#so why should I want to enage

[necromancy-savant]

Re: Judaism, there's a lot of things I want to say, but did you know that studies have shown the biggest predictor of religiosity is whether you think your role models actually adhered to their religious beliefs? Bc my dad did the exact opposite of what we were taught in synagogue: he shut down any questions, bullied us with his authority and expected perfect reverence, hated all other religions and is fervently Islamophobic, and told us that as long as we lived in proximity to him we were contractually obligated to believe whatever he believes, no questions asked. And there was only ever one right answer.

My mom stayed silent for fear of violence, I think. We were required to believe in a very literal god that controlled every second of our lives directly and would find a way to punish us if we stepped out of line (my brother says he prayed obsessively for years and years out of fear). We didn't keep Kosher and did the bare minimum for every holiday we even tried for, and we ignored most of them completely. My first and only cousins had a Christmas tree and said well we just say it's for Hanukkah. We were fed lies as kids at Hebrew school only to be told later as preteens that it was all bullshit, as if that would gain our trust. The second they divorced, my mom started going to church again.

They still treated us as kids as well as every adult there, and watered everything down for everyone so they could be as lazy as possible and not put any thought into their religion. It was like, if you don't take any of this seriously, then why on earth should I???????? At home, it was merely a tool of abuse and nothing more.

In the end, it's one of my biggest regrets out of my control that that's how I was introduced to Judaism. Bc now I only have negative associations and have spent my life trying to unlearn all my biases against it

Private Consumption

When we talk about media we don't want to support, often it is said to just go pirate it, buy it second hand, borrow it, buy then return it, to engage it. It removes the money from companies and maybe makes them a little mad, plus we still get to engage media we were excited about. It feels like it's a total win, to not give money to something and get to enjoy it despite it's whatever the reason you wanted to boycott it. However, I want to talk about some of the ways us consuming something for free still can end up supporting these pieces of art we don't want to end up supporting.

This feels particular important in the wake of bird apps every day cis person says they should be valorized for wanting to buy the game and loved by trans and Jewish people. Instead of engaging that discourse [quickly, you are a bad person if you play it, I'll block you].

Sharing

The first way simply playing a game supports it is sharing. When you share content you create a sense of community between other players which increases the likelihood of the art becoming more important to you and these people. This is only furthered by the fact that it is free marketing for these companies. Every time you post something, someone with no context into why you may be against something might see the screen shot, the panel, the little thing on your discord that says what your playing, the clip, the game, and think "Ohhh this looks cool and this person looks cool and seems to be enjoying".

Even reviewing something critically at least says "this is something worthy of conversation." So many pieces of art come out with basically no review, no press, nothing. Instead the art is treated as worthy of discussion, worthy of engagement. Even a "I have to see how bad this game is myself" can push people to enage art.

Fandom

In this modern era, companies are in the business of IP, they are in the business of attention. A bunch of people buying something second hand, pirating it might mean it's a perfect time to make a show, make a webseries, a podcast, etc. It says "This IP is still relevant". The success of art is not based purely on the money but fanfictions created, merch sold, advertisers they could sell to and sponsors. It's you attention, your fan art, you and I's passion that they want. They want us to see a little scarf of the IP and go "It's like when i was a kid or like my friends have" or whatever the fuck and spend money. The most valuable thing for them is the brand staying alive. They can tank a loss on a movie or a game or a comic. They can tank a few of them. So long as they think there is juice in the thing they are making the funko pop deals, the posters, the stuff won't stop.

Toxic

There is value in shared hate of something vile. Making something toxic for people, brands, etc to engage with means it will hurt the above fandom stuff. If you make it when anyone engages the IP they have to turn off comments or whatever then you lessened the desirability of the IP. Subway isn't going to do a deal with the IP if they know they'll get way more hate mail and people boycotting over it. Successfully making something seen as not worth the effort crashes the IP's ability to make money and market.

Time

I saved the most important part for last and that is that your time, yes your time, is the most important thing you have. You get 24 hours a day, of those hours you likely only get so precious few that aren't split between food, work, taking care of your body, and sleep. There is no way to regain time, every second you spend is spent forever.

This matter a lot in this context because the time you spend engaging in art could be spent on other art. If you are boycotting something for being antisemitic then you can go engage art from Jewish people instead. This can go for whatever reason your boycotting, like if you don't like the DLC practice of a video game, you could play an indie game that doesn't have that practice.

It's is/almost is 2023 now and the reality is every day there is so many movies, so many games, so many comics, so many mangas, so many tv shows and more all coming out every single day. It is simply impossible to engage a fraction of a fraction of new "content" coming out. With our global connection we have access to art from every piece of the world with works getting translated to every language, with the collective power of the human artistic drive we have a overwhelming amount of entrainment on our hands.

Why then spend it playing, reading, watching, something you hate? Something that offends your senses, hurts others, funds something terrible, why spend that time doing it? Your time matters, you matter, why not expand your horizons, dive into the deep sea of artistic possibility and find glorious new art that matters to you and speaks to you.

What's your perspective of the "JK hates JM" narrative? Or the "JK hates when JM touches him" narrative?

I personally think both are complete and utter bull. However, that does not seem to be true for a lot of other ARMYs. I have seen these narratives be passed around by shippers and non shippers, even til this day. I don't know if they cannot see around what is obviously a toxic narrative or they are just being purposely obtuse.

Here are some better questions they should ask themselves. (Insert that one gif of JK struggling to put his arm on/behind JM when he is standing beside him lol. They are have their backs to the camera.) One, why does JK sometimes hesitate touching JM? (They are obviously comfortable with each other. So why does touching JM make him nervous or hesitant?) Two, why should he be nervous when BTS have been together for years? Three, why does he only do this with JM? Four, why was JK so camera shy with showing a lot of affection to JM when, from what I remember, he was fine with the other members? JK and JM were obviously close back then. So what gives lol? Five, why does JK willingly touch JM when he hates JM touching him? Six, why does JK spend time outside of work with JM if he hates him? Furthermore, why go on an international trip to Japan for a few days and then make a video about a man he hates? I could go on but I figure that's enough for my rant. Have a nice day and I hope all these asks don't tire you out! All your perspectives and opinions on these things are very refreshing and I love your humor in them! Thanks😊

Aww thanks for the compliments anon!

Obviously I don't agree with that narrative even a little bit. JK has adored Jimin from the start. Your rant basically answered your own question! Lol I agree with basically everything you said! If you are wanting my opinions on the hypothetical questions you raised, we can do that! Let's go! And enjoy baby jikook as we do so!

IN MY OPINION:

1 and 2. Jungkook worries about lack of control. He worries about his own personal reactions on camera when jikook enage in skinship. And we know why. He melts when Jimin touches him sometimes he legit cannot help it. Unless he feels very in control of the situation, I think he is worried about his own reactions and therefore, simply avoids it sometimes otherwise he gets veryyy into it...

3. He only does this with JM because skin ship with this others doesn't have the same feeling and intentions behind it for him. He see him smile and enjoy the skinship, but we don't see him fully let go, embrace it and sink into like we see him do with JM. He isn't worried about his reactions to anyone else's touch, Jimin affects him differently

4. Basically all the same stuff. Worry about lack of control, unsure of how to handle affection. He had some very similar tells of a young boy with a crush who doesn't know how to always behave around said crush, especially when you are trying to navigate what those feelings might be, what you think about, build that friendship, work hard in a brutal industry and do it all with a camera shoved in your face. He is much more confident in who is he as a person lately and we haven't seen that type of behavior for years. We just see them goofing around. And a lot of their early year rough housing was actually started by Jimin. He would push first honestly. Those just tend to be cut out of the edited clips. But idk about you, JK looks pretty comfy curled up on JMs back here in 2013:

5. Because he doesn't hate it

6. Because he doesn't hate it and loves spending time with him. Lol

I know its all pretty simple answers, but basically it comes down to the fact that I just definitely agree with you and you are always welcome to rant! Thanks for the ask

ZEP SPOILER PREDICTION?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD, SO BEWARE...

