#I hate the fake dudebro “fans so’’ much

[mylastmoleculeofserotonin]

It is absolutely wild to me that some people are borderline accusing Hedland of misappropriating funds for the Acolyte because, at least to me, the neither the production value, writing, coreo nor acting were any worse than shows like Andor or the Mandalorian. But more importantly, I wonder why a show made after two very important strikes in the theatre industry may cost a bit more per episode. Like maybe, they’re actually paying people and keeping working conditions safer? And honestly, considering how much hate everyone working on the show received, I would be fully supportive of them to use their funds to go on a nice long vacation away from everything, they deserve it.

There are so many people who ship different couples(ns/nh/sk/sh) and have started using sns as a shield in arguments and to harass people. The SNS/NH Twitter Brazil community has basically merged in their hatred for Sakura, but now there are NH fans claiming they ship and love SNS, but every other day they're hating on Sasuke. and bashing sns to praise nh/hinata

I've definitely seen nh/sk/sh use narusasu as a cudgel in shipping arguments over there. But narusaku fans are mainly divided into the self-insert multisaku fans that dislike narusasu and the other side that doesn't like how sasusaku was handled in canon. The latter doesn't really seem to bring up narusasu, to be honest, which is funny because they used to be more tied to the sns fandom pre ending. Like the mindset of sns fans then was that if any het ship would be canon they'd prefer it to be narusaku because the writing was better than that of nh/ss and narusaku fans generally thought sns had the best content and was intentionally baited though not explicitly meant to be romantic.

That said, I don't think they've merged in their hate for Sakura. SNS fans there interact more with NH fans more now because 1. SS are overtly insecure routine harassers and bigots that like to dog pile people, SO NH fans are perceived to be kinder and more welcoming in comparison, and 2. SNS fans don't see the problems with NH as a ship because it's not as much of an obvious disaster as SS (though personally I can't see how a literal guilt trip genjutsu isn't terrible but I digress) so SNS fans don't mind it and make bot tweets about how Sasuke and Hinata are similar and Naruto has the same type (ignoring the fact that Hinata was made more similar to Sasuke to make the NH relationship more viable).

And you're right about them being fake and hating Sasuke/SNS. They're not as aggressive so as I said the perception is that they're not as bad as SS, but you can find the "progressive pro SNS" NH fans happily interacting and agreeing with dudebros that make tweets about SNS being related reincarnations (ignoring the fact that in SP's quest to make Hinata relevant and similar to Sasuke, they suddenly made her receive the chakra of The Sage of Six Paths' sibling in the Last — in order to copy Naruto and Sasuke respectively having Ashura and Indra's chakra — and that following their logic Naruto and Hinata would be "related"). They happily harass SNS artists and fan accounts who simply mind their business. They happily make posts about the LGBTQ+ community being an abomination.

When they do acknowledge SNS its to try and make it seem like Sasuke one-sidedly loves Naruto and they actively try to undermine Sasuke's narrative role in Naruto's life to give Hinata more relevance and then complain when people push back against the misinformation they spread.

And I will also simply never forget nh/ss fans platforming a homophobic religious supremacist (who worshipped Hinata and stated that Sasuke could be removed from the story and nothing would change but that Hinata was crucial to the plot) who was particularly notorious for going into the sns tag to harass people. nh/ss fans both used to team up to antagonize sns/narsak fans and only stopped post ending in order to have boring and shallow "my self insert is prettier/more successful and has a better husband" competitions. They will always be equally terrible.

i hate being in a male dominated fandom, it's just misogyny after misogyny. i KNOW there are way worst things in a patriarchy but it's just so annoying. you scroll to see nice posts and fanarts about the characters you love and 80% of the time it's just men making fun of female characters, mocking them, hating on them, sexualizing them and being misogynistic to them ; men making fun of female fans ; men using memes from the series/movie for their dudebro or misogynistic shit ; and overall just men being misogynistic assholes. i'm a big fan of dragon ball (yes, despite all the flaws of this manga/anime) and recently i've started to rewatch the series again, you know, and while doing this i've scrolled through the online fandom a bit and it's just so... disgusting. yesterday in like 20 minutes i've seen dozens of posts and memes calling Chichi (the main character's wife and also a badass) a c*nt, saying that Kale (a powerful warrior) should "go back to the kitchen", calling various female warriors (like that blue lady from universe 2 in dragon ball super) things like "pigs" or "b*tch", calling some male characters "pussy" for having trouble fighting some female characters like Caulifla, saying shit like "why doesn't bulma build the time machine naked" or "two things from dragon ball i would like to get into : that spaceship and N°18", saying it's "stupid" and "shameful for the anime" to have "that many" strong female characters... like it was almost just men being horrible and misogynistic to female characters, using dragon ball memes to say misogynistic shit like "when your girl pretends she has a headache for the 3rd time this month *screenshot of a male warrior punching a female warrior*" and mocking female fans. that last one infuriates me sooo much by the way. i've seen a very cool young woman in a wonderful Gokū cosplay and all the comments were like "go back to the kitchen", "i am tired of women pretending they understand dragon ball" (as if this anime/manga was hard to understand anyway lol), "fuck off fake fan", "no man will want to fuck you in this cosplay", "i miss when dragon ball was for men only", "don't you want to take it off instead" and so on... that's just so disgusting and exhausting. we can't even enjoy things in peace, men will ruin everything, even a fucking online fandom. anyway misogynistic men in fandom kill yourselves challenge

[helluva-dump]

Ahhhhh here’s something I’ve been thinking about sharing but I got so nervous how fans and antis may take this 🥲🥲🥲

Yeah so, I wasn’t too keen on Adam at first since the idea of him being the leader of arch angels and he looks too similar to Blitzo… But after doing a lot of roleplays with a friend of mine (WHO REALLY IS GOOD AT WRITING ADAM. LIKE KEEPING HIM HOW VIV WANTED BUT STILL MAKE HIM KIND OF CREEPY ) So Adam is a character I’m actually fascinated by. Mainly because he sounds so cringe that I wanna shit on him in my stories XD

Though, I also want to write him as an intimidating villain too.

While me and said friend we talked about our headcanons for Heaven and how Adam was originally a sinner… I feel like that was Viv’s vision. I think he looks more like a demon and does vulgar language is because he’s a sinner who faked his redemption to get the easy way out.

But tbh it works perfect! Since I kind of originally planned for Lucy to have a horrible experience with some angelic priest… but I scrapped it since I wasn’t sure how that work, but since Vivziepop made Adam.. it somehow made me wanna go back to that idea using him.

Basically he acts like a dudebro chud with entitlement and thinks he can do whatever because he’s the “first man of God” which gave him a superiority complex. And he acts like a massive creep to Lucy, so a villainous crush trope.

After his two failed relationships with Lilith and Eve, who are promincuous and defiant in his eyes… He was drawn to Lucy due to her kind, Caring, and humble nature. How she’s a guardian Angel who happens to cook, clean, and is very good with children. To him, that is his ideal woman. A submissive tradwife that can never ever question him and is a doormat for him to take advantage of. But unlucky for him, she never had interest in him and always calls his shit out and rejects his advances.

