Hear me out...
Poly relationship with Camellia Cookie and Golden Osmanthus Cookie with Y/N Cookie.
(The ship already grew on me as it was implied as the game progresses. Had a feeling that they might fight over Y/N Cookie.)
Not necessarily fight each other, but I could see them wanting to include you in their little circle. You could try to slow your pace and lag behind to give the two their moment, only for Golden Osmanthus Cookie to notice you distancing away.
âââââââââââââââââââââââ
âHm? Y/N Cookie, weâre sorry if we had left you out! You can join me and Camellia Cookie on the way back to the perfumery.â
No no, you were just going to head back to the inn and turn in for the night. Those two can go on without you-
âIs the inn not along the way to the perfumery? That lines up perfectly with our route.â
Oh right, you forgot! Well..you canât exactly deny them at this rate!
Next thing you knew, the two were walking with you, Golden to your left and Camellia to your right. You were looking down at the ground as the two conversed with each other, part of you feeling like the awkward third wheel to this.
âSo from what Iâve heard, you provided Golden Osmanthus Cookie hospitality despite meeting her in short time.â
Hm? O-Oh! Right, she came in by airship looking for a special fragrance to deal with her Cookievorous Plant problem. I wanted to make sure she had her own space to handle what she needed to do, so a Cookie House was built for her.â
âIâm still surprised you were willing to do that for me!â
âMe and my cookies aim to make everyone feel happy and right at home, even to new faces at the kingdom.â
âYou even helped me make the Cookie House feel like home by setting it up, Iâm still grateful for that, Y/N Cookie.â
âJust doing what I can to make sure youâre perfectly okay with where you were staying. It was the least I could do for a guest.â
âI can see Golden Osmanthus Cookieâs story was not off the mark with you, Y/N Cookie. Having just met her and yet you did all of that, youâre as kindhearted as she says.â
âI wouldnât dwell on that so much, you know. Any ruler wouldâve done the same for new guests.â
âHa ha, donât downplay yourself. It only reaffirms my beliefs about you when I first saw your eyes.â
âIâm really thankful for what youâve done for me back in your kingdom. I donât know how I could ever thank you for your hospitalityâŠâ
Were they getting closer to your sides? You feel like they were getting closer to your sides!
âO-Oh look, the inn is coming up here. I should head inside and turn in for the night..â
âOhâŠ.â
âWhat?! Weâve already arrived?â
âHey, itâs okay. We can meet each other tomorrow, right? Iâm not going anywhereâŠâ
âYouâre right, we have tomorrow to go over things about the Divine Guardian. Iâll..see you tomorrow, Y/N Cookie.â
âYes, Y/N Cookie. I hope to see you tomorrow too.â
âIâll see you both tomorrow.â
You head inside the inn and into your room, laying on your bed as you take a breath, calming down your heart.
You swear those two were going to be the end of you with how close they were!

HELLOOOO, i was wondering:
A reader that likes watch anime, and some HSR characters gives them a try. But, what anime would you think they watch with the reader? Based on what they like or just something to start watching.
I LOVE YOUR WRITING STYLE, please don't overwork yourself a lot, have a nice day/night! <3
What Anime Would They Watch With You?
Tags: Aventurine x Reader, Ratio x Reader, Blade x Reader, Kafka x Reader, Silver Wolf x Reader, Anime Watching, Humor, Lighthearted moments, Comfort and Bonding, Can be read Platonically or Romantically.
Warnings: Mentions of psychological trauma, Light spoilers for anime, Philosophical and existential themes, Violence and combat (in anime contexts), Emotional conflict, Mild language (?), Possible mild angst(?).
A/N: I donât watch much anime, but my sister does, so I based the anime choices on what sheâs watched and told me about, as well as clips Iâve seen on yt shorts đ«Łđ ALSO THANK YOU!! đ€đ I'LL TRY MY BEST HEHE
Aventurine stands in front of the TV, his eyes glinting with curiosity. His usual confidence is slightly tempered by the unfamiliarity of the moment â an evening of anime watching. Heâs dressed in his usual stylish attire, the gold accents catching the light as he adjusts the remote with his gloved fingers. His gaze flickers to you, a mischievous smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"So," he begins, voice smooth like a well-played hand in poker, "what do we watch tonight? I suppose I should try something new. But, I must admit, I prefer shows with a bit of strategy â something that makes you think, perhaps a game of intellect or manipulation."
You suggest Death Note, the classic tale of the battle between genius minds.
Aventurineâs smile widens. âAh, an excellent choice. A battle of wits, a contest of who can outsmart whom. Much like life itself. I must say, the intrigue here appeals to me. The protagonist, Light Yagami, reminds me of someone who knows how to play the game... and win.â
As the opening credits roll, Aventurine lounges back, his eyes gleaming with the same focus he applies to his work at IPC. The intricate web of psychological tension between Light and L unfolds in a way that mirrors his own thinking â everything calculated, every move deliberate. The darker twists intrigue him, and he often leans over to comment on Lightâs strategy, or offer his own hypothetical alternatives. Every so often, heâll pause to explain a parallel to a strategic investment move, his voice laced with a playfulness only you can appreciate.
The night is filled with insightful discussions, his enjoyment of the show evident not just in his words but in the way his eyes spark with intellectual thrill.
Ratio enters your living room, dressed in his usual academic attire, though he seems slightly more relaxed than usual. His hair is perfectly in place, and he adjusts his glasses, his piercing eyes scanning the shelves. Heâs intrigued by the idea of anime, but like everything else, he believes it must meet the highest intellectual standards.
"I assume this will be a pursuit of knowledge, correct?" he asks, his tone indicating that he is less concerned with entertainment and more with what the anime can teach him.
You offer him Steins;Gate, a mind-bending tale of time travel and its implications. Ratio raises an eyebrow, his interest piqued.
"Time travel," he mutters. "The concept is fraught with paradoxes, theoretical inconsistencies... But let's see how this unfolds."
As the show progresses, you can tell Ratio is captivated. His usual dismissiveness towards âmediocreâ content fades as he engages with the intricacies of the plot. He is particularly drawn to the scientific explanations of time travel, making insightful comments about the laws of causality. The intellectual depth of Steins;Gate resonates with him, and he begins to see the show as more than just entertainment but as an exploration of the human condition through the lens of scientific theory.
His stern exterior softens slightly as he leans forward, absorbed by the delicate unraveling of fate. At one point, he pauses the show to make an impassioned argument about the ethics of time travel, his eyes alight with the thrill of the debate.
Feixiao, in her usual battle-ready attire, steps into your space with her arms crossed, her eyes narrowing slightly in skepticism. Sheâs not one for frivolous distractions, but sheâs willing to give this anime thing a try â provided itâs something that involves action, strategy, and perhaps a little bit of inner conflict.
"Youâd better not have picked something weak," she says with a smirk, her voice unwavering. "I don't have time for anything that isn't worthy of my attention."
You suggest Attack on Titan, with its intense battles and deep emotional conflicts. Feixiao grunts in approval.
