fallen prey to saying stupid shit on the internet without thinking and coming off as incredibly rude and insensitive. i feel sick to my stomach. never commenting on anything else ever again. deserve to be squashed under someone’s shoe and ground into powder. in all seriousness this has shocked me so much that i am quitting every platform but tumblr for however long it takes for me to get some sense knocked into my dumb fucking skull
#actually considering deleting the clock app rn#what i said was so so bad and it could’ve been avoided if i’d fucking READ WHAT I WROTE and thought abt it FOR ONE GODDAMN MINUTE#i genuinely feel like i’m going to throw up being seen (fairly. justifiably) as mean is like the worst thing#and i don’t deserve to be wining abt this bc i’m the one who hurt someone but good god#PLEASE make sure that when you say something online you would SAY IT TO THEIR FACE#ive gotten to used to this brusque rude dark humor on the internet that i don’t relaizw using that humor INDISCRIMINATELY WITH STRANGERS is#Not okay#they made a video on it but the video got taken down so i deleted the comment. which might have been more selfish. i don’t know what’s best#-to do in that situation? i’m going to change my fucking username and pfp atp and go off the app entirely because i’m so fucking adhd ames#**ashamed don’t know why is autocorrected to that#ok just deleted the app ‘and all of its data’ so idk if that means my videos (edits) too but atp whatever#maybe it’s impulsive but at least this way i will not know what’s going on ! and never hurt anyone again hopefully. i really hope he saw my#-comments before his response was deleted because i want them to know it was not intentional and i am truly so so sorry#i don’t know how i’m going to function for the rest of the day. i’m going to think about this when i go to sleep for the rest of my life#i feel sick#i’m evil#and being evil isn’t fun silly times it literally makes me want to throw up from how bad i am#too much ranting in the tags and i deserve to be fucking shot in the mouth#but i need somewhere to put this that no one will see this but that is also public so that someone might see and know how sorry i am#feel like fucking bojack horseman#unironically how am i supposed to go on living. how can i live knowing i’m so bad. if i don’t kill myself im being selfish because i’m mak-#-omg everyone deal with my presence and live with a bad person.#i think i’m going too social media entirely except for tumblr maybe bc i can’t or don’t rly talk to anyone on here#i need someone to like give me a good meaning but not in a cathartic way in a way that it genuinely hurts so bad and makes me feel the full#suffering i deserve

Do you ever mix up names? I love your stories, but I am shit at names and as your pantheon/league grows I find myself increasingly turned around by all the north american dude names (first, last, AND hockey nicknames!!!). I can usually keep track of the on-going series names and names that are less common in North America (Kiro, Sven), but if I'm reading, say, an ask or rereading I usually have remind myself who is who first.
I don't mix them up between themselves and other characters in either a similar name way (James vs Jake, say) or roles (mixing up say, Wheels and Craney and Matty).
(This got so long and off topic, why does this always happen)
What I do mix up is sort of more of a...muscle memory thing, maybe? I'm writing the word, say, gorgeous, and I have to delete georgieous first, because my fingers apparently have become a phone's autocorrect function. I actually did write James as Jake a few times when I was deep deep in editing BTT, but again, it was just sort of like...an autofill error between my brain and my fingers.
The names themselves I'm pretty good with, though I do worry about whether I'll continue to be as a) the pantheon continues to expand (I love this by the way, and now I'm probably going to spend the rest of my evening mentally assigning characters places in the pantheon) and b) I get older. And both things seem pretty inevitable to me.
Unfortunately, the two things I appear to have in common with Leo Tolstoy are brevity and 'these people have three names, and I'm going to use them all interchangeably'. (ie Vinny is Thomas to himself, but Vinny to literally everybody else including me. And sometimes Tommy but only to Anton and his parents and only sometimes. Anton's alternately Anton, Petrov, Tony to Vinny and teammates, or Antosha to his family.)
I'd honestly apologise for it but it's one of those things that's really inextricable from the sort of...falling into a perspective way that I write, the same way I write in American English for American characters and Canadian English for Canadians, or use Christian (and specifically Catholic) references in Robbie or Georgie's POVs but never, say, Mike's or David's, unless we count Mike's very liberal usage of the word goddamn (and it's lowercase with him, but it'd be Goddamn to Robbie.)
And the different vocabularies extends to names. Like William Dineen is William to Robbie, he specifically asked to be called that when he was a teenager who wanted to feel more adult, and Robbie respected that then and continues to now. Georgie respected it in another way -- he was Willy to him, and now he uses Will, which William is fine with, but only with immediate family.
But in the text itself Georgie would never use William, because it'd feel distant to him, and Robbie would never use Will because he'd consider that disrespectful after William specifically requested to be called that, and me choosing one or the other wouldn't be in character, so he's Will and he's William, but never Willy (that's Tate Williams).
I make this all sound like a much more conscious process than it is. A lot of this stuff I've only figured out via metacognition of my writing process, which is, by necessity, done in hindsight.
