#let this stupid ass trend die

[itsjustpoopeh]

whew some of the takes i have seen in the tags

you can’t say that men need to work on toxic masculinity and holding themselves and each other accountable while simultaneously calling any portrayal of them *actually doing that* “bad writing because it’s unrealistic” like? do y’all think through what you’re saying or nah?

𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍

as we’ve already established this man is a whole ass boomer and doesn’t know what tf you’re talking about half the time

so when you come to him chatting away about another stupid tiktok trend he’s only half listening

humming along occasionally and going ‘that sounds fun sweetheart’ but as soon as the words ‘kissing trend’ hit his ears his interest is 📈📈📈 and you have his full attention

will be soso useless when you’re trying to find the right lipstick shade cause every time you ask his opinion he’ll just go

:) they all look pretty on you :)

and you’re just like chan that’s so cute and all but yOU’RE NO HELP RN

finds it so hard to concentrate while you’re leaving the lipstick stains all over his face cause you just look so cute giggling between every kiss and he’s so <333

just really wants to kiss you :( and gets all grumpy when you tell him to focus :( 

takes his role very seriously when the camera is on him though

will take your face in his hand after wiping away your lipstick smudge, turning your face towards him and this mf is looking at you all 🥺 with your red lipstick covering his face

and you’ve never seen a prettier sight

cue the comments going wild over how dreamy ur boyfriend is

and he just laughs straight in ur face when you get all huffy

the type to repost it all over his socials, like this tiktok will be his whole personality for the next three months 

probably has it pinned on his insta and linked in his bio or some shit 😭

down so bad and it shows

expect to be clowned in the comments by the rest of the guys

they just don’t wanna admit how cute the both of you are though <333

𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐇𝐎

takes a good full week of nagging for him to finally give in

he just really likes to see u beg :(

will be soso moody at the start and sits on the edge of ur bed feeling sorry for himself as you choose out ur lipstick

and every time you ask him what colour you should use he’s just like ‘🙄 idc what you wear let’s just get this over with 🙄🙄’

and you would’ve punched him straight in the teeth if he wasn’t essential to ur plan 

pls he’ll literally melt once you sit on his lap and take his face between his hands

kissing you is definitely one of his fav hobbies so he’ll come around as soon as your pretty lips come in contact with his skin

will be all <333

you end up having to re-film it so many times cause this guy gets so carried away

every time you think he’s finally gonna do what you asked he just ends up planting his lips on yours again

you can’t even count the amount of times you had to reapply your lipstick cause this mf was busy kissing it off you

you’ll probably end up with so many drafts of the two of you just making out

you just look so pretty with your lipstick all smudged, he can’t help kissing you :(

will take a good hour of filming before this guys finally gets it right

cutest couple on the internet istg

gets so smug when he sees all the comments swooning over him the next day and you’re just like :/ stfu or else i’ll delete it 

if only they all knew how hard he made the whole process for you 😭

ends up being one of his fav videos 

so much so that’ll he’ll send it to everyone he knows and is like

heart, comment and share or die

thinks tiktok trends are stupid af but he doesn’t mind this one ig 🙄

𝐒𝐄𝐎 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐁𝐈𝐍

down so bad that he’ll agree right away 

but you bet your ass he’s gonna be complaining the whole time about how he’s ‘putting his reputation on the line’ for you

but he’s sitting on your bed blushing, twiddling his thumbs and kicking his feet like a fucking teenage girl while you apply lipstick to your lips

suggests you kiss him on the lips first and you’re just like ‘yeah bro not gonna happen 🙄’ cause you j u s t know as soon as your lips meet his you’ll be pulled into making out with him for the next hour 

he’s just very bad at focusing on the task at hand so every time you plant a kiss on his face he’ll be chasing after your lips with his own and pouting all cutely when you refuse to kiss him

likes watching you reapply your lipstick 

ur just so pretty to this guy 

can’t stop fucking laughing when you finally get to it

when he sees his face in the mirror he’s like whAT HAVE YOU DONE?? THIS IS GONNA TAKE FOREVER TO WASH OFF????

and it’s like bRO STAY FOCUSED WE HAVE A TIKTOK TO FILM HERE

every time he turns your face towards him and you pan the camera over to him he’ll just go sdhisjdidjdAHAHAHAHA

and now half your drafts are just you shouting at him to f o c u s and hitting him with a pillow and he’s just cackling like an idiot 

you end up having to post one of those cause this mf is useless and can’t follow a simple trend 

first to comment is minho cause he has ur notifications on just to clown u

literally just a ‘look at these pussies’ and somehow it has 40k likes in three minutes

you’re surrounded by idiots  

𝐇𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐘𝐔𝐍𝐉𝐈𝐍

your lipstick stain is his fav accessory so you bet he’s agreeing right away

doesn’t mean he’s gonna make it easy for you though

argues with you about what shade of lipstick you should wear

and has no problem taking his sweet ass time going through your shades

‘what colour lipstick do you think would suit me the most? 🤨’

‘bro idc you’ve been at this for the last half hour, just piCK ONE?!’

‘-idk i think pink will go with my hair the best but all the pink shades you have are ugly af’

‘istg’

probably records you while you’re leaving the kisses on your face and posts it

don’t be surprised when it ends up getting twice as much likes as your original tiktok :(

puckers his lips all annoyingly and makes kissy noises when you’re done with the rest of his face

and you’re just like 🙄 c’mere idiot 🙄

when you finally film the tiktok he takes is soso seriously that it gives you whiplash

swipes at the smudge stain all lovingly and turns your face towards him, thumb tracing over your bottom lip and eyes flickering between your eyes and mouth and you’re just like?????

how??? tf??? is this man able to turn from the most annoying brat you’ve ever met to an actual dream boat within the span of 10 seconds???

you have half a mind to post the bts just to show everyone what he’s really like (aka a little asshole)

just knows tiktok is gonna go crazy over you guys

and sure enough it’s filled with

‘you mean OUR boyfriend’ 

‘[name], where did you find him again? 🧐 for science ofc’

‘the smudges are meant to be all around his face [name] not just his lips 🙄🙄’

and he just comments ‘she can’t resist me guys <333’ just block his ass already 

𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐉𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐆

nodding his head and agreeing before you even finish your sentence

‘hey babe, wanna film this kissing-‘

‘yes’

‘…bro i didn’t even tell you what we were doing??’

‘idc as long as i get to kiss you idc … i get to kiss you right!? … [name]?!’

very enthusiastic 

just likes showing you off so he gets really into it

picks out some random red shade cause it ‘brings out his eyes’ 🙄

and you’re like okay whatever but you can’t help but agree he looks so cute all smiley with your lipstick smudged all over his face 

gets distracted so easily 

demands you kiss him on the mouth before moving onto his face and before you know it you’ve just been making out for the last half hour

‘but jisung, what about the tiktok trend?’ ‘the what????’

goes back to kissing you cause he’s so love drunk and can’t think straight once he’s had a taste of your lips

good luck getting him off you

can’t keep a straight face while you’re filming istg

knows the actual trend doesn’t involve kissing but as soon as he swipes your little smudge stain away and turns your face towards him he just finds himself leaning in again

and the rest of the tiktok is just him giggling against your mouth

and before you can even think about cutting that part out he’s already posted it

all the comments are so in love then there’s just hyunjin with ‘🤮🤮’

his lockscreen is 100% a selfie of the both of you covered in lipstick stains

one of his fav videos ever and will have no problem shoving it in peoples face out of nowhere

‘hey jisung, haven’t seen you in awhile-‘

‘yeah that’s great hahaha, loOK AT THIS VIDEO ME AND [NAME] FILMED, ISN’T SHE THE CUTEST??? LOOK AT HER?? LITERAL LOML???’

‘…’

so whipped for you and this trend didn’t help that fact

𝐋𝐄𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐗

probably the one to suggest it tbh

saw it on tiktok one day and was like ‘…me and [name] would slay this’

you only agree to do it cause he’s so cute when he’s excited over smth <333

looks up at you so 🥺 as you kiss all over his face

hold his chin in your hand and he’ll melt

forgets the trend as soon as your soft lips make contact with his skin and can’t help but kiss you every now and then while you’re marking his face 

can’t keep the smile off his face when you’re recording and he looks so damn lovesick and whipped for you that it breaks tiktok for a good week

all the comments will be

‘he’s so in love with her 😭’

‘wish my boyfriend would look at me the way felix looks at [name] 💔’

‘girlie pls drop a tutorial on where to find a guy like this 🙏’

definitely the type to forward it to everyone he knows

and their mother

probably becomes his lockscreen and everytime he holds his thumb against the screen and replays it he’s just so :)

𝐊𝐈𝐌 𝐒𝐄𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐌𝐈𝐍

acts like it’s so inconvenient to him and his life 

but really he’s so giddy at the mere thought of your pretty lips all over him

won’t catch him admitting it though

when you first ask him he’ll just be like

🤨 no?? i’m not doing that?? 🤨

and when you say ‘oh okay i’ll just get jeongin to do it with me’ he’s straight into fight or fight mode and hot on ur tail

sitting all >:( on your bed as you go through your makeup looking for a good shade 

but he’s blushing so hard and fiddling with his fingers cause he always gets so shy when he’s about to kiss you

another to try to chase your lips when you’re leaving your lipstick mark over his face 

and you’re just like

‘SEUNGMIN HOW ARE WE MEANT TO DO THIS IF YOU’RE TRYING TO MAKEOUT WITH ME EVERY FIVE SECONDS???’

