ఌcharles leclerc x female reader
ఌall good things come to an end…but for you and charles, is the end really the end?
ఌthis was requested by @luvrrish thank you so much for the request, i had a lot of fun with this one, i feel like i didn’t do it justice because i can only use 10 photos (annoying) but i might do a written version of this 😌🩷

well seems like everyone’s favourite couple is no longer together. charles leclerc and his longtime girlfriend of 7 years y/n y/l/n have accordingly split up. neither have commented on their breakup, but their shared photos have all been deleted from their social accounts and they have unfollowed one another. we wish them both the best in the future and will miss all the charles and y/n content we’ve gotten over these years!
remember to be respectful in their comments!

The Story & Legend of Lord Banegrivm aka Rogueknight
Banegrivm's Discord is Banegrivm#3328 or banegrivm#3328
The Fist is his guild.Say you met him on WOW Emerald Dreams, say you noticed his lovely his armour or something. This bloke won't know what hit em.
Here kitty kitty Pumpkin where are you little mans...I heard him say in over voice chat once a long time ago. Must have cats working his magic for him.
He has been attacking me through the ether. Nothing he has stated online or otherwise, has been made a secret. He habitually blasts his personal business in chat on Emerald Dreams on a regular basis, if you are in his guild. Which I am. I am right here within his ranks. Ive seen people come, ive seen people go. Ive heard about all the victims he ruined mentally/emotionally/ etc and never gets justice served to him for his crimes. He thinks he is s leader, but he is more like the police. He is not good at being the leader is this guild, and here on discord, I have seen it all.
He vapes weed out the side dorr of his place in Mechanicsburg, PA, upper floor, he is behind 2 security doors. He sleeps during the day like a vampire. I know this because ive been stalking him for years. Im in Wisconsin but sometimes go to Pennsylvania for skiing at the family cabin, so yeah I made a pass to verify that he lives there, even though way out the way! But anyways, just to see if what I found lonline as public information, was true, which he does live there. But I dont care, I just forgot the address and moved on, but I know that he is in hiding and has no income, makes everyone here in the guild pay his way, pay for the game subscription, his stuff is all charity for him, he is not on disablility not going there, but anyways he has no income becasue he begs ofr help from me and others, and im sick of it. Now that I know that truth, i feel bad for him. Kind of, but not really, he could get a job and leave his abusvie mom who looks over his shoulder the whole time, he even made her a moderator and its creepy, sometimes I think he is living vicariously through her, like she isnt doing it, she isnt emailing harrassing emails to his rejectors, (all me again), fake accounts) and I think he is living in insanity. He doesnt have an identity anymore, he lost that when he 'lost face" with society, and now an outcast, so he lives in issolation. He dreams of taking us all to court, he said to us, that all the people who stalked him online should pay, yet, he was the only one abusing anyone. Im wise enough to know that, yet here I am, a part of his dark sick twisted circus. He has no idea he added me as a member to The Fist, and then he met Vinnchzzk or " whoever the hell that is".., after "she" left the guild I realized he had no idea that "she" was a HE. He thinks Vinn is the first version of "her" he has met. Vinn is a guy!!!!! Its a big fat joke on him!!!!! He fell for it, she isnt even a real person. April had the charactor online from a guild in another state, and her photos were used but its not actually her, she has nothing to do with the discord, guild, cuild chat, WOW, EverQuest, etc etc etc. She only was in a couple of our D&D sessions, and that whole youtube thing went nowhere fast, The Dept of Dread on youtube playing a Ravenloft campaign in 2021ish?)
He thinks he met the real girl on social media, but "she" met him from EverQuest, a long ass time ago children. Im in my 40s, so that is telling you something, I was just a kid, Ive known his ways for years now. Banegrivm, whoever this charctor is, also goes by Reverend Bob on the Ravenloft game, he narrates and does a fine job and everything, but make another person do the DMing, and he takes all the credit, we are all talking about that, and I have a lot of respect for Bane but I wont say that everything he has done is okay, its just not cool to be honest. I wont usehis real name here so i can avoid defamtion lawsuit, he is waiting for someone to do so. But I can vent myself about a fictional charactor, from a guild that im a part of, but have had not official introduction to any of these people if known for 20 years, im not even sure they are who they are anymore.
I met him online years ago, before WOW. Ive been following this for years, and he will keep yelling at him mom and threatening her if she doesnt cast spells on the women who reject him online. I think he gives her sexual favors to read tarot and give him answers. I dont actually know but that is what another tarot reader told me about them. But I have made fake accounts for him to fall victim too, like the hunter becomes the hunted, he fell victim to my collosal web, spun with love and hate, just for him. Nothing more powerful can come about than that which comes from the heart, and the heart of an earth angel is what he tried to crush with his corrupted roots of rotting hatred and scorn. He is the bane to everything that could be magical or beautiful, or innocent. He is a corruption that is is hiding with his mother, the author of the book the Throne of Piddle, he proclaimed this. Ever since the Circle of Corriander or whatever the fuck it was called, he has made me SICK.
There is an existing post from someone who knew him from the same place and they mentioned barfing or something, so < im not alone. Plus I have heard and seen the screenshots of countless professions of love then turn around and hex the same person to dust. He is a real warlock. He attacks you with his mind and searches you with the email you use for things, dud. He is not that smart. He thinks he duped his victims and the protectors of his victims, by lying about someone making a title of Banegrivm and posing as him doing illegal shit then saying Oh! That wasnt me - they made a fake handle or whatever he would say with his lack of tact. I have nothing against him personally but the fact that he constantly lies in his various online functions pisses me off to no end. Yeah, he definitely was guilty of that long convo witht he person posing as a teen, even though he fell for that bait...He tried to say online that he was innocent and has a problem even being around children because he is afraid of being a monster in other people's eyes, avoiding judgement either way if he is guilty of child-grooming or not, he is still in hiding and hiding his drug habit from his own mother, she is his narcissistic supply, and between her and his grandmother who he claimed raised him, he publically says he is special, and this si how these women raised him to think of himself, as better than other, since his father and soon thereafter stepfather abandoned his mother, (gee I wonder why that would be, maybe she was crazy and couldnt get away from her mother, generations of insanity and narcissism)
Im the kind that keeps freaks monsters and the like up on my wall. Sure I had to add him, to get in his circle, but its all part of the hunt. The hunt for the truth.
So yeah its not great looking for whoever wants to judge me go ahead but i know that as long as he keeps looking up these tumblr pages with his name, he will know that we know ;)