My original answer to questions like 'why did you do _____ that way?' is invariably '*shrug* felt right', and people tend to find that...unsatisfying, so I often investigate further, and the answer becomes 'felt right because of <this reason I was in no way consciously aware of during the writing process>'. As I've said to my poor beleaguered editor, a lot of my writing process is 'just vibes'. I follow good vibes. Bad vibes tell me something's not working, and I adjust accordingly. I think a lot (I cannot tell you how many times I've been accused of overthinking things), but when it comes to writing, most of it's happening beyond my own perception, so instead it feels more like gut instinct. (which is, indeed, what gut instinct often boils down to: pattern recognition going on beneath one's conscious awareness)

SO AMERICAN AU AHHHHHH ❤❤❤
another little excerpt here :))
(this hasn't been beta read yet if there are any mistakes that's all on meee and there probably are lmao)
“You know what you need?” Cecil tells him as soon as he walks into the studio. “A break from dating.”
Will snorts. He’s got that now, even if he hadn’t really wanted it in the first place.
“Cecil’s right, for once,” Lou Ellen nods, taking her seat by the keyboard. “Don’t worry about finding your true love for once. It’ll come when you’re ready!”
“Or it won’t,” Cecil adds.
“Or it won’t,” Lou Ellen agrees.
Will shakes his head, pulling a guitar into his lap and strumming absently. He never really goes into the studio with something planned—usually his inspiration is struck by something that Lou Ellen or Cecil suggests, and then it unravels from there—but this time, he feels particularly unprepared. “Thanks,” he says sarcastically. 
“So, have you written anything in the past few weeks?”
Will winces. The lack of motivation to write isn’t necessarily a new problem. He had returned from his tour in February. Lester, though acting pretty laidback and carefree about it, has said that for planning, a single should be ready by the end of June. The rest of the album should be finished by late August, giving the label enough time to look over it and polish it and prepare for release.
Of course, Lester told him this with the added on, but really, take your time, no pressure!
Will still can’t really tell if his manager had been sincere about that.
Either way, they’ve got a few drafts for songs in the vault. But it’s not much. It’s not enough, at the very least. And it’s currently mid-May, which leaves him with a little over a month to get a song he likes enough to be the lead single written and recorded.
He’s about to tell them, no, he really hasn’t, but he decides to at least check his phone. Honestly, the journal that he keeps is just for aesthetics, because he never remembers to write stuff down in there in the first place, and he also really appreciates his phone’s autocorrect. Plus, he has to admit that though he never actually did go to college for pre-med, his friends all claim that he’s got the doctor’s handwriting down to a tea.
There’s a series of notes of anything and everything—mainly stuff that he can’t even comprehend or half-started grocery lists that he forgot to look back to. He scrolls through them all, finding his most recent note that actually sounds like something dated May 3rd. 
It looks like a love song. That can’t be right. He may have been dumped abruptly, but he has to admit that it was to no one’s surprise that that relationship didn’t last. Not that Will hadn’t written love songs—which he had—but certainly not two weeks before it ended.
What had happened May 3rd? He had been… well, the Met Gala had been the day before, so he assumes that this was after—
The angel. Of course he had ended up writing a song about him, likely on the drive home, when he had gotten away from the crowds of people and had a few drinks and probably forgotten why exactly that conversation hadn’t led into anything more.
He huffs, scanning over the lyrics, his thumb hovering over the delete button, because Will may not have had the best track record with relationships, but he wasn’t a cheater.
Then again, this song is easily the best thing he’s written in months. “I wrote something,” he tells Lou Ellen, selecting the text and copying it to send it to their groupchat. “You tell me if it’s worth anything.”

OOC POST!!
(not posting this on the dip account because it’s not related to pip at all.)
THIS IS IMPORTANT!! I apologize for this post but I’m sensitive currently (life as a ftm, haha funny, ok jokes over)
SO, Me and Cody HAVE stated that we put some problems that we have on pip and damien. I put spelling on Damien, it made sense to me because he hasn’t been in the real world for a long enough time to actually learn, he wasn’t taught to read. All he heard was to spell it out. That is why his words make no sense.
so, I can’t spell too good either. I am using autocorrect to type constantly, usually my words woufld liosjk look ljjek this withouebt deleting it or using autocorrect. And I usually just avoid using words I can’t spell when autocorrect doesn’t work.
i don’t really want it to be pointed out by anyone but me and cody even though it is very obvious, but to the person who said something about it before, i will let it slide for now
apologies again
Sinclerly, dairne darian or damien.

LCU (Loki Cinematic Universe) Rewatch Part Three here we come!
Thor: the Dark World
Oh Gods I forgot how…indescribable this movie is. I have no words. The outfits and settings look so real and the elves look so fake?
Me every time I see Loki: oOmMgGg Hiiiiiiiiiii 😘
“Mother did I make you proud?” And the whole way he handles this scene…How did anyone ever take him seriously - no wonder he went off the rails, that’s his greatest fear
“Do you not feel the gravity of your crimes” ok this is pure speculation but going off of what we know about Loki’s moral and emotional system - he’s capable of remorse and empathy, but he tends to compartmentalize and bury guilt and shame, repress and conceal his true feelings, and rationalize, minimize and justify his actions instead of accepting what he sees as weakness, so yes, I’d imagine that deep down he absolutely fucking feels it. And it don’t feel good.
