2024.05.20 09:01 PliablePotato A full analysis of HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
This is by far my favorite album from Billie and is slowly becoming my favorite album of the year. I've been through the album many times now and want to share my interpretation of the entire work as I firmly believe it is intentionally cohesive and structured to have an overarching narrative.
Overall, this album is of course about a relationship Billie was in. I do think she wrote these songs about multiple different people but structured it to be cohesive. Each song throughout the album is a step along this journey and either is parallel to, or in direct reference of, the stages of the relationship and her feelings throughout. She leverages a number of metaphors and thematic imagery that's mentioned multiple times throughout the album
SKINNY
On its surface, SKINNY is about her fans, the public and the media and their lack of awareness of her actual mental state (ie they think skinny = happy) . In addition, I view this as her introducing the narrative. This is current Billie reflecting on the relationship and her experiences and setting up the story to "feed the hungry internet". She asks persistently "do you still cry?" knowing that she herself does even after everything she did for this person and "not doing them wrong".
This song sets up 2 important thematic elements first is The Bird/Cage/Trap. While it varies from positive to negative, but ultimately, the theme is a sense of being trapped in the relationship, for better or for worse. I do think that is also is tied to this relationship being with another women and Billie's sexuality. It has a parallel theme to The door which i will discuss later.
The other theme is String Motif which is what ill call the melody and string orchestra that plays at the end of this song. In my opinion, this melody represents the relationship itself and is used 2 other times throughout the album for different purposes. This is personally my favorite thematic element as its beautiful and pays off mid-way through the album.
LUNCH
Lunch is fun, flirty and explicit first step in the relationship. Its Billie and her love interest kicking things off intense and obviously full of passion. In the broader context of the album its the "honeymoon" phase, full of heightened emotions and fun. This may be a stretch, but i do find it fascinating putting a song called LUNCH after a song called SKINNY and i think its a metaphor for her relationship fulfillment and happiness in the moment.
CHIHIRO
Personal favorite on the album. There is a ton of imagery and parallels to spirited away in this song of course that i think Genius and other lyric websites do a decent job of breaking down. I'm going to focus on the context of the album.
CHIHIRO is Billie dealing with some of the likely obvious red flags she noticed immediately as things become more serious. Its Billie trying to reconcile the "fling" that's occurring and it being a potential serious relationship that she needs to invest emotionally in. She has reservations considering the lack of response or commitment from the other person and the theme of space/rest/freedom ("I need to be along, take a break", "cant cope with anymore") as opposed to Billie's lack of sleep / closeness / commitment ("waiting in the garden", "come back around" etc.) (which comes up a few times in the album).
However, Billie ultimately aligns on committing, trusting they'd "show [her] whats in store". This is also the song that introduces The door. This theme, I typically associate with the bird change / trap (which is also mentioned in this song). It represents opening up about their feelings, letting the feelings "out". and letting Billie in. This may be a stretch, but I do wonder if its associated with the other person not feeling comfortable "coming out" in the sense of their sexuality either.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
Billie is now happy to "stay in the cage" with the person, calling back to the Bird/Cage/Trap theme. Birds of a feather sticking together. The lyric "I dont know why im crying" i think is referring to CHIHIRO, basically "i dont know what I was so worried about this is great" but also she still feels an uneasiness about the whole thing. Billie is willing to spend her whole life (till the day she dies) with this person (or in other words the love of her life).... so she says. Despite the rose colored glasses, Billie starts to sense the cracks in the 2nd verse. "Say you dont see it....Say you wanna quit". Billie is all in at this stage giving everything she's got to try to make this work and just hoping their lack of commitment is "a bit" or them "being stupid". For now, Billie is in love and thats all that matters.
When i first heard this song i kinda thought it was a bit too "cliche" for Billie. However, in this context it feels like shes grasping at straws, trying to find the good, looking past the issues and saying shes in love. It makes future songs like L'AMOUR DE MA VIE hit harder since its basically calling her feelings in this song a lie.
WILDFLOWER
This takes a bit of a detour in my opinion. I think this is more about a previous relationship (though thats of course speculative). I dont want to discuss real people because i dont think it matters. This is a song about her supporting a women through a break up and ultimately dating her ex and the guilt / issues that come along with that. I think narratively, shes looking back on other issues in her past relationships, mistakes she made and ultimately her not speaking up when her feelings were hurt. I have a theory that the women she is supporting is who this album is about (ie she ended up dating both of them which makes these lyrics hit even harder) but thats just speculative.
THE GREATEST
This is a pivot point on the album. Its when Billie "snaps out of it" so to speak and realizes how much she is putting in but how little she is getting out. She expresses this in many different ways, begging for passion and waiting for something to change. Right off the hop Billie mentions again the rest / staying up all night theme of her committing while her partner is allowed space / comfort / coming and going. While it was a simple worry originally in CHIHIRO, it is now officially a problem weighing on her. "Man am i the greatest" is notably sarcastic but also has some truth to it. Its a reflection of regret/shame in terms of just how much time and energy she's put in despite getting nothing ("doing whats best without a reward" "All my love and patience", "...time I waited" etc etc).
This song ends with The String Motif, the same one played at the end of SKINNY. However, this time she is belting it "I loved you, and I still do...Just wanted passion/what i gave you". While its related to the other lyrics, I feel this as "current" Billie screaming through, telling the story that connects us back to SKINNY (and hint hint ultimately to BLUE). This moment is so powerful because it symbolizes her change in perspective but just how much it still weighs on her and upsets her. Its a very important moment in this relationship/album and how she cope's / deals with it. Its probably my favorite moment on the whole album.
L'AMOUR DE MA VIE
I feel like this song is YIN to BIRDS OF A FEATHERs YANG. Basically, she admits that all these feelings were bullshit because she knew there were problems from the beginning. Shes over all of the excuses the person was giving for not committing, opening up etc. They said they "cared" a lot and would be destroyed if she left but they moved on right away. I think its a little over the top like BIRDS OF A FEATHER was but in the opposite direction. She's coping with the hardship she faced and described in THE GREATEST. The back half of this song I just think is her anger coming out about how little time it took for the person to move on, she flings dissses (you were so mediocre) and proclaims, "Its over now".
THE DINER
Im curious what other's think. Obviously on its surface this is about her stalkers and how conniving it is however i do think its connected to the narrative. She mentions trying to save the person which is a theme thats brought up again later. The way i felt is that this is her obsessing over the relationship they moved onto in L'AMOUR DE MA VIE. Shes stalking them trying to figure out what she was missing and how she couldve made it work.
BITTERSUITE
This is a reflection on many dream sequences Billie has about the relationship. Shes not over it, shes on tour overseas now but is still obsessed with it its ("underneath all of her beliefs"). She imagines that she is now desired by the person (the thing that she desperately wanted in THE GREATEST). She admits she hasnt been able to fill the void left since they broke up. She also brings up the theme of not sleeping (despite the dreams). At the end of this song she also brings references back to L'amour dema vie" and "Open up the door for me". Shes dreaming and hoping and fantasizing about how it was, what it could have been and what she wanted. By the end of it she seems to be getting what she wanted... but its unfortunately just a dream. Of course this transitions into BLUE with the same melody at the end and BLUE has coming.
BLUE
Blue closes things off and explicitly connects all of the major themes in the album. She makes direct references to several other songs "Birds of a feather", told you a lie desole (L'amour dema vie), dont know whats in store / open the door (CHIHIRO), in the back of my mind (WILDFLOWER) im still over seas (BITTERSUITE), a bird in a cage (SKINNY). This is her reflecting, accepting and trying to get over it but having difficulty.
The transition in the music and ultimately the lyrics is to her gaining understanding and acceptance for the other person. She's able to cope with the relationship falling apart because of what the other person went through. This provides a different meaning to BLUE. While at first it was her being sad, now its her now ex-partner growing up BLUE (likely not accepted by her parents or a difficult childhood). Billie proclaims "i dont blame you, but i cant change you, dont hate, but we cant save you). This is a form of acceptance but also a reference to THE DINER about trying to save the person, though now its acceptance instead of an attack / blame. "Too afraid to step outside" is in reference to the cage, the trap or stepping through the open door. Billie realize she also had fear and could have done more.
Finally, the final String motif playing the same melody as in SKINNY and THE GREATEST, this wraps the entire album sonically and thematically. It showcases the acceptance but the weight it still has and ultimately the impact this relationship had on her.
Im probably missing some stuff but this is what i took away from it. Love to hear any other thoughts or perspectives!

