What are your favorite and least favorite animes? Why do you like/dislike them?

oh god here we go lmao 🤠👍 prepare for an entire novel as always lol

my favorite animes atm are Naruto, Dragon Ball, Attack on Titan, and Claymore. Overall, my favorite genre of anime is shonen (and in case you dont know what that is, its basically shows that are marketed to young boys. it'll have shit like superpowers and poorly written female characters). My least favorite genre is Shoujo (marketed at young girls). I honestly don't hate the entire genre, I just hate how much romance is in there since im pretty romance-repulsed. If there were more Shoujo series like Claymore, I'd probably be in love w/ it. I'll start talking about these shows individually, starting w/ Naruto.

1. Naruto.

Honestly, the only reason I started watching Naruto was because my friends peer pressured me into doing it, and it actually differed from what I expected it to be story-wise. The beginning of the show started off amazing; it had excellent world building, magic systems, interesting characters, and it attempted to address how messed up the whole shinobi system is. But then Naruto got on the front page of Shonen Jump, and everything went down from there. It started to focus more on cool fight scenes than the actual plot. I wont get too much into that, because you can literally find entire blogs dedicated to dissecting that, but Naruto killed itself w/ its own popularity. That said, I love the characters and world building and I can look past most of its flaws anyway.

Would I recommend reading/watching it? Yes, but only to say you did it for bragging rights. Don't go into watching Naruto if you want deep looks into imperialism and militarized governments, because you will get the complete opposite of that :P Also the best way to watch it is to watch it with friends.

2. Dragon Ball.

I only started watching DB about a month ago, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I think its a garbage series. The fight scenes have little to no weight to them, because no matter what, the protagonist of that episode will always succeed in some way. For example, when Goku (a 12 y/o boy) was fighting Giran (a 10ft tall godzilla man) and was getting his ass beat until Goku just... randomly grows back his tail that was cut off earlier and wins. We are never told why he grew back his tail, and i think he only gets it back so he can have a cool fight scene in a later episode. Goku can literally be battling genocidal gods and he will still always win. The show also goes out of its way to sexualize/show a female character being harrassed. Every. Fucking. Episode.

That said, it is a fun show, and I really enjoy watching it. Like Naruto, I really love the characters and the world they are in, I just hate the way it was handled, and its painfully obvious that DB was made by a bunch of old men in the 80s. Unlike Naruto, however, I really appreciate how simple it is. It doesn't force a narrative about space genocide or whatever being bad, and I'm very thankful because that kind of narrative would be absolutely botched in this kind of series. It's also nice to have a show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Shows like AOT are amazing and important, but those shows can be overwhelming with their heavy subject matter. I would only recommend watching DB if you want to see some really good art/character design. Don't take the show seriously, and you'll have a good time.

3.Attack On Titan.

This anime was actually the first I've ever seen! I saw the very first episode when it aired in 2014, so I'm definetely biased in that regard, but I still try to look at this show in the most objective way I can. This show does almost everything right. The pacing, the characters, the art, the plot, you name it. It takes a concept that looks silly on paper and turns it into this grueling story about war, politics, and the trauma of being a soldier. It never treats it's characters like they're only one-dimensional, or like they are there just for one purpose only. These characters feel human in a way Naruto and Dragon Ball could never be. But there is one thing that has me concerned about this show, and its about the weirdly anti-Semitic undertones it has.

You probably heard the controversy already, but it really effected the way people on the outside of the fandom view the series. The show is heavily inspired by European culture, specifically that of Germany, and there are an ethnic group of people called The Eldians in the show that are pretty anti-Semitic in this kind of setting. The Eldian people have the capability of turning into Titans, and the Titans are what divided the world and killed millions. As a result, another group of people started doing the shit the Nazis did to Jewish people, basically making the Eldians into this weird allegory for the holocaust??? Which was kind of a shock to me when I first realized that was the angle they were going for. I genuinely did not expect that considering what the series started off as. The foreshadowing is there and all, I just didn't think they'd use real-world events as inspiration.

Now, this actually has the complete opposite problem Naruto and DB had. Naruto and DB had amazing ideas and concepts that went to shit, AOT's whole holocaust narrative was trash from the beginning.

The show could have easily had a different kind of social/political commentary without even going near the holocaust narrative. It comes off as kind of a half assed idea that people put way too much effort in, so it's kind of in this weird grey-area between "modern anime masterpiece" and "what the fuck were they trying to get across with this show?". If you asked me what the moral of the show was, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

Now, because of the fact that the Eldians can literally turn into man-eating beasts, this makes the comparison of Jewish people and Eldians very racist, and it doesn't help that Japan is still full of legitimate Nazis, making the whole situation look even worse. Since I am not Jewish, I wont speak for other Jewish people. There is a very heated debate on whether the show is racist, and frankly I don't think it's within my right to say if it is or isn't. What I will say, is that I really loved the show and appreciated the social commentary it provided, and I think a lot of people would benefit from watching it, but I think it's also important to listen to Jewish people's views on the show. For this reason, I specifically avoid reblogging AOT stuff, but I do love that show and I wont hate on people who do reblog stuff from it. It's definitely not a light watch, but it does provide a lot of thinking material.

4. Claymore.

This. Show. Was. Amazing. But. Underrated.

First off, this is a shonen show that is led by a majority female cast and a female protagonist, and all of those women are badass swordwielding lesbians and I love it. Second, the art style is beautiful. Third, the story is really interesting from so many angles, so much so I am not even going to mention what its about because you dont need to know, you just need to watch it and see what happens. The first season was an absoloute ride of a show, and if you love shows like AOT or Berserk, you'll love Claymore. Honestly, this show was what AOT should have tried to be. It also has its fair share of militarized imperialist commentary, but this is the only show on this list that actually fucking critiques imperialist ideals and has a main character that actively refuses to participate in that kind of oppressive system, choosing to fight it all together.

But the show got fucking cancelled right before the first arc even finished. You can thank shows like Naruto for that 🙃🙃🙃

10/10 Would reccomend, but just be prepared to be left on a major cliffhanger. You can try reading the manga, but it's kind of hard to follow since all of the warrior girls look the same.

#i spent too much time writing this #oh well #im not gonna tag the shows i talked about in this bcuz if i do ill get discourse blogs to start shitting on me #so im just gonna avoid it all together lol #also didnt write abt my least faves because this was too long to write as is #anyway as promised we can now get married any time you want @kindasortasalty /j /p #👩‍🦲

Hi Aamna,

Thank you, hon 💛💛💛 that’s very sweet of you and it’s nice knowing that I can say whatever I am thinking here. Even thought you have given me persmission to do so, sadly is hard to do so as I still keep checking my words but mostly I do let my mind run and let my fingers just type whatever it is I am thinking. I swear half the time I feel I come out sounding like someone who just smoke a blunt which I can assure you I didn’t today lol. But see what I mean witch just writing whatever I am thinking.

Do you remember that at the beginning I mention that I wanted to follow you to reblog many of your posts but I couldn’t do it because then you would know who I was, however, lately some of the blogs I follow have thankfully reblog your stuff and guess who has been able to reblog your stuff without giving herself away *points to self* this girl right here lol...well damn I just realize I just gave myself away with that and now you will be paying attention to see who reblogs next 😂 damn now I will have to wait when everything ends. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yeah that’s something maybe I won’t understand fully about Yu Ziyuan character as she is from a different culture and race, and sadly we all go through different things when it comes to things like this because of culture and race.

Yu Ziyuan can respectuflly step on me okay I understand this because I have to accept that she was one strong independent woman and not only that she was beautiful to boot. She did love JFM she just didin’t like him makes perfect sense, I don’t think there was never a doubt that she loved him but I think the reason that she never liked him was because he never tried to actually fight for them and lets face it he just smile and never tried anything to fix things either. There more I think about it her life was a sad one and it makes you understand her anger even more.

It’s funny that you mention Wen Qing beacause her death didn’t made sense at all, I mean I understand MXTX needed to create that conflict but couldn’t they use someone else lol. I mean the lady killed so many to create that conflict and tension but damn she went into a killing spree with her characters specially the women. Lol Talking about Wen Qing and how she could have survive I think I read a fic about how Baoshan Sanren did help Wen Qing to live but I think in that story it was more her spirit that kept on living so she was this type of ghost that you could see only thanks to BS. Talking about Boashan Sanren I never understood why she didn’t help the student that died, I know she pretty much told them you leave don’t come back but come on she was this magical being that could do so much she could have help them.

As for who I would choose, I would also chose Jiang Yanli (I mean why kill her, the siblings were already suffering as it was) I personally think she would have been a very strong -no one messes with me- type of sect leader until her son came of age and took over. Specially with everyone knowing that she had the protection of not only Jiang Cheng the sec leader of the Yunmeng but also of Wei Wuxian the Yiling Patriach no one would dare to defy her.

Now my next question: What are your thoughts about the Yi City arc and it’s characters?

Your C.C Blue 🌸

Hii Blue! It's no worry, things take time afterall 💛

Fjfjf no no I think you're safe I'm incredibly oblivious fjfjfj and currently another anon told me to guess their username and I'm so bad at it lol.

Yep you're right, its tru JFM loved her but sometimes that's just not enough and you read to stand and fight for it. I kinda really hate him sometimes (also fjfj idk why but while writing this I had a feeling of deja vu ajfjit :0) aaaanyway since the story was from wwx's pov I think we might not even know the whole thing between them cause tbh as an asian I can say that asian parents just arent into pda.. at all fkfkf they dont even hold hands lol

Omg! Can you please tell me the name of that fic? I'm desperate for some wen qing content to read.

