*repost with edits*

Not be dramatic but I am genuinely convinced this whole thing in dizi land is some political setup to bother and threaten the very liberal entertainment industry done by the conservative government... cause the way it's going is EXTREMELY sus to me. None of it makes any rational sense. The logic does not follow.

There is legit no reason why Serenay needed to be questioned about her boyfriend. That is BONKERS. Its RIDICULOUS. She is the number 1 turkish actor in turkey right now, and they wanted her to knock her out by humiliating her. There is no legal ground as to why she was questioned. People's private lives are not the governments or law enforcement's business. They just wanted to embarrass her.

There is also no reason why Deniz Işin needs to be questioned just cause of a story she made. It's insane. They're giving her a record for what? Sure its under the "victim" category, but theyre still giving her a police record. Why? Makes no sense. It was just an Instagram story!!! Nothing she said in her story was criminal or legally binding. There's no reason why she's being questioned legally either. Although, side note, she taking back everything she said the second there was an actual investigation.... she lied. Shame on her. She essentially ruined 3 people's reputations in the heat of the moment over lies and her 5 minutes of fame. Legit shame on her. I am genuinely so disgusted. But still, questioning someone over an insta story is wild.

Ayse Barim being not allowed to leave the country is EXTREMELY dramatic. Whether you like her or not, that IS very dramatic. The allegations agaist her not remotely criminal enough for them to BAN her from leaving the country. You'd think she's some drug mobster or gun dealer. She's the most successful female figure in the industry, most globally popular artists sign with her, so they wanted her out. She recently apparently got somewhat involved in liberal politics too, which dun dun dun, theres the motive. They legit tried to dramatize this whole thing via the media, cause they need her gone.

There is absolutely no reason for them to do what they did to Mert Demir and publically lie about his sexuality to try to humiliate him and throw him out of the game (FYI for those of you who don't know, hes a threat to the music sector. They've wanted him out of the system ever since he showed up 2 years ago and blew up. Hes been constantly attacked since by the media. He's got no label, no nothing. He records his stuff and posts it on his own, they become hits, and thats a VERY big threat to the music labels and CEO's in turkey right now who are trying to control the sector and keep the money to themselves). What they did to him was so out of left field, especially for turkish media in the context of a Muslim country, that i couldn't even believe what i was reading. Like i genuinely re read the original turkish acticle 4 times to make sure i was reading it right. I was like "surely im messing up my turkish cause there is no way they wrote this and published it." Like last time they pulled the "gay" card was on Tarkan 30 years ago (interestingly enough for the very same reasons for him too👀). They wanted Mert out. That was the intention. You only pull that card in a conservative/traditional/islamic society when you want to destroy and get someone out. It's INSANE. I cannot reiterate this enough. It's BONKERS. You NEVER talk about sexuality publically over there. And yet they did here so brazenly... HUH?!? Like WHAT?!?!??! I am genuinely still in shock over this like the fact that it was freaking PUBLISHED is NUTS to me. Like literally how dare they?

The man who wrote all this is an old man who's tries to be a government ass kisser TV host (hes not even a proper reporter), he's an extream conservative, and highly irrelevant. Hes a tv host on one of the segments on TV100, which is channel number... 37. Yes you read that right. Channel 37!!!! Not channel 1, not channel 15, no... thirty fucking seven!!! He's a nobody. He has a column on the website where he writes opinions. Yet somehow this no body blew up like he did??? And yet no one's questioning him or touching him in all of this. Hes the one with accusations. Hes the one that needs to be questioned, actually. Why isn't he?? Why isn't anyone going after him? He should be suspect #1. No one's going after him, cause they probably paid him to write all of it.

In fact why is it only the powerful/successful women who are being put under legal pressures? They didn't even question Mert, but they did Serenay... HUH? This smells like turkish conservative bias to me. This whole thing is all of a sudden being covered by political pundits too.... especially the conservative ones. HUH?!?! Like all this is INSANE and VERY suspicious to me. I'm just looking at it with question marks. It genuinely does smell like a government operation, and Turkey does have the track record for this. They've done it before. They just wanted to humble the entertainment industry with a made up lie about specific individuals to show them whos in charge. Which is why they digged up a three month old ridiculous article written by an irrelevant person that no one cared about and suddenly made it blow up everywhere. They had Ayşe, most successful women in management, they had Serenay, most successful actor currently, and they had Mert, most successful Singer in the country at the moment. Three birds with one stone, all gone. That was the operation, that was the intention. To give out a message to the industry. Given that Deniz Işin essentially admitted that she lied too and took everything back, i wont be surprised if she was somehow involved here as well. The highly respected journalist Fatih Altayli did mention this last week too, and the more I see the more I actually kinda believe him now.... it genuinely makes sense. Cause none of this is remotely normal. This was WILD.

At the end of the day, the true victim of this is actually Mert Demir. What was done to him is frankly beyond disgusting. Nobody deserves what he went through. Nobody deserves their sexuality being lied about/discussed/ridiculed/humiliated. I hope HES okay and can move past this mentally. My heart breaks for him, especially knowing how it took him 10 years to get to be where he is now, with no one backing him, and for that all to go out the window over such dumb things. What they did to him publically is nothing short of VILE. I hope HES okay🥹

[roaringheat]

I've been having a really hard time lately cause ive been feeling like i'm not wanted or cared about by the ppl around me and it hit me especially hard at work so I took some time after my shift to destress by walking around the shopping center i'm in. I ended up having 2 separate long ass convos with these total strangers, one at a GameStop and one at a pet store and both explicitly told me how much they enjoyed the conversation and that they wanted to see me again. Man....there really is some real shit behind the whole go out and talk to strangers thing

first up we have this bad boy <3 it just gives me major domestic boyfriend!mick vibes, taking the dogs out at 6am for dog walks in the autumn, days out in the winter. soft bf energy is so intense, i love it 🤍

second is this one <3 it just looks like the kinda photo he’d send you when you’ve said you’ve had a really bad day. i looooooove it

next up - this motherfucker <3 prema mick is the ultimate boyfriend. this seems like the kinda photo that would be taken after he’d just won a race and would come straight up to you and i love it

[spoopylay]

Hellooo theree, so can i request something? Maybe a enemies to lover's thing with Bokuto where they are enemies in their childhood and then they meet each other again at highschool. But why they became enemies is actually because Bokuto like to tease her because of her chubbs, even tho they we're friends before. Idk if that make sense 😭, You can decide the ending if you're feeling like making this request but maybe end it with some fluff? 🥺. Oh and you're writings are ✨AMAZING✨, They always make my day ten times better!!! LOVE YA 😫💕💕

Of course! Sorry it took so long but here you go <3

Bokuto x Chubby fem!reader

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

You moved to Japan when you were a little kid. You didn't really care because making friends with others was kinda easy. Everyone was fascinated with the fact that you came from another country. You were happy until one of your friends decided to turn you guy's relationship sour.

You and Bokuto were tied to the hip when you two were little kids, but over time he became so mean. At first his jokes seemed harmless , but they became very hurtful after. Something you didn't like them is that they were all related to your chub. It wasn't really something that you could control, but he didn't care.

At some point you moved schools because of it. He walked into class one day asking where you were and your friends gave him a mean look.

"She moved. BECAUSE OF YOU BOKUTO," one of your friends shouted at him. Your other friends were still giving him a mean look because they all really loved having you around, regardless of how you looked.

Bokuto's face went blank. Maybe when you told him to stop you actually meant it. He's honestly regretting what he did.

Many years pass by and you're in your third year of high school. Unfortunately, you had to moved to a new high school but you were fine with it.

You walk into the school and try and find your way around. You were getting to your next class until you bumped into a boy with grey hair with white frosted tips. 

“Oh I’m so-, Y/N !?”

You immediately recognized that voice legit sprinted to your next class. Bokuto was running after you causing a scene in the hallway. 

“Y/N WAIT UP,” he shouted.

The bell rang and you walked into the classroom then over to your seat ignoring the fact that you were chased by a 6′1 Bokuto Kotaro a couple of minutes ago.

You were on high alert for the rest of semester. Over time you did make friends and you told them your situation. They now are your protection squad, they are always 99% sure that you will not run into Bokuto. But you see, they only said 99% and so that 1% happened to you today.

