6 Signs You Are WAY Too Self-Critical

Shellie R. Warren

Jul. 20, 2019 06:44AM EST

As life would have it, as I'm starting this piece, Kelis' music video for "Bossy" is playing on the tube. Something that I've always liked about Kelis, as an artist, is she's gonna do whatever she wants to do. We don't have to get it, so long as she does. If we like it, that's merely a bonus. Yeah, Kelis would be the opposite of the kinds of folks we're gonna talk about today. She appears to be very anti-self-critical. And that's beautiful.

I recently read two articles about why so many of us are so critical of ourselves (if you want to check them out, gohere and then here). The therapists who were interviewed touched on things like us fearing complacency and also us choosing to engage in tons of negative self-talk. I think that another reason has to do with our childhood. Boy, if there's ever a time when my blood boils, it's when a parent is snatching up a young child and/or worse, cussing at them. Children's minds, hearts and souls are so fragile; they must be handled with extreme care. If that doesn't happen, if the very individuals who should be nurturing their spirits are constantly breaking them, a self-critical individual is exactly what they will turn out to be.

Some of us once were those children and, unfortunately, we are so used to treating ourselves with a lack of patience, forgiveness and self-compassion, that we don't even realize how self-critical we actually are. If you're wondering if this is something that you struggle with, perhaps more than you think, here are six blaring signs that should not be ignored.

You Find a Way to Tear Down Every Compliment

Giphy

There's someone I used to be close to who was pretty difficult to be around. A part of the reason was because I could never tell if her responses to compliments were a passive-aggressive way to get more or if she was a bona fide Olympian when it came to tearing affirmations down. I mean, no matter what I said to her, she found a way to knock it. For every time I said, "You look pretty today", she would respond with, "Maybe if I lost some weight." I'd give you some other examples, but I'm already worn out, just by reminiscing over all of that toxicity.

I get that sometimes it can be challenging to receive compliments or praise because you are so focused on improving the being that you already are. But if you don't know how to simply say "thank you" when someone commends you, or there is a part of you that doesn't believe them, something is very imbalanced when it comes to your self-esteem. Yes, there is something to be said for growth, but there is also something to be said for being proud of the person you are and appreciating when other people recognize the goodness that is already in/on you.

You Are Sorry for Things That You Shouldn’t Be

media.giphy.com

I've got a girlfriend who is mad humble. But, as a wise person once said, even the excess of a virtue can be a vice, at times. In her case, she has a tendency to apologize for things that she didn't do wrong or aren't her fault. If I call her, she's busy and has to call me back, she'll say, "I'm sorry. I was doing such-and-such." Is that something to be sorry for? Or when her husband completely shows his tail (if you've got a friend with a difficult spouse, I wrote about how I handle it here), she apologizes on his behalf (I get that married folks are "one" and all but he needs to take ownership for his own actions).

She apologizes so much that I finally brought it to her attention by saying, "Do you know that you say 'I'm sorry' for things that you don't even do wrong?" After responding with yep and, you guessed it, "I'm sorry" (LOL), she then said that she thinks it's because she struggles with people-pleasing a lot. Whenever someone is unhappy or even inconvenienced, she somehow believes that she has something to do with it. When I encouraged her to go deeper into where that stems from, she said that she had a babysitter from hell who used to berate and beat her and the other kids that she watched. My friend never told her parents; she just internalized it. She said "I'm sorry" a lot then to keep the peace and she does it a lot now for the same reason (self-awareness is a miracle cure, for real, for real!).

This example is a kinda cryptic form of being self-critical, but it is one nonetheless. It's also a reminder that we must handle all children with extreme care because they grow up to be adults; sometimes with the same wounds that they had from their childhood. Including being way too hard on themselves.

You Hold Yourself to Unrealistic Standards

media.giphy.com

Along the same lines of what we just discussed, another indication that you are too self-critical is the standards that you have for yourself are super unrealistic. You are a perfectionist. You don't forgive yourself when you make mistakes. You set way too many goals in a short frame of time. You see where I'm going with this, right? The problem with this is, because we all are flawed, we all sometimes make poor decisions and we all have moments of feeling totally overwhelmed, if you don't accept this fact about your own humanity, you're constantly going to feel like you are a disappointment, if not a flat-out failure.

Cut yourself some slack on the front end by aiming to do your best, but also predetermining that when you do mess up, you can let yourself off of the hook. Doing so is not letting yourself slide. It's actually an act of self-love.

You Don’t Ask for Help

media.giphy.com

Anyone who thinks that they don't need help is someone who not only has an ego problem (whether they realize it, like it or not), they also are setting themselves up for failure. If God wanted us to live without the assistance and support of others, we wouldn't have family members and friends. We wouldn't co-exist around other human beings on a daily basis either.

How does not asking for help equate to being too self-critical? Because a lot of people are this way because don't want to come off as appearing weak or needy. Or, they want to show others that they don't need anyone but themselves.

Being this type of person is typically a sign of also having some pretty serious trust issues. But here's the thing—if you constantly attempt things that would be easier for you to do if you had some back-up, then they may take a lot longer or not turn out as well as they could have. As a result, you become even more self-critical. Ugh. Doubly so.

You Are Never Ever Satisfied. Especially with Yourself.

media.giphy.com

Not too long ago, I was checking out the IG page for this site. Under a post that featured, well, go here and you can see it yourself, I appreciated what a male commenter said—"The Education us Men get following this page. I'm here for it." I took a sec to check out what the poster, @prewilliams has going on and he had a post that was so appropriate for this article—"You're over here doubting yourself while so many people are intimidated by your potential."

There's nothing wrong with being driven and ambitious. There's nothing wrong with wanting to become better on a daily basis. There's nothing wrong with going above and beyond what seems attainable. But a part of what comes with being a healthy and balanced individual is also being at peace with what you've already accomplished and just how far you've already come.

Stress, anxiety and frustration oftentimes arise out of not knowing how to be satisfied with oneself and/or how to stay in the moment. Life is too short to not know how to just be sometimes.

You’re Way Too Quiet

media.giphy.com

Some of y'all might remember the episode of A Different World when Tisha Campbell played a student who had HIV. Her professor was played by Whoopi Goldberg and the assignment that she gave the class to write their own obituary (a clip of the episode is right here). Something that Whoopi's character said, more than once, that has remained with me all this time is, "You are a voice in this world."

It's one thing to use timing and tact in delivering a message. It's another matter entirely when you have a desire to speak, but you don't, because you're worried about how people will react or respond. Your insight, your perspectives and your experiences are just as valid as anyone else's. Don't let your critical nature try and convince you otherwise.

A very wise person once said, "It's better to speak your mind and tell the truth, than to stay quiet and lie to yourself." If after reading this, you know that you are way too self-critical, start making some changes today by speaking up more, always remembering, that yes—YOU ARE A VOICE IN THIS WORLD. A voice that deserves to be heard, received and respected. With as little criticism from you as possible.

You know, after Multiverse of Madness, I never want to see Wanda again. And it's heartbreaking because she used to be my favorite character, but I just feel that she's irredeemable at this point. They did such a shit job explaining how the Darkhold works that it's hard to use that as a strong justification that she'll ever be able to be heroic again. The most they give us is vague "oh it corrupts people" and "it showed me what I want." So it's hard to see how it can be a strong defense for her actions, especially when Agatha had the book for centuries and didn't go nuts and kill everyone.

She's just so vile and monstrous and cruel throughout the whole movie. I can't see any of the heroic characters in the MCU wanting to be anywhere near her ever again; Strange clearly didn't think she was worth saving as he didn't even try to convince her not to drop the fucking mountain on herself.

And, considering how many fans have outright hated her and refused to give her the benefit of the doubt with Westview, I don't see how any of them will forgive her for killing multiple beloved fan favorites.

It makes me almost wonder if I was wrong in my love and defense of Wanda all these years. That maybe she really always was a monstrous villain and I was just too naïve to see it. That everyone who's hated on her and insisted that she's evil was right and I was wrong to ever love her as a character. I just don't know if my interpretation of the character for all these years was wrong, or if Marvel really has resorted to absolute insane levels of gaslighting to destroy a powerful female character.

Idk man, it just sucks to see how despite the constant touting of "look how progressive we are now!" Marvel is still openly using every sexist and ableist trope in the book to tear down characters that don't fit the white, straight, male generic action hero mold.

I feel like Wanda has always been a very divisive character since her introduction. I don’t think it was ever quite clear whether she knew Strucker was Hydra before she signed up? From memory, Strucker was operating as SHIELD in Sokovia, and was encouraging the local rebels (the twins being part of them) to destabilise the country. But I think a lot of fans remember her as choosing to join Hydra.

A lot of fans are also very coloured by their biases. Wanda has faced up against Tony multiple times, as you can imagine a lot of Tony fans dislike her. A lot of people also think she’s let off too easily? Which I tend to disagree with. There’s a saying — “you use a contribution to pay for a mistake”. That’s what Wanda was doing in CACW, she was using her powers to try and help people to make up for the mistakes she made in her youth. At the end of her series she apologised to the town, reversed her spell and put herself into exile. I still see people calling for her head though, so I think there’s no pleasing some people.

I feel like a lot of MCU stans also…refuse to look at the MCU as a story by itself but keep drawing the comics into it, with disregard to what that actually means to character consistency in the MCU. When I pointed out to my friend that it didn’t make sense for Wanda to go that way after her whole series of dealing with her grief, she just shrugged and said “yeah but Wanda is a villain in the comics and she had the House of M story” — I don’t know the accuracy of that but that’s certainly the sort of stuff that gets thrown about a lot on MCU hype sites like screenrant.

I think I’ve grown pretty good at ignoring MCU canon these days. And I think that’s what you have to do. I’ve seen a lot of support for Wanda though, even if it’s along the lines of “she’s hot while murdering people”. It’s sad because I think the series did an amazing job at fleshing out her character and lending credence to her vulnerability. She’s someone orphaned at a young age and grew up with a war, there is a lot of trauma and loss and misguided naïveté guiding her actions. I don’t think Wanda has ever been intentionally selfish or evil, which is why DSMoM is disappointing for her story.

Sannin headcanons and thoughts

The last thing I would like to post for the sannin week. It is still 24.04 here! :D @sannin-central

This is long. Spoiler alert. Mostly Orochimaru, some Tsunade, a little of Jiraiya (because his story is pretty clear and spoken and idk what I can add). Also I recommend to read this meta about Orochimaru, it has influenced me a lot and has some good points. Sorry for any posible grammar mistakes. Also I really should put here a lot of references to the manga or anime but it was something that was piling up for a year and I'm soooooooo lazy. After all, those are just headcanons. Also: Im not excusing Oro's bad stuff here, Im trying to understand the reasons.

Ive already posted some hcs, here, here and here.

1. First if all, the chronology pic of sannin lifetime based on the info i found on naruto wiki and also some statements about wars from this post. It was tough considering what a mess naruto’s chronology is.

