she was exposing them left and right helpppp The Flash #204

[skyiedior]

the 'male loneliness epidemic' and 'friendzoning' - two phrases that scream 'men's problems require urgent attention, while everyone else's struggles are just background noise.' Newsflash: rejection and loneliness are universal human experiences, not exclusive to men. but when men face them, suddenly it's a catastrophic injustice that can only be rectified by granting them unchecked access to women's time, energy, and bodies. the entitlement is real.

let's set the record straight: women aren't responsible for your emotional well-being. we are not obligated to provide you with companionship, sex, or validation. the notion that we're somehow failing you by not fulfilling these expectations is not only absurd but also dangerously entitled. and if you feel like working on yourself to attract the right woman is too much work you should probably try men, it's okay to be gay.

I think what people fail to realize about Iris West and Barry Allen is that their dynamic is 'woman who loves horror and is fascinated by brutal murder' x 'guy who can infodump about blood splatters for half an hour with zero prep'

Like guys she asked him out at a crime scene she's a freak like that.

Arcane fandom you don’t scare us MelJay shippers, we have dealt with this before. A lot of us shipped Allurance, WestAllen, and Arthur x Guinevere before and got the same treatment from the fandom

NEWS FLASH ᥫ᭡ TAEYEON SMAU

NF 22

previous | masterlist | next

The airport was chaos.

Flashing lights, shouting voices, and the constant buzz of cameras clicking filled the air as Y/N stepped through the arrival gate. Fans crowded behind barriers, their cheers echoing through the terminal, but all Y/N could focus on was the pounding in her head. She kept her head down, her mask covering the lower half of her face. But she had to put on a smile.

It was her first public appearance since the hiatus. And it felt suffocating.

The months away had been necessary—life-saving, really—but they hadn’t prepared her for this. For the way the world hadn’t slowed down. For how the pressure came crashing back the second she set foot on familiar ground.

Her manager walked ahead, parting the sea of fans and reporters with practiced ease. Security flanked her sides, guiding her toward the waiting van.

Almost there. Just a few more steps.

But then—

“Y/N! How do you feel about rejoining promotions?”

“Y/N, are you excited to be in GOT the Beat?”

The question cut through the noise like a blade. Y/N’s steps faltered for a split second, her grip tightening around the strap of her bag.

GOT the Beat?

Her heart pounded, a cold wave washing over her. She hadn’t heard wrong. The reporters weren’t speculating—they were stating it like fact.

Her manager glanced back, eyes widening slightly at the tension in Y/N’s posture. But Y/N kept moving, pushing through the last few steps until she was inside the safety of the van. The door shut, sealing her away from the chaos, but the words echoed in her head.

GOT the Beat.

Her breaths came quicker as she pulled her mask down, feeling the cool air hit her skin. Her phone buzzed in her hand—a slew of notifications, articles, fan reactions flooding in. But one stood out.

“SM Entertainment Confirms Y/N to Join GOT the Beat’s Upcoming Comeback Lineup.”

Her vision blurred as she read the headline again. And again.

They didn’t even tell her.

Her own company had announced her involvement in a project she hadn’t agreed to. Hadn’t even been informed about.

And worse—

Her stomach dropped as her eyes skimmed the article, her chest tightening when she saw the list of members.

Taeyeon.

Of course.

Y/N’s throat went dry. Months of distance, of trying to heal, of piecing herself back together—and now SM had thrown her right back into the lion’s den. Right back into the orbit of the person who had broken her without so much as a warning.

Her manager’s voice was gentle, almost hesitant. “Y/N…”

“Did you know?” Y/N’s voice was barely above a whisper, her fingers curling around her phone as her jaw clenched.

There was a beat of silence.

“They… they said they’d brief you when you landed.”

Y/N laughed, but there was no humor in it. Just bitterness. “Of course they did.”

Her manager shifted uncomfortably but didn’t say anything else. There was nothing to say.

Y/N leaned back against the seat, closing her eyes as her pulse pounded in her ears.

GOT the Beat. With Taeyeon.

And she hadn’t even seen it coming.

The van moved smoothly through the busy streets, but Y/N barely noticed. Her mind was too loud—drowning in the echoes of headlines, fan comments, and the bitter truth staring her in the face.

GOT the Beat. With Taeyeon.

It wasn’t just a project. It was constant proximity. Rehearsals. Meetings. Filming. Promotions. Standing beside Taeyeon on stage, pretending everything was fine while the weight of everything left unsaid hung between them.

How was she supposed to do this?

Her grip on her phone tightened as she scrolled through the article again, as if reading it a second—or third—time would somehow change the words. But they stayed the same. Cold. Unfeeling.

“Y/N will rejoin promotions as part of GOT the Beat’s upcoming unit activities.”

They didn’t ask. They didn’t warn her. They just… announced it.

A part of her had known this moment would come. SM wasn’t going to let her sit on the sidelines forever. But this?

Taeyeon.

