it was no one's fault. sometimes friendships just fade with time. sometimes people grow apart. sometimes things happen in their lives that force them apart. but she never stopped missing him. seeing his face on magazines and tv screens were always a painful a reminder of the boy who had slipped through her fingers. and he never stopped thinking of her, despite his best attempts to leave her behind. because there was nothing he could do now, right? he never expected to see her again. especially not in the most unlikely of settings.

"...can we go back to what we were before?"

"...can we be more?"

i made one of these for my rinniki headcanons and thoughts.....!! ill explain the songs and thoughts in depth etc too under the cut ✌️

FIRST the songs:

Gloria: In Excelsis Deo by Patti Smith is sooo Rinne to me, from the

to the

overall the themes of obsession and devotion to that one person above all else... gloria as a prayer also a little mirroring rinne refering to niki as nike as in the fortune goddess. big fan of patti smith. big fan of rinne. NEXT

Tongs by The Frights is a fun Niki POV song!! i personally like the punk-ier version "Tongues" more altho i think the beach vibe of "Tongs" suits niki better). this is song is sooo asaslkdhaskl there's a certain uncertainty to the narrator about what him and the subject are exactly, but he'd walk to the end of the world for them... narrator is also the perfect amount of a complainer.

lastly Add It Up by Violent Femmes, which to me is a song about a growing frustration and the angst of like, wanting, craving, but not getting. don't take this one too seriously though i just like 80s punk LOL but some parts rly fit the bill in my eyes...

i think rinniki if they got together would often be on the brink of breakup in the eyes of the world although they're usually actually fine between themselves, kind of like in canon when rinne in one story complained abt how niki broke up with him etc. i enjoy the idea of gossip mags reporting on them too and rinne keeping up with it; considering how he keeps an eye on in-universe social media to see what fans r saying...

hmm that's abt it... i like them....... im open to like most hcs tho. im not picky. imo they're well written characters in canon so theres a bazillion ways you can appreciate them which is cool.

THANSK FOR READING sorry if anything looks wonky or the colors are REALLY off im currently running on just one poorly-sighted eye:

wearing an eyepatch looks cool but it actually sucks when you have to go to a mall to pick up your eye medication and everyone thinks youre a chuunibyou

WORD COUNT: 2.4k

THIRD PERSON +

The dim light of the bedside lamp bathed the room in a soft glow. Y/N sat cross-legged on the bed, her laptop resting in front of her, illuminating her face in harsh contrast. Her throat felt tight as her eyes scanned the comments section on yet another gossip website.

"Why is he with her?"

"She's way out of his league."

"Drew could do so much better. She's not even that pretty."

"She doesn’t look right next to Drew AT ALL."

The words blurred as tears pooled in her eyes, one spilling over and sliding down her cheek. She sniffled, trying to hold it together, but it was a losing battle. Her hands trembled as she closed the laptop and set it aside, curling up into herself. The voices in her head, fueled by the hateful comments, were deafening.

She knew Drew loved her. He told her all the time, in the little ways and the big ones. But sometimes, the weight of the world's opinions was too much to bear. Tonight was one of those nights.

She was so caught up in her spiraling thoughts that she didn't hear the front door open or the sound of Drew's voice calling out.

"Babe? I'm home!" he said, his voice warm and familiar as it carried through the apartment.

Her stomach dropped. She quickly wiped at her cheeks, trying to compose herself. The last thing she wanted was for him to see her like this.

Drew stepped into the bedroom, his tall frame filling the doorway. He smiled softly, holding up a bag. "I brought takeout from your favorite place. I figured—" He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed her blotchy, tear-stained face and glossy eyes. His brow furrowed with concern as he dropped the bag on the dresser and closed the distance between them in two long strides.

"Angel, what's wrong?" he asked, sitting on the edge of the bed and cupping her face in his hands. His thumbs gently wiped away the tears that continued to fall despite her efforts to stop them. "Talk to me, baby."

She shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's nothing, Drew. I'm fine."

He frowned, not buying it for a second. "That's not nothing. Come on, tell me what's going on."

Her chest tightened as she met his worried gaze. She debated brushing it off, but the dam broke, and the words tumbled out before she could stop them. "It's just... all the comments, Drew. All the things people say about me. About us. They hate me because I'm not what they think you deserve."

Drew's eyes softened, and he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. She buried her face in his chest, her tears soaking into his shirt.

"They're so cruel," she continued, her voice muffled against him. "And the worst part is... I start to believe them. Maybe they're right. Maybe I'm not good enough for you."

Drew pulled back slightly, just enough to tilt her chin up so she was looking at him. His cobalt eyes were intense, his expression a mix of heartbreak and determination.

"Stop," he said firmly, his voice low and steady. "Don't you dare let those people make you feel like you're not good enough. They don't know you. They don't know us."

She shook her head, the tears still falling. "But Drew, look at me. I'm not some slim, perfect model. I don't fit the image of the kind of woman people expect you to be with."

Drew let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair before turning back to her. "Y/N, do you know what I see when I look at you?"

She stayed silent, unsure how to respond.

"I see the woman who makes me laugh harder than anyone else ever has," he said, his voice soft but unwavering. "I see the woman who listens to me when I'm struggling, who supports me no matter what. I see the woman whose smile lights up my entire day."

His hands moved to her shoulders, his thumbs brushing against her skin in soothing circles. "I don't care what anyone else thinks. I love you for you. For your kindness, your intelligence, your strength. For the way you hum when you're cooking, even though you always say you can't sing. For the way you light up when you talk about the things you're passionate about. You're the most beautiful person I've ever known, inside and out."

Her breath hitched as she listened to his words, the sincerity in his voice breaking through the walls she'd built around herself.

"You're more than enough for me, Y/N," Drew continued, his voice thick with emotion. "You're everything I've ever wanted. And if people can't see that, then screw them. They don't matter."

She let out a shaky laugh, her tears finally starting to slow. "You really mean that?"

He leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "With all my heart."

She looked up at him, her own heart swelling with love and gratitude. "I don't deserve you, you know that?"

He smirked, his hands sliding down to her waist. "I think it's the other way around."

The tension in the room shifted as his fingers traced slow, deliberate patterns on her sides. His gaze darkened slightly, a spark of something more than affection flickering in his eyes.

"I need you to understand how much you mean to me," he murmured, his voice dropping to a low, husky tone. "Let me show you."

Her breath caught as he leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a tender, lingering kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of love and devotion, of promises made and kept.

He deepened the kiss, his hands moving to cradle her face as if she were the most precious thing in the world. She melted into him, her own hands finding their way to his chest, feeling the steady thrum of his heartbeat beneath her palms.

