It's be a while since I've sent you anything Rene, I was gonna come off anon, but I remembered I said I'd do that after sending K and Euijoo thoughts, and I may be many things, and a woman of a word is one of them. So here are some K hard thoughts for ya, so 8 down 1 to go.
If anyone in &Team is obsessed with sending and receiving nudes, it's absolutely K. He is the kind of guy that takes artful nudes, they don't make you say oh a penis, instead you just say oh damn. He's the kind of guy that knows how to take nudes that aren't just dick out, the type of nudes you save on your phone in a secret folder, the type of nudes that always make you ask for more. He however will take any nude he can from you, like whether it's a full nude or a partial, and honestly, I feel he'd be the type to get more bricked up from a photo of you wearing a silk little number that makes you look amazing, rather than from an actual nude. Like he thinks nudes are great, but when you send him a photo of yourself wearing that new little lingerie set you bought to wear for him, he falls in love with you all over again, wonders if it's possible for a dick to get so hard is stays that way, and wonders if it's possible to have a permanent love boner. He, of course, keeps every photo you send him in a hidden folder on his phone, but he has a secret folder within that photo for the photos he believes are the best, these photos are the ones he looks at first when he's missing you, which is honestly always. He's the type to ask you to send him a nudes, and then he reciprocates, sending you nudes back. K is the type of guy that if you did a boudoir photoshoot, his first reaction wouldn't be oh you did this for me, it would be why didn't you do this with me. I've talked about how he loves nudes, but like he would also have a thing for couple nudes. Like the two of you naked or almost naked tangled up in each other, even better to him, or him wearing pants while you just wear his oversized shirt, gets him harder than a photo of you actually naked does. K is also the one I think would enjoy sending dirty videos the most, like he'd send you a selfie followed by a video, and it's just a video of him jacking off. He would like you sending him videos of you touching yourself, but I think he'd enjoy filming you touching yourself even more. If anyone is to make a sex tape, it's absolutely him. He's the type to want to film at least one sex tape, says it's so he can jerk off to it when he's away from you, but he'd have no problem with filming multiple, that is if you want to. Definitely keeps at least one short video, probably of you going down on him, on his phone. Has all the other videos loaded on his computer, and will make you sit and watch them with him sometimes, calls it foreplay and absolutely narrates the whole time, commenting on what he liked and what he didn't, what he wants to do again and what he's gonna do to you tonight, all while touching you. The type to film the two of you having sex, but not getting your faces into the shot, then calls it artistic. Also the type to show you videos of others, explaining he wants to do that with you, then films your own version of that. Films pov videos sometimes, mostly you sucking him off, and absolutely jerks off to them when you aren't around.
you’re so real for this anon, yudai would definitely be the type to film his sexual acts with you and go back to ‘em when he’s away on tour with his members

It’s insane to me that people can’t fathom the idea of others disliking Annabelle. While there are absolutely fans who do and will hate any woman Sebastian associates with, the majority of his fans are very much in touch with reality and have noticed that something is off.
Nobody thinks it’s a little odd that he isn’t overtly affectionate with her? Or even mildly affectionate? Especially when we’re discussing Sebastian, whose love language is physical touch. Nobody thinks it’s weird that he was seated right next to her at her brother’s wedding and didn’t acknowledge her once? Nobody thinks it’s weird that it looks like he can’t even stomach holding her hand? Whether Annabelle is the loveliest woman there is (which I highly doubt, and will get to why in a moment) or not, photos don’t lie.
I don’t know Sebastian, and probably never will. But I think having to spend time with someone who, based off of any interview of hers that you can read, watch, or listen to, severely lacks a sense of reality, humility, or work ethic can take a toll on anyone. And let’s be clear: she isn’t some innocent, sweet girl receiving random hate from her “boyfriend’s” fans. Annabelle appears to be very calculated, and has no qualms about stalking her exes or their partners. She’s been caught in the act stalking Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin on multiple occasions. Hell, she’s even been caught keeping tabs on Sebastian on the Loewe fashion show livestream! How can anyone find that healthy? People have strong opinions about her for legitimate reasons. Ffs, she was just caught ON VIDEO disrespecting a PA on the set of Mercy. Like, badly. You watch that girl fall apart as she basically pushes past her. That kind of behavior is unacceptable and tells me all I need to know about her. If we’re going to acknowledge that Sebastian is a grown man, we’re also going to acknowledge that Annabelle is a grown woman. She should do and know better, but doesn’t. Saying that doesn’t make me a misogynist. It makes me an adult with a few ounces of integrity.
Mod, I respect your opinions and the boundaries you set within them. I’m sorry if I started a fire with my original ask. I do stand by what I said, especially the part about Sebastian being a grown man. At the end of the day, he also consented to whatever this is with Annabelle. It’s definitely possible that he didn’t realize just how toxic the situation would be, but it is still his job to be responsible about who and what he lets into his life. None of us can tell him what to do. We don’t know him, and we don’t have a right to make choices for him. I hope that he finds his happiness and his peace sooner rather than later.
1. Thank you for sending messages & I hope you'll keep doing it! I love how logical you are.
2. I agree so much with everything you said.
I don't know how they do not find it even a bit suspicious how he switched... like he was private before in his relationships, but this is not private. And yes, physical touch = his love language, and you can see easily the change.
Every moment you mentioned 🙌🏻
Yes, I personally do not like Annabelle before she even was with Sebastian (that doesn't mean I hate her, obviously). She waa disrespectful to crew people, and as you said, she stalked Dakota and people said she checked stories, and let's remember she followed HIS fan! Oh, and I got second hand of embarrassment when she complained about Tom Cruise not wanting to kiss her (in the film) and how that was his loss. She praised royalty as well... And she seems out of touch with the real world.
But us thinking this doesn't mean we hate her. We just don't... stan her. We aren't her fans. And we have every right to have an opinion.