But in a serious note, I actually want to take what Viv was gonna do for Stolas and blitzo (before Romanticizing them), that she got into a coercion relationship as well as SA.

So trigger warning, he once found out about her dirty little secret (like finding her erotica novels she enjoys reading, Lucy is Aegosexual so she only enjoys that in fiction) and decided it’s the perfect blackmailing. He found these books of hers and threatens to tell all the arch angels about her sinful books to get herself banned.

Now in order from her to behave and comply, he basically wanted her to be his girlfriend in return. And as much as she hates him and doesn’t want to… she never wanted to get banned.. Sure, she agreed and is stuck in a very co dependent relationship with him.

I’m not gonna make him super one dimensional, part of me wants to have him actually act like a narcissist. One who always sweetens her up anytime he makes her feel bad. Or makes everyone believe he’s a caring boyfriend to her. But behind closed doors, he’s terrible.

I’ve been a bit nervous to post this… I know things like this are heavy subjects but from personal experiences, I’m gonna try my best to portray a topic with care. This isn’t gonna be the actual oc x canon ship for Lucy, I actually plan to ship her work another canon character that she actually genuinely loves and feels safe with.

Also, I chose to write this because this is sadly a common thing with Christianity, the toxicity of purity culture and how it affects women and how a lot of disgusting so called preachers say sexist shit. (I watched God is Grey talking about one of them which inspired me ) but I also wanna show the good side of Christianity with someone like Lucy.

I don’t wanna treat this black and white, I genuinely wanna world build the Heaven side of the heaven since I love angelogy and I wish we got that in the show.

Oh and that Angel in the background on the first sketch, that’s a friend’s oc. He’s massively protective over Lucy like a little sister and doesn’t trust Adam.

Immortal Thor Annual #1 Reactions

Okay, I'm new enough to reading comics as they come out that I don't actually know what an annual is so I have no idea what to expect.

Yep, so if I didn't scare any and all dudebro followers away with my, erm, every other post, here's your reminder that I am, indeed, a "fake fan." Lol.

Okay, now that I got that off my chest. Spoilers for the rest of Immortal Thor? Probably. Maybe spoilers for the other current runs I haven't read? A bunch of the Annuals for other runs were marked Infinity Watch, so there might be some crossover. This is currently the only contemporary run I'm reading from Marvel right now, so if I'm confused by something definitely answered in a different run, I apologize for any frustration.

So this is basically what people think One-Punch Man is. (I was gonna say people who don't watch OPM, but I also don't watch OPM.)

Yay, there's my boi!

Well, at least he knows he's dumb as rocks

Please I want a Rocket cameo. I would literally cry

I hate Prince of Power so much

Ewing stahp

Oh SHIT!

Thor, honey, he is dumber than people think you are. You're gonna have to speak a lot more like you're explaining the plan to a three year old.

Nevermind. Preschoolers understand opposites. You're going to have to be even clearer.

Thor trick him into shotgunning some hydrogen peroxide. It wouldn't be that hard, and then you'd have the stone.

Hell yeah Hercules in two days. I better get to see his boyfriend too!

[captnjacksparrow]

hey! first of all your blog is my favorite naruto blog and second of all i had a question (idk if you’ve answered this already if so i’m sorry). so my question is why did “the last” retcon so many things? i mean it’s obvious as hell they only did so naruhina would somewhat work lol but i can’t get over the fact they really made naruto be this oblivious to what love is/means. literally the entire point of the anime was to show that naruto is the one who understands not through hate but through love so how the heck couldn’t he know what love looks like??? and it irks my soul to see that SO many naruto fans think that way… they really believe that naruto not having parents is why he doesn’t know what love is but the anime/manga established so many times that naruto DOES IN FACT KNOW what love is????? he has iruka, he has sasuke, he met his parents and realized that their sacrifice was out of LOVE so how tf couldn’t he know what love means? i’m sorry but this makes me so damn upset because i used to be somewhat okay with naruhina but now they’re getting on my nerves and especially their obnoxious fans who think naruhina is all that and is the epitome of true love LMFAOO. like shut the hell up. if that’s love then i don’t fucking want it man. their ship is so damn rushed, forced and tries sooooo hard to be sns. it’s funny to me how so many sns elements were pushed onto the narrative of naruhina (like hinata apparently being the first one to accept naruto 🤣🤣). even if someone were to ship naruhina they WOULD HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE that their ship is the result of fucking fan service cause it literally makes no sense. it makes no sense narrative wise (naruto manga/anime) + not even within their shitty lame ass the last movie. suddenly naruto can be put in a genjutsu? um since when? god this ships makes me so mad cause it just sucks in sooo many ways and it’s also so damn overrated 😭💀i mean everyone can ship whatever they want but i just don’t get or see what’s so special about naruhina??? leaving aside the fact that they have soo little screen time they just are so awkward together and that’s mainly cause hinata is weird as hell. i also dont get why so many people wish to have a love like naruhina or a partner like hinata LMFAO. hinata doesn’t do SHIT. she’s just standing there, being passive, watching and not acting on that EVER. how and why would anyone want a partner like that? truly blows my mind. sorry for the rant but i just dislike naruhina lmao.

LOL.... What a funny ride to read this🤭

[[Sakura stans who hate Hinata.... Do not Interact.]]

What’s so special about naruh**a??? I also don’t get why so many people wish to have a love like naruh**a or a partner like hinata LMFAO. 

Majority of People like NH and wish to have a partner like Hinata because she offers Servitude and Sex which boosts their Male Ego, Narcissism and their Sexual Fantasy. That's why Dudebros love this ship. Guys love Hinata purely because of her prospects... My asshole friend is the proof of that and I’ll attach another shit by the end of this post...

Self-Centered Girls who thinks that their PURE  feelings (Whatever the fuck that is!) for a Man and some Crocodile tears (a Damsel in Distress) are all enough to get what they want rather than doing a real Ground Work finds NH to be serving their fantasy. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Because all you have to do is to Cry (fakely) and Think about that person constantly. Poof!! You got that ‘Trophy’.

A Sexist & A Dominant Man with A Damsel in Distress. [[50 shades of Grey, Twilight kind of shits]]

Unfortunately people who like this dynamics are in the Majority.

Sakura and Hinata fits all the above mentioned criteria and that's precisely why Sasuke and Naruto never liked them and was very indifferent towards them, apart from the fact that both the boys already love each other. 

Sasuke and Naruto, both likes/admires people who are Selfless and Strong.

Here, Naruto was very much impressed with Sakura’s skills when she removed the Poison from Kankuro. [[Oh!! Please refrain from calling this as Romantic just because he was blushing... He blushed for Gaara too]]. It’s for this exact reason, Naruto, in his Monologue, confessed that 

“Truth was, I just wanted to be like you... You were the person I admired a lot”

Naruto couldn't reach out Sasuke because he felt inferior to Sasuke in terms of Strength.

Sasuke was seen impressed with Sakura's skills when she destroyed Juubi Clones.

But, this idiot Sakura instead of keeping up the momentum, she becomes that stupid Docile, Crying, Damsel in Distress in front of Sasuke.... hoping that Sasuke would like her... But it’s totally opposite. He likes people who are Strong and has some strong conviction. Like Naruto, Karin, Juugo, Suigetsu. 