2024.05.20 07:58 Redeye1999 Kessler Syndrome’s Legacy (2155 - 2185)
 | "Toliman" has been my Hard Science fiction worldbuilding project for around 4 years now. Spanning from the modern day all the way to the 36th Century, I have attempted to produce the most scientifically accurate projection of what I imagine humanity's future will be like. From the colonisation of mars to Interstellar warfare, to the wiping out of entire planets and the discovery of alien life, I have attempted to make it as realistic and faithful to the real-world science, sociology and geopolitics as I could. If you like authors like Kim Stanley Robinson (Mars Trilogy), Alistair Reynolds (Revelation space series), and Cixin Liu (Three Body Problem), this is just the sort of thing that may interest you. Feel free to ask any questions or provide any comments - I am always looking to update this project to make it more complete/ realistic. Thanks! submitted by Redeye1999 to worldbuilding [link] [comments] In the year 2155, a century-old chip of paint from the discarded fuel tank of an Ariane 5 rocket, launched in 2003, collided with the small Blue Space GPS satellite Ormohago 5166-FZ in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). This seemingly insignificant collision set off a catastrophic chain reaction. Within a week, nearly all of Earth's low Earth orbit infrastructure was obliterated. Tourist stations, communication satellites, and every piece of space junk were shattered into thousands more pieces, hurtling around the planet at incredible speeds. This event marked the dreaded Kessler Syndrome, resulting in an impenetrable cloud of debris that took thousands of lives and ended Earth’s space age in a week known as "the week Earth ended” The Humanitarian Crisis The aftermath of the Kessler Syndrome was nothing short of apocalyptic. Although many lunar colonies had achieved self-sufficiency, the same could not be said for space stations in orbit around other planets or moons, or the colonies on Jupiter, Saturn, and the asteroid belt. Arcadia and HePing Zvezda Base (和平星基地) on Mars were among the few self-sufficient locations. The crisis sparked the worst humanitarian disaster of the century. Desperate colonists tried to flee to safer havens. Jovian and Saturnian settlers made perilous journeys to Luna, often arriving too late. Heart-wrenching scenes of colonists being denied entry to Martian bases, dying of oxygen deprivation outside the walls of Arcadia, became etched into collective memory. Some even attempted reentry to Earth, only to be shredded by the Kessler cloud, their deaths visible from the ground. Yushi Wu: A Symbol of Desperation Among the myriad tales of desperation, the story of Yushi Wu stands out. Yushi, a cosmonaut of the Sino-Russian Alliance (SRA), was one of 1,000 colonists at the HePing Zvezda base on Mars. Two months into the Kessler Syndrome, resource shortages led to breakdowns in hierarchy and eventual mutiny. Four months after the initial catastrophe, Yushi decided to abandon the base and trek 250 km to the larger Arcadia base, home to over 4,000 colonists. Clad in an old, out of date space suit and carrying as many oxygen tanks as he could, Yushi embarked on the arduous journey across the Martian landscape. Despite his careful planning, he ran out of oxygen as he neared Arcadia. Denied entry due to the colony's own rationing and shortages, Yushi began the treacherous walk back to HePing Zvezda. Tragically, he succumbed to oxygen deprivation just 20 km from Arcadia. His body was discovered 70 years later, a grim reminder of the era's desperation. The Path to Recovery By 2163, a fragile stability had been reached. Nearly half of all people in space had perished, but those who survived managed to adapt. Self-sustainability spread across Mars and Luna, with new colonies sprouting up, automatically self-sufficient. On Earth, feverish efforts to clear the Kessler cloud led to the development of new technologies, including laser arrays and space nets designed to decelerate and deorbit debris. A decade after the Kessler Syndrome began, Prof. Zara Treffer, who had witnessed the golden age of space travel, passed away at 157, seeing space as less accessible than when she was born. Yet, her legacy and that of many others lived on in the spirit of cooperation and resilience that grew among the spacers. This culture, focused on survival, self-sufficiency, and mutual aid, would shape the spacers' identity for centuries. Technological Innovations and Cultural Shifts The spacers developed their own technologies and, working with Earth-based teams, constructed laser arrays and nanofiber nets to systematically clear the debris. By 2185, the Kessler cloud had thinned enough for daring explorers to breach its boundary. Trian McGregor became the first Earther to successfully navigate the Kessler debris, symbolizing the end of a harrowing era. The post-Kessler period saw significant advancements, including the development of miniaturized fusion ships known as Candle ships. The drive to explore space re-emerged stronger than ever, leading to the Third Accelerando, a period of rapid space expansion. A New Era By the early 2200s, human space had largely recovered. Luna boasted a population of 200,000, with a network of colonies and infrastructure. Mars had over 10,000 colonists, with new tented cities and collaborative efforts between SRA and Western forces. Permanent colonies on Jupiter and Saturn began to flourish once more, and Venus welcomed its first cloud city, Atlas. The legacy of the Kessler Syndrome, though a period of immense suffering and loss, ultimately fostered a spirit of resilience, innovation, and cooperation. The lessons learned during this dark chapter paved the way for humanity's triumphant return to the stars. |