"Alright, letâs see if they can deliver on the carnage." she says, as the opening scene plays out.
Sheâs immediately absorbed by the ferocity of the Titans and the desperation of humanityâs fight for survival. The battles, filled with adrenaline and relentless pursuit, mirror the kinds of conflicts she knows too well. Sheâs particularly drawn to Eren Yeagerâs inner struggles â the deep rage that simmers beneath his resolve.
"Thatâs what I like to see," Feixiao mutters under her breath, her eyes flashing with approval as the protagonists fight with everything they have. "Thereâs more to these battles than just the physical; thereâs emotion, too. A warriorâs mind is as sharp as their blade."
Throughout the night, she becomes invested in the character dynamics, especially Erenâs moral dilemmas. The show's dark tone and brutal honesty about the human condition resonate with her, and she even offers some commentary on the combat strategies used by the soldiers.
By the end of the night, sheâs hooked, her face flushed with the excitement of both the action and the emotional weight of the series.
Blade steps into the room, his eyes burning with a quiet intensity, his demeanor as cold as the blade he wields. His mind constantly in turmoil, heâs not interested in frivolous entertainment. Everything he watches must speak to the darker aspects of his soul, and anything too light-hearted will not hold his attention.
You offer Neon Genesis Evangelion, a psychological and emotional rollercoaster that digs into the deep recesses of human existence. Bladeâs expression is unreadable as he nods and sits, his eyes steely.
The first few episodes grip him, and soon he is fixated on Shinji Ikariâs inner torment â the crippling isolation, the struggle to find meaning in a world that seems bent on destruction. Blade sees pieces of himself in Shinji, his own existential struggle reflected on screen. He finds an unexpected resonance with the show's depiction of personal battles and the search for purpose in and the search for purpose in an uncaring world.
As the show delves into its more abstract and psychological themes, Bladeâs face hardens in contemplation. He doesnât speak much, but his occasional glances at you tell you everything you need to know â Neon Genesis Evangelion is more than just an anime to him; itâs a mirror to his own fractured soul.
By the end of the night, Blade is silent, lost in thought, the weight of the show's philosophical questions lingering in his mind.
Kafka strolls into the room with her usual cool confidence, adjusting her black jacket over her shoulders. Her hair sways slightly as she surveys the situation. While she doesnât often indulge in entertainment, sheâs intrigued by your suggestion to watch anime together. After all, thereâs something elegant about the concept of using subtlety and manipulation to achieve one's ends, and Kafka is drawn to that kind of intrigue.
You offer Code Geass, a series filled with strategic battles, hidden motives, and complex characters. Kafka smirks, her interest piqued.
"This might be interesting. Letâs see if it lives up to the hype." she says, her voice smooth and measured.
As the episodes unfold, Kafka finds herself charmed by Lelouch vi Britanniaâs calculating nature and his ability to manipulate others for his own purposes. Sheâs drawn to the layers of deception, the way Lelouch maneuvers through the world with his intelligence and charisma, much like herself.
"Ah, this is the kind of show I can appreciate," Kafka remarks, glancing at you with a knowing smile. "Power lies not in brute strength, but in the subtleties of the mind. Lelouch truly knows how to play the game."
By the end of the night, Kafka is hooked, her mind racing with the complex political strategies and moral questions the show raises. Her admiration for Lelouchâs ability to control events through sheer willpower is clear.
Silver Wolf lounges in her seat, her purple glasses perched on the bridge of her nose. Sheâs always up for a challenge, and if anime is as much of a game as you say, then sheâs ready to dive in. Sheâs looking for something thatâs both fast-paced and unpredictable, a true test of her adaptability.
You suggest Psycho-Pass, a futuristic series that blends action with deep psychological exploration and questions about the nature of justice. Silver Wolfâs eyes light up as the opening credits roll.
"Alright, this looks fun," she remarks, her fingers tapping on her leg like sheâs already hacking her way through the plot. "A system that reads people's intentions? Sounds like a game I could win."
As the series progresses, Silver Wolf becomes engrossed in the moral and psychological dilemmas the characters face. Sheâs particularly drawn to the futuristic technology, intrigued by the interplay between the systems that control society and the human minds that try to outwit them.
"I could hack my way through this world in no time." she chuckles to herself, but sheâs also genuinely captivated by the philosophical questions raised. What is justice? Who decides what is right or wrong?
By the end of the night, Silver Wolf is already planning her next anime binge, eager to see what other âgamesâ the world of anime has to offer.

Little Blobs
Hey everyone!! I bring you a new chapter of Little Blobs on this fine Wednesday. From here on, I intend to follow a more logical timeline lol and we'll get to see how Buck's pregnancy progresses from the very start. I hope you enjoy it <3
âWhat's got you pouting so early in the morning, Buckaroo?"Â
Henâs voice, paired with the smell of fresh coffee, manages to snap Buck out of his mind. He accepts the mug sheâs placing in front of him automatically, but he didnât drink it; heâs too nauseous. Or too guilty. Or both.Â
You see, thereâs a reason why everybody calls Buck a human golden retriever. It was usually so rare for him to be in a mood, but lately... Heâs so often tired, and so often nauseous, that itâs been hard to keep his spirits up. Like that morning with Tommy.
Even though theyâve been together for eighteen months, it was a rare occurrence for their shifts to align so perfectly that they could get ready for work together in the morning. Usually, those moments would make Buck giddy with the domesticity of it all. Not today, apparently.
From the minute he woke up, Buck had just been off, feeling tired and nauseous and out of sorts. And for no reason at all, he simply snapped at Tommy for the leftover fruit he had left in the blender (which, sure, could be a little annoying, but not *that* annoying). Buck knew right away that his "Damn, Tommy, how hard is it to keep things clean?! It's like living in a frat house again!" had been uncalled for.Â
Tommy had looked at him in surprise, muttered a "Sorry, Evan" and turned his back to Buck, apparently laser-focused on washing the blender. Buck knew right then that he should apologize, but he was still too pissy to do it, and their goodbyes had been frosty when they left for their respective stations.
And that's how Hen finds him, staring at the void and wondering if he should text Tommy and let him know how sorry he is or wait to do it in person once their 48-hour shifts are over.
Before Buck knows it, heâs spilling out to Hen, kind of expecting her to call him out for being an idiot to his husband, but instead, Hen hums thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I can't help but notice you *have* been moody lately, Buck. Far too moody for a newlywed, if you ask me" She teases lightly, and Buck gives her a half-hearted smile.
"I promise you, Tommyâs not the problemâ He reassures her. âHeâs not even complaining about my bitchiness and the fact I have slept on top of him every single time we've sat to watch a movie together for the last three weeks"
"Wait, you?!" Hen asks, her eyebrows going up. "Evan 'ball of energy' Buckley..."
"Buckley-Kinard" He corrects eagerly, his smile widening despite himself at that.
"My bad" Hen chuckles. "Evan 'ball of energy' Buckley-Kinard, falling asleep during movie nights? Arenât you the one whoâs usually researching fun facts and talking a mile a minute, instead of letting people actually listen to whatâs going on?"