N and S don’t cater to Dudebros’ and Damsel in Distress’ fantasies. Neither does the Author and that’s why he relentlessly mocked these girls till the very end.

[[It’s not surprising that the Ships Kishi got it right in his Manga were consisting of Strong Women who has some strong persona.... Like DanTsunade, ShikaTema, YahiKonan, MinaKushi.....]]

The Last movie is the complete opposite of what Naruto & the Author wanted... It’s a movie about what those Dudebros and Damsel in Distress’ wanted... Since they are the majority... We feel like NH is being loved by many.

It’s like you said... A FANSERVICE.

I can’t get over the fact they really made Naruto be this oblivious to what love is/means.

Actually... The Love they mean here is ‘Romantic Love’. 

Romantic love generally involves a mix of emotional and sexual desire, as opposed to platonic love. 

(I picked this definition from Google).

So, Last movie was all about teaching Naruto how to make him emotionally invested in Hinata and also to make him to get under the bedsheets with her. 

Anyone with 1/2 a Braincell would know that ‘Any type of Love can’t be taught.... It was always felt’.... Even if a child is an Orphan, and if that Child was allowed to grow in a peaceful atmosphere... It will realize the love automatically as it grows. 

This is Naruto seeing A Father and A Son who was talking about their Home.

And this poor child was yearning for that kind of Love. How can Naruto yearn for a ‘Love’ unless he feels it????

It’s the same for Romantic Love as well....

This dude has been doing Sexy Jutsu from Chapter 1 & Harem no Jutsu from Chapter 2 and in Chapter 91 he was seen peeking into Women’s bath as a prank. Well, Since Naruto was just 12... It’s all fine... [[Still, Guys usually mature during this age.... Whatever...]]

“Do you really Love me?? I’ll prove it when Darkness falls.... Come to my place, and Once, Just one time I’ll do anything you want your Hormones are...”

LMAO....These are the contents of Jiraiya’s Smut Novel..... 

All Guys of his age (15, 16) would pay any money to read these kind of racy stuffs, you know.... But Naruto seems to be finding it ‘Boring as Hell’..... Not to mention that this fact was referenced twice in the Manga.

A Boy who wasn’t affected by Naked Ladies and Smut Novels but was feeling uncomfortable and nervous in front of Naked Yamato and Sai in the Onsen Bath. And he kept on deflecting his feelings for Sasuke by fakely asking for Dates with Sakura.... Plus he asked his Mom that, “How did you fell in love with Dad” which is an implication that he knows the difference between Parental Love & Romantic Love...

And you are telling me that he needs a movie to ‘Awaken his Romantic Desire’????

Naruto is not Sai, For Shit Sake!!! Just Give me a Break!!!

Naruto knows all kinds of Love and he just doesn’t feel anything for Hinata despite she having all the ‘prospects’, a typical DudeBro would want.... It doesn’t mean that Naruto was Oblivious about such things, though. Otherwise he wouldn't be deflecting the nature of his own feelings for Sasuke.

How and why would anyone want a partner like that?

Ughhh!!! My eyes!!!! Cringe!!!! A meme from Dudebros...

Isn’t it self-explanatory???. They wanted something, they found it in Hinata and that’s why they want a partner like her.

@carmenserenity123456  ..... You sent me an ask asking Why Kishimoto said ‘like that’ in that interview regarding Hinata's b**bs... I almost finished writing answer to that ask with a better explanation... But Look at this meme.... This is why Kishi mocked that person for liking Hinata out of all the Strong Characters he created. Doesn't an author know about his own readers about what they like/hate about his own character???

[[Even in his Manga, he never sexualized her.]]

And that’s why these following panels are my favourites....

Look at that innocent and angelic face of Hinata..... “A Meal prepared for you especially by a Loved one....”

LOL.... Hinata preparing a meal with Love for her beloved Naruto-Kun... But Naruto’s thoughts immediately went back to Sasuke. 

Inner Me: What happened to that shit Last Movie, Naruto???? Why are you not thinking about Hinata???

It seems not only you, anon.... The Author also dislikes NH... VERY STRONGLY.

[passionesolja]

This needs to be said.

I think that if you’re a Star Wars creator and you spend a considerable amount of time provoking The Fandom Menace bitches, you cringe.

If you’re a fan and you wanna go back-and-forth with TFM, that’s fine.

But if you actively writing for Star Wars and I see half your Twitter feed is you tryna make these people angry and get a reaction out them, I lose all respect for you.

You can literally continue the story of these characters you claim to love but you’re not? You’re not even hinting at further develops or fleshing things things.

You’re just online. Twitter fighting with people who hate you when you could literally put your money where your mouth is and do something with these barely fleshed out characters get got in the Sequels.

That’s why I don’t think none of these “lol I’m a woman making dudebros mad I love Rey and TLJ” types actually like these characters or the films.

They’re just trying to get back at the dudebros.

Like I get you gotta bend the knee to the mouse and go through the bullshit but at least try.

How the fuck have I seen these types of people who literally have writers spots in Star Wars cosign Rey Skywalker but yet they do jackshit with her character other than wave her around on Twitter to make TFM mfs mad?

If you love the sequels and love Rey so much like you claim, do something with this character.

If you don’t like her like that, just admit straight up that you only like to make the other political side angry.

I can’t stand seeing these entitled, Star Wars writers partake in the in-fandom culture war and not make any tangible efforts with these characters they claim are so positive and love.

Bitch you don’t like Rey, Finn, Poe, or the Sequel Trilogy, you just like making people with the differing social views mad.

Fake love, bro, I tell ya smh.

[angels-heap]

Okay, that’s it. I have officially had it. 

After I finish my current WIP, I’m done writing for Freehoun until the whatever-the-hell-is-going-on calms down. 

I’m not seeing much bullshit on Tumblr anymore because I guess I’ve blocked most of the shit-stirrers or they’ve blocked me, but I made the mistake of looking for HL content on other sites recently and... yikes. The amount of misogyny disguised as wokeness and straight up vitriol I’m seeing directed towards canon HL fans from the “I’ve never even played Half Life but Freehoun is canon and you must be a raging homophobe if you even insinuate otherwise or talk about the female characters” crowd is truly appalling, and I just don’t feel comfortable creating content that will appeal to these people, who are apparently not as much of a minority as I originally thought. 

Even more shockingly, this is separate from the Freemance discourse, for the most part. People don’t just hate Freemance; they hate Alyx. Like, a lot. They hate that she exists, they don’t think she’s interesting, and they sound suspiciously like garden variety misogynists with the vocabulary they use to tear her character to shreds for simply existing and “standing in the way” of their gay ship. (They also hate the vague insinuation that Barney Calhoun might’ve had a canon-ish(?) female partner, but so few of them have actually played the games or explored the lore that this doesn’t seem to come up much.)

Side note: The amount of obnoxious reddit dudebro-style homophobia I’m seeing in response to Freehoun fanworks on other sites is also appalling, especially in the Year of Our Lord 2020. So I definitely have a renewed appreciation for how lucky I am to have found an online community of chill, normal, non-hateful people to surround myself with... and I see why people who create non-canon/non-“heterosexual” content for HL are a little defensive, but that doesn’t excuse some of their behavior towards people who are neutral/positive towards their fanworks. 

