The Infernal Circus!

Roselyn is the founder of The infernal Circus. After rebelling against her former master, she created this circus alongside side 9 of her closest friends. Valentina Pedrotti is the strong woman and the one whose known Roselyn the longest. Val is also Roslyn’s second in command. Bellatrix Interfector is an acrobatic and aerial dancer, and adoptive sister of Val. Bella is a quiet and solitary woman who is always has her nose buried in a romance novel. It’s better than being social. Lou Lou Lapin uses her skills in sharp shooting to wow the crowd, when she’s not hunting for the latest bounty. Lou also performs with her most trusted companion, a pseudo dragon named Lil Doggie. Finally, we have Isabella Reid! A juggler, a singer and known for her act on The Wheel of Death while riding a unicycle! 

As for staff, we have 18 yer old Lucas Devillier, the older brother of Cezanne Mosse, as well as a engineer, repairman and mechanic at the circus. Angelica Clement is Willow’s adoptive mother and the maid that handles clean up as well as money handling. It may seem like a lot of work for one woman, but when have the assistance of living dolls at your command, the work load becomes a lot less stressful. Chantel Hennaquinn is an inventor who uses her machines to dazzle the crowd and sometimes swindle them out of their money… all for the good of the circus, of course. 

Phiona performs at the Circus too! She performs with her band, is a talented aerialist and acrobatic, and is known as The Rose Jester!

Cheers to Charleston (Chasetell Series) Part 1

My friends and I had decided to take a trip to Charleston, SC to see our favorite show filming. We had one day left when we finally ran into them filming. When we arrived, we were sure to stay quiet so we didn’t ruin the shot and attract attention. My friend Lex got to meet her celebrity crush because he wasn’t filming at the time and mine was filming. I was in awe watching him. He is so incredibly talented. Watching the focused look on his face, how he interacts with others in the scene and the crew that works with him, I was so incredibly proud and happy to see him do what he loves. At some point during filming, I saw him look my way and my heart felt like it stopped. His beautiful brown eyes looked in my direction for half a second and it felt like my entire world was completed. We decided soon after to go back to the beach, and eat dinner that night. 

“His eyes.. God they’re beautiful.. And the look on his face when he’s focused.. I just.. Ugh.” I said to Lex. “You’ll meet him eventually.. I mean, I got to meet Rudy! I told him you love Chase so hopefully he’ll work his magic.” she shrugs. I roll my eyes, “yeah right, I’m not going to get my hopes up.” We went to dinner and decided to head back to the hotel and relax. 

—----------------

The next day, we were at the beach when my phone went off. I took another sip of my mimosa as I look down at it, almost spitting it out at what I saw. I flip my phone around showing the notification to Lex. 

Instagram: @hichasestokes is following you.

        @hichasestokes has sent you a message

“I’ve only had half of a mimosa so I know I’m not drunk. Am I dreaming?” Lex smirked, “nope, that’s real. Now reply!” I put in my phone passcode and check my messages. 

C: hey… is this Chantell?

Me: Yes…?

C: This is Chase.. I saw you yesterday and wanted to talk to you! Took me a bit to track you down.

Me: My friends put you up to this didn’t they.. As a prank?

C: No.. it’s all me. *he sends a selfie*

I squeal loudly, earning several weird looks from locals and my friends. “What the fuck was that about?”, Lex asked. I showed her the photo, “it’s really him. I’m gonna pass out.” She just laughs it off and goes back to her own phone. I take a few deep breaths and decide to reply.

Me: Oh god, I’m sorry! Hi!

C: That’s okay! How are you?

Me: Great now! At the beach right now. How are you?

C: Just got done with filming for the day. I guess you’re still in town then?

Me: Yeah just for a little bit though, our flight leaves tonight.

C: How long until your flight leaves?

Me: We have about three hours before we have to be at the airport. We talked about coming back here soon though.

C: Any chance we can meet up before then? Or how soon will you be back?

Lex nudged me and pulled me out of my own world. “You ok?” she asks. “He- he wanted to meet up..” I say, shocked still. She shrieks, “no way! This is great!” “We may have to leave before they can though”, I say sadly. “We will make it work. Promise.” She replies.

