#How To Hack Snapchat

[moonlight-alexia]

Steph "hacks" lil Mac's snapchat. It's a video of steph waking up lil Mac in the middle of the night to "play" UNO.

that uno trend is very funny and i love watching like every single one of them atm

Steph setting up lil mac's phone on the nightstand, angled so the video would be recording the two of them. Steph giving the phone a little smile before going to wake lil mac up, 'Mac...macsy...baby,'

'Huh...you all good babe?' Lil mac squinting, trying to look at Steph still very much half asleep and not able to comprehend much.

'You fell asleep baby,' Steph let out a slight chuckle, nudging lil mac's arm that she was holding the uno cards in, the ones that Steph had placed there beforehand.

'What you talkin' 'bout Stephy?' Lil mac's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, Steph just nodding towards the cards in her hand before showing her own set of cards, 'What?' Sitting up slightly and moving the cards in her hands in front of her, 'What, no I wasn't asleep,'

'It's okay, I know how sleepy you get. I know I didn't just bore you to sleep,' Steph looked away slightly, trying to stop herself from smiling more or laughing and giving away the entire set up.

'I'd never be bored of you,' Lil mac giving Steph a small sleepy smile, 'I was just resting my eyes,'

Steph couldn't help the loud laugh that escaped her lips, shaking her head at her girlfriend, 'Right...just resting your eyes,'

'Exactly! I'd never fall asleep on ya,' Lil mac, a slight sleepy smile still gracing her lips while looking at Steph, 'So we gonna finish the game or what?' Steph just laughing, leaning her head down on lil mac's shoulder, placing a kiss against it.

Hi, I love your blog! And I have some modern Outsiders headcanons to share if you’d like them!

THE OUTSIDERS AS GEN Z

Dally listens to vulgar rap without headphones or with shitty wired earphones at max volume so everyone is forced to hear it anyway. When he’s in the car he blasts it so loud it makes passing children cry.

Two-Bit is an incomprehensible texter (bc he’s always drunk texting) & Darry texts like a dad with stuff like ‘I am outside.’ ‘Ok.’ ‘Yes 🙂’

Steve gets into arguments with people on Twitter every day and only avoids getting cancelled because he’s friends with Soda who’s lowkey internet famous

Pony is an Ao3 and Tumblr fiend. Has a 12-hour a day screentime and is always hiding his screen from the others so they can’t see the fics he’s reading or writing. Darry gave up trying to enforce screentime limits.

I feel like Johnny would be the only one who knows Pony’s Ao3 user (and maybe Soda too) but it doesn’t even matter because neither of them can read for shit so they aren’t gonna be reading Pony’s 100k+ word slowburns

On that note Johnny & Soda have dyslexia and Soda also has ADHD

Dally has a succession of jailbroken stolen iPhones that are always cracked as shit. Sometimes he just doesn’t have a phone for weeks.

Pony has the most pretentious aesthetic Instagram feed imaginable. Photos of sunsets every evening with classic book quotes over them and stuff like that

Darry posts once in a blue moon and otherwise just reposts the 800 cooking and fitness reels he watches

Both Soda and Dally post thirst traps and have Snapchat hoes 😔 despite Dally being permanently cancelled online for being problematic. Soda’s snapscore is diabolical.

Dally also posts himself smoking weed in bed & is banned from pretty much every social media app for saying slurs and harassing people

They’re all constantly hacking each other’s accounts and dming their crushes the craziest things

Two-Bit spams the group chat with stupid memes and keeps getting removed (by Steve, Darry and Pony) and added back in (by Soda and Johnny)

Darry lives in the gym and is all about Mindset and The Grind™️. He probably sends a Good Morning Go Out And Seize The Day message to the groupchat every day at 7am

They all vape (except Darry). Johnny is constantly sent out of class for vaping with a vape hidden up his hoodie sleeve

Steve once ended up in hospital with popcorn lung which incentivised Darry to confiscate all Pony’s vapes. Pony’s crashout was so legendary that everyone is still a bit traumatised.

