„The Secret History” by Donna Tartt ~ review
Tumblr media
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5
My feelings about this book are really unclear to me tbh.
I finished it today so im still didn’t have time to objectively look at the book as whole. But im still posting a review because why not XD
Just so you know there might be some spoilers be carefull
Let’s start with things I’m sure I liked.
The writing Oh lord i loved it so much. The descriptions were so vibrant and illustrative and not boring which is often an issue for me. I actually enjoyed reading them and i didn’t feel like they were hard to get through. And the metaphores were just *chef’s kiss*. Overall the writing was amazing it’s my main reason why i want to read another books by Donna Tartt.
The beginning and first half I heard people saying that the beginning was really an issue for them to get through and get hooked by the story. Well, it wasn’t that case for me. I thought the parts when Richard was talking about his life before Hampden and how he got there were interesting. Just like the parts where we started getting to know our gang. The mystery behind those characters captivated me into reading it. Like in general i truly enjoyed first half of the book. The moments in the Francis’ house were really fun to read. Richard’s winter was also interesting to get through. Also this whole thing with the rest of the gang doing something behind Richard’s back really kept me flipping pages.
Certain characters Well, most of the characters in this book were unlikeable. But i think it was done on purpose so I’m not mad. But there are few that i actually liked. First, we have Richard. That might be surprising because of the fact that he’s so bland and he basically doesn’t have a personality, he just makes himself one, but that made me sympathize with him and even relate a little bit. It sounds kinda sad XD but i can understand his need to fit in and lying about his life (although i’ve never done that) because of the feeling that his real life and self is boring and dull. I see Camilla as a promise of a really good character. I feel like if she would get more time in the book, proper development and if she would actually do something meaningfull she would be so much more interesting. But I still think she was fine. I also can’t say nothing wrong about Francis he’s just a good guy.
The ending It wasn’t anything special but i think it was a good closure to the story.
Now moving on to what i didn’t like.
Second half of the book After the death of Bunny I felt like the book kinda lost its direction. I had no idea where the story was going and for some time i think the book also hadn’t. It was just boring tbh. Maybe till Charles started doing some more sketchy shit and Camilla moved out it was hard to get through. The whole funeral and what was happening after (idek what was that) really didn’t do it for me.
How the book didn’t affect me emotionally I almost felt nothing while reading this book. Beyond the curiosity that kept me going. Like i didn’t really care that Bunny died, I wasn’t even really happy about it, I was just „Oh okay finally the part that the beginning was talking about.”. I didn’t even care that Henry killed himself. Or the attempted suicide of Francis or drinking problems of Charles. I think it was because I just felt ambivalent about those charscters and i think thats why this read wasn’t really emotional for me. It’s not necessary a bad thing but i just expected more.
The disappearance of Julian Morrow I really thought that this character would play a major role in the story. Or at least be more present. Or, maybe, be like a puppet master and secretly manipulate everyone from behind the scenes. But then he just like… Wasn’t even there? Like he was in the beginning, he had some small bits in the middle, and he was at the very end. I am really dissapointed that his character was so underused. Because i genuinely think he was an interesting character.
Incest Pretty self explanatory. What was the reason to even include it?
Portrayal of gay people I don’t know it felt weird with the moments where same sex interactions happened just because someone was at hand at the time.
Summary
Now thinking about it more I can say that objectively this book was great. That’s why I was so unsure about my final rating. But i asked myself a question: is that book as good as other books that you like and rate higher than 4 stars? And the answer is no. I wasn’t as invested in the characters or the plot to say that it is. Although i would still recommended. Just beware that it might not live up to your expectations.

Fasting Problems with Night and Badeea
Tumblr media
Warning: Doodles are made in late night. With no working brain. So they will be very very absurt
Probably not everyone will find it interesting, so its under cut ✨
Night: Finally, here we are. We should have been here like week ago but someone hate their doodle style.
Badeea: While they shouldnt! İts just doodle after all.
Naz: Im that someone. Anyway. I feel like i am the only one who could do this. So. Why i wouldnt. It will be mostly Night and Badeea talking to each other. Maybe some npc character too.
Night: Let me guess. I will symbolize 'bad' ones, and Badeea will symbolize 'good' ones.
Naz: I love how you know me dear.
Night:.......
Badeea:.... At least we are here, right?
Naz: Damn right girl. Shall we start? Lets just explain veeery basically what fasting is. Badeea?
Badeea: Fasting is 'basically' Not eating or drinking anything from sunrise to sunset.
Night: We say basically, because there is more. You are actually training your self control. When you want to eat, you wont. When you want to curse, you wont. When you want to lie, you wont. Aaand list is going like that.
Badeea: So this is we trying to be best person we can be for month!
Naz: İsnt it sounds lovely? Lets see how we are dealing with it.
Tumblr media
Night: Most common one... Forgetting youre fasting and just eat or drink something. The moment you realize.... *sighes*
Badeea: But worry not! İf you really forget it, it doesnt break your fast. Just, be more carefull!
Night: ı know there is something else you want to say it. Go ahead...
Badeea:......
Badeea: Pls dont make me 'shower' like that, like, ever....
Night: I said im sorry-
Tumblr media
Night: Okay this is very, VERY, very bad one. You just, CANT, do anything makes you sweat much. Because you already have NO ENERGY. AND CANT DRİNK WATER AFTER İT!
Badeea: Yes.. You should really be carefull about what you are doing. We dont want you to fall down from your broom..
Night: Haha not that it happened.
Badeea: .....
Night: ...... Anywayy. You should just, do your other hobbies, which doesnt make you thirsty or hungry. Like-
Badeea: Drawing! Painting! Reading! Writing! There is so much thing you actually can!
Night: She is right. You should wait for after sunset to do these tiring hobbies. Like me.
Badeea: Ah right. You are practising alone in Training Ground after sunset right?
Night: Yep! İts actually so peaceful. While im sad about not being able to practise with team, for a limited time this is really good too.
Tumblr media
Badeea: Here, youre seeing two type of person. One, who stays awake until sunrise, eat and goes to bed. And two, who goes bed early, woke up at sunrise and eat, and go back to sleep.
Night: Clearly, second one is better if you need to go class in morning.... But i just cant sleep early in nights! So im jıst staying awake until three am, and then eat, and go to sleep. And im sleeping in lunch break too. Have nothing else to do anyway..
Badeea: Im telling you to not, but you never listen.. İts not healty for you. But i guess its your own system..
Night: I love you more when you dont force me to do something.
Naz: I would say something too, but since im writing this in three am with very sleepy head, i feel like i shouldnt.
Badeea: :)
Night: For next one, we dont need a doodle. Here. İ will show you myself. Lets pretend Badeea is someone who just, pushed me into dirt.
Badeea: Oh my...
Night: i would be very angry right? Like *inhales* "WHAT THE FU- WHAT THE HE- WHAT ARE YOU DOİNG? WHY DİD YOU FUC- UGH WHY DİD YOU PUSHED ME? COME BACK HERE YOU LİTTLE- UUUUGHH!!
Naz: ......
Badeea: .....
Badeea: This one is not being able to curse... And im imagining its something, uhm, hard for Night..
Night: Of course its hard! You are trying to not say even basic ones. Yeah being not rude is rather easier but not saying things that you normally say without thinking, yeah its hard.
Naz: .... Thats it for tonight i guess. I might do second part, or "how to treat ones who fasting" part but whoooo knoooows. Im really, really too sleepy to know. I hope i wont regret when im normal XD If you have some, questions?? You can send it to me and i let Night and Badeea answer ✨ Have a nice day! Or night!

So, you cant live the "cottagecore life"?
I am here to tell you that you can!
Wether you're poor, living in the city with no garden or terras, living abroad, have a disability, are poc or still living with your birthgivers, cottagecore is also there for you.
IMO cottagecore (and the like) is about appreciating the smile things in life. Nursing a plant, watching the sun carress the surface, enjoying rain drops falling down, finding fun and love in small acts like cooking, baking, sewing, knitting, gardening, painting,etc. U dont need grand architecture, expensive technology or 'cheap thrills' if you seek small thrills in the simple things. U dont have to like ALL things (I hate crocheting but I like seeing others enjoy it), but I think nearly everyone has a little bit of cottagecore in them. (If smn disagrees with my view, that sounds like a them problem)
So, having lived in cities, suburbs and only very briefly the countryside. Having had a nice income and no income at all and spending a lot of time on how to find these small joys, I will share some tips on how to incorporate some cottagecore into your life
No garden? Not even a terras? Windowsills are your best friend. They are great place for some plants, herbs and regrowths. Some plants dont even need direct light and can stand on your table/desk/shelf
Don't have money for plants? The world is out there! Even the grayest most concrete city I've lived in had some uncontrolled shrubs or weeds growing. Weeds are just as much awesome plants and calling them weeds feels like discrimination? I prefer wildlings. Anyway, you have to be a little more carefull if you go scavenging plants because of private property and hygiene but it is a good excuse for an adventure and remember to bring gloves and take enough surrounding soil to ease the transition of your scavenged treasures. Daisies and dandelions in grassy patches are easy, pretty starters. Love them.
Now you got the plants but not the money or availability of pots? Fear not, almost everything can be a pot. Soda bottles, milk cartons, jugs, chipped mugs, food trays, cardboard packages if lined with some plastic/alu foil,...you might want to put some holes in the bottom to let the water run trough. Put a plate or tray under it. If you need the 'pot' to be raised I found that bottle caps and empty tea lights can do the trick often.
You did get your gruby hands on some store bought plants? Cool, maybe they come in a brown/black plastic pot? You can paint it and reuse. I do recommend to put the plant from that pot in a bigger recipient cuz store plants are usually put in just-big enough pots with lots of fertilizer to keep them looking fresh for sales but they cant survive them longterm. The pots can still be used for smaller plants though. Some plantshops also have a recycle bin for these pots. You can sneak some of them with you. They won't really care
For all the above plant holders, u might think 'it will look ugly, all that plastic and non-unity. If that bothers u, u can paint them, glue them with nice colours or newspaper, make a fun craft project from it. Newspaper, glue and acrylics can hold for quiet some time!
Name tags can be crafted out of popsicle sticks, branches, writing on cobbles, etc.
Regrowths. Propagate some plants, herbs, vegetable. Cheap and fun. Internet is full of tutorials on how to propagate.
Idigenous climate and plants are your best friends. Research the practices of your ancestors/the native settlers. Learn from their lessons and mistakes. You might want to check google books and archive.org for reading/loaning old books about your region.
Sos sewing kits can be your hero if you dont have a sewing shop nearby. All u really need is needle, thread and scissors and you can get started on small projects. Dont aim for a ball gown from scratch though but you can refurbish old/ugly/cheap clothes with a small travelling sos sewing kit.
No fabrics? Use old clothes, blankets, tabletops, curtains or some scarfs. I've found no place yet where I can't buy some scarfs. They are basicly long, rectangular fabrics that can be used for some sewing projects like plushies, head band, tops, pillow covers, etc.
No kitchen? No bake recipes, microwave recipes, what to make in a water kettle etc. Many before you have suffered the lack of a kitchen, including yours truly!
Wall decoration. Print old photos, press leaves or flowers or herbs, calligraph, paint, draw, etc.
No money to buy fancy frames? Not allowed to drill in the wall? Tape and sticky hooks can hold some light weight deco. Tape some paper clips to the wall to hold photos, maps, botanical drawings,...
Laminators are too expensive for my liking. For smaller things you can use tape. Stick it on, fold the tape double, cut. You just laminate a flower. Cut it out, make a frame from leftover paper or cardboard or not, hang it. For the larger things you can us stronger plastic from folder splitters, packing, those slide in things u have to put your front page/homework into. Squash it in between 2 layers and tape/glue/staple/paperclip it together.
No signing voice? Just talk to your plants! The CO2 will do them good.
You dont have to spent money on a plant water diffuser thing. Any mechanical spray thing will work like parfume bottles, sunscreen spray bottles, etc. Make sure they are clean inside before using.
Dont feel bad about plastic flowers
Dont feel bad, ashamed or like you have a short coming for not achieving the ultimate cottagecore aestethic cuz 1. It is an aestethic no one has it. It is meant for inspiration, relaxation and feel good vibes 2. Everybody has as much right to relate to any -core as any other next person. 3. If you enjoy it, it has fulfilled its purpose. Enjoy!
If I think of sth else I will add it. If anyone else has an idea please reblog it with an addition.
Dont hesitate to ask any questions!