Went into a killing spree with her characters

That seems about right and I think that's the only thing that im bothered about sm. Like understand the story's is about wangxian but she fleshed out them all so perfectly! It's a tragedy they were killed off :( but that's why we have fanfics tho 😂😂

Hmm I dont know enough about that but I think I read it somewhere (or maybe it was fic and I'm mixing stuff again fjfjfk) that immortals dont meddle with the earthly/worldly issues so ig that's the reason but it would've been so cool if she came and saw her grand disciple inventing a new method of cultivation lol

Ah ah ah yanli :( I think the only person who loves wei wuxian as much as lan zhan is jiang yanli. She died still believing in him and it's so so sad that she never got to see wei wuxian happy, having a son and a husband, didnt get to see her own son grow up. Oomph the thought of Sect Leader Yanli is just 🥵 what I loved about the scene where jin zixun is being a stuck up nuisance is JYL respectfully roasting the shit out of him fjfjf like she is a cinnamon roll but she is more than capable of ending you right there with just her words. I love it!

Ahh as for your question, I adore the yi city arc it's literally like lets step away from the main story for 5 min to check out these other cultivator husbands but at the same time (in cql) the parallels between songxiao and wangxian is amazing! I love the longing lwj saw in them when he meets them the first time compared to the sadness when he finds out about their fate.

Xue Yang is without a doubt my favourite villain. He's just shameless, he's straightforward and he doesnt beat around the bush. Literally like yes I'm a psycho what about it? I can and I will murder you all :D I sympathise with him too in some areas like how his upbringing or the lack of and the way the society treated him affected him. Like mxtx focuses on the three XY, JGY and WWX and how the three orphans were affected by society but each of them handled things differently.

Xue Yang and Jiggy both value themselves over everyone while WWX thinks I owe everyone everything and kills himself dead over it. Xue Yang is open about and and Jiggy is discreet. It's such a brilliant thing! I love it way too much.

With xuexio I think xue yang himself didnt know how to handle when something good, when kindness is actually giving to hil freely and thats why in a way he tricks xiao xingchen.

Coming to SongXiao 😔😫 a tragedy. They could've been crime fighting rogue cultivator husbands :(( it's heartbreaking how they parted the way they did and when the finally met it they couldnt even clear the air. It's just one tragedy after the other with them.

What about you?

#BLM POST, IF YOU DONT AGREE READ ANYWAY. THANK YOU.

I do not regularly address my followers directly, post often or get much response.

That's fine. I dont stress with that much. This is a blog for my personal expression.

What I am currently stressing is what is happening within our world. I feel the need to address this. I feel the need to express this.

Some of us as a human race have failed our fellow human. This is not okay. This is not a drill .

I will not address one name. I will acknowledge every single individual and their families. The people who love them and the people that they were.

NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOUR DEATHS HAS BEEN JUSTIFIED AND I CAN ONLY HOPE WITH EVERYTHING YOU CAN ALL REST PEACEFULLY.

"They" are not just black people. We are all human and we ALL deserve the respect as such.

Different skin colors, different genders, immigrants, women, LGBTQA.

Everyone who is human. Aka all of us. (But right now, our fellow human with more beautiful melanin then us need all our voices)

I could get in to this and go on all day, and if you want me to be completely honest, no I don't think the riots and the destruction are okay.

Unfortunately and understandable so somewhat, these un-peaceful protests are what is gaining the attention by the media. They are the main thing putting the #BLACKLIVESMATTER movement on our TV and phone screens.

This is also NOT OKAY and NOT RIGHT. Not when there are SO MANY beautiful, peaceful and moving protests taking place.

The peaceful protests are where this movement started currently, this is where our attention should be. This is where the news cameras should be pointed.

THE NEWS IS WHERE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RAISING THE NEXT GENERATION, THE OLDER PEOPLE WHO GREW UP NOT BEING TAUGHT ANY DIFFERENT, THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE WATCHING.

EDUCATION IS KEY TO FINDING SUCCESS IN CHANGE. EDUCATE THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW NO BETTER.

Start the conversations that are awkward and uncomfortable for some. One day they shouldn't be.

Tragic things have happened and we as the people have come together to correct the wrong. Together.

- VOTE VOTE VOTE -

Get the people in office who are allowing these things to slide under the rug OUT. We are the only people who can change our government leaders and the first step to doing that is stepping up to the vote in your area. Find the dates for your state. (Or if youre not in the USA, im not sure how other place work totally BUT GET YOU COUNTRY LEADERS ATTENTION)

-CONTINUE PEACEFUL PROTEST-

STOP storming the streets of your fellow neighbor trying to do good with you.

STOP destroying small businesses that KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES RUNNING!!!! These people are the heart of our cities and towns, they have a large sway with their following. If they don't agree with your values, don't shop there or find a way to help educate.

Bring this to our CAPITOLS our MAYORS OFFICES our LOCAL COURT HOUSES. These are the people who can do something.

BE SAFE WHILE PROTESTING!!!

Wear protective clothing, nothing loose that can be grabbed, no contacts for multiple reasons!!! Lots of water for drinking, staying cool as weather is getting warmer and good face rinse. Comfy sneakers, FACE MASKS!!! (We're still in a pandemic too)

If youre in an area where protests are becoming riots, cardboard under clothes helps take the blow of people and rubber bullets, goggles for tear gas and contacts hold on to the chemicals in them.

I can only hope and pray and plead this safety information will be useless to all of you.

ALSO do your research on this. As someone who has never been to a protest personally, find all the ways you can to stay safe, these are just some of the things I've seen.

-DONATE-

If you can of course, you can type just about anything to do with donating to the Black Loves Matter movement and good resources will pop up for you.

-RECORD RECORD RECORD-

This is a good way to have proof of things and to keep yourself safe. Be mindful when recording as to not get anything identifiable of yourself or anyone and if you can post under an anonymous name so it cant be tracked back.

To be honest as someone who is not near protests, has no cable or internet besides a cell phone, I have no clue what's going on out there to some extant and in research recording protests IS controversial. BUT I can follow the news all i want but I have no clue what to believe there so i find a lot of videos from the actual people on the front lines of this. I find these are more informative, unfiltered and true in showing the sides and stories of the people (protesters and uniformed) who are right on the front lines of this.

Sadly the news has a way of showing you what they want. I want truth. The good, bad and ugly. The things that need to be in history books.

I have witnessed that bad bunch of people in the protest start rioting.

I have seen police initiate the rioting.

I have seen police get pulled of their patrol cars and half beaten to death.

I have seen police charge on 100% peaceful protests.

As someone who is not sure how to speak out or be the right voice (as well as someone who has had officers within immediate family, as someone who has a friend who's like family in jail who wouldn't be there if he was white) this has been difficult to navigate and advocate.

My difficulties are different than half of our population. I am a young white women. I am learning my privilege and how to use it to help others.

I stand with my fellow man and i stand with the officers that want things to be better. The officers that get in the way of injustice and the peaceful protesters who wont stop being peaceful until we get our way.

Thank you to both groups of you. We see you, your movement is beautiful and you are beautiful.

And to the officers who believe in this violence, go find a job where someone else can put their knee to your neck until you cant breath to see how you like it. Go stand in the corner, damn you, get a new job cause youre shit.

And to the officers who are standing and kneeling with us with no photo-op, we appreciate you. Thank you, its a new found respect both ways.

To the people rioting, get out. Youre not at all here for the right reasons, youre making the peaceful protests look bad. Really not the point here.

To the peaceful protesters, thank you. Youre beautiful and youre doing a great job. Keep it up. We're closer then we've ever been before even if it is only a couple steps at a time.

If I have anything wrong or that needs to be added, or that I need to be educated on tell me. Inform me. Us who aren't totally sure how to help, help us make your voice louder.

We are the change we wish to see and i would love to see it before this whole world just goes to shit. Thank you.

I was tagged by @writing-with-melon I hope my answers aren’t complete waste or if time and if so I’m sorry and I love you

Rules: Answer ten 10 questions, ask 10, and tag 10 people

1. What song automatically plays in your head when you look out the window on a long drive?

i dont really have an answer for this. i think i just automatically think about any song ive been listening to recently or any song that has been stuck in my head.

2. Do you have some snacks nearby when you write?

well i live in a two story house so the kitchen is downstairs and im usually lazy busy so since i have a mini fridge upstairs i just usually get water to drink while im writing. its kinda hard to eat and write cuz i loose focus really easily so when i am writing i am writing! i am in the zone! but if i am a little hungry ill usually snack on candy like chocolate kinder joys i love them but they r so expensive or snack on chips but i get like salt on my fingers or i like cheetos so cheetos dust and that just gets everywhere and later my hands and keyboard kinda smell like fart. 3. What do you do to combat creative burnout?

so burnout happens to me a lot so to get inspiration i either read other stories or fanfics which gets my head gears turning or i admire a piece of art or photography or a song. whats so unique and satisfying with writing you can explore and go anywhere with it, hehehe erotic if you know what i mean lol jk there are no barriers with writing just your imagination. there is inspiration any where you go and id advise to never stop writing. even if its a few short sentences or paragraphs about anything even bird poop its still progression and your mind is working and your searching for words like its all good for you bby. 4. Do you use (or like to use) prompts?

i do ill put the link here. im thinking of changing it though to do something different.

5. What is your favorite place to write?

lol boring, i know but my room. my room is really bright in the mornings and comfortable and chill and i have a candle of the pandora ride in disney that smells like the ride so its all good and relaxing and super peaceful plus i have a picture of myself the age of like 9 on my desk idk why but it encourages me and makes me focus to make sure i never get that cringy again.

6. What is a hobby or yous that you usually don’t talk about?

well i like working out HAHAHAHAHA jk that was a joke...get it...cuz i much rather be eatingokillstop. but i really like to draw which i have a art page you can see it if you click here pls look at my failed attempts to be hip and cool with the cool kids and being artsy fartsy. another hobby is i really like to do makeup and nail art, nail art is really tough guys no joke if you do it like you got wizard powers are something. maybe its bc my nails are shorter than pete davidson and ariana grande’s relationship, alright im trying to stop i swear!

7. Do you play an instrument? Which one?

no i wish though. i always wanted to learn to either play the piano or electric guitar cuz H.E.R looks so cool doing it.