Me: Sure! Want to meet at base camp in 10 minutes? And I don’t know, flights are expensive and work is counting on me.

C: Yeah we can meet you there.. Rudy says to bring Lex.

Me: She was already planning to come to see him lol. She's in love with him.. And she’s going to kill me for telling you that so don’t mention it.

C: Oh I won’t say anything, promise.

C: So does that mean you’re in love with me?

Me:.... I plead the fifth… and thanks for not telling him.

Me: Almost there

C: How does a walk on the beach sound?

Me: Sounds great to us!

Sometimes it's fun to revisit books you love. Today we're taking a quick look at three Latine books we loved so far this year! Have you read them, or are they on your TBR list?

Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie Feiwel & Friends || Group Discussion

A teen girl navigates friendship drama, the end of high school, and discovering her queerness in Ophelia After All, a hilarious and heartfelt contemporary YA debut by author Racquel Marie. Ophelia Rojas knows what she likes: her best friends, Cuban food, rose-gardening, and boys - way too many boys. Her friends and parents make fun of her endless stream of crushes, but Ophelia is a romantic at heart. She couldn't change, even if she wanted to.

So when she finds herself thinking more about cute, quiet Talia Sanchez than the loss of a perfect prom with her ex-boyfriend, seeds of doubt take root in Ophelia's firm image of herself. Add to that the impending end of high school and the fracturing of her once-solid friend group, and things are spiraling a little out of control. But the course of love--and sexuality--never did run smooth. As her secrets begin to unravel, Ophelia must make a choice between clinging to the fantasy version of herself she's always imagined or upending everyone's expectations to rediscover who she really is, after all.

The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes Balzer & Bray || Review

Seventeen-year-old Yamilet Flores prefers drawing attention for her killer eyeliner, not for being the new kid at a mostly white, very rich, Catholic school. But at least here no one knows she's gay, and Yami intends to keep it that way. After being outed by her crush and ex-best friend, she could use the fresh start.

At Slayton Catholic, Yami has new priorities: make her mom proud, keep her brother out of trouble, and most importantly, don't fall in love. Granted, she's never been great at any of those things, but that’s a problem for Future Yami.

The thing is, it’s hard to fake being straight when Bo, the only openly queer girl at school, is so annoyingly perfect. And smart. And talented. And cute. Either way, Yami isn’t going to make the same mistake again. If word got back to her mom, she could face a lot worse than rejection. So she’ll have to start asking, WWSGD: What would a straight girl do?

Told in a captivating voice that is by turns hilarious, vulnerable, and searingly honest, The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School explores the joys and heartaches of living your full truth out loud. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

Our Shadows Have Claws: 15 Latin American Monster Stories edited by Yamile Saied Méndez Algonquin Young Readers || Review

From zombies to cannibals to death incarnate, this cross-genre anthology offers something for every monster lover. In Our Shadows Have Claws, bloodthirsty vampires are hunted by a quick-witted slayer; children are stolen from their beds by “el viejo de la bolsa” while a military dictatorship steals their parents; and anyone you love, absolutely anyone, might be a shapeshifter waiting to hunt.

The worlds of these stories are dark but also magical ones, where a ghost-witch can make your cheating boyfriend pay, bullies are brought to their knees by vicious wolf-gods, a jar of fireflies can protect you from the reality-warping magic of a bruja—and maybe you’ll even live long enough to tell the tale. Set across Latin America and its diaspora, this collection offers bold, imaginative stories of oppression, grief, sisterhood, first love, and empowerment.

Full contributor list: Chantel Acevedo, Courtney Alameda, Julia Alvarez, Ann Dávila Cardinal, M. García Peña, Racquel Marie, Gabriela Martins, Yamile Saied Méndez, Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, Claribel A. Ortega, Amparo Ortiz, Lilliam Rivera, Jenny Torres Sanchez, Ari Tison, and Alexandra Villasante. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

Allette's Connections

Friends

Chantelle Aomi : Back when they attended L’Academie pour les filles royale des Jardins (Royal Garden Academy for Girls), they were on the same basketball team. They were both starters for the team. Their prodigal talents led them to be dubbed the "Princesses of Basketball". Chantelle and Allette both got along as the brains of the team. However, their growing talents caused a strain in their friendship. Allette vows to take revenge on her fellow "Princesses of Basketball" for being the ones who were kind to her and disappointed her greatly when in reality, she just wants to wake them up back to their love of basketball.