Reviews🔗Delicate and Vivacious: Chance Eau Fraiche Eau de Parfumhttps://preview.redd.it/tahcqetusi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd41e8674b448afa096b27159c188579e2f22112 I was initially skeptical about the Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche Eau de Parfum Spray, but after using it for a few weeks, I've become quite a fan. The fragrance is a perfect blend of citrusy freshness and floral sweetness, with a touch of woodiness that adds depth and warmth. It's a scent that's both invigorating and comforting, making it perfect for any occasion. One thing that really stood out to me was the longevity of the fragrance. Even after a long day, I could still catch a whiff of the lovely scent, which made me feel confident and put-together. Additionally, the packaging is elegant and sophisticated, just like the perfume itself. The one downside that I noticed was the price. While the quality of the product is undeniable, it's definitely on the pricier side. However, I believe it's worth the investment if you're looking for a high-quality, luxurious fragrance that will last all day. Overall, I would highly recommend the Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche Eau de Parfum Spray to anyone looking for a fresh, floral, and sensual scent. While it may not be for everyone, it's definitely worth a try! 🔗Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette 1.2 oz: Refreshing Floral Fragrance for Womenhttps://preview.redd.it/vxxizecvsi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f13208f3e39f86b3bfbb33cbc87375ba71c516b Well, where do I begin? I've been using the Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette for some time now and it's safe to say it has become a staple in my daily routine. The first time I spritzed this on, I was instantly drawn to its refreshing floral bouquet. The mix of citrus notes with a hint of vanilla and white musk creates a lovely aroma that's both energetic and soothing at the same time. I can't help but feel refreshed every time I use it, like I'm starting my day on a positive note. One of my favorite features about this perfume is its versatility. It's not too overpowering but also doesn't disappear after just a few hours. I find myself getting compliments on how I smell whenever I wear this, which always brings a smile to my face. The elegance of the bottle also adds to its appeal, making it a perfect gift for someone special. However, there are a couple of things that could be improved upon. On some occasions, I've noticed that the scent can become a bit heavier and might not appeal to everyone's preference. Additionally, some users have found the price to be on the higher side, which might discourage others from giving it a try. All in all, if you're looking for a timeless and elegant fragrance, I would highly recommend giving the Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette a shot. It has certainly lived up to its reputation in my experience, and I believe it would make anyone's day feel just a little bit brighter. 🔗CHanel Chance Eau Tendre Travel Sethttps://preview.redd.it/8pi3k7kvsi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0f5c9a7a3c0b16bd82d5af39f14c53af43d2ba9 I was excited to give CHANEL's Chance Eau Tendre eau de toilette a try after hearing good things about it. The first thing that impressed me was the packaging. It came in a beautiful box that perfectly encapsulated the elegance I associated with the brand. The scent itself is a delightful mix of fresh and fruity notes. It's mostly dominated by grapefruit and quince, with hints of jasmine and white musk in the background. I found it to be very pleasant – light enough for daily use but also unique enough to stand out from other fragrances I've tried. One feature that stood out to me was the twist-and-spray atomizer. It made applying the perfume super easy and convenient, especially when I was on the go. However, I did wish the scent lingered a bit longer. On some days, I felt I had to reapply after 3-4 hours because it wore off. Despite this minor issue, I absolutely loved this product. The combination of its fresh scent and ease of application made it a must-have in my beauty routine. Plus, the twist-and-spray atomizer ensured that I could take it anywhere without worrying about spills or leaks. In conclusion, whether you're buying it for yourself or as a gift, CHANEL's Chance Eau Tendre eau de toilette is definitely worth considering. Its radiant scent and user-friendly design make it stand out from other perfumes on the market. 🔗Chanel Chance Hair Perfume Mist, Exquisite EDP for Hairhttps://preview.redd.it/0h9crq0wsi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14ea47a0d9b3b0b29976b2f7a5ffdd87d28cc302 I recently incorporated Chanel's Chance Parfum Hair Mist into my daily routine, and I'm absolutely smitten with it. The delicate scent of jasmine, pink pepper, patchouli, and vanilla creates an intoxicating aroma that perfectly complements my natural fragrance. Its long-lasting power means I don't have to constantly reapply throughout the day, making sure I always feel fresh and confident. Plus, it's incredibly easy to use - just a few spritzes onto my hair and I'm good to go! However, there are a couple of minor downsides worth mentioning. Firstly, the price point may be slightly high for some people, especially considering it's only available in a 35ml bottle. Additionally, the potency of the scent might be too strong for those who prefer a more subtle fragrance. Overall, Chanel's Chance Parfum Hair Mist has quickly become a staple in my beauty routine. Its luxurious scent and convenient packaging make it perfect for both casual daytime use and special occasions. I highly recommend giving this hair mist a try if you're looking to elevate your daily beauty regimen with a touch of Chanel elegance. 🔗Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Hair Mist - 35ml - Floral-Fruity Scent for Womenhttps://preview.redd.it/lv2060ewsi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77775677b88d6f9c276968d63776e364682ea573 I recently tried Chanel's Chance Eau Tendre Hair Mist, and I must say I'm quite impressed! This little bottle packs a big punch when it comes to scent. Infused with notes of grapefruit and jasmine, the aroma it leaves on my hair is simply intoxicating. The hair mist's spray dispenser makes application super easy and mess-free. One thing that really stood out for me was the long-lasting fragrance. Even after a day spent out in the sun, my hair still retains that delicate floral-fruity scent that everyone seems to love. It's definitely a nice change from the harsh, alcohol-based perfumes that can often dry out my locks. However, I will mention that if you're looking for a heavy, powerful scent, this might not be the product for you. The scent strength here is quite light and subtle - perfect for those who prefer a more understated aroma. In conclusion, if you're in search of a delightful hair mist that will leave your tresses smelling fresh and lovely all day long, look no further than Chanel Chance Eau Tendre! Just remember to shake the bottle before using as some separation may occur due to the lack of alcohol in the formula. 🔗Chanel Chance Tendre Eau De Toilette Sprayhttps://preview.redd.it/xncgxsswsi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e28fac39ca17548d3a33db97790d8548068a6a9 As a long-time fan of Chanel's exquisite fragrances, I was thrilled to discover their latest offering, the Chance Eau Tendre Eau De Toilette Spray. This delightful scent has quickly become my go-to for those days when I need a little extra boost of confidence. From the moment I first spritzed it on, I was captivated by the harmonious blend of fruity and floral notes that dance on the skin. The initial burst of citrus is perfectly balanced by the subtle hints of jasmine and rose, creating a fresh and vibrant bouquet that lingers throughout the day. It's no wonder this is Chanel's bestselling fragrance family - it truly embodies elegance and sophistication. One of my favorite aspects of this perfume is its impressive longevity. Even on days when I'm constantly on the go, the scent remains with me, enveloping me in its captivating aura. Whether I'm attending a sophisticated event or simply embracing the everyday moments of life, Chance Eau Tendre complements my presence with an understated elegance that leaves a lasting impression. However, no product is perfect, and there are a few minor drawbacks to this otherwise exceptional fragrance. Some users may find the scent strength to be slightly too light, particularly in comparison to other Chanel perfumes. Additionally, due to its delicate nature, it may not be the most versatile choice for those who prefer a bold and intense aroma. In conclusion, if you're seeking a fragrance that exudes femininity and charm, look no further than Chanel's Chance Eau Tendre Eau De Toilette Spray. Its enchanting blend of fruity and floral notes, coupled with its impressive longevity, make it a timeless classic that is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who encounter it. 🔗Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Parfum Set for Classic Everyday Scentshttps://preview.redd.it/kne00q9xsi1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48eda2b831e0347ee0f2dca9ceab12467cf46c1b Chance Chanel is my go-to perfume for any occasion. From the moment I spritzed it on, I was transported to a world of elegance and sophistication. The delicate floral scent, with its hints of jasmine and rose, is simply divine. What's even better is that this perfume has great longevity, lasting all day without being overpowering. Not only do I get countless compliments when I wear it, but it also makes me feel confident and radiant. The packaging is nothing short of stunning – a sleek glass bottle adorned with the iconic double-C logo, a true symbol of timeless beauty and elegance. If you're looking for a perfume that embodies femininity with a touch of Chanel's signature sophistication, Chance Chanel Eau Tendre is definitely worth a try. " Its standout feature is the beautiful blend of floral and fruity notes, which creates a scent that is both fresh and romantic. The top notes of grapefruit and quince are zesty and uplifting, while the heart of the fragrance is dominated by delicate jasmine and hyacinth. The base notes add a warm and comforting touch with their hints of musk, amber, and cedarwood. The packaging is equally impressive – a simple yet elegant design with the iconic Chanel logo. However, I must admit that I had a slightly disappointing experience with one particular purchase of this perfume. The scent of the new bottle was nothing like the product I had been using for years, which was a real let-down. Fortunately, the customer service team at Sephora were quick to replace the faulty bottle, but it's something to be aware of if you decide to purchase this perfume. Overall, though, Chance Chanel Eau Tendre is a beautiful fragrance that is perfect for anyone who loves a soft and romantic scent. Its longevity is impressive, and the packaging is classic and timeless.

