Now anybody who's followed Sexiest Woman for 25 years over on Usenet knows how the whole elimination process goes; but for you newbies on Reddit, here it is:
Top 20 ladies from each category advance to Round 2, where the field is narrowed to ten apiece; when we resume in the fall with Round 3, the categories are merged and last year's third place finisher (which was Anna Kendrick) joins the remaining field; top 20 after that joins Alexandra Daddario (last year's runner-up and 2022 winner) in Round 4.
The remaining ten ladies -- plus one or two more from the Second Chance Round, which features ten eliminees from previous rounds -- will meet Shipka in the final round for the Sexiest Woman of 2024 title! But for the 25th anniversary this year...it won't end there!!!!
That's because this year's winner -- as well as the aforementioned Taylor Swift, who I named Sexiest Woman of the Decade in 2019 (but still has yet to win the annual title) -- plus all of our past winners (which will be listed in a separate post) will be competing for the very special title of Silver Anniversary Sexiest Woman!!!
But for right now...voting is now OPEN in Round 1; you get up to 20 votes per group so use them any way you can.
Oh, and the voting limits are as follows: Round 1: 20 times per group Round 2: 30 times per category Round 3: 40 times Round 4: 50 times Second Chance and special rounds: 10 times Final Round: As many times as you like!!!

2024.05.12 03:31 freifraufischer A (not so quick) and Dirty Guide for Four Year Fans of Rhythmic (who happen to be regular fans of Artistic Gymnastics)
 | (This is a lose adaptation of a very long thread I posted on the bird site. It's meant as a summary so there are things in here that are overly broad but I mostly want to help artistic fans know what is going on in Rhythmic with Paris on the horizon.) submitted by freifraufischer to Gymnastics [link] [comments] So you only watch Rhythmic Gymnastics every 4 years and OMG Paris is in a few months and you have no idea what your watching except dropping things is bad and wasn't this sport like super corrupt? Let's start with the basics. In the ye olden times all female gymnasts used to do exercises with portable and non portable apparatus. So a balance beam would be non portable and things like clubs, or balls would be portable. What we know of as artistic gymnasts competed in team portable apparatus. This video is from the 1952 Olympics and at the .10 mark you can see the Hungarian team which includes the great Ágnes Keleti (HUN) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtZ9t_9O-b0 One of my favorite facts about Auntie Ágnes is that not only is she the oldest living Olympic champion at 103, a holocaust survivor and number 3 on the all time women's Olympic medal list... she's also a reigning Olympic champion as her team was the last to win gold on Team PA before the event was discontinued. A lot of things were changing in gymnastics in the 1950s, women stopped doing Rings, the uneven bars started evolving from just being a set of pbars set to different heights, and they stopped doing exercises with portable apparatus. It was in this period that the sport that we now know of as Rhythmic Gymnastics split off and embraced ways to make themselves different from Artistic Gymnastics. What I want to emphasize here is that Rhythmic is just as "old school" as Artistic. It might be useful to point out here that in a lot of languages call MAG/WAG "Sport Gymnastics" (Russian) or "Apparatus Gymnastics" (many other European languages). In these contexts RG is often called "Artistic Gymnastics" because the sport emphasizes artistry so much more. The idea here is that this is a discipline that emphasizes more musicality, dance, formal ballet, and as a consequence they ban things like saltos. I'm mostly talking to people who are familiar with artistic gymnastics so think of this as "dance elements taken to 11". Broadly a RG wants to keep the apparatus moving at all times as they perform elements, to avoid dropping it but also to avoid holding onto it with an obvious death grip. The ball should for instance sit in the hand, not be squeezed to keep hold. Here is a basic guide to ball handling by a British RGI (Individual Rhythmic Gymnast) and just understanding that basic foundation of handling really goes a long way to explain just how difficult the sport is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3MSLaVO-MM&t=246s They throw the apparatus but your eye should stay on the gymnast not the flying apparatus as they do dance between the throw and the catch. If they catch the apparatus when they can't see it that's extra difficulty. Sometimes really terrible television camera crews will follow the apparatus in the air instead of the gymnast and this is very much worse than when they do face close ups on beam. All of the elements are what is happening UNDER the apparatus during the throw. One of the things I find incredible about rhythmic gymnasts is just how smart they need to be in order to do their sport. We're talking a special and physical awareness that is second to none because they need that catch to appear natural and effortless. A hand should meet the apparatus you shouldn't stick your arm up and wait for it to arrive. You should be in the right place to catch it without having to move unnaturally out of your choreography or you will get a trajectory deduction. As a good casual rule of thumb, if you are seeing them trying hard to do something, something is wrong. In fact, the ability of the gymnast to precisely control those throws means that when they do ribbon at the elite level they turn the air handling off in the arena so as not to influence the 6 meters of flying silk (that's almost 20 feet in freedom units). This adds a new level of awe when you realize that during ribbon qualification at last year's world's in Valencia, Spain it was 35 C (or 95 F). Please think about that later when I show you ribbon routines. And how toasty it will certainly be for athletes in Paris. The apparatus are Hoop, Ball, Clubs, Ribbon, and Rope. Wait... what? Rope?! Yes. So they used to rotate between the 5 apparatus but Rope has fallen out of favor largely because it's difficult to read on TV, though many purists think it's the most difficult apparatus. It's still competed among juniors and here is 2019 Junior Rope Apparatus World Champion Anastasia Simakova (RUS) (now GER) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-G47KnUCZY Another useful thing to know about the apparatus is that the clubs can be connected together or disconnected and this will frequently happen during the course of routines. My favorite weird fact about rhythmic is that if the clubs go out of bounds while connected it counts as one apparatus, but if you yeet the clubs out of bounds while they are separated it's two for double the penalty. No really... I will never not find this funny for some reason. https://preview.redd.it/205fhweiyvzc1.png?width=438&format=png&auto=webp&s=3c1693c4f044588989d107a5effa90dcd02a718f As a note, Ribbon always scores lower than the other apparatus, and you don't just risk dropping it but knots or even tangling yourself up in the ribbon in a kind of sparkly auto-bondage happen more frequently than you might think. RG scoring is fairly complicated but in brief: Difficulty, Execution, and Artistry scores which are combined together to create a total. Execution and Artistry are out of a 10.0. Think of Execution the same way you would in AG, somewhere in the 8s is good. You start to look for something fairly major wrong when you have an E in the low 7s, and anything below 7 for an Olympic contender was a car crash. Like .44 in this video where major Olympic contender Stiliana Nikolova (BUL) trips on the spare apparatus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbx4R4M3akk&t=44s Difficulty is open ended and is broken up into DA (difficulty of apparatus handling) and DB (body difficulty). If you want a better summary than I could ever give you (if a little outdated because of updates), here is the 2022-24 code in 15 minutes from Clematis on youtube. It was made for a RG point of view but I think if you are used to the WAG code you can probably follow along well enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxIlbaiPJWY Some gymnasts (like Nikolova and Darja Varfolomeev (GER)) build their routines on extremely high difficulty while others like Ekaterina Vedeneeva (SLO) and Daria Atamanov (ISR) concentrate on lower difficulty more securely done. Rhythmic Group Gymnastics (RGG) is performed with 5 gymnasts together doing complex interacting choreography and exchanges. The apparatus for RGG changes every few years but always one routine is done with 5 of the same apparatus, and another with a mix of 2. The Paris quad RGG is 5 Hoops, and 3 Ribbons/2 Balls. People who want chaos wish for 10 Clubs but that's not in the cards for the next quad either. If you aren't used to watching Rhythmic I promise you are probably better at spotting when things go wrong than you think. You may not know what it is, but "wait that's not right" comes quickly. Because the IOC hates fun, there are only two medal events at the Olympics, the All Around in RGI and the All Around in RGG. At world championships there is the All Around for both individuals and groups, but there are also apparatus finals. Because there are no apparatus medals at the Olympics we sometimes wont get to see the real masters of a given apparatus. Imagine if you never got to see Sanne Wever's beam because to get to the Olympics she had to be one of the top 24 All Arounders in the world. Which is really an important thing to point out. There are only 24 individual rhythmic gymnasts at the Olympics. That is a TINY fraction of the competitive field. Relative to international competition there will be many highly competitive RGIs left home compared to WAGs. I want to dwell on that point for a moment so I'm going to apply the RGI Olympic qualifying procedure to the Artistic field. Rhythmic worlds Olympic QFers were all non-nominative, meaning the place is awarded to the country not the gymnast by name. If WAG Olympic QF looked like RGI:
Back to the real world there are some heart breakers. There are 4 Bulgarians in the top 12 All Arounders this year. They have 2 spots in Paris. Other countries like Germany, Italy, and Ukraine will be leaving at least one great gymnast at home. I'm going to go through the likely Olympic field, as well as some that will not make the Olympics because they deserve their flowers too. These routines are, for the most part, the their top scoring routines from 2024, or if I thought a 2023 Worlds routine is a better representative I've used that. For the top 5 All Arounders this year I'm showing you a routine on each apparatus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLPt-3rifnA&t=119s By the way, she's 18, just very short which isn't that common for a rhythmic gymnast. Her father was a professional football player and played in the 1986 FIFA World Cup for Bulgaria... continuing my theme of elite gymnasts with international footballer fathers. 😊 Sofia Raffaeli (ITA)
😊 Daria Atamanov (ISR)
Atamanov was on a roll in 2022 as the European Champion (which means a LOT in RG), 2 gold medals at the World Games... and then she broke her leg in warmups at 2022 Worlds. She came back to win bronze in the AA at 2023 Worlds. 😊 Darja Varfolomeev (GER)
😊 Boryana Kaleyn (BUL)
If I was a betting woman I'd say the Olympic medals are going to come from that first 5 gymnasts I introduced. There are others of course but these 5 gymnasts own all the World and European AA medals from this quad. 😊 Takhmina Ikromova (UZB) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chS5Y-8c8do Ikromova owns the 11th highest All Around score of the year so far... her problem is those 5 big names hold the top 10 between them. Still she's the best rhythmic gymnast in Asia and came in 5th at worlds last year. On a good day she could medal in Paris but she may need help. And the Bulgarians are inclined towards helping others medal way too often for the sanity of their fans. 😑 Elvira Krasnobaeva (BUL) Clubs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lw7_y3Rh50 Remember how limited the Olympic field is? Well this is the 7th best RGI by AA score this year. She almost certainly wont be in Paris because Kaleyn and Nikolova are just better bets. 😁 Elzhana Taniyeva (KAZ) - Asian Champs Quota Clubs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb9gZGdUkZY 😊 Ekaterina Vedeneeva (SLO) Ribbon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NByCW_nEUws Bronze medalist with ribbon at 2022 and 2023 Worlds is the beloved veteran finally able to shine later in her career. Think about how WAG fans feel about Georgia Godwin or Ellie Black and mix that with the elegance of an Eythora Thorsdottir. She originally competed for Russia but switched to Slovenia in 2018, in contrast to someone I will mention later Irina Viner did not oppose her transfer. A key difference was that Viner never saw Vedeneeva as a threat to take medals from Russian gymnasts. 😑 Eva Brezalieva (BUL) Hoop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mTbBZS2TzQ Remember how I said 4 of the top 12 All Arounders this year were Bulgarian? Meet number 4. Unfortunately for her they only have 2 spots in Paris. 😊 Alba Bautista (ESP) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyTRgKgyK6c 😊 Viktoriia Onopriienko (UKR) Clubs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4icRp-FX5Y Bronze with clubs at 2023 Worlds, this is one of my favorite routines of last year. It also shows what the power of a giant crowd that actually has rhythm clapping unlike some depressing artistic gymnastics crowds. But you may know her from this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOCHFWODAGY 😊 Margarita Kolosov (GER) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCwB_3ESnPQ Remember how I said Germany will have a hard choice, after Varfolomeev they have two very talented gymnasts plagued with inconsistency. Kolosov is likely the one who will win out here (which some may feel is right as she earned the second German spot at worlds however the other athlete wasn't permitted to compete at 2023 Worlds....). I think of Kolosov for her incredibly aggressive towel throwing at the start of her walk out. Every time. 😑 Anastasia Simakova (GER) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OotziO4k34w Kolosov can't breath easy because running neck and neck with her is her club mate Anastasia Simakova but if inconsistency marks both of them it does Simakova more. She had been a Jr. World Champion for Russia and came to Germany (where her parents had immigrated) in 2022. Simakova's family are from the ethnic German minority in Russia and she told Irina Viner that she was going to Germany to get (a very real) back injury treated. And never came back. The Disney Villain of Gymnastics was displeased and held up her country transfer for a year. A stress point is that she didn't immigrate to a country where it would be easier to make the Olympics. She moved to the one her parents had already immigrated to. Viner has allowed Russian gymnasts to leave and compete for small unthreatening countries in the past, but generally those have been "B" team gymnasts. Simakova had far too much success and Germany (and her coach Yulia Raskina) were far to outside of Viner's control to allow it. 😊 Fanni Pigniczki (HUN) Hoop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsKKiL3kA1Y The most successful Hungarian rhythmic gymnast ever, she won bronze with the hoop at 2023 Worlds. The Spanish crowd gave her a nickname after the motion one makes while making potato croqueta. 😊 Zohra Aghamirova (AZE) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVP7dSfv44k 😊 Helene Karbanov (FRA) Ribbon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwD31PfYp-0 The French were very proud of the fact that they qualified both a group and an individual in their own right and didn't need a host spot. Karbanov doesn't quite have the difficulty to contend for medals but her artistry is lovely and enjoyable. 😊 Bárbara Domingos (BRA) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD_oAqQINLQ Domingos is pretty decisively the best RG in the Americas right now and I expect insanity when Rhythmic Worlds is held in Brazil next year. One of the things I love about this routine is you can clearly see how they can't grip the ball so the handling has to be precise. 😊 Milena Baldassarri (ITA) Hoop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6beHGGdPq7M Baldassarri finished 6th in Tokyo and is probably the second Italian but she has a younger potential rival for that spot that is chasing at her heals. 😑 Tara Dragas (ITA) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cto6j-UgN6k I actually think the fight between the Italians for the second spot should be tighter than the German race but I just can't let go of the sense that it will go to Baldassarri. Dragas is young though and surely a name for the LA quad. 😊 Polina Berezina (ESP)
😊 Annaliese Dragan (ROU) Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A5zc1Ts_gM 😁 Wang Zilu (CHN) - Reallocated Host Quota
😁 Aliaa Saleh (EGY) - African Championships Quota Ball - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r40wQHtYQBA 😁 Evita Griskenas (USA) - Pan American Games Quota Ribbon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--ergCL_3Ow She is the 2019 Pan American Games AA champion and 2023 Pan American Games silver medalist. She will be the only American rhythmic representation in Paris as the US did not qualify a group. 😔 Alina Harnasko (AIN) Ribbon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YWf8A6Xem0 Harnasko is the Tokyo bronze medalist and without question I think the best non Bulgarian FIG authorized RGI who wont be in Paris. She can not qualify as her only path to the Olympics would have been the European Championships and European Gymnastics has maintained their ban. That said, I don't think even if Harnasko had been in Paris she would have medaled. Having watched her over the course of the season (as well as other Belarussians), it's fairly clear to me that the Belarussians haven't maintained the difficulty curve to stay competitive. That covers the top individuals, there will be another European (not from a previously qualified country) and an Australian in the field. Group isn't my thing and I'm not keeping a running tally of the leading scores for groups so this will be a bit more vibes Israel (2023 World Champions) 3 Ribbons/2 Balls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hVWyjhZzzU I think at the moment Israel is the most likely to medal in group (if not gold). But Group can go south very quickly as seen with the same group doing the same routine at the Palaio Faliro World Cup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zl0WAhN3CE Bulgaria (2022 World Champions) 3 Ribbons/2 Balls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXYwZmzSLZo But I hear you saying, why do I think Israel has better odds than Bulgaria? They're stunning. And aren't they the Olympic champions? Well yes, A Buglarian group were the Olympic Champions, but this is a different Bulgarian group. They are much younger and the pressure on them is tremendous and cracks show quite frequently. Most tragically at 2023 Worlds. When your 5 Hoops routine is suddenly a 7 Hoops routine as you yeet the apparatus out of bounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVzWW0ulHFM Spain 5 Hoops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LxSPZAK_Vo China 5 Hoops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wd6wpMmFZo I desperately want the Chinese group to medal in Paris. They're my favs. I'm sorry I can't talk more coherently about groups than I can about individuals. Italy 5 Hoops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e05ezkvFHGg Ukraine 5 Hoops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bUW61a17xU Brazil 3 Ribbons 2 Balls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlE2tP6mVRw This is a very early season competition but it's my favorite mixed apparatus group routine this year and I think showcases how different styles can be integrated into rhythmic. I can't wait to see this routine in Paris. France 3 Ribbons 2 Balls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZu9ZkZNkyQ Yes, this is the second Moulin Rouge I've shown you. Welcome to the Paris Olympics! Mexico - Pan American Games Quota 5 Hoops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K36uEWicn8 Egypt - African Championships Quota 3 Ribbons 2 Balls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGXCmYIpyAI Uzbekistan - Asian Championships Quota 5 Hoops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGjMF3VIXjQ Germany - Either the European Quota OR the Reallocated Host Quota 5 Hoops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py7M0QKBZ3g There will another European country which will either be whoever wins the European quota or if Germany wins it then AZE I have been salty about the fact that Australia gets a free pass to the Olympics despite finishing 23 of 24 Groups at 2023 Worlds but apparently they have a new group this year who I'm assured is not that bad. Anyway so that's the Olympic field, for the most part, because I'm a structural nerd I'm going to hit on a few other points. Corruption The sport has a terrible and long history of corruption, including judges cheating on FIG exams (you can thank rhythmic for why FIG doesn't like holding online exams), bribery, favoritism, and straight up writing the code of points to favor a particular athlete. I will be honest and tell you that the corruption kept me from giving the sport a chance for a long time and I don't blame you if you find it a non starter as well. It's still a problem but I have hope. There is no getting around that Rhythmic is essentially an Eastern European sport and Russia has dominated for many years in part because of the immense amount of money they spend not just at home but in other federations. One might say that Irina Viner bought herself a sport. Not that it wasn't for sale before Viner. To give a sense of the amount of money involved let's talk about palaces to Rhythmic Gymnastics. Literal Palaces. This is the Irina Viner-Usmanova Gymnastics Palace in Moscow. This is the National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan, built in large part for the first lady/vice president of the country whose favorite sport is... you guest it. National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan Just the mention of Baku is enough to send some rhythmic fans into PTSD flashbacks for completely unjustifiable scoring (and terrible camera work and and and ...) . The fact that the arena was built for Rhythmic though, will explain to Artistic fans why the arena can't put both a beam and a set of parallel bars on it's floor space at the same time at the Baku World Cup. The sport also has a vicious history of coaching abuse and eating disorders that I wont defend and I don't think has really been addressed. But the elephant in the room of all of this corruption and abuse is Irina Viner, the president of the Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation. Irina Viner was married to Oligarch Alisher Usmanov, at one point Russia's richest man. He's currently the president of the European Fencing Federation which explains how they've massively botched handling Russian athletes. Her Wikipedia Article. They divorced for financial reasons after Usmanov was subject to many many many sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine. His mega yacht is stranded in Germany. Anyway, Irina Viner dresses like a Disney Villain and acts like one too. After she viciously attacked the judges at the Tokyo Olympics she was banned for 2 years starting from the day after Russia's international ban ends. https://preview.redd.it/0l3weeymcwzc1.jpg?width=866&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=960f12a402c0975dba57b994c64a50c826f91fe4 She has at different points told gymnasts that she'll kill them if they try to retire, and pulled Russian support from her own hand picked president of the Rhythmic Technical Committee because she didn't fall in line in Tokyo. The carrot to performing for Viner though is a promise of a marriage to an obscenely wealthy Russian man at the end of your career. Or you know... becoming the mother of Putin's children. Khorkina's face in this picture... https://preview.redd.it/2vv649gscwzc1.jpg?width=2200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5514a3ffe55d47e28834bb3156ed49941b56f7d1 So they're banned and they've dominated the sport for so long surely they're doing amazing things at their domestic competitions now. Well... for values of amazing. Viner has decided to create her own personal code of points which the Russians are now competing to. It emphasizes elements that in previous FIG CoPs caused massive numbers of injuries. Massive scores despite obvious errors and their gymnasts are breaking down physically. They've also brought up a non-apparatus routine setting called Free Hands which is normally competed by juniors... but hey if Irina likes it she's playing in her own sandbox now. Would the Russians be competitive if they were in Paris? Sure. Probably. But maybe not? It's hard to tell when they're playing in lala land and have routines composed for an entirely different code of points. No Russians have applied for FIG AIN status. But here is the best part.... Rhythmic Gymnastics is taking the time they have without the Russians and without Viner and they're fixing as much as they can as fast as they can. The age for juniors was raised last year (something Irina very much did not want) and the 2025-28 Code of Points takes a hatchet to a lot of the difficulty stacking (very broad over simplification) that has been written into previous codes to favor particular Russian gymnasts. They're basically unwinding what she did to the CoP either directly or through her influence. And right now Rhythmic is more competitive than it's ever been. A wide variety of countries are winning medals, and the RGI All Around in Paris looks to be the most unpredictable that it has ever been and much more unpredictable than the artistic all arounds. The biggest looming issue for Rhythmic though is the IOC's clear dislike of single gendered sports. With the introduction of men to artistic swimming it's hard to think that Rhythmic will stay in the Olympics for very long if they don't find some way to include men. There are two competing styles of men's rhythmic but neither has a mass of athletes. The first is Japanese Men's Rhythmic which includes things you normally would see in Artistic. Some argue that it's basically a different sport. Japanese Men's Rhythmic Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D48ZPoY2e2Y The second style is Spanish Men's Rhythmic which more closely echoes the women's discipline. Spanish Men's Rhythmic Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BckY1Glglrg Men's rhythmic faces a lot of resistance rooted in homophobia and I don't know how it's going to resolve. But the IOC is pretty much an unmovable object and they have been systematically forcing gendered integration on single gender sports. If you want to learn more here is a great video from a few years ago about the state of Men's Rhythmic and showing a lot of examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNhLauzoYOk I'll leave you off with one last routine. 😑 Taisiia Onofriichuk (UKR) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndz58tmfBVQ Onofriichuk will almost certainly not be in Paris but I feel like her exhausting ribbon is a good way to end this marathon of a thread. |
2024.05.11 21:52 IndustrySuch342 Her team did her wrong
Who signed off on lose you to love me? A song about a married man
Who signed off on it being a single?
Who signed off on a music video!
And you ask how is this relevant,well according to selenagomezecu2.0 posted recently a NEW lose you to love me shirt being sold at h&m
Besides that I also have issues with “rare” beauty seeing as that song is also about Justin But it’s kind of vague where I guess? It could have been about The Weeknd too
But I feel like creating a beauty company over your insecurity over men is not empowering
So then I go back to thinking if Selena had STAYED with The Weeknd would public opinion of her be better now?
Or maybe realistically since she said she never saw him seriously, if she had never gone BACK to Justin would her reputation be better now?
No one forced her to go back to Justin and release a bunch of songs RIGHT away about Justin This made her public image look HORRIBLE after he got engaged
Again it was her teams choice to release them
Also not releasing an album since rare but teasing one for years
What is that?
In my opinion her best public relation bounce back would be to release the album
Dump Benny
And have a dating show since she uh well I think it would help
Benny and Andrea were equally strange

