Caleb Hammer exposed a cheating guest on his post-show stream after she repeatedly begged him not to check her Snapchat during the main audit. "The entire situation blew up in 4K when Caleb went through her phone and found explicit messages, explicit photo exchanges with other men, and texts where she explicitly bragged about hiding her affairs from her husband." "Sitting right beside her, the husband broke down as he realized he was working 14 hours a day to support their life while she was actively cheating behind his back and lying to his face on air." "I know I said he knows about it, but he doesn’t lol... save those pics, but can you delete them from chat just to be safe?" "You are sitting next to a man working 14-hour days to keep your household afloat, while you're secretly sending explicit photos to other men and texting about how he 'doesn't know'?! Getting caught red-handed in 4K on a post-show stream is the ultimate reality check!"

I do not feel any pity for this Roby Ekpo guy for the simple reason that he did everything that you must not do as a man. 1. He married a divorcee. Every man in his right senses knows that you should never marry a divorced woman or a single mother. You should only sleep with them 3 to 5 times and discard them exactly the way their initial husband did. A man must start a family, not join one. 2. He married her after just five months of dating. A marriage proposal that a woman got on a platter will never be appreciated. If she had to wait for at least two years before getting the marriage proposal from him, she probably would have appreciated the marriage more. 3. He cried over a woman. The only reason you should cry over a woman is if she dies and was good to you when she was alive. 4. He couldn't satisfy her in bed. This is solely because the woman he married has been with multiple men and cannot be satisfied by one man anymore. This is why you should only marry a woman you met as a virgin and who is between the ages of 19 and 23 when you start dating her. 5. He sent her abroad while he remained in Nigeria. A woman that you send abroad will find your replacement in less than 3 months. And if she must go abroad, let her go with majorly her own money or with a loan from you (through proxies). Never fully foot the bill so that when she leaves, you will at least get your money back. 6. He is not polygamous. You can do everything right and a woman will still cheat on you, but when you have about three other women who will easily replace her, you will not go through so much heartbreak and definitely not cry on a podcast. 7. He said the Mayowa lady made him hate Nedu and other people who did not offend him. Once a woman can control who you can and cannot relate with, she has successfully made you her slave. As a man, you must be able to relate with whoever you want whether your woman likes it or not. She can either live with it or pack and leave. I wish him well but he is the perfect representation of a foolish man.

The more you invest in a woman, the more likely she is to cheat on you because it's in a woman's nature not to value and respect a man who overplays his role in her life. But men will never hear that because they believe money can buy a woman's loyalty, but at the end of the day, simps are bound to eat dust, which is the joy of nature. And as a man, always keep in mind that the process of cheating is too long to be a mistake. Before a woman cheats on you; • she thought about the deed • texted the guy for a while • spoke ill about you • sent him her nudes • used your money for tfare to his place • during the sex, his dick slipped out, and she put it back in with her hands, calling him daddy • after everything, he came inside of her to mark his territory After being caught, it's in a woman's nature that they use their crocodile tears to get you where they want you to be emotionally because emotional blackmail is their weapon. Always remember; She's not sorry because of the act but because she was caught in the act. She placed a bet against your love, trust, manliness, and self-respect, hoping her tears would make up for it if she eventually gets caught. The more reason you should never forgive a cheating woman.

Most guys do not realize how dirty, naughty, and sexual women are. The average woman is way dirtier than the average man. I don’t think I’ve ever met a woman who wasn’t turned on by public sex, for example. Very few men are as into it as women are. As a guy, when you’re about to get it on with a girl in public, she’s there moaning, telling you to “put it in”; meanwhile you are looking around to check if anyone else is nearby while positioning her in this uncomfortable public position in the dirt, in the cold, and telling her “all right, hold on, I’m working on it, let me just get it up here, give me a second, sheesh!” If you read a woman’s romance novel, there is so much ink spilled on teasing, build up, this sex act, that sex act, the other sex act, that it’s basically unreadable if you are a guy. As a guy, you just wanna get your hot dog in her hot dog bun. But women want to do all KINDS of stuff. There’s a million things sexually these girls want to do. So why aren’t girls jumping at the chance to go to bed with every guy they meet? ✅ She needs to TRUST a guy first. Trust that she is safe with him. Trust that he will not judge her. Trust that it won’t affect her reputation. Many men aren’t good at building trust. Trust is KEY. ✅ She needs some degree of attraction to the guy. Not NEARLY as much as most guys think. She does NOT need to be wild with desire for you to sleep with you. It is even possible to sleep with women who really are not attracted to you at all, but who are just bored (and horny) and you did the moves right. (Or, bonus round, you just offered her an experience she has always fantasized about, so even if you are not her dream guy, she nevertheless says fine, let’s do it.) ✅ She needs to be aroused. You know the whole “women’s arousal is like a dimmer” thing… it’s accurate. You need to ramp her arousal up with touch, teasing, flirtation, innuendo, sex talk, etc. ✅ She needs to be ALONE with you. If she trusts you enough, you can get her alone with you. Once she’s alone with you, if there is trust there, and there’s arousal, and maybe a bit of attraction, you will get her clothes off. Yes… even if she is a ‘good’ girl. ‘Good’ girls did not manage to pass down their genes by hating sex (they are just a bit more selective about the men they have it with, is all. They need more TRUST!). Also: don’t be UNNERVED by female sexuality. Every girl has a tigress inside her waiting for the right guy to unleash it… a guy who makes her trust him, arouses her, gets her alone with him, and maybe creates some attraction with her. Women’s romance novels are ALL about this. Women’s romances in real life are as well. In fact, in real life, women often settle for far less ideal situations: men they don’t completely trust, aren’t that attracted to, are only partway aroused by, who get them alone somewhere. The better a job you can do approaching her sexual “Platonic ideal”, the more reliably you can bring out that sexual tigress lurking inside of EVERY woman (even the ‘good’ girls).

She was a woman my brother loved and protected with everything he had. On the 20th of December, she got married while heavily pregnant—about eight months along. We didn’t hear this from her directly; we found out on TikTok. When my brother passed away in November, she brought the children to us in January, saying she wanted to pursue her master’s degree and continue her education. At the time, my mother felt sad that she seemed to move on quickly, but I told my mum that life doesn’t stop completely just because someone has passed. However, finding out later that she was already far along in another pregnancy broke my heart deeply. It meant she became pregnant just a few months after my brother’s passing. That realization was very painful for me. What makes it harder is remembering what happened shortly before my brother died. I visited them two days before his passing and was meant to stay for a week. Her car had broken down that day, and my brother took her to work. After work, she called him to come and pick her up. My brother asked her to take a ride instead because he was busy with me at the time. She refused and insisted he must come. At that period, my brother was on leave and had planned to stay home, which was why he invited me over. She continued insisting. When my brother hesitated, she became upset and accused him of causing tension at home. I suggested that I go pick her up since I could drive. My brother even handed me the car keys because he was already getting frustrated. But once she heard that I was coming instead, she insisted that only my brother should come for her. After a long back-and-forth, my brother finally decided to go. On his way, there was a serious accident involving a large vehicle, and my brother lost his life. I didn’t immediately understand the seriousness. She was the one who called me, saying she couldn’t reach him and that people said he had been in an accident. I only realized the reality when I got there. It was devastating. I was angry because the entire situation happened right in front of me. My brother did not want to go out that day, but he went because he was pressured. I understand that death is something no one can control. But moving on so quickly after such a loss feels deeply hurtful. My brother stood by this woman completely. He supported her education, protected her, and never allowed anyone to disrespect her. We all respected her because of him. Seeing how things turned out is painful. It doesn’t feel fair, and it hurts deeply. At first, we didn’t interfere with any property matters. But now, I feel that whatever my brother left behind should be preserved for his two sons, to be accessed when they are adults. None of us wants his property—we are all doing fine—but we want to protect his children’s future. I’m not writing this out of bitterness. I’m writing because I’m hurting. I wish my brother hadn’t gone out that day. I wish things had turned out differently. Life can be very unfair, and this pain is something I’m still trying to understand. ●Miss Favour

