2024.05.18 15:17 ImM3llow 26 [M4F] East Coast / Anywhere. I just got diagnosed as your boyfriend. Yeah no they said it's terminal we have to stay together forever until i dieđ€·ââïž
Edit: DO NOT message me a simple hi or hello, with no information about you, Put some effort in to your message like i have, come on. Day+Attempt#191
Hello everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read, I know its long, I know - I know. But its worth the read, Trust me. I appreciate you immensely.
Here's a bit about me,
My name is Jay, I live on the East coast of the US. I'm looking for love - like everyone else on here.., but you may not believe or even be doubtful that I've never had a GF before with me being 26, but its true. I'm simply just not willing to "be with" just anyone and I'm very picky. I want us to be a match, more than just have similar things in common.
One thing I have always been told is that I'm a "Real Catch, I'd be extremely lucky to have someone like you" - WELL THEN TAKE ME. I'M FREE. LOL.
About me:
Physically -
~I'm a semi-tall guy, around 5'10.
~I'm thin but muscular.
~I have dirty blonde/ brown hair.
~Changing colored eyes.
~A voice nice enough to melt all your safeguards and get right into your heart and weak spots.
~I do not have any tattoos or piercings. Though I would like to get some eventually.
If you'd like to see a picture of me just ask and I'll show you - IF I may see you as well, I simply just don't want a picture of me out there for anyone to see.
-If there's anything else you'd like to know just ask.
Otherwise -
~I do have 3 pet bunnies I would be more than happy to show you, they are extremely cute.
~I'm a very honest and down to earth guy.
~I'm very patient and easy going.
~I'm very curious and inquisitive. I will try to ask everything I can to learn all about you haha.
~I'm Very VERY Kind & Caring, I will probably ask how you are feeling a bajillion times a day, simply out of care for you.
~I can get pretty clingy, and will always want your attention and to be talking with you. If i have someone im interested in i wont want to talk to anyone elseđ€·ââïž
~I'm very trustworthy - you can confide in me, and entrust your deepest secrets and I wont tell a soul.
~I'm a HUGE hopeless romantic, im old fashioned and will always try to impress you.
- I'm, a BIG softie even though I may look a smol bit intimidating, but I'd do just about anything to see you smile or laugh. And yes.., I do mean anything.
~I'm a big goof - I will get up to some silly shenanigans ALL the time, I will crack dumb jokes and send you memes and tik toks just to make you happy, even if its from across the room I'd wait to see your reaction lol.
~I'm extremely loyal, and would never even think of cheating.
~I will cook for you, and clean up too, even around the house, I'm very self productive and don't ask for much. Just don't forget to kiss the cook.
~I'd also love to just cuddle up and watch a movie or read a book together, anything to get us closer. Id try to take you out on dates whenever possible haha. I have a million SUPER romantic date ideas I have but have never had anyone interested enough in me to take out. Here's your chance ;)
~I will always want to share stuff I find interesting with you, and try to share every moment of every day with you. I'm not looking for someone who can only talk for a small amount of time, I want someone who's willing to put in all the effort I put into them back into me, it goes both ways. If I'm "with" someone you are my TOP priority nobody and nothing else would be. You would be the only person I'd truly want to talk to, so rest assured I would NEVER cheat, even more so because no one is interested in me - Hence why I'm here hahaha.
I'm sure there is more to me than this snippet but I cant think of more at the moment haha, so get to know me and find out more about me.
Some of my interests are: Engineering- I'm a nerd. I admit it. I love being technical and hands on, I love building things. All kinds of things, from furniture, machinery, and reverse engineering anything I find. I love learning how things work and trying to improve things.
Music - I prefer music with a very fast pace, or with some very meaningful lyrics I can relate to. I love to sing along to music and songs that have a deep meaning behind it I can sympathize with makes it all the better. Some bands I like are: Bad Omens, Beartooth, Demon Hunter, MIW, I9K - The list goes on. I'm a bit of a metalhead unfortunately.
TV Shows & Movies - I love watching shows, and I'd love to stream some shows and have some E-dates with you, to get to know you, or if you are close to me, maybe we could do it in person. Some shows I like or more of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Comedy, Action, stuff like: National Treasure, Halo, BattleBots, Rick and Morty, AHS, Anything Marvel or DC, The Witcher, Wednesday, The Sandman, The Magicians, The Umbrella Academy, ETC.
Gaming - Yes yes I know, Basic guy likes basic stuff. But gaming has been a thing for me since forever. I know most of you wont care or want to hear that, but I'll leave out the specifics on this part unless you are interested in that, MEGA Bonus points if you are.
Here's a lists of Cons to dating me-
~I'm not Ryan Reynolds. Disappointing, I know.
~I will fight you on what goes on pizza lol.
~I'm not rich.., Yet.
~I can't pronounce Worcestershire.
~I'm slightly forgetful, but with good reasoning.
~(Not really a con but- some might disagree) I still have ALL of my firsts, Do with that what you will c:
~I've got an endless pile of love and affection and no one to give it to! What a dilemma! Help me fix it?
Other than that I'll save the rest for a bit more of getting to know each other.
Here's a bit of what I'm looking in you:
~Preferably someone with lots of free time, and loves to chit chat. I'm seriously not interested in getting 1 message a day. Though I understand people get busy, I personally am not willing to try to learn about you and form something with 7 responses a week. Effort gets reciprocated and I appreciate the time you put in me.
~Physically: -Iâm not personally attracted to anyone whoâs âcurvy/ chubbyâ, I apologize. Not a shallow thing, I just dont have the attraction chemical in my brain for that, Iâm sorry. -If youâre shorter than me, thats a plus to me. -I love dimples, if you have those when you smile, bonus points đ - Iâm not sure what else to put.., but as for nsfw wise find outđ
~I'm a sucker for a different accent other than American, and if you have an Posh English accent you have already won my heart.
~I'm also only really looking for someone within the ages of 18-35. I don't want anyone old enough to be my mom lol.
~I'd prefer (But not a must) people NOT on the other side of the world, as other time zones SUCK. I don't expect to find anyone who also has never had a boyfriend either, but that would be a real plus. I also don't mind a LDR, but I don't want that forever. But it gives us time to get to know each other.
But as for attributes I'm looking for in you:
~Someone who is above all else very very Loyal and would never cheat.
~Someone who is Honest, and will tell me the truth over a little white lie.
~Someone who is Kind & Caring, who'd constantly check on me, and accept me for who I am & help me improve day to day.
~Someone who is trustworthy, and I can count on to keep my secrets safe, or even just help me remember things.., I do tend to be somewhat forgetful.
~Someone who is very Patient and wants to see me succeed and will help me do so, just like I would help you. Even if its small day to day things, I would appreciate your company ANY time.
~I want a partner who is Affectionate, can reciprocate, and loves to snuggle and talk about their day, and what their interests are, and what makes them happy.
~Someone who can admit they get clingy or overprotective is a bonus.
~A partner with good communication is key, if something wrong we have to be able to talk about it.
~A partner who likes to game with me or at least watch me play would be a plus but not a requirement.
~Someone with a good sense of humor and like to joke around, I am a big goof after all and I love to joke around. Sending memes is always appreciated and good to cheer people up too!
~I'd prefer someone with the same music taste, but not a requirement, Plus if you wouldn't mind if I send you love songs occasionally that's a bonus, or sending me some back haha.
~Being willing to voice call is a must, Texting forever is not the way to go. I have to know what your voice is like haha, later on we can video call if you are comfortable with that. I prefer chatting on Discord because Reddit messages of any kind I'm sure you know are unreliable and sucky in general. So please send me your discord if you have one :)
~I would LOVE to see picture of your pets if you have any. Bonus points if it includes your beautiful self haha.
I'm sure there is more I'm looking for but I cant think of it right now haha, I will have to edit this when I think of it.
Please tell me about you as an opener! I told you a good bit about me, now its your turn haha.
Tell me some things like -
~What's your name?
~Where are you from?
~How old are you?
~What are your hobbies / interests?
~What about my post interested you?
~Where is my TV Remote?!
~Selfie? Pet pics?
~Hit me with your best joke or meme :)
~What's your favorite candy?
I'd LOVE to get to know you, and see where things go.
But yeah, I know it was long I'm sorry haha. Send me a message and lets get to know each other! :)

2024.05.18 15:10 Mewtwopsychic Some questions about 2.2 and overall gripes
I'll say it, the story was badly written. The content itself was good. But my god the characters keep speaking sentences upon sentences to answer one line answers. Was super confusing to figure out what was happening. So I have some questions.
1) We were supposed to be in Ena's dream all along, the moment we entered Penacony Golden Hour right? So why didn't it stop us from finding out the secrets of Penacony? Why didn't it just make Death (Dormacy), and Galhagar dissappear? Why didn't it just remove Misha, Mikhail and the watchmaker from the dream? I mean this is Ena's own world so it can control whatever happens. Then no one would have been able to reveal the secrets of Penacony.
2) Is Firefly dead or not? Like actually dead or not. This dialogue is super confusing
3) What exactly is Dreamflux Reef? Is it still part of Ena's dream? If so then where did Aventurine end up after Acheron killed him in 2.1? And what happened to his whole plan of gaining freedom from the IPC by truly dying?
4) If this is all Ena's dream then there has to be a normal dream Penacony somewhere right? Is that going to be relevant anytime?
I'm just really confused about what happened in general. Cool moments but man. Write more clearly please.

2024.05.18 15:09 NDC71334 Booking the 2024 AEW Men's Continental Classic
Context: I thought that AEW did a great job with the Continental Classic 6 months ago and I want to try to book the next one (as I imagine they will be doing this again). For this booking, I will be doing the men's continental classic in 2024. Now for this, we are changing one major thing for this tournament compared to what they did last year. The winner of this tournament will get a shot at the AEW World Championship at the Revolution PPV. The finals of the Continental Classic will take place at World's End. The world champion in this fantasy booking for around this time is Will Ospreay. All of these matches take place on episodes of Dynamite and Collision respectively (I won't book what match takes place on which network) , I'll just be booking the tournament week-to-week. Below are the competitors listed for each block.
EDIT: My first draft exceeded the character limit for a post so I will be trimming down match details
Gold Block: - MJF
- Just made his return recently, defeating Adam Cole at the latest PPV to settle their rivalry. Now has his sights set on winning the tournament and challenging for the World Championship.
- Konosuke Takeshita
- The Don Callis family has representation in this tournament as Takeshita has been taking the AEW world by storm the last few months, being the stand out in the Callis family. Konosuke Takeshita is the Don Callis's chosen one and declares that Takeshita will be bringing the World Championship to the family.
- Jack Perry
- Has been put in thanks to the Elite, looking to bring the World Championship to the Elite.
- Dax Harwood
- Playing the Mark Briscoe role of this tournament. Storyline-wise, he's been placed in this tournament by the Elite to keep the FTR from being able to compete for the Tag Team Championships. Cash encourages him to make this the biggest mistake of the Elite's life.
- Darby Allin
- Since returning from injury in May, has been on fire with key wins over The Elite in Anarchy in the Arena, Jay White, and Big Bill. Looking to get back in the title hunt.
- Eddie Kingston
- Last year's winner looking to go back-to-back, this time for a new prize. (I know he is injured in real life, i'm hoping he is recovered by then).
Blue Block: - Kenny Omega
- Has returned from injury and looking to get right back on track after being put in this tournament. (The Bucks tried to keep him from the tourney but was overruled by TK)
- Kazuchika Okada
- The Elite have two members in to try to ensure that the World Championship goes to the Elite. Commentary puts over his familiarity with this kind of tournament).
