#I cannot stress how easily I can be entertained

[kartyr]

“What do you do when you’re LR1 and you’re waiting for updates?”

Unbelievably silly shit. Did a duviri run with one of my best friends and before we even started the run, I hit the “meditate” emote and spun myself around for 5 minutes like a beyblade.

I then proceeded to turn and Aim so my character would snap to cursor as if you picked up a forbidden artifact.

Kinkuary 20 Jeongin — cnc/dubcon // table/counter sex

➥ dom!Jeongin × sub!Reader

summary: Y/N’s biggest fantasy has always been to be forcefully taken advantage of, something she never shared until she started dating Jeongin who seems more than willing to help bring her fantasy to life.

wc: 2.5k

warnings: afab reader, adult dialogue, established relationship, sexual content (minors dni!): fingering, rough unprotected sex (use protection!), Jeongin pins the reader down and forces himself on her (it's consensual! It's part of the con noncon thing!), reader asks him to stop and says no but it's part of her fantasy, sex on a table (they make a mess of their dining room lol oops), dirty talk and degrading names, Jeongin comes off as a little mean but it's all part of the fantasy. I think I got them all but let me know if I missed any!

a/n: TW: THEMES OF CONSENSUAL NON CONSENSUAL SEX. ALSO CALLED CON NONCON OR CONSENSUAL R@PE. THE READER HAS AGREED TO THIS PREVIOUSLY. If this topic bothers you, DO NOT READ!!! When she says no and asks him to stop, it's part of her fantasy and Jeongin makes sure to check in and give Y/N the opportunity to use their safe word to make sure she's still good to go. Consent is sexy and the most important thing between partners. Thank you for reading this installment of Kinkuary!

You pushed at Jeongin’s chest, trying to push him off you but it was no use, not when your boyfriend was definitely stronger than you and for good reason. He’d spent most of his free time in the gym with Chris and Changbin.

And it was beginning to show how easily he overpowered you.

“Stop fighting me, Y/N,” Jeongin purred, caging your ur body between his arms and pressing you against the wall. “No,” you whimpered, gripping the front of his sweatshirt. “Let me go!”

When you first explained you fantasy to you boyfriend, he took the time to sit you down and have you walk him through every aspect. He was intrigued by the idea of consensual non consensual sex and even more impressed that you trusted him enough.

By no means, did Jeongin ever fantasize about taking advantage of you but when you assured him it was something you fantasized about a lot, he was willing to give it a try and came to find that he absolutely loved it.

He loved the control and power it gave him to over power you, but more than anything, he loved how you trusted and loved him enough to let him into this secret world of yours.

He’d fulfilled this fantasy of yours more than once and somehow he managed to keep it new and exciting each time.

You’d sent a text to Jeongin, one of your usual to communicate that you wanted him to come home and take advantage of you.

You: you wanna play with me tonight?

Innie🦊: tonight? You sure?

You: yes. Today was so stressful at work. Pls Innie?

Innie🦊: of course baby. Whatever you want 💕 what do you wanna play?

You: thank you Innie 🥰 how about obsessed stalker?

Innie🦊: i think I’m a little out of practice with that one. How about jealous estranged boyfriend comes home after a fight? I think i can pull that off on short notice 😉

You: perfect ♥️

Innie🦊: safe word?

You: cherries 🍒

You’d gone about your day like normal, making dinner, cleaning up the apartment, and putting away clean laundry. You were finishing filling the dishwasher when the doorbell rang.

You curiously walked over and peered through the peephole to see Jeongin standing outside the door. You sent him a quick text.

You: what do you want?

Innie🦊: let me in.

You: no. You left for a reason, Jeongin

Innie🦊: please baby. Let’s talk this out.

You: I don’t have the energy to argue anymore, Jeongin.

Innie🦊: no arguing. No fighting. I promise.

You forced the smile off your face before unlocking the door and pulling it open, but only as far as the chain lock would allow.

Jeongin turned to look through the gap.

“Baby,” he said, smiling at you.

He noticed the chain. “What’s with the chain?” He asked, smile almost falling instantly. You shook your head. “You wanted to talk?” You asked, noticing the way the smile on his face fell completely.

“Let me in, please, Y/N. I don’t want to talk this out through the door.”

You hesitated, eyeing him as he stood on the other side of the door, looking equal parts sad and pathetic. You groaned and rolled your eyes.

“Fine! But you’ve got five minutes,” you said as you closed the door, undoing the chain and letting it open, allowing Jeongin inside. Once he was inside, he shut the door, locking it and advanced on you, taking your face in his hands. “I missed you so much,” he said softly, pulling you into a kiss which you tried to shy away from.

You weren’t going to let him get it that easily.

“You wanted to talk,” you said, trying to keep your voice even but the excitement of what Jeongin was about to do was evident.

You moved to the kitchen island and waited for Jeongin to make his move.

“I’m so sorry baby,” Jeongin said, taking your hand in his, caressing the back of it absentmindedly. “I was such a jerk the last time we spoke. I said some things I knew would hurt you and I never should have said them,” he said softly.

The look on his face was genuine and for a split second you forgot he was acting, as were you. He’d just gotten so good at it.

“What’s said is done, Jeongin,” you replied, pulling your hand from his. “Let’s just forget it and move on,” you added.

“Of course. I’d like nothing more than to move on with you,” Jeongin replied, getting to his feet as you moved to put space between you.

“Jeongin,” you warned. “When I said move on, I meant move on alone,” you continued. “We need to end things. This isn’t good for either of us.”

Jeongin’s expression shifted from confusion to anger. “Are you breaking up with me?” He demanded, sounding every bit outraged as he would, were this real.

You nodded slowly. “It’s for the best,” you said softly, moving out of his grasp and towards the door, hoping to urge him out into the hall. “Baby, please don’t do this,” Jeongin pleaded. “Give me another chance,” he added.

“I’m sorry, Jeongin. I just can’t,” you said, reaching for the doorknob. You felt his hand close around your wrist. “Is there someone else?” He demanded. You shook your head, trying to pull from his grip. “No! There isn’t someone else!”

His eyes narrowed. “So you’re saying you weren’t all buddy-buddy with Seungmin the other day?” He growled, eyes flashing darkly. For a moment you thought he was being serious. That he actually thought you were messing around with one of his friends. You pulled from his grip, turning to grab the doorknob.

“You need to leave.” You twisted the handle, pulling the door open only for Jeongin to force it shut. This was exactly what you were hoping for.

-last warning. con noncon from this point on-

“Did you really think it would be that easy to get rid of me?” He asked in a much lower and darker tone. You looked up at him, eyes wide. In all the times you’d acted out this fantasy, his voice had never once sounded like that.

It sent a chill up your spine as he grabbed your wrist and turned you, pushing your back against the wall and pressing himself against you, keeping you pinned to the wall. “What’re you—” you started but stopped when he captured your lips in a searing kiss. You melted for a moment before remembering the act.

“Get off me,” you hissed, pushing him off you only for him to cage you against the wall, leaning in to whisper four words that would be your undoing.

“Stop fighting me Y/N.”

The next few steps happened so quickly it took your brain a moment to catch up. Jeongin grabbed your wrists, pinning them against the wall on either side of your head, leaning in to brush his lips against yours as you whimpered out a no.