‘excuse me?? i think i deserve some compensation for agreeing to this dumb trend?’

punch him

right in his pretty face

pls

falls in love with the sight of your lipstick stains all over his face and can’t stop looking at himself in the mirror cause the shape of your lips is just so pretty

but as soon as you catch him smiling at himself in the reflection he’ll go straight from :) to >:( again

has to keep his little tsundere act going you know

surprisingly focused when you get to it 

only takes you around three tries before you get the perfect shot

(he just wanted you to hurry tf up so he could finally makeout with you)

comments go wild 

and he’s just like ‘see, told you the people loved me’

and it’s like ‘bRO YOU DIDN’T EVEN WANNA DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE???

𝐘𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐉𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍

so shy

plays it off though and tries to act cool but really he’s melting on this inside

looks into the mirror every time you leave a kiss on his face and is like 

:) you missed a spot :)

but really he just wants you to keep kissing him

before you know it his whole face is stained in your lipstick

takes a good hour before you can even start to think about filming

he’s just too pretty and distracting

especially when he’s looking at you all 🥺 with his lips puckered

gets so nervous once you whip out your phone to record and doesn’t know what tf to do

‘okay … what’s the plan again? does my hair look stupid?? do i look directly into the camera or-‘

gonna have to talk him through this one 😔✊

probably needs a full step by step tutorial to get though this stupid trend 

once he gets it down though he’s a natural

tilting his head all cutely after swiping away the lipstick smudge and smiling at you with so much love that it almost made you forget about the recording 

can’t help but kiss you anyway and it makes tiktok go wild <333

changbin probably sends it into the group chat not even a full minute after it’s posted and clowns tf out of you two

[sunkissed! ✩ // gojo satoru]

PAIRING: bf!gojo (jujutsu kaisen) x fem!reader

SUMMARY: in which your boyfriend banters with you to take a dip in a lake on a hot, summer day.

TYPE/GENRE: romance, fluff, established relationship, 'nd humor bcz gojo is a nuthead <33

CW/TW: slightly suggestive for the swimming, hugging and kisses part.

WORD COUNT: 1.8k

A/N: it's summer! and it's soo hot in my country, you can't even fathom! anyways, let's cool off with gojo ovr here hehehhe

"haaa! it's so hot!" gojo exclaimed, looking at his surroundings. "jeez, if i could just dump myself with some ice water right now.."

the sun was shining brightly through the leaves of the trees, and the air was warm and full of fresh smells. it's summer.

it felt so short for this season to arrive. for all you've remembered, it was just snowing. you reminisced from the snowy season where the weather was cool outside, certainly perfect for a date between gojo and you. the wind was starting to pick up and the ground was covered in snow and snowdrifts. then it was getting chilly, but gojo's hand that is holding yours closely to him keeps you warm as you both happily walk through the sidewalk, looking out at the snow-covered neighborhood.

now venturing on a park under the seething sun, you feel your sweat clinging on to your skin and clothes. you exasperatedly wiped some of them from your forehead.

thankfully, you were wearing a cool, white sundress that goes well together with the beige sandals you had on. and of course, for the ever 'strongest sorcerer in the whole world' and might he add 'the flashiest and handsome-est man you could ever lay your eyes upon', gojo's outfit matches with yours; a white button up shirt with the two buttons opened and some casual trousers to go along with it.

your boyfriend said, and you quote, "we should literally match up our outfits, y/n! like, literally, it's the trend nowadays!" as he shoved his bright ass phone screen on your face, displaying couples with those cute, sickening, matching outfits.

to say the least, you couldn't say no.

gojo, who was holding your hand close, led you to a bench. you sat beside him and looked at the sky together. it was silent.. enjoying each other's company while embracing the soft breeze. but, oh of course, it was always gojo who breaks the silence.

"hey," you hear him snickering beside you. even without having to look at his face, you can tell that he has that stupid, teasing smirk of his already plastered on his face. you ignored him.

he called your name again, but you can hear his laugh trying to escape his mouth. you looked at the other side, mindfully observing how the fallen leaves were floating on the lake.

gojo pouted, he tried again with a tooth-achingly sweet tone, "heyyyyy, y/n!!!"

no reaction from you.

he did it again.

but now he started to shake your body from side to side while doing so. tsk.

'well that seemed to tick you off,' gojo thought as he successfully got a reaction from you. 'yay!'

you annoyingly shook off his hands, "what." you flatly replied, "what is it now, satoru?"

gojo smiled, but it was not cute nor was it sweet. it was a smile for pestering, surely that was it. you squint your eyes at him and frowned, a bit of an irritated look on your face. 'what's behind that devilish smile of yours?' you wondered.

"my sweet y/n," gojo starts with a funny british accent, you visibly cringed but was amused nonetheless, "would you care to take a dip in the lake with me?”

he winks and smirks at you, clearly teasing the heck outta you, and you incredulously stared at him wide eyed, "are you out of yo-"

"for! for we are thou to pass away with thy dehydration and sweat, my sweet y/n! i simply cannot let you die in such a state!" he dramatically puts his hand on top of his forehead. "oh, it pains me! it pains me to see you scrounging in pain in this hot weath-"

you cut off his monologue as you flicked his forehead. “oww! what the heck?!” gojo whined, holding his forehead with his hand, still trying to process what just happened.

"hmm?" your eyes widened in shock, "i'm surprised you let your infinity void down today," you watch him as he continues on to rub his forehead, pouting as he does so. he looks at you back and he sees you grinning at him with a cocky, playful expression on your face. "what's gotten into you? i swear, sator-"

"my dahling!" gojo suddenly exclaimed, clinging on to you as tight as he can with an oomf! coming out of you. "it is my duty as your beloved to keep you happy and well!"

'please stop with the british accent omg,' you thought. you prayed. you hoped. you begged whoever hears you to stop this madness.

gojo rambled on, chuckling as he did, "we shall dive to the cool lake to quench our bodies' thirst for coolness and for its satisfaction!"

clearly seeing his character breaking, you laugh and grinned, feeling your heartbeat a little faster as gojo continues on with his speech. "what shall be your answer to my knightly duties, my darling?"

"oh, is that so?" you said, giving a slight flirtatious glance to him and playing along, "then i suppose we really should get going, right?" you slightly winked at him as a cheeky smile appeared on your face.

gojo was left flustered.

you didn't give him enough to answer as you quickly dragged him along the lake. you pull him along towards the shore, eager for a swim in the cool water. you hastily pulled your sundress over your head and placed it on the nearby boulders, leaving you in your undergarments with your safety shorts.

after a brief pause, you speak up again. "not much of a talker now, huh?" you said, with a smirk and an amused look on your face. gojo blushes at the comment, but stays silent still as he removes his button down shirt and places it beside yours.

finally, you both reach the lake, and you drag him in alongside you, with a big smdnw ppile. 'what a cutie,' you think to yourself as you watch him grin from ear to ear as the water touches his skin. 'he looks just like a child.'

the water is cool and silky smooth, like sliding your hand through a satin blanket. it’s refreshing and invigorating, as it washes over the both of you.

you feel as if your worries and problems were slowly washed down the stream, leaving you cleansed of your concerns. meanwhile, gojo feels relaxed and at peace; nothing matters anymore, save for being together and enjoying the moment you and him were sharing right now.

you feel gojo's presence swimming albeit walking towards you and you look up to him, feeling the water gently splashing to your torso. "you know that i love you, right?" he softly said as he hugs you close from behind, his chin resting on your shoulder.

you gleefully smiled sweetly to his affectionation, "always, satoru." you swayed the both of you, "i love you too."

gojo kisses your cheek and your shoulder, with a soft smile on his face. you blushed, but smiled back at him, melting at his gentle touches and kisses. you sighed delightfully, leaning more in to his touch.

"you're so pretty," gojo whispers softly. he kisses you one more time, this time on your neck. you became hot even more and felt the blush from your cheeks travel down into your ears. "my pretty baby."