"Yeah!" Buck agrees, nodding enthusiastically, not even a little self-conscious; Tommy says his ramblings are cute. "But lately, I don't know, I... I thought maybe I was tired from wedding planning, but itâs been a month since we got married. I donât know whatâs going on, Hen"
"Hey, you two!" Bobby's voice interrupts whatever it is Hen planned to say. âBreakfast is about ready, wanna join the rest of us?â
And Buck intends to, truly he does. But the minute he approaches the kitchen and the smell of Bobbyâs frittata reaches his nose, he canât. The nausea that bubbles up in his stomach is too strong to ignore, and he finds himself rushing to the bathroom.
By the time he comes back, Bobby is waiting for him with worried eyes and a glass of ice cold water, that Buck gratefully sips slowly.Â
âAlright there, Buck?â He asks, and Buck nods sheepishly, not liking the way everyoneâs looking at him as if heâd keel at any moment.Â
âFine, Cap. Sorry about that. Think I caught a stomach bug or somethingâ He mutters, still sipping his water, and Hen looks as if sheâs about to add something when the bell rings.Â
They donât get a chance to sit down and talk again, not in private anyway, but Buck feels Henâs gaze landing upon him all through their 48-hour shift. Itâs especially sharp when he falls asleep in the middle of the afternoon and when he barely touches Bobbyâs meatloaf at dinner.
Itâs a look that Hen has when she feels someoneâs being particularly dense, and Buckâs not completely sure what heâs done to deserve it this time, other than being overly snappy and tired. By the time their shift is over, heâs more than ready to go home, wait for Tommy (he had sent an apology text that morning after all, and Tommyâs easy forgiveness had almost made him cry. And just about half an hour ago, Tommy texted that he was caught on a call and would probably be late, which almost made him cry again) and sleep for the next 12 hours.
Before he can leave, though, Henâs voice calls from inside the station.
âBuck, wait!â She says, approaching him with a small paper bag in her hands.Â
âWhatâs that you got there, Hen? Donât tell me youâve gotten me a presentâ He teases her, and Hen looks uncertain.
âWellâ She says carefully. âIt all depends on how youâll see things. And maybe Iâm wrong anyway, but. I think you should take theseâÂ
She hands him the bag, and Buck opens it up to see three different brands of pregnancy tests inside. He widens his eyes, looking from the bag to Hen, and sheâs looking expectantly at him.
âHen, you donât think IâmâŠâ Buck canât even say it; the possibility had never crossed his mind, and yet⊠It feels like his brain is short-circuiting as he revisits his latest symptoms in his mind.Â
âWell, why not? You are a carrier, arenât you? You told me that when you were debating if you could be a surrogate to your friendsâ She says, and Buck nods dumbly. âAnd, well, I know you and Tommy get⊠busy with each other very often.â
âWeâŠWell, yeah, but I take birth controlâ Buck says, frantically recalling the last few weeks in his mind and wondering if he couldâve forgotten to take the pill at some point. And then it dawns on him how frantic their wedding day had been, and yeah, he doesnât remember taking it on that day. Or the day after. Or during their weekend honeymoon in San Diego (they had been⊠busy, as Hen would put it). âOh, fuck, Hen, what if Iâm pregnant?! I canât be pregnant right now, itâs not the plan!â
âBuckaroo, I donât know what the plan is, but life doesnât tend to care for it. Maybe youâre not; Iâm just saying itâs a possibility and you should check itâ Hen says placatingly. âIf itâs positive, you and Tommy will figure it out; if itâs negative, you owe me 30 bucks for the testsâ
âThereâs only one of meâ He jokes automatically, but his mind is nowhere near it. âT-thanks anyway, Hen. I⊠Iâll take those as soon as Iâm homeâ Before Tommy arrives, he decides; thereâs no reason to get his husband worked up over nothing if theyâre negative. And if theyâre positive, Buck has some time to decide on how to tell him.
âYouâre welcome, Buckaroo. When you have the results and are ready to share, let me know, ok? Good luck!â
Sheâs gone before Buck can ask if good luck means positive or negative. Heâs not sure he knows what he wishes for right now.
Tommy turns off the engine in his truck, content to see Evanâs Jeep already in the garage. Content but not surprised, considering he got caught up in a search and rescue and is two hours late. He has a strong suspicion his husbandâs been catching up on some sleep during those hours, because he hasnât answered Tommyâs text asking what he wanted for dinner; he had gone with pizza as a safe bet, though Evanâs appetite had been all over the place lately. Tommy knows that the younger man can be stubborn about his health, but he will drag him to a doctor if he isnât better by the weekend.
He tries to enter home without making much noise, putting the pizzas on the kitchen table. Evanâs not at the kitchen or living room, and the house is completely silent. Tommy makes his way to their bedroom, ready to gently wake Evan up so he can get some food in him before they go to bed for the night; they probably wonât get up to anything fun tonight, both of them exhausted from their shifts, but if Tommy has anything to say about it, theyâll spend the next 24 hours in their bed making up for it.Â
But when he gets to their bedroom, heâs surprised by an empty and still made bed, and no husband in sight. Tommy frowns, starting to worry.Â
âEvan?!â He calls.Â
âIâm in hereâŠâ Evan answers, his voice coming from the en-suite bathroom that Tommy hadnât even noticed was with the door ajar. Something in Evanâs voice makes Tommy rush to it, and he opens the door to find his husband sitting on the floor; he looks up at him with dazed eyes, his fist tightly clutched around something Tommy canât see.Â
âBabe, are you okay?! Was it your stomach again?â Tommy asks, kneeling down by his side and automatically raising his hand to feel Evanâs forehead; itâs not hot, and when he gently takes Tommyâs hand in his free one, Tommy sees itâs cold and sweaty. To his horror, he can also see tears pooling up in Evanâs eyes. âDid something happen, Evan?â
Evan laughs somewhat hysterically at that, which doesnât help with Tommyâs nerves at all. Then he nods, caressing Tommyâs hand with his thumb, making gentle circles.
