My Thoughts on the "Fallen Idols" Documentary and the Allegations Against Nick Carter

 


"I'm watching 'Fallen Idols' on HBO Max to know what's being said from all point-of-views. I suggest my fellow backstreet boys fans do the same. I know the alleged info is difficult to stomach, but how can you form an opinion without info? Btw, don't harass the alleged victims." -May 29, 2024

 

I wasn't planning on watching this documentary because I thought the whole thing would disrespect Aaron's memory and I wanted people to let his spirit rest in peace. Frankly, I didn't want to know about the allegations against Nick either. As a starry-eyed fangirl, by default, I just wanted to believe Nick Carter was the sweet guy of the Backstreet Boys, which was very immature and close-minded of me. I finally decided to watch the documentary and even read some legal documents because I knew I couldn't blindly believe everything I read on Twitter. I needed to form my own opinion. 

Disclaimer: These are my thoughts. All of the allegations are still being investigated in civil court. Unfortunately, the statute of limitations had expired for the allegations to be tried in criminal court. Despite that, Nick is still presumed innocent until proven guilty. I'll use such words as alleged and possible in this blog entry. 

Even though Nick Carter was the documentary's main focus, Aaron Carter had a huge part in the story. Not only because he was Nick's younger brother, was one of the biggest pop stars, and was part of the dysfunctional dynamic of the Carter family, but he was also in a lot of conflict. Due to their mother's mental abuse, Aaron was gradually becoming a drug addict and alcoholic. Because he supported Nick's alleged victims, he was constantly and unfairly being cyberbullied by trolls and Youtubers, which made his addiction worse. He became obsessed with the internet and paranoid. He was always on Instagram Live, slowly going insane. I'm absolutely shocked Instagram or YouTube wasn't banning people left and right for bullying at that time. He thought Nick was behind the harassment. However, I believe that somebody else in the family paid people to do it. Near the end of his life, Aaron recanted his support of the alleged victims. I believe that he did this because he was so desperate for the harassment to stop and not because he didn't believe the victims. It's so sad how lost he became; all that people did was tease him. I want to remember the happy and hopeful, "I Want Candy" Aaron Carter. 

Now, onto the allegations. Trigger Warning: discussion of sexual assault. Reader's discretion is advised

I want to start with Shannon Ruth's allegation because it bugs me. It's the only story I have a problem with. She claimed she was seventeen when she attended a Backstreet Boys concert with a friend in February of 2001 in Tacoma, Washington. She also said she has autism and cerebral palsy. She claimed while waiting in line for an autograph, Nick invited her to come on his tour bus. According to her, he gave her a weird-tasting red beverage that he called "VIP juice." She then claimed he forced her to perform oral sex on him in the bathroom on the tour bus. She claimed that he then took her to a bed in the back of the tour bus and vaginally raped her, allegedly giving her HPV. (I wonder why Nick wasn't tested for HPV). After the alleged assault, she said that he grabbed her arm, causing a bruise, and called her a R-worded b*tch. 

This story seems fishy to me. First, according to security personnel, concert attendees, a talent manager, and the opening act, there was no autograph line at that concert. Nick and the band exited quickly after their performance. No fan was ever allowed to be alone with a band member. Also, her friend, Joy, said she didn't think Shannon ever attended a Backstreet Boys concert. (PAGE 4 and 5, https://static1.squarespace.com/static/65b414ff9485dd64e08ee802/t/662abbd120d3c13a2cd5891e/1714076625194/%28Tab+2%29+39+-+2023-03-13+-+Carter%27s+Opp+to+Motion+to+Dismiss+Counterclaims.pdf). Second of all, during a phone call to the police on December 4, 2019, she said that Nick only grabbed her arm. She didn't report rape or any other sexual assault or misconduct until later on. (PAGE 9, https://static1.squarespace.com/static/65b414ff9485dd64e08ee802/t/662abbd120d3c13a2cd5891e/1714076625194/%28Tab+2%29+39+-+2023-03-13+-+Carter%27s+Opp+to+Motion+to+Dismiss+Counterclaims.pdf). I know victims of assault sometimes block things out in response to trauma or could be fearful of reprisals from their abusers, but her story kept changing.  She even changed which friend was with her at the concert; First, it was Joy, but then, it was her friend, Eleanor, who testified that Shannon didn't even have a bruise on her arm. Even though Nick has an alleged history of violence and bursts of anger, I don't think she was on that bus. (PAGE 18: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B4Z2bHmmx0PprM0J5R2Mf_af_dlUtbcY/view). Shannon also admitted in a private direct message to a woman named Heather Hayat on Twitter that she wasn't assaulted. (PAGE 7, https://static1.squarespace.com/static/65b414ff9485dd64e08ee802/t/662abbd120d3c13a2cd5891e/1714076625194/%28Tab+2%29+39+-+2023-03-13+-+Carter%27s+Opp+to+Motion+to+Dismiss+Counterclaims.pdf).