As someone who's always on the go, the round, travel-friendly bottle instantly caught my eye - it's perfect for tossing into my bag to refresh my scent throughout the day. First, I dove into the CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Toilette, which features a lovely, fruity scent. It's like having a beautiful garden of soft, tender floral notes wrapped around me, making me feel fresh and revitalized. The green and fruity grapefruit-quince accord adds a unique twist that I absolutely adore. This scent was my favorite of the two, as it was perfect for the warm summer days I was experiencing while traveling. However, when I transitioned to the CHANCE EAU FRAîCHE Eau de Toilette, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed. While it was pleasant and refreshing with its zesty freshness of citron combined with jasmine and teak-wood notes, it didn't have the same allure or captivating quality as the Tendre version. One issue I encountered with this set was the price point. For $180, I expected more value, and it would be nice to receive a discount for purchasing both scents together. But honestly, the Eau Tendre fragrance alone made the purchase worthwhile for me. Overall, the Chance Eau Tendre is my go-to choice for a light, fruit-infused, floral scent that adds a touch of elegance to any day.

The first thing that impressed me was the packaging. It came in a beautiful box that perfectly encapsulated the elegance I associated with the brand. The scent itself is a delightful mix of fresh and fruity notes. It's mostly dominated by grapefruit and quince, with hints of jasmine and white musk in the background. I found it to be very pleasant – light enough for daily use but also unique enough to stand out from other fragrances I've tried. One feature that stood out to me was the twist-and-spray atomizer. It made applying the perfume super easy and convenient, especially when I was on the go. However, I did wish the scent lingered a bit longer. On some days, I felt I had to reapply after 3-4 hours because it wore off. Despite this minor issue, I absolutely loved this product. The combination of its fresh scent and ease of application made it a must-have in my beauty routine. Plus, the twist-and-spray atomizer ensured that I could take it anywhere without worrying about spills or leaks. In conclusion, whether you're buying it for yourself or as a gift, CHANEL's Chance Eau Tendre eau de toilette is definitely worth considering. Its radiant scent and user-friendly design make it stand out from other perfumes on the market. 🔗Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Parfum Set for Classic Everyday Scentshttps://preview.redd.it/n3z7lz20si1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9dbc93018ac60895dc7dc530fcb98598145350c3 Chance Chanel is my go-to perfume for any occasion.

Upon opening it, I was instantly transported back to the era of classic perfumes. This fragrance is unlike any modern interpretation of No. 19 that I've come across in recent years. The top notes are dominated by aldehydes, bergamot, galbanum, neroli, and hyacinth, giving it an uplifting and fresh scent. The heart notes reveal a harmonious blend of jasmine, rose de mai, lily of the valley, orris, and Nossi-Be ylang ylang, which adds a beautiful floral touch. What sets this apart is the base notes: oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, leather, and musk. They create a rich, warm, and sensual aroma that lasts on your skin for hours. This old-school formula is practically impossible to find today, as it has been replaced by lighter and more commercially acceptable versions of No. 19. The bottle itself is a visual treat, with its hand-sealed wax seal and near mint condition box. Although this particular bottle is no longer sealed due to an unfortunate shattering of the wax seal, the fragrance within remains as potent as ever. One downside is the mottled stickers on the inner box and bottle. This age-related discoloration is common in many 1970s perfumes, but it might not appeal to everyone's taste. However, this small flaw does not affect the quality or potency of the fragrance itself. In summary, the Vintage Chanel No. 19 Parfum evokes a sense of nostalgia and glamour with its complex, rich, and timeless scent. While the packaging may show some signs of age, the enchanting aroma that envelops you upon application more than compensates for it. 🔗Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Twist and Spray Sethttps://preview.redd.it/6o6ydnu0si1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45d4c89e540481c9c20a601512386c3a9880b553 My experience with the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Twist and Spray Set has been quite pleasant. The elegant and chic design of the bottle, along with the twist and spray atomizer, makes it convenient and sophisticated enough to carry around in my purse. The scent is not overpowering, but it's noticeable and lasts throughout the day. It's the perfect combination of sweet floral notes and deep earthy undertones. I find myself getting compliments from others whenever I wear it, which is always a nice bonus. One of the highlights of this set is the refillable twist-and-spray atomizer. Not only does it save on packaging and reduce waste, but it also allows me to take my favorite fragrance with me wherever I go. However, there have been a few instances where the scent didn't last as long as I'd hoped. It seems to vary depending on the weather, with the fragrance not lasting as long in hot or humid conditions. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality, long-lasting, and versatile fragrance. The twist and spray atomizer adds an extra level of convenience and portability, making it perfect for travel or on-the-go application. 🔗Coco Mademoiselle Intense: A Captivating Fragrance for Womenhttps://preview.redd.it/0akby071si1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c16df6684900a361b936a4a45f78c09042d172d I recently stumbled upon the Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense by Chanel and added it to my daily routine. From the moment I spritzed it on, I knew it was something special. Featuring top notes of bergamot and mandarin orange, it offers an invigorating aroma right off the bat. The middle notes of jasmine and Turkish rose give it a pleasant fragrance that lingers throughout the day, while the base notes of vanilla and patchouli add a sense of depth and elegance. One thing I truly appreciate about this EDP is its longevity. With just a few sprays, the fragrance lasts for hours, gradually releasing its alluring scent. I remember attending a formal event where I received multiple compliments on how captivating my scent was - and it was all thanks to the Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense! Another highlight is the packaging. The sleek bottle design, with its timeless black label, perfectly captures the essence of the Coco Chanel brand. It's a beautiful addition to any perfume collection or a perfect gift for that special someone in your life. However, I must note that fragrances are subjective. Some might not find this scent to their liking due to its unique blend of notes. My advice? Test it out on your skin or try a sample first before making a purchase. In conclusion, the Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense by Chanel has become a staple in my daily routine, providing me with an invigorating aroma and a timeless sense of elegance. It's definitely worth a try if you're looking for an exquisite scent that stands the test of time. 🔗Ladies' Chanel No. 19 Eau de Toilette 100mlhttps://preview.redd.it/qjhepjq1si1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6ca651c92de6ec376f8b9fa420496edcfa29369 As I dabbed on a few spritzes of this captivating scent, I couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of confidence and allure. The Chanel EDT No 19 is definitely a daring, distinctive fragrance that leaves a lasting impression. The floral-woody-green notes strike the perfect balance, making it an uncompromising composition, much like its wearer. One aspect that I absolutely loved was the easy and fluent application. The eau de toilette in a spray format made it so convenient to lightly mist on my skin or even inside my clothing. Plus, the bath and body product range added an extra layer of enchantment to my daily perfuming ritual. However, on the downside, some users might find the scent a bit strong for everyday use. It's more suitable for those who prefer bold, statement-making fragrances. Overall, the Chanel EDT No 19 is a powerful, captivating perfume that's perfect for those who aren't afraid to turn heads with their scent. 🔗Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum Spray for Menhttps://preview.redd.it/5hjp7ly1si1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f544d2b10d5843f661716e6d040eabac62b1de53 Bleu de Chanel by Chanel is a bold and alluring scent that captures the essence of adventure and sophistication. I had the pleasure of trying out this Eau de Parfum Spray, and it quickly became a staple in my daily routine. As soon as I spritzed it on, I was transported to a world of fresh citrus and warm spices. The grapefruit note adds a refreshing zing, while the ginger and incense give it a mysterious depth. One thing that stood out to me was the superb longevity of this fragrance. Even after a long day at work, the scent lingered on my skin, leaving me feeling confident and stylish. Additionally, the sleek and elegant design of the bottle made it a welcome addition to my vanity. However, there are a couple of downsides worth mentioning. Firstly, the price point may be a bit steep for some consumers, but I believe the quality and performance of the product justify the cost. Secondly, while the fragrance is not overwhelmingly powerful, it does have a certain presence that may not be suitable for all occasions. In conclusion, Bleu de Chanel by Chanel is a phenomenal Eau de Parfum Spray that truly deserves its high rating. Its unique blend of citrus, spice, and woody notes creates a captivating and timeless scent that is perfect for any season. If you're in search of a luxurious, long-lasting fragrance that turns heads and leaves a lasting impression, look no further than Bleu de Chanel. 🔗Coco Mademoiselle Parfum Spray Trio Sethttps://preview.redd.it/6oumz3e2si1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1015cafb29e06f456ca6d376265179123267885d Alright, let me tell you about this beautiful Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Twist and Spray 3 x 0.7 oz.

