So on my old blog, I would occasionally give my unsolicited thoughts and opinions on shows or movies (usually ones that either had a lot of hype or were just straight up bad). I just watched "365 Dni" aka "365 Days" because I had a couple hours to kill so be prepared for mental spewage because it's my blog and I do what I want.

Wait I thought this was a romantic thriller. They're talking about human trafficking. This is already gross.

Michele Morrone is very good looking though and I've been obsessed with his face for the last few weeks.

This whole conversation about these girls getting trafficked is gross.

Yes. Let's be extra pervy during a pervy business meeting and check out the girl on the beach with our binoculars.

Hold up. Why did they get shot?

I don't know what's going on. Freaking Italian mob, man.

This song about being addicted to someone that's playing while people are bleeding out on the ground seems tonally inappropriate.

So far we've seen Italy, San Francisco, and Warsaw. I didn't know we were globetrotting.

And we switched from Italian to Polish to English. Sure.

Yeah. Michele Morrone could get it. Also he survived being shot.

Is that the same girl from the beach? Probably. Why not.

They do a lot of spinning shots and it's making me dizzy.

So far this is a very expensive foreign Lifetime movie.

Yes. Because everyone takes boob shots in the back of their Uber while sober.

Homegirl's boyfriend looks like they picked him out of a burly henchman catalogue.

Yup. Michele Morrone is stupid hot. Even just sitting down he's hot.

Oh good. We've transitioned from potential human trafficking to cocaine.

Well damn. This is fairly explicit for a "mainstream" film.

Cool. I share a name with the female lead.

Still don't know the male lead's name yet.

Everybody in this movie is either stupid hot or stupid ugly. There is no middle ground.

Yes, Michele. Creeping up on this girl on a darkly lit path saying "Are you lost, little girl?" is definitely going to win you all the points.

I don't understand why writers insist on putting powerful women with schlubby dudes. It's tired and cliched and inevitably leads to annoying arguments.

Yes. Let's wander around Sicily at night all alone. That's totally safe.

And my point is proven.

I hope if I ever get kidnapped and holed up in some random ass castle in Sicily my makeup looks as good as Laura's.

So this just turned into a horror movie.

Called it about Laura being the girl on the beach.

Yeah, that's not creepy at all, dude. Let's obsess over a girl we might have hallucinated for five years and then kidnap her and give her a year to fall in love with you. Solid plan.

This is literally making my skin crawl.

Ah yes. "I won't do anything without your permission" he says as he literally grabs and sexually assaults her.

So basically this is trying to be "erotic thriller, Beauty and the Beast style".

Her pulling a gun on him has been the best thing so far.

I'm so confuuuuuused.

That's nothing new though. I live in a state of perpetual confusion.

Why the hell is there a man chained to a rock in this dude's basement.

I have many concerns.

Also his name is Massimo so that's good to know.

Besides the man chained in his basement his house is pretty cool.

Just kidding the man is no longer chained in the basement since he now has a bullet in his head.

I'm only 30 minutes in and this has been a wild ride.

"I'm not a bag of potatoes you can move without my permission!" is very Polish and as somebody who's family is Polish I'm living for it.

I'm going to need him to stop laying hands on her.

Whoever chose the music made some odd choices.

He keeps watching her sleep and it's creepy.

And there he goes grabbing her again.

I do like that she's giving him a lot of attitude and isn't putting up with his shit but you know that's going to change 🙄

Yes. Go spend all his money, honey.

He is disrespectful as hell.

I don't care how hot he is, he's creepy and abusive and I don't like it.

"I am not the monster you think I am." You would be incorrect, my dude.

Like, she went on vacation with her boyfriend and friends, and I can't for the life of me figure out why they aren't looking for her unless they explained it and I missed it.

Pierogi. The most romantic of Polish foods.

"I do business." He's a drug trafficker, honey. Run away. Run far, far away.

Honestly I would turn this off if I wasn't so far in it already.

I feel like I have to see this trainwreck through to the end.

"I would like you to show me how to be gentle for you" would be more appealing if HE LITERALLY HAD NOT KIDNAPPED, ABUSED, AND ASSAULTED HER.

Ew. Did he sneak in her bed while she slept?

One good dinner and now she's all "let's gently touch him in bed and take a shower in front of him" 🙄

Why is this bathroom set up like a communal shower? It's weird.

Although to be fair if he hopped in the shower with me I'd check him out too 🤷

They tied her to the seat in the plane. What the hell.

I'm so uncomfortable.

Ugh. Why. Why is this a thing.

So far this has been creepier than 50 Shades and 50 Shades is creepy as hell.

Hold on. I thought they were at a hotel. Why does he have a giant ass portrait of himself hanging up in his room?

I. Am. Uncomfortable.

Oh man. He has a nice butt.

Don't get distracted by the pretty man, Laura.

Onscreen Laura too.

He asked her to teach him how to be gentle, then handcuffs her to the bed and makes her watch while he hooks up with another woman.

Yup. Doing a great job there, Massimo.

Cool I'm back to being confused.

She can't walk in her heels and I'm dying laughing. Same, girl, same.

"What are you wearing?" "A couple thousand euro of yours." GET HIM.

Now we've entered the Scarface phase of the movie because there was just a copious amount of cocaine snorted.

Where did he pull two guns from??