Third of all, in the documentary, Shannon said due to her autism, she was at times unaware of her surroundings. This bothers me because if this were the case, why would she be allowed to go on a tour bus with a stranger alone? It makes no sense to me. It's a sad fact that people with disabilities are vulnerable to sexual assault because they're seen as "easy targets" by predators. I, myself, have cerebral palsy and I'm in a wheelchair. If I wanted to go off alone with a celebrity I just met, whoever was with me would protect me no matter what. The person would put their foot down and say: "Um, Lena...no, I'm going with you!" Either she has very bad friends or she never went to the concert and never met Nick Carter. 

It irked me to no end when Shannon said in the documentary she was the voice for disabled people who ever got assaulted. She is NOT "the voice" if she possibly made it up! Her story will make it more difficult for disabled victims to be believed and that makes me furious!

Finally, I don't believe she made this up as a part of a grand conspiracy with Melissa Schuman, (I'll talk about Melissa's allegations next), Aaron Carter, and Melissa's father. I believe she came up with this after being influenced by Melissa's story at no fault of anyone. Shannon read the story online and then said she was too assaulted in a similar way as Melissa allegedly was. I don't believe that Melissa asked her to make up these accusations. I think that Shannon just wanted to talk to a former pop star.  

Now, I'm going to discuss Melissa Schuman's allegations. I know some of my fellow Backstreet Boys fans won't like what I'm about to say, but it's what I think. I believe Melissa Schuman. 

Melissa is a former band member of the girl group, Dream. She claimed that in February 2001, when she was sixteen, her managers told her that twenty-one-year-old Nick thought she was cute and he wanted to talk to her. Her management team and his team allegedly arranged for her to speak to him on the phone, which was awkward. She wasn't interested in him romantically and told her team that she had a boyfriend. Although she was a minor at that time, her team allegedly made it clear that they wanted her to date Nick. She refused despite the alleged pressure. In the spring of 2002, she left Dream. In early 2003, she was cast in a horror film and Nick was also cast in this film. During lunch, he invited her to his Santa Monica, California apartment to play video games that evening. Given that they both had prior work experience performing and were becoming acquaintances on set, she agreed to come. 

Melissa and her roommate went to his apartment. His friend, Tony Bass, was there too (he isn't related to Lance Bass, I looked). Nick was making drinks for everyone. Melissa was only eighteen. She was inexperienced with drinking at the time and Nick suggested a drink with cranberry juice (clear alcohol and cranberry juice). Then, he allegedly put a drug in the drink without her knowledge. She claimed that they were walking into the living room when Nick asked her if she wanted to hear some new music he was working on. He took her hand and led her into his office. He sat in the only chair. He turned off the light and allegedly told her to sit on his lap, but she chose to sit on the edge of his knee. He turned the music on from his computer and pulled her into him, kissing her (Reminder: kissing is NOT consent to sex, especially if it's a forced kiss). She felt self-conscious, intimidated, and inexperienced; she had only kissed one other boy. She claimed that Nick knew she was a virgin and held conservative Christian values, but he didn't care. He took her into the bathroom and shut the door. 