Dally and Johnny give each other shitty stick-and-poke tattoos

Darry is on Reddit parenting and AITA threads looking for genuine advice

Two-Bit spends all his money on Temu and AliExpress

Johnny never checks his school email account and has 183849 unread emails on there

Dally was kicked out of school years ago & the teachers were very glad to see the back of him. Fights (with other students & with the teachers), bullying, dealing drugs, skipping class, skipping detention, skipping school altogether, bringing illegal things to school, destroying school property, refusing to ever do any work….the list goes on. Worst student ever.

Steve ChatGPT warrior, Pony ChatGPT number 1 opp. Never let them get into arguments about this or everyone will die.

Pony writes out long thoughtful Letterboxd reviews of every movie he watches

Johnny is the snarkiest bitch in the world and gets away with overhearing everyone’s gossip because he’s quiet and flies under the radar. He probably runs the school confessions insta account and exposes everyone’s secrets.

Johnny and Pony once gave Darry’s laptop a virus trying to pirate movies

Soda and Dally are Horse Girls

Everyone has gay allegations. The extent to which each of them fight said allegations differs massively.

JQKWJKWEJWJWB HELP I LOVE ALL OF THESE😭😭😭

Darry texting like a dad is so real😭 “I am outside” ptsd from how my own dad texts LMAO

I also firmly believe Pony would be a full on ao3 user and most definitely tumblr lol. He’d write irl fics with him and Paul Newman lol

Love how Dally is a menace in both canon and modern universes lol

Two-Bit spamming the gc pls😭

And Johnny never checking his email that’s me fr fr 😭😭

Chinese tiktok spy x reader?? Pt.1

| masterlist

_______________________________________

It was supposed to be a quiet night. You were curled up on your bed, scrolling aimlessly through TikTok, the sound of repetitive trends and oddly satisfying videos filling the room. Just as you landed on a bizarre clip of someone deep-cleaning their bathroom grout, your phone froze.

“Not now,” you muttered, tapping the screen.

The screen went black. Then, a loading symbol appeared, spinning ominously.

Before you could reboot it, a stranger’s face appeared on your phone.

Sharp jawline. Piercing eyes. The kind of lips that made you forget how to form coherent thoughts. He leaned forward, looking like he’d stepped out of an anime villain audition.

"Hello, [Your Name]."

You blinked. "Okay, first of all, how do you know my name? Second, who are you, and why do you look like you’re about to sell me cryptocurrency?”

He arched an elegant eyebrow. “Your humor won’t save you. I’ve been watching you.”

“Great. Love a good stalker moment. Do I call you ‘hacker bro’ or ‘random internet creep?’”

His smirk deepened, and his voice dropped into something smooth and low. “You’re bold for someone whose entire digital footprint is in my hands.”

You snorted. “And you’re bold for thinking I care. What are you gonna do? Leak my terrible Spotify playlists? Share my late-night Google searches about how to get ketchup stains out of jeans?”

He faltered, just a little. “Do you even understand the gravity of this situation? I’ve hacked into your data—TikTok, Instagram, emails, even your webcam.”

“Ooooh,” you said, mock-shivering. “Scary. Look, I’m Gen Z. I grew up being tracked. Instagram, Google, my fridge- I've already made peace with the fact that privacy is a myth, and if China wants my data, they can have it. Hell, I’ll mail my DNA to the Chinese Communist Party if they ask nicely.”

His expression faltered. "But I could leak your data. Embarrassing photos, your messages, even your-"

"Leak it!" you interrupted with a grin. "Post it on Reddit! I'll even help it go viral."

-“You’re insane.”

“Insanely unimpressed,” you shot back. “What’s your endgame here, Hacker Hottie? You gonna steal my identity and live as me? Good luck paying off my student loans.”