race is a flat earther and al wants to die
when i planned this fic this morning it was a lot more stupid and shit
but then this happened
so im sorry ig
warnings: none really. but angst kinda ig sorta
ship: ehhhhhh ralbert....
word count: 1030 how satisfying
His hand was wrapped tightly around the steering wheel, eyes trained on the road ahead of him, only flicking away every so often to check the rearview mirror.  It was nighttime, meaning it was easy to lose oneself in the daunting shadows of the streets, threatening to pull you under with its strength.  
Silence suffocated the atmosphere as it had often done in the past few months.  Lips stuck together, struggling to make conversation though it had once been easy.  Two hearts that had once been adjoined drifting apart by the second.  Was it a blessing or a curse?  A relief or a burden?  The answers were unclear, but they had a mutual understanding of the shared feeling.  Whatever they had was drawing to a close.  It was weirdly sickening.  Disheartening.  Feeling the grasp of something so strong slipping between their fingertips as their hands that once gripped the other’s so tight barely brushed at the edges.  It was like holding water in open hands.  
They drove in circles around their town, their stomachs full from dinner.  It was Valentine’s day and almost out of sheer obligation, and partly from literal desire, they’d decided upon a date night.  It had been a while since they had done something together, anyway.  
The night was going smoothly.  No petty arguments.  No fuck-ups or frayed ends fraying further.  It was almost like old times.  Almost.
They passed a road sign with a large, cheesy photo of the Earth on it, along with some stupid advertisement for water, and Race smiled sadly, brain wandering as a new memory invaded his mind.
“So, the Earth is flat.”
Albert groaned, letting his book drop to his lap as he scrubbed a hand over his face.
“You’re literally an astrophysics major,” Albert sighed, keeping his palms pressed over his eyes as he fought the impending headache that threatened his skull, “don’t come at me with this shit.”
“Oh come oooonnnn,” Race whined, “Think about it!  People all around the globe support this theory!”
Albert lifted his head, a bemused look etched on his face.  He opened and closed his mouth a few times before scrunching up his eyes and shaking his head.
Race bit back the urge to laugh, Albert’s reaction already better than he had imagined.
“Race, baby,” He sat up, guiding Race to sit down next to him and leaning forward to rub his temples, “I want you to say that last sentence again, but say it slowly.  People all around the globe support it?”
Race couldn’t help the spurt of giggles that passed his lips, his face sprouting into a giddy grin, “Sorry, babe, sorry,” he managed between laughs, noticing that Albert was watching him with an exasperatedly amused expression, “I just wanted to see your reaction.”
Albert studied him for a moment longer, then scoffed and picked his book back up, “You give me pain, love.”
Race situated himself so that he was tucked into Albert’s side and pressed a kiss to his cheek, “Yeah, but you love me, so…”
Albert’s gaze didn’t shift from his book, but his smile turned into something a little more genuine, “Yeah, I guess I do.”
The boys in the memory seemed to differ immensely from the boys who sat in the front seat of Race’s old RAV4 now.  They had been more carefree.  More open with each other.  Less scared to say something wrong.  But at the same time, more scared.  Less resilient to when his right to speak up was thwarted.  He had grown to be more guarded with himself.  To hold his ground better, despite how detrimental standing up for himself seemed to be.
They passed a train station and another memory resurfaced, the intimacy of that moment making it almost more painful.
Albert’s lips were soft against his, hands gripping his biceps as they kissed slowly.  It was well past midnight.  Long since the time when other pedestrians swarmed the area, looking to go home after a long day of work.  
They were alone, their solitude invigorating.
Albert lifted his hand, lacing his fingers into the back of Race’s hair and deepening their kiss.  They were close, warm, happy.  In love.
He wasn’t sure how long they had been there, listening to music and talking before losing themselves in each other, but it was amazing.  Every stupid, cheesy love movie made sense in that moment.  It was cliche, but real and raw and Race couldn’t be happier.
Albert pulled away and they broke apart completely, chests heaving and eyes glinting.  
Albert traced his fingers lovingly along Race’s jaw, placing another, softer kiss on his lips.  Race allowed his eyes to flutter shut again.
“My god, I’m in love with you,” Albert murmured, voice barely audible.
Race leaned his forehead against Albert’s, “I’m in love with you, too.”
Race swallowed, emotion rising in his throat.  He missed it.  He missed the long kisses and the strong embraces.  He missed them.  
The urge to reach out and take hold of Albert’s hand soon became too much to bear and he shifted his arm over the console.  He could see Albert’s look of surprise in his peripheral when he intertwined their fingers, but he stayed adamant and a moment later, he felt Albert squeeze back, rubbing his thumb over his knuckles.  Just like old times.
So why didn’t it feel like it?
He rounded the turn into Albert’s neighborhood, driving on mental autopilot to the house he’d driven to so many times.  He pulled up gradually, putting the car in park almost reluctantly.  Almost.
They sat in silence for a moment.
“Tonight was fun,” Race said, breaking the quiet.
Albert looked at him, smiling.  It didn’t look right.
“Yeah, it was really nice.”
His remark was genuine, but scripted.  
“I love you,” Race said, leaning forward to peck Albert on the lips, “Happy Valentine’s day.”
Albert reciprocated, but the warm feeling that once accompanied the motion was nonexistent, a weird pang of sadness taking its place.
“I love you, too,” Albert said, opening the car door, “Drive home safe.  Happy Valentine’s day.”
Race waved, watching as he walked to his front door.  They knew where they stood, but god did it hurt.
-
*hi wait this is me ten minutes after posting i edited it cuz i forgot to italicize memories lmao*
so happy valentine’s day lol
thanks for reading, chiefs

A kpop newbie’s reaction to LOONA
you know i had to do it to ‘em
Alexa: bold
Alex: italic
okay so today you're reacting to Loona!
o, noice
they just debuted like two days ago and everyone is crying
damn. ok but do any of them speak english <<
y es
n  u  t
i believe i already told you, they built this Loonaverse, and released a girl each month
yeh, you told me a few things
right. all of them have an animal and a color. the first five girls have an additional location, then the next three girls have a superpower, and the last four girls have a fruit
...alexa. t-twelve
yeah
<-<
>->
alright fam hit me up
okay, the first girl that was released, back in 2016, is heejin
Tumblr media
damn she looks like a disney princess
she does;;
Tumblr media
this is aN INSULT
isnT IT
someone arrest her, she's not allowed to be so cute. it is illegal.
how old is she and what does she do
uhh she's 21and she's a singer
she iS BORN IN 2000
... ALEXA WE'RE MOVING TO KOREA PACK YOUR SHIT
ill give you her music video now
alright
the location is hard to guess, so just try to guess her color and animal
hmm
*ViViD*
i'm not watching this u freak, you know about my arachnophobia
y tho. there are no spiders
THERE IS ONE IN THE THUMBNAIL, BIG AND RED
there are no spiders, so play the song, its good. no girl has the spider as her animal u coward
the song's aight. i'd listen to it in a cafe. her animal is obviously a bunny and her color is either red or white. asian girls with thick thighs are too powerful alexa. someone needs to do something about them. it's a health hazard.
omf. her color is actually hot pink;; but u got her animal right lol
o damn. well pink is the mix between red and white isn't it >>
ooOOO
pFFF
she's part of the first subunit, 1/3
ah, so she's a colonel
omG. i mean, y'know, subunits are some of the members that form like a band of their own and put out music
with 12 bloody members, i can imagine
loona has three. anyway, a few things about heejin
hit me
Tumblr media
she’s a whole cutie
o gee i couldn't notice
sdfdsdf she likes dad jokes and randomly breaks into silly and awkward dances but she doesn't care. she's also afraid of pigeons 
the guards would have to restrain me from pinching her cheeks if i was ever in the same room with her. and to be fair those things are chaotic evil. one literally flew into my face once.
omf
they also carry diseases similarly to rats. except they fly. so yeah, i can see why one would be afraid.
she also named a rabbit from the set "heekki". hee from her name, and kki from the korean word for rabbit, tokki. and proceeded to ask if she could adopt it.
that's adorable go away i am stone cold
is there anything else u want to know about her. her location is paris, and the first ever video of her beside her mv was her repeating random french phrases she knew in the airport
pfffF.
the next member is hyunjin
Tumblr media
they’re all so pretty i cry
they are :(
they are like porcelain dolls, but without the creepiness of a doll, just the beauty and cuteness
i KNOW. so, how old is she
hmm 20 and she's a rapper
she is ALSO born in 2000 ;D and she's a singer
i-
here's her music video
after mark's video on that cat game, the thumbnail horrifies me
o-oh
alight so her animal is a kitteh. so she's the neko of the group, noice... is this a thriller film, geez.
ghjkjhghjk its just a kitten smh
an e v i l kitten
cats cant be evil. her song is very kdrama-ish
her color is... i honestly have no idea
her color appears in the first third of the video
green? blue?
she wears it
lemon
yeh, yellow. and yes her animal is cat lol. what about the song? it’s a drastic change from the last one
ok that last part horrified me. idk it's a weird mix between depression and a drug trip
Tumblr media
so, about this baby. her location is tokyo, and she is the savage one
o-oh
shes the one that kept a blank face on a rollercoaster while the others were screaming. also, she really likes bread and croissants
and she's not a rapper smh. well, she does have a pretty voice.
she does~ and shes really sporty, practiced a lot of sports before becoming an idol
alright, off to my wife. this is haseul.
Tumblr media
and no photo makes her justice
i-
Tumblr media
UGH queen
that jawline fam
Tumblr media
i’m sorry i just. literally have never seen such a beautiful woman
alright by now i'm about 70% convinced that these people are created in underground governmental labs
m e. aight, how old is she
fucc it, she's uhh 18
she's actually born in 1997 dfgfdsdfgh
OF COURSE. sigh. that's just my luck
but i understand u
they all look between 15 and 20 anyway does it really matter- i- she's more pretty than she is cute. respecc.
this is her music video
her color is bleagh. i mean bleuugh. blue
omf
she's a parappa the rapper. but she's also a singer. idk her voice sounds like she can rap. was that plane just there and they used it or did they buy a gigantic plane prop for the video
(i really hoped alex would say this because this video exists)
i-
she’S TRYING. her color is green but her location is iceland so liek,,, i guess the writers clashed ideas
blasphemy. they should have went for turquoise
her animal is a dove. she’s also the leader of the group, and the mom friend #1. she can speak english but she has a cute accent which i Love
awh
aaaand she’s a seal enthusiast
o. that's something
they went to iceland so she was like "omg a seal!!! hi !! that was a seal!!"
pffa whole cutie
she is :( she’s also really funny
anyway, the next one makes me feel worthless. this is yeojin
Tumblr media
another flawless creation of the secret korean labs
Tumblr media
her age?
that tissue-printing chamber in that korean lab from avengers 2? not fiction - they use it to create idols. uhh 19
:D she is 15!!!1
...
and turns 16 in november !!
Goodbye. Tty later, i gotta pack my stuff
dfgfdGHJH here is her song. its very cute because, well, shes a child
L O L I C O N    A L E R T. those three dudes are terrifying. is that the joker wearing a frog head
mmmmaybeh
this is weird lmfao. aaand there's the foot fetish
you’RE HORRIBLE
why is the frog dude going all roaring reeo on her only to give her a fucking present
well, its a song about how she doesn’t want the relationship to move too fast, so she doesn’t want to kiss the dude just yet
that ending was just... idk man. this one broke me. her color is red, and her animal is a frog because that's the only animal in the foreground here idfk
her color is orange, close enough. the other members call her "bean" because shes the youngest and rlly smol and chubby.
awh ;;
and everyone treats her like a baby lmao
well, what did u expect. hmm i think i like the first one the best so far
o, alright
so, these past four girls and the fifth one form the subunit 1/3. the fifth one was introduced through the subunit's first song, but i'll give u their second song cuz its Better
*check out “Sonatine it’s superior*
basically, these girls have a very dreamy concept with a lot of piano and strings. the fifth girl is the pink haired one, and baby yeojin isn’t here cuz her grades were dropping lmao
i-
shhhh just listen to the song
this song gives me the sad
u gotta appreciate the animu songs
i do, i was literally gonna say that this one somewhat reminds me of miia's second song
same !!
her color is W H I T E like my teeth. p u r e  w h i t e
she haS HER OWN mv
o
the fifth member is vivi
Tumblr media
shes chinese and the oldest

