#Like I’m not even from a less shit country but like it’s in fact completely normal to be affectionate towards family members here

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

thinking about how people went insane over like fucking side hugs in the mcyt fandom and said they meant you were Secretly Shipping like I think those guys would have an aneurysm if you told them it’s normal in a whole lot of places for family members to kiss on the lips like. oh my god it’s so obvious some of you are american.

Kpop fans are obsessed with “mistreatment”.

Disclaimer: I am well aware idols go through a shit ton of shit in their industry. I am well aware plenty of them if not the majority of them are mistreated in some way or another, because their industry is similar yet very different from the West. This conversation is not to dismiss any of that.

All that said, fans of kpop idols are unhealthily obsessed with their bias being a victim of company mistreatment to the point where they readily throw other members of their favorite groups under the bus. This tweet is an example of that.

I didn’t take the original screen shot, but I did crop/blackout names and pictures, because that’s just how I roll.

However, to the point, these two people are discussing why Han and Lee Know of Stray Kids aren’t being allowed to release songs, and their conclusion is: they’re being mistreated by one of their companies. The managerial side, I do believe. And that mistreatment is concluded to stem from Han and Lee Know potentially being queer and in a relationship.

Now, me? I’m a shipper. I adore them together and do believe they likely have something going on. I also believe it is smart to assume that in a country more known for conservative views than not, which include anti-queer views, they aren’t likely to be treated with the most care and concern by anyone working with them who may be homophobic, if Han and Lee Know are in fact queer and dating, and if it is known to their company.

However, the person on top decides to go a step further and state that their mistreatment furthers the belief that Minsung’s queerness is real, because in their head, Felix isn’t being mistreated in the same way, thus proving his presented queerness is somehow lesser.

How the two correlate? I do not know, because no one within Stray Kids is known for consistent solo releases. No one within SKZ have released solo albums nor have they been heavily featured on other people’s music. They are very much so marketed as an 8-piece who even release solo stuff on 8-piece albums. Occasionally they’ll drop a song or two, but it’s not like either one of their companies are green lighting one person over another 24/7.

So to circle back to my point, and it’s something I’ve said about BTS solo stans as well… your bias cannot be the only one being mistreated if EVERY SOLO believes their bias is the one being mistreated. Either the entire groups is being mismanaged and ignored, or the most likely scenario in these cases, is that fans simply do not like that their fave isn’t being pushed front and center at all times.

Because really and truly, the answer is probably somewhere between investments and returns not matching up for what your bias wants or finances and production time are being allocated elsewhere for the group as a whole. And to a certain degree, I completely believe that the way BTS release music is the best way groups should release. It should happen throughout the group’s entire career, because it gives artists space to grow. Kpop is known for that more or less, but they’re still pretty controlling and wants solo work to fit the group image.

I’m getting off track, I’m writing this, because saying a person who has repeatedly expressed his comfort, happiness, and desire to be perceived as non-cis (because that’s truly what it is even if Felix has not come out nor changed how he refers to himself), is doing so to be “trendy” in some poor attempt at defending two people who you think are queer, is insane.

I 100% believe Han and Minho are likely queer. I 100% believe Felix is likely queer, but I can’t say I would ever pit them against one another, least of all claim that the only one of the three of them to say from his mouth that he likes being viewed as unisex, is allowed to release solo music (which he doesn’t do in the first place!) because he’s faking his queerness. Because he’s the “right” (aka not real) kind of queer that only exists because it’s “trendy”.

That is truly fucked up, and the reason I say this is proof of fans being obsessed with mistreatment, is because this person is clearly unable to even recognize the fact that they are belittling someone’s identity and forms of expression that not only leans queer, but is in fact queer. And I'm not saying choosing a unisex/androgynous image automatically makes a person queer in terms of their gender or sexuality. But it does place their gender and sexuality into a box much much closer to queer than not, and it is simply not common practice for cis straight men to openly discuss their intent to be mistaken as a woman.

Taemin has said it. Jimin has said it. Felix has said it. They enjoy the confusion, they enjoy wearing things that make them most comfortable even if it causes people to question their gender. So to say it’s happening because it’s trendy, is bullshit. To throw Felix under the bus, is bullshit.

People become fans of Kpop and get swept away in the waves of pretty men in tight clothes and makeup, and hugging on their male friends, and forget that South Korea is still South Korea. They forget that the only people who claim kinship is extremely normal and common amongst straight men, are westerners and western raised Koreans. There are plenty of queer Korean people who make it known skinship is not this always welcome way of behaving. We know being queer is still taboo, because of the way BL actors act once their fame dies down and their homophobia pops out. There are straight me. In the Korean movie and music scene who turn their noses at skinship, because again, it is not some super normalized thing.

Just because Kpop is a field in which men are allowed and semi-encouraged to be less masculine and more vulnerable, doesn’t mean it’s all fake and that real queer idols are being emotionally abused and ignored. Wanting your bias to be getting treated badly is very insane behavior that all Kpoppies seem to exhibit, and I will never understand it.

Trendy or not (and let’s be clear, it’s not. Being queer and expressing a certain type of sexuality might bring money into the idol industry as we know, but it will never be a “trend”) Felix is a real person. He has expressed himself regarding this topic many times, and does not owe anyone a full blown coming out just for people to believe that his interested in not being masculine and indeed being seen as unisex, is real.

This person needs to dial it back and actually think about what it is they say and believe. Not only because measuring queerness is stupid and would give zero answers on this topic, but if we had to look at how history unfolds when it comes to potential queer men who are perceived as more or less cis vs. potential queer men who actively choose to present as a feminine in some way… the answer is very consistently clear.

So instead of trying to persuade people into believe Minsung have it harder because they might be in a relationship, this person needs to consider there being other reasons. They need to stop letting their “yes men” fill their heads with the idea that every other SKZ member is drowning in solo music and opportunities, when that’s not true. Solos are delusional by default and I know that, but it pisses me off when idols try so hard to express themselves, particularly regarding their queerness or adjacency to, and so-called fans still find ways to disregard them.

Which is another thing I’ve said before yet will say again: Idol fans do not want queer idols. They want idols who pretend to be queer, but give it up once their fame wanes. It’s stupid and ass backwards, but is a fact of the idol fandom world.

I feel like I’m saying the same thing over and over again but fucking hell, the results in the local elections weren’t a surprise. They were fucking inevitable. Starmer is about as moving as a fart. People’s lives are NOT changing—and granted, Labour’s only been in power for less than a year after over a decade of Tory rule—but the messaging ain’t great, is it, pals? More fussed about playing into the hands of populism than actually tackling wealth inequality, child poverty, or the fact that corporations are still avoiding tax… Get fucked.

The reality is, Farage isn’t speaking to people because he’s good at it. It’s just that he’s the only one speaking TO them and not down to them.

The left—predominantly middle-class folk who use politics as a means to distance themselves from their own privilege, playing games of relative deprivation to cosplay Oliver Twist rather than having hard conversations about how their culture has pushed the working class away—has fucked it.

And while it’s great that the Greens are trying to shake the image of being a party for middle-class white people, I don’t see them swinging the working class their way anytime soon. Their nuclear policies alone make that a hard sell. Which, yeah, isn’t a very comforting thought if you’re 19 and idealistic—but I’ve spent 27 years in a working-class army town, and honestly? A lot of people I know would laugh at some of the things Carla Denyer says.

And I can’t remove class from my lens. Poverty fucked my brain more than growing up in a DV household, more than the bullying, more than watching my dad die. So yeah—it just feels disingenuous when the Greens talk about class. I don’t even know why, but it does.

I genuinely think Ed Dempsey and Mick Lynch are examples of people in politics who don’t feel disingenuous. And we need more voices like theirs in the Labour Party—I mean, God forbid a socialist workers' party actually puts unions at its heart, lmfao. How far we’ve drifted.

Even MPs like Matthew Torbitt—who, in my opinion, doesn’t leave you with that icky film of bullshit suffocating you—make the effort to actually talk to the working class. He goes out of his way to appear on channels like GB News, not because he agrees with their politics, but because he understands that engaging with working-class people where they are is more important than looking ideologically pure on Twitter. He talks about the real problems people are facing. He gets it.

I don’t think, en masse, your average Brit is a deeply racist, misogynistic piece of shit. I think they’re fucking tired. I think life is getting harder and harder, and everything else on top of that starts to feel like nagging—like poking an overstimulated child.

And the left’s insistence over the years on morally snarking at working-class people is going to remain a fundamental problem until they understand that the single biggest issue in the UK is wealth inequality and a complete lack of class consciousness. Because that is the tool this country uses to oppress people. And without understanding that, you are just chatting shit, in my opinion.

And I honestly don’t understand how people still don’t get that the middle-class left constantly insisting the white working class have “no culture” and are just racist pissheads… might have had an impact on how they view politics. Just maybe. But y’know—whatever helps you sleep at night. If only there were some sort of… I don’t know… history books? That touched on this kind of thing.