SAMHAIN CELEBRATION -COVID-19 EDITION
Tumblr media
In France, we are forced to face another locked down until December 1st (if everything goes well, we had to wait four whole months last time) which means that we cancelled Halloween/Samhain, so I figured that it would be good to share with you some indoor activities ideas I have for this Sabbat.
SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS
I consider each Sabbats as a great time to spend with the ones you love (either romantically or platonically).
If you live with young children, organise a Trick-or-Treat hunt in the house (it's like Egg hunting during Easter/Ostara, but with candies and small pranks). You do not need a garden : just hide the treats in the house (be sure to avoid the kitchen or any dangerous locations).
Dress up with your friends or relatives, either it is a Halloween costume or a more ceremonial outfit exclusively thought for the Sabbat.
Organise a virtual meeting with your friends on Discord, Facebook or any other website or messaging apps. You can even celebrate the Sabbat with them that way !
Cook and bake with them some goods : cinnamon cookies, pumkin pies, caramelised apples... You can also bake and cook your ancestors and lost relatives' favorite dishes to honor them !
DO SOME WITCHY STUFF
Samhain is one of the major Sabbat of the year, plus this one welcomes a blue moon !
Make your plans for the following days, or even the year : It's a new year, so it is time to think about the previous year, about what we've done or haven't accomplished to understand how we can improve ourselves during the next. It is one of the best moment to start a bullet journal, keeping track of your habits or just starting a new good habit (for me, it is to stop blaming myself for everything).
Create some Full Blue Moon water : just expose a bottle of water under the moonlight the whole night on your windowsill or inside on a surface near the window so the light of the moon can touch it. Do not forget to take it away from there before the sun appears.
Cleanse and charge your crystals : In general, every crystals can be charged under the full moon (It will take much more time than if exposed to the sun, so you will need to let them rest on your windowill the entire night as well). However, be sure to pick them up before the sun appears, especially the one which color would fade when exposed to it like Rose Quartz or Amethysts. [BE CAREFULL : some crystals has to be purified differently depending of their compositions - or else you will see your selenite disappear in a glass of toxic water. Please, do your researches first !]
Consecrate your tools : what a better moment to do it if not during a Sabbat ?
Do some divination : pendulum, tarot and scrying are the one I do personally. You can even learn a new divination method !
Update your Book of Shadow and/or Grimoire : I go with the idea that a BoS is a journal in which you write about your own experience as a witch, the spells you tried and how they went... while a Grimoire would be more organised, almost a finished product relating everything you've done from basic knowledge to advanced spells. You can even start it is you didn't done so already. Just keep in mind that the most important thing is its content, not the aesthetic (althoug I admit that you can have some fun drawing in it to make it more pleasing to you).
Purification baths : In the Wiccan belief, Samhain is the end of the year, and the beginning of the next. You don't want to bring all the negativity accumulated during this harsh year with you, right ? If you do not have a bathtub (which is my case) you can use a small bag in which you stuff some herbs inside to rub yourself with in the shower, or create a special scrub meant for this. Be sure that the ingredients you use are safe to be used on your skin by doing some research (look at how to make body scrubs, body soap etc... and compare the ingredients to their magical properties).
TIME FOR OURSELVES & OTHERS
I know some of use aren't necessarily all witches or Wiccan. Maybe some of us are Christian witches, others are Atheist... But we all can do many thigs according to our own culture, beliefs or religions.
Meditate : I talked about journaling, but meditation is another thing you can do regularly.
Give some money to Charity, Indigeneous artists and sign petitions : this is something I do as much as possible in my daily life. Some of the actions and movements you can support are the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBT community and Indigeneous people, as well as to the homeless, victims of domestic abuse. You can, as I wrote, either give some money to a Charity auction profiting to them, buy merchandising and arts made by POC people, sign petitions in order to help them... I am a white European cisgender woman, my only problem is to be a woman ; for the rest I stay a privileged person. And I hate this. I know it might sounds political, but my hope for the future is to live in a world that doesn't discriminate you for your origins, your gender, your sexuality or your religion, as all of these things are part of what makes a human unique and beautiful.
Help the others : following what I've said before, if you have the possibility to help people around you, it is a great chance to do so. You can, for example, help your neighbour's children for their homework through Discord, Skype, Facebook... You can also, if you can, help your eldery neighbours accessing food and essential supplies by purchasing the items for them or having a chat with them before you go home (in France, we are allowed 1 hour outside around our home, and as I take the time to walk with my dogs I also take the time to talk to them when they are at their window, so they won't feel alone, or less alone at least).
Please, stay at home, wear a mask outside, then take your shoes off and wash your hands when coming back home to save people and your family.

Imagine if Marlene and Dorcas never got together. 
Dorcas Meadowes: @dorathemetamorphmagus
------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
Dorcas Meadowes
In sixth year Dorcas is 15 for a large part of the year. She's excited to come back and see all her friends again and have - as always - the best year at Hogwarts. When she steps out on platform 9 3/4 she spots her best friend's bright blonde hair immediately. Her hair's a little longer and she notices because she has let her long curls hang down the back of her new denim jacket. A new look for the always quidditch-ready Marls who usually had her hair up. During the train ride she sits silently thinking to herself how pretty this girl actually is. The next few months she kept having the same argument with herself over and over: yes, Marls looks unusually pretty, but Lily is pretty too... I guess?
They have been best friends for more than five years why is it suddenly... exciting to be around her? Dorcas woke up so many days catching herself wondering if Marls would notice the small amount of makeup she put on or that she curled the end of her ponytail. But she didn't tell anyone and got flustered when she caught herself having these thoughts.
The year went on and she appreciated every single second she had with all her friends so close to her. Especially Marlene.
First day of the seventh year and Dorcas had butterflies in her stomach as she stepped out on the platform. Which is so weird because she had done this six times already. Her eyes searched through the crowd for familiar faces and finally stopped as they met hazel eyes under long blonde hair. They both smiled. Is it possible that she exceeded pretty and just went straight for drop down beautiful? What is going on? It's only been two months.
This year was the year of the sigh. Sigh. What is it with this girl. Sigh. Her golden hair sparkles in this light. Sigh. Why is everything she says so interesting and funny. Sigh. These boys are idiots. Sigh. I want to touch her soft skin. Sigh. Her eyes are so beautiful. Sigh. I'm in love with my best friend. Sigh. Why is she not into girls. Sigh.
For Christmas she got Marlene a silly necklace. She didn't really think she would wear it but loved the photograph in it. In return she got, not one, but two books which were handed over with slight excuses of not being the best gifts but that she did improve one of them by adding her own scribbled lines on the last blank pages. She loved them. She could see they were second hand but the fact that she remembered her talking about these books earlier in the year and then went out to find them for her meant so much to her that they never left her bedside table.
She spend so many days starring at this breath taking blonde creature in front of her. Doing homework. Eating. Listening to teachers. Not listening to teachers. Playing quidditch. Being silly with the boys. Laughing. She sucked in every single second she spend with her. Cherished them. Cherished her. Marlene just didn't know. Oh Merlin how she wished she knew. But at what cost? What would it do to their friendship if she felt the same way? Or if she didn't feel the same way? The outcome scared her.
She got so aware of her every move, carefull not to linger too long in a touch or stare too much. Carefull not to say the wrong things that felt so right to say.
Of course they were girls and they were best friends and she thanked every social construct made up that girls are allowed to be very friendly with other girls. So she could touch a little more and she could stare a little longer. She could tell her that she loved her and she would blow her a kiss before she walked giggling out the portrait hole.
When school ended everything changed. They saw each other a lot but not as often as they were used to. The mood changed. Outside the walls of hogwarts everything seemed so real. So frightening. The war was really here and they were gonna fight it.
In this constant state of terror she started wondering if maybe she should just tell her. Bare her soul and pour her heart all over her unsuspecting presence. She could lose her. But she could also get what Lily and James had. A little light in this eternal darkness.
They fought battles side by side. They mended wounds side by side and at night they slept on the Potter's couch closer than just side by side. Time seemed to move past faster than she wanted it to but it pained her to be so close to her, but still just out of reach. She had to do something. Soon.
In June they spend the rare days off laying in sun rays on patches of grass looking up at the trees. The nights were order time. Dorcas started staying home more often to help Lily when she suddenly had her hands full. She didn't mind not being a part of the front out there, but it did worry her way more that she weren't there to help. She missed her. She missed her giggles and jokes and most of all just being. Just existing in peace and quiet the two of them. Alone. She had made her mind up. She was going to tell her as soon as she came back. What good would it be if something awful happened and she didn't come back? Now was the time. She spend all evening practicing the words in her head so much that Lily asked her several times if she was okay. Are you sure you're okay? She kept glancing at the clock on the wall for hours. It didnt usually take this long. Then she heard the front door unlock and her heart slowed down a bit. Finally. James walked in followed by Sirius and Peter. A moment went by and then Frank and some other Order members. But no Marlene. She had apparently gone by her parents' house on the way back.

