AITA for not wanting to play DnD with a teenager?

So I (22F) am in college and after classes I like to play DnD with four of my friends, Ricky (21M), Tara (21F) Lola (22F) and Julie (20F)

Well recently Tara's little sister Ashley (15F) has been hanging out at Tara's apartment, where we usually have our game sessions, after school. Like for about two weeks now. Tara says its because her mother got a new job and doesnt get off work until 7pm so Ashley stays at the apartment from 4pm till about 7:30pm when her mother comes to pick her up.

4 pm is when our game sessions start most of the time (depending on if any of us have night classes that day or not) which means we now have a literal child watching us play. And because of that Tara has asked that we tone down the game sessions to be more "appropriate" and we also cant get drunk until Ashley leaves (which is stupid because Julie is under 21 and we can drink around her just fine but whatever) frankly I didnt mind the constant audience since Ashley was far more interested in watching us play than watching TV or playing on Tara's switch.

Well apparently just watching wasnt good enough for the brat because when i got to Tara's apartment for a game, Ashley was sitting at our table, excitedly filling out a character sheet while chattering nonstop with Ricky and Lola (Julie wasn't coming this time she had the stomach flu)

I naturally asked what she was doing because she normally just watched. Ashley gave me a confused look and said that she was joining our game like we had apparently talked about in our groupchat the night prior. Ricky and Lola both backed her up and showed the groupchat.

I had seen the messages but I thought Tara was joking about adding a literal child that doesnt even have a learners permit to our game that we had been continuing for three months now. I naturally went to go confront Tara.

She said that I agreed to let Ashley join in and if I didn't want to play with her I could've just not come.

Is she fucking serious?

What kind of sane person would want to play with a literal child and its edgy as fuck character (like the character was a wolf necromancer dressed in all black with two random scars across its chest. You could smell the hot topic radiating from this cringefest)

Tara refused to listen to reason and instead insisted that Ashley can play just for tonight and if i didnt like it I could leave.

I had no choice to stay and play

It was so fucking miserable.

The brat was constantly making stupid mistakes and dragging the whole party down with her. We constantly had to stop so Ricky (our DM) could explain things that should've been obvious because Ashley was too stupid to actually figure it out. My character was having to bail her's out near constantly. It was getting to the point where I just wanted to legitimately slap Ashley. I didnt because Tara would absolutely murder me but oh the temptation was strong.

And the worst part? I was the only one who seemed to be upset that our game was being completely thrown off course. Ricky, Lola and Tara took all of Ashley's many many fuck ups in stride and actually seemed to be enjoying it.

I have no idea why, that game was a train wreck

After an hour of hell Ricky called it quits for the day.

Which was weird because we usually go well into the night most of the time. Once the game was over Tara grabbed me by the arm and led me to the kitchen.

She asked me what the hell my problem was because it was apparently MY fault the game went so poorly and not the literal child's.

So I let her have it.

I told her it was a stupid idea to let her dumbass sister play with us, that Ashley shouldnt be playing with adults and its stupid to expect us to bow to the whims of a fifteen year old. I told her I never wanted to play with stupid bitch ass of a sister ever again.

I left the apartment after that.

This morning I was removed from the groupchat and all my friends have blocked me

Except for Lola, who has been going off on me in dms all day, calling me a horrible person, transphobic, a bully and a bitch. Every name in the book. None of them are talking to me and Julie, who wasn't even there keeps calling me an asshole and says i should apologize

AITA? I dont think i did anything wrong but everyone else thinks I did

What are these acronyms?

escape from la | luke hughes

pairing; luke hughes x fem!reader

warning(s); smut (blowjob, no pnv), cursing, idk what else, lowercase intended. minors dni!

word count; 0.4k

title is random, was listening to escape from la by the weeknd idk.

“oh-oh my god.” he murmurs, his breathing ragged and stiff.

you brought your mouth off of him, licking the pre cum and saliva that had besmeared your chin. “is this okay, luke?” you asked quietly, looking up at him through your eyelashes.

pupils dilated, face reddened, such a beautiful boy.

your beautiful boy.

“baby please..” his voice dies off.

you gave a few kitten licks to his swollen tip, before taking him in your mouth again.

luke lets out a strangled groan, his hands grabbing the back of your head, pushing his cock further in your mouth.

you take him as best you can, using your hand to satisfy the rest of what you cant reach.

ignoring the burning in your jaw, you bobbed your head at a steady pace, the quiet whimpers leaving luke’s mouth giving you the motivation to continue.

“ ‘m not gonna last.” he says breathlessly.

you give one of his thighs a squeeze before increasing your pace, using your other hand to fondle his balls softly.

“…f—fuck.” luke lets out a pornographic moan, his hands dropping from your hair to grip the bed sheets, as he reaches his high. eyes pained shut, brows furrowed in concentration.

pulling off of him, you palm him through his orgasm, watching him as his seed spurts in the valley of your breasts.

glancing down at your chest, you use your index finger to gather his cum, looking up at him as your lips wrap around your finger.

you moaned quietly at the taste of him, swallowing all of him in one go.

luke watches you, breathing heavily as he pushes sweat stricken curls out of his eye-line.