She claimed he picked her up and put her on the bathroom counter. He allegedly began to unbutton her clothes and she told him she didn't want to go any further. He reportedly responded: "Don't worry, I won't tell anybody." She continued to object. He ignored her and assaulted her, performing oral copulation on her against her will. She was in shock and started to feel as if she was spinning. She tried to turn off the light, but he kept turning it on, stating he wanted to look at her.  A male friend (probably Tony Bass) began to knock on the bathroom door and Nick allegedly panicked, quickly dressing her and taking her into the dark hallway. Nick then reportedly took her into the other bathroom that was adjacent to the bedroom and shut the door.  He reportedly took his pants and sat on the bathroom counter. He demanded that she perform oral sex on him. She refused and he became very angry, demanding she do it to him since he did it to her. He allegedly forced her to masturbate him. She was fearful he would physically harm her if she didn't comply. Tony knocked on the door again. Nick threatened her to keep quiet by making a gesture, shushing her. She was too terrified to yell out. She claimed that he exerted his control over her, knowing she didn't consent, for his own sexual gratification. 

Against her will, Nick took her to the bedroom, pushed her onto a twin bed, and climbed on top of her. Repeatedly, she said NO! She told him over and over that she wanted to save herself for marriage. He continued to force himself on her, whispering in her ear that he could be her husband. He forced vaginal penetration of her, later giving her HVP. (Again, why hasn't Nick been tested for HVP?) She went limp and disassociated. When he was done, he got off her and she turned to the side and curled into the fetal position. She noticed that Tony was asleep on the floor. Despite having a small amount of alcohol, she passed out. At sunrise, she and her friend left. Nick was already gone. (PAGE 5 to 7: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/65b414ff9485dd64e08ee802/t/662fccb00e178c0f21f0b0e8/1714408625151/%28Tab+37%29+2023-10-16+-+Planitiff+Melissa+Schuman%27s+First+Amended+Complaint.pdf).

Over the next few days, she told her manager, her roommate, her father and mother, her therapist, and her former co-star about the assault. She didn't report it to the police or have a rape kit done. She didn't want to face it or confront him at the time. Her manager told her that coming forward could ruin her career. She even did a duet with Nick because she felt she had to if she wanted to further her career. Then, after she performed the duet with him at her showcase, the label dropped her. She thought Nick only did the duet for some alibi. 

When I first heard this story, I thought maybe she lied to her parents because she was ashamed she lost her virginity during a one-night stand. I was like other Backstreet Boys fans, saying: "He would never do that, I stand with Nick Carter!" Now, after reading and re-reading her story and seeing her interview in the documentary, I believe her. A B-movie actress couldn't fake that kind of reaction to a past trauma. Those tears were real. This woman went through something horrific.  It's difficult for me to say Nick could be a rapist because I was a Nick Carter girl. My stomach is in knots writing this, but the evidence is there for me. 

First, doesn't anybody else find it creepy that her management team and his team were trying to arrange for them to date by his request back when she was only sixteen and he was twenty-one? Was it really okay for Nick to call a minor to attempt to woo her? He shouldn't have said she was cute or talked to her in hopes of a romance. It was gross and very predatory.

Secondly, as I said before, Nick has an alleged history of violence and anger. It wouldn't surprise me if he held a grudge ever since she rejected him in 2001, and when he saw her in 2003, he probably wanted revenge. (Rape isn't about sex; it's about power and control). After he started drinking that night, I believe that he didn't care about the consequences of the horrible actions he was about to commit; he was going to show her that no one said no to him. I believe in his eyes, her body was an object he could control. 

Thirdly, Tony Bass testified that he was sleeping on the floor a few feet away while Melissa and Nick had consensual sex, but drinking or not, what girl would want their first time to be in the same room where their friends were sleeping? Also, how did he know what Nick was doing if he was supposed to be sleeping? I think Tony was a liar and a pervert. I think Melissa's friend did pass out from drinking, but I believe that Tony was pretending to be asleep; he was lying there watching while Nick violated Melissa! 

