Men waxing before and after photos

Greetings,
I would like to share my story, as it seems many are unaware of insecurities and how deeply impact our relationships and eventually our mental health.
I have met a very beautiful girl through dating app and i was fell in love from the very first sight. I was so excited of having such a beautiful girl, and as i know she was excited too. We loved eachother with all heart. She was my girl of my life! Our sex life was more than great, too much passion and for the very first time, i never got bored even after one year of daily sex. It lasted one year!
We started having a lot of time together, although there were some initial signs, which then i found them flattering but in the run, they were devastating:
1)In a party with my friends, i have asked to come with her friends. While she was on the party she got mad, because my friends were dancing with other girls than their wives, so she got offended. She left the party and i was like wtf! From that moment and every meet with my friends, she was not talking to them, and she was accusing them to me, of being unfaithful and not moral ones. I was always saying to her, that i dont care what other people do in their lives, i just only care about her!
2)When we were out together she was always thinking that i stare to other girls, which i never did the way she thought, if i was staring. I explained her, that i may look to anyone who is passing in front of me, even if he is a male or female, ugly or beautiful, tall or short and im not doing that because i dont care about her or i leave her for the stranger that passes by. This was a common reaction of her, every time we went out!
3)I once got her an expensive present for her birthday, which took me about a month trying to find and buy it. Once i gave it to her, she refused to accept it because it was too expensive as she said and also told me that i took that present for her so as to sexually exploit her!
4)She was checking my facebook account and got mad, when i Loved a photo of a female friend of mine. She told me that she didnt want to like or love any photo because in her code if she loves a photo it means that you like erotic someone a lot. I respected that although i explained that she was always a friend and i never loved any photo of anyone. Guess what... she was loving facebook photos of men and her ex and when i told her about it she got mad again trying to underestimate it.
5)she even was jealous of her dog because she thought that dog loved me more than her which it didnt. Also she told me that even a plants leaves were towards me because it liked me!!
I could write so many similar incidents but would take too much time. Point is that i think she had insecurities leading to overthinking and getting to negative oriented results only
In the first days, i was jealous too but not overeacting like above. She like to dance latin and almost twice per week was going to parties where she could dance like with 10 guys in a night. I once went to see her and i couldnt handle the sight, so i told her that i dont want to go out with her in such parties. I never asked her to stop dancing, and after 2months i wasnt even jealous about it, as it made her happy and i was happy too.
Also the part that i do think that i was absolutely wrong was the incident which i was so wrong. All the above incidents were before the incident i describe downwards
I had an ex girlfriend, 10 years ago, which lasted our relationship for like a year and she was still communicating with me. She told me that she had cancer and needed my advice and help as she had no other to ask help for. We met and i told her that everything would be ok and she shouldnt be afraid as she was young and she could overcome it.
I told my girlfriend that i have a friend with cancer and she needed my help BUT i never told her that she was my ex like 10 years ago, because i didnt want any tension to arise. Also i dint tell my ex that i was in a relationship. I thought ill make her sad although I admit that this was my very bad mistake and i shouldnt have lied (white lied?) to my girlfriend and her. I knwo it looks like that i wanted to have contact with both, but im the one who can tell trully if that was the issue. I only wanted my girlfriend. My girlfriend eventually sniped my phone, when i have told her that she loved a facebook photo of his ex, and she learned that she was an ex that was also trying to get me back. She also read that i never in these texts i was even a bit emotionally with my ex, i was trying only to comfort her with her illness. She was accusing me i was cheating her
The day she sniped my phone, was when i told her that i would like to have family with her and keep the baby as she was pregnant 4 weeks. She told me that it was the happiest day of her life and then sniped. That made her mad. She started sending me youtube videos that our baby has a lot chances being born with problems and i was so badly mentally abused. I told her that the decision to keep or not the baby will be respected and supported whatever it was. After a week she decided not to have the baby and eventually after 2 months we broke up. All this time we tried even with a councelor to overcome this but with no luck.
I was devastated and started to search info to explain what happened
She told me that she dont want to experience ever smth similar and to have no contact at all.
8 months later i still think of her every single day and for many hours/day, i tried two times to talk to her again with no response.
She also told me that i need a psychologist because i always stare at women etc..
I started doubting about me but i made a lot of research and learned about anxiety attachement style and insecurities with or without projection.
Im not sure if insecurities can be treated. I do although love her and wish her the best in her life! I wish she could find a guy who will be better than me and make her feel safe! I wish i could have helped her better! I know im not perfect but a decent guy...

“So, how much?”
I didn’t know Charles well, but well enough to guess that the grizzled hog farmer was a talented salesman. ‘No lowballs,’ I imagined him drawling, waggling his finger, and speaking over his exceptionally jutting chin.
“Three-hundred fifty for the land, the pen, and the house,” the man said. He spat, hard, and the tobacco-black phlegm stuck to the side of the fence post and slowly ran down the side in three rivulets.
“Then another twenty grand for the hogs. Two-hundred thirty-three of ‘em, not a large passel. Price of swine is goin’ up, I’ll tell you, so t’s the best I can give you for what you’s gettin’.”
I had expected to hand him even more money. Charles and his wife had a small operation, but big enough to matter, with a beautiful two-story farmhouse to accompany it nicely. I wasn’t getting a better deal anywhere else. At least not anywhere I wanted to be. I’d longed to live as a farmer in Tennessee ever since my family’s entire property burned to the ground back in the fall of ‘68. It was dry, and we’d just fertilized after the harvest.
Not a living thing was left untouched by the flames, not even my father, who ran back to get the horses after the barn shot up with a pillar of fire. We never found his body. Or maybe we did, but the charred dust of the barn, the corn, and the animals we called our lives and the blackened remains of the man that was my world were all reduced to ashes in the end. And when the wind came, they all blew away just the same, forever to leave me, my two sisters, and my mother behind.
I held out my hand to Charles and we shook on it.
It wasn’t the life I envisioned for myself. Not when I got my engineering degree from Georgia Tech. Not when I began work at a small engineering firm. Not even when I saw the hog farm for sale less than an hour from my house did I realize that was the world I lost that I needed back. My wife didn’t care; in fact, it brought her work commute down to forty minutes from an hour ten.
After we moved there and I began consulting part-time to make allowance for the time I needed to spend raising the hogs, caring for the land, and tending to my now-pregnant wife, the fulfillment I sought seemed that much closer. But only that. Closer, yet still out of the reach of my yearning clutches. It wasn’t until two years after I bought the farm, almost to the day, that the chips seemed to fall on my side with her.
“Micah?”
Jackie was calling from the cubicle over. Then I heard footsteps coming towards my own office space.
“Hey, yeah, did you finish the drainage plans for the floodplain you were working on? If so, I’d happily review and sign off on them.”
Jackie had come here a couple of years after I did. She was an intern at first, and everybody loved her cheery smile and sharp intellect, so she was hired on after she finished her degree. The youngest of our crew, she lived by herself in an apartment, but her lack of experience didn’t keep her from coolly sharing her opinion on matters of work when she knew she was right. And she was always right.
Jackie had always taken a liking to me in a way she didn’t seem to show toward the others. I never became sure of why she did, but I had my suspicions. Trauma and mystique go hand in hand. Maybe she saw me as broken in the same way she saw herself. After all, it didn’t take a psychologist to tell Jackie had her own skeletons in her closet. She just had that aura, the one that neglected children and broken adults share with each other. Nobody knew what life she walked out of and nobody cared. She did her job, and that was all the company cared for. But not me.
I turned away from my computer screen towards the opening of my cubicle and she was there, half silhouetted by the light behind her, staring me in the eye. Jackie trailed a finger down the edge of the cubicle wall, her mouth open barely enough for me to see her tongue flit deftly over her perfectly-aligned incisors. Ignoring my question, she continued.
“Your wife, I take it?”
She gestured with an outstretched palm toward the wedding photo I had framed on my desk.
“Yeah. Hard to believe we’ll be a family of three soon. Ha!”
I chuckled, nervously. Slightly excitedly, too. I can’t tell if Jackie knew that the latter was for what I knew was coming rather than what I had already said, but I don’t think she would have cared one way or the other.
“Say, she must be lonely waiting for you at home? I know that feeling. Being lonely.”
She took a step towards me and I glanced down at my feet. Looking back, it felt like an eternity, that looking down, that knowing what was happening and making a decision. It was a choice. And while it felt like it stretched for minutes, hours, I knew it was but a moment. Yet it only took a moment to make my descent into sin.
“I know it too. Well. Too well. She’s on a business trip - a long one. Say, I raise hogs. Prize swine, there’s good money in them. What’d you say about coming to see my farm sometime?”
It had been two hours since Jackie had left the farmhouse and was almost one-thirty in the morning, yet I wasn’t tired. According to my doctor, I have insomnia. According to my mother, I have “bad juju.” According to myself, well, I guess I just don’t feel like sleep is worth the trouble sometimes. That night, though, I didn’t sleep at all until the sun shone through my window in the early hours of the morning.
Living among swine never gave me a lot of grief before then. Some people hated the stench - my wife among them - but the manure never bothered me, and, come to find out, it didn’t bother Jackie, either. I would have asked if she had been on a farm as a child, but her demeanor and attitude told me that she wasn’t interested in the slightest in my life and that I shouldn’t be in hers, either. I suppose I wasn’t - not in the one outside of our affair, at least.
But that night, when the stars were out and shining like eyes in a limitless black sea, and when the wind rustled through the trees, a gigantic army moving across the land like a plague towards destinations unseen, I started to feel bothered in a way I never had before.
I had been sitting on the back porch in view of the pig pens after having just finished the chores. I knew I wasn’t drunk, I was only on my second beer, but sitting outside, half-empty bottle in hand, I suddenly wished I could be completely wasted. I’d never been one to believe in those types of things that you can’t touch with your hand or see with your eyes. The hair stood up on my arms and the taste of metal lapped my tongue as if a storm was coming. No, I didn’t believe in the things you couldn’t really feel, but I could sure as hell feel something now.
Unsettled, I was turning around to go get another beer before something caught my eye in the pig pen that made me glance over.
All of the pigs visible from this side of the house could be seen, through the metal fencing, staring in my direction. The ones who were blocked by the lumpy bodies of the other swine stood on the hind ends of the others to see. With their combined mass, the pigs strained the metal of the pen stalls until each stall’s fencing bulged out in the middle where the weight was distributed.
Most unique of all was the unanimous behavior of the swine. Not one fell out of sync. Each one, eyes glowing like headlights in the dark, bodies silhouetted against the light of the moon, was without noise or disturbance. Once all of the pigs were in position, they all stayed ominously still.
As I watched, one by one, hundreds of eyes closed, and a wave of darkness spread over the pen as no more eyes were open to reflect the light. I swore for a moment that the stars did too and that the world around me plunged into complete darkness, but I cannot be for certain, because at that same moment, I involuntarily blinked.
I say involuntarily because, frozen in place, the scene was too strange for me to willingly turn away from. I do not know if the same force that caused the swine to flicker their eyes caused me to do the same, perhaps a gust of wind - or of something less tangible - but upon opening them, the pigs had returned to their discord, with several having already gone to sleep. Deeply disturbed, I went inside the house and drank until the morning came and I finally found sleep.
My wife returned from her trip soon enough and without much ado upon her arrival. For the next month or so, the two of us were together, and our lives were lived without significant discord. None that she knew about, anyway. I never told her about Jackie and I certainly didn’t mention the times I saw my coworker after my wife returned, either. And while I did float an innocent question to her asking if she had noticed any of the hogs’ strange behavior, I didn’t enlighten her as to the motivation for my interrogative manner. She never appreciated being in the company of swine as it was, and turning her disdain into disgust wasn’t on my agenda.
Almost as abruptly as she had returned, my wife left, again, to be gone for the next week and a half on another trip. Probably best for her, too, because the hottest days of the year hit western Tennessee when she wasn’t there to experience them. And no sooner had she gone than Jackie resumed her nightly visits to the farm. Each time, she showed up without much notice, if any at all, and left just as abruptly.
Funnily enough, I didn’t care much. I felt no more and no less empty after she left than when she was here. So after I spent my days with my eyes on my screen and my nose in my boss’s ass, I spent my nights staring up through the bottoms of bone-dry bottles, faintly wondering if the path I walked down could’ve been just a little warmer or just a little brighter if things were different.
In spite of my catering towards my boss’s every wish at the office, he didn’t return the good-will in kind.
“What do you mean you’re asking for a raise?”
I swallowed and continued.
“I mean that it’s been five years, Glenn. I simply asked that my pay might increase to match inflation.”
My boss folded his hands across his desk and sighed. Pulling a handkerchief from his pocket, he dabbed at a couple of beads of sweat running down from his brow. We were in the heat of summer, and the air hung thick and humid around us. The office had air conditioning, but the unit was old, and the fan whistling away in the corner didn’t do much good against the record-breaking heat pressing in around us.
“I’m sorry, Micah. It’s just that you’re consulting, now, and… I can’t afford you those kinds of benefits-”
“What do you mean benefits? I’ve been here long enough I’m owed at least that, Glenn! What the fuck do you think I’m still here for? Pot lucks?”
That was the first time I had lost my temper at my boss; at least, the first time since he ripped up one of my drafts for a project several years back. That had been a long day for both of us. Now, Glenn sat back and scowled ever so slightly, and only for a brief moment, an indication that his inhibitions keeping his attitude in check were wearing thin. Nonetheless, he put on a smile, and chuckled coldly.
“Micah, look- you always were my right hand man, but you’re here so little now. One could say you’re more like my right thumb man, now.”
That was a long day too. The heat didn’t help. Somehow some bugs got into the office. Somebody probably left a door open to quash the heat, fruitlessly.
No wonder the AC’s shot, I thought to myself.
By the time it was the hour for me to leave, there were moths flitting around the lights, flies eating the stale food in the cafe, gnats alighting on every exposed surface in the office- insects were everywhere. I figured that door must have been left open most of the day.
Gotta be pretty stupid bugs, if this is where they want to be.
The time came for me to leave and I did so without a fuss. As little as I could manage, anyway. I took time to complete some errands and returned home, only to realize the heat wasn’t much less oppressive there than it was at the office, even if there weren’t any insects. If anything, it felt oddly empty without them, even after Jackie showed up. The rest of that evening was a blur of empty bottles and used cigarette butts littering the porch.
At some point — two in the morning, three, it didn’t matter — I was pulled out of my drunken slumber and forced into sobriety by a noise I could no more determine the source of than what I had eaten for dinner a year ago from the day. I sat up with a jolt and listened, suddenly feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
The sound, if it could be called that, was discordant, unnatural, wrong — and yet, I couldn’t remember another thing about it. It wasn’t a sound heard through your ears, a vibration in your skin, nor even a sensation of one’s physical brain; it was a thought processed through one’s sleeping soul, something that certainly cannot be described with words without diminishing the weightiness placed; without negating, in full, the sense of abject horror at its state of being.
I had sat atop that precipice between reality and unreality; sleep, the abyss, where devils absently play amongst the nightmares of men. I told myself it was just that, a dream, but I know now that the place I was and the places I was soon to go were gateways between the waking world and the one beneath it. Before I had time to process what I had just felt, I heard another sound, this one very much real, and resembling a dying animal. Slowly, I made my way out of my crumpled bed and opened the blinds. I almost wished, upon doing so, that I was back on the precipice.
Thirteen of the hogs stood in a circle on the lawn; how they had gotten out, I don’t know. Each stood perfectly still, equidistant from the next, and faced a quivering shadow in the middle of them all. I could make out faint features: a scraggly beard, a bottle- whether the man was a hiker or a drunk, I couldn’t tell. Nonetheless, he had wound up on my property, and found himself caught in a circle of pigs.
I watched the man’s motions and noted with rising horror that as he walked in one direction, the circle of pigs shifted to keep him at the center of the ring, and all the while they drew nearer to him. The man was clearly intoxicated now; it was almost half a minute before he stumbled, fell, and no sooner squelched in the dirt than thirteen squeals rang through the night and the animals blotted out his body from sight with their unified mass.
The man let out one scream but could manage no more than one. The ring was a blur of motion. I saw little but I saw enough; one pig reared its glistening head and I watched part of a scalp fly from its gaping mouth, arcing dark liquid as it trailed across the yard. Another couple chunks of meat rolled away from the pile and reached a stop several feet away in the yard; once the pigs were through with their feast, they broke off from the previous site, now nothing but a red stain on the earth, and gobbled up the pieces that had got away.
It took me the next four hours to get the pigs back into their pen, but I managed it. And, none had to be shot in the process, though I surmised I should come with a gun readied. A cleanup wasn’t necessary either; it was a hog farm, so it’d be getting dirty again soon. I considered another individual might find the stain, but there was no proof it was human blood, and I had no intention of calling the police out there.
That morning, my boss was late to work. I suppose that’s to be expected, though, when one has had their tires slashed. He was livid, and I didn’t correct his supposition that his ex-wife had committed the act, though I’m sure he would have loved another reason to fire me. After all, I was nothing more than a right thumb man.
The day had gone quicker and cooler than the former, and the low droning of the rain made the day seem just a little less lonely. Of course, I was slated to see Jackie that night, and after lunch I had left work, gone off to purchase more drinks from the local liquor store. I remember having gotten enough to fill the passenger seat of my truck, and felt almost as if the pile of liquor was a singular being, watching me; the silently judgemental friend. I had a twinge of anxiety, and half wondered if I was going insane; at that, I laughed.
The air was cool when Jackie got there. My mother always used to call that the first breath of autumn, when the reaper opened his eyes and cooed softly to his crop before the inferno was snuffed out by the frigid winter. As a child, I didn’t pay much attention to her words, but as I grew older I felt the cold in my bones, and tonight I felt it in my soul, a faint whisper of death like the mark of the beast. I watched Jackie’s hair whip to the side, a black flag in the wind, as she approached the house. On the doorstep, we embraced, and I recall she said she needed to talk.
“You’re an awfully successful man, Micah. And I know you’ve got a lot of money. Maybe you’re not wealthy, no, but you’re richer than me, and there’s enough to go around. It’d be a damn shame if your poor wife found out about me. No, I haven’t said a thing yet, and I know you know that, for the poor thing couldn’t take the stress and might just die. But I could say a thing, and maybe even a little more. And a nasty thing it’d be, too. I’d just ask for $1,000 a month, but times are tough, so I’m inclined to say $2,000 would be enough to keep my mouth shut. And, of course, we could continue seeing each other. . . if you’d so please.”
Some say they see red when they’re angry enough, but I still remember how I saw even less; the next five minutes of my life were no clearer to me than several brief glimpses of reality, interspersed by periods of unreality before the next glimpse. A scream, and then another. The thought: she’s got a knife. A bone snapped: mine, hers, it didn’t matter. Blood; spattered on the carpet, on my shirt, and the drip-drip of a glistening red globe, smashed in through the side like a cracked egg. I remember the silence before the adrenaline eased and I felt pain, and I remember the pain before the squelch when I issued one last kick to the body, lying on the ground.
It had been time for me to feed the pigs. Jackie usually helped me with the feeding when she came over, always with a coy look, and often it was short lived and I needed to finish the job on my own after she left. I was betting that she could help me again. Hoisting her up onto my shoulder wasn’t difficult, though I supposed she was lighter than usual. I stooped to pick up the last few pieces that didn’t come with the rest of her and took the two of us to our yard.
The part of the brain we, as people, already understand cannot possibly encompass every sensation which we, as people, feel. Scientifically, maybe- but that feeling that makes dogs bark at empty rooms; that makes cats stare into walls before jumping away, frightened; that feeling exists in humans, too. Call it a sixth sense, or ESP, it’s there, and I felt it when carrying Jackie. The birds had stopped calling, the trees had ceased rustling, and a low, droning buzz resounded outside the pig pen. It rose in volume and pitch, and as I dropped Jackie’s lifeless corpse onto the ground, it blocked entirely the noise of the world around me.
I didn’t even hear the thump. Nor did I hear the pigs, for it wasn’t until I looked up from her body, panting heavily from the effort of what had transpired, that I saw that we stood on the fringe of a gathering of the pigs. I couldn’t see if any remained in the pen, but I could see that at least a hundred gathered here outside the pen, all staring at me with glassy eyes and salivating mouths. Some stood on the haunches of the others to see, and many were covered in blood, having been left uncleaned since the events of the previous night. Even through the foggy daze I was in, my fear registered on a guttural level and, in horror at the unreality of what I was seeing, I backpedaled, eventually tripping over a rut in the earth and falling to the ground.
The next moment, each of the pigs had turned to look at what was left of Jackie. For a couple of seconds, they stared at her, and I realized that the droning in my ears had stopped, replaced with nothing but an ominous silence. That silence was short lived, for in one, unanimous, ear-splitting squeal, the pigs raced each other to the body, and carnage ensued.
The hogs in front no sooner reached the body than were ripped apart by the pigs behind them. Huge flaps of fatty skin hung in ribbons from the napes of their necks and blood sprayed in all directions as necks, limbs, tails, and extremities were mangled with the reckless abandon of a pack of wild dogs. I suppose that’s what they were; even if I treated them like domesticated creatures, they were animals, and they were out of the control of any constraints that civilization wanted to place on them.
The mass of flesh moved rhythmically and dripping bodies were flung like oversized rag dolls from the fray to land wetly and lifelessly on the earth. Occasionally, I would hear a crunch as bones were rent and snapped under the pressure of the fray, and squeals as the broken limbs stabbed through the fleshy bodies of the animals atop them. Hooves, teeth, and bones carved the flesh of the other pigs, and while blood and feces sprayed freely, chunks of gore rolled out of the fray like meaty baseballs.
The pleasant temperature drop had undone itself, as the wind had stopped blowing, and the stench of the scene hung thick in the hot and heavy air of late summer. I vomited, over and over, bent over in the shit and the blood, eyes watering from the smell, and blood dripped from everywhere on my body. It ran off my body in rivulets and pooled around my feet. Some was mine, but more was Jackie’s, and more yet was the remains of the pigs. Blood dripped from my mouth onto the dirt, and I could no longer tell if I was looking up towards the cruel stars, down at the earth, or witnessing the slaughter before me, for my sight was veiled by a coating of blood, and my senses were clouded by the rush of adrenaline, though I could do nothing but sit in shock.
Breathe.
A chunk of meat smacked me in the shoulder.
Breathe.
An ear bounced off of my forehead.
Breathe.
An opened artery sprayed blood across my face in a line.
Breathe.
My eyes recognized four pigs on the fringe of the conflict abandoning their course for what was left of Jackie and I saw turn to me, each foaming at the mouth like a rabid animal. I saw two get ripped away by two other pigs, but the remaining couple charged. The one that reached me first clamped its maw around my leg not a moment before the next reached it, bit into its neck, and thrashed it back and forth.
I couldn’t hear my own screams above the countless squeals of the hog pile and the constant wet ripping that resounded through the dark sky. Eventually, the pig that had bit me gave out with a squeal, but not before the lower half of my leg was snapped with one, final pull, and the pig behind then buried its face in the body of the dying hog before being dragged back into the conflict by another. I failed to even hear my cries of pain over the sounds of the fray; I knew I screamed only from the burning in my throat.
Breathe.
A second later, I was thrown by the arm and crashed against the soggy earth several feet away from the conflict. For a moment, I wondered if I was alive, or if the world I was seeing around me was really Hell, and I was a damned soul being punished for my sins. At that, I blacked out, and entered a timeless, dreamless slumber that sent the world back into the buzzing mayhem I had felt before the carnage.
I opened my eyes some brief time later to find that the buzzing persisted in my ears while awake. Perspiring heavily from the heat, I found I was lying on my back on the ground, facing the burning remains of my house. The buzzing was really the rush of flames lapping at the sky and the crackling of embers as the roaring fire pulled them out of sight.
“Swine,”
The voice, which rang impossibly clear in the noise of the night, above the roar of the inferno and the sounds of the approaching sirens, had come from but a few feet behind the back of my moist head. Even after all that had transpired, the word made my hair stand on end, for it was spoken with a voice that could snuff out the stars if it were to say that they ought to stop shining.
I turned my head to face behind me, groaning sharply from the pain, to see a man atop a mountain of hundreds of mutilated hogs. The pile ran with a constant stream of blood and feces, which dripped slowly over the terraced stack of corpses to form a small lake underneath, the edge of which lapped my face with miniature waves of gore.
“. . . they never learn.”
Then, the man smiled, and I realized with horror that his legs resembled those of ruminants.
And atop his head rested two ebony horns, glistening in the moonlight.

