What are your top 10 most favorite Sonic ships and why don't skip out any detail

Its about time i give my two cents on this tbh.

LETS GO!!

SONADOW:

I can't honestly say something that hasn't been said before, because this ship is massive. And for a good reason. Its just the epitome of all the things I like. Rivals to friends to lovers, red and blue, opposing yet complementary personalities, good chemistry, the list goes on and on.

Its just that mutual respect yet banter that always gets me. I've TRIED abandoning ship, trust me. But this ship was just tailored to my tastes, and i cant get rid of the brainrot so much that it has become a problem :)

2. TAILSMO:

MMMMM THE PAIN. I love this ship because its so innocent and cutsey while being absolutely depressing!

Cosmo deserved SO MUCH MORE than what she got, and to this day it makes me so sad we never got Sonic X season 4 in where Cosmo comes back as a robot or something. The seed she left at the end too! They Absolutely wanted to bring her back and i will forever be sad about it.

3. SURGEAMY:

I say it all in this post, but in a nutshell, Surge needs someone as positive as Amy to heal.

4. WHISPANGLE

And they were roomates

Ever since they got introduced i just KNEW the artists were gonna ship these two. This ship is almost as good as canon tbh. Love me some sapphic girlies.

5. SILVESPIO:

Another rare pair that is just SO GOOD.

I started shipping it after that one Sonic IDW issue, and it just stuck. Silver being overwhelmed and Espio just calming him is so domestic fluff that i cant even-

6. VECTILLA

They were adorable in Sonic X. Also Vector would be a cool ass dad to Cream AND Charmy.

7. KNUXOUGE

I know ppl are gonna burn me at the stake for ranking it so low, and it probably should go a bit more up, but yeah, i like Knuxouge. Its not like my OTP, but as a bg ship, its great!

8. SONAZE:

Just the duality of the same concept but diferent attitude about it.

They're both guardians on their own way, but while Blaze thinks its a burden Sonic Thinks its a blessing. The parallels are just YUMMY. And also Blaze deserves a golden retriever bf.

9. SONALLY

They were canon, okay? When i was little i remember loving them together while reading the archie comics. They were so sappy and Sonic was OOC but like, they made me happy. And that hasn't faded yet.

10. BUNNTOINE

Again, same case as Knuxouge. I like it a lot, but its not like i'll lose my sleep over them. They are a cute canon couple!

Here we go!

Super sorry for the late reply!

Thanks for the ask!

ppl are always like ooooh mark is sooo evil and petty and deserves to burn in the withering frost of hell for all he thinks about hatecrimes in his spare time meanwhile mark is on instagram scrolling through #animals and liking every cute dog photo he comes across and sharing cringey memes reposted from ifunny to his story with a billboard top 100 pop song from 2012 as bg music and his recent emoji list is 🫶🐶👠💃💅🤳🖕🏻💝🌸🌈💫

Please sir may I have some more? (Information about your other Tavs) 🥺

Uhoh! you unlocked: my Tav(& Durge) masterpost!

Orrin(unfortunate name from early beta)! Spore Druid/Lore Bard. Duergar Entertainer. Wizard Seducer. Anti-god faction leader. Sold as a baby to the surface, grew up in a circus where she was raised most her childhood as Totter the dancing badger(resident druid decided it was easier to train a kid in wildshape than train an actual animal). She is here to play the drums & get what she deserves.

Kiare(old d&d fav). Divination Wizard. Halfling Guild Artisan. Sheltered/tortured romantic. Raised to be a diviner for the benefit of a Baldur's Gate noble. Has a facial burn & missing a finger from her time there. Now also has Volo's eye! (matches her bf) cursed with knowledge of all the Durge impulses of her friend Harmony.

Miscellanea(originally a tielfing warlock). Ancient oath Paladin. Gith'yanki Charlatan. Hides her face & pretends to be a 'swamp elf' to blend in with Faerun. A giant softie who knows little of Gith culture as she was raised by an adventuring party who found her egg. Puppy love with Karlach, absolutely sickening.

Heen Aberdon(howl's moving castle ref). Monk. Beefy Half-orc. Noble. Oblivious to Halsin's horniness. Born & raised in Baldur's Gate by an aristocratic Orcish family(haha commentary on imperialism being the true savagery) Boxed & fenced as a hobby but now has to fight for real. Snobbish but good-hearted. She's in for one hell of a gap year.

