Swimwear Season - Laura Freigang
Tumblr media
Summary : You finally teach Laura how to surf (I don't actually know how to surf so this is not a reliable guide but i do love the sea and spend all my time in it !!"
Warning !! This is nothing like what i normally write !! I have never written anything like this before so feedback is encouraged and let me know if you wanna see more or if I should just quit while I'm ahead !!
The sound of Laura's alarm going off brought you out of your sleep, only to notice the blonde laying on top of you made no effort to move and turn her alarm off. After turning her alarm off for her, you decided that getting up and starting the day by yourself whilst she continued to sleep was probably your best option, the blonde had never been a fan of mornings.
"y/n/n" She grumbled, obviously disagreeing with your plans as she felt you wriggle out from underneath her, "Schatz, please just 5 more minutes"
Giggling you continue to get up, leaving the room. The small cottage you were staying in was gorgeous, like Laura you thought. Turing on the stove, you began to cook you and Laura porridge, the same meal you had eaten for breakfast every morning before a day in the sea, ever since you were a kid. Laura knew of your love for the sea and joined you on trips to visit it every chance she got. And thats why today, to repay here, you were finally gonna teach her how to surf. Laura had been nagging you since before you had even gotten together to teach her, you had just never found the time. But today was going to be different.
Oats of the porridge finally softened, you began putting it in the respective bowls. With bananas, strawberries, 2 squares of chocolate, and a sprinkle of sugar, (same as when you were a kid).
Just as you placed the bowls on the table the blonde finally emerged from the small room in just one of your t-shirts on her that was far too long. Side by side you sat, thighs touching under the table, laughing about your day, until you'd both eaten as much as you could of the porridge, placing the bowls in the sink filled with water, letting them soak.
"y/n? What are you doing?" she asked as she noticed you packing her wetsuit as well, Laura normally opting to sit on the shore capturing your antics in the sea with whatever camera she was sporting around her neck.
"packing your wetsuit?" You answered like it was the most obvious answer in the world.
"Well yes i can see that sonnenschein but why?"
"Because we're going surfing?" You watched as her face dropped with disbelief.
"Really? Are you actually gonna teach me? Because normally you just say you are and then you never do, we never actually make it to the beach normally-"
"Schatz. I'm going to teach you this time I promise." You watched as her face lit up, before she buried it in your neck as she held you tight.
"Thank you liebling" She mumbles into your hair, feeling your chest rise up and down with laughter.
ā€¢
ā€¢
By the time you actually made it to the beach it was about 11am, so the little cafe on the beach was finally open, Laura buying both you and her an iced coffee claiming that you were gonna need it for the energy. Laura didn't own a board and you really didn't want to rent one cause of how expensive it would be, opting to let her borrow yours, explaining to her that it would be fine due to her only being one inch shorter than you. Luckily there was only one other surfer in the water, so you only briefly explained to the blonde the etiquette of surfers owning waves and riding them one at a time. The german slowly became eager to get into the water rushing your explanations of what to do. Meaning that as you both began to walk towards the water, you forgot to mention one slight thing.
The coldness of the English sea.
You watched as the blonde squealed as it hit her feet, you choosing to just run and dive under, popping right back up claiming to the german forward that it wasn't as cold when she fully dunked herself. Even after refusing to dunk herself due to the cold, Laura soon found herself under the water after being wiped out by a wave, you just diving under it. By the time she stands back up you're loosing it, doubling over with laughter at the fact her hair was all messed up.
3 hours had passed by the time Laura had managed to pull herself into a standing position while riding a wave, falling straight off afterwards and claiming she wanted to go back to the cottage. after helping her strip off her wetsuit and wrapping her up in a towel and leaving her to sit in the passenger seat, you stripped off your own wetsuit, got changed and got in the drivers side. Smiling at the blonde before starting the car and beginning the drive back. Not before she whispers a small "thank you", placing her hand on your thigh as you drive. Happy to of gotten to share one of the things you love most with her.

Eloquent native speaker needed in order to tell my story on reduxx
Pls reblog if you wanna support a survivor of sexual violence done by a trans person
Tumblr media
Iā€˜m recently in contact with a reduxx journalist after I shared my story of rape by a ā€žnon-binaryā€œ male here in germany, were I still struggle to be heard. The media doesnā€™t like survivors who donā€™t fit into their narratives of ā€žgoodā€œ and ā€ževilā€œ, so most german journalists ignore me when I come forward in order to tell my story. They always claim itā€™s ā€žnot importantā€œ or ā€žnot a widespread issueā€œ when I literally know so many similar cases to mine. But the victims donā€™t come forward because many of them still believe in gender ideology and probably think, they are the only ones who got abused by a trans person and who coincidentally fit into a ā€žtransphobic narrativeā€œ that will be fueled if they come forward. So the most victims stay quiet. I stayed quiet for a long time until I heard similar stories in english speaking radfem circles. But most teenagers who are into gender ideology still go to school and their english skills are limited, so I decided to tell my story in Germany, so other survivors could see it and question why their story is just a ā€žtransphobic narrativeā€œ for ā€žqueer feministsā€œ. This is how I came into contact with a reduxx journalist and I told her my story, in order for her to write an article about it. But I have due to my troubled past only limited English skills, especially when it comes to the grammar. The journalist asked me to translate some quotes into english from my german video interview about the abuse and I also have some screenshots with quotes from my rapist and german gender activists who reacted towards an outcall I made for him. I collected them, because the world needs to know how predators speak and act like on real life examples, otherwise they will always fall for them. But I struggle to translate them on my own and I want a serious, non-AI-generated translation in a good quality, that doesnā€™t shed important (emotional) details.
This is were I need help. I can communicate in english when it comes to chatting but I need some assistance when it comes to the quality of language. Soā€¦
if you are a radical or rad leaning feminist who supports survivors of abuse and english is your native language, please hit me up! āœ‰ļø
Letā€™s make my story to be heard, so it will wake up other survivors who are still trapped into gender ideology, because they lack examples of survivors from abusive trans people, who tell their stories. If my story can be shared with a bigger audience, maybe the german version also gets more attention and a conversation about abuse in our ā€žqueerfeministā€œ circles can be started.