Hi,
So, I'm in a bad place right now both mentally and physically. As the title states, I was groomed by someone much older than me, it started when I was 19 (I'm 24 now).
I'll call him John, like I did in my other posts. I met John in an eating disorder chatroom when I was at a low point, and he offered to help me bc he had experience-he had an ex girlfriend with anorexia. I felt disgusted with myself at the time and he seemed trustworthy. I thought it was kind of John to help me. He was a perfect gentleman, not a single red flag from what I could see, which only strengthened my trust in him.
Bc I was in a relationship at the time, he respected that, but would still maintain and encourage my anorexia by starvation (the longest he starved me was for about 2 and a half weeks), exercise, calorie counting, weigh ins and body inspections (I was fully clothed at this point). Sometimes he would make sexual comments on my body but apologize afterwards.
Not long after we began talking, John told me that he began seeing someone. A girl named Summer, who was my age (give or take a year or two), according to him. Despite not being sexual with me, he would describe to me the sexual activity between him and his girlfriend. My own relationship was incredibly abusive and neglectful and John would encourage me to end it, but I never could—not until it reached a breaking point, and I was ghosted.
I was broken by this, but John swooped in and made sure I was okay. He checked on me, made sure I was safe from myself, and made me promise not to hurt myself. This is when John’s control over me grew, and our relationship became sexual.
Up until this point, John only focused on my eating and physical appearance (he would play "dress up", where he helped me find clothes and outfits that were more feminine and appealing to men), and he began teaching me about adult things. Before this, I had little to no experience in relationships or intimacy. It made me uncomfortable to talk or think about, and I thought it was gross; I felt inadequate and not physically appealing to my ex so I would ask John for advice. It didn’t matter though, given that my ex wasn't concerned with being intimate or romantic with me.
John's control over me grew over time following the end of my relationship. He would teach me things by showing me adult content and going over it with me and explaining what was happening; teaching me how to...touch myself, using adult toys (I had to practise everyday and show him video evidence). He also introduced me to BDSM and DDLG-I had to address him as either “Sir” or “Daddy,” which I didn’t mind, I wanted to show him respect because he was so kind to me. He would call me his “little girl”/ “baby girl.” DDLG was a safe space for me, at least I thought because it replaced self-harm, and I thought John was taking great care of me.
This was the same 24/7 ddlg dynamic he had with his girlfriend Summer, and , and when I asked if it was okay for him and I to continue talking with each other, he assured me that Summer knew, and that because he was the dominant one in the relationship, he could see whomever he wanted. He would call us his "good little girls".
Over the years, John became more comfortable being sexual around me, and he eventually controlled every aspect of my life. I was required to keep my body thin and completely shaven smooth. He would experiment with heavy restriction and starving me of all food to see how it affected my mind and body; but I still didn’t see an issue with this because I thought he was perfecting me; not to mention my mind was so warped from the anorexia by this point.
I developed a crush on John due to his kindness, and eventually I fell in love. I loved him so much, I would have done anything to make him happy, and he knew this. When I told him, he said he wasn't sure if he loved me back, but that he wanted me, and he showed this all the time, through intimate photo exchanges. He told me he was worried about me being in love with him, because he didn’t want to feel as though he was taking advantage of me, but our relationship continued. He knew I was so attached at that point, him leaving would devastate me.
Whenever I wanted to talk to John about personal things, and get to know him (vice versa), he wasn't as eager, but he would tell me small things about himself, but I was completely open to him. It was one of his rules, I wasn’t allowed to keep secrets from him, especially not with my body (I sent his body checks and intimate photos whenever he asked). One day I asked him why, and he said that he’s not good with letting people in, which I could understand because I am incredibly shy. Because John was so kind to me, and attentive and patient, I wanted to respect his privacy.
Sometimes, John would vanish for a few days or weeks out of nowhere, which always worried me; I’d grown so attached to him that it devastated me each time, I was worried something had happened to him. But he was mostly on business trips, according to him (he never went into much detail about his work, though, and given the field he works in, I wouldn’t have understood anyway). Once last year, he vanished for nearly two months, and I was so depressed, my university was forced to hospitalize me. Everyone would try to tell me he wouldn't come back, but he always did, and this strengthened my attachment to him.
Given how much it affected me, John began to let me know whenever he needed to leave, and he promised he’d never vanish without telling me, especially after how much my ex's ghosting had affected me.
Fast forward to this year in February, John vanished again. I should mention that our relationship was entirely online (I live in the south, he lives up north-U.S.), but he would even talk about coming to see me and how excited it made him. Last time we lost contact, I gave him my phone number just in case, but after a few weeks he never reached out, so I assumed something bad had happened to him. I was so inconsolable, I stopped focusing on school, eating for weeks, and I stayed in my dorm.
This is when I began looking for him. I was 100% devoted to him and it didn’t occur to me that he was playing with my emotions, so I used the limited amount of info I had on him, and eventually, I found him (with the help of some friends).
However, there were some issues:
1.His name wasn't John, it was Connor (but I’ll call him John for the rest of this story, to avoid confusion).

1. He had a Facebook, and it had photos of a woman and child (his wife and son).
   
2. He'd been married years before he met me.
   

4.His kid was born around the time he began initiating sexual aspects into our relationship.

1. His girlfriend probably didn't exist either, but there was a girl I came across, someone his life who matches the description he gave me to a “T”. I can’t be sure of this, but the coincidence is strong.

There was no doubt in my mind that I’d found the right person. It was the same kind face, the same smile—it was him. But i didnt know what to make of the information. Like, who would lie like this, and I'm so much detail for years? I assumed he'd been catfished ir something. My counselors at school wanted me to move on and forget him, they all saw him as a horrible person. But I’d been so brainwashed by this point that anyone who spoke against John could not be trusted in my eyes.
Before this, I was instructed not to go into too much detail about our relationship in counseling because they would send me to the hospital and quote, “take away his control.” This scared me, I didn’t want him to go away, so I never said anything. But when I was being encouraged to do things that went against what John taught me, I broke. I told my counselors everything, how I couldn’t dress how I wanted or eat whatever I wanted because John didn’t allow it, and he controlled everything. I was genuinely afraid of upsetting John by going against what he taught me. I repeated it over and over, but no one understood, they looked at me as if something was very very wrong, and it frustrated me.
My university counselors once again sent me to the hospital. Once I was released, I looked for John in other places online, but they were dead ends (not him, I guess), so I found his phone number. Now, he had absolutely no idea I knew of his real name, his real life, etc., so once I was feeling better emotionally and mentally, I called him. I was so nervous, but because of the way John had conditioned me, I was convinced that everything would be okay once we talked, that he’d miss me like he always did when he returned from work trips.
I said a prayer before I called him..once I told John who I was, he became flustered. He managed to stutter out that he had no idea who I was, and he hung up before I could say anything else. This is the moment I lost my mind, in the worst way imaginable. Throughout this entire ordeal, I clung to the hope that things would be okay once we talked, and after our phone call I was completely broken.
I tried rationalizing it in my head, like maybe he had been catfished, but his voice matched the voice messages he'd send me, and my friends who helped me find him informed me that he deleted his socials the day after our call, so there was no doubt that I had the right guy. He knew exactly who I was. No catfish. This also confirmed to me that John was a liar, that he’d manipulated and groomed me for sexual gratification.
After a few weeks of discussing it in counseling, I concluded that I’d have to say something. Not only had John used me, but there were other girls, too. I’m not sure how many but in the beginning, he told me of another girl (also anorexic) who he was helping (he showed me her bodychecks, but idk how old she was). There were also some secret accounts I came across during sleuthing, which showcased some very suggestive images of girls who could easily be mistaken for very young teenagers. I even showed them to my counselor, and she agreed. I’m not the type to throw out accusations, but it looked incriminating.
I know people have opinions on grooming, that it can only happen to minors, but when we met, I was a 19 year old in a vulnerable state (he was 34 when we met), inexperienced in both the world, and sex, and he introduced me to all of it, gained my trust over time, made me feel like the most special girl in the world. He conditioned me to do everything he asked, to please him no matter how uncomfortable or how scared it made me—he wanted to take my virginity when we “met in person.” If I were 15 instead of 19, it’d sound horrible. And my counselors informed me that even though it was online, it doesn't make my situation less valid.
I didn't notice how sociopathic (I genuinely mean this, not just throwing the word around lol) John truly was. How he'd keep forcing me sexually even when I begged him to stop bc it hurt/scared me (he'd use the word "force"). 1. How he used his “girlfriend” to make me more comfortable with the twisted things he asked of me, how he fostered jealousy on my end by describing their closeness. 2. How he never showed me pictures of his girlfriend (but I could hear him speak with her through our voice messages). 3. How he’d pimp me out to boys on my campus and have me describe it in detail. 4. How I’d get in trouble for saying no (punishments included clothespins, binder clips, forcing toys down my throat. 5. How I'd been starved to where my clothes hung off of me and my bones showed; and how much he loved it and thought it made me beautiful. 6. How I'd been hospitalized several times bc of him, whether it be malnutrition or depression from missing him when he was away for work. 6. How I'd have to perform sexually for the camera and show him (he mentioned showing a friend of his a few times), starving me for weeks, referring to sexual interactions with me as “molesting” or “abusing.”
Some days I love him still, other days I want to ruin him the way he ruined me. I don’t like revenge, even when the person deserves it. Anger and hatred terrify me, especially when I feel them, and my love for him pushed any notions of revenge out of my mind. But I can’t let this happen to another girl. I know I’m not in control of that, but I can at least bring attention to it. He seems like a completely different person online than how he portrays himself in person, around his family/friends. It’s giving Jekyll and Hyde.
I'm currently a student but I put my studies to use and channeled my anger into a case study on John (I need the practise), and I‘ve concluded that he could be sociopathic, with a paraphilic coercive disorder and sexually narcissistic tendencies. He loved control, showing dominance towards vulnerable, helpless, innocent (in terms of sexual experience) girls, and this is the way he kept me. He liked it best when I was docile and childlike from starving-it aroused him. There are subsections to pedophilia, and when we met, I was at the cut off age for the ephebophilia (ages 15-19), and the fact is deeply unsettling.
Now that I’ve reached these conclusions, I plan to bring this to light. And while I do not see this as revenge, my counselor informed me that it is, in the technical sense, so I can’t ignore that. I won’t go into detail about what my plans are, bc this isnt the place for that, but I’ve gotten the “move on and heal” speech from everyone I’ve mentioned this situation to, and honestly, it makes me feel like I'm being dismissed and brushed aside. Like it's not that big of a deal and I can move on when it's just been a few weeks. I know they don't mean it to come across in this way but this is how it feels to me. a
I want to make it clear that I was manipulated, brainwashed, and groomed. And after my previous abusive relationship, I am so, so sick of people taking advantage of me, letting me get attached and throwing me away like trash. At this point, I’m honestly convinced that’s all I’m good for.
John/Connor, the man who hurt me was white, but I didnt really see this as an important factor, as long as he was a good person, which I thought he was. He's married to a white woman irl, and the (possibly made up) girl he told me he was dating was also white, but the adult content he made me watch included girls of all races and ethnicities. He even described adult encounters with his exes, and he would mention their ethnicity while describing their body. Now that I know what he did, I just feel gross all the time. Icky. He'd talk about how much he loved my eyes, my full lips, how certain parts of my body stayed curvy even when he starved me to a low weight. Was I being fetishized?
To add on, I was also briefly married to someone (the ex that ghosted me) who only wanted me for citizenship, he neglected me and treated me horribly. He and his family gossiped about me to everyone they could, even bragged about my ex only wanting me for the citizenship. Everything about me as an issue, from the way I dressed, my shyness, my virginity, and my race (most of them are white passing- my ex identified as white too, even though he looked nothing close).
After what happened with my marriage, I thought John/Connor liked me for me. All parts of me, even my race. He was definitely attracted to me (you can probably guess how I know), and he would tell me that I was his, that I belonged to him. He treated me like I was good, pure and innocent, infantilized me, and treated me like a child (which i didnt notice bc I was practically an older teen when I met him), but he would sexualize me at the same time (not to an exotic level imo but I could be wrong about that, too).
Idk, despite my self esteem issues, my race was the one thing I didnt really hate about myself. I can change my weight, or the way I dress but I cant change this... not that I want to... I can't tell anyone in my life about this. They either don't have the time to deal with my emotions, or want me to just forget about it. I'm just really lost right now and idk how to feel. The more I think about it, I feel fetishized.