The fact that the kind of hatred that should be directed towards the homophobes is being directed towards totally chill people who dare ship anything other than Freehoun or show interest in the female characters from the series is honestly disgusting. I've come to expect this kind of “who gives a fuck about Alyx, she’s just a pretty face for the player Gordon to jerk off to” bullshit from the reddit dudebros. There’s no excuse for this shit from the fake-woke tumblr crowd who are throwing female characters under the bus for their delightful but non-canon gay ship and telling themselves this is somehow a progressive stance. 

I picked the wrong fucking time to branch out with my writing and I’ve sure as hell learned my lesson. 

[tibo30]

Eh, we can defend its practicality but let's not pretend that hot take makes sense in the game either. Game: Geralt is the one to make a wish that supposedly forces Yen to love him because that's totally in-character and not gross. Also game: Geralt's feelings for Yen vanish after the wish is lifted while she still loves him as if HE was the one forced into this, not the opposite. Dudebros: thank god he is out of that fake relationship, she was manipulative and abusive to him! Thanks I hate it.

CDPR was forced to make these dumb decisions with Yen’s character because they already made Triss a fan favorite in the previous games . They had to add the option to break Yen’s heart and justify Geralt’s decision to be with Triss.

But it’s a different circumstance in the show, they didn’t need to convey the message that Geralt’s wish was “hi can you make this woman fall in love with me? Thanks” .. it was never like that. And as the previous anon said; Geralt’s wish was the least of their problems. Geralt was selfish and scared of his own feelings while Yen was scared of her not being able to give him whatever he wanted from her + her desire to have something more out of their relationship, a child. Something neither one of them is able to have naturally.

Geralt’s wish wasn’t the crux of their problem at all, the one person who was able to salvage their relationship was Ciri, she’s the “something more” in this story.. this is whole saga for you. Yes, there is politics and END OF THE WORLD kind of shit but at the heart of it, The Witcher is all about this family... I love the books so much and I can talk about them for HOURS .

[mw-draws]

You know what? I don't really ship thasmin all that much, but I'm respectful of the ship and the people who ship it. I don't hate the ship at all and I don't say anything about it. But you know what I do hate? When people (nmd dudebros) say horrible things about the ship and the people who ship it. They call them "fake fans" and mock them because they've apparently never seen Classic Who (God forbid) (and even then, they probably a. Don't have an easy way of watching it or b. Don't have enough money to buy all the dvds or c. It's none of your damn business. It's only when people completely disregard Classic Who I get annoyed) and it's horrible. I hate looking at comments like "ew, the thasmin shippers🤢" or mock them for no other reason than because of something they like and that level of toxicity should not be in the Doctor Who fandom. If Yaz was a guy and people were shipping them with the 13th Doctor, there wouldn't be as much of an uproar, would there? There wouldn't be as much hate and disgusting things said towards them. The homophobia and hate that come from these people is disgusting and I hate that they are in the same fandom as me. I don't really see what's there, but I don't go and spread hate because I don't ship it (in all fairness though, it was basically hinted at and shown on screen in arachnids in the UK, you can't deny that 👀). The level of hate that's directed to this ship and its shippers is so toxic that its basically homophobia at this point and I hate it. If you don't ship it because you don't see the Doctor in another romantic relationship after River (like myself) then that's fine! You're allowed your opinions and preferences, but if you're spreading hate because it's a gay ship and you don't like the 13th Doctor just because she's a woman, then that's not fine! It's the direct opposite of fine and I'm fucking sick of it. Grow the fuck up and leave people alone.

The Book Club: My Analysis

 I just posted a long look at the ATOM analysis but I couldn't comment on their posts because it would have been too confusing.  Here is where I will make comments to their analysis.  As always my comments in parenthesis and italicized.

In this first post, notice that Abby isn’t looking for big themes and symbols-although she did catch the big ones- instead she is picking out single words and short phrases and drawing analogies to Darren. This is the literature version of cutting up an already short video into 1-2 seconds, slowing it down for drama and making it a gif. It’s how you distort the truth. 

**********************************************

December 26, 2019 by this is a submission to ajw (X)

Submission from a friend (I posted my brief thoughts at the end). Major spoilers below. Scroll past if you haven’t read and don’t want to know.

First off, just in the note to the readers, I knew this book was going to be full of some good stuff.

Obviously, all interpretations are my own, after my first read through.

“A tale of magic follows a group of young fairies as they fight for acceptance in an oppressive world where magic is outlawed and despised. This story is very close to my heart, and writing it was the most challenging and emotional process I’ve experienced as an author to date. …… I hope it encourages and comforts anyone who may be fighting their own battle for acceptance and equality.”

Fairies= anyone feeling different or told they can’t be who they are, perhaps including the LGBT community? Hmm.. Close to his heart? What closer to his heart than the reality he’s living?  (Yes, it is definitely the LGBTQ community. If you couldn’t tell from reading the story Chris says “For me, the magic in A Tale of Magic is an allegory for being gay.” and faires are the people who have magical abilities. This is a story he calls “close to my heart”  because he is a gay man who grew up in a town that is now represented by Devin “the dunce” Nunes- so super fake-religious, judgemental and intolerant. He’s been getting mail from gay kids for a decade and he wrote a story to tell his truth and Abby is turning it into a story about Darren and the reality she has created for Chris to be living)

“If we want to change the world’s opinion it must be encouraged, not forced– and nothing encourages people like a good spectacle.”

Hmm… a spectacle? Sounds familiar. You can’t force anyone to believe anything, but it can be encouraged by opening your eyes to a good spectacle, like say a wedding, and realizing that it just doesn’t make sense if you open your eyes. Nuff said. (Except in this case Mrs. Weatherberry is saying they need to encourage people to accept magic not force them to and a good spectacle is the best way to encourage change. For this to be a reference to the wedding, Chris would have to be happy about the wedding). 

One of the books that Brystal comes across is by Daisy Peppernickel. I think that speaks for itself. It’s clearly known that Daisy is a certain someone’s nickname, especially used by the part of his fans that believe in Daisy. (This is stupid. It’s a silly, British-sounding name- not a reference to Darren. I can’t imagine a Chris celebrating the fandom’s fetishization of Darren’s efferent movements by labeling it “Daisy”) 

“.. each author’s cause of death was EXECUTED FOR CONSPIRACY AGAINS THE KINGDOM. … It was a graveyard for truth and an archive of people the Justices had silenced.”

Deleted tweets, accounts vanishing into thin air. This sounds a lot like the conspiracies against (str8) fandom. It’s no secret that people have been silenced. (yes, deleted tweets, accounts vanishing in thin air (what?) are exactly conspiracy against the fandom.  Both Chris and Darren are super worried about a handful of fans in the Str8 fandom.  You guys MATTER so much Chris included you in his book. He loves you, dudes).  

“All the books in the secret room were written by people who felt and thought exactly like she did, by people who questioned information, who criticized social restrictions, who challenged the systems set in place, and who weren’t afraid to make their ideas known.”