Loki justifies his imperialism genocide and violence in an imperial genocidal militaristic society but the second he becomes king he decreases military intervention something something (one of the good bits of Ragnarok)
“I don’t enjoy hurting people” But Odin does. And so Loki pretends to.
BOOOOOO Odin no one likes you BOOOOOOO SCREW YOU
oMggg Sif hiiiiiii. Look at her, Thor. LOOK at her! With your eyes! She prettyyyyy
Odin and Thor: talking about Thor’s love life. Loki probably: rocking back in forth in his cell because no one’s ever gonna love him. Another Loki at the same time: chasing his soulmate across spacetime because she pulled a Loki on him and he finds that endearing
The sets and ambiance of Asgard are gorgeous how do I move there
Yet another obscure character I don’t remember, Darcy’s in the comics now I’m so proud, Selvig’s lost his last marble, so have I Selvig, so have I
The weird gravity/time space anomaly/warp thing in that abandoned building actually makes for a fun scene. You cannot change my mind on this. The Aether is pretty creepy though ngl.
Thor and Jane are so cringe together. I love them. They also break my heart
The plot of this movie is really…something
Loki and Frigga’s bond actually makes me teary I know they didn’t have the best relationship it was strained and toxic at times but omg they care about eachother so much I’m getting emotional…she genuinely was the only person Loki truly loved in a healthy way. And he fucking lost her. FUCK
Cut to me relating to Loki so much it makes me physically recoil. I’d get into why but I’m not trauma dumping today.
“I don’t know why Loki helped the dark elf get into the palace”…lol stop lying to yourself you know the reason very well. You have the same resentment and lust for chaos inside you that Loki does…that desperate grief that makes you want to burn down the world that burned you. you know. I see my worst in Loki, and his story gives me hope that I can change. There’s a good chance I will die young (medical shit) and Loki dying young also gives me comfort.
This movie is peak Loki. I just fucking adore the little shit. I just aahfhkjkmng *aggressively squeezes*
Heimdall is underrated
Someone on discord said Frigga autocorrected to Fridged on their phone and Frigga’s dying and that’s all I can think about rip…bruh this scene hits a lot harder after my dad’s death ✌️
HE WASNT EVEN ALLOWED AT HER FUCKING FUNERAL FUCK YOU ODIN DRINK BLEACH!!!!Anyways I forgot how cinematic and heartbreakingly beautiful the funeral was
YOU CAN SEE THE SPARK LEAVE HIS FUCKING EYES IM GONNA FIGHT ODIN IN A DENNYS PARKING LOT. I’m ending on the Loki illusion scene for tonight because it’s 3 am and I’m in emotional distress.
How can anyone watch the illusion scene and the deleted bits and actually believe Loki is a cold hearted psychopath? I have this fucked up headcanon that Loki almost attempted suicide after Frigga’s death and either stopped himself…or Thor showed up right on time. I can’t prove it but I know it’s true by gut instinct.
There’s something so weirdly profound about someone who seeks out death being unkillable. Character who thinks he represents death actually represents life. That’s something the Loki series actually did well. They definitely screwed up his character in places, but I can see the backbone of what they intended. I don’t know how to explain this, but I don’t ship Sylvie with TVA Loki, I ship her with Pre-Ragnarok Loki. Aka, I characterize TVA Loki as closer to OG Loki than he is thus far.
There’s a tiny detail about Loki that makes me go feral. You have to psychoanalyze a little, but Loki doubts his brother even cares about him, so whenever Thor says he feels betrayed and threatens him, Loki smiles. It means Thor cared. It means there’s hope. Negative attention is better than none at all. Disappointment is better than apathy. I wish I didn’t know how he feels.

12
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
305, 330 😮

conflict of interest
reckoner
change like shifting shadows
want you around
strangers on a train

always! someone took the time to comment, i love that! don’t always reply right away though.
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
not really a fic but the clover drabble
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
maybe truth or dare. it’s still angsty but ends in a good place
7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?
no, but i definitely find inspiration from other media (shows, movies, music)
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
fuckin’ TERFs. why are they on ao3 of all places? also just general criticism, someone said “your lot are crazy with this priest ian business” LOL. anyways i turned off anon and my experience has been much more positive on ao3. delete and move on.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
always! i love writing it! not a specific kind but i will only ever write queer smut. i’ve written m/m (cis and trans), f/f (debbie/sandy) and i love writing soft d/s

Thanks @oxygenforthewicked for the WiP Wednesday tag!  I’m not writing this week due to Reasons, but I dug this out and I hope it’s amusing.  Texting Thursday?  IDK.  Lol.  A little Darian Tabris x Zevran Arainai x Liana Mahariel (plus baby Adaia)
Arainai/Mahariel/Tabris Family Chat
...
Darian:  So say somebody got rested last night
Darian:  Arrested
Darian:  But they already got bailed out and theres no charges filed 
Darian:  Because someone had proof of 
Darian: Hang on autocorrects not getting it
Darian: Excessive force 
Darian:  The **** Templar’s Office isn’t going to file charges cousin **** threatened to release video of them threatening to curb stomp me when I stopped them beating on um this mage ****
Zevran: Don’t use speech to text.  You always get angry at it. 🖤
Darian:  I’m tired of **** spelling things wrong shut up and listen okay
Darian:  How I get it to make a question
Zevran:  You have to say question mark.
