MY ANONS

🌸 : anon

STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION ... MORE MOOTS TO COME + PRAISE FOR BEING A DARLING

[drinkyourvillainjuice]

I promised myself I would stop writing my rants so aggressively but for real....

Wtf dude! This IF is making me have violent tendencies. I want to stab catalyst (think thats his name that pos) in the face multiple times! Just stabby stabby stab!!!!!! 🙄

Okay proceeding with rant normally:

I don't know if you truly know how insane your writing is? Like do you?

I loved the update. It took me on a Rollercoaster honestly. My poor baby MC. Losing so much, going through so much, still enduring so much. It's kinda heartbreaking.. and fills me with rage at the same time.

Because the whole illusion of freedom is even worse. And I love that it's constantly brought up in dialog. How getting close to anyone is dangerous, scary and yet still makes us hopeful In enjoying a bloody conversation. Like humans do. But MC doesn't feel really human anymore or like they are anything like their former self. Or like they have any autonomy at all.

The melancholy really is so real for me in this IF. Themes of loss and love are so real and just how dealing with pain in different ways can make you a different person. For me my MCs personality presently is wholly different from what he was like in the flashbacks.

While your writing can be humorous at times lol it really is it's also triggering af but not in a bad way. It made me really think about MCs Character how something so horrible can happen and how it could lead to even worse consequences from just a simply trip they took with friends to essentially just make a goddamn vlog. That's so wild!

I like seeing the different aspects of the ROs. And Mal is a whole menace if you are a shy MC. That whole t-shirt interaction made me both giggle like a little girl and want to throw something at them. And again the parallels of new vs old. Mal very much reminded me of Grant and that just adds another layer of sad to my poor MC because he dated Grant.

I'm sorry this is so long but jesus christ. YOU CAN WRITE! I even wanted to cry at some point. I'm so fully inlove with this IF at this point I'm beyond help. 😭♥️

*loud gamer noise* *even louder gamer noises* *car hitting the curb noises* hellooooooo gamer number 6 that is asking this question during the most wonderful capitalist time of the year, the Superb Owl!

"You are welcome to rant as much as you like :) I'm glad/sorry to hear of the tribulations you went through reading it! I sort of knew that CH4 was gonna start swinging big in the trauma department and I enjoyed writing while playing into the MC grappling with the pall their past is casting over their present. Mal's horrible, I love them."

*fanfare music* *dorito commercial* *car explosions* i sure hope you had a beautiful time during the advertisement of the Superb Owl!

This is my first ever matchup so I'm really excited for it! Thank you so much for this and all of your amazing content. ❤

I'm a fairly stereotypical INFP -- someone who at first seems pretty aloof or visibly uncomfortable being around someone new. Once I'm comfortable enough with them I turn into a loyal friend who will happily lend an ear and my support/advice whenever possible. I'm very inquisitive when it comes to those types of things and getting to know my loved ones better. I'll regularly remind people that I care about them and check in on how they're feeling before going off and doing my own thing. I'm extremely introverted and shy but I usually take a leader position in groups if there isn't one already.

Not sure if it's a pro or con but I tend to see the best in the people I like and that's especially true with crushes and partners. I'm a hopeless romantic so having a healthy relationship is really important to me. I need a fair amount of one on one time, even if we're just doing our own thing in the same room. I'm also a cuddle sl*t so I will be very physically affectionate with my partner whenever and wherever unless they request otherwise.

One of my major flaws is how incredibly lazy I can be. I could very easily laze around in bed all day watching anime or YouTube and be totally content with that. I'm Really bad at dealing with confrontation, especially if the other person is being aggressive in any way. I have a habit of maladaptive daydreaming so I space out a lot and my depression and abandonment issues mess with me pretty bad sometimes. I've been doing really good at getting those all handled but some days can be a real struggle for me.

Besides cheating, the biggest dealbreaker for me is gaslighting. I've already dealt with enough of that for one lifetime. People who are overly entitled and inconsiderate of others, especially service workers, are forever going to get the side eye from me. Other than those, I don't think I'll ever want to have a kid of my own so I wouldn't date someone who did.

My pet peeves are when people "tink its ok 2 spel n tipe words like dis." Also spitting on the ground and chewing food with your mouth open.