I’m coming from my vent account because I don’t want to get found out as a Jew on my main. Please, please stop posting in the antisemitism tag. You’re clogging it up and taking away a safe space for Jews by trying to delegitimise Jew hatred. Now, I don’t know if you’re good faith or not, but I’m leaning on no. You keep on going onto posts about Jew hatred from Jews, saying what boils down to ‘wow! I’ve learned so much from this!’ and then you go back to posting inflammatory things again. I mean, you posted something from Caitlin Johnstone, I can’t believe that you give a single shit about Jews (or Ukrainians) after that

As for your most recent post on how poor you just can’t believe lying Jews when we talk about discrimination because you’re scared we’re deceiving you, you put in a comment ‘If I'd seen said Arab nations' governments massacring thousands of civilians, while painting every single criticism of said massacre as Islamophobic, yes, I would have’. This is… I don’t even know how to tackle this, do you genuinely not know all of the horrific shit so many of the Arab states have done? Qatar is known as one of the biggest countries of modern slavery. The Houthis in Yemen sex traffic Ethiopian women, and also reintroduced slavery into Yemen. Just look at the atrocities so many of these countries have committed against Shia Muslims! Is your brain mush, how can you say this when there is so, so much evidence of the horrors that these nations have committed?! And if you think these states graciously accept criticism of those horrors… you’re being ignorant on purpose. And it’s still not okay to say that you don’t believe an Arab when they talk about anti Arab racism that they’ve experienced, I think we can at least agree on that. So why’s it not the same for Jews?

For a more personal example to Jews, look up the Mizrachi expulsion. The Arab states violently expelled almost a million Jews from their countries ‘because Israel’, which they only care about because it ruined their dream of pan Arabism, not because of any solidarity with the Arabs in the mandate btw. My family was lucky, we came from Iran, which is not Arab, so the violence was coming from the people rather than the state itself. But I’ve had to heard accounts from people talking about how they watched their family get shot in the head while their homes were repossessed for no reason other than the fact they were Jews. Is that bad enough for you? Does it even make a dent in your image of the Arab states? Or is it okay because it happened to Jews?

I know I sound very angry in this, and that’s because I am very angry. And that anger is completely justified! My life, and the lives of almost every Jew on this disgusting website, have been beyond horrible for five months. The number of times I’ve had to read about a new Jew hating shooting or stabbing in the world is too many too count. And then, non Jews like you decide to play the ‘oops, I just caaaan’t believe those Jews about Jew hatred because they could be zionists!’ (Which are around eighty percent of the Jewish population, but I don’t think you’re ready for that conversation yet, it’s reserved for people who actually want to learn). All of us are so unimaginably angry. All of us are at our fucking breaking point, or we’ve completely snapped already! The people you have interacted with have been some of the kindest, most levelheaded people here, but you’d better not get used to it, because we’re all tired of this bullshit

Thank you for taking the time to call me out. Between you and the several other people who contacted me about this, I’ve come to realize that that post was a terrible mistake.

It was meant to be a vent post about people who deliberately blur the lines around what’s actually antisemitism, and about my lack of certainty about my own ability to independently assess the less obvious instances of that (which is clearly still very lacking, as the response to that post made clear to me).

But it apparently caught a lot of innocent Jews in the crossfire, making them feel unsafe, unheard, and delegitimized. That wasn’t the intention, but it was clearly the effect. I screwed up badly, and I’m sorry.

I admittedly don’t know all the details about the horrific shit Arab nations have done. I was aware of Iraq’s government mass murdering protesters, and Saudi Arabia’s horrifically sexist laws, but some of the info you shared in this post is stuff I hadn’t previously heard of.

As for why I mentioned false accusations of antisemitism specifically, it’s because that’s the one I’ve seen several times a day lately, sometimes in the form of stuff like telling people who protest child murder that “You just don’t like it when Jews defend themselves.”

That said, you and the other people who responded have made it clear to me that that focus was based on an overly narrow view on my part. I’ve been more active in pro-Palestine circles than in circles that focus on the other situations you mentioned, so naturally that resulted in me seeing more antisemitism accusations than accusations focused on groups that aren’t directly involved in that conflict. So that resulted in a less than balanced viewpoint.

While my vent post was meant to be about one specific phenomenon I’d personally seen a lot of, the fact that I didn’t mention similar behavior on the part of groups I hadn’t personally seen as much of that behavior from did result in it being unjustly targeted, in a way I didn’t intend but should’ve assessed better.

What happened to you and other Jews at the hands of Arab nations (and pretty much every nation) was absolutely not okay. The effect my post had on you and other Jews who saw it was not okay. The treatment you’ve endured on Tumblr is not okay. And I’m sorry for the pain I caused you.

You have every right to be angry at me. I won’t ask you to forgive me or trust me, because I know I earned your anger with that poorly thought out post. I shouldn’t have made my own insecurities and frustrations other people’s problem like that. I screwed up badly, and I’m sorry.

Do you think theproject takes place in like . A country with a high property value . Is it well known ? Does it have good food and . Well I know for a fact it does not have low crime rates but . Can it make up for that ? Is it scenic ? What’s the culture like y’know ?

okay hang on I’m going to make a couple of maps for the first time ever because I really want to answer this properly. So I’m going to start with weather and temperature and location. This is not canon because I blatantly refuse to place it anywhere on the world map so I don’t have to talk about geo political relationships and fucking science of how it’s there or whatever, I failed geography, but it is somewhere in this area, not in the middle of the ocean, but closer to one or another landmass. So similar weather to either the uk or parts of America, probably closer to America as it’s referenced as being quite easy to travel to. No one ever talks about Britain but then neither would I if I had a choice so that indicates nothing.

It’s probably slightly warmer than the uk but it has thunderstorms and rain quite frequently and I’d guess it’s equal to or smaller than Britain in terms of land. However characters can travel around frequently because there’s good public transportation. I drew a map but I really really hate it so much I just needed to create the idea of the layout. I hate drawing maps.

There are roads and train lines and the like not pictured because I couldn’t be bothered but You Get It, vaguely. It’s completely an island so the views of the sea are probably very nice and I think before skills were a thing they weren’t really known for anything, so initially a low population density, and probably still pretty affordable property. Not cheap but like. Better. Nice place generally. We see the worst of it because that’s how you get a good story but it’s not that bad it’s genuinely Quite Good, you know? Free healthcare, pretty good housing opportunities, good few jobs in law or offices or journalism due to all the things to report on. I think a lot of the people there, if not the majority, moved there after it improved once skills started benefiting work in healthcare and sciences and stuff. Big governments probably delayed looking into that for ages in case it backfired or messed stuff up somehow, but small place, not hugely complex system? Just jumped straight in and it worked. It also has some of the loosest regulations on powerful or hard to control skills so I’d think there’s people from all over going there. It’s probably very much like the more boring parts of America and some bits of the USA but . It’s one of the safer places if you get what I mean. There’s some very crucially bad things but if you remove those niche defects from the picture it’s actually. A really good place.

I don’t know if it has a comparatively high crime rate actually. Maybe because it’s a small place with one or two very dedicated criminals but . Generally there is less crime than would be in any other places if they were shrunk down to that size. Or at least an even amount. Once again, we see the worst of it. And everyone still keeps living mainly happily. Considering it’s an island I imagine they have a good amount of seafood but in my mind there’s also a channel tunnel type construction that means it’s not difficult to either travel or import wider ranges of food. Probably a lot like America but I’m betting there’s like . super niche cafes and restaurants around for a variety of things. There’s good food because if I made all this world building just to give them shit food I’d have to kill myself. I would go more into what seafood they have but I honestly don’t like seafood much so I only really know 2 or 3 seafood dishes and I definitely couldn’t accurately profile what would be most popular. It’s definitely scenic I think it’s quite high above sea level in places especially near the city of cliffs so it’s. Honestly probably beautiful.

Day 771

Steam had a sale so I brought games. A lot of them because most of them were under ten dollars… all of them were actually under ten dollars and a lot of them were under 5 dollars, because of the type of games I like playing and Steam sales are wonderful.

One of the games I had been playing (until I got it out of my system) was Lost and Found, and the genre is… weird. It’s one of those games where you realize that genre is a really strange way of labelling games. Lost and Found is technically a mixture of hidden object and time management, but it doesn’t really hit the mark on what you look for in those genres. After all, the point of a hidden object game is to find an object that is hidden, and time management is a genre where you’re asked to do a series of tasks in the most effective way possible to manage your time.

Even the other user-tags on Steam don't quite explain what Lost and Found is, but to explain why it is weird, I should explain what the premise is.

In the game Lost and Found, you’re a person who runs the Lost and Found area of an airport and people come up to you asking for their lost items. People who will tip you money if you give them their items back, and with upgrades, they will give bonus money if you give the item back to them quickly. Those items come on a conveyor belt every once in a while, and you take them off the belt and put them on your table before the conveyor takes them away (as it would deduct money from your savings). There’s a bunch of minigames you can play that help earn more money as the day progresses.

And here is where the two genres of time management and hidden object exist, but don’t quite exist at the same time. Technically, you are looking for the object someone is asking for, on the table of stuff that keeps collecting as the days progress. Technically you’re managing time, as you try to give items as fast as possible, take items off the conveyor belt and do mini games to earn the most money possible.

But where it doesn’t quite meet traditional standards of those genres has to do with two important mechanics in the game. The first, is that, where you put the item on the table, is completely up to you. You have control where that item on the table goes. The second thing is, at the end of the day, instead of booting you out of the play space immediately, the game requires you to click your journal to end the session even when the day is done and no customers come in.