“was that okay?” your teeth graze your bottom lip, as you look to your boyfriend for praise.

luke lets out a nervous chuckle, shaking his head as he brings you up on to his lap.

you straddle his waist, your hands resting on his lower stomach as you waited for him to continue.

“god, that was— you are-” you interrupt him, pressing your lips against his to shut him up.

his lips move in sync with yours, and you can feel him smiling into the kiss before he pulls apart, resting his forehead on yours. “you’re amazing.”

your lips twist into a grin. “i love you, beautiful boy.”

/end.

It’s kind of messed up that Adrien fell in love with Marinette when she thought he was a statue and treated him like an object because:

At the time Adrien was working as a model, selling his body, and being treated like an object by his father and fans (and it gets worse when he’s turned into a literal object for Alliance).

I’ve said it before, but Adrien is narratively a girl. There is a VERY distinct femininity to his character. They literally put him in a dress and call him a princess. Having your girl coded character fall in love with someone because they treated him like an object has unfortunate implications.

Adrien is a Sentimonster, which have historically been treated as objects. (Looking at you, Gabe). Sentimonsters can be created and destroyed at the whim of their creator. Whoever has their amoks can control them like puppets. (Still looking at you, Gabe). Having a person who is canonically a member of a magical slave race falling in love with someone when they treated him like an object has unfortunate implications.

And to backpack on the previous points, Adrien is an abuse victim. His father isolated him, controlled every aspect of his life, emotionally and mentally abused him, and treated him as a life sized dressup doll. You know, like an object? More unfortunate implications.

And it didn’t have to be like this! They could have had Adrien realize he fell in love with Marinette during literally any other time. (I would have chosen Umbrella scene 2.0). Heck, the statue scene can even stay canon, if they continued to acknowledge that it was a cringey cringefest and moved on.

But no. Magical slave race girl coded abuse victim who has been treated like an object by his father and most of the people in his life falls in love when he’s being treated like an object. The writers really thought this one through.

Pet Names 🐾

a silly little drabble for @chaotic-on-main's Cringefest!!!

Levi x gn!reader

Warnings: vague thoughts of cheating, but other than that it's just cringe

The front door closes behind you with a solid click, signaling your arrival home and the end of a long day. As you hang your bag on the coat rack, a sigh of relief escapes your lips, carrying away the weight of the day's work. The familiar sounds and scents of home envelop you, offering a sense of comfort and solace.

To your surprise, it seems Levi has finished his meeting earlier than expected. The sound of the washer and dryer fills the small entryway, their rhythmic vibrations reverberating in the air. Swiftly kicking off your shoes by the door, you call out into the house, "Levi, I'm home! Work sucked, but what else is new?"

However, there is no immediate response. Your voice must have been muffled by the noise of the laundry appliances. Curiosity piqued, you make your way down the hallway, guided by an unfamiliar sound emanating from the bedroom.

"Levi?" you call again, the sound growing clearer as you approach. The tone you hear is unlike anything you've heard from him before—a soft, baby-talk-like cooing, filled with tenderness and warmth.

An uneasy thought flickers through your mind—could he have someone in there with him? Suppressing your rising horror and disbelief, you move down the hallway with cautious steps, the silence only disrupted by the hushed glide of your socked feet on the polished hardwood floor.

"You're such a sweet girl, aren't you? Such a perfect little Princess," Levi's gentle whispers reach your ears, tinged with an unexpected affection. Pet names and endearing terms aren't usually part of his vocabulary. The silence between his words is filled only by the distant hum of the washer and dryer, and the gentle hum of the AC. Could he be practicing pet names? The thought amuses you, momentarily easing your disbelief.

Finally, you reach the bedroom door and steal a glance inside. The sight that greets you brings a mixture of delight and amusement, and you can't help but stifle a giggle with your hand.

Levi is sprawled across the bed, his body curved protectively around the small form of your cat. The rhythmic purring from her tiny frame fills the room, a testament to the contentment she finds in his presence. With adoring eyes, she nestles herself against his chest, one paw kneading into his shoulder while the other stretches into the air, blissfully reaching for an invisible goal.

Amidst this heartwarming scene, Levi exclaims with exaggerated surprise, "Oh, look at that belly!" His hand gently scratches the cat's exposed stomach. "So soft! You're getting a bit fat, huh, sweet tea? My fat little pussycat."

He playfully catches hold of her paw, his thumb tenderly pressing against the small pink pads. "Look at these beans!" With his other hand, he dives into the depths of her fur, offering a soothing rub behind her ears. The cat responds with a contented meow, leaning into his touch. "Such a precious little face," he murmurs with genuine adoration.