- Chris Jericho
- Seen as the veteran in this whole tournament, looking to make a statement and show his followers of the Chris Jericho "Learning Tree" how to succeed at the highest level and compete for a World title at this stage of his career.
- Ricky Starks
- Has also returned from injury recently and considers himself a master of tournaments (puts over his win in the Owen Hart tournament) and looks to win this one, and win the gold.
- Malakai Black
- The House of Black has been kicking all sorts of ass for the last several months and has a lot of momentum on their side. Malakai Black (the leader of the House of Black), will be part of this tournament to win the tournament, beat Will Ospreay, and continue to strengthen the momentum of the House of Black. The House always wins.
- Penta El Zero Miedo
- Was originally going to be PAC, but a week before the tournament, PAC was mysteriously attacked and deemed unable to compete (storyline). While AEW investigates to find out of PAC's attacker, Penta El Zero Miedo steps in on PAC's behalf to compete.
Scoring: Win=3 points, Draw=1 point, Loss=0 points
20-minute time limits for each match
Outside interference is prohibited! No one is allowed at ringside (breaking these rules result in a point deduction)
Gold Block: Week 1 - Eddie Kingston def. Dax Harwood
- We kick off the tournament with our first matchup in the Gold League between last year's winner of the Continental Classic, Eddie Kingston, going up against Dax Harwood. These two have a competitive match, with Dax pushing Eddie to his limit, but Kingston wins with the Spinning Back Fist. The two shake hands after the match and Eddie continues to celebrate his win.
- Konosuke Takeshita def. Darby Allin
- For this match, Darby takes control early in the match, going at a very fast-pace, hitting dangerous and high flying moves to keep Takeshita at bay. However, Darby goes for one too many high risk moves and it costs him, as Takeshita hits his Power Drive Knee to pick up the victory. Post-match, Takeshita brawls with Darby and throws him off the stage, sending him crashing into some tables, as medical personnel tend to Darby.
- MJF def. Jack Perry
- Before the match, there is a backstage segment between the two, as Jack Perry talks about how he remembers what MJF told him a long time ago and how he did in fact cut the goody-two-shoes act, but, instead of ruling AEW together, Jack has surpassed MJF and will prove that tonight. MJF tells Jack that Jack hasn't done anything yet to think that he has surpassed him and that being a top guy is more than just a cute arm band saying "scapegoat" and being friends with the EVPs. Max says that if he thinks that he is on MJF's level, that he can prove it in the ring against him. Jack is not amused. These two will main event whichever show they're on as they go back and forth. Both of them are using dirty tricks against each other and it appears that Jack has learned from their last encounter. Jack works over the shouldearm of MJF that comes into affect when MJF goes for Salt of the Earth but can't keep it locked in. The match ends after Jack attempts Salt of the Earth on Max but is able to turn it into a roll up and hold onto Perry's tights to secure the pinfall victory (because he's still a scumbag, but our scumbag). MJF gains 3 points and smiles and winks at a very frustrated Perry as he walks up the ramp, telling Perry that he still has much to learn.
- Gold Standings after Week 1:
- Konosuke Takeshita: (3 pts)
- Eddie Kingston: (3 pts)
- MJF: (3 pts)
- Darby Allin: (0 pts)
- Dax Harwood: (0 pts)
- Jack Perry: (0 pts)
Blue Block: Week 1 - Ricky Starks def. Chris Jericho
- Starks and Jericho go about 13 minutes. Jericho uses veteran trickery to get an advantage at times but Ricky is able to take control at times, showing how good he truly is. In the end, Jericho goes for Judas Effect but Starks ducks it and running against the ropes and hitting Jericho with a second spear. Starks immediately picks Jericho back up and hits his finish, Rochambeau and gets the pinfall victory. Starks gets his first 3 points of the tournament.
- Malakai Black def. Penta El Zero Miedo
- Malakai and Penta square off against each other and go a little over 10 minutes. The whole match is a sprint, as Penta tries to be more aggressive after being familiar with Malakai from their past encounters. The match ends after Penta goes for his package piledriver but is countered as Malakai then hits Black Mass to Penta, getting the pinfall victory. Malakai Black gets his first 3 points of the tournament.
- Kenny Omega vs Kazuchika Okada (TIME LIMIT DRAW)
- This is the main event of a very special episode of Dynamite. These two go back and forth with plenty of callbacks to their previous matches, but Okada specifically targets the midsection of Omega (who has had his surgery). Both men go for their finishing moves multiple times in the match but is countered by the other man. In the end, Omega goes for the One Winged Angel after hitting several V-Triggers. Okada is able to counter once again, hitting a knee strike to Omega's midsection (that sends Omega to his knees, that one really hurt him). Okada hits his finish, Rainmaker but is down as he is completely exhausted. He crawls over to the pin but before he can get to him, the bell rings as the time expires, ending the match in a draw (a callback to their first match). Commentary puts over how this may affect both men for the rest of the tournament. Both men are awarded 1 point.
- Blue Standings after week 1:
- Ricky Starks: (3 pts)
- Malakai Black: (3 pts)
- Kazuchika Okada: (1 pts)
- Kenny Omega: (1 pts)
- Chris Jericho: (0 pts)
- Penta El Zero Miedo: (0 pts)
Gold Block: Week 2 - MJF def. Dax Harwood
- These two have an old-school, classic wrestling match as Dax, again, pushes his opponent to their limit and give them their best as MJF has to dig deep to pull out a victory. Both men have their opponent in submissions, testing the will of their opponent as both fight to stay alive. In the end, after missing with a Diving headbutt from the top rope, MJF rolls Dax towards the apron and hits Heat Seeker to get the pinfall victory. After a tense stare post match, Dax finally offers his hand to MJF, MJF with a little hesitation, accepts it and the two shake hands after the match. MJF now has 6 points total and Dax is still scoreless.
- Eddie Kingston def. Darby Allin
- Darby is BARELY cleared to compete for this match, and it's even encouraged by doctors backstage that Darby pull out of this match to which Darby will of course refuse. During the match, it is clear that Darby is less than 100% and Eddie takes most of the match. Eddie, knowing that Darby is in bad shape, is concerned and tells Darby to stay down (not in a heelish way, but more in a concerned way. He doesn't want to beat Darby this way and hurt him even further). Darby just keeps on fighting, taking advantage of Eddie not putting him down and hitting come back offense, resulting in close near falls. In the end, Kingston finally puts Darby down after slapping Eddie to stop patronizing him and gets another 3 points. Eddie shows his respect to Darby after the match.
- Jack Perry def. Konosuke Takeshita
- Its a heel vs heel matchup but Jack will be wrestling heel while Takeshita wrestles a babyface style. Perry again is using dirty tricks but it doesn't faze Takeshita, who has been prepared by this in his training with Don Callis. It seems that when it is a fair fight, Takeshita is the one that is getting the upper hand, hitting the more significant moves during the exchanges. In the end, Takeshita goes for his Power Drive Knee but misses Jack, colliding with the turnbuckle instead (he sells the knee) and then, Jack Perry rolls Takeshita up, grabbing the tights of Takeshita, and picking up the pinfall victory. Takeshita and Callis (who now has entered the ring once the match was over) are fuming and argue with the referee who did not see what had happened. Jack Perry celebrates as he goes up the ramp and the Young Bucks congratulate him. Perry is on the board.
- Gold Standings after Week 2:
- MJF: (6 pts)
- Eddie Kingston: (6 pts)
- Konosuke Takeshita: (3 pts)
- Jack Perry: (3 pts)
- Darby Allin: (0 pts)
- Dax Harwood: (0 pts)
Blue Block: Week 2 - Malakai Black def. Chris Jericho
- Jericho cuts a promo before his match saying that last week didn't go the way that he wanted but to not worry, because he is at his best when he is the underdog and he will still find a way to come back and win this entire tournament (he says this in a babyface way but is still clearly a heel, continuing that story they are doing in real life). Malakai Black beats Jericho in about 13-15 minutes with the Black Mass after countering the Judas Effect with Black Mass. Malakai Black gets another 3 points.
- Kazuchika Okada def. Penta El Zero Miedo
- These two go a little over 15 minutes and Penta has his moments, but ultimately falls to the Rainmaker as Okada gets the pinfall victory. Okada get 3 points. Penta looks frustrated, as he has now lost twice already in the tournament.
- Kenny Omega def. Ricky Starks
- These two go back and forth as Ricky is very close to victory at multiple points (this match is designed to showcase Ricky and elevate him), especially at one point, hitting a spear which Kenny sells like death as that spear looks to very much damage his midsection. Starks goes for the pin but Kenny kicks out at 2.9. The ref starts to check on Kenny, who looks to be in serious pain but Starks knows that he is almost out of time and sets up for the Rochambeau to which Kenny counters into a roll up but is kicked out at 2. After being unable to connect with the One-Winged Angel because of his midsection, Ricky goes for his finish again but Omega pins Starks after hitting a small package rollup, countering Ricky's finish. Ricky Starks is shocked and frustrated that he lost but then tends to Kenny who is still on the ground, and helps him to his feet. Starks helps him to the back.
- Blue Standings after week 2:
- Malakai Black: (6 pts)
- Kazuchika Okada: (4 pts)
- Kenny Omega: (4 pts)
- Ricky Starks: (3 pts)
- Chris Jericho: (0 pts)
- Penta El Zero Miedo: (0 pts)
Gold Block: Week 3 - Konosuke Takeshita def. Dax Harwood
- There's a moment backstage between Takeshita and Don Callis as Don tells Takeshita its time to get serious, and that he needs to go out there and prove why he is the Alpha. Callis tells Takeshita to not disappoint him again. Dax and Cash interrupt the two men as Dax tells Takeshita that while he has no love or respect for Jack Perry, he says that him losing via cheating was karma coming to bite him. Dax says that after doing what he did to Darby, compromising him for possibly the rest of the tournament and aligning himself with Don Callis, any misfortune that happens to him will be of his own doing. Callis says that while Dax is a very accomplished tag team wrestler and respects his accomplishments, he tells Dax that he doesn't have the singles resume to address them in any manor. Callis says that Takeshita is looking for a bounce back, and says that Dax will be the perfect man to make an example of tonight. Dax tells him to tell Takeshita to bring his best, because if he doesn't, Dax will expose him. The two have their match, and despite Dax's best efforts, Takeshita picks up the win.
- Jack Perry def. Darby Allin
- Jack Perry attacks Darby before the bell rings, the official asks Darby if he can continue and Darby says yes. Jack Perry takes advantage of Darby being less than 100% but is also being cocky, talking trash and taking his time, rather than going for the win right away. Darby takes advantage of this by being able to hit comeback offense and take control of the match at a certain point. After an accidental ref bump where either Perry or Darby hit the ref with an accidental elbow. Darby gets the Last Supper in (and would have gotten the 3-count) but the ref take a little bit to get back up from the strike, and when counting the pin, Perry kicks out at 2. Perry picks up the win after hitting a sneaky low blow to Darby and hitting his finish, Blindside Elbow to get the pinfall victory.