When they finally pulled apart, both slightly breathless, Drew rested his forehead against hers.

"Do you believe me now?" he asked, a small smile playing on his lips. "Or maybe I really need to show you."

Drew's hand lingered on Y/N's cheek, his thumb gently brushing away the last of her tears. His eyes never left hers—dark, intense, full of something unspoken but heavy, like the weight of a confession he couldn't hold back any longer.

"You're so fucking beautiful," he murmured, his voice low and rough, the kind of tone that made her stomach tighten and her breath hitch. She blinked up at him, her lips parting slightly as if to argue, but he didn't let her. Instead, he leaned in, pressing his forehead against hers, his breath warm against her skin. "Don't say it. Don't say you don't see it. I'll show you."

His fingers trailed down her neck, feather-light, sending shivers rippling through her body. He shifted closer, his other hand finding her waist, pulling her into him until there was no space left between them. Her heart pounded as his gaze dropped to her lips, then lower, tracing the curve of her jaw, the dip of her collarbone, the swell of her chest. Everywhere he looked, she felt it—like fire licking at her skin.

"Drew..." Her voice trembled, barely above a whisper, but he silenced her with a kiss. Soft at first, almost questioning, as if he was giving her the chance to pull away. But when she didn't, when she kissed him back, something in him snapped. His hands moved with purpose, one cupping the back of her neck while the other slid down to grip her hip, holding her firmly against him.

He deepened the kiss, slow and deliberate, his tongue sliding against hers in a way that made her knees weak. She could feel the heat building between them, the way his body pressed into hers, hard and impatient. When he finally pulled away, she was breathless, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she tried to steady herself.

But Drew wasn't done.

His lips found her jaw next, trailing hot, open-mouthed kisses down the sensitive column of her throat. She tilted her head back instinctively, giving him more access, a soft moan escaping her when his teeth grazed her skin.

"You taste so good," he groaned against her neck, his voice thick with desire. His hands moved to the hem of her shirt, fingers curling underneath the fabric as he paused, looking up at her with those piercing eyes. "Can I? Let me see you, baby. All of you."

She nodded, her cheeks heated up but her eyes locked on his, unwavering. In one swift motion, he tugged her shirt over her head, tossing it aside before his hands came to rest on her hips again. His gaze raked over her exposed skin, taking in every curve, every inch of her with a reverence that made her feel like she was something sacred.

"Fuck," he breathed, his voice trembling. "Look at you... You're perfect." His hands slid up her sides, his touch firm yet gentle, like he was memorising her. "Every part of you... I want to worship it."

Her breath caught as he sank to his knees in front of her, his hands gripping her thighs as he pressed a kiss to her stomach. It was tender, almost reverent, but the look he gave her when he glanced up was anything but innocent. Heat burned in his eyes, dark and hungry, and it sent a thrill shooting through her.

"Drew..." His name fell from her lips like a prayer, her hands clawing at the sides of his face for anything to grip onto as he began to trail kisses lower, his lips brushing against the band of her pants. He hooked his fingers in the waistband, tugging them down slowly, his lips following the path they took until she was standing there in nothing but her bra and underwear.

His hands slid around to her ass, squeezing gently as he nuzzled against her stomach, pressing another kiss there. "So fucking gorgeous," he muttered, his breath hot against her skin. "I don't know how anyone could ever talk shit about you. You're a goddamn masterpiece."

She whimpered, her chest tightening as he continued his descent, kissing and nipping at her thighs, her hips, anywhere he could reach. His hands slid up her legs, pushing them apart as he settled between them, his face level with the apex of her thighs.

"Drew, please..." Her voice broke, her body trembling with anticipation as he looked up at her, his eyes locking onto hers. There was something raw and primal in his expression, something that made her stomach flip and her core ache with need.

"Tell me what you want," he said, his voice rough, husky, sending a jolt of electricity through her. "I'll give you anything. Everything."

She swallowed hard, her chest heaving as she struggled to form words. "I... I want you. All of you."

A slow smirk spread across his face, wicked and knowing, as he leaned in, pressing a kiss to the inside of her thigh. "Then you've got me."

His mouth found her center, hot and insistent, and her knees nearly buckled as a loud moan tore from her throat. His tongue dragged along her slit, teasing, tasting, before delving deeper, burying itself in her folds with a groan that vibrated against her sensitive flesh.

"Oh my god..." Her head tipped back, her nails scraping against his scalp as he worked her over, his tongue flicking and circling her clit with expert precision. He alternated between long, languid strokes and quick, erratic flicks, driving her closer and closer to the edge with every movement.

"Drew, I—fuck, I'm—" Her words dissolved into incoherent gasps and whimpers as the pressure built, her hips rocking against his face as he devoured her. His hands gripped her thighs, keeping her steady as his tongue worked her relentlessly, each lick and suck bringing her closer to oblivion.

And then, just as she was about to tip over, he pulled away, leaving her teetering on the edge, desperate and aching. She cried out in frustration, her hands clutching at him as he stood, towering over her with a predatory grin.

"Not yet, baby," he murmured, his voice thick with arousal. He reached behind her, unhooking her bra and letting it fall to the floor. His hands immediately cupped her breasts, his thumbs brushing over her nipples, eliciting a sharp gasp from her. "I'm not done worshiping you."

He bent his head, capturing one nipple in his mouth, sucking and biting gently as his free hand drifted lower, slipping beneath the waistband of her underwear. She moaned loudly, her hips jerking forward as his fingers teased her entrance, circling but not quite entering.

"Drew, please..." Her voice was pleading, broken, her body writhing under his touch. He chuckled darkly, releasing her breast to kiss her deeply, his tongue plunging into her mouth as his fingers finally pushed inside her, stretching her deliciously.

"You're so wet for me," he growled against her lips, his fingers pumping in and out of her at a torturously slow pace. "Is this what you want? Hmm?" He added a third finger, curling them just right, and her entire body went taut, a strangled cry escaping her.

"Yes! Oh god, yes..." Her hands clawed at his shoulders, her hips rolling against his hand as he fucked her with his fingers, each thrust sending shockwaves of pleasure through her. His thumb found her clit, rubbing tight circles that had her vision blurring, her breaths coming in short, ragged gasps.

"Come for me, baby," he commanded, his voice deep and gravelly, sending a shiver down her spine. "Let me feel you."

And just like that, she shattered, her orgasm crashing over her in waves so intense she thought she might drown. Her cries echoed through the room as he held her through it, his fingers continuing to move inside her, drawing out every last bit of pleasure until she was boneless, trembling in his arms.

When he finally pulled his fingers free, she sagged against him, her legs barely able to support her weight. He caught her easily, his strong arms wrapping around her as he pressed a tender kiss to her forehead.

