── 《沉桥未晚》 #GuoYuxin x #WangDaotie I really love this version so much. It feels so warm and sweet. Their everyday interactions are incredibly comforting — two people slowly growing closer, falling in love naturally, with chemistry overflowing at every step. And the chemistry between them is insane… especially during their kisses 🔥🫣 This is the third version, and here the female lead truly loves the male lead—her feelings are clear and genuine. In the previous versions, especially the second one, I didn’t really feel her love fully, and her situation with her ex made everything feel a bit messy and emotionally tangled until the end. I really love the female lead in this version. She’s thoughtful, gentle, emotionally strong, and independent. When she feels loved, she responds clearly and knows what she wants. She also maintains healthy boundaries with her annoying, childish ex-boyfriend and stays calm and rational throughout. Through her daily life and interactions with her husband, she slowly opens her heart, realizes where she truly belongs, and also wants to get to know him more deeply. The male lead has secretly loved her for years, and after finding out she’s single again, he confidently proposes marriage. Calm and composed on the surface, he’s actually deeply emotional—his eyes reveal jealousy, longing, and restraint he tries to hide. Even when provoked, he responds directly instead of staying passive. The contrast between his cool exterior and secretly clingy, deeply devoted heart makes him incredibly endearing, especially as his jealousy only makes him love her more gently and attentively 🥹 After marriage, he becomes the ultimate “daddy-type” husband. He doesn’t say much, but he takes care of every detail in her life. He handles problems maturely and remembers everything she says—like knowing she loves coconut chicken, so he cooks it for her, or remembering her wish to see snow, which she once mentioned in an interview. He keeps all her preferences and wishes close to his heart and spoils her in the most thoughtful, silent ways.

One of the first times The Sopranos tells you exactly what kind of show it is comes when Meadow asks Tony a very simple question: “Are you in the Mafia?” Tony doesn’t answer like a criminal who has been caught. He answers like an offended suburban father. He talks about waste management. Italian-American stereotypes. The insult of his own daughter believing such a thing. “There is no Mafia.” It would almost work if Meadow were still a child. But she has lived in that house her entire life. She has seen the money, the visitors and the way certain conversations suddenly stop when she enters a room. She isn’t asking because she needs information. She is giving Tony a chance to stop insulting her intelligence. “Dad, I’ve lived in the house all my life.” That is the line that punctures the whole performance. Tony thinks he has kept his two lives separate. Meadow quietly tells him that the separation never existed. Eventually, he gives her something: “Part of my income comes from legitimate businesses.” A perfect Tony Soprano confession. Not quite a lie, but nowhere near the truth. He admits just enough to feel honest while keeping everything ugly safely unnamed. And Meadow sees exactly what he is doing. The strange part is that Tony almost seems proud of her. She figured him out. She is smart enough to see through the waste-management story and force him closer to the truth than most people ever get. But closer is as far as Tony can go. He wants the intimacy of being an honest father without surrendering the secrecy that keeps him alive as a gangster. He cannot have both. That conflict is already there in the first season. Tony can hide evidence, intimidate witnesses and lie to investigators. But the FBI needs proof. Meadow doesn’t.

Watch this video keenly, Then you will understand what I will write below: — I don't know how many times I will say this, When it is time to sex your woman, Do it and do it well. Be ruthless. She is not an egg. She is not fragile. She craves a powerful, masculine moment that lowers her and belittles her. She wants a man to calm her ovaries and soothe her chaotic hormones. That is what she wants. If you don't, then that is your problem. Blame yourself. Every time you walk in the streets, you meet women who are so sad, disappointed and angry. All these chaotic women on social media are crying for help. They want a man so desperately to fuck the nonsense out of their heads. These women are under-fucked. They are overworked, underpaid, underfed, and overstimulated by the availability of sensual triggers all over the place. Music, Videos, Conversations, Situations, Social media, Amerix, All these triggers tickle their fertility hormones, making them wet and confused. It is the reason why a stranger with the guts of a night-runner is able to convince them for a one-night fling. 100% of gender conflicts will end the day these women will get men who don't entertain them. Screw these women so hard so that they can align and respect themselves. Most of them are petulant and bellicose because no man is calming their reproductive anxieties. I have not said you start sleeping with random women. I have not told you to be promiscuous. Promiscuity is despicable. I have said, if you are in a relationship, when it is time to slide into her pants, fuck her so hard. It is shameful to be meeting desperate, angry and sad women in the streets just because in their relationships, the man is unable to do what nature has commanded him to do. A Swahili proverb says, "Kitanda kisipovunjika, ndoa itavunjika." Translation: If the bed doesn't get broken, the marriage will instead be broken. #ManDay

This is actually a pretty good description of (some) things that will get girls chasing you. (While you generally don’t want to listen to female dating advice for men, a woman simply DESCRIBING what men have done with her that worked can be very informative.) In this case, the guy was using: ✅ Confident, self-possessed body language. She doesn’t say it, but I guarantee you he had great posture, moved slowly and deliberately but smoothly, and took up space. Doubtless had excellent eye contact. ✅ At some point (ONCE he had her INVESTED enough) he asked her if she thought he was ‘hot’. This was deep in the second date, probably after some good bonding or connection so she doesn’t want to burst the bubble by saying something other than ‘yes’. What this did was trigger a psychological concept called COMMITMENT-CONSISTENCY where, once someone has verbally agreed to something, that person then feels compelled to act in-line with it, and even reorients his or her views to match what was said. (You can read about this in Robert Cialdini’s book “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion”, where he has a ton more studies + examples.) ✅ Once he had her out the third time, he could tell she wasn’t into him enough yet, but was invested enough to have come out multiple times, so he just hung back and gave her space to chase. What happens when she chases? Well, that is simple enough: she starts to like you more (then more!). (Also, you might think his dogged follow up of her was ‘chasing’, especially if you are the type who only texts a girl once or twice then quits if she isn’t all about it… however: there is a right way and a wrong way to follow up doggedly. The fact that this guy got another date and she started chasing him tells you he did it the right way. The right way is ‘persistence’, rather than ‘pursuit’.) A lot of guys now don’t use (or know) game at all… they’re just totally winging it on “does she instantly feel me or not?” You may not believe it until you try it for yourself, but yeah, there is a reason men have been doing this stuff with women since Ovid’s time and before… probably since long before recorded history. If you want her to CHASE, you need to get her invested enough to be willing to — then, after that, you must create the SPACE for her to chase you in!

