btw i think its extremely funny that there's a bobs burgers episode about somebody grieving for their dead loved one and holding onto reminders of them, how they died too young and talking about how they never got to meet gene louise or tina and how they wouldve loved them so much etc etc and somehow its NOT about bob's mom, who is like the only character where that plot would make sense

my inbox got *so* quiet the last couple days but then I noticed something interesting.
almost everything was about sam or lestat again
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then look at how virginia is posting now
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and this
Tumblr media
this side has always needed to pretend this is about something else so they don't have to talk about fandom racism. some of the asks I got might have been real but the timing of this feels sus. trying to get me to talk shit about sam but when I didn't post anything for days u decided to get the gossip rolling urself? that's what this is lol. faked outrage to stir the pot. u have to subtly aim at black fans again and also go deeper into ur weird parasocial sam reid feelings so u feel important and loved. wtf.
didn't u all send sam a fan art book and other stuff ur always being loud about cuz he mentioned having it in interviews a few times? don't u visit him on sets and tell him u luv him all the time (I've seen the posts lol). he's fucking with u so u will watch the show more and react just like this lol idiots.
the last fangs psa post also tried to pretend it was about this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the craziest thing about this tho is that after she was done aiming at the black and brown fans, she posts a big part about this white guy *with a lestat icon* but.............now it's about race??
Tumblr media
isn't it weird how they can't keep to one story lol. it's all about hating lestat except for when u can't use that against a white lestat fan u wish would stfu so u pull the "I'm black" card instead and then reveal u have no friends lol.
this has never been about lestat or sam. it's an excuse because they don't have the range to speak about why lestat being judged for his ignorant white shit feels uncomfortable to them (especially if they want to fuck him, cuz I'm p sure fangs does). they get off power tripping on telling white fans it's okay to do racist shit if u hate the "right" ppl. her and keybearer are the first to do dumb shit to alienate themselves but blame everyone else for it. then cry to white fandom for hugs because they know how easy it is to get white ppl to feel good about shit if u stroke the fires of antiblackness in them. nobody is kicking u out of spaces unless ur doing some fuckshit but white ppl only hear "I'm black and ppl are being mean to me :(" and then rush to do the most racist shit ever because u just gave them a "good" excuse to do it. if a lot of black ppl are defending a white person who talks about antiblackness and ur the only black person saying that's wrong? u are the one who is the problem! especially because fangs and keybearer are both *not* american and nearly everyone from "this subset" is......and that is also the show's focus, that is louis' struggle! not to mention how fangs got upset about *this* in the cap but then had no issue pulling out talk of the fucking palestine genocide on a black american fan, to say that black americans don't suffer oppression. is this the real reason nobody likes ur bitch ass, mayhaps?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
them being unable to let anyone know peace because of their own bad feelings is the most annoying thing. the show hits u over the head with the "memory is a monster" thing. we *know* we're gonna be seeing different versions of ppl and events and that's alot of what makes it interesting and fun. it's insane u keep pretending we're ignorant to this, as if u *also* haven't been crying for years now about "wait until lestat tells his side!!!!" we have fucking heard ur annoying asses jfc. WE KNOW.
but u have these ppl who can't hear a word against their fav without pulling out the books and showing u some sad lestat passage to change ur mind. girl shut up idc?? can't u let ppl like things as they come gd. what's the harm in enjoying the journey. u assholes are always saying ur so smart but then u have tantrums that the show isn't on book 12 already and ppl don't luv lestat enough yet. who tf cares? he's literally all the tags are whenever a 2 second clip shows up in any S2 thing rn, what are u even complaining about.
fucking crazy that this is louis' story but the focus is always on why isn't lestat getting more attention, why do ppl hate lestat, why is everyone mean to lestat. nobody frames it like that because then u'd v easily understand how stupid and racist this shit rly is. when u speak up in defense about any black character they literally accuse u of being the woke mob but ok lol. "did u listen to what jacob *a black man* said about the character being a crazy liar, sweetie??" (example 1, example 2) this shit is so obvious.

https://www.tumblr.com/velvetstreets/750935310625538048/out-of-curiosity-why-how-did-you-move-on-from
Thank for answering this, I really appreciate it!! I’m still in my obsessed with Jack era so I need to hear what helped other ppl move out of it lol I need to not be so obsessed with him 😫
Can you pls elaborate on the things he said, shared or did that gave you childish vibes? And anything else that helped you stop being obsessed with him plsss? 🙏🏼 I need help lol
Thank you soooo much! I appreciate it and respect your opinion. Hope you’re having a great day!
LMAOO no worries 🫶🫶 hahah it’s okay to be in the obsessed era! I was there for a long time
🚨warning for mutuals, Jack Harlow criticism under the cut, read at your own will! 🚨
I don’t know if I can really pinpoint the childish vibes, just the way he tends to avoid talking about serious topics (in person/interviews) and turns to humor (which isn’t totally a bad thing, he likes to keep the vibes light which I get and it’s an attractive trait) but idk his team/a lot of the people he keeps around him are……… not good people lol
He’s very big on keeping the same circle/bringing people with him up on his success journey, big on loyalty- but like… sometimes it’s good to move on from people in your life. Especially when some of those people are just bad. KY Engineering (one of his close producers) and Nemo his creative advisor have previously stated horrible misogynistic takes on Black women several times, and their attitude towards women in general are…………….. yeah
And for someone like Jack who loves to boast about how much he loves and respects women it… yeah! Idk he often gives me a vibe of his morals are in the right place but he’s not one to correct his homeboys publicly at the end of the day- especially if there are no women present.
(This part isn’t childish, more just sad and upsetting) He also continuously told the story of how he lost his virginity during his last tour which was so horrible bc it was clear the girl he lost it to groomed him :(((( and he/the people around him don’t see that/understand that because its common as a man to be proud that you “bagged” an older girl and it’s like…. Baby lemme hold ur hand and tell you no it’s not…
And he spoke on the Megan the Stallion/Tory L*nez incident and didn’t remove Tory off his song unlike other (female) artists, saying he didn’t feel like it was his place to speak on Tory’s actions, but hoped that Megan was doing okay which was so???????????????????? Like I don’t understand how you can acknowledge she was shot and say that you know you’re a good person and have integrity but then keep her abuser and the man that tried to kill her on your song…. The math is not mathing!!!!!
I just… he has some evolving and learning and growing up to do, and I felt like me personally I fell out of love w him bc we’re the same age and I couldn’t understand how he was not consciously on the same wavelength in terms of mentality ya know :/
I still think he’s a good rapper and makes good music, and I think he’s continuing to evolve mentally (his 3rd album showed more of that), and I don’t believe he’s a bad person at his core, but the lack of action/opinion in certain areas just made me wake up and was like oh i don’t love him like that anymore
But also he’s a white man from Kentucky so I shouldn’t have expected much from him in the first place lmao that’s my fault!
(as a black woman w academic parents and from a socialist environment I forget that people… don’t have/grow up with the same mindset? And then that makes itself known and I get shook lmao)
(P.S. I don’t blame or judge others for liking him still!! His aura is very charming and likable I completely understand, I just personally lost interest in him that way)