Marlene McKinnon
In sixth year Marlene was 16 before the school year even started. As she was saying goodbye to her family, her father pointed out that her girlfriend was approaching. She was just about to exclaim that she didn't have one, when she realizes that he meant it platonic. 'Cause, you know, that's a thing. She turned around and her gaze found the prettiest brown eyes, that she has missed all summer. A girl who's my friend. My girlfriend. Her insides did a little dance as they hugged for the first time in two months. There was so much catching up to do on the train. She needed to know every detail of her summer that she didn't mention in any of the letters - well, and Lily's too. She loved to just sit back and listen to what she had to say and stare at her curvy lips as she talked. Her eyes always sparkled when she was really excited about a subject.
She had known for a while that she found Dorcas a little too cute and a little too beautiful for just your average friend. But had she also done nothing whatsoever? Yes. Because what exactly could she do? She was obviously her best friend which explained all the affection she received in return but she also talked about the boys like they had her full attention. She spend so much time being confused.
Summer before seventh year went by too slowly, but when she finally found herself on the platform with her family, her eyes kept searching the crowd over and over until, finally, dark chocolate hair made its way through the crowd. Her breath caught in her throat for a second before their eyes found each other almost immediately. They both smiled. This girl would be the death of her.
This year Lily made her aware that she sighed more than usual. To the point where it was annoying actually. She sighed once more before finally telling her what was eating her up from the inside. By Merlin it felt good to spill her heaviest thoughts. And to her surprise Lily didn't shut down her feelings completely because - as she pointed out - this was the 70s and just look at Pads and Moony. But being openly gay wasn't the problem. Losing her best friend was. Lily was in many ways her best friend and the same with Sirius but at the same time also Dorcas - in a third very different way.
For Christmas she got a locket necklace from Dorcas. It had a photograph of the two of them and Lily doing funny faces at Sirius who took the photo fifth year. She loved it so much that the only times she didn't wear it was on the Quidditch field only because she wouldn't want to risk losing it. It was weird how such a small item could hold so much meaning for her. For Dorcas she had found some cheap second hand books that she remembered her mentioning at some point. She did want to make them a little personal so she had found her inner poet and written some lines in the back on those last empty pages. Nothing much, just basically all her deepest feelings for this girl disguised as someone else's words. She felt almost embarrassed that her gift didn't match hers at all in any kind of value.
The year was almost over. Hogwarts was almost over. It was hard to imagine not being around these people all day every day. She tried to cherish every moment she had with all her friends but mostly with Dorcas. She became way more physical but at this point she didn't care anymore. She would put her head in her lap when they sat on the couch in the common room. Hold her hand when they were walking places. Stroke her hair when they lay on the grass in the sun. Put her arm around her whenever she had the chance. Hers, but not quite. Just gals being pals. Whenever she would get too sexually frustrated she would grab her broom and practice quidditch till her arms hurt and she was too exhausted to think. This was crazy. She needed to stop.
The war changed everything. She still saw her favorite people but times had drawn a dim blanket over everything. They were happy. Of course they were. But it was always hidden in the faces of everyone. You could see that it was constantly in the back of their minds. They were scared. She would hang around Lily and James' mostly because her own place was small and cold but also because she didn't want to be alone. But mostly because Dorcas also came by very often and so she could share the couch with her every other night, and come home from order missions to her. She could hold her hand.
Lily always proclaimed how jealous she was of Marlene's ability to just say whatever was on her mind. No filter. But this was one thing she could never get herself to put into actual words. Not even to Lily now. Guess she just had to be okay with not being okay. She grabbed her coat and wand and waved at Lily and Dorcas before following the boys out of the door. It was nice to have the missions to steal her focus and get her mind of Dorcas. But then again; it was very nice to have silly girl problems to keep her mind of the fact that an actual war was going on. The mission was over pretty early in the evening so she told the boys that she would swing by her parents’ to pick up some stuff. She had a muggle movie she wanted to show Dorcas tonight. As soon as she opened the door, she felt it. Something was wrong.

