KinnPorsche The Series (2022) // Man Suang (2023)

[anulithots]

ahhh this subject, this topic, this 'if you don't get married then you aren't an adult and your whole life should revolve around the whole family thing' and talking as if it is a given, this looming doom over my queer head. 

On one hand the documentary is nice because sometimes parents are understanding. Mine aren't, and for some reason they hardly show the not-so-accepting ones when it comes to minorities but alas, there are the surprisingly accepting ones. It's a hit or miss and quite the Russian roulette. 

On the other hand the sentiment of 'you must get married' is there regardless. I don't think I'd be able to explain the way I feel about the whole thing without too many sappy words and metaphors that I'd never be able to say before interjections and overall disdain. AND the threat looms ever nearer. I don't like getting older in a society with expectations. It's not for me. I’m not sure what I will do. At all. I do not see a solution because of two completely warring ideologies. And I’m not sure who to ask because no one I know is both desi and on the aroace spectrum sooo…. I guess I’ll have to figure something out or run away to the woods when I’m older. Not that I can handle isolation. So there’s that too. And I don’t think I’m being over dramatic…sometimes I am but last time I even touched this subject briefly with my parents, it was a whole thing, spirals and not fun for months and months and drastic stuff. So Adult life things? If it’s anything like last year's brush with this then I’ll need to build up some ‘happiness inducing and comfort mechanisms’ ahead of time. 

I don’t know. Sometimes it feels like I’m in the tentative, last ‘safe period’ of my life. From here it’s…. Choices I don’t want to make. Ha. Fun. 

Apologies for the unsolicited rant!

@pharoahkittylover sent me this format and asked about where I think the Batman Rogues would be. I used just some villains, and it was very fun. Thanks, friend.

Damn TFE bee and his cheese knees breaking into my heart.

I’ve got my Lock Screen rotating on several pictures of both of them but this one keeps getting me in the heart. This is the first time I’ve ever had a picture of my partners whole family

yeehaw

To be honest I have no ideas for this one

Just decided “why not draw Sheriff standing outside a party?”

Sheriff would probably join in, but he has work to do

This Villainess wants a Divorce / Survive as the Hero’s Wife

This plot is so cliche I love it. Give me 1000000 more “isekai-ed as the villainess the ML can’t possibly love me” manhwa.

Summary Our girl isekai-ed as the villainess, which means she’s destined to die. Oh no. Gotta save herself by... befriending the ML from childhood... and then get a divorce once the main plot is over. Yes. This is a solid plan. 100%. It’s not like the MC is gonna catch feelings for his kind childhood friend or anything... >.> Oh no, he did. Well I guess we have to defeat the actual villains and make sure our boy ascends to the throne. 

Tropes   - isekai-ed as the villainess    - just throw this whole family away   - what do you mean I’ve drastically changed the plot the original FL and ML definitely still belong together   - ~babies~ who grew up together

FL - Carnelia Easter

- she just wanted to be BFFs with the ML to escape death, plan failed successfully - BFFs with the original FL, you love to see it - smart when it comes to making plans, dumb when it comes to romance

ML - Caeser de Raiman Cline

- for once it’s an actual *Crown Prince* from the start and not some grand duke (from the north) - he’s so handsome but he’s so bad at courting  - I am sorry my dude you fell in love with an extremely oblivious FL - smart when it comes to fighting in war, dumb when it comes to romance

Rating: Yes PLEASE READ THIS Spent ink on certain chapters in Tapas. Will probably be getting the rest of the chapters til the end once my free chapters are done. I love it but not that much compared to some other series. Lol Status (as of 26 Oct 2022) 100% complete, including side stories.

Same Same but Different   - Author of my Own Destiny   - Beware the Villainess!   - Not-Sew-Wicked Stepmom

i read doctor faustus by christopher marlowe in one day. it's been on my to-read list for like six years and i read it in one day.

[ithinkimightbeagoose]

I have gay Converse, a spell jar and a complete and utter lack of a moral compass

but I have a necklace that I haven't taken off for about a month and counting, shitty piano skills, and a maybe delusional friendship with the WIND so I think that counts for something

(*all these links and more now in this rentry page. will no longer be updating this post, instead refer to the rentry page)

Last updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. Wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except eSIMs, PCRF, MAP are by Palestinians. Donating to international orgs is not ideal rn as aid is still being stopped at the border. Please focus on Palestinian-run initiatives on the ground in Gaza.

Remember, small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

Changing my belief system from "this is the hill I'll die on" to "this is the hill I'll kill you on" has done absolute wonders for me 10/10 do recommend

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