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

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

SN1 EP2: VICTIMIZATION I don't delete stuff online usually. Folks who have dug up my old content, have a clue of the much love I had for my little thriving family. One would wonder 'what went wrong?'. The plot twist was started by toxic friends and family members of my baby mama who took center stage in our family. They ill advised her to become the man in the house. Her daily routine gravitated around demeaning sneers, verbal artillery, toxic attitudes, victimization and all the disrespectful deeds. These behaviours were witnessed by a few of my close friends in broad day light. I didnt just record her on that last day out of the blue. I had recorded her a couple of times majorly to defend myself to my inner circles because everytime she started up a fuss, she would later blackmail me to my friends. I shared these videos a couple of times with them and confided in them about my family issues. The number of times she held out a knife and other objects for me is not below 10, but in her TV interviews, she claims that was the only time. I lost most of the recorded content, but my closer friends knew of her toxicity. I held on to the relationship because of my exuberant love for my son, I never wanted to watch him slip away from me. After a scuffle that last day, which almost got my eye out narrowly, she went ahead to unleash the verbal artillery, a skill she had perfected. She said ill things about my son, and that's when I decided to let her go with my son against my wish. Her move to go to the village that Christmas was baseless and I had suspected infidelity prior. She came back after two weeks in the middle of the night without my son. I couldn't admit her in because I feared she could have ill plans against me that night. I had packed her things previously, so I put them at the balcony in the next morning for the sake of sanity and my own mental wellness. These scenes have been traumatizing to me since. I had healed and moved on from those despicable scenes, but as for now, I'm getting fresh relapses. All I have wanted is access to my son and integral decision making opportunity in his life. Family and friends of my baby mama rule and I have no say when they take a particular path in my son's affairs. Whenever I ask to have the boy, the mother sparks off. My sources prove, she doesn't see the boy eye to either in many weeks because she is always "in field" trips. When she gets to the boy, harsh texts and calls buzz my phone asking for this and that. My boy has always been turned into a skit actor of extortion whenever the mother wants money for her own endeavors. I have had free offers from my family circles getting the boy a decent school, but the mother has turned that down claiming I want to 'kidnap' the boy and cut ties with her. The world always listens to a woman, and I respect that. But I wish my son to be under my custody as his father. I deserve an equal position on the table of decision making. Using the boy as a meal card is the reason I am a deadbeat father. Using my son as super glue to get us back, and to no avail, is the reason I am a deadbeat father. Using my boy as a tool to one sided legal advisors is the reason I am a deadbeat father. I seek redress on the surface of this universe, and if I can't get it, I will rather try mars than accept an injustice in exchange for my son's plight. Some of what I type on here, is evidenced in the clip below. I have no doubts about being the father of that boy, even when the mother claims otherwise. Victimization has been her upper hand, but I will not submit to it this time. I thank you all.

Faith Evans’ consistent narrative is that nothing sexual happened with 2Pac‼️; she has always denied sleeping with him‼️. Her fullest account appears in her 2008 memoir *Keep the Faith* and later interviews (including with VladTV)‼️. According to her⁉️: - She met Tupac at a club in Los Angeles (introduced via Treach of Naughty by Nature) shortly after his prison release‼️. He flattered her about her music and asked her to sing on a track‼️. - She claims she did not know he was signed to Death Row (rival to Bad Boy) until she arrived at the studio (Can-Am) and saw Death Row affiliates‼️. She has said she got Biggie’s okay for the collab and was focused on getting paid‼️. - She recorded the chorus for “Wonda Why They Call U Bitch” (from *All Eyez on Me*)‼️. After the session she was owed money (she has cited figures like $25,000 in some accounts)‼️. Tupac said the payment would come at his hotel (the Peninsula)‼️. - At the hotel, after others left, his demeanor changed‼️. He referenced the Quad Studios shooting (“niggas set me up that night”), said something to the effect of “If I give it to you, then you my bitch,” and propositioned her for oral sex in what she described as a “very surprising and offensive way.”‼️ She viewed it as a setup/plan‼️. She refused, left without the money, and has always maintained they never had sex‼️. In a 1996 Video Music Box interview (around the time of the beef), she also denied any involvement and called Tupac’s stories concocted‼️. She has repeatedly framed herself as used as a pawn in the East-West/Bad Boy–Death Row conflict‼️. 2Pac told a completely different story‼️. He publicly claimed they had sex and used it as a weapon against Biggie‼️. The most famous version is on the 1996 diss track “Hit ’Em Up”: “You claim to be a player, but I fucked your wife…” (and related lines about “that’s why I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker”)‼️. In interviews he was more coy but clearly leaned into the claim‼️. In the February 1996 *Vibe* interview with Kevin Powell (the “Live from Death Row” cover story), when asked about rumors of spending time with Faith outside the studio, he responded along the lines of “You mean the rumor that I fucked her⁉️” with laughter, and elsewhere said things like “I don’t kiss and tell” while an anonymous source in the piece described them as “very, very close.”‼️ A *New York Times Magazine* profile of Suge Knight around the same period included Suge teasing Pac about a shirt supposedly from Faith and Pac responding in a salacious tone that he “did enough.”‼️ Multiple people close to Tupac (cousins, associates like Desiree Smith, Dru Down, producers, and others who have spoken over the years) have said he told them privately that he slept with her‼️sometimes framing it as revenge after the Quad shooting, sometimes as something that happened after the studio session or hotel visit‼️. Accounts vary on exact details and timing, and some conflict with Faith’s timeline (e.g., claims she came to the hotel more willingly or in disguise, or that contact continued afterward)‼️. Faith has always rejected these as lies or exaggerations used to escalate the beef‼️. In short: Faith’s version is a professional collab that turned into an unwanted sexual proposition she rejected, with no sex occurring‼️. Tupac’s version (in lyrics, interviews, and private claims relayed by others) is that they did have sex, which he then publicly weaponized against Biggie‼️. The contradiction is direct and has never been reconciled; it remains one of the most contested personal elements of the East-West Coast feud‼️💯.

