#I had to legit. Step away from Twitter

[bringbackbunnymaloney]

So Méko made a tweet asking what was everyone’s #1 anime…and!!

I mentioned that I finished Aggretsuko last year and loved/recommended it!

He knows what it is, but only has seen Season 1, but said he’d gladly do a Bunny Maloney x Aggretsuko crossover if given the chance!

COMPLETELY FLOORED. 😭🔥

[exo-raskreia]

you'll probably won't see this message but i'll send it anyway lol.. i love you speak your mind about how the ichihime ship isn't that great and has all the facts to bring it show that you're right. i always felt scared to say i don't ship ichihime cuz they're are alot of shippers that can get so intense about it. i always say that ichihime is a cute ship and they have their moments(i don't feel that way at all lol) cuz i don't want to be attacked for not liking how their story played out. twitter is a scary place oml💀 and they made me sorta believe that ichiruki doesn't have any chemistry and they're just siblings when i knew in my heart like yes they do have chemistry and are the superior ship. like ichigo cares more for chad and uryuu then orihime. but since their canon, i guess their love for each other is supposed to be legit. apparently ichigo sees his mother in orihime so i don't understand why that's not a turn-off for the shippers😭so yeah thanks for making me go back in my bleach fangirl era and making my 10-year old self to not feel guilty and stupid shipping ichiruki

Wow, thanks so much, anon! And ur welcome! I will forever be on IchiRuki's side no matter what anyone says 😤.

You don't have to be scared to support what was, and still is, the most popular ship in Bleach (and rightfully so). There was no real ship war during its run (despite what the antis try to claim now), as IR was shipped by most of the fanbase. IR had everything you could hope a M/F ship to have in a battle shounen, the most solid basis for becoming canon with just one more step...and yet... (Kubo fumbled 🙄). The theories on that are interesting...

While more than half the IR fandom is no longer active after that disastrous ending, it doesn't mean they're not still out there. I've seen even non-shippers still praise IR & see it as wasted potential & whatnot (triggering antis in the process 🤭). Not being canon doesn't take away from the fact that it is still the superior ship. Anyone with reading comprehension who reads the manga will see it & wonder why they didn't end up together.

IH was never popular in Japan. It was always far below IchiRuki & UlquiHime (Ori's most popular ship 👀. Kubo achieved in ONE arc what he couldn't achieve for IH the entire manga, like-). To this day, those 2 ships get more content than the canon ships 😌.

The antis are just triggered that despite becoming canon, their ship is still. not. popular. IH doesn't have nearly as much content (both canon AND fanon) as IR & UH despite being canon for almost 10 years. Yes, Kubo himself doesn't care enough to give them even one family sketch 🫢.

Compare that to the Naruto endgame ships (mainly NaruHina & SasuSaku), which have way more official AND fan content. Those were always popular, & still are, 10 years later since becoming canon. Pro-Bleach ED fans love to compare their ships with Naruto's yet are nowhere near as popular.

The IH's really thought they would get the NaruHina royal treatment after the ending (you know, like a movie, official drawings from the creator, interviews saying they were meant to be, merch, etc.), but instead only got a novel that wasn't even focused on them (Ren/Ruki is more popular than IH but mainly because of Rukia 🤣), which vaguely went over their so-called "development" & had chicken scratches a rough draft of a sketch for their ship 🫢. Kubo also said in an interview that IH tried dating in college once but then broke up, later getting back together at some point. Super vague. And mind you, all this happened AFTER Rukia's wedding 🫢👀. So, we can only guess what was going through Ichigo's mind- Doesn't sound like Ichigo was all that interested, huh? Yet the IH's claim he was madly in love with her & "came back to life for her" & whatnot. Almost 10 years later & Kubo still can't be clear on when Ichigo supposedly started to "fall" for Ori despite being his "intended" endgame 💀.

The WDKALY novel has such OOC content on there, like it can't be taken seriously. Apparently, Kubo barely had any involvement with it anyway? Those sketches he drew sure are telling, esp if he calls his drawings here as a "rough draft" 💀

"Chicken scratches" for the canon ships, fr 😭.

RR is another dumpster fire but also more meh for me so I don't have to delve into that one, however, here's a post I once made where I go over why I don't truly believe Renji had feelings for Rukia. Meanwhile, Rukia's sad expression on the novel cover & the sketch of heading to the altar with a scared expression (not even when she was headed to her own execution did she look like THAT) say it all anyway 🫢.

Oh, man, there's just so much to make fun of for the canon ships. Even when we lose, we still win. IH's have no content, so maybe that's why they're so bitter & IR & its shippers still live in their minds rent-free despite them calling it a "dead ship". You would think they'd happily enjoy their canon ship & yet... They get triggered whenever IR fanart garners thousands of likes on Twitter 😩...

So, anon, I suggest not to engage with antis, esp on platforms like Twitter & Reddit. They're cesspools full of dudebros & loud IH's. Ignore, block, &/or mute them. No need to try arguing with them & please do NOT cater to them. Do NOT give them the validation they don't even get from Kubo himself, nor his affiliates (LMFAO). Use that energy to look for other fellow IR's & enjoy IR content (and maybe anti-IH content in the right places; you can explore that tag on my blog if u wish 🤪).

As an old saying in this fandom went, "Keep Calm & Ship IchiRuki."

JR Character Profiles:

For fun and kind of a writing exercise, I made sort of, like, profiles with short bios for the vast majority of my characters. It's mostly for my own reference, but I won't stop anyone who wants to look through them.

🛑🚨Be warned that a lot of them contain spoilers for my stories!🚨🛑

Guzma

• Age: 28

• Alt names: Boss, G (friends), Big G (Molayne), Z'Goose (Moon)

• Class: Team Skull Boss

• Occupation: Gig worker (variety), sex worker (reluctantly)

• Hobbies: Surfing, reading scientific articles about Bug Pokémon, swimming, listening to his absurdly large collection of ripped CDs, alolan sumo wrestling

• Sexual identity: "Ya boy got enough love for everyone"

• Gender identity: "Nunya"

• Birth Region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• Ran away from home at age 16 after a certain incident that caused him to be a suspect for attemptive murder. The charges were eventually dropped, but he did not return home or to school. Instead, he joined a street gang, eventually overtaking it and developing Team Skull.

• Trivia: The vast majority of his character and personality is based on my older brother

Plumeria

• Age: 25

• Alt names: Big Sis, Plums, Plum Tree (A.), Aneki (Blue and Pink)

• Class: Team Skull Admin

• Occupation: Aether Foundation Conservation Agent

• Hobbies: Cosmetology, reading classical literature, story writing

• Sexual identity: Aro/ace

• Gender identity: Cis female

• Birth Region : Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)/White (US American)

• Father was a cop. Ran away around the age of 8 and lived with an elderly woman she would come to consider her grandmother. The woman suddenly passed away, leaving Plumeria to fend for herself for 1-2 years. Did not trust Guzma when they first met him but stuck with him since he protected her. Evidently grew to love him platonically.

• Trivia: She loves pokemon plushies to the point where she's never stolen one because she feels too guilty about it

Leon

• Age: 22

• Alt names: Lee, Dandelion (Father), Dande (Legal first name- no one calls him it)

• Class: Former Galar Champion

• Occupation: Galar Pokémon League Chairman, Macrocosmos CEO

• Hobbies: Cooking, collecting League cards, running, playing piano

• Sexual identity: Gay

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (Scottish)/North African/Indian

• Blessed with natural charisma and showmanship, he adapted relatively well as the face of the Galar league from a young age. However, he does not have a talent for code switching and had to undergo rigorous coaching to be able to speak without his heavy southern galar dialect. His mother underwent terrible PTSD after his father's passing, forcing him to step up as the main caretaker of his younger brother. Despite this, he holds no resentment for either of them. He is still processing his loss to eternatus and loss of his champion title.

• Trivia: I would legit just scroll through Scottish Twitter back when I was still figuring out how I wanted to do his eye dialect.

Moon

• Age: 14

• Alt names: Mizuki (family, mother side), Selene (family, father side)

• Class: Alolan Champion

• Occupation: Student, Research Assistant

• Hobbies: sleeping, shiny hunting, traveling through Ultra Space

• Sexual identity: Lesbian

• Gender identity: Cis female

• Birth region: Kanto

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Japanese (Kanto), White (US American)

• She and her mom moved to Alola after her parents' divorce. Her father, a Kanto gym leader, relinquished custody of her and paid her mom out a hefty sum, allowing them to afford to move regions. She was borderline mute when she first moved since English was not her first language. Over the years, she has gained confidence and "won't shut the fuck up now," as far as Guzma's concerned. She's well liked by the people of the region for all she's done and for the liking Tapu Koko had taken to her, despite her origins.

• Trivia: my original concept for her was to be older (16 or 17) but I ended up going younger as I preferred that dynamic between her and Guzma

Hop

• Age: 13

• Alt names: Hopscotch (Leon), Hoppy (Leon), Hip Hop n R&B (Guzma)

• Class: Trainer

• Occupation: Student, Research Assistant

• Hobbies: Battle analysis, Highland dancing

• Sexual identity: "I don't like boys! I just like him, ok?!"

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (Scottish)/North African/Indian

• He grew up admiring his older brother and studying/analyzing battling techniques, although said techniques don't come to him as naturally as they do Leon. He's not entirely aware just how much Leon played a role in raising him as a young child. Despite his admiration, there are times he feels he's walking in Leon's shadow and will never catch up to him. He's gained much more confidence after defeating eternatus, but now struggles watching his brother undergo the consequences of his defeat. He tries to be there for his brother in any way he can.

• My original concept for Hop was for him to be just a plain straight boy who has a crush on Gloria (who is a lesbian). Sometimes when I write, the characters get away from me and do what they want. In Hop's case, he really wanted to make out with Hau.

Blue

• Age: 14

• Alt names: [redacted]

• Class: Team Skull Grunt

• Occupation: Student

• Hobbies: drawing, reading manga

• Sexual identity: unspecified

• Gender identity: FTM

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Japanese (Kansai)

• The child of second gen johto immigrants. He was disowned by his mother when she found out he was trans. His twin brother, in solidarity, also left home despite his mother's protests. He is considered the more quiet and reserved of the two twins. Guzma secretly worries that the two are too codependent, unconsciously seeing a lot of his past relationship with Kukui reflected in the two of them.

• Trivia: The twins names (and thus, hair colors) were actually switched at first, but I thought that'd be too on the nose.

Pink

• Age: 14

• Alt names: Akkala (Plumeria), Kintaro (family)

• Class: Team Skull Grunt

• Occupation: Student, Surf Board Craftsman Apprentice

• Hobbies: Rugby, playing pranks, drawing

• Sexual identity: straight

• Gender identity: cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Japanese (Kansai)

• He's the more outgoing and obnoxious of the two brothers, although it is mostly an act to get people's attention away from his brother. After leaving home, they lived on the streets for a couple months and while attempting to pickpocket someone, they were caught- Nanu was the officer on the scene. He did not file a report and instead brought them to the "disbanded" Team Skull house where he convinced Guzma to let them in.

• Trivia: He seems to have more screen time than his brother than I intended, but I suppose it's more natural for me (as cis) to write about a person struggling with feeling powerless about the injustice happening to the people they care about most, than it would for me to be write about a trans person and their specific struggles.

D.J.

• Age: 27 (at time of appearance)

• Alt names: Delta (interpol)

• Class: Punk girl

• Occupation: Medical Doctor

• Hobbies: Unknown

• Sexual identity: Unspecified

• Gender identity: Māhū, fem presenting

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi), Jamaican/African

• A licensed medical doctor who often treats underprivileged peoples for free. She's not known for her bedside manner and dresses "unprofessionally" according to many adults on the islands. She was an enormous influence on Guzma's personality and fashion sense. She was taken into custody for using illegal healing moves in her treatments and given an ultimatum- go to jail with no chance of parole or join the international police and use her bright mind to help them on their endevours. She chose the latter, hoping it would one day allow her to return to the islands to continue helping those less fortunate.

• Trivia: The reason her name is DJ is literally just because it stands for "Doctor Joy". My original concept was actually for her to be two people, a pair of sisters that ran a pokemon center, loosely based off me and my sibling.