So I don't know how long she's been with him at this point. I feel like that's something that needs to be clarified.

And she fell off the boat.

Of course she did.

Oh man. Why's he gotta be so cute with his fluffy curls and stubble and tattoos?

Also I'm pretty sure he only owns like two shirts because he's walked around shirtless for most of this movie.

We are now in the part of the movie where we've screamed awful things at each other and now we're going to bone it out.

All over the boat. Like every surface of the boat they have now banged on.

If y'all were dissatisfied with the raunchiness of the 50 Shades series, this is the movie for you because it far surpasses that.

Of course they're going to a ball. They always do in these rich people movies.

Makeover montage because why not.

Oh no. He's hot in a tux.

It always cracks me up in movies when people just automatically know how to ballroom dance like professionals without any training.

Every time I think this movie can't get more cliched, it does.

Why do I do this to myself? Why do I subject myself to bad movies?

I take it back. I know why I did it this time. The reason is 6'2" and looks damn good in a button up shirt.

"I thought you were kidnapped!" She was. You were a good friend for thinking that.

The switching between languages is giving me whiplash. It's very jarring going from Italian to Polish to English to Polish to Italian.

Her friend seeing through her bullshit is giving me life.

Also loving the fact that she's acknowledging she has Stockholm Syndrome. But because it's a movie it won't change anything.

Another makeover montage? So soon?

Also her friend keeps calling Massimo Mozzarella and it's hilarious.

That wig looks like it's about to crawl off her head.

Of course the ex shows up.

Honestly just knee him in the nuts and be done with it.

Why does Massimo think it's okay to break into her apartment and wait in the dark for her?

I don't know who thought using a blue light for her apartment was a good idea but it just looks like they're in a giant tanning booth.

"I don't need 365 days... Because I love you." GIRL NO.

I mean it was inevitable but it's still gross.

Yup. That's normal. Let's marry our kidnapper.

I want to snatch that wig off her head.

"What are your intentions with our daughter?" You don't want to know what his intentions are with your daughter, sir.

I will say that I love all her clothes in this movie.

Also she's pregnant. Calling it right now.

Called it.

Also good to know they've only known each other two months and they're going to get married and have a baby 👀

Her best friend is my favorite character and is the only likeable person in this whole movie.

Plot twist. Shocker.

This is so dramatic.

I will give them credit for the ending because that was unexpected.

In summary, this movie is trash and while the "love" scenes are pretty hot, it's not worth the time or effort that I clearly put into this.

Heal Me - Kujo Jotaro x Fem!Reader

"You know...I kinda have a bad feeling about this place...But I don't quite know why." I mutter softly as I grip Jotaro's sleeve for some reassurance. "Nothing bad's gonna happen. We just defeated the last Stand User, it will be a while until the next one appears." he explained, sure of himself. "I hope you're right...But Nami's getting restless too. I don't know...Maybe we should group up with the others, don't you think?" I suggested, but he merely shook his head. "This is our task, we can't fail it. Besides, there's no enemy I can't beat, so stay calm." Jotaro's voice was on the border of calm and annoyed, so I decided to shut up for now, despite the electrifying anxiety surging through my veins.

We continued walking through the desert, only the two of us, until my Stand's ears picked up a fast-moving threat moving towards us, which Jotaro didn't pick up.

"Jotaro, look out!" I scream as I made Nami push him out of the way, and the next thing I know, I'm sent flying meters away from the one I was paired up with. "Katrina!" his voice called out, as I struggled to get up, feeling sore all over. "Tsk...To think you'd pick up that I was here, despite my speed...How annoying!" an unfamiliar voice, the one of the enemy, roared in rage. "Be careful, Jotaro! He's dangerous!" I warned the boy as I rushed to his side, all while healing my injuries. "Yeah, I can see." he grunted, glaring at the smug man in front of him. "What do you want with us? Are you one of Dio's minions?" Jotaro asked, to find out the motives of this villains. "Well, of course I am! Dio is the reason I'm alive, and I live now only to serve him! And what Lord Dio wants the most is to get rid of the Joestar line! And what a pleasant surprise it is to find you, Jotaro! You will have the honour of being the first to die, and by my own hands, nonetheless!" the enemy laughed maniacally, while Jotaro could only grit his teeth in annoyance at the patronising tone he was receiving. "Yare Yare Daze...Can't get a time off..." he sighed as he got Star Platinum out and started throwing punches at the villain's enemy Stand, that stood in front of the man like a shield "Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!" his battle cry echoed on repeat, but by the time he stopped, we looked at the enemy, who had a gaping hole in his stomach...But the instant Jotaro stopped attacking, his abdomen regenerated rapidly, making the both of us gasp. "What, you thought I'd come here with a stupidly weak Stand that you could beat with your "Ora Ora"s? No, Jotaro, not a chance! Your Stand can't beat me, David Alhambra!" the enemy's laugh became even more condescending and irritating, making Jotaro try to punch him again, but to no avail, for he'd just regenerate again and again. "Hey...Mr. Alhambra...I'm sorry to ask such a weird question, but...Do you know any bit of Biology?" my shy voice spoke up for the first time in a long time. "Huuuuuh? You? You're speaking to me? A little worm like you? Useless? Who hasn't helped the party at all the whole journey? You, little girl, are just a burden for them, and yet, you dare speak to ME?!" his yelling was so creepy that it made me flinch and tremble slightly, but I stood my ground "So, you mean to say that you know nothing about Biology, am I right?" I ask once again, my voice firmer. "Tsk...Well, if you're that curious, I am rather knowledgeable in the Reproduction System, if you're interested. You're not that bad looking...But until then, I have to kill someone. Hear that, Jotaro? I'm gonna steal your pretty little girlfriend and have my way with her. Bet I can show her how a man can make her feel...Unlike you, Jotaro!" the enemy smirked creepily as he cast a glance towards me. "Yeaahhhh...I have a better idea..." I mutter as I prepare myself for the worst. Jotaro went to attack David once again, very irritated for having disrespected me, but as before, he couldn't do much damage. “Can't you see it's futile? Jotaro, stop trying, and I'll give you a painless death!" Alhambra yelled, and as he readied himself to throw a punch towards Jotaro, I rushed in front of him, parrying the punch with my crossed arms, slamming into Jotaro's chest. "Jotaro...Please let me handle this. Mr.Alhambra, I will be your opponent." I rub my forearm slightly, before stepping towards him. "Katrina...!" Jotaro's voice called out, but I merely shook my head. "Do you trust me, Jotaro?" I ask, turning my head slightly, making eye contact for a little while, something I've never been able to do before. "...Yare Yare Daze. Very well, I'll wait here." he tipped the front of his hat, and that's how I knew he fully believed in me. "You know...Whenever you'd say that, I'd automatically feel at ease, because I knew you had everything under control. Thank you for believing in me. I won't disappoint you." I smiled softly at him, before turning my gaze to the enemy. "You know...I always hated fighting women...Y'all are so weak and whiny...But fine, be that way. Maybe you want to make sure I'm a man worth it. Very well, prepare yourself." he laughed once again, as I jumped out of the way so our fight wouldn't get anywhere near Jotaro.