And everything you said about Sebastian is sooooo on point! He put in balance what is more important in his opinion and made his choice, but of course he didn't realize how things will turn out to be.
I also find it funny how he followed a fan and literally made it obvious (which I've already known) he is on social media.
Please do not apologize and you are always welcome to state your opinions and ask questions etc here. I don't care if others will be upset about it. You are respectful and you do not bother anyone💕

Xdinary lore
Tumblr media
I'm excluding performance videos here for obvious reasons, and I generalized the b-sides sometimes as they do not always add much to the plot. This does not include interpretation of the lyrics.
Happy Death Day
Happy Death day is Xdinary heroes' first interaction with ♭form. The clown-esque setting is the real world and every other set we see is in the VR world. This is also proven by their accompanying performance videos, where one is called the offline mode and the other the online mode (which this first photo here just further solidifies).
Tumblr media
So we see them just doing their thing, until surveillance-type drones appear, which bear the message 'unusual action detected'.
Tumblr media
We them see the boys trying to argue with one of the bots, which soon after explodes. I try not to read too much into how and why the thing explodes because I can't really explain it. But it leads to the fact that XH can now take their instruments again and keep performing after being hold up by the bots. Though the system further upholds them (or maybe it is their own fault for ignoring the warnings?), and quickly errors soon after.
Tumblr media
Though right after this shot we also see that they have started to blow up on ♭form. Users seem to like what they're doing a lot.
Tumblr media
Which just motivates them to reconnect once more.
Tumblr media
Something which I also mentioned in the general theme/story part is when we see them reconnect we also get a flash of another warning. The error which we actually see on screen warns them 'please do not attempt to perform' (I actually don't have a screenshot for this because it is so hard to get in frame let alone read, so you just have to trust me on this one!), which they of course ignore. We also see them expanding their ensemble space because of the hype they received from their fans, as we now have a new location/set where they perform (with the white outfits). This location also looks quite like a withered basement, which leads me to believe that they're trying to continue as a group more quietly.
A scene that I really like from this is where we zoom out a bit to reveal all kinds of avatars from users cheering them on (which I never noticed until recently). I also love how we can even see their user names floating above their heads.
Tumblr media
At the very end of the MV, we zoom out of a shot that looks quite similar to the picture above, and watch from a pc screen. This pc screen first displays the ♭-note (the ♭form logo) and then we see multiple other screen flashing by with the same logo. And then after we see a screen flash an error message.
Tumblr media
So in general this is about them coming together, and already meeting errors in the system, whilst also reaching a level of success.
Test Me + Strawberry Cake
Now this MV is basically summarized by the first shot.
Tumblr media
And also a bit by the second one.
Tumblr media
We see that within ♭form a competition is going on, a kind of battle of the bands. However, this system is rigged, because the winner has already been decided. This we see right in the frame after the one I screenshotted here, because the trophy for this match already bears a name on it (and it also says so on screen).
In the scene right after, when the music starts to play for the first time, we see that XH fails during the qualifying round by playing a 'wrong' note. And also they throw a small fit which is just funny.
Tumblr media
So then comes the plan to rig the whole tournament. Next, we get to their kind of headquarters where they're planning out where the building is and how to get in and stuff. A really cool shot I found is that they even tried objecting before planning out of this stuff, as they send an objection.
Tumblr media
And then this is part of the planning board in the next shot.
Tumblr media
Also I'm obsessed with this frame where there plan is drawn out and it is literally what they do later in the video so I'm putting it here for appreciation and vibes.
Tumblr media
This one as well just for pure appreciation.
Tumblr media
So then they board the train/metro to get to the location, which is also the set they used to film strawberry cake in (and very maybe it is also the set used in Maniac by Stray Kids). This train is obviously in hands of ♭form because there are posters of the character that is destined to win (called roboctopus). Then their plan continues, as O.de distracts the guards and the rest sneak in.
The goal is to then put their name in the bracket which they fulfill by hacking into it. I kept pausing the shot where you see the hacking thing happen and I just happen to see this code. I still don't know the meaning but I thought it is nice to include anyway.
Tumblr media
There is also another warning message before it says that their hacking was a success, but I cannot read what the text below it says for the life of me.
So then we all probably know what happens: they play against roboctopus and win the contest. Though the fact that XH rigged the contest leaves ♭form with an easy counteraction: Xdinary Heroes are now wanted criminals.
Tumblr media
Also this is the first time we have the outro where the last text on screen is cut, which used to be a spoiler towards their next era.
Overall, Test Me is the group expanding their ensemble space, gaining more fame and at the same time gaining more hate from the authorities.
Also a small and random detail is that there is a lot of energy drinks and vending machines with Xtreme High (XH).
Hair Cut + X-MAS
Here we enter a new environment, ♭form's amusement park called dream garden, which also is affirmation that we're still in the VR world.
Tumblr media
We can very obviously see how they've grown quite a group of fans for themselves in this world.
Tumblr media
Fun thing that I just noticed: not only do they sell happiness at the stands in this park, some also sell mufflers, which are used to drown out sounds made by certain instruments (a way for the authorities to stop fans from listening to XH). You can see it in the background of this shot.
Tumblr media
There's a lot to this MV that does not necessarily mean anything to the main plot I'm describing here, but I will mention it a bit as well.
So O.de, Gaon and Jungsu get pulled into the mirror maze type of set, where they are welcomed by the darker sides om themselves. The more simplistic sets are basically the representations of negativity, which they need to cut out of their life. A fun fact to add to this is during the showcase they said that the gardening and barber concepts come from the fact that they need to sort and cut away the bad parts of themselves.
Now that the world they're in is questioning whether they are villains or heroes, they themselves are as well. They are literally held up a mirror to reflect on their deeds and intentions.
Tumblr media
By breaking out of these thoughts (again literally because O.de breaks the glass), they again are met with errors and warnings.
