2023.03.24 07:02 unknown_elemental Seeking advice on girlfriendÂŽs pitbull
So, IÂŽve been dating this girl for about 4 months. I knew she had a pitbull-mix before we started dating. And up until I found this sub, I was ambivalent on the breed and the reputation but mostly airing on viewing each one as individuals just like any other breed. A month into dating she takes me home and I meet her 10-month old pup. And this is where I'm conflicted now because he's really sweet. I've never had a bad interaction with him. And after seeing her neighborhood, I was kind of glad she had a big dog to protect her. His biggest behavior issues when I met him were teething (sometimes on people, but that's normal for all puppies, isn't it?) jumping, which I could see my girlfriend was actively working on, and pulling on the leash when walking.
One time when walking him he got excited by another dog and pulled the leash hard enough to make her fall down. 4 months later he's no longer teething and the jumping is winding down. He's mostly an outside dog. He listens to me. I think I'm more strict with him than she is but she says his attachment to her makes him more excited when he sees her. He only knows 'sit' and 'come' but obeys them well. Every time I see him I practice them with him to remind him my gf and I are the bosses. I've fed him solo a few times and there's a gate that keeps him in his area of the backyard and I make him sit and wait for me to enter to give him praise and affection before grabbing his bowls after which I make him sit when I exit his area and again when I re-enter with food and water.
I feel like she was doing a good job raising him before I met her and I want to believe that because he's so young we have an opportunity to raise him responsibly but according to this sub, y'all say none of that matters because these family pets can snap in an instant. I'm not denying those stories but, I really like, dare say, love, this girl and just like you can't choose your in-laws, you can't choose the pets they had since before you met them. And on the top of that he's been nothing but a big, sweet, bumbling oaf making genuine strides thanks to responsible ownership and training.
So . . . at this point, what should I do?
Edit: on the leash issue, we could try the heel command?

2023.03.24 06:35 MelonKanon [TOMT] [YT] [2010s to 2013ish] Creepy Doll Video Title similar to "I got my new daughter in the mail today"
Hello all! I hope everyone had a good day.
I am looking for a video on youtube from roughly 2010- 2013ish.
The video wss creepy, Not sure if the person was serious.
I remember the title being something like "I got my new daughter in the mail today" or similar.
The doll looked like one of those dolls that was roughly the size of a toddler with long hair and she had blue ear muffs on and was blonde. And it looked like a school uniform on- I don't believe it was American girl.The shirt was white, the skirt was either blue or grey. Doll was big enough to be able to hold a soda can against itself.
At one part it's night time and he sees her in the dark and turns the light on and she(THE DOLL) is standing there with a can of soda and he says all creepy like "Noo you can't have any more soda! {Forgotten name} says you cant!" it was very panicked.
There was lots of creepy heavy breathing.

2023.03.24 06:33 YodaJedi1973 Do you think 4% GDP investment in R&D will make India a leader in Science and Tech? Or we also need a "tech geek culture" at grassroots level?
I am an IITian and I have done research and teaching in science & tech for many years in IIT and US. IMO, funds and facilities is not the reason India is behind. In fact most scientists in developed world are as middle class as ours and don't even have subsidized housing like ours do.
First, I will share one fun fact: I have been part of India's incredible software journey from 0 to a world leader. And that happened despite no Govt support or computer infra. Why?
India will change if we change. If I change. If many of us change.
Will we change?
"Na karne ke sau bahaane, karne ka sirf ek"
Fun Fact 2: Education systems around the world are more or less similar to ours on paper, and people outside crib about it as well, just like we do. In fact, hasn't the same education system produced greats like Ramanujan, CV Raman, Chandrashekhar, JC Bose, Khorana?
Fun Fact 3: When I used to do research at IIT, most folks used to complain that "there is no funding". Reality was that in general many instruments were just lying around in non-maintained state and no one knew or were interested in learning to repair them. This was the state of affairs in other premier research organizations as well.
I had a post doc colleague who was exceptional - for one of his new experiments, a special device was needed which was not available. He looked at its blueprint in a research paper and built it on his own in the machine lab! But such people are rare and we need more like him.
Fun Fact 4: when I first went to US, our research advisor told my American colleague and me that there was no funding for buying instruments worth $200K needed for our project. But there was an old, non-working one from 1960s we could use if we repaired it! I was dejected when I heard that - how can this be happening in America! But my colleague kept my spirits high and took the lead in repairing it. Over the next 3 months, we diagnosed the problems, designed a high voltage controller by referencing various books, and built it by sweating away in machine lab and scavenging free electrical parts. The instrument was working again and we had spent less than $100! This was an eye opening experience for me and didn't even know something like this could be done!
There is a misconception that funding abroad is better - there are similar challenges as ours.

First, I will share one fun fact: I have been part of India's incredible software journey from 0 to a world leader. And that happened despite no Govt support or computer infra. Why?
Because we, the people, wanted to. We were willing to surmount any challenge "without blaming the system" and kept marching ahead.No doubt, we do have some great researchers, however most are comfortable in a 9 to 5 job and publishing "good enough" papers once in a while. Most don't have great "lab" skills either because of "Yeh to labour ka kaam hai" mindset (and don't want to dirty their hands).
Contrast that with "tech geek" culture I experienced in US where many researchers love their research like a hobby and can even binge on it on a Friday night, just like many binge on Netflix.In some cases there was no funding available to buy instruments and existing defunct ones were refurbished. They are not satisfied unless the results produced are excellent. Why settle with an "Ambassador" car when one can have a "FortuneR" (or put your favorite car here) ?
What is a "geek culture"? It means that there is a community of a sizable number of "geeks" (passionate enthusiasts) in society who take their hobby to the next level by constantly exploring and sharing new ideas. They not only have theoretical knowledge but also have great practical DIY (Do it Yourself) skills relevant to their field.Social media is a great indicator of what a country is passionate about by observing their popular themes. India has many top notch YouTube channels in areas of entrepreneurship/dance/comedy supported by a thriving community of geeks, and one can easily draw the conclusion that India is a global leader in these areas.
Now here is a question for all of us: How many top science research channels are there from India that make science fun and promote innovation?A few examples of such channels from abroad are Veritasium/Mark RobePhysics Girl and BPS.Space. They are supported by a thriving community of geeks and sometimes their videos have more than 100K comments! They passionately discuss their ideas and its like entertainment for them!
I am not pro-foreign or want to sow seed of despair. As a patriotic Indian, I am rooting for our scientists to do well.But we can learn from good examples from anywhere in world, and not bury our head in sand.
No Govt program, ideology (including patriotism), our ancient glory, or changing education system can make India a leader in tech unless many of us pursue excellence as pleasure.As a parent, have you had a child who would move mountains to binge on web series or playing video games? No restrictions can discourage them from the pleasure they seek. We need more folks like these children who can binge on research instead (like Tony Stark from Avengers).
India will change if we change. If I change. If many of us change.
Will we change?

2023.03.24 06:11 Astro-verse I (20\F) have a higher sex drive than my (23/m) bf and itâs starting to take a tollâŠ
I have been with my partner for almost a year. It has been a dream relationship for me in every way so far. We have our bumps, but we communicate very well and the issues never happen again. Itâs very obvious that both of us want this to work. Thereâs just one topic thatâs touchy, and thatâs sex. It is something that makes him self conscious. Not the act, but about him having a low drive. Iâve talked to him about it on multiple occasions trying to figure out whatâs going on. Iâve gotten the answers of he has been self conscious, overwhelmed with work, just not in the mood, or even weâre not in his bedroom. This applies to everything, even flirting. We used to do well, but overtime it withered. We went from multiple times a week to once every 2-3.
I am someone whoâs a very intimate person. My happy area is at least 1+ times a week. I love flirting and subtle grabs. For him, itâs not the same. He could go 2-3 weeks just fine. If it does happen, itâs spur of the moment after a long day. By that time, Iâve mentally given up on initiating anything. Which leaves me unsatisfied. He has told me in the past that his biggest worry is that he isnât satisfying me. Iâve never told him the truth. I always try to boost his confidence.
Iâm not sure what to do. Every time I bring it up it bothers him more and more. If this issue gets fixed, I will surprisingly (in a good way. He is a dream guy. He has shown me what it truly feels like for someone to actually love me.) I have zero issues, pet peeves, or anything of the sort about our relationship. I really want to know what I can do to help.
Side notes: It wears on me because Iâve heard stories in the past about him having a high sex drive with other women. Like, anytime and for however long they want. With me, itâs like pulling teeth when Iâm in the mood and maybe 10 minutes. He told me that he thinks he never had a high drive, but that he never felt satisfied with other girls. He never finished with them. He always just assumed him antidepressants took that away. Like I just said, he is on two antidepressants. Iâve heard that plays a role. Also, he is on the spectrum.
TL;DR: To sum it up. My (20/f) sex drive is triple my boyfriendâs (23/m). I look at sex as a way to show how you really feel. Itâs a connection. My boyfriend has slowly gotten a lower and lower sex drive. His drive is maybe once every 2ish weeks. This includes flirting and compliments as well. Surprisingly, our relationship is at the best itâs been. Iâm not sure what to do since itâs really starting to affect me mentally. Being constantly rejected is starting to wear on me both in a self esteem and overall satisfaction way.

2023.03.24 04:32 lolpolice88 Moe mai ra e te rangatira, beautiful, dauntless Georgina Beyer (Te Äti Awa, NgÄti Mutunga, NgÄti Raukawa, and NgÄti Porou). Staunch intelligent Rights fighter, world's first Trans MP
Saturday 25th March, 10.30am, Albert Square, Auckland & Sunday 26th March 1.30pm, Civic Square, Wellington there are defences for Trans rights against a 'Penny Patero' a British Right Wing Neo Nazi Grifter. Our Labour MP's have capitulated to hate that incites murder, by letting this vile bitch in, hoping to catch a fantasy middle ground vote and use Patero to drive votes to their allied Parties in Parliament - when what we all wanted was the guts Jacinda had and no more playing games with murderous, scumbag altwhite supremacist, incel, neonazi, right wing vermin. Kia ora Jacinda for not grasping for power and potentially turning in to a Helen Clarke who fucked all Maori over with the Foreshore Pakeha theft for her dead British Queen & her race & reinvaded Tuhoe under an American War of Terror environment hoping to win racist coloniser votes. Fuck National, ACT, TPU, the colonial church cults, altwhite scum and any cunt who supports them. Lets hope decent journos dont platform them like they did those colonial canadian scum. We all know the dying talkback radio scum will. Labour needs to grow some guts and deal to these right wing terrorist networks who forced theirs & our best leader out, the right wingers already fought dirty and scored violent hits. You have the power, grow some guts. Maori Party & Greens are standing strong but we all shouldn't have to waste our time fighting the obvious. Get organised to vote & advocate for better & throw these bigots in the bin. These shitty trolls dont care about women, else they'd be in America fighting for womens rights or elsewhere, they're part of a global right wing hate movement clawing away at power through media & digital means, which needs more than local performative gestures and offloading on to others. Ian Mucks, Peter File, Fuckerberg are all getting the data and power without a fight, given a chance for a clean break everyone flocked back for attention just like they wanted and Peter File is about to fuck the NHS good. It's the plan they have for all of us. Jacinda ought to be a beginning to a more confident and articulate step up past the drama of shit throwing right wing noise and on to a wider aim.

Matangireia S2 Episode 2: Georgina Beyer RNZ
https://youtu.be/eTzsWp_n7gshttps://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/matangireia/story/2018791325/series-2-episode-2-georgina-beyer-matangireia
Georgina Beyer knows all about breaking barriers â becoming the first transgender MP in the world. But what is her biggest regret as a MÄori MP in Parliament?https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/06-03-2023/georgina-beyer-still-has-a-fire-in-her-belly
âA disaster, an absolute nightmare⊠it was one of the largest proposed confiscations from MÄori, in modern timesâ.
The former Labour Party MP describes the fallout over the Foreshore and Seabed legislation to Matangireia presenter Scott Campbell.
Beyer never shies away from the painful path she took to becoming one of New Zealandâs most trailblazing politicians.
Beyerâs list of achievements are extensive â a drag queen, a sex worker, an actor, an activist, a Mayor, and a MP.
In fact, when elected in 1999, she was the worldâs first transgender Member of Parliament, becoming known for her bold and colourful exterior.
But her story is one of pain, adversity, and fear â and itâs also one of courage and bravery.
Beyer was born George. Her biological father was a policeman who was sent to jail, leaving her mother to fend for herself and two young children.
Raised by her grandparents, until her mother remarried, she describes life in the Beyer household as âmildly well-offâ. Her stepfather Colin was a barrister and solicitor.
From around four years old, Beyer started to secretly express her feminine side through theatre, dressing up and acting.
âIf I was caught or discovered, or anything like that, it would be dealt with physical punishment, corporal punishment â beatings, hidings, things like that, to beat it out of me.â
At 16 years old, George became Georgina, but the abuse followed her from home to the streets.
As a sex worker, she was confronted daily with physical and verbal abuse from members of the public.
âIt drove me to suicide⊠to attempt suicide on three times, in my young life,â Beyer said, âI had been pack-raped in Sydney in 1979, which was a terrifying, horrifying experience, and the law didnât defend me.â