Then, after that night, Nick allegedly called her, saying: "Why did you make me do that?" What did she make him do exactly? He yelled, cussed her out, and harassed her until she changed her number. If it was consensual and he did nothing wrong, why was he freighting her into silence? These aren't the actions of an innocent man. 

Finally, why did she wait until 2017 to say anything publicly? She saw Ashley Repp's accusations (I'll discuss Ashley's allegations next) and knew she had to speak up. Still, Melissa's husband had to post the blog entry for her because she was so scared of Nick. People have been calling her an attention seeker, but I don't think she would go after him randomly and for no reason. Rape cases (even in civil court) are stressful, expensive, frustrating, draining, and long. Defense attorneys can twist alleged victims' words and make them upset, so it looks like victims are the guilty ones. Also, I'm sure she has seen how fans today have a mob mentality on social media. It can be toxic and sometimes dangerous (look what people did to poor Aaron). Despite all of that, she just wants to speak her truth. 

Let's discuss Ashley Repp's allegations now. This should be an obvious one. I 88000% believe her. 

On or about August 29, 2003, Nick's family and friends, including fifteen-year-old Ashley, gathered on his yacht in Marathon, Florida. He led her to the cabin of the yacht. Even though he allegedly knew she was a minor, he provided her with alcohol such that she was very intoxicated at the time. She had not yet experienced sexual intercourse or other sexual activity before meeting Nick. He allegedly kissed her and directed her to the bed, where he engaged in oral intercourse and vaginal penetration (without her consent). He instructed her to keep his abuse of her a secret.   

A few days later, on September 1, 2003, Nick and his sister, Angel encouraged Ashley to meet him in the lounge area of the bus on their Florida property. She complied. Then, he reportedly coerced her into performing oral sex on him. 

On another occasion, on October 27, 2003, Nick hosted a get-together on two of his boats with Angel Carter, Ashley, and at least three men. He allegedly provided alcohol and drugs to still-minor Ashley and caused her to become black-out drunk and high on his yacht. Later that night, Nick then reportedly promoted and enticed three men: Stephen Canizio, David Lezcano, and Andrew Koussevitsky to watch him engaging in sexual intercourse with her from a vantage point of an outside window in the cabin of his yacht. He took her to the bed and reportedly vaginally penetrated her, despite her being half-conscious and saying no. She claimed that he even attempted to perform anal sex despite her begging to stop. All three creeps allegedly gawked at the assaults, cruelly snickering, like it was a disgusting private show for them. 

Shortly after this, she disclosed the assaults to her mom and her mom later reported it to the police in December 2003. Ashley probably had a rape kit done, but I'm guessing there was no useful evidence such as DNA because too much time had passed. Later on, she even admitted that she lied about her age (that shouldn't matter though). (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/65b414ff9485dd64e08ee802/t/662fcb8574718c0f086997d5/1714408326088/%28Tab+32%29+01+-+2023-08-28+-+Plaintiff+A.R.%27s+Complaint.pdf).

First, even if she indeed consented to sex with him, she wasn't old enough. It still would be rape. The age of consent in Florida and in most states is eighteen. If someone is an adult, sexual intercourse or other sexual activity with a minor (someone younger than eighteen) is considered statutory rape. Someone charged with statutory rape can be placed in jail and/or on the sexual offender registry.  It doesn't matter whether the minor verbally consented to or initiated the activity, the state considers any individual under eighteen as too young to be capable of properly giving consent. (https://www.legalsurvivalguide.org/family-law/legal-age-of-consent-in-florida/#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20charged%20with,which%20is%20a%20serious%20crime.).

Secondly, she did lie about her age and was drinking and doing drugs, but that shouldn't matter. She couldn't consent if she was barely conscious. People who are under the influence or physically helpless are unable to consent.  (https://www.eighmielawfirm.com/how-does-florida-law-define-consent/). She wasn't in her right mind and he possibly took advantage of it. Also, even in her altered state, she reportedly told him to stop and he didn't. Because she was so out of it, she couldn't fight back or run away. She probably couldn't even walk straight. She was at his mercy.