This is important, because it means at the end of the day, you have all the time in the world to reorganize your table as you see fit. The act of reorganizing your table, makes it less of a hidden object game as you organize in such a way that you can find items quickly. 

Like I actually put lost boarding tickets in groups of four in as close to alphabetical order as I can. This way if I don’t remember which image belongs to which country, I can quickly guess which group it is in and check by hovering the mouse.

I put electronics, small accessories, large accessories, travel items (like items that would go into a bag), entertainment items, food items, shirts/coats and large bags/luggage into their own groups so I can find them quicker. 

Between that and the fact the items more or less always look the same, the game becomes more about strategy and memory. This is a very different set of skills than what traditional time management or hidden object games require. 

It doesn’t make it a bad game, it just means if you’re recommending this game to someone else, you might need more explanation than its genres, because the genres will tell you shit.

That being said, if you want a fast paced game that you can play for a few minutes at a time (or an hour or so), I do recommend this game. This sort of game I really like, it provides a different kind of challenge than what I’m used to.

[th3-c0ll3ct3r]

hey. american here. american who lives in the deep south, here. american who is trans, and gay, and deeply deeply fucking terrified of what the next four years will bring, here. i don’t think you have any fucking right to tell me and people like me that we shouldn’t be upset at someone showing their ass about this on twitter.

“people in other countries see you as cultists for being so passionate about politics” there are women who are being charged with murder for having miscarriages. there are queer people out there who are having basic medical care denied to them for the simple fact that they exist. (fun fact, saying “i don’t believe this btw but a lot of other people do” doesn’t make you sound like any less of a fucking asshole.) sorry that i and people like me give a shit about the fact that people are genuinely being wiped off the fucking map.

“in other countries ‘lol’ has different contexts” honestly the fact that you think americans can’t and don’t use ‘lol’ both ironically and sarcastically is showing how completely fucking ignorant you are. i’m not even sure i can properly express how much of a fucking moron you are for saying this, so i’m just going to call you an idiot and move on.

“people are forcing others to share their opinions” nobody forced doc to share anything. nobody fucking asked him to tweet shit. nobody said hey, doc, the guy who lives in germany and streams minecraft for a living, all your american fans are waiting with bated breath to hear what you have to say about american politics! he voluntarily shared his opinion on a public platform and then got his poor little feelings hurt when some of the public didn’t like him.

i’m aware europeans only see the sensationalized versions of our politics. i’m aware that you don’t know what it’s like. i’m aware that we’re going to experience another four years of insanity— because we are. i’m already bracing myself to lose some friends. there are already bodies being found on college campuses and in dorms from students committing suicide over how hopeless we all feel.

i’m also aware that, because of your ignorance, you’re likely to hold some dogshit beliefs. i don’t blame you for that. but i do blame you for spouting your ignorance online. americans don’t need you or anyone else to educate us on how fucked queer people and women are. we’re already fucking living it.

lol.

Well friend, I posted the very unbiased and very neutral opinion, and even in my post I did apologise for the language used and enforced that it wasn't my opinion

And I understand it seem a bit, well dumb to "dumb" something down alot. But their are genuinely people made over the word "lol" and it was mainly meant for those people who are Over-reacting to what he said and are ragebaiting other people into forcing opinions out of them

I am not made at you for leaving this in my inbox. Not annoyed, and if you need somewhere to vent then I'm here.

I have a different account on twitter with the same name that goes more into detail of the people effected by the new presidental election and I do plan on making a bigger post about how it will effect everyone.

But at the time I made the other post, it was quite late and the disgusting things that were said about his family was not tolerated

People also blamed him for the "outcome of the election", and the post was made for those people too.

I prove alot of explanations that sometimes I don't agree with, but others do and that's why I included it for context and not to be hateful or spiteful or silly. I witnessed first handed the chaos that ensued in my own college because he won and I live in the UK.

Someone slammed their head into a wall. Someone went to cancel a scholarship. Someone people left to call families.

And I don't think 1 post about "please don't harass doc's family for culture differences" will fix everything. Because it won't. And I even mentioned why I didn't think I'd fix anything, I do believe. And apologied for language used because I believe those opinions are disgusting and unkind.

I'm mainly a Minecraft blog (shocking ik), and post alot of minecraft content and rarely post other content. And that's why the post is put into the context of assuming you didn't know/other people didn't know. Because I don't know the age demographic of my "audience" and I don't know who sees it.

So it may seem disingenuous, or "stupid" but I like to put things in simplified terms and provide explanations to the point so you know it's not just me making it up, and theirs genuinely thought behind it

I've their issuing a recount because (allegedly) from 75,000 to 2 million votes haven't been casted in yet and the mail ballot haven't reached yet, and I do wish for that to come in your favour.

And again, I will be making a longer post about the effects it will have on Americans as well as the rest of the world, when someone of the conspiracy dust settles and when I have the time, because I am a full time college student (and only 17 getting ahead in a program and taking external course to give you better explanations because my writing is not the best and I use TTOS for alot of it)

Again if you do have any concerns, pop a message in my DMs, I'm not mad or anything, your message was actually nicer than many other calling me all sorts of racists things, and I can see your genuine frustration and I completely understand.

I hope to be in contact soon. Please stay stay safe

[possiblyunhinged]

The more polls that come out about voting intentions and views on politics (like thinking the UK would be better under a dictatorship), the more my anxious, miserable millennial ass feels like we’re genuinely sandwiched between generations of nutters. Normally, you could chalk that up to misleading headlines and obscurely worded questions, but then you go online—where everyone’s lives have moved—and realise extremism is just what it is now.

Human beings who don’t sound like they’re on the cusp of a mental breakdown at all times can’t even touch the sides of our disillusionment. The only break in the doom comes from meekly-toned millennials popping up on my TikTok feed to reassure me that yes, the world has in fact gone fucking insane. And it’s no place for a generation that lives in fear of confrontation.

I can’t help but wonder if the golden era of conflict was the subtweet.

And as a self-hating millennial, I wonder how this happened. We grew up with shit like Happy Tree Friends and Formspring—watching animations of bunnies getting glassed while simultaneously existing on a platform that basically only existed for cyberbullying. I didn’t know a single person whose mum didn’t have an eating disorder she graciously passed down.

Dads? Never heard of them.

Or maybe I’m just fucking old and completely out of touch, the most likely option. Every time I go for a dog walk, it’s a sea of arsehole children in grey tracksuits riding e-scooters and vaping. I grew up on a steady diet of Wonga loans and Brighthouse laptops—if my mum also had to put me on a death trap, I reckon that would’ve been a wee bit much.

That, combined with the realisation that instead of dealing with reality and wealth inequality, we’re probably going to elect a bunch of bulbous, impotent old men whose only rhetoric is ‘fuck immigrants’ and ‘fuck the EU’—securing our decline in concrete.

Nothing quite like being on a burning planet, accelerated by fossil fuels, while the very people who hate immigration refuse to acknowledge that the less habitable countries become, the more inevitable immigration will be.

Anyway, I’m back to listening exclusively to music from 2009 and bunkering up in my room to pretend all is swell. I might even start wearing a hairband halfway down my forehead, just to remind myself of the time when my panic attacks could be whittled down to nonsense—rather than being constantly doused in news confirming that we are, in fact, in the end times.

[evilsaturn]

I’m the biggest cyber stalker in the world and don’t gaf so I frequently check up on people from my past. It’s so fun I completely embrace being nosy. I will forever gossip about everyone I’ve ever met in my entire life with my gf and no one can stop me.

With that being said, most of my ex-friends are still stuck in the same parasocial relationships with k-pop singers that we had in our teen years, but the obsession is so much more intense than ever. I didn’t think it would get so bad when we’re so grown now.. I’m so glad I got out when I did even though it was still late. You can’t tell me this shit isn’t a cult.

The Scorpio who would always imply women that like younger boys are pedophiles is now the women in question. 25, every idol she stans now is younger than her and one of them is even born in 2007. She collects k-pop merch big time now, throws celebration fan events for k-pop groups at cafés, and even lies about her age to her followers so they think she’s a year younger 😭 Genuinely have no clue what difference a year makes but LMAO? Lies about her race too, which is nuts because strangely enough she has a younger sister on stan twitter that just admits she’s white! This bitch pretends she’s Japanese!

The Aries is a full time k-pop TikToker. Kinda successful but she lives in the UK so I don’t even think she’s paid off it..? Stalking her is waaay less interesting though because she’s mega fake on all of her public accounts. Went from one of the most hateful stans you could meet in your life to someone so in love with k-pop you’d mistake her for a shameless Korean fetishist (maybe she is?). She loves every group and idol and goes sooo hard for her faves. Bragging about spending thousands on idols ($700+ on merch in a day… LMAO?), flying to Korea every year, stalking celebs and so much more omg. I’m 90% sure she’s a sociopath or narcissist, but at the same time I’m not sure if someone with those personality disorders could participate in so much celebrity worship? She’s super obsessed with western celebrities too. Her whole life is being a fan… also in her mid 20s. She used to talk about her parents being emotionally stunted or something so maybe she searches for the love she didn’t get from them in celebs, but fuck it’s intense. At the same time I know for a fact she talks crazy about her faves, she has to have an Aries Mercury or something because she just says fucking anything. An odd thing she would always do is stalk a celeb or do whatever she could to get an interaction from them, but then act like it was a burden to her or like she didn’t want it to happen. But yeah I think she has to have one of those personality disorders for sure because I don’t think a normal person is able to just exploit themselves like that in so many ways…or pretend to be someone else FOR FREE!? She also doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings (or when she does, there’s a rationale behind it that sounds out of touch) and she doesn’t care about what people say about her. I genuinely feel like if she read this she would feel nothing. Even if it came from her fave 💀

Lastly, the Aquarius. Sexually harassed and suicide baited her mutuals in the past (including minors) to now obsessing over Korean and Japanese guys all day and following them around the WORLD. Flights booked year round to countries all over Europe and Asia. Super sexual with all of her mutuals to the point she even has a nsfw warning about it in her carrd. But hey, at least she’s warning people now instead of just forcing herself onto them. She’s also mid 20s.

