#like even the people who want a housewife still don't think it's any work it's so retarded

[schulziann]

Why do people say "I don't want to work I want to be a housewife" as if that doesn't require work. I just know you've got black grime building up in the corners of your house

I can't be everywhere (No outbreak!Joel Miller x f!reader) ANGST! Part 2

Summary: You knew Joel was a busy man, but you never thought that when you needed him most you would hear, "I can't be everywhere." As if your pain meant nothing. So you decided that you couldn't be everywhere either… You couldn't be in his heart anymore.

Warnings: ANGST, miscarriage, misunderstanding, loss, mourning, broken heart, age gap (17 years), Joel is 45, depression, Joel tries hard, but… He can't show his true emotions…

Part 2

Joel had no self-confidence. He knew it. He might have played the tough guy, but he knew the truth. He was afraid of relationships. Sarah's mother left such a huge hole in his heart that for a long time, he was unable to establish normal relationships with women. At first, he thought it was better this way. He focused on raising his daughter.

Joel was selfish. He hid it behind the statement that he had to care for his daughter and help his brother. But he knew the truth. He did what was comfortable for him and didn't think about the feelings of the other women. He started dating women when Sarah was older and needed less attention. He selfishly used women to satisfy his needs. Most often they were short-lived affairs for him. Sometimes just for one night. He didn't give any woman false hopes for something more serious, so he had no remorse.

He stayed longer with a woman named Tess. But only because he was comfortable with her. Tess was younger than him, but not as significantly as you. She was in a similar situation to Joel. She was a divorcee, raised a teenage son on her own, had her own business, and worked hard. And this arrangement seemed perfect to him. He saw Tess whenever he needed to. Sometimes he stayed overnight with her, and sometimes she stayed with him. They were together, although neither of them planned to make it official. And then suddenly it fell apart… And two months later he met you.

At first, he tried to stay away from you. However, he couldn't help but glance at you. There was something attractive about you. He saw how you treated other people with kindness. He noticed that despite your young age, you were very responsible and weren't the party type. And he loved your laugh. God, how he loved your laugh. He could be busy drilling holes and he would still recognize your laughter. Even Tommy noticed that his brother had a crush on you and casually told Joel one day.

"Her name is Y/N and if I understand correctly, she is single."

Joel looked at him in surprise and grunted, "So what? I don't care."

"Yeah, sure… I'm just saying."

Two weeks later, he saved you when you locked yourself in the bathroom and he was able to say your name out loud for the first time. And when he looked into your beautiful eyes that looked at him with gratitude, he felt like a knight who saved the princess and then it happened… Joel Miller fell in love… And he really wanted to be with you. Being with you was like a breath of fresh air to him. He felt younger around you, and at the same time, he didn't feel any pressure from you to be someone else. He saw that you fully accepted him and he was happy. So much so that he wanted to have you even closer to him. He wanted to see you every morning and evening.

And you were so sweet to him. Before he knew it, he was already used to home-cooked meals, your massages, and shared showers. And he was selfish again. He didn't notice that he was taking away your youth, that he was turning you into a housewife. He told himself that's what you wanted. He stopped thanking you for dinners and all the other little things you did for him. He thought it was a part of you.

Everything was going perfectly. Everything was set and stable and Joel wanted nothing more and that was the problem. Joel didn't want to change ANYTHING. So the news of your pregnancy turned his sense of stability upside down. After all, he was a responsible man, so he wasn't going to abandon you. But he couldn't drive away the shadows that appeared around him. Even though he didn't show it to you, he was panicking. And for many reasons. He knew that the baby would change everything, that HE would have to change. But he didn't know if he would be able to. He was also worried that having a child would be too much for you, even though he saw that you weren't like Sarah's mother. He was worried about money, about your health, about… So many things that he just couldn't feel joy.

He knew that avoiding you was stupid and that it wouldn't change anything. He had to come to terms with the idea of becoming a dad for the second time. He didn't want to let you down, and yet he didn't know how to change.

The day you called him to tell him your belly hurt, he felt a twinge of fear. When you finished talking, he felt guilty. What if his dislike for this child and lack of joy caused a curse? He even stopped the car on the side of the road and considered turning around, but… Joel Miller was a coward and decided to distort reality. He figured that if he didn't turn back, nothing bad would happen. And then everything got even worse. He was distracted and left his phone in the car. When Tommy asked him for car keys because he wanted to go pick up some building supplies, Joel didn't think twice. Only later did he realize his stupidity. You might want to contact him. When Tommy finally returned, Joel immediately checked his phone. Three missed calls from you and one text message… The content of the message was etched in his chest. He had to lean on the car to keep from falling over.

His brother's voice seemed muffled.

"Jo… Bro, what happened?"

When he could finally take a deeper breath, he croaked.

"Y/N is in the hospital… I think it's about the baby…"

Tommy sighed heavily, not sure how to react. He saw how reluctant Joel was to the idea of having another child, but he hoped that his brother would come to his senses and change his mind, but it was too late.

"You should go to her."

"She definitely hates me."

Tommy snorted and grabbed his brother's arm.

"Sometimes I can't believe you're the older one. Even if she hates you now, your ass should be in the hospital… It was your baby too!"

Joel took a step back and felt the sting of tears in his eyes.

"I know…"

His brother softened a bit.

"Shall I take you to her?"

He shook his head and gripped his keys tighter, then got into the car. All the way to the hospital he kept telling himself that he had to be strong. He wanted to be your support, but… The moment he saw you in the hospital bed… So vulnerable, dressed in a terrible salmon hospital gown, his heart sank. You didn't deserve this. You didn't deserve all this suffering and an asshole boyfriend like him. He felt like he let you down. Instead of focusing on your suffering, he fell into self-blame.

So when you woke up, he didn't know what to do. He thought that just hugging you would be enough. He hoped this gesture would let you know how sorry he was. But Joel was a fool.

And when you asked, "Why weren't you with me?" he felt as if all his worst fears had come true.

You hated him. It was obvious. He left you when you needed him the most. He felt like he was going to fall apart and start crying like a baby. So he did what he always did when he felt like this, he put on a tough guy pose and answered back with the sentence that hurt you so much.

"I can't be everywhere."

And, the moment those words left his mouth, he realized how he had screwed up. How could he be such an asshole to blame you? But he couldn't take it back. When you said you wanted to sleep, he thought it was the perfect excuse to retreat and run away.

Joel Miller was selfish again. He wanted to protect his heart and his feelings without understanding how much he hurt you. But when he returned home, he felt empty… He walked into the bedroom on heavy legs, and when he saw a blood stain on the sheet, he fell apart. He fell to the floor and started crying like a baby.

How could he do this to you? He didn't deserve you, your kindness and love, but he couldn't let go of you. When he calmed down, he decided to clean up and then he had a brilliant idea. He decided that the best way to survive this crisis was to downplay the significance of the tragedy. Yes. He decided that he needed to help you get back to normal life as soon as possible. There was no point in despairing any longer.

A tragedy had befallen you, but he couldn't change anything.

The problem was that his plan didn't work. For the next few days, he was only met with your indifference. No matter how nice he was, you didn't respond in any way. His idealized relationship disappeared like a mirage. There were no more warm dinners, sweet kisses, and joyful smiles.

When he saw you lying on the couch, eyes glued to the TV, he felt guilt consume him. He even started to want you to react in any way. He would even prefer you to scream at him, throw plates at him, cry, but… You were just like a ghost. A ghost that haunted him and reminded him of how he had screwed up.

When he came home and didn't see you on the couch, he was naively happy at first. He thought you were finally feeling better. Maybe you were reading a book in the bedroom and waiting for him… Or taking a shower… Then it slowly dawned on him that something was wrong. It was too empty and too quiet.

"Y/N!"

Joel looked into the bedroom, the bathroom, and even to Sarah's room.

"Y/N, baby, where are you?!"

He finally walked into the kitchen and found a note from you. He read it once… Second, third… Tenth time… And he didn't understand anything. He felt like you had ripped his heart out. First, he felt anger and even thoughts appeared in his mind: Well, let her go… But it quickly disappeared…

He started to panic because he suddenly realized how much he loved you. He took out his phone and tried to call you, but you didn't answer. He tried again and again… Finally, with trembling hands, he texted you:

'Babe… I know I deserve it and that you're hurt, but please, at least write that you're okay. I want you to be safe… I love you.'

He didn't even care that his message sounded desperate. For the first time in a long time, he wasn't ashamed to admit his feelings. He took a bottle of beer and sat on the couch with a piece of paper in his hand. He focused on the words: … for a while. He clung to these few words so tightly that he didn't want to pay attention to the rest. He wanted to cling to the hope that it wasn't too late… He wanted to believe that you would come back to him, after some time… * It was a long drive from Austin to Florida, so halfway you decided to stop and sleep at a motel. You even started to regret not taking the plane, but you were so desperate that you couldn't think straight. When you threw yourself on the crappy bed with a groan, you decided to check your phone. Throughout the trip, you consistently ignored checking to see if Joel had called you. When you saw a few calls from him and a text message, it made you feel better on one hand. At least he was thinking about you. When you read his message, you were shocked. It didn't sound like, Joel… Did he realize his mistake? But on the other hand, it also sounded a bit infantile, as if you had argued over something trivial, and not lost a child. But you knew it would be unrealistic to expect a long essay from someone like Joel. He just wasn't that type. You sighed and rolled onto your back, your phone raised above your head. Part of you wanted to be mean and not text him back. You wanted to leave him in suspense, but… It just wasn't fair. You believed his concern for you in that moment was genuine. So you bit your lip and replied:

'I'm okay.'

Almost immediately, your phone started ringing. You rejected Joel's call and in half a minute there was another message.

'Where are you? Can we talk?'

You snorted and were about to use obscene words, but you stayed calm.

'On the way to Florida. I don't want to talk.' * Joel's heart trembled when he read your message. Florida?! It almost sounded like the North Pole. He was counting on you being somewhere closer, that he could just get in the car and drive to you. His hands began to shake as he wrote another message. Although he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer.

'For how long?'

When he got your answer, he felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on him.

'I don't know, for a month, for two… forever.'

He felt like screaming. He was angry with you. Yes, he knew he was the one who screwed up, but if you had at least let him talk to you. He decided to approach you from a slightly different angle and let some of his anger flow out of him.

'What about your job, what about our lives, what about your things… Everything?' * You groaned in annoyance when you saw his message. This is cold old Joel who calculates everything. As if emotions played no role. You waited a few minutes and sent him another message.

'I can do my job remotely, and if not, I will find a new one. Apparently, only I cared about our life together. And my things… You can pack them up and throw them in the basement!'

Then you put your head under the pillow and turned off your phone. You had enough. * Joel sighed deeply as he read your message and realized that he had screwed up again. He just didn't know what he was doing wrong… How could he fix it? He went to the bedroom and grabbed your sweatshirt from the locker. Then he lay down on the bed and pressed his nose into the soft material. He certainly wasn't going to throw your stuff into the basement. Your things were the last thing that gave him hope that he wasn't completely alone because of him acting like a dick. * When you reached your friend, Maddie, you felt a sense of relief… Momentary peace. For a moment, it seemed as if all the bad things were behind you. All the pain, suffering, and loss no longer affected you, but that was just an illusion. When Maddie hugged you and told you she was sorry for your loss, you broke down and started crying. No matter how much you tried to downplay your loss, it hurt just as much as it did in the hospital when Joel left you.