Minette Kurokawa: Back when they attended L’Academie pour les filles royale des Jardins (Royal Garden Academy for Girls), they were on the same basketball team. They were both starters for the team. Their prodigal talents led them to be dubbed the "Princesses of Basketball". Allette tutored Minette in math. However, their growing talents caused a strain in their friendship. Allette vows to take revenge on her fellow "Princesses of Basketball" for being the ones who were kind to her and disappointed her greatly when in reality, she wants to wake them up back to their love of basketball.

Saya Otonashi: Allette's newest friend and her fellow ace on Mugen's Basketball team. Allette recognizes Saya's talent as being at the same level as those of the Princesses of Basketball despite not being one. Both of them work together to help Team Mugen achieve victory. Over time, Saya becomes a comforting presence to her.

Kanako Ryuuzaki: In the Saint Seiya verse, Allette has a dream of Persephone's revival and later learns that Kanako is Persphone's vessel.

⚠️WARNING ALCHOL AND DRINKING FOR WHOLE THRAD⚠️

@the-smallest-cub

Though his skills with sword and cryo were something to be marveled at many would Kaeya’s true talent was in his words. That silver tongue told fantastic stories but most of time it just convince people to drink…such as tonight in a warm summer evening at the Angel’s Share. Keaya has persuaded Chantelle to sit and have a drink with him….which turned into 2, and then 3, and 4 just to sample the new wine

The pair was close to drink 11 and the crowd as definitely thinned out and Diluc was starting to clean up for the night and close the doors

“Why are you two still here?” Diluc asked with sneer as he wiped down the bar “I expect better from you Chantelle”

“Aw come now, Diluc, don’t be so hard o-on the lady…*hic* we’re jus’ havin’ fuuuun…” Kaeya slurred tossing back the rest of the wine

Hi friend! I just finished young royals last night and I’m already itching for content ☠️ do you have any fic reccs? I have no triggers, so any kind of content and eating is fine

oh boy DO I

okay well first im going to link to the @willeochsimon's excellent fic rec post and @ungaroyals's fic rec post part one and part two because theirs contain some excellent ones as well as some that i havent read yet that are definitely incredible

of course there can't be a fic rec post without i don't feel like our love is brand new by the incredible @prince-simon. prince simon is a gift to humanity and i am eternally grateful

another gift to humanity of which i am eternally grateful is princess wille introduced to us by @toffeelemon in princess charming & the rebel (and be sure to check out all of the amazing princess wille content that tiff has lovingly curated)

next up is anything posted by @ungaroyals ever. her missing moment series is incredible - chantel has such a good understanding of canon and im constantly in awe. im also SO excited for an unfortunate romance. im obsessed with the first three chapters and cant wait to see where she takes it

OH speaking of being excited to see where people take things, i am beyond excited for the continuation of @malinthebodyguard's autobiography, aka Oversight. it's such a different perspective of canon events and the way such a minor character is explored so fully is just *chefs kiss* masterful

and then of course there is anything @omar-rudeberg does ever. all of her fics are so, like... artful? putting words to it is tricky but somehow lili manages to make even the filthiest filth read like its a poetry. lili is so talented in so many different areas and i'm just in awe all of the time tbh

and then there is Tomorrow Comes by @the-amber-fox. "Five times Simon toppled the monarchy, and one time he didn’t need to." Each of the different stories are so well thought out and fully realized and make me so excited to see which direction lisa is going to point us toward, especially since so many of the Tomorrow Comes outcomes seem entirely plausible. also i would die for agent simon and i mean that.

oh jesus this is so long and i'm sure i forgot so many so i will likely follow this up later with more but AHHHHH i just love this fandom SO MUCH it's incredible how much TALENT exists in such a small little community <333

Jonah plays the piano

Ella clears throat: Mr. Richards?

Jonah: Hello, Ella. Coming to gather your things?

Ella: Yes... so you already know?

Jonah: Yes, Dean Walker informed me. Let me guess, this has something to do with that love distraction you were talking about?

Ella: Something like that...

