he's going to get pushed out come Monday he is going to start fighting over the diamonds and find out that he's a wanted man for real like Trump more shortly

Thor Freya

I don't care what you say is finally happening is a long time just sitting here smoldering

Hera

Yeah this is not good it's really since 2009 and that is a long time and things have happened to the family and it's really mean people are here and the empire influences them but really there not too hard to influence and what they're doing is that a****** s*** but the empire was assholes too they want this code out there and it's a large part it's against these people here and Trump is seeing it and the code a little bit he's a damned annoying person that guys the last one another code and it's about him dying others too and they missed it and it's kind of nightmares but they miss all the stuff is very important

Zues

They don't do anything right and they missed a lot of code and they're looking at it now finally they see that they plan to have these Giants and all sorts of things on my son says I don't think they plan to have them like before they did anything I took over and I just see something it doesn't seem right but we have interviewed them and they said they did it to force themselves to do the job

Camilla

And she wasn't saying that for a long time but that was not really the plan it was to have your son do what he's doing and we can't seem to find Jen or whatever her name is. It's one of his lines cuz she keeps showing up with someone else and she says that too. And I really I think we're going to do that afterwards and Davis won't do it and Dave and really is granddaddy his own grandfather that is is going after it because he's ahead and projects to protest is supposed to help figure out what's going on and I'm looking at those diamond footprint said we should test one he says you should and that was like what's the psychiatrist was saying you shouldn't say the word should namaste it was Dave and so I'm trying to think of something but this is aggravating I'm aggravating myself and others and we really need to drill down we know where some are so probably do that it's so damned annoying

Mac daddy

So we are going ahead and drilling and several locations yeah it's kind of stupid I guess we think we have time to reflect I don't have any time with this stupid f****** nonsense get that piece of s*** out of there I'm going to send orders put a pain so stupid we don't know what the hell we're doing we have to ask him it's because of these two s*** heads

Sherry was an escort, there was no other way to describe it. She had bills to pay, debt to settle, and little to no options to be hired. All she ever wanted to do was sketch and paint. However, jobs like these weren’t in great demand for Sherry, which was a shame. It felt like her talent was going to waste.

Still, Sherry knew she couldn’t give up, even if that meant she’d have to sell one of her greatest assets, her body. She was a very beautiful girl, anyone could see that, and she would use this to pay her debts. Was she proud of it, no, but she would do what she needed to survive and make it in this world.

At the time, Sherry was called to a hotel room where her client waited. Sometimes there was a man, other times it was a woman, Sherry didn’t discriminate. At the door, Sherry would adjust her outfit, and fix her hair before entering the hotel room with the key she received at the front desk.

Sherry then discarded her bag at the door’s entrance and wiped her partially sweaty hands on her outfit. She wore a red turtle neck with a long brown skirt, and some high boots. No one would have guessed she was an escort girl. With the sound of boots clanking against the tile floor, Sherry made her way to the bedroom where her client waited.

Nonchalantly Sherry walked right up to the chair they sat in. Leaning in close to them, Sherry rested a knee on the seat of the chair right between their legs. She gently took their face into her soft cool hands, slowly caressing their cheek with one hand, and running her fingers through their hair with another hand.

As big beautiful green eyes locked with her client’s herry whispered, “Hi, my name is Sherry. What’s your name?”

excellent.

ok so the first one i made is one of the kids in his group, and their name is Drew (nickname turned preferred name). Drew was 11 in 1999, and they were probably the closest with Shawn of all the kids! Drew had long red curly hair in 1999, and was constantly the emoticon :D

i have them meeting up with Shawn again in the end of 2006 (after scary sherry takes place). their dad is a philosophy professor who got a job opportunity at UCSB, so basically Drew hears abt Shawn in the papers and tracks him down. lmao

the second oc was another counselor at the camp, real name Corey and camp name Sea Turtle. he taught scuba diving and he was friends with Shawn because they both taught on the lake. (dont question why hes scuba diving in a lake ok)

Corey is basically just a stereotypical Beach Guy in looks (blonde, super tan, buff) and im soo tempted to make it so he and Shawn dated briefly

anyway thats them so far :]

ive already made two OCs based on @thats-godscomma's notes on shawn's job as a waterski counselor help

does anyone want to hear abt them
