#the om gang react
Note
How would the Kemonohito siblings react/what would they do if they got tickets to go to the movies? Like the boys get their gfs, they all arranged Jane and Vera to sit together, Zuri and Dante got roped in the plot (I see them yelling "bullshit" at every weird idea), and Nadia gets stuck sitting away from everyone between a beautiful girl and handsome dude
It was taking forever for Jane and Vera to realize their feelings, so they decided to take matters into their own hands.
Ideas were thrown, the brothers and Nadia kept arguing what should the do since they had the most experience in relationships.
Joe: "Nads, no offence but you hardly have a relationship."
Nadia, offended gasp: "I do too!"
Vince: "Your the one who said ‘I don’t want to to be tied down just yet’.”
Zuri and Dante had to sit back cause they had no relationship experience at all and just watch the sibling argued. Before long Dante suggested movies since it was easy and fun, they all agreed.
Zuri had to slap Jack on the head for suggesting they should watch some racy movie that just released. Reminding him that romance should blossom not lust. Plus they'll be bringing their girlfriends and lord knows how horny they get with them.
Vince suggested a horror movie, but Dante had to remind them that Vera could not handle horror.
"She always hides whenever you guys play Stay Alive, what makes you think she'll handle a movie?"
Malachite and Nadia suggested a romantic drama that was popular but was also shot down cause Jane might be bored with it.
Finally, Joe suggested a new indie comedy which was basically their only choice left.
With a plan in mind, they were ready.
Saturday came by fast, the J&V gang and the Kemonohito sisters, except Cece had to stay at home cause she had a raid that night and asked the to tell her when they get home, were waiting for the other four boys.
Lo and behold here they were, arms wrapped around their girlfriends.
Nadia: "Quit reminding us we're single."
Jack stuck his tongue at her.
After buying tickets and snacks, they headed to the screening room, which was admittedly packed.
Sticking to the plan, they had Jane and Vera sit together while the boys and their gfs were somewhere close to them, Zuri and Dante sat next to each other (both were internally happy). Nadia however had to sit at the back since the front was full, not that she was complaining since there was hot girl and guy on each of her sides.
The movie started. It was really good, and there were some clever jokes and quips that made even Vince chuckle.
Soon they forgot the original plan and just enjoyed the movie. Jack almost choked om popcorn and Zuri almost had soda in her nose from laughing.
Finally the ending credits rolled, though they felt like they were missing something...
A light snore snapped their attention, turning to the source they found both Jane and Vera sleeping. They sighed, another failed attempt, but at least Jane wrapped her arms around the shorter girl. After waking both them up, they headed out.
Malachite: "Hang on, where's Nadia?"
As if on cue, the door to the bathroom opened. Nadia came out, clothes askew and hair messy, followed by the people who sat next to her. She blew them a kiss stopped in front of them.
Nadia: "What's up?"
Joe: "You reek."

Hi! I just discovered your Tumblr blog, and I have an OM! request: both brothers and the side characters go see an opera with MC? I love the opera. My recommendation is Madame Butterfly, a drama with a sad ending. I cam imagine some of the boys will be crying during the emotional moments. And maybe reacting to MC crying at the end (tears of joy btw). The song "Un bel vi dremo" is also really moving. So sorry if it is very specific, I am still kinda new to Tumblr. Have a nice day!
GOING TO OPERA WITH MC
Tumblr media
Im not really an opera fan so i'll just keep it at reactions and sort of short, sorry for that i'll try better next time 😳
P.S: luke has a small heart because he is a small boy jajaja
💙LUCIFER
- understandable reaction from you
- he is a fancy man and has definetely seen a good chunk of operas in his old man life spam, he wasnt going to reject this chance with you
- he has too teared up with certain acts but dont expect him to even bring that up
- will pat your shoulder and comfort you while maybe even chukcling a bit by your soft emotions, he finds it just adorable
💛MAMMON
- is also probably crying lets not lie here he has cried in operas before
- he will hug you and cry on your shoulder while you cry on his
- he isnt even an opera fan, he only came becuase you "insisted" on him to come
- the rest of the gang will definetely tease him afterwards for it and he wont admit to have cried in the future
🧡LEVI
- "oh no wait this is just like in anime oh no-"
- did silently get upset during the act and, while he'd become a tomato in the process, will comfort you if you're crying
- he will call it "basic normie stuff" but he knows and understands why you are sad
- he was already comforting you while you were watching anime with him in other moments so this isnt new for him
💚SATAN
- not really the kind to cry but he can see where you are comming from
- yeah sure he is the avatar of wrath but sadness is pretty different from angyness so
- will comfort you and tell you it was just an actand that its ok, no need for tears
- if he can get to be your comfort pillow in the future then he'll come to operas with you more often, he likes to comfort you
💖ASMO
- be careful you'll ruin his very fancy clothes.
- but noseriously he'll hand you the tissues and will make sure your pretty face that he loves so much doesnt get ruined by the tears
- i cant tell if he would get emotional or not too but either way his make up wont get ruined
- dont be surprised if he pulls out a mini fan from his pockets or somewhere and dry yours and his tears away
❤BEEL
- its teddy bear time
- HE KNOWS, HE JUST KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL, he wont cry but he will be sad, will be even more if he sees you sad too
- he is glad to see you feel emotions and can interprete sad moments, the ending was just the cherry on top for you of course so his arms were ready beforehand
- best comfort boy mostly because he is one of my favorites but that's a convo for another day
💜BELPHIE
- ew
- this little bastard LAUGHED at some moments and he'd probably laugh at the ending too if it doesnt involve two very close loved ones being seperated
- if it were to be otherwise then he wont laugh at the ending.... but he will at the other parts
- will let you cry on his shoulder but would probably also give you that look of that one meme with the girl with shitty makeup on her just being uncomfrotable because of her sister in a car or whatever
🤎DIAVOLO
- teddy bear time part 2
- he too has seen a good amount of operas in his days and has too gotten sad at certain moments
- he wont be afraid to admit he teared up a bit during the ending, and he'll gladly offer a comfort hug to whoever needs it, not just you
- he loves your emotional personality and he loves to hug you and pat your head while comforting you, it'll be ok MC
💚BARBATOS
- understandable reaction part 2
- this man has seen some shit, an opera will, AT MOST, make he shed a single tear, but no more
- will pat your back/head if you need some comfort, but he really is a simple man
- has with him tissues or anything you might need just incase anyone were to cry during the opera though he probably knew already what would happen
🤍SIMEON
- give him a moment MC the man's is crying a river right now
- will hug you so strong it'll feel like you're the one who is comforting HIM
- he has seem maybe an opera or two but he was defientely NOT ready for this one, he could feel the knot on his stomach ever since the first sad scene
- he'd probably make luke cry just from crying himself
💓LUKE
- speaking of Luke he came because simeon and you were going
- maybe you shouldve known better because the boy is SAD
- he'll look for you or simeon for comfort after the opera is over, if he hadnt done so during the play itself
- as a child of course he would also be out here making all kinds of questions about the play, what is it with that look, huh? Did you really think a child would understand an opera?
🖤SOLOMON
- understandable reaction part 3
- will give you a pat on the back but would probably also tease you for crying
- another person who wouldve probably laughed during some sad moments, however this bastard might just lose it completely with the ending.
- He is spending more time judging the mistakes and loopholes of the opera more than the actual story and sad moments

I gotta know what Kai meeting his SO's family would be like. How would he react if one of his SO's family tried to get her to break up with him, ditch their wedding, or try to get them divorced.
I hope you guys don't get bothered with this type... sorry, if anything I will make one different or headcanons if its more complicated
Tumblr media
It has been a year and eight months already that he was dating you, and things were only getting more... intimate.
He even let you meet Pops. POPS out of all people... he didn't liked to remind that day but at least the elder liked you... a lot actually, for even telling embarrassing stories about a very young Chisaki...
He never felt his face burning with such passion after that day...
So he knew that he was taking seriously this relationship... although, there was your family as well, which he never saw once.
You did mentioned about them from time to time but actually saw or in person or in video calls? Nope. Never.
You lived alone but your parents still lived on the same country, but yet, really far away from you. But every once in a while you would visit them or for the holidays or some urgency that ghey would call you.
He tried mentioning them on the topic once in a conversation, but you merely responded with a laugh and 'they are loud and sometimes a bit too much excited with things, you wouldn't atture them for too long trust me.'
He was... slightest offended at that one. He convived with Mimic, so what is loud in comparation with that man?
Conveniently, one time where he proposed the idea of a date night you sadly had to decline, saying that you needed to go to a family gathering.
Perfect. He thought.
"Need company?" He asked while you were still tidying up your bag.
"Kai, love, I know you worry a lot about me, buy no way in hell Kurono will come with me in my family reunion. They might think he is my boyfriend instead." His eye twitched at the disgusting mention before he sighed to regain his calm.
"Stupid, I'm talking about me accompanying you." He growled while looking for his dress shirt.
You looked at him with wide eyes before smirking, lifting one of your eyebrows up.
"You? My family? Together? On a family gathering no less?" He nodded numbly, sighing in relief of seing his shirt neatly clean and ironed.
"You have the courage?" He sended you a hot glare after he put on his shirt.
"What do you mean with this? Its just a bunch of people, not some... whatever it makes someone be afraid of."
You giggled before successfully forcing your bag to close.
"Just asking, just asking." You smiled up at him, feeling that bit of anxiousness and excitement at the same time. "Only if you want to."
"If I offered is because I want to. Is simple." He went to pick his tie but you had placed your hand in front of it, preventing him to take it.
He arched an eyebrow in irritation before you explained.
"Is a barbecue... not a extremely expensive event..."
"I see. Can I at least grab my jacket if you wouldn't mind oh angel of my?" He asked sarcastically, deadpanning at your 'sure' and ignoring the blush om his cheeks when you kissed his covered nose.
~
"Look at who is!" Your sister yelled from the door, caming to give you a hug before looking up and down at yourself wjth a teasing smile.
"Didn't change the slightest!"
"Neither you sis." You sighed before Chisaki got up from his seat and closed the door of the car, looking around numbly.
Your sister gasped before pushi g you close to her to whispwr in your ear.
"Who is that?!"
"My boyfriend. Keep your eyes to your husband will you?" You said, hidding the hint of jealousy on your teasing tone of voice.