âY-yeah, something happened. I⊠I figured out why I snapped at you the other dayâ He says, his voice thick, and Tommy lets out a sigh of relief.Â
âSweetheart, I canât believe youâre still thinking about that. It was nothing, I already said IâŠâ He doesnât get to finish the sentence, though, because Evan is opening Tommyâs hand and pressing the three plastic sticks that he was so tightly holding against it.Â
Tommy looks down at them with a frown, and his heart skips a beat when he realizes what they are: pregnancy tests. Two of them show two lines and, even if Tommy didnât know what that means (he does; he absolutely does), the third one is a fancy digital kind that has the word in bold letters: PREGNANT.Â
He looks from the tests to Evan, his mouth agape, and his husbandâs looking back at him with expectant blue eyes and the tiniest hint of a frown between his eyebrows.Â
âI⊠On the wedding frenzy I guess I forgot to take my pillâ He says, and he takes Tommyâs stunned silence as a cue to continue. âI⊠I know itâs not the plan, I know we said weâd wait at least a year before kids, IâŠâ
Tommy canât take it anymore; in a move that has become signature by now, he grabs his chin and presses a gentle soft kiss against his mouth. When the kiss is done, Evan is the one left agape, while Tommy canât stop a smile from widening across his face.Â
âFuck the plan, Evan. Are you happy?â He asks earnestly; Tommy knows he is, and the more it dawns on him, the happier he gets. But itâs Evanâs body and Tommy knows heâs much more of a planner than himself, so heâll rein in the excitement if Evan needs to process this differently.Â
But to his relief, Evan gives him that adorable crooked smile, looking down at the tests Tommyâs holding, and then at his own belly, then back at Tommy with eyes full of joy.Â
âYeah, Iâm happy. Iâm fucking thrilled, Tommy. Weâre having a baby!â He says, as itâs just dawning on him, and hearing him say it out loud makes it dawn on Tommy too.Â
They smile at each other like two idiots, and before Tommy knows it, heâs helping Evan up and pulling him in a tight hug, pressing a soft kiss to his temple. He lets out a delighted laugh, feeling happier than heâs ever felt before, except maybe for their wedding day.Â
âWeâre having a baby, oh my God, thatâs incredible. Youâre incredibleâ He says, resting his chin on Evanâs shoulder, and then with a dawning sense of realization, he steps back, looking at him worriedly. âOh my God, are you okay?! Is the baby okay? Can you tell if theyâre okay?! Damn we need to schedule a doctorâs appointment, and probably start thinking about a nursery, and you have to talk to Bobby andâŠâ
âBabeâ Evan interrupts him, sounding way too amused (Tommyâs not often the one to freak out between the two) as he puts both his hand in Tommyâs face, effectively shutting him up. âIâm sure the babyâs fine. Iâll talk to Bobby on my next shift, and we can figure out everything else tomorrow. Okay?â
âYeah. Yeah, youâre making senseâ Tommy easily agrees, nodding and looking at Evan with a scrutinizing gaze. âAre you okay, though, Evan? What do you need?â
âIâm fine, Tommyâ He says, his voice sounding between exasperated and amused, but Tommy doesnât care if heâs being overbearing. Evan is the most precious person in the world to him, and now heâs carrying the other most precious person in the world to him. Tommy will do anything for him. âWhat I need is food. Iâm finally not feeling nauseous and I wanna take advantage of it while it lasts. Please tell me you brought dinner?â
âYou didnât answer me, so I brought pizza. But if you want anything else, anything else, Iâll go and get it in fifteen minutes max. Just name it, babeâ Tommy offers, and Evan smiles bashfully, pressing a kiss to his cheek.Â
âPizza is more than fine, but I might make use of this generosity at some point in the next nine monthsâ He says, and Tommy knows itâs meant like a tease, but if anything, it sounds like a promise.
âAnytime you wantâ He says, and then his hand goes straight to Evanâs still flat belly. He canât see or feel anything, but knowing their little one is there is enough to fill his heart for now. âFor you two, anything, anytimeâ
âHeyâ Evan says, putting his own hand on top of Tommyâs, his smile bright enough to outshine the Sun itself. âI love youâ
âI love you too, Evanâ
â
A smile spreads across her face, and she sends back a congrats, daddies!! before deleting both messages. Karen has full access to her phone and her to Karenâs, and she knows her wife canât keep a secret for her life, so she wonât take any chances. But God is she happy for those two.Â
When Henâs cellphone dings, sheâs about to go to bed; after coming home from their 48-hour shift, she had helped Karen with the kidsâ nightly routine and the two of them had spent some time together watching TV and drinking wine after tucking them in. Now sheâs pleasantly sleepy and ready to enjoy a good night of sleep and then three whole blessed days off.
And yet, her conversation with Buck has been on the back of her mind all day. When Hen sees the message she got is from him, itâs with eager hands that she unlocks her phone and opens their thread. Thereâs only two emojis and five words looking back at her: đ¶đ»đđ» but donât tell anyone yet!
One thing Hen knows: theyâre going to be wonderful fathers.Â

Hot Take: Check Please doesnât deconstruct toxic masculinity in hockey, it applauds it.
Zimbits as MLM Comphet
Bitty perfectly slots into traditional housewife role, with enough âboys can be feminineâ + âcontempt for women / women can only exist in this ethereal heavenly state of godhood (see: BeyoncĂ©)â flavor that Iâm convinced we have a case of fujoshi self-insert genderflip on our hands.
The whole premise of âhockey player likes bakingâ is consistently played for laughs. People liking Bittyâs baking, a trait the comic frames as feminine, is portrayed as a humbling and emasculating experience, and a constant punchline throughout all four years.
Women in Check Please can only exist if theyâre âone of the guysâ
Lardo is called by a derogatory (and frankly racist) nickname and is the bossy team manager who is framed as being cool only by virtue of being masc. From the moment sheâs introduced, her whole thing is that she is âthe manliest bro â who happens to be a womanâ.
Foxtrot proves her character worth the moment she demonstrates that she can yell loudly and run a tight ship and be dominant with the guys. And thatâs kind of it.
George has a masc nickname, and thatâs her character.
Even so, all major women characters only ever appear in subservient roles to men, never being equals. All of them are PoC, too, which is an even worse look.
Women in Check Please can only exist if theyâre not like other girls or effeminate gay men.
Bitty is also not like other girls
Bitty is consistently portrayed as inherently unique and special by the lone virtue of being queer, despite being at a school where supposedly one in four students is queer. Outside of Bitty and three âtwistâ queer characters, everyone is neatly heteronormative (even characters like Lardo, who are afforded no femininity in their personality, are paired up neatly into a cis-hetero couple).
In Year 4, we briefly see Bitty argue with the other varsity captains over who has the gayest team. This too, is never elaborated on, conserving Bittyâs status as being unique as a queer person at Samwell.
What follows then is a facade of a queer narrative, in which the cisheteronormativity of the setting can comfortably continue to exist without being disturbed by the presence of queer characters. What it pretends to do is infuse the narrative with queerness; what it really does is dress up a cisheteronormative narrative in pride colors and call it progressive.
Trans people donât exist
Despite being at a school where supposedly one in four students is queer.
Thatâs it, thatâs my point.
The closest you get to any transness is how the above-mentioned female characters can only persist in the narrative by adapting to the menâs behavior, something they are applauded for, for not being appalled by.
Jackâs abuse gets brushed over
The moment he shows softness towards Bitty, all of Year 1 is forgiven and forgotten.
Dude yelled at the main character and made him wanna quit hockey, when Parse comes to Samwell, Shitty points out that even compared to his âusual bitchinessâ (which Shitty also excuses, btw) the way Jack treated Parse scared him. This is later both retconned and justified by the narrative (see 4.19).
Kent Parson Canât Have Feelings
He can only exist in the story to be an obstacle to Jack, any and all of his raw outbursts are framed as him being petty and bratty. Any deeper sensitivities he might have are framed as weaknesses (being closeted in the NHL, still having feelings for Jack).