BASED ON EPISODE 1x01 - 1x10 + MY PREDICTIONS FOR 1x11 - 1x12

LONG & RANTY POST. NOT SO “POSITIVE” THOUGHTS, SO BEWARE: 

So... I’ve had this “feeling” since the Pilot & I kinda got confirmation for my theory in this weeks episode. And if I combine it with the s1 finale (1x12) episode summary, then it could fit, because “Zoey tries to stop something bad from happening” according to the description. 

Everyone thinks that that’s related to her dad, but... ever since that spoiler came out, I’ve suspected it’s related to someone & something else (even though it is pretty certain her dad will be gone at the end of ep 1x11 or early 1x12). I think that’s a reference to something Simon related instead. 

Zoey’s first “real��� interaction with Simon was in the Pilot episode, when she heard him sing “Mad World”. In the latest episode, 1x10 he sang the same song again. And I am predicting that the song MIGHT even be heard the third time during the season...in the finale. (or maybe she’ll just come to realize why she heard him sing that again.. in 1x10)

We’ve seen how Simon has been unable to deal with his grief, to move on, to let go. We’ve seen how it has destroyed him, his relationships... everything. And if we listen to the lyrics (original song by “Tears for Fears”, the extra sad newer version by Gary Jules), and think of Simon’s behaviour (he really is the great pretender”!...as demonstated well in many little scenes in 1x02 & 1x03...for example), I think it’s possible he’s gonna try to go down the same path his dad did. And that’s the “bad thing” Zoey is trying to stop in the s1 finale. 

On this note: I can’t believe that Zoey still hasn’t figured out why Simon was put in her path..at this time. She’s not just supposed to help him, he’s supposed to help her. She’s supposed to learn from him and not make the same mistakes (since she’s not figured that out yet, she’s going down the same path as he is). Simon has been avoiding his grief, and it has made him a mess. He’s not talked with anyone about it..really, he’s not talked about it with his loved ones, and it lead to destroying himself, and his relationships. 

And guess what Zoey has been doing...ever since we met her? She’s avoiding dealing with “her daddy issues”, and it has made her a mess, and ruined many of her relationships (best friends, relatives...). Until she realizes that she’s not supposed to make the same mistakes, and she’s supposed to learn from him, it’s not good. She’s ignored or forgotten (by the next day) all good advice from her friends and family...on this.. and she can’t take it all on her own..she needs to share the grief with people who care about her... to be able to deal...with it all... 

Yet...

                      *************************************************

This weeks episode (1x10) did what I expected, and I know that the show is trying to claim everything Zoey is doing is affected by her grief...and that’s why she’s a mess, and that’s why... all... but I still can’t believe that (even if it’s the “anger” phase of her grief) she still hasn’t figured out that the lyrics of the songs that people sing tell her how she must help them. And she still, to this day, has not helped Simon with his grief. And according to the rules Mo wrote down...that’s “no good” - she must help the person singing...with the “problem” they have. She might’ve not wanted the power & it might not be fair to have to help people...especially at a time when she’s losing her dad... but they established that she must... in order to make all good. 

She can “hear” (thanks to her power) how Simon feels, and yet she hasn’t actively helped him with his grief. And I know the writers are trying to say that it’s because of her own grief (and going through the stages herself), but it has just surprised me how she focuses all her energy on pursuing the engaged (until recently) man...romantically... (obsessively, so), instead of helping him (and instead of focusing on the #1 man in her life..her dad... and I still can’t believe she’s avoided that til now... cause she’s wasted so much precious time... til the very last minute... and she now has so little time left with him...cause she’s been focusing all her energy on trying to repeat her past relationship mistakes... -- and go for the complicated, exhausting for everyone... option,-- ). She’s spent so much energy on obsessing over the engaged (til 4 days ago) man, while claiming she has no time for any romance... (her words & actions don’t match!). 

Her heart song to him in 1x08  also said “didn’t I see you crying?”, so she is (deep down) aware that that’s the emotional state she was him in, and yet they have not had a real, proper, discussion on how to deal with the grief! And hearing him sing the same song again in 1x10 should’ve told her that the man is still “stuck”...still... and that means she didn’t really help him...yet. Which means she must try to help him...again...til it works. (and in helping him she’ll help herself... and learn from his mistakes..and not repeat them..)

Also looking forward to the day when Zoey realizes that the thing that bothers her about Simon is what bothers Max about her: She doesn’t like that Max is pursuing her & yet she is pursuing Simon the same way....at a time when she claims she needs to focus on her dad. She doesn’t like that Simon has no clarity (doesn’t return her feelings... doesn’t want to start anything), but she doesn’t understand that she’s doing the same thing herself...to Max - she has no clarity herself. And if she’s allowed to not like how Simon doesn’t give her an answer & be upset that he doesn’t like her back...then it should be OK for Max to not like how she doesn’t give him/her BFF an answer & be upset that she doesn’t seem to like him back. 

The moment when she realizes tha parallels..is what I'm looking forward to. For her (and some of the viewers) to realize how the things that bother her about Max’s behaviour are parallel how she herself has behaved. (fans claim “Max is pushing Zoey to love him back & going after her...strong”, but what has she done all season? “Zoey has been pushing Simon to love her back & going after him...strong”) The two storylines are exactly the same. And that’s done on purpose on the show. 

She claims she has no time to focus on romance, cause she’s so caught up with her dad & grief, so it’s not the right time to pursue romance, yet she spends much of her screentime actively wishing for & pursuing a romace with Simon. She has the time to go to dinner with him (at a time when I expected her to practically move in with her parents...for the last few weeks), yet she doesn’t take time to actually get her BFF a “congrats on the promotion” gift...when in contrast she gets the “just-broke-up-his-engagement” man a housewarming gift... (she had 4 days to buy that pen/mouse... but she didn’t, but she got the plant for the same night. Same with telling Mo how she’s upset about the Simon news...while not even a mention of Max’s news - move to 6th floor. It’s like they really never were friends...cause she voices no concerns about losing a good programmer & friend...only “worrying” about her office crush...). #WhyAreTheyWritingHerLikeThat  #SheCanGoThroghTheAngerPhaseWithoutBeingExtraRude

To me..that shows just how much she really “cares”. And she might be grieving & a mess..but right now...she does not “deserve” Max...as her BFF (even though she needs her BFF...at this time) Until she’s done processing her grief & done some therapy, and focused on herself... she should do as she says, and focus on her dad, her family, herself. Make her words match her actions. (and yes, this latest ep provided that “turn” ..for her...and all the characters... as the sun will shine again...after the storm... but not before another “storm cloud” passes)

Or...in other news: I LOVED!!! how everyone told their truths to Zoey in this episode. She might be grieving & going through the stages of grief (but so are a lot of people around her....and they don’t create conflicts over this), but that doesn’t make it OK how she sometimes behaves. (Just like Simon grieving does not excuse any of his behaviour...where he was emotionally cheating on his fiancee, and kissing other women while still enaged... etc) So... the scenes where everyone told her the harsh truth...were some of my faves in this episode: Mo, her mom, (even Joan...through looks), Simon, and especially Max!) IMO she really needed to hear all of it! (and more) 

And this makes me sad that I am saying this, but... I wish Max/Zoey wasn’t the endgame...after all this. But it’s a fact that they are. But Max is a much better person than I am. And unlike me (I see the world in black & white only...and while I know it’s very human & all.. I am not a fan of “messy human feelings” -  it’s all just too irrational for my taste), he sees all the colours. And mostly...he loves her..unconditionally, so he’ll “forgive her”. But for me her indecisivness, “1 step forward, 2 steps back” w. Simon (”we’re done, this is over, no more” claims... which she takes back/forgets the very next moment/episode... because... -- she won’t be doing this no more.. but then she finds out his engagement ended...so she’s back obsessing over pursuing him...even though she just made a promise to herself to not do just that --) behaviour, and all that.. cannot be “excused” or “explained” with grief. It hasn’t worked...on screen...for me. But it has allowed some TOP acting from Jane, and Skylar, and John, and Alex...and everyone else. This  cast just keeps being amazing!