I'm going to do something a bit different and take a close look at two major works from the DC Universe: Darwyn Cooke's The New Frontier, and James Robinson and Paul Smith's The Golden Age. If you're playing along at home, the texts I'm using are The Absolute New Frontier from 2006 and The Golden Age trade paperback from 1995.
First a bit of personal context: I didn't enjoy The New Frontier when it first came out, serialized in six quite expensive installments. I loved Cooke's art, I loved the use of some of the more obscure DC war characters, and I loved the characterization of the Martian Manhunter, but the narrative didn't work for me when read in small monthly doses back in 2004. I had read all of the full-length work Cooke had done up until 2004, and none of it had disappointed me at all. But The New Frontier seemed to read more like a tour through the 1950s and 1960s than an actual story. It wasn't until the final issue that I really understood what Cooke was leading up to, but then it was over, and I didn't have the time or the inclination to dig out the back issues and read the whole thing in one sitting. Even when I got the two-volume trade paperback collection a couple of years ago (in an eBay lot of trade paperbacks I bought off of none other than comic book scholar George Khoury), I still didn't bother to read it. To paraphrase Hemingway's Frederic Henry, we don't do the things we want to do.
So I never actually read the entire text of The New Frontier until this past winter, when I was able to sit down with the luxurious Absolute edition and dive into Cooke's illustrated world. I enjoyed it immensely, enough that I wanted to reread it again this summer, which is what I have just done, and now I want to talk about it. But I don't want to talk about it in isolation, and I'm interested in the connection between texts, so I'll also talk about its logical precursor: The Golden Age.
Like The New Frontier, Robinson and Smith's The Golden Age deals with the era between the 1940s and the 1960s. The era in which the comic book Golden Age grew into the comic book Silver Age. The era in which America was undergoing its own transformation, moving from threats abroad to suspicion at home. And just as I had difficulty enjoying The New Frontier as a serialized comic, I couldn't appreciate The Golden Age in that manner either. I only bought the first two issues, actually, back in the early 1990s, and then I lost interest, vaguely thinking that I might buy it as a collected edition some day (even though collections were not guaranteed the way they are today). I did buy it when the trade paperback was released, and because I had never finished it originally, I read the collection immediately. And I liked it. But I thought it was deeply flawed.
I reread The Golden Age yesterday, after thinking about it in regards to The New Frontier. It's not a surprising connection, after all. Cooke himself claims The Golden Age as an inspiration for his own work. But my memory of The Golden Age was a bit hazy, and I recalled it being a much more cynical view of the territory than what Cooke achieved in The New Frontier. My recall was pretty accurate--Robinson and Smith present a quite cynical view of the late Golden Age America.
Now that I've read both works back-to-back, I'm interested in exploring what each says about super-heroes, what each says about America, and how each achieves its (very different) effects. These are the kinds of things I'll be looking at over the next few days.
James Robinson's use of History in The Golden Age
One of the things that strikes me about both The New Frontier and The Golden Age is the way the creators weave American history into their stories. On the surface, such a technique might not be surprising, especially considering that both tales take place in the past. And while it may be true that a so-called "historical novel" or "period film" would be amiss to neglect the details of history which fit its setting, the same isn't always true for comics.
In comics, stories set in the past tend to take place in some vague memory of the past, without any apparent intent in locking the stories into a particular date or era. Take the typical origin stories, or "Year One" stories which DC Comics' creators have retold again and again. In such a story, whether it be Miller and Mazzuchelli's take on Batman, or Waid, Augustyn, and Kitson's take on the Justice League, the setting lacks a distinct time stamp. The characters are younger, true, but the setting lacks specific period detail. The reason for this isn't at all surprising, because locking the characters' past into a specific date would require some major explanations about their ages in the present. Had Miller time-stamped the date on Batman: Year One, and included captions saying "May 3rd, 1980," or whatever, then that might have worked for a few years, but even if we assume that Batman was only 23 when he took inspiration from that window-smashing flying rodent, according to that temporal continuity, he'd be 50 years old in the current stories. And he's clearly not.
So we expect stories set in the past to avoid any kind of specific references to contemporary history, at least in comics. A recent jarring exception to that can be found in Diggle and Jock's newly released Green Arrow: Year One, in which a young Oliver Queen references the "Kevin Costner" Robin Hood. That means Queen must have become Green Arrow sometime in the mid-1990s, which might explain his age today (if he was 22 in 1992, he'd be 37 today, which might be right), but it also implies that his son Connor must only be a teenager today, and he's clearly older than that. Perhaps the reference will work better 10 years from now when the Kevin Costner reference will become part of the vague historical past, but right now it seems too current to make sense.
Anyway, the other MAJOR exception to the rule of not using historical references in comics is the case of stories set during World War II. Even comic books written at the time of WWII regularly included time-stamp references in a way that later comics tended to avoid. Yes, since then, Superman has met Kennedy, and you might see analogues of Bill Clinton or George W. in a story or two, but in the 1940s heroes came face to face with major historical figures (contemporaries to them) on an almost daily basis. Here's FDR! Here's Superman grabbing Hitler on a cover! Here's Tojo! Here's Hawkman enlisting in the army to fight overseas! Etc. Such close ties between "comic book reality" and real-life events never matched the heights of the WWII comics.
And that's why later writers, Roy Thomas MOST prominently among them (he practically invented the whole idea of historical nostalgia super-hero comics), felt compelled to weave actual historical events into the retelling of stories from the WWII era. Thomas's Invaders for Marvel and his All-Star Squadron for DC playfully fit the timeline of actual US history into the fictional timeline of the past super-heroes. In his letter columns, Thomas would often explain (or justify, for the more contentious fans) how the chronology worked.
But, other than WWII era-stories, most comic book stories that take place in the past (unless they are time travel stories, which have their own rules) DO NOT USE SPECIFIC HISTORICAL REFERENCES. It's weird to imagine novels or films avoiding such references—they would surely be criticized for it—but in comics, it's commonplace.
So, in the case of both The New Frontier and The Golden Age, you have two rather significant violations of that standard "rule." And both of which seem deeply indebted to the type of approach Roy Thomas favored so much.
Let's take The Golden Age first, since it was published a decade before Cooke's work. The Golden Age seems like a logical off-shoot of Thomas's All-Star Squadron. It features many of the same characters, and Johnny Quick, a relatively obscure DC character from the past, would certainly not have been a suitable narrator for the story without the characterization Thomas provided in years of All-Star Squadron stories. James Robinson is clearly building on the foundation Thomas created. So, it's not surprising that he would, like Thomas, blend US history into his story. Yet Robinson's approach differs in two distinct ways: (1) He doesn't seem interested in the exact historical details and how they fit into his timeline—he seems more interested in the general sense of historical forces of the time, and (2) Unlike Thomas, who was writing out of a Golden and Silver Age optimism and a belief in the American Dream, Robinson was writing from a post-Watchmen perspective, as a foreign-born writer, who could play with the cynical expectations of the time.
Thus, Robinson gives us coke-sniffing "super-heroes," corruption, brutality, and sex in a tale which features the "pure" heroes of the DC Golden Age of comics. Robinson's approach is not to use specific elements of McCarthyism or the Red Scare (even though those ideas are referenced at least once), but to use the general sense of paranoia and panic, the cynical manipulation of the public for personal gain, and the looming threat of the bomb.
Ultimately, however, Robinson uses all of this as a backdrop for a traditional super-hero romp. The coke-sniffing "super-hero" turns out to be Hitler in disguise!!! (Well, actually the brain of Hitler in the body of a former kid sidekick—talk about a symbol of corruption!) And the hero-turned-power-hungry-politician in the form of the patriotic Mr. America turns out to be old JSA villain the Ultra-Humanite, who knows a thing or two about brain transplants. So, in the end, it's just a classic Golden Age story about punching Hitler and defeating an evil genius.
But it's Robinson's historical subtext which makes the story resonate. It's his use of those undercurrents of paranoia and despair which make these formerly perfect heroes of the past seem flawed and human. His story starts dark and becomes darker but, by the end, Robinson's veil of cynicism falls away, and he reveals himself to be a humanist, if not an optimist. His reverence for these Golden Age characters would not let them be truly corrupted—it had to be evil masterminds and Hitler all along.
And that, perhaps, is one of the failures of The Golden Age. The shock of the initial chapters is just a ruse, and as low as these characters seem to sink, everything can be explained by pseudo-science and comic book logic.
It's just another Justice Society of America story, ultimately, but it's a good one. And Robinson's use of the undercurrents from that era of history make it work, even if it never transcends its roots.
The New Frontier and Camelot
While The Golden Age used the historical subtext to evoke currents of paranoia and doom in a super-hero story, The New Frontier approaches history with a different agenda. As Ultimate Matt pointed out in response to yesterday's post, The Golden Age is labeled an "Elseworlds" title, which not only grants it an exemption from DC continuity, but it allows more freedom for the creators to take the characters and setting in a fresh direction.
The New Frontier, however, is not labeled as an "Elseworlds." And yet, it strays far more from the currently accepted version of continuity than The Golden Age does. The key word there is "accepted." Darwyn Cooke, in his annotations, states that he approached The New Frontier with a set of rules:

1. The timeline is real and covers 1945 to 1960. Silver Age characters appear at the time DC started publishing them.
   
2. Retcons haven't happened yet.
   
3. No New Frontier retcons could contradict original continuity—they had to complement existing continuity or show a fresh point of view.
   
4. When the story ended, everything had to be as it was when the JLA debuted in Brave and the Bold #28.
   
5. Snapper Carr does not exist.
   

In other words, you should be able to pull out your original comics from that era (or the Archive editions) and read them concurrently with The New Frontier and nothing Cooke does should contradict what happens in those old comics.
The problem with the continuity is that the comics from that era didn't have any continuity. It was never explained how a character could be on the moon in one issue of his own comic, and under the ocean in the same month in his Justice League adventure. All Golden and Silver Age DC continuity is a retcon. So what Cooke did was create his own continuity—he made his own sense out of the various adventures as they were originally published, although the bulk of the book deals with the time between major events. Just like The Golden Age, The New Frontier is about filling in the gaps.
While James Robinson filled the pre-Silver Age gap with an almost allegorical tale of Cold War paranoia and corruption, Darwyn Cooke fills the gap with a sense of wonder and idealism, and he uses his attitude toward history to solidify that tone.
Cooke's approach takes three strands: (1) The Right Stuff-inspired history of that era, embodied by the test pilots and early astronauts, (2) The early promise of the Kennedy administration, and (3) The strange DC comics history as seen in the stories published during that time. Cooke uses the first two strands to illuminate the latter. He puts the Silver Age ascension into perspective as part of a generation of hope and achievement. He shows that the formation of the Justice League was not a random incident, but part of a larger historical movement which led (in our reality) to things like the Peace Corps and Apollo 11.
Cooke ties together such disparate elements as The War that Time Forgot, The Challengers of the Unknown, Dr. Seuss, and all of the characters who would join the initial incarnation of the JLA into a single narrative. And although it takes quite a while before the villain emerges and the heroes band together, the narrative is structured around the real historical forces that would have shaped the creation of these characters. John Broome doesn't wax poetically about the symbolism of Hal Jordan's career as a test pilot in the original Green Lantern run from the Silver Age, but Cooke takes the fact that he was a test pilot and places him in the actual context of such a man. He even includes a scene where the young Jordan meets Chuck Yeager.
That's quite a different approach to history than we saw in The Golden Age, which covers a very similar time frame.
Although Cooke didn't intend (according to his "rules") to change any of the original stories, his interpretation of "fresh point of view" allows him to add things which would have been more historically true even if they weren't addressed in the comics of the time. For example, he not only changes Wonder Woman into an almost plump, hawkish, zestful character (to signify her Greek origins and Amazon heritage), but he creates an entirely new character to illuminate the civil rights struggle of the time. Since he had no black DC characters to draw upon, he created a Silver Age analogue to Steel, the black Superman ally. The Silver Age Steel, unlike his modern equivalent, isn't a technological marvel. Instead, this earlier incarnation of John Henry suffers at the hands of the KKK before taking vengeance, and ultimately dying when he's betrayed by an uncaring white America (symbolized by a blonde little girl, who points out his location to his pursuers). John Henry never meets the Justice League or teams up with any heroes. His death doesn't affect them at all, really, since they didn't know him. But Cooke includes a scene where Edward R. Murrow mourns the fallen hero and laments the state of the country, bringing an actual historical personage into the DC story.
The civil rights subplot, although powerful, is overwhelmed by the exceeding optimism of the other plot threads. Cooke's America, as full of conflict as it might have been, is one of scientific progress and movement toward a brighter future. His villain, ultimately revealed to be Dinosaur Island itself (a sentient being who has unleashed monster after monster), is even more absurd than the Hitler-brain-transplant nemesis in The Golden Age, but because Cooke accentuates the fun and spectacle of the super-heroes (and, to be clear, his emphasis is on the men and women in the costumes, and the risks they take for their heroism), the absurdity of the villain doesn't detract from the story.
Both The Golden Age and The New Frontier end with similar images (the first appearance of the Justice League banded together) and similar sentiments (hope for the future), but where James Robinson built that hope out of the wreckage of the 1940s, Darwyn Cooke builds it out of the dreams of the men and women who sacrificed for the promise of tomorrow.
Both books end with optimism for comic books and optimism for our country, but they took starkly different approaches to get there.
The Unstoppable Force of Progress: Characterization in The New Frontier
Since both The New Frontier and The Golden Age re imagine comic book chronology through one part actual US history, one part comic book history, and one part imagination, it's not surprising to find both Cooke and Robinson taking liberties with the characterization of these pre-Silver Age heroes. Both creators ask the question asked by any creator attempting to retell stories from the past: Okay, this is how they were portrayed, but what were the characters who did these things REALLY like?
I'll start by looking at The New Frontier. Cooke doesn't focus his story on one dominant point of view the way Robinson does (with Johnny Quick), but he tells his story through a few central characters:
Rick Flagg: Leader of the WWII-era Suicide Squad (and presumably the father, or grandfather, of the Ostrander-penned incarnation). Cooke presents him as a tough guy cliché. He's a Hemingway hero—he does what needs to be done and doesn't whine about it or waver in his determination. In Act III of the narrative, his position in the story is replaced by the similarly-characterized King Faraday, who also does what needs to be done, although he seems to have more internal conflict than Flagg. Faraday is a spy, after all, not a soldier. But both characters represent a government which has the best interests of the country in mind. If they hurt a few individuals along the way, that's a necessary sacrifice for the good of the many.
Hal Jordan: The man who would be Green Lantern is NOT portrayed as a cocky rocket jock, as he usually is in contemporary interpretations. Cooke turns his lack of fear into a self-destructive streak stemming from his face-to-face act of self-defense in Korea. In Cooke's universe, Jordan doesn't immediately become a hero just because an alien handed him a ring. It takes time for Jordan to learn that he deserves to be a hero, and that's a large part of what The New Frontier is about. He doesn't reveal himself in Green Lantern costume until AFTER he risks his life to save the world working as a pilot. The two-page "hero shot" of the characters walking towards camera (a la The Right Stuff) shows some costumed heroes, but Jordan is wearing a flight suit. Cooke seems to be showing that he needed to prove himself TO himself before he could accept his new identity, but his reluctance to use the power of the ring leads to Nathaniel Adam's death. (Adam is later reborn as Captain Atom in the comics, but that doesn't happen in this story, and as far as Jordan should be concerned, Adam is dead.) Cooke doesn't provide Jordan with any time for remorse, though, since he needs to use his ring to kick alien butt. The ring, by the way, is also shown as a symbol of destructive energy. When Jordan first uses it, he cannot control it, and it causes great damage. Cooke, then, seems to indicate that the ring might symbolize nuclear energy, and the subtext would be that Jordan's hesitance to use it led to another hero's death. Ultimately, Jordan is Cooke's symbol of the Kennedy era: conflicted, yet determined to bring forth a positive future—harnessing great powers for the good of the nation (and the world).
John Jones, the Manhunter from Mars: Jones says, "...this is a world where good and evil struggle in all levels of existence. I want to be a force for good." That's a simplistic view of humanity, but it's one seemingly shared by Cooke throughout this work. Good and evil may not be easily discernible on the surface, and Cooke gives us the threatening-looking John Henry (with a hangman's hood) as a hero and a little blonde girl as a villain, but the line between good and evil is absolute (and, in fact, John Jones assumes the role of a film-noirish detective so he can find the evil beneath the surface appearance of the world). Jones defines this ethical stance for the reader, and it represents the code of Golden and Silver Age comic books, which lacked anything but absolutes. Even though Cooke might try to provide some not-so-subtle shades of gray (Jordan as a murderer, Wonder Woman as feminist avenger, an undercurrent of xenophobia), his view of history seems to echo the simplicity of the comic book stories of the era. Individuals may not have always done the right things at all times, but it was an era of progress, and good triumphed over evil. The subtext could also indicate that governmental order triumphed over chaotic nature, with the unified heroes, under the leadership of the US government, destroying a threat that wasn't so much malicious as it was animalistic.
Even though Cooke's characterization of some of these characters, Hal Jordan in particular, might not match traditional representations of these individuals, I think it works in the context of the story. The characters serve the story and add a few layers to the text, but it's primarily a historical action spectacle, a celebration of progress over stagnation, and Cooke's characterization unifies the text. I don't think his characters have many hidden depths, but I think their lack of depth matches a story which is primarily about the grand force of history.
As one final observation: Cooke is actually better at small character moments with the minor characters than he is at developing convincing lead characters. The death of Johnny Cloud, Jimmy Olsen's eagerness, the sassiness of Carol Ferris, and several other character bits show Cooke's facility on the small scale, even if his epic narrative doesn't provide the opportunity for subtle nuances with the major characters.
Characterization in The Golden Age: Dragging Heroes to Earth
While Cooke ignores anyone else's retroactive continuity to graft archetypal personalities onto the early Silver Age heroes in The New Frontier, Robinson takes characters straight out of Roy Thomas's All-Star Squadron (like Johnny Quick on the left here) and Young All-Stars and sends them on a dark journey into the 1950s. Robinson does not re imagine these characters drastically, although he seems to do so with Mr. America (but that's part of his narrative ruse). Instead, he takes their established characterization and expands upon it by adding seeds of self-doubt, paranoia, and despair as the characters face a world in which the villains are not as easily identified as they once were. Robinson misdirects the reader at first by pretending to adopt a simplified Watchmen approach, pretending that he's showing what these characters would have been like without costumed villains to fight or gangsters to punch, when, in truth, he's simply changed the nature of the evil to something more covert and less easy to spot. (Which might seem Watchmen-esque as well, except Alan Moore showed us that the heroes were the villains in that story, and here, Robinson ultimately reveals that secret villains with brain-transplant powers were behind the whole thing from the beginning.)
Here's a quick rundown of the central characters in The Golden Age:
Johnny Chambers, a.k.a Johnny Quick: Johnny not only provides the book-ends to the story but, as a documentary filmmaker, he provides the exposition which sets up the story context. One of the things Robinson does NOT do well here, by the way, is clearly distinguish between narrative voice (provided through white, rectangular caption boxes), and newsreel voice over (also provided by white, rectangular caption boxes), although perhaps the colorist was supposed to use different color cues for each and didn't. The CHARACTERS who narrate, like Johnny Chambers, each have their own style of caption—Johnny's are rounded and blue, as you can see in the image. Actually, it's not that it's so difficult to identify the narrative voice, it's just that there is an omniscient narrator who pops up every once in a while for no good reason, and tells us things about the story sometimes, while other times he sounds like he's trying to give us character thoughts but not really: the highly subjective "fingers...fumbling...focusing...trying to..." immediately follows the objective "a photographer lurks among the rubble." The photographer is the one who's fingers are supposedly fumbling as he tries to snap the photo, so why does the caption sound like a bad Batman internal monologue? This really has nothing to do with Johnny Chambers, but I just wanted to point out this major flaw in the narration throughout. With so many characters (Johnny being one) actually providing narration through captions, why does Robinson add an omniscient narrator also? It's jarring and ineffective. It's like he took the strategies of Watchmen with the multiple points of view, and then spliced the conventional narrator on top of it. It just doesn't work.
But a few more things about Johnny: He smokes, and he wears glasses. He still has his powers, but even though they would help him in his day job, he doesn't use them. And he's incredibly suspicious, which is the characteristic that makes him the character the reader most identifies with. He's also lost the woman he loves because he works too hard, although he gets her back in the end. In short, he's a slightly older (although he actually seems to get younger as the story progresses, perhaps symbolizing his return to heroic stature), slightly more sullen, slightly more flawed version of the character we saw in the comics produced in the 1980s (even though those stories were set in the 1940s). He refers to his costumed self as "That Jerk!" at the beginning of the story, but ends on a hopeful note as he describes a "new age...fresh and clear and bright...as sterling silver!" He's never really a cynic, but his pessimism and self-loathing turns to optimism in the end (even quickly dismissing the threat of McCarthyism to look ahead to the glowing future of super-heroics).
Paul Kirk, a.k.a Manhunter: If we play out the James-Robinson-is-trying-to-do-Watchmen-but-not-as-well game a bit more, we could say that if Johnny Chambers is the Dan Dreiberg analogue (the low-self-esteem voice of reason and calm) then Paul Kirk is clearly the Rorschach character. He's the crazy one who will surely upset the apple cart, yet isn't that what has to happen in order to get to the truth? That's his role, anyway. Unlike Rorschach (in his insane way), Kirk doesn't have a methodical approach to uncovering the truth. In fact, he's tormented by the truth, which lies buried beneath mind implants, exploding into awareness only through a series of horrible dreams. He seems deeply disturbed because of the War, but he's actually deeply disturbed because of the secrets he knows. He's another character, like Johnny, who seems to become more youthful and vibrant in the final Act, when he is able to unleash his demons through old-fashioned fisticuffs. Unlike Johnny, though, he visibly suffers for a long time before he reaches the point of action. Here's a sample of his internal monologue from one of his many tortured dreams: "Save the eagle. Save it. Save—n...no...nooooohhhh!!" Then he wakes up and thinks, "Still afraid." That's about the extent of his characterization. He's tormented, fearful, and knows he should be better than that. And, "save the eagle?" Geez, I wonder what in the world that could possibly mean in a book about corruption within the American government. Clearly, even though this book is directed at an older audience than the original Golden Age tales, Robinson keeps his symbolism quite simplistic.
Tex Thompson, a.k.a. Mr. America, and Daniel Dunbar, a.k.a. Dan the Dyna-Mite: These are the two characters most radically changed from their Golden Age counterparts. Mr. America was a whip-wielding patriotic hero and Dan was a kid sidekick who later, under Roy Thomas's writerly guidance, became one of the lead characters in Young All-Stars. In Robinson's story, Mr. America becomes a corrupt politician who seeks power by any means necessary, and Dan the Dyna-Mite becomes America's beloved Dynaman, the only active costumed crime fighter of the time. And he snorts coke. And he's evil.
Neither of these two characters have internal monologues via captions for the reader, because that would give away the twist. Tex Thompson is not really who he seems, for he has the brain of the evil Ultra-Humanite (who has in previous stories adopted the forms of a gigantic white gorilla and a hot ex-starlet, among others). And Daniel Dunbar, who has fallen so far from grace in our eyes (a former teen sidekick with a drug problem whoring around) actually has the BRAIN OF ADOLF HITLER!
So there's not much to say about the characterization here, since these are two evil characters in the most simplistic way. What is interesting, though, is that (a) Robinson chooses one character, Thompson, who seems vaguely sleazy to modern readers anyway, what with that whip and the mustache, and when he's shown to be corrupt, we can buy into it, falling into Robinson's trap of thinking that it's just a regular dude becoming corrupted by power; and (b) Robinson's use of the pure and innocent Dunbar is also a good choice, because it is not only shocking to see him corrupted so extremely (before the truth of the brain-swap is revealed), but it's a nod to cultural expectations about former child stars, who, by the 1990s, were expected to grow up and become criminals or drug addicts or worse, at least by our tabloid-fascinated society.
Like a director who makes his film better through excellent casting, Robinson uses the right two ex-heroes in the apparent role of the villains. His bait-and-switch works, although I was personally disappointed that the threat turned out to be external (evil villains) and not the corruption of these characters from within.
Robinson uses other characters to show the corruption of innocence and loss of the heroic dream. Robotman, so noble in Roy Thomas's All-Star Squadron, has lost any humanity by the time of this story—he's pure machine, while Alan Scott, Green Lantern is conflicted about his duty as a business leader and law-abiding citizen and his passion for ring-slinging and butt-kicking. Hourman is shown to be addicted to his Miraclo pills, while the man once known as the Tarantula is an egoist with writer's block. Ted Knight, Starman, who Robinson would go on to write with great depth and sensitivity in the ongoing series about Jack Knight, is a mad genius who is trying to put the pieces of this shattered world together through science.
I should add here that Robinson, unlike Cooke, isn't drawing from the original sources as the basis for his story. He's adapting his characterizations from the work done during contemporary comics, as Roy Thomas provided retroactive characterization (and explanations) for the WWII-era heroes. Robinson is building on the layers which Roy Thomas built upon the layers which Gardner Fox (among others) built.
Overall, Robinson does provide a sense of disillusionment in his characterizations in this story, even if his narrative technique is sometimes sloppy or inconsistent. Cooke tried to add a bit of humanity to iconic characters in his work, but he was mostly interested in the icons of the era. Robinson drags his characters down into the muck and then builds them back up again, hoping to show how their inner humanity wins out (with all of its flaws) in the face of systematic adversity. Cooke's characters inhabit the skies, the stars. Robinson's characters live on the ground.
So, the final verdict, after looking at The Golden Age and The New Frontier for a week: Not much different than my initial assessment after reading them both last weekend. The Golden Age is flawed because of its inconsistent narrative point of view and it's cheap, brain-swapping revelations. Robinson and Smith capture the disillusionment and paranoia of the time quite well, but it all amounts to nothing except a superhero slug fest in the end. It's 80% of a great work, and 20% of stuff that doesn't quite fit (including the optimistic ending, which seems unearned). As part of a larger, genre-wide trend to make super-heroes more "realistic," violent, and depressing, I'm not a huge fan of its influence.
The New Frontier is flawed, but it's a flawed masterpiece, and I can imagine revisiting the story many times in the future (and I can't say the same about The Golden Age). Cooke tries to include too much in the narrative, and the main threat of Monster Island isn't presented as well as it needs to be, but the book contains dozens of amazing sequences, and it features sharp, engaging characters who flash in and out of the story. The speed of the narrative demands that the book be read quickly, and it works best when read this way, not because it allows the reader to gloss over the weak parts of the story, but because The New Frontier is an overture, and can be best appreciated when all of its notes are heard in rapid sequence. I didn't love it when it first came out, in the completely inappropriate floppy installments, but I loved it after reading the Absolute version a week ago, and I love it just as much after studying it closely all week.
As one final thought: Both The Golden Age and The New Frontier tap so deeply into comic book lore, and I am so deeply embedded in it myself, that I wonder if either of these works has any merit for a "civilian" reader. And I wonder if, perhaps, the darker, more "realistic" tone would be appealing to a non-comics fan, more so, perhaps, than the wide-eyed optimism (tinged with bits of darkness) seen in Cooke's work. Or would the non-comics fan find both stories completely useless and without merit? Are both works examples of the snake swallowing its own tail? I've already been swallowed by the snake of comic book geekery, so I can't answer that one.

