[pand0ra-127]

im a hater and a hypocrite with no shame

the way I absolutely hate on colleen hoover and any of those nasty ass dark romance books that romanticize r-word/misogony/sa/abuse

acting all repulsed and shocked over how people (women mostly) enjoy this kind of "crap"

knowing damn well im giggling and kicking my feet reading PENOLOPE DOUGLAS books??!

who I will say with a hand on my heart has managed to make me okay with liking a fictional s-assaulter (idk how tumblr censors things im kind of new at this)

cause lets be fr rn... thats what Damon Torrance is

like its been months?! DECADES EVEN (like 6 months maybe) since I finished all the books and I havent read anything else after it.

nothin has grasped my interest as much as the devils night series did and that makes me soooooo mad

what managed to make the devils night series "peak" in my brain

so if anyone has any recommendations over books with like a similar premise? maybe even more likable men (my fav guys were kai and will.. damon too but like less disgusting)

smut isnt even that relevant, I just want toxic couples

im aware that im clearly not the target audience for dark romance cuz im literally 16 and a child

but nothing else is doing it for me like these sluts are

and to be fair I was raised early on by wattpad (my wattpad account dates back to early 2018 😀 like girl I was 10)

[effervescentdragon]

Hi bestie, for ur sleepover I have some sleepover gossip for you! I met a guy 😭 he’s so cute 😭😭😭 I really like him but he lives like two hours away from me 🥲 I said going into this dating business that I didn’t want a long distance relationship but… it barely counts bc we’re on the same island! And I really really like him 😌😌😌 help also I’m not normally the type who is easily emotionally attached to people romantically but. I’ve spoken to him for a handful of days and I’m SWOONING what is this 😭😭😭😭 (like I’m serious I thought I might be aro for a while!)

oooooh that is soooooo good to hear omg im so glad for you, that you like someone that much! i think its a good thing in general, to know youre able to feel that way, it tells you sth about yourself first and foremost. now, i'm obligated to tell you the same thing i tell all my friends - so long as you enjoy it, go for it/go with it! life's too precious to cut ourselves from joy (says she, like the biggest hypocrite ever). also, v important question: 2hrs by public transport, 2hrs by like a bus or a train, or 2hrs by car? bcs those are kinda different distances.. my motto is, where there's will, theres a way (i was in a long distance relationship but that was the part that sucked the least if im honest, tho it did suck). so long as you both like each other, talk about it i guess? i miss feeling in love/infatuated tbh it sound super wonderful 🥹❤️

[butchgrayson]

3, 4, 12 and 24 for dick grayson our beloved

dick grayson our beloved <3 i am about to be so fucking annoying about him

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Joke-ish answer everything from TT nightwing (and rebirth nightwing in general). I just ignore its existence tbh.

Real answer I had a lot of difficulty answering bc i loveeeeee dick's flaws i love it when he's a cunt i love it when he self isolates i love it when he is a hypocrite the tension between his bad traits and his love for people/his friends, his dedication to heroism his intellect all of it is what made me fall in love with his character <3 BUT THEN. i remembered cop dick grayson. who i have almost completely wiped from my mind bc i hate it so so so so bad. it just doens't make sense with him as a person, like whyyyyyy would he ever go and join a police force more corrupt than gothams?????? its so anathema to who he his/his character history that my blood boils whenever i reread nw96 or see that era mentioned in fandom spaces LMAO whatever. im not even mad. in my own personal dc universe that lives in my brain and the personal wiki i have on my laptop the bludhaven cop era was an extended undercover/infiltration strategy. dick's true career calling should be being a bartender/doing seasonal work <3

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

ACE ATTORNEY !! i have an extended dc ace attorney au that i will post about someday but even outside of that it would be soooo fun to see him as either a protag (esp given that the defence attorneys in aa have to do all of their own detective work) OR as a supporting character. i think he would fit right in with the main cast of the series too, especially trucy (fellow circus kids !!!) and apollo <3

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Another one i had a difficult time w just because how can i pick there r so many. BUT i saw a post earlier that reminded me that i am a dick grayson occasional smoker truther. i understand why most people would NOT agree w this but its a little self-indulgent i fully admit. on the one hand like yes he is a high level athlete/why would he do anything that he knows have bad health impacts but i can say as a former (semi) high level athlete i think that is the demographic i have known that has the highest proportion of smokers LMAO i think he picks it up in the ntt era originally as a social smoking thing whenever the titans would party or whatever (another self indulgence is i think he picks up the habit from donna) and it eventually turns into a very rare (as in, goes through a 1.5 packs a year) stress management technique when shit with bruce/the family/the titans/a case gets bad. he's filled with a lot of guilt over it but this does not stop him.

