Personally i think lucians venom can kill klaus.reason being cos the fact that klaus's blood couldnt heal someone bitten means it definately wont heal himself if he was bitten and secondly the ancestors are the once whose gonna take down lucien.just an hunch

Luciens venom may not act the same way on a hybrid the same way as a vampire i,e, Finn
However Lucien is physically stronger so it may not be a venom issue but pure brute strength
In addition the venom is embued with the ashes of the white oak tree So Klaus will be severely weakened

If the venomus white oak ash poison gets to his heart..its over

If I am Klaus I'll just tackle the problem from the source, attack the remaining witches in new Orleans then threaten them to stop supporting Lucien and then take him down for good

The issue is not the witches.. dude

Family / This Lady Has No Womb Nor Cervix by pickabeau1: 11:37am On Apr 18, 2016
'I was born without a womb, cervix and vagina'



Joanna Giannouli, 27, has a condition which means she has no womb, cervix and upper vagina. Here, she explains the challenges of a syndrome that affects around one in 5,000 women.

When we first saw the doctor, my father put on a brave face. My mother, on the other hand, didn't take it so well. She blamed herself for the past 10 years. It was really heartbreaking to see her like that.

We didn't talk about it much for the first five years. I wasn't able to talk about it. I felt destroyed and incredibly weak. My mother believes she may have done something wrong in her pregnancy. I've explained to her that she didn't do anything wrong, it was just genes.

It's a condition that is stigmatised. The most hurtful thing was when I was abandoned after my former partner found out.

I was engaged when I was 21, living in Athens. When I told my fiance about the condition, he broke off the engagement. That all belongs in the past and I am OK now. For the past five years, fortunately, I have had a stable and loving relationship. He knew from the beginning that I have this condition and he chose to stay with me. He knows that maybe the future will be without children. He's OK with it. I'm also OK with that. I am one of the luckiest.



My mother took me to our family doctor when I was 14 because I still wasn't menstruating. He didn't examine me because he wouldn't touch my private parts and when I became 16 he sent me to a hospital to be checked out. They realised that I didn't have a vaginal tunnel and I had Rokitansky syndrome.Because I was born without a functional vagina, the doctors had to make one in order for me to have sex.

It went well, really well. I stayed in a hospital for about two weeks, in order to recover. Then I had to be about three months laying on a bed - I couldn't get up. I did vaginal exercises in order to expand my new vaginal tunnel. The first sign of it is you have primal amenorrhea - you don't have any menstruation at all. Apart from that, you cannot have sexual intercourse. That's why I had major surgery aged 17. The doctors made me a new one. It was a revolutionary procedure in Athens.

The new vagina the doctors made was narrow and small, and it caused me a lot of pain while having sex, and I had to expand the perineum by doing vaginal exercises. It's a small area underneath the vagina. It's skin, it's tissue, and they had to cut it more in order to expand the entrance, as I call it.

After that I was OK physically, but I was not OK emotionally. It's a burden, like something that you cannot get rid of it. I had partners who emotionally abused me about this condition. I couldn't have a stable relationship for many years because of that. It is a haunting and unbearable situation. It steals your happiness, your mentality, your chances of having a good and stable relationship. It leaves you with a huge void that cannot be filled, it fills you with anger, guilt, and shame.



What is Rokitansky syndrome?
A condition referring to women who are born with an underdeveloped or absent womb, cervix and upper vagina
◾Women with Rokitansky syndrome have ovaries and external Instruments (vulva) and they still develop breasts and pubic hair as they get older
◾Often the first sign of Rokitansky syndrome is that a girl does not start having periods. Sex may also be difficult because the vagina is shorter than normal

Source: NHS UK



Apart from that, it was hard afterwards. It was just taking a toll on me emotionally, psychologically - it was really, really hard.

Well, it's been almost 10 years. I'm still feeling bad about it but I'm not ashamed any more, it's been way too long. And I've realised that I cannot change it, it's just the way it is, I have to embrace it and live with it.

