★ Summary: A Compilation of Headcannons Featuring Salesperson ENA X Autistic Reader

★ Character(s): Salesperson ENA (ENA: Dream BBQ)

★ Genre: Headcannons, SFW

★ Warning(s): None - Completely Safe!

★ Image Credits: @JoelG

☆ She notices it before you speak. The stillness. The quiet intelligence you wear like a hand-me-down jacket. The twitch of your fingers, the tick of your breath, the way you hesitate before stepping into noise. ENA does not judge. She categorises. She studies. Her head tilts, sharp and interested. “Are you experiencing a SYSTEM OVERLOAD, partner? We can reorganise your sensory pyramid. Let’s start with the silence.” And then she sits beside you. Doesn’t speak again. Just… lets you be. Two opposing halves, resting in symmetry.

☆ When you info-dump about your favorite hyperfixation—whether it’s beetle taxonomy, train models, or a single obscure cartoon that aired once in 1998—Salesperson ENA’s red side lights up like a business expo. “Wow! You’re pitching an entire emotional enterprise, I love it. Could I subscribe to your newsletter? Or… marry it?” The meanie side, pale and sharp, cuts through the room: “HEY. IF YOU INTERRUPT AGAIN, I’LL CHEW YOUR FACTS INTO PIECES AND SPIT THEM INTO A MUSEUM!” You blink. She grins. Both sides are listening. Really listening.

☆ Routine? ENA treats it like a sacred business model. “So your Tuesdays require specific cereal-to-milk ratios and one (1) viewing of That Video With The Cat Screaming? A delight. I shall PRINT THE SCHEDULE and laminate it with my tears.” She starts mimicking the routine too, sometimes dramatically over-committing to it. One day she shows up at your door with four bowls of cereal and a projector. “Oops! I over-scheduled our scheduled overscheduling. Let’s recalibrate!”

☆ When you get overwhelmed—when the lights scream, and the noise becomes too much, ENA does not ask what’s wrong. She knows. She flips her hat backward, lowers her voice. “Time to switch gears. Come with me, my love. Let’s find a sensory haven.” And then she takes you under the table, into a bathroom, or behind a vending machine where everything buzzes in exactly the right way. She creates a little ritual with you. “Let’s play the quiet game, but instead of being quiet, we just exist. No rules. No points. You win by breathing.”

☆ Touch is complicated. Sometimes it’s comforting. Sometimes it’s a full-body fire alarm. ENA respects that like a legal clause. “Touch threshold acknowledged. Engaging… emotional contract.” She offers you her mitten hand when you’re okay with it. The yellow, clawed one stays behind her back unless you request it. She even makes laminated cards: [Touch okay] [Please no touch today] [I would like a pat on the head only] You catch her referencing them with comical solemnity. “Hm. The oracle says we’re on [Headpat Hour]. Shall I proceed?”

☆ You stim. Flap your hands. Rock. Mumble. Hum. ENA? She mirrors you. Not to mock—but to validate. “Ohhh you’re FLAPPING?? ME TOO—WEEEHHH!” She makes it a duet. Sometimes it’s a whole musical. She turns your stims into a ritualized language. A way to say “I’m okay” or “I’m not.” She calls it your “corporate communication channel.” “I am now subscribing to your emotional data stream. Please keep broadcasting.”

☆ Sometimes people talk over you. Treat you like you’re slow. You don’t always have the words right away. ENA sees it. Salesperson smiles. “Pardon me, but you’ve exceeded your cruelty limit.” Meanie bites. “SHUT UP AND LET THEM SPEAK, YOU MOIST JELLYSACK.” ENA’s loyalty is a crashing stock market. Loud, sudden, intense. But always on your side. She will fight GØD if you’re being misunderstood. And then offer GØD a limited-time coupon.

☆ You script your conversations sometimes—rehearsed lines to get through tough moments. ENA? She calls it “performative theater!” “Oh! A fellow playwright! Let us prepare Act II of this Grocery Store Encounter Scene!” She even starts playing along, adding her own scripted responses. “Hi, how are you?” “I’m functioning within acceptable parameters. And yourself, my most esteemed collaborator?” She validates your way of communicating like it’s art. Because to her—it is.

☆ When you mask—when you try to be “normal” in public, even if it hurts—ENA sees right through it. She leans in close. “I see you under the disguise. The real CEO of your own joy.” She doesn’t ask you to stop masking. But she reminds you, gently, that you don’t need to with her. “You’re already profitable as yourself. No quarterly reports needed.”

☆ Your existence to her isn’t “difficult.” It isn’t a puzzle to be solved. You are anomalous. You are nonlinear. You are wonderful. And ENA, caught somewhere between marketing lingo and existential dread, wraps her arm around you and says, “You are the most reliable investment I’ve ever made. I hope you know that. Even if this whole world crashes… I’d still pick you.” Her Salesperson side beams. Her Meanie side nods like a glitching earthquake. She means it.

FuckNoWriMo

Here's my official Writing Challenge Post for anyone who wants to play along.

FuckNoWriMo will be held December 2024 for this year only, and will be held in March from 2025 on. Due to the terminology being used, this is probably an 18+ event, but I swore like a sailor at 12, and it's not like I can stop you from participating.

How to Participate:

Decide you want to write during the month of the event.

Write.

Bonus!

3. Post and share that you're writing, and what you're writing if you want \o/ 4. Tag your posts with #fnowrimo or #fucknowrimo

Want more structure? Certainly, allow me.

Pick one of the categories to run with and set that as your goal for the month:

A Word, if I May?: Write at least 31 words for the month.

Get That Shit Outlined: Write at least 1,000 words for the month. (33 words a day)

Give it the Gusto!: Write at least 5,000 words for the month. (162 words a day)

Hell Yeah, Write!: Write at least 10,000 words for the month. (323 words a day)

Words At Work: Write at least 20,000 words for the month. (646 words a day)

Punctuated: Write at least 35,000 words for the month. (1,130 words a day.)

Fuck It: Write at least 50,000 words for the month. (1,613 words a day)

Crazy 88 (it's a Kill Bill reference): Write at least 100,000 words for the month. (3,225 words a day)

Please note you may write anything:

An outline, several outlines, rough draft(s), poetry, journaling, lyrics, role-play with your friends, a campaign idea for a table top game, the script for a movie, show, visual novel, etc., notes to defend your dissertation, recipes, to-do lists - you get the point.

If you want to breakdown the granular concepts of an old historic text on index cards for shits and giggles, that counts too!

The event is less about the quality of the end result, and more about creating a habit to write daily. If you don't want to spend a lot of time fixing and editing a harried rough draft, then don't worry about the word count at all.

0 is a valid word count for the day. So is 1, or 10, or 100 or all those little numbers we often get discouraged seeing.

But set aside some time during the month, and write some fucking words, hell, write some words fucking. A real alphabet orgy. Be silly, weird, cringe, strange, gross, problematic, thematic - whatever \o/

Just write it yourself. I don't care if you dictate it, use the hunt and peck method, a pen, pencil, quill, or chisel.