Then, as the day progresses, it'll turn into a lovely combination of jasmine blossom and rose. The best part? The deep, earthy notes of patchouli that keep you smelling fresh and confident throughout the day. However, like any product, there are some cons to consider. It's a bit on the pricey side, but hey, it's Chanel! If you're not used to strong scents, this might not be your cup of tea. And remember, a little goes a long way, so don't overdo it. But overall, I absolutely adore this product. The packaging is luxurious and elegant, and it's perfect for travel. It's definitely worth the investment, and anyone who tries it will fall in love with it, just like I did.

2024.05.20 07:07 tab_rick Top 10 Best Bathroom Sinks in 2023
 | Navigating the myriad options for bathroom sinks and finding the best bathroom vanities with ample storage space can be an intricate endeavor. We are committed to simplifying this process for you. Join us as we explore the top 10 bathroom sinks of 2023, shedding light on their distinguishing features, exceptional advantages, and market-leading attributes. Together, let’s identify the sink that flawlessly marries elegance and utility for your living environment. submitted by tab_rick to KKRsolidsurface [link] [comments] What is the Best Bathroom Sink?The ideal bathroom sink is a complex interplay of personal taste, spatial limitations, and design objectives. However, there are universally recognized qualities that contribute to a superior bathroom sink.Ease of MaintenanceEffective household management necessitates reducing the time allocated for bathroom sink maintenance. Premium sinks are designed for low maintenance, featuring stain-resistant properties and ease of cleaning. Materials like solid surfaces are advantageous due to their smooth surfaces that effectively repel common bathroom stains.Diversity in Sizes and StylesA one-size-fits-all approach is impractical when it comes to bathroom sinks. Your choice will be influenced by spatial considerations and aesthetic preferences. Below are some standard sink dimensions:
Drop-in SinksCommonly known as top-mounted sinks, drop-in sinks are favored for their straightforward installation process. These sinks are inserted into a pre-cut hole in the countertop, with the rim sitting above it. This configuration offers a contemporary look and serves as a practical solution for settings that prioritize both aesthetics and utility.Undermount SinksUndermount sinks are affixed beneath the countertop, delivering a streamlined and modern appearance. Preferred for minimalist settings, the lack of a rim simplifies cleaning and eliminates the possibility of debris accumulation.Above-counter SinksAlso referred to as vessel sinks, above-counter sinks are positioned entirely atop the countertop, serving as a striking design element. Available in a variety of materials like solid surface, ceramic, or copper, these sinks offer businesses an opportunity to make a visual impact.Cabinet SinksCombining storage and sink into a unified structure, cabinet sinks are perfect for those requiring additional storage for toiletries and other essentials. These sinks often come with soft-close drawers and are crafted from diverse materials such as hardwood, engineered wood, teak, and plywood, delivering both functionality and style.Freestanding SinksFreestanding sinks, including freestanding vanities, stand independently, not requiring a countertop or vanity for support. These sinks are particularly well-suited for spacious environments aiming for a refined aesthetic. Made from high-quality materials like solid surface or porcelain, are both durable and low-maintenance. Their design flexibility allows them to serve as eye-catching focal points when complemented with stylish faucets.Wall-hung SinksWall-hung sinks, sometimes referred to as wall-mounted sinks, are designed to maximize floor space in compact bathrooms or powder rooms. They are directly mounted to the wall, often featuring built-in faucet holes and a small ledge for storing toiletries. Crafted from robust materials like solid surface or stainless steel, wall-mount sinks ensure lasting performance.Multifunction DesignThe quintessential bathroom sink should surpass mere washing capabilities. It should epitomize a fusion of convenience and advanced utility, taking into consideration the available space in the bathroom. Features such as integrated storage solutions and adaptable faucet hole configurations are essential to cater to a broad spectrum of plumbing prerequisites. The strategic inclusion of overflow drains is indispensable to counteract potential water spillage. During the selection phase, it’s paramount to juxtapose these functional nuances with sophisticated aesthetics. Facets like soft-close drawers and innovative shelving solutions augment the sink’s multifaceted utility. It’s also vital to appraise the spatial dynamics of the bathroom to ensure an impeccable integration.Superior MaterialsThe material pedigree of a bathroom sink is instrumental in ascertaining its enduring appeal and resilience. Options span from the perennial sophistication of porcelain to the stalwart resilience of stainless steel and copper. It becomes imperative to select a sink that is impervious to stains, adept at handling thermal variances from hot water, and exhibits unwavering durability over extended periods. Whether one’s inclination is towards a cutting-edge solid surface sink or a vintage wooden basin, the chosen piece should resonate with both utilitarian needs and refined aesthetic inclinations. Such a choice guarantees a harmonious amalgamation with the overarching bathroom decor while ensuring a lot of storage for quintessential items at an affordable price point.Solid Surface Bathroom SinksDive into the realm of solid surface bathroom sinks, a pinnacle of modern bathroom design. These sinks are meticulously crafted from a unique blend of high-grade resins and aluminum hydroxide powder. This combination results in a pristine, pore-free surface that marries aesthetic charm with functional utility. Notably, the use of premium isophthalic resin ensures the sink remains resistant to yellowing over its lifespan. https://preview.redd.it/bktr3n3k8i1d1.png?width=612&format=png&auto=webp&s=f00b0b1947f3c693f0337c64f69cb79e8d405370 Key Features of Solid Surface Bathroom Sinks

Since my divorce and subsequent banishment to the desert I've been invoking azzazel looking for guidance. After weeks of meditation and prayer i had a lucid dream. I was in a green glade that surrounded a beautiful lake. A man appeared and told me it was a sacred place. That an ancient God rested there. He told me he was going to show me how to invoke it. He turned on a water spiket and the water ran down to the lake. Then a huge tube of water rose up. Suddenly I realized that it wasn't a tube, it was a neck, and the scales reflected the water. I don't know how but I knew it had 4 large fins on its body. It turned its head to me and came down to my level. It had a sort of natural armor plate on its face. I felt very calm, I knew it was gentle but could be wrathful if provoked. The man took me to a room, it looked like a classroom. Hanging on the wall next to the door was a cross with 2 horizontal bars instead of 1 and a sideways figure 8 at the bottom. The man said it was the God's symbol. I remember pulling it off the wall and hugging it tightly. He told me the God's name but I can't remember. I searched for the symbol online and found a match that appears to be associated with leviathan. What does this mean and how do I proceed?