Darian:  They kept me overnight just to scare me **** cowards like I ain’t been in jail before I burned down **** Denerim once
Darian:  Well three blocks of it anyways
Zevran:  Your wife wants me to tell you that she’s going to kill you.
Darian:  **** why’s she just my wife?
Zevran:  My wife would never have a reason to get so angry.  Obviously.  I do not get caught. 
Darian:  That’s not how it works she’s your wife even when she’s mad at me
Zevran:  Did you get video of you fighting them?  I’m assuming that is what happened.
Darian:  Yea I got the whole thing Shianni recorded it
Zevran:  Send it I want to watch. 🗡️
Lia:        NO.
Darian:  Hi bby
Zevran:  That is my cue to open a bottle of wine.
Lia:        You put that video on a physical storage device and delete it off of your phone RIGHT now!  How many times have I lectured you about data security?
Darian:  lol
Lia:       Derry don’t you dare laugh this off.  I’m very serious.  You need backups, you need physical storage, and you need to delete it off your phone.
Darian:  Love you baby
Lia:       What does that have to do with anything?
Darian:  I got **** arrested and this is what you’re worried about it’s just cute as ****
Zevran:  It is extremely cute.
Lia:       Yes it’ll be very cute when the Templars you upset show up at your door, take your phone and destroy it, and beat you to within an inch of your life.  Do you not remember what happened in Amaranthine to Anders?  
Zevran:  No love that doesn’t sound cute.
Lia:        You’re not helping.
Zevran:  Oh.  I was not trying to help.  I am a neutral party in this debate.
Lia:        Data security isn’t something we can be complacent over!

Zevran:  No
Darian:  Lolol

Darian:  Gee wonder where she got that from
Zevran:  [image ID: an elven toddler with dark brown curls, golden eyes, and sunglasses on top of her head is dressed in a fuzzy purple bathrobe and Griffey Griffin cartoon character slippers.  She’s holding a wine glass that’s much too large for her, full of pale effervescent liquid.  Her face is painted with garish makeup and a child’s attempt at drawing Vallaslin, and her tiny fingernails have been carefully painted black.]
Darian:  IS THAT FUCKING WINE?
Lia:       …Derry it’s sparkling grape juice.  Baby wine.
Zevran:  Seriously love?
Darian:   Can’t you put it inn one of her little plastic cups or something shell break it
Darian:  We don’t have many good dishes
Lia:        You bought that wine glass from the dollar store.
Zevran:  Did he really think we would give her wine?
Lia:        From a man who spent the night in jail, no less.
Darian:   🤬
Zevran:  😂 
Lia:        Good job successfully changing the subject, Zev.
Zevran:  😏 😏 🖤
Zevran:  Addy wants you to do my nails, too.
Lia:        Do you want black, purple, orange, or holographic sparkles?
Zevran:  Orange with sparkles.  Do you do Orlesian tips?
Darian:   That sounds like a sex thing
Lia:         It really does.
Darian:  GTG babe sweetie I will try not to get arrested again
Darian:  Love
Zevran:  I love you.  Addy loves you too.
Lia:        I love you, please send me the video.  Have Shianni delete it, too.
Darian:  Data security
Zevran:  Data security!

22 March 2023 Wednesday 12:12 pmpdt
felt a weird twinge of pain I think it was my heart I’m not sure. It could have been acid eating my heart. 12:13 vag acid pain 12:13 pmpdt I was questioning the miñion? Incubus? Whoever was hurting me. I said in my mind maybe you’re the one who did that to Jon benet Ramsey . I think they might have originally said there was sperm? Maybe that’s why the Wikipedia said dna of a man? So I said he’s probably a sick psycho. & then he attacked me. I think that’s an omission of guilt. A heinous one. 12:17 pmpdt at the price of my life.