After working in a gay night club in Auckland, she moved from the glitzy lights of Karangahape Road to conservative back blocks of the Wairarapa.
It was in Carterton Beyerâs career in politics began.
Working as a part-time radio announcer (alongside Paul Henry, who she later beat in the 1999 General Election), she decided to run for council.
She missed out, but she tried again, and again. Eventually becoming a councillor and, in 1995, the Mayor of Carterton.
âIâm the Mayor, okay, whereâs the handbook on this job?â she said, âThere isnât any, but I now was in this position and I thrived in it, absolutely thrived in it.â
Being eloquent and not afraid to speak her mind, Parliament beckoned next.
Standing for the Labour Party in 1999, Beyer won the safe blue seat of Wairarapa with a majority of 3,033 votes. She was the first transgender woman elected to office.
However, in 2004, she faced one of the toughest challenges of her life. To choose her party, or her people.
âOh, a disaster, an absolute nightmareâ.
The Government, under Helen Clark, had just announced the Foreshore and Seabed legislation, effectively removing MÄori claims to ownership over beaches and waterways.
The news came as a shock to the Labour Partyâs MÄori caucus.
âWe were all quite taken aback that an announcement had been made, with no consultation with anyone in the MÄori caucus.
âAt the end of day, it was one of the largest proposed confiscations from MÄori in modern timesâ.
One by one, the MÄori caucus âfell into lineâ. The last three to do so were Beyer, Nanaia Mahuta, and Tariana Turia.
Beyer didnât hold a MÄori constituency and felt she had no mandate from MÄori to speak up strongly on their behalf like the rest of her MÄori colleagues.
âI was just so torn, but actually I didnât have to be steeped in tikanga MÄori to understand that this was wrong, wrong, wrong.
âI vowed and declared from that time on that I would never be torn between who and what I am as far as my heritage is concerned, and political expediencyâ.
So, what did she think of the former Prime Minister Helen Clark?
âI was never very close to Helen, at all, really,â Beyer said.
"I was not within her inner, outer, or extra-outer circle, really. I was just a cannon fodder backbench MPâ.
She became further isolated when she asked to abstain from the vote.
âI can almost pinpoint my beginning of the end of my political career in Parliament on that Foreshore and Seabed thing. I felt defeated and I felt impotent.â
But that wasnât the end.
She stayed for another two years traveling to Parliaments across the world to talk on gender issues.
Reflecting on her story today, sheâs proud of the road sheâs taken.
âYou canât live in your victim-hood all the time, you canât wallow in it, you gotta learn from it. Move on and change it and change what created that."
âAnd I hope Iâve been able to do a bit of thatâ.
In 2018, Alex Casey spoke to Georgina Beyer, the worldâs first transgender mayor and MP, about her extraordinary life.https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/485407/world-s-first-openly-transgender-mayor-and-mp-georgina-beyer-has-died
This interview contains references to sexual assault and suicide, please take care.
Sex work and politics are pretty much the same trade, according to Georgina Beyer at least. During her time as an MP, she would strut through the halls of parliament, calling her comrades to arms by asking them if they were all ready to âget out on the streets and sell their buttsâ. They didnât seem to fancy that comparison very much. âLook, honey, youâre soliciting yourself either way,â she told me over the phone, chuckling. âOneâs just for votes, the other for money. One advertises on billboards, the other advertises in the back pages of The Dominion Post.â
If there was anyone who could speak to the overlap of these very specific sets of skills, itâs Beyer. The worldâs first transgender mayor who went on to be the worldâs first elected transgender member of parliament, as well as a former sex worker, screen actress, and kidney transplant survivor, sheâs lived a thousand lives to get to where she is today â right now, she is in the Wellington suburb of Kilbirnie, on the phone to me, an ex-Wairarapa kid who grew up under her groundbreaking reign back in the late 90s.
I asked her how things have changed for the LGBTQIA+ community in her lifetime. âWhen I started transitioning, I quickly realised that it was a cruel world for people like us. I had to go down avenues I would never have considered.â Unable to get a ârealâ job, or any benefits outside of claiming a âpsychosexual disorderâ for the sickness benefit, she felt like she had no choice but to join the sex industry. âIt was a brutal time, but there was a strange camaraderie in that nobody else would support us, not even our government institutions.â
One night in Sydney in 1979, Beyer was sexually assaulted by a group of men. âPeople asked me why I didnât report it to the police. As if the law was going to protect me? A MÄori tranny prostitute? Yeah, right.â Following the traumatic attack, Georgina found herself depressed and near suicide for months. âOnce I got out the other end, it gave me a real fire in my belly. That shouldnât have happened to me. That shouldnât happen to anyone without being taken seriously.â She swore that she would try and change attitudes by example, which meant living a proud, public life as a trans woman.
It was the goal of visibility that drove Georgina to pursue a pre-politics acting career, including the 1985 film Jewelâs Darl, where she played a trans prostitute. âFor the time, that was quite unusual, to look at people like us not as caricatures, but real people with real lives.â Although she burned all of her old belongings the night she transitioned, Georgina didnât completely erase what she calls âthe other parts of meâ. âMen tend to forget that I can still access the same psyche as them. If they want to come down hard with the firm, staunch, brow-beating thing, well, I can play that game too, baby.â
Decades after her time working in the sex industry, Georgina found herself campaigning for prostitution reform in parliament. Given her own experience, she was shocked at some of the misconceptions held by the public around sex work. âThey thought it was all deviants and not their husbands, their brothers, their uncles â itâs ordinary people.â As, unsurprisingly, the only former sex worker in the house, her speech to the chamber changed the minds of three MPs, passing the legislation that would decriminalise sex work. âIt was the thinnest bloody margin you could have, but we got there in the end.â
So how in the flaming hell did a conservative, white, scarecrow-festival-hosting, mid-90s Wairarapa vote to become one of the wokest places in the world? âI think I was just a breath of fresh air. What people responded to was honesty, being straight up, being approachable â I would go to everything from a bloody party in a woolshed to judging sheep races out at Castle Point.â Carterton became known for something more than daffodils, and the more traditional locals slowly learned to âlook beyond the end of their noses.â
When she made the decision to run for Labour in the Wairarapa in 1999, Beyer didnât actually think she had a chance in hell of winning. She wasnât being humble â nobody else did either. Although she had been the mayor of Carterton for five years, the Wairarapa was a National Party stronghold, and her opposing candidate was a plucky, popular radio host by the name of Paul Henry. He questioned her ability to be âserious personâ because she was trans. âI thought Iâd just have some fun and kick a few buttsâ Georgina recalled. âBugger me! Look what happened!â
Georgina won with a 3000+ vote majority, making Paul Henry officially kicked in the butt and making her, officially, a âseriousâ public figure. Local attitudes had evolved, best summarised by the elderly farmer who had previously voted National all his life. âThis year Iâm voting for Georgina Beyer,â he was quoted in her documentary Georgie Girl, âbecause sheâs a damn good chap.â Did she mind the misgendering? âIf that was the only way a conservative 80 year-old farmer was be able to absorb and accept me, then Iâm happy with that. Thatâs still progress.â
Although she has regrets from her eight years in parliament â her stance on foreshore and seabed was a âmistakeâ that marked âthe beginning of the endâ of her political career â Beyer stands by her contribution to the Civil Union bill and prostitution reform. âYou have to remember: law is easy to change, attitudes throughout a country are not. It takes generations and role models to show the nation that weâre not the horrible, demented, crazy people they might think we are.â The work is far from done yet, with Beyerâs latest focus on applying to the Waitangi Tribunal to get TakatÄpui included in the Human Rights Act.
I asked Beyer if she still encountered prejudice in her life, or the hangover of trans-exclusionary attitudes from fellow women. âPeople still regard the gender thing as being relatively recent in our modern history, but weâve been around for millennia. Faâafafine. TakatÄpui. When you have words in languages to include us, that should send a message that this didnât happen last week.â What about the TERF mindset that still lingers in some modern day feminists, that reckons trans women arenât real women? âItâs an old, lazy argument. Donât worry about us encroaching on your world. Weâre just trying to improve our lot in this life, just like the womenâs movement did for you.â
To anyone, young or old, who might currently be questioning their own gender identity, her expert advice is to access professional information as soon as possible, and to seek out like-minded groups of people in the community. âYou are going to need people to give you moral support, who think the same as you and know what you are going through. Donât be afraid, there are far too many young trans people who are dying through suicide because they feel like this world isnât built for them anymore.â Georgina paused for a moment as her voice cracked.
âIt is, baby. It is.â
Although she has now retired from the political sphere, Beyer remains inspired by young LGBTQIA+ activists continuing the fight for access to healthcare, work and education. She admits that she never thought trans and gender issues would ever be taken seriously in her lifetime, and quickly slipped back into that same, rousing cadence that made her speeches so famous in the chamber. âI have spent the better part of my life trying to make things better for this generation. My faith now lies with this younger generation to stand on my shoulders, just as I stood on the shoulders of those who went before me. Iâve done my bit to move the needle, now itâs your turn.â
As for everyone else? âThey need to just shut up and let us get on with being who we are.â

2023.03.24 04:27 BiggerStarMoth customizing delilah process
 | hi guys! :3 thought I'd share my work on Delilah - I got into RH because Zooey looks like a cute little alien and I've been styling my dolls to be a kind of space girl senshi force! (villain eliza is really coming along). submitted by BiggerStarMoth to RainbowHigh [link] [comments] here is my work on Delilah! she's the earth girl - today I removed eyebrows and lips, painted mouth, fixed smudges here and there, touched up lower lashes. eye tape is ... unsettling lol but did the job! buffed removed eyebrows with a magic eraser btw which fixes washed post-acetone texture my ultimate plan is to draw in little hime eyebrows with prismacolor pencils or AP warpaints, give her a curl perm with space buns, and seal the lips with gloss! maybe glitter gloss? what do you guys think? :3 *sorry I know this isn't up to OOAK standards being discusses but that seems like the right flair to use? |
2023.03.24 04:14 RevenantbloodZ To my indian and asian bros, if you feel like your background/ethnicity is holding you back in the dating world, i'm here to tell you you're completely justified in thinking that way!
So i'm a 25 year old indian man currently residing in canada. I've been online dating for years now and it's been an uphill battle.
Now we all know these platforms promote the most superficial aspects of dating, so ofcourse i was fixated on certain aspects of myself which i thought made it harder for me to date. I'm short for example at 5'7. I always thought my race/nationality also had a huge part to play in my dating difficulties but after much adivce from dating related subs and friends, i convinced myself this was all in my head. Even if it was relevant, it didn't affect my dating life as much as personality, sense of style, you know the rest. Well recently i had a revelation that completely made me rethink this and kind of justified my old way of thinking. I have two friends, one indian and another dominican. One guy's british and the other guy is french. Last year they were also struggling a bit like me, but this year their match rate and number of dates have completely changed. They opened up their phones and showed me. they're getting a match with every second swipe and really good looking ones at that. My french friend is having a field day tbh, getting action every week. I asked them what they did different, and they told me it was simple: they posted pictures of their room with their respective flags in the background. French and english. In their own words " Worked like a charm". Seriously they both have over a 100 likes each. I've only seen girls with that many likes.
Now i'm someone who puts a lot more effort into online dating/dating in general than anyone i know. I specially cater messages, study swipe ratios - what would give me best results etc. Tinder and bumble for me are ghost towns, even with paid subscriptions. So i don't pay for them anymore. Even on the odd chance i get a match and we have a good conversation, i'm unmatched or ghosted when they ask the dreaded question "Where are you from"? And i say india. Although i've been living here for 5 years and my english is so good people always think i'm indian american/canadian.
Now all three of us are very similar in appearance. We're all 5'7ish, skinny frames, same skin tone and the only difference being my hair. In fact when we go out clubbing or to social events, i have better luck with meeting girls, getting attention. I dont think it's an apperance thing either as all of us are relatively good looking and my past dates have all told me i was cute. So the deciding factor came down to my background/nationality.
It's actually funny, in one way i'm happy my height isn't as important as i thought. But now it's another factor out of my control. And i get it, it's all right for people to have preferences. It's a bit hard to call it a preference though when it seems like the vast majority of women won't consider dating you. I've already made peace with that fact, as i can't change what i am. What i do get annoyed though is how people think this isn't a real bias, or it's all in my head. It's denying me my lived experiece, so by extension it feels like they're denying my struggles. When you go over 5 years trying your best to find a partner with little results, while your friends find new realtionships within months (With a 10th of the effort), it's hard to not feel jaded. Sometimes people say i shouldn't try too hard. Well if i'm not getting any luck putting in a 100% effort, what am i gonna see at 50%?
Anyway this post isn't meant to be a diss on anyone, it's just to highlight how things you may not think matter much actually matters a lot. Maybe the problem isn't always you all the time as popularly stated. You can be a good looking guy with an outgoing personality but still struggle due to factors like ethnicity which are out of your control. Doesn't mean it's your fault.
TLDR: Ethcnity/background/nationality has a huge factor in dating, online even more so.