Chisaki aproached you and nodded silently at your sister who was elbowing your arm a bit too much.
Is she sick? Stop elbowing my angel.
"Uh.. this is my older sister, (S/N)." Before you could even introduce your boyfriend properly a pair of huge arms enveloped in your waist and lifted you up from behind making you yelp.
"Hey shorty! So long that you didn't appeared!" The man laughed along with you.
Chisaki's hands immediately turned to fists as his eyes went murderous looking at scene in front of him.
Who was this filth who even dared to rouch his angel in front of him in such a way? Didn't he liked living?
"Oi! You're going to break her!" The woman yelled before the man smiled teasingly at her and putted you down.
"I swear to God you're almost broked my ribcage at that hug...ouch." you whined placing a hand on your side while the man finally noticed Chisaki's presence, he also didn't miss the murderous look on his eyes.
"Yo! Taking by seing the situacion here you are her boyfriend right? Nice meeting ya!" The man went to shook hands with Chisaki before you grabbed and placed back down, noticing how your boyfriend's gloves weren't in his hands anymore.
He spoke coudly "And who are you supposed to be?"
The man laughed, ignoring Chisaki's comments, while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Older brother. (B/N) (L/N) to be more specific about it." He turned to you with a apologetic smile before pointing to one car "Sorry sis but I have to get back home."
"It's alright. I bet both of you are busy, but thanks for showing it." You smiled at both of them before they sayed their goodbyes.
Chisaki stared before looking at you in question.
"These were only my older siblings, there's one more inside... if she even came in the first place."
"They are usually this... touchy?"
You nodded before laughing at the irritated and rather regretful expression of his.
"Relax Kai." You offered your hand which he surprisingly grabbed. "They are not going to touch you if you or me say to not do it... I hope."
"You hope? How comforting. If it happens a murder here is not my fault."
"You're not killing anyone of my family!"
"It was a joke." He said monoustly before daring to step closer to that house.
It wasn't. It wasn't a joke. He was serious.
~
"Your family is the reason why the population is overloading..." he growled in disgust close to you in pure annoyance and evidently very uncomfortable about what happened.
How the fuck could so many people fit in one place and be so LOUD? LOUDER THAN MIMIC?!
He never so desperately wanted to hold hands with you in all his life because dear god if someone touched him and you weren't close...
First he met, ironically, was your father... the man first commented was about his fucking jacket. Out of all things. Not even 'who is the man?' or 'good afternoon. Who are you?; no, the bastard just preferred to say
"Honey what the hell is this friend of yours wearing it? And why the fuck this mask dude? You're part of a gang or something?"
"Yaku-" he went to correct whole trying to hold back his anger before you slapped your dad's arm.
"Dad." you growled threateningly at your father which he only asked why the irritation.
Then after he met your grandparents... your grandfather seemed... to catch pretty quick aho was your boyfriend.
"Hey aren't ya that leader from the mafia or something?" He whispered to not catch much attention. You mentally faced palmed while Chisaki nodded.
"Ah I see. So you guys still rob a lot of mon-"
"That is business talk which I guess it wouldn't be on your interest neither it is my obligation to tell you something."
Your grandma snorted at that while the old man scoffed in offense.
"I like this one dear." He heard her whisper in your ear.
...this one? Excuse him old lady he had a fucking name.
Then your mother... which had to ask his name and try to hug him as a greeting.
"Woah woah! Mom you can't just hug a person without knowing them!" You exclaimed as you luckily prevented a catastrophe.
"Well of course I don't know him since you mever actually brought him here once. So-" she returned her attention at Chisaki with a huge smile "What's your name sweety? She never spoke your name, only 'my boyfriend this' 'my boyfriend that'..."
First he had cringed at that cursed nickname, them he looked at you silently requesting your help.
"Call me Overhaul." You almost snorted at that one and at the face of your mother.
"That's... not a actual na-"
"Anyway! Come on lets see more of the house shall we?" You thankfully had dragged him out of there.
So there you both were now after MANY INTRODUTIONS, hidded in one room while he tried to ragain his calm and relaxed posture.
"You know we can get out of here, right? I know you aren't confortable with this."
"...Honestly I don't see what's the matter with my jacket for the first place and what if Overhaul was actually my name?" He mumbled more to himself than to you before breathing in and out slowly and getting up from the couch.
"I had worse than this." He commented before he standed his hand for you to get up "But I have to admit it that having you by my side is much... comforting."
"Same my devil." You smiled affectionately at him before nuzzling on his neck as he carresed your hair lovingly.
"You call him your devil?" A child's voice manifested, making you yelp and Chisaki to glare daggers at the kid.
"So that means he is evil, so you can't date my cousin." The boy pointed ul at Chisaki whose merely lifted one of his eyebrows.
"Like you have the power to decided what either me or my partner do with our lifes, midget." You frowned up at him receiving a scoff and his hold on you getting tighter.
He didn't like kids very much... never felt much comfortable about it.
"Uh... What's a midget?" He deadoanned at the kid.
Were they supposed to be this dumb or was this only one?
~
You had to go to the bathroom. You had to leave him standing awkwardly on a wall, begging silently for you to come back before someone cane over to try to have a shitty talk or even worse... a kid asking for him to play with them.
No way in hell.
The unfortunate happenrd when that father of yours approached him and sigh while holding a beer besides him, thankfully not touching.
"So... what are your intentions with my doll?" He choked on his own saliva at that.
What type of question was that?! And so out of no where no less?!
"Did you already... touch them or something?" He lowered his tone of voice while Chisaki merely lifted his eyebrow up.
Was... Was this... supposed to scare him? This?
Seriously?
"For your knowledge, this information is extremely personal and I guess you're not exactly on the right on trying to get this out of me at this failed attempt of intimidation. And just to be clear, I am only aturing this hell hole because of my angel so I would actually appreciate if you don't have those types of comments around me. That is disgusting." He said calmly yet coldly, like he was speaking in a meeting, not with the father of his partner.
Your father oppened his mouth for a moment in surprise before closing it again and repeating his actions for a while. Before laughing. ..
Was this guy sick inthe head or something?
"You have guts. I like that. Especially when my quirkless daughter need someone to protect and care for her." His eye twitched in irritation before he spotted you.
"Angel thank god you're back." He thanked the heavens at seing you again and getting out of that conversation as soon as possible.
"Huh?"
"Remember when you offered to go away? I will take that. Now." He grabbed your hand and dragved you to the door while you giggled at the wide stares.
"Bye everyone! See you soon!"
"We're not coming back for Thanksgiving." He growled to you in disgust while you whispered back, still trying to contain your laugh.
"Definitely not. It's a mess."

A decent human
Interview with Modemagasinet IN (March 2020)
How do we react when faced with something that scares us? If we are Danes, we suppress and displace, because there is no need to spoil the hygge we are so famous for. But we must dare to talk about it, says Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. And that is why he has said yes to co-star in the film about the attack on Krudttønden and the Copenhagen Great Synagogue in 2015. Because art can help us to talk about the difficult things we otherwise cannot find words for. The same can be said about community, so we Danes must also be better at looking after each other in everyday life – the same way we do when our national football team is successful.
Full text (Danish) behind the cut. Check the notes for the crappy English google translated version.
ET ORDENTLIGT MENNESKE
Hvordan reagerer vi, når vi står over for noget, der gør os bange? Hvis vi er danskere, har vi det med at fortie og fortrænge, for der skulle nødig være noget, der spolerede den hygge, vi er så berømte for. Men vi skal turde tale om det, siger Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Og det er bl.a. derfor, han har sagt ja til at medvirke i filmen om attentatet på Krudttønden og Københavns Synagoge i 2015. For kunst kan hjælpe os med at tale om de svære ting, vi ellers ikke kan finde ord for. Det samme kan fællesskab, så vi danskere skal også være bedre til at søge hinanden i hverdagen - på samme måde, som vi gør, når vores fodboldlandshold har succes.
AF Nina Ettrup FOTO Franne Voigt STYLING Graham Addinall HÅR MAKEUP Mads Stig FOTOASSISTENT William Lunde
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
Født 27. juli 1970, opvokset i Tyberg på Sydsjælland.
Uddannet fra Statens Teaterskole i 1993 – året efter fik han sit store gennembrud i ‘Nattevagten’.
Siden har han medvirket i bl.a. ‘Black Hawk Down’, ‘Manden bag døren’, ‘Den gode strømer’, ‘Supervoksen’, Oblivion’, ‘En chance til’ og ‘Selvmordsturisten’.
Han spillede rollen som Jaime Lannister i HBO-succesen ‘Game of Thrones’ fra 2011 til 2019. Serien vandt hele 59 Emmystatuetter i løbet af de otte sæsoner.
Fra 5. marts kan han opleves som politimanden Rico i ‘Krudttønden’.
Senere på året dukker han op i den amerikanske thriller ‘The Silencing’, og næste år spiller han over for Katrine Greis-Rosenthal i ‘Smagen af sult’.
Han har været gift med Nukâka Coster-Waldau og er far til to piger, Safina og Filippa.
Han er goodwill-ambassador for FN med fokus på bæredygtige udviklingsmål og rettigheder for piger og kvinder.
Ansigtet er forpint. Øjnene små sprækker. Stemmen ryster let. 'Alting forandrer sig. Hver eneste dag', nærmest muser han. Det er slet ikke det, han skal sige.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau kommer blæsende ind ad døren. Hans tykke, gyldne hår stritter, og han har ingen jakke på, fur han ‘kom lidt hurtigt ud ad døren’. Han griner og giver opmærksomt hånd rækken rundt - han er klar. Hans ligefremme facon virker næsten kontradiktorisk, når man lige har set ham i ‘Krudttønden’ - Ole Christian Madsens film om attentatet på Østerbro-spillestedet og synagogen i København for fem år siden.
Her spiller han politimanden Rico. Den eneste af filmens fire hovedfigurer, der ikke er hentet i virkeligheden. Rico er manden, som jagter Omar el-Hussein efterdrabene på Finn Nørgaard og Dan Uzan. Den eneste af de fire, som overlever, og dermed den, der fortæller historien. Men den afrapportering, han bliver bedt om at levere af sin chef, bliver lige sl meget en tankestrøm om liv, død og (u)menneske(lig)hed, som hvisler ud mellem de sammenbidte tænder. Filmen har allerede inden premieren skabt debat: Er det fur tidligt at lave en film om attentatet på København? Er det for barsk aver for ofrenes pårørende og dem, der var vidner til drabene? Kan man overhovedet lave en film om noget, som vi ikke kender de fulde konsekvenser af endnu?
