Lucifer can abandon his child in her formative years and then come back and sing a song and BE FORGIVEN by the whole fandom but gods Forbid that Lilith left to do her shady business after she RISED CHARLIE(and it s fucking implied that Lilith was the one to tell Charlie GOOD stories about her dad, fuck off, go watch the show again she did not try to separate the two)
I understand he was in no way fit to rise a child but you can't keep putting Lucifer on a pedestal while demonising Lilith

Oh ya it looks so good and I like Greta Gerwigs other movies so I'm sure I'll like this one too! I remember seeing the metaphor of it being about growing up and no longer living in a dream Barbie world anymore and I find that so interesting. I'm also such an all pink everything kind of girl too and maybe I'll try to see it sometime this week. It definitely seems like my kind of movie!
I was so bummed about Les Mis. Thank you for keeping fingers crossed for me and we will just have to see! I'll have to keep in mind what you said about this cast. That's so cool you were named after it! Yes I had been reblogging some of your old posts and edits of this show cuz I was excited but I will post the rest eventually hopefully if I see it!
Unfortunately the Paramore show got canceled tonight..and I was just about to get tickets from someone..or possibly pay at the box office and leave to go drive there lol. They postponed it though so we will see if the other day works out..and if I can get tickets..which is like next week.
Ahh I hope you are having such a great time at the show right now and get really good surprise songs that you want! I'm eager to hear how the show is! I'm going on Friday!
hi friend!! so sorry for the late reply 🤍 i was at eras (!!!!!!) have you seen barbie yet? i can't wait to hear your thoughts! i think my greta gerwig ranking is little women, barbie then lady bird — i might need to rewatch lady bird; i procrastinated on watching it, and everyone was like "oh you're going to relate so much to [x/y/z]" and i think my expectations were just a little too high! it was really, really special walking around downtown this weekend because everyone was either in eras outfits/taylor merch or in pink. i haven't been this extroverted in a while (i am a lot more extroverted online than i am in person; a lot of that is probably a result of the pandemic) and it was just so so fun!
i really hope you get to see les mis soon 🤍 i saw that paramore's concerts got cancelled / rescheduled for the next few stops — i hope you're able to make the new date (and i hope everyone who is ill recovers quickly). one of my friends flew to seattle for eras and also paramore and i felt so bad when i had to break the news to her that paramore cancelled :(
i had the best time at eras, but i am so, so so so tired (part of that is i was sleeping on a friend's couch and i am pretty allergic* to her cats — less so now that i'm in the process of doing allergy shots, i think, part of it is just that i got maybe eight hours of sleep across three days). and i got such good surprise songs — my friends and i did our own version of swiftball, and we were manifesting so hard for a rep song (one of my friends is a BIG rep girlie) and a debut song for me and @placeinthisworld (i was personally manifesting hard for ttwas or the outside) as well as the green dress and we got all of that!! and singing long live with your best friends is so special. i also got to hear marjorie in the stadium that was like, a ten minute walk from where my grandmother used to live, and that was something that was very special for me (a different kind of special). the surprise songs were everything to me; i'm just so so so happy. everything about this weekend was perfect. if you have any questions about eras or anything let me know 🤍 i'm SO excited for your show!! i can't wait to see what songs you get — are there any specific ones you're hoping for?

been reading a lot of unpopular opinions so I’m gonna add my own
This is mainly about KPOP since that’s the thing I have the most to talk about at the moment. While I’m not dishing out direct shade like “So-and-so is a hoe”, some opinions might be a bit controversial but I’m being 100% honest. If you have any questions and/or comments, just message me and if you’re mature about it, I’ll gladly reply.
Idols need to be treated like people, especially from the fans that are supposed to support them.
What really pisses me off is when a fanbase turn against an idol or group over something trivial and stupid such as someone’s bias is in a relationship, that an idol smoked weed once, an idol is part of the LGBT community or whatever. Point is, that’s their life. Nobody’s perfect and there’s a good chance you never had even the slightest bit of a chance to be with your bias. Thinking an idol has to be this perfect angel who’s saving themself for you is childish at best and completely selfish at worst. Another example is the whole Bambam/Wakanda salute scandal. I personally don’t understand that. Granted, I’m white. But still, if someone can please explain to me why only black people can do the salute from a movie, that would be appreciated. Anyway, back to what I was saying. As long as the idol in question isn’t hurting themselves or the people around them, then let them be themselves. The image their company promotes them as is only that, an image, a facade. On that note, people who are rude and act entitled towards kpop idols are assholes and nobody can tell me otherwise. You all need to chill the fuck out.