Once you calmed yourself, you two sat down together on the floor in her living room and opened a bottle of wine. You started talking. You could finally let it all out. At one point Maddie said:

"God… What a terrible guy! That's what it's like with these older guys. They expect…"

"Do not say that!"

Your outburst of anger surprised both you and her.

"What?"

You took a long sip of wine and tried to hold back the tears.

"Joel is not a monster… Yes, he let me down and… Maybe our relationship isn't perfect, but… Our relationship wasn't just a failure. When he held me in his arms when we cuddled on the couch… Life with him was pleasant and his age didn't change that…"

You couldn't stop crying anymore and the first tears rolled down your cheeks. Maddie frowned and muttered.

"You… Do you still love him?"

You closed your eyes and sighed heavily. It was obvious. You couldn't just kill this love.

"Yes," you whispered.

"And yet you left him."

You opened your eyes and your friend saw deep pain.

"It's just… Sometimes you can't be everywhere." *

Non-exhaustive list of Actually helpful ADHD cleaning tips from somone with ADHD who has gone many months without cleaning at all before and is figuring out what works for them

- VACUUM EARLY. The usual cleaning rule is to vacuum last but that won't work for us. Get everything off the floor then vacuum while you still have motivation and you aren't tired yet. It'll feel nicer to walk around, it will get a lot of dust and dirt (so you're in a cleaner space) and if you get burnt out/distracted half way through then at least that big thing is done

If you have energy once everything is put away then vacuum again to get the dirt you missed.

- Take meds. If you have meds take them. They help. Even if you think they don't, even if you hate some side effects take them so you can have a nice house

- Music or a podcast. You have to play something to keep yourself occupied. TV will make you want to watch but audio will let you do other things

- Set the bar low. Only say you'll clean one room. Or you'll just put away clothes. Or you'll just change your sheets. Give yourself victories so you want to keep going. And then if you don't do more then hey! You did what you set out to do!

- Throw out things. I know hording tendencies are hard and if you are a crafter you want to keep every little scrap of junk but it'll help if you throw things out.

If you feel you have to keep that piece of cardboard ir plastic then get a zip lock bag and put all your little craft bits in it. You can keep it but if you use nothing from it then you can throw out the whole bag after a week or a month.

- Put on a cute apron/ tie your hair up/ pretend you are a 50s housewife. You have to make it interesting for yourself so play dress up! It'll help it be fun and it's like a work uniform. It'll help to tell your brain that now you're in "cleaning mode". And a fun apron will help protect you from any dirt which is extra good. Hell wear a pair of high heels and tiny booty shorts just to wear something different.

- Along those lines of making it fun/different pretend you are on a cleaning show! Pretend you're making a YouTube video about how to clean/look at this amazing transformation! I love videos of people with my level of depression or adhd actually clean and feel better. It makes me feel less alone so sometimes I pretend I'm also making a video for everyone else who struggles.

- If your house smells bad light a candle or incense or have room spray. You need to be able to clean up the bad smells so you have to be in the room with the bad smells. Make them less bad so you can get rid of them

.

- Wear gloves even if you aren't doing dishes.

- It's okay to do one room at a time. It's okay to do only bits of the room. It's okay to put away half your clothes then clean the desk them put away the other half of the clothes. You don't have to do everything in order

- Bring a big garbage bag with you everywhere so you can easily put everything there instead of filling up the bin in each room.

- Also bring a laundry basket with you. Anything that need to go in another room put it in the basket so you can stay in the room you're cleaning and not get distracted, then take it with you when you leave

- If you have a blorbo pretend they're helping you. They're encouraging you from where they're leaning against a wall or they're gonna come over after so you want your house to be nice for them. It can help you feel like there's a point to it all.

- You aren't a failure. You have a brain that works differently and it needs help to work best.

[nanistar]

i saw ur nightheart posts and i noticed u hate him quite a lot and im curious for the reasons why! i hope it doesnt sound rude! its a genuine question out of curiousity not an attempt for you to justify ur opinion, personally im aloof when it comes to nightheart i think hes just an edgelord tbh

nah you're not rude dw i get it. tbh i don't hate HIM as a character, i mean he's kinda annoying but whatever. instead i hate everything about him as a written extension of the authors and their views. nightheart isn't real, and doesn't have opinions but they authors do and they speak thru him to a young and volatile audience that might not know better. (which is also why i don't buy the "unreliable narrator" thing)

they twist the female characters around him to fit their narrative of "poor misunderstood sadboy" surrounded by "cruel mean women". squirrelflight, sparkpelt and even finchlight already had personalities, squirrelflight especially is known for bending rules for what she views as "the right thing", so why would she turn around and scream at him for wanting to change his name? why would finchlight, in one book, support his name change and stick up for him, only for in the next book to completely turn around and call him disrespectful and selfish. they needed to create more drama for him. before his warrior ceremony, he pulls off dangerous stunts trying to show off during his test, and it ends up blowing up in his face and fails, and he doesn't see this as HIS failing, he blames squirrelflight and his mentor for "expecting more of him because he's related to firestar" which??? and for that plot point to be given to him instead of his mother sparkpelt who is multiple times described as the spitting image of firestar? but she's like, totally fine with it. she's never given anything to do ever until she becomes a mother, (except disagree with alderheart like once and be the "rude misunderstanding woman" for his story too.)

and speaking of mothers... sparkpelt lost her mate as she gave birth, two heavily traumatizing things happening simultaneously. she had post-partum depression for a while, which is a serious and debilitating illness that KILLS people. yet she was still able to feed the kits, she didn't abandon them. they had plenty of attention from their family and from the other nursery cats. they were never once neglected. she was only out of commission for about a month before squirrelflight helped her back on her feet but that doesn't matter, because for the narrative, (and by the fandom) she is treated like a horrible abusive mother who neglected her kids on purpose. which. first of all crookedstar couldn't even LOOK at his daughter for the first week of her life and he is heralded as nothing but a loving father. second, nightheart goes on and on about how she left him and how she is hardly his mother because (lilyheart? i dont remember) one of the other queens helped raise them for the first month. the erins tie the worth of their female characters to how good of a mother they are, and any deviations from the nuclear family with a working husband and a housewife are automatically bad in their eyes,( yet they killed off ferncloud because she was "too annoying" for being a loving nursery mom.) (also think about how anti-adoption they are. the second the po3 secret was out, suddenly brambleclaw and squilf were never their parents despite literally raising them) they are horribly misogynistic, and their female characters are just pawns for either manpain or to be baby machines. this doesn't even begin to touch on how boy crazy the female protags have been lately, bristlefrost was interesting at first but eventually just turned into a wife for rootspring and then fridged for manpain, and sunbeam suddenly deciding shes in love with nightheart even though he stalked her and creeped her out???

adding on to this point, during ashfur's takeover, sparkpelt is EXILED from thunderclan (after being mauled by dogs, and by who she believes to be her father btw) she BEGS imposterstar to let her stay because of her family but he refuses. finchpaw chooses to go with her mother but flamepaw stays behind. then in his POV parts, he goes on and on about how she walked out on him!

again, nightheart the character: not real. he's a puppet for the authors to speak their misogynistic rhetoric. i would LOVE if he was just kinda a whiny emo dirtbag, or an actual unreliable narrator and whenever he complained everyone around him rolled their eyes and was like "ok nightheart" . remember that scene in meet the robinsons where bowler hat guy is telling his tragic backstory and he's talking about ppl at school and his narration says "they alll HATED me" while everyone in the scene was like "hi goob cool binder!" or "hey wanna come hang out with me later?" THAT'S (hilarious) but also what an unreliable narrator is. if that was nightheart it would be so funny. but instead, he HAS to be right, he HAS to be mistreated by all these mean horrible women. sorry for ranting, i promise im not mad at you.

I'm curious, do ppl hate Love Never Dies because they think Eristine is problematic and it's made canon in it, or is it due to something else? I havent watched it yet or anything but i like the vibes, lol

Heh... Love Never Dies has always been controversial at the very least? It came out at a time where Erik/Christine was still the most popular ship in the phandom - it still is, by the way. That didn't change despite a clear shift in fandom and ""problematic content"" around 2013, so a good 3 years after the musical came out. If anything, Raoul/Christine shippers have been a minority for most of the phandom's history, and both sides of the debate at some point more or less decided to agree to disagree (I mean, the homophobic slurs Raoul would get at times were starting to REALLY be in poor taste), except on the point that without the love triangle, there wouldn't be much of a story, and there are various ways of interpreting said love triangle. So, quite frankly, I don't understand why some people on either side are trying to restart discourse in the POTO fandom but I digress. And look, if you see people in the tags saying that Erik/Christine is problematic, they're probably new, and not really representative of the phandom at large. Anything having to do with Sierra Boggess is more controversial.

I really don't think the controversy stems from it making Erik and Christine bang and have a love child - I know there are some people who are against the idea of any kind of sequel, in fanfic form or otherwise, for a variety of reasons, but most of them were being responsible adults about it and didn't actively seek fanfic. As I mentioned before, a lot of folks were Erik/Christine shippers and thought that Christine was more into the Phantom than into Raoul, that's nothing new. But a lot of them also had issues with how LND dealt with it, for several reasons. It didn't come from an "anti" sentiment, it was very much them having issues with the material that was presented to them.

Raphael/phantoonsoftheopera (who is a long time fan of POTO) goes into more detail here and I think he sums up a lot of phans' thoughts back in 2010 when LND came out (whether they shipped the Phantom and Christine or not), and I think @musicalhell is another one who was also around at the time (feel free to pop in, and hope I'm not bothering you with the tag).

As for the rest, I wish I could defend ALW's choices here in the same way I'd defend Lana Wachowski for Matrix Resurrections - i.e. you're allowed to not like it but this is this creator's baby and they're allowed to do whatever they want with it, so let's all respect art for the sake of art here. But LND is very much a vanity project, as ALW has proven multiple times, that is mean-spirited to its core in various ways. For my fellow SW fans, it's the TROS to POTO'S TLJ. The cast and crew were treated in a really shitty way back in the original London production days, same with critics of the show, and there was even a case where a journalist and long time phan who provided a critical review of LND was demeaned in an article as some sort of sad housewife who was obsessed with POTO. Mind you, ALW has tried to make LND work FOR YEARS, with various productions and tours opening here and there, but it always underperforms. And mind you, the Eristine crowd is still hanging around, and POTO is doing extremely well whereever it goes to this day. If the Eristine content was good, the crowds would follow, "problématique" posts and tweets or not. They aren't there.

Is Lestat Racist?