From then on, I let out my Stand, Nami, and touching our hands together, we fuse, letting her powers go through me, droplets of water floating around, despite the never-ending desert surrounding us. I rushed forward, ready to strike, and I kept punching his stomach over and over again, but he wouldn't budge... And he was laughing. "Your punches tickle me, woman. What are you trying to do? Tickle me to death? Come on, I want a real challenge, not a cat fight!" his voice roared with anger all of a sudden, and all of a sudden, I find myself flying once again, a kick on the stomach sending me far away.

My breath was taken away, and I was struggling to find oxygen, all whilst coughing blood and clutching my stomach, barely able to get up.

"What is it, little girl? Need Daddy to help you up?" he mocked me, prowling towards me like a predator towards his prey. "Maybe it will be you who needs help getting up soon..." I mutter as I finally managed to get up and stay in a fight-stand.

It was difficult fighting through the aching pain that was burning my muscles, but I lunged myself towards him, punching the same spot once again,counting the number of times I was able to touch him, which really seemed to annoy him, for he punched my face this time, making me fall to the ground once again.

"Honestly, is this what you want to do? Piss me off? Now you're all messed up and ugly! How lame!" he groaned, kicking my ribs harshly. "Come on, get up! Get up! You really piss me off, woman! I HATE weaklings!" David screamed once again, kicking me repeatedly to the ground, before he turned around harshly, striding towards Jotaro. "Heh...This is fun..." I cough, seeing the blood all over the sand around me, as I struggled to get up. "Huuuh? You're still getting up?" he sneered at me, but I could only smirk in amusement. "My plan is almost done...I just need...1 more..." I coughed up a bit, before channeling my powers to rush in front of Jotaro, as the enemy was going to attack him.

I was drained of all physical power, not exactly used to fighting with my own body, but it had to be done- The last punch I managed to land on his stomach was more of a soft touch, as my energy was drained, but I was able to say one last thing, as I looked up at him with a bloody smirk.

"50."

"Huuuuuh? 50? What the hell is that about? What, you're happy you managed to touch me so much, or what?" he was so angry...So so very angry...But he had no way of defeating me anymore. "Remember when I asked if you knew Biology? Well, if you didn't know, cells have this ability to regenerate for a set number of times, before they stop doing that altogether. Your Stand is able to regenerate your wounds faster, but you aren't Dio, a Vampire, so your cells are still human. Basically, your cells can regenerate 50 times at a time only before they die. It's called a set death." I chuckled condescendingly as I raise my gaze towards him, panting for air. "Yeah, I know that, so what?!" he roared at me, but I stood my ground. "You say my powers are useless in a fight...Well, I suppose that's true, to some extent, but my power is basically a healing water type...And it accelerates mitotic cellular regeneration. Which, if you didn't realise that by now, I touched you 50 times in the same spot so you will stop regenerating that place. Pretty smart, don't you think?" I smirked, as David got so angry. "WHAT THE HELL, WOMAN, ARE YOU INSANE?! YOU BITCH, YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME WITH SOME CHEAP TRICKS LIKE THAT?! I'LL FUCKING CRUSH YOU!!" he jumped to lunge at me, but I stepped forward, leaning backwards dramatically, as I created two big water serpents from my hands that sprung through his stomach, impaling him. "Heh...Well, I guess I kinda lied. I wouldn't come here unless I was able to fight. I would feel bad if I were to drag these guys down, you know? But hey, you'll die now, so guess what, you got defeated by your own ego. Toodles!" I chuckled as I let the water disappear, as he fell down on the sand, lifeless. I slowly walked towards him, checking for a pulse, and when I found none, I got up and went next to Jotaro, smiling softly. "Well...I guess this was a bit messies than I hoped for, but it did the trick, right?" I let out an amused breath, as he shook his head. "Yare Yare Daze...You really are something...Come here." he sighed, taking out a napkin from his pocket, and putting a hand on my face, while he wiped the blood from my face with the other. "Thank you, Jotaro. You really are the best." I give him a close-eyed smile, putting my hand over his, but the thing that shocked me most was...A kiss on my forehead, which made me snap my eyes open in shock, my cheeks getting gradually rosy. "Let's get you fixed up, you've done more than enough for today. Well done, Kat. Thank you." Jotaro said simply as he picked me up bridal style, which made me feel so shy all of a sudden. "Y-You don't have to...! I-I can walk a-and I can heal myself, d-don't worry about me!" I stuttered, hiding my face with my hands. His only response was a soft chuckle, and knowing I couldn't argue, I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck, leaning my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes, feeling at ease with him near me.