"See?" he murmured, his voice soft now, filled with affection. "Perfect."

betty’s notes ౨ৎ ⋆｡˚

this was such a sweet request, and i really hope it was exactly what you wanted anon !! i’m so sorry this is so late, but i’m trying to work through all my requests and i’m almost half way there :)

as a curvy gal myself, this was just so cathartic to write and i really hope others feel the same when reading this !! you’re all so so so gorgeous in your own ways and ily all sm <333

[leftoverbriocheloaf]

AKDHSISBAJ HOW DARE YOU I’m holding by the scruff and I’m gonna fucking turn on notifs for you!! I didn’t know you were on that chb grind!! (side note have you listened to the lightning thief musical?)

Anyway please please tell me abt the camp halfwhatever wip🧡🧡

I just reblogged it but it’s rattling in my head as smth new- I’m thinking so hard abt dazai&kunikida dynamic in canon where dazai helps kunikida loosen up and kunikida helps dazai with that structure AND WITH APOLLO AND DIONYSIS WOAH

And thinking abt Akutagawa *kinda* filling that Luke role looking over the kids justttt like in the alleyways👀 that’s so messed up of you I love it

(also side side note have you heard of the au where Percy is a “child of Aphrodite” basically hes not actually but because the big three kids are always hunted he says he’s hers at the first dinner and kinda hides under her wing ITS WILD anyway thinking abt one of those minors claiming Ranpo by name just bc they like him or some bs lmao- this ask is so longgg my fuckin bad bro)

"WE'RE LOST IN THE WOODS SOMEWHERE IN NEW JERSEY AND WE'RE NEVER GONNA MAKE IT TO L.A" 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

But YES I've actually seen it live it was SOO GOOD and the soundtrack is so iconic

And yes!!! I've been obsessed with chb since like 2nd grade and it still is one of my favorite book series 😭❤️ All of the characters are so special to me but I have a special fondness for Nico as one of the first openly gay characters (eventually ykwim) I ever read about :,) it made me so happy to have a character I already loved be relatable ig???? Either way top tier series 10/10

AND YEAH I was going to maybe make a few different fics in the same universe bc I love my ranpoe ideas so far but also like you said the kunikida and dazai (platonic or romantic tbh) has so much potential I love it so much and the sskk or akuatsulucy would have so many interesting dynamics imo ajdjskakak

But for ranpoe I was thinking of having poe as one of the older camp members help out during orientation week (ango is counselor bc poe would NOT be willing to go to meetings and stuff) but he still helps out with the younger campers by giving riddles to the kids to help teach them about the camp but also to let the Athena kids know they're in a place where they can totally nerd out?? But ranpo shows up with yosano and basically calls the riddles dumb and obvious and bc calling an Athena kid an idiot is like a CRIME poe develops a huge grudge ajsjskak

But tbh I'm thinking of letting myself stray from the Canon meeting and do smth more camp rivalry,, not sure though

And the fic takes place over a couple years probably with ranpo yosano and poe being year round campers and Lucy being a summer camper,, it's also probably more domestic than adventurous like no godly wars and stuff lmao but capture the flag and camp gossip 100%

Also poe being a certified goth is one of the first ppl to treat yosano like she's any normal camper outside of her immediate family so that's how he and ranpo start to interact more often

But if you have any plot ideas I would actually LOVE to hear them bc I've only really been worldbuilding so far ajsjskakakak

And I definitely want to write a fic about dazai first arriving at camp and meeting kunikida but I'm not sure if I want to throw chuuya in the mix or not bc I think an ares Apollo dionysius dynamic would slap ajsjskak

And how does it feel to be RIGHT akutagawa is totally fulfilling that role he's filled with the same kind of anger towards Hermes for not being there when he and gin needed him that luke had but also fueled by his need for dazai's approval that he just isn't getting with hermes' god given abilities

ALSO I HAVE I LOVE THAT AU I was trying so hard to find someone to make a child of aphrodite I think she's so fun

AND YEAH some god just claims ranpo for the bit 😭😭😭 and it's a minor god so whenever someone is like "well what abilities do you have" ranpo is just like "that's so insensitive you didn't bother learning the lore behind my godly parent? How does it feel to be super disrespectful" Until they shut up ajdjskka

And for a snippet tbh there's not a lot written rn but here's a conversation after the first meeting where Lucy gets poe's dramatic ass out of the Athena cabin 😭

____________________

Lucy unceremoniously plops herself on the floor next to him, leaning against the bed frame with crossed arms. Edgar doesn’t move. Maybe if he stays completely still, she won’t be able to see him. Like that one dinosaur. Actually, Edgar is pretty sure that was already debunked, but whatever.

Unfortunately, Lucy is a bit better at tracking down her targets than a hypothetical dinosaur, which Edgar would have to hope, seeing as the dinosaurs haven’t been able to track down prey for a while. But that means he’s pretty sure she knows he’s there. It may also be because the blanket he has wrapped around his shoulders was a gag gift from one of his juniors, with cartoon raccoons in outrageously bright colors adorning both sides. Or because his real raccoon, Karl, is pawing at his knees.

Rather than point any of that out, though, Lucy picks Karl up and places him in her lap, scratching behind his ear before taking a deep breath.

“Raccoons are rodents, right? Like big rats?” she asks, not quite to Edgar but not not to Edgar. He grits his teeth, because he knows where this is going. “Or are they mammals?”

Edgar stays stubbornly silent.

(Raccoons are mammals, by the way. But they aren’t rodents. They’re a member of the Carnivora order, as opposed to the Rodentia. Mammals and rodents aren’t even the same level of classification. He knows this, she knows this, and she knows he knows this.)

“But, like,” she continues flippantly, well aware of just how badly Edgar itches to correct her. “They’d be pretty big rodents. Isn’t there one rodent that’s really big? Like, really big. It starts with a 'C,' I think. Eh, maybe Karl’s bigger actually.”

Capybara, Edgar says in his mind. But he can’t say it—he can’t let her win. He’s going to remain entirely silent until Lucy gets bored and he can be left to wallow in peace.

“Oh! It’s a condor, right?”

Edgar blinks, for once, genuinely baffled. Before he can stop himself, he squints, and—

“Condors are birds,” he hisses, and then he freezes entirely. Shit. Her grin is conniving, mixed with pride and victory, and Edgar groans.

“Why does that work every time?” he asks.

“Because you’re a snob who can’t help but correct people,” she answers cheerfully. He never should have given her that animal facts book. How was he supposed to know she would just use it to quote incorrect facts at him whenever he clammed up?

