AGAIN? WHY IS MY VAMPIRE BARBIE ALWAYS BEING TORTURED AND USED AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE

[chuuuvi]

🎶February 2024 Top 5s🎶

Artists

1. Chairlift - Funny story, theres a lot of music that I’ve just refused to listen to again because it reminds me of a specific time in my life. One off-limits album that I used to love is Moth by Chairlift. I randomly discovered recently that I can listen to it again without it feeling tainted so that’s exactly what I’ve been doing! I’ve had that album on REPEAT!

2. flor - One of my favorite bands since high school. I adore the lead singer’s voice so so much. It’s just really lovely. Check them out!

3. TWICE - Yay! It’s Twice! I love them! Honestly it’s been a little while since a Korean Twice release has really clicked for me but With YOU-th really really clicks. So happy! (☆_☆)

4. Liang Lawrence - honestly I don’t know a thing about her but I found her on one of those “made for you” spotify playlists. Really like unposted letters, really like the pilot, feel positively but not strongly about the rest of her songs. She did get bumped up in my streams because I know that I fell asleep with her on loop once.

5. Caroline Polachek - The deluxe edition of her latest album came out this month! Or well the “Everasking Edition” whatever thats supposed to mean. Desire I Want To Turn Into You is really good and I was happy to revisit it! The added songs are really nice too. Listened to it quite a bit this month :)

Songs

1. Moth to the Flame by Chairlift - Ugh this song is just fantastic. Caroline Polachek’s voice is so hauntingly beautiful and she’s just doing her beautiful thing all over this dance-y beat. It just elevates what would already be a good song to a whole other level. That basically describes the whole album really.

2. Dangerous by TEN - AREN’T YOU A DIVA?! This is so good! Congrats to Mr. Ten on his solo debut. Absolutely infectious groove.

3. Show U Off by Chairlift - More from this same Chairlift album. Sooo good! This one is especially fun and funky.

4. want u back by joan - still here for the second month in a row huh? Lets see if it can make it a hat trick! I do love this song

5. YOU GET ME by TWICE - Mmmm yessss! Hearing that people didn’t like this album is insane to me like wth. Anyway You Get Me is the perfect closer to a skip free EP and is probably my favorite kpop song this year so far. It’s very much like.. whatever that genre that SM said RIIZE was supposed to be? Do you guys remember that? Emotional Pop?

[imaginefan]

Can you do a part 5 to I'll try where Klaus sends him to Mystic Falls for him to be safe and the reader is at the bar drinking his sorrows and he sees Caroline and Elena come in and Elena walks to him and ask " How could you save Katherine after all she's done?" He looks at her and says " Easily she made me into a vampire gave my life a purpose and also made me meet my family and she is a survivor she doesn't wait around for people to save them me and her are the same and I will not go after Katherine again Elena I don't care who an line with and don't go crying To Klaus he is on my side and let's say I have an upgrade." The girls walk out in walks Damon Y/N raises his glass and Damon walks to him and says Y/N Conrad Y/L/N I am sorry I wasn't a part of your life human and vampire life your mom came to me in a dream telling me to look after you and I know you hate me but I have been trying to protect you as is Stefan their is a secret that only Stefan and I know I did find you and your mother when you were born before your mother's parents through you guys out in 1862 I snuck into the house via window and I saw your mom holding you in her arms and she looked at me and asked " What are you doing here Damon Conrad Salvatore?" I look at her and say " Needed to make sure your okay." She looked at me and says " Just peachy gave birth to an Bastard boy and my ma and Pa only give me three weeks here and you visit and you told me you can't be with me so don't go anywhere near our precious baby boy you didn't fight for when I was pregnant with you protect him now from your father and anyone else." I nod and Sneak back out and I head back home and I see Father cornering Stefan for where abouts father turns around and sees me and says " You went to see Y/M/N I know she gave birth last night to 8 pound baby boy." I nod but look down and he doesn't hit me or threaten her or the baby so I just walk up to my room and I scream.