It didn't take long for us to get back to the hotel, and reaching my room, he puts me gently on the bed, taking the first aid kit.

"Come on...That's unnecessary. It'll be much faster and efficient my way." I scratch the back of my head awkwardly. "Honestly...Can't I get an excuse to stay around you?" he flicked me on the forehead, with the ghost of a smile plastered on his face. "You don't need an excuse. You can hang around me with no reason at all, and it will still be enjoyable. I-I mean, not that I'm trying to sound patronising or anything!" I freak out slightly, realising how bad it sounded, but his response was...Shocking. I felt his rough hands on my face drawing me closer, as he shut me up with a gentle kiss. "You talk too much" he muttered, his gaze shifting slightly to the size, as his pale cheeks got a shade pinker. "And you talk too little." I smiled softly, looking down at my lap, before making eye contact with him. When we got past the original shyness, we lay in bed, his arm wrapped around me, as my head leaned on his chest, and I could finally relax after such a long day. And feeling Jotaro's warmth and his heart's rhythmic beating made me feel so at ease that I didn't realise when I fell asleep in him embrace.

The formal dining area was in silence; neither Arnais nor the rest of his family members gathered at the table for breakfast felt the need to converse since the anniversary of Desmond’s death was looming over them greater than an incoming tsunami. Dessalina and her boyfriend Tristian had flown in for moral support for the upcoming week, but his sister’s presence only seemed to irk a grief-stricken Arnais even more. He used the silver fork to stabbed at the untouched ackee and saltfish before Dessalina decided to break the painful silence. “Papa Tommy has decided to retire.” Arnais posture straightened as his ears perked up. He knew one day it would be his turn to claim the Kelly’s throne but he didn’t think that day would come so soon. He hadn’t even made it to his eighteenth birthday yet. His lips parted but Dessalina continued with her short speech. “And he is passing the business down to Tristian and I.” Arnais fork dropped as his mother cast her eyes down to her plate. Ava had stopped trying to steer her children away from that dangerous lifestyle a long time ago. There was no use in fighting with their destiny but it didn’t stop her shoulders from slumping in defeat as she forced a quick congratulations to the couple before focusing back on her dinner. Arnais, on the other hand, was livid. His thoughts flashed back to the body he caught at fifteen, that Dessalina had promised would secure his future in the empire.

𝕷𝖔𝖓𝖉𝖔𝖓 𝕰𝖓𝖌𝖑𝖆𝖓𝖉

“ιт'ѕ мy lιғe, ι'd lιĸe тo welcoмe y'all тo "тнe arnaιѕ ѕнow"

Arnais could still taste metallic on the tip of his tongue as his eyes drifted to the middle-aged man formerly known as Connor spread out on a plastic tarp, naked as the day he was born. “You did what you had to do to protect our family and our legacy.” His grandfather, Papa Tommy, thick Dublin’s accent haven’t reached Arnais’ ear but the sound of a powerful electric chainsaw coming to life did. Nevertheless,his glazed browns eyes stared straight ahead, frozen on the corpse. Arnais was in a state of shock,not because he had just taken a life, but because how easy it came to him. He was numb as he plunged the machete into Connor’s skull with so much force that the blade split his head open, exposing brain matter. He had almost let out a sardonic chuckle once Connor took his last breath before clasping onto the tarp.

Arnais didn’t enjoy the act of killing but the rush was intoxicating. It was like chasing the white horse for the first time and he’d gotten a blissful high. But like every drug, that adrenaline had ran out sending him crashing down as he watched his grandfather starting to rip away the flesh of Conner’s neck as the saw tore at his hyoid bone. For once he had felt in control, but that was short-lived as the male’s head started to detach from his shoulder. The reality of what he had done punched him right in the gut. He dropped to all fours, spewing up the bangers and mash he eaten for dinner. He could feel someone’s stare burning a hole in the back of his head. He slightly turned, connecting with his sister’s disgusted gaze. She looked at him like he was the weakest thing to cross her path. Any sympathy Arnais had for the dead associate vanished. Vacancy consumed his features as he stood back to feet, wiping the sick away from the corner of his lips. Some part of him had hoped his sister would comfort him but she was cold as always.