Fanwars are just a childish waste of time and effort.
“X is better than Y!” “No! Y is better than X!” How old do these two people sound? This type of conversation belongs on a playground. Everyone is allowed to like who they like and dislike who they dislike. You can still get along. My friend likes Seventeen and I’m not a fan of their music, but I like EXO and they don’t. Does that mean we’re now sworn enemies and have to have a debate every time we see each other? No, we just talk about the groups we both like or we let each other talk about one group’s updates and just say “oh, neat”. That’s it. Simple. Welcome to adulthood.
Nobody gives a shit if you’re an ARMY, stop commenting “ARMY here” or “Stan BTS” on everything, kpop related content or not.
It’s annoying as fuck. I could read the comment section of something that has nothing to do with kpop,nor  South Korea and especially nothing to do with BTS and at least 25% of the comments are “ARMY here, gotta talk about BTS cuz god forbid people forget that one of the most famous kpop groups exists for a minute!” This is why people think ARMYs are annoying children. It needs to stop. Yes, I ignore them plenty of times but seriously, is stating that you’re an ARMY in a buzzfeed unsolved comment section really necessary? I mean come on. If anything, you’re discouraging people from even checking out kpop, since you give us all a bad rep.
If you ask where your bias is on vlive, you’re an entitled asshole and need to stop.
Combining my points about annoying fans and rudeness, you CHOSE to watch that vlive, if your bias isn’t there, they’re not there. Stop asking the idols there where their bandmates are, they probably don’t even know and it’s rude as fuck. Just watch a different vlive or go on Tumblr and look up #yourbias’name on Tumblr or Instagram or whatever. Simple as that. It’s like your friends skyping you but asking to see your sibling or partner instead.
Idols don’t HAVE to learn English.
Would it be convenient if they did? Yes, as an american who doesn’t speak Korean, English speaking idols would be great. But that’s the idol’s choice. While I am grateful for the idols that took the time to learn an admittedly difficult language, if I would need google translate to talk to my bias, should we ever meet, then that’s perfectly fine. I can watch their interviews with subtitles, that’s why they’re there. Learning a language is not easy, even if it’s similar to your native tongue. I taught myself german to talk to a hot german guy who transferred to my school. Now German has many similar roots and is similar grammatically to English, but it was still a pain in the fucking ass. I had to learn new vocabulary, learn how to pronounce new letters, practice conversations and as a high school student, I didn’t have a lot of time, energy or patience for it. Now imagine a Korean kpop idol having to go through this. They would have to take time out of their immensely busy schedule (I’ve heard, at times they only have 2-3 hours of free time just so that they can sleep) to learn a whole new alphabet, learn a grammar that even confuses native speakers sometimes and so on. If you’re really tired of using subtitles and think learning a new language is easy, then just learn korean. Boom, now you won’t need subtitles.
Korean bands are incredibly underrated and it’s sad.
Bands like FT Island, CNblue, N.Flying, Day6 and Royal Pirates have all been slept on too much, and it’s for the thing they all have in common. They all play instruments instead of dance. Doesn’t mean it’s any less good, but still. It can be a refreshing change in sound from the usual electronic sound of most kpop songs. I just wish it got more recognition.
Dark/Sexy concepts > cute concepts
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t completely hate cute concepts (I do like Twice after all and post ooh-ahh, it’s been cute after cute after cute). Personally, before I got into kpop I was mainly in the rock/metal scene and I’m more used to seeing dark, bloody and anything but cute concepts. The fact I’m a horror fan doesn’t really help me like cute concepts that much. Now for sexy concepts, I like how for women, it can be about women taking control of their sexuality and embracing it, while with men...I’m just hella gay. What I like about dark concepts are about how they explore humanity’s worst kept secrets, gothic aesthetics (I personally identify as a punk but goths are pretty damn fab) and I personally think dark concepts are more creative than cute concepts. What I don’t like about cute concepts are how they usually portray the same thing basically, either a bunch of friends hanging out or a bunch of people competing for someone’s affection, how cliche they are and why would I want to see a bunch of 20-30-year-olds pretending to be kids? (Though genuinely childish idols aren’t so bad). Groups that do cute concepts well do try to make it unique (Twice Cheer Up) and have the idols act their age (Girls Generation Party).
I get more excited about my underrated faves winning awards than my popular bias groups.