Hola amigos and welcome back to our penultimate discussion for The Sisters of Alameda Street. The drama is heating up and it's still anyone's guess who Malena's mother is!! I know I found it SO hard to stop reading, so I'm looking forward to hearing all your theories and then diving straight into the end.
If you want to see any previous discussions check out the schedule and if you just had to read ahead, feel free to post your thoughts in the marginalia (with spoiler tags please!).
Below is a summary and discussion questions are in the comments!
Chapter 24: Amanda, 1940 – Amanda comes home late one night to find Nicolas and Enzo fighting. It seems to be about her and the fact that she’s been out with another man (or men?). Amanda tells Nicolas that ‘she knows’, implying that he’s gay, but Nico refuses to talk about and sticks to his wine and his work.
Chapter 25: Present day – Ana is disappointed that Malena is spending late nights at the club and says Maria Teresa called. Malena runs away by taking breakfast to Alejandra at the workshop. Alejandra is looking at an old newspaper clipping which she quickly hides as Malena comes in.
Chapter 26: Alejandra, 1940 – Alejandra is 17 and has a massive crush on Enrique Hidalgo, but he only has eyes for Abigail. She decides doing her makeup will impress him, but she fails miserably and just gets laughed at by her family. So instead she proposes to her father that she becomes the shop’s accountant; she’ll work for free and won’t swindle him like Rafael or eventually leave like Enrique. Her father agrees to have Enrique teacher her which means she’ll get to spend lots of time with her crush.
Chapter 27: Present day – Malena practices dancing with Sebastian at the club and is overwhelmed by his good looks and sexy moves. This distracts her the next day while trying to help Claudia pick a wedding dress. Mama Blanca tells Malena that Abigail used to sew and points out her old sewing machine. Malena lulls Mama Blanca to sleep by reading her Los Sangurimas (which sounds like a scandalous novel!) and then snoops in the sewing machine where she finds a photo of a man named Victor.
Chapter 28: Abigail, 1940 – Abigail is at Maria Teresa and Manuel’s wedding. She’s agreed to go out with Enrique after he laid it on thick, but is still dreaming of the man who saved her from drowning. She notices that Ana has seemed a lot happier lately, but her thoughts are interrupted when her mystery man arrives! It turns out he’s Maria Teresa’s cousin, Victor Santos Aguilar, but he’s been living outside of San Isidro for the last few years. Abigail suggest that Victor teaches her how to swim and they meet at the pool every day for three weeks. It’s all very sexy and Abigail even gets a hot kiss in before Victor reveals that he’s training to be a priest. He promised his dying father he’d give the outside world one more chance, but he’s decided to fully commit to the priest life and is heading back to the seminary.
Chapter 29: Present day – It’s New Years Eve and Amanda has made an effigy of Enzo to burn as part of the tradition of Año Viejos. At the club, Javier has a secret of his own and is in the band. Malena and Sebastian perform and everything is going well and getting sexy until Claudia shows up! She’s pissed and jealous and puts on some heavy PDA with Sebastian to mark her territory. Meanwhile, Sebastian’s mother has got wasted, pukes everywhere and needs to be taken home. The next day, Ana tries to scold Malena for her actions and an argument breaks out between her and Amanda. Malena notices the name Cesar Villamizar on the newspaper and decides to focus on that and stay far away from both Ana and Claudia.
Chapter 30: Ana, 1941 – Rafael’s tio has died and he’s inheriting his ranch. While Rafael is excited at the prospect of no longer having to work for Ana’s father, Ana is can’t bear the thought of being hours away from the new love of her life. She convinces Rafael to go ahead of her and spend six months fixing the house and seals the deal with some unwanted sex. Rafael leaves and Ana plans to run away until Abigail show up and says she has something important to tell Ana.
Chapter 31: Present day – Malena decides to visit Sebastian under the pretence of finding out more about Cesar. She’s distracted by her growing crush, but manages to ask some questions while she cooks Sebastian lunch. He asks Malena if she’s going to marry Javier and Malena is embarrassed that he remembers seeing them at the seedy hotel so quickly leaves.
Chapter 32: Present day – Claudia goes to Sebastian’s house in the middle of the night. She wants to move the wedding to next week and tries to have sex with Sebastian, who unfortunately is thinking about Malena instead.
Chapter 33: Present day – Malena sees Sebastian dropping Claudia back off early the next morning and is offended that he already forgot about her and her cooking. Malena decides she can’t go on pretending to be Lili and is about to make an announcement to the family when Claudia beats her to it and tells everyone about the new wedding date. Her and Malena have to go to the dressmaker’s together that afternoon for a fitting.
Chapter 34: Present day – Claudia and Malena are on the bus when it crashes into a car being driven by a young woman. Malena wants to help, but Claudia is distressed and drags her away. They get into a massive argument and mud fight, until eventually they start laughing. At the dressmaker’s, they get cleaned up and Claudia notes that Malena has the same birthmark on her thigh that Amanda has, and apparently these things are passed down from mother to child.
Chapter 35: Amanda, 1941 – Amanda had been throwing up all night. Nicolas says that Enzo has seen her out with Enrique and believes she’s been with other men as well. Nico is willing to let Amanda go so she can start fresh with the man she loves, but she says he’s with someone else now. It’s revealed that Nicolas isn’t gay but impotent due to hypospadias with chordee. He asks if Amanda is pregnant. She asks if he’d raise another man’s child and he says no, it’d be too humiliating, so Amanda says she isn’t pregnant.
Chapter 36: Present day – Leaving the dressmakers, Amanda and Malena run into Enzo who accuses her of causing Nicolas’ suicide. Amanda slaps him and then runs away in a cab when Ana tries to interfere. Amanda wants Malena to go to the club that evening, but Malena is afraid of upsetting Ana. Instead she takes the opportunity to snoop through Amanda’s purse and take the armoire key. When everyone’s asleep, she sneaks in and gets out Abigail’ diary. It’s mostly about Victor until an entry at the end reveals that agrees to marry Enrique and then the rest of the diary is charred black. Javier comes into the room!
Chapter 37: Present day – Malena confesses everything to Javier and he takes it surprisingly well. He even agrees to help Malena by looking for the newspaper article Alejandra hid. Javier has a memory of Abigail being pregnant, but says he can’t be completely sure it was her. The next day, Malena goes to the newspaper to meet Cesar. She asks him if he knew a Hugo Sevilla and even though Cesar denies it, it seems he’s lying. Malena realizes that Cesar fits the description her neighbour gave of the man her father argued with the night before he died! Back at the workshop, Amanda is accusing Alejandra of having stolen the armoire key. Alejandra was the one who originally burned it, but she claims it’s what Abigail wanted.

Welcome back to the Community Corner!
Last time, we had a chat with EtherealEOD—the fantastic 3D digital artist whose work has graced many Spotlight blogs.
This month, we are joined by LaSinity to learn about her personal journey with the Halo series and what she gets up to as a full-time content creator.
Welcome, LaSinity! Thank you for joining us for this issue of the Community Corner. Tell us a bit about who you are, what you do in the Halo community, and where we can find you online.
First of all, thank you so much for having me—it really is incredible to have this opportunity. ****
My name is LaSinity, but you can totally call me Sin. I'm a full-time content creator and aspiring HCS caster and desk host from Detroit, Michigan. ****
I livestream on Twitch, I create content for YouTube, and I host a podcast called Ladies Night. I cast Women of Halo tournaments, as well as coed community events and tournaments as well.
You can find me at twitch.tv/LaSinity or just @LaSinity on most social platforms.

How did your great journey with Halo begin? ****
Honestly, my boyfriend played Halo for years and I never was into it or into playing video games in general. I used to be a heavy drinker and party girl for about ten years of my life—not the fun type of party girl either, but the type of party girl who just drank because she was sad. He would play video games, I would drink until I went to sleep.
I saw him play Halo almost every single day—from campaigns to multiplayer. If he had a bad day, he would pick up a controller and boot up a Halo game. I always admired how he had this outlet to just unwind, and I was desperately searching for one myself but didn’t even know where to begin or what hobby to even try. Eventually, I got very tired of how my life was going and decided to make some major changes. That meant getting sober, quitting the jobs I had, and figuring out new hobbies to keep myself busy and my mind distracted.
So one day, when I was feeling frustrated with life, instead of picking up a bottle, I picked up a controller and started playing Fiesta in Halo Infinite. Now this might sound crazy, but the first time I hit a kill sequence and heard Jeff Stietzer’s voice and the medal pop up gave me the “high” I looked for on a daily basis. I was hooked. I got a new job in the cannabis industry and all I would do is work 8 to 12-hour days, come home, play Halo. I worked there for two-and-a-half years before getting laid off, which was probably the biggest blessing in disguise. With more time on my hands, that meant more Halo.
Now this worked out great until my boyfriend and I both started to fight over the Xbox! He was essentially forced to get me my own so he could have his back.
I truly believe that if I didn't make the choice to play Halo that day, I probably wouldn't even be given this opportunity for this interview right now. I know a lot of people share this sentiment: Halo truly changed my life.
What are some of the areas of Halo that you particularly enjoy and why? Campaign and story, multiplayer, Forge, the expanded universe, etc.
I enjoy everything about Halo, but my answer here might be a little different from most. Something I truly enjoy—about all Halo games for that matter—is the music.
I am a huge music nerd, I used to tour and work with bands for a very long period of my life. Music holds a big part of my soul, and the music in Halo is incredible—it really has the ability to immerse you in the gameplay and makes you really feel the intensity of the scenes that much more.
My favorite Halo track is “Impend” from Halo 2. It’s played during a couple of scenes in the game, and I actually had EDM artist GREX remix it and add some voiceovers from me into the track as an official theme for my content.