Tumblr media
And then is to us revealed that this place was danger after all, as the sign from the beginning changes.
Tumblr media
You can actually see what they mean by this danger if you focus on the background of some of the shots that follow; the rides are broken off and electric sparks are flying around. Some of the carts even fall down. So maybe the group was invited here as the special guest (explained below) because it was an attempt to rid of them?
Then we see XH start to smash a bunch of things, including their own instruments and a sign that encourages people to join ♭form. This can be see as an act of rebellion against the whole system. I was actually able to find that on some of the posters it speaks of the grand opening of ♭form garden, so XH just kind of ruined that by setting the place on fire.
Random thing I have to mention: the 'hello, world' sign in the back is one of the cooler easter eggs I've found.
Tumblr media
Also here is a screenshot where you can see the posters the best. There is one that speaks of the grand opening with Xdinary Heroes as their special guest. It also says: 'What can be next? Guess what! The light is coming in. Its blinding'. The other poster has details on the opening, the location is called DreamLand.
Tumblr media
Then we get onto the last and most important scenes of this whole MV.
Tumblr media
We see a phone, which I'm assuming is from one of the members. And then we get the next shot.
Tumblr media
It is a message from ♭form, telling them that their police report has been submitted for review. Aka a big spoiler to the next MV.
And yet another warning/error message to top the whole thing off:
Tumblr media
The TLDR for this one is that Hair cut is the point where everyone (including XH themselves) are questioning the goodness of them, so much so that it is 'overloading them'. Their popularity is used against them, as ♭form tries to rid of them by inviting them to this opening, which turns out to be danger. Though XH fights back equally hard by smashing all of DreamLand.

Hi! I’m skeptic when it comes to paranormal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not dismissing your tarot and pendulum readings. I have seen coffee horoscopes come true; but I’m still having a hard time accepting something that can’t be rationally and scientifically explained so here’s my question have your tarot readings ever come true? And I mean solid ones not reading to much into some events and trying to attribute them to readings.
Hello Anon, thank you for the ask. I've had plenty of both tarot readings and pendulum readings come true, and I've also had some that were pretty revealing. I've had some skeptical people send in requests for readings done with them withholding pertinent information, although I do not wish to elaborate on what those details are or who these people are out of respect for their privacy. A lot of the readings I've given people from tarot and pendulum readings (I use my pendulum and printable abc chart when I'm giving a tarot reading fyi) did reveal things that ended up being true that weren't a 50/50 shot or even a matter of multiple choice. My readings are more detailed than generic "coffee horoscope" readings that could apply to anything (or "read too much into things") to make the real broad statements applicable, as you are talking about here. I've come across and heard of con artists of "psychics" and also ones that have downright misled people almost tragically so too. I've elaborated on many things to help make sense of things and connect the dots but that would make this post too long.
It is not absolutely not my job to convince people the "supernatural" exists or happens. If someone doesn't believe what I have to say, that is perfectly fine. I don't make money with readings I do nor do I want compensation, I simply make posts about my readings and that is that. Take it or leave it. I also cherry pick the crap out of who I decide to assist. Why? There are a lot of people who frankly don't want help, they just are time wasters who want to hear what they want to hear instead of hearing the truth. I will however say this: Based on what I do know about "the other side" and have made some posts about, it's extremely foolish of these "ghost hunters" and other "paranormal researchers" to keep going to these said "haunted places" and such in the name of "proving the other side exists". It does not matter how much physical evidence is out there (videos, photos, detailed diary entries, etc.).
It does not matter how truthful people are with their own personal accounts, people will always dismiss these things until it happens to them point blank and will use everything in the book to deny the legitimacy of these accounts because of the bad apples out there. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof right? Wrong. I say in this case, let people learn things the hard way with their own eyes and physical senses. They got plenty of videos and photos to go through, people are NOT entitled to proof the other side exists. Everyone will see the truth for themselves whether they're physically still alive or after they physically die period. Seeing is believing....
Why many of these self declared "skeptical" and "rational" people insist on cherry picking when diary entries, videos, photos, etc. work as proof and when they don't is a bit beyond me. If diary entries, videos, photos, etc. are requested for psychological diagnoses, disease diagnoses, etc. at times and in determining behavioral and physical patterns, why is this acceptable proof of something "abnormal" going on in this case but it is not when it comes to so called "paranormal experiences"? Sometimes these people are in fact less "skeptical" and less "rational" because they blindly believe what they are told is fact by "established organizations" like the government, scientific studies, etc. that have proven time and time again they do not always tell us everything they know or have outright lied in the name of "financial" or "self-protective" interests.
Am I saying all scientific studies are incorrect? Am I saying that one community is entirely wrong and the other is entirely correct? I am saying none of these things, as I know the truth is somewhere in the middle as is often the case with really anything. I am not saying you are one of these people who blindly believe what they are told Anon, as I do appreciate you sending in this ask even if you do not believe in divination. At the end of the day, people do not believe in these things until it happens to them. That's just how most people are, it's human nature. They have to learn things exist (or see things are not quite what they seem) when they see it and feel it with their own eyes. A lot of the so called "rationale" people have for dismissing these things could in fact be used to disprove really any of their own everyday experiences. I will say that when multiple physical senses are involved with things (ex. seeing and touching, smelling and touching, feeling nauseated and coughing while seeing new surroundings, etc.), this is when you know something is definitely happening. But then again, as Mark Twain once said "Life is but a dream" and therefore everything we see is just "our perception", right? This type of philosophy by the way I do not believe to be true, this is just a way to gaslight and brainwash people on a psychological level.
Thank you for the ask Anon. I apologize if this may come across in a negative way, I merely was simply trying to address my stance on what many self labeled skeptics say that tend to outright dismiss the truthful, consistent experiences because of the bad apples out there. Truth is stranger than fiction...