It's hard to believe that Levi was initially hesitant about having a cat, citing concerns about fur and litter. Yet now, seeing him engrossed in these tender moments, your heart swells with warmth and joy. You lean against the door frame, a wide smile spreading across your face, as you silently observe this adorable interaction.

"You're such a good girl for me, huh? Daddy's little lovebug," Levi continues, unaware of your presence in the doorway. "You deserve an extra treat tonight, huh, puss?"

Amusement bubbling within you, you decide to join in on the fun, interjecting with a playful tone, "You give Matcha treats?"

Startled, Levi's body jolts, causing the bed to shake. Even Matcha appears momentarily taken aback by your sudden arrival, sitting up to stare at you with wide green eyes. Flushed with embarrassment, Levi's cheeks turn a vivid shade of pink, extending all the way to the tips of his ears.

"How long-" he begins, his usual gruff tone making a swift return.

"The whole time," you interrupt with a mischievous smile, deciding to playfully tease him a little further. "Why don't you call me your sweet little pus-"

"Shut the fuck up," Levi hastily cuts you off, his face deepening in redness. His embarrassment is palpable. "Don't you dare ever tell anyone."

Laughter bubbles up from deep within you, filling the room with a lightness that washes away the stress of the day. Walking over to the bed, you sit down beside Levi, patting Matcha softly between her little ears. As you lean in to give Levi a gentle peck on the cheek, you assure him, "Your secret is safe with me, my sweet little lovebug."

Will you be continuing My (edge) Lord?

🧐 omg i can't believe someone is actually interested in this haha ♥️

there are 2 more chapters planned, which will raise the rating significantly 🔥🔥

before that, however, i want to rework the previous chapters in depth. it's a bit of a cringefest. also there are too many inconsistencies. you can tell that it was only supposed to be a drabble and that i wrote a few things here and there afterwards - like i don't have their shared backstory clear enough at the moment. if i find the patience to take such a critical look at the published material, i'll continue and sprinkle that smut on top.

THOO the smut is halfway done and tom's mouth is so fucking filthy here that i really don't want to withhold it from yall 😮‍💨

[graphicabyss]

Ben's cringefest continues... I had to see it and now so do you.

[a-tale-never-told]

Official Introduction.

Greetings, one and all to my Dr story blog. I'm Mod Sam from the overanalyst blog, and I'm a historian, or rookie historian if you may.

Now I have originally never planned to do a story blog, due to uncertainties of my writing talent(I still have those), and would just never try to do one. But all of that changed a bit during a conversation I had with @a-student-out-of-time

You see, Student and I were talking about his quality in the earlier days of his blog, and I said that even the cringefest of season 1 beats the quantum crew fighting the Soviet Union ( Russia). and then he comes up with this smart idea.

He said that it would be interesting to do an alternate history in which the Soviets went through with occupying Japan from the north and Hope's peak being of a secret project to reclaim northern Japan from the Communists by using talented ultimates.

And since I'm a fan of 20th-century history, I thought that idea sounds great, the only question is: Where do I start?

So thank to Student's idea, I decided to incorporate Dr elements and combine them with the peak Cold War world. I don't know if this will be worth it in the end, but I honestly believe I can do it.

So before we get into the premise and what this is all about, I would like to thank and give a shoutout and credit to @a-student-out-of-time. None of this would have been possible without his suggestion, so thank you so much man for giving me the idea to do this.

Plus I would recommend checking out his blog as it's good quality-wise and has a great story, check it out if you haven't. But enough about that, Let's get into some history.

The Premise

So this world is an alternate timeline, where like I mentioned earlier, the Soviets just don't stop at Manchuria and the north of Korea. No, they push forward, occupying all of Korea and pushing forward up to Japan, with the Russians managing to occupy the north and putting it under their complete control.

By the war's end, It was now clear that after all that Japan did and all of the casualties they had suffered to beat them, they could not be reunified. So in August of 1946, the post-war allies meet in Kyoto to discuss the fate of Japan. After hours of debate and talks, The agreement is made: Japan would be divided. Thus, what would become known as the Kyoto Agreement was born.

The agreement was simple: It would divide Japan up into separate zones, just like how they did with Germany. American, British, and Soviet zones were made to separate the amount of land the troops had taken. But in their minds, Japan would no longer be an independent state.

This of course didn't sit well with the Japanese public. As soon as the agreement was made and put into effect, there were mass riots in the street, protesting the occupation of their homeland by " Foreigners." The riots were eventually crushed, however, brutally in the Soviet zone for example, which would see 200 people lose their lives and hundreds more injured.

Eventually, people came to accept the agreement as something they could not change. To prevent further riots, two states arose from this on May 21st, 1948. One would be the Republic of Japan, a Democratic, liberal nation that would mostly be in the southern part of Japan, With the capital in Tokyo.

In the North, the Soviets would install a puppet government under the leadership of Sanzo Nosaka and the Japanese Communist Party (PCJ), thus creating the People's Republic of Japan, better known as North Japan, a communist state with the capital being Sendai.