🚨#BREAKING: A 23-year-old is being hailed as a hero after he saw a woman TRAPPED ON THE TRAIN TRACKS with a train coming... ...so he sprinted out of his car and LIFTED THE RAILROAD CROSSING ARM WITH HIS BARE HANDS so she could reverse off the rails. The train passed SECONDS later. ❤️ His name is Josiah Baur, and he is 23 years old from Port St. Lucie, Florida. It happened last Friday around 5 p.m. in Hobe Sound, at Bridge Road and Dixie Highway. Debbie made a turn onto the tracks, and the crossing arm came down right on top of her car. Her antenna caught on the gate. She was pinned between the gates, sitting on the rails. Debbie: "Then I realized that I was trapped; it was absolutely trapped." Dash cam video from another driver caught the whole thing. You can hear the train horn getting closer to her little red car. Debbie: "I know for sure somebody might come up from behind and help me, but you know didn't happen, and then all of a sudden I looked, and I saw my guardian angel coming over the track." That person was Josiah. He had left work late and was in a hurry to get home. He was stopped on the OTHER side of the tracks, looked down at his phone, then looked back up. "I see Miss Debbie's car stuck on the train tracks with the arm down behind it... She's going to get hit, so I threw it in parking and just took off running." And while he was running, he was doing math. He was watching the train. How far out it was. How many seconds he had AND which side of the track it was coming down. "When I noticed it was on her side of track, I'm like, OK, now or never, we gotta do this." He got to the gate, put both arms under it, and PUSHED IT UP. Debbie threw it in reverse and backed off the rails. Then the train went through. Debbie: "I don't know how many seconds passed by and then the train came right by, so it was a close call. It was very close." A woman named Lizzy Dominguez was in the car right behind Josiah, watching it all, unable to move. "We were just saying, 'Please, God, please, God, please, God.' We were frozen in the car. We couldn't move." She took a photo of Josiah and posted it to a local Facebook group because she did not know his name and wanted to find him. She said they had just watched a miracle. Josiah said he does not think he did anything special. "People say she's a stranger to me, but she's a child of God just like I am." And this: "I'm just very fortunate that God put me right where I was." That Sunday, Debbie and Josiah met back up at the same railroad crossing. They hugged. Debbie: "I won't ever forget what he's done for me. He is a true American hero." She is taking his whole family out to dinner. GOD BLESS Josiah Baur. THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Many people felt uncomfortable after learning the real life story of the actress behind Angela Hayes in American Beauty (1999). “I was not being loved. I was just a body.” — Mena Suvari on surviving s*xual abuse, acting, and American Beauty. Suvari was first r@ped at age 12 by a friend of her older brother. He then told other people at school that she was a “wh*re”. She was so ashamed, she denied that it had happened. “That sucked the life out of me. I think that was just excessive confirmation that no one was going to save me, no one was going to do anything for me.” As a teenager starting out in Hollywood, she was repeatedly taken advantage of by a predatory manager before entering the ab*sive three-year relationship with the technician. One of her business advisers, in his mid-30s, who started having se× with her when she was 16. “I didn’t have anyone telling me, ‘That’s not right, that person shouldn’t be doing that with you’.” At her first modelling shoot, she says, “everyone was raving about how I looked 18. But I was 12.” she said angrily “What was communicated to me was that I was an adult, therefore I can act like an adult.” While filming America Beauty (1999), Mena Suvari described an "unusual" and "eerie" experience with Kevin Spacey while filming the 1999 movie American Beauty. Between filming scenes, Spacey took Suvari into a side room on set that had a bed, where they lay very close to one another. Suvari stated that Spacey was "gently holding" her while they lay there. She described the interaction as "very peaceful but weird and unusual". However, Suvari mentioned that Spacey did not make s*xual advances in that room, and she trusted him on set at the time. Suvari noted that years of ab*se made her uniquely prepared to play the hyper-s*xualised Angela Hayes. She stated that film sets became a strange refuge because she already knew exactly how to perform and dissociate. She wrote, "Oh, you want me to be s*xually attractive? Done."

Before Aidan goes live tonight to ‘tell everything,’ let’s get one thing straight- He’s only going to share whatever cherry-picked moments and half-truths make his narrative look good. That’s his entire formula. And he’s counting on people not noticing the parts he conveniently leaves out. Now ask yourself this- does anyone else realize how insane it is that we’ve reached a point where it’s considered normal to openly call Karen Read a ‘cnt’* on the regular? Without a second thought or push-back? And anyone that dares to defend her is immediately attacked? This is the same woman we all spent two years defending, protesting for, and pouring our time and money into. Because we believed in her. The same woman he built his entire brand on. The views, the donations, the merch, media deals. She was his golden goose. And now he’s treating her like disposable content the moment it benefits him. Just because he says so. Because his feelings were hurt. Because she's fed up with the damage he's done and wants nothing to do with him. Can you blame her? A lot of people have ignored that little voice inside their head telling them something wasn’t right. That Karen isn't this evil person he's making her out to be. Aka their conscience. Why? Because they were intimidated into silence. Because they were threatened. Because speaking up meant getting mocked, attacked, or having their lives blown up. That ends today. And this whole storyline he keeps pushing that he ‘stayed silent about Karen for so long’ is absolute bullshit. He hasn’t stayed silent. He’s been slowly priming his audience against her for months. Dropping little hints. Planting doubts. Testing reactions. Well before the Howie Carr show. That’s the only reason he secretly recorded her in the first place. Not for truth, not for justice, but to stockpile ammunition to use later when it benefited him. He recorded her so he could weaponize her. If he wants to go live and perform his selective version of events, fine. But I’m done letting him rewrite history. I’m done letting him manipulate an audience that trusted him. And I’m done protecting someone who never had a problem stockpiling receipts to use against every single person in his orbit. I’m about to start dropping everything. Buckle up. PS- And before anyone tries to spin this as me ‘starting drama,’ let’s be clear. Much like he’s done to Karen, Aidan has been badmouthing me behind the scenes for months and directing other creators to come after me. That's how he operates, so that he can play the perpetual victim and keep the appearance his hands are clean. He’s the one who put out videos about me first this weekend, through Chelsea, of all people. I’ve kept my mouth shut while he ran his little whisper campaign. I’m only speaking now because I’m done being his punching bag.

Before Aidan goes live tonight to ‘tell everything,’ let’s get one thing straight- He’s only going to share whatever cherry-picked moments and half-truths make his narrative look good. That’s his entire formula. And he’s counting on people not noticing the parts he conveniently leaves out. Now ask yourself this- does anyone else realize how insane it is that we’ve reached a point where it’s considered normal to openly call Karen Read a ‘cnt’* on the regular? Without a second thought or push-back? And anyone that dares to defend her is immediately attacked? This is the same woman we all spent two years defending, protesting for, and pouring our time and money into. Because we believed in her. The same woman he built his entire brand on. The views, the donations, the merch, media deals. She was his golden goose. And now he’s treating her like disposable content the moment it benefits him. Just because he says so. Because his feelings were hurt. Because she's fed up with the damage he's done and wants nothing to do with him. Can you blame her?

So, THIS is what I'm talking about. Something about this song always stood out, but I never bothered finding out what it means, until someone asked, 'When was it that Cihan fell in love?' To me, it's this moment. He's sure he's in love with Alya here. Him singing "Akşam olur karanlığa kalırsın" is his way of telling her of his love and secretly bidding her goodbye (because he knows she's planning on leaving, and as we later learn, he intends to let her go.) When you learn about the song, it's so damn obvious. It's an Anatolian folk song about unrequited love. So while Ciho knows and accepts his feelings, he's pretty sure Alya feels nothing for him. Which is why he's so freaking surprised when Alya hesitates at the airport, and doesn't leave. And, just look at the lyrics. “Akşam olur karanlığa kalırsın / Derin derin sevdalara dalarsın” Evening comes, you’re left in the dark / You drift into love(s) so deep Cihan knows Alya is about to leave; he's heard her secret plan. So, basically, by evening, he knows she'll be gone, and he'll be alone, drifting in the memories she left behind. “Oy gelin gelin sevdalı gelin / Öldürdün beni” Oh bride, love-struck bride / You’ve killed me This is the painful, ironic bit. She is his wife, his bride, but in name only. They get married out of convenience, out of necessity. But Ciho does the unthinkable and falls in love. To him, she has no such feelings, so love-struck here can mean her own dreams, her own life, anything but him. And, that's what's 'killing' him. He loves her, but he can't even confess his love to stop her from leaving him. “Bülbül ne ötersin yuvanmı yoktur? / Yoksa benim gibi sevdan mı çoktur?” Nightingale, why do you sing, don’t you have a home? / Or do you, like me, have too many loves? In eastern poetry, the nightingale or the bulbul is symbolic of a tragic lover, one who constantly laments the absence of his loved one by singing. No guesses for who the bulbul is in this situation. Then the rhetorical question, 'Why do you sing nightingale?' We know Ciho is singing out of his love for Alya, and the second line, 'Or have you, like me, loved too deeply?' Ouuff. This poor boy is suffering, and suffering badly. He can't say he loves Alya aloud because he knows she's not ready, so he sings it for her, hoping against hope she'll understand. Then comes the whopper: “Ellerin elime değdiği zaman / İster ölüm olsun ister ayrılık” When your hands touched mine / Let it be death, or let it be separation This bit sounds a little, how shall I say it? Depressing? But it's not. The line 'When your hands touched mine' to me is indicative of all the rare moments of warmth they've shared. And the line ' Be it death or be it separation' is his way of saying, he'd rather have all those moments and lose her, than never having touched her, known her, or loved her at all. Like they say, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. So, yeah. This moment, right here, to me, is Cihan's first confession. And what a beautiful confession it is. It's subtle, like him. It's deep and meaningful, without being in your face. And, here's the best part - you can clearly see what he sings gets through to Alya. Because her expression is so tragic, so melancholy, like some part of her knows he's spelling out his love and saying goodbye. And who knows, maybe that's the reason she can't leave at the airport. Her subconscious picks up on what Cihan is trying to convey, and that's what leads to that struggle between her mind and heart. Masterfully done. Not appreciated enough. And, all the kudos to Sinem and Ozan for portraying it so beautifully that even non-Turkish speakers get the gist. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

Chuks is trending because Senator Ned Nwoko has arrested the video blogger Chuks Eric, on grounds that he is the person in the viral video who claimed Ned paid him ₦5M to assas*sinate Regina Daniels.