“I know you want this,” he purred, a devilish grin on his face because he was right. You did want this. You did ask for this. It was the delivery of his words that had your heart racing. “Let me go,” you whined, struggling against his grip.

Jeongin let out a chuckle. “It’s so cute how you fight back, knowing you could never escape me,” he retorted, his tone low. “I promise you’ll love it,” he added and before you had a chance to respond, he’d grabbed you by your hair, guiding you over to your dining room table.

“What are you doing?” You cried as he knocked everything off the table, turning you to face away before bending you over the wooden surface, keeping you pinned against it with one hand and undoing his pants with the other.

“Stop!” You cried out, struggling against him as he grabbed your shorts and panties and pulled them down your thighs with one hand. “Jeongin!” You whimpered as he kept you pinned down, one hand disappearing between your thighs to find your center already soaked.

“Fuck,” he groaned, fingers finding your clit and teasing it briefly before moving up to your slit. “I knew you’d enjoy this,” he continued, pushing two fingers into your cunt. “So wet already for me.” You shook your head, eyes burning with tears.

“S-stop,” you whimpered, walls clenching around his fingers. “But you’re responding so well,” he chuckled. “Squeezing around my fingers like you want more,” he added, pulling his fingers from your pussy and rubbing the tip of his now freed cock against you.

“Jeongin please,” you sobbed. “Stop!” ‘Don’t stop!’

He sighed, leaning forward, resting his forearm across your back and ducked his head closer to your ear. “Do you really want me to stop? You know what to say,” he whispered, the teasing tone absent from his voice. He was giving you a chance to use your safe word but this is what you wanted.

You shook your head quickly, letting him know you weren’t calling it quits.

“Then shut up and stop crying,” he said, the darker tone back in his voice.

“Just stay there and take it.”

You let out a moan, hands balling into fists as he pushed the tip of his cock into your cunt, your walls pulling him in as he bottomed out, a groan leaving his lips as he stilled, buried balls deep inside you.

“Fuuuuck me,” he growled, his momentary lapse in focus allowing you to try and push yourself up. He was quick to regain control, pushing you back down, grabbing both your wrists and pulling them behind your back to hold with one hand. “I told you to stay there,” he ordered.

“You think I’m gonna listen to you?” You hissed, struggling against his hold. You felt his fingers dig into your hair. “I already told you once,” he grunted, giving you a sharp thrust. “Stop.” thrust “Fucking.” thrust “Fighting me!” thrust.

You cried out with each sharp hit of his hips against your ass. “Jeongin please stop!” You sobbed again, tears burning the corners of your eyes and blurring your vision. “Stop bitching,” he growled, his grip on your wrist tightening.

“Just lay there and take it like a good girl,” he scoffed. “I know I’m not the only one you’ve been fucking,” he added. “W-what?” You asked incredulously, trying to focus on the dialogue. “You’ve been fucking my friends behind my back, haven’t you?”

You shook your head. “No I haven’t!” Jeongin ignored your protests.

“You think just because I left the apartment the other day that you can go off and fuck anyone?” He asked, the force of his thrusts causing the table to scrape against the floor. “N-no!” You cried out. “I haven’t been fucking anyone!”

Jeongin scoffed. “Don’t make me laugh,” he growled. “I’m not an idiot, Y/N.” He let out a chuckle. “It doesn’t matter how many guys you fuck after me. You’re mine,” he added. “You. Are. Mine.”

Your walls clenched around his cock at his words as if agreeing and solidifying his claim over you.

“This pussy is mine,” he continued, giving a few measured, sharp thrusts before resuming the same relentless pace from before. “That pretty mouth is mine,” he added, releasing your wrists and leaning over your back, pinning you to the table as his hips continued their assault.

His hand came up around your mouth, cutting off your protests and your screams as he pounded into you. “That’s it, baby,” he said softly. “Scream for me. No one can hear you.” Your walls tightened around him, your thighs trembling as your orgasm crashed over you quickly.

“Oh that was fast,” he said with a chuckle. “But I’m not done yet.”

You tried to pry his hand off your mouth but he was too strong for you. His free arm wrapped around your chest. “If you don’t want me to tie your hands, stop fighting me and just take it,” he groaned, hips moving erratically, thrusts growing sloppy as he chased his own high.

You moaned, the sound muffled by his hand as his own orgasm washed over him, his hips stuttering to a halt as he buried his cock deep inside you as he came, emptying his load into your cunt. “Fuck!” He swore loudly, giving you a couple more thrusts before letting go of you and pushing himself up.

You fell limp against the table, panting heavily. “Y/N?” Jeongin said, his voice back to normal. “You alright baby?” He asked. You nodded feebly.

“Was I too rough?” He asked, leaning down to pepper kisses against your cheek. You shook your head. “No,” you said hoarsely. “It was perfect.”

Jeongin pressed a couple kisses to your head before finally pulling out of you, wincing from sensitivity as you whined at the loss of his cock inside you.

“Let’s get you cleaned up,” he murmured, pulling your shorts and underwear back up. “I’ll pick up later,” he added as he helped you stand up straight, your legs shaking as he supported your weight.

“Do you need me to carry you?” He asked, all semblance of the act from before gone. He was just your loving, sweet, and caring boyfriend again. You shook your head but let out a little yelp when he scooped you up anyway.

“Jeongin!” You whined in embarrassment as he carried you through your apartment towards the bathroom. He silenced you with a kiss before setting you on your feet and guiding you to sit on the closed toilet lid.

“Shower first, then bed,” he said as he turned to start the water. “Bed?” You asked, looking up at him. “It’s only—” you tried to protest but he silenced you yet again with another kiss, this time longer than the last.

“Yes. Bed. I want you to rest. Then we’ll have dinner and then makeup sex,” he added. “But—” he pressed a finger to your lips. “No buts,” he answered.

“I’m gonna cuddle you, feed you, and spend the rest of the night making it up to you.”

“There’s nothing to make up for! Jeongin, I asked for that. I wanted it!”

He shook his head as he tested the water. “You didn’t ask for that part with Minnie. I’m sorry about that,” he replied. “I don’t think you’d ever sleep with my friends by the way.” You nodded. “I know Innie,” you said as he knelt before you.

“It was just part of the act. I know that,” you said, caressing his cheek. He took your hand in his, placing a kiss to the back of it and caressing your skin with his thumb. “I love you,” he said softly, looking up at you.

You smiled at his admission. “I know that, too,” he playfully smacked the back of your hand. “Yah! Say it back!” You rolled your eyes, sliding from your seat and onto his lap, your arms wrapping around his neck before your lips descended onto his.

“I love you too, you dork.”