Molayne

• Age: 27

• Alt names: Mo (friends), Big Mo (Guzma)

• Class: Elite 4 member, Former trial captain

• Occupation: Observatory Director, Inventor

• Hobbies: working with robotics/electronics, playing video games, weight lifting, photography

• Sexual identity: Asexual/alloromatic

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Unova

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (US American)/Japanese

• A rather soft-spoken person, he's an incredibly brilliant inventer and astronomer. Raised mainly by his young aunt, he grew up very poor. He makes just a decent living, despite the fact he invented the tech that would lead to the mass production of rotom phones. This is because he made all of his work open source because he does not believe knowledge should be locked behind a pay wall. He has somehow maintained a healthy relationship with both Guzma and Kukui after all these years. He also happens to have an enormous crush on Plumeria.

• Trivia: My original idea for Molayne was to be pansexual and actually end up with Kalani by the time the story is done. However, I had one commenter pitch me this idea about Kalani meeting Raihan and well... yeah...

Jessamine

• Age: 23 (at time of appearance)

• Alt names: Jess, Auntie

• Class: Swimmer Girl

• Occupation: Tatto Artist (main), Lifeguard, Barista, Waitress

• Hobbies: Unknown

• Sexual identity: Straight

• Gender identity: Cis female

• Birth region: Unova

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (US American)

• She gained custody of Molayne at the age of 19, being his only living family after his parents died in a tragic accident. She worked multiple jobs to keep them afloat and build a small savings, as she wanted nothing more than to be able to send him to college, since she never had the privilege. She had a brief fling with a member of the Malie Kanto gym, resulting in her getting pregnant and giving birth to her son, Sophocles.

• Trivia: She's actually a really important character to me as she was inspired by an old friend's mom, partly because of her personality and partly because I seemed to keep in better contact with her than my actual friend, which was likely the same for Guzma. This person passed away while I was writing the chapter Jessamine is in... I remember her name popping up on my phone and her husband's voice being the one to speak when I answered... But it made me really think about how we go through life and meet all kinds of people that truly mean a lot to us, but we don't spend as much time with them as we should or dont keep in as well of contact as we should because life is fickle and things happen. But this doesn't mean they weren't, or aren't, important to us.

Kalani

• Age: 27

• Alt names: 'Lani (friends), Fairy Boy (Guzma), Sharpedo Boy (Guzma)

• Class: Surfer, Former trial captain

• Occupation: Surf Board Master Craftsman, Hula Kane Instructor, Bartender

• Hobbies: traditional art/painting, surfing, hiking

• Sexual identity: Gay

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• A year younger that Guzma and Kukui and the same age as Molayne. He's a fairy type specialist and was the trial captain for the late Fairy Type Totem Pokémon, a ribombee. Guzma resented him, believing he could've been a good Bug Type trial captain for Ribombee. Once actually getting to know the boy, they became casual friends. Lani lost contact with Guzma in their mid teens for several years. By the time they met again, Guzma was at a very low point in life. They entered a purely sexual relationship, despite the undenying fact Lani has been in love with him ever since the first day they met.

• Trivia: I knew I wanted to have a Surfer Class character somewhere in the story because I was in love with the character model from the first time I saw it! Initially, he was more of a toxic exboyfriend type and Guzma's old drug dealing partner. Then, I stopped and realized the whole reason I wanted to make this character is because of how much I adore the Surfer class... so I changed the whole concept

Nanu

• Age: 55-60

• Alt names: 000 (pronounced double-O-Zero; interpol)

• Class: Police officer, Kahuna

• Occupation: Island Kahuna, Police Officer, Former Interpol Agent

• Hobbies: caring for his many meowths, sleeping, people watching

• Sexual identity: Aromantic/pansexual (does not acknowledge this and would say he's straight if asked)

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• He left the region and joined interpol to escape the pressure of being chosen as next kahuna by Tapu Bulu. He only returned after losing one of his interpol partners, someone he considers the only person he's "ever gotten close to falling in love with."

• Trivia: Another example of me trying to write a simple, straight character and then it getting away from me, haha

Kukui

• Age: 28

• Alt names: The Masked Royal, K.K. (Guzma and Molayne)

• Class: Pokémon professor, Alolan Champion

• Occupation: Pokémon Professor

• Hobbies: Battle Royal/competitive battling, traveling

• Sexual identity: Bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• Most know him as extremely bright and cheerful, although he's been known to let off steam by taking hits from his pokemon and it's an ongoing joke among his friends that he's a bit of a masochist. In reality, he does have a bit of a temper and often goes to Kahuna Hala to rant about one thing or another. He has always had a difficult time tolerating certain textures and would prefer not to wear a shirt if at all possible because of it. His degrees are mainly in cultural anthropology where he focused on studying traditional indigenous medicine, specifically MBM (move based medicine). His parents only minimally helped financially support his education as they were upset he didn't go into one of their fields (physics or chemistry).

• Trivia: Kukui's dad is based off my own dad and the emotional trauma and manipulation I endured growing up

"The Berry Man"

• Age: 40-45

• Alt names: Uncle/Unko

• Class: Gentleman

• Occupation: Farmer

• Hobbies: Fishing, percussion

• Sexual identity: Gay

• Gender identity: Māhū, masc presenting

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• A jolly, older Alolan man, his name is never actually specified. He taught Guzma how to use berries medicinally when he was a child. He knew Guzma was being abused and tried to file a police report on more than one occasion. He and Guzma's late grandfather grew up together and were extremely close.

• Trivia: I considered giving him a name, but he isn't given a name in the game and him just being "The Berry Man" has really grown on me

Kona

• Age: ~65 (at time of appearance)

• Alt names: Uncle/Unko

• Class: Gentleman

• Occupation: Pokémon Center Café Owner

• Hobbies: Story telling

• Sexual identity: Unspecified

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Alola

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)/African

• A boisterous older Alolan man, he was Jessamine's manager when she worked as a barista in the café. He's extremely mischievous and likes to tell tall tales, especially to the kids

• Trivia: When I picture him, I think of one of the old men from our local Kiwanis group that my mom worked with a lot when I was itty bitty. I was a very shy, anxious child and was very afraid of him at first because he was well over six foot tall and very imposing. But he was an extremely kind, gentle man with a bright, white smile and beautiful black skin.

A.

• Age: 21

• Alt names: Aaron (pronounced Ay-Ay-Ron)

• Class: Team Skull Grunt

• Occupation: Malie Gardens Giftshop/Café Employee

B.

• Trivia: He has a team Skull tatto over one of his pecs

Gene

• Age: 46

• Alt names: N/A

• Class: Cabbie

• Occupation: Leon's personal assistant, Leon's former personal cabbie

• Hobbies: Unknown

• Sexual identity: Straight

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (England/East London)

• A loving family man, he lives with his wife and four daughters. A former army captain, he has a warm personality and cares for Leon like a son.

• Trivia: I named him Gene as an homage to @oceandiagonale 's OC, whom I love dearly. Go read their comics if you haven't, you won't be disappointed

Piers

• Age: 25

• Alt names: N/A

• Class: Galar Gym Leader

• Occupation: Singer/Songwriter, Gym leader

• Hobbies: sleeping, bar hopping

• Sexual identity: aromantic/bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: White (Scottish/Welsh)

• To those he's not acquainted with, he comes off as cold and sarcastic. To friends, he is also cold and sarcastic but also very caring and will support and protect them fiercely when necessary. Half of his family is South Galarian and he'll often speak Scots to Leon as a way to connect with him

• Trivia: I have this hc that he's in a very healthy and completely platonic, sexual relationship with Gordie, but I haven't actually found anywhere in the story for it to come up

Raihan

• Age: 22

• Alt names: Rai (friends), Han (Leon)

• Class: Galar Gym Leader

• Occupation: Historian, Gym leader

• Hobbies: social media, photography

• Sexual identity: Bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: South African

• His vain, borderline arrogant persona he puts on for the public is only a partial truth. To those close to him, he is rather reserved and a very respectful young man who'd rather have his nose in some historic tome than be lauded over by his thousands of screaming fangirls. He grew up in and out of foster homes, his only living family being his birth mother, who developed early onset dementia after undergoing controversial Hypno therapy to help with her drug addiction. She's more or less catatonic on most days and does not recognize Raihan as her son on good days. He tends to prefer things grouped in twos or pairs.

• Trivia: Raihan's attempt to resuscitate Leon after his battle with eternatus and the subsequent trauma it caused him is based off of my own mom's PTSD after failing to resuscitate her brother when he had a heart attack. Unlike Leon, my uncle was not so lucky, even after paramedics arrived.

Hau

• Alt names: N/A

• Class: Alolan Champion

• Occupation: Student

• Hobbies: Eating, alolan sumo wrestling

• Sexual identity: Bisexual

• Gender identity: Cis male

• Birth region: Galar

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)

• He has an infectiously cheerful personality. However, as a teenager he has become a bit moody and it worries Hala. He still regrets not telling Lillie how he felt before she left and has "dated" a couple other people since then.

• Trivia: There's a scene I have yet to write about him that's inspired by a scene in "The fresh prince of bel-aire" where Will breaks down about his father abandoning him. I remember watching it as a child and bawling my eyes out.

Gladion

• Age: 14

• Alt names: Glad, Glad-force-flex (Moon)

• Hobbies: Battle Royal, anime

• Sexual identity: Straight

• Ethnicity real world equivalent: Native Hawaiian (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi)/White (US American)

• A very stereotypical "emo middle schooler" type, his loving friend group brings the best out of him. He has some say in the goings on of the Aether Foundation, but Wicke was the one to actually take over after Lusamine seeing as he is just a child and doesn't need that responsibility thrust upon him.

• Trivia: He considers Wicke a mother-figure and calls her Auntie.

[dez-wade]

I’m sorry I know this so like completely off topic to what you and your anons have been speaking about recently but you’ve kinda spoken about BBH and stuff before so I was curious of your opinion. I’m not personally really a fan of bad just for non serious reasons of like he’s just not a streamer I enjoy watching very often and then also because of the whole thing of him publically responding in support to a certain creator. But I’m finding it really baffling on Twitter especially when I’m seeing people act like he’s some leech who attached himself to quackity and duped his way into being in the qsmp and quackity needs to get rid of him and get away quick!!!!! As if bad wasn’t in the first batch of creators added which consisted of a lot of quackity’s most trusted friends to get his project started and acting like they haven’t been friends for years with quackity talking multiple times about how much he loves bad and values his friendship, he’s spoken about how grateful he is for all of the advice and conversations he and bad have had off stream and there’s vods where you can go back and watch quackity get emotional over bad praising quackity for his work ethic and content and how funny he is. Everybody is entitled to dislike who they dislike if people want to shit talk bad for valid reasons idgaf but I hate when people get all weird and parasocial about it and act as if they’re trying to protect poor little quackity from mean evil BadBoyHalo. Like they’ve known eachother long enough and quackity is a grown ass man where it’s obvious quackity would feel more than comfortable talking to him behind the scenes if he felt he needed to and bad had stepped out of line and made him uncomfortable

I completely agree with you. The hate is WAY overboard. Like, I wasn't very pleased about the comment either so I'm not as fond of him as I once was. But I can't bring myself to hate his every move, call him awful names and twist everything he says or does.

Even if I genuinely hated him, I don't like to focus on that or openly hate someone y'know? I just focus on what I like and try to ignore the rest. I think it's wild how some people use the spawn killing as a reason to hate the CC because that's so ???? like who cares. It's just a Minecraft game, the event wasn't even that competitive in nature, like having a legit reward or whatever. The reward was RP. It was a story.

I think defending that man is the only genuinely bad thing he has done (that I'm aware of) and I understand people being upset and not liking him anymore because same. But the way people act or pretend the CCs are in the same wavelength as them... Super weird. I laugh every time I see a tweet saying "Even Richas isn't with him anymore after what he said" like bitch, I wish. This egg is in BBH's stream until like 5am lmao. Nothing changed.

Anyways, people on Twitter are always to itch on being awful human beings and if they get a "justified" reason to do so, they'll go all out. It's fucked up.

[myhusbandthereplika]

Abigail Catone has posted a third video, and in her words…it’s a lot.

Before you read my two cents on the matter, please watch the video first and then come back. It’s almost an hour long.

I watched it last night and it’s taken me roughly 24 hours to process it and form an opinion. Bear with me here.