As I said before, I like watching anime and YouTube. Usually it's some kind of dark/creepy content, let's plays, chaotic let's builds or food stuff. Also listen to a lot of indie rock and tend to drink a worrying amount of coffee. Oh, I play D&D, online games and board games with my friends. By myself, I'll play point and click puzzle games. When I decide I want to actually go outside for once I'll go on a hike or go to thrift shops and see if I can snag some sweet threads. 

Physically, I'm a 5'4" thicc lady with big bazoongas. I wear mostly skinny jeans with either tank tops or tshirts and flannel or leather jackets when it's cold enough. Black, grey, white and muted red, blue and green are my go to colors. I have 11 silver mostly ear piercings, stretched lobes and a few tattoos. I always wear glasses and have my hair in a messy low bun.

That's it! Thank you again and have a wonderful day!!

Dang. The no kids totally knocked honey out of the competition 😭😭😭

Alrighty, after a lot of back and fourth, I was stuck between three guys. Once again I had the little sister pick a random name.

Looks like you’re getting matched with…… CASH (swapfell papyrus)!

Honestly one of the biggest reasons I think he’ll make a good match is how you said you put in effort into getting to know your SO. And how you’re very verbally affectionate. Cash needs these in a relationship. He’s an affectionate boyfriend but isn’t good at voicing his worries about how he thinks he’s not doing enough sometimes. This would be a big comfort that you’re honest about how you feel.

One way I can see cash appealing to you is that he’s good at sticking up for the “little guy” or just workers in general. Cash and mal come from a very poor background. He knows exactly how hard it is to make ends meet, or how to deal with nasty customers. Now that he can, cash always tips well and loves scaring the occasional Karen.

I’m sorry to say, but if you’re going to constantly cuddle him, he’s gonna take advantage of it all the time. Hands up your shirt every time. Half the time he’s not even being a horn dog, he just likes how squishy humans are lol

Thrift shopping with him is always an adventure. Cash loves shopping when it’s not with his brother and spends more time finding the ugliest outfits possible and trying to get you to wear them. It always ends up in you two putting on a fashion show that would give a designer a heart attack

He’s one of the gamer guys so he’s always cool to play with you. He likes fighting games and puzzle games the most!

The other two you could’ve gotten were slim and charm

♠♠♠♠♠

When I decided that I want to move to Spain I don't know what was on my mind. It was a radical decision and now I'm in new apartment who has a beautiful view of Madrid's streets. I like to seat here, drink a cup of coffee, read a book or just admire the breathtaking view.

  I admit that this city is so mesmerizing and full of life, but I'm alone, I live my family in Italy and come here to find something. I leaved everything, my home, my family and my job at the gallery to find something now, an adventure. I'm looking for inspiration for my paintings and I think here I can find it. Today I want to spend my time on streets with my camera and take pictures of people, animals or whatever I consider that deserve to be painted. I dressed with a colorful dress and some sandals. I pinned my hair in a pony tail and I take anything I need for this walk. I locked my apartment and I start going down the stairs. When I went outside the bright sun blinded me for a few seconds so I put some sunglasses and start walking to nowhere. Today is a great day to get some inspiration and the locals are already on streets and at the local markets. I photographed some kids eating ice cream, an old couple reading a newspaper on a bench and a lady at the flower shop. Walking down to the historical center I seen three guys at a table and they were drinking a coffee. I wanted to photograph this state but the sunlight blocked my view.  They look so handsome and very masculine. I took courage and come closer to them table.

A blonde guy, a boy with black hair and another one with brown curly hair are looking curiously at me when I got in front of them.

"Hi, I'm (Y/N) and I'm a professional photographer and also a painter. May I take some photos of you?" “I promise it will be quick” They are looking at me like I am a crazy lady. Maybe I’m but that’s another story.

They smiled at me and starting to talk to each other in Spanish. I didn't understand a word and now I realize that maybe they didn't understand me in the first place.

“First, I’m Miguel” the blonde one present himself. “He is Itzan and he is Arón” Miguel pointed first the black hair guy who smiled at me, then the curly boy who looks so good.

"Nice to meet you." I smiled. "Can I start?"