He pinched the bridge of his nose, muttering something in Mandarin. You caught the words for “impossible” and “crazy.”

“Listen,” he said, his voice sharper now. “I could ruin you. Delete everything. Expose your private life. Shut down your accounts.”

"Uh huh, soo," you said, resting your chin on your hand. "Forget the data stuff. What's your skincare routine? Are you single? Do you want my Snapchat?"

"This isn't how this is supposed to go," he muttered, still pinching the bridge of his nose. "You're supposed to be begging me not to destroy your life."

You gasped dramatically. "Oh nooo," you said, deadpan. "Please don't tell the world I spent three hours watching slime videos last night. However will I recover?"

“Unbelievable,” he muttered. “You’re completely unhinged.”

“Unhinged? Nah, I’m just resourceful,” you replied. “By the way, this whole villain monologue thing? Super hot. Ten out of ten.”

He gaped at you, visibly thrown off his rhythm. “You’re flirting with me while I threaten to destroy your digital life?”

“Yep. And if you’re done threatening me, how about you give me your number? Or your WeChat ID? Whichever’s easier for you.”

His expression shifted from incredulous to… disgust? Horror? “You’re… not right in the mind.”

“Thanks, I get that a lot,” you said. “So, what’s it gonna be, Hacker Hottie? You gonna follow through on your threats, or are we skipping to the part where you admit you’re obsessed with me?”

“Obsessed? Hardly,” he scoffed. “I just… find you peculiar.”

“Peculiar is code for ‘intriguing,’ which is code for ‘totally into me,’” you said with a wink.

He rolled his eyes but didn’t disconnect. Instead, he leaned closer to the screen, his face filling your view. “You’re lucky I’m in a good mood tonight. Otherwise—”

“Oh no,” you interrupted, gasping dramatically. “Not my terrible selfies and bookmarked thirst traps!?”

He groaned audibly. “You’re impossible.”

“And you’re still here,” you pointed out. “What does that say about you?”

For a moment, the connection flickered, and you thought he might finally leave. But then, his voice came through, softer this time.

“You’re reckless. You don’t even know me, and yet you’re… comfortable.”

“Should I be uncomfortable?” you asked.

“You should be terrified.”

“Well, I’m not,” you said. “You’re hot, and this is the most excitement I’ve had all week. So, what’s next?”

There was a long pause before he finally spoke. “Goodbye, [Your Name].”

And just like that, he was gone. Your phone rebooted, the TikTok app still open on the same grout-cleaning video you’d been watching earlier.

You stared at it, a bemused smile on your face. “Well,” you muttered to yourself, “if that’s what being spied on feels like, maybe I need to post more thirst traps.”

Call me crazy but i wrote what i wrote (part two is out :) )

[frenzyarts]

Jane Crocker was made to be ooc and evil in HS2... or WAS SHE?!?!?!? 🧐🧐🧐

Here is my Homestuck Theory:

From a young age Jane was involved with Crockercorp. She even used the UNREAL HEIRESS THOUGHTWAVE TIARATOP, which was basically force-feeding her propaganda, literally straight into her brain. Even her vision becomes covered with propaganda and ads.

Much later, we see Jane reminiscing on her old room. She sees the tiaratop and admits that "it was doing funny things" to her head.

Despite that, she decides to put it on again, and it controls her brainwaves louder than ever, causing her to rip it off.

And it stays off until grimbark jade poofs it onto her head again, and the Condesce takes over.

ARQUIUSPRITE explains to Dirk how the tiaratop has made her a vessel for an evil AI, and even seems to enjoy that fact about her.

However, he's the one who removes it from her. I didn't capture it in my screenshots, but right as he removes it the screen flashes with DISOBEY.

But what if... What if he was still rooting for an AI Jane? What if he didn't fully de-program the tiaratop? The next time we see Jane wearing the tiaratop is in the HS snapchats. She has it as a necklace. But her crocker technology is hacked by the Felt and she's kidnapped. She remarks that "all our technology was scrubbed clean," but clearly it wasn't. Perhaps her tiaratop necklace wasn't either!