Who are some of your favorite Halo characters and why?
I really enjoy the Arbiter and Cortana.
I like the Arbiter because I am a huge fan of Keith David’s work. He has voiced so many characters that hold some importance to me or my childhood. Growing up, Gargoyles was my favorite cartoon. I remember fighting with my brother to put it on over TMNT —if he didn’t let me, I was a brat and would cry until my mom forced him to change the channel. I even had a stuffed plush of Goliath. When I was younger, I was convinced that every girl had a Goliath somewhere saving her. Some girls liked Prince Charming, I liked Goliath the Gargoyle. So, when I played Halo 2's campaign and heard the Arbiter’s voice and got to see the journey he went on as a character, I was hooked. I like Cortana because, simply put, I think she’s a badass. She doesn’t put up with any BS and is straight to the point, even loses her marbles there for a moment—making her totally relatable. I cosplay as Cortana at conventions; something about being blue and in her character just makes me feel unstoppable. I like to think other women out there watch her and feel unstoppable too.
Let’s talk about Ladies Night—tell us about this awesome podcast you host!
Ladies Night is a little passion project I started that focuses on women in the Halo and esports space.
I try to host them as often as I can on Wednesdays, bi-weekly at 7pm EST. I film this live on Twitch, and then I upload them directly to my YouTube after.
It is the first and only community-driven talk show event to be featured on the HCS community calendar four times. I am incredibly proud of that!
What led you to create this podcast—did you have any particular goals in mind?
Honestly, I noticed how few opportunities women get in the space. There are so many talented and kick-ass women who play, but the fact is that joining a male-dominated space as a woman can be a little scary.
I’m not saying I'm trying to take this space over, the majority of people I game with are men and are open to women joining the space, but what I am really trying to do is to encourage other women and young girls to pick up a controller and join a community by way of sharing the stories of other women who are already involved in hopes that it makes them feel comfortable enough to try themselves.
What does it mean to you personally to be a voice for women in the esports space?
It means a lot, and that statement is wild to read! It gives me a lot of emotions. I never wanted to be a “role model,” I just wanted people to feel more comfortable to join the space—and with that, I became a voice.
I hope, with that voice and the responsibility that comes with it, that I am able to make people proud, or inspire someone along the way. Maybe it’s to be kinder to others, maybe it’s to start creating content. Either way, I just hope that what I’m doing makes people feel like they can do something too.

What are some of the things you love most about streaming? Do you have any personal highlights from over the years?
Connecting. I love connecting and meeting new people. I like being able to bond with people over something I typically wouldn't be able to in everyday life.
One highlight that I’ve talked about before is UberNick gave me my first ever Twitch raid. I was at that weird stage in streaming where I felt like I was just streaming to nobody and wanted to quit. My boyfriend took it upon himself to go into UberNick’s stream and ask him to raid me when he was about to end, and Nick did. My boyfriend ran downstairs, and all of sudden I had 300 viewers—my heart was pounding!
That was cool because it kinda made me feel like a larger creator took a chance on bringing their community to me, and I was very thankful for that. I met some incredible people through the Halo community specifically because of that Twitch raid. That will always be one of my favorite highlights.
Do you have any advice for folks out there who might be looking to get into streaming or podcasting and are finding their feet?
YouTube will teach you everything! Can’t figure something out? I promise you there is a YouTube tutorial on it somewhere.
But most importantly, JUST DO IT.
Stop waiting around or making excuses to yourself as to why you can’t do content. You don’t need expensive equipment, and you don’t need to be the best editor—there are so many free programs out there that can help you along the way. Not to mention, it’s a total learning process and for most a new skill set to learn.
Be easy on yourself. No one is going to be Leonardo da Vinci the first time they pick up a paint brush. You just need to START!
Do you have a favorite piece of Halo merch on your shelf?
Yes I do, and it’s more of a sentimental one. My favorite piece on my shelf is probably my 2023 HCS World Championship Pass. That event was my first Halo event—my first LAN event, even. It holds so many memories that, any time I see it, I just get super stoked.

You got to share the Community Stage with (and sit next to!) the one and only Keith David, voice of the Arbiter, during the Pictionary panel at last year’s Halo World Championship event. I’m gonna assume that was something of a life highlight!
Yeah, I won’t lie, I was so incredibly nervous. That whole situation was so wild in how it played out. My boyfriend and I did a lap around the venue, and for whatever reason I looked at him and said “Wouldn’t it be crazy if I got on the broadcast or on-stage today?” and he was like “You probably could!”
We walked up to the Community Stage as they were asking for audience members to come and play. I looked at my boyfriend and said “THIS IS MY MOMENT,” and I just started jumping up and down and saying “PICK ME.”
And well, they did.
I got on stage and realized I was playing Pictionary with Jen Taylor and Keith David on my team against Steve Downes. I literally beat the Master Chief at Pictionary!
The winning answer was “What would you have your Arbiter do?” and it was so fitting because I was saying that all weekend long. It truly felt like I was supposed to be there at that moment. I ended up winning a Megablox 360 set and I had all the voice actors sign it.
I actually saw Steve and Jen this past weekend at Motor City Comic Con and they remembered me. Jen was excited to see me again and celebrate our win once more. Steve’s feelings are still hurt. Understandable.
Do you have any other memorable moments and highlights?
One of my favorite memories at HaloWC 2023 was the SSG afterparty at the arcade place across the street from the venue.
SSG really threw one hell of an event and the hospitality from their crew—not just there, but the entire weekend inside and outside of the venue—was unreal. I will forever be an SSG fan, purely because of how well they treat people. They really made my first Halo event special.
What’s your favorite Halo game and why? ****
I absolutely love Halo 2. It has my favorite campaign and storyline, being able to learn more about the Arbiter was cool. Seeing and playing two different perspectives was also a cool experience.
What are some of your biggest inspirations in life?
My biggest inspiration in life is truly just trying to inspire others. I like to make others feel like they can accomplish the world. There is something about setting others up for success that truly makes me feel like I am fulfilling my duty as a person and that in itself is inspiring to me.
What does being part of the Halo community personally mean to you?
It means a lot. Halo gave me that glimmer of hope I needed and was that sanctuary my mind needed when I was going through such a rough time. Being able to be a part of this community and grow with it is very special to me—it's something I will cherish forever.
Do you have any folks out there who inspire you that you’d like to give a shoutout to?
My boyfriend, Cody. Most of you know him as “Womp” or “Womptastic.” He inspires me to be a better person every day. He really is my biggest cheerleader, and he makes me feel like I can take on the world. He encourages my ideas no matter how silly they seem, and really pushes me to challenge myself and grow. I hope that everybody finds a Womp in their lifetime. I love you forever, B.
And my duo, Sarvanah. I met her through Halo and she quickly became special to me. She has taught me so much, from patience to kindness, and she has the best energy both in-game and out. She pushes me to be a better player and she isn’t afraid to go up against harder players for the sake of growth. We’ve competed together a couple of times and have plans to compete at the HCS World Championship together later this year. She deserves all the praise, she is a great soul.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself!
I‘ve been in Detroit my whole life, but for about twelve years of it I lived out of a tour bus as I was working for various bands, DJs, and on Vans Warped Tour. I was a Stage and Tour Manager. When I wasn’t on tour, I was working as a radio personality and a hospitality agent for a North American EDM/Bass music talent buyer called “Ignyte Events.”
I’ve worked with artists such as Filter, Juice Wrld, Coal Chamber, BroSafari, Sullivan King, Escape the Fate, and more. I actually met Womp when he was drumming for a band that I was hired to work for. Music will always be my first love, I’ll always be a rock star at heart.
Thank you so much for joining us, Sin! Do you have any parting words to share?
I’m a firm believer in manifesting your future or creating your own future or opportunities. Don’t let anyone make you feel like you cannot do something in this space, because you can and you will. And if you need a little boost, or someone to remind you that you can do it—I am here, and you know where to find me.
Wake me when you need me <3

This is my first time writing anything like this so I'm sorry if it's a bit messy, I'm just not sure what to do. Before I jump in I think some back story is needed. My mom and dad divorced when I was 9-10, I was very isolated during that period and I had a lot of big feelings I didn't quite understand. I'm 16 now and I still don't know the whole story of the divorce. My mom got a boyfriend immediately after she moved out of my dad's house, and as I learned later that her bf was one of tbe reasons for the divorce. Now before I even met this boyfriend of hers, who I'll call Matt, I did not like him. Yes, part of it was just resentment because my mom moved on so fast, but it was something else. Even though I was young I knew he was trying to buy mine and my siblings love. It worked on my siblings but I held such a grudge on him, and of course my mom was not happy about it. Now to get to the actual problem, I'm not sure if he's creepy or if I'm just paranoid. I've had some bad experiences with men and because of it l've been very uneasy around any men that I don't know, but even after like 4 years of living with Matt I can't get comfortable. I don't feel safe around him at all. In the years I've known him, Matt has made MANY comments about my body. To me, to my mom, to his friends to anyone he can talk to really. He'll say things like "god, look at that body." He talks about how it to his friends the most, and they all laugh along. So does my mom. It's always made me uncomfortable and I've told him that. And the way he looks at not just me, but other girls is sickening. He was looking at my 5 year old cousin the same way he looks at me, but nobody else seems to notice it. He's a raging alcoholic, so when he's drunk he's worse. He's loud, he gets super close to me, he creeps on my friends as well. There have been a few times l've caught him taking pictures of me in a bikini. One time I was laying in the sun trying to tan and I caught him taking zoomed in pics of me. He proceeded to send them to me, and in the live part of the photo you could see him zooming in on my butt. My friends believe me, the adults in my life don't. My mom has had to come inside and convince him to go smoke with her to get him away from me and my friends, but she does nothing else. She does not care until I'm crying and begging her to get him away from me. I want to get out of that house. Adding on to all of that, I have severe m3d!cal issues that I NEED to be taken to the doctor for and they will not take me. Whenever Matt needs he's at the ER in 15 mins though. Idk what to do anymore and when he's not scaring me I'll convince myself I'm overreacting and that it's just my paranoia speaking. CPS did nothing when they were called, I just don't know anymore

Part 7
Kathy Evenson, Professional
At a tavern, somewhere in the Seventh World
Kells heaved a sigh as he tossed the bag onto the table. Several of the men in the taproom looked up, and he beckoned them over.
"What've ye got there, boss?" asked a particularly large man with a particularly deep voice.
"Well," Kells said casually. "Ye know how nobody's ever encountered a walker in the ruins an' lived t'tell th'tale?"
"Right," the man said earnestly as the others shot glances at each other. The big guy seemed a little dim, Kathy thought. Kells grabbed the bag and opened it up, showing off the turret that housed the pair of cameras the walker had seen through.
"Oooooooh," the big man said, the awe apparent in his voice. Kathy quirked an eyebrow at his instant recognition, but before she could ask how he knew it, the man spoke again.
"Uh, what is it, boss?"
Kells gestured at it with more than a hint of panache as all the other men leaned in to examine it better.
"That, me dear Fluffs, is th'eyes o' a walker. That Miss Kath 'ere killed all by 'er lonesome."
"No fucking way," one of the other men said. He looked at Kathy, then blinked, looked away, and looked back, his eyes carrying a great deal more respect, now that he'd met her gaze.
"Okay, maybe," he allowed.
"She looks a mite gods-blessed, at that," one of the others added, nodding as if in approval.
"Gods-blessed or not, there's nary a chance a wee lass like her took down a walker," another said. Kathy met his eyes, then just shrugged. She didn't really care whether or not they believed it. She wasn't here to impress people, she had a job to do. "Shite," the man continued. "Nobody's e'er taken down a walker, s'far as I ken."
"Oh, were ye there with us, Nevin?" Kells asked. He leaned forward, the very picture of studiousness. "Were ye beside us as we ran? Were ye hootin' an' hollerin' alongside me as I distracted th'thing long enough fer Kath t'work up her magic? Do tell yer own tale, so as th'others can split th'difference atween yours an' mine an' decide where t'put the truth o'it."
Nevin looked away, a sheepish look. "S'that nobody's ever survived one, is all," he muttered.
"Well, we did," Kells said. "Tis a first time for e'er event, they say, an' this were it, I'd wager. And what's more, Miss Kath here killed the durned thing all by her lonesome. Not a finger did I lift, on me word."
"How?" Fluffs asked, his eyes wide.
Kells closed the bag, took a seat at the table and looked around. "Well then, take yer seats, an' won't someone have th'barkeep bring round a cup t'keep me whistle wet?"
The man who'd expressed doubt in Kathy headed off to the bar while the rest gathered chairs. He returned a moment later with the proprietor and his daughter in tow, all bearing trays full of wooden cups and wooden pitchers that sloshed with something foamy and hoppy-smelling.
Kathy took a seat a bit apart from the others, kicking her feet up and claiming a cup and a pitcher for herself. The beer -if that's what it was- was dark and bitter, with a thick head. She pounded one cup, enjoying the bitterness, then began to sip a second as Kells began.
"So there we was, boys. At least a fathom deep in th'ruins, cutting chits from the ole vaults when we heard th'roar o' a walker. I were right terrified, mind. Clutching me weapons, ready to beat feet all th'way back t'town at the first roar, but Miss Kath here weren't bothered none. 'It ain't nowhere near us,' she tole me, an' jes kept cuttin'.
"Oh, she were cuttin' with a tiny lil blaze o'white-hot light comin' out 'er finger, too. Ne'er seen naught like it in all me days. Some new magic..."

Gary Johnson, Not-So-Grumpy Old Dude, Though Still With a Gun (it's tucked into his waistband)
Bare Bones Grill & Brewery, Ellicot City, MD
"How's the beer?" Chris asked, sipping at his own. Gary reached across the table to wipe a bit of head off his upper lip, making him grin and plant a kiss on Gary's thumb. Gary grinned back and tapped his nose with a finger.
"Yer cute," he said.
"Damn straight," Chris replied. "How's the beer?"
"Pretty good," Gary admitted. "Glad this place started brewing again."
"Again?" Chris asked.
Gary nodded. "They used to. Way back when. Damn good American lager, not like this Belgian stuff, though this is durned fine, as well."
Chris nodded and took a bite of his burger. Gary looked down at his own plate, but there were only a smattering of french fries left. Unlike Chris, who had spent half of his time over several decades feasting, Gary had never quite broken the 'food is fuel' habits he'd developed in the military. He resolved for the millionth time to try to eat slower, especially when he was out on a date night with his husband.
"So what do you think of all this talk about a god going rogue?" Chris asked after swallowing his bite. Gary almost choked on the fries he'd just put in his mouth. He caught himself, held up a finger and chewed for a second before swallowing.
"Where'd ya hear that?" he asked. Chris quirked an eyebrow at him.
"We have cable, you know. That includes all four major cable news channels."
Gary stared off into the distance for a moment. The Group had been keeping tight-lipped about the purpose of their plans, and Chris' knowledge of the threat had surprised him.
But it shouldn't have, he realized. Multiple people in The Group had figured it out. That meant that there wasn't a particular set of knowledge required, except, perhaps, for whatever knowledge was common to Group employees. Many people had left The Group; to retire, to pursue different careers, or even to hop ship to one of the smaller firms in the same field, enticed by a promise of more money.
Nor was there any particular knowledge that Group employees possessed that others didn't. At least nothing that would pertain to figuring this out. It made sense that journalists and analysts would have come to a similar conclusion and turned it into a news story.
"I ain't been payin' much attention t'the news. What're they saying?"
"Well, some of the newer churches have been claiming their gods have vanished, and the leading theory is that Jerry's gone off the deep end, and is killing them off."
Gary carefully kept his face from showing any reaction as his eyes scanned the crowd for any sign of anyone paying them a little extra attention. Nothing jumped out at him, but that didn't mean that they weren't being eavesdropped on. "Kinna wild theory, that," he said mildly.
Chris shrugged. "Maybe. Nobody's seen or heard from him since the zombie apocalypse."
"Yer forgettin' th'vampires," Gary said with a wink. Chris chuckled and raised a hand to acknowledge the point. He hoped his mild attempt at humor would help allay the suspicions of anyone who might be watching. As for Chris, well... Chris was his husband. His partner. The love of his life. A man who'd stood beside him in battle and at the altar. He wasn't keeping secrets from Chris, opsec be damned. Besides, he knew Chris knew how to keep his own mouth shut. Which begged the question of why they were having this conversation in public.
Gary sighed and leaned back, taking another long drink of his beer. "I don't rightly know," he said, letting his eyes drift up as if speculating. "The thought o' a god going on a rampage seems mighty frightening, but th'truth is, th'Army's got them guns Jerry made. They'll take one down, so long as we shoot the manifestation, an' not jes an avatar. An' if Jerry really is dead set on takin' down the gods, I don't doubt he'll show up here iffen that happens, happy t'move this god to the top o' his list."
Chris finished off his hamburger, nodding at Gary's words. After he swallowed, he agreed. "That sounds about right to me. Like most big scary news stories, the truth won't be nearly as dramatic as the media's making it out to be."
Ahh, that was it. He was getting the rumors out. Letting anyone who was close enough to listen in find out that a high-ranking member of the Divine Crisis Management Group was not only unaware of any particular threat, but also didn't think it would be a big deal.
"Them zombies were only really a problem cuz o' the numbers," Gary went on. "An' the vampires was only a problem cuz o' the'zombies. That alternate Astoram was tougher'n the original, for sure, but still kind o' a pushover, in the grand scheme of things."
Chris continued to nod along.
"I'm just glad we've got you and the rest of the Group around to protect us," he said. Gary smiled, unable to help himself as Chris leaned forward, batting his eyelashes along with his words.
"Yer adorable," he said.
"I know," Chris replied. "So what do you say we blow this little popsicle stand?"
"And then what?" Gary asked, pulling out his wallet and peeling off enough cash to cover the meal and a nice tip.
"Then, we blow each other. After that, who knows? You may get lucky."
"Sounds like a plan," Gary said with a chuckle. He stood and took his husbands arm, and the two of them shared a long kiss before turning for the door. As they stepped away from the table, Gary got a better look at the table next to them, and noticed the press badge hanging out of the woman's purse.
He eyed the table's reflection in the window next to the door as he held the portal open for Chris, and noted how the woman surreptitiously held her phone under her arm and took a few photos of them. Just as he'd suspected, the relaxed confidence of a high-ranking DCM employee would soon be a subject of discussion in some newsroom. Whether it made it onto the news was yet to be seen, but a seed had been planted.
"Yanno, if I had t'pick th'part o' you I love the most, it'd be yer brain," Gary said as he stepped out and they clasped hands for the walk to the truck.
"You spotted the reporter, then?"
"Ayup," Gary said. "At the table next t'ours."
"Yeah. I clocked her as we got our food. She was eyeing you whenever you looked away. I figured she recognized you."
"Pretty sharp fer a septegenarian," Gary said with a wink. Chris still had, and always would have, the same youthful looks of a man in his early thirties. That had been his age when he died, and he would never look a day older, barring magical intervention. Gary himself didn't even look his own age. Most would peg him as being in his late fifties (and possibly younger, if he took his shirt off), though he had almost two decades more than that. Chris blew him a kiss in response and they walked together in silence.
"My brain may be your favorite part, but my ass is pretty nice too, you know," Chris said after a moment. He gave it a little wiggle to demonstrate. Gary eyed it for a moment.
"Ayup," he agreed.
He gave it a slap for good measure, making Chris squeal and laugh.