that building is aesthetic would hang out there with my weird friends 10/10. the song is odd, but it's nice
i think the song really suits her voice
it does! that's why it works
her animal is an owl
n o i c e
also in one of her vlogs all she does is talk about food. she also keeps the members company while theyre shooting their mvs!! and shes also a reaction meme queen. she sings, but her main strength is dancing
yeah, i can tell
oh right !! she is in the odd eye circle subunit, and these girls have super powers. imma tell you now, the odd eye circle members are in different planes. like, theyre in different dimensions, not the flying planes lol
umm alright..?
anyway, her super power is speed. aaaand i think thats it with kim lip
the next one is a fan favourite. jinsoul
Tumblr media
oof. idk man the blond is weird
oh, is it. i dunno, i feel like it suits her.
hammers in that "created in an underground lab to be flawless" vibe. idk, maybe a darker shade? like a golden blonde?
most people choose her song as their favourite
singing in the rain? is tom holland gonna come in and dance to "umbrella"?
oh my god
if not i'll be disappointed. the song reminds me of minecraft intros lmao. especially that synth part
geT OUT LMAO
the dancing is lewd af tho. so 8/10
well, so was eclipse. girl crush land
is she a necromancer? because those hips kill me and bring me back to life
i knOW. she can sing, rap and dance. triple threat. okay you cant possibly be wrong about her color and animal
uhh blue and fish. idk wot fish but a fish
y e s. its a blue betta fish. she said, and i quote "the blue betta fish is one that needs to be kept alone, because it eats the other fish in her tank. so i'm going to take over the group like that"
i- IS THE ENTIRE SECOND SUBUNIT SASSY
SDFGHGFDSSDFGH shes very oblivious and confused also idk if i should show you this but its hella funny and falls into the dumb blonde stereotype. she acts cute in a live stream and then she just
*that beautiful face plant video*
and at the enD KIM LIP IS LIKE "yes. whats next?" and looks through the comments
i-is she ok
yeah, she just stays there like ten seconds and then lifts her head while laughing. her superpower is teleportation btw. anyway, shes just very oblivious and awkward
nice man
the next member is choerry
Tumblr media
oof, she qt. her color is purple.
yes. she doesnt like cherries btw
of course. why doesn't she like them? they're gud ;; maybe they remind her of all the bad puns she must have had to endure
i- most likely tbh. she prefers her actual name too sdfgfdsasdf. but choerry is a play on her name. cho yerim.
ah, i see
here's her song that takes a very weird turn and supports further the girl crush concept lawl
i expect lewd dancing. wot’s her animal?
a bat
e d g y. they made her eat a cherry. the monsters
i know, the madmen
o, here comes the lewd dancing. oof, that was short, but it was cool. back to... this??
it happens more than once. hmm, its a really nice song tbh
yeah, it was pretty nice
shes the bright, positive one
Tumblr media
and managed to feed a squirrel out of her hand, so shes a princess confirmed
o damn how tall is she. she looks pretty tall in this pic
oh my god all of them are so small i literally cannot cope
;-; pure babies
hmm i think this is old information but the tallest is 165 sdfsGHJKJHJ
o damn
it says here shes 160. p u r e. her super power is plane travelling, like, shes the only one who can meet both kim lip and jinsoul. thats why i told you about the dimension thing
..alright..? this seems pretty redundant, idk. the whole superpower thing and the different planes thing is just odd. what purpose do they serve
well, its basically a whole universe, i guess it ties to the whole story
there's a story? uhh
yeah, but we won't get into that too much. here's odd eye circle's debut song
oh, this song is... something. i could live without the weird distorted voice. fucc yes more lewd dancing. well, that was trippy.
anyway, the third subunit is called yyxy, and it has "fall from eden" as their concept
o
the first member from this subunit is yves, pronounced as eve but it gotta be fancy y'know
Tumblr media
oo, noice. please for the love of god tell me her color is white
no one's color is white
well, it’s not a color ;D
ug h. anyway, here’s her song.
hecc yes more lewd dancing
omf
the song is.. odd. GET OUTTA HERE HER COLOR IS TOTALLY WHITE. EVERYTHING HERE I WHITE. SHE WEARS ALL WHITE.
:( her apple is burgundy
what. is that- is that her color
yeah
...i quit.
fgfdghjkghjGHJ
well, that was something
her name is eve, so people speculate the song and mv are about her living a normal life after falling from eden y'know. anyway, shes the mom friend #2
o, interesting pFF
she was very awkward at the beginning, when she first was introduced
awh ;;
and her animal is a swan
AND HER COLOR ISN'T WHITE GET OUTTA HERE
fgfdsdfg shes also pretty savage now that she isnt as shy, but she takes care of the members, since shes one of the older membersGHJKJHGHJK
wholesome
shes very cute i like her uwu
the next one is an actual animu waifu. her name is chuu
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i-
and she is the full of cuteness member
yeah i can teLL. the second image scraped my stone heart
yes, she softens everyone. here’s her mv, and the other girl is yves. and chuu is more or less in love with her. lesbian icon
alexa ur doing the thing, but reverse
SHES LITERALLY STALKING YVES AND GIVING HER AN APPLE AND THE SONG IS ABOUT ROMANTIC LOVE get outta here
ALL OF THESE BANDS ARE BASICALLY FAMILIES YALL SHIPPING THEM IS INCEST
ASDFGFDSDFGHJ but yves just shot a heart at her
it's a music video smh
hey, im not saying shes gay for yves in real life, just in, like, the universe theyre building
ah, i see. the choreography is gud. and the whole music video is nice. and the song is nice too. alright, what's her color
peach
do these people only know red and blue variations. THERE ARE OTHER COLORS OUT THERE
her animal is penguin, hence her posing with a penguin plushie in that photo
awh ;;
and her fruit is strawberry. she also sang a kids show ost before she became an idol :( and the other members make her act cute sometimes in front of the camera because everyone loves her. take dis
:'c
when she does the winking thing she stops and asks "why am i doing this..." and the others are just "because its cutE"
s-STONE COLD I AM S T O N E C O L D