2024.05.10 20:05 shaneka69 Numerology Of Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber Numerology Reading
Before becoming the wife of Justin Bieber, she went by the name of Hailey Rhode Baldwin. Firstly, her first name being her main name and being Hailey, let's see what that usually indicates on a general level.Being someone who holds the first name, Hailey means that you appear either quiet, mature, or shy amongst others. You likely have an impression that can strike others as strong, serious, mean, or relaxed, depending on other factors. The name Hailey holds no double numbers, so it is a good balance of energies, but there are still general lessons people with the name Hailey has. This name holds the energy of 8,1,9,3,5,and 7. The numbers we don't see is 2,4 and 6. This could be why people with the name Hailey may not seem easily approachable by many people, but certain people may be drawn to this energy and won't notice anything off balance. Hailey names give people naturally embedded strength and some form of power, even if it is subtle. They may not always have a simple love life because with 2, 4, and 6 missing, these women/females can struggle sometimes with commitment or close intimacy and could have been too independent or avoidant at one point when someone was trying to love them. The name Hailey makes someone complex because on one hand, they a serious regarding their disposition(8) because they want to appear structured and well received by the public (1) or it makes them feel good to be well put together. They are naturally independent which could sometimes come off as distant(9), but they just want to explore and learn continuously(3). These are not initially people who place importance of romance.
Even if she is into relationships, she would likely not trust easily because of her name ending with the energy of 7 from Y which equals 25 before it is reduced to seven. This can make her a little cautious or strategic with her approach to any type of connections in her life because she want to make sure she can trust these people before she fully opens up.
Now as we look into her being Hailey Rhode Baldwin, this give her a lot of 5 energy. She has a few repeating numbers in her full name which are 8 twice which is good because she isn't overbearing, bossy, or mean, but she has tenacity and ambition most likely. Her capability of dedicating herself could be very strong. She can be obsessive, but it won't be too intense with the 2 8's balancing each other out. In other cases, this could cause her to overthink sometimes or have trust issues.
1 twice as well which emphasizes her not being a bratty type of woman because 1 and 8 can give someone a mean complex if there is enough of it. 1 is about being bold and taking the initiative.
9 three times in Hailey Rhode Baldwin's name which gives her emphasized 9 energy which is about power, authority, popularity, maturity, and travel. One thing she will likely always make time for is travel and learning. Could be into cultural knowledge as well.
Skipping to the fact that she has four 5's in her name, this is the energy emphasized the most. This equals 20 and then 2 making her appear soft, calm, loving, or sensitive. She could be very emotional with this energy and most likely have to perfect her emotional well-being.
Being HAILEY RHODE BALDWIN gives her the Destiny #4, soul urge #9, and Personality #4
Destiny #4 is the same as Halle Bailey. Destiny 4 people are private, especially about things they value and things they see as important and dear to them. It's serious. These types of people are naturally capable of withstanding or handling responsibility. They are evolving into mastering a life that is in order. Don't force these types of people out of their shell if they are not ready. Once these Destiny 4 types feel safe around you, their personality expands and show clearer.
As a soul urge 9, Hailey Bieber is a natural at quick learning and experience. She may be someone who could see something once and would know the ins and outs after that first time learning or practicing. 9 is mastery and wisdom.
As a personality #4, this makes Hailey a cautious person. She will not do or say anything if she isn't feeling comfortable to do so. She takes calculated steps and won't do anything she considers risky or stupid. She has to warm up to environments before she allows herself to be part of the festivities. Likely not too big on parties as an importance.
April and May of 2024 were very romantic times for Hailey Bieber which makes sense that she is now pregnant with Justin Bieber's baby.

2024.05.10 02:07 Anonymous3349 I hope someone will take the time to read this and tell me what they think.(tw)
I just finished watching baby reindeer and it’s making me really think about my past and how a relationship I had affected me. I’m not sure how to think. I know what happened was bad but I just can’t find peace with my self. I find myself thinking about it even if it has nothing to do with what’s happening, or I think about it every time I am with my new partner.
About three years ago I was at a friends house(I’m just gonna call her Lee ) and she wanted to play a video game with this guy (I’m gonna call him dj)she was friends with. Long story short I ended up being the one playing the game with him and we ended up getting each others snaps. Eventually he asked me to come over his house to watch a sports game with all his friends. Immediately all of his friends were getting me to sit by him and all that. I’m not sure if it was that night I stayed the night at his house or if it was the next time I went over. My memories of what happened are all over the place and I sometimes can’t think of the order of when things happened. But either that night or the next time I went over I spent the night with him in the trailer that he had at his house and that’s when it all started. I remember him laying beside me with his arms around me, and how he slowly tried to put his hands down my pants. I grabbed his hand and put it back around my stomach. I can’t remember anything else from that night. Just that he did that I don’t know if he did it again or not or if I just fell asleep after that.
I can’t remember when we started dating officially but the next thing from my memories is when we were on his couch watching white chicks the movie laying the same way we did in the trailer. Once again he attempted to put his hand in my pants and I grabbed him and again and moved him. He tried again. This time I said no and grabbed him and moved him again. I can’t remember what happened for the next couple of days or weeks. All I remember next was having a breakdown in the kitchen of lee’s house. I can’t remember what I told her exactly or if I did tell her anything. But I do know that I texted one of me and dj’s mutual friends (I’m gonna call him drew)and I told him that I was uncomfortable and that I was really stressed and didn’t know what to do. He told me that he would talk to dj about it. Apparently drew told some more of djs friends about what I said and they all told him to stop.(that’s what they told me atleast.) Dj texted me and asked me about it and I was honest about it and told him that I wasn’t comfortable with the things he was doing. After all I was only 12 and he was two years older than me almost 3.
Not long after I remembered being in Djs basement in his room with some friends. He kept taking my phone and running out into the hallway. I would get my phone back from him and go back into the room with everyone else cause part of me knew what he was trying to do. Probably about the third time he did it I followed him out into the hallway and around the corner, this time though he grabbed me and pushed me against the wall and tried to kiss me. I got pissed off and pushed him away. I grabbed my phone and went back with everyone else.
What happened next is what made everything go to shit and what I think messed with my head. It was just like any other night I had my friend (who I’m gonna call Selena) with me because she liked djs sister (who I’m gonna call dolly) and we were all gonna have a sleepover. We were all on the couch and I was laying with dj and eventually I was half asleep and if anyone asked if I was awake I just ignored them. Someone had put a blanket over us and then everyone else had gone down in the basement except for me and dj. I think I fell asleep but woke up later on but he didn’t know that I was awake. I had my hand on his chest and he grabbed it and slowly pushed it down his stomach. I don’t know why I didn’t just stop him or why I didn’t say anything. I just froze. He struggled to put my hand down his pants without trying to wake me so if I moved at all he would also stop moving then would wait a second before making me put my hand further down.
After a while I moved my hand back up onto his stomach and pretended to wake up. I didn’t know what to do I just got up and went to Selena down in the basement I had told her particularly of what happened and told her check on me and dj in a couple of minutes. I think part of me wanted to have him caught in the act or I wanted to see if he did it on purpose so I thought it was a good idea to go back ups stairs with dj. I pretended to fall asleep again and was laying the same way I was before with the blanket over us. A couple of minutes goes by and he checks if I’m awake but I didn’t move or say anything. He grabs my hand again and does the same as before. I hear Selena and dolly coming up the stairs dj starts pretending that he’s asleep as well so Selena and dolly start making a bunch of noise to wake us up. They pulled the blankets off of us and see him grabbing my hand and forcing it down his pants. Selena starts freaking out at dj and even hits him he pretends to wake up and so do I. he lets go of my hand and I get up. I just stood there and watched him get yelled at by Selena. Everyone in the house was just staring at them at that point and there was even a video of her screaming at him.
I go to the bath room and just look at myself and wash my hands. i come back out and sit on the couch and we all just sit in silence. After hours, it was basically morning and I just got up and said I needed some air and and asked Selena to come with me some of our other friends came with us and dj stayed at the house. We walked around the block less then two times in silence before dj and his dad drove by us in his truck. We all got in didn’t say anything for the ride home. Everybody was going inside, but djs dad stopped me and asked what happened. I didn’t know what to say so I just said I don’t know. We all sat down, looking at a box of donuts That DJs dad had got us. He asked us questions and eventually just said not to say anything because him and dj had the same name and they would think it was him that did something. I remember him ranting to us about how when he was younger a girl had told everybody that he raped her and it ruined his life. Even though it wasn’t even close to the same situation that we were in.
Not long after that, my mom had came and picked me up. I didn’t say a word on the way home and I never told her what happened. I just went to my bed and slept for the day later that night. I had another breakdown but this time I didn’t text anyone I can’t remember if anybody said anything to me after what happened, but I remember going to djs house not long after again. I don’t know why I went even after what had happened. I knew it was bad, but I went anyway don’t remember anything happening I just remember watching movies and eventually going to sleep. I think the next day I texted Drew again. I told him everything that happened and he told me that enough was enough and that I had to tell someone and I needed to break up with dj. I told him I wasn’t gonna tell anybody because I didn’t wanna deal with it anymore and I just wanted to forget about it, but I said I was gonna break up with him that night and I did. We didn’t have a super long conversation.he asked me if it was about what happened and I can’t remember what I said to that.
Probably about a week later,I went back to my friend lee’s house after telling her me and dj broke up I can’t remember if I told her what happened, but without telling me, she invited DJ over. I tried to not make it awkward and just acted like nothing had happened and because I don’t think I realized how bad everything was, and because I was uncomfortable. Eventually, he left and walked home since he only lived down the street from Lee.
I remember always getting sent photos of Lee and my other friend in djs trailer with him. I just remember is how mad I was. I’m not sure how long after this happened but one of my other friends that I had told what happened to was also hanging out with DJ and a ton of other people and she had told DJ that I said he raped me when I never told her that so he was texting me flipping out and I told him that I had never said that and eventually blocked him. I didn’t even say anything to the girl I just left it alone because I didn’t wanna deal with it anymore. I only talked to DJ a couple of times after that and they were mostly on a group call app. I remember in one of the calls that djs sister called me a whore even though I had never done anything to her. I had people come up to me and asked me if what happened was true even to this day.
I try to avoid him now because so many people have told me how fucked up what happened is, and because I have realized how fucked up what happened is. But I feel like I could’ve done so much more to stop it. Part of me feels like that I let it happen. So now I just have an overwhelming feeling of guilt and shame. I don’t know if it’s because the last boyfriend I had also fucked me over but in a different way, but I just have this weird feeling in my current relationship. He is a Great guy and would never do anything to hurt me and showed me that multiple times but every time we do something sexual with each other, I have this weird feeling in my stomach that I am doing is wrong. And I feel bad if I tell him to stop, even though he has no problem with it at all. But every time I do something sexual with someone, I just think back to what happened, and that is the main point of why I am posting this. I just need to hear what some else thinks that I don’t know because it is to hard to explain in words what I am feeling and I am still struggling to find the words while typing this. I am over thinking everything. Was I dramatic about what happened and it wasn’t even that bad? I am the one that did something wrong? My head feels just fucked up.