my (super)ordinary life!
as some might know its about two college boys renting an apartment together(by chance) and dealing with the ghost of a Victorian boy who was murdered by his nanny. the story follows the protagonist Xavier who is a "realist" and skeptic and doesnt believe in ghosts at all. his roommate on the other hand dallas is a firm believer and a medium. the little Victorian kid Arch whos trying to get the attention of xavier due to him looking so much like his best friend in life falls short in doing so through little antics. The two go through college with unexplainable things happening(well dallas tries to tell xavier its the ghost with xavier not believing him) until xavier has enough of bad things happening and finally folds and lets dallas do whatever he needed. they go through alot to finally talk to arch(buying equipment is hard when your in college) and THEN try to solve the mystery of who killed arch, to let him feel at peace and not restless anymore

Government kids??? no name yet- haeaawdjhnThree kids (17 yr old girl, 14 yr old boy and 10 yr old boy) who are all siblings to this last group of people with magical powers end up loosing their parents due to the new government that was implemented recently. But the world for like more then a hundred years now have passed their reign over magic. now magic is only within their brightly colored hair and eyes(bald ppl dont exist). Along with some people having animalistic qualities and other- fanstay qualities. they are still so very human in the aspects of no one has magical powers but they have some extra points towards things like strength if they were a werewolf or something. (they dont change under a full moon they are stuck in the half furry state). anyways. the three kids end up trying to not get captured by the government running all over the place. they go to highschool for a time, then make friends and go to the friends house. a friend dies. some within family drama happens and the oldest sibling fights with the middle child. the oldest gets captured first. the two other siblings go with their owl caretaker(who barely shows up within the story). the youngest seems not to happy with this and escapes to a village somehow untouched by the government and learn about his herritage(somewhat hes like 10). oldest goes through hell to escape and find the middle child and the youngest. turns out hte owl turned the middle kid into the government and winter finding out oliver isnt with the middle she saves the middle and then says a brisk apology as she is on the hunt to find her baby brother. tension between winter and rodger rise but winter is preoccupied with saving oliver. oliver makes frineds with this young girl and her dad and those two help oliver go into the biggest city to try and find winter and rodger. winter and rodger are one step behind as they get into the village. rodger finds out about their family but winter couldnt care less as she is tiredlessly trying to find oliver. its way to much i know and i left out funny goofy government villans that are clear ripoffs of team rocket but in my own funny way...

Super hero esk story?? idk i called it Switcheroo but thats kinda silly.the protagonist is the top villan's son who goes into the top hero school. (the mom sees how influcened he is to do crime but wants the best life for him. she wants him to choose after also being influenced by what their society deems as noble and good) Zero(protag) dorms with a girl(filing mess up) who is the daughter of number 1 heroic(hero system is different here too) bull's eye. on the news they find out the 3rd heroic on the ranking chart gets kidnapped by zero's mom??? and zero goes to talk with her about it as hes grown attached to the girl he dorms with and saw how upset she'd become. the mom denies it and says this was all a publicity stunt from bull's eye to gain more money and fame. zero says to out them. the mom cant. because no one will ever trust the villains. even if they did what would it do. strike fear into people that even hero's are corrupt and evil will always win? they needed to do something. zero tried to tell the girl but she couldnt believe him. they have a fight. zero ends up trying to do everything in his power to make it up to her. humiliating himself infront of the whole school(but he doesnt care). she accepts his apology and makes sure he isnt injured. he does get in trouble but thats not the point. she hears him out and admits to things shes seen as a kid ever since her parents divorced due to money problems. the premise is they have to take down the two top heroics from inside their ogranization or making them quit by them messing up every save. (prank them so hard they quit). (i dont know the ending yet akjwdnajkw) -