2023.03.24 04:11 Voltes-Drifter-2187 My second idea for a Gundam show - Mobile Suit Gundam: Castaway Souls (Part 2)
1) AUBREY ZULEGER (ășăŹăŹăŒ ăȘăŒăăȘăŒ) â - Age: 17. Height: 5'. Hair: Black. Eyes: Dark Hazel. Pilot of the RX-2000-A Valkyrie Yulong: the Pink Gundam of Spectrum. Born out of a high school fling as the middle of three sisters, Aubrey has gone through life with few if any people to turn to. Due to incidents and demonstrations of her Newtype abilities coming out when she is placed in situations of stress, her own birth father sees her as a curse. Used as the scapegoat for her mother, sisters and step-father; Aubrey made few friends going through public secondary high school. Abused much of her life, Aubrey sees in the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force a ticket to either a better life or a glorious death that will end her pain. When she is caught in the Imperium attack on her moon of Titan, Aubrey escapes in a Gundam which takes her on an adventure of self-discovery and building a better family.
2) ERICA AZRAEL (ăąășă©ăŒă€ăŒă« ăšăȘă«) â - Age: 28. Height: 6'4". Hair: Dark Ginger. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-X Helios: the Orange Gundam of Space. Erica is a Newtype who has served in the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force with distinction from when she enlisted at the age of 18 and received her officers' commission at 23. Appointed as one of the Co-Wing Leaders of Solar Wing alongside Sierra Chay, Erica may seem rowdy and loud in fighting the CDEF battles - even being a hard-partying and drinking lady eager to score with the male and female species alike. But underneath that exterior is a warm and caring woman who sees fellow Newtypes as the family she must protect and will lay down the law if anyone goes too far or has a problem with someone else. Upon seeing what should be one of her own Gundams piloted by Aubrey, she seeks to draft the latter and get her the help she truly needs.
3) GABRIELA TULPER (ăă„ă«ăăŒ ăŹăăȘăšă©) â - Age: 18. Height: 5'8". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-1 Mercury: the Blue Gundam of Water. Gabriela is a rich noble of the Mercury colony of Narada that saw her home destroyed when the Imperium launched an attack on Narada. She joined the Solar Wing of CDEF in their liberation of Narada to help free her home world from the Imperium. She admires Erica and quickly develops a muted dislike of Aubrey due to their like minds and Aubrey's self-destructive outlook. Her dislike eventually turns to full-blown jealousy as she challenges Aubrey to a duel. Eventually, she realizes that Aubrey could be her best comrade but she'll will make constant attempts to win both Erica and Sierra's favor every so often. Gabriela often makes great efforts to appear smarter whilst closing herself off from others out of fear of rejection, but wishes she could be a good doctor.
4) MIO NGUYEN (ă°ăšăł æŸȘ) â - Age: 13. Height: 4'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Brown. Pilot of the RX-2000-B D'Artagnan Wukong: the Ruby Gundam of Anima. Like the young Sun Wukong as seen in Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Mio is headstrong/impulsive, agile to an insane degree, and has a penchant for not respecting authority figures who have not earned a right to wield such authority in his eyes. And like D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers; Mio is also very romantic, not very smart in terms of the literary-minded, and eagerly jumps into all manner of danger to help those truly in need. At first unable to comprehend how a talented and capable woman like Aubrey could ever need help, Mio soon sees himself being drawn into Aubrey's world fighting against Callisto forces. Hailing from the wrecked Neo Gascony colony on Ceres, he is the first boy Aubrey takes under her wing to gain her first apprentice.
5) IRIS MOREAU (ăąăăŒ ăąă€ăȘăč) â - Age: 27. Height: 5'8". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-2 Venus: the Yellow Gundam of Light. Back in her civilian life, she tries to do the best she can to help friends in need, but sometimes a disaster gear kicks in way too early. Iris is also infamous for using mixed-up proverbs and officially refers to herself as "Goddess of Love," a title which she uses to try to solve others' love woes. However; she is loyal and caring to a fault for as a fellow Newtype, she wears her heart on her sleeve and sees Aubrey for what she is and can be - a true friend. She's the joker of Solar Wing out of and sometimes in combat. She may take her duties seriously, but for the rest of the time, Iris prefers to spend her time goofing off, cracking jokes, pulling pranks, seeking thrills and just living life up. But if the chips are down, Iris is ruthless when protecting Aubrey from all bullies and the Imperium.
6) KAI PARRISH (ăăȘăă·ă„ æ”·) â - Age: 19. Height: 5'8". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Brown. Pilot of the RX-2000-3 Terra: the Brown Gundam of Earth. Honest and truthful in showing potential as a leader, Kai was brought up in Midwestern America on the Cherokee reservations by her parents who were equally as doting and permissive as they were firm and involved when they needed to be, so Kai can be powerful in battle and is ever courageous. Many might take her her not being a completely idealized feminine heroine as denial of someone's wish fulfillment and invite scorn, but Kai is out to show them wrong with skill in piloting the Terra Gundam as third-in-command of Solar Wing. Kai is the individualist Newtype and freedom-loving - one who cares about getting time over to do the things she wants to do. But she still gets along very well with all of Solar Wing, and she will always play her part well when it really matters.
7) SIERRA CHAY (ă·ă§ă€ ă·ăšă©) â - Age: 28. Height: 6'4". Hair: Violet. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-XI Luna: the White Gundam of Electricity. Sierra is also a top Newtype in the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force all with distinction from when she enlisted at the tender age of 18 and received her officers' commission at 23. Appointed as one of the Co-Wing Leaders of the Solar Wing alongside Erica Azrael, Sierra may seem dispassionate and or quiet in her preferred duties - even being more comfortable with home front activities and the day-to-day administration. But underneath her icy exterior is a fierce and driven woman who sees fellow Newtypes as the family she must protect and will lay down the law if anyone goes too far or has a problem with someone else. Unlike Erica who sees a great potential for Aubrey in flying a Gundam, Sierra sees Aubrey's self-destructive nature as the liability it is.
8) FLASH VAN WARREN (ăŽăĄăłăŠă©ăŒăŹăł ăă©ăă·ă„) â - Age: 14. Height: 4'9.5". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-E Athos Tripitaka: the Amber Gundam of Soul. Like the young Tripitaka as seen in the Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Flash is rather reserved and devoted to not sullying himself with physical relationships, more of their long-range tactician, and has a knack for getting himself into trouble which the others have to bail him out of. And like Athos in The Three Musketeers; Flash is also protective of children, not very emotive and taciturn in handling his fellow pilgrims, and more melancholy than others in trying to come to terms with the loss of his family and some friends to the Imperium. At first unable to comprehend how a talented and driven woman like Aubrey could ever need help, Flash soon sees himself being drawn into Aubrey's world in fleeing Vestia's Neo Perth.
9) MIYOSHI KUGA (äč æ äžć„œ) â - Age: 26. Height: 5'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Violet. Pilot of the RX-2000-4 Mars: the Red Gundam of Fire. Miyoshi has a bit of a bad temper, but she is a true friend to all on the inside once you get to know her better. Before joining CDEF, she had her job as a shrine maiden at the local Shinto Temple in Neo Osaka around Mars where she lived and may sometime go back to visit, and that is where she learned to channel herself and her Newtype abilities into the psychic world and the psychic into her fire. For all of their fights every so often as friends do, Miyoshi would actually prefer her friends and potential suitors to be more vulnerable as well as open about their emotions - as such, Kai and Aubrey are the golden standard by which she measures any potential new acquaintances. As a top member of Solar Wing and finding her connection to the Mars Gundam, Miyoshi is out to find her way.
10) NADIRA MULLER (ăă„ă©ăŒ ăăăŁă©) â - Age: 20. Height: 5'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-5 Jupiter: the Green Gundam of Forest. Being the resident tough girl of Solar Wing who hails from the Neo Zanzibar colony on Ganymede, many people feared her, but Nadira doesn't feel alone, as her squadron mates are always there, even when she is in a bad mood. She also practices judo and karate to keep up her fitness levels as well as serve as therapist for the others. Despite her tomboyish exterior, Nadira is a sweet person who enjoys cooking, gardening, flower arranging and handicrafts; and she dreams of getting married and owning a combined floral bakery shop. Her green thumb and Newtype abilities of hers make her perfect to pilot the Jupiter Gundam. Whenever Aubrey is getting involved with the Solar Wing, Nadira's motherly side comes out as the two become rather protective of each other.
11) SAMARA FORESTER (ăă©ăŹăčăżăŒ ă”ăă©) â - Age: 25. Height: 5'8". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-6 Saturn: the Purple Gundam of Shadow. Showing attitude and a thirst for battle, there are signs not all is right with her and she might be developing some form of Newtype PTSD. She has been consumed by battle ever since her brothers and sisters were seriously injured in the attacks on the Neo Burlington colony of Enceladus, constantly pushing things well beyond her physical limits and has a tendency to lose self-control when the battle goes against Solar Wing. The Saturn Gundam must have reached out to her via her vast Newtype abilities to give her an outlet to express herself. But when Aubrey is involved in the affairs of Solar Wing, Samara gets the mirror reflection of herself and she sees that what Aubrey and she have in common could get them both killed - and fear it boiling over into war.
12) VINCE COLEMAN (ăłăŒă«ăăł ăŽăŁăłăč) â - Age: 16. Height: 5'1.5". Hair: Black. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-C Porthos Wujing: the Emerald Gundam of Gravity. Like the tall Sha Wujing as seen in the Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Vince is powerful and yet loyal to all his friends while even having a penchant for light humor to make situations bearable, a friend to all children, and is more of a father to everyone around them than their own dads. And just as with Porthos in The Three Musketeers; Vince is also the ever rollicking, romantic life of the party. Even as a strong African-American young man, he is the rare manic pixie dream guy of being a Newtype who is a "gentle guy" to Aubrey's "broken babe". Some are resigned to or refuse the call to adventure, but the hometown boy of Neo Harlem, Pallas is one who actively sought out the call in hopes of finding friends who share in his passions.
13) TANYA KRIKALEV (ăŻăȘă«ăŹă ăżăŒăăŁ) â - Age: 24. Height: 5'8". Hair: Gainsboro. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-7 Uranus: the Black Gundam of Sky. When the Imperium struck against Neo Leningrad on Oberon, Tanya was separated from both her parents but maintains hope that they are still alive on Oberon and someday they'll be reunited. Because of her lack of contact with the rest of the Wing, she is only really close to Erica and Sierra although her compassionate and submissive personality means she's kind and accepting of everybody in or affiliated with Solar Wing. Her dreams of the sky and ability to read the cosmic winds makes her the prime candidate for the Newtype pilot of the Uranus Gundam. Whenever Tanya finds Aubrey getting involved with Solar Wing and bringing Pilgrim Squadron with her, she finds a crush for her in Flash as well as the chance to be the big sister Aubrey never had growing up.
14) LILLIAN ROBLEDO (ăăăŹă ăȘăȘăąăł) â - Age: 21. Height: 5'8". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Red. Pilot of the RX-2000-8 Neptune: the Silver Gundam of Ocean. Hailing from the Earth colony of Neo Santiago on Triton, Lillian's family are miners who make a living converting the frozen icy surface of the moon into water and ammonia. Curious as to where the water is supposed to go, Lillian finds herself drawn to the seas and able to manipulate water around her with a set of Newtype abilities she is discovering for herself. This makes her the prime candidate for piloting the Neptune Gundam for Solar Wing. Unlike Tanya who is shyer and conventionally more feminine than her; the more tomboyish Lillian can be full of energy, jumps around a lot, and speaks in a sing-songy voice. Eager to show off and enjoy the finer things life has to offer, Lillian sees her own sister in Aubrey and strives to thaw a frozen heart with some patience.
15) REEMA AL-YASIN (ă€ăă»ăł ăȘă) â - Age: 22. Height: 5'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-9 Pluto: the Gold Gundam of Time. The Neo Riyadh colony on Charon is one of the first targets of the Imperium of Callisto's operations - especially for raw materials to be used in building their war machine to secure supremacy in the Solar System. Reema is now an orphan due to the Imperium crashing the Kerberos VII colony into Charon, and barely escaped with her life due to manifesting Newtype abilities of shifting herself and others both forward and backward in time. Found and chosen by the Pluto Gundam, Reema has a grudge against the primarily Aryan (tall, slender, fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde) members of all the Imperium - especially Maxx Zaldivar. Being rehabilitated alongside Aubrey into Solar Wing is no small feat, but Reema finds a support network in them as she discovers her own person.
16) ULF SOLBERG (ăœă«ăă«ă° ăŠă«ă) â - Age: 15. Height: 4'11.5". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-D Arimos Bajie: the Sapphire Gundam of Illusion. Like the younger Zhu Bajie as seen in Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Ulf is smart and something of a warrior poet while even having a penchant for rather vulgar humor to make their situations bearable, and tries to be a hit with the ladies while treating them with respect. And as with Arimos in The Three Musketeers; Ulf is also the dependable one for common sense as well as coming up with inventions alongside his crush Gabriela. Even as the intelligent Scandinavian young man he is, Ulf at first is reluctant to be paired with Pilgrim Squadron. But after a strike by the Imperium forces against his colony Neo Stockholm on Juno, he has little elsewhere to go for support. Freed from obligations, Ulf commits to being the best brother for Aubrey.
MECHA/ARSENAL
1) RX-2000 VALKYRIE GUNDAM-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 21.7 meters. Fighting Weight: 32.2 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Raw Power Output: 3500 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 22K Meters. Weapon(s): 2x Beam Sabers, 1x Shield, 1x Hyper Bazooka and 1x Beam Rifle. Designed and built by Yatate Enterprises especially for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Valkyrie Gundams are made to last while also serving as the expression of Newtypes in CDEF. Each colored Gundam represents a very specific element or power that a space body is emblematic of. En route to a CDEF dedication ceremony on Titan, their CDEF carrier is attacked and the pink Valkyrie Yulong Gundam falls into the possession of Aubrey Zuleger. She fights off an Imperium attack and escapes in the Gundam looking for sanctuary. All sixteen of the Gundams are the heroes of this Solar War.
2) CVABB-79 OLYMPUS - Height: 200 meters. Length: 600 meters. Beam: 400 meters. Total Wingspan: 200 meters. Fighting Weight: 47000 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Fusion Reactor. Top Speed: 25000 kilometers an hour. Propulsion: 13x Thermonuclear Rocket Jet Engines. Class: Pantheon-class Assault Carrier Battleship. Weapon(s): 5x 3-barrel Primary Shock Cannons, 2x twin Mega Particle Cannons, 8x 4-tube Fore Missile Launchers, 1x 4-tube Aft Missile Launcher, 22x twin Anti-Aircraft Guns. Designed and built by Tomino Aeronautics Engineering for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the United Solar Vessel (USV) Olympus serves as home for both Solar Wing and Pilgrim Squadron in all their tours of duty across the Solar System. Able to house multiple Core Fighters and Mobile Weapons, the Olympus is always a welcome sight and a defender of all that our heroes are fighting to save.
3) RX-1991 CORSAIR GUNCANNON-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 18.75 meters. Fighting Weight: 60.5 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Raw Power Output: 1400 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 20K Meters. Weapon(s): 2x 240mm Cannons, 1x Hyper Bazooka and 1x Beam Rifle. Designed and built by Yatate Enterprises especially for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Corsair Guncannons are meant to be a middle-range support mobile suit to complement both the RX-2000 Valkyrie Gundams and the RX-1961 Taurus Guntanks in their ground operations. Serving mainly as CDEF's primary artillery unit, the Corsair's design prioritizes durability over mobility and precludes the use of melee weapons. While it is less agile and mobile than a Gundam, a Guncannon is still useful with its pair of shell-firing cannons that can penetrate heavy armor of any Imperium forces.
4) SF-XV CORE BLOCK FIGHTER - Height: 3.38 Meters. Length: 8.75 Meters. Wingspan: 7.25 Meters. Weight: 9 metric tons. Power Plant: Nuclear Fusion Generator. Speed: 6K kilometers per hour (in space)/4K kilometers per hour (in planetary atmospheres). Weapon(s): 4x 25mm Vulcan Guns and 2x 4-shot Anti-Ship Missile Launchers. Designed and mass-produced by one United Solar Alliance specifically for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Core Block Fighter makes up the spear of CDEF's aerospace superiority forces. Originally seen in development as a cockpit capsule that also served as an escape mechanism, United Solar Alliance sought to capitalize on the further development of Yatate Enterprises' mobile suits by creating a Core Block System that turns the fighter into an augmented core and cockpit for mobile weapons such as the RGM-1976 Spartan, RX-1982 Taurus and RX-1991 Corsair.
5) RGM-1976 SPARTAN GM-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 18.5 Meters. Fighting Weight: 50.5 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Power Output: 1300 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 6K Meters. Weapon(s): 60mm Vulcan Gun, 2x Beam Sabers, 1x Shield, 1x Hyper Bazooka and 1x Beam Rifle. Designed and soon mass-produced by Yatate Enterprises specifically for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Spartan GM is the most common form of mobile suit used by CDEF rank and file. Its standard frame is readily adaptable to every manner of modification into mission-specific Spartan models, and holds a fairly high level of mobility, for the time, both on Earth and in space. Many Spartans are used as trainer crafts for Mobile Suit pilots, which make it easier for non-Newtype CDEF officers to join the fray. But their lighter titanium armor is less durable than the Gundams.
6) RX-1961 TAURUS GUNTANK-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 15.3 Meters. Fighting Weight: 68 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Power Output: 900 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 6K Meters. Weapon(s): 2x 120mm Low-Recoil Cannons and 2x 4-tube 40mm Arm Missile Launchers. Designed and built by Yatate Enterprises especially for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Taurus Guntanks possess the torso and arms of a mobile suit, but use caterpillar treads for their legs. Serving as CDEF's ground superiority units, the Taurus' design prioritizes durability over mobility and precludes the use of melee weapons. While it is less agile and mobile than other mobile suits, a Guntank is still useful with its array of shell-firing cannons that can penetrate heavy armor of any Imperium forces. Many are designed around a crew complement of a primary drivepilot and gunner.
7) CMS-07 SOMU-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 18.45 Meters. Fighting Weight: 67.5 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Raw Power Output: 1100 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 4K Meters. Weapon(s): 1x Shield, 1x 105mm Callisto Machine Gun, 1x Callisto Hyper Bazooka and 1x Heat Sword. The mainstay of the Imperium of Callisto; the Somu-type Mobile Suit is faster, more durable and versatile than a great many of its forbears in CDEF in spite of their vast numbers contributing to their disposable nature. Many high-ranking commanders in Callisto forces use custom-painted and custom-armed variants as an expression of storied victories over many adversaries like Maxx Zaldivar's Crimson Serpent. Curiously, Aubrey's secret Newtype benefactor pilots his own modified Somu with its Beam Sword in a striking color scheme that allows for infiltration of Callisto ranks and sabotage.
PRIMARY ANTAGONISTS - IMPERIUM OF CALLISTO (ă«ăȘăčăăźćžćœ)
1) IMPERATOR PIETRO VON VIDMAR (çćž ăăšăă ăă©ăł ăŽăŁăăăŒ) â - Age: 35. Total Height: 6'3.5". Hair: Silver. Eyes: Blue. In short and at most charitable, Pietro is best described as ambitious, underhanded, overconfident, and a feared motivator. As the essential leader of Callisto, Pietro belittles the dwindling power of his siblings and continuously schemes to turn the Solar War into a total war. He and his siblings Elise and Tobias are constantly at odds with each other as the three possess similar political goals but different methods with some of the rank and file pushing to fall behind Maxx Zaldivar. Over the course of the War as both Solar Wing and Pilgrim Squadron inflict devastating losses on Callisto forces, Pietro expects he will be betrayed and schemes to find the Newtype Gundam pilot Aubrey Zuleger so his forces break her. Even so, he'll have to get past Zaldivar's own obsession with the CDEF's rising star.
2) MAXX ZALDIVAR (ă¶ă«ăăŁăăŒ ăăăŻăč) â - Age: 21. Height: 5'10". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Crimson Serpent". Maxx is always seen dressed in his red Callisto uniform and mostly wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to conceal his real identity. Maxx's personality is a mix of passion, charisma, pride, vengefulness and charm. Perhaps his most dominant characteristic is charisma, which makes him a genuine leader. Maxxâs skill as a pilot combined with his charisma cause many people to respect and willingly follow his command, while instilling fear in his opponents. A rival for dominant characteristic is Maxx's tendency to hold deep grudges - such as towards Callisto's Imperator Von Vidmar for the slaughter of his family and friends, as well as both Tobias and Aubrey Zuleger for their defeats of him in Mobile Suit combat throughout the ongoing War.
3) ELISE VON VIDMAR (ăšăȘăŒăŒ ăă©ăł ăŽăŁăăăŒ) â - Age: 25. Height: 5'8". Hair: Red. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Verde Eagle". Elise is seen dressed in a green Callisto uniform and also wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to show her identification with some of Maxx Zaldivar's ideals. Elise had both political and military ambitions at a young age and will try to establish military and political channels both on her own and with her brother Tobias in order to compete with their elder brother Pietro over who should have the right to rule the Solar System if Callisto is victorious. Using Mobile Suits and Newtypes to her advantage as Maxx suggests, Elise is playing her elder brother into a trap for him to fail and her to become the new Imperator. That is not to say she lacks traits that aren't admirable. She's been known to be heartfelt and honest with troops she will lead.
4) ILHAN ILSUNG (ă€ă«ăăł ă€ă«ăœăł) â - Age: 35. Height: 6'2". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Brown. Commanding Officer of the Callisto Imperium's Flagship Mobile Suit Carrier Babylon, Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Silver Bullet". Ilhan is sometimes seen dressed in a yellow Callisto uniform and wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to show his identification with some of Maxx Zaldivar's ideals. Having seen the Von Vidmar patriarchy's cruelty firsthand in the assassination of Callisto Zaldivar, Ilhan and his wife Xenia Sutherland smuggled young Maxx to freedom and trained him in piloting Mobile Suits while giving him a good education so he could avenge his family against Imperator Pietro. An experienced agent and officer, Ilhan never has a foul mood towards any of the men serving under him so long as a code of ethics he instills is followed. He only fights so Callisto colonies can live in freedom.
5) TOBIAS VON VIDMAR (ăăăąăč ăă©ăł ăŽăŁăăăŒ) â - Age: 21. Hair: Brown. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Azure Ghost". Tobias is sometimes seen outfitted in his blue Callisto uniform and wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to show his identification with some of Maxx Zaldivar's ideals. Among one of the more moral and nobler members of the Callisto Imperium, Tobias is shrewd enough to ally with his sister Elise and Maxx Zaldivar against their brother Pietro. On the other hand, he is young and very beautiful in a feminine way which makes him both the envy and goal of every female officer in the Callisto Imperial Military. He is one of the few who shows equal respect to each of his officers be they normal or Newtype. Very few in the Imperium know that Tobias is in fact the mysterious benefactor who has been watching out for Aubrey since they were little kids.
SERIES EPISODE PROPOSAL
Little do Pilgrim Squadron, Solar Wing or the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force know that Pietro Von Vidmar survived the assassination attempt against him. Pietro finds his mighty Imperium of Callisto falling due to Newtypes and ordinary humans finally combining into an alliance to destroy his pure Universe. Pilgrim Squadron and Solar Wing fly into battle one more time alongside Tobias and Elise to stop Pietro from crashing the new Neo Shinjuku colony into Earth. This main story is both book-ended and interrupted by a future plot which involves Solar Wing and Pilgrim Squadron's members and their families catching back up on the old days with an older Aubrey, her children and grandchildren. The older Aubrey is lucky to be by her friends' sides again ever since Tobias died in the last battle. Now, Aubrey too has to set her final affairs in order having risen above her abusive childhood to gain a happier life.
MERCHANDISING AND PROMOTION