⚠️ TW // MIGHT BE OVERDO SPOILER ⚠️ ⛔️ DO NOT read this tweet if you haven’t watched the actual ending yet, or, you don’t want the ending you want in your head right now to get ruined ⛔️ I already put the warning, so read at your own risk~ Overdo actual ending in original script (that I got). Reason why it didn’t get included in long episode.. probably because they don’t have enough time to shoot it, as we know the filming cycle for is only 90 days. Enjoy reading! ☺️ [33-10] The flames consume the Dongjiadu Waterworks. Smoke billows into the sky as beams collapse one after another. A rescue worker shouts over the roar of the fire. “There is someone!” It is Murong Qingyi. His whole body covered in blood. His breathing is shallow. “Young Master?” “You know him?” The middle aged man nods slowly, disbelief written across his face. “I used to work for Commander Li.” As they carry him away, Qingyi’s fingers twitch. “Susu...” [33-11] 3 Months later. Qingyi slowly regains consciousness in a small clinic. He instinctively tries to sit up. Pain tears through his body, forcing him back onto the bed. The physician quickly stops him. “Don’t move.” Qingyi look at him. “Who helps me? I have to go back.” “Someone who knows you said you need to recover first before you go.” “My wife is waiting for me” “You’ve been unconscious for 3 months. Your burns are severe, several ribs are fractured, and your lungs are injured from smoke inhalation. You won’t even make it out the front door.” Qingyi grips the edge of the bed. — Over the following months, Qingyi travels from one city to another. Everywhere he goes, he seeks renowned physicians and specialists for burns and internal injuries. One elderly doctor examines the scars on his back before shaking his head. ”You pushed your body too far. If you continue traveling before you’ve healed completely, these injuries will stay with you for life.” [33-12] Two years later. A physician smiles as he finishes removing the last bandage from Qingyi’s body. [33-13] Two years later. The rebuilt lakeside cabin in Shencheng looks much the same as it once did. [Montage] Haitang Qing’s voice is heard reading from her letter. “The Fang Trading Company has found its footing again. Our business in Nanyang is flourishing, and so many of our partners are eager to meet the mysterious boss behind it all. The new plane you donated to the aviation academy has already begun training a promising new generation of pilots. The girls’ school we founded has welcomed its very first class of students. The opening ceremony won’t be complete without its chairwoman. Susu... all of us miss you. How much longer are you going to wait for him? He’s not coming back.” The letter continues as glimpses of Susu’s life play out. Le-an sits at his desk practicing calligraphy while Susu patiently guides him, correcting each stroke with gentle encouragement. Later, she tends to the flowers blooming throughout the garden, carefully watering each one. She pushes Le-an on a swing beneath the warm afternoon sun, mother and son laughing together. That night, she reads him a bedtime story. When his breathing evens into sleep, she smiles softly, tucks the blanket around him, and quietly slips from the room. [Montage END] Spring has arrived. Outside the cabin, the lake shimmers beneath the sunlight. Beneath a flowering tree, a picnic blanket has been spread across the grass. Susu sits beneath the blossoms, finishing Haitang Qing’s letter. The warmth of the afternoon makes her drowsy. She places the letter aside, lies down on her side atop the blanket, and slowly drifts into a light sleep. Everything is quiet. Sunlight filters gently through the branches overhead, petals swaying with the breeze. Then a soft gust brushes past. Half asleep, Susu feels someone settle beside her. She lazily opens her eyes. Only inches away is a familiar face. A handsome man dressed in a white shirt lies beside her, his head resting against one hand as he quietly watches her. She simply closes her eyes again. Dreaming of him has become so familiar that it no longer surprises her. A small smile finds its way onto her lips. “This is strange...” she murmurs sleepily. “Why have I been dreaming about you so often lately?” Murong Qingyi continues watching her, his voice low and gentle. “What do you dream about?” Still caught somewhere between dreaming and waking, Susu answers without opening her eyes. “I dream about the braised pork you cooked... the snowman you made... that night when you woke up in the middle of the night, turned over, and wrapped your arms around me again... and... there’s more...” A smile tugs at Qingyi’s lips. Reaching out, he gently taps the tip of her nose. “Why are all your dreams about the past?” he asks softly. “Dream about our future instead... alright?” His voice is so clear and real. Like cool spring water washing over her. In an instant, Susu is fully awake. She stares at him. At the face she has missed for two endless years. Disbelief floods her expression. Before she can even think, instinct takes over. She throws herself at him. The force knocks Qingyi backward onto the grass as she lands against his chest. Supporting herself above him, she hesitantly reaches out, fingertips trembling as they brush against his cheek, almost afraid that touching him will make him disappear. “I...” Her voice quivers. “I’m really not dreaming... am I?” Qingyi slowly sits up, lifting her effortlessly onto his lap. He holds her close and looks into her eyes. “These past two years,” he begins quietly, “I traveled everywhere to recover... to heal my injuries. But wherever I went, I kept dreaming about you.” A faint smile appears on his face. “I dreamed we were sitting together just like this.” His gaze never leaves hers. “I’d tell you, ‘Come here.’ And you’d crawl over like a little cat. I’d hold you and tell you, ‘I was wrong. Don’t be mad anymore.’ You’d pretend not to understand. You’d yawn... and then curl up in my arms.” Tears begin spilling down Susu’s cheeks, but despite herself, she laughs through them. “You certainly know how to dream,” she sniffles. “I waited two whole years for you... and the first thing you do after coming back is try to sweet talk your way into forgiving you?” Qingyi smiles at her with quiet tenderness. “If you truly blamed me,” he says softly, “you would’ve forgotten me.” Another tear escapes Susu’s eyes. At the same moment, a flower petal drifts down from above, landing with the tear against his brow before sliding to his cheek. “If you were a river,” she whispers, “I’d cross it. If you were a mountain, I’d climb it. But you...” Her voice breaks. “How was I ever supposed to forget you?” Qingyi lets out a small, amused laugh, looking almost pleased with himself. “Ren Susu,” he teases, “you really haven’t changed at all.” She cries even harder, lifting her hand to smack him in protest. Before she can, Qingyi catches her wrist. Without another word, he leans forward and kisses her. A breeze rushes through the flowering tree overhead. Petals tumble from the branches like rain, settling in their hair, across their shoulders, and around their embrace. Their kiss lingers beneath the shower of blossoms, until the two lovers are covered completely in the flowers of spring. Qingyi says that he will always find her, and he did. Susu says she will wait for him, and she did. ❤️

But wherever I went, I kept dreaming about you.” A faint smile appears on his face. “I dreamed we were sitting together just like this.” His gaze never leaves hers. “I’d tell you, ‘Come here.’ And you’d crawl over like a little cat. I’d hold you and tell you, ‘I was wrong. Don’t be mad anymore.’ You’d pretend not to understand. You’d yawn... and then curl up in my arms.” Tears begin spilling down Susu’s cheeks, but despite herself, she laughs through them. “You certainly know how to dream,” she sniffles. “I waited two whole years for you... and the first thing you do after coming back is try to sweet talk your way into forgiving you?” Qingyi smiles at her with quiet tenderness. “If you truly blamed me,” he says softly, “you would’ve forgotten me.” Another tear escapes Susu’s eyes. At the same moment, a flower petal drifts down from above, landing with the tear against his brow before sliding to his cheek. “If you were a river,” she whispers, “I’d cross it. If you were a mountain, I’d climb it. But you...” Her voice breaks. “How was I ever supposed to forget you?” Qingyi lets out a small, amused laugh, looking almost pleased with himself. “Ren Susu,” he teases, “you really haven’t changed at all.” She cries even harder, lifting her hand to smack him in protest. Before she can, Qingyi catches her wrist. Without another word, he leans forward and kisses her. A breeze rushes through the flowering tree overhead. Petals tumble from the branches like rain, settling in their hair, across their shoulders, and around their embrace. Their kiss lingers beneath the shower of blossoms, until the two lovers are covered completely in the flowers of spring. Qingyi says that he will always find her, and he did. Susu says she will wait for him, and she did. ❤️

I’m here only because I have a visceral reaction to misinformation….Jessica Machado Apparently there’s some confusion as to why people are pissed. People aren’t pissed because J7 trashed Baker on your show. People aren’t pissed because you said you don’t like Baker. People aren’t pissed because you made jokes about Baker sticking his dick into a fleshlight. People are pissed about how you responded to Baker’s 4Loco live where he told the real story behind the sex toy gift package. Baker explained that he and J7 had a sexting flirtation for a couple weeks but after he started seeing some red flags in her behavior he cut things off. J7 doesn’t handle rejection very well so she went off the rails and started blowing up his phone constantly. She even tracked down his danish phone number after he had blocked her on everything else. It was then that she sent him that package of sex toys. That is scary and weird as fuck. We all know damn well that if a woman had cut off contact and blocked a man who wouldn’t leave her alone and that man then sent her a box of sex toys we all would be horrified. Baker also talked about the abuse he went through with his ex-wife and it was fucking heartbreaking. In response to alla this you did not say something like “Fuck man I’m sorry. I didn’t know the whole story so while I still think you’re an asshole I apologize for making fun of the sex toy stuff.” Instead you doubled down by saying that he “preys on women”, he has “severe issues with women”, he “played the victim”, implied that he is lying about all of this because you’ve “seen all of the text messages” and you “know things that we don’t”. That is why people are pissed. And yes, you are taking way more heat from Baker and everyone else than J7 is but that’s because we all agree that J7 is crazy and you’re not crazy so we expect more from you than we do from the crazy lady. Also, nobody thought that you were talking about Baker being a predator when you were actually talking about J7 and Proctor being predators. That’s why none of us were posting that clip in an effort to try prove that you called Baker a predator. It seems that a couple of the bunnies just found you saying the word “predator” on a livestream and assumed that we’re all idiots who lack basic listening comprehension skills. Then you took it and ran with it even tho that explanation made absolutely no sense. And yes, I fucking hate alla this. There are only like 8 people who are thrilled that this whole shitshow happened. The rest of us are pissed, disappointed, and sick about it.

