#《 she'd just be chillin for the most part 》

[doofnoof]

@7-11thuniverse my tags Explain why I am. Confused to say the least, answering Prev

Tldr; most of the critters I know are less "please don't bother us we wanna be left alone" and more "SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS" like?? I have been consistently dealing with the Katsuki Bakugo of the Natural World. Not even kidding, the Chasing experiences where a critter has fallen on my face/out of my hair/out of an object are all real, and most choose to die fighting, with honor or smth. One particular spider had to have a work boot thrown at it twice because it kept getting back up and rearing it's front legs at my mom before running forwards a bit. Yes I did pee a little. No I don't know what his entire problem was.

YOU DONT HAVE DRYERS IN AUSTRALIA???

KANDI WHY

HOW DO YOU WASH YOUR CLOTHES??

DO YOU JUST

WEAR SOGGY CLOTHES AFTER A WASH??

HAVE YOU NEVER EXPERIENCED WARM CLOTHE FEELING AFTER A DRYER CYCLE ENDS??

WELL WE *WASH* OUR CLOTHES IN A WASHING MACHINE BELEIVE IT OR NOT BUT FOR HOW WE *DRY* OUR CLOTHES WE JUST USE A CLOTHES LINE CUZ BELEIVE IT OR NOT ITS RELATIVELY WARM ALL YEAR ROUND IN AUSTRALIA SO WHY WASTE MONEY AND ELECTRICITY WITH A DRYER WHEN ITS WAY SMARTER TO JUST USE A LINE?????

(i have one of these washing lines but its like over 20 years old and super broken so it cant close but thats okay)

DCAS is honestly starting to bore me.

Season 3 in general is meh. And you can tell the quality story-wise lowered when they started releasing episodes weekly instead of every 2 weeks.

And there will be spoilers ahead.

First off, getting it out of the way, but the TikTok dance challenge I didn't have much of an issue with. UNTIL I realized if Fiore had won the return chance, she'd be doing the WAP dance. SHE'S 9 YEARS OLD SHE'S BARELY JUST STARTED PUBERTY, SHE'S EXTREMLY YOUNG!!! There's a line between "Child who cusses a lot" and "Child doing a challenge with the Wet Ass Pussy dance."

Then Tom and Jake. They should've just finally fully parted ways and realize they're not compatible. Like I've said, they have more chemistry as exes than as lovers. Tom already proved his word is worth shit, and his promise before leaving didn't feel concrete enough. He could just ghost Jake again. He doesn't know, we don't know.

The drama with Krystal, Derek, and Trevor. I get there have been Trevek shippers since the beginning. But sometimes what makes a ship fun is the "What could've been" and not the "what is." Derek and Krystal seem happy together, and both take joy in the harsh challenges, they feel like they could actually be something.

Meanwhile Trevor literally acts like a pouty toddler. The plot of "Fired employee wanting to get the show shut down" could've worked, if it weren't for the guy acting like his playground crush just rejected his marriage goldfish cracker. It's not even that, Derek actually tries to communicate with Trevor, but Trevor just blows him off! Again, like a toddler, but when they plug their ears and go "LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING" Trevor's the one who didn't say shit until it was too late, that's his fault. And because of it, he's trying to get the show the guy he likes cancelled as if it wouldn't piss Derek off? Can we get a Yandere Trevor AU fanfic, because that feels fitting right about now.

The plot of Emily getting Trevor to work with her to get the show shut down would work if it didn't get 2 minutes of screen time each episode, if it were handled more like the Jensen situation in the first season, and if Trevor wasn't such a baby. Emily though is smart to be using the guy with the brain and emotional power of a child, I'll give her that.

And then there's the current final 4.

Connor and Riya are both rich. They don't really need the money. Not to mention that Riya is getting extremely annoying.

Unless Jake is in a similar situation as me, being an adult who never learned how to drive and can't really get a job, he doesn't really need the money. He's chillin with Miriam, who was a winner of the first season. Maybe he needs the money to help take care of Mirium? But storywise, it doesn't really make sense to let the character living with a previous winner win this time.

Ally is such an unlikeable character now. Though she is the one gonna need the money the most because she's gonna need to flee the country and get a new identity-

Before them, Grett was the most worthy of winning.

The beef with Ally and Jake is like watching two siblings who genuinely hate each other but don't do much outside of slap fights and insults. (Ally leaving Jake for dead by bear because of that?) It's pointless, boring, and this time around most of it is Ally's doing. It was annoying when Jake did it, yet it's supposed to be great when Ally does it?

I'm predicting either Jake is going to win, or Connor but he's going to split the money with someone or a few other contestants. In which in the Connor case, Jake's still gonna get money.

I love the show, but it's really starting to bore me this season.