They all have this weird thing in common where they tweet “I work full time to fund my obsession with [insert group]” and it’s sooo strange to me. Thousands of dollars spent on someone else’s happiness, or to feel like they care about you. It’s like when dudes draining their pockets on AI chicks and catfishes on Facebook, not exactly like that but still like what the fuck?? How does this bring you happiness? I never spent nearly as much as them, but how the fuck did it bring me happiness? The shit is so fucking pitiful.

You can also tell they’re aging out reallll bad because one, the Scorpio is lying about her age 😭 but the big one is when you look at their mutuals and who they interact with it’s all people years younger. Their friends (and faves) just get younger and younger because that’s who the kpop audience is.

Hopelessly devoted is such a cute ship name! I am one more problematic person who likes them…I stand for LGBTQ+ rights, legal abortion and I do not plan on waiting for marriage even though everyone I know off line believes different (my entire country is Catholic lol) I think that’s why I love bad guys so much, you don’t expect them live Godly lives. My question, I know Santino’s family is Catholic but France, more so in old days and esp Chile are also high Catholic countries…how do Vincent and Chidi feel about the Church and its teachings? Are there any that they try to live by in spite of the lives they live? PS I also think smoking is disgusting almost all men here do & I hate hate hate it lol

Ack okay so many things to unpack in one ask but we’re gonna get through it all!

1. The name!

I came up with majority of the JW ship names on here but with HopelesslyDevoted, I was actually thinking about the song from ‘Grease’! The original thought process was something noble for Marquis’ half and loyalty for Chidi’s half, but then I dumbed myself down and came to the conclusion of HopelesslyDevoted

2. Problematic Instances

See when I say problematic, I mean r4p3 and p3dophili4, which are two main problems with the users who write Marquis/Chidi fics on Ao3. What you believe in as stated is completely fine if not morally correct (of course, sex before marriage is a choice so no real morality there since it’s an option), so when I say there’s problematic people who like this ship, I’m alluding to those who have written these two in non-consensual context or in weird age gaps and very triggering situations for the purpose enjoyment (AHEM Laci.)

3. Views on Catholicism by the two

Now I’m gonna be honest, my family isn’t super religious, at least to the point where they’d take me to church EVERY Sunday. The last time I’ve been to church was when I was like 6 (which was a long time ago) and the most I’ve seen my family do as a whole is pray before food. So really I can’t go too much in depth with this, unless you’d want to wait days for me to do the research (I’d get distracted) considering that I’m neither French nor Latino and I don’t know how specific areas/cultures handle their devotion to Catholicism.

The only thing I can safely assume is that Chidi is very nonchalant about it now in his adult life, and Vincent’s probably ditched the whole ideology, maybe?

4. Smoking

I don’t want to offend anyone or start anything stupid, but I hate people that smoke or do drugs solely because it makes me uncomfortable knowing they’re destroying themselves so ‘violently’ (for lack of better words). I hate the fumes, I hate the rage with vapes, I hate that minors get influenced and shit (I’m a minor), and hate that I feel like I have to be chill with it even if I personally don’t like it. The same thing goes for drinking, however I feel less guilty with alcohol. This all boils down to the fact that people get addicted and it changes their lives; like I’m all for doing whatever you want as long as it’s not hurting anyone, but me personally I’m just not that person.

If anyone asks me to expand on this I will try my best to respectfully (not that I’d be mean abt it, just that I suck at wording things)

You deserve it

Masterlist

A/N: I'm struggling, and I need a fucking hug. So I wrote this. It's probably fucking terrible but I need a fictional surrogate boyfriend to shower me with affection right now, because the real one is halfway across the country. Okay. Exquisitely self-indulgent hurt/comfort with tooth-rotting fluff.

Pairing: Mike (Hellraiser) x reader (you)

Summary: You're feeling like shit, and Mike helps you feel less like shit. That's it. That's the plot.

Word count: 1.4k

Warnings: Hurt/Comfort. Depression/ anxiety/ general really bad fucking day having reader, suicidal thoughts/ intrusive thoughts. I mention a boner once.

@geralts-yenn @deandoesthingstome @keanureevesisbae @fvckinghenrycavill @ellethespaceunicorn @peaches1958 @sillyrabbit81

“Babe I’m having a really shit day, okay?” You hate doing this. Cancelling plans last-minute is the worst under normal circumstances, but you really wanted to see this movie tonight with Mike. “You can go by yourself, it’s fine. Or take someone else. I’m just going to bed.”

“Alright, babe. Text me when you wake up, okay?” He’s so sweet. You really don’t deserve him. Then again, you don’t deserve anything. Yeah, to lay in bed, completely worn out from doing nothing, unable to move (because why the fuck not?) and hungry because you haven’t eaten all day – that involves moving, and as previously established: you can’t. Plus, even if you weren’t tired and glued to your bed, he’d probably have a better time hanging out with someone who isn’t depressed and horrible. And that rules you out.

You’re on the verge of falling asleep. Actually, you’ve been on the verge of falling asleep for weeks. It just doesn’t happen. So, like all those other times you wished there was a poison apple or cursed spinning wheel nearby, you just lay in bed with your eyes closed, curled up into a ball and trying to ignore the crushing weight of your overflowing to do list and the guilt over bailing on your boyfriend. It’s probably only a matter of time before he runs off with someone cuter, thinner, and more alive than you, anyway.

The door opens. The noise doesn’t make you turn around. In fact, absolutely nothing would make you turn around. Keanu Reeves in your doorway wouldn’t make you respond at this point, and Lord knows that’s saying something. You’re just done.

Whoever it is that’s in your doorway and likely isn’t Keanu Reeves, walks into your room. Honestly, if this is a murderer, good. No one would complain. It’s probably just your roommate, though. Massive disappointment.

“Sadie, just go please,” you sigh as you pull the comforter tighter around your shoulders. The unidentified intruder reaches your bed, and a bag drops to the floor with a loud thud and the suspicious crinkling and cracking of... Food wrappers? You freeze when this person sits on your bed – but they don’t stop there; they actually get into bed with you, which means it’s definitely not your roommate. This still doesn’t make you move, and you almost laugh at how completely fucked up a reaction that is.

“Guess again.” Mikey. It’s Mikey. You hadn’t even considered that possibility. How on Earth did you consider ‘murderer’ before ‘boyfriend’? But why is he here? He’s supposed to go to the movies and have fun, and leave you here until you’re ready to crawl out of this ditch of horribleness. You don’t want him here with you.

“Why aren’t you at the movies?” You ask timidly. He’s wrapping his arms around you and you’re resisting that, trying to think of the best and quickest way to send him packing. “Mikey, please leave. I need to be alone.”

“No.” What? What, ‘no’? “You want to be alone.”

“Yeah, same diff. Leave me alone, Mike. I want you to fuck off and go see the movie without me, and you just leave me here. Okay?” This fucking hurts. You don’t want to shut him out, but you can’t help it right now. Nothing feels right, you’re a mess, and no one needs to see you like this.

“No. Not okay. I’m not leaving.” He sounds angry. Annoyed, at least. And he’s right to be angry. You’re being horrible to him when he’s just trying to be nice. But you don’t want him trying to be nice to you right now. He’s probably only offering to stay because he feels he has to, or some shit.

“But you really want to see that movie.”

“Yeah, Sweetcheeks, I do. I really want to see that movie.” He sighs impatiently. “With you. I’m not watching it without you, so drop it. If we can’t go today, we’ll wait until we can. And if it’s not in theatres anymore by that time, we’ll rent it, or stream it or whatever, but I’m not watching that movie if you’re not next to me. Now stop being stubborn and let me hold you.”

There are tears in your eyes now, because of his little speech, and you’ve actually turned around in his – very persistent – arms.

“Hi, Sweetcheeks,” he says as he smiles down at you. “I’m happy to see your face.” As hard as it is for you to believe that, you can see in his eyes that he’s not lying.

Mike bends his head to kiss you, but you stop him.

“Baby,” he whines, but you shake your head.

“I haven’t brushed my teeth in days,” you admit. Heat surges through your cheeks, and it feels as if someone is sticking a million needles in them. The severely lacking ability to take care of yourself is one of your least favorite parts of this whole depression business. Not that the rest is a walk in the park, but being near Mike in your current gross state is embarrassing and horrible.

“Sweetcheeks, I don’t give a damn.” He kisses you hard, so hard that you are starting to think he’s doing this to make a point. “I’m crazy about you. All of you. And I’m still crazy about you when you’re like this. Although I wish you didn’t feel so shitty.” He moves off the bed again, dragging you to the edge of it as he goes along, where he scoops you up into his arms.