Jonah: I have to admit, Ella, I was pretty disappointed when I heard the news. You already have a natural talent and you’re full of potential. But clearly, your focus isn’t there. 

Ella: Yeah, I guess you’re right... but, I don’t know how to find that focus!

Jonah: Well, I can teach you how to dance, but I can’t teach you that. All I can give you is if you’re going to find a distraction. Find one that doesn’t have you punching people out by the lockers.

Ella: Ugh. I’m so embarrased...

Jonah laughs: Don’t be, it definitely makes for a good story.

Ella: So... how do you know when you have found a good distraction?

Jonah: I think you just know.

Jonah’s phone pings

Jonah: Well, I got to run. Don’t want to miss this dinner reservation or my fiance will kill me.

Ella: F- fiance?!

Jonah: Yeah, well hopefully after tonight! Gotta run. I plan on seeing you next semester. Make it happen. Bye Miss Wu-Winston!

Ella: Bye, Mr. Richards...

Later

Victoria on Soom: Ella!!! We miss you! Girl, there is so much tea here. But, it is not as fun as it would be if you were here!

Ella laughs: Thanks, Vick. I’m glad you guys are having fun.

Victoria on Soom: I texted you our prom pic. Aren’t we cute?

Ella: Oh my Watcher! You guys are cute. Awww. But, where’ s Eric?

Victoria on Soom: Girl, we have no idea. We haven’t even heard from him.

Ella: Jeez. That’s weird. I hope everything’s alright...

Chantel on Soom: Is that Ella? ... Elle, we wish you were here. Love you!

Ella: Stop!! Don’t let me ruin your fun! Go enjoy homecoming.

Victoria on Soom: Okay, Elle. But know that we miss you and you just say the word and we’re out of here and straight to your house to smother you in hugs.

Ella: I promise not neccesary. Plus even if you snuck past the guards, no way you’re getting past Momzilla.

Victoria on Soom laughs: True! Okay, bye Ella. Don’t punch anyone else while we’re gone! I want to be there next time!

Ella laughs: Bye! Have fun!

Knock on the door

Ella sighs: Mom, you literally just checked on me. What do you think, I’m going to sneak out?

???: I mean, I wouldn’t put it past you, Killer.

Ella: Eric??? What are you doing here?

Eric: I came to cheer up my best friend. What else?

Ella: How’d you even get past my mom?

Eric: Your mom? Oh, I didn’t see her. Your dad let me up.

Ella: Ahhh. That explains it. But, you should be at homecoming! Not wallowing away with me.

Eric: Eh, wallowing with you seems a lot more fun to me. Plus, I brought snacks and games.

Ella: Oooh Don’t Wake the Llama! I haven’t played that game in forever. Oooh and my favorite double chocolate donuts!

Eric: See? I told you this would be more fun.

Ella: Hey and we can watch the new Tiger King while we play.

Eric: Oooh that’s on Simflix already?

Ella: Yes, but first let me show you my brother, Grayson, his dad, and my mom dressed up as Tiger King for Halloween!

Eric: Oh, man. Yeah, this I gotta see.

Ella: Thanks for making this night a little less sucky, Eric.

Eric: Anytime, Elle, anytime.

So, you wanna work Archangel Uriel?

Hey there to people who are curious to work with the Archangel Uriel! I decided to write this short collection of research I have done about the archangel and the people who work with him. These opinions are not mine that I'm writing right now but collections from others who have work with him. (My opinion comes later.) But to many, he is quite an enigma so I decided to write a little about him. He is not the most vocal out of the four archangels. When he talks, he has a stern and an authoritative tone. Some people can perceive him as a woman or man. Though, I will be calling Uriel by the pronouns, he or him.

From my occult/esoteric/spiritual communities that I have worked with they say this archangel and cherubim in their practice is viewed as very positive, yet also very interestingly a scary angel, I will admit, he is not for everyone. People say, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael often are seen more positively and beginner safe then Uriel.

You see to some people Uriel only appears under specific circumstances like if you are a prophet of god or to prevent any terrible disasters from occurring in the invoker’s life (he was the angel that told Noah of the flood).