But for the love of all that's holy -

No Generative AI

That's the only rule.

PAC Reading: What are your hidden gifts?

(this is strictly for entertainment purposes only)

In commemoration of my birth month, I'm curious about what other skills or talents I have yet to discover and master. So I made this PAC as a little pick-me-up to somehow beat the seasonal blues~

Note: I pulled these cards in November but only got to finish the readings this April 2025. Lol, this is wild.

Pile 1: Shell

Cards pulled: Wheel of Fortune, World, 9 of Coins

Hi Pile 1, let yourself sit back as I discuss your potential hidden gifts. Remember, take only what resonates; feel free to choose another pile, just don't try to make things fit, okay?

You might have this uncanny nudge about timing, like knowing when to strike, which opportunities are worth the risks, when it is safe for you to leave, etc.

Another potential interpretation of the Wheel of Fortune card is its adaptability to sudden upheaval. For example, when things completely turn into disarray, you can somehow be able to bounce back almost instantaneously despite how the situation looks like it's against your favor.

The next card. the World feels like your hidden gift is related to this solid sense of belonging in your body. Now stay with me, let me expound on this for a sec.

Some people have unbearable body dysmorphia and some struggle to love the body they are born in, particularly what they look like. Usually, but not always, it's rooted in a lack of self-confidence or their people-pleasing tendencies to take control of their life (these unfortunate darlings tend to cave in easily to snide comments of haters and naysayers). So these precious souls tend to lose their identity for the sake of external validation and surface attempt of "belongingness".

Your hidden gift is being impervious to societal pressure to conform. You know who you are and what you have to offer. You also understand what you are currently working on and your non-negotiables. You don't conform to peer pressure, or maybe, not anymore; because why try to be like someone else when there's only one of you in the world?

Another interpretation to this card is the ability to see a goal/plan through. Now, this might come as a surprise to you so let me explain further. A lot of us make tons of plans that never get carried out into fruition; those plans remains as just that, ideas... But not you.

Your hidden gift is not only thinking of a plan but you know how to fulfill it and actually succeed. You know when to pivot and adjust when one approach doesn't work. You don't get stuck sulking when plan A fails because you have plan B onwards to try out~

The last card feels like your hidden gift is self-sufficiency. TBH, your whole pile is career-centric gifts! Like you know how to get things done right and on time. You're like a one-person team because you can literally do it all! Like if you're a content creator, you know how to write your script, you know how to video edit, you know how to color grade the shots, etc.

But this gift feels oddly heavy, with almost borderline perfectionistic vibes. So please, be careful with this gift. Remember, perfect doesn't exist so don't beat yourself up for not always being perfect and high energy all the time.

(This concludes the end of your pile reading) (This is for entertainment purposes only)

Pile 2: Lollipop

Cards Pulled: 7 of Coins, High Priestess, 4 of Wands

Hi Pile 2, let yourself sit back as I discuss your potential hidden gifts. Remember, take only what resonates; feel free to choose another pile, just don't try to make things fit, okay?

So the first card, 7 of Coins, feels like perseverance and resilience are your hidden gifts. It's something you might consider as a gift because you might be the type to not really see your ability to shorten your learning curve's time by consistently focusing on your mastery in an effective manner. And also, you don't beat yourself up if you don't get it immediately, you're not the type to enjoy instant gratification; you're all about that long-term harvest.

Another interpretation of this gift is that you have this eternal student mindset. You don't believe that you know everything, which lowkey excites you because it gives you more reason to want to learn and explore more.

The last interpretation I can think of for this card is the ability to actualize and achieve your goals in real life. I heard Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" in my head during this reading. Like, if you want to achieve something, you know how to get things done, by planning out the actionable steps that help you get closer to achieving your goals. A lot of people can dream big, but you pile 2, have the persistence and resilience to turn those dreams into reality.

The next card, High Priestess, talks about the possibility of your hidden gift being untapped intuition, or any spiritual gifts you may have unknowingly inherited from your ancestors. It can be any kind of spiritual gifts, I feel this spiritual gifts wildly differs from every person who chose this pile, something that you might have been interested but you couldn't put a finger why you feel called to it. Feel free to do thorough research about this prior to actually practicing it. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Another interpretation is you could try to see if you feel called to try to learn divination, like tarot cards, scrying, using a pendulum, etc. This might be the pile for my newly interested baby occultists/ spirituality enthusiasts. Again, do your thorough research, be careful and never forget to cleanse your energy and call your energy back.

The last possible interpretation I can give you for the second card is you might have an undiscovered affinity to be an effective mentor of your given specialty/interest. This is for my mid twenties and above followers. You might have certain skillsets that you never considered to try to teach others for profit. You know those mentorship programs you see online that teaches different types of skills, like in Coursera, or any other online classes; feel free to look into that, and be open to try this possible source of side income.

The last card, 4 of Wands, suggests that you may possibly have the hidden gift of having this charisma that attracts people naturally to create your like-minded community. Like, you know how to bring together a good-natured crowd that knows how to be happy for your happiness.

Another interpretation for this card is your hidden gift is you might have knack for events planning/hosting. Okay hear me out, I know this is such an odd gift to have, this potential interpretation isn't for everyone and please use discernment if it resonates with you are not.

Okay now to further explain this potential interpretation. You might have this knack when you know how to host a good house party. So party planning is also a possibility. Interesting enough, I heard, "You make really delicious foods!" So you can try to see if you wanna try catering or packed lunches as a side gig business.

The last potential interpretation I can think of is that you might have this kind of comforting vibe whenever people are around you. The type to be the comfort person of your friend group/community. Everyone's go-to person, for better or for worse. You're like the glue in the friend group.

(This concludes the end of your pile reading) (This is for entertainment purposes only)

Pile 3: Lipstick

Cards Pulled: King of Swords, King of Coins, 4 of Cups

Hi Pile 3, let yourself sit back as I discuss your potential hidden gifts. Remember, take only what resonates; feel free to choose another pile, just don't try to make things fit, okay?

The first card suggests that your ability to be self-disciplined and self-motivated is one of your many hidden gifts. Now there's this lack of appreciation towards your self-discipline and integrity, as if it had always been expected, but it has some rather restricting/almost oppressive energy.

As if there are bad people who take advantage of your integrity and self-discipline, one minor example is someone taunting you by eating your favorite dessert when you're on a strict diet. This can also be interpreted as being ostracized for being a strict/stern yet effective employee/coworker/manager.

Another example is that you were being dragged in a rumor/scandal that would cause a smear campaign on your name (whether you spoke up or not), and your general respect for other people's privacy and integrity was used against you. It's like you tend to be the kind of person who's generally good-natured, so you tend to be easy prey for covert narcissists, manipulators, two-faced liars, and opportunistic gas-lighters.