It was lunch and you were going to the bathroom before getting your lunch from your bag. You go and wash your hands and dry them.You after walk out of the bathroom thinking your safe, but you actually weren’t.  

“Y/N! THERE YOU ARE,” Bokuto said running up to you.

Before you even thought of running away he’s already got you pinned onto the wall, nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. 

“Now, why have you been running away from me? I just wanna talk.”

“Well, I DON’T,’ you said pushing him off of you.

“Y/n, if this is about the thing that happened when we were kids I’m so sorry. I knew I shouldn’t have done that and I didn’t know better. I just really liked you and didn’t know what to do. And I still do now so please, just listen,” he said grabbing your wrist.

“He sounded like he was telling the truth, did he really like me,” you were questioning in your brain. 

“Fine Bokuto, I guess I accept your apology,” you said rolling your eyes.

“Ok ok, let’s restart. Hi, I’m Bokuto,” he said reaching his hand out to shake yours.

“I’m y/n,” you said shaking his hand.

Over time you guys became amazing friends and at some point had feelings for each other (again). Now you two are dating and he’s so happy about it. Everytime someone asks who his girlfriend is he’ll point at you and say “This beautiful, smart, sexy, amazing person right here is my godly girlfriend!” He loves showing pda all the time. He’ll kiss you, put his large hand around your wide hip, and put his hands around your thick waist. He also loves showing your off on his social medias too! Trust me,most of his insta feed is you. He loves the picture he posted two days ago, it was a mirror selfie you took in the shared bedroom you two have in you guy’s apartment before you guys were going out to a special event. Both of you were dressed up, you in a long navy blue, silk dress no sleeves and him in a suit that matched your dress. His phone was in your hand and his hands were around your hips. The amount of comments that picture got  about you two being the ideal couple was crazy! Turns out even other people find you two cute together too. 

Fast forward to the future, he loved you so much that he proposed to you when you two were four years into the relationship and now you guys are gonna get married soon.     

[loserforeddie]

last post imma make about this and then I'm done

trigger warning- SA and Kiddnaping

so basically, this girl on insta said that Joesph Quinn SA'ed her. her overall story just sounds so made up.

to give you a run down, she said that at the meet and greet, he told her to "meet him in the back" where he then kidnapped her and SA'ed her.

for one, this would be physically imposible?? like security and stuff was legit right there, not to mention ALL OF HIS FANS??

on top of that, the girl who accused Joesph used a photo of a different girl at the meet and greet and said it was her :(

This is the girl who’s picture got used (SHE IS IN NO SHAPE OR FORM CONNECTED TO THE GIRL WHO ACCUSED JOESPH!! THIS IS JUST HER EXPLAINING THE SITUATION)

^^this girl (in the video) came out and said that she did not accuse Joesph of anything.

the girl who accused Joesph is @/jqsiess on Instagram

i am only giving out this username because I think everyone should go and report her. this is just an overall horrible situation.

like i said, i just wanted everyone to on my page to be informed about this. but this is the last post I will be making about this subject. i might talk about it more in the future if anyone has any questions.

I just thought I should use this platform to talk about this, bc it is an important subject

Portwell Nation rise up

Ashlyn I love you but whyyyyy did you ruin the momenttttttt

Oh my god

Why are Rini being happy and cute when they JUST blew up at each other

Im so confused

Is that normal for relationships?

To go from a major fight then being super cute and happy like nothing happened????

Ok now we’re talking about it…..

“At YAC I liked who I was there” uh…Nini weren’t you kinda miserable there?

Oooooooooo

Here’s the thing

Right now Ricky is clinging onto the safety feeling

And Nini JUST said she didn’t want to be ‘safe’

Im glad he told her about the insta comment

Are they….are they actually breaking up now?

Alright this is probably the best way they both could’ve ended things

A mutual, understanding, emotion filled break up with no hard feelings

That’s gonna help both of them in the future I think

Assuming the writers don’t throw them back together at the end of the episode

9

My heart does go out to them tho :/

Howie does have a very nice voice

LOOK AT DOMESTIC PORTWELL

GUYS LOOK AT THAT

THAT’S SO CUTE

HE PUT A BLANKET OVER HER LIKE COME ON

SHE FELT SAFE ENOUGH TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH NEXT TO HIM

rina could never at least right now

Ok we got all the ships in this song

Except for Rini

If this is foreshadowing im very content

Awwww ricky ☹

Beautiful Howie

I loved that so much

Great voice

Great ending to an episode

--

Did I actually keep track of how many times Ricky said “Nini” in this episode? Yes, yes I did. It helped me stay more focused ironically enough. Luckily half of those were in conversation with Nini so that wasn’t awful lmao.

So I was right about Rip Rini. Incredible. Hopefully they stay broken up for a while and focus on themselves. RICKERAPY CAN FINALLY SHINE!!!!!

Also, EJ likes Gina confirmed? Portwell nation, how we feelin today?

[sscarn]

Saturday, it started just like any other Saturday that I worked to make some extra money. I didn’t have to get anyone else ready, just me, myself and I out the door. I put the address into maps and I was off. I stupidly didn’t listen when Siri (that’s what everyone calls the voice of maps, right?!?!) told me to get off the second exit I came to because stupid Siri didn’t mention the upcoming traffic. So, I sat in the traffic, worried about how late I would actually be, but so far the traffic was only adding an additional 13 minutes, so I would still be in the office before my first patient’s appointment time and very slightly relaxed. I turned up the music and tried to decide how I would take on the rest of the day.

I knew my husband was probably still asleep and hungover as shit. He and a friend had finished a whole bottle of Elijah Craig the night before. I had had one whiskey sour but stopped drinking after I proceeded to take my son and our dog on a walk and three GIANT loose huskies ran up to us. They didn’t attack, but my dog had just been attacked by a chihuahua a few weeks prior, like legit attacked, so we had some PTSD and I just screamed for my husband to come help me because we barely made it up the block And I didn’t know what else to do.

So, I worked the short Saturday shift and decided we really needed to work on the pool liner. I helped my husband with that and we let the kids “help” too as the water was filling the bottom and we were working out the wrinkles. After we had put our time in, we decided to go out to eat at one of our favorite spots that is super kid friendly. They literally have the best French onion soup and the chocolate Kiss drink is like drinking your dessert. Since I didn’t really have a great Friday, I decided to meet up with some friends after dinner with my family.

We literally were having the best time!! Our one friend was turning 39 on Sunday and they all had went to school together, so I was the baby at the party. We all were laughing and joking and having the absolute best time. I tried doing a boomerang of us doing pistachio shots, that were absolutely incredible, but it took multiple tries and quite a few bloopers to get the perfect boomerang to post on Insta.

Fast forward to us moving outdoors for the smokers and to get some fresh air when I decided to tell one of my closest friends about a really weird experience I had had on Friday. There was this guy I went to school with that was asking me about OnlyFans and asked if he could send me some material to give him advice on. Needless to say it got way blown out of proportion when my friends drunk fiancée overheard the convo. He thought I was showing her nudeys of some guy and started to freak. That’s when he called me a “whore” which I’m not sure if anyone had actually ever called me before but I’m not saying I’m not, but I wouldn’t necessarily classify myself as one. But what exactly counts as a whore?

The dictionary says whore- noun: DEROGATORY prostitute. Well, for one, I’ve never actually been paid for sex. When I was younger I definitely have used my promiscuity to get things from men, but I never was actually paid for sex as I feel a prostitute would be.

This friend’s fiancé has been known to go to far after one too many drinks, but never have I seen him do it with anyone but his fiancé. Also, I believe us to be friends so even though I was pretty damn drunk, his words cut like a knife “WHORE” and then he proceeded to bring up he who shouldn’t be spoken of. And I’m not sure what else he said because then all I remember is being really drunk and I screamed back at him and then was being ushered into the house by friend because she wanted to

Protect me and not let me get hurt.

The fiancé ended up getting driven home by the only sober friend and we all sat and talked for awhile til I ended up passing out on a chair in the living room. When I woke up it was almost 5:30. My watch was missing. The cat was purring at me. And all that really stuck with me was being called a “WHORE”. Just the thought of the words stung my whole being. I mean I know I slept with someone I shouldn’t have. I’m

Married with children. I’m not supposed to have this crazy side sexual life, so the fiancé was right, right?! I was feeling queasy and knew I wanted to go home. I looked up an Uber and my stingey (is that even a word) self refused to pay $10 plus a tip

To walk 2 miles that I’ve run actually even ran in the past. So, I decided to gather my things, I had to sneak into my sleeping friends room and snatch my watch off the charger, found my purse and slide my green old navy flip flops on to begin my journey home.