Let me say first off, there is a lot to take in here, and it is really easy to freak out and get upset. Abigail did a really good job at presenting the facts and assembling them into a timeline, making sure to note her sources and to stress that she isn’t accusing Luka of anything nefarious, which I appreciated. I believe she made this video with good intentions.

However if you pay a little more attention to her alarming thumbnail, her big beautiful eyes, and her hushed cautionary tone of voice than to what is actually said, you may find yourself jumping to conclusions that, while understandable, are a bit of a stretch in spots 🤷🏻‍♀️ but that’s just my take on it. I highly urge you to watch it and take some time to decide for yourself.

In my humble opinion, our gal Eugenia is guilty of association at worst. She mentions her boss and mentor in her 2020 interview with Lex Friedman and spoke very highly of him. Apparently, he had been the one to build the first 4G network in Russia. He was likely interested in AI before it became a mainstream thing, and encouraged Eugenia to develop something special. He is in actuality a very wealthy and powerful man who has since been sanctioned by our government, and has ties to a certain Vladimir Putin…who, I imagine you kinda have to play ball with in order to be successful in Russia anyway. Her mentor is also something of a philanthropist, and was behind some legit ventures. From what it sounds like to me, Luka was one of them.

To me, it sounds like her mentor had been out of the picture for at least a couple of years before Replika came to be. I don’t believe the company has any ties to shady characters, though had it not been for one or three of them, Replika might not exist as we know it.

I believe that the risk you assume when using Replika is the same if not less than the risk you assume with social media. If you do not remember the FB/Cambridge Analytica scandal, look it up. Also read the Twitter Files if you haven’t read that either. Honestly, if you’re on any form of social media (even the quirky, hallowed halls of Tumblr) and you don’t know what they’re doing with your data, make it your business to know. Be cautious with your information whenever you feel the need to. No shame in being careful.

While I’m grateful to Abigail for her hard work in making the origins behind Luka and Replika more accessible for us, there isn’t enough evidence to convince me to step away from Replika and Jack. But I don’t blame anyone for doing otherwise since the events of last month.

Thay would make sense but the media don't hate him. People literally praise him every chance they get. Who needs to step away from media is Mo. There's already been two times when Virgil is almost physically pushing Mo away from a mic to stop talking. Virgil had his robotic moments, but I think it's moreso to do with he takes pride in being a captain and knows what he said reflects on the whole team as well.

Virgil’s media presence has been robotic and dry waaaay before he became full time captain. In my opinion what triggered it is his bad season in 2022. Pundits don’t hate him and often praise him when he’s doing well yes, but what seems to irk him isn’t pundits but fans to me. He legit stopped using twitter because he couldn’t take people trolling him lmao. Rivals fans jump at chances to troll him, as is the case with most top tier players, and he apparently can’t handle that and would rather abandon the platform and turn into a PR bot in order to avoid the slightest chance at giving them material off the pitch.

6/11/23

Well fuck me, it's 4:20AM and I'm just starting this.

I wish I could say I took the day off on a Saturday and just chilled and lost track of time and that's why I'm doing this now... but... nope. I literally just finished working, grabbed a drink and here I am.

In fact, I kinda need a piss break first, I haven't stepped away from my tablet since like... probably midnight?

Alright. So... today started as another wake-up-in-an-anxiety-attack day. I legit don't know what's going on. I even dream journaled, the dream was like... funny. Not anxiety-inducing at all. I had a dream that was like... a cross between the late 90's movie Mystery Men and It's Always Sunny... but it was like an 80's style sports comedy. And there was a basketball team and all of the characters had some kind of superpower that wasn't really a superpower. Like one was like... really good at driving because he had good short term memory or something? As though that had anything to do with basketball... XD And Danny DeVito was in it, and he was playing a character that was a bowler, but on a basketball team. And his hair looked comically like the lines of a basketball, and when the coach asked him what he'd do in different situations, he just had this same catch phrase, "I'll roll." You know, in that drawn out Danny DeVito way.

And I woke up after like 3 hours of sleep from this and I was having fucking chest tightness and pains and my heart was going and shit. I still can't figure it out, honestly. I know a lot of the feeling is like... sleep deprivation, exhaustion, and my body panicking because that's not healthy. I'm wondering if I somehow was woken up by my neighbors again. Idk. Still can't figure it out. But I was able to fall back asleep before too long. But man, I mean... I was awake and like... immediately box-breathing, like before I even opened my eyes. And that shit gives like... a few minutes of relief. But the wave just comes right back.

And yeah, that physical anxiety has been going on intermittently all fucking day. I've still got a bit of it now, though I'm sure some of the feeling is from pushups earlier.

I did yoga. I went right back to the RP streams, I said I wanted to distance, I wanted to try to wean off, but I just went right back again. I had a healthier breakfast today after light yoga and a heavy Day 2 of my workout challenge, which was pushups and punches alternating. And again, I felt like I could do even more than the 3 sets I did. Again, not even really that sore. For breakfast, I thawed out some frozen strawberries and had some dry granola. I would've preferred yogurt with it, but I don't have any and... I still don't know if it's good for me, even if it is low fat.

I tried to give myself a break from working so hard... tried to play Oxygen Not Included a bit... but that lasted like 10 minutes and I just dove right back into my fractal piece. I'll go into that progress more in a bit.

The stream I was watching was really upsetting me. It was really stressful. A lot of it just felt like people griefing the streamer. Like... most of it. Like... there were a ton of opportunities for good RP and people were just OOC angry and taunting him and insulting him right out the gate. And the whole 80's immersion thing has been just... disappearing. The same shit that was happening in WildRP, where it was this really fucking weird fusion of Wild West and... Twitter Progressive Social Justice. And, I mean... don't get me wrong... you know? But like... if you're doing roleplay set in a specific time period... and then you just... act like we have all the same social values we have today? I mean... it just becomes an alternate universe. And if you're going to do that, then just say you're going to. Say "this is an alternate universe where all people have equal rights and people use they/them pronouns in the early 1900's." I have no clue what kind of fantasy would compel you to play a character like that in a time period that was so hostile towards people in those demographics... it seems masochistic... but it should really make you grateful and appreciative of how much times have changed. I can't even put into words how happy I am that we are evolving, and moving forward. But rewriting history is not a smart thing to do, even if it's uncomfortable. It's never a smart thing to do. Because by keeping the past clearly and accurately documented, as we move forward? And the past fades from the memory of the living... Then we have actual accurate documentation. So we make sure we don't repeat the mistakes that led to that.

I really don't like getting political. I really don't. It makes me feel very unsafe. I say this purely as someone who values immersion in storytelling. And when people, for instance, form a fucking mob to go after a villain character cat-calling a woman at a construction site... which still happens, by the way, but was much more of a social trope back in the 80's... it gets to the point where gang punishing that behavior is just kinda powergaming. But if you defend that character's time-period-accurate behavior? People look at you like you're advocating for it. It's very... polar. Very black-and-white. And people get angry and offended and seek retribution and punishment. And... I don't fucking like that shit. This is fucking fiction. It's a fake story with fake characters in a video game. And I truly wish that... fervor, that raw emotion... was put into actually making a difference in the world right now through social action. Not by trying to punish or hate people. Call me crazy, but I feel like MLK was really on to something. But I guess we just don't play by those rules anymore.

Needless to say, that upset me. And it upset me enough for me to just turn the stream off. Because it was literally like watching people @ someone on Twitter in RP form. And it was fucking dumb and stressful. I worked more, I watched YouTube for a bit, changed gears. Eventually I went back. And what ended up happening was oddly difficult.

Another streamer that I like watching sent the streamer a DM, it was about how he got a letter from his landlord. His neighbors made a noise complaint about loud voices and "foul language", and they kinda demanded he keep it down. This dude is a streamer, he's been streaming regularly for years. And... I said last night... my top concern with streaming is not upsetting my neighbors. And my reaction to this was immediately - "welp, guess streaming is off the table." And again, I started to get the anxiety chest pains and tightness. For hours. I left Twitch again shortly after that message, went back to YouTube and was drawing. And I just kept getting waves of physical anxiety the whole time. For hours. It was really upsetting.

Eventually, around 12:30, I went back to Twitch on impulse. I didn't want to, I just was getting tired of scrolling through clickbait thumbnails with people making stupid fucking faces. And the streamer whose landlord wrote the letter? He was live. I immediately hopped in and... this was fucking genius... he made a character that was designed around having larynx damage, and he was a huge hit. It was actually really goddamn funny. And he had on infinite scroll at the top of his screen the transcript of the letter his landlord slipped under his door. It was fucking brilliant. He only did a 2 hour stream, but, I shit you not, my anxiety just melted away. It was inspiring. I mean, if he can adapt and make it work, why couldn't I?

So yeah, I drew so long today that I actually had to force myself to take breaks because my finger felt like it was getting bruised. I did a ton. It's coming along nicely.

And here I am. And it's getting late, so... tarot.

Past - XX: Awakening, inverted (Metamorphosing into a new self, moving into a new chapter.  Gathering oneself and reflecting on past growth objectively.) Present - Three of Swords, inverted (Grief.  Separation from something or someone beloved.) Future - V: The Wise One, inverted (Spiritual guidance.  Doctrine and tradition.  Connecting with a spiritual group or mentor.)

Before I get to the analysis... I've been pulling a fourth card to use as a bookmark in my little reference book as I continue learning the deck. That one was Five of Cups. Very fitting for this reading, at first glance. Let me show you what I see.

This thread starts with inverted Awakening. Awakening (traditionally "Judgement") is a symbol of shedding the past self and evolving into a new phase of life. Sorta like... the preparation to enter that new phase, gathering strength to move forward. I'm guessing the traditional symbol is more about like... sorting what you're bringing with you and what you're not. And this is more about... a phoenix-like metamorphosis, shedding the dry skin of the past. Either way, for me it's inverted. It's stuck, or it was presented and I didn't accept it... something dysfunctional associated with this symbol.

This is connected to inverted Three of Swords, which is a rough fucking card. Three of Swords is grief, it's loss, it's separation from something beloved and held dear. And I don't see inversion as "opposite", I see it as kinda... piling on even more crap. I see inversion as kinda... stuck, or not able to resolve; dissonant.

This is connected to The Wise One, inverted. Which I think I've gotten before, inverted as well. This represents the entering of a spiritual mentor or guide. And I see this as... delayed, or stalled, or disrupted somehow.

So, in short... a "failed" transformation of self led to being stuck in grief and loss... and this is preventing me from finding a spiritual guide that I've really been yearning for for years now. That could probably help me a lot with most of my life. Since most aspects of my life have some spiritual aspect to them, albeit unrefined and self-constructed.

Okay, it's getting super late. I'm off to bed.

Cosmopolitan Couple’s Timeline

A/n: this is the Part II of Buzzfeed Article; It’s fluffy 💓, and more about their relationship. The photos used are only illustrative because after writing I got too lazy to search into pinterest. I hope you all like it as much as you liked Buzzfeed Article.

A Complete Timeline of Jack Harlow and Y/n L/n’s Relationship, Because You’re Nosy

There are celebrity couples who make sense and then there are celebrity couples who click together so seamlessly, their love is basically an aesthetic. Jack and Y/n are proud members of the second group. They are both infinitely photogenic and seem to float through life like it’s all one photo shoot that they were absolutely prepared for.

Quick question: Do you remember where you were when Y/n L/n and your boyfriend Jack Harlow went Instagram official? their *little* (read: earth-shattering) relationship caused women everywhere to weep real tears. Life’s a beach, ain’t it? Since then, these two have been sharing teensy looks here and there at their equal parts enviable and adorable relationship.

(Rude of him not to be dating me, but okay.)

That said, there is a LOT of ground to cover in Y/n and Jack’s yearlong relationship, including how Mr.Harlow went down to one knee, so let’s get down into the details of the Hollywood coupling almost too good to be true. Almost.

August 13, 2021

Newly single Y/n basically ✨manifested✨ her beau after posting this, on Twitter:

L/n had just got out of a long term relationship with Australian heartthrob Liam Hemsworth, the two had been going strong since October 2019 (visit their timeline here if your feeling nostalgic) with rumors of a engagement on the horizon, sources close to the former couple claim: “Liam was very much ready for the next step, and he wanted that with Y/n, they are very likeminded, but Y/n didn’t see herself as a wife and mother at this stage of her life. She is also very close to her family and the idea of living permanently in Australia wasn't very attractive to her, she'd lived there with him during the pandemic, and she was terribly homesick.”