I can't fathom how people can have the most grimdark interpretation that Lestat actually thinks Louis & Claudia are 'beneath' him solely because they are black BUT still want Loustat as a relationship to continue. It isn't that racists wouldn't date someone from a group they hate, it has been done. But I find it worth remarking on that people who think so little of Lestat, that he is a run-of-the-mill racist, a genuine slave master, and akin to a nazi are still out here gleefully participating in Loustat. I am not one to tell people what they ship or how to ship, not because I don't judge, I do, but because I you can't control people, so I don't try. Why do you want Louis with a blatant racist? I am confused. What pleasure do you get from viewing this relationship as Lestat actively wanting to racially dominate his family? You can say Lestat's actions have racist connotations and interpretations, without saying he without a doubt thinks his black family members are lesser beings? And that your interpretation is all there is and anything else is wrong. There is not one 'single' interpretation of a text, just some with more substantial evidence.

I choose to believe Lestat is acting without racial awareness (which is racist), he is treating the black versions of Claudia and Louis, the same way he would have treated white Claudia & Louis, which is racist because they aren't far off from slavery. He isn't looking at the optics, he's acting like a man blind to everything except the fact that he's losing control of his family. Lestat isn't an idiot, he sees race as a feature, and that smallminded people would see it as a lesser trait, but he doesn't understand why after Louis and Claudia become vampires, a part of his family, a part of his bloodline, they want to maintain racial ties and alliances and world view.

He doesn't think he's better than them because he is white, he thinks he's a father saying " I am the head of the household!" so he should be "respected & his words honored." When he says "I am your maker," He's saying, "I am your mother, I brought you into this work and I can take you out." Something my own mother has said to me many times. Because of this writers felt the need to hammer home that Louis is being viewed as a beleaguered battered housewife being led around by Lestat. (Even though he don't cook, he don't clean and earnt his ring suck-)

"But Claudia called him "massa" and made allusions to slavery", yeah because that is what teenagers do. To Lestat she's an ungrateful teenager acting up, throwing tantrums, and viewing him as a monster for being a disciplinary force. Lestat is hearing, "You won't let me dress how I want, go out past curfew, etc you're a dictator and this house is hell!" Because the writers decided to take all the dynamics of the plain white-bread nuclear family and imprint them onto these vampires, but escalate everything to the vampire level. So like Jacob said, "It's a fight about who puts out the bins." but given an escalation x 1000.

My beef with the writers is that they took a relatively ambiguous complex book and made it so much simple and clear. We can't debate whether Claudia had the right to kill Lestat because instead of Lestat giving pissy little verbal threats, he actually does choke out Claudia and beat Louis. Instead of Lestat sheltering Louis and Claudia from the vampire world, isolating them from their history by never giving them knowledge and having them live in fear of the unknown, he literally drags Claudia back home kicking and screaming. So Claudia cannot be interpreted any other way except as a righteous liberator, and Louis a victim, or they are liars. Claudia and Louis's accounts barely vary except when Claudia started to hate Louis towards the end, so they can't go back on their depiction of the abuse without painting Claudia and Louis as liars. So this gives credence and believability to everything Claudia says, instead of her words and motivations going under a microscope like every other insane person in this relationship. They even do the unreliable narration thing wrong lmao.

To me, the writers aren't making some grand declaration about the nature of interracial family dynamics, if they are it is sloppy af. The racial discussion in this show isn't that complex babes. They are taking all the subtle metaphors, and allusions of the novel and making them so overt, to the point they are beating us over the head with it. You can see it in the way they sidelined religion and philosophy in this series, despite it being a big part of the books. They have cut the fat, removed all the gray areas, and are giving us Explicit Sex and Explicit Abusive family dynamics, now with a racial lens that colors everything more negatively. And this is my interpretation, and I can say it without needing to make people feel like idiots or racists for disagreeing or having an interpretation that I do not support. Please become more sane and respectful to each other or block liberally and live in peace! The constantly attacking and demonizing people at random for having any opinion that differs...

𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙆 𝙑𝙎. 𝙍𝙊𝙈𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙈𝙋𝙏𝙎.

as requested by a most magnificent nonnie with a mind that has me DAZZLED!! these are prompts based on the concept of two people working together who find themselves struggling with growing feelings for one another, and how those people finally confront the situation together while addressing the unfortunate factor of their work in the relationship! please enjoy! don't add to this list!!

" what are you so afraid of here?! getting fired, or having feelings?! "

" how is it fair that we can't hold hands or have a relationship together in the workplace, but helen is allowed to show up with her god-awful egg salad sandwiches every tuesday for lunch?! "

" don't act like you give a damn about the rules and the etiquette! marvin put a sign up on the microwave asking people not to put fish in it, and you made sure to stick a frozen fish pie in it the same day! so the rules aren't the problem here! "

" oh... oh, no, come on, stop this! stop! you think i don't know what you're feeling?! i feel that way ever since i met you! but we can't act on that! the flirty banter is one thing, that's fine, that's us being idiots! but love?! actual love? no. we can't do that, not where we work. you know that. "

" ah well. guess i'll quit, then. don't worry. i'm amazing at interviews, you know. and if all else fails, babe, i'm a really good househusband/housewife/housespouse. "

" i love you. you want me to say it again in front of HR, in front of our boss, then that's fine, too. i love you. i LOVE you! "

" yeah, you know, i'm starting to get the impression that you're ashamed of me. "

" i don't care about this job. i'll quit right now if it means i get to be with you. "

" quit acting like the job is what's stopping you from being with me! "

" i don't care if they fire me. you're more important to me than any of that. "

" i'm sorry. god, i shouldn't be... we shouldn't be doing this. it's beyond inappropriate! the rules are there for a reason, right? "

" all i know is that i love you far more than i care about some stupid job! "

" so that's it? you're walking away from us because our boss told us to? "

" i handed in my notice. that's how serious i am about you. "

" relationships between employees are strictly against the rules, you know that! "

" please don't sit there and tell me we're breaking up because some stupid out-dated handbook told us it wasn't okay! "

" look, we had fun. right? we did! we had fun, but a little fun and a fling isn't worth losing our jobs over. "

" see, i'm not in love with our boss. i'm in love with you. "

" i was gonna quit my job that day, anyway. and then you walked in, and gave me a reason to stay. "

" there's gonna be other jobs. but there won't ever be another you. "

" don't be so naive! if we're together and they find out, they'll fire us! i'm not worth losing your job over! "

" what happens if we break up and we're still working together?! what then?! "

" i'm sick of only being allowed to love you on weekends. it's not right, babe, and you know it isn't. "

" stop pretending our job is the problem! HR has literal paperwork designed for our relationship, so don't stand there and act like it's illegal to be in love with you! "

" don't use the job as an excuse! you're scared! scared to commit! "

" i put in for a transfer. see, either you love me back, and it goes against the guidelines, or you don't love me, and i'm never going to be able to get over that. so now you can just tell me what you feel, and it won't be a problem either way. "

" workplace romances never end well. so, let's just break up now, while we're both happy and everything's good, right? "

" i never liked this job, anyway. you were the only good thing about it. so i'll quit. "

" let's face it. this was never just a work crush for me. you're it. you're the one i love. "

" that's it, then? one stupid rule in a fifty year old handbook, and you're walking away? you won't even fight for us?! "

" if all it takes is one little word from our boss to make you run away from this, then maybe we SHOULD break up. "

Tobirama with a bimbo housewife

Warnings: 18+ only, misogyny, toxic relationship, bimbofication, female reader, don't like - don't read

Tobirama is a mean husband with typical misogynistic views of how his wife should conduct herself. As a trusted advisor to the Hokage, he does not have time to be home all the time and attend to his wife’s minuscule feelings. She needs to learn how to be self sufficient without being babysat. Tobirama understands that it is hard being so dumb, his wife would quit breathing if he wasn’t there to remind her. She is so air-headed that he can’t rely on her to do basic things like boiling a pot of water for his tea or washing his clothes properly. However, Tobirama tries his best to train her into becoming a descent housewife because he understands that it is not her fault for being so stupid. Genuinely, Tobirama loves a dumb housewife. He feels his ego swell whenever his wife gives him that stupid confused look on their face when asks a simple question. He often loves to embarrass his wife by asking her to read his reports for him or give an opinion on Konoha policies. His cock swells when tears begin to bubble in her eyes from her empty brain working hard to comprehend his question. Honestly, a ditzy little wife is just the type of woman Tobirama likes. Someone who does not retaliate or question him, just simply follows his orders to the best of their ability and swallows his cum like a mindless whore.

Tobirama loves to keep his woman on her toes. He will drop the dinner plate on floor to make his wife clean it up. If his food was burnt or even made correctly he will still complain. He loves the dumbfound look on his wife’s face when her little brain tries hard to read a cookbook. However, Tobirama is not completely sadistic. He will praise her failed attempts at being a good housewife. If she manages to remember how to boil water in the kettle but forgets to add tea in his cup, he will reward the attempts by paying for a manicure. He loves how his little bimbo wife keeps up her sexy appearance. Her nails are always manicured, makeup plastered on her face and wearing beautiful dresses for around the house. Whenever he has a meeting with foreign leaders Tobirama will bring his hot wife along to show off. She is basically arm candy for him, simply sitting by his side and completely void of any thoughts as the leaders discuss trade agreements. They think she is too beautiful for a stern man like Tobirama, but they can tell she is a dumb little thing. It is laughable how intelligent Tobirama is, borderline genius, and his wife can barely count on her own manicured fingers. Often people will ask the couple questions about their marriage - but the poor wife can barely stutter out a word without Tobirama having to complete her sentences and remind her what certain words mean. He knows what everyone is thinking; and they are correct, when they say there is not a single thought behind those empty pretty eyes.

The best thing about having such a dumb wife is the amazing sex. If there is one thing his wife excels at it is making Tobirama cum harder than anything before. Her dumb horny brain always wants his cock and practically craves him daily. She can’t go to bed without being fucked–even more stupid, if possible. Tobirama often has to make time in his busy schedule just to subdue his wife with his cock. Her brain is only filled with two thoughts, cock and cum. Tobirama is happy to supply his wife with what she needs, buying all the latest Konoha fashion and paying for weekly manicures - but they come at a cost. If she is not going to be a good housewife the least she can do is offer up her slutty cunt. She doesn’t need a brain to make Tobirama cum. Tobirama’s wife is only useful when she offers her pussy after a long day of work. Her glossed cherry lips slobbering all over his cock, mascara tears running down those stuffed cheeks full of his dick and cum. He tries not to implicate too many complicated positions in their sex life because he wants to make it easier on his little wife. Every night ends the same, with Tobirama’s wife fucked beyond comprehension and pussy stuffed full of his cum. She can barely remember her own name, only Tobirama’s. He is apprehensive about impregnating his wife - he doesn’t want stupid kids after all. Although, Tobirama does like the thought of coming home to a wife that is pregnant and fat but doesn’t understand how or where babies come from

It's Great to see you!

(AU Miles and Hobie dated but the two broke up. The trope of this one shot is Two loving people wanting to be together, but couldn't and they move on with their lives, yet they still love each other. No Spider-man Universes)

Miles being eighteen years old, he had a lot of time to think about his future. There were thoughts of careers, lifestyle, and his relationship with Hobie. The two dated ever since he was fourteen while his Hobie was fifteen. They were young, dumb and in love.