2. Sannin story shows what it cost to be a legend. They're like Team 7 but more realistic. Tsunade literally carried the war but left with nothing and developed a ptsd and have problems to just live on. Also anger control issues. I think she can be pretty bossy and stubborn which is not always nice. Jiraiya is the hero of the day but also very idealistic and can ignore some important details in the real word whether its the fight (he always injured during flashbacks maybe because each time he took too much to handle and on the one hand it's heroistic but on the other is a mistake that can lead your team to situations like in that Iwa cave) or your friends issues (I bet he saw what's going on but thought it's fine until Oro actually got red handed and left). He lives in his world and may have problems to get out to see it through someone else's shoes. As for Orochimaru, it seems like he was a normal guy for 20+ years (I mean, he didn't do crazy criminal shit and had something good in him and it was stated somewhere that it was his teammates influence. It is obvious they considered him as a friend, I don't thinks it was for nothing) but we mostly know his darkest side. Despite being a moster he is a human that have empathy and some ordinary human traits (man just decorates every bit of an environment he is in lol).

3. Tsunade was the leader of team Hiruzen.

4. Tsunade sometimes hit Jiraiya for some stupid things he did or said but never touches Orochimaru even if he did something same. Jiraiya complained about it once and almost got another hit.

5. Jiraiya had problematic parents that didn't care about him much and a lot of time he was wandering in the streets.

6. Judging by the look of Oro bangs and hair, he sometimes cut it off. A stress relief huh? And the fact that he doesn't do it now in Boruto..

7. It was shown that Tsunade and Orochimaru was acknowledged before they become a team. Maybe they did just before, or maybe some longer time before. I prefer the second option and hc that they met because both had no real friends - Orochimaru seemed weird and scary for everyone and Tsunade was Senju so everyone wanted to hang out with her but didn't really care. They weren't seen as what they were - people put the labels on them. But they didn't care about each other's labels and actually saw each other in true lights.

8. Tsunade knew it was an accident and it's not right but still she blamed Orochimaru for Nawaki's death for some time. It was something that seriously damaged their friendship and the team. Orochimaru was mad but also guilty, after all, he was responsible at least as a shinobi since Nawaki was under his watch. So he started to act cold and emotionless and was trying to distance himself from his teammates.

9. Jiraiya was in Ame while Dan died.

10. The whole his orphans mission was a bit irresponsible tbh. They already fought Hanzo and as he stated the conflict between Konoha and Ame is going to an end with Konoha's win. It's weird to stay here for three years in the middle of the war while there were other lands to fight. He left his teammates for some idea. Maybe that caused another crack in their team friendship.

11. If Tsunade would have find a way to live on with her trauma and follow the will of fire and stuff it would affect Orochimaru as well just as her grief affected him. It's like he would get an example that you can live on with this pain. So death isn't above human capability and we are not just the slaves of mortality (sounds stupid but i dont know how else to describe sorry). But as we know what he actually saw is that it broke her crucially to the point she couldnt be herself again. And so the death is above everything.

12. Oro wasn’t just acting as a cold pragmatic bitch in that cave but also tried to save Tsunade. Jiraiya knew it and that’s why he showed this sign to him like "I see what youre doing here" and that stunned Oro because he would prefer to look rather like a cold pragmatic bitch hehe

13. Just a thought. People in the village probably treated Oro as a foreigner or just wouldnt accept him because he looked so differently and had a weird attitude. That's why he sometimes didn't feel that Konoha is his home. After the wars where people were treated as means and tools, even the children, he himself developed this view on people - he dehumanized them and used as the means to his goals, just as his village did. Funny thing some people were straightly dehumanizing him too like Ibiki thought that he was a demon (tho he was a child). And he probably weren't the only one. Anyways the point is that it's logical that Orochimaru don't care about anybody but some few people, he's the product of his era. He's like Naruto that would chose the hatred way. But naruto had some good and understanding people around him and.. Orochimaru had them too, but match how Iruka treated Naruto and this Hiruzen's "I sAw tHe mAliCe in This cHiLd fRoM tHe BegGinNinG". And oro didn't even have a big ass evil fox in him. sry i hate hiruzen

ANYWAYS the moral of the story is not "go criminal if they hurt you" but always treat people like people. Waving my hand to Kant.

14. The reason why Orochimaru didn't pick some good morals to stick with through the hard times no matter what (like, idk, Jiraiya or Naruto) is because 1) I think he is/was pretty depending on people around him 2) the war fucked him and his friends up too much (Nawaki incident + Tsunade) 3) twisted addictions (though I don't think he's that sadistic, we never saw him torturing randoms just for fun, it was always some science experimental shit. He tends to get fun out of cruelty only when it's personal) that maybe developed as a way to sublimate anger and sadness caused by his parents loss (that's what they share with sasuke - unlicke naruto, they knew their parents and it's other kind of pain. Sasuke developed a revenge issue and Orochimaru - cruelty pleasure which... is kinda the same but less epic and more occasional lol).

15. Speaking of that, Orochimaru cared for Sasuke because he saw himself in him.

16. Oro hold grudges against Hiruzen for not choosing him to be Hokage not only because he was ambitious and/or egoistic, but also because Hiruzen was some kind of a father figure for him and his approval was important tho i doubt he was aware of that. He also probably could tell that Hiruzen was suspicios about him when he was a child and that led to many conflicts and was hurting as well.

17. Tsunade knew things weren't pretty with Orochimaru after the wars but she never expected them to be this bad. During the week that she was given in her arc she thought not only about how much she wants to see Nawaki and Dan again despite how wrong would it be but also was trying to bury all the good memories she had left of Orochimaru so it would be easier to kill him.

18. She poisoned Jiraiya exactly because she knew he would not let her do it. Jiraiya was always hesitant to kill and inclined to forgiveness, while Tsunade, as mentioned by Orochimaru, could be merciless (so much so that he was not surprised when Kabuto suggested that she wanted to use Jira for Edo Tensei).

19. That was one of her traits that scared Jiraiya and fascinated Orochimaru.

20. Remember how Oro grabbed Jiraiya's neck when the latter was trying to cover with hair jutsu? On the snake, in Tsnade's arc. Orochimaru could have easily kill Jiraiya by pulling the sword out of the mouth (arteries are right there) but he didn't. As well as he could kill Tsunade when she was still shaking - just aim for the neck or the heart. Instead, he just injured her lung and kicked her which is not a big deal for the kind of shinoby like her at all.. Also he helped Anko not accidentally kill herself but it would be way much profitable to let her do it. "Orochimaru has no feelings".

21. The reason he suddenly wanted to kill Tsunade instead of forcing her to heal his arms as it was planned (which is weird since it will not going to get him heals and he kinda said that he wouldn't want to kill her just minutes ago) is that not only she refused to help him (he thought he could work it out) but she also prefered the village over him (from his point of view). Out if everyone she was the closest to being able to understand him since the village caused her painful losses too but nevertheless she agreed to be on it's side.

22. He wasn't fighting her back in the end partly because he thought he deserved that. Somewhere deep inside hahah.

23. Tsunade got a fear to develop deep bonds so they probably weren't very close with Shizune (also the way she knocked her down in this hotel.. oh).

24. Orochimaru will be here when she'll die.

25. Orochimaru's eng dub to Tsunade: "I often wondered what it would be like to ring that pretty neck yours". No comments.

26. Orochimaru is either bi/pan or ace. Anything or nothing lmao

27. Hiruzen knew about at least some of the Oro’s illegal experiments and was okay just as he was okay with the Foundation all the time. Because it’s useful. Then he has discovered he went too far OR he knew everything and oro just became too inconvenient because of his methods. The way Orochimaru tells Sasuke about reasons they are well treated as the criminals is based on in his experience with Hiruzen.

28. As you may know the lyrics in Orochimaru’s music theme goes “don’t talk with the silence of the heart”. It was taken from one Indian song that also had lines like “don’t question life too much”, ”pain arose somewhere in the chest”, “don’t speak to the wounds of the heart”. Though I’m not sure 100% because I was translating it with some hindi dictionary with like zero knowledge of hindi

29. I like to think that this “silence of the heart” theme and the fact that he called his village a hidden sound village are somehow connected. The hidden sound is the possible explanation of all things waiting to be listened to but the truth is silent and you know it deep in your heart and it bothers you. The world is silent just like the life is meaningless but people can only hear. *Sigh* anyways

30. Orochimaru’s journey is the one about accepting death. When he saw Karin released her chains while was trying to get to Sasuke he understood that the death is a part of human’s strength.

Can’t wait to feel that everything I wrote is wrong or not enough or stupid and obvious lol. Anyways, it’s something that I wanted to share until I move to some other fandom.

The Heiress, And The Twelve. Act I.

Episode VI: To Be Deceived, Or Protected.

Series: KPOP Girl Group: 이달의 소녀 (LOONA).

Pairing: OT12 & Mafia Heiress Female Reader.

Summary: While the members residing with The Heiress in Eden managed to resolve her internal conflict about who she was and who she had deemed herself should be—Haseul, along with Sooyoung and Jinsol, discovers a certain string of information that could potentially lead to a much more greater complication than they had ever encountered before. And as Jinsol finally reconciled with Sooyoung after the incident, Hyejoo and Heejin find themselves stunned as they come across your room—realizing that something had been missing in the vicinity, with that something being you.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with the members?"

Jinsol had just managed to set her foot on the top of the staircase when she met the sight of the distressed Ninth member who had lingered in the hall that led to the boss' office, pinching the bridge of her nose in clear disbelief with the disrupted idea that only she was called by Haseul for the meeting. It's been days since the Leader had regarded her request to be removed in any missions with the Seventh member, being that she was still sensitive over what had just happened with the incident—Jinsol had already been walking through thin ice with her miscalculation, but Sooyoung's projected anger towards the woman intensified when Jungeun had informed them of your order to be left alone. And as much as she was relieved that both her member, and her adoptive sister were safe—Sooyoung couldn't shake off her impression that you had not been unscathed, because physically, you and Hyejoo were well, but your order was the effect of the event which she had deemed also as her own error with being one of the Twelve.

The Seventh member, however, no matter how many times she had blamed herself for it, she had understood Sooyoung's hostility towards her and knew that it was absolutely justified—from all those years that the members had grown together, she knew well enough that the woman was as emotional as she could get, more so for the people she cared for the most. But the Seventh could only take so much, she had somewhat prepared herself for the the member's response—yet she still couldn't avoid condemning herself over it, for the most part being Sooyoung not wanting anything to do with her.

And as Sooyoung stood there, leaned back against the hall's wall with her arms crossed and her brows knitted in apparent frustration while looking the other way—Jinsol could only manage a hesitant smile as she tried her best to swallow down the bitter aura between the two of them, before directing her weary gaze towards the tall double doors at the end of the hall. Slightly taken aback by how isolated the scene had looked from their position, which meant that the Leader had not yet arrived—making Sooyoung the first person to have been called by Haseul, and Jinsol quickly becoming the second.