- MJF def. Eddie Kingston
- Before this match there is a vignette promo from Eddie Kingston where he talks about the importance of winning this tournament and how happy he is that he is off to a hot start but doesn't have his eyes off the prize. He continues by acknowledging his opponent MJF and how different the two are. Kingston says that MJF has always had everything he has ever wanted and grew up different than how he did, he calls MJF privileged, saying that he hasn't had to work to the degree that he has to get what they have achieved in their careers. Kingston finishes by saying that against him there is no easy way out, and that if he is going to win, he's going to have to earn it and tells MJF that he doesn't respect him. He has to earn that too. MJF responds in a backstage interview telling Eddie that even though its true that he grew up different than Eddie to not disrespect and try to minimize his accomplishments and the work that he has put in to achieve his success. He tells Eddie that he doesn't care whether or not Eddie respects him, but that Eddie will have no choice but to respect the fact that he is better than Kingston. MJF nearly loses after teasing using the diamond ring but choosing not to which results in Eddie hitting a spinning back first for a 2-count. MJF ends up hitting the Heat seeker and pinning Eddie. MJF offers his hand to Eddie to shake his hand. Eddie refuses and just walks to the back. (Backstage, Renee tries to get a word with Eddie, but before Eddie can say anything, he is attacked by the Young Bucks and Jack Perry, trying to get an advantage in next week's match).
- Gold Standings after Week 3
- MJF: (9 pts)
- Eddie Kingston: (6 pts)
- Konosuke Takeshita: (6 pts)
- Jack Perry: (6 pts)
- Darby Allin: (0 pts)
- Dax Harwood: (0 pts)
Blue Block: Week 3 - Penta El Zero Miedo def. Chris Jericho
- These two men are desperate to get their first points in the tournament and stay in contention as they beat the hell out of each other. Jericho starts to use dirty tricks to try to gain an advantage and Penta is wrestling a lot more aggressively and brutally than we're used to (for those who are Lucha Underground fans, he's wrestling like the first few seasons in this match). In the end, Penta picks up the win after Jericho fails with his dirty tricks, getting caught with his feet on the ropes at one point. Penta low blows him after a ref bump, hitting his finish right after. Penta celebrates as commentary says Jericho now is eliminated from winning. Post-match, Jericho attacks Penta, frustrated of this result. However, Penta is able to get the upper hand of the brawl and Penta looks to tease going for the arm snap spot he does where he wrenches back on his opponent's arm, but then decides to spare Jericho, letting go of the arm and walking to the back.
- Kazuchika Okada def. Ricky Starks
- This is another 15+ minute match designed to showcase Ricky Starks as he comes as close as anyone has so far of beating Okada up to this point. Ricky has many counters to the Rainmaker, even countering one Rainmaker and hitting a spear after for a close 2 count. Ricky seems to have an answer to all of Okada's best moves. However, Okada is able to counter Rochambeau and finally hit the Rainmaker and get the pinfall victory. Okada gets 3 points and Starks has dropped his last two matches, still at 3 points total.
- Malakai Black def. Kenny Omega
- Kenny looks to be in rough shape for this match. Malakai relentlessly goes after Kenny's midsection, throwing kicks and knees targeting Kenny's injury. Kenny is able to hit big moves and have moments where he looks to be taking control, but before he can fully take control of the match, Malakai hits a heavy strike to the midsection of Omega, flooring him and sending him down to the mat. Kenny is able to fight back and hit significant offense but at another point, Black hits Black Mass to the midsection, sending Omega to the floor and nearly getting counted out. In the end, after Kenny attempts a One-Winged Angel, Kenny hesitates as his midsection is compromised thanks to Black's strategy, Black spits the mist into his hands and rakes Omega's eyes (The ref doesn't see as they are dealing with an exposed turnbuckle that Malakai exposed earlier). As Kenny is blinded, Malakai hits Black Mass, and gets the pinfall victory. Commentary puts over that this may be Black's biggest win in his career and the biggest win in the tournament so far. The final shot is Malakai sitting cross legged in the ring with the biggest smile on his face as referees and doctors check on Kenny.
- Blue Standings after Week 3:
- Malakai Black: (9 pts)
- Kazuchika Okada: (7 pts)
- Kenny Omega: (4 pts)
- Ricky Starks (3 pts)
- Penta El Zero Miedo (3 pts)
- Chris Jericho (0 pts)
Gold Block: Week 4 - Jack Perry def. Eddie Kingston
- Eddie comes out with a fury, immediately brawling with Perry to start the match after the attack from last week. Perry is able to use Kingston's anger to capitalize on his mistakes and take control of the match at times. Perry targets Kingston's previously injured leg from back in May, slowing Kingston down from being able to hit any major offense. At one point, Eddie is able to hit his Spinning Back Fist out of nowhere to Jack but isn't able to cover him right away because of his leg, but still crawls over to go for the pin. Perry kicks out at 2.9. Perry goes to the top to attempt a cross body but Eddie moves and Perry connects with the ref instead. Eddie gets back up and hits a second Spinning Back Fist and covers Jack (visual 3-count) but there is no ref to count the pin. Eddie is frustrated, knowing that was his best chance up to this point to get a crucial win. Eddie picks Jack up and goes for the Northern Lights Bomb, but his leg gives out, Jack Perry hits a low blow and then follows it up with his Blindside Elbow finish and gets the pinfall victory as a new referee enters the ring to count the pin. Jack Perry has earned another 3 points in a crucial match as now he is in a good spot in the tournament and Eddie looks crushed (though not eliminated yet, he needs a lot of things to happen to have a chance).
- Darby Allin def. Dax Harwood
- These two go back and forth in a hard hitting match and Dax comes as close as he has gotten to winning any of these matches. Dax nearly wins multiple times but Darby is able to get his Last Supper pin and beat Dax. Darby gets 3 points. Backstage, Cash is trying to motivate and support his tag partner until Jack comes into frame, laughing and talking trash to Dax, telling him that he is showcasing that he was the weak link in FTR and that he will be sure to credit Dax in his victory speech when he beats him next week. As Jack leaves, Dax is fired up, finding the motivation that he needed as Cash tells Dax that this is the opportunity to make the Elite pay for putting him in the Continental Classic.
- Konosuke Takeshita def. MJF
- MJF in a backstage interview before the match calls Takeshita, "Take-a-shit-a", and tells him that though he has been very impressive since they last had their encounter, he will show that when they step in the ring together, no matter what day, he (MJF) is the alpha. MJF says that there is nothing Takeshita can do to stop him from winning this tournament and in the ring, MJF will show Takeshita that he is better than him, and deep down, he and Don Callis knows it. These two have a main-event level match as they go back and forth, with both men looking to come close to winning at different times. Takeshita looks very intense and motivated for this match, wanting to not only secure a very important win, but get revenge on MJF who has insulted him and beaten him in the past. In the final stretch, MJF puts on the Diamond Ring and waits for Takeshita to get to his feet, but, before he can connect with a punch, the ref catches MJF in the act and takes his ring. The ref makes his way over to the corner to hand the ring off to the ring announcer at ringside, but Takeshita picks up MJF and drives him towards the turnbuckle, they collide into the ref, who drops the ring in the process. As the ref tries to get back to their feet, Takeshita puts on the Dynamite Diamond Ring and waits for MJF to get to his feet. Takeshita nails MJF with the ring, knocking him out right before the ref could see. Takeshita covers MJF and gets the pinfall victory in a shocking upset. Takeshita celebrates wildly as Don Callis comes running in the ring, hugging Takeshita and celebrating as if they have won the tournament already. Commentary puts over that this is the biggest win of Takeshita's career and has put him in a great position in the Gold League. Takeshita nails MJF one more time with the Power Drive Knee and leaves with MJF's diamond ring.
- Gold Standings after Week 4
- Konosuke Takeshita: (9 pts)
- MJF: (9 pts)
- Jack Perry: (9 pts)
- Eddie Kingston: (6 pts)
- Darby Allin: (3 pts) (eliminated from winning)
- Dax Harwood: (0 pts) (eliminated from winning)
Blue Block: Week 4 - Kenny Omega def. Penta El Zero Miedo
- Kenny is looking to bounce back and secure a victory in order to stay alive in this tournament while Penta is trying to build off his win from last week and secure a victory over Omega to stay alive in this tournament and keep his momentum going. Penta shows a more hard hitting style, using precise strikes to target certain parts of Omega. In the final stretch of the match, after hearing that there is a minute left in the match, Penta abandons the arm break spot that he was teasing and picks Kenny up to attempt a Package Piledriver. However, Kenny counters out of the Package Piledriver, hits a V-trigger and follows it up with the One Winged Angel and gets the pinfall victory. Kenny celebrates his win as he is still alive and Penta is sitting in the ring, furious that he is now eliminated from winning the tournament. The ref tries to tend to Penta but Penta shoves the referee, shouting at him in spanish and looks like he may attack but Fenix comes out to calm him down. There's a tense stare between the two and then Penta superkicks the ref as he gets back to his feet. Penta storms to the back.
- Kazuchika Okada def. Chris Jericho
- Chris Jericho cuts a pre-match promo, doing the whole style that he has been doing lately where he pretends to be a Babyface but is a Heel where he talks about how the tournament hasn't gone the way that he had hoped but he will be looking to have the biggest wins in the tournament when he beats Okada and Omega back to back. Jericho says that he will show his followers, fans, and the wrestlers in the back what it's like to be the greatest of all time and the Learning Tree. Jericho tries to use some dirty tricks to slow down Okada but in the end, after a little over 10-12 minutes, Okada wins with the Rainmaker, getting the pin. Okada is in a good spot while Jericho is still winless in this tournament as now, even he is looking frustrated.
- Ricky Starks def. Malakai Black
- A big match with big stakes for both of these men as Black can secure his place in the finals with a win over Starks and Starks needing to win to still have a chance to win this tournament. Malakai takes most of the match but Ricky gives him a fight, nearly pinning him with a spear. In the end, Malakai Black signals to hit Black Mass but Starks counters it into a jackknife pin, 1...2...3! Starks has pulled the upset win over Black! Starks gets 3 points and keeps himself alive in this tournament and Black (who would have guaranteed himself being in the Blue League finals with a win) now has to win next week against Okada. Black is furious, spitting the black mist into the eyes of Ricky Starks, blinding him as Starks screams in pain. Malakai then hits Black Mass to Ricky, and walks to the back as referees and doctors tend to Starks.
- Blue Standings after Week 4:
- Kazuchika Okada: (10 pts)
- Malakai Black: (9 pts)
- Kenny Omega (7 pts)
- Ricky Starks (6 pts)
- Penta El Zero Miedo (3 pts) (eliminated from winning)
- Chris Jericho (0 pts) (eliminated from winning)
Gold Bock: Week 5 - Konosuke Takeshita def. Eddie Kingston
- This is a must-win for both Takeshita and Eddie, but even more so for Eddie, who must win to have a chance (though it's a slim one anyway). Eddie comes out with a fury, trying to catch Takeshita off-guard. Takeshita goes for a lariat but misses as Kingston connects with a Spinning Back Fist (after only a minute has gone in the match) and goes for the quick, shocking pin but Takeshita kicks out at 2. The rest of the match is a hard hitting affair with Kingston refusing to stay down, even enduring some of Takeshitas best moves (Blue Thunder Bomb for a close 2-count, Spinning Falcon Arrow where Kingston gets his foot on the ropes, etc.). Kingston at another point hits a second Spinning Back fist but Takeshita rolls to the outside, avoiding the pin attempt. In the end, after attempting the Northern Lights Bomb, Takeshita counters and chop blocks Kingston's leg. Takeshita hits Eddie Kingston with the Dynamite Diamond Ring (the ref doesn't see it) and puts Kingston away, getting the pinfall victory. Takeshita and Callis celebrate the win and await their opponent for the finals and Eddie just looks crushed.