I am happy when Big Bang, Girls Generation or EXO win awards, but you can almost kind of expect them to win. Now if a group like Nu’est or Ukiss won a daesang, I would be celebrating as if the Rangers got the Stanley Cup (I’m an ice hockey fan from NY). I’m sorry EXO, you may have gotten me a boyfriend (he and I met on EXO amino), but if B1A4 is nominated, I’m voting for them.
Now, for my most controversial opinion...
BTS is overrated
I don’t completely hate them. I’m not a fan of their music and I don’t think any of the members are that good looking. They’re not terrible, I’ll give them that, I actually think they’re okay. But the hype they’re getting, it’s like everyone thinks BTS is the greatest music group of all time. They’re just average in my opinion. But any time I see anything KPOP related, there’s always gonna be BTS either in the comment section, in social media posts, in video/vine compilations and every fucking where else on the internet. I think it’s ridiculous how popular they are, I mean EXO’s very popular too but their references tend to stay in the kpop sphere and usually reserved for when EXO is relevant. When I tell kpop fans I don’t like BTS, 9/10 times, they are the pearl-clutching level of shocked.

The Summer in Georgia
Chapter 25. The Rep
Isabella spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning cleaning the house. She put a load of laundry on and headed up to Lori’s closet to look for something special to wear Saturday night to the Founder’s Day Dance. She wanted to look perfect for hers and Daryl’s first official public date. She wondered if Daryl would wear sleeves. She giggled to herself, thinking about his unique fashion sense. Isabella started pulling dresses off the rack, looking for just the right one. She made a pile of possibilities and laid them over a chair, then started looking at shoes. Suddenly she heard a voice coming from downstairs. It was Daryl hollering.
“Where are ya’? Ya’ here? Hey, where are ya’?”
Isabella walked to the top of the staircase and hollered down to him.
“I’m up here, silly.”
Daryl looked up and smiled. “Ya’ cleanin’ up there or somethin’?”
“No, I’m looking for a dress to wear to the party. What are you doing here, I thought you had were working in the field today.” She asked.
“If ya’ don’t wanna’ see me, I can leave.” He joked.
Isabella came down the stairs and gave him a hug. “No really, what are you doing here?”
“I thought maybe ya’ wanted to get lunch. Ya’ hungry? We can go to Dairy Queen, ya’ said ya’ never been there. Ya’ can get one of them dipped cones after we eat.”
“Ok, that sounds great. Let me change real quick.” She said and ran off to change.
When they got to Dairy Queen, Daryl ordered for them. He got an order of steak fingers and an order of chicken fingers, both with extra, extra gravy. He told Isabella that they needed the extra gravy for the fries. ‘Ya’ gotta’ have gravy with yer fries.’ He told her. They sat outside and ate. Isabella insisted they share, so she could taste both kinds of fingers. Daryl laughed and let her split everything up. When they were done, he ordered two chocolate dip cones. Isabella was in heaven. This became her new favorite. Just as everything did, the first time she had something new. Daryl loved the way she got so excited over the simplest things. He watched her eat the ice cream, she ate every bite like it was heaven on a cone. He just smiled and thought about how adorable she was. When they finished, they headed back to Rick’s. Daryl drove by the Gas N Go and Isabella was reminded of Crystal.
“Who’s Crystal?” She asked out of the blue.
“What? How do ya’ know Crystal?” He asked surprised.
“The other day when we got gas, Rick said that Crystal was there and he asked you if you wanted him to go in. Then when you were inside, he told me she was a girl that gives you a hard time. Who is she and how does she give you a hard time?”
“She ain’t no one. Ya’ don’t need ta’ worry about her.” He said.
“You seem like you don’t want to tell me who she is. Is she an ex-girlfriend?” Isabella asked.
“I told ya’, I ain’t never had a girlfriend. So no, she ain’t an ex.” He answered annoyed.
“Daryl, you’re hiding something from me. Just tell me who she is. Why does she give you a hard time? Did you sleep with her?”  She asked firmly.
“No! I never slept with her. We didn’t have sex.”
“You never messed around with her?” Isabella asked.
“Why ya’ askin’ me this shit? She ain’t no one ya’ gotta’ worry about. She’s a stupid bitch.” Daryl said, angrily.
Isabella went silent. She knew he wasn’t being completely honest, he was being very vague. His body language told her, he was hiding something and his answers were short and lacking detail. She looked over at him, he was rolling down the window, so he could light a cigarette. She just stared at him.