Y/N’s jaw clenched as her thumb hovered over her messages. There was nothing from Taeyeon. No explanation. No warning. Nothing. Just silence—like always.

A bitter laugh escaped her lips. She shouldn’t be surprised. Taeyeon had perfected the art of avoidance. It was easier to leave Y/N in the dark than to face her. To admit what she had done.

“Do you… want me to reach out to the company?” her manager asked softly, breaking the silence.

Y/N blinked, her gaze shifting to the passing buildings outside the window. The thought of calling SM, demanding answers, felt pointless. They had already made their decision. What was she supposed to say?

“Take me out of the unit?”

They’d never agree. She was too valuable. Her return was buzz—an opportunity they wouldn’t let slip through their fingers.

“No,” Y/N murmured, her voice quieter than she intended. “It’s too late for that.”

Her manager didn’t push, but the concern was clear in her eyes.

Y/N’s fingers hovered over her phone again, this time over Taeyeon’s contact. The name stared back at her, a painful reminder of everything they hadn’t said.

Her thumb hovered, the urge to call, to text—to demand answers—gnawing at her. But what would that even accomplish?

Why didn’t you tell me?

Why did I have to find out like this?

But she already knew the answer.

Taeyeon was a coward.

And maybe… Y/N was tired of being the one to chase after her.

With a sharp breath, she locked her phone and set it aside, ignoring the heaviness in her chest.

Fine.

If SM wanted her back, if they wanted her standing beside Taeyeon again, smiling and pretending that nothing had happened—then fine.

She’d do it.

But this time, she wouldn’t be the one left broken.

This time, Taeyeon would feel every bit of the distance Y/N had been forced to endure.

sooo i originally joined this fandom through twitter (mistake #1) and dipped because it was a toxic hellhole of cliques and shipping delusion.

tumblr was initially a safespace. and i love the like-minded friends i’ve found here. but for the past week, my inbox has been full of the most cruel and disgusting abuse i’ve experienced. i made this blog because i was tired of seeing people reduce nicola and luke into pawns for their shipping fantasies, then lash out when those real human beings didn’t act like fanfic characters. i’ve consistently called out hate — toward jake, toward antonia, toward nicola, toward luke. never once did i say anything cruel about any of them.

but apparently saying “hey, maybe spreading harmful rumours or harassing real people is...bad?” is cause for a firing squad now. dozens of faceless anons jumped into my inbox to tell me i’m scum. actual quotes include: – “a white man’s whore” (calling women whores in the 21st century! cute!) – “pathetic scum on earth” (ironic but ok) – comparing me to women obsessed with serial killers (????) – and, my personal fave: that i (a muslim, neurodivergent woman of colour) am “as privileged as the white man i stan.”

i'm not giving you the satisfaction of responding to ur pathetic little rants btw. i get it. something is missing in ur life so u feel purpose and power in anonymously abusing strangers online. ur purposeless and pathetic and i'm just another person u can take those frustrations out on.

but you’re not revolutionaries. you’re not woke. you’re just miserable cowards hiding behind grey icons, spewing venom at strangers online because your own life is so small and sad that bullying feels like a win. you're not deep. you're just pathetic. and no, you don’t hate luke. you obsess over him. you know more about his life than his IMDb page. that’s not hate — that’s just creepy parasocial lust rotting from the inside out.

so! anons are off. if you’ve got something to say, say it with chest or shut the fuck up. i'm done offering a platform for your hatred just so you can feel something for five seconds. get help. get lost. and get the fuck out of my inbox.

Americans will joke about the famine, call gaeilge “simlish”, insult our dancing, berate our food, trivialise the oppression we went through, call us colonisers, mock our accents, make drinks mocking our very real trauma, erase and appropriate our culture, call us drunks and alcoholics, and put out countless pieces of media perpetuating stereotypes made about us during our genocide, and wonder why we hate them.

**NewsFlash: Fans of Austin do not have to like Kaia. We are fans of Austin, not Kaia.

Fans can respect that their favorite actor is dating someone, or has a girlfriend (or boyfriend), but they do not have to join the fan club of their significant other, nor do they have to love their relationship.

I've been a fan of plenty of celebrities who I knew were in crap relationships, and I didn't care for them. Eventually, they broke up, and I was relieved lol 😅.

If you're genuinely a fan of both of them, then that's fine. But if some of Austin's fans are *not* a fan of Kaia, that should be okay too!

Just because an actor is dating someone, it doesn't mean that now we all have to join the cult of their significant other and like them just because he/she is dating them. 🙄

It doesn't make you a "bad fan" just because you don't care for the girlfriend/significant other of your favorite actor. If you wouldn't be a fan of theirs if your favorite actor weren't dating them, then you don't have to be a fan of them now.

A lot of fans aren't against Austin having a girlfriend at all (most of us recall the Austin/Vanessa years). Most fans just believe that Austin can do much better in terms of a partner.

Just saying!

Seriously? At least she says it’s “unofficial” because I very much doubt this is an unbiased view of the character.

But that’s my opinion.