It still angered him because he had committed the deadly sin in her honor. Connor was a thieving mole who had been caught red-handed by Dessalina. He threatened to go to the authorities on her and the rest of the Kelly family and soon he found himself in one of the many infamous slaughterhouses Papa Tommy had across Europe. Dessalina was the one to put the machete in Arnais’ hand before urging him on. When he resisted, she started to belittle him making Arnais act out of rage. Now Connor was dead. “Stop being such a bitch, Arnais! His death was his own fault!” That’s what Arnais’ sister would tell him when he couldn’t sleep that night. That’s what he continues to tell himself to this present day.

“reмeмвer wнen daddy dιed and yoυ ѕaιd yoυ wιѕнed ιт waѕ мe? well gυeѕѕ wнaт, ι aм dead, dead тo yoυ aѕ can вe!”

Arnais was seeing red. He had sacrificed his soul just to get on his grandfather’s good side after the burning of his grandparent’s estate only for the son of a bitch to give his position to somebody else who didn’t even belong to their bloodline. Suddenly, Arnais fist slammed against the glass table causing everyone to tense. He stood to his feet, wide eyes reflected everything and saw nothing. Behind them was something more intense than normal. His defined jawline clenched which everyone knew wasn’t a good sign. “The arms business is my fucking birthright! It’s always been run by the firstborn son and it will continue to be run by the firstborn son! Ya think cause Desmond’s punk ass decided to kick the bucket early, we gonna throw away a tradition that goes back to the eighteenth century?” Both women were appalled at how Arnais addressed his deceased father but Dessalina was the first to react.

“ Yuh nuh dare chat bout fi wi fadda like that!” Dessalina growled with fire in her eyes as she rose from her chair, ready to take on her deranged brother for his blatant disrespect.

“Shut the hell up, Lina!” Arnais snapped as he charged at his sister but her boyfriend bolted out of his seat, capturing him by both of his forearms. Being restrained didn’t stop Arnais from trying to get to Dessalina. He fought against Tristian as his sharp tongue continued to cut at his sister. “I can talk about him however I want because I was there! Yall got the news over the phone but I saw it all! I didn’t get a heads up that my fadda’s guts would be spilling out that day!”

Dessalina eyes flashed with horror before the fire in them died, roaming all over Arnais agony-stricken features that were contorted with anger. She realized this wasn’t just about the family’s business, her little brother was reliving everything at once. Their father’s death and all the well-kept secret between the two of them. “Arnais don-”

"No Lina! No! I watched the flames lick his skin as he laid there motionless. I watched him scream my name just before his entire left side was crushed into nothing but flesh, blood, and metal! I watched it all Lina, every single moment so don’t sit here and tell me what I can and cannot say about my goddamn father! He didn’t even try to fight death, he let me watch him burn!“ He let out a bitter laugh, hollow like the hole in his heart. "I watched our fada burn to death and with that haunting me, you decided to coach me into becoming a murderer just like you coached me into burning down our grandparent’s house because you blamed them for his death! I-"

“Enough!” Ava screamed out as tears rapidly pooled around the rims of her eyes as her entire body shook. Immediately, an overwhelming sense of remorse made Arnais clamp his mouth shut. He’d never spoken to his mother about how her husband had perished, always choosing to spare her the gruesome memory that he relived in every nightmare. But it had to come out someday just like the truth about Dessalina. Arnais was, in fact, a pyromaniac with borderline personality disorder, but his actions weren’t always because of his impulses. Dessalina had a way of manipulating him; she knew Arnais could be vulnerable and she took advantage of that every chance she got, making him do her dirty work. Everyone thought he was the second coming of the anti-christ, including his own mother, when really it was his sister who was the deadly sociopath. She had been mentally and sometimes physically abusing Arnais throughout their childhood. The random burn marks, bruises, and cuts people use to discover across his body wasn’t from self-harm, but the doing of his own biological sister. She’d even gone as far as stuffing half a bottle of pills down his throat days after Desmond’s funeral, which was labeled his first suicide attempt at the age of nine. Years and Years he endured her torture without saying a word because all he wanted was for Dessalina to love him as much as he loved her, but finding out that she had snatched his heir from beneath his feet was the last straw. He wanted to kill her right where she stood, but Arnais couldn’t focus on his hatred for his sister when their mother was crumbling right before their eyes.

"Ma?” He whispered hoarsely but she wasn’t listening. A suffocating moment of silences went by before dead and dulled hazel eyes filled with grief meet with the three people watching her. “G-get o-out” Ava managed to stutter in a low whisper.

“ “Mummy, we need to talk about-"

She cut Dessalina off “I said get the fuck out of my house! All of you need to leave now!” Her mother’s voice made Dessalina think again about approaching her. Ava’s entire face had shut down, devoid of all emotions but grief as her bottom lip quivered.

Defeated, Arnais ripped himself from Tristian’s hold and retreated out the door and to his car, mentally beating myself up for lashing out while his mother was present. He started driving aimlessly around Beverly Hills. His breathing was erratic and forceful, filling the silence in the car with whimpers that slowly turned into sobs. He pulled into a random parking lot before he held a hand over his mouth, trying to stop his tears by blinking but it was no use. He wanted so badly to blame Dessalina for pushing him into the hole he was in, but somehow his father face clouding his vision was the burning in his veins at the moment. If Desmond hadn’t died, maybe things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did for The Kelly Family. Maybe Dessalina’s abuse wouldn’t have escalated.