I thought I'd have it figured out by now

Shit would be simple, problems would be in the past by now

Me and the homies would be sittin' on millions

Reminiscin' on times when we were so broke and livin' in Oakland just chillin'

I thought I'd have it in the bag by now

I thought that we'd be kickin' back by now

I know that life is a bitch

I know that life is a bitch, I thought we'd put her in a cab by now

But I'm stressin', I can't relax

Swallowin' my pride and I'm hidin' what's makin' me mad

Everybody sayin' I need rehab

'Cause I'm speedin' with a blindfold on

It won't be long until they watchin' me crash

And they don't wanna see that

They don't want me to OD and have to talk to my mother

Tell her they coulda done more to help me

And she'd just be cryin'

Sayin' that she'd do anything to have me back

All the nights I'm losin' sleep

It was all a dream, there was a time that I believed that

But white lines be numbin' them dark times

The pills that I'm poppin', I need to man up

Admit it's a problem, I need to wake up

Before one mornin' I don't wake up

You make your mistakes, your mistakes never make ya

I'm too obsessed with goin' down as a great one

But if you wait too long they gon' find someone to replace ya

So I guess this is a letter

To all my brothers: Most Dope, that's forever

I love you more than words could express

And this the part that Q start cryin', if he ain't already yet

I did my best to be a leader you respect

At times I became weaker, got defeated by regret

So tell my baby I love her

And if she give me the chance I'll put a seed inside her, make her a mother

Just know that there's a place

Where all my people worry free and e'rybody straight

Every devil don't got horns, every hero ain't got capes

Open up my eyes, shit, I'm finally awake, good mornin'

Yeah, good mornin'

[ikkaku-of-heart]

@chillin-at-partys-bar

Ahhhh. So the man in question didn't even know the other woman existed. That was...a bit pitiful, but Ikkaku wouldn't say so. She didn't know Cherise's whole story. Maybe she was being foolish, falling in love with a man she'd never even met, or maybe she had crazy-intense Observation Haki and could see the future where the two of them lived happily ever after.

The latter seemed highly unlikely, but she'd heard of stranger things on the seas. And regardless, it seemed unnecessarily cruel to bash someone's dreams with the blunt cudgel of reality.

A gentle nudge, however, might do the other woman some good.

"True love can be a powerful thing," Ikkaku said, a fond smile unconsciously rising to her face. "My grandparents had that. My grandfather was a smuggler, back in the Golden Age, while my grandmother was back on their home island. They had to stay apart for decades. Gramps knew how cruel the World Government could be, and he didn't want anything happening to her. But they both stayed faithful and in love, even if they only got to communicate through coded letters and the rare Den Den call. But when they met again, they were still madly, deeply in love."

Leaning her hip against the railing and crossing her arms, she gave Cherise a meaningful stare. "I know that's not quite the same as your situation, but it's still good to know because true love can navigate even the choppiest seas and the most fathomless distances. But they need to be built on a strong foundation. If he doesn't know you exist, he can't return your feelings, and if he can't return your feelings, then you're shit out of luck and just pining for an illusion."

Uncrossing her arms, Ikkaku toyed with her black curls. Curls she'd inherited from her grandmother, along with many of her other physical features. For all that Ikkaku's life had been a tempest, she had always known that, in a way, true love was part of the reason she existed. It was something her grandfather had always made sure to remind her of when she questioned her cursed existence. "Loving a man from afar - a dream - is easy. Loving the man himself is a lot harder. You can't say your love is true until you actually meet the man in person. More importantly, you need to see if your feelings can actually be returned. And you definitely can't expect it right away. Remember, you've probably spent longer being in love with him than he has with you." Ikkaku could give a lot more advice than that, but it was better to avoid giving a lecture. She just hoped Cherise would actually heed her words.

Dark eyebrows shot up at the revelation of who the object of her affection was. "Roronoa Zoro? First mate to the Straw Hats? You're in love with him?" Shaking her head, she decided to keep any potential comments to herself. She could understand falling in lust with a hot swordsman like him, but love? Also, as far as Ikkaku knew, the man didn't have merchandise. When she'd mentioned it initially, Ikkaku had just assumed it was a pirate like that Cavendish guy. He seemed the type to have ladies falling for him from afar, and she'd definitely seen merch for him.

Oh dear. This was...starting to sound more on the delusional side of things. Because Ikkaku did know Zoro, and knew where he and the Straw Hats were headed, and while the alliance might technically be over between the crews, she didn't want to send a crazy fangirl into his path. He'd helped her learn two-sword style, after all. It was the least she could do.

"What, exactly, made you fall in love with him? If you don't mind me asking."

Cherise's sigh was as romantic as she could make it. Suddenly she wasn't a pirate with a baseball bat slung at her side and a pack of baseballs ready to fire. She was no longer a woman in jeans and a low-cut sweetheart neckline red shirt. No, now as she listened to the other woman she was a princess in a gown whose world had been upended by men who failed to be her prince.

"I've never met him," she said, her cherry-red lips pouting as she looks to the other woman. "But I have his merch." Not really. She has the merch that she made for him. She didn't sell it, unless someone had a good price but she wasn't going to help her competition. Though she was certain if he met her there would be no competition. Not that she was particularly vain, it's just that when someone is a soulmate only the other half of the soul would do.

"And I've been in love many times so that's how I know this is true love." True love was actually very easy to come by. The hard part was making sure the other person understood how to handle true love. Not everyone understood it, and that was the problem. If only they did. It would make things easier for her.

The pat on her shoulder did help bring her comfort, even though the woman's advice wasn't advice she was keen on taking. Sure, there were other fish in the sea. "But I've yet to fall in love with a fishman. I'm sure it will happen though, you're right about that."

Ignoring the true meaning of the idiom whether on purpose or otherwise, Cherise let her lips purse as she came up with her next plan of action. She made eye contact with the woman again. "I think you are right. I should finally meet him. Do you happen to know how one would be able to find Roronoa Zoro?"