shes mostly a rapper
yeah, i can picture that. that was a pretty nice song
her color is eden green :3
n o i c e
her animal is butterfly and her fruit is pineapple
but does she like it on pizza tho >> that is the question
she's kinda cold, but shes pretty oblivious, the staff messed with her saying that "adam" is her stage name (adam translates to "small" in korean) and she actually believed them and she didnt get the joke either affdsdfg
;-; god bless
shes pretty savage tho, we have three so far
oof
she is olivia hye
Tumblr media
and she does not appreciate olive jokes
she's pretty 0^0
she is~
wot's her personality
shes very blunt and she seems like someone that might succeed at being a famous blogger
o damn
she always speaks her mind. i haven’t really seen her play around, but that doesn’t mean i don’t find her funny sdfgfsdfg
pff the mom friend
hmm, she doesnt really take care of the others, shes the second youngest
o rlly
but she does boast about how shes the only one without a fear of heights jasdfjks
pfff alright, hmu with her song
her song is my favourite
*”Egoist” ftw*
s m o o t h. yeah, this is a nice song
ikr !!
aaand more lewd dancing the world is kind to me today
they never give it up
wot's her color and animal
her color is gray, her animal is wolf and her fruit is plum
o damn
here’s their song~
this is hype af. this song is nice too but it has odd parts
i feel like the quality of their music increased with time. the first songs are also nice but you can tell these ones are better put together
well, it makes sense
it has been two years yes asdfdsdfg
o o f
here's a predebut song. the first ever with all of them, but not their debut the intro and the chorus are the best parts ngl
that's a lot of idols fam
eh, 12 isnt that rare. BRRRRRRRRRAH
where the esketit at. that was a pretty good predebut song, all things considered. they fit a bit of everything in there
yep, here’s their debut song
this one's trippy. ah, that's why it's called "hi high" they're saying hi to me, and i'm high after watching it. UOUOUOUAAAHH
I ONLY LISTEN TO MUSIC WITH MEANINGFUL LYRICS
HLBJLNKBJLNKBKLN
do you remember any of them as your favourite or did everything already vanish
i like chuu and the last one but i think the first is still my fave
oo alright, i see. any last thoughts?
well-managed for a 12 idol group, nice choreographies (& lots of lewd dancing >>), plenty of good songs, gud stuff overall, 10/10. 11/10 for the UOUOUOUOOAAAHHH
noicE
alexa here!! oof, this took so long to put together;; also if haseul sees this please marry me goddess ily

The Rain Creates Colors For Life T Shirt
The Rain Creates Colors For Life T Shirt, Sweater And Hoodie
T-shirts have taken what it means to be a wardrobe staple and leveled it up. And up and up and up. When wearing a suit all the time was the norm, wearing a T-shirt was the antithesis! and the The Rain Creates Colors For Life T Shirt: relaxed, unconcerned with professionalism, and comfortable. But now that wearing a suit is a special occasion and not necessarily the everyday standard, T-shirts have become so much more than the post-work shirt of choice. Now, there are quality T-shirts for every part of life that requires a shirt being worn. There are silky tees that go with suits, slubby tees that go with jeans, and pocket tees that go everywhere in between. There are T-shirts for sleeping, T-Shirts for running, and T-shirts for just hanging out.

Of course, with all of that variety, that means there are a lot of T-shirts to choose from. A lot. Because even once you have down where you’re wearing your tee, you can change up the fabric blend (pique, slub, or stretch), the neckline (crew or V), the hemline (straight or curved), and the fit (tight, fitted, or oversized). Some tees are better fit for certain outfits and some work with ’em all. So, we’re helping you narrow it down. We picked the best T-shirt brands, which make the best T-shirts, and chose the best of the best from there! and the The Rain Creates Colors For Life T Shirt. These options have range—color, price, and occasion—as should the T-shirt wardrobe you’re about to build out. Here are the 30 best T-shirts for men to buy now for all occasions, including options from our favorite brands like Buck Mason, Everlane, Todd Snyder, and more.

Kapital reimagines a classic smiley face on the cross-section of a tree trunk. Made from lightweight cotton with a regular fit, this tee can be worn with just about anything. And who won’t smile back when they see you wearing it with confidence? Volcom uses original graphics from street artist Jerry Rugg (a.k.a. bird) to craft this three-dimensional, slim-fit pocket tee. Rugg is known for creating eye-catching art that reminds viewers of the importance of nature. The durable screen print is designed to resist cracking and peeling. Made from ultra-soft Pima cotton, this graphic was commissioned for Japanese illustrator Akira Sorimachi. The artist creates his take on a British summer day, set with gentle pastels and color-blocking. This graphic tee is simple and lightweight, perfect for the type of casual summer day it depicts! and the The Rain Creates Colors For Life T Shirt

Music merchandise is all the rage these days, and apparel brands are happy to oblige consumer demand for shirts that represent their favorite artists (or a parent’s favorite band from the ’70s or ’80s). Here, Yves Saint Laurent spotlights English rock band The Smiths on a classic black-and-white jersey tee! and the The Rain Creates Colors For Life T Shirt. Find the iconic Bape tiger emblazoned across this solid graphic tee. The tiger’s face is divided by a zipper, a nod to the streetwear brand’s cult hoodies, and jackets. The shirt comes in multiple colors, but the fierce feline jumps off the fabric on all of them.