2) ERICA AZRAEL (ăąășă©ăŒă€ăŒă« ăšăȘă«) â - Age: 28. Height: 6'4". Hair: Dark Ginger. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-X Helios: the Orange Gundam of Space. Erica is a Newtype who has served in the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force with distinction from when she enlisted at the age of 18 and received her officers' commission at 23. Appointed as one of the Co-Wing Leaders of Solar Wing alongside Sierra Chay, Erica may seem rowdy and loud in fighting the CDEF battles - even being a hard-partying and drinking lady eager to score with the male and female species alike. But underneath that exterior is a warm and caring woman who sees fellow Newtypes as the family she must protect and will lay down the law if anyone goes too far or has a problem with someone else. Upon seeing what should be one of her own Gundams piloted by Aubrey, she seeks to draft the latter and get her the help she truly needs.
3) GABRIELA TULPER (ăă„ă«ăăŒ ăŹăăȘăšă©) â - Age: 18. Height: 5'8". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-1 Mercury: the Blue Gundam of Water. Gabriela is a rich noble of the Mercury colony of Narada that saw her home destroyed when the Imperium launched an attack on Narada. She joined the Solar Wing of CDEF in their liberation of Narada to help free her home world from the Imperium. She admires Erica and quickly develops a muted dislike of Aubrey due to their like minds and Aubrey's self-destructive outlook. Her dislike eventually turns to full-blown jealousy as she challenges Aubrey to a duel. Eventually, she realizes that Aubrey could be her best comrade but she'll will make constant attempts to win both Erica and Sierra's favor every so often. Gabriela often makes great efforts to appear smarter whilst closing herself off from others out of fear of rejection, but wishes she could be a good doctor.
4) MIO NGUYEN (ă°ăšăł æŸȘ) â - Age: 13. Height: 4'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Brown. Pilot of the RX-2000-B D'Artagnan Wukong: the Ruby Gundam of Anima. Like the young Sun Wukong as seen in Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Mio is headstrong/impulsive, agile to an insane degree, and has a penchant for not respecting authority figures who have not earned a right to wield such authority in his eyes. And like D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers; Mio is also very romantic, not very smart in terms of the literary-minded, and eagerly jumps into all manner of danger to help those truly in need. At first unable to comprehend how a talented and capable woman like Aubrey could ever need help, Mio soon sees himself being drawn into Aubrey's world fighting against Callisto forces. Hailing from the wrecked Neo Gascony colony on Ceres, he is the first boy Aubrey takes under her wing to gain her first apprentice.
5) IRIS MOREAU (ăąăăŒ ăąă€ăȘăč) â - Age: 27. Height: 5'8". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-2 Venus: the Yellow Gundam of Light. Back in her civilian life, she tries to do the best she can to help friends in need, but sometimes a disaster gear kicks in way too early. Iris is also infamous for using mixed-up proverbs and officially refers to herself as "Goddess of Love," a title which she uses to try to solve others' love woes. However; she is loyal and caring to a fault for as a fellow Newtype, she wears her heart on her sleeve and sees Aubrey for what she is and can be - a true friend. She's the joker of Solar Wing out of and sometimes in combat. She may take her duties seriously, but for the rest of the time, Iris prefers to spend her time goofing off, cracking jokes, pulling pranks, seeking thrills and just living life up. But if the chips are down, Iris is ruthless when protecting Aubrey from all bullies and the Imperium.
6) KAI PARRISH (ăăȘăă·ă„ æ”·) â - Age: 19. Height: 5'8". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Brown. Pilot of the RX-2000-3 Terra: the Brown Gundam of Earth. Honest and truthful in showing potential as a leader, Kai was brought up in Midwestern America on the Cherokee reservations by her parents who were equally as doting and permissive as they were firm and involved when they needed to be, so Kai can be powerful in battle and is ever courageous. Many might take her her not being a completely idealized feminine heroine as denial of someone's wish fulfillment and invite scorn, but Kai is out to show them wrong with skill in piloting the Terra Gundam as third-in-command of Solar Wing. Kai is the individualist Newtype and freedom-loving - one who cares about getting time over to do the things she wants to do. But she still gets along very well with all of Solar Wing, and she will always play her part well when it really matters.
7) SIERRA CHAY (ă·ă§ă€ ă·ăšă©) â - Age: 28. Height: 6'4". Hair: Violet. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-XI Luna: the White Gundam of Electricity. Sierra is also a top Newtype in the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force all with distinction from when she enlisted at the tender age of 18 and received her officers' commission at 23. Appointed as one of the Co-Wing Leaders of the Solar Wing alongside Erica Azrael, Sierra may seem dispassionate and or quiet in her preferred duties - even being more comfortable with home front activities and the day-to-day administration. But underneath her icy exterior is a fierce and driven woman who sees fellow Newtypes as the family she must protect and will lay down the law if anyone goes too far or has a problem with someone else. Unlike Erica who sees a great potential for Aubrey in flying a Gundam, Sierra sees Aubrey's self-destructive nature as the liability it is.
8) FLASH VAN WARREN (ăŽăĄăłăŠă©ăŒăŹăł ăă©ăă·ă„) â - Age: 14. Height: 4'9.5". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-E Athos Tripitaka: the Amber Gundam of Soul. Like the young Tripitaka as seen in the Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Flash is rather reserved and devoted to not sullying himself with physical relationships, more of their long-range tactician, and has a knack for getting himself into trouble which the others have to bail him out of. And like Athos in The Three Musketeers; Flash is also protective of children, not very emotive and taciturn in handling his fellow pilgrims, and more melancholy than others in trying to come to terms with the loss of his family and some friends to the Imperium. At first unable to comprehend how a talented and driven woman like Aubrey could ever need help, Flash soon sees himself being drawn into Aubrey's world in fleeing Vestia's Neo Perth.
9) MIYOSHI KUGA (äč æ äžć„œ) â - Age: 26. Height: 5'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Violet. Pilot of the RX-2000-4 Mars: the Red Gundam of Fire. Miyoshi has a bit of a bad temper, but she is a true friend to all on the inside once you get to know her better. Before joining CDEF, she had her job as a shrine maiden at the local Shinto Temple in Neo Osaka around Mars where she lived and may sometime go back to visit, and that is where she learned to channel herself and her Newtype abilities into the psychic world and the psychic into her fire. For all of their fights every so often as friends do, Miyoshi would actually prefer her friends and potential suitors to be more vulnerable as well as open about their emotions - as such, Kai and Aubrey are the golden standard by which she measures any potential new acquaintances. As a top member of Solar Wing and finding her connection to the Mars Gundam, Miyoshi is out to find her way.
10) NADIRA MULLER (ăă„ă©ăŒ ăăăŁă©) â - Age: 20. Height: 5'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-5 Jupiter: the Green Gundam of Forest. Being the resident tough girl of Solar Wing who hails from the Neo Zanzibar colony on Ganymede, many people feared her, but Nadira doesn't feel alone, as her squadron mates are always there, even when she is in a bad mood. She also practices judo and karate to keep up her fitness levels as well as serve as therapist for the others. Despite her tomboyish exterior, Nadira is a sweet person who enjoys cooking, gardening, flower arranging and handicrafts; and she dreams of getting married and owning a combined floral bakery shop. Her green thumb and Newtype abilities of hers make her perfect to pilot the Jupiter Gundam. Whenever Aubrey is getting involved with the Solar Wing, Nadira's motherly side comes out as the two become rather protective of each other.
11) SAMARA FORESTER (ăă©ăŹăčăżăŒ ă”ăă©) â - Age: 25. Height: 5'8". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-6 Saturn: the Purple Gundam of Shadow. Showing attitude and a thirst for battle, there are signs not all is right with her and she might be developing some form of Newtype PTSD. She has been consumed by battle ever since her brothers and sisters were seriously injured in the attacks on the Neo Burlington colony of Enceladus, constantly pushing things well beyond her physical limits and has a tendency to lose self-control when the battle goes against Solar Wing. The Saturn Gundam must have reached out to her via her vast Newtype abilities to give her an outlet to express herself. But when Aubrey is involved in the affairs of Solar Wing, Samara gets the mirror reflection of herself and she sees that what Aubrey and she have in common could get them both killed - and fear it boiling over into war.
12) VINCE COLEMAN (ăłăŒă«ăăł ăŽăŁăłăč) â - Age: 16. Height: 5'1.5". Hair: Black. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-C Porthos Wujing: the Emerald Gundam of Gravity. Like the tall Sha Wujing as seen in the Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Vince is powerful and yet loyal to all his friends while even having a penchant for light humor to make situations bearable, a friend to all children, and is more of a father to everyone around them than their own dads. And just as with Porthos in The Three Musketeers; Vince is also the ever rollicking, romantic life of the party. Even as a strong African-American young man, he is the rare manic pixie dream guy of being a Newtype who is a "gentle guy" to Aubrey's "broken babe". Some are resigned to or refuse the call to adventure, but the hometown boy of Neo Harlem, Pallas is one who actively sought out the call in hopes of finding friends who share in his passions.
13) TANYA KRIKALEV (ăŻăȘă«ăŹă ăżăŒăăŁ) â - Age: 24. Height: 5'8". Hair: Gainsboro. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the RX-2000-7 Uranus: the Black Gundam of Sky. When the Imperium struck against Neo Leningrad on Oberon, Tanya was separated from both her parents but maintains hope that they are still alive on Oberon and someday they'll be reunited. Because of her lack of contact with the rest of the Wing, she is only really close to Erica and Sierra although her compassionate and submissive personality means she's kind and accepting of everybody in or affiliated with Solar Wing. Her dreams of the sky and ability to read the cosmic winds makes her the prime candidate for the Newtype pilot of the Uranus Gundam. Whenever Tanya finds Aubrey getting involved with Solar Wing and bringing Pilgrim Squadron with her, she finds a crush for her in Flash as well as the chance to be the big sister Aubrey never had growing up.
14) LILLIAN ROBLEDO (ăăăŹă ăȘăȘăąăł) â - Age: 21. Height: 5'8". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Red. Pilot of the RX-2000-8 Neptune: the Silver Gundam of Ocean. Hailing from the Earth colony of Neo Santiago on Triton, Lillian's family are miners who make a living converting the frozen icy surface of the moon into water and ammonia. Curious as to where the water is supposed to go, Lillian finds herself drawn to the seas and able to manipulate water around her with a set of Newtype abilities she is discovering for herself. This makes her the prime candidate for piloting the Neptune Gundam for Solar Wing. Unlike Tanya who is shyer and conventionally more feminine than her; the more tomboyish Lillian can be full of energy, jumps around a lot, and speaks in a sing-songy voice. Eager to show off and enjoy the finer things life has to offer, Lillian sees her own sister in Aubrey and strives to thaw a frozen heart with some patience.
15) REEMA AL-YASIN (ă€ăă»ăł ăȘă) â - Age: 22. Height: 5'8". Hair: Black. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-9 Pluto: the Gold Gundam of Time. The Neo Riyadh colony on Charon is one of the first targets of the Imperium of Callisto's operations - especially for raw materials to be used in building their war machine to secure supremacy in the Solar System. Reema is now an orphan due to the Imperium crashing the Kerberos VII colony into Charon, and barely escaped with her life due to manifesting Newtype abilities of shifting herself and others both forward and backward in time. Found and chosen by the Pluto Gundam, Reema has a grudge against the primarily Aryan (tall, slender, fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde) members of all the Imperium - especially Maxx Zaldivar. Being rehabilitated alongside Aubrey into Solar Wing is no small feat, but Reema finds a support network in them as she discovers her own person.
16) ULF SOLBERG (ăœă«ăă«ă° ăŠă«ă) â - Age: 15. Height: 4'11.5". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the RX-2000-D Arimos Bajie: the Sapphire Gundam of Illusion. Like the younger Zhu Bajie as seen in Journey to the West; the Newtype known as Ulf is smart and something of a warrior poet while even having a penchant for rather vulgar humor to make their situations bearable, and tries to be a hit with the ladies while treating them with respect. And as with Arimos in The Three Musketeers; Ulf is also the dependable one for common sense as well as coming up with inventions alongside his crush Gabriela. Even as the intelligent Scandinavian young man he is, Ulf at first is reluctant to be paired with Pilgrim Squadron. But after a strike by the Imperium forces against his colony Neo Stockholm on Juno, he has little elsewhere to go for support. Freed from obligations, Ulf commits to being the best brother for Aubrey.
MECHA/ARSENAL
1) RX-2000 VALKYRIE GUNDAM-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 21.7 meters. Fighting Weight: 32.2 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Raw Power Output: 3500 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 22K Meters. Weapon(s): 2x Beam Sabers, 1x Shield, 1x Hyper Bazooka and 1x Beam Rifle. Designed and built by Yatate Enterprises especially for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Valkyrie Gundams are made to last while also serving as the expression of Newtypes in CDEF. Each colored Gundam represents a very specific element or power that a space body is emblematic of. En route to a CDEF dedication ceremony on Titan, their CDEF carrier is attacked and the pink Valkyrie Yulong Gundam falls into the possession of Aubrey Zuleger. She fights off an Imperium attack and escapes in the Gundam looking for sanctuary. All sixteen of the Gundams are the heroes of this Solar War.
2) CVABB-79 OLYMPUS - Height: 200 meters. Length: 600 meters. Beam: 400 meters. Total Wingspan: 200 meters. Fighting Weight: 47000 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Fusion Reactor. Top Speed: 25000 kilometers an hour. Propulsion: 13x Thermonuclear Rocket Jet Engines. Class: Pantheon-class Assault Carrier Battleship. Weapon(s): 5x 3-barrel Primary Shock Cannons, 2x twin Mega Particle Cannons, 8x 4-tube Fore Missile Launchers, 1x 4-tube Aft Missile Launcher, 22x twin Anti-Aircraft Guns. Designed and built by Tomino Aeronautics Engineering for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the United Solar Vessel (USV) Olympus serves as home for both Solar Wing and Pilgrim Squadron in all their tours of duty across the Solar System. Able to house multiple Core Fighters and Mobile Weapons, the Olympus is always a welcome sight and a defender of all that our heroes are fighting to save.
3) RX-1991 CORSAIR GUNCANNON-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 18.75 meters. Fighting Weight: 60.5 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Raw Power Output: 1400 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 20K Meters. Weapon(s): 2x 240mm Cannons, 1x Hyper Bazooka and 1x Beam Rifle. Designed and built by Yatate Enterprises especially for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Corsair Guncannons are meant to be a middle-range support mobile suit to complement both the RX-2000 Valkyrie Gundams and the RX-1961 Taurus Guntanks in their ground operations. Serving mainly as CDEF's primary artillery unit, the Corsair's design prioritizes durability over mobility and precludes the use of melee weapons. While it is less agile and mobile than a Gundam, a Guncannon is still useful with its pair of shell-firing cannons that can penetrate heavy armor of any Imperium forces.
4) SF-XV CORE BLOCK FIGHTER - Height: 3.38 Meters. Length: 8.75 Meters. Wingspan: 7.25 Meters. Weight: 9 metric tons. Power Plant: Nuclear Fusion Generator. Speed: 6K kilometers per hour (in space)/4K kilometers per hour (in planetary atmospheres). Weapon(s): 4x 25mm Vulcan Guns and 2x 4-shot Anti-Ship Missile Launchers. Designed and mass-produced by one United Solar Alliance specifically for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Core Block Fighter makes up the spear of CDEF's aerospace superiority forces. Originally seen in development as a cockpit capsule that also served as an escape mechanism, United Solar Alliance sought to capitalize on the further development of Yatate Enterprises' mobile suits by creating a Core Block System that turns the fighter into an augmented core and cockpit for mobile weapons such as the RGM-1976 Spartan, RX-1982 Taurus and RX-1991 Corsair.
5) RGM-1976 SPARTAN GM-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 18.5 Meters. Fighting Weight: 50.5 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Power Output: 1300 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 6K Meters. Weapon(s): 60mm Vulcan Gun, 2x Beam Sabers, 1x Shield, 1x Hyper Bazooka and 1x Beam Rifle. Designed and soon mass-produced by Yatate Enterprises specifically for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Spartan GM is the most common form of mobile suit used by CDEF rank and file. Its standard frame is readily adaptable to every manner of modification into mission-specific Spartan models, and holds a fairly high level of mobility, for the time, both on Earth and in space. Many Spartans are used as trainer crafts for Mobile Suit pilots, which make it easier for non-Newtype CDEF officers to join the fray. But their lighter titanium armor is less durable than the Gundams.
6) RX-1961 TAURUS GUNTANK-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 15.3 Meters. Fighting Weight: 68 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Power Output: 900 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 6K Meters. Weapon(s): 2x 120mm Low-Recoil Cannons and 2x 4-tube 40mm Arm Missile Launchers. Designed and built by Yatate Enterprises especially for the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force, the Taurus Guntanks possess the torso and arms of a mobile suit, but use caterpillar treads for their legs. Serving as CDEF's ground superiority units, the Taurus' design prioritizes durability over mobility and precludes the use of melee weapons. While it is less agile and mobile than other mobile suits, a Guntank is still useful with its array of shell-firing cannons that can penetrate heavy armor of any Imperium forces. Many are designed around a crew complement of a primary drivepilot and gunner.
7) CMS-07 SOMU-TYPE MOBILE SUIT - Height: 18.45 Meters. Fighting Weight: 67.5 metric tons. Power Plant: Minovsky-Ionesco Ultracompact Fusion Reactor. Raw Power Output: 1100 kilowatts. Sensor Range: 4K Meters. Weapon(s): 1x Shield, 1x 105mm Callisto Machine Gun, 1x Callisto Hyper Bazooka and 1x Heat Sword. The mainstay of the Imperium of Callisto; the Somu-type Mobile Suit is faster, more durable and versatile than a great many of its forbears in CDEF in spite of their vast numbers contributing to their disposable nature. Many high-ranking commanders in Callisto forces use custom-painted and custom-armed variants as an expression of storied victories over many adversaries like Maxx Zaldivar's Crimson Serpent. Curiously, Aubrey's secret Newtype benefactor pilots his own modified Somu with its Beam Sword in a striking color scheme that allows for infiltration of Callisto ranks and sabotage.
PRIMARY ANTAGONISTS - IMPERIUM OF CALLISTO (ă«ăȘăčăăźćžćœ)
1) IMPERATOR PIETRO VON VIDMAR (çćž ăăšăă ăă©ăł ăŽăŁăăăŒ) â - Age: 35. Total Height: 6'3.5". Hair: Silver. Eyes: Blue. In short and at most charitable, Pietro is best described as ambitious, underhanded, overconfident, and a feared motivator. As the essential leader of Callisto, Pietro belittles the dwindling power of his siblings and continuously schemes to turn the Solar War into a total war. He and his siblings Elise and Tobias are constantly at odds with each other as the three possess similar political goals but different methods with some of the rank and file pushing to fall behind Maxx Zaldivar. Over the course of the War as both Solar Wing and Pilgrim Squadron inflict devastating losses on Callisto forces, Pietro expects he will be betrayed and schemes to find the Newtype Gundam pilot Aubrey Zuleger so his forces break her. Even so, he'll have to get past Zaldivar's own obsession with the CDEF's rising star.
2) MAXX ZALDIVAR (ă¶ă«ăăŁăăŒ ăăăŻăč) â - Age: 21. Height: 5'10". Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Crimson Serpent". Maxx is always seen dressed in his red Callisto uniform and mostly wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to conceal his real identity. Maxx's personality is a mix of passion, charisma, pride, vengefulness and charm. Perhaps his most dominant characteristic is charisma, which makes him a genuine leader. Maxxâs skill as a pilot combined with his charisma cause many people to respect and willingly follow his command, while instilling fear in his opponents. A rival for dominant characteristic is Maxx's tendency to hold deep grudges - such as towards Callisto's Imperator Von Vidmar for the slaughter of his family and friends, as well as both Tobias and Aubrey Zuleger for their defeats of him in Mobile Suit combat throughout the ongoing War.
3) ELISE VON VIDMAR (ăšăȘăŒăŒ ăă©ăł ăŽăŁăăăŒ) â - Age: 25. Height: 5'8". Hair: Red. Eyes: Green. Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Verde Eagle". Elise is seen dressed in a green Callisto uniform and also wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to show her identification with some of Maxx Zaldivar's ideals. Elise had both political and military ambitions at a young age and will try to establish military and political channels both on her own and with her brother Tobias in order to compete with their elder brother Pietro over who should have the right to rule the Solar System if Callisto is victorious. Using Mobile Suits and Newtypes to her advantage as Maxx suggests, Elise is playing her elder brother into a trap for him to fail and her to become the new Imperator. That is not to say she lacks traits that aren't admirable. She's been known to be heartfelt and honest with troops she will lead.
4) ILHAN ILSUNG (ă€ă«ăăł ă€ă«ăœăł) â - Age: 35. Height: 6'2". Hair: Brown. Eyes: Brown. Commanding Officer of the Callisto Imperium's Flagship Mobile Suit Carrier Babylon, Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Silver Bullet". Ilhan is sometimes seen dressed in a yellow Callisto uniform and wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to show his identification with some of Maxx Zaldivar's ideals. Having seen the Von Vidmar patriarchy's cruelty firsthand in the assassination of Callisto Zaldivar, Ilhan and his wife Xenia Sutherland smuggled young Maxx to freedom and trained him in piloting Mobile Suits while giving him a good education so he could avenge his family against Imperator Pietro. An experienced agent and officer, Ilhan never has a foul mood towards any of the men serving under him so long as a code of ethics he instills is followed. He only fights so Callisto colonies can live in freedom.
5) TOBIAS VON VIDMAR (ăăăąăč ăă©ăł ăŽăŁăăăŒ) â - Age: 21. Hair: Brown. Eyes: Blue. Pilot of the Custom CMS-07 Somu-type Mobile Suit "Azure Ghost". Tobias is sometimes seen outfitted in his blue Callisto uniform and wears a Callisto commander helmet with goggles to show his identification with some of Maxx Zaldivar's ideals. Among one of the more moral and nobler members of the Callisto Imperium, Tobias is shrewd enough to ally with his sister Elise and Maxx Zaldivar against their brother Pietro. On the other hand, he is young and very beautiful in a feminine way which makes him both the envy and goal of every female officer in the Callisto Imperial Military. He is one of the few who shows equal respect to each of his officers be they normal or Newtype. Very few in the Imperium know that Tobias is in fact the mysterious benefactor who has been watching out for Aubrey since they were little kids.