Summary : As soon as i graduated from Law School, i was admitted in an internationnal society, which allows his employees to travel around the world if they show langages abilities. As i majored korean at school, i was offered to go to a lawyers office in Seoul. Weeks after my graduation, after reasuring my parents about this sudden trip, i took a plane straight to Korea. All went well, until i had to work for a certain celebrity there, who was nobody but Jeon Jungkook. A jerk.
Genre : Fluff, attempt of angst but i am not good at it sorry ugh. romance, we are all here for romance please.
Warnings : Talks about crime (a rape but it never happens its just mentionned don’t worry) maybe some swearing but i will try not to !
Lets go to the first chapter (i hope i will have some support though).
Tumblr media
“turn left just here”
I was pointing him the street where my appartement was so he could turn at the right moment. After a 20 minutes drive, he stopped the car in front of  the building. Before going out of the car, he handle me the keys without really looking at me. I pick it from his warm hands and put it into my pocket. He leaves the car first and i follow him. As if he invited in his house but that wasn’t the case at all since this guy randomly took place in my car without asking .
As i followed him to the entrance i took a minute to ask myself how to get rid of him. Because in fact, i just helped him escape from some crazy people in the street but it didn’t meant he could also invite himself at my place. Moreover, i didn’t even know what he was being chased for. Maybe he was some violent punk, maybe he beated someone and those people wanted a revenge. I don’t  know. I need to stop him now or he will become a burden. And i don’t need that.
Before he enters the hall, i call him by behind. “hey! what are you doing right now ?” he stops and look back at me, with questionning eyes “ i didn’t say i would help you”. I walk to him slowly and i can see he is trying to avoid my eyes but i am trying to convince him, and it all start by looking straight at him. I reach him sooner than i thought and i can feel his tired breath. 
In a sight, he makes a step to me “you are a lawyer right ? I am asking you to help me.” Annoyance is starting to grow inside me and before answering to him i fix my hair on my shoulders “what should i help you i don’t even know you” i avoid his look “plus, you don’t look like a reliable person”.
“What kind of lawyer are you i thought you would be nice but i was wrong. Lawyers those days don’t want to help if they are not forced to. I thought it was a job you guys do because you believe in justice like heroes. Looks like not.” He doubles me and his shoulder hits mine but i am too shooked by his words to react. He was right, i was rude to him. For a second he looked pityful. I fixed the hall door, wanted to enter the buildings, but i still heard his steps behind me, leaving with anger. What if he really was in trouble. Maybe it was a great hazard if he met me. I remembered how he had looked to my lawyer badge earlier and how his eyes lighten up when he realised i was a lawyer. I squeeze the handle of my bag, containing myself for doing something stupid i would regret. 
“What is up with you, what do you need from me ?”
My voice echoed. At first i regretted immediatly my words. Well not just at first. I also regretted it when he turned back to me with surprise. I keep squeezing my bag, hoping he won’t go back to me. I just wanted to save my honor by offering some sort of help. But deep inside me i just hoped he won’t turn back to me and still think i was an asshole for the rest of his life. Unhopefully, he didn’t. He run back at me, like a kid who was offered a piece of cake. His oversized hoodie floated around his body and his hood fell off his head, letting me finally see him clearly. He was probably my age. Which made me more confortable for some reasons. Knowing he wasn’t too older than me made me think i could defend myself if i needed to. Which is the dumbest reasoning ever.
“so, are you going to help me?"
He was almost smiling, eyes holding hope and looking straight at me. I bitted my lips before answering. “yes i will ty to help you”. He let his head fall back “thank god, i really thought you were a stupid lawyer”.
I should have punched him after that but i didn’t. Instead i gave him a fake smile, not wanting to hurt him. “first, don’t ever run into shops like you did earlier, and don’t steal others cars ! Seriously.” He grinned and answered “i didn’t stole it, you were ok with that” i rolled my eyes. Was he really this anaware ? “well, it’s not like you gave me choice” “sorry for that, you were the only escape i had”.
I nodded to myself and finally offered him to follow me. His steps were carefull behind me, copying each of my moves and trying not to bother me. Leaving the escalator, we reached my door and before opening it, i turned back at him. He was looking at the wall, he looked bored. I felt my heart shake for a second but my mind was clear so i punched his torso to wake him up. “Hey! wake up, don’t think you can fool me with your depressed look” i lied. He look ed down at me and let an ironic sight escape his mouth, making his lips pout. “don’t think you are my type, you are the exact opposite, i am just here cause you are usefull to me”.
So he can be an asshole too. Well, guess i am going to help him and get him to leave my appartement asap. Why was he cute when he needed me, but know that he is about to get what he wants he treat me like i am an old sock.
“don’t make me call the police because this is what you deserves after stealing my car”, he grinned and put his hands in his pocket “call them then”. He really was pissing me off. But i don’t wanted to loose this kind of fight and i rolled my eyes again “ i shouldn’t have offererd you my help. Lets  fix your problem quickly i don’t want you here too long or i might kill you”. I pushed my door in anger, leaving my bag on the floor, with my shoes. He put his shoes off too and entered the leaving room, making himself  confortable by sitting immediatly on the couch. 
“it’s cosy here. do you leave alone ?” He was scaning my appartment, which was quite small making the review fast. My place wasn’t original, except there was tons of plants and flowers everywhere, books and dvds on every free place. I used to live in the coutryside with my parents, so plants weren’t even an option to me when i had to leave in Seoul. 
“yes i am alone, do you want something to drink?” i asked, opening the fridge and choosing myself a Sprite.
“no thanks, just lets get to the facts since you don’t want me here any longer”
I laughed in exasperation “right, tell me then”. I opened the bottle, making a “pcht”. “first what’s your name?” I stayed at the bar of the kitchen, where i was able to see him clearly. I sat on a chair, legs crossed.
He leaned his head on the back of the couch, making his bang part on his forehead, giving him 5 years older than he was seconds ago. 
“I don’t know if i want to tell you this already. I will just tell you in what kind of trouble i am, and then, if you accept to be my lawyer, i will tell you my name” He tilted his head in my direction looking at me in despair.
“is that a satanic offer?” i joked while sipping my drink.
“just promise me that after knowing my name you won’t reject me or i will really steal your car”
I closed my eyes, lifting my brows up in frustration. “just go ahead and stop saying shit”
“well, it all started when-”
“make it short” i cut him
“for fuck sake just listen to me!  A girl is about to file a complaint about me because she wants me dead and she is going to tell the police i raped her which is fake”
“tell me it's wrong please or i will punch you out of my appartement”
“of course it is not please trust me” he eyed me with anger
“do you know who is she”
“yeah, she texted it to me”
“then spill it out”
“let’s say it is my ex”
After i heard this word my heart stopped. It was just a common war between exes. He was doing all this drama for this.
“well it’s simple, just call the police before she does, and explain everything. If what she is about to say isn’t true then tell them"
I started to ask myself what kind of guy he was. This is a difficult situation he was going through but the police is really helpful in this kind of case. He don’t need a laywer but just to call 119. 
“i assure you, all you need is to tell the police that this girl is harassing you if you want to get rid of her. Plus you have the texts has proof so go on”
I went back on my feet and pick a bag of doritos. i go next to him with Doritos in my mouth, i put the bag in front of him, he looked tired and hopeless. He wave the bag away and get up, facing me.
“you don’t understand”
“i do, your ex hates you, end of the story, what’s your name again ?” i pick another chips
“i haven’t told you my name yet”
“well go on, if you want i can make sure this girl won’t bother you and tell my collegues to watch it out”
He pauses, bitting his lower lips. His dark hair were pulled by both side of his forehead, i could smell his sweet and musky perfume. i kept on chewing the doritos, hiding the fact that the way he looked didn’t let me indifferent. He was  attractive.
I sat down on the couch, trying to ignore him. “what’s the problem with your name though”. He eyed me. 
“tell me, this could be our secret, you remind me of someone”
He watches me eating like a pig, turning on the television with hands full of rests of doritos. I can feel the pressure of his stare on me. But i try not to care. 
“What kind of girl are you”
“Not your kind as you said earlier”
He tilts his head without me noticing and run his tongue on his teeths. 
I stopped zapping the channels until i found a cultural show. He suddenly bend over me, trapping me between his arms. Both hands on the back of the couch One of his knee climb on the couch, making sure i won’t move.
“shhh, i am not your style remember. You can leav my appartement by the way”
It was obvious he was mad at me. Because he probably expected from me that i would solve his problem right away. But i didn’t. And it was making him crazy. I am sure he don’t want to go outside annd face the same people who chased him. But i didn’t care at all.
“please i can’t see through people, just leave” 
He didn’t move an inch. “ i remind you someone ugh?”
“yeah and what”
“I am Jeon Jungkook”
I stared at him. I squint, not sure if he is joking or not. I have heard that name before maybe on the tv or at the radio. 
“Are you maybe an idol or something ?”
“Do you know INTERNET?”
“hey don’t be rude to me, of course i do but-”
He cut me by throwing a pillow at me and leave me free. I throw the pillow on the ground in an epiphany.
“ARE YOU JEON JUNGKOOK FROM BTS”
“yeah i am oh my god you are a retarded human”
“Go to hell, i don’t care about idols and stuffs like that... Plus, you are not a god so calm down” I understand why he was running like a crazy, why he was hiding himself under a hood and why he won’t tell me his name at first. He took a look at his phone and sighed. he put it back in his pocket. giving me the opportunity to look at his figure for a second.
“like what you see”
“not that much, but i thought the Golden Kid would be a nice and cute person. You are more like a demon. What’s up ?
“Apparently she already told the police”
“it sucks being you”
“yeah...”
I started having pity for him. I was used to deal with celebrities. An Idol or not, nobody deserves to be left aside. I hate to admit it but i wanted to help him. Not because he was an Idol, but because he really was in trouble since his ex complainted already. It could ruin his life.
“that’s why companies ask their artists not to date.” 
“shut up, i am sure you will grow old and be a crazy cat woman” he groaned.
“the crazy cat woman offers you her help” i said, without looking at him because of my proud self.
He squeeze his cheeks in embarrassment. 
“just leave tomorrow, cause you are still a stranger to me and that’s quite embarrassing having you here”
He nodds and takes place by my side.
“thank you.”
“you’re welcome” i offer him doritos again
“what’s your name?” he picks ome chips out the bag
“i am Y/N”
“Y/N, you are such a pig”
“shut up”
I slap him on the shoulder as he chew happily, getting some more doritos.

Hail and well met noble adventurer! I see you have managed to survive the perilous journey that takes you from Greyhawk to Seattle. Unfotunately, the locals can be, to put it in local parlance, 'sticks in the mud' about rival adventurers, or, as they call them, shadowrunners, showing up from far away mystical lands. It is almost as if they don't have enough ranks in diplomacy to understand that is being a terrriiiiiibleambassador for the greatest RPG setting ever made. No no, put your sword away, mindlessly slaying orks and trolls here is a faux pas. Lets get you situated. Because I am assuming you aren't a fool, you probably noticed that the system people gen around these parts is something called 'priority' for the most part, with a few people using lifepaths or karmagen. This means there are no levels. Which makes sense. To give you an idea of the power level of a starting runner, you can imagine them as being about level 6-9 in 5e, and maybe 11 in 4e. At the point where your average guardsman (they call them 'Cops' or 'Pawns' or 'KE' around here) can't really do much to threaten you, but noooot quite the point where the guard doesn't have enough people to drown you or a few magic items (Rocket launchers are magical, right?) you shouldn't treat them like a joke. And veryvery scary people who are as strong or stronger than you exist in those groups, ready to hunt you down if you misbehave too badly. Basically you are a big fish not in a small pond but in an ocean. Don't undersell yourself and cower in fear as a mallcop threatens to call in backup, but remember that you could get smashed if you aren't carefull. People get really upset when you talk about classes as well around these parts despite the fact that shadowrun baaaaasically has classes. But call them roles. Or people will get mad for no reason about it. The main roles everyone agrees exist are Mages, hackers, samurai, faces, and riggers. However no one can agree what any of them mean besides some superficial qualities. And some, like faces and samurai, have suuuper controversial debates around them like which one is actually an infiltrator or is infiltrator a new role on its own. That is just the locals being passionate about issues that affect them, pay them no mind, and always just be very explicit about what you are doing. Also, instead of multiclassing you can, with enough skill, mold two classes into one, sort of like how an avenger is a weird rogue-paladin hybrid in 4e, a combat face or battle hacker or gunslinger mage can be crafted. Unlike in D&D, you often lose very little from this up front, and instead pay in other more subtle ways. It is hard to go wrong, because unlike D&D where you need to be efficient with power because everything around you is scaling up constantly and if you mess up one level you basically can't fight ever again, Shadowrun boasts a metric called "good enough" where you consistently accomplish what you need to accomplish to beat 90% of the opponents and challenges you face. Adventures, or as the local adventurers call them, shadowruns, are rarely, though they sometimes are, a dungeon crawl. Of course, even in your homelands you are familiar with the types of adventures people around here take, and thus talking about how you should throw out all knowledge you have is completely silly. Most 'runs' are heists, where a team of people need to complete an objective that, surprisingly, doesn't involve breaking into a subterranean species's home to kill them for their stuff because they aren't the same species as you or your friends. Steal this, intimidate so and so, kill whoever, find out what is going on somewhere... Standard stuff. Unlike in the good old kingdoms however you generally don't do this solely through force of arms. You can, if you wish, and some runs will be best solved that way. But in general there is a lot more planning in a run. You can think of it like this, dungeons and dr- I mean adventures back home are more tactical, with more choices being made in a fight. In shadowru- Seattle, runs are more about thinking ahead and reacting to bad situations on the fly rather than just overpowering your opponent. You are stronger than most obstacles you face, but if you go head first into any situation, even a fight, you may find yourself shut down to the point you can't recover, and this is considered acceptable rather than unfair. Basically, use your head before charging in, rather than after, even if you 100% know you want to fight. Now, as for your character. A magician, or mystic adept, is a fine choice for a first character. Mages, Faces, and Samurai are probably the easiest characters to make. To be a good mage, you need to follow these basic rules: 1: Have magic at 6 2: Have spellcasting and summoning at 6. 3: Have at least 1, but probably more, ranks in counter-spelling, assessing, and binding. 4: Know the heal spell, and one AOE indirect spell. I recommend fireball, because it is a classic from your homeland. You should know more spells, but an AOE indirect is your panic button, and not knowing heal makes you a diiiick. 5: Carry a gun and use it over using combat magic unless you need to end the entire fight. If you ever cast fireball, it should be for a situation dire enough to overcast in. Use reagents to make overcasting non-lethal. 6: Let your team do the work until it is time to go ham. Then go ham, and continue to go ham until it is safe to stop going ham. Do all of that, and you are set. You could mess up pretty much every other aspect of your character and still be ok. Unlike in 'the homeland' magic has limits that prevent it from easily replacing the skills of others. For example, hiding normally is almost always more likely to work than an invisibility spell, unless the person hiding is rather bad at it, simply because of how the dice work out. By all means if someone needs to be invisible, make them invisible, but understand that every spell you cast is an unsubtle action on the astral and physical plane that may lead to detection. A good mage knows when to act with extreme prejudice and when to trust their team and their abilities. Starting gear is an easy place to mess up. Most gear lists are a bit too comprehensive for my tastes, but I recommend you look at them and understand why a lot of stuff is more helpful than you might think, and you can give serious consideration to just using one if you want. No matter what though, the bare minimum is a rating 3 SIN, fake licenses at the same rating as your SIN for magic, a gun, and something like bodyguard or private investigation, an armored jacket, a comlink of rating 2-3, a TMP, 30 rounds of standard ammo, and trodes. As a mystic adept, you have a few choices. If you wanted to be a mage-adept hybrid, I have bad news as mystic adepts are really bad at this, and while it can be done, I highly don't recommend it for your first PC. You can be a magical swordsman with experience in the system, but it will likely just be a miserable experience on your first PC. However mystic adepts are really good at being mages who are supported by adept powers. In this regard mystic adepts are newbie friendly because you can just take powers like combat sense and increase reflexes to become a very deadly combat mage. Some people find it boring, some people love it. But this is your character and if you find the idea of being the fastest spell-slinger in seattle to be cool then by Pelor's light you should make that character. The absolute worst reason to not do something is over the judgement of magical internet people. That said never be afraid to ask for advice, but be aware that specificity is good. Because the 'classes' of SR are much more open ended, as are the purchases you can make, it is much harder to help someone based solely on knowing their class. Elf-mystic adept tells us very little. I will note right off the bat you should swap attributes with magic, as starting with less than 6 magic is pretty rough on yourself. Its fine to do, but this is your first PC, best foot forward. I would also not advise mixing melee with mystic adept your first go around, because it again can be very challenging to do well. And if your game lasts for a decent amount of time it would be easy enough to learn melee and get very good at it very quickly anyway. Finally, some major genre stuff you really should make a consistent effort to wrap your brain around: It is ok, and even good, to split the party. Due to DNI and microtranscievers, you are effectively always in the same scene as everyone else, meaning many of the problems of splitting the party are gone. Because most runs are heists, the loss of combat power isn't an issue, and you may NEED to split up to accomplish objectives. No, everyone can't piggy back on the face and samurai sneaking into a place. Furthermore, just feel free to always ask your GM, point blank "What should I do in this situation" or "What does this mean?" Unless they are a twat, they will remember you are learning a radically different system and setting. And to the locals.... At the end of the day it is about pretending to be elves with magic beating the crap out of people, with slightly different twists about what kind of elves you are, how you beat people up, and why. Shadowrun is like my favorite thing ever, but it ain't that special, just... cool it yeah? Seriously... imagine if you were trying a big new intimidating hobby and everyone told you that you were doing it wrong and getting upset you misused jargon and that all the experiences you had that got you excited about doing this new thing are meaningless... that wouldn't be fun... it might even intimidate you out of even trying... And that isn't cool.