Then *evil music* the epilogues happen. In Candy, we see her follow the path to the evil CEO she is in HS2. In the beginning of Candy, we can see her character begin to change. She says she feels like "nothing I do matters." Which I believe is in reference to the fact that the epilogues are "semi-canon" and therefore don't matter, which is what drove Dirk to become Ult Dirk in an attempt to make things matter again.

But he becomes Ult Dirk in Meat. As we know, he's deceased in Candy, because "nothing matters" there. And immediately after the "nothing matters we're in Candy" revelation, this exchange happens:

Notice how right after this revelation, she starts hitting on Jake again, and suddenly wants a bunch of babies? Jake even remarks that she's never wanted this before. In fact, the only time she wanted this was when she was UNDER THE MIND CONTROL OF THE TIARATOP...

WHICH SHE IS CLEARLY WEARING ALL THROUGHOUT HS2!!!! She put that shit back on in the snapchats and never took it off and it turned her evil!! The tiaratop is imbued with the essence of the Condesce the same way lil cal is imbued with the essence of lord english which is a HUGE part of what caused the version of Dirk that was Dave's Bro to become evil.

That's why she seems ooc... because she IS! It's the ghost of the Condesce, still controlling her! Which makes me wonder, once she takes it off, will the Jane we know and love return? Or is she too far gone?

Anyways, that's my theory and defense of Jane. I would love love love to hear other's thoughts on this :D even if you disagree with my theory, I still want to know, because I love reading analysis ^u^

This week, WIRED launched our Rogues issue—which included going a bit rough ourselves. WIRED senior correspondent Andy Greenberg flew to Louisiana to see how easy it would be to recreate the 3D-printed gun authorities say they found on Luigi Mangione when they arrested him for the murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO. The result? It was both easy and legal.

On Wednesday, US, European, and Japanese authorities announced the disruption of one of the world's most widely used infostealer malware. Known as Lumma, the malware was used to steal sensitive information from victims around the world, including passwords, banking information, and cryptocurrency wallets details, according to authorities. Microsoft's Digital Crime Unit aided in the operation, taking down some 2,300 URLs that served as the Lumma infrastructure.

A mysterious database containing more than 184 million records was taken down this week following its discovery by security researcher Jeremiah Fowler. The database contained 47 GB of data, which included information related to Amazon, Apple, Discord, Facebook, Google, Instagram, Microsoft, Netflix, Nintendo, PayPal, Snapchat, Spotify, Twitter, WordPress, Yahoo, and more.

In other news, the US charged 16 Russian nationals for allegedly operating the DanaBot malware, which authorities say was used in a wide variety of attacks, from ransomware to espionage. And a recent webinar revealed how a major venture capitalist helped get Starlink satellite internet activated for Israel following the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas.

But that's not all. Each week, we round up the security and privacy news we didn't cover in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.

The US intelligence community is looking to create a marketplace where private information gathered by data brokers under the guise of marketing can be purchased by American spies, The Intercept reports. Contracting data shows the US spy agencies intend to create a “Intelligence Community Data Consortium” that uses AI tools to sift through people’s personal data; information that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has previously acknowledged “could facilitate blackmail, stalking, harassment, and public shaming.” In addition to providing insight into Americans’ behaviors and religious and political beliefs, commercial data frequently includes precise location information, offering the US government the ability to surveil people’s movements without acquiring a warrant—exploiting a widely recognized loophole in US privacy law.

Federal lawmakers attempted to ban the US government from buying what it calls “commercially accessible information” last year, with the Republican-controlled House passing a version of a law known as the “Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act.” However, the US Senate, then controlled by the Democratic Party, rejected the legislation.