MY THOUGHTS THROUGHOUT THE "CHOOSE OR LOSE" EPISODE OF PLL. THEY DONT ALL ADD UP BECAUSE THEYRE JUST MY SNAP THOUGHTS THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE AS I WAS WATCHING 💖💖💖 •Toby is ad and has someone on the inside to get the game out of Ali's house. There was no one else in the house besides em Ali and the police how else was someone getting that game past without raising suspicion. They would've had to get it all the way down stairs. •spencer has a twin who is on AD team. There are random scenes (like wren scene) where spencer is wearing all black with no personality in her outfits. During the episode, in just one day spencer ha two different outfits one normal (she was wearing when they where in the brew talking about how there's only 24hours left) then later that night she goes to Toby all in black. In this scene, Toby says to spencer "that's not the spencer I know" and she just say "hmm". also her wound looks more like a stab wound than a gunshot wound. The scar would be bigger and not completely healed. (I know for us it's been 6 months since she was shot but after the break they picked up where they left off with spencer in the ambulance) •Ezra says he's going to get to the bottom of "this" meaning the police seizing arias goods. And then aria is miraculously out of the woods. Nobody else says this in the scene but him. •I don't think AD double crossed aria either or set her up to be exposed. If that's what AD wanted they would've just outed her and AD was reluctant to meet aria "I don't think that's a good idea" sounds protective of feelings in a way. It's something Mary would say to spencer. Also AD never double crossed aria at all in the episode, they gave her everything she wanted including putting the body in her boot because aria said on the phone she was willing to go down for her friends. • when AD came into it (after 5 year jump) all the black hoodies were burned because AD wanted a new "costume" (that's what they search on the laptop) and now they've just gone back to black hoodies? Smells like monA. • also in the scene when aria is on the phone to AD, the part after when mona puts the headsets down she's wearing a navy hoodie. I know it's not black but when does mona wear hoodies? Only when she's A. •I had a theory that one of the parents killed charlotte as an act of justice for what she did to the girls and after this episode I think it's Ashley. In the scene with Hannah at the start she's "so quick to think" Hannah needs help. Maybe because she thinks Hannah is going down for something she did. She was kinda the same with wilden and the gun. In the scene where Hannah and Caleb are getting married she tells Hannah Caleb told her everything and then starts to go into it but cuts herself off and says "we'll talk about it tomorrow, tonight is yours". Meaning "tomorrow" she's going to talk strategy about killing charlotte. • mona seems to know everything. It seems like she's trying to take the heat off of her a bit and put it onto aria. Her tone has changed kinda like season 2 mona when she was a playing the game(she said herself to Hannah the game is addictive and getting involved would be dangerous) also The way mona looked at aria in the last episode when she got the two pieces was a "you did a good job" kinda look, like she was "rewarding" aria for her work. She didn't look at all shocked that aria had just randomly found two pieces. She didn't go over and say like "wtf how did you get these" like healthy, post A, mona would've. • why would tanner bring Toby to town for questioning when he hasn't had anything to do with spencer or the girls in 5 years (only Caleb) and he hasn't had anything to do with what's going on he's barely been around (like he's literally had hardly any storyline in season 7) • spencer asked mona for concrete evidence yet how did she know to send them to the woods? How did she know aria was going to be there? It was never said in the phone call. Unless she's the one who sent aria there. • spencer says to aria "no one got hurt" when she was part of the A team, but she literally kidnapped a child! Spencer hasn't lost everything because of aria at all! If it wasn't aria AD would've found someone else to put that recording in the house, so either way it would've happened. Mary said she was happy Veronica heard it. Spencer's parents were getting divorced a couple of seasons back because of the whole lying Melissa/Bethany thing but got back together when the girls where in the dollhouse. They're getting divorced because Peter helped kill a woman not because aria helped her find out! Also they're all turning their back on aria but alls she did was trash a nursery and play a recording all the other girls have done much MUCH worse things in the past! Don't know if this overreaction is part of a clue but it's very peculiar. • when aria is on the phone to AD in the car it sounds like AD actually wanted to meet her. •I think Hannah has started clicking onto mona. she says "did anyone notice anything different with mona this morning" she's notice her change in attitude. • I think aria has a twin (maybe AD) tanner says she saw a red light camera photo of aria full frontal. If it was a mask the police would've been able to tell it's their job. So someone (twin/AD) was driving around in case aria needed an alibi. •Ezra says "I started this relationship lying to you" and tells aria that maybe he still deserves to go to jail. Maybe he's feeling guilty of something recent? •Ali doesn't say "I swear" to not blaming anyone else. •so we're assuming aria told Ezra about everything she's done (she said she would tell him after they've canoodled) and it'd been a whole 24hours so if he knows why is he just happily off playing Sherlock with Caleb. He probably knows arias plan to hand her self in so shouldn't he be with her? Or are we assuming they broke up since she did say "you probably won't be around after I tell you" •mona wearing all black like her monA outfits! And she smirks when the jail cells go up like she's happy they're all going to jail. The way she's looking at the game she looks a bit like mentally ill mona(off her meds), kinda like a child playing heir favourite game. And she puts her glasses back on like she's loser mona again and we all know "loser mona" was how she even became A in the first place. In the new promo she says "I'm sick of people stealing the game from me" maybe she stole it from AD and AD stole it back. TAKING FROM ALL THIS I THINK MONA IS AD (well not AD but trying to be) THERE IS MORE EVIDENCE AGAIST HER AND SHE EVEN SAID TO HANNAH THAT SHE WAS JEALOUS OF THE GAME AD HAD MADE 💖💖💖

Vic mignogna
Man, it’s quite interesting how when your movie does well suddenly everyone jumps on a bandwagon!  Fellow VA friends that were hanging out with you the previous day and sending you kissy emojis now come out crying how you’ve abused them and threatening to sue people when they want evidence!  It’s absolutely hilarious how people’s stories is now enough proof just because HEY ITS NUMBERS, LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS! WE DONT NEED VALID PROOF!  But they can’t find a single raw footage from security cameras, or footage recorded of HOURS with him interacting with fans that could actually get him in trouble with the police, incase you’re wondering why none of them make a police report! Or why all those that warned eachother bout Vic didn’t go themselves even though they felt like hes suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a danger to children! 
It doesn’t matter if he grew up in an italian family, european descent where its normal to kiss people on the cheeks and hug! Its not as if people there do it as a greeting because hello! Not everything gotta be sexual and full of malicious intent, America. Try and remember that!
When the worst people come up with is him taking a ‘seat’ on them and thats sexual offence now! Yikes!
I stand with Vic bitches, he isn’t a saint, he shouldnt have been so naive and do whatever and im sure it got over his head sometimes and so he forgets to ask people if its okay with them when it’s already become normal for him. Not like every story of a girl who was uncomfortable with it- ( Oh the horror, i had drunk men grab my butt and try to make moves on me but that must have been excrutiating, a kiss on the cheek... Unimaginable pain ! ) -dont even speak up! They just say they went along with it and then call the poor man who tearfully apologized, defended LGBT community against extremist christians a fucking rapist!
And the funniest thing is how some of them now call everyone who disagrees with em an alt right, wannabe ben shapiros who wanna destroy ‘’snowflakes’’, or whatever the hell they come up with next! Not like theres people from the radical left who are telling us to blindly believe victims! As if that hasn’t ruined COUNTLESS innocent men reputation, carreer, LIVES before! Or those who photoshop photos to try and make him look as bad as possible but of course, its just the alt right! Give me a fucking break, folks. God, dont even get me started on all the HAHA ALL THE VIC STANS ARE MALE ANIME FANS LOOOL for people who preach equality, you sure as hell invalidate other people’s opinions based on their gender. If you are one of these, please fuck right off because I can literally not put myself in the mindset of bigoted, hatefull man haters.
What this needs is a proper investigation, literally, going onto the internet to spread all this shit was the worst idea ever.  It’s very sad how this will affect future ACTUAL rape victims trying to get justice from their experiences, because this is the exact shit that makes people skeptical and think twice!  Now on the other side, there is reasons to be fishy. But theres also plenty of reasons to believe it was a misunderstanding from both sides, seeing most people never tell it up to his face and just play along with it! Its a shame, but people really can’t read your minds or always notice what you might think is obvioous ‘im uncomfortable’ signs. If this had been about him just being innapropriate, careless or naive y’all could make some really good arguments but to ruin his carreer over this and slander him as a rapist and pedophile, homophobe and all this stuff?? It’s so over the top and extreme! Y’all dont even wait, you just pounce! Shame on that behaviour.
So, in conclusion, this post is a bit of a mess im not bothering to reread it because i could eat a whole horse rn but #IStandWithVic Unless y’all finally find more than just story telling as proof from questionable folks, dont expect people to roll over in submission and fight along with you! Some of us still believe in the good of people, the benefit of doubt, innocent until proven guilty, because that’s what WE’D want if we were to ever get falsely accused and you probably aswell! Goodnight.

Blockbusters assemble: can the mega movie exist the digital epoch?
From Star Wars sequels to superhero franchises, blockbusters still regulate the film industry. But with Amazon and Netflix tearing up the release planneds, are they on shaky dirt?
Is the blockbuster in difficulty? On the surface, to intimate such a thing might seem as foolhardy as siding out the incorrect envelope at the most difficult contest of the cinema docket because you were busy tweeting photographs of Emma Stone. This is the blockbuster were talking about. Its Luke Skywalker, Jurassic World, Disney, The Avengers, Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Pixar. Its the Rock punching his fist through a structure. Its the effects-driven cultural juggernaut that powers the entire film industry. Does it look as if its in trouble?
A glance at the balance sheet for its first year to year would cement the view that the blockbuster is in insulting health. Total gross are higher at this stage than any of the past five years. Logan, the Lego Batman Movie and Kong: Skull Island have already been attracted in big audiences globally. And then theres Beauty and the Beast, a genuine culture phenomenon, currently hastening its room up the all-time higher-rankings. All this and theres still a new Star Wars instalment, another Spider-Man reboot, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Alien: Agreement, Blade Runner 2049, plus sequels of (* deep breath *) Guardians of the Galaxy, Cars, World War Z, Kingsman, Transformers, Fast and the Furious, Planet of the Apes, Despicable Me, Thor and Pirates of the Caribbean still to come. Hardly the signs of a crisis, it would be fair to say.
Dig a bit deeper though and the foundations that blockbusters are built on start to look precariou. Last-place month, Variety published a fib that covered a picture of an manufacture scared to death by its own future, as shopper flavors change with changes in engineering. Increased influence from Netflix and Amazon, those digital-disruption barbarians, has caused the big studios to consider changing the style they secrete movies. The theatrical window, the 90 -day cushion between a films debut in cinema and its liberation on DVD or stream, is set to be reduced to as little as three weeks in an attempt to bolster diminishing residence entertainment marketings. Its a move that service industries sees as necessary, as younger viewers develop more adaptable, portable considering procedures, and certainly many smaller creations have begun to liberate their films on-demand on the same day as in cinemas it was one of the reasons that Shia LaBeoufs Man Down grossed a much-mocked 7 in cinemas.