Unraveling Over the Holidays
Genre: Fan Fiction
Pairing: Henry Cavill/OFC
Warnings: Fluff. Implied Pandemic world we live in
Rating: G
Length: Drabble
Disclaimer: a strict work of fiction, I own nothing except the original characters and the plot line. In no way am I affiliated to any of it.  
A/N: Inspired by the need to write more Henry and Nell, along with Henry’s latest IG post and here we have it. 
Tumblr media
Henry Cavill Master List
“Almost have it, Wild Boy.” Henry announced looking into the abyss of the computer they were attempting to build.  This was their second this year, a true feat. Rarely did Henry and Ivan get the time to break down and rebuild their own systems. It was a welcome hobby, keeping them busy when there wasn't much else to do these days.
They had been working away on the project since breakfast. Frustrated mumbling and grunting seemed to be the only sounds coming from the other room. Nell listened, checking in on them from time to time, waiting for them to finish. Today was the day they were going to finally trim their Christmas tree. After days of waiting, it would finally be a sight to behold. Or as much a sight to behold as they could manage. All in all Nell felt that she decorated a pretty damn fine looking tree.
It was shortly after lunch, when Nell began to get annoyed. When she'd brought in a plate of sandwiches and asked her husband and son if they would be done soon, both had told her that they needed ten more minutes. Three hours and one boasting Instagram photo later...
“Dad, I think I have this backwards.” Ivan furrowed his brow staring at the piece that he was attempting to put in.
“Let me look.” Henry moved to take a closer inspection.
Not wanting the break anything, risking a costly repair. Ivan was learning fast and enjoyed working with his hands. More than that, he really enjoyed the uninterrupted time with his dad. “Not backwards, but the next slot over.” Instructing his son how to put the piece in properly.
Neither of them seeming to notice or care that Nell had drug out their boxes of Christmas decorations. Outside, she and Henry had strung lights in a few bushes and around their garden early in the month. Wanting to get it done in case they got an unexpected cold or worse. Inside Nell had put up her favourite battery operated candles, the old fashioned looking ones that stood in the windows. Every window in the farm house had a candle display. The kitchen had lights and a few decorations, the sitting room, the office, and even the bathrooms were ready.
All they needed was to get the tree decorated. Presents under a naked tree was plain wrong.
“Henry, Ivan.” Nell tapped her foot on the floor, her arms folded across her chest. Huffing at the two of them. She should have known better than to let them tear apart that damn computer this morning.
“I think she saw.” Ivan wasn't doing a very good job at whispering, his mother could hear him on the other side of the room. Nell rolled her eyes. Of course she had saw the photo, over 3,000 people had saw that photo and it had only taken five minutes.
“What is it, darling?” Henry leaned back in his chair, glancing over his shoulder at his wife. Smiling sweetly, his usual trick when he wanted to attempt getting out of something.
“Tree.” She gestured to the tree behind her.
“What about it? Is it too dry? Ivan, didn't I ask you to water that this morning?” Shaking his head, Henry glanced at his son.
“I did, dad.” Ivan huffed, holding the light at the perfect angle to see inside the box.
“Guys, can we please decorate this tree? It's been here since Sunday.”
“We'll get to it.”
“When? It's already Friday. Henry, we have had this in here for nearly a week. A naked, boring, lackluster tree.” Lecturing, Nell rubbed her temples, “Christmas is in a week! A week! This is the latest we have ever left the tree.”
Setting down his manual, Henry pushed his chair away from the desk, standing to observe the tree. He hadn't thought it was that big of a deal, they had gone last week and picked out the tree, Henry wasn't sure that this would be the final spot for the Christmas icon. Something Nell would assume was an excuse.
He should have taken the photo from the other side, oops. Had he not mentioned the bare tree to the world, his wife likely wouldn't have been making such a deal about it. Until now, Nell had been avoiding it as much as him and Ivan.
“Do you want to do it today?” Wrapping his arms around her waist, he kissed the back of her head. “The wild boy and I are more than happy to let you take over.”
If she wanted to decorate the tree, by herself, it would have been done hours ago.
“Nice try, but this was to be a family activity.” Nell furrowed her brow, huffing. “Why can't you stop fiddling with that damn box for twenty minutes?”
“I love you, Mrs. Cavill.” He knew exactly how to win this battle.
“Not working.”
“Worth a try,” Henry shrugged giving her a kiss on the cheek. Squeezing his arms tighter around his wife, he groaned. Caving to her whim. “I'm going to make us some cocoa, then we can get this tree decorated. Wild boy, help your mum get the decorations out, please.”
“Uh, no.” Shaking her head, Nell escaped his clutches. “I am going to make the cocoa,” gently tapping the tip of Henry's nose she grinned, “You and Ivan can untangle the lights. I have been asking you all week, get to work.”
Laying on the floor by the tree, Kal boofed and yawned. He had heard her asking multiple times over the week, but what could be do about it? Stretching, he stood cautiously to keep his wagging tail from smashing the tree. Nell really hated picking pieces of Christmas tree from his fur. Following her to the kitchen, he hurried when her steps approached the treat cupboard.
“You'd help me, wouldn't you bear?” Spotting her shadow, Nell smiled, tossing him a biscuit. “Honestly, those two are more and more difficult every year. I feel like I'm raising two children sometimes.”
Oh lovely, here she was, in the middle of the kitchen talking to the dog. Whatever, at least Kal would listen to her gripe. Pulling down a mug and two tumbler glasses, Nell set the kettle to boil and then picked up the bottle of Johnnie Walker that had appeared on the counter a few days ago. Likely a gift from someone.
One candy cane hot cocoa and two whiskey and rosemary sours, at the ready. In the other room, Nell could hear Ivan and Henry singing along to I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. Loudly Ivan belted out the line about the hippo being a vegetarian, Henry swaying back and forth as he laughed and unraveled the lights. To Nell's credit, when she had put away their Christmas decorations the previous year, she had done a much nicer job than Henry.