Reporting by WIRED has repeatedly demonstrated how such data can offer US adversaries the ability to monitor the movements of US military and intelligence personnel, including in and around sensitive facilities that house nuclear arms.

A Mysterious Hacking Group Is Revealed to Work for the Spanish Government

Back in 2014, Russian security firm Kaspersky announced it had discovered a sophisticated hacking group it called Careto, Spanish for “Ugly Face” or “Mask,” that had targeted victims across Europe and Cuba. Now, more than a decade later, former employees of the company have finally confirmed what Kaspersky wouldn’t spell out at the time: That they believe Careto was a rare sighting of hackers working on behalf of the Spanish government. Careto’s targets included energy companies, research institutions, and activists, but it particularly focused on Cuba, likely due to the island nation’s giving refuge to members of a Spanish separatist group designated as terrorists by several European countries. Kaspersky’s researchers found a Spanish phrase in the hackers’ malware code that translates to “I shit in the sea,” an expletive phrase typically used by Spaniards but not other Spanish speakers. Given the sophistication of Careto’s hacking, the public confirmation of Kaspersky’s attribution to Spain adds another known player to the game of high-level state-sponsored hacking.

Signal Introduces New Feature to Block Screenshots by Microsoft Recall

Microsoft’s Recall feature, which constantly takes and archives screenshots of Windows users’ activity, still represents a serious privacy problem—even after Microsoft significantly walked back its rollout in response to criticism. So the encrypted messaging app Signal has gone so far as to exploit a digital rights management feature of Windows typically used to protect copyrighted materials to block Recall from taking screenshots of the app by default on Windows machines. After all, the Recall feature—which will likely be required for some corporate or government users—will essentially remove any privacy promise from Signal’s disappearing messages feature for both Recall users and anyone communicating with them. The screenshot-prevention feature can be turned off in Signal’s settings, but it will be turned on by default in Windows. “Microsoft has simply given us no other option,” Signal wrote in a blog post.

Russia’s Fancy Bear Hackers Targeted Security Cameras to Spy on Ukraine Aid

The hacker group within Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency known as APT28 or Fancy Bear first rose to infamy for its targeting of the 2016 US election, but it’s no surprise that the group has more recently focused on Ukraine. According to a new assessment from no fewer than 11 countries’ intelligence agencies, the hacker group has been targeting a broad array of technology and logistics firms involved in providing aid to Ukraine. “Dozens of entities, including government organizations and private/commercial entities across virtually all transportation modes: air, sea, and rail” have been targeted in the campaign, the advisory reads. Perhaps most notable about the agencies’ accusations is that the hackers targeted 10,000 security cameras in countries bordering Ukraine, including at border crossings, military facilities, and train stations. According to the agencies, the GRU hackers also carried out reconnaissance of the network of at least one producer of industrial control system components for railway systems—suggesting a possible intention to attempt sabotage—but didn’t actually succeed in breaching the company.

US Indicts Russian National Over Qakbot Malware

The US Department of Justice on Thursday indicted a Russian national, Rustam Gallyamov, on allegations that he designed software that was widely used by ransomware gangs and is known to have infected hundreds of thousands of computers, netting the gangs roughly $8.6 million in profit, according to DOJ figures. Prosecutors say more than $24 million was seized from Gallyamov, 48, over the course of its investigation. Federal charges unsealed this week allege that Gallyamov himself gained access to victims’ computers and provided it to an array of cybercriminal organizations, including Dopplepaymer, REvil, Black Basta, and Cactus, among others.

The investigation into the now disrupted malware, known as Qakbot, was announced in August 2023 under former US attorney general Merrick Garland, who credited a multinational operation that included Europol and prosecutors and law enforcement agencies in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Latvia, and the United Kingdom. Agencies of Canada and Denmark have also been credited in the investigation that targeted Gallyamov.

Blog Post #9

How can online communities directed specifically towards women of color be supportive and create a safe space?