The second card suggests that another hidden gift of yours is your generosity and social connections. Your love language may be gift-giving, and you may be the type to believe in sharing your blessings with your loved ones whenever you can. This generosity doesn't just mean physical gifts, it can also be about being generous with your time, efforts, connections, and knowledge.

This hidden gift feels the hardest to detect at first encounter because you might have trust issues from being taken advantage of in the past, be it your resources, connections, or positive reputation. It is hidden for your own sake because having this gift readily exposed leaves you susceptible to being a target of opportunistic, abusive narcissists. But this gift requires you to hone discernment.

Another interpretation of the second card is that your hidden gift could be that you have the qualities of becoming an encouraging mentor to people in your industry. So this feels more career-oriented, like this hidden gift tends to shine in your work environment. You could be that reliable go-to coworker/manager who knows how to disseminate instructions calmly and respectfully. In short, you could be everyone's favorite motivating boss.

Finally, the last card was the most confusing in this pile because it usually means apathy, contemplation, or indifference, so I had to sit with myself to figure out how this card can be a hidden gift.

So, upon walking around my house and coming back here, I came to the conclusion that the last card may suggest that your hidden gift is about your cut-off game once you felt disrespected or taken advantage of. It's like you can be the most loving, giving, and understanding person in the world, yet the moment you smell BS lies and disrespect, your cut-off game be colder than the Eastern Antarctic Plateau in Antarctica. IYKYK.

Another interpretation for this hidden gift is that you might have a knack for sensing/knowing when you don't feel unwelcome in a place, like a subconscious vibe check. I can also see this being interpreted as easily noticing signs when you've outgrown situations, people, places and community, so you don't have a hard time to disconnect, pack your stuff and live in a place that you feel would help you feel safe to grow, evolve and be the best version of yourself that you can be.

(This concludes the end of your pile reading) (This is for entertainment purposes only)

Pile 4: Butterfly:

Cards Pulled: Star, 5 of Wands, 10 of Swords

Hi Pile 4, let yourself sit back as I discuss your potential hidden gifts. Remember, take only what resonates; feel free to choose another pile, just don't try to make things fit, okay?

Okay so the first card suggests that your hidden gift could be your positive outlook, despite your harsh upbringing. It isn't toxic positivity, it's more of mental fortitude and resilience brought about by a hopeful drive to choose to see and move towards a better tomorrow.

Now you might be asking, how is this a hidden gift when it's normal for you... Gimme a sec and lemme break it down for you in a bit.

Since you've literally grown up in harsh conditions, you did everything you could to survive and not lose hope to keep yourself sane and focused on your goals. For you, it's normal to not be swayed by the cruelty of the world, and it's just your regular Tuesday to keep moving forward towards a hopeful tomorrow.

So what is normal and almost automatic for you is hard and unimaginable to those who grew up spoiled, sheltered, or dare I say, privileged. Actually, people born in privilege, some of them, tend to out of touch with reality most of the time, (unless their parents were the ones who created their own source of wealth), usually having appreciation and gratitude for what they have is something they lack, so privileged people tend to crash out drastically at the slightest inconvenience and would usually lash out if they don't get coddled exactly as how they were spoilt growing up.

So people who took advantage of their family's affluence and resources tend to be the ones who feel easily discontent and tend to have these out-of-pocket, ignorant remarks, which highlight how clueless and almost disrespectfully ignorant they are about what is happening to the world today.

So, how does this relate to your hidden gift? Funny you would ask, so let me give you a realistic example of what would happen if you and a privileged person were to both be thrown in an unpredictable, and almost life-threatening situation? For example: losing your source of income.

Well you wouldn't waste your time blaming the world why you lost your job out of nowhere, you'd actually analyze how much money you still have and plan out how to ration your resources while you go out and immediately applying for jobs that are label "immediate hire"; you'd be the type to accept part time jobs to make meets end until you have enough money saved (roughly 6 months worth of FU money) before you start applying for higher-paying employment and a better living accommodations.

And the privileged, spoilt person who lost their only source of money, their inheritance? Well, it depends on how ignorant, sheltered, and out-of-touch with reality they are; those would make or break how they'll survive. Does this example make more sense as to why this is a hidden gift you really should treasure and appreciate more?

The next card suggests that another hidden gift of yours is your ability to stay competitive and driven despite your adversities. I feel this hidden gift is also related to your first gift; more so, these two go hand in hand nicely. With the second card, it really feels like your hidden gifts are closely tied to your experience-cultivated resilience because your innate desire isn't just to survive, what you really want is to progressively thrive to have a more stabilized and secure future.

Now to survive, you'll need to stay well-informed and prepared for the best and worst days that can potentially happen. You have this energy of a seasoned fighter, where you know that just because there isn't a reason to fight, you keep on training as part of your daily regimen. Does this description make sense to you?

With this hidden gift, you might have this almost unquenchable desire to keep improving and wanting to gather as many sources of incomes as a means to comfort your subconscious that you deserve to live a comfortable life, that's why you don't mind working the grind, because just in case another world wide pandemic happens, at least you and your loved ones won't have any worries financially, so you can still afford to have roof over your head, food on the table, and be able to fully pay for hospital bills without worries or anxiety.

Lowkey, your second hidden gift is giving Earth sign vibes, more so Capricorn and Taurus, than Virgo tbh. You don't need to have these placements in your birth chart to say that this is your pile. Take note, it's just the energy of the card; this part may or may not resonate with you. It just reminded me about how earth signs know the true value of hard work for the sake of a comfortable sense of security and stability that they aspire to have in the future. It's giving, exercise now to avoid health problems in the future.

Another interpretation of the second card is not being afraid to fight for your rights and knowing your worth. With this one, it feels like you don't tolerate disrespect, especially when someone else would dare take credit for YOUR HARD WORK. You don't play about the things you worked hard for.

Also, you might hate snarky side comments from random gossipers that claim you took Ozempic or underwent plastic surgery to lose weight, when nobody knows how consistently you've worked out to get the healthy body you've always aspired to have.

Like they don't know how many times you got injured working out in the gym when you were focusing on taking better care of your health. They don't know how hard you struggled to fix your diet and say no to your favorite pizza and chicken combo. None of those naysayers know how you felt terrible for caving into your previous cravings and struggled to get back into your workout program?! Those clueless, jealous people don't have any say when they choose to keep complaining and not care about their well-being.

Granted, some people have chronic illness, but those who are physically capable of doing the things you did for your health, helllllllllllll naaaaaaaahh, they're just a bunch of haters because they're not putting in the work and yet expect to have the body and health that you have. If they aren't supporting and congratulating you on your fitness journey, their opinions are nothing but background static noises that make buzzing mosquitoes sound like opera symphonies.

So the final card suggests that your hidden gift was the knowledge you've acquired through multiple tower moments, losses, and burnouts. Being the ever-resilient workaholic that you are, you're no stranger to losses and burnouts. You had days when you surprised yourself, like "How the hell did I survive that?".