Now, it's time for him to focus on his future. Same with his boyfriend, Hobie, who dropped out of high school in the last year to focus on his music career. The two argued about this decision, to be honest, Miles didn't think Hobie would make it into the industry. Everything is so cut throat and strict, the chances are mere luck at this point.

Then, Miles decided to apply to go to Princeton with his best friend, Ganke on a silly dare. And he spend most of his time studying and working.

"Sunflower?" Hobie tapped on his glass window, the teenager was at home studying for exams.

"Bae? Your here?"

"I got sum good news, luv!" Hobie spoke with joy as his boyfriend let him inside. "Oi, is your parents around."

"No, they at work. So what's the good new?" Miles asked, his eyes gleam, "Did you decided to get your GED?"

"No, luv. Pfft, school ain't fur me." He chuckles at that, "No, check this out. Me and my mates finally got signed!"

"Wha-what!" Miles' eyes widen in shock. "No way!" He happily claps and hugs his boyfriend, "Oh my gawd, I'm so happy for you, bae!" He had on a tight maroon shirt and pajama pants on.

"Yeah, Sunflower! You're looking at a Rock-star." He grins widely having his hands in his thick leather jacket. "Now, we can go anywhere! Me and you blow this shitty city and travel. Luv, we can go to California!"

Miles' smile slowly fade, "Wait? You want me to come with you?"

"Yeah! I want my best man to be with me."

"Hobie, I can't. I'm applying to colle-" The punker scoffs, "Luv, forget about it. We can build our life with the money I'm going to make! I'm gonna be a star."

"Bae, I'm so happy for you, I really am! But, I can't do that. I wanna live here, go to school and get my degree." Miles explained, "You know, how much I wanted to go into a field of science."

"Miles, come on." His boyfriend's smile slowly turns to a frown, "How can you want that? You know school is bullshit and why can't you understand I will have money!"

"Yeah, your money! What will I have? I don't want to mooch off you and what if things go bad? Like you spend it all and we have nothing to our name. I won't have a degree or any history with work- I just be a housewife?"

Hobie snickers, "Come on, luv. You won't be a housewife, more like a househusband."

His boyfriend frowns for the moment by the statement then sighs, "Your not listening to me! What will I have in my name?"

"I am, Sunflower!" Hobie getting annoyed, "Why aren't you excited as me? Every other bloke would want this!"

"I don't, Hobie. I have dreams! I want to build a career. I don't want to-" Hobie cut him off, "Do you even love me?"

"How can you say that?" His Sunflower's eyes filled with hurt, "Of course, I love you, Hobie! Why are you getting upset with me!"

"Because your not happy for me- for us!"

"Hobie, I am. I don't want to drop out- not when I'm close to graduating and going to a good school!" Miles sighs, "Baby, trust me. I'm so happy for you." He went over to kiss his Hobie on the lips, "You work too hard and long and deserve it. I love you."

Hobie stares into his honey brown eyes, "I just want us to be together. What if I have to leave? Live hundred miles away!"

Miles stood quiet, he didn't want to talk about this. They still have time to enjoy the rest of his senior year. "Baby, let's not worry about that, now. Later, we'll talk about it." He hugs his punker, "My big star, mi papí chulo, come here. I wanna show you how much I love you." He pulls his boyfriend to his bed after they kissed again.

"I love when you call me, papí chulo, luv." Hobie purrs back.

-After mid-terms-

Miles spend most of his time in study groups and friends to pass their mid-terms. It was so much work, and the amount of reports he had to do for his Spanish Speaking class. It was ridiculous!

Same goes for Hobie and his band being busy performing at small venues, little concerts, making popular music videos for the record label. Hobie would get upset when Miles miss his show or couldn't come because he needed to study or his show was held at a school night.

So Miles was surprised to find his boyfriend waiting for him on a motorcycle, "Yo Sunflower, over here!"

"Hobie, what are you doing here?" Miles was busy talking to his best friend, Ganke and their other friends. The eighteen year old had on a tight crop top, with boot cut floral print jeans and boots. Miles wore earrings and makeup being cute.

"Luv," Hobie let out a chuckle at the bright pink, "What are you wearing on yer face? You look like a clown?" He teased a bit.

Miles blinks in shock at him, then felt a bit insecure. "If I knew you were coming, I could've remove my make-up." He softly said, he pressed his lips together, "I was trying something new."

"Oh luv, I was joking. I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I never seen you wear this before. You know, I never cared about stuff like that." Hobie quickly got off to hug his boyfriend, "It's just... you caught me by surprise. You look like a girl."

"Do I?" Miles' gleam by his words.

"Yeah!" Hobie didn't understood how that made his boyfriend so happy, but he hugs and kiss.

"Bae, what are you doing here?" Miles asked again.

"I want to take you out."

"Oh."

"What's wrong?"

"I have a study gro-" Hobie sucked his teeth in looking annoyed, "This again! You miss my show! Now, you don't want to date me?"

"Baby, I swear I wouldn't miss it but my mid-terms- I needed to study. I had to finish my presentations! And I have a test for History coming up and-" Hobie pulls away, "Fine, go study. I'll fucking leave."

"Hobie, that's not fair. How many times you missed dinner with my parents or our date night over your recordings, and partying." Miles being pissed off. "You act like it's all about you!"

"Me? Excuse me, I took the time from recording to be with you. Sunflower," He got on his motorcycle, "You either come to our date or not?"

Miles growls, "Fine! I'll go with you. You better take me to Tony's Pizza." When they fight, they still want to be together. They never seem to leave off being mad at each other, because they would quickly run to each other.

"Fine, because that's where I was planning to take you, luv!" Hobie fumes back as he let his boyfriend get on the motorcycle wearing a helmet, "Hold on tight!"

"Fine." Miles huffs having his arms around his boyfriend.

The two went to Tony's on Hobie's motorcycle, Miles had to text his study group that he wouldn't make it to their study time. Hobie bought sodas, and a large pizza for them to eat.

Hobie sighs, "Still mad at me?"

Miles slurps his soda through a straw with his sparkling lip gloss leaving a mark on his straw. Hobie smirks being charming, "You know, you look ravishing dress like this."

This made his boyfriend flustered but huffs being cute when he's pouting. "Come on, luv. You're so gorgeous."

"You called me a clown."

"I was only joking! Besides, you make a sexy clown."

Miles snorted, setting his soda down then sighs, "Baby, what are we gonna do? We haven't seen each other and our lives been so busy! We keep missing each others' important events!"

Hobie took a slice of pepperoni pizza to eat, "It's fine, luv. We're both sorry for missing it. I'll be more considerate." He loudly chews and slurps his soda through a straw.

"Hobie..." Miles nervously rubs his arms, "Don't-Don't you think we're holding each other back."

His dark inky eyes snaps back at his Sunflower, he stopped chews, forcing to swallow then set aside his pizza on a paper plate. "Holding each other back? Luv, I fucking love you! You love me. Our love doesn't hold each other back! What are you trying to say?"

"It's just..." Miles took his soda again, to slurp it to keep his throat from being dry. "We are young... we're teenagers and-and you may say you love me now, but when you finally-" Hobie waves him off, "Rubbish! I love you! You will never be a regret, luv." His hand went over to caress his Miles' own soft hands. "Hey, your hands are soft. I've noticed your looking a bit round."

"Maybe stress eating." Miles giggles being nervously drinking his soda. His hand tighten his boyfriend's own rough hands. "I love you, Hobie."

"I love you, too Miles."

-A few weeks later-

Miles was invited to see one of Hobie's concerts, he went with his friends to watch the concert. It was so amazing and fun. His amazing boyfriend being crazy, throwing shit and screaming into the microphone then smashing his electric guitar against the floor causing the crowd to go wild for him.

After the concert, Miles went to meet up his man at the VIP area. The security guard were being so rude to him, even the girls that were crushing on Hobie were whispering cruel words about him. Miles could only frown, and tries to call his boyfriend. His boyfriend's phone went to voice mail, "Hey, bae. The security guard won't let me in since the ticket doesn't match to the ones they sold. Call me." Miles sighs waiting for his boyfriend to come out. Then he went to his friends.

Ganke looks at his best friend, "What happens?"

"They're not letting me in. They think I forge the pass." Miles frowns.

"Did you call him?" Pavtri asked being surprised.

"I did. It went to voicemail." Miles sighs, "It's fine. We should go home. Those jerks were making fun of me." He felt a bit emotional, he took the time to wear a cute outfit; an orange and pink dress with white platform boots and sparkling makeup.

"Who? I'll fucking curse at them!" Gayatri, Pavtri's girlfriend scowls as she spotted the mean girls and went over to curse them out.

Pavtri quickly follow her, to scold along at those mean girls. Ganke chuckles then went to hug his friend, "Hey, it's okay, Miles. We can wait longer."

"No. I'm good. I'm pretty sure he's partying and enjoying himself." Miles looks down at his smartphone to check his boyfriend's social media, his story shows him partying and being with some girls. "I told him, we're holding each other back."

Ganke frowns then hugs his friend. "Come on, let's go home. I'll buy us ice cream?"

"Can I get a double scope?" Miles cutely asked.

"Sure thing!" Ganke gave him his brown coat, "Hey, it's getting cold."

"Thanks, Ganke." Miles wrapped himself with his coat. "We should get the kids?"

"Hahah, yeah. I think that security guard is about to arrest Atri." Ganke saw the Indian American girl shouted and screaming, then she fought at the girls. One of the security guards came at her, then she flip his ass over to the ground. Pavtri shouting at them, too.

"Yeah, we should hurry." Miles looks very worried about this.

"Yeah!" Ganke follows him to get their friends and leave.

At the VIP, Hobie was busy with meeting up his fans, some groupies. Some very cute girls going up to him. He waited for his boyfriend to come in but he never did. "Where the fuck is my Sunflower?" He asked out loud being confused.

"Maybe he left." Karl said.

"Yeah," Riri shrugs, "Maybe it's a long wait.'

"No, I gave him a pass." Hobie got up to check out the door, he asked one of the security guards. They didn't know anything. Hobie sighs, "I should call him."

"Dude, don't fret. Maybe he had to leave early. You said he's been studying so much so maybe that's why." Riri, his good bandmate and friend.

Karl, his best friend nodded, "Yeah, man. Call him later. have fun. Don't let it ruin your night."

"Alright. I will." Hobie did enjoy the rest of the night. It wasn't the next day he found out that his Sunflower wasn't allowed to come in, and he went ballistic toward the security guards for not doing their jobs.

Miles was in his room being busy with his medical records, he look through to make sure things were in order. Then he got a called, "Hey bae."

"Luv, I am so sorry! I didn't- I should've- FUCK!" Hobie muffled through the called sound like he had a hangover.

"Bae, it's fine. I had homework anyway." His answered back.

"I'll make it up to you. I'll take you to the movies or this cat cafe!"

"Ohh, another time, Hobie. I have to go to the doctor's today." Miles explains.

"Huh? Why? Are you sick?"

"No," Miles looks at his papers seeing his insurance coverage on hormonal replacement therapy. Then, covers it with his hands, "Just a check up but I need to check if I'm allergic to Soy."