As I walked down the hill from my friends house I saw the most beautiful sunrise and couldn’t help but take a couple good pictures even though I couldn’t really stop replaying “WHORE” in my mind. I think I was as close to sober as I could be at 5:30

In the morning and the weather was honestly quite perfect for my walk home. I spent the beginning of the walk thinking about just how much of a “WHORE”

I am. I definitely have slept with quite a few people, but since I’ve been married I’ve only fell in love once. Wait, what was I thinking, I fell in love and I’m married. Holy fuck I am a fucking “WHORE”. Who falls in love while

Being married. How fucking taboo? I mean Will and Jada have a relationship like this but we a far from Will And Jada, but are we? We are humans with needs and wants. And I needed more and succumbed to my husbands wants. My husband wanted me to sleep around! I am a “WHORE” !!!!

I kept walking with my head spinning, not sure if it was from the excessive amount of alcohol or the fact that my mind was making me believe I was in fact a “WHORE”. Every time I replayed the word in my mind the knife just seemed to cut deeper.

I was about halfway home when I felt the knife cut so deep, I’m not sure if it was seeing my pathetic reflection walking home from a drunken stupor or just the word “WHORE” repeated for the the millionth time

But I started to cry. The tears were just flowing. I wasn’t sobbing, but I was hurt. I felt like a “WHORE” and all over falling in love with someone that didn’t even feel the same, and then I remembered the other stupid thing I did while drunk. I blocked him after he looked at my Instagram stories and I attempted to text him “I hate you” possibly multiple times, but drunk me deleted all

And any evidence so I don’t even know what I truly said. I started to cry even more. So now I felt like a really stupid “WHORE”.

As I finished my trek home, i continued to cry and feel bad for myself because I was hurt. Hurt that I was just another one of his “WHORES”. I think the knife cut so damn deep because it made the reality sink in that he was only having sex with me just like any of the other girls he’d hook And walk away from. He was never really into me, he made it pretty clear with his actions and even though we were in a weird and difficult situation, if he had loved me, even the tiniest bit, he would have shown me even the smallest ounce more of respect. And that’s when I knew maybe this night was exactly what I needed. Maybe life throws these hard truths at you just to get you to open your eyes and see the bigger picture. So, maybe I am a “WHORE” but maybe I’m not. Maybe I just fell in love with the wrong person and made a lot of stupid decisions.

reblog if you feel disrespected by skam france and demand official apology

below a full list of all the offenses:

Manon going back to Ch*rbage after he emotionally manipulated her to not testify against his brother (who got her drunk, took nudes of her, and kept blackmailing her) because “after all nothing happened = he didn’t r*pe her”

Making Arthur and Alexia a couple in the first place just so he could cheat on her with Noee and lie to her for weeks and then having her break up with him, only for them to suddenly being good friends in s6 and kissing in the last clip (which ngl almost made me throw up)

Bringing up Lucas’ insecurities and abandonment issues but never letting him talk about them with Eliott; posting some damage control posts on instagram instead and pretending like Lucas is fine with Eliott kissing Lola for the film (which he clearly wasn’t, the writers seem to not know him at all)

Wasting time to edit Tiff’s head onto different animals and posting things on that cyberbullying account that no one cared about instead of posting something from the grew + the worst social media ever

Not giving us a proper goodbye to the grew and not really saying anything about their future

Lying to the fans about god knows what we will see in s6 and baiting them to watch even though legit nothing of it happened

Not continuing Arthur’s story in s6 (fine, I don’t really care about that but we were supposed to see it so ???? )

Treating some fans more privileged than the others, giving them spoilers about the new seasons, inviting them on set

FranceTV Slash and SkamLaSerie instas mocking fans in their stories - saying stuff like Lola will cause the break up between Daphne and Basile, “addiction can be useful for flirting” (yikes), creating a ship war between fans in s5 by posting two photos of Alexia/Arthur and Noee/Arthur with a caption “we love them both, we can’t choose”, the host of the live of s6 calling people on tumblr “obsessed” and not apologizing when people said they’re offended by that, blocking people who were asking questions about why the SA was never mentioned again during the live

Liking all the praise but constantly ignoring fans when they were asking questions about writing choices and then blocking them

the rest of 50 offenses under cut cause turns out they really disrespected me more than I thought

feel free to add whatever you want if i forgot about something

None of the girls really apologizing to Imane at the end of season 4 after all they’ve put her through and after they took the side of the racist (who already had a history of drama with Emma) instead of their friend

Taking away Noee’s integrity and making her say “I love you” out loud (which was totally ooc cause an episode earlier she said LSF is her language and she doesn’t like her voice) after Arthur (who was leading her on for weeks) told her they can’t be together

Male gaze in s5 because even though the sign language is a body language, the way camera was lingering on her flat, bare stomach, a few times showing a close up on her boobs during the “song-dance” scene was male gaze

Lack of beautiful, slow-mo, piano music scenes for Alexia with Arthur staring at her awestruck because apparently she’s not worthy enough

Completely sidelining the deaf/hoh storyline in favour of cheating/love triangle plot

Reducing Camille to a translator and randomly making him Mika’s boyfriend because why the hell not

Completely forgetting about Mika and Lisa after s5 (did they ever find that roommate????)

Noee kissing Arthur right after he shared his traumatic story with her and overshadowing domestic abuse with cheating

Absolutely no follow-up about P*trick and domestic abuse after s5 

Having P*trick cheat on Arthur’s mom with Emma’s mom because they’re all one big family

Random crackfic farm episode that didn’t make absolutely ANY sense

Killing Fifi rip [*]

Arthur getting hit by The Car and being perfectly fine the next day

The Boy Squad becoming cheating apologists, Lucas giving Arthur the same advice he gave to Emma in s1 and Yann (who got hurt because of it back then) supporting it

Character regression, especially for Lucas, and the whole boy squad acting out of character

Continuously trying to make Lucas look like a bad guy because they knew we would forgive him everything

Arthur suddenly liking art even though it hasn’t been ever mentioned before and his whole instagram was filled with space related posts

Parallels between Eliott/Lucas and Arthur/Noee

Catherine - or lack of her - aka the queerbait from s3

Completely ignoring character’s birthdays - Basile and Manon (second year in a row)

Not introducing Lola before and making s6 about a complete stranger but still expecting the fans to like her from the get-go and watch the show by baiting the fans with the promise of “unofficial mains” (Daphne and Eliott)

Forcing the Lola/Eliott friendship and selling it in the promo as sister/brother relationship instead of writing it in a way that would make it flow naturally

Making Eliott Otteli Urbex King only to forget the plot after more or less three clips; also having Eliott hide the truth from Lucas for months and then pretending to resolve it in a text to Lola ??? which didn’t make sense in the first place but then it turned out that it was just damage control

Making Lola hook up with much older guys than her over and over again and having one of them s*xually assault just so Eliott could play the hero and save her; never bringing that up again

Making Eliott punch people left and right - anything to protect the ladies, Sofiane punching Ch*rbage in s4 can agree I guess

Making Eliott Otteli Urbex King only to forget the plot after more or less three clips; also having Eliott hide the truth from Lucas for months and then pretending to resolve it in a text to Lola ??? which didn’t make sense in the first place but then it turned out that it was just damage control

Letting Eliott talk about his past and insecurities only so Lola could prey on them later and emotionally manipulate him into drinking

Also Eliott not letting Lola apologize and brushing off her apologies because apparently that was nothing at all and it’s okay to let people walk you over and manipulate you 

Not letting Lucas speak for himself

The whole Lux & Obscurus plot, having Eliott write the film about his and Lucas’ relationship and what his love means to Eliott only to have Lola play in it, not adjusting the script so that it would fit the change and still keeping the Eliott/Lola kiss as a big fuck you to the fandom instead of having it end with a forehead touch and fade to black especially that they haven’t even showed it to us again during the screening of Eliott’s film (but it made all the other couples turned on enough to kiss in that exact moment so maybe it had a purpose) (it didn’t what the fuck was that)