oohh i just thought of science guy peter x astrology girlie trouble dynamic šŸ¤“ trouble tries to convince peter that astrology is real and it makes sense, or like she tells him about horoscopes and he argues with her telling her it's nonsense, as a science guy. i can imagine they banter over it once in a while it's just funny.
then one day when trouble tells him abt someone she doesn't like, he surprisingly ends up guessing their sign as a diss and trouble is just ECSTATIC
-šŸ§ššŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø
ā€˜did you know thereā€™s a thirteenth zodiac?ā€™
ā€˜ophiuchus, right?ā€™
ā€˜oh my god, yes! have you been looking into this? thatā€™s so sexy of you.ā€™
ā€˜i could lie for brownie points, but i wont. no, i havenā€™t been looking into your fortune cookie books-ā€˜
ā€˜horoscope.ā€™
ā€˜-but i do know the constellationā€™s. plus i find that one cool, it disappears for a month.ā€™
ā€˜itā€™s frustrating how you can be so annoying and cute at the same time.ā€™
ā€˜ditto, trouble.ā€™
ā€˜wanna hear todays horoscope?ā€™
ā€˜youā€™re gonna tell me it no matter what.ā€™
ā€˜okay, for mister handsome leo, today says ā€œyouā€™re born romantic by nature, but today youā€™re likely to think more in terms of physical passion than idealized romance,ā€ is that true?ā€™
ā€˜if youā€™re asking if i want to have sex with you, the answer is yes. itā€™s always yes.ā€™
ā€˜youā€™re greedy. okay, wait, this is actually kind of good. ā€œthe color blue might seem especially appealing right now, but donā€™t forget to add some red for passion. phone your romantic interest and have fun tonight.ā€ā€™
ā€˜thereā€™s no fucking way. let me see that.ā€™
ā€˜thatā€™s weird. i donā€™t like it.ā€™
ā€˜itā€™s okay, you just have to give in. be spiritual, peter. the universe is begging you.ā€™
ā€˜your delusions are tough but i fight through them for you.ā€™
ā€˜oh my god, you know whoā€™s delusional? fucking jack. you donā€™t know him but heā€™s that one guy in the lecture who always has something to say and itā€™s always some woe is me shit! we could be talking about the german bomb dogs and heā€™d say itā€™s not as sad as his blind dog falling into the pool.ā€™
ā€˜let me guess, heā€™s a cancer?ā€™
ā€˜what did you just say?ā€™
ā€˜his zodiac. heā€™s a cancer?ā€™
ā€˜whyā€¦ why would you say that?ā€™
ā€˜because you tell me all the time about how cancer men are the absolute worst humans alive.ā€™
ā€˜because they are! and guess what, nonbeliever? youā€™re right!ā€™
ā€˜i donā€™t wanna be right about this one. this will make you think there might be some validity to your claims and i canā€™t have that happen. no, no.ā€™
ā€˜you were right.ā€™
ā€˜i was making fun of you.ā€™
ā€˜and you happened to be right. because you knew he was a self pitying person and only one sign does that.ā€™
ā€˜wrong. i pity myself for entertaining you with this nonsense.ā€™
ā€˜understandable. iā€™ll see you later tonightā€¦ in your blue and red.ā€™
ā€˜that was a lucky guess!ā€™

Emily reached Oswald's yard in record time, the guys pulling in behind her seconds later. Running to the office she saw Elliot behind his desk, concern on his face. Jake was on one of the leather sofas, arm covered in blood. "Oh here she is! Come to claim your vicious mutt?" Emily glared at Jake, fire burning in her hateful stare. She never liked him. "That dog is perfect. You shouldn't be handling him, you've been told before. You know fuck all!" Slamming her hands on the desk, Emily looked up at Oswald, just as she heard the rest of the guys pile in behind her. "I want the cameras checked Elliot. I wanna see what happened for myself." Elliot turned her attention to the screen on the wall and pressed play. Sure enough the footage showed Zeus, the gorgeous black German Shepard turning and snapping his jaws onto Jake's arm as he was walking across the yard. Jake stood up behind Emily and spoke in a taunting tone. "See! He's fucking feral. I want him destroyed." Emily snapped around, the anger in her eyes doubled. "Out of the fucking question! You've got to go through me to touch that dog." Looking Jake up and down she scoffed. "And i don't think you've got the bollocks." Turning to face a still silent Elliot, Emily pleaded. "I want the camera's in the kennel checked. That behaviour doesn't come out of no where." Jake started to squirm. "Elliot seriously? Theres no need to check the kennel cameras. End of the day he bit me. Thats it, he should go!" Elliot looked between them both, clearly unsure. Emily raised her eyebrow at him. "Who are you gonna trust here Elliot? Your Kennel Manager and trainer or this idiot? Oswald Security wouldn't be what it is without me and you know it!" Elliot sighed as he used the remote to switch the screen to the kennel camera. Jake started to squirm even more and Emily knew exactly why. The footage showed Jake bang harshly on Zeus' kennel door startling the animal. Then to make it worse instead of clipping on his lead, he roughly grabbed him by the scruff pulling him from his kennel and out the door into the yard. The yelp from the dog was enough to make Emily want to tear his fucking throat out. Elliot's face changed at the footage, realising Emily was right. Angry didnt cover it. The rage that she felt was indescribable. How dare he handle her animals like that? "I want him gone. Dismissed and as far away from my fucking kennel as possible." Emily spoke through gritted teeth. Jake started to protest behind her but she had had enough. Turning around she shoved Jake back down onto the sofa. Leaning over him, fists clenched, nails digging crescent moons into her palms, she spoke through gritted teeth. "You ever come near this yard again, i will fucking feed you to them piece by piece you weak, pathetic, piece of shit." Jake glanced around the room as if anyone was going to tell her to back off. "Oh i get it! You think because you got 3 members of SAMCRO here your protected? I heard you were their new fuck toy since Noah left your ass. He let them pass you around now he's done with you? Anger was clear to see on Jax's face now as he moved further into the room, ready to beat the shit out of him for speaking to her like that. Jake's laughter was cut short by Emily's fist crashing into his mouth. "Think your fucking funny?" She spat as she hit him again, knuckles bleeding from the contact with his teeth. "Emily!" Oswald shouted the first words he's spoke since she got there, as he gripped her arm and pulled her back. "Get him off this fucking yard now! I'll kill him Elliot i swear!" Emily breathed heavy as she tried to rein her temper back in. "Ill handle it. Go cool off." Elliot pointed at the door, clearly wanting her to leave. Rolling her eyes, she didnt give Jake a second look as she stormed from the office, the rest of the guys in tow.