But no matter how much I’ll “fangirl” over the S1 finale M/Z moments and possible future M/Z endgame... for me it’s not the payoff... anymore (due to how S1 was written) ..it’s gonna be the unfortunate end result. Some people love TV drama, I just aren’t a fan of such messy drama... I’m simply too rational to get irrational behaviour (what writers & people call “very human” & “this is what grief & hurt does to a person”). I get the intent & get the reasons behind it, but it’s too irrational for me to like it. (cheating is cheating, you can’t take back what you’ve said/done...especially if you make the same mistake again...) #hurtpeoplehurtpeople

I’ve expressed some of these every thoughts in my previous tags and online comments... and now I just have confirmation from the ep that they did really take the exact route I did not ever want the show to take (once is a mistake, twice/three times is a pattern...). But nonetheless... M&Z is endgame. So...my only hope & wish is that there will be a S2, so we would see REALLY work on earning back her BFF (Max’s) trust and friendship. She has to work for it IMO. And she must be compleely honest with him...as she promised...and this now includes telling himall about her grief, “the triangle”, her moments with the engaged/just broken up man... That is the one thing that is a must. 

(And no, Max isn’t that much hurt because she didn’t ask him to stay or petty cause she doesn’t return the feelings, he’s upset cause no-one even came to say “good luck”, and his best friend didn’t even bother to get him the “good luck gift” - to him it’s like confirmation that they don’t care or appreciate him as a co-worker. It’s like his peer reviews... He’s said why he’s upset. And he’s not upset cause she doesn’t return his feelings, cause through her heart song he knows for a fact that she has romantic feelings for him + he noticed how she checked his body out (Mo’s makeover)...and that “she’s his”. He’s upset that even though she has feelings for him, she avoids them & him. And that she’s pursuing the engaged man, making him her second choice & no one wants to be the “other/second (wo)man””. She claims she can’t do more than friendship right now...cause of everything related to her dad & yet... she is pursuing more than friendship with the other guy... so once again she wasn’t honest with him... and that’s gotta hurt cause they’ve been BFFs forever...)

This latest episode, once again, used parallels...lots of them. 

Z: “You should know...what you did yesterday was really rough.”

M: “I was just..taking care of me. It wasnt personal.” 

Z: “When I told you aboout my powers, I also told you I was gonna be 100% honest with you, do you remember that? OK, so here’s the truth: I think it is personal. I think youre mad at me. Youre mad at me for not saying what you wanted to hear. And now youre trying to teach me some kind of a lesson.” 

M: “Oh, is that what you’re think?” 

Z: “That’s what I think. Why else would you take the 6th floor side? You’ve been there wor whoppin 2 days.”

M: “I dont know. Maybe because people actually like me on the 6th Floor. Do you know that Ava has said to me mor ein those 2 days than Joan  has in the last 5 years? Oh and it’s also a huge opportunity for me and my career. have you ever thought about that?” 

Z: “So you’re just gonna leave behind everybody that helped you get there? Is that the idea?” 

M: “See it how you wanna see it.” 

Z: “Nobody down here understands why Ava wanted you in the first place. Just FYI.” #ThisWasLowAndTotallyCruelThingsToSay

M: “Maybe it’s becase I’m a good person.” 

Z: “...or a very selfish one.” 

M: “YOU are calling ME selfish? Look... I have spent far too much time worrying about other peoples happiness more than my own. Especially yours. And I think that its finally time I focus on my own happiness for a change.” 

Once again the use dialogue about one relationship to parallel another relationship. If we change the words a bit & apply it in reverse, we get: 

M: “You should know...what you did yesterday was really rough.” [their 1x07/1x08 conforntation - her revealing she has feelings for him...but then taking back the words & running to another man... while claiming your focus has to be only on your dad]

Z: “I was just..taking care of me. It wasn’t personal.”

M: “When you told me about your powers, you also told me you were gonna be 100% honest with me do you remember that (Think back... have you really been that?)? OK, so here’s the truth: I think it is personal. I think you’re mad at Simon. You’re mad at Simon for not saying what you wanted to hear. And now youre trying to teach me/him some kind of a lesson.”

Z: “Oh, is that what you’re think?”

M: “That’s what I think. Why else would you avoid your best friend & obsess over an engaged man...while claiming you can’t deal with romance at this time when you should focus all your energy on your dad? You’ve known the new guy for a whopping 2+ months...compared to your best friend of 5 years.”

Z: “I dont know...:” 

M: “So you’re just gonna leave behind everybody that helped you get here (ditch your best friend, end your traditional movie nights together, dive into yet another overly complicated-exhausting for everyone-not good relationship with an engaged & grieving man...? You’re avoiding the most important man in our life = your dad, & dealing with your grief, you’re pushing away your best friend, whose always been there for you. And you’re opening up to a stranger instead of your best friend...and saying that’s a positive behaviour. Is that the idea?”

Z: “See it how you wanna see it.”

And Max’s decision in 1x09 & 1x10 was explained by Zoey's speech in 1x09..once again the two storylines are parallels as I already mentioned after last ep: 

Z: “I will never be “the other woman”. Nonetheless..I care about you. A lot. We have a chemistry & a bond that’s undeniable. And I guess I was hoping that after the kiss you’d have some clarity... about all of it. Clarity ... you still don’t have. And maybe never will. So... I have to make a change.... instead of just sitting around, and waiting...and hoping for something to happen...So..this is me...saying to you...officially... I can’t, and I won’t do this anymore. 

If we change the words a bit & apply that to M/Z, we get  why Max made his decision & what he’s really saying to her: 

M: “I will never be “the second choice (when youre my first...but clearly I am only 2nd choice for you)”. Nonetheless..I care about you. A lot. We have a chemistry & a bond that’s undeniable. And I guess I was hoping that after the heart song you’d have some clarity... about all of it. Clarity ... you still don’t have. And maybe never will. So... I have to make a change [move to 6th floor, putting distance between us].... instead of just sitting around, and waiting...and hoping for something to happen...that might never happen. So..this is me...saying to you...officially... I can’t, and I won’t do this anymore.”    

She is a complete mess & she still doesn’t realize the parallels. How what bothers her about Max’s behaviour (towards her) is exactly what bothers Max about her behaviour. If she feels she “has the right” to be upset with Simon over these things (no clarity, not telling her he likes her back), then she has to realize that her BFF also “has the right” to be upset with her...over the same things. And she keep projecting...her own fears and denial..into others. And I get what the writers wanted to say, but for me personally... it’s made me dislike the character, and the writing, and all, because I don’t really “understand” why she/writers would “excuse” it all with her grief making her “act crazy”. She keeps avoiding her best friend & her dad’s situation.

We know that it’s because with Max she’s got a lot to lose (the connection is deeper, there’s more to lose), while with Simon it feels “easy” and theres nothing to lose, cause they don’t have that deep connection. Just grief bond....which she keeps mixing with something other. And she doesn’t listen to reason from her friends: Mo, Max... and they can’t help her get through this all if she won’t let them in... 

And in the next eps...when THE DAY she’s been most scared of..arrives (her dad), shes gonna need her best friend, Max. And he’ll need her, cause he was close to Mitch, too. So they’re both gonna acively grieve. But before that they needed/need to “have hard conversations” and be completely honest with each other. The 1x10 “fight” was the turning point, now they just need time to figure things out...separately (as individuals, not as a duo) and realize...things.

Ice age is so much dunker if you imagine every single character is a gay man. Small ugly annoying twink pisses off gym gays who try to beat him up, forcing gruff old bear to take action. Twink is obsessed with bear. Meanwhile ex-military traditionally handsome gay is enaged in cagey action with his buds. Cannibalism! This shit is like moses! She puts her baby in the river! Twunk boss is a Donald Trump. Save the baby! Wasn’t mannys family killed by people? HA gruff cynical bear forced to adopt baby with ugly twink. Ellie is 100% a lesbian. This twunk wants to commit cannibalism. But oddball gay couple does not want the twunk to commit cannibalism. Twunk is like weirdly into ugly twink? “Stop swinging that thing around””I ain’t exactly lactatingright now” . The twink is playing football for his son!!! THEY COMMITED GENOCIDE TO FEED THEIR SON. THEY KILLED THE DODOS AND TOOK THEIR RESOURCES. twink wants bear to kiss him goodnight ahhhh.