So the knowledge on how to bounce back after losses and overburden has given you tools and strategies rarely talked about by productivity coaches online. Since those lessons came from your lived experiences, you formulated strategies and approaches specifically catered to help you bounce back from ruin and despair as efficiently and effectively as possible. Basically, your bounce-back's response time is shorter as your productivity and resilience period stretch out progressively longer and stronger.

Granted, you get tired, too, because everyone has limits, and you, too, have days when you have had enough. So this means, one of the many garnered knowledge you've acquired through multiple struggles is your self-awareness of your strengths, weaknesses, and body's current limitations allows you to curate your self-care routine on a whole other level.

You know which coping mechanisms can help you sustainably regulate your nervous system, as well as you know which nighttime routines help you feel the most rested and energized the next day. You know which foods help you feel more full and have enough caffeine rush to get the ball rolling. As well, you know which mini workout routines help you destress, decompress your spine, and help you bloat less.

Because of your self-awareness of your overall well-being, you now how the knowledge and tools to curate an ideal lifestyle that helps you, not only function better, but progressively sustain a healthier lifestyle.

[assume-your-reality]

The World — You are already closer than you think.

The World is a card that speaks of completion, but not complete finality. It says: you’ve been here before. You’ve done the hard part. You’ve studied, you've grown, hit the same wall enough times to open the door...

But now it's time to stop asking for permission.

You've done enough research. You've read enough posts. You've done enough.

You’ve already collected the keys. You don’t need to earn your reality.

ASSUME IT.

Stop asking for permission to shift. You don't need it.

The Magician — You know exactly what to do. Stop pretending you don’t.

The Magician doesn’t ask, “Can I?” He asks, “What happens if I do?”

He channels the divine through his will. His tools are symbolic extensions of belief, but never the source of it. That’s why your method doesn’t matter nearly as much as your mindset. The script, the subliminals, the technique, those are props. But YOU are the spell.

It’s you. It always has been.

If your process feels messy, unpredictable, even a little weird?

GOOD.

That means it’s yours. That’s Magician energy. You’re not borrowing power from the Universe, you’re discovering your own power in real time. And it’s working, even if it doesn’t look the way you thought it would.

Use what you know. Bend the rules. Break them. Shifting isn’t a step-by-step process. It’s not like building an IKEA chair. It’s a game, and the first rule of the game is that you make the rules.

The High Priestess — Stillness is not inaction.

And now… silence. Let it fall like snowfall. Let it hush everything inside you.

Because the power behind everything you do, the burning desire to shift, it's beautiful. But without the High Priestess it burns out. It spirals into doubt and regret. It forgets why it started.

She is the stillness beneath the storm. The part of you that knows without knowing how.

She’s not here to dazzle or over-explain to you. She’s here to anchor you. She teaches you not to chase outcomes, but she waits for resonance.

Not “Is it working?” But: “Does it feel right?”

If you’ve been forcing your shift, begging for a breakthrough, gripping reality with white knuckles, then STOP.

Breathe.

Let the sensations come to you. Let the method flow if it feels right, not because you 'think' it will work.

🜃

Together, this reading says that you were never meant to choose. You are all of it. You are The World, The Magician, and The High Priestess.

You don't need permission to shift. (The World) Your methods are an extension of yourself, but not the source of shifting. (The Magician) You can shift without forcing it. (The High Priestess)

You are the center of it all.

So stop searching for the “perfect” method. Stop looking outside for validation. Start acting like you’ve already shifted, because in one layer of reality, you already have.

And if I can see all that, without even knowing who you are, then so can you.

Now go shift ;)

— AYR Assume Your Reality. Not tomorrow. Now.

🤡 TERWILLIGER FILES — ADDENDUM: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BATMAN TURNS ROBIN INTO THE JOKER A Blacksite Literature™ Transmission

---

Let me be clear while I can still spell my own name and not get hypnotized by Bob's operatic baritone echoing through my skull:

You don't understand what Robert Terwilliger is.

You think he's just some Frasier-voiced criminal mastermind with clown trauma. But he's not.

Bob Terwilliger is what happens when you take a man with the voice of Shakespeare, the IQ of Lex Luthor, and the rage of a neglected theater kid—and force him to eat pies for a living under a nicotine-stained clown with a gambling addiction.

This man was reading Voltaire while getting shot out of a cannon. That’s not character building. That’s how you get an origin story.

⚠️ Krusty Didn’t Hire a Sidekick. He Created a Nemesis.

Imagine Batman making Robin dress like a chicken, publicly humiliating him for ratings, and then acting surprised when Robin joins the League of Shadows and starts quoting Nietzsche mid-murder spree.

That’s Bob.

He didn’t start evil. He was forged in a fire of seltzer bottles and unpaid therapy. He wasn’t born with a vendetta. He was given one… with a laugh track.

🎭 You’re Laughing, but He’s Monologuing.

Bob doesn’t just try to kill people. He plans it like a composer writing a symphony in blood. He leaves clues. He drops literary references. He recites entire Gilbert and Sullivan operas mid-murder attempt.

That’s not a killer. That’s a thesis paper with a vendetta and good diction.

🚨 Bart Isn’t Just a Victim. He’s the Catalyst.

Bart didn’t just ruin Bob’s schemes. He validated them.

Every time Bob got close to peace, the universe served him another slice of Simpson-brand chaos.

You think Bob hates Bart? No. Bob became Bob because of Bart.

He is what happens when Batman forgets to save Robin from the dark.

📚 Terwilliger Lore Is Basically Shakespeare with Blood and Rakes

You ever watch a man step on one rake? Funny.

You ever watch him step on sixteen rakes in a row while monologuing about revenge and democracy? That’s not a gag. That’s a Greek tragedy in clown shoes.

Bob is Othello in clown makeup. He’s Hamlet with a vendetta and a blowtorch. He’s the only villain in history who could quote Whitman, attempt murder, win an Emmy, and still get mispronounced by Ralph Wiggum.

🧠 You Want Redemption? Bob Gave You Redemption… and You Threw It Back

The man literally tried to settle down in Italy.

Crushed grapes. Ran for mayor. Found love. Raised a child.

Then the Simpsons showed up.

And like clockwork, Bob was reminded: > "Oh right, I’m not allowed to heal. I’m a punchline."

So he relapsed.

Because healing is hard. But falling into villainy with flair? That’s opera, baby.

🎤 Final Analysis:

Robert Terwilliger isn’t a villain. He’s the result of what happens when you break a gifted mind for laughs. When you hand a prodigy a banana cream pie and tell him, “Be funny, or be forgotten.”

He’s what happens when Batman turns Robin into the Joker… …then gets mad when the Joker starts writing sonnets about vengeance.

And Bart? Bart’s just the spotlight.

[faeriemarie]

introducing my lifa app!!

so if you don't know what the lifa app is... here is my extremely confusing explanation. if you can't understand it, i don't blame you

the basics of my app:

The app is for pc, phone, ipad, and other electronic devices (or on paper in drs without smartphones)

It will automatically appear and it can not be deleted. I know everything there is to know about Lifa and I control the app with absolute ease.