The Moon's craters
a bunch of billionares go to the moon(or a planet that looks like the moon whatever man) and colonize there. hundreds of years pass and the world is sci-fi and dystopian esk?? the poor live in slums and the rich live near the sky!. people who live on the moon have adapted to look different. and the story follows one poor boy on the moon. hes loved the moon but hated the system. classic. so one day he sneaks on a ship that travel's to earth. there he's traversing through earth to see if it was better then the moon. in fact it is not. its more- kingdom esk?? ever since a war that happened long ago.(they still have tech and use alot of it they just enjoy the structural build of kingdoms) protag finds a prince(after getting a job as a servant) and tells him about the moon and stuff. the prince is grossed out but interested in the rich people's fashion sense and taste. he agrees to go with. he litterally just runs away with like a shit ton of money and buys himself a ticket to the moon. goes to the moon they find out theres a war gonna happen cause they cauiught the protag "kidnapping" a prince??? protag is wanted. best friend sidekick doesnt give a fuck????:? so they get a trip to a different planet to escape it all. find out they are super underdeveloped and the moon have been taking that planet's orphans for testing!>?!?>! they rescue one orphan from a new shipment of orphans about to be sent out. (thats all i have so far lmao) -
SpaceBoots
this follows like a ground of people going about space. spaceboots SB(hes got big ass boots), SpaceGloves SG(shes got big ass gloves), Chat(robot guy who talks like zane from lego ninjao but has the brain compacity of a twitch chat), Hat(he wears hats idfk), Shirt(wears beeeeeeg shirt. the hyper cute person of the group). Dress(guy who loves fashion) along with shirt's cat Skrible(very poorly drawn cat who uhm... cat) i forgor most of the plot but like SB uses his mom's ship to do random things through out the galazy and goes on quest. something is wrong with the spaceship i think and they have to get new parts on planets they havent ever been through. they find out more about- the mom and other family i think while getting parts from people who seem to know their parents and shit? aughh i loved their characters so much ajshdakjhwd

auughghg just finished shadow. some spoilers abt sunbeam and berryheart (and briefly frostpaw) below cut
i think berryheart has such good potential as an antagonist. she’s not a leader (atm anyway) just a respected senior warrior. sees what she did in the past and how it affected her and shadowclan and everyone and how it killed her daughter needletail. she’s trying to make up for her mistakes in the way she knows how, which is not... right. but she believes what she’s doing is what’s best for shadowclan and it is so clear.
with the prologue being her pov i think it really shows that she’s not using ‘whats best for shadowclan’ as an excuse. i think she really does think she’s trying to help shadowclan be the strongest, and refusing to see anything different. she respects tigerstar so much, but she doesn’t agree with what he’s doing - but i don’t think she’d try to take over shadowclan herself.
i’ve seen some ppl say she doesn’t care abt sunbeam and is just manipulating her, and while i do think she’s manipulating her i think she is doing it out of love. not that that justifies it, but it’s not out of malicious intent.
she loves sunbeam! she’s her mother! there was a scene where sunbeam interpreted her look as a “mixture of pity and love” and i think berryheart sees her young adult daughter making what she views as mistakes based on flimsy romance and misguided youthful optimism wants to help even if it’s pissing both of them off in the process. it’s so much more impactful because sunbeam agrees with berryheart on some things, but doesn’t agree with how she’s going about things. it’s so nuanced it’s so refreshing to see their relationship. yes she’s manipulating her but it’s her trying to get sunbeam to see her side of the story, to see why what she’s doing is right. she doesn’t want sunbeam to be her follower, she’s not evil, she just wants sunbeam to be on her side.
seeing sunbeam saying “don’t tell tigerstar, i will talk to my mother, she’s my mother” is so. AUGH. it’s so good. she loves her mother, even if she doesn’t trust her, but she does believe berryheart has the good of shadowclan in her heart. their relationship is SO nuanced and complicated and i love it.
it’s so reminiscent of things i’ve heard from my own mother, especially with our differing opinions. the huge divide between generations is so clear here, and it’s so like... prevalent in what’s going on today. it’s so Relevant. that’s what i think i love the most about it all. all of this feels so Real and Relatable. i think i’m a little biased bc i know mother relationships w/ their kids Get Me so bad, family shit GETS me.
and when nightheart leaves and berryheart comforts her, even though she says those choice things i think she did really mean it. and yknow how parents can be, when you break up with someone they don’t like and they’re like well i don’t think they ever deserved you anyway you’re too good for them and i have a list of some nice fine young men/ladies who are better for you--
and about frostpaw. oh god my baby girl. i think, even though berryheart doesn’t care about the other clans, she would be upset to find out about what happened to frostpaw. she told sunbeam they didn’t plan on hurting anybody, both sides just wanted shadowclan out of riverclan. but finding out frostpaw was killed? (or maybe almost, still not sure if they’ve full on Killed Her Off or if windclan will find her and patch her up before she bleeds out. chapter cut off before she saw starclan, she just passed out) idk maybe i’m holding out too much hope, but that’s still a young cat who had nothing to do with anything.
if anything at all i’d like to think berryheart would think that’s a tragedy, a pity for a young cat to die like that. even if she doesn’t care about riverclan’s business, she gives the vibes of someone who would still think that’s Fucked IDK. maybe relates it to her own daughter who got caught up in the wrong crowd and paid for it.
my hope for her is that while she’s an antagonist, she won’t be a villain. i’d love to see her and sunbeam working together in the future. i’m excited to see where this arc goes, so far i haven’t been disappointed, which i KNOW is an unpopular opinion but i do love this new writing team n where it’s going.