“Looking good, gentlemen.” Complimenting their work, Nell smiled handing Ivan the cocoa. “Yours is on the tray,” she kissed Henry's cheek. “I decided to make use of the Johnnie Walker.” She winked.
Taking his drink, Henry smiled. “It's your bottle,”
“Mine? Did you buy it?” Nell sat on the floor beside Ivan, working at picking out more decorations.
“No, it came the other day. Some guy dropped it off, did you not read the card?” Henry laughed, joining his family on the floor. Nell shook her head. “Hold on,” He stood back up, groaning a little.
“Mum,” Ivan spoke pulling out another bundle of lights, “when the tree is done, can I watch a movie?”
“You don't want to help dad finish with the computer?” Sorting the other items in the box, Nell sat back on her heels reaching for her drink.
“I guess, but I think I'd like to watch a movie with you. If you have time.”
“For you, wild boy, I have all the time in the world.” Nell leaned over giving him a kiss on the head. Wrinkling his nose, Ivan brushed his hand over his dark curls, resetting them the way he liked them. “Which movie did you want to watch?”
“I don't know, we can find one.” Ivan worked away at the strand of lights, getting them ready to go on the tree, when Henry came back in. His mother wasn't tall enough to read the top, which meant his dad would have to start the lights.
Decorating the tree with his parents, the three of them, felt a little odd. For as long as Ivan could remember there was always a huge production to decorating their tree. This year was quiet, like most things throughout the year. They would be video calling family over Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning, instead of having them there in person. They were supposed to spend Christmas with the Stewart family this year, as sad as Ivan was to miss his trip he understood.
“Here you are,” Henry waved the small card around, crossing the floor to hand it to Nell.
One the outside was a fancy script, containing her name in gold lettering. Opening the small card, the kind one gets with a delivery of flowers, she admired the generic looking winter scene.
“To Nelly & Superman, Merry Xmas. May 2021 be better than whatever dumpster fire this is,” she read out loud, chuckling at the sentiment. “Love always, JPS. It's from Jordan.”
“How lovely, didn't he send one last year as well?”
“He did, but he sent that really nice Riesling.” Nell confirmed. Since Jordan hadn't been able to make it for the wedding, he'd sent the gift instead. “Along with the Ardbeg, for our wedding present.”
Henry nodded, he remembered drinking both vividly. Although he didn't get much of the Ardbeg, because Nell had deemed it off limits to anybody who wasn't her. Past and present gifts sorted and settled, Henry stood up with the first string of lights in hand. “I think it's time we get these on, what about you?”
“About time.” Sticking out her tongue, Nell pulled out the tinsel and a box of ornaments. “Gosh, Cavill, you have been taking forever.”
“Can't rush perfection, my darling.” Henry smirked, attaching the first string of soft white lights to the stout tree in the corner.
“Is that why we took so long?” Ivan teased helping his mother carefully lift ornaments from boxes.
“Of course.” Henry nodded, excusing his procrastination.  “You know, I do love this tree.”
“It is a lovely tree. It's the perfect size.” Nell agreed with her husband. “I'm glad that we didn't go with a monstrous tree this year.”
Henry and Ivan had a habit of going for the biggest tree in the lot. This year, Nell had put her foot down, demanding that they pick something reasonable.
“I thought you liked a big, thick one.” Snorting, Henry paused to watch Nell's reaction.
“You, stop.” She wagged her finger at him. “Wild boy, can you go over to that blue storage bin and get the crystal star, please?”
The tree topper had been a gift from Henry's parents, the first year she and Henry had “unofficially” lived together. Nell had used it every year since, upon Henry's insistence that she kept it. Their first Christmas married, last year, his mother had wanted to gift them a new one. Politely Nell had declined, saying that she loved the one they had. Although, she was more than happy to accept the matching ornament set that went with it, as a late Wedding present.
“I love this star,” Taking the carefully wrapped box from Ivan; Nell placed it safely out of the way of Kal and Cavills.
“Lights are on.” Henry happily announced, clapping his hands together. “What's next?”
“Tinsel and bows.” Ivan sprung up with a card of tinsel, waving it wildly at his father. “Can I help?”
“What if I put on the tinsel, while you tie on the bows?”
“Deal.” Ivan nodded grabbing the gold and silver bows that Nell had made. They would soon be in need of some new bows. “Mum, momma, mum.” he bounced, “Want to help?”
“Sure, you take the gold and I will take the silver?” Standing to join Ivan and Henry at the tree. Nell took the card of silver bows, carefully tying them on to the boughs of the tree.
Over the next half hour or so, their tree began to come to life. The soft colours adorning the vibrant green really stood out in the otherwise neutral room. Laughing and teasing one another, Henry grabbed Ivan around the waist, spinning him – a safe distance from the tree – while Kal danced around them barking excitedly. Nell watched them with joyful delight, after the year they had endured it was nice to see her husband and son still keeping their happiness.

idislikecispeople, The Most Infamous Dyscourse Blogger: Part 1.0, Rumors
idislikecispeople, also known as many names throughout her time on Tumblr (such as Adele, Kat, Mami, Samantha and Sayaka), was a former Tumblr blogger who became infamous for coining the term "tucute", among many other controversial things she has posted on her blogs. This was supposed to be one, very long masterpost about her, but Tumblr's post editor is a bitch and won't let me do that.
In this post, I'll be debunking or confirming rumors commonly spread about idislikecispeople. The rest of my posts about her will each be dedicated to a specific controversial belief she held or situations she got into. For simplicity's sake, I'll be referring to idislikecispeople as Kat for the rest of this post and future ones.
Rumors
Kat Coined the Terms "Truscum" and "Tucute"
Verdict: Partially True
Kat coined the term tucute, but she did not coin the terms truscum or transmedicalist.
Here's a screenshot of Kat's original definition of a tucute:
Tumblr media
Transcript:
What is Tucute?
What does tucute mean?