Emily's hands shook with pure anger as she leaned over the fence of the exercise yard. "The temper on you darlin'" Chibs whistled as he threw his arm over her shoulder. "You got any Irish in ya? You remind me of me wife, Terrifying woman." Emily burst out laughing as she looked at him. Since she met him he had never failed to make her laugh. "Yeah i do actually. On my mothers side." Chibs smiled at her and it made Emily feel slightly better. Jax watched her. He was still angry himself at how she had been spoken to. Is that what people thought of her? Noah treated her like shit and now she was being passed around the club like a crow eater? Charming gossips were relentless and SAMCRO have always been at the center of their rumors. But now Emily was being dragged into it and he hated it more than he used to.
The sound of the Kennel door opening got Emily's attention straight away. Lee, one of the other handlers, was leading Zeus out into the yard. "Lee, let him go!" Emily called and the sound of her voice made Zeus' ears perk up straight away. The whine he let out make Emily's heart swell. He was her boy. He made her so proud. Stepping forward Emily dropped to her knees as all 120 pounds of excited German Shepard ran her way. Zeus collided into her with kisses and whines. Flopping onto his back on the dirt he gratefully accepted the belly rubs. "Hey E. Take it you heard what happened?" Lee spoke when he was close enough to the group. "Yeah Zeus is going nowhere and that asshole is losing his job as we speak." Lee laughed at her. "I wouldn't expect anything less." Emily smiled at him as she moved to stand up. "You working him now?" Lee nodded. "Makes sense. He's all riled up from this morning anyway." Emily grinned as she scratched Zeus' ears. "You getting in the bite suit?" Lee went pale. "Seriously? Not again!" Emily nodded her head as she grabbed Zeus' lead from his hand and hung it round her neck. "Ill meet you in the field." Lee groaned but didnt complain as he turned and made his way back towards the kennel. Excitement was clear to see on her face as Emily spun to face the others. "You guys can go back to your welcome home party. Im staying with my boy." Cara shook her head. "No way! I've heard you talk none stop about this dog and training. Im staying to watch!" Emily laughed as everyone agreed with Cara. "Fine but hands down at all times, you can lean on the fence." Unlocking the field she let Zeus in and locked the gate behind her. Walking down to the guys she smiled as Zeus started running and sniffing the grass. "He's beautiful." Juice commented as he watched him. Emily smiled. "Yeah he is. And he is one hell of a protection dog." Tying her hair up high and out of her face she called Zeus to come to her.
Lee let himself into the field, waddling in the huge bite suit down to Emily. "I cannot believe you are getting me to do this. He dislocated my shoulder last time!" He groaned as he shifted, uncomfortable in the padding. "Oh stop whining. You know you love him!" Emily laughed. Jax smiled at her. She obviously loved this job. It was clear to see in how she defended the dog and her position. He never would've thought this was the job she did. They needed to talk about alot really. Her day with Abel, that amazing kiss, and where it left them. Jax kicked himself. This was the only upside to one night stands, no awkward relationship talk. But for her he was willing to do it. Jax snapped out of his mental monolog as he heard Emily call to Zeus. Emily gave him the command and he assumed position between her legs. Lee signaled to her he was ready and started making his way towards her. "Watch him." Emily called and Zeus' eyes locked on to Lee as he was moving closer. "Speak!" With the command, Zeus started barking and growling. Lee had both his arms behind his back now, only a few meters between him, Zeus and Emily. "Show me your hands!" She called over the snarling of the dog. Lee ignored the call just like he was supposed to. "Show me your hands or ill send the dog!" Emily called just like she had a thousand times before. Lee showed his hands and started waving around the metal bar. "Last warning! Back off or I'll send the dog!" There it was. The final warning. Emily always trained her guys to give 3. 3 strikes and your out. Lee lunged forward and with that Zeus became airbourne. Not caring about the weapon, he lunged to protect his master. Nothing would get between him and Emily. Connecting with the bite suit covering Lee's arm, Zeus bit down hard almost taking him off his feet. Lee struggled against him, but no luck. Zeus wasnt giving up easy, even dangling in the air at one point. Running over Emily gave him the command to release and return to her. Zeus dutifully obeyed moving to stand at her side. Throwing his ball as a reward, Emily let him have a few minutes play. Lee lay on the ground panting. "I both love and hate that dog." Laughing Emily helped him to his feet. "You getting in the car?" Lee groaned. "Your running the car exercise too?" Emily shrugged. "Why not? He hasnt done it in a while. And Oswald wants him ready for when the cars start being left on the sale lot. Ya know in case someone tries to take one." Lee groaned again but started to make his way towards the car parked on the other end of the field.
Jax watched as she did what she did best. And she looked god damn sexy while she was doing it too. Turning to Chibs, Jax asked the question on his mind without hesitation. "What do you think about her?" Jax knew Chibs would tell him the truth. He could always count on him to do that. "I like her. You could do alot worse Jackie boy!" Chibs smiled at him. Jax turned back to the field and watched as Emily squatted next to Zeus kissing his face. God he was obsessed with her. He watched Lee give the signal he was ready once he was in the car. Emily gave Zeus a command that Jax couldnt hear but it made his eyes lock onto the car. Jax had to admit even he wouldnt want to fuck with that dog. Maybe he should get one for his home, protect Abel that much more.
"Wow!" He heard Cara gasp as the hair missile that was Zeus flew through the car window without any hesitation and locked onto the bite sleeve around Lee's arm. Lee fell through the open drivers door on to the ground, Zeus on top of him pinning his arm to his chest with his mouth. Emily ran over and gave the command to release, giving him his ball as a reward. Zeus proudly ran around the field with it, enjoying his play he worked so hard for. "Fuck" Lee groaned as Emily helped him to his feet. "Im getting out of this thing." Laughing Emily let him out of the field, Zeus on her heels. "Does he only protect if commanded?" Juice questioned as she made her way over to them. "Wanna raise your hand to me and find out?" She grinned as Juice shook his head wide eyed. Jax moved to stand by her side. "After seeing him train I'm considering getting one for Abel. Especially when his nanny has him at home and I'm not there. What do you think?" Emily smiled at him "I think its a great idea. Ill even train it if your comfortable with that? I can bring Zeus back to the clubhouse with you. He's trained perfect around children, i can show you and your mom the benefits." Jax nodded with a wide smile. He could see how passionate she was about this. "Perfect. Ill meet you there." Emily couldnt wipe the smile off her face as she loaded Zeus into the car.