12:51 pmpdt incubus/miñion think they’re better than everyone even though they probably are the most guilty of doing the dirtiest heinous things in the universe. That’s what an incubus is by definition: a rapist, torturess, murderer. Omission of guilt by historical? Title. Yet, in vehement??? (Def?) denial! DENIAL!!!! 12:54 pmpdt arrogant I find him to be. Twisted caught up in his own maniacal? Ego! EGO! 12:55 pmpdt
12:55 pmpdt with his power he can get away with ANY CRIME! iNCLUDING CHILD RAPE! & torture! & murder! A narcissist he is to the worse degree!!!! 12:56 pmpdt
12:58 pmpdt I think tumblr deleted all my sexy boy followers... throat acid pain 12:59 pmpdt oh I’m not all powerful all seeing all knowing omniscient? Of course I only know what YOU did to me what you HAVE BEEN CAPABLE of. So should I extrapolate??? (Def?) 1 pm pdt should I hypothesize????? Educated GUESS???? 1:01 pmpdt do I have FREE SPEECH or does it come at a price????? Bcz free = should mean no price no cost! Right? But it comes at a cost at incubus’ will! Heinous. Piece of *********** <- I can’t decide on a word. 1:02 pmpdt
1:03 pmpdt I spelled bot. Incubus controlled the autocorrect. Bot was changed to not in previous sentence. 😑 1:04 pmpdt
1:04 pmpdt sexy bot followers. 1:05 pmpdt
1:05 pmpdt I updated the previous post on about high school dances. They playing a lot of psychological games. Incubus mentioned reverse psychology stuff to me. Example of it is if you know him to be demon lord, & then he posts that men should not make laws about women bodies you know he’s playing games. Omission of guilt! Am I using omission right? I pick up these words from tv & readings. 1:08 pmpdt
1:09 pmpdt my aunt relied on my mom a lot all her life. My mom said she used to ditch everyone when they had to do chores to hang out with other kids to have fun. & even as an adult when she needed stuff like get tires changed she had to hold her hand & take her to a place to get it done like Costco. & that’s how she chooses to be. 1:11 pmpdt she’s going to make excuses like that she’s this or that. Do you think she really cared my mom had no time for fun at all even when she was a kid? She had to be a mom & accountant when she was 7 years old. 1:13 pmpdt does that make someone happy? She had to gather fire wood & do laundry in a river. They didn’t always have electricity. She had to go to school & correct everyone’s homework. Aunt that weird? Teachers made the top students do that work but I believe her. 1:15 pmpdt my aunt is selfish & greedy. 1:15 pmpdt
1:15 pmpdt my aunt will probably give all the credit to god that my mom ever helped her. She will probably say that Bcz incubus says that. Incubus didn’t do the laundry in the river. But incubus & aunty will probably justify it anyway they want. 1:16 pmpdt heinous b*txhes. 1:17 pmpdt
2:04 pmpdt *ain’t that weird? Not aunt...
2:05 pmpdt so, if he tests me, how do you know he don’t use the same technique to harvest artistic ideas from me to steal? Bcz you know what they say: great artist steal! 2:07 am pdt
2:08 pmpdt bcz child rape happened how do you know he did not have the curiosity to try it himself & get addicted? It probably happened to Jon benet Ramsey & it happened to dugard. They had children. 2:10 pmpdt
2:10 pmpdt a lot of things in this world don’t make sense. If you think about it. But sh*t happened. Bcz it happened, I HAVE to question it. Behati still looked like a child in her jean pants when they first started dating. How do you know that he’s not attracted to 11 year olds? 12 year olds? 13 year olds? 14 year olds? Romeo & Juliet Shakespeare. Someone said Juliet was most likely 13 or 14 years old. If a play is based on a character that young, is that a reflection of reality? Art imitating life? 2:14 pmpdt
2:15 pmpdt likes to inflict pain stinging probably acid pain on my lips. I’m not lying about what I heard. Bcz stuff happened I need to consider all the possibilities & figure out the reasons. 2:17 pmpdt bcz p*nis likes a vag it can feel so if it likes that it probably likes something that fits like a glove. A tight seal. Virgin seal. 2:18 pmpdt bcz I need to consider that at least some men are like animals, & vicious & heinous... I need to draw my own conclusions. 2:19 pmpdt
2:29 pmpdt so there is no mission. It’s made up Bcz everyone is wicked. If they already knew what I was going to be & keep me as a zombie for 99.8% of my life with very controlled minimal testing... forgot my point... they already knew what I was going to be, I’m here for the heinous people to torture. Bcz they enjoy it 24/7. 2:32 pmpdt all it is is for capitalism. For heinous torture. 2:33 pmpdt if incubus is god then god is heinous & likes torture. It makes him happy & smile. Nothing puts a bigger smile on his face even though he probably felt no pain from those tattoos. He’s probably never felt pain in his life. Life is good for incubus. Incubus is a liar 24/7. He lied to me about marriage & children & love. How do you know what his limits are? No limits probably. 2:36 pmpdt why do you think he makes his voice sound like a castrated angel? Bcz he wants to rape children? Women like deeper voices for a man when they are older. But when they are younger they will probably be tricked into false security with that voice. 2:38 2:39 pmpdt
2:39 pmpdt I will never believe in incubus again. There are no limits to his lies. He is probably a child rapist. 2:40 pmpdt
2:42 pmpdt I saw that Courtney Scott’s ex probably works for the r*iders fo*tball team? In Las Vegas. 2:43 pmpdt
2:43 pmpdt don’t trust incubus. If Scott & incubus are bros, he probably rapes Courtney. 2:44 pmpdt
2:45 pmpdt nicolatian crap.