A study in representation: Why bisexual John Watson matters.
I started writing an angry rant about sherlock queerbaiting and bisexual representation in television and it turned into a short essay about why John Watson is the bisexual hero we all deserve. Read under the cut if you want.
For many of us the strongest media product that occupied our minds in january was BBC drama Sherlock. In the course of 7 years this masterful piece of television taken over our hearts and minds in what we could call only a expertly crafted mystery. Not really a crime show or a police drama, Sherlock was always focused more on wrapping psychological metaphors into what appears to be “the case of the week”. It took fans years to decode very carefully crafted clues about the relationship between the self-called sociopthic detective and his blogger. Or so we thought we did.
If you take BBC Sherlock, remove the emotions played on the show and the carefull progress of relationship between John Watson and Sherlock Holmes, the only thing that would remain, is a very propostrious and self-indulgent crime show. The creators showed us this in the last episode of the season, where they virtually removed any and all shown ties between Sherlock, his brother and John.
Sure, there were emotionally draining scene between some characters, but they all served to the fact, that the three characters that remained locked together in a room, didn’t show a geniuine emotion towards each other trough the whole episode. This could clearly be seen on moments when Sherlock points a gun to himself and either of the two characters by his side does not react. It’s not as they couldn’t, but if they did, it would ruin the nartative where Sherlock gets hit by a tranquilizer dart before he can kill himself. During the course of the whole episode they sacrificed the trustwortiness of characters and their personality for the sake of the plot.
In the end, fans remained disapointed in the confusing ending of something that could be called a luke-warm homage to every horror movie ever made, rather that episode of Sherlock. The most disapointing was perhaps the idea, that the most hard-working part of the fandom got laughed at for their work. The fans that took their free time to crack the coding and every metaphor in the show all thought they have it all figured out. Even the creators of the show played into our cards with certainly strange but, what remained the most insightful episode in terms of looking into brains of Sherlock Holmes- The Abominable Bride. This special episode, being all part of Sherlock’s imagination, clearly draws few disturbing yet exciting clarifications about what the detective really thinks of his friends and coleagues. Some really toughtfull theories link Sherlock’s and John’s adventure in this episode to the unfortunate marriage of real John Watson to Mary Morstan and Sherlock’s own feeling for his friend. There’s really no other sound explanation for the infamous scene where Holmes and Watson are hiding in the shadows, waiting for the bride to appear, talking about romantic entanglement and impulses.
They even noded to certain conspiracies presumed by the fandom with the secret society that formed in the mids of Victorian London and planned to turn what we know upside down. There was a number of nods to the theories and the conclusions people from the fandom drawn from previous episodes. This whole process left us feel hopeful that we finally cracked the enigma behind the writers intentions.
Even creator Steven Moffat did assure fans that he is coding the show in such manner that in the end we would be able to predict future events in the Sherlock universe. By decoding all previous information we received, there was only one output; BBC Sherlock is a love story in its core. It’s a story of a man drained of his own feeling and sense of self, that is slowly coming to embrace the fact that he is in fact capable of emotions. And the one pulling him out of his shell is no one other than John Watson.
That’s the reason why the core fandom of the show stayed so shook after the last episode. Those of us identifying away from the heterosexual spectrum felt even more betrayed. Because Sherlock was promising us long deserved representation on a show that wasn’t primary understood as romance in the first place. There was potential for normalising a queer relationship in such manner that wouldn’t be disturbing to the show, nor a shockingn factor. Rather it would tie everything together and make sense of so much unexplained acting choices.
For me, it’s not really Sherlock Holmes being gay, that seemed that revolutionary. From the first moment on the show Sherlock was heavily queer coded for the audience. The infamous dinner at Angelo’s, pink phone, bathrobes, or -as Sherlock himself observes- ammount of product in his hair and the way he takes care of his appearance. Nobody would be surprised by this revelation.
The alluring part was John Watson and the group that he could represent. If the finale we all hooed for, would have happened, John Watson would become pioneer in bisexual representation. As a middle-aged white male with military background and mostly average skills John Watson represents the group world often associates with power. His doctor training even gives him a note of credibility, stating him an inteligent middle class that made something of himself. The poster picture of heterosexual man within him and his average cold-headed personality makes him the perfect candidate to break all the rules of this idea how queer people should look like. John Watson is the hero we all deserve by this point in history of television or only in context of recent political climate.
For me, BBC Sherlock had an opportunity to shatter the image we have about bisexuality and how average queer person behaves. They would create a character that already appeals to straight and queer alike and make him the face of normalising lgbtq+ people everywhere. They just had to take that one step further.
But they failed. That sunday night, the group that wanted most to root for this show, stayed dissapointed. We felt cheated, shattered and not enough to be acknowledged by the show we are grown to love. Show, that presented itself on their advertising for this season and all over social media as queer positive, wasn’t brave enough to make the difference, to land that plane and bring us all home. And for what? For getting higher viewing numbers?
So many viewers felt dissapointed and ridiculed in the season finale. It was one of the biggest cases of queerbaiting in the recent history. BBC One even tweeted about Sherlock being in love this season prior to s4 airing. There was countless nods and jokes about how love conquers all and we should just hope and see if it’s our cup of tea. In the end, there was no romantic ending, or not an explicit one. Even thoug we got an image of Sherlock and John living together, if we want to be bolder even being happy together, the ex-wife narative gave it a strange mood of displacement in that moment. The last scene didn’t fit the episode as a whole in the slightest and put off the viewer even more.
The other problematic part can be the fact, that most villains on the show expressed, one way or the other, very dangerous predatory behavior toward a same sex at some points in the show. Though it could be understand as John’s or Sherlock’s own consciousness battling with their sexuality, there’s so many dangerous ways this plays into spreading homophobia and negative stereotypes about queer people. Contrasting this with an openly gay heroes in a loving and normal relationship could have erase such precedens this show has had on portraying queers as dangerous and vile sexual predators. But instead of taking this matter into acciunt, they yet again introduced another predatory queer character that wasn’t even ashamed of confessing to rape.
What they didn’t realise is the impact. Not only the one they could have if they made our wishes true, but the one they made on their viewers. Not only they portrayed queer people in unnaceptable light to straight following of the show, but they send a message to young queers everywhere watching and hopping to see themselves on the screen. And the young LGBTQ+ community asked themselves: Is this really us?
When I was young, I didn’t have any tv show or a book that would showed me it’s ok to be what I was. It took me a long time to realise that the feeling I developed for some girls around me was actually attraction and not just wishfull thinking to be them. It started with young Emma Watson in Harry Potter movies and I dismised it because I already knew I liked boys, so there wasn’t more to it, right?
It was the hit series Glee that helped me made peace with my struggling sexuality. I simply wasn’t straight or gay, I was bisexual. And since that moment I kept searching for that one character that would make me proud, that could put a face to my sexuality and maybe show some basic explanation I could point at and say “he’s like me, that’s how I feel”. I desperately wanted that representation, that magical piece of storytelling that I could show to my family and friends and make them understand. Most character I came across were very problematic in clearly defining their sexuality. There were either gay or straight and there wasn’t any middle ground allowed to land me as a person that discovered she doesn’t want to put herself in either cathegory. If I found a character that could cross into that middle ground, there was always some problem. It was often them being a butt of a joke, problematic relationship with one of the sexes, or even really weirdly framed relationships that weren’t healthy. Or simply they were defined as gay or straight depending on the relationship they ended in on the show.
John Watson was my white whale among the sea of character I couldn’t really embrace as representation for me. He was a mediocre, normal man with positively crafted personality. He wasn’t the shining star of the show, Sherlock always was. He was the friend that probed usefull to have, loyal to the last bit, caring for people around him, in an estabilished relationship with a woman and yet portrayed trough the show as romantic interest of a man. John Watson was the opportunity to show that ones bisexuality doesn’t get erased the moment he enter a monogamous relationship with either sexes. He could also diminish the popular belief that bisexuals are really inconstant and fickle people, often frivolously changing partners. There’s so much stereotypes we believe queer people to be that John Watson simply isn’t. He was everything I ever searched for in merits of breaking the stereotype and represent what being bisecual really means to me. Just being as everybody else.
Representation matters. It might not matter to the fandom, that will always view the story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson as a tale of untold love, but it matters how our views are presented to the world. The world generally sees but does not observe. Showing an explicit romantic entanglement between these two characters would make the world open their eyes to the possibility that queer relationships are just relationship after all. Portraying two of the most famous characters in this light would be a huge step for queer portrayal in the media.
It pains me to think that bisexual representation lost such a valuable opportunity. This chance to show queer love in show that has such a massive following with both leads played by international stars, was one of a lifetime. And though I haven’t really given up the hope there could be something more still in the horizont, The Lost Specia if you will, that would tie all the lose ends of this series and give us what we as a community deserve, my hope is slowly fading. I will wait untill next Sunday and then I will put my tinfoil hat to rest and resume my search for the white whale elsewhere.
Dear Steven and Mark, this is a plea to you, don’t let us down.
Sincerely,
Your queer fandom.