Questioning information? Challenging the system? Not afraid to make their ideas known? Can’t think of anybody that might do that. (It’s almost like Chris was talking about all the brave people who push back against society’s unfair treatment of the disenfranchised and minority persons who are discriminated against whether that is because of their race, nationality, gender, age or income. I know for a FACT he was NOT talking about the cc fandom. who do not do these things for the better good of society but rather for their own needs. Chris was honoring people like Mrs. Weatherberry and MLK, Rosa Parks, Harvey Milk,, people who push boundaries to make positive changes for the good of all people. What you all do is petty and based not on genuine inconsistencies in the system but rather your own refusal to accept that you are wrong and have always been wrong.)  

“Personally, I think life is way to complicated for anyone’s life to be set in stone.”

Even though D seems to be in a death sentence, there’s way more to life and his fate is not set in stone. C believes in his man, and knows he can overcome this. (Um what?)

“Sometimes as  a survival method, fairies suppress their magic so deep within themselves that it becomes extremely difficult to reach it.”

This reminds me of D’s dudebro persona that he brings out. He’s suppressing himself so far that at times he’ll turn himself into a different caricature of himself. We all know Daisy is in there somewhere under the layers of D-bag. (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. You mean when Darren is acting exactly like Darren?  People are like onions, they have layers. Dude bro is one of Darren’s layers. Not understanding that Darren is who Darren proves that you aren’t are the one who isn’t actually paying attention. It’s so obvious )  

“It’s very hard watching someone you love in so much pain.”

C watching the person he loves get knocked down over and over, he’s speaking directly from his own experience here. (How do you know this? Chris has never once suggested he finds life difficult right now or that he is in pain.  It’s almost like you made it up)  

“Horence had the misfortune of falling in love with a witch. … Naturally, such a relationship was forbidden, so for over a decade, Horence and the witch carried on a secret affair. When Horence’s soldiers discovered the relationship, the men betrayed their commander. They burned Horence at the stake and forced the witch to watch it happen.”

Using LGBT to equal ‘magical’ (As I’ve found countless references I haven’t even put in here) D fell in love with someone magical (gay), and their relationship was forbidden and secret. Once their secret was out, the team made D pay for it and C had to watch it all go down with nothing that he could do. (Except throw all his angst into his books ;) ) (Good job Abby- you got the most obvious allegory. The one that Chris acknowledged  “For me, the magic in A Tale of Magic is an allegory for being gay.” The rest of your nonsense is silly- the secret isn’t out and nobody except Abby has ever suggested anyone is making Darren or Chris pay anything).   

“We must pity the people who close to hate, Brystal. Their lives will never be as meaningful as those of the people who choose to love.”

The pathetic souls that do nothing but hate on C C and spread hate will never have as meaningful of life as those that chose to love and support our boys. (Um...I guess you don’t believe in coincidences but you believe in Karma. That doesn’t make a lot of sense. I am 100% positive that karma will get the people who don’t support cc. Both Chris and Darren have both denied a relationship and neither has ever suggested any of it is true). 

“We all know how terrible keeping a secret can feel. Secrets are like parasites, the longer you keep them inside you, the more damage they cause.”

The longer D is force to stay closeted, the more damage it does to him.

“If we had had everything we wanted then, we might never have found what we needed now.”

This to me feels like C is actually a little bit thankful for the bumps in the road. He’s trying to look on the bright side. If things had always been easy for them, they might have taken it for granted. Everything they’ve been through has only made them stronger. If they can get through all of this shit alive, they can make it through absolutely anything. (What twisted mind writes crisscolfer so that Darren’s life is a living hell with literally nobody to trust or on his side except his one true love and his mommy and daddy but also Chris is happy to have been put through the “bumps” in the road? ) 

“She dreamed the fairy was repeatedly knocked to the ground by a ferocious monster in a fur coat and snowflake crown.”

The ferocious monster in a fur coat? Makes me think of another monster that wears a fur coat. Shade. (Chris is a vindictive dick when he writes?)

“You can stop pretending, Brystal. I know you’re aware of much more than you’re letting on.”

C knows that we know. He’s not living under a rock. (yes, this is exactly the kind of sentence anyone would add to make sure your fandom knows that you are on to them.  I agree- Chris is sending you messages of support because though all of this, he’s worried about you). 

“I don’t know about you guys, but I refuse to sit back and let a frosty old witch take Madame Weatherberry away from us.”

Frosty old witch= Obviously M (wait I thought Mia was the monster in a fur coat and crown? She can’t be all the villians) 

“Do you guys know what your love languages are? Mine is quality time. It used to be physical touch, but that wasn’t working very well, so I had to change it. People are so picky about personal space and–”

C cherishes any quality time that he gets to have with D, since it’s not always available. (I can’t.... the 5 love languages are specific and about how you communicate with other people. You don’t pick a love language based on what is going on in your life.) 

“Sometimes good people do bad things for the right reasons.”

I have this bookmarked, along with some other passages about the Snow Queen / Mrs. Weatherberry. I know that there’s /some/ significance around this, but I haven’t fully figured out exactly what all it symbolizes. I have a few ideas, but nothing really seems to line up completely to me. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it at some point! (The significance is that Brystal has to made a tough decision to do something that at first glance is reprehensible but is much more complicated than that. Sometimes- like in war- people do bad things for the right reason)  

I think those are the big things that I’ve bookmarked. There’s so much more I could talk about, but I’m afraid it would start to not make any sense if I just started rambling, so I decided to go off of passages from the book and my thoughts on why I think they’re significant or tie into C C.

You can feel free to just keep this for yourself, or post it at a later date, or take pieces parts to post. Whatever you want!

********************

ajw adds:  know I’ve been really bad about posting on the book. I saved this submission because I thought it was brilliant and a lot of great insights.

My opinion on the Madame W/Horence/Ice Queen? C is Madame W/Ice Queen and D is Horence. I too thought frosty old queen at first referred to m. But once the twist was revealed I’m convinced it’s c and his dual personality like the twins. He is a Gemini as he likes to remind us. It’s his struggle between being happy with the love he was blessed with and his desire to destroy for the people that have so gravely hurt them.

The quote above to think about most.

Sometimes good people do bad things for the right reasons

That’s him talking about their Pr life and I’d guess directly addressing the fraud in NOLA. He’s believed in d and he wants us to believe in him too.  (No, it is just a plot point in a story about “good and bad” written for kids) 

[benperorsolo]

I rewatched the PT last week, and although I ship Anakin and Padme, I noticed their relationship in AOTC had a lot more “real life” red flags than Rey and Kylo’s does in TLJ. The way Anakin behaves with Padme is closer to the “bad boyfriend” “creepy guy” allegories you see people associating with Kylo. And yet Anakin isn’t really the subject of that much vitriolic hate or held up as an allegory of current right-wing/MRA youth. I don’t know why, but it’s an interesting discrepancy.