"Oh no, luv. You got flares?"

"A little." He winced by this little white lie. "Anyway, bae. i have to go- I think my mom is calling. Bye, love you,. Mwah." He quickly hung up and groans by all this. He shouldn't lie, but at this point he felt their relationship is so distant.

Being lonely and left out, not to mention their lives are rapidly changing. It's all too much. "Mijo, are you ready for the doctor's?" His mother's voice rings through the hallway.

"Not yet!" There's no time to think, he needs to focus.

-Another week passed-

Hobie went by the school, he saw all the teenagers running out of class. Then, saw Miles leaning against the locker wall while a tall white boy using his arm above Miles' head, leaning against him. He looks like he's flirting. Miles giggles but shrugs, his boyfriend looking softer than before. "Hahaha. Yeah, Mrs. Rodriguez is wild for that."

"I know, it's shit." The guy scoffs before looking closely at Miles' face, "Hey, you got a piece of hair here." He was about to touch Miles' face until Hobie's hand grab his wrist. "Hey, what da?"

"Hobie?" Miles asked being in shock.

Hobie glaring at the jock, "Aye, go find someone else to flirt with." The jock yank his arm back then scowls at him.

"See yea, later, Miles." He grunts before leaving.

The punker glares at Miles, "Why are you letting that bloke near you? Is it because the gals that were all over me at the concert?" Hobie is the jealous type, he hates when anyone he felt a threat nears his Sunflower.

Miles sucked his teeth, "No! Ugh, Hobie. I tutor him."

"Wait, you tutor that bloke? Since when?"

"Since the beginning of February."

"So all those study groups, he was there?"

"Yeah, we work together. Don't start, Hobie. He flirts with everyone! Leave poor, Ben alone."

"Oh, so now you know his name." Hobie scowls, "I bet, you be mad if I had a girl on my lap."

"That's different. Me and Ben are just friends. Ask Pav. Ask Gwen! Heck, Peni will tell you to your face."

"Please, they'll be by your side since you're here and I'm out there being famous!" Hobie scowls at him, "No man should be that close to you unless your doing something to get his attention."

"Ugh, I'm not doing this now." Miles had a new wave of emotions coming through him, he felt tears in his eyes. "I'm going home! I can't believe you think I'm cheating on you!"

"Miles, wait. Hold up!"

"No, Hobie. I'm leaving!" Miles had enough of this, he had to much on his plate. "Go back to your groupies!"

"Fine, I will." Hobie shouted getting mad, "In fact, I'll send you pictures." He follows his boyfriend being a few steps behind.

"Leave me alone, Hobie." Miles' voice cracks having to cry to himself feeling like shit.

The punker hated seeing his beautiful Sunflower like this. "Luv..."

"No, I don't wanna hear you right now." He snaps at him. Then, he felt Hobie's arms around him, "No, let me go, Hobie. i'm not playing."

"Miles, luv... Sunflower, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you." Hobie hugs him tightly, "I'm so sorry." Miles weeps into his punker's jacket.

"You can be such a jerk, Hobie Brown."

"I'm sorry."

-Another few weeks has passed, closer to finals-

Miles had a lot to think about. The two were have more fights, they were distant and unhappy. They seem to talk about the future but ending it without no resolution.

When the two decided to go to this burger joint, Miles knew what he had to do. Hobie came by to pick him up, they weren't making any conversation.

They ordered milkshakes, burgers and fries. Hobie casually said, "I'll be going to a national tour, luv. I won't be able to see you for a while."

"It's really happening, huh? You're famous." Miles softly spoke.

"Hahaha, yeah. Hopefully get bigger than simple 'Hey, I know you'," He chuckles, "I hope you can see one of my concerts. I can book you to California, that's the last stop. You and me, we can spend time and look at the apartments."

Miles giggles, "Long distant relationship?"

"Yeah, you know you're only for me." Hobie stares at him with loving eyes.

"Hobie... I have to tell you something." Miles gulps being nervous, "You know, I love you and what we have it's pure, Special! You're my other half, mi alma! Mi amor!"

"Yeah?" Hobie looking concerned, he sat up straight from the booth he's sitting on. Across his beautiful partner.

"You know, we are having a drastic change in our lives. I'm finally gonna graduate and I got three schools already accepting me. Another one on the way," Miles sighs being so shaky, "I know, I'm going to be super busy with school. I know you are doing all these tours, making music, and seeing and meeting new people. Heck, I'm sure at times you're holding yourself back because of me, the same with me to you."

"What are you saying, Sunflower?"

"I think we should break up." Miles finally said.

It went silent, Hobie's eyes widen in disbelief. "Hahaha, funny Sunflower. Don't joke like that." His voice forced into laughter sounding joyful then his hand touches his face getting worried. "You got me." A weak tone.

Miles finally look at him with those serious honey-brown eyes and pout. "You're not joking? You really want to break us up?" His boyfriend in shock being panicked, "Why? Is that fucking Ben bloke?"

"Hobie, no. You know, this is more than just Ben." Miles finally said, "I think we need to separate. We won't be able to survive if we keep going. We keep arguing, distant- I... We need to be single."

"Need to be single. This sounds like you want to shack up Benny boy, eh?" Hobie getting mad.

"Hobie, you are going on tour! You're telling me you're not tempted with all those pretty girls and hot guys? Hobie, I know you want to go crazy and party to your fullest."

"I love you!"

"I love you, too and it's not enough! Where we're at is not enough and if we go down this path- I just know we'll regret it." Miles hugs himself, "I wanna have fun, too. Go to college parties, make friends but I don't want to be your boyfriend then all of sudden, I catch you cheating on me."

"It won't happen. I swear!"

"What about the concert? The VIP? If you really cared about me being there you would've answer my phone call and be there." Miles sighs, "Hobie, it's the little things, too. I miss you and I don't want a long distance."

"Okay, so you're blaming me? What about you? You got mad for every moment about your study time and I can see why, because of Ben!" Hobie scowls.

Miles sniffs going to grab a napkin, "How can you be so fucking mean?" He wipe his eyes, "Why can't you see the truth? I'm eighteen. Your nineteen! You're going to be a famous rock star while I'm going to college! We keep fighting and fighting and I'm tired of this. It's not fair. Okay! I can't even have you at prom because you're busy! I want to have fun, have my experience! I know, you feel the same way."

Hobie held back his tears, "I can't believe this is over. What happens to love conquers all and this bullshit of being together in the future."

"So you're telling me, you'll be fine giving up the partying, the sleeping around, while focusing on me? What if I have a special event on your important concert or you win an award? Or we make plans and it's always push aside! You know, this is a lot?" Miles wipes his final tears. "Hobie, I love you so much. You don't know how much I love, you're my Moonflower, mi amor. I want you to be happy, but I know I can't make you happy- not right now." He grabs his boyfriend's hands, "You will always be my soulmate."

He looks into those dark eyes seeing his Hobie filled with hurt. His punker sighs looking exhausted, "I know. I'm sorry, Sunflower. Things haven't been well with us." His hand gripped tightly on Miles's hands, "I thought I was being selfish... I wanted us, I love you. You are my everything. You're my Sunflower- fuck, I even wrote that song of you."

"Sunflower became your hit single." Miles giggles, smiling at him. "Hobie, I know. I know. But we'll be fine."

"What if we never see each other again? Or we just... never got back together?"

"Only time can tell." Miles softly said, "Even if all that happen, your still my soulmate."

"You're mine, too." Hobie nodded, "I fucking love you so much."

"Me too."

Hobie saw their food on the table, "Let's go back to my place and I wanna show you how much I love before... before we officially end it."

Miles giggles, "Alright."

The two left the burger joint with their take-out. The two spend their times in Hobie's bedroom kissing, touching, feeling each other one last time. Hobie pulls away from their kiss, he smells his boyfriend's scent, "You smell good... sweeter."

"Heh, really?"

"Yeah, you're so soft." Hobie worries Miles was stressing over his classes, maybe gaining weight because his muscles were much leaner. He feels so soft.

"Bad?"

"No, never. You're always beautiful to me." He purr kissing him back.

Miles let out a purr with his arms wrapping around his boyfriend's neck, the bed sheets semi-covering them. They were in love, in passion, it was bittersweet. It was the last time they share their bodies, showing their love.

After that, Miles graduated from high school, Hobie had sent him a bouquet of Sunflowers with a letting saying, "I'm proud of you, Sunflower. XOXOXO Hobie." Miles smiles happily at the gift that he had the sunflowers dried up and made it into a necklace. He got a full ride to Princeton University.

As for Hobie, he went on tour, soon his popularity sky rocket with a much large fanbase. His charms, his looks got him into modeling, and movies. He was involved in a lot of collabs with famous artists, celebrities and talk show host. His band had reached the top Billboards, winning many awards.

Yes, the two had achieved their dreams, over time they forgotten about each other. Life, new friends, new drama got them so focus that anything about high school became a memory. Yet from time to time, they feel they lack in the love compartment. They would think back wondering the 'What if?'

-Ten years later-

The Punk star was busy walking in a mall being twenty nine years old, a tall man wearing leather jacket and pants, thick combat boots, and shredded crop top. His hair long in dreads and gold cuffs. New piercings on his face and ears. Wearing thick Sunglasses, "Oi, what does Manny want? I'm at the mall I'll buy him- what do you mean no? Don't be like that, Mindy! Ugh, ain't you a peach, darling." He scowls at his Smartphone, "Oh, so it's about the check, huh?"

The Punker was getting looks here and there, luckily there was barely anyone in the mall. It's a school day and it's morning, Hobie kept walking still on the phone. Then without a thought, someone passed him, with a very familiar scent.

A scent of fresh tropical shea butter, coconut and floral perfume. It took him a moment trying to figure out where that scent came from, or who does it remind him of someone. Hearing his baby's mama on the phone, he said, "No, 'am listenin'."

Once he speaks, the person that pass him by quickly turns over, "Hobie?" An odd feminine voice, he never heard before yet it felt familiar.

The Punker turns around, his eyes on the female figure. She had long box braids hair, wore a mint green long sleeve, and blue jeans with some white shoes. She looks at him with a kind smile as she hold the brown strap of her purse. "Long time no see." She had this big beautiful smiles with those gorgeous big honey-brown doe eyes.

Hobie's eyes widen from shock, he stares at the figure as if time was froze. No words came out of his mouth, the voice of his baby's mama ring his ear. The female figure gave a weak shrug. He quickly hung up his Smartphone slowly going up to the woman, "Sun-sunflower? Oh my god... is that really you?" His mouth opens before thinking.

"In the flesh." She giggles.

Hobie hugs her tightly having to twirl her around, "SUNFLOWER! It's fucking good to see you!"

"Ahh," She squeals being picked up and twirl making her laugh, "Moonflower! You causing a scene!"

"So-sorry." He put her down, his hands on her shoulders, "Wow. Just wow!" HIs Miles... is a woman? "Luv, your-your a bloody lass?" He asked out loud still in shock, "I could hardly recognize you."

Miles giggles, "It's Mimi, now. Actually, I'm a trans-woman, Hobie."

"What? Since when?" Hobie gawks at his Miles completely look like a woman.