She was right, though. He did love correcting people. He's pretty sure he got it from his mother.

“So,” she deposits Karl onto his legs, “Why are you moping?”

“I’m not moping.”

“Sure, sure. Why were you hiding in the corner of the room with a blanket over your head and being sad, then?”

Edgar doesn’t bother commenting on that entirely inaccurate portrayal of his actions. “You know why.”

She groans, “So what if that newbie solved your case? You’ve got plenty of others.”

“He publicly humiliated me!” Edgar protests. He should have brought harder cases. Even if they were for an orientation event. “He called me an idiot.”

“I call you an idiot all the time?”

“Well you’re just mean. Everyone knows that.”

Lucy smacks his arm before relenting, sighing as she leans her head on her knees. “I guess those are fighting words for an Athena kid, aren’t they.”

“That’s like—” he stops, trying to think of an ample comparison. “That’s like a stranger coming up to you after seeing Anne and saying that it looks like you couldn’t tell the difference between an allen wrench and a screwdriver. Or that you should have used copper instead of iron!”

“Oh, those are fighting words,” Lucy amends, and Edgar nods, feeling validated. “So what are you going to do?”

Edgar blinks, “What?”

“You aren’t going to let him just get away with that, are you? Because if someone did that to me, I’d sic Anne on him.”

“Well, seeing as I’m already mortified, I was thinking about just staying in my room for the rest of the summer. Ango or Sigma can take over leading orientation. Actually, I’m not even a cabin head—why am I doing this anyway?”

“Because of your flourishing social abilities, of course,” Lucy deadpans.

[yuukei-yikes]

i think something i didnt appreciate enough until the most recent part is how vital momo is to literally every side of the group in the mekadan. like shes most disconnected from harutaka/ayano simply because she didnt know them very well or at all really until post str but her being involved in the trio + marry’s life significantly is just so so so important to me. her and kido obviously are everything. them soon to be engaged makes me spin around in a circle so joyously it makes me eeeheheheheeee aaa!! like cannot word it. i love them. momo and kano working together too and being kinda besties because of it is also !! so fun! i like that they chat and gossip and clearly are friendly. they make me smile so big and wide i love that they joke around like that and she told him about the proposal and wanted to practice. Momo And Marry Are Best Friends Forever. Anyways. seto and momo havent interacted much i supposed but with momo being so integral to the rest of his family obviously they fuck w each other heavily like i think they have to get along for the sake of momo being everything and amazing. also like? hibiya. hibiya and momo have been through so much stupid shit hand in hand they pack bonded and he hates it. thats his weird aunt/older sister/friend/person he begrudgingly deals with. they have barely any secrets imo. they cant. he sucks at lying and she loves gossiping. they are in hell together. and hiyori… ugh Ugh i love her. i love how no bullshit she is. i love that she is a rock that momo has to push around or just deal with because she needs someone like that. kido can be the thing that pushes momo and keeps her on track with somethings, but hiyori makes sure she sees shit through and i really really enjoy that. idk. this is long and rambly but i just really really love momo and how important she is to the world. hope she continues being her forever <3

DONT GET ME STARTED I'M SO OBSESSED WITH MOMO'S FRIENDSHIP WITH MEKATRIO+MARY. listen SHE'S THE FIRST TO MEET THEM. SHE'S INTRODUCED INTO THE FRIEND GROUP, SHE'S THE ONE TO TAKE IT FROM JUST A DOMESTIC FAMILY TO A WHOLE FRIEND GROUP. momo is the FIRST OUTSIDER THEY LET IN. DUDE *SHAKES YOU* she's their first friend. she's not family she's A FRIEND AND THATS IT'S OWN KIND OF SPECIAL

they're best friends. don't even jokeeeee with me. seto and momo should be more explored ur right. idk if i will in the kagefuture comics 'cause i try to be more subtle with the background relationships but they definitely get along so well they're all best friends like seriously. and hibiya and momo are so precious to me... at first i was gonna add a line abt how hibiya refused to let momo practice on him LOLLL he would be like eugh gross dont do that. he definitely helped her shop for a ring btw. also kano would offer to turn into kido but momo would be like thats icky dont do that.

kano and momo being good friends is kind of everything actually i really like the idea that they work together i think momo has a lot of money cause she does other stuff you know so i feel she starts doing nails as a whim because she's very artistic (no i wont let go of her participating in an art contest) so she wants to do something else too. so she does nails for a bit then she's like very nonchalantly like i'll open a salon! whatever! she's still very hard working so she's always on the grind

i think her getting a little aloof with money is kinda funny. shintaro and momo not having a lot of money growing up but having a lot of money as adults. heh. shintaro has a REALLY cheap lifestyle (him living in a studio apartment but also he's at other people's places like carpet all the time. i drew 14 comics until he was home. JUST STAY THERE NEET) but momo's more like omg. i'll treat myself. and also you and you and you and you and you.

so when she decides she wants to open her own place she brings it up to kano like REALLY CHILL like hi. i'm gonna do this thing. wanna come work with me. i wont charge u or anything for working there u will pay me through being my friend at work and we will be happy forever and ever. and also maybe take care of difficult customers for me im bad with that. and kano's like HELLO. OKAY!!!!!!!!!!! and i think hiyori, while she takes care of momo's internet stuff, also takes care of things for the salon like taxes and shit. lol. sorry for the oddly specific team of kano, momo and hiyori as coworkers in a 10 year timeskip. hiyori not liking kano cause he's such a people pleaser to ayano but him growing on her when they are around each other without ayano. he's kinda serious and if it's work related and important he will sit his ass down and listen which momo sometimes doesn't do so hiyori likes that because if theyre both serious momo will stop dilly dallying. hiyori bonding with mekatrio btw she's their auntie too if u even care WHATEVER.

i'm obsessed with thinking of their daily lives. i have very specific headcanons regarding the lives and jobs of everyone in the dan in case it wasn't super evident.