Hoo boy, let me tell y'all, I just had a *conversation* at work. Here are 5 pro tips from a real life HR hiring manager.

Early bird catches the worm. Yeah, employers want to fill their positions with the best qualified candidates for the money. BUT they often need to fill jobs FAST too, so they're often willing to compromise- an Associates instead of a Bachelors, 2 years experience instead of 3. So you might tick off every box or more, but you're the last person to apply, you've got less of a chance.

Be upfront with your deal breakers. You won't work for less than $40k/year? Well, you're the one who knows your finances. You can't work Sundays? You're the one who knows your religion. The hiring manager might be able to get that $37k bumped up to $40k, or might be able to get you scheduled to work Saturdays instead of Sundays. You never know if you don't ask, and going through more than an initial interview without bringing it up is wasting everyone's time.

Save time, save money. Pretty much every employer will go by the 'time is money' idea. Unless you reach out to me to reschedule ahead of time, or have a good excuse, all you've shown me and the hiring team is that you have no respect for people's time. Why hire someone disrespectful? What if they disrespect an important client? So if you need to reschedule or you're running late: call your point of contact. Email if it's a day or two before, but call to follow up if they don't reply.

First impressions matter. Maybe you're nervous or scared- hey, that's totally normal! But you should practice. What will you say when they ask about your work experience when they asked for 4 years but you only have two? Good news- you're in the interview, aren't you? They like you enough for that. What will you say if the interviewer asks you something illegal, like your religion or ethnicity? Faking confidence goes a long way, but you also need to be prepared.

You don't have the right to be entitled, Karen. Nobody in the real world cares who your parents are. If you, at any point, act like an entitled a**hole, the interviewer is going to think: 'So this is who I'd *really* be hiring', and go back to point 1- an employer can often negotiate or bend to hire someone a little less qualified but a little better behaved.

Also, if you want a loose summary of the conversation, it's as terrible as you'd think. Lmk

'Love & Marriage: Huntsville' Star Melody Holt Takes On Fans Criticizing Her Announcing Pregnancy After Cheating Husband Revealed His 3-Year Affair

Mess.

If you haven't been watching "Love and Marriage: Huntsville," you might want to start. One of the three featured couples is going through a cheating scandal that's rocking the internets. Deets inside.

After selling themselves as the ultimate #Couplegoals throughout the first half of this premiere season of OWN's "Love & Marriage: Huntsville," fans are learning all that glitters aint gold. Or silver.

Entrepreneurial couple Melody & Martell Holt kicked off the premiere of the second half of season 1 this past Sunday with a bombshell - Martell had been having an affair with one particular woman for the last 3 years.

Magnificent Sunday! Beautiful and healthy children! Thank you Jesus for EVERYTHING! In case the guys are wondering: The fit is inspired by Connaisseur Paris in Atlanta, Ga. #LAMH

A post shared by Martell Holt (@martellholt) on Aug 11, 2019 at 9:40am PDT

While the twosome have been selling books, merch and a narrative about women empowerment, business empowerment and black love, Martell was out here doing the absolute most. And it all came to light on the show - possibly for ratings, we don't know - after the mistress "randomly called Martell's phone" recently despite Martell's claims he had cut off communication several months prior.

Chile....

On Sunday's episode, Melody paid a visit to a divorce lawyer to "explore her options" while Martell saw a therapist to get to the bottom of why he cheated - for 3 years - with a mistress he now calls "low class" and "a peasant".

Check it:

youtube

Folks love to speak down on the person THEY chose to cheat with, don't they? If you cheated with someone who is, in your eyes, less than your own wife, what does that say about you? You literally risked it all for someone you claim is a low class peasant. Aside from it being problematic that a man calls any woman these names, it's especially problematic when he says it about a woman he voluntarily put his penis in.

Mind boggling.

Just speak about yourself, sir. Berating the other woman publicly, likely just to make your wife feel better, ain't it.

Meanwhile, Melody confirms she is, in fact, pregnant. The teaser for next week's episode shows her wondering if she is.

A post shared by Melody Holt (@melodysholt) on Sep 9, 2019 at 8:00am PDT

The couple already has three kids, but fans who were once all about The Holts are seemingly not here for this new pregnancy revelation.

Melody went back and forth yesterday with one of her fans in her comment section:

1bossybeauty @melodysholt I understand that the show was recorded earlier...that being said, you seemed so committed to what you "deserved" as a wife. I believe in the covenants shared between husband, wife and God; the covenant of respect is major. On the show, @martellholt has zero respect. Even while packing, he was protesting and blaming you, for his bad behavior! Mel, I don't know you but, you move like a #boss. Martell appears to lack basic respect for his marriage. His "peasant" comment was not a good look. He seems to know the cost of THINGS but not the VALUE of people. You "deserve" a man that recognizes your value and worth. I'm am praying for you and definitely for him...he needs a "come to Jesus" moment. I wish you continued #peace & #blessings.