Online communities allow people to come together to share knowledge as well as support with others. It creates a bond between people that helps them to feel more welcome and comforted when the world seems like it’s shutting people out. Online communities that are specifically geared towards women of color are very important because they allow these women a place to feel accepted and heard when they may not get that sense from their everyday lives. 

2. Why should online communities prioritize purpose over profit?

Online communities should prioritize purpose over profit because people always start things for a reason. There’s always some sort of purpose or drive behind what we do, and when we start to attach money to these things, they become less valuable in a sense. So if we look at the purpose of an online community and why it was created, we want to make sure it’s genuine and isn’t just looking to get profits or money from the situation, but to get life experience and bring change. 

3. Why is trolling such a big issue in today’s online spaces?

Trolling seems like it used to be a fun, joking concept and wasn’t really taken seriously. However, when we look at it in the bigger scheme of things, we can see that trolling can be very harmful to both individuals and larger communities. Trolling has the power to make people feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, self-conscious, nervous…you name it. It’s not just a joke like some people may think it is; it can do real damage. 

4. How can surveillance impact people’s lives?

Surveillance seems like it would be a good thing and make people feel safe and protected. But when you’re being surveilled 24/7 and have no privacy, it’s a whole different ball game. In the documentary we watched in class, they talked about how surveillance has disrupted many people’s lives and how it doesn’t just impact one person, but everyone around that person. There was one family towards the end of the documentary that said they were being surveilled because one person wasn’t able to be hacked. This has been true in many cases. If they can’t get access to one person’s information, there’s a large chance that they can go after people close to that person to dig into people’s lives. 

5. Does anyone have privacy in our society today?

In the larger scheme of things, no one really has privacy anymore. Most people carry their phones or electronic devices with them on a daily basis, which allows them to be tracked at each location they visit. Also, when we post things online, like posts or comments, comment on someone’s post, etc. we are giving up our privacy and allowing people to see what we’re doing or what we think. People can also screenshot anything at any moment in time, and that picture will be out there in “the cloud” forever. Oftentimes, people think that on apps like Snapchat, things are deleted immediately or they will be erased as soon as they unsend a text, but in reality, that text or that picture never really goes away. It’s all stored in a server or “the cloud” and can be brought back at any moment, especially if it’s been screenshotted by another person who may or may not have bad intentions.

people seem to forget that all social media apps spy on you, it’s not just tiktok “I’m not getting tiktok because it’s chinese spyware”, all social media apps spy on you and stalk you and steal/sell your information/data, it’s not just tiktok, like you might as well just delete every social media if you’re so scared about your data being taken and sold, plus if tiktok gets banned because of it being chinese spyware, might as well ban instagram, twitter, discord, bluesky, snapchat, reddit etc because they all do the same

I think the difference was that Tiktok was made by a Chinese company first. Other social media sites like Tom from Myspace and Mark Zuckerberg for Facebook, are all based in America. Some of the social media sites and apps as well, were banned in China originally until the companies that own them, made deals and changes for their site/app to be allowed in China. Every corporate wants to make dem Chink Bux. I also think some websites have measures to not let too much personal data get leaked unless we have situations like hacking. We are more ready to jump on the American-based one because it would violate everyone's Rights. But a website/app created in a different country that has different laws, are messy. It's not the case of the site/app having divisions that run that certain country or language based group that may act independently under the main branch. Like how Google in America is separate from Google Japan.

Hi Chaos! MASSIVE FAN of your work!

A little headcannon/short story idea (If you find it suitable and to your liking, of course <3)

We keep on hearing of how y/n interacts on social media- but what about the Joker? Does he have a secret account for fun, does he stay away from it or is there a third alternative?

Bonus! (In honor of Spotify wrapped coming out): What type of music genre do you think the Joker enjoys listening to?

Hey hi anon!!! 🖤✨

wow, haven't had one of these in a hot minute. I miss answering anon... 🥺🥺ANYHOO!!!