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau har hørt argumenterne. Og ‘alle har ret til deres holdning’, synes han.
– Men film og kunst generelt kan tage fat i det, der er voldsomt i vores verden, og hjælpe os med at bearbejde det, siger han og fortsætter:
– Jeg kan jo kun sige, hvad jeg selv følte og tænkte, da jeg læste manuskriptet: Jeg havde ikke glemt attentatet, men jeg havde nok fortrængt det lidt, og sådan tror jeg, mange har det. For det stemmer ikke overens med den måde, vi ser Danmark på. Vi kan ikke acceptere, at det er den nye normal.
Men det er vigtigt, at vi taler om det, der foregår, siger han. Og film kan hjælpe os med at skabe et sprog for det.
– Der er ingen, der bryder sig om at bryde den gode stemning - det er nærmest blevet vores ‘trademark’ her i Danmark. Hyggen, ikke? Men det er vigtigt, at vi får svesken på disken. Og lige præcis når det handler om at gi ud og skyde pi andre mennesker, skal vi stå fast og sige ‘dét accepterer vi ikke’, siger skuespilleren.
Han understreger, at ‘det voldsomme’ jo ikke går væk af, at vi ikke taler om det. Det er en del af verden og hverdagen. Han - som nok har rejst mere end de fleste de seneste år – henviser til den øgede sikkerhed i lufthavne verden over og ‘de kæmpe sten’, som nu ligger som sikkerhedsværn på Christiansborg Slotsplads. Men også til de krige, Danmark har deltaget i, og de danske soldater, ‘der stadig er derude’.
Fire mænd ved en skillevej
‘Krudttønden’ forsøger ikke at forklare, hvorfor det, som skete, skete. Eller om det kunne have været afværget. Den fortæller den historie, vi kender fra medierne, om en mand, som tager to liv og ender med selv at blive skudt. Men den fortæller også historien om fire mænd - Omar, Finn, Dan og Rico - som alle har noget, de kæmper med, da deres skæbner forbindes.
– Jeg kunne godt lide strukturen, og jeg tror, de fleste kan identificere sig med det her med at stå ved en skillevej og skulle vælge, hvor man går hen, siger Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
– Rico har været en succes, men nu er han kommet til et punkt, hvor han skal prøve at acceptere, at der skal ske nogle forandringer, forklarer han videre - uden at det her skal røbes, hvad det er for nogle ting. hans fiktive alter ego bokser med.
– Han er pissebange. Og det kan jeg godt forstå. Men toget kører altså, og så skal du vælge, om du vil blive stående på perronen, eller du vil hoppe på. siger Nikolaj Coster-Waldau og tilføjer, at ‘forandring fryder - er det ikke det, man siger?’
I de scener, hvor Rico aflægger rapport efter attentaterne og indimellem kommer på mentale afveje, taler han om menneskelighed og det vigtige i at holde fast i den, når verden virker skræmmende, usikker og ond. Og Nikolaj Coster-Waldau er enig i, at kærligheden og fællesskabet er de bedste våben mod frygten.
– Det er en del af det at være dansk, at være reserveret. Det er jeg også selv. Men vi er nødt til at skubbe til os selv indimellem. Vi elsker jo også sammenholdet. Når der er store fudboldbegivenheder, springer vi hinanden om halsen og fester i gaderne, siger han og griner, da han erkender, at der ‘kan være lidt langt mellem snapsene’, når det gælder fodboldlandsholdets succeser.
– Men de fleste vil gerne være med. Det kunne vi også se, da Kim Larsen døde, og der var fakkeloptog gennem byen - han har jo også om nogen prædiket kærlighed og sammenhold, siger han om den folkekære sanger.
Åbne døre i USA
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau bragede igennen med ‘Nattenvagten’ for 26 år siden. Siden fik Hollywood øjnene op for danskeren og gav ham hovedrollen i serien ‘New Amsterdam’ og siden jobbet som den krigeriske Jaime Lannister i ‘Game of Thrones’ der har givet ham stjernestatus verden over. Sidste år sagde han endegyldigt farvel til den brynjeklædte ridder og otte års monstersucces og har siden lavet thrilleren ‘Domino’, dramaet ‘Selvmordsturisten’ og nu ‘Krudttønden’.
Han smiler skævt, da jeg nævner, at det ikke ligefrem er feelgood-film, og spørger, om han har haft behov for at lægge afstand til ‘Game of Thrones’ ved at lave en række alvorstunge film.
– Altså ... ‘Game of Thrones’ var jo et udstyrsstykke, og jeg har i hvert fald ikke haft travlt med at lave mere af den slags, lyder svaret, før han selv tænker videre og siger:
– Jeg bar ladet lysten drive værket.
De senere år har han lavet flere film i USA og spillet over for internationale stjerner som Tom Cruise, Jessica Chastain og Juliette Binoche. Det vil han rigtig gerne blive ved med, og nu hvor ‘Game of Thrones’ ikke længere lægger beslag på kalenderen, åbner der sig nogle muligheder.
– Det føles, som om der er et ‘moment’ i USA lige nu. Jeg får nogle møder. Og det er enormt sjovt, siger han.
Samtidig er han bevidst om, at han er ‘midt i livet, måske lidt mere endda’ og at de ting, han gerne vil, skal han rykke på nu. Det er derfor, han har lavet et produktionsselskab sammen med en ven. De er i gang med at producere en dokumentarfilm, og til efteråret skal de lave en spillefilm.
– Jeg er stor fan af dokumentarfilm, som jo også har oplevet en stor opblomstring de senere år. Det er en kliche, men det handler om, at virkeligheden ofte overgår fantasien, forklarer Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, der mener, at dokumentarfilm også kan være med til at belyse verden - både de dele af den, vi ikke kender, og dem, vi kan spejle os i.
– Jeg oplever, at verden føles fragmenteret, men også at mennesker har en enorm lyst til at være fysisk sammen. Der er en ny bevidsthed i forhold til at engagere sig politisk - det har jeg også set på tætteste hold i USA, siger han og nævner bl.a. antivåben-bevægelsen March for Our Lives, som opstod i kølvandet på endnu et skoleskyderi, denne gang på Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School i Florida i februar 2018.
Her gjorde særligt gymnasieeleven Emma Gonzáles sig bemærket, da hun gik på talerstolen og talte med både styrke og følsomhed om attentatet på sin skole.
– De her unge mennesker er meget inspirerende, siger Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, som selv er far til to store teenagepiger.
Han forsætter:
– Det er ligesom Greta Thunberg - det er jo også fuldstændig fantastisk sindssygt, hvad hun har skabt! Hun har formået at få klimaforandringerne sat højest på dagsordenen - det er utroligt, som hun kan formulere sig, selv på de største scener. Hun er så konsekvent i sine holdninger. Hun sagde, hun ville strejke hver fredag, og alle sagde naja, det går nok over: men det er ikke gået over endnu!
‘Alting forandrer sig, Kan vi holde fast I det menneskelige?’ funderer han.

Rainbow Menagerie:  Vis-à-vis:  Part III/III
(final part of the Faunus Rights series)
Jaune, Blake, and Coco walked down the stairs, Coco carrying a pillow. She made her way over to the couch, placed the pillow upon and, and gently sat down.
Jaune: Never thought I would see her so adorable.
Coco: You could call me sexy, feisty, fabulous, or avant-garde.
Jaune: Right now adorable is the best way to describe you. And I haven't had a chance to play the good host.
Jaune: *looks around the room*
Jaune: Can I get anyone, anything?
Qrow: Chill, kid, your newest pet has been making sure all of our drinks are topped up.
Jaune: Ilia?
Ilia: *pauses and nervously looks at Jaune*
Jaune: *waves her over*
Ilia: *quickly runs over to him*
Jaune: *pets her on the head*
Jaune: Good girl.
Jaune: *kisses her on the forehead*
Ilia: Thank you, Master.
Qrow: Aren't they charming?
Taiyang: Probably not the words I would use.
Qrow: I'm not all that good at this stuff, but they are all happy and loving.
Taiyang: *sighs*
Taiyang: I will admit that.
Kali: They are a lovely family.
Qrow: See?
Taiyang: They do look... wonderful together... No one else is... I don't want to... but I mean?..
Ghira: Blake has always been strong enough to forge her own path. We were worried about her with Adam, but this... is nothing like that... Jaune doesn't seem the perfect boyfriend to the outsider, like us, but look at the way the girls react to him. He's the perfect boyfriend for them. You saw how he reacted with that fashionable girl.
Qrow: Coco.
Ghira: He will drop everything to protect them, he can certainly provide for them, and you can see the girls smile as soon as he approaches them. To them, the collar represents commitment. Adam, on the other hand, demanded allegiance... without promising anything in return. The only one nervous around him is Ilia, but that is because of her.
Qrow: That sounds interesting.
Ghira: Perhaps I've said too much.
Kali: Blake is happy, plus I'm getting all sorts of stories about her. She has never liked talking about herself.
Taiyang: Weiss is so prim and polite that it's really easy to get her to reveal anything and everything my daughters do... to a certain degree. It's like having a spy.
Kali: We have one of our own.
Kali and Taiyang: *smile at each other*
Qrow: Tai, you know how much we mean to the girls and how much they mean to each other.
Taiyang: I know. It almost brings a tear to my eye.
Qrow: Aren't you as sentimental as ever?
Taiyang: Not all of us hide it with alcohol.
Qrow: *takes a drink*
Qrow: Touché.
Velvet: *walks in*
Velvet: Everyone, dinner is ready, if you could head to the dinning room?
Jaune: Blake? Ilia?
Blake: Master.
Ilia: Of course, Master.
Blake and Ilia: *follow Velvet into the kitchen*
Jaune: If you could follow me?
* * *
The company sat around the lounge, dinner sitting in their stomachs.
Taiyang: This has been great, but I have to get back to Patch.
Qrow: *stands up*
Qrow: Maybe we should let the kiddos enjoy some time unsupervised. Besides, if I stay any longer, we're temping fate with my semblance.