big mood rant underneath 
so I found out my mother and dad are trying to get my big brother to come home and i was told today to be careful because he is very depressed. (he hasn't talked to me since we had that big argument and im not living in a one sided relationship fuck that) and i just had a lovely panic attack at the thought of having to live feeling like i am a fucking burden all the time as my big brother abuses me all the time, as he did while he visited January. if I have to deal with him all the time I dont think it will be very fun for me. 
I have to look after my brother with Autism, I make sure he eats is emotionally happy and try my best to make sure he is happy and ok, witch is hard since he never talks about his feelings :( and that puts a lot of strain on me since im the only one whom is asked to find out how he is feeling etc. and its soo hard that he never talks about it but i cant imagine how hard it is for him. I look after miss Lucy, I take her for walks i feed her everyday, i take her out to pee i make sure shes ok, i used to look after my best friend Ruby intill she passed away and i know that, that happend in November but boy is is still raw, i miss her and it hurts so much to not have her by my side, maybe it feels bad to say this but i think its the only time i have felt proper grief, yes i grieved for my other lost family but it didn't hurt as much as this. I have never hurt as much as this, I am sure people dismiss it because she was a bird a parrot a ‘pet’ but she was so much more. 
I am expected to listen to my mum moan and moan about the people next door hahaha thought that one was over did you not? no after the old man next door died mother needed something to spend her time on so we get stuck with the same thing over again just different people, at least there is no banning on the wall, the old man got his wish ,huh? 
mother was ill the past week, I looked after her all week I cooked her food, I got her drinks, i stayed with her to make sure she was ok, i did all the house work I helped out when i could, Mother did thank me and so did dad, but i still feel hollow about it , like isnt that what your supposed to do? am i not supposed to help? I look after people all the time is this not it?
I feel like i look after my mothers emotional health but that is just impossible she is so fucking nuts theres nothing i can do about that, apparently ‘nan’ is becoming a batter person, like i would believe that. my mother comes home ill most of the time when she goes to see her and I dont know if shes putting pills or something in her food or feeding her out of date shit, after all these years of shit she has done I am not going to immediately trust her just like that, all shes done to my mother and all thats happend to her is probably why mother is so nuts. 
Dads hella not happy he is depressed as shit mother makes that worse sometimes, he is not happy at his work the shittty ‘team leader’ bullies him. I try and make him happy but he is distant and he distances himself, he would often just be with mother then talk to me or thats how it feels, it feels like he dont wanna be with child. but he usually nice to me and is good dad but he has his own problems. how am i supposed to help with that.
i gotta help with everyone elses problems look after everyone else and everything and i dont get anything in return, is that selfish? no one says be carefull of rebecca she is depressed, no one says look after rebecca shes not feelign well, i have to push through it and fucking look after my own health and others and i dont get shit, is that selfish? am i being selfish? because i cant do it anymore i cant do this anymore, IM trapped cuz mom dont like any job i jget an interview for, everything is bull shit and i am trying my hardest to find a reason to live but boy is it so hard, ruby was lways my reason now there is none. I want to leave if my big brother comes back as soon as possible i want to go. i cant do this anymore there is no way out of this bullshit IM TRAPPED pleas eelet me out this life iss not fun anymore it was never fun to begin with ttho was it? wait mum wants me to be her little skivvey her little fucking skivvy e

RELATED QUESTIONS: 
Can someone please explain health insurance to me?
I'm looking for individual health insurance and it is very confusing. Can someone explain what things like deductible, copay, and coinsurance mean? Also, what's the difference between a PPO, Network, Indemnity, and a HSA-qualified plan? Lastly, how do I know exactly what is covered before I apply? People have sent me things in the mail and I'm looking online and I was given a list of things covered, but then it says that this isn't everything and once I sent in my payment I will get a full list of my policy and coverages. That seems shady, and these are top companies like Aetna and Health America, so I don't think they would rip me off. Plus, how come these companies aren't offering a bundle plan, where I can get health insurance, vision, and dental all in one plan with one monthly payment?""

Is landlord responsible for pool insurance?
We signed a lease that required us to take out insurance for $ 500,000 if we used the pool and planned on having guests use the pool also . They also wanted the insurance to cover themselves . When speaking to our insurer, USAA, they said our renters insurance , which included $100,000 liability, would cover us having anyone besides us use the pool or being on our property in general . The landlord was responsible for having insurance for the pool and the house to protect themselves and they told us we were not responsible for paying for insurance for the landlord . The property was in Norfolk VA . We just wanted to know if he landlord was trying to get us to pay for their share of insurance when it wasn't our responsibility and if we were right to have stuck with USAA advice .""
Enterprise Rent a Car Insurance?
I reserved a rental car in California with Enterprise. The price was $9.99/day because of a weekend deal . When I checked in at the counter the agent told me that I needed to either provide proof of FULL COVERAGE insurance or purchase their insurance (which would raise my daily rate from $9.99 to $40)!! If I didn't do either then they wouldn't let me rent a car. I thought that was ridiculous and decided not to rent a car. I've never been required to show proof of any type if insurance whether it be liability or full coverage when renting a car. Was there some recent law that I missed or were they scamming me?
What is the best way to use technology in comparing insurance premiums for MEDICARE costing?
Many of the baby boomer generation will shortly be reviewing insurance costs for our retirement years - health, medical, prescription and the like. We will need to make decisions based upon retirement income and expenses. I have done some preliminary research and it appears I need to do a lot more. The data for health and medical costs is easily available however there is a ton of it. For this reason, I intend to use spreadsheets to crunch through this and any other tech tool I can locate. One of the problems with this approach is that just about every quote is proprietary, that is each quote has its own bells and whistles which make it more or less expensive than the next company. Although I have spreadsheet skills, I can visualize that any template I make must provide for more assumptions than I want to make. From the above it's clear to me that I need some kind of generic (FREE) spreadsheet template that is not proprietary, combines monthly income and expense (insurance premiums counted as expenses), is not locked in terms of making formula adjustments, and has the ability to forecast. If this is as clear as mud to you, welcome to the crowd. Surely, there are fill in the blanks templates dealing with MEDICARE comparative cost determination. If there are and you are aware of them, please let me know. I would be in your debt. Regards, Rich F. Florida""

Why do insurance companies base rates on credit?
Illness hurt our family financially but we recovered and are on the credit mend. Funny thing is we have never missed an insurance payment - nor have we lapsed policies.

Do you have to get insurance as soon as you get your license?
I plan on going to get my drivers license in a few weeks (hopefully I pass!) and I've been told you have to have insurance right away. I'm currently on my parents plan with my permit but it's not costing them anything. Their agent said to immediately notify her once I get my license. Could she have said this just because she thought I would be getting a car? I don't plan on getting a car anytime soon but drive my parents cars occasionally. So will the insurance go up any if I don't have my own car that needs to be insured? If so will it be a lot? All answers will be greatly appreciated, because my parents are trying to make me put off getting my license because their car insurance is sky high already because of all the tickets & wrecks my brother has gotten in & I really want my license! Thanks in advance!""

I know its not going to be 30 a month for such a young in experienced driver.. but 400 a month for a tiny car??!!... i have no one to help me ... how do i find out if car insurance is just a joke or is it possible to get some sensible quotes? how do normal people get sensible car insurance for the first time? or are they just born with 10 years of NCB ?""

Considering suing my car insurance company?
As we all know car insurance companies in the United States of America charge males more than females to drive a car based on real world studies . This is the equivalent of not hiring females because they may get pregnant and take a lot ofdays off... Because this is truly a real world study i conducted that males dont get pregnant as often as females. So I am highly tempted to bring this up with a lawyer or at least send a letter to my car insurance company, and i want them to hurt for it because frankly it pisses me off that i am being descriminated against. Further more, in europe, this practice of charging males more because they are more likely to drive is highly illegal. I am in no way a liberal democrat but if this sensitivity bullshit is going to stop descrimination than maybe they should give a **** about me before i start caring about them...""