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

See there are so few characters with the specific brand of neuroses/issues that dick has that i was stumped on BUT while it is very much not a one-to-one i draw soooooo many parallels between him and declan lynch from the raven cycle series. ESP DURING THE ERA WHERE BRUCE IS "DEAD". pov you are the eldest child of an emotionally unavailable man who has involved you with his underworld/vigilante dealings since you were far too young to be doing so and so you take up the burden of it and incorporate it so deeply into your sense of self that you don't know how to be a real person anymore. and when your father dies it is your job to look after your family and protect them even when theyre estranged from you and you are the inheritor of something that you must keep going even if it kills you to do so <3 i think this parallel also works especially well with declan&ronan compared to dick&jason (<- am drafting a post in my mind about this whole topic as i type all this btw)

tysm for sending this in it was v v fun to answer !!!

character ask game

[just-antithings]

ngl it is always so disappointing to me when i see mutuals reblog anti proship stuff. like grow up. characters arent real people. i sorta got myself into a mainly anti occupied space before i knew what the terms anti or proship were or even that my mutuals were antis. it sucks cos we have had fun talking about our mutual fandoms etc but i know they wouldnt hesitate to turn on me if they suspected i was proship even though theyve talked to me enough to know im not "evil". one of them dmed me once after i reblogged something that could have been interpreted as an incestuous ship telling me i would make ppl uncomfortable. what makes it worse is that i in no way suggested it was about a ship or incest so they just felt the need to police me just in case. felt icky knowing there was someone silently studying my blog looking out for anything to harass me over. this person is also prone to coming out with "isnt [insert character] a child tho?" if ppl ship or gush about teenage characters. this is soooooo hypocritical of them personally cos when they were 18 they dated a 15 year old. the mental gymnastics they must perform xD smh.

(please only answer this if its on anon)

yeah that’s really frustrating, I’m sorry

[fefairys]

A) Why are you excited about this character?

jett, I like when you get excited about it so much and it makes me happy when u get happy

omg hehe!!! im excited about SO many things with jett!!!!!! the biggest thing im excited for is a spoiler though so i unfortunately cant really talk about it in detail. but vaguely, i am SOOOOOO excited for the development of it and Psy's friendship :) and also just all of his relationships in general... and seeing more of how its mind operates and stuff like that. he contains so many multitudes like its kind of a hypocrite and its rlly funny and im excited to show that more hehe! im also so excited to draw more of his Outfits bcuz i think he is so cute teehee... omg but im sooooo excited to show how fuuuuucking awkward he can be lol its rlly endearing to me :') OH OH OH AND IM EXCITED TO SHOW IT USING ITS CANE TOO!!! YIPPEE!!!! basically jett makes me so bouncing and happy and excited all of the time :)

[expfcultragreen]

The dalai lama doesnt tell tibetans to prove themselves by self-immolating in the name of a free tibet, he says PLEASE DONT

And one reason why is that he, a wise person, knows it can quickly be used by the opposition to make the colonized seem dangerously militant and capable of anything (if its suicide today, maybe tomorrow its suicide bombing...thats why that security guard had a gun trained on him, concerned he'd run inside and set other people on fire) and thereby sanitize their colonizers as being more civil and deserving of administrative oversight than (eg) the tibetans themslves, who are portrayed as irrational and primitive for being so nationalistic and personally/emotionally invested in their traditional ideology ie with their "religion"; china gets to turn around and say, only deadly cultists do this so this is a cult and we should arrest the dalai lama.......it just becomes a wedge to further destabilize the occupied.