Why is Diego in a cannabalism cult? How did he get involved in that? I guess the us really doesn’t support their veterans. THE SLOTHS HAVE HEART SHAPED BOOBS. Syd really . The baby’s people murder mannys family, but manny is helping the baby anyways . THE SONG. Oh now twunk and bear the dad’s and they have a baby and a baby gay. Baby gay can Ice skate . The small foreign man wants his nuts. Sometimes a family is three gay men, a baby, and the “send me on my way” song. Taffy tongue . Syd stumbles along a museum of mummified human remains. This movie is about a race war.

A post apocalyptic race war. It’s the Romeo and Juliet of our ages. Manny has a savior complex. What is ice age if not a metaphor for homosexuality. Everybody wants to eat manny. Syd lord of the flame. Iconic throuples. Final hot take, they should have kept the kid. The next 5 movies would be about them raising the kid. It could be a sitcom.

Actually a movie about the kid post movie would be cool. Like yeah my mom died but these three gay dudes rescued me from a cannibal cult. They thanks the bear by giving him a necklace made from the bones of your people

Justice and critical thinking

As a student you are encouraged to critically engage with your sources, never taking anything at face value. It is one of the benefits of a university education, especially humanities courses where you are exposed to a wide degree of sources. In an age where we are bombarded with sources every minute of every day, mentally we short cut this process and have to make spot decisions as to the veracity of a source, often taking friends/peers/colleagues opinions as ballast in helping decide. Given the churn of information this is understandable, but at the same time leaves us all vulnarable to mis-information and mis-direction.

Much has been written already about the impact of social media and ready access to this churn of information on our lives. One of the less covered areas is this idea of critical engagement, for while being caught up in our own bubbles is very much under the microscope, the art of engagement is cautiously left to the side. This matters because each of us is considered responsible for our own worldviews, the perspectives we accept, and the outflow of ideas we produce. However, no-one is an island of ideas, we are all the sums of our influences, some more subtle than others. It is easy to pin-point where we got some ideas from, yet often the most profound influences on our lives come from subtle, discrete sources that seep into our ways of thinking. The constant stream disengages and discourages us from analysing our own modes of thinking, actively scurrying us from one post to the next, laying out a worldview that is easy for us to consume.

So where does justice sit in this? Justice is ephemeral, for it is both the obvious legal justice meted out by courts and the police, and the hidden sort that society weilds to keep dissenters inline. Social media is very good for whipping up social justice, manufacturing outrage and demanding action. Often this is the zeitgeist for all of society, May/June 2020 being a case in point, but under all of that is a complex web of ideas and philosophies, agendas and ground axes. No source is unbiased, no agenda truly neutral. I firmly believe that there are hills to take stands on, ideals to plant your flag in, yet it is very easy for those hills to crumble and turn in to prisons of the mind unless we actively engage in why we take those stands. By enaging our critical thinking faculties we are able to better appreciate and enact justice, to see that justice is not just about the end result, but about the collective effect just actions have across all of society.

So why should you care? Why should you take the time to analyse the sources you come across? Becuase it is not just about the other person, not just about any collective ideas. While it is simple to say that morality is fixed and we as a society have a cogent idea of rights and liberties, those same morals, rights, and liberties shift and morph as society’s mood shifts and wefts into a new form. By simply accepting an idea you are drawn along with this shifting and metamorphing of society, a raft on the river without a paddle to help steer you in the direction you may want to go in. This is not to say that you should spend all your energy fighting against the flow; rather have a conscious understanding of why you believe in an idea, and most importantly what ideas you personally would stand on that hill and die on. Justice, both legal and social, depends on us all having an awareness and critiquing of what morals, laws, and ideas are being expounded. Without critique abuse, injustice, and inequality sit comfortably. With critique a light is cast on iniquity, and justice can be served.

I appreciate that this short hand for a far more complex set of moral and ethical questions, especially the very notion of moral relativism and what justice actually is. However, all I ask is that you critically enage with sources, question what agendas they are trying to promote, and look for ways to build your own map of the world that promotes a more just and equitable world.

my conversation (through voice message) trying to get my friend out of an MLM

me: I'm really worried this is an MLM even though you say it's not. Are you sure?

friend: Hi, so it's actually called 'affiliate marketing'! If you watch the webclass it explains more in detail but our sales just go over and down the line. Not all the way up to a top human who gets all the money and we do all the work. It's okay to be skeptical. We've all been brought up to believe 'if it looks too good to be true it is', but I've got lots of videos from others in the business and my own personal testimony to prove that we are who we say we are. If you're interested just go watch the webclass.

me: So, it's kind of like the affiliate links?

friend: Yeah, it's exactly like that! And if all you do is purchase that's where it ends but there's an option in it where you can be on my team to distribute.

friend: And so where it's different from MLM/Pyramid Scheme bullshit is that we have a compensation plan that's patented, so no other company can use this. And basically our sales go over and down, like, you...and you create a line, basically. There's no pyramid, no stacking. So what that entails is also we have ranks, and ranks are really important. So, if I sell to my friend Danielle, and Danielle sells a bunch more than I do, or promotes the business really well, or is better at building a team than me, she could rank up higher than me, and then she could make more money than me even though she's below me.

me: *that is literally just a whack pyramid scheme*

friend: So, it's an 8-point payout system, so basically think of a pie chart with eight pieces. If you're a certain level, so if you're a 1A, you just get the A commission, just one piece. But there are obviously ranks that are hella higher than that, like if you're a 4A, you get four pieces. Say you're a 6A, and your 4A sells a machine, and they get their four points of commission, Enagic (the company) only pays out eight points, so even though you're a 6A, you're going to receive four. That's why we're not multilevel.

me: *oh my god that's still multilevel*

friend: I don't know if that was clarifying enough! If not definitely watch this little webclass she's so informative. *sends link*

me: *is doing extensive research about all this shit and doesn't click link*

friend: Also, it's not scary, the only thing that this link does is link you to me, for if you were to join or affiliate. And it only links you to me for three months. So if for any reason within the three months you want to pursue someone else within this business, that's allowed. So there's nothing permanent or scary about this, it doesn't take your card info or anything. Completely free.

me: *doesn't click link*

me: Do you get a steady income with this company, or is it a side hustle?

friend: So for right now it's a side hustle, but I did quit my second job because of it.

me: *SCREAMS*

friend: You do get steady income once you build your team up to the point where they're doing well, but it's a lot of energy exchange and putting time into these people and into your business. And obviously way down the line, like my friend Amelia started Breakaway Movement and she's been doing it for two years, and she's just achieved the rank of 6A2-3, and this is where your steady income starts. SO she got a $30,000 bonus, and she gets $5,000 a month for life, which is super cool because she can pass that residual income on to her kids. And this is on top from the commissions she's already receiving. So that can happen, but you have to work your butt off.

friend: For example, my first sale, I'll make anywhere from $700 to over $1,000, and that's only for one person. I have friends who started last month and have already made $8,000, granted they've had entrepreneurial experience, but it is something that can happen if you allow yourself to receive it.

me: *pulling my hair out and wanting to scream JESUS CHRIST THIS IS A PYRAMID SCHEME YOU DUMMY*

me instead: So like just to be clear I’m 100% just saying this because I care about you, like I know for everyone who’s skeptical about something there are five people who are gonna contradict me and that’s fine I’m just offering my opinion. But I have two red flags about this stuff and I really am just doing it to look out for you.

me: *gently launches into a long bio/chem/physiology diatribe about how alkaline water really just violates BASIC laws of chem/phys and reasons people get results from this stuff is because they think it's so good for them so they drink MORE of it, and water is great for you so your body is like YUM and of COURSE your skin gets better, you lose weight, you feel healthier, YOU'RE DRINKING WATER. Your body is DESIGNED to hustle itself to keep internal pH between 7.3-7.4 and alkaline water won't hurt you but it doesn't really do much. But in developed nations buying a $4,000 water filter system is just...not...worth it.*

me: And I also found something about Breakaway online that I think you should see, but I'm doing this as a friend and feel free to disregard everything I'm saying.

me: *sends screenshot of a subreddit of people exposing the girl who started Breakaway because she USED to be in an MLM with the same company but basically just...in a shady way recreated the same scheme with herself at the top? (link if you want)*

friend: I know you're not trying to like, fight me on any of this and you're doing it as a friend, but we actually have doctors and scientists talking about this since it is actually a Medical Grade Machine. I don't have all of that info, because it kind of flies over my head, but I know people who know about that stuff.