[newlabournewromantics]

okay so i'm not british (i'm just a teenage girl hungry for knowledge 😔✊) but i watched one video and as a result i've been consuming an insane amount of new labour media for the past week even though i've never been interested in uk politics besides keeping up with global news LMAO i genuinely wanna know more so where do you think i should start with books films etc 😭

books (from the outside)

(by from the outside I mean written by people not directly involved in newlab, so historians/journalists etc)

the two classic newlab texts are servants of the people and the end of the party, both by andrew rawnsley from the observer. provide nice, extensive but not overly fussy histories of newlab from opposition to 2010. good balance of gossip and actual information!

my personal favourite is rivals by james naughtie (bbc reporter), I find the prose in it far more compelling than any other book on this list.

brown's britain (robert peston) is also very good!

you've mentioned that you're not from the UK, so I really really really would recommend reading a book/a few articles on the broader history of the British Labour Party, just so you can understand why newlab was so revolutionary. I quite like keeping the red flag flying

autobiographies/diaries/books from ppl directly involved:

(these will inevitably be more biased)

the new machiavelli by jonathan powell is my absolute favourite self-written newlab book - and you might learn some stuff ant machiavelli whilst ur at it so this is an essential imo

my life our times by gordon brown is another one I really enjoyed, although it's less gossipy than some of the other books on this list. admittedly I do agree with basically everything gordon brown has ever said so this is a very biased review, but I would give it a go!

obviously alastair campbell wrote a load of diaries. I would be careful with which volumes you choose to get - go for the ones published 2010 and onwards bc he made the choice to omit stuff from the first few volumes he published so that it wouldn't' hurt gordon's premiership. also, they're really long and really extensive, so pick which volumes you want to read based on which specific period of newlab you find yourself drawn to!

as a comms/polling fan (boo) I really liked unfinished revolution by philip gould, but this might not be the best book to start with.

damian mcbride's power trip (more diaries) is also interesting

big fan of point of departure by robin cook asw!

I found tony's books excruciating to read but that's bc im crazy and think I know the inside of his mind like its my own so they might be good for you. his new book is FASCINATING but only in the sense of it exposing how big his messiah complex is. don't read any of his books if you're not down to hear about sex and/or technology.

oh a note: mandelson has written books but I don't like him so im not going to recommend them <3

tv/film

tony and gordon aren't really all that into big heartfelt chats about newlab, esp not together, but a few good docs have been made

blair and brown: the new labour revolution (bbc, 2021) - this is a classic, it's where I got my newlab start as a tender sixteen year old politics student u can't beat it! watch this one first

the blair years (bbc 2007)

out of the shadows and we are the treasury (here and here)

blair's thousand days (1 2)

if you're into tbgb, please please please watch the deal. I don't like much of the michael sheen as blair content, but the deal (2003) is so good.

if you want me to rec bits of tv from the newlab years that I think r cool and worth watching then send another ask and ill tell u! but obv theyre not much use if you're just getting into newlab :)

alastair did interviews with tony and ed miliband 6/7 years ago. not all about newlab, but very interesting to watch and observe the dynamics!

podcasts

matt forde of the political party has done interviews with a lot of newlab figures, from tony all the way to the more junior spads. I especially like the joint one he did with ed balls and alastair campbell, and the first tony one. these r less good for actually learning facts about newlab but really like listening to them as a way to sort of get into these ppls heads and observe them in a more casual setting. also a gordon interview asw !

if you can bear listening to george osborne talk (I can but others r more sensible) then political currency is also a good place to get lil tidbits of newlab gossip, bc ed balls is one of the hosts and he's super messy he loves chatting abt gordon.

ideology/boring stuff etc!

ok u can ignore this section if you want but these r some books about the ideology that underpinned newlab - I think it's fascinating!

the third way by giddens (literally the newlab bible and I think the only theory that blair took seriously)

crosland’s the future of socialism!! influenced gb and caused so much internal labour drama so evidently its excellent

if you want a really interesting essay on Iraq I recommend this

podcast on centrism that touches a lot on clinton/newlab/blair etc

oh and just for fun!!!!! here's a playlist of all the songs written canonically actually irl about tony blair.

lmk if you want any other recs!!!!!

It's so true Broadchurch managed to create gay pining levels of 'let them kiss and confess their love and get married' except it's 'let them hug sometimes and say one nice thing to each other for every fifty mean things and be besties forever'. I completely understand this translating to wanting them to kiss because there is SO much tension and a love confession is a way to have a big release all at once. I don't think I'd even have hated it if they did! (although I'm glad they didn't). But in my heart there is no Moment of release there's just 20 years down the line when they're neighbors and retired from a long career of mutually enabled police malpractice, sitting on the porch and exchanging judgy gossip about passer-by. Being mean to each other is still their love language, but it's gone all soft around the edges and they smile to themselves and know without fear how important they are to one another. They hug about four times a year. In ten more years they'll hug freely and sometimes they'll hold hands <3

This is literally so exactly it. They're gonna grow old together and sit in little their next door cottages by the river/ocean (wherever Alec's little blue house was) being like "when you fall down and yell for me I'm not gonna come help you" "I didn't ask for your help did I? and stop walking into my house without permission you don't live here." They hug once a year max imo but yeah they soften around the edges eventually

s2, ep10 THE BAD RES STRIKES AGAIN PLEASE GOD HELP MEEEE whatever. anyways, REALLY good and cute henchman face as a re-opener for the monarch crew

"what do you think? pretty sweet, huh?" huge enjoyer of that thing monarch does when he's not being particularly manic or volatile and villainous you know, the thing where he's normal and polite and trying be all impressive/buddy-buddy with whatever person/other villain he's trying to warm up to? i know it's called "being normal" but really, i do think monarch is cute whenever he's not horrid and a migraine lol

"if you don't mind me saying - you seem to be a tad overstaffed in your control room." WHAT DO YOU KNOW???? ASSHOLE. MONARCH is a VERY (selectively) SOCIAL ANIMAL!!! he NEEDS his guys surrounding him and occupying his spaces at ALL times. if he doesn't then he gets too lonely and does that thing that cats do when no ones in the room and they start meowing/crying REALLY really loud (, ; _ ;)

also taking a moment here to point out how badass and cool the black guards are. very nice and impressive suits. intimidating and nice. fitting. honestly, without the wings they'd be good villain suits all on their own. something about how covered up and anonymous + quiet they are MAKES the whole situation + get up so good. really nothing like most other henchmen we see in the series at all. it's nice. also they're kind of hot lmao

"eeuuaahh.. him, and ah.. the dead guy NEXT to him." by social animal i meant he's a "whatever is whatever fucking kill that guy idc" animal sorry lel ALSO POINTING OUT THE SUITS AGAINNNN THEY LITERALLY LOOK LIKE THEIR OWN SOLO VILLAINS THEY'RE SO FUCKING COOOLLL

the boys gossiping you love to see it also pointing out that i think it's pretty cool that whenever monarch runs into someone that he deems as superior (on some really MENTALLY DISTANT level) (for the sake of his own ego), smarter, useful and/or mandatory - he'll mostly whatever it is they want/suggests (depends on the thing imo) so long as it also satisfies/benefits him (usually through the means of him receiving some sort of help or assistance) honestly not a MASSIVE "point out worthy" thingy since this is just basic shit and monarch kills henchmen like it's nothing: but i like that he's kind of big on first impressions sometimes idk lel i'm mostly mentioning this because i believe he TOTALLY wanted to fuck henry (will be brought up later)

"i'm still wearing an orange JERKIN! >:(" yellow jerkin. that is a YELLOW jerkin.

also you guys ever notice how huge monarchs head is it's either really tiny or a fucking unit

4,7,20 and 22 for ryuusae :) especially curious about the family one for reasons (sae and rin)

a ship I adore but don't write much for! I read Ryusae fics pretty often, so it's fun to do some of my own thinking about them. Thanks anon!