"Um..." She bites her bottom lip, "After we broke up, I think? I actually started taking hormones at the end of my senior year. I didn't tell you because I was still figuring myself out."

"You know, I would accept you, Sunflower. I would be supportive." Hobie frowns at this, "Is this why you were wearing make up, tight clothing, dresses?"

"Yeah! You're a fast thinker, Hobie Brown." She smiles at him with her honey-brown eyes gleaming with joy.

Hobie felt his body going pink, his beautiful Sunflower. "You're gorgeous! As a man and as a woman."

"Awe, you're making me blush." Mimi could feel her heart pounding against her chest, her hands sweaty. It been so long, she did miss her Hobie.

"You're so beautiful, I knew I smelled you when you passed by me," Hobie's eyes can go heart shape, his heart beating against his chest. His stomach filled with butterflies. Old love rising again. His soulmate is right here.

"Ohh creepy," She teased when she raised her left hand. That's when Hobie saw an engagement ring.

"Wait... you're married?" Hobie asked, his eyes squinting at the ring. Looks cheap. He felt upset seeing that. Not when his Soulmate was finally here.

"Oh, this." She forced at smile at her ex-boyfriend, "I'm engaged with Ganke. Remember him?"

"Wait, what? Him?" Hobie felt a wave of jealousy.

"Mmhhmm, we got engaged a few months ago. We work at Alchemax, and boy, my boss is this grumpy guy." Mimi quickly wanted to change the topic.

"You work at that horrible greed corporation." Hobie asked being playfully.

"Hahaha, yeah. My salary is amazing and my boss is so accepting to me. Well, his dad wasn't so nice and very handsy with me, but thankfully, my boss protects me." Miles explained, "Anyway, how are you? You were talking to someone."

"Uhh, ah! I'm actually a dad, and that was my baby mama." Hobie put his hands in his black leather pants pocket,

She gasps being in shock and happy, "Do my ears deceive me? Hobie Brown, you're a dad!"

"Yeah, I have a lil sprog. Here, let me show you." He chuckles, pulling out his phone to show some photos. "Look here."

"Oh my gawd, he looks like you! Awe, a little Hobie. That's so adorable." She said happily, "and the Mrs?"

"Ha, me and her are on and off. Right now, off. Being famous takes a token with relationships. Especially all she wants is a big fat check."

"Awe, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you two work things out." Mimi rubs Hobie's arm then hugs him, "Ohh, it's great seeing you."

"You too, Sunflower." He lifts her chin up to stare into her eyes. He wanted to take her away, be with her and only her. But... they have their own lives, their own responsibilities. She's engaged and he has a son. "Luv, are you happy?"

"I am. Are you?"

"Yes."

She smiles at that with her eyes shimmering, "I'm so glad. That's all I wanted from you."

"You're still my Soulmate, Sunflower." He hugs her tightly never wanting to let her go.

"You're mine, too." Mimi hugs him, she smells his wonderful scent; cigarettes and musk. "My Moonflower."

Hobie didn't want to let her go. Then, her phone rings, "It's Ganke. He's probably worried, I should get going. I need to buy his dad's birthday gift." She pulls away with sorrow eyes, she did miss her Hobie. "It's really great to see you."

"Same to you." Before she left, he stops her with his hand holding her own, "Wait... do you think- what I mean-" He let out a sigh, "If only we can stay together forever, Sunflower."

"I feel the same way." She stare into his eyes seeing him yearn for her. "We will be fine, we always love each other."

"You right." He sighs letting go her hand, then hugs, again. "I really love you."

"I love you, too." She said to him as she hugs him back.

When they let go, they went on their separate ways. Hobie would look back to find Mimi walking away, the same did Mimi. Mimi kisses her beaded necklace that she had it made from the Sunflowers Hobie gave her, she kept it all these years.

Their lives went on, Hobie eventually marries his baby mama, but it was never for love. His love, his heart belong to his Mimi. He's still a famous star.

Mimi married Ganke, and the two live a wonderful life. She's happy with her love with her best friend, but it never compares to her love with Hobie. The two never had kids.

The two live in memories of their love as life went on. Not a day went by when they don't think about being together or the possibility of holding on to each other.

They are Soulmates after all.

Griffin Stagg Headcanons

Headcanons for the youngest boy in the cast: Griffin Stagg. No reader. Will update as I think of more.

TW for bullying, kidnapping, violence, death, gore (mentioned), does teeth count?.

Griffin is max eleven years old; probably ten. He's easily the youngest of the group. In fact, I headcanon he's a few months younger than Gwen. He uses this to his advantage, though, always bragging about how he'll live longer than her because he's younger. Not quite how it worked out, unfortunately.

I headcanon he's got an older brother who went to university/college recently before his kidnapping/death. He was pretty close with his brother; he always took Griffin out to play games or get food or just hang out. His brother was his closest friend, considering he barely had any friends of his own. His brother immediately came back home after he went missing to look for him, too.

This doesn't stop typically sibling fights, though. If you read my headcanon on who's the biggest tattletale, Griffin is number one. And his brother is not exempt from that. Growing up, they would constantly threaten to tell on each other for stuff and kept their word about it, too. Still, they always felt at least a little bit guilty about it, and would apologise and try to get each other out of trouble if the punishment was truly that bad.

Since his older brother's in college, his parents are on the older side. I don't know why but I feel like his mother would have arthritis in her hands, so as a little kid he had to be careful to not yank her around too hard. His father, on the other hand, is as fit as anything. They both take on pretty stereotypical roles in the family; his mother being a bit of a housewife (she still has a job, though) and his father doing all the handiwork.

Griffin's also had a lot of pet fish growing up, partly because he's a bit scared of dogs and is allergic to cats. They've always been some variation of goldfish or fighter fish, and always have the most classic names possible. "Goldie" or "Sunshine" or "Bluey" or some name based on some famous boxer were the most common. Strangely, no matter how similar they looked, he could always tell them apart. Or so he thinks, at least.

However, life wasn't all Lesley Gore's Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows. He was bullied a lot during his early years of school for having no friends. In turn, the bullying pushed people away from wanting to be his friend because they didn't want to join in on getting bullied. It only really died down because Griffin just didn't become a fun target after a while. He was too boring and didn't have as much of a reaction as the bullies wanted. He wasn't emotionless to it--don't get me wrong--but he just wasn't as explosive as they wanted.

Still, people didn't really want to be his friend after it. Griffin wasn't exactly considered cool either, so that tarnished his reputation a bit. He pretended to like being left alone, but it did get to him. Still, he's a "two's company, three's a crowd" type person. He just wants one friend outside of his family. Is that really too much to ask?

Ankle-biter of a child. If he gets forced into a fight his first weapon of defense is his teeth. Will sink those guys into whatever he can get to first. And they're sharp, too. He will draw blood if he's not careful.

Speaking of ankles, when he was a little kid he'd cling to his mother's leg when being dropped of at kindergarten/preschool. He'd cry and cry about having to go (something that would come back to haunt him in the future). Griffin definitely had some separation anxieties as a kid. Nowadays he's just lonely. Poor guy.

This kid loves candy apples. What more can I say? They're tasty. It's his favourite treat.

He also is a big Halloween fan. He loves to watch whatever horror movies his parents will let him. He barely even gets scared during them. The only thing he doesn't like is massive gore. It makes him feel uncomfortable. Though, he also likes to dress up the skeletons in his front yard with silly outfits. And there's always the love of trick-or-treating, too.

He gets good grades naturally. He's in an easier stage of school, so he'd definitely have to study more in future grades, but for now he's cruising.

Okay, now for some I'm taking from @tnmdfhgkg. 1), He'll do anything for a dollar (a dollar was worth more back then okay). 2), he's a shit-talker about other people, but 3), he's very nice once you get to know him. 4), he gets a lot of bug-bites during summer (mainly mosquitoes), and 5), he's a messy eater. Oh, and 6), he's the silliest goober in town; takes nothing seriously when he's in a goofy mood (always). Hope it's okay to tag you!

Will update this as I think of some more!

Idk how you think about him that's why I said most jkkrs.

If you check other blogs you can see them going : Jimin is staying back because he want to support JK's debut. While JK is not enlisting because obviously he's young and he's on his way to become a pop star. As if the only reason jimin still active is to support JK. They act like Jimin is not a prominent artists himself. Like stop protecting your housewife image onto him.

We can always see some jkkrs going "I wonder whether Jimin will travel to support JK" whenever some overseas show is announced. Like what ? Is Jimin some cheergirl of JK ? If he travel, good for them. But stop always expecting him to shows next level support when JK didn't even attended one performance of him in korea. All he did was sat at his house and watched some JM contents and it's biggest support in their eyes.

See Jimin do support JK but that's not his whole personality. He's staying back because he's a very in demand solo artist. He's staying back to make music, dance and release stuffs for fans. He's staying because he want to spent more time with his friends and family. He's staying back because he's only 28. Along with all these.. he also support JK. JK's album is NOT the sole reason for Jimin not enlisting 🚶‍♀️

JK is not Jimin's everything but just a part of him. Some jkkrs make it seems like Jimin is just JK's partner. Nope..he has a huge career, a big star himself, he have his own commitments, he have his family and friends.

He's staying to support JK's career???

And what of his own career???

Which Joker said that??????

A grown ass adult made those statements about Jikook- Jimin???? Wow.

Personally I have not come across any Jikooker make such statements. If I I I will clown them hard😭💀

"Is Jimin some cheer girl of JK" did you just ask that?

Ooohhhh kay you are equally as flawed honey💀💀💀

I think you and those delulu jokers sit on the extreme ends of the same table.

Like I agree with everything you've said, Jimin does not exist to be a side character in JK's story, he is himself A MAIN CHARACTER, A FULL MAN IN HIS OWN RIGHT WITH HIS OWN UNIQUE LIFE PATH, GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS.

But he's not all about work work work work.

He's a human being with people he loves and those who love him. He is a brother, a son, a friend and a lover to others as well.

He is kind supportive and generous by his nature so I don't understand why you would find it ridiculous that anyone would wonder if he would support JUNGKOOK in the same way and manner he's shown up for and supported- consistently supported him in the past as well as others he is friends with.

He was there for Hobi, he was there for Taemin, he was there for Suga- why are you questioning why he would be there also for Jungkook?

Ooohh you agree on this thank God. For a sec I thought you think jokers are delulu for saying Jm supports Jungkook. Because that's not even an opinion it's a fact.

He is in the prime of his time- as he said, but I don't even think it's his prime yet. He's in the precursor of his prime time. The eve of is uprising. His career is barely starting. He is an idol for all season. This is the prelude.

He's in demand. He is making moves for himself. He's got a Hollywood movie cameo to film, film scores, and a whole concert to do on his own.