me: *WHY WOULD YOU SELL SOMETHING THAT CLAIMS TO AFFECT PEOPLE'S HEALTH WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SELLING I*

friend: If you want some more scientific information, I could maybe find someone who could help explain it to you. I just read a story recently on our message boards about a girl with a bunch of chronic illnesses who was healed from it, and her husband is a science teacher.

me: *rolling eyes, maybe it'll clear up my bad case of epilepsy*

friend: And as for the MLM comments, as a human on the inside who sees everything this company has to offer, this just isn't an MLM...by definition. But we're about network marketing and affiliate lines, totally not MLM.

friend: *goes off about how there's a HUGE difference between alkaline water and alkalized water*

me: *god i don't care about the water i only said all that to not directly say THIS IS A SCAM YOU'RE IN AN MLM DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB FOR THIS*

me instead: Okay well I'm sure you know more than me because you're more involved! I just skeptical of any type of networking where you have to like go down any sort of line or there's anyone at the top and it's about climbing.

friend: Our platform is super centered on genuine personal connection, like I don't go door to door, I just post my content (she's a YouTuber) and try to make a team and just...I can't think of the words...

friend: To just have this team and platform that's pure. I don't want their money. I want to help them change their life and be their mentor, if that makes sense.

friend: I totally understand your skepticism, but it's not about climbing on top of people or anything, it's just climbing in rank.

me: *christ am i actually trying to teach someone the definition of a word here*

friend: But if you have that mindset, maybe just...sales aren't your calling in life, which is 100% perfect for your journey and your life. But I hold the view that money is energy, and if you want to watch my friend Amelia, when she got her bonus she gave away $15,000 just because she could. These aren't evil people.

me: *she SAID she gave it away in a YOUTUBE VIDEO. give me receipts. also at the moment sales are my life i'm whoring myself out to 5 different colleges*

me instead: Wow, that's amazing!

friend: *sends me a link explaining alkalized water, source is the site from her company*

me: *leaves the chat*

Last night got me thinking 🤔 While talking with my best friend & S/O whom I love so dearly about our goals for this year. . . And when I say GOALS I mean true goals big or small it doesn’t matter 👏🏽😆 Soooo... If you haven’t made a list yet, you should because I want to inspire someone today and it’s very motivating, and nothing get’s me more motivated and happy 😃 then a list about what to accomplish through out the weeks, months and your year! Because a goal without a dead line is just simply a wish. And you can’t use manifestation without actions. But when you put your mind into place the action should automatically happen right? Wrong that’s why a list works best! 🙌🏼 At least for me, it’s like a little reminder to light that fire 🔥 under your A$$. 🍑☝🏼 So I map out my day and what it consists of. We are all a creature of habit so start creating good habits that will benefit your future and watch the magic happen. 🤜🏼✨🤛🏼 “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change” -Albert Einstein . . But for a minute let’s be realistic hitting the check marks on my day to day calendar 📆 has never been my thing ,but NOW it’s a must with a mommy schedule. I use to be a just go with the flow kind of person, stop and smell the flowers for way to long, a free free spirt, no plans, just do whatever I feel like, free schedule, only working for myself and have my lazy days more often then I should have WOM WOM The difference between then and now is I have to plan with a child and I have a drive to make an income for my family and I’m actually getting really good at it. . . So If you have some goals for 2019! Go ahead and comment them below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ write them down and put them into action! And I’ll share mine in a different post. Everyone have a lovely day! _________________________________________ • • • #workfromhome #jogging #enagic #green #babyboy #motivation #doit #goals #behappy #vegan #blogger #lifestyleblogger #veganbaby #amazoninfluencer #change #happinessisachoice #flowers (at Fish Hawk, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBxqYVhDL3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11tiwleqm43ld

lmao tumblr said i gotta shut up. how do you have paragraph restrictions embedded in the server that makes no sense. anyway. another small part of my brain keeps telling me to just move back to europe. but like on my own. but also in madrid to live with my cousins. but thats… silly. ah i finally understand the “you cant just run away from your grief/problems/emotions” movie cliches lmaoooo

let me stop fucking crying and go answer my job. dont read this

[kashilascorner]

Just rewatched Titan AE for the first time in about 15 years and there is so much about it I love. Not just the nostalgic feeling (I watched it a lot when I was a child), but the actual movie. The visuals, character and sound design, the soundtrack and the premise are all great. Some parts don’t hold up too well, but overall the animation still looks solid and even truly great at times. The voice cast is solid. The premise, as I said, is great and the plot in itself is not bad. The movie is also too short, and coming from someone who 95% of the time considers media lasts longer than it should, that is saying something.

For example, the character arcs for Cale (the protagonist) and Korso (the antagonist? antihero? antivillain?) aren’t bad, but the changes in their journeys go too fast. So oh no, Korso is evil! but wait, he actually became a good guy and ultimately sacrificed himself! The side characters needed more time to develop and Akima while being badass and cool lacks any sort of depth and while not falling into the “girl of the group” category, we have to buy this romantic subplot that’s like out of nowhere (tbh all the characters suffer from this, Cale and Korso only a little less than the rest).

The plot is not bad, quite the contrary, but it needed more time to develop. In order to achive a truly enaging storytelling, they should have approached it as a wider experience. When Akima and Cale find themselves in a human colony of refugees? That was great! It was a very nice touch and marks a point of no return in Cale’s personal journey. A more sociological and collective storytelling would have benefited the movie inmensely because it did benefit the movie when it was used. That being said, there are 2 major things that don’t make much sense:

1. why would the key to Titan, and therefore humanity’s salvation, is only in Cale’s ring? That doesn’t make sense at all. Titan was surely developed by a whole team so how come the son of this one guy got the key to it and only he can do the magic trick? Nope. Doesn’t make sense. This was a terrible misuse of the “chosen one” trope. I can understand why it was only Cale’s dad who piloted the ship and hid it. It’s forced but ok. But something as important as the Titan should fall in the hands of a whole group of people, not just a random white kid. And if he is the only one left with the map, then say so! explain what might have happened to the others! That being said, another thing about the Titan bothers me and it’s the fact it needs a truly potent source of energy to work (I mean it basically created a whole liveable plante from scratch). In the begining, Cale’s father talks about how humanity had found a source of energy so big it threatened the Drej and resulted in them destroying Earth. However, by the end of the movie, it is clear that Titan could only work with a source of energy as big as the Drej themselves (being an alien species made of pure engergy). Therefore, either the source that Titan was going to use became unavailable when Earth was destroyed or the Drej attempted to destroy humans because humans were a threat to their very existence. Which is something I honestly don’t think the writers even considered but has some truly profound and honestly creepy connotations.

2. this is not a plothole, but related to the characters being underdeveloped with maybe the exception of Cale. Why on Earth would Korso want to give Titan to the Drej and how did he convince Akima and the others to join him and how is it they didn’t notice anything at all. Korso says it’s because humans are doomed anyway, so he’ll get his money and give them the Titan. And it’s not that it isn’t “good” motivation, it’s that it needed more time to be explored. His fatherly relationship to Cale also needed to be explored in order to show Korso’s ultimate fate as something more compelling. Reading between lines, it’s not only that Korso was disenchanted but maybe he was also bitter at Cale’s dad (Korso is very much explicity left out the Titan in the beginning of the film) and/or he knew something about Titan not working due to the lack of an appropiate energy source. Also related but not on the “things that bother me/things I which the movie had approached better” side, I have seen people compare Cale to Jim Hawkins and let me tell you guys nope. I mean, if you're talking treasure planet one I guess, but looking at the original it's not that Cale is like Jim Hawkins, it’s that Korso is very much a a Long John Silver rip-off. Which is great, don’t get me wrong, don’t we all love the old bucaneer?

I’ll admit it for once and say this movie could use a prequel, spin-off or even a remake. It is an idea worth exploring even with the limitations the original team faced. A sequel could be interesting too but simply developing this one story and it’s background would be ideal.

[edreamcatchers]

Clarity, or the lack thereof

I lack clarity.