With the two states settled, Both sides would continue on as North Japan took a hostile stance towards its southern neighbor, who does the same. Eventually, as time progressed, the South could no longer handle North Japan's threats and the government began to come up with a secret plan to reclaim the North.

The plan would be called Project Hope. The specifics of this plan were to bring back Hope's peak academy from the grave and use it as a way to train and test those with ultimate talents to be used against the North.

Hope's peak had been dormant ever since the war ended, but by 1954, they were put back into business with one goal: Train those with the talent to basically become super soldiers.

Over the decades, The Ultimates would train and hone their talents to make progress for the South and the rest of the Western world. They had to show their absolute best and to not let any enemies threaten South Japan, otherwise, they would be expelled and shamed for that. Talent actually becomes a lot more important here than In the original dr universe. Either be the best or you might lose everything to the soviets.

As for the rest of the World, they would never really modernize past the 1960s. In this alternate timeline, the Transistor is never invented, a device that shaped the world politically, socially, and culturally. Instead, the world is stuck in a 50s to 60s timeline by the start of the 21st century. Apologies if I'm borrowing lore from Fallout, but It's just kinda interesting to imagine a world where the 60s continue on.

Not all things would be the 60s tech, however, The invention of video games and phones would still progress, though they are less mainstream than in our own timeline, with video games being just relegated to console games. Twitter and other mainstream internet sites don't progress that much or are sometimes never thought up.

The Japanese economic miracle still happens, though it's reduced significantly due to the division of Japan, only limiting it to the south. For example, what we think of Toyota and Honda being world-class car manufacturers never happens. Instead, while South Japan is able to produce its own automobiles and stuff, it is a far lesser power than it was in our own timeline. Instead, the Japanese car market is dominated by American and European cars. Britain would take Japan's place as one of the " Big Four" In automobiles, along with the Us, West Germany, And France.

Anime is still invented, however, but it's more akin to a 90s-like style than the modern style we think of. Just the world culture in general never changes.

The Ussr never collapses in the early 90s, thanks to what would be called, the Miracle, where the general secretary and KGB chief, Yuri Andropov comes to power and de-collectivizes the agriculture sector, proceeding to transfer to a Nep-like system, like the Chinese did, but harder. Yuri also assumes complete control of the Eastern Bloc, by not only forcing his reforms but also unleashing a crackdown on all opposition in the east, preventing any nationalistic factions from rising.

Speaking of China, they would never become the modern power they would be today. Because of the Great leap forward, the Cultural Revolution, and other bad decisions by Mao, culminated In a Stalin-like purge in 1969 of his ministers, which included the reformist Deng Xiaoping. Thus Deng's death, along with all the other bad decisions by Mao and his government, effectively destroyed China. By the end of Mao's reign, millions were either in poverty or in famine.

The Soviets would be the sole major power in Asia keeping an eye on their communist puppet states, including North Japan, which also dreamed of Reunification under a socialist government.

It's the 21st century and humanity propels into a new era, Yet it seems like they were stuck in the previous era. By what we would call 2010, the world has not changed much from the status quo set by their forefathers.

But things were starting to heat up. The South continued on with Project Hope's peak and believed that this new generation of Ultimates might be the best so far than what they had previously. So they continue to train and scout for ultimates, while also treating the Reverse course students with just the same amount of respect they gave them in the original timeline.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin and the North Japs were getting ready. Ever since the 60s, they had spies in South Japan, One of which reported Hope's peak project that had been going on for the last decade or so. The Soviets attempted to destroy this project, but they could not out of fear of starting a war with the Us over that, so they just kept monitoring it as the decades progressed.

However, this time was the right time to strike, Not militarily, but to destroy Hope's peak from the inside. They may not know who to recruit to destroy hopes yet, But they hope they would find the Right candidate for the job. After restoring relations with Bejilng in 2009, they also started to hire Chinese spies to monitor back on Hope's peak efforts.

By 2012, things were starting to heat up, and the secret war between East and West was starting to rise further, Tensions had risen. All it would take was for one thing to break the barrier and kickstart the Spy War.

And It would come in the form of a young man named Hajime Hinata.

The differences between this and canon

Okay, so that's the prelude done, Now what diverges from canon, and what would be present in the story? Well, a lot of things actually.

• Obviously, since this is an alternate world, Hope's peak isn't as advanced as our own. While talents like the Ultimate gamer would still exist, there are talents that are just plain altered in this timeline.

• Hajime is the Protagonist, because let's face it, he's the most realistic of the protags, and I feel like his realism, along with his issues of talent, would be something that can work in this timeline.

• Characters from Sdra2 will be included in this blog, Like the Voids, and the Twins. I don't believe I will include Kokoro until way later on, because I don't feel like I can write her well enough. Sora and Yoruko might join, But that's only until I can settle this thing out.

• The Soviets are, of course, Our main antagonists, with the North Japanese, Chinese, and East Germans being our secondary antagonist faction. Other major factions such as Cuba or Yugoslavia become supporting antags.

