Im so terrified. I dont want to get hurt. Its not even been a month and i am so fucking obsessed and invested and i definitely want to be, i know what i feel and do want but its like damn I got hurt so fucking devastatingly bad this year that literally killed me, the levels of despair i cannot feel again, i am not strong enough for that, i barely have made it back to reality and its like as soon as i get the hang of things, things get crazy again and its like everything is exactly how ive always wanted them to be right now and i couldn't be more happy cause i truly know what i feel and when things are at its best, god its so fucking perfect but i feel im not able to talk to anyone yet or be more open about stuff cause i feel like a secret, like ill get casted out again..like i worry i am getting kept in the dark so i dont see or experience something bad, like for example they dont have me on their social media at all and i feel weird and scared about asking or getting on there and getting triggered by something and that maybe im just being used for validation and as a rebound because im so forgiving and easy to talk to or something.. in return its causing me to not know what's really happening, am i what they want? Are they talking to anyone else? Do they think so highly of me like i do them? Do they recognize the way we move together and talk to eachother? Is it as meaningful to them as it is me? Its like i know would lie about where they were or what they wang and their true intentions before, so why wouldn't they lie again? But at the same time thats not fair, cause its like i coukd very well be accused of being shitty too and still actually not be doing anything shitty and its like man..i feel like ive been living a honest and decent life, i maybe do keep to myself a bit much but i just enjoy my company and also not feeling like i have to explain myself caused ik people often times feel they have a say in things when they do not..i dont think bad things are happening behind my back the last two weeks or so and things have been magical and passionate and full of conversations, synchronized behavior, mutual understanding, growth, literally alway being able to meet in the middle on something, the dynamics i adore, we are so different but so much alike and I love it with all my being and im continuesly betting on the good things but that first week and a half idk..things seemed really off at certain moments that maybe hinted at things but again i can get very paranoid and of course cant control someone's actiona..I just dont want to throw awayy boundaries in attempts to please and i feel ive done that already in a lot of ways but by simultaneously finding such new perspectives and found love that was always there just stuck and idk i guess the feeling of trust has become so hard this year. Ever since January and in between i felt very used and thown away and lied to because i was to a degree i guess and even if ive done wrong in the past and yeah did i royally do some stupid fucking idiot type shit but ik it doesn't justify getting hurt back and i had to really come to terms with that. I had let go of that crazy person in me that would stay up two days straight crying and obsessing over what was and what is and whats happening without me, while drunk or high out of my mind constantly and go through the loneliness, the guilt, the shame, the loss all on my own in a small room with literally no one to talk to and forcing myself to come as close to dying as possible and finally move on from everything aweful in my life ever and do my best to block out every single god aweful image or notion in my head that i would get, causing insecurities and paranoia that i didn't know i was capable of...im really trying to make sense of everything cause everything is so fucking touchy right now but still having to push through and communicate and understand and love with all of my heart and vice versa I think wins every time and i feel life has been showing me that

"sun and i are enemy" *proceed to get back into the house*
Tumblr media
summary : them w a s/o who hate sun or cant go out when it was sunny because it'll make them sick
pairing : ran, baji, chifuyu, suna, kenma x reader ( separately )
warning : none
a/n : pretty much self indulgence since i always get sick when im playing under the sun for too long || I'll put keep reading thingy later after class
Tumblr media
# RAN
he would understand you, for some reason i see him as the type who hate sun himself not because he would get sick but because he can't stand the heat and sweat
he would make sure one of you—usually him—have an umbrella and when the sun start shining brightly either of you just poof an umbrella
sometimes the both of you would play under the sun for a while yk running away from each others playing tags bla bla bla
but Ran would make sure you both did not play for a long time maybe after 30 minutes playing you both would cool down he would make sure you're okay and did not show any sign you're getting sick
but if you did get sick he would take care of you like a good boyfriend he is <33
# BAJI
mf wouldn't understand you at first like lets say its beach day w Toman *cheers* and they were allowed to bring their s/o *cheers#2* so Baji ofc would bring you along
so when you arrived you felt like you're in hell with the sun shining brightly people around making it more hotter you already feel lightheaded and then you being you took most of the things in Baji's hand ( mostly were umbrella, towel and bla bla bla equipment ) and set it up by yourself
after you were done you sat under the umbrella with sunglasses on in your left hand were a fan you brought.
Baji would look at you weirdly before shrugging it off
then when they were playing games like volleyball, playing tags you were under the big umbrella all the time and when they ask if you wanted to join you would politely decline
and then Baji in return would ask you to cheer for him which you did ofc nonchalantly like "go baji!" just like that
and when he drag you, ofc you play for a while then sneakily slip away from them back to your own paradise
then when you go home the next day you got sick and did not inform Baji make him a little concern and go to your house
and then you explain to him bla bla bla and then he take care of you and start planning indoor date w you for future purpose ofc
# CHIFUYU
if im being honest he actually noticed it before you were even dating—not in creepy yandere way ofc he usually spent his time observing you when you were around and lets say everytime you were hanging out w Toman or your friend
he would notice how you stay by yourself everytime everyone was playing under the sun
so he figure out you might not like sun or have something like getting sick, he would ask you once you get into a relationship, like a smooth person he is he would bring it up one moment when you're just chilling out under the AC then you would answer him then boom he was right
anyways he would plan a lot of indoor date just for you like cat cafe, study date ( even though you ended up didnt study at all ) and more ( idk anything about date )
anyways like Ran he would bring an umbrella just for you yk just in case it get too sunny he dont want his precious partner to get sick
when you feel like playing under the sun he would make sure you dont play around for too long and would check up on your just in case you were about to get sick
# SUNA
he suprisingly like being under the sun but hate when he get sweaty— even though he always get sweaty when he was playing volleyball but that was another story
i think he just think you dont like sun because who wouldn't but he didn't know you would actually get sick
so when he find out you would get sick ( it was during Inarizaki Sports Day when he find out you pass out from being under the sun for too long since your teacher forced you to join others— this definitely did not happen before ) he would take care of you ofc but he would tease you :D but also make sure he got all of your needs
then starting form there you two would have cafe date or movie date in either of your house, or maybe spending time cuddling and playing games ( if you play game )
# KENMA
he was okay being under the sun, but he prefer to avoid it since he also cant stand the heat
so when he find out you too dont like sun he was overjoyed that he doesn't have to spend much time outside, the both of you would spend time, watching movie or series, playing games together ( usually minecraft, mario cart or animal crossing but if you did play game like pubg, cod or bla bla bla you two would play against each other most of the time Kenma win but you did win maybe 2 out of 10 or 5 out of 10 games depending on your skills )
he doesn't have problem when you feels like playing outside he would accompany you playing around but it'll wont last long before you drag him inside or he drag you inside not wanting you to get sick
oh and if you dont feels like playing game he would have you on his lap or vice versa and watch him playing games, if you like to comment about his skills or whatever expect him showing his snack into your mouth when he was done listening to you roasting him

bully anon 🚶. are u reading my mind? 👁️👄👁️ im literally writing a yandere!bully! bakugo x reader thing where he shares his darling w his crazy classmates 💅 also bakumomo 🤤
bnha: katsuki bakugou x fem!reader x momo yaoyorozu
warnings:  humiliation, degradation, noncon touching, bj. bakugo n momo be meanies :'), fem reader
momo has a kick for seeing u suffer, she just loves when ur eyes get glossy & a  sacred, hopeless expression masks ur face. she gets such a power trip from it that even the slightest bit of guiltiness she feels from bullying u disappears.
but she knows she cant make u cry the way she wants u too. u r not that scared of her. too u, she is just another rich girl picking on u because it boosts their ego. u honestly couldnt care less about those types anymore. so she knows u wont submit to her so easily and thats when she goes to bakugo for help.
the both of them have great respect for eachother, he knows how extraordinary she is and vice versa but when momo asks him, “what do u think of her,” signalling to u, hes a little confused. hes always thought of u as the pathetic type, u did not hold much respect in his heart or mind. hed often forget about ur existence even but one thing he had wouldnt admit, ever was that he also found u hot. very attractive. sometimes, late at night he wud pump his cock to the thought of u. the way u stretched during warm ups, ur beautiful curves. the way ur perfect, little ass bent and jiggled during exercises. he dreamed of going up to u & grabbing a handful. the way ur tits bounced when u ran, everything clouded his mind during late nights when he tried to release pent up stress.
so when momo asked him the question he gave the most honest answer, “just another extra, too me,” momo seemed satisfied w his answer, “so, u dont care about her?” she asks & bakugo agrees. “well she pisses me off.”
the spite momo held in her tone made it hard to believe it was actually her speaking. she asks bakugo for his help. she promises him that he can do whatever he wants with u, whatever. he had said he didnt care about u, it should be easy for him to bully u. he agrees besides, who could say no to momo.
it starts of with usual teasing, hes calling u names, deeming u worthless & laughing when he sees u tear up from his harsh words. he feels amazing, like he is on top of the world. he bullies u pathetically, calling u out on ur insecurities & turning it into a laughing stock for others. while everyone is laughing at ur weak state, fortunately for u someone comes to ur rescue– momo stands up against bakugo acting as she is actually disgusted by his actions, acting as if she wasnt snickering along w the others.
she defends u but what she says just makes u cry even louder. she never outright denies his insults. he calls u a worthless, piece of shit with no real importance to the world. from momo, its never ‘dont listen to him, u are an amazing person y/n!’ but its always ‘bakugo–san, dont pick on others for things they cant change about themselves.” she also thinks u are worthless? guess so? everyone just laughs louder, they know what she is doing & so do u. u know u cant take this anymore, the humiliation brings tears to ur eyes and u can feel the dam break slowly.
u run to the bathroom not sparing a glance behind. u lock urself up in one of the stalls, crying ur pain away. not after long, a loud thud bangs against the door w a crude voice following the tune, “oi, i know ure in there!” bakugo screams, his repeated banging on the door never stopping, “open up!” he continues but u dont listen to him instead putting ur hands over ur ears, trying to block out the sound of his loud cries.
u keep at it for as long as bakugo stands outside the door until u hear an explosion go off & the next thing is he looking down at u ferociously. his glowing, red eyes gleam a powerful hatred making u tremble over the toilet seat. he pulls ur face up by ur hair before slapping u across the face. ur face stings when his hand connect to ur cheek, ur head falling to the opposite direction, ur breath uneven as tears pools down ur eyes.