I thought I had it, but I realise that I lack it. Just because I had the slides and the notes and the coaching, I thought I had it, but turns out I didn’t.

I have the “know like” bit down. But I don’t have the “trust” at all. And this is the clearest when even my best friends, who’d trust me in any other area, do not show the least bit of interest because this very vital ingredient is missing.

I also lack visibility, where it matters.

I’m reaching for low-hanging fruit with posts about Z, which -- although is fun to write and I love doing it -- is not serving any interest other than my interest, the “know like” bit. 

It’s also very possible that my ideal client is NOT hanging out on my friends list.

I’m looking for someone very similar to me, I guess, and my closest bet is mummy groups.

Anyhow, I thought a little about it today, and how maybe I should split the 2 facets (the product and the business) and run with both, rather than just insist on the business bit. My real focus is the business aspect, but I could possibly get people interested in the product first, then bring in the business.

This isn’t rocket science -- it’s what all the Enagic fellas are doing, but why is it so damned hard for me to figure out how to position myself?

I’m neither getting interest from the jobless OR the jobbed because of the trust factor -- I can’t convince them it’s easy because the truth is, I’m finding it hard myself. 

My first challenge is to ramp up my visibility. Because with what am I going to be visible with? The health focus? The money focus? I want the money focus, but I have to add a spin to it. So I’m trying to make it the impact-money focus (make an impact, with benefits).

Next challenge is to provide value, for nothing in return. But what value? What’s relevant to my focus? I actually came up with a pretty workable idea in the wee hours of the morning.

How about short e-book about 10 women who are successfully doing something from home? With a health focus. Like a magazine feature with a Q&A. One from a particular field. Someone who’s making handmade products (Asha, Harminder?), someone who’s making food products from home (Arrie?), someone dropshipping (easy to find, I’ll go with someone I’ve bought something from - needs a health focus), someone in e-commerce (Sylvia?). In exchange for their input, I’d plug them in my ebook. Would be nice if I could get a multi-cultural representation. I just realised I haven’t bought any products from a Malay lady besides Maya. I should look around. Does tailoring have a health focus? Haha. Cos the lady who changed my ring sling shoulder could be a great one to include. 

It would make use of my skills as a writer, and that could very well be a lead magnet my ideal audience (someone who wants to be an entrepreneur from home) would download. 

Only thing is I have to get my email system sorted out. I have no idea who to choose. (Update: decided to just go with Mailchimp for now since I’ve already set that up. My list is zero; I have nothing to fear.)

OK! Slightly more clarity than 24 hours ago. 

Good.

Progress, not perfection.

Oh! One other thing I forgot. I should drop the “blurfish” part from my bios because Deepshikha’s advice is to position yourself as an expert. Blurfish doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. I’m learning from my mistakes as I go along.

Still mulling over the adventurer/evangelist archetypes. Leaning towards evangelist because we’re going to right the wrongs of the world (right?!).

Leonardo DiCaprio keeps low profile in baseball cap as he attends art exhibition in Miami Beach  | Daily Mail Online

As well as a being an A-list Hollywood star, he is also an art connoisseur and has amassed an impressive collection of works.

And Leonardo DiCaprio put his creative love to the forefront on Wednesday as he attended the Art Basel exhibition in Miami Beach.

The Revenant star, 45, kept a low profile in a baseball cap and black hoodie as he chatted to friends among other guests. 

You can't see me: Leonardo DiCaprio, 45, kept a low profile in a baseball cap and black hoodie while attending the Art Basel exhibition in Miami Beach on Wednesday

The star looked animated as he talked and displayed a relaxed half-smile in his exciting surroundings. 

The exhibition featured work from more than 200 of the world's modern and contemporary art galleries.

One work on display was 'The Flag is Bleeding' by American Artist Faith Ringgold.

Leonardo tends to favour paintings by postmodernist masters. 

I know why I'm here: The star looked animated as he talked and displayed a relaxed half-smile in his exciting surroundings

His collection includes art by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ed Ruscha, Frank Stella and legendary comic book artist R. Crumb.

He also obtained a painting on sale from Christie's by Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami, a favorite of rapper Kanye West who illustrated the cover for his Graduation album.

In 2017, the A-lister enaged in a 45-minute negotiation to buy an $850,000 illustration by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. 

Listen: The Titanic actor appeared deep in conversation at the gallery in Miami Beach

Impressive: One work on display was 'The Flag is Bleeding' by American Artist Faith Ringgold

The Wolf of Wall Street star and officials with the New York-based art gallery Van de Weghe were holed up in a private room at the Miami Beach Convention Center attempting to iron out the details at a VIP preview, according to the New York Post.  

Wire, produced by Basquiat in 1983, is a side sketch of a man with labels affixed to his teeth, knee, stomach, scapula and liver. 

In a titular reference, there's a quote that reads, 'Keep your hands off that wire.'   

Leonardo's latest art browse comes after his girlfriend, Camila Morrone, defended the 23-year age gap between the pair. 

Adding to my collection: In 2017, the A-lister enaged in a 45-minute negotiation to buy an $850,000 illustration by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat (pictured)

The actress, 22, spoke with The Los Angeles Times, where she was asked about her relationship with DiCaprio, who she has been dating since late 2017.

While many thought her July Instagram snap of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart (who had a 25 year age gap) was a clap back at haters of her relationship, she insisted it was just because she loves 'classic Hollywood' though she admits people judging her relationship does bother her.

'There's so many relationships in Hollywood — and in the history of the world — where people have large age gaps,' said Morrone, who is promoting her new movie Mickey and the Bear. 

'I just think anyone should be able to date who they want to date,' she added. 

The actress did concede that she understands why her relationship has garnered the interest of so many, adding, 'I probably would be curious about it too.'

Now and Forever

Emily Prentiss x Reader

Anon: An emily x reader where they're enaged and then emily 'dies' and the reader is absolutely distraught and can't cope or anything and then she comes back and for the next few weeks they're glued to the hip and it's really angsty and fluffy??

A/N:  It’s been a while since I’ve watched this episode, so if I get any information wrong, then that’s why.  I would rewatch the episode, but I’m ocd and don’t want to lose my place where I am, so I just looked up as much information on IMDB as possible.  And for possible copyright purposes, I used a quote/dialogue from IMDB as well.  :)  Slight flood warning, this is a long one!

She stood up as JJ walked back into the waiting room.  Being forced to wait here while her wife was in there being poked and prodded didn’t sit well with her.

“How is she?” she asked, her voice peaking with worry.

JJ’s eyes watered as she looked at Y/N, Emily’s wife-to-be.  She began to shake her head, almost unable to utter what she spoke next.  “She never even make it off the table.”

Her eyes no longer held back the tears that were begging to fall.  Her fiance was gone, and she didn’t even get to tell her a proper goodbye.

“I’m so sorry, Y/N,” JJ whispered as she pulled the now sobbing woman into her arms, holding her carefully.  The other agents stood up, tears flowing from their eyes as their sad expressions were fixed on the now broken woman in front of them, a woman who usually stood taller than most.  She was the strongest of the bunch, but not now.  

Now she was the most vulnerable, felt the smallest.  She felt like the weak one as JJ rubbed her back soothingly, trying to comfort her as she dawned over the fact that Emily was gone, that there was nothing that would bring her back.

Spencer came up behind her, letting his eyes pour tears freely down his cheeks as he wrapped his arms around her frame, pulling her close as JJ stepped away.  Garcia and Derek approached and joined the sad hug, all crying at their loss.

JJ nodded to Hotch and walked her to the next room over, telling him something that may or may not have been important.

The fact was, Emily was dead, gone forever, and in that room were all the people she left behind without being able to say goodbye.

Now she was only a part of their memories, a small fraction engraved in their brains and she would never again get to open her eyes to lay them upon her family, the agents she loved most and the woman she loved more than anything in the world.

She would never get to smell the fresh scent of coffee again, or get to feel the cold winter air upon her skin.  Her senses were diminished with her spirit, and she was just gone.

And that’s what tore Y/N up the most.

She was asked if she wanted to help carry the casket, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.  So instead, the rest of her team carrying it through the cemetery as she waited at the hole in the ground they were to bury her in.