A teeny tiny notice before I proceed with my analysis. If you have a problem with either Cihan or Alya, don't bother reading. Because I don't take sides. I don't watch or think or write through the lens of Alya vs Cihan. Both characters are dear to me. And, if that's the way you roll, by all means, proceed. Analyzing Episode 36. Season 2 aka Of Strengths, Weaknesses, and The Last Nail in the Coffin Evvveeettt. Another episode, another meltdown. Just another day in the CihAl fandom. Ngl, it took me two days to even think about writing my regular analysis post, because the negativity was more potent than usual. Or maybe my resistance is waning, who knows? But that's not what we're gonna focus on today. This day, we analyze the words and actions of the heart and soul of Uzak Sehir, aka Alya and Cihan Albora. But we'll do so within the framework of strengths and weaknesses, because to me, that's what really comes to the fore in ep36. Alya Albora Alya Albora was especially heartbreaking this episode. And coming from someone who gets their heartbroken regularly because of Alya, that's saying something. The episode starts with the zombie-man opening his eyes (I think this PoS is just lying there pretending to be a vegetable, but that's for another time). And the look Alya has on her face when she looks at Cihan is indescribable. Almost as if everything inside her is pleading, 'Please don't regress back to where we just came from.' Because she fears, even as she tries to check on the zombie, that the closer Frankenboran gets to waking up, the further Cihan will drift from her. And, to an extent, her fears are proven right when Sadakat brings up divorce again. See, Alya doesn't come from strong family roots. She believes her biological mother abandoned her for most of her adult life. Then she has Caroline, who tries to fill all the empty spaces abandonment leaves in little Alya, but doesn't manage to succeed too much. As I've said before, Alya's primary fears stem from being abandoned and being a burden. That's what she tries to protect herself from. Those walls around her heart are in place to keep her from suffering that same pain again. That's both her strength and her weakness. While the fear pushes Alya to love harder, to push past difficulties, to rise from the ashes over and over, it also makes her more aloof. She doesn't find it as difficult as Cihan to leave behind 'family' ties because she's never experienced just how forceful those bonds can be. When it falls to her to choose between her love for Cihan and whatever she had with Boran, she picks the former without much guilt. But there's another factor that helps keep her from feeling much remorse for Boran, and that's the way her former husband treats her. Before Alya finds out about the will, her anger at Cihan is at an all-time high, and there's no question of any relationship developing between the two. After the will, however, that's a different story. So, when it falls to her to choose, she can do so easily, with her conscience at rest. And we see that so clearly in the way she announces she won't return to Boran even when he wakes up. Now, let's focus on the tricky bit. The weaknesses. Because Alya fears being a burden, being imposed on someone, adding to their strain, anything other than clarity can't help but raise doubts. When Cihan doesn't answer her question of 'Where will you stand?' with a clear with you or with you, distrust raises its ugly head. She starts asking herself if their relationship is what Cihan really wants now that Boran is back in the picture. She starts wondering whether Cihan will be able to shoulder the burden their relationship will add to his already weighed-down shoulders. It's harrowing to watch her be drawn to Cihan one instant, and pull back the next. Not because she doesn't love him, but because she can't bear to be another weight on Cihan's existence. That's what we see when she's shivering with fever. She wants him close, but she also doesn't want him to suffer. She keeps asking Cihan to leave, but he refuses to budge. And, that cures and hurts at the same time. For some reason, when she says, 'I'm also trying to find a way,' I couldn't help but feel that a part of her is already reverting back to the old Alya. The longer Cihan refrains from giving Alya a clear answer, the more her doubts grow. The more their 'impossibility' takes over her love. The closer she grows to wanting to leave. This time, if she attempts to leave, it won't be because her feelings overwhelm her. It'll be because she can't bear to see Cihan hurt anymore. Cihan Albora Oh boy. I can already hear the jeers of 'coward' and 'gavat' (which, by the way, I find to be a really ugly word) ringing in my ears. Well, fcuk that. Let's get back to our analysis. I talked about how Cihan seems to be stuck between suppression and surrender when it comes to his guilt. And, I did think that almost losing Alya would break that spell. But, clearly, that's not the road that Gulizar wants to take. Perhaps she does want it to come down to conflict. I'm not sure yet. What I am sure of is that Cihan is already aware of what he wants. And it's not wanting to be BFFs with Boran at the expense of Alya, guilt be damned. You can see it in the way his answers get bolder every time Sadakat asks him about a divorce. This episode is the first time Cihan states outright that the burden of 'conscience' isn't his to bear because he merely did what Boran asked of him. In other words, he didn't plan on falling in love with Alya, but it happened, and if there's any blame in that, it's not on him or Alya. Here's what irks most people. He doesn't ever talk about what he wants. It's always 'What if Boran wants this' or 'What if Boran wants that.' In other words, it's a form of misdirection on his part. He knows what's in his heart, but he doesn't want to say it out loud. Another scene where you can clearly see what his choice will be is when he's taking care of Alya during her fever. The more Alya insists that he leave, the more he digs in his heels. Until finally, he says, 'I won't allow anyone to hurt you, I won't allow anyone to harm you, and that's how it will be until I draw my last breath.' People don't say things like. 'That's how it'll be as long as I live,' if they're not sure about what they want. This is Cihan's strength. His love, protective instincts, and his code of sticking up for the people he loves. Unfortunately, like Alya, that's also his weakness. Cihan's been trained to fight for his family and his people to his very last. And, that's one HUGE reason why he can't verbalize what's already screaming inside his mind and his heart. We know he can't live without Alya, he says as much in the last episode. He keeps buying time because he knows once he states those words - there's no turning back. And he knows exactly how ugly things could go because dealing with ugly has been his entire existence. People won't be kind to him or Alya in the place where they live (think back to how Demir sends his goons to insult Alya's mom). And besides all that, what if Boran doesn't want to let go? That's when shit will truly hit the fan, because once Cihan says he's with Alya, he'll be fighting his brother, standing up to his mother, breaking his family apart, endangering Albora with internal strife, and worst of all, risking Alya and Deniz's safety. And remember, unlike Alya, who can control her conscience because of an extenuating factor, Cihan has no such relief. So, what you see is a man trying to survive an impending hurricane in a straw hut. He knows when that storm hits, and it will, things will go to hell. Besides all that, there is his stupid conscience that just won't shut the hell up because of that code of his. To me, that's not cowardice. That's a man standing at the edge of a life-changing truth, and being undone by the gravity of it. It's almost as if his soul is negotiating with reality, hoping to avoid collateral damage, while grieving for the version of himself he knows won't survive after he states his truth. As we can see in the scene where he and Alya are saying goodbye, they're already a family. His heart has already made the choice, so much so that in that scene, even Sadakat and Nare see the invisible bonds tying Cihan to Alya and vice versa. It's not a question of if, merely when. The Last Nail in the Coffin The question on everyone's mind is, what will it be? The last nail in the coffin of Cihan and Boran's brotherhood. The point of no return. To me, the way things are shaping up, there will be a clash. Will the showdown happen when Boran wakes up, or will Cihan learn the truth about his brother and finally be set free? I don't know. I've always had the inkling that Boran isn't what he claims to be. I guess we'll find out soon. But until then, I'll be watching. Gladly. For both my babies. Till next time, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