"satoru…" you whispered as he turned you around, both of his hands placed on your hips. gojo gently lifts your face towards his and your hands find their way to cling around his neck. he pulls you closer with his hands, and leans in close before softly kissing you on the lips.

it was so cute and romantic how his lips moved gentle onto yours, you couldn't help but smile into it.

gojo then pulls back, breathing heavily and gazes at you lovingly, "wow,” he whispers, “that was.. amazing.”

“was it?” you replied, panting a little bit, with a playful grin on your face. gojo chuckles a little and wraps his arms around you, pulling you closer than ever to him. "this feels nice.. refreshing even."

he hums, giving you a light squeeze. "it does, let's stay like this for awhile, hm?" you nodded as you cuddled with him more as the sounds of the calming waves splatter through the rocks.

—

after a bit, you both decided to come back out of the water and get dried off. gojo took his button down shirt as well as your sundress and gave it to you.

as you were dressing up, you looked up and saw clouds moving across the sky with a gentle breeze blowing. "looks like summer has given us some mercy." gojo remarks, pointing to the moving clouds.

"yup! i thought so too," you say as you fix yourself. "the breeze feels nice, doesn't it?"

gojo raised both of his arms out towards the sky and flailed them around. "yeah!" he replies, with a soft smile of his own, "we've needed a break from that heat for a while for sure. i'm glad it's finally here." he lets out a soft sigh of relief.

you looked over and walked to him, feeling better than what you were before. gojo sees you and opens his arms for you, "i'm so glad i have you here with me," he adds as you embrace him, looking into your eyes with a fond smile.

you nuzzled into his neck. gojo softens and kisses your forehead. lips staying a tad minute, you could feel his smile. after a while, gojo pulls back and smiles fondly at you.

everything feels perfect here; the air, the atmosphere, the peace, the calm - it feels like you can stay in this moment forever. it feels like you can stay enclosed in his warm embrace forever. you sigh rapturously and nuzzle in close to him again, a satisfied smile on your face as you close your eyes, and try to just take in every bit of this moment with him.

gojo's happy that he gets to spend this sweet time with you, knowing that nothing will ever replace these moments. he will forever feel that warm, cozy-kind of feeling in his heart, a sense of peace and joy that goes beyond words whenever you're there with him.

his mind is at ease, his heart is filled with love, and he is simply grateful to have you in his life. gojo gives another soft smile to you, his eyes shining with warmth and fondness.

he feels truly at peace when he's with you, and can't imagine life without you in it. out here with you, he doesn't have to worry about the future missions and its plans, and the stress as well as the pressure of everyone's greatest expectations of him. you ease his worries away, just like that.

you're the light of his life, and he's so glad that you feel the same way about him.

farewell, says the hero.

PAIRING: Eddie Munson x GN!Reader

WORDS: 0.5k

SUMMARY: Eddie bids you goodbye with the company of his thoughts as you cradle him to a wakeless sleep. Told from Eddie’s point of view.

REMINDER(S): major character death. first person.

A/N: omg ok i’m sorry i’m just trying something really different !2!;₱₱4! ANW yay eddie

stranger things masterlist.

I’m sorry for a lot of things, really.

But mostly, I’m sorry for not being sorry earlier than now. I think I can see you a bit. Your stupid ass is running towards me and Dustin is in shambles. Which I get. I’m quite worth the tears, don’t you think? Bad time to goof around.

I like to think that as you fall down to your knees right beside Dustin, that we’re only roleplaying or something. You know, playing some other campaign game I refused to postpone for any longer. I’m no hero, [Y/N], but I’m glad I tried my best to keep you from being a martyr.

“Eddie,” you started, and I knew your throat was closing in on you the way it would like the time I let you take anything from my fridge only to get something you were allergic to. It happened one too many times, man. It was kind of on you. I want to tell you that, but they didn’t say that dying would keep you from talking to someone you love. “Eddie, you are not going to die. Stop that.”

Dustin inched away to let us have some . . . you know, our last little alone time. If you dig that. You flinched at my coughing. Fair enough, I’d have flinched too.

“How do I look?” I asked you. I want to look at you, really. The sky just looks less horrible now that the bats have left.

You laughed a bit, but I know better than to think you found it an ounce helpful. I’m sorry. For a lot of things. “Sh, save your strength, Eddie. We’ll get you out of here.” And you pulled me into your chest. Just why didn’t we do this more? You’re so comfortable. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind sleeping a hundred sleeps right here.

Yeah, that doesn’t make sense, I know. But neither does leaving you here. Or you seeing me leave myself. I’m so sorry. So, so, so, sorry.

“You — you didn’t answer the question,” I managed to say.

“You look heroic, brave. Like the knight in shining armor I’ve always dreamed about.”

I felt you wipe away the blood stains on my cheek with your shirt. I like it down here, actually. I can kind of hear your heart beating. It’s loud. Like, really loud. That’s good. Keep it beating.

“[Y/N], I lo—”

“I know, me too,” you choked out. “Me too.”

“Okay.”

There are a lot more things I want to say but naturally, when you’re dying, you can’t really just let out a long monologue. You can’t really plan ahead, either.

Sure, maybe if I were some rich boring old man on my deathbed, maybe I can. I like this better, though. Dustin’s here, you’re here.

I got to see you one last time. Which isn’t such a bad deal. I’m resting against you right now. Don’t feel so bad about letting me down and coming back home. You have some unfinished business.

Do some heroic deeds. Just don’t die, alright? Don’t be such a copycat. Just because I did, doesn’t mean you should, too. Trends are stupid. I love you.

Farewell, says the hero, your knight in a blood and sweat drenched shirt. The martyr bids you goodbye.

hello! I was wondering if you could do a tommyinnit x male reader (platonic or romantic, whatever you want).

The reader is this young entrepreneur who just happens to be Tommy's friend irl. He loves trolling chat and Tommy constantly by donating thousands of dollars (like 2k then 10k) during streams just to saying something stupid like "please come back to Nottingham, my mom says she misses you </3". Wilbur and Jack are always on his ass about who this guy is, but Tommy never answers them properly until one day reader just pulls up in Tommy's apartment during a big stream and you can take it from here honestly. Sorry if the request is a bit messy and specific.

ENTREPRENEUR READER!! ENTREPRENEUR READER!!

Pairing: CC!Tommy x Male!Reader

Entrepreneur Enigma

As the donation pops on the screen of your laptop, you can't help but laugh. Although there are a million other things you should be doing (a budgeting meeting, for example...), you just can't pass up the chance to mess with Tommy.

"Thank you- oh fuck. Fuck off, get out of here." Tommy says, shaking his head at your ridiculous donation.

A thousand pounds just to say hi, and that's the response you get? Typing in another message, you send another donation. He really should cap his donations.

The thing about you and Tommy was that you were both multi-millionaires. Although he stayed stingy with his money, you relaxed a little. Threw some around. There was also the fact his income came from streaming, an entirely unreliable business. At least being the youngest entrepreneur in the UK was relatively stable.

“I will buy many many drugs with your money.” Tommy warns. “So many drugs. And I won’t come to Nottingham to visit you and your mom.”

Before you get the chance to send more money with yet another message, a notification pops up on your screen. The one meeting you can’t actually miss.

When you return to the stream an hour later, a lot has changed. Tommy’s on a new Minecraft world with both Wilbur and Jack. Smiling to yourself, you send more money.

“And I- oh fuck off, I thought you left!” Tommy exclaims, cutting himself off.

“What?” Jack asks, laughing.

“Oh! Oh! It’s rich friend!” Wilbur yells.

“He says hi.” Tommy relays your message.

“Hi rich friend!” Jack screams into the mic. “When do we get to meet you!?”

“Never.” Is Tommy’s immediate answer.

“Stop hoarding him, man.” Wilbur chastises. “Let us have our fun.”

“Don’t worry, I can be all of your sugar daddie- WHAT THE FUCK?! Wait, is that 10,000?!”

“Tommy’s rich friend, please be my sugar daddy.” Wilbur says.

“Wait, how old is he? I feel like this might be important information.” Jack quickly interrupts the bit.

“My age.” Tommy answers.

“…on second thought-“

“BAHAHA-!”

Even you laugh although nobody else hears it.

For ages now Tommy’s friends had been trying to figure out who you were, trying to meet you. Tommy had dodged the questions until he could ask you what to do, but by then it was too late. You had quickly became famous for being Tommy’s mysterious rich friend. An enigma, one could even say.

“Seriously, I want to meet him.” Wilbur finally says.

“No. Fuck off and die.”

“What about me? I want to meet him too.” Jack protests.

“I told you no last time too!”

“We’ll catch you off guard one day, and you’ll say yes.”

“I’m always on guard. I’m like a fucking shark. Sleeping with my eyes open and shit.”

“Sharks don’t sleep with their eyes open.” Jack laughs. “Wait, do they?”

“Yes, Jack.” Wilbur sighs.