Everyone’s head were hung low as they lowered the casket into the gaping hole in the earth, watching as it lowered six feet under.  The all stood in a line, and one by one, each of them grabbed a handful of dirt from the mound left beside and threw it onto her coffin, each muttering sad “I love you’s” and “I’ll miss you’s”.  But when it was Y/N’s turn, she didn’t mutter a single word as she picked up a handful of the soil and threw it onto her fiance, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

JJ and Hotch watched on with heartbroken expressions, a guilty look passing between the two of them, but Y/N didn’t notice.  She was much too focused on the hole beneath her, symbolizing the hole she felt in her chest.

Finally, she let a tear drop from her iris, watching as it fell into the earth below.  She let it soak into the soil that would forever hold the love of her life before she walked away, not stopping to listen to the service, and instead heading back to the limo, asking the driver to take her home without as much of a goodbye to her teammates.  She couldn’t do it, listen to anyone talk about the beautiful life that belonged to the beautiful soul that was Emily Prentiss.  She couldn’t hear anyone utter her name without falling apart completely, so she had to leave.

She just wanted to go home, so that’s what she did.

Sergio climbed up to the top of the bed, pressing his paws gently into Y/N’s sleeping face.

“Alright, I’m up.  You are so relentless,” she said sleepily, swiping at him to get off her.  She looked through her narrowed eyes at the clock on the bedside table.  It was well past noon.  She sighed and flipped over, staring at the empty side of the bed.  It wasn’t supposed to be empty, but it was.  And it would be that way for the rest of her life.

Sergio meowed and pawed at her feet which were peaking out from the sheets.

“Okay, I’m getting up,” she told the cat, gently kicking him away as she climbed slowly out of bed, trudging out of the bedroom she used to share with her true love and made her way to the kitchen, starting up a brew of coffee.

The cat meowed as he brushed against her legs, feeling her sadness radiate off her, wanting to comfort her in any way he could.

Y/N sighed as she peered down at the feline, bending over to pick him up and cuddle him close.

“I’m sorry, Serg,” she whispered.  “I’ve been cranky.  I’ll get better, I promise.”  She gave him a quick peck on his furry head before setting him back down.  Just ask his paws began to roam the floor, her cell phone rang.

She ignored it, just like she’d done in the past month, pretending to be dealing with her problems, when really she just wanted to be alone.  

As it continued to ring, she poured herself a cup of coffee, not bothering to put any cream and sugar in it as she sipped on the black liquid as her phone finished ringing.  Standing in the kitchen, she stared out the window at nothing and sipped her coffee.  It was the same thing she did every day when she woke up.  Since the inevitable happened, this was her routine and she stuck to it.  It was unhealthy, but it didn’t really matter to her.  Nothing did anymore.

Suddenly, her doorbell rang.  She sighed with a roll of her eyes and sat down the coffee cup before heading towards the door, listening for the voice she knew she’d hear.

“Y/N?”  JJ’s voice was slightly muffled by the wooden door between them, but the sternness was loud and clear in her tone.  “You have got to stop this.  I know what you’re going through.  We all do.  You’re not the only one who lost her, don’t you understand that?  But we’re coping with it, and you moping around in your empty apartment and still not coming to work is not going to help.  You need to talk to someone.  I know that’s the last thing you want to do, but it’ll help.  Maybe it won’t but it doesn’t hurt to try.”

A tear fell down Y/N’s cheek as she sighed, trying to collect herself before opening the door to JJ, whose eyes were also red and puffy.  As soon as they locked eyes, she broke again, letting out the sobs she’d held back for so long.  JJ enveloped her, cradling her warily as she cried the tears that she hid away since her fiance left her.  And together they cried until they just couldn’t cry anymore.

Things were seeming to get back on track.

Y/N was back at the bureau, saving lives every day like she always wanted to do.  But suddenly their team was in jeopardy, and Ian Doyle was back, the man who tore apart her life.

“What’s going on?” she asked as she entered the conference room.  JJ and Hotch had called the team in for a meeting, saying they head something important and most likely shocking to tell them.

“Is this about Doyle?” Y/N asked hurriedly, knowing she wanted in every fiber of her being to kill him and do to him what he did to Emily.

“I need you all to listen carefully,” Hotch said as he nodded to JJ, prompting her to close the door.

“Seven months ago, I made a decision that affected this team.  As you all know, Emily had lost a lot of blood after her fight with Doyle.  But the doctors were able to stabilize her and she was airlifted from Boston to Bethesda under covert exfiltration.”

Y/N felt her face heat up and water collect at the corners of her eyes.

“Her identity was strictly need-to-know, and she stayed there until she was well enough to travel.  She was reassigned to Paris where she was given several identities, none of which we had access to for her security.”

“She’s alive?” Penelope asked with teary eyes.  Y/N’s heart felt like it was going to leap out of her chest.

“But we buried her,” Spencer said quietly, his lips gaped a tiny sliver.

“As I said, I take full responsibility for the decision.  If anyone has any issues, they should be directed towards me,” Hotch finished, looking pointedly at Y/N.

“Any issues?  Yeah, I got issues,” Morgan said angrily, taking a step.  His fists were clenched at his sides, trying to surpress the extreme anger that began to boil inside him.

Y/N continued to look at Hotch, their eyes locked for a long time.

“Emily’s alive?” she asked quietly.  

“I understand if you’re angry-”

“She has been walking on this planet for the past seven months while we sat here thinking she was dead?” she asked, interrupting her boss.

“Oh my god,” Penelope muttered through her tears as the door opened.

And there she was.

Emily was here, in the flesh, alive and real.  Y/N wide eyes fixated on the woman she fell in love with.

The room stayed silent as the two women looked at each other, one with a shocked expression, the other with a guilty one.

“You’re alive,” she finally choked out, swallowing a sob.

“I’m so sorry,” Emily whispered as she began to cry, too.

Y/N didn’t waste another second to run into her arms, aching so badly to feel the touch of her skin again, something she’d been deprived of for seven months, something she thought she’d be deprived of for the rest of her life.

“I’m so sorry, Y/N,” Emily said again into her hair, holding her closely.  Their grip on each other was tighter than it had ever been.

The rest of the shocked, confused, and ultimately angry agents in the room just watched the reunion with tired and sad eyes.  They wanted to be happy that Emily was alive.  She’d get to smell fresh brewed coffee after all, and she’d get to feel the cool winter air on her delicate skin.  She’d been smelling and feeling and seeing and hearing and tasting for the entire seven months that they thought they’d buried her.

Spencer quickly walked out of the room without a word.  Morgan managed to pat Emily on the shoulder as she held Y/N as a silent welcome home, but his furious features remained on Hotch.

Leaning back, Y/N looked up at her fiance.  Slowly and carefully, she reached up to her face and stroked her cheek, as if to check to see if she was real.  “I love you.  And I was never going to stop loving you.”

“I love you too, Y/N.  And I would never stop, either.”

And finally they kissed, tasting each other after being starved for months.  The other agents quietly left the room, leaving the two women alone, each giving Emily some kind of acknowledgement to say welcome home as they walked out.  Dave, the last one out shut the door behind him.

“You were alive all along,” Y/N said finally, her voice a mixture of sad and shocked.

“I wanted so badly to tell you,” the older of the two replied, sitting down in one of the chairs.  Y/N sat in the seat next to her, facing her.  “For my own safety and yours, I couldn’t.”

“I understand,” she replied honestly.

“I knew you would,” Emily said with a smile, holding her fiance's hand.  “JJ told me about the first few weeks, though.” 

Y/N sighed, ready for the lecture.  “You were dead.  How was I supposed to react?”

“I’m not saying it wasn’t justified.  You had to walk in here every day seeing my picture on the wall stating that I was dead.  But the thing is, you’re not the only one who lost someone that day.”

“I know, everyone lost you that day, the whole team-”

“I’m talking about me,” Emily interrupted.  Y/N met her eyes again.  “I had to leave you guys and I couldn’t even see you.”

Y/N looked down at their intertwined hands, realizing that Emily lost her family as well all those months ago. 

“We lost each other, and I don’t know how many times I’ll be able to say I’m sorry.”

They were silent for a few more moments before Y/N’s puffy eyes looked back up to Emily’s.