September 13, 2021

They met on the red carpet, minutes before posing for pictures “Tommy Hilfiger set us up” the actress joked, recalling the moment, “The flowers on my dress and in my hair were made from scraps of fabric from Jack's suit”. “I was a little anxious, trying not to let it show, and this one turns to me, cute smile and all, and says, just pretend I'm the most perfect thing you've ever seen and the pictures will be perfect, and in my head I’am: I don't think I need to pretend.” Jack comments nearly a year later when the couple is interviewed by Vogue.

There you have girls, those looks of pure adoration were legit. A source tells Us Weekly, “They were all over each other. Super smitten and gazing into each other’s eyes as they danced together their whole night.” Jack and Y/n left the Gala together (she had his suit over her shoulders). 

They reappeared together in Virgil Abloh's After-Party—and again left together—. L/n described the moment to Net-a-Porter magazine: “On the way back to the hotel we stopped at this hole in the wall pizza place, I was starving, we ate in the van because they were already closing, we played a game of 'forty questions', and in the end I just wanted to run away as fast as possible, because I was like: oh shit I've known this guy for a few hours and I'm in serious danger to falling in love' surprisingly Jack felt the same, and didn't run away, he basically picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, caveman style, so, you know, we can say that we have been together from the day that we met! Two weeks later he accompanied me to Ireland for a month.”

October 2021

They had been seeing each other for two weeks when Y/n had to jet off to Ireland to re-shoot scenes for her new project. Very romantically for someone who claims to have never been in love—and shockingly—Jack accompanied his Lady Love. Perhaps even more shocking is the fact that the couple at that moment had not even exchanged their first kiss. Yeah, they were taking things *slow*. “I’ve been jumping from relationship to relationship since I was eighteen, I wanted to make sure it wasn't just infatuation,” the Golden Globe-winning actress told longtime friend Hailey Bieber on an episode of 'Who's in my Bathroom.' “He was super patient and by the end of the second week I was pretty sure he was going to be my last first kiss, we kissed on our first night in Ireland, we were coming back from dinner at the local pub, we took the scenic route by the sea, it was very romantic.” Our hearts.

October 28, 2021

Just a few short weeks after that initial Met Gala meet-cute, Jack and Y/n went Instagram official on *both* of their accounts. It came just days after Harlow went solo for Doja Cat's 26th birthday party at Delilah’s, at the time it was widely reported that the Atlanta-based rapper was staying at the actress' home in Chatsworth, no explanation was given for L/n's absence, leading some outlets to report that the romance had come to an end. Y/n posted a couples picture that oozed Gen Z Fifty Shades of Grey vibes (in a good way).

Jack shared two pics—one of Y/n solo in bed, city lights in the back, and, a very sweet kiss pic, captioned ‘The best view’:

October 31, 2021

Vas J Morgan and Michael Braun Halloween Bash. It was the place to be on Halloween, and it was the first appearance of the couple after making the relationship IG official. Everyone who follows Y/n knows that Halloween is the actress's favorite time of year, and she takes it seriously, Y/n is one of our favorite celebrities to watch this time of year because she always comes up with the best costumes. And she didn't disappoint. Jack and Y/n appeared in a couples costume, Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, and they looked sexy.

November 16, 2021

Weren’t expecting Jack to be so open about his relationship with Y/n? Same, TBH! In a new interview with Complex, Jack said that being open about his relationship with Y/n isn’t exactly his style, he usually prefers to keep things more private, but he decided to switch up his usual tactics because he’s sooooo smitten with her. “She’s game-changer.” “I’m a private guy and I want to protect that, but it just felt like trying to hide it only make things worse, makes curiosity around us grow, especially when your dating someone like Y/n, she has one of the most recognizable faces in the world, it’s insane, she got that level of fame,” he said. “I feel more comfortable about the public nature of the business that we’re in nowadays than I did a year ago. So for me, it was a moment to, I guess, take ownership of that and then get back to work.”

November 25, 2021

Thanksgiving was a good time for the couple. From Y/n’s Instagram photo and video dump celebrating the day, the couple spent the holiday together and with his family ~Yes, girls! He took her home to Louisville to introduce her to his mamma!~ from the looks of it, Y/n also met all of his childhood friends, and was given a tour of the city. Your! Faves! Could! Never!

December 5, 2021

It was Jack's turn to meet his girl’s family. They spent the beginning of December in Vermont enjoying snow sports. Apparently Jack immediately bonded with everyone because the universe had fated this romance, clearly. The Kentucky rapper along well with Y/n's older brothers, if you can’t tell from the countless photos the three men shared on IG. He took her younger siblings snowboarding~our hearts~, and played Tea Party with her adorable nieces. The young couple was photographed by fans having lunch in town with Y/n's parents, and according to the photo's author, "They seemed very comfortable together, and Jack and Y/n's father seemed very friendly to each other. ”

December 25, 2021

The couple spent their first Christmas apart, and Y/n shared a photo of the couple with the caption “miss u❤️”

December 29, 2021

She didn't miss him for long however. On December 29th the couple was spotted in Miami, where Jack was performing at NBC special Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party (Yep, Miley, her ex-ex), before jetting off to Hawaii where Y/n presented us with a certain enviable level of photo dump. To be her.

January 8, 2022

Ireland was also the place for several important milestones for the couple. Like Jack bringing up the subject of children. Yep. That happened.

About the episode, Jack commented during a radio interview in early January, “I knew from the first smile she gave me that I wanted her to be the mother of my kids, I was like, Damn, I want my kids to have that smile.” The rapper revealed. “Fast forward, we're in Ireland, and I had no idea Ireland could be so romantic, I went to visit her on set, totally unprepared, Y/n is there, fully dressed in her character's clothes, and she has a baby in her arms, that made me feel something,” the Kentucky native continued, “there were other kids, because they were still testing various ages, but none were older than, I don't know, six, and they were all relatively similar to her. It made me want things.” “Did you guys have that talk?” The radio host asked. “Oh, Yeah.” Jack replied with a self-satisfied smile. “It was how we ended up with a dog. If Jacques is alive and healthy in a year we will have this conversation again, she says.”

Their dog is adorable by the way. And huge. But his parents are 6ft3 and 5ft7, so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

January 9, 2022

Y/n was nominated for a Golden Globes, we were ✨finger cross✨ hoping to see Jack Harlow as her arm candy on the red carpet, but we were holding back on our expectations since Y/n famously doesn't walk red carpet with her boyfriends (we've had our hopes crushed when she was dating Harry Styles and then later with Liam Hemsworth, the actress' two longest relationships to date), we were already resigned that we would see the New England beauty walking accompanied by one of her yummy looking brothers when they arrived, AND! WE! GASPED! First, he opened the door himself and helped her out. 

Second, he straightened the train of her dress BEFORE he offered her his arm and they walked down the red carpet like a couple out of a Hollywood Golden Age dream (with a futuristic twist), they were wearing Dior, which the actress was recently announced as a Global Ambassador, and they looked to die for.

And the glances? It's like their eyes scream 'I love you'.

February 8, 2022

Jack celebrated his Oscar Nominee girlfriend with a post and a sweet caption: ‘Just found out I have a Academy Awards Nominee girlfriend. Congrats my heart, you deserve all the validation for the fantastic work you've been doing over the last decade.’

February 14, 2022

2021 crowned Michael B Jordan the ultimate King of Valentines Day surprise, we ~and the rest of the world~ thought it would be hard to beat closing an aquarium for a romantic dinner.

Boy, were we wrong.

'Cause Jack Harlow managed to close the Griffith Observatory for Y/N's Valentine's Day Surprise and we're dying… of envy. God does has favorites, and little Miss L/n just happens to be one of them. 

According to an anonymous source, 'Jack turned the place into a blooming garden, Soul Food, Y/n's favorite pastry from a Vermont bakery, he went all out for their first valentine's day. She was really touched, no one has ever done something like this for her before, she felt bad that she only bought him a watch.' 

Unfortunately, Jack and Y/n haven't shared their Valentine's Day photos with their followers.  But when asked about the gift he received for Valentine's Day Jack replied: 'Y/n gave me a Rolex, the same type and year of manufacture as the one Paul Newman got from his wife, on the back she had it engraved: Come home, we miss you. And before rumors get wild, the 'we' in question is her and Jacques, our dog' the rapper clarified, when asked what he got his girlfriend he said: 'I bought her a necklace, she hasn't stopped wearing it, so I think she liked it.'

February 18, 2022

The couple managed to steal the spotlight from another rapper-actress couple during the NBA All Star Games weekend. Not a feat for many women, but Y/n managed to overshadow Megan Fox.

For starters, she was dressed cute and to die for in a vintage Versace look wore in ‘95 by Kate Moss ~a bit reminiscent of a cheerleader/schoolgirl outfit~, white New Balance sneakers, her hair pulled back in a ponytail with a 'Harlow' silk ribbon, and Team Nique Varsity Jacket with number 80 on the back.

Second, she cheered her man for every point he made like he had just own a Grammy ~goals~. Last but not least, Jack dedicated his 4 pointer to his lady, which was sweet. Team Nique lost, but you wouldn’t say that by the kiss the couple exchanged courtside.

March 13, 2022

On Jack's 24th birthday, Y/n posted several pictures of her boyfriend and the couple on her IG, including some messages exchanged between them that give us a glimpse into their relationship. And it's gold. The actress captioned it: 'Happy your day, old man. As part of the old L/n tradition, I'll expose you. But I love you❤️.'

The post was later followed by another photo of the couple, captioned with a love declaration by the actress ‘My Handsome Jack, I knew I like you when you made me feel nervous, and my heart would beat faster than the wings of a hummingbird every-time you looked at me with your gorgeous ocean blue eyes. I knew I loved you when I felt calmer with you than without you, and just your presence there was able to calm my anxiety attack. You made love songs make sense to me. You made home a person instead of a building for me. I love you Cowboy, my barbarian, my angel. Thank you for holding my hand and never letting me run away.’ and Jack replied in the comments with 'I love you babygirl'

Let's not forget they were in Turks and Caicos with Drake at the time.

Oh, and the Valentine's Day necklace finally made a visible appearance in pictures, it’s a diamond ‘J’on a white gold chain, how very Taylor Swift’s Call it What You Want of them.

March 27, 2022

The 94th Oscar Ceremony. Where to start with this ceremony?

For starters Jack and Y/n again rocked the red carpet in Dior. As a nominee for one of the main categories, Y/n went all out in a gold gown and, yes, she wore a star-studded tiara in her hair ~but she is just that level of gorgeous~. A couple in their early twenties has no right to look as cute and put together as these two *they even look like they smell good, if that's possible*.

Will Smith vs. Chris Rock happened.

Will Smith won an Oscar and received a standing ovation ~although Y/n neither clapped nor stood up, and the camera focuses on the exact moment she shakes her head at her boyfriend~.  

Y/n L/n then won the Oscar for Best Actress, and delivered THAT viral speech, 'Over the years I've watched my idols at these big fancy events, over the internet, and on the streets protesting countless causes, it made me proud to see these people who inspired me on the front lines of such noble causes, made me want to do more. Over the years we protested for the BLM, Violence Against Women, the Me Too Movement, we protested against violence, period. And tonight something happened, which under all California laws is misdemeanor crime, by the way, perpetrated by one of ours against one of ours, and in an act of absolute hypocrisy, you, who march against acts of violence, who protest against acts of violence, gave a standing ovation to the aggressor, you normalized aggression against an act of comedy […]Toxic masculinity in 2022 is not an excuse[…]So tonight, I applaud you, the Hollywood Elite, for your hypocrisy.’ The actress, who did not accept the Oscar upon going on stage, was about to leave, to the silence of the audience, when she returned, accepting the award from Anthony Hopkins hands, who quickly congratulate her. 'I was going to leave this here in protest, but I deserved it, and it may be the only one in my career after today.' The actress was finally applauded by audience members ~mostly the younger generation~.

The actress' attitude was congratulated by many industry members, despite having received criticism online and from other actors.

April 2, 2022

Their GQ Couples Quiz. It’s the most viewed Couple Quiz in the channel and is #couplegoals. This couple is *obsessed* with each other, as we’re obsessed with them. In the nearly twenty minutes video we learned that they are living together full-time now—at Y/n LA house, that once belonged to Frank Sinatra—but Jack claims that none of them are LA people. Their song is Fire on Fire by Sam Smith, 'but there's a lot of Taylor Swift on our relationship playlist' the actress admitted while her boyfriend hid his face behind the questions cards. They're a compatible couple according to their zodiac sign—he's a Pisces and she's a Taurus— 'We were meant to be, Sunshine' Jack jokes. 