Little do Pilgrim Squadron, Solar Wing or the Commonwealth Defense and Exploration Force know that Pietro Von Vidmar survived the assassination attempt against him. Pietro finds his mighty Imperium of Callisto falling due to Newtypes and ordinary humans finally combining into an alliance to destroy his pure Universe. Pilgrim Squadron and Solar Wing fly into battle one more time alongside Tobias and Elise to stop Pietro from crashing the new Neo Shinjuku colony into Earth. This main story is both book-ended and interrupted by a future plot which involves Solar Wing and Pilgrim Squadron's members and their families catching back up on the old days with an older Aubrey, her children and grandchildren. The older Aubrey is lucky to be by her friends' sides again ever since Tobias died in the last battle. Now, Aubrey too has to set her final affairs in order having risen above her abusive childhood to gain a happier life.

2023.03.24 03:46 wdbrim2020 30 [M4F] Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Killarney, Galway)
Howdy r4r ! I will be traveling to the Ăire for the first time next month and would love meet up with someone fun in one or more of my stops. I will mostly be in the southwest and west part of the country, but Iâll be covering almost the whole island! I am partial to finding a fun Irish girl (what can I say, Iâm a sucker for the accent!), but I would love to meet up with a fun group of friends for a few pints! Iâm mostly just looking to immerse myself with locals while I am there. Iâll be spending as much time as I can in the mountains and on the coast hiking and reading and taking pictures, but I have planned to be in town almost every evening to experience the âcraic!â DM me if you are interested in helping an American lad get the full Irish experience!