2:49 pmpdt YouTube
/watch?v=4t5gXccZw6l
should be story book reading of everyone poops
i or L that last letter. 2:51 pmpdt
there’s nothing to fight for Bcz everyone is wicked/evil. But I was made to care enough to stop a little boy white toddler from running out of a tall frys electronics store with stairs & a king ramp escalator? Outside. When I was with my friend. 2:53 pmpdt when I was 19 years old. 2:54 pmpdt
2:55 pmpdt the incubus changed king to king. LONG. Damn you! Stop using auto correct. Keeps using reverse psychology crap on me. acid pain throat. He uses it as an excuse to hurt me. Heinous b*tch. If women were evil how do babies survive before incubus!? Heinous b*tch! 2:58 pmpdt
2:59 pmpdt men have no alibi there. All polygamous who like to abandon pregnant women. Probably have to rely on grandmas. 3 pmpdt
3:04 pmpdt borrow born to run in paper & audiobook. You’ll hear probably about tarahumara women who run/walk & probably I think I remember they’re always on the move. Labor is probably easy for them & they keep on going. 3:06 pmpdt
3:07 pmpdt all I see now thanks to incubus are that men are selfish heinous animals polygamous with side chicks are many lies lying about love and are addicted to only s*x & will look for any easy hole to stick their p*nis into. American pie movie with pies. Dildos sun lamb pens in ag high school farms probably to test it b4 doing it. 3:10 pmpdt
3:11 pmpdt dildos in. Not sun.
3:13 pmpdt and they’re probably smart w/ big heads = probably big brains. They probably spend all day thinking of which hole to stick their p*nis into next & how to not get caught (acid throat pain back of left skull pain).
A3:16 pmpdt incubus made me type A. Reverse psychology after incubus/miñion hurt my gum tooth dientes = die in test. Spanish for teeth. 3:18 pmpdt if incubus is Jesus Jesus does not love you. They wanted me to believ last year? 2021? 2021. That the Bible apocalypse is reverse psychology to rub it in my face that I’m dying. And there’s no resurrection. Now they want to type 316 Bcz of the Bible. 😫😑😩 NO. You cannot convince me anymore. 3:21 pmpdt
3:23 pmpdt I don’t want that heinous lying man near me.

This is a real question, I’m genuinely asking, so please reply not like an asshole PLEASE but
Is it really bad if I go back to using the iPhone app? Like I can’t remember exactly why I deleted it and started using a browser I just know there was a kerfuffle of “TUMBLR IS ABOUT TO NOT WORK” on it and “THEY’RE CENSORING” and “NO ONE WILL SEE YOUR POSTS ANYMORE” but I can’t recall any details behind it.
I 100% concede Apple is a terrible company no question but for now I have the phone I have (and no PC or laptop or anything else I own) and I’m stuck in a contract for this phone and blah blaaaaah. My main problem is I have been using mobile browsers for months since said kerfuffle and it fucking SUCKS. It’s glitchy ALL THE TIME. There are whole functions I can’t figure out how to do that used to be easy… I can usually not type right because autocorrect on my phone freaks out in Tumblr mobile posts…like typing and retyping and correcting this takes 2-3 times longer on Tumblr than any other app. I have to constantly end non responsive pages and start over on shit I’m writing.
I’ve tried Chrome, DuckDuckGo, Firefox, and (ewww) Safari and they all interact terribly w/ mobile Tumblr use and I’m about to rip all my fucking hair out. I‘m seriously over it. It’s super hard for me to know that I used to have a 500% easier experience on here.
So someone please gently remind me WHY I am doing this before I give the fuck up.

Clandestine Meetings - James Rodríguez
Player: James Rodríguez
Word count: 1.280
Prompt: “Hello, can the next swap sunday projects be another part of Illciit Affairs (for you) and a sequel to Mirrorball (for Laura)? ✨” (Request by Anon)
A/N: Another Swap Sunday, another angsty James piece! ✨💗 This story is a sequel to @alltoolewin’s Mad Woman-inspired imagine 🥰 If you’re new here, you should read my Illicit Affairs fic first, though! 💖
His name lights up on my phone screen. Which lights up my pitch black bedroom. James pink heartlet-purple heartlet-sparkly heartlet. Because a single red one would have been inappropriate. I know damn well that my name in his phone isn't even a name. Just my first initial. Not even a full stop after it. A lonesome letter. Because apparently, that's much less suspicious. 
James pink heartlet-purple heartlet-sparkly heartlet wants to know whether I'm still awake at this ungodly hour. After not talking to me for two whole weeks. "Yes," I type into the message box. I'm a fucking fool for texting back. I hit send. I hit my head against the wall. I'm in love with a married man who's kicking a ball around for a living. Who possibly can't and won't love anything or anyone that isn't his daughter. I'm a fucking mess. Please, James, get a pair of glasses, another one, a better one. What do you even want from me? I can't drink from a can unless someone's asking the waiter for a straw. I can't ask waiters for straws because I'm goddamn shy. I can't. I just can't. So why can't James find himself someone better?
My phone vibrates twice. Three simple letters. A "W", a "Y" and a "D". And a lonely question mark. I don't know who's teaching him English slang, abbreviations, the cool stuff. I don't even know why he's pretending to be cool. As I said, the man kicks a ball around for a living. That's not cool. That's fucking weird, now that I'm thinking about it. 
"Nothing." What would I be doing at three in the morning? I spend my nights staring at my ceiling unless we're having sex. He knows that. "You?" Did I ask out of common courtesy or do I really want to know what's keeping him awake tonight? 
He replies right away. "I'm in bed, I just can't fall asleep."
"Try drinking some tea. That helps."