*glass that was sitting on the table falls over*
*velvet rushes over to clean it up*
Qrow: *sighs*
Ghira: Perhaps we should be getting on our way. The dinner was fantastic. We thank you so much for inviting us.
Coco: Isn't it a bit out of your way?
Ghira: In all honesty, we've been planning a trip through the kingdoms for some time. In all of our years, we've never visited them. My daughter convinced me that we can't hope for any real peace without getting to know each other.
Kali: Dear, I think I can probably pry a few more stories out of them...
Blake: Mo-om.
Kali: What?, I love hearing about you and your friends.
Jaune: We were planning to spend time in the hot tub.
Yang: Hot tub?
Weiss: We hardly brought appropriate attire...
Velvet: I have more than enough swim suits for you to borrow.
Coco: Or, we just don't let that stop us.
Coco: *stares at Jaune*
Jaune: I would like to see that.
Coco: *falters and looks away*
Coco: I just can't win with him.
Velvet: If Mrs. Belladonna wanted to join us, I have a number of swim suits she could use.
Ghira: I have to contact them back home to get an update on what has been happening.
Ghira: *kisses Kali*
Ghira: So, are you going to stay?
Blake: *stares at Jaune with narrow eyes*
Blake: You really want to see her naked, don't you?
Jaune: She is quite lovely.
Yang: Alright, hands up, who's up for naked tubing?
Yang: *raises her hand*
Jaune: *raises his hand*
Blake, Velvet, and Ilia: *follow Jaune and raise their hands*
Weiss: *scoffs*
Yang: You in or out, Snow Angel?
Weiss: *exascerbated sigh*
Coco: *raises her hand*
Coco: Don't fall behind, ice queen.
Weiss: I'll have you know...
Ruby: Weiss can out-fancy your pants off.
Coco: She's plenty fancy-enough to get my pants off.
Jaune: Weiss and Ruby have to decide.
Yang: And the MILF.
Ghira: I beg your pardon?
Yang: It's a compliment.
Weiss: An inappropriate one.
Jaune: In or out?
Ruby: *whispers in Weiss' ear*
Weiss: We're in. *sighs*
Jaune: *looks at Kali*
Ghira: She's going to keep you up all night with questions. Just make sure she has a place to stay.
Jaune: We've got a bed in one of the guestrooms, and the couches.
Kali: And where does Blake sleep?
Jaune: *starts coughing up a lung*
Velvet: I doubt it would work out.
Ghira: They are married after all.
Jaune: *looks about nervously*
Jaune: Yes, that's why.
Kali: *raises her hand*
Ghira: What won't you do for stories about Blake?
Kali: And her friends.
Ghira: If Kali can have the bed for tonight...
Kali: The couch will be fine, dear.
Ghira: *turns around and walks away while muttering*
Ghira: The couch will be fine, dear...
* * *
Jaune, Blake, Velvet, and Ilia all cuddled together, nude, in the hot tub. Weiss, Yang, and Ruby all cuddled together. Ren and Nora cuddled together nude. This left just enough room for Coco and Kali to slip in with them.
Kali: So, I heard how you started with Blake and Velvet, but how did it go with Ilia?
Jaune: She tried to assassinate me.
Ilia: *skin changes to nearly disappear in the tub*
Jaune: If she agreed to stop trying to kill me, I offered to let her stay as long as she wished.
Kail: Aren't you a darling.
Jaune: They have a long history. She means a lot to Blake.
Blake: She does.
Jaune: So, I wanted them to... hopefully get along.
Kali: And how did you seduce her?
Blake: Mo-om.
Ilia: By being him. His kindness, his strength, his love for seemingly everyone...
Jaune: *sighs, face nearly in the water*
Jaune: True...
Yang: Don't look down now. This might be your only chance to see so many fine-ass babes in the buff.
Blake: Unless we do this on a regular basis.
Weiss: *scoffs*
Ruby: It is... a bit... crowded in here...
Yang: Imagine what it will be like when he gets the pool going.
Jaune: And the garden...
Jaune: *squeezes Ilia*
Yang: *looks at Blake and nods her head to Kali*
Blake: *hides her head in Jaune's chest*
Jaune: *pet's Blake head while looking at her nude mother*
Blake (head in Jaune's chest): He's looking at her, isn't he?
Jaune: Where did you think I was looking?
Yang: To be fair, you can't seem to decide. Which, I will have to admit, is probably the right answer, right Weiss?
Weiss (fitfully looking about): I'm afraid my concentration in needed elsewhere...
Kali: So, tell me, you're all from Beacon. How did you all meet?
Yang: Most of us met up in the Emerald Forest during the trials.
Jaune: *staring at Kali's body under the water*
Jaune: I guess being the non-huntsman here, we kind of have to explain. Huntsmen are organized into 4-man teams. The Emerald Forest was where the teams were made... largely by chance or act of Oz...
Weiss: That's where RWBY became RWBY and JNPR became JNPR.
Yang: We were lookin' for *snickers* relics.
Weiss: Chess pieces.
Yang: And we all ran into each other by them.
Jaune: And what did you say, again?
Yang: The gang's all here. Now we can die together.
Weiss: I believe I speak for all involved that from this point onward, we were the best of friends.
Coco: We were a year ahead, already going out on missions. They became... quite well known...
Ren: We did have a giant food fight in the cafeteria.
Kali: How giant?
Yang: Everyone else ran away screaming. All Goodwitch could say was "Children, please - do - not - play with your food." while putting the tables together.
Kali: And how did my Blake do?
Weiss: Dual-wielding baguettes.
Ruby: It was pretty cool.
Velvet: For me, I was just entranced by him. Every joy... every sorrow... I was kind of a stalker.
Jaune: *reaches over to pet Velvet on the head*
Velvet: Thank you, Master.
Yang: Oh, man, am I getting hot.
Yang: *slips out of the tub, with her feet dangling in*
Yang: Something I can help you with, there?
Jaune (staring): You already did.
Yang: You have to be cooking there, yourself.
Jaune: *pulls himself out of the water*
Yang: *returns his stare*
Velvet: *looks at Kali*
Velvet: And how is our guest doing?
Kali: We have hot springs in Kuo Kuana. I could stay here all day. Or night, as it were. And I have plenty of more questions.
Velvet: I have a favour to ask everyone.
Velvet: *looks at Jaune*
Jaune: *nods his head*
Velvet: I would like to take a photo of us all.
Yang: Obviously in the buff.
Weiss: *incoherent huffing*
Velvet: I will use an analog camera, develop it in-house, and not show a soul not here, today.
Weiss: *less offended huffing*
Ruby: *whispers into Weiss' ear*
Weiss: *huffing of acceptance*
Ren: That would be acceptable.
Nora: More like totally awesome!
Yang: Blake?
Blake: If Master is in, we're in.
Jaune: We're in.
Jaune: *looks at Coco*
Coco: Like I would miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this?
Jaune: K... *clears his throat* Kali?
Kali: We are all here to enjoy ourselves.

Tumblr media
Four days had gone by since you found the video and handed it over to the Sheriff. Four days since Clifford Blossom hung himself. Four days since the Blossom’s drug run came out into the open. And now, everyone was condemned to face the aftermath.
On Monday, Betty post an article to the Blue and Gold webpage that shed truth on all that had been going on in Riverdale and in defense of FP. It was some of her best work. Meanwhile, the Sheriff was drilling FP trying to get names of the Serpent drug runners. At the same time, Veronica’s mother was starting to prepare for her husband’s return. You and Jughead were trying to figure out your next move.
On Tuesday, you, Archie, and Betty had been called down to the Principal’s office. You and Archie still hadn’t really talked and the truth was that he was worried about you. His worry only grew when he found that you weren’t at school. The purpose of the meeting was simple. Principal Weatherbee and Mayor McCoy wanted you and Archie to perform at the 75th anniversary Jubilee with Josie and the Pussy cats. They also wanted Betty to give a speech to inspire town unity. Betty asked why Jughead was being left out, after all, he did the most in solving Jason’s murder. The mayor gave a very political answer and then dismissed both Archie and Betty.
As they left, Archie asked Betty if she had seen you or if she had any clue where you were. She didn’t, but she noted that she hadn’t seen Jughead either. Archie wondered where the two of you were.
The answer to that question was at the police station. FP was technically your guardian and seeing as he was looking at being in prison for a long period of time, you and Jughead would have to find a new guardian or be placed in the foster system. You immediately called Archie’s dad in tears. 
When he showed up he talked to Keller and offered to take you and Jughead in. The problem was that social workers were already involved and everything had to be official. He didn’t meet the requirements to host one of you let alone both of you. There were two foster families on the southside that agreed to take one of you in, that not only meant that the two of you would be split up, but you would both have to attend Southside High. Upon hearing this you had enough and ran out of the station.
Why was this happening? You didn’t want to leave, this was your home. You had already lost so much, you didn’t want to lose Archie too. You knew that if you went to the Southside that everything would change. You wanted to scream, to punch something, to hide away from everything. And so, you started walking towards the river. 
Meanwhile back at school, Cheryl was being odd even for Cheryl. She was giving away things and saying goodbyes. Veronica confronted her and told her that everything would get better. But Cheryl wasn’t sad, she was at peace, which completely threw Veronica off. Betty had called Jughead and discovered what had happened that morning. He informed her that he would be arriving back at school any minute. 
Archie called you for what seemed like the hundredth time. At this point you either didn’t have your phone, it was dead, or you were purposefully ignoring him. He went to send you a text but Veronica pulled him away along with Jughead.
“Veronica, what’s going on?” he asked.
“It’s Betty” was all she said before they got to the crowded hall. They pushed their way through and saw that someone had vandalized her locker. There were many copies of her article along with a hanging voodoo doll. The whole thing was covered in blood that read ‘Go To HELL SERPENT SLUT’. Jughead quickly stepped in between her and the scene. 
“Betty,” he whispered.
She ran into his arms trying to rip the papers down, “It’s just some jerk with a can of spray paint” he cried.
“Betty,” he said as he held her firmly, “I don’t think that’s spray paint,” he said as he forced her away. 
The entire group locked themselves in the blue and gold office and comforted her. After a while, Archie asked Jug if he knew where you were. That is when Jug informed everyone about what had happened at the Sheriff’s station that morning. They were all in shock over the news. Betty and Veronica called their mom’s about taking you in. Veronica’s said no because of Hiram's return and Betty’s said they couldn’t with Polly and the babies. Everything was happening so fast. 