Does the characters sharing a body in tlt ever have an element of mysticism to it? Is it more of a cool thing that happens? How do you see that aspect of the books on a metaphorical level/ the work it does in the story?
If mysticism is defined as an altered state of consciousness due to fusion then yes, when Palamedes and Camilla come together they are new and unique person. Nona tries to pick apart their movements and determine what is part Cam or Pal and notices there are decisions/actions Paul makes that their component parts would not. However using it in religious terms, so far no. In HTN Palamedes tells Harrow he is working on a new Lyctoral theory that doesn't involve the cavalier dying. They state after transformation that Paul is that. This happens late enough in the story that we don't know if Paul is immortal or has all the benefits the other Lyctors do, but that's very clearly not why they did it.
Within NTN Camilla and Palamedes share a body, Cam's body. However unlike most body sharing stories they cannot talk to each other, there is no Ling and Greed arguing in a void space. When one is conscious the other is not. The only way they communicate is writing each other notes or recording themselves talking, then switching. Or by telling someone else what to tell the other. It is made clear that this arrangement does not make them happy they miss each other terribly, but it's the only way to keep Palamedes on this side of the river.
It is hinted very early on in NTN that a fusion (sorry old Steven universe fan just gonna call it that) is something they've considered, however Pyrrha disapproves of it. In one scene Pyrrha toasts, "Here's to Camilla Hect, one of devotion's casualties". Because Camilla is sacrificing her body to accommodate Palamedes, and lyctorhood requires at least one of both of people dying. Which sacrifice and who it's for and what is good versus "I never asked for this" sacrifices look like, is a big thread running through the series. Two characters die for other ppl in this book adding to the total sacrificial body count and there is also this question of was it good for the person who chose it, and was it fair to the recipient. All relationships require some sort of compromise or sacrifice but it should be mutual, and something both parties agree on. So while Pyrrha and Nona and many audience members feel like Camilla and Palamedes effectively dying to be together to bad it's also something that both wanted and were willing to give to each other. It is theorized that Nona may be a fusion of both Harrow and Gideon, and Coronabeth and Camilla both say they would be jealous of them if that is the case. By contrast after Paul is born, Paul tells Ianthe this is their lyctorhood and that she could still save Naberius's soul and she waves it off, she isn't destroying herself for Babs, and it's pretty clear Babs wouldn't have wanted to die for her either. But as Camilla later tells Palamedes, "love and freedom don't coexist". Everyone has to determine what levels of that they are capable of or would want in return.
The second theme it hits on is the inevitability of change. There is a really good post I've reblogged at some point talking about how this one permeates the series, they said it a lot better but I'll try and hit the highlights. You see it in characters never getting over grief, you see it in Gideon not wanting to change her relationship with Harrow in GTN, you see it in the way John wants to hold all his lyctors to his chest and have shitty dinners of spaghetti Os for 10k years. Also as that post pointed out, the series does it to its readers, you enjoyed GTN and want something exactly like that, too bad HTN is very different. You only care about Gideon and Harrow? Too bad, they are barely in NTN. Paul is a part of that change, this is the one where Nona and Pyrrha (and me) were also upset over Paul because it means that you never get to see Palamedes and Camilla anymore. The characters are resistant to change even though it's better than both being dead. And it can/has been read the opposite way, that Palamedes and Camilla should have accepted Pal's death, rather than alter Cam to preserve him. No matter which way you look at it you just want to go back to before Palamedes experienced rapid unscheduled disassembly, but it's not possible.
On a similar vein to the change theme, Nona's reaction to Paul can also be viewed in the lens of how some people react to someone in their life transitioning. Where they are afraid that bc this person is changing they won't know them anymore, this is a whole new person, etc. But while yes Paul has changed how Cam and Pal exist, it didn't get rid of the love between them.
In terms of gender, Paul is referred to with they/he/she. They is the most common but it's not really something that is brought up the way you might expect regular media to go "are you a boy or a girl now?" Because TLT operates on the basis of a queer norm, Gideon and Harrow never have to say, as most lesbians do, that they is not interested in men because the assumption that a woman must be interested in men doesn't't exist. You see that with a lot of the body swapping, a character's gender is respected no matter what the present as. TLT's commentary on queer topics is found in noting not only what an absence of prejudice looks like, but what an absence of assumptions looks like. And especially with gender it's something you see with a lot of characters in NTN.
Okay sorry if that was long-winded, I'm sure there's other stuff (ppl have pointed out a connection to Paul from the bible who also underwent a conversation and subsequent name change) but also Paul only shows up like the last 15% of NTN and I am so excited to really meet him in ATN

why do you like the idw comics? i've seen ppl talk abuot how sonics character is written poorly and the plots arent good and are copies of stories from archie so i was wondering your thoughts ?
I'm going to assume this question was asked in good faith, but also put up a disclaimer: I'm not interested in arguing about the IDW comics. If you don't like them, that's fine! Everyone has different opinions on things. But I'm ✨ 🎶 a 32-year-old lady 🎶 ✨and I don't have the time or energy to argue pointlessly with someone about why something I really like is bad, actually. So if you reblog this to tell me why it's bad, actually, I'm just going to block you. And I also don't want to further engage with asks debating about it. Whether you call it arguing, discourse, or whatever, I'm not here for it. So please don't bring it to my doorstep again.
That said:
I like the IDW Sonic comics because I find them to be very fun and engaging. I like these characters and I like seeing them put in situations. For the most part, the events and characters in the comics jive with what I'm used to from the games, to the point where honestly they all blend together in my mind, which is why you see a lot of IDW stuff in the Sonic fics I write. I love most of the original characters. I love all of the unbreakable bond content we've gotten. I love the angst and drama that we get because it's dramatic without it tipping into something unbelievable for the series. I love that any romance that happens in the comics is toned down and off to the side and that the friendships come first. The art is magnificent. And I can tell that a lot of joy and love goes into these comics—joy and love for the art, the characters, and the world—and that's not always a guarantee when it comes to licensed media. So the fact that the people working on the comics are Sonic fans first and foremost, and that really shows in the work, is something I enjoy a lot.
There is not a single piece of media out there that is perfect and without flaws. The Sonic games—all of them—have flaws. The Archie comics had flaws. The Sonic animated programs have flaws. Non-Sonic media has flaws, too. This is because every piece of art that has ever been created was created by human beings, and human beings are flawed creatures. Our flaws transfer into our work. But as a flawed human, I can engage with media that has flaws and still enjoy it. I can say, hey, maybe "Trial By Fire" wasn't the most interesting arc in the world to me because it was very Belle-centric and I'm not a fan of her character, but the comic as a whole is still enjoyable to me and so I'm willing to keep reading. The pros outweigh the cons here. And I can also say, this is a comic that makes me happy, so instead of focusing on the aspects of it that I'm not a fan of, I'm going to instead talk about the aspects of it that I love, and not engage with people who hate the comic and spend their time talking about how much they hate about it. Because that is not a productive use of my time and energy, and I only have so much time left on this earth. How much, I don't know. I could die tomorrow. But if I do die tomorrow, then I want to die knowing that I spent my free time doing things that brought me happiness, rather than anger and upset.
Again, if you don't like the IDW comics for whatever reason, that is fine for you. Everyone has different tastes, and the world would be really boring if we all thought the exact same things all the time. But having said that, freedom of speech means that while you're free to say what you want without persecution from the government, it doesn't mean that others are required to give you a platform and engage with your opinion. I really like the IDW Sonic comics. They make me happy. And fruitlessly arguing with people whose opinions I will never agree with any more than they will agree with mine does not make me happy. There are things that are worth fighting about in this world. Civil liberties, for instance. Workers' rights. But a comic series about brightly colored anthropomorphic animals is not one of those things. I'm not going to waste my time fighting about it, and I would recommend that you not waste your time fighting over it, either.
So tl;dr:
I like the IDW Sonic comics because I think they are fun and engaging. And I don't like arguing with people who dislike them. So if you feel the need to do that, please go do it with someone else, because I am not interested. Thank you.