Tucute is basically just the opposite of truscum, it’s a term and community for trans, nonbinary, and/or non-cis individuals created to separate anti-truscum from truscum and to serve as a safe place from truscum and from cis people, where they believe that being trans requires dysphoria, we do not,where they think that being trans is a medical condition, we do not,and where they deny numerous gender identities on the basis that it “discredits the trans community” we do not.
What are the prerequisites to be a part of the tucute community?
You have to be trans, nonbinary, and/or non-cis in general
You have to accept all pronouns and gender identities
You haveto believe that dysphoria is not necessary to be trans
You have to dislike truscum
You cannot side with truscum or believe in their ideology
You cannot misgender anyone no matter how mad they make you
You cannot be an ableist whatsoever
Did you invent the tucute community? Why?
I indeed did coin the tucute term and community and anyone who says otherwise are creeps who are trying to steal it from me and redefine it for their own nefarious doings. I started this community so anti-truscum could separate themselves from truscum and cis people who are a part of the truscum community, it serves as a safe space from both truscum and cis people.
I’m cis, can I be tucute if I believe in your movement and want to help?
No, you can’t be tucute if you’re cis, you can only be a tucute ally, and you need to be sure to never speak for or over a trans person.
I see a lot of tucuties being just as harmful as truscum, what will you do about it?
There isn’t much I can do to them other than ask them to stop aligning with the tucute community, and of course, that doesn’t mean they will. Also be noted that truscum and cis people will pretend to be tucute just to tarnish the name of the tucute community, so tread lightly, you might be talking to a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Spread the word, use the tag #tucute and join the army today!

Kat Was a Cisgender Woman Who Lied About Being a Transgender Woman
Verdict: False
This rumor primarily comes from a post on Kat's oldest known Tumblr blog, chromaghost, where she claims that she wasn't MTF and only tagged a selfie as such because she thought that transgender people were "cool".
Tumblr media
Transcript:
Anonymous asked: are you a mtf? i seen it tagged on one of your photos.
No lol. I wanted to post it to the tag because transgender people are cool :3
(source) (source) (source)
However, Kat addressed this post and made it clear she very much was a transgender woman multiple times on her later blogs. This claim can also be confirmed with nude photos Kat posted online, which I don't feel comfortable spreading, so you'll just have to trust me on that one. I also don't feel comfortable directly encouraging you to go and dig up those nudes, as most of her nude photos were either taken when she was a minor, spread without her consent and/or were uploaded because people pressured her into posting nudes to "prove" she was a transgender woman.

Transcript:
Anonymous asked: you bound with ace bandage in one of your selfies. i don't know what to think about you anymore. according to some people you're a 27 year old cis woman scamming us, but you say you're a 22 year old trans woman. i want to trust you but i don't know if i can. i'm sorry.
Rest assured I’m not 27 years old lol. What you’re referring to is a less than graceful ~art piece~ we did (”Playing a Boy” or something) on deviantART when we were 16/17 (?) and really ill-informed. I ask you to not take that as how I stand currently – as I have learned so much more since, and I have a penis and I was designated male at birth because of it (feel free to purchase a passcode to our nsfw blog to see for yourself). At the time we were developing breast tissue but still had to appear as a ‘boy.’ Don’t bind with Ace bandages, kids, it can damage your rib cage, something we didn’t know at the time.

Anonymous asked: In other words, you aren't gonna cough up the pics because you know you can't fake that shit because you're actually cis. Cool. BTW why do you keep changing your story about the blog, and if the blog was run by you when you were in denial about being trans because of self hate, why were the pics tagged mtf and you were constantly saying trans people were cool?
Yeah I’m not gonna do something for y’all and get nothing in return except more doubt from you, you see how one sided that kind of request is? Also its technically considered sexual harassment, just because its on the internet, you’re a coward (whats your username btw?), and you think I’m cis and you want me to prove time and time again to you that I’m dmab doesn’t justify sexually soliciting someone when they’re not comfortable in being solicited – for free no less.
At first I genuinely had no memory of that blog, it was only active for all of 2 months and for some reason I moved onto a new email and new tumblr, and I haven’t the foggiest why. As for the whole “me claiming to not be ~mtf~” I don’t have any memories from that time, I can only assume it was a lot of dysphoria fueled self-hatred and wanting to be seen/pass as a cis girl lesbian.
If you’re really gonna solicit nudes from a trans woman (a second time) as they do sex work to try and stay on their feet without offering anything in return just so your transmisogynistic ass can get off to trying to tell me my dick is fake isn’t classy at all. I perish the thought of what you’re parents would think of this behavior from you. But yeah, feel free to send some money to my paypal so I can get the gender markers on my records changed because that’s gonna cost a lot apparently, and I’ll definitely send you the dick pics you want. :)

Kat Lied About Having Diabetes To Get Money From Tumblr Users
Verdict: False
This doesn't need much commentary from me, just view the screenshots below.

Transcript:
To the people who keep harping on me buying a $15 video game for my mental health 7 MONTHS ago “with my donation money,” well, here you go, some proof, links and screenshots provided
So for everyone spreading misinformation about me spending $15 on a video game for my mental health, here’s a full list of reasons why there is no way, shape, or form I spent my paypal money on it:
Yes, I spent $15 of my own money after selling one of my possessions, not denying it:
[A screenshot of a Tumblr post by Kat where she shows off a copy of Fall Out: New Vegas, marked with a price of $14.99. The date of the post is marked as July 21, 2014 at 06:28.39 PM.]
Be sure to look at the date, July 21st, 2014 6:28 PM. Now lets look at my first donation post asking for help:
[A screenshot of a Tumblr post by Kat where she asks for donations to be able to afford insulin because she has no insurance. The date of the post is marked as July 20, 2014 at 08:14.00 PM.]