Archie was going to leave and look for you so you wouldn’t have to go through all of this alone. But before he could, Veronica received a text from Cheryl. ‘Thanks for trying, I’m going to be with JJ’ it read.
“Om my god” she gasped showing the message to her friends.
“Where would Cheryl go to be with Jason?” Betty questioned.
“Sweetwater River” Archie realized and they all raced there.
------------------Meanwhile-----------------------
Sweetwater River had always been the place you came when you needed to clear your head. There was something so serene about it, especially in the wintertime. You walked around for a while, trudging through the snow, your only regret was that you weren’t wearing warmer clothes. You went to the lookout and noticed that there was someone on the ice. You quickly realized that it was Cheryl Blossom. You made your way down to the bank and called out to her. She simply ignored you and started pounding on the ice.
You had no choice and carefully walked out to her. “Cheryl, what are you doing out here?” you asked.
She was absolutely distraught, “I’m going to be with JJ.”
“Come on Cheryl, let’s go back to the bank and we can talk about this,” you instructed calmly.
“I don’t want to go back, I just want this to be over,” she cried.
“It’s okay Cheryl it’s all going to be okay, we just have to get off the ice” 
“No, it’s never going to be okay again,” she sobbed.
“Cheryl I understand what you're going through, I was thinking the same thing when I lost my parents, but it gets better I promise.”
“It can’t” she cried.
You were going to continue, but you felt the ice shift ever-so-slightly under your feet. At this time you could hear Archie and the gang calling out for Cheryl. This was scary as you didn’t know how it would force her to react. 
You refocused your attention on her, “Come on Cheryl, let’s go” you tried ignoring your friends.
“I can’t go back,” she whispered.
“Yes, you can. Jason would want you to. He would want you to live your life. Please come with me, do it for Jason,” you tried starting to get desperate. 
Cheryl paused for a moment, it felt like an eternity, before she nodded her head in agreement. You sighed in relief and put your arms around her guiding her back when you heard the cracking.
There was no time to react before both you and Cheryl were underwater. It was so dark and cold. You had an arm around Cheryl and worked against the current to force her back to the surface. It was all happening so fast. You tried to focus on the light was coming from the hole where the two of you fell in. You pushed her up as someone was pulling her out of the water. It was a struggle as the current felt like it was getting stronger, or maybe your body was just starting to go numb. You tried to fight your way back over to the surface but it was becoming too hard. All you could focus on was how cold it was. And then you couldn’t focus at all.
-----
“Oh my god, Cheryl’s on the ice” Betty said as they got to the shoreline where they could see.
“Who is that with her?” Veronica asked.
“It’s Y/n” Archie whispered fear sinking in.
“Shouldn’t we go get them?” Veronica asked wondering why they were just standing there.
“We can’t V, it’s not safe” Betty answered.
“She’s right, we don’t want to risk putting too much weight on the ice,” Jughead agreed. 
They watched in utter silence as the scene unfolded before them, only able to hear fragments of sentences. 
“Okay, they’re coming back,” Veronica acknowledged. 
They were relieved momentarily, but then they watched in horror as the ice cracked submerging both of you. 
Archie sprinted out to the hole and laid on his stomach shoving his hand through to grab Cheryl. He ignored how cold it was and how his muscles ached from the action. Jughead was soon by his side helping him pull her out. As soon as she was, she was coughing and freaking out. Jughead ordered Betty and Veronica to take her back to the shore, wanting to minimize the weight on the ice. Archie went back for you but the current was starting to pull you away. He scooted himself forward and reached again desperately, just barely managing to grab your jacket. It was enough though and he was able to pull you closer and get a better grip before pulling you out.
As he got you out of the water he was freaking out. You were unconscious and so cold. He lowered his ear over your mouth, listening to see if you were breathing. You weren’t. He didn’t hesitate to start CPR, terrified of screwing it up. Jughead had no choice but to stand there and watch.
“Come on, Y/n!” Archie cried out as he started doing chest compressions again. This wasn’t happening. Jughead turned away, he couldn’t watch. But suddenly he heard you start coughing up water and gasping for air before passing out again. 
As you started to come to, you were freezing and very confused. You faintly remember being picked up and carried. You remember hearing Archie apologize repeatedly as he stripped off your wet clothes and slipped one of his shirts over your head. He went downstairs grabbed a space heater, blankets, and hot cocoa. When he returned, he took his shirt off and put some sweatpants on before joining you. He was holding you tightly and you were thankful for the warmth that radiated off of him.
“Archie?” you sniffled.
“Y/n, hey, how are you feeling?” he asked rubbing his hands over your arms.
“Cold” you tried to joke.
“I’m so glad that you’re okay,” he replied.
“You saved my life,” you whispered.
“And you saved Cheryls” he reminded.
“Is she okay?” 
“Yeah, she’s with Veronica now.”
You wrapped yourself around him and he readjusted the blankets around the two of you. 
“Thank you,” you smiled.
“Here, I made you hot chocolate,” he said as he handed you a mug. 
You took it and sipped it slowly. Before handing it back to him to set down. You cuddled back into his side mesmerized by him. 
“I love you Archie,” you whispered as you were being lulled back to sleep allowing the exhaustion take over. 
“I love you too Y/n,” he said kissing the top of your head.
At that moment he knew that no matter what happened with the jubilee, the social worker, and anything else that life decided to hurl at you, that the two of you would be okay. You had each other and that is all that really mattered.

Jimmy Cliff
Tumblr media
James Chambers, OM (born 1 April 1948), known professionally as Jimmy Cliff, is a Jamaican ska and reggae musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and actor. Along with Bunny Wailer he is one of only two living musicians to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences.
Cliff is best known among mainstream audiences for songs such as "Wonderful World, Beautiful People", "Many Rivers to Cross", "You Can Get It If You Really Want", "The Harder They Come", "Reggae Night", and "Hakuna Matata", and his covers of Cat Stevens's "Wild World" and Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" from the film Cool Runnings. He starred in the film The Harder They Come, which helped popularize reggae across the world, and Club Paradise. Cliff was one of five performers inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
Early life and education
Jimmy Cliff was born in Somerton District, Saint James, Jamaica. He began writing songs while still at primary school in St. James, listening to a neighbour's sound system. In 1962 his father took him to Kingston to go to Kingston Technical school, where he ended up sharing his cousin's one rented room in East Kingston.
Career
1960s and 1970s
Cliff sought out many producers while still going to school, trying to get his songs recorded without success. He also entered talent contests. "One night I was walking past a record store and restaurant as they were closing, pushed myself in and convinced one of them, Leslie Kong, to go into the recording business, starting with me," he writes in his own website biography. After two singles that failed to make much impression, his career took off when "Hurricane Hattie" became a hit, while he was aged 14. It was produced by Kong, with whom Cliff remained until Kong's death from a heart attack in 1971.
Cliff's later local hit singles included "King of Kings", "Dearest Beverley", "Miss Jamaica", and "Pride and Passion". In 1964, Cliff was chosen as one of Jamaica's representatives at the World's Fair in New York; and in the same year Cliff was featured in a program called "This is Ska!" alongside Prince Buster, Toots and the Maytals, and Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. He soon signed to Island Records and moved to the United Kingdom. Island Records initially (and unsuccessfully) tried to sell Cliff to the rock audience, but his career took off in the late 1960s. His international debut album was Hard Road to Travel, released in 1967. It received excellent reviews and included "Waterfall" (composed by Nirvana's Alex Spyropoulos and Patrick Campbell-Lyons), which became a hit in Brazil and won the International Song Festival.
"Waterfall" was followed in 1969 by "Wonderful World, Beautiful People" and "Vietnam" in 1970, both popular throughout most of the world. Bob Dylan called "Vietnam" the best protest song he had ever heard. Also during this period, Cliff released a cover of Cat Stevens' "Wild World" as a single, but it was not included on his Wonderful World, Beautiful People album.
In 1972, Cliff starred as Ivanhoe "Ivan" Martin in the classic reggae film, The Harder They Come, directed by Perry Henzell. As the film tells Martin's story, he is a young man without funds. Arriving in Kingston from the country, he tries to make it in the recording business, but without success. Eventually, he turns to a life of crime. The soundtrack album of the film was a huge success that sold well across the world, bringing reggae to an international audience for the first time. It remains one of the most internationally significant films to have come out of Jamaica since independence. The film made its debut at London's Gaumont cinema in Notting Hill on 1 September 1972. In 1975, Cliff sang on the first season of Saturday Night Live, episode 12, hosted by Dick Cavett. After a series of albums, Cliff took a break and traveled to Africa (the Nigeria-based Jamaican writer Lindsay Barrett was instrumental in Cliff's first trip there), and subsequently converted to Islam, taking the new name: El Hadj Naïm Bachir.
1980s and 1990s
Cliff quickly returned to music, touring for several years before he recorded with Kool & the Gang. In 1984, Cliff appeared at the Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands. During The River Tour, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band added Cliff's previously little-known song "Trapped" to their live set; it achieved great prominence when included on 1985's We Are the World benefit album. The follow-up, Cliff Hanger (1985), won a Grammy Award for 'Best Reggae Album', though it was his last major success in the United States until 1993. Also in 1985, Cliff contributed to the song "Sun City", a protest song written and composed by Steven Van Zandt and recorded by Artists United Against Apartheid to convey opposition to the South African policy of apartheid. Cliff then provided backing vocals on The Rolling Stones' 1986 album Dirty Work, and appeared in the comedy Club Paradise, co-starring with Robin Williams and Peter O'Toole, and contributed several songs to the soundtrack, including "Seven Day Weekend", which he sang with Elvis Costello. In 1988, his song "Shelter of Your Love" was featured in the hit film Cocktail.