I find shippers who don't indivualize them and those that hyper individualize them quite toxic. X

[princelylove]

Hello prince, are you doing alright?, is all better from the surgery? i know is been sometime but i still wanted to check on that :D

May i please request for a stressed out darling who plays 'housewife' for Narancia just because they can't take the disorganization he has on? like darling cleaning even the knife Narancia uses to attack people and cooking warm foods because they can't take what the boy has been eating, i would smack him with my chancla and cook warm foods for him just because i can't take that unhealthy life style he has going on "Nara did you just you came from a mission and hugged me? go take a warm bath now or i'll make you, i will be waiting for you at the table be quick or the food will go cold" i do not fear his knife, he better take a bath when coming 'home' or i will bath him without a hint of shame or embarrassment. Sorry to bother and thank you, Your Highness hope this doesn't annoy you or anything English is not my mother tongue ^_^'

All better from the surgery, dear anon. I'm up and walking and talking again. I'm still adjusting to some recent medical 'revelations,' let's call them, but I'm getting by. Don't develop a pain disorder, it's more annoying than anything else.

Well. 'Housewife' is a funny term for what you've described, anon, because to me, it looks like you're just mothering him. I could delve into a whole digression about how women in heterosexual relationships can take on a role as a second mother to the man, but... I don't want to stress myself out thinking about how awful that sounds. I'm not fond of mama's boys in the slightest.

Narancia would probably go for motherly types. Even if he has Bruno- feminine or masculine- he's still looking for a motherly darling because he just likes it. He's at that age where he can't really voice why he likes it, he'd just say "uhh 'cause it's hot" if he was asked.

But you and I both know what an Oedipus complex is. I hate to use any of Freud's work, but I've taken too many psych. classes to not reference it a little.

In Freud's opinion, which from this point on I'm going to be referring to as "The Psychoanalytic Theory," there's five stages of development that you go through when you're a baby to sexual maturity. There's this thing called the subconscious, and to put it simply, all the things you repress and don't wanna think about go there.

I'm only going to be focusing on two sections of the five stages of development today, the first being: the first. This one's called the Oral Stage.

When you go through a stage, you're going to either resolve it or fail to. When you're in the oral stage, you just wanna get your mouth on everything because you're a baby and that's how you settle that curiosity. New toy? Shove it in your mouth. Mommy talking to me? Eat her hair. You get it.

When you fail to resolve a stage, it gets shoved into your subconscious, and you develop a fixation. An oral fixation is normally shown through excessive biting, chewing on things such as pens, kissing items that aren't meant to be kissed, and even smoking.

The third stage of the five is called the Phallic Stage.

Do you know what happens when you fail to resolve the Phallic Stage, the stage where you identify with your same sex parent and notice the opposite sex parent is, in fact, the opposite sex?

You get an Oedipus Complex. If you're a boy, anyway. Freud liked to ignore women. I think there's a name for the feminine equivalent, but I don't remember at the moment.

And, when you fail to resolve both the Oral and Phallic stages, you get Narancia Ghirga.

He's so, so annoying about it. He doesn't even realize he has it- come on, every guy wants a babe that knows how to cook and wants to take care of you! He's not weird 'cause he likes how women are supposed to be. (He got smacked after saying that, don't worry.)

When he comes home to his darling cooking and cleaning and all of the shit he absolutely never wants to do 'as a man,' he's totally stoked, in his words.

Narancia will take your chancla gladly if it means you really love him- hey, he can take it. It's just a sandal, there's no real danger- ow. Ow. Ow. Hhholy shit. Ow. Babe. Ow.

Hey!✨

Do you think that if Naruto’s parents would never die, he would be as spoiled and bratty as Boruto? (I mean hate for father because he works too much etc.)

Hi Nonee 💕

No because that would be a really bad way to introduce the Naruto-verse to an audience. It wouldn't work at all.

Naruto was bratty and a troublemaker. He pulled pranks because it was the only way to gain attention from people since they were all avoiding him. Negative attention is still attention.. and to the mind of a neglected child who lives in solitude that's a reward as it is acknowledgement to their existence. And so his behavior made sense. Boruto needed some sort of plot-point to get his story going. If you objectively look at his situation, without knowing anything about Naruto or its world and how it operates and this is the first time you're introduced to it then his father becomes kind of an asshole. He neglects his family while instantly having time to meet up with his best friend Sasuke. He distances himself emotionally from Boruto by telling him he can't call him "dad" in his office but needs to call him "Hokage" like everyone else, forgets important dates like his daughters birthday, does the bare minimum by sending shadow clones over, doesn't have meals at home but prefers to stay at his office and eats cups of instant ramen instead. He counts headbands and ignores Shikamaru's plea's to go home. So- Boruto acts similarly like his father did when he was a child as is depicted by the pranks that are shown, but for different reasons. Keyword here though, which you've pointed out too is: spoiled. He acts spoiled.

So would Naruto do the same?

First, Naruto's behavior now doesn't fit to his character in the sense that if he genuinely wanted a family of his own, meaning "wife and children" which he never said, "family" can mean many things- in his own words:

...then he would never treat them this way. There are characters he sees as family and he treats them very differently. Kishimoto has helped write material where Naruto was coming home very happy to Iruka and his parents (movie scripts) and that was a big deal!!! Him preferring cup noodles instead of a warm meal... must make you wonder why that is.. yeah? This "sunshine" family in general doesn't make any sense whatsoever. So, force a character into an out-of-character situation and it gets messy.

Naruto wouldn't act the same as Boruto because Kushina wouldn't let him.

Hinata acts passive and in all those years doesn't stand up for neither her kids in that regard or Naruto. She just lets that hatred fester.. Why? Probably because there is no emotional connection between her and Naruto anyway, they're married now and she "loves" him, that's all that matters, right? When Naruto is home he doesn't sleep with her, he sleeps either in another room or crashes on a couch. When she served him tea, there is a romantic drama playing on the tv that she gets emotional over whilst Naruto gets bored to death and falls asleep at the table. They don't have meals together and can't even communicate normally as they have nothing to talk about, nothing in common, there is no connection. Nada. As a creator you can't even fake that. Even Boruto doesn't communicate with them, instead he plays games on his own.

Naruto's entire development was never written for him to end like this. He went from a lonely kid eating cup ramen.. to a lonely adult eating cup ramen. From spoiled milk to having a spoiled kid. So. If Minato and Kushina were still alive.. Naruto would have an entirely different upbringing, perhaps different goals even. Because it isn't just about the character. Minato and Kushina have a good relationship so Naruto would grow up in a more loving home I'm sure of that. We don't have much to go by but 'Road to Ninja' was partly written by Kishimoto (whatever that means), and here Naruto was seen with his parents.

Minato here isn't Hokage but is between Shinobi "duty" still at home playing housewife, an adorable husband and takes care of Naruto. (Menma)

They're both present on his birthday.. (of course.)

After Kushina hugs Naruto, Kakashi points out again how loving they are as a family and everyone knows it. Even in the Manga itself their dynamics are a world of a difference from those few panels we have. I cannot see Naruto ever act spoiled in a bratty way if he had his parents. They'd communicate about the matter and come to an understanding between them.

Boruto just follows a script none of us incl. him wanted ig.

I'm new here and I am actually scared of how obsessive people are. Sam is not even a big thing. But his fandom is up there with Kristen and Rob, Directioners and other extremists when it comes to sheer delusion. Usually all these people come with already decided agenda and whatever little tidbit comes out they will make up story around it to fit their agenda perfectly. Man could be tied to lie detector and deny all their delusions and they will find a way around that as well - it's very much like talking to a bot.

As someone who only found out Sam Heughan exist recently and went down tumblr rabbit hole, here's what I've gathered about him:

When Outlander started, quite opposite to what ES think - He and Cait were definitely incouraged by studio to go heavy on flirting in promos and sell the show in that way. They're in TV show based on love between their characters so it only makes sense to carry those thing into promo as well. He wasn't part of a boy band so they would need him to be the heartthrob and single as ES clams. Anyone with basic knowledge of PR would've known this. Also these two are obviously friends but they're too different for romance in RL. I won't even dabble into what kind of person both of them would have to be to fit into ES stories.

He's 43 year old actor whose primary mistake is working with friends who are probably middle-aged as he is. Why I even say this is because I've noticed both from just looking at his social media, the way he posts and does promos and from comments here, how much his age shows (most people perceive it as cheesiness), and in his business ventures you can clearly see his team is bad. His age shows in the way he uses technology, BIG TIME, I go to his profile and feel like I'm on my uncle's feed (my uncle is 5 years older than him and also deeply in midlife crisis). You guys find it cheesy and fake but that's just his generation and technology, he's a bit awkward and clearly introverted, also has very British/Scottish sense of humor which (as I've seen for myself) translates very differently to other Europeans, but especially to Americans. There's nothing wrong with any of it, in fact to me that's the best part of him, and that's where his team is completely messing up. Instead of using all of it and adjusting content to him, make it more relatable and original - they pray on his popularity as Jaime Fraser, still stuck on the same image of him they wanted to present 10 years ago (and the way internet worked 10 years ago), instead of evolving with his age and focusing on branching him out of Outlander, adjusting content to his true nature so he doesn't constatly have to put on oh so fake persona for promo and spam with shameless sale pitchs. He's not blameless or a victim in all this, don't get me wrong on that - but he fell in basic trap of getting in business with friends who obviously are not creative people and have found their golden cow, so they need him to keep milking - his team is so blatantly unimaginative, lazy, can't read the room or follow trends. - that's why I think they're as well middle-aged and not truly professionals - older generation are simply not as adaptive to today's technology led world. I also don't think he enjoys it, especially being hunted by desperate housewifes part and doing promo just for that audience. It probably was fun at the beginning but 10 years later NOPE. Now he's a hamster on a wheel. Don't even let me start on Sassenach, that is the most blatant example of everything I've said about his team. It might be his idea to name it that, but it shows true face of people around him that nobody told him - long term looking it's a terrible idea. He focused on Outlander instead of Scotland, and even when he tries to make it about Scotland it falls flat because his partner friend has tied him in a contract by which he's supposed to focus on American market. It's a JOKE. But just next time you see him shirtless with a bottle know where it's coming from 😂

Now the dating life. If it wasn't for tumblr the only women he was officially linked to were MM and MC in past 10 years. And I would've thought the man is a monk. On the other hand on tumblr he's linked to anyone and anything that stands/sits next to him. But even if every single one of them were dates he's still well under the radar. He dates around and since there's no complaints from these women it's nobody's buisness (beside the one who blamed him for gaslighting but that is equally on that girl who just couldn't get the clues that a guy wasn't really into her).

I do believe that Outlander takes big toll on his love life, certainly doesn't help his abandonment issues and as long as he's having so many projects on his hands he won't settle for anyone. Also Iooking at girls he's been connected to I don't think he can actually connect to any of them, too young and superficial and he's too akward, introverted and not the best at expressing himself. He probably gets bored out of his mind too quickly and they're there for sugar daddy ride. But since I don't think he's truly looking for anything serious atm, no harm in it as long as both sides are in agreement. Also people need to seriously chill, a man and a woman can actually be friends and have good time on lunch and dinner or a walk without any transactions (except to restorant/caffee). He does not f everyone in his proximity with vagina between her legs. Other blogs claim he doesn't even like vaginas 😅

I understand that following him for as long as you do, you have probably seen lots of moments of hypocrisy and cheesiness and whoring and shilling but reading some of the comments I see pattern of people who have already made their mind so he's "Sam the whore", "Sam the husband", "Sam in the closet", "Sam the Salesman", "Jesus Sam King of Man", (mix and match as you like), and just spew often very hateful things in accordance to the role they asigned to him. So much energy and emotions over someone they don't know and doesn't affect them in any way. Wish people could be less judgmental, at the end of the day we don't know anything and could be entirely wrong. Imagine if your life was picked apart and judged the way you do here based on heresy and snippet. Not a comfortable spot and there's no winner there.