“What?” He said, without looking at her.
“Nothing. No, not nothing. I can tell when someone’s lying or not telling the whole truth. It’s what I’m going to school for. It was just a simple question, I was just curious about her, because Rick said, she gives you a hard time and I was concerned. But the way you’re acting, makes me think it’s something more. You don’t have to lie to me, just tell me to mind my own business, but don’t lie to me. It’s insulting.”
Daryl knew she was right, but he wasn’t used to having to communicate on an adult level with a woman. It was easier to lie in the past because he didn’t give a shit what the girl thought, but he could clearly see that she was annoyed and he didn’t want her to not trust him. He was falling for her and fast. Faster than his mind was comfortable with, but his heart wasn’t willing to slow down. If he was going to have a big boy relationship than he needed to be a big boy and communicate like one.
“Ok! We messed around. But I didn’t fuck her. She just … Nothin’” He said.
“Just what?” Isabella asked.
“Nothin’. She just … She just gave me head. That’s it and it was a long time ago. It dint mean nothin’. I told ya’, none of ‘em did.” Daryl explained.
“Oh!” Was all she said, but she was thinking about all the women he’d been with and the fact that he had used them all. But she really did believe him when he told her that that was in the past and he wasn’t like that anymore. He hadn’t been with a woman in five years, until her. That had to mean something. “So that’s it, just a blow job.” She added.
“Yeah. She wanted more, she wanted ta’ fuck me, but I wasn’t havin’ it. She just never left it alone, she was always followin’ me and shit. Askin’ me out, tryin’ to get with me.” He told her.
“Does she still do that? You know, ask you out?” Isabella asked.
“I guess. She’s a stupid bitch. She’s a skank, ya’ don’t have ta’ worry about her, okay? Don’t worry about her, she ain’t nothin’. Really.” He said, trying to ease her mind.
Which it did, but she still didn’t like it. “Does she call you and stuff or just talk to you when you go into the gas station?”
“She used to call me, but I blocked her. Now, she justs asks me to go to parties and shit, askin’ me how I’m doin’ and tellin’ me I look good. It’s stupid. She just keeps hangin’ on. I mean it’s been like six years and she still thinks she’s gotta’ chance. She’s fuckin’ dense. She’s nasty, she’s fucked everybody in the county and…” Daryl stopped talking. He suddenly realized that had been him five years ago. He was nasty, he had fucked everyone in the county.
“I think she’s in love with you. Why didn’t you sleep with her? It doesn’t seem like you were very choosy back then.” She said, sarcastically. That burned him.
“The only reason she wanted ta’ fuck me was cuz a somethin’ her friend told her.” He said without thinking.
“What did her friend tell her about you? Did you sleep with her friend?” She asked.
“Yeah, I did. It was nothin’, she just told her… nothin’” He said with an embarrassed laugh.
“What, she told her what?”
“Nothin’…” He laughed nervously. “There was just this rumor about me. It was a bunch a bullshit.” He laughed again, taking a drink of his coke.
“Was it that you’re big… down there? Is it because you have a big… you know… thing?”
Daryl choked on his drink. Did she just say what he thought she did?
“Whuuh whuuat?” He laughed. “I can’t believe ya’ just said that.” He laughed again, very nervously.
“Well, is it? Is that what her friend told her?”
“Why would ya’ ask me that? I can’t believe ya’ just said that.” He said, still in disbelief.
“Just answer me.” Isabella said with a smile.
“It’s just a stupid rumor, that’s all. Somethin’ some girl started. Why’d ya’ say that, I mean, what made ya’ think it was that?” He asked.
“It makes sense. I mean, come on Daryl, I’ve seen you when you wake up.” Isabella laughed. Daryl’s face turned bright red, he pulled out another cigarette and lit it up.
“Why ya’ lookin’?” Was all he could get out. He took another puff on his cigarette. He was completely embarrassed.
“It’s kind of hard to miss. I mean you couldn’t hide it if you tried. Besides, that would explain what Charlie meant when he told me you had a reputation with women and then there was Rick’s comment about you being ‘equipped’.”
“What’d Charlie tell ya’. When’d he tell ya’ this? What the fuck? What’d he say?” Daryl said, clearly angry.
“He told me last week. He said, you had a reputation with women and that when you walked away from them, there were more than a few who were heartbroken because they’d never had their chance with you. He said, women still sought you out. Don’t be mad at him, I pushed him to tell me.” Isabella reassured him.