“What are you doing?” you ask as he carries you to the bathroom. Mikey sets you down on the toilet – the only place to comfortably sit in here – and starts to unbutton the flannel pajama shirt you have on.

“I don’t have the ener...” Mike interrupts you with another kiss as he keeps undressing you. He never tries anything, not even when he sees your boobs – although he does grin appreciatively for a second. You let him drag you into the shower, because by now you’ve figured out that resisting him is no use, anyway.

“Can you hold it together for maybe ten minutes until I get back?” He turns on the water, risking the clothes he’s still wearing. You nod.

“Mikey?” He turns around when he hears you call him. “Can you hand me my toothbrush?” Small steps, right?

When he comes back, he strips and joins you in the shower. Standing up was a hassle, so you’re sitting on the floor. He sits down behind you, with his legs on either side, and pulls your back into his chest. Mike helps you wash your hair, and your body, still not trying anything, even though he clearly has a boner from touching you all over. That doesn’t change when he dries you off and helps you into a pair of fresh pajamas.

“How do you feel?” Mike says when he wraps you up into the millionth hug.

“Better,” you say, avoiding his eyes. Yeah, taking a shower helps. It makes you feel better. But you just couldn’t do the thing. Why couldn’t you just do the stupid, silly little thing?

“Good,” Mike says, “let’s get to the rest of the evening.” He takes your hand and drags you back to your room.

“Jesus! Mike! You didn’t have to do that!” There are new sheets on your bed, and your pillows are piled in the corner, together with every stuffed animal you own, and several soft blankets. Ten minutes alone in the shower, and your boyfriend builds you a nest. It’s so sweet that you don’t even allow yourself to be embarrassed that you couldn’t change your sheets yourself.

“I wanted to. Because I wanna spend the whole night with you, watching movies, and cuddling. I brought snacks.” He looks kind of nervous when he says it. “Got you chocolate. Your favorite. But I’ll still go if you want to be alo-” The last syllable disappears into your mouth when you kiss him.

“Thank you, Mikey,” you say, no longer able to keep the tears from falling.

“You’re welcome. You deserve it.”

[queenofthursday6599-blog]

I often times mourn the fact that Yandere Simulator is what it is.

Like the lore is so deep and completely batshit, that just the life of Ichiko Saikou (who isn’t even going to physically appear in the game from what I know) has just the most insane backstory that Yandev could have someone turn it into a comic, or manga, and it’d be so entertaining.

Like her dad is a crazy eugenicist inventor, who wants to get revenge on the world because Japan lost WWII and had to give back a lot of the shit they took over from other countries. So he created a technology company, so he could get enough money and clout to basically start WWIII on his own. Only to realize in the 2020s that his family had more or less conquered the world anyway via their corporation.

He has 3 children, twin daughters and a younger son. He’s so arrogant that he stuck one of his teenage daughters into one of his inventions to prove to his investors how safe it was. Only to scatter her across time and space and erase her from living memory (only not completely because there’s a lot of older people who remember him having twin girls).

His remaining daughter, Ichiko, is raised from then on as the sole heir to the company. She has an incredibly sucky high school experience due to being very, very average grades wise. Which her classmates bully her for, due to her dad being an extremely well known, and recognized inventor, and her apparently not inheriting any of that.

After graduating from high school, Ichiko’s dad decides to create Akademi Academy, a post high school learning institute, that is basically just more high school. So that Ichiko can relive her high school years and create better memories, or for Ichiko to make up to him for the shame of her being just mediocre while she was in real high school. Who’s to say.

Anyway after she graduates from Akademi, Ichiko hightails it out of dodge, and starts looking for her missing twin sister. Travelling the world searching for the sister she’s convinced she has out there somewhere, not knowing that they’re separated by a bit more than physical distance.

So being heir to Saikou Cor. is passed to her younger brother. Who their father Saishou rigidly controls up until the day he realizes he’s already technically conquered the world, and igniting WWIII as a nearly 100-year-old man isn’t going to help anyone at all.

In reality, I imagine Ichiko was just depressed during high school, due to the Fun Girl incident.

She’d spent the first 14 years* of her life with a twin sister right beside her, only for her to suddenly vanish and leaving Ichiko with a hole in her life that she couldn’t really explain or articulate. Considering the fact that her twin didn’t just die, no she got wiped from existence and took most of the memories of her with her.

Not to mention the fact that Ichiko failing to measure up in high school academically could easily be explained by Fun Girl being more academically inclined. When Fun Girl got erased, she didn’t manage to take all memories of her with her, but she’s also Ichiko’s identical twin.

So the vast majority of memories of Fun Girl that weren’t erased, were instead misattributed to being memories of Ichiko. Meaning that a number of people, including her father and brother, likely have memories of Ichiko clearly being significantly intelligent in elementary and middle school, only to do “just okay” in high school.

[*Also Fun Girl had to be killed/erased from existence when she and Ichiko were in middle school. She’s wearing a Sailor Fuku, which is a middle school uniform.

She can’t possibly be wearing an Akademi uniform, she was erased years before the creation of the academy. So the only option is that she’s wearing a middle school uniform, from an actual middle school.

Meaning that she’s 15 at the absolute oldest, could also be 14, depending on when her birthday falls in the year and what time of year the incident happened.]

I’m betting that the Fun Girl Incident happened during her and Ichiko’s last year of middle school, because Ichiko is only mentioned getting picked on for being average in high school. And there’s no mention of Ichiko going through a sudden change in grades, or personality in high school.

This would also explain Ichiko’s attachment to sailor uniforms a lot. If the last time Ichiko was with her sister, and actually enjoyed going to school, was when she was in middle school. It makes some level of sense that she would insist on the sailor uniform being the Akademi uniform.

A.N: Thank you so much for your wonderful support and feedback my loves ! ❤ Here’s the next chapter, I hope you like it as well and please let me know what you think! ❤ Thank you! ❤❤❤

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader

Warnings: Enemies to lovers, lovers to enemies, fake dating, mentions of blood, sex, violence, death, manipulation, language, guns, knives.

Summary: Break ups are never easy.

Series Masterlist

A real spy, a good spy didn’t get scared.

That was one of the most important things they had taught you back at the academy. Being scared got you killed, so you always had to look for weapons or something you could use to save yourself.

Save yourself, take the target down if you can, and if you can’t; get out of there as soon as possible.

For some reason, none of those options felt like they would work against the most feared assassin in the world. Bucky tilted his head, his gaze bored into yours and you stole a look at the counter from the corner of your eye to see what you could use against him.

“Oh come on, do we really have to do that?”

You grabbed the knife on the counter, flipping it in your hand.

“What kind of an assassin would I be if I didn’t fight back?”

He pulled his brows together.

“Fight back?” he asked but before he could say anything else, you had already lunged at him. He dodged the knife way too easily and grabbed to twist your arm, but you went under his arm and jumped to wrap your legs around his neck, using the momentum to make him lose his balance before you both fell to the ground.

“Brings back the memories,” you grunted and he got out of your tight grip quite easily to grab at you, but you had already jumped on your feet. You darted at him and he sent you back, your back hitting the wall hard. You fell on your knees and snatched the knife off the floor but as soon as you got on your feet again, he let out a breath.

“I’m not going to hurt you, okay?”

A hysterical laughter escaped from your lips, “You do realize that it’s not my first day, right?”

“Do you seriously think I’d hurt you?”

“I think if somebody crossed me the way I crossed you, I wouldn’t let them live.”

“Yeah well, good thing I’m not you.”

You frowned slightly, trying to catch your breath as you held the knife tighter.

“Then what the fuck is this?” you asked, “Closure?”

“Oh no I think we’ve had closure,” he said, anger dripping off his voice, “This is a transaction.”

You stared at him and he reached into his pocket to pull out a thumb drive.

Well.

Okay. It was clear that you had misread this situation.

You put the knife on the table and crossed your arms, leaning back, “What is that?”

“This is the information of everyone I hurt on my Winter Soldier days,” he said, “Dates, names, occupations…. Your father’s name isn’t on it.”

Your stomach did a painful flip, “I know,” you rasped out, “I… um- I found out after I left that night.”

“HYDRA doesn’t have anything on your father, as far as I’ve seen.”

You nodded slowly, “And you’re helping me why?”

“I’m not helping you,” he stated, “I just know how it feels to be manipulated into doing something. Everyone deserves answers, no matter how terrible people they are.”

Well, you deserved that and much more.

“I see,” you said, “Well, for what it’s worth, thank you.”

He eyed you up and down silently.

“Why did you try to get me out of the country?” he asked after a beat, “That night? Why did you try to help?”

You bit inside your cheek, commanding yourself to stay strong.

“Does it matter after this point?” you asked back and he let out a breath, shaking his head.

“I guess not,” he mumbled and walked to the window, making you take a step towards him.

“Can I—“ you spoke before he could jump out, making him turn around to look at you, “Can I ask you something?”

He shrugged his shoulders.

“Why would you not want revenge?” you asked, “It’s assassin 101. Why not come after me for all these months?”

Why didn’t you try to find me?

That was what you wanted to ask. As twisted as it was, you would’ve taken him coming after you over him forgetting about you.