Within minutes Emily was pulling into the same space in the lot, unloading Zeus. Jax was already there and had brought his mom and the rest of the guys out onto the lot, catching them up with his idea. "Im not sure Jax. A dog? Thats a risk with a baby!" Emily gave Zeus some water as she listened to Gemma try to shoot down Jax's idea. "I trust her mom. And i trust that dog. You haven't seen what i have. Give her a chance." Jax stepped forward and took Able from Gemma. "Zeus nice. Friend." Emily said as Zeus sat down eyeing the baby. Taking Abel from Jax she kneeled infront of Zeus, letting him get a good old sniff of the baby. Abel babbled as he pressed his hands onto Zeus's muzzle, clearly interested in the new creature. Turning around Emily placed Able in his carrier on the floor. "Everyone step back." Gemma eyed her with a scowl. "You expect me to step back and give that dog a chance to maul my grandbaby?" She snapped and Emily scoffed. "Ive looked after this baby all day. Alone. If i was gonna hurt him dont you think i would've done it while you weren't watching him?" Emily rolled her eyes at how ridiculous Gemma was. She could see she didnt want to but eventually listened and took a step back. Emily moved to the side giving Zeus space to sit infront of the carrier. "Stay and watch. No one touches him." Emily patted Zeus' head and stepped even further back. "Can someone please try to pick up Abel?" Emily asked, arms crossed over her chest. Opie stepped forward. "Ill do it. Just dont let him take my hand off." Emily smirked as he stepped forward, his hand reaching for the baby. He didnt even get to make contact before Zeus was growling in warning, his hackles raised. He was ready to pounce if that hand made contact. Opie backed up as soon as Zeus started to inch forward. "Fuck that!" Emily laughed as she moved next to Zeus. "Safe." Bending down she gave him a fuss and threw his ball across the lot. Turning to Jax and Gemma she crossed her arms over her chest. "I can train another Zeus if thats what you want. Family dog but protection when needed. Itll sleep infront of Abel's crib and can follow him and the nanny where you want." Emily grinned as she felt Zeus nuzzle against the back of her legs. Scratching his head, she took his ball back and threw it again. He deserved it. He's such a good boy. Jax nodded as he looked at his mom. "See extra protection for Abel is a good thing." Gemma eyed him but gave in eventually. "Fine. But-" The overbearing mother stepped infront of Emily, hands on her hips. " If it hurts my grandbaby, ill destroy it." Emily scowled at her. "Have faith grandma." Before Gemma could say anything back, Jax guided Emily toward her car to talk about arrangements. "So when do you start training?" Emily was thankful he pulled her away, Gemma is really pushing her fucking luck with her attitude. "Well we have a litter due to be weaned from mum in the next week or so. You can come and pick your puppy and then i'll start bringing it around you and Abel so it can form a bond. Ill have to have access to your house too, so it can get used to its new environment." Emily spoke as she loaded Zeus into the car and turned her air con on. "You can come by the house any time. Stay if its easier." Jax leaned against her car, mentally kicking himself for the forwardness of his comment. Emily could feel herself go red. "That might not be such a good idea. The dog would get used to me being there. I dont want to get in your way." Jax placed his hands on her hips. "You wouldnt be in my way. And so what if the dog gets used to you? Maybe thats not such a bad thing." Jax pulled her closer and butterflies exploded in her stomach. Fuck. He really did drive her insane. She wanted to give in. She really did, But part of her knew she would only get hurt in the end. Jax is only interested in her because she's new. The novelty of her will soon wear off and he'll be back to his many women.
"Maybe it would be. I dont want to cross any lines. Cause any confusion. I better go. Ill keep you updated on the puppy. Waving to Cara, Emily jumped in the car and drove away from Teller Morrow. Jax stayed staring at the back of her truck as she drove away, disappointment clear on his face. Meanwhile, as Emily drove towards her house she couldnt help the tears that pricked her eyes. Today was nice, but it was also a stark reminder of what she couldnt have.
She needed to put distance between them. And fast.

Taylor Swift's 'Fortnight' and the Quest for Authentic Self-Determination and Identity
As someone analyzing Taylor Swift's new album, I want to emphasize that this analysis is not about the men in her life. For me, Taylor Swift isn't a "man eater," as some label her, but rather a person with feelings, problems, and her own identity. Taylor is creative with her lyrics; who says "he/him" has to directly refer to a lover?
I'm just a regular German girl who faces similar issues herself and can identify with them through her music. I don't want to claim that everything I analyze was her intention; I just want to share my feelings.
I also think that some things can be understood as queer. As I said, I identify a lot with the song myself. So these are my personal impressions. I'm not directly claiming that Taylor Swift is queer. It's more about the content here. Because their inner self is often symbolized as male, one might think that the public Taylor represents the unouted personality, while the male figure symbolizes the outed one.
Like each of us, she goes through a process of self-discovery and self-acceptance. In "Fortnight," she seems to struggle with accepting herself and showing her true self. I won't dissect every single sentence, as that would take too long. Instead, I'll focus on the lines that are most meaningful for my interpretation.
"I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me"
This suggests that Taylor tried to break away from her public image or others' expectations and instead become her true self, but ultimately, this process was interrupted or incomplete. The phrase "but they forgot to come and get me" may imply that although she had intended to distance herself from her public image or redefine herself, there was no supportive framework to help her successfully complete this process.
"I was a functioning alcoholic till nobody noticed my new aesthetic."
The term "functioning alcoholic" usually refers to someone who consumes alcohol but still fulfills their daily obligations or keeps their life together. In this context, it might mean that Taylor tried to hide or compensate for her inner struggles by consuming alcohol. The mention of her "new aesthetic" could indicate that she also tried to change her outward appearance or behavior, possibly aiming to create a new image of herself or distance herself from her former self. The word "till" in this line might suggest that she stopped being a "functioning alcoholic" once nobody noticed her change or once nobody perceived her as such.
"And for a fortnight there, we were forever"
This suggests that for a brief but intense period, Taylor Swift fully identified with or was aware of her inner self, giving her a sense of eternity or timelessness. It could symbolize a phase of self-awareness or self-acceptance.
"Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather"
These lines might indicate that after this phase of self-awareness or revelation, Taylor Swift sometimes comes into contact with this inner self or becomes aware of it, but she tries to treat it lightly or superficially by talking about everyday things instead of delving deeper. It could suggest that even in moments when they feel intense and happy, the conversation remains superficial, or that they have difficulty addressing deeper issues. This could be part of their dynamic or relationship dynamic, where they struggle to fully open up or understand each other, even in moments of closeness or connection. Likely because she has never really dealt with her inner self.
