So like a lot of your content, this ask left your space and was posted on Twitter (I’m mad that the feed refreshed before I decided to save the link😭). The thing I found interesting though is how people in this space view Jikook versus how people outside of this space do. I got what anon meant by them staying in the glass closet and keeping as far away from the media as possible but sooo many people in that tweets comments seemed pissed about it. The majority of the comments were saying how we can’t expect them to live in the closet forever, don’t you know how much better they would feel if they could just be free and open, the media would just make a big deal out of the situation for a couple of weeks and then move on, they would get some hate but jikookers would make sure they knew they were loved and supported, if they really loved each other they would come out and be proud, etc. etc.

Idk I’m just like wow you really did curate a lgbtq+ friendly space on your blog here. Because half the stuff people were saying wasn’t exactly malicious but it did seem to just be outside of reality. Because the thing is, I think the guys are out. To their friends, their family and the people that they love and trust. Maybe not from the start and maybe not even for as long as they’ve been together but I genuinely cant see two people who are so genuine, honest and confident being 100% in the closet. I feel like if these people on twitter could put themselves in the guys shoes instead of just thinking about it from a fans perspective then they would realize that. Because glass closet doesn’t mean stay in the closet but more like just never confirm anything so even if they get side eyes from people, nobody actually has any solid proof against them.

Idk but anyways thanks for existing Storm. I avoid Jikook spaces besides the few I trust on Tumblr at this point so thanks for making me feel so comfy here.

I always feel weird whenever I'm reminded I don't actually exist in a Tumblr bubble and I'm NOT actually speaking into the void here like I expected when I started this blog. I also didn't realize that *many* of my posts ended up on Twitter. That's a strange feeling too. I know one did and I claimed it, gained like 200+ followers, panicked and went private 😂😂 and then mostly kept that account separate from this one. I did share my Tumblr handle on there last year as well once too. So I guess there have been a limited few chances to discover my twitter handle if you are looking 😂

And thank you for the kind words. I really do try to make this a safe space. That's all I really want it to be . Thank you for existing too anon 💜💜💜💜

🙈 Need Mandarin translations/confirmations for the messages the lmk creators left ASAP 🙈

Long story short, we tried to spread the animation studio switch letter Sarah posted. I speedran to Xiaohongshu (LittleRedBook/RedBook/RED); Instagram equal for China cause thought no one else would do it. This was before we found out the rest of the crew would send their regards as well.

Idk Mandarin at all so would appreciate any help. Literally just dumped everything into Google Translate.

Priority is everything in the 1st image. 2nd pic is just explanations I wrote for them in case they don't know, which idk how much they know about Flying Bark besides the fact that they thought their animation was awesome. Sometimes they share the storyboards on Bilibili/Weibo but that's about it.

Put them as images cause I was gonna post on Twitter, but coming here first, which also might be better instead.

The RedBook Post

Might need to go through some verification check, basically sliding things across the screen. No sign in should be required to view, though it could vary between countries.

Short Link: http://xhslink.com/kkPC3I

Link: www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/663ee802000000001e01c1bb

Reasons

If I don't get any sort of translation confirmations, I'm gonna have to update the post anyways. Right now, it's also full of ugly edits cause first time ever posting and I actually ran off to make this like the minute we were asked to do so in mk central discord. Gonna make it look nicer now that I realize it's gained traction. >_>

There's a lot of upset/angry/sad/mad fans on RedBook, Douyin, and Bilibili. Much like how we had the wildfire and death threats on Twitter except I think not as extreme to the point of sending death threats... thankfully. They didn't know about the studio change. Honestly, just trying to give them facts and reminding them they have part of the power to get the show cancelled or not; but also not telling them what to like or not like/stop grieving/etc.

Literally one of the RedBook comments on the S5 trailer LEGO China uploaded contains the picture from my post (cause I added disclaimer that it's not lego official translated). So I definitely would like to have the other translations down if they're just sharing around pictures like that. 😬 And note that they're all sharing the Mandarin ones; not the English even though I did provide them. I don't have Douyin and I dunno if I can upload on Bilibili. Weibo has been covered. Idk if there's other Chinese soc med I'm missing.

Notes for translation

Exact Mandarin/English text used in the ALTs of the pictures and "Keep Reading" section cause I realize ALT can’t copy and paste if needed

Uh please write down exactly what phrase to change, cause I do not understand any of the characters except the show title heh

1000 character limit for post, including tags and characters

Tags used: #lego乐高 #lego #悟空小侠 #乐高中国 #乐高悟空小侠 #乐高悟空小侠5年庆 #第五季 #齐小天 #孫悟空 @LEGO乐高 #乐高 If there's more that's helpful, please let me know lol been riding on these tags. If I can, I'll put English hashtags, but depends on character limit; Chinese is a priority

20 character limit for title, which I've chosen: 悟空小侠电视剧的未来🐒导演和编剧的笔记 (basically "future of LMK, directors & writers' statements/notes")

Crew member names and titles were written in the Mandarin dub credits, shown in 2nd pic. Not changing those in translations.

"Harbinger of Chaos" doesn't exist in the Mandarin version... I think? based on the s4 e7 subtitles we had way long ago. Changed Breen's tweet so it said to "find out more about MK." I guess I could've put "demon monkeys" but left that out in case they actually don't address it in the season. And idk the mandarin phrase they used for that

WildBrain Studios doesn't have a proper mandarin translation according to all the Mandarin dubbed Ninjago episodes so just kept it English

Idk if I forgot something, been having hard time keeping track of stuff oop I'll add more if there is more

Sorta Needed

Please note that I did use a translator (and friends) to write this article. I'm a western fan but I have access to the app. And please spread the word too. I don’t have much contact with Chinese social media.

请注意，我确实使用了翻译来写这篇文章。 [Could swap to saying friends instead of translator.] 我是西方粉丝，但我可以访问应用程序。也请广而告之。 我与中国社交媒体没有太多联系。

Former series directors and writers from Flying Bark Productions, as well as current writers, have all issued statements regarding the handling of the series.

旋风狗制片（Flying Bark Productions）的前系列导演和编剧以及现任编剧都就该系列的处理发表了声明。

Sarah Harper served as series director from S1 -3 before fully becoming a writer for several episodes in S4. Some of her series credits include "The Jade Emperor" and "Rip and Tear."

莎拉·哈珀（Sarah Harper）在第一季到第三季中担任系列导演，之后在第四季的几集中完全成为编剧。她的一些剧集包括《天庭大对决》和《青毛狮之怒》。

Christian Barkel served as animation director for the first three seasons and was promoted to series director in the fourth season.

克里斯蒂安·巴克尔（Christian Barkel）在前三季担任动画导演，第四季晋升为系列导演。

David Breen is currently a writer on the show's fifth season. He served as script supervisor for S1-3 before being promoted as one of the show's writers. Some of the episodes he has written are "The Brotherhood" and “A Lifetime of Mistakes."

大卫·布林 (David Breen) 现任该剧第五季的编剧。 在晋升为该剧的编剧之一之前，他担任第一季到第三季的剧本总监。 他编写的一些剧集有《青毛狮之谜》和《寻找美猴王》。

Deirdre Devlin is also a writer on season five. She was brought on as a writer in the fourth season. Her three episodes are "The Great Tang Man", "Court of the Yellow Robed Demon", and "Pitiful Creatures".

迪尔德丽·戴夫林（Deirdre Devlin）也是第五季的编剧之一。她在第四季中担任编剧。她的三集是《小天遇三藏》 、《神秘的“朋友”》、《受困保护咒》。

Not Needed but would be nice

Flying Bark Productions has withdrawn from the animation production of "Monkie Kid". Since 2020, they have been continuously invited to participate in new projects, such as "Disney's" "Moon Girl and the Demon Dinosaur" and "Avatar Studio"'s upcoming "Avatar" film in 2026.