He is quite good at reading people, he will pinpoint your perfections and your flaws. He will help you with your shortcomings and turn a negative situation into one of reflection and enlightenment. He is also known as a redemption angel. However, redemption is not always an easy as one might think, it takes a lot of learning and hard work to change from any bad habits. He can be quite harsh when necessary, this is only because he wants the invoker to become a better person and expand to greatness.

You could say he is a bit of a perfectionist. He wants only the best for the invoker and the invoker to be successful on whatever path of life they choose to excel in. He hates the wicked and the evil. He will punish all who will go against the will of the good. Not only does he guard the gates of Eden, also he guards at times at the gates of hell as well. He will enact exact justice upon anyone who is out of line or who are cruel in his eyes. (Some say he was the archangel to torment Moses when Moses fell out of line. Scary stuff right?)

Remember he has high standards for everyone this includes the invoker. To be honest this makes him intimidating at first glance. There is a joke that has gone around in some communities of people who worked with him that said he always has a stern expression on his face. Like one author joked that only once did they see Uriel smile. And only once.

 But if you get pass that, many others have also said he is wonderful to work with for clarity, wisdom, intelligence, intuition, inspiration, grounding both spiritually and mentally and some say he founded kabbalistic practices too. He is very much known for his insightful wisdom. He can teach you anything and everything. All you need to do is have the patience. He is wonderful with divination, astrology, dreams, and prophecy. He can explain anything mystical without the invoker getting lost or confused. The people that work with him are often very enlightened with wisdom. When working with him, they are protected from any natural disasters and to those who need a great positive change in revolutionizing their lives to get rid of negative behaviors.  

Let’s get out some short facts about him.

Uriel is the archangel of the North.

Uriel corresponds to the element of Earth.

Uriel's season is Winter.

Uriel rules over the zodiac signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Uriel’s day of the week is Tuesday.

Uriel is sometimes called Auriel, Ariel, and Phanuel.

His favorite time would be midnight

His colors are primarily green and brown. However others have said red, orange, yellow, and purple.

Signs from him are lightening, thunder, storms, rainbows, the number 111, his flaming hand, flaming sword, Scales, lions, books and scrolls

My opinion here doesn’t count cause everything subjective but I’m putting my opinion here anyway: Auriel is what I call him instead of Uriel. Auriel is a very good but a stern archangel. Tasks will get accomplished with him through hard work. He expects the best from you. If you write down a list of things you need to get done and ask Auriel to help you. He will make sure you get everything done on time and it will be perfect. He will try to change your unhealthy habits, behaviors, or situations with negative people in your life. This can be anything from depression or circumstances where you feel powerless against an aggressor. He will make you look at things differently like hardships and reframe it to be a positive outlook of the experience. If you wanted help with forgiveness, he will teach you how to let go of things about sadness, regret and despair.

You might even notice he is very similar to Archangel Michael. However, Michael focuses on protection whereas Auriel focuses on wisdom. He can tell your life’s purpose too. He loves the arts, music, writing, and poetry. He will improve your talents too. He has this great ability to give you a spark of inspiration in any field you so desire. He loves to help you creating new and inventive things. He will get straight to the point about everything too. To be honest loved working with him, he was very helpful to me. TLTR This grumpy wise Cherubim is great also a little scary. Don't forget this is all subjective to debate upon. Go you to him if you feel drawn to praying or working with him. Your experience might be different then others. My book sources are: Azrael loves chocolate, Michael's a Jock by Chantel Lysette *this book talks about his personality and I enjoyed the book*

Uriel: Communicating with the Archangel for Transformation & Tranquility by Richard Webster *this book shows Uriel in how he helps others and has meditations specifically for him*

Angels: Companion in Magick by Silver Ravenwolf *This book goes into his personality, all types of meditations and prayers to any angel. I highly recommend this book.*

Archangels of Magick by Damon Brand *This provides magick seals, and descriptions of Uriel, ways to call on him*

My other online sources are hard to find right now I will list them later.

Locking Up Crushed Hopes

A/N: another short featuring an OC, I want to work on developing further, someday. I have ideas for her but i’ll get there. . . if I outline her specific spin-off. :3

Word Count: 377

TW: None

***

Smooth melody of jazz music fills a small bedroom, matching a faint lighting of a lamp. Sheets of papers quivers from strong wind of a table fan.