1bossybeauty This show may be scripted...but, he's doing a hell of a job "acting" like a #whole flamboyant double-sided ass hole. And why is he so made at his side piece? She's a #peasant and low class? But he chose her, time and again, for almost 3 years! #boybye

melodysholt @1bossybeauty mad? Who ever said that? He was in HIS therapy session and was posed a question. It behooves me how people say so much behind closed doors but when it's said out front then everybody becomes holier than thou. How many times have folks talked about how men cheat "down" versus "up" and so much more. How many women have found out about their men cheating and called the other woman alllllllll kinds of names. People just don't even know how to accept "real" anymore smh. Because they're so used to folks being "fake"

It didn't stop there:

1bossybeauty @melodysholt Sis, I don't know your husband but, on the show during his therapy session; in my unqualified opinion, there seems to be an under current of anger. Again, I don't know him. I don't understand why he would now be calling his side piece any type names when he was the one that put her in the position to disrespect his marriage. He's YOUR husband, he is suppose to protect and respect his marriage. She has no obligation to respect you, there exist no covenant between you and her. They are both to blame but, he is RESPONSIBLE for his marriage and he is RESPONSIBLE for your heart. No need to belittle her when he's almost 3 years in. My opinion. I'm not saying that I would give up on my husband but, I would make some changes. However, I respect your commitment to your family and your marriage. 17h

melodysholt @1bossybeauty As a WOMAN, I would NEVER know I'm doing wrong by another woman and be disrespectful to her on top of that. That's just not how I roll. So yes, me being the woman I am to so many other women, ALL women get my respect until they do something towards me that's awfully terrible and no longer deserve it. And yes, viewers are only seeing a piece of an ENTIRE story. But enough of that, hope you're having an amazing day and reaching some amazing goals sis

1bossybeauty @melodysholt I agree with you about how you move with regards to other women...but, all females are not women. All females don't possess respect for themselves; they have never been shown what that looks like. She is to blame for her part and he is responsible for protecting your heart and your family. I am praying for y'all because I believe in marriage and I want to see you #win. Thanks for chatting with me, you're so sweet. 17h

blissdumas @melodysholt no shade but seriously incorrect use of the word “behooves”. Behooves refers to a “duty or responsibility for someone to do something; it is incumbent upon. It befits, it is appropriate or suitable.”

melodysholt @blissdumas sweetie you know I'm urban so you gotta google that urban dictionary definition

Ha!

Whew.

As for whether Melody & Martell are still together today, in real time, it's unclear. But we do know they were happy-go-lucky in love 6 weeks ago.

Melody also commented on Martell's post about an hour ago saying she's happy "we" are back in the 'Ville:

Also, in OWN's press release with official promo shots sent to us back in August, there were no shots of Martell & Melody together. There are shots of the 3 other couples, though.

And yes, Martell's followers are letting HIM have it, too:

d.p.johnson I was all for you until you called your mistress a peasant. I get you were trying to win your wife back, but to insult someone whom you were attracted to, only makes you look bad. Her being "low class" wasn't an issue when you were with her and allegedly in love. That was wrong on so many levels. Y'all aren't THAT all that to be looking down on people. Can y'all please represent Alabama with a LITTLE decency? 2d

pylesofstyle @d.p.johnson Right?!! If she is a low class peasant what does that make him? That was hard to watch especially on a rare show that has been one of the most sophisticated and tactful shows I have ever seen. 17h

warddanita He called his girlfriend a peasant she was not a peasant when you being laying with her for the pass 3 years and still having conversation with her 2d

leenthagemini Stop saying cheating is trial and tribulations CHEATING is a fucking CHOICE 2d

That last comment though....Can we get a hand clap?!

Flaws of Avengers: Endgame

!!!!!!!S P O I L E R S!!!!!!!! (obviously)

Ok guys i am preety late to the party and all these are propably already said but i really need to get this off my chest, so beware my long bitching. Of course it was an overall really good movie, BUT as the 'end of an era' that it's supposed to be, i can't accept such blatant mistakes. I'll clarify.

Let's start with small... Plot holes, i guess:

1. Ok marvel i know you have not the slightest idea of your very own universe but please explain to me how every planet the characters visit has the exact correct composition of chemicals in its air to perfectly sustain human life and also the exact perfect gravity's acceleration for them to move on with no problem? And before y'all cringe and come for my life with 'nothing makes sense anyway, why tf do you even care about that?' i will have to argue that as long as they care enough to use physics theorems to somehow base the whole quantum nonsense, i think they should care about something so simple that even people with no physics education will find stupid.

2. Why did they need pim particles to go back in time when they could just use the time stone they had already retrieved? I honestly haven't thought of it during the movie but my brother pointed this out and honestly he was right. Ok...

3. If for Scott the time he spent in the quantum realm was 5 hours, which is in let's call it normal time 5 years, then exactly how was Steve missing for normal time a minute or so and he returned having lived at least 40 years? I mean nothing about the quantum realm makes any sense, and if it's not supposed to fine, but if you try to retionalise the irrational at least stick to the rules you yourself set, i don't know...