His âredemptionâ consists of Bitty one-upping him. When he comes to Samwell to talk to Bitty, he is only there to be humbled for what he did wrong (having complex emotions he wasnât able to express calmly). Bitty is portrayed as the hero for emasculating him (making him like his pie) and that humbles him into submission.
Whiskeyâs closet story
Both Jack and Whiskey are set up as stoic, masc and talented at hockey, so the reveal that they are queer is played as a big twist in both instances. Despite the comic banking on the premise that âyes, you can be a queer man and play hockeyâ, here are two instances where the comic betrays its own premise. (Three if you count Parse.)
Whiskey, like Parse, is not afforded any internal emotionality. His demeanor is portrayed as cowardly and duplicitous for not wanting to be out and proud like Bitty, and his closed-offness is, by virtue of the comic being told through Bittyâs lens, framed as disdain. He, like Parse, is framed as a villain because he has feelings.
Misc:Â
The infantilization of Chowder. Chowder is constantly referred to as Bittyâs baby boy, by virtue of his somewhat-clueless outward demeanor, and being Asian.
The hazing. I didnât think I would have to go into this, but apparently people love to downplay the fact that Bitty bullying the rookies in his senior year is not only questionable at best, but also illegal.
Bitty has no political stance despite being queer. His parents are most likely Republican, which is never addressed; he never unpacks his Christian upbringing, despite being queer in a traditional Christian family, and when confronted with the fact that Dex might be Republican, he frames Nursey as the one being silly for bringing up this conflict.
Shittyâs performative liberalism. Shitty plays into the stoner hippie archetype by flinging about a bunch of feminist theory, but is never actually shown actively doing anything to deconstruct the environment of college hockey. When Jack flies off the handle at Bitty, he excuses it. When Jack refuses to partake in hazing (likely because of his addiction?) he calls him a wimp.
I donât count Farmer as a major character because she appears in two panels and has no speaking parts, but she, too, falls into the âjust one of the guysâ category.
Anon I love you and you are CORRECT.
Adding to the Zimbits as Comphet point: Bitty says his mother is his best friend yet we know next to nothing about her aside from her homemaking skills. According to a tweet (so not actually canon) she does have a job but we never know what it is. And we see time and time again Bitty belittle his mother's recipes or brush off her hurt and concern (such as when she thought it was her jam recipe Bitty was sharing with NHL players). It's played for laughs in the comic but just makes Bitty look selfish, entitled, and self-centered (oh wait, that's what he is). Bitty never acknowledges his own bad behavior because he lives in the mentality of once a victim always a victim. Which, I would argue, Jack begins to fall into as well the deeper his relationship with Bitty gets.
Which we're not even going to get into Bitty's vlog and twitter where he took private conversations and blasted them to the public. Because the internet is public.
Also the fact that Bitty, despite not being out until Samwell, manages to out all three other queer characters in the comic, either through his vlog or vague (not very well) posting on his twitter: Jack, Kent, and Whiskey. And isn't that telling that not even in this supposed queer comic are 1 in 4 characters queer. I'm talking canon, not fanon. The actual canon.
Great ask/post anon!

THK episode 1 rambling thoughts
I am obsessed with this show. I have watched episode 1 five times! And I am absolutely in love with all 4 main characters.
I am not good at writing in-depth analysis or meta of any series as I tend to take things to literally sometimes. However, several things that strike me:
Kant and Fadel are more similar than we (I) think: Fadel with his job as an assassin by night and chef by day is precise with whatever he does. One only needs to see when he cut those tomatoes perfectly and carefully prep the burgers. Similarly, Kant as a tattoo artist means he needs to be meticulous and patient when he designed + apply those tattoos on his clients. Both also clearly love their brothers and willing to do die anything for them - including letting said self being blackmailed multiple times by a shady cop or moving your entire life hood/business to another town cause your beloved baby brother went bonkers during a drunken karoake session. Both also internalised their problems and project calm externally - although Fadel comes across as broody (but handsome) while Kant appears more affable (also handsome!) because of his flirtatious nature. Nevertheless, this is one of the reason why I think Kant & Fadel clashes (apart from Kant wanting to boink Fadel's baby brother) - they are too similar in nature and knows how the other operates.
Style and Bison are chaos incarnates and gremlins to the core. While Style may come of as ridiculous and bold, he is sharper than he looks. The fact that he can get under Fadel's skin so quickly means he clocks on what irritates Fadel and just roll with the punches without fear. Similarly, when Style told Kant he will only hit on Fadel if Kant gives up his precious car? That is him checking out Kant's interest in Bison because he knows how much Kant adores that car. Bison despite his sweet look is cunning and knows how to play to his strength. We know he has Fadel wrapped around his fingers. And while Kant may be the one flirting (at this point), Bison is the one pulling the strings. Even from their first one night encounter, Bison sets the pace (and tone) - from declining to give his name to boldly stating "You're not doing this solo, you know?". Plus while he seems receptive towards Kant's flirting (later on), Bison is constantly watching Kant's moves and calculating in his mind how much he wants to trust him.
Fadel and Bison relationship as brothers - they are polar opposites. However, it is obvious Fadel loves Bison even though he does not truly understands his lil brother. Similarly, while Bison may rebel, he ultimately obeys his big brother. After all, he wouldn't have asked Kant to win Fadel over if Kant ever wants to date him. May I also add that both Bison and Fadel are broken in some ways and it will be interesting to see their background story as the series progresses. I also personally think while Fadel is more stoic on the outside, he also has the gentler/fragile heart when compared to Bison.
Kant and Style are crazy - the former knows Bison is a hitman but still decides to seduce him (even with him being blackmailed, you can't convince me that is enough reason to proceed with the seduction). Style does not know Fadel is a hitman - however, the fact that Kant does not feel the need for his best friend to know of this important fact tells you a lot about how bold and fearless Style can be.
Kant, Bison and Fadel have control issues - in some ways they are all powerless and have no say on how to live their live. From Kant being frequently used by the police to do their dirty job to Bison/Fadel being raised as assassins. So, it certainly will be interesting to see how the 2 couples face their lack of control - some people have already theorized the BDSM scenes we will be seeing from KantBison stem from the need to have/give up control and it certainly seems to be heading towards that direction.
Either way, I am enjoying the cat and mouse game both couples are playing (although Fadel is clearly an unwilling participant at present). Both sides are convinced they have the upper hand, but I think all 4 are actually on a more even plane than they themselves realised.
#this is purely for me#not expecting anyone to agree with me#the heart killers#random rambling#thk episode 1#kantbison#stylefadel#i adore all 4 boys but I have a soft spots for my gremlin boys

You! As always, YOU get it @mayfay
The Sith? Were BASTARDS. Because? A quickly spreading Force sensitive race on OUR side? Good! Useful! War fodder! But one that? Culturally aligned Light? Would be sympathetic to the JEDI? Oooooh ho ho. No, NO.