“He’s got a big fuckin’ mouth. He’s just tryin’ to make me look bad, cuz he’s gotta’ thing for ya’. He’s pissed cuz ya’ asked me to take ya’ to the party. He was gonna’ ask ya’, that’s what he was gonna’ ask ya’ that night, but ya’ asked me before he got the chance. He’s just bein’ a sore loser. Don’t listen ta’ his shit. Mother fucker!” He growled.
“He told me before I asked you to take me. He was going to ask me to the dance and I asked you, right in front of him? Oh my gosh, that’s so sad. I didn’t know that. I feel bad. Why didn’t you tell me that before now?” She asked him.
“Cuz I didn’t want to. I don’t like how he’s always hangin’ all over ya’ all the time. Bringin’ ya’ flowers and shit. Now he’s tryin’ to make me look bad. I’m gonna’ kick his ass. Don’t listen ta’ nothin’ he says.”
Isabella smiled. “First of all, I told you he didn’t have a chance with me. So, you don’t have to be jealous and you don’t have to worry about him flirting with me. It’s you Daryl, you’re the one I want. You’ve always been the one I wanted, since I first saw you. Okay? Second of all…” She started to laugh. “Second of all, how is telling me you have a reputation for being packed trying to make you look bad? If anything, it makes you look better. I don’t know firsthand, but from what I’ve read in like, every women’s magazine ever written and from what every girl that I’ve ever known has said, bigger is better. Right? I mean, there’s girls who still want you because apparently, you’re an amazing lover and you’ve got it going on down there. Right?” She laughed. “Right? Makes me think, I’m gonna’ be a pretty lucky girl.”
Daryl tossed his cigarette out and rolled up the window. He grabbed his coke and took a big swig.
“Ya’ wanted me from the first time ya’ saw me?” He said softly.
“Yes, from the very first time when you looked at me as you were sliding into the booth that day.” She smiled.
“Huh. Why? Why me? Ya’ can do so much better.” He said sadly.
“Better than you? There is nothing better than you, Daryl. I was hoping you’d realized that by now.”
Daryl just smiled out of the corner of his mouth shyly. He was falling for her, falling fast and now his mind was finally catching up with his heart.
“I won’t go ta’ that gas station no more, if ya’ don’t want me to.” Daryl told her. He couldn’t express how he felt about her verbally, so this was his attempt to show her how much she meant to him. It was a small gesture, but it was coming from his heart and his heart was big.
“I don’t think that’s necessary. I trust you. I believe you when you tell me that you’re not that guy anymore and that you never cared for those girls. I’m still a little jealous though. Not because I think you want to be with them now, but because you were already with them. They know you in a way that I don’t and apparently, you made quite an impression. Obviously, you know what you’re doing with that down there… “She said, gesturing toward his lap. “… if you’ve got them still wanting more after all this time.” She laughed.
Daryl turned red and laughed. “Is that what ya’ think? Ya’ think I know what I’m doin’? Do ya’?”
“Apparently. Just makes me a little curious, that’s all.” She said as she reached over and ran her fingers softly across his hand. He blushed and smiled at her.
“The thing… ya’ know, what I got a rep for? Havin’ a … ya’ know… what I have… well, it don’t necessarily mean I know what I’m doin’ and if I did, I dunno’ if I know what I’m doin’ anymore. After all this fuss, I hope I don’t disappoint ya’!” Daryl confessed.
“You could never disappoint me, Daryl. I know that when it finally does happen, it’s going to be amazing. Even though I’ll have no clue what I’m doing and you’re a little rusty, I think we’ll figure it out.” She paused and then added, “When do you think that might be?” She said with a big smile.
Daryl laughed. “Damn girl, be patient! I’m startin’ ta’ feel like ya’ only want me for my body. I have a brain, too, ya’ know?”
“It ain’t your brain I’m interested in, Dixon!” Isabella giggled.
“What if I don’t live up to my rep? Ya’ gonna’ dump me?” Daryl laughed.
“Like I said, I’ve seen you when you wake up. I’m pretty certain that your rep is safe!” She said confidently.
Daryl pulled up to a red light and stopped.
“Hey!” He said.
Isabella turned and looked at him. He smiled at her and put the truck in park, then leaned across and kissed her softly on the lips. He pulled back and looked into her eyes, then kissed her again. The light turned green and they were still kissing. The car behind them started honking. They both laughed, he kissed her once more and then put the truck in drive.
