#��i think this blogger is so annoying!’ okay but think of it as this is just some guy

Mockery… like how site used to use everything as a dunk?

OKAY, AND SO?

It's been a while since I made an actual post but anyways, here's one for those who find the 3D or circumstances annoying or frustrating.

Personally I also tend to fall into this trap and end up getting distracted by unwanted circumstances and annoying negative doubts and thoughts that pop up in my head, and then start spiraling into this self-sabotaging routine. So I had to reframe my mindset. I cannot be thinking like this anymore or it will just be a vicious cycle where I'm seemingly "stuck" in the 3D.

I am sure we all know by now that the 3D - the physical reality, the circumstances, the mirror, whatever you call it, is completely changeable and malleable. Okay fine, you know that the 3D can be changed, but now it's all up in your face and you can't seem to stop being bothered about it. How are we supposed to go around this then?

Whenever I see something I don't like in the 3D or negative thoughts start to pop up in my head, I just tell myself "Okay, and so?" Because they really do not matter, they literally have NOTHING to do with my 4D and whatever is going in my imagination at all! Since you know the 3D is simply just a mirror, does it really matter in the first place? NO!

And I know many other bloggers also say the exact same thing regarding the 3D, but after giving it much thought, it really is that simple and I feel that even I have been overcomplicating it this whole time!

My main point is do not get distracted by the 3D, and DO NOT GIVE UP. I know circumstances and the 3D can be shit and you absolutely hate it to the core, but if you know how the law works, then DO NOT GIVE UP!!

You had negative thought. Okay, so? You spiralled. Okay, so? Your 3D showed something opposite to your desires. Okay, so? Do these really matter? NO!

So MOVE ON AND CONTINUE TO ENJOY IN IMAGINATION WHEN YOU CAN! You don't have to be perfect as long as you know you're still on the right track!

On “Insecure Jikookers”…

Alright. I might lose followers for this and that’s very okay; curate your timeline and protect your peace babes. But for YEARS, every time the phrase “insecure jikooker” has come up on my feed my eyelid has done a little twitchy twitch 🤨🤨

And I have always ignored it, because I’ve never wanted to be out here policing ppl’s language and we are literally supposed to be having fun and celebrating love, like for me that’s the whole point, but —

I’ve been seeing the phrase popping up again surrounding the release of AYS and I just gotta say it.

You guys the term seems so culty 😬🥲

Like I think I get the origin (maybe)? It probably started when some of the early jikook bloggers (if you are one I salute you, I am not worthy, trust me this is NOT a dig at anyone, jikook bloggers are by and large cool and kind af 🙇‍♀️) would get these sketchy asks that were antis or cultists in disguise just casting aspersions on jikook’s bond or being blatantly homophobic and/or in general being rude little anonymous internet gremlins. Or maybe it was people who did want to believe that jikook was real but kept nagging and begging for reassurance at every turn, which I can totally see becoming annoying as hell and prompting people to start using the term.

But it feels like it’s used now as like a catchall for anyone who expresses any doubt or asks any critical questions? Even like… reasonable ones? And I used to see a lot of “hey believe what you want to believe but this is what I believe” but now it seems like the sentiment around jikooker communities has by and large become “if you don’t believe you’re an idiotic dumb person who has never known love — you’re either a rival shipper in disguise or WORSE (dun dun dunnnnn) an Insecure Jikooker — and we don’t want people like you around.”

And idk it just feels weird for a community that has always seemed to kind of pride itself on being the “rational, fact-based” ship… like we LOVE to be smug about how jikook don’t need edits to be obvious, don’t need slo-mo zooms with red circles and arrows because their chemistry and fondness and affection is just plain to see in basic footage. We’re the levelheaded ones 😌.

But doesn’t that mean that we should always be encouraging critical thinking, and if someone comes to a different conclusion than us, so be it? Like it or not, none of us have foolproof confirmation that jikook are anything more than very close friends. That’s literally all we know. The rest is our best guess based on vibes, anecdotes, dot-connecting, subtext and body language observation, experience, perception (!!This is a big one because confirmation bias is real!!), and suspicion. That’s literally it.

Look maybe I’m just projecting 😅 but when you criticize people for expressing reasonable doubt over something that is literally not confirmed, it’s just a little too religious fundamentalist for me! (This is why I was a bad Christian, because I always raised my hand and asked questions the Sunday school teacher didn’t like.)

Feel free to ignore me. I never want to come across as pushy or trying to stir up anything, it’s just a phrase that grinds my gears and I’m sort of hoping I’m not alone in that… but if I am, so be it! 🤣 would love to hear people’s thoughts because maybe I’m missing something.

(P.S. If you’re a troll who spams jikook blog inboxes this is not me defending you. You’re still annoying and you need a better hobby. Have you tried yoga? Snowboarding? Fly fishing? Filming food vlogs and/or painting? You should try cooking. You should stop being an anonymous internet troll stomping on everyone’s proverbial sandcastles and instead write a poem. K bye ✌️ )

[fawnprincessblog]

Hi everyone, guess who's back.

After 2 months of absence i've decided to bring myself back on here and explain some things that have happened.

💗

After publishing a post a while back regarding incest, i had recieved a lot of hate since then. When i posted it I had no idea how much hate I was bound to receive from all of you once you guys saw it, and honestly i didn't think it would get that much attention. After realising it was clearly causing so much hate I posted an apology, which all you also thought was total shit, so I deleted that too.

And right after, I was bombarded with an ungodly amount of death threats through my inbox, people asking me to kill myself and end it. It was a whole lot, and I really didn't think that one measly post would set you guys off so fast. And honestly I was surprised to see how much there was. My inbox was full of them, and I couldn't handle it all.

Soon enough as expected one person had gone anonymous, sending inbox messages to my followers to report the 'heinous crime' I've committed by posting one silly thing, which by the way, put out a lot of false information. The person was over exaggerating, putting shitty words in my mouth. And I'm here now to talk about all the accusations the person has made. To the people who recieved the inbox message, here's your real explanation from the blogger who made the damn posts.

1. I 'nonchalantly' wrote twincest about Tom and Bill.

First of all, I have never in my life intended to ship the damn twins. If you have checked tumblr well enough, you should be aware there's tons of threesome sex fics about Tom and Bill, where they both fucked the reader at once. And if you fucking bothered to read my fic properly and not jump to conclusions to try so damn hard and cancel me, you'd know damn well Tom and Bill never even touched eachother in the fic that I wrote. They didn't have sex with eachother, they didn't DIRTY TALK eachother, and they did NOT do anything that would have come across as incest.

They both simply fucked the reader and talked to the reader, having nothing to do with each other in the fic. Get your damn facts right b4 you try to sound like a fucking smartass.

2. I want to be 'chained up and used.'

Kinks and fantasies everyone, c'mon. People have FUCKING KINKS. And mind you, this is tumblr. If you srsly see shit like this and start acting out because it makes you sad then clearly it's not for you so like just scroll? You have a damn finger, don't you? Unless, y'know, you cut the damn thing off.

Anyway, I think it's pathetic you're acting all petty over it cause you wanna cancel someone so bad and be the fucking hero of the day. Nobody cares, cunt.

3. I wanted to 'abuse' Bill.

To clarify this one, I do agree that the term 'abuse' was too strong. I don't intend to fucking abuse the poor guy, I just had no idea how to fucking word my sentence and how I was trying to get the damn message out. I've already edited my post on this one. So, chill out.

4. I'm 'anti-lgbt'?

This shitty one has been going around a LOT ever since I posted something regarding how annoying Bill was in the Kaulitz & Kaulitz series, where he talked alot about his sexuality.

First of all I'm not fucking homophobic. To let you guys know I am a Catholic Christian, (ik, not a very holy one) and supporting the lgbt community is definitely not on the list. And even if so, I do not disrespect anyone who's part of it. We aren't told to treat you guys any less. And for me, although I never encouraged the idea, I don't look lower on the person. Even I myself catch myself in a 'lesbian-feeling' situation sometimes.

And if you've seen the comments on the post I made about that Bill thing, all the comments agree with my anyway. We all collectively agree he went a little overboard but so what? I'm just saying. Suck on that, stupid hoe!

5. I support pedophilia.

Babe, check the post again and see how many people were totally okay with the damn post in the first place. I have never agreed ever that pedophilia was okay, and there's tons of older Tom fics with this age gap. Please, istg, do your research before crying over spilled milk to save yourself the embarrassment.

And, to let y'know, who ever sent these inbox messages, one of the friends that you sent these to—I think her name was 'pain of l0ve' or smtg—was totally one of the biggest supporters on that post asking for a full blown fic of older tom and the 17 year old girl. She uses to be my follower too. Dw, I have a screenshot before she blocked me and tried to act all shocked and surprised that I post those malicious things you said! ^^

mm...that really pissed me off ngl 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, that concludes it. Hope this answers your questions about all this misinformation that this person has spread in attempt to cancel me.

I also just want to put it out there that I'm really sorry for posting something like that, and now looking at it I do agree that it was weird. I apologise for anyone who got uncomfortable. All the death threats I've received weren't necessary though. I don't ever think it's right to go that far on anyone. Please be mindful sometimes. Other than that, I'm really sorry.

And I also wanna thank @itsangelll for being there for me when I couldn't answer all the haters myself. Girl you really helped me out, standing up for me and explaining the situation. Ilysm always 💗💗

But for the cunt that sent out all the inbox messages, I hope you had fun doing so anyways :3 I really do appreciate all the stalking and effort you put in just for me so you could cancel me and be heard! 🥺 Seriously the hero of the day! You really read through all my stuff so you could dig out the littlest things! Talk about dedication!! Quite obsessed I must say.

Kisses, love ya! 💋💋💗

Blaine-friendly Kurtbastian Fic Recs

Putting a list together for @fallevs, but I hope this will be useful for anyone who wants to dip their toes into Kurtbastian fanfiction but doesn't want to read anything anti-Blaine! Everything included in this list will either not include Blaine at all, or if he is in the fic, it will be neutral or friendly toward him.

I've tried to include a wide range of words counts as well, so that you can start with something short and sweet or dive into something big, whatever you feel like. If anyone else has some recommendations to add, please feel free to reblog this list and add more!

Europe Is Our Playground by @glitterdammerung - 53,430 words

Summary: Eight years and half the world away from home, a chance encounter in a Paris club leads Kurt and Sebastian - each running from the ghosts of their pasts - into the diversion of chasing each other across Europe.