🚨| Natalie Pinkham on AD21: "I couldn't explain it to my kids." She speaks on her 'most enduring memory' of that day and maintains that Sir Lewis Hamilton "walked away from that moment with more fans globally than if he'd won an eighth world title because of the way he handled it." : "One of the problems that I had with 2021 personally was I couldn't explain it to my kids, and if I can't explain it to my kids, how can we as broadcasters explain it to the viewers, the public at large? How can anyone really understand it? Not least of all the protagonists, not least of all Lewis, you know." "So I tell you what, for me the most enduring memory of that day was seeing Anthony Hamilton go up and whisper in his son's ear and to this day I've never asked him what he said to his son. I don't want to know because it was such a private moment on a very public stage, but whatever it was, it was enough for Lewis to walk up to Max and shake him by the hand, look him in the eye and I thought, my God, if anything we can take out of this its this incredible moment for children everywhere to see how to deal with adversity and defeat graciously, magnanimously and I still contend to this day that Lewis walked away from that moment with more fans globally than if he'd won an eighth world title because of the way he handled it. It was just incredible." "Yeah, no, and by the way, I didn't want or expect to get drawn into the 2021 thing or take us into it, but I always say as well this wasn't Max's fault, like Max was a deserved winner as well, like you saw some of the performances he put in that season. If you could have split the title in two, both of them were just incredible champions that year and it was a shame that it ended the way it did because actually that overshadowed what was an epic year of racing."

She speaks on her 'most enduring memory' of that day and maintains that Sir Lewis Hamilton "walked away from that moment with more fans globally than if he'd won an eighth world title because of the way he handled it." : "One of the problems that I had with 2021 personally was I couldn't explain it to my kids, and if I can't explain it to my kids, how can we as broadcasters explain it to the viewers, the public at large? How can anyone really understand it? Not least of all the protagonists, not least of all Lewis, you know." "So I tell you what, for me the most enduring memory of that day was seeing Anthony Hamilton go up and whisper in his son's ear and to this day I've never asked him what he said to his son. I don't want to know because it was such a private moment on a very public stage, but whatever it was, it was enough for Lewis to walk up to Max and shake him by the hand, look him in the eye and I thought, my God, if anything we can take out of this its this incredible moment for children everywhere to see how to deal with adversity and defeat graciously, magnanimously and I still contend to this day that Lewis walked away from that moment with more fans globally than if he'd won an eighth world title because of the way he handled it. It was just incredible." "Yeah, no, and by the way, I didn't want or expect to get drawn into the 2021 thing or take us into it, but I always say as well this wasn't Max's fault, like Max was a deserved winner as well, like you saw some of the performances he put in that season. If you could have split the title in two, both of them were just incredible champions that year and it was a shame that it ended the way it did because actually that overshadowed what was an epic year of racing."

Analyzing Episode 33. Season 3 aka Of Breaking Out, Waking Up and Fighting Together Evvvveeeettttt. Feels good to be back at analyzing Far City. And, it feels especially good to analyze ep 33 because it was a whopper of an episode. The flow of events, the dialogues, and the acting were all top-notch. Brilliant work. Now, let's get down to business. The episode kicks off with Sadotor (an amalgamation of Sadakat and dementor because fcuk if this woman doesn't suck all the happiness from any room she's in) kicking up a fuss and demanding Ciho and Alya get divorced. Now, I don't know if you've read my analysis of the Far City title song, but in it, I said from the lyrics and picturization of 'de mardin', it seems like Uzak Sehir is a tale of a land lost within its own oppressive history, crying out for a change. And the catalyst for that change is none other than Alya Albora. In the opening scene of ep 33, I was reminded yet again of why Alya is such an important character for this story - not just for Cihan, but also for Albora. Because Alya doesn't stand silent in the face of injustice or wrongdoing. She speaks out. Fearlessly. And each of her words helps lighten some of the burden of systematic abuse, both in the Albora family and the land. Some folks were calling out Alya for not loving Cihan enough or feeling something for Boran in ep32. I hope y'all have been satisfied. Because the only thing Alya feels for Frankenboran is disdain and anger. Rightly so. When Sadakat tries to pin the blame of 'shameless' on Alya and Cihan, Alya reads her the riot act and reminds her exactly of all the things Sadator has done that she should be ashamed of. She reminds her of the will imposed on her and Cihan. Something that Boran should be ashamed of. And then she points out that the only victims in this sorry tale are her, Cihan, and Deniz, because it's their lives that Boran and Sadator almost destroy. Lives that Sadotor is still trying to destroy. And let me tell you - THANK GOD. Because it was about time someone started speaking the truth in that household. That what Boran did wasn't some kind of supreme sacrifice - it was extreme selfishness. Like Alya says, when Boran sends her to Albora, to Sadotor, he knows exactly the kind of hell his mother is capable of unleashing. But instead of being truthful to his wife, Frankenboran gives Cihan one set of instructions, Vurgun another set of instructions, and tells Alya nothing at all. A more assholish move I've yet to see from a husband. Suffice it to say, Alya Albora wipes the floor with Sadotor with the truth. Because the truth can be a weapon in the hands of the oppressed, as long as they have the courage to speak. Something that's highly necessary for the Albora clan. My queen, that's all I can say for Alya. Now, let's switch to Ciho. Just like people were calling Alya ungrateful last week, folks are lynching Ciho for being a 'coward.' Le sigh. I mean, if that's the way you wanna go, no one's gonna stop you. But Cihan Albora is no coward. He's just a man, catching up to his learning curve. When Cihan tells Sadotor 'I wish you weren't my mom' I felt heartbroken for him. I was also incredibly, incredibly proud. Because just like Alya is breaking out of the circle of abuse, Cihan is waking up to his mother's constant, vile manipulation. The next scene that most stood out was Alya and Cihan's heart-to-heart along the banks of the Tigris. And, once again, let me say, I LOVE Alya Albora. She does love fearlessly, this woman. Which is why she tells Cihan outright that when Boran wakes up, she will divorce his ass. So, why does Cihan not come up with an equally kick-ass declaration? Because he's like the Eupharates, remember? Silent waters run deep, and Cihan's character isn't one to rush. Does that mean he's having second thoughts about Alya? HELL NO. The reason he's hesitant is because 1. he's not sure about Alya's feelings (until she tells him in that moment), and 2. he's the one who'll be burning bridges when this showdown happens. He doesn't regret falling in love with Alya, but when you're standing at the edge of a precipice, about to take a leap of faith, you can't help but think about what you're about to do. I know a lot of you had problems with him calling Alya Boran's wife legally, but he's trying to give her room and gauge her reaction. Remember, this is the guy who forces Alya to marry him in the beginning, and he still regrets that. He doesn't want a repeat. Then there's the fact that whether Alya wants to stay with him or go back to Boran is her decision. He knows that. He's shit scared of it, but he knows, if either Deniz or Alya wants to 'go back' to the status quo, they'd be well within their rights. He even says as much. So he keeps asking what if Boran wants you, because saying what if you want Boran is beyond horror. It's a death sentence for Cihan, and he knows it. His efforts finally bear fruit when Alya tells him straight up, she doesn't want Boran and that she wants to stay with the man she loves. The relief on Cihan's face is palpable then. Cihan once tells Sahin that when making a decision, it's best to focus on what you'll be giving up to help make up your mind. Alya is his very life; he makes that clear when he says, 'Sen bana nefes oldu.' So, giving her up is not an option. What that also means is that the brotherhood he's prized all his life (whether rightly or wrongly) will fall under fire, and he won't be able to stop it. And, how that will affect other parts of their lives is up in the air, so you can't blame the man for taking a moment to process. Neither he nor Alya have it easy, but in this case, Alya feels easier to break away. Cihan needs to shed a lifetime of memories he's burdened with. But, despite all that, I'm glad Alya tells him that if he doesn't have the courage to stand with her, she won't go back to Boran. As jarring as her words are, they act as a sort of wake-up call. Reminding Cihan what's at stake. That's needed, and you can see the effect they have almost a few scenes later. When Cihan is talking to Sadotor to ask her to leave Deniz alone, he finally drops his nice-guy act and threatens her exactly the way she operates. Tit for tat. And that made me really happy, because both he and Alya will need to be unrepentant and perhaps even ruthless to save their relationship from what's coming. What sets CihAl apart is their ability to read each other and to communicate. That comes through very clearly in this episode. Another thing that's made obvious is that these two not only belong together (Dicla and Firat) but also that they're never going to give up on each other. To wrap things up, ep 33 marks another turning point in CihAl's lives. This episode seemed to give me 'emancipation' vibes. Alya tears down the walls of guilt and silence that surround Albora ailesi. Meanwhile, Cihan starts taking apart the shackles his past and Sadotor's manipulation have forged around him since childhood. Both Cihan and Alya stop being just survivors and start becoming active fighters in their story, and I loved each minute of it. Till next time, happy reading y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