I like your blog because it's the most objective one and you're readers are more or less objective as well. This is very new experience for me but in just few weeks I've seen so much nonsense about this man that I had to say something. I usually don't have interest in any type of fandoms or celebrity fan pages and that I'm saying anything is really a compliment to you because usually fandoms are so far of reality that I simply don't bother to comment - I'd have more meaningful conversation with a wall. So I simply leave asap. You seem openminded so I felt free to say something.

Sorry about the long ass post, just felt the need to unload before I leave this la la land as well.

Well well... that's a very long farewell for someone new must say 😂

But yes, this fandom is sheer craziness, so much you did figure out. I do oppose to connecting age to technology. I'm older than him, but, if i may say so myself, very savvy when it comes to technology and (modern) digital marketing. That's pure a form of interest and time and hasn't got anything to do with the age of a person. He just didn't gather the right people around him for that (or just wants to control things too much himself). I agree his people (and perhaps he himself isn't creative enough, but again, that has nothing to do with 'middle aged' or any age imho.

He's been linked to a good number of women. Some are perhaps nothing more than a lunch or a coffee. With some others it's hard to believe he acted like a monk. Well, it's all his choice for sure, I don't actually care that much. Care more to put out here what is going on with proof so everyone can see and use their rationale to draw conclusions from it. But everyone does so from her/his own cultural background, believes etc. One can hardly ever change that (and I wont). All here for the good discussions, speculations, exchanges of thoughts, and from time to time the fun factor 😉

Anyway, thanks for the compliment... I guess 😊

3 5 7 and 8 for the httyd ask game 👀

>:}

3: Did you play School of Dragon? If so, what dragon(s) did you have?

Sadly, I did not get to play SoD. I wanted to but every time I tried making an account, I could never load the game. Probably a mixture of bad internet connection and a PoS mobile device, but still.

5: What type of dragon do you think best matches your personality?

Terrible Terror or Night Terror, maybe a Smothering Smokebreath. I'm a goblin menace that will snatch food and trinkets but if you feed me and treat me nice I'll curl up beside you and purr. I've also a tendency to get a little more than confused and I will naturally find myself in trouble with the bigger ones around me.

I also work best with a pack of my own kind >:]

8: Who are your favourite characters? Why?

Viggo Grimborn is top httyd favorite. He's savvy, malicious, and charming to the point where I want to simultaneously give him all of my possessions and devotion and punch him repeatedly in the face.

Second favorite, Snotlout, actually. He's got self esteem issues and the man can sew. He's a dumbass but his heart's usually in the right place. He also wrote a book, sang songs to a baby Deathsong, and has a crack sense of humor, even if it's not fitting for the moment. He also has a very poor relationship with his father (myself to my mother) that, if taken in a serious direction instead of the lighthearted one in the shows, would've been a serious issue psa about mental issues and the problems of a bad parent.

Third, Tuffnut. He's just goober and I live for that.

7: Do you have any OCs? If so, talk about their appearance, backstories, and personalities.

You made a serious mistake. I have quite a few OCs for HTTYD alone.

First and Foremost, I'll introduce my namesake, Amyra Fierceblade.

Amyra Fierceblade has been my httyd sona for a long time, my second oldest httyd oc in fact. She and Shadowstrike (who I'll talk about in a minute) were my first two httyd ocs. She is 6'1" (myself standing at a lofty 5'3") and has dark raven hair with deep green eyes. She's snarky, quick witted and rather obsessive with anyone she considers her friend... in a not so good way. She has always had connections with Viggo Grimborn (ofc, my favorite character), and in fact was written as a (very poorly thought out) chief daughter who had a mutual crush on Viggo. Over time, I changed her and her story around so that she went from concerned housewife to rebellious heir and eventually I settled on making her an orphan rascal who stays in the woods, her relation with Viggo going from wife to close friend. They met as teens, Amyra a year older than Viggo, when she threw Ryker into a snowbank because she didn't like his attitude. There's a lot more to this that I'm writing out in my Fanfic Lifeline, but for now I'll just go into further detail lol. Over time Viggo and her grew close, close enough that Viggo ran away to try living in the woods with her, though that didn't last long as Amyra got yoinked by a Razorwhip. She survived, but lived for many years away from most other people, only interacting with them as a sort of "highway" bandit. She does have a dragon, a Deadly Nadder named Shadowstrike, who saved her life from the razorwhip and stayed with her since.

Amyra is ab 37 years old during the events of RttE.

Amyra started as a kind of self insert, though she's changed a lot and now she's just a fun character with a lot of bad traits. Such as possessiveness. In a bad way. That might get explained later though, far far far in LifeLine.

Shadowstrike is a Deadly Nadder and my first httyd OC. She is black and red, a few scars on her but not many. Originally, she could talk, but I've kinda devolved that to be more annoying parroting than conversationalist. She likes hair, dragon root arrows, and stealing various objects from anyone and anything. The softer or the shinier, the better.

Kindorobo is a Speed Stinger oc of mine, orange and green with black stripes. I don't have much about him but he likes to terrorize a local village for gold trinkets and stuff, adorning himself with them. He's a weird fella lol.

Arcane is a Titanwing Bewilderbeast oc, black with red and orange markings. He's chill for the most part, and really doesn't mind other Bewilderbeasts in his presence as long as they don't harass him or his group of dragons. However if he is harassed and there's no stopping this dragon, he will kick some ass. He's had no human encounters so far, since he lives further north than the archipelago, almost to the arctic circle.

Dead Chance is a Light Fury Deathsong hybrid that absolutely hates anything and will kill on sight. There's a lot more to it than just murder happy, she actually has a lot of anxiety and paranoia and found the best way of keeping herself "safe" (it's really not-) is by attacking first, asking questions never. I also wanna work on her a bit but I don't really get the time to.

Clairvoyance is another Bewilderbeast OC, she's much smaller though and has a human companion. She's actually been with several human ocs but I finally decided to add her with Lyra, who I'll talk ab in a minute. Clair doesn't quite have the alpha ability, though she is protective of her human and the night terrors (I'll explain in a minute) she lives with.

Lyra is a teen kid who got adopted by a flock of Night Terrors when she was about five. She also found and helped take care of Clairvoyance. I do not have much more information than that, sadly, but maybe I'll fix that.

Biter is a White Night Terror that's missing a hind leg and is also partially blind. He was mistreated by Dragon Hunters and so he a horrible attitude to anything around him. In a couple of my post-rtte Viggo AUs, he's a companion animal of sorts, sticking with Viggo after he saved him. Of course, that doesn't save Viggo from getting bit by him, hence the name.

Truth is a White (and I say white instead of albino because he's not albino but he is white colored) Night Fury with black markings that stays to himself for the most part. He's also anxious, and tends to flee rather than face conflict. I also need to work on him as well-

Marcus Seinneadair is a prince from a smaller kingdom, mostly agricultural in trade. He's the middle child of three, his father being a decent ruler in most aspects. He's got blue eyes, dark brown hair and he also wears a couple earrings in his left ear. He likes to help people, often going out of his way to help the villages after storms and such, finding survivors, repairing houses and ships and more. He isn't really interested in being an heir to a throne so much as he wants to bring a betterness to the world around him. He also has a severe crush on Viggo Grimborn, who is actually a close friend of his and ally to his father's kingdom. Marcus is also one of the few people that Viggo will let his guard down around. He's also the only Christian oc I have or ever will have and I can tell you that he's (THANKFULLY) not oppressive about it. He learned of the religion from a trader and decided that it wasn't actually that bad of an idea, promoting kindness and treating others with how he'd want to be treated. He isn't sure about the whole "do good and you'll go to heaven!" idea, but he doesn't mind doing good for others just because. There's SOOO much more to this guy but yeah, that's some of it.

Mikael is an OC who I don't like. He's a dragon hunter, but not affiliated with the Grimborns or the Northern Alliance. He has an unrequited crush on Marcus (turned bitter after he rejected him) and spends most his time pouting while hunting. I don't have much more for him.

Alsor, Whose Grim Wrath was Born by Flames is the very very very very distant ancestor of the Grimborns, and also the first human to start the Dragon Hunters. He was given the title by his fighting skills against the dragons (explained in a hot minute below).

And finally, a couple of ocs that I like throwing into the HTTYD world but are perfectly capable of being in their own story. These guys do have magic (lore related, would LOVE to explain) and there are mentions of injuries for Phantom's part.

Teeth Whom Gnash Sharply Upon Her Foes, or Gnash, is a Windripper oc of mine, and the first one. Windrippers are my fanspecies of dragon, which I'd GLADLY go into detail (I have a whole Google document including everything from society and religion[orginal!] to dragon growth and such on-). Gnash is a medium to dark grey dragon with a slightly off-white mane, golden horns and dark green eyes. She is stoic but kind, a warrior of honor. She prefers to be logical, though she is very capable of brute strength if she decides. She was Phantom's partner and her general against fighting humans, that is, until Gnash realised the reason for the fighting was wrong and unethical, and wanted to try to stop it (That is a whole ass explanation). She eventually helped the people fighting Phantom to entrap her, keeping her and the world safe from her actions. Gnash mourns her partner, but she does not want to free a conqueror.

And Finally.

Phantom of the Moonlit Mists, or Phantom, is another WindRipper, with dark, semi transparent scales, green horns and claws, and multicolored eyes (Pink and blue irises, black scleras and white pupils). She is cunning and quick witted, in tune with both her emotions and her logic. She hatched prematurely after her egg was damaged by a human trying to kill her and her siblings, born with a permanent jaw deformation/scarring. She was raised alone by her mother, before being sent with others in her Hive (a pack of WindRippers is called a Hive). She was small, and had a temper to rival a Changewing, which lead to her getting in a lot of fights with other members, except for one. A young Gnash, who was her first and only friend. After several years, Phantom was exiled from her Hive, and eventually she was chased down off a cliff, left to die from her injuries. She was saved by a deity the Windrippers have, the All-Mother respectively, and given the ability to create and weave threads (their form of magic). Phantom and Gnash met up again, and talked about the experience. Eventually, Phantom returned to her old Hive and defeated the previous Queen, taking her place. She still had a fierce grudge against humanity, enough to where she decided to wage an all out war on them for many years, until she was lured into a trap and imprisoned in a statue by Alsor(up above) and Gnash until she can either be redeemed for her actions, or until the blood of the last descendant of Alsor's line is spilled on the stone of her prison itself.

And yes, Phantom has a serious grudge on the Grimborns, to the point where, if she was freed, she would be sadistic towards Viggo in any and all ways possible.

Phantom also has a voice claim! That being GLaDOS, especially from Portal 2 lines (not PotatOS, but just the regular)
