Fandom Problem #5762:
I wish more fans would say they like friends to lovers (whether the trope itself or a pairing), because they earnestly love said cliché, as opposed to treating it as a "safety button" or acting like it's a requirement of them and the whole fanbase, just because any "problematic" pairings may become canon and/or are popular among a fanbase. No matter how many times you scream about it, (insert pairing here) is not romanticizing abuse. Just say you don't like it and stop making the character you wish ended up with said character instead, sound like a "nice" guy or girl. e.g., imagine the Drake meme: "shipping a character with someone they've clashed with before, but grow past that to something more. together. THAT'S OBVIOUSLY ABUSIVE!" VS "shipping that same character with someone who has SaVeD their life on MuLtIpLe occasions and feels very StRoNgLy about them and OwEs them a relationship BeCaUsE It MaKeS sEnSe." (Gurl... They. Just. MET. stop substituting something that is there for what isn't.) Also, gotta love when a (usually female) character is such a strong person, until they dare to step outside a subdued version of friends to lovers. After that, they're made of glass until fans say otherwise. Not only that, playing it safe is NEVER going to be the same as simplicity. Friends to Lovers has a lot of ground to cover, but the haters can't even touch grass. Thanks everyone who does this, you made TWO tropes boring.

-Huntress from the Empire-
Tumblr media
Sorry I haven't posted for so long, I had some trouble IRL and forgot to be active- BUT now I'm back! SO! Here are some mighty fine huntress, warriors from the Empire clan! They are from that same clan, yet they are all three so different! And I had a blast making them! (I really wanted to set a foot into my brain and give my gurls some more love, and provide them with art-)
-Meet Shi'kan!-
Tumblr media
A young blooded hunter, born from a powerful bloodline from the Enforcer Squad, her father being the Captain is born to be something great! Her goal to become an enforcer herself, gets closer within each day, as she improves her skills, she grows to be a very efficient role to become a lead huntress. But don't take her very flamboyant and feisty demeanor at first sight, she can truly become dangerous in the jungles! With her passion outside of hunting, she loves to put up a show, dancing a dangerous performance with her scythes and her flowy accessories.
-Meet Matra'ya!-
Tumblr media
Matra'ya. The matriarch. Leader of the Empire. She hasn't lost her elegance nor her burning soul of what it means to be a leader. She does everything in her might for what's best for the Empire and will fight teeth and tusk for it. She is calm and collected, taking part in what she finds most important, wanting only victory and safety among her people. She is strong, quick, and even young in spirit! With her hundreds of years of experience, she will always lay a great aura among her folk, even if sometimes she can be strict or even too cold, she only does what's best and takes consideration before acting.
-Meet Myr'vah!-
Tumblr media
With her top archery skills in her veins, Myr'vah became a mentor/teacher in her early years as a warrior. She teaches blooded who successfully passed their chivas. Those who have a passion for long-range shooting that isn't plasma caster, she has a good eye for, she usually expresses it with her very old funny accent of what is old spoken yautja language. Given her at first glance, she looks rather tough and cold, but giving her time to warm up her personality she would be one of the best teachers out there.
That is it, for now, hope ya enjoy it! :]

how to find things to cut with
anything that has a sharp point or can be made into a sharp point. eventually you kinda just know what you can use and adapt.
example:
the first thing I ever used was the metal on the top of a number 2 pencil, that holds the eraser to the wood. I bit the metal and eraser, the eraser came out and I could pull the metal off with my teeth. unfold the metal into a line and use as a razor, this will result in cat scratches mainly
you can use thumbtacks, metal wire, safety pins, or anything else like that to scratch as well.
the classic is the pencil sharpener, depending on the type of sharpener it could get difficult. I had one where the blade had a little metal tube where usually a screw is and was molded into the plastic, that was a hard one. usually you can just get the little bit out with the blade pretty easily. if it's the type that is part of the top of a little sharpener then throw ts on the ground or at the wall as hard as you can, best bet is the lil piece will be left.
alr, to get it out you ideally want a little screwdriver, flatheads work too ofc. if you don't have one, sometimes you can use your nail or a ruler. anything with a short, flat edge should do.