- MJF vs Darby Allin (TIME LIMIT DRAW)
- MJF can guarantee his spot in the finals with a win over Darby but after Darby won last week, he will be looking to win again especially against a familiar foe from his past. The two go back and forth, MJF working over the arm of Darby to set up for his Salt of the Earth submission but Darby is going for high-risk moves, even hitting a few of them to get himself back in the match. MJF looks to hit a tombstone piledriver on the apron but Darby counters it into a Scorpion Death Drop (Sting's old finish) and then hits the Coffin Drop to MJF on the apron, taking both men out for a little bit. With a minute left in the match, after Darby kicked out of the Heat Seeker, Darby attempts a springboard Coffin Drop but MJF moves out of the way going and goes for a rollup pin, which Darby kicks out at 2. Darby attempts Last Supper, but MJF kicks out at 2. MJF finally is able to get Darby into the Salt of the Earth after attempting it all night, and Darby is in serious pain and trouble. Darby can't get to the ropes but refuses to tap. MJF starts to bend and twist the fingers of Darby but Darby again, refuses the tap. Commentary puts over that MJF might break the arm of Darby if Darby doesn't tap and then the bell rings. The ring announcer makes an announcement, declaring this match, a draw. MJF looks devastated, knowing that a win tonight would have guaranteed him a spot in the Gold League finals. Now, his fate is in Jack Perry's hands when he takes on Dax Harwood later in the night. MJF is pissed off backstage, trashing an area of the backstage area in frustration. Jack Perry shows up (with the Young Bucks by his side) as he laughs, telling Max that he blew it, he choked when it was all on the line. Perry said that he's going to go out there and win, and when he wins and goes to the finals, he's going to win the whole tournament and eventually become the AEW World Champion (and says that he'll be an even greater champion than MJF). Perry leaves to prepare for his match.
- Dax Harwood def. Jack Perry
- Jack Perry is a cocky prick during this match as he thinks this is a shoe-in to win. Jack seems like he is more focused on showing off and trying to embarrass Dax rather than trying to win the match. Dax starts to fight back and give Jack some serious problems. With a minute left and feeling the pressure, Perry attempts a brainbuster but Dax turns it into a small package rollup and gets the 3-count, pinning Jack Perry! Jack Perry is shocked, now officially being eliminated from the tournament as he argues with the referee (and so do the Young Bucks as they come down to the ring). Dax leaves up the ramp and celebrates with Cash. They have succeeded in making the Elite pay.
Blue Block: Week 5 - Ricky Starks def. Penta El Zero Miedo
- Ricky Starks needs to win to stay alive and hope for the best with the matchups later tonight as Penta is now playing the role of spoiler. Penta seems to be wrestling different than we are used to, wrestling more like a Heel focusing more on his brutality than his high flying move-set. Ricky refuses to stay down. Eventually, after being frustrated he can't put Ricky away, starts to set up his arm break spot, having the worst intentions in mind as commentary says that this could seriously injure Ricky. Before Penta can snap the arm back, Ricky counters and hits a spear. Ricky then picks Penta up without hesitation and hits Rochambeau to get the pinfall victory. Ricky celebrates his win in the ring as he has done all he can and now awaits the results (he needs Jericho to beat Omega and Okada to beat Black). Penta is as FUMING and attacks Ricky Starks after the match, hitting him with a superkick and then the Package Piledriver to Ricky. Penta has lost it, as he starts to set up the arm break spot but as a ref tries to intervene, Penta hits the ref with a Package Piledriver as well! Rey Fenix comes down to the ring and tries to once again, calm Penta down but it doesn't work as Penta has now turned on Fenix, hitting him with a Package Piledriver too (he has truly turned Heel). Ricky starts to move a little bit and Penta notices Starks. Finally, he hits his Arm Breaker (snapping the arm back, whatever the move is called), injurying Starks as he screams in pain. Commentary puts over that Penta may have just broken Ricky's arm and Penta leaves. (so, with this, if Ricky is leaving for WWE, you have an angle that writes him off for good. If Ricky decides to return to AEW, you have a story waiting for him).
- Kenny Omega def. Chris Jericho
- This is a must-win for Kenny Omega, as he could potentially be in the finals as long as he wins tonight. Jericho says that this match is personal for him. Jericho says that not only does winning this match mean he doesn't go the whole tournament without scoring any points, but also gets revenge on the man that betrayed him and left him stranded in the tag division when he abandoned the Golden Jets (Kenny needed surgery but Jericho, being self-centered, sees it as Kenny abandoning him and being selfish while Jericho has done nothing "but be completely selfless, wanting to be a teacher and mentor, not a deserter). Jericho uses all of his dirty tricks in the book to try to beat Kenny. Jericho even successfully hits the Judas Effect on Kenny but Omega kicks out at 2.9! Jericho has the Walls of Jericho on Omega but Kenny gets out of it eventually being able to hit multiple V-triggers on Jericho. In the end, Kenny Omega is able to counter the Codebreaker, putting him in a powerbomb position but then is able to shift Jericho around on his shoulders and has him in position to hit the One Winged Angel and gets the pinfall victory. Kenny is officially in the Blue League Finals, awaiting to see who his opponent (or opponents) will be. Jericho just sits there in disbelief, he has not won any matches and has scored 0 points for the whole tournament. He looks over by ringside to see Big Bill, who is looking over at Jericho. Big Bill looks disappointed, shaking his head, and walking straight to the back, without his mentor by his side.
- Kazuchika Okada def. Malakai Black
- This match has very high stakes as Kenny Omega is now guaranteed to be in the Blue Block finals after beating Chris Jericho. If Okada wins, then it is he and Omega facing off one-on-one in the finals of the Blue block. If Malakai Black wins this, then the Blue Block finals turns into a triple threat match of Omega, Okada, and Black. These two have a very competitive back-and-forth match as Okada looks to avoid Black Mass and the Black Mist at all times and Malakai goes after Okada's arm, targeting and weakening it to affect his finish, Rainmaker. At one point, after missing Black Mass, Okada is able to hit Rainmaker on Malakai but grabs his arm in pain after using it to hit Rainmaker (but it's also the same arm that Malakai has been targeting the whole match). Okada goes for the pin but Black has his foot on the bottom rope to break the pin right before the ref counts 3. At another point, Malakai is able to hit Black Mass out of nowhere on Okada but can't get the pin as Okada rolls out of the ring after being hit with Black Mass just before Black can go for the pin. Malakai rolls him back in the ring and goes for Black Mass again but it's countered into a Rainmaker, but that's countered into a knee strike. Black goes for a lariat but Okada counters and finally hits a second Rainmaker (again, Okada sells the pain of doing his finish) and gets the pinfall victory over Malakai Black as both men are spent. The match is official between Omega and Okada.
Final Standings (Gold and Blue): - Gold Block:
- Konosuke Takeshita: (12 pts)
- MJF: (10 pts)

Gold Block Finals:
- MJF def. Konosuke Takeshita
- In an interview before the show, MJF addresses Takeshita by his real name (no longer calls him "Take-a-shit-a") and says that he has gotten so much better since their last encounter, but with everything on the line, he won't be able to put down the Devil. These two open the very special episode of Dynamite, "Winter is Coming". They have another great match, throwing everything they have at each other to try to put their opponent away. Takeshita comes very close, but in the end, after failing to hit MJF with the Diamond Ring, MJF makes Takeshita tap to the Salt of the Earth. Post-match, MJF takes his ring back.
Blue Block Finals: - Kenny Omega def. Kazuchika Okada
- These two have a face-to-face backstage with the theme of the encounter being, who is the true "best bout machine". These two have a classic that they are absolutely capable multiple times over of having as they also main event a special episode of Dynamite, "Winter is Coming". Omega and Okada again go a long-time and nearly go to another time limit draw. This match comes down who will make the first mistake. After a long battle, Kenny wins with the One-Winged Angel, putting away his biggest rival and going to the finals.
Continental Classic Finals: AEW World's End - Kenny Omega def. MJF
- The match is very similar to their first match on Collision. These two hit each other with everything they have, even showing some new moves that we haven't seen them hit. In the end, after going for the One Winged Angel for the entire match, Kenny finally hits it on MJF and gets the pinfall victory. Kenny has won the Continental Classic.
(MJF goes on to be a heel from this and Kenny Omega will face Will Ospreay in the main event of Revolution for the AEW World Championship)

2024.05.18 15:01 Fugi_not_Figi I desperately want to forget my babyâs father.
Iâll always feel guilty for the loss of a potential family, but I desperately want this man off my mind. I donât even know where to begin. I just have a lot to say and no one who really has the time to listen. Iâll try to stay vague but our social circles donât really intermingle and I donât think I know anyone on here in real life. I can barely remember specific moments or map together periods of time cohesively but Iâll try my best. I used bullet points on my notes app to try to organize the important parts. So if it reads weird or blocky, I apologize. Trying to post multiple places for multiple opinions.