Beryl(I reuse this name often). Fae Warlock. Dwarf. I can't remember her bg. Mean but fun alpha-bitch. Loves legal trickery & a warlock patron in the making herself. Spent undetermined amount of time in faewild before traipsing into sword's coast for her patron's whims. Saw Lae'zel & immediately vowed to babygirl-ify her.

Sirpa 'Sippy' Maplebur(old d&d but heavily reworked). Rogue. Halfling. Evil Durge. Even without her memory she is here to kill & fuck her way back to her 'business partner' Enver Gortash(his fate undecided). Beautiful & trustworthy persona used to lure people in. Cult leader style.

Dolour. Cleric of Ilmater. Halfling. Good Durge. Suffering her way through amnesia & redemption. Looks cruel but will cry of you're mean.

Coleoptera. Wild magic Sorcerer. Buff Drow. Soldier. Easily manipulated & future mindflayer. Raised to be an obedient daughter & it backfired bc now she doesn't know how to make her own decisions. Started as a joke but now she is the monsterfucker.

Bonus! Character who's name I can't remember. A Tav who looks identical to their Guardian. Used for multiplayer games.

I looked at it on genius and the note for that line said that somebody told a joke about him [the singer] and they used to smoke "in the blacklight"

alligator is The song ever to me guys it's so dark but man. it's the song. hrnggh.

Becky Downie has missed out on an Olympics before. In a 13-year gymnastics career, which has seen her win 14 major medals, she felt the heartbreak of watching a home Games from the sidelines in 2012. But this time is different, she says.

On Monday, her shock omission from the Tokyo 2020 team was announced, and she now says she can “never forget” the turmoil she endured from British Gymnastics during the selection process.  She also hints that her treatment was influenced by her decision to speak out at the culture of abuse within gymnastics, suggesting she was “made to feel not welcome” at the sport’s training hub at Lilleshall after going public.

In an exclusive interview with Telegraph Sport, Downie describes the last few weeks as "the hardest of her life". She had thought things could not get worse than 2020: Olympic postponement, the fallout after she joined whistleblowers to speak publicly about what she described as "normalised" abusive training environments, and her father's time in intensive care battling Covid-19.

But last month tragedy struck when her brother Josh, 24, died suddenly from an undiagnosed heart condition while playing cricket. It was news Downie says "you never imagine receiving". To make things worse, she received the devastating call on the eve of the final Olympic team trial, while apart from her family at a hotel in Cardiff.

"I got a knock on the door after midnight, and my first thought was it must be drug testers," Downie says of that night. "I was half asleep, completely dazed. The coaches came in and when they told me [that Josh had died], I thought, am I actually dreaming this? There are really no words to really describe it. There were a lot of tears. It was the longest journey of my life, getting back to be with my family in Nottingham."

Sat in her living room in Nottingham now, Downie still has a look of disbelief on her face as she describes the events of the last few weeks. Condolence cards are placed around the room to mark how raw and recent her family's grief remains. Mounting more pain on top of that seems unimaginable, but the blows have kept coming.

Just two months ago, she was on top of the world after executing what she believes is a world leading uneven bars routine. At 29, she felt in the form of her life. When she posted a video of her routine online, major champions were applauding her in the comments, even the legendary Nadia Comaneci. Downie believes the routine put her in contention for a gold medal.

But last Friday her appeal was denied, and British Gymnastics confirmed she would not go to Tokyo. It is less than two years since she won a stunning silver medal at the World Championships - a competition that counted as a trial for the Olympic squad - but somehow she has failed to make even the three reserve spots for Tokyo. Though Downie has wished all of the gymnasts selected the best, she remains baffled by her exclusion - especially because she “met all the criteria” and her trials scores put her top of the rankings in bars.

British Gymnastics have defended the decision, saying they are focusing on medals in the team event, and that Downie's specialism in bars posed a "risk" to this strategy. But it has caused uproar, with a petition calling for an independent review of the selection process receiving 25,000 signatures in the last five days. Beyond selection though, Downie says what hurts the most is the way she believes the decision was made and how she was treated in the process.

After missing the final trial due to bereavement, Downie and sister Ellie were given another opportunity by British Gymnastics to compete for their spot on the team 10 days later. Though Ellie elected not to do so, Downie made the brave decision to take up the offer.