4. Favorite non-sexual activity?

Shopping! These two have unique senses of style, and while Sae would probably prefer to get all his clothes online, he'll indulge Shidou and join him at a shopping centre for a date. Shidou enjoys modelling new outfits for his boyfriend's approval, and is more than happy testing out new skincare products with Sae. No comment on what they get up to in the changing rooms

I think they'd also enjoy self-care hang-outs—getting manicures or going to the spa together.

7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?

For Shidou, literally nothing. There isn't a thought in his head that he doesn't vocalise. He tells Sae immediately.

If Sae falls first, similar to Rin he has a crisis about whatever's happening to him: what the hell is the lukewarm feeling in his chest whenever he sees Shidou? Blech! It wouldn't influence his interactions with Shidou that much, but the eye rolling and protests against Shidou's antics became half-hearted.

When they get together, Sae would hesitate to put any kind of label on their relationship, but would privately admit to Shidou that he makes him happy.

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship?

The answer to this greatly depends on when Sae and Shidou get together. If it's right after the U20 match, then Sae's relationship with Rin will tank even further. Like, Shidou only just kicked Rin in the face... and Rin still resents Sae for picking Shidou over Rin to play alongside Sae against the Blue Lock 11. If they're older when Sae and Shidou become an item, Rin still won't be overjoyed—but he's less likely to actively daydream about shanking the pair of them.

Sae's parents have no clue what to make of Shidou, but they do their best to be supportive. If Sae's happy, then they'll try to accept Shidou. Although, his mom might privately complain to her husband about Sae dating the one guy that kicked the shit out of Rin 🫠

We know nothing about Shidou's family, but my sense is that nothing surprises them any more. They might appreciate Sae since he demonstrates a calming effect on Shidou... if they still have a good relationship with Shidou themselves.

No one from Blue Lock is surprised that Shidou has the hots for Sae, but the news that Sae reciprocates his feelings is a bombshell. It's hot gossip, but no one's brave enough to admit to Sae or Shidou's face that their relationship is a surprise.

22. Who cooks more/who is better at cooking?

I love domestic AU fics where Shidou can cook well and makes nutritious food for Sae 🩷 For that reason alone, I want to say Shidou for this. I don't think he's a exceptional chef or anything, but he puts more effort into learning techniques than the average adolescent. He's also really thrifty with ingredients and tries to minimise food waste.

Sae's a combini-fuelled kid like Rin IMO. He probably gets meals prepared for him at Réal, so he's only really capable of cup ramen levels of cookery. So the fact Shidou cooks is a big point in his favour when he and Sae get together.

the trend of people, all along the range of establishment dems to leftists, to call for trump to be replaced are so bizarre to me. like, yeah, i get the sentiment. we hate trump. he's a fascist and a liar and dangerous to democracy and yes, yes, yes agreed. but he is a WEAK candidate for the republican party.

up until this point we've had essentially a race to the bottom. biden should've sweeped trump, as an incumbent who did have some decent policies in motion, but he's a corpse who stans isnotreal and has an increasingly reactionary approach to immigration (this is something we NEED to push kamala on, btw). he also has historically low approval ratings, which has never rlly spelled out good news for incumbents.

well, okay, biden sucks, so trump should we sweeping him. well... sort of. trump, unlike biden, has a strong base of support. he has people who will only vote for him, while biden supporters are essentially just dem party supporters. the thing is though - much of his supporter base historically does not vote consistently. many of them don't believe in organized goverment at all, so they may not vote based on that.

but aside from that element, the bigger focus is the moderates. the people like my personal grandparents. white, wealthy, from the suburbs, lutheran, stans ronald reagan (named their boxer reagan). and trump freaks them out! they want normalcy. they want order. they're plenty racist, but they don't want an insurrection.

moderate voters are the ones you absolutely need to bag, regardless of party, and at the moment the dems (depending on how they move forward) could have a major advantage now that biden's out. they have a cop vs a criminal; a goofy laughbox vs a violent menace; a woman who connects with her stepchildren and seems happy with her husband vs the guy who called his own daughter hot and had the rnc commentators gossiping about his marriage. this is not a reflection of what matters to me personally, but rather of what generally matters to american voters. this dynamic is flimsy, because it takes work to push a narrative, and the dems have roughly a month til their convention, three til election day. they can push kamala and promote enticing policies, as long as they actually push kamala and promote enticing policies.

in addition, trump weirdly had a terrible pick for vp. jd vance is supposed to help trump's ticket appear less establishment, more in connection with the rust belt, but vance has been sucking up to the dems and pushing down his appalachian community for years.

and trump has maxed out on name recognition. it's pretty difficult for someone to not have a decently solid opinion on someone who has already been president for four years. red voters who know they don't like him - primarily moderates - can't really be all that psyched to vote him back into office.

now why, WHY, would we encourage the republican party to swap the trump-vance ticket for someone more competent, not so unruly and impolite? someone who can feign common decency, who can more effectively pretend to be better than they are?

please don't get sucked up in the "no you!" push, because (imo) that's all it is. it's just seeing the dems fuck up, be called out, then seeing the reps do the same thing, and wanting to call it out to get even. i don't think that's the move right now.

i think the move is to take the coconut pill for few months or so, pretend to get along, hope the dems do their part for once, and come jan 21st, we can go full throttle pushing kamala to fix everything.

oh, and vote august 6th!! multiple progressive state reps are up for re-election (shout out cori bush), as well as local reps and ballot measures. november 5th matters, but the next big one is only 2 weeks from today!

TPB ThunderClan character preferences headcanons

In general I hc every character to be bi, because that's me (and it opens up plenty of possibilities that don't conflict with the actual canon). But some cats with more specific preferences include:

Firestar: Prefers toms. Has probably had at least one fling with nearly every tom in ThunderClan by the time they move territories. Sandstorm considers it a big W to have gotten with him, considering this.

Graystripe: Prefers she-cats, except for Firestar, who is his favorite. Graystipe is disaster bi and so are his son (Stormfur) and grandson (Feather of Flying Hawk). Graystripe is just generally down.