They would bomb their planet to GLASS and be done with it, IF the fuckers hadn't already SPREAD so far! Worse?? Efforts to KILL them? Probably LEAD to those massive Clutch sizes!
Cause think about it? Their own planet? Maybe started out dangerous. They were primitive. Big clutches, lost a lot each time, but decent amounts survived. Civilian progressed. Less danger. Less died. Thaaaats a LOT of suddenly surviving kids to feed. Smaller but STRONGER Clutch? Good!
Modest Clutchs. Hardier. Smarter. Progress the species.
Oh Shit, SITH
Suddenly? People fuckin DYING. Whole bloodlines GONE. Settlements. GONE. Your tiny Clutch? BAD trait. Very bad. Oh Force, oh no! You try desperately to insure you pass on your bloodline before they get to you. Do what nature commands. Spawn, hide the kids, then lead the Predators away.
If you SURVIVE, you can come back for your kids. If not? At least they're SAFE.
But?
As we already covered? It takes A LOT to go through the process. Kinda like those octopus who will refuse to leave to go hunting. Yes, it's basically (Goo from me, goo from you, mixxy mixxy, now we wait and Protecc) but? That Wait and Protect part? Means no hunting, little to no sleeping (there COULD BE PREDATORS), constant monitoring of the clutch and making micro adjustments so they develop properly, etc etc.
Plus defending it. To the DEATH. Against EVERYTHING.
You are Secondary. You have Done Your Duty to the species. Protect the Next Generation AT ALL COSTS. Screams and scream and SCREAMS your instincts. Does it calm the fuck down? Yeah. Babies hatch, coo adorably, eat their first meal, and everyone passes out for a WEEK.
But like.... you lose WEIGHT. Sometimes weight you can't actually afford. People die. Starve to death with food literally in just the other room, because the Clutch can't be moved, and THEY can't leave the Clutch.
The stress such a thing takes on the body?
Imagine FIGHTING after that? During that. Exhausted, sleep deprived, and near feral. During the genocide of your people.
Now! Knowing how SHIT the odds are? That you could survive not just the FIRST few rounds of Sith sent after you? As you weaken? Contrast the odds of survival for Big Clutch, Moderate Clutch, and Small Clutch!
To insure they have passed on their bloodline effectively and can then go and bring the Fight to those Sith Bastards? Big Clutch only has to insure the survival of One(1) Clutch, somewhere the Sith won't find it. Hard? Yes. But perfectly doable. Then a bit of a rest with the kids while they are young, to recover strength and train um a bit. Which increases THEIR odds of survival. Then? Off to war!
Moderate Clutch? Steeper odds. Require greater skill to survive. You gotta do it SEVERAL times just to match the single time of a Big Clutch. What USED to be a hassle for Big Clutch gene having individuals? Is now saving them strength. Because what are your choices here? Stay out of the fight longer? Risk being found and the Sith finding your kids?
Spread them apart? Risk LEADING them to your kids while you try to raise them? Abandon all but one set?
.....spread as many as you can before they kill you?
And Small Clutch? With mere handfuls of children at a time? How easily dispatched. So much energy, so great a RISK! Is it WORTH it? Worth you LIFE? The lives of your companions? To try and risk bringing LESS into the world then it would take to DEFEND them?
Then the fucking DISEASE hits.
And there are so, SO many horror show ways it could go. But honestly? They Sith are monsters. They LOVE perverting Good into Harm. So it's probably the Clutch once again.
Like a fucking Cancer. You catch it. It seems mild. You don't notice until it's too late (it was already too late). As your body starts multiplying eggs. And multiplying. And multiplying. Death by internal hemorrhage. Most immediate casualties are the very fuckers they're having the most trouble with, the Big Clutch genes.
Genocide round two. Population drops AGAIN. But they're still fighting to hold on. Jedi obviously helping. The Force on their side.
A few lucky, uninfected Big Clutch with a few Male survivors of the disease? Suddenly you have a strand that's resistant. Few and far between. But coupled with other far flung survivors and a long lifespan? It's enough.
Not to mention? Like, as an aside? Pre Sith attack? They probably had a pretty stable population? Cause it's pretty easy to get the EXACT amount of kids you want? When everything is external? No one SAYS you have to use ALL of the goo. Do a pinch each. Have like two-three kids. Ffs, guys, we're not ANIMALS.
*Sith show up* never mind. Animals it is. GO FOR THEIR THROATS! D:<
OKAY, FIRST? Like the Picture Says...
So!
Here I was, sittin', thinkin', pondering my thoughts. Thing to myself? "How could one? Presumably female, much like myself, Jedi repopul-" and THAT is when my brain, worn and weary, from years of The Internet? SLAMMED its fucking pint down on the bar counter, turned to me with an ugly scowl and sneered?
"You KNOW fucking how. Don't be coy."
( O.O) w-well alright then, brain. Little aggressive. Kinda wondering where you got the knife. I... I'ma just... go... *pint glass is thrown after me, shattering on the door as it just barely misses*
So! Yeah. Birth, probably. But STILL! That's like? Still ONE(1) fuckin Jedi right? And even IF Mr. "I am literally half midi-chlorians by blood" sired two Force Sensitives on his first go? That's no guarantee EVERYONE does?
Unless..... >.> we are taking into account a Force Sensitive RACE. THEN? Oh, THEN? It's not a matter of IF, but HOW MUCH. Enough to hit that arbitrary cut off point? What if you don't care? What if you say "everybody can be a Jedi"? Want to TRUELY spread the Light. Not just to those who are STRONG enough... but to EVERYONE.
There are a few races like that! But! That STILL? Doesn't solve the Puzzle! The Problem! Of how could One(1) VERY determined Jedi lady, who? Presumably is pretty cool with motherhood. Rebuild The Jedi Order, by NOPINGâą out before Order 66.
Again, presumably AFTER taking on the role of Creche Master. And AFTER taking all the youngling on a Super Fun Unplanned Don't Tell The Other Grown Ups Suprise Feild Trip~â (yaaaaay!)(who wants snacks! Everybody got their travel bags and buddies? Let's gooooo~â!)
Cause like? Still need a stable population. And enough Jedi to *obscene gestures multiculturally* at the Sith.
My? Proposal? We turn to the Wisdom of the Monster Fuckers. (Wait wait WAIT! Don't leave! HEAR ME OUT!) I KNOW this sounds like a sex thing! Not a sex thing! It's a "Who said Humanoid Meant Live Birth? Were fucking Aliens, Bro" thing! Just because? Our SI-OC? Was reborn AS a vaguely human shaped sentient?
DOESNT MEAN SHE'S A MAMMAL.
That weird hair color could mark her as some WEIRD, man! Fuck, for all we know she could be a fungus! It's vaguely body horror! You get over it! Adapt to new biology!
Learn?? You lay CLUTCHS. Fuckin EGGS. All baby making is external after the first bit. Something, something, easier to defend against predators. SI-OC doesn't remember that part. There was this high pitched ringing in her head then a thump. She was on the floor. May have fainted. What're you, a cop?
They offer her weird alien birth control.