2023.03.24 03:26 fractalfay Speaking of secretos: Recap of 90DF The Other Way S04E07
Gabe and Isabel have nearly enough characters in their tale to warrant a spin-off series, so time to crowd the stage and introduce Gabeâs stunt-friend Trey.
âWhatâs the point of me again?â Trey needs clarification over basketball. âHow did we meet?â
âI heard you speaking English?â Gabe tries. âOh, Iâm trans. That and not knowing you is why I didnât add you on social media.â
âWhoa! And you want to marry this girl?â Trey remembers his lines. âI mean, you should pause and think about it. Do you really want to be with someone who loves and accepts you?â
âYes?â Gabe isnât sure Trey is living up to the fake-friend promise.
âWell I would slow down, and definitely donât ask for her hand in marriage and reveal the trans thing on the same visit with the parents,â Trey advises. âEvery sitcom gives you 30 minutes to chew on a coming-out before the wedding episode, and this show is like a thousand minutes long.â
âYeah, but the cameras make it a bit safer,â Gabe has a point.
âDid that stop River from lamp-smacking Pedro?â Trey has three points!
Gabe remains resolved so Trey takes his doubt on the road and meets up with Gabe and Isabel at a spot where they usually bro-out doing man things like smashing stuff with their beef-mitts in front of tits. Isabel does her best to believe Gabe has a second-life as a nomadic womanizer without guffawing. Perhaps the fake business and the real surgeries and actual families provide sufficient drama without the need for Treyâs services?
âIâm afraid not,â production has notes. âNormally, yes, but weâve got a LOT of sad white women this season. Without these two, itâs basically crying and Nicole looking like she wants to return to the sea.â
âSpeaking of secretos,â Trey isnât ready to abandon the spotlight just yet. âHow about that trans business? Did you know about this, Isabella?â
âReally?â Isabel wonât last much longer.
âItâs Isabel,â Mateo, Isabelâs friend, manifests like Danieleâs watching.
âDid YOU know about this?â Trey needs to ask this some more. âThis culture es muy machismo. Mucho cheesimo. Muy.â
âMuy confuso,â MâHog agrees.
âColombia is more progressive than Alabama,â Jeymi has been talking to Kris. âAre any of you even armed right now?â
Gabe gets a bit worried when Isabel mentions her dad being religious, since the bulk of Gabeâs daily hate comes from trolls and people who use religion to justify bigotry. All the same, the whole family prepares to head to Isabelâs parentsâ house for a few days, with Miguel taking on the turtle-transport task like someone who wants his reptiles to live. The parents are excited to see them, and report endorsing Gabe as a partner, since he has a good heart and a âspecial disposition to love Isabel.â After greeting and asking about sleeping arrangements, dad says Gabe will sleep in separate quarters since heâs a guest.
âOh, Iâm not a virgin,â Isabel breaks the news to them gently, hiding Miguel behind her back.
âMore secretos!â Trey wonât leave.
They sit down to eat, and ask Gabe how Colombian food measures against American cuisine, and Gabe reports food in Miami is just deep-fried golf balls, and Colombian food has ingredients. Gabe adds that heâs calling Colombia home now, to further his relationship with Isabel. Dad canât help but smile when Gabe mentions wanting to be with her his whole life, and the grandparents quiz the kids to make sure theyâre on board with this plan. Miguel shrugs his support, while daughter says that sheâs happy when her mom is happy.
âIf God is not in our lives it wonât work out,â dad adds ominously.
âOkay,â Gabe is scared. âBy God do you mean like God-God, or like red Starbucks cup God, or just-cover-your-body-and-serve-me God, orâŠâ
Jenâs been trying to leave India since her plane landed, and this time tells Rishi sheâs not keen to join the family home.
âOkay,â Rishi says.
âReally?â Jen looks for the fire exits.
As a compromise, Jen allows Rishi more time to tell his family heâll be booing-up with the weird white lady who talks to them like theyâre feral children communicating with claps.
Jenâs creeping up on 30 days in India, and she learned watching Jennyâs 23 seasons that all thatâs required to stretch a visa to four months is leaving every 30 days. She rolls into a lawyerâs office with one week to spare and no fucks to give about the cost of airfare, to see how far she needs to go to be far enough from India to avoid offending the country.
âYou do not have the google?â the lawyer is understandably stunned this is happening.
âI have two mastersâ degrees, and havenât read since,â Jen explains. Then she tells the lawyer and his paternal supervisor that sheâs engaged, and would like to remain in India as God allows.
âWhy do they keep trying to drag me into this?â God is exhausted.
The lawyer asks to see her visa, so Jen surrenders her phone.
âWhen are you getting married?â the lawyer asks, scanning her photos for nudes.
âHe hasnât told his family yet,â Jen TMIâs.
âSo never,â the lawyer shrugs. âYouâre going to need another tourist visa.â
âBUT!â
âThis is your phone, correct?â the lawyer is over it. âDo you see where it says ânumber of entriesâ? The answer to your riddle lies here.â
âWhaaaaa? I thought âsingleâ was my marital status!â
âThis is crazy American behavior,â the lawyer is a touch too on-the-nose.
âLook, this is my fucking livelihood,â Camera #1 needs the lawyer to know what sheâs been through. âJust wait until we leave to laugh like everyone else, and focus on distributing doom!â
Jen insists that nothing worth doing has ever been hard, and a life-changing decision should demand minimal effort.
âItâs like, message received, universe!â Jen cries.
âThat wasnât me,â the Universe chimes in.
âMaybe this is God telling me to stop trying to make this work,â Jen sobs.
âWhen did you start trying?â God is with the Universe on this one.
Jenâs got to tell Rishi this news in front of the chai-guy, and leaves out the part where this information was readily available to her the entire time. Rishi looks like he just took a kick from Oussamaâs donkey, and neither of them are ready to get married in just a month, but they donât want to break up. Tears happen.
âWould anyone like some more chai?â the chai-guy feels helpless.
Debbie and Oussama leave the airport for Rabat, and Oussama wastes no time sharing what every Arabic man tells their non-Muslim western-would-be-wife on this show, so do I even have to type it? Debbie thinks sheâs already sacrificed enough by agreeing to like-button his facebook poetry, and Oussama requests she just learn to be â40% of a Moroccan housewifeâ â and Moroccan housewives work hard.
âI thought hard work kills the creativity?â Debbie needs to understand thereâs two different standards at play here. âIâve already worked hard my entire life. When do you start?â
Still, Debbie says sheâll warm to the idea if their food is primarily take-out and they agree to get fucked up on wine on the regular. Oussama notes that this is fine, they just canât drink at the house.
âIt makes the angels go outside of the home and makes the devil come inside,â Oussama explains how booze works.
âFinally, a fucking invite!â the devil has been waiting for this moment.
âIs that how you got this way?â Debbie starts putting the pieces in place. âCan we slough them off at a brew pub somewhere, or is this an exorcism situation? Do you have an ancient box I can twirl in my hands?â
Debbie colors this whole turn bizarre, and so she anticipates walking out the same 100% Debbie she was when she walked in.
âI need a drink just thinking about it,â Debbie laughs.
âNo, this will be fine,â Oussama reads from his *PUA Handbook for Muslim Men Marrying Western Women for Lulz.* âMy word is final. Old American women have so much dumb.â
âExcuse me! Did he say old?â Jen has an issue here.
âMe not old,â Memphis wants to be included.
âI donât know what youâre talking about, so Iâm packing, and Iâm leaving,â Nicole does her part.
âI donât know Oussama,â Debbieâs destined for reality tv. âItâs starting to sound like you plan to fuck around and find out.â
They arrive at a gorgeous inn with brilliant decor and architecture, and Debbie marvels at its beauty, before suggesting Oussama might want to be 20% a gentleman and give her back a fucking break and get the bags. God takes revenge on Oussama for suggesting Debbie dilute herself and brains him on his way out of her room.
âHe just clotheslined himself bad!â Debbie laughs along with God, who takes full responsibility.
âMy neck,â Kris feels it all the way in Colombia.
Debbie puts her stuff away and thinks sheâs been left no choice but to remind Oussama of her majesty through jewelry. She makes her grand entrance in a flowing dress, and wants to finalize a few things, since Oussama has already written 40% of her identity out of the story. She asks how long they plan to stay with his parents, and Oussama assures her that she wonât be there long at all, but heâll probably be there until the planet dies.
âSo wait, where am I going to be when the planet dies?â
âDead,â Oussama hopes this clears things up.
âWhat if it dies in three months? Where will I be then?â
âOh, in America,â Oussama thinks she asks a lot of questions, and he swears he explained his policy about cats>humans.
âBut Iâm wearing a lionâs head,â she directs his attention.
Debbie thinks this information might have been more useful prior to packing, and Oussama says he knew she wouldnât come then, so as you can see, this deception is fine. Debbie is gobsmacked, and reports the last time she was there he practically floored it to the courthouse, and now heâs demanding a two-month trial run and a return to Georgia before he weighs his options a second time.
âYou sure screwed up Oussama,â Debbie sadly shakes her head. âHell is empty and all the devils are here.â
With that Debbie takes her leave, and vows to get in a quick camel ride and replenish her bead collection before returning to the House of Wonders that has managed to remain enchanted without her.
The Four Day Torment of Kris is ready for Chapter Exhausted, and the box of pills and magic shot have narcolepsied Kris into a denim-coma, granting Jeymi a chance to escape this tit-pillow prison. She asks Kris if she still wants to take photos on the backs of horses wearing cowboy hats, or if itâs cool for her to change out of this outfit, and Kris says Jeymi should go it alone while she face-plants and listens to âRing of Fireâ on repeat. With that, Jeymi scurries off to meet with friends Alex and Leo.
âHELP ME!â She screams as she runs into the restaurant.
âDID SHE FOLLOW YOU?â Alex and Leo need to know this first.
Jeymi says that somewhere Krisâ car-accident total rose to four, one for each day sheâs spent in Colombia, and one of these accidents resulted in a neck injury so confusing that it somehow feels better smashed sideways into a moosh pillow.
âKris also said it would be better if you didnât meet her before weâre already married,â Jeymi frowns.
âHas she been in jail?â Alex has a wager heâs looking to settle. âIs she there now?â
âDoes she think everything south of Texas is Mexico?â Leo has a bet of his own. âIs Tucker Carlson her president?â
They tell Jeymi this is why their original advice was to leave her at the airport, and she interjects that Kris is going back there soon enough anyway.
âBecause sheâs going to jail?â Alex isnât letting his theory dissolve, but is willing to wait.
Nicole waffles around the house in search of a storyline other than clothing, and settles on slow-motion ironing, which is still clothing, and another reason to be late to Mahmoudâs uncleâs house. Uncle owns a garment factory, and Mahmoud and Nicole think they can turn her designs into a family business, once theyâre married to other people. For reasons known only to Mahmoud, he believes this sojourn to the next House of Judgment will relax Nicole.
âI feel that once she sees my aunt completely covered with only her eyes exposed, sheâll understand how respectful this is,â Mahmoud says things.
Nicoleâs welcomed into the house, and they share her sketches with the family, while Nicole describes a strange, isolated hamlet of America where women are restricted to short sleeves and skirts with nary a pant to be found.
âWhat?â Every clothing shop from LA to NYC has questions.
Uncle Fashion reports that Nicoleâs designs are a good start, but theyâre not quite a burqa yet, and heâs wondering when Mahmoud is going to brainwash Nicole into thinking a similar outfit is her own idea. Nicole thinks this is a very personal question, and thought she made it clear sheâs there for a business opportunity. Uncle says if she hadnât converted and somehow fallen into the strictest circle of religious Egypt this wouldnât be a thing. Mahmoud tells them that Nicole doesnât understand the purpose of the hijab, or any facet of the religion beyond the single sentence she willingly recited prior to nuptials, but heâs made a point to repeatedly bring it up while speaking of nothing else. Uncle retorts that the clothing is not the most important part, the praying is, and Nicole says that Mahmoud still has to teach her this.
âIâm having a crisis of faith,â Nicole describes losing something she never had. âI still need to iron it and find the shoes to match.â
âTrust me, praying is more important than the clothes,â Uncle insists.
âNot to Mahmoud!â Nicole objects.
âThere are books that could answer a lot of these questionsâŠâ God tries.
âI was not told there would be reading!â Nicole objects again.
âRight?!â Jenâs on board.
STILL TO COME THIS SEASON: Kris and Jeymi commit love crimes in front of astonished witnesses, Jen travels through time towards her actual age, Nicole dresses like a lady-sperm on an important ovarian quest, Gabe shares his secrets with Isabelâs family, Daniele goes snorkeling for new complaints, and Yohan finds an excuse to reference the baby-arm in his pants.