2024.05.20 06:46 red123409 Hot take: Voting in a primarily Red or Blue state is useless and illogical, doubly so in our two party system
Like the title says. Unless you live in a purple / swing state you’re better off not wasting your time on a merely symbolic act. I believe it’s illogical for an individual to believe they really have a say in governmental policy in certain states. Doubly so if they are a part of the opposition party in that state.
Let me break this down:
If I vote for the majority party you are simply casting a vote for a pre-determined result.
If I vote for the opposition it’s equally pointless as they have no shot of winning my state.
(Ex: I live in a deeply blue northeastern state. It’s going for Biden regardless if I show up to the polls. Same when it comes to the local races. I can hem, haw, canvass, vote, as much as I want till I’m blue in the face. Ain’t going to change the end result. Political tribalism is at a all time high. I like to joke that you can put Hitler (D) or Stalin (D) in my state and they would get elected on the virtue of belonging to the Democratic Party. I’m sure this is the same vice versa in Alabama)
Even in local races a lot of these elections aren’t even close to being contests, with candidates winning a large majority (upwards of 60-70% of the vote). There are very blue and very red states where the general assemblies are essentially rubber stamps for whatever the majority party wants to do.
I believe this is a negative result of our current two party system and winner takes all method. Which is why I will most likely be staying home this November. (As I did in 2020, albeit cause I didn’t have the physical ability to get to a poll or get an absentee ballot then)
But willing to hear your thoughts on why I should even bother with showing up to the polls other than a psychological feeling of actually participating in a democracy.

2024.05.20 06:38 ep1grams Coming out, Karma, big cats, Robin...
 | Hello friends. I have only been a gaylor for a fortnight (not a joke, just a fact) so please forgive me if I have misunderstood something or am covering well-tread ground without realising it. I have done a lot of reading and find all this absolutely capitivating. If anything below is even partially right, it is because I stand on the shoulders of the amazing gaylors before me. submitted by ep1grams to GaylorSwift [link] [comments] Look What You Made Me Do Let's start with the Look What You Made Me Do music video (which makes so much more sense when viewed through the lens of you made me shelve the "too-queer" Karma album and take on this line of beards). When Taylor starts singing "Look what you made me do" for the first time, she crashes a car with a big cat inside it. She is also wearing a coat with a big cat pattern. There has been talk of this car crash being Karlie. Car = KARlie. Although that may be an extra layer, I believe that the predominant message here is that the car is Karma. Car = KARma. She crashes the car (shelves Karma) and then poses artificially for the press (for success, to protect her reputation). (I know the album was about her "bad reputation", but in light of shelving Karma, it was also about maintaining her reputation as a straight person.) Later, Taylor walks away from the crashed car (which is now in flames) with the big cat on a leash (chain?). Big cats have been discussed as being symbolic of Taylor's wild, queer self, which I agree with. Karma the car (with the big cat in the backseat - Taylor's queerness) was crashed, but Taylor and the big cat walk away from the crash - she is still queer, even if that queerness is on a leash / contained. Fortnight Several years later, in Fortnight, Taylor sings about going to Florida and buying the car she wants (i.e. releasing Karma). It won't start up until you "touch me" (i.e. until ME! Out now! ... meaning Karma will be released once / at the same as she comes out). And until she "touch[es] you", which is widely regarded as her queemasculine self as represented in the Fortnight music video. Karma/Mother There has been mention of Taylor's new, queer, reincarnation-of-Karma album being called "Mother" instead. We would expect this incarnation of the album to be a bit different to the original, given that time has passed and that some of the original Karma tracks are likely to have come out on Reputation or other released albums. So... If she crashed the caKar during Reputation era, what is left? The ma. "Ma" as in another word for "Mother". More Big Cats & Robin Speaking of releasing... As well as releasing music/albums, etc, you know what else can be released? Big cats. Circus animals. Tigers in cages. I wouldn't be surprised if Karma the album had a bunch of big cat imagery. It also reminds me of this poem: The tiger is OUT, huh? Tortured Poets Department has a bunch of wild animal imagery, but I specifically want to talk about the song "Robin" and its tiger. It makes perfect sense to me that this is not a song about a small child being protected, but instead about a young Taylor being "protected" from the "cruel and the mean" via "the secret we all vowed to keep" "in sweetness." i.e. Eventually "the time will arrive" for Taylor to come out, but not yet - for her own good, and in the meantime we need "all this showmanship". On the surface it sounds like a sweet song, but to me Taylor sounds vaguely sad and resentful. "Way to go tiger / Higher and higher" is Taylor being pushed more and more before she's allowed to come out. The goal posts keep moving. Taylor keeps working and working, keeps expecting to be able to come out, but it hasn't happened yet ("I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser"). The tiger in its cage does its best to perform to these rising "strings tied to levers", but it's still not set free. As an aside, the vibe of this song really reminds me of "It's Nice to Have a Friend." At first glance they're sweet songs but with bitter undercurrents. It doesn't surprise me at all that "It's Nice to Have a Friend" was used on a horror music soundtrack. It reminds me of the stress of having a "friend" when you're queer, like being introduced to your girlfriend's grandmother as "so-and-so's friend". Meet Me at Midnight I was listening to Anti-Hero the other day and something went "ping!" in my brain when hearing "Midnights become my afternoons." As well as the literal meaning of someone staying up late, this sounds to me as if this references Taylor's 'meet me at midnight, that's when my authentic self will come out' being delayed. Like the clock was almost to midnight and then someone took it off the wall, spun it 180 degrees, and then put it back on the wall like that. Like I was about to come out but now suddenly it's 6pm again, I have to wait and wait. This also makes me think of Taylor's clear Cinderella reference in Bejewelled. You know what happens to Cinderella at midnight? She turns back from princess-like (Taylor Swift TM) into a more 'ordinary' human being (authentic self). But in Taylor's version (small v) at midnight she also ghosts the prince (stops bearding) and keeps the castle (keeps her fame/money/success/legacy). I can't wait until the 12th/midnight album comes out / gets released / gets its teeth back! |