(Let's give them) Something to talk about by MemeKonGlee - 20,529 words

Summary: “I need you to—” “I heard you the first time,” Kurt interrupts, putting his fork and knife down on his plate and pushing his half-finished pancakes aside. “What I meant was: what the hell?” He points towards the neglected pancakes, trying to stall in the face of Kurt’s reaction. “Are you sure you don’t wanna finish that first?” The look in Kurt's eyes tells him in no uncertain terms that no, he doesn't want to finish his pancakes, Jesus. And so Sebastian has no option but to take a deep breath in, exhale slowly through his mouth and just… get on with it, internally cringing at how unbelievably ridiculous it all sounds when he puts it in words, all out there for the world (and more importantly, Kurt fucking Hummel) to judge. It all boils down to: I fucked up and I'm too proud to deal with it the mature way.

Safe Mode by flipmeforward - 18,118 words

Summary: An AU in which Kurt and Sebastian never met in high school. Instead, they meet at &brave--an up-and-coming online fashion company where Kurt is the new assistant slash blogger (one day he will figure out a better title), and Sebastian is the less than pleasant tech support guy. Kurt does his best to avoid Sebastian and his rude attitude at all possible costs, but it turns out that technology is not his friend. It also turns out that Sebastian might maybe possibly be (okay, probably is) more than just an annoying coworker.

Come On And Mess Me Up by @pouralittlewater - 215,339 words

Summary: “It’s like...When Harry Met Sally,” Santana told him. “No. That was me and Blaine.” “How? You literally got together in months. You and Sebastian have been skirting the issue for years. This whole “will they, won’t they” thing is getting old.” Or, when Sebastian enrolls in McKinley High and joins Glee right before the duet competition. What Kurt thinks could be the start to a great friendship in gay camaraderie quickly explodes in his face as he realizes being around Sebastian makes him want to set the other boy on fire. However, over time, that feeling dissipates. Even without the title of friendship, the two become ingrained in each other's lives in a way neither ever expected to.

Thunderbolts & Lightning by @alphabees-writes - 1,854 words

Summary: Sebastian has a plan. It goes wrong, and then right, and then wrong again.

tension bars by @cryscendo - 824 words

Summary: Prompt by backslashdelta: kurt, sports!au (gymnastics), exes, “sometimes, i sit in bed and wonder what would happen if things were different.”

I Want The World To See You'll Be With Me by @backslashdelta (me!) - 2,405 words

Summary: Kurt and Sebastian attend a Christmas party, and Sebastian has a special surprise for Kurt afterward.

Dessert by @nalasan - 1,175 words

Summary: “Oh my God,” Sebastian says, staring at the plate in front of him. “We have to break up.” Kurt, who has just walked into their living room and is still in his winter coat, raises his eyebrow quizzically; his expression more bemused than worried, “And why is that?” “Just look at that,” Sebastian replies, gesturing at the table in front of him like he is seeing it for the first time: the white tablecloth, the candles in their silver candleholders, the white roses in their vase in the middle of the table, and the dinner Sebastian has been preparing since he came home three hours ago.

And Why Is That? by @20xbetterthanu - 41,321 words

Summary: "I love you, and I hate myself for that." "And why is that?" Love hurts.

Note from me: this fic is definitely not anti-Blaine, however it does heavily involve Blaine and he is Not having a good time, so I maybe wouldn't recommend it if you want to avoid him (and the other boys!) being sad.

A Change In The Weather by cacophonylights - 209,414 words

Summary: The summer before college Kurt is shocked when Sebastian comes to him with a timely offer he can’t refuse.  He’ll get something he needs to realize his dreams, but in return he has to play the role of Sebastian’s boyfriend for the summer.  Neither of them know just how much their worlds are about to change. For a GKM prompt.

Note from me: this fic COULD be considered anti-Blaine, but I don't personally consider it to be; it maybe doesn't paint him in the most positive light, but I think it's still neutral enough to be on this list, and it's essentially required reading at this point! Also, it is famously unfinished, but there are a couple fan sequels: ACITW AU by @lady-divine-writes A Drop In The Ocean by @daftydraw and jwmelmoth The ACITW link above is for livejournal, but you can also find the original fic on AO3 in two parts here and here.

[deadghosy]

If I was in Hazbin hotel:

Author insert x Hazbin Hotel

Prompt: an author is bored as they decided to jump into their favorite fandom at this very moment.

Honestly I’m bored asf rn lmao.

Will, the blogger in tumblr known as Deadghosy was bored in his room as he listens to jay aka kub scoutz 😍 playing lil guardsman. Being even more bored they opened their palm as a digital portal opens-

OKAY STOP…at first I was gonna do that story ass shit but let me be real. I died by not getting enough sleep and I popped into hell for not liking those Jesus posts😭

I’d honestly be in the sloth ring for being lazy asf and being tired most of the time. But also be in the gluttony ring as well. A BIG BITCH GOTTA EATTTT😭

But I would probably still be able to go into the pride ring because of my pride in not needing help from people. 😭 I hate asking for damn help irl.

I actually have very sharp canine teeth and bottom rows, I might as well be mistaken for a humanoid demon lol/j

But if did have a demon form, it’s a bear since I eat and sleep all day lmao.

Alastor wouldn’t “hate hate” me but find me annoying. I would try to get on his good side and never do deals with him obviously cause I like my soul 😍. But dead ass I’m showing him lingo of gen z ☝🏾💀 cause ain’t no way ima hear this deer man yap in a way I can’t understand. This is not no new broadcast from the old times dude. “Salutations!-” HAVIN ASS😕

Friendship level: 5/10

Sir Pentious, I’m teaching this bitch how to do the whip and nae nae 😄. I love him personally cause he so silly sometimes. I would just pop up as he works on weapons but not help him lol. I think personally our friendship would be the kind to talk to each other for a little and stop and repeat😕

Friendship level: 4.5/10

Charlie would like me because of my hyperactive personality sometimes. Like if I’m fixating on something, she would listen and probably tell her father. But mostly i wouldn’t do the trust exercises, she’ll have to drag my black ass to do them 💀

Friendship level: 6/10

Lucifer and I would be so chill dead ass. He’s probably adopt me if I’m gonna be honest cause I also have a duck toy in my room as we speak 😭LITERALLY I MIGHT AS WELL BE A MINI HIM WITH HIM HAVING HYPER FIXATIONS.

Friendship level: 10/10

Vaggie and me, idk she’s chill but short tempered. But I don’t think she would hate me but only he suspicious at first, but then just be chill with me. I would try to help her around but procrastinate lmao

Friendship level: 5.5//10

Husk would probably be chill but not have an opinion on me honestly. It will depend on me just going to talk to him or being nervous to talk to him. I hate being awkward so I would just wave or sit by his bar and chill with him as I draw.

Friendship level: it’s probably between 3/10 and 5/10

Angel and me, idk I feel like I would be a small friend of his to help. He wouldn’t trauma dump that much on me cause I’m just a kid so it would be like “oh my work is shit but my boss is even more shit.” So I would just nod acting like I don’t know what’s going on. Plus, I would probably try to make him something with the help of Lucifer

Friendship level: ima be honest…it’s probably a 4/10 cause I’m a minor and he has problems he need it overcome. He doesn’t need a minor to yap his ear off 😕

The Vee’s…😕ain’t no way ima talk to them front to front if I’m actually gonna be their friends dead ass. I would probably mostly be friends with Velvette to hook me up on outfits😍

Friendship level: -1000/10

Valentino…HAH YOU WOULD HAVE TO CATCH MY BLACK ASS ACTUALLY DEAD IF IM GONNA CHILL WITH THIS BASTARD 😂 I’m burning his whole studio down in a cool ass pyro tf2 mask. Fuck that bitch, all my homies hate Valentino 🤭

ENEMY LEVEL: 10000000/10🖕🏾

Vox, I’m begging him to try to advance my phone so I can prank call heaven and hell at the same time. I’m using so much evil ass shit🦆 like dead ass ima say “I heard your high school bully is in heaven” to an angel so they would go crazy trying to find their bully lmao. But Vox would hate my ass cause..I’m me? Idk lol

Enemy level: 8.5/10

Velvette, eh I feel like we would be mutuals but not too friendly. More like a hook up just so i can get free outfits and she can get a quick teen model and I can leave with the fit fr 😍 no money, free outfit‼️

Friendship level: 4.5/10

Adam and me..we throwin hands. Full on fist to fist. He probably would try to cheat but nahhh, you gettin kicked in the manhood bitch 😄‼️ but yeah me and him, enemies for life. He’s funny I’ll admit, but be honest having him beside you irl💀

Enemy level: he better keep one eye open.

Sera…yeah she not letting me in heaven lmao 😭 that’s all ima say LMAOO

Friendship level: -0/10

Lute will 100% percent kill me for my mouth 😭. I’d probably say GYATT to her for funnies only to get stab. But I would just be quiet and try to be on her good side lmao

Friendship level: 2/10

Emily would like me but would be the type of person to keep me in check with my mouth and vulgar language as I just chill eating all the food in heaven. She def givin me good tours.

Friendship level: a good 7.5/10

That’s all I have lmao

[riansdiary]

BEFORE YOU SEND AN ASK... Please check if your question can be answered here and check if what you're about to ask is in here. Thank you!

1. Can I manifest...

The answer to this question is always yes. You can manifest anything you want as long as you can imagine having it.

2. I wanna manifest ____ but...

Okay so for this, I would rather have you tell me what you need help on in manifesting without the circumstances. You can tell me what you're not understanding about it and what you're having a hard time processing about manifesting instead. More so generally like "Hey Rian, I'm not seeing it in the 3d and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I need you to understand that the only one who's keeping that in your reality is you. Why? Attention is our currency (I learned from Neyah and various people) and what you focus on always, you will get more of it.

That's really important and we need to tell everyone about this more. I had a hard time myself before because I was paying attention to what I don't want. Pay attention to your affirmations and positive thoughts and good things. This is why I like the method of following my happiness when I'm resistant and paying attention to what I don't want cause it helps me take my mind off it.

So many of my asks have this exact question. While I'm not angry at it, of course not. It just gets repetitive and they're mostly paying attention to what they don't want and accepting the 3d as a fact. See your desires and affirmations as facts instead. Accept and internalize that more. Please do not contradict your affirmations. Keep saying yes and agreeing to them being true instead. Leave the 3d alone. It doesn't have any meaning except the meaning you give it.

You were saying it's done I have this thing then suddenly you saw something in the 3d and you gave it meaning.

"Oh this means he doesn't want me."

"Oh my God no it's not working!"

"Oh no where is it? I affirmed so much, we should be rich by now"

You contradicted yourself and gave it meaning but you could have done this instead:

You don't accept it as a fact. You keep thinking your desire is a fact already.

For SP:

"It doesn't have any meaning. Oh he's still so in love with me.

For money: looking at your wallet with not much money.

"Oh I don't have much cash, all my money is in the bank and I like to use credit cards. Been using my black card lately. I'm so rich."

Stop letting a dead reality that's just reflecting you to change your mind. Try and practice this with small desires.