Sookie, Too Focused to be Sad
Canyon Point Shooting Sports Complex, Golden, CO
The buzzer sounded in her ear, loud even through the hearing protection -or 'earpro' as Linda called it- and Sookie immediately rushed forward, raising her rifle. Three rounds went into the first target, three more into the second, the bolt locking back on the final round. She dropped the spent magazine and let the gun swing down. Good thing she didn't have testicles, she thought as the heavy handguard slapped her right in the roast beef. Without anything too sensitive in the way, the bump of hot metal against her junk actually felt kinda good.
She ignored the minor thrill and yanked the handgun out of the drop leg holster, raising it up the way she'd been practicing over the past weeks. To her delight, the red dot in the little window came right into view. She placed it on the third target and pulled the trigger three times.
The buzzer sounded again.
Sookie glanced down and holstered her handgun. She grabbed the handguard of her rifle and held it steady as she bent over to pick up the empty mag.
"Five point seven one!" Linda crowed. Sookie turned to see her wearing an enormous grin and couldn't help but grin back.
"How is that?" she asked. "Is that a good time?"
"Are you kidding me?" Linda laughed. "I've seen Green Berets do mid-sixes! Five point seven is amazing, Sookie!"
Sookie's smile grew more steady. The two women grinned at each other until the darkness began to encroach and Sookie looked away.
Linda wasn't done, though. Sookie felt her hand come down on her shoulder.
"You need to work a bit on your aim," Linda said. "You're quick as lightning, but those groups are sloppy."
"I was trying to do that 'two in the chest, one in the head' thing," Sookie said.
"Well you shouldn't. You're not ready for that yet. Besides, two in the chest, one in the groin is a better drill. They call it the Money Shot, back where I learned to shoot."
"Aside from the fun of shooting dicks off, why is it better?"
Linda walked around in front, then poked Sookie twice in the armor, her finger thunking against the alloy plate inside. Then she poked her again, right on the mons venus. Her finger sank into soft flesh and Sookie squealed and jerked back.
"Belly and groin is a bigger target than the head," Linda explained. "Not as resistant to smaller rounds, like a twenty two or seventeen."
"But won't a headshot kill more reliably?" Sookie asked.
"Yeah, but it's better to hit and do less damage than to miss," Linda said. "Besides, the goal isn't to kill, but to incapacitate. Getting gutshot will do that, especially if you just knocked the wind out of them."
Sookie nodded, listening. Linda knew what she was talking about. Their first day here, she'd given Sookie a demonstration. That demonstration had happened while the shooting bays were busy, and it resulted in most of the other shooters staring in shock at her prowess, with a smaller group scowling and making excuses for why a slight woman was obviously such a better shooter than they. Linda had already been approached by a number of the less insecure guys, and asked if she'd be willing to give them some instructions, as well.
"So, ready to do it again?" Linda asked. Sookie nodded.
"We'll get you down to five seconds flat," Linda said as she threw an arm around Sookie's shoulder and gave her a squeeze, walking back to the starting point. She left Sookie there to rearrange the targets and mark out the existing bullet holes in them. Sookie spent the time wisely, loading six more rounds into her magazine, then getting it loaded and the weapon charged. When Linda returned, she quirked an eyebrow at Sookie's questioning look.
"What's your best time on this drill?" Sookie asked.
"Four point nine three," Linda answered. Sookie balked, but Linda just grinned.
"Are you, like, particularly talented at these kinds of drills?" Sookie asked. Linda threw her head back and laughed.
"Girl, I ran this drill with Director Johnson, back when I first signed on. I did a five point three-something, if I remember correctly. Felt pretty good about myself. A little cocky even. Then he ran it."
Linda's face smoothed over and she gave Sookie a level look. "Two point nine four."
Sookie's jaw dropped. "How is that even possible?"
Linda shrugged. "Decades of experience in a body that has the reflexes of a twenty-year-old who just snorted a small mountain of cocaine. That's the only answer I got, really. That man is terrifying in a fight."
"Gary's told me before that he thinks Jerry might be better," Sookie mused. Linda shrugged again. "I've seen Director Williams fight. I couldn't say. Both of them are nightmares. I think if I had to place a bet, I'd bet on Johnson, though, unless there was magic involved. Williams is definitely the better wizard."
"Gary's a really sweet guy," Sookie mused. "And his husband, Chris, is one of the hottest guys I've ever met. And I've met a lot of guys. And he's supposed to be as good as Gary, from what I hear."
"Woe be the homophobe who pisses those two off," Linda said, then pulled the timer off her belt.
"You ready?"
Sookie nodded. "Five seconds," she muttered, hunching her shoulders a bit and getting her rifle into a low ready. The buzzer sounded and she pushed forward.

Emily Windham, War Wizard
The Divine Crisis Management Group Regional Headquarters, Denver, CO
Emily collapsed onto the couch as soon as she walked into the ready room. She was still in her full battle rattle, but she didn't care. She'd take it off in a bit.
Carmichael took the end of the couch that she wasn't occupying and heaved a big sigh. His face was marked with dozens of tiny, angry red welts. The result of an overload in a breaker panel he'd been working on, Emily recalled.
"You gonna get those burns checked out?" she asked.
"Nah," he said. "They don't hurt too much. I'll run down to medical after I've had a chance to catch my breath, get a shower and get changed."
Emily nodded, understanding. She was exhausted. Three hours of fighting against a holdover cell of vampires and a couple hundred zombies would have been bad enough, even if the vamps hadn't had a wizard of their own. It had been a pretty close fight there, for a bit.
But they'd pulled through. And only two vamps and all the zombies got killed. There were a few injuries, including one man who'd had to be medevacked, but everyone would survive.
"Name's Jim, by the way," Carmichael said, offering her a hand. Emily took it and gave it a single pump before dropping her arm back to the couch. Even that much effort was a lot.
"Emily," she said.
"You did great out there, Emily," Jim replied. Emily smiled.
"Thanks. I had no idea what I was doing."
Jim chuckled. "Nobody does, really. We all just make it up as we go. You did good, anyways." His phone dinged before she could respond, so she simply closed her eyes and leaned her head back.
Jim read in silence, then began tapping the screen. A few minutes later, he gave her a nudge.
"You got plans this weekend, Emily?" he asked.
"Uhhhh..." she said, trying to recall if she had plans. Nothing came to mind.
"Just vegging out on the couch and watching anime," she finally admitted with a shrug. Jim chuckled.
"Wanna go shooting?" he asked. Emily opened her eyes and looked over at him. She smiled, perhaps a bit more sadly than she intended.
"I would love to, but I should warn you that I'm not ready to start dating anyone. I've got a lot to deal with in my life right now, and I'm not in-" She cut herself off as Jim began to chuckle.
"You'd need a nicer beard before I took you out on a date," he said. Emily blinked, then realized what he meant and laughed.
"Sorry!" she said. "I've been asked out a couple of times, and I just assumed..."
"No need to apologize," Jim said. "You're a hottie, I bet you get hit on all the time. You're just not my type, er... At least for... You know... Romantic interests. But I'd love to take you shooting. My other friend, Linda, she's head of Sookie Ohma's personal security detail. She brought Sookie out to Golden to train her on SUT, and she asked if I wanted to join them tomorrow. I asked if it was okay if I brought our new war wizard, and she agreed. So... Do you want to go shooting?"
Emily smiled. "I'd love to," she said.
"Bet," Jim said, nodding to himself. "Wanna meet here at eight, tomorrow morning?"
"Sounds good."
"I'll drive us out there. I know the way. Or you can follow if you're worried I'm lying about being gay."
Emily chuckled. "I dunno. Maybe you are."
"I'm not. I love the cock," Jim said. "Could play with one all day. Matter of fact, when I was a teenager, I sometimes did."
Emily laughed. "Okay."
"Seriously, you got any hot guy friends?" Jim asked, painting a comically hopeful expression on his face.
"Sorry," Emily said. "I don't really have any friends." As soon as she said it, she could taste her own foot in her mouth. Her smile evaporated and she looked down, embarrassed to have dampened the the mood so abruptly.
"That sounds like a challenge to me," Jim said. "Bet you have at least two or three new ones by Sunday."
Emily laughed in surprise at his words, the maudlin spell broken. "Really?" she asked.
"Fuckin' Bet," Jim said. He held out a fist, and after a quick awkward moment, she bumped it with her own.

I was talking to a friend yesterday and he was asking about the marriage process here in Vietnam, saying I should post a run-down on one of the FB groups as a way of giving some up-to-date information. I tend to avoid them like the plague, though (too many bitter old men), so figured I’d post it here as reference for anyone who might be thinking of doing the same. Note, I’m a British national so some things might be different for people from other countries. Also, my wife is from Dak Lak, so YMMV depending on how efficient/corrupt the government officials are in other provinces. Anyway, this will probably be a long one, so here goes.
First, you’re going to need your affidavit of Marital Status from the embassy. I live in HCM so that was at the British Consulate in D1. Fairly painless process, really, but they don’t offer many appointment slots. I had to wait ten days for the first available slot. Download the form from the gov.uk website, fill it out and take it with you along with your passport and anything else they list. They never mentioned needing any information from my wife, but thankfully she came along anyway as they also wanted to see her ID. Swear on the bible, read from the placard they hold up and pay your £50. They’ll give you the signed and sealed affidavit back along with a map to a Vietnamese government building a short distance away to get it translated and stamped. We went there, they took the form and told us to come back in three days and pay 600k.
It gets a bit messy for this next part, so don’t make the same mistake we did in believing what some government officials tell you. We flew to my wife’s home town and she went to get her single status sorted at her local government office (she also needed my affidavit in order to do this). They told her the marriage process was easy, could be done in half a day, and once we had some passport-sized photos done we had everything we needed. On a previous visit before we got the ball rolling, they told her we didn’t need health certificates to get married there. That’s how easy it is. Sounds too good to be true? It was. She gets her papers and we head into town to the government building we were told to go to. They send us to a different building about ten minutes away. We get there, they go over our documents, then tell us we need health certificates and my passport translated. Good news, though, they agreed that the marriage process would be quick, so that was something. Off we go.
We head to the nearest city to the psychiatric hospital. A mental health hospital in the central highlands looks exactly as you’re probably picturing. Not a fun experience. We fill out form after form, give blood and urine samples, then they take us up to a room and do two separate tests which involved placing some headgear with metal diodes on us. Remember John Coffey at the end of The Green Mile? Yeah, not too dissimilar. Thankfully it was only hooked up to a computer. After that we were seated down and made to do an IQ test, which was just a multiple choice of patterns/shapes as the next logical step to the starting diagram. Once we finished that we had to wait for our blood work result, which never came to fruition. After about forty minutes the tech came out and said the machine was broken and signed us off anyway, so it was back downstairs to fill out more paperwork before being told to come back in a couple of hours because it was break time.
Upon returning we had more paperwork to fill out, blood pressure taken and height/weight recorded before being told to wait some more. I don’t like hospitals at the best of times, but it’s especially unnerving when the entire waiting room and staff are staring at you. If you’re sensitive about your weight, beware that there’s very little privacy (at least in that hospital). Just give them an estimate if you’re unsure, otherwise it’s on to the scales in front of the crowd while one doctor shouts the number across the room to the other. Eventually we were called back and taken to the top floor for the director, who kindly told me I look older than 37, to sign off the paperwork and have them stamped. Done and dusted, but took the better part of the day. Advice: if you’re in a big city like HCM/Hanoi, just get it done beforehand. Saves messing about. I don’t remember the total price, but I’m going to say around 1mil for the both of us. Also, we had to get the photo studio nearby to send over more photos because apparently the hospital forms required a size we didn’t have on us. Get multiple sizes if you can.
So now it’s time to get my passport translated. We get the main passport page photocopied and head to the city again to the Department of Justice. Short wait before being told that they need the ENTIRE passport photocopied. Every page. Why they need to see visa stamps from several years ago, to a completely different continent, I don’t know. My wife handled the rest of this so I don’t have much information. She got the photocopies done, took it back and had it translated by a man who apparently offered me a job. Anyway, all set and we head to the other town to the second government building we visited. They go over all the paperwork before sending us back to the first building ten minutes away. Remember when I said we were told by two officials that it would take half a day to finalise? Yeah, bullshit. When we got there we had to apply to get married, and the wait time was up to thirty days. The missus greased some palms and managed to get them down to fifteen days (they actually called us to come back after ten days).
Fast forward and we were back on a flight to her province, we pick up the paperwork and are sent to the other government building again after paying the fees. At this point I don’t even remember how much it was as it felt like I’d just been handing money over non-stop, between the 40+ km taxi rides from the town and the city, the government officials, the processing fees. I wanna say a mil and a half. Somewhere thereabouts. Anyway, we head to the other building expecting the goal posts to be moved once again as we were getting a bit disheartened with all the running about at that point. Fortunately the final part was quick and easy. We signed the paperwork, they stamped it and voila… legally married.
TL;DR:

• Needs to be done in your spouse’s home province.
• Single status papers for both of you (with the foreigner’s being translated).
• Multiple passport photos each.
• Medical certificates for both of you.
• Photocopy of foreigner’s entire passport, translated and stamped.

Sounds so much more simple when you break it down into five things, but expect to visit a number of government buildings, be told contradicting things and some flat-out lies. Also a lack of information about some of the documents you need (passport photocopy being an example).
TRC is thankfully a lot easier and your Vietnamese spouse can handle all of that themselves. Fill out and sign the forms, pay the $150 and give them your passport. They’ll keep hold of it for about 3-5 days while it’s being processed. Probably the most painless part of the whole thing.
Anyway, that was my (admittedly) long-winded experience of getting married in Vietnam. Also, if you happen to be doing it in Dak Lak, don’t make the mistake we did of doing it during the hottest month in recent memory. The whole ordeal might have been more manageable without the 38 degree weather, in non-air conditioned hospitals and government buildings. All this probably wouldn’t have fit in an FB post anyway...

This is my first time writing anything like this so I'm sorry if it's a bit messy, I'm just not sure what to do. Before I jump in I think some back story is needed. My mom and dad divorced when I was 9-10, I was very isolated during that period and I had a lot of big feelings I didn't quite understand. I'm 16 now and I still don't know the whole story of the divorce. My mom got a boyfriend immediately after she moved out of my dad's house, and as I learned later that her bf was one of tbe reasons for the divorce.
Now before I even met this boyfriend of hers, who I'll call Matt, I did not like him. Yes, part of it was just resentment because my mom moved on so fast, but it was something else. Even though I was young I knew he was trying to buy mine and my siblings love. It worked on my siblings but I held such a grudge on him, and of course my mom was not happy about it. Now to get to the actual problem, I'm not sure if he's creepy or if I'm just paranoid.
I've had some bad experiences with men and because of it l've been very uneasy around any men that I don't know, but even after like 4 years of living with Matt I can't get comfortable. I don't feel safe around him at all. In the years I've known him, Matt has made MANY comments about my body. To me, to my mom, to his friends to anyone he can talk to really. He'll say things like "god, look at that body." He talks about how it to his friends the most, and they all laugh along. So does my mom. It's always made me uncomfortable and I've told him that. And the way he looks at not just me, but other girls is sickening. He was looking at my 5 year old cousin the same way he looks at me, but nobody else seems to notice it. He's a raging alcoholic, so when he's drunk he's worse. He's loud, he gets super close to me, he creeps on my friends as well.
There have been a few times l've caught him taking pictures of me in a bikini. One time I was laying in the sun trying to tan and I caught him taking zoomed in pics of me. He proceeded to send them to me, and in the live part of the photo you could see him zooming in on my butt. My friends believe me, the adults in my life don't. My mom has had to come inside and convince him to go smoke with her to get him away from me and my friends, but she does nothing else. She does not care until I'm crying and begging her to get him away from me. I want to get out of that house. Adding on to all of that, I have severe m3d!cal issues that I NEED to be taken to the doctor for and they will not take me. Whenever Matt needs he's at the ER in 15 mins though. Idk what to do anymore and when he's not scaring me I'll convince myself I'm overreacting and that it's just my paranoia speaking. CPS did nothing when they were called, I just don't know anymore

Me and my ex girlfriend broke up over two weeks ago and I am blocked everywhere, but she still has photos of us together on her Facebook?
My ex hasn't deleted any Facebook posts or photos and we have had a very bad breakup. I didn't respect her boundaries and space because I wanted to fight for her and us.
It ended up in disaster and now I don't think I'll ever see or speak to her again for the rest of my life. I'm still coming to terms with that thought. I believed she was my one, and I wanted to marry her.
For context, she did remove photos of her ex before me and they were together for a number of years.
Why is this? Why are our photos still there when she has admitted and been open about talking to other men? She said that the day after she broke up with me that she was messaging guys she had previously blocked on Snapchat and downloaded tinder a few days later.
I don't understand what is going on. Why?

