GAH i didn't wanna do this bc im a gemini & i talk a lot if im unsupervised lol BUT YALL WERE POSTIN SOME SAPPY SHIT SO I WANTED TO JOIN (so sorry this is gonna be so long i apologize in advance)
this wasn't initially the road i was gonna take while talking about this but ofc if u read any of my writing or know me in any capacity, it shouldn't surprise you that we're getting sad lol
as i stood next to my partner watching the midnight fireworks last night, i had a fleeting thought -
16 year old me didn't think i'd still be here at 26 -
i didn't expect to still be on this earth in 2023
when i was around that age my home life was really shitty and abusive and lonely and my only saving grace at the time was the family i found within the one direction/5sos fandom. there were so many times then that my fandom friends saved me, literally.
i wouldn't be here today without them.
i stopped being in fandoms around 2016 and while i still have MANY long term close friends from that time, we all have gone our separate ways interest wise.
I didn't realize just how much i missed being a part of a community until i joined tumblr again. the austin/elvis fandom welcomed me with open arms & filled me with that same youthful joy and connection as i had when i was 16. and even BETTER bc this fandom has blown me away with how kind and gentle and loving it is
point is - i’m grateful that i AM still here, that i’ve been here long enough to meet you and experience this amazing fandom.
it's insane to me to think i would've never met some of the brightest stars of my days without walking into that theater that day. my year would've been so empty, lonely and sad without you all, so thank you all from the bottom of my cold lil heart - you all showed up in my life when i needed u the most
(something weird about this 1D -> Elvis/Aus pipeline is that when i went back to see the day i saw the movie the first time it was on July 23, aka the 1D anniversary 👀 lil weird)
i initially made this blog solely for my fanfic but i'm glad i branched out - though i still wanted to take the time to anyone who's interacted w my writings, even if it was just help with plot or moodboards. my heart skips a beat when my writing is a point of conversation.
thank you to the beauties who grace my dash everyday, even if we don't talk often 💖
@feverkitten @p-oolshark @pearlparty @avengen @presleys @mrsniallhoran505 @missmaywemeetagain @marooosa @eliseinmemphis @elvisabutler @lovininapinkcadillac @aconflagrationofmyown @austinsmutler @heartbrake-hotel @dre6ming @flwrs4aust @rosaminny @presleysdarling @woundmetender @rainydayz101 @ggwritesstuff @golden-kiwis @lattedreamer @weak-aesthetic @bcofl0ve
and of course to my almost daily babes, my days would be so empty without you all and my heart would be so deflated - i never thought i'd end up with a group like this
@succsessions @lllsaslll @cryingabtab @elvisfatass @loving-elvis @nora-nexus-34 @lavenderelvis @luluthesandgoose @powerofelvis @bisexualwvtson @samfangirls @lindszeppelin @infatuatedharleys @ab4eva @sagesolsticewrites @slowsweetlove @areacodefan @jelliedonut @steph-speaks @star-shard @foreverdolly @purejasmine @oh-my-front-door
and how could i ever forget the two that really roped me in @karamelcoveredolicity @troubleinapinksuit - even though it was through war, violence & lawsuits (lol) that our love was carved from, it is the most magical. i am so honored and so grateful to call you friends
one of my biggest goals for 2022 was to make new friends - ones who are reliable, kind, like-minded, supportive, generous, loving - because i was feeling so lonely & unloved, and to my surprise this goal was met ABUNDANTLY by you all, i really can not stress how much you all mean to me
extra special shout out to @bisexualwvtson for setting up the christmas card exchange, it was probably my favorite part of this holiday season - those cards made my whole christmas and i will cherish them forever
i love you all so much its DISGUSTING how much i love you - i don’t know how i would’ve made it through this year without you all - and it makes me so fucking sad when i think about all the memories that wouldn’t have happened without austin/elvis/you guys - it is because of you all that i have some of the best and happiest memories of this year, thank you ❤️
i hope that we are together for a long long time - i know that i am, i’m here for the long haul 💗 pls be in the nursing home with me breaking hips to Elvis songs
love, mel xx
(I APOLOGIZE IF IVE MISSED ANYONE I TRIED MY BEST TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING MY BRAIN IS TRASH SO IM SO SORRY PLS DONT BE OFFENDED IF I MISSED U I LOVE U)

like obviously i don't like joker junior because 1) i feel like it doesn't fit in with mainline tim's personality or struggles of which he has many, 2) it places even more importance on the joker as the ultimate villain of the batfam and i'm tired of him and also i don't like him, and 3) it ignores villains that exist that have had more interaction and conflict with tim than the joker does.
because tim, having had his own solo series does have his own rogues that would be *far* interesting to play with over the joker. anarky. the general. ratcatcher. maxie zeus. hell. tim almost gets eaten by killer croc *three times*. slap some scales on that boy and call him crocky jr, if you must have him be tortured into villainy. the joker is tired. put him away for a bit.

Ohhh share your hair products queen? 👀
omg val influencer era????
listen I should not be listened to bc less than a year ago I was bleaching my hair three times in one sitting so 😭😭😭 and I had every single color of the rainbow in my hair 🧍🏻♀️ which would change weekly 🧍🏻♀️ but these products have actually helped me a lot 😔 which i’m already skeptical of bc i’m used to skin products since nothing will help my skin LMAO so for products to actually work…..shocked…..
anyways these scalp serums I love especially the one on the left omgggg it tingles sm I literally love it 🧍🏻♀️and they both smell good <3
for exfoliating scrubs I use these but I like the one on the right much better <3 I only do that once a week or every other week tbh bc i’m scared of build up but that’s the whole point of exfoliating so ??? could be pointless anxiety 😭
tbh I can use any hair mask but so far I really like these <3 my hair felt like straw so the one on the left actually helps a lot 🧍🏻♀️but again bc of build up I just use 1-2 a week….
I love these sm 🧍🏻♀️and the one on the right smells really good so…..i’m biased….
then I use these too and OMG ok so I usually avoid shine products bc for my thin ass hair that typically means it’ll just make my hair greasy LMAO but the one on the left!!!! is so nice?????? like it somehow actually works and it doesn’t make my hair greasy and I am the queen of grease bc I barely have hair left which is why i’m on this recovery journey LMAO
also I use rosemary oil water to spray on my scalp too but that’s just homemade <3 I like that too for hair growth but I haven’t been using it long enough to see results so 🫡