Also acting like Lucas can’t spare a few hours to film it with Eliott cause he has to sTuDy FoR tHe BaC when they were filming it in the middle of a night on Friday, how is that realistic

Not giving Eliott any friends of his own and pretending like he’s a lone wolf even though he’s the biggest sunshine ever and he’s naturally drawn to people; acting like there are no other studens at his film school who could help him film his project so instead he let Lola find random people who knew nothing about filming to help him; having a bunch of random people at the screening of his film and if they were supposed to be his “friends” from the film school then I’m gonna throw hands

Acting like we will see what “minute by minute” really means and “see Eliott like we’ve never seen him before” which never happened

Switching POV for two clips only and they all revolved around Lola because they decided to go with su*cide attempt in episode 9

Also ending that episode with a su*cide note even though the next clip was before midnight on Friday

Giving Lola the worst therapist ever and a really poor attempt at cheering her up from the nurse

Enforcing that “having a loved one” is “the real reason to change” instead of sending the message that you should change for yourself first and foremost and showing that reaching out for professional help is a good thing and can really help you

Acting like ED can be cured by italian cuisine and not mentioning it again for weeks; having Daphne ask Lola not to go to rehab because they have each other and a few clips after that she’s suddenly after her first therapy (love that for her but there’s something huge missing here)

Making Lola’s life a living hell and a misery porn for 10 weeks straight

Making P*trick, Thierry and Lola’s biological dads The Worst (men are trash but it would be nice to see some good parenting on the show)

Giving all the members of La Mif two or three personality traits and not fleshing out their characters

Giving Maya a girlfriend because a season without a love triangle is a waste

Not really developing Mayla well and having their first kiss right after Eliott/Lola cursed kiss as a preemptive damage control to shut us up

Never mentioning why Lola was doing

Wasting a good chunk of the season on Tiff and that insta account and ending it with “she’s addicted to social media”

Giving Yann like one line each season after s3

Reducing Sofiane to the background dancer in s5 and s6

Hating female characters

F/M friendships are only possible if the guy is gay, otherwise cheating always had to be involved

and you know. in general. pretty much everything they did after s3.

[redxblueihateloveyou]

i know that there are rinharu shippers that exaggerate interactions and read too deeply into them, but ngl mh shippers take it to a whole new level. Like, yeah we all know Haru cares about Mako, he's his best friend, but they take soooooooo many things and twist it out of context and then try to claim it as canon. i don't get it. it's fine if makoharu is your deal, but then they use it to attack rinharu and its like not. even. canon???

Every shipper exaggerates their otp moments, I mean, it’s a normal thing. But there’s a huge difference between taking an existing moment and overemphasizing it and taking this moment and turning it completely upside down, you know what I mean? Take a canon moment and go ahead and exaggerate it, but don’t create something that didn’t happen and exaggerate it, and don’t take a canon moment and make it the complete opposite of what happened.

I think it’s perfectly okay and understandable, when you like see your ship smile at each other or smth and freak out, for example. Or like when Rin said that maybe he and Haru also gonna be in one bed together next year, like I think, I deserve to make a big deal out of this, cause... I mean, it’s right there. He said it, not me.  

Or take me, for example, after the new bnha ova, when I went like “tododeku flirted and forgot bakugou under the rocks”, which was like a hilarious scene. I’m of course exaggerating, cause I just found it funny that they started talking about getting out without even looking around for the third party, that could be crushed under rocks, but I’m just joking. I mean, you can’t help but joke at scenes like this, when it’s your otp.

Now imagine if todobaku fans for example were watching that scene in ova and be like “Todoroki only ran to Midoriya because he thought Bakugou was buried under him, and then Midoriya threw a magic dust at him so he couldn’t remember anything.” Can you even imagine such madness? Now that’s how most Makoharu fans are watching Free!

And I just want to say, that I’m normally in many fandoms are so good with people who ship something that I don’t. I mean, I absolutely love bakudeku and todobaku fans, like 90% are so sweet and they even write comments under my tododeku vids like “this is amazing, respect from bakudeku gang” and KNB fandom is very nice no matter what they ship, and etc.

But.. but makoharu, I mean Makoto fans, I in all seriousness cannot talk to. I mean, these bunch... most of them don’t even like Makoto for who he is. They sell him as some protective and secretly very dangerous dude. It’s like if I said that Haru is my favorite, cause he’s so good at communicating with people.

I mean, to create something that’s completely OOC and claim that it’s there is just utter nonsense to me. Like when someone wrote that Haru is unrequitedly in love with Makoto, I almost peed myself from laughing, but honestly at some point it all got to the point where it’s not funny anymore, cause when you read their posts, you realize that they’re serious.

I mean you gotta realize that when you change characters to the point that they’re not these characters anymore, it’s not called “all ships are valid”, it called “pure stupidity”. Because it’s not the said ship already. It’s some other characters.

And when you constantly post not in your tag and get jealous of a rinharu post that got 20k notes and screenshoot it on insta even tho it has nothing to do with your ship and wasn’t even tagged no by makoharu no by makoto, there’s clearly something not okay with you, just saying.

And I’ve seen some fandoms/ships who twist everything to the point where it gets histerical. 

Like when, for example, when Eren told Mikasa that he always hated her because she behaves like a slave without her own will, and they interpreted it as “he said it because he loves her so so much” and I’m not joking there’s a whole tumblr post dedicated to this.

And I’ve seen some fandoms/ships who twist everything to the point where I’m genuinely worried for people’s sanity.

Like when V had a live translation and someone wrote him about getting on with Jungkook (1stly, are u even ok???) and he addressed this and asked to stop being delusional, and that they’re friends. I legit thought maybe it’ll stop people, until next day I saw a post on YouTube about how Bighit tries to cover vkook with jikook and Jimin is an asshole who always hangs on Jungkook... I’m like I do not know how to react to this. I mean, do I wanna ask why Bighit would want to cover one gay BTS ship with another one? Or should we just skip to the question “are you okay?” lmao 

But I still think Makoharu fans take the cake tbh.

I mean it’s not about the ship wars, because I normally don’t mind anyone shipping anything, since everyone has their own tastes and some people, like in real life, see love in all kind of crazy shit. Like someone thinks “he treats you like shit and yells at you, means he loves you”, someone think that it’s if you’re with somebody all your life or grateful for something... ppl mistake this for love too. And hey, to everyone love means different things. Someone just settle for things, some dream big and wants to live a life. No judging. 

But like if you ship makoharu, accept it for what it is, not for something it’s clearly not. But once again, it’s mostly makoto fans, cause it’s all going from twisting a character, and pretending he’s not what he is.

But then once again, many people do not understand characters in anime in general. Like if you think Momoi is really Kuroko’s love interest and do not see what author intended, you probably need to broaden your horizons a bit.

Or like if you think that, idk, Alois is a villain, Lance is really this cheerful and Kuroko is an angel. I mean, it’s hilarious how even in some obvious situations people do not get things. Like seriously, maybe put just a tiny bits of brains into work when you’re watching, this is all I ask.

And don’t get me wrong, I won’t  generalize and say that all makoharu shippers are like that, but there are some ships and sometimes even whole fandoms whose most fans are just dumb, and makoharu is in top three of those for sure. I’m sorry, but it’s true, you saw it. I just can’t even have a normal conversation or a healthy argument with them, cause the logic doesn’t exist there.

And ones again, don’t get me wrong, you can be the smart one in the dumb fandom, too. Sometimes fandoms embarrass nice people, it happens.

Dance Like No One is Watching

Summary: Life gets hard, loving each other isn’t

Word Count: just shy of 1.1k

Warnings: a slight tiny tinge of oof, but really it’s mostly sweet fluffy fluff fluff

Author Notes: I had plans to work on something else entirely tonight. Then this post came across my Insta feed and I keysmashed to @fallinallincurls​ legit saying shit shit shit shit shit I cannot fic this. Next thing I know out pour words. The muse, she’s a wild child and I need to just come to the understanding I answer to her and not the other way around. Though I think we could ALL use a little dose of something right now, eh?

This hits a bit later into timeline in the verse I’ve created whose masterlist can be found here.

“Come with me,” he whispers in your ear, leaning over the couch to reach while his hands slide your planner and folder off your lap.