"Is it.. Just the two of us..?"

"She just told me to meet her here, and that she'll be arriving shortly from her visit with our guests," Sooyoung muttered, practically scoffing at the mention of the Lee Family that had been staying in the Mansion as they awaited for their Boss' recovery. The younger of the two winced at the recollection of when they'd first arrived at the infirmary with the Lee Family's Boss, and how Sooyoung raised her tone at Haseul for the first time since she'd been appointed as Acting Boss after declining Sooyoung's plea to head straight to Eden—which led to the Ninth member into defying the Leader's instruction and driving all the way to the castle, just to be pulled aside by a stone-faced Jungeun, "but you still haven't answered my question—why are you here?"

"I don't see why I shouldn't be..? Haseul did ask for me—"

"I specifically told her that I don't want to be in any operation with you right now—and for what? Suddenly she doesn't listen anymore?" Jinsol would be lying if she said that hearing those words come right out of Sooyoung's mouth didn't hurt her, she swore that when this member of theirs was mad she knew exactly how to do so—but to be on the opposite end of the woman's livid state, Jinsol had never experienced to be this ridiculed by her. The silence that had come after Sooyoung's sharp words even made the member glance at Jinsol from the corner of her eye, finding her head hanging low as she picked on her blue pin on her tie in deep contemplation—slightly irritating Sooyoung even further because the Ninth had known that the habit was common with the members since they'd acquired their pins, holding onto the object when they couldn't seem to find it in themselves to assess a situation in their own way.

"Maybe we're not on a mission as a pair, probably.. A reschedule? Change of posts? Haseul assigning you to my spot—and me with yours?" Sooyoung gripped onto the fabric of her sleeve as Jinsol began to straighten her tie, which she had done several times before looking behind her to the staircase below—as if Haseul would just magically appear out of thin air and cut through the tension between the two of them, saving them from possibly making it worse than it already was.

"That's great, maybe then Y/N wouldn't be in as much trouble as she'd be if she was under my range of security." Jinsol frowned at the malicious tone that the Ninth had suddenly switched into, making her turn to eye the member who still refused to meet the clear regret plastered all over her features—while Sooyoung continued to glare at the nothingness that had seemed to have kept her attention more than the member currently standing right in front of her.

"Sooyoung.."

"Just admit it, Jinsol—you despise her. You don't want her to be our Boss because she's nothing of what you expect her to be—it's a full circle to what happened the day we told her everything, you want her gone." Sooyoung spat as her member flinched, making Jinsol shaking her head in attempt to relay the message to Sooyoung that it was nothing of that sort.

"That's not true—I care about her just as much as you do!" the Seventh stammered, completely taken aback by how she had been suddenly accused for having felt something that she had not.

"She was in the lot! You could've prevented it even before he approached her—"

"And you think I don't go every single day thinking about that!?" Sooyoung's furious eyes snapped to connect with Jinsol's exasperated ones, the Seventh's demeanor looking as frustrated as she could get with her hands balled up into fists hanging by her sides while her eyes stayed connected with her member's, "We've never had any complications with our group since the beginning, and ever since Y/N came in the picture—it's as if the least we can do is not turn against each other."

"Oh, and that makes it her fault? Is that what you're trying to say?

"I'm trying my best to understand—alright!? I thought we can continue this Family without having her in the picture, but.." Jinsol tore her eyes away from Sooyoung's to think carefully about her next words, having an inkling that whatever she may say next would be enough to tip Sooyoung off the edge and tarnish her reputation completely—or in some sort of miracle, she'd be able to properly express what she had wanted to say, "I didn't want any of that to happen—I swear that if I could have stopped it in all the ways I've calculated it after, I would've. But it's already done, I messed up and the only thing I can do is try to make up for it with Y/N—for as long as she'll have me, and if she can't forgive me for what I've done then.."

Sooyoung lowered her eyes at Jinsol who shrugged her shoulders in defeat, sighing when she thought that the apology didn't go exactly as she'd expect it to be. She'd thought that once she laid her heart out, it'd go as smoothly and sincerely as she'd thought—but instead, she felt that the reason for Sooyoung's silence was that she had taken her words in the complete opposite. Her words being taken under the impression that she was over it, that she didn't care as much as she said she did—causing the gap between her and the members that had your well-being as the priority to broaden, when she had just warmed up to the idea that she had wanted the same thing as well.

The Ninth member eyed the struggling woman in front of her, it was clear that Jinsol was incessantly thinking through what she had just told her and continuously trying to criticize her choices of wording—but as much as Sooyoung hated the thought that had led her into blaming Jinsol for what had happened, the greater part of her that believes that the members would never do each other wrong was pushing past her projected anger. This wasn't them against a common enemy anymore, this was Sooyoung's protectiveness over you—against her protectiveness over her members, but instead of it mostly being directed towards the Lee Family's Boss, she had Jinsol to blame. And that was what caused her inner turmoil, Jinsol is her member and a member that had been one of the reasons that put you and Hyejoo in danger—but Jinsol was just as much as a member as the others, yet there Sooyoung stood, continuously reminding her that she had messed up and she needs to feel the consequences of her ignorance.

Sooyoung then realized that Jinsol had already been going through the motions just as she'd been, and it was unfair of how she was quick to blame her for it—when Sooyoung had no idea about what was about to come until Hyunjin had some sort of vision.

"Well—apologize to her, not me," Jinsol practically choked at Sooyoung's mumbled response, feeling the weight of her worries fall off her shoulders as she watched Sooyoung shake her head at her and detach herself from the wall—slipping a hand into the pocket of her dress pants as she placed the other to her neck, craning it as if to stretch in exhaustion. The member still had a pout set on her lips but her brows were anything but furrowed, just looking drained from the encounter—while Jinsol slowly started to fall apart in her position, "you can start by how you acted in our living room, then with whatever happened with the Lee Boss. She's not the type to hold a grudge, you know—yah! Jung Jinsol, get off me—"

"I thought you'd never forgive me! I apologized so many times and you were never this mad—"

"Let go!" Jinsol continued to wail as Sooyoung's pout threatened to stretch into a grin while she tried to pry the member's arms off her, opening her mouth to start threatening the Seventh. But just as she was about to, light footsteps started echoing from the steps behind Jinsol and soon after revealed an absorbed looking Haseul—which had seemed to be caught off guard at the sight as she blinked at the two who just froze in their spot and stared right back at her, Haseul's eyes softened only for a moment before they dimmed yet again.

Looking away from the two, Haseul motioned over to the end of the hall before starting to make her way past them.

"You've made up, good. Follow me." the youngest of the three started to walk down the halls, which made Jinsol release Sooyoung from her hold before they both hurried to trail behind the Leader—eyeing each other in question about what had the member in such state, Sooyoung could only hope that it was just something connected to the Lee Boss and nothing more.

As Haseul pulled the key out of her pocket, Sooyoung had remembered that the last time all twelve of them were inside the office was when Haseul had first sat herself into the Boss' chair—how she carefully laid out what specific orders the previous Boss stated before he had passed, and how they would slowly but surely make sure you were well acquainted with a few members. Haseul also swore that it would also be the last time that she were to set foot inside of the office, not finding it comfortable how she would occupy the room as if it were her own when her purpose was to have you settled into your rightful place.

And as if Jinsol could hear Sooyoung's thoughts coursing through her, they could only wonder how much trouble the Family had caught themselves into for Haseul to break her own word.

"Shut the doors behind you, I've asked to keep this floor vacated until one of us leaves the room." Jinsol quickly turned to shut the doors behind them as Sooyoung followed behind the Leader to stand in the middle of the room while Haseul circled behind the desk to open one of it's emptied drawers, reaching far into the compartment as if rummaging to find anything that had not been in there in the first place.

"Are you looking for something?" Jinsol question as she stood beside Sooyoung who eyed the Leader suspiciously, the two watching Haseul shut the drawer to then move to another.

"What are you even doing, Haseul?" the light sound of a click echoed through the spacious, and moonlit office that had Haseul tensing up on her spot. Jinsol made a move to approach to the woman and lend her a hand but Sooyoung grabbed ahold of her arm before she could even do anything, the two members carefully watching as Haseul pulled out what seemed to be a thick stack of papers—jaw clenched while she placed them on the desk before looking up the puzzled expression on her members' features.

"Lee Seokmin has returned to his conscious state today, he refused to speak with the doctors and requested to speak with the one he perceived as the Family's Boss. And so I paid him a visit," Haseul shut the drawer to fully grab the stack from the desk, eyeing the papers before walking over to the two and meeting them in the middle of the room, "he was convinced that I was Y/N, stating that he couldn't believe that the previous Boss' plan worked—how he kept the Heiress safe by letting her live a normal life outside of the Family, all while being protected from the other Families."

Jinsol paled as Sooyoung let go of her arm, eyes widening in alarm while Haseul stood in front of them with a vacant expression on her face.

"He asked me if I knew about it, when I found out about it—confessing that he knew about the documentation because he had overheard it once from the Jeon Family that the Heiress was being watched."

"We were watching over her, but I thought the documents were supposed to be discarded after the Boss' passing?" Jinsol barely questioned as her voice failed her, switching her eyes from Haseul to Sooyoung who could only look at Jinsol with wide eyes as well.

"It was, I saw through with it. Haseul, Vivi-unnie and I were the ones present when it was erased."

"He wasn't talking about our documents, he was talking about this." Haseul motioned to the papers in her hand, it didn't take too long of the three to stare at each other before Sooyoung reached over to grab the papers and start inspecting each and every page—feeling lightheaded at the information that she had read from it, how as if every page she had skimmed through just continued to reveal a deeper story behind the minimal observation reports that they had set for you.

The papers dated back up to four years prior to the previous Boss' passing, several pictures of you, Jungeun, and Jiwoo were practically on each page of the stack—the lightest conversations, passed homework, your every move was typed down as if they were studying not a living human being but a test subject. Through the documentation, it seemed as if you weren't the Y/L/N Y/N that the members had made a point on learning to care for and to believe that you'd lead them into a better future—but rather a statistic in which would demonstrate if you were fit in becoming a Boss for the highest ranking Family there ever was, and ever will be if you had truly had what it takes.

Whoever had created this document, only had that particular version of the Heiress in mind—and it made Sooyoung feel sick to her stomach.

"Who.. did this? How did you even know this exists!?" Sooyoung's voice started to raise as she looked up at the torn expression on Haseul's face, making Jinsol take a step in between the two to try and calm the Ninth member down while also turning to glance at the Leader behind her—but as Sooyoung started to prod Haseul with questions while waving the papers in her hand, Haseul swallowed sharply before looking up to meet the the concerned look on Jinsol's face.

"I didn't."

Haseul's words echoed in Sooyoung's head, and before she knew it—she had let the papers fall onto the ground, pushed past Jinsol to reach for Haseul's collar to aggressively grab ahold of her. However, Jinsol was quick to recover after staggering back—attempting to pry Sooyoung off of the Third member by wrapping an arm around the Ninth's waist and tugging her off the Leader.