Well, as it turned out, no one could say assassins were reasonable people when it came to romance.

“I’m not that person anymore,” he said, “And honestly? You’re not worth it.”

Ah. That.

You could swear your heart was cracking but you pursed your lips together, forcing yourself to look unaffected.

“Fair enough,” you rasped out and took a deep breath. “Goodbye Bucky.”

He swallowed thickly, his gaze fixed on you.

“Goodbye Shrike,” he murmured and jumped out of the window, leaving you all alone, standing there in the middle of your apartment. You blinked back the tears, then ran a hand over your face.

“Get your shit together,” you murmured to yourself, then grabbed the wine glass to down it.

                                             *

The next day you were so busy with the HYDRA files Bucky had given you that you barely noticed Keith pulling a seat to plop down beside you.

“Hi there.”

“Hey,” you said without pulling your gaze off the screen as Keith put a cup of coffee on the table. “Thanks man.”

“No problem. What’re you working on?”

“Oh just some old files.”

“Old files? Where did you get them?”

“Bucky gave them to me last night.”

Keith sputtered out his coffee, causing you to make a face and grab the napkins to wipe the screen.

“Is this your first time they let you out into the real world or something?” you asked him, “Like, what is this? Were you raised in a barn? I don’t want your fucking germs—“

“Screw you. You met Barnes last night?” he lowered his voice, looking around and you shrugged.

“Met is the wrong word.”

“Y/N, what the fuck?”

“It’s not like I texted him to meet!” you whispered, “He just showed up!”

“Okay, we need to give you some protection—“

“No, and you’re not telling anyone.”

“You’re not safe!” he whispered and you shook her head.

“He’s not gonna hurt me.”

“Y/N-“

“He’s not,” you cut him off, “If he wanted me dead, I’d be dead. I talk big talk, but trust me if he came after me, I wouldn’t stand a chance. I actually saw that last night.”

“Why was he there?”

“To give me this thumb drive,” you said, “I’m just going through this HYDRA stuff to see whether they had something on my father, whether— I don’t know, whether I missed something on our files.”

“We checked everything we had on HYDRA.”

“I’m just making sure.”

“What did he say?”

“Hm?”

“What did you talk about last night, when he showed up?”

“You know, typical break up stuff,” you murmured before peeling your eyes off the screen. “He broke into my apartment, gave me a thumb drive with top secret information and oh—before I forget, he said I wasn’t worth going after.”

He blinked a couple of times, staring at you.

“I’m sorry?”

“So much for civil exes huh?”

“More like evil exes,” he commented, “You know he’s being a jerk to you because you tore his heart out, right?”

“I can’t really blame him,” you muttered, “He’s right to be upset.”

“But are you okay?”

You scoffed a laugh, “I betrayed the one person who I could see a future with,” you admitted, “And six months apparently wasn’t enough to get over him. So no, Keith, I’m really not okay.”

He pressed his lips together.

“What if we got you out there? You know, maybe you can’t get over someone without getting under someone.”

“I’ve had sex in the last six months, that’s not working.”

“Barnes hasn’t.”

That was enough to make you turn your head, your whole attention on him.

“What?”

“We’ve um… we’ve kept an eye on Barnes and Wilson, you know, what they have been doing. Barnes isn’t even meeting people.”

“Maybe he is and you don’t know.”

“Nope,” he said, “He and Captain America have been going on their own missions, but since Accords 2.0 didn’t pass, we can’t touch them.”

You tilted your head, “Hold on, what missions?”

A big grin pulled at Keith’s lips.

“Y/N, are you asking me to share classified information with you?”

You arched a brow and eyed you up and down, then steered your office chair a little to the left.

“I’m glad you came back,” he said, dragging his fingers on the touchpad to find the files, “Things were getting a little boring here.”

                                                    *

As a spy, finding targets wasn’t something you were unfamiliar with. In fact, since coming back here you were beginning to feel less like a professional spy and more like a rookie in training. You were growing restless every minute you weren’t working, and maybe that was why you were dying to keep yourself busy with something.

Even if that something was completely forbidden by your agency and you would probably be sent to another country again if they ever found that out.

So searching for where Bucky and Sam were using the agency’s resources was probably a bad idea, yet there you were.

You took a deep breath, then approached their table and plopped down to the seat next to Bucky’s.

“You’re going after HYDRA’s leader?”

Bucky’s head whipped up and Sam gawked at you for a second before pulling his brows together.

“What the…”

“Who’s your source?”

“What are you doing here?” Bucky asked through his teeth and you crossed your arms.

“Paying back the favor.”

“Well don’t. I don’t want you here.”

“How did you even know-“

“I’m a spy, Sam,” you stated, “And the agency has been watching you, do you guys seriously think we've left you alone?”

“I was actually hoping you’d leave me alone, yeah.” Bucky growled through his teeth and your heart dropped to your stomach, but you managed to shake your head.

“I don’t—“

“Your agency has been keeping tracks on us?”

You nibbled on your lip, “Just because Accords 2.0 was a failure…” you trailed off and Bucky scoffed, drumming his metal fingers on the table.

“Why are you here?”

“Listen I get it, you hate me,” you said, “Fine. Not a big deal, I can live with that. But I just- I can help.”

Bucky stared at you as if he was waiting for you to say you were joking, but when you didn’t, he let out a bitter laugh.

“You’re not serious, right?”

“Bucky,” Sam said warningly and he threw his hands up.

“You can’t possibly be entertaining this.”

“I’m just asking what the agency knows, that’s all.”

You heaved a deep sigh, trying your hardest not to show your disappointment on your face. It wasn’t like you expected Bucky to welcome you, but you were at least hoping—

Well.

It didn’t matter what you were hoping, it was very obvious that Bucky would never forgive you.

“They’ve just been keeping tracks on you,” you said, “I don’t think any of them put the clues together, and they can’t touch you even if they did, you’d have to do something first. Especially after the last fail—“

“Oh you mean when they took me in after you lied to me about everything and leashed them on me?” Bucky asked you, “That fail?”

You clicked your tongue, “Yeah. That one.”

“Un-fucking-believable.”

“Bucky.”

“But I’ve been going after different HYDRA officials for the last couple of years, and I’ve spent the last 6 months going over everything we had on them, I know some of their locations. So going after HYDRA leader then? Or his super secret location? Why?”

Bucky narrowed his eyes, “Forgive me if I’m not in a sharing mood after learning about what a liar you are. As far as you’re concerned, we’re not doing anything.”

“But I’m trying to make amends—“

“Not interested.” Bucky cut you off and you swallowed thickly.

“You’ve seen me fight,” you insisted, “You’ve— you’ve seen how good I am at my job, okay? I just— I swear I won’t say anything to the agency, just let me help.”

Sam looked between you two and turned to Bucky.

“That’s not such a—“

“Don’t say it.”

“Even you have to admit, that’s not a terrible idea.”

“You’d have to be crazy to think you can trust her,” Bucky argued back, “I get that you always want to see the best in people, but you can’t, not with her.”

“I’m sitting right here,” you reminded him and Bucky shrugged his shoulders.

“I know, feel free to leave.”

“Don’t,” Sam told you and Bucky frowned.

“You’re joking.”

“Bucky, she could help.”

“And then turn us in.”

“The agency lied to me about my father, I’m not going to turn you in or do anything to have me manipulated by them again. Whatever the mission is, they won’t know about it, you have my word.”

“Because your word holds any value for me?” Bucky asked you, his voice way too calm and you clenched your jaw.

“The mission doesn’t require a honey trap,” he said when you didn’t answer his rhetorical question, “Thanks for the offer though, Y/N. Go to hell.”

With that, he walked out of the café and you just sat there completely frozen. You could swear your heart weighed a ton in your chest, and your eyes were burning but you quickly blinked the tears back, then shrugged your shoulders.

“That went well.”

“Do you really want to help?” Sam asked after a couple of seconds of silence and you nodded.

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

You scoffed a bitter laugh, “Other than apparently signing my own death warrant?” you asked, “I owe him. He doesn’t want to go after me for using him, fine. He still deserves justice. HYDRA destroyed his life, the least I can do is help him get back at them, make them pay.”

Sam raised his brows, “You feel that guilty huh?”

You didn’t have any answer to that, and he took a deep breath.

“Can I trust you?”

“You can,” you murmured, “I want you to, but… I wouldn’t.”

“Okay. Let me rephrase the question, will you betray his trust again?”

There was no hesitation in your voice when you spoke, “I’d rather die.”

Sam held your gaze as if trying to see whether you were sincere or not, then cleared his throat.

“Let me think about it,” he said, “I’m not saying no, okay? Let me think about it and talk with him.”

You nodded slowly, “Thank you.”

He shot you a small smile, then walked out of the café, leaving you alone there. You shut your eyes, leaning your head back and letting out a breath.

“Great,” you muttered, “This should be fun.”