8. How do you feel about your handwriting?

it sucks dont even try me. my sister can barely read it like no wonder nobody wants to steal my signature heck they can’t even read it!

9. Can you tell us of a story that marked your development as a person? As a writer?

ok sit back guys, sniff a nice amount of crack and get ready for the most cringy moment of my life but also a time when i knew i was meant to be *inhale* a fanfic writer.

so it was elementary school, i think 3rd grade and for my writing assignment we were given a prompt of idk what the heck tbh i think it was like be outside the box and im like ok imma nail this cuz im a weird child and yeah so i got my papers and pencil and i went TO TOWN on this paper. so i wrote two stories. one short story with a picture to go with it and one long story that yeah i buried years ago. so my first story was about a farmer was about that farming life. he had chickens and dairy. so i cant remember if the cheese was spoiled but doesnt matter. anywho these cheese and a chicken were alive like they could talk in the story and i gave them faces, yikes. but the whole story was the farmer was a b*tch and he was trying to eat the chicken and cheese so they hatched a plan to get away from the farmer. they did it successfully and they ran away. yay happy ending my teacher actually liked that one me too and my school mates were thinking what they heck is this girl on i made a story about how me and justin bieber made cookies for Christmas you know. so then my other story i was more proud of this one cuz it was a tone of paper, sorry trees, and this story was about how a female hippo (girl i was all about plus size and thicker girls and no body shaming) and an male ostrich were kidnapped from their own habitats and taken to become circus animals. failed version of Madagascar hey mine was before the circus movie OK THEY STOLE IT FROM MEEEEE. so they get taken and are treated to harsh punishment and the animals can talk and i think its in the point of view of the male ostrich guy thing. they are in the circus and they start to have this relationship happening. love starts blossoming its all good. im happy with this cuz i believed in love at age of 8. they find a way thru a kick butt scene of the animals escaping and the hippo and ostrich are so in love that they run away together and they have half hippo half ostrich babies and i think i named the species hipstrich or like ostppo idk but i was so proud of this story and when my teacher read it she was worried about me lol i think she thought i might like mate these two animals like secretly idk but she was like it was ok and i was like what this is frickin William Shakespeare writing or like F. Scott Fitzgerald writing. nevertheless it taught me a lesson that nobody else needs to like what im writing the main point and only thing that matters is if your proud of it and you like it and i really did. i will remember that story forever and thats what made me want to be a writer. lol sorry that was a lot.

10. @emdop I’m going to use this great question: Explain one of your WIPs in the most ridiculous way possible.

wellllll im working on my peaky blinders oc story its a lot of drugs money killing weapons jewelry rich profanities like its the show but written from my stubby hands so my oc and whatever its great and so excited to show it to you guys.

i was tagged by @writing-with-melon again ty btw, ps i felt so much pressure lol jk 😊

Rules: Answer 5 questions, Ask 5 questions, Tag 5 people.

1. What is your favorite book?

fifty shades of grey hahaha naw my favorite book is obv you all know this is series of unfortunate events but i never usually cry period and i never cry for books ever so when i read mrs. tom thumb by melanie benjamin, its the part when her sister minnie dies i cried so hard idk it was just emotional the wording the way she described her pain it was so beautiful written yet so sad and that was just amazing to me cuz im like this book made me feel things and im like wow i would love to write a book one day and make someone feel something whether it be sadness anger happiness annoyance anything they are having an emotion and that is super powerful to do that with just words. pls go check out that book its a good read. also im a fan of the greatest showman so i really enjoyed it. there are many other books tho that i thoroughly enjoy so much.

2. What piece that you’ve written are you most proud of?

oh my god ive always wanted to be asked this question hands down i am always proud of my platonic gender neutral tony stark fic called in·con·sol·a·ble window to me i wrote it so sad and i was feeling like depressed lol when i saw peter die in infinity war like i didnt know what to do with my life tbh but im so glad that @impetrichorny requested it tysm i just like how its not based on romance or fluff or happiness it is based on when you lose someone the nightmares and sadness you go through and that there is nothing nobody can do about it except just be there for that person so i really like writing angst and something that was out of the box. ive been thinking tho of doing a part two since the fate of all the characters has changed after endgame. who knows tho.

3. What is the last song that inspired you?

well for art it would have to good news by mac miller when i did that kobe bryant memorial on my art page. i dont want to give it away though but ill just say some very powerful womens music inspired my oc writing and making.

4. How do you feel about letting people read what you write?

at first i was scared cuz i thought i wrote like trash which that feeling kinda doesnt go away like some days i feel that way others i feel confident or it depends on the request it just depends but anyways i was always insecure about my writing so when i started writing it was more like lets see how this goes if not ill delete the whole page. im glad to say it went great but in the begging it was hard cuz i kept putting myself down but i learned to accept or just understand that you keep learning with writing you always learn knew things with writing how you can explain something better or you words get more intricate and people see the improvement and you do too thats why i applaud those who dont speak english that english isnt their first language. you are doing a tremendous job and keep practicing cuz you’re gonna make it to the top. ive also learned that some days are not my days and you can take time off when youre not feeling it when you have writers block. just recollect your juices sip some tea go to the beach relax your mind a little and take as long as you need to come back and give it your all. also comments and reblogs and likes a follows those meant so much to me and encouraged me. thats why i cant express it enough how much all those mean to writers, artist, photographers, anybody who is truly trying their hard in this area of social media. its makes a person happy smile and confident in their writing but first train your mind into loving what you make not what others thing. you have to be happy with the outcome that is what truly matters and what makes your writing the best. look at me getting philosophical.

5. Do you get distracted easily? If yes with what?

yes and with porn haha i get distracted easily like very easily homeschooling was really tough for me. music distracts me, netflix, the urge to watch david dobrik or unus annus or buzzfeed unsolved on youtube, heck my farts distract me. i gotta be like troy bolton i gotta get my HEAD IN THE GAME!

MY QUESTIONS:

1. IF YOU COULD BE NAMED SOMETHING ELSE, WHAT WOULD YOU BE NAMED?

2. WHAT PERSON INSPIRES YOU THE MOST?

3. IF YOU KNEW THE WORLD WAS ENDING TOMORROW WHAT WOULD YOU DO TODAY?

4. WHAT DO YOU OFTEN THINK ABOUT IN THE SHOWER?

Pls help. Im a girl. Ive always considered myself to be straight because I have no romantic attraction to women but women sexually arouse me. I've seen this be described as internalized biphobia but I'm just not romantically attracted to women. Ive never even questioned my sexuality until I saw blogs like yours talk about this. I'm scared to admit this to anyone else bc I truly dont feel like I belong in the gay community. Can you help me understand how this is internalized biphobia

(Omg I don’t know how long’s this been in my inbox but I want to apologize for taking so long to answer your ask I’ve been very busy lately so this is my first time in a long time checking my ask box anyway on to your question)

Everything u stated in your ask was something every bi girl has went through including myself. When I was 13-15 and I first started to realize I liked girls I was in the same boat u were in I thought to myself that I could have sex with a girl but not pursue romantic relationships with them because I kept holding on the idea that if I could just date and be with men everything would be okay, I thought I could still wear the straight label if I never fell in love with a girl. But what I experienced and what your experiencing is called comp het and what that means is that socially we as women r taught to prioritize men in our lives and that we can only be happy and fully realized human beings if we r in relationships with men.

I had to break out of that mindset and it was hard but it was necessary. When I thought about only dating men or having sexual relationships with men my whole life and never telling anybody about my feelings of attraction towards women it made me unhappy well to be completely honest it made me depressed. The thought of cutting a part of myself out to fit into society that taught me men were the end all and be all made me feel wrong so I decided to work against this conditioning. I read wlw books, I followed wlw blogs, and the best thing I could say I did was watching wlw movies which showed me that yes wlw can have beautiful fulfilling relationships (also I have a super active imagination and I started imagining scenarios of myself being married to a women and doing cozy things like cooking together or going to dinner together). However I could say following bisexual women and listening to them talk about their love for women/their love for their women partners finally crumbled that final door that kept me from my bisexuality.

Now anon I ain’t gonna lie to u I still deal with a lot of internalized biphobia today but I don’t let it control nor define me. I know that I love men and women and if ever presented with the opportunity to pursue a loving relationship with a women I will do it. It’s hard journey but I’m telling u anon fully embracing that fact that u love women and want to be in a relationship is a beautiful experience. I implore u to keep following my blog and search out for other bisexual women bloggers (however be careful some bi women could be febfems (literally bi terfs) so always check a blog very carefully for terf ideology/language).

(Terfs and febfems don’t touch this post I hate y’all and I hope u take a flying leap of a cliff)

so i have a decent amount of new followers

and I thought I’d make a little post about myself, idk. I dont put so much about me on this blog, and for the eight years I’ve had it, its gone through four name changes, and a lot of different content.

But anyways, hey! I’m Haley, I’m 22, i’m queer, and I have waaaaay too many interests for my own good!

Right now, I like to post about: black lives matter, american politics, dogs, tattoos, stephen king books (mostly The Stand), polytheism/witchcraft, and the rest is sort of assorted fandoms , memes + whatever hyperfixation of the week it is.

Academics/research:

I just graduated with my Bachelor’s of Science, double majoring in Biology (concentration in Ecology/ Wildlife Conservation) and Classical Civilization. I was part of a research team in the field of behavioral neuroscience, where we studied the effects of isolation on short term memory and growth in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. In Classics, my senior thesis was on the evolution of Hermes in art and literature.

I am currently in the process of getting a job in a lab, and I’d like to go back to school to get my PhD once I have some real-world/professional experience!