旋风狗制片已退出《悟空小侠》的动画制作。 自2020年以来，他们不断受邀参与新项目，例如“Disney”的《月亮女孩與惡魔恐龍》以及2026年“Avatar Studio”即将上映的《降世神通》影片。

From now on, WildBrain Studios will animate the series. They were also responsible for the Ninjago TV series, although that was in 3D rather than a 2D TV series like Monkie Kid. The writers and voice actors remain the same, but new people could join the team.

从现在开始，WildBrain Studios 将制作该系列动画。 他们还负责《幻影忍者》电视剧，尽管该剧是 3D 的，而不是像《悟空小侠》那样的 2D 电视连续剧。 编剧和配音演员保持不变，但可能会有新人加入团队。

Some artists work as freelancers for the team. I don't know how WildBrain Studios' 2D department hires their artists. If they were invited back to the show, some of their work might be similar to their work from previous seasons. But that consistency may not hold true under new directors. We'll have to wait until the end of the season to see the TV show's credits.

一些艺术家作为团队的自由职业者。 我不知道WildBrain Studios的2D部门是如何聘请他们的艺术家的。 如果他们再次受邀参与节目，他们的一些作品可能会与前几季的作品相似。 但在新董事的领导下，这种一致性可能不会成立。 我们必须等到本季结束才能看到电视节目的制作人员名单。

Previous seasons used "frame-by-frame" animation, all drawn by hand. Based on the trailer, the new season appears to include the use of "rig animation," which is the use of technology to move characters and objects.

前几季使用“逐帧”动画，全部由手工绘制。根据预告片，新一季似乎包括使用“装备动画”，即使用技术来移动角色和物体。

All of these changes will impact Season 5 and beyond. I don't know how fan support affects entertainment distribution in China, but over here, if a show doesn't get enough views upon release, it may be abandoned by the distributor and have a hard time continuing. We will give as much support as possible in the West, although the success of the Monkie Kid LEGO sets and TV show has always and will always depend on its performance in China.

所有这些变化都将影响第五季及以后的内容。 我不知道粉丝的支持如何影响中国的娱乐发行，但在这里，如果一个节目在发行时没有获得足够的观看次数，它可能会被发行商放弃，很难继续下去。 我们将在西方给予尽可能多的支持，尽管悟空小侠乐高套装和电视节目的成功将始终取决于其在中国的表现。

Change can be difficult, and it's okay if you feel disappointed or upset. While waiting over the past year, we’ve been teased by the writers and voice actors that this story will be emotional and heartbreaking, and we trust the writers who have carried the story of Monkie Kid, so I hope you will consider watching season 5.

整个变化可能会令人震惊，如果您感到失望或不安也没关系。 在过去一年的等待中，我们被编剧和配音演员取笑，说这个故事将是感人且令人心碎的，我们相信那些承载了悟空小���故事的编剧，所以我希望你能考虑观看这一季 5.

[dearweirdme]

Hi i'm the same anon that talked to you about jk not seeming like a good bf.

Thank you for your answer but I think i may not explained my idea well, I didn't mean it like he should try to look a certain way in his relationship with tae bc I understand the closeting, what I say it's that based in some of his actions he in a personal level to me, doesn't look like a good bf and not even as a good friend (for the ones who don't want to believe that they are together) and that's bc he chooses to do things that at large harm tae and I know some of you don't think he 'feeds' jokers , that may not have been the correct word for what I want to say but he must know how the fandom reacts to anything jkook and how they twist it for their fantasies (and yes sometimes they themselves do feed the fantasy but lately not as much as some ppl think)

And I know they know bc tae definitely knows, we all have see him react to jkookery before and I suspect that tae even knows that he is massively hated by these shippers and that might be some of the reasons he doesn't mention jk like before and it's very careful and if tae knows there's no way that jk who very clearly shares a life with him and it's constantly in soc media doesn't know too, they all know and yet he is still does things that will have the same ppl who hate on his partner or friend content and happy.

So tae has to limit himself when it's about him and be hyperaware bc he will be hated and harassed but the others can do whatever they want even when it will result in the same ppl who hate on his bandmate feeling braver and affirmed, why does tae have to be aware of repercussions of such a simple thing like him talking about jk and the others don't?

I even suspect that jk isn't saying anything about tae's release rn even though he is in social media commenting stuff and liking things bc it will attract the negative attention of #those fans to tae when this is such an important moment of his career but in this scenario it means that jk is aware of the hate tae receives and that a lot of it come from these shippers and he still isn't being careful of the repercussions.

I also don't think is casual that the jkookery ramped up during Jm's debut where jjks were targeting jm harshly and during jk's were it was expected as they did that they would retaliate, even jokers were leaving jk... and pjms were instigating the hate towards jk even getting hit tweets talking bad about him of up to 5k likes, even before his debut they were harassing scooter Braun on Instagram, my guess it's that jkook are wanting to show their closeness to their fans to try to attenuate the insane hatred and competition their fans have and that is potentially dangerous for them. I mean jjks really made a mess during jm's debut and pjms were doing hashtags, trying to get blinks on their side and even planning something for jk's ikingayo and jokers were leaving jk and shading him all along. If not for that shirtless live a lot would have left and it happened just before his ikingayo so my opinion is that jkook are protecting themselves but where does this leave tae? For them to protect themselves they choose to make happy and brave the same ppl who harass his bandmate? Knowing they will twist every little thing for their fantasies? Idk I just find a lot of things unfair, and if that's the case I think is very dangerous to allow a group of very sick delusional ppl to fester without any measure to shut down their delusions, they are already rabid and next time that they have to acknowledge Tk's intimacy they will have a meltdown that will harm tae and spike the hate towards him as it usually happens but worse bc they are feeling in heaven rn and when reality hits they will be mad and we know who will be the target, i mean nothing has happened with tk and they won't stop targeting

This turned so long sorry if it's all over the place I hope you understand

Hi again anon!

No, I did understand you the first time. I was trying to convey that we cannot really say anything about what kind of boyfriend/friend Jk is, because we don't see that part of his/their lives. We don't know if Jk makes a bath for Tae every night, or if he brings him breakfast in bed, or how he supports him during hard times (though I think we've seen hints of it, that you might not have picked up on). You are basing your thoughts on Jk as a boyfriend on what you do see, and that is just not representative of their private lives imo. If he can't show his relationship in public, and if we don't see much of their private lives... then how are we able to qualify his boyfriendyness?

You think Jk feeds shippers, I don't. I think he does engage in fanservice, and maybe that is what makes you think he feeds shippers. But, Jk engages in fanservice with all members, even Tae. His close bond with Jimin does make the lines blurry, I agree... but I don't think it is Jk's intention to make Jkkrs hold on to their believes. Think of what the alternative would be. For instance, you probably look at the Jimin live he did and the instance of him asking Jimin to do a live together a week or so ago as feeding shippers. I think Jk just loves Jimin (platonically) and therefore wants to do these things. It's not premeditated, he sees Jimin online... and thinks "there's my friend, I want to react." . He does not think, 'yes, this is a moment Jkkrs will like". He's allowed to freely interact with his friend the way he chooses. Their friendship should not be under the influence of shippers. If he were to consider shippers in everything he does, all spontaneity will be lost.