• Junko and Mukuro will be involved in this, though spoiler, It's not to cause despair. In fact, some characters from the dr franchise might be Antags as well, Like Haji Towa.

• The series's settings won't be confined to just Japan. In fact, there will be arcs of them traveling across the world like Europe and America to stop the communist spread.

• Expect a lot of military equipment as well as spy equipment being used by the characters in this blog.

• Languages will exist in this, so while Hajime and the Quantum crew, will mostly be speaking English, expect different languages for the antagonists, like Russian or German, as well as the cases when the crew travels abroad and need to speak a different language when interacting with foreigners.

• This will be geared towards a Hinanami romance rather than a poly ship. The quantum crew in this is just one happy family and a family that kicks commie butt. Other ships present will include Kuzupeko and Naegiri, even Emma x Hajime M ( If people ship those two together).

• North Japan would be like a mixture of East Germany with moderate policies, but still an oppressive dictatorship. Expect more of them during the crew's trips to the north.

• The Steering Committee would still be bad and corrupt, rich boys, But unlike our own, they sort of have a reason to be like this, due to fears of a communist takeover of Japanese society and paranoia of spies. It's not to make them sympathetic, just to explain why they do this. Expect the crew to come into conflict with them as well.

And yeah, that's all I have to say. Once again I would like to thank @a-student-out-of-time for giving me the idea in the first place, Credit goes to him, thank you so much.

I don't know when the first arc will start, as I want to relax this summer and I have a lot of things coming up. I also have a very busy school year coming up, So my best bet would be to start this on the weekends when I'm not doing school.

If you guys have something to tell me about the issues of my writing, Hey that's what constructive criticism is for right? I'm sure your responses will help me improve.

But either way, My amazing readers, I Wish you a happy rest of your day and I will see you in the first arc. If you want to talk with me or ask me Questions about the story, they will be answered on this blog.

Still, I hope you enjoy this and I will see you all next time. Adios

Snapper and Stinkpot Character Ref: Turtle Casey!!

I’m so original, mutating Casey Junior /s. Info dump about Casey as a turble under the cut!

He is the whole reason I’m writing this story. I doubt Cass Apocalyptic Series was the first to do it, but I definitely hadn’t seen Casey as a turtle before she drew him so this is where the idea started. But how Casey is mutated in Snapper and Stinkpot is VERY different, and comes with it’s own complications and considerations that I think are way more interesting than just “hey look, I made him a turtle cause he’s cute!” (Nothing wrong with that of course, I just wanted more from it.)

Besides the why and how, Casey’s mutation is different from any other mutant in ROTTMNT in that he’s for lack of a better word… designer. He still has all of his hair and face shape because (without spoiling too much), he was made to be that way. Some things change, of course; his nose recedes significantly and he’s slightly larger in height and circumference.

Growing up human, Casey continued to wear clothes after his mutation, but much like how Raph’s human clothes are often torn at the shoulders, Casey has a hard time holding onto shirts that don’t get torn apart by his spines. That often leaves him irritated and he gives up on shirts for a while, and I don’t blame him. He does occasionally wear the same compression sleeves as the turtles in the movie (they are under his sleeves on the left and on my Halloween post), but it just kinda depends on the day, ya know?

Finally, we have Sunita’s cloaking brooch. The circumstances of him receiving it are still unknown at the moment, but it’s important to know that he’s been using it to appear human to everyone around him. In the present, he usually keeps it around his ankle (see the previous reference), but he’ll tie his hair back with it if he wants to, and he’ll activate or disable it anytime he wants as well.

As for his clothes in this ref specifically, those are a product of his circumstances. The shozoku pants and jacket are later in the story (I’m thinking chapter 17?). In the meantime, he’s wearing his human clothes or the jeans on the Masterpost. The sword however… I’m not talking about it. You can’t make me. Just read, dammit, and come to your own conclusions!

This one was a lot of fun to do, it took me MONTHS to figure out how I wanted Casey to look like as a turtle. Below you can see my cringefest attempts that I might delete later if I hate them enough.

Shit, I think I just re-ignited my interest in Transformers

I think it was a video I watched about a week ago titled "Why is Bayverse Optimus Prime so violent" or something of that flavor. I am currently on the reading-character-analysis-online-until-two-am level, I don't know whether it'll be just another phase because you know, boredom, or a mainstay. God, I hope it won't be a mainstay.

Transformers, thanks to its disjointed nature, has vast, very interesting, catering to all, universes. In simpler words, it's not bad. in fact, it's interesting. Oh, you don't like how a continuity handles a plot point or a character you love? No problem! Just pretend it never happens. But I don't want to like it again. The last time I did, it was an - now looking back - agonizing cringefest that lasted seven years. It made me very happy but also turned me into an awkward Optimus Prime-obsessed kid. I don't want anything to do with it.