Hmm, one day before the purchase of said game, July 20th 2014 at 8:14 PM. Now, I’ve never heard of a video game store — much less a non-chain video game store accepting payment for video games in the form of virtual Amazon gift cards, have you? Oh, but you’re gonna say, “well you bought the game with your paypal donations anyway!” Well, here’s exhibit C:
[Another screenshot of a separate post made by Kat where she is also asking for donations to be able to afford insulin. The date of the post is marked as July 23, 2014 at 12:27.46 PM.]
Again, looking at the date of this posting which is the original donations post, you can see it was posted on July 23rd, 2014 at 12:27 PM, a full 2 days after I had bought the game. Now, if there’s no way for me to use Amazon gift cards for a real life video game store, then how can I go back in time a minimum of 2 full days to give past me $15 to buy said game, hm? This isn’t even accounting for the fact that I didn’t even have my own bank account associated with it until over a week later, and it surely doesn’t account for the fact that it takes up to 5 days to transfer from paypal to your bank account. All the dates are linked to the original unedited posts so you can see for yourself, and for added measure my first deposit was on August 14th, 2014:
[A screenshot of a deposit made by Kat. The date is marked as 08/14/14.]
Oh but yeah, anti-sjs, truscum, and the like took damniwishidthoughtofabettername’s postthey used to gaslight us with misinformation and you all bought it. Tell me how I could misuse donations that I could not use outside of Amazon and money I didn’t even start receiving until a full two days later, let alone the fact that there’s no way I could have transferred said money and used it two days prior as of the date of the paypal donations post.
I hope some of y’all could reblog this and get the word out, I’m sick and tired of people buying into that misinformation that person did solely to gaslight me as a means to try and disrupt my donations drive.

Anonymous asked: Getting desperate for money again I see. How is your fake diabetes lately. I bet your blood sugar is like 800 this time and you're still able to be alive somehow.
You got me, I’m ~totally faking~
[A selfie of Kat. In the background several items used by diabetics are seen such as insulin syringes, glucose tablets, a blood sugar tester and test strips.]
[A picture that gives us a closer look at the background of the previous selfie.]
[A selfie of Kat holding up two vials, one of Lantus and the other of Humalog.]
Gee, must be one dedicated faker, right? To have hundreds of dollars of insulin equipment and insulin itself. Hmmm… Insulin syringes, glucose tablets, a blood sugar tester and test strips.. oh and insulin, hmmmm….
Oh and because you didn’t learn from last time you don’t die instantly when your blood sugar goes over 600 lol, something anyone who studies endocrinology can tell you, and I would know, being a diabetic, having to be hospitalized numerous times for ketoacidosis where the blood sugar has been too high for too long. Things you clearly do not know and you’re just jumping on the disableist bandwagon. I have an idea of who you are anyway, just doing this for future reference.

I have bpd, I'm always ready to leave anyone and I don't get overly attached anymore. The reason being I watched my fp die and I have never been able to bring myself to attach deeply to another. My current partner has aspd, which overall works well for me due to their emotions being as dim as mine. I still have the usual swings in mood but I do veer more towards depression rather than mania, but when it comes to love that feeling is very dim. I treasure experiences more than the person I have them with now so I did ask we have an open relationship, since covid though that has been closed because I'm immunocompromised and refuse to suffer needlessly. They didn't want to partake in the open relationship aspect themselves until i had and only to keep things even, thats what they said. And thats probably why this does bug me a bit. I haven't used any part of the open relationship. I do sell photos and videos of myself for a hefty price, and usually they help me and are always fully aware of what I'm doing as well as what I say. They have recently started exploring more about themselves and their kinks, and joined a few different subreddits to explore with others online. They have told me about everything so far, but it also only took two days for them to start multiple convos and send photos of themselves to multiple people for free. I do my photos for work, they are doing it purely for pleasure. It doesn't hurt, but it does annoy me and puts me in the mindset of closing off and being ready to leave. It's annoying because it feels like they are going back on their word. Trust is important to us both, so is follow through with what we promise. I don't get to know or see everything like they do with me when it comes to those conversations and it annoys me that I have to ask. I also have a very low libido but they told me last night with all this exploring their libido (which was already higher than mine) has shot up a lot. I just feel like the end is coming and I'm to okay with it. Yes my life would become more annoying and difficult without them but I don't mind. And while yes I would miss them, out of sight out of mind especially if I distract myself. It doesn't help that I do feel trapped in general due to the city we live. I am financially secure and want to move but they want to wait until they finish up college before moving, while that time frame is allegedly approaching its always a dead subject that leaves me in anger. Once we move I plan on fixing whats making me immunocompromised but I NEED to move so I can have access to doctors that can fix me. That also is a dead subject, I just need to wait and be patient they say. They also said that in the beginning of us dating when we were talking about open dating during covid, that I should wait until it was safe. Overall I've just been on edge before this exploring they are doing and now that its begun I only feel more on edge. The feeling makes me trust them less and less. I don't mind having tail on the side as long as your honest but ffs two fucking days and you are already giving out the goods, allowing other people to say that they own them and just laughing about it. Thats just what I've been told, but its also bee made apparent that they are now doing things while I'm asleep, so who know how much I'm actually told about.
I'm also passed because they suggested that I shoot a video for a client on vday even though the request came 2 weeks before it, the issue that I have with it is after knowing what I'd be shooting for that particular video for 2 weeks they didn't attempt to help until the day of shooting on VDay and their idea of helping? Showing me videos of other hotter people doing what I was requested to do. On Valentines day. And I was just expected to watch and take pointers which really hurt. I had been practicing since I got the request, I had been looking up videos for the first week of practice let alone the client sent some references as well. I love watching videos for pointers, hell me and my partner have enjoyed porn together, watching others isn't the issue, the issue was that they suggested to film on vday, and then waited until vday to show me videos of others doing better. I still haven't finished editing that video because it just feels painful. Thats how I got to spend my vday, being compared to others.