Thirdly, he said that she seemed older than fifteen. How? Ashley was best friends with Angel, who was fifteen. In the documentary, there were pictures of Ashley from the time and she definitely looked young. Her age should've been obvious. I doubt that he was thinking about her age though. I believe that he has a thing for virginal teenage girls.  

Finally, Ashley seemed legitimately traumatized in the documentary. No one would go through the abrasive process of a rape kit and would want to talk about the most terrifying and painful moment of their lives over and over again just for fame and/or money. After the assaults, she went through emotional and physical anguish and intimacy issues.

People are saying that the two women's accusations are exactly the same, but I don't think so. I think Shannon Ruth's allegation is the only one that sounds like a copycat story. I believe that we're seeing Nick's possible M.O. with these two stories: get teenage virgin girls alone, get them drunk or high, and assault them. No one caught on until now. 

People are saying that Nick wouldn't do such a vile act and are saying that he isn't a violent person or angry at all. Remember when he beat up Aaron on House of Carters?

Remember when he got in Brian's face and screamed at him on the Show 'Em What You Make of documentary? 

Should I remind everybody of what he allegedly did to Paris Hilton? She had a busted lip and bruises on her arms. I remember fifteen-year-old me trying to justify it and saying, "It must be makeup, she must be lying because they're arguing," which was wrong and stupid of me. 


In 2016, he was also arrested in Florida for misdemeanor battery outside of a bar. (https://www.jacksonville.com/story/entertainment/local/2016/01/14/nick-carter-backstreet-boys-arrested-key-west/15696035007/). I now believe that in the spotlight, Nick Carter is the great guy who hugs fans, but when he's drinking behind closed doors, the deviant comes out. There's no excuse for his behavior, but I think it's a side effect of his dysfunctional family. The mom and dad were always fighting and drinking. He was surrounded by violence twenty-four-seven. I believe that over the years, he felt entitled to anything and anyone because of his fame and would become a monster to get his way. I wish fans weren't in the documentary, saying that they knew he was completely innocent. Do they know him personally? No one really knows anybody, especially celebrities. I also wish the other members of the Backstreet Boys didn't call the alleged victims liars, but I understand they think they're defending their BSB brother. 

I hope I'm wrong about him; I hope someday Nick will explain these things away without attorneys or PR reps, but the facts and my gut tell me that he assaulted those women when they were girls. I'm still a Backstreet Boys fan. I'll love NSYNC's and Backstreet Boys' music forever, but I no longer support Nick Carter. A.J. McLean will be my favorite Backstreet Boy from now on. I also hope the rape survivors get justice and closure. They deserve to be heard. I stand with Melissa and Ashley.

If you have ever been raped or if you know someone who has been raped, please go to: https://www.rainn.org/. You're not alone. 

Well, that was a heavy topic. Let's watch some Aaron Carter music videos and remember the happier times.

A News Story That Breaks My Heart...

 


I usually try to avoid watching the news because it's often depressing and much scarier than any horror story I could think of, but sometimes, when I hear something so heartwrenching, I want to know more: to search for a reason for it. My sister first texted this to my mom yesterday. I looked it up today. 

On May 28, 2024, in Festus, Missouri, a thirty-six-year-old woman walked into the police station and admitted to fatally shooting her nine-year-old daughter, Scarlet, and drowning her two-year-old son, Isaac. The woman was thankfully charged with one count of second-degree murder and one count each of first-degree murder and armed criminal action. There is no motive reported yet.  

Just why? This so-called mother is absolutely evil! If she was going through something mentally, (even though mental illness isn't an excuse for killing innocent children), why didn't she just drop Scarlet and Isaac off with their father or at the police station unharmed? People shouldn't ever wish for others to commit suicide, but I rather she left the kids somewhere safe and killed herself than hurt the kids. No child's life should be taken, especially by the woman who gave birth to them! They should've felt safe with their mom. They should've been playing outside without a care in the world. I don't know these children or the family, but I'm sad for them. Keep them and their families in your prayers. 