Maybe one day you’d show up to Tommy’s flat just to fuck with people. Break the internet a little. You’ve seen theories that you’re the mysterious rich friend, but they weren’t anything serious so the confirmation would send fans wild. Instant number one trending on Twitter.

“WHAT IS UP BOYS?! WELCOME BACK TO THE STREAM!”

You’re running late. So late that Tommy had to start his stream without you, leaving his door unlocked and trusting nobody would break in.

Time-management skills were definitely something you needed to work on. In your defense though, someone else was meant to schedule your day.

Letting yourself into his flat, you lock the door behind you. Now that you’re actually inside he’s so much louder than before. It’s quite literally a miracle his landlord hasn’t kicked him out yet.

“This is a big stream boys, we have a very special guest joining us at some point. He’s actually late. Late! For me! Tommyinnit! Doesn’t he know who I am?!”

"Regretfully, I do know who you are." You speak, slipping into his streaming room.

He screams, throwing his headset off as he spins around. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"Hi Tom. What's up?"

"DON'T WHAT'S UP ME! WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING QUIET?!"

"I am simply built different." With a shrug you take a few more steps deeper into his room. "Hello Tommy's stream."

"OH! Right! This is my very very wealthy friend!"

"Look, they already know me." You lean on his desk, peering closer at the stream chat that was spamming your name. "Jesus Christ, this moves so fucking fast."

"Why the fuck are you so dressed up? Did you get all dressed up for me? Little ol' me?" Tommy jokes, nudging you away from his desk so he can see chat.

"You wish. Meeting ran late, didn't have time to change." You take off your suit coat, throwing it at his face. He catches it and throws it randomly on the ground.

"Oh, Wil's calling me! Hello Wil! What seems to be the problem?"

Wilbur's voice booms out from Tommy's computer at a painfully loud volume. Somehow Tommy doesn't seem to mind, leaning forward to play up his bit.

"THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOUR FRIEND WAS THE FUCKING RICHEST GUY IN THE UK RIGHT NOW!"

"Not quite the richest, but thanks." You say.

"Aw shut up, we get it, you're rich." Tommy rolls his eyes. "Well so am I!"

"Tommy, I'm no longer talking to you." Wilbur announces.

"I'm going to hang up on you."

"Don't!" You protest. "I want to talk to Wilbur!"

"Thank you. Now, tell me how the fuck you ended up friends with Tommy fucking Innit."

"He saw how epic I was and decided he would try and befriend me." Tommy answers.

"From what I remember you were getting ruthlessly bullied, but sure, okay-"

"YOU ARE A DIRTY LIAR!"

"Chat, Wilbur, why would I ever lie to you?"

"Don't trust him. He has nothing on me. Nothing." Tommy argues, glancing at you. "Don't let his weirdly sexy business attire fool you-"

"TOM!"

"What? What?! Do I lie?! Do I?!"

"This was the worst fucking idea ever." You groan, turning around and walking a few paces like you're going to leave.

"Wait, come back, I need your clout! I mean, I love you so incredibly much you are my favorite rich friend."

"Oh, with that convincing argument."

"Stay for me, I'm so much better than Tommy." Wilbur jumps in. "Besides, you still have to meet Jack and Georgenotfound. Ever heard of Georgenotfound?"

"Of course I've heard of Georgenotfound. I'll stay for him any day of the week." You immediately turn around and head back to Tommy's stream.

"Let me call him for you, let me-"

"HEY!" Tommy yells. "THIS IS MY STREAM! I'LL BE THE ONE CALLING GOGY!"

"He won't answer you." Wilbur dismisses.

"Oh you motherfucker-"

Needless to say, you're both trending on Twitter for a long time after that.

thanks for the tags @raapija and @oxygenpdf

Who is your favorite driver?

my pastry boy, my 🧍 boy, my 👍 boy, my polite cat smile boy, my f1 race winner boy.

Do you have other favorite drivers?

oh, too many to name but if you really want to know how i feel about a specfic driver feel free to ask and i'll probably write a whole essay on them 😅

Who is your least favorite driver?

current drivers?? ........................... danny ric. please don't come for me danny fans 🙏 i just feel like he's doubling and tripling down on making stupid comments instead of just saying 'i don't feel knowledgeable enough to speak on this' or 'i don't want to comment until we see what the proper authorities have to say about it'. former drivers?? nikita mazepin. that man should not have been anywhere near an f1 track.

Do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well?

definitely primarily drivers, that tends to be the case with me and most athletes really. (the biggest exception being t1 though i don't know how many of you are familiar enough with league to know who they are 😅).

If you like teams what teams do you pull for?

i'd say aston martin, mercedes and usually mclaren but i'm not to happy with mclaren at the moment so 🤷‍♀️

How long have you been into F1?

oh, *check's watch* for about 8 weeks 😅

What got you into F1?

just checking out the f1 tag when it was trending and getting interested in these weird ass sport blorbos who drive around 350+ kph death machines.

Do you enjoy fic/rpf?

i will die on the hill that sports rpf fics are some of the best writing i have ever read. i first got into it through hockey rpf and i actually needed to lie down to recover from some of those fics.

How do you view new fans?

...............well considering i'm the textbook definition of a new fan i think we're an excellent addition actually 😊

If you could take over as team principal for any team, who would it be and why?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, well if took over aston martin i'd get make sure they had some better social media moderation 💀 and if i took over mercedes i'd fix that fucking car 'cause just......... and i would love to retroactively take over mclaren 'cause let me tell you that fucking orange man would be nowhere near the mclaren garage if i was in charge 🙃

Are your friends and family into F1?

nope, but i don't let that stop me from terrorising everyone around me about it. i'm pretty sure my mom will be an f1 expert by the end of the season.

Are you open to talking to other fans/making friends?

absolutely!! i am a BIG introvert and get very anxious about talking to/messaging new people but i am trying to push past that 😅😊

I was so excited to play both SoCN and HS2. I was doing the math with my cups like "ok both had cliffhangers. So SCN has two episodes, I can play this and wait for the cup to fill and then play HS2. Lets fucking goooo". I happily play: my queen Evthys goes through shit, awesome; plot moves forward, awesome; I see my boy Amen, awesome. Now we are ready for baby Hunger aaaand... I'm reading a remake.

It was a deja vu, my ex husband Lucifer already did this shit. Also, the whole bit with the president was so fucking stupid, I'm sorry, I really hated that. But finally, Hunger is here, my boy, my beau-... Aaaaaand it's over.

At least Llith was there, such a fascinating character. And this idea that the MC might be dying... Delicious, my compliments to the chef, I just hope the author does justice to this very interesting plot point and doesn't rush it like she did with previous stories... Hahahahaha... FUCK.

The rest is just disappointing. I thought season 2 was pretty good and I was so excited. Then I saw there are only 9 episodes this season. And the author already rushed the finales of HS and Arcanum. So... Yeah. Good shit. At least let us take Hunger's virginity next update, like, come on. I'm starving.

this is why i hate math BECAUSE LOOK HOW IT FAILED YOU HERE HELSHDKSK

before i reply to your (chefs kiss) commentary i just gotta say i love how we have the same taste and we both went for lucifer then hunger and are also into amen (even tho i think i'll go for livius as endgame ngl) 😌 i love this for us

but yeah the plot line about vicky dying (plus whatever hunger will have in store for her now) is the only thing keeping me invested because that's the only thing that's actually interesting lol everything else feels like necessary but lowkey fillery padding like oh what makes sense next? the president thing let's go with it when it's like. i think she should have just gone with what she found fun to write not necessarily what makes sense to happen next because that's the only reasonable explanation for how dry and half-baked the writing was which is far from what i usually expect from alice

no matter how she swung it things would have still been unrealistic because really? you think just chatting with presidents and showing off your wings and power will magically stop all wars and make the world meet the mother's expectations? girl be fr she would have been better off giving us an op ass battle where most people die and the mother proves that she really is the universe

i could swear that alice always has this trend where she loses muse in the final run of any project and that's what leads to things being rushed and half baked and i love her writing and support her anyway but :/ it's Extra obvious in hs2

[charmixpower]

Okokokok so I wanna talk about the s2 Tecna/Timmy arc bc brain worms, this arc was really interesting and fun and slightly wasted in some places so I get to ramble about it

Tenca thinks the thing she values most is logic but this is blatantly false, and a fun little character thing because she actually doesn't know what the real thing is any substituting it for what people expect her to value most, told her she should value most, or the cultural consensus of what Zenith values most

There's a lot of examples of her ignoring logic for something else and they show a trend

It's stated that Flora and Musa have the best grades, and that Tecna is the smartest out of all of the Winx. This obviously means that Tecna probably skips class, doesn't do homework, half-asses assignments and more because her grades don't reflect how much she knows. It's implied that she spends this time making new technology