Analyzing Episode 58. Season 2 aka Balancing the Scales This episode was some of Sinem and Ozan's best work. Their expressions landed every single time, and, frankly, short of screaming what the story is trying to say, they did everything they could to convince the audience that CihAl was, is, and will remain the endgame. With that out of the way, let's begin. We start the episode with Cihan shitting literal bricks as he sees Alya is already at the konak with Sadakat and Meryem arriving, right behind him. The reason is clear - he's caught in a difficult situation yet again. He doesn't want things to look like he's overriding Alya's existence in his life as its core, but circumstances keep making it so that he's put in awkward situations, which only compound his fear of pushing Alya past the point of no return. Meryem is all smiles and teeth at seeing the konak, but the minute her eyes land on Alya, her smile and her eyes drop to the floor. Almost like she was expecting something else entirely, but reality has shamed her. Her eyes remain downcast throughout the entire time she's walking towards Alya, as if Alya's the truth she can't cross eyes with. Alya, on the other hand, remains standing tall. She doesn't flinch, doesn't express any outward anger, but you can see the storm raging in her eyes. When Cihan tells her Meryem will have to stay at the konak, she merely looks at him and nods. And you can see terror mixed with shame (I think) on Cihan's face, but hers remains clear of emotion. And then she walks away, saying she needs to collect Deniz because she's tired. Now that's an exit. Poised, calm, and leaving behind an absolute massacre in the onlookers. The scene where Deniz meets Meryem is another masterpiece because it's very subtle in the message it delivers. Which is - human relations go beyond blood, beyond memory, beyond societal impediments, if the love on both sides is strong enough. When Deniz says he's named after his father, the little boy is telling the truth. Cihan may not be his father in blood, but he's the father Deniz loves, the father he chose for himself. Then the same message is repeated through Deniz about CihAl when Sadakat tries to create trouble by saying Alya and Cihan are divorced. To which Deniz innocently replies, they may be divorced now, but they can get married again. Again, highlighting the importance of human connection. CihAl keep choosing each other through whatever challenge life throws at them, because they love each other equally. Yes, marriages and divorce can be forced, but it's the presence or absence of love that determines the final outcome. Case in point, Alya's marriage to Boran, Cihan's marriage to Seyda, Nare with Ozkan, Zerrin and Demir, etc., etc. That's what anyone opposing CihAl doesn't understand. Love finds a way. Always. That's what the story has been about since the beginning - that love will stand strong in front of all, as long as what you feel is truly love, and not some imitation of it. Also, *hint* *hint* that's the second time someone has mentioned CihAl getting married again, so it's definitely coming. Now for the scene where Cihan and Alya talk in their room. Cihan is right to be afraid of Alya here because he's a first-hand witness to how Alya reacts when she's been betrayed. He's seen how she took off Boran's ring and buried it with him after she found out about the will. An extreme situation compared to this one, absolutely. But fears don't use logic. Cihan knows Alya is strong enough to move on, to rise from the ashes - her strength is what he loves and fears at the same time. So, when he says 'Think of the Cihan in Alya's eyes, I don't want to be that Cihan' he's saying I know it looks like I disregarded you and broke your trust again, but that's not how things were. He needs her to show emotions, not because it'll pander to his ego, but because that's a sign she's still involved. That she's not near the point where she says 'enough is enough.' Alya, on the flip side, can't show her emotions. Because, unlike what Cihan fears, it's because she's so in love with him, so involved, that she's afraid to even ask what Cihan feels. Because if she learns Cihan's past isn't just the past, that he still loves Meryem, it'll shatter her unlike anything else. Despite it all, Cihan manages to reach Alya somehow when he pleads, 'I need you to communicate with me.' It's like his fears break past her barriers and, in turn, allow her to open up a little to him because she admits she doesn't know what to do, and then out comes the real question, 'Don't you feel anything?' Kudos to Cihan for not dodging the question and saying whatever he feels for her is just memory and gratitude. Salak. And I say salak with all my love, because he still misses the elephant in the room. The point is the imbalance. When we tell someone they're the only love of our life, we want an equal declaration in return. If not, the loop remains incomplete - with one side a little more invested than the other. And, CihAl's story thus far has been the opposite of imbalance. Their story is about symmetry; they reflect each other in love, in wounds, in loss. Basically everything. So, how is it that Alya's only love is Cihan, while his isn't? It's not. And that's where that necklace reveal becomes important, but we'll get to that later. For now, let's talk about that little talk in the car. The story itself is giving us hints that this imbalance won't last long, because the minute Alya talks about her first brush with romance is the moment jealous Cihan makes a return. He gets jealous of a nameless, formless, 16-year-old boy who once had the audacity to date his wife. That is, he can't tolerate a contender for Alya's affections even in memory. Cihan is extremely possessive about Alya, which is why he doesn't waste a moment to remind her she told him he's her only love. And Alya, being Alya, doesn't waste a moment in reminding him that he didn't. And then she turns the screw a little by telling Cihan not to burn his heart over her teenage crush because she never planned to marry her crush, nor is she conveniently living under the same roof with him. Mic drop. Cihan's face at that moment is a study in being hoist by one's own petard. Because he's expecting Alya to be okay with something he can't even stand the idea of. He's jealous as hell, but he can't do anything about it. But why is all this happening? Because one of Cihan's biggest truths is - he loved Meryem and lost her. In truth, he didn't love her, which is why he didn't fight hard enough, which is why he lost her. If Cihan had truly loved Meryem the way he loves Alya, he would have fought until the bitter end. Like he's doing for Alya. That's the truth. In Uzak, true love isn't passive - it demands to be seen, to be felt, it doesn't sit back quietly and accept defeat. In this story, love demands to be chosen. And Cihan didn't choose Meryem, not in the way it matters. So, why can't Cihan just accept the truth already? Fear and guilt, I think. Fear of the magnitude of what he feels for Alya, and what losing her would do to him. And guilt because some part of him knows he didn't do for Meryem what he's doing for Alya. And of course, now there's the burden of her shitty ex, too. Nonetheless, fate keeps pushing Cihan to realize the truth, over and over again in this episode. Another glimpse of how passive Cihan may have been in his relationship with Meryem is the dinner scene. Sadakat points out how much Meryem loved stuffed kebabs, and Cihan is barely listening. This is the same man who knows what Alya likes to eat when she's on break during duty. When Meryem points out Cihan's allergy, he says it was something he had in the past, but no longer. Almost like he's comparing the feelings he once had for her to an allergy. What an allegory. See? The signs are all there, but Cihan isn't picking up on them completely. Then fate ups the ante with the arrival of Chef Engin. The first thing Cihan asks Alya when Engin is gone is - Is that him? As in, is that the boy you said loved you? The man goes off the rails in 0 to 60 seconds, and keeps coming up with excuses like he may have changed his name or appearance. The idea of not being the only man in Alya's life makes him lose his cool while Alya rightly points out that she's not the one living with her 'first love' currently. Which then leads to Cihan spending the night at the office. So, fate manages to teach him one lesson here. Which is - ask only for that which you're ready to give. Cihan needs emotional exclusivity from Alya, but hasn't given her the same yet. He's not built to share Alya, not with the past, not with a memory, not with anything. But the second he feels even a fraction of what Alya's been going through, he unravels marvelously. And that's the entire point of that sequence. It's not just jealous drama, it's exposure. Cihan is slowly being led towards the one truth staring him in the face. That's where the necklace comes in. Thus far, Ciho seems to be operating under the misconception that Meryem has moved on, like him. But that necklace (and the video) prove otherwise. Meryem's current attachment to him throws neutrality out the window. Because Cihan will now have to set absolute boundaries, and in doing so, understand why he's setting them. Why what he feels for Alya leaves no room for anyone else because he can't stand the idea of something similar in Alya's past, present, or future. Because they are each other's exception, and everyone else was the rule. And that's it from me for now. Till later. Happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