2024.05.20 04:42 Hotpot-creations Short story - Horror: The Shadow in the Mirror
 | Image by Hotpot.ai submitted by Hotpot-creations to HotpotAI [link] [comments] The Shadow in the Mirror Story and image by Hotpot AI Dale Balford's heart raced as he stared into the mirror, his reflection staring back at him with a sinister grin. He blinked, and the reflection blinked too. He moved his hand, and the reflection moved in perfect synchronization. But then, something changed. The reflection's smile turned into a sneer, and it moved away from his movements, as if it had a mind of its own. At first, Dale dismissed it as a trick of the light or his imagination playing tricks on him. But as the days went by, the reflection in the mirror became more and more independent, doing things that Dale didn't do. It would wave at him when he didn't wave, or make faces at him. It was like a dark shadow, lurking in the mirror, waiting to pounce. Dale's unease turned into fear as the figure in the mirror became more malevolent. It would mock him, whispering cruel words that only he could hear. It would mimic his every move, but with a twisted and sinister twist. Dale couldn't escape it, no matter how hard he tried. It was always there, lurking in the mirror, waiting for him. He was afraid to use the mirror, but was also constantly compelled to, because what was happening was so weird and impossible. As the days turned into weeks, Dale's life became consumed by the dark figure in the mirror. He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't focus on anything else. He was constantly on edge, waiting for the figure to make its next move. He knew he had to do something, but he didn't know what. He couldn't even bring himself to tell anyone about it, for fear of being labeled as crazy. But then, one night, the figure in the mirror did something that sent chills down Dale's spine. It stepped out of the mirror and into the room. Dale could feel its cold breath on his neck as it whispered in his ear, "I am free now, and I will never leave you." Dale's mind raced as he tried to figure out what was happening. How could a reflection come to life? Was he losing his mind? But then, he remembered something from his childhood. A story his grandmother used to tell him about a dark entity that could possess mirrors and torment its victims. Could it be true? Was this figure in the mirror that very entity? Determined to find answers, Dale began intense research, scouring books and the internet for any information on the dark entity. He discovered that it was indeed real, and it was known as a "mirror demon." According to the legends, the only way to banish it was to find its origin and destroy it. Armed with this knowledge, Dale searched his house for any clues. He found an old, dusty mirror in the attic, covered in strange symbols and markings. He knew this was it. This was the source of the mirror demon. With trembling hands, he smashed the mirror, hoping it would banish the entity for good. But instead, the figure in the mirror only grew stronger. It laughed at Dale's feeble attempt to banish it and began to torment him even more. Dale was at his wit's end. He didn't know what else to do. He was trapped in a never-ending nightmare, with no escape in sight. But then, a glimmer of hope appeared. In his research, Dale had come across occult information a ritual that could banish the mirror demon once and for all. It was a dangerous and risky ritual, but Dale was desperate. He gathered all the necessary items described in the information: the main mirror and the more suspect mirror, a Holy Bible, three feathers, the bones of a bird, and the blood of a lizard (this was not easy or pleasant to obtain). On the next full moon, Dale stood in front of his mirror, trembling with fear and determination. He had been haunted by the demon that lived within it for far too long, and he knew it was time to take matters into his own hands. With the mirror from the attic in one hand and a Holy Bible in the other, he began the ritual that he had researched and prepared for weeks. He placed three feathers on the ground, representing the trinity of good, and then carefully arranged the bones of a bird, symbolizing the demon's weakness. Finally, he took the blood of a lizard and poured it over the mirror, chanting the ancient words of banishment that he didn't really understand. As the ritual reached its climax, the mirror began to shake violently, and the man could feel the demon's presence growing weaker. With one final cry, he smashed the hand mirror against the cursed one, shattering it and breaking the demon's hold on his life. The room fell silent, and the man could finally breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that he had successfully exorcised the demon from his mirror. As soon as he finished the ritual, the room was filled with a blinding light, and the mirror demon let out a blood-curdling scream. And just like that, it was gone. Dale collapsed to the ground, exhausted but relieved. He had finally banished the entity that had been tormenting him for so long. But Dale couldn't shake off the feeling that it wasn't over. He knew that the mirror demon could always find a way back, and he had to be vigilant. From that day on, he made sure to never have any mirrors in his house, for fear of the entity's return. |

Part 6: [F4M] Mafia Dog - Part 6 of 7 [Confronting Your Yandere] [Sneaking Into The Mission] [Supporting Mom] :
Note: Just realized yesterday that the tags on every chapter should be [FF4M] instead of [F4M] which some are. Sorry about that.
Note to those of you who have been reading and enjoying this series: Thank you. I hope the finale meets your expectations. I said before that this was a post-horror-yandere story. If anyone feels like writing a backstory with Francine and Puppy before he was Puppy, go right ahead. I don't do horror.
Note for future stuff: At present (5/19/24) I'm adding nearly my entire library to Reddit 1 piece at a time with some exceptions. Most notably, Crazy Cat is doing a masterful job with Mayna in "Amazon's Surprise" and she's only posted parts 1-3 so far. I will only release parts 4-7 as she does them. 3 VAs have currently done the 1st part of "The Captive Yandere" and at least 2 are considering whether or not to do more, so I'm holding of on releasing parts 2-6. And Xarty was incredibly endearing as Kaylix in "The Weakest Orc - A Love Story" part 1. I'm holding off releasing parts 2-7 until she does them or decides she won't do any more. But if there are VAs interested in performing those series, contact me and I'll send you the full scripts so you can decide if you want to do them before they're released publicly.
Now for Part 7. (Bet you didn't know this movie would come with trailers.) :)
(With humor.) …because now that Puppy has married Jane, every one of us here knows that he’s never going to get a word in again.
(Sound of mild laughter of people at the party.)
Jane, you’ve been my courage, my fire, and my wisdom for so long now, I’ve forgotten what it was like without you here. Your spark has kept me going through many trying times. I’ve been able to count on your unwavering patience and your perseverance since the moment you joined our group. You have been by my side through thick and thin and you will be missed.
Puppy, in the nearly two years since we rescued you, you have been my heart and my conscience. I’m proud, very proud that you consider me as your mother, because I most definitely think of you as my son. You have also been by my side through thick and thin and you will also be missed.
Jane and Puppy, my left hand and my right, as you leave us to begin your own journey, at least temporarily, may God watch over you both, and may everyone you meet bring you as much joy as you have brought to all of us. Kent, Mike, Ronnie, and everyone present, please lift your glasses with me as we toast, to Puppy and Jane.
(Pause while they drink, then sounds of minor applause.)
Jane: (Hugs Carissa.) Thank you, mom. We’ll miss you guys.
(Brief pause, then playfully.) Puppy, you can hug Mom in a second. Let me get mine in.
Carissa: You see, Puppy. It’s started. There’s still time. Save yourself. Run.
Jane: (Laughs, then with mock irritation.) Carissa!
Carissa: Nope. I’m still Puppy’s Mom and I’ve got to do what’s best for him.
(Both laugh.)
Carissa: Seriously, you guys, be well. I know you want to show Puppy so many things that he missed growing up the way he did, but… well, just… be safe. Ok?
Jane: Oh, Mom, we’ll be fine. Stop worrying. Puppy’s going to love it.
Carissa: I know. I know. But… (Sighs.) I love both of you so much. Go have fun. See the world. Hurry. Run now before I hug you both and refuse to let go. We’ll be here when you get back.
Jane: We love you too, Mom. Thank you. You’ve been…
Carissa: (Interrupting.) No. Seriously. Go now. Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Jane: (Laughs.) All right. We’re going. Come on, Puppy. You heard her.
(Runs off. Car door opens and closes. Car sounds as they drive away.)
Well, Puppy. How does it feel?
(Pause.)
To be married? You’re not just Puppy now. You’re MY Puppy.
(Pause.)
(Laughs/Giggles.) Yes, you’ve been my Puppy for a while, but now it’s official. Or legal, anyway.
(Pause.)
Nope. I don’t care. You’re mine. The wedding and the reception are over. I don’t have to share you with another soul for the rest of our lives. (Giggles.)
(Pause.)
Ok, we’ll see them again. I’m not taking you away for good. But you’ll still always be mine no matter what anybody else says about it. (Giggles.)
(Pause.)
Yes, it’s definitely nicer that we can be open about it. We’re so used to living in the shadows, you and me. Being out in public like a regular couple… that’s nice.
(Pause)
(Giggle.) Yes, there are definitely some things we’re not going to do out in the open. Speaking of which, there’s our stop.
(Pause)
Yep. That little house by the ocean. I rented it out just for us.
(Pause. Car comes to a stop and car door opens and closes.)
Nope. I already put all of our luggage in there before the wedding. Now, all that’s left to do is for you to carry me across the threshold. Unless, of course, you want me to carry you. We’re not exactly the most traditional couple after all and…
(Jane is interrupted by Puppy picking her up.)
(Squeals as she’s picked up and laughs. Kiss.) Oh, Puppy. Does this all feel as magical and as much like a fairy tale to you as it does to me? I can’t believe I get to call myself your wife. I love you, Puppy.
(Pause. Front door opens and closes.)
Oh no. You don’t get to set me down yet. Not until we’ve reached the bedroom. (Giggles.) I’ve got a surprise for you.
(Pause.)
(Laughs.) No, that’s not it. That’s no surprise, silly. You already knew I was going to give you that. (Giggles.) No, I’ve got something else for you.
(Pause while they reach the bedroom.)
Here we are. Now, lay me down and then lay down beside me.
(Pause.)
I love you so much, Puppy.
(Pause.)
I know you love me too. And I’m not just saying that because it’s the proper response. I want you to really, truly know that I know you love me. I meant everything I said in my wedding vows. My heart and my soul belong to you now. Ever since I’ve known you after we rescued you from that personal prison of Francine’s, you’ve been nothing but kind, considerate of others, laughing and loving everyone when you could have been broken and bitter. I love you for that, Puppy.
(Pause.)
(Giggles.) Ok, you’re kinda cute too. (Giggles.)
(Pause.)
(Note: From here on, there are no instructions on how to say the rest of this. Please let your own emotions decide how it should be done. Tender and sweet? Tearful? Joyful? You decide.)
Thank you, Puppy. I will always love to hear you say that. But I wanted you to know just how much I love you. I know you said that when you were trapped by Francine, and while she was… well, you know. She would constantly tell you how much she loved you and needed you, even while she was hurting you. She didn’t know love, Puppy. She only knew her own obsession and her lust. She took what she wanted from you without any consideration for you. When she said that she loved you, all she did was hurt you.
I know it’s why you don’t even want me to call you by your given name. It brings back memories of her and even the broken life you had before she took you. I gave you the name Puppy, and when I say “I love you,” I actually do love you. You’ve told me that you only want me to call you Puppy because that marks you as mine, and that’s what you want.
Here. Before I go on, open that drawer. Yes, that one right beside the bed. Open it.
(Drawer opens.)
Take the key that’s in there. That’s the key to your chains. I found that after we rescued you when we did a sweep of Francine’s old headquarters. I saved it… for you. It’s yours now. Nobody owns you. Nobody controls you. You’re free. You can keep it as a symbol that you control your own destiny now, or you can throw it into the ocean tomorrow morning. But you decide. Nobody else.
I know that the pain she caused you happened because all she wanted to do was take from you with no thought of your well-being. She didn’t care how much it hurt you as long as it satisfied her needs. So, Puppy, when I say “I love you,” I want you to know that I’m not taking from you. I’m giving to you. I’m giving you me, Puppy. I’m yours. I’m your wife. I’m your love. I’m your friend. I’m whatever you need me to be. Whatever you need from me, I’m here to provide it for you. I really, really love you. Ok?
(Kiss.)
You’re the most wonderful thing that’s ever happened to me. And I vow to you that I will never let you forget that for as long as we both shall live.
(Kisses.)
(Fade out.)