"I know that Josh would want me to, he wouldn't want me not to try," she says. What followed though, was a process where she alleges British Gymnastics lacked "any element of compassion".

They did not allow her to compete at her home gym in Nottingham or at the national centre at Lilleshall. British Gymnastics then rejected a venue she and her coach proposed and instead suggested she return to Cardiff - a six-hour round trip from her home and the very place she had learned of her brother's passing.

"That's the part that hurt me most. I refused. Why would I want to go back there? I don’t think that should have been asked of me at all."

Another venue was confirmed instead, and though British Gymnastics emphasised their intention to replicate as closely as possible the environment that the other gymnasts had competed in in Cardiff - for the benefit of fairness - Downie says it was her that was put at the disadvantage.

New obstacles included British Gymnastics failing to book her training slot at the chosen venue - a basic thing that all of the athletes had for their trial - which saw her make a 90-minute trip and have to plead with the Leisure Centre to remain open. She also had an existing dispute with the governing body because they refused to allow her to use equipment at the trial which more closely resembled that being used in Tokyo. As a bars specialist, this meant she couldn't perform her highest difficulty routine. "It's like telling Lewis Hamilton to get in a Ferrari and drive - in a sport of small margins, and high performance, equipment is always a factor."

Actually competing in the trial, while still reeling from the death of her brother, was "the hardest thing I ever had to do", and she describes national coaches walking past her wordlessly while she “sobbed uncontrollably”. But afterwards, she and Ellie walked out of the gym with "not a doubt in our mind" that she had done enough.

"If I can perform in that environment, which was harder than any Olympic final would ever be, I’m really proud," she says.

But, according to British Gymnastics, it was not enough. Knowing now that the team event was the priority in selection, she believes her exclusion from the team was already a foregone conclusion before her trial.

British Gymnastics "categorically" denies the suggestion that the trial was a "tick box" exercise, and say they trust that selection was decided purely on merit, but Downie is unconvinced. To add insult to injury, she was given a 48-hour deadline to appeal the decision, falling on the day of her brother's funeral.

"It makes me feel sick that they treated me like that," she says. "It hurts me to know the things I had to miss. Picking the flowers for the funeral whilst I was away trialling, a tribute for my brother at his cricket club, which happened when I wasn’t even given a proper training slot. I missed that, for what? There’s so much that was hurtful.

"I'll never forget that. And no amount of apologies will ever make that okay."

Downie and her sister were two of the only current British gymnasts to speak out about abuse in the sport last year, which triggered an independent review commissioned by UK Sport and Sport England. When she was left out of the squad on Monday, lobbying group Gymnasts for Change called it a "sinister warning" being sent by British Gymnastics to whistleblowers.

Does Downie think this outcome is a result of her speaking out? "It's very hard to say... But I definitely know that there has been a big behavioural shift towards me and Ellie, since that point, from certain individuals, decision makers. We’ve gone down to Lilleshall and been made to feel not welcome.

"I have been told by a person of significant importance - in the national team environment - that a lot of coaches do not agree with what we've done. Maybe I did open my mouth a year too soon, I'm not sure. If this is the sacrifice [an Olympics] then this is the sacrifice, change needs to happen. I’m proud of what I did and I don’t regret it."

Tokyo was meant to be her final bow, but now Downie has spent her first week in months out of the gym.

Downie is adamant though that she is not done with gymnastics. Despite the heartache and hurt caused, her love for the sport remains strong.

"It’s hard for me to think, can I be selected for a team ever again? I do know I want to carry on, because I want to show that routine. I haven’t done two years of work to sit on the sofa. There’s a World Championships this year. They certainly don’t have control over my final chapter. I know I want to compete again on my terms."

But the dream of Olympic gold is gone: "I genuinely believe that we could have done it. I think I had a shot at being the first female Olympic champion Britain has had in gymnastics."

“Remember when I was once somewhat relevant?

Yeah, me neither.”

[starbiology]

Would you ever consider doing a meta on lqq? Especially what you mean by his morals?

Sure!!