“oi,” he tugs on ur hair again, ur scalp burning as he tugs on ur weak roots, “u think u can just run away?” u strain ur eyes, trying to look up at him through ur watery vision. “useless bitch,” his stare is intense. his vermilion eyes scan ur tear stained face and he feels himself get excited. the way u are seated would make u face his crotch if it werent for him holding u up by ur hair, “u are pathetic, u know?” he says it like its a question but u very well know hes serious. u only sob harder at his words, fat, salty tears rolling down ur cheeks, u pray to urself that he leaves u alone.
unfortunately for u, the whole scene just excites bakugo even further. he feels his jeans tighten as he starts to imagine u sucking him off. it was just like one of his fantasies only difference; u were here in real flesh & blood withering under him. he drops ur head & u quickly turn ur gaze to the floor, peering down at ur shoes. ur face drops as u hear bakugo unbuckle his belt and pull down the zipper, u keep ur gaze focused to the floor not daring to look up.
what was he going to do? pee on u?
only when he calls out ur name u by mistakenly peep up. the sight u see is scandalous, he pumps his semi-hard cock in his fist slowly as he watches ur every move. ur eyes widen in terror when u hear him talk, “put it in ur mouth, bitch.” his order is absolute yet u dont listen to him. there was no way u were actually going to suck his dick, ur eyes fall back down on the floor as u drop ur head down, “no.” u whisper, ur voice timid. bakugo frowns, what makes u think u have a say in this.
“what do u mean no?” he asks voice on edge, “i-its rape.” ur answer comes out in a weak, broken cry which makes bakugo scoff, “how? im not even touching u.” u try to reason but bakugo is having none of it. growing impatient, he grabs ur head and pushes his cock into ur mouth, completely ignoring ur cries. “bite me and i will blow ur face off” its not an empty threat so u obey. it wasnt like u would be able to win against him anyway.
“suck on it, whore. im litreally asking u to do one single thing but u cant even do that?” bakugo is crude with his words, never missing any opportunity to talk u down. u start sucking on his cock, ur head bobbing & tongue swirling around his tip. he hisses in pleasure, this was so much better than his imagination.
“look at u go, guess the rumours are true afterall.” he laughs. u can feel him coming closer. his cock twitches in ur mouth as he bites his lips roughly, eyes screwed shut in pleasure. his cock hits the back of ur throat before he cums in ir mouth. hot, salty liquid shooting down ur throat making u feel nauseous. “guess sucking dick is the only thing u are good at,” he remarks letting go of ur face. and pulling his pants on. embarrassed, u turn ur face away from him sobbing softly as u wait for him to leave but he never does. instead he watches u cry.
“what are u doing?” another voice breaks in. momo stands outside the bathroom stall knocking on the wooden door. ur head turns to face bakugo in a flash as he goes unlock the door. u grab on his arm, pleading him to not open the door. u didnt want momo to see u in this state. bakugo stares at u before throwing a chasire grin as he opens the door.
more tears fall from ur eyes as u see momo waiting out, concern written all over her face. her fear only increases when she looks over ur broken form. “what happened in here?” she turns to bakugo but recieves no answer, “he raped me!” u scream & momo’s eyes widen. she turns to bakugo, giving him a genuine glare. she approaches u slowly, her hands rest on ur shoulder as she pushes ur face into her boobs while she rubs ur back with soothing circles. “what did he do?” u find it strange how bakugo hadnt left yet, he was technically exposed. what good could it do him? watching the girl whos mouth he just violated get pampered. u tell her about he shoved his dick down ur throat forcefully. u were not sure why she was being all nice to all of a sudden but it was comforting. u keep hugging momo as u cry about bakugo. he just clicks his tongue before getting to leave but momos suggestion holds him back, “why just her mouth?” momo pulls away from ur embrace, her hands now falling behind ur back as she captures ur wrists and bounds the away with ropes she had created. ur wrists adjust uncomfortably behind u. next, her hands reach out between ur legs, forcing them open.
“momo, what are u doing?” the false sense of security is gone as she flips over ur skirt displaying ur light pink panties to bakugo. u squirm around trying to get free of the ropes but its impossible. “didnt i tell u that u can do whatever u want w her?” ur face pales as she starts talking. “shes a virgin, u will have fun. im planning on recording it.” her nimble fingers play with ur clit over the fabric making u wet. “besides, look at her. dont tell me she doesnt want this.” her fingers vanish behind ur panties as she plays with ur holes, ur arousal sticking to her fingers deliciously.
bakugo looks at scene displayed before him and feels himself raging a hard–on again. he takes a good look at ur crying face wrecking u and filling u with his cum till the brim while momo records everything.

Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Restrospective: The Raider of the Copper Hill! “You Got Rich Son”
Tumblr media
Hello all you happy people! And welcome back to my retrospective of the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck! It’s been far too long, almost three months since we last checked in with Scrooge and frankly I feel i’ve been spacing these entries out too much for this one and for the retrospectives that aren’t paid for in general. So expect at least one McDuck adventure a month till I finish, possibly two when I can swing it like this month. 
Now i’m done beating myself up, when we last left off a younger more naive, more optimistic and less experienced Scooge took up a career as a cowboy for  Cattle Baron, gained his first sidekick in the form of his Horse Hortense, and took out some cattle thieves with the help of Teddy Fucking Roosevelt. 
This chapter marks the end of the story’s first act. The first act is about a younger and far nicer Scrooge: still onrey and still a cheapskate, but still a good kid and far more outwardly friendly and welcoming, a far cry from the bitter untrusting man we come to know. This chapter is one of the reasons why, as Scrooge learns a hard lesson about wealth and success, the sacrifices one needs to make for family and about sticking your hand in a lightbulb while it’s plugged in. So join me under the cut as Scrooge meets another valuable mentor, one of his greatest enemies, and about 50 feet of barbed wire. 
Tumblr media
We begin with the end of Scrooge’s time as a ranch hand and cowpunch. With homesteaders moving in and dividing up the land, Murdo simply dosen’t have the space for cattle baroning anymore and has to let Scrooge go and head back to texas. We do get a great bit of Scrooge wrapped in barbed wire, having gone to cut some down so Murdo could move the herd out. 
So with his Job done and parting on good terms with his old boss, Scrooge sets up his own homestead on some land near the Anaconda Silver Mine, trying to make it as a prospector, starting on the path that would eventually lead him to riches.. in about a decade and a half.
 So Scrooge bemoans his rotten luck over Dinner with a stranger, Marcus Daly owner of said mine... who just.. randomly sat down to have dinner with a 17 year old. 
Tumblr media
Marcus belays his own woes: While Scrooge has failed at what he tried to do, having gotten into both steamboating and cattle punching too late to go anywhere with either, Daly has a silver mine that’s full of copper: decent amoutns of it but still not what his investors wanted. 
Both however find their fortunes reverse in an instant in the weirdest way possible. The light goes out at their table and Scrooge tries to adjust it only to electcute himself. To his shock...
Tumblr media
He finds out it’s running on electricty, which is starting to become widespread.. and requires vast amounts of copper wiring. Scrooge is back in the game but finds trouble getting equipment as the local seller naturally is a jackass who jacks up the price. Scrooge instead sells the gold teeth his dad gave him to the nearest gentleman after talking him into it. . And i’ts not even the weirdest transaction i’ve seen this week. 
Tumblr media
For the record those weird things are the guy on the left’s skinflakes, his power is to make naked golems of himself out of his dandruff and skin flakes and what have you, while the guy on the right is paying for a mutant with a star for a head. So yeah a scottish cowboy selling his ancestor’s dentures to pay for mining gear is refelshingly tame after all of this. 
So we get the comic equivleant of a montage as Scrooge starts his work at prospecting, making a portable homesteader shack as a miner owns any land he lives on, and moving around to try and find it, but he runs into a problem: with his last two careers he had mentors to help him learn what to do: Pothole taught him riverboating and Murdo helped him learn to ride the trails. Here he has no one and while you can self teach a lot of things prospecting isn’t one of them. 
He end sup finding one though as a rich gentleman asking about the mine happens to wander by: Howard D. Rockerduck. If that names sounds familiar it should as he’s indeed the father of exactly who your thinking of and we meet a young 10 or so year old john who asks him to stop dealing with a grubby workman. We also find out whose responsible for him turning out ot be such a piece of work as his mother’s response to his father telling him “I used to be a grubby workman is well... word’s cant’ do this amount of classist bulslhit justice. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seriously his unnamed wife is so odious it hurts. And how the fuck did an honest, kind man like Howard end up with this bitch? It’ sbaffled me every time i’ve read this: did he marry for money? is he a gold digger? go down gold dig get down? Is she just THAT good in bed? Did he just make a horrible mistake one night? Did she lie to him about who she was? Was she replaced by a skrull? I have questions no duck comic has properly explained.. and if they have please tell me.  Also it does tickle me we’re getting a bit with a duck named howard though sadly he wears a top hat instead of a nice little bowler. And if you don’t know who howard the duck is.. shame on you. And if you’ve seen the movie.. my deepest sympathies. 
While Howard laments wanting to horsewhip his son, this was a century ago with change mind you standards were different and also John sucks. Howard crticizes Scrooge’s techqniue after introducing himself, and Scrooge and him get into a bit of a tizzy, with Howard offering to teach him for two cents.. but the hostility quickly desolves hours later as Scrooge realizes Howard was right and he’d been doing things completely wrong and the thrill of hard honest work again has washed away any ego driven competiviness. 
I”ll get more into Howard in a second but he does eventually strike copper, and while the vein is full it’s also thin. But Howard has one final trick and takes Scroogey for an ore test. I tried to find more on this but just found a lot of ways to do it yourself and what not. I”m now really intrigued how they did this and found the content of minerals. I know it’s a dull subject but i’m curious how they did it with the technology of the time. Did they just use acids like I found? If so how’d they get them? I do say this is one of the great qualities of Rosa’s works: he makes you want to learn more about history. I looked up more about TR after the last chapter and now I want to know how the hell metallurgy worked in the late 1800′s. 
We then get an intresting interacton as Scrooge.. warmly greets the townsfolk and vice versa.. yes the same Scrooge who as an adult would be introduced proclaming...
Tumblr media
Is warm, optimistic and wholeheartedly belieives...
Tumblr media
As you can probably tell by Howard’s reaction and what Scrooge becomes.. this story’s all about shattering that notion and is the first of two to shatter the poor kid’s trust in people and make him into the bitter old sod we know. 
The sample comes back 55% positive... which leaves Howard rushing to get Scrooge to a court house. As it turns out there’s an old, very real for the time, mining law called the Law of Apex: whoever owns the land closest to where an ore vein is on the surface owns the whole thing... so legally Scrogoe owns the ENTIRE ANACONDA COPPER MINE, which at this point as detailed in the time skip has gone from struggling to utterly thriving and sucessful. Whoever owns the land at the time the Judge rules it gets the mine.. and Scrooge’s friends, who seconds ago were concerned about him being dragged into court.. are now all scrambling to take his fortune, something Howard dosen’t seem at all suprised about. 