On the bed, a woman lays down and buries her face on the pillow. She presses a button on a stereo, lowering the volume. She hangs her other arm in the edge of it.

It's been a long day at work, so Chantelle wants to catch up on having enough sleep. Now she has two days off to do whatever she wants to do. Originally, her friends offered her to join them for drinks but she had to turn them down. Even though she feels slightly guilty, she didn't want to spend this specific night in a bar.

Because today is the fourth year anniversary since she left Grand Motion Records. After she resigned from her position on the roster. She couldn't stay any longer after her. . . former music collaborator refused to treat her well. And the company replaced her with someone they consider more talented than her.

She rubs her forehead, trying to take a deep breath. In. Out. In. Out.

Some days, she think she can forget how they used her and tossed her aside. Some days, the moments she dedicated herself to the job haunt her. She used to work all day and all night, searching inspiration for the next song, burning out slowly each dry.

It sapped a big part of her love for composing music. Back then, she could easily find the flow in any melody stuck in her head. Then all of a sudden, she's just. . . empty.

Chantelle hoped to get away from the memories she locked away. But still floats in the back of her mind, every now and then.

These drowned thoughts aren't helping her out. Things have changed and she can't go back.

When she decided to take on fashion design, she started to get a better headspace. She can choose her own work schedule at her own pace, her boss doesn't expect her to churn out every hour, and she has people looking out for her.

At this point, she still hasn't moved on completely but with enough progress, she can get there. It's what she's content with waiting for.

Top 10 fights in women’s boxing that I’d like to see.

Simple enough. There’s a bunch of really good fighters floating around right now in women’s boxing and great fights to be made. Here are 10 fights I’d really like to see get made and that haven’t been signed yet as far as I’m aware.

Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall - This is basically the only fight for either woman. At least until Lauren Price turns pro. Marshall is the only woman to have ever beaten Shields, but that was when Shields was 17 almost a decade ago. Shields has proven to be the most dominant woman in boxing to date this far, winning the undisputed title in two weight classes. Marshall has captured a world title at middleweight and has established herself as the most dangerous finisher in the sport currently with an 80% KO rate.

Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano - The two women with the most money behind them in the sport. Taylor is arguably the best P4P in the sport and Serrano is not too far behind her. It’s be the unified super lightweight champion vs the 7 division champion going for her record tying 8th. A slick combination puncher vs a stalking wrecking ball power puncher. You can’t really ask for more out of this one. Word on the curb is that we’ll see it in 2022 but they said that in 2019/2020 so I won’t hold my breath.

Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron/Mary McGee - Should the Serrano fight fail to materialize, this is the next best thing. Cameron and McGee are going to face off this month for 140lb supremacy and with Taylor all but clearing out 135lbs, it’d make sense for her to move up and challenge the winner since they all fight for Hearn. Would be a tremendous fight.

Naoko Fujioka vs Marlen Esparza - Fujioka made her US debut recently, beating out Mexican Sulem Urbina. It was a tremendous milestone in a storied career that is still chugging along at 44 years old. Insane. To really solidify her status as an All Time Great in the minds of non-Japanese boxing fans, I’d love to see Fujioka face off with a “big-time” American talent like Olympic Bronze Medalist Marlen Esparza. It’s a great fight on paper and I’d be down to see Fujioka get one relatively big payday before hanging them up like she has talked about.

Lourdes Juarez vs Yessica Chavez - I like that RIng Magazine is putting in the effort to cover women’s boxing finally but the fact that 0 women in the P4P are from Mexico is a crime. Mexico has been holding down boxing’s toughest divisions for decades, long before women could call themselves “Olympians”. And Lourdes Juarez is the latest in a long line of amazing women talent from the country. Hasn’t lost since 2014 while fighting some of the best in the world at super flyweight and below. Crazy. And Yessica Chavez, while she isn’t my fav, has got names on her resume and world titles. And yet they’ve never fought. Rectify that.

Seniesa Estrada vs Tina Rupprecht - I want to see Estrada start to unify and Rupprecht is a damn good boxer with a world title, undefeated, and who’s the same age as Estrada. Makes sense to me.