I hate to admit that I think I 23/F still love my babyâs father 30/M. That may not even be true. Iâm hoping itâs just the drastic hormone changes after having a baby. I donât want to reconcile or get back together, I just want a genuine opinion from anyone that bothers to read the entire thing or advise from anyone that may have been in a similar situation. It was a very toxic and abusive relationship due to both parties. I toyed with his feelings until it was too late and he would drink and get physical. I was always accusing him of cheating or wanting to cheat because my ex had cheated. Meanwhile I was in fact projecting in a way because I was still messaging said ex. Ex and I were friends before we had dated and were together for 2 years. He had cheated on his other relationships so I should have seen it coming, but he ended up trying to cheat on me and I ended things. I was 19-20 at the time and joined tinder. Experimented a little but ended up hooking up with a guy that had a crush on me in HS. We only hooked up 2-3 times but it started getting weird and I chickened out. Then I got an apartment and a better job and started casually hooking up with the ex again. I think he had a gf at this time but I didnât ask. At the new job is where I met BD. He started a few weeks after me. I was 20 and he was 28 at the time. We started hanging out after work to smoke. Itâs not something I would normally do with just one person and he wasnât really my type. But the hangouts got longer and more frequent. And I ended up cutting the ex off again. A couple months in, I moved in way too soon because my roommate and I didnât get along. My ex would still message me occasionally for some reason. He definitely had a gf at this time. Some would be nudes. I didnât encourage the behavior but I also didnât discourage it. Bd saw the messages while we were on vacation and was understandably upset. I was upset with myself for responding. I justified it to myself by claiming I was trying to waste his time. In reality he was wasting mine and not suffering in the slightest. There couldnât have been a worse moment for him to find the messages. The week was supposed to be a huge step in our relationship and I could see how crushed he was. If I were him I would have left me in the hotel states away and gone home that morning. The whole ride home I was sick. I couldnât imagine how he was feeling, over something I so easily could have avoided and someone I had no interest in romantically or sexually anymore. I believe this is the first time Things got physical but as I said, the timeline is super blurry now. Regardless, if it was the first time, it shouldâve been the last. No one should put up with being hit. And No one should feel that their only option is to put their hands on someone. This was when we were finally getting back to his house in our own state. He had picked up a few beers before hand, and that was generally his fuel to either argue or get violent. He had slapped me, choked me and spit in my face, all to which I gave him no reaction. I just sat on the bed silently, or tried to lock myself in the bathroom. He would walk away to smoke a cigarette and immediately come back to fight some more. He told me to pack up my shit but got more pissed off when he came inside to see me packing up my shit. I eventually got a few things packed up and made it to my grandmasâs house. We both calmed down and after a few calls and texts. he wanted to see where I was staying. I picked him up and brought him to my grandmaâs house. (Note: I should probably add that right before we got together. He got in a car accident that totally totaled his car and got a DUI. Since then I had been his ride and always joked That thatâs all he kept me around for) We arrived at my grandmaâs house, where she had a guestroom ready for me. He just sat on the bed with his head down and cried. He said that it looked like it was so easy for me to move on without him. Looking back, this shouldâve been another red flag. All I had was a place to stay after being kicked out. He couldnât accept that I would land on my feet without him. Most of my belongings were still at his house, and I didnât want to burden my grandmother any further So I ended up going back with him. At this time I was still apologizing to him for what I had done and how I had made him react. One night after an argument, and a rough day in general. He walked out to grab a case of beer from the gas station and didnât come back for hours. When I finally went out looking for him, he was at the spot that we had first kissed. There He told me I was holding him back From what he envisioned for his future. It was a lot more drawn out, less cohesive and not so nice (he had been well into his beer by then) but that was the gist of it. One of my biggest fears is being a burden, or anyone holding some secret resentment towards me. Him drinking only let me know how he truly felt and how he wanted to react. I could never put the same effort into the relationship after that. I felt like it was already over and had been over for a long time. A while later, he had seen that my ex reached out again nothing flirtatious this time, but he was still upset, understandably. He got violent again, and I locked myself in the bathroom. He took my keys and my phone and said he was going to go find him. I packed up a few things again and tried to walk over to my dadâs house. His mission was futile and he ended up finding me walking and brought me back home. The whole night was tense and I didnât feel safe in the morning before he woke up. I started quietly packing up my things. He woke up and immediately flew into a rage and started dumping my things out onto the ground. I called my mom to help me get out all the big things because I wanted to be all out in one trip. As I was leaving, he was screaming at my mother and I about how much a piece of shit I was, but was right back to begging for me back as soon as I was down the road. This was a reoccurring cycle for us. Iâd always keep my phone and keys together in a designated spot in the house so I could get them quickly if I needed to leave. The ex no longer reached out, but we were both still suspicious of one another. Sometimes I would be gone for days sometimes weeks my belongings no longer came back because it didnât feel like home anymore. It didnât Feel like a safe or stable place for me. This also made him upset. Every time I would leave we would still text every day. It was an extremely toxic situation. During one period of time that i was gone He had one of our coworkers over for about a week sleeping in my bed with my cats. Throughout our entire relationship and our brakes I never met up with another person. I did leave so I didnât have the right to be too upset. But He wasted no time having her over for an extended period of time while still begging for me to come back every day. Then I had to coax this information out of him after finding her clothes all over the house. I couldnât get over the feeling that he had her and others lined up for when I was gone and him wanting me back meant nothing. By this time the dude I had gone to school/hooked up with had started at our job (This would seem like a cruel joke but we were in the same trade and this was one of the only decent jobs in our town.) I guess we had had a silent mutual agreement to keep out past between us because they became friends. Well, After finding out about his coworker, I told him about mine. It didnât matter that the dates didnât overlap. He went nutts. I donât remember exactly how it all went down after that, but I left of course and he ended up going to this 20 year olds apartment. His roommate answered and BD demanded to know where this dude was and ends up slapping the roommate. (I have no idea why I kept going back. Typing this out, I feel so stupid. He was clearly fucking crazy and my brain was telling me to get the fuck out.) I was already suspicious of him because of how we both acted before we got together, but all of this just made it so much worse. I wanted to know why he felt the need to intimidate me into staying with him and calling it âcrazy loveâ when he could so easily move on and leave me alone. (Why did infidelity have to be the dealbreaker and not everything else?) Bringing up my suspicions or insecurities, just made him defensive and occasionally violent. I never got any reassurance and my reasons for staying were few and far between. Then we found out I was pregnant. We found out when I was about seven weeks pregnant. The last time we had gotten into a physical fight I had been about 4 to 5 weeks pregnant. I was scared. Bd seemed happy. He said he wanted to be a family. Over the next few weeks, I was having extremely bad morning sickness I was in and out of the hospital on an IV for fluids and couldnât leave our bedroom or bathroom. I still had to drive him to and from work which was only about 30 min round trip but Iâd always have to stop on the side of the road to puke. (Note: There were five cats living in this house that I was Feeding and cleaning up after. We inherited two from the homeowner and three were ours) The house started to smell because I could no longer keep up with the cats, and this just made my morning sickness even worse. On top of this, I was having extremely bad back pain that I thought was just a symptom of pregnancy. After one of my trips to the hospital for fluids, they informed me that I had a UTI. I was about 10-11 weeks pregnant by then. I tried to tell him that I needed help with the house and that it was making me miserable. He just expressed that I would be complaining regardless. Whether it be about him spending enough time with me, helping clean, or working. This wasnât even the worst of the treatment that I had received, but being pregnant, This was the last straw. I knew I couldnât bring a baby into the abusive cycle that we were putting each other through. I donât remember exactly how it happened. At this point I was looking for any reason to leave. But it happened and again I started packing up my shit. This time he barely put up a fight. He tried to dump my stuff out on the floor once, but I said if he tried to put his hands on me, Iâd call the police this time. He sat in the kitchen on his phone until I was done packing. As I was carrying my belongings out to my car still weak and sick, we were screaming back-and-forth about how much we hated each other, and how I would never give him the chance to put his hands on my child. He shouted that he didnât think the baby was even his, to which I replied, âGood, then Iâll never have to fight you in courtâ. That was our last face to face interaction. I filed for a civil protection order. Itâs been about a year and since then, he has been claiming to his coworkers and his mother that my ex is the father. His mother doesnât seem to believe him as she had kept in contact with me throughout my pregnancy, and since the babyâs been born. She requests a paternity test just to be sure, but I have no doubts that the baby is his. I am almost positive that he knows the baby is his too. His claims of me cheating are only his way of justifying me leaving and making it my fault. I sent her the information to reach out for a paternity test, but she hasnât shown me any indication that he wants to be part of the babyâs life. Any time she brings up the situation to him, he gets angry with her and hangs up. I donât know whatâs going on in his life and I donât want to. Iâd only obsess over it and make myself upset if I did. I assume heâs living his dream and chasing his goals without me there to hold him back, especially with a child. Even after typing all this out and rereading and editing, I still miss him. I shouldnât. I canât tell if itâs the cycle calling me back or the drastic changes in hormones. I canât even think of a reason that I should miss him. I donât even think I miss him, just his presence or energy? Itâs so hard to explain and I donât want to feel this way. I have nightmares about trying to get away from him and out of the house but try to force myself back into the same dream just so I can see him. Is this normal? Do any other moms feel this way? Only attracted to the babyâs father even while split up? I have no sex drive when I used to be a fiend. I heard this can be a side-effect of the drastic hormone changes, but I donât even feel an attraction anymore. Unless theyâre a very specific type (My BD). I have no desire to move on or find a romantic connection. I do more harm than good and Iâd rather focus on being a mom (which Iâm loving aside from this issue).I know thereâs no way of going back even if I wanted to. The damage has been more than done. I just want to make moving on easier and forget him. Do I just have to wait?

2024.05.18 14:54 PorridgeCranium2 Top minds live in constant fear of the secret penis.
2024.05.18 14:45 viewfromthetrees The West's obsession with sex and objectification
TW: Talking about sex, objectification and topics around it
Whether it's objectifying a woman's body or a man's. For the height of a man, weight of a woman, slimness of a girl, affirming obesity, thick thighs, fat asses, petite girls, busty girls, sexualizing ethnicity, penis size. The west is obsessed with it
I moved to California about 7 years ago. Moved out after the seven years. The obsession of the culture with sex and money left me traumatized
I don't mean to be a prune. I'm not judging sex and the pleasure chasing people do. I'm just saying that I'm too sensitive for it all. I have sexual trauma, I also get hyper-sexual.. so I understand where the obsession comes from. It comes from repression, it comes from loneliness, it comes from neglect, it comes from anxiety, it comes from a culture who's media peddles sex and material for the sake of capitalism. A culture that eats itself and it's young. Commoditized it's population. Capitalism isn't wrong, it's just that.. Capitalism has become a higher virtue than being human and kind..
It's just that I feel dirty after my hyper-sexuality. It isn't healthy sexuality. It takes over my life and after I've satiated the impulses? It goes against who I am. I'm left hurt. It's self harm..
The culture pulls me into my shame. Applauds it. Tells me that my sickness is normal. Sexualizes my sickness. Tells me I need to identify with it and label myself as being my impulses.. pathologicizes it..
It's a shame because I feel like I belong in the culture when it isn't so radical. When I'm with my friends on the beach eating some ice cream. But it's everywhere. I can't escape it. America is so indoctrinated. America is a self harm culture. Where the pleasure is cut with pain. We all dive into icy waters..
When I'm in the thick of it. I don't know how to see the culture as the thongs that is sick. I blame myself as being not normal. That I should indeed be tall man with a gigantic penis (or) a woman with a thigh gap with blonde hair and long legs. That my worth is indeed defined by what my body is..
Societally, I am attractive and confident. enough. But I can't look past a culture that will only affirm me if I'm the way it wants to use me. I want to be seen as whole. For my physical body AND who I am. Without labels. I'm just me..
I'll know love when I find it... Love will see me. Love will see my body. Love won't label me. Love will look and me and think.. "Hey it's xxxxxx". And that will be the end of it

2024.05.18 14:38 lory_ana Surprised BF with EC tix, and met Nico & Daniel!
| Never really got exposed to metalcore or Electric Callboy before dating my boyfriend. But then he showed me some music vids, and I was thinking they're a fun group. Super coincidentally they were touring Toronto... on his birthday!! I hatched a plan for months, pretending I wasn't that interested, listening to EC in secret familiarizing myself with the music, got tickets in secret, and he eventually forgot entirely about the concert happening. On the day of, we went to a restaurant before the concert, bf still oblivious. I saw some people with Electric Callboy gear (they turned out to be Nico & Dan and some of their crew) and was so paranoid he'd seen them and it would ruin the surprise. Once outside he said "I swear that was the guitarist from Electric Callboy." ...even then he didn't connect the dots. (He later told me he thought it was just pure coincidence they were in Toronto...) So I finally revealed the tickets. Went in again and said hi, my bf told them in German that I bought tix for them for his birthday. Once outside again we even snapped photos with them! They were super nice :D And man the whole show was a BLAST! We had so much fun. Morning after, everything that happened just seems like a dream. submitted by lory_ana to ElectricCallboy [link] [comments] |
2024.05.18 14:37 Electrical_Court8451 My (26 M) girlfriend (29 F) said she felt violated by me. How to help her and save the relationship?