I think you presume that vminkook haven't talked about these things. Those three men are in a weird position. Neither ship can be denied (assuming Tae and Jk are in fact together). Tae and Jimin get strong hate from the other ship's side, while being close friends. Jk is always in the middle and is being seen as a bad boyfriend by both sides. It's not a nice situation. But, you are forgetting that these men have known each other closely, as best friends, for more than ten years. Jimin has seen Jk and Tae fall in love. He has seen how hard it has been. He has supported them through it. Tae and Jk have seen what this meant for Jimin as well. I am sure they have talked about how to deal with this. I think they have decided to let their friendship come first, which means that Jk and Jimin do not have to hold back on their interactions. Tae knows what fanservice is and he knows that Jimin is not actually a risk to him. Jimin isn't going to steal Jk. Did Tae have trouble dealing with Jikook interactions, yes.. at times he did. We have seen jealousy and moments that made it clear Tae did not like what he saw. I think the problem in those moments was that he was unable to just tell them in the moment "hey, that's my man". And probably some times his tolerance for Jkk interactions was high, and sometimes it was low.

From our side things look very different than they do from members' side. We only see what it's shown. And since the company has favoured Jkk moments over Tkk moments, that is what we see a lot. It feels unbalanced. But for the members, this is probably completely different. They have seen each other every day for hours at a time. They know what the real balance is like. So they don't judge situations the same as we do. I have talked about the Taekook stare from the vminkook live recently. That to me is very telling about how fandom and members differ in judging situations.

It's a tricky situation anon and there's really no easy way out of it for them. I think that's why Jk said recently it's better not to adress these sensitive topics, because it will be mayhem if they ever do. It's not great for any of them, including Jk, because he get's hate himself and he has to stand by and watch his bf and his best friend get hate because of it.

[golbrocklovely]

I’m the one that sent in the ask pointing out sam and that girl had gone to the zoo, because at the time I genuinely did find it funny (still kind of do) that sam and colby were being so MESSY in such a public way.

Now, after realizing it was him and kats first date spot (and I do remember that now)…I’m so mad at him lmao. Like not actually but that’s just such a crappy thing to do. Especially where she’s gonna see it and has been tweeting about being so heartbroken. My heart just breaks for her. LA is a big city, he could’ve gone anywhere else. I used to hope they’d get back together but now I feel like she deserves better lol. I guess just a good reminder that men are trash even if it’s someone you love.

yeah i didn't know that was their first date spot. i knew they went there are some point, but i didn't think that's where he took her.

first off, weird spot to take someone on a first date anyway. and secondly, using that spot, AGAIN, with someone else??? super duper tacky and tasteless. sorry my guy, but there's no changing that.

and i feel bad for kat as well. she has gotten a lot of hate from fans ever since breaking up with sam, and it is completely unwarranted for so many reasons. she got so much flack for stupid boy and bs, but she had every. right. to make those songs.

and god knows when she eventually moves on, she's gonna get hate and get called a slut or some bullshit, while sam's off on his fifth fling or whatever.

and look, there is nothing wrong with either one of them moving on or having flings or doing whatever they want with their lives. that's their choices to make. but there's a difference between "i'm moving on from this relationship now" vs "i'm just gonna pretend you don't exist/pretend we never had a thing in the first place". bc that's what's kinda happening.

and this isn't even the first time sam is doing shit like this either. he literally said in an email for dumbandwise about how "breaking up with my girlfriend allowed me to really find myself and my confidence."

now, i can understand that maybe things became stagnant in their relationship, they both became stunted, and once they separated from one another he was able to build himself up again after feeling low. i get it to some degree. but maybe, crazy concept, don't tell FANS this.

idk, certain things should just stay private. and maybe this was one of those times.

[destinyc1020]

Hi. Destiny! I came with peace 😊 so pls don't be mad at me. I have a little favor to ask. You know, we often say here "c'mon people, stop taking twitter haters/film bros seriously 'cause they are very very loud and toxic minority of the internet". Well, twitter and tumblr Tom stans are NOT the majority of the fandom either (same with Z stans and TZ shippers). Like at all. And those who actively post are an even smaller slice. And those of them who constantly write nasty things? It's like 1% of that slice🤏. So when you and your anons discuss how many of Tom fans did this or that pls🙏 do not exaggerate and be a little bit more specific. Cuz "many of Tom fans did something" and it's pretty much always like 2 blogs and 10 asks here and 4 same noisy accs on twitter (who call themselves his fans but shit on him every week. we all already know their names). And that's it. Looks not so "many" for me😏. The rest of boycotting TCR tweets and making fun of his look tweets or asks (i agree there were plenty of those) were not really from TOM fans but more like from GP, locals and not so friendly Z stans. As always.

That's fair enough Anon. I agree that it's not ALL of Tom's fans who are bashing his choices, or are behaving a certain way. I really shouldn't generalize.

Okay, I'm going to go with some #REALTALK here...so sorry if I offend anyone or step on toes, but I'm always 100% HONEST here on my blog.

***WARNING: Unpopular Opinion Coming Through***

I just find that with Tom's fandom in particular, it just seems like his fans don't trust him for some reason. 🥴 I feel like a lot of his fans infantilize him to a massive degree in fact. He's a 26 year old MAN...he's not some little boy. But I get the overwhelming feeling sometimes that his fans think they know better than he does about what he wants to do, or what he should do. Idk...it's just weird to me. 🥴 Why not just trust him and his decisions? Even if you didn't particularly like a project of his, maybe HE liked it and wanted to work with a particular director/actor or just simply liked the script?? 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm pretty sure the same thing probably goes on in other actor's fandoms as well, but I can only speak to Tom's fandom since I've been part of his fandom heavily for almost 6 years now. I even compare it to the other male fandoms that I've been apart of in the past, and even currently, and to me it just seems like Tom gets way more pressure from his fans/fandom than some other fandoms out here. That's all. While other fandoms seem to just let their faves just "be" and are CHILL about whatever new project or thing they have going on in their life, I find that Tom (and Zendaya's fandom tbh) freak out over the smallest little things. 😔 Take the LV (possibility) for example. So many fans ready to hate on Z possibly switching from Valentino to LV. Like, we don't even know any details yet, but some already are crying, complaining, or getting "anxious". That is just SO much pressure on these two individuals. Can't y'll just let them BE?? 👀 

Sorry for the vent session, but that's just how I personally feel about the fandom. And maybe you're right, maybe it's just a very SELECT small FEW (a minority) who behave this way. Unfortunately, this "minority" is a very vocal one.....

[kookiecrumb]

I feel like you're the only blog that wouldn't take this wrong way tbh, but the fandom is just ridiculously sensitive in the wrong ways.

1) bts cover missing you

straight up became racist as if they don't know the meaning of the song for black people or the message or even understand the meaning of rap. All I saw regardless of blocking people was people saying "how they're gonna bring hate, some stupid ass Instagram account called the shade room or whatever is gonna ruin them, they're gonna disrespect the song and dedicated it to army's" then them just cover it and it not being an issue at all???? They showed so many wrong colors then.

2) people getting worked up over using "spoiler" when talking about namjoons upcoming album. Got off of Twitter bc I kept getting recommended these convos, but people are mad at the fact tweets are saying "namjoon has been spoiling the album in last year" which isn't wrong or true. Full on saying "you're making namjoon look like a fool and not giving him his credit" that sounds like projection, knowing he has given hints of so many things of their work. By why whole threads about it, it's silly, and you're distracted over that....depressing.

3) Jungkook in qutar.

Basically, within the last decade, lots of south Asians had died, around 1,6k and probably more uncounted died from poor work conditions. They were immigrants as well. Some people were aware and didn't like the fact big hit & jungkook were promoting it bc of that. Right now people seem to not realize you can care about both sides without seeming like an insensitive asshole the bread makers of those who have now passed and to seem like a Jungkook anti. Like yes I'm happy jungkook can perform in such a stadium like that, however the lack of awareness of lives taken is sad. There's people being straight up being Islamophobic or just worried about jungkook being in the country knowing what's happening in surrounding or like countries being called "Islamophobic" or just throwing the word around.