Anyone posting stuff like what cuntmunism said, youre a hypocrite for not following suit (and self-immolating to please the palestinians it would please) if youre wanting to judge anyone openly saying not to. Fuck off, you idiots waste every ounce of energy other leftists devote to you

Serious people who arent in a fully delusional state from an active ongoing genocide against them do not think this is good praxis for palestine, finding it in any way satisfying that he was so painfully desperate, is exceptionally bad optics: ignoring the problem of "callously appearing to lowkey want more people to do the same" (misery loves company, is a pretty antisocial stance) and focusing just on the statement of self-immolation itself, most people think you would have to be crazy to set yourself on fire, so now your position (free palestine) is a crazy persons position, as in, "only crazy people think that" or remotely understand the people who think that (the people who think that being, crazy people who do crazy things "no one" would ever do in their right mind) and maybe the ideology of "free palestine" is actually lethal to engage with! (Which is more true the more of a hero you are to palestinians for setting yourself on fire for them) so if ideas will kill you for thinking them you better NOT think them, is the basic math of the average matrix person

Im aware that to a particular sort of westerner its SOOOOOO BADASS to see this kind of event livestreamed, so it would be of high appeal to take the stance that the people who dont want more to happen are just being racist against palestinians or something

.........But ok youre right, it didnt "achieve nothing" if it indeed warmed the cockles of some exceptionally traumatized people, that he had cared enough to commit suicide for them...btw should suicides become a method of cheering people up? Does it REALLY make sense that it would cheer anyone up, yet-another appallingly untimely death?

Thats a pretty grim thing to find any joy in, someone feeling compelled to prove they mean what theyre saying by dying in front of you as punctuation

I dont think approving of that scenario speaks highly of the moral character of those who approve

If setting yourself on fire worked, it would have worked the first time

People cheering it on are openly asking for more self-immolations

why? Resentment that our other nonsuicidal actions arent working fast enough either, while we get to live outside active bombing range?

"Theres someone who really CARED" yeah, a hero, dead from paradigm. How many more would make you happy, how many would alleviate your angst

No matter how many, it wont work on the people waging the war, so why are you really asking for more

Only the most profound hearts will be compelled to heed this horrific implicit pressure to prove they cared enough to die like a palestinian, and who will be left to advocate then? People who dont really care, presumably (actually necessarily, by this metric)

As with any large demographic, ive seen palestinians do a lot of things, not every one of those things was laudable or motivated by a strongly ethical grip on reality, so "cheering on people committing grisly suicide in their honor" doesnt stand out as automatically awesome just because exceptionally oppressed people are doing it

But go off, talk hard.....sure, whatever, tell the most compassionate people among us that the most compassionate thing they can do is kill themselves, very "cool"

[steelycunt]

love the way you talk about Sirius we feel the same way about him. As in I will tear into him for being a fucking jackass and a total screw up but if someone who genuinely dislikes him said the exact same thing I would loose my mind. He’s a cunt and he doesn’t deserve Remus but also he’s kind of the greatest thing to walk the earth and he’s out of Remus’ league and I never wanna see another bad thing happen to him again. I rebuke any Sirius who doesn’t worship the ground Remus walks on that simply doesn’t exist to me genuinely I think he’s at his most likeable when he’s being good to Remus (and Harry but idc for him much the principle stands tho) mostly cause he’s been a source of pain to them both but also they needed him in their life I think a Sirius who understands this and wants more then anything to be better for them is the best character in the book. (also there’s thing Thing with kreacher but that’s another can of worms) anyway sirius feels like a massive hypocrite - one who desperately wants to be good but is kinda bad at it and sometimes you wonder if he’s even trying anymore and it’s insanely annoying and also incredibly interesting. its why Sirius written by fans >> anything jkr writes. she doesn’t have the range ..

yes absolutely absolutely! i actually think his cuntish tendencies are sooo great and i feel like its such a disservice to his character when he's too ironed out. he can fuck up that is Ok. in fact if anything i really like depictions of him where he is actively trying--because it is something he has to Actively Try at--to get his act together a little bit i love it when he is actively trying to be better for remus i sooo agree w/ u about him being at his most likeable there (also ur right about that going for harry too but i agree i dont care about him either lol). he's so much more interesting that way...there are times when he has the capacity to be sooo very good and gentle and selfless as though it's nothing and then also times where he's abruptly immature and cruel and volatile those qualities can coexist the latter does not negate the former. he's soooooo. i'm mean about him constantly i know but i don't intend for that to seem dismissive. i think he fucking Sucks but im invested in him for that reason...and as you say i feel like his character has been far better executed in fan works than any canon content. she had no idea what she was talking about.

[yonkimint]

Its true, the fact that baby jung never actually said anything to tae about her feelings is kind of a big deal imo. Like i never really understood the whole concept of 'ppl should know how you feel thru your actions alone' without so much as an establishing conversation. Thats just bad communication. As somebody studying psychology, she really should know that even if the others dont.