But while this may be a kinder, more naive Scrooge McDuck, it’s still SCROOGE MCDUCK. His response is to cut a nearbye power wire and swing it tarzan style over to hortense and ride her back ahead of the mob... with the electric wire slapping her rear and causing her to go extra fast.. and also quit. So Scrooge stands alone but manages to take out some of the ruffians with his shack while John and the Judge rush to the site. As for Scrooge well... you want to see what a McDuck family beserker rage against an ENTIRE angry mob of opportunistic assholes look like? 
Tumblr media
And this isn’t even the most badass thing Scrooge will do this series. Or even in the next few issues. That’s how awesome this series is: fighting an angry mob SOLO with simply his pure rage and whatever he can grab and throw. And he WINS. He’s exausted and passes out, falling out of the sky on his final opponent.. but he took out what was at the LEAST 50 men, and ONLY passed out because one of them threw dynamite in his out house.. and even THAT didn’t kill him or put him out, simply casuing him to land on said dynamite throwing idiot and wins. 
We find out Rockerduck actually was one of the mine’s owners but helped Scrooge anyway: he has more than enough money and all it’s going to do in the end is go to a greedy brat. Marcus Daly shows up and while he’ll get the law overturned eventually, he still has to shut down while that happens and finds the right officials to bribe. And this is the 1800s... you gotta go by train to do your bribes. You can’t just do that shit over email and hidden bank accounts. Daly offers him 10,000.. but given what Scrooge could earn even before he got his mine back, Scrooge turns it down. 
However this victory is bittersweet as Scrooge warmly greets his friends.. only for one to cuss him out and the other to tell him to get loss. We then get one of my faviorite exchanges in this story.
Tumblr media
This whole Panel is a masterwork. The sheer INNOCENCE on Scrooge’s face, almost looking like Donald, desperately wondering what he did, when as Howard points out.. he did nothing wrong. He simply got successful and they resent him for it. 
This has been a hard paragraph for me to write as I want to tread carefully. People do have good reasons to scorn the rich or celebrtiies sometimes. Some rich people or those in the media are genuinely terrible. Jeff Bezos, Tucker Carlson, Mel Gibson, Louie CK, Joss Whedon and even someone as low on the totem pole as Doug Walker is odious. And of course we all can think of one odious example of rich bastard i’d rather not think of, especially when thinking of John D Rockerduck and what he’l lbecome as an adult that i’m not giving a pleasure of the name drop but came to mind. 
But even for good people becoming succesful puts up a barrier between you and other people: Fans of yours will admire you or write fanfic or what have about you without even knowing you, i’ve been on that side, and some people will hate you just because without valid reason, especially in this day and age. Success breeds resentment and even people you trusted and loved can sometimes turn on you. It’s the double eged sword of achieving your dreams: You get what you wanted but you often loose what you had. 
And it was no diffrent two centuries ago, with Scrooge’s friends only being friendly as long as it suited them, turning on him first to steal his chance at glory and then to scorn him for daring to achieve it. Some people.. are only there for you as long as your not above them. And sometimes you can be happy. Look at Tom Hanks, who has a lovely family and a long and storied career. Or Linkara, a youtuber who has been at this for over a decade, has tons of fans, a loving wife with her own succesful channel, and just recently got contacted by his childhood heroes. You CAN be happy and successful.. it’s just very hard to make it that far. 
One of the central points of life and times is that’s often not the case: You can get what you want but it comes at a cost. And it’s how you pay that price that will determine how happy you are. Another central point intertwined with it is it’s not the journey but the destination, and i’ts how Scrooge takes that journey that ultimately leads him where he ends up good and bad. And we get an all to telling all too foreboding hint in how he takes everyone he knew for at least a year turning on him overnight. 
Tumblr media
When faced with his first real loss on this Journey that wasn’t material.. he dosen’t care. He has his money and riches and that’s enough. And as we’ll see that attitude will cost him greatly. Howard is irate for a moment, hoping he wasn’t wrong in trusting Scrooge.. and indeed, for now, turns out to have placed his faith in the right person as Scrooge gets a telegram: his family needs him. And while he could stay, turn his back on them, and earn MILLIONS.. he tells Howard  to tell the owner he’s taking the deal. For now when given the choice between his family and his fortune, SCrooge will choose them. Sadly.. that won’t hold true forever. 
With this being the end of his time in the story, as he has a still insufferable John buy him a horsewhip for horrific but darkly funny reasons, as John brags about how rich his father is not realizing he’s buying his own whupping tool, i’d like to touch on Howard D Rockerduck and how amazing he is. Rosa managed to pack a throughly interesting, throughly engaging character into only 8 pages. While Rockerduck DID show up earlier in of ducks dimes and destinys, he wasn’t really fleshed out or named and only showed up for one page so still 9 pages total. 
But in those we see a kind and noble man whose easily what Scrooge COULD have been, kind, noble, generous, hardworking and willing to give up money to help people. He’s a good man.. but even he’s seen the sacrifice Money brings. He’s clearly lost friends, lost a sense of peace, and married the wrong Woman, whose poisoned his children into a spoiled brat who will only grown into an even more spoield adult in both continuities.. if raised quite a bit earlier in the 2017 cartoon as he was made scrooge’s contemporary there rather than a child, but semeantics. Point is Howard hismelf isn’t wholly satisfied with his success.. and that’s what he and Scrooge will forever have in common, with Scrooge, likely as a result of meeting the Rockerducks, fearing an indadiquate inheritor and someone squandering what he worked hard for. Though his reasons for not taking up a wife as we’ll see eventually, if outside the main 12 part story but I intend to cover the subchapters in their own time, aren’t entirely motivated by avoiding goldigging but a broken hard and his own stubborness. 
For now though we bid Howard and america adue. Scrooge however for once ends an occupation with less bitterness. Unlike his last two ventures where he made it out with only enough to get to the next one here he made it out ahead: he now has a decent suit, likely bought for him by Howard given he hasn’t cashed the check yet, I know this as it’s a major plot point for next time, 10,000 dollars.. and experince. He may of not gotten all the money he was due on this venture, but he learned more valuable skills and he feels with a land like america, the next opportunity to earn some dough is just waiting for him to get back. And as the chapter ends he muses that maybe the country could use a symbol of this countries boundless opportunity...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Final Thoughts for the Raider of the Copper Hill:
This chapter is one of my favorites. It’s nicely paced, something Rosa himself admits was often a struggle as he had to cover years at a time, has a wonderful new mentor for Scrooge, and sets up a lot of the tragedy to come in the last act beautifully. It’s a nice closer for our first act, showing Scrooge has come out of his first trip to america wiser, more experinced and more hopeful, but at heart still the same kind and noble kid he left Glasgow as. The next act is about the change of that boy into a man, how he will finally find his fortune after some more adventures.. and how the last viestges of his kindess and optimisim towards others die at the hands of a certain fake scotish gentleman. 
Next Life And Times: As is tradition for this series act openers, Scrooge returns home.. and just in time to get his castle back, fight a duel and go to heaven and back. So an average McDuck tuesday then.

roommate! jaemin
Tumblr media
i hope u guys like this one! i do :) 
warning: not proofread LMAO
jaemin: a huge flirt
like we been knew sis okay bUt its not like it defines him ya kno??? like yes he is a flirt but its not like he does it purposely
however that doesn’t stop every single girl from liking him
except for u cause you’re ~not like other girls~
jk you are 
cause who wouldn’t find na jaemin attractive?? tf???
okay but like the dealio between you and jaemin is that you are best friends 
and you have a fat crush on him (u have since the beginning of highschool LOL)
luckily for you, although jaemin is a flirt, he isnt interested in any girls so he doesnt bring any to your dorm
and even if he did, he would tell u because it would be shitty not to 
anyway
so u met in grade nine and yalls friendship popped TF off right away like you joined nomins duo and made it a trio in the span of 4 months and everyone was like???? this mf got that close to them that fast???? mastery
jeno was like ur brother from another mother fr
you and him told eachother everything and sometimes he would tell you things he wouldnt even tell jaemin. like everyone has those people that although theyre close w, there are some things you’d never tell and that goes for jeno and jaemin
jaemin never told jeno he listens to taylor swift
and jeno never told jaemin that he watched all of my little pony friendship is magic on netflix
but since you and jeno shared some personal things w eachother, you obviously told him about your crush on jaemin
and since you had a crush on jaemin, you never got like super super close with him just cause ur feels got in the way 
mainly just you never got as close to jaemin as you did jeno
sure you were bffs, but it wasn’t on such an intimate level
cause everytime jaemin would look your way you’d be gasping for air
so timeskip to senior year
everything is great
your friendship is still strong af and you guys are all planning for post secondary
jaemin and you get into the same uni right.... and jeno gets into the one the town over so your friendship wont take that much damage
but!!! jaemin wants to room with you!!! and ur like!! fucufejdsk!!!
cause like ofc you want to who wouldnt????? but you have such a massisve crush on him you dont want it to get in the way of not only yours but also jaemins university experience
you say yes tho and next thing you know youre unpacking all your stuff
the dorm is kind of small like there isnt a lot of space,,,,, theres two bedrooms but the beds literally take out the whole room HAHHAHA and then there is a chill space with the kitchen connected and u and jaemin have to share a washroom LOL
“jaemin what the FUCK did you eat??? beans??? i bet it was beans this shit smells so bad i-”
“it really do be ya own friends sometimes” -jaemin 2020 :((((((
anyway so like university life is good you and jaemin invite jeno over every weekend for a sleepover and vice versa its so cute GAH
but like,,,, here’s where the drama comes in
one day you are facetiming jeno and youre telling him about how you really like jaemin and blah blah ya know the usual
and youre not really looking at the screen cause youre doing your homework and focusing on that but jeno sees in the back that jaemin has fully entered the room
and you dont notice cause hes silent and your still talking but jeno is trying to get your attention UDHSJIA
and when he does you see in your part of the screen jaemin just,,,, standing there
cue you ending the call with jeno SO FAST and turning around like oH i thought you had classes right now?
“.... they ended early”
“i see” ://////////
you like get up super fast and just walk around him and go into your roomm shutting the door 
poor jaemin is just like “what”
cause to be honest he never really considered this situation ever happening yah he thought you were prettier than most girls and he liked the way you were able to talk to people so easily but he never would have thought you harboured feelings for him
so he kind of just leaves it be cause he knows that you def dont want to talk about it and is willing to wait for you to be the one who brings it up
so time skip to dinner youre both just eating in silence but you dont like it,,,
“what i said was true” you say and jaemin looks up and he knows where this convo is going but he lets you speak
“i didnt ever plan on telling you because i really like our friendship but i guess i wasn’t careful enough”
your heart is beating hella fast but you try to look unbothered and its going pretty good until jaemin asks you something
“how long have you felt this way?”