"Now you're in my backyard, turned into good neighbors Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her"
Now she talks about it being over with the fortnight. The "now" stands for the present, the here and now. Here, the mention of the backyard and the neighbors could metaphorically represent the immediate proximity of the inner self in the back of the head.
The mention of the wife and the desire to kill her could symbolize the frustration or conflict that Taylor feels when trying to adapt to a conventional or heteronormative environment while still confronting her inner conflicts and identity issues.
"All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February"
These lines could suggest that Taylor Swift feels trapped in an endless phase of discomfort or stagnation stemming from past experiences or identity conflicts. The metaphor of "mornings that are like Mondays" could imply that she faces each day with a feeling of emptiness or frustration, similar to the feeling of being on a Monday morning, where the week lies ahead and everything feels cumbersome and tiresome.
"Took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary"
Here, Taylor Swift could describe how she tried to break free from these past experiences or identity conflicts by using some kind of "miracle drug" to move on or progress. The metaphor of the "move-on drug" could suggest an attempt to leave the past behind and move forward, but the mention that the effects were only temporary suggests that she still struggles with the effects of these experiences and that these coping methods are not sustainable.
"And I love you, it's ruining my life / I love you, it's ruining my life / I touched you for only a fortnight / I touched you, but I touched you"
These lines could reflect the ambivalence of Taylor's feelings and the complexity of her relationship with her inner masculine self. The repetition of "I love you, it's ruining my life" suggests a deep emotional bond but also pain and conflict. The brief touch for a "fortnight" could symbolize that this bond was temporary but still had a strong impact on her.
"Thought of callin' ya, but you won't pick up / 'Nother fortnight lost in America / Move to Florida, buy the car you want / But it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch me"
Here, Taylor might describe her attempts to break free from past experiences or identity conflicts, but she still feels influenced or trapped by them. In this line, Florida could have a metaphorical meaning, representing a place where Taylor Swift can find or accept herself, especially in terms of her true identity. The purchase of the desired car could symbolize her efforts to allow her inner self to take control of her life to live her true identity without being restricted by societal expectations.
The line "But it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch me" could suggest that Taylor's true journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance can only begin when she touches or accepts herself. This could mean that she first needs to learn to accept herself before she can live her true identity.
In the music video of the song, we see Taylor taking a pill called "forget him" at the beginning, which she has been taking since her birthday. This is indicated by the date on the pill packaging. In my opinion, this is the biggest hint that the song is not about a lover but about herself.
I love music and it is art. And art has many sides and everyone interprets it differently

I have a small favor to ask certain individuals such as those who claim to be laughing at another's "rage" which they can neither cite like a good arguer nor can I find examples of: Define "rage", "grooming", "pedo", and whatever constitutes proof of alts or trying to sound smart (maybe that's why they think someone sounds too smart, because they're used to using the definitions of words that fit your needs at a given moment).
This discourse cannot progress to another level without it, they're their own reason it's in circles (especially when there is a normal way of doing this, would ya think etiquette wouldn't get a following? But no, it gets polite people referred to as a cult.). And it's a discourse they're the ones who want to continue, not us as I've said before in responses. Unless I'm misunderstanding and they've covertly started turning this into an argument back and forth with the other supposed accuser. Actually, come to think of it as I say that, yeah...
Tumblr media
Well it can't be us (or can it?), because the friend of a certain often-mentioned person who is known as Hiromi-Seika (alongside some also-blacklisted individuals on their side doing the justice-obsessed slander they routinely do and perhaps amassing repliers that just wanna talk about Nepal, they seem to put a lot of faith into the archiving business) just got the Tumblr-sized ban hammer for this exact thing they're doing, which some sleuthing can do if you look for past things she liked (as you can see my language is German even though I live in the final frontier) and then look on those things to see that her name is not there in the list of likers anymore. Goes to show I beg to differ about them begging to differ about certain things, even the DA sub and its mods admit this mindset to be wrong, so in the end, tell me, who is laughing at whose rage?
They certainly don't "show their work" (as a math teacher would put it) like those they align against may more often do.

Okay so, I've been on Tumblr for a long time now and I love to write. I have *so* many things in my head I want to talk about. But what I really want to talk about are my OCs. This beautiful man is named Louis Belmont and I love him so freaking much.
Tumblr media

Piercings: he has quite a few. Mostly on his ears and tongue. He also has nipple piercings as well. His mother didnā€™t want him to get any piercings butā€¦he never listened and didnā€™t care. Itā€™s his body anyway. Donā€™t get me wrong, he loves his mother and will listen to herā€¦but he just really loves piercings and wanted to get a few.Ā 
Scars: Louis has a lot of scars on his body. Some from fights and others from just being clumsy.

Tumblr media
šŸ”„Louis Belmont āš”ļø
What is he like?:Ā  Louis is a hyperactive manĀ  who likes to be petty and piss people off. Heā€™s nice, in his own way, and can be an asshole and a pest at times, but he means well. (Sometimes) heā€™s a very smart man under all that pettiness and people think heā€™s dumb which he uses to his advantage. Heā€™s loud, obnoxious and snarky. He is very flirty and will flirt with anyone, but mostly men which is dangerous given that homosexuality is frowned upon, but he could care less. Louis does have a soft side for children and people are shocked when they see this soft, gentler side of Louis. They donā€™t expect that of a man like him. He *is* basically a giant man child. He is a hopeless romantic and will love his partner(s) to death. Spoiling them with kisses, cuddles and other things but also showering them with gifts.Ā 
Like I said before, he is a *very* hyperactive man. He cannot sit still for the life of him and has to be doing something. Either cleaning his weapons or fiddling with something, sometimes tinkering and fixing things. Other times breaking them to see how they work. He loves to talk to those who will listen and wonā€™t shut up. But he has a serious side and will take things seriously when need be. He doesnā€™t really like to show weakness and would rather hide his wounds or hide how hurt he is so others donā€™t worry for him. He is a strong willed and independent man but at the end of the day, heā€™d rather cuddle and sleep with his partner(s) like any human would.Ā 
Likes:Ā 
šŸ—”ļø-cleaning his weapons (he loves taking care of his weapons. Heā€™s always wiping them down and checking for nicks to fix. Plus, having a full blade is not good in battle.)
āš”ļø-finding new weapons to collect (this man loves collecting new weapons, either to use or just to have. Usually he likes to test out the weapons before adding them to his collection. He has many weapons from around the world that he is proud to show off to people who ask.)