IF 👏 YOU 👏 SAY 👏 IT'S 👏 IN 👏 YOUR 👏 REALITY 👏 THEN 👏 IT 👏 IS 👏

You're the boss! Don't forget that. It's not "the 3d is the boss", sometimes everyone needs that reminder. Seek validation from your mind! You say how it is! You just need to keep going inwards. Even just reminding yourself gently whenever you think about it is enough.

IT'S 👏 ALREADY 👏 HERE 👏

3. I have a stubborn mind.

This is not an attack. I just wrote this here to remind you that ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS ARE AFFIRMATIONS and that YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE TRUE OR NOT.

Please, let's stop saying things like this. You are persisting on a negative affirmation. You could accept instead that you believe and accept your affirmations as facts immediately.

Just wanted to remind everyone that you just need to change your mind and your assumptions.

4. The law of assumption is fake.

Then why are you here? I've answered these kinds of asks multiple times and it's getting annoying. If that's your belief then it's fine but why are you here in Loablr then? It doesn't make any sense. So don't believe it, if that's what you want. You don't need to go to multiple loa bloggers and tell them your BS beliefs for no reason.

5. Cute little messages for me 🫶

I just wanna say thank you to all the anons who have been extra nice to me and told me kind things! Thank you so much!!! It really makes my day and I appreciate it! 🥰

6. Hateful, mean or kill yourself asks

Please refrain from doing this. You can do it to me all you want, I won't be affected at all because I know I'm in the right but please don't do this to any other Loa bloggers. It's harmful. I'm warning you now, I can be savage when it comes to any person doing this. You're just wasting your time on something negative and bad. I won't stop telling you that it's WRONG to do this.

If you don't have anything nice to say, kindly click away from my blog or someone else's. Be kind. I know you could be going through something so I can understand that but it's still a bad thing to do so please stop this, thank you.

[autisticandroids]

Hey ur my fave spn blogger by far (heavy is the head that has the crown etc etc) it occurred to me I've never heard u talk in Bobby? Any thoughts? Id love to hear em.

hey! so this is an interesting question. probably the reason i don't post much about bobby has to do with the fact that... well... i actually broadly enjoy bobby, and i enjoy him for exactly the same basic, surface level reasons as the show expects me to.

like, normally, if i'm watching supernatural, i am at least somewhat in conflict with the text. it expects me to like things i don't like (these are called "dogshit episodes" and they're a common hazard), and when i do like it it's often not really for the reasons that the show is expecting me to like it.

like... if you really want to see me shout and cheer, you should see what it looks like when i rewatch exile on main st., but neither a randomly selected mainstream audience nor miss gamble herself would necessarily agree with or even understand why i was doing so. like my enjoyment of that episode requires a lot of interpretive effort.

but fast forward three episodes to weekend at bobby's, and i could sit in a room with a general audience person, a reddit bro, a wincestie, and dabb/lofflin themselves and we would all basically have the same watch experience. i might be critical of the treatment of japanese culture, or annoyed by the way crowley's heel turn was handled, or something else, some specific element. but in terms of the broad strokes - bobby going around doing things, hunting a case, existing in relationships with a series of other characters - i like it for exactly the reason i'm meant to.

and that's kind of how bobby as a character is for me. there just isn't a lot of distance between what i'm supposed to enjoy and what i do enjoy. and it's that distance, and the interpretive labor required to close it, that generates thoughts, and thoughts are what generates posts. which means i don't really have a ton of posts about bobby.

i guess i will say... i used to be cautiously pro-killing-bobby-off in s7, definitely more than other characters who died in gamble era. because i was like "man, you gotta kill the father figure." that's the nature of these things. but upon rewatch, i actually think bobby's role as father figure is overstated. certainly it's overstated by the fandom, but even in the show to an extent. although i will concede a bit because i love when soulless sam tries to kill him. only good thing that happens in appointment in samarra. but overall bobby is as much just a friend as he is a father, you know? he engages with the boys on much more equal terms than a parent does.

but anyway. i don't like that they killed him because 1) they kept bringing him back, frequently stupidly. i liked safe house, but otherwise i am against basically all of bobby's appearances post-s7. i guess inside man was fine, but like. that's just the thing. it was fine. resoundingly okay. and safe house could easily have happened with bobby alive, just like. have him having the flashback. and 2) i think it has a bad effect on the show because like... after bobby died, the interpersonal conflict became even more dour. and it's already so fucking dour. there are no outside characters whatsoever to observe when things happen and so stuff spirals into madness even more and worse than it used to. no one is there to yell at dean the way bobby did in season four, you know? and then 3) i just enjoy bobby a lot i'm an enjoyer. i would have liked the show more if he stuck around in a meaningful way (and not just as a constantly recurring oh he's back from the dead for an episode plot).

[pinkchrissysposts]

hey chrissy! I’ve been doing the ROE technique and the 3DOL it’s day 4 and I haven’t gotten anything. Today I woke up and I feel like shit since I’m still here living this life. I tried saturating my mind for the past few days idk if I failed because when I’d affirm I’d lose focus then after a few minutes I’d remember then I’d affirm again and the pattern continues. I was so confident yesterday that I’d wake up in the void but I didn’t and I will persist but it just hurts to affirm. I’m starting to feel like I don’t deserve this or something but I’ll keep persisting. Idk if it’s my affirmations or if my intrusive thoughts impressed my subconscious because whenever I unintentionally think about school and my deadline and just this life as a whole and “what if nothing happens?” “What if this is all fake?” “What if I wake up here again?” I literally feel my stomach turn and my heart sink and it’s so annoying but I keep affirming. My question is if my intrusive thoughts are impressing mu subconscious which is why I keep failing because if it is then I’m fucked💀 because I feel nice when I visualise my life afterwards and affirm waking up in the void but I always feel the most whenever I think the opposite. Normally I manifest small things I don’t give a shit about but it’s normally me affirming not feeling anything at all and then I imagine the idea of that thing happening and then I forget about it. But i feel like if I forget about the void I’ll never ever achieve it and my life is falling apart. I’ve been reading success stories that have to do with affirming and they were lucky enough to do it in a short span and I’m just scared for myself overall and idk if I will be able to as well. Because of how lucky they are I even question if this is all real😭😭 like I’ll be feeling content and a little confident (some anxiety is still there) when I affirm and I’m like okay I’ll wake up in it tonight then I wake up and feel my chest ache to see the same thing again🗿 do I have to affirm every minute without stopping or something? because my attention span is short and I lose focus easily or is it my affirmations?

I affirm “roe i wake up in the void aware every time I fall asleep” and then I say “roe i always manifest/ my affirmations instantly manifest/materialise in 3 days or less”

I think you just lose focus😭but it's fine I had an anon who was also was suffering with the same issue because she have adhd and anxiety but after a month she dm me again saying she entered void. What helped her is doing a 3 minute breathwork before her her saturation session and doing eft tapping whenever negative thoughts start to distract her,it took her a week but she never no matter what or how much anxiety she had let 3D lead her. If you felt like it's not gonna work then take at 15 minutes and let yourself feel those emotions,then take a deep breath and go for affirming or deciding. I read a post by a blogger saying that.

And never ever think that you don't deserve void then you are absolutely wrong,because you are void,when we sleep we're in void it's just we are not aware of it. You are literally sinning if you ere not letting yourself have the desire. You must remember that desire or thing or void didn't have any meaning to it until you decided to give it all the power and keeping it in pedestal,if you didn't know about void it wouldn't even exist in your reality. So never let those thoughts lead you to an u desirable state.

Scarabée and Kitty Claws AU

The Mime. A perilous Performer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were alot of posts on Instagram about Fred Haprèle's first show.

While it did have its MANY supporters...

♻️Mylegend🎥: I'm SO excited for tonight's show! This IS my dad's first major performance after all.

💙Mari-Caroon🥐: I am too! Thanks for thinking of me as a back-up plus one!

♻️Mylegend🎥: No problem! Ivan DID say he was gonna really busy with Kitty Section tonight.

💙Mari-Caroon🥐: I still think it's incredible how quickly Luka and Juleka were able to form a band.

❤️Best-Blogger📱: I WISH I could go... but I gotta babysit the twins. The struggles of being an older sister. Alix and Juleka are SO lucky to be the baby sisters.

❤️Best-Blogger📱: Alix, you there? You'd NEVER let that slide.

💥Alix the Awesome🥇: Sorry about that you guys! Was abit preoccupied. Me Nate and Marc are gonna meet you guys at Sweet Paris Creperie & Café.

❤️Best-Blogger📱: Girls! Scarabée just saved a kid! I gotta get this interview!

There was also that one bitter non-enjoyer of his work. Like his under study Christos AKA Chris.

Christos, annoyed: All these people are lined up for nothing! I could preform WAY better than Fred.

Sarah: Just a reminder that you ARE an under study.

Not far from the two, a child managed to get out of their mother's grasp and tries to run across the street, completely unaware of the car speeding towards.

Alix who was on her way to get her pre-paid tickets, sees this and immediately reacts.

She quickly hides, transforms into Scarabée, and swings to immediately grab the child and get them to safety.

The kid: Thank you, Scarabée!

Scarabée, quickly sends a text without looking at her yo-yo: No need to thank me. Now get back to your mom.

As the child went back to their mother, Scarabée notices Alya running up to her.

Alya: Scarabée! That was amazing! Do you have time for a quick interview-

Scarabée: Sorry, no time for an interview. I got plans! Next time for sure! *quickly swings out of her line of sight*

After landing behind a discreet hiding place without being seen or noticed, Alix transforms back, Tikki hides, and Alix walks up to Sarah to get her pre-paid tickets.

Alix: Hey Sarah! I'm here for-

Sarah: No need to explain, Miss Kubdel. Here you go! *gives her an envelope* your father paid great money for these.

Alix, taking the envelope: I am will aware.

Christos: *rolls his eyes at her*

Alix, says internally while walking away: What's that guy's deal? Whatever, I have better things to do.