About three years ago I was at a friends house(I’m just gonna call her Lee ) and she wanted to play a video game with this guy (I’m gonna call him dj)she was friends with. Long story short I ended up being the one playing the game with him and we ended up getting each others snaps. Eventually he asked me to come over his house to watch a sports game with all his friends. Immediately all of his friends were getting me to sit by him and all that. I’m not sure if it was that night I stayed the night at his house or if it was the next time I went over. My memories of what happened are all over the place and I sometimes can’t think of the order of when things happened. But either that night or the next time I went over I spent the night with him in the trailer that he had at his house and that’s when it all started. I remember him laying beside me with his arms around me, and how he slowly tried to put his hands down my pants. I grabbed his hand and put it back around my stomach. I can’t remember anything else from that night. Just that he did that I don’t know if he did it again or not or if I just fell asleep after that.
I can’t remember when we started dating officially but the next thing from my memories is when we were on his couch watching white chicks the movie laying the same way we did in the trailer. Once again he attempted to put his hand in my pants and I grabbed him and again and moved him. He tried again. This time I said no and grabbed him and moved him again. I can’t remember what happened for the next couple of days or weeks. All I remember next was having a breakdown in the kitchen of lee’s house. I can’t remember what I told her exactly or if I did tell her anything. But I do know that I texted one of me and dj’s mutual friends (I’m gonna call him drew)and I told him that I was uncomfortable and that I was really stressed and didn’t know what to do. He told me that he would talk to dj about it. Apparently drew told some more of djs friends about what I said and they all told him to stop.(that’s what they told me atleast.) Dj texted me and asked me about it and I was honest about it and told him that I wasn’t comfortable with the things he was doing. After all I was only 12 and he was two years older than me almost 3.
Not long after I remembered being in Djs basement in his room with some friends. He kept taking my phone and running out into the hallway. I would get my phone back from him and go back into the room with everyone else cause part of me knew what he was trying to do. Probably about the third time he did it I followed him out into the hallway and around the corner, this time though he grabbed me and pushed me against the wall and tried to kiss me. I got pissed off and pushed him away. I grabbed my phone and went back with everyone else.
What happened next is what made everything go to shit and what I think messed with my head. It was just like any other night I had my friend (who I’m gonna call Selena) with me because she liked djs sister (who I’m gonna call dolly) and we were all gonna have a sleepover. We were all on the couch and I was laying with dj and eventually I was half asleep and if anyone asked if I was awake I just ignored them. Someone had put a blanket over us and then everyone else had gone down in the basement except for me and dj. I think I fell asleep but woke up later on but he didn’t know that I was awake. I had my hand on his chest and he grabbed it and slowly pushed it down his stomach. I don’t know why I didn’t just stop him or why I didn’t say anything. I just froze. He struggled to put my hand down his pants without trying to wake me so if I moved at all he would also stop moving then would wait a second before making me put my hand further down.
After a while I moved my hand back up onto his stomach and pretended to wake up. I didn’t know what to do I just got up and went to Selena down in the basement I had told her particularly of what happened and told her check on me and dj in a couple of minutes. I think part of me wanted to have him caught in the act or I wanted to see if he did it on purpose so I thought it was a good idea to go back ups stairs with dj. I pretended to fall asleep again and was laying the same way I was before with the blanket over us. A couple of minutes goes by and he checks if I’m awake but I didn’t move or say anything. He grabs my hand again and does the same as before. I hear Selena and dolly coming up the stairs dj starts pretending that he’s asleep as well so Selena and dolly start making a bunch of noise to wake us up. They pulled the blankets off of us and see him grabbing my hand and forcing it down his pants. Selena starts freaking out at dj and even hits him he pretends to wake up and so do I. he lets go of my hand and I get up. I just stood there and watched him get yelled at by Selena. Everyone in the house was just staring at them at that point and there was even a video of her screaming at him.

2024.05.09 15:03 SkyGinge Semi-final 2: Why your favourite will make it (and why they might not)
Tonight is one of the strongest semi-finals of all time, with sixteen sensational acts taking to the stage to compete for the final slots in the final. But which ten will rave again on Saturday night, and which six will be gone before the party is over? Back by popular demand, here's my tongue-in-cheek look at everybody's chances tonight. As ever, please don't take anything here too seriously, and remember I'm writing this as a regular Eurovision fan lost in the excitement, confusion, hopium and copium of Eurovision euphoria, not as a mod.
Malta
submitted by SkyGinge to eurovision [link] [comments]
Malta
- Why they will make it:
- Colourful, energetic, an ideal opener
- Sarah is brilliant - she can dance, she can sing, having the time of her life!
- Impressive wow moments in the choreography which stand out even after every song has performed
- It's basically a better version of what Cyprus was going for on Tuesday. Cyprus qualified, why not Malta?
- Why they might not:
- Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it doesn't often work very well at Eurovision (i.e. Iceland 2016 after Sweden 2015). The comparisons with Slomo do not help her
- Malta is one of the countries most disadvantaged by televote only semifinals, with no reliable diaspora partners and most frequent supporters UK & Ireland not voting in this semi
- Facing stiff 'girlbop' competition from Austria, Georgia and arguably Greece
- Why they will make it:
- One of Albania's more contemporary songs in years
- Basically a perfect draw for optimum diaspora support, with Italy, Greece, ROW and Switzerland all guaranteed to award high points, and likely smaller points from many others
- Besa will only be able to give us more wholesome insights into the ESC 2024 artists groupchat if she's still around - she must be protected at all costs!
- Even if she fall, she gon' get up, standing tall proud with her head up
- Why they might not:
- Having great diaspora support didn't help Poland on Tuesday
- Far too many ideas going on both musically and on stage makes this quite a mess
- The dreaded curse of the #2 strikes again
- Why they will make it:
- Has captured the hearts and hopes of a nation, blending urban and folk sounds perfectly
- Standout colourful stage graphics and clever choreography, including a one-camera-shot gimmick
- TA TA TA TA TA TA
- Appeals to the small yet noteworthy 'butler' diaspora with impressive display of handkerchief choreography
- Why they might not:
- Queen Marina is currently ill with a fever according to Greek media, and may struggle to have the energy and vocals to carry this song
- Filming the majority of the performance from one camera-angle leads to moments where the performance feels flat and lacking in dynamism
- Domestic popularity does not always translate to international support
- Why they will make it:
- One of the most engaging and endearing performers of the year, with perfect vocals and immense live energy
- Staging taken from the Gjon's Tears playbook of 'stick our performer on random geometry', which somehow still works brilliantly
- Performance full of clever lighting and wow moments
- The prop brings back warm nostalgic memories of watching Beyblades as a kid for many viewers
- Why they might not:
- Staging taken from the Gjon's Tears playbook of 'stick our performer on random geometry', which fails to fully convey the story of the song and lacks the creativity of the music video
- A musical-theatre style genre-blend of opera, rap and drum & bass is far from the most digestible song, especially on first listen
- Big Bird's gay cousin is writing a petition to ban Nemo as we speak for unsolicited use of his feathers
- Agent Smith emerges from the Matrix to capture Nemo for breaking the code
- Why they will make it:
- Vocals were the main reason most people were writing this off, and Aiko has been significantly better in dress rehearsals so far
- Many stories of fans' casual friends and workplaces loving this song a lot more than fan polls have indicated
- The nipple bra is now gone, replaced with a more tasteful red one!
- Aikonation could be this year's Aijanation
- Why they might not:
- Whilst pretty, the staging concept of the dancers representing the five stages of grief is not at all explicit and doesn't aesthetically match the musical genre
- The revamped bridge is bizarre and doesn't really work
- Stiff competition with San Marino and Norway for rock-lover's votes
- Why they will make it:
- Clever lighting and funky lasers match the techno sound and give the staging its own unique atmosphere
- Very catchy chorus and polished choreography
- One of the most physically attractive artists of the year, which will surely result in at least a few votes
- Kaleen = Kalush + Loreen. Illuminati confirmed
- Why they might not:
- Shaky vocals throughout - Tuesday's qualifiers show that Europe is not feeling particularly forgiving towards weak vocals this year
- Whilst beloved in the fandom, could well be the 'fan-hype' of the year, with its dated sound not necessarily impressing casuals
- I'm still ram-di-dam-don't think they fully understand what a rave is (i.e. not a fun steamy time with a bunch of shirtless men in a garage)
- Why they will make it:
- One of the most meme-able titles and choruses of the year - SAND! SAAAND!
- Easily Denmark's most competitive song in years, and conventional pop will appeal to a broad audience
- Probably significant number of Danes in attendance will lift this live
- Why they might not:
- A disappointing lack of sand on stage and on visuals, on top of a generally static performance
- Being accessible, conventional pop can be a double-edged sword, making this easy to overlook in a strong line-up
- They've missed the opportunity to do a Dune tribute and have a giant sandworm eat Saba at the end of the performance, leaving 'bits and pieces lying everywhere'
- Why they will make it:
- One of the most charismatic performers of the year in Jaklin, who owns the camera and the stage
- Colourful, fun staging
- Sounds nothing like anything else this year, standing out well in the line-up
- Why they might not:
- The song is very repetitive and feels surprisingly flat in the arena as a result
- The band aren't able to play their instruments live which makes it a bit less impressive
- WHERE IS THE CHICKEN??
- Why they will make it:
- Dons always gives an eggcellent performance vocally
- Tuesday's qualifiers shows that Europe is down for voting for ballads this year, and there is very little ballad competition in this semi
- Latvia is one of the ultimate underdogs at the moment, and everybody loves an underdog
- Why they might not:
- The giant donut prop does nothing to add to visual storytelling, and Dons' emoting also isn't all that convincing
- The song is sadly too forgettable in such a strong semi
- Dons may take vengeance for months of egg jokes by bringing a pack of eggs on stage to throw at the audience
- Why they will make it:
- Some of the most creative, engaging and entertaining stage graphics of the entire year
- The full kitchen sink thrown at the staging, with costume changes, clever camerawork, pyro, and presumably the entire bank account of a rich Sammarinese businessman behind them
- Although San Marino lack voting allies, this year they have both Spain and Italy voting in the semi when Italy has historically given them some televotes in the semi and the band is Spanish
- We didn't suffer through the painful mess of Una Voce per San Marino for nothing
- Why they might not:
- Facing stiff competition from Norway and Czechia for rock-lovers
- It's San Marino, who always struggle in the televote unless they have a certain Turkish man to draw in diaspora and drunk support.
- Spanish rock representing San Marino may be a bit confusing for first-time viewers
- Why they will make it:
- Nutsa is probably the best vocalist of the entire semi, belting out the tune flawlessly whilst dancing
- Never underestimate the wide appeal of a woman singing an ethnic-tinged bop with a load of pyro on stage
- Everybody loves an underdog, and Georgia is one of the biggest Eurovision underdogs at the moment. Surely they break their streak this time?
- Why they might not:
- Facing stiff 'girlbop' competition from Austria, Malta and arguably Greece
- A great performance and a decent song hasn't always lead to a Georgian qualification (cries in Iru)
- The 'fire' that Nutsa is 'putting out' seems to be the sun (see the stage graphics), which is inadvisable and would exhaust all life on Earth
- Why they will make it:
- One of the most instant songs of the year, and one of the only ballad-like songs in the semi
- Has consistently ranked well in a variety of fan polls, demonstrating widespread appeal
- Some atmospheric and effective moments in the staging, especially early on and with the platform of mics
- Why they might not:
- Consistently wonky vocals, especially in the the falsetto choruses which are for many people the best part of the song
- Incredibly disappointing and underwhelming staging, especially given the music video seemed tailor-made to translate onto the stage
- The ending is repetitive and lacks power in a live setting
- Why they will make it:
- Quirky and pure fun in a way which should appeal to televoters
- Great late draw
- One of the most recognisable and imitable dance moves of the year, beloved by the audience who will lift this song
- Our community hasn't produced countless memes and fan-art pieces for nothing, right? Right?! UUUUUUUUUUUU YYYYYYYYYYYEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH intensifies
- Why they might not:
- Incredibly messy and unimaginative staging are drawbacks you can't afford in a semi this competitive
- Could well be the subreddit fan-hype of the year as Estonian folk/hip-hop mix is potentially a niche genre for a casual audience
- The police investigation concludes that in the end they (really) do know quite a lot about (those) drugs
- Why they will make it:
- Flawless vocals, one of the only ballads in the semi
- Great late draw
- Some effective staging moments, especially with atmospheric use of dry ice
- The boos and criticism will only encourage some voters to vote even more for them
- Why they might not:
- Maybe far more of Europe feels uncomfortable about Israel's participation at the moment than we all suspect
- Eden risks getting oxymated slightly in the dry ice
- Lack of audience support may influence voters at home
- Why they will make it:
- Purely a magical experience from start to finish (#unbiasedjournalism)
- Musically full of wow moments, especially the intense final chorus and Gunhild's impeccable vocals
- Effective use of dry ice and lasers to add to the moody atmosphere
- Everybody loves a good fairytale!
- Why they might not:
- Folk-rock could be too niche of a genre for a widespread casual audience, and the song is facing competition from other rock songs in the semi for votes
- The staging is a bit of a downgrade from MGP, lacking some of the intimacy and effective pre-recorded inserts
- Gunhild may accidentally pull a muscle doing her famous leaning back trick
- The lyrics may summon a werewolf who eats the stage, disqualifying the band
- Why they will make it:
- Creative and witty stage graphics and impeccable live energy from Joost
- Perfect draw position
- Incredibly effective ending which gives added poignancy to the performance
- Why they might not:
- When you promise innovative, never-before seen staging and bring a bloke in a blue bird costume, you are going to rub people up the wrong way
- Focussing entirely on the sad ending in all recaps may feel like using tragedy for cynical gain, instead of presenting the balance the song gives
- Brexit means Brexit - Eurosceptics may unite to overturn this EU propaganda!!