Analyzing Episode 58. Season 2 aka Balancing the Scales This episode was some of Sinem and Ozan's best work. Their expressions landed every single time, and, frankly, short of screaming what the story is trying to say, they did everything they could to convince the audience that CihAl was, is, and will remain the endgame. With that out of the way, let's begin. We start the episode with Cihan shitting literal bricks as he sees Alya is already at the konak with Sadakat and Meryem arriving, right behind him. The reason is clear - he's caught in a difficult situation yet again. He doesn't want things to look like he's overriding Alya's existence in his life as its core, but circumstances keep making it so that he's put in awkward situations, which only compound his fear of pushing Alya past the point of no return. Meryem is all smiles and teeth at seeing the konak, but the minute her eyes land on Alya, her smile and her eyes drop to the floor. Almost like she was expecting something else entirely, but reality has shamed her. Her eyes remain downcast throughout the entire time she's walking towards Alya, as if Alya's the truth she can't cross eyes with. Alya, on the other hand, remains standing tall. She doesn't flinch, doesn't express any outward anger, but you can see the storm raging in her eyes. When Cihan tells her Meryem will have to stay at the konak, she merely looks at him and nods. And you can see terror mixed with shame (I think) on Cihan's face, but hers remains clear of emotion. And then she walks away, saying she needs to collect Deniz because she's tired. Now that's an exit. Poised, calm, and leaving behind an absolute massacre in the onlookers. The scene where Deniz meets Meryem is another masterpiece because it's very subtle in the message it delivers. Which is - human relations go beyond blood, beyond memory, beyond societal impediments, if the love on both sides is strong enough. When Deniz says he's named after his father, the little boy is telling the truth. Cihan may not be his father in blood, but he's the father Deniz loves, the father he chose for himself. Then the same message is repeated through Deniz about CihAl when Sadakat tries to create trouble by saying Alya and Cihan are divorced. To which Deniz innocently replies, they may be divorced now, but they can get married again. Again, highlighting the importance of human connection. CihAl keep choosing each other through whatever challenge life throws at them, because they love each other equally. Yes, marriages and divorce can be forced, but it's the presence or absence of love that determines the final outcome. Case in point, Alya's marriage to Boran, Cihan's marriage to Seyda, Nare with Ozkan, Zerrin and Demir, etc., etc. That's what anyone opposing CihAl doesn't understand. Love finds a way. Always. That's what the story has been about since the beginning - that love will stand strong in front of all, as long as what you feel is truly love, and not some imitation of it. Also, *hint* *hint* that's the second time someone has mentioned CihAl getting married again, so it's definitely coming. Now for the scene where Cihan and Alya talk in their room. Cihan is right to be afraid of Alya here because he's a first-hand witness to how Alya reacts when she's been betrayed. He's seen how she took off Boran's ring and buried it with him after she found out about the will. An extreme situation compared to this one, absolutely. But fears don't use logic. Cihan knows Alya is strong enough to move on, to rise from the ashes - her strength is what he loves and fears at the same time. So, when he says 'Think of the Cihan in Alya's eyes, I don't want to be that Cihan' he's saying I know it looks like I disregarded you and broke your trust again, but that's not how things were. He needs her to show emotions, not because it'll pander to his ego, but because that's a sign she's still involved. That she's not near the point where she says 'enough is enough.' Alya, on the flip side, can't show her emotions. Because, unlike what Cihan fears, it's because she's so in love with him, so involved, that she's afraid to even ask what Cihan feels. Because if she learns Cihan's past isn't just the past, that he still loves Meryem, it'll shatter her unlike anything else. Despite it all, Cihan manages to reach Alya somehow when he pleads, 'I need you to communicate with me.' It's like his fears break past her barriers and, in turn, allow her to open up a little to him because she admits she doesn't know what to do, and then out comes the real question, 'Don't you feel anything?' Kudos to Cihan for not dodging the question and saying whatever he feels for her is just memory and gratitude. Salak. And I say salak with all my love, because he still misses the elephant in the room. The point is the imbalance. When we tell someone they're the only love of our life, we want an equal declaration in return. If not, the loop remains incomplete - with one side a little more invested than the other. And, CihAl's story thus far has been the opposite of imbalance. Their story is about symmetry; they reflect each other in love, in wounds, in loss. Basically everything. So, how is it that Alya's only love is Cihan, while his isn't? It's not. And that's where that necklace reveal becomes important, but we'll get to that later. For now, let's talk about that little talk in the car. The story itself is giving us hints that this imbalance won't last long, because the minute Alya talks about her first brush with romance is the moment jealous Cihan makes a return. He gets jealous of a nameless, formless, 16-year-old boy who once had the audacity to date his wife. That is, he can't tolerate a contender for Alya's affections even in memory. Cihan is extremely possessive about Alya, which is why he doesn't waste a moment to remind her she told him he's her only love. And Alya, being Alya, doesn't waste a moment in reminding him that he didn't. And then she turns the screw a little by telling Cihan not to burn his heart over her teenage crush because she never planned to marry her crush, nor is she conveniently living under the same roof with him. Mic drop. Cihan's face at that moment is a study in being hoist by one's own petard. Because he's expecting Alya to be okay with something he can't even stand the idea of. He's jealous as hell, but he can't do anything about it. But why is all this happening? Because one of Cihan's biggest truths is - he loved Meryem and lost her. In truth, he didn't love her, which is why he didn't fight hard enough, which is why he lost her. If Cihan had truly loved Meryem the way he loves Alya, he would have fought until the bitter end. Like he's doing for Alya. That's the truth. In Uzak, true love isn't passive - it demands to be seen, to be felt, it doesn't sit back quietly and accept defeat. In this story, love demands to be chosen. And Cihan didn't choose Meryem, not in the way it matters. So, why can't Cihan just accept the truth already? Fear and guilt, I think. Fear of the magnitude of what he feels for Alya, and what losing her would do to him. And guilt because some part of him knows he didn't do for Meryem what he's doing for Alya. And of course, now there's the burden of her shitty ex, too. Nonetheless, fate keeps pushing Cihan to realize the truth, over and over again in this episode.

Meghan Markle is a Fucking LIAR. She sat on Oprah Winfrey’s couch in 2021 and dropped that bomb, claiming the royal family had “concerns and conversations” about how dark Archie’s skin might be. She and Prince Harry painted it as outright racism that hurt them deeply. They turned what Harry later described as early relationship talk into a global racial scandal. Now Tom Bower has written it in Betrayal laying it out clearly. Harry called that single teatime conversation with Charles and Camilla at Clarence House back in 2016 “light hearted banter.” He said it did not trouble him at all until Meghan weaponised it. Yet Omid Scobie, in Endgame, still pushed the wider story that “innocent Kate, the future Queen,” appeared deliberately stigmatised. Charles and Kate’s names were in the manuscript until publishers insisted they be removed. Scobie then hid behind “British laws” to avoid naming the “guilty royals,” while the supposed “several conversations” stayed vague and the damage was already done. Selective storytelling. Twisted narrative. Lies dressed up as truth. Catherine, Princess of Wales has never uttered one bad word about any of them. She has never run crying to the media. She has never built a brand on playing the victim or monetising her pain. She has taken every jealous swipe, every insinuation, every cheap shot from this bitter woman and still carries herself with real grace and zero public drama. Harry is a gutless disappointment. The same Harry who once warmly called Catherine “the sister I never had and always wanted.” He said she filled that gap in his life, that she was more sister than in law, that she made William happy and he was glad to have her in the family. He spoke fondly and treated her like actual family. Then he sat silent while his wife and her mouthpiece dragged her name into the racism smear by association. Some loyalty. Some backbone. He sold it all out for a grudge that keeps on giving. Omid Scobie the pathetic, unsuccessful hack whose entire career is now defined as Meghan Markle’s eager mouthpiece. He churns out books full of recycled Sussex talking points, convenient “errors,” and half truths that always seem to target the same people. Everyone saw through him from the start. His legacy is simply Meghan’s lapdog. Small. Sad. Embarrassing. The universe does not let self serving lies ride forever. Meghan can keep spinning her victim script, twisting old family chatter into oppression, rewriting every slight to maintain sympathy and stay in the spotlight. But the contradictions are piling up. The stories shift when convenient. And it is all circling back and hitting her exactly as it should. Catherine, Princess of Wales, will one day be Queen. Steady, dignified and genuinely respected by millions. Meghan will keep scraping the bottom of the barrel, right back where she started, only now more exposed, more disliked and more toxic than ever. The bitterness she has been stewing in is finally choking her. So Meghan Markle, you liar, eat shit. Rot in the miserable, grudge filled life you built on jealousy and manufactured outrage. The world is seeing you for exactly who you are. Catherine rises. You sink. And that is the real endgame.

Alfred Hitchcock & François Truffaut discuss "Marnie" (1964): "Truffaut: Long before it was actually made, there was some talk that it might mark Grace Kelly's comeback to the screen. It's taken from a Winston Graham novel, and I'd like to know which aspect of the book made you decide to do the film. Hitchcock: The fetish idea. A man wants to go to bed with a thief because she is a thief, just like other men have a yen for a Chinese or a colored woman. Unfortunately, this concept doesn't come across on the screen. It's not as effective as 'Vertigo' (1958), where Jimmy Stewart's feeling for Kim Novak was clearly a fetishist love. To put it bluntly, we'd have had to have Sean Connery catching the girl robbing the safe and show that he felt like jumping at her and r*p!ng her on the spot. Truffaut: Why is Marnie's hero so attracted to the girl? Is it that she depends on him because he knows her secret and can turn her over to the police, or is it simply that he finds it exciting to go to bed with a thief? Hitchcock: It's both of those things. Absolutely. Truffaut: I notice one contradiction within the film: Sean Connery is very good and he has a sort of animal-like quality that fits in perfectly with the sex angle of the story. Yet neither the script nor the dialogue ever really touches on this angle, and Mark Rutland is presented to the viewer simply as a protective character. Only by watching his face very closely can one sense your intention to lead the script into a less conventional direction. Hitchcock: That's true, but remember that I established at the outset that Mark had spotted Marnie. When he learns that she's robbed the safe, he says, "Oh yes, the girl with the pretty legs ..." In one of my early British pictures, Murder, I used the stream-of-consciousness technique. If I'd used that technique, we might have heard Sean Connery saying to himself, "I hope she hurries up and does the robbery so that I can catch her at it and possess her!" In this way we would have had a double suspense. We still would have played Mamie from Mark's point of view, and we'd have shown his satisfaction as he watches the girl. in the act of stealing. I actually thought of constructing the story in that way. I would have shown the man looking at-in fact, secretly watching-a real robbery. Then, he would have followed the thief, would have grabbed Mamie and made out. He had just happened on her. He would have taken her by force, while pretending to be outraged. But you can't really put these things on the screen. The public would reject them. They would say, "Oh no, that's not right. I don't believe it!" Truffaut: It's a pity, because that story would have been fascinating. I like Marnie very much as it is, but I feel that it's difficult for the public, because of the atmosphere, which is stifling, a little like a nightmare." (Excerpt from 'Hitchcock/Truffaut')