OKAY like it shouldnt be a big deal to tell him bc you already exposed yourself but for some reason that question just hit you deep cause you realized that youve liked him for so long and he never felt the same ya know
“i dont know,,, since the start of highschool? when we became friends i always thought you were cute and it just turned into a full blown crush”
jaemin just sort of nods in response “oh okay”
so that night your just laying in your bed full of regrets
you know things are about to be super duper awkward between you and jaemin and you wish it didnt have to be like that
so over the next couple of weeks its more awkward than it has ever been before and the sleepovers with jeno seem so divided 
its either jeno and you or jeno and jaemin its never the three of you anymore :((((((
jaemin isn’t ignoring your feelings though, dont worry! hes just trying to sort his out
because your confession kind of opened his eyes
he doesnt want to force himself to like you but he cant help but admit that when he first heard you talking about your feelings a huge warmth spread through his chest and he may or may not have uncovered some feelings
these feelings were always there but he suppressed in grade nine cause he thought you’d never like him and you just wanted to stay friends
so he pushed them down and never thought about it again
but obviously that didnt happen because now youre on his mind 24/7 and he wishes that he could just talk to you but hes kind of nervous
so after taking advice from jeno he tries to talk to you more, like asking how your day went and starting up conversations
youre  kind of like “what u playing at son” but you leave it cause you know jaemin would never do you dirty like that
it stays this way for a while until one night theres a particularly bad thunderstorm and jaemin is scared of thunder
and so when youre just playing on your phone jaemin opens your door slightly and has this scared look on his face
and you know that jaemin is scared of thunder so you open your arms without any words being shared
a huge boom of thunder makes jaemin squeal and jump into your arms
and he gets comfy under the covers as youre holding him, no words shared between you two
he starts to feel much better and this sense of comfort washes over him like,,, youre his home
and as hes falling asleep he softly mutters
“im sorry it took me so long”
and youre just straight confused like what does that mean is he talking about his feelings or just the fact that yall havent had such an close encounter in a while 
the next morning you wake up and jaemins arms and you guys are facing eachother
and hes already awake so when you oepn your eyes you find him already looking at you
“thank you for last night, youre the best” he whispers and youre like all good fam i understand
but then he leans in closer and is like “i should have told you this so long ago, but i am in love with you”
your eyes widen and youre like wh AT the FUCJ your heart is beating at like 420 bpm and ur shooketh
he just smiles and pulls in you in closer and its just a super soft moment and no words have to be said
that night you guys are cuddling on the couch after dinner when jaemin just asks you be his gf
OF COURSE YOU SAY YES! you have been waiting for this moment for god knows how long
jeno is all like damn fina-fucking-ly i’ve been watching this romance play out for like 5 years! 
its super cute
its even better that you guys are roommates because youre already living together so you get to see eachother everyday
jaemins room as become a guest room for sorts as he now shares a bed with you
jenos happy af hes like YESSS I DONT NEED TO SLEEP WITH JAEMIN IN OUR SLEEPOVERS ANYMORE
jaemin: >:(((((( tf is that supposed to mean
you just laugh and youre like im not complaining hahaha and jaemins heart just stutters so bad 
he really does love you and he cant believe it took him so long to accept his feelings
and one night he tells you about how he pushed them down and youre like “exCUSE ME we could have been dating all this time u pussy”
sad jaemin :((((( 
anyway ya its so good its a win-win situation 
you get to room with the love of your life and its just magical there are so many soft moments between you two and just UGH relationship goals

Cat Daddy
Tumblr media
[ You find a little cat on a late night walk home, Shinso helps you out and becomes your “Cat Daddy”]
(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)
 It was Thursday night, you had fallen asleep studying at the library when the sound of thunder woke you up. 
“Great, now it’s raining.” you thought to yourself. 
You packed your things and threw on your coat. You didnt even bring your umbrella with you. You had originally planned to be back to your room before the weather got this bad. Too late for that now. 
You started the walk back to your dorm reluctanty.You had made it about half way when you heard a few meows. You stopped and listened for the sound. You followed it to a gutter area and peered down. It was so dark you couldn’t see anything. You listened closely. There it was again. You grabbed your cell phone and turned on the flashlight. 
“Oh! There you are, you little thing!!”
“You are so pretty!! Can you come closer so I can get you out?” You said to the little grey kitten.
The thing just stayed where it was, making no attempt to help you get it out, mewing loudly all the while.
 You were laying on the ground in the pouring rain getting soaked. You looked up and glanced around. You saw someone a little ways from you so you called out.
“Hey….hey!!! SHINSO? is that you. I need your help?!”
He glanced your way but continued on walking.
You huffed to yourself. “What a jerk. I cant believe he wont help me. This poor little thing. I’m gonna get you out ok little kitty.”
“Little kitty?” The tall purple haired boy was now suddenly standing straight behind you.
“Oh Shinso. I thought you were ignoring me." 
“Well I was trying to but then my curiosity got the best of me and I wondered what you were doing in the gutter getting all wet” He responded with a smug grin on his face.
“I heard a little kitty down here, I’m too short, you’re bigger do you think you can get to it?“ You asked him, giving him the best pouty face you could muster.
“Hmm, let me see.” He handed you his umbrella as he kneeled next to the gutter. He motioned for you to hold your flashlight. He stuck his hand out and was able to grab the kitten by the scruff of its neck.
"Oh my god thank you! Poor thing was getting soaked.” You reached out to pet it.
He held the cat in his arms as he took his umbrella back. You were scratching its little head as it was purring.
You both started to head back to the dorms together, sharing his umbrella, and discussing how a tiny little kitten like this could have gotten down there in the first place. You made it to the common room with him as he set the cat down in his lap. Luckily it was pretty late and all your classmates were already in their rooms.
“Aww it’s a little girl. Thank you for helping me. I would have never been able to get her on my own.” You said to Shinso, you were surprised he actually helped you. Usually he avoided interactions like this
“No problem. I actually really like cats, so I’m glad I decided to stop.” His hand was up scratching at the back of his neck as he looked down at the purring little fuzzball.
“You can give her to me now so I can get her dried up…”
Before you could even respond Shinso cut you off “Uhm. No….”
“Why not? I found her?” You interjected defensively. You shot him a harsh look.
“Yeah but you couldn’t GET her. You just said it yourself if I wasnt there to help she’d still be in the gutter drowning.” He stared back at you unamusingly. “But…” You started to give him the sad puppy dog eyes. “But nothing.” He smirked. 
“Besides, do you really think Aizawa sensei would let you keep her? I think I’d have a better chance winning him over.” “I guess soo…so give me your number” You said while shoving your phone in his face
“What why?” Shinso had one eyebrow raised questioningly.
“Yeah, I get that you dont want any friends here or anything, but we just became this little kitties parents. Without me, you wouldnt have her, and vice versa, I wouldn’t have her without you. I’m not taking no for an answer.” You put you hands on your hips hoping this would convince him somehow.
 It did. He put his number in and handed the phone back to you. He turned and started heading towards his room…
“Hey where are you going?” You broke out into a sprint after him.
“To dry her” he huffed back at you.
With a big grin on your face you looked him dead in the eyes and said. “I’m helping!” 
“Fine.” he replied as he broke the eye contact and opened his door.
(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)(=ↀωↀ=)
You followed him into his room. It was pretty much exactly as you thought it would be. Slightly messy, blankets and pillows everywhere, books that were left open were haphazardly left about.  Nothing too dangerous that the little kitty could get into. 
He walked over to the closet and grabbed some towels. He threw one at you, while taking the other to dry the little cat now laying on his bed.
“You too. You’re soaked. I don’t want my room all wet.” 
You dried yourselves and then watched as he grabbed the little kitty to cuddle. He laid down on his bed as you just stood there awkwardly looking at the two of them making themselves comfy.
“You can sit down you know…” he finally said.
“I know” you mumbled to yourself as you went and sat at the edge of his bed.
“We should probably get her a bed and stuff… Do you have like an old long sleeve shirt and a pillow….I can make a temporary one for tonight?” You said as you looked around his room for supplies.
He shot you a look, one that could only mean he didn’t really want you to rummage through all his stuff, and got up to look around in his closet.
The little kitty came over and rubbed herself against your arm. You were petting and scratching her all over when you were interrupted by a t-shirt landing on your head covering your face. It smelled really good if you were being honest. “I wonder if its his cologne, or his shampoo that smells like this?” you thought to yourself.
You made a make-shift little bed for your new furry friend as Shinso pulled out his laptop…
“We can look at stuff online and order it that way its here after class tomorrow.”
“Ok that’s a good idea.” You agreed.
 “We’ll split the cost. 50/50?”
Shinso nodded. The two of you layed on your stomachs with the little cat between you both, while looking at all the cute cat things on the internet. Taking turns petting her.
“I like this bed! “ You said, pointing to a fuzzy pastel pink one with butterfly patterns.
“No that ones too pink.” Shinso shot that down real quick.
“Fine what about this one.” It was a black and grey plaid bed. Pretty plain but it matched the rest of his room so you figured he might like it. Shinso agreed. You watched as he added a collar to the cart without asking your opinion.
“Hey I thought we were doing this together.” You said while slapping his arm lightly.
“I never agreed to that.” Shinso was smirking at you while he rubbed his arm, acting like you actually hit him hard.
“Yet here we are!” you interrupted….
“I do like that collar though….we need to name her!” After bickering back and forth about the all the necessary supplies, you thought that would never happen. 
“Well, after that I dont think we could ever agree on a name.”
Shinso laughed. “That’s because you’d probably pick cutesy little names that I wouldn’t like.”
“Hmm. Well how about we make a list of what we like and draw from a hat. That seems fair.” You glanced over at him making sure he was listening. You stood from the bed and and grabbed your coat to leave.
“I’ll write a list and you do one too…By tomorrow after class, I’ll come over to see all the stuff we bought and visit and we can decide then!”
“Is this going to be a daily thing? You coming over to visit….?” Shinso groaned, and rolled over on his back, throwing one arm over his eyes painstakingly.
“Well, we are parents now! What kind of mother would I be if I left you to be a single dad!” You said as you winked and left his room.
Once you shut the door and starting walking to your room, you unlocked your phone and brought up his contact info. 
“Cat Daddy!!” You mumbled excitedly to yourself as you changed his name.

How to save up stuff in Obey Me
Okay, so let me explaing the title first. In the past couple of days Satoshi-san (the voice actor of Belphie) uploaded a pic on Twitter about the game where he had 1000+ aps and the fandom was shooked. 
Tumblr media
Well, i always have at least 2000+ aps, 2.500.000 coins and 400 devil points and i thought everybody is playing the game like this, so i was surprised that it’s not the case. 
Like i just can’t spend that many in a go. 
Let me clarify, that i can save this much because i don’t necesarry obtain the cards in events and i don’t often pull more than three times. I also only gain the SSR cards in the end of the first parts. I have no real many for games, so playing all the events is a super big off to me and i don’t even need that many cards, because i don’t use all of them anyway. I only collect the Mammon cards and those i really like. 