At the same time, investors from China long thought to be Hollywoods saviour have suddenly refrigerated their interest, cancelling major studio bargains as the Chinese box office digests growing sufferings( with domestic ticket sales merely increasing 2.4% in 2016 against a 49% rise its first year before)and the governments crackdown on overseas investment starts to bite. Add to that got a couple of high-profile recent flops Scarlett Johanssons Ghost in the Shell, Matt Damons The Great Wall, the unintentionally creepy Chris Pratt/ Jennifer Lawerence sci-fi Passengers, Jake Gyllenhaals Alien knock-off Life and you have an manufacture thats not as prospering as the blockbuster bluster might suggest.
Hollywoods response to this instability has been to double down, places great importance on blockbusters to the exclusion of just about everything else. In the past few decades the summer blockbuster season has mission-crept its practice well into outpouring, a phenomenon that has been period cultural global warming; this year, Logan was released a merely three days after the Oscars resolved. The arising influence is of a full calendar year of blockbusters, with a small drop-off for Oscars season in January and February and even in that point this year we are continuing insured the secretes of The Lego Batman Movie, The Great Wall, John Wick 2 and the lamentable Monster Trucks.
Meanwhile, the mid-budget movie that hardy perennial that used to help prop up the industry by expenditure relatively little and often paying fortunes( belief Sophies Choice or LA Confidential) has significantly been abandoned by the major studios, its potential profit margins seen as insufficiently high when the cost of things such as sell is factored in. Which isnt to say that mid-budget movies dont subsist, its simply that theyre being made by smaller, independent studios witness Arrival and Get Out for recent successful precedents or most commonly as TV series.( Theres that Netflix, interrupting stuffs again .)
In essence, what this all means for service industries is that its blockbuster or bust. Studios have looked at the altering scenery and decided to react by filling it with superheroes, activity aces and CGI creatures, doing more blockbusters than they used to, but fewer cinemas in total. The old tentpole formula, where a few large-scale films would shelter the mid-range and low-budget material, has significantly been abandoned. The blockbusters are about reducing the films these studios cause down to a minimum, suggest Steven Gaydos, vice-president and executive editor at Variety. They represent nothing but large-hearted bets. You have to keep improving a bigger and more efficient spaceship.
Its a high-risk strategy and one that, in accordance with the arrangements of Disney and their Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar franchises, has brought large-scale reinforces. But this sudden ratcheting up of the stakes means that the cost of flop has already become far more pronounced. Last year Viacom was forced to take a $ 115 m( 92 m) writedown on Monster Trucks, while Sony took a writedown of nearly$ 1bn on their entire cinema disagreement after a faltering couple of years.

While those losses might be explained away as research results of bad bets on bad cinemas Monster Trucks was infamously based on an idea by an managers five-year-old son they hint at the cataclysm who are able to ensue if a broader, industry-wide trouble were to present itself. Namely, what if the public loses its appetite for the blockbuster?
Its not entirely without precedent: in the late 1950 s, as video threatened to plagiarized a march on cinema, studios responded by croaking large-hearted. Spectacle was seen as the key: westerns, musicals and sword-and-sandal epics reigned. But gatherings soon flourished tired of these hackneyed categories and ticket sales continued to shrink. That experience service industries lived, thanks firstly to the insertion of vitality provided for under the edgy, arty New Hollywood movies, then later with the early blockbusters such as Jaws and Star Wars.
Could such a mass tuning-out happen again? Surely, theres an creepy echo in the way that Hollywood has reacted to changing times with length and spectacle, but also in their narrow focus. Once an sexual thriller such as Fatal Attraction or a musical drama such as Footloose might have reasonably been considered a blockbuster. Nowadays the blockbuster almost exclusively resides in the action, imagination, kids cinema or superhero genres.
The superhero film in particular towers large-scale over the industry, as every studio tries to replicate the formula to be prepared by Marvel. Ever-more niche caped reformers are being given their own films Batgirl, Aquaman, the Gotham City Sirens in an attempt to exhume a brand-new Deadpool. Spider-Man and Batman have once again been rebooted in an attempt to freshen up the respective franchises. And, of course, everyone wants their own cinematic cosmo a enormous galaxy of references that together can generate a apparently infinite number of spin-offs, sequels and prequels. At this very moment, the creators of Call of Duty are actively seeking to turn their gruesome shoot-em-ups into a series of interlocking movies, while James Cameron a director whose preferred method of cracking a seed is with a sledgehammer, you believe is creating a nature around his smash-hit Avatar, replete with five sequels, graphic fictions, actual novels and, most bewilderingly, a Cirque du Soleil show.
These shared natures actively court the kind of gatherings who will turn up to every movie, buy the action chassis, don the cosplay outfits and eat the branded breakfast cereal in other words, teenage boys. The dominant ideology is fanboy culture, articulates Gaydos. It is teenage. It is the conflicts by violence. It is wish-fulfillment, spectacle and recreation audio and ferocity, if we are seeking to get Shakespearean.
Truly, the geeks have inherited the earth. But what about the rest of us? How many have the time, vitality or inclination to sit through, answer, all the movies in the forthcoming Universal Monsters shared universe, which begins this year with a reboot of The Mummy and has resurrections of Wolf Man, Van Helsing and the Invisible Serviceman in pre-production? Greenlighting this sequence of cinemas without knowing whether anyone is going to bother to watch even the first of them looks like a risky undertake, and the recent quandary of the Divergent YA film dealership, whose recent cinema is being exhausted as a TV movie due to lack of interest, offers up a cautionary anecdote that studios should perhaps be paying attention to.
Cars 3. Picture: Allstar/ WALT DISNEY PICTURES
But whats impressing about all these blockbusters is how youth-skewed they are, at a time when a one-third of cinemagoers in the US are over the age of 50. Older gatherings can enjoy The Avengers as much as everyone else, of course, but pitching your sell primarily towards young people is a risky programme. Young people tend to be the most fickle gathering, one whose attention is split in a million places, remarks Gaydos. Theyre likewise the audience least able to splash out on cinema tickets. And of course theyre an audience who are becoming increasingly accustomed to watching content on their telephones, laptops and smart TVs.
In other messages, theyre the ones likely to oblige through the seismic change the industry is currently fretting over. If they lose interest in the modern blockbuster in accordance with the rules that younger gatherings turned away from the countries of the western, musicals and historical epics in the 1960 s, the studios will have to find something glistening and brand-new to wave in their faces and this time they wont have something akin to the New Hollywood to courtroom them with, as that sort of transgressive, jumpy, groundbreaking price is increasingly swerving up on the small screen.
Perhaps the best stuff the studios can do in the face of this new world is to demonstrate some imagery in how they develop and existing their blockbusters and there are signs that this is already happening. Producer Stephen Woolley, who has worked on films such as The Crying Game and the forthcoming adjustment of On Chesil Beach, quotes Deadpool as a film that has subtly managed to alter the feeling of the superhero movie. Its taking a much more sophisticated attitude of that macrocosm and ridiculing it, while at the same reinforcing it. It was a clever have-your-cake-and-eat-it from the people who formed it.
Meanwhile, Disneys successful live-action reimaginings of their inspired handiworks most notably Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book suggests that its possible to play the sequels and remakes tournament without it feeling like a retread over old-time floor. Most singularly of all, the musical seems to be making a comeback with the success of La La Land, that rare mid-budget movie to have traversed over into blockbuster status, grossing more than $400 m at a plan of $37 m.
Woolley is aware of health risks twirling all over the blockbuster, but feels that mass extinction is still some room away, if it ever returns. The jeopardy you have is that audiences are fickle, and they could suddenly turn off, he says. Something happens for them to say: Actually, we dont such as those movies any more. And theres always this inkling that is likely to happen. But every time it seems to happen on the blockbuster figurehead, another movie comes out to prove you wrong.
Ultimately, though, what might keep the blockbuster safe for the time being is not the films themselves but all the stuff around them. The happen that the studios are building is something akin to a hypermovie or a supermovie, adds Gaydos. Its a whole other thing. Its a toy-delivery plan. A Cars movie will gross $500 m or $600 m but the Cars makes will sell$ 4bn. Eventually the movie is designed to be a whale commerce implement for stock and theme park that render billions and billions.
As Hollywood agonises over its own future, it might be that the best route for the blockbuster to survive is to subsume itself into bigger, most secure revenue streams: toys, plays, product, live attractions. So if you want to keep the blockbuster around for a while longer, you should get your Superman costume on and move yourself a container of that branded cereal.