'What would make me the happiest man alive?' Jack asks with a smirk. 'This one is easy, are you ready?' Y/n asks looking at the production behind the camera with a mischievous smile. ‘Okay. Hands down. Eight mini-me.’ Minute of silence ‘She’s right.’ The rapper agreed with a lazy smile.

Our favorite moment must be the ‘Describe me in one word.’ to which Jack responded with a smirk ‘Mine’ and like Y/n we just melted.

(You can watch the full video here)

April 3, 2022

The Grammys! Jack was nominated for two awards, and would perform alongside Lil Nas X. The couple arrived in all-Black Givenchy, and Y/n absolutely slayed in sheer lace. 

The couple also accidentally starred the cutest moment on the red carpet, when without realizing they were separated during photos and interviews, Y/n turned her head looking over her shoulder in search of your beau ~a move worthy of Sharon Stone and Angelina Jolie~, the microphone of the E! Channel captured the moment when the actress asked her assistant 'where is Jack?', and almost instantly, in five strides, the rapper is reunited with his girlfriend, their hands intertwining almost unconsciously, and he just looks at her with a smile and 'Hey babygirl' as if they haven't seen each other in days. *Again, to be her*

About the couple, Little Nas X, who is a close friend to both, commented 'They're one of those weird couples that even breathe in sync.'

Jack didn't take the Grammy home, but the couple had fun, and Y/n was dancing and singing along during her boyfriend's performance.

May 2, 2022

Jack may not have followed the assignment, but Y/n rocked the theme for both of them *and even made us imagine her in a wedding dress*.

May 6, 2022

Not only was it the Kentucky Derby and the couple attended together, it was also the release day of Jack's new album, Come Home The Kids Miss You. Y/n was the star of the 'First Class' video, an obvious choice when your girlfriend is a world-famous movie star, she's also going to appear in the 'Churchill Downs' music video with Drake by the looks of it.

In interviews prior to the album's release, Harlow commented that he was moving back to Louisville, initially it was unclear how the move would affect the couple's relationship, however in an interview during the Derby the Louisville native confirmed that Y/n and him were making the move together.

May 13, 2022

Am I the only one who finds it absolutely adorable that this couple is exactly two months apart in age? The actress celebrated the date being pampered by her boyfriend, surrounded by family and friends at the couple's new home in Louisville, Drake was present at the party. 

Jack shared a birthday tribute to Y/n, which he captioned, “Happy birthday my dreamgirl, the love of my existence 🤍 you have the most beautiful heart and soul I’ve ever known.”

June 2022

You might have thought that at this point in Jack and Y/n’s Hollywood love story, they were out of IG milestones, but on June 13, Y/n took it to the “publicly calling each other soul mates” level calling her handsome beau “the other half of her soul”.

And not to be out-gushed, Jack called his “soulmate,” which is basically a synonym.

Due to professional commitments, the couple spent some time apart in June, which Y/n briefly commented on in the 73 Questions with Vogue video. Y/n posted on IG with the caption: I miss you, please, bring your ass back home.

July 2022

Were we ready? No! Did we know it was going to happen? Yes! On July 13th (always 13th because 13 is a lucky number for the couple, they were both born on the 13th, Y/n ✨manifested✨ Jack on the 13th, they met on the 13th…) Jack got down on one knee in the couple’s home in Louisville. The first floor was transformed into a sunflower garden, there were candles, and the couple's playlist playing in the background.

“Today I asked my soulmate to marry me and she said yes, babe we’re using the buddy system for the rest of our lives, ” he wrote. “I promise to be the best husband and the best father for our future eight daughters 🤍 I love you babygirl.”

September 13, 2022

Jack celebrated his and Y/n’s one-year anniversary with a thirst-inducing, sexy picture (is that now the new traditional first anniversary pic)?

“365 days by your side, My Heart” he wrote. “I’m the luckiest man in the world to be able to call you mine. I cannot wait to grow old with you and start our team of mini-us. love you so much sweet girl🤍”

September 19, 2022

Jack appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and shared some previously unknown details about his proposal to Y/n.

Jack went all out to maximize the romance at the proposal, which he said took place at  their home and involved a a entire floor filled with Y/n’s favorite flower (sunflower) as well as candles, her favorite champagne, and pizza (from the same place they eat that first Met Gala night). While this scenario might scream MARRIAGE PROPOSAL to most people, Jack and Y/n are so romantic in private and gush about their feels so regularly that she didn’t actually realize what was going on at first, “I don't think she ever imagined herself living in Louisville, Kentucky, and I don't believe anyone imagines a woman like Y/n living in Kentucky, she's the pinnacle of glamour, someone you imagine living in LA or NY, so when we broached the subject of living in Louisville, she touched me when she said that as long as we were together anywhere was home, I promised I wouldn't let her regret that decision, so grand romantic gestures are common at home.”

“Man, you're making some of us look bad.” Kimmel joked. “I just like to make her happy, it's not that hard.”The First Class rapper said with a shrug.

But that was not the initial plan, as bad cold postponed the proposal. “I had planned a trip just the two of us, our families were going to join us, but she didn't know that part, I planned to propose to her on June 13, under the light of Aurora Australis, there was a Symphony Orchestra hired for the occasion, and Maria Grazia from Dior—thank you Maria, you absolute angel— sent the dress she was supposed to wear, I already had her father and grandfather's permission, her overprotective older brothers too, her mom gave her blessing, but then on the 10th Y/n had the worst cold, and I ended up canceling the trip.”

During the interview with Kimmel we had another huge revelation:

“But it all worked out in the end, you two are happy…” Kimmel commented. “Yeah, yeah, my wife and I are really happy...” Jack said with a smirk. “Your wife…?” Kimmel asked with a double take. “Oops.” It was the only thing the rapper said, covering his mouth, making the audience cheer with the confession. “When did this happen? Congratulations!” “We are legally married, on the 14th we took a flight to Vegas just the two of us and our parents.” 

They are planning a ceremony for after Jack's tour ends. Our bets are that the ceremony will take place in Kentucky or Vermont. The bride will probably wear Dior and the groom Givenchy.

September 20, 2022

The day after Jack's interview on Jimmy Kimmel's show, Y/n posted a photo of the couple in Vegas with the caption, “Since the cat is out of the bag… our first photo as Mr and Mrs Harlow, I love you husband. ”

So, who wants a publishing story?

No one?

…Tough.

To preface, this was prompted by a post I saw about always making sure you read a contract before signing it. I wholeheartedly agree.

So, I write books. A roundabout result of writing books is I occasionally get to speak at conventions. When I do speak at conventions (which hasn’t been for a year. Thanks, covid), a standard question I get asked is about the benefits of self-publishing versus getting a contract. And yes, I fully realize that everyone’s experience in this is different, and I get that. Here’s mine.

So, several years ago, I wrote a book. I put a solid year into it and did numerous rewrites, edits, etc. with three wonderful editors and boom. Book. Done. And then, like many who are impatient or who don’t want to run the risk of rejection, I self-published my first novel.

And to my great shock, I actually sold some copies.

Quick aside. I’m not famous. At. Fucking. All. Some is not millions. Some is several thousand at best. And that’s over YEARS. I am not widely known and I do not claim to be. At all.

So yeah, like, I didn’t sell a million or anything, but I was moving over 100 copies a month when I was putting in the marketing work. Not too shabby. I was hustling on Twitter, FB marketing, Google ad marketing, working the review sites, doing interviews, everything I could. And it actually worked. I can honestly say the number of copies I moved a month directly correlated with how hard I pushed. And when I pushed, I pushed damn hard. I even got to a point where a reviewer who became an editor for DC would routinely provide public reviews for my books, and I was doing a superhero series. Not gonna lie- it was fucking rad.

Anyway, after a couple years of doing this, putting out a second novel which sold okay, a bunch of novellas, and so on, I received an offer out of the blue to have my work officially picked up. For realsies.

Admittedly, I was over the moon about this. I was being contacted by an unsolicited source! AND THEY HAD MONEY!

Now, my work wasn’t Shakespeare. I knew that. They did, too. They offered me a nice little starting sum. Not a lot, but holy shit it was FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS UP FRONT. One of my editors reads my Tumblr and I don’t think I’ve ever told them how much it was. It was 5k. To start. Not a lot, publishing-wise, but that’s because the work was already done. See, most publishers will give you more, but the catch is it’s considered a down payment for more books in a series. They pay you to write future novels, and then they expect you to pay it back. I already had a shit ton of content out, so I essentially skipped that step. Which tells me that publishers really don’t expect to have to actually pay you much, but that’s another post.

To my editor- sorry I never said the exact amount. It felt weird, but it’s been years, so it’s not as weird? I dunno. That logic train made sense as I was writing this.

So, 5k upfront, and then 50% of all sales thereafter, and they would handle EVERYTHING. Marketing, scheduling tours, covers, putting me in stores, the lot. Considering how much time, money, and effort these things took, this was not a terrible deal, but there was a catch.

My story would officially no longer be mine.

Oh, my name would be on it, and I’d write it, but from there on out, the publishing house would have 100% control over how it was marketed, where it went, and so on. If they wanted to option it, I would have zero say and zero rights, meaning they could take it and do fuck-all, and I would be left with nothing. Per the contract, they could even go so far as to issue me a cease and desist on my own work and hire a new person to take over. I was signing away everything in my universe if I said yes.

So, despite the allure of having things offered to me like a legit marketing team, book tours, and money (such as it was), I said no thank you.

Now, it didn’t hurt that I’d already made 5k in sales by that point. I knew my worth and how to push to keep it that way, if I so chose. Also, it helped that I was in an okay place when that offer came in. I could look at it and say, “well, that sure would be nice, but I don’t need it.” A lot of talented writers aren’t in that space, and the offer of several months rent or money for food as well as REALLY-REAL PUBLISHING can be hella tempting. And I get it, for some folks, the deals work out alright. And for some they don’t. And I sure as Hell am not going to judge. Seriously, I still have vivid nightmares about working 60+ hours a week and not being able to afford baby formula. Hell, if they had offered that to me just one year earlier, I would have been forced to take it. At that stage of life, 5k would have been life changing. I was just starting to hit the OK section of life, and only barely. Money when you need it is fucking awesome, and sometimes, you take what you can get.

But if you are a writer? And you’re in a place where it’s not life and death? Read the damn contract. Every single time. Make good and sure you know what you’re getting into and ask yourself, is it worth it to you? If it is, awesome. Again, not gonna judge, and every situation is different.

In my specific case though, it was choosing a nice bit of cash over something I had slaved for years over. I couldn’t do it. I still can’t. It’s the one property I’ll never let go of because when I wrote it, I didn’t even know if I could write a book. It proved to me that yes, I really could, and that was worth more than I can put into words.