Hey uhh I vaguely remember reading in your tags somewhere some time maybe long ago that you were homeschooled, do you mind me asking just generally what that was like? Don‘t share if you don‘t want to
Y'know what, sure! I like telling stories and oversharing on the internet tbh. Strap in lol it got long.
Tldr; homeschooling was isolating, it definitely set me back socially. The self paced nature of the work put way too much pressure on me, and now I have terrible choice paralysis and rarely finish a project I start. If you or someone you know is considering homeschooling someone, make sure they know what they're getting into.
A lot of homeschooled kids were put into that kind of schooling because their parents want to monitor them. That's not healthy. I'm sure that's not how it is every time and that there's applications of homeschooling that work for people, but it needs to be done well. Kids need to be properly socialized, supported, and given the privacy they need.
Some background info on why I left public: There was an incident where a teacher yelled at me for no good reason in front of the entire student body during lunch. (I was holding a piece of paper (THAT ANOTHER TEACHER GAVE ME FOR HIM TO SIGN) in the lunchroom which wasn't allowed??) I was EXTREMELY embarrassed and anxious around that teacher from then on. I got moved to a different class so I didn't have to be near him. The guidance counselor was really helpful during the whole thing.
OKAY storytime 📖
"Homeschooling" can mean a couple different things , I did it two different ways at points in my life. I feel like the first thing ppl think of is being taught at home by a tutor or parent, but I wasn't homeschooled in this way. And I was in public school until about 7th grade actually!
However, my mom was super mad, and wanted to talk to the man that yelled at me, but the principal wouldn't let her. They kept giving excuses as to why but the jist was: the guy was an asshole and they knew it. SO mom got fed up with the staff and just pulled me out of public school altogether. It was actually my idea! The thought of seeing that teacher again was so upsetting that I just wanted to leave.
[ I feel like I should also mention that I grew up religious and that it was super common for kids to be homeschooled in my church; you were looked up to for homeschooling your kid bc it "kept them away from bad association" and "gave them more time to devote to god." So my mom didn't really fight me on the suggestion. ]
First, I did cyber school! I was in cyber school from 7th - 10th ish. I was given a laptop that blocked anything fun (but not well, so I zipped right past all the blocks lol) and had online classes. It was similar to how I think school worked during covid? No cameras yet tho, just a teacher on VC with power point slides and a chatroom for students. I was a pretty good student up until this point, but I started barely scraping by a lot of classes and failing others. I think I retook pre algebra 3 times? I passed with a very low D 🫶
And SOME classes were self paced. Those were the Fucking Worst. No teacher, not really. I could technically email a teacher with questions but I was a horribly anxious little 14 yr old so no way was I gonna do that. I remember one year I had a civics class that was self paced and I was so lost and stressed about it that I procrastinated til the entire course had like a week til it was due. And it wasn't just tests, I had to make multiple power points on different topics throughout the course. I had a complete emotional breakdown in front of my mom cause I'd been hiding this from her. I was so afraid she'd be mad, but she helped me finish everything on time. She basically did like half of it for me, bless her. God I hated that class.
So at this point school is going. Kind of really bad. My grades suck and half the time I cheat. I don't really have friends because all I do is sit on my laptop and go to church with my family. I didn't have any contact with my old school friends because they weren't a part of my religion. (Jehovah's Witnesses are super exclusive and cult-y) And teenage me has just realized they're not straight!
Like many isolated, repressed, gay teenagers, I mainly expressed myself online. But a few months after I turned 16, my parents found my secret email account that was connected to all my private social media. It was very apparent I was gay. So I outed myself by accident. They pretty much took away all my access to the internet and started paying super close attention to the media I consumed. I'm just glad they didn't go to our church elders and tell on me for my sins or whatever. Life continued as "normal" with them just. Pretending it didn't happen and hoping and praying that I'd magically turn straight. I actually recently found out that my parents NEVER talked about my sexuality with each other during this stage. They just completely avoided the topic.
[ another note, my entire immediate family is actually out of that religion now, and everybody's cool with the gay thing 🫶 my dad actually told me that my coming out is what made him question some things with our religion. ]
But then it became a question of what I was supposed to do for school. I couldn't be on the Websites That Turn You Gay, but I was also doing bad in school and would be put behind a grade or two. Not to mention I was terribly anxious and hadn't really socialized with people my age for the past 3 or so years.
That's how I started correspondence schooling! Another kind of home schooling. It's exactly what it sounds like. The school sends you books and tests, then you mail back the finished papers to be graded. And you might be thinking, Cloudy didn't you just go over how much you hated the self paced classes in cyber? This sounds just like that but worse! And I would say why yes, anon, I did! Such a good memory!! Gold star for you ⭐
This schooling didn't go great, as you could imagine... I think I finished two classes? This didn't have any time limit, however. So why on earth would I feel any pressure to do anything? Overall it was a giant waste of money. I just kept not doing it! Then life got super crazy, I won't go into detail but it was a rollercoaster of family drama, my mental health being at the worst it ever was, and leaving that religion. And then covid!!!! Everything happens so much 😞
I was so far from my diploma that I gave up on finishing my classes and started focusing on getting my GED. This took me another 2 years lol. I finally got it last summer!! I also landed a new job in the spring after being unemployed for a little over a year. And I just got my driver's license last week! It's taken me a longgggg time but my life is on the roll again. This is probably more than you were asking about but yeah.