Dumbing Down II "By Faith, this is the last rent I am paying as a single lady. If you support me to pay this rent, by the grace of God, this time next year, I will be in my husband's house." is back begging for support to pay another rent. Not because God didn't bring eligible suitors her way, but because her PASTOR has replaced the Holy Spirit in her life. Pastors ruin a lot of destinies when they insist on playing God instead of their primary role as destiny guides. Many members have submitted their free will to their pastors, giving their pastors the power that God himself didn't take from us from the dawn of creation. When you take the ability of the individual to act as a free agent in the name of religion, you reduce him or her to a puppet and yourself to a puppeteer. You want to pull the strings of the lives of thousands of born-again Christians at the same time while rendering them useless to follow their paths in Christ and grow into mature sons. I was at a Church in Anthony village about three years ago to minister, and I met this young man who was schooled at a very prestigious university in the USA. He was the in-house IT consultant of the church, and the pastor placed him on a monthly stipend while he was working for God. It was the Pastor who introduced the young man to me while boasting that God had given him the most capable hands to help him in ministry. I asked him if he had any Python, Java, cloud engineering, data management, digital marketing, coding, or similar tasks available for the young man in the church. He said no. I said, "You are giving this young man the job that any young school leaver who is proficient in computer appreciation can do, and you don't see it as limiting his capabilities and rendering his skills obsolete?" You would rather boast that you are ruining a destiny to build up your own profile rather than set this young man on the path of excellence? Did God call him into ministry as a preacher? Is he understudying you in preparation for his own ministry? The pastor said, "No, I plan that as the church expands, he will head our digital infrastructure and position us for the future." I said, "He can do that as a consultant or even as a member, he shouldn't be doing that while you are paying him 100,000 Naira a month. He should be out there, flying with his peers and earning in dollars! The only exception is if the Lord has called him to be a preacher and he is understudying you as your personal assistant, as led by the Lord as part of his season of preparation. Anything other than that is injurious to his destiny!" The pastor had never seen it that way When I was done ministering in the church, the young man hugged me and thanked me profusely. He said his mother sent him to the pastor when he returned from the USA and the pastor immediately told him that God had need of him in the ministry or he would die without fulfilling his purpose. Why do pastors do this? I have another case from the Northern part of Nigeria. A young lady reached out to me seeking clarity regarding her future She said her Apostle told her she has been raised by God to sing in his church choir, but she is a medical doctor by training and desires to further her studies abroad Every time she raised the issue with the Apostle, he shut her down and told her she was struggling with the will of God "Why can't you just submit to God and serve in the choir and watch as God will take your voice all over the world as this ministry grows?" The young lady said she knows she has a good voice and sings very well as one who is full of the Holy Spirit, but she does not want to be "Sinach", she wants to fulfil her dream of practising as a Pediatrician. She was wary of incurring the wrath and curse of the Apostle, however, and did not know how to extricate herself from the situation. The apostle did not see anything wrong with his actions because he was a user of people who believed that in order to fulfill his own desire to become a big ministry, others could not thrive and grow in their visions and ministries as ordained by God. This is witchcraft. It is not of God. Jesus didn't lead his disciples this way. Insecurity is the undoing of many African so-called Pastors and Spiritual leaders, and they hide behind the illusion of divinity to put others in bondage. I experienced this firsthand as a young graduate, so I understand how a pastor trying to build his ministry could see the potential in a young man or woman and try very hard to turn such a person into servants and house helps in the name of discipling them or training them for kingdom relevance You graduate from the University and join the labour force, you apply for many jobs, and at a point, you tell yourself it is important to seek supernatural guidance in your quest to fulfil destiny Somebody somewhere tells you about a church or a ministry, you join, and you are convinced the church is good. You also tell your friends, and they join. But you are all fresh graduates who are heading into the future one way or the other, but this pastor wants you to be his flock. To him, his church of ten members had suddenly become a church of 30 members because of you guys, and he wants to keep the numbers growing, so he begins to give you prophesies that were not of God but with the aim of keeping you in the fold for as long as possible. He told young graduates who ought to go for NYSC that God is telling him they should give it up for service to God in the vineyard. The mother of two of the ladies in the fellowship, whose daughters told that the pastor told them not to go for NYSC, quickly removed them from the fellowship before the seed of corruption being planted by this pastor would bear fruit The others also left as soon as they could gather their wit People who you ought to guide on their path in sincerity ran as far as they could from you based on how you chose to manipulate rather than nurture them. A married woman whose husband worked abroad was a trained secretary, and while her husband was abroad, catering to the needs of the family, he begged her to stop working so that she could focus on raising the children. She was raising five children all by herself, and combining this with a job seemed a bit too much at the time. One of the vital institutions for raising godly children was the church This woman attended church regularly with her children and even volunteered to spend any free time she had typing the pastor's sermons, Sunday School pamphlets, handouts, books, journals, and other church reports and documents She was not officially employed to do the work; she just saw that she could take some of the secretarial duties on during her downtime, and she did so with all sincerity. The church enjoyed her free services for five years until the pastor forgot completely that she was doing the church a favour One day, the woman came to church to tell the pastor that her husband would be returning home to visit the family, and she would not be available for a few days because she had to pick her husband up from the airport and ensure that he settled in properly. Unfortunately, that weekend was the weekend of the church's anniversary, and the pastor had a lot of secretarial work to do. He told the woman God said she should pick one. Heaven or marriage. He said if she goes to pick her husband from the airport, she has chosen the world and forsaken the Lord. The woman wept all the way home, It was not the thank you, thou faithful servant report she had worked day and night for many years to get that she received. She went to pick her husband from the airport and distanced herself from any church founded by any individual after that experience. She said the ambition of church founders requires that they use people to build, even though they lacked the resources to pay or compensate such people, so they resort to blackmail, coercion, lies, fake prophesies, promises, and manipulations to get things done while keeping their followers on a leash. Followers are also enablers as they refuse to read the Bible for themselves and walk in the light of the word of God. No one should be able to take you captive in the name of God, Jesus, all the angels, or any form of miracle if you know the word of God. The word of God is profitable to make one wise, and therefore, anyone who knows the word of God cannot fall victim to any false doctrine, teaching, spiritual manipulations, or lies. All the false teachings of someone being a covering for someone else came from these manipulative narratives, and believers should be wise to them. I have seen a pastor declare that his church is the only church in Africa that is licensed by God to take people to heaven, and some members believed him. The day he said that, all his members ought to laugh, pick up their Bibles, and leave without looking back. Self-aggrandisement has become the order of the day in some churches, the pastor sells himself as the be-all and end-all of the member's spiritual enlightenment, and the members sheepishly surrender their eyes of their understanding to him or her. He or she must determine where they work, whom they marry, who they associate with, whose music they must listen to, and whose sermons they must hear. If they want to travel, he must see if the road is clear on their behalf, if they want to build a house, he must approve, if he does not dedicate their baby, the baby is illegitimate. This is not the faith Christ or the Apostles died for. Jesus died that you might be free of religion. Christianity is not a religion, it is the opposite. It is individualistic and determined by the faith and belief system of the one rather than the many. Salvation, therefore, is a personal affair, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit is also a personal affair Religion is the opium of the masses, and Christianity is the salvation of the individual and his or her walk with God. When we fellowship together, we do so not so we can get brainwashed by one "super Christian" but so that we can minister to the Lord and minister to one another in the presence of God. Every believer must hold this truth to be self-evident. PS: Someone sent me the video of a pastor condemning a song recently released by a fellow believer, which is making a global impact The Pastor represents an old school of Christians who are unfit to be custodians of the gospel due to their rigidity and limited understanding of the finished work of Christ. Disciples of the gospel of Works and Performance lack creativity and discernment but are good stewards of rigidity and religious doctrines. In other words, a Pharisee must act like one, and Jesus must act like Jesus. We are all just being true to our nature. "I can never go back o No...No It's already too late o No...No Where Am I going to... No...No" If you read to this point, when I was in Spain, I asked a very important question about a meal. If you know the answer, I'm inside the comment section. -GSW-