When the Trix have Stella captured in Season 1, Tecna is the most firm in refusing to give the Trix the ring. She was resolute in fighting the Trix, despite all previous encounters pointing to the fact that this was a beyond stupid idea. On top of that episode was to show off Bloom's leadership ablities, because she was able to think about this calmly without being able to rely on Tecna to give the facts

You'd think Tecna would be the slowest to act, waiting on the full information of the situation, but she isn't. In season 1 she shoulder bashed doors so she never had to slow down, girl isn't deliberate. Tecna prefers to work and quickly and efficiently as she can to mitigate future harm rather than understand the whole situation. As seen with the Avalon's Secret episode

Tecna realized that the Omega portal could be closed in a perticualr way, but instead of telling anyone, she decided the fastest way to deal with it was to do it herself. A additional note is that when getting their Enchantix's though sacrifice, Tecna is the one I'd argue had the least amount of emotional reason to act rashly. Her sacrifice is the only one that absolutely couldn't be interpreted as a panicked split second decision. Everyone else made they're sacrifice in emotional turmoil, Tecna walked to hers

From this you can see that Tecna clearly cares more about something else more than the logical decision. When someone is in danger, she usually tries to save them quickly. Prioritizing getting them to safety quickly over the best possible course of action. She HATES conceding anything to the enemy, enough that it makes her too angry to think straight. Tecna is ready and willing to give up her life, without any adrenaline making her act more rashly than she nomrally would, to keep people safe

It's not surprising that she'd be upset at Timmy. When given a similar situation, Tecna would pick die before she'd let the Trix walk away. It's clear that she doesn't know or care that it's stupid, she's too tied up in her feelings

And I think that's the thing that actually made Tecna mad. Tecna at this point was just staring to open up, so she really wouldn't have a way to express how she actually felt. I think she was mad because she thought Timmy wasn't committed to their shared principals and would roll over when someone more powerful than him entered the ring instead of still trying despite the odds

This is how Tecna functions, and it's fairly unsurprising that she'd be upset that the person she's in love with doesn't share this commitment to what she sees as their shared principals

Now, I fucking hate how Timmy's writing was handled and this arc. I hate it so fucking much. It's god awful. Just thinking about it makes me wanna grind my teeth

The consequence of Tecna seeing Timmy as uncommitted is that she also sees him as unreliable. So the show tackles this part of her upset. Which is dumb. Timmy's sudden burst of confidence thats completely contrary to how he acts in the ENTIRE rest of the show will get on my fucking nerves for the rest of my life. They just changed his personality for a few episodes so Tecna could realize she was wrong for thinking he was unreliable

The show takes the stance that Tecna was being unreasonable when she got mad at Timmy, and they immediately undercut this by having Timmy prove himself to her. Why? The show acknowledges the fact she's holding everyone around her to the same exact standards she holds herself to is irrational. So why vindicate her original thought by pulling him ooc and making him prove himself? Leave him alone and have her realize that she's expecting too much on her own, or have Timmy show bravery in a way he'd normally would and when Tecna gets snippy have him explain why her expectations are stupid

Timmy has stood up for himself before, like in s1 when he yells at Riven and Brandon to shut up. Her expecting him to attack the lady that nearly murdered one of your squad members who's the best at combat, is worth standing up for himself. Why they did not take this path I'll never understand

This would also make Tecna's arc so much better. Batting the writers hands away from Timmy. Leave him alone, who are you making him prove himself. He doesn't owe Tecna shit rn

In this argument he'd make her realize that her expectations are way too much, and that it's better to live another day than die and still not win. Tecna would argue back, being unable to let go of her world view, revealing that she holds herself to the same expectations. Expecting this fact to win the argument. Then she'd be hit with something along the line that she shouldn't do that to herself, or something to that effect. Which she can't comprehend. Giving her a complete existential crisis, and then Timmy fucks off bc he hates arguments and is stressed tf out

Looking at all of this makes me think that Tecna was raised with a very strong "cog in the machine" mentality, that stifled both her ability to express her emotions and gave her a lack of self preservation. Which could tie into her arc of learning to express herself, bc then it could be both emotionally and her individuality...

I think I've lost the plot a little bit, but I love Tecna's character arc and I think Timmy shouldn't of had to prove himself to her in s2 bc that's dumb lol

Anyways I like this arc a lot. Tecna just being wrong because she's so caught up in her own feelings is such a good character defining moment. I love her, she's so much fun

I had been pretty sheepish all day just trying to keep my head down maybe they forgot about me, Once the bell rang luckily I had model UN so I scampered there before I could get in trouble and sat in my UK-labeled chair. 

"Okay, good afternoon everyone now before we move onto the current affairs of the day does anyone have any new business they would like to bring up?" Alby asks 

Several hands raised 

"Uhh okay, Yes Brazil?" 

"Viva a revolcao!" she yelled and I glanced over 

Brenda Young, the school activist and art freak never seen without paint on her hands and a soap box about something, I never paid her that much attention honestly just sort of saw her as a positive Karen I suppose, then again last year she did force the cafeteria to start at least stocking a vegan and vegetarian option for people thought four weeks of violent protests. they still haven't fixed the window and it still kinda of smells like chum around it.

she stood from her chair her hair cut short with a bright blue streak, her black clothes of net and leather a hand-drawn tattoo on her arm made of Sharpie, 

"Brenda, I've told you before if you're not going to do this properly you can leave" Alby sighed "You can't call a revolution,"

"Fine" she pouted sitting back down 

"Anyone else, Yes Eygpt" He says and she gets up from her seat 

Harriet Toll, a fashion student and a sketchbook kept under lock and key, always wore the most up-to-date fashion trends and made the most of it as well. She didn't exactly like being here but the textiles room is closed on Thursdays and she doesn't get picked up till six so it's something to do other than sitting outside on the step. 

"I know that this model UN is small and we are missing various countries but I cannot help but feel offended at the selection of countries" She explained 

"I second that!" Brenda yelled, "The white boys are the rich countries and the rest of us are the countries with populations with the majority people of colour!" 

"It feels -" Harriet began

"Racists!" 

"Wouldn't you agree South Africa?" 

"Humm? What's going on?" Fry yawns as he had basically been asleep since we got in here 

"Calm down, calm down everyone, The assigned counties are assigned randomly," Alby says

"Randomly?" Harriet glared

"Completely randomly so sit down" 

"Fine" she sighed sitting down again 

"Anyone else" he sighed "Yes Denmark" 

"What's up with the UK?" Zart asked as he clearly noticed me and the fact I'd barely spoken to him or anyone else today 

"Is brexit making you sad?" Brenda laughed 

"No" I sighed "I'm just a bit out that's all"

"Alright, now on to new business" 

I left after the model UN was over starting to make my way out to go home when I saw three of those blue and white letterman jackets

"I don't like waiting, Newton" Ben yelled

"Fuck!" I complained trying to bolt as quickly as I could away but they caught up fast and threw me against the wall punching and kicking me

"The hell do you think you're doing nerd! You dare actually talk to a cheerleader? It would be funny if you weren't so fucking stupid!" He laughs "You are not to talk to her again, don't even look at her, not even think about her again, or I will cut your balls off and mount them on the flag pole, we clear Newton?"

"I can talk to whoever I damn want!"

"You wanna die! Let me explain something to you y/n is a cheerleader with a fat ass and tits that porn stars pay for, you are a scholastic decathlon, model UN, chess team little freakazoid. Now you will not do it again, are we clear!"

"Hey!" A voice came I could barely see as I likely had a black eye but I saw

Gally Anderson, cohead of the debate team, used to be the muscles of metal shop and woodshop until the school district cut the funding those rooms were gutted of equipment and turned into extra maths rooms and now were often stuck in the back of the art club making small wooden building sculptures while people like Brenda engaged in utter anarchy we used to be friendly but you drift Apart and all

"What's it to you? Art boy?"

"Leave the fuck alone before I knock those teeth down your throat, and we all know daddy paid to get them all nice and touched up for ya which you haven't paid off yet so unless you wanna root around your shit for those pearly fucks. Walk away"

"I'm -"

"I know what you're doing, everyone heard but she aint your girlfreind as I recall she Dumped your ass so fuck off home"

"Come on guys" he says heading to his car "I'm watching you newton!"

"You okay?" Gally asks helping me up and grabbing my stuff for me

"I think I'm dieing"

"Yeah he socked you pretty hard, we'll grab you some ice, come on I'll drop you home"

"Thanks man"

"No problem" he says taking me to his car and we stopped and he got me some ice for my eye and a bandage for my bleeding arm "I know what you did"

"Everyone knows apparently"

"I don't blame you, cheer girls are gorgeous, don't sweat it he'd have kicked your ass for being rude if you hadn't spoken to her"

"I don't get what his problem is"

"Dudes been butt hurt since she dumped him, still protective of her, he thinks because they used to date he owns her. Don't let it get to you" he says pulling up outside my house "You gonna be okay?"