Yeah, definitely. I think it comes down to two things:

1. Padme and Anakin are already in a relationship when Anakin starts really exhibiting red flag behaviors, which makes his actions against Padme (like...literally choking her, also while pregnant 🙃) actual domestic abuse*. Antis love to trot out reylo as abusive!!1 because they fight, but Ben and Rey are not in a domestic relationship. They are combatants on two sides of a war. Them fighting is no more abuse than Obi Wan fighting Maul, or Anakin and Dooku fighting. Ben didn’t wake up in the middle of the night with Rey sleeping next to him and throw her into a tree. They were literally fighting with lightsabers, fucking please. (*caveat lector that I don’t really like importing these real-world terms to deal with a story as rooted in fairy tale and myth and symbolism as Star Wars; I don’t think the takeaway of the story is supposed to be that Anakin is a creepy abuser and that his love for Padme was fake and we must cancel their relationship. It’s meant to show how far Anakin had gone that he was willing to actually lay a hand on his wife, whom he did love, but whose love had been corrupted by the DS into a sense of possession and entitlement.

2. Time. I wasn’t in the fandom during the PT, but I know people who were, and anidala shippers (mostly female fans, as with reylo shippers now) were also mocked by the general fanbase. It isn’t unique that reylo is the fandom punching bag, it’s that these woke sjw types move on quickly, and their memories are short. Things that have been smoothed over by time (or which are now accepted by dudes in the fanbase, like Vader in general) are no longer relevant targets, because their goal is social clout now. 

3. Anakin is For Boys. While it is true that a lot of the dudebro fanbase sort of disowns Anakin and sees him as a whiny nuisance you have to get through to get to Vader, Vader/Anakin as a general entity are accepted by dudes. Anakin is their avatar and the one they shamelessly use to self insert or get vicarious thrills (they won’t admit it, but they are doing this). Ben is pretty, and emotional, and not remorselessly villainous, and his fanbase is mostly a bunch of girls, so-- go figure what happens :) 

[capcarolsdanver]

wow so I just went check out the comments section of Brie's video on YouTube and.. Jesus there is so much hate? Like all the nice comment have just disappeared under all theses awful comments... I just want to cry like she doesn't deserve that bc some fake marvel fans / dudebros don't like her for misunderstanding her and I really hope that Brie is okay after seeing that...

Yeah I’m pretty mad about it to be honest. Can’t believe men were out here calling every woman a “special snowflake” but they are STILL mad at Brie for literally no reason. And they say women are too emotional? Wtf do they call their own behaviour then?

Anyways hopefully after a few videos they’ll get tired of constantly commenting and give up for the most part. At least Brie can go to sleep at night knowing she did nothing wrong and these dumbass men are literally paying her bills by watching her YouTube channel rn so 🤷‍♀️

This or That Trope Tag Game

Slow Burn or Love At First Sight

All that build up and sexual tension just makes the final kiss so much better. Period.

Fake Dating or Secret Dating 

Unpopular opinion, I’ve never been a huge fan of the fake dating trope. Having to steal kisses in dark hallways and hiding for whatever reason is so sweet.

Enemies to Lovers or Best Friends to Lovers 

There is nothing more satisfying than a character going on and on about how much they hate another character and then suddenly realize oh crap. and then come to cherish the fights. and passion, so much passion. yes.

Oh no, there’s only one bed! or Long-Distance with Correspondence

I have a ship in my last project that’s established relationship forced to go long distance after a fight and correspondence through letters. I think letter relationships are so romantic and they add such a level of bonding to relationships.

Hurt/Comfort or Amnesia 

H U R T C O M F O R T. broken pasts. post-fight care. crying in their arms. enough said.

Fantasy AU or Modern AU 

truth be told, I don’t read aus that much, but I love a good modern au.

Mutual Pining or Domestic Bliss 

I take your or and raise you mutual pining followed by domestic bliss. I have it in my books. it’s Good.

Smut or Fluff

fluff. kisses. honeymoon phases. teasing. affection. yes.

Canon Compliant With Missing Scene or Fix-it Fic

fix it fic, or as I call it, fix my broken canon heart.

Alternate Universe or Future Fic

does future mean like sci fi or just set in a future canon timeline? either way future is better.

One Shot or Multi-chapter

I literally never read multi chapter fics, only oneshots.

Kid Fic or Roadtrip 

not a fan of kid fics!

Reincarnation or Character Death 

character death? may as well be me that’s dead. reincarnation? yes??

Arranged Marriage or Accidental Marriage

have them learn to love each other when they expected never to be in love. give me slow burn. give me hesitance to kiss even though they’re literally married. give me all the pressures of arranged marriage that affect their relationship. 

High School Romance or Middle Aged Romance 

give me high school romance that continues and blossoms into middle aged romance. give me soulmates or give me death.

Time Travel or Isolated Together

oh my godddd isolation together is such a good trope. when characters have nothing but each other and their words and they learn the person’s soul inside and out.

Neighbors or Roommates 

have you read the articles about the gay dudebro roommates they’re adorable

Sci-fi AU or Magic AU

again, not a huge au fan, and I can’t say I read Hogwarts aus often, but I love me some magic!

Bodyswap or Genderbend

neither are something i’d read, but i’d prefer bodyswap.

Angst or Crack 

I love writing angst, I love reading it less. crack in fanfics or books (especially fantasy) is just so good.

Apocalyptic or Mundane 

my mind instantly went to the mortal instruments lol. not a huge dystopian fan, I prefer contemporary to that.

[boymeetsweevil]

bts as boyfriends

a/n: tbh this was basically a list of things i just had swirling around in my head and its basically a continuation of my moments w/ bts and sleepovers w/ bts

Kim Seokjin

Squishes your cheeks together in his big ol’ hands because he can and because he thinks you look cute that way

Is highkey a fan of having matching stuff, but not full-blown couple outfits

thats where he draws the line >:|

Created a separate instagram account just to document the meals you guys have together on your date nights

Dumb (but cute) snapchats of him doing that fast yelling thing he does but he just tells you how much he misses you rly aggressively

also spams you with selfies and videos from other members’ accounts

Pets names hmmm

prefers to call you Doll 

yeobo seems too serious (its what his parents call each other)

Sweetie/Honey makes him feel like an old woman

On your one year anniversary he gave you a 5000 dollar watch but presented it in a box wrapped in printer paper that had his face printed all over it that he made in Microsoft word with some of the editing crew’s help

all of his gifts get wrapped this way 

Jin Is scary serious when you take a selfie together

“Babe, this isn’t the angle--quick lets move over here so we can still catch the light” ***proceeds to sprint ahead of you to some random spot where the lighting is optimal and hurry u over like “ >:( cmon the sun is setting” ***

Is not your typical PDA type, will do weird things just to embarrass you

puts his hand in your back pocket while you’re in the starbucks line and smiles when you give him incredulous side eye

rests his phone on your head to mock you for being shorter than him

Links arms with you like old lady gal pals while you’re walking because he knows you HATE IT

fake moans when you swat his arm for being weird and embarrassing

you shushing him and ending up just glaring because he has no shame and there’s an old man glaring at u on the subway

You can bet he tests out recipes on you!

some of ur most romantic nights have been when you come over just casually but the whole house smells like food he’s been tweaking

you sit at a stool by the kitchen island and he comes by with like 8 different sauces you need to try and noodles to test for texture