4) Crush situation and people turning on hoseok. Straight up took some girls side, a girl who manipulated the situation to being artists down. Was proven in her tweets that she tried to take down multiple group and solo artists for "anti blackness" when they weren't doing anything wrong.

There's being protective and being an ass for no reason. Like the fandom is just so bad in this area,I mean weak as well. It's just blank fake support or care tbh, so many peoples colors have been shown ( both racist & human insensitive & anti ) I can't even say only a certain percentage, it is always all or none. I always appreciate it when they defend us, however, we need to take a few hits to change and better our fandom as it's just depressing at this point.

When actual issues come up, most all turn selfish and turn into hungry consumers and not the "we'll protect you bangtan, we care <3" ex June 14 2022 and the sale drop.

Thoughts? I'll be anon🎵🤟

1. Idk anything about that and can't comment.

2. Namjoon is a smart guy, I agree. He also has a team of other talents working with him to ensure that every "spoiler" is deliberate and received favorably by the fandom.

3. Jungkook is in Qatar to shoot his music video and perform at the world cup. It's completely unrelated.

4. I don't know about that situation either. Koreans can be pretty racist, but I think Hoseok isn't because of the collaboration and inspiration he draws from other diverse artists.

Yeh.

[floripire]

i saw this tweet & now i’m once again mourning the lost potential tvd’s third spin off could have had.

i know logically caroline would’ve never, ever allowed this because she’s a good person and a good headmistress (in my head) but just imagine with me for a second here:

imagine you’re a new student at salvatore’s. a newly triggered werewolf like raf, maybe. or maybe you just discovered that you’re from an ancient lineage going back all the way to iran that grants you fire magic, the ability to heal with your tears, and the ability to resurrect. it’s always been in your blood. it’s what your mother gave you. or maybe you’re a newly turned vampire.

huntress meredith sulez welcomes you and assures you that salvatore is the safest place for a young supernatural creature like you. she fills you in on headmistress forbes-salvatore and a bit of the history.

imagine that when you step foot in the school, the first thing you notice is that there is always some underlying tension between the three factions. that people are more concerned with upholding centuries old tradition than anything else because they don’t want to get ostracized from their respective communities.

imagine that you sit in on all the classes, from histories of the species, to physical education to magic lessons. that is where you meet hope mikaelson, the famed tribrid, and the siphoner twins: josie and lizzie saltzman. you think that there might be something going on between hope and josie. there’s certainly history there.

the curriculum for the witches is something that bonnie bennett has personally created. the witches respect her.

the witches don’t respect the teacher of this class, however.

ms featherwood explicitly tells the witches not to dabble in forbidden magic but when you exit that class, you find that drusilla knockwood does it anyway. you find that wade rivers only pretends to be a bumbling fool but that he’s actually so much smarter, sharper, than anyone gives him credit for. 

you find that, sometimes, werewolves and vampires do get along. because one day you walk past an empty classroom, and the door’s ajar. from where you’re standing, you see jed sitting on a chair, with floribeth on his lap; his head is tilted backwards, giving her access to him. at first you think she’s taking her sweet time sucking a hickey into the column of his throat, but then you realize she’s drinking from him and that he’s enjoying it - which is a huge gamble; you heard from alyssa that she’s not very good at controlling herself or the bloodlust - but they seem to make it work. you hurry down the hallway when you hear the heartfelt declarations of love and trust turn into groans of pleasure.

it’s not the first time you’ve seen vampires feed on their fellow students.

from there you go outside, hoping to catch some air and to cool yourself off. you run into penelope at the old mill, who is scheming. you don’t know how you got out of there before she spotted you, but you did. not knowing what else to do, you slip back inside. you catch sebastian’s eye from across the huge, expansive dining room, and you turn away, because you have no desire to get tangled up with him.

jade, wendy and diego seem to be okay. kind of strange. kind of feral. but okay. which is great because everything everyone does seems to be like a calculated chess move. and you’ve always been terrible at chess. checkers, too.

fortunately, finch tarrayo - also a werewolf - is just as new as you are and is just as confused. you find her texting maya machado-fell, a human.

and if that’s not enough: amidst the tension between the factions, mg and lizzie come together, but there is something missing. someone. and then they up the ante by bringing in the very human ethan machado-fell into the fold because they both fell in love with him, turning most of the factions against them.

welcome to the salvatore school. and good luck. you’re gonna need it.

OH. Oh I just had a thought. I was just looking at Marvel timelines, and … Multiverse of Madness takes place in November 2024 (after Halloween that year), and Werewolf By Night takes place after MoM (according to the recent Marvel Updates tweet), but presumably around Halloween time… That could mean that it’s set a year later in October 2025. Which would mean that it takes place after the events of Moon Knight, which are set in early 2025.

Could that mean… Is that why in the FYC interview, Mohamed said “very soon” and Oscar said “yeah” and then had to backtrack with a shrug… Maybe Marvel is just playing fast and loose with their timelines, and Werewolf is set in 2024. Maybe I’m just being way too literal, and reading too much into things, and I’m completely off the rails…

I’m whispering this very quietly in case Marvel hears me and kills my dreams but…

(If there is a Moon Knight reference in Werewolf By Night … could it possibly be Jake who’s in the Moon Knight suit??)

My brain is now spinning in circles.

Okay but why is the Marvel timeline like this, honestly I'd have to have a goddamn murderboard put together with red string just to keep it all straight??

I might do that, actually. Anyway.

This.. does make sense because then Hawkeye was right before Christmas in 2024, Moon Knight at the beginning of 2025. And the thing is, if there did happen to be a Moon Knight appearance in Werewolf by Night, and we're correct in figuring our timeline here.. And we'd have to be, if they've already confirmed it's post MoM?

I'M GOING INSANE THOUGH HOLD ON. I can't believe I'm doing this rn. Spoilers for the Werewolf by Night rumor under the read more:

I'm literally freaking out about a rumored mention of Moon Knight on the news in a completely different show so if that's really all we get, whatever like it's not even an APPEARANCE. BUT. BUUUUT. I'll accept this because there are IMPLICATIONS. TWO OPTIONS.

This is Jake Lockley. I mean, both options involve him somehow and I'm NOT just saying that because of who I am as a person lskdgjslkgjs. BUT as far as who'd be fronting in that news clip, this very much would almost have to be Jake if we see nothing new between now and then. I don't think he'd have his own suit yet, unless they play around with what his might look like and give him something completely different then what we're all expecting. I don't think they'll do that though, I think they'll be pretty dead set on the black and white armor for post. I don't know what to call it, revelations, maybe? Post meeting? To give him a certain level of independence and distinction between Marc and Steven while wearing the armor.

This is all of them, coconscious, deciding on one person's armor. All three present, doing what they do best; saving people. While this would actually make my heart so full, I'm.. not leaning towards this one at all just because we'd have to get through a LOT of story to get to that point. And I'd be pretty upset if we didn't get to see that journey between the three of them, it's kind of the whole point, you know?

IDK MAN I AM JUST. Squinting at Diab's "very soon" comment that seemed a little too quick and completely out of the blue compared to everything else they've said. And Oscar's suspicious eyebrows every time someone asks. In the meantime, I'm gonna continue to look like this:

"You're so harsh on him!" Her hands sat on the keyboard, staring at the green human that stood on Y/n's computer screen.

She needed to be careful. While this was a heated moment, she couldn't let herself get too loud for multiple reasons. If she got too loud, Dream's stream viewers would be able to tell she was in the next room or they would just receive noise complaints from their neighbors.