🎃What I pack for vacation, little edition🎃

I like going on trips but it also stresses me out due to being autistic so I always take littlespace gear with me both to regress and because they are comfort items and help me regulate

🦝pacis, I always pack a few of the pacis I currently use most in a stable box so they don't break, I usually use a lunchbox for this as they don't take up much space and I have own that fits up to 3 pacis easily🦝

🦇sippy/bottle, I tend to pack one bottle or sippy as more would take up too much space but sometimes I also take two or a cool water bottle in addition to be a sneaky baby on the train🦇

🕷️coloring books, I always bring my tiny space journal with me and usually also another coloring book but usually s thin one as they aren't heavy and take up little space🕷️

🦝coloring supplies, obviously I also need pens and such if I take my coloring books and joirnal, I usually pack my general pencil case plus a set of colored pencils, sometimes I even take stickers🦝

🦇plushies, I cannot travel anywhere without at least one of my babies, depending on how long I am gone I take my comfort plush Benjamin or someone else because I am very scared of loosing Benji, often I also take more🦇

🕷️my switch, I like to take my switch along both to play games on the train ride and to entertain myself hen we are there because I can't pack my most of my toys🕷️

🦝toys, while there isn't space for many toys I like to bring along a few small things like a can of Play-Doh, a doll, a rattle or a puzzle, they don't take up a lot of space and are super fun to play when I'm little with🦝

🦇baby clothes, I like to pack atleast one of my onesies or other clothes I like when I'm little, especially if they are discreet because that way I can be itty bitty without stressing about it🦇

🕷️cute accessories, I love wearing bows, bracelets and other cute jewelry when I'm regressed so I always take some along when I go anywhere so if I'm feeling small I have a comforting thing super fast🕷️

🦝paci clips, I love paci clips so I always take at least one with me, that way I can color and play without having to worry about losing my paci in the bed🦝

🦇diapies/pull ups, I don't always take these but when I know I might be getting my period soon or I like wearing them more often at that time I do, just remember to bring trash bags if you plan on using for potty stuff them so it doesn't smell🦇

🕷️food, sometimes I like to take some snacks for little me because I can be very pick when I'm little and that way I know there will be stuff I like to eat, this is especially helpful for the train rides🕷️

Fun fact of the day: babie rabbits are called kittens

UPCOMING INVADER ZIM CAST AND CREW Q&A - MY FORMAL CAMPAIGN TO MAKE IT LIVE STREAMED

Okay listen up y’all, this shits important

I found out that there is going to be a special event at The Frida Cinema playing Enter The Florpus followed by a Q&A (or All A as per Jhonen)

Obviously we cannot ask the cinema to stream a movie, and that’s not what is important but I contacted the cinema to ask them if it were at all possible to buy a ticket to livestream or record the event to show for a limited time.

The cinema seemed receptive! In the email they said Nostalgic Nebula is helping running the event so a quick Google search has given me their contact information as well. I am going to reach out via their email as well.

Now as we all know, numbers are important. Let’s all email and ask to have this become an online event. I am reaching out to all Invader Zim fans whether you be shippers, gore fans, soft fans, NSFW or SFW it doesn’t matter. No in fighting, don’t ignore it because you don’t like the blogs usual content. We all want this to happen. Now some guidelines I feel are important:

BE FUCKING POLITE

I cannot stress this enough, being rude is not going to make this happen.

ASK TO PAY FOR A TICKET

Money talks, no matter how many people ask they will be more inclined if we all say we are willing to purchase a ticket for a live-streamed or recorded event.

NO SPAMMING

Just send one email and reply as appropriating, we wanna overwhelm them positively and spamming “make it a livestream!” Is not only annoying but it could overload this, I’m assuming, smaller more local theatre. Don’t spam the cast, the crew, social media’s, for the love of GOD don’t spam Jhonen, he’s not in charge of this and if we annoy him about this he would demand it not recorded out of spite.

ASK FOR IT TO BE LIVE STREAMED OR RECORDED

Not every company is capable of live streaming events and could easily be overwhelmed or crash. Be sure to ask if it can be live streamed OR recorded, if they can record it and upload it for a limited time viewing that could be more accessible for them.

Here are the contact links:

I really want this to happen and I know there are tons of other fans who would love this too so please reblog this and share it around. Wow I never thought I would actively ask to have my post reblogged but I want this so yeah

Ranking all the Jesuses from every version I've watched/listened to so far

without further ado let's get into it 🙌

Ian Gillan - 1970 Original concept album

The True Doer that you cannot outdo. The og who made this role what it is today. And since the og album was were I got my start and obsession with jcs, I have a huge fondness for him. There's just something so- so... about him. His vocals? Insane, fantastic, the golden standard. His Gethsemane is Everything. He raised the bar so high (literally lol) and made this role harder for everyone that came after him and I respect that. I also love his characterisation. He is a rockstar and he knows it. Adore this whiny ass messiah and his dramatics. 9/10

Ted Neeley - 1973 movie

Sad little mouse man. He's like some small rodent to me. His gethsemane is iconic, but beyond it I don't care to much about his Jesus. He's perfectly inoffensive, but I find him a bit boring. Poor guy also had the disadvantage of performing against Carl Anderson, who's too powerful and who commanded every scene he was in, outshining Jesus. Tedsus is not for me personally, but he's definitely not bad. 6/10

Camilo Sesto - Madrid 1975 album

I like him! He reminds me of Ian's Jesus but sadder (love to see it). Really good vocals. That 'POR QUE' ate. And his Gethsemane in general too. I don't have that much to say besides that, but Señor Sesto is really good in this role. 8/10

James Whitson - San Jose Civic Light Opera's 1990 production

Uhhhhhhh. Watched this in a discord watch party and for half of it we were thought this was Ted. It wasn't. Don't really know what to say, there wasn't anything really memorable or notable about him. Also has the disadvantage of being pared up with Carl Anderson, except it's even worse here. If Carl was anywhere near him, no chance I was paying attention to Jesus. Um... he chased Santa out of the Temple! That's something! 3/10

Steve Balsamo - 1996 London revival album

Steve Balsamo Jesus, my dearly beloved. How can you not love him. Just rewatch his Gethsemane for the 1000th time. His vocals are out of this world, man has organ pipes in place of vocal chords. Props to him for actually crying in gethsemane and still killing it. Absolutely fantastic. And his beautiful hair and those brown eyes really add to it. He's such a sad pathetic man, it's great. No complaints 10/10

Glenn Carter - 2000 movie

I'm shaking, please buy him brown contacts. I am a glensus hater, although I have to admit that during my second viewing I didn't dislike him as much. Easily my least favourite gethsemane (lmm excluded), except his delivery of "what you started, I didn't start it", that was surprisingly good. Again, I'm a hater but bonus points for the entertainment factor. 4/10

Paul Nolan - 2012 Broadway revival

BORING! Sorry your trouple doesn't save you from being so incredibly bland. It's like looking at a white wall that has just been painted over and you're watching it dry. Gethsemane is solid vocally, I like his interactions with others. But Jesus himself? No thanks. The staging of the crucifixion was so great, but then there he is with his mouth agape like a baby bird being fed and unconvincing "suffering". Also, no blood? 3/10

Ben Forster - 2012 UK Arena tour

THIS IS THE ONE. My roman empire. My most dear blorbo. He's been living in my head rent free for months. I love him so much. He's just so incredibly stressed out and angsty and pathetic and constantly on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. His gethsemane is my favourite. Just pretty much everything I could want from a performance of it. The way he curls up on the floor? The little moments when his voice breaks a bit from emotion?? The knee thing??? Great, fantastic, stunning, no notes. Also I adore his costuming, finally Jesus is given something more interesting. 11/10

John Legend - 2018 NBC

Hot take, but he's not nearly as bad as people make him out to be. He's just fine. I do enjoy his voice, Poor Jerusalem is especially good. Although I don't love his acting in the second act, but I really liked him in the first one. This Jesus just seems really nice and friendly and I love that. Gethsemane is solid vocally, even without the G5. Anyways he's not bad at all! 6/10

Andrew Latobesi - 2018 Villanova College

This was another wildcard from the watch party. Jesus didn't stand out much because we were all a bit distracted by Judi. And Mary. He was bland and the acting was not fantastic, but this is a high school prod, and for what it's worth he's not bad. Gethsemane was solid enough considering everything. The crucifixion surprisingly hit, good crying there. ??/10 since I don't think it would be fair to rank him against all those adult professional performers.