Cliff appeared in the film Marked for Death in 1990, performing "John Crow" with the Jimmy Cliff Band. His recording of "You Can Get It If You Really Want" was used as a campaign anthem by the Sandinista National Liberation Front in the 1990 election in Nicaragua. In 1991, he performed at the second Rock in Rio festival in Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He continued to sell well in Jamaica and, to a lesser extent, the UK, returning to the mainstream pop charts in the U.S. and elsewhere (#1 in France) with a version of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" on the Cool Runnings film soundtrack in 1993. In 1995, Cliff released the single "Hakuna Matata", a collaboration with Lebo M, a song from the soundtrack of the film The Lion King. In 1997, Cliff was a guest star in a 1997 episode of the Cartoon Network talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
2000 to present
In 2001, Cliff became an inaugural member of the Independent Music Awards' judging panel to support independent artists. In 2002, Cliff released the album Fantastic Plastic People in Europe, after first providing free downloads using p2p software. This album featured collaborations with Joe Strummer, Annie Lennox, and Sting as well as new songs that were very reminiscent of Cliff's original hits. In 2004, Cliff completely reworked the songs, dropping the traditional reggae in favour of an electronic sound, for inclusion in Black Magic. The album also included a recording of "Over the Border" with Joe Strummer. Cliff performed at the closing ceremony to the 2002 Commonwealth Games and in 2003, his song "You Can Get It If You Really Want" was included in the soundtrack to the film, Something's Gotta Give. He also appeared in July 2003 at the Paléo Festival in Nyon, Switzerland. The Jamaican government under P. J. Patterson honoured Cliff on 20 October 2003, by awarding him The Order of Merit, the nation's fourth-highest honour, in recognition of his contributions to the film and music of Jamaica. Cliff, Bunny Wailer and Mervyn Morris are the only currently living figures from the arts to hold this distinction and he is one of only two living musician (along with Bunny Wailer) to do so.
In 2007, Cliff performed at the opening ceremony at cricket's World Cup. In the spring and summer of 2010, Cliff embarked on an extensive tour of the U.S. and Canada. In 2007, "You Can Get It If You Really Want" was adopted by the British Conservative Party during their annual conference. Cliff was quoted in The Independent as saying "One of my band mates called me this morning to tell me the news. I can't stop them using the song, but I'm not a supporter of politics. I have heard of Cameron, but I'm not a supporter. I don't support any politician. I just believe in right or wrong."
In September 2009, he was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, following a campaign on his behalf by the American Charles Earle. Cliff reacted to the news by saying, "This is good for Cliff, good for Jamaican music and good for my country." On 15 December 2009, he was officially announced as an inductee and was inducted on 15 March 2010 by Wyclef Jean.
Cliff appeared in the 2011 documentary Reggae Got Soul: The Story of Toots and the Maytals which was featured on BBC and described as "The untold story of one of the most influential artists ever to come out of Jamaica".
In 2011, Cliff worked with producer Tim Armstrong, lead singer of American punk band Rancid, on the EP The Sacred Fire and the full-length album Rebirth. Rebirth was nominated for a Grammy Award for 'Best Reggae Album'. The album was listed at #12 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 50 albums of 2012, saying "There's ska, rock steady, roots reggae, a revelatory cover of The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" delivered in Cliff's trademark soulful tenor, grittier but still lovely more than 40 years after his debut." In December 2012, Cliff was named 'Artist of the Year' by digital newspaper the Caribbean Journal, citing his work on Rebirth.
On 25 June 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Jimmy Cliff among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.
Personal life
Cliff is not a member of the Rastafari movement, although he briefly was before converting to Islam from Christianity. He now describes himself as having a "universal outlook on life", and does not align himself with any particular movement or religion, saying that "now I believe in science". He is married and has a daughter Lilty Cliff and a son Aken Cliff. He is also the father of the actress/singer Nabiyah Be.

Drunk on here again. So me and my friends have this ritual om discord where we get fucked up,play overwatch and sing karaoke. How'd Bruno's gang react to their s/o going out to a karaoke bar and trying to get them to sing with them
Okay I need somefriends like that honestly, it must be really fun
***
Bruno :
He doesn’t mind having some fun, but he usually prefers watching people than actually singing/dancing and stuff like that.
He’d just watch with loving eyes with a big smile his S/O as they sing, having the time of their life.
But the last thing he expected was being invited to sing along – and at first he’d be reluctant, really reluctant.
But well, the song is nice, and he sees nothing wrong with being less reserved than he usually is.
And he has no regrets – it was really nice and he couldn’t help but smile all the time. Holding together the mic as they sing, he’d just stare at their face and lips. Really, he doesn’t care if they both look ridiculous, he just enjoys the moment.
What they would sing: « Non Ti Scordar Mai Di Me» Giusy Ferreri
***
Abbacchio :
He’d laugh seeing them being so focused on the song. He finds it really cute and can’t help but feeling happy as he watches them having fun. But when they suddenly ask him to join he laughs even more:
«Have you seen my face? Does it look like someone who wants to sing along? » Abbacchio
Really, he ’d just ignore them at first, he’d prefers to hear them and stay silent, not making a fool of himself.
Though he’d eventually join them without any warnings – he knows it’d make them happy and he is able to make some efforts.
And in the end, the smile on his S/O’s face is worth it.
What they would sing: Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication (lol I couldn’t come up with an Italian song for him)
***
Mista :
The whole time is S/O sings he just does the same but quietly as he sits behind them.
Honestly, he is just waiting for them to invite him. They’d barely have finished their sentence that he’d already be next to them, singing with passion as he laughs at the same time
He is really happy that they want to sing with him – and he couldn’t keep all this joy inside him.
He’d be a real dork, moving his head to the rhythm of the song – even dancing a bit.
This looks more like they’d both be dead drunk singing something than two sober humans having some fun.
But both wouldn’t mind – the only thing that matters is that they are enjoying their time together.
What they would sing: Carlotta – Frena (lol this one is so silly I can definitely imagine him singing that)
***
Fugo :
Thinks this looks really funny. Although he is pretty anxious to sing – he doesn’t feel like he can sing or that his voice is great.
So he’d be really shy and unsure – should he really join them? Won’t it ruin the whole thing?
But in the end as is S/O insists, he finally joins and starts singing – a bit embarassed, his voice wouldn’t be really audible.
And in the end, as the song goes on and his S/O just sings shamelessly – he’d get more comfortable.
He has no regrets, he just can’t take off the smile of this face – he even starts moving/dancing along with them.
What they would sing: ”Io e la mia signorina” di Neffa
***
Narancia :
Like Mista, he just sings with them even if they didn’t ask him at first. So when they ask him to join them he just jumps in.
So enthusiastic – he is absolutely fond of music and he could sing whatever was playing at the moment.
Maybe his S/O chose a song they knew he loved just to make him happy too
Absolutely improvises some choreography and it looks AMAZING. He’d also bring his S/O to dance along with him
What they would sing: Fuori dal tunnel - Caparezza 
***
Giorno :
He … wasn’t really expecting this?
But joins them anyway – he isn’t afraid to sing along with them, on the contrary he knows he will mostly enjoy this.
Am I the only one who thinks Giorno would be an amazing singer? I mean, just listen to his voice, it’s so calm and soft. He could sing the weirdest song on earth and it would still sound great.
Would maybe tease his S/O a bit, singing way too close from them – looking straight in their eyes with a playful smile on his lips.
What they would sing: Zucchero - Baila Morena
***
BONUS: Fabrizio Moro - Pensa  https://youtu.be/PaSU8hrgPYQ
It’s one of my favorite songs and it fits here since the song is dedicated to the victims of Mafia and Camorra. I just love it

An adorable mess
This a fanfiction for ShortSoildier on SelfShip Safe Space Animo
She wanted me to do a fic of her Self Insert with McCree and wanted it to be along the lines of Fluff so I came up with an idea where they take place Blackwatch after the two finish up a mission. She finds McCree’s hair to be a mess and sees that he looks cute like that.
Title: An adorable mess
Fandom: Overwatch
Rating: E+
Character/s: Stryker, Jesse McCree
Pairing/s: Stryker/Jesse McCree
Theme/s: Fluff
Warning/s: Mildly OOC
Words: 1,046
It was just another day over at the headquarters of Overwatch. The brown haired woman had just returned from a mission alongside with her comrade, Jesse McCree. Just as usual, the work of Blackwatch agents had hardly got any recognition even when they worked hard. That thought could be quite frustrating at times but that was the usual result, especially when there were small numbers in the group. “You’ve indeed had done some mighty fine work back there.” Jesse spoke, complimenting over at the skills she had displayed over in the field. “The work couldn’t have been done without you Jesse.” A grin formed upon her face as she pays him back a compliment in return. The two agents worked well with each other as they have been taught not only by the best but the leader of Blackwatch. Stryker was glad that they got the work done as she was feeling tired.
               It didn’t take long for the other to notice of her current state of ow she was hunching over slightly and hearing small pants coming from her breath. “Ease up now, how about you take yourself a seat while I’ll go fetch some water.” He spoke as he puts a hand on her shoulder. Her eye locked up onto his, she nods following along with a thanks ad she sat herself down. Stryker was glad to have a partner like McCree at her side. At first she was skeptical of him, as he came from the Dreadlock gang and wasn’t so sure if he would be reliable within the Covert Ops. Though it seemed his ways have changed now than when he was first in Gabriel’s hands. The agent seemed to change a lot since them. He kept more of a careful eye on the team and looked out for his comrades. A small chuckle escaped Stryker’s lips, seeing how they progressed from then to now.
               Her thoughts were cut off after hearing steps across the hall, she looked over to see Jesse again. He arrived with two bottled filled water in his hand it over one two her. Stryker grabbed for the bottle she was given and start drinking down as she removed the cap of it. The cool sensation of the liquid flows down to her mouth, down to her throat. The cold water was doing its job as she was parching her thirst.  She was taking in the water all she could as her throat was she dry as the Sahara desert. “Ease up now, wouldn’t want you to be choking.” The older agent spoke as he say how she was drinking like she hasn’t have water in days. She takes the bottles from her lips as she looks over at him. “Well you can blame the mission for making me thirsty like this.” She chuckled, joking slightly. “I won’t be able to help ya out, if you manage to choke.” He followed along, elbowing her playfully. The older agent was right on taking her drinking slow. He popped off the cap of his own bottle and began to drink his own water.