“Baby, I’m like knee deep in sorting out these briefs and deadlines,” you sigh, leaning your head back to look up at him. It’s been a bit of rough couple days, couple weeks actually if you’re being honest. You’ve been slammed beyond comprehension at work, you see each other for scant few moments aside from falling into bed together.

“Come with me,” he pleads, dusting your nose with a kiss between each word before circling to the front of the couch. “Don’t make me throw you over my shoulder, because you know I will. I just need a brief moment of your time. You haven’t taken a break all day and it’s Saturday. C’mere baby.”

You look up at him, he’s fully engaging in the pouty face with puppy dog eyes. He knows exactly how to play you. You’re weak and you can’t resist. Especially when he’s looking extra boyfriendy today with his curls a mess, a grey tee under a black knit sweater to which he matched his socks because of course he did, and black jeans.

Your shoulders give way as you slide the rest of the paperwork onto the coffee table and hold out your hands to him. His smile grows as he lifts you off the couch and into a tight hug, his chin leaning against the top of your head.

“I just need you to trust me, ok?” he says. He slides you out of his grasp, snagging a hand of yours into his with his fingers easily threading through yours. He tugs you forward towards the door, making you slide on a pair of flip flops first as he slides on his boots.

“What are you up to Shawn Peter?” you ask as you walk to the elevator.

“Like I said, I just need you to trust me. I promise, we’re not going out out,” he smiles, kissing you softly. Once the elevator arrives, he taps the key card on the sensor then hits the RF button for the roof. It’s a gorgeous day, at least from what you saw out the windows of the condo. You have no idea what he’s got up his sleeve.

When the doors slide open, he tugs your hand to follow him. He pulls you along through the hall past the one workout room towards the door to the outside roof deck. It’s not large by any means, especially since so many of the units in the building have sizable balconies themselves.

“You realize we could have just gone outside off the living room or the bedroom yeah?” you voice as he drags you further outside and more into the sun.

He places a finger over your mouth, a silly grin on his face. His other hand fools about with his phone, then the opening guitar chords of Coldplay’s Yellow chime through his iPhone speakers. He places his phone down on the one support pole before he holds you close again, slipping into a bit of a dance hold.

“Shawn?” you question, a slow rocking start of what you can consider the beginning of a slow dance. He starts singing along into your ear, trying to move you about in the best box step he can muster. He keeps up the steady rhythm, still signing. You give in a little, lean more into him, placing your head onto his shoulder. He pulls you closer, you can easily feel the vibrations coming from his chest as he keeps singing. It’s a comfort you didn’t realize you needed at the moment. Of course, he did.  The song fades and you think you’re done, but it eases into another Coldplay riff, The Scientist this time. You close your eyes and just let go fully. He feels you go lax in his arms finally and shifts you to hold you firmer, bring you in even closer.

“I don’t like seeing you that fucked about,” he fights out shakily through an exhale as the song ends and silence envelops the both of you, his hands come to cup your face. “I hate not being able to help or do anything. I need you to lean on me sweetheart, you and me versus the world, right? Doesn’t matter what I’ve got going on. I’m here for you just as much as you’re here for me. Even if you think it’s stupid or silly. We’re a team.”

It socks you straight in the heart and the gut hearing him, his voice that wobbly. You know you’ve been slightly unbearable, but he’s been nothing but your Shawn through the whole thing. You can’t do anything but sniff as his thumbs brush against the apples of your cheeks.

“‘M sorry,” you utter, wetness starting to build in the corners of your eyes. “I’ve been shutting down or even worse, taking it out or just. I feel bad, bringing all this home and…”

A hiccup breaks through as the tears start to fall, he wraps one arm around your waist to bring you in, the other to the back of your head.

“Let it all out, it’s ok,” he murmurs gently. “I’m here, you’re alright. It’s too much stress to keep bottled up.”

A few minutes later you pull away, sleeves over your hands to wipe at your face. You’re grateful there was no makeup put on today.

“Better?” he asks, pulling your hands away to wipe the rest of the streaks on your face with his own. “You don’t have to be Superwoman. I know that’s all you’ve known, but you’re not alone anymore. Remember that. Me. You. We got this together.”

“How the hell did I get so lucky to find you?” you ponder, bringing his hands to your lips to trace your lips over his knuckles.

“We’re both lucky, pretty girl,” he reminds you, hands sliding to your hips pulling you into him again.

“I can’t believe you willingly decided to dance,” you tease, not wanting to leave the circle of his arms, at least for a little bit longer. The work downstairs in the condo can wait a few more minutes. This time with him cannot.

“Only for you. All my slow dances remember?” he grins, kissing you once more.

What was coming out like for you?

For years I was closeted and i really didn’t want to do it. I go back and forth between whether or not I thought it was unnecessary or I told myself it was unnecessary so I wouldn’t have to do it. It was probably a little bit of both.

I knew for a while that at the very least my mom knew since she was the only one dropping hints. But if she did so did everybody else. After I was like truly accepting of myself, I really did buy into the narrative that i didn’t need to do it. On one hand I felt like everyone in my family already knew so there was no need to inform them, there was no need to bring it up out of nowhere unprompted, and it’s just ridiculous that that’s something anyone has to do. I’m more than my sexuality and straight people don’t have to come out.

Anyway this ended up being a really long post feel free to read all of it, but the main takeaway is that coming out was scary. Even when I knew nothing big was going to come of it, there’s just like this anxiety I had and I think it’s normal. Im lucky to live a life where I can be myself freely without having to be concerned about repercussions. I would say me coming out to my friends/just not hiding who I was from them was a great experience. My cousins were so great. My mom and my sister, I guess I wish that those had gone better which is crazy to me because they had known the longest and had so long to prepare and just didn’t have ideal reactions (far from awful but it was kinda just like uhhh ok?) and then my dads is probably my favorite bc that’s how it should be for everyone. It was ultimately very freeing for me but it was also like very uncomfortable for me.

My coming out happened in 4 phases:

1. College freshman year: i was struggling with my sexuality after I got my first crush and wasn’t sure whether or not people would accept me and eventually I told one friend that I lived with and he never treated me differently, I think I told three other friends that were girls, but overall it was extremely difficult to communicate for me. I would say that this was a time in which I was still closeted.

2. I now work on accepting myself and don’t really talk about it with people unless it comes up for the next three years. I’m now in my fourth year of college and join an org where I’m placed on a committee that’s essentially 60% gay males 40% straight males (and girls). My goal when joining was just to be open and let people get to know me. I was still middle ish of the road and sorta wanted to be perceived as straight. I think people just kind of started to assume I was gay and it was like “oh I don’t have to think about telling anyone anything or acting a certain way. I can just be myself” and I kinda just let loose and as we started hanging out and going to parties together I was able to open up and be myself judgement free and it was just so much fun and that’s when I like TRULY accepted myself and I was like life should be like this all the time. I can’t believe I haven’t been doing this. This was more of like a me coming out to myself than anything else and showing myself how enjoyable life can be when you don’t bottle yourself up.

3. Same year (after my first semester) Even though I was very open with my friends at school, this was my first time home for a ‘long break’ and I wasn’t as open with my family. Me and my two female cousins went out for a day together in the city and then ended up at a bar where they were talking about the kind of guys they were into and my one cousin mentions that she’s into older guys and I didn’t say anything and then our other cousin went to the bathroom and I was like btw I’m gay and I only wanted to preface that bc when u said u were into older guys I was like legit same I know exactly what you mean. My other cousin came back from the bathroom and then we laughed about it, but they were the sweetest and most supportive I could’ve wanted. I don’t think I’d ever felt as close with them as I did in that moment. They asked if anyone else knew and I was like well my friends but that’s it and they said they wouldn’t tell anyone and I thanked them.

A few nights later I met my sister out at a bar for her birthday in the city. I was hanging out with her friends (who I knew just not on a real personal level) because she was dancing and making out with some guy. This is actually kinda funny. It was winter and the bar was hot so I tied my jacket around my waist (as I often do bc that’s just typically part of my look, kinda like a staple of mine tbh) and her friend is like “ryán why are you wearing that around your waist, go put it in the coat check” and I was like no thanks like I really don’t mind having it on my waist, I like the way it looks and I honestly don’t wanna pay and she’s like “you have to check it, any girl who walks in here and sees a guy with a jacket around his waist will not want to get with him” and I looked at her and laughed and was like “lol ok well that’s fine because I’m into guys anyway” and she was taken aback like “OH” and I was like lol r u surprised and she was like well your sister just never told me that and I said well idk why she would, like for one I’m not sure why that would be a topic of discussion between the two of you and for two I haven’t told her anyway. She and my sisters other gay friend practically forced me to tell her the entire night and I was like um ok. And then my sister got mad at me for telling them before her and made it all about herself and I was drunk crying running to the bathroom lol and she followed it up with SO MANY questions and was like you gotta tell mom and dad we talk about it all the time. And I was like 1. No I don’t, if they wanna know they can ask me I don’t care 2. That’s kinda fucked up that you guys talk about me and my sexuality all the time behind my back?? 3. If you just said u all know why do I have to tell you. There isn’t really more to the story there, it was her telling me to and me saying no.