Im not the best with character analysis so please understand this is just me having fun talking about Lang Qianqiu bcz I love him and I love TGCF

!SPOILERS!

i think where most of the early mismatch between the portrayal of Lang Qianqiu's personality and his actions is due to the story being told from Xie Lian’s perspective. Xie Lian is a VERY unreliable narrator which is important to keep in mind when really looking at any characters in the book. Makes it extra fun!

A lot of readers either miss, or just nearly miss the fact that Lang Qianqiu buried Xie Lian alive, stabbing his chest through with a dowel to make sure he couldn’t escape the coffin. It’s purposeful that its a very easy detail to miss. Throughout the novel Xie Lian refuses to acknowledge his past if he believes he was at fault  and deserved whatever mistreatment. 

In this case it leads to an introduction of Lang Qianqiu as this naïve and rash character who is friendly and a little dumb, the reader at this point does not know that this guy literally buried the main character alive so he seems very sincere. He continues in the Ghost City chapters to be played up as this kind of character. He even cant stand the thought of not upholding justice to the point where he blows their cover condemning the ghost city residents in a rant...

“This hellish place reeks of smoke and corruption, and it’s filled to the brim with demonic chaos. What scum is gathered here, committing what kinds of deeds? Running a place like this, none of you have a single trace of humanity!” (lol)

But then he quickly doubles back shortly after that if Hua Cheng is Xie Lian’s friend then XL can’t ever lie to HC “one should never deceive a friend”. It’s a pretty freaking hilarious switch in mood that gives you whiplash. The only reason he changed his tune on HC is bcz the other god he “just met” is supposedly friends with him. That’s really it, it’s not like anyone said “oh no HC doesnt ACTUALLY accept cruel bets”, because well he does and so LQQ just simply accepts it because he decides friendship is more important than his godly stuff. Its weird but you assume that hes just kind of silly.

So alright, he values Justice and Righteousness but over that, friendship and loyalty. Even more than his roles of a god.

He finds out that XL was his past teacher who he believes killed his family and has this huge confrontation then chases XL down and then has a bigger confrontation where hes crying and yelling all proudly at XL that he’ll never become like XL. 

Then we get into what Ill call “Post- I found out the friend I thought I had as a mortal 300 some years ago deceived me” aka “LQQ goes back on everything he just passionately cried about”

This is my fav LQQ, and takes up basically the rest of the book until the very end. 

He starts it by cleaving Qi Rong in half then boiling him alive snapping at XL that he should be allowed to make him suffer when XL yells out to him. Its shockingly gruesome, but i wouldnt say “hes not acting like himself”. I dont think thats really fair due to the fact that he challenged XL to a duel to the death despite already having buried him alive. He already has done acts of cruelty purely for the sake of revenge, its not justice. He’s very much acting like himself, just even more aggressive.

He continues throughout the book in the bg trying to find QR’s ashes to truly kill him. Theres a point where everyone is looking for Jun Wu and I truly believed when he yelled out “found him!” he meant Guzi, who we assume was just burned to death, but no he drags Qi Rong’s body out and tries to kill him lol

Its only at the point when the rest of Qi Rong’s ghost fire disappears and LQQ isn’t even sure that hes the one that actually killed him does he realize he’s fucked up. He didnt do anything to get his family back he just killed another person, one who has a son who mourns him just the same as he with his own parents (just know im sitting there like 👌oooh chefs kiss love love love this circle narrative). 

And now hes suddenly responsible for his obsessive vengeance and the harm it caused, taking in Guzi and (working on) restoring Qi Rong’s soul. It’s only at this part that I think his character changes from what he was like at the start. That whole “out for justice” early Lang Qianqiu and “out for bloody revenge” Lang Qianqiu were one in the same, its not til he puts aside his vengeance that his character changes.

Okay tldr,

I love Lang Qianqiu very much. hes a crazy ass bitch who became even more crazy ass bitch but he gets a pass on his crazy from the gods because he seems nice and a little naive when really he decides whats Just is what hes feeling at the moment and will kill u. At the very end of the book is when his character changes and its v v good.

Alice essentially prepping Mary to attack Ryan. Yes green brain and Poison Ivy buns and green eyes. Gotta get in on that sunlight. | Yes Poison Mary and Alice just evil smirking.

SHE TOOK OUT THE FAILSAFE AND THE AI. “You don’t need him. You said it yourself. You don’t have PTSD. You don’t need a team doctor, and you certainly don’t need your daddy telling you what you can and can’t do.”