He sends me an emoji, the facepalming one. I have to laugh, I really cannot help it, but I do find it hilarious when grown-ass men unironically use anything more than just a normal smiley or the occasional thumbs up. James pink heartlet-purple heartlet-sparkly heartlet ups the ante then. "You're a pain in the ass, princesa."
"You're a pain in-" I stop in my tracks. In my fucking vagina. I delete what I've written so far, just to type it out again. "You're a pain in general, Jamesito." I find myself giggling into the darkness. "My aches are developing aches because of you." I add the one emoji with the bandaged head, then I hit send.
"Want me to kiss it better?" It should've been "you're a pain in my vagina". Definitely. 
"James, you're being silly. It's half past three. Go to sleep."
"Told you I'm fucking restless. Talk to me." Pouty puppy-eyed emoji. Dude, please!
I sigh, putting the phone down for a second. Yeah, sure. All of a sudden, I'm interesting again. Because there isn't anything else to entertain him. Of course. I should've known. "What about?" My text immediately is marked as read, homeboy isn't even closing our chat in-between messages it seems. I should be flattered, but instead, I just feel like there's something weird about this. Like, why don't you talk to your wife? Why aren't you on video call with your daughter? It's barely nine in Medellín, I know that. Of course I know that, I've pinned Colombia's local time to my home screen. 
"Can I call you?"
You have a fucking phone in your hand. You certainly can. "No. Come over." I hate myself for putting myself through that. I hope he's got somewhere to be in the morning. I can't help but wish for him to turn me down.
"Now?"
Now... Now it's my turn to send him a facepalming emoji. No. Next Christmas, dummy.
"Okay," he replies after a split second. Okay, I'm coming over? Okay, cool, a stupid little emoji? Okay, fuck off? Okay what? Another second passes. Buzz buzz. "I'll be there in ten."
"Drive safe," my fingers type out. Crash that fucking car. After running me over, of course. End our misery. Please and thank you. I roll out of bed to put on some pants. He can deal with my washed out tee, he's seen worse. My naked body, for example. I stumble into the bathroom to pile on mascara, to take the fluffy, pink scrunchie out of my hair, to wash the thin film of cold sweat off my forehead. I don't know nervousness when it comes to him. There's just... anxiety. Every time we have one of our little fall-outs, my amount of working braincells gets reduced by two.
I sit down on the toilet lid to catch my breath. I'm gonna get dicked down and then discarded. It's okay, I'm used to it. I'm a one-trick-pony. But I'm just so good at that one trick that James keeps on crawling back to me. The pinkish polish on my nails is starting to chip, so I decide to adorn my fingers with a few rings to distract from that. They look cheap, they were cheap, but I consider them cute, so it's alright. 
I don't like texting after my autocorrect has dubbed him Hummus not once, not twice, but several times. He doesn't like calling as his stutter tends to get worse on the phone. So this is nice. The real thing is always nice. "I missed you," he rasps with his arms still wrapped around my torso. "I missed you, too," I whisper back. Lies. I spent a long, long time cursing his name, relatively sure that I would never be moaning it again, that we were over and done. "I still haven't said Happy New Year," he states the obvious. We haven't spoken since Christmas. "No," I confirm, shaking my head. It was the worst New Year's Eve of my life. I've seen the pictures Daniela had posted on her Instagram. At least James has had a great time, apparently. 
"Sorry. I thought I should leave you alone." Yes. Because that's the easy way out. "But... Happy New Year. I guess."
"Thanks. To you, too." It truly feels like New Year's. Waiting for the big something, just to end up disappointed because the big something turns out to be some underwhelming bullshit. "Better late than never." There's still snow on the streets, so it's alright, I guess.
"Yes."
"You're fucking annoying, James."
"Oh. Why?" And fucking stupid as well.
"Did you really come over to stand around in my hallway and wish me a Happy New Year? What are you? A caroler?"
"You told me to come."
"I'm not used to you doing as you're told." I force a laugh. I'm not used to niceties and such. I'm used to... the bad stuff.
He just shrugs. He's so unbelievably apathetic, I hate it! "You have the place to yourself tonight?"
"No. You're here with me." I know quite well that he was referring to my roommate. Who, in fact, is staying with her boyfriend for the weekend. I know quite well that he only asked because he is the furthest thing from an exhibitionist I could imagine. 
"Ah. Yes. True." So damn stupid! I wish I could get up and leave. But I'm already standing and there's no way to escape my own apartment. "Well?" I ask in an awful attempt to make conversation. Well, he's gonna fuck me. He's gonna break my heart once again and I'm gonna like that. We've been there before. And we're gonna be there time and time again.

Okay I have seen several people say that Bryan and Mike supported the original movie until after the backlash and was wondering if you knew of any sources on it?
Okay, I know you just saw some of the stuff I managed to dig up (or had friends find for me, thank you so much @lady-of-bath, you truly are the queen!), but since the internet has been blowing up over the announcement that Bryan and Mike are no longer working on the Netflix live action ATLA remake, I might as well throw this out in public too!
So, in the interest of being as objective as humanly possible, let me start off by saying that the internet being what it is, it’s hard to find sources of information about the creation of a 10-year old, widely panned movie. The fact that I can’t personally find it doesn’t mean that it isn’t out there, or that it wasn’t purged in the past 10 years. But, that said, I wound up with more than I expected. Brace yourselves 😉 (sources will be linked!)