2024.05.07 02:52 kou3ai2lve1te1 New Exorcist’s Lore is Weird
 | Alright, let’s get into it. First wave of Exorcists lore dropped, and it’s pretty cool, but I really dislike one thing, and that’s the fact that Granger and Hayabusa are going after Qi. That is likely also who they are fighting in their cinematic. Let me explain why: submitted by kou3ai2lve1te1 to MobileLegendsGame [link] [comments] Old Lore Recap This video has most of the pre-existing exorcist lore, but a quick summary is just that in the world of Exorcists, think of it similar to the JJK universe. There are normal humans, Exorcists who can see and fight soul eaters, and then the soul eaters themselves who are like demons. The Exorcists Association is an organization that is made up of Exorcists who fight Soul Eaters. Yu Zhong and Kagura’s story both center around an Exorcist named Qi, who was Yu Zhong’s relative. Qi decided to betray and kill his entire family and join the side of the soul eaters for power, leaving Yu Zhong as the only survivor. Yu Zhong made it his mission to kill Qi. 2 years ago, Kagura’s clan was attacked by Qi because he wanted her umbrella, which was a powerful spiritual weapon. He killed everyone, and was about to attack Kagura when her older sister Tokoyo sacrificed her life by turning into a spirit, severely injuring Qi and driving him away. Afterwards, Yu Zhong found Kagura in the ruins of her clan and brought her to the Exorcist’s Association. She trained and asked Yu Zhong to become her mentor, and after proving her determination in a fight, the two of them became partners and formed a squad. New Lore Recap Hayabusa was a member of a ninja sect that served the Exorcists Association. On a mission, he fought a powerful demon known as the Serpent King, and they were about to kill each other when Hayabusa’s sword caused them to merge and Hayabusa became a vessel. Granger saved him and they became partners. Not a lot is known about Granger, but he is known for working with half-demon partners and killing them, which Hayabusa wants him to do if he ever loses control. He also carries a demon in his guitar case. At the present, they were ordered on a mission to hunt Qi by the Exorcists Association. So Why Qi? No, seriously, why Qi? Logically, it can be explained why Granger and Hayabusa were sent after Qi: Hayabusa gains enhanced powers from the Serpent King and is losing control so the Exorcists Association hopes to make use of him before Granger has to kill him. Qi is dangerous, so it’s a life and death mission which the duo is meant to handle. Logically, it makes sense. Story wise, though? Granger and Hayabusa have zero connection to Qi unless that changes with Granger’s lore. Their battle against Qi will only be relevant because Hayabusa knows he is going to finally have to be put down in the battle because Qi is so strong. That’s it. Yu Zhong and Kagura on the other hand? Their whole lives were ruined by Qi, their families killed. Yu Zhong is a middle aged man who spent his entire life hunting Qi down just to be too late to save Kagura’s family. Kagura watched her sister die in front of her to injure Qi and now carries her spirit around with her in the umbrella. Narratively, everything they’ve pre-established is leading directly up to Yu Zhong and Kagura teaming up to kill Qi once and for all. But instead, Hayabusa and Granger are going after him instead? I wouldn’t say the Exorcists Association is corrupt, it just doesn’t seem the most morally sound (Hayabusa is just seen as a tool to them due to being a vessel), and they likely wouldn’t ever send Kagura after Qi because she’s 16, nor Yu Zhong because he’s teamed up with her. But would Yu Zhong let that happen? Would Kagura let that happen? I don’t think so. Not only would it be unsatisfactory for Yu Zhong to not land the last hit, the two of them not being there at all feels incredibly empty. (Hayabusa’s new lore that confirms that the two of them are going after Qi) How will it play out? I understand why Moonton is reusing Qi. He was the “big bad guy” established in the first part of the Exorcists lore back in 2022. They don’t want to introduce another unfamiliar villain into the saga without explaining what happened to Qi. Now why doesn’t this work? Because nobody knows that Qi exists. Let’s be real, nobody’s reading the Exorcists lore. There’s no easy way to get to it after 2022 except through specific wiki pages and YouTube videos and 99% of people don’t care. At most, people are watching the animations. Except… Qi never gets mentioned in Yu Zhong and Kagura’s animations or in their voicelines. Let’s say Qi shows up in part 2 of Granger and Hayabusa’s cinematic. To everyone who’s watching it, it’s quite literally just another random villain showing up that they’ve never heard of. To the vast majority of the playerbase, it makes no difference whether or not Qi is a recurring villain or not. Instead of creating a new villain that could have personal relevance to Granger and Hayabusa’s backstories, you just have this generic bad guy that they have to fight. The only way this could work out is if Kagura and Yu Zhong show up in the second half of Granger and Hayabusa’s cinematic. But that 1) Doesn’t make sense narratively because none of them know each other, 2) Would take the focus away from Granger and Hayabusa, and 3) Moonton isn’t going to do that. (Hoping they prove me wrong though) Yu Zhong and Kagura’s backstories and character arcs are being sidelined so their main villain can be the bad guy in someone else’s story. I don’t know if I’m more sad about that or the fact that Granger and Hayabusa aren’t being given a better villain to fight against that actually makes sense for their stories. How I would change it? Easiest thing would just be to connect Granger’s lore to Qi in some way to make their characters relevant to each other. The hard part is how they would be able to do this without making it redundant. Yu Zhong and Kagura both are the solitary survivors of their family, they can’t make it happen a third time with Granger, and anything less gives him less of a reason to hate Qi. Plus, Granger already carries a demon around in his guitar case. He’s “working with demons” the same way Qi does in a way, just without the whole killing innocent people for power thing. Granger just isn’t the best character narratively to be connected to Qi in a negative way. What else? I’m not a good writer, I really only have an example for how I’d like something to play out, but I acknowledge that my writing is not good nor is it better than Moonton. This is just for fun. Now, I personally have a very stupid mess of different skins that I thought would fit into the Exorcists Universe which are here in the chart on the second slide that I made in January this year. Everything that’s not directly next to Granger and Hayabusa isn’t relevant. The main character I’m going to point out here is Selena (above Hayabusa). Briefly tweaking her to fit the new lore, a concept for her would be that she is a Soul Eater created by Qi’s hatred after he killed his family (Soul eaters are created by peoples hatred). Qi directed her to help him overtake the Exorcism clans and sent her in to infiltrate the Exorcists Association, where she posed as a member of Hayabusa’s clan. She was the one who sent him after the Serpent King knowing he wouldn’t be able to defeat him without dying himself, because Selena knew Hayabusa was the strongest of his clan and the only one she could not control with her powers. She basically mind controlled a large portion of the Exorcists Association in the city Hayabusa belonged to. (There are canonically 5 major cities) Of course, since Selena had managed to turn his own clan and city against Hayabusa, nobody believed him once he recovered from his fight with the Serpent King and realized Selena was a Soul Eater. That’s it, now we have a villain personally connects to Hayabusa (and Granger by association as they do care for each other to a degree) and gives them a reason to take the fight seriously, still connects to the previous lore by being connected to Qi, and isn’t literally Qi so Yu Zhong and Kagura’s arcs aren’t wiped out of existence. Yap session over Thanks to anyone who actually read this far lmao, I know it was just a blob of disorganized text and I appreciate anyone who stuck around. I’m really sorry if my tone comes off as overly passionate or aggressive or anything like that, I know it just turned into a big rant and it didn’t mean for it to at all 🙏 And I know it’s just skin lore. I’ll live although I shall shed a tear once a morning. Just a bit disappointed after being so hyped up for something I wanted to measure up to the 2022 lores. Still really like the new lore and the new skin designs! I really hope that once Granger’s lore drops, it’ll be very cool as well! |
2024.05.05 17:57 AFDPP [M4F] Looking for these canon characters (DC, Marvel and more)
Hey there! Thanks for checking out my post.
I've been really in the mood for some fandom RPs lately, especially from DC. I'm mainly looking to play a male character(s) myself, opposite canon characters that you'd play. It's nothing toooo specific beyond that, the main details of the plot really depend on the characters, but here's a few things to know, really.
I'm open to most kinda plots and pairings, and I'm open to really any themes. I'm open to pretty much everything! Even if you have ideas that you think are more out there, feel free to suggest them to me, I'd probably be down for them!
Like I said, I'm happy to play most anyone as long as you play a canon character I'm looking for. I can play canons myself, or crossover characters, or OCs; it all works for me.
Now, let's get to the main gist of it, really: who I'm looking for. I'm looking for canon women from different fandoms, though my favorite is DC. I have a few other canons I like such as Marvel or a few other ones here and there, but DC is definitely the main one. Below, I'll put the list of some of the canon women I'm looking to play opposite with. If you can play any of these characters, I'd absolutely love it.
Under each 'category' of character, I'll also include some details about some possible plot points or pairings we could try. These are only some suggestions, of course; I'm more than down to brainstorm other ideas, but think of these as sort of inspirations to help start out!
Hey there! I've been looking for someone to play canon women, mainly from comics verses, but a few other things as well!
ANYWAY, here's the main gist of the post. The main canons I'm looking for. If you can play any of these, I'd love it. Feel free to message me whenever!
———————
MARVEL: Elektra Natchios, Psylocke / Betsy Braddock, Jean Grey / Phoenix, Emma Frost, Rogue / Anna Marie, Kate Bishop / Hawkeye, Lorna Dane / Polaris, Susan Storm / Invisible Woman, Wanda Maximoff / Scarlett Witch, Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff, Carol Danvers (MCU), Sersi (MCU), Felicia Hardy / Black Cat, Gwen Stacy / Spider-Gwen,Mary Jane Watson, Hope van Dyne (MCU)
THE BOYS: Starlight / Annie January
BEN 10: Gwen Tennyson (specifically, the Alien Force version or older only!), Charmcaster, Ester
Possible ideas: As a general idea here, with heroines and villain types, it could always be fun to do a plot where they're defeated, if you're open to a darker sort of plot. Maybe they end up imprisoned after a heavy defeat to a villain or army, or they're stranded somewhere, like on an island or desert or unknown city. Something that takes them out of their usual setting, you know? In fact, for some of the higher status heroines, it could be fun to do plots where they're turned into sidekicks themselves, or transformed in some way that changes their status quo. Other than that, since most of these characters are well known in universe, I'd also love a plot where they meet a fan or someone who knows their work in universe, if that makes sense.
Going into the specific characters here, Cheshire is definitely my favorite. She's one of those ones that there's a lot of good options to pair her with; maybe one of the Titans, like a Nightwing or Wally West, or maybe someone like one of the Green Arrows could be good for a dynamic with her, especially since they're characters she has an interesting history with. With some of the more experienced heroines (like Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Donna Troy, etc.), I do think it'd be fun to have them in a sort of mentor type role, where perhaps they're helping out a younger hero type, be that one that exists within the DC Universe already (like a Tim Drake or Bart Allen for example), or a new original character. As for Talia al Ghul, perhaps after failing to persuade Batman for so long, it's time for her to look for a new type of bethrothed, so she sets out for a new target for the League of Assassins. Rose Wilson could be fun with the Arrows, be that Connor or Roy, since she has a comic history with them. But to be honest, the DC characters are super flexible, so as these are only suggestions, we can fully brainstorm something up, I don't mind at all.
———————
FINAL FANTASY 7: Tifa Lockhart, Aerith Gainsborough, Jessie Rasberry
RED DEAD REDEMPTION: Sadie Adler, Abigail Roberts, Mary-Beth Gaskill
STARDEW VALLEY: Abigail, Emily, Haley, Leah, Penny, Robin, Jodi, Sandy, Caroline
MISC: Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Ellie Williams (TLOU2)
Possible ideas: For the FF7 canons, I'm thinking some kind of new resident or visitor of the slums would make for an interesting dynamic to pair them off of. Someone who's new, possibly oblivious to Avalanche and their activities. He could slowly discover what the girls are up to, and either turn against them or works with them. Or perhaps, it takes a more casual turn, someone visiting the bar, needing a room or place to stay sort of vibe and meeting the likes of Tifa or Jessie. With the RDR girls, a new member of the gang under their tutelage or that befriends them could be interesting, perhaps leading towards a direction where they run off together, or kind of face the frontier together. Lara and Ellie can have similar plot scenarios I'd like to think, with one of them being in an apocalypse setting obviously. Getting captured or coming up against some kind of tribe or faction or some such, someone who's targeting them for one reason or another.
———————
GAME OF THRONES: Daenerys Targaryen, Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell, Melisandre
DISNEY: Teddy Duncan (Good Luck, Charlie), Alex Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place), Sharpay Evans or Gabriella Montez (High School Musical), Colette (Ratatouille)
MISC: Daphne Blake (Scooby-Doo), Carly Shay (iCarly), Azula or Suki (Avatar), Betty Cooper (Riverdale)
Possible ideas: With Rey and Leia, I really like the idea of plots taking place in their respective desert settings: Jakku or Tattooine. Something showing the sort of survival aspects of living in a harsh reality like this, how they have to fight for credits or food, living with all the foes around and the heat, that sort of thing. It could either go a darker route, or show kind of their daily life living in a setting like that, their social dynamics with whatever characters are around in those settings; The merchants, the bounty hunters, the traders, etc. You could do a similar thing with Daenerys too, if we wanna set her plot in Essos, though with the GOT girls, I think a sort of war / political plot would be fun, showing the aftermath of either their victory or defeat.
The other girls listed in this section I can be pretty flexible with. A slice of life type scenario would fit in with most of them, though a sort of mystery / detective type plot would be fun to set up with Daphne or Betty. If we do go the slice of life direction, maybe have it set when they're slightly older, showing how they're going through college or their early careers post their canons.
———————
Possible ideas: This is probably the most flexible selection here, there's a whole host of plots we can do. An encounter with a fan is the most obvious one I can think of, or them exploring a new type of concert or movie role. Perhaps they've taken on a photoshoot of some kind, but it's different because it's a peculiar type of shoot, or they're hired by someone with a bit of a complex reputation. Or something I think would be super fun, is if the celebrity is kind of made to do something publicly that they're not too fond of, either for a PR campaign or as part of marketing for a movie or album or something. Perhaps a PR relationship, or they're made to act or behave a certain way to change how the world perceives them. I could also see a plot where the celebrity is made to be a prize of some competition or event, like one where my character wins a date or something with the celebrity. I also think it'd be fun to maybe try something where the celebrity's PR is at an all time low or they're cancelled or something, and then proceeding to explore the aftermath of that. These are just a few ideas, tbh, let me know if any of them intrigue you. To be honest, with these ones, it's probably the one that needs the most brainstorming, tbh.
———————
But yeah, that's the gist of it. I'm mainly just looking for the characters above, so I'm pretty flexible on the plot or pairings; that's something we can discuss ourselves. I'm sure we can create an interesting and unique plot and dynamic between our characters, something we'd both enjoy!

I've been really in the mood for some fandom RPs lately, especially from DC. I'm mainly looking to play a male character(s) myself, opposite canon characters that you'd play. It's nothing toooo specific beyond that, the main details of the plot really depend on the characters, but here's a few things to know, really.
I'm open to most kinda plots and pairings, and I'm open to really any themes. I'm open to pretty much everything! Even if you have ideas that you think are more out there, feel free to suggest them to me, I'd probably be down for them!
Like I said, I'm happy to play most anyone as long as you play a canon character I'm looking for. I can play canons myself, or crossover characters, or OCs; it all works for me.
Now, let's get to the main gist of it, really: who I'm looking for. I'm looking for canon women from different fandoms, though my favorite is DC. I have a few other canons I like such as Marvel or a few other ones here and there, but DC is definitely the main one. Below, I'll put the list of some of the canon women I'm looking to play opposite with. If you can play any of these characters, I'd absolutely love it.
Under each 'category' of character, I'll also include some details about some possible plot points or pairings we could try. These are only some suggestions, of course; I'm more than down to brainstorm other ideas, but think of these as sort of inspirations to help start out!
Hey there! I've been looking for someone to play canon women, mainly from comics verses, but a few other things as well!
ANYWAY, here's the main gist of the post. The main canons I'm looking for. If you can play any of these, I'd love it. Feel free to message me whenever!
———————
SUPERHERO CANONSDC: Cheshire / Jade Nguyen, Artemis Crock (Young Justice), Yara Flor, Lois Lane, Donna Troy, Wonder Woman, Talia al Ghul, Black Canary / Dinah Lance, Zatanna, Ravager / Rose Wilson, Huntress / Helena Bertinelli, Jessica Cruz / Green Lantern, Poison Ivy, Star Sapphire / Carol Ferris, Punchline / Alexis Kaye, Iris West, Lian Harper / Cheshire Cat, Supergirl / Kara Zor-El, Spoiler / Stephanie Brown, Catwoman / Selina Kyle, Batgirl / Barbara Gordon, Mia Dearden, Dove / Dawn Granger (Titans TV), Starfire / Koriand'r, Lilith Clay, Hawkgirl / Kendra Saunders, Lady Shiva, Mera, some of the Arrowverse girls (Sara Lance, Laurel Lance, Thea Queen, Dinah Drake, Mia Smoak, Iris West)
MARVEL: Elektra Natchios, Psylocke / Betsy Braddock, Jean Grey / Phoenix, Emma Frost, Rogue / Anna Marie, Kate Bishop / Hawkeye, Lorna Dane / Polaris, Susan Storm / Invisible Woman, Wanda Maximoff / Scarlett Witch, Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff, Carol Danvers (MCU), Sersi (MCU), Felicia Hardy / Black Cat, Gwen Stacy / Spider-Gwen,Mary Jane Watson, Hope van Dyne (MCU)
THE BOYS: Starlight / Annie January
BEN 10: Gwen Tennyson (specifically, the Alien Force version or older only!), Charmcaster, Ester
Possible ideas: As a general idea here, with heroines and villain types, it could always be fun to do a plot where they're defeated, if you're open to a darker sort of plot. Maybe they end up imprisoned after a heavy defeat to a villain or army, or they're stranded somewhere, like on an island or desert or unknown city. Something that takes them out of their usual setting, you know? In fact, for some of the higher status heroines, it could be fun to do plots where they're turned into sidekicks themselves, or transformed in some way that changes their status quo. Other than that, since most of these characters are well known in universe, I'd also love a plot where they meet a fan or someone who knows their work in universe, if that makes sense.
Going into the specific characters here, Cheshire is definitely my favorite. She's one of those ones that there's a lot of good options to pair her with; maybe one of the Titans, like a Nightwing or Wally West, or maybe someone like one of the Green Arrows could be good for a dynamic with her, especially since they're characters she has an interesting history with. With some of the more experienced heroines (like Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Donna Troy, etc.), I do think it'd be fun to have them in a sort of mentor type role, where perhaps they're helping out a younger hero type, be that one that exists within the DC Universe already (like a Tim Drake or Bart Allen for example), or a new original character. As for Talia al Ghul, perhaps after failing to persuade Batman for so long, it's time for her to look for a new type of bethrothed, so she sets out for a new target for the League of Assassins. Rose Wilson could be fun with the Arrows, be that Connor or Roy, since she has a comic history with them. But to be honest, the DC characters are super flexible, so as these are only suggestions, we can fully brainstorm something up, I don't mind at all.
———————
VIDEO GAME CANONSOVERWATCH: Ashe or Kiriko
FINAL FANTASY 7: Tifa Lockhart, Aerith Gainsborough, Jessie Rasberry
RED DEAD REDEMPTION: Sadie Adler, Abigail Roberts, Mary-Beth Gaskill
STARDEW VALLEY: Abigail, Emily, Haley, Leah, Penny, Robin, Jodi, Sandy, Caroline
MISC: Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Ellie Williams (TLOU2)
Possible ideas: For the FF7 canons, I'm thinking some kind of new resident or visitor of the slums would make for an interesting dynamic to pair them off of. Someone who's new, possibly oblivious to Avalanche and their activities. He could slowly discover what the girls are up to, and either turn against them or works with them. Or perhaps, it takes a more casual turn, someone visiting the bar, needing a room or place to stay sort of vibe and meeting the likes of Tifa or Jessie. With the RDR girls, a new member of the gang under their tutelage or that befriends them could be interesting, perhaps leading towards a direction where they run off together, or kind of face the frontier together.