So, about the aps. 
As i said before, i don’t play every event. If i don’t like the cards that much, i only play because of the story and i leave it there after. I have tones of cards, but i am slow at upgradeing them, so when there is an event i don’t play, i go and upgrade the cards instead. (I like Otaku Boot Camps, thanks Levi)
In daily basic i get around 110 aps, i think only from sending ap to friends and collecting the aps from Fridge Missions. There are times when the devs send us like daily 50 or 30 aps ((if i remember right)) and with those we have around 140-160 aps a day i guess. Forgive me if i don’t remember all the options, i just collect everything i can lol. 
If there is no event and i don’t work hard on upgrading a card, i only spend a necessary amout of aps a day. Like i do the “Win a battle (normal) 10/10″, Win a battle normal with 3 stars 15/15″ and if i collected all the devil points i don’t do the “Win a battle (hard) 7/7″ or the “Win a battle (hard) with 3 stars 12/12″ or vice versa. 
Usually, i only do these: 
- Send ap to a friend 3/3
- Meet with a surprise guest 3/3
- Win a battle (normal) 10/10
- Win a battle (normal) with 3 stars 15/15
- Level up a card 3/3
- Go to Jobs and work a job 3/3
- Summon a card in Nightmare 3/3
Seven tasks for the 18 devil points daily. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I upgrade my cards everyday, so i can play the new levels and i always look at what i need for them to unlock the next little star. Nowadays i need items from the normal level, that’s why i am doing those, but if i need ones from the hard levels, i do those instead of the normal ones. 
So i spend around 75-90 aps i guess? So i still have at least 50 left from a day to save.
Let me clarify, that when i’ve started the game, i was in no way thinking about to save anything and when there were no 2nd season i played all the events out of boredom and only started to save now, that there are new lessons. 
I think that’s about aps. I really can’t help if you wanna do the events and the new lessons at the same time, that’s a little bit more expensive than my way of playing, haha. ((But tbh, let’s be honest, if i could save up real money for OM, i would absolutely do so, but this is my survival kit for no-real-money players.))
About coins. 
I think Mammon very much would want a little from me, lol. I can’t say a lot about this to be honest; go and send the boys to have some work and gain some money for you. You also get at least a few thousand if you play battles. 
I gain at least around 50.000 a day (it’s much more usually, but i always gain this much), and i most likely spend at least half of it to upgrade cards. Sometimes the whole amount. I try to save up some, if i’ve just started upgrading a card, bc a new card is cheaper at the begining. Like you can jump from 0 to the 10th level for how many? 2000+ or so. That’s not much and you already have one task done with that. 
Devil Points.
As i mentioned before with seven tasks done, you get 18 daily, sometimes you get 3-5 for login and completing stuff in the total. Tbh, i never spend dps for stuff for the boys. It’s really rare, i usually use those that they bring from work or i got from events or from the item section with cards. I recommend you spending ravens on these stuff instead of dps. (I mean, if you don’t want the demon looks or have them all. I only bought Mammon’s and since then i gained at least 110 back.) Or just pat them.
If i used all my aps, i usually buy a bunch back with dps. For example, if there is an event i like the card, i spend hella lof of aps, so i need to add back some in the end. (I did this when there was no 2nd season, so i could start that without a problem.)
I recommend to have at least 99 all the time so you can buy the level up pack or what when you reach a new level and they gave out some coins, ap, 5 glow sticks and 5 vouchers. I had no problem playing the new levels thanks to the tones of glow sticks i saved with these 99 dp sales. 
Vouchers.
Uh, the most i pulled was 9x10 pull when we could obtain the Mammon UR+. I didn’t get that even after 9x10 pulls, not even the Lucifer one, so since then i never pull more then 5 times, bc i know i cant pull a 10x10 and this way it doesn’t worth it. (I mean, with a 10x10 you get an UR(+), but i never managed to pull that unfortunately.) Most of the time i pull 3 time/event. There are events i am not even pulling. It was a pain in the ass to gain back all the vouchers and dps i wasted, so never again. 
((That’s totally possible tho to save up 100 dvs and pull a 10x10, but i always use mines and then not manage to gain back before an UR i want, lol. Yeah 100% my mistake, i know.))
As i said, i am always gaining 5 with the level up 99dp sale. I think that’s the ultimate way of gaining vouchers, you get five for 99dp, when 1 cost 30 (? i hope i am right) in other way. So it totally worths it. 
Also, you can exchange ravens for vouchers, which is a really good way too. 
Hmm, i guess that’s it. That’s how i play. Basically all i do is to save up stuff for those events i really like, and then start again. I would like to highlight again, that i am more invested in the main story than in the events, so that makes things easier. 
I hope it helped at least a little to somebody. If you have any other recommendations i would like to hear them! Thanks for coming to my TED talk, lol.
((Sorry for my English in advance, it's not native.))

Had a bit of time free, so decided to answer "48 questions Atheists can't answer". Where I can I name the logical fallacy they use in the question. For 'unanswerable questions' they were surprisingly answerable. Good exercise to clarify your position, even if only to yourself. via /r/atheism
Submitted December 02, 2020 at 03:02PM by eldrad17 (Via reddit https://ift.tt/3myQVxb) Had a bit of time free, so decided to answer "48 questions Atheists can't answer". Where I can I name the logical fallacy they use in the question. For 'unanswerable questions' they were surprisingly answerable. Good exercise to clarify your position, even if only to yourself.
48 Questions Atheists can’t answer (answered)
I'll be honest, these questions weren't really well thought out. If I didn't get these directly from the website below I'd imagine someone was deliberately strawmanning their own arguments for some reason. I recommend having a go yourself, though, it helps to organise your thoughts on the matter! By the time I finished I figured I'd put it on here.
https://creationsciencestudy.wordpress.com/2014/06/10/clever-questions-atheists-cant-answer/
I feel I should mention there were certain questions which I felt I should avoid (specifically regarding race, rape and Hitler) but I got the sense the writers were trying to put people off of answering them, and I had set out to answer the 'unanswerable'.
1. If creationists can’t do science, then why do Kent Hovind and Duane T. Gish, who are creation scientists, have professional degrees in science?
A: This appears to be an ambiguity fallacy- Science is a broad term that covers many subjects and can be misused in certain circumstances as I think has been done in your question. If ‘creation’ science can be backed up by peer reviewed scientific journals that can be verified by other scientists around the world then yes that would make it a solid science. If Kent Hovind and Duane T. Gish have any such papers that have been peer reviewed I would be very interested to read them and check their claims. As it stands this has yet to be done.
‘Dr’ Kent Hovind in particular got his degrees from unaccredited institutions. He just added Doctor to his name so people will believe his claims which happens more than you think. I personally know someone who got his doctorate in writing a few years ago- doesn’t make him a scientist. I could go into Kent’s tax evasion here but I’d rather stick to the facts rather than commit a ‘Tu quoque’ fallacy.
2. If dinosaurs turned into birds, why are we not afraid of them?
A: Because birds aren’t a threat, we had millions of years to figure that out once the dinosaurs weren’t around. It would hardly make sense for a species to evolve and develop a fear of a predator that didn’t prey on them.
3. If homosexuality is right, then how come two people of the same sex not produce a child?
A: You’re assuming there is a morality position to take on this. Whilst I have heard there may be some evolutionary benefit to homosexuality I myself am not aware of it. Live and let live.
4. What purpose do we have if evolution is real?
A: Again you are making an assumption- this time that we have a purpose. As an (optimistic) nihilist I see no reason to think that life and the universe has any purpose. I determine the purpose of my own life.
5. You say Jesus never existed, but have you heard of the Shroud of Turin?
A: I never said Jesus didn’t exist. As for the shroud- It’s a sheet that looks like a face. I can make one at home! Jokes aside, if you can prove that it is in fact the face of Jesus and not someone else via genetic science or some other means that can accurately verify it (peer reviewed scientific journals again I’m afraid) then I will admit that Jesus did factually exist. You then have the problem of proving that he was the son of God and performed miracles as you say he did via the same means. Good luck with that.
6. Why do we not see humans being born in the zoos from monkeys if we came from monkeys?
A: The personal incredulity fallacy- because you don’t understand how something works ergo it must not be true. This demonstrates how little effort you have put into researching evolution. Monkeys can’t give birth to humans and vice versa- we descend from a common ancestor. For the final time (please!) Monkeys, Chimps, Gorillas and Humans all descended from a common ancestor millions of years ago- Apes!
7. Why do we go to church if God is not real?
A: The bandwagon fallacy- because most people think a certain way or believes something it must then be true. The most common way to explain this fallacy is pointing out that a popular opinion at one time was that the Earth was flat. Didn’t make our ancestors right back then just as I’m certain there are many things we all assume to be true that will one day be proven otherwise. It’s called progress.
Everyone likes to be reassured in what they believe, hanging out with like-minded people is a good way to do that and people are welcome to do so whether that’s at a Church, Mosque or even a pub. Personally I think it’s a waste of a good Sunday morning.
8. How did the Grand Canyon form?
A: Over millions of years due to the same naturalistic processes we can measure and observe around the world. There are many peer reviewed scientific journals that back this up.
9. Do you know that Jesus loves you?
A: Fallacy- an appeal to emotion. Trying to prove your point by ignoring the facts and attempting to win me over by making me feel good. That isn’t going to work with someone like me who doesn’t equate Jesus with love. Zombies and vampires love me too, apparently, but I’m hardly going to run over to them and make friends!
There are a lot of claims made about Jesus that require solid evidence for me to change my mind as to whether he actually existed, had a beard, was white, was male, told stories, performed miracles, whether he was the son of God and if so that there is a God. Start at the beginning and keep proving it through the scientific method (peer reviewed journals, remember) and I’ll convert. Simple.
10. If Christianity is false, then why is it popular?
A: Again, Bandwagon fallacy. Just because an idea is popular doesn’t make it true. If that were the case you might want to convert to Islam pronto as they’re soon going to take over the number of Christians!
11. If you say Christianity is not true, then why do hundreds of people continue to become saved every day?
A: Bandwagon. Belief is a fluid thing, it is different every day for every person. In the UK where I am from secularism is on the rise. Islam is apparently (so I read) on the rise in China. The demographics are changing constantly.
12. Why do we not see half trees and half carrots, fronkeys, and crocoducks if evolution is real?
A: Personal Incredulity again. Cross speciation is impossible due to genetics. Any one of those things may have evolved into existence if the right conditions for it arose.
13. Why is Richard Dawkins afraid to debate Ray Comfort?
A: He has better things to do. Such a high-profile debate would only afford legitimacy to the creationist view which he feels (and I agree) it does not deserve. Better to ask why an (actual) scientist does not take creationism seriously enough to bother debating it.