Mary going off on each of them! THEY DESERVE

Damn, she really did fuck up Luke’s shoulder.

Two flannel day for Ryan.

AND HERE WE ARE, AT THE HOLD UP, WITH Sophie and Renee. GOD, I love being right. The clink, the long eye contact, MAKING OUT AGAINST THE WALLS OF THE BAR. I absolutely love it here.

“Jada, it’s Ryan. I need your help.”

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow.” ALICE getting to have the line, like I said.

We love an electric car.

Run that shit back.

[danyok]

HALF?! kijoon is hella brazen like wtf my dude. i love hakyung's mother though??? she looks ready to fight and i'm right there with her

yaaaaaaaaaas the slap and telling him like it is. so here for all of this. and yes, admitting her partial fault in the relationship falling apart is good and necessary - but that doesn't give him the excuse to have cheated on her or trying to scam her out of money repeatedly.

af'dafjlj SIWOO STOLE THE BOUQUET OMG I LOVE THAT. i thought he had brought one or something but this is so much better lmao

"she picks the most terrible things. maybe that's why she picked him" al;dfjakfj i cAN'T what a burn omggggg

"he failed his driver's test five times" "i passed it on the first try!" good job bbyyyyyyy. siwoo really is the best boy pls i love him

the cook/bartender guy though - love him in the bg all amused

EXCUSE ME, I did not expect to get roundhouse kicked in the face by feelings in this ??? "i thought he was proud of me" omggggg. hakhyung deserves so much better than someone who resents her so much. her guy should be proud of her and her accomplishments

Ishqbaaz Liveblog, E4: Anyone Between 40-59 is Shit

Previously: E3 “A really good premise”

Welcome! My liveblogging continues. Check out @australian-desi​ and @tellywoodtrash​ for more IB liveblogs (if you’re interested in this, TTji is my ultimate guru to lb-ing)!

So far I’m waiting and seeing if IB will break Kasautii Zindagi Kii 2, cause KZK2′s plot and non annoyance meter stood firm till 5 episodes. Until new Prerna decided to mega sacrifice herself and marriage a CREEP to save her family’s home. I noped out of that so hard after Prerna’s decision. 

And so far I’m pleasantly surprised by IB, and genuinely enjoying it plot-wise. 

Here’s the end of my yapping, now enjoy the liveblog!

Episode 4: “Anyone Between 40-59 is Shit”

- Deva Shree Ganesha continues. Till now Nakuul’s chin level is steady (later in the show his nose is permanently in the air - as noted by @ridzmystique​)

- Burning Man continues, literally. 

- Ganesh Ji also getting nice footage. 

- Where is the thunder in the bg music coming from? 

- Why ISN’T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING TO STOP THE FIRE? AH SHAKTI nearly went but was stopped by Tej. 

- Tej doing damage control. Ofc, classic Tej. Dramatic shot continues, Tej is dramatic AF.

- HEY WE DIDN’T SEE MUCH OF THE OBROS TRYING TO SAVE BURNING MAN. But we must assume cause Shivaay is a bit burnt. 

- Shivaay hurt his hand too? Shivaay, are we connecting too? Why? (My hand is hurt too)

- Ah, their first factory was burned but Dadaji decided to save the people instead of inventory #dadajirocks 

- Shivaay taking the full pressure of things, as usual. Oh, Nakuul is acting really well in this scene - what do they do with him later?

- Poor Dadiji, she’s so sad - she’ll get a heart attack one day.

- Good vaada to take from older brother, make sure bhaichara remains between all of them. 

- Sometimes it is so important to not be like your parents, if your parents are shitty. 

- Oh the Mandir is BEAUTIFUL. 

- DRAMATC TEJ APPEARS. 

- WTF ACQUIRING LAND BY FORCING THE FARMERS? Tej must like what crap the government is pulling right now. #farmersprotest (please check it out and give it the support and awareness it deserves)

- Good, thank God Shakti has some sense. Oh, a flawed man with a conscience - I really like Shakti, he’s very layered. 

- Tej is dramatic AF, Shakti is frickkin layered. These two bros are playing well against each other. 

- WHO? DADI AND HER TWO SONS FACE OFF. 