2024.05.05 16:48 airplanesarecool1616 Bam Universe Who's Who
In no particular order (and I'm too lazy to alphabatize) a list of characters associated with Bam Margera since ~2019.
Nikki/Nicole Boyd - Bam's ex wife and mother of his child, currently embattled in legal proceedings over custody and child support. Bam has called Nikki a "hotdog struttin' floozy" leading to this 🌭💃 in the sub.
David Glass - Nikki's lawyer in the custody/child support court case. Bam's sworn mortal enemy who he fully holds responsible for him not being able to see Phoenix (son of Bam and Nikki).
Danni/Danni Marie/Stretch Queen/SQ - Bam's current girlfriend/fiancee (depending on how generous he's feeling that day). She self describes in her IG bio as a "certified stretch queen" so the nickname Stretch Queen was born. Was suspected to have four toes based on an IG picture, but she cleared that up for everyone by counting her toes in an IG story. Holds a lot of the same beliefs as TSW (see next entry) and admits to meeting Bam because she was celebrity hunting at Hollywood parties. Was one of several women invited to staff a party where Bam was in attendance. Also admits to blocking and changing numbers in Bam's phone so he can no longer contact people she deems to be "bad" for him which is mostly family and old friends. You can listen to Danni saying way too much, here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bam-margera-turns-a-page/id1465273008?i=1000651293238
That Surprise Witness/TSW/Shitness/BJ Courville - You Tuber who graduated law school (but gave up her license to practice law) who believes Bam's family had nefarious intentions by placing him in rehab. Believes Bam should be free to do whatever he wants, even if that means drinking himself to death. Also "interviewed" Bam while he was out of his mind and validated some of his most unhealthy beliefs. Bam would go on to attack Jess (his brother) after this interview. Claims to be besties with Danni.
Lima Jevremovic/Lima/Lie-ma - Bam's former medical guardian who took responsibility for getting him placed in rehabs after he was court ordered to treatment. Had a VR technology she was developing to assist with addiction treatment. The guardianship had no financial aspect despite insinuations from TSW that it did. The guardianship ended in 2021/2022 and Lima has had no contact with Bam since. Bam claims Lima gave him tea that caused seizures, a claim that he didn't bring up until 2023, and he seems to still believe (despite no contact for years) that Lima is out there trying to get him "5150"ed. Sued That Surprise Witness for defamation, among other things. Lawsuit is currently pending.
The Shaman/Navid the Shaman - Runs a life coach type business where people can pay to participate in a "magic toad venom" ceremony. Bam appeared to do the Shaman's intensive program, staying with him for about a month. Bam said the Shaman didn't allow drinking (although a White Claw could be seen in a video Bam posted with the Shaman) and Bam would sneak away when the Shaman was doing his weekly ceremony to get loaded. It's unclear how much Bam paid for the privilege of working with the Shaman but Bam bought him several pieces of equipment for his business, like an ice bath. The Shaman also taught Bam "ooga booga." Whenever anyone says "ooga booga" Bam sits perfectly still, not talking until someone says "un ooga booga."
Vinny Beedle/Scumbag Vinny/Vinny - Bam'sformer booking agent (apparently Vinny was just a random who weaseled his way into Bam's circle) who wanted to take Bam on a stand up comedy tour. Vinny simped for Bam for about a year, being Bam's punching bag and trying to prop a very unruly Bam up in random venues. Allegedly Vinny came out of pocket a significant amount to fund his "tour" and lost money when Bam ultimately cancelled because he couldn't be bothered to follow a schedule. Bam would show up late to the shows and demand to go on. The fued over money lead to Bam cutting Vinny off. Vinny later admitting to buying a Cameo in the hopes Bam would talk to him. Bam ignored it. Bam still holds a grudge against Vinny, insisting that Vinny scammed him, took his money, and went to Disney World. An example of something Vinny put together can be seen here, at a failed party where none of the equipment worked and Vinny tried to entertain the small crowd with his stand up: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=IGjVDLvtbRh6afRk&v=Cn7HJ3XSaOM&feature=youtu.be
Jack/Jack Tillery - Bam's current (?) manager. Known to be a giant asshole and also suspected of being Bam's drug dealer. Here's Jack cowering in a corner while Bam screams at him: https://www.tmz.com/2019/03/07/bam-margera-fights-manager-comedy-show-cancelled-new-york/
Jessica/Methica - Bam's most recent ex-girlfriend, known for wearing zip up hoodies with no bra. She has a daughter, Ysabel who is about 8. Jessica and her daughter travelled around with Bam and eventually Bam started to call Ysabel HIS daughter. When they broke up, Bam forgot all about his daughter. Ysabel was school aged yet did not seem to be in school.
Mia Walmart - A foot model who Bam briefly dated before meeting Danni.
Princess Purple Rain - Absolute bit part character but responsible for the greatest “laughing “at”, not “with” Bam video ever. She’s the equivalent of a rookie coming off the bench in a game 7 of the NBA finals, dropping 5 3s consecutively, blocking Lebron on the game winning drive and then never being heard from again. For the uninitiated, here’s the greatest thing you’ll see today: https://youtube.com/shorts/kiuOj05ju8o?feature=shared
Mike Quinn - Bam and Danni's current booking agent, possibly manager. According to Danni, Mike was arranging for a Lionsgate biopic to be made about Bam's life. No, this is not the same Mike Quinn that manages the Tik Tok'er.
Cult Shotta - Australian rappers who Bam met up with in LA shortly after his break up with Jessica. Bam hung out with them for several weeks, ultimately releasing the song "Feel Like Bam"....I'm not even going to link it, but suffice to say not only is it terrible, it's an earworm. "I can't heart a bitch but I can heart a gram."
Bear, The Lion - Bam is constantly obtaining gifts for Phoenix and then complaining he can't give them to Phoenix. One such gift was a stuffed lion that Bam carried around the Atlantic City Boardwalk (I'm sure it smelled lovely). Bam made an IG post to complain he couldn't give the lion to Phoenix, except he called it a bear.
Yelawolf - A long time friend of Bam's and rapper. He's also now an avid golfer repping the Malbon golf brand which markets itself to young, non-conforming golfers. Yelawolf lives in the Nashville area and Bam stops by his place 1-2 times a year.
Rob Swaverly - Long time acquaintance of Bam from Pennsylvania. Gives off big crackhead energy and keeps referring to something called "Golden Squad" that no one seems to know what it means. Also swears Bam is a "best friend" of his even though it appears they only may have known each other as young kids and then in passing as adults.
Fuck tent - Bam wrote an entire "business plan" for a sort of rehab that he would enjoy. It included Jess running some sort of music program, the Shaman doing rituals and meditation, and a fuck tent where the people living there would presumably go to fuck.
Ya mon - Bam says this as a sign off in a lot of his Cameos and rants, but when the Yemen flag started to appear in his IG captions, it became more of a joke because it appears he was using voice-to-text and it was interpreting "Yah mon" as "Yemen" and posting the Yemen flag emoji.
Kyle - Bam's roommate in rehab that told the same stories over and over. Bam said to him, "Great story, Kyle! Can you tell it again!" as a joke.
Navarone - Son of Priscilla Presley and also has a band. Bam and Navarone frequently talk via IG and take their conversations live sometimes Danni will be seen in the background nude or wrapped in a towel. Navarone supposedly gave Bam some of Elvis Presley's items (see next entry).
Elvis Presley Robe - Navarone supposedly gave Bam a robe and ring owned by Elvis Presley. This turned out to be false with Priscilla coming out to say she would never do such a thing and found Bam disturbing. Bam meanwhile made up an impromptu rap that went "Elvis Presley robe, let's go, let's go, let's go!" Here's the rap: https://www.reddit.com/LetsTalkBam/s/xwFNlaLHbj
Steven Donnelly - Possibly the booking agent for Bam's recent UK tour. Bam claims Steven refused to give him money and was trying to scam him, which is why the tour was cancelled. People called Bam out in the comments saying they had worked with Steven and found him to be fantastic. A venue even came forward to say no money was ever given to Steven and that Bam's figures ($150k in profits) were inflated and impossible given the size of the tour and the fees being paid.
Amore ad Lunam - HIM tribute band located in Puerto Rico. Bam went to PR fresh off his failed UK tour to "record an album" with them and apparently a music video.