šŸƒā€ā™€ļø-exercising( which includes, running, push ups, climbing. He has so much energy, like *so* much. He loves to run and climb. It his favorite thing to do. Plus, he can chase after a monster or a bounty easily for a couple of miles. He doesnā€™t tire easily.Ā 
šŸŗ-alcohol ( he loves to drink alcohol. No matter what it is, heā€™s trying it. Heā€™s tried some fancy wine from France and loves the sweeter wine. Heā€™s even tried the cheese platters with the wine and heā€™s addicted to them)
šŸ¤œšŸ’«-fighting and sparring (Doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s with monsters or humans, he *loves* to fight. Itā€™s in his blood. If heā€™s not fighting then heā€™s sparring with his older sisters.)
šŸ©šŸ°-sweets(doesnā€™t matter what it is, as long as itā€™s super sweet. If thereā€™s one thing he loves more than weapons and monster huntingā€¦okay thatā€™s two, but he absolutely loves sweets. Especially cookies or straight up blocks of honey.)Ā 
šŸ‘¹šŸ—”ļø-monster hunting and learning about new species (he was taught at a young age about monsters and the different species there are in the world. Of course itā€™s a big world so people believe that monsters arenā€™t real. But theyā€™d be wrong. Monsters are indeed real and he has been taught how to kill them. He loves learning about new species and soaks up information like a sponge.)
šŸ„°-his mom (he will not hesitate to say his favorite person in the world is his mother. He loves this woman to death because sheā€™s been there for him every step of the way. She taught him so many things. And while itā€™s a womanā€™s job to do sewing, cleaning and cooking, Louis wanted to learn everything. So, he knows how to cook and sew properly as well as clean. Heā€™s not ashamed to know these things because it keeps him alive on his missions. She also taught him to read and write.)
šŸ˜“-taking naps(he loves naps. Itā€™s something he loves to do when he can. It also is a way to keep him quiet for a few hours.)Ā 
šŸ•šŸ˜ŗ-animals (he loves animals. No matter what animal, he seems to have a way with them. He canā€™t really communicate with animals, not really anyway. He canā€™t really *talk* to them, but he can sense what theyā€™re feeling. Like wolves for instance, he is more wolf-like than anything and itā€™s easier for him to ā€œcommunicateā€ with wolves than any other animal. It could be because of the magic he was born with)
šŸ©·-cuddling(heā€™s a very touchy person, so, any type of touch he loves. It can be sexual or not. Just holding hands or kissing or just sleeping with someone in a pile is the best feeling in the world to him.)
šŸ‘¶-children(he wants a big family of his own some day)
šŸŒ²ā˜€ļø-summer(he loves the heat and sometimes even sleeps in sunny spots. He loves the smell of summer and the sounds of the bugs that come out. Cicadas are his favorite noise on top of grasshoppers. He loves that he can swim in lakes and not freeze his ass off or just be lazy around the estate when heā€™s not on a mission)
Dislikes:Ā 
šŸ˜-bitter things(it tastes horrible to him. Ginger and cranberries are the *worst* to him. He is *super* allergic to them. His throat will swell up and he will start to break out in hives and start itching. He knows the taste of them because he tried them without knowing. Never again.)
šŸ¤œšŸ’«-people messing with his loved ones (he becomes super protective and a little possessive over his loved ones. If itā€™s a sibling, super protective. If itā€™s a lover he becomes both.)
šŸ„¶- the cold(he *hates* winter with a passion. The snow is beautiful, he wonā€™t deny that. But at the end of the day, he hates how the cold makes him feel. Sure, he has his fire to keep him warm but it can only do so much)
šŸ—£ļø-people talking down to him or people ordering him around(now, he knows that if heā€™s on a mission or a team, heā€™ll have to deal with it. But if itā€™s not the team captain or someone he is with, he *hates* being bossed around.)
šŸ•·ļø- spiders(he hates those spawns of the Devil, he accidentally sat on a nest of spiders and had millions of spiders crawling all over him. To this day he will have someone else kill a spider for him or heā€™ll freeze in place.)
šŸŒæ-vinegar and Eucalyptus(he hates the smell of vinegar, itā€™s super strong and disgusting to him. Eucalyptus is equally disgusting to him because the smell can make him feel sick.)
šŸ„ŗ-being alone (while he is independent, he absolutely hates being alone. Sometimes heā€™ll go on missions where he is alone for months on end, but itā€™s not like he enjoys it. Heā€™s a people person and once he finds his loved one, heā€™s staying by them until they get tired of him.)Ā 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His magic and fighting styleĀ 
What is the magic the Belmont's are born with? Well, it depends on the person. Many of the Belmont's are born with different magic. You know what they have by their eyes.Ā 
Gold/red/aqua- Fire. If the fire is an aqua, then it is a very hot fire. Itā€™s hotter than the red or golden fire.Ā 
Deep blue/pale blue-water and ice
Deep green- nature
Brown- Earth
Neon green/pale green- poisonĀ 
Purple- healing
The Belmont's can be born with one magic type or two. Usually you can tell what they have by their eyes. Same eye color is one magic, two different colors are two different magic.Ā 
Louis was born with fire magic and he loves it. He doesnā€™t do well in cold conditions because while he can keep himself warm, it can tire him out if he tries to keep his body temperature up for long periods of time. He does have a lot of stamina but if heā€™s trying to stay warm for 5 hours to keep his body temperature up would either get him very sick or he would die.Ā 
Louis can create fire balls, light his weapons on fire or make the blades incredibly hot. He can melt through some metals, plastic and can burn wood. He canā€™t melt through anything, he would have to have hotter flames for that.Ā 
He can create fire sprites which are little balls of magic that are warm to the touch but when he snaps his fingers, they can explode. He also can make flames float in or on his hand. Or follow him around. Thatā€™s why he rarely ever brings torches with him.Ā 
He can create flames that arenā€™t harmful to others. Which means if he creates a fire and someone were to fall or step in it, it would feel warm to the touch. Now, if he were to create fire by using a fire starter, that fire would hurt others. Louis is immune to fire damage, yet it can still *hurt* him. Heā€™s not completely safe from it. Heā€™s safe from his fire though, but outside sources heā€™s not.Ā 
When he does use his powers or when he becomes angry, his eyes glow brighter until it looks like his eyes themselves are small flames. His eyes can flash a very deep orange to gold when he becomes angry or irritated. Louis can regulate his body temperature and keep others warm or himself warm. Thatā€™s why he loves the heat so much and sleeps in the sun. He can feel hot to the touch if he sleeps in the sun and people can become worried, but heā€™s perfectly fine.Ā 
Louis is weak to extreme cold weather and water. If he gets too cold, it takes him a little bit to get himself warm or create a fire. He can blow fire in his hands to get warmed up. Sort of like starting a furnace thatā€™s close to going out.Ā 