“But we’re together now,” she whispered.  Emily’s lips curled into a tiny smile.

“Now and forever.”

And then they kissed again.

Just want to share some thoughts on why putting down the phone is WORTHWHILE. First, lets be honest I love going on internet, specially following people who our using the gifts for God’s glory, nothing makes me more happier and inspired. Let’s also face their actually stress specially when you see the injustice in the World, and you just get frusterated. Thats why I think important to PUT PHONE DOWN! I can’t expressed how less stress I was, more carefree, I don’t know what happening in World but pretty sure everything pretty okay. The best thing is time to reflect and worship God, to remember who really in control in end his might and glory be reveal. Basicly it comes to balence I also don’t think healthy not be aware and carefree. As Christians we should be enaged, with knowleged and prayer. So that being said I am exicted be back!! BECAUSE THE BEST THING IS BLOGGING!! AND YOU!! Ps..remember don’t feel bad to put down the phone..💜 #photofy @photofyapp

princemalik: yeah absolutely just send me you number

mkarim:  5552814

Hey it's the king.  So how was rehearsal, you go to any wild parties?

the king huh lol it was fine, just practicing for friday. probably having an after party then we'll see we'll see ;)

Hey, I didn't name myself lol.  Nice, have fun.  I'm going out Friday night too, it's not gonna be anywhere near as wild as your party though I'm sure.

whats your sisters name I bet its like Amira or something lol. you gonna party or got a hot date?

No lol it's Ishizu.  Just clubbing with some friends, I'm not really dating anyone right now.  What about you, you got a girlfriend or something?

or something. nah not really with anyone now.

so I listened to a few more of your songs on your yt, you've got good chords man. i'm still reeling that you put all that together by yourself.

That means a lot, especially from someone with as much experience as you, thank you.  Hey, if you ever need some guest vocals you know who to call lol

haha yeah if you ever flew to LA to sing. wouldn't be bad though we all suck, we could use someone like you. shame. what do you play most?

Mostly just sing, keyboard.  I started learning guitar years ago but I'm kind of a wuss with my hands I hate he callouses lol. What do you play?

lol aw the poor royal hands. I love guitar, i play bass mostly though.

Got the short end of the stick huh?   You're really good at the vocals too, you have a good voice for it.  You could be lead if you wanted to.

nah i don't think ive got the right stage presence for lead or something. i like bass its ok

That's something you learn, though, right?  You seemed to handle yourself pretty well in those videos.

ahh you watched those eh yeah they're kind nsfw I guess but so are the songs

Yeah they were really good though, you're very good looking.

ahahahaa thanks. You make any videos?

What, of just me?  Nah, that's kind of weird and embarrassing lol.  Maybe if the whole band thing takes off we will.

nah do like acoustic stuff. Girls love that shit. Besides, if you're good looking too it'll get you more views

Do they? lol  Yeah, maybe I'll try it.  Something with my keyboard, maybe.

yeah and then link me. That's not weird to ask right lol

Nah it's only fair I guess.  I'll have to borrow my father's camera no way my phone is gonna do it.

lol okay well good luck with that I look forward to it

Did you still wanna see that video?  I'm kinda nervous about posting it honestly.

what video?

oh yeahhh oh yeah send it over

I sent the link in our chat.  Promise not to laugh too much.

i promise

damn thats good man.

i mean it sounds as good the camera allows but you look great too man lol your views will definitely skyrocket if you post that

Oh wow thanks lol.  Yeah I think I'm gonna do it.  May as well start getting myself out there, y'know?

you absolutely should. i swear its a lot easier to get noticed here though i think, like we've only been playing a year maybe and we're growing fast. it's just LA

A year??  That's so fast.  Man I've gotta get out there some day.

you sure do. how was your weekend?

Boring.  I spent most of it helping my father clean out the garage, wrote some new stuff.  What did you do, Mr. Rockstar?

lol what happened to that party you were going to? i went out man I don't even remember what I did last night we got so fucked

I didn't end up going we'll probably go this weekend instead.  Actually I might have some friends over Tuesday while my father's out of town.  It must've been a lot of fun then lol.

that sucks. sounds like a shitty weekend. does your sister live at home with you guys i can't remember if you told me

Yeah, I did she does.  If I'm extra nice to her she won't tell on me lol

lol better start doing her chores then. you wanna show me some of your new stuff? do you start with lyrics or music?

I already did her laundry today lol.  Sure, how do you want me to show you?  I always start with the lyrics, it helps me get an idea of where I'm going.  You write any of the stuff for your band?

yeah some of the lyrics but the lead does most of the music, he's just got an ear for it. whatever is easier for you, depends on how much you have I guess? we can call if it helps.

Not too much, its mostly bits and pieces.  Yeah we can call if you want that would be cool.

Alright give me a sec

I currently have a premium on a ninja 250R around 2000$ a year and a secondary driver policy on my dads R6 around 1100$. since my bike here in Canada goes by KMPH i would need to sell it and save myself the hassle of transferring all the info. So would there be any chance of me affording a R6 in Florida or would they rape me there too?

Which auto insurance company to choose?

Geico's quote was WAY lower than anybody else's. Several hundred dollars lower, in fact. When I asked an Allstate agent about the difference, he said it was mainly due to Allstate offering more types of insurance, investments, better customer service, and that Geico's quote was low just to get you in the door and that it would go up once I appeared interested. After a 10 minute monologue of him explaining this, he quickly printed my quote and rushed me out of his office. Does anyone have experience with Geico?

Auto Insurance company is refusing to cover my rental car. What can I do to fight this?

Exactly a week ago I was involved in an accident at the fault of another driver. The other driver's insurance company (USAA) has been sitting on the case not doing a damn thing. I had to call them yesterday just to get them to read my accident report, and accept liability. They hadn't even contacted the policy holder! They told me that they would set me up with a rental car, and cover the fees. Today I went to Enterprise to pick up the rental car and was asked if the insurance company (USAA) had mentioned anything about a underage bracket fee. When I told them that they hadn't, the woman at enterprise contacted USAA. It was then that they stated that they would not pay for the underage fee (I am 19), which is about $22 per day. Naturally, I was completely outraged. Both my insurance company and USAA's offices are closed at this time, so I have to wait until tomorrow to contact them. I was told by my agent that because the accident wasn't my fault, ANY cost that is a result of the accident MUST be covered by the other driver's insurance company. What can I do about this? I don't have the money to pay for the fee, but I need the transportation. I've already been without transportation for a week.""

OK, I passed my test last week so I've started looking at what cars to buy, and which ones have the cheapest insurance.

The cars that I've had quotes for are Vauxhall Corsa's and Ford Fiestas, both 1.2L. A friend of mine insured a Golf 1.6 for 900 which was his first car, so I really don't get why my quotes are so different, especially as I'm looking at much cheaper cars.

Why is car insurance so expensive in the UK?

I'm a 19 year old male with 2 years no claims. I have just come back from the USA where everyone there drives huge engined trucks and cars, including even the 16-year-olds.

However the insurance companies reject me almost immediately. Why is this the case in the UK? Why am I not allowed to drive a nice car albeit old just because I am young? I'm a keen car restorer and take the utmost care whilst driving, and living on a farm have driven most vehicles, so would not say I was inexperienced. Does anyone know of any bespoke insurers or do I really have to stick to driving a tiny hatchback until I'm 25? It seems as though the whole system is unfairly against me :(""

How much (on average) does it cost to get insured?

I have been doing side cleaning for some friends and family so of course I'm not insured or bonded. But I can make anywhere from $50-$80 for less then 2 hours of work.

Of course what I'm learning is that instead of making the full $50-$80 for my services I'm making only 20% and the rest of course goes to the company! I feel I can do much better on my own and really want to work towards that so I know my best bet is to get insurance and bonding. Roughly what is the premium for it? I guess I wouldn't need to be insured for no more then $25,000 -$50,000. And are bonding and insurance liability fees seperate?? Any help would be appreciated. thanks""

I own an auto repair shop, and I had an idea that I would like you all to help me with. What if there was a program where you paid a monthly premium like health insurance.

What do you think would be a good rate for that monthly premium in everyone opinion? The rate would depend on whether you owned a car or truck, and wether or not it was 4wd. What do you all think?""