For the first few years, and still sometimes, I thought I was worthless. Damaged goods. Not worthy of being loved. I was a lost soul for many years. It can destroy your life. It puts you in a really hard position. I battled depression, anxiety, panic attacks, you name it.

It taught me a lesson. Although I don't believe in God, I do believe that this was a huge wake-up call - never take anything for granted.

I was reborn. It gave me a new life, a new identity. It changed the course of my life. Before, I was a typical teenager with ups and downs. Afterwards, I became really, really mature. I grew up rapidly. I am thankful for that.


This defined me as a person. I am living each day as it is. I am not making any future plans because I don't know if I'm going to be alive.

Not many people know this about me. I wanted to keep it a secret and my mum told family members. It wasn't the best experience because people pity you. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I'm not dying, I'm not in danger. People had this pitiful look. It made me feel sadder about myself.

I couldn't talk about it because in Athens - in Greece generally - people are really close-minded. Sometimes it felt like I was living in the Middle Ages.

I couldn't find a support group in Greece, I couldn't find anyone else to talk about it. And I needed someone to talk about it! It was huge, and most women with the condition are ashamed, really. I've found a couple of women that were willing to talk about it, and after a while they disappeared because they were ashamed of it.

I would love to be a mother in some way, be it a biological, a surrogate mother or a foster mum. A mother is not the one who gives birth but is the woman who cares for a child.

At this stage of my life, I'm not thinking about it but maybe in the future I will have children. I love kids, we will see.

It is liberating to talk about it. I want to support every woman that has this condition because I have been through hell and I know what problems this can cause. Many women have committed suicide because of this. It can be really depressing.

I found the strength and courage because I want to help other women in the same position because if we don't help each other then who will? It gives me strength when I talk about it.

I hate that bomb skeleton eh..I'm trying to get the Giant Skilo.

Below is my current deck..effective.. Though weak against Giants.

I mean Giant Skeleton.. I support it with vlkyrie or musketter just to get to the arena towers
It deal 600 damage upon death

Then I send a knight or hog rider on the second path to cause more havoc
Good card...Goblin Barrel but you need something to send along to distract

Change your witch to Giant Skeleton and use Minion Horde instead of Hog

Kanye West Explains Those Confederate Flag Concert Shirts (PHOTOS)
Oct 29, 2013
If you haven’t already heard, Kanye West is selling “Yeezus” Tour t-shirts emblazoned with the confederate flag. While we’re not shocked by this controversial move — we’re also not amused.

Nevertheless, we’ve been patiently waiting for the outspoken star to explain why he decided to use the historically racist symbol for his Wes Lang designed concert merch.

That moment came during an interview at Los Angeles’ 97.1 AMP radio station on Monday. The “Blood On The Leaves” rapper shared his thoughts on the backlash he’s getting about the products and his aim to reappropriate the flag.


“React how you want. Any energy you got is good energy. You know the confederate flag represented slavery in a way — that’s my abstract take on what I know about it. So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag now. Now what are you going to do?”
Well, there’s not much we can do. Kanye isn’t only selling these items at his concerts — the 36-year-old star also just opened a pop-up shop in L.A. filled with his Confederate flag gear.

“I just think people look cool in it. They look nice. And it’s colorless also,” Kanye told Los Angeles 97.1 AMP. “It’s super hood and super white boy approved at the same time. That’s really what my style has always been.”

Despite Kanye’s explanation, some critic still find it hard to believe that folks will be walking around in Confederate flag threads courtesy of a black man. If anyone is still unclear on the history behind the flag, Al Sharpton sums it up nicely:

“The Confederate flag symbolizes dehumanization, injustice and pain. It is a stark reminder of an era in our history that was defined by the abhorrent practice of slavery. And it is representative of a mentality that looked upon Blacks as inferiors who needed to remain in the shackles of subservience. If you don’t believe me, ask family members of those that were beaten, castrated and lynched under the guise of that Confederate flag.”