One of the vital institutions for raising godly children was the church This woman attended church regularly with her children and even volunteered to spend any free time she had typing the pastor's sermons, Sunday School pamphlets, handouts, books, journals, and other church reports and documents She was not officially employed to do the work; she just saw that she could take some of the secretarial duties on during her downtime, and she did so with all sincerity. The church enjoyed her free services for five years until the pastor forgot completely that she was doing the church a favour One day, the woman came to church to tell the pastor that her husband would be returning home to visit the family, and she would not be available for a few days because she had to pick her husband up from the airport and ensure that he settled in properly. Unfortunately, that weekend was the weekend of the church's anniversary, and the pastor had a lot of secretarial work to do. He told the woman God said she should pick one. Heaven or marriage. He said if she goes to pick her husband from the airport, she has chosen the world and forsaken the Lord. The woman wept all the way home, It was not the thank you, thou faithful servant report she had worked day and night for many years to get that she received. She went to pick her husband from the airport and distanced herself from any church founded by any individual after that experience. She said the ambition of church founders requires that they use people to build, even though they lacked the resources to pay or compensate such people, so they resort to blackmail, coercion, lies, fake prophesies, promises, and manipulations to get things done while keeping their followers on a leash. Followers are also enablers as they refuse to read the Bible for themselves and walk in the light of the word of God. No one should be able to take you captive in the name of God, Jesus, all the angels, or any form of miracle if you know the word of God. The word of God is profitable to make one wise, and therefore, anyone who knows the word of God cannot fall victim to any false doctrine, teaching, spiritual manipulations, or lies. All the false teachings of someone being a covering for someone else came from these manipulative narratives, and believers should be wise to them. I have seen a pastor declare that his church is the only church in Africa that is licensed by God to take people to heaven, and some members believed him. The day he said that, all his members ought to laugh, pick up their Bibles, and leave without looking back. Self-aggrandisement has become the order of the day in some churches, the pastor sells himself as the be-all and end-all of the member's spiritual enlightenment, and the members sheepishly surrender their eyes of their understanding to him or her. He or she must determine where they work, whom they marry, who they associate with, whose music they must listen to, and whose sermons they must hear. If they want to travel, he must see if the road is clear on their behalf, if they want to build a house, he must approve, if he does not dedicate their baby, the baby is illegitimate. This is not the faith Christ or the Apostles died for. Jesus died that you might be free of religion. Christianity is not a religion, it is the opposite. It is individualistic and determined by the faith and belief system of the one rather than the many. Salvation, therefore, is a personal affair, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit is also a personal affair Religion is the opium of the masses, and Christianity is the salvation of the individual and his or her walk with God. When we fellowship together, we do so not so we can get brainwashed by one "super Christian" but so that we can minister to the Lord and minister to one another in the presence of God. Every believer must hold this truth to be self-evident. PS: Someone sent me the video of a pastor condemning a song recently released by a fellow believer, which is making a global impact The Pastor represents an old school of Christians who are unfit to be custodians of the gospel due to their rigidity and limited understanding of the finished work of Christ. Disciples of the gospel of Works and Performance lack creativity and discernment but are good stewards of rigidity and religious doctrines. In other words, a Pharisee must act like one, and Jesus must act like Jesus. We are all just being true to our nature. "I can never go back o No...No It's already too late o No...No Where Am I going to... No...No" If you read to this point, when I was in Spain, I asked a very important question about a meal. If you know the answer, I'm inside the comment section. -GSW-