Jack Hopewell - 50th Anniversary North America tour

The only Jesus that made me cry while watching. He suffers real good (and looks very pretty while doing so). He's just so- so... I just wanted to wrap him up in a soft blanket and give him a kiss on the forehead and feed him soup. Tbh I think he's one of the best vocally too. His high note is my fav. Gethsemane in general is just great too. Love how much he's just some silly guy who then has to face the Horrors. He's just very cute :] 10/10

Jeangu Macrooy - 2024 Netherlands national tour

The most poor little meow meow Jesus ever. He's so pathetic it's great. Him smiling and being happy was also so cute. Really good vocals too, man killed those high notes. His gethsemane too... Jeangu Macrooy absolutely steels the show and it's fantastic and incredibly heartbreaking. Want to see his performance again so so badly. In the meantime everyone should check out a snippet of his performance 10/10

Yet another Total Drama Controversy Meme: SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO OF THE REBOOT

Favorite Character: Dawn - I’ve been a fan of hers even before the season aired back in the day (I was able to watch the French version that leaked). She’s probably considered “overrated” today but she’s still a decent character.

Despised Character: Chase - he’s funny but…then he opens his mouth and how he treats Emma irritates me.

Favorite Season: Total Drama Island (2007/2008)- I can rewatch this season many times over it still holds up to this day .

Despised Season: Total Drama Action - this season just makes me mad. It broke both Duncney and Gwent up, derailed the four of them and it dragged way too much for having a smaller cast.

Most Overrated Character: Julia - I feel like they tried way too hard to get people to like her and every ���villainous” act she’s done as been OFF SCREEN! Then they made her the villain for season two of the reboot which just made her worse. I never saw the appeal and genuinely didn’t like her from the beginning.

Most Underrated Character: Dakota - she was done SO dirty during revenge of the island and did not deserve being exposed to radiation.

Favorite Couple: Alejandro x Heather - their chemistry is UNMATCHED, they’re made for one another and I genuinely cannot see them not being together and married.

Despised Character: Gwourtney - don’t hate me y’all but I’ve always found them to be so fake. They were “friends” for maybe one episode during world tour then Gwen kissed Duncan. Not to mention them probably voting for one another in said season. Then all stars happened with Gwen saying,”oh Duncan and Courtney weren’t together when I kissed Duncan!1!1!” Then we have Courtney’s list being exposed showing that she didn’t actually want to take Gwen to the final 2 or whatever. Nothing but backstabbing. (Plus I ship Gwen with Leshawna!!)

Favorite Song: Her real name isn’t Blaineley - Blaineley deserved it. It’s a hilarious and catchy song.

Despised Song: Shearing Sheep - horribly off beat which makes it hard to listen to.

Favorite Episode: If You Can’t Take The Heat - easily top 5 of my favorite episodes of the series. Entertaining from start to finish, Heather getting locked in the freezer after getting her eyebrows burned off HILARIOUS! Beth being the reason her team was on a losing streak.

Despised Episode: Sunday Muddy Sundae - looking back I think action derailed her the most of this episode just…stress…the way Mal just MAGICALLY found her list pisses me off to this day. The way everyone turned on Courtney simply for playing the game.

Reading for Joe Burrow and girlfriend:

Joe’s feelings:

Nine of wands: he is very protective of their relationship. It also indicates being scared of being hurt, therefore you put up a wall and are weary of other intentions. He is very guarded. He might also perceives her as a potential threat to his inner world. He does not easily trust others, and feelings for someone else are really hard for them to deal with...they are too worried about keeping themselves safe. So the wall goes up. Caution to the extreme. Since they have been together for a while, means he is safe with her and he has learnt to trust and taken his guard down. But he is still very defensive and prepared for the worst.

Of course, the protective part comes up usually when the person's feelings in question belong to a man... Men generally feel very protective towards someone they have feelings for, and is one of the things the masculine essence offers the feminine essence: its protection...

Gf’s feelings:

King of wands: she loves him passionately. She is excited by him and their relationship together, but not in a shallow way. Her excitement stems from deep love for him and a clear vision for theirfuture. Sheknows what she wants and how to get it. She knows that she sees him in their ideal future.

Dominant characteristic of relationship:

The devil: Their chemistry is out of this world, and they’re full of desire for eachother. However, the Devil has a dark side, and this kind of desire can easily be taken to the extreme, where it becomes selfish and unhealthy.

The Devil is a sign of addiction and codependency. In some cases, it means feeling addicted to love, and needing to be with someone for the sake of being with someone. Over time, this is destructive to the individuality and self-respect of both partners.

Challenges and conflicts:

Five of wands: The Five of Wands is the card of conflict, tension, competition, and clashes of ego. The Five of Wands reminds us that conflict is a part of life. Conflict cannot be avoided forever. Conflict comes up in every relationship, good and bad. It is not conflict itself that causes issues, but how we handle it. The Five of Wands reminds us that we can choose how we handle conflict. We can choose to do this with hostility, or we can choose to do this with grace and kindness.

Differing views or interests may be causing disagreements. These conflicts, although challenging, can be an opportunity for growth and learning if approached constructively. Five of Wands as an obstacle or challenge means that disagreements or competing desires may be causing tension in the partnership. This could manifest as frequent arguments, misunderstandings, or a struggle for control. Addressing these issues openly and honestly, and seeking a compromise where possible, would be key to resolving this tension.

Potential:

Ten of wands: The Ten of Wands is the card of burden, responsibility, obligation, duty, stress, and burnout. If you are asking about what is the outcome of a relationship, and you draw the Ten of Wands, that means that the relationship could be karmic. Karmic relationships aren’t bad, but they’re meant to teach us a potentially difficult life lesson. The Ten of Wands as love outcome is a sign of feeling like the relationship is more burdensome than it brings happiness.

Whatever is creating heaviness in this relationship needs to be communicated with each other to be resolved. They need to a talk.

Will they get married?

Commitment: I guess that is very self explanatory. They want to be in eachother’s futures.

I hope you enjoy this reading. And please keep in mind that this is done for entertainment purposes only. I use tarotcards and oracle cards actively in my readings, as well as my intuition. Energies come and go, what is relevant for today’s reading might change in a few weeks time. But some aspects will always remain constant and the same. Thank you.❤️

Aaa sorry for the bombarding of Modern AU Q’s but ..

1. What would be Zenitsu’s favorite Christmas movie? Who would watch it with him?

2. Very specific question but how would Zenitsu react to being showed the bumble from Rudolph? I’ve heard mixed reactions from people saying it rather terrified them as a kid or they loved it

3. How would Zenitsu do in a school environment?

4. What would the Uzui’s think of Zenitsu’s friends (Tanjiro, Inosuke, Kanao, Nezuko, Genya) if he brought them over? If they were his same age

5. How would the Uzui’s manage Zenitsu’s birthday?

Please keep them coming, I love them! Honestly I’ve put a bit of thought into a modern AU, not necessarily to write a full fic about but it helps me work on their dynamics in OMWF

1. I am once again trying not to out myself as someone who does not know recent children’s media…that said, that 1970s Sesame Street Christmas special. It’s musical (the songs slap) and not super high stakes or stressful so it’s not going to freak him out. (Please note that I was not a child in the 70s lmao I was just a Sesame Street girlie)

I think they might watch it with him once. And then just put it on for him over and over and over again.