Analyzing Episode 60. Season 2 aka Motherhood Deconstructed I want to start this analysis with a disclaimer that I'll be writing about that kiss separately, because really, it deserves a post of its own. I'll talk about it here briefly, but this analysis will stick to the overall events of ep 60. To me, the main theme of this episode was motherhood. Be it Alya, Nare, Zerrin, Sadakat, and yes, even the dishrag. We see how these different women strive, suffer, and never stop trying to keep their children with them, all except one. So, let's begin. We start episode 60 with Alya and Cihan awaiting to conduct a DNA test on baby Simal, whom Kaya insists is his child. Long story short, Kaya is feeling a little pissed about Zerrin keeping the truth of Simal from him, and he has a point. But then, it's not like Zerrin has had a jolly good time pretending to play house with a creep like Demir. The only reason she relents is to keep her baby safe. So, it's a catch-22 situation, where both sides are right and wrong. But, it's not like we don't know these two will make up soon. What stood out to me in that sequence was Alya taking charge of ensuring Zerrin has access to her baby. She knows exactly what it is to be separated from one's child, and she's kind and brave enough to refuse to let anyone suffer through the same. So, in a way, Alya's motherhood doesn't just extend to Deniz. It encompasses her to the point where she shields all those she feels need protection. I also like the fact that she's taken Zerrin under her wing, because when the latter moves into the konak with Sadakat, she'll need all the help she can get. The next sequence begins at the hospital, where Nare is still hell-bent on continuing with the pregnancy, though at great risk to her life. This is another glimpse of motherhood the show gives us - in the shape of a woman who is so in love with her unborn child already, she's willing to risk death to bring it into the world. Contrasted to that is Sadakat, who's willing to lie or cheat to keep her daughter alive. Here is a ruthless kind of motherhood. Sadakat's love (if you can call it that) has always been wrapped in control, manipulation, and fear. But, still at the center of all her ugliness is a woman who doesn't want to lose her children. Nare is willing to die for her child, Sadakat is willing to kill Nare's child to ensure she lives - quite the compelling contrast. Different forms of motherhood, but both rooted in desperation. In the middle of all that, Meryem pops up like a bad penny. But even as she arrives in that room and Sadakat wants to keep her there, the awkward silence that envelops the space as she lingers is telling. She doesn't belong, it seems to say. But, there's another person who's starting to question their 'belonging' in this new version of the past that's come back - and of course, that's Alya. The more she sees Meryem infiltrate parts of her life beyond the konak, the more her exposed nerves are rubbed raw. This woman is so close to complete and utter exhaustion, it's heartbreaking. What's even more heartbreaking is that while she tries to be there for everyone, she herself cuts everyone off when she feels troubled. And that, to me, is where the episode quietly portrays the emotional labor aspect of being a mom. Alya mothers everyone around her. Nare, Zerrin, Kaya, and Deniz. Even Cihan at times. She absorbs pain, tries to stem chaos, protects others from falling apart, yet when it comes to her own fears and insecurities, she retreats inward completely. It's almost as if she believes she only deserves to be the shelter, never the one allowed to seek sanctuary. Because children who grow up thinking they've been abandoned grow up thinking love is a thing to be earned through caring or usefulness. So, instead of asking for comfort, they always end up providing it. But humans, even the strongest of the strong, have their limits. And, it's so clear that Alya is close to reaching hers. So, when Cihan is forced to relent and allow Mujgan and her son to the konak because Deniz wants it, Alya does what she does best - she withdraws and leaves the source of discomfort. That's why she tells Cihan she hates going to the konak now because every time she goes there, the spectre of Meryem and what she can snatch away becomes unavoidable. And, as blind as Cihan can be at times, he picks up on that. He knows exactly what she's trying to do, which is why he tries to redirect her attention to the fact that he hates going to the konak without Alya around, too. He wants to be wherever Alya is. In his own way, he's trying to tell her it doesn't matter who stays at that house; it's only home to Cihan when Alya is around. His words reach Alya, which is why she relents and visits the konak for a few hours, but then shit hits the fan again. We'll get to that, but first, let's talk about Meryem. Meryem's scene in the hospital with Mujgan reveals Meryem saying she can't tell Cihan about Serhat because she's not sure who the father is, and that she'd rather live in the hope that Serhat is the son of the man she loves, bla blah. Now, go back and think of all the versions of motherhood we've seen in this series, and indeed this episode. They all have one thing in common - that all the mothers did whatever they had to, and bore whatever came their way to ensure their babies stayed with them. No matter how much Alya, Zerrin, or Nare love their better halves, when push came to shove, they put their children first. Even Sadakat married Azem for Boran. All except one. Meryem. Meryem sent her son away and made it look like he was Mujgan's child, thereby erasing all his links to her. One could argue it was because she feared Feyyaz. But what's stopping her now? Let's assume what Meryem says is right and there's a 50 percent chance Serhat is Cihan's son. For a mother desperate to save her child from danger, those are pretty good odds, so why avoid the DNA test? Suppose Serhat turns out to be Feyyaz's son; even so, if she comes clean with Cihan, she knows he's the kind to help her, even if just to keep an innocent child safe. So, her version of motherhood sticks out like a sore thumb in the episode. In contrast, I found Alya's line, 'When it comes to my son, I put him before everything and everyone else,' much more fitting with the theme. Mothers on the defensive, who feel there's a threat to their child's wellbeing, will relent to even the most extreme measure - even if it tears their own being apart. Alya hates being away from Cihan. She hates that distance she imposes between them as much as Cihan, but she can't help it. Because the mother in her won't let her choose anything else. Which is why I say Serhat is almost like an afterthought to Meryem because his needs are never the focus. And I get the feeling that whatever Meryem is trying to hide threatens not her son, but likely the version of herself she's presented to the world. Even when I rewatched the kite flying scene, the way the camera pans into Serhat only once, but mostly focuses on Cihan and Alya after showing us Meryem is telling. Like this is a woman not going through hell because of her child, but because she's looking at a structure of acceptance she's no longer able to enter. Life at the konak, Cihan's family unit, his love for Alya and Deniz - it's everything that could have been hers once, but no longer. No matter how she tries, she no longer fits. And honestly, that’s why that sense of not belonging is even more overt in an episode about motherhood. Every other mother in this episode becomes messy because of love for their child. Nare breaks down. Zerrin panics. Sadakat manipulates openly. Alya practically emotionally disintegrates trying to hold everything together. Their feelings spill all over the place because motherhood, especially threatened motherhood, breaks people down. But Meryem remains oddly stoic throughout it all, except for a few tears. She's mostly careful and controlled, and always aware of who's watching her. Going back to the point of shit hitting the fan, when Alya discovers Meryem and Mujgan in Cihan's room, she doesn't buy Meryem's story for a bit. When Cihan tries to calm the situation, she dismantles the sorry excuse Meryem gives with two questions. In other words, her spidey senses pick up trouble, but she keeps it locked in because she doesn't want to appear as the jealous, unreasonable wife. But things come to a head anyway when Feyyaz cuts Cihan and Alya off on the road. Cihan seems to finally realize exactly the kind of trouble Meryem has unleashed in their lives when Feyyaz keeps eyeing Alya. Because to Feyyaz's psychotic mind, Cihan is keeping Meryem away from him, which makes Alya fair game. But when Cihan insists Alya return to the konak, Alya flat out refuses, and all the pressure that's been building inside her gets directed at Cihan. She knows deep down he's not at fault, but the fact that he's jumped into another situation without thinking of the danger, grates on her nerves. Which is why her default setting kicks in; she demands that Cihan bring Deniz to her and leave the apartment. Cihan, who is already reeling from Alya pulling back from him and the reality of Feyyaz targeting the only thing he truly holds dear, is desperate to stop Alya's isolation before she decides he's not worth all the misery she's suffering, and does what's worked for him once before in a desperate situation (the airport, anyone?). He forgets everything, pulls Alya in, and kisses the breath out of her. And, it works too, because for that moment, Alya stops spiraling long enough to simply feel. To stop calculating danger or bracing for abandonment. She feels loved and safe in Cihan's arms again. That's what makes that kiss so powerful. It isn't just the passion. It's the desperation behind it, on both sides. Cihan isn't kissing Alya because he wants to win an argument. He's kissing her because he's terrified, and he misses her. He's worried that if she keeps retreating inward, one day she'll retreat so far he won't be able to reach her anymore. Worried that all the fear, exhaustion, and pressure she's carrying will eventually make her decide loving him isn't worth the cost. And Alya responds because beneath all her anger, fear, and exhaustion, she loves him just as desperately. That's the irony of CihAl this season. They're not going to pieces because the love is weakening. They're going to pieces because the love has become so enormous that losing it feels catastrophic to both of them. To conclude, everything within ep 60, including the kiss, works so beautifully because technically everyone is unraveling. Every woman in this episode is fighting to protect something she loves, but the ways they do so reveal who they are at their core. Alya protects by sacrificing parts of herself. Nare protects by risking herself. Sadakat protects by controlling others. Zerrin protects by enduring humiliation. And Meryem... Meryem protects the narratives she builds. Her emotions, while visible, don't land with impact, almost as if they're missing a core ingredient. On the opposite end of the spectrum lie CihAl, whose love strips them bare, only for them to realize that retreat is no option. The only way forward for them is through - through fear, through exhaustion, through jealousy, through danger, and through every ugly and painful thing that loving someone this deeply awakens inside them. Because CihAl are incapable of loving each other halfway. Their love keeps dragging every hidden wound, every insecurity, every instinct to the surface until there is nowhere left to hide. And maybe that’s the real contrast episode 60 quietly builds toward: one side clinging to carefully maintained facades, the other being emotionally dismantled by a love too raw and overwhelming to remain controlled. Till later, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