âWhatâs the point of me again?â Trey needs clarification over basketball. âHow did we meet?â
âI heard you speaking English?â Gabe tries. âOh, Iâm trans. That and not knowing you is why I didnât add you on social media.â
âWhoa! And you want to marry this girl?â Trey remembers his lines. âI mean, you should pause and think about it. Do you really want to be with someone who loves and accepts you?â
âYes?â Gabe isnât sure Trey is living up to the fake-friend promise.
âWell I would slow down, and definitely donât ask for her hand in marriage and reveal the trans thing on the same visit with the parents,â Trey advises. âEvery sitcom gives you 30 minutes to chew on a coming-out before the wedding episode, and this show is like a thousand minutes long.â
âYeah, but the cameras make it a bit safer,â Gabe has a point.
âDid that stop River from lamp-smacking Pedro?â Trey has three points!
Gabe remains resolved so Trey takes his doubt on the road and meets up with Gabe and Isabel at a spot where they usually bro-out doing man things like smashing stuff with their beef-mitts in front of tits. Isabel does her best to believe Gabe has a second-life as a nomadic womanizer without guffawing. Perhaps the fake business and the real surgeries and actual families provide sufficient drama without the need for Treyâs services?
âIâm afraid not,â production has notes. âNormally, yes, but weâve got a LOT of sad white women this season. Without these two, itâs basically crying and Nicole looking like she wants to return to the sea.â
âSpeaking of secretos,â Trey isnât ready to abandon the spotlight just yet. âHow about that trans business? Did you know about this, Isabella?â
âReally?â Isabel wonât last much longer.
âItâs Isabel,â Mateo, Isabelâs friend, manifests like Danieleâs watching.
âDid YOU know about this?â Trey needs to ask this some more. âThis culture es muy machismo. Mucho cheesimo. Muy.â
âMuy confuso,â MâHog agrees.
âColombia is more progressive than Alabama,â Jeymi has been talking to Kris. âAre any of you even armed right now?â
Gabe gets a bit worried when Isabel mentions her dad being religious, since the bulk of Gabeâs daily hate comes from trolls and people who use religion to justify bigotry. All the same, the whole family prepares to head to Isabelâs parentsâ house for a few days, with Miguel taking on the turtle-transport task like someone who wants his reptiles to live. The parents are excited to see them, and report endorsing Gabe as a partner, since he has a good heart and a âspecial disposition to love Isabel.â After greeting and asking about sleeping arrangements, dad says Gabe will sleep in separate quarters since heâs a guest.
âOh, Iâm not a virgin,â Isabel breaks the news to them gently, hiding Miguel behind her back.
âMore secretos!â Trey wonât leave.
They sit down to eat, and ask Gabe how Colombian food measures against American cuisine, and Gabe reports food in Miami is just deep-fried golf balls, and Colombian food has ingredients. Gabe adds that heâs calling Colombia home now, to further his relationship with Isabel. Dad canât help but smile when Gabe mentions wanting to be with her his whole life, and the grandparents quiz the kids to make sure theyâre on board with this plan. Miguel shrugs his support, while daughter says that sheâs happy when her mom is happy.
âIf God is not in our lives it wonât work out,â dad adds ominously.
âOkay,â Gabe is scared. âBy God do you mean like God-God, or like red Starbucks cup God, or just-cover-your-body-and-serve-me God, orâŠâ
Jenâs been trying to leave India since her plane landed, and this time tells Rishi sheâs not keen to join the family home.
âOkay,â Rishi says.
âReally?â Jen looks for the fire exits.
As a compromise, Jen allows Rishi more time to tell his family heâll be booing-up with the weird white lady who talks to them like theyâre feral children communicating with claps.
Jenâs creeping up on 30 days in India, and she learned watching Jennyâs 23 seasons that all thatâs required to stretch a visa to four months is leaving every 30 days. She rolls into a lawyerâs office with one week to spare and no fucks to give about the cost of airfare, to see how far she needs to go to be far enough from India to avoid offending the country.
âYou do not have the google?â the lawyer is understandably stunned this is happening.
âI have two mastersâ degrees, and havenât read since,â Jen explains. Then she tells the lawyer and his paternal supervisor that sheâs engaged, and would like to remain in India as God allows.
âWhy do they keep trying to drag me into this?â God is exhausted.
The lawyer asks to see her visa, so Jen surrenders her phone.
âWhen are you getting married?â the lawyer asks, scanning her photos for nudes.
âHe hasnât told his family yet,â Jen TMIâs.
âSo never,â the lawyer shrugs. âYouâre going to need another tourist visa.â
âBUT!â
âThis is your phone, correct?â the lawyer is over it. âDo you see where it says ânumber of entriesâ? The answer to your riddle lies here.â
âWhaaaaa? I thought âsingleâ was my marital status!â
âThis is crazy American behavior,â the lawyer is a touch too on-the-nose.
âLook, this is my fucking livelihood,â Camera #1 needs the lawyer to know what sheâs been through. âJust wait until we leave to laugh like everyone else, and focus on distributing doom!â
Jen insists that nothing worth doing has ever been hard, and a life-changing decision should demand minimal effort.
âItâs like, message received, universe!â Jen cries.
âThat wasnât me,â the Universe chimes in.
âMaybe this is God telling me to stop trying to make this work,â Jen sobs.
âWhen did you start trying?â God is with the Universe on this one.
Jenâs got to tell Rishi this news in front of the chai-guy, and leaves out the part where this information was readily available to her the entire time. Rishi looks like he just took a kick from Oussamaâs donkey, and neither of them are ready to get married in just a month, but they donât want to break up. Tears happen.
âWould anyone like some more chai?â the chai-guy feels helpless.
Debbie and Oussama leave the airport for Rabat, and Oussama wastes no time sharing what every Arabic man tells their non-Muslim western-would-be-wife on this show, so do I even have to type it? Debbie thinks sheâs already sacrificed enough by agreeing to like-button his facebook poetry, and Oussama requests she just learn to be â40% of a Moroccan housewifeâ â and Moroccan housewives work hard.
âI thought hard work kills the creativity?â Debbie needs to understand thereâs two different standards at play here. âIâve already worked hard my entire life. When do you start?â
Still, Debbie says sheâll warm to the idea if their food is primarily take-out and they agree to get fucked up on wine on the regular. Oussama notes that this is fine, they just canât drink at the house.
âIt makes the angels go outside of the home and makes the devil come inside,â Oussama explains how booze works.
âFinally, a fucking invite!â the devil has been waiting for this moment.
âIs that how you got this way?â Debbie starts putting the pieces in place. âCan we slough them off at a brew pub somewhere, or is this an exorcism situation? Do you have an ancient box I can twirl in my hands?â
Debbie colors this whole turn bizarre, and so she anticipates walking out the same 100% Debbie she was when she walked in.
âI need a drink just thinking about it,â Debbie laughs.
âNo, this will be fine,â Oussama reads from his *PUA Handbook for Muslim Men Marrying Western Women for Lulz.* âMy word is final. Old American women have so much dumb.â
âExcuse me! Did he say old?â Jen has an issue here.
âMe not old,â Memphis wants to be included.
âI donât know what youâre talking about, so Iâm packing, and Iâm leaving,â Nicole does her part.
âI donât know Oussama,â Debbieâs destined for reality tv. âItâs starting to sound like you plan to fuck around and find out.â
They arrive at a gorgeous inn with brilliant decor and architecture, and Debbie marvels at its beauty, before suggesting Oussama might want to be 20% a gentleman and give her back a fucking break and get the bags. God takes revenge on Oussama for suggesting Debbie dilute herself and brains him on his way out of her room.
âHe just clotheslined himself bad!â Debbie laughs along with God, who takes full responsibility.
âMy neck,â Kris feels it all the way in Colombia.
Debbie puts her stuff away and thinks sheâs been left no choice but to remind Oussama of her majesty through jewelry. She makes her grand entrance in a flowing dress, and wants to finalize a few things, since Oussama has already written 40% of her identity out of the story. She asks how long they plan to stay with his parents, and Oussama assures her that she wonât be there long at all, but heâll probably be there until the planet dies.
âSo wait, where am I going to be when the planet dies?â
âDead,â Oussama hopes this clears things up.
âWhat if it dies in three months? Where will I be then?â
âOh, in America,â Oussama thinks she asks a lot of questions, and he swears he explained his policy about cats>humans.
âBut Iâm wearing a lionâs head,â she directs his attention.
Debbie thinks this information might have been more useful prior to packing, and Oussama says he knew she wouldnât come then, so as you can see, this deception is fine. Debbie is gobsmacked, and reports the last time she was there he practically floored it to the courthouse, and now heâs demanding a two-month trial run and a return to Georgia before he weighs his options a second time.
âYou sure screwed up Oussama,â Debbie sadly shakes her head. âHell is empty and all the devils are here.â
With that Debbie takes her leave, and vows to get in a quick camel ride and replenish her bead collection before returning to the House of Wonders that has managed to remain enchanted without her.
The Four Day Torment of Kris is ready for Chapter Exhausted, and the box of pills and magic shot have narcolepsied Kris into a denim-coma, granting Jeymi a chance to escape this tit-pillow prison. She asks Kris if she still wants to take photos on the backs of horses wearing cowboy hats, or if itâs cool for her to change out of this outfit, and Kris says Jeymi should go it alone while she face-plants and listens to âRing of Fireâ on repeat. With that, Jeymi scurries off to meet with friends Alex and Leo.
âHELP ME!â She screams as she runs into the restaurant.
âDID SHE FOLLOW YOU?â Alex and Leo need to know this first.
Jeymi says that somewhere Krisâ car-accident total rose to four, one for each day sheâs spent in Colombia, and one of these accidents resulted in a neck injury so confusing that it somehow feels better smashed sideways into a moosh pillow.
âKris also said it would be better if you didnât meet her before weâre already married,â Jeymi frowns.
âHas she been in jail?â Alex has a wager heâs looking to settle. âIs she there now?â
âDoes she think everything south of Texas is Mexico?â Leo has a bet of his own. âIs Tucker Carlson her president?â
They tell Jeymi this is why their original advice was to leave her at the airport, and she interjects that Kris is going back there soon enough anyway.
âBecause sheâs going to jail?â Alex isnât letting his theory dissolve, but is willing to wait.
Nicole waffles around the house in search of a storyline other than clothing, and settles on slow-motion ironing, which is still clothing, and another reason to be late to Mahmoudâs uncleâs house. Uncle owns a garment factory, and Mahmoud and Nicole think they can turn her designs into a family business, once theyâre married to other people. For reasons known only to Mahmoud, he believes this sojourn to the next House of Judgment will relax Nicole.

2023.03.24 03:25 fractalfay Speaking of secretos: Recap of 90DFTOW S04E07
Gabe and Isabel have nearly enough characters in their tale to warrant a spin-off series, so time to crowd the stage and introduce Gabeâs stunt-friend Trey.
âWhatâs the point of me again?â Trey needs clarification over basketball. âHow did we meet?â
âI heard you speaking English?â Gabe tries. âOh, Iâm trans. That and not knowing you is why I didnât add you on social media.â
âWhoa! And you want to marry this girl?â Trey remembers his lines. âI mean, you should pause and think about it. Do you really want to be with someone who loves and accepts you?â

âDid YOU know about this?â Trey needs to ask this some more. âThis culture es muy machismo. Mucho cheesimo. Muy.â
âMuy confuso,â MâHog agrees.
âColombia is more progressive than Alabama,â Jeymi has been talking to Kris. âAre any of you even armed right now?â
Gabe gets a bit worried when Isabel mentions her dad being religious, since the bulk of Gabeâs daily hate comes from trolls and people who use religion to justify bigotry. All the same, the whole family prepares to head to Isabelâs parentsâ house for a few days, with Miguel taking on the turtle-transport task like someone who wants his reptiles to live. The parents are excited to see them, and report endorsing Gabe as a partner, since he has a good heart and a âspecial disposition to love Isabel.â After greeting and asking about sleeping arrangements, dad says Gabe will sleep in separate quarters since heâs a guest.
âOh, Iâm not a virgin,â Isabel breaks the news to them gently, hiding Miguel behind her back.
âMore secretos!â Trey wonât leave.
They sit down to eat, and ask Gabe how Colombian food measures against American cuisine, and Gabe reports food in Miami is just deep-fried golf balls, and Colombian food has ingredients. Gabe adds that heâs calling Colombia home now, to further his relationship with Isabel. Dad canât help but smile when Gabe mentions wanting to be with her his whole life, and the grandparents quiz the kids to make sure theyâre on board with this plan. Miguel shrugs his support, while daughter says that sheâs happy when her mom is happy.
âIf God is not in our lives it wonât work out,â dad adds ominously.
âOkay,â Gabe is scared. âBy God do you mean like God-God, or like red Starbucks cup God, or just-cover-your-body-and-serve-me God, orâŠâ
Jenâs been trying to leave India since her plane landed, and this time tells Rishi sheâs not keen to join the family home.
âOkay,â Rishi says.
âReally?â Jen looks for the fire exits.
As a compromise, Jen allows Rishi more time to tell his family heâll be booing-up with the weird white lady who talks to them like theyâre feral children communicating with claps.
Jenâs creeping up on 30 days in India, and she learned watching Jennyâs 23 seasons that all thatâs required to stretch a visa to four months is leaving every 30 days. She rolls into a lawyerâs office with one week to spare and no fucks to give about the cost of airfare, to see how far she needs to go to be far enough from India to avoid offending the country.
âYou do not have the google?â the lawyer is understandably stunned this is happening.
âI have two mastersâ degrees, and havenât read since,â Jen explains. Then she tells the lawyer and his paternal supervisor that sheâs engaged, and would like to remain in India as God allows.
âWhy do they keep trying to drag me into this?â God is exhausted.
The lawyer asks to see her visa, so Jen surrenders her phone.
âWhen are you getting married?â the lawyer asks, scanning her photos for nudes.
âHe hasnât told his family yet,â Jen TMIâs.
âSo never,â the lawyer shrugs. âYouâre going to need another tourist visa.â
âBUT!â
âThis is your phone, correct?â the lawyer is over it. âDo you see where it says ânumber of entriesâ? The answer to your riddle lies here.â
âWhaaaaa? I thought âsingleâ was my marital status!â
âThis is crazy American behavior,â the lawyer is a touch too on-the-nose.
âLook, this is my fucking livelihood,â Camera #1 needs the lawyer to know what sheâs been through. âJust wait until we leave to laugh like everyone else, and focus on distributing doom!â
Jen insists that nothing worth doing has ever been hard, and a life-changing decision should demand minimal effort.
âItâs like, message received, universe!â Jen cries.
âThat wasnât me,â the Universe chimes in.
âMaybe this is God telling me to stop trying to make this work,â Jen sobs.
âWhen did you start trying?â God is with the Universe on this one.
Jenâs got to tell Rishi this news in front of the chai-guy, and leaves out the part where this information was readily available to her the entire time. Rishi looks like he just took a kick from Oussamaâs donkey, and neither of them are ready to get married in just a month, but they donât want to break up. Tears happen.
âWould anyone like some more chai?â the chai-guy feels helpless.
Debbie and Oussama leave the airport for Rabat, and Oussama wastes no time sharing what every Arabic man tells their non-Muslim western-would-be-wife on this show, so do I even have to type it? Debbie thinks sheâs already sacrificed enough by agreeing to like-button his facebook poetry, and Oussama requests she just learn to be â40% of a Moroccan housewifeâ â and Moroccan housewives work hard.
âI thought hard work kills the creativity?â Debbie needs to understand thereâs two different standards at play here. âIâve already worked hard my entire life. When do you start?â
Still, Debbie says sheâll warm to the idea if their food is primarily take-out and they agree to get fucked up on wine on the regular. Oussama notes that this is fine, they just canât drink at the house.
âIt makes the angels go outside of the home and makes the devil come inside,â Oussama explains how booze works.
âFinally, a fucking invite!â the devil has been waiting for this moment.
âIs that how you got this way?â Debbie starts putting the pieces in place. âCan we slough them off at a brew pub somewhere, or is this an exorcism situation? Do you have an ancient box I can twirl in my hands?â
Debbie colors this whole turn bizarre, and so she anticipates walking out the same 100% Debbie she was when she walked in.
âI need a drink just thinking about it,â Debbie laughs.
âNo, this will be fine,â Oussama reads from his *PUA Handbook for Muslim Men Marrying Western Women for Lulz.* âMy word is final. Old American women have so much dumb.â
âExcuse me! Did he say old?â Jen has an issue here.
âMe not old,â Memphis wants to be included.
âI donât know what youâre talking about, so Iâm packing, and Iâm leaving,â Nicole does her part.
âI donât know Oussama,â Debbieâs destined for reality tv. âItâs starting to sound like you plan to fuck around and find out.â
They arrive at a gorgeous inn with brilliant decor and architecture, and Debbie marvels at its beauty, before suggesting Oussama might want to be 20% a gentleman and give her back a fucking break and get the bags. God takes revenge on Oussama for suggesting Debbie dilute herself and brains him on his way out of her room.
âHe just clotheslined himself bad!â Debbie laughs along with God, who takes full responsibility.
âMy neck,â Kris feels it all the way in Colombia.
Debbie puts her stuff away and thinks sheâs been left no choice but to remind Oussama of her majesty through jewelry. She makes her grand entrance in a flowing dress, and wants to finalize a few things, since Oussama has already written 40% of her identity out of the story. She asks how long they plan to stay with his parents, and Oussama assures her that she wonât be there long at all, but heâll probably be there until the planet dies.
âSo wait, where am I going to be when the planet dies?â
âDead,â Oussama hopes this clears things up.
âWhat if it dies in three months? Where will I be then?â
âOh, in America,â Oussama thinks she asks a lot of questions, and he swears he explained his policy about cats>humans.
âBut Iâm wearing a lionâs head,â she directs his attention.
Debbie thinks this information might have been more useful prior to packing, and Oussama says he knew she wouldnât come then, so as you can see, this deception is fine. Debbie is gobsmacked, and reports the last time she was there he practically floored it to the courthouse, and now heâs demanding a two-month trial run and a return to Georgia before he weighs his options a second time.
âYou sure screwed up Oussama,â Debbie sadly shakes her head. âHell is empty and all the devils are here.â
With that Debbie takes her leave, and vows to get in a quick camel ride and replenish her bead collection before returning to the House of Wonders that has managed to remain enchanted without her.
The Four Day Torment of Kris is ready for Chapter Exhausted, and the box of pills and magic shot have narcolepsied Kris into a denim-coma, granting Jeymi a chance to escape this tit-pillow prison. She asks Kris if she still wants to take photos on the backs of horses wearing cowboy hats, or if itâs cool for her to change out of this outfit, and Kris says Jeymi should go it alone while she face-plants and listens to âRing of Fireâ on repeat. With that, Jeymi scurries off to meet with friends Alex and Leo.
âHELP ME!â She screams as she runs into the restaurant.
âDID SHE FOLLOW YOU?â Alex and Leo need to know this first.
Jeymi says that somewhere Krisâ car-accident total rose to four, one for each day sheâs spent in Colombia, and one of these accidents resulted in a neck injury so confusing that it somehow feels better smashed sideways into a moosh pillow.
âKris also said it would be better if you didnât meet her before weâre already married,â Jeymi frowns.
âHas she been in jail?â Alex has a wager heâs looking to settle. âIs she there now?â
âDoes she think everything south of Texas is Mexico?â Leo has a bet of his own. âIs Tucker Carlson her president?â
They tell Jeymi this is why their original advice was to leave her at the airport, and she interjects that Kris is going back there soon enough anyway.
âBecause sheâs going to jail?â Alex isnât letting his theory dissolve, but is willing to wait.
Nicole waffles around the house in search of a storyline other than clothing, and settles on slow-motion ironing, which is still clothing, and another reason to be late to Mahmoudâs uncleâs house. Uncle owns a garment factory, and Mahmoud and Nicole think they can turn her designs into a family business, once theyâre married to other people. For reasons known only to Mahmoud, he believes this sojourn to the next House of Judgment will relax Nicole.
âI feel that once she sees my aunt completely covered with only her eyes exposed, sheâll understand how respectful this is,â Mahmoud says things.
Nicoleâs welcomed into the house, and they share her sketches with the family, while Nicole describes a strange, isolated hamlet of America where women are restricted to short sleeves and skirts with nary a pant to be found.
âWhat?â Every clothing shop from LA to NYC has questions.
Uncle Fashion reports that Nicoleâs designs are a good start, but theyâre not quite a burqa yet, and heâs wondering when Mahmoud is going to brainwash Nicole into thinking a similar outfit is her own idea. Nicole thinks this is a very personal question, and thought she made it clear sheâs there for a business opportunity. Uncle says if she hadnât converted and somehow fallen into the strictest circle of religious Egypt this wouldnât be a thing. Mahmoud tells them that Nicole doesnât understand the purpose of the hijab, or any facet of the religion beyond the single sentence she willingly recited prior to nuptials, but heâs made a point to repeatedly bring it up while speaking of nothing else. Uncle retorts that the clothing is not the most important part, the praying is, and Nicole says that Mahmoud still has to teach her this.
âIâm having a crisis of faith,â Nicole describes losing something she never had. âI still need to iron it and find the shoes to match.â
âTrust me, praying is more important than the clothes,â Uncle insists.
âNot to Mahmoud!â Nicole objects.
âThere are books that could answer a lot of these questionsâŠâ God tries.
âI was not told there would be reading!â Nicole objects again.
âRight?!â Jenâs on board.
STILL TO COME THIS SEASON: Kris and Jeymi commit love crimes in front of astonished witnesses, Jen travels through time towards her actual age, Nicole dresses like a lady-sperm on an important ovarian quest, Gabe shares his secrets with Isabelâs family, Daniele goes snorkeling for new complaints, and Yohan finds an excuse to reference the baby-arm in his pants.