I finish the story and Y/N just looks at me and says Sarcasticly " You just want to protect your precious Elena and to do that you need me well news flash Pa I am loyal to the Mikaelson and Katherine sometimes and Klaus let her go after puppy eyes I got them after I pulled them on Rebekah and Hayley. They like me without Obligation. Lets ask you this if I wanted you and Stefan to drop everything and cone with me to New Orleans would you probably not." As I finsh I feel a dark pressence and Damon pulls me into his side and says " Hello mother and Jullian nice surprise." I look at him in WTH did you say the woman speaks " Damon dear who is this young lad with you." I leave his side and say " Watch it lady I have some powers and fangs and I am with the Mikaelsons so if any thing happens to me you rain hell on yourself the name is." Before I can finish Damon puts his hand over my mouth and won't let it go so I lick his hand and he let's me go and I speed out and go to the cemetery and I sit by moms upgraded gravestone must be Damon's or Klaus doing but suddenly the world went dark.

Jullian kidnaps Y/N

So Klaus and Srefan and Damon and Lily Salvatore team up just in time for Lily to find out she has a grandson

Hope that you like it!

May 2023

An unexpected pizza party! I briefly thought it smelled like a pizzeria when I walked down the stairs and when I arrived at the dining hall two huge tables with many different pizzas were set up for us. We ate ate all together at a huge table like a family.

The first self-guided yoga practice I actually enjoyed. An asana plan and pre-programmed bells wth Insight Timer really help a lot.

Stepping outside after my yoga session, seeing a double rainbow in the sky.

Deep talk with Robert. Hard hugs.

The story about Kali appearing as a black cat.

Seva Day. Getting to sit in the Karma Yogi common room (sitting behind Ashley, giving her a back massage). Tarot and oracle cards everywhere (drawing a card suggesting to "bring joy to what you're doing"). Sanding and oiling two wooden benches in the workshop (a place where I felt at ease right away). Alexius gave me his scarf. Then I removed some masking tape from the floors on Clair Joie. I love practical work.

Picking flowers for the library.

Feta cheese, green olives, pink sauerkraut and leftover pizza for lunch.

Helping Judith set up and clean my room. Having a nice and easy conversation. Relating.

Another dream after which I woke up crying - sobbing, really. Ringing in my ears, seeing a bright white and purple light behind my forehead. So real I had to open my eyes and check if the light was coming from outside. Spooky. Happened twice now, Almost as if a portal has been opened and now all the stored sadness is just flowing out freely.

Conversations with Nana over lunch and nestled into a dark corner one night. About finding balance. Making decisions. Astrology and energies.

Turning the Karma Yogi lounge into a Berlin night club ca. 1998. Light effects, group hopping, Hadi DJ-ing.

A magical night with a bright waxing moon. Clear sky. The stars and the moonlight shining through the leaves, sitting in a swing. Listening to the sounds of the forest. Owls, toads, rustling leaves. Everything in full bloom. The smell of the lilac in the air.

A long talk with Maya. About everything and nothing. Meditation. The mind. My Vishudda chakra. Our families. It's so much easier to bond when there's not a ton of people around!

Spontaneous back massage for Ashley when I sat behind her at the Seva meeting.

A rebirthing breathwork session with Maya. I had a mainly physical reaction, feeling my whole body vibrating and pulsating - especially the hands and solar plexus. My channeled my inner child and all her sadness, hurt feelings, fear of connection. Afterwards I felt really good and had a long nap.

Sitting under a tree after lunch. Sunshine. Verima playing the guitar, singing for us in her beautiful voice. Robert, Lucie and Verima's friend from Berlin were there, Maya, Caroline and Alexius joined later. I made daisy crowns for every one and a few daisy rings as well. The hippie alternative for knuckle tattoos. It was a beautiful image, everyone singing, decorated with flowers. And it was so sunny. I was only wearing a short dress and had to be careful not to get sunburnt. Felt like the first summer day. A big ant ran over my arm and I decided to let it tickle me and play a little.

Stephen brought me sea salt chocolate from the bio shop and didn't even want money. I paid him with a big hug. What a cutie.

Blessing our food together (at dinner with Robert and a Dutch couple). Holding hands, singing Amour, Shanti, Sagesse.

My roommate during the three day retreat smelled extremely lovely. Probably her laundry detergent? Her clothes made the whole room smell fantastic.