"No Y/n! You're too soft on him! He needs to learn that he can't get away with everything. You're setting him up for failure." As the h/c girl listened to her roommate speak, she had to remind herself over and over again; 'This wasn't real.' Dream was mad, not Clay.

This had all been arranged as roleplay. Y/n would be leaving in a few days to go visit some of her family for a reunion, so Wilbur had been the one to think up the brilliant idea of what was playing out now; an argument between Y/n and Dream. The plan was to have Y/n get so upset she didn't log onto the SMP for the next few days, only to come back with a master plan to backstab Dream.

At first, Clay wasn't really on board with the thought of him getting angry at Y/n. They had been together for a little over a year, there wasn't a single moment they had gotten upset with one another. But surprisingly, Y/n had been the one to convince Clay it was a good idea.

The fans knew Dream and Y/n had a close friendship, Dream had always been so protective of her. But when this was going down, they didn't know how to act.

Every time Y/n would glance at her chat, she'd see thousands of comments rising up as new ones appeared. Comment after comment, it looked like the fans were shocked by the way this stream was turning out.

"I'm not setting him up for anything! He's a kid, Dream!" Y/n glanced from the chat,  back at the screen showing her PC game. Standing on her screen was Dream and Tommyinnit, she had accompanied Dream to visit Tommy.

"You're just babying him! 'He's a kid!' Well, he needs to learn to grow up eventually," his voice had been filled with such spite. It felt weird to hear Clay speaking to her like this in such a tone.

For a moment, she stared at the green man before a short scoff escaped her lips. "I can't believe you." With that, Y/n had pressed a few keys, turning her character towards the nether portal a couple of yards away. Before Dream had gotten the chance to speak again, Y/n began to move away.

"Y/n! Come back here!"

She flicked a few buttons, taking a moment to look behind her character to see Dream following. Good, everything was going according to plan. Within the next few minutes, she'd be able to log off and she'd be on vacation for the next few days.

The h/c girl ignored the green man as she stepped through the portal, taking her to Minecraft's version of hell. Almost done, she just needed to find a good spot to stop as she listened to Dream continue to speak.

"You can't keep ignoring me! You know I'm right in this. You know you can't keep defending Tommy. You know Tommy is driving a wedge between us-"

Perfect. Y/n had stopped just on the edge of a bridge, molten lava sat feet below them. If she fell, she'd surely die. "No."

"No?" Dream was a bit surprised to hear Y/n cut him off, but he stayed silent as he was prepared to listen to what she had to say.

"No. No more. I don't wanna hear you blame Tommy for us breaking apart. I want you to listen to me. You've been acting like much more of a dick than usual and I hate it. I despise it. You've changed for the worst because you think you can step on everyone. At this point, everyone fears to tell you the truth-except me. I'll be a hundred percent honest with you, you've been so egotistical, it's really pissed me off. This is your fault, Dream. Not Tommy's. You exiled a child for pulling a prank on a vacation house! Not even George's real house!"

"But-"

"Shut the fuck up. I'm done, but I don't wanna hear you bullshit me. So shut the fuck up."

A moment of silence passed between them as Y/n stared at her screen. Just a few more steps.

And within seconds, Dream had pulled out his netherite sword. With one hit, she was falling back into lava. Y/n glanced at her chat, a look of shock on her face as she read over what a few comments said. A moment of silent tension had passed before Y/n had finally spoken up, removing her from the voice chat she was in.

"Alright guys, I guess that's enough for the day. I'll see you all... later." With that, she had clicked a few buttons, raiding Dream's live-stream as she ended hers.

For the next 20 to 30 minutes, Y/n knew Clay would be busy streaming. So she had decided to take a bit of time to wind down and think to herself.

Get a glass of water.

'Are the fans harassing him in his twitch chat?'

Sit down on the living room couch.

'The SMP fans were always so protective of me.'

Pet Patches.

'Was I too much when I snapped at him?'

It didn't seem like 30 minutes had passed when Clay had walked out of his streaming room, only to find Y/n on the couch with Patches in her lap. "Hey, N/n." "Oh, your stream is already over?" Y/n smiled, pulling herself out of her thoughts as she scoot over, giving Clay room to take a seat right by her.

"Yeah, did you lose track of time or something?"

"I must've. How did the chat react after I 'died'?" She smiled up at her boyfriend as he wrapped an arm over her shoulders, pulling her closer into his embrace.

"Everyone was filled with joy that you died."-Y/n playfully swatted at him. "Okay, okay! I got a few chat messages of people bashing me for it, but it's fine."

"Well, it's a good thing the chat wasn't completely littered with hate. How was it after my raid?"

"Honestly, not that bad as you expect. Like I said, just a few comments. Nothing bad, I just ignored it." Clay placed a hand on Patches's head, gently scratching her, followed by the animal beginning to purr.

"Good to hear, anyways... I'm not ready to pack. Do you think we can procrastinate?" The h/c girl let out a huff leaning against her boyfriend. "How?"

"I was thinking a bit of movie binging, cuddling, and ordering dinner?" A cheeky smile spread on her face as she spoke.

"It's like you read my mind."

The couple had made it through three movies, by now it was later at night. The sun had set and they had already door dashed some food. By now they were in the middle of watching 'The Empire Strikes Back.'

'I love you.' 'I know.'

The iconic moment between Hans and Leia had been interrupted by the sound of Clay's phone buzzing. "Why is George calling?"

"What?" Y/n was a bit curious herself. Considering the timezones, George should be asleep right now. Pausing the TV, she turned her attention to her boyfriend's phone.

"Hey Clay."

"What's up, George? Isn't it like early in the morning for you?" Clay raised a brow, moving his phone so Y/n would be able to see George as well.

"Yeah, I had to stay up to fix a YouTube video I need to get out today. I was about to go to bed and I checked Twitter-"

"Oh no." Clay made a short joke, only to be cut off by his friend.

"I don't know if it's trending for you in America, but you might as well look."

"What's going on?" He swiped up, taking him to his home screen so he could click on the little blue bird app. Y/n had grabbed her phone from the coffee table, opening up the app as well. "#Cancel Dream... #Y/n... #Dream SMP"

"Is... is Clay getting canceled for killing me in Minecraft?" Y/n scrolled through the tweets involving the hashtag 'Y/n.' She could see plenty of people defending her, but making it much bigger of a problem than it actually was.

"Oh, hey Y/n. But yeah, he is." George chuckled awkwardly, scrolling through his Twitter app as well.

"This is so fucking stupid."

"It really is. So we might as well get this cleared up with the fans as soon as possible. Do you want me to tweet something, or do you want to?" Y/n looked up at her boyfriend, it looked like he was thinking.

"Yeah, I'll tweet it. Don't worry about this, Y/n."

"Alright, whatever you say," she replied, pulling a blanket over her as she waited for Clay to finish typing his response.

"Here's what I'm gonna say: 'I can't believe you guys actually think me and @(y/n) are in an actual fight in real life. We have been good friends since forever, the fight was only roleplay. I love that you guys are so protective of Y/n, but no one's actually upset.' How's that sound?"

"I think that's good," George hummed softly.

"Yeah, I doubt you'll stay 'canceled' once you've explained to them it was all part of the SMP lore." The h/c girl smiled up at her boyfriend with a small nod.

"Alright, I'm gonna post it. George, I think you should go to bed because you're half asleep already."

Y/n turned, looking at her boyfriend's iPhone. "Go to sleep, Gogy!"

"Alright, alright... I'll talk to you guys later." The call had ended with Clay and Y/n saying goodbye to their friend while George simply yawned to them as a response.