But then again, the character analysis, a better grip on English, and general maturity found me appreciating the characters and shows even more; chiefly Optimus Prime from Transformers: Prime. Hey, maybe it was actually good...

or my taste hasn't changed at all.

PS: Optimus is genuinely cool though, more of it on another post.

Hello!

I’m just curious about how the read through and editing of The Secret Songs Series is going. How far have you gotten and what are your thoughts so far?

I’m just looking forward to the next book so much that I’ll take any crumb I can get❤️😩

Ahhhh it's so cute you checked in!

I've finished LIttle Bean a couple weeks back and I'm making my way through Flux right now, I just did chapter 4 last night. Who tf wrote this book though it's so long??? 🤣🤣

Secretly I'm hoping to start posting book 3 in May but keep that between you and me 😉, I don't want to set up false hopes in case April continues to be the shitshow for me that February and March were, in which case it might be June. I do think editing Flux is going faster than Little Bean did though, even though it's longer; my writing continues to improve so I need less extensive edits on the more recent book. I think I removed approximately 1 million uses of the phrase "a little" from Little Bean.

I guess I'll do a banner/title and maybe summary tease sometime in the next couple weeks? I wasn't so sure about doing those kinds of teases but people seemed to enjoy that for Over the Falls.

Ok but more specifically for "how is it going" in case the walk down memory lane is fun: last night I greatly enjoyed reading the cringefest of Namjoon's exasperation when Jungkook was jealous about him and Sasha talking (planning the camping trip), and the mortifying choice Jungkook made to beg Namjoon to text Sasha for him when they were fighting. 🤦‍♀️

And Jungkook being so happy on the camping trip is pretty cute. Jungkook going so quickly from not knowing how to initiate sex with Sasha to being so happy abuot arriving at camp that he just says:

“Fun already, you know? AH, let’s sex— let’s have sex.”

Her chest shook with laughter as she asked, “What, right now?”

“Yes, I want sex.”

Such character growth 🤣🤣

[l-e-g-i-o-n-losh]

Given the influx of users both exiting twitter and aging into the userbase I think tumblr needs to revive the 2010s culture of compiling+circulating resource masterposts & creating beginner friendly gsa-type pride spaces to provide basic info on identities history local resources and how to use pronoun sets without getting bogged down in advanced discourse.

I'm not saying this as a cringefest warning shot thing, but as an identification that one of the things that made tumblr such an interesting and friendly place to begin with is no longer there for new users. A lot of that stuff collapsed when mods got burnout or after targeted attacks during mogai and acecourse, and nobody stepped up to try and lay out a welcome mat except radfems.

It's understandable WHY a lot of those people couldn't continue such draining thankless unpaid work, and why a lot of people who used those resources most weren't prepared to take over the workload, but the total outcome is that while there's a ton of lgbt USERS on this site and anyone can jump in with their specific hot takes whenever they want, there's very few lgbt SPACES left for queer youth and allies to question and learn.

Bts Reaction: Ramadan Edition

BTS and Female Reader are friends.

Muslim Reader. but anyone can read it.

Warning ⚠️: If it makes you uncomfortable don't read it. Cringefest. Gif credit to owners.

Meanings at end.

Kim Namjoon.

Namjoon always makes sure that he doesn't cross your boundaries and is a very respectful person in general and that was one of the reasons why you and him were great friends. You guys talked about various things.

Soon enough you start talking about your religion. Islam. Which is an important aspect in your life. You try your best to satisfy his curiosity but its not enough. You give him some books you had and devours them. As Ramadan approaches. He wishes you Ramadan Mubarak. That's something you're happy about and it would be very nice if it stopped there but now everytime you curse Namjoon gives you a disappointed look.

"Good Muslims are careful of what their toungue utters." He said on an occasion.

"I dont know isn't that dress showing too much skin." He continued saying on another.

"Namjoon it's literally full length."

"Wow sarcasm is haraam." He tells you one fine morning.

"Yes so is murder."

"It's also illegal."

"I know."

Congrats on making your friend a member of Haram* police.

Kim Seokjin

You and Jin had bonded over your love for food. Currently you were explaining to him why you can eat chicken but not his chicken.

"There's a particular way for the meat to be cut so that its halal*"

Then you told him about things which were and weren't allowed.

For Ramadan Jin helps you plan your meals so they are the right amount of healthy and hearty.

He also helps prep your food and brings you meals to add to the iftar*. He is always caring and kind and helps you in anyway he can.

Also finds it funny when he hears the Quran translation of a verse talking about Jinn* and Mankind.

"So you're telling me that you never told me that your holy book keeps mentioning me."

Starts calling you mankind for fun. Changes your contact information too.

Min Yoongi

He had heard you listening to the Quran*. He had grown curious about it. So you'd told him what it was.

Yoongi being the king of trivia had an idea about Muslims but becoming closer to you his curiosity had grown. He is #1 supportive and ready to defend you if needed. You could always talk to him about feeling left out and isolated and viceversa.