2024.05.04 14:18 collie_daft Uninvited mum to wedding - have a I been too harsh?
My mum (73 F) and I (35F) have always had a strained relationship as long as I can remember. Our household growing up had shouting daily from her - towards my dad, me, my brother and my sister. My dad just puts up with her, says nothing and just gets on with it, my brother has had severe mental health issues and low self esteem which is now better he has a partner and son, and my sister always just buried herself in books when young and moved away. We all still go home to our parents, we’ve always had a really good relationship with our dad however we are all in agreement that our mum has never really bothered or cared much about us.
Growing up my mum continuously would say I had a big stomach and looked fat and in outfits - mostly was when I was going to an event/occassion/dance so I’ve always been self conscious of that. All of us were extremely fat when young, our mum and dad have terrible eating habits and our mum would tell us to eat crisps, chocolate or yoghurt everytime we said we were hungry. We had dinner at 7pm when young because it was convenient for them as parents, and she never cooked from scratch and it was always freezer food. We never had veg, salad, or fruit as it was too expensive. We also never had bedtimes and up as late as we wanted, no boundaries. My dad worked 2 jobs while mum stayed at home … so I get things were extremely hard. It was difficult. Their relationship and communication is crap, so it isn’t great overall. But same time she has never had a proper job or career because she could never cope and never got on with anyone. My mum has no friends, has fallen out with every single neighbour we had, and every community thing someone’s always been horrible to her so she never did anything.
So now we are all adults we are aware of the shortcomings of our parents but have tried to be nice and accept the situation and our mum for who she is. She has never once phoned any of us since we left home, our dad phoned each of us every few nights, and when we are abroad working or on holiday, he always cared for us. She doesn’t enjoy having all of us home, she finds it too much however my dad is the opposite and loves having us there.
When I was young it was so bad between my mum and me that I said when I left home I’d refuse to come back but my dad would beg me and cry and so I would agree to go home to see him. I never spoke to my mum for almost 4 years when I left home. My mum used to call me a dirty slut and slap me on several occasions when I was a teenager so I still have those memories and resent her for that. She never helped me with my periods or got me a bra. She would get very embarrassed about anything like that and she’s never once spoke to me in my life about it. When she worked briefly when I was a teenager I used to phone her to ask her to buy me some pads, but she used to shout at me and say how embarrassing it was for her and could I not ask her to buy any. But she would never provide any so I didn’t know what to do. I was brought up in the countryside, takes an hour to get to our main town on a bus. My sister was always much more confident than me and more educated because she read loads of books so was more mature than me also. Me and my sister were never close growing up and we never spoke about periods or girl stuff. I was an EXTREMELY self conscious kid who was very shy and always nervous. My boobs are much bigger than my sisters and she never had an issue in gym with needing a bra so it was never an issue for her while I developed big boobs young and I never even had a trainer bra, my mum wasn’t even going to get my one until my sister suggested it to her. I don’t know what it is with my mum but she’s never been comfortable communicating with me. So odd for a woman to be so self conscious of things?
Things are much different now. I went to study nursing at age 22 and that’s when I started realising how strange my mum was. I was a bit aware as a teenager seeing my friends with their mums but as I got older I started figuring out how families communicate and watched how really kind older women nurses would care for patients and I just really gravitated to these caring ladies and loved having their friendships. They actually spoke to me like a friend and had a laugh which I’d never experienced before. I am a confident person now (to an extent and as much as possible considering) and I am very open about all topics, have a laugh, just very easy going will talk about anything.
I spoke to my mum in my 20s about everything and laid it out how I thought she had depression and would she consider counselling, however this was very frowned upon and it was a noway ‘i’m fine’ she said. Since then I’ve worked really hard to build our relationship and I’ve read lots of books, done a lot of personal reflection, attended counselling myself. Overall now I realise how insecure, unhappy and lacking of self esteem my mum has had and I actually have felt sorry for her. Even her sister (my auntie) says the same about her and she calls her an enigma. My auntie is complimentary how well all of us have turned out considering how we were brought up.
Also 5 years ago I was diagnosed coeliac and everything clicked - I then understood why my stomach was so big all these years, very bloated. I also was severely deficient in vitamins/nutrients, B12, iron etc and now feel like a different person. I feel super human now and realise how much I struggled my whole life prior. I realised how majorly depressed I was my whole life and it contributed to a host of my issues, many which are now resolved. A lot of embarrassing personal problems which was really bad as I was too embarrassed to even go to the doctor thanks to my mum.
I have a lovely life now, lovely partner, great job, I’m healthy, getting fitter, love nature, have lots of friends and enjoy lots of hobbies etc. We are due to get married in October and we are having a big party and what my family class as a ‘big wedding’ however it is pretty casual at our local village hall. Me and my partner are paying for everything and we’re pretty chilled out about it all.
The only problem we have is my mum. I knew she’d be self conscious that she’s MOTB and some had made a comment about it. And so have offered her help to find an outfit etc. I’ve booked hair and make up for her so she feels her best on the day and I will be paying for that. (Btw it’s not as if she doesn’t have money, she does. She got money from her mum when she passed away years ago and all the time goes on about how much money ‘she’ has … not her and my dad. It’s ‘her’ money.) Anyway everytime any of us offer to help her with her outfit or try speak to her she just isn’t interested and has declined any offers of us going shopping together. She said she would wear an old dress she has in her wardrobe (from 1980s!) and that my dad will wear his old grey suit. I offered to buy my dad or rent him a new suit which I had an idea of him wearing and he seemed keen but my mum kept arguing with us. That day my partner was with me and he first hand saw how my parents were behaving and even he got very frustrated and said he’d almost lost it with my mum. He was so frustrated and comes from a nice quiet family where they all get on and are fairly ‘normal’. What frustrated him most was the fact that she turned around the conversation on to me saying her biggest concern is that I’d not fit in to my dress and how she was so embarrassed of me when younger at my prom dance with what I wore etc. this was back when I was 16/17 and I’m 35 now. She went on and on about me being horrible. She keeps deflecting the conversation from herself on to me .. which I’m used to, but my partner was shocked and he struggles to understand her. So that was actually the second time she’d commented on my weight and I’d mentioned previously how I was upset she had done it prior so when she did it again I wasn’t happy.
The tipping point came last week when I was at my parents and my mum hadn’t really made a dent on cleaning the house. She is a hoarder (yes full on mental health problem!) and we are hosting my hen party in my parents garden. Me and my sister started tidying the main dining room a few weeks ago to help out but my mum won’t let us touch her stuff. We have offered to take photos, put everything in boxes then put it back after the party - and she seemed fine about this and seemed keen to start sorting and have help doing it. However when I went home last weekend she’d not done anything by the looks of things, and I commented that there hadn’t been much progress. Well she started shouting at me and said she’d not seen progress on my weight loss ! Well I’d just had enough. And I uninvited her to my wedding. She’s just so spiteful and horrible, says I started it by attacking her so she’s being horrible back. She genuinely can’t see we are trying to help and be nice. And also, I am a size 14 just now - yes I could be fitter, but I’m not huge !
Later my auntie contacted me and she can see it is decades long build up of resentment and I’d just reached my limit - which made me think, yeah it is. And for once I thought she be happy and excited for me, and make an effort for my wedding/hen party.
My partner is in agreement and knows what my mum is like and he can’t get over how little they’re interested in our wedding and have done nothing to be involved or to help in anyway. He’s really hurt and upset by it but doesn’t want to rock the boat and get involved at the same time.
I’ve tried my best to be supportive, patient, and kind. But I have now got to a point of when will she put people other than herself first. I have never expected anything off her and I feel she’s lucky that she still has relationships with her children and a husband who looks after her. Because she certainly has never put in any effort in or seems bothered. There are people out there that can’t have children and they are desperate and would love to have a family, and I just feel she is so fortunate with what she has in life and is so unappreciative. She is very privileged, went to private school, got money off her mum, has this beautiful house in the countryside that could be amazing and that we could never afford nowadays however it is in a dire state, she takes no pride in anything. She has a lovely husband and family, children who are NICE people and she seems to think we are the devil. We are very independent, all work, we have never asked her for support etc. She has a dream life … yet appreciates nothing.
So I actually moved home with them during Covid, I didn’t have to stay but they seemed to enjoy it and seemed to work for us all at the time, and it helped me save money for a house deposit. Our relationship seemed much better, we all got on well, we got a lovely elderly dog and I could walk him and they loved having him so it was really nice. My mum was also diagnosed with breast cancer so me being there I thought was good support for them. They are both getting elderly also so extra help and a bit of a laugh at times. Then she started getting frustrated at me that I was there which I totally understood and it was getting too much. I was actually working a job where I stayed away overnight 2 nights a week and met my now fiance so was at his a couple nights a week also, so it was more a base and I realised she needed a break from me. So I then agreed to move in with my bf.
However around that time she went mental one day about something (possibly a mug or dish, we realise she does have pretty bad OCD and can’t cope with people there all the time). But she actually told me she hated me, and didn’t like anything about me. I was very calm and so I asked her why that was, and was there anything at all she liked about me and she said that when she had kids she didn’t think she’d have to bother about us when we were 18 and that we’d just go off and do our own thing, and that there was nothing she liked about me. She said she couldn’t list anything she liked about me. Now that really hurt me, but I tried to ask her why she thought that was and that it’s ashame she doesn’t want friendships with her children, and that we’re nice people if she wanted to get to know us. She said she’s my mother and she’s not my friend. She did mention something about her dad that it was very strict and serious, and I did try to make her think a little and asked her why would she not want different to what she experienced. Anyway that was a few years ago and I still spoke to her after this because I just genuinely felt sad about everything. Sad that she can’t enjoy us. Sad she can’t seem to enjoy anything in life.
My brother and his partner had a baby in January and my brother sent a photo and video of our mum holding my nephew and she was laughing and smiling in it … my brother was amazed and commented how we’d never seen her laugh or smile ever and look how different she is.
Growing up I can’t ever remember getting a hug off her. She never comforted me, or any of us. I remember my brother cut his finger with a sharp knife cutting beaches in the garden and looking back his injury was AWFUL he should have gone to hospital, he could have lost his fingers and bled out. I remember my brother as a teenager standing at the sink white as a ghost with blood gushing out his finger and my mum just walked out the kitchen and said ‘well it’s your own fault’ and she left. And then my brother walked out crying and went to his room with blood soaking through kitchen roll. This makes me well up and I feel sorry for my brother. There was a number of things that happened over the years where she treated him like this. I found out from his now gf that when she first started dating him she found a noose on his house. He cut everyone off for 2 years prior to this, I used to see him and I’d txt him and go visit him when I could. He worked away so it was quite hard. But my mum went to visit him one day, left the car running, walked up to his door to invite him to dinner and he asked her in for a cup of tea. She declined and left. That was the first contact she had with him In 2 years and she was miffed he never took her up on her offer of a meal out. She’s ridiculous. I was like ehh why didn’t you go in for a cup of tea and a chat, she said she was busy. She isn’t busy, she doesn’t do anything all day long. He was in hospital with a suspected stroke a few years ago also and neither of my parents went to visit him. He contacted my dad and told him, and I was in a different city at the time and didn’t know as my brother or parents hadn’t got in touch. So by the time I found out he was already home. They didn’t even go to see him, they didn’t even think it was a big deal enough to tell me ! I was so upset with them and I did email them telling them how disappointed I was in them. I’d reached a point then I just couldn’t understand them any longer.
There are so many things over the years.
Since I’ve uninvited my mum neither my dad or mum have called to speak to me. They just expect things to blow over and make out like it’s me who’s the problem and the drama queen. I’ve just had enough.
I have spent a lot of my late 20s and early 30s trying to make sense of them both, their relationship etc, and I thought they’d maybe finally learned a thing or two … but they never will. All I want is a mum I can sit and have a tea with and a giggle. I so long for that … but am so aware it’ll never happen.
My parents are unhappy together and my mum just spends all day everyday moaning and shouting at my dad, and he just ignores her all the time, and then she moans about that too !
And my siblings and I are so happy with our partners and our lives … and I personally feel like the only thing that brings me down now is my parents. My dad just ignores everything and pretends it’s all fine. There’s other drama with him and my half siblings and he doesn’t have good relationships with them either and he behaves erratically threatening them. I understand that as he’s had TIA’s in the past and his personality has changed a bit, however my half siblings aren’t quite as understanding.
It’s just sad, the whole situation. And what drama ! I just can’t be doing with it and want a quiet, peaceful life to enjoy.
But does anyone have any advice for me? Or any suggestions?
Part of me feels I should go and speak with them, be the bigger person once again. But I’m just tired of it. It’s like I always have to be the adult and take the first step. Or should I just cut my losses and keep them out of my life? It feels so sad, but like a weight has been lifted.
I thought my dad would have reached out to me and that’s hurt me so much… I really don’t know if I can forgive them this time.
Sad times. Thanks for reading.

I was very calm and so I asked her why that was, and was there anything at all she liked about me and she said that when she had kids she didn’t think she’d have to bother about us when we were 18 and that we’d just go off and do our own thing, and that there was nothing she liked about me. She said she couldn’t list anything she liked about me. Now that really hurt me, but I tried to ask her why she thought that was and that it’s ashame she doesn’t want friendships with her children, and that we’re nice people if she wanted to get to know us. She said she’s my mother and she’s not my friend. She did mention something about her dad that it was very strict and serious, and I did try to make her think a little and asked her why would she not want different to what she experienced. Anyway that was a few years ago and I still spoke to her after this because I just genuinely felt sad about everything. Sad that she can’t enjoy us. Sad she can’t seem to enjoy anything in life.
My brother and his partner had a baby in January and my brother sent a photo and video of our mum holding my nephew and she was laughing and smiling in it … my brother was amazed and commented how we’d never seen her laugh or smile ever and look how different she is.
Growing up I can’t ever remember getting a hug off her. She never comforted me, or any of us. I remember my brother cut his finger with a sharp knife cutting beaches in the garden and looking back his injury was AWFUL he should have gone to hospital, he could have lost his fingers and bled out. I remember my brother as a teenager standing at the sink white as a ghost with blood gushing out his finger and my mum just walked out the kitchen and said ‘well it’s your own fault’ and she left. And then my brother walked out crying and went to his room with blood soaking through kitchen roll. This makes me well up and I feel sorry for my brother. There was a number of things that happened over the years where she treated him like this. I found out from his now gf that when she first started dating him she found a noose on his house. He cut everyone off for 2 years prior to this, I used to see him and I’d txt him and go visit him when I could. He worked away so it was quite hard. But my mum went to visit him one day, left the car running, walked up to his door to invite him to dinner and he asked her in for a cup of tea. She declined and left. That was the first contact she had with him In 2 years and she was miffed he never took her up on her offer of a meal out. She’s ridiculous. I was like ehh why didn’t you go in for a cup of tea and a chat, she said she was busy. She isn’t busy, she doesn’t do anything all day long. He was in hospital with a suspected stroke a few years ago also and neither of my parents went to visit him. He contacted my dad and told him, and I was in a different city at the time and didn’t know as my brother or parents hadn’t got in touch. So by the time I found out he was already home. They didn’t even go to see him, they didn’t even think it was a big deal enough to tell me ! I was so upset with them and I did email them telling them how disappointed I was in them. I’d reached a point then I just couldn’t understand them any longer.
There are so many things over the years.
Since I’ve uninvited my mum neither my dad or mum have called to speak to me. They just expect things to blow over and make out like it’s me who’s the problem and the drama queen. I’ve just had enough.
I have spent a lot of my late 20s and early 30s trying to make sense of them both, their relationship etc, and I thought they’d maybe finally learned a thing or two … but they never will. All I want is a mum I can sit and have a tea with and a giggle. I so long for that … but am so aware it’ll never happen.
My parents are unhappy together and my mum just spends all day everyday moaning and shouting at my dad, and he just ignores her all the time, and then she moans about that too !
And my siblings and I are so happy with our partners and our lives … and I personally feel like the only thing that brings me down now is my parents. My dad just ignores everything and pretends it’s all fine. There’s other drama with him and my half siblings and he doesn’t have good relationships with them either and he behaves erratically threatening them. I understand that as he’s had TIA’s in the past and his personality has changed a bit, however my half siblings aren’t quite as understanding.
It’s just sad, the whole situation. And what drama ! I just can’t be doing with it and want a quiet, peaceful life to enjoy.
But does anyone have any advice for me? Or any suggestions?
Part of me feels I should go and speak with them, be the bigger person once again. But I’m just tired of it. It’s like I always have to be the adult and take the first step. Or should I just cut my losses and keep them out of my life? It feels so sad, but like a weight has been lifted.
I thought my dad would have reached out to me and that’s hurt me so much… I really don’t know if I can forgive them this time.
Sad times. Thanks for reading.
2024.05.03 03:03 YachtRockGroupie MANIFEST DESTINY: WHO MEGHAN SAYS SHE IS VS WHO MEGHAN REALLY IS. A comprehensive portfolio for her new publicist.
 | So, you've been hired to be Meghan Markle's new publicist. Hey, it's a job, and we all need one of those. But how exactly do you...DO said job? How do you convince the public that Meghan is everything she tells us - but doesn't show us - she is? submitted by YachtRockGroupie to SaintMeghanMarkle [link] [comments] It's a daunting task. Here, I've listed ALL of the things Meghan has claimed to be, and the reality behind those claims. love how she's always all these things that she never DOES. POLITICAL ACTIVIST! - The ONLY issues she's ever taken a stand on: Pro censorship, and pro calling people in another country racist. Oh, and that fucking dish soap commercial. Gavin Newsom blocked her number (allegedly). ROYAL! - From a member of the "Fab Four," to shilling jam in Montecito, and sucking up to Kris Jenner. Enough said. MOTHER! - Where the hell are your kids, woman? Always appears alone or with Harry. Doesn't know their exact ages when forced to speak about them. Can't even make up cute stories about them, it's just, "The little ones are little." ACTRESS! - Her only real career success was Suits, where all she did was play her actual self. HazNoBalls miraculously greased up Disney's Bob Iger into giving her her one - and only - post Royalty role, ever - a long forgotten voiceover. FASHIONISTA! - It's pretty obvious Doria was never around when Meghan was growing up to give her the proper basic fashion guidance most women get from their mothers. I can only think of two outfits she's worn in the past half decade that actually look decent on her. She's never met a tailor or iron she likes. She constantly mixes cool and warm tones, wears clothes that are either too tight or too loose, and dresses inappropriately for every occasion. She doesn't even know how to wear a bra properly. Girl's a mess! WOMAN OF COLOR! - 43% Nigerian by way of 100% bronzer. No actual black friends. Was "white" on CV forms and applications. A HUGGER! - More like a mean girl boundary violator, who pushes and shoves into your comfort zone, then demands use of your lipgloss, house, or private jet. FOODIE! - She can apparently stick a chicken in the oven. She also claims to have made jam, which looks gross, and she can only think to spread unimaginatively on white bread. According to Tom Bower, she can only prepare about four different meals, which, in addition to roast chicken, include avocado toast, and boiling water for pasta. ORGANIC NATURAL BEAUTY! - Slathers makeup on with a trowel. Obviously wears a weave/wig/hair extensions. Made press for wearing stripper false eyelashes - which peeled off at the corners - at Royal events. LOVES FAMILY! - Wrote a children's book about a child's bond with his father, while cutting off both her own father and her FIL, as well as nearly every other blood relative and inlaw. Only family member she speaks to is her mother, whom she obviously despises but keeps around for race-cred SPONTANEOUS AND FUN! - Micromanager extraordinare. Has a "mini bachelor producer in her brain." Takes self extraordinarily seriously. Zero sense of humor. Starts fights with people who do try to have one (like Harry's former friends). Ruins events with sour, prissy disposition and bad manners. WELL CONNECTED! - Consistently lies about and exaggerates connections to her "famous friends." Has to get sneaky to get photographed "with" Cameron Diaz. Emailing Michelle Obama and Sophie Trudeau turned into a chicken taco lunch date and a fun belly laugh-filled pool date, respectively. Ellen DeGeneres told her to adopt Bogart (Ellen does not recall this). Beyonce texted her to tell her how "brave and inspirational" she was. Oh, and Diana speaks to her through the grave. SURE, JAN. AUTHOR! - Wrote one horrible, trite children's book. And every copy of The Stench that didn't stink up clearance bins in bookstores was purchased by her, as seen in the 40 by 40 promo video. LOW MAINTENANCE! - Causes drama and discord wherever she goes. Skip Inskip's wedding reception should have been a giant red flag for HazNoBalls. As were the wild stories of paparazzi chasing her on icy roads in Canada, in whole foods, flying drones over her house, etc. The wedding drama, where she bullied Charlotte, claiming to be suicidal while carrying Archie... And it goes on and on and on. Lady C. and Tom Bower have written entire books on it. SWEET PERSONALITY! - Despite "five unnamed close friends" testifying to her incredible loyalty, humility, and purity as a person, by every single account and by her own actions she has proven to be petty, nasty, vindictive, calculated, disloyal, dishonest, disingenuous, selfish, attention-stealing, manipulative, spoiled, brash, and oppositionally defiant. INDUSTRIOUS! - To paraphase TW, perhaps the ONLY thing "Type A" about her is her blood type. She can never finish any projects at all. Archetypes was a lazy, uninspired flop that took literal years. Netflix was a lame disaster. "40 by 40" - what became of that? ARO Scamberry Jam is already yesterday's news. And on and on. INDEPENDENT: Two words: The Claw. CURIOUS GLOBAL CITIZEN/WORLD TRAVELLER! - Anywhere she travelled during her Tig days had a port for a yacht, and was on some fat 70 y/o rich dude's or Saudi Prince's dime (allegedly). Does curiously little travelling now, unless it's for one of Harry's things. FEMINIST! - Reported to bully and shame female employees/staff. All of her female "friends" are/were used for social climbing practices, and promptly discarded. Has always achieved financial/career success through seduction of/marriage to powerful men. Also, where's Glo lately? BRAINIAC! - The only thing she's actually "smart" at is manipulation and social climbing. Other than that, she can't even learn the British National Anthem. Constantly misuses $5 words, like her favorite, "gutteral." PHILANTHROPIST! - Demands payment for appearing, and also charges charities for her travel expenses and camera crew. Couldn't believe that with the BRF, she had to do that shit for FREE. Briefly pretended to love Africa and peeing in bushes to snag HazNoBalls. |