As soon as the call was over, Clay looked at the response to his tweet. It didn't seem to be going too well. There had been a few fans who understood what was going on and responded with a paragraph as an apology for the misunderstanding. But most replies had been telling Clay he was bullshitting the fans or that he wasn't being honest.

"I'm sorry, Clay," his girlfriend had huffed as she read through the responses to his tweet.

"Honestly I'm just a bit pissed off. Literally, any time someone tries to 'cancel' me, it's over something stupid. I'm not a bad guy, it just feels like some people just don't want to see me succeed." Clay had excused himself to grab a glass of water from the kitchen.

It hurt Y/n to hear how upset her boyfriend was. He never got too upset over things, but seemed to take a small toll on him. "Hold on. Let me say something." The h/c girl couldn't be asked to post multiple tweets of her response to hate sent towards Clay over the internet. So what was better than a short video that could be posted to the blue bird app?

"Um, hey guys. I'd just like to make this quick. Stop sending hate towards Dream. The fight was roleplay and nothing more. I'm gonna be busy for the next couple of days so Wilbur thought of a good idea to help build SMP lore with me and Dream and we both agreed to the argument. Now stop sending the green man hate, or I'll commit war crimes or something-"

Y/n had been interrupted by the sound of Clay letting out a small giggle. "What? What did I say?"

"Nothing, just keep going with your video."

"Whatever, I'm cool. No matter what Dream says. Anyways, I'll speak to you all later." Y/n had hit the red button again, ending her video. Within seconds, the video had been uploaded to her Twitter account.

Placing her phone back down on the table, Y/n approached her boyfriend, wrapping her arms around his torso. "I'm really sorry about the hate, Clay. I love you."

"Don't apologize for something you can't control. I love you more." The brunette held his partner close, accepting her hug. Y/n always loved his hugs, she always felt so safe in his embrace.

The rest of the night had been spent with more cuddling and more Star Wars movies. Hours had passed before Y/n had even thought about the Twitter situation again. But for some reason, she had decided to look at the app again tonight.

It was 2 in the morning by now, Clay was half asleep. His head laid in the h/c girl's lap as she brushed a hand through his hair, her free hand opening up her Twitter app once again.

It had been a bit of a surprise to see a couple of trending hashtags had changed so quickly. What was trending now was #Dream, #Y/n,#(ship name), and #Dream's Laugh. This had to be about Y/n's short clip she posted. And by the looks of it, people had stopped acting so harsh towards Clay. But instead, they had decided to focus on the fact Dream and Y/n were hanging out together. Not to mention the fact Dream and let out a stupid little giggle because of Y/n. People had been apologizing to him through Twitter for being so hard on him.

"Babe."

"Hm?" Clay mumbled, not bothering to open his eyes.

"Pretty much everyone is apologizing to you over Twitter for being hardasses."

"Hm, that's good to hear."

"You're really tired, huh?" Y/n paused her scrolling to look down at her boyfriend.

"Yeah," He continued to mumble, followed by a short yawn.

"Alright, time for bed, babe." Y/n smiled to herself, beginning to carefully move away from Clay. "I can pack tomorrow and we can laugh over the stupid bird app tomorrow after you've gotten a good amount of sleep."

"I still can't believe Twitter tried canceling me over roleplay."

"I can't believe you got uncancelled by shippers."

I don't mean to keep bringing her up and I'm so sorry for doing so, but one last thought on that video if you don't mind: a lot of her supporters keep saying "she didn't pick a side!!" Which is true. She thoroughly, happily, and smugly played the "both sides" argument and said that she's neither. But. BUT! The amount of tweets I've seen of people saying "proshitters mad lol uwu" "she pissed off the pedos, we stan!" "idk who she is, but if she makes incest shippers mad I like her" or some other variant of this Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend bs should be a fucking warning sign that her argument wasn't the hallmark of intelligentsia she thinks it is. Sure, she's neither pro or anti. But being anti adjacent with a group of people who use racism, homophobia, and misogyny as a flex on "icky content creators" is a horrible fucking look for her.

Yeah, like even if you personally don't believe that Sarah herself is an anti, it's pretty fucking obvious that her work ultimately more help than critic antis as a whole by downplaying their impact and treating the other side as weirdos overreacting to nothing. Pro tip: if any work claims to be critical of both sides of any issue but one of them feel vindicated by it while feeling like they don’t need to change anything at all, that is a bad work whose bias is clearly showing. Super mega tip: “both sides” in general is a bad position to take when one side is “hey, we want to create art” and the other is “how about if I email your fanfic to your boss to try to get you fired instead”/”I will describe all the ways in which I would kill you if I could”. Like, you can’t sit there and talk to me about the “nuance” of people who do that. There is no nuance. People who do that are wrong and dangerous. How is that not clicking. To add into it, I have seen screenshot of the video of Sarah not even bothering to censor pro shipper's usernames but doing so for antis so... that alone right there is already a terrible red flag about what her actual intent was. It wasn't anything about informing anyone about this fandom thing happening. It wasn't not even for entertainment. It was just airing her grievances with a group of people that told her she was wrong.

The Straw Hats reacting to you being a mermaid with a devil fruit power

A/n: I'm doing the straw hats since you didn't say which characters exactly and Fluffy is supposed to be in place of Luffy (and sorry if this is written weird)

Warnings: fluffy shit and Luffy being Luffy, Idk if there will be anything else or not

——

Monkey D. Fluffy

The effect this kid has on me IS HARD

GOd, he'd been so FUCKING EXCITED man

He's Luffy l-

He just wants to know how it effects you and shit

It also probably finds how you adapted to it really cool

Mf'er would probably ask you to join the crew/ or you end just traveling with them for a while

Luffy straight up would be excited just of you being a mermaid and how the fuck you get around without the water thing

Unless the devil fruit allows you to do stuff to get you underwater or whatever?

He generally be just Luffy at you and be cautious as ever

Zoro

Sword daddy really doesn't have any reaction but "hmm" to me

He be interested not gonna lie

He's sword daddy after all

Idk I feel like this bastard would just straight up watch Ussop, Luffy, and Chopper just be amazed but you

And be like lowkey "what the fuck? It's mermaid who can't be in water?" or something

imagine the soft smile he would have seeing Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp surrounding you and just be amazed

aw, I'm not FUCKING okay

I honestly don't know what else he'd do? He seems like the type to be a little impressed by the power if it something cool?

Like he would have that almost impressed face the moment he hears and all

Nami

I love this girl so much and I haven't written stuff for her in so long

I feel like she would like kinda in to it?

She would also get mad at the dumbass trio for bothering you

Honestly, I feel like y'all would get along great

And she would also be impressed by the devil fruit power if it was strong and would feel bad that you can no longer go in water

Nami has the vibe of someone who every could get a long with tbh (Probably because she was a thief at one point) but I feel like y'all would have entire conversation over your situation and shit

In my mind, Nami is some material tho

Like she cares OKAY SHE CARES - homegirl would care

She just seems chill with it tbh

Usopp

Idk why but my favorite Usopp is the newest animation style Usopp? He just looks very good animated in it?

So, we have the dumbass trio-

That's it

Those three who just get amazed by everything

I feel like Luffy and him would keep trying to push each other out the way while chopper's in the middle

I feel like all them would just ask a shit ton of questions

Homeboy would just be impressed

He's part of the dumbass trio

Honestly, The dumbass trio is all I have

Sanji

Older sanji/new animations sanji hits fucking different

Okay, first of all he'd be excited if you are gal (honestly, I like the idea of sanji going both ways tho he just horny-)

Next, he gives me the same vibes everyone else but the dumbass trio would have - he'd be 'wait, you're a mermaid but can't swim?'