"I think so, thanks gally"

"Don't worry about it, see you around"

"See you around" I nodded before climbing out and heading inside immediately to be met by

"Oh my god my baby!" She screams

"Mum I'm alright -"

"What the hell happened!" My dad yelled

"It's a long story"

Understandably my mother went crazy and I'd been sitting in the kitchen for over an hour while my parents paced and panicked, having replaced my ice and bandaged my cuts and bruises. when they finally let me go back to my room, so I headed to my bed Luckily I didn't have any homework or anything so I just crawled into bed and tried my best to get some god damn sleep. 

When my alarm went off I forced myself up and quickly went for a shower Sonya was about to go in but she stopped short as she saw me

"What the hell happened to you?" she asks 

"Don't. Say. anything." I warned her to go in the bathroom and lock the door tightly I put my music on as loud as possible ran myself a bath and climbed in trying to soothe my aching body, I took as long as I wanted in the bath, once done I went back to my room and got dressed for the day shoving my stuff in my bag even if It stung to add my bag to my shoulder and I headed downstairs to my mum and dad "Morning"

"Morning Kiddo, sit down and take your time with breakfast I'm taking you in today," he says 

"You are?"

"Yeah, I want a word with the headmaster" 

"Uhh okay" I nodded sitting down and my mum gave me as many strawberries, waffles, and french toast as I wanted "I'm happy to take the bus Dad"

"No, no. I want a word with him. phone doesn't do the same as turning up so If I'm going then I might as well take you" 

"Why do I have to take the bus and he gets a ride to school!" Sonya yelled as she arrived downstairs 

"And where were you while your brother was being beaten up like a 1930s gangster?'

"...at the movies with my friends"

"So you'll be taking the bus"

"Uuughhhh!' She yelled marching off outside

"You can take her too it's okay," I said

"You really should -" my mother began

"No, for once I'm not Bowing to that girl," he says finishing his breakfast he took my bag and we headed out to the car We started up and headed through the rainy streets he stopped for coffee of course and he even got me a few hash browns.

"So? Lead the way," he says I nodded and got out of the car he still carried my stuff for me as we headed into the still pretty empty school as the busses hadn't arrived yet I led him through the corridors to the headmaster's office but she wasn't here yet so we just sat outside. "You wanna tell me what this was all over so I have a little backing info?"

"I figured Sonya told you"

"She did but you know how your sister exaggerates."

"I was working, and the cheerleaders came in"

"All of them?'

"I think so, looked like all of them I don't exactly count them everywhere they go, Dad"

"Hu...I did"

"Did you?"

'When I was your age yeah, so?"

"So one of the cheer girls needed a hand with the slushie machine the cherry one always gets stuck so I pulled it for her we talked just casually while I did and told her I'd cover it. But clearly, people found out. I've been getting the cold shoulder from people all day because of it"

"Why? You did something nice for her?"

"Yeah, but she's a cheerleader. I'm...me. I can't talk to them it's like an unspoken law. So one of the track guys beat me up to teach me a lesson"

"And?"

"and lesson learned. I won't talk to her again" I sighed

"What's her name?"

"What does it matter They'll kill me if I ever even look at her again"

"Well tell me anyway"

"...y/n"

"Y/n. Cheerleader?"

"Yeah"

"Pretty?"

"Gorgeous,"

"Blonde?"

"Y/h/c usually with a little blue bow"

"Athletic?"

"As much as any cheerleader but... she's 'bottom of the pyramid"

"Oh, so she's got the hips and the thighs?' He suggested making a gesture with his hands and I nodded "I take it you have her the free slushie because you like her"

"Kinda, but what does it matter Ben will kill me if I look at her again. Not like I had a cat in hell's chance anyway'

"Why not? You're the most handsome boy in the world your mother tells you all the time"

"Dad. I'm me. I'm a nerd. I am as low as you can get on the totem pole except maybe Chuckie, the cheer team is at the top of the totem pole. I was being stupid"

"Hey, don't think like that, look Isaac. This stuff isn't some totem pole carved in stone or wood forever to be that way. It's more like... an elevator."

"An elevator?"

"Yes, an elevator. You might not see it but people are constantly moving up and down the levels Yes those at the top often don't think about the bottom and the bottom struggle to even imagine ever being at the top but no one stays in those places forever and believe me when you get out of here none of it would have mattered and you'll realize there never was an elevator you were all just living on the same floor convinced you had it better or worse when everyone else" he says "you know I was a pretty big nerd when I was your age Didn't stop me getting a firecracker like your mother. I was on the chess team, algebra club, top science student two years running and your mother was a flag girl"

"No offence but stuff is different nowadays it's not like them You were my age things have changed"

"...how old do you think I am?" He glared

"Well, I'm seventeen?"

"Yeah and I'm thirty-four," he says "AHH Miss Ava Paige just the woman I've been needing to see"

"Mr Newton of course step into my office," she says

I was kind of taken aback by what he said for a moment before I followed them into the office.

[jacenwinditup]

spare blog bc yall are way too much n this has gotten really out of hand over a "joke ship" cuz if that was all the one sentence post shouldnt bother you. it didnt mention anyone bc it was a very literal comment on a very real fandom trend. maybe cuz im autistic too but literally not angry or different from commenting on the daily blogs or damn whats a splip. all that person said was "why are we shipping shin with his schizophrenia demon" n added the tags "it's fucking weird"

but since its makin people feel attacked, lets take this apart. itss a general fandom statement ("why are we doing this") and partially a joke since ur obviously not meant to take "schizophrenia demon" seriously, n i assume since one of this user's friends(?? i forgot to ask) spam rb it, they thought it was clear. even tho it was a neutral exasperated statement, the tags added the "reason" why the post was made (which a lot of autistics do cuz our emotions have to be justified by neurotypicals esp when we meltdown or have discomforts with specific sounds) was assumably bc personal squick

if u look in the notes there are 2 additions that are concisely saying "shadow sou is manifestation of trauma" (true for schizophrenia and system hc) and "it's incredibly inappropriate to treat his hallucination like this even if ur joking" also true, n im gonna go one step further bc i actually messaged this person instead of doing the hypocritical thing (u say this person "attacks a joke" n tags it, meanwhile u attack this person in the main tags meaning it takes up everythingggg. over one sentence!)

this user clarified in priv dms "i honestly don't mind *any* joke ships on their own, it's just. concerning as an overall fandom trend of only ever treating hallucinations lightly or inaccurately - though i didn’t realize people would latch onto this, otherwise i would've clarified the actual issue sooner" n went on to point at specific times people shared unintentionally triggering content like they're jokes for yttd n other fandoms, n pointed out the issue that if you critique in detail that people usually try to trigger you assuming ur also psychotic (which can be upsetting even if ur not), and said that apprehension was why they didnt make any long post on it and only replied to friends' comments on the post

n look, they didn't want me to say this, but im not gonna be polite i think some of u need a wake up call bc guess what!! they already got triggering unreality comments + a sinophobic comment bc some full ass adults felt personally attacked n went overboard by one stupid post, generating enough attention for harassment and misgendering. ur all acting way too fucking immature and some teenager pointing out "shipping some guy with his hallucination is a weird joke" Is NOT the hill id die on.. n to be clear i also thought the post was a little weird at first, bc it was talking abt a joke but the phrasing was formal (tho hindsight 20/20 thats also usually a nd thing), but you either move on with ur day or u think it like "huh maybe it is weird" and then move on with ur day. but then its blown completely out of proportion like yall are obsessed. if this user's concerns are a nonissue (which the ship thing meh probably not, but treatment of hallucinations is a issue) then ur absolutely getting mean + antsy over nothing. 1 post compared to countless posts you use to vague this person and basically lie abt what they actually said w/o thinking or trying to contact them first. instead ur doing the same thing ur criticizing urself fillin up tags attacking 1 person like damn if u think it was an issue just block n move on jfc

I am telling you the minion pfp cult is the reason the fandom had a down fall again

When rise of Gru was extremely popular back in July-august first when something is so popular they turn it in to a cult and not just any cult a pfp cult

And pfp cults are aways toxic no matter what. The minion pfp cult ruined the whole series and movie bc of how toxic it came how and because of that the fandom died. I honestly wish that cult never existed and it had no purpose, it ruined the whole trend and made it some toxic ass cult. Everyone remembers the scream cult right? They were extremely problematic and all over a pfp? Says a lot abt TikTok so why do it with minion? It ruined everything and I honestly miss when it was trending. I wish that stupid ass cult never even existed bc now it doesn’t even look like despicable me has any fandom due to how dead it is! I want the fandom to come back strong with out a pfp cult or anything dumb and toxic. We have 2 years before the next movie comes out. So let’s use this time to bring the fandom back. We can’t rely on a movie to come out every time the fandom dies. And I know fandoms do die at one point but the despicable me fandom was only popular in general because of the minions the minions blinded every single plot in each movie that’s the only reason the fandom was popular. Minions, I want this fandom to come back with out relying on a movie or minions to help us we have tons of good characters like Lucy,Dru,Gru,Margo,Edith,Agnes,brad,El macho Etc so why blind all these characters for minions? Don’t get me wrong I love the minions. There so cute! But there overrated. i think we can bring this fandom back with out a movie cult or minions. But I can’t do it alone I need others to help me bring the popularity back. I hate to see such a great fandom die. I know this fandom still has dirty people but not as much as Fnaf? Or undertale? Or sally face? Etc let’s make this happen!!