               She looks over at him giving Jesse a small grin, Stryker then notice a few leaves in the brunette’s hair. This earns her a giggle, seeing he got a bit off a mess. He looks over at the fellow agent as he arched a brow. “Don’t tell me you’ve just noticed how good looking I am.” A confident smirk stretches across his face as he pulls out the bottle from his mouth. Stryker couldn’t help as she grinned over at his comment. She did find the older male to attractive, but that wasn’t the reason why she reacted the way she did. “I wouldn’t necessarily say that.” Stryker said in response. “I don’t see any other reason you’d looking in my direction and giggling the way you are.” She knew that he was flattering himself at this point, but had no idea to the reason why she was amused. “What if I told you it was because you got some leaves stuck in your hair.” She chuckled once more as her hand reaches over to his hair. “Let me get them for you since you already helped me out.” The young woman began to take out the leaves that were sticking out.
               His face displayed a bit of embarrassment that he did not feel anything attached or locking on to his dark brown hair. She had to admit that her partner did look quite cute like this. “You might want to cut that hair of yours if you want to avoid looking like a tree.” She joked a bit as she was trying to straighten his hair. The way how her fingers stroke through it make hard to keep her hands off it. It felt quite nice and soft. “I wouldn’t be the charmer I am now if I were to cut this beauty.” He wasn’t going to cut it anytime soon as he was satisfied the way his hair looked now. “Don’t be ridiculous, I’m pretty sure you’ll still have your good looks, even if you change your hair. I’d wonder what hairstyle you’d choose if you did cut it.” The very thought of that ate at her mind a bit as she seemed to be subconsciously stroking his hair now. “I wouldn’t be able to have a pretty lady tangled up in my hair as I do now.” He spoke as he gently grabs her wrist, pulling her hand away from his hair. The young woman blushed slightly over at his comment on how pretty she was.
               “I do enjoy you giving me hair attention, I just don’t want it to be messy out in public.” Jesse spoke as he releases her hand. “Maybe you should keep your hat on more often so you won’t have to worry about it much.” The younger agent chuckled. “I love seeing your hair in all kind of ways, even if it’s messy.” She grins at her comrade. “I can make an exception where you can only see my hair like that. You’re lucky that your cute, otherwise I wouldn’t have said this.”  The older male grins a bit. “I’ll keep that om mind.” Stryker responds with a grin.

Coming out // Springe ud
((Danish below ^^))
There is a lot of background knowledge on me that should be shared before any of this will make any sense :) The story will come as I go on with what I want to tell.
Until now I’ve been known as a young woman on 23. I’ve been out as pansexual since high school and I’m perfectly comfortable with that. All of my friends have been supportive and nowhere in my public have I met a questioning eye. My parents didn’t take it all that well.
I have three amazing friends online. All European like me, but none from the same country. I met them in Paris in January this year and they only became more amazing after that. They all have a leg in the LGBT+ community in one way or another. One is pansexual like me, one is bisexual, and one is lesbian. The pansexual one also has trans friends so I knew they would be acceptable. But even then I found the whole coming out extremely difficult. I told them separately one by one. Two of them I told the same day. One I couldn’t handle just yet. They were supportive all of them, promised to try and remember to call me Jackson but apologized in advance until they got used to the whole thing. Extremely supportive and apparently proud of me too. Now, the third took me a couple of days to come out to. Our situation is a little different. You see, I am roleplaying online. Roleplaying gives me the chance of creating a character, give this person a name and a face and then live their life. I created a character - Jackson - years ago. I’ve been roleplaying my male side through him. RPJackson has been the one I would be if I didn’t have to consider stereotypes and gender roles. How would people react if a man acted and behaved like he did? I needed to figure out back then. And the last girl happened to have the boyfriend to my roleplay Jackson. So coming out to her, telling her that the Jackson her character was dating is basically myself was incredibly hard. When I told her she wasn’t really surprised - which surprised me. She said she had seen it coming. She asked if she could give me stupid nicknames and let that be it. From then on I went as Jackson. That was Tuesday. I was out to my friends. I came out to two more friends that day too. I still had one tough one to go: My girlfriend.
My girlfriend, I’ve been with since October 2015. I know she was probably the one who deserved to know most, but I simply didn’t have the guts to come out to her just yet. My girlfriend is very much lesbian and has stated that she hates men. To say I was scared my be the understatement of the year.
I told her yesterday about being trans. I told her everything. And I’m still a wreck. She said she supports me but she doesn’t know about our relationship. She tells me she still loves me but she isn’t sure she can be with a man. I can’t say I didn’t see it coming she would say that, but it still hurts more than I thought it would. I’m giving her the time she needs and of course, I answer all her questions too. 
For now, I’m not going to tell my family. I’m scared of how they will react. I also have to think about how I can come out to classmates, coworkers, and whatnot. I’m still thinking about all the consequences there are to coming out. 
Now, what happened after I came out? I can literally feel a change in my step. I’m walking more confidently. I’m still having this nauseous feeling of elation of everyone so far being supportive of my change in gender. It’s nice. And honestly, I’m having this dying urge to come out to just about everyone that isn’t my family. Like, I’ve been so happy in the past 4 days and people have commented on it, but I can’t really tell them my reason. As much as I want to. But I know that for most my family deserve to know - probably first too. I want to get on T and have top surgery so they will no chance but to notice when I get that far. 
This one became a long post. And not as deep into my emotions as I thought. I was scared and now I’m happy, but still scared. I still have a lot to face, consider, do, and say in this matter. This is just the beginning. But I’m feeling good. I feel like I can do this.
Next blog post will be about body dysphoria. 
Dansk:
Der er en helt del baggrundsviden omkring min person og jeg. Meget af det der bliver sagt her er sikkert meget indforstået. Jeg skal dog forsøge at fortælle frem og tilbage efterhånden som jeg kommer til emnerne. 
Indtil nu har jeg været kendt som en ung kvinde på 23. Jeg har været sprunget ud som panseksuel siden gymnasiet og har det generalt rigtig godt med det. Jeg har kun fået støtte fra venner og andre personer. De eneste der ikke har taget det pænt er mine forældre. De er knap så forstående som jeg kunne have ønsket mig. 
Jeg har tre fantastiske venner jeg har mødt på nettet. De er alle fra Europa men fra forskellige lande. Jeg mødte dem alle i Paris i Januar og det er de kun blevet bedre venner af. De er alle en del af LGBT+ fællesskabet rundt omkring. Én er panseksuel og har trans-venner, én er biseksuel og den sidste er lesbisk. Så jeg har altid vidst at de ville være fuld støtte. Men det har stadig taget tid at nå til det punkt hvor jeg føler at jeg kunne komme ud til dem. Selvom jeg vidste de ville støtte mig 100%. Jeg fortalte dem det én ad gangen. To af dem fortalte jeg i søndags. De var begge meget støttende og meget stolte også. De lovede mig at de ville forsøge at huske at kalde mig ham og han, og kalde mig Jackson. De undskyldte også i tilfælde af at ville glemme det. Den sidste kunne jeg ikke springe ud til endnu. Vores situation er en anelse anderledes end den var med de andre. Ser i, jeg rollespiller på nettet. Rollespil giver mig mulighed for at lave en karakter, give vedkommende et navn og et ansigt. Den karakter jeg lavede er Jackson. Altså mig selv. Den Jackson jeg er når jeg ikke skal forholde mig til forventninger og kønsroller. Jeg brugte ham som et forsøg. Hvordan ville folk behandle ham hvis en mand opførte sig sådan? Jeg forsøgte simpelthen at skabe et liv som Jackson. Og den Jackson er altså mig, den jeg rigtigt er. Og den sidste af mine venner er tilfældigvis hende der styrre rollespillets Jacksons kæreste. Så at komme ud til hende var rigtig svært. Den Jackson hun kendte og troede var min karakter er egentlig mig selv. Til min overraskelse var hun ikke spor overrasket. Hun havde set det komme. Hun spurgte bare om hun måtte give mig underlige kælenavne og lod det være det. Meget antiklimatisk men så så så så så rart. Derfra har jeg været Jackson. Det var tirsdag. Jeg var kommet ud til mine venner. Både dem online og to som bor i Danmark. Jeg havde stadig den sværeste tilbage: min kæreste. 
Jeg har været sammen med min kæreste side Oktober 2015. Jeg ved hun nok var den der fortjente at få det at vide først, men jeg var simpelthen for bange. Hun er lesbisk og har sagt flere gange at hun hader mænd. At jeg var bange var nok den største underdrivelse i år. 
I går fortalte jeg hende det så. Jeg fortalte hende at jeg er trans. Jeg er stadig ret så ødelagt over det. Hun sagde at hun vil støtte mig i det, selvfølgelig, men at hun ikke love noget om vores forhold. Hun siger at hun stadig elsker mig men hun er ikke sikker hun kan være en mand. Jeg kan ikke sige jeg ikke så det komme, men det gør stadig ondt. Mere end jeg egentlig havde regnet med. Hun får selvfølgelig den tid hun har behov for, og jeg tager mig tid til at svare på alle de spørgsmål hun nu en gang må have. 
Lige nu har jeg ingen intentioner om at fortælle min familie. Jeg er bange for hvordan de vil reagere. Jeg går også og tænker på om jeg skal komme ud til mine klassekammerater, kollegaer og hvad jeg ellers skal støde på. Jeg tænker stadig over hvilke konsekvenser det hele vil have.
Nå, men hvad skete så med mig siden jeg kom ud? Jeg har bestilt tid ved en frisør der skal klippe mit hår til en maskulin frisure. Jeg har haft en seriøs kvalme af lettelse siden i går. Jeg har faktisk lyst til at komme ud til alle og enhver. Det er jo gået så godt så langt. Og jeg har været så glad de sidste fire dage at folk har kommenteret på det. Jeg kan dog ikke fortælle dem den egentlige grund. Jeg kan bare trække på skuldrene og håbe de ikke spørger ind. Jeg tænker at de næste der skal vide det er min familie. Jeg ønsker at få hormonbehandling og få fjernet mine bryster. Det vil de nok opdage uanset hvor forsigtig jeg er. 
Det er gået hen og blevet en lang post. Den er ikke så dybdegående i følelserne som jeg havde ønsket, men egentlig så er det ret svært at beskrive følelser der er så sammenblandede og difuse som jeg føler mig nu. Jeg har stadig meget der skal ske, meget der skal siges og gøres og mange konfrontationer som jeg skal møde, men jeg har det godt og jeg er ved godt mod. Det skal jeg nok også komme igennem.