Alix then once again discreetly hides, transforms into Scarabée, and quickly swings towards her destination, making sure to get there before Alya.

~~~~At Sweet Paris Creperie & Café~~~~

Marinette and Mylène were sitting at one of the Café's larger tables with Alix Nathaniel and Marc was Alya comes rushing through the door.

Marinette: Alya! Are you okay?

Nathaniel: Sounds like you were RUSHING to get here.

Marc: We saw the texts. Did you get an interview with Scarabée!

Alya: Unfortunately no, but she DID say she'd be available next time!

Nathaniel: At least you got a great apology video for Kitty Claws! *plays the video*

Alya, in the video: So let me get this straight, Jolie was the one who stole the Mona Lisa and trashed Sweet Paris... because she was akumatized due to Kitty Claws lying about her relationship status with Scarabée?

Kitty Claws, in the video: That’s right. And I can’t apologize enough for how I behaved today. It was messed up of me to take my bad day out on Jolie.

Jolie, in the video: For the LAST time Kitty Claws, it’s okay! Not everyone is perfect, that involves Superheroines or Superheroes.

Mylène: I was honestly surprised that Jolie was SO forgiving. Considering all that happened two days ago.

Nathaniel, smirking: Hey Alix that means Kitty Claws is single!

Alix: Nate, I WILL waste this crepe by throwing it at you if you saw another word!

Marc: It's best not to test her...

Mylène: Marinette! We gotta heard to your place to pick up my dad's hat!

Marinette: Oh right! We gotta get going!

Marc: My mom rented a limo for me to get around all day for errands. I can help you there to pick up the hat and drop you off at the play.

Mylène: That's awesome Marc! Thank you so much!

Marinette: Too bad you're unable to attend the show due to your errands...

Marc: No need to be upset about that. Let's go!

Marinette and Mylène: Right! *follows Marc out of the Café*

Alya: I gotta get home to the twins! See you guys hopefully later!

Alix and Nathaniel: Bye Alya!

Alya: *leaves the Café*

Nathaniel: Alright Alix, spill.

Alix, smirking: Whatever do you mean?

Nathaniel: You clearly have something planned.

Alix: You know me so well. *takes the envelope out her bag, opens it, and gives one of the tickets to Nathaniel* Here is your ticket. Now I gotta give Alya her's quickly. The only ticket would've been Marc's, but like he said, he had to run errands for his mom. So after getting Jalil to babysit in advance, Alya's gonna be going to the play with us.

Nathaniel, with his mouth agape: How are you gonna pull off getting the tickets to Alya, and getting the twins to Jalil before tonight?! Even you're not that fast!

Alix, smirking: That's my little secret.

Nathaniel, smirking: Is Kitty Claws helping you out with this?

Alix, blushing: Do you want me to take the ticket back?

Nathaniel, grinning: Not really changing the subject. What do you think Kitty Claws is doing right now?

Alix: Stop testing me Nate!

Nathaniel, still grinning: The fact that you consider a simple question as a test is quite telling-

Alix, blushing furiously: Nate!

Nathaniel: Alright alright... I'm done!

~~~~At Le Grand Paris~~~~

Chloé and Sabrina were getting ready for the play in her room.

Chloé had several outfits ready for herself and Sabrina.

Sabrina: Do we really need so many options?

Chloé: Of course we do!

Sabrina: Adrien's limo is gonna be here to pick us up in thirty minutes!

Chloé: We'll worried about that when it's closer to the five minute mark.

Sabrina: The show isn't until tonight! This is Mylène's dad's first major show... *smirks* do you think Alix is gonna be there?

Chloé, blushing furiously: Just pick an outfit!

Sabrina, still smirking: So NOW you're in a hurry?

Plagg, hiding: *whispers* Teenage girls are so unpredictable...

Chloé: Remember Sabrina, we heading early to hang out with Adrien before the play to cheer him up since he dad won't be joining us.

Sabrina: *smirks* So... if Alix just so happens to be where we're gonna hang out, that's a bonus?

Chloé: *throws an aqua green and black emperor waist dress at her*

Sabrina, admiring the dress: This is perfect!

~~~~At the Dupain-Cheng Bakery~~~~

The limo had just pulled up just as Fred walked in front of the Bakery.

Mylène, getting out of the limo with Marinette right behind her: Dad! *hugs him tightly* Are you ready for "The Mine's Extraordinary Adventure"?

Fred, returning her hug: Absolutely! Gotta make my biggest fan proud! Just need the finishing touch.

Marinette: I'll go get your hat so you can be on your way, Mr. Haprèle! *enters the bakery*

Fred then notices Marc in the Limo.

Fred: Marc, make sure to thank your mother for me again for writing the play.

Marc: Will do, Mr. Haprèle! *turns to Mylène* I got errands to attend to. Hope you guys enjoy the show!

Mylène: We will!

After the limousine drives off, Marinette comes out of the bakery with Fred's hat just as Mylène stops hugging him.

Marinette, holding the hat up to him: Here it is!

Fred: Thank you Marinette. Saving me at the last minute! *happily does the mime box trick before taking the hat*

Marinette, holding the invisible box: I fixed the tear in it and added the small pocket, just like you a asked.

Fred: You did a perfect job! Thanks to you, *takes a mini photo of Mylène out of his pocket* I'll have my good luck charm right here next to me at all times. A photo of my beloved daughter. *puts the photo in the hat's pocket*

Mylène: Awww dad! *hugs him again*

The second Fred puts his hat on, he gets a suspected call.

Fred, answering his cell-phone: Hello Sa-

Sarah, over the phone: FRED! WHERE ARE YOU!

Fred: I just had to get my hat-

Sarah: I NEED YOU HERE NOW! NONE OF YOUR EXCUSES!

Fred: It's not an excuse, I know the bus is leaving in last than an hour, I'll be there! *ends the call and sighs in relief* That was Sarah the play's director. She's very nervous about the premiere, she ready to blow a fuse! So I better get going. *kisses Mylène on the forehead* See you girls tonight at the Eiffel Tower. *runs off*

Marinette: Can't wait!

Mylène: Love you!

Marinette and Mylène then go inside to get ready for the play.

Marinette: Wait until you see the outfit I made for you Mylène! *pulls her into the bakery*

Meanwhile, Chris and Sarah are about to board the bus for the show.

Chris: So what's his excuse this time?

Sarah: He said he had to pick up his hat from a repair shop, or at least that what he said.

Chris: *rolls his eyes* He's one convincing actor.

Sarah: He IS a great actor, but he's always making excuses for why he's late-

Chris: Why he sleeps in the middle of rehearsal? Why he has to leave early? Why he's messing parts of his costume? Come on Sarah! When are you gonna wake up and smell the coffee? But it's up to you if you want the show to suffer... *turns his back to her*

Sarah: You're his under study. Just be ready to take his place if something happens, okay?

Chris, with his back still turned to her: I won't let you down.*smirks*

Sarah: Thanks.

~~~~At the Louvre~~~~

While Alim was helping Nathaniel get ready for the dance, Alix got a video call from Marinette.

Alix, making she isn't seen below the neck during the call: Hey Marinette! What's up?

Marinette: Oh nothing... *turn the phone to Mylène* just Mylène looking absolutely marvelous for the play tonight!

Alix: Mylène you look incredible!

Mylène: Thanks Alix! I'll tell you how the play went when it ends.

Alix: I'm looking forward to your review. Bye! *ends the call*

Nathaniel, now in his dark grey two-piece suit: Keeping this a secret from them was such a great plan!

Alix, in her warm grey two-piece suit: They're gonna be so surprised to see us there! Speaking of surprises, I gotta make sure Alya gets hers. Jalil, get ready for a surprise visitor. I gotta go double check something really fast.

Jalil: Right.

Alix then quickly leaves out of the Louvre, hides out, quietly transforms into Scarabée, and swings through the building.

Scarabée, internally: Good thing no one suspects a thing...

Jalil, internally: *stands by the door* How has Alix not gotten caught by others yet? I hope she's got an excuse planned for me.

A knock on the door is heard, before Alim could get up to answer him, Jalil rushes passed him.

Jalil: Don't worry dad. I got it! *answers the door and sees Scarabée* Hello Scarabée! What are you doing here?

Scarabée: I figured owned your sister a favor. So I'll be dropping you off at the Scarablogger's place.

Nathaniel, walking up to the door: Of course Alix got a Superheroine to help her pull this surprise off. Where is she anyway?

Jalil: I'd like to know that too!

Scarabée: She said something about getting snacks for everyone before the show.

Alim, walking up to them: If I knew she were gonna go on a quick trip to the store, I would've sent her a small list...

Scarabée: I'm sure she kept you in mind as well, Mr. Kubdel.

Jalil, internally: Good to know She had that planned out.

Scarabée: Ready to go?

Jalil: Yeah.

After leaving the Louvre, Scarabée grabs Jalil and swings in the direction of the Césaire home.

Meanwhile Fred was walking closer to the bus stop until he gets an unsuspecting phone call.

Fred, answering his phone: Don't worry Sarah, I'm early. I'm just right around the corner.

Chris: Actually it's Chris. Sarah asked me to tell you about a last minute Location Change. The bus is picking us up at the Louvre Pyramid in ten minutes.

Fred: Really? That's on the other side of town.

Chris: Yeah, but it's closer to the Eiffel Tower.

Fred: Well... okay, luckily I'll make it there on time. Thanks for letting me know.

Chris: No problem! We'll see you there.

Fred: *ends the call*

Chris, chuckling: Such an idiot.

~~~~~At the Césaire home~~~~~

Was watching Ella and Etta as they ran back and forth when she hears a knock at the door.

She then gets up to answer it.

Alya: Mom must've forgotten something...

When she opens the door, she shocked to see Jalil and Scarabée herself standing in front of her.

Alya, excited: Scarabée?! What are you doing here with Jalil?

Scarabée: I owe a friend of yours a favor. Jalil here is gonna watch your sisters while you go to the play tonight!

Alya, getting even more excited: This is happening so fast! I don't have an outfit picked out!

Scarabée: Way ahead of you.

Scarabée then holds up her yo-yo with one hand, and pulls an elegant red and black wrap dress.

Scarabée, holding the dress up to Alya: Here you are!

Alya: happily taking the dress: This is so beautiful! Thank you so much!

Scarabée: Don't thank me, thank your friend Alix when you see her.

Jalil: I'll do your hair real quick before you go Alya. Scarabée, why do you STEP OUT for a second? My sister went on a snack run. Can you see if she's alright.

Scarabée: OH! Of course! After I check on her, I'll be right back to drop you off at the Louvre Alya! *quickly leaves*

While Scarabée was on her way to the store, Sarah and Chris were ready to broadcast the bus.

Chris, already on the bus: We have to get to the Eiffel Tower for dress rehearsal. If you want any longer, you'll be jeopardizing the entire production.

Sarah: *sighs* You're right Chris, let's get going. *broading the bus* You'll be taking Fred's place tonight.

Chris: I definitely won't let you down.

~~~~~Back at the Césaire home~~~~~

Just as Scarabée returns, Jalil finishes working on Alya's hair.

Her hair was now in a cute curly left single tail.

Scarabée: You look incredible, Alya!

Alya: Thank you! I also think it's incredible.

Jalil: Nora taught me all that I know.

Ella and Etta, in unison: I want my hair done too!

Jalill: When these two left, we'll surprise them with the cutest hairstyles!

Ella and Etta: Yay!!!

Scarabée, reaching into her yo-yo: Your sister told me to tell you that she's on her way home *pulls out a shopping bag* and she hopes you and the girls enjoy these snacks *tosses the bag in his direction*

Jalil, catching the bag: I'll be sure to thank her later.

Scarabée: You ready to go, Alya?