4. It is the 2019th summer. Id thought many times about telling my parents I wanted to go to pride and just like ended up saying nothing. Fact of the matter was that I wasn’t proud and honestly even if I wanted to go I didn’t know who I’d go with. My parents are VERY religious and when I was younger I had heard my mom express worry about a girls mother after the girl had come out as a lesbian l o l. Years go by and my mom got me a pamphlet for the lgbt center mixed in with a bunch of other papers when I moved in my freshman dorm, said a lot of encouraging things to me like telling me “you can date anyone you want” and asking me about my love life (this kind of stuff happened between stages 1 and 2). Nothing was explicitly said but I think we both silently acknowledged it. She even asked about one of my gay friends bc I think she thought we mightve been dating (between stage 3 and 4) which we were not and never have hooked up or anything. Honestly I knew they’d be supportive and I knew they weren’t going to kick me out, I just didn’t know how they’d honestly and truly take it. And by the time that I didn’t give a fuck about how anybody “took” the “news” I was aware that they knew and subscribed to all the beliefs that I listed above. If they wanted to know so desperately they could ask me. At this point I wasn’t even trying to hide it. A guy kinda fucked me over right before school was over and I was talking to her on the phone and she was asking how I was and why I sounded meh and I just told her guys suck without trying to get into it. Anyhow picture this, straight pride has just been confirmed for August 2019. Gays are distressed everywhere. Can we not have one thing??? I share a post to my insta story stating something along the lines of “straight pride isn’t necessary and you should be happy you don’t need it. LGBT people need pride because we still don’t have equal rights and people get killed every day for being a part of this community and people get kicked out of their homes for loving someone, etc.” and I guess my mom saw it and was like that was an interesting post on your instagram and I was like lol ok thanks. (She had thought I didn’t think I was safe in my own home and that’s why I wasn’t coming out) And she’s like is there something you want to tell me? And I say is there something you want me to tell you? And she says only if you want to. And I say “what mom do you want me to tell you I’m gay? Like it’s not a secret. I know you know and everybody else knows.” We went on a walk and she said some highly questionable microaggressions but meant with overall support. At this point though like I already accepted myself so I could just roll my eyes and be like lol whatever you don’t get it.

Then my dad comes back and she calls him to the kitchen and is like I think you should tell him now. And i was like gurl what? This is so out of nowhere and so ridiculous. You’re really going to do this after we just had an hourlong discussion on why I didn’t feel the need to come out. And my dad comes in and is like what’s up and I say hey just so you know I’m gay, ok? And he says ok.

We finished all of Hannibal and of course I have Thoughts but they’re obviously pretty spoilery and I’m too lazy to get my computer out and write a real post with a read more, so suffice it to say

The s2 finale / s3 opener was so committed to pulling the rug out that it forgot that Hannibal does in fact have priorities other than spraying as much blood on his carpet as possible, and the show (and Will???) immediately forgives him for throwing a heartless murder tantrum because awwwww, look, he made bad art out of a dead guy. he’s sowwwyyyy

this show fridged the same character THREE. TIMES. and not even in the funny literal way

I have So Many Thoughts about how they bungled that... but again, spoilers. Let us just say that if I ever wrote a fix it fic, certain someones would be A) not murdered for cheap shock value and B) doing the stabby stabby themselves, because “gutted” as a literal metaphor is exactly the level of beat-you to-death non-subtlety this show truly deserves

Season 3 was definitely more competent and less Halloween Spooky Bin but they just couldn’t resist having that ONE super extra (ARTICULATED?!?) craft project corpse. Did Will post it to his Insta stories or,,,,,,

Everyone is now a Batman villain. E ve r y o ne. Apparently interacting with Hannibal for any length of time will turn you into a ruthless, well-dressed psychopath. It’s transmissible.

Thanks for attempting to give us Hannibal’s boo hoo sad back story I guess? They seem to have given up halfway, explaining fuck all just so they could randomly add Chiyo the inexplicable super-sniper as a flimsy deus-ex-machina and then completely forget about her again? I read the Harris novels approximately ten thousand years ago and I can’t remember if she even exists in the books? God are we in the expanded universe now is that what’s happening

I guess breaking your spine turns you gay and nets you a trippy sex scene with your hot rich future spouse. Conclusion: Will Graham needs his back broke

I have no idea what was going on but I cheered when Chiyo pushed Will off the train. See above.

Hannibal was scarier in this season, like actually kind of legit scary again, even tho they just lifted a bunch of lines verbatim from the Ridley Scott film and used them less effectively while somehow bending the timeline into an AU pretzel but hey, that ice pick scene still got me good. n-ice

Tara from True Blood!!! She was great. Protect her

I really wanted to love Armitage as Dollarhyde but... I didn’t. I can’t tell if it was the direction or just his performance but it just.... didn’t work for me. Still INFINITELY preferred him over the freak of the weeks from s1-2, holy shit. Can’t imagine why.

I cannot BELIEVE someone’s non-con Verger Manor pwp torture porn got put on network television. I cannot BELIEVE real life actual actor Mads Mikkelsen—who has no right to look that put-together while naked, branded, and hog tied—has actually paraded himself around in the viscera of AO3’s ugliest tags for our entertainment like it was a sexy negligee

Gillian Anderson is a GIFT and I love every second she spends in anything. The crush is real, but that still can’t fix that her character made zero sense in s3, at all.

That said, Bedelia and Will sniping over Who Gets To Be Hannibal’s Tortured Love Interest was A+ trash

The whole last episode(s) is worth all the mess. Why couldn’t that have happened earlier. Yes I WILL watch a season 4, I don’t care how sloppy it is. This show is built of ridiculousness, I do NOT care. Netflix, please make it worse somehow. I dare you.

My husband spent most of this experience yelling at Will and Hannibal to kiss whenever they were onscreen.

hi!!! I’m a puertorriqueño/nicaragüense enby looking into resources for learning bruja stuff, any good place you know to start?

I’ve gotten a couple of asks about this lately, and i’m so happy to know there are more latinos finding their way to the practice, tumblr’s brujeria tag often gives the impression that theres so little of us out there reclaiming our practices but getting asks like these brings me a lot of faith that thats not true :) first and foremost:

GETTING INTO BRUJERIA IS HARD.

it really is. baby brujos like us know that better than anyone- getting started, is often the hardest part of doing anything, and its no different with brujeria. it can feel so overwhelming and feeling lost is natural. from my experience, although i am still a newbie ive been able to find a lot of information out there, here are the best places to find info, sorted by priority:

FAMILY! a little self explanatory, but brujeria at its best is truly is an inherited, familial practice. If you can, before delving into internet resources, definitely connect w your family if you’re able to and ask them for guidance and about their experiences!

Your family is always the best resource over anything you can find online; theres so much misinformation out there or information not relevant to your region and if someone in your family already has established practices, always trust them first

 Do some thinking back to all your cultural traditions, quirks, stories, and superstitions that you’ve  learned from your family across time and never thought too much about- and rediscover them under a new light

KEEP IN MIND: brujeria is NOT a singular , concrete practice w concrete rules in itself, the term blankets a lot of traditions across latam, the caribbean, mexico, but imo its always best to stick with brujeria related to your heritage and where your connection is.

this can be hard for people (like me!) with huge family taboos toward brujeria that make it unsafe to ask around about, and/or limitations in family connections (also like me unfortunately). I personally can really only get the tidbits and stories that my family accidentally slips out when I occasionally see them. i try to write them down as much as possible, but the info i can get is limited... and thats where the following comes in.