2024.05.02 21:49 SagaSolejma I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I think I got sexually assaulted about a week ago and I don't think I'm healing from it as well as I think I am.
So yeah. Trans girl here. I guess I'm mainly just sharing this here because I don't really have anyone to talk to irl, and I guess I hope some of you have some advice on how to deal with this. I thought I was fine and that I was moving on but it's become clear to me now that I'm not really fine.
It happened I think a week and a couple of days ago now. I was out having fun with some of my friends in the city, a bit late at night but nothing serious. Just normal teenagers-who-are-almost-adults stuff. Some of them were getting a bit tipsy, but I don't really like to drink alcohol. I also can't legally get some of the stronger drinks anyways since I'm only 17 (turning 18 in about 4 months though). I'm the youngest one in my friend group, with most of them being 18 and 19.
At one point we ran into this drunk guy at a bar. I'm gonna call him Dave. I've had a run in with Dave before as he used to be a part of our friend group, since he was pretty good friends with one of my male friends. He's I think 20. Back then he started asking me online for nudes, offering payment if I took a video of myself masturbating in a dress, and just generally saying all sorts of disgusting things to me after he had accidentally caught me changing once, which led to me screenshotting all of it and showing it to my friend group (I only showed the screenshots after I had told him to back off multiple times.) my friends promptly ousted him from the group. He came back at one point though and started threatening me, and I think it would have probably escalated into him being violent towards me if some of my friends weren't alerted and stepped in to help.
I guess now's a good time as any to go into a bit more detail about my transness, since it's probably relevant. I've been on hormones for almost 5 months now, and while I'm not out yet, it is possibly the worst kept secret among my friend group that I'm trans. It's also why Dave had even been able to catch me changing in the first place. I've developed unusually quickly on my chest and I'm guessing he noticed that, and I guess I became some sort of fetish object for him. I should also mention that I am (according to other people) not really masculine at all in appearance. I was born intersex, I'm only 1,69 meters tall and live in a country where the average height for men is 1,81 meters, I have (supposedly) a very small/feminine build, I don't really have any muscles at all and I (supposedly) don't have a very masculine face. I don't pass or malefail per say since I'm constantly boymoding but I'm pretty sure most strangers think I'm just somewhere in between when they see me, even though I usually never present very femininely. I'm also a very quiet and polite person, and I usually never speak over other people and just do what I'm told.
So we run into Dave. He seems pretty drunk, and is seemingly in a friendly mood. I try to tell some of my friends that I don't really feel comfortable being there with him, but they kinda push it away and tell me not to be worried, since he was both drunk and in a good mood. I guess it made sense so I just listened to them. We're sitting at one of those round tables you find in a lot of bars, just talking and overall having a pretty good time. It's getting a bit dark out. At one point it gets a bit loud, and I step outside to get some fresh air. The city isn't like completely empty or anything, but the alley that the bar lies in is pretty small and isolated. I just start looking at my phone for a bit, when Dave then comes out of the building. He looks around as if he's confused, but then he sees me and locks his eyes on me. I ask him what's up and he slowly walks up to me, just talking a bit. Then he grabs my arm. I tell him to stop and let go, but he doesn't listen to me. He starts saying some really cruel stuff to me that I don't really want to talk about here, but it was really horrible. I tell him to let go again but then he grabs my other arm. I physically can't escape, since he's a lot stronger and taller than me, he's pretty big and I think almost 25 centimetres taller than me. I try again and again to get away from him and tell him to stop, but he doesn't. He begins leaning me down on the ground, still holding me. At this point I begin to try and kick him, but he places his knees on my legs and restrains them. He just keeps on talking more and more aggressively to me, calling me all sorts of both misogynistic and transphobic names. He begins talking about how I was teasing him and that I'm just playing hard to get, and then he starts pulling my pants down with one hand and his other hand goes under my shirt and bra and he then starts touching me. I try to resist to make it harder for him, but I just can't do much against him. At that point I started screaming and luckily someone inside the bar heard, cause two of my friends immediately came out and pushed him off of me, and started yelling at him. I think one of them also kicked him.
Everything after feels like a blur. I know one of my friends came over to me, got me standing up and pulled my pants up, and then took me to her place. I remember I had tears running down my face, but it's like I was too shocked and scared to cry. I remember not really talking much to my friend, but just falling asleep in her bed. The next morning I woke up before she did and I just felt so... embarrassed, so I went home without waking her, and I haven't really talked to anyone about it since. I know my friends have been texting me but I just can't get myself to answer. My parents have been asking me if there's something wrong but I just don't want to worry them, and I just feel so ashamed.
I just don't know what to do. I thought I was fine, but I flinched today when a large guy came kind of close to me at a store. I get nightmares at night about it and I don't leave my home out of fear of meeting him again. I want to go back to how I felt before but I'm just not sure how to do that. I feel disgusting about my body. I know nothing more happened other than him pulling down my pants and grabbing me under my shirt, but I just feel so violated and like my body isn't really my own anymore.
I guess that's just sort of it. If you read all of this, thank you for listening. It felt good writing this down. If any of you have experience with this, especially experience with how you move on after something like this, I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you.

I was born intersex, I'm only 1,69 meters tall and live in a country where the average height for men is 1,81 meters, I have (supposedly) a very small/feminine build, I don't really have any muscles at all and I (supposedly) don't have a very masculine face. I don't pass or malefail per say since I'm constantly boymoding but I'm pretty sure most strangers think I'm just somewhere in between when they see me, even though I usually never present very femininely. I'm also a very quiet and polite person, and I usually never speak over other people and just do what I'm told.
So we run into Dave. He seems pretty drunk, and is seemingly in a friendly mood. I try to tell some of my friends that I don't really feel comfortable being there with him, but they kinda push it away and tell me not to be worried, since he was both drunk and in a good mood. I guess it made sense so I just listened to them. We're sitting at one of those round tables you find in a lot of bars, just talking and overall having a pretty good time. It's getting a bit dark out. At one point it gets a bit loud, and I step outside to get some fresh air. The city isn't like completely empty or anything, but the alley that the bar lies in is pretty small and isolated. I just start looking at my phone for a bit, when Dave then comes out of the building. He looks around as if he's confused, but then he sees me and locks his eyes on me. I ask him what's up and he slowly walks up to me, just talking a bit. Then he grabs my arm. I tell him to stop and let go, but he doesn't listen to me. He starts saying some really cruel stuff to me that I don't really want to talk about here, but it was really horrible. I tell him to let go again but then he grabs my other arm. I physically can't escape, since he's a lot stronger and taller than me, he's pretty big and I think almost 25 centimetres taller than me. I try again and again to get away from him and tell him to stop, but he doesn't. He begins leaning me down on the ground, still holding me. At this point I begin to try and kick him, but he places his knees on my legs and restrains them. He just keeps on talking more and more aggressively to me, calling me all sorts of both misogynistic and transphobic names. He begins talking about how I was teasing him and that I'm just playing hard to get, and then he starts pulling my pants down with one hand and his other hand goes under my shirt and bra and he then starts touching me. I try to resist to make it harder for him, but I just can't do much against him. At that point I started screaming and luckily someone inside the bar heard, cause two of my friends immediately came out and pushed him off of me, and started yelling at him. I think one of them also kicked him.
Everything after feels like a blur. I know one of my friends came over to me, got me standing up and pulled my pants up, and then took me to her place. I remember I had tears running down my face, but it's like I was too shocked and scared to cry. I remember not really talking much to my friend, but just falling asleep in her bed. The next morning I woke up before she did and I just felt so... embarrassed, so I went home without waking her, and I haven't really talked to anyone about it since. I know my friends have been texting me but I just can't get myself to answer. My parents have been asking me if there's something wrong but I just don't want to worry them, and I just feel so ashamed.
I just don't know what to do. I thought I was fine, but I flinched today when a large guy came kind of close to me at a store. I get nightmares at night about it and I don't leave my home out of fear of meeting him again. I want to go back to how I felt before but I'm just not sure how to do that. I feel disgusting about my body. I know nothing more happened other than him pulling down my pants and grabbing me under my shirt, but I just feel so violated and like my body isn't really my own anymore.
I guess that's just sort of it. If you read all of this, thank you for listening. It felt good writing this down. If any of you have experience with this, especially experience with how you move on after something like this, I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you.
2024.05.02 18:44 Decent-Low5231 was my mom s*xually abusing me?
im pretty sure it was but i think it was a mix of both sexual and emotional incest abuse. i'm female (nonbinary but my mom thought demons were controlling me when she found out) and i grew up fundie and being taught that being gay is a sin, but my mom displayed some weird behaviors with me that i guess could be considered "gay" in some way.
my mother would walk in on me showering or changing all the time. she has never knocked before entering once in my life, and i always felt very uncomfortable when she did.
im not sure when this started but she would come up behind me and randomly grab my ass and after years i just got sick of it and snapped and told her to stop. she got angry and told me that i'm her daughter and that she can touch me where she wants to. (she has also gotten pissed the one time i brought this up during a conversation where i wanted to be vulnerable with her about past sexual abuse from other people. she was annoyed the entire time i was talking and when i brought her grabbing my ass up she said that i was being dramatic and that it didn't mean anything.)
she has also came up behind me a couple times and grabbed and squeezed my breasts while saying i had squishy boobs or something like that (my memory is a bit foggy because i try to block it out).
she was the one who introducted me to porn, i remember around 9 she found russian porn downloaded on the family computer, and my mother was accusing me of being the one who downloaded it. i did not know how to download videos when i was 9 and i had never heard of porn before that. she was yelling at me as images of people having sex were frightening me and making me make have weird facial expressions, which my mom several years later told me it was proof i did it. my dad told her he didn't do it, i can't remember what my older brothers said, but my mom believed all of them over me and made me watch porn for the first time because of it. i had completely forgotten about this for so long until one day my mom reminded me of it for no reason as she was yelling at me about me hanging out with men when i was 20.
i remember one time my mom took me to roses and made me try on a clasp bra because she didnt like me wearing simple sports bras all the time for some reason, and because i never wear those kinds of bras it was very difficult for me to put it on in the dressing room and she told me that we weren't leaving until i "put the bra on right". we were in the dressing room for about 20 minutes while she silently stared at me struggling and my boobs the entire time i was trying ti put the bra on. i felt very stupid and ashamed and uncomfortable and i hated looking in the dressing room mirror as this happened.
i remember when i was around 15 or 16 or so i grew tired of my pubic hair because it was irritating my autism sensory issues, my mom noticed that i had shaved one day when she walked in on me showering and she got angry and asked me why i was shaving there. she would then proceed to walk in on me showering or changing to see if i was shaven or not a good while after that. she would also sometimes ask me to get something for her while she was showering and when i got it and came back she would open the shower curtain to where i could see her naked and this continued until i moved out.
sometimes she would ask me to sleep with her in her bed when my dad was gone for whatever reason and she would spoon me like how a couple spoons and she would sometimes stroke my waist and hips and thighs and sometimes lightly touched the side of my breast.
when i was 18 i was not allowed to speak to anyone outside of my family, i did not have friends and i was not allowed to walk past the mailbox to do anything even as normal and mundane as going to the grocery store by myself. so when my mom found me texting men on my phone because i was immensely lonely and desperate to interact with anyone except my mom 24/7, she was obviously extremely pissed and took my phone away for quite a while. but i noticed after she ungrounded me when i was almost 19 and gave me my phone back, she had looked through several of the chats where i had sent nudes and sexual videos to men. i don't know why she looked at so many of the chats and my nudes because they were all basically the same and she should have gotten the idea by the second or third chat she looked at. i thank fucking god that i had not accepted by this time i was bisexual and sexting women because i have no idea what my mom wouldve done if she saw me doing a big of a "sin" as that. ironically ive seen her texts with her female best friend and it could very easily be interpreted as homoerotic flirtatious texts.
as for the emotional stuff, my mom would unload her emotional baggage onto me and be very jealous when i displayed behaviors that could be even just slightly indicative that i preferred my dad over her since i was very young, but her emotional dependance on me got bad around 16 or 17. my mom and my dad were fighting a lot at that point in my life, and by the time i was 18 they were not speaking to each other and my mom would constantly come to me for comfort for her broken marriage and other middle aged adult stuff i did not understand. i also think on new years when i was 17 she wanted me to drink a bottle of wine with her to cheer her up. i was constantly being the recipient of information that should be communicated with an adult closer to her age (ie her husband) and expected to handle her emotional distress in an adult almost partneresque way to validate her and her feelings, and she would get angry when i wouldn't know what to say or wouldn't constantly be on her side emotionally backing her up when she was against my dad.
i have since then moved out and i now live on my own, but since im financially dependant on my mom when it comes to insurance and healthcare i can't cut her off, and she still gets angry when she finds out ive been interested in men/a man when its very much appropriate for my age (21) to be so, she tells me i still can't understand romantic and sexual relationships and that i need to listen and come to her when it comes to romantic and sexual guidance. by the way she still wants to control me and see me pure to the point where she wants me to save my first kiss for marriage (that ship sailed a very long time ago).
oh, im just now remembering how one time she found out i had sex with a boy my age when i was 17, and her first response was "well i hope when i kiss you on your mouth you didn't suck dick that same day too!" or something like that.
i have been suspecting that my mom is secretly bisexual and hates herself for it, but is her behavior with me (homo) sexual abuse or is it just sexual abuse from a mother to her daughter and her supposed straight sexuality doesn't really matter because child abuse isn't bounded by sexuality? ive been wondering if an abusive parent is closeted and hates themselves for it can it be a factor in when they choose to sexually abuse their same-sex child as not just a way to abuse and belittle them but as a way of "exploring" their homosexuality without as much guilt, so to speak? that's the best way i can explain it. im not saying closeted abusers are evil because their sexuality drives them to sexually abuse, im bisexual myself and i have no desire to abuse anyone, abusers will abuse in whatever manner they want, but im specifically asking when it comes to nonstraight sexualities because society hasn't discriminated against straight people, so im asking can maybe a parent choose to sexually abuse their same-sex child but not their opposite-sex children because theyre closeted and want the "im your parent i can do what i want" excuse as a way to secretly explore their gay curiousities without as much guilt as say going to a hotel for outright lesbian hookup sex and make their child carry the burden for their guilt? for context i have two older brothers and while my mom did also abuse them she did not sexually abuse them, the sexual abuse and emotional incest was only on me, her daughtesame-sex child.
so i guess i have two questions:

so i guess i have two questions:
- was that actually sexual abuse and emotional incest? or was it something else under a different term?
- can being closeted/internalized homophobia be a possible factor in why a parent would choose to sexually abuse their same-sex child instead of their opposite-sex children? just to again clarify, the interalized homophobia and sexual abuse would be the problem, not being queer. i'm very proud to be bisexual and nonbinary and i will not take you seriously at all if you think just being gay makes you predatory. if this question is not the case then i respect that, i just want answers and to try to make sense of what my mom did.
2024.05.02 18:35 XanatosPendragon Double standard vent...
So here goes... Last week my girlfriend asked me to tell her a fantasy I wanted her to do. I said I wanted a blowjob while watching Selena Gomez music videos. Sounds simple enough doesn't it? She was hesitant and wanted to have a discussion about why it wasn't porn and make sure that I was sure about my request. Made it through two and a half of her sexiest videos and finished on my girlfriend's tits, that's only weird because she is a swallower. As soon as she finished I got her her iced macchiato as per usual and a wet towel to clean up. After which she headed straight into the shower. We cuddled and finished watching a couple of binge episodes of Shogun before falling asleep. The next morning she was quiet during breakfast before I had to leave for work and didn't give me my kisses I walked out the door. When I came home from work she was waiting for me in the living room with one of her girlfriends and said she wanted to talk. We had a pretty heated discussion as her friend was there for moral support because my girlfriend couldn't find the exact words to display and communicate how she was feeling about last night. That being said two weeks later she wanted a break and went to stay with her friend. She came back and we had a conversation about how my perverse proclivities were causing her to feel self-conscious and unsure about where my mind was when it came to other women. Not having to spell it out but we broke up.
I say that without saying this we had had multiple conversations before about our other fantasies and on the regular would act out a fantasy for each other. For instance she wanted me to go down on her every 15 minutes during fifty shades of Gray. I didn't have a problem with that that was getting to do what I wanted to do while she was getting what she wanted. It never dawned on me that she not only was writing down the fantasies and keeping score but also commenting and making little side remarks in a journal about how my fantasies made her feel but me fulfilling her fantasies didn't have any commentary. Just trying to put two and two together and still figure out what happened and where I went wrong and generally just trying to vent. Thank you for having this outlet.