GoFundMe Support For Isaac's Funeral: https://gofund.me/80d5080a 

GoFundMe Support For Scarlet's Funeral: https://gofund.me/a554b275 

Rest in peace, Scarlet and Isaac. You two never knew me, but I care. I'm truly sorry that the last thing you saw was your mommy hurting you. No one knows why she did this to you two sweethearts, but you're safe now in the Lord's loving embrace. Remember, you two were and are still loved. 💙👼

Sending prayers. 🙏 Smooches and think Tink!

My Mischief Wizard Dream

 



In my dream on Tuesday night, I was dating a British Justin Timberlake 💖(imagine if Daniel Radcliffe and Justin Timberlake morphed together into one human, lol). 



We lived in an apartment in New York. One night, we had an argument and I ran into the hallway. As I was crying 💔, a young guy suddenly appeared before me. He was very tall and had blonde and messy hair, blue eyes, and a sly grin; he was wearing a white, flowing trench coat over a men's light-gray dress shirt, black eyeliner, a pair of black jeans, a pair of men's white dress shoes, and white gloves. He looked like Anndy Negative (Anndy Negative is one of the Youtubers I follow). 

The guy acted like he was comforting me, so I felt safe with this stranger. He then told me he was a mischief wizard. I was confused by this statement, but I let him hug me. 

He kissed my hand, and before I knew what was happening, I was abruptly in a whimsical and colorful-looking world. He had abducted me. In this strange world, people were always celebrating for no reason and were constantly dancing in a spacious room.  Women wore vibrate-colored ballgowns. Men wore multicolored tuxedos. All of the staircases were slides that connected to all of the rooms and houses.   

At first, I was afraid of the mischief wizard. Then, he somehow convinced me to dance with him to the song, "Marionette" by  Antonia. 


(The title of the song should've been a red flag 🚩⚠️, lol). He put a powerful love spell on me while we were dancing. 😵 I became obsessed with him. 🤩 He wrote me poetry and served me chocolate cake and strawberry wine in bed 🎂🍾 (days turned into weeks). I received good morning cuddles every morning and I fell asleep to goodnight kisses 😘 (weeks turned into months). We were attached to the hip twenty-four-seven, and I mindlessly did everything that he told me to do, including wearing only white, turquoise, or red clothes, growing out my hair, cleaning his room daily, and of course, dancing until my feet blistered 🤐 (months turned into two years). 

One day, he asked me to marry him. In a trance still, I happily said yes. The wedding was going to be on the same day as he proposed. I was wearing a turquoise wedding dress and a red veil (he chose the colors, not me). 👰🏻 I was in a bedroom, getting ready to walk down the aisle. I heard the song, "No Angels" by the real Justin Timberlake playing in the hallway. 


This song woke me up from the wizard's spell a little. I asked the wizard if marrying was a good idea. 

Without warning, he grabbed me by my shoulders tightly, violently shaking me and furiously screaming in my face: "You won't defy me! You'll be mine forever, no matter what you think! Got it?!" 

Then, his extremely angry face quickly softened and his grip loosened on me. The song, "Marionette" then began playing again. I was back under his spell.   

"Don't be silly," he said, kissing me sweetly on the forehead, "we're meant to be together."

As I slowly walked down the aisle, everyone was smiling widely. It looked like their smiles were forced, but I ignored it. In my trance state, I thought this was the happiest day of my life. As soon as I said 'I do' and we kissed, he brought out a fifties-style glass bottle of chocolate milk. 🍶

"Milk?" I didn't understand. 

"It's milk from an enchanted cow," he told me, "I made it chocolate for you. The milk will make you pregnant automatically. Drink up!" 

Even though I was unsure if I should, I took a sip to make him happy. The cold milk tasted like the exquisite kind of chocolate milk I got back when I was in school. Something felt wrong about this milk, but because of my foggy mind, I just couldn't put my finger on it.  

"Keep on drinking until it's all gone," he coaxed, "Go ahead, sweetheart. Don't you want to have a family with me?" 

He then took the bottle from me and tipped it up to my mouth, pouring the milk down my throat. It felt like I was respirating, but I kept on drinking; loudly gulping. As I was gulping it down, my stomach was expanding and people were cheering. 