"You—you're our Leader! You can't just tell us you have no clue! our lives are dependent on your choices—and you have the audacity to tell us you don't know!?"

"I thought I had properly vacated this room after we all left—that was the last time I've been here, it was all the previous Boss had instructed me.." Haseul barely whispered, crumbling under Sooyoung's hold to the point that it was the member that had been keeping her up on her feet—making Sooyoung snap out of her fuming state to watch the dread sink into her member's features, "he told me where everything was, the archives we needed—I thought he told me everything I needed to know, I was appointed Leader for this."

"Sooyoung, she doesn't know." Jinsol dragged out slowly as she loosened her grip over her member, walking towards Haseul and prying the Ninth's hands off completely from the Leader—all while keeping Haseul up on her feet by wrapping an arm around her shoulder, leading her to the desk so she had a place to lean on.

"The Twelve, Y/L/N Y/N—that's all I know, you have to believe me."

"We do, Haseul—Sooyoung's just in shock, we'll figure this whole thing out. Right, Ha Sooyoung?" the Ninth continued to stare at the two, absolutely mortified that they were currently easing themselves into uncharted waters—completely unknowing of what would come, but only to prepare themselves for whatever it may be. Sooyoung caught Jinsol switching her gaze from Haseul to the papers on the ground, the Seventh seemingly the more composed member out of the two—and as if moving completely out of practice, Sooyoung bended over to grab the papers and walk over to Jinsol to hand it to her.

"What do you suggest we do?" Jinsol's eyes widened at the blank, yet expectant look that Sooyoung held as she offered her the papers—glancing at Haseul who had now held onto the desk as if her life had depended on it, before she caught onto what exactly it was that Sooyoung was trying convey. With Haseul's Leadership position becoming nothing of aid to the members as of her current state, Sooyoung wanted them to work it out as a group instead of letting the woman carry all of this on her own. So Jinsol grabbed the papers from her hand, eyeing the front page and skipping to the last as she followed her gut—having a relieved sigh escaped her lips as she pointed a finger at the signed letter 'R' initial at the end of the page, it's ink shining under the moonlight while she directed it to Sooyoung's view.

"We can start by tracking whoever this is?"

"Alright." Jinsol gave Sooyoung a small, yet grateful smile before looking back down to scan the papers while Sooyoung turned to Haseul who sat still on the desk—completely frozen as she tried to recall every bit of information that the previous Boss had passed onto her, fingers gripping tightly onto the pin on her tie. The Ninth member reached over to place an consoling hand on the Leader's shoulder, halting mid-way but somehow going through with it—which made Haseul visibly tense but when she had found that it was Sooyoung from her peripheral vision, she just looked back down to return into her state of recollection.

"I shouldn't have lashed out, Haseul. I'm sorry."

"You have every right to be mad, I'm the appointed Leader and I can't even uphold a simple task. Even I'd be mad at myself." Jinsol snorted from behind her which made Sooyoung glance at the member, finding Jinsol eyeing Haseul from the side before flipping another page from the stack.

"You mean tracking down this profiler from just one initial? Haseul—you can't even find the right curtains to hang inside your room without Yerim." Sooyoung's lips broke into a grin which made Jinsol release a laugh, making the Leader turn to look at her members who were now laughing amongst themselves as they eyed the paper in Jinsol's hands. Haseul then looked up to find Sooyoung's careful eyes directed on her, the member giving Haseul a determined look in contrast to the Leader's downcast expression.

"You might be the Leader, but we are a team, Haseul. We'll get through this mess, with or without the previous Boss' help." Haseul tore her eyes away from Sooyoung to look back at Jinsol's thoughtful expression as the member continued to inspect the page—until she found Haseul watching her, so she gave her an encouraging look before raising a fist in the air.

"Damn right we are! Fighting!"

"If you use that language in front of Y/N—I swear, Jung Jinsol—"

"Your sister is a year away from graduating High School—she's old enough to know if cussing is bad or not."

"You don't tell me how to raise my sister!"

"She's our future Boss! She can decide that for herself!" Sooyoung placed her hands on her hips as she continued to banter with Jinsol as the member continued with her task, the two completely back to the way before their feud—while Haseul watched them silently, feeling the anguish of her assumed failure as a Leader slowly dissipate as Jinsol and Sooyoung continued on. The interaction had somehow eased the Third member's worries, the sight reminding her that no matter what happened—they were still the Twelve, and with that, the world would still be turning for as long as they'd stay like this after whatever may cross their path.

"Until we've figured out who this person is, be that they're in this Family preparing for another coup—or from outside, this stays between the three of us," Haseul stated, making Jinsol's look up to clearly try and object but one pleading look from Haseul—she had known that her intentions were nothing but for their safety, "please, the more people that know about this—the harder it will be to find them. One word about this from anyone but us.."

"They'll know we're onto them—got it."

"But what do we do about Lee Seokmin and his members?" Sooyoung crossed her arms on her chest as Haseul turned to look at her, more composed than a few moments ago.

"They'll be returning to the village that Jeon passed onto them in a few days, I made sure that he didn't recognize that I wasn't the Heiress he was talking about. All he can pass to whoever he pleases is that the Y/L/N Family's Heiress is back in her rightful place." Haseul concluded as Sooyoung released a heavy sigh, looking at Jinsol yet again but this time—Jinsol had lingered over one specific page.

"What is it?" Sooyoung leaned over to check at what the member was staring at, which made Haseul completely turn to peek as well when Jinsol practically gripped onto the stack in worry.

"From the beginning of the document, they never mentioned any names—they even labelled Jiwoo and Jungeun as Upperclassmen A, and Upperclassmen B," Jinsol placed a finger on a specific sentence on the paper before looking up at Haseul and Sooyoung, "'4:35PM: The Heiress returns home. Property under the name of 'Ha', a civilian household consisting of two adults and three daughters.'"

"Don't tell me—"

"Who ever this 'R' person is—they know exactly which one of us is the Heiress."

Hyejoo had just shut the door to Jungeun's empty room, signalling the end of her morning rounds which consisted of surveying the vacated rooms of the members that typically headed to school approximately two hours before her—when she had realized that today marked the fifth day since the incident, which made it Wednesday. And Wednesdays were different, because in that specific day Yeojin and Yerim would accompany Jungeun and Jiwoo for early morning Student Council. With Yerim being the President of her class, and Yeojin being her own—Jungeun had briefly talked the two into either occupying their roles once they've graduated, or at least being part of it.

The two Maknaes were quick to take her up for it, being that they had fit the credentials well—they'd agree without a doubt, but that had meant that every Wednesday, Hyejoo would only have to drive her and Chaewon to class. And it wasn't that she wasn't on good terms with her Gowon-unnie, it was quite the opposite—because every Wednesday morning would be Chaewon asking Hyejoo about how she's been, and how she had felt about whatever had happened the days before. Somehow, it had slightly bothered Hyejoo that she had always started off their conversation in that manner since Yeojin and Yerim rode with the two Unnies—but the ride had seemed to grow on her once she realized that the Eleventh member wasn't shooting up a conversation to fill the silence, but to genuinely ask Hyejoo how she's been.

Park Chaewon had surprisingly seemed to have understood her even in that alley, which was something that goes over Hyejoo's head sometimes.

The Twelfth's eyes seamlessly connected with your door in the middle of the hall as the recollection of the alley felt similar to what happened that day, and being that only room in that specific hall was only occupied by you—with Haseul, Sooyoung, Jinsol, and Kahei being everywhere at once, the closest member that could reach you incase of an emergency was Jungeun, because her room was the closest to yours. Hyejoo started to make her way to your room almost subconciously to check up on you when she was met by the unusual sight of Jeon Heejin who was never usually awake this early in the morning, already dressed in her uniform—glowing as if she'd just awakened to the greatest sleep she's ever had, her eyes even widening in surprise as she found Hyejoo coming from the other end of the hall.

"Son Hyejoo! Good morning!" Heejin waved enthusiastically with both hands outstretched, making the Maknae scrunch her nose up in distaste as Heejin grinned adoringly—eyes turning into crescents while she continued to her venture into your room, the sound of her footsteps lightly decreasing as she neared. The First member carefully twisted the handle to peek into your room, her smile impossibly widening as she expected to be greeted by the sight of you laying on your side with Jeon Stitchie and Hyunjin's Shiba Inu—only for her to squint her eyes through the darkness to find the two stuffed toys but not even the top of your head revealing from the covers in sight.

"Y/N-ah~?" Hyejoo heard Heejin call from her position, slightly peeking through the door frame, making the Twelfth member furrow her brows and stand behind the member just as she had flipped the light switch on—illuminating the empty room before walking inside and making her way over to the door that lead to your bathroom, pushing it open to find it unoccupied as well. Heejin continued to scan the room, even getting down on her knees by your bed to check if you were under it as Hyejoo stayed put by your door—watching her Unnie's puzzled features slowly turn into concern just as she saw someone approaching by her peripheral vision, she turned to find an equally confused Chaewon standing next to her before the Eleventh turned to her.

"Have you seen Vivi-unnie?"

"Did you just come from the Surveillance room?" Hyejoo questioned in reply, but before Chaewon could even get a word out—Kahei appeared from the end of the hall, seemingly reading a book while doing her rounds as she donned her reading glasses. Heejin had managed to slide past the two members just as Kahei was about to walk past them, making the woman look up from her book to eye the startled trio in wonder.

"What's with all the worried looks? Did something happen?" Kahei asked softly, making Hyejoo and Chaewon exchange glances while Heejin looked at your empty room before looking back at Kahei.

"Unnie, Y/N's not in her room." Heejin stated in a tone that had slowly started to reflect her dismay, but as Kahei tilted her head at the three something flashed in her eyes before she stared directly at Heejin—as if she should've known.

"Of course she isn't, she already left with Jungeun and Jiwoo. Why? Is there something I should be worried about?" Hyejoo's eyes widened in surprise as Heejin mouth popped open at Kahei's nonchalant reply, Chaewon was the only one of the three who had managed to not be surprised—considering that she had been looking for the Fifth member to ask why she had been the one to send you and the other members off as she watched a replay of the cameras just as she had woke up.

"You let her go, just like that?"

"I didn't see a problem with it—she had me convinced, afterall," Chaewon raised a brow at Kahei, to which the member only smiled at before walking past the bewildered Heejin and Hyejoo and return to reading her book as she walked down the hall, "Heejin, it must be some miracle that you woke up before Hyunjin—but if you don't wake her up you'll both be late to class. You two should start getting ready as well, Hyejoo, Chaewon."

The three members watched as Kahei disappeared from the hallway, turning to face each other briefly before hastily doing as the member had told. Heejin switched the lights off and shut the door before speed-walking down the hall to Hyunjin's room—pounding her fist against the door the second she reached it and tugging on the handle as she followed by calling her member's name. On the other side of the door, Hyunjin had already been awake, she was just about ready to leave—all she needed was to attach her pin onto her tie which she had quickly finished, so she grabbed her bag from her desk to pull the door open and roll her eyes at the sight of her aggrievated best friend.