Like yea hes being obtuse, perhaps even willfully so, but i dont think hes been stringing her along. The mans never said ily to her even in a friend way ffs!! Like were i in her position i wouldnt even be mad or hurt. Maybe sad but nothing directed at him actually. He was being annoying and something of a bad friend (in the some do when they get a new SO) but i dont think he really did anything super wrong until he got all hypocritical about bogum.

i would like to reiterate my very firm team baby jung stance but also one of the things i personally think makes me a good friend is that i'll tell you when youre wrong. Like im on your side in front of others but when its just us ima read you for filth. i think she could use a dose of that maybe. They both do.

Aaaanyway. Hobi has been posting and he looks like hes having a blast so i hope youre having 10 times as much fun. Stay safe and dont forget your sun cream and hydration!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Yes! and I want the record to show that y/n has told the boys several times that Tae can't be at fault for what she never told him. She knows this and so, while she is sad and pretty disappointed, she was fully prepared to move on from this situation and let Tae have his happiness. Tae's current jealousy is another story completely so we'll see how that thread unravels as the story goes on!

And yes, Hobi literally put on the performance of a lifetime! I think I about lost my mind when Baseline came on, I've never dropped it so hard in my life!!!! Soooooo proud of that man! He was a legend before but Hobipalooza just confirmed it! 🙌

[animalinvestigator]

I think I said this in the notes once lol but I love Radical Face and Electric President so much!! I’ve never seen anyone else who has listened to any!! Do you have favorite songs?

yes, i love ben coopers work so much! n_n i have so many favorites it would be hard to list.. i think my favorite album of his is electric president s/t , every song on there has become extremely special to me even though ive only known it for a short time (favorites are definitely good morning hypocrite some crap about the future and farewell though) , but i also really like a lot of the songs off of the violent blue (espescially circles and mr. gone) my favorite radical face album is sooo hard to pick because i honestly think all of the family tree albums couldnt really be ranked, they're all so remarkable and special i ntheir own ways.. i feel like the roots is most iconic but the branches probably has the most hard hittign shti on it so its a tie up with those two for me, but of course i love the leaves and the bastards soooooo much too. (nightclothes is one of my favorite songs ever) in terms of favorite radical face songs a couple of mine are secrets cellar door rivers in the dust family portrait black eyes severus and stone always gold bad blood holy branches the mute and from the mouth of an injured head....I like basically all of htem so much.

i also really love the little singles he's been doing lately : ) im so excited to see waht his next project is

[ariyadaivaris]

- christ i hate smug mma dudes more than anything on this earth. you're a man doing mma what do you have to be excited about? washing out of ufc and having to resort to a dying professional wrestling company? the systematic oppression of women? the paul brothers? i'm putting nails in your shoes

- the rare and coveted tshirt ariya. phwew he's really uh. he's very. twirls hair. he's kinda

- ariya using a rose metaphor for himself teehee i love being very smart and always right about everything

- "i guess you don't think tony can do it on his own aye" is soooooo so so far from anything that has ever happened between tony and ariya that it's LAUGHABLE. ariya deserves to laugh in his face. cringe and fail broadway-musical-rock-of-ages-male-lead-understudy looking little man. no i'm gonna argue with the kayfabe enemy actually the WHOLE THING up to this point has been ariya trying to prove himself and the subtle tension of tony becoming champion where ariya never has, the only the ONLY time ariya has ever not believed in tony is when he had a full on spiral breakdown towards the beginning of the year when they were questioning splitting them up again for some fucking reason and then it got retconned because DUHHHHHH why would you ever split tony and ariya up just for fun or a giggle when they;ve got the most complex relationship on 205 if you re*you walk away knowing all of this already because you have heard this every week for the last three years but you can still hear me talking in the distance, talking and talking though no one is there...*

- obsessed with this promo actually...ariya's mannerisms are so good he's SO...FUN. i LOVE watching him. he is so self-assured and so charming and there is so obviously so much frustration buried like, an INCH deep beneath all of it. it takes grey pushing him ONCE for him to lose his verve. im SO interested in this