- YAY THIS POOL IS DEEPER THAN 1 FOOT! (Imagines Arnav swimming through this *cough*)

OK STOP DISTRACTING ME GUYS, LET’S FOCUS ON THE SHOW. 

ISS PY

ISHQBAAZ

WHERE THERE’S A POOL

AND NO OTHER THOUGHTS

YOU KNOW WHY I GOT DIVERTED, BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS, YES

ANYWAYS,

- Shivaay… wondering about family name even though someone died? 

- You know, what I like about this convo is that both Om and Shivaay are right in their positions. 

- Om: worried that a person died, Shivaay: reputation matters 

- Damn it, this was a good conversation.

- Ah Rudy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW THEY USED THE BABY BROTHER TO BREAK THE TENSION. The great thing of Rudy not smiling is that you know shit has hit the fan when that happened. 

- I don’t like how they’re treating Guggi - the way they tried to make her ‘comedic’ because she doesn’t fit the standard of beauty. I DO NOT like this. 

- FINALLY DADI! Finally have a word with your sons. 

- Just ignoring Pinky. Jhanvi, I Stan you as always. 

- Ah Rudy, I LOVE HOW SHIVAAY AND OM CALMED AND THE CRACKS HEALED BECAUSE OF RUDY BEING THEIR BABY. 

- HAHAHAH! Shivaay yelled Om for hitting Rudra by showing Rudy how to hit better! 

- HAHAHAH THEY’RE MAKING RAJNIKANTH OUT OF SHIVAAY! I LOVED how in one scene, without too much, showed how Rudy is the glue between two brothers who love each other but are ideologically different (and a difference that can cause a crack if not healed at the right time)

- DADI BRINGIN IN THE KASAM to make sure her two fishy sons tell the truth. Shakti told half truth, smart. WHY IS DADI SMILING? 

- OK dadi your sons have a LOT of issues, your sanskaar totes failed. 

- Okay, Anjali has transformed to Sahil (I guess that’s the kid’s name). Do we need to be orphans and have a limping sibling to be a television lead? (Taking a hockey stick and heading to my brother)

- Why is the landlady and constables standing in filmy line too?

- UFF THIS LANDLADY KA OVERACTING - OH WAIT SHE’S ACTUALLY ANIKA’S BUAJI BUAJI - DAMN WTF IS SHE. THIS BUAJI IS OVERACTING LIKE SHIT.

- Totally not interested in this character. 

- Dude Anika is anaath, isme tera kya jaata hai?

- Yes Anika, kill her. 

- Woah who’s manhandling Anika?

- THAT IS A FINE ACTRESS, please don’t make her do a shitty role. WTF? POLICE VIOLENCE. 

- Phirse gaana? These three bros should have an album after their name. In case their other businesses fail, this one should keep things floating :D *did I foresee something in this sentence, I might’ve*

- I would call thing cringy, if I didn’t do the same shit with my bro. We’re dramatic AF too, dancing to random songs all the time. 

- The police waali has personal vendetta against Anika. Why? 

- Ok, almost every 40-50s person in this show is terrible. 

- Ok how is this terrible Buaji and the police waali connected? Is this police person a relative or something to Buaji?

- Ok I love the kid, I love how much he loves Anika. 

- Ok, we have reason why Anika should be removed from this situation asap (already murdering Shivaay for the future marriage condition).

So it is interesting and I’m eager to see what all tropes would happen when Shivaay and Anika meet. In her words, I have very low tolerance for michimichi! For example: I (largely) hate the swami track, post marriage comedy, sheetal track, when Khushi gives ‘gyaan’ to either Lavanya or Arnav about marriage or anything and all that in IPK. 

But I’m also waiting to listen to O Jaana and see the staring, wind and all cause I’m a wee bit sucker for those. 

So goodnight and see you tomorrow!

Cannibal tribes put outsiders on the fire to make roast chicken.#movie #...