"I get it—you woke up before me for the first time in years, you don't have to shove it to my face." Hyunjin pushed past Heejin who was trying to catch her breath, breathing in deeply before stopping Hyunjin dead on her tracks with what she was just about to say.

"Y/N isn't in her room—she left with Jungeun-unnie and Jiwoo-unnie to school!"

"..She what?"

Greetings,

I hope this message finds you well—sike with the formalities, it's a tumblr post, there's no need for that. But what this Author's Note actually needs is.. An apology (even though I came clear with you all if you've read through the first chapter to not be too attached with this story) because it's been over two months since my last story update!

But in all honesty, I'm not even sure if it had actually been two months or.. A month and a few days—but still! Am I back? Maybe~ What could JJ have been possibly doing to go MIA for this long? Real life stuff, but mostly the overwhelming feeling of Orbit twitter that's.. Something, a true bit of love and hate between that.

It's actually funny how many Episode VI's I've wrote before properly settling with this one, the first draft had too many new characters involved (spoilers for who they are? I'm sure if you've read a few LOONA fics—it's just in between those lines), the second and nth were all too messy—and so there's this one! I think it's a nice turn, considering that this is the half of Act I. and I literally just wrote this in one go again, I really can't believe myself at this point.

Though I think most of our new readers that are following this blog is more into the OS spectrum—so I should maybe start leaving posts? Like.. Talk? But it's not really my thing, having posts up but it's just me talking about God knows what—I don't really know how to feel about it.

I'm getting way over ahead of myself again, so yeah. I truly hope you guys are doing well out there, what's happening outside of these social media platforms is absolutely petrifying—I made this blog as an outlet to express how much I love the girls but you can't escape the crippling truth that is reality itself. This world is unforgiving even to those who had never done anything drastically wrong, and for a writer to not have the proper words to express how they truly feel about what's happening around them.. Please take care of yourselves, and I'm sorry for not being able to find the right words for this.

Laters,

JJ.

Greek Mythology!Duwang Gang AU: Headcanons

TW // sliiight nsfw-ish or non-con hints in dionysus' part. come on it's dionysus.

Today I offer you these babies. Tomorrow who knows. Hope you enjoy, I had fun with writing these.♡

Greek Mythology AU: Duwang Gang Headcanons. [includes: Higashikata Josuke, Nijimura Okuyasu, Kujo Jotaro, Hirose Koichi, Yamagishi Yukako, Kishibe Rohan]

WORD COUNT: 2k

HIGASHIKATA JOSUKE as APOLLO

Seen as the most beautiful god, Apollo has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. One of the most important and complex of the Greek gods, he is the son of Zeus (Joseph) and brother of Artemis (Holly). As the protector of young, Apollo is concerned with the health and education of children.

He's seen every early morning, on his chariot, to bring the sunlight up in the sky, all over the Olympus. Josuke's the dream of many nymphs, who look at him from afar, singing songs for the god with their sweet voices, a sound so sweet, a sound so celestial... which is covered up by Apollo's voice fucking around the Olympus with young Dionysus (Okuyasu), pulling pranks on Poseidon (Jotaro) or getting drunk.

You're the most envied creature out of everyone in the Olympus, because Josuke only has eyes for you. Envious nymphs stare at you, and comment on you, trying to convince themselves that they're way better than you are.

"Don't listen to their envy and their insults, they don't know how to cope with the fact that I have clear preferences..." he'd say, caressing your cheek and neck. "This is what poisons relationships and romances... envy... jealousy... but we don't have these useless problems, do we, love...?"

His relationship with other gods on the Olympus is usually fine, but it's not like he cares about hiding his feelings. Almost everyone who knows Josuke, will get to know after not even a week that the god is crushing on you, and that he wants to marry you. You sure hope he's not gonna behave the same way he did to Daphne...

It seems that he has healing powers, and if you happen to not to be a deity, he'll gladly use them on you, Josuke wouldn't forgive himself if anything happened to you.

NIJIMURA OKUYASU as DIONYSUS

Surely not known for his capability to reasonate, Dionysus was the ancient god of wine, fertility, ritual madness, theater, and ecstasy. The god is shown to be a beardless, sensuous, naked or semi-naked youth. Though Dionysus was mostly a kind and generous deity, he could be cruel when he needed it. For some reason, Aphrodite (Yukako) doesn't want to get close to him. She looks scared.

He doesn't do much, during the day. Let's say his favourite thing are feasts. Not really chaste ones, to be completely true. Okuyasu's mind is almost totally hedonistic, and won't feel guilty just because he spent a day watching dancing maenads and had fun teasing them with his Thyrsus instead of caring about whatever mortal dude needed him on Earth. Most of the time he's drunk, but Josuke has his back for some reason.

Many say they don't envy you for being the god's favourite creature, but you don't really care. You enjoy lying down with Okuyasu, caught in a ecstatic feeling as he turns you on with his touch and teaseful words whispered at you.

"Tell me, is it embarrassing for you to be the only one to lie beside me during feasts?" He'd run his lustful gaze and hand all over your body as he asks so, and smirk a little. "No? It isn't...? Sounds like you really like it instead, to be completely honest. Good... really good, in fact. Kiss me now."

He doesn't really have a brilliant relationship with other deities, apart from Apollo. He sometimes sees Echo (Koichi), but not much more. Still, everyone knows it when he has someone he's interested in. The man becomes possessive, Okuyasu will make sure everyone knows you're his. He might give a demonstration during feasts.

He likes to feed you grapes, and in case you liked wine, Okuyasu would want to hold the glass for you as you drink. He likes to do this for you, and you don't mind letting him.

KUJO JOTARO as POSEIDON

Poseidon is the violent and ill-tempered god of the sea. He is nowadays known exclusively as a sea god, but in ancient times, he may have been the god of the earth and fertility or even the supreme god of the sky. His huge height and strength come from his Titan parents, Cronus and Rhea. What he can't acquire with romance and gentleness, he does with violence and craftiness.

He sometimes uses the sea as a coping mechanism for his tiring life. Jotaro doesn't find his ocean so bad to be in, he concentrates and spends his time doing stuff gods... do? What does he really do, is not clear? Apollo and Dionysus tried to stick their heads into the water to spy on him several times, without any result. It's not like he's so happy when mortals need his help, but he can't pull back from his duty.

Poseidon probably noticed you because you weren't bugging him for pointless stuff. He likes pleasures too, like most of the deities do really, he just needs to find the right creature for him. Jotaro doesn't enjoy partners who talk too much.

"Don't worry about being a bother for me. You're the first one who isn't truly bothering me, I take it as a goal by now." he'd say, after he closed you in a bubble in order to bring you under the sea with him. "I never dare to show my realm to people who I judge as annoying, remember that."

It's not like he doesn't have a good relationship with other deities, he basically doesn't really care. He'll just be happy with being under the ocean whenever he feels Josuke and Okuyasu approaching, or not to be there during Apollo and Calliope (Rohan) debates. Give him some deserved peace and an ocean and he'll be grateful forever.

If Jotaro lets you in his private place which is the ocean, consider yourself special for him, for he hates having people there, above all people who are there for him purposely.

HIROSE KOICHI as ECHO

Echo is a mountain nymph, or oread. The myth says that Echo offended the goddess Hera by keeping her in conversation, in order to prevent her from spying on one of Zeus' lovers. To punish him, Hera deprived him of speech, except for the ability to repeat the last words of another. Because of this, his good heart is often misunderstood, but he managed to be appreciated nonetheless.

Koichi would rather have no conversations, for he's not able to say nothing more than the last words his interlocutor said. But he's down to make people understand what he wants to say, by writing it down or through gestures. Apollo approached him once, and brought Dionysus along. He doesn't know how to feel about hanging with gods, but since his issue isn't a problem to them, he'll keep them around. Until they misbehave...

When he gets to know you and notices you aren't willing to exclude him for he doesn't talk properly, his heart melts. Echo wants to spend most of his time with you now, since you make him feel comfortable about the problem Hera caused him.

"I love you, I love you, love you, love you, you, you..." he'd repeat, after you told him that. When he wants to say something like this, you say it for him, so that he can repeat it and say it as well. "You're important to me... important to me... important to me... to me... to me... me..."

Look, he's trying his best, really. Deities aren't known for their inclusive ways, and when he asked you if it was because of his past, you quickly said it wasn't. Nobody cared about it there. Deities were like that with every nymph. Echo had a chance to build up a good relationship with Calliope (Rohan). The muse taught him a lot.

He has fun bringing you to places where your voice echoes, to make you judge who does it better between him and the nature. Needless to say, Koichi always wins.

YAMAGISHI YUKAKO as APHRODITE

Aphrodite was known primarily as a goddess of sexual love, beauty, fertility and even occasionally presided over marriage. Even prostitutes considered Aphrodite their patron. She's had many mortal lovers, and none of them should have ever dared to make her upset. She won't be down for forgiveness, she's really never been. Still, Aphrodite found herself often in trouble due to her personality.

Differently from many other deities, Yukako's real fun consisted in watching humans' love stories bloom and wither. Sometimes she was the reason, sometimes she wasn't. Mortals were so easy to play with. It was when she thought that playing gods was just as simple, that she got caught into a trap. Since that mistake, she decided she would have been amused enough to be happy by mortals' love stories.

Oh, Aphrodite's so used to creatures - above all gods - who tried to stick around her for her body only, so that when you give an appreciation for her intelligence, she'll remember it and love you forever. It's like you signed up a free trial to be loved.

"You know, it's difficult to make me feel love so strong I don't even think about the lustful part... but apparently you managed to do so..." she'd say, sitting in the calm forest as she hands you a flower. "It's good to know someone doesn't love you for your body only but for yourself as well."

Yukako's relationship with other deities and creatures is just... ambiguous? She may never judge what's behind everyone's gaze. Hatred? Love? Lust? Who knows. All she knows, is that the only sight of Dionysus makes the ground under her feet disappear in fear. Compared to him, she'll just be fine in everyone else's company.

Everything she does, it's for the good. If it happens to harm you, Yukako definitely didn't mean it. It'll be enough to tell her, and believe me, it won't happen again.

KISHIBE ROHAN as CALLIOPE

In Greek mythology Calliope is the muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry. He's called the "Chief of all Muses". He's down to help every literate artist who needs him, gives inspiration and guides the mortals' talented hands, as far as they deserve his power. Calliope's used to be mentioned, and might happen to get upset if not. Even if he's only halfway a deity, he's known for his confidence.

The most famous out of the Muses, Rohan won't forgive anyone who's never heard about him before. He can be seen around Echo a lot lately, since he found the nymph's story interesting and won't hold back from inspiring a mortal with writing about what happened to Koichi. He's used to collect creatures' stories, in order to be written by someone who's talented enough to talk about them properly.