She takes the birth control.
Learns she is a Rare and Near Extinct Species, a la Master Mundi. Learns it's VERY detrimental to her health to lay clutches. Takes a lot of resources, she can't LEAVE it, so with out a partner or community (or sufficient hoard of food) she WILL starve to death. It HAS happened.
No, seriously, look Mafame Che in the eyes. It HAS happened. And no you CAN'T "push your impulses into the Force". It's a biological imperative. Your body physically won't LET you.
Exactly three options. Babies born, they die, or YOU DIE.
......little intense. Got it. Yes she would like that birth control. She will continue to be both average and forgettable. Pay no attention to the Jedi Creche Master In Training! Oh look! It's kenobi! *yeets fellow jedi under the speeder*
Take some.... research trips >.> <.< >.> which is of course totally not scouting out new Temple locations! To the Wild Zone. Mmmmm, no one for WEEKS by hyperdrive! It's so calm out here!
Only took, like, 278 different planets scouted! To find the right one.
*starts building dwellings.* *starts directing "too old" Force Sensitives or Families that want to stay together and are willing to move, towards the location.*
New secret Jedi planet? Whaaaaat? Nooooooo. That would be illegal. Jedi can't break RULES! Don't be silly. Oh? Is that Skywalker? *same Speeder, new jedi. YEET!*
But WAIT! The War Approachth! D:> upsetting. Better get ready to give that "we totally need to Hide The Babies For War Reasons" presentation she has prepared. But FIRST?
A clutch. Got a transport pod ready to go. Got food stockpiled. Got the birth control out. Now? Just need a male! Too uh... contribute.
.......look, she wants her legion of tiny jedi babies okay? They glow like STARS. Everything is BETTER with them around. And she's kinda come around to this whole... disgusting slime... goo... Thingâą. Cause I mean? At LEAST it's not pushing one OUT! ( o7 Padme, you have her respect. But also you are a madwoman.)
The Healers, are of course, FROTHING at the mouth.
YOU DUMB MOTHER FUCKER. They hiss, like healing and very concerned paragons of needle weilding fury. Where the FUCK are you going to just? GET?? A male of you INCREDIBLY RARE AS FUCK Species? You damn near dead and no longer existent species??!? You have DELIBERATELY put yourself in EXTREME medical distress! For WHAT?! Did you HAVE a plan!?
Yeah. :3 I call it Pulling a Yoda's Linage *Yoda ears move from Concern, to Intrigued*
*click*
..........what was that. Jedi SI-OC, What Was That?? *comms start blowing up* What did you just DO?
Oh :3c simple. She asked. It's the only polite thing to DO after all. She DOES need assistance. Surely someone would be willing to offer. If they can. How? You may ask?? Why look so CONCERNED Councilors! She simply assumed, that? Since there is no way of KNOWING where in the Galaxy surviving members of her Race are? And time IS of the essence? She SHOULD reach as wide an audience as she can, as FAST as she can... RIGHT?
>:3c so, of course, she posted her request to the Holonet.
Video and all.
"Grettings, I am Jedi SI-OC. I am an [race] and currently a Creche Master here at the Jedi Temple of Coruscant. I require the assistance of a healthy, willing Male of my species, as I have laid a clutch. And wish to have it fertilized. I would like to have children. We would, of course, discuss co parenting the children before beginning. I have, attached, further details. Thank you for your time. May the Force be with you"
Sexiest shit a LOT of people for egg laying races have seen in years. Well... those with Very Specific Jedi Kinks. Of course, no one ADMITS to jedi kinks. But like... you've thought about it. Don't lie. Everyone's thought about it. It's them and the Mandalorians.*commiserating noises*
But like? The NEWS CYCLE.
Holy SHIT.
Yeah, yeah, tensions and possible succession from the Republic. Sith plots in the background. But? *new casters violently clear their planned segments for THIS* JEDI? Horny on main!? Is THIS ALLOWED? IS this horny? What race is that? C-can other people volunteer? And if so, who? We take to the streets! Sir, what's your opinion on-?
OUTTA MY WAY, I'MMA BANG A JEDI! *frenzied mob like behavior*
*temple guards, unnamused.* back! BACK! Horny jail! For ALL OF YOU!
Just?? It's? So, SO? Important to me? That their are Mandalorian [race] that show up. Because the need to repopulate their people is more important then *scrunch nose* Jedi(ew). That it becomes the Galaxy's hottest Bachelorette show. WHO? Amongst these Fine And Acomplished Men? Will the Jedi CHOOSE? To have babies with! They ask.
And, presumably, marry and learn the power of family and friendship and emotions and be HEALED by LOVE etc etc.
There are shipping charts. It's horrifying. The talk shows LOVE it.
Council? Day drinking. Except for Mundi. He's just like "....but did you HAVE to you they Holonet? It's so MESSY >:/ everyone's in our BUSINESS now." Cause he's not a hypocrite. Grumpy asshole? Absolutely. But not a hypocrite.
Just? The single most "....who?" Jedi ever. Causing the BIGGEST fuss. Right at the worst possible moment, for Sidious. Causing an explosion of glee and hope and laughter etc, all across the Galaxy. Good feeling towards the Jedi. EVERYBODY talking about them. There's gonna be HUNDREDS more!
If she does this AGAIN (in a decade. Madame Che was NOT joking on the stress it puts on the body) there could be thousands new Jedi over the coming years! (Probably why the Sith fuckin wiped them OUT, not that she thinks about it. Fuckers. Who's laughing NOW?! Huh? WHO LAUGHING NOW?!)
Again! Very, unspeakably Ace. Not a sex thing. I just think I'd be funny? That the Forces answer to The Evil Sith plan was... Babiesâą.
What are we? Fuckin YODA?

suicide squad isekai is fun because you have the suicide squad, who are literally just here because the LAST squad fucked off and decided to become the generals of the enemy kingdom except they don't care about anything but their own survival so aren't really helping the human kingdom out of any reason other than self interest and Rick Flag Said So but rick flag is only here because he wants to steal all their resources & the queen is starving her peasants by encouraging the continued inequality of her land so its like this is fantastic i'm rooting for none of you
#fione is the only good person here & a childhood of abuse has made it impossible for her to do anything to progress the plot#but this actually makes her serve as a foil for harley who sees her as her past self and wants to bite her hand off#which is also a great dynamic! everyone is causing problems!! even the girl who is trying to stand perfectly still#so she doesnt get in anyones way!#suicide squad isekai

My apologies for the absence! I feel like a broken record saying this, but I keep entering different phases of 'settling into life' (went through a massive change in my personal life last year), and then every time I get to 'Ah, all is calm now', something else happens. But I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, as one huge weight has now finally been lifted off my shoulders. Phew. /munches on my camembert and baguette.