Part 7
Carissa: (Sorrowfully.) Friends, family, loved ones, we have come today to mourn a beloved friend and colleague. We are going to miss his smile, his warmth, his courage, and his genuine love for each and every one of us, but most of all we’re going to miss the sound of his voice…(With humor.) …because now that Puppy has married Jane, every one of us here knows that he’s never going to get a word in again.

2024.05.20 03:00 Ashamed-Peach4919 George cooper plot hole now made cannon, my theory on this
 | George cooper plot hole now made cannon. My theory on this submitted by Ashamed-Peach4919 to YoungSheldon [link] [comments] I’m aware of the George cooper time travel theory however, with the new evidence I have provided below I am sure you will agree that the theory is finally complete. in s5 ep11 of the Big Bang theory it’s revealed that George Cooper wad was Leonard’s high school bully. Yet Sheldon who supposedly has a photographic memory didn’t recognise him? This perfect memory is later disproven when Sheldon and Amy break out a tape that young Sheldon recorded for old Sheldon as he does not remember what he said to himself on the tape. However, I believe that the more likely reasoning is that George Cooper is a master of Disguise hence the wig and young attire. Sheldon probably didn’t recognise him due to his autism much like when he fails to recognise jokes,sarcasm and social cues ect. With the official canonisation of Young Sheldon this means that the two shows are officially part of the same timeline making the whole of Young Sheldon Cannon to the Big Bang theory universe. This would solidify without a doubt that the George Cooper we see in young Sheldon is indeed the one and only George cooper. In the most recent episode of young Sheldon George attended his own funeral in disguise dressed as an older woman sat in the far back row this being his first disguise. I believe that George faked his death to escape his life and was using his own funeral as a symbolic final goodbye to his old life. Why would he do this? Most people would think he had enough of his family and the torment of Sheldon, Mary is extremely religious perhaps she doesn’t believe in divorce? This cannot be the case as the pair have almost divorced several times the best example being the episode where Sheldon gets his first computer. I believe that he had an immense debt that he couldn’t pay off we regularly see the Coopers in financial distress, this time it went too far. George loves his family and Mary is too busy to have a full time job, so it is only reasonable that After his first heart attack it he would have taken a large life insurance out on himself securing his family’s safety if the worst ever happened. With no way to pay off his substantial debt George would not bankrupt his family at such a late stage in their lives, this would have destroyed them therefore, he knew that faking his death would secure his family’s future. So he faked his death, attended his own funeral as a symbolic goodbye to his old life and went on to use his skills as a master of disguise to enroll himself at Leonard’s high school, bullying Leonard for his intelligence leading him down the path of scientific advancements eventually leading him to inevitably move in with Sheldon, ensuring that Sheldon had a friend to guide him through his journey not only was he Sheldon’s best friend but he was a father figure to him, without Leonard Sheldon would not have met the rest of the gang leading him into his adult life eventually leading to his marriage, George later resurfaces to see how his son is doing in his later life, checking in on him. Personally i believe it is Without a shadow of a doubt that George cooper, master of disguise and family man faked his own death in order to save his family and guided Sheldon’s life to the correct path through the bullying of young lenard to ensure he had not only a successful future, but a happy one. |

2024.05.20 01:53 Winding_Path_001 LA - Pico CGJI closing?
I was heartbroken to see a for rent sign on the Carl G Jung Institute’s lawn this morning.
Granted there has never been a sole there other than myself and the librarian. Which is the problem. It owed its existence to the energy and life of Edward Edinger who made LA his home. After his passing it became academic and reductionist.
Jung and his work is on the verge of a renaissance in the age of AI as a new form of psychological physics. Both men’s work, and the work of the men and women influenced by Jung, is redeemed in the present by people who can connect his symbol system to today’s myths.
That building unlocked a treasure and I’m thankful it existed so close at hand when it did.
We should throw a Jung send off party somewhere in LA.