I was actually going to suggest those cheesy romance ones, but I think they’re too high concept for a young kid to understand leaving your big city job and rich fiancé for the charming Christmas tree farmer who understands the true meaning for Christmas :/

Oh, also the Santa Buddies movies. With the puppies that talk? Suma is a huge fan as well tbh.

2. Bumble is terrifying and I do not think he would actually make it through that entire movie 😭 he hides as soon as it’s on screen and that’s in the first few minutes, I think?

3. Canonically (per Kimetsu Academy) Zenitsu doesn’t do well in school, but he only applies himself to subjects he likes. I imagine school is probably a nightmare for him, it’s loud and overwhelming, he doesn’t make friends easily, and he cries a lot which frankly ruins a toddler’s street cred. I cannot imagine Uzui as an understanding parent when it comes to homework either tbh. So it’s a bad experience all around.

4. I don’t think Tengen would mind them, but he would mind being used as a babysitter. He wouldn’t really want to entertain a bunch of kids…but can you even imagine him trying to drop Zenitsu off on a play date? There would be so much screaming. So play dates are always at his house and he’s kinda mad about it (but refuses to work on the whole separation anxiety thing. That’s totally not his problem…)

5. I have a lot of thoughts on how Zenitsu’s birthday was decided upon (I do not believe he would realistically know what his birthday is) and my personal headcanon that I was going to write into a fic and haven’t yet, is that Jigoro assigns the day as a “this is the first day as a changed person” kind of deal.

That said; Uzui uses his birthday to flaunt his wealth and party planning abilities and has a huge blowout that he also invites his adult friends to, even if they don’t actually know Zenitsu. Despite the overstimulating environment, the actual highlight of the day is that Giyu actually showed up.

[inkykeiji]

yeah but imagine being the ONLY one that can make both sukuna's heart and cock throb, that even hes mad at this fact and at himself... I think he'd be so absolutely violently possessive, more than your other iterations, just cause I picture him exactlyyyy like the anime makes him out, minus the curse lol but I picture him a bit more controlled yet 10x more sadistic

omg anon yes yes YES a million times yes to literally all of this!!! you reached into my brain and plucked this from the depths, i completely agree with you 100%!!! that’s exactly why i think exploring sukuna with some sort of ‘significant other’ (is he capable of ‘true’ love??? who knows!! i’d be exploring that for sure!!!) would be SO much fun—because you’re entirely right, he would be so incredibly pissed that someone (and probably someone he deems extremely weak) has such control and power over him (his body + his emotions + his mind). because this makes him susceptible to vulnerabilities, and oh no, he can’t have that, he must immediately take full control over you so he can ensure that YOU never hurt HIM; so that you can never be used against him, as bait or leverage. 

i think it’s due to these facts above in addition to his inherent selfishness (which i think would translate to him needing to own you in a relationship type dynamic, plus a hefty dose of jealousy) that would be the root of this extreme possessiveness you’re talking about. 

he really would!!! he’d literally be touya-nii dialled up to a million HAHAHA. because while touya-nii has the ability to feel a few cinders of guilt on very rare occasions, and can feel something somewhat similar to ‘love’ for a select few people, sukuna cannot feel anything other than pure obsession. 

i agree! i think he has an impeccable amount of self control. he very, VERY rarely loses his cool in any way unless he allows himself to lose his cool. he could be seething with anger so strong and so potent it’s melting his insides, but on the outside he’d still be extremely apathetic—calm and unbothered. and he’d stay that way until he decides to allow his opponent to know he’s pissed off. but with you, with you it’s different, because you’ve learned to read him; you know how to decode the sharp glint in his eye or the slight twitch of his lips or the barely there flare of his nostrils, and that pisses him off, too, because that’s yet another weakness, a crack in his meticulously crafted mask. even still, he isn’t going to show you, or fully unleash it on you, until he finds the opportune moment; until the time is perfect. 

he’s mean as FUCK. he’s mean for no reason, he’s mean for fun, he’s mean for stress relief. he’s mean when he’s happy and he’s meaner when he’s angry. he’s mean as a form of entertainment, because he just loves the expressions and reactions he can so easily conjure from you, and he’s mean as a form of experiment, to see how far he can push you, which actions get which reactions, etc.. it’s his favourite pastime, it’s how he shows his love, he tells you, and you should be honoured he’s even bothering waste so much attention and effort on you at all as if he ever had a choice in the first place <3

NoLovejoyinOz

If you weren't aware, known abuser William Gold (AKA Wilbur Soot) is trying to make a comeback by touring Australia. Yeah, no thanks, the days of England sending their criminals over here are long gone.

I wrote this open letter with support from the rest of the NoLovejoyinOz team and we are moving to petition both the Australian government and the theatres to force them to cancel the tour. You can sign our open letter here

You can read the letter under the cut

Northcote Theatre, Roundhouse Theatre, The Fortitude Music Hall, The Astor Perth

This letter is regarding the performance of the band ‘Lovejoy’ from 27th of August to 3rd September. We do not know if you are aware that William Gold (AKA Wilbur Soot), the lead vocalist and co-songwriter of ‘Lovejoy’ has been accused of abuse by his ex-girlfriend and several of his friends. His behaviour has included perpetuating physical violence, isolating people, abusing the power associated with his online community, and using insects, filth and unsafe living conditions to control behaviour. We cannot stress enough how reprehensible his behaviour has been and his “apology”, if it can even be referred to as such, demonstrated no remorse and a refusal to take accountability for his actions.

By welcoming ‘Lovejoy’ to your venue you are – whether intentionally or not – endorsing Gold’s behaviour. His other employment – as a twitch streamer/entertainer – has given his behaviour more consequences than the country of Australia.

Many of us have been lucky enough to attend concerts at your venue and were planning to continue to attend. However, should this performance go ahead we will be both forced to reconsider further patronage and in touch with local groups supporting women’s advocacy to organise demonstrations against ‘Lovejoy’ and their performance.

Gold's behaviour has been beyond reprehensible and allowing him to perform here says that we support that behaviour and support him as an artist. Violence against women is already so disgusting but allowing someone to simply act as if nothing has happened and to go on with their life consequence free after doing what Gold has done is representative of why abusers get away with their behaviour so easily. It is up to us to ensure that the voices of people who are brave enough to speak out are heard and to demonstrate that we do not want abusers like William Gold in our country.

We are sending you this email, but here will also be

Sincerely,

The #NoLovejoyinOz team

HEY HEY HEY !! TELL ME ABOUT SABLE!! SHAKES U!!! 🚗 CAR — does your oc have a driver's license? can they drive/operate any automobiles/machinery besides cars? 💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know. 🐉 DRAGON — what is your oc's favorite mythical creature? 🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral/questionable traits? ☕️ HOT BEVERAGE — does your oc prefer coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, water, or some other drink? how do they like to take this drink (ex. coffee with milk, hot chocolate with whipped cream, a specific kind of tea, etc)? 😞 DISAPPOINTED FACE — does your oc attract others, or do they tend to be left alone? 🤒 FACE WITH THERMOMETER — does your oc get sick easily?