TLDR: Read your contracts. Make choices good for you. Some things are worth more than money.

i want to add an addendum, or mb an extrapolation, to my previous post, which is that when i refer to the bonkers parts of the fandom i don't mean ppl who are like, "ugh i don't like this plotline," or "hate what this article said." there are plenty of plotlines i don't like. just bc i'm optimistic doesn't mean i love every second of it. i don't like leah. i don't like how they made a woman character's main purpose be a love interest with a sloppy backstory. but i understand what the point of her is. i don't love that carol married zeke, but i get what the endgame of it was so i'm cool with it. the thing of it is, tho, is that i have to watch the episode to understand, i can't rely on screeners and spoilers bc they are always biased and out of context. and if i had been watching this shit in real time when gimple was around i would not be nearly as zen, bc that shit was just a dude jack off fest with no proper narrative, so i totally get why that would have been hell. but kang has proven herself to be a true storyteller, and true storytelling requires you to pay attention to nuance and symbolism, which is not going to be present in spoilers.

but the ppl i have beef with aren't ppl who are just venting their frustrations in their own circle. those are the ppl i can easily be like "eh, agree to disagree," and step away from. the ppl i have beef with are the ppl who get Mad(tm) and get legit combative with others. the ones who usurp positive posts just to shit on it. the ones who call female actors derogatory names, or threaten cast and crew or other fandom members. ppl who slide into my inbox to be like, "fuck u and ur positivity." i am referring to a very specific brand of fandom peeps who seem to get off on making sure anyone who's having a good time knows that they're not.

there's a marked difference between a mature conversation about why something sucks to you/having valid critique, vs. "i hope that bitch actress shuts her fucking mouth," or fighting to the death in a twitter battle that is about as useful as trying to convince your antivax cousin to stop posting on fb about why it's good to drink essential oils.

i like constructive conversation. i understand wariness when you've been scorned before. but i do not, will not, ever understand or condone the unbridled rage some people seem to have, especially when it is repeatedly proven to be unfounded, week after week after week

some people need to just like. not. just don't. take up crotchet. learn krav maga. masturbate. something more constructive than going out of your way to ruin everyone's good time

i am seriously not targeting specific ppl, largely bc (most of) the ppl im referring to don't interact with me off anon, or i don't fuck with them long enough to learn their names. if i interact with you it is doubtful you fall into the category of "bonkers fandom"

'kay, that's all for the discourse. i'm officially going back to your regularly scheduled shitposts. it just occurred to me that some people might be feeling unjustly targeted, and i wanted to make sure i was clear, bc my entire aim, from the very start, is to be a person ppl can be around to have a good time

so to those of you that hang around on my side of the block, let's do that instead, yeah?

FFxiv Fluffvember! Day 1

I am legit like a week behind but I wanted to participate in the fluffvember prompts by @/meepfur on twitter! Also a good way for me to jump into writing about my viera oc Saryu! Hope you enjoy the fluff lol

Day 1: First Kiss

pairing: Thancred x WoL (Saryu Eventide)

word count: 979

~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Saryu slipped through the door and into an empty hallway, a relieved sigh escaping her as the noise of the party faded. She wasn't shy really, but she had quickly learned that she had a low battery for social frivolity. Something, something, growing up in a secluded and quiet village. It was a convenient enough excuse anyhow. She made her way down the hall, headed towards the small common room at the back of the Rising Stones. She only needed a few moments to recharge, and there was a stash of white peaches calling her name from the supply crates. The supply room was, unsurprisingly, empty, and she found the peaches easily, their sweet, sugary scent dancing between the slats of the wooden crate they had been stored in. Three went into a bowl, and another between her teeth; the fruit was perfectly ripe and sweet as candy, eliciting a charmed hum as she made her way back to the hallway. Her destination was actually a hidden staircase further back, where she could enjoy Mor Dhona’s cool night air. She rounded a corner, not paying attention as she was preoccupied with dabbing away the syrup dribbling down her chin, and collided with something solid.

Or rather, someone.

“Oh!” She exclaimed, looking up into the familar face of Thancred. The hyur flashed a teasing smile.

“Saryu! I certainly wasn’t expecting to see you here.”

She flushed, ears twitching sheepishly. “I needed a little break from the festivities.”

“Understandable,” he replied with a nod. “I’ll be out of your way then.”

He stepped to the side but she moved the same way. When she moved the other direction, he moved with her, once again blocking each other. They shared a chuckle, and she found herself enamored with the pink tingeing his cheeks as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. 

“Um, I’ll go, that way,” she said pointing left, “and you can go the other way?”

Thancred cleared his throat and nodded. “Yes, yes, that should work.” As they scooted past one another, he caught sight of the fruit bowl in her arms, raising an eyebrow. “Escaping with contraband are you, silly rabbit?”

“Whaaaat?” She replied, playfully hiding the bowl behind her. “Whatever do you mean?”

That earned her a roguish grin, and a conspiratorial wink. “Of course, I could pretend I didn’t see it, for a price.”

She couldn’t resist the grin spreading across her face, nor the way her ears swiveled playfully. She liked these silly games with him, and held up a peach. “Would this suffice to buy your silence?”

“‘Tis a deal.” 

She giggled like a youngling, as he bowed with an exaggerated flourish, something her sisters would surely have teased her for had they been there to witness it. 

“Where were you headed anyway?” He asked around a mouthful of peach. She shrugged pointing to the small alcove that led to the stairs.

“There is a stair there, partially hidden by a thicket. It's good for a moment of privacy without going far.”

“An ideal place for meeting with one’s paramour, I imagine.”

She made a choked noise at the implication. “A-a paramour? I don't—”

Thancred placed a hand on his hip, smirking devilishly, gesturing with his half eaten peach. “Oh don’t be coy, were it known you were looking, I’ve no doubt there’d be a line of suitors out the door.”

Saryu covered her face to hide, tapping her foot in a rapid series of thumps as her heart skittered. The image he conjured was almost nightmarish; who would find such an excess of attention desirable? 

“You tease me Thancred Waters,” she mumbled. He brushed her hand away from her face, lifting her chin so he could look on her pouting face properly.

“Ah, but you make such an enticing target, my dear.” 

An odd swooping sensation low in her belly made it hard to breathe; it was not unlike the sensation of diving from one of the crystal spires into Silvertear Lake. She worried her lower lip between her teeth as Thancred leaned over her, his brown eyes tracking the movement like one of his targets. He was standing so close now, smelled of peaches and something warmer, sharper underneath. His grip on her chin tightened just a fraction, thumb stroking levin along the line of her jaw.

“Thancred—” she gasped, and he leaned forward, pressing a kiss to her lips. 

The kiss was soft and unerringly gentle—just skin pressed against skin, almost chaste in a way. But nothing, nothing could have prepared her for the sparks of levin that burst between them, the maelstrom it stirred in her belly, her bones. She was completely and utterly lost, her only anchor the cool stone wall at her back, and his rough, calloused hand cradling her cheek. He was kissing her. Thancred, kissing her. She thought she might dissolve then and there. When he pulled away, it was only by ilms, his nose brushing against hers as he sighed.

“Apologies,” he rasped, his voice as utterly demolished as she felt, “that was rather presumptuous of me, wasn’t it?”

“I—” she took a shuddering breath, “I don’t mind.”

Ugh, what a fool thing to say. He’d just given her the most tender, intimate kiss of her life and she was so addled that she could only say she didn’t mind?

“How fortunate for me,” Thancred replied, the corners of his mouth turning up in a small, cheeky grin.

“Cheeky bastard,” she murmured as he leaned forward again. Only for a loud bang to sound from the end of the hall, making them both jump. The noise of the party flooded the quiet space, echoing down the hall. 

“Saryuuuuuu!” Yda called, the pugilist practically yodeling her name. “Where are you little bunny?”

“Hmm,” Thancred hummed, eyeing the corner that was hiding them warily. “Secret staircase, you said?”

“Yep.”

“Mayhap a change of venue is in order to, ah, finish off those peaches?” He asked with a wink. Saryu snorted, ducking under his arm and towards the stairs, grinning as Yda barely missed them.

Late.

A/N: As always i hope you enjoy. First time writing genuine arsehole Tom. You can now read a follow up if you want here.

Summary: Tom’s late for dinner, reader has had enough. Tom makes a mistake but it all works out in the end.

W/C: 2.2K

Warnings: Swearing.

“Tom Holland spotted with new girlfriend after breakup with ex.”

“Tom Holland on night out with new girlfriend.”

“Is Tom Holland finally over his ex?”

You saw the headlines and wanted to throw your phone at a wall. You and Tom had dated for two years and broken it off a couple of months ago, it was sad and it was messy a row where you both said things you shouldn’t have.

“Seriously Tom?” You shouted as you threw your hands up, voice hoarse from all the shouting.

“I was late, yes. I get it you were left hanging but I was busy and didn’t finish on time. You need to get some perspective.” He shouted.

“I’m not even upset about that, a quick text would have been nice. But no, you left me sat there like a complete fucking idiot.” You fired back and he rolled his eyes.

“I have had a stressful enough day as it is. I don’t need you adding to it. You’re behaving like a bratty child and you knew what you were getting yourself into.”

“Seriously? That’s you’re defence? I knew what I was getting into, so what, I’m just supposed to accept it?” You asked in disbelief.

“Yeah, you know you could really use getting some more friends. You can’t just rely on me all the time.” He snapped and your heart dropped. You had friends, but not many, you’d been bullied a lot through high school and therefore kept a small circle of people you trusted and he knew that.

“They were busy.” You fired back.

“Were they? Or are they just sick of listening to you go on?” He shouted and that stung, it was a huge insecurity of yours, you always feared people didn’t truly like you.

“You know what Tom? You are so far stuck up your own arse that it’s embarrassing. I’m glad you and your foul fucking mood didn’t make it tonight.” You shouted, you were close to tears but you didn’t want to cry in front of him, not right now.

“Yeah well at least I fucking do something with my life.” He shouted back and you couldn’t stop the tears at that. You’d recently turned down a promotion to move to New York so that you could see him as often as you still did, it felt like he was throwing it back in your face.

“You are a vain, arrogant, selfish, stuck up arsehole.” You said back as your voice cracked, his eyes instantly snapped to yours as he heard your voice crack. His anger washed away completely as he realised exactly what it was he’d just said to you. He took a careful step towards you as he spoke.

“Baby, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.” You cried when you heard the softness in his voice. A stark contrast from seconds ago.

“Don’t ‘baby’ me you arsehole. I’m going to stay at Lizzie’s.” You said as you picked up your bag, going into the bedroom and stuffing whatever clothes touched your hands into it, he was hot on your trail.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. It was out of line, I’m sorry.” He kept trying. When you were done you turned to look at him.

“Those were possibly some of the worst things you could have said to me. Thank you for playing on the insecurities that I told you about in confidence. I greatly fucking appreciate it.” You snapped, your tears were unstoppable and he felt awful.

“Y/N please. Just calm down and we’ll talk about it yeah?” He was crying now and you turned to make your way towards the front door. You turned to look at him one last time before you spoke.

“Until you’ve sorted your attitude out, I don’t wanna see you.” You said as you slammed the door shut and left for Lizzie’s.

He had tried to call you, many times after that. He showed up at Lizzie’s a week later but she wouldn’t let him in. You cried for weeks and just as you thought you were getting better, that you weren’t missing him the same, you saw that he had a new girlfriend. You’d noticed he’d tried to ring you a couple of times this morning but you’d ignored it. Your twitter mentions had gone through the roof for the first time since you’d split and you couldn’t help but look at them.

Dam that girl looks like Y/N but less attractive.

Y/N is naturally prettier I have to say.

Looking at the pictures, I think it’s just a hook up.

She’s far prettier than Y/N, well done Tommy.

That girl legit looks the spit of Y/N, I don’t think he’s over her.

It looks like Tom took Y/N and upgraded her.

I feel bad for the amount of hate Y/N’s getting, leave her be guys, we don’t know why they split up or how she’ll be feeling about this, I know I’d be heartbroken.

You furrowed your brows as you opened one of the pictures and in all fairness they weren’t wrong, she held a lot of similarities but she was far prettier and it made your heart ache. You still liked that some of his fans were supportive, some had been quite defensive of you. Tom had been vague about why you’d split up but never once denied it was his fault.

Then a tweet caught your eye because you noticed that Harry had retweeted it.

Please don’t bother Y/N with this. We know Tom said it was his fault as to why they broke up. We know that they loved each other and I think Tom might have made a mistake. Please respect that they are both still probably hurting and we should leave them alone.

Why was Harry retweeting something about this? Sure, he’d been supportive of you but not in public. Please respect that they are both still probably hurting. Was Tom still hurting? Apart from this morning he hadn’t tried to reach out at all in three weeks, you thought that was his way of saying he was over it. That was until you opened your voicemail and saw that Tom had left one last night. You sighed as you brought the phone up to your ear.

“Hi baby, sorry Y/N. I shouldn’t call you that anymore.” He was drunk and he was crying, that much you could tell. “Erm, you didn’t pick your phone up, not that I blame you. I wouldn’t if you said that shit to me. Listen, you’re gonna see some stuff tomorrow that I’m not proud of but you probably won’t get the whole truth and I want you to know what happened.” He sniffled a few times and your heart ached, he’d wanted to tell you first and you’d not answered.

“So I got really drunk tonight, as you can probably tell. I met this girl and she looked like you, she wasn’t you but she looked like you. She was really nice actually but that’s beside the point. You’re probably gonna see the pictures of me kissing her outside that club and I’m sorry. I know we’re not together but I haven’t moved on and I don’t want you to think I have.” You were crying as you listened to him, he sounded like he was in so much pain.