Why am I soft? Like I just feel like him and Nami would look at each other if you looked down while saying why you can't swim

JUST IMAGINE ABDJSNS

god I'm in pain - Everyone seems like the type to not care and think 'oh' but sanji just ugh I love him so much sometimes

He also seems like the type to get mad at the dumbass trio too

Like they're idiots but you're clearly trying to say something serious

Inclusion - He makes me softtt

Chopper

I know, he's part of the dumbass trio but he knows how you feel

He's basically a human reindeer with a blue nose

Chopper would be amazed by the devil fruit power and all if you're like a shark mermaid or something but he feels yall

He understands how it feels you know

Oh god, I just imagine you getting attracted to him some way

Who doesn't love Chopper (ngl I have keyring pop figure of him)

Okay, so chopper doesn't have much for me other than the fact his amazement is kinda different than the other two

His is more because he's chopper a humanoid reindeer with a blue nose and is a docTOR OF A FUCKING PIRATE CREW (wasn't Law surprised to hear that he was the doctor of the straw hats that one time)

Honestly, that's all I have for Chopper caused we all know how he would react tbh

Robin

I have a mentioned she's basically the reason I'm gay

Honestly, Robin would probably have a reaction in between Zoro's and Nami's

She would be like 'oh' but y'all would get to talk about it

I actually feel like she would be surprised for some reason BUT LIKE NOT A LOT

She would find it kinda cool y'know (istg im from the edge of the bible belt I'm sorry)

ROBIN IS BEST GIRL TELL ME IF IM WRONG

Baby would be so soft tho (like she isn't)

I honestly don't know how she would react

It would probably be inbetween Zoro and Nami's

Franky

This fucker is a fucking cyborg

He would totally act the same

But I have to get to nine bullets

If like he would get a little excited if it's a really cool power but feel back that you can't go back into water

tbh young Franky in the gif tho

I'm not sure how he and Brooks would act like they would be somewhat super chill about it

Three straw hats have devil fruits power too, he's a cyborg, and Brooke a skeleton from a devil fruit power all them are used to this time of stuff

But you my friend is also a mermaid and they would be little shocked because of the whole water thing

Honestly, he would be chill about it tbh and thats all

Brook

Two things

He's skeleton

And he would ask to see you're panties even though you're a fucking mermaid

Also he would feel a little bad

He's Brook

He's a soft skeleton with a panty addiction or some shit

Honestly thats the tweet

Thats all Brooke has

P.s. I love him

[horce-divorce]

I am so fucking tired

A mutual on twitter was trying to talk about how nbs can't be comfy in our bodies without some binary trans person coming for us. and how we are just trying to fucking vibe and live our lives in the bodies we have

and another trans person came in and was basically saying 'if I don't get bottom surgery I'm going to kms and you're telling me to just try hard and my dysphoria will go away? that's terfy you're hurting me'

and me and several other ppl including OP were like ??? No?? Nowhere in the tweet did it say 'you should X,' it was PERSONAL. And NOWHERE did it say that OP didn't have dysphoria (they do!!! It's not fucking gone just for trying!). We kept pointing out A LOT of nb folks will ALSO probably die if we don't get to transition IN SPITE OF TRYING to love ourselves. and that's WHY we are trying to be positive about OUR OWN PERSONAL BODIES WHICH WE WILL HAVE FOR LIFE. Some of us want very much to live even if we can't transition! I may not have the WILL to live if I don't transition, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be trying! It's a very real possibility I may not get to transition and resigning myself to fucking suicide is not a valid option!!!!!

the tweet was literally saying 'I hate it when binary trans people get weird about nb people being comfortable in our bodies.' and this person WAS AFFRONTED bc the concept that an nb person CAN LIVE with dysphoria somehow means that she, a person the tweet is not about, should try and will her dysphoria away and she shouldn't need medical transition. ???????? COPING WITH DYSPHORIA DOESNT MEAN DYSPHORIA DOESNT EXIST. You can and should find other ways of coping. Transition IS an ultimatum for a lot of us but that doesn't mean you should fucking encourage that. That isn't what makes you trans.

this was a personal account of personal experiences that happen to tons of nb people. we were talking about how nb folks can't have a discussion amongst ourselves w/o someone coming in and screaming that we're being trans wrong or making the community look bad to cishets, and lo and fucking behold.

other people being ok in their bodies and loving themsleves for 5 minutes should not be triggering to you. like I'm sorry other people give you dysphoria but that's a very personal fucking problem. derailing a conversation that doesn't apply to you isn't going to make cishets take us more seriously either. It's not gonna increase your access to transition. It's not gonna further the wider discussion of trans rights. It is JUST fighting other trans people bc they aren't acting how you think they should. which is the actual cishet/terf thing to do here. there is no right or wrong way to experience being trans, dysphoria, transitioning, or anything else about being a living being.

i s2g this person sounded like "if you wouldn't immediately kys on being denied medical transition then cis people will think I don't need it." Like, "if you don't hate yourself to the point of it killing you you aren't really trans." Like, "I'm mad because YOU aren't displaying enough self hatred and dysphoria." And nothing we said to her changed it. She was just pissed at nbs being nb on main. I don't think she was TRYING to imply this stuff, but her carelessness with her words was astounding, esp considering that was, ostensibly, her issue with op. that the wording didn't clarify "trying to be comfy in my body doesn't mean I don't have dysphoria or that other ppl don't have it or that they don't need to-" wtf make your own thread

Idk I think trying to make sure other ppl are as miserable as you are isn't good for trans rights either. don't harass other trans ppl because we are transitioning differently from you????? and if you are that triggered by other people's bodies, that is a very personal problem and you need to work thru that yourself or with the help of a trusted friend or advisor and not by yelling at those trans people.

[valeriemperez]

After Stephen Amell posted that video of the cast chairs for the crossover and Candice didn't have one, everyone's assumed she's only going to be in The Flash episode. But, is it possible she could be in two out of the three episodes? Maybe one is more action than character driven so Iris wasn't there? I'm trying to stay positive but I'm skeptical of how Iris will be treated in this crossover.

Yes, it’s definitely possible she could be in two of the three. Hell, it’s even possible (albeit unlikely) she could be in all three. One photo of one set of chairs does not an entire episode make. 

I’m in your boat. I am staying positive by not really thinking about the crossover, but I don’t expect Iris to ever get treated better in a crossover than she did last year. And we all know how well we thought she was treated then lmao.

I’m actually hoping we can see Don like we do Nora. I think him being a result of Nora going back in time is likely as well, but I hope it doesn’t cause us to miss out the opportunity of seeing him.

Even if he’s a result of time travel, I think we will see him at a future date. The only question is whether we will see Bart before we see him or not.

You don’t think they’re gonna have Barry and Oliver be together romantically in the crossover right? Because Stephens tweet about him and Barry looking at each other lovingly and knowing the crossover is about different earths im worried they might do that for fan service I realllllly don’t wanna see that

That thought never even crossed my mind until you sent this ask. Now that it has crossed my mind, I still think it’s just a joke about his on and offscreen friendship with Grant. If it happens, it won’t bother me, but I don’t expect it to.

When Nora showed Barry the newspaper that said he was still missing after 25 years. Was that a nod to how long Barry was considering dead in the comics and Wally had to be the Flash?

I think so! That’s certainly how I took it.

weren’t there rumours cisco was going to have a new girlfriend this year? I remember her being described as a fiery latina woman but I can’t remember. I just hope he gets a love interest that sticks this season. i’ll be sad if he doesn’t get a love interest this season

It was from the supposed reddit spoilers, which have been about 60% wrong so far. She was gonna be named Valerie and be Joe’s next cop partner, but that doesn’t seem to be a thing. I do hope that Cisco gets a permanent love interest soon, though, if it can’t be Cynthia.