Analyzing Episode 55. Season 2 aka The Violence of Alignment If I visualize CihAl's journey for this season, a spiral tightening its rings comes to mind. There's always one problem after another, spiking in intensity and reaction. And, the weight of it is reflected in both Alya's increasingly somber demeanor. But, here's the thing. In every new problem, there's an echo of the old one, which leaves one with an inevitable feeling of deja vu - for the audience and the characters. We'll get to why towards the end of this analysis. For now, on we go. We kick off epi 55 with Cihan being introduced to Meryem *cough* dishrag *cough* by Sadakat. And what follows is a breakdown of her story with Cihan listening. However, when Meryem recounted her past woes, I focused less on her words and more on Cihan's words and expression. And what follows is a masterclass in the difference between sympathy and empathy. Kudos to Ozan Akbaba for portraying the difference. I couldn't help but compare the situation to when Cihan is listening to Alya's account of her past. With Alya, Cihan leans forward, barely moving. He listens, but his face tends to reflect his own emotion and mirrors Alya's at times - in other words, he's living those events with her. When he talks, his voice drops lower, but more importantly, there's a gentle softness meant to soothe. With Meryem, Cihan's body language is a tad more detached. When he's leaning forward in the seat, his hands are extended in front of him, clasped together, creating space. Then he leans back, one arm extended on the table, the other on his thigh. Again, there's this feel of distance. His voice remains soft, but there's no tenderness. He's not trying to alleviate, rather he's simply listening. Don't get me wrong, it's not like the guy doesn't feel bad for her, because what she relates shouldn't be experienced by anyone. But empathy goes beyond sympathy. Empathy is when you hurt with the one who's hurting. And that difference, to me, is clear between the two scenes. Long story short, when he's heard what Meryem's gone through, he offers to help get her out of prison because he feels responsible in part for her misfortunes. He says it's his 'duty' to help her. Here's what's interesting: when Meryem says his kindness and heart haven't changed, he gets uncomfortable. And after that, he's the one to get up from the chair, signaling the end of the conversation. Like he wants to get out of there, because some part of him that's not stupidly male understands Meryem's still attached to him, but he has no interest in that whatsoever. His method of saying goodbye is a handshake, again, a testament to his aloofness. And when Meryem hugs him, his hands remain at their sides; the man could have been a pillar. So, while he speaks not of Alya, the one time he takes her name, he drives the message across that 'she's no one ordinary' and 'tread carefully'. Honestly, I don't think he wants to talk about Alya to Meryem. Not because Alya's not important, but because Alya is too important. The part of his life that Alya represents is his alone, and he's very possessive about sharing that with anyone. To him, Meryem is a past that exists, but one that he would erase if he had the choice, because it hurts Alya. And that's pretty much the whole feel of this conversation. He wants to help Meryem, but he also wants her gone because her presence is a source of discomfort to Alya. Speaking of discomforts, the next scene I want to talk about is when the massive turd, who happens to be Alya's ex-husband, goes to the hospital to threaten her some more. Seriously, this character is a step short of absolute psycho. He's incapable of true emotion, just like his mother. Anyway, when Alya is explaining why she hasn't moved out yet, the zombie's eyes zero in on her wedding band. And, of course, being who he is, he absolutely ignores the topic of Deniz, his own flesh and blood, and instead, wants the ring gone because it symbolizes Alya's love and attachment to Cihan. Thankfully, Cihan arrives in time to push away the zombie and to hear Alya proclaim that while Boran has the power to use her son and distance her from Cihan physically, he has no power over her heart and who reigns over it. Now, think back to that conversation where Deniz wants her to pick between Cihan and himself. And Cihan says Deniz's throne (or place) in her heart is so secure, he's happy to live in the shadow of that throne. While Alya smiles at Cihan's response, she also looks miserable later at the thought of not being able to tell Cihan that things aren't exactly so. However, I think she manages to get her point across in this scene without even realizing it. Because while she may make sacrifices for her son, no amount of blackmail, pain, or hurt can remove Cihan's love from her heart. Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds almost like an equal footing. The only difference is that she's bound to protect her son, because, unlike Cihan, he can't protect himself. And that's what leads Cihan to later tell Alya that her words are etched across his heart, and that he's never felt that loved by anyone. Curiously enough, this scene also brings the spotlight on two other details: Alya's 'anka' side and the wedding ring. Both of which will feature rather greatly, in the coming episodes, I think. Now, there's a rumor going around that Alya will take off her wedding ring. And, I don't know, the fact that Cihan's almost preening at Alya, still wearing the ring, and Alya saying 'I couldn't take it off' tells me that's not what's going to happen. For some reason, I'm beginning to get the vibes of a showdown of trust in the same vein as episode 27. Now you may argue that Cihan actually tells Alya about Mine's pregnancy in that episode, but CihAl have had a long journey since then. Alya has seen Cihan choose her over Boran with her own eyes. She's seen the lengths the man has gone to for her and Deniz. So, yes, she might be pissed about something or the other related to Meryem in future episodes, but her taking off the ring seems not within her character somehow. But hey, that's just me, and I could be wrong. Anyway, the final scene I want to talk about is, of course, the ending. Everyone kept focusing on why Cihan allowed Meryem to hold his hands, but I focused on his words. Because he very clearly tells Meryem that he's no longer in love with her, that he's moved on, and that she should not hang about in the hopes of that ever changing. In his own way, Cihan is quite ruthless here. He draws a line, but his words are designed not to hurt, because he's not an ahole. He just wants dishrag to understand that even the thought of Alya being hurt pains him more now than anything else. And, he's not very kind to people who try to hurt Alya. It's a disclosure and warning, but in the form of steel wrapped in satin. Now, let's go back to the beginning for a bit, where I mentioned spiraling events. See, I somehow thought that those vows Cihal took 'savaşta, bedelde, kararda, kaderde, aşkta' were linear levels. That they'd clear them one by one and get to love. But when you see the overall structure of their journey in this season, it's not linear at all. Because all those things have existed in one form or another since ep 29. There's always an element of all of these conditions in every episode. Which is why we keep thinking, wait a minute, we've been here before. But as I said, the spiral is tightening itself. With every episode, the stakes are raised higher, and CihAl are pushed a little bit closer to the edge. Almost like the deep breath before the plunge. And here’s where things get interesting. Because what feels like repetition is not actually stagnation, it’s confrontation deferred, coming back sharper each time. Every cycle brings them back to the same point. Their love deepens, fear follows, a decision is made in the name of protection, and that decision creates distance instead of resolution. Which brings me back to the vows - savaşta, bedelde, kararda, kaderde, aşkta. I was wrong to think of them as steps. They’re not something Cihan and Alya are moving towards; they’re something CihAl are already inside of. Every episode is them living those vows in real time. But with every new episode, the pressure mounts, like music builds to a crescendo. And yet, within all of that, aşk remains. Not as a reward at the end of the journey. But as the one thing that refuses to disappear, no matter how many times everything else goes wrong. And maybe that's why episode 55 feels the way it does. It creates the illusion that everything is falling apart, yet again, when in reality, everything is being forced into alignment. Something is moving all the pieces on the chessboard for an ultimate showdown. And the process gets more violent by the minute. Cihan hides the truth because he thinks love needs protection. Alya experiences that same act as distance, almost betrayal. Meanwhile, Boran and Sadakat keep pushing, and Meryem drops like a freaking bomb at the worst possible moment. Suddenly, everything that could have remained unsaid, unresolved, or postponed is dragged into the open. This has all the hallmarks of a breaking point. Note, I said breaking point, not breakdown. Because, unlike breakdowns, breaking points are used for revelations. I guess what I'm trying to say is things are headed towards alignment, not just for the overall story, but also CihAl's journey individually. Because Cihan and Alya also keep repeating their mistakes. Their growth requires something along the lines of a push, too. So, we have war, sacrifice, decisions, fate, and love, all coming to a head. And while there are plenty of reasons to feel ominous, I personally don't. The story is no longer about them loving each other - we're well past that. It’s about whether they can finally stand in that love openly and without any fear. Because everything is pushing them toward a breaking point, not to destroy them, I think, but to shape them into who they need to be. And if there’s one thing CihAl have proven since day one, it’s this - they don’t fall apart under pressure, they grow stronger, and they survive the impossible. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

