Women as Leaders conference, The University of Iowa, 1980

To clarify another point, Beetledrink is the only reason this drama is still going on (and is, of course, the only reason it began).  In the summer of 2017, while I was trying to stay neutral in the conflict, I privately contacted her to negotiate a truce between her and Noah.

She was asked to stop talking to and about Noah, and to make a post asking everyone else to do the same.  In return, Noah and his allies would stop talking to and about her.  She sent me a response saying something to this effect:

“There will be no peace at any price.  Noah sent me invasive, disgusting, lascivious messages, and for that he deserves to be punished forever.”

Except, of course, I knew Noah didn’t send those messages.  It was either an unknown anon or a figment of her imagination.  I politely asked her why she equated Noah with the anonymous harasser, and she didn’t answer.  A little while later, I received a message from Bogleech telling me Beetledrink had just told him I was being mean to her.

Ahhhhh yes our girls!!! 

I can totally see them bickering all the time but actually becoming really close friends eventually

also bonding over their similar druid/witch abilities!!

two bad ass babes and liam standing between them looking terrified

laurel being the first one to spot when ari is spiralling into darkness

and ari being one of the first ones to notice when laurel is struggling

they’d definitely develop their own little code and no one else in the pack knows what’s going on but they get each other

arguing over stupid petty things all the time mostly because ari can’t help being snarky and laurel won’t put up with it like the others

despite the bickering they’d definitely go into danger headfirst to save each other!!