Chapter 25

[patrocles]

ok asoiaf/hotd thoughts…idk if there is even that much to say about this? but like. now that hotd is out and has been watched by a bunch of people and lots of interesting discussions have been had around it (and terrible ones but let’s ignore those for now)…i care even less about dany than i did before. and the idea of her restoring targaryen rule to westeros is The Worst. so now i’m just kind of like…what’s her point in the story??? i guess the dragons could help with the winter apocalypse stuff and fight the others and all that but dany herself? i just can’t picture her having a place in westeros at all, at least not in a way that i would find narratively satisfying. and this also ties into the idea of jon embracing his targaryen heritage (gross) and getting the iron throne which would also be stupid bc we’ve seen the targs destroy each other and themselves and the country so sticking one of them back in charge is just ridiculous. and the two of them are probably the strongest candidates for “the prince that was promised” so what does this mean for that whole prophecy?? idk what my question is i’m just rambling at this point lmao…i guess i’m saying that twow and ados should partly be about the real End of the targ dynasty and if they’re not than idk what we’re doing here. sorry if this is nonsensical lol

okay so both of these are kinda asking the same questions so i'll talk about it here!!

the idea of targ restoration is one of those theories that has a couple different interpretations and the one you described is like, kinda the worst of them lol.

like the idea of dany winning and surviving the end is not an unfounded, nor irrational theory and no one is wrong for wanting that to happen-- why shouldn't she win versus anyone else if she maneuvers in the right ways and effectively wins the game!

i think what i personally take issue with is the version of this that posits dany's conquest as a Moral Good and something that NEEDS to happen because of nebulous down-the-road threat that she doesn't even know about yet. and that other characters arcs (jon's, tyrion's, varys even?? are all veering towards targaryen restoration). i've even seen them claim that the entire point ASOIAF as a whole is about targ restoration. nothing else matters its all about getting them dragons back in power, which i think is the most WILDLY insane thing i've ever heard in my life.

i think this theory of 'targ restoration' is one that wants to have it both ways- for dany to fight and win a war of conquest, but also not be seen as a villain because of it (because of the fans own need to be on the Moral Right of things) (there's a larger discussion here about fandom and morality politics especially in asoiaf)

and frankly... that just isn't how it works.

and this is mainly bred from dany stans who never wanted dany to be anything other than a 100% Good Person who cannot be challenged on a moral level and she is always on the right side of every conflict regardless of nuance. and so when HOTD makes up this whackadoodle prophecy of aegon NEEDING to do a conquest and he was totally justified in all the fucked up shit they did, it was because of some vague threat of the Others and the Long Night to justify their dynastic claims to Westeros. (i'll be honest, i think ole king joe made that one up)

not to mention i think they've completely lost sight of the narrative function of the targaryen dynasty as a relic of a bygone era and dany IS the last of it.

and if we're being completely honest, from what i've seen of the most hardcore targ nation stans, most of them don't really care about the prophecy or the threat of the Others, but that her capacity to help should be used as political leverage (as in the show) to enforce the subjugation of everyone else. and that in fact, they should be grateful because she's the ultimate yass queen girl boss slay etc

but if that's the takeaway you get from the Feudalism Is Bad And The Chair Is A Metaphor For It books, then idk what to tell you. there's a lot of ways that you can interpret what grrm writes, but i can promise you that Conquest Is Good Sometimes is not one of them. characters want to be their own heroes and will always justify themselves however they need, but that's not the intention the reader is meant to take away from it - or at best should feel challenged by.

and dany is absolutely one of those characters. even tho she's not my personal favorite, she's a character that you're meant to both sympathize with because you've been on this whole journey with her, but also be challenged by the hard decisions ahead. its not about cut and dry good/evil, but understanding her motivations and why she makes those choices.

i think it's no question that dany will play a major part in the conflicts to come in the north and the war against the white walkers. to what capacity, i have no idea. as azor ahai, as nissa nissa? as somehow both? no idea. but what i think ultimately what dany will have to war with internally, will be choosing her war of conquest (the thing that's defined her personal growth and all of her strength) and the war for humanity.

the reason why i hate 'targ restoration' is because it reduces so many characters into this wildly simplistic box based on dynastic lineage. i super hate the inclusion of tyrion in this theory because he is Not a targaryen and that isn't the point of his story at all. and even tho jon's father is rhaegar, a large part of his arc revolving around identity is him carving out one for his own. all for him to start going by 'jon targaryen' in the end??? i litchrelly hate it. i do think jon and dany's arc are going to intertwine in some way and i hope its way more compelling than it was in the show, at least for my own sanity.

and lastly to the point of what dany's place in the world will be, i think that's something she struggles with now and will also struggle with in the future. there's the surface level wants and broad-stroke politics, but what i think is interesting will be to see a character like her rise to the heights that she will no doubt achieve in terms of Plot, but all she wants is the house with the red door.

there's an innate tragedy to just wanting to be as safe and home as she was when she was five, even if it was temporary, and what it will mean for her to ever have that again. this is really the difference between her and her brother viserys. he DOES remember, that WAS his life and his insanity is fueled by that being stripped away like so many other children in war. but it was never dany's. idk what the end of the series means for dany, but i really cant see the end of her story being with her sitting on that throne and restoring that dynasty from hell.

Previously...

Then y'all had another round of hot steamy sex. And the others at the base had a hard time sleeping that night.

«••••••••••••••»

Your eyes twitch at the unpleasant light hitting it directly. 'It's morning already?' you moved around only to feel wet sheets. 'What happened last night?'

Then you felt a body move and a muscular arm grab you, pulling you closer. You could feel the warmth, and muscular chest pushed against your back.

'Oh! That's right!' now you remembered why you were all sticky and sleeping against Chris. 'I had sex with my superior! But he felt the same.'

Then you felt Chris move around and waking up. "Hey, baby boy," Chris said with a raspy and deep voice. "Morning." you pressed your lips against his.

"If you continue, we may have to repeat what we did last night, baby," Chris growled as pulled back, gripping your waist. You smirked before getting up.

"Come one, we have to get ready. We have important business," you said. "Ugh, can't we just sleep in and have some... Fun?" Chris complained.

"I know you haven't had sex in 5 years but we need to go get those people. We'll have fun at the end of the day," you said stressing your muscles and popping your back.

The bed creaked meaning he finally got off his ass to get ready. "We need to go get those survivors. And scavenge for more supplies," you said putting your armor on and fixing it up.

After you both got your gear and weapons, you both walked into the main area with all the others.

Everybody looked at you both and immediately looked at way. There was awkwardness in the room. 'They must have heard me last night!' Hell! maybe the whole city heard it is quiet

"Uh,- sir... We have a situation." one of the soldiers said. "shot." Chris said. "Well... it turns out there weren't that many supplies found on the campus. We need more supplies if weren't gonna go get those survivors." the soldier said

You heard listening but your mind began to wonder. You still couldn't let go of the past, you remembered one of your siblings was accepted into MIT. This was 3 months after the Raccoon City Incident.

You would see on the news- Raccoon City survivors being discriminated against by the American people. "Hey, what do I keep saying?" Chris said next to you. His conversation was done.

"Stop thinking about the past, it's long gone," you replied, mimicking his voice. Chris laughed, "Okay, baby. But we need to go get those people."

You nodded but kind of chuckled at the fact that he didn't want to do anything today but now wants to do business.

"Come on, M/n! We have to get going. EVERYONE, protect the base at all cost." Chris commanded. "YES SIR!" they all said at the same time.

You, Chris, and a few others left the confines of the base. Even though it was morning, the sky still had a grey color to it. You open the door to the back seat and closed it.

"We should be there in 20 minutes or less." the driver said starting the engine up. "Alright, let's go." the armored car pulled out before driving down the messy road.

It wasn't long before you reached the waterfront. You could see the skyline perfectly, most buildings were on the verge of collapsing. Others were burnt to where the wall showed the skeleton.

Up ahead, you saw a bridge leading into Cambridge was destroyed. 'Longfellow Bridge.' You have been to Boston before and got to explore everything before the world went hell.

The ride continued for a while. There was nothing or anyone in sight. You could see the freeway ahead but like all other ways leading into Cambridge was destroyed.

"We're closing in on Bunker Hill. They said they are taking refuge by the monument." one of them said.

And wouldn't you know it? In the distance, you could see the tall granite obelisk peaking out. It kind of looked like the one down in D.C. but this one is still standing.

What you meant by "This one is still standing" is because the capital was hit by a nuclear warhead, along with other cities across the US.

The President and other government officials were evacuated and the countries important documents were evacuated as well. So, the legacy of the US would still live.

That means the President is still alive and is in some remote area devoid of zombie life.

"I see some people! They appear to be walking around." one of the soldiers said. And the people seem to notice us because they were waving at us.

"Stop the car," Chris said, the car stopped. He and others got out. Two of the survivors looked familiar? Like you have seen them before. They both were tall and had beards.

They walked up to y'all. "Please, are you here to rescue us?" one of them pleaded. "Yes, we're here to take you to our temporary base," Chris said.

They all smiled and some hugged each other. Chris ordered the soldiers to help some things and you approached the two survivors. "Why do you two look familiar?"

One of them laughed and smiled. "Well...- are you fan of Captain America and Thor?"

Your jaw dropped and your eyes widen. "No. Way. You're Chris Evans and Hemsworth!" you were lost at speech. "I thought y'all was dead! I- how-"

"Well, we survived! I'm not too sure about the others though..." Chris H said with that thick Australian accent. You both were just talking, unknown to Chris R was glaring holes into your head.

After y'all returned to MIT Dorms, you still talked with Chris E and H. You didn't even acknowledge Chris R's glares.

He was getting more and more jealous. 'I hate those two!' Chris yelled in his mind. They were taking your attention from him.