shaving razors are usually flimsy if you take them from a Gillette or Venus. they'll be small and thin and really hard to get out of the head that holds like 4 of those things and you have to be careful not to cut your finger, that's ultimately the goal ik, but I'm sure you don't want little knicks on ur fingertips. honestly, scissors like kitchen scissors help, you start with the sides that are pretty thin, but the top and bottom will suuuuckkk. dead fucking ass i use my teeth. when in doubt bite the shit out of it for real. there's really no advice for this method, just wing it 🫡
double edged razors are my pookie babies, I used to be scared of them but once I found one I had to keep it, like I sorta alr said I don't wanna be cutting my fingers and hands trying to cut my arms and legs 🙄 so I put it in a napkin and break it in half like you would for some of the shavers these are used for. then I've got a second blade that won't get dirty with this one and I won't forget which side I'm using. these are everywhere in the US, so tbh if you can't buy it steal ts 💀
BOX CUTRERS
oh GURL I don't even wanna correct that typo, if you get a good sharp one and not one of your dad's dull ones that he uses for boxes at work, GURLL. you be careful cus ask and you shall fucking receive. no retrieval method for this one, it's just there and ya crank it.
exacto knives will get you a good fucking styro ts got precision girl. and anything else like this, like those little paper cutter pens things those are similar. its harder to go long with these but they will be thick deep and juicy just like this pussy
GLASS break a mason jar and pick your fav, break a wine glass ur mom won't miss and pick ya fav, break a glass bowl, break a girl's glasses in the psych ward, etc etc like the options are limitless unless you like don't have any glass at all. these will usually give you a nice jagged cut, I've only gotten styro but glass usually makes you keloid scar so that's a plus.

i feel like there's not enough talk abt safe spaces 4 men getting mocked or invaded by women, like ppl go off constantly abt "men invading safe spaces 4 women" and how "women need safe spaces from men" but like i never c any1 wanna talk abt women who r not a part of the queer community invading queer only spaces and queer men only spaces and basically acting like queer men only safe spaces should double as safe spaces 4 them bc they c queer men (especially gay men) as a safe space 4 them bc of the assumption that none of us r gonna flirt w them
apart from the obvious bisexual erasure tho there's something they also usually fail 2 consider, a lot of queer men don't feel safe around women who r not also queer bc of the power in society that non queer women hold over queer men
just 2 b clear, im not talking abt pre transition transmascs or transmascs who simply don't want 2 medically transition, im also not talking abt queer women that ppl often 4get r part of the queer community like ace or aro women, im not talking abt heterosexual transfems im talking specifically abt women who do not identify as queer in any way who go into places that r specificly meant 4 queer men who don't feel safe around women 2 hang out in a safe environment w/ other queer men bc "this way they dont hav 2 worry abt guys flirting w them" and they just expect all of the queer guys 2 let this happen and b like "omg yas queen we r honoured that u would trust us lowly fags w ur safety like this" like gurl no, u r coming into a space that is meant 2 b a safe space 4 us away from u and acting like we should b proud or smth 4 making room 4 u, u realise we only do that bc we feel forced into doing so right? bc if we don't then u'll accuse us of being misogynists or u'll try 2 act like us not letting u into our safe space means u'll 100% get assulted and that that's more important than u possibly harassing us or our friends or assulting us or our friends or trying 2 make us or our friends completely reliant on u so u can turn us into ur new accessory
tbh this is 1 of the reasons i hate the phrase "the girls and the gays" ppl rly need 2 stop lumping us 2gether bc all it does is make it easier 4 women who r not queer 2 abuse us, queer men r not women, women who r not queer r not inherently our allies just by being women, he's not ur "bestie" he's afraid of u, he's afraid that if he doesn't play the part of being ur new accessory then u'll start saying some shit abt how "all gay men r predators anyway" u hav more power than u want 2 admit but u take no responsibility, if ur rly gonna stand there and say that "all men r trash until no men r trash" and justify it by "oh but men just hav more power in society than women do" then mayb u should start acknowledging the power u hav over others in society and start realising that manipulating queer men isn't the "girl boss" move u think it is, being a non queer woman doesn't make u welcome in queer men spaces it just means we feel pressured into pretending 2 b nice 2 u

The Thing Is - 4: Guilty Because Wanted Guilty.
Listening to the playlist WHO IS A HAEGUM.