Answer as many or as few as these as you'd like :3 Heheh

omg i thought i answered this earlier... oh well

🚗- old man CANNOT drive! back in his acting days he used to travel overseas by boat but once on land he's either being driven or relying on his teleporting boyfriend good pal kung lao or raiden

💯- 1.) due to him dying in a fire, hes uneasy around scorpion at best; 2. ) the blonde streaks in his hair only appeared after he died! before his hair was solid brown; 3.) he nests like how sables do (but with blankets and pillows) especially when hes stressed or anxious. he will pull his friends into a nest with him if he feels especially unsafe or panicked.

🐉- hes biased, but ghosts. what can i say. if he had to pick something different though.... maybe vampires? hes got sharp canines too :3

🤍- OOOH this is a good one. 1.) he's extremely prideful, and doesnt take defeat/loss easily. he believed he was the greatest actor in his troupe, and now hes determined to be considered the best fighter in all the realms.; 2.) he can put on a facade. years and years of being an actor has done some damage to his self-projection. especially if hes trying to hide a weakness or anger, he turns into a whole new person. it can be really frustrating. ; 3.) he doesn't know when to stop. whether its training, or teasing someone, or trying to vent his frustrations, he is full speed ahead. he needs someone to tell him when hes taken things too far.

☕️- he likes green tea!! spending time in america also introduced him to the magic of remix coke machines so theyre his guilty pleasure drinks. they will give him a horrible tummy ache though.

😞- despite his flaws, he is at heart an entertainer and he tends to draw people in. hes a bit of a social butterfly!

🤒- nope! due to his weird dual nature thing he has going on, hes still sort of... dead. so it'd have to be some weird magic happening to get him sick.

TYSM THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN TO ANSWER!!!

[mortalityplays]

you know what's a really good example, that's probably just old enough by now to not make anyone mad? all the people who tuned into the alex jones trial with no prior information or context, saw the drama unfolding, and lunged into the idea that his lawyer screwed him over on purpose.

I get why this narrative took off:

people naturally tend to project their own values and worldview onto others, even their ideological enemies. this is why liberals tend to be so diehard about the idea that you can debate someone into being reasonable - because they value rhetorical skill and ideals of impartiality. It would work on them, so they assume it should work on anybody else. Observer hates alex jones, therefore they easily make the leap to think his lawyer hates him too.

very little background information on the lead-up to the trial, who his lawyer was, or what the legal consequences of something like that would be. The trial was such a hot topic at that moment that it was very easy for casual observers to believe they had built up a detailed picture of the situation based only on what people in their in-group had to say about it.

it was already a very dramatic, narratively juicy trial, and was being framed everywhere in comparison to fictional courtroom dramas. The logic of fiction allows for dramatic twists that come out of nowhere, and people who were newly enjoying the trial as entertainment were primed to theorise about it as if there were a writer's room somewhere pulling all the strings (I cannot stress enough how dangerous this is and how many people fall prey to it generally, it is a direct pipeline to 'shadowy elites' thinking)

it would be funny (I mean whom among us)

As far as I know, this narrative didn't have any immediate consequences for individuals who got caught up in it, so it's easy to dismiss it as harmless in hindsight. What I'm trying to get across is that it's not harmless. It normalises a way of framing and metabolising real world events that prioritises emotional impact, which is exactly the mindset alex jones cultivated and profited from his entire career, and the entire reason he was in court in the first place. It's not always about direct harm, sometimes it is about the habits we are absorbing and the patterns we are reproducing as a result.

Sandstorm - Desert Survival: Chapter 4

Location: Desert Characters: Hinata & Kaoru

Hinata: Wow… So that means you got scammed, Hakaze-senpai.

Kaoru: Yeah. Embarrassingly. I guess I let my guard down. I think the old me would be more wary and wouldn’t be that easily deceived, though.

I’ve grown weak. I left Rei-kun to think about all the complicated things, so maybe I’ve developed a habit of forgetting to use my brain.

You always seem like you’re thinking, so you’re probably fine, Hinata-kun. You shouldn’t make a pathetic mistake like me.

Hinata: Well, I am the leader of “2wink”, so there’s a lot I gotta think about.

But that’s just cruel~ That’s a thief right there.

Kaoru: Yeah. But it doesn’t look like there was a penalty, though~ It’s legal here in this desert. It’s the fault of the one being deceived.

Besides, the management even went as far as to only explain the rules to the powerhouse units that they want to win.

Normally, when you encounter another idol, a battle announcement is immediately declared, but there wasn’t any form of contact from them when it ended as well.

The management probably knows that I was cheated of my “Desert Coins”, but they haven’t said anything about it at the moment. This desert is a lawless land.

Since we’re the idols the management wants to be kicked out, they’ll probably ignore us no matter what cruel things come our way.

Looks like the cries of the weak cannot be heard.

Hinata: That’s just awful… But I thought “UNDEAD” was a powerhouse unit. You guys are part of the “incompetent idols” the management wants to kick out?

Kaoru: We haven’t really made much of a name for ourselves out in the world. The management is full of big-shot adults so to them, they probably want the veterans who actually have achievements to their names to be the last ones standing.

It’s either that or maybe it’s because we’re all about “Being radical! Rock’n’roll!”, so they’ve misunderstood and think we’re a bunch of problem children who are always going against them.

Maybe they got rid of us because they think we’ll be hard to use.

Hinata: What~? “UNDEAD” hasn’t been like that at all recently, right?

Kaoru: Yeah. If anything, all we’ve been doing is entertaining the higher-ups since spring. I think we should be seen as obedient kids, though.

Looks like it’s pretty difficult to change the image people have of us at a glance.

If that’s the case, then maybe it might be better if we go on a rampage and fight back like “Crazy:B”.

If no one is going to see us as good children no matter what we do, then why not just be bad kids, right?

But that’s hard to do at this point in time.

After entering high school, I also fooled around to my heart’s content and pretended I was a bad kid, but look how I ended up.

The signs of a good upbringing isn’t something that can disappear easily~ I get less stressed when I’m being honest, good kid, anyway.

I feel like throwing up even if I’m offered a smoke or a drink. Drinking vegetable juice is way better.

Hinata: You’re surprisingly a real earnest honours student, huh.

Kaoru: Ahaha. Oh and there’s one more important thing…

I mentioned the goal of this “SDS” is to steal “Desert Coins”, but it looks like the other way to get them is by winning against other idols in battles.

That’s what it’s like on the outside, though. And if you don’t own any “Desert Coins”, then you can’t trigger any battles.

So even if I encounter other idols, there won’t even be an announcement to signal the start of a battle because I’ve lost all my “Desert Coins”.

Hinata: Oh, so that’s why there hasn’t been an announcement even though we’ve been talking.

Kaoru: Yeah. I don’t want to fight “2wink” so it doesn’t make a difference to me.

The problem lies with the people who deceive others and take their “Desert Coins” – It means there are people who are trying to get “Desert Coins” using other methods aside from the battles.

You never know, there might actually be someone who’s stealing them by beating and threatening others.