If you haven’t tuned in to the RNC yet, here are 13 reasons why you should.
If you haven’t tuned in to the Republican National Convention yet, youre not alone.
Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
Maybe youre a Republican who gnashes their teeth every time Donald Trump opens his mouth. Maybe youre a Democrat whos already heard “Jail Shillary Clinton” enough for one decade. Or maybe youre just a person who gets bored by boring speeches.
And yet, you still want to do your civic duty. You want to be able to participate in the watercooler conversation. Or, perhaps, youre a nervous internet writer who dabbles in politics and you want to continue to justify your salary to the publication that employs you.
Fear not! Even if the speeches ramble, the music is suspect, and the balloon drop is anticlimactic, there are many ways to make watching the RNC a fun experience for the whole family:
1. Focus on the fun hats.
When you watch a baseball game, you see baseball caps. When you watch a rodeo, you see cowboy hats. When you watch bearded 27-year-old programmers in “Buffy” T-shirts hitting on college students, you see fedoras.
The hats at the RNC are in another league. A noble league … like The League of Nations.
A league that peaked in 1918.
Cowboy hats?

Check.
Coonskin caps?
Check!
Hats directly from the costume chest for the West Oakport Community Players production of “The Music Man”?
Check and mate.
If youre a fan of delightfully anachronistic haberdashery, the Republican National Convention is the small-screen event of the mid-2010s.
2. Watch campaign operatives desperately try to spin obvious screwups into success stories.
Melania Trump’s apparent cribbing of a passage from a 2008 Michelle Obama speech on the first night of the RNC has already sent Trump’s surrogates into a flurry of questionably credible but extremely entertaining denials.
Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
Some simply pretended it didn’t happen. Some tried to explain it away as a case of the two women simply having the exact same thoughts on the exact same subject. Others suggested that hey! only 7% of the speech was plagiarized, which really isn’t that much. (College students on deadline, take note!)
There’s no feeling quite so warm and cozy as sitting back on your couch, knowing there’s a problem out there in the world … and it’s someone else’s job to deal with it.
3. Cheer on the dancing delegates.
The RNC remains Americas #1 source of elderly people whove still got it, show it, and want you to know it.
Curious what style of arrhythmic jerking was popular in 1962? Looking forward to seeing some semi-coordinated American flag-ography? Want to watch a county commissioner from Ladysmith, Wisconsin, gingerly hip-bumping the state comptroller of Tennessee?
You only get one chance every four years. Seize it!
4. Gawk at the ridiculously over-the-top entrances.
For Donald Trump, last night’s raucous, backlit entrance to “We Are the Champions” was actually pretty restrained.
Scott Baio (Chachi!) was there Monday night.
Ehhhhhhhhhh. Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
So was Antonio Sabato Jr., who totally was in something once.
Oh and hey, remember soap star Kimberlin Brown? No? Well, shes speaking too.
Like Pogs, jelly shoes, and friendship bracelets, you might not have missed them and you might not have even loved them all that much even at the height of their popularity, but they’re back, and sure, why not!
6. Cringe at the massive pandering fails.
In a Monday session with delegates from Pennsylvania, Paul Ryan took a few seconds to wave a Terrible Towel an emblem of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the air…
Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
…which irked some in the city of Cleveland, where the RNC is happening. They were none too pleased to see the Republican leader brandish the banner of their bitter football rival.
In other news, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are apparently different cities. You learn new things when you watch the RNC!
7. Shovel popcorn into your mouth as Trump and his team pick random, hugely entertaining fights with GOP lawmakers.
Fittingly, for a candidate whose highest profile accomplishment is hosting a reality show, Donald Trump is really, really, good at draaaaaaaaaama.
Even before the speeches started, top Trump aide Paul Manafort attacked Ohio Gov. John Kasich America’s Republican uncle as “petulant” for refusing to attend the convention.
Photo by J.D. Pooley/Getty Images.
“Manaforts problem, after all those years on the lam with thugs and autocrats, is that he cant recognize principle and integrity,” Kasich strategist John Weaver fired back in an e-mail to The New York Times, calling out Manafort’s public relations work for the former president of Ukraine.
Rawr! Go get ’em, boys!
8. Daydream about what LeBron James is doing elsewhere in Cleveland while all this is going on.
Photo by Mike Lawrie/Getty Images.
One of the great things about Cleveland hosting the convention is that, if youre not feeling the program, you can just close your eyes and imagine what King James is up to just a few blocks away at any given moment. Maybe he’s grabbing a beer at the Radisson lobby bar across the street or wandering around the perimeter of Quicken Loans Arena trying to catch a Pikachu!
Train your brain to conjure ‘Bron, and you’re sure to realize a truth that hardened political insiders have long known: The mental image of LeBron James doing anything beats watching the 19th lieutenant governor shuffle haltingly around the stage to Kid Rocks “Born Free.”
9. Enjoy the spectacle of news organizations testing out new technology with mixed results.
The Washington Post has a robot!
LOOK OUT: The yet-to-be-named @washingtonpost robot is roaming the halls of the #gopconvention. (Cc @rkellett) pic.twitter.com/KCFFdootWo Ed O
Come for the debut of an amazing, cutting-edge mass communication tool. Stay for the schadenfreude of when it inevitably, hilariously tips slowly forward and plants on its face.
10. Applaud the fact-checkers doing A+ work.
It’s pretty hard to wallow in self pity about having to sit through three prime-time hours of the Trump Family Variety Spectacular when the heroes at FactCheck.org are spending their week watching every minute of both conventions evaluating every ridiculously hyperbolic claim made by every marginal elected official on that stage, presumably with their eyelids taped open.
David Clarke says Americans don
Every single American owes these people a drink. At the very least, we need to all go in for a gift basket.
11. Savor the meme-worthy speech faces.
Like this one:
A delegate stands on stage. The lights are hot. He’s got his suit, tie, and firmest scowl on. He’s projecting a stern air of authority. He’s feeling good.
And then, this happens:
THE RNC GAVEL IS ALREADY FALLING APART pic.twitter.com/6sL4Mp3z8V Timothy Burke (@bubbaprog) July 18, 2016
One prop master’s catastrophe is one potato-chip-eating, couch-slouching American’s perfect television.
12. Rock out to the endless playlist of music you love to hate to love to wonder what even is it?
Between the speeches, the logistical announcements, and the arcane points of order, the playlist on the first day of the 2016 RNC featured a weird collection of B sides “Limelight” by Rush, The Who’s “Eminence Front,” “Stay With Me” by Rod Stewart that undoubtedly delighted your Uncle Craig:
But it pretty much left everyone else scratching their heads. And you know what, scratching your head is immensely soothing and gratifying, so thanks, music team!
13. Appreciate that you are watching democracy happen in real time weirdly exactly the way its supposed to.
Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images.
You may not be thrilled about the election. You may think the ads are tacky. You may wish the participants were different (dear God, you may wish the participants were different).
You can hate everything about the American political process and still be grateful this is how our political transitions go down rather than when the guy in charge dies and his 9-year-old son takes over, or when a bunch of tanks plow over the White House while the president is in Bermuda, or when every federal employee is replaced by an alien impostor except for a single, mild-mannered Nebraska congressman who, luckily, is played by Kurt Russell.
New political administrations in America happen after a bunch of nerdy bureaucrats make a bunch of boring speeches about freedom, justice, and patriotism in support of candidates we dont like very much but who we will dutifully go out and choose between in November.
Its unglamorous. Its stressful. Its frustrating and exhausting. But Im going to tune in. Because it really is the worst.
Except for all the other options.