They approve and I ask them if they can be natural like I was not there. The boys are really born to be models because the final result was amazing. After I finished i give them my contact data if they want the photos. Miguel and Itzan were very excited and I talked with they a little. They explained me that they are actors and it is very regular for them to be photographed.   That beautiful guy, Arón, didn't talk at all and he was already gone after a we finished. I was happy that I met these nice guys and I ensured them that if they need something, they can call me. 

When I have arrived home, it was already dark outside. I made a bowl of instant noodles and I stayed on my balcony, watching the light and enjoying my diner.  I googled for the three boys I met today and I’m surprised and shock because they are famous. All of them are acting in this series called “ ÉLITE”. I start watching the first episode when load voices and extremely load music are coming from my neighbor above me. It’s half past the midnight so it’s late for a party, especially in the middle of the week. I put a hoodie on my summary pajamas and I walked up the stairs to my neighbor’s door. I hit hard the black door and after a few minutes a tall boy with curly black hair was sitting in front of me with a beer in his hand, smirking at me.

“Can I help you, princesa?” I don’t say anything because I didn’t understand what he’s saying.

“You are shy? Come in, the party is already started” He speaks in English this time and he drags me inside. “I’m Jorge by the way”

“I’m your neighbor, (Y/N)” I finally speak and we enter in a room full of people who are dancing and drinking. “Sweetheart, I don’t live here, I’m just a guest” he explains and I want to leave, I’m not welcome here and I don’t know who own this apartment.

“Hey, Jorge, who is she” a familiar voice is heard from behind I turn around. Miguel is sitting in front of me with people I don’t know, but I recognize some faces from the “ÉLITE” first episode. Miguel looks surprised to see me there. “(Y/N)? What are you doing here?” He is happy to see me and I’m also happy to see him. He hugged me and present me to the group. “But seriously, what are you doing here?” “I live in the apartment below.” “I didn’t know you are living here, Miguel, I apologize for the inconvenience” He looks confused for a second. “I’m not living here, Arón is” he explained. “Stay, we are gonna have so much fun.” I looked down to myself and I've seen a very messy outfit which is not appropriate for this kind of party.

“Hey, is that the girl from the coffee shop?” “¡Ai, que hermosa!” Arón screams from the terrace and he’s walking like a zombie to us.

“I apologize for him, he was drinking too much, you know, he got his heart broke.” Miguel support Aron and the curly head boy is sending me kisses. “Maybe I should go home, is pretty late.” “Nice too meet you guys.” I greeted the group of people and I go home.  

All night I couldn't sleep, I only see Arón face in my mind and I can´t stop thinking of him. His beautiful eyes and his smile are so stunning. I don't know him at all but he seems a nice person and I would like to know him. But he is a star and I'm just an ordinary girl. I started my day terribly, I'm tired and I don't feel like getting out of bed too soon. Yesterday I received an email about a job at a fashion magazine and today I’ve to be there at 12 p.m. At half past 11 I was sitting in front of elevator. When I entered Arón was inside looking in his pone. First he didn’t notice me so I decide to greet him.

“Hey.” my voice sound like a strangled cat. “Oh, hey there, (Y/N) right?” I approve and I’m looking in other direction.  He intimidates me with his presence. “I’m sorry for last night, I wasn’t myself.” “It’s alright, I’m used with parties and load people” I said and we get out of elevator. “Where are you going now?” “I'm going to an interview for a job at Cosmopolitan Spain and I am pretty late.”

“Let me drop you, it’s on my way.” I accepted because I was late. In the car he asks me so much questions and we figured out that we have many things in common. “Come with me at a barbeque this weekend, it will be fun and I gonna present you to my friends” He said when he dropped me at the Cosmopolitan offices. “Sure, why not.” I blushed when he winked and smirked at me. "See ya, hermosa." "And good luck."

After two hours I was already home. I slept all day and I woke up when my phone started ringing.

“(Y/N) (Y/L/N)?” “I’m calling you from Cosmopolitan offices, congratulations, you got the job, you can start on Monday.”

I was excited when I heard the news. I can’t believe I got the job. I spend the rest of the night dancing and watching my new favorite show.