He probably got interested in your story first. Then, for some reason he grew possessive of it. Calliope won't let a mortal put their filthy hands on a story so pure. Let the Muse be the only one who can properly love you.

"This story of yours is so beautiful, I can never have enough... and it's mine only, is it, y/n? Is it?" he'd ask him forever until you answer yes, he'll find no peace at all. "Let me get inspiration from you. Let me be the only one who can properly appreciate your life... just like you deserve."

His relationship with other creatures and deities is... rather good? Rohan's used to have debates and discussions with Josuke, and most of the time they just disagree. Though, many envy his capability of being so creative and smart, mortal writers ask for his help several times. Aphrodite and him sometimes fight over Echo.

He'd write lots of poetries in order to edulcorate your feelings towards him and make you forgive him for his excessive possessiveness. Rohan often succeeds.

Bloom's Chat, April 7, 2005. (4Kidz).

Host says: Bloom is just taking off her coat and getting settled in.

Host says: She'll be ready to answer questions in just a few mins.

Host says: Hey Bloom. Welcome to our first celeb Winx chat. We're so happy to have you here.

Bloom says: *Bloom* smiles and waves

Bloom says: Hi! It's great to be here

Host says: As you can see there's a bunch of people already here to ask you some questions.

Bloom says: That's awesome! I can't wait!

Host says: peggm11 has a question.

peggm11 says: How do you control your powers?

Bloom says: Well, I'm just learning right now!

Bloom says: Alfea classes are really helping though.

Bloom says: I have to concentrate a LOT!

Bloom says: It does get easier with practice though

Bloom says: It's really cool to hang out with the Winx at school too

fairycoolgirl says: Bloom do you think everyone has Winx?

Bloom says: Yes, it may not look like what they expect though

Bloom says: everyone has something magical deep inside them, and they have the power to make their dreams come true

Host says: chibimoonemem has a question for you Bloom

chibimoonemem says to WinxGirl99: Do you have a BEST friend out of your friends?

Bloom says: Well, I think all of the Winx girls are my best friends, but Stella has been my friend the longest, so I might be a little closer to her

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: do you think i have winx?

Bloom says: I think everyone has magic inside them

nicole2005 says: What do you like the best about Alfea, Bloom?

Bloom says: Hmmm.. Well, I like hanging out with the rest of the Winx Club, and learning how to control my powers

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: Why are there no boys at Alfea School Bloom?

Host says: Good question WinxGirl99!

Bloom says: Well, since it’s a boarding school, it can’t be co-ed. They just don’t seem to have co-ed boarding schools here

mewichigotomboy says: whos your favorite teacher bloom

Bloom says: Professor WizGiz is really funny, so I guess he might be my favorite.

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: does that mean that there are no boy faries?

Hot chick says: SO HOWS PRINCE SKY

Bloom says: Well, there could be boys who are fairies -- there's a lot of realms

Bloom says: I just don't know where the boy fairies go to school!

Bloom says: Sky is great!

Bloom says: He's doing homework right now though!

Bloom says: I sent him a text message before I came -- so he says Hi!

lovetoshop78 says to Bloom: Bloom how did you feel when you found out you had Winx?

Bloom says: It was awesome and a little freaky at the same time. I'm glad Stella was there to let me know what was happening

Glam Gal says to Bloom: What's your fave spell, why, and how do you do it? Sorry if I ask too much, Bloom!!! I just would really like to know the anwser, 'specally cause yur my fave Winx Girl.

Bloom says: That's great -- thanks!

Bloom says: Well, I've got so many and I love them all --

Bloom says: I'm still learning them, so I guess I I don't have a favorite yet1

Glam Gal says to Bloom: Do you still like Sky, even though you found out he's not Brandon? Did you forgive him yet?

Bloom says: Yeah, I do.... and really, I like him for who he is. I was mad at first, but I like him for who he is

StarFairy999 says: will you take up the throne of sparx?

Bloom says: I'm still in school, and that's a little far away to think about right now -- I mean, I just found out that there was a kingdom called Sparx.

Bloom says: I'm trying to not rush things y'know

veisha says to Bloom: whats ur fave class bloom

Host says: These are really good questions everyone.

Bloom says: Hmmm…. Well let’s see, it kinda changes from term to term. I used to dread Metamorphosis, but that was because I had such a hard time, but now I really like it!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Cool. I was wodering if you would save the witches if they were ever in trouble?

Bloom says: Well, I probably would.....

Bloom says: it would be the right thing to do

Bloom says: plus, you never know, they could have a teeny tiny speck of goodness somewhere in there!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Did finding out you were roalty effect your daily life?

Bloom says: No -- not really! I still go to school, and still have the same friends! I guess it's different 'cause so many of the girls here are royalty too!

StarFairy999 says: Whats it like being away from your mom for so long? Mine is on vacation for 4 days and i dont know what to do i miss her so much

Bloom says: I miss my Mom tons!!!!!! It's really hard, but I've got an inter realm phone card now, so it makes it easier!

Bloom says: But I soooooooo miss her!

teddybleedstears says to Bloom: Bloom what was your fav thing that you did with the Winx Club?

Bloom says: Oh ... I would have to say I love hanging out in Magix .... and just doing spells

veisha says to Bloom: do you like having winx?

Bloom says: I do! It's really cool! And I'm so glad that I'm learning how to control it!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: What's your favorite animal? Why?

Bloom says: Bunnies! Because of Kiko of course!

cecyangel says to Bloom: Bloom would you like to meet your birth parents?

Bloom says: Well, I have to say I am curious

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: What do you think of the message boards?

Bloom says: They are AWESOME! I think its so neat to hear what everyone thinks!

YRAM says: Is it hard keeping your powers secret when you come to earth to visit?

Bloom says: TOTALLY! It's hard to keep things hidden, but I'm glad that I can help my family with my powers.

nicole2005 says to Bloom: Why the Senior witches r after your powers?

Bloom says: They're looking for power anywhere they can get it. I heard a rumour outside the Hex Cafe that they want to rule the realms!

balto says: is it hard batiling witchis

Bloom says: Yes it is -- it takes a whole lot of energy and concentration. I wouldn't want to go for a run after doing battle!

cecyangel says to Bloom: are the other winx girls coming to chat with us?

Host says: I'll answer that one. We're actually in talks right now with the rest of the Winx girls.

StarFairy999 says: Will Merta be able to stay at Alfea with you girls? She is so nice! I'm sure you will all be great friends!!!

Bloom says: Yeah, Mirta is really nice (even when she is a pumpkin!). I think that she's going to try to transfer to Alfea next trem. I hope she'll be allowed!

Bloom says: opps -- I meant to say term

sephiroth says: remember the barrier around magix that kept your parents out? Exactly how does it know what is magical enough and what isn't?

Bloom says: I'm not really sure how that works! I'm just learning, but we haven't covered that in class yet!

softball94 says to Bloom: hey bloom does stella all ways act mean

Bloom says: No -- when she was acting all crazy and mean- it was because she was under a spell. She's really pretty nice, and she's a loyal friend.

shiara says to Bloom: do you and Rivin get along ok?

Bloom says: Well, we have our moments, but really, I think he's probably nice. I mean, all the rest of the guys like him. He can just have a bit attitude sometimes. But I guess that's normal....

winxqueen16 says: What is ur fave color?

Bloom says: I love all the colors, but right now I think teal blue is the bomb!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Do you consider yourself the leader of the group?

Bloom says: Well.... I don't know if I'm exactly the leader. We're a team!

linet273 says to Bloom: is it cool having powers

Bloom says: Yeah -- I think it's awesome!

winxqueen16 says: What is ur fav thing to o with ur powers.

Bloom says: Right now I love practicing, and sometimes I like making little magical presents for my friends

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: Bloom i have a boy problem. .... How do i break up with my boyfriend??

Bloom says: ummm.. that's a tough one. Be direct, but kind. You have to let people know how you feel, and if you think you two are just growing apart, then say so. You can let people know how you feel without crushing them though.

honeycat193 says: what is your favorite thing about being a fairy Bloom?

Bloom says: well, I love the outfits! LOL!!!

Bloom says: But mostly, I love helping keep Alfea and my friends safe.

Host says: Hey all, just a reminder that we can't answer everyones questions, but we'll do the best we can. Keep up with the good questions though.

linet273 says to Bloom: how do you handel the witchs even if they keep attaching people

Bloom says: Yeah, they're pretty mean sometimes! But we all just do the best we can.

shiara says: Hey Bloom where you good at Math?

Bloom says: I'm working on it! But Tecna rocks with math!

Bloom says: I wish I could be as good as she is!

shiara says: Bloom are you good at Math?

softball94 says to Bloom: are there chat rooms offten

Host says: We'll try to have them as often as we can. Any other questions for Bloom.

cecyangel says to Bloom: can you change outfits when you are a fairy?

Bloom says: I haven't eve tried yet! Usually I'm super busy when I'm in my fairy outfit -'cause I wear it when I'm using my magic .

will says: what is the dragonfire exactly?

Bloom says: It seems to be my power...

Dream12 says to peggm11: Do you know any easy fire spells Bloom? I know I have a fire power, I just need spells........

Host says: Let's let Bloom answer that question.

Bloom says: I had some in my book in my room... but I can't think of one off the top of my head! Sorry! Fire power just comes naturally to me.

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's you favorite book Bloom?

Bloom says: Right now I’m pretty focused on learning more magic, so I’d have to say “Magic Basics: Simple Spells.”

will says: have you ever riden a dragon?

Bloom says: No I haven't. But I know the H&B boys have dragons and do dragon wrangling. I've never asked if they can actually be ridden!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Have you visited the Starbucks thread? It's hilarious! *dodges brick*

Host says: oh, no, not the brick dodgers!

Bloom says: No -- I haven't seen that one -- sounds dangerous though. LOL!!

cecyangel says to Bloom: Do you like Princess Diaspro Bloom ?

Bloom says: well... we ummmm... sorta got off on the wrong foot.

Bloom says: Bloom* blushes

Bloom says: I thought that she was one of the witches.

WinxGirl99 says to Bloom: what is your fave movie?

Bloom says: One I saw in Magix with the rest of the Winx Club “Melanie Fluff Power Princess.” It’s about this really cool princess who learns how to rule her realm with style from an older, wiser fairy. It’s got a great soundtrack, and there’s a prince in it who is a total hottie!

StarFairy999 says: What was your favorite adventure with the girls and/or guys?

Bloom says: It's really hard to pick a favorite, and stuff just keeps happening too!

Club WinxGirl says to Bloom: what do you think about Prince Sky

Bloom says: umm.. he's really sweet1

mg_winxclub says: Do you think the classes will be harder next year at Alfea?

Bloom says: I've heard some of the older girls talking in the halls, and I think they will be, but I think we'll be able to handle it -- if we study hard that is!

Club WinxGirl says to Bloom: i love the winx so much im there #1 fan..your my favorite Bloom

Bloom says: Thanks!!!

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's your favorite food?Mines Pizza.