Ravenpaw: Precious little gay cat. Had an awkward apprentice crush on Tigerclaw until he was clearly a villain. Then had it down bad for Firepaw until he lived happily ever after with Barley.

Tigerclaw: All of his relationships are transactional. I do like the AU idea where he's so taken with Fireheart's genuineness that he falls for him though.

Whitestorm: The clan's gay uncle. For romance it's all toms, but he's had kits with his she-cat besties. He knows all the gossip about who's into who.

Lionheart: The straightest man in the clan, much to Whitestorm's consternation.

Darkstripe: Do I need to say it?

Longtail: The coolest bisexual in ThunderClan. All the cats I specifically ship him with prior to his retirement are toms (hello LongFire) but I just know in my heart that he is the most true-neutral bisexual in camp.

Mousefur: She identified as a lesbian for all of her warrior life (and imo had a big crush on Bluestar) but in retirement she found herself kissing some toms (Longtail/Mousefur cuddle time forever)

Bluestar: Unless they're from RiverClan, she's all about the she-cats.

Dustpelt: "Straight." Yeah okay buddy, I'm sure it definitely just took you and Brackenfur 5 hours to gather sticks to fix the den.

Brackenfur: It would be shorter to list all the cats that Brackenfur did NOT have a crush on at some point.

Sandstorm: I get demi vibes honestly. She just really genuinely likes Firestar (and she's 100% cool with him having tom partners!).

Frostfur, Brindleface, and Goldenflower: They're like career moms? I don't generally think of them as being especially romantically attached to the fathers of their kits, it's more like they were just the toms who helped them with their work. They've got throuple energy.

Cloudtail & Brightheart: They're so almost a monogamous straight couple, but I feel like they like to pull in a tom as a third sometimes.

Thornclaw: Patrols.

Is there like a popularity threshold below which you'd allow people to act/perform music/create art for the public? Or must it all be automated to save people from the potential negative effects of fame?

hmm, first off, disclaimer: posts prefixed with "hot take" are intentionally inflammatory, not carefully considered proposals, and are not things which i necessarily actually endorse wholeheartedly (or at all). this particular post was inspired by me stumbling across a reddit post on r/all where a ton of people who as far as i know do not personally know joe jonas and sophie turner were intensely discussing if and why they might be divorcing. like jesus christ, people. you don't know these two, you never will, and you have no reason whatsoever to care even an iota about their lives, except that the Monkey Status Module sitting on top of your limbic system is telling you "ooh! high-status monkey! let us pay attention to them!"

actors, and certain kinds of musicians, for whatever reason seem to come in for this kind of obsessive treatment most of all, second only perhaps to the british royal family. probably because they're intensely recognizable, and often attractive. they serve, i suppose, as a canvas for projecting our own hopes and insecurities. every once in a while i get served a tiktok which alludes to the existence of the people who secretly believe that a) taylor swift is a lesbian, and b) she is carefully sending coded messages about her lesbianism to her die-hard fans through her music. this is objectively insane behavior. just truly a monumental waste of time. the people who spend their time and energy thinking about this sort of thing are the equivalent of sovcits--deranged, if frequently by the grace of god not quite deranged enough to qualify for a clinical diagnosis.

there are celebrities of other categories who 1) tend not to achieve fame until a little bit later in life (and so are less prone to actual exploitation) and b) even when they do so tend not to attract the same kind of obsessive, rabid maniacs. writers rarely make it big before their 30s; even prodigies like christopher paolini don't become objects of obsession, or superstardom. jk rowling became like the first or second person ever to make it to billionaire status off her writing career, but people still don't really give her deference, or obsess about her personal life. politicians are very well known, but frequently held in (IMO) a healthy degree of contempt and suspicion simply by virtue of their profession. you get exceptions like Trump--but they're obviously divisive figures, often as deeply unpopular with the broader public as they are popular with their own core constituency. many smaller or more workaday musicians, who are not the subject of marketing pushes by large labels, but who may still be widely known.

we could imagine a system where all entertainment and celebrity gossip magazines were simply banned, and nobody was allowed to act in TV or film until they were 45. that would have a certain charm to it! it might help revitalize struggling regional theater scenes, as people honed their craft in anticipation of competing for film roles once they came of age. and, of course, it would be great to see child roles played by, like Hugh Jackman walking on his knees. all drama is artifice, after all; what we take as acceptable deviation from reality now (like 20 year olds playing high schoolers in TV shows) is simply a result of convention and habit; we could form new convention and new habits if we really wanted to. personally, i think gary oldman could play any role he set his mind to if we gave him a chance.

but technology offers us a better way. really, we've had the technology since we invented animation, but i suppose there is always a desire to achieve a certain verisimilitude in certain kinds of art. we no longer have to compromise. between AI and sophisticated computer graphics, why not simply abolish those professions that tend to produce figures that (for reasons of marketing or simply a defect in our ape-minds) we cannot be normal about? we can create sui generis faces for each film or TV show. maybe we can demand all pop music stars go about masked like the daft punk duo.

that's no help with the royals or for sports stars, though i think i am pretty much on record as saying both those jobs would, in the best of all possible worlds, be abolished for other reasons anyway.

A couple of times you have mentioned that you were surprised that JE and Olivia had lasted 2 years. Based on gossip sites over the last couple of years, is that they were off and on. More off because that is what he wanted. There were lots of sightings of him at events where he was really flirty or hitting on someone. My opinion and this is just my opinion, he is a clout chaser. I think he tried to find another higher profile girlfriend, but just could not. So his 'hook-up' is now a more serious girlfriend. Funny thing is no one really seems to care, as far as entertainment sites are concerned. On a side note, I never thought that he was really that in to Zendaya. I just did not think that her truly understood her, but once a again , just my opinion.

Oh I didn't know that they were off and on.

I usually don't follow them all that closely tbh, but thnx for this insight that they've been off and on. Didn't know that.

There were lots of sightings of him at events where he was really flirty or hitting on someone.

I wouldn't be surprised.... He was doing that stuff while he was dating Z too. 😒 I always gave him the side eye for that. It was embarrassing! I know for a FACT that he was being flirty with Kaia while he was dating Zendaya.🙁 There's actual footage and evidence that I've posted on my blog. That's why many of us in the fandom weren't even shocked at all when he and Kaia were spotted together for the first time in Sept back when he finally flew back to LA from Australia for the first time since covid. 🙄

My opinion and this is just my opinion, he is a clout chaser. I think he tried to find another higher profile girlfriend, but just could not. So his 'hook-up' is now a more serious girlfriend.

I've heard a lot of ppl say that.

Funny thing is no one really seems to care, as far as entertainment sites are concerned.