This girl gets some of her flirting advice right, but some is very OFF BASE. This is why you have to take dating advice for men that comes from women with a giant grain of salt 🧂 Some of women’s advice may be useful… but some of it will always be MISLEADING. If you are not already savvy enough to tell the difference, you’ll mix in the bad with the good and not know where you’re tripping up. Break down of what is useful vs. what is MISLEADING: ✅ USEFUL: do not open her with “You’re really pretty/beautiful, I wanted to meet you.” She doesn’t know what to say to that; she has also heard it before so many times you sound like a broken record. You can say pretty much ANYTHING other than this (e.g.: “Hey, how’s it going?” This is 10x better than a generic looks-based compliment). ✅ USEFUL: open her with something relevant to the situation. Situationally relevant openers can work great. For instance: “Think we’ll be in line forever?” if you’re waiting in line, or “The art here sure is interesting huh,” if there’s a weird piece of art. 🆇 MISLEADING: you should not expect a girl to take over on your opener, like this girl did with the “cute/sweet” coffee recommendation opener. Most girls are not outgoing enough that they are going to decide to “have a chat” with you immediately on the open. You are the man; you need to EXPECT to drive at least the first 2 minutes of conversation YOURSELF! ✅ USEFUL: “keep the conversation short, sweet, casual, fun”: all that, yes. The initial conversation needs to be light, playful, and engaging. Tease her within the first 30 seconds (that’s how she knows it’s a FLIRTATION and not a platonic chat). Make an observation about her or two (keep it positive and light). Tap her on the forearm on a joke or a high point. SMILE! You want your presence to be a warm, welcome, & flirtatious one. 🆇 MISLEADING: “worst thing you could possibly do is annoy her with your presence”; I mean, YES, BUT you do not need to be thinking about “I’d better not annoy her” when you are talking to girls. If you do, you will play it too safe, act very boring, get into your head, and become uninteresting and un-fun. Instead, just focus on bringing fun and good energy (not ‘avoiding annoyance’). ✅ USEFUL: what she is calling a ‘non-invasive call to action’ (is this chick a marketer? Because this is marketer speak!) we call a ‘soft close’. Yes, soft close her. Easy one-size-fits-all soft close you can use with any girl (say this on a high point): “We should grab a bite or a drink sometime.” As soon as she says “yes”, you have your green light 🟢 to grab her # 🆇 MISLEADING: “give her your number”… this is the WORST piece of advice in the video; even worse than the “don’t annoy her” bit (which will get you in your head doing things wrong). This girl has a wide face, deep voice, and high confidence, so she’s probably higher testosterone and extroverted. Girls like this are go-getters who will chase down guys on their own and make things happen sometimes (hence the “deciding to have a chat” with a guy when she liked his opener). Most women are NOT extroverted high testosterone women who will take charge and make things happen themselves. Most women are PASSIVE. The average girl who is into you will not text you first if you give her your number. She will just look at it, debate whether to text you, think about what she should text, feel self-conscious about it, feel like she shouldn’t be the first one to text, then you will simply never hear from her. You need to get HER number, so YOU can text, not give her YOURS. 🆇 MISLEADING: “sweet and endearing”, sorry to say it and pop anyone’s bubble, but women do not usually hook up with the “sweet and endearing” guys. They think the stuff these guys do is “cute”, like how little children and pets are “cute”, but they do not find them SEXY. You need to be in the lead, taking CHARGE, leading her through an interaction she enjoys, and setting the pace. Do not be “sweet and endearing.” Anyway, this girl seems really cool and it’s neat that she wants to help guys out. Well-meaning women advising you on dating though are some of the most dangerous because they believe what they are saying and just do not KNOW when the advice they’re giving is counterproductive for a man to actually use vs. productive! (That said, positive encouragement for men to approach & flirt is ALWAYS good! So hat tip to her!)