Big buzzing bumblebees. Eating all my meals in the hammock or the swing. Watching the birds come and go, feeding their babies, whizzing from branch to branch. I even saw a robin a few times. Porridge and fresh bread for breakfast.

A blissful meditation on the second retreat day. Merging, blending, expansion. The eternal now.

Being fascinated with Thando's hair. My mat was right behind hers in Shiva Hall so I had plenty of time to admire her gradient dreads adorned with little seashells, coloured thread and metal cuffs.

Writing little goodbye notes for everyone. Closure.

The bright full moon reminded me of the little rituals I'd sometimes do during lockdown. So I felt the need to write down what I wanted to let go of and burn the note under a chestnut tree in the middle of the night.

Leaving Hridaya. Nice conversations with Paul from Colorado on the way to Lyon (he's a nerd, HSP, possibly on the autism spectrum... We found a lot of ways to relate to each other) Buying a bunch of local cheeses and lovely soft chocolate-walnut biscuits. Making my way to the airport, sitting down in "my" corner at gate 01. Meditating to the sound of crackling winter fire, tuning out as much of the noise and busyness as possible. It turned out to be an absolutely fantastic meditation. Feeling kundalini energy, realising which steps I have to take to work on my self-love. Crying quietly.

Getting fresh bread and orange juice, some tomatoes and the traditional "butterbreeze-upon-arrival". Hugging Frank for a very long time. Kissies. He told me everything about Marie. His problems with motivation, and finding a therapist. It's good to be here with him. I hope I'm not overstaying my welcome.

Meeting so many friends. Pub quiz with Margit, Raphael, Dennis and Frank. Lunch with Helga and Marlies, eating strawberries on the rooftop. Drinks with Peter. Snuggling with Manu, learning about his "dream guardian", an animal he sees whenever he realises that he's dreaming, basically preventing him from enjoying a lucid dream.

My energy seems to have changed. A woman asked me for advice on which pair of sunglasses to buy. Others were asking for the way. Perhaps I'm more open and approachable? More examples: racing a guy down the escalator. We both had fun! And discussing the strawberries on display with a random lady to find out which ones were the most beautiful.

60min Thai massage. So good.

A guest appearance as Sphinx in Frank's DnD group. I prepared riddles and anagrams. Pretty cool! And I just love Carolina and Kevin. Visited them the next day for lunch and a Kundalini yoga session. Caro and me have so many shared interests! We need to become friends.

Checking out the dice collection in the board game store. The cashier specifically showed me the cat edition. Good intuition.

Kinder Happy Hippo is back! Creamy hazelnut filling. Fantastic.

Colour-coded thrift shopping. I only bought orange items.

A variety of Indian food to share, watching Hunger Games movies together. Yanch being vulnerable, talking about his weight gain. Sash's mum sending me a big box of beautiful, homemade macarons.

Meeting Valeria and Mark (and their little son Misha) at a café. Talking about equanimity, my studio/Heilanstalt idea. Buddhism, our jobs, finding the right community.

Meeting Marie for the first time. She seems lovely!

Spending more time with Raphael. Letting him write down the quiz answers. Asking for advice about Peru. I think he thrives when he feels useful.

Brand New Cherry Flavour - a random Netflix find. It has everything I want from a TV program: magic, kittens, lesbians, an amazing title, 90s vibes.

Building the little Lego forklift with Frank. It actually works! It was in the Schultüte I made for him when he went to work for the first time in months.

Spending exactly €22.22 at the store on my birthday. Of course I'll take it as a sign!

More birthday treats: going swimming, but I didn't force myself to swim for a very long time (a bit uncomfortable without goggles). Getting a Baba Ganoush wrap at Beirut Beirut. Instead of birthday cake: a pot of strawberries with whipped cream and a few Raffaellos on top. Ordering a few new piercings and earrings on Etsy.

Playing Kicker and pool with "my men". Frank, Manu, Raphael. It's a little pathetic but it made me feel special. I don't know what it is - a mix between the princess position and being one of the dudes. But I could definitely feel the love.

Spending more time with Raphael. I've missed him.