Dogs:

I am incredibly interested in the dog world at the moment. I’ve worked with dogs since I was ten, volunteering with a dog rescue with my mom. While it was a little bit of a trial by fire, I learned a lot about dog behavior. And while it probably wasn’t a great idea, I was also given experience working with wolf hybrids, as our rescue was sort of a middle-man between kill-shelters and proper wolf sanctuaries. I’ve worked at a vet office for the past five years, and during that time, I’ve become more and more intrigued by working dogs, and especially primitive and landrace breeds such as malamutes, akitas, and kangals.

I’ve put down a deposit for a puppy with a semi-local malamute breeder whose dogs are AKC champions as well as working dogs, and should be getting my puppy sometime next year. This breeder limits their litters to once or twice a year. I’m very interested in backpacking since I do a fair bit of hiking myself, and would eventually like to get into sledding and maybe even skijoring.

Polytheism/witchcraft:

I am a polytheist, and I have a small altar to Apollo and Hermes, who are both wonderful. I am still learning a LOT about paganism, polytheism, and witchcraft, but I read tarot cards and runes and meditation is a big part of my day, whether that be sitting still or going on a short walk through the woods to be present within myself!

My icon/avatar is the sigil of Paimon. I identify strongly with deities originating in the Mediterranean, as that is where most of my family is from (not that you have to be from a geographic location to pay tribute to those gods). Also, Paimon is cool as hell (pun intended) and a delight to work with (btw Hereditary was good and i’m not going to explain myself).

Tattoos:

I love tattoos! I think tattooing is an incredible art form! I have three tattoos right now, and I have to start on my first sleeve if anything can ever get back to normal! I have two tattoos of wolves (shouldblade and ribcage) and then a fun little lizard tattoo on my ankle.

I also think the tattooing industry is whack and the gatekeeping of poc, women, and young artists in general is gross. It’s a beautiful art for, and its for anyone who wants to get into it. Also, if an artist tells you they can’t tattoo you bc your skin is too dark, they’re a coward and also probably not very good anyways.

TL;DR

I’m haley and if you’re into dogs, tattooing, witchcraft, stephen king novels, or general bullshittery, please come talk to me!!!!

I love your blog!! I’ve been following it forever it feels like and its such a nice place to go to when I’m feeling overwhelmed by hatred from ace discourse/people being mean to sapphics. I just wanna ask, how do you cope with being demi and bi? And if you know of how to deal with being ace/sapphic in any other ways that’d be helpful too bc I’m ace and sapphic but it’s so hard to feel like I’m *really* into girls bc I feel like a phony bc I don’t want sex?? Like I love women but don’t want sex

I'm sorry my dumb inbox never shows me asks! I'm so glad my blog is a safe place for you, that's what I created it for. 💜

I'm not sure what you mean by "coping", so I'll just ramble. For me, being demi and bi is something I go back and forth on, and has been a journey over the last few years. I didn't know I was demi until I got together with my partner, and even exploration with him was a long process. Thankfully, he's also a-spec and was more than understanding about me. Honestly, I don't know if I would have been able to approach any kind of physical relationship without a partner like that. So discovering I resonated with the demisexual label after a while was a surprise. Having feelings and desires I'd never had before was honestly a little frightening, and still takes getting used to. But on the other hand, these feelings extend to noone else and the general idea of sex in media or conversation still has a foreign feel to me. And so I took the demisexual label.

As for being bi, I accepted that earlier, before I got together with my partner. However, it also is an ongoing journey and I've had to face some internalized homophobia over the years. My partner even points it out sometimes, such as when I made a joke about 'dont worry, I'm not gay' and he said, startled, 'yes you are??' so, yeah, that's a whole knot that might take a while. But I'm so much better than I used to be, thanks to my supportive partner, online community, and lots of self reflection.

I know exactly what you're talking about, Anon! I also felt this way. Despite having what I now recognize as crushes on SO many female friends, I always brushed this off because of my lack of sexual desire towards them. Until I had a revelation that it didn't actually mean anything. I didn't want to sleep with men either, so why was it such a big deal not to want to sleep with the beautiful girl I liked? The idea of the split attraction model also helped me, though I know it's not useful for everyone. To be able to say " I want to date/hug/ be close to/ love them" without having that imply "and kiss/have sex with them" was incredibly liberating for me. Because before that, I believed those were all one big bundle, when really they are separate things you are ALLOWED to have separate feelings about.

Following blogs and reading media about ace experiences, and sapphic experiences, was also very helpful to me. I believe that I needed to normalize what I was feeling. Reading love stories between women helped me recognize I was not gross or bad for liking them. I read stories from other aces and started to believe I was not some freak or broken, but rather simply a person with different experiences who was not at all alone in feeling that way.

As for feeling like you're " a phony and not really into girls unless you want sex with them", I'd like you to reflect on what that statement implies. Do you believe that sex is the defining characteristic of what makes a relationship work, as I once did? It's not true, dear. Liking a girl means you like a girl! So, what does liking a girl mean to YOU? Do you want to take her on a date? Hold hands? Dance? Kiss? Tell secrets? Spend lots of time together? Something else? You're not a phony, Anon, but perfectly valid, whatever your answers are.

One of the best things my partner ever told me was basically "There aren't any rules. We will define what our relationship is, and what we do in it." I encourage you to claim this idea too. You can find someone who likes you, and build a relationship you both like with them.

I'm always here to talk to, even if my inbox is dumb. I'll also freely answer dms too. 💜

Hi. I really enjoy your blog and thank you for being so positive. All the negativity about last night's ep bothers me. I would love to see Dean/Cas finally have that big moment, but it wouldnt make for good story telling if we got it so easily. I have felt since s12...we are getting real personal growth! I also feel something big is coming for Dean/Cas with how they have kept them apart and all the emotional baggage getting adressed. There has been no hug either and there is so much unsaid. ❤

Yeah, I mean... I watch the show with the full knowledge that no matter how important Dean and Cas’s relationship is, even to the actual structure of the narrative, the way they’re writing the story and the actual focus of the main plot... will never focus that directly on destiel. This doesn’t mean I think destiel isn’t A Thing they are writing, just that Who Dean Is As A Person and Who Cas Is As A Person both take narrative precedence over the potential for a textual romantic relationship going forward for them.

I have no idea how to say that without sounding negative about it or drawing wank on it, which is why I don’t usually attempt to state it so blatantly in public. But I am 100% not negative about this. I’m just speaking about it from a narrative structure perspective here, which I’ve been yelling FOR LITERAL YEARS bears a close resemblance to the structure of 1001 Nights, and the Scheherazade/Shahryar relationship. Their romance is NEVER in the foreground of the tale, and yet somehow the entirety of 1001 Nights IS THE OVERARCHING STRUCTURE OF THEIR ROMANCE. Other aspects of the story are more pressing (like Scheherazade having sacrificed herself in the attempt to stop other women from being killed every morning, but not actually wanting to die herself because She Is Smart and Has A Plan and showed up with a buttload of awesome stories to slowly guide her plan to fruition). All those stories she weaves, in the gaps between them, she and Shahryar slowly fall in love. It’s not something they confess out loud, but it is something they both gradually begin to feel and to understand. Their interpersonal side-plot grows slowly, over 1001 actual nights of storytelling and companionship, and it takes nearly THREE YEARS of constant nightly stories, never letting one story end at the wrong time (at daybreak, when Shahryar might choose to kill her, but always timing it JUST RIGHT so that he’d ask for another story to fill the hours until dawn... which would inevitably be interrupted on a cliffhanger with words unspoken still between them... interrupting moose, anyone? That would be Scheherazade’s sister, Dunyazade, who accompanied her on what was supposed to be Scheherazade’s literal last night on Earth, but whose prompting and strategic interruptions actually furthered the romantic tension growing between Scheherazade and Shahryar, preventing their story from coming to an end too soon).

So while Scheherazade and Shahryar and their slow fall into love with one another is literally fundamental to the entire narrative, there was no way for any of it to pay off before the end of the larger narrative, you know?

If Scheherazade can patiently continue spinning out her stories, setting her own eventual (hopeful!) personal happiness aside because she sees the bigger picture at stake, then I can certainly wait until the end of Supernatural, however long it continues until its story is finally done.

Does this mean I’m saying that romantic love confessions and a clear, undeniable canon romantic relationship will factor in to the ending of the series? Nope. I have no guarantees to offer. But it does mean that as long as the show keeps factoring the fundamental importance of their relationship into the larger overarching narrative, as well as their own personal character arcs, and continuing to poke at it both through narrative mirrors and textually laying Big Questions for them out on the table, then I’m gonna be Scheherazade about it.

Every episode begins (emotionally, for me) with the Dread Pirate Roberts having spared Westley’s life because of True Love, and telling him “I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” But then he doesn’t... and he continues not killing him, because it was all about true love. (yes, I’m saying the Princess Bride is a twist on the 1001 Nights narrative, at least insofar as The Dread Pirate Roberts persona goes. I mean... the parallel goes a lot deeper than this, into so much more of the metaphorical journey, the Hero’s Journey to prove himself worthy to his True Love, the quest for justice when he doubts the strength of that love to transcend death, after it was literally stolen away from him... I mean, this parallel also runs deep).

So that’s where we are with destiel. I’m perfectly 100% happy with that. Because I’m content to engage with the narrative they are actually presenting, and not delusionally projecting my own desire for Dean and Cas to just be happy now onto it in a way that it just does not exist in canon, you know?

All that said, YES. How long has it been since we’ve had a simple, “Hello, Dean.” Or even a HUG between them... since 13.06? YIKES THAT IS A WHILE. And we didn’t even get to hear the Hello, Dean at the end of 13.05 that we all yelled at the TV to fill that silent gap when Dean answered the phone and it was Cas calling him.

I choose to believe that the show is following their own unofficial theme song in this regard, though. They’ll be able to be happy at the end of the road. “There’ll be peace when you are done.” And until then, they’ve got a lot of road to cover, and a long way to go, and a lot of extraneous baggage to deal with. But they’re getting there, because they’ve always been headed there, even when they weren’t entirely sure where “there” was, you know?