Hi everyone, I need some advice on how to navigate this. I am 26 years old man and I am in a relationship with my girlfriend who is 29 years old since two years. I'm really happy with her most of the times, but we also had very hard times because of her mental health and her trauma from the past relationships (SA, abuse ect) I will tell you now the story of how my girlfriend told me that she felt violated during one sexual intercourse between me and her A few weeks ago, I initiated sex. It is important to say that me and my GF are very sexually active. She's the one who often initiates sex and for me it's okay. We don't ask for consent, and we don't have any safe words, because if one of our starts, and the other one generally is not in the mood we voice ourselves by saying "I'm not in the mood. I don't feel good" and the other one stops without trying to convince the other one, because we respect each other. In general, I am a guy who is very attentive and pays attention to her needs, and always ask if she's okay or if im hurting her during the act, cause she had many traumas and i want to be sure she is ok, and no I don't want to be seen as a special guy, just because l'm a Man who respects his woman or women in general. However, a few weeks ago, l initiated sex by undressing my girlfriend, she didn't say anything. She just let me do it as usually this is how we start sex normally. I then startd to kiss her lower stomach and she said something like "babe, what are you doing? I'm a bit dirty" For me. I meant that she didn't want me to go down on her. So of course I stopped and I went on top of her to slowly start to have PIV sex. she interrupted me by saying something like interrupted me by saying something like "babe can I kiss you down there or can I give you a blow job , which she normally always does before we do PIV. But this time I said," no baby I just want to feel you." So i Slowly tried to do PIV sex with her. Because she is sometimes a bit dry, so I always get in slowly. When I was inside, i was on top of her and I was moving. I noticed that she was quiet which is really unusual and not moving particularly much. So I stopped I looked at her and asked " Babe are you okay? You didn't want it right?" She replied to me something like "of course, Babe keep going or keep moving" something like that Which I did, and after a few seconds, she started to participate and to ask me to come or to finish which I did, and afterwards I cuddled her and asked if everything was fine and if she was okay like I always do after sex. She seemed fine for a bit, but after a few hours, she said something like "because of you it hurts down there" which of course offended me a bit because I was like wtf why would you say something like that and she shrugged off and acted like nothing. After one day I noticed that she was acting weird around me. She didn't want to be hugged and when we cuddled she was like a bit cold. After a while she asked me if we could talk and she begged me to not get mad at her. I said, of course you can always talk about everything with me She started crying, and she said that during sex the day before she felt violated because she was not in the mood and I didn't acknowledge that immediately and that she didn't want to say that because she was afraid i got mad. Just to be precise I never got mad at her for not wanting sex. Of course, my reaction was not one of the best. I felt like a brick hit me. I felt something I cannot explain. I said something " do you understand what you're saying right now?" We didn't have a real fight, but we talked a lot and she was crying and said I'm "not accusing you of something I'm just saying that I felt violated. " i can understand her but also how can I? When i literally asked if she was okay and she said yes keep going and then she said i violated her? For me, I felt like I would never be able to touch her again, so we talked and decided that it would be better to end the relationship for the both of us. A few days before we had a horrible fight again and before that again, so after this one, I was not ready to stay in the relationship anymore. even though I love her with all of my heart.
However, she stayed in my house a few days more in which I slept on the couch because of course I wouldn't sleep in a bed with her again after everything that happened. One night, she asked me to stay with her though and I did. We kissed but then I turn around and said I will sleep here but please let's not touch." She asked me why I will not touch her, and I said crying because I feel like a rapist even though I am not" after that we went to sleep and she started to hug me and slowly touch me in a way that got me horny, but of course I didn't react to the point where she started to undress me and then I reacted and we had sex. After that, we slowly found a way to each other again. We had sex many times in which, now, of course, I pay more attention to her body language and ask multiple times if she's fine. But everything has been going great. We went together to Mexico, she had my family and everything was great. Now yesterday, my girlfriend talked again about that one episode, and she said that she's been obsessing about the fact that maybe she's forgiven me the fact that I raped her. My girlfriend has OCD, so she obsess about things. She doesn't want to break up with me, but she said that this thoughts are killing her and making her uncomfortable around me sometimes. I thought that we got over it, so the fact that she brought it up again, destroyed, my mental health completely . However, I don't want to lose her and I don't want to leave but the thought that she thinks that I am a rapist kills me. She has started therapy for OCD and trauma now and I think I will also join her soon for some couple therapy sessions. But I would still like some advice from some women that had the same situation as her or some men who had the same situation as me thank you.

2024.05.18 14:36 PhraseKind8402 Iâm dating my ex brother in law by marriage ( we are not blood related)
I (F30) have been dating a man (38) for 6 months⊠the thing is that we were once sort of related by marriage. Weâve both been divorced for 3 and 5 years respectively.
He was married to my ex husbands sister. Essentially our ex partners are brother and sister and our children are first cousins. I am not blood related to his children nor is he blood related to my children. We are not in any way related.
We have kept our relationship a secret from our ex partners and when we were in our previous relationships we never had eyes for each other. We never looked at each other in a sexual manner because he was sort of my brother in law and I was his sister in law by marriage.
Our relationship has been amazing and he is kind, generous and understanding. We actually really love each other.
Am I the a-hole for loving this man? Is he the a-hole for loving me?

2024.05.18 14:23 Electrical_Court8451 My girlfriend said she felt violated by me, i feel devastated, how can we navigate this? TW
Hi everyone, I need some advice on how to navigate this. I am 26 years old man and I am in a relationship with my girlfriend who is 29 years old since two years. Iâm really happy with her most of the times, but we also had very hard times because of her mental health and her trauma from the past relationships ( SA, abuse ect)
I will tell you now the story of how my girlfriend told me that she felt violated during one sexual intercourse between me and her
A few weeks ago, I initiated sex. It is important to say that me and my GF are very sexually active. Sheâs the one who often initiates sex and for me itâs okay. We donât ask for consent, and we donât have any safe words, because if one of our starts, and the other one generally is not in the mood we voice ourselves by saying âIâm not in the mood. I donât feel goodâ and the other one stops without trying to convince the other one, because we respect each other. In general, I am a guy who is very attentive and pays attention to her needs, and always ask if sheâs okay or if im hurting her during the act, cause she had many traumas and i want to be sure she is ok, and no I donât want to be seen as a special guy, just because Iâm a Man who respects his woman or women in general.
However, a few weeks ago, I initiated sex by undressing my girlfriend, she didnât say anything. She just let me do it as usually this is how we start sex normally . I then startd to kiss her lower stomach and she said something like âbabe, what are you doing? Iâm a bit dirtyâ For me. I meant that she didnât want me to go down on her. So of course I stopped and I went on top of her to slowly start to have PIV sex. she interrupted me by saying something like interrupted me by saying something like âbabe can I kiss you down thereâ or can I give you a blow jobâ something like this. I said,â no baby I just want to feel you.â Slowly tried to do PIV sex with her. Because she is sometimes a bit dry, so I always get in slowly. When I was inside, I was on top of her and I was moving. I noticed that she was quiet which is really unusual and not moving particularly much. So I stopped I looked at her and asked â Babe are you okay? You didnât want it right? â She replied to me something like âof course, Babe keep going or keep movingâ something like that Which I did, and after a few seconds, she started to participate in to ask me to come or to finish which I did, and afterwards I cuddled her and asked if everything was fine and if she was okay like I always do after sex . She seemed fine for a bit, but after a few hours, she said something like âbecause of you it hurts down thereâ which of course offended me a bit because I was like wtf why would you say something like that and she shrugged off and acted like nothing. After one day I noticed that she was acting weird around me. She didnât want to be hugged and when we cuddled she was like a bit cold. After while she asked me if we could talk and she begged me to not get mad at her. I said, of course you can always talk about everything with me
She started crying, and she said that during sex the day before she felt violated because she was not in the mood and I didnât acknowledge that immediately and that she didnât want to say that because she was afraid i got mad. Just to be precise I never got mad at her for not wanting sex.
Of course, my reaction was not one of the best. I felt like a brick hit me. I felt something I cannot explain. I said something â do you understand what youâre saying right now?â We didnât have a real fight, but we talked a lot and she was crying and said Iâm ânot accusing you of something Iâm just saying that I felt violated. â i can understand her but also how can I ? When i literally asked if she was okay and she said yes keep going and then she said i violated her?
For me, I felt like I would never be able to touch her again, so we talked and decided that it would be better to end the relationship for the both of us. A few days before we had a horrible fight again and before that again, so after this one, I was not ready to stay in the relationship anymore, even though I love her with all of my heart.
However, she stayed in my house a few days more in which I slept on the couch because of course I wouldnât sleep in a bed with her again after everything that happened. One night, she asked me to stay with her though and I did. We kissed but then I turn around and said I will sleep here but please letâs not touch.â She asked me why I will not touch her, and I said crying because I feel like a rapist even though I am notâ after that we went to sleep and she started to hug me and slowly touch me in a way that got me horny, but of course I didnât react to the point where she started to undress me and then I reacted and we had sex. After that, we slowly found a way to each other again. We had sex many times in which, now, of course, I pay more attention to her body language and ask multiple times if sheâs fine. But everything has been going great. We went together to Mexico, she had my family and everything was great.
Now yesterday, my girlfriend talked again about that one episode, and she said that sheâs been obsessing about the fact that maybe sheâs forgiven me the fact that I raped her. My girlfriend has OCD, so she obsess about things. She doesnât want to break up with me, but she said that this thoughts are killing her and making her uncomfortable around me sometimes.

2024.05.18 14:17 tomesandtea [Discussion] Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey Chapters 34-40 (The Expanse Book #1)
Welcome to our fifth discussion of Leviathan Wakes. Hold onto your cool detective hats or your environment suits, because we finally get some answers to our mystery! This week, we will discuss Chapters 34-40. The Marginalia post is
here. You can find the Schedule
here.
The discussion questions are below. One note - this is a very popular book series and TV show, but please keep in mind that not everyone has read or watched already, so be mindful not to include anything that could be a hint or a spoiler! Please mark spoilers not related to this section of the book using the format > ! Spoiler text here !< (without any spaces between the characters themselves or between the characters and the first and last words).
Now brace yourselves: here comes the juice!
Chapter Summaries: Chapter 34 - Miller: Detective Miller and the crew of the Roci board the hidden ship (the one that captured the crew of the
Scopuli before destroying it), wearing environment suits because the ship has no atmosphere - someone left the doors open. They stick together at first as they move through the ship, discovering signs of a struggle, zombie vomit, and twelve torpedo tubes big enough to destroy capital ships like the
Donnager or the
Canterbury. Miller uses his detective skills to determine that everyone but Julie retreated to engineering. Once there, they discover a truly grisly sight: layers of human flesh and bones are sort of fused around the reactor, which has been shut down. Naomi and Holden gasp in shock and disgust, Miller turns on his cop brain to suppress emotion and view it as a crime scene, and Amos seems⊠calm and able to ignore the gore. The team splits up to look for more clues.
Amos stays in engineering to start up the computers and get the reactor back online. Naomi works on the ops deck to run diagnostics. Miller and Holden head to the bridge, which wasnât affected by the fighting onboard. Miller reviews the internal feeds and finds footage showing the captured
Scopuli crew being led onto the ship, stripped, and put in restraints. Julie fights back viciously but is knocked unconscious and stuffed in a locker with a jumpsuit (which is where we met her in the prologue). The crew is left in the galley for 132 hours before they decide to make a stand, but it is quickly suppressed. One of the crew is thrown out an airlock and the others are heavily restrained as they scream and cry. Just as Miller gets to the first appearance of a vomit zombie (at hour 160 of footage), Amos yells that heâs been exposed to some radiation because the human flesh blob had damaged the reactor shielding. He decides to keep working while Alex monitors his health status from the Roci.
Then Holden calls Miller over to view one of the last feeds Julie accessed. Itâs a corporate presentation video created for a man named Dresden and the board of Protogen. It features a man Miller dubs âthe sociopathâ because of his cold, practiced smileâŠand because of the content. The sociopath tells the board (and us) the history of scientific discovery on
Phoebe, which was thought to just be a moon and a source of water, but became a research station when a survey found complex silicon structures in the ice. Protogen was tasked with investigating and discovered that Phoebe is not a moon but evidence of a galactic biosphere: it is an
alien weapon sent towards Earth 2 â
billion years ago, which never made it because of orbital mechanics. Protogen has discovered that this weapon is not alive per se; rather, it is something theyâve termed the âprotomoleculeâ which has the ability to maintain structure while replicating other systems and manipulating them at scalable rates. Of course, they alerted the proper authorities and made sure⊠just kidding, theyâve secretly been doing tests. The sociopath believes that whoever controls the protomolecule will gain control of all political and economic power going forward. Chillingly, the sociopath urges them to pursue large-scale testing to understand the protomolecule and its
human applications. That large-scale testing is Eros.