Realising how many amazing friends I have (and that I know most of them from school or met them on OkCupid). I feel very grateful. My Goldmarie/FLEX birthday was lovely.

Frank stepping up his game: he got me three big pink roses and strawberry cake with a box of Raffaellos for my birthday! Manu also told me that he'd almost organised an airport pickup for me. Maybe he actually meant when he told me that I was really important to him when we were in Amsterdam. Also, I'm so glad he's doing better. I really like his new girl Marie and watching him play his saxophone solo at the Jazz Night made me feel like a proud mum. We make very good flatmates, too! Feels like home.

Speaking of which: the Independent Women vocal ensemble was fantastic. Great voices and they chose pretty cool songs, too! Some of the girls wore great outfits as well (even though it was all black some of them really managed to put together something special and unique).

Seeing Bordeaux through fresh eyes. Jasmine growing up the walls in the alleys. So pretty in the evening light against the blue doors. Ramen noodle soup. Waking up in my little coffin, overlooking the sunlit rooftops. Meditation. Journalling, enjoying a coffee and a croissant on the rooftop terrace.

Orangina gummy candy.

My Ajna Chakra started tingling like crazy during my first meditation at Plum Village.

There is a cat house at Plum Village. I definitely came to the right place. The curious young kitten that regularly joins the walking meditations and makes somersaults whenever it's trying to catch a flying bug brings my a lot of joy. And I befriended Tiéu Nhi, a 17-year old senior cat. Super gentle, shy, plays like a young kitten. I gained her trust with sweet talk and good scratchies. She purrs when I pet her, even lets me hold her sometimes and accepts head boops. I'm honoured.

Very nice Vietnamese food every day. I especially love the half moon-shaped soup tofu and the amazing fresh baguette we eat with margarine and plum jam every morning. Fruit with tahini. Vegan spring rolls. Sweet bean soup with coconut milk. Even the soup broth is always delicious.

Sharing circles. I often relate to everyone so much more afterwards and I realise that I'm not alone with my feelings (something I just naturally assume). The sharings about ancestral trauma and the practice of "touching the earth" were super interesting. And when the sister talked about running away from home during her Dharma sharing I really felt her pain. Emotional contagion, compassion, a trigger?

Looking out the windows of the big hall, seeing the bamboo forest and the reflection of the lights in the glass. It looked like a fairy meadow with glowing lanterns between the leaves.

Getting to know Nora, Jade's friend. Talking about our experiences at Hridaya. The girl who handed me a tissue at the sharing circle (which means she noticed I was crying... ugh, why is vulnerability still so hard) Learning about languages in Madagascar from Sandia. So many lovely people around here.

Sweetened English Breakfast Tea as a regular substitute for dessert.

Practicing mindful eating. Eating slowly, stopping between bites, chewing really well. Giving thanks for the food. Waiting for the table to fill up before starting to eat. Bowing to each other. At one point during breakfast, I had this very clear feeling that I was full. It was amazing to see that my body is sending me signals all the time, I just have to be still enough to notice them. Tuning in. I'm going to experiment with smaller portions from now on to see if they'll already satiate me. Perhaps my way to stop overeating?

Walking meditation with all the monks and sisters, volunteers and short-term visitors. Quite the procession.

My little corner in Dharma Nectar Hall. Writing nook. Yoga mat. Cat nearby. All I need. Performing Ardha Chandrasana (half-moon pose) under the skylight which looked very much like lunar surface with the moos and dirt resembling craters.

A lovely Lazy Day. Talking to Lanting (she's got a master's degree in Buddhist studies, I love people who allow me to pick their brain) and Adele. Yoga in front of the Buddha statue. Dinner outside by the lotos pond. Painting while listening to podcasts. A walk to Happy Farm in the afternoon sun. Imagining holding hands with my parents. The orange poppy-like flowers. Daisies. Language tandem with a Sister. Partnering with Yara from Basel during the "Beginning anew" presentation (I really feel like I should visit Basel now, I keep meeting amazing people from there), relating to her sharing. Anne talking about an interesting educational program. Standing with Julie in the dark kitchen, listening to her stories about finding her practice.

The tiny snail attached to the glass door at eye level before morning meditation.