But now we know Dean DOES know, at least in a general way. He’s not longing for a life that isn’t his anymore. He doesn’t feel cheated out of the white picket fence, apple pie life anymore. He’s made his own family (which absolutely does include Cas), and he recognizes there’s still work for them to do, but Dean himself is good with that. He’s in a strangely healthier place than he’s ever been in his whole entire life, including 4-year-old him who never knew death and fire and tragedy.

And that’s absolutely something to carry forward, wherever the road may lead.

And that’s also why I’ll eternally be frustrated with fandom bitterness over the literal structure of the entire narrative. I mean, this is not gonna change. This is the main story they are telling, and how they’re telling it. I only hope that being able to get some perspective on that will help people keep all of this in mind and truly appreciate the beauty of it all. This is why I personally feel this has the potential to be the greatest love story ever told, because it’s so much more than just an angel falling from heaven and raising a man from hell, and then meeting in the middle. It’s about BOTH of them, their choices, their failures and successes, and this entire process of understanding who they are in the larger structure of the universe, and who they could potentially be to one another.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

#spn 14.13 #spn 300 #destiel #spn s14 spoilers #the scheherazade of supernatural #this is how stories work #and saying destiel isn't the central focus of the story isn't diminishing its presence in the larger narrative #sorry if i kinda ranted and rambled at you here but this is so important to me #aurenia heart

where to begin?

i really dont know where to begin, so let’s begin with onision’s earliest interactions with women, the following are excerpts from lifeofonion.com because they seem to have the most comprehensive knowledge of greg’s pre-skye life:

Childhood Girls Greg dated and/or had crushes on in Elementary School.

Aubry

He says Aubry was the first girl he ever dated and the first girl he ever thought he loved. They dated in the 2nd grade. Greg says one day a boy named Phillip said Aubry was his girlfriend and told Greg to get away from her. He said other "nasty things", so Greg asked Aubry if she minded watching him beat Phillip. She said she did not, so he turned around and "began swinging as hard and fast as I could..." Phillip grabbed Greg's long hair and flipped him. Greg says he landed on the ground and Phillip "managed to land quite a few punches." The fight was broken up and Greg says Phillip cried and Greg smiled. Greg says he and Phillip were "ok" after the fight, but Phillip passed away two years later.

He says he and Aubry never talked after the incident.

Alana Greg says he had a crush on Alana in elementary school. He says she always had surgeries on her arm and felt bad for her.

Amber Greg says he fell for Amber in the 4th grade and she was the most beautiful girl he met up until that point. He says he spoke to her on occasion, but in 2005 he said he lost track of her.

[Unknown Name] In the 4th grade, he asked a girl out that looked like Winona Ryder with a letter. She ended up dumping with with a letter.

This could be Amber (above).

Pre-teen Girls Greg dated and/or had crushes on when he was 10 to 12 years old.

Lindsey Greg says Lindsey asked him out when he was in the 5th grade. He didn't understand what she meant and asked, "which movie?" She later broke up with him from a line he believes she got from the WB. He says it was all a "sham", but he thought she was funny at the time.

Julia Julia was Greg's first kiss. He also had his first sexual experience with her. Greg was 11 and Julia was 15. This would have been in 1997. Greg spoke about his experiences with Julia several times over the years. In 2018, Greg named and modeled a character in his 3rd book, Reaper's Creek, after Julia and wrote about their sexual experiences. This caused some controversy due to their ages.In 2019, Greg bought a love doll to sell nude photos and videos of and named her Julia Love.

Crystal Greg says he dated Crystal in the 6th grade. He says she looked like Zooey Deschanel, "except she was Mexican". She dumped him because she thought he had blue eyes, when he really had green eyes.

Teen Girls Greg dated and/or had crushes on when he was a teenager

Monica Greg says he asked out Monica in the 7th grade. He says "she basically looked like Jennifer Love Hewitt with braces." They dated for two weeks. She dumped him because her friend did not like him.

Sharnell

Greg says they dated when he was 15-years-old. He says he groped Sharnell's boob, then broke up with her.

Jennifer Greg had a crush on Jennifer when he was 15. Jennifer is Michael's sister. They attended Greg's father's church. Greg says she was hyper and loved to run. Greg says he had his eyes on Jennifer for a while. He loved her high energy and he thought she was fun. He also notes that he liked that she was inexperienced with boys because he likes "teaching people about everything".

Greg confessed his feelings for her in a letter, but she called him and told him she did not think of him the same way. Greg continued to see her for a while whenever he would visit his father.

Ashley Greg says he met Ashley in his high school Earth Club. They spoke on and off for three years. Eventually they began watching movies together in each other's arms. The relationship came to an end when Greg invented his religion, Sicesca, and they had a huge fight over it. Ashley told Greg she never wanted to speak to him again and he laughed about it.

Unknown Age Greg did not specify when he dated these girls.

Danielle

Greg says he broke up with Danielle because "she kissed me like a garden hose." Greg says years after they dated, she called him to brag about how large her breasts got. Keesha Greg says he thought that Keesha was "literally, psychotically in love with me... like... horror film "in-love"." He says everything she owned had his name on it and "every other word she spoke was one directed towards me, about me..." He says he broke up with her because she hit on him too much. He tied to tell her he preferred smiling as flirting, but she did not understand.

Tia

They were friends, but ended up dating. He said it was weird and when they kissed, he didn't feel anything. They broke up after only dating four days.

In 2005, while talking about their short relationship, Greg says, "she's quite fantastic, she has a wonderful laugh, beautiful eyes, smile.. she just makes me feel comfortable..." They possibly could have still been friends at that point as he kept in contact with many of his exes at that time.

and now we move onto the skye era, which my main source will be lifeofonion still but also skye and shiloh’s testimonies about their relationship.

skye and greg met in 2001 in their computer class, but didn’t start talking until 2003, and by 2005 they were married and greg was enlisted in the us air force (usaf)

“Skye and her sister, "Netunesa", participated in many of Greg's early websites and videos. For example, they began working on a video series on January 2, 2005 titled Odd Dolls. This was described on their site as dolls doing "hilarious/nasty things to one another.. these things involved such acts as, murder, arson, PDA, swearing, and various other non-PC actions." They made about 24 episodes. Greg said he broke up with Skye for the first time because she was depressed and he told her he could never make her happy. They because friends. In January 2005, Greg signed up for the United States Air Force. A few months later, in March 2005, someone who is believed to be Skye's mother told her to "be careful around Greg" because of his anger. Greg confronts this person through email and explains that he argues with Skye to "teach her something." The next day, Greg sent Skye what seems to be an email talking about a separation between them. He forwarded the email to his ex Tanya and asked her opinion. He then sent his ex another email, seemingly trying to win her back. Two months after the incident, on May 28, 2005, Greg and Skye became engaged. Greg stated, before their marriage he asked Skye to sign a prenup and she cried. Greg now uses this incident as evidence of his claim that Skye put on "water works" because she was interested in his money.”

greg and skye married in august of 2005 and for the first few years of their marriage they moved around a lot due to greg’s military job.

“On January 24th, 2007 Greg wrote a long blog post explaining why he made the decision for he and Skye to stop hanging out with friends and only hang out with each other and family. He explains he chose Skye to be with him for the rest of his life and having friends does not improve it and makes him suffer. Three days later, on January 27th, 2007, two mutual friends of Greg and Skye tried to separate them because the friends believed Greg was bad for Skye. Greg replied to this on his blog and told the friends that they are in-fact the ones that are bad for Skye because they can't look past his personality and they don't know he tells Skye he loves her every day.”

this is clearly the beginning of greg’s isolation and abuse patterns which he continued with shiloh, and continues with kai.

“In a 2008 blog post, Greg reveals his worst nightmare is not about monsters, but of his his wife leaving him or vice versa. This is something he would again say about his [husband], [Kai], in 2016. During his marriage to Skye, Greg would publicly express never wanting to have children. He said it would be selfish to have children due to overpopulation. (this was a speaks video) Years after the marriage (and after becoming a father), Greg said it was Skye who didn't want children and that's why he would say that. Greg revealed a couple of their marriage agreements in a 2010 video titled "Lover's Pact". One is an "honesty pact", to never lie or keep secrets from each other. The other agreement is a "health pact", to stay skinny. He states it would be selfish for one of them to gain weight and not take into consideration the other person's sexual needs. He says it would be hard for them to maintain attraction for the other when they are "intentionally, consciously letting themselves go". Greg spoke more about his marriage to Skye on his OnisionSpeaks channel and would give viewers advice about how to have a successful marriage like theirs. It is believed most of these videos were removed from his channel after the divorce.During the entirety of the marriage, Greg would often talk about he and Skye's relationship fondly online. Even as late as 2010 (the year he divorced her), when Greg was asked "At what point did you realize that Skye was the one you wanted to spend your life with???" he responded "When I realized her morals and interests were almost identical to mine… and that she loved me more than any girl I ever met… even when I’m being annoying or rude… she loves me… as I do her." Now, Greg says he only saw Skye as a friend and describes the marriage as "friends with benefits" or "bros hanging out". He says he was actually in love with his ex Shiree and only married Skye to receive military benefits, such as living off base and not having to live in the dorms. He says he and Skye would watch anime, play video games, and make love, but the making love stopped at the end of the relationship.“

so the patterns of abuse and control continue with the “health pacts.”