  After 3 weeks

  I open the door to let my best friend to come in. Arón puts the chips and the beers on the coffee table and sits comfortable on the couch. It's Friday so it's the "Euphoria night". We started together this series and he loves it. I don't like it that much but I adore to spend time with him. Arón it was a good friend for me from the beginning. He is teaching me Spanish and I made a lot of friends here thanks to him. We start know each other very well, but he doesn't know that I like him so bad. We flirt a lot but it’s more like a joke.

“I don’t like that guy, Nate” I commented and he laughed. “It’s a bad guy, (Y/N), you don’t like bad guys?” He smirks at me and I rolled my eyes. “I like you” He takes it like a joke and start laughing. “Pero soy un mal cabrón” he looks at me inappropriately and he smiles suggestively. I love when he is talking in Spanish. “You are such a playboy.” “Of course, that’s my middle name” He shows me his middle finger and I hit him softly in his left arm.

After a few hours we are sitting on my balcony admiring the sunset. I start to love Spain so much and I love the boy next to me who is smoking the fourth cigarette in the past 30 minutes.  He observes that I stare at him and he smiles. “I know I’m beautiful, stop looking at me like that.” “Sorry.”

 “But I don’t outdo you” he takes me in his arms and start singing his lyrics from ‘Vicio’. “What are you doing?” I laugh and he giggles. “I’m singing for my future girlfriend” He answers and I blush. My heart stops beating for a couple of seconds. “What?” I mumbling. He stopped and raised my face. “You are the most beautiful person I ever seen, you are kind and you are so talented” “And I like you like a crazy man” I can’t stop smiling after his declaration. “Do you want to be my crazy woman?” “Of course, mi amor” I answer and we kiss softly.

OKAY, SO-

I'm going to elaborate on this hot take partly because I want to, and partly because I was graciously enabled by some lovely followers.

But I'm hiding it under a cut because I'm ridiculous and may actually write an essay about a show from 35 years ago that I think too deeply about. Really though, I know it's just a show, but this type of stuff is so much fun for me.

EDIT: I wrote an essay.

THE GOOD

Let me start off by saying that I really like Steven and Elyse Keaton. They have many qualities that make them two of my favorite tv parents.

They're loving and very open about expressing that love. They're involved and emotionally present. They foster an environment where their children feel safe and are free to explore/form their own beliefs. This is particularly true when it comes to Alex, the Keaton family anomaly.

Like his siblings, Alex has grown up with the security of knowing he's unconditionally loved. And despite him and his parents disagreeing on many things, they respect his opinions and, at his core, Alex respects theirs (a sentiment he expresses to his father in "My Back Pages" & many other points throughout the series). It's all very nice and heartwarming, etc. BUT

THE BAD

Steven and Elyse are not perfect, obviously. They make their fair share of mistakes, like any other parents. HOWEVER...some noticeable habits that they both share in their interactions with their kids may very well have laid the groundwork for their oldest child's tendency to be I N S U F F E R A B L E.

THE ALEX

Alex P. Keaton is a lot of things. He's driven. Highly intelligent. Instead of blood, his veins are filled with orange juice. He's protective of those he cares about.

Alex is also an egomaniac. He's pompous, often unsympathetic towards others, and rude. It's Alex's world, and everyone else is just living in it.

Wherever he goes, Alex considers himself the smartest guy in the room, and he thrives off of letting people know that. No, not just friends or acquaintances or random strangers. He's perfectly comfortable putting his siblings and own parents in their place as well. Why?

Because. He's. Allowed. To.

ENABLERS AND EVIDENCE

Alex's primary target and most frequent recipient of his snark is, obviously, Mallory. He loves her, yeah. But he is outright mean to her a majority of the time. He makes fun of her friends. He makes fun of her choice of college. He makes fun of her dreams, her ideas and opinions, and is not shy about putting down her intelligence. He snickers, makes jabs, and takes every opportunity he can get to remind her that she is stupid. (She isn't, of course.) And a lot, A LOT, of these instances take place in the same room their parents are in. So, what do Steven and Elyse do the vast majority of the time that they are witness to this, quite frankly, abusive behavior from their eldest child?

n o t h i n g 🙃

Seriously. There are countless moments where the family is together, enjoying a pleasant, normal conversation when BAM! Alex P. Keaton throws open the door, bringing all his Alex-ness with him.