Alya, grabbing onto Scarabée: Of course!

As Alya holds on to her, Scarabée leaves the Césaire home and begins to swing them both in the direction of their designated location.

~~~~~At the Louvre~~~~~

Meanwhile with Fred, he arrives at the Museum and seems confused to where the bus is.

Fred: Where are they? *runs up to Théo, who was passing out posters* Excuse me, you haven't seen a bus with that exact poster on it pull up here, have you?

Theo: *shakes his head*

This of course causes him to call Sara.

Sarah: *hears her cellphone ring*

Chris, sitting in the seat right behind hers: He's got some nerve calling now! I wouldn't give him the time of day if I were you.

Sarah, picking up her phone and answering it: What?

Fred: Sarah, where are you?

Sarah: We waited for you but you never came!

Fred: But I'm on time! In front of the Pyramid.

Sarah: What are you talking about?! Why would we be meeting there?!

Fred: I-i don't know the meeting place changed so suddenly-

Sarah: What- you know what? I'm not entertaining another excuse!

Fred: But Chris said-

Sarah: I don't care! It's not just this excuse, it's ALL of them! It's always an excuse!

Chris: *watches with a smile*

Sarah: Well, enough is enough! Chris will be the lead tonight at the premiere. At least I can count on him! *quickly hangs up and drops the phone onto the empty seat next to her.*

Fred feels upset that he's been tricked and his daughter will be disappointed in him.

Fred, beginning to cry: *takes off his hat and holds it to his chest* Mylène... I'm so sorry...

~~~~~In Hawkmoth's Lair~~~~~

Hawkmoth: Hmmmm... An actor who misses his own premiere. Now that's a tragedy. *readies the Akuma and releases it* Go my evil Akuma, let's hand this actor the role of a lifetime!

~~~~~Back at the Louvre~~~~~

Just as Scarabée lands on the opposite side of the Louvre's main entrance, the akuma entires the photo of Mylène that Fred was looking at through the tears in his eyes.

Hawkmoth: Mime. I am Hawkmoth. I am giving you the power to make whatever you gesture come to life. Destroy his premiere performance! You may be a Mime, but they can't silence you! However, in return you shall bring me Scarabée and Kitty Claws' Miraculouses. Shall we get on with the show?

Without saying a word, Fred is transformed into the Mime.

As Scarabée walks Alya towards the Louvre's main entrance only to see Mime slicing the posters with what seems like an invisible sword.

Scarabée, getting her yo-yo ready: Holy shit, an Akuma!

Alya, excitedly pulling her phone out of her hand bag: Holy shit, an Akuma!

Before Alya could start recording a video, Scarabée quickly picks up, runs into the Louvre and sits her down.

Scarabée: Tell your other friend not to leave no matter way!

Alya: Okay!

Scarabée: *runs out of the building*

After exiting the Louvre, Scarabée sees a cop car in mid air.

Scarabée, quickly jumping onto one of the two near by light poles near the Louvre: Can't leave these Akumas alone for five seconds!

She then immediately creates a net with her yo-yo before the car could hit the ground, saving Officer Raincomprix and the other cop.

Before the car could harshly land, Scarabée pulls her yo-yo back to her and launches it around the car while standing on one of the light poles she used to make the net and gently sits it on the ground.

After Scarabée pulls her yo-yo off of the cop car, the two Officers immediately get out of it, falling to their knees in the process.

Scarabée: Get outta here NOW!

After Roger and his fellow Officer ran off, Scarabée got a better look at today's Akuma.

Scarabée: Wait, that hat... MR. HAPRÈLE?!

The Mime then turns to her and readies an invisible bow and arrow.

After he launched it, Scarabée's barely able to dodge it.

She quickly looks at the hole that's now in the cop car window.

It barely missed her head.

Scarabée, internally: Hawkmoth better hope his address NEVER gets leaked!

The Mime then begins to shoot multiple invisible arrows at Scarabée, which she manages to dodge by back flipping and then using her yo-yo as a shield.

As Scarabée was dodging and blocking The Mine's attacks, a very familiar limousine was driving closer and closer to the danger.

Adrien sitting between Chloé and Sabrina, listens with the two as Nathalie talks with his father on her cellphone.

Nathalie, on the phone: Yes Sir, I'm sure he'll understand Sir.

Chloé, whispering: Are we surprised though?

Adrien, whispering as well: Nope, not one bit.

Nathalie, ending the call: You're father won't be able to make it-

Adrien: Who's shocked?

Chloé and Sabrina, in unison: No one.

Nathalie: He at least made sure to get the best seats for you and your friends in the front row.

Adrien: *rolls his eyes* The best money can buy...

Chloé: At least without him around we can go get some mille-feuille after the show!

Before the three of them could get excited about their trip after the play, Placide immediately stops the limousine as Scarabée lands feet first in front of it, continuing to use her yo-yo as a shield.

Scarabée, backing up towards the limousine window closest to her: Get out of there and find a place to hide now! I'll cover you-

Chloé then quickly rolls down the window and stares at Scarabée.

She immediately noticed her hair looking abit more messier than usual as well as a fresh cut on her cheek.

Despite seeming, Chloé couldn't help but admire her determination.

Chloé, internally: My Itty-Bitty's looking dangerous and hot without me?! Not gonna happen!

Without realizing it, Scarabée gets distracted herself.

Not only did she noticed what's visible of Chloé's gorgeous golden yellow drop waist dress and scarlet jewelry she chose to accessorize it with, but the scarlet red lipstick, earrings and gem encrusted hair scrunchie

Scarabée, internally: Damn...

After Adrien takes a quick picture of the two, The Mime immediately starts shooting invisible arrows again.

While Scarabée begins to cover the rich teens and their adult supervision, Placide pulls Nathalie out of the limousine with him, which caused Sabrina to repeat this action with both Adrien and Sabrina.

While running, Chloé managed to sneak away and hide as Placide and Nathaniel grabbed onto Adrien and Sabrina before running into the Louvre.

From where she's hiding, Chloé could see Scarabée continue to block and dodge the Akuma's seemingly long distance attacks.

Plagg, flying out of her purse: Are you gonna keep drooling or-

Chloé: Plagg, Claws Out-

Meanwhile The Mime continues to shoot his invincible arrows at Scarabée, until she manages to hurt his wrist.

He then begins to quickly put together what sounds like a bazooka.

Scarabée: Yeah not waiting for that to be shot at me *whispers* forgive me for this Mr. Haprèle...

Scarabée then uses her yo-yo to grab the limousine and throw it towards The Mime before he fires the bazooka, causing him to blow up the limousine instead of her.

When the smoke clears, Scarabée feels an invisible whip being wrapped around her.

Scarabée, struggling: Damnit!

Hawkmoth, communicating through The Mime: Grab her Miraculous! The Earrings, NOW!!

Before The Mime could pull Scarabée close enough to grab her earrings, Kitty Claws quickly extends her staff to painful push him away from her.

Kitty Claws: Hands off of Itty-Bitty! So what are we dealing with? Invisible Weapons?

Scarabée, smirking: Lucky guess.

Kitty Claws: I'm more than just a pretty face.

The two heroines then turn away from each other to face The Mime after hearing what sounded like a jail cell closing and then locking.

They launched their respective weapons towards them only for them to bounce off of invisible metal bar and back in front of them.

After the two heroines run up to the invisible bars and grab them, The Mime tips his hat to Scarabée and Kitty Claws before turning around and walking away from the two.

When The Mime starts an invisible car, the two heroines went from leaning against invisible bars to falling onto the ground.

Scarabée: When he started miming the car, the bars disappeared.

Kitty Claws: So if he starts another pantomime, the previous one will evaporate?

Scarabée: Yeah, which makes this abit easier for us!

The two then begin to follow The Mine's invisible Car.

After quickly catching up, Scarabée and Kitty Claws jumps on top of the invisible car.

Kitty Claws: For your sake I hope you didn't imagine a tacky car to drive.

The Mime begins to drive when faster, which causes Scarabée to need to hold onto Kitty Claws to keep herself from falling off.

With her arms around Kitty Claws' waist, she notices The Mime following a familiar bus.

Scarabée, still holding onto Kitty Claws tightly: He's one of the Actors from that Theater Troup and he's after that bus ahead.

After hearing Scarabée say this, The Mime jumps out of the still moving invisible car.

Scarabée: *watches The Mime* What the hell is he doing?! *let's go of Kitty Claws* We gotta stop this thing NOW *manages to get into the invisible car*

Kitty Claws: Let's hope you can reach the invisible breaks, Itty-Bitty~

Scarabée: No times for jokes KC.

Scarabée manages to stop the invisible car before it could hit a mother and her small son.

Scarabée quickly realized her hands were shaking slightly.

Despite this she manages to clam herself down abit as more people gathered around the invisible vehicle.

Kitty Claws: Great job drinking the invisible car, Itty-Bitty! If there weren't an Akuma nearby, I bet no one would believe this was real.

When The Mime starts his invincible motorcycle, Scarabée and Kitty Claws fall to the ground.

Scarabée: He already on the move we gotta hurry-

Before Scarabée could finish speaking, Kitty Claws picks her up with one hand, which causes the shorter heroine to automatically wrap her arms around the black heroine's neck and her legs around her waist.

Scarabée: What are you up to?

Kitty Claws: Just reminding you that it's great to have friends in high places, Itty-Bitty. Hold on!~

Kitty Claws with Scarabée holding onto her then extends her staff into the sky.

Scarabée: I could've done this myself you know.

Kitty Claws, smirking: Awwww but where's the fun in that?

Scarabée: *chuckles* Just get ready to stick the landing, KC.

Kitty Claws then uses her staff to land herself and Scarabée feet first onto the bus.

Kitty Claws: Where could the Akuma be?

Scarabée: *snaps her fingers* In his hat.

Kitty Claws: Oh, a literal lucky guess?

Scarabée: Just one of my hidden talents.

Scarabée uses her yo-yo to make a net.

He dodges the net and jumps on the bus.

The Mime then makes his invisible sword heard to the two heroines.

Scarabée: KC, I need a distraction.

Kitty Claws: On it!It!

Kitty Claws jumps off the bus and starts running on active cars until she's behind The Mime and jumps back onto the bus, readying her staff for battle.

While Kitty Claws and The Mime are fighting, Scarabée tries to get the hat off with her yo-yo, but he quickly notices.

The Mime grabs the yo-yo before it could touch the hat.

The Mime tries to pull Scarabée into an attack.

Kitty Claws: Don't even try it!

Kitty Claws get the Mime to release Scarabée's yo-yo by hitting his wrist with her staff so hard, he drops it.

She then uses her staff to hit him in the side of his stomach.

He almost falls off the bus but Scarabée grabs his wrist, which causes him to faceplate into a the window Chris was sitting by.

Chris, shocked and afraid: Fred?!

The Mime looks away from Chris and looks up at Scarabée.

Hawkmoth, communicating through The Mime: The Miraculous! Grab her earring!

He then tries to pull her down with him, but Kitty Claws pulls Scarabée back onto the bus.

Scarabée: KC, his hat! Grab it!

Kitty Claws, noticing The Mime holding something invisible: Look out!

Scarabée then barely dodges an invisible hammer.

This caused Scarabée to drop him and The Mime to fall onto a a moving car that began to immediately slow down.

He then uses an invisible chainsaw to get into the car and silently orders the terrified driver to follow the bus.

Scarabée, getting pulled back up by Kitty Claws: We gotta get all these passengers to safety NOW.

Kitty Claws, readying her staff: I'll cover you.

Scarabée: I'll try to hurry.

After knocking on the glass, Scarabée's immediately let in by the Bus Driver.

Scarabée: Stop the bus right now!

Sara, walking up to her: Scarabée? What's happening?!

Scarabée: One of your Actors has been akumatized and for some reason he seems to have it in for your troup!

Sarah, shocked: Fred?!

On top of the bus, The Mime begins to shoot invisible arrows at Kitty Claws, which she quickly blocks with her staff.

He then stops shooting at her and shoots one of the bus' wheels, making it go out of control.

Kitty Claws: Oh shit!

After noticing the two street lights quickly getting closer, Kitty Claws quickly runs across the bus, jumps in front of it, extends her staff, jumps in front of the bus while making sure it fits perfectly between the street lights.

After stopping the bus from crashing, Kitty Claws is launched forward but makes sure to land graceful.

Inside the now still bus, Scarabée manages to hide the mini panic attack she was having with stern face.

Scarabée: Stay inside and don't panic. We've got this under control.

Chris, hiding behind his seat: Scarabée, I know why he's after us. I took his role from him. He can perform instead of me, I can't care, just please keep us all safe!

Sarah: What do you mean you took his role from him? He lost it!

Chris: Not exactly... there's something I am to tell you.

After Chris reveals the truth, The Mime then jumps from car to car, jumps onto the bus, and launches himself at Kitty Claws.

Scarabée, running off of the bus: I'm coming KC!

He quickly swings graceful yet furiously at Kitty Claws until he knocks her staff out of her hand and slams her to the ground by her neck.

Scarabée is just about the reach them both until The Mime pulls an invisible sword on her.

Hawkmoth, communicating through The Mime: Her Miraculous is within reach! I want her ring!

The Mime then let's go of Kitty Claws' neck to grab her.

But before he could do so, Scarabée uses her yo-yo to grab his hand that is now free of invisible weapons and pulls it in her direction.

Scarabée: What Fred did was absolutely shitty, but I know you wouldn't want your daughter to see you like this!

After Scarabée then pulls him away from Kitty Claws and towards herself, The Mime once again creates an invisible sword.

After seeing Scarabée dodge his unseen blade quickly and Kitty Claws being on her feet again, The Mime creates an invisible bomb and throws it at the two.

Which had them both on the ground.

Kitty Claws, furious and shocked: A BOMB?! SERIOUSLY?!

Scarabée: Lucky Charm!

Scarabée uses her Lucky Charm and a shoe box appears.

Kitty Claws: A shoe box? Itty-Bitty if you wanted me to take you out shoe shopping, there's a time and place-

Before Kitty Claws could finish speaking, The Mime rushing at her with yet another invisible sword, forcing her into another one on one fight.

Scarabée then uses her Lucky Vision while Kitty Claws and The Mime continue to fight.

Scarabée: I got it. We gotta make even more angry, KC!

Kitty Claws, dodging the invisible blade: Is that even possible?!

Scarabée: That depends, how good are you at being a pain in the ass?

Kitty Claws: I will not knowledge that question with an answer.

Scarabée: Just keep him busy and angry.

With the lucky box now with a hole in it, Sarah's glasses as a magnifying glass, a Mime poster, and a car's light, Scarabée creates a protector.

She flashes the protector onto the Eiffel Tower.

Scarabée: Hey Mime! Cool poster! Don't you agree?!

Fueled by anger, The Mime doesn't hesitate to cut the "poster" in half with an invisible sword.

But that's before he realizes that he had sliced the Eiffel Tower in half.

Before the Eiffel Tower could hit the ground, The Mime creates an invisible shield, holding it up and protecting under it.

Scarabée: He can only mime one thing at a time.

Kitty Claws: Now he's cornered! My Itty-Bitty has the biggest brain!

Kitty Claws then extends her staff to grab the hat and pull it towards them.

Scarabée then takes out the picture of Mylène, rips it in half, frees the akuma, purifies it, releases it, and uses her Miraculous Cure to fix everything.

When Fred's turned back to normal, Kitty Claws pulls Scarabée into another Victory Selfie.

Fred: What happened? How did I get here?

Sarah, walking up to him with Chris behind her: I'm so sorry I didn't believe you, Fred.

Chris: I'm sorry too. I was so desperate to perform that I lied to you about where we were meeting up.

Fred: I forgive you.

Sarah: But lying to perform will NOT go unpunished. You won't be performing today, Chris!

Chris: That's fair... when I get the part next time, it won't be through lies and slimy tricks.

Fred: We'll all be looking forward to it.

Kitty Claws then begins to hear Scarabée's earrings beep.

Kitty Claws: Itty-Bitty, your earrings.

Scarabée: I better get going!

Kitty Claws, playfully pouting: Oh really? That's a shame! I would've loved to be your date for the play tonight.

Scarabée: *rolls her eyes* Thanks KC, but I got other plans.

Kitty Claws watches longingly as Scarabée swings away.