Gabe and Isabel have nearly enough characters in their tale to warrant a spin-off series, so time to crowd the stage and introduce Gabeâs stunt-friend Trey.
âWhatâs the point of me again?â Trey needs clarification over basketball. âHow did we meet?â
âI heard you speaking English?â Gabe tries. âOh, Iâm trans. That and not knowing you is why I didnât add you on social media.â
âWhoa! And you want to marry this girl?â Trey remembers his lines. âI mean, you should pause and think about it. Do you really want to be with someone who loves and accepts you?â
âYes?â Gabe isnât sure Trey is living up to the fake-friend promise.
âWell I would slow down, and definitely donât ask for her hand in marriage and reveal the trans thing on the same visit with the parents,â Trey advises. âEvery sitcom gives you 30 minutes to chew on a coming-out before the wedding episode, and this show is like a thousand minutes long.â
âYeah, but the cameras make it a bit safer,â Gabe has a point.
âDid that stop River from lamp-smacking Pedro?â Trey has three points!
Gabe remains resolved so Trey takes his doubt on the road and meets up with Gabe and Isabel at a spot where they usually bro-out doing man things like smashing stuff with their beef-mitts in front of tits. Isabel does her best to believe Gabe has a second-life as a nomadic womanizer without guffawing. Perhaps the fake business and the real surgeries and actual families provide sufficient drama without the need for Treyâs services?
âIâm afraid not,â production has notes. âNormally, yes, but weâve got a LOT of sad white women this season. Without these two, itâs basically crying and Nicole looking like she wants to return to the sea.â
âSpeaking of secretos,â Trey isnât ready to abandon the spotlight just yet. âHow about that trans business? Did you know about this, Isabella?â
âReally?â Isabel wonât last much longer.
âItâs Isabel,â Mateo, Isabelâs friend, manifests like Danieleâs watching.
âDid YOU know about this?â Trey needs to ask this some more. âThis culture es muy machismo. Mucho cheesimo. Muy.â

Rishi looks like he just took a kick from Oussamaâs donkey, and neither of them are ready to get married in just a month, but they donât want to break up. Tears happen.
âWould anyone like some more chai?â the chai-guy feels helpless.
Debbie and Oussama leave the airport for Rabat, and Oussama wastes no time sharing what every Arabic man tells their non-Muslim western-would-be-wife on this show, so do I even have to type it? Debbie thinks sheâs already sacrificed enough by agreeing to like-button his facebook poetry, and Oussama requests she just learn to be â40% of a Moroccan housewifeâ â and Moroccan housewives work hard.
âI thought hard work kills the creativity?â Debbie needs to understand thereâs two different standards at play here. âIâve already worked hard my entire life. When do you start?â
Still, Debbie says sheâll warm to the idea if their food is primarily take-out and they agree to get fucked up on wine on the regular. Oussama notes that this is fine, they just canât drink at the house.
âIt makes the angels go outside of the home and makes the devil come inside,â Oussama explains how booze works.
âFinally, a fucking invite!â the devil has been waiting for this moment.
âIs that how you got this way?â Debbie starts putting the pieces in place. âCan we slough them off at a brew pub somewhere, or is this an exorcism situation? Do you have an ancient box I can twirl in my hands?â
Debbie colors this whole turn bizarre, and so she anticipates walking out the same 100% Debbie she was when she walked in.
âI need a drink just thinking about it,â Debbie laughs.
âNo, this will be fine,â Oussama reads from his *PUA Handbook for Muslim Men Marrying Western Women for Lulz.* âMy word is final. Old American women have so much dumb.â
âExcuse me! Did he say old?â Jen has an issue here.
âMe not old,â Memphis wants to be included.
âI donât know what youâre talking about, so Iâm packing, and Iâm leaving,â Nicole does her part.
âI donât know Oussama,â Debbieâs destined for reality tv. âItâs starting to sound like you plan to fuck around and find out.â
They arrive at a gorgeous inn with brilliant decor and architecture, and Debbie marvels at its beauty, before suggesting Oussama might want to be 20% a gentleman and give her back a fucking break and get the bags. God takes revenge on Oussama for suggesting Debbie dilute herself and brains him on his way out of her room.
âHe just clotheslined himself bad!â Debbie laughs along with God, who takes full responsibility.
âMy neck,â Kris feels it all the way in Colombia.
Debbie puts her stuff away and thinks sheâs been left no choice but to remind Oussama of her majesty through jewelry. She makes her grand entrance in a flowing dress, and wants to finalize a few things, since Oussama has already written 40% of her identity out of the story. She asks how long they plan to stay with his parents, and Oussama assures her that she wonât be there long at all, but heâll probably be there until the planet dies.
âSo wait, where am I going to be when the planet dies?â
âDead,â Oussama hopes this clears things up.
âWhat if it dies in three months? Where will I be then?â
âOh, in America,â Oussama thinks she asks a lot of questions, and he swears he explained his policy about cats>humans.
âBut Iâm wearing a lionâs head,â she directs his attention.
Debbie thinks this information might have been more useful prior to packing, and Oussama says he knew she wouldnât come then, so as you can see, this deception is fine. Debbie is gobsmacked, and reports the last time she was there he practically floored it to the courthouse, and now heâs demanding a two-month trial run and a return to Georgia before he weighs his options a second time.
âYou sure screwed up Oussama,â Debbie sadly shakes her head. âHell is empty and all the devils are here.â
With that Debbie takes her leave, and vows to get in a quick camel ride and replenish her bead collection before returning to the House of Wonders that has managed to remain enchanted without her.
The Four Day Torment of Kris is ready for Chapter Exhausted, and the box of pills and magic shot have narcolepsied Kris into a denim-coma, granting Jeymi a chance to escape this tit-pillow prison. She asks Kris if she still wants to take photos on the backs of horses wearing cowboy hats, or if itâs cool for her to change out of this outfit, and Kris says Jeymi should go it alone while she face-plants and listens to âRing of Fireâ on repeat. With that, Jeymi scurries off to meet with friends Alex and Leo.
âHELP ME!â She screams as she runs into the restaurant.
âDID SHE FOLLOW YOU?â Alex and Leo need to know this first.
Jeymi says that somewhere Krisâ car-accident total rose to four, one for each day sheâs spent in Colombia, and one of these accidents resulted in a neck injury so confusing that it somehow feels better smashed sideways into a moosh pillow.
âKris also said it would be better if you didnât meet her before weâre already married,â Jeymi frowns.
âHas she been in jail?â Alex has a wager heâs looking to settle. âIs she there now?â
âDoes she think everything south of Texas is Mexico?â Leo has a bet of his own. âIs Tucker Carlson her president?â
They tell Jeymi this is why their original advice was to leave her at the airport, and she interjects that Kris is going back there soon enough anyway.
âBecause sheâs going to jail?â Alex isnât letting his theory dissolve, but is willing to wait.
Nicole waffles around the house in search of a storyline other than clothing, and settles on slow-motion ironing, which is still clothing, and another reason to be late to Mahmoudâs uncleâs house. Uncle owns a garment factory, and Mahmoud and Nicole think they can turn her designs into a family business, once theyâre married to other people. For reasons known only to Mahmoud, he believes this sojourn to the next House of Judgment will relax Nicole.
âI feel that once she sees my aunt completely covered with only her eyes exposed, sheâll understand how respectful this is,â Mahmoud says things.
Nicoleâs welcomed into the house, and they share her sketches with the family, while Nicole describes a strange, isolated hamlet of America where women are restricted to short sleeves and skirts with nary a pant to be found.
âWhat?â Every clothing shop from LA to NYC has questions.
Uncle Fashion reports that Nicoleâs designs are a good start, but theyâre not quite a burqa yet, and heâs wondering when Mahmoud is going to brainwash Nicole into thinking a similar outfit is her own idea. Nicole thinks this is a very personal question, and thought she made it clear sheâs there for a business opportunity. Uncle says if she hadnât converted and somehow fallen into the strictest circle of religious Egypt this wouldnât be a thing. Mahmoud tells them that Nicole doesnât understand the purpose of the hijab, or any facet of the religion beyond the single sentence she willingly recited prior to nuptials, but heâs made a point to repeatedly bring it up while speaking of nothing else. Uncle retorts that the clothing is not the most important part, the praying is, and Nicole says that Mahmoud still has to teach her this.
âIâm having a crisis of faith,â Nicole describes losing something she never had. âI still need to iron it and find the shoes to match.â
âTrust me, praying is more important than the clothes,â Uncle insists.
âNot to Mahmoud!â Nicole objects.
âThere are books that could answer a lot of these questionsâŠâ God tries.
âI was not told there would be reading!â Nicole objects again.
âRight?!â Jenâs on board.
STILL TO COME THIS SEASON: Kris and Jeymi commit love crimes in front of astonished witnesses, Jen travels through time towards her actual age, Nicole dresses like a lady-sperm on an important ovarian quest, Gabe shares his secrets with Isabelâs family, Daniele goes snorkeling for new complaints, and Yohan finds an excuse to reference the baby-arm in his pants.

2023.03.24 03:15 BluMoonBlues I am having trouble coming up with my character's appearance-- would commissioning an artist help at this stage?
So, the campaign I'm currently in is not, in any way, finished. It'll be a little while longer before we resolve everything we can, but I've already been fine-tuning and creating a character for our next campaign. I've got her general backstory (enough of it without the world to build it into, of course), I've got her general motives, I've got her class and personality and all that. The only thing I am really struggling with is her physical appearance.
Now, my first characters (a dwarf and then a tiefling), were relatively easy to come up with. For the tiefling, I sort of followed the opposite of what I had played previously. It was somewhat of a 1:1 inversion (my dwarf was short, so my tiefling is relatively tall; my dwarf was a wizard, so my tiefling was a monk/fighter; my dwarf was a pale girl with red hair, so my tiefling is nonbinary with deep blue skin and white hair, etc.).
This character, I can't do that with. Which means that, unlike my previous characters, I can't visualize her nearly as well. I could come up with a general idea of her characteristics based off of her name's etymology (Italian/Spanish), but my brain can't do anything with just characteristics like dark hair and olive-toned skin. She might as well be a faceless pose-reference doll.
In trying to find advice, some articles recommended commissioning an artist to help create the art for your character's appearance (not exactly applicable, but that's my question). When I've commissioned in the past, I've had most of the specifics of their facial features already in mind so the artist knew what to work with.
Is it alright to make the face WITH the artist as part of the commission, since I don't have a specific idea on specific features? Is it not good form to come to a commission with less than a concrete idea? Art takes a while to make, and I feel like I'd be concerned I'd be doing more work than I'd be paid for if the client wasn't totally sure what they wanted. I don't know if I'm articulating this correctly, so I can definitely clarify in the comments if I need to.
I don't want to assume and ask more of a commissioned artist than in the past, just because it's more difficult for me to visualize this character than my previous ones.

2023.03.24 03:13 foxxyfafalove99 What is her type?
She is the adoptive mother of my former best friend. In spite of the fact that she is a white woman, she adopted my former best friend, who is a black girl much like myself.
I remember that in middle school, she gave off the impression to me of being fake (which doesnât mean that I disliked her, exactly. She was just one of those people who seemed noticeably fake in regards to facial expressions, the way she spoke.) She didnât seem like someone who had actively ill will or anything like that, though I obviously knew her only as my friendâs parent. She was the kind of parent who had her child around other people a lot/raised her child around people (my former best friend has better social skills than I do, and I do think that that is a factor.) She was not married and didnât seem to be dating anyone, even though as I said, she looked normal for a woman in her age group.
I remember her as being what I considered to be average looking. She had a gap between her teeth, was not overweight, I seem to remember she had blonde hair when younger (it seems sheâs started to grey a bit more which makes sense.) I realized recently that she is actually in her early sixties, even though I had thought she was in her fifties in middle school (well, I suppose she was, but I still didnât expect that she is sixty-two years old. She started college in 1978, so unless she graduated early and it was never mentioned to me, it seems that she is.)
I remember that she wasnât (isnât) well off - they had a house, which is more than my family has (my family has always lived in an apartment complex) but I remember she encouraged my former best friend to start at community college as she mentioned that they didnât have the money.
She is now a licensed marriage and family therapist (I remember she was going back to school for her degree in psychology when I was in middle school.) She was simply a therapist around 2021-summer 2022. She has been a paralegal for most of her life.
I remember that she didnât seem extremely sad after her mother died. I think that it was part of the reason as to why my former best friend changed so much around eighth grade, but she never looked especially depressed, even out in public (but I remember she was helping care for her mother.)
I remember we were once gossiping about this INTJ girl in middle school and I mentioned the INTJ HAD A STRONG STARE AND THE MOM ACTUALLY AGREED WITH THIS INSTEAD OF JUST SHUTTING IT DOWN
I do think that something was off about her parenting at some point, even though itâs hard to pinpoint what exactly. I say this because as I mentioned, my former best friend changed a lot in 8th grade and actually became more toxic. I also remember my former best friend would let our friend group talk badly about her mother behind her motherâs back. I believe my former best friend may have undiagnosed depression (I remember in 8th grade she and this girl we hung out with mentioned that they remember being very angry at points in elementary school and throwing things - I heavily had the impression that both were struggling with depression even back then, but my former best friend never mentioned being in therapy.) And in 9th grade my former best friendâs behavior toward me was still quite toxic and unacceptable (I actually remember the mom Encouraged us to hang out again, I think she noticed my former best friendâs had changed for the worst.)