And they get captured by Garth and company and it's Trump he's held there in the tribe and BG arrives with Brad they all deserve each other but they catch BG and roast him a little not too much and his skin is all burned in his muscle a little bit and he heals up and Brad is sick and dying and Trump got wounded and they're not healing it they're sitting there with this idiot and I'm trying to say what do you want and he said I'm killing my own tribes after me and they weren't and they were going after the stuff they had later on my phone loses the two and he beat on a lot of people and some of them were gas and they wanted to revenge Trump was doing it too and Brad so the threatening for this stuff and they find them and they beat them to death and it's a little room and the others together are pretty big they killed them all it's the beginning of the end for Garth and his sister and after this incident the girl gets fired from social security and she's not releasing the check anyways and yeah there's two move from France pretty quick and you'll be surprised to move it and he thinks it's Putin and it's not true it's moved by Trump but to the Ukraine to threaten to get to the secrets and this drives people to go after the others and it gets moved from the Ukraine pretty quick and to Israel and that's a bad thing and just when you think it was worth now they get moved to Egypt and they do disappear from there and it is not funny what happens next and you people suffer all of you yeah you say it's him and that's fine

oooookayyyy hey perth 👋 i want weus to cover all the songs i like hope this helps. i want oneus to cover ggs in general but specifically badass/more dramatic gg concepts. without making them more masculine. like uhh dc odd eye? i do hear they have second gen/ vixx vibes but u’d have to help me with those songs bc i’m basic and only listen to recent stuff ;) how about….. scentist. could they do scentist.

AND i want seoho to do a chiller rnb cover. i want him to Not Scream All The Time he has such a pretty tone in his lower/middle registers! where is it rbw! but he should also officially cover the digimon theme bc he deserves it at this point.

and onewe.. any song. i also want them to go hard though. i want yonghoon to Scream drop the falsetto break ur voice king!! i really want them to FIND a violinist or LEARN violin idc how they do it but violin bands are just the best bands. then they could do a lucy cover of course.. imagine onewe doing flowering i’m a genius. they could also—and this is a stretch but i would love it—cover a mashrou’ leila song. only if they tried with the pronunciation. but yonghoon could do that vocalist justice. but if they can’t find a violin.. well they have a fun thing going on with rock covers of pop songs i just wish they would cover good pop songs and not bad ones.

so yeah! what are ur thoughts! i’m being vague with the songs bc we have different music tastes lmao but namedrop songs and i’ll listen to them! -tt

HI AGAIN BELOVED sorry i was making a terrible attempt at napping while waiting for my grandmother to deliver some groceries bc i'm trying to keep some money to spend it on something that makes me happy. like a ridiculously cheap videogame. but u never how much shit can cost until u see the price

ummmm could oneus do scentist? hm... well i mean they could but with rbw hindering them & their abilities we're not getting that anytime soon 🙄 also no hate on shinee but all these bitches would rather cover a shinee song they absolutely do not have the vibe for than touch another older group it makes me sickkk do another btob cover you cowards *shakes them* anyway i think oneus should do why so lonely i already said they should do i like that by sistar and it's TRUE but i also want them to do why so lonely i can already imagine seoho & keonhee oh ohhhh that would be beautiful. as for bgs um. if we keep it to vixx... hm... well nvm i want them to do the eye by infinite. BUT ALSO FUCK THEY SHOULD DO MY VALENTINE!!! in a few years when they're sexier. i also need be mine Again when they're older. because i have very good taste. and hello by tohoshinki. and ofc i need Actual covers of sunmi songs 🙄🙄

and YEAH seoho should do calmer covers... i love my men loud but keonhee's doing all the high notes rn you don't have to king just show us ur deeper register aha 💕💕💕 this is never happening bc oneus have bad taste in general but if seoho could cover smth like touch & sketch... i would never complain again

PLEASEEE THEY NEED A VIOLIN they would use it RIGHT. idk if learning it is an option bc that shit takes a WHILE to master source i learnt the violin but they could def add a 6th member it would perfectly mirror oneus pls think of it onewe... also i completely see ur point about them covering mashrou' leila yonghoon could absolutely do that and he SHOULD but he WON'T bc he SUCKS!!!!!! raaah!!!!!!!!! stupid kpop boy in general i would want onewe to cover wonder girls 💔 and actually? surprisingly i think they should do a the pretty reckless song. it would be unlike their ~usual vibe~ but i want yonghoon to yell WILL BURN UP IN THE LIIIIGHT EVERYTIME I LOOOOK IIINSIIIIDE YOOOOUR EEEEEEYES i think it would be phenomenal. also it would be hilarious to hear yonghoon say some marina lyrics like these only sound natural when she says them lmaoo i want them to cover froot just bc it'd be funny