When it was finally gone, I gasped for air. I then looked down and to my shock, I was very pregnant. I even felt the baby kick in my stomach. 

"That's my girl," he smiled at me, as a woman took the bottle away.

As he was kissing me again, I heard the song, "No Strings Attached" by NSYNC playing in my head. 


This song finally broke his spell on me. The mischief wizard was a controlling creep who kidnapped women. I even saw the hidden darkness of this colorful world. In the corner of my eye, I saw that people looked exhausted, in pain, and terrified. Their feet were bleeding profusely from dancing so much. Ballgowns and tuxedos were also soaked in blood and sweat. I pushed the mischief wizard away and bolted out of the room. He began chasing me, yelling something. I was too determined to escape to care.


I was now in a dark corridor, standing in front of a white door. My intuition told me the door was the exit of the world. The door was double-locked. My heart began to pound and I shook, for I heard him coming closer, but that's when I looked down at my right hand. Purple sparks were flying out of my quivering fingertips. My intuition told me what to do. I swiftly placed my right hand on the door and the purple sparks broke the locks, making the door burst open. 

I rapidly slid down the staircase. The wizard was right behind me, but he couldn't get a grip on me. Rain and snow blew in my face, as I went down. Before I knew it, I was back in the hallway of the apartment that I once shared with British Justin. I banged on the door, praying that he still lived there.  

British Justin opened the door and stood in shock. Both of us looked at each other with happy tears in our eyes. We wanted to say so much, but I knew we needed to run before the wizard tried to get me. 

"Justin," I exclaimed, bursting into the apartment, "seeing your face is such a relief, but I need your help. We need to get out of here! I'm in danger! The guy who took me will be coming." 

It was difficult for him to process what was happening and respond. All that he could do was stutter: "Y-y-you're...you're p-p-pregnant." 

"I'll explain everything to you later," I replied desperately, "or at least try to, I promise, but right now, we need to..." 

It was too late. The mischief wizard was standing in the doorway. I screamed and pulled Justin behind me. 

"Sweetheart," said the wizard in a disturbing sing-song tone, "I told you not to defy me. Let's not be foolish on our wedding day." 

I exclaimed: "What woman in their right mind would want to marry a creep like you?!" 

"You sick bastard," shouted Justin, "you took Lena and kept her prisoner! Now, you think she's your wife?! I won't let you touch her again, I'm going to bloody kill you!" He charged at the wizard, but the wizard was faster. 

The wizard levitated across the room, grabbing him by the throat. Justin was thrashing about, trying to claw at his hand away and fighting for air. 

"You're coming with me," the wizard told me through clenched teeth, "but first, to show you what happens when you disobey me, I'll kill your pathetic former lover!" 


He then conjured a black fireball in his free hand, raising it above his head and aiming it at Justin's heart. Absolute horror filled me, but then, my intuition told me what to do again. Without a second to spare, I hastily thrust both of my hands at the wizard and bellowed: "I demand for this darkness and this toxic memory to disappear from me!" 

With a scream, he instantly vanished in a blinding burst of light. Justin dropped onto the floor, coughing. I ran to Justin and helped him stand up. I hugged him tight and was about to kiss him when I woke up. 



     This is when a dream turns into an epic story.

Coffee, Please!!!!

 


I asked Person X to buy me a bottled coffee. Because I dared to ask for a second coffee🥤on a Thursday evening, Person X looked at me like I had just asked him to commit murder😵🙃, lol. I wanted to say: "Look, you and Person Z have been driving me nuts!" "It's coffee or alcohol, your choice!!" 🔪🗡️

I bit my tongue though and he bought the coffee. 

Just give a gal her coffee. It might help with her sanity sometimes. 🤪 ☕

Everything is absolutely okay. 👍🏻😎😋

Blessed Beltane 🌹

 


Blessed Beltane! 

Beltane or Bealtaine is the Gaelic May Day festival, marking the beginning of summer. It is traditionally held on 1 May, or about midway between the spring equinox and summer solstice. Historically, it was widely observed in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man.
