He was all white and black in the night, like an illustration from one of her books. He swept a bow, low and graceful, the kind knights had once made.

Nightly questions got me proceeding but also retreating in my thoughts
Was I wrong for feeling hurt by someone? Is it not ok to say the things done out loud or even more permanent, write about it?
The only thing I’ll take accountability for is my fear of confrontation. For trying to not hurt their feelings I let it fester and boil to the point it could have been called silent resentment. And in the end, resentment is nothing but a snake with two heads it takes u down with it.
I wont let that it stay anymore, it dragged me down with it.
Forgive but never forget
“How empty of me to be so full of you”
“What if Cordelia has changed her mind, and says she will not have a minx like you?”
“She would never!” Lucie was outraged.
“No,” Will agreed. “She would not. As far as I am concerned, you shall perform the ceremony as soon as you please. All I want is for you and Cordelia to live a long and happy life, and never be parted.”
Guys - It’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony. I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.
Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.
I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.
This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.
Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this - I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote. I’m especially asking for help from The Carlyle Group, who put up money for the sale of my music to these two men.
I just want to be able to perform MY OWN music. That’s it. I’ve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.
I love you guys and I thought you should know what’s been going on.

@reallygaymangos I know you asked for a picture of Will trying to fight in a wedding dress, but it sort of turned into a silly little comic. Hope this doesn’t disappoint. ;)
Hoping for this scene in ACOWAR!
I did not expect Alastair Carstairs and Jesse Blackthorn to be my favorite characters, but here we are.