So, back in 2008, both Bryan and Mike were very enthusiastic about the movie. And, in their own words, well... Bryan said:
The one thing we weren't joking about is that we really are helping on the movie quite a bit. Night has been very collaborative from the get-go, from the first time we ever met him. Very respectful of the project and of us. So we're helping out a lot on that.
They also did this interview with M. Night Shyamalan (posted in July 2009, though I’m not sure when it was filmed), in which it was confirmed that:
Bryan and Mike were actively working with M. Night
Bryan and Mike looked over M. Night’s script and approved of the changes 
Bryan and Mike were planning to be on set for filming
Based on the content of the video interview, it’s clear that casting wasn’t complete at the time the interview was filmed, though the initial cast was announced in December 2008, before the interview was posted. So it’s hard to say whether Bryan or Mike had strong feelings about the whitewashing of the cast at the time, but based on the fact that Mike said (6:05 in the video linked above), “Well, if you don’t find anyone for Aang, I’d like to suggest perhaps I could, y’know, maybe play him”, I don’t think whitewashing was high on their list of concerns at the time. I know it’s a joke. I know that. But given Bryke’s tendencies to make insensitive, or downright insulting jokes, then double down on them years later (Book 4: Air, and Bryan’s later repost of the video with the world’s most condescending caption (featuring a dictionary definition of the word “joke”), I’m looking at you) rather than admitting that they were in poor taste (and the fact that that adult Aang looks exactly like Mike with a jawline), I’m inclined to believe that they genuinely DID NOT CARE about the ethnicity of the actors cast at this point. And again, this interview came before the casting and before the associated backlash.
Now, admittedly, this is the last information I can find from Bryke relating to the live action movie before the movie’s release in 2010. And a lot can change in 2 years. According to this post, a lot did change, and not at M. Night’s request, though this is a secondary source of a now-deleted forum post, so the reliability of the information is anyone’s guess. But, that said, there was an active controversy surrounding the casting of the live action beginning in 2008 (taking the timeline from the wiki because I can’t find a semi-comprehensive rundown anywhere else). The movie was released in 2010. Plenty of people associated with the original series made their disapproval public. Bryke, though? The first time I can find them even referring to the live action disaster is in this interview from 2011:
Wall Street Journal: Have you heard anything about whether there will be a sequel to the "Last Airbender" live-action feature film? Michael DiMartino: Uh, no. It's definitely not up to us, so.
No mention of their opinion of the thing. And three years of silence doesn’t exactly equate to an endorsement of the movie, but uh... three years is a lot of time in which they could have made their opinions known, especially about the whitewashing, which was a widely-known problem. 
If they were truly concerned about representation, which seems to be the thing that a LOT of the internet is worried about after their exit from the Netflix live action, wouldn’t they have had something to say about it? Just asking. 
Oh, but they did... eventually. In 2013, 3 years after the movie’s release, and 5 years after they (to my knowledge) last expressed an opinion on the movie, Bryan made this post in response to criticism of the Kataang kids’ skin color in LOK. And he had this to say about the live action movie:
I prefer to stay out of this type of discourse on Tumblr and let the large body of work Mike and I have put out there over the years speak for itself (which obviously DOES NOT include the gross misinterpretations and misrepresentations of our work in this guy’s work). 
That’s as specific as it gets. Pretty passive-aggressive and open to interpretation if you ask me. The only reason you can tell that he’s actually referring to the live action movie is because in the original post, “this guy” links out to M. Night’s page, and the only reason you can tell that he’s referring to the whitewashing of the cast is because the post is a response to similar criticisms levelled against LOK. 
Then apparently there was an interview in 2014 that finally went more in depth on the subject of the live action, but the original was deleted, and the transcript I was able to locate is practically unreadable. No names attached to any of what was said, so I really couldn’t tell you who thought what about the movie, and honestly, if anyone can decipher this garbled mess, I salute you. It seriously looks like a cat walked across a keyboard for an hour while autocorrect went bananas. 
Ah, old internet drama. So hard to track down. 
Anyway, all of that is why the wiki summarizes the situation by saying:
Before the film's release, co-creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino vocally supported the film, even appearing in an interview with M. Night Shyamalan. However, following the film's release and the negative reception it had received, the two remained quiet on the film, making only brief statements on it.
And that is why I’m laughing my butt off with every person I see lamenting Bryke’s exit from the Netflix live action. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have high hopes for the thing. Ideally, I’d like to see the whole thing cancelled, ATLA allowed to go down in history as a great show, and the creators to move on to new, unrelated projects (come on, dudes, you’ve gotta have at least one more original idea you could try instead of beating the ATLA universe into a bloody, unrecognizable pulp). And failing that, I’d like to see the show recreated faithfully, some plot threads in Book 3 tied a little tighter, and no canon romances with the possible exception of Suki/Sokka. But Bryke’s involvement was never a guarantee of quality. Sure, it might suck without them. But it could have sucked just as badly with them on board. Maybe now it will suck in new and unexpected ways!