ONLINE COMMUNITIES. i.e, youtube, tumblr, instagram brujx communities. notice I haven’t said “internet” in general- the reason why i trust community based social media more than random individual websites you find on google is because, in the case of brujeria and honestly any non-european craft, you’re often gonna find a LOT of white people writing blogs, books, etc about their “spiritual experiences” in latam countries and wrongly/incorrectly taking ATR or indigenous traditions (like with smudging). I know, with social media, although those same white people are also on insta and tumblr, it’s a LOT easier to see the face behind the accounts and differentiate who to trust, who’s legit and has real experience to share, rather than a nameless, faceless, website that is actually some colonizer sharing colonized ideas who thinks theyre on a spiritual journey taking traditions all willy nilly. And the fact that in social media, its much easier to find a lot of good brujas at once bc they tend to follow each other lmao.what ive personally done to find information tho is essentially SCOUR tumblrs, insta accs, and watching tons of youtube videos for posts, accounts, videos, etc, and narrowing down good info from there through , namely:

CHECKING WHO YOUR SOURCE IS!!!

ASKING YOURSELF FROM WHAT EXPERIENCE THEYRE SPEAKING FROM

ALWAYS TAKING EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

AND STICKING TO INFO FROM CULTURES OPEN AND RELEVANT TO ME.

again, brujería is different depending on where your family is from in latam, and if you have an established connection to indigenous and/or black roots, so it’s useful to use keywords relating to that when searching (like if ur black, you can look into ATRs(african traditional religions) which tend to mix deeply with brujeria, if ur indigenous, finding other people from your tribe is great, and if youre not pursuing your already learned traditions you can think about connecting to them more deeply(altho indigenous traditions are their own thing, sometimes they do mix with brujeria too), and apart from familial roots, if ur catholic/christian and/or want to explore it, saint work/catholic brujeria might be a good fit for you!)  

tumblr: there are a couple of fantastic brujxs on this site with great blogs and resources who have sadly left the site, but i still go through their posts heavily for spells, rituals, scraps of info! etting started w brujería is hard bc there’s really not that much info out there right now, but i compile as many good brujeria posts i find on my acc.

@brujeria-n-bongs great for catholic brujeria, now at @Upliftherbs on instagram

@brujeria-lost @barberwitch @reina-morada @highbrujita

@naomi121406 is by far the most active and informative tumblr resource ive found, shes an afro-indigenous diaguita curandera from argentina so shes also really helpful if ATRs are in your path!

Im not black myself and dont follow ATRs so i don’t really know many good blogs for afrolatine brujxs out there but if anyone would like to tag some in the replies thatd be awesome!

instagram: Ive found that instagram #brujeria tags has a pretty healthy active stream of posts. You’re gonna have to sift through a lot of them to get to the good stuff though- imo a lot of hispanics use the brujería tag not to mean “latine brujería” but just the spanish word for witchcraft, so a lot of white hispanics will put wicca/neo witchcraft in the tag. imo that’s really not something i’m personally interested in bc it’s not true to brujeria’s traditional nature, is very white/eruropean , and that wicca shit basically just got here. its a relatively a recent thing😭 so i try to stick to bruja accounts that aren’t influenced by that.

youtube: The youtube brujería tag is hit or miss? and again, contains a lot of wicca. But there are some good practitioners on there like The Mexican Witch! You just gonna look around, and dont be afraid to click on videos by really really small youtubers; they often are the ones with the most informative and legit things to say!

Everyone’s path as a bruja/o/x (sjdf trying to be inclusive w gendered language is difficult) is different but here are some topics i think are great to look into as a beginner!

ancestors: start at the bottom and figure out who they are, where theyre from, and set up an altar. it’ll help you a lot with figuring out your identity and path as a bruja later on.

setting up a grimoire

divination: tarot is actually what got me into brujeria at first! tarot isnt strictly traditional and is european in itself but its a wonderful tool for connecting to dieties, saints, etc as well as super fun and helps a lot with introspection

ritual abrecaminos, aka road opening spells!

amarres (love spells... proceed with caution)

limpias, mal de ojo

saint work: even if you’re not catholic (im ex catholic), a growing number of us (especially lgbt latines like @/upliftherbs on instagram) are starting to take back and decolonize our view of saints like La Virgen Maria and removing her from the rigid european/colonized interpretation thats been forced into us

candle spells in general (i fucking love candles tbh, cheap, easy, fun, and WORKS)

spiritual colognes, how to cleanse

finally, here are some helpful posts yall should definitely read and think about moving forward!

about using tumblr as a resource

about looking into brujeria as a part-white part latine

bruja psa + about reclaiming lost indiginety

honestly naomi’s entire brujeria tag is great and super informative for beginners and basically holds answers for almost anything at this point

hope this post helps yall out!

EDIT: oh lord now that this is posted the outline format i tried to use is all kinds of fucked up please dont mind the odd numbering lmfao tumbr hates organized formats

post-BOO short story feat. the seven by rick riordan (via his insta)

Nachos After the War

“Brace yourself,” Leo said. “These babies are dangerous.”

He set the nachos in the middle of the table. The platter was piled high with toasted tortilla chips, melted cheese and jalapeno slices.

The six other demigods leaned in to study their new quest.

“Why are they dangerous?” Frank asked. “Do they explode or something?”

Hazel frowned. “Leo, please tell me you didn’t use Gorgon blood for seasoning.”

“Nah, these are legit nachos. But the jalapenos are from the Demeter cabin’s garden. They grow them, like, superhot. Best I’ve ever had.”

Piper pulled a nacho from the pile. “Vegetarian?”

“Yeah, Beauty Queen. Broke my heart to use refried beans with no lard, but for you, I compromised. Now, for the real challenge . . .”

Leo whipped out a jar of green chili sauce. “Valdez High Octane Fuel. May result in severe burns.”

“Bring it on.” Percy rubbed his hands. “I love spicy.”

Annabeth elbowed him. “After drinking from the Phlegethon, you can still say that?”

“Well, I’m digging in.” Jason said. “Before they get cold.”

“Oh, that won’t happen.” Leo’s hand burst into flames. He seared the top of Nacho Mountain. “There you go. Toasted at your table.”

The demigods started pulling nachos off the pile and passing around the Valdez High Octane Fuel.

It was a nice afternoon at the dining pavilion. Most of the campers were off doing their late summer activities – archery classes, the climbing wall, canoeing around the lake. Over by the stables, Arion was munching on a pile of gold nuggets, fueling up after the trip from Camp Jupiter with Hazel and Frank.

“Is it weird that I miss the Argo II?” Jason wondered.

“Nah.” Percy popped a jalapeno slice in his mouth. “We had some good times on that ship. When we weren’t about to die, that is.”

“That was basically always,” Annabeth said.

Piper sighed, gazing out across Long Island Sound. “Yeah. Good times.”

Hazel threw a diamond at Leo. It bounced off his shirt. “I still can’t believe you let us think you were dead.”

“Okay, first of,” Leo said, “I was dead. Second, I came back as soon as I could. Ogygia is like . . . a long way away. I’m just glad it wasn’t centuries afterwards. And third, I did make nachos. That’s the best peace offering I could think of.”

“You sure you can’t stay?” Jason asked. “I mean, dude, everybody needs you here.”

“I appreciate it,” Leo said. “But Calypso kind of wants to see the world. And I kind of want to show it to her.”

Percy cleared his throat, like the jalapeno had gone down wrong. “So . . . where is she?”

“Festus took her to Manhattan for the afternoon. She figured it would be easier, giving me some time with you guys. Besides, she wants to see the city.”

Frank picked the cheese off his nachos. It was times like this he hated being lactose intolerant. “So where will you go next? Will you come out to visit Camp Jupiter? I know Reyna would like to see you.”

Leo laughed. “Last time I was there I blew up her Forum, but thanks. Maybe one of these days. I don’t know. We don’t have any plans. And I kind of like it that way.”

Percy noticed a dreamy, happy look on Leo’s face, like he’d just had a really good dream, wrapped in warm blankets in a comfortable bed. It made him happy for Valdez, but also a little sad.

“I felt so useless,” Percy said. “I mean . . . the final battles with the giants and Gaea. Anybody else feel like I wasn’t even there?”

“That was the whole point, Seaweed Brain.” Annabeth sipped her lemonade.

“For me to be useless?”