THANK YOU FOR BEING A MASSIVE FAN! I LOVES YOU MUCH! *opens up my docs so I can work hard to make content for mi sweet loving anon*

Let's get into it! Straight to the point because I can go into heavy detail AND I WILL. I WILL GO INTO HEAVY DETAIL! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

First and foremost, Joker isn't addicted to modern technology like we are as a culture, this man is soooo old fashion it makes your eyes roll.

He doesn't see the appeal of TikTok or apps like Snapchat even if the filters make him all sparkly and look cool.

Joker will take silly selfies with you if you beg him to and he lets you save some on your phone however; if he sees them anywhere else-- say goodbye to fun selfies forever!

He can't have any evidence of his real face floating around. Phones can be hacked! So you suggest Polaroids and Joker breathes a sigh of relief.

Get it? Polaroid? Just like in the infamous photo Joker snapped in the chapter Push and Pull! 🤭

If Joker uses any social media platforms, it’s in an anonymous fashion.

Joker is on Twitch because he's secretly a gamer but he doesn't use a cam. He loves stalking your personal blog and he's always going down a rabbit hole on YouTube.

You won't find him anywhere that requires a legal profile. Anything that can be traced back to him and most importantly you is a no go. He won't risk you being used as blackmail or worse.

He'll check your Patreon from time to time if you're a digital artist or something of the sort but other than that, his phone is used primary for communication with you.

Joker would rather leave behind sticky notes or his signature playing cards than send a text. He scatters the apartment with little love notes; it’s so corny but sweet.

Now on the other hand if you need assistance whether it be for a skit, making a reel, etc., best believe Joker will hold your camera for you, he'll help you edit videos, he’ll even direct the content so its the best on the internet!

He'll be so supportive if you're a content creator. Scratch that. Joker is supportive in everything you do!

Granted he doesn't understands a lick of social media or its lingo, he will go above and beyond to make sure your content is phenomenal.

Need a nice shot of the Gotham Bridge or a background of somewhere cool? Its mysteriously empty for your use...

Need good lighting for a quick reel? Joker is setting off explosions in the background. Fire is really good natural lighting... far better than a ring light. 👀

Whatever you need, say the word and its yours. Joker will get anything for his Light.

THAT BEING SAID! BONUS ASK ITS A TWO FOR ONE DEAL!

I think I answered a similar ask like this but I'll do it again because I love to answer questions!! (I have a confession to make. I do not have a Spotify... so I can't do the viral wrapped thingy but I'm aware of it!)

I fully support Joker being older than you (teehee we stan mature older men around these parts!!)

That being said.. Joker grew up with good music like back when music meant something—not just mindless noise to add onto a video for likes.

He has an ear for jazz, crooner, classic R&B, and the occasional rock, heavy metal stuff if it has relatable lyrics (it channels his inner psycho don't judge him)

He cannot stand pop music or anything that's featured on the top 100's or played on repeat in a department store. He will stab someone over it. No questions asked.

If his Bunny is singing/dancing along to it he might make an exception because your voice is so soothing to him, it puts a different spin to the song. There's still a fifty fifty change he's tuning it out.

But he strongly believes all boy bands should be executed, no exceptions. That's where he draws the line.

Totally forgot I made a oneshot about Joker and music too!

Slippery When Wet lol...

Hope that answered your ask beloved! 🖤✨

Little Sister Freeman – Bad Boyfriend Edition (Headcanons)

Pairing: Huey Freeman x little sister!reader x Riley Freeman. Robert Freeman x Granddaughter!reader. Uncle Rukus for some reason?

Trigger warnings: mention of toxic boyfriend, love bombing, talking down.

Request.

Huey Freeman:

Silent but deadly. He clocks the red flags immediately — disrespect, manipulation, laziness — and starts researching this dude’s whole life. Public records? Social media? School grades? Huey knows it all.