#[ ooc. ] don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.#[ i'm gonna chill in the sims /just a tiny bit/; and then i want to do a bit of a graphic overhaul of aesthetics/graphics here. ]#[ there's also a dual promo that's incoming (i'm sure nobody could guess with who whatsoever) sometime soon... ]#[ once i manage to decide on clips and transitions. ah; different kinds of creative juices! ]#[ and drafts. /drafts/. i feel so rusty. so incredibly rusty. my writing isn't what it used to be and that's perfectly normal and okay. ]#[ and it hurts me on a soul-level. but i also know that the only way back to it is to write. so that's what i'll do. i'll try to put my...#[ own scrutiny to the side and just write. ultimately i want to write all of these ideas in my head out onto here. ]#[ and progress them with you guys. and so if i let my own mind withhold me then nothing gets done at all. no writing. ]#[ i just need to remember that. ]#[ bear with me; i'm working on it. this. myself. and yelan. ]

i think that the desire for perfection when it comes to activism, organizing, and the like is truly the biggest detriment to progress in the present day. so many people labor under this fantasy that some perfect leader or solution or way of doing things will happen, and in the end we just end up going nowhere.
#a lots been going on in a different online sphere of mine and it's got me thinking about this topic specifically#the idea that things have to happen perfectly and that activism must be perfect is also an incredibly privileged take to have#most people don't have the time to be perfect activists#most people don't have the resources to be perfect activists#and the people who expect others to be perfect activists are often the people who both have the resources and are deeply imperfect themself#i'm a firm believer that the best activism is activism that actually sparks change and progress#and that activism is often imperfect and flawed along the way#but online leftists in particular are so caught up in the idea of being morally correct that they#overcompensate and don't get anything real done#or don't admit when what they did do was a mistake or didn't work out quite right#this is like a half formed thought i might revisit it later#personal#politics#activism

My therapist told me today that I'm one of her patients who's made the most progress in the last two years and honestly I have a feeling I'm getting a good grade at therapy
#which is ofc something real and achievable#but fr fr tho I'm so proud of my progress đ„Č I think most ppl don't really acknowledge how much therapy is actually hard#like exposing yourself. being vulnerable. opening up about your fears and insecurities and really shameful things#and being open to try a new perspective and actually going through the motions of putting yourself out there#putting things to the test and feeling wrong and having your body react like a prey animal the whole time#and still push through and keep trying again and again until your brain finally assimilates that this is you now#this is how you want to think and live your life now and you're not gonna have it any other way#it's hard and you don't do it perfectly and you go back to your sessions and you try again#there's hard truths we have to admit about ourselves there that we aren't always ready for#but you just keep going and things do eventually change#even though sometimes it feels like a painfully slow process#and idk just hearing her tell me that she sees me. that she sees how hard I'm trying. man. it's. im not gonna cry#sleep.txt#it's been real. fr fr

Looks like you have another AmRev figure to interview! Was this one close to Alexander?
I believe a mutual acquittance was in order; their interactions were part of the broader Franco-American alliance during the war. But he was moreso notable for his relationship with Washington. Though, that is not necessarily why I have gone to see him.
#asks#OOC: so might as well get this out of the way right nowâI do not think I will be continuing the Hamilton biography plot#this RP contains so few AmRev figures for it to make much progress and the Ham acc seems relatively too inactive as well#which is perfectly fine and should be respected. but yeah! for now on I will be moreso focusing on Joans biography#and a new plot I have in mind to widen the plausible interviews! :)

openly weeping at the idea of someone genuinely hating soul punk.
#like it makes sense obviously that people would. i guess. but i thought most people who didn't like it just didn't like#it because they didn't like patrick all that much or it was too different or they were just upset about fob's hiatus.#like idk i feel like calling patrick's lyricism bad is a little unfair.#like not to compare 2 bad bitches but he's right there. so pete writes comparatively just as cheesy lyrics.#i like that. don't get me wrong. 'cheesy' as a compliment. but like. patrick's lyrics r 2 cheesy 4 u? the fob fan?#like yes he uses a fash buzzphrase in 'dance miserable.' but i am almost certain he didn't think through the implications of it#and 'people never done a good thing' has like. weird liberal ableism in it. but that one was a bonus track and once again reads#very much like something he just. didn't think about very hard. still bad. but it's better than him doing it on purpose.#especially given how much of soul punk actually is actively trying very hard 2 be progressive and the former within the context of the song#reads more as overly cynical than like. actually fash. but he should've phrased it in a non fash-y way. yes.#it reminds me of the 'manifest destiny' line in 'high hopes' by panic actually.#like that's a buzzphrase that they totally didn't think through at all and that's. bad. really bad.#but it's also kinda funny given how liberal democrat these bands and ppl tend to try to come off.#like nobody caught that in 'high hopes?' all those writers in the room and nobody caught that?#was it like a 'maybe someone else will say something' '*crickets*' kinda sitch on that one bc. lol. lmao even.#i hope the white liberal guilt sits with them on that one.#but i digress. soul punk. that's two songs (including one bonus track) with a questionable lyric each.#otherwise both perfectly fine songs.#that being said yeah. sometimes the cynical liberal stuff grates on even me a little at times. like i feel it i really do and i think#patrick makes some important points but it's so bitter. even when he's writing *more about relationships it's just like damn dude.#(*asterisk because everything is political.)#AND I GET WHY. obviously. patrick is just like that a little bit and he was Going Through It. more relevant on truant wave tbh#because i think that mindset works better on soul punk.#i could understand the cynicism maybe tanking somebody's opinion of soul punk but it doesn't really bother me enough to alter my score.#also i understand it's the best song on the album but idk about ppl saying cryptozoology as a single. doesn't totally defeat#the purpose of the song and it would've also been powerful as a single#but it's just such a beautiful Fuck You to have it as a hidden track.#patrick stump#myevilposts

#shit chat#disordered eating cw#how to. politely ask my housemate to stop fucking telling me about her diet progress#she's trying to lose weight cause she's a musician & her band is traveling to this big thing at the end of the month#by doing really strict by-weight portion control and it does NOT seem healthy#she's trying to get back to her 'italy weight' and like. girl. u went to italy in high school 10 years ago & biked everywhere for a month#if you are at that same weight a decade later without exercise by simply making yourself eat less food there is a problem!#that is not aspirational that's horrifying!!! no u don't look hot in your gig outfit from 2013 you look disproportionately skinny!#so i gotta sit her down at some point and be like listen. ur an adult ur gonna do what you do#& i know ur industry puts insane pressure on women to look a certain way on stage.#but as someone with a history of disordered eating i will not cheer you on and support your 'progress'#and quite honestly it makes me uncomfortable to even talk about it and see your stupid little diet scale on the kitchen counter every day!!#i strongly associate weight loss with poor health for a number of reasons#and firmly believe that weight gain is cool and sexy and that everyone should be less afraid of being actually!!!#it was a struggle w/ dysmorphia for a while but putting on some chub is one of the best things i've been able to do for my body as an adult#i love my squishy tummy and hearing you obsess about having a perfectly flat (ie concave) abdomen daily is deeply saddening!!!#bleh. it's hard. i feel like i should gently intervene but also i do not want to get involved bc it's more than i can handle rn#*less afraid of being fat actually