- the thread here is, of course, "you think tony can't do it on his own?" which, as i've stated, is so far from true or what ariya thinks that it's comic. when ariya spits, "of COURSE tony nese can do it on his own", there are a lot of factors at play. when he concedes that maybe instead of going out there, he WILL stay backstage, there's a lot going on there!!! there IS!!! *voice of an unwell person* there IS a lot going on   - tony doesn't need to prove he can do it on his own, because he already has. ariya's storyline...like i mentioned, he had a weird moment at the beginning of the year, when it seemed like maybe he and tony were going to be split up. that was very much a moment of "okay the writing might change so it's time to set something up" of course but i think it's interesting to think about as a character impulse.   ariya is working to prove he can do things on his own. this has BEEN his thing. he and tony are a team again, but ariya's tried to win with other teams and he's tried to win alone, and though he's successful more often than 205 would have you believe, he's still very shaky. tony has been allowed to work outside of the orbit of other people, and ariya hasn't gotten that chance as much. and, besides that, tony doesn't CARE about it in the same way ariya does. tony...when he gets intense, it's about interpersonal stuff. drew, buddy, cedric, akira, swerve. tony competes with people! ariya competes with himself. does that make sense. i know what i mean. its fine   ariya...is on edge. he likes tony and he likes working with tony, but he hasn't been a competitor like tony is. tony's been very accomodating, stepping back or supporting ariya's feuds and allowing him to do What He Needs To Do, which means ariya can try to work alone without going completely rogue and sabotaging shit. when he tried to cut himself off from tony, it was...well it was retconned. but. that's what he's done before and this time it didn't work because ONE it's just tony and ariya, there's no exacerbating force, and TWO, tony and ariya are, after all, friends. tony wants to be friends with ariya and it is hard work to be friends with ariya but he will do it. so they work it out. and ariya is left feeling very very weird about it, and very very aware of how much he kind of depends on tony, when tony doesn't depend on him, at all. ariya tries to protect tony and gas him up and keep an eye on him to make up for All That He's Done Before and to feel like this friendship is two-sided (which it is, of course, friendship is more than a strategic advantage but that's how ariya's always approached it and it's a hard habit to break), but he doesn't have the wins to back up the feeling of being Worth It as a friend.   it's...i feel like i just sound out of my gourd saying all of this lol and i am. but when ariya bitterly says, "of course tony nese can do it on his own." it's not just the anger at grey being a dickhead towards tony. it's also ariya being painfully aware that tony can do it without ariya's help. there's a threat in that statement, that question that doesn't need to be asked. there's an irony to it. its...think about it this way: if tony was talking to grey about watching ariya's match, grey wouldn't snark about if tony thought ariya could do it. you know?

- that doesnt make sense. whatever <3 im free

- wow love seeing kushida defending the title. imagine if that happened.....on.......205 live

- ariya literally getting successfully talked out of watching tony's match because he wants to show he believes in tony :( i'm hurt...i'm so hurt. so fucked up and twisted. by GREY too, ariya has kind of a BIT with grey huh. him cheating to pin ariya and then going noooo cheating is wrong against all other opponents. the way grey is super hypocritical and shitty to him and then to no one else. ariya almost respecting him for what ariya understands as Someone Who Gets It and then revealing oh no i just really don't like you and want to piss you off. this one dude who keeps targetting ariya specifically in all the ways that most drive ariya into a frenzy and he managed to hit him where it hurts the most enough to drive him into hiding. oughhhh aughhhh   - everyone on 205 being a hater for no reason and seeing ariya trying to deal with his Issues(TM): hm. i can make him worse

- SUNFLOWER JACKET!!!!!!!! SUNFLOWER JIRO. PRECIOUS AND BELOVED. KING AMONG ALL CRUISERWEIGHTS. I DONT KNOW WHO ARIYA IS

- the exaggerated "BOO!""YAY!" cheers for jiro. who am i to say he doesn't deserve them. he DOES. we LOVE jiro. jiro is allowed to homewreck gold standard if he wants to i'll pretend not to see

- UNBREAKABLE!! AUGHHH HE'S SO COOL AND FUN AND HIS MIND IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. jiro has such a fucking bonkers sense of like...dragging a move out. that man can MAKE a sequence! he gets the upper hand and he holds onto it for ages and the entire time its never dull. always with the momentum! always with the visualization of everything around him and how to make it into a show. i just simply think that jiro kuroshio

- HE'S DYINGGGGGGG NOOOOOOOO JIRO. TONY NESE YOU'RE A DEAD MAN. he looks great at this angle though love you weirdo. oh NO your jacket is NOT cool enough to pull this off fkshsdskd  - jiro injecting some MUCH needed humor back into 205 thank you so much

- tony's stupid joth uniform next to jiro's sunflower pattern is SO good. fuckin goth v prep diagram dynamic. creamsicle blogging moments