Seniesa Estrada vs Yokasta Valle - Basically see #6. At least Valle has talked about wanting to fight Estrada though.

Katie Taylor vs Estelle Mossely - a rematch from the amateur days. While Taylor has like 3 or 4 wins over Mossely, Mossely is one of the last two women to have beaten Taylor on the amateur scene. Mossely hasn’t been other worldly as a pro, but this is the type of fight I see her getting up for.

Delfine Persoon vs Maiva Hamadouche/Mikaela Mayer winner - Mayer-Hamadouche would have been on this list had they not signed the contract. Instead, I want to see the winner test themselves against a proven elite boxer with P4P skills in Persoon. There’s a lot of talk about unification and a potential WBSS tournament at this weight class but if that falls apart, this is the one I’d like to see.

Jackie Nava vs Segolene Lefebvre - Talking about the Mexican women again, Jackie Nava is one of those women who have been holding it down for Mexico for 20 years now. At 41, she still turning away these younger women rather impressively and hasn’t lost since 2011. Lefebrve is amongst the youngest at the upper echelons of super bantamweight, is undefeated, and has the WBO title. I want to see if Nava has enough left in the tank to add another world title to her collection or if Lefebvre has what it takes to be an elite fighter.

Special Mention:

Anne Wolfe vs Laila Ali exhibition - Triller was able to give us the fight between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr, why not this fantasy match up? And unlike RJJ, I think both women are relatively healthy. So why not give them a big money fight to go out on?

Cassi Van Den Dungen

Place: Runner Up

Average: 3.8

Cassi seems to get a lot of fanfare due to her amazing post work success and high fashion look. If you ignore the personality (when we get to that) her look was just out of this world. She had a very unique youthful look despite her smoking habits but had issues with her fast metabolism (and would struggle with that post show as well, which I will get to). On the show, she had the complete opposite run to Tahnee where she was a star for the first half before dipping into my bottom spots for the rest before making one of the best shots of the cycle. It was great to see the bogan girl with a shitty attitude model her ass off on set even with no experience because it was amazing to see what she could do. Her first 5 shots (excluding her U by Kotex, which was a disaster) were all stellar. I adored her swimwear, her performance on Trapeze hit the nail right on the money and despite a disappointing photo, Cassi still killed it at the Natural Beauty set and deserved a much better shot chosen for her. Not to mention that her desert is one of the best of the cycle in one of the best photoshoots of the entire series. After her excellent first half though, she seemed to trip on something because after that, she started creating some terrible photos. I will say that she may have been sabotaged in some of these photoshoots with her Tourist set showing that she had a much better performance on set than the photo shown and her Ford having some better shots on frame, however, with the chosen shots given, she became one of the more weaker girls of the group. Her Chantel and Beast Cancer Awareness were very mediocre with her Ford being the worst of the group. She was able to redeem herself with her masterful Ocean shots though so she was able to stabilize in the right time. As a model, I won’t deny her talent, she was clearly a natural born model but as a personality and person (as shown on the show), she came off as immature and rude. Her attitude to a lot of the girls couldn’t be seen as acceptable now and it was tiresome to see Cassi complain and threatening to quit before deciding to stay. Also, the “iconic” moment (?) where she threaten to punch Clare in the shower and calling Eloise and Tahnee fat after they put a bunch of Cassi’s and Mikarla’s cigarette butts into a Mcdonald’s bag on her bed (I don’t even know). I will blame her young age and her upbringing rather than Cassi herself but it got hard to watch when all the girls especially ganged up on Cassi by the end of the competition. Besides her terrible attitude and anger issues (which she was clear and unable to hold back in professional settings like the commercial week), she was one of the worst walkers in the group. She did improve with time but her iconicly saying fuck at the end of the runway in the beginning was funny yet cringeworthy to see. She just flared her limbs all randomly with no direction and walked like she had a limp. Luckily, she did improve by the end and considering how strong she is on runway nowadays, it’s great to see her improve the most out of the cast. I feel like Cassi had it in it to win it, however her lack of desire during the show alongside her crappy attitude turned off the judges and myself included. I wish she just went with the contacts given to her after the show instead of going back with her lowlife boyfriend since I truly feel like she could be more successful than she actually could’ve been. Not to mention how Alex Perry basically shamed her off of runway due to hiring her despite her very unhealthy frame and blaming it all on her even though she had trouble gaining weight. Fucked up in every sense of the word. Cassi is a misunderstood soul by many but clearly young and naive at the time, she’s grown up and has continued to model to this day despite Alex Perry shaming her off and going back to her town instead of traveling the world. I wish she made it international, but who knows?