Bloom says: Mine too! I love pizza with extra cheese!!!

Txdancer says to Bloom: can you tell muse hi for me

Bloom says: Sure!! I know she'll think that's cool!

chibimoonemem says to Bloom: Whose hair is the best of all your friends?

peggm11 says to Bloom: duh stellas

Bloom says: Oh - everyone has awesome hair. I really love Flora's actually, but Stella's is so shiny, and Musa's is perky....

Bloom says: Techna has such a cool do too!

Dream12 says to peggm11: Would you rather learn new spells, or hang out with the Winx Club in Magix all day?

Bloom says: Oh, that is hard! I love hangin' with my friends, but I also love to learn new stuff!

Bloom says: So ideally,I'd do half and half!

winx777 says: What does Stella use on her hair to make it shiny???

Bloom says: She's got something that Flora has made. Flora makes all kinds of fab potions to keep us looking great!

Bloom says: I don't know what it is called though...

Baby Lashantia says: what's your fave song

Bloom says: right now I've been listening to Searchin'

will says: in the blog entrys musa said when you went to vist red fountain she thought she saw one of the dragons bow a little to you .Is that true?

Bloom says: Yeah. I mean, it wasn't a huge bow or anything, but it was there.

Bloom says: It was really cool!

Host says: Does anyone have any more questions?

winx777 says: Is it true that honey works on your hair too?

Bloom says: That would be a question I'd have to ask Stella or Flora. But they have done a hair mask that smells kinda like honey!

lovetoshop78 says to Bloom: do you ever plan on getting your ears pierced

Bloom says: I haven't ever thought about getting my ears pierced. So maybe, if I'm older I might, but I might be able to just make magic earrings!

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's your favorite drink?Mines just plain water.

Bloom says: I love water too, and I like the herbal teas that Flora makes too! She has an awesome Chai mix!

lrb98 says to Bloom: Do you like Lions?

Bloom says: Yeah - Lions are pretty cool! I don't think I'd want one near Kiko though!

winx_girl_006 says to Bloom: What did you really love to do when you have some free time?

Bloom says: I love to go for a walk, hang out in my room or, best of all, call my mom on my inter realm phone card.

dramaqueen1 says: would u rather have winx or be normal and be with ur parents more?

Bloom says: Oh, I miss my folks so much, that sometimes I think about being normal again

Bloom says: But I'd have to say I really like being here, learning how to do good things with my magic powers

lrb98 says to Bloom: What's your favorite spell?

Bloom says: I've got tons of them that I like, so I don't have a favorite one of my own yet! I do like Musa's subwoofer blast though!

lovetoshop78 says: what's your least fav food?

Bloom says: ummm... well, y'know if you have salad for lunch, and it's been in your locker all day, and you remeber it after school - but it's all soggy?! THAT's my least favorite!

Host says: Two more questions. Then I'm sorry, Bloom needs to get back to Magix.

cecyangel says to Bloom: I just love your room how did you decorate it?

Bloom says: Some of it was already decorated when I got there, and then Flora and I came up with some stuff of our own to make it more personal.

lrb98 says to Bloom: If you had to chose between your friends or powers what would you chose?

Bloom says: I'd have to say .... my friends! They would always have to come first!

Host says: It was great to have you as a guest here Bloom. I'm really glad to have finally met you. I hope you can come chat with us again sometime.

Bloom says: Thank so much for having me! And thanks everyone for such great questions!

Bloom says: Bye!

Host says: we love you Bloom!

Bloom says: Bloom* smiles and waves goodbye

Bloom says: thanks!

Host says: Well, that was fun.

Host says: Bloom is just leaving now. I guess she has to rush to another event.

Host says: Ah, the life of a celeb.

Host says: I've just found out we'll be having another guest from Magix.

Host says: Flora will be in the studio on April 21st.

Host says: Same time, same channel. :)

Host says: We're now going to have about 15 mins of open moderated chat so you all can chat with each other.

Host says: Thanx everyone for such great questions!

Conversation

Mom and I React to Game of Thrones 7x07

Before the show

Mom: "So that's gonna suck now that the Night King has a dragon."

Me: "Yeah, that's not gonna be good."

Mom: "They're gonna have to kill him with the dragon glass because that's how they made him."

Recap

Mom: "She's becoming evil."

Me: "Sansa?!"

Mom: "Yes. She's evil."

Me: "I don't think she's evil. I think she's confused. She's trying to reconcile her three major role models. Her mother, Cersei, and Margaery. And they don't blend. Daenerys is evil. She's becoming completely corrupted by the idea of the throne instead of why she wanted it in the first place."

The Map

Me: "Why is Oldtown still there?"

Mom: "I don't know."

King's Landing

Mom: "Look at them all. Oh, it's the meeting!"

Me: "It is a trap. She wanted Sansa there too."

Jamie: "Maybe it is all cocks after all."

Me: *chokes on my ice cream*

Mom: "Did he rattle you?"

Me: "Yes."

Jamie's a very pretty man, okay?

Rumbling

Mom: "Oh, the wildlings?"

Me: "The Dothraki. They haven't even seen Jon's side yet."

The Hound pokes at the box with the dead thing in it

Me: "Why does he keep dicking with shit?"

Mom: "He can't believe it."

Cersei: "If something goes wrong, kill the silver-haired bitch first..." *rattles off a list*

Jamie: *looks worried*

Mom: "Oh, yeah. She's lost her mind."

Bronn greets Tyrion and The Hound and Brienne glare at each other

Mom: "OH SHIT!"

Me: "'You didn't think I'd make it, did you? Wellll, I did.'"

Ellen Degeneres reference totally lost on my mom

The Hound and Brienne chat

Mom: "He likes her."

Me: "He respects her."

Everyone marches to the meeting place

Mom: "Why does this look like a set-up?"

Me: "Because it is. That's why Sansa didn't go and Daenerys isn't there yet."

The Hound tells everyone not to open the box

Mom: "Someone's gonna open the box."

Me: "Well, the box is getting opened anyway. It doesn't really matter when. It's tied up and contained."

Mom: "All the entrances are guarded."

Me: "Yup. This is meant to be a trap."

The Mountain walks up

Mom: "Oh shit! His brother!"

Yuron walks up and eyes Theon

Mom: "Oh, fuck!"

Me: "What an awkward group of people to have in one place."

Mom: "Where's Daenerys?"

Me: "She's got the dragon in case it goes south."

Dragon screech

Cersei: *shits a brick*

Me: "She hasn't seen them yet."

Mom: "None of them have."

Daenerys enters on top of a dragon

Me: "She's not stupid. She knows this is probably a trap. Try getting past the dragon to trap her ass."

Me: "Cersei's like 'Oh fuuuuck.'"

Everyone sits down

Me: "This is so awkward."

Daenerys starts to talk and Yuron pipes up

Me: "Oh, God. Even more awkward."

Jamie and Cersei tell Yuron to sit down

Me: "This isn't about you, diva."

The Hound pulls out the box

Mom: "It's gonna kill someone."

Me: "Nah, it's only one and there are so many people there who can deal with it."

The Hound opens the box, which takes forever

Me: "What's in the booooxxx?"

Me and Mom: "WHAT'S IN THE BOOOOXXXX?!"

The Hound kicks over the box and the thing runs at Cersei

Me: "OHHH FUCK!"

Jon: "We can destroy them by burning them, and we can destroy them with dragon glass."

Cersei looks uneasy

Me: "Yeah, she feels silly right about now."

Jon: "There is only one war that matters. The great war, and it is here."

Mom: "Cersei's like 'FUCK.'"

Me: "Jamie's like 'holy shit!'"

Mom: "Yuron's bailing."

Me: "Ew, did he just hit on Daenerys after he proposed to Cersei?"

Cersei accepts the truce

Me: "Huh."

Mom: "Wow."

Cersei asks Jon not to choose sides

Mom: "Oh, so he has to leave her!"

Me: "Daenerys gets it. She gave him the nod."

Jon pledges his loyalty to Daenerys

Me: "Ohhhh damn."

Cersei throws a bitch fit and storms off

Me: "Jamie doesn't like that."

Everyone agrees Jon did a dumb thing

Me: "At least he's honest."

Tyrion goes to talk to Cersei

Mom: "Oh my God. So many bad ideas."

Me: "I don't think she'll kill him because that will be an aggressive act toward Daenerys."

Tyrion finds Jamie outside Cersei's

Me: "Oh, shit. He already tried. I think Jamie's going to have to kill her in the end."

Mom: "She's pregnant."

Me: "He killed the Mad King when he wanted to burn everyone in the city. Cersei's willing to let everyone in the city die before she gives it to anyone."

Mom: "Is she drinking wine?"

Me: "Great for the baby."

Tyrion urges Cersei to kill him

Mom: "Fuck!"

Me: "Because if she does it gives Daenerys cause to take the city."

Mom: "Wow."

Tyrion walks out to meet the others

Mom: "I think she agreed."

Me: "What?!"

Cersei walks out with her entourage

Me: "It's gonna be conditional."

Cersei announces she'll march her armies North to fight alongside them

Mom: "Wow."

Winterfell

Baelish talks to Sansa about unnaming Jon and maybe getting rid of Arya

Mom: "God, why is she listening to this guy?!"

Me: "I don't think she is. He only thinks she is."

I might over-estimate Sansa at every turn, guys

Sansa and Baelish imagine Arya wants to be Lady of Winterfell

Me: "She knows that's not true. Arya never wanted to be a lady."

Dragonstone

Daenerys announces she's going to sail with Jon

Mom: "Bow chicka wow wow."

Theon asks to talk to Jon

Mom: "Oh, God. He wants to kill him. He wants to fucking kill him."

Theon starts talking to Jon about right and wrong

Me: "What the fuck is this?"

Jon: "What I can forgive, I do."

Me: "Awww."

Theon mentions Yara

Jon: "Then why are you still talking to me?"

Me: "Like he doesn't have to pick. If he goes and saves Yara. Of course go save Yara."

Theon gets in a knock-down-drag-out with what's his name

Mom: "Oh, God. God, he's gonna kill him. Somebody step in."

The guy keeps telling Theon to stay down or he'll kill him and Theon keeps getting back up

Mom: "Jesus!"

Me: "He can take a lot. He's been through Bolton Bootcamp. He's FINE."

And he was indeed fine

Winterfell

Me: "I think she's playing him."

Mom: "I don't think so."

Me: "She knows his game. She's playing him."

Mom: "She's very smart, so she's playing dumb."

Sansa calls Arya to the hall

Mom: "She's gonna confess."

Sansa talks about treason and murder

Me: "Him, not her. Baelish."

Mom: "BRAN CAN SEE EVERYTHING! OH MY GOD, HE KNEW EVERYTHING!"

Sure enough

Me: "Hahahaha! Oh, this is gonna freak him out."

Arya straight up slits his throat

Me: "Oh fuck."

King's Landing

Cersei asks Jamie why he's planning an expedition north

Me: "She's not marching north, the bitch. Come on, Jamie. Ditch her ass."