Video Game Infodump... 3!! (Disgaea 4, Chapter One Pt. 1)

[LONG post, most of it under a 'readmore' link, RIP to y'all but it's real autism hours again]

There's this tactical rpg called Disgaea 4 that I've had my eye on for a while now, so when it ended up being 60% off on Steam for Black Friday, I snatched it up. Not five minutes into it I found that it 100% would've been worth the full price, I love it So Much. It's like,, Fire Emblem but silly

The protagonist is so, so beautifully stupid. He's a vampire, and he's introduced w a monologue abt drinking blood- or at least, that's what it seems like, until he reveals that his favorite thing in the world... is sardines.

This man has four (4) traits: being pretty, gullible, sardine-obsessed, and so dead set on keeping promises that it's absolutely absurd.

Oh and he's the instructor for the prisoners of Hades, known as 'prinnies'. They're penguins that apparently are human souls who, to carry out punishment for the crimes they committed while they were alive, have been tucked into the world's saddest fursuits (blubbersuits?)

Also, the voice acting in this?? Is SO fucking good. I'm usually not a huge fan of English dubs, but this one is fantastic. Valvatorez' VA's passion shines through in every line, and it really brings this character to life, it's so much fun to hear.

[The VA is Troy Baker, who is known for his work in anime and video games, including the second incarnation of Greed in FMA and Excalibur in Soul Eater!! I went to his wiki and there's a section on NFT drama though, sad clown honk]

The story really kicks off when Val's beloved class of prinnies are 'kidnapped' before he can fulfill his promise of one (1) sardine, and he ends up rebelling against authority just to get those penguins their fish. They're set to be exterminated to deal with overpopulation- a big huge Yikes- but he doesn't care about that. The prinnies can be killed AFTER he gives them each a sardine. They can't die before he's followed through on his word!

To go with goofy characters, there are goofy items: for healing, I've got a fuckton of sardines, the beginner armor is a garbage bag, and every item description is rather silly (pot lid shield that simply says 'it can protect your body but not your pride' my beloved)

There are also goofy names. I totally forgot to take screenshots, but my fighter's name is 'National Holiday', and at one point I fought a prinny named 'Contact Lenses'

Back to discussing the story bc I'm obsessed with it, the first antagonist, kidnapper of the prinnies, is the warden of Hades. He's sort of opposite of Val, and I don't think I'm ever going to get over his design- no shirt, the silliest coat ever, and his EYEBROWS... reminds me a little of Ralphie (ask me abt Ralphie ask me ask me I dare you)

Even after we kick his ass, he refuses to let Val feed the prinnies, boooo

The government of the Netherworld is called the 'corrupternment', which is. yeah.

And Val's loyal servant also does not wear a shirt. Low-rise jeans that expose a man's hip bones are The Trend in the Netherworld, I guess.

This artstyle makes it look like all these guys got grabbed by some giant hand and were squashed around the middle... it's so funky

The quest for the prinnies continues, with Fenrich pulling some political bullshit, but I am. nearly at the image limit and it probably isn't reasonable to just post most of the entire first chapter of this game, huh.

Anyway TLDR; this is my favorite game now, and I adore Val so so much, he's Pathetic <3

Ok forgive me for the essay, but I'm thinking about the story of the Chief's wife in Eclipse (and how Bella mimics it.) And like...ok. I would normally dismiss fatally stabbing yourself to draw blood (vs just pricking your finger) as a stupid, edgy detail added for drama yknow?

But knowing Stephanie's...biases...it just feels really ugly. Like the implication that a grown ass woman in a leadership position was incapable of acting under pressure without killing herself?...While a hormone-ravaged, mentally unstable teenager who kept trying to die (badly) just months prior handled the situation better?

Like..why not have the Chief's wife also just cut her arm? It would be easier (it takes a lot of force to stab thru your own abs,) quicker, and the same goal would be accomplished. It made no sense for Stephanie to fridge this woman and it's honestly smelling a little Mormon to me.

Hello Anon!

Apologies for it taking me so long to get to this! Alright, let's dive in...

First, I completely agree with your assessment. If it was any other form of media I would right that off as the author trying to be edgy and add some depth to the story. But, as you said, knowing this authors biases it's likely safe to assume that this was added into the story with some level of prejudice.

We can see a similar trend taking place with the other Indigenous characters in the Twilight Saga. There is unnecessary amounts of trauma and hardship for these characters, and the white characters seem to have it much easier despite also being supernatural.

The vampires (white) don't experience the trauma of having to turn into a ginormous wolf and fight to protect your community. The vampires may not always enjoy their current situation (e.g., Rosalie disliking immortality and it's implications on her inabiliy to have biological children), but they do not have to continue to re-experience the trauma of it every single day.

The Wolves (Indigenous) are immediately isolated from friends and family- depending on whether those individuals are aware of the Wolves or not. They then undergo massive bodily changes that have them look nearly a decade older than they actually are. We have fifteen year olds who look twenty five, you cannot tell me this isn't at least a little bit prejudiced.

The physical aging in such a short period of time allows for Meyer to villanize these youths without feeling as though she is villanizing a bunch of children. "These Wolves are volatile and dangerous! They all look 25 so I can totally place this judgement on them, it's not like they are teenagers with hormone changes and a completely unstable social and family life due to their newly supernatural traits!" See what I'm saying?

I could go on about this for ages, just comparing and contrasting how the Indigenous characters are constantly receiving all of the hardships that the white characters don't have to experience.

So, yes, I fully agree with you and your views on the Third Wife story. I believe that this is just another example of Meyer placing trauma and harm on Indigenous characters. If this story instead had a white individual having to make this decision, I doubt it would have had the same outcome. AND, when Bella (white, main character, basically just Meyer's characterization of herself) goes to act in a similar way to the Third Wife she acts in a way that minimizes the harm to herself.

She gets to act selflessly and still live to tell the tale.

All in all, thank you for sharing your thoughts! Feel free to jump into my inbox anytime!!

Jul Tambor’s single-minded goal of killing Darth Vader seems to be another of his many spoiled failgrandson delusions, but upon closer inspection, Jul has gotten himself into a situation where trying to kill Darth Vader is legitimately the best way forward. Jul has inherited Grandpa Wat’s ability to assess a situation and choose the most deranged self-destructive course of action, and it’s fascinating to see him try to apply this utterly atrocious ability to good.

From the perspective of the rest of the galaxy, Jul Tambor has spent the last 6 years yelling at gangsters: “I’m Jul Tambor! Grandson of Wat Tambor! I’m RICH AS FUCK and INCREDIBLY STUPID. My obsession with buying giant piles of garbage is frankly concerning! Find me in the Skako system.”

I think most people’s reaction to that would be along the lines of, “How far the Tambors have fallen. Jul has gone insane. I hope roleplaying commerce makes him feel better. At least I have someone I can unload tons of useless trash on.”

Those too smart for their own good would think, “Wait. He’s a Tambor. He’s Techno Union. There’s got to be something he knows that we don’t. I’ll buy the same garbage he buys in case it’s secretly valuable.” But inevitably the massive speculation bubbles that arise whenever Jul buys 50 thousand recalled air fryers burst when it’s revealed he is in fact buying literal garbage. Not to mention everyone who suddenly finds themselves priced out whenever Jul Tambor rolls through like the Mansa Musa of trash.

But imagine you and your supporters got exiled to a death world and everyone is just waiting for you all to suffocate and go extinct. It’s illegal to buy breathing equipment. So you buy tons of completely unrelated scrap instead and process it into breathing equipment.

You need to defend them, but if you buy weapons, the Empire will immediately notice and wipe you out. So instead you buy more garbage and scavenge battlefields for old droids and straight up steal new droids.

Jul managed to piss off so many criminal organisations that the Empire had mistaken them for an intentional blockade when they all gathered in the Skako system to kick his ass. Not only are they all trying to kill him, they discovered and are attacking his supporters. 