Fighting style: Louis is a close ranged fighter, preferring to be up close and personal with his opponent. Of course he knows to back up and get on the defensive if itā€™s an enemy that needs to be taken down from afar then rush in when they are down. If he doesnā€™t have his sword, he is really good at hand to hand combat. Using his strength and speed to overwhelm his opponent. He can use quick and light attacks or heavy and slow attacks. Usually he likes using quick and heavy attacks to overthrow his opponent. Using upper cuts and blows to the stomach. He is very agile and flexible. He can flip and bounce around, sometimes even bending in odd ways to get his opponent.Ā 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Weapon(s): he has a sword he calls Ra which he straps to his hip. The blade is made from rare metals that had come from a fallen meteor. Itā€™s a normal sword to anyone else, but when Louis holds it, it becomes more dangerous than anything else. He can set the blade on fire by running two fingers across it or heating the blade to the point it glows.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Louis is the third son of the Belmont family. They are a family of bounty hunters, monster hunters, doctors, adventurers, collectors and alchemists. They also sometimes work for the church to get rid of monsters that are too close to major cities or towns. They take jobs from families who have money and those who donā€™t. They are a very old family, have been around for many *many* generations and so they are a very rich noble family. Some of the Belmont's are well known around the world, some as great adventures and others as amazing and smart doctors.Ā 
The Belmont's are a family who are born with magic and different colored eyes depending on their magic. Their magic makes them more animalistic than others. There is magic in the world, but with the Belmont's itā€™s different. They are faster, stronger, and have a sensitive sense of smell, hearing and taste. They can sometimes lose themselves in battle, snarling, growling and sometimes even purring. Their teeth are far sharper than others. Some say itā€™s a curse that was placed on the Belmont's. Others say thatā€™s just how the Belmont's were born. Sometimes out of battle they can be just as animalistic, protecting those close to them.
People think of them as demons from hell or just cursed beings. But the Belmont's are amazing allies to keep but terrifying enemies to make which is why the church hasn't really done anything about them. The church may have power and influence, but they canā€™t compare to the Belmont's magical and fighting abilities. Louis is one of the well known monster hunters, he does do bounties but usually if it gets his interest. He travels all over the world to find monsters who people have seen or if there are rumors of said monsters.

Hey! Wanna be FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF YOUR FACE mad about something? Let's talk about the SCANDAL OF DUCHESS MARIE...
I was reading James Pope-Hennessey's biography of Mary of Teck (wife of George V, grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II, major character in MISS SHARP'S MONSTERS, you get the drill) when I stumbled across the story of Duchess Marie of Mecklenberg Strelitz, who in 1898 made sensational headlines all over Europe for the most nightmarish possible reasons.
Marie was minor German royalty, a cousin once removed of Mary of Teck's (Marie's grandmother, Duchess Augusta of Mecklenberg Strelitz, was Mary's aunt and close confidante). Marie was raised in the strict and formal etiquette of the Strelitz court, supervised by governesses without any real contact with her parents. Similarly, like other carefully brought-up girls at the highest echelons of Victorian society, Marie had no idea of the facts of life. When her grandmother Duchess Augusta announced that their cousin Mary of Teck had given birth to a son, Marie innocently remarked that she thought it "very odd" that Mary should have a baby.
It was even odder when, in 1897, Marie herself found that she was about to have a baby. She was 19, and no less shocked than her parents were when they found out. As it turned out, the man responsible was one of the footmen who according to the rigid court etiquette had the job of seeing to the gaslight in the young Duchesses' bedrooms. The footman, Hecht - who was, by the way, already married - was immediately dismissed "for stealing". When he was unable to get another job, he consulted a lawyer and then handed over the whole story to the newspapers.
The scandal erupted around Europe, resulting in blaring headlines and the whole inbred family of European royalty pointing fingers and arguing. Duchess Marie's parents ostracised her, and when the baby was born they sent the child away at once. Queen Victoria disapproved: "It is too awful & shameful & almost sinful to send the poor Baby away. I hear fm a reliable source that the family have forbidden that poor unhappy girl's name ever being mentioned in the familyā€¦ I think it is too wicked." Queen Victoria assumed the young Duchess must have been drugged. Kaiser Wilhelm suggested hypnotism. But on the German side of the family, only her grandmother, Grand Duchess Augusta, believed in Marie's innocence as a victim of abuse. The Grand Duchess packed up her granddaughter and took her away to a hotel on the French Riviera to escape some of the scandal. There, Augusta and Marie were joined by Mary of Teck, who as the wife of the second-in-line to the English throne had the social influence to repair Marie's reputation slightly. Back in those days, of course, one's standing in society very much depended on who would or wouldn't be seen with you in public, and Mary's influence must have helped to calm the furore.
But Duchess Marie's ordeal was not yet over. The following year, she was married off to Count George Jametel, a man below her in station but obviously good enough for the damaged goods that Marie now seemed to be. The marriage quickly disintegrated, however, as Jametel was a womaniser who carried on affairs with many women including the Infanta Eulalia of Spain. In 1908 Marie sued for a divorce, citing her husband's notorious affairs and claiming that he had only married her for her money. Naturally, the old scandal was raked up again and thrown in Marie's face: as the unwed mother of a manservant's child, she had no right to complain of her husband's affairs!
The renewed disgrace was bad enough, but was quickly compounded by tragedy as Marie's youngest brother Karl fought a duel defending her honour - and was killed. In December of 1908, Marie was granted her divorce, but in the process lost all her money as well as what was left of her reputation.
Thankfully, this sad story of double standards and misogyny would eventually find a calmer, and I hope a happier ending. In 1914, Marie remarried, this time to Prince Julius Ernst of Lippe and the marriage seems to have been a success. Marie died at the age of 70 in 1948, hopefully not before seeing signs of hope that other young women in her situation might one day be able to find understanding and justice - although, to be honest, we still have a pretty long way to go today.