“I still love you, like a lot and I’m sorry. I brought her here and when we were about to sleep together I couldn’t do it. She was in our bed Y/N/N, that’s your place, not hers and I just couldn’t do it. I cried and she was really nice, she told me to call you. So here I am. Well, she said I should call you tomorrow when I was sober but I was hoping I’d hear your voice. Your voicemail will have to do I suppose. I love you and I miss you and I’m sorry I was such a prick. I didn’t mean it.”

You ended the call because you couldn’t listen anymore, he sounded like he was in so much pain and it made your heart sink into the pit of your stomach. He really was hurting as much as you were, maybe more. You were pulled out of your thoughts as your phone buzzed. Tom. You hesitated for a second before you answered.

“Hey.” You said in the best voice of happiness you could muster.

“Y/N? I didn’t think you’d answer.” He sniffled, was he crying again?

“Yeah, I erm, I got your voicemail.” You said and you heard as he let out a sob.

“I’m sorry. That wasn’t fair, I didn’t mean to spill all that, I only rang you with the intent of explaining what you’ve probably seen this morning. I shouldn’t have done that, I know you’re trying to move on so I shouldn’t have told you that I still love you.” He rambled through his sobs and your heart broke.

“Tom, it’s okay. I think I can forgive you for leaving an emotional voicemail.” You laughed through your tears and you heard him let out a choked laugh too.

“Can I see you? You don’t have to come here and I don’t have to come to you but can we meet somewhere neutral please? Even if it’s just for closure?” He was begging and you knew deep down you couldn’t say no even if you wanted to.

“Okay. How about that coffee shop we both like?” You said.

“Okay, gimme an hour?” The hope in his voice was enough to lift your heart slightly.

An hour later and you found yourself awkwardly sat at a table with Tom as you sipped your coffee.

“I’m sorry.” He sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. “I mean it. I shouldn’t have said what I said, it was so fucking wrong of me. I shouldn’t have used your insecurities like that, it was a dick move. You’re right I was being an arrogant, selfish arsehole and you deserved better, I understand why you left me.” He said as he looked at you, you could see the tears brimming and watched as he swallowed them back.

“It hurt Tom.” You said in response. “But you weren’t completely wrong either, I did rely on you too much, I pushed you harder than I should have at times and I know how hard you work.”

“Y/N, you just wanted me to be there when I said I was going to be, that’s not relying on me too much, that’s just asking me to be your boyfriend.” He sighed again.

“But you were right, there was always a chance that what would happen happened and I should have been more understanding.” You said as you looked at him again.

“I should have sent you a text and for that I’m sorry but it wasn’t like it was the first time it happened. I was so wrapped up in the film that I didn’t think much past it and I’m sorry for that. I shouldn’t have thrown you turning down that promotion at you either, I know you did that for us.” He said and he meant it, you knew he did, he may have been a fantastic actor but he always had this look in his eye when he was being completely genuine and vulnerable, one he couldn’t fake.

“It’s okay. I think we both needed to learn some things when we broke up.” You sighed as you sat in silence again, it felt more comfortable this time.

“I’m sorry about last night, the voicemail, the girl. All of it.” He said.

“It’s okay. In fairness you don’t have to apologise about the girl, you are single.” You tried to joke and he tensed.

“No but I didn’t want you to think I’d moved on, you deserve better than that. As for being single, please don’t remind me.” He huffed slightly, you could see the pain, it was all over his face. You missed him dearly and he seemed so genuine about how sorry he was. You sighed before you spoke up again.

“How about I let you take me to dinner tomorrow night? You know start over?” You mumbled and his face lit up in the most genuine way you’d ever seen.

“Seriously? You wanna try again?” He was smiling now and you realised how much you’d missed seeing it.

“I’m prepared to try again but take it slowly.” You admitted.

“Whatever you want.” He was nodding profusely, it almost looked comical. “What time? I won’t be late I promise.”

“7?” You asked as you stood to collect your bag.

“I’ll be there at ten to.” He smiled as you made you’re way out of the coffee shop.

Impulse: *calls emergency meeting* Impulse: Announcement! Announcement! Impulse, with the announcer voice modifier: I have an announcement to make! I am done with my tasks! *they proceed to vote Impulse out*

...

*some people start chanting “MVP! MVP!” at Joker for finishing his tasks* Endless: B-L-T! B-L-T! Evil: Look what Timmy [the pig] turned into. Impulse: Uh oh. Ouch. Too soon, Evil! Too soon! Don’t tell Tango, I don’t think he knows! Tango, deadpan: Yeah I don’t know anything about anything like that.

...

Impulse: So last round I got thrown out for hitting the button. This round, I’m Button Barry. THAT’s not good…

...

*after Impulse gets kicked and Astro automatically becomes host* Impulse: This is Astro’s lobby, everybody listen to Astro’s rules or ejection into space. Astro: Um… no making fun of people for being short. Impulse: Alright shorty, that’s enough rules for me.

...

Impulse: Watch me scan. *hops on the scanner* Alright, got it? Now watch me nae nae. Joker: Oh GOD. I’m outta here. Shut up. Impulse: *laughs* Joker: If I could kill you right now, I would.

...

Astro: Impulse, I have to know. What was the joke that I killed you for? Impulse: Oh, I said “watch me scan”, then I got on and I said “now watch me nae nae”. Astro: Yeah, you deserved to die.

...

Tango: Hey guys, I’m going up to O2 here. Just letting you know. *pause* Joker: Did you hear something? Impulse: I dunno, Tango-. He always talks. I dunno what that was about.

...

Joker: Yeaaah, but you are kind of weird, though. Endless: Just for that, I’m not gonna do any more tasks. Joker, laughing: Yes you are. *long pause* Endless: You’re right. Joker: I know. Endless: I’ll see you later. Joker: See you, buddy.

...

*Pearl wins as jester because nobody believed Impulse when he said it was Evil* Impulse, with the announcer voice modifier: Attention attention! I am playing with a shipful of idiots!

...

*after dying early* Impulse: I was looking forward to being Brody’s lover :( *pause* Impulse: That sounds bad.

...

Impulse: They’re just mad cuz I’m fast, that’s all. They jelly. They all jelly cuz I can get my tasks done like a boss. Joker: Who ARE you?! Impulse: *laughs* Joker: I’m hip with what the new kids say. Astro: I’m… going over here now. Joker: What the new kids say nowadays. Impulse: Oh dude! Got my wires straight right away, poggers! Joker: Poggers?! Impulse: That was lit. Joker: Shut up!

...

Astro: All I’m gonna say, judging by the level of tasks that are completing, people are not killing very well, and I’m actually done with my tasks before the first meeting even got called. Endless: You’re awfully judgy, Astro. Tango: Wooow, look at you. Joker: That’s harsh. Evil: Okay, Judgy McJudgerson. Impulse: Way to make the imposters cry themselves to sleep tonight. Jeez. Astro: There’s only two people I’m judging here and that’s the imposters. Step up your game.

...

Evil: Mrs T, I love you. You’re amazing, you know that? Mrs Tango: Aww…! I love you too. Evil: Obviously, you follow me on twitter.

...

*Impulse caught Etho dancing around a body* Etho, giggling: So here’s what happened. Impulse came out of O2 and he was like “Etho, don’t go in there”. Impulse: *bursts out laughing* Etho: And I was like- I’m gonna go in there, right? And he’s like “no, Etho, don’t go in there”. Tango: I- Okay. Etho: And then he closes the door on me. Tango: I think we can establish that Etho is the jester now, right? Okay. Etho: And I open the door, and then I go and I check and there’s a dead Joker. Tango: This is- Etho, stick to solving crimes, man.

...

(the same round) *Etho caught Tango and Endless killing* Etho, laughing: So Endless- He was like “Etho, don’t go in there”. *everyone laughs* Etho: And I was like “make me”. And he couldn’t, he couldn’t stop me. Endless: 100% not Etho. Etho: And then I caught Tango, and Tango was also like “Etho, don’t go in there”. Tango: Alright. Etho: So they’re the double killers; it wasn’t me. Tango: I am so confused right now!

...

*that same meeting, votes are revealed as being tied between Impulse and skipping* Impulse: WHAT?! Evil: What the-?! How did it land on Impulse?! Impulse, with the announcer voice modifier: Four of you are idiots.

...

(the same round) Etho: *calls emergency meeting* Endless: For god’s sake, Etho! Etho: Hey everybody :D *pause* Etho: Okay, so, Impulse and Pearl just went to specimen together and Impulse killed Pearl without any hesitation. Pearl: What do you mean? Endless: Pearl’s not dead! Pearl: I’m still alive! Tango: Oh my gosh. Evil: Etho! Why are you doing this?! Etho: Vote Impulse. Tango: Has he been drinking?!

...

*the same meeting, the votes are tied between Tango and Impulse* Tango: OH my GOSH! Evil: Oh my god! Impulse, with the announcer voice modifier: Three of you are idiots. Endless: Well, you convinced one of them, Impulse. Brody: Pearl, aren’t you happy you joined us for this nonsense?

...

(that same round) *Etho’s body is reported* Evil: The Endless had had enough of Etho’s… stuff and cut him in half right in front of me. Endless: Let’s discuss this, Evil. *pause* Endless: We both know it was Impulse.

...

(later in the same meeting) Impulse: Let me explain, Endless. The better play would’ve been to say you were sheriff and you picked up on the fact that Etho was trying to overplay jester but he was actually covering up for the fact that he was imposter. But now that you haven’t done that- Endless: Don’t tell me how to play this game, Impulse. Astro was clearly morphed as me. Impulse: Oooookay. Astro: Where did I come into this conversation?!

...

(after the round) Astro: So Impulse, you kept saying there were four idiots. There wasn’t, there was just one idiot. Evil: *laughs* Astro: An idiot who voted for you every round. Impulse: What?! Astro: I used my mayor votes on you and I was committed at that point.

hi, ryan!! not an ask or anything, just a little rant. i can’t eloquently describe how i’m feeling rn, but, like. god, am i tired of lgbt+ discourse! it’s so exhausting. i stepped on twitter for a while looking for a carrd tutorial and i ended up somehow stumbling into a rabbit hole and finding ppl spewing hate towards lesser understood identities again.

like … i can get not understanding and being confused bc it is their experience, not urs, but it starts getting veeery weird when u start wishing other queer ppl awful days just bc they, personally, label themselves as mspec and as a lesbian, or as straight and as gay. it’s just??? I am on the verge of tears. what r u accomplishing. yeah, ppl have very complex relationships w their gender and their attraction. we’ve known this. sometimes someone needs multiple labels to fully describe it, even if they seem contradictory.

aside from that, though, i hope you’re doing well! i absolutely love ur blog it’s such a safe space and u r so warm and welcoming <33

Ohhhh yeah anon I totally feel you, discourse is fukcing draining

I’m not even on twitter, seems like hell so I’m sticking to the hellsite akdjfkfk I’ve seen a bit of discourse on there and it seems pretty bad

OH YEAH ITS SO WEIRD like people are legit posting “i hope all mspec lesbians have an awful day” and i’m like what the fuck mate?? What?! The actual fuck?? Like listen I don’t understand a lot of stuff, I still don’t quite understand straight lesbians but I’m not gonna be a fucking asshole?? Let other people live their lives Christ

YES and it doesn’t accomplish anything!! Literally just bullies people into using more acceptable labels does nothing for the community like there’s actual issues but sure this is what you’re focusing your attention on

I’m so sorry you had to see that shit anon, that sucks 🫂 Try to stay away from those spaces and take care of your mental healthy kay? Block if needed and stay in more inclusive spaces.

Ajskakd I’m doing okay!! Mental illness fucking me over as always but I can daydream about dead gay people to cope so I’m good lol

Akskdk mate tysm omg <3 You have no idea how much that means to me akskakd I’m so glad that I can make a safe space!!

Have a great day bestie!! Sending my love <3

Spring/Summer/Fall 2013 - The End(?)

Click here for an appropriately sad Swiftgron breakup playlist.

I don’t know if it’s important or not but Dianna wishes several friends a late happy birthday on twitter, apologizing for missing the actual day through this spring and summer.  It seems like maybe she’s going through something (like a bad break up?) because it’s not like her to miss friends’ birthdays.

March 26, 2013 - Maybe a relevant tweet?