They're not really all that interesting tbh. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I think he's gonna need a really big role, or one that endears him to more people for the media (or even the general public) to really care about his rlshps like that. When he was with Kaia, he got spotted all the time... but she has ppl papping her just for breathing rofl, so it's no surprise that any guy who dates her is gonna get papped a lot while with her. 🤭

On a side note, I never thought that he was really that in to Zendaya. I just did not think that her truly understood her, but once a again , just my opinion.

This was actually one of my biggest reasons why I didn't like him!! 🤨

This is THEE Zendaya you're dating. You're lucky she's even giving you the time of day when she just broke up with her super-famous millionaire boyfriend Tom. Rofl 🤣 JE was a HUGE step down for her... just in terms of stats imo lol 😆

He just always seemed checked out or going through the motions when he was dating Zendaya. Kaia seemed more his speed no offense. Their rlshp was off too (don't get me wrong), but at least I saw more pics of them being like a normal couple lol.

I'm like, how can you go from Tom Holland (who was so in love with you) to this dude who doesn't even have the decency to look up from his phone when he's with you most of the time? 🥴

Even the pics where she's laughing in NYC... She's like: 🤣😂

And He's like: 😐

It just seemed ODD to me 🥴 Their energy was so off to me. And he looked pissed off most of the time.

Everything about their rlshp seemed off to me. I'm sure he and Z had lots in common, but I never got "warm", "romantic" vibes from them at all. 🥴 It was just strange girl lol. 😅

I'm sure they had fun together and stuff, and maybe at one point Z thought she loved him lol, but they were definitely BOTH rebounding with each other, so it wasn't gonna last. Not when you have so much unfinished business with your ex. Jmho 🤷🏾‍♀️

[synonymouswithanonymous]

just for fun!

Thoughts, opinions, and a just for fun timeline. Google and a couple tumblr rabbit holes later....disclaimer lots of rumors with receipts for rumors.

I too find it weird that the same people talking about Johanne used to describe MK, Rikke, and Fanny the same exact way. Down to the same wording. Except they used to go after MK'S tattoos like they're a bad thing. People were awful about her, and the rest. Now Johanne and his family and friends are getting it too.

Now they act like a friendship, spanning 7 years, is something "more"  bc he likes her posts. Lol I bet he likes a lot of people's/friends posts, guys and girls. Probably a lot of private accounts too bc a lot of his friends went private bc people kept posting his friends' videos and pics. I don't understand why he can't like any of the accounts he follows without it causing a stir. Lol liking a post isn't a big deal lol. People can be friends, it's not like he doesn't have TON of female friends lol. I doubt he's still pining for her, and probably hasn't for a long long time.

It's not like he hasn't dated since or before (Olivia who rejected him supposedly 2017).

And he's older now and probably has sown his wild oats and wants to settle down with the woman he loves (Johanne). And I think, personal opinion, that now he has someone who matches him, loves him as he is, and let's him be just who he is. All goofy funny husky puppy energy Alex. That's great imo.

Busy boy in 2018.😂😂😃😃 he was young.

People were also posting about topless photos of Gee with Alex. They're deleted now.

· Mar 9, 2018When she finally responds to your desperate love letter text that you know she opened 35 min.… twitter (while in England)

Strange tea about Alex, take with grain of salt etc

May 17 '18#1310

"Does anyone follow Alex H. on instagram? His story yesterday so much cringe, or the hashtag #phatasswhitegirl = Alicia A.  :eyeroll: she's the white girl that has fame for being a white girl with a big ass after that scene with Ivar, trying to get her attention alluding her? she's way out of your league, kid."

"He is a creep, he follows her even on spotify when she goes under a secret username but she doesn't follow him back :rofl: smart girl."

Lipstick alley source (I google alex hogh gee hirst threesome and it popped up, the above links. And quote/gossip came from there.)

May 29, 2018 the weekend/pics he took of MK were posted. Cryptic post from her around this timeframe.

Jun 17, 2018 alex hogh with rikke westi red carpet its official twitter:

"Alex Høgh with Rikke Westi via alexhoeghandersen: "Rikke has always been too cool for school, but now it’s official. Watch out. She’s special. Huge congratulations my friend"

August 20th, 2018, Anonymous asked:

"What kind of relationship is there between Alex Høgh Andersen and Mary Kate Slattery???"

"As far as I know they are friends. For a hot minute I thought there might be something but that passed"

So they stayed friends it seems. Maybe they just realized they're better as friends? Maybe the rejection was mutual after all? Maybe he wasn't trying to be serious, just seeing how it goes? Or vice versa we will never know. Good for them. That's mature to stay friends. 😊 Her boyfriend type seems different from Alex. Not a bad thing to each their own.

Late 2018-2020 he dated a few others, one I think named Kaja? I've researched enough for a day. 😆 😆  there were blondes and brunettes, several women, one at the Zulu awards. One sitting on his lap at distortion which was posted on tumblr May 30, 2019 (edited to fix date).

That twitter/x post and IG posts don't seem to be focused so much on privacy. As some claim he's all about, I've always thought he was only private when he wanted to be. That's his choice. 😊😊 So I'm still not getting how Johanne ever "violated" his privacy.

So MK only likes his RC posts/posts that have Johanne in them. That's sweet she probably LIKES Johanne too. She's probably happy for her friend.

Seems like what friends do to me! Like posts and Support each other and be happy for each other. 😊😊😊

Another long post, but as ever don't expect it to be read. Just want to say what I want to say. 😊😊😊

PS I don't think it's weird that he's dated around before finding someone serious. You gotta shop around, see how the "clothes" fit before you buy them. Dating is what people do before they find their match. You gotta figure out what you like/want/need and what you don't like/want/need.😃

[thegreatimpersonator]

regarding this discourse of the swiftologist not believing taylor wrote atw 10 mins in 2012, imo taylor's biggest songwriting strength is stating simple messages in unconventional ways, and many swifties like him believe that she's a good songwriter because she uses "big words they have to look up".

case in point: right where you left me is leagues and oceans ahead of the lakes in terms of songwriting and it uses very simple phrasing but great rhythm and storytelling technique

oh yeah i definitely think swifties have a very simplistic way of looking at art (hence why they only care about the gossip not the actual art most of the time), and the way everyone was like 'shes using these words we had to look up' when folklore came out i was like.... this is weird that thats the measurement of intelligence and good songwriting... 'big words' doesnt really mean anything unless they're used in a creative way. rwylm and the lakes is such a good example too. like rwylm is SUCH a good, creative way to talk about trauma and being stuck in one place because of it, and the lakes whole concept is 'lets run away together' and thats basically it but it uses fancy words so people think its insane lol, and im saying this as someone who likes both songs.