Hinata: What…? But you said all our actions are being recorded and will be broadcast later as a show, right?

Everything’s gonna be over for that idol if the public knew they were committing acts of violence. No one would be that reckless, right?

Kaoru: Who knows? It looks like the management isn't punishing the idols they want to advance to the next round, no matter what they do.

They’ll probably edit it and make it so that it never happened.

Those idols can also make an excuse and say they did it because of their “order”.

As long as there isn’t clear footage of them actually committing violent acts, it probably won’t be a huge issue.

There are a lot of protective fans of powerhouse units and the management is on their side, so we’ll most likely be hushed up if we complain about any unfairness.

If anything, we might even be labelled as bad people who’re making false accusations.

Hinata: That’s horrible… Does that mean it’s only the strong that win in the end? So turning the tables around is just another pipe dream?

Kaoru: Who knows? I don’t think the possibility of it is zero. We’ve seen a nobody like “Trickstar” turn the tables around and win over and over, right?

Miracles do happen.

I think all we can do is believe in that and keep trying without giving up. That’s what I’ll be doing.

Anyway, could you give me a couple of your “Desert Coins” as compensation for the explanation?

If I have a couple of coins, I can battle with the other idols. Which will mean I’ll have a chance at turning the tables around.

Hinata: Ohh. So that’s why you were being so nice – That was your goal all this time, huh.

Kaoru: I meant it when I said I didn’t want you guys to end up in any trouble.

That’s why I explained all those things. It’s because I don’t want you to suffer without knowing what’s going on.

Hinata: Well, I suppose I am grateful for that.

Kaoru: Then, it’ll be great if you can turn those grateful feelings into a couple of “Desert Coins” for me. I’ll repay you double afterwards~ Really, I mean it ♪

…It looks like they’ve got one person from every unit here at this “SDS”.

Meaning, it’ll basically be confirmed that “UNDEAD” is eliminated because I was chosen to represent my unit.

Causing trouble for my comrades would feel pretty horrible, right?

When Yumenosaki was the centre of everything, I did nothing but cause trouble for them by ditching, so hearing that from me doesn’t sound very convincing.

But those are my sincere feelings right now.

Hinata: …………

Do you ever think about how insane it is that USA doesn’t have proper evacuation shelters in states that are regularly hit by large scale disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes ? Like Finland has enough bomb shelters for its entire population . Just look at this

Meanwhile USA can’t even be bothered to build some evacuation shelters which will be infinitely cheaper then actual bomb shelters. Why ? Because it’s not that hard to build evacuation shelters that can withstand any hurricane or tornadoes. All you need is a heavy concrete building with its own power and water supply which you can put anywhere because I cannot stress enough how much land the USA government has. Add in a free labour force since you could use the military( which spends its time just being lazy all day when they are not at war ) and people sentenced to public service and you can easily build thousands of shelters each one being able to accommodate thousands or up to tens of thousands of people easily .( to get an idea just imagine a cruise ship. The average cruise ship can hold 3000 people and that’s with all the massive space dedicated to random entertainment shit . Without it it can accommodate 10,000 people for short amount of times easily )

And when there are no disasters these large shelters can be put to various other functions from storage , to placing government offices and agencies within them to housing homeless and so on. It would be easy , incredibly cheap and save a ton of lives and yet the USA is like … I would rather build a trillion dollar stealth plane that doesn’t even work . It’s insane

Easy Android App Crashing, Freezing Working Solutions

Introduction

The digital revolution cannot be complete without mentioning Android devices. They are essential tools which keep us connected, informed and entertained. From our day-to-day leisure activities like listening to music, reading books, or watching movies, these devices make our lives enjoyable. However, these devices do not perfectly suit our needs whenever we use them. We note that even the best performer of these devices can sometimes come across glitches and fails that ruin the smooth experience of user interaction. Have you ever felt a sudden Android app crashing or freezing while using your Android device? Well, you do not experience these disappointing experiences alone. Undoubtedly, these problems are frustrating, but fortunately, they do not require any technical expertise and are easily fixable with some troubleshooting. After reading our article, you will be able to understand and identify the various contributions leading to the misbehaviour of your Android apps. From this, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide that will enable you to sort them out and get your mobile back on track. We will relieve you of the stresses we know you are going through and ensure that you experience a perfect work mobile that is more stable and reliable. Well, there is no need to make any more introductions and move further by beginning the talk about common crashes and freezes of your Android Apps.

 What causes Android App crashing and freezing?  

Android app crashing or freezing during the operations of an application are issues that can cause a significant deterioration in the user experience and a problem we all face every day as we use an application on an Android-based device. This problem results from various sources from enlightening the multi-centric character of mobile environments. These sources include,- Software Bugs: Bugs in codes are one of the leading reasons for apps freezing and crashing. The bugs can lead to issues that can spread across areas like the architecture of an app, memory leaks, unhandled exception errors, and other complex errors like android app development . So, let us look at: - Software version Incompatibility:  As the Android Operating System comes with updates now and then, some apps that are not frequently updated may run with incompatibility issues, which lead to a situation crash. A similar crashing error occurs when you use newer app versions on an older Android Operating System. The changes from updates causing incompatibility issues include; - Hardware Limitations: The hardware constraints result in applications freezing and crashing on Android devices more often than other devices on Windows or IOS software. These limitations can result from several factors, including, - Malware Infection: In simple terms, malware is preventable malicious software developed to corrupt or even destroy computer systems. A regular application freezing or crashing of an application is one of the most likely signs that your device contains malware. So, how does malware affect the performance of your applications? These infections can cause applications to freeze or crash through several disruptive mechanisms, which are, - Restart the Device: A familiar approach is to restart the device. It can help remove software bugs that could be forcing your app to behave abnormally. There are many ways you can restart an Android device. Here is how, - Update the App: Check if the app is running the latest version. The developers often send new updates to address errors and ensure compatibility with the latest versions of Android. You can update your app via the several methods available on your device. They are, (i). Google Play Store: One of the simplest methods many users know when updating Apps is through the Google Play Store. You can do this through the 'My apps & games' option and update the selected app through a button next to it. Moreover, you can opt for Settings to turn on the auto-update feature for all or individual apps. (ii). In-App Updates: Some apps have an in-app update feature that allows them to update. When a newer version is available for download, the feature activates, and then after, your app automatically updates. (iii). APK Files: You can independently install an app without necessarily through the Google Play Store. To set up this method, you need to allow 'Unknown sources' or 'Install unknown apps' on the device management menu so that you can install it from any source other than the Google Play Store.

- Clear App Data and Cache: Clearing the cache of your crashing application may be handy in case of temporary file corruption. If this does not solve your problem, then the Clear Data option will restore the app to its original state, and this may go a long way in solving issues which are hard to detect. To clear App Data and Cache, you can follow these steps. (i). Locate the app you want to clear the cache. (ii). Press and hold your app until the 'App Info' option appears. (ii). Tap on it to direct you to the app information panel and click on storage. To clear the app Cache, tap on clear cache, though it does not delete your app personal info or settings. To clear App data, click on clear storage. It will delete all information in the app, including your info and settings.