Don't Rent Your BMW M4 or Car on Turo! via /r/cars
Don't Rent Your BMW M4 or Car on Turo!
Hi guys. Just wanted to share my experience using Turo and their claims department. I've been renting my BMW M4 on Turo for a few months and didn't have any major issues until one of the renters abused the living hell out of it. Sorry for the long story.
To keep it short, they drove it like they stole it. For $130. The clutch is damaged and the brakes/rotors need to be changed. The car had ~16,100 miles! I've never had to change the brakes and rotors of ANY of my cars at 16,000 miles. Never.
In addition to all of that, there is a burn mark on the passenger side floor mat AND the parking brake booth was removed from the housing! That thing doesn't come out of it's place on its own or very easily. You have to put a lot of pressure in order to remove it. They drove the car recklessly and didn't change the gears properly at all. On top of that, I have a dashcam in the car so it pretty much records everything.
After seeing the burn mark and the parking brake booth, I immediately opened a damage claim with Turo. I was driving the car while on the phone with the Turo customer service rep and I hear a loud squealing/grinding noise. This was before I watched the video. I notified her about the weird noise and headed home so I could watch the video and see what happened. After watching the video, I open another damage claim because they require you to report everything within 24 hours the trip ends.
Fast forward a couple of days and I get an email from the claims representative saying I need to take the car to a repair repair shop of my choice and get a diagnosis and get an estimate for the damages + the floor mat and parking brake booth. So I take it to the BMW dealer but for whatever reason they don't perform a diagnosis and just do a regular inspection (I'll explain later why this is a good thing). They end up changing the engine oil, spark plugs and air filter because of the smoke and also told me the car needs an alignment. I pay for the bill, get a quote for the floor mat and the parking brake booth and leave. I send the documents to Turo and wait. I get an email from the rep saying:
"Regarding the replacement of the spark plugs and engine oil, we would need documentation that this was related to the smoking and not just regular maintenance."
What? They need documentation that the replacement of the spark plugs and engine oil was related to the smoking??????? This makes absolutely no sense. I spoke with the BMW service center and they told me they usually replace the spark plugs on this car after 30,000+ miles. I contacted another BMW dealer and explained the situation. The service rep told me that if I take the car to the dealer for a diagnosis and if they find the car was abused in any way, shape or for, then I will be in a lot of trouble and my warranty would be voided. Therefore, I told the Turo rep I will no longer be taking the car to the dealer and will find a reputable mechanic.
In addition, the description of my listing clearly states:
“Please NO SMOKING, EATING, PETS, SPEEDING or RECKLESS DRIVING! (Can be easily checked) Absolutely NO SPEEDING or RECKLESS DRIVING! You will be held responsible for all damages caused by abuse/reckless driving. Please treat it as your own car and obey all the road laws. Please Note: Turo policy states that ONLY the registered primary driver may drive this car.“
So,
They smoked in the car
They were speeding (100+mph)
They drove recklessly
They abused the shit out of the car
The registered primary driver was NOT the only one who drove the car
I have it all on video
I sent all of this to the claims rep + compiled a 30 minute video of how the car was being driven and sent that too.
After taking the car to multiple mechanics, I find someone who can perform the diagnosis of my car. I paid $200 for the diagnosis and got the estimate. I emailed the estimate to Turo and waited.
I get an email from the rep saying they can't accept the estimate because the mechanic isn't ASE Certified.
He told me to take the car to a repair shop of MY choice and now he's saying they can't accept the estimate since the mechanic isn't ASE certified? Why didn't you tell me to take the car to a ASE certified mechanic earlier so I wouldn't waste so much time?
After that I end up taking the car to 15+ mechanics but they either couldn't work on my car because they weren't specialized or they specifically worked on BMW's and M cars but weren't ASE certified. So I'm literally stuck in between a rock and a hard place.
Fast forward a couple of more days and I finally find a ASE certified mechanic who could work on my car. I take the car in for a diagnosis and get the estimate.
I sent the estimate to Turo and waited, again.
The Turo rep contacted the mechanic, who verified everything. Then the rep told me that he needs to submit the it for supervisor review due to the high amount. Once the review is complete he will notify me of their final coverage decision.
Ok cool I guess I can finally fix my car.
Nope.
I get an email saying:
"I apologize for the delays while the claim was reviewed by my supervisors. Before they can authorize payment they have instructed the following:
We will need photos of the clutch parts once a teardown is complete. You would have to authorize the tear down and the shop will need to take photos of the damage for our review. If they are consistent with the initial inspection we can review to cover the percentage as based on our clutch policy.
At this time the brakes may not qualify for coverage. They are considering them wear items at this time.
blah blah blah
Covered Peril: A covered collision or comprehensive event that takes place during the rental period, excluding:
deterioration
Deterioration: any fading, discoloration, rust, or wear caused to the interior or exterior of the vehicle over time. Also includes any deterioration from road use of tires, and mechanical deterioration of belts, suspension, electrical and mechanical components, along with any resulting damage from these events."
So they want me to authorize the mechanic to tear down the clutch so I can send them pictures of the damaged parts. The teardown is going to cost me $1,400! And they aren't even going to pay for it! On top of that, the brakes aren't covered and it's because of deterioration? The car was clearly abused and I have video evidence. It was driven like it was on a race track. Obviously the brakes are going to wear out prematurely. A set of brakes lasts a couple of laps on a race track...
So all this trouble for $130?? They expect met to fix the clutch and replace the damaged brakes and rotors for $130??? I've already spent $1000+ for everything and will not be spending another penny. It has been a month and this has still not been resolved so I emailed the rep yesterday and asked for their legal departments information and the names of the supervisors. I have all the evidence I need and will provide it to the police as well if needed.
Do yourself a favor and don't list your car on Turo. You never know who will be driving your car and how they will be driving it. And I guess dashcam video of the entire trip isn't considered as evidence for them.