Saying this I have noticed a trend in secular/ theist debates where the Atheist side will debate the Bible/ Qur’an/ belief and its fallacies whilst the Theist side will try their best to argue the science. As interesting as it can be to watch it would be interesting to see a Theist try to debate the legitimacy of their claims rather than attack science in general.
14. Did you know Christopher Hitchens was saved before death?
A: Fallacy: appeal to emotion. I am pretty sure this was thrown in here to make me angry and make me say something you might use to trip me up. Christopher Hitchens was one of the finest minds of our time. I am sure his work will last the ages. As for being ‘saved’- again, evidence.
15. Are you aware Ray Comfort disproved atheism with a banana?
A: That depends on your definition of ‘proved’. I am going to say this is a combination of an ambiguation fallacy (‘proved’) and an appeal to authority (which would also go for other creationists brought up in these questions, like Kent Hovind).
First off, you and I need to be specific about what the term ‘proved’ means. For me it would mean that scientists around the world studied the evidence of his claim and by a majority came to the same conclusion. That would be some serious headline news.
Secondly, an appeal to authority is usually a good thing in debate as it allows the opinion of experts to weigh in on it. However, you really need be careful and study the level of authority a person has in their field. Ray Comfort is, in mine and I’m sure many people’s opinion, not an authority on Evolution, Biology, Geology, etc. etc. In fact, I’d go so far as to say he isn’t much of an authority on theology if he uses a banana!
Lastly, I hope you and Ray Comfort are aware that bananas were specifically made the way they are today by humans through selective breeding? That became a sort of (not so) natural selection. Google it.
16. Why do people laugh at evolutionists?
A: I was not aware they do. I assume for the same reason that 98% of scientists (including leading biologists, geologists, astrologists, cosmologists, historians, etc. etc.) do not take creationism seriously, which opens it to ridicule around the world.
17. How did the planets form when the Big Bang explosion all of a sudden happen? After all, you don’t see round objects form when something blows up.
A: There is a lot of misunderstanding in that question. (Personal Incredulity fallacy.) The planets formed long after the Big Bang. The early universe was filled with formless atoms that gradually started clumping together and, through a steady process of quantum mechanics and then gravitational pull started forming astral bodies, eventually forming the ones we see today.
I can’t help but add in a Tu Quoque here (yes, I know, but I think it’s relevant.) How did the human race come into existence when at one point (according to Genesis) the only people on Earth were Cain, his mum Eve, his dad Adam and his brother’s corpse? Who did he mate with to conceive the next generation whilst avoiding long lasting genetic problems in humans? Remember, according to your book they were the only people in existence.
18. If evolution is real, how can it explain gravity, angular momentum, human emotions, and why we worship God?
A: Evolution doesn’t concern itself with any of those. It simply focusses on the development of life over time. It doesn’t affect gravity, which has its own theory (The theory of gravity), or angular momentum (pretty sure that’s mathematics and physics). Human emotions are the domain of psychology but it’s easy to see how our survival as a species would depend on how we treated each other as a group, so emotions and a common focal point (religion) would have contributed to that.
God is more the domain of Theology which in itself can be said to have evolved over time- Judaism used to be a polytheism until someone decided that one God must be better than all the other (Jehovah) and eventually all the other gods were just forgotten. If ancient Greece, early Rome or the Vikings got here instead, we’d be worshipping Zeus, Jupiter or Odin instead of God (all four of them do look very similar when you think about it)
19. How did pond scum make living things appear out of nowhere?
A: Personal Incredulity fallacy. Honestly, we do not know yet. Science is still working on that. That doesn’t remove the legitimacy of Abiogenesis (or even Panspermia for that matter) - it isn’t too far a stretch of the imagination once you understand that we are essentially made up of things common to this planet- we are 80% water, carbon-based, with elements of iron, calcium, and various other squares on the periodic table of elements which can be found, inorganically, across the planet. The only two things that make us and this planet unique (as far as we can tell right now) is Protein and Chlorophyll, once we’ve figured that out we’ll have a better idea of how life began to form here.
20. How can evolution be true if we don’t see pocket watches or airplanes form by themselves?
A: Personal Incredulity (again). How can God be true if planes or pocket watches don’t appear magically after 7 days with zero human input? Planes and pocket watches are inorganic and were made specifically by humans with a purpose in mind. To assume the same with the universe and all life is demonstrating a narrow view of the subject.
21. Did you know that dinosaurs and man lived together?
A: Citation. You’re making a claim and need to provide evidence to back it up. Show me one example of dinosaur fossils being found in the same sediment as human fossils and I will genuinely start to question what I have been taught. So far, I haven’t seen a single one.
22. If evolution is real, then why do caring people like Rick Santorum argue that it must be challenged in the classroom?
A: I’m going to label this question as another appeal to authority/ emotion case. Just because something ‘feels’ right or good doesn’t make it true. Drugs feel good but I don’t take what a drug user says as gospel. People can still be caring but mistaken.
However in this case I do agree it needs to be challenged on every level. It is only when a theory is challenged we can see the strength of it. The theory of evolution has only lasted as long as it has because it has withstood scrutiny from the finest scientific minds over the last 150 years. It has changed with new evidence in that time but nonetheless still remains the best explanation we have for how life has arrived at this point today.
I am an atheist because I put both the anthropomorphic God and the Bible under scrutiny and I didn’t even need my scientific knowledge to see the various problems with them. God and creationism form at best a poor hypothesis.
Before leaving this point I would also like to add the notion of a black-or-white fallacy. It’s being implied throughout these questions that the only two options are either evolution or creationism, which isn’t necessarily the case. By implying that these are the only two options you are trying to add legitimacy to creationism by ignoring any other options that may exist. I still maintain that evolution is the best explanation for how life came to be the way it is today, but why are you ignoring all of the other creation stories in the world? Hinduism, Buddhism and various other faiths have their own claims, what makes them any less legitimate than creationism?
23. Why are youtube atheists like AronRa and Thunderf00t afraid to debate Ray Comfort?
A: This is the same question as the Richard Dawkins one. However I am familiar with Thunderf00t and AronRa and can tell you there are plenty of youtube videos that put their point across. They probably feel they don’t need to debate creationists anymore until their original videos are satisfactorily debunked.
24. Why do we celebrate Christmas if Christianity is not real?
A: I’m going to tentatively label this as a No True Scotsman fallacy. Saying that only Christians should celebrate Christmas is inappropriately glossing over all the people who celebrate Christmas who aren’t Christian.
Christmas was originally a pagan holiday celebrating the winter solstice. It’s in no way solely for Christians. It makes for very interesting reading if you want to look it up. Anyone can get behind the idea of people coming in from the cold and sharing a meal with their family, religious or otherwise. Easter was also about sex and fertility (the rabbit and the eggs anyone?) where I come from its only the religious who try to make it about them.
25. If creationists can’t do science, then why does the website Answersingenesis have proven science articles from creationists that do science?
A: Ambivalence Fallacy (again). Again, science is a very broad term covering many different areas and the term ‘proven’ is very ambiguous. If you said peer reviewed scientific journals from established experts in the fields of Biology and Geology instead, I’d pay more attention. But since we both know that isn’t the case here I’ll accept that the computer science/ theology majors that usually add the ‘Dr’ part to the names of the authors who write these articles make what you say in this question ‘technically’ true (except the ‘proven’ part). In this case it is a question of authority. I choose to listen to the experts of the fields required (biology, physics, etc.) instead of the people with a ‘Christian Science’ degree, especially since its biased groups like answersingenesis who usually hand out those degrees anyway.
26. If evolution is true, then why can’t white people compete to be good in basketball like black people? After all, white people can’t jump!
A: Personal Incredulity. I would also add the begging the question fallacy and possibly red herring to this as well. You’re trying to frame the question in such a way that the answer you want is in the question- and moving the argument in a direction that doesn’t add to the conversation but instead to a place where you think I won’t come out well. Also, I’m fairly certain there’s exceptions to this rule- I’m pretty sure there’s some good white basketball players out there. I come from the UK where basketball isn’t such a big deal so I have no background knowledge on this, so I could be wrong.
However, saying this, it isn't ridiculous to imagine that any general variations between races may be due to different environments that favoured different traits (Africa is different to Europe, Asia to America, etc.) I am no expert in this, so I won't comment further.
27. Where do you decide to fit God in your everyday life if you don’t believe in him?
A: Begging the question/ Burden of Proof. You’re assuming your position is the natural stance to take and putting me in a place where I have to justify my stance. Here it is anyway- I place God in the same place I fit Santa, the Tooth fairy, Leprechauns, Unicorns, etc. etc.
28. Why is Christianity the fastest growing religion if it’s false?
A: Citation. Last I heard it was Islam and non-belief that were rising. Even if Christianity were rising it doesn’t change the fact of whether it is true or not. A billion people could believe the Earth was square but I would still call them wrong.
29. Do you feel free to commit murders, homosexuality, go to strip bars, steal, commit adultery, and do other sins since you believe there is no God?
A: I will throw my hands up here and say that this is actually a good question to ask an Atheist. I did have to think about this one so well done on that. There’s nothing wrong in admitting your debating opponent has made a good point or asked a good question.
Whilst I do not believe in any moral absolutes in the universe I do believe in the Golden Rule: Do unto other as you would have them do unto you. It’s simply the best way to function in a society, hence why I don’t care about what people do in the bedroom or do with their bodies- it’s their choice so long as they leave me to make my own.
However if extreme circumstances dictated it necessary (i.e. my own survival) I can’t say I would be able to keep to that rule, but that’s only in extreme circumstances, and I would dare anyone to admit otherwise to that.
30. Why do the fossils say no to evolution?
A: Citation to your claim. Fossils don’t say anything. They’re rocks. If you are hearing rocks talking I suggest you seek help. OK in all seriousness show me the evidence (remember, from peer reviewed scientific journals from unbiased geologists across the globe) and I would start to question what I know. Simply asserting that fossils say no to evolution doesn’t make it so.
31. Why did Darwin admit that how the eye formed is impossible?
A: Again, Citation to your claim. I’d certainly be interested in knowing if this was true. Even if it was though it is true that Darwin had a lot of issues with his theory. He spent the rest of his life working on it.
When a Theory is first made it rarely remains the same in the face of new evidence. Over 150 years it has been fine-tuned with new evidence so that the current model fits best with what we know. One solid piece of evidence to counter evolution would throw the whole thing into question. Darwin wouldn’t recognise the theory of evolution today.
We have since been able to explain the eye and have even found species that still have remnants of an eye in early evolutionary forms as well as species that have evolved to not need eyes as much as they used to. We have seen how the eye can change over time.
32. Where did everything come from if there is no God?
A: The God of the Gaps argument. ‘We don’t know the answer, so God.’ In short, we don’t know either, just like you. Current science can only take us back to a moment after the big bang. There are a lot of ideas floating around at this stage and I for one look forward to what we find next.