Thank you to the lovely u/sugarmagandjohn for this incredibly thoughtful gift <3
Written cards: 11
Blank cards: 14
This is loooooong overdue, as I got this package the 12th of January (which is good timing, as I'd been gone for Christmas) - anyhow... life threw a couple of curveballs my way, and I simply haven't had the time to properly sit down and write this. However; it's here now!! It only took me 4 months :,D heres an overview: https://imgur.com/a/xtnU5Yd
Now, the contents of the box was a bit jostled, so some of the stick-it notes were misplaced, and I found some loose ribbons and such - I will try my best to illustrated how beautiful this all was, so let's start :)
The mail arrived in a big brown box, which has gorgeously illustrated houses in white, with blue accents, and a bunch of intricate details on the houses themselves! It is also surrounded by snow, which fits the Christmas-y theme that will become apparent soon~
The address was written on a memo-note page, with illustrations at the bottom of Charlie Brown, Lucy van Pelt and Woodstock making snowmen! This too is covered in snowflakes~
The very first thing I saw, when I opened the box, happened to be an origami heart haha ~ it is yellow, with illustrated Christmas elements; such as a Christmas tree, ginger cookies, candy canes and santa on the front, you wrote "Merry Christmas JJ", along with hearts :D
The second thing I noticed, is that everything was covered in green silk paper, with illustrated peppermints (those white and red ones, that kinda swirl) on it - once I pulled that back, it revealed a row of fairy lights, shaped like stars, with a note on the switch! The note is shaped like a ribbon, but with a red Christmas star (flower) being the central piece, followed by a beige and green + gold striped swallow-tailed ribbon tails. You used a green pen to write the note, which asked me to turn on the lights before opening further. It reminded me of Christmas mornings, when all the lights are off, except for the string lights around the Christmas tree - truly magical :,D
And the fairy lights were bright!! It resides on my shelf right now: https://imgur.com/a/YLZGebG
And this is what the package + interior looked like: https://imgur.com/a/hB2IaPn
One of the things I didn't mention about the box, is that you wrote "warm wishes" on it, with a green pen - but you wrote it in norwegian! Which is super cute, but warm wishes is not a saying in Norway haha, so it is just directly translated (but seeing how influential English is to the Norwegian language, I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a saying here too :) )
One of the things I fished out was a fishing pole! The ones for cats :) it looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/MKsjU3N
And I gave it to my sister, since she's the one that has Leo, and I was cat-sitting back in February, and this is the aftermath: https://imgur.com/wjR3cAv
He really loved it haha - I tried playing a bit with him, but he was being lazy just then. However, fishing poles with feathers is his FAVOURITE toy, so that was a perfect choice :D thank you!!
Since I dont really know where to start, I'll begin with the cards~
Heres the written cards: https://imgur.com/a/4r3z8TH
As for the written cards, a few of them are placed in other places, so one of the letters I mention later in this post (i didn't write this in chronological order, I usually never do haha), but let's start with a really interesting card: it's wooden!
The wooden card was placed inside a Christmas bag with red handles and illustrated with christmas candies~ the card itself has a hole in the top corner, which has a string of hemp rope attached through it so it can be hung up! It has "Santa express" printed into it, and has a red wooden 3D stamp frame, where you drew a green pine tree in the middle :) along the outer edge, you drew a red and green striped pattern, which mimics the red and blue striped pattern used for mail! And you wrote a really sweet message on it with a blue pen <3 thank you love!!
The majority of the cards, however, were strapped together with a red and green ribbon ~ tied to them was a plastic candy cane, which is so cute!!
The first card was a postcard, with an autumnal illustration of a couple stading among orange leafed trees ~ the backside is covered in orange hearts, and you wrote a neat message with a pink pen! You also included a few red heart stickers <3
Continuing the autumnal vibe, the second postcard feature an illustration of an orange hued landscape, with a sunset, mountains, pine trees and a serene lake~ you wrote on it using a pink pen, and included a sticker of a cat wearing a pilgrim buckle hat, along with an orange circle-shaped sticker with "hello autumn" written on it. Along the bottom, you placed a thin blue washi tape, which was filled with small golden leaf illustrations :)
And as for the third postcard, it continued the orange theme, with a girl walking in a field of orange grass and poppies~ you used the same pink pen, and placed a matching washi tape strip along the bottom, but this one is broader! You also included a sticker of a dog and a cat, both dressed up in pilgrim attire and surrounded by pumpkins - and you added two more circle-shaped stickers in a sort of red/brown and tan, which featured illustrations of a pumpkin pie slice and a mug of some hot beverage :)
The next card was placed in a brown envelope - you wrote "Happy autumn JJ" on the front of the envelope with a red pen, and you sealed it using two stickers: a lavender and a yellow square sticker with "hello beautiful..." written on it :D
The card is a beige, double-sided card with an illustration of a person holding an orange umbrella, standing next to a golden retriever ~ there's brown text underneath the pair that reads: "I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...". The inside is decorated with autumnal stickers of: a pumpkin pie slice, 5 oak and maple leaves, an acorn, an orange flower, a mug of hot cocoa and a scarf~ you used a neon orange and wine coloured pen to write down some autumnal tunes :D thank you <3
In a true autumn fashion, you covered the next envelope in a bunch of autumn-based stickers and washi tape! Along the bottom, you placed an orange strip of washi with white illustrations of various leaves - this was accompanied by a deep blue, broad washi strip filled with illustrations of woodland animals, as well as flowers and logs :) you also added stickers of: pumpkins, a cluster of flowers, a bear holding balloons, more pumpkins, as well as two cats and two dogs dressed in pilgrim outfits! Theres also a sticker with the words: "you're the pumpkin to my pie" written in a shiny gold colour~
You also wrote "Happy thanksgiving JJ" along with a bunch of hearts in green, orange, yellow and red :D the colours are so fun!
And at last, you sealed the envelope shut using a plastic wax stamp with a clear design, with flowers and leaves in the middle~ the inside of the envelope is golden btw, which is so pretty!!
The card is a crisp white, double-sided, with branches filled with maple leaves (or some kind of acer tree) hanging above the words: "Though miles apart seperares us," in a shiny orange/bronze colour! The card has orange diamonds glued to it, and a bunch of the leaves are 3D, made out of orange plastic that is slightly see-through, so you can see the layers! The inside is filled with illustrations of the maple leaves, as well as stickers you included: a pressed yellow flower, a group of orange helenium flowers, and two butterflies in the polyommatus and lycaena families (weve got a lot of these at the cabin, here's some photos I've taken of them: https://imgur.com/a/XmkXxEP) - there's also pre-printed text in a deep red colour, which continues the sentence on the cover of the card, and it goes: "what is most important is always close in our hearts... family, friends and love. Happy thanksgiving" - you also wrote a very sweet message in a green pen underneath the text :D
The next card was placed in a white envelope, where you wrote: "even when skies are grey, you light up my day... :)" which is super cute <3 you also included a Christmas sticker featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and you sealed the envelope with a matching sticker!
The card features a very cool picture of a girl, standing with a dog, looking out on the ocean while they're being framed by the nature surrounding them - what makes this picture so cool, is that it was created using paper and real flowers and branches! It's like a multi media design, which makes it cooler cause it gives the effect that everything pops out of the image~ you wrote inside it using a blue pen, and it was accompanied by a gift you made for me - I talk more about this gift later on, but it was a bookmark youd made for me using the quilling method, and it is simply stunning!!!
Most of the cards you've gifted me were autumnal in tone, but you also included a very christmassy design! It was placed inside a red square envelope, which you decked out in stickers and washi ~ at the bottom, you placed a thin red washi with a tan criss-cross design. It was accompanied by a thick white washi strip filled with ornamental Christmas baubles! Above it was a sticker of a deer, along with 3 pop-up stickers of a christmas tree, santa and some balloons~ in the top right corner you placed a sticker of a wreath, which is next to a sticker of a snowflake, as well as a red banner with gold details and "a very merry christmas to you" written on it! With a green pen, you wrote "Happy Christmas JJ" :D
The backside was decorated with two Christmas tree stickers, along with shiny green letter stickers to spell out: "you are beautiful"~ and at last, you sealed it using a green wax stamp with a Christmas tree on it :) the inside of the envelope also reveals a deep green, with illustrations of candy canes and Christmas baubles scattered about!
The card itself is green, and features an illustration of a mouse, leaning up against a Christmas tree with a ladder, reaching up with a Christmas bauble to hang! It has gold details in the string lights, the packages, as well as the gold text that reads: "merry Christmas" ~ at the back of the card, there's a sticker sheet filled with candy canes and Christmas baubles!
The inside reveals a bigger picture of the cover art, and showcases a pop-up of a Christmas tree, with 3 mice decorating the tree! Theres gold text on the right that reads: "decorating the season with fun! Holiday stickers included!" ~ you accompanied the card with your own message :D it's such a cute card, and I love how content and happy the mice look as they're decorating the tree together :,)
And so, inside of a red envelope with a green flap, which has a white square on the front to allow for writing, along with illustrations of toys, presents and santa running along with a list, are some letters! You wrote on the envelope with a gold pen and sealed it using a white wax stamp sticker with hollies in the center~
There's two letter, both with a swanky shape, gold border, and an illustration of santa, with the sled, and a bunch of forest friends in a snowy landscape ~ thats accompanied by the text: "Christmas is coming!" In gold lettering! On the other side, there's a red and green border, with more illustrations of presents and santa scattered about ~ you wrote in these letters using a green pen - as for the move "Christmas as usual", I did watch it! I watched it when I was in Singapore visiting family, and I gotta say, it was passively aggressively racist oof.. but otherwise, a lot of it is true for how norwegian Christmases go, although I've not gone ice bathing, because I have no desire to spend more time out in the snow than I need to haha! I spent my Christmas in Singapore, with a mix of norwegian Christmas dishes (kålrabistappe and pinnekjøtt mainly) and fish for me, as well as some other dishes that... could be a Singaporean thing, or just random dishes. We also had rosenkål/brussel sprouts, and idk if that's a Norwegian thing or if everyone have it for Christmas, but we struggled finding it in the store haha! We also celebrated with caramel pudding and ginger cookies with non-stop on it (which is our brand of m&ms or smarties). We then opened presents, and my brother and I hid in his room :)
We also played mahjong and watched the second spiderverse movie lol
And now.... the blank cards!! The majority of the blank cards you gifted me were placed inside a red and clear coloured plastic bag, shut with a circle-shaped sticker with a Christmas tree on it, and you can see the cards here: https://imgur.com/a/w81sPZC
The first card is a white card, with an illustration of a unicorn on it, along with a rainbow and various hearts and shapes~ it's dotted with colours, which you can paint with water to fill in the blank spaces!! Thats such a cute concept :D
Also, speaking of cute, you gifted me a tiny Christmas card with a "naughty, nice, undecided" checklist box on it, where you can check the corresponding box for said person you send it to :) you also gave me a set of letters and envelopes, which are showcasing an illustration of bears riding a roller coaster in the nightsky!
And you gave me a small square card with a grey background, and black illustrations of planets and the stars with "the universe always has my back" written on it!
You also gave me a card of a cluster of pink gemstones, a postcard featuring a closeup of knitted snowmen, a postcard featuring a love quote, two destination postcards of the californian coast and Big Sur (the big sur one is also glittery!!) Also, random tangent, but "sur" means "mad/angry" in norwegian, so everytime I read big sur, I just keep thinking big mad lol. You also gave me a postcard featuring a field of flowers (mainly poppy and cowslip), a Christmas card featuring a painted llama with a Christmas hat and scarf, a card featuring Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, as well as one of elephants at twilight in Botswana~ and at last, a cream-coloured postcard with a colourful quote that goes: "when something goes wrong in your life, just yell "plot twist!" And move on.", words of wisdom haha!
As for stickers and ephemera, you gave me a TON, as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/l8U1fLh
Most of it was placed inside a plastic ziplock bag with the sanrio character "my melody" on it~ most of the other stickers etc were placed inside a blue pouch with gold snowflakes on it, and an illustration of santa next to a snowman :) it was shut with a sticker with red ribbons sticking out of it, and showcasing an illustration of a girl in the woods with a glowing deer!
I'll try to keep this brief, because there's a lot to go through here, but let it be known, I was blown away by everything and I love it all so much!!