If someone were to go on a device where the Lifa app is on, they wouldn’t be able to see it or tap on it at all. Only I can see it or use it and it is 100% real and 100% effective

The lifa app doesn’t take up ANY storage

Lifa knows exactly what I mean because it is connected to my subconscious mind. It knows what I mean exactly, and all intrusive thoughts are ignored

The lifa app doesn’t need wifi

I can do ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING with Lifa, no restrictions, and nobody ever suspects that I’m using it

Nothing I search or watch on my lifa app is traceable by anyone but me (not even cell or wifi companies)

There are ZERO CONSEQUENCES to using Lifa and what decisions I make. Nothing goes wrong, everything happens how I expect it to, excluding the intrusive thoughts which are always ignored

No one is ever suspicious of the things I manifest and it’s like I’ve always had them (clothes, food, talents, etc. has always been there)

okay now for the features!!

lifa closet

Any item of clothing I choose from the catalog, script, or import a picture of will be sent to my closet, suitcase, or wherever I want

reality shifting

I can set a time and pick a reality to shift to. I will then shift during that exact time

reality check

I can check which reality I am in with the click of a button

scripter

I can script and write anything. Inserted images are HD, and PNG images remain transparent. I can insert infinite images and change the font’s color and style itself (same features as notes/notion/google docs but neater)

desired scenario

I can specifically script to describe my desired scenario. I can set the time and date to when the scenario happens. The scenario is exactly like how I want and even 1 trillion times better

manifestor

I can insert a picture or describe what I want to manifest. I can also manifest people by typing their name and Lifa will automatically recognize who they are. I can set the time and date to when you want that thing to manifest, and it will happen 100%.

skill increaser

Choose any skill I desire to have (I can also insert it by typing “cooking”). I can choose to master any skill and it will show up immediately. I can search any skill and increase on a scale of 1-100% mastery

motherlode (sims reference lol)

I can deliver/spawn money of any currency in my chosen form. (gift cards, bank acc, cash, etc.) I can choose from coins to bills. There is no limit amount of money or times to deliver it. I can deliver it how much and how many times I want. The money is 100% legal and valid, and passes all money detectors. The money has valid and legal coding, as if it had been made in factories. It still remains perfectly legal. I can choose to spawn the money in my purse, bottom of backpack, pockets, amazon, wallet, etc. The money spawns in 5 seconds. I can deliver/spawn as much money as I desire, there is no limit (even 50 million is 100% possible). There is 0% risk of money inflation

lifa credit card

The Lifa credit card has an infinite amount of money and can never go in debt. There is an infinite amount of money in all international currencies. The card is universal and 100% valid and legal. It can be used in any ATM and online store/game (could be recognized as any official credit card like eg. visa or ae). The money has no money or usage limit, and it can be used for anything, anytime. In ATM machines it appears that the card only has 1000€/$, but in the Lifa app it will be ∞ €/$. If the card gets lost, it will automatically disappear. The same happens if the card breaks, and Lifa will spawn a new card with the same exact info.  It will come inside a little gift box (that matches the app’s color scheme I desire) wherever I want. The card’s number and code (and other infos) are up to me or the universe but it's always 100% valid. The card lasts forever. There is 0% risk of money inflation

lifa bank account

The bank account feature is connected to the credit card feature. It’s almost like a normal bank acc. I can see all mytransactions. The amount of money never changes because it stays 100% infinite. I can change my money’s currency. I can also take money out of the card in my desired currency. I can customize the card’s design and I can spawn more cards. I can easily create more bank accounts too, they will all have infinite money. There is 0% risk of money inflation

lifa paypal/venmo/cashapp/etc.

It is 100% legal anywhere. It is exactly like the real paypal, but my Lifa bank account/card is registered. I can use it in all purchases that require paypal. I can login on the real paypal website with the Lifa paypal acc. When I first use the app I get to create a Lifa paypal account. The balance shows 1000€ / $ / £ but the money amount is infinite. There is 0% risk of money inflation

food delivery

If I insert a picture of a food item or search the catalog, Lifa will recognize. When I confirm, it will be sent to my ideal location. (i can pick the location). The food will be 100% fresh and new

boredom cure

Instantly provides me with inspiration to do something that is productive and beneficial to my overall well-being

create-a-person

I can design a person’s hair, body, face, etc., script their personality and choose their traits. It is set up like scripting and has different templates I can use. I can change skin tone, skin type, undertone, hair color, hair texture, eye color, etc. I can insert any pictures and they’ll be exactly how I want. When I insert a script of the person’s personality and behaviour, Lifa will recognize it. I can also script traits and the person’s backstory. I have to fill in each’s birth info (name, age, birthday, sign, blood type, etc) to my desire.  I can also choose the relationship between the people when I’m done creating them. Then I confirm and once I shift to my dr it will all be exactly like how I wanted and even 1 trillion times better. If I’m feeling lazy, I can select to let the universe fill in the gaps, and the universe will fill them like I wanted and even better

lifa messenger

I can text with anyone in the universe that I want. It feels completely real and all conversations are remembered. It’s like having online bestie because the people I text always get along with me, always respond, and actually care about me. We can also call and video chat. I am not actually communicating with someone from my reality and instead with the universe since everyone is part of the universe. It works exactly how I want it to

natal chart

I can select which life/reality’s natal chart I want to see. Lifa offers a personalized detailed description of my chart and personality. The chart is 100% accurate. I can also select to look at anyone’s natal chart. Lifa will show a list of everyone I know. It is divided in 5 categories (friends, family, acquaintances, classmates/coworkers, celebrities). The natal chart can also show compatibility

grade changer

Automatically makes me have good grades and changed all my past grades to A. My wrong test answers morph into correct test answers

ask-me-anything

I can ask anything and get the complete and 100% right answer. The questions can vary from asking where my lost tennis shoes are to what’s the answer to number 4 on my math homework. There is no limit to what can be asked and the answer given is always exactly what I need

feature adder

I can visualize and script more features and add them to Lifa with the feature adder. Lifa will add these features in 1 second and they will be 100% effective. Lifa also knows exactly what I mean, even if I script something wrong, so there are no surprises

lifaflix

A streaming site where I can watch shows that only exist in my dr (most of the time used for fame drs so i can see all the great acting projects i have been a part of). I can also watch my drs like tv shows.

lifatube

A video site set up like YouTube where I can watch anything from my dr. Things like fan edits, compilations of dr moments, my dr tiktoks, youtube videos made by my dr self and more. I can also watch memories/anything that happens from either a 3rd person point of view or 1st person

lifa socials

My lifa app has social media accounts from all my different realities that i can flip through, post from, dm with people from those realities, and go live (i can post anything i want on these social media sites and i’m immune to anything bad happening like leaking nudes, screenshots, hacking, or any other cybercrimes/bad things). My wr self even has their own account

[zellink]

Yeah... About the notes i completely agree. Again i wasn't expecting a lot from the get go i mean its Nintendo they would rather burn their whole company down than label Zelink relationship anything outside of ambiguous wink wink they might be canon if you squint and use your imagination wink. Like i dont know why they keep doing this like everything points to the fact that they are together and from what I ve seen on Twitter there are some voice notes that lean into it but its just so tiring at this point. And the blatchery plain one just pissed me off like girl... And yeah they probably pulled that same card of not wanting to spoil the first game for newcomers but at that point just use Impa or anybody else for info and lore dumps instead idk man. Sorry i just needed to vent lol but yeah i agree with everything. At least they didnt deny it so there is that.