I love you ysblf opinions so much. The ones about Marcela’s attitude are always just *chefs kiss* it seems like nowadays she gets a lot sympathy for being cheated on which is terrible, but for some reason people are obsessed with portraying her as The Only and Only Victim when she had very questionable behaviors: hated and sabotaged Betty since the beginning, didn’t even view her as a woman just because she was ugly and had an inferior financial status ( I have gotten jumped by so many people for pointing this out on YouTube comments 😂) Not saying she was the villain either as Betty clearly was no saint herself, in this story all the characters are flawed which makes them very human. It doesn’t help that the actress who plays her has this very same mindset that Marcela is the victim and Betty the real villain, the fact that Mario rarely, if ever, gets this treatment is bonkers to me since he is the one who concocted everything.
Also, it’s not a bad thing that your character didn’t keep a man who didn’t respect nor love her ( he couldn’t even stand her) way before Betty even came along, I don’t see the big loss about this, it’s actually the best thing that could happen to Marcela. It’s sad that she had to leave her own company, but she’s still getting her monthly checks, she’s still one of the rightful owners and didn’t seem like she wanted to be the president at all. There was even talk that maybe she went to Miami to be in charge of the franchise over there which I think would be a great way for her to remain involved in Ecomoda without having to run into Betty and Armando all the time.
Anyway, this already got so long, but wanted to say again that I live for all your ysblf content and you have a very interesting blog overall.
THIS MESSAGE MADE MY ENTIRE DAY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! It always boggles my mind when ppl tell me they like or even read my opinions on things I watch/ read/ whatever looool to me it feels like I'm just screaming into the void (not that i mind i have tons of fun doing it lol) and it absolutely makes me so hype when I can interact with others about the same media.
Now on to Marcela! I'm not going to say that she was not hurt or a victim AT ALL in the story, there are times I genuinely feel for her especially in the end when she realizes that Armando had the affair with Betty and she STILL wants to be with him anyway. That's why she gets me more upset as the story progresses bc I'm like GIRL U DO NOT DESERVE THIS YOU ARE SMART BEAUTIFUL SUCCESSFUL A SUPPOSEDLY STRONG WOMAN U DONT NEED TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS FOR A MAN WHO DOES NOT WANT U U SHOULDN’T NEED TO FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO HANG ON TO A MAN. But unfortunately Marcela is her own worst enemy and more than anything I think her character shows that even a rich, beautiful, successful woman can be doomed in love. It's not only "ugly" girls who suffer when finding partners. But yes the few times I feel sorry for her and the manipulation she goes through with Armando are almost swept away by her own choices and the person she is. Classist, Elitist, a bully. I think that's something even Armando sees and even when he wasn't in love with Betty or even dating her Marcelas treatment of her since she got the secretary position was what lifted away the last mist of love he felt for her and u can see that in his interactions with her. Overall, Marcela while I do not particularly like her, is such a complex dimensional character