He always wanted to be part of a charity event so when you told him about how their was a Ramadan drive to give food and necessities to the less fortunate he was excited to volunteer fir it.

For Ramadan he accompanied you to the organised Iftar and learned more about the importance Islam gave on kindness and community among other things.

Jung Hoseok

Hoseok had come across Abaya* one day. He had been online shopping muslim clothes so that he could gift you something for your birthday.

You told him about how modesty was valued in Islam. That in one lecture you had heard it was said that women were something precious and you keep precious things safely and covered.

So as Ramadan approached and you talked about getting clothes for Eid. Hoseok got heavily involved. Going as far as sending you outfit inspos for Friday prayers, Taraweeh (special Ramadan prayers). And even getting himself an outfit with a prayer cap.

Sometimes you scare him by telling him Jin stories. Poor him gets afraid to do things alone.

Wind blows.

"AHHHH!!!!!!! This house is haunted. I can't do this anymore."

Park Jimin

When Jimin learns about your fasting. He is surprised to know that you can't eat or drink during it.

"Not even water."

"No Jimin, not even water."

"So how long?"

"It's from before sunrises to sunset for a month." You inform.

Jimin takes care not to eat or drink infront of you. Except one day he finds you eating.

"Y/N why are you eating aren't you supposed to be fasting."

"Not today."

"So you can skip fasts."

"Only if you're sick...or on your periods."

"So?"

"PARK JIMIN." You whisper shout.

"I'm sorry. Do you want chocolates."

He might be a little slow at catching up but he's got the spirit.

Kim Taehyung

Your friendship with Taehyung was based on both of you believing in angels.

So when Taehyung heard about you fasting he decided to join you. On your day off you were prepared to have Taehyung accompany you... or so you thought. After Suhoor* which you almost missed because it was way past his bedtime and was before he ever thought about waking up.

In the morning he wakes and starts preparing breakfast midway realising he was fasting. Tweets throughout the day.

Min 5456 without water. I'm thirsty.

Min 6544 without water. I'm sorry for wasting water in the shower.

Sec 7777777 without food. Hangry. ... and board. Bored.

He is also behind you at mid noon about how he was bored luckily you prepared art supplies to make a Ramadan Kareem Banner. Soon after which you started preparing iftar which he thoroughly enjoyed making and later consuming.

Jeon Jungkook

Jungkook dug all Ramadan Memes and enjoys sending them to you. Specially if he can see your reaction.

Jk: do you want to see my date?

Y/n: .....

*sends a picture of date (fruit)*

Also starts saying Bismillah (in the name of god~said before starting a task) , Inshallah (if God wills ) etc.

Also he is somehow always present during both Suhoor and Iftar.

The foods to good to resist. More excited about it than you are.

"It's to give you company Y/n. You can't fast by eating only a packet of Ramen."

But also helps you with odd jobs like cutting fruits for Iftar or frying so that you can pray in peace.

*haram= unlawful.

**halal= lawful/ allowed

***iftar= when the fast is broken

****quran= holy book.

*****Abaya. Its a dress worn by females that covers the whole body and is usually black in color

******Suhoor. Dawn meal before fasting.

*******Jinn : djinn.

It’s going to be so bittersweet when Supergirl ends. Bitter because it was my favorite show and had an amazing start with such an incredible cast; but sweet because of the plethora of nonsensical writing and missed opportunities it has turned into (and having this cringefest end will be such a relief).

I know so many people have said this before but WHY bring Lex back? WHY give him a convoluted story line? And WHY have it be about loving Nyxly? Our own hero, the TITULAR character of the show, the one we’ve grown to know and love can’t even get the self exploration and character development (in love) that both these egomaniacal villains get?? I genuinely don’t understand the choices the writers have made and continue to make.

I have so many questions that I know will remain unanswered. What happened to this current timeline’s Lex? Where is he? Is he detained? Was he sent to the future? How the FUCK could Nyxly have acquired the all-stone incorrectly which resulted in her death (as Lex insinuated)? If so that would mean that Lex and Nyxly would HAVE to have met during the acquisition of all the totems aka NOW in the PRESENT TIME! Unless once you obtain all the totems it takes a year to activate the all-stone which is just hilarious and so fucking stupid that it wouldn’t be an immediate transmutation of energy and power? It literally makes no fucking sense. The only option I can think of that would explain away this horrendous writing choice is that Nyxly (in the future) becomes a disembodied voice after dying and her consciousness either inhabits an object or the all-stone itself? But then that would mean that Lex would have to find said object or obtain the all-stone which would give him unlimited power and he could bring this imp-bitch back in corporeal form with the snap of his fingers. Right?? I’m so lost.

Supergirl is so plot driven and I understand that it’s an action-centric show about a hero with powers but like...I want to know everything about Kara and her journey in life through character development NOT PLOT! Especially when the plot has more holes than Swiss cheese that if you think about it too much the fabric of reality will surely unravel itself.