Analyzing Episode 60. Season 2 aka Motherhood Deconstructed I want to start this analysis with a disclaimer that I'll be writing about that kiss separately, because really, it deserves a post of its own. I'll talk about it here briefly, but this analysis will stick to the overall events of ep 60. To me, the main theme of this episode was motherhood. Be it Alya, Nare, Zerrin, Sadakat, and yes, even the dishrag. We see how these different women strive, suffer, and never stop trying to keep their children with them, all except one. So, let's begin. We start episode 60 with Alya and Cihan awaiting to conduct a DNA test on baby Simal, whom Kaya insists is his child. Long story short, Kaya is feeling a little pissed about Zerrin keeping the truth of Simal from him, and he has a point. But then, it's not like Zerrin has had a jolly good time pretending to play house with a creep like Demir. The only reason she relents is to keep her baby safe. So, it's a catch-22 situation, where both sides are right and wrong. But, it's not like we don't know these two will make up soon. What stood out to me in that sequence was Alya taking charge of ensuring Zerrin has access to her baby. She knows exactly what it is to be separated from one's child, and she's kind and brave enough to refuse to let anyone suffer through the same. So, in a way, Alya's motherhood doesn't just extend to Deniz. It encompasses her to the point where she shields all those she feels need protection. I also like the fact that she's taken Zerrin under her wing, because when the latter moves into the konak with Sadakat, she'll need all the help she can get. The next sequence begins at the hospital, where Nare is still hell-bent on continuing with the pregnancy, though at great risk to her life. This is another glimpse of motherhood the show gives us - in the shape of a woman who is so in love with her unborn child already, she's willing to risk death to bring it into the world. Contrasted to that is Sadakat, who's willing to lie or cheat to keep her daughter alive. Here is a ruthless kind of motherhood. Sadakat's love (if you can call it that) has always been wrapped in control, manipulation, and fear. But, still at the center of all her ugliness is a woman who doesn't want to lose her children. Nare is willing to die for her child, Sadakat is willing to kill Nare's child to ensure she lives - quite the compelling contrast. Different forms of motherhood, but both rooted in desperation. In the middle of all that, Meryem pops up like a bad penny. But even as she arrives in that room and Sadakat wants to keep her there, the awkward silence that envelops the space as she lingers is telling. She doesn't belong, it seems to say. But, there's another person who's starting to question their 'belonging' in this new version of the past that's come back - and of course, that's Alya. The more she sees Meryem infiltrate parts of her life beyond the konak, the more her exposed nerves are rubbed raw. This woman is so close to complete and utter exhaustion, it's heartbreaking. What's even more heartbreaking is that while she tries to be there for everyone, she herself cuts everyone off when she feels troubled. And that, to me, is where the episode quietly portrays the emotional labor aspect of being a mom. Alya mothers everyone around her. Nare, Zerrin, Kaya, and Deniz. Even Cihan at times. She absorbs pain, tries to stem chaos, protects others from falling apart, yet when it comes to her own fears and insecurities, she retreats inward completely. It's almost as if she believes she only deserves to be the shelter, never the one allowed to seek sanctuary. Because children who grow up thinking they've been abandoned grow up thinking love is a thing to be earned through caring or usefulness. So, instead of asking for comfort, they always end up providing it. But humans, even the strongest of the strong, have their limits. And, it's so clear that Alya is close to reaching hers. So, when Cihan is forced to relent and allow Mujgan and her son to the konak because Deniz wants it, Alya does what she does best - she withdraws and leaves the source of discomfort. That's why she tells Cihan she hates going to the konak now because every time she goes there, the spectre of Meryem and what she can snatch away becomes unavoidable. And, as blind as Cihan can be at times, he picks up on that. He knows exactly what she's trying to do, which is why he tries to redirect her attention to the fact that he hates going to the konak without Alya around, too. He wants to be wherever Alya is. In his own way, he's trying to tell her it doesn't matter who stays at that house; it's only home to Cihan when Alya is around. His words reach Alya, which is why she relents and visits the konak for a few hours, but then shit hits the fan again. We'll get to that, but first, let's talk about Meryem. Meryem's scene in the hospital with Mujgan reveals Meryem saying she can't tell Cihan about Serhat because she's not sure who the father is, and that she'd rather live in the hope that Serhat is the son of the man she loves, bla blah. Now, go back and think of all the versions of motherhood we've seen in this series, and indeed this episode. They all have one thing in common - that all the mothers did whatever they had to, and bore whatever came their way to ensure their babies stayed with them. No matter how much Alya, Zerrin, or Nare love their better halves, when push came to shove, they put their children first. Even Sadakat married Azem for Boran. All except one. Meryem. Meryem sent her son away and made it look like he was Mujgan's child, thereby erasing all his links to her. One could argue it was because she feared Feyyaz. But what's stopping her now? Let's assume what Meryem says is right and there's a 50 percent chance Serhat is Cihan's son. For a mother desperate to save her child from danger, those are pretty good odds, so why avoid the DNA test? Suppose Serhat turns out to be Feyyaz's son; even so, if she comes clean with Cihan, she knows he's the kind to help her, even if just to keep an innocent child safe. So, her version of motherhood sticks out like a sore thumb in the episode. In contrast, I found Alya's line, 'When it comes to my son, I put him before everything and everyone else,' much more fitting with the theme. Mothers on the defensive, who feel there's a threat to their child's wellbeing, will relent to even the most extreme measure - even if it tears their own being apart. Alya hates being away from Cihan. She hates that distance she imposes between them as much as Cihan, but she can't help it. Because the mother in her won't let her choose anything else. Which is why I say Serhat is almost like an afterthought to Meryem because his needs are never the focus. And I get the feeling that whatever Meryem is trying to hide threatens not her son, but likely the version of herself she's presented to the world. Even when I rewatched the kite flying scene, the way the camera pans into Serhat only once, but mostly focuses on Cihan and Alya after showing us Meryem is telling. Like this is a woman not going through hell because of her child, but because she's looking at a structure of acceptance she's no longer able to enter. Life at the konak, Cihan's family unit, his love for Alya and Deniz - it's everything that could have been hers once, but no longer. No matter how she tries, she no longer fits.

Thank you to Sex Matters for asking Julia Gillard if sex matters. See, it’s Gillard’s amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act that removed the definition of “woman” & added “gender identity”, muddling the whole thing & allowing men who claim to be women to interpret the act to their advantage. The amendments took effect in 2013 but it’s not like the act has been working for the past 11 years. With the help of the Australian Human Rights Commission, many people & businesses have been intimidated into accepting men as women. I say “intimidated” because it is intimidating to receive an Australian Human Rights Commission complaint on the basis of alleged “gender identity discrimination” (under the Sex Discrimination Act… yes, none of it makes any sense) and have to either do everything the AHRC says or fight a lengthy & expensive Federal Court battle. The AHRC wanted me to pay the man who made the complaint against me $20,000, attend “sex & gender education”, allow him onto a female only platform & allow all men who claim to be women onto a female only platform. I said no. Not just because I want the platform to remain female only but because I am a woman & I reserve the right to say NO to men when they trespass my boundaries. So I said NO to the AHRC. What resulted has been an almost 3 year long battle. It started when I was 15 weeks pregnant. My daughter will be turning 3 when the appeal to the first Federal Court decision is heard in appeal to the Full Federal Court (3 judges). She will be 4 years old if/when it goes to the High Court. But I want her to grow up in a country where she has rights, including the right to say NO to a man in a dress. What mother would ever stop fighting for her daughter? In the Tickle v Giggle decision, the judge said that “indirect discrimination” occurred “on the basis of gender identity”. It didn’t. He was blocked from the app on the basis of sex - and his sex is male. A simple DNA test would prove that. My eyes clearly saw it. The judge, with the help of the AHRC’s absurd interpretation of the law & reality, said that “sex is changeable”. It isn’t. Sex is immutable. However, Gillard’s amendments along with state-based changes to birth certificate legislation that allows men to edit their BC to the opposite of their biological sex has created the concept of “legal sex”. Legal sex is gender identity aka gender ideology. It obliterates women’s rights to say NO to men if that man declares himself to be a woman. And that leads to verdicts of “indirect discrimination on the basis of gender identity”, despite not knowing or caring that he has a gender identity. Sex matters. This law has to change, and it will, in part because of Giggle v Tickle & everyone who supports the case, but also because of the hard work of every woman who is speaking up and saying NO to this absurd situation. We’re saying what Julia Gillard should have said in 2013. While she (evidently) can’t answer the question, I know that sex matters to Julia Gillard. I know this because she basked in being Australia’s first woman Prime Minister and has dined out on the fact for almost 10 years. Without the reality of sex, her achievement becomes obsolete. With what she did with her achievement, her legacy has become devastating. I have a lot of respect for people who admit they got something wrong. It happens. We’re all only human (and humans don’t change sex). I hope Julia Gillard takes the opportunity to admit it some time. In the meantime, women around Australia (and the world) will continue to do the work to ensure that we can say NO to men who claim to be women. Sex matters. Gender identity does not.