https://alexstorm.tumblr.com/post/190919042622/about-the-language-barrier-i-remember-someone
I just saw this plus another ask on somanylolas that I had seen a while ago that Louise has said they speak in French. And it was early 2020. Just last year at Rock en Seine we saw that Alex couldnā€™t even put literally four words together quickly and and it took him a little bit to finally form that (ā€œmaintenant notre nouvelle chansonā€). Iā€™ve also read her interviews and donā€™t remember her saying anything about the language they speak in and have never seen the comment mentioned in the ask linked above. I wanna know if she really has said that and are there screenshots?! Iā€™m pretty sure they donā€™t speak in French and I wouldnā€™t be surprised cause this is not the first time sheā€™s lied
I can't remember her having said that either. I assumed that anon was referring to another anon or something.
I do remember that she was bragging about having "invented" a new language for her songs which was quite funny for us at the time because she was just speaking Frenglish which is a pretty common mix in any language (i.e. Spanglish, Swenglish, etc.). And if you watch her DĆ©sert Live video you even get a visual with how clueless she is about English. lmao
I always had anons coming in claiming they spoke French with each other but there's no actual proof of that apart from a tweet that was very sus. Like you mentioned he clearly isn't fluent. The Hives spoke more fluently at Rock En Seine than Alex ever did. Alex spoke German more fluently than he ever did French. It's just wishful thinking from Louise Lovers or something the same way they wanna tell us her English has improved. Her IG captions would disagree there.

Hi, I'm back. I'm having a bit of trouble with Iowa and how to put her appearance. I placed her birth 1788, but I'm doubting myself because all of the sources have said 1833. Can you help me?
Hi!
I have absolutely no idea how late this is, my inbox doesn't timestamp my messages. Anyway, I am actually from Iowa. I was born in the state, currently live in the state, and grew up there, except for a short spell when I was a child and lived in Alaska for a few years before moving back to Iowa, to the same town I was born in. I again have no idea if I already mentioned this.
Enough of my yapping. More information under the cut.
1788 was the year the first settlement was established in the city of Dubuque, which is about two and a half hours from the small town I grew up in, believe it or not. I'm from roughly an hour from Des Moines. 1833 was the date of the Black Hawk Purchase, which was basically when white people fought a war against the Native Americans in the area and when those tribes lost, they had their land stolen. The war was called the Black Hawk war, and as such, the purchase was named after that. Cheerful, I know.
The state itself was acquired in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 but didn't officially become a state until December 28th, 1846. This gap came from Native claims over the state, where tribes didn't want to give up their ancestral land, which I don't blame them for. I personally would make that date in 1846 her birthday, since it's the actual date of statehood, but I can see why you would be a little confused since there are multiple dates that would work for this purpose. The date of the Black Hawk Purchase would also work just as well, and that date is June 1st, 1833, when the ratified treaty went into effect. Your choices are December 28th, 1846, and June 1st, 1833, though I'd suspect that Iowa would end up being older since, even before white settlers arrived and sole their land, Native peoples had been residing on the land for thousands of years.
As for appearance, I can weigh into that. I'm a first generation Iowan, meaning both myself and my younger sister were born in the state, but our parents are from elsewhere. My father is from Ohio, my mother is from Maryland, but as someone who has lived here all her life, I can weigh in on how many people look here.
The largest ethnic majority is, no surprise, white people. Iowa is a largely rural state, with agriculture being one of the biggest parts of our economy, if not the biggest. We literally have more pigs than people living here, and a fuckton of farmland. I suppose my ethnic background doesn't count since my parents are from elsewhere (I'm Irish, French, and Italian, if you're curious), but we have a lot of people of German and Dutch descent here. If you wanna see the biggest Dutch population in the state, go to Pella. They have a literal tulip festival every year in the spring, one which I've grown up attending. They have a fantastic bakery there, called Jaarsma. Their ice cream is also great. There's also a surprising amount of people of Norwegian and Irish descent here. In other words, we have a lot of people with light hair, often straight or wavy, with light eyes.
I hope this helps, even if it's however late it is. Sorry about that, I'm a senior in college and it's hard to find time to do much.

You know how tags youā€™ve used before will typically populate when you go to add some on a new post? I gotta say, my main blog auto-populates very simple tags while my side blog really shows who I am as a person.
That being said, I want to list my faves for each letter so I can look back on this in a year or so. For ~posterity~ šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø
A-Z:
love me a villain, but my brain is being an asshole, i do not claim her, dead laugh love, but my god it should be eaten with considerable moderation, love that for me, my life is heavily influenced by ā€˜my german friendā€™, i usually have a main necklace that i wear 24/7 but i havenā€™t done that in a while, i was not made for this, the first one is just to prove i was normal on occasion, but god knows how long that hiatus will be (god being the mangaka in this scenario), just a lil fella, monch monch, i need to be scaroused, itā€™s because i type how i think and itā€™s just a series of convos with my brain, iā€™m vague posting look at me go, good news: there are quite a few!, ripperoni, the tears are still on my face, but the sentiment remains, but likeā€¦ i kinda wanna know what that not nice character over there is up to, itā€™s that one vampire that looks like vlad/arthur one, grr woof snarl, oc x canon, the world needs more yandere, zen

Og Candy Cupid~Sweet, bouncy, always excited about something, really tries to be nice even if she ABSOLUTELY DESPISES YO AHH-, super loud and obnoxious sometimes, lovey dovey, hates Barnaby with a damn passion
Opposite Candy Cupid~Always angry at some mf (mostly Op!Wally-), loud, sassy, idk what else to put, just the opposite of Og igšŸ’€

Opposite: Actually not pure evil, just fighting for her family. Got kicked out of the Cupid society (exiled) is now a heartbreaker (theres a difference between those who are exiled being anticupids, and heartbreakers, anticupids are vengeful and want the Cupid society and the gods taken down), anticupids start a war Candy is forced to fight in and she feels bad and runs away, but is guilty for leaving her friends and family (her sisters were anticupids)
RF: Actually insane, maniac, mental, wtv tf you wanna call her at this point she probably is. Also a cannibal šŸ¤©, only likes kids (REALLY LOVES KIDS :3 not in the Drake way though...), spent 10 years in the factory trying to save her kid (Devin, who was 14 by the time she saved him), runs the terminal (secret place under tha factory where all the super dangerous experiments even Wally can't handle are sent, only person higher than Candy's authority in the terminal is ArthrĆ³s, who was evil but became nice (Father figure demon anyone ā‰ļø)
Actress: Sassy and mean to Wally only but really super nice to everyone else, divorced her husband (Brutus. Also she's the only one who left Brutus, NO, RF DOESN'T COUNT, SHE *KILLED* HER BRUTUS, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE), literally the hottest-šŸ’„šŸ”«