Girls like this are go-getters who will chase down guys on their own and make things happen sometimes (hence the “deciding to have a chat” with a guy when she liked his opener). Most women are NOT extroverted high testosterone women who will take charge and make things happen themselves. Most women are PASSIVE. The average girl who is into you will not text you first if you give her your number. She will just look at it, debate whether to text you, think about what she should text, feel self-conscious about it, feel like she shouldn’t be the first one to text, then you will simply never hear from her. You need to get HER number, so YOU can text, not give her YOURS. 🆇 MISLEADING: “sweet and endearing”, sorry to say it and pop anyone’s bubble, but women do not usually hook up with the “sweet and endearing” guys. They think the stuff these guys do is “cute”, like how little children and pets are “cute”, but they do not find them SEXY. You need to be in the lead, taking CHARGE, leading her through an interaction she enjoys, and setting the pace. Do not be “sweet and endearing.” Anyway, this girl seems really cool and it’s neat that she wants to help guys out. Well-meaning women advising you on dating though are some of the most dangerous because they believe what they are saying and just do not KNOW when the advice they’re giving is counterproductive for a man to actually use vs. productive! (That said, positive encouragement for men to approach & flirt is ALWAYS good! So hat tip to her!)

Who Killed Samantha Woll? The Wayne County prosecutor's office is trying to keep Michael Jackson-Bolanos in jail to paper over its own ineptitude By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Detroit — Michael Jackson-Bolanos was acquitted two years ago in the high-profile murder of Detroit Jewish leader Samantha Woll. Even so, Bolanos is serving 18 months to 15 years in prison for lying to police officers—the equivalent of a murder bid, anyhow. For comparison, the maximum sentence for lying to an FBI agent is 5 years. Curiously, Bolanos has been granted release multiple times by the state parole board, but his release continues to be blocked by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. Why? Because prosecutors and the police have egg on their faces. They screwed the case so badly that the jury couldn’t help but have had reasonable doubt. What doubts? First, the prosecution and police presented an elaborate case featuring cell phone data and video footage of Bolanos skulking across the city attempting to break into cars. For the 23-minute window when prosecutors claim Woll was murdered, however, there was no video at all. It was all conjecture. Jurors were told that Bolanos crept into Woll’s townhouse to steal something. When he came upon her sleeping on the sofa, he freaked out and stabbed her eight times in the neck and head. Then, Bolanos decided to steal nothing at all, leaving her purse and computer and walking into a security camera frame a third-of-a-mile away, all in the span of three minutes. A near physical impossibility. Bolanos, a convicted felon, admitted on the stand that he was out to steal. He said he came across Woll’s body on the sidewalk outside her door, checked for a pulse, realized she was dead, and walked off. That’s how a few drops of blood got on his jacket sleeve, he claimed. Then, rather unconvincingly, he said that he never entered her apartment, even though something set off her motion sensor. Admitting that would have put the repeat offender in prison for a decade, at least. The second reasonable doubt was that detectives never bothered to follow-up on grainy images captured by another security camera of a different man sprinting through the parking lot of Woll’s townhouse earlier that evening. Who could that have been? The jury heard police body cam footage of a 911 call made by Woll’s ex-boyfriend—Jeffery Herbstman—two weeks after her brutal slaying. “I’m having a panic attack. I’m convinced I may have murdered my girlfriend and I don’t remember it,” Herbstman cried. “I have the motive, and I have the opportunity.” Herbstman later claimed on the stand that he had a psychotic snap after he mixed his anti-depression medication with marijuana. Prosecutors believed him and gave him immunity in exchange for his testimony. In his closing arguments, defense lawyer Brian Brown put the grainy photograph of the man running through the parking lot the night of Woll’s murder next to a photograph of Herbstman at the police station the night he called 911. “Could this be Herbstman?” Brown asked the jury. “I don’t know, but it looks very similar to me. This person running from the scene looks very similar to Jeff. Haircut, glasses—even the coat he’s wearing. Very similar indeed.” The jury, rightly, had reasonable doubts. They acquitted Bolanos of first-degree murder, reached no decision of felony murder and home invasion charges, but did convict him of lying to police about stealing from cars. The Department of Corrections recommended that Bolanos be given probation. The judge ignored the recommendation and sentenced him to 1 1/2 to 15 years in prison. Now, I’m not saying Bolanos is an innocent man. He had Woll’s blood on his jacket, after all. And, I’m not saying that Herbstman may have murdered his ex-girlfriend. It was Herbstman that said he may have murdered his ex-girlfriend. But in America, a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. And Bolanos never was found guilty. To keep him incarcerated for 15 years to paper over the ineptitude of the prosecutors and police is a miscarriage of justice. And it’s no justice for Samantha Woll at all. Bolanos’s next parole hearing is scheduled for August 26.

Dear Mr or Mrs Handler, I will make it short! What you are not going to do is insert Bells's name into your write up and make it look like she looks down on people or makes fun of people just so you can play victim. Bells is a bubbly person most times and treats everyone equally. She gets serious when she decides to and she will have an indepth conversation with whomever, when she decides to( as Aikou described her). She is a very caring person and great person to have as a friend. Heck, she looked after your Yusuf when he broke his nose and got sick. Bells is a radiographer and I assume you know what's involved in studying and working as a Radiographer?! Brains!! So, Bells is never surfaced minded she just doesn't want to have a serious conversation with certain people and it is not force. Also, they both laugh at eachothers jokes, stories and have banters. Even Yusuf can tell Bells to 'shut up' or 'f*ck off' and they both laughs it off. Do we write epistle about this? No! Since this whole caneo capsized, your person has been running from one microphone to the other, degrading, belittling and saying deteriorating things about Bells to all that wants to listen. Even today, it was Biggie(Videos are alover the TL). Who knows, it might be a ninja tomorrow. Bells is not perfect but you will hardly see her say unwarranted stuffs about your Oga. Talk more of belittling him. It is rather the reverse. So, lets stop this dirty games or try to form amnesia because your person is not innocent. The canoe has capsized beyond repair. Your Oga must move on and you handler, must move on as well. We are in a voting week and this not healthy. I wish you the best and there is No bad blood. Find sample of evidences of your person speaking about Bells and, the meaning of a Radiograher below. Thank you and Take Care.

Crying as I type this but fuck it, vulnerable post incoming 🥹 This year so far has been one of the most difficult in my career and to be honest, I have been struggling with a lot of things in and out of work. So to hear all this from Mousey - to have her spend so much time on-stream listening to "La Gremolin Romántica" and praising me like this, is just the best thing I could possibly ask for right now 😭 ironmouse🇵🇷😈💖 you have no idea how much this stream meant to me. I love making music for you and getting to be a small part of your incredible journey. I know you said my music deserves to be in an award-winning anime, but truthfully I feel like what I have is just as good, if not even better! And I have you to thank for always believing in me and giving me so many opportunities to grow as a composer, from "Gremlin Fantasy" to now. And many more in the future! I really really adore and admire you Mousey, thank you for everything ♡♡♡
