If Evalee sent you an invitation now saying "hey, we finally realized we threw away lots of valuable talent, we're sorry, please come back" would you go?

No.

They tried to kill me, my family and my community.  They killed my father.  They’ve been threatening to kill me about…once every two weeks for years (look at them trying to be chummy with Oyand).  There is zero trust.  It would take years to build (not rebuild, build) enough trust for me to feel comfortable there.  

Practically, ooci laws would wreck my income, matrilineal caste-inheritance laws are terrifying-my fiancé and I would go from being fundamentally the same type of people to being *gasp* a mixed-caste couple, which is ridiculous.  

And Evaleens aren’t the only people in Miolee anymore.  We built this, we invited people to come, and now they depend on us.

Last night was a rollercoaster. I’m so happy.

I love you both so much. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for making me feel loved and like I belong. You mean so much to me and I wouldn’t give you two up for the world. I promise to be the best boyfriend I can possibly be. You’ve made me the happiest man alive and I can’t express how much I love you two enough. Thank you so much. I will support you two, I will help you two with anything you want me to help you with, I will always be here for you two and I love you so much. You’re so important to me, and to the world. Thank you.

I love you. @aobatoys @daribabi

Anyone suddenly acting like taking hostage children is something 'only reds' would do or proves something about a whole caste or whatever the fuck should read some articles on Biyan repeatedly.

I really hope the kids get back okay. 

I really hope nobody dies who doesn’t have to. 

I really, really hope everyone is okay.

the second one

An audible scream could probably be heard all around Boca when Teagan had answered her phone to hear the news - yes the second baby Johnson had been welcomed to the world. “I’ll visit first thing tomorrow - okay? Don’t let him do anything too cute until I’ve arrived!” Teagan had done plenty of shopping before of course, baby toys by the bag full were waiting on standby for the day the little boy was born. But looking over all the soft bears and trucks she felt like it was all wrong. Girls were just easier and what if he grew up to hate her? 

The next morning she did the best to put these worries aside as she pulled up to the hospital, it would all go well of course, he was too young to truly hate anyone and everyone loved a cool aunt Teagan. She was beaming as she peaked her head into the room, “How’s mama doing?”

I can’t endorse hurting children, but it would be conveniently simplifying if the hostages were to die. And if that doesn’t happen, I’d bet a lot more than six kids are going to end up suffering from the fallout of this situation.

- I don't think anyone here would think that was a good idea the Calado government isn't nearly organized enough for something like that to work but if someone did