He is the type of boyfriend that thinks its funny to gross you out

he eats food the fell on the floor just to piss you off

will kiss u while he’s chewing gum :(

touches u with his bare feet  :((((((

Min Yoongi

Is less bold but NEVER lacking with his affection

Likes to take walks in any weather

E.g. Loves when its rainy because then you have to huddle close because he INSIsts on sharing an umbrella

E.g. Will even walk in the winter/end of fall because he likes to share mittens and scarves - this is the closest thing to cheesy you will ever get with him

Isn’t the type to send selfies

if he does, its just of his shoes of the day with an ironic caption like “rate my fit and i’ll follow back” 

Readily accepts all of your selfies, though

Upgraded his phone 2x just so he could have the extra storage to save all your photos

a lot of them are blackmail worthy, which is the reason for saving them half the time

Yoongi Is a champ when you get drunk

will hold your hair back

lets you spit your gum out into his bare fucking hand before u hurl and will not flinch 

rejects all of your lewd propositions, but may record you and play back your whiny drunk voice the next morning to make you reconsider taking shots next time (PS u dont ever reconsider)

he likes home dates too, obvi

usually you schedule naps at his place because everything about his bedroom is better than yours

mattress is huge and the perfect firmness

sheets are higher thread-count 

can sleep with his hand up your shirt all he wants because he doesn’t have any roommates at his own place

pillows are always cool to the touch BUT

he might schedule dates at your place if he’s been away and just wants to bury himself in your smell. Speaking of...

...Yoongo is a smeller

he is always smelling you, loves how you smell

He smells your hair while zoning out waiting for his americano to come out when ur at a cafe

He’ll wrap himself around you from behind and sniff your neck idly while he plays candy crush on your belly while u try to cook dinner

Nicknames vary on his mood/your behavior

brat - for when you’re being a brat duh

kid - default, all purpose and a little mocking

your last name when he’s feeling rowdy

your first name when he’s emotional

Jung Hoseok

Hobi always runs full force at u when he sees you even if you’ve been in each other’s faces all week

Whenever he’s bored and you’re nearby he’ll moonwalk around you

You love to watch him practice but you also hate it because if you make eye contact he’ll come over and try to pull you in to teach you

He’s tried to teach you to dance dozens of times and you never get any of his choreo

usually it ends in him maneuvering you into a slow 2 step

which then always becomes a tiny makeout session

but honestly so many other random activities you do together turn into makeout sessions because tbh hob is a bit of a greaseball

this means that half the time you’re ignoring him pawing at u and making cheesy jokes during inopportune times 

the other half of the time ur dragging him by the collar and looking for an empty room to take him into because u dig him and his cheesy horndog antics

He’s also lowkey highkey a dudebro

crowds you because he wants to chest bump and ur like “-.- again?”

kept trying to get your secret couple greeting to be that little surfer hand thingie he does with tae sometimes and u said no because neither of u are 8 anymore

likes spontaneous dates, so usually you’ll text him wyd and if he’s free he’ll just answer ‘coming to get u now’ and then you sigh and slip on your shoes and wonder when you’ll be able to have a date where its not 10:30 at night and you’re not wearing sweats and ur not going out just to go eat some chicken by the Han

You utilize all your privileges that you have dating him to visit Mickey

any time there is a break in the guys’ scheduling you say you want to visit mickey

He lowkey hates those days because you just lie on the floor next to mickey and eat the snacks his mom puts out and COMPLETELY ignore him

u and his sister take turns petting mickey and telling embarrassing stories about hob while he sulks in the corner

he gets revenge by taking 20 pics of ur back and doodling horns on ur head and spamming u with them

Probably would call you a bunch of weird things as a pet name

ducky, peaches, cutie, hotpot, captain etc.

sometimes calls you sweet thang but only when its after dark and he’s trying to make moves

Hobi is the type to always want idle touch but its not exclusively sexy u kno?

if you’re watching tv together he’ll have an arm slung over you

if you’re out to dinner, he gravitates towards booths so he can press his shoulder against yours

if you’re chilling in bed you HAVE to be rubbing his arm or else he’ll give you the most ridiculous pout [its so cute tho :’C ]

Thinks you’re the funniest person alive, is always laughing at stuff you said whether if was supposed to be a joke or not

which means he does that deep hiccuping giggle all the time and you just :’))))))

He’s so patient and let’s you test out all your new skin care products on him because he likes having your hands on his face and the way you talk softly half to him, half to yourself while you talk about what you’re doing

maybe its ASMR lmao

Kim Namjoon

The first thought you had after you started dating was that you could touch his dimples any time you wanted

so naturally you do

he has long since gotten used to you just touching them while he’s driving, reading, listening to music, just existing

the first time you did it he was just talking to you about something and when he felt your finger nudge his dimple 

Joon: “I feel like if we visited in the spring we could go frog catching and maybe then we could-----*you jam your finger into his dimple*

You: and? what were you saying?

Joon: uhhhh I forgot :0

a fan of couple outfits but not in the same sense Jin. its more like he likes to plan your outfits

he gets really excited when he thinks of something you would look good in and always gets really bashful right before he shows it to you because he wants you to like it

he has great taste and is very observant of u and ur style so there has never been a time where he has planned an outfit for u and u looked less than amazing

same for photos, he takes really good artsy photos of you all the time

thats what 80% of dates with him are

walking through the city at night so he can take a picture of you with the city scape behind you

or going to those instagram-able cafes in the city during their slow hours so he can pictures of your coffees and you sitting next to a pastel neon sign that says like Love Hurts or something edgy like that

taking photos like that one girl and her bf who travel alot on ig, u know the one

but u never actually manage to get a good shot like that because ur always like ‘joon my arm hurts why dont u be the girl’

He’s in general big on googling popular activities and getaways and making a big deal of documenting it 

as a result: he’s been working on a scrapbook and he thinks you don’t know but you and all 6 other members and even Bang PD know about the scrapbook

he gives it to you on your anniversary and even though youre expecting it, you cry

he takes photos of that too and it goes in the one for next yr lol

He calls you baby of course

but not in an exaggerated/pronounced way

it comes out super naturally and he says it more than he says your actual name

u better Get used to just turning around and catching him giving you that one soft smile he does with his whole face 

“is there something on my face?” 