“No, your fatal flaw . . . my mom warned you about it. Kymopoleia warned you. You’ve been hearing about it for years. To save a friend, you’d lose the world. You can’t step back if a friend is in trouble.”

“Yeah. But . . .”

“Man,” Leo said. “I know it was harsh, but I had to pull that stunt – get Gaea off the ground, blow her up, risk my life. If I’d told you about . . .”

Percy sighed. “Okay. I would’ve tried to stop you. Or help you. Or something.”

“And that’s what Gaea would want – to have us crossing wires, messing each other up.” Leo pulled another tortilla chip from the pile. “Your big challenge was stepping back, not being the big hero. Letting me do what I needed to do.”

“Not very heroic,” Percy mumbled.

“Which is the whole point,” Piper agreed.

“It’s my struggle too,” said Annabeth. “My flaw is pride. I’ve been learning about that ever since the Argo II set sail. I think I can solve every problem. But I can’t. I needed Piper’s help. I needed to accept that other people need to act, take the risk, solve the problem when I can’t. Percy . . . we had our share of trouble.”

“Like fricking Tartarus, for instance,” he said.

“Yeah. But the end game – that was all Jason, Piper and Leo. Just the way it started. That’s how it had to finish. Us stepping back, letting it happen as it was meant to . . . that was our last big challenge.”

“Just saying it was kind of a letdown.”

Hazel smiled. “Someday, when they write this story, I bet the readers will say the same thing. The great Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase . . . their last challenge was to not be the ones who solved the challenge. But your struggle is being able to let go. Maybe the people who read your story . . . that will be their struggle, too. There’s always a time when you have to let go.”

Percy had to smile. “Hazel, you’ve come a long way since that day at the Caldecott Tunnel. Look at you now – centurion, sorceress, all-around kicker of butts.”

Hazel rolled her eyes. “Well, you’re still the scariest most powerful demigod I know, Jackson. I’m just saying . . . that’s why it was hard for you to not be the center of the fight. But it had to be that way. It doesn’t mean you won’t have other challenges in the future.”

“Oh, please,” Percy groaned. “Can I get through high school first? I need some R&R.”

“And some time with your girlfriend,” Annabeth added.

“And that.”

“Hey,” Frank said. “Did you see your mom? I remember when we were in Alaska, you were trying to call her.”

“Yeah, I did,” Percy said. “She . . . well, she knew I was okay. I’d sent her some letters via the wind spirits, then an Iris-message after the battle. But when I got home, man, I think she cracked some ribs she hugged me so hard. She’s doing all right, though. I mean, my mom is a tough lady. She’s finished her first novel.”

“Nice,” Jason said. “Uh . . . the novel’s not about you, is it?”

Percy frowned. “She won’t tell me. That kind of has me worried. And this little smile she gave my stepdad Paul . . . I dunno. She said she wants it to be a surprise.”

“Uh-oh,” Piper said. “Well, if she gets published and becomes a bestseller, I can give you some tips about dealing with a famous parent. It’s not all fun and games.”

HI BESTIE ITS ME! I DONT WANNA SPOIL THIS FOR YOU ACCIDENTALLY SO DONT READ ON UNTIL YOUVE WATCHED!

I AM SO UPSET! JEREMY OVER JAVONNY AND WES?? LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? THEY HAD ONE JOB AND THEY FUCKED IT UP! THAT WAS THE ONE GUY WE ALL WANTED TO GO HOME AND THEY MESSED UP SO UNBELIEVABLY BAD! JAVONNY DIDNT EVEN HAVE THE CHANCE TO FIND SOMEONE BC OF OLIVIA STRINGING HIM ALONG FOR 3 WEEKS! GOD HOW COULD THEY DO THAT TO HIM?

AND PICKING OLIVIA OVER AIMEE? REALLY? WHAT WAS THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THAT? AND DID YOU HEAR CASH TELL OLIVIA THE GUYS SAID IT WAS BETWEEN FLORITA AND OLIVIA? LIKE WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING? AIMEE DESERVED TO BE THERE MORE THAN THOSE OTHER TWO! OLIVIA IS SO BLAND AND EVERYTHING WEVE SEEN OF HER MAKES ME SO ANNOYED! I DONT LIKE HER! GET HER OFF THE ISLAND NOW!

Okay I think I’m done with caps now lmao. But dude I am so mad and I will admit I teared up when they were saying goodbye to javonny. He deserved so much better than what he got. And the fact that they played falling right after they were all dumped?? A bitch was crying. And it was sweet that will made Jeremy a sandwich to make him feel better but fuck Jeremy oh my god I hate him so much. Everytime Jeremy or Olivia would talk I would say shut up and maybe that’s petty but come on! Why are they still there? The islanders are not on the same page as the viewers and I hate it so much.

And now I feel like the show is so boring with javonny. I could barely pay attention to tonight’s episode bc I was so mad and all the people who are left don’t have half the personality javonny does. That man was literally carrying the entire show on his shoulders huh.

Everything is just the same shit isn’t it? Cash and Trina and cinco every episode… I am TIRED. Cash is starting to look borderline desperate legit begging cinco to be with her. I feel like we talk about this everyday bc that’s literally all that they show. And honestly the more the show of it the more I don’t like cash. She needs to move tf on and her and Olivia together being painted as girls who are second choice irritates me. Like they keep playing victim but they go for guys who don’t want them! What do you expect? I cannot stand them anymore. God I’m so salty rn. I hate everyone in that villa😂

Okay last thing! There may be a chance for javonny and Aimee! In like the third uk season of love island towards the end they let the public vote for two islanders to return and they included two people who were previously kicked out and they came back! So maybe that’ll happen this season too! They’d be kinda dumb not to bc javonny is a fan favorite and twitter is so mad that Jeremy and Olivia were saved. I guess one good thing that came out of it is that Wes and Aimee made it seem like they were gonna stay together after the villa and I hope to god they work out even if it’s just for a little. They deserved a chance the two hottest people in the villa… my king and queen I miss them :( -E

OKAY FINALLY WATCHED IT BESTIE LETS DISCUSS

I LITERALLY!! CRIED AT JAVONNY LEAVING LIKE HIS LITTLE GOODBYE WITH OLIVIA? "I'm gonna dance with you in the rain one last time" or whatever he said oh my god I was legit in tears. I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY PICKED JEREMY LIKE WHAT? OVER JAVONNY? Luckily everything I've seen on social media about it (because I had the episode spoiled for me when I opened insta rip) is showing that like, everyone is as upset about it as we are. Jeremy needs to go. I AGREE ABOUT OLIVIA LIKE!!! YALL SHOULD HAVE GIVEN AIMEE A CHANCE! Olivia had her chance and BLEW IT FOR THREE WHOLE WEEKS LIKE GET HER OUT OF THERE.

LIKE HOW DID IT COME DOWN TO OLIVIA AND FLORITA?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!??! Olivia is boring and Florita is a whole SNAKE like AIMEE WAS GENUINE AND, LETS BE REAL HERE, SHE WAS THE HOTTEST GIRL IN THE ENTIRE VILLA PERIOD.

Will making Jeremy a sandwich was the cutest shit I've ever seen like when I tell you I am so in love and obsessed with Will lmao he's so cute 🥺. It's so crazy though, like they really are NOT on the same page as we are and like, yes that kind of goes to show how much they manipulate the show but it's also like.... I feel like these islanders love drama. (I agree though. Javonny carried.)

I'm so glad you're saying that because I didn't want to say it but like... I'm getting real tired of miss Cash lmao. "I can't just not go for it because of the love and respect I have for Trina" like why not? Also WHAT love and respect like ???? where? And like, on the one hand it's like "well Trina is getting exactly what she deserves because this is exactly what she did to Cash" but like Cash literally looks desperate the way she like... clings to Cinco (physically and emotionally) like I'm over it. Move on. Cinco is a fool lmao

OH SHIT THAT WOULD BE AMAZING IF THEY COULD COME BACK. I hopeeee they do because they literally deserve it. ALTHOUGH, something I've seen people mentioning is that Javonny needs to go for Cely from season 2, and HOLY SHIT I want nothing more than for that to happen. Like can you imagine? THE POWER THEY WOULD HOLD? THE FUNNIEST COUPLE ALIVE AND YOU KNOOOOW HE WOULD TREAT HER LIKE THE FUCKIN QUEEN SHE IS. I NEED THEM TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