TL;DR - Julie found evidence that Protogen (her dadâs company) has discovered an alien weapon, branded it the âprotomoleculeâ, and secretly tested it on the people of Eros (and probably other smaller tests). The entire war has just been a distraction.
Chapter 35 - Holden: Naomi explains that most of the messages on the comm logs have been coded, but the last one is in plain text: the captain informed Thoth Station that the ship was contaminated, everyone was about to die, and the âmaterialsâ had been secured. He also planned to send vector data so they could find the ship. The Roci crew put two and alien-symbol-for-two together: they figure out that the captain has locked protomolecule samples in his safe. They also decide that the tightbeam messages were being sent to a secret research station Protogen was using to monitor the Eros experiment. Even though the fact
âNaomi is the bestâ is a proven concept on par with â
space is coldâ, she is NOT able to open the captainâs safe, so they decide to cut it out of the wall and bring it with them on the Roci. They also scuttle the ship so no one can a) recover the stealth technology and alien weapons, or b) get exposed to the protomolecule-human soup inside. (Amos would have preferred to hack the frozen dead body goo off the reactor with a chainsaw and salvage such an impressive and expensive ship, which is⊠another way to go.)
Itâs clear that someone else with stealth tech is searching actively for this ship, but the Roci wonât see them coming so they decide to
get the hell out of Dodge. Naomi jokes that their options include turning the safe over to the OPA (theyâd be heroes), selling out to Mars (theyâd be rich), or starting their own biotech firm (just kidding, thatâs evil). When Miller checks in with Holden about a decision on where to go next, he drops a figurative bomb on him regarding actual bombs in the news. Since Holden did his best
Edward Snowden impersonation and leaked the data that the mystery ships are from Earth, Mars asked a few too many questions and in response, Earth has blown up a whole bunch of Martian ships and destroyed the Deimos deep radar station. Miller ruefully gives Holden credit for sticking to his guns about his belief in âfree informationâ. He also points out that Holdenâs principles make him responsible for all those deaths and the destruction of the Earth-Mars Coalition⊠and possibly the universe as they know it.
Chapter 36 - Miller: The war between Mars and the Belt seems like no big deal now that Earth and Mars are fighting. Miller watches the news feeds as the conflict turns into a blockade, and he realizes he is steeling himself for an announcement of a planetary attack on Earth or Mars, but it never comes. He and Amos deal with the stress by having beer for breakfast.
Miller meets up with Holden in the med bay for their routine blood flushes and cancer treatments, and they reopen their debate about what to do with the data files and who is to blame for the war(s).
- Holdenâs position: Broadcast everything to everyone! (I know, I know, so out of character, right?) People will understand that theyâve been set up and will turn their wrath on Protogen instead of each other. Also, these are ancient conflicts. The Belt has always hated Mars and the inner planets in general. Mars and Earth have always had animosities secretly brewing and they do military training for the inevitable showdown. Or as Miller puts it, âNot my powder keg; I just brought the match.â
- Millerâs position: Stop and consider what people will do if they hear an Earth company did this. Every other data leak has been used as an excuse to shoot at someone the other side doesnât like. Also, people suck. They arenât going to hold hands and sing Kumbaya just because Protogen is the bad guy. Theyâll move on to shooting each other so they can be the ones to control the protomolecule. Or as Holden puts it, âMaybe Protogen is a little right. People are too dumb to be trusted with big information so we should keep hard, scary stuff a big secret. Thatâll totally work out.â
Holdenâs idealism starts to fade as he takes in Millerâs hard truths about humanity. To be fair, Miller loses a little idealism over his perceptions of the inner planetsâ relationship which, to the Belt, seemed stable and friendly enough (and united against them). Miller encourages Holden to use Naomiâs judgment as a measuring stick for whether something is right (similar to how he uses illusion-Julie as his conscience and sounding board) and then he goes back to the news feeds to watch Ceres slowly collapse into chaos. Holden decides the only person and place he trusts - or at least doesnât completely distrust - is Fred Johnson on Tycho Station, so they head there. Holden also wonders why they donât just destroy the safe and make sure everyone stays away from Eros and Phoebe; Miller admits itâs because the protomolecule might just be
the holy grail.
Chapter 37 - Holden: The crew of the Roci is taking a break from doom scrolling to cook fake space lasagna for dinner and bond over the food and conversation. As Holden watches the crew laugh at Amosâs belches and Millerâs wild story about cheese smuggling, he reflects that they represent all three prongs of the conflict: Naomi and Miller are Belters, Amos and he are from Earth, and Alex is from Mars. Yet theyâre friends, and Holden knows this is what they have to fight for. The cheese smuggling makes no sense to Amos (why cheese and not drugs?), and Naomi points out that this illustrates how little people from the inner planets understand Belters. Earthers have free air and easy access to resources, while Belters know everything that sustains life is rare and their access to it is fragile. And this is why Protogen didnât blink an eye before killing 1.5 million Belters on Eros: theyâre âotherâ. Then Alex points out that this doesnât make sense; it's a risky and unnecessarily complicated way to kill people just to satisfy prejudices. It becomes clear that Eros isnât a hate crime, itâs a vacuum-sealed test tube to let the protomolecule learn how to do its job better by giving it access to a huge amount of biomass. The early transformations looked incomplete, as if it didnât know how to work with human flesh yet, so Protogen was giving it a chance to train. Holden wants to know where they would even find enough people who would support an evil operation like this, and Miller promises to ask Dresden (the Protogen board member mentioned in the video) when they meet him. Something tells me that conversation wonât go well.
As the Roci approaches Tycho station, Holden and Miller take in the view of the Nauvoo, the partially constructed Mormon generation ship. When Miller says the Mormans may be in for a long and lonely death if they donât find a habitable planet, Holden notes that this is the good kind of galactic exploration humans can accomplish (the protomolecule being the bad kind). Miller then asks Holden why he trusts Fred, and Holden explains that in addition to being the only person who hasnât tried to jail them or blow them up since all this began, Fred is âreal OPAâ: heâs a politician and not part of the war-mongering factions who think they can survive indefinitely without the inner planets. When Miller points out that there isnât a political solution to Protogen, Holden insists Fred has other skills, too. Later, Fred reads through all the information on the protomolecule and is incredulous that anyone could think to do this. Miller assures him that genocide is an old-school crime and itâs important that they stop it. Holden offers up the location of the observation station in exchange for enough OPA fighters to take down Protogen, and the right to retain custody of the safe and its contents. Fred agrees only after Holden points out that no one else can be trusted to do the right thing with a secret this big. Plus, he says Fred already knows what Holden will do with it.
Chapter 38 - Miller: It feels strange to Miller to explore the wide open spaces of Tycho Station, the fanciest place he has ever set foot on. He notices Naomi working on her hand terminal and letting her food get cold; she is too preoccupied with trying to figure out the location of the station to enjoy the amenities. As they talk, Miller is reminded of Havelockâs advice to just let go when he got pulled off a case, which jogs his memory that Havelock actually works for Protogen! (Iâm surprised he didnât get there faster; maybe everyone had a point that he was sort of a washed up detective.) He rushes off to make contact with his old buddy - probably his last real partner ever - in an encrypted drop site of a Ganymede server cluster. As he waits for a response, Miller is amused to realize he has started thinking like Holden: he feels like someone should warn the Mormans that they could potentially run into the alien creators of the protomolecule who may want to kill them. Havelock comes through, passing along the coordinates to a âvery scary deep research and development labâ and asking Miller to
be discreet never contact him again so he doesnât get killed for betraying his employer. Miller sends him an encrypted warning to quit his job ASAP and not take postings at any black ops sites, before saying goodbye for the last time to the only person that still respected him as a cop.
(I may or may not be sniffling a bit at this.) Miller rounds up Naomi and Holden so they can bring Fred the coordinates. In Fredâs office, Miller starts lecturing him about the serious nature of the mission and the need to have a solid plan with adequate firepower, not the usual OPA shenanigans. Everyoneâs a little confused until they realize that Miller doesnât know that Fred is âthe butcher of Anderson Stationâ and a former Colonel in the Earth Navy. Fred assures Miller heâs no amateur and will plan ahead. Miller then insists that he get to come along for the assault on Thoth Station. Eight days later, the plan is set in motion and Miller begins packing his meager belongings into a very small bag, figuring heâll never see the Roci again. Even if he makes it off Thoth alive, heâll have to figure out a way to make money and improvise a life plan of some sort. He tries to thank Holden and say goodbye, but the Rociâs captain interrupts Miller to ask where theyâll all meet up after the mission is complete. Miller is confused at first, then overcome with emotion when he realizes Holden considers Miller part of the crew! Iâm not crying, youâre crying. Actually, itâs Miller who is weeping. But he pulls himself together so he can head to the assault ship.
Chapter 39 - Holden: The Rocinante needs to sneak up on Thoth Station, so they are pretending to be a loose cargo container that broke off the
Guy Molinari (the Belter ship carrying the assault team, which is pretending to be a cargo ship). They fly with everything shut down so that itâs more convincing, hoping they can get close enough to the station to do some damage before Thoth starts firing back. As they approach and are able to reboot everything needed for battle, a stealth ship is spied hanging out near Thoth Station. Then, suddenly it becomes clear that there are two small stealth ships, which will be much harder to fight off. Everyone does their jobs efficiently on the Roci, but in the ensuing battle with the stealth ships, they start to take some damage. First, the Roci is hit by a gauss cannon that goes straight through the machine shop and galley. Holden mourns his coffee maker. Amos notices a leak in the maneuvering thrusters and heads to fix it between the inner and outer hulls, which isnât an ideal place to be floating around during a battle. This stresses Naomi out, but Holden orders everyone to stay focused. They are able to take out one of the stealth ships, but the other gets close enough to do some impressive damage to the Roci. There is major hull damage as well as loss of four maneuvering thrusters, a PDC, their O2 storage, and the crew airlock. Alex is about to destroy the second stealth ship when the Rociâs point defense cannons (PDCs) detonate an enemy warhead up close. It knocks everyone out, punches holes throughout the Roci (narrowly missing Naomi), dislodges equipment, and fills the ship with debris. Holden marvels that they are alive at all, and Alex points out that is only because the shipâs anti-spalling webbing eliminates shrapnel. They make contact with Fred, who says heâll find them a place to land, and the
Guy Molinari prepares for the assault on Thoth Station. Itâs Millerâs turn to shine!
Chapter 40 - Miller: On the
Guy Molinari, Miller is talking to a Belter kid named Diogo as they wait for the assault to start. Miller realizes that while he has fancy Martian armor from the Roci and experience with gunfights in station corridors, he is surrounded by inexperienced young Belters with borrowed gear, and he will likely have to watch dozens of them die during the battle. But Diogo isnât worried; he is confident and eager to get started. Fred announces that they are ready to start boarding since the Roci gave them the âall clearâ, and Miller is happy to hear his friends have survived. The assault on the station starts off rough, with Protogen soldiers fighting them in the corridors and automatic defense lasers taking out some of the Belters in the first wave. But Fred knows how to command his OPA âtroopsâ and keep them in line, and things start to go more smoothly as they slow down and maneuver carefully. Miller and Diogo are part of a group taking shelter at Fredâs direction and fending off Protogen counterattacks, and they start to talk during a lull. When two Protogen soldiers sneak up on them from behind, Diogo is hit and Miller chastises himself for chatting during a battle and not staying alert. He thinks Diogo is dead, but he pops up laughing and streaked with white goo from crowd suppression rounds, which Miller finds an odd choice of weapon. Itâs the first sign that Thoth Station may not totally understand whatâs happening. The OPA soldiers cut their way through the blast doors to get to the operations center, where they find Dresden (the dude mentioned in the sociopathâs Protogen video). Fred arrives to take command of the station, and Dresden offers to negotiate, clearly misunderstanding the reason for the assault. He offers to give the OPA whatever resources they need to go back to fighting their war (money, medical supplies, weapons, ordnance) if theyâll just leave and let the station get back to their very important work. Fred points out that they know about Eros, but Dresden insists no one knows what they did there, and there wonât be a better bargaining position for Fred when Earth sends its battleships. Fred basically calls Dresden
Satan, but Dresden doesnât understand the reference.