"We have to go M/n! We need to find supplies." Chris yelled at you. 'What's wrong with him?' you thought to yourself. "Bye guys!" You waved at the two Chris.

"He was fun to talk to." Chris H said and Chris E agreed.

«••••••••••••••»

TIMESKIP (To Supermarket)

«••••••••••••••»

You and Chris arrived at the market. There were some abandoned cars in the parking lot. "Come on." You both walked to the doors and opened them.

The place was absolutely trashed. Lights flickering, aisles tipped over, some cans on the floor - also money, which was useless-, and the roof caved in on the left side.

"Look for non-perishables. Canned food would be good and find any water- if there is any that is." you nodded your head before going down one of the aisles.

There were some canned foods but no water. The smell of a rotting corpse filled the air, you could hear flies buzzing. "Ugh." you covered your nose and looked at the rotting corpse. "Poor bastard..."

Meanwhile, Chris was looking for the same stuff, but he was still bitter about you talking to those guys. And completely ignoring him. He could already imagine your punishment.

He could imagine you begging for more, feeling the tightness of your ass wrapped around his cock. 'Shit.' Chris was getting hard. His cock was feeling restricted by the tight pants.

"Hurry up, M/n!" Chris yelled from the other side of the store. "Okay!" you finished gathering anything you could find. 'Why are we leaving early? We have few more places to loot/raid.'

You left the aisles and made your way to the front doors. "Come on, we have to go." you both we made went to the vehicle and drove back to base.

You had found some supplies. 15 canned foods, and some water as well. It wasn't much, but it's something.

«••••••••••••••»

TIMESKIP (Arrival at the base.)

«••••••••••••••»

You and Chris arrived at MIT. You were gonna go talk with Chris E and H, but Chris R wasn't having it.

"Hey-" Chris grabbed your hand and began to rush to the room. Everyone knew what was gonna happen. 'Ah, shit- there gonna go at it again.'

At the room, Chris pinned you against the wall and latched his lips onto yours. The kiss rough, his much larger body pushed against yours shows the difference in size.

His tongue pushed against your teeth telling you to open them. You slowly pushed your mouth, Chris immediately pushed his tongue and invaded your mouth.

"Mmm-" you moaned into the kiss as Chris began to grip your ass. "Up." He growled into your ear. You wrapped your legs around his waist and continued to make out.

He lifted you and carried you to the bed. He slammed you onto your back before pulling away and attacking your neck. "A-ah!" Chris found your sweet spot.

"You belong to me, M/n! I claimed you that night we had sex last night!" Chris growled. "Strip." he quickly removed his clothes, leaving him in his boxers.

You could see the outline thick meaty cock. "You got hard from just kissing me?" you laughed. "You don't talk me like that! You're the slut here." Chris growled as he gripped and slapped your thighs.

You whimpered under the touch. "Look at you, whimpering under me. And your pathetic cock got hard from me hitting you. But let's see what this ass has to say." Chris said as he put your legs on his shoulders

You then felt his thick slicked fingers at your entrance. One finger slips in, your muscles immediately clenched at the invader. "M-mm." you gripped the sheets as his finger pushed deeper.

Then a second finger went in. You clench even more as it did a scissor motion. "Aagh!" you felt his fingers touch the bundle of pleasure. "You're ready."

Chris pulled his fingers out to see your hole doing a grabbing motion. 'Fuck... that's hot.' Chris threw his head back while jerking his cock. "Can't wait to pound this slutty boipussy."

You felt his fat tip push past your tight ring. "Mmm... C-Chris!-"

Smack

"YOU DON'T CALL ME THAT! You didn't learn from last time? You. Call. Me. Sir. You got that?" Chris growled/yelled. "Y-yes, Sir... It's just that... You're so big..." You whimpered.

Then with one Thrust, Chris pushed his entire cock inside. "See? You're taking all 12 inches of me! Fuck, so tight..." Chris groaned. His cock was touching your prostate.

His thick meaty cock filled your insides perfectly. Like you were made for each other. "Y-you're... splitting m-me... in two!" you moaned as you felt it throb and twitch.

"P-please... fuck me... make me your slut." you begged. Chris smirked before snapping his hips.

He began pounding into you. His big cum-filled balls smacked against your ass as he thrusts harder. "S-sir! Y-you feel... s-so good!" You moaned as you threw your head back and gripped the sheets tighter.

"You think those guys can fuck you like I do?! Only I can give you this pleasure, only me!" Chris growled as he thrust harder, hitting your prostate repeatedly.

You used the last of your strength to get up and wrapped your arms around Chris's neck. You clawed his back as he thrust more, you were sure those were gonna leave marks.

"Maybe those guys can give me more pleasure," you smirked at your fake statement. You heard a deep growl as Chris dropped you on the bed and flipped you onto your stomach.

"You fucking slut! Only I can give you this much pleasure! Those guys don't deserve you. Bet their cocks aren't as big as mines." Chris growled as he gripped your hips.

Sounds of skin-slapping and balls slapping against your ass filled the room and the others in the building had to hear it. The walls weren't soundproof.

Your cock was twitching, ready to release a load. "You're about to cum without me touching you! Well, I'm -FUCK- about to cum too." Chris groaned as you tighten around him.

"P-please... give me... y-your load!" You moaned as you arched your back to give Chris more access. "Want me to fill this slutty ass with my cum? Gonna... cum... soon!"

After 5 more thrusts, Chris reached his breaking point, and so did you.

"FUCK! I'M CUMMING! CUM WITH ME!" Chris groaned, he wrapped his hand around cock stroking it before you released it all over his hand. That was enough for him.

"FUCK!" you felt his cock twitch before pumping his hot load inside, filling you up to the brim.

*Breathing intensifies*

Chris collapses onto the bed right next to you with his cock still inside. You felt him pull out with his cum leaking out. "I'll never leave you for those two. My heart only beats for you," you said sincerely turning over to face him.

"I'll never leave you too. We'll be together until our time runs out." Chris said pulling you into a kiss filled with passion and love.

'There is still Love in a Hopeless World.'

THE END.

A/N: Finally this is done! I hoped you enjoy this, by 🍓Little Strawberries🍓!

[genderisareligion]

!! I’m new to the new radfem/terf community and I was wondering what your opinion on sex separatism and female only spaces is? (like stores, restaurants, hospitals, trains and schools all separated by sex.) I’ve seen a lot talk about it lately on tiktok saying it’s a good thing we should do, but do you think it would cause females more issues or would things be better? I’m not sure how feel about it (like how would it work for families), I heard they have sex separated trains in Saudi Arabia and they seem to like it. if you have any information I could use or know anyone who knows more about the subject I would really appreciate it (also sorry if I’m being annoying)

Having trouble finding info on sex separated trains in Saudi Arabia and I'm no expert on women's rights there so I could be wrong, but I'm assuming that in a country where adult women weren't allowed to do basically anything without the permission of a "male guardian" until 2019, that kind of sex separatism would be different from the opt in kind radblr is usually talking about. If the sex separated trains exist because of discrimination, because of the preexisting trend of men finding women too impure and tempting to be in public life with, that's a different thing than them existing on purpose by choice of the women in order to protect themselves from sexual harassment, such as the women only train cars in Japan

But yeah on that note in my opinion female separatism should be opt in and a choice for women who want to live like that. As a lesbian "misandrist" (stop murdering and raping so much and maybe I won't feel like separating lol) I could live in an entirely female community tomorrow for the rest of my life and be fine. As far as separatism causing us more or less issues, based on how often females commit crimes compared to males, I think on average these communities are and would be safer at the very least, though not automatic utopias. Whether or not they cause more issues than a mixed space would in part depend on the women involved and how they organize it, but. Some studies have proven that women and girls perform better academically in single sex spaces. Some studies have proven on average women are happier without marriage or children.

Still, some women will always prefer to live with men. They're free to do that. Do they need to be careful while doing it, based on statistics? Yup. But go on ahead. As much as I agree with most of the Combahee River Collective, I hard disagree with their stance on separatism, which I've found among other (usually het but not always) black women:

"As we have already stated, we reject the stance of Lesbian separatism because it is not a viable political analysis or strategy for us. It leaves out far too much and far too many people, particularly Black men, women, and children. We have a great deal of criticism and loathing for what men have been socialized to be in this society: what they support, how they act, and how they oppress. But we do not have the misguided notion that it is their maleness, per se—i.e., their biological maleness—that makes them what they are. As BIack women we find any type of biological determinism a particularly dangerous and reactionary basis upon which to build a politic. We must also question whether Lesbian separatism is an adequate and progressive political analysis and strategy, even for those who practice it, since it so completely denies any but the sexual sources of women’s oppression, negating the facts of class and race."

One can be a female separatist and against biological determinism. Hi. We exist lol. I'm not saying the fact that according to the FBI crime statistics males commit 96% of all rape means they're biologically hard wired to do so, no fucking way 'cause that would let them off the hook. They choose to do stupid and heinous shit just like the rest of us choose not to. "It so completely denies any but the sexual sources of women's oppression" sure, if one's reason for separating is entirely based on being a lesbian. Mine isn't, I have multiple reasons such as wanting my likelihood of being hate crimed in general to decrease, which I would still have if I were OSA, and I'm not sure I've encountered a pro separatist whose reasoning is that singular.