“Greg created his Onision YouTube on January 29, 2006. Greg was discharged from the United States Air Force in January 2009. He and Skye lived with Greg's mother for 8 months while they were finding a house. According to Greg, there was an [incident] where Skye was crying and his mother laughed and screamed in her face. He says this was because Skye didn't want help out around the house. After the military, Greg began to seriously pursue a YouTube career. Skye worked out of the house and supported both of them while Greg stayed home and worked on building his YouTube career. When his channel became successful enough to financially support them both, he asked her to quit her job and work for the YouTube channel with him full time. Skye would often act in the Onision Channel skits and appeared in his first viral hit, Banana Song. She would also make appearances in some OnisionSpeaks videos, usually messing around in the background or sitting next to him. Skye also designed some Onision shirts for Greg. Skye was adored by virtually all of Greg's fan base at the time.Skye joined YouTube on February 9, 2008 with her own channel, Tantaga (channel now removed), where she uploaded comedy and blooper videos. The last recorded number of subscribers on the Tantaga channel before its deletion was 13,164. At some point, it seems Skye lost interest in YouTube and would not work with Greg on videos anymore. He says she would lay on the couch all day and watch anime or look at pictures of flowers and dresses on her laptop. Skye later revealed she was suffering from depression. Toward the end of their marriage, the Onision channel became hugely successful. The channel had reached the Top 100 Most Subscribed YouTubers list by 2010.“

so greg was beginning to take off, but his and skye’s relationship was far from perfect, and skye was depressed, probably due to the isolation from her friends and most likely family, and they “divorced” on christmas eve 2010

“On December 24, 2010 Greg announced through his Facebook fanpage that he and Skye had been separated since December 17th. That same day, he uploaded "Greg & Skye Divorced", where he says he and Skye decided to get a divorce because they are not compatible and many other reasons. He says they are still friends and he still loves her. He says he and Skye will still be living together for a while. He says he moved on because he couldn't do it anymore and he hopes she moves on too. He tells his fans to be kind to her and show support because she deserves respect. Many fans were hoping it was a joke, but soon found out it wasn't. As the news spread, it brought mixed emotions to Greg and Skye's fanbase. Most were saddened by the news and some even went as far to say they felt like their own parents were getting a divorce. This news came seemingly out of nowhere to fans, as Greg and Skye seemed to be keeping up the same energy and emotions into their videos as when they first started. Some fans even contacted Greg to tell him he was making a mistake by divorcing Skye. Greg replies in the video "Onision's Divorce Was A Mistake?" saying these fans are ignorant and he did not have a perfect marriage. He says it was sad and draining. On December 25, Greg uploaded the skit video "Demon Possessed Girl" to his main channel. The video featured him, Skye and Cyr. It was the last skit Greg uploaded with Skye. At the end of the skit he asked fans to show Skye love, she could use it due to recent hardships. During this time Greg had his friend Cyr staying at their house. Sometime after Skye had moved out of the home, Greg uploaded the video "She Betrayed Me". In the video he walks around his house as he lists items Skye and her sister have taken from the home. He heavily implies she stole over $2,000 of his items from his home when he was not there. He says he wished she had told him she was going to take items from the home beforehand and that he was still willing the follow the "agreement" they had over living arrangements and monthly payments. Text appears under him, revealing the details. "I agreed to either cover her bills in my home for 2 years, or pay her $1,000 a month for a year outside my home" Greg has since deleted the video. After uploading this video, he uploaded another video showing surveillance footage of Skye and her sister removing items through his front porch. In the video he says he will take legal action. This video has also been deleted.After Skye began receiving harassment due to Greg's videos, he uploaded "Please Leave Skye Alone", where he asked fans to stop leaving hate comments on her channel. Skye says the divorce was sudden and came out of nowhere. Greg states he threatened her with divorce for the first time in June 2010 over an argument about their possessions. He has also stated he asked for one in October and regrets not following through with it at that time. There are two main reasons Greg states as to why he divorced his first wife. One reason is that he was upset that Skye "felt entitled to 50% of his assets". He says he made it clear their relationship was not about material items. He says despite marriage being an asset split in the eyes of the law, he believed they had an agreement that "everything she acquired in her life was hers, and he in his". He says when she wanted their possessions to be split, she was showing greed and he wanted out. The other reason Greg says he divorced Skye was because she "just sat around and browsed the web". He says she began to have problems with motivation and would quit making videos with him in the middle of filming. He also says she once had a "melt down" in-front of him and his mom for no reason.”

so this is where things start to get legally sketchy, he writes HIS OWN DIVORCE AGREEMENT, and follows skye around the house screaming at her to sign it. so it wasn’t legal to begin with because it wasn’t notarized, or written by an actual lawyer, or an actual legal contract in any way, shape, or form, but then he makes skye sign it under duress, making it doubly invalid

“When talking or blogging about his ex-wife, Skye, Greg often posts the divorce contract he created. The contract is dated December 22, 2010. In the contract Greg states that he would let Skye continue to live in his house rent free until December 22, 2011, 1 year. If she moves out, he states he would pay her $1,000 a month. The contract also states, when Skye signs the papers, she forfeits all home ownership rights to Greg. Greg often brings up this contract to prove that Skye ignored her signed agreement to him. He says when she and her sister took items from him home, she stole the signed agreement, although he had already made copies. He says in the end, that made no difference. According to Greg, Skye declined the offer to continue living with him because she was still in love with him and being around him would be too painful for her. (It's worth noting Greg was planning on starting his relationship with Shiloh during this time and shortly after separating from Skye he began living with Shiloh.)According to Skye, after Greg wrote up the contract he demanded her to sign it. "He would proceed to follow me around the house for hours at a time screaming at me that if I really loved him, I would sign the paperwork, Eventually after the endless onslaught, I gave in as my spirit was quite broken." Skye says due Greg forcing her to sign the contract and the fact that it was not proper or notarized, the court determined the contract was null. Skye [pursued] Greg legally for alimony payments. For years Greg has said Skye stole from him by lying about how much money of the Onision business she was entitled to. He says he got scared and settled without stepping into a courthouse.”

this is everything up to the skye era as described by outside sources, my next post will be skye’s testimony of their relationship (if i can find it), if not my next post will be the beginning of the shiloh era.

im sorry this was so fucking long but if you actually read the whole thing sauce me a follow? this is going to be an ongoing project but i just started and appreciate any exposure i can get

#onision #skye #shiloh #coolguykai #anti onision #anti onion boy #anti onion man #anti o #fuck onision man

My soul belongs to you Part 5 - Roman Reigns x Reader

Note: Please note that this story takes place in a Greek Mythology respectively Greek Underworld AU, also in modern times (hard to explain, see for yourselves :D). So please bear with me if I mess up with the accuracy somewhere. :-)

Summary: You are a barista at Starbucks, having noticed that there is a customer visiting that coffee shop on a regular basis, but although you have seen him several times already, all you know is his name: Roman. One day your life takes a turn for the worst when you receive a fatal call, telling you that your sister is fighting for her life. You are willing to give your own life in exchange for hers, you are willing to give everything to save her. Little do you know that someone was listening to you, someone was willing to save your sister’s soul and take yours instead. And you soon have to figure out that there is more to this world than you would have ever believed.

Warnings: none

Pairing: Roman Reigns x Reader

In order to read the other parts, please enter “My soul belongs to you” in the search on my blog. You should find them then without further problems. :-)

Tag List: @queenofthearchitect @trixdeee @calwitch @alexisbagans143 @the-queens-reign @mermaid-at-heart @taryndibiase @taryn-dibiase @kingslayers-reign @scuzmunkie @happelu970 @vebner37 @sausagefest1996 @yndaree @i-prefer-queen @nikora3010 @aria725 @ersotoruiz @ashhdaniellee95 @roman-hetfield @lustyromantic @i-dont-care-i-ship-it-69 @easyobsession @calicina @neganlangdon

You carefully moved to your door, listening closely there to make sure that no one was in front of it, before you slowly turned the key, opening the door and peeking outside. The floor was completely empty just as you had hoped and before you could change your opinion, you were slipping outside of the room, making your way through the palace. You were moving as carefully and quietly as you could and you prayed that you wouldn’t run into Roman once again, not willing to even think of him by his real persona. You had no idea where you had to go, had no idea, where the exit was, but eventually after a little eternity you found it. At least you thought that it was, however, when you were opening the double door, you found yourself on a patio and your breath automatically hitched.

The view in front of you was absolutely breathtaking. Whatever you had expected, it definitely wasn’t that. Whenever you had read about the underworld or hell, you imagined it to be a deadly and horrific place by the descriptions you were given. You thought, that you would hear screams of pain, that you would see suffering, that everything was either pitch black, dark and gruesome or that there would be fire, an unbearable hotness and endless suffering. But what you actually saw? It couldn’t be further from what you had imagined or what those books made you believe. You were staring down at an endless landscape, the grass as green as you had never seen it before, countless roses in front of you with a sky, that couldn’t be more blue. You didn’t really trust your eyes, thinking that all of this must be a beautiful illusion.

You slowly made your way down, heading down the stairs until you reached the beautiful garden, smelling the typical smell of the roses and all of the other beautiful flowers surrounding you. You carefully touched them, noticing that they were as real as they could be. You wandered around, taking in the beautiful sight in front of you before you left the garden and apparently the borders of the palace, wandering outside of them. The whole landscape portrayed sheer beauty; there were flowers, trees, little houses with people in and in front of them. As you looked closer you realized that they were not of flesh and blood, that you could see through them if you looked closely. Those must have been the souls, that came here to continue their lives in the underworld. If you were honest to yourself, it looked more like a paradise than the cruel hell you always expected when the word "underworld" came to your mind.

You were so trapped in its beauty that you didn't realize how someone was moving closer to you until you felt a soft tugging at your hand. When you looked down a little girl, approximately eight years old, smiled up at you, asking: "Are you new here? I'm Lizzy." You had to smile as well as you answered: "Yes I'm new here. I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you, Lizzy."

"Nice to meet you, too. You aren't dead, are you?" You gulped hard as you realized that she obviously was, before you shook your head, saying: "No I am not. Well at least I hope so.“ You looked down at your body, noticing that you still were made of flesh and blood, answering almost too quiet for your own ears: „At least I hope that I’m not. I don’t know.“ You didn’t want to even think of it, didn’t want to accept that fate.

"But why are you here then?"