@sebastianshaw 

I remember you saying something about a scriptwriter Emma Frost actor Sebastian AU awhile back, and I’ve had that idea living in my head since then:

Sebastian first comes to Hollywood as an engineer/carpenter working on sets.  He’s seen how quickly the movies are blowing up as major sources of wealth, and he hopes to work his way into the business, either by starting his own manufacturing company that supplies equipment to film productions, or by somehow rising into management at a film company itself.  He doesn’t care which - business is business either way.  But he never imagined becoming an actor.  He is “discovered” while working on sets, by a director that just needs a big, burly man for a bit part.  Of course, Sebastian applies himself to acting with the same hard work and discipline he applies to every other aspect of his life, and that bit part leads into other, larger roles.  It helps that he catches the eye of producer Lourdes Chantel, whose family has invested a lot of money in the studio.  Sebastian is a pretty good actor - he can’t play any role (he’s terrible in comedy unless he’s allowed to play pure straight man), but he can capture the manly, stoic hero extremelyc well.  Lourdes sees his....potential (among other things), and she helps his career take off.

Emma was pushed into acting by her controlling stage parents, who are also responsible for the cosmetic surgery that transformed her into a blond bombshell.  Emma is an excellent actress, but she finds herself constantly typecast as the sexy femme fatale or blond bimbo.  It doesn’t help that her father, who originally acted as her manager, pushed her into signing contracts at a young age that gave him control of a great deal of her money.  She’s since broken free of him, but isn’t as rich as she should be for the work that she’s done.  Of course, Emma is significantly more intelligent than she’s been given credit for.  She wants to be taken seriously, both as an actress and as a writer and director.  She wants money and power, and the ability to control her own image.  But the general public still sees her mostly as a sex symbol.  She’s determined to get her script produced, and if that means she has to accept popular leading man Sebastian Shaw as her star, she’ll do it.

Lourdes Chantel - although originally buying her way into the industry with her family’s money, Lourdes has intelligence and business sense.  She sees Emma as a kindred spirit, and wants to get her movie made.  Of course, she’s determined to advance Sebastian’s career at the same time.

Haven - another investor at the studio, Haven hopes to use the profits from the movies that she invests in to help fund her charities in America.  This means she’s a little more risk-averse than some other investors.  She’s not really interested in movies, she just wants a profitable investment so that she can use the money for good.  But Lourdes may convince her to give Emma’s film a chance.  Her brother is constantly being chased after by talent scouts that want to put him in films.  He constantly turns them down.

Fabian Cortez - a male model who used his family money to buy his way into the industry, Fabian is, despite Emma’s protests, one of Sebastian’s co-stars on the film.  Extremely difficult, to say the least, Fabian is an absolute diva.

Bobby Drake - the film’s accountant.  A charming young man whose easy-going demeanor masks his constant stress about the film going over budget.  He gets especially close to Emma’s brother Christian.

Christian Frost - Emma asks him to compose music for the film, but it’s mostly an excuse to give him a job that will get him away from their terrible parents.

St. John Allerdyce - because I have to put Pyro into every story, regardless of whether he actually belongs there.  As a romance novelist, St. John is called in by producers to help “spice up” Emma’s script.  Naturally the two of them clash immediately.  Eventually, St. John, who genuinely likes the script, agrees to help Emma get the film made her own way, if she will in turn support him getting a movie adaptation of one of his novels.  May get into a love triangle with Bobby and Christian.

I’d include Shinobi, but this is a younger Sebastian, so I don’t think Shinobi is really an adult yet.  (Although, going by those standards, Bobby shouldn’t be an adult either, but whatever.) 

Emma’s sisters also show up on set to annoy everyone.  I don’t even know what they are after, but they are ambitious.  Maybe Joanna Cargill is also there as a stuntwoman on the film. 

Don’t feel obliged to respond to this, I’m just having fun.