- Reinstall the App: Uninstalling and installing your crashing app may solve this issue if the program is improperly installed or has corrupt files. You can do this through your device app and the Google Play Store. - Free Up Storage Space: Storage capability may be an issue that makes an app crash. You should often delete unnecessary and unused applications to create more space. You should have more than 600MB of free space in your device to reduce the occurrence of this error. The Android Operating system will use this free space to run background processes of your applications, thus reducing the chances of freezing and crashing. - Check for Conflicting Apps: If you have any third-party application running on your device, it could be the source of your problem. This kind of apps can cause other apps to malfunction. To identify a third-party app on your device, boot it on safe mode. If the crashing app runs well in safe mode, consider deleting the recently installed apps. - Factory Reset: If the problem persists, this should be your final option. It is because factory resetting your Android device will erase all your phone data. Before performing this function, ensure you back up the data you need. 

Conclusion

In conclusion, APP crashing and freezing are some of the problems that are frequently to be met by Android users. Nevertheless, they are not very complex to overcome with the help of this approach. This way, users will know how to fix problems like having old software, a corrupted cache, or having low memory resources to improve the performance and efficiency of their respective devices.Updating apps and operating systems is very important since developers create patches for the application and improve the current performance. To my understanding, there are various ways of dealing with the apps and clearing the cache and data is one of the most effective ways since it educates all the temporary files that may be causing the corruption of the apps. If the problems continue, one solution that may help is to remove the application which caused the issues and install it anew.The task of rebooting the device is brief and unobtrusive but is an effective solution for different marginal software-related errors. When dealing with chronic problems, the availability of space on the device and handling of running backgrounds can eliminate congestion that causes halting of the device.In this way, users can keep the experience of an application and, in general, less problematic during its use. One of the best ways to avoid these common problems is to take regular care and precautions like proper storage and being aware of updates. In other words, being ahead of the game with devices will benefit your Android apps greatly to provide your users with a smooth experience and avoid troubles. Read the full article

There are two young children in my life and in addition to everything said above I would also add that irrespective of parenting style, as an adult your duty of care and responsibility is always to the child or children present, not the parents. That means that if you see something messed up, say something. Either to the parent(s) or to someone else who can help.

There's a prevailing attitude that commenting on someone else's parenting or on the welfare of someone's child is largely taboo and that doing so is a huge overstep. It's not true. Obviously there's no need to be rude or judgemental but if you have a friend who is a parent that's struggling it's your responsibility to pull them aside when the kid is not around and ask what's up and if you can help. It really does take a village, truly.

My roommate is going thru a messy breakup and has their kid here a few times a month, sometimes over night. My partner and I noticed that this child, who is not quite four years old, was showing up to our house unwashed, no tooth or hair brush, no change of clothes or toys to play with. My roommate has no idea how to interact with children, gets frustrated super easily and will beg and plead w their kid to listen. Which doesn't work that well and they they get grabby and loud.

My partner and I stepped in quietly at first to help make food, wash, and entertain this kid. Then we had to have a talk w my roommate about the grabbing and the pleading. Then finally this poor child revealed their other parent (not my roommate) hits them, so we had no choice but to call cas and file a report.

If we had just left my roommate to do everything herself because "it's not our place to comment on or interfere with someone else's parenting" then we wouldn't have known about the even worse stuff going on for this child outside of our home.

I cannot stress enough how much we need to advocate for children's safety and how much it needs to take precedence over everyone's ego and any perceived social faux pas. Look up signs of abuse in children, including children soothing or managing a parents emotions/emotional state and rapid, intense attachment to friendly adults who aren't their parent(s). If the family is white, don't be afraid to call your local CAS/CPS and ask for advice (as confronting the parents can make it worse for the child, especially if they've confided in you and that is revealed to the parent). You don't have to give your name or any identifying information if you don't want to. If the family is not white, research and reach out to local organizations relating to that family's culture or background, i.e. don't call cas on an Indigenous family, there are specific supports and resources for Native folks to access safe and culturally relevant care.

Anyway tl;dr child safety over parental authority, always and forever. And remember, if a child confides something to you, whether they mean to or not, they are asking for help.

a friend of mine is a science educator. not a classroom teacher - he does the kind of programs you see in museums, fun experiments with lasers and dry ice and shit.

yesterday, a young girl asked him why he was allowed to pour liquid nitrogen all over his own arm but he didn’t want her doing it. I braced myself for some dumb “well I’m an adult so I’m allowed” non-answer, but instead he surprised me by giving some of the best science (and life) advice I think you can give a young person:

“well, it’s one of those rules designed to keep you safe. and following the rules really can help you stay safe, but they’re not perfect. sometimes, usually because they’re too simple, the rules let you do things that aren’t safe, or don’t let you do things that are safe if you know how to do them. one of the reasons I’m good at what I do as a scientist is I try to understand how things work so I can figure out my own rules for keeping myself safe. and sometimes my rules are little more complicated than what I might hear from other people, but they work better for me. like, I let myself play with liquid nitrogen, but only in really specific ways that I’ve spent time practicing. you should follow the rules you’re given at first, but if you take the time to understand how things work, maybe you can make your own, better rules.”

I loved this response. it’s a great encapsulation of two really important things I think people need to learn and re-learn all the time: on the one hand, listen to genuine authority figures; when someone knows more than you about a subject, don’t treat their expertise as “just another opinion” and act like your ignorance is just as good as their knowledge. but on the other hand, don’t obey anything or anyone blindly. recognize that rules and systems and established ideas are never perfect. question things, educate yourself, question things more.

and then, of course, a parent had to butt in and spoil this wonderful lesson by saying:

“but not the rules mom comes up with!”

everyone in the room laughed. except me. I gave her a death glare I’m pretty sure she didn’t notice.

because no. no. your rules are not above reproach if you’re a parent. the thing about the dictates of genuine authority figures - people who deserve to have power, and to have their positions respected - is that they are open to question. genuine authority figures are accountable. governments can be petitioned and protested and recalled. doctors must respect patients’ right to a second opinion. journalists have jobs terminated and credentials revoked if they fail to meet standards of integrity and diligence. scientists, to bring us back full circle, spend their entire careers trying to disprove their own hypotheses! you know who insists on being treated as infallible? megalomaniacal dictators, that’s who. oh, and parents.

I’m beyond sick and tired of this “my house my rules, this family is not a democracy, I want my child to think critically and stand up for themselves except to me ha ha” bullshit. my friend gave this kid the kind of advice that doesn’t just help people become good scientists - if enough people adopt the mentality he put forth to that girl, that’s the kind of advice that helps societies value knowledge and resist totalitarianism. and her mother shut it down because, what, she didn’t want to deal with the inconvenience of having someone question her edicts about whose job it is to wash the dishes on Mondays?

we already know you’re more likely to be a Trump supporter if you’re an authoritarian parent - and that this is a stronger predictor of your views on the current president than age, religiosity, gender, or race. I’ll say this another way in case you didn’t catch the full meaning: people who believe in the absolute, unquestionable authority of parents are more than two and a half times as likely to support Trump as people who don’t, and that’s just among Republicans. we can’t afford to treat the oppressive treatment of children or the injustice of ageist power structures in our society as a sideshow issue any longer. the mentality that parents should be treated by their children as beyond reproach and above dispute is a social cancer that has metastasized into the man currently trying to destroy the foundations of democracy in this country.

in short: parents, get the hell over yourselves before you get us all killed. and kids, learn as much as you can, and then make your own rules.