“the time vault is a place of pain” - except in s1 when barry found out iris marries him in the future. lol.

And that’s what got him through the rest of the pain lol!

Idk what that anon is talking about. I know of several blogs, twitter pages, and IG pages dedicated to hating Candice, and claiming Hayes and LA are a cover for Grant and Danielle’s “real relationship”. They exist.

I almost never know what people are talking about when it comes to accusing fans of IRL shipping stuff. I try to ignore that side of things on a public scale, if that makes sense. 

Gr*nielle shippers didn’t have blogs dedicated to trashing GG’s and DP’s relationships? Lies. The LA defenders always come up with this excuse…until GG interacts with CP again and prove them wrong. And if GG is bothered by the shippers maybe he should say something? He wrote an essay for the body shaming but can’t say anything about fandom targeting the ‘fiancé he wants to protect sooo much’? Anons are projecting here. That’s it. THEY are the ones mad at GG/CP shippers.

Yeah, almost all of our fandom opinions about actors’ private lives are us projecting, unless the actors have explicitly explained themselves somewhere.

Irony makes me sick.

I couldn't even go, "Wow, some dude just hit me up on instagram out of nowhere to ask me out",

without thinking of Patrick.

(Now I see how weird it was to do that without knowing him.... but eh, went okay.)

And the classic tweet of, "All I do is exist and girls give me their phone number. I dont deserve this profile picture", and changed his picture from a clown version of Shingi, to like.... a happy Shingi from Evangelion, I think.

Or whatever his name is. Shinji?

It doesnt get any easier, does it?

Its not like we arent friends, but like......

I dunno.

He needs space? To be not emotional about the loss of the relationship; and i suppose thats what is needed.

And until then, just gonna let my irritation simmer into my artwork.

......sigh.

Painting concept art for ideas and have two dates for the week.

I still dont know what he meant by "im not sure about the idea of seeing other people", since i didnt get him to elaborate before the conversation changed into a previous memory moment....

And shoutout to that memory of pre-boyfriend Patrick, shortly after saying he wasnt into me, that we should wingman for eachother... a little extra salt in the wound to not only have been rejected, but hearing that they want me to get them a girlfriend definitely was wack.

......but eh.

Is that his way of saying "i doubt youd handle me having a new girlfriend well?"

Probably accurate, and id simply leave if i felt too extremely uncomfortable about it.

Or is that a way of saying "i dont want to hear about whoever you date and plow next?"

Fair, but looking at the tumblr i use specifically to vent on isnt a good way to not hear about the people i bang. Hell, its why you got blocked everywhere man.... but eh, i wont mention my romantic relationships to his face if he doesnt want to have that specific image in mind.

And well....

Yeah.

Still annoyed at him doing the "I'm holding your hand, got my arm around you, and im resting my face against your forehead..... while also laughing and saying id definitely not want to date you."

Thaaaaaaaaanks, Patrick! Gee, it almost makes me not regret the Krispy Kreme Penis joke I made nights before.....

I was bummed we didn't get to try that, all honestly.

I feel like there's still slivers of emotion left over.

Understandably so. I did really like the guy.

Sucks if just two nights after I'm thinking, "Yeah, I'm really glad I'm with this guy", everything goes to shit.

And now the tears aaaaare flowing.

Fuck.

No point in "what ifs". I'll either get mad at him, or myself, for how I responded to the shit when things all had happened.

And I can't change the past.

....

I see it as a matter of....

I don't know if I could be with him now.

It'd have to be some sort of low key shit, or just straight up just banging, or whatever we were before I eventually got him interested in going on dates with me again.

(Buuuut sex leads to emotions, emotions lead to problems, and problems lead to blocking the person you liked a lot on every social media platform available.)

And.... Idk, probably not into the idea of just sex.

(That kinda was a factor to us dating too? He was like "i dont think ill have enough time during the week to see you for anything more than fucking", and me simply going "i dont wish to continue then", lead to.... oh look, time was made.... and wasnt turned into a sex object. Whoop whoop, how nice.)

Sex without anything else (like netflix, cuddling, or whatnot) just feels so..... bland.

And pointless.

I could be more satisfied yet just as easily disappointed emotionally with my left hand if I wanted to have a lackluster friends with benefits level situation.

And.....

Yeah.

Anyway, its 11:04pm, and I just called the dude who was talking to me an idiot.

Since he was.

And I just don't care anymore. What's even the point?

Relationships with others always end disappointing.

...

Buuuut the starts are always disappointing, as well, so I should be smart, but not too sus about those who come near me.

(I.e., when my ex Blonde Patrick met me and I thought he was kind of an airhead who had only cared about himself, and surprisingly no, he was a very intelligent and openly cocky, yet humble, young man.)

And even before Brunette Patrick and I met, I did openly question his..... "there"-ness.

I don't wanna go too deep into it, but they're mentally stable, and would of course notice if you waved a hand directly in front of their face. I guess I just thought, "This dude seems kinda out of it, or that he prefers to hear himself speak and gets caught up in speaking that he doesnt even realize that the other person is still there...."

But we worked it out, and things went well.

(I struggled finding a way to describe it for months, but it turns out that it wasnt "no one wants to hear him speaks", its "hes speaking a lot, but, forgets to let others chime in and allow a conversation to feel mutually involved.")

I felt so bad when he stopped talking or said bad things about himself. I know I'm a c-word for the shit I say about him on here, but even so, i would absolutely still slap the fuck out of someone who made him feel bad about himself in an instant.

It went from "im not sure this guy is ready for a relationship but he seems nice", to "yeah this dude is absolutely amazing, anyone would be lucky to have him, cant stop smiling around this dude."

Sucks ass that its over now.

Its back to square one in terms of dating, or even meeting others. Which means more texts from half asleep horny fuckboys with no sense of self or actual personality past what they've heard in Drake songs, and more of me trying to resist tweeting, "For fucks sake, men are pathetic".

.....yeah.

Alright, I better go to bed, or record something.

Life is too short to only write about lame stuff.

Peace out.

[curls-and-crosses]

Well it was kinda like when I had that request for Erik and you wrote "The Let Out" but it was with mbj @sonofnjobu 😂

I was with him and we had finally went out on a public date cuz APPARENTLY he got over his fatphobia. 🙄 This nigga lied. He didn't get over it cuz the whole time as we would walk places, the paparazzi made comments. Some were like "You got a ultra thick one this time, man? How's the sex?" and "Why you datin' this big bitch?" and so on.

I was getting mad and whispered to him "Aren't you going to say something? Defend me." He didn't do anything but put an arm around my waist and whispered back "It's not worth my time to argue wit 'em."

That was the final straw. I pushed him away, said "You know what? Fuck you Michael." and left. He kept telling me to come back as the paparazzi was loudly clowning on him. I didn't care at that point.

I called an Uber and went home, of course. He tried to call, text. I didn't pick up or reply. I was pissed. Then idk, about 15 minutes later, I got a notification on Twitter saying I had a mention on Twitter from an MBJ tweet.

I read it and he said "Look, I'm dating a bigger woman. So what? She treats me with love and respect. Like some regular, nerdy guy. Not a celebrity with fame and money. Fuck y'all if y'all got negative shit to say. I'm in love with you @_______. I'm so sorry for earlier. This was long overdue."

I started crying and liked the tweet. Maybe 30 seconds later he called me and I picked up the phone.

That where it ended @texasbama and @sonofnjobu 😭😭😭😭😭

YALL I had a dream about mbj and I’m upset that it probably won’t EVER happen 😭😭