Tiéu Nhi walked up to me in the morning when I was sitting in my usual spot meditating. "I'm here now! Come cuddle!" So I followed her to her sofa to cuddle. I left for breakfast and returned with a cup of water to paint. On a whim, I offered her the water and she drank out of my hand! I'm in love. / The next day she meowed again in the morning and I picked her up, lying down on my sofa with her. She sat on my belly and seemed super content. Peaceful moment.

Vegan Pho with gluten/"vegan ham". A lime wedge. Tasty mushrooms and fresh herbs.

The Queer Sangha Dharma sharings, offline as well as online. Confirmation that my gaydar is on point. Gentle, open and aware people. So much love and respect. Feels very special.

I googled Jula and Frieda (yeah, I've definitely got a crush) and their CVs kinda confirmed my intuition that I really need to quit my job. One look and I was like... I am so much more. I want that for myself as well. Cried a tear into my porridge bowl upon this realisation.

Sister Spring sharing the Touching the Earth practice with us. Powerful.

Meeting Kati from Austria. Interviewing her about what's it like to have a psychiatrist and psychotherapist as a mum (apparently good).

Finding a cool "Breathe/Aloha" sticker for my water bottle.

Mark still sending me long voice messages (and a selfie of him and Tom, I think they met up in Berlin or Vienna!)

Jade. Her hugs, generosity, way of speaking. Learning from her, being more mindful, trying to speak in a more respectful and considerate way. I appreciate her a lot.

I'm really happy with the Caring Cacti family here at New Hamlet. Lots of lovely people. We've got a lot in common and the Sisters are lovely, too.

The moment I noticed I could actually listen to the Dharma talk in French and take down the headphones with the English translation. Practising French with my roommates (also I'm grateful that our room has been drama-free so far and we're getting along very well).

Bamboo stick exercise does wonders for my back. It feels SO good.

"So you've never felt the attraction that comes when someone who's capable of doing terrible things for some reason cares only about you?"

"I did once, when I thought he was worth it."

Bamon was only implied, they just had moments and quite noticeable chemistry, but the creators didn't have the courage to put them together, Julie Plec pretty much admitted she was aware of their potential, but she said it would make Bonnie look bad - i think she lied and there was something off-screen, but what I know. Rather, I wanted to show the hypocrisy that a woman and a man can be friends, which is true, but for some reason it only applies to characters who they don't want together or it's tactical shipping. And Bamon fandom was not that small, so why Bamon fans should deal with it, but other people who did not get what they wanted can express and feel entitled? That did not seem fair to me. What is even funnier is that i noticed the same people (not all of them, I just noticed the same nicks) claimed Stefan and Lexi should be together - literally the most memorable friendship from this show, like wth. In order to feel it, I chose one of the popular couples who remained friendly, because the argument can be applied to them as well and applied it. Caroline was, after all, a friend with every guy she ever slept with - Damon (at the end), Tyler, maybe even Matt, but it was never confirmed they did, but she loved him. I'm not trying to prove you wrong or something, I'm just explaining how I meant it. Thank you for your opinion and being decent, if every fan was like you.

I might offend someone, so please consider if you wanna read this.

People (DE fans) who say how much their love Damon and Bonnie's friendship are the fakest people ever.

They do not love their friendship as much as a fact they are just friends and that's a difference. But many other people who were friends can start a relationship, even Damon and Elena were friendly in season one, but do not you dare to do it with Damon and Bonnie…because a male and a female can be just friends. BEEP! An another lie detected, it's not about urge to see more male-female friendships, it's a tactic to protect their toxic wreckship.

The series presented bunch of hints there can be something more. Actors acted their scenes purposely to show their chemistry. They put their foot in the door, but did not go inside.

Caroline offered a friendship to Klaus and stood behind this decision. Why a lot of people from the same group had tantrum they did not end up together or weren't even dating? A male and a female can be just friends, right?

I've a whole bunch of posts and arts dedicated to people who wanted them to be more and de fans go there purposelly and yell"they are friends! Oh I love their friendship" (sometimes even with caps lock and sometimes they did not even love their friendship, they just remind they are friends). Like whatever, the show is ended, nothing happened, but would it hurt these people at least, just to be honest or leave it alone, instead of their fake support, when it's all just about interrupt a group and showing support to their (DE) ship. Better no support than the fake one.