~~~~~In Hawkmoth's Lair~~~~~

Hawkmoth: The show's not over yet, Scarabée and Kitty Claws. You just wait, there's still a last act to come.

~~~~~Out of the Louvre~~~~~

Alim, Nathaniel, and Alya were anxiously waiting for Alya to show up or call when Alix comes running up to them with two shopping bags.

Alix: Sorry I'm late, I got caught up in the fighting with other people-

Nathaniel and Alya, running towards: ALIX!! *hugs her*

Alim: Now I am a valid reason to wait in the car until the play's over.

Alix: Aside from witnessing a couple of near car crashes I'm fine-

Alim and Nathaniel, shocked: YOU WHAT?!

Alix: It's okay! Scarabée and Kitty Claws were there to stop them. Can we please go now? I really wanna see the looks on Marinette and Mylène's faces when they see us there.

Alim: Alight, let's go.

After they all into the limousine and drove off, Kitty Claws detransforms back into Chloé and goes into the Louvre to see Adrien Sabrina Nathalie and Placide all frantically looking for her.

Adrien and Sabrina are the first one's to notice her.

Adrien and Sabrina, running up to Chloé: CHLOÉ YOU'RE OKAY!! *hugs her tightly*

Chloé: I'm fine you guys! No one called my dad, right?

Nathalie: No, but Placide came close a few times.

Chloé: Now that the Star is here, can we please go to the play?

Nathalie: The backup limousine's outfit now.

~~~~~At The Eiffel Tower~~~~~

Marinette and Mylène were sitting down in their seats waiting for the show to begin.

When three familiar faces walk up to them.

Alix, with Nathaniel and Alya behind: Surprise!

Marinette, excitedly: Oh my goodness!!!

Mylène: You three look amazing!

Alya: So do you two!

Nathaniel: For the record, this being a surprise was Alix's idea!

Alix, grinning: No regrets!

With Mylène in the end seat, Alya sets next to Marinette, Nathaniel sits next to Alya, and Alix sits next to Nathaniel.

That leaves three empty seats to the left.

After about fifteen minutes of talking about how the play could go, Chloé Sabrina and Adrien walk up to the three empty seats.

Chloé, smirking: Well, well, well! Look who all learned how to dress for tonight. Make sure you're home before those riches turn back to rags~

Nathaniel, Alya, Marinette, and Mylène either groaned, rolled their eyes, or did both.

Adrien, groaning: Don't do this now! We're here to watch the play.

Alix: Listen to Princey, Witchy. We're all just here to enjoy ourselves. In other words, you try to ruin this for us, I will personally make sure this ruin for you as well. Got it?

Without saying a thing, Chloé sits in the empty seat next to Alix.

Sabrina sits next to her and Adrien sits in the end seat.

As the play begins, Chloé couldn't help be steal glances at Alix from time to time.

Sabrina, smirking: *whispers* I take it that switching seats is outta the question?

Chloé, whispering: Shut up!

Little did Chloé know, Alix was stealing glances at her as well.

funny that she would say "Tell me something about Dean. You can't, can you? He had no backstory," when Dean gets the most characterization out of all the Gryffindors (minus the trio + Neville). we don't know much about Seamus, besides that he loves Quidditch, that he isn't brilliant at school, that his mom is annoying and that he seems to like confrontation. that's very basic info. we don't know much about Parvati and Lavender besides that they are pretty girly, love divination, are interested in boys (and that Lavender had a bunny). i don't think we know much about both of them individually either (but that's okay because they are kind of like a codependent female duo, every school has those). but DEAN? he loves football, he is a good drawer, he is good at quidditch, but he is also a fierce fighter and has no hesitation standing up to people like Umbridge when she insults Lupin. like, come on, there is a reason why ginny choses to date him and there's a reason why Harry hates him so much -- Dean is the archetype of the nice, popular boy made up in a lab for Harry to be jealous about! he is the Gryffindor version of Cedric, in that sense. "We don't know much about Dean" he literally gets more "screentime" than every other Gryffindor (minus the trio + Neville). Dean was in the Malfoy's manor. Dean was on the run with the goblins and Ted in DH, we literally get a scene where the trio overhears him and it's such a poignant and moving scene!! Dean was at Bill and Fleur's cottage. Dean was Ginny's boyfriend. Dean was on the Quidditch team. Dean was in the AD. Dean was literally the most relevant secondary character in ootp, hbp and dh (as far as the Gryffindors are concerned). Not to mention that he has a fully fleshed out backstory - his dad was killed for refusing to join Voldemort and Dean was raised thinking he was a muggle but he finds out it's not true (we actually do get to hear some echo of this backstory in that DH scene when the trio overhears him talking to the goblins and Ted).