P.S Also i love all the bells say and your writing. Take your time and no pressure in regards to updates.💕

UGHHH exactly anon you get it!!! and you can't even argue for them not wanting to spoil the first game for newcomers re: Blatchery Plain note because zelda DOES talk about link dying in another note. so then what's the purpose of making the Blatchery Plain note so bland? some people on twitter were like, "damn y'all are dramatic, the notes aren't her diary but just recollection of events by zelda" and to that i say okay but then why does she actually treat it like a diary? there's one note in the Castle Bell Tower (which my friend pointed out for me because she said it reminded her of my longfic!!) where zelda talks about the fear she used to have every time she heard the bell tolls, that she was running out of time. this has depth--Blatchery Plain note doesn't.

while i was venting to my bf about this, he raised a valid point: he said that nintendo probably had different people writing the scripts for these notes and so that's why we have some notes that are zelink crumb-y and there are others that are just completely devoid of zelink.

at the end of the day... yeah i'm just tired of them being so surface level-y with us, not wanting to offend anyone by making zelink canon. like i'm not even asking them to be explicitly canon--just give the notes more depth, more insight into their relationship that is more than just "i stare at link a lot during banquets at the castle" or "link doesn't want me to go up tuft mountain because he's worried that it's too steep"

anyways, thank you so much anon for the love for Bells. i am literally taking a mini break rn from writing--the disappointment i got from the zelda notes actually kinda lit a fire in me to write more because i need to realize these zelink visions yknow lmao. so yeah! i can't promise you anything in terms of when i'll update (my writing sessions feel more like 'lightning in a bottle' moments nowadays, and i mostly struggle to get out even a sentence other days,) but just know that i'm not abandoning this fic. <3

[hypnomasterfrancois]

Hey! I’m looking to get into hypno(particularly as the hypnotist) but I’m not sure where to find good resources on how to do it properly hypnotize someone for the first time

do you know of any good places to find stuff like that? I wanna go into my first attempt well prepared

Congratulations on deciding to become a hypnotist! I read a lot about hypnosis when I was a kid and unfortunately don’t remember everything I’ve read. But here are some resources I can recommend.

I read this a bunch when I was a kid and it’s a quick intro to the theory behind hypnosis.

I read a lot of scripts when I was a kid, and eventually you internalize them and can come up with your own. Try different techniques like progressive relaxation, eye fixation, confusion, etc. Also watching videos on YouTube on how to do certain inductions helps a lot.

The book “Mind Play” by Mark Wiserman is a good read for learning hypnosis too. He talks about Zebu cards to help learn how to word suggestions, so here is a link to a quizlet of them https://quizlet.com/495361994/nlp-zebu-cards-flash-cards/.

And finally practice as much as you can! It’s easier to practice with strangers first and then hypnotize family and friends when you’re more confident. You can use hypnohookup when you’re looking for subjects. But even if the session doesn’t go as planned, have fun with it and try to see where you can improve and soon you’ll be a master hypnotist!

Also I’d love to hear how your sessions go and if you enjoy being a tist. Good luck!

[aquanatalie]

Will Pedro get a role in a psychological thriller in the next two years ( I got a yes and I got what will the script talk about lol ) ?

Pedro remains as Emprahhat again . From the 6th card which is the swords in reversed is a positive and I think the rest of the cards in this situation talk about the plot of the movie .

He will play a married man whose wife isn’t paying attention to him and I believe he will also be the killer in the movie . There may be some bondage included with Valide as well (?)

Take this with a grain of salt cause the cards are a bit wanky on this reading and I think they mean the plot of the movie 🥹

[pictureamoebae]

hey, it's me again regarding cinematic mode!

ok so this took awhile! i am actually using their videocamera but i redownloaded it and it seems to work fine now so far! but now i do have an issue with graphicrules (i'm using this instead btw) now since i didn't use theirs ever since their update (which was faulty at that time), when i moved it and the setters into the configoverride folder as instructed, i kept getting this error: "Unable to start:  There was an error processing the startup configuration script."

i've look around for answers like this and basically i can't use s4s' graphicrules and the setters in the configoverride... so i removed them from the folder to leave it blank and replaced the default graphicrules in the bin folder with s4s' instead which it still pops up the same error. i think i've seen you using this overhaul before, did yours happened too? i'm not sure where to contact s4s either since they're not active online...

So what happened with a recent patch was maxis overhauled the graphicsrules.sgr file with some new stuff in there, so old ones stop the game from starting, or produce weird results like super pixelated Sims, because they're no longer valid. What you have to do is take a copy of the new vanilla version and edit the parts of it you want to change. You can't just pop an old edited version in there, it won't work.

I was previously using Simp's alt clipping version without the setters file, just the straight up graphicsrules.sgr file, alongside my own camera files edits. What I've done now is compared side-by-side the old edited file and the new vanilla file, and edited the values in the new version to match what had been previously edited in the old version. Then I've placed that directly into the Bin folder (keeping a backup of the original vanilla file).

The main downside to this is that whenever the game is patched the sgr file in the Bin folder will be overwritten with a fresh vanilla one, so you have to keep a backup of your edited one somewhere, or remember to take it out before you update, and pop it back in again afterwards. Placing anything at all in the configoverride folder at the moment seems to make the game not start (except for graphicscards.sgr, which I have edited to add my graphics card since it wasn't originally listed).

If you're editing the file yourself (which is easy to do, it just takes a little while and some patience), you also need to keep in mind that from time to time maxis will add new things to the graphicsrules.sgr file. So it's a good idea to periodically compare a new vanilla file with your current edited one and see if there's anything new, and if there is start the process again of transferring your edits over to the newer version.

Oasis Springs Side Quest: Part V (The Finale)

This tarot-reading pose pack by @radioactivedotcom is the main one I used! Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck and spreads by @the-dewofthesea with some personal tweaks by me.

Previous / Next

Transcript under the cut.

Celeste: “Now, darling, what question will we be posing to the universe tonight?”

Helena: “Oh, I… Well, that’s a pretty loaded question in itself. Maybe we should just ask what I’ll have for breakfast tomorrow morning.”

Ulrike: “Take this seriously, Zhao!”