Det næste opslag vil blive om kønsforvirring og om ikke at føle sig hjemme i egen krop

OM Gang meets Monster High
Chloe would be very jealous of Clawdeen too because Clawdeen doesn't seem to have the side effects of being a werewolf in Chloe's universe
Yep
I'd like to think Monster High is sort of on it's own plane of existence, like, you've got the mortal human realm, then you peel a layer back and theres dead people, then peel a different layer and its the fae, and so on, and so forth, and depending on which filter you've kinda got on, magic reacts differently
Which is how you get Human->Wolf werewolves and the other Wolf Person->Wolf werewolves
No this doesn't mean Monster High exists, I don't like crossovers you guys should know this by now

S.J.P. Sleinada #2 - Discussions
"De naemen der geexecuteerdens, hier zullende volgen, staen 'er niet, om hun uytgestaene straf te vergrooten, maer om aen de laetere tyden zoo veel meer indruk te geeven, en hun te doen grouwelen van zulke bande. Ik doe het immers met groote droefheyd des herte, en zoo dikwyls ik aen hun denke, wensche ik hun de eeuwigduerende ruste."
~~~
"The names of those executed, which will follow, are not noted to punish them more than they have been, but to leave an impression for later times, and have them fear such a gang. I do this, after all, with sadness in my heart, and every time I think about them, I wish them eternal rest."
-S.J.P. Sleinada: Oorsprong, Oorzaeke, Bewys (etc.) [p. 37]
As stated in the about S.J.P. Sleinada, or Arnold Daniëls, there are a lot of things people can't seem to agree on when it comes to this man. They discuss the intention behind his work, as well as its reliability.
Intention
There has been quite the discussion on what Sleinada's intention was when he wrote his infamous booklet. While some say he wanted to express the hatred he felt towards the Bokkenrijders, and he only wanted to compliment the way the government of the Lands of Overmaeze had reacted, others say he wanted to show there was more to the Bokkenrijders than just bad intentions, and he actually wanted to help people.
On the first theory: Sleinada compares the Bokkenrijders to an illness quite a lot. They were, according to him, sinners, who would convert others to their sinful way of living. Throughout most of the book, he accuses the gang of making the Lands ill, so to speak. His work is also dedicated to those who cured the Lands of this illness, and he praises them often throughout this work. Besides, is there really any way a priest would want to say anything good about a gang of satanists?
Well, yes, say those who believe Sleinada wasn't as hostile towards the Bokkenrijders as was believed for so long. After all, as shown in the quote above, Sleinada really seemed upset about what had happened and there are multiple times when he notes he didn't write the book just to upset people, he wrote it to protect the Lands from another gang like that.
Again, neither of these theories are proven, so feel free to discuss in the comments or on the forum!
Reliability
While Sleinada continues to be one of the most frequently quoted works out there when it comes to Bokkenrijders research, we should doubt its reliability. After all, there are a few instances where he notes something as a fact, while there is no other proof it happened, or, in some cases, there is proof it did not happen. For both of these, I'll give you an example.
No other proof
"Op eene nagt in 1770 heeft men, in 't laetste van den zomer in 't stedeken een groot tumult gehoord, vermengd met eenige scheuten, en het was op de wagt gemikt: maer onze braeve Keyzerlyke helden, die meermaelen vyandelyken polver gerooken hadden, gaven zoo fraey vuer, dat de knevelaers op de aftogt dogten, en zig eylings weg pakten.
"During one late summer night in 1770 did the people hear a great tumult in the city [of 's-Hertogenraede], and it was aimed at [the castle's] guard: but our brave and loyal heroes, who had smelled the enemy's gunpowder many times, shot back in such a way that the criminals retreated and fled."
-S.J.P. Sleinada: Oorsprong, Oorzaeke, Bewys (etc.) [p. 29]
To understand why this part can be proven false by the fact there's no other evidence this attack on the castle happened, you need to know that another important source for researchers are the diaries the Abbey Kloosterraede (Rolduc) kept. In this diary, the most important parts of the trials were written down. Even the number of people executed on a day, or who visited the abbey after a day of torturing a prisoner can be found in these diaries.
There is, however, not a single word about the attack Sleinada talks about, despite the fact that this would be something the diary would most definitely have noted.
And on a side note, there were no 'Bokkenrijders' imprisoned in the castle in the summer of 1770. The first prisoner of the third wave, Joseph Keyser, was imprisoned in December 1770.
Proven false
"Eyndelyk is in 1772 den 22 April het doodsvonnis tegens hem gegeeven."
"And finally, on the 22nd of April 1772, [Joseph Kirchhoffs] was sentenced to death."
-S.J.P. Sleinada: Oorsprong, Oorzaeke, Bewys (etc.) [p. 33]
This part can be proven false just by looking up the original death sentence given to Kirchhoffs: it says "den vierden maij 1772" or, in English, "May 4th, 1772". April 22nd 1772 is in no way mentioned throughout the whole sentence and the statement made by Sleinada can thus be proven false.
It is, however, possible that Sleinada knew about the plans made to sentence Kirchhoffs to death, and if those plans were made sometime around April 22nd 1772, it could be possible he just mixed up a few dates, but that would still make the statement that Kirchhoffs was sentenced to death on that date incorrect.

De ware schurk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqMxH0atn18
(SuperEyepatchWolf (geen naam te vinden) / 3 - 12 - 2016 )
‘What Makes a Villain Feel Real?’
van youtuber ‘Super Eyepatch Wolf’ (wat overigens de laatste naam is die je verwacht van iemand waar je nog eens wat van kan opsteken over geode character writing) bevestigt Egbert’s theorie. Eyepatch legt hier uit dat antagonisten, door overtuiging, persoonlijkheid, of louter bestaan, de gebeurtenis(sen) in gang zet waar de protagonist op in moet gaan.
“villains act, heroes react”
Met de term ‘villain’ losjes gebruikt als ‘antagonist’.
Maar hoe complex de uitleg van de term ook is, de herkomst van het woord ‘antagonist’ komt uit het Grieks (antagonistes) en vertaalt ruwweg naar “opponent, rivaal, of concurrent”.
Anti = tegen(werkend)
agonizesthai = strijden om een prijs
(van Dictionary.com)
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/antagonist
(Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 2012 Digital Edition © William Collins Sons & Co. Ltd. 1979, 1986 © HarperCollins Publishers 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012)
De meningen over wat de antagonist van een verhaal precies is lijkt wat moeilijker vast te stellen dan de protagonist als ik kijk naar alle verschillende bronnen die ik ben tegengekomen.  Gelukkig is er wel een duidelijk overlappend thema hier, en dat is dat de antagonist de tegenwerkende kracht is voor de protagonist en het behalen van hun doel. Deze verhouding is dus ook de drijvende motor die het verhaal interessant moet houden, want zonder conflict is er geen verhaal.
En dit lijkt me wel een lekker bruggetje, laten we in het ‘nitty-gritty’  duiken…

You know, its probably petty, but I always used to feel good that Omkara isn't as ruthless as Shivaay, and he hasn't put Gauri through BS like Shivaay did with Anika. But I can't say that anymore 'cos he just ended up pulling this stunt equivalent to the forced Shivika wedding, if not worse, 'cos Om's actions were premeditated. Bah! I have to probably seek help from Shivika fans now, asking them how they got over that horrific wedding last year, so that I can move past the Thursday episode.
Why do you need help from them to get over that? Wasn’t the Friday’s episode enough to help you get over it? See..Shivika’s case was different. The ugliness was more there because Shivaay blackmailed Annika into marrying her by holding her kid brother hostage. Then after the marriage Shivaay seemingly held all the power. He was all, “Imma divorce you in a day!!!” and Annika was made to bear all that. When she wanted to walk out, Daadi emotionally blackmailed her into staying. Annika was made to act like a dutiful wife even though Shivaay kept treating her horribly and saying he didn’t consider her his wife. If I’m not wrong..he was also busy flaunting Tia as his wife to everyone and Annika was being ignored when it was her who really keeping the sanctity of this forced marriage alive.
I don’t think Omkara’s action were equivalent to Shivaay’s. Shivaay used Annika to his own benefit with every intention of discarding her like garbage the minute he was done. Omkara set an elaborate stage to throw Gauri out of his life once and for all. The BIGGEST thing that distinguishes the two events is how Gauri reacted. As mentioned above, Annika didn’t have the power or the authority to walk out of this “marriage” because she was being forced into it by various factors. Whereas Gauri’s immediate reaction after being treated like shit was to lash out at Omkara and telling HIM that she has set him free. That she is DONE. He can take all his misunderstandings and basically shove it up his ass because Gauri Kumari Sharma no longer cared for him. This power was denied to Annika. Shivaay’s actions remain more ugly because for a quite a long time he didn’t pay for them. Omkara? He couldn’t even revel in his “glory” for five minutes canonically before Gauri came running behind him and annihilating him.
Another thing which sets the two events apart is how Shivaay had emotionally and physically tortured Annika. Sure, she had slapped him when he threw his accusations at her that she was a characterless woman (I think tabhi pada tha thappad) but Shivaay retaliated in worse manner. What makes the whole Shivaay Force Marrying Annika scene so hard for woke fans to forget is the way Shivaay treated Annika like a thing. He physically overpowered her and basically told her she was nothing but like the dirt beneath his shoes. He even hunted her with his entire gang. The aesthetics of that scene were on point but the meaning behind it was quite ugly. One girl being chased by 3-4 cars and Shivaay led the pack. She was forced to shut up and play along with Shivaay’s “shaadi shaadi” khel. That is what the Shivika fans had to endure. Some of the fans gave up on them after that scene, it was that disgusting. Some took major time to get over it and what helped them was Shivaay actually turning over a new leaf when he realized what he did to Annika. 
Sure, by comparing the two scenes Omkara’s actions don’t suddenly become less ugly. But I really think that what truly makes an ugly scene completely vile is when the reaction to it isn’t immediate. In Shivika’s case the reaction from Annika wasn’t really immediate. OmRu had to tell Shivaay that he was wrong. Whereas Omkara’s thing with Gauri was so private and Gauri’s reaction was so immediate that not only Omkara’s ugly side was highlighted with neon lights pointing to it..he immediately realized and died at the realization of what he had done. All of that makes this a far more digestible scenario for me than Shivika marriage still remains.