What are some reasons a person would get kicked off of state farm car insurance?
recently i had gotten into a small accident in a private driveway. not much damage done to either vehicles. when we brought this to the attention of our State Farm Insurance, they said that my mom can be taken off the plan because i was an unlicensed driver with no other driver in the car. she had no idea i had the car though. i own the car but its under her insurance. i usually only take it to work, but something rather important had come up and i had no other way of reaching my destination. can they really take my mom off her plan for something she was not aware of?""

""Recently hit by another driver, got estimate for his insurance company. Not sure I should repair for that cost""
My car is a 1994 Lexus ES300 with 125,000+ miles on it. I would say it is in good or fair condition, the leather seats are cracking badly and it has a few scrathes, etc. I'm just wandering if it is in my best interest to repair this car or for it to be totaled out. The estimate for repairs in $3500.00, which could always go up once repairs start for unseen damage. I'm just not sure the car is worth repairing for that amount considering its condition. The damage is to the drivers side rear panel which is now rubbing something when I turn either way or go over any kind of bump in the road. The estimate does not consider repair for that since that could not be seen by looking at the vehicle. They are also saying the paint can't be matched perfectly because of the fading caused by sun and weather over the years. With everything considered my resale value is not good. I did want to sale this car at some point and get newer car.""

Would you be in favor of health insurance plans that cost less but force you to make lifestyle changes?
I saw somewhere that an estimated 90% of diabetes, 70% of heart disease, and 60% of cancer cases are directly related to either obesity, sedentary lifestyle, tobacco use, or drinking outside of moderation. For the amount of people that whine about drug prices, insurance costs, and drug bills, 1 out of 3 americans is overweight, something like 1 in 5 americans over 50 or 60 or something are diabetic or prediabetic (each case of diabetes costs an average of $10k per year in treatment and complications), and about 1 in 3 die of heart disease. People do not take personal responsibility for themselves, and they cost society a lot of money. Would you support an insurance plan that would be lower cost, but would drop your coverage if you developed a chronic disease like diabetes or something, and failed to get your weight down to a certain goal, mange you condition, etc. or maybe COPD and maybe you would have to quit smoking within 6 months, etc etc?

I had an accident with another car on the highway, road condition was icy. I traveled with 46-50 miles/hour, kept the car in my lane, followed the cars with normal distance. The other car - one lane or two lanes to the right of me hit an icy spot and crashed into the right side of my car at the door and partially the right fender. I had no damage in the front side of my car, but the front of the other car is damaged substantially. First she admitted that she hit an icy spot, but gave the police another untrue statement about the accident. No tickets were issued by the police. We both have full insurance coverage. The damages on both cars clearly indicates, that her spinning car caused the crash. I already contacted my insurance company. Is there a chance that the insurance companies will be able to work this out and her insurance company will pay for the repair on both cars? Therefore, I will not have to pay my deductible amount? Can the ins. co. override her statement if the independent investigation indicates that her car caused the accident ? Thanks for your answer.""

How do I talk to my dad about paying insurance for a car?
I'm a high school senior, preping to head off to a 4-yr. I'm trying my best to save my family money; for example: -AP classes and tests for college credit -Scholarship searching -Spending only $100 on clothes for the last 2 years -Watching my utility/electric use by not watching TV (except the Olympics!) -Taking spring/summer college classes for transferable credit (in fact, I could have graduated and received my HS diploma at the end of my Jr. year). -Getting decent grades (had a 4.2gpa this past year, my Fr. and Soph. years were not that good) So, if you add it up, I think it would be a few thousand $ that would have been otherwise spent on tuition, some amount of utility bills, and some amount on clothing. For my senior year, I plan on doing a lot of extracurricular activities so I can get into a decent university, my plan is UC Davis. I'm a cross-country runner for my HS, I plan on doing a hospital volunteer program, I am in my HS's Mock Trial team. So, I would be out and about for most of the week going to different activities. I feel I need a way of transportation instead of relying on my brother and parents. Speaking of which, my brother has a car because he goes to a community college (and for that reason, he is mature?). Now the problem: my dad feels that I am too young for a car and does not feel that I am responsible and mature enough to handle one alone without supervision. My mom is willing to buy a car for me, with a reasonable price range. But my dad does not want to pay for car insurance. My parents are divorced, and I do most of the communication between them, especially when it comes down to needing money. I have brought up the aspect of working part-time. But my parents tell me that I should focus on school. My dad tells me I should focus on school instead of a car, but I need that car so I can get to where I need to be. My dad works from 9am-7pm, so I have no way of getting to 5pm practice or getting to school at 6am unless I rely on my dad. I understand how much stress my dad goes through supporting 4 children, two of which are about to go to college... It hurts when I have to ask him for money, even to pay for SATs and AP tests... Although essential, they still cost a lot of money, and money is tight now. With $65 per college app and college apps coming up in November, I'm going to be applying to nearly 10 schools, so over half a thousand dollars thrown away as my dad states it when I asked him to pay for my second SAT. My dad will pay for my academic needs, but he won't be happy about it. It feel as though my academic potential is being held back by how much money we have. I feel bad when I succeed now, basically. So I try my best to save money, like I gave examples of above. But now, I am only 1 step away from getting being independent, transportation-wise. All I need is my dad to agree to pay for my car insurance, which is probably about $200/month. Is that selfish of me? If not, how do I talk him into paying that $200/month, or to show him that I am mature enough to drive myself around? By the way, this was a long rant because I have been thinking and stressing about this all summer.""