2024.05.02 16:30 ForsakenSandwich1774 What's One Country You Are Concerned About in Either Semi-Final, and Tell Me Why You're Concerned for It.
For me I'm very concerned for Cyprus.
Silia, if you see this, you are an absolute rock star and are a beautiful and wonderful artist. Unfortunately, the staging package you have this year is killing you.
I predicted that Cyprus was going to open the Semi Final, and in my head I was really happy about that. However, after rehearsals, I'm really second guessing her chances of qualifying. Silia's vocals are phenomenal for being 17 years old, heck, she can even sing better than some of the older contestants this year. I'm not concerned for how she will sound on stage, but for how she looks.
In my head I imagined Silia to wear the golden suit and black sports bra from the music video. The staging I imagined to be a blank stage with just Silia and her dancers. I imagined similar choreography from the music video and Eurovision In Concert with the Liar walking dance move the song is known for. The lighting I imagined to be cyan, hot pink, and gold to match the summery and golden vibes the song gives. For the LED screen, I imagined a cartoonish background, similar to Mae Muller (United Kingdom 2023) just in the cyan, hot pink, and gold color scheme. I also imagined sparks to shoot out of the stage right when the song ends on the "Cause you're a liar!" line. Because of what I imagined in my head, if this what were to actually happen I would feel good about her running order spot, because opening the Semi Final in a super bright and dancey atmosphere then immediately transitioning to the dark and tense atmosphere of Ramonda would leave the audience a little stunned, but ultimately they would remember Liar more, which I was hoping it would. (I love you too Teya Dora, but you are a guaranteed qualifier at this point, so being overshadowed by Silia would still make you qualify).
Using the 30-second clip we have of Silia's rehearsal, we can see the outfit, dancing, camera shots, lighting, and LEDs. The dancing is along the lines of what I expected, however the dance break is underwhelming and doesn't feel as impactful, which I partially give blame to the lighting for. The lighting is definitely a unique choice. Red, black, and cyan? It just doesn't give the same vibes as the music video. The lighting makes the whole staging look too dark. For such an upbeat and dancey song the lighting I feel should've been a lot lighter. Silia also has a GORGEOUS tan, that's what should be used to take the audience's focus. With her tan, the white outfit actually makes sense because it makes her stand out in the darker lighting. But because there is no bright colors in the lighting, it just makes it look like she's wearing whatever color outfit the lights are. The LEDs are different, they don't look as expensive or high quality as Andrew Lambrou's (Cyprus 2023). They are also underwhelming.
Silia has a guaranteed Top 5 in the Semi song, but if she NQs, it will be because the staging did her dirty.
*EDIT*
I forgot to add that it seems Cyprus wants to stage with darker arena lighting based off of previous years. Elena Tsagrinou had a red and black color scheme, Andromache had a dark gold and pink color scheme, Andrew Lambrou had a dark blue and red color scheme, now Silia has a red, cyan, and black color scheme.

2024.05.02 15:05 eurovision #Eurovision2024: Rehearsals Day 6 - Live Blog!
 | TL;DR: This is the LIVE BLOG from Day SIX of Eurovision rehearsals in the Malmö Arena – please share your thoughts, predictions and questions in the comments! Here's the schedule for today: submitted by eurovision to eurovision [link] [comments]
------------------------------------------------------------------- 15:00 CEST: Välkommen! Hello everyone, and welcome back to the FINAL official Eurovision Live Blog of the season. It’s Day Six, and after a fun secondment to Malmö AMA central, we’re back in the arena for one more first rehearsal megathread. It’s Big 5 and host nation day today, so lots to look forward to - rehearsal sneak peaks, photos, TikTok links, backstage happenings. All exclusively here, kicking off at 15:40 CEST. Don't go away! ------------------------------------------------------------------- 15:10 CEST: Your daily reminder! No need to read this if you were here early in the week! But if not, some useful info: How rehearsals work:
------------------------------------------------------------------- Rehearsal 1: United Kingdom - Olly Alexander - Dizzy First up today is the UK’s Olly Alexander, singing his song Dizzy. He’s a very well-known and long-established performer in the UK, as well as an award-winning actor. Very helpfully, we received some staging notes from the UK delegation for this performance – here’s how they describe what we’re currently watching: Olly Alexander's Eurovision performance transports viewers into a post- apocalyptic dystopian boxing gym locker room, aboard a spaceship hurtling toward Earth through a black hole in 1985! We’re not making this up, we promise. Essentially there’s a big room set on stage, lined with dirty tiles and shower heads – this whole thing feels like a grittier version of George Michael’s Outside, so very much the vibe of the official video. Olly’s four male dancers are wearing (the bare minimum of) red boxing gear, and the camera angles keep changing so it feels like the room is rotating, backed by a spinning black hole graphics on the LED. It really does feel like they’re in a dirty locker room hurtling through space. In short, it’s VERY ambitious and mind-blowing bit of staging, with a gym bag full of special effects that mean it only really comes to life on screen. Also a note on the song arrangement – to our ears, there’s a new middle eight with extra strings, and the build to the final chorus is different. 🧨 PYRO UPDATE! Loads of sparks and fireworks at the end, which make it feels like the set is malfunctioning, then a final big bang. Photos coming soon! United Kingdom first rehearsal Eurovision 2024 - credit Sarah Louise Bennett/EBU ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rehearsal 2: 🇩🇪 Germany – ISAAK – Always On The Run It’s time for Germany’s ISAAK now, with his power ballad Always On The Run. Like lots of singesongwriters, ISAAK honed his craft as a street musician - he put on an impromptu street performance before the Pre-Party in Madrid, so hopefully we’ll see him out and about on the streets of Malmö over the coming week too. This staging has had a major overhaul since Das Deutsche Finale back in February – ISAAK is also in a room, but rather than a filthy gym it looks like a very stylish living room, made from a black metal framework that means he can still be seen from all sides. It also has an open fire - and from the first chorus, all three sides of the room burst into flames, like the house is burning down. Hard to capture the atmosphere in words, but it's really impressive. The set sits under the middle cube, which has descended from the heavens to create a ceiling, but during the middle eight the whole set is wheeled away and it’s just ISAAK in the middle of the stage, wearing a black suit and flanked by four backing singers. Watching both on screen and on the stage, it’s a really impactful three minutes – ISAAK’s interaction with parts of the room, the flames, and the dynamic change of set halfway through really elevates what is already a powerhouse vocal. We’ve see SO much great staging over the past week – still four more performances to go, but it’s shaping to be a VERY good year.

This song will open the Grand Final on 11th May, and WHAT a way to start the show. 22-year-old Marcus & Martinus haven’t released an official video for this song, because they didn’t need to - the staging at Melodifestivalen is basically watching a super-polished pop video being made in real time. They’ve brought the same show to Malmö, which means it’s our THIRD BOX OF THE DAY! The staging remains pretty much unchanged, down to the blue and black outfits and four backing singers in wraparound shades. But what feels entirely different is the scale - the cubes add a new dimension and elevated lighting effects, particularly after the box separates halfway through and the rest of the performance plays out at the front of the stage. From then the LED wall and the cubes go full pulsing neon, and the whole thing has so much bass it pounds through the floor. Hard to imagine how anyone isn’t going to be up and dancing in this arena next Tuesday - this is a certified 'let's go to Euroclub' bop. Since we're all about the boxes, we're wondering what France, Spain and Italy have in store for us...Slimane in a glass cube? Suggestions please.... Sweden first rehearsal Eurovision 2024 - credit Corinne Cumming/EBU ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rehearsal 4: 🇫🇷 France – Slimane – Mon Amour France’s Slimane is up next, with his sweeping ballad Mon Amour. He’s become an established star in his home country since he won The Voice (France) in 2016, and now has his sights set on Eurovision. The staging for this performance has the same energy as the official video, with lots of close-ups of Slimane sharing his pain and asking the big questions about love. His vocal range and the simple piano accompaniment create a kind of breathless intensity, and nobody does his kind of chanson d’amour quite like France. Staging wise, it starts with Slimane lying on the floor in a white suit, and he performs the first half of the song on his knees, interacting with the camera in a way that feels like a POV of a really intense argument. The juxtaposition of this with the questions he asks in the lyrics feels really immersive, like you’re part of the encounter. We might have just held our breath for three minutes. At the end there’s a section where Slimane steps away from the mic and sings the final chorus entirely acapella, in a cloud of smoke. We’ve seen this element before during pre-party season, but in this big arena it creates a haunting echo. Photos coming soon!

We’re taking a break for dinner now – back at 19:20 for Spain and Italy! Please don’t go away, we’re hoping for at least one more box before the end of the day. 🎁 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:20 Rehearsal 5 - 🇪🇸 Spain – Nebulossa – ZORRA Next up it’s Spain’s Nebulossa, bringing huge shoulders and big 80s synth-pop vibes to the Eurovision stage. They are made up of vocalist Mery Bas, and Mark Dasousa on keytar. Zorra means ‘vixen’ in Spanish, but it’s also used to as a slur in relation to women – I would share the relevant words, but after Aiko bra-gate I’m trying not to crash the liveblog. So this song is about reclaiming the word Zorra and breaking free from the discrimination free-spirited women are subjected to. It’s also a huge disco bop, and fans of Benidorm Fest *waves in Spanish* will be delighted to learn that the circular red sofa has come to Malmo, but a front section has been painted gold so it’s giving very classy Spanish flag. We don’t find this out until the end of the intro, however, because this performance starts out INSIDE the middle cube – it’s the first time we’ve seen it lowered all the way to the stage. Which means there's ACTUALLY A BOX. Incredible. The whole vibe and aesthetic is very much what we saw at Benidorm Fest, but just bigger and more fabulous – with lyrics on the LED wall during the singalong sections, and huge ZORRAs pulsing on the cubes. Mery’s costume is a sheer lace catsuit with flared trousers and giant puffy shoulders – we’ve just been told that it was designed by US designer Michael Costelloe and is encrusted with over 100,000 tiny crystals. Her two male dancers, meanwhile, start out in stylish black suits, but they’re soon dispensed with to reveal bare chests, thonged corsets and PVC thigh boots. It's three minutes of pure theatre, and we can’t wait to hear the whole crowd singing along to this next week. 🔥 PYRO UPDATE: Floor smoke all the way though, and bonus chorus fireworks. Photos coming soon! Spain first rehearsal Eurovision 2024 - credit Corinne Cumming/EBU ------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:45 BOX COUNT UPDATE We're now four out of five in a box. Cumbia through, Angelina Mango. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:00 CEST: Rehearsal 6 - 🇮🇹 Italy – Angelina Mango – La Noia We’ve made it to the final first rehearsal of 2024, and it’s Italy’s Angelina Mango singing her song La Noia. She was a big breakout star in Italy in 2023, with a sell-out tour and a huge TikTok following. Next stop Sanremo, then Eurovision. She describes her music as influenced by Italian and American rap, R’n’B and instrumental music, and La Noia has elements of all of these. This feels like a huge departure from Angelina’s performance at Sanremo, and even the official video – Angelina has five female backing dancers, and the staging feels like it’s set in a forest of naked trees. It also starts out with four of the five cubes lowered to the floor, projected with branches to enclose the dancers. So…four ACTUAL BOXES. They raise to reveal Angelina in the middle backed by a huge throne also made of interwoven twigs and branches. Her costume is a red sparkly corset with plant-like patterns on her legs and arms, and her dancers have a similar style but without the red, so it’s more of a nude effect. The whole effect of trees and plants and flowers on the LED wall has a really fantastical appeal – like a psychedelic, magical woodland, but make it fashion. Incidentally, La Noia translates as ‘the boredom’, and Angelina dances her way through it - literally the ‘cumbia of boredom’. Absolutely nothing boring about this staging – it’s full of colour and texture and richness. 🔥PYRO UPDATE - a curtain of fireworks at the back of the stage at the end! Photos coming soon... Italy first rehearsal Eurovision 2024 - credit Sarah Louise Bennett/EBU ------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:35 CEST: And with that, the Live Blogs are DONE for 2024! Apart from adding the remaining links, we're finished for the day. We've watched 37 incredible performances over the past six days, and the live shows next week are going to be a TREAT. Now first rehearsals are done, it's also time to call time on this Live Blog - it’s genuinely been an absolutely joy to share everything that's been going on in the Malmö arena this week. Tomorrow we’ll be back to AMAs with another batch of Eurovision stars - you can ask your questions This is Heidi signing off on behalf of the Eurovision team – huge thanks for all your contribution and appreciation, and enjoy the live shows next week! ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
2024.05.01 20:56 Intelligent_Crew_888 Dylan is not trans.
It all makes sense now. Dylan is not trans and he never has claimed that title (a trans woman) the only thing he will say is “it’s she.” “who’s he?” to viewers that genuinely see’s him as a male/man… hence them saying he/him. But i say this to say he isn’t a trans woman. He is an AGP. Autogynephilia, a male’s erotic interest in the thought or image of himself as a woman.

- When he is live he often refers to his “kitty” and “yitties”. One doesn’t have to be a scientist to know he obviously doesn’t have either. The constant talk about female parts gives him euphoria, because everyone knows a woman does not talk about her privacy parts like that on live. I don’t know how many clips I’ve seen of him talking about “I do have a vagina, how would you know/I can show you.”
- Women’s clothing, necessities. He has photos of him in a lingerie bra and also buys bras dramatically too big. No woman just casually has her profile pic of her in lingerie. And if she does 9/10 she has an only fans or does some type of s*x work. No shaming that is just the truth and how they choose to promote their work. If you haven’t seen the video of him with maybe a size B or C bra it’s on one of the awareness pages. It’s one thing to buy a bra to feel more like a woman, an 28AA cup would be the most fitting but a b or c ??? It’s just feeding into his Autogynephilia. The thought of having breasts that could fit & fill into that bra pleasures him. Next, there was a clip of him on live doing a haul and he showed some summer’s eve wipes. Now, if you’re a woman in here you probably have heard of the brand and products. They are a female hygiene company. The wipes are used to clean the outside of the vjj & to help balance your ph levels. I personally never have used them, i’m 1000% fine with warm water and soap lol. But what legitimate reason would he need those? There is no reason but 1 and I have referred to it already.
2024.05.01 15:52 SnooDingos8137 What do I do about boyfriends creepy dad?
I wanna start by saying I (22F) and my bf (25M) have an overall great relationship. We’ve been together around 6 months and I pretty much live at his house with his grandparents and dad. His dad is a pretty cool dude, I always enjoy going up to his room and we smoke and watch him play games. However, he is a very sexual person and you can just tell by how many comments he makes. Like he will complain about a video game all because he can’t get mods that make the women naked.
My boyfriend told me that he usually hits on the girls our age when they go out together, and as much as I try to trust my boyfriend, my trust issues have been affecting me recently. It just makes me uncomfortable that his dad is doing that with him.
Yesterday his dad came back from being gone for work for a month or two. We went and smoked with him, went down to take a shower, when we come back, there’s some girl our age sitting on the couch. They’re taking up the whole couch and it caught us by surprise that some random girl popped up in the 10 minutes we were gone, so we stand in the door for a second but then go on the porch. I’m immediately uncomfortable. (I’m an extremely anxious person and I hate meeting new people. Especially because yesterday I had just showered, no bra, started my period, that’s not when I want to be around girls my age I wanna look good).
We stand on the porch and my boyfriend goes inside and stands in front of her at least 8 times all for random excuses. So I’m getting annoyed but I’m still being nice to him, I really wasn’t feeling good and wanted to sit down. But then he gets super pissed at me and says we’ll just go back to our room, and I keep telling him if he wants to hang out with them then I don’t care to. And he just gets mad. But the thing is, I noticed his dad has a very explicit picture of her as his Lock Screen and my boyfriend keeps looking at it.. I asked if he’s noticed it and he said yes but he’s only looked at it once. Yet when his dad pulls out his phone he immediately looks at it.
Do I talk to his dad about it? I can’t talk to my boyfriend about this cause he gets pretty mad. Which I understand because I do come off insecure I know. But it makes me uncomfortable that we have no idea how old she is but he’s 65. He makes good money and it also makes me sad that that’s the reason she’s there.
I just don’t want to think my boyfriend is gonna turn out like his dad but I get scared that his dad is gonna influence him.