Jamie tries to talk sense into Cersei

Me: "She truly doesn't give a SHIT."

Jamie: "I pledged to ride north and I intend to ride north." *gets blocked by The Mountain*

Cersei: "No one walks away from me!"

Me: "Fucking bunny boiler."

Jamie walks out

Me: "YES! GO BE WITH BRIENNE! DITCH THIS PSYCHO!"

Mom: "He's taking the army! He doesn't give a shit what she says."

Jamie gets snowed on

Mom: "Snow..." *like 'why is that a big deal?'*

Me: "Because he's still in the South. Snow in the South."

Completely shatters her theory that the south would be safe from the white walkers if it never saw winter. But she was right about them not being able to cross water. She wants that noted.

Winterfell

Me: "SAM!"

We love him. Every time he comes on screen we're happy to see him

Sam: "I wasn't sure you'd remember me."

Me: "He remembers everything."

Bran: "I remember everything."

Bran tells Sam Jon is on his way back to Winterfell with Daenerys

Me: "'Who killed your dad and brother, by the by.'"

Bran tells Sam who Jon really is

Me: "I told you!"

Mom: "Holy shit!"

Bran: "He's never been a bastard. He's the heir to the iron throne."

Me: "Damn."

Mom: "It's gonna change EVERYTHING."

Me: "He doesn't want it."

Bran at the heart tree

Mom: "God, where is he going?"

Me: "He's tracking everything north of the wall for them."

The Wall

White Walkers appear

Mom: "They're coming! Oh, God!"

Me: "Bran's watching. He's gonna tell someone."

Mom: "THE DRAGON! IT'S GONNA BURN THE ICE!"

Zombie dragon!

Me: "Oh, fuck."

Dragon starts melting the wall

Me: "Their only chance is if Bran can warg the dead dragon."

Wall starts collapsing

Me: "Oh, God. Oh God. There it goes! OH GOD!"

WORRIED! VERY WORRIED

Mom: "THE WALL IS GONE!"

Me: "Fuuuuuck."

After the show

Me: "End of season seven."

Mom: "We did it! We're at the end now! Oh, God. It's gonna be terrible. So many people are gonna die."

Me: "I think everyone's going to die, except Bran because he's kind of everywhere."

don't... don't let me start on the benefits of meds. my kid has been rotating cocktails, I think we've hit the right one. Finally. she's on her 2nd therapist and has just been told "you're probably borderline personality disorder" and. meds. The last 3 weeks have been the 1st time in 18 months that i'm not terrified of looking at her in a way that she'll interpret as "mom is mad at me, therefore mom hates me, MELTDOWN." (forgive the anon... in case you want to post this.) (asks are 2damn short)

Oh man. Poor kitten. You have my best wishes, and hopes for quick improvement. *hugs you lots*

Even the least favorable studies I’ve looked at seem to agree: mild mental illness, the kind that also has been shown to remit on its own, might be helped with placebos. But severe mental illness generally just isn’t. And severe mental health stuff doesn’t tend to go away by itself. And also, even when both placebos and medication show an improvement over no treatment, that’s not evidence that no treatment is necessary -- it’s evidence that SOME form of treatment is ABSOLUTELY better than nothing. We still need to treat it.

Worse, anti-meds advocates usually turn around and tout other remedies -- herbal stuff, the much-lauded yoga solution to literally everything -- that aren’t, themselves, any better than placebos for serious mental illness. Their only virtue appears to be that they are not meds from Big Pharma and are therefore ideologically, morally “pure.”

Sometimes, people will urge someone like me to do replace a med with some other thing, a supplement or vitamin. Like, stop taking Prozac and take St. John’s Wort instead. That’s a really popular one because St. John’s Wort is actually really potent as far as those things go. Which, sorry not sorry, when given a choice between a Big Pharma drug and an herbal supplement that works in a super-similar way, I would much rather take a refined drug with consistent potency and a side effect profile that is predictable and widely understood by the health care professionals I see. (I have to tell ALL my docs about ALL my meds, because yes, a drug I take for IBS may interact with a psych med, and the likelihood of all my doctors understanding what some herbal supplement I pay through the nose for at Whole Foods is doing to me is pretty slim. Show them an SSRI, most know what to do with it.) Also, fuck you, haters, the Big Pharma bad scary icky drug is covered by my fucking insurance, so IDK maybe just suck my ass and see how you feel after shutting up for a while.

Drugs and therapy do help many people, if a person can get the right meds and the right therapist/form of therapy. We aren’t great at targeting that stuff yet, but we get better all the time, and there is a lot of hope out there. I truly believe there is.

And even the shitty job we manage to do is 99/100 times gonna be better than plants and yoga and suffering.

YAY RANTING.

Maybe I'm just not good at making it clear Rio: Ryan doesn't get it either Buster: That's them Buster: Lads have really fucked you over, babe Buster: I hate it Buster: I've always known exactly what you want and don't.

Rio: Because Rio: well because I dress how I do, and I put myself out there naked all the time anyway Rio: what else would people think Rio: it's logical Buster: Bullshit Buster: Normal people would reckon that how you dress doesn't make a difference Buster: And neither does your job, 'Cause that's what it is, babe. A job Buster: If Indie was doing it you wouldn't let people treat her like shit Rio: But she isn't and wouldn't Rio: I'm not saying it's right but it's the world we live in Rio: it is what it is Buster: No, cunts are gonna think what cunts are gonna think but that ain't your fault Buster: I refuse to believe your ma ain't never taken you to a women's march or some shit Buster: If anything you should get more respect for doing it, not less, 'cause of the cunts you have to deal with Rio: Well I don't so whatever Buster: Not whatever Buster: It's shit and you don't have to accept it Rio: Christ, do you wanna go on a march or something Buster: Shut up Buster: Have you met my mother and sister? I get all the feminist speeches I need Rio: Yeah well you know it's bullshit then Buster: What drugs did he give you?

Buster: Why are you asking me that? You already know the answers Rio: I'm not in the mood now Rio: that ship has sailed Buster: If you think I'm gonna fuck you in this state then I don't know what to tell you Rio: You're not Buster: That's my point Rio: So Rio: you can go Buster: No Buster: I might be too sober for whatever the fuck is going on with you right now but that doesn't mean I'm leaving you to it Buster: Not actually that much of a cunt, like Rio: Entertain yourself then Buster: Fine Rio: You actually got nothing better on Rio: wake Nance up, like Buster: I'm not just sitting here Buster: I've got plenty of shit to do Rio: You should focus for once Buster: Stop telling me what to do Rio: It was a suggestion not a demand Rio: touchy Buster: Don't Buster: You're so annoying on whatever Drew's mystery freebies are Rio: Maybe you just deserve it Buster: What is that meant to mean?

Rio: No Rio: From here Buster: Come to London with me Rio: I don't think I can come meet her parents with you babe Buster: That's not what I said Buster: And I'm not doing that anyway Rio: Since when? Buster: Since today when I told her I'm not Rio: Why didn't you tell me Buster: There's been a lot going on, babe Buster: You didn't wanna talk to me and I just wanted to say sorry so Rio: Ugh Rio: you don't tell me any of the good bits Buster: Bullshit Buster: I tell you everything Rio: Obviously not boy Buster: Fuck off Rio: You are rude Buster: Stop lying Rio: Yet more rudeness Rio: Unbelieveable Buster: You love me Buster: Shh Rio: Sad but true Buster: Don't say it like that Rio: Jokes Buster: 😒 Rio: Can dish it out but can't take it huh Buster: You don't have to be competitively rude Buster: It's not a game, like Rio: Oh so you want me to say nice things to you and you get to be a meanie Rio: I think not Buster: I can be nice Rio: You're gonna have to prove that Buster: Yeah?

Buster: 'Course not Buster: Are you okay? Rio: Dehydrated like a motherfucker Rio: don't say told you so Rio: is Nance up? Buster: Drink your water I deliberately left it within reach Buster: Neither of you were when I left but she could have been faking so she didn't have to face the world, like Rio: You're cute Rio: I'll attempt to lift my head, like Rio: Poor babe, I'm not hearing any groans of despair so maybe she's still out Buster: I'll rig up some kind of elaborate straw set up like the nerd I am if you wait for me Buster: I'll console her with breakfast either way Rio: Don't make me laugh Rio: or be nice to me Rio: Good idea Rio: that and complete feigned ignorance, at least I got so trashed it's almost believeable from me too Buster: I'll try not to make you laugh but you can't stop me being nice to you Buster: Yeah, obviously Buster: Do you want that from me too? Rio: No Rio: I don't like it when we don't tell each other the truth Buster: Me either Rio: How are you?

Buster: He's here somewhere, queuing for espresso Buster: But he was hardly bringing his A game to you at that AM after a mad dash to the 24, like Rio: Oh God Rio: might crawl into Nance's shame pit with her Rio: don't mind me Buster: There's no need Buster: You were all over the place, but at least you weren't stalking your exes Buster: Did think I might be one at certain points but Buster: Cheers for not dumping me Rio: Really throw him off Rio: A power move, honestly, and a better use of my evening alas Rio: Shut up Buster: I was trying to stalk Drew so I could murder him in fairness so I can't judge Rio: I remember that much Rio: Let's not Buster: You were right, as usual Buster: Take it Rio: I did not feel it, trust Buster: I know Rio: Indie's texting Rio: Ugh, I feel awful Buster: Are you gonna tell her? Rio: I don't think so? Rio: I hate feeling like I'm lying again but Rio: it's not worth it, she knows what he is, I don't need to feel like I'm stirring the pot Buster: For what my opinion's worth, now I'm calmer about it I don't reckon you should either Buster: How fucked to know that your dad ain't changed from the days he was fucking your mum for drugs Buster: She don't need that spelled out again Rio: Yeah Rio: It'll just hurt her Rio: I don't trust him to give a fuck so Rio: Nah Buster: Exactly Buster: I'm sorry I lost it Buster: You don't have to worry about what I'm gonna do, alright Rio: I don't blame you Rio: it was valid Rio: but glad we're on the same page about what to do now Buster: Yeah Buster: I don't wanna fight with you about that cunt of all people Rio: Seriously Rio: Agreed Rio: Safe to say I'm off the drugs but if I get the urge Rio: go somewhere else, like Rio: easy to avoid Buster: It's not like he comes around to see Indie that often either so Buster: I just wish Chlo was that easy to avoid Rio: If only Rio: Have you heard anything since? Buster: I've blocked her socials 'cause she was all over my feed so I'm waiting for that backlash but no Buster: I meant everything I said last night, you know Rio: Wait for her to find you on some obscure platform you'd forgot about Rio: that's always fun Rio: yeah, I know Buster: If she starts liking more of your pics we know why Buster: Hopefully even she isn't shameless enough to try and talk to me via Nance after everything though Rio: Won't get cocky, like Rio: Yikes Rio: She wouldn't, right? Buster: Honestly?
