Perfectly sane ranting. Where did the thousands of people go Donald?

Let’s have this delusional nitwit run the country! What could go wrong?

PS Donald - Only TWO weirdos were outside supporting you today.

When Post Malone said,

"Everyone tells you that you deserve better but no one is willing to give it to you."

I felt that.

Since its april fools im doing the opposite and coming clean to miiblr. this is not a report or anything that actually happens in tomodachi collection. this was entirely fake and a recreation of this panel from the manga junket bank

So uhhhh. ask me anything 👍

sometimes I remember it’s canon that some dude from Boulder was cheating on his wife via a month-long texting affair with Jeff

[fake-destiel-news]

It’s not even that obvious, it’s like a new where’s Wally

[kaeyachi]

Personally, I think it was a spur of the moment kinda thing. Diluc let slip some words he did not completely mean in his fit of rage like "you don't belong here" or "never show your face here again" or something along those lines and Kaeya internalized it to the point he kicked himself out the winery

The staff knows they had a fight and Kaeya left but they don't know the details of it, whether Diluc officially kicked him out or if Kaeya left on his own volition. Diluc doesn't stop them treating Kaeya as they used to but doesn't really encourage them either. So it's more of a don't ask-don't tell typa thing going on

!!! ANON I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS ON MY POST

Diluc must have said something that Kaeya twisted(on purpose or subconsciously). All it would take is for anyone to say the wrong thing once, and Kaeya would take it and run with it (eg. his biological father's parting words to him).

Damn you Kaeya and your wild imagination!! (he just like me fr)

What if Kaeya took Diluc's selling of their original mansion as a sign that Diluc didn't want him to stay there? Thus, the "throw me out" comment that went along with it... and in addition, Diluc's confusion about said comment because that was not what he intended when he sold said mansion.

Also i think that Adelinde and Elzer (if not the senior staff who were already there) must have known of their fight (with or without details) and yet of their own choice choose to treat Kaeya as still another master of the home and call him as such (did Diluc really not talk to them about it? Does he not care for it? Did the staff stand their ground on the matter? Or does he secretly support it and doesn't do any encouraging in front of Kaeya in case Kaeya activates his fight or flight response? We don't know their discussions while we are not around after all hnghh)

So like... the entirety of the senior staff of Dawn Winery are trained to keep their thoughts to themselves maybe?? Same with Crepus, Diluc, and Kaeya (coz wow did Crepus keep his secrets too)

tbh, Kaeya is such an unreliable narrator (due to his lies or misconceptions), while Diluc just doesn't talk at all (not in front of the traveler, to be specific). They're both two sides of the same coin where said coin is there to keep us guessing (coz its technically none of our business as the traveler HAHAHA)

are we gonna have to start making fake IDs in the opposite direction (posing as younger rather than older) to get data protections afforded to minors in some countries?????? because actually the state of the internet not only using all your data as it pleases but actively stealing your creative work is abysmal. ok google i am now eternally a teenager STOP TOUCHING MY DATA !!!

Guys I can deny it no longer I’m actually the worlds biggest Maxwell hater

This almost year has been a social experiment but I can no longer lie to you guys 😔

Wilson is actually my favourite in maxwil and he’s the only reason I’ve been able to write it

Moving forwards I will write more to the way I actually want starting first with saying that Maxwell is 100% evil in my eyes (yeah I haven’t actually read his backstory)