"My sister was close to dying and I have traded my soul for hers without knowing it." She looked at you with big eyes before she nodded in understanding, a huge smile on her face as she said: "Oh I see. But you are going to love it here Y/N. Everyone around here is really nice and there is nothing to worry about. You just shouldn't wander alone to certain parts of the underworld since that's where the bad people have to stay."

"The bad people?"

"Yes, people that did hurt others, people that killed others. Just like the man, that is responsible that my family and I are here."

"You mean...?"

"He came into our house one night in order to rob us. Daddy tried to stop him and so did Mommy but they couldn't. He basically sent us here. I don't know what had happened to him but I had seen him when he was taken to one of the places, I'm not supposed to go."

"I'm so sorry.", you said, your heart heavy for that little girl in front of you. "Oh don't be. We have a beautiful after life here. There's no pain, no sorrow and we are together. Daddy always says that Hades is a great guy and that we have to be grateful for all that he is doing for us down here. You know giving up his chance to be with the other gods and goddesses and instead making sure that we are safe down here, that everything is going according to the rules. And he is right. When we came here, I was terribly afraid but Hades made sure that I felt comfortable as he was showing me the underworld, showing me that it was a beautiful place, that I could live here and be together with my family for all eternity. Has he shown you around as well?", Lizzy asked, a huge grin on her face. You shook your head as you mumbled: "No. To be honest, we are not really on good terms currently."

"Don't tell me that he hadn't been nice to you? If you want me to, I can talk to him.“, she wanted to know, her tiny face angry, causing you to laugh out loud. "Let's just say that he hadn't really prepared me for the fact that I had to come with him, that I had to live down here and it caught me off guard.", you said amused, having to admit that you found that little girl adorable. Once again she nodded her head as if she was understanding it completely, replying: "You are really going to love it here. It's a beautiful place and Hades is really nice when he doesn't hate you."

Before you could answer you heard a woman call for Lizzy in the distance. "That's my mum. I have to to go. See you later Y/N.", she squealed before she ran towards her mother. "See you later Lizzy", you exclaimed before you continued with your initial way, wandering around, Lizzy's words spinning around your mind. You didn't really pay attention to where you were going, didn't really notice that the beautiful landscape vanished until you found yourself in a dead forest, that was surrounded by fog, the trees surrounding you looking creepier and spookier than you could have imagined.

You had no idea where you were. The air around you was becoming colder, there were lamentation, that seemed to come from all around you. You had no idea how to get back to the palace and the noises you were hearing kind of snowed you, drawing you nearer although you didn't feel like going there. You wanted to turn back, wanted to return to the safety of the palace and its surrounding gardens but you couldn't. Your feet dragged you to a different destination, following the painful voices and screeches, that you were hearing. You could feel shivers running down your spine as you were walking through the forest, having the feeling as if thousands of invisible eyes were following you.

You had no idea what you should do, you didn't even dare to scream for help as the scenery once again changed. You had stepped out of the forest, not knowing how long you had been wandering through it already and your breath instantly hitched. The part of the underworld you had seen first reminded you of a paradise. It was beautiful, it was full of light, everything was blooming, but this here... It was the exact opposite. It looked like the pits of hell you had always imagined. There were neither flowers nor trees, everything was dark and black. The air was hot, you could barely breathe. And those terrible voices, that were drawing you closer, although everything in you screamed that you should turn around and run away the fastest that you could, you couldn’t escape them.

Instead you were walking closer to where they came from like you were a puppet on a string. "Help me", one voice in particular screeched as you were following it. The closer you got the more people you saw, all of them seemed to be in different stages of agony, men and women quite alike. You wanted to help, felt bad for them, but at the same time it smelled like a trap, it felt as if something was off. You knew, that you shouldn't go further and yet you did. "Come here, help me", you heard that particular voice once again.

As soon as you were close enough a hand was grabbing your wrist, holding it tight. "Now you belong to us", you heard a creepy voice, the hand grabbing you was more skeleton like than human. You tried to free yourself, tried to get away, but you couldn't as you were drawn closer and closer to that dark pit, that smelled as if thousands of corpses were rotting in there. Fear threatened to overwhelm you as you tried to break free, as you tried to get away from it. "Let go of me". your voice was barely more than a whisper, your wrist burning like fire. You had no idea where you were, had no idea how you came here but you knew for sure, that you wouldn't be able to break free, that whatever this thing down there was, it was dragging you in.

Suddenly that grip around your wrist was gone, a shrill scream could be heard, that made you cover your ears without thinking about it twice. As you looked next to you, you saw Roman standing there, his face furious as he tossed whatever had been grabbing you, back to where it came from. He turned to you, his voice angrier than it should be as he wanted to know: "What the hell are you doing out here?" You were still shaking as you snapped back: "What? I thought I was a guest and not a hostage... Which would mean that I am free to run around." You could watch as he calmed down, his voice rather concerned now as he answered: "Yes and I meant it like that. Sure, you are free to wander around, but there was a reason why I wanted to show you the underworld first. Certain places down here can be dangerous and I meant to stick to my promise that nothing will happen to you."

You wanted to scold him, wanted to tell him off, but you realized how massively unfair that would have been, hence why you took a deep breath instead, saying: "I'm sorry. I mean for running around here, for behaving like I have done. The whole thing. It was just too much to handle I guess." He gave you one of his irresistible smiles as he answered: "No offense taken. I can absolutely understand that this must be overwhelming. And I'm really sorry, that I had to take you down here like that. I guess I just thought I would scare you less that way. I guess I have been terribly wrong."

"Yeah you could have prepared me a little bit better I would say.", you said, a tiny smile on your face, adding shortly after: "Does the offer of showing me the underworld still stand?"

"Absolutely", he answered amused before he gestured you to follow him, leading you back through that creepy forest. You watched him from the side as you wanted to know: "So is one of those superpowers a god possesses to know where all people are throughout every single second?" You could hear his deep chuckle as he answered: "I'm afraid we are not as cool as that. The truth is, that we have something like employees, people and spirits, that are making sure, that everything is going according to plan, informing us if things are slightly off." You nodded your head, asking: "So one of those spirits found me?"

"No, it was your little friend telling me where you went as I was searching for you." You had to think about it for a few moments, before a smile appeared on your face, wanting to know: "Lizzy?"

"Lizzy", he confirmed amused. You stayed silent for a few moments before you said, your voice sadder than before: "She and her family had been killed, haven't they?"

"Yes they had. Rather brutally to be honest. I know, that it's actually nothing I should talk about but her father had to watch her mother being raped and killed like he had to watch Lizzy getting killed before that scum of society slit his throat.“, Roman answered with you hissing outraged: "I hope that their murderer rots in hell."

"He does. And he almost dragged you in."

"That creature, that was holding my wrist…?“

"Was their murderer, yes. He probably somehow knew that you made Lizzy's acquaintance, getting a certain kick of bewitching you. That was the second time I've tossed him in there personally and if he asks for it, I will do so a third and a fourth." You wanted to say something else, wanted to ask him how he can handle his life down here, but instead Roman let you know: "I guess I should tell you a few things about this whole place here first. The underworld is a realm, that is only visible for the dead, made solely for them. No living could ever find it and if they do for whatever reasons, Cerberus is there to hold them back."

"But I'm here.", you said before you added: "Does this mean that I am dead?" You feared his answer, but you simply had to know. „No, you are very much alive.", he smiled at you, saying: "Although I have to stick to the rules down here, I nevertheless make them. I can alter them to a certain degree but I can't apply them to some people and not to others. Since you traded your soul for your sister's, I brought you here as one, meaning your body and your soul are still connected. You're as alive as I am. Sometimes exceptions have to be made." You didn't ask what he meant as you listened closely what he was telling you. "When I brought you here, I basically skipped a part. Cerberus protecting the gates of the underworld was not the real entrance. I didn't want to scare you, so I haven't started at the very entrance but we can go there if you want to. Before you can enter the underworld, you are greeted by spirits, that are supposed to scare every living away, that should find the entrance to the underworld. If you come that far you will meet grief, anxiety, diseases, old age, fear, agony, death and sleep. Besides that, there are many beasts like centaurs, gorgons, the Lernaean Hydra or Harpies guiding the entrance. Souls, that are on their way to the underworld, will be brought to Cerberus by my loyal Ferryman Charon, who brings them either over the river Acheron or the river Styx."

While he was talking, Roman led you back to the beautiful landscapes you had been coming from and you listened closely, comparing everything he was telling you with the knowledge you thought you had gathered from your books. "Is it true, that the underworld is surrounded by six rivers?", you wanted to know with Roman chuckling as he answered: "I see you have really studied that book. But no, there are only five main rivers. You have Styx, the river of hatred, circling the underworld seven times. There's Acheron, the river of pain, Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, Phlegethon, the river of fire and Cocytus, the river of wailing. Whatever you are doing, don't go into them, don't drink from them… Acheron makes you feel pain, Lethe makes you forget everything. They stick by their name.“

You nodded your head, wanting to know: "Once a soul passes Cerberus, what then? Is it allowed to wander free?" Roman shook his head as he continued: "No. Since you were fainting, you unfortunately couldn't see what was happening then. Come on, follow me." You didn't dare to ask where you were going but just minutes later you saw Cerberus' back in front of a massive gate while a lot of souls passed through it.

"Have they...? I mean...", you started with Roman nodding as if he knew what you wanted to ask: „Yes, all of them have recently died. I know that there is a lot of different religions out there but no matter what people believe, there is only one underworld. Everyone that dies, ends up here, no matter your culture, country, religion. Those souls coming down here... They have died of war, old age, suicide, homicide, accidents... They are all coming down here in this one place. Come on.", you felt his hand on your back as he was guiding you closer, so you could see what was going on.

He didn't let go of you probably fearing that you might faint again. You couldn't turn your eyes away as you noticed that the souls were heading towards three people, that sent out an aura of authority. "Are those the judges?", you whispered as Roman nodded his head, explaining: "Yes as soon as the souls arrive here they are at the mercy of Minos, Rhadamanthus and Aeacus, which decide the fate of the souls, sending them to one of technically three bigger areas down here in the underworld.“ Before he could continue, you wanted to know: "Do you have any say in this?"