I’m personally drawn to the ‘Big Cheese’, ‘Multiverse’ and 'One Electron Universe' theories which sound promising as well as exciting. None of this requires that a supreme intelligent being started it all- and even if it did, it would then beg the question of where that supreme intelligent being came from.
33. If there is no God, then why do we have laws that govern us, such as speed limits?
A: Because society had to function. I don’t look at society as something formed around the collective worship of deity but rather as a collective agreement that this is the best way for us to get along, rather than hitting each other with clubs.
I’m curious about this now, thought: what is the Bibles stance on speed limits?
34. Do you know where you are going when you die?
A: Another good question to ask! These types of questions are genuinely making me think about my stance and if you want to convert me someday then that is what you need to do.
I personally want to be cremated and placed in a biodegradable urn with a tree seed that could feed off the nutrients in my ashes. That way I could help towards keeping the planet clean and not just be some boring old gravestone. Those are creepy. I’d probably visit passed loved ones more if graveyards were vibrant forests rather than morbid tombstones everywhere.
As for the next life I don’t know and frankly I’m not too concerned- I’m in the same boat as every living thing that has ever existed, currently exists and will ever exist. Not existing isn’t something to be scared of- it didn’t bother me before I was born!
Having said that, however, if I were brought before God (if!) for judgement when I die, then it would depend. If I were judged by the quality of my actions and words in life, then God would be just and I should have nothing to fear (the golden rule, remember?)
If, however, I am to be judged based on how many times I exclaimed I loved God, attended church and never questioned dogma, then that is an unjust God who isn’t worth worshipping and I will happily walk into hell with the moral high ground.
If there is no God, then I will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of my loved ones.
I thank Marcus Aurelius for this observation.
35. Why do we not act like monkeys if it is true we came from monkeys?
A: Personal incredulity (Again!) I’m guessing these questions were written by different people because I’m genuinely impressed by some and slapping my head with the others. This is the latter.
Who says we don’t act like monkeys? I love climbing trees and eating bananas! I’m glad of my social circle and I groom a lot (well, as much as a bald man can!)
This question seems to imply that man is somehow superior to monkeys, but I think the implication is backwards- Theism and Creationism seem determined to prove that the universe is governed by an anthropomorphic being (one that has human characteristics- awareness, rules, jealous, loving, etc. etc.) but the way I see it the universe is completely indifferent to our existence- mountains don’t care if we fall off of them and water doesn’t care if it drowns us. The universe is what it is.
By comparison, primate species are incredibly anthropomorphic- they have tight family groups that they love, they can be jealous, they have rules, they have a mild awareness (enough to use tools and sign language) so it really isn’t that big of a stretch to think that we are distantly related, especially when you consider the fossil evidence!
36. Why do we display The Ten Commandments in the courtrooms if you say the Bible is not real?
A: Appeal to Authority. Which in this case doesn’t apply to me because I’m not in the US. I’m British and we don’t have that, I think. I’ve never been in a courtroom.
However, there is nothing wrong with a society remembering its roots- the UK has almost 1000 years of history and Christianity has been there throughout (remember- doesn’t make it true!)
As for the US system it has only been in recent times that these have popped up- America was founded on secular principles (something I feel we could do more with on both sides of the Atlantic) it’s nonsense that it was based on anything otherwise. Google any of the founding fathers and I’m sure you’d find similar sentiments, or even in the constitution. As a Brit I feel I shouldn’t need to have to tell you about the very piece of paper that cemented our loss in the war for independence!
37. Why should be it wrong to rape if God is not real?
A: Red herring/ appeal to emotion. Moral implications shouldn’t impact on a debate about the existence of God, Jehovah or otherwise. You’re attempting to frame the question in a way that provokes an emotional response and makes my stance appear less valid (but only appear!) (Again!)
As before- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It’s very simple. Rape in particular is a horrendous crime and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. As a society we have in place the means to severely punish those who rape as well as the social stigma attached to it (even in prison) to act as a deterant to would-be rapists. None of that, however, is dependant on the existence of a God.
38. Why is The Passion of The Christ very high on the Box Office?
A: Red Herring/ Bandwagon fallacy. This quiz is probably very old- again I have to reiterate that just because something is popular doesn’t make it true! At the time of writing Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time, it doesn’t mean I’m going to preach about how we need to find Pandora. I don’t believe in the force because Star Wars is so popular, or Hogwarts because of Harry Potter.
I would also argue that box office ratings have nothing to do about the existence of Jesus of the veracity of the Bible. I find it weird that I need to point this out.
39. How can America not be a Christian nation if there are way more churches than mosques?
A: Bandwagon (again). America can have as many churches, mosques and temples as it wants. It doesn’t change the fact that it was founded on secular principles. Calling America a Christian country marginalises the other religions who are protected by the constitution to practice their faith (or non-faith) freely.
I may also argue that there are more McDonalds in America than pizza huts- does that make America a burger nation?
40. How is the bible not real if it’s the most popular book read by man?
A: Citation for your claim and bandwagon fallacy (again! This is becoming a habit!) At the time of writing the most popular book by number of sales is the Qur’an- 3 billion copies sold compared to 2.5 billion Bibles. Again, I have to reiterate (and it’s getting repetitive) that just because something is popular doesn’t mean that it’s true.
41. How did the moon form?
A: Red Herring. What does this have to do with the existence of God? I’ll indulge anyway.
As I understand the moon formed when, some 4.5 billion years ago, a mars sized planet name Theia crashed into the Earth. The resulting chaos threw a lot of debris into Earth’s gravity that came together to form the moon.
Again, I’m curious to know where creationists think it came from.
42. Did you know that famous scientists like Newton, Sir Richard Owen, Einstein, Galileo, and Copernicus were creationists?
A: Citation needed/ Appeal to Authority. Newton, Galileo and Copernicus I can understand since they were from a time where that was the norm. It doesn’t impact their contributions to science or lessens their impact on history.
Sir Richard Owen I would find hard to believe since his only problem with the theory of evolution was that it was too basic and was likely to be more complex (in a way he was right) and Albert Einstein only ever referred to God in a pantheistic sense (i.e. he believed in a non-anthropomorphic God which is against what is taught in the Torah- he was from a Jewish background) I find it highly unlikely that he was a creationist.
Admittedly the first three I just applied common sense to and the other two I had to look up (I didn’t know who Sir Richard was) but a simple search brought me the answers there.
43. Why do we not see black people come from white people?
A: Personal Incredulity. Because, as I explained before, genetic traits get passed down from one generation to the next. They can’t leap from one person to the other without somewhere to come from.
I would again add begging the question and possibly red herring fallacies to this as well. Again, you’re trying to frame the question in such a way that the answer you want is in the question- and moving the argument in a direction that doesn’t add to the debate but instead to a place where you think I won’t come out well.
This is a very vague question, by the way. It seems to imply that black and white people can't produce offsring together, which is completely incorrect.
44. Why are fruitflies still fruitflies in the lab experiments if they are claimed to prove evolution?
A: Personal Incredulity. Because a fruitfly isn’t going to be able to evolve into something that isn’t a fruitfly in the short time we’ve been able to observe. Give it a few thousand generations and maybe you’ll be surprised.
45. Did you know that the Piltdown Man was a hoax used for Darwinist propaganda?
A: The composition fallacy! At least this question is different. The argument being that because one thing wasn’t true the whole argument shouldn’t stand up. We have so much evidence pointing to evolution that it is no longer a question of if it did happen but how did it happen. Mistakes are going to be made as it would be in all endeavours, scientific or otherwise, but it doesn’t change the facts.
46. Why do we not see frogs turn into birds?
A: Personal Incredulity. This question has been asked multiple times in different versions. Refer to my previous answers.
47. Why is Fox News dishonest if it is a network run by truthful Christians?
A: Citation for your claim/ Red Herring/ Begging the question/ Appeal to emotion. You would need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that all Christians are truthful. The Vatican wasn’t exactly honest in its dealings with the paedophile ring it tried to cover up! (A low blow I know!)
There are many examples of untruthful Christians as I am sure there are many examples of untruthful Atheists, Muslims, Buddhists as well as communists, capitalists, feminists, etc. etc. and etc. Christians don’t own a monopoly on honest or dishonest behaviour.
As for Fox news, I’m not so sure a network with such a heavy political bias can always be considered ‘honest’, I genuinely thought Bill O’Reilly was a comic character like Borat when I first saw him! The rest of the world can see Fox news footage and generally laughs at it- ‘Tide goes in tide goes out, you can’t explain that!’ Really?! (It’s the moon, by the way, Bill. Were you not taught that at school?)
Again I need to state, though, that the honesty/ dishonesty of a television channel, intentional or otherwise, doesn’t impact the debate on whether a God (or Gods) exist.
48. Why did Hitler fail to make a superior race if evolution is true?
A: Appeal to emotion. Subtly trying to equate Hitler and Evolution is another logical fallacy. In fact I’d also say it’s a combination of a loaded question mixed with a genetic fallacy. You don’t want me to answer it, you want me to say something that may be taken out of context and perhaps later use it for an ad hominem attack whilst also assuming that absolutely everything Hitler believed/ did makes it evil by association, like you did with the questions about race and rape. Adolf Hitler was a human being- he was also an artist, does that make art evil? He also breathed oxygen, are you really going to breathe the same air as him? He was also confirmed catholic…
As for the ‘Master Race’ thing I’d say that he may well have created a new breed of human if any eugenic plans he may have had carried on as they did. Thankfully he was stopped before we had a chance to find out.
As for eugenics in general, setting aside the moral implications of human breeding programs, we have today certain species (particularly dogs and, as mentioned above, bananas) that have been successfully bred into certain forms. The British bulldog wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t for selective breeding. The fact is as with any eugenics project it would take a lot longer than the time Hitler had to see the results. The Bulldog in particular was a process that started over a century ago and even with modern genetic science we are scratching the surface on what we might be able to do.
Of course, there is still a lot to discuss in terms of what would be immoral and what could be allowed- modern purebred Bulldogs are generally suffering with genetic problems no one could have foreseen when they first started breeding them, and history is unfortunately littered with royal families whose genetic flaws due to inbreeding were all too well known.
If you made it this far then thanks for reading- I feel I should mention, again, there were certain questions which I felt I should avoid (the race, Hitler and rape related ones specifically) but I got the sense the writers were trying to put people off of answering them, and I set out to answer the 'unanswerable', so I did to the best of my ability.

RFA + minor trio react to MC being a total party animal or just really hyper loool
Aww my first HC request. >\
Party Animal/Hyper MC
Yoosung:
•This poor boy, you wore him out so much.
•You would always plop yourself in his lap during his LOL matches and flash a smirk at him, while he grunted trying to push you off so he could focus.