Helena: “I am. But what if I ask the wrong thing and learn, like, the exact date of my death?”

Ulrike: [chuckles] “I don’t think that’s quite how it works.”

Helena: “Fine. Then I guess I’ll ask what my final year of college has in store.”

Celeste: “Good. I’ve cut the deck. Now, choose four cards at random and, without looking, place them face down in the center of the table. Let’s see what the cards have to tell us about your future. They’re more illuminating some days than others, so we must be receptive to whatever they’re willing to divulge.”

Helena: [nervously] “So what are they saying so far?”

Celeste: “Patience, dear. The full meaning will not become apparent until all the cards are laid out. We must reveal the fourth before we’ll know. Oh. Well, this certainly makes things more interesting.”

Helena: [groans] “Oh, God, what is it?”

Celeste: “You’ll not want to take this one at face value.”

Helena: “Just show me!”

Celeste: [holds up the Death card]

Helena: “Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Damn it, Faust! Why did I let you talk me into this?”

Ulrike: [cracks up] “The way you jumped like Grim himself just entered the room.”

Celeste: “Death is almost never meant to be taken literally in the context of the tarot.”

Helena: “Almost never?!? That seems to imply that it sometimes is!”

Celeste: “Let’s take in everything we’ve got here before jumping to conclusions.”

Helena: “Well, the Lovers has to be us, right? Oh, God, our relationship is going to die, Ulrike.”

Ulrike: “Will you stop freaking out and let her do her job?”

Celeste: “This spread is all about transformation. Many changes are brewing, some more difficult than others. Your relationship will be one of them. You’ll find yourself up against a great obstacle, and the outcome of that struggle will determine if the connection between you and your partner strengthens or weakens.”

Helena: “Okay... And what about the Magician? How does he fit into all this?”

Celeste: “Well, the Magician may symbolize self-actualization. You’ll have to tap into your inner strengths to face the decisions ahead. But it can also be a warning.”

Helena: “A warning of what?”

Celeste: “Illusion, deceit, manipulation. Perhaps a situation that is not as it seems or an untrustworthy individual.”

Helena: “Please don’t tell me I’m going to fall for an MLM scheme.”

Ulrike: “Helena!”

Helena: “What? It’s a valid concern.”

Celeste: “Whatever or whoever crosses your path, the Queen of Swords reminds you of your fortitude. She advises you to remain clear-headed, rational, and objective in your decision-making.”

Ulrike: [snorts] “You’ve already got that part down, Zhao.”

Celeste: With Death comes rebirth, and it is up to you to determine what you make of this new life when it arrives.”

…

Ulrike: “What’s the verdict? Are you a believer now?”

Helena: “Eh, not really. Transformation, hard decisions, inner strength… It’s so vague! She must follow the same script every time.”

Ulrike: “That Death card got you pretty bad.”

Helena: “It just caught me off guard is all.”

Ulrike: “And all that talk about deception?”

Helena: “I doubt I’ll be meeting a con artist any time soon.”

[cosmonadarovicarts]

What do you think about the theory that Eve and Lilith are the same person?

I try to be open-minded to these theories, but I just can't accept this one hahaha

Not because I like that there are two different characters, but because the series hasn't shown anything really valid to prove this theory.

Just by introducing the story, they already show Lilith AND Eve. The two took different paths. how could it be possible for Lilith to be banished in hell with Lucifer -and gaining power -while Eve was outside of Eden, surviving and having thousands of children?

Until the iconic Lucifer vs. Adam fight scene, Lucifer says he got both of them, and Adam only got mad when he mentioned Eve.

Now the points that the defenders of this theory say: those character cards where Lilith's face does not appear - and her hair appears to be in Eve's hairstyle - the fact that Lilith is in heaven AND - the most iconic - the mysterious woman who carries Charlie in the song scene between Charlie and Lucifer.

I can't see how that would prove it's Eve and Lilith being the same person. Let's break it down:

this Lilith card: honestly, this card shows that we don't know Lilith yet. and the possibilities would be: is there really some entity possessing her body -Roo, Eve herself? Is Lilith keeping a secret? anyway, theories, and none that would lead to Lilith being Eve - ar most that eve would be possessing her body for some reason (??)

About lilith in the sky. Look, there's a lot of theories about it. she could have simply gotten tired of fighting the sky, she could have been plotting something against the sky... But she could be Eve?? I'm almost 100% sure Eve didn't go to heaven. she committed the act of disobedience. And what would that be like?? Would this Lilith/Eve character be switching places all the time? time materializing in hell and then in heaven?

and finally, the mysterious female figure from the Charlie and Lucifer song. It would be hilarious if it really was just Lilith. but I understand the appreciation that so many people had in this scene. In cartoons, in character design it is essential that their silhouette and colors differ from others. So it's understandable why that hair with a different hairstyle causes so much uproar, especially because Lilith's appearance was shown in the portraits. I'm not trying to put an end to this issue, but there are other possibilities that are more... plausible than being Lilith and Eve at the same time - even if it were just Eve it would make more sense.

Now let's talk about script construction. Seriously, what would the series gain from a plot like that? a lot of plot holes - just the fact that Eve ended up with Adam having children and Lilith in hell would break this. It's a confusing theory, which takes away the weight of the creation of these characters: Lilith being born from the same Dust as Adam, being her equal & Eve being born from Adam's rib.

Anyway, I think this theory would just make the series confusing and a little strange, with unnecessary complexity. At most, I think it would be reasonable for Eve to have possessed Lilith's body, which is still super weird.

Jungkook in AYS: I love it, so much fun, I love it, oh my god I love it here, I’m having so much fun “skipping around excitedly”

Miss netta from arkansas: Oh my poor baby, he looks so bored and tired, he didn’t wanna be there, he looks like he isn’t having any fun

Jungkook in Sapporo: Oh my God I will remember this memories when I am in the military, “takes pictures of his seat number at a restaurant” “puts his head on Jimin’s shoulder while they are both sharing earphones listening to the same song”

Shruti from India: Oh my god, look at Jimin and Bighit torturing Jk, he looks so depressed and sad, he doesn’t wanna be there, he spent the whole time on his phone talking to his tete😪🥹

Jungkook to Jimin: This is where we came on our first trip

jimin: yea

jungkook: “while touching his nape affectionately and looking at him and speaking in the softest tone ever” that’s why I wanted to come back.

Sonia from the philipines: Oh my God look at Jungkooks eyes, he was forced to go there, he was forced to read that script, he hates it there, he just wants to be with his boyfriend, bighit you will go bankrupt.

Jungkook: Let’s go to Jeju next. We can play cards, boardgames, and take rides. We can also go to that mackerel restaurant. You like mackerel right

jimin: I do

Tkkrs on tumblr: See he didn’t want to go, he looks frustrated at Jimin, he is mad at Jimin for making him go, he hates everything

Jungkook: I want us to do another 12 seasons, even after our military service, lets do it till we are 50

Tkkrs from twt: He didn’t wanna do this. Curse Jimin and bighit for making him do this. Jimin is such a predator, Jimin is such an attention seeker, Jimin is trying to feed his cult by using Jungkook

Jungkook: Ah I am free

The cult: He is in bondage. That company is making him do this when he would have rather stayed home in his lonely dark house, drinking himself to stupor, falling asleep on Live.