"He had no backstory, I don't think we even met his parents, he was just "Seamus' nicer friend"." this is projection. this is not how Dean is treated in canon, but this is how Dean is treated by the fandom. the fandom constantly overlooks Dean and ruined his characterization to make him look like Seamus' nice friend when he actually has a personality of his own and is more interesting as a character than Seamus. now, as a former Popular Deamus Blogger, i can tell you the reasons why the fandom prefers seamus over dean sooo much is a bit suspicious but i don't want to wave around the racism allegations.... but they do constantly uwu-ify Dean and reduce him to Seamus' friend while Seamus receives significantly more attention from the fandom. canon doesn't justify this, if we were to follow canon, then Dean would be the one getting more attention and fanfictions than Seamus. (Dean also has great potential for fanfictions as you can also ship him with Luna) Anyway, all this to say that this woman probably forgot all about the books and is going on a whim about fanon characterization. I'm mad she turned off reblogs because I was ready to go out of my HP blogging retirement to defend my lord and savior Dean Thomas, the best background character in HP

Girl!! In the name of all Rowlingblr, i would like to appoint you head of the Dean Thomas fanclub. That was some good fangirling.

I didn't know that Dean was currently or in some fandom spaces LESS popular than Seamus. I always thought the opposite was true! Seamus is kind of annoying and confrontational in canon. Dean is way cooler and could have been the hero of his own story. Dean x Luna had its hour of glory circa 2007 (post DH release), it was definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.

I think people who get all up Jo's ass about Lavender and Parvati being kind of vapid and annoying need to take a chill pill. It's not like they're on Pansy's level of mean and hateful, they're just not heroines. God forbid a story imply that focusing on gossip, fashion and horoscopes might not make you a role model.

[daswarschonkaputt]

so a few select people know that i've been working on these bad boys for a few weeks now. this collection started because @mortimerlatrice had the audacity to try and tell me that fem!kinn wouldn't wear skirts and dresses and i pretty much broke my tablet pen in the rush to prove her wrong. also i felt like redesigning my fem!kinn and fem!porsche ideas. beneath the cut are my thoughts on these outfits plus the fashion collections they're inspired by/referencing.

fem!kinn businesswear looks

fem!kinn i feel like is the type of person who weaponises her gender expression. every part of how she presents herself is a carefully cultivated power play. she smokes cigars and drinks scotch and can talk at length about stocks and cryptocurrency, but she wears high heels even though she had to teach herself how to run in them, has long hair even though styling it is a nightmare, and is never seen without make-up, because every part of her must straddle a line of being masculine enough to be respected without being dismissed as butch, or a transgressor of gender norms. so: power suits and heels.

most of these are just riffs on the show's suits, so no real reference images, though hilarious @elnotwoods and i managed to parallel brain the exact same corset + suit look bc we are bloggers of TASTE.

fem!kinn occasionwear looks

the product launch -- upon rewatching clips from this episode i realised that the product launch apparently has a roaring 20s theme? which be wildin'. i spent so long looking at pictures of 20s style dresses until i found eliza jane howell who is a tiny british designer who has an entire collection of 20s inspired gowns. the inspo for kinn's dress was the miranda dress from her eveningwear collection.

the diamond auction -- i've drawn fem!kinn in this dress before, and i stand by it. this is a dress from ralph and russo's fall 2015 couture collection, specifically look 12. i first saw this dress months ago when i was looking for clothes for a project i was working on and it's lived in my brain rent free since.

date night i and date night ii -- both of these dresses i saw on pinterest somewhere and forget to save the link bc when i do art i usually have abt 50 billion tabs open. (i make firefox weep each time i open a new one.)

looks that almost made it in: michael cors rtw fall 2022 look 24; and schiaparelli couture spring 2022 look 24.

fem!kinn misc looks

okay so the theme for this one was actually "iconic kinn looks" and you know what? the towel was iconic. there i said it.

the sleepwear look -- *cries in detail work* yes all that lace is hand-drawn YES MY WRIST ACHED SO BAD AFTER FINISHING IT, this one is just conjured out of my head, no inspo look

the suspenders -- real ones know which kinn look this one is based off. just google kinn in suspenders or something i guess because we were ROBBED that it wasn't in the show. ROBBED.

the towel -- since drawing it multiple ppl have told me that they think fem!kinn would just wear the towel on her hips, tits out, no shame, and they are all so valid.

family portrait -- when i was drawing this, i got sent a look by siv that i initially discounted because it was a skirt suit and fem!kinn all about those power suits. and then i was looking for thai designers and i saw the same look and i was like, "okay but she'd only wear this in a family portrait," and then i was like hhrrrrnngngn family portrait outfits for all of them, so now it's a category. this is a recoloured version of poem bangkok's fall 2022 rtw collection look 19.

fem!porsche "pre-kinn" looks

okay so my thoughts on fem!porsche are as someone for whom gender is almost an afterthought, whose main friends are all guys, who drinks bear and kicks ass and cuts her own hair whenever it gets too annoying, who buys male toilettries because they're cheaper, who's made a career out of being rich girl's experimental whirl into lesbianism, and who can get them off real easy but isn't so good at getting herself off. she's hooked up with her fair share of guys, and considers herself more of a male-leaning bisexual. like, girls are fun and all, but she tends to have a better time when she hooks up with guys. (kinn's gonna blow that out of the water, hahaha.)

the fighter outfit -- originally this was going to be just a sports bra + jeans, but then i saw a pic of a cropped hoodie and my brain just sort of blanked out and when i was done the art was finished. porsche's abs are very important to me. as are her arms. and her thighs. she's an itty bitty titty committee member tho and i stand by that.

the bartender outfit -- i've drawn this one before, but yes! all the buttons undone! cheapest black shirt and slacks! converse!!! YESS

the casual outfit -- bike shorts, big t, big shirt? yes. fem!porsche sits somewhere between jock and gonna-fix-your-appliances on a fashion basis and i am here for it.

fem-porsche "kinn era" looks

one of the big ideas i had going into this project was the idea that porsche feels divorced from her femininity in a way that she's not altogether satisfied with and that kinn helps her reconnect with it. because, like, let's be real: porsche has no major feminine influences in her life growing up, and she's literally always got bigger concerns. she defo plays up the idea that she's above it all, whilst also completely lost as to how to get to there. kinn is probably both an object of envy and attraction for her.

(also i have in my head that the sauna conversation goes something like: porsche: do you have a boyfriend, then? kinn: i've never once found a man that truly wants a powerful woman. porsche: huh, that's weird. i've had no trouble finding guys who want me to hold the up against a wall.)

anyway it's important to me that kinn makes porsche feel dainty and feminine.

the bodyguard look -- hrrrrngngng waist. that is all.

clubbing with tankhun -- you know how i said somewhere between jock and owns a monkey wrench? meet porsche out clubbing. love it for her.

first public date with kinn -- so the background i had imagined for this outfit was that porsche and kinn are going public, and kinn sends her a box with a dress to wear plus heels, only porsche can literally not stand for more than two seconds in the heels and hates them, so she wears her converse instead. this is almost a direct copy of look 12 from monse's spring 2021 rtw collection.

black tie date with kinn -- obvs this is a dress that kinn picked out for her, so i thought long and hard about what kinn would choose. in the end, i figured kinn would probably want her to look regal. i looked at so many dresses for this one, esp bc there was a secret requirement where i wanted the skirt to be loose enough that kinn could eat her out in it. look, i just think it would be gender if kinn dressed porsche up in this dress and porsche felt all pretty and feminine and then kinn ate her out in the bathroom at the event or something. you know. girl things. this dress is look 6 from valdrin sahiti's spring 2022 bridal collection and i had to download a pdf to get a reference picture, so appreciate my work. also shoutout literally the only time porsche is wearing heels. kinn had to give her like three hours of walking lessons.

fem!porsche minor family head looks

michael kors collection saved my bacon here. i really struggled to figure out what fem!porsche's overall aesthetic would be for her minor family head position. i wanted something distinct from kinn, but didn't think she'd go full androgyny. in the end i settled on a well-tailored suits with a military flare in their cut.

first business look -- this one is based on look 19 from michael kors collection's fall 2022 rtw collection. dem arms.

second business look -- same song, different verse. same collection, but look 7. the thigh-high boots were added by me, though. i wasn't drawing lesbian kinnporsche without putting one of them in thigh-high boots.

visiting mum -- a couple of things. this one is based on this photo i found on pinterest, because i just really liked the neckline. details you might miss: this is arguably porsche's most femme outfit here, but she doesn't have the perfectly styled hair that she has when she's on mafia business, and she's still wearing her ratty beat-up converse. she's feminine, but trying to be authentic. it's a specific kind of messaging she's trying to get across to her mum. she probably agonised for hours over what to wear. kinn definitely really likes her in it.

family portrait -- again, plucked from my own imagination. the original inspiration for this look was look 9 from altuzarra pre-fall 2020 but if you click that link you'll probably be able to tell i went completely off-script. the more i drew it, basically, the more the altuzarra look looked too japanese, which is understandable, because that collection's whole thing was about blending modern and traditional japanese fashion. in the end, i pivoted, and brought it more in line with kinn's look, because i really did want them to have similar vibes. (couples outfits? couples outfits!!)

near misses -- these ones almost ended up involved: altuzarra pre-fall 2020 look 6 for the family portrait; michael kors fall 2020 look 60 also for the family portrait; michael kors fall 2020 look 30 for minor family mafia business; look 17 from alexander mcqueen's 2011 pre-fall collection also for mafia business; this look from pinterest for mafia business that got discounted bc i was going in a different direction; and this dress from rouba.g's spring 2019 rtw collection for the black tie dress which literally only avoided inclusion here because i couldn't make the sheer fabric look right.

anyway the takeaway here is don't get into an argument with me because i will bring receipts. mort learned their lesson, don't worry.

also @yeetlegay i gave you adequate warning. you knew it was coming.

[wispforever]

naruto 6 and 13 pls!

Hi, cowboy :) thanks for the ask

6. Which ship fans are the most annoying?

I block anyone I find annoying, so the fact that I'm actually able to think of several groups of people kind of blows my mind lol. First would be the fans who take shipping way too seriously. They hate on other people for deviating from their version of canon, start insane discourse, sometimes even harass creators of the show, etc. Idk if I even have to explain why that pisses me off. It's just in really bad taste. Quit bothering people. Fandom is for enjoyment, don't spend your fandom time telling people how much you hate them or why they're wrong. Chill tf out

Then are the fans who don't participate in shipping (this is the okay part) and THEN talk about how stupid shipping is and how inherently annoying it is. People are entitled to their opinions obviously. I understand (especially as an aroace person) how shipping can be reductive and how people get obsessed. But at some point you have to take responsibility for curating your own experience. Don't like shipping? That's great. Block everyone who posts ship and only follow people who don't. Problem solved. Don't whine about how annoying shipping is IN THE SHIPPING TAG. Just fucking braindead, I can't

In the naruto fandom specifically, I think the shipping that pisses me off the most are the above types of bloggers, as well as people who ship things I find personally repulsive. Like *nc*st or p*do shit. Lots of that in the naruto fandom unfortunately.

13. Worst blorboficiation?

The most impossible naruto question challenge LMAO where do I even fucking start. This fandom beats the absolute shit out of good characters at the drop of a hat. Some of it is fine, I get it, I'm guilty of it, but other times it's hugely reductive. If character assassination were a crime punishable by death, I fear we tumblrinas would be having this conversation while we waited in line for the electric chair.