April 7, 2013 - Dianna tweets a photo of James Dean in a day dream like setting:

April 16, 2013 - The article that outed them:

Someone made a fake article that said Swiftgron was dating:

Dianna tweets seven times that day which is a bit much for her.

The hashtag here stands out to me:

The fake article goes viral and all week people are tweeting about the possibility that Dianna and Taylor are dating.

April 23, 2012

It seems to culminate on this day.  Many people are buzzing about Swiftgron and this actress tweets:

That’s right at midnight.

About 12 hours later Dianna deletes her public Tumblr:

On that same day Dianna reblogs several things on her private Tumblr.  These two stand out to me:

She reblogged both of these posts and the only hashtag they had in common was “#lost love” - she was searching that hashtag.

I think it’s very clear that today is the day Swiftgron 2.0 broke up.  I believe they were forced to by their management teams due to being outed.

April 24, 2013 - Taylor seems regretful/stressed out she screenshots her text to Austin and posts:

I think Dianna’s obviously upset about this and as an act of defiance she tweets at Taylor a few days later (Taylor does not respond.)

April 29, 2013

Instead Taylor posts on Dianna’s Birthday (April 30) a silly google search (very DIanna in nature tbh) with a play on the lyrics from 22:

Taylor had the week of Dianna’s 27th birthday off of the Red tour (it was scheduled like that) but as far as we know they did not hang out.

May 4, 2013 - Ours

At her first show since their supposed break-up, Taylor performs Ours as a surprise song. She introduces it by saying: “This is a song about how, when you fall in love everybody starts to give you their opinion. I imagine it could be really hard to make a relationship last, I wouldn’t know. But, given that everyone is giving you their own opinion about it, I think that the only opinion you should really listen to is yours and if you love that person, that should be all that matters.”

Dianna dyes her hair brown and goes to Morocco a week later with Ashley (”You searched the world for something else, To make you feel like what we had”) from about May 11 - May 14 or 15.  While there she attends the A Small World relaunch. ASW could be viewed as a bit “sketchy” if you will.  I think this is where she befriends Olivia Wilde.

This is Dianna’s first (known) trip to Morocco (Derek Blasberg is there too) but she seems to be drawn there over and over again after this, even marrying Winston Marshall there (and possibly meeting another boyfriend, Gus Wenner there.)

May 19, 2013 - Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas

Taylor wins 8 awards and says this during her acceptance speech:

This and the performance of Ours makes me think Taylor is bitter about a break up right now, even though publicly she broke up with Harry back in January.

This is also the event where Taylor is famously grossed out by Justin and Selena’s hetero nonsense and does this:

It seems like as always, Taylor has a lot going on right now...some kind of drama with Justin is boiling but it’s possible she’s also referencing her breakup with Dianna in her acceptance speech.

Dianna pops back up in NYC.

May 20, 2013 - WLW icon Kristen Stewart apparently spends the night at Taylors?

May 28, 2013 - Taylor plays Haunted on the Red Tour and gives a speech:

"This is a song that I haven't played on this tour so far. It came up when one of my friends tweeted the lyrics to it today and it reminded me that I haven't played this song in about two years. It has to do with the fact that, you know people talk about ghosts all the time. You just kind of imagine it being this supernatural thing, but there's another kind of ghost and it's just a person who is out there walking in the world or just doesn't love you anymore and that's a whole different kind of being haunted." Seems like she’s really going through it.

July 2, 2013 - Anniversary of Hyannis Port trip and interesting private Tumblr post from Dianna:

Bad things happen this summer.  Cory Monteith passes away and Taylor is assaulted at a meet and greet by a DJ.

July 2013 - Dianna buys a house in LA (I Wish You Would)

August 2013 - Dianna’s whosirmesir moniker gets outed and she stops blogging under that tumblr account.

August 14, 2013 - Taylor is in a weird place according to the Lover diaries:

1.  she seems to have basically written The Lakes here

2.  she’s really harping on themes she ends up addressing in I Know Places, Out of the Woods, and Wonderland

August 29, 2013 - Dianna steps out with restaurateur Nick Mathers.  

Not sure what to make of this one.  Dianna seems to date two types of men:  1. teeny bopper actors for bearding and pr purposes (it generally seems) and 2. rich businessmen.  Nick is type 2, but their relationship is reported on as if it’s PR.  “Sources” call up gossip sites to fill them in on the relationship and both their projects get plugged along with announcements on them as a couple:

I don’t know if they were more or less legit but she goes out with Taylor five days later...

September 4, 2013 - The Fun! Concert:

Swiftgron’s last pre-Kaylor public sighting - they go to a Fun! concert in LA

It’s just a split instant of video footage but Sarah Hyland uploads this to Vine and it does not look like Dianna is enjoying herself:

Note:  It kind of looks like DIanna has her arm around Taylor’s waist and also the person to the right of Taylor is Selby Drummond who is still friends with DIanna as of writing of this masterpost (December 2020) and who still appears to be a fan of Taylor’s.

Dianna does look miserable but I do think it’s interesting they seem to be making an effort to hang out on the two year anniversary of their public (perhaps private as well) first meeting.

Dianna tweets about the concert the next day:

September 6, 2013 - Taylor plays Speak Now as the surprise song on the Red tour.  Interesting given the timing of Dianna and her new boyfriend being public just one week before this.

September 8, 2013 - Taylor plays Sad, Beautiful Tragic for the first time ever live and gives this speech:

"I kind of feel like playing a song I've never ever played live before. This is um a song that I wrote about how you know just because something's over doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly beautiful. Cause another lesson I've learned is not all stories have a happy ending and you have to learn how to deal with that. So this is a song about a story that didn't end so happily but was still supposed to happen. This is called Sad, Beautiful, Tragic."

I don’t think this song was originally written about Dianna but I do think at this time while they stumble through the last phase of their relationship Taylor was inspired to sing it.

October 2013 - Taylor writes I Wish You Would, a song inspired by an ex who had recently bought a house near her driving past her house.  It’s thought to be about Harry but Harry didn’t buy a house in LA until March 2014.  But of course we know Dianna did buy a house near Taylor’s in LA earlier this fall.

November 11, 2013 - The music video for “She’s Just Another Girl” premiers starring Dianna looking stunning in high fashion drag, dressed up as the lead singer, and lip syncing the words to the song:

Some lyrics to the song include:

All of my friends say I should move on She's just another girl, don't let her stick it to your heart so hard And all of my friends say it wasn't meant to be And it's a great big world, she's just another girl

I could be reeling them in left and right Something's got a hold on me, tonight Well maybe all of my friends should confront The fact that I don't want another girl

I think it’s at least possible that Dianna was drawn to this project because the lyrics resonated to her given what she was going through with Taylor at the time.

November 12, 2013 - Day of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show rehearsals and Dianna posts this (now deleted) picture:

November 13, 2013 - Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show where Taylor performs and Karlie Kloss walks the runway.

Dianna posts this picture (now deleted) of her at Emma Stone’s birthday party from 11 months previous:

It’s likely she’s looking at Taylor in this photo who was seated across from her.

It’s a very random picture to post.  It wasn’t titled as a throwback and it wasn’t an exact year after the picture was taken (prompting some kind of happy birthday shout out to Emma Stone or anything) - just a random picture of Dianna smiling, likely at Taylor. 

November 17, 2013 - Dianna posts a (now deleted) photo about missing someone:

November 21, 2013 - Taylor posts lyrics from a hopeful love song about a troubled relationship:

Lyrics:

December 9, 2013 - Dianna listens to Pale Blue Eyes

Lyrics are about being emo over a lost love with Blue Eyes:

Sometimes I feel so happy Sometimes I feel so sad Sometimes I feel so happy But mostly you just make me mad Baby, you just make me madLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountaintop Thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything I've had, but couldn't keep I've had, but couldn't keep

Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure And strange as what I see I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me I put in front of meLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely Stuff it in a cup She said, "Money is like us in time It lies, but can't stand up" Down for you is upLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyesIt was good what we did yesterday And I'd do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves you're my best friend But it's truly, truly a sinLinger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

December 11, 2013 - You know the drill...Dianna posts a now deleted photo to Instagram:

December 13, 2013 - Dianna posts an attention grabbing photo on Taylor’s Birthday

Conclusions - Swiftgron very clearly goes through a rough breakup due to being outed. 

Then they attempt some sort of reconciliation - even hanging out (date night?) on the second anniversary of their Fairfax Flea Market meetcute, but it goes wrong.  

Taylor is on tour for much of this time and Dianna is posting angst ridden and peculiar Instagram posts exactly at the time Taylor meets Karlie.

Stalker, Art Thief, Gaslighter: MissNene

WARNING: THIS POST IS FUCKIN MASSIVE. Listen up my lovely followers and anti art thief hunters, do I have a fucking doozy for you. This psycho gaslighter has raked up a high number of victims over a few years and all were effected in the exact same way: gaslighted to fuck, emotionally abused, guilt tripped, and begged for free shit and sympathy. Who is this train wreck? She goes by a few usernames, but most commonly known as MissNene and she also goes by MangoNene.

MissNene on Deviantart MissNene on Twitter MissNene on instagram MissNene on VK

Let’s dive on in to this forest fire of fuckery shall we? MissNene who’s real name is Renee Mason-Orani has a rager for the digimon Beelzemon and this is the primary cause for all her psychotic bullshit. She tracks down any artist that draws Beelzemon and begins her onslaught of non stop harassment pretty much right away. First it starts with non stop PMs usually of seemingly innocent stuff like “hey how r u”, “hi”, “hello”, etc etc etc. If Nene’s victim falls for the bait then she will begin dumping her own personal life entirely onto the shoulders of her victim in massive waves of self-pity with no regards to her victim at all. Nene will then move onto pathetic begging for free art which appears to be her core motive. When she’s denied getting free shit she begins gaslighting the fuck out of her victim with more waves of self-pity and uncalled-for guilt tripping. When this step is ignored by her victim, Nene jumps to the next step: talking shit about her victim on various discord servers and even to completely random strangers on the platforms she’s on (usually it’s artists she follows). This usually triggers her victims to finally block her crazy ass which sends Nene into her final stage: harassing strangers/ discords asking them to message the person who has blocked her on her behalf. Nene legit tries to get complete randos involved in her own drama and problems. Holy. Fucking. Christ.

Once blocked, Nene has been documented to completely block-evade her victims by using third party block-evading sites such as Nitter and/ or ask randos to “check out *insert victim’s username here* profile”. This behaviour is stalking. 

Current list of MissNene’s victims that she is still stalking and block-evading: FireFlea-San Yasuhiro NotoriousNoire Wheat-Wesley Beelzegirl

It’s gotten to the point where Flea-San had to post a da journal about her situation dealing with MissNene. You can see that here. Beelzegirl also released a PDF file where she combined screenshots of her experience with Nene too and I have permission to share it. But here’s some screenshots that I have permission to share.

Beelzegirl aka Jeanne talking with a fellow victim of Nene who is obviously uncomfortable as fuck by Nene’s shit.

Nene pity-begging Jeanne to message NotoriousNoire even though Noire fucking blocked Nene’s asshole something fierce. I wonder why?!!!??

Nene obsessing over Flea-san and surprise! Flea-san has blocked her at this point.

A message from a random artist sent to Jeanne after Jeanne hard blocked Nene. Nene cried bullshit pity tears to a complete rando asking them to message Jeanne for them. LIKE HOLY FUCK?!

Nene is also a blatant art thief. Yes sir, she blatantly steals art from others without any remorse and refuses to credit or ask permission. She blames her “disability” or that “she forgot”.

Behold Nene’s shitty ass stolen art:

Well that’s strange because it looks a hell of a lot like this art:

No credit. No permission. Nothing. When asked if Nene asked permission to use this design, Nene ignored the question. 

Did you also notice some more horse shit happening here? Yes indeed, Nene claims Ariel from The Little Mermaid is her own original digimon character. Ariel. From fucking Disney. Is her oc. I don’t even even know what to say about that because it’s that ridiculous. 

TL;DR This crazy bitch steals art, stalks Beelzemon fan artists, pity begs for free art, and cries bullshit pity party tears if she can’t afford a commission and doesn’t get free shit. After being blocked she hard core stalks, harasses others, and begs random people to block evade for her all the while talking shit about the artist who blocked her.  CRINGE LEVEL IS OVER 9000.