Hey, sorry, just adding on to the pile of stories from the Balkans. I also grew up with family groping me and being uncomfortable with it, but never being allowed to say anything against it. My mother and father often made sexual comments about me, or when I went through puberty they would occasionally grab at my breasts and butt and comment on them. It's mostly stopped now, thankfully. It always felt so invasive and in general I hated how much focus there was on if I was growing up beautiful or not. My grandparents often did so as well. Whenever I would try to make any of them stop, show discomfort, or have a negative reaction I would get treated as if there was something wrong with me and I was being rude. Looking back I can't believe just how much we have made this sort of behavior normal. Ugh. Family members should not be calling children sexy under any circumstances. There is no possible reason for there to be discussion around a kids genitals. This should not be normal and so many of us shouldn't have stories like this. I'm glad to hear other's speak of it but it has made me so disgusted. We really are taught to ignore any bounderies
heyo anon <3 no need to apologize. yea its.. jfc. this whole thing has left me disgusted too. and frankly, baffled. i just feel so baffled. i keep trying to wrap my head around all of it, try to make some damn sense of how and why, and yet all it leads me too is just.... bafflement and being grossed out. when i asked on here if anyone knew what i was talking about i was not expecting this many ppl to get it. i wasnt sure if anyone would get it
im sorry u went through this, it really is a fucked up way to grow up. and the gaslighting that goes on - bc i rly do think thats what it is - tends to rly mess with your head. its immensely messed up that somehow in all this its children who keep being blamed and made to feel bad for.. v much having normal reactions to things. its a very jarring feeling to know something is just.. wrong. and not be allowed to feel that way. im sorry again that you were put through this, tho i am glad its no longer going on; i hope eventually you'll be able to heal from it all <3
and youre right. were very much taught to not have any sort of bounderies with our bodies. weather its this shit or the beatings or generally being treated as if were property, were really raised to not have much of a say.... it sets a very bad precedent and teaches a very bad and dangerous lesson
i was thinking abt this last night actually. when i was around seven or eight i would spend a lot of time with my cousin at my uncles house. he was some years older than me, by five i think. we used to get along well because i was a tomboy and he didn't make fun of me for it, he liked it. but i remember this one time he started showing me sexual games on the computer they had, some game in which you would give virtual money to a woman to see more of her naked, and it just made me feel so gross. i never looked at him the same, i felt he thought women were just pieces of meat. other times i remember laying in bed with him and he would want me to show him what's under my clothes, though he never took it further than that i don't think. he would occasionally grope at me but basically everyone did that anyway. i remember being upset with him, and him taking me to the candy shop down the street to make up for it
i always wondered if he had been abused first because i found out later his dad had molested another family member of mine. but looking back maybe it was the things he saw on the internet or from other boys. anyway, i tried to tell my mother and grandmother about it but they never took it seriously. never even scolded him. "boys will be boys" mentality and i was told i was being dramatic and shouldn't take it to heart because it's normal for boys to do things like that sometimes. it was normal to be felt up by family in general i guess bc. idk this culture is a fucking nightmare sometimes. now when i see him we just pretend it never happened i guess. it really is fucked up how much this sort of behavior is normalized, excused, and frankly defended at the expense of the saftey and comfort of kids... like what lesson does this teach other than, its ok to let people do whatever they may please with you, regardless of how much you dont like it? it must be some form of grooming i swear to god

Peak story time please!!!
What was the first thing that peaked you, and when did you peak (not just specifically “peak trans,” but anything “peak patriarchy”)?
okay so in terms of like “peak patriarchy” tbh it’s hard to pick one moment. i grew up in a pretty patriarchal society & country. i was already pretty sick of it from a young age bc i was basically getting called a whore, being harassed, & getting pressured by ppl within my society (luckily not my family) over me not wearing the hijab. when i was in my early teens, i faced rape & most ppl i had opened up to (most being close friends) either said it was my fault or called me a liar or basically minimised what my rapist did like it’s not a big deal to rape someone. again, was called a whore & harassed for that. then i had this one guy as a remaining friend & lucky me, happens to be a guy who had a crush on me for 4 years at this point & was persistent despite repeated rejection. eventually i felt bad and powerless bc rejecting him didn’t mean anything to him, he was arguing im “still his girlfriend” (when i said im not with him & do not want to be) and he said maybe to ME we rnt together but to him we r. anyways after putting up with that for a while, i ended it for the 50th time & he said “is it bc ur a lesbian” and i said yes. 6 months later he sends me flowers to my place in bahrain (his brother delivers it to me) & i was like wtf. so i had to end it again. and again. by that point i was pretty fed up honestly but eventually i got him to leave me alone bc he said like “stay pls maybe i can change your mind ;(“ and i said he cannot and then said if my mind changes ill hit him up. i already knew my mind wouldn’t be changed lol bc i tried not to be a lesbian for long enough to know it’s just not possible. but at least that somehow convinced him to leave me alone. but then when i was done w that situation & opened up about being a lesbian online, i got repeatedly hassled on whether id date a trans woman etc & about penises. i was a tra and was like no unm id totally date a trans woman but not with a penis bc im penis-repulsed. and ofc then i got hassled w messages like “isnt that terfy / transphobic” so at this point im like what the fuck. here’s where i started to peak. anyways like a year or two later i have my first gf right and she’s a massive TRA. im still leaning towards the TRA side but talking vocally about how sex exists & so does sex-based oppression & that lesbians are allowed not to like penis. anyways my then-gf pressures me into an open relationship & says it’s bc my body is like “too perfect” & it makes her insecure and she hates her body etc. she says that she was told that polyamory can help solve her body image issues & was convincing me of how it’d work. i was skeptical and not for having an open relationship but like how can u say no to someone u love telling u that ur the reason for their insecurities & that u can help them simply by letting them fuck other ppl??? so i was like okay fine. immediately my ex dates like 3 other ppl at once, 1 of them being a trans woman. i was against this n was like how’s this meant to help w ur body image issues … this person literally has a penis and a completely body from u… n my ex was tryna convince me that it does help somehow. anyways the trans woman wants desperately for us to become a throuple. writin detailed fantasies about me to my then-gf, made a Facebook profile set in bahrain with an arabic name with a hentai profile pic, etc. eventually my ex says “oh but i don’t think she’d be into that, she’s penis repulsed” and the tw goes all :( aw what a shame :( i hope she gets help for this :( and my ex agrees. my ex then tells me about this non-chalantly. im like erm ok… then a week later i text my ex and i say that the whole thing rly upset me. they both then proceed to gaslight me that im crazy & it’s not like that & im such a misandrist & i should be able to love trans women bc they’re women and what’s in their pants doesn’t matter. my ex switches between telling me that i should undergo some genital “exposure therapy” and telling me such therapies aren’t useful so it’s not like they want me to go there. i stand down eventually. probs peak trans there