“no, just enjoying the view <3”

Always wants to make your plate when u visit his home, and always ALWAYS gives you too much food

going there and realizing that maybe its a family thing as you watch his mom heftily scoop vegetables onto his dad’s plate while his dad looks on in worry about where he’s going to fit it

Using Joon’s lap as a pillow!!!

he can read and stroke your head while you snooze

him humming off key because he thinks it helps you sleep

Park Jimin

Before you started dating, Jimin seemed like the guy that everyone loves because he’s effortlessly cool and charming

And he is even after you start dating BUT

He is also a little praise monster and lives for your compliments

Jimin takes advantage of the fact that you are obviously enamored with him and will do things to fluster you on purpose

runs his hands through his hair because he knows you can’t look away

gets unnecessarily close to tell you things because he knows you get goosebumps when he whispers in your ear

plays chicken with you all the time

slow looks at u until u squirm

HE’s a menace

but also reminds you of a bumblebee

Jimin loves to go to see the latest comedy movies and those are always fun

Not because the movies are actually that funny (lowkey he has really bad taste in comedy movies), but because he will LOSE IT in the middle of the theatre and end up slumped over the armrest just laughing his head off

Cue the high squeaky laugh where he can’t even see the movie screen anymore because his eyes are squeezed shut :3

After the movie he always tries to retell funny scenes like

“And then *laughs* did you see the part where the guy *laughs* *laughs more* and then he *dolphin noises*

“Yeah, Minnie it was funny”

He always wants you to come to the gym with him because he gets an unnecessary amount of motivation from those gym couple accounts on instagram

You go in your big t-shirt and shorts and he goes in a similar outfit 

It always ends up with u watching him because again he looks good when he lifts weights and does squats

he likes the attention too 

Calls u cutie

but thinks its funny to sometimes address u as his favorite anime villian’s name ur always like hmm time to go now

He’s a feeder kinda like joon

YOu can’t ever eat anything by yourself, he always wants to cut things for you, spoon feed you 

he’s very caring

This means he also is super attentive when ur sick and will bring u soup and play cards in bed and always refresh ur water and bother u about taking medicine

Kim Taehyung

Everything with Taehyung is beautiful and u feel beautiful with him which is so amazing and crazy at the same time

He is a big cheerleader for u he loves everything u do

You made a badly folded origami and he shouted cute and was so genuine and got it laminated somehow and keeps it as a keychain accessory

He’s always showing you things

like some of his favorite classical art pieces that he’s saved pictures of on his phone

sometimes he tells you about how he can’t wait to plan the perfect trip to europe with u so u can visit some of his favorite pieces face to face

Always showing u his new (and old) favorite songs and movies

some of ur dates are going to see old films or foreign films at this one really hip theatre in the city

he bought a gramophone a little while back before u started dating and he loves to play records for you and lie with you on the floor and show u  the best parts of the song with his hands in the air

He has a fancy camera too that he uses to document “special moments”

when u asked him how come he always uses it to take picture of u then he was like everything with u is special and u had to tackle him and cover his whole face in kisses because he cant just say things like that without facing the consequences

He keeps a journal where he doodles in the margins and writes songs and poems that only some people have seen like yoongi or jimin

he tried to draw you once and it came out looking a little strange but he’s still learning and u love him for it

He also gets soo sooo excited when you show him your favorite things

u dont do it as much because they dont seem as cultured or pretty but u show him a movie from ur childhood that u still watch once or twice a year and his eyes were huge the whole time and he was so glad to watch it with you

Calls u Jagi because he likes what it means and its truly accurate

U guys are just on the same wavelength and he really appreciates that u dont find him weird or quirky or overly pretentious even

u finish each others sentences and can predict moods pretty well its a little scary for the guys to watch u talk to each other in half sentences and know what the other means

When u first met, it was through Joon because he thought u guys would click and he was super nervous and worried because a lot of ppl don’t really GET him

Maybe at ur blind date a song came on in the restuarant u were in and it was a song he really liked

and then u were really shyly like “it feels like when you find a really special spot in the woods that nobody knows about” and hes like

“yeah, it really does” and then goes home and writes ur name 20 times in his notebook before getting the courage to call u about a 2nd date

Jeon Jungkook

You already know what it is with this kid: MEME CENTRAL

seriously ur texts are like 80% reaction pictures you downloaded off the internet that just get cycled over and over again because they’ve started to replace certain common phrases and emotions

Yoongi tried to jack JKs phone once and read the messages out loud to the members to try and embarrass him and he actually couldn’t read the last 24 hours of messages because it was literally all pictures/emojis

JK thinks ur laugh is the best sound he’s ever heard and is always trying to bring it out

he makes so many weird faces

those also become memes in the chat

he does so many exaggerated moves from choreo just to get u to crack up

does random weird things with his voice at inappropriate times to get u to choke

Like Jimin he is a praise monster

he wants u to think he’s impressive because he thinks ur very accomplished and cool and he’s still very much the young shy boy he was before joining the band.

Does flips because he knows u love it and won’t leave u alone until u confirm that u are in fact watching

JK: “Hey, hey, watch this LOOK are u looking?”

YOU: “Yes oh my god what?”

JK:*Does a backflip*

YOU:.........DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDEEE WTF ITS LIT IN HERE

JK: *internally* i can die now

Get ready for some next level cuteness OMG

the little nose scrunch will become the most frequent thing

u will be ruffling his hair and it’ll tickle so he’ll scrunch his nose and u’ll just explode its amazing

The BABY SMILE every time its been a while since you’ve seen each other

You’ll practically tackle him and he loves it and spins u around a little too fast

Those big sparkly eyes that he has?????

prepare for those when its his night to cook but he doesn’t feel like it and says he wants to order pizza for the billionth time

You can’t say no to him ever

gaming is not your thing but he will rope you into a 3 hour Fortnight tutorial because u love him

Not really big on pet names, or like any names for that matter

but he will use your actual name for when he wants ur undivided attention

Is scared that you think he’s immature so sometimes he’ll try to go a day without making a joke and then its ur job to try your hardest to crack him up

this is good because ultimately u also love his high pitched loud laugh 

[spacefunclubs]

Bitch opinion, but I ABSOLUTELY HATE on how Pickle Rick has p much become the face of Rick and Morty. Like yeah, it was a pretty decent episode, but now everytime I go to Hot Topic or any other pop culture store (Spencer's, FYE, Midtown Comics, etc..), I can't get past ONE FUCKING PIECE OF R&M MERCH with Pickle Rick's face plastered all over it. There's T-shirts (I saw at least two dads this week wearing Pickle Rick T-shirts in Manhattan), hats, plushies, umbrellas, notebooks, JUST ANYTHING (surprisedtheyhaven'tmanagedtomakeapicklerickdildoyetlmao). Hell, EVEN the season 3 DVD cover has Pickle Rick's face fucking plastered all over it, when they COULD'VE EASILY HAD that really cool promotional art from season 3 as its cover, but I guess the normie/intellectual dudebro fans won't fucking buy unless it has Pickle Rick on it, amirite?

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that ever since Rick and Morty EXPLODED in popularity since last year, now the majority of the fans (and non-fans, specifically) just think of Pickle Rick everytime they think of the show, and it just makes me and outsiders cringe when thinking about it. Not to mention it can bring back awful memories of the Szechaun Sauce drama and cringey (plus fake) fans screaming "REEEE PICKLE RIICCKK!!" at those poor low-wage workers at McDonald's. It just pisses me off that Pickle Rick is just now seen as cringe and is all over the place with the merch, when there's A LOT BETTER AND UNDERRATED aspects of R&M that deserve more attention to the public eye instead of.. this.

I don't know, maybe this is just me being SO BURNT OUT over Rick and Morty (andalsomejumpingshiptowardsDucktales), but just seeing his stupid face all over the place (especially today when I went to browse around Hot Topic) just makes me frustrated, and kinda makes me miss when Rick and Morty was just a small cult show with a moderate number of cool fans back 2-3 years ago and wasn't full of cringe. But whatever though, right?

K, thank you for coming to my TED Talk, have a good night.