There are lots of characters I see blorbofied beyond recognition: Madara, Hashirama, Kakashi, Gai, Lee, Tsunade, Obito, literally anyone in the Akatsuki- I could go on and on. I think though, the one who sticks out to me is definitely Itachi. I see SOOOO many depictions of wet, crying, pitiful Itachi when he gives absolutely no hint of any of that on screen. Am I saying he doesn't cry? Doesn't feel? Absolutely not. But there's a thousand different ways to make a character emotional. I barely ever see in character portrayals of Itachi, in my opinion, especially when delving into who he is behind closed doors, what he thinks about his clan/upbringing, how he feels about Sasuke and the massacre he committed. I could mop the floor with him he is so sopping wet in all of this fanart. It drives me up the fucking wall. I've written a lot of detailed notes analyzing his character, and I myself appreciate how he was a victim (along with many other things), but most of the time I feel people stop at just the victim part. Idk why they want him to cry so bad. Idk what makes them think HE would think he deserves to grieve or be forgiven. Idk why they oversimplify his motives or make him out like he doesn't understand what he did and why. makes me actually insane. ffs there are beautiful flawed characters here with winding, painful, morally grey journeys. appreciate the nuance jesussss if i see one more big doe-eyed teared up itachi sniveling to kisame i'm going to be on the news

[gorgeouslypink]

I'm tired of telling myself that everything is fine when it's not. You all say we are gods of our reality but things that I don't want to happen still happen. Y'all also say that by affirming and without taking any action you can have a dream life but is it all true?? maybe it's a big fucking joke. I affirm like a fool and I keep repeating the same thing to myself and I'm still stuck in this reality trap.

Every blogger repeats exactly the same thing and no matter what I do, I don't see any change. I know i should 'live in imagination' but 3D is reality where i am living, breathing and experiencing and it's not easy to fucking ignore that shit. I thought that manifestation would be a way out of my nightmare life and I would finally be able to live and it's even worse because I feel like I'm lying to myself that I can have everything I want without moving my hand.

I'm writing this because i'm just tired and annoying how y'all repeating over and over that we are gods but when i'm feel like god of my reality and i have good mindset nothing, NOTHING changes and everything still stays the same since i've learned about manifestation.

"Man has always blamed others for that which he is and will continue to do so until he finds himself as the cause of all. “I AM” comes not to destroy but to fulfill. “I AM,” the awareness within you, destroys nothing but ever fills full the molds or conceptions one has of oneself."

-Neville Goddard, At Your Command

I have been ignoring this ask because it's honestly very rude. I understand you're frustrated but that doesn't give you the right to take it out and blame others. If LOA is not working out for you, then use one of my non-LOA methods. I have so many and I have always said that it's okay if you don't want to follow LOA. So I don't think you coming for me for being "annoying" and pushing LOA is warranted. I hope you realize that you DO NOT have a good mindset. You have a horrible victim mindset. You are blaming your life on LOA and bloggers when LOA is not even necessary and if you were doing LOA correctly, you wouldn't even send an ask like this in the first place. Just do a method like the recliner chair method or this shifting hypnosis. I wish you the best and I hope you can overcome your victim mentality.

[feyreandhercourt]

My thoughts on HOFAS, ft. SPOILERS

Overall, I will say I think this was a very well "written" book craft-wise. Like better than HOSAB and ACOSF, imo.

Okay Bryce telling Hunt “thinking about you getting tortured was hard for me!!!” was a… choice. If fated mates could divorce, I’d be filing

Honestly all around. They are my least favorite but before I attributed it to just not being into Hunt. But honestly they just seemed to be on different pages.

Where was Fury?????????????????????

Okay the hand thing was brutal but well played

Lidia was great. Also I recognized the Brann thing when he was introduced and was very proud of myself because I never make the connections lol

But I did think he might be like OG Brannon… the fact he’s not still has me interested

The bonus chapters were decent generally. Az and Nesta were likeable in them which makes me hopeful because Az’s LAST bonus chapter was Not A Good Look (tm)

Tell me how Feyre beat the Midgardden wyrm or whatever with a bone and yet Az and Nesta couldn’t. Nothing but respect for MY high lady

Speaking of, Theia really went the tradwife route and said no more high ladies tee hee only men should rule, huh?

Did Sigfrid or whatever even matter?

Ariadne felt like the opposite of Chekov’s gun. You have a DRAGON and a lot of fire and girlie is MIA

Ithan becoming Prime when the boy has zero main character energy was… meh.

Getting their powers back was AWESOME though am I forgetting something or did that not happen to Bryce? It felt like a copout but maybe I missed it?

The Theia/Silene reveals were interesting but lmao Nesta and Bryce kept talking shit during them which was both funny and just… repetitive

Bryce seemed to CONSTANTLY making inappropriate wisecracks. Like I don’t mean with the king but like when Lydia’s sons were captured or whatever??? not necessarily that but similar. Like girl there are times to be serious.

Ruhb SHOOTING LYDIA IN THE LEG while they are in enemy territory was one of the DUMBEST things going. But ya know what I need a couple to root for and Juniper/Lydia had no page time so they get a pass

Um. So we’re just not gonna address the Rhys/Ruhn twinsie connection?????

Tharion really made the bold choice to just… exist.

Also not the book’s fault but the video thing lmao would SO be disbelieved with where AI is today and that was all I could think when they released it

The Urd/Wyrd thing was a facepalmer that I liked

Wehb ACOWARA came out, a blogger (who posts great takes) was annoyed Feyre reused the starfall dress because that was a major royalty faux pas. That’s how I felt when Bryce used the mask.

People said things felt “too easy” but I don’t think that was an issue. Like QOS was “easier” but it’s one of the most beloved SJM books. I think the real issue is people didn’t feel connected and SJM had a few too many instances of explicitly saying “they didn’t know what they were doing but they did it by instinct”

GIVE ME MY FIRE BREATHING BITCH QUEEN WITH HER POWERS BACK PLEASE

SJM is 100000% going to write another TOG book and I am so ready. Those do. Not. Miss.

As ever, (and I had the same issue with Marvel) the issue with these multiverse things for me personally is I read some really fantastic theories that make a TON of sense, get excited for them, and then when they’re either not present or not present but with no explanation or a worse one, I wind up disappointed.

I’d say this is my second favorite CC book. I did think it was well-written though. And I know some were upset not to have ACOTAR POVs (okay me too lol) but I do think it makes sense to keep it as Bryce’s book. Except it’s more “Bryce and Friends” than Bryce.

[puckpocketed]

on the topic of mutuals actually ! (+ my thoughts on blocking) long and winding non essay under the cut.

mutualism and friendship

it's come up semi-regularly in conversation in the past month-ish and i've been marinating on it so I guess I should write my thoughts down here.

i'm sure this isn't a groundbreaking brainwave no one has ever had before but uh . i think this is probably a product of having grown up with very little social media but i just dont particularly care for the concept of mutuals. i dont think about it. i think of people on here as friends first and mutuals second. "mutuals" is barely meaningful to me as a label other than shorthand for friends, and even then it is rendered useless by the fact that I think of some non-mutuals as friends.

idc if you follow my blog back, if we're regularly interacting and having fun then we are friends regardless of mutual status. the focus on "being mutuals" is, to me, a little impractical (and sidebar,, honestly its kinda crazy how divorced it is from the real human phenomenon of connection and friendship. hello!!!!! why we letting social media button supplant friendship and connection. not to be Old Man Yells at Clouds but what are we doing raising this generation to think about being mutuals and commenting/liking posts as some friendship obligation, on the same level as smiling at them or laughing with them. hello. what are we doing giving them anxiety about whether or not enough people liked their posts. what are we doing???? does someone wanna talk about this with me because it eats me up lmao)

I'd rather people follow me because they, idk, enjoy the little character bits i do + my unhinged liveblogging + occasional gifs and baking - rather than out of some obligation because we are friendly. don't put yourself through the ordeal of being flooded by sharks magma whenever they play a game just because we're friends LMAO i wouldn't do that for anyone if the situation were reversed !!

^on this topic, if I don't follow you back it doesn't mean I don't like you, I might simply not vibe with your blog. the decision to follow is not predicated on whether or not we have good rapport. it's literally just choosing to see your blog on my feeds. speaking as someone who has done a fair bit of leg work to curate my internet experience, following/not following is part of that. and I think of other people's choices this way as well. i think not vibing with my blog is fine! it is incredibly scattered and the content is NOT for everyone and that's okay.

on blocking

blocking simply aint that big to me. I don't take it seriously or personally if i somehow realise I've been blocked, and blocking others isn't personal for me either. to me it is, again, simply an act of dashboard curation. I think i'd be way more anxious if i thought about blocking in terms of liking/hating.

I block people for all sorts of reasons, silly or serious. Sometimes i'm just annoyed that day, sometimes they say stuff that is deeply offensive to me. There's a whole spectrum of feelings about the blogs subject to my blocking habits that fall between the two extremes. at the core of it, it's about not wanting to see them in my feeds. simple as that.

(by the by, I block from my main blog and not my side blog, so people can still see things from puckpocketed if they want, and I don't have to see them! WIN-WIN!)

blog =/= blogger. I try to keep this distinction clear in my head. when a person makes a post on their blog and I have a problem with it, whether it annoys me mildly (stupid rude shit on my posts) or genuinely offends me to my core (racism or something), blocking them is not about saying "fuck you". it is not the "I have moral highground" button. not to me.

everything falls under this umbrella: racism, misogyny, completely out of pocket comments on my posts, being mildly annoying. Blocking isn't personal because I don't actually know anyone well enough to hate them, and the act of curating my feeds ain't praxis. blogging isn't praxis. I have bigger fish to fry so to speak. I have a real life and people to care for and communities to build. I have poetry to read and dogs to say hello to. i got a whole life to live!

the content of someone's blog is a TINY portion of who they are when weighed against the rest of their existence. it is but a sliver of their life and their personhood. I see it like this: wouldn't like it very much if someone made sweeping conclusions about my personhood based on my blog posts, and so I try not to do that either. key word is try. I don't always succeed and I think that's okay. we are all doing what we can on this bitch of an earth <3 what is most important is I'm trying to give people the grace I'd want for myself. like . shit. isn't that what its all about?? (mini confessional: I was a mean and angry person for a long time. in some ways i still feel like i am. but learning kindness by studying it instead of having it baked into my brain chemistry or however the fuck other people get it has taught me that we have to try)

anyway if u are still reading this hiii!!! I'd say sorry i just wanted to put my thoughts somewhere but . well. its MY blog and i get to paste weird magazine cutouts and glitter to my walls if i wanna !!! thank u for ur time