hi bravern bd novel anon i am going to screenshot your ask and reply to it under a readmore for spoilers!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
no yeah that’s. so afaik the people who ARE upset about the novel are indeed upset for the reasons you mentioned, i just also think that 1) a LOT of english speakers assume that japanese fans all feel the same way in a monolithic fashion, which is not the case and 2) it’s still an outrageous “interpretation” to have LMAO.
as for 1), i obviously haven’t seen Every Single Take on the novel from jp fans, but like. i’ve been reading a decent amount, and a lot of them really like it, and a lot of them have even liked it since they first read it!!! the biggest consistent point of contention that i’ve seen about it on the whole is that lulu’s “they’ll never go back to being the same” line is confusing. otherwise a lot of them read the “not smith but bravern” thing as the same way you’d read any masked hero persona being invoked - the x-men say “cyclops” when he’s in battle/uniform, but “scott” when he’s in the x-mansion eating soup, for example, just with the extra context from this show. again not all jp fans like it, but i think eng bravern fans generally assume the amount of ppl who are down on it is bigger than it actually is bc of the language barrier and also bc some of the jp fans who dislike it are Loud LMAO.
and for 2), like, idk. something being “vague” in the novel but clear in the show doesn’t make sense to me bc…..the show is the BASIS for the novel? i can see maybe being confused on some stuff if you haven’t watched the show first and don’t have context, and lulu’s line being unclear makes sense, but it’s one of those things where like. smith is bravern. isami knows smith is bravern. WE know isami knows smith is bravern. the novel treats this as a fact, and it assumes we do too, so when Known Bad Communicator Isami says “not smith but bravern”, it’s not throwing smithvern’s identity into question; it’s telling us something about isami’s view of smithvern as he tries to reconcile one person he originally knew as two. similarly, smith and bravern conversing isn’t throwing smithvern into question; it’s telling us something about his conflicted mental state. like, gwitch - as many times as bamco claims the relationship between the girls is Up For Interpretation, that doesn’t change the fact that they sure did get married!! so i just don’t think that a short follow-on story trusting its readers to know that its tone and characters and their motives can be inferred from the previous installment (which is also like, a full anime) is “vagueness”; i think it’s just. the story trusting its readers!!
also like. as a sumiisa liker. literally their favorite pastime is not talking to each other if i’m being quite honest LMAO. they obviously said they love each other but i don’t think they quite got to a point of Understanding the way, like, domon and rain did, yknow? as for leaving it open behind a paywall, i feel like that’s kinda The Point……like, it’s just putting things into place for follow-up if that happens, and if it doesn’t, the show gives a satisfying ending!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and i hope this doesn’t come off as me being frustrated with you anon, i’m absolutely not!!! and i certainly don’t speak japanese myself so this is all my google translated take on the story lmao, which i also personally did not go into unspoiled!! i’m also not saying you have to like it either, tbh i think the idea of smith henshin At All kinda undercuts the show.
it’s just one of those situations that makes me sad bc. literally SO OFTEN queer stories get read with the most bad-faith goggles possible, y’know? star trek discovery had its first nonbinary character and people got pissed bc they used she/her pronouns and had to have a “call me they/them please” scene in the 32nd century, but in actuality that was bc the IRL actor was still working through things and *asked* to use she/her. there are a million and one examples where characters with queercoded scenes in any medium never have a Big Explicit Confirmation Moment, and people are so quick to call it queerbaiting, and then we find out that there WAS a Moment and it got cut by some exec. and bravern(show) has been so openly earnest with its queer elements, especially with using bravern(character) as a multi-layered narrative tool to express smith/isami’s love, that it just sucks to see any fans jumping at the bit to do the same thing here imo :/

Now for some Bloom Into You thoughts!!! Ill put it under a read more since its easy to hide lots of text that way & just in case anyone new is looking into the series they can avoid the read more spoilers. I loved it a lot :3
To no ones surprise now that i have all the manga i finished the main bloom into you story (so have the anthology manga and the 3 spin off light novels now!) Volume 3 & 7 got delivered today, i had the rest and read 1 & 2, and then 3 - 8 all got read today lol.
It was very cute!!! I can see why a lot of ppl treat it as a good "beginner" yuri/gl story for ppl to get into the genre with & a good "what if i like girls" story for self discovery. Very cute coming of age, dealing with finding out what kind of person you are, what love means to you, how your actions can accidentally impact others & make them upset in complex ways, why communicating is so important.
I really liked the change up of the play being a way for Yuu to push Touko into accepting who /she/ is rather than living on as her sisters replacement. It hurt so much seeing her bury her feelings for long, and have no one to talk to about it to process what shes feeling. Poor babygirl was suffering so bad, and couldnt tell anyone. Im glad Maki didnt beat around the bush at the batting cage, and that Saeki got the courage to confess and tell her definition of love which really helped Touko. Im excited to read her story in the light novels!! Im glad we get her perspective and eventually her love <3
And it had some side characters who are adults and gay which was really nice. I enjoyed the ending a lot too, it didn't just flat end at "we accept we love each other mutually" it went beyond that (was spicy but also got some time skip panels too, makes me excited for if the anthologies or LNs have any post ending stories and such). And the rings!!!!! I hope they werent just "cute ring" but like engagement rings of some sort. Ik touko didnt really care for labels, but it would be so cute if she was the one to propose and show yuu she does care and considers yuus feelings abt couply stuff. Also the "were girlfriends right" lil bit was adorable, and then shoving the parents out so they could be together in the house. And the dream of them being together (been there Yuu) and touko like validating that feeling of "of course well be together and live together in the future". Also Yuus sister internally clocking "my sisters gay' and being happy for her and supportive, such a good sister. So many gay lil happy thoughts.
Since the bluray was 50% off today got that on the way (i think the anime only ever got to like the 5th? Manga volume before ending from what i read? It was mentioned in one of the afterwords too) so thatll be exciting to watch too.
And then i can start the whisper me a love song once the extra bloom stuff is read! It seems cute, i mainly got it cause theres an anime adaptation coming soon and ppl were excited abt it so i figured why not read it and have the anime to look forward to!