And you also gave me three big cat stickers that I immediately put on the front cover of my sketchbook :)
Along with the stickers, you also gave me some ephemera paper items, such as: 3 Christmas patterned sheets of paper (white with illustrations of holly leaves and berries, a snowy town, and a small town from a birds perspective), as well as 5 smaller Christmas themed papers in various shapes and sizes, which I will be using to decorate future Christmas presents~
Aaaaand, you also gave me two Christmas quizzes!! One of them was trying to match a language to the words "merry christmas" in different languages - I managed to get all except for 3 correct, which is astonishing cause I'm terrible with languages :‐) the other quiz was giving vague hints where you'd guess which Christmas song it was referring to, and I don't know the names of enough Christmas songs to be any good at it lmao - but they were really fun, thank you!!
Inside the package, you also included heaps of snacks! The snacks can be seen here: https://imgur.com/a/FxnC92a
There were 3 small candy canes inside, which I love, they're such a nice Christmas treat and brings me back to one special Christmas when I celebrated with a friends family, and their tree was filled with candy canes, and they let me take as many as I wanted :D
You also gifted me a clear box filled with champagne gummy bears, which were adorable~ and inside of a Christmas themed plastic baggie, shut with a red circle-shaped sticker with green ribbons, and the words "Holiday cheer. Wishing you a very merry christmas" in gold, was a chocolate bar! It's a peppermint and marshmallows themed chocolate bar, which is such a fun combination - seriously, you find the strangest and most intriguing chocolate flavours!!
Inside white silk paper, shut with a green Christmas sticker, and left with two square Rilakkuma notes, where you wrote in a green pen "sorry it's so late" and that "you bought it for (me) on halloween" is a Halloween themed pocky stick box!! You know I love Halloween, and honestly, there's never a wrong time for Halloween themes stuff <3 thank you love :D
You also put another type of chocolate bar in a red and blank coloured plastic bag, which was shut using a bunch of cat stickers wearing santa hats ~ the chocolate bar is a gingerbread based chocolate from chocolonely, and the bar itself was shaped like a Christmas tree, so if you broke up the bar, you could even hang the tree up, thats so cool!!
And then you gifted me a a whole 'merci' brand chocolate box, which was filled with various flavours! It was packaged in a beige and gold silk paper, and tied shut with an elastic thin red rope~
Continuing on the christmas theme, you placed three hot chocolate bombs inside of a red plastic bag, shut with a red and white spotted ribbon :) and inside a green and red&white peppermint themed silk paper, shut with a red velvet ribbon, was a kinder chocolate calendar! I love a good chocolate calendar, cause I've got such a sweet tooth haha
Speaking of sweet tooth, you gave me two sugarfina chocolate bars, which were designed to look like Santa's attire, with the classic buckle belt - as well as Mrs. Clause, with an apron. It was cookie dough flavoured, as well as peppermint hot cocoa flavoured :D
Also, the cutest thing ever, you gave me a bear shaped pastery?? It's so cute!!! You placed it inside a red baggie, shut with a red circle-shaped sticker with "treat yo elf" written on it :,D
As for odd things I would never think of getting, or even finding in the first place, you gave me Hello Kitty themed edible wafer paper ~ they're shaped like hello kitty donuts, topped off with bows, and I really want to do a hello kitty inspired muffin party, using these :) i have no clue where to buy edible wafer paper around here, so this is really fun!
You put a bunch of fun treats inside a deep green baggie, filled with christmas-themed illustrations, which also features a small window to sneak peak, and shut with a blue circle-shaped sticker with candy canes and "sweet" written on it! Inside were two "seattle chocolate" chocolate bars that were white and dark truffle flavoured :o there was another chocolate bar of the same brand, but this was peanut butter flavoured! The designs of the chocolate bars were great fun too ~ you also gave me another chocolate bar, this one a plain milk chocolate :)
Along with these chocolate bars, you gave me: a hot chocolate bombs on a stick, an apple strawberry dried bar, a kinder joy, and a durian mochi! I really enjoy trying so many cool new flavours and textures, and I loved going through all the fun stuff you sent me <3 so thank you!!
And as for the last of the snacks, you've supplied my hot beverage supply <3 all of the tea and hot chocolate was placed inside a plastic zip bag, which had a soft blue colour, with snowflakes all around, and the characters from Winnie the Pooh dressed up for Christmas :) inside was a sticker of a cup of tea among a stack of books~ and ofc, a bunch of tea!! From "palais des thés", you gave me: green tea with jasmine, rooibos with vanilla and almond, oolong with flowers and lemon, herbal tea with mint leaves, and organic black tea from Assam and Yunnan :D along with these was a tea of vanilla rooibos, and a black Christmas tea~ from "four sigmatic" you gifted me an organic cacao mix with reishi mushroom, and at last, you gave me a packet of hot cocoa from Starbucks! Thank you so much for all this tasty joy!!
You also gifted me tons of cool items, and the selection feels personally curated for me, which is so sweet :,)
I'll start in no particular order, just based on what I picked up first :)
One of the gifts was a calendar! It is a soft yellow, featuring an illustration of kirroitori's muffin café~ the inside is illustrated and designed around the cartoon characters present on the cover, and it is super cute!!
In a similar vein, you gave me another calendar of the same sort, but featuring the rilakkuma characters having a tea party :D the inside is colourful, and the pages present the characters on the cover, chilling and having fun :) they look like this: https://imgur.com/a/aKZyux7
Speaking of calendars, you gifted me a wall calendar thats Californian cost themed! The pictures are gorgeous, and it's just such a pretty calendar :,) it looks like this!: https://imgur.com/a/QdLO5pM
Along with all of the wonderful gifts, you gave me two different types of candles!! I hecking love scented candles, and these come in such cute boxes :,D
The first one i picked up was placed inside a Christmas themes plastic bag, tied shut with brown hemp rope :) it's a cedar balsam scented candle in a silver tin can, and it's so cute!!
Here it is!: https://imgur.com/a/a91wdP3
The other candle is inside a bronze coloured tin box with a flip lid, a rectangle shape with the cutest library design! It is a Jane Austen themed candle (or as it says on the back, a tin austen) and it's jasmine scented :) it's hand-poured and I love it so much <3
It was packaged inside red, white and green plaid coloured silk paper, and tied together with a red ribbon that's sort if bulbous? With various bubbles, which reminds me of those seaweeds you can pop! This is what it looks like!: https://imgur.com/a/rUA2nEv
Next up are some more authowriters based gifts!! They were packaged inside a soft yellow coloured silk paper, with gold details of geometrical circles and stars ~ it's from a winery apparently haha :) it was tied together with a thin red fabric ribbon! Inside were two items - a "PopNotes" sticky note dispenser, which comes out of a blue typewriter, as well as a pocket mirror with a flip lid! The mirror is blue, and features a quote by Oscar Wilde ("To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.") And a plant watering itself~ the packaging the mirror came in features a quote from his collection of thoughts "only dull people are brilliant at breakfast", which i only know because i read it this year, and I read a Good Reads review where someone said that Oscar Wilde would be on twitter if he was born today, and honestly? Yeah lol. The quote on the box isn't visible on the photo, cause I think it was on the back? It was this: "you should either wear a work of art, or be a work of art" - anyway, here it is!: https://imgur.com/a/w0TnX1x
The next item was also a gift for Leo, my beautiful boy! It's a star-themed harness for cats ~ it's a silky deep blue with shiny gold stars and moons, which is just so cute :,) I mean, look at it!!: https://imgur.com/a/EjFchVC
It was placed inside a Christmas themed plastic bag (which also features a cat, how fitting!) - you placed a white sticky note inside, where you wrote a note about taking Leo for a stroll, with a baby blue pen :) the plastic bag was shut with a washi tape, which was plaid patterned, a red, green, cream and gold!
And now... for the ROCKS. You gifted me a beautiful amethyst, along with a note, letting me know it was an amethyst (let it be known, I found the note jumbled further into the box than the rock lol, but that's the natural jostle of mail for ya!). And along with the amethyst, which was wrapped up in lime green silk paper with white & red peppermints on it, were two slim agates! Theyve been coloured a hot pink and a deep purple, and in the center, a gold eagle and gold wolf has been painted :) they're super pretty <3 take a look!: https://imgur.com/a/GnvKbSI
And here's some super cute stuff you've gifted ~ they were all placed inside a sanrio inspired pouch, along with all the stickers and other fun stuff :) heres the items: https://imgur.com/a/c05lri3
Theres a magnet sheet, featuring the bears of Rilakkuma (and the chicken) - you also gave me two magnets of the line friends, the bear and rabbit carrying hearts <3
Theres a keychain of a san-x character, Sumikkogurashi, which has the big yellow cat, wearing a flower crown (or in this case, flower collar?) - it also features a tiny grass dude, with tiny little feet :,D
Theres also a pin of a tokidoki unicorn wearing witchy gear ~ it's so shiny and pretty! And they've solved a big pin problem, which is that they always shift and move due to the weirdly distributed weight, so they added two pins to the back :) and finally, a keychain of two sanrio characters! Two kids flying on a star, with a nice shiny purple chain~
Thank you!!
The next item is a very gorgeous tea towel :D it was placed inside a plastic pouch with a clear side, and a red side, with gold and white snowflakes scattered about :) it was shut with a blue hexagon sticker, with a gold border and green ribbons sticking out from the underside - in the middle is an illustrated deer! The tea towel was placed inside a cotton stringbag - the towel itself is so pretty!! It features a map of California, with various illustrations of certain "trademarks" of the various places in California, like the red woods and bears! It also features a small description of the state, and the state bird~ it's just so nice looking, with the soft colours and vintage feel, just look!!: https://imgur.com/a/2KROhfy
Next up is a little fella! You gifted me a penguin plushie wearing a red hunters hat (the ones with the flaps), a trapper hat! His name is Luke :) https://imgur.com/a/UhbUzur
He's currently chilling with all my other stuffed toys lol
In a true bookish fashion, you gave me a bunch of different bookmarks! Theres 4 in total, and they're all currently being used or being put on display ~ the first one I saw was the Winnie the Pooh one! It was inside a plastic covering, with a brown tassle and an illustration of Winnie and Piglet walking in the woods, along with a quote that goes "it's so much more friendly with two" <3 the second bookmark i picked up was also inside a plastic covering - it features an agate inspired rock (purple), with a purple rope going town into a tassle with gold details ~ it's super pretty!
The third bookmark had a red ribbon attached to it, and it was a red and yellow electric guitar inspired design! It's super cool :D
The final bookmark was hand-made by you, and it is beautiful!!! It's made using the quilling technique - you gave it a wood border, with a soft beige background, and with coiled up paper in mesmerising curls, you created a 3D flower with white, yellow and green paper! You also attached a silver sibbon at the top - it's too pretty to be used and im terrified of breaking it, so for now, it's on display on my shelf :) it's super thoughtful that you wanted to incorporate my favourite colour, it's genuinely perfect <3 here they are: https://imgur.com/a/4tFNgub
And now, the coolest Christmas bauble I've ever seen, look at this!!!: https://imgur.com/a/f0Yohip
It's a clear bauble, and inside it is sand, seashells and a yellow plastic bucket :,D on the outside, there's a print of an otter and "Monterev, CA" written on it ~ due to the oils of the sand, it causes the inside to have a sort of rainbow film, and it is just so cute and precious :,) this too is on display on my shelf, because my Christmas tree is one that reaches up to my knees, and was gifted to me by my friend because they thought my lack of Christmas decoration was sad haha! I'll likely not put it on the tree though, because I'm terrified it'll fall and break, so on the shelf it stays! All season, all holidays! Thank you :D
Now, this item brought me back to primary school haha - it's scented chapsticks! With scents such as: tropical punch, watermelon, vanilla, oatmeal cookie, cotton candy, mango, strawberry and kiwi ~ they're bright obnoxious colours and they're PERFECT. I've never been the kind to use chapsticks (although, I should), but these always hold a soft spot in my heart as a kid who loved scents and colours to the max <3 it's extremely nostalgic and a warm feeling swells in me when I look at the brightness and pure delightful childishness they exude, and the smells!!! I still love scents, it just brings me so much joy to smell stuff haha :,) here they aaaaare: https://imgur.com/a/serMDtb they were wrapped in a red plastic pouch, and shut with a circle-shaped sticker with an elf on it, and the words: treat yo elf"~
Going back to the more artsy stuff, cause you always supply me with the greatest art supplies, pens!!! All kinds of pens! And speaking of scents, you gifted me a scented pencil :D it's blueberry scented, and features a pen with a white and blue design, with snow and penguins and snowmen, super duper cute and a delight to my senses!! As for stuff that brings me back to my childhood, this funky pen you gifted me thats a baby blue, with a snowglobe at the top! It contains glitter snow with a silver angel in the middle ~ ah, when I was a kid, we'd get small gifts in our Christmas calendar, and I'd get these funky pens which did various stuff, like: i had one with a soft tennis ball on top, and I could pull a lever and the ball would bounce off (though it was attached to a string). I also got a pen with a mini glass hand boiler! Youd put your fingers on the bottom part of the glass, and the blue liquid inside would start going upwards (it had two bulbs, shaped kinda like an hourglass) and when it reached the top part, it'd start to boil :) i still have that pen, and it still works! So yeah, these pens are really tugging at my childhood nostalgia haha :D
Along with these, you gave me a calligraphy pen (ElegantWriter) which is super sleek ~ and you also gave me a 12 pack of pencils with gorgeous colourful floral patterns!! The colours are so nice and pleasing to the eye <3 I love a colour bomb :D all of these were placed inside a deep green plastic bag with candy canes and santa hats on it, tied with a velvet red ribbon, which is just adorable (I love all the various ribbons and bows you used!) Also, I really love all the pencils you've gifted me over the year - I've genuinely used up all of them cause they work excellently with drawing haha!
The pens don't end here, because BAM a six pack of jelly roll pens!! Theyre colourful and flow so well, what a treat!! I adore colourful stuff... it makes me unreasonably happy haha :) it was placed in a clear plastic bag, featuring santa and snowwwww ~ the bag was shut using a blue sticker shaped like a Christmas tree, which had "merry christmas" and "Happy Holidays" written on it in white, neat-o!
The final pens, because THERES MORE, were packaged in santa silk paper (theres more than just santa on it, there are christmas trees, but we both know who the real star is), and tied together with a shiny green and silver ribbon, seriously, where DO you find such beautiful ribbons?? You got such a range! Anyway... the pens inside were colourful fineliners from the sharpie brand, and they're smooth as butter, and all the gorgeous colours that make me very very happy <3
All of the pens and pencils can be seen hereeee: https://imgur.com/a/emToRGb
The artsy stuff doesn't end here though, because we've got memopads, sticky notes and colouring paper, and wow! We don't do Christmas presents much anymore in my family, and due to some family conflicts, I doubt we will celebrate together next year, so this feels like such a thoughtful and warm hug of a gift. I would like to articulate exactly why this makes me so emotional, but it's hard haha ~ it just feels like you out so much effort into getting stuff personalised for me, and I've never experienced that before :,)
Anyway, going off the rails there for a second.. theres 3 different sticky notes! One is mermaid themed, with mermaids inside a shell, each mermaid its own stick-it note, which i thought was creative!
The other two are themed after characters from "line friends" and "bt12" - both are designed similarly, with two different designs: the top one being shaped after a character, with a soft pink background and a slightly deeper pink lime-art. The bottom design is a soft rectangle with the characters in the bottom right corner - one is purple, the other is turquoise, and both are absolutely adorable!
Also, I spoke too soon, because there MORE sticky notes - these are more like stick-it tags that you use to mark books etc ~ they're pastel coloured, and will be perfect because I've wanted to annotate a book that a friend of mine likes, but I couldn't find any good tags!
Next up is a three-pack of notebooks + one blank book! They were inside silk paper with a plaid design in red, green and white ~ it was tied together with a red and silver ribbon which has a fun design, like... the edge is ridged, and it has silver circles in the middle! The books are white with black-lined illustrations with gold details. The designs are of: a peacock, greenery with beetles and bugs, and a jungle with macaw parrots! They've been made in a way that allows for the lines to be coloured in, which is such a fun idea :D
You also gifted me a memo pad with two super cute designs: both are simplistic, in very rustic and soft colours, one featuring a cat stretching, and the other being a chicken being scooped out of a piece of a cake - I've seen you use them before, and you've gifted me some before, and I love them so much, so thank you!! I love the colours, they scratch an itch in my brain :D
Along with this memo pad, you gave me a collection of decorative paper, which feature pastel-coloured lanterns, and which allows for you to write on them, like a cool decorative letter~
And at last, you gave me a massive watercolour pad!!! It was inside the same red and green plaid silk paper, with a gorgeous broad, red, silk ribbon - and it was accompanied by a letter! The letter was inside a deep green envelope, with a shiny red wax stamp, with "merry Christmas" stamped into it :D the other side of the envelope left a big white square, with gold details, where you wrote "Happy Christmas JJ" with a gold pen~ inside was a letter, which was shaped funkyyyy. I'm not even going to try to explain the shape it is, just take a look: https://imgur.com/a/P7saicc
Anyway, it features a Christmas tree made out of tiny illustrations in green and silver, of various Christmas-themed stuff, like deer, trees, ginger cookies and gifts! It also had a green and silver border ~ and you wrote in the letter with a red pen :D heres the actual notebooks, memo pads, stick-it notes and watercolouring paper: https://imgur.com/a/39mPXcQ
And now, for the drum rolls, because this is the cutest stuff ever - you MADE ME earrings, and they're dream catchers!!! I need to reiterate, you CREATED THESE by HAND for ME!!! I dont even know if the holes in my ears are still holes or not, but it doesn't matter, because I will treasure these to the end of time <3 I'm just all mushy about this sweet gesture - they're just so pretty and just... the care and thought put into them?? The effort?? I dont deserve anything you've given me, and yet you keep putting in so much time and effort and all this beautiful dedication that makes me feel like the most special person ever :,) aw man, the whole thing has made me very emotional. I remember when I received the package, I just immediately felt baffled, because I find it off how such a beautiful and wonderful person could pick out someone like me to bestow such beautiful handcrafted gifts, and everything is just so meticulously placed and chosen... ah, it makes me weak. And teary, it came at a very detrimental part of my life. I can only hope that I can give a little something in return to make up for all the wonders you've conferred me - you're just such a wonderful person, obviously not just because you've been so generous, but also because you just... are!! Everything about you is honey sweet, and you remind me of the smell of rain, during the mornings of summer when everything is soft and warm. You remind me of the wind swaying grass softly in a field, and the softness of snow falling gently from the clouds. I read a book recently called "the secret life of bees", and the soft feeling of the main character living in a pink house, helping along with the beehives, getting sticky from honey, wading in the river and having soft conversations when the sun is setting on the hot summer evenings were exactly the sort of feel I get about you. Soft, gentle, sweet, and yet someone who packs a punch, someone who has hidden secrets and surprises. I don't think I can really ever put it into words.
Anyway... I'm far past the limits of how long I can let a post go on for at this point, haha! Heres what the earrings looked like, just such a beaut: https://imgur.com/a/UbSC9UR

Hey ever since middle school I’ve always had a hobby of catfishing people and somehow I never got caught. I honestly don’t know why I do it most of the time it’s because I’m bored😭I’ve always been super successful while catfishing I’ve never gotten caught because I always choose someone that’s super active on social media but with little follower someone you can’t find their photos on google before I catfish as someone I always put their photos in google search first. You have to use someone no one knows someone with around 600-700 followers even 200. I’ve catfish as women and men..I do kinda get scared sometimes when I feel like I’m going to get caught but idk it’s not like a scared feeling it’s kinda of like an excitement feeling😭I’ve been catfishing this one girl for 3 years now and this other one for 7months now as both aren’t suspicious which is weird because I always make up fake stories and exaggerate them, after a while I got bored 🥱 so I began to like be super mean and they still stayed😭OH i forgot to mention I’ve been also catfishing this boy for 2 years too but we broke up and we’re just “friends”now he would always text my account and talks about how he misses me and stuff💀 although I wasn’t the real person I remembered when he was super suicidal and I helped him through that , that kinda made me wish he knew the real me but it was too late…but somehow I always avoid when they ask for my phone number I remember when the boy asked for my number I actually gave him a TextNownumber but if you have an iPhone you know that if you message from TextNow to an iPhone it’s going to come in as green so I thought I can’t do that anymore so now I just text them on instagram.idk maybe I just enjoy seeing how stupid people are😭I lowkey want to audition for the show on Netflix called “the circle” I think I would do so well I have years of catfishing since middle school and I’m in college now and I’ve never ever gotten caught 😭

The police are at my door and my flat is a mess. There are two empty tubes of Pringles on the floor next to the sofa, a collection of almost-empty teacups next to the sink, and the bin is full and probably smells, but I fear I’ve grown used to it. My fitted sheet is in a heap at the end of my bed, kicked away during a sweaty, agitated sleep the night Harry and I broke up, the mattress now tainted with dregs of poorly removed makeup.
Usually reserved for delivery drivers and charity door-knockers, the intercom by my front door now displays two officers wearing hats so wide they don’t fit on screen. There’s a big one and a small one, just the right amount of intimidating. With the state of the flat, they’ll probably assume I’m a squatter. A delinquent who eats Pringles for dinner and sleeps on a raw mattress in a £2,100 a month studio.
I don’t live like this. Not normally, anyway. Up until two weeks ago, the flat was thoroughly scrubbed and straightened in case I had to take a photo of myself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror or Harry came by unexpectedly. Without him around, the cleaning felt redundant. The visits from delivery drivers started drying up almost immediately, and it’s not like I had to worry about friends popping round to check on me. I didn’t mind the mess, but now the buzzer’s going for a second time and I’m reminded all the cleaning and tidying was never for me.
I pick up the phone. “Hello?” To my surprise, my voice is even. 
The big one leans in to the microphone, obscuring the small one with his giant peaked hat.“ Daphne Robinson?” he asks. 
“Yes,” I reply. “That’s me.”
“Miss Robinson, it’s the police. We’ve just got a few questions we’d like to ask you. Is it alright if we come up?”
“Can I see some identification, please?” A few weeks after I moved to London, the police knocked on the door of my share house in Streatham. Someone had been stabbed on my street in the middle of the night and they wanted to know if my flatmates or I had seen or heard anything. I’d found it all quite thrilling, a proper London experience. I invited the two men in for a cup of tea to talk about it. The stabbing was probably gang related, they told me, and the victim hadn’t died, so it was alright as far as stabbings go. They smiled and said a girl like me should be careful.
When I called my dad to share the news, he swiftly killed my excitement. “What on earth were you thinking, Daffy?” he asked without raising his voice. “Police officers can be bad people too, especially in London. You mustn’t ever be alone with them, and you must always ask for ID.” They didn’t know my name that time though. 
The man looks down before holding a card in a black leather wallet up to the camera. “Here you go.” I was expecting a gold badge, like in the movies. The words and picture are a blur in the screen, but I wouldn’t understand what they meant anyway.
“Thanks, I’ll buzz you in.”
The door downstairs cracks open and footsteps start up the two floors of concrete steps. As they draw closer, I’m flooded with that queasy, guilty feeling I get when I notice a police car behind me when I’m driving. Even though I’m sure I’ve done nothing wrong, I start to wonder if I ran a red light, or if my driver’s license has expired, or if someone is smuggling a large shipment of cocaine in the boot of my car.
Despite expecting it, the rap on the door makes me jump. I count out five seconds before opening it so they don’t know I’m standing right there. When I do, I see the man is young with a round, friendly face. The small one is a woman with an upturned nose and over-plucked eyebrows. She looks like the kind of woman that wouldn’t like me.
“Good morning, Miss Robinson,” the man says in what I can now hear is an East London accent. “I’m Constable Rahman, and this is Constable Barrett”. Neither of them are smiling. Barrett’s eyes move from me to the room behind me. Pringles. Cups. Bin. My palms start to sweat.
“Is this about Andrea from number 7?” I ask. Andrea lives on the floor above and she’s a sour bitch dressed up as a good person. She gets bundles of recycled toilet paper, organic fruit and sustainable clothing delivered, but she’s shouting at her husband every time I see them. 
“I’ve told her, I don’t know who’s taking her deliveries but it’s certainly not me. You’re welcome to come in and have a look”.
She’s been over three times to accuse me of taking her packages from Lucy & Yak. “If you see me walking around the building in a pair of size 16 dungarees, by all means, come and talk to me,” I told her the third time. “But until then, I’m going to need to ask you to stop coming round here.” She’s definitely the type to call the police over something so stupid.
“I’m afraid it’s not about that, Miss Robinson,” Barrett replies, eyes narrowing. “We’re here to speak to you about Sophie Radley.”

Taylor’s recent relationships are extremely messy. It seems that she only stays with a guy until she gets bored and then begins cheating with someone else, and ends up leaving for the other person only for that to blow up in her face. It’s such an immature way to go about your romantic relationships.
Did anyone notice that Taylor’s relationship with Travis started in an eerily similar way to her relationship with Joe Alwyn? The relationship with Joe started with a messy love triangle (detailed in Getaway Car) between Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, and Joe. Taylor left Calvin for Tom, which ended after only 2 months, and then immediately got with Joe. The same thing happened last year - Taylor left Joe for Matty, which crashed and burned in only a month, and then she got with Travis nearly a month later.
I remember back right before she broke up with Calvin, she started becoming unusually open about their relationship on Instagram. She posted about their one year anniversary and a necklace he bought her- all while she was spotted dancing with Tom Hiddleston at the Met Gala, which is also where she met Joe. Calvin and Taylor suddenly broke up just weeks after this and within days, Taylor was with Tom. If you follow the narrative given on Reputation, it seems she only used Tom to leave Calvin (Getaway Car), but then she had already met Joe and liked him more (Gorgeous)??? Why even involve Tom if she liked Joe? And the super obvious pap photos of her and Tom just days after they started dating was really weird. It’s like she used that whole situation to drum up controversy and a storyline, and then complained about the negative press. The same thing happened with Matty when she was suddenly seen out with him all the time after the breakup with Joe. Its clear that she wanted to be photographed. And now she’s more open than ever with Travis, yet complains about the lack of privacy.
All of Taylor’s lyrics painting herself as the eternal victim of bad men falls so flat when you realize that she is the problem in her relationships. She basically admits to lusting over Matty while still with Joe on TTPD only to leave Joe for Matty. And then she writes a whole album about how the whole thing blew up in her face, but it’s like she uses some of the more graphic lyrics (Guilty as Sin?) to rub the whole thing in Joe’s face. Literally the same situation as the relationship narrative on Reputation. I don’t think the girl has been single for more than a week in well over a decade. It all just seems so immature.