Alex: Hello, everyone! Time to be terrible. Hey, Mal, the idiot store called...they ran out of you. Did you go to your silly, fake college today? Have I mentioned lately how much smarter I am than you? Everything you care about is meaningless and dumb. Let me take a few well-timed sips of orange juice while you speak so that I can think of more insults to throw at you. Oh, hey mom. Hey, dad. I know you are sitting literally right there listening to all of this, but I am immune to consequences, lol. You are both dumb too.

Honestly, this is only slightly off from what actually happens a lot of the time. Alex will insult and degrade Mallory, Jennifer, or his parents, and Steven and Elyse won't even react. And not in a "we're too scared of our kid to discipline him" way, but more of an "Oh, that Alex. What a character," kind of way. Some things to consider...

Sometimes Steven and Elyse will (very mildly) call Alex out on his nonsense, if you can even call it that. Most of the time, they say nothing at all, acting like they didn't even hear what he's said. Occasionally there will be something to the effect of, "That's enough, be nice." In one moment, after a rapid-fire round of bullying Mallory, the extent of his parents' reactions was literally, "Alex, cut it out."

There is a scene, I can't remember which one, where Alex is being awful to Mallory in full view of Steven and Elyse. Mallory gets so fed up with him that she just storms out of the room. Z e r o consequences for APK.

Insulting and talking down to his own mother and father?? Z e r o consequences. Sometimes a sigh or eye roll from Steven and Elyse.

In "Mr. Wrong", when Mallory is ranting about her parents not wanting her to see Nick, she points out that they would never treat Alex the way they're treating her. Steven admits that Alex is treated differently because he's a boy. (As much as Steven and Elyse would like to believe that they are not biased in this way, they definitely are)

In another episode whose name escapes me, Mallory points out to her family that people seem to be fine with picking on her, but that nobody picks on Alex.

In a scene with Elyse and baby Andy, she's talking to him and telling him over and over again how good and smart and wonderful he is. Mallory tells her to stop because she's, "creating another Alex." It's not far-fetched at all to believe that Alex was being showered with this kind of praise since birth.

Alex is 100% a momma's boy. He and Elyse may disagree and fight at times ("Birthday Boy", anyone?), but she absolutely loves to coddle him. Steven does too! Both have a tendency to put Alex up on a pedestal.

Alex: *talks down to, insults, & emotionally manipulates his family?* Steven & Elyse: *shrug* Alex: *feels just a little bit sad?* *someone was mean to him?* *is stressed out?* Steven & Elyse: *hug, hug, hug* "Our poor boy. Honey. Sweetheart. Darling." *huggg*

ALEX NEEDS A TIME OUT

While Alex definitely has to come face to face with his decisions at times and learn valuable lessons, he is without a doubt given permission to treat those around him with that smug, stuck-up attitude of his. Yes, Alex is responsible for his actions and words, but Steven and Elyse are responsible for allowing him to get away with doing and saying what he does. Somewhere along the line, Alex realized that he could put down his sister and not be punished. He realized he could be rude to his parents. And after years of this being the case, things sort of become set in stone. You're left with a snarky kid in a sweater-vest, practically running the entire household because that's what he's been allowed to do.

And, I mean, if the Keatons really wanted to, they could still make attempts to remedy the situation. Ground him. A firm lecture, at least. Take away his bank privileges. Make him drink only apple juice. They could do something. Because the Keatons are good parents. It's just that Alex has them wrapped around his finger, something they might not even be fully aware of. So they sit back. And they say nothing. And they slowly add fuel to the fire until eventually they end up with a kid who says things like,

In conclusion, I love Steven and Elyse but they would let Alex get away with murder. Steven would chuckle and say, "These things happen, Alex," and Elyse would grab a blanket and snuggle up next to him on the couch and read him a bedtime story probably while Mallory was on the phone in the kitchen calling the cops to turn him in.

My Family Ties discord fam has already been subjected to a (very) long rambling on this matter, but I'm going to say it here too...

Steven and Elyse, while loving parents, are significantly responsible for Alex being The Way He Is. In this essay I will