And now, moving on to what trully matters:

4. WHERE THE FUCK IS LOKI??? like really? They are telling me that one of the most beloved, if not the most beloved character can't be brought back to life or at least have some dialogue in his past form, but past Gamora who was later killed too (before the snap)can exist in a different timeline perfectly well with no repercussions? Really now?? so you're telling me that the russos were like 'oh loki the most loved character who had all the potential to contribute greatly to the plot? Yeah let's give him no significant role whatsoever, sure the fans will appreciate that'. I mean for fucks sake we see thor literally run outside his brother's cell, the brother he mourned, the last member of his family and he doesn't spare a single glance? And yes i know he was supposed to not interact with anyone but in the end we have that whole scene with his mother, which was of course impactfull and emotional, but let's be realistic; wouldn't it be thousand times better if the interaction was with Loki? Some funny/emotional dialogue to have thor move past his grief? Like his mother was great but she wasn't as important a character as loki and yet she gets so much more screentime than -i will repeat over and over- such a beloved and significant character as loki?

5. NATASHA'S DEATH. I will not even stick to the fact that dear nat who was constantly shat upon for 10 years, who didn't even get the chance to be her true badass self in infinity war, who is an original avengers' member and yet still hasn't got her own movie, was one of the two people to die. Let's somehow move past all this to the fact that SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. the whole battle with clint was beautiful and emotional and i love their bond but she died before the battle even began. Tony died too (let's not dwell on this pain), but saved the universe first. Everything before, during and after his death was epic. What did Natasha get in comparison? Not even a proper funeral as far as we know. Thanks a bunch Marvel.

6. Bruce banner. Ok cool that he was able to balance hulk and bunner but do we really have to him being hulk all the time? Isn't the very concept of hulk the 'i get angry i smash things'? I wanted to see banner the human being able to control banner the hulk, without them being constantly merged.

7. Why is thor so... I don't know... Disrespected? His pain induced condition is mostly treated as comedy relief and he doesn't get a single epic moment like in infinity war in the last movie we get to see him. Ok...

8. STEVE FUCKING ROGERS. Ok this was the finishing blow for me. He is one of my favourite characters. In all honesty, if he was done justice i propably wouldn't be here wasting whoever's is reading this time with my bitching. So beware level over 9000 bitching here.

- Him fighting with Thor's hammer was great and all till the point where it was practically implied that the captain we came to love can have no impact with just his power. If it's the last time we see him fight, i think his most crucial moment should have been him being 123% steve Rogers. Now most will remember him as 'the one who couldn't do anything against a thanos with no stones mind you if he didn't have the hammer'. And don't get me wrong, i know that the very fact that he even lifted it is proof of him being worthy but dude we been knew, you don't have to have him fight with it for most of the final battle. (One could even argue that he's in a way stealing Thor's spotlight)

- Why isn't he shown grieving? Of course the captain America wouldn't let his weakness show in public but on his own or to his friends i think we could have the slightest mention of bucky or sam. Everyone (apart from bruce but he didn't really lose anyone) is shown to grieve. Even carol who gets the minimum screentime is shown to grieve over fury. And before you argue about the therapy group we all know he mostly spat things he didn't believe himself for the sake of others. Ok... I don't know if I'm the one who is far-fetching this, or they did fail.

- The whole living the life he didn't get to. Ok... This is a controversial issue, I'd say. For me, i didn't really like it, but since it had to be done, i think they should have been more meticulous. I know they wanted captain out of the picture so they had to nullify him somehow. I also know that he only ever loved peggy (Who wouldn't love peggy carter?) But the way it was handled, gave me the impression that no other bond Steve has built after he was awaken and even bucky mattered enough for him not to come back old enough to barely be able to be a part of their lives. It made me feel that they were over-pushing the whole loving her thing, when it was according to previous captain America movies a thing of the past. It felt to me like everything that cap has gone through was instantly negated as if it never mattered, as if it was a mere mistake, as if he could never be happy unless he was with peggy. And they have crafted his bonds with others really good for this to seem true. I don't know how to explain it, but the pain cap has gone through has shapped who he is and negating all that as if they don't matter isn't it kinda destroying his character build up? I don't know anymore...

-But ok even if we stick to it being hella romantic, what are the consequences of that great a disturbance in time flow? Imagine the impact an alive captain whould have to everything. Or was he just a war hero and then settled down and nothing? What of Peggy's family that is implied in catws and in series agent carter? What of Bucky? Did he even care to save him from hydra's torturing that was happening then? And so on. (Shit ok even i think I'm expecting too much from them at this point.)

- JAMES BUCHANAN BARNES!!!!!! I don't know where to begin with this. Ok maybe they have forgotten what two out of three captain America movies were about? They must have. Because there is absolutely no other rational explanation as to why they fucked up this beautiful bond. The only dialogue we get is a repetition of a previous one? In what reality, whould bucky allow steve to go return the stones alone? Isn't he a man out of time too? Literally name a logical reason as to why bucky didn't even suggest to go with him. Isn't he the only one he cares about at this point? Why isn't he running to him when be comes back old but urges sam to? Like wtf? Why is steve not shown to react to him at any point when he literally broke the avengers apart for him? Why is their only interaction so emotionless compared to all other reunions? Why is marvel trying to sell their bond but gives it no attention? I DON'T UNDERSTAND! (Ok I'll just ignore canon again. I'm used to it.)

Anyway that's all i can think of right now. Propably omitting much more important issues too. All in all it was a really good movie. Tony/ steve interactions 11/10, epic final battle etc But to me those are much more crucial mistakes than the very ending should be allowed to have.