Or I just overthink things to much, that's also possible. Anyway, this really needed out of me.

So, for the record, yes this is a very subjective post and I'm not against calling things as they are, Damon and Bonnie were friends and I'm not against freedom of speech, this is about decency….my problem is how delena fans hunt bamon edits, fanarts and ect, who are openly and visibly about their romantic potential, it does not make any sense other than drown out people who are for romantic bamon. That's how I feel it.

Okay, WTH, why are some people taking Ruby Rose’s statements and turning around and attacking Javicia Leslie? (We know why).

Javicia has no say nor power over this, and is more likely in danger of the same negligence to safety Rose was subjected to!

If anything, people should rally behind Javicia Leslie more because if they already let their Number One in the call sheet, their star get seriously hurt and not care about recovery, what would prevent the network and showrunner from pulling the same thing on Javicia and other stunt people!

The people that should be held to account are Peter Roth the CEO of WB TV and Caroline Dries, the showrunner!

And the answer is NOT cancelling the Batwoman show but taking the current heads into account and making a safer set with better work hours for EVERYONE.

This should actually be more about the discussion point for IATSE’s fight for a safer set with less hours!

So the American Girl Virtual Store Museum has a room for each historical character (except Caroline, MG&Cece and the best friends.... wth) and it made me wonder what the rooms would look like for those left out.

So uh. Part One: Historicals; Contemps here!

Elizabeth Cole: Slightly fancier than Felicity’s, and tinted blue. We have her bed with overhanging curtains, with her fashion doll and meet accessories on a side table, and a closet showing off her outfits. We should also have a stand of wigs, which she and Felicity stole from Annabelle. Elizabeth’s portraits feature her parents (with names!) and Annabelle.

Caroline Abbott: Her room would definitely be based on her parlor set, with her table and chairs, on which sits her travel basket and meet accessories. Inkpot is at her feet, and her skiff is either shoved into a corner or outside the window. Her family portraits include her father, mother and cousin, and we finally get a name for said mother.

Marie-Grace Gardner: A pale pink room with a vanity and meet accessories, a small closet of outfits (and ribbons), and a trunk holding the masquerade costume. Argos is under the window with muddy pawprints leading out the door, and you can see french language books, portraits of Marie-Grace’s father, uncle and aunt, and sheet music + letters from Cécile on a small desk.

Cécile Rey: A pale blue room with a half-canopy bed, Cécile’s parrot and games, her parlor desk and seat (with her meet accessories atop), and a trunk holding the masquerade costume. The Glassware and Treats can be seen on a table, with a wardrobe of Cécile’s outfits in the corner. On Cécile’s bedside table are books of poetry and letters from Marie-Grace.

Nellie O’Malley: Very similar to Samantha’s room, and including the curtains and table from the main cover illustration of Nellie’s Promise. Nellie’s doll can be seen on the bed, with books that Samantha shared with her on the sidetable. There are also a few items she’s repairing as O’Malley-All-Mended, and her light blue purse.

Ruthie Smithens: A very pink and girly room- exactly what Kit’s mom thought Kit would want- with fairytale items scattered all over- books, drawings of princesses, etc. Ruthie’s meet accessories can be seen on a side table, along with a crate of apples as a nod to Really Truly Ruthie. She also has at least one of Kit’s newspapers somewhere around.

Emily Bennett: She is placed outside in Molly’s yard, wearing her cardigan. While she’s sitting in front of the victory garden (with information on it included), she is on a path, with her scrapbook and rations book at her feet, and her flutophone in her hand. Yank is playing in the grass, near her wooden sled; as a nod to the movie, there is also a copy of A Christmas Carol.

Ivy Ling: Her room is very similar to the one shown in Ivy & Julie: A Happy Balance. She has a dresser with family memorabilia, including the “Good Luck Ivy!” family photo and her gymnastics award. She has several 70s records, tape on her floor from practicing her balance, and several schoolwork books, with a head-start on her family history project. Her denim purse can be seen hanging from her bed.