You lot are a big bunch of insecure as losers! Does it make you feel good when you sit here and lie to yourselves? Do you get some kind of validation in forcing yourselves to believe that Jk isn’t having a great time? Does it validate your ship to you when you sit here disrespecting Jungkook’s own choices and his words? Jungkook’s actions and words in AYS goes against everything you just said and you know it but because of your insecurity, you sit here lying to yourself and your fellow delusionals.

When Jungkook doesn’t lift his head to even look in Tae’s direction after he complained about his neck hurting, that is true love to you.

When Jungkook skips past tae excitedly, leaving him behind to go jumping, it means nothing or he is just an excited bunny then. When Jungkook calls taehyung weak and Taehyung gets visibly upset, it means nothing but you will sit here grasping at straws and not being able to recognize friendly banter and teasing. In your mind Jk didn’t really want to be with Jimin yet he couldn’t put an end to if after NY but went ahead to suggest two new locations they could go to.

Put your hand on your chest and say : “ I AM A WITCH” “ MY HEART IS RIDDEN WITH JEALOUSY, BITTERNESS AND INSECURITY” “ I MAKE UP THINGS IN MY HEAD AND BELIEVE THEM” “ I ONLY BELIEVE JUNGKOOK’S WORDS WHEN THEY VALIDATE MY DELULU BUT IGNORE THEM WHEN THEY DON’T”

This should be your daily mantra, you and the other idiots like yourself.

I don’t feel like arguing with you maybe someone will care enough to read all this and respond but I don’t so I hope you feel better.

why aren't more usamericans talking about the save act and how it's voter suppression. how many people are actually aware of this bill. it was introduced to the house in early january. this is disenfranchisement happening under everyone's noses.

(please, if someone that can read legal speak better than me catches any misinformation in this post: correct me or provide clarification as needed. it would be greatly appreciated)

H.R. 22 SAVE Act would require proof of valid us citizenship in order to vote. proof includes REAL ID, a US passport, a military identification card with records showing that applicant was born in the US, or photo ID along with birth certificate, an american indian card, or a naturalization certificate. If an applicant presents photo ID that mismatches their secondary documentation, they could potentially be barred from registration.

this will disproportionately affect marginalized communities in the united states. people of color will be affected. people who are married with different last names (especially women) will be affected. queer and trans people who have changed their name will be affected. young people, houseless americans, anyone who may not have all their paperwork will be affected. disabled people will be affected by changes to mail in voter registration. the bill also requires states to conduct frequent voter purges to challenge those who they believe may not be valid citizens under the claims they are "protecting the integrity and sanctity of american elections" and supposedly preventing voter fraud.

this, in addition to every executive order recently passed (such as the attacks on birthright citizenship and on trans people's ability to receive passports) is an attempt to control election outcomes. no one should be withheld from their right to vote and this would suppress millions of usamericans.

contact your local representative and urge them to vote against this. call whoever you can. 5calls.org has a phone script for those who need it. ACLU also has an email form. this cannot come to pass under any circumstance.

CAUSE VS. CANON: Making the Case for Qcard

*Warning: May trigger some Qcard shippers*

I had an interesting conversation with a friend yesterday about loving certain dynamics in stories, like Star Trek's Qcard for example, and how nitpicker fans and shippers analyze the writers' work, the actors' performances, etc. to show that a dynamic/relationship is true/canon.

She insisted that if you look hard enough to find proof that a relationship between two characters is canon, or has validity, you will find it "*simply because you want it to be true, even if it's not.*" 😡😡😡

She called it "nitpicking for a cause."

As a devoted and longtime Qcard shipper, I bristled at her comment, and I proceeded to explain how writers intentionally weave dynamics into their scripts and stories through devices, including: parallels, such as STP S2's Q/Picard and Teresa/Rios, and through lines, such as STP S1: the butterfly motif, (Q)ueen cards, (Picard's unusual luck in surviving the explosion), which led to S2 Q's butterfly comments, the S2 trailer (Q)ueen card, The Sun/Q motif, Q, of course, and his lesson to Picard about opening himself up to love, so that he could be chosen by someone else to be loved in return. Then, in S3, we had Q's last minute return signaled by the Sun, and Picard allowing himself to love Jack and being accepted by Jack.

I also pointed out that Trek writers choose very specific words for actors to use at unusual times to indicate dynamics, too.

Ex: Picard (S2): I always filed Q as *unknowable.*

@porgthespacepenguin and @celestialholz both have meta-analyses on Qcard that beautifully prove Qcard as canon by the writers.

She still insisted at this point that I was nitpicking, intellectualizing dialogue, and over-analyzing all because I WANTED Qcard to be real.

Finally, I told her that writers, such as Cindy Appel, producers, like Akiva Goldsman, and Ron D. Moore, as well as actors Patrick Stewart and John de Lancie backed it up, too.

She then said, "Well, De Lancie was told to act a certain way and read the script."

I then pounced, saying that although actors follow scripts, they do have some agency in their performance. John de Lancie and Patrick Stewart both made deliberate choices in their portrayals, using certain types of body language, voice inflections, facial expressions that added credence to Qcard.

At this point, she gave up the fight and smartly so.

I mean for her or anyone else to suggest we Qcard shippers find those nuances/subtext/indications woven into a script and performance out of a desire or desperation for it to be canon irritates me.

My friend then asked me, "Why can't you just casually watch something, like Star Trek and enjoy it for what it is? Why all this analysis?"

It's a fair question.

I guess it's because while I can casually watch something and enjoy it at face value, other things, such as Qcard are like finding gold dust on the ground. You see gold on the surface, and it's great. You could make some money from selling that gold dust, sure.

But, if you dig just a bit deeper, you find a rich gold mine worth much more. Much more satisfying.

So, what do you think?

Was my friend correct in saying we Qcard shippers analyze and nitpick for The Cause?

Or, are we actually on to something?

THANK YOU FOR VALIDATING ME.

I couldn't believe it when I read Artem's card online. I had to double and triple check to see if that's what they wrote, and I couldn't be happier. Made my night and my day. Lol

I also love the additional implication here, which is that he probably wrote more than one piece of fanfiction work, if he's able to fill an entire notebook with his writings.

Idk how big the notebook in question is, but I can say that's a lot of pages to fill.

RIGHT????! IT'S SO??

artem please share your fanfic i mean scripts with the class i promise we'll all be very normal about it. artem. artem please.

SHUT UP NO WAYYY

THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO???! HELPPPPP. LEGIT THE EXACT SAME THING. right down to "well i like that card a lot too so i can't be too mad" LMAO