“Let’s go out honey~” You would say.
“But we went out last night, and the night before that!” He whined.
So you simply crossed your arms over your chest and huffed. “I’ll just go by myself then..”
Before you could storm off, he had grabbed your wrist and let out a groan. “Fine, we can go out. But let’s not stay too long, please? I have class tomorrow.”
He would literally do anything to make you happy, he’s too pure. Just make sure you give him all the cuddles he needs when you guys get home late that night~
Jaehee:
•Loved how active and outgoing you were. It was a trait she admired about you and something she wished she had.
•I feel like she’d be able to keep up for a little while, not being able to say no to spending time with you.
•But would eventually burn out and explain there are nights where she simply can’t do it. She feels terrible about it but it’s the honest truth.
•So instead of going out into public, y'all just stay home and get turnt to broadway music lol. That was enough for the both of you as long as you were with each other.
Zen:
Despite his hectic rehearsal schedule, Zen loved to go out! It gave him a chance to flaunt his looks when he wasn’t on stage.
Sometimes if you guys were out at a nightclub, you guys were the life of the party.
Just the ultimate couple tbh.
But there are times where he would rather just stay in with you.
Sometimes you guys would throw your own parties in your guy’s apartment with just you two. Playing Just Dance, doing karaoke, and stuffing your face with food.
You guys would even create your own little musicals.
He also loves to go out on a private date with just you and him, because the paparazzi can be too much sometimes. 
You two just always have fun together, whether you’re out in public or at home. He loves your energy.                                                                         
Jumin:
This CEO isn’t much of a partier, but he loves to travel with you. 
Questioned your sanity at first. “How is she always so..energetic?”
Nevertheless, there would be some clubs he would go to you with, but would much rather enjoy the nightlife with you only.
Most of the time you would take him to fun “commoner” activities..like rollerskating, or a carnival!
He grew to actually really like rollerskating? I feel like he would be a pro at it, and just be gliding across the rink like it was nobody’s business lmao.
Oh, and when you introduced him to cat cafe’s.. his mind was blown and his heart was full.
“I must open one up in Elizabeth’s name.. it could have rollerskating as well. I could develop rollerskates for cats so they could do it with the guests.”
JAEHEE RUN
This guy loves you and loves exploring and trying new things out with you!!
Seven:
This guy honestly loved to party as much as you did, when he wasn’t being a distant little shit.
Just like Zen, you two would be the center of attention I feel like. You both were just obnoxious and hyperactive.
Y’all usually caused a scene wherever you went because of your shenanigans. 
Once you guys got kicked out of Walmart for doing the floor is lava challenge and Seven jumped into the thing that holds all the bouncy balls sending them flying everywhere, while you jumped onto a stack on packaged toilet paper making the whole thing topple down.
Seriously guys what the fuck is wrong with you we can never take you anywhere without causing a mESS
YOU GUYS JUST ALWAYS HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE OKAY 
AND HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH FOR IT BECAUSE HE NEVER HAD ANYONE IN HIS LIFE HE COULD DO THIS WITH
BECAUSE THEY WOULD JUST SMACK HIM UP HIS HEAD
OR TASER HIM (VANDERWOOD PLS)
BUT YOU JUST GO ALONG WITH IT!!
JUST THANK YOU FOR BEING THIS GUY’S HAPPINESS AND BEING AS WEIRD AS HE IS CAUSE HE DESERVES IT. 
Saeran: 
The last party he went to he was fucking brainwashed.
This little guy would be so anxious oh GOD, please be gentle and go easy on him please.
Sometimes your hyper-ness would get on his nerves and he would give you one of his ~death~ glares in hopes to get you to stop. 
But you don’t and you just keep on rambling and being a weirdo.
How did I fall for someone like this she’s just like my brother if not even worse why do i do this to myself-
At the parties you did get him to go to, he would just sit in the corner with a dead face like the emo child he is.
A drink in one hand, a cigarette in the other as he watches you bust out ridiculous dance moves in front of him in an attempt to lighten his mood, but all you got was an exasperated sigh.
“imissmyreligiouscult”
sAE RAN PLEASE
When he’s had enough he would say “Let’s go.” in a blunt voice and if you refused he would pick you up and throw you over his shoulder and exit the building, ignoring all your complaints. 
To be honest, he would much rather just cuddle with you and talk about random shit.
He enjoys private intimate moments with you where everything is just calm because his life has been so hectic from day 1. 
He thought you were adorable and loved how full of life you were.
He would much rather just be in your arms or vice versa.
He would never admit that tho.
little btich
V:
When you said that you liked to go out..he didn’t know you meant..nightclubs and wild parties. 
I really don’t think you guys would ever go out and party like that!! Maybe once in awhile but definitely not frequently.
And you would be perfectly fine with that because this guy is the love of your life alright.
Instead of going out, you guys would like to bicycle together! (THIS IS IF HE COULD SEE OK OMG IMAGINE V TRYING TO RIDE A BIKE IF HE WAS BLINDJKS)
You guys would bike around the park or to the zoo or whatever!
Have little picnics with each other beneath a cherry blossom tree and feed the geese in the lakes. Despite the sign that says DON’T FEED THE GEESE.
Would take many pictures of you and the scenery. 
You would also do mini photoshoots of him!! He always says he likes to capture art BUT YET HAS NEVER TAKEN A SINGLE PICTURE OF HIMSELF WTF
This dude loves to spend every second of his days with you, would often take you on his trips~
Vanderwood: 
This guy wasn’t going out to no damn party where there would be drunk people, sweat and vomit everywhere ok. 
HE WASN’T HAVING IT.
Only time he would go out is to get discounted cleaning supplies from Walgreens-
“Wait, what?”
“Bowling?”
“what is that wha t”
So you take him to a nice bowling hangout
Uh MC why do I have to change my shoes???? they don’t go with my leopard print. im not taking off my gloves either its not happening
omg shut up and just do it vanderbaby
he’s scoffing as he puts on the shoes, upset that it’s ruining his ~style~ 
“So..I have to slide this ball at the pins and knock them down?”
“Can I pretend the pins are Seven?”
After telling him yes he’s literally chucking the ball down the damn aisle
is petty AS FUCK WHEN IT MISSES AND GOES STRAIGHT OUT OF THE LANE
WHAT THE HELL I CAN SHOOT A GUN BUT I CANT FUCKING BOWL 
keeps his cool tho, pretends like it’s not even his fault, makes up excuses
“it’s rigged, they slicked the alley with some type of liquid so that’s why my balls keep missing.”
“did u just say… my balls”
“god MC shut up you act like you’re the best but honestly you suck just as much as i d-”
DID YOU JUST FREAKING GET A STRIKE WTF ALKJFKL
Gets super competitive suddenly, and eventually once he gets the hang of it he beats your ass then pretends like he wasn’t even phased
like no he wasn’t even trying man it was just natural, he didn’t become a special agent for nothing
like he would subtly rub his win in your face and console you like you were ACTUALLY upset 
“it’s okay maybe next time honestly i wasn’t expecting to win im just as shocked as you, ya know”
god vanderwood just shut up and take me home
anyways he doesn’t mind going out with you, he enjoys it actually but he wont admit that to you either

OH, ALL THIS LOVE CRAP.
Valentines day was fuckin' magical this year. *insert sarcasm.* I cried a whole bunch, blasted a bunch of "fuck love" memes to the timeline, made an awesome 60 second vocal cover of a lesbian love song, and took a depression nap. Topped all that off with not being able to find my god damn keys for over 2 hours and having a panic attack over it only to find out they fell off the counter into russells boot. Got some of the basement organized and listened to shitty music. mostly chiodos. Whatever. Either way. Realized today alot of things such as "Sometimes you just need to be rescued." Sometimes you are blind to situations, and sometimes a few outside sources need to come in like a wrecking ball and blow your fucking mind to help you realize what the hell you are doing to yourself in your situation. People to slap your ass back into reality instead of just letting you setteling and dealing with less than you deserve. Not saying I was the greatest, because sometimes I was just plain crappy. But everyone has their days. Just not 3 years worth of them. The second thing I learned was that despite taking a hiatus almost completely from music that I haven't lost my pipes. I definitely need to practice breathing control and get my pitches under control... But I blew my mind today. First time in over a year ive sat down and just fucking went to town on the thing I love most, and I nailed it. COULD HAVE done the entire song... But at risk of feeling like I was out of practice, I quit while I was ahead. And the third thing I learned was that sometimes its just best to take a step back and breathe and assess the damage that's really been done in a situation. Can you mentally get past all the crap and forgive? Can you work around the bullshit hand that you were dealt? Point is, I got a moon pie, a pair of heart socks, and a card from my son, and got some shit accomplished. Yeah, I might have bawled my eyes out, suffered from lovesickness and picked on a few people about their choice of romantic partner picking apart how their relationships probably sucked worse than my previous one... I guess if I'm being completely honest, I hope all you picture perfect couples and million roses people had the most awesome of days, but that's not what I'm after... I chased the picture perfect couple life for so long, trying to grasp every second that WAS positive... And in the end I realize you should capture "just because's" and not just the "picture perfect" ones. Candid laughter, sadness, etc. I was thinking, Theres no "bad hair day" photos like the ones my father took of my mother anymore, theres no photos like the ones of my father pulling me in a wagon on the beach... Its all staged. It's fake. The perfect angles, the retakes... The lighting adjusted and the filters placed juuusst right... Fuck that, I want to be photographed with sloppy ass makeup and terrible hair after waking up in someones arms after a night out with friends, laughing while I tell him the story of the night before, or even something as simple as reading a book. Just a fragment of time that my someone doesn't want to ever lose... And I realize the only time I was ever photographed at all was when it was a public event. Convienience to "be the perfect looking thing." I'm sick of fake. I'm long overdue to be swept off my fucking feet in the proper fucking fashion, and I'm almost 87.99999% repeated sure that my retard in tin foil is somewhere out there completely unaware I even exist, or knows I do and has no fucking idea how to approach me because of my fire memes and my amaze-balls personality and my clear lack of people skills, not to mention my super intimidating sense of humor and basic knowledge of nothing at all in particular. But I digress. I know what I offer. I'm dark and im damaged and thats okay. Coz honestly the best banana bread comes from the most darkened and buised bananas in the bunch. All I need to do now is figure out where to find another bruised banana and bam! Potential magic! Or at the very least a few damaged idiots that jive really well together making everything okay for eachother again, if only even just for a while. Forever is a crazy concept. I just want to be loved until my partners heart takes its last beat, and or vice versa. Sorry if my bitter ass ruined it for y'all... Literal first Valentine's day I've ever been single on sense I was like... 17ish... Lol. But sometimes you realize that you cant win every hand and that sometimes you just have to leave your blind behind and fold. Time to trade in my chips and move foreward. YEEHAW!