No wonder the Droid Crush Pirates have it out for him in particular. They have been fighting Darth Vader, Jul has been scavenging droids specifically killed by Darth Vader, so from their perspective, Jul has been kidnapping and brainwashing them.

Sabé’s belief that Jul must be stopped because if he attacks Vader, he will die and Vader will massacre his supporters in retaliation, is rooted in her own past experiences where she and her supporters had the privilege of walking away alive. Let’s examine Jul’s options:

As long as the Empire is in power, they will back the current ruling council of Skako. As long as the council remains in power, we are stranded on Brentaal IV. As long as we are stranded on Brentaal IV, we need to buy garbage to survive. A long as I buy garbage, pirates will try to kill me. Also Darth Vader is here.

Option 1: Retake Skako

If we win, the Empire will return to kill us again. X

If we lose, we die on the council’s orders. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 2: Do nothing

Pirates kill us. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 3: Lasting peace with pirates

If I succeed, I can’t buy scrap anymore so everyone will suffocate. X

If I fail, pirates kill us. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 4: Escape the system

If we succeed, we will have the same problems somewhere else. X

If we fail, pirates kill us. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 5: Kill Darth Vader

If I succeed, Imperial control of Skako will be weak enough for us to defy the council and go home.

If I fail, Darth Vader kills us. X

Fuck it we ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging by past trends, (Effortless destruction of the Amidalans, effortless destruction of Droid Crush, Ochi’s there, mild annoyance from IG-88, temporary distraction by Palpatine’s aides, severe emotional damage from Padme’s handmaidens, being obliterated and nearly dying from Governor Tauntaza who escapes unharmed), Vader is taking greater and greater Ls for each new enemy he faces.  Additionally, he has gone from at least cursorily supporting the Empire to killing officers on a whim and completely ignoring his official missions to continue his midlife crisis. I don’t think he’s killed a single formal member of the Rebellion in this entire comic series. At the very least, good job everyone for wasting his time, even if none of you could kill him ! Here’s what I think is going to happen:

Because he inherited Grandpa Wat’s self-preservation instincts, Jul will die horribly, but in such a way that achieves all of his other objectives. Like before he dies, he calls all the pirates and says,

“Hey guys. I got raided by the Empire and all of my

27 TRILLION TECHNO UNION CREDITS

are being held in the Skako Minor Imperial garrison. You can stop trying to kill me now. The Empire’s sending in some ships to retrieve

27 TRILLION TECHNO UNION CREDITS 

soon. Even if you catch me, I got nothing left for you. Peace!”

Whether Jul is incompetent enough to get robbed by the Empire or he’s a genius for lying is irrelevant, because this spurs the pirates into attacking the Imperial garrison. Killing Jul does nothing to stop them. He was never their commander. The pirates and the Empire annihilate each other over vast fortunes that may or may not exist.

In the resulting chaos, the Skakoans on Brentaal IV escape and the council gets overthrown. Vader’s like, “Man fuck this place. Maybe Tarkin was right about the Death Star.” and then leaves because he entirely stopped caring about the Empire’s interests.

Hey, @wearewatcher! I've got a request for Ghost Files! (And honestly, something for Shane to do...cause I think he's who can answer this call...you know, the chosen one.)

Flesh out ghost/paranormal world-building, please!

Listen, I like to zone-out listening to ghost hunting things on Youtube while doing my hyperfixating on my puzzles and such, and y'all, most ghost hunters have THE WORST headcannons. (And they ask the dumbest questions ever.) For example:

1) Like, creepy basement ALWAYS = demons!! What? That's dumb. Why would some all-powerful, evil being just be hanging in a basement of all places? (Idk man, I think the biggest evil in the world is like...people who commit genocide or maybe exploit others for their own gain?)

But okay, let's say basement = demons. Then, why are the demons always in the basements? Going a bit Good Omens with this right now, but...are they actually on their demon "lunch break?" Like, they head to dark, damp places to be left alone, but then all these stupid humans come in with their loud-ass spirit boxes and bug the shit out of them? Is that why they're always like "RUN," "EVIL" and "LEAVE?" ...'Cause if I'm on my lunch break, same demons. Same.

-> If so, I think it would be nice to share some new ideas for keeping humans out of their way. Like, maybe they just don't realize that "creepy victorian girl in a nightgown" isn't enough to scare 21st century humans away. (Not that it's their fault they don't know that. It's hard for adults to keep up with teenager trends, so I can only imagine how hard it would be to keep up with human trends if you're immortal.) Maybe they need to consider appearing as a giant spider like Shelob or something. Most people would run away from Shelob. Or appear as a roach or bug infestation or something (you know, like the insect cave in Temple of Doom). Other than potential fumigators or entomologists, most people would skip going to the basement in that case.

2) Also the stupid theory that the demons need energy from fear?? Makes no damn sense. There's energy freakin' everywhere in nature! That's what makes even Physics 101 so annoying--all those forces and such. So...why would their fuel need to be emotion? And okay, sure, if for some supernatural reason emotion is their food, why only human emotion? Why couldn't they just freak out a raccoon and be good with that? If I were reading a Fanfic and the author did such lazy-ass world building, I would stop reading. (Please ask the basement demons if they also think this theory is stupid next time you're down there.)

-> And also, if you go back to the Conjuring house, maybe suggest to the bent-neck lady that she should try crawling in a back-bend like a Japanese ghost for additional fear/creep factor...'cause word is out on her bent neck thing, so it's probably lost the same "scare" level it used to have. If human fear = food, girl is probs starving! So help her out, please.

Other random questions that I want to ask ghosts instead of the stupid "how did you die?" or "do you know you're dead?" questions:

If you're just going about your day without a body, do you still like, go to the bathroom and stuff? I mean, Everyone Poops (as the children's book says), but if you don't have a body, you don't need to poop. But if you don't think you're dead, then you must be going through the act of pooping, 'cause not needing to poop for like 100 years is kinda a dead give away (pun intended) that you're dead.

Do you have to wear your fancy outfits after death? Can't you just change into like pajamas or something more comfortable than a full suit or victorian dress? I mean, COVID shutdown proved to us that living humans turn to pajamas as often as possible, so I would assume ghosts would too. (OH SHIT! Is that why there are so many lady-ghosts in nightgowns in the UK? They're just getting comfy???)

Do they miss food? (Cause I would totally miss ice cream, pizza, burgers, etc.) Or can they have ghost-feasts like that imaginary meal the lost-boys had in the movie Hook?

(I could think of more, but I should probably wrap this up.)

In conclusion: Do the other ghost-hunters a solid by completing some world-building so the bullshit at least makes sense.

"All ye saying is great BUT I gotta ask. What image? Reputation? There is media and fan attention? Like I know there are the staged pap walks now and then, and the occasional article on the back of daily mail. But ye saying like she upped her status? Is this true? OMG what is happening?"

Lol, nah, by reputation I mean she cant/won't risk *getting* a bad rep, she'll be doing her very best to gain and uphold a rep as a hard worker who fullfills her contract, and not doing stupid shit (like travelling far away when she's on stage doing on 8 shows for 6 days a week). I do have to give her credit for hustling, she's busting her ass to get every little nugget of attention.

And the media she gets is definitely whatever J and her publicity team can latch on to, or generate themselves, but she does work a lot for it: she's doing her little outfit of the day thing in more or less successfully trendy/classy/well fitted outfits (some of the brands are pretty big while others are clearly smaller yet up and coming/working with J because she's willing to wear them and get them the attention they need to move on to bigger and better names in the industry) and there's an accompanying "pap shot" of every.single.one. of them, landing her in several "spotted today" lists of celebs out and about. Both her publicist/publicity team and her stylist have been whipped around, earning their money this summer.

Too bad nobody's told her of the risk of overdoing it. I think even her die hard fans are getting a bit fed up now, between her posting SO MUCH, and the ridiculously obvious pap walk from the same damn street every time she's wearing a new outfit... which is every day. In addition, of course, to her semi-regular cult like work outs, and the pushing of her bestie produced wine. Her posts do get a lot of likes, but I've noticed it takes a while to reach the higher numbers now, two or three days. I think she's overfed her followers, there's just too much of her, all the time, everywhere.

Well this is interesting read hun, thankies for that 🧚‍♀️ if anyone needed an update on twin flame - she seems to be doing better than Benny Boy x.x

From ma end Imma gonna add that one part of her performance she keeps reposting over and over, and it gained a lil momentum but nothing major. She also ain't the one who came up with the lines sooooo let us talk about her republican of a father instead shall we?

OH! And I looked through them brands she tags (thanks to the weird ig trend of creating celebs wardrobe id accounts) and hardly anyone, meaning the brands, acknowledges her lol it's like her Valentino crazy tagging spree, she was never picked up by them but her bestie Nina was on couple of occasions xd