• Observes first. Acts second. The moment your boyfriend shows even a hint of toxicity (interrupting you, talking down to you, love bombing), Huey’s eyes narrow. Calculations begin.

• Huey won’t yell or act out. But he will silently destroy the boy’s credibility with facts, evidence, and vibes. If needed? He’ll hit him with a line like:

“You don’t love her. You just want control.”

• Protective in a lowkey way. Will walk you home quietly. Will keep receipts.

That night, the boyfriend’s bike mysteriously disappears. And his Snapchat gets hacked. No one can prove Huey did it, but… he did.

Riley Freeman:

• At first? He thinks a bad boy is kinda cool. “Aye, lil’ sis got taste, OKAY.”

• Then he sees how the guy treats you — maybe raises his voice, checks your phone, disrespects your interests — and Riley flips.

• “Nah, you ain’t gon’ talk to my baby sis like that, bruh.”

He posts a video publicly roasting the boyfriend and tags him. Bonus: he gets the whole block to hate him too.

• Might also lowkey threaten him with one of Granddad’s kitchen knives while grinning.

• Once Riley sees you getting mistreated, he goes full big brother mode. Loud, impulsive, and loyal. Ready to fight, call the group chat, AND ruin the boyfriend’s reputation in one night.

• Threatens to post old screenshots even though he doesn’t have any.

Granddad (Robert Freeman):

• Tries to be cool about it: “She’s growing up, Robert. Be mature.”

Then the boy shows up wearing Crocs and calls him “OG.”

• That’s it. No more Mr. Nice Granddad.

• Tries to ban you from dating, then gives you a dramatic talk about love and heartbreak, even though he got ghosted last week by his own Tinder date.

• “You in MY house? With that attitude? Wearing those damn shoes?? BOY IF YOU DON’T—”

• He will kick the guy out mid-dinner with a napkin still tucked in his collar. Not a shred of guilt.

• Will say “I told you so” even when no one asked.

Uncle Ruckus:

• Hates the boyfriend for reasons that don’t even make sense.

“He don’t even wash his elbows. I can smell the disrespect.”

• May try to exorcise him with a dirty Bible and old country music.

• Accidentally helpful, just by being loud and terrifying.

⸻

💔 If the Relationship Ends Badly.

• Huey checks on you quietly. Offers tea, space, or a movie where the girl gets revenge.

• Riley throws a “he was mid anyway” party.

• Granddad uses it as a reason to lecture about the “good old days” and why you should date someone “with a job and a haircut.”

• Even Jazmine might text you like: “Girl… I never liked him fr.”

The Big Internet Scare... (Blog Post #1- Week 2)

A time when technology did not live up to its hype was during 8th grade, in which the uprising of the video of a person named "Momo" was trending. In addition to videos, there were also images of the person spreading across the internet; Momo was a woman with the body of a chicken, long hair, and a scary face with big eyes. I first heard of Momo from my friends during P.E. (physical education), in which they showed me videos of people getting hacked and the content of Momo was stuck on their screens. Although I was fortunate enough to never get hacked or see the videos after that, I still continued to hear stories and it caused me a lot of paranoia since I was not sure if it would occur on my screens. For example, I had a conversation with my mother about what was happening online, and she shared how one of her friend's sons recently came across that video randomly on his tablet. The whole event made me feel skeptical of using the internet as it can be limitless and anything can happen at any time. I remember that the paranoia was so severe that it cost me many sleepless nights, and even having to have some form of nightlight in my room because, without it, I believed that Momo would come to get me. Although the trend has since died down and I have grown older, I still have the fear that something terrible will pop up on my screen, so I try my best to be careful on what platforms I am on and what I am looking at. My parents have always taught me to be careful on the internet, and having recently gotten on social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, I was pushed even more to be cautious. If I could go back in time, I would try to tell my younger self to avoid the internet as much as possible during that time so that I would not have to face the major paranoia that came with it; it was not the best way to be introduced to social media.