"Of course, I do. But I'm trusting them and their judgement. There was never a case where I had to interfere, where I had to make their decision obsolete, although I'm basically looking at every choice they are making.“

"Isn't that a lot of work?", you asked skeptical, causing him to chuckle as he answered: "Yes it is, but since it is my only purpose in life and the underworld doesn't run itself, it is okay." You were curious, wanted to know what was with Persephone but you didn't dare to ask. Somehow you didn't really want to make her acquaintance although it was you that had mentioned her a couple of days ago."What happens to them now?", you asked with Roman explaining: "As already mentioned, the judges choose now where the souls are sent to. It is taken into account how they have behaved while they were alive, what kind of people they were, how they treated others, how they treated animals etc. Wealth and money doesn't count down here, it is your character and your treatment of others as well as how much good you had done, that decides where you are sent to. If they choose a soul for Elysium, it has to drink from Lethe first, so it forgets anything of its former life and can live a restful and stress-free afterlife."

"Why don't you leave them their memories?", you wanted to know. Roman gave you a sad smile, replying: "Because it would hurt them too much. They should be able to live a peaceful life here and don't need to be reminded of their past lives or the way they died."

"But maybe they want to remember. Maybe they don't want to forget the people close to them, the people they loved, the life they have left?", you mentioned, thinking about your own past, that seemed to be so long ago. Roman must have heard the sadness in your voice as he answered: "Don't worry Y/N. It's not like that. Take a look at Lizzy. Once a soul's family member, friend, wife or husband, you name it... Once they arrive here said soul will remember them, will remember the beautiful life they had shared. It is basically just a limited time, that they would forget about that to lessen their pain. It is my duty to make sure that they will recognize and remember each other once they meet again." Your heart immediately went light when you heard those words. That indeed sounded like paradise to you. "That sounds beautiful", you smiled with Roman returning it as he stated: "It is. Inside of Elysium there is the Isles of the Blessed. It would be too complicated to explain it now in detail but under certain circumstances you are granted access to the Isles of the Blessed, that grants unending bliss. There's another area, that consists of the Mourning Fields and the Fields of Punishment. The Mourning Fields are inhabited by those souls, that wasted their lives on unrequited love. I know, that it sounds harsh but those souls going there are not bad. They even have been granted access to the Elysium but for whatever reason, that only they know, they decided that they didn't want to drink from Lethe, that they didn't want to forget their past life but they would rather spend their eternity mourning what they had lost. This Field just like the Field of Punishment is located close to the forest we had passed before. The Field of Punishment is full of those souls, that had committed crimes, that were mostly bad during their lifetime. Those souls aren't forgetting their old lives either as they shall remember what they are getting punished for. It's a task I don't exactly love but it is my job to decide on their punishment, just as I can grant them absolution when I'm of the opinion that they fully regret, what they had done. In that case I can send them to Elysium after all if they paid their dues. The place, I have found you before, is the worst form of the Field of Punishment."

You shivered once again as you whispered: "That was Tartarus, wasn't it?" Roman nodded his head and without thinking about it twice he was pulling you closer, whispering: "Tartarus is the most terrible place in the whole underworld. It's not really belonging here but it's rather a place far beneath the underworld. It is dark through and through, the fiery water of Phlegethon is running down there. Being in Tartarus equals pure terror and horrific pain. Only the worst souls like the murderer of Lizzy's family end up down there. Sometimes they try to find their way out, sometimes they make it to the surface, but as soon as they reach it, I'm tossing them back in right away. I'm just so sorry that he got his hand on you." You were gulping hard as you rubbed over your wrist.

You didn't want to think about it so you asked: "What's the third place?" Roman studied your face for some more moments but whatever he wanted to say, he decided against it, as he answered instead: "Those are the Fields of Asphodel, basically that area, where people head to, that wanted to remember their past, and people that were not good enough for Elysium, as stupid as this sounds. It is the area surrounding the palace." You thought about it before you wanted to know: "So this means that Lizzy and her family were not good enough for Elysium?" Roman had to smile as he realized how shocked you sounded. "No, this just means that a soul down here has a saying in where it wants to be. The judges make their choice but that doesn't mean, that a soul doesn't have a free will. If a soul is allowed to enter Elysium but wants to stay in the Fields of Asphodel, it is free to do so. If a soul is sent to the Fields of Punishment, it has no other choice than to go there. People, that have been good in their lifetime, can decide here as well."

This statement somehow really calmed you down. Before you could say anything else there was an uproar in front of the judges as some souls didn't seem to be happy with where the judges were sending them. "Seems as if there is work to do. How about you head back to the palace while I take care of this matter? I will catch up with you once I am done here and will answer every possible question you have then.", Roman's deep voice asked, locking eyes with you. You scolded yourself as you had the feeling of drowning in them, trying to keep a clear thought as you answered: "Okay. I'm trying not to get lost again." You heard his heartfelt laugh as he replied: "I really hope so." With that he turned around, heading for the gate while you were staring after him. You still couldn't process any of that but he was right with one thing. When he was around you, you felt safe.

Blog Post:

A significant shift in the air tells us that the big, bold and the beautiful has arrived at our doorstep once again. As we prepare to welcome majestic covers and fresh beginnings, come the new season, excitement is an understatement for the fashion community when it comes to describing the annual presence of September. The anticipation of the coming season has inspired us to reflect upon an array of iconic September issues, both old and new, retelling and reflecting on their own individual, remarkable stories.

A quick throwback to 2009 and we arrive at popular fashion documentary The September Issue, staring some of the industries biggest giants including Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington. Together the duo welcomed us into American Vogue for an insightful look into the magazine’s biggest and most influential issue. Whilst fashion editor’s a like come under a monthly pressure of curating a magazine that harnesses both intriguing content and spectacular editorials, the issue with the strongest fashion pull continues to fall upon the month of September. But why is this? As the summer holidays conclude and there’s a back to school feeling looming, the significance of the Autumn/Winter season derives from it’s ‘fresh start’ appeal and, of course, the excitement of shopping for a new wardrobe. Out with the old and in with the new doesn’t go unnoticed, as the September continues to be the largest issue of the year due to the influx of advertisers, all keen to show off their new campaigns and collections.

Just five days ago Editor-In-Chief at British Vogue, Edward Enninful, revealed his September “Forces for Change” cover in collaboration with, and guest edited, by HRH The Duchess of Sussex. The beautiful cover uniquely welcomes 15 change-makers, “All titans in their respected fields” Edward praised on is Instagram post. If we remember back to the editor’s first issue of Vogue in December 2017, where the stunning Adwoa Aboah graced the cover, I find myself reliving that same urgency to get my hands on my own copy. Wanting a piece of the excitement just for myself. Edward has done just that once again, whilst he’s served us the magnificent in the meantime, it’s covers like this that are truly inspiring as we watch an iconic moment in fashion unfold in front of our very own eyes. From 16 year old climate and environmental activist Greta Thunberg, to 81 year old acting legend Jane Fonda. British Vogue certainly welcomes both the old and the new when celebrating extraordinary women that are redefining our world for the better. The most touching and perhaps most remarkable element to the cover falls responsible to the 16th slot, you. The Duchess herself specifically curated a space for me and you, allowing us to take our place alongside 15 other strong women. Simply by looking in the mirror, to be printed on the cover, we are all invited to be a part of this movement.

September 2018 in particular was an outlet for fashion magic, or more specifically #BlackGirlMagic. The trending hashtag was a result of an influx of beautiful Black women gracing the covers of some of the industries biggest publications, including Vogue, Porter and Elle. In the wake of this significant representation for women of colour, cover stars including Rihanna, Zendaya and Lupita Nyong’o were just a few of the talented women, of all different hues, showcasing the multifaceted beauty of Black women. These covers not only aided redefining the beauty standards within Western culture, but it also became a platform for showcasing both Black culture and talent through both the cover stars and the behind the scenes teams too. As Beyoncé’s starred on the US Vogue cover, for the fourth time, the singer hand-selected 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell. This put Tyler amongst one of the youngest photographers to have shot the cover of Vogue, as well as the first African American to capture the cover in its 125 years of history. Never has a season seen so much diversity in its casting across a vast variety of publications, and once again, it truly was magical.

Perhaps it was down to a friend loaning me this magazine after his holiday in New York that has lead to me titling this 2012 cover as ‘iconic’. The striking fuchsia of the Marc Jacobs gown brings me back to almost a child-like state of mind, when the fashion industry seemed so foreign and holding a glossy magazine from New York was the pinnacle point of my week, perhaps month. Yet, from her eyebrow raising decision to leak the cover on her fanbase website, Little Monsters, Gaga aligned her appearance with US Vogue as both exciting and controversial from the outset. Seemingly without blessing from the publications Editor-In-Chief, Anna Wintour, the singer wrote “SHH DONT TELL TWITTER/ SEPT ISSUE OF VOGUE MAGAZINE/ Sorry Anna but the underground kids deserve it.” Following this, although no secret fashion editorials are all subjected to retouching, more press amounted as the magazine innocently released a behind the scenes video unaware that they were also blowing their cover. Literally. The stark contrast revealed the not so fabulous Marc Jacobs gown was no where near as flattering or ‘cinching’ and her bleached mane was no more than a birds nest. Leaving the cover as a bittersweet moment for as the ‘Born this Way’ singer as she appeared to not be practicing what she preached.

As publications begin releasing their covers and they hit newsstands in the coming days, LOVE, Cosmopolitan and Harper’s Bazaar, to name a few, will appear to be left in the shadow of magazine giant British Vogue, as they continue to steal the headlines. Astonishingly perhaps a magazine will become the ‘must-have’ item this season and a Gucci handbag won’t be comparable to the originality crafted by HRH Duchess of Sussex, Edward Enninful and the 15 change-makers.