You may not be thrilled about the election. You may think the ads are tacky. You may wish the participants were different (dear God, you may wish the participants were different).
You can hate everything about the American political process and still be grateful this is how our political transitions go down rather than when the guy in charge dies and his 9-year-old son takes over, or when a bunch of tanks plow over the White House while the president is in Bermuda, or when every federal employee is replaced by an alien impostor except for a single, mild-mannered Nebraska congressman who, luckily, is played by Kurt Russell.
New political administrations in America happen after a bunch of nerdy bureaucrats make a bunch of boring speeches about freedom, justice, and patriotism in support of candidates we dont like very much but who we will dutifully go out and choose between in November.
Its unglamorous. Its stressful. Its frustrating and exhausting. But Im going to tune in. Because it really is the worst.
Except for all the other options.

If you haven’t tuned in to the RNC yet, here are 13 reasons why you should.
If you haven’t tuned in to the Republican National Convention yet, youre not alone.
Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
Maybe youre a Republican who gnashes their teeth every time Donald Trump opens his mouth. Maybe youre a Democrat whos already heard “Jail Shillary Clinton” enough for one decade. Or maybe youre just a person who gets bored by boring speeches.
And yet, you still want to do your civic duty. You want to be able to participate in the watercooler conversation. Or, perhaps, youre a nervous internet writer who dabbles in politics and you want to continue to justify your salary to the publication that employs you.
Fear not! Even if the speeches ramble, the music is suspect, and the balloon drop is anticlimactic, there are many ways to make watching the RNC a fun experience for the whole family:
1. Focus on the fun hats.
When you watch a baseball game, you see baseball caps. When you watch a rodeo, you see cowboy hats. When you watch bearded 27-year-old programmers in “Buffy” T-shirts hitting on college students, you see fedoras.
The hats at the RNC are in another league. A noble league … like The League of Nations.
A league that peaked in 1918.
Cowboy hats?

Check.
Coonskin caps?
Check!
Hats directly from the costume chest for the West Oakport Community Players production of “The Music Man”?
Check and mate.
If youre a fan of delightfully anachronistic haberdashery, the Republican National Convention is the small-screen event of the mid-2010s.
2. Watch campaign operatives desperately try to spin obvious screwups into success stories.
Melania Trump’s apparent cribbing of a passage from a 2008 Michelle Obama speech on the first night of the RNC has already sent Trump’s surrogates into a flurry of questionably credible but extremely entertaining denials.
Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
Some simply pretended it didn’t happen. Some tried to explain it away as a case of the two women simply having the exact same thoughts on the exact same subject. Others suggested that hey! only 7% of the speech was plagiarized, which really isn’t that much. (College students on deadline, take note!)
There’s no feeling quite so warm and cozy as sitting back on your couch, knowing there’s a problem out there in the world … and it’s someone else’s job to deal with it.
3. Cheer on the dancing delegates.
The RNC remains Americas #1 source of elderly people whove still got it, show it, and want you to know it.
Curious what style of arrhythmic jerking was popular in 1962? Looking forward to seeing some semi-coordinated American flag-ography? Want to watch a county commissioner from Ladysmith, Wisconsin, gingerly hip-bumping the state comptroller of Tennessee?
You only get one chance every four years. Seize it!
4. Gawk at the ridiculously over-the-top entrances.
For Donald Trump, last night’s raucous, backlit entrance to “We Are the Champions” was actually pretty restrained.
Scott Baio (Chachi!) was there Monday night.
Ehhhhhhhhhh. Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
So was Antonio Sabato Jr., who totally was in something once.
Oh and hey, remember soap star Kimberlin Brown? No? Well, shes speaking too.
Like Pogs, jelly shoes, and friendship bracelets, you might not have missed them and you might not have even loved them all that much even at the height of their popularity, but they’re back, and sure, why not!
6. Cringe at the massive pandering fails.
In a Monday session with delegates from Pennsylvania, Paul Ryan took a few seconds to wave a Terrible Towel an emblem of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the air…
Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images.
…which irked some in the city of Cleveland, where the RNC is happening. They were none too pleased to see the Republican leader brandish the banner of their bitter football rival.
In other news, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are apparently different cities. You learn new things when you watch the RNC!
7. Shovel popcorn into your mouth as Trump and his team pick random, hugely entertaining fights with GOP lawmakers.
Fittingly, for a candidate whose highest profile accomplishment is hosting a reality show, Donald Trump is really, really, good at draaaaaaaaaama.
Even before the speeches started, top Trump aide Paul Manafort attacked Ohio Gov. John Kasich America’s Republican uncle as “petulant” for refusing to attend the convention.
Photo by J.D. Pooley/Getty Images.
“Manaforts problem, after all those years on the lam with thugs and autocrats, is that he cant recognize principle and integrity,” Kasich strategist John Weaver fired back in an e-mail to The New York Times, calling out Manafort’s public relations work for the former president of Ukraine.
Rawr! Go get ’em, boys!
8. Daydream about what LeBron James is doing elsewhere in Cleveland while all this is going on.
Photo by Mike Lawrie/Getty Images.
One of the great things about Cleveland hosting the convention is that, if youre not feeling the program, you can just close your eyes and imagine what King James is up to just a few blocks away at any given moment. Maybe he’s grabbing a beer at the Radisson lobby bar across the street or wandering around the perimeter of Quicken Loans Arena trying to catch a Pikachu!
Train your brain to conjure ‘Bron, and you’re sure to realize a truth that hardened political insiders have long known: The mental image of LeBron James doing anything beats watching the 19th lieutenant governor shuffle haltingly around the stage to Kid Rocks “Born Free.”
9. Enjoy the spectacle of news organizations testing out new technology with mixed results.
The Washington Post has a robot!
LOOK OUT: The yet-to-be-named @washingtonpost robot is roaming the halls of the #gopconvention. (Cc @rkellett) pic.twitter.com/KCFFdootWo Ed O
Come for the debut of an amazing, cutting-edge mass communication tool. Stay for the schadenfreude of when it inevitably, hilariously tips slowly forward and plants on its face.
10. Applaud the fact-checkers doing A+ work.
It’s pretty hard to wallow in self pity about having to sit through three prime-time hours of the Trump Family Variety Spectacular when the heroes at FactCheck.org are spending their week watching every minute of both conventions evaluating every ridiculously hyperbolic claim made by every marginal elected official on that stage, presumably with their eyelids taped open.
David Clarke says Americans don
Every single American owes these people a drink. At the very least, we need to all go in for a gift basket.
11. Savor the meme-worthy speech faces.
Like this one:
A delegate stands on stage. The lights are hot. He’s got his suit, tie, and firmest scowl on. He’s projecting a stern air of authority. He’s feeling good.
And then, this happens:
THE RNC GAVEL IS ALREADY FALLING APART pic.twitter.com/6sL4Mp3z8V Timothy Burke (@bubbaprog) July 18, 2016
One prop master’s catastrophe is one potato-chip-eating, couch-slouching American’s perfect television.
12. Rock out to the endless playlist of music you love to hate to love to wonder what even is it?
Between the speeches, the logistical announcements, and the arcane points of order, the playlist on the first day of the 2016 RNC featured a weird collection of B sides “Limelight” by Rush, The Who’s “Eminence Front,” “Stay With Me” by Rod Stewart that undoubtedly delighted your Uncle Craig:
But it pretty much left everyone else scratching their heads. And you know what, scratching your head is immensely soothing and gratifying, so thanks, music team!
13. Appreciate that you are watching democracy happen in real time weirdly exactly the way its supposed to.
Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images.
You may not be thrilled about the election. You may think the ads are tacky. You may wish the participants were different (dear God, you may wish the participants were different).
You can hate everything about the American political process and still be grateful this is how our political transitions go down rather than when the guy in charge dies and his 9-year-old son takes over, or when a bunch of tanks plow over the White House while the president is in Bermuda, or when every federal employee is replaced by an alien impostor except for a single, mild-mannered Nebraska congressman who, luckily, is played by Kurt Russell.
New political administrations in America happen after a bunch of nerdy bureaucrats make a bunch of boring speeches about freedom, justice, and patriotism in support of candidates we dont like very much but who we will dutifully go out and choose between in November.
Its unglamorous. Its stressful. Its frustrating and exhausting. But Im going to tune in. Because it really is the worst.
Except for all the other options.