The only saving grace of the episode was the adorable Dansen double proposal. Very gay and very welcome!! And Esme being a part in all of it? Too fuckin’ cute! This is the content we thirst for.

And Supercorp?? All the romantic framing, sweet conversations, little glances and smiles, becoming more tactile...JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN ALREADY! I’m so sick of waiting. I really do think they are going to make Supercorp canon, I truly do believe that (because if not, everyone involved in the decision making process is an actual fucking tone-deaf, blind as can be, useless doorknob). But what bothers me is that if they do this we as a long-standing audience will NOT get to see it play out and evolve as it should. They’re totally gonna Korrasami us and it’s just honestly not good enough. It’s not. It would be a really easy and shitty way to get the fandom off their backs by nodding/alluding to a relationship that has been so concretely established via subtext and the actor’s choices...but we want to SEE it, not just allude to it.

I want to see Alex telling Kara that while she was in the Phantom Zone and they had to make the tough decision to use the recording crystal to defeat the phantoms and save National City (losing their only link to finding Kara) that Lena couldn’t do it. I want to see Kara confronting Lena and asking her why she would do such a thing. I want to see moments between them where maybe they’re a little awkward around each other because they both realize that maybe the other one has feelings for them? Like if my best friend went against my wishes and was willing to sacrifice the city and possibly the entire world just because she can’t live without me I would think she’s a little...💅. (I don’t know the lesbian emoji equivalent, sorry. Is there an emoji of a hand with trimmed nails and a thumb ring that I’m unaware of?).

I want to see them sitting a bit too close on the couch in the tower, only to shift away slightly when someone else enters the room. I want to see them make dinner plans with each other only to be left questioning if it is indeed “just dinner” and not something more. I want to see Kara going to Alex for advice and trying to be subtle about why specifically she thinks her big sister would understand. After all, why not go to your best friend for advice rather than your sister who has her own shit going on? I want to see Kara confide in Lena about her trauma from the PZ. I want to actually hear about the fear visions that Kara herself endured during her stay in the PZ and not just her seeing the stupid fucking phantoms (All the superfiends have seen the phantoms and we as an audience have all seen their individual fear visions so why THE FUCK have we yet to see any of Kara’s?!). I want to see Lena getting up to leave after having such an emotional and cathartic conversation with her best friend, only for Kara to grab her by the wrist and ask her if she would stay. I want to see them get ready for bed and ask which side of the bed they want. I want to see both of them unable to sleep because they’re both overthinking, wondering if it would be inappropriate to reach out and cuddle each other. I want to see them wake up together, limbs tangled with questioning eyes only to be interrupted by a Supergirl emergency or Alex knocking on Kara’s door to check in on her and then Alex commenting curiously on their little sleepover.

I want to see the stakes at an all time high. I want to see Lena willingly sacrifice herself to save Kara in the final battle to defeat Lex and Nyxly. I want to see the look on Lex’s face when he watches the fully-powered kryptonite blast he sent Supergirl shoot Lena in the chest instead. I want to see Lena collapse into Kara’s arms as they fall to the ground. I want to hear Kara’s agonizing scream as she realizes what has just happened. I want to see Lex reload his fucking kryptonite canon and point it at Supergirl only to see that Supergirl has her back turned to him (giving him a clear shot and making it too easy) simply because she is hunched over his sister and crying into her chest with such anguish that only a lover could feel. I want to see the recognition in his eyes when he finally understands that Lena was NEVER a Luthor and never will be because she loves too strongly and that that love is reciprocated.

I want to see, against all odds, Lena surviving and waking up in the tower’s medical bay to a hovering Kara. I want to see Kara cry, and yell, and scream at Lena for doing such a stupid, stupid thing. I want to see Lena pull Kara’s tear-streaked face into her own, resting their foreheads together. I want to see her wipe away Kara’s tears and whisper apologies. I want to see Kara’s grip on Lena’s wrists tighten as she breathes the witch in and say “I can’t lose you. If I lose you, I lose everything. Don’t you understand that?” And I want to hear Lena say in return, “You won’t, baby. I promise you, you won’t.” And I want to see them both finally surrender to the one thing they have both wanted since they first met, a kiss between soulmates.

Is that so fucking hard? Is that genuinely asking too fucking much? Also by the way HUGE missed opportunity this episode, so glaringly atrocious I don’t know why they thought it was even okay...not using/playing the song “I Belive in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness?? Are they fucking joking? It’s the literal title of the fucking episode. You’re telling me they couldn’t play it at the end during the engagement celebration and have everyone enjoying themselves and maybe dancing and Lena and Kara dancing goofily with each other or in the very least standing close and sharing a knowing look as the lyrics “I believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rythym of my heart. There’s a chance we can make it now” playing them out as they’re looking at each other with heart-eyes? Get the fuck out of here CW. What does that stand for anyway? Can’t Write?

Jk but also seriously, what the fuck?

Sincerely,

An exhausted fan.