And יתר, advantage (11), remnant (2), left (in the sense of left over, 12), leftover (5), remain (133), rest (1), surplus (16). You can see how these two stems could have shared glosses, the very thing I have been trying to avoid to tease out differences. There is no 'theology of a remnant' in my translation. I have used the word only twice so far.  In the KJV remnant is used for 3 or 4 unrelated stems more than 90 times. This may produce an interpretation in the host language (English) that is superfluous to the intent of the guest language (if indeed there was any such intent). There are other glosses as well for these stems. I'm not at all sure I have the senses perfect. But if I am consistent, at least I have some control over the changes required if I have my mind changed. In some ways, my teasing out of differences may not make much difference since the senses overlap in English as well. Leave/left/remain are multifaceted in themselves. I could have treated this group as a single group as I have done for words indicating movement, go/walk/bring/come. Equally, I have to forgive the KJV for their overlaps whether deliberate or accidental, for their translation philosophy included the deliberate exercise of variety in glossing specifically to avoid nearby repetition of sounds, this being a literary requirement of the style of the day (I remember this from reading years ago part of a preface to the KJV). What follows is not what I remember but it is close:
An other thing we thinke good to admonish thee of (gentle Reader) that wee have not tyed our selves to an uniformitie of phrasing, or to an identitie of words, as some peradventure would wish that we had done, because they observe, that some learned men some where, have beene as exact as they could that way. Truly, that we might not varie from the sense of that which we had translated before, if the word signified the same thing in both places (for there bee some wordes that bee not of the same sense every where) we were especially carefull, and made a conscience, according to our duetie. But, that we should expresse the same notion in the same particular word; as for example, if we translate the Hebrew or Greeke word once by Purpose, never to call it Intent; if one where Journeying, never Traveiling; if one where Thinke, never Suppose; if one where Paine, never Ache; if one where Joy, never Gladnesse, &c. Thus to minse the matter, wee thought to savour more of curiositie then wisedome, and that rather it would breed scorne in the Atheist, then bring profite to the godly Reader. For is the kingdome of God become words or syllables? why should wee be in bondage to them if we may be free, use one precisely when wee may use another no lesse fit, as commodiously?
They were not married to words. But as we have seen in Hebrew poetry, the repetition of sounds is a major component in Hebrew poetry, a repetitious word game rather than a word game of variety. If that thesis is true and I think it has merit, a translation in a host language that misses repetition is obviously in conflict with an original use of words in the guest language. So - removed from any absolutist position on the meaning of words, but allowing beauty, sound and music, let us continue with verses 4 and 5, a terse play on the word שׁוב, turn, return, occurring 5 times in fewer than 25 words (tch tch very bad style). Backsliding? Maybe. Maybe turncoat would work, but I think just turning and returning works here. JB misses this entirely and uses apostasy for שׁוב. Astonishing! The problem with the KJV stance is that it gives too much room for political and religious control over the sense of the text. Perhaps they were more married to the words of their cultural organization and privilege than they would like to admit or were even able to see. Fake news is not a new phenomenon.
Jeremiah 8 Fn Min Max Syll בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֣יא נְאֻם־יְהוָ֡ה יוֹצִ֣יאוּ אֶת־עַצְמ֣וֹת מַלְכֵֽי־יְהוּדָ֣ה וְאֶת־עַצְמוֹת־שָׂרָיו֩ וְאֶת־עַצְמ֨וֹת הַכֹּהֲנִ֜ים וְאֵ֣ת ׀ עַצְמ֣וֹת הַנְּבִיאִ֗ים וְאֵ֛ת עַצְמ֥וֹת יוֹשְׁבֵֽי־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֖ם מִקִּבְרֵיהֶֽם 1 At that time, an oracle of Yahweh, they will bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his nobles, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, from their tombs. 3d 4B 54 וּשְׁטָחוּם֩ לַשֶּׁ֨מֶשׁ וְלַיָּרֵ֜חַ וּלְכֹ֣ל ׀ צְבָ֣א הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲהֵב֜וּם וַאֲשֶׁ֤ר עֲבָדוּם֙ וַֽאֲשֶׁר֙ הָלְכ֣וּ אַֽחֲרֵיהֶ֔ם וַאֲשֶׁ֣ר דְּרָשׁ֔וּם וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר הִֽשְׁתַּחֲו֖וּ לָהֶ֑ם לֹ֤א יֵאָֽסְפוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א יִקָּבֵ֔רוּ לְדֹ֛מֶן עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָ֖ה יִֽהְיֽוּ 2 And they will unfold them to the sun and to the moon, and for all the host of the heavens whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have searched out, and whom they have worshiped. They will not be gathered and they will not be entombed, for compost over the face of the ground they will be. 3d 4C 53 22 וְנִבְחַ֥ר מָ֙וֶת֙ מֵֽחַיִּ֔ים לְכֹ֗ל הַשְּׁאֵרִית֙ הַנִּשְׁאָרִ֔ים מִן־הַמִּשְׁפָּחָ֥ה הָֽרָעָ֖ה הַזֹּ֑את בְּכָל־הַמְּקֹמ֤וֹת הַנִּשְׁאָרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִדַּחְתִּ֣ים שָׁ֔ם נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת 3 And death will be chosen over life for all the residue of any who are still here from this evil family, in all the places of any who are still here where I banished them, an oracle of Yahweh of hosts. 3e 4C 27 22 וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הֲיִפְּל֖וּ וְלֹ֣א יָק֑וּמוּ אִם־יָשׁ֖וּב וְלֹ֥א יָשֽׁוּב 4 And you say to them, Thus says Yahweh, Will they fall and not arise? If it has turned, then will it not return? 3e 4C 20 7 מַדּ֨וּעַ שׁוֹבְבָ֜ה הָעָ֥ם הַזֶּ֛ה יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם מְשֻׁבָ֣ה נִצַּ֑חַת הֶחֱזִ֙יקוּ֙ בַּתַּרְמִ֔ית מֵאֲנ֖וּ לָשֽׁוּב 5 Why does this Jerusalem people turn a perpetual turning? They are resolute in deceit. They will not return. 3d 4B 19 12 הִקְשַׁ֤בְתִּי וָֽאֶשְׁמָע֙ לוֹא־כֵ֣ן יְדַבֵּ֔רוּ אֵ֣ין אִ֗ישׁ נִחָם֙ עַל־רָ֣עָת֔וֹ לֵאמֹ֖ר מֶ֣ה עָשִׂ֑יתִי כֻּלֹּ֗ה שָׁ֚ב בִּמְר֣וּצָתָ֔ם כְּס֥וּס שׁוֹטֵ֖ף בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה 6 I paid attention and I heard. They did not so speak. There was no person sighing over its evil, saying, What have I done? Everyone turned to their own racing like a horse charging into the battle. 3e 4C 26 15 גַּם־חֲסִידָ֣ה בַשָּׁמַ֗יִם יָֽדְעָה֙ מֽוֹעֲדֶ֔יהָ וְתֹ֤ר וְסִיס֙ וְעָג֔וּר שָׁמְר֖וּ אֶת־עֵ֣ת בֹּאָ֑נָה וְעַמִּ֕י לֹ֣א יָֽדְע֔וּ אֵ֖ת מִשְׁפַּ֥ט יְהוָֽה 7 Even a stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and a turtledove, and a crane, and a thrush, they keep the time of their coming, but my people do not know the framework of Yahweh. 3e 4C 26 11 אֵיכָ֤ה תֹֽאמְרוּ֙ חֲכָמִ֣ים אֲנַ֔חְנוּ וְתוֹרַ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה אִתָּ֑נוּ אָכֵן֙ הִנֵּ֣ה לַשֶּׁ֣קֶר עָשָׂ֔ה עֵ֖ט שֶׁ֥קֶר סֹפְרִֽים 8 How do you say we are shrewd, and the instruction of Yahweh is with us? Nevertheless, behold, for falsehood he acted, the stylus of the falsehood of scribes. 3e 4C 18 14 הֹבִ֣ישׁוּ חֲכָמִ֔ים חַ֖תּוּ וַיִּלָּכֵ֑דוּ הִנֵּ֤ה בִדְבַר־יְהוָה֙ מָאָ֔סוּ וְחָכְמַֽת־מֶ֖ה לָהֶֽם 9 Ashamed are the shrewd, dismayed, but they are removed. Behold, in the word of Yahweh, they refused, so what is shrewdness for them? 3e 4C 13 15 לָכֵן֩ אֶתֵּ֨ן אֶת־נְשֵׁיהֶ֜ם לַאֲחֵרִ֗ים שְׂדֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙ לְי֣וֹרְשִׁ֔ים כִּ֤י מִקָּטֹן֙ וְעַד־גָּד֔וֹל כֻּלֹּ֖ה בֹּצֵ֣עַ בָּ֑צַע מִנָּבִיא֙ וְעַד־כֹּהֵ֔ן כֻּלֹּ֖ה עֹ֥שֶׂה שָּֽׁקֶר 10 Therefore I will give their wives to others, their fields to those who dispossess them, for from the least and to the greatest, all are extorting gain. From prophet and to priest, all have done falsehood. 3e 4C 34 13 וַיְרַפּ֞וּ אֶת־שֶׁ֤בֶר בַּת־עַמִּי֙ עַל־נְקַלָּ֔ה לֵאמֹ֖ר שָׁל֣וֹם ׀ שָׁל֑וֹם וְאֵ֖ין שָׁלֽוֹם 11 And they have healed the shattering of the daughter of my people, with denial, saying, Peace, peace. And there is no peace. 3e 4C 19 4 הֹבִ֕שׁוּ כִּ֥י תוֹעֵבָ֖ה עָשׂ֑וּ גַּם־בּ֣וֹשׁ לֹֽא־יֵבֹ֗שׁוּ וְהִכָּלֵם֙ לֹ֣א יָדָ֔עוּ לָכֵ֞ן יִפְּל֣וּ בַנֹּפְלִ֗ים בְּעֵ֧ת פְּקֻדָּתָ֛ם יִכָּשְׁל֖וּ אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה 12 Were they dried up when they did abomination? even ashamed? They were not ashamed and their humiliation they do not know. Therefore they will fall with the fallen. At the time of their visitation they will stumble, says Yahweh. 3c 4B 9 33 אָסֹ֥ף אֲסִיפֵ֖ם נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה אֵין֩ עֲנָבִ֨ים בַּגֶּ֜פֶן וְאֵ֧ין תְּאֵנִ֣ים בַּתְּאֵנָ֗ה וְהֶֽעָלֶה֙ נָבֵ֔ל וָאֶתֵּ֥ן לָהֶ֖ם יַעַבְרֽוּם 13 For havoc I will gather them, an oracle of Yahweh. There are no grapes on the vine, and there are no figs in the fig tree, and the leaf withers, and I will give them what passes away. 3c 4B 10 29 עַל־מָה֙ אֲנַ֣חְנוּ יֹֽשְׁבִ֔ים הֵֽאָסְפ֗וּ וְנָב֛וֹא אֶל־עָרֵ֥י הַמִּבְצָ֖ר וְנִדְּמָה־שָּׁ֑ם כִּי֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֤ינוּ הֲדִמָּ֙נוּ֙ וַיַּשְׁקֵ֣נוּ מֵי־רֹ֔אשׁ כִּ֥י חָטָ֖אנוּ לַיהוָֽה 14 To what end are we sitting? Gather yourselves and let us enter into the enclosed cities and be mute there, for Yahweh our God has muted us and has made us drink the waters of gall, for we have sinned against Yahweh. 3d 4C 23 23 קַוֵּ֥ה לְשָׁל֖וֹם וְאֵ֣ין ט֑וֹב לְעֵ֥ת מַרְפֵּ֖ה וְהִנֵּ֥ה בְעָתָֽה 15 We waited for peace and there was no good, for a time of healing, and behold, alarm. 3e 4B 8 10 מִדָּ֤ן נִשְׁמַע֙ נַחְרַ֣ת סוּסָ֗יו מִקּוֹל֙ מִצְהֲל֣וֹת אַבִּירָ֔יו רָעֲשָׁ֖ה כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיָּב֗וֹאוּ וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ֙ אֶ֣רֶץ וּמְלוֹאָ֔הּ עִ֖יר וְיֹ֥שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ 16 From Dan was heard the snuffling of his horses. From the voice of the neighing of his mighty ones, all the earth quaked. And they came and they devoured a land and her fullness, a city and those settled in her. 3e 4C 23 17 כִּי֩ הִנְנִ֨י מְשַׁלֵּ֜חַ בָּכֶ֗ם נְחָשִׁים֙ צִפְעֹנִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵין־לָהֶ֖ם לָ֑חַשׁ וְנִשְּׁכ֥וּ אֶתְכֶ֖ם נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה 17 For note me well sending among you snakes, anaconda that are without their conjurer, and they will bite you, an oracle of Yahweh. 3e 4A 22 9 מַבְלִ֥יגִיתִ֖י עֲלֵ֣י יָג֑וֹן עָלַ֖י לִבִּ֥י דַוָּֽי 18 Why would I smile? against me sadness, against me is my heart of melancholy. 3e 4B 8 6 הִנֵּה־ק֞וֹל שַֽׁוְעַ֣ת בַּת־עַמִּ֗י מֵאֶ֙רֶץ֙ מַרְחַקִּ֔ים הַֽיהוָה֙ אֵ֣ין בְּצִיּ֔וֹן אִם־מַלְכָּ֖הּ אֵ֣ין בָּ֑הּ מַדּ֗וּעַ הִכְעִס֛וּנִי בִּפְסִלֵיהֶ֖ם בְּהַבְלֵ֥י נֵכָֽר 19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from the land of those who are far off. Yahweh is not in Zion? Her king is not in her? Why have they grieved me with their graven images and alien futility? 3d 4B 25 16 עָבַ֥ר קָצִ֖יר כָּ֣לָה קָ֑יִץ וַאֲנַ֖חְנוּ ל֥וֹא נוֹשָֽׁעְנוּ 20 Harvest has passed, finished is summer, and we, we are not saved. 3e 4B 8 8 עַל־שֶׁ֥בֶר בַּת־עַמִּ֖י הָשְׁבָּ֑רְתִּי קָדַ֕רְתִּי שַׁמָּ֖ה הֶחֱזִקָֽתְנִי 21 Over the shattering of the daughter of my people I am broken.