2024.05.18 14:02 HeLiKoPtErrrrrrrr If John was still alive
If John was still alive, his voice would echo deep, In songs of loss and longing, where dreams and sorrows sleep. "Imagine" all the people, in a world still torn apart, With every note a healing balm, for every aching heart.
"Come Together," he'd implore, in melodies so blue, "Across the Universe," his words would ring so true. In "Strawberry Fields" of memory, where peace is still a fight, His gentle songs would guide us through the darkest night.
"Norwegian Wood" would whisper, secrets of the past, While "Nowhere Man" would wander, finding peace at last. With "Jealous Guy" he'd show us, the pain of human flaw, Yet "Love" would be his legacy, the truest thing we saw.
"Give Peace a Chance," he'd sing, a plea both sad and wise, For even in our struggles, hope would never die. If John was still alive, his music's mournful grace, Would lead us toward a brighter, more compassionate embrace.

2024.05.18 14:00 Beautiful_Result1378 Husband suffering mental illness or is this abuse?
Me (29 F) and my husband (29M) have been married for five years. We have a three year old child. We have been together since 2016, and have always had an easy and happy relationship.
The last year he moved down into the basement and was spending all of his time smoking pot and playing video games. I also found out during this time he was purchasing pornography from a woman we know. He had stopped caring for his hygiene and had tell tale signs of depression. Throughout, I encouraged him to get therapy and see a doctor as gently as I could. In January he told me he didnât love me and didnât want to be married. Then he asked for couples counseling. I made us an appointment and we started going. During this time he would frequently scream in my face, tell me he doesnât love me because he just wants dirty, kinky sex, and would punch and throw things.
He would say he had to get high and purchase only fans content because I wasnât kinky enoughâwhen really, he had never had an open discussion with me about his desires. He says I was âneglectingâ him.
My response to him is that marriage is a compromise. Throughout therapy he had shared some of his desires with me, and made me feel like if I didnât fulfill them he would leave me. I was open to exploration but told him i was uncomfortable with some things (having a threesome with his female friend, hitting, etc)
During one of the times he argued with me, he told me he had considered trying a relationship with his female friend that he wanted to include in our bedroom. I told him I wasnât really comfortable with their relationship following that.
Things get a little better, then he spends Motherâs Day screaming at me. (Last year he forgot, and so this year I had said I was a little nervous. He screamed because he says heâs been working to improve his mental health and I should have trusted him to remember)
So this week I distanced myself. I then caught him snap chatting with that same female friend he had mentioned having the threesome with about our marital struggles. He says he sees no problem, because he is allowed to vent. I asked him why he would do that, right in front of me. He said âwell it got you to talk to me, didnât it?â
I stormed off to my moms house, and they ended up having a phone call. During which he told my mom about the sexual experiences we had shared using vulgar terminology and he yelled at her.
We spoke again later that day and he promised to never yell at me again.
He has been trying out different antidepressants for the last few months. And none of this seems like the man I married. Could I chalk it up to some kind of mental disorder and should I stick it out? Or has my sweet husband become an abuser?

2024.05.18 13:59 Yurii_S_Kh The Icon of the Most Holy Mother of God, âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ
| A wonderful healing has been given to us through your holy icon, O Sovereign Lady Theotokos. By its appearance we have been delivered from spiritual and physical ills, and from sorrowful circumstances. We therefore offer our thankful praise to you, O merciful Protectress. From the akathist to the Icon of the Mother of God, âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ wonderworking icon of the Holy Theotokos The excellent Russian author Ivan Sergeyevich Shmelev (1873-1950) who wrote much about everyday life of pious Orthodox people of the pre-Revolution Russia, described, among other things, the veneration of the wonderworking Icon of the Mother of God âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ which appeared in 1878 in Serpukhov (a town some 100 kilometers/c.62 miles south of Moscow) and kept at Vladychny Convent of the Entry of the Mother of God into the Temple. This is an extract from that work: ââŠPeasant wagons move towards the convent along forest tracks. Exhausted women bring their near and dear from hundreds of miles away: raving, yelling with savage voices, men of bestial appearance try to release themselves from ropes. âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ heals the disease of drunkenness. Those who have lost their human appearance gaze at the indescribable Icon with their maddened eyes, not understanding What and Who She isâShe Who radiantly looks at them with a golden chalice, bright, and drawing them to Herselfâand they calm down. And while quiet young girls in white headscarves carry it and sing with joyful voices, thousands of those whose souls suffer and seek consolation fall down beneath it to the dirty ground. Unseeing, inflamed eyes stare at the bright icon with wild looks and cry excitedly, âI give up alcoholism (I promise to give up)!â Hysterical women writhe and utter curses, tearing their blouses⊠and in excitement fix their gaze on the eyes that draw attention to themselves. Betrothed couples come and hang pink ribbonsâan earnest of happiness. Young mothers bring their first-born children, and the icon looks joyfully at them. What draws all of them to her nobody can explainâno one has found the words to express their inward feelings. I only feel that joy enters the soul.â In his marvelous story with the same name Shmelev told one of the legends associated with âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ Icon, according to which a serf master named Ilia had painted this icon. The official history is silent about this, but it is this story that the wonderworking icon owes its fame, though, first of all, it is its miraculous power to heal alcoholism. In our troubled times, as it was a century ago, hundreds and thousands of people are flocking to Serpukhov and praying for healing. The gifts of the Christians who were healed from this sickness, their children and other family members, with which the pedestal of the icon is covered, are more precious than all golden settings. Today pilgrims are spreading the healing oil from icon lamps of the wonderworking icon along with the water which is blessed during prayer services all over Russia. Monasteries and convents from time immemorial were sources of that holy and mysterious peace, which every suffering Christian soul always sought after. Such was the Vladychny monastic community of the Entry of the Mother of God into the Temple in Serpukhov, which was founded in 1360 at the border of then the Principality of Moscow, at the confluence of the rivers Nara and Oka. The latter river was called âthe belt of the Mother of Godâ because it separated and protected Holy Rusâ from the wild steppe, âamid a pine grove and mansion-like red wood.â From the first days of its existence the invisible streams of grace spread from here to all parts of Russia. Initially it was a monastery for men, established during the abbacy of Venerable Varlaam, a former assistant of the Holy Metropolitan Alexis of Moscow. It was also under the spiritual care of St. Sergius of Radonezh. The chronicles relate that the great Abbot of the Russian Land (that is, St. Sergius) came here at the beginning of winter 1374 together with his disciple, Venerable Athanasius, and prayed at the cathedral of Vladychny Monastery, built of white stone. The legend of the foundation of this monastery also mentions a miraculous apparition of the Most Pure Virgin to Venerable Varlaam: âThe vision showed to the builder that even angels would help him in his labors of building the church and preserve the monastery, that the Queen of Heaven Herself would dwell in this church as She had been present in the Temple of Jerusalem.â And several centuries later this promise was fully fulfilled. https://preview.redd.it/pslfjrwjc61d1.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=759417630476ce25db6a52ba256aaff626a4360e By the end of the eighteenth century Vladychny Monastery was declining and decaying. The services all but stopped, the scanty brethren dispersed, and the churches were falling into ruin. However, Metropolitan Platon (Levshin; 1737-1812) of Moscow, through whose efforts the spiritual prosperity of the great Optina and other monasteries began, did not forget Vladychny Monastery eitherâit was near this monastery that he had spent his childhood. The metropolitan obtained the permission of emperor Alexander I (1777-1825) to re-establish this monastic community as a nunnery and in 1806 first nuns came to live there. A quarter of a century later, another great archpastor, Holy Hierarch Philaret (Drozdov; 1782-1867) of Moscow introduced the strict ancient rules of desert community life into the convent. Thus he restored the spirit of monastic disdain for riches (ânestyazhanyeâ â ânon-acquisitivenessâ in Russian) and providentially prepared the convent to receive such a holy shrine as âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ Icon. In the first year of the abbacy of Abbess Maria, namely in 1878, a peasant of the Tula provinceâa retired soldier who had a passion for alcohol for many yearsâin a vision saw a certain elder who commanded him to go to Serpukhov, to find the Icon âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ and to hold the a supplicatory prayer service before it. The old, penniless soldier, exhausted by his hard drinking, had absolutely no strength to go to Serpukhov. Soon the vision occurred again and the poor elderly soldier literally crawled to the convent on all fours. On the very first night of his ascetic journey the man suddenly felt that his legs began to obey him again. Reaching the convent, he put its nuns to confusion as they knew nothing of the icon with this name. Then they remembered that an icon hung in one of the convent passages: on it the Infant Christ blesses the worshippers as if coming from a chalice for Communion; behind Him the Mother of God raises Her most pure handsâin the same manner as on icons of âThe Signâ. Everybody was greatly amazed when they saw the inscription âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ on the back of the icon! Remarkably, when the man came up to the shrine of St. Varlaam, he at once recognized in him the holy elder who had appeared to him in the vision and commanded to go to the Mother of God for healing from alcoholism. The news of the wondrous miracle rapidly spread over many towns and villages: from everywhere those possessed with this terrible passion flocked to the miracle-working icon, venerated âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ and gave up drinking; thus peace and quiet began to reign in their homesâand all this was through the prayers of the Protectress of the mankind. https://preview.redd.it/cptdyktnc61d1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=bfd087f0555dfebacb18c1cbd4778fc2c13b920d The tradition of this miracle-working icon explains that, âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ is, according to the akathist, âthe one who draws up joy from the source of immortality,â the source of consolation, healing, life and various spiritual gifts and happiness. And let everybody see the hidden spiritual meaning in the fact that âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ Icon became a source of saving hopes and cures from the wicked passion of alcoholism: the Mother of God is praying for every single sinner; She, the merciful one, knows the suffering of those who give themselves over to debauchery, knows how strong is the desire of many of them to rid themselves of this brutal vice, but cannot find strength to struggle. So the Most Pure Virgin reminds them through Her holy Icon âThe Inexhaustible Cupâ that She is the inexhaustible wellspring of grace and spiritual joy, that She pours out from Her ever-inexhaustible cup heavenly delight into their withered hearts; drinking of it, they will begin to hate that ruinous liquid which once invincibly attracted them to itself. Such sufferers at any time and in every place should resort to the all-powerful intercession of the Most Pure Virgin, making it the rule to read the angelic salutation, âTheotokos Virgin, rejoiceâ at least three times a day. No matter how deeply rooted the cursed passion of drunkenness may be, it cannot withstand the gracious help of the Holy Theotokos. Troparion tone 4: Today we faithful come to the divine and miraculous Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, who fills the faithful from the Inexhaustible Cup of her mercy and shows them great miracles; and we who have seen them and heard of them rejoice in our heart and cry out, with deep feeling and devotion: O all-merciful sovereign Lady, heal our ills and our passions by praying to thy Son, Christ our God, that He may save our souls! Amen. Nadezhda Dmitrieva From the book, We Rejoice In Thee submitted by Yurii_S_Kh to SophiaWisdomOfGod [link] [comments] |