[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]
–🐺–🐺–🐺–
⚠️TW - Imma be unnecessarily honest. I’ll curse A LOT. I’ll mention human depraved actions while still censuring them, but yeah. I need to put my heart in peace, so I can advance in this “war” feeling less angry/frustrated/aggraved and hopefully a bit more savvy. ⚠️
My dear Gurls, Bois and Enbys,
Hope you are handling life with better wits about yourself than I am. I’ve tried to look at all sides in this "SK-Media Sich" we are in, I’ve been crying, ranting and yelling during Mercury Retrograde and I’ve been silently nodding my way through the past couple of days, but surprise-surprise, I’m done with alla dat, so I’m here to bitch and let bygones be bygones. I just gotta do it loudly if not my brain will not register, cause you know I’m getting old an all.. And by bygones I mean, the hope that SK Media will, somehow, see the light and rectify their ways.
Tumblr media
SK-MEDIA 👏🏾 DOESN’T 👏🏾 LIKE 👏🏾BTS.
The quicker we get that engraved in our skulls the easier EVERYTHING will get.
They absolutely never had, they presently definitely don’t, and most likely never will. Media is a profession, and like every profession they need money, to make a living you know, like I do, and you do. However, there are certain jobs which have a moral code that should be higher than others. Such as doctors, lawyers, law enforcement officers, to name a few, as they are directly involved with the safety of citizens/civilians. Media, in the big year of 2024, should also be considered directly involved with the safety of citizens/civilians. 
Media is supposed to be the eyes and ears of the citizens, so that, among the many things, we can be properly informed, in order to make the rightful judgement and/or be warned of dangerous situations we might encounter, so that we can be properly prepared. All the while, presenting themselves with integrity, by always upholding good ethics and abiding by a wish of reporting truthful news. Well, my people, SK MEDIA HAS MANAGED TO DO NOT A SINGLE THING OF THE AFOREMENTIONED.
NOT ONE.
Tumblr media
To begin with: They are fucking bullies. 
Honestly you need to look no further, no k-drama, no old-school urban legend, just figure out who they hate and you’ll have A-Team Bully Squad What?! You thought all those years of bullying, or being bullied, at school would have gone wasted once you graduated from the education system? Child … . Once they’ve found their target, complete annihilation is the goal. Did you drink a few? Caused no physical harm to anybody, damaged no property, but fell at the entrance of your property, mainly because of a sharp turn, took full accountability, and immediately apologised? 
AYTE, BET.
Fuck all the women in my country that have been finding it excruciatingly hard to live in their own country. Fuck the young girls who are being contantly s3xuall1 h4rassed. Fuck the upcoming generation suffering from so much collective generational trauma that they may not even make it past elementary school age alive. Fuck the fact that my own country is, for the most part, raising entitled male brats, who don’t fundamentally understand the value of life. Fuck the fact that when S-M Entertainment was created, they unfortunately ended up also creating the foulest and most flawed system for success, aka the Idol Sytem. FUCK ALLA DAT. You don’t go through SK Media to guarantee your success? You don’t pay us to keep your darkest secrets? You offended us in some kinda way? You are not part of the Elite? … You are a woman? … We will end you, bro! Illegally or illegally, cause, who’s gonna stop us?
… And you wonder why K-ARMY has been acting like they have? 
And I am not talking about the ones who became anti, FUCK THEM TOO, they are the type of people, who would kick out their own children if they were caught doing the same thing, instead of figuring out causes, teaching accountability and figuring out punishments and future prevention. I’m talking about the K-ARMY who presently are so paralysed by fear that they are scared of even breathing in the fear that perhaps their government/police/media will create some inexistent crime and pin it on 🐱cause we all know how fact checking is paramount and still alive nowadays … 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡. Even as we speak, K-ARMY fear that Samsung might decide to drop 🐱, which hey, it’s your country, do what you gotta do, I can almost guarantee you that Apple is probably literally outside the door waiting for their opportunity, cause here in the West we have our 99 big issues, but an inebriated kickboard, ain’t 1. 
They are living this Black Mirroresque kinda reality everyday. You know who else is? 🐱. He is also very aware of how things work in his country UGH! does after all have a reason for existing, can’t stress this enough … and though he definitely would have the right to contest unnecessary mistreatment, he knows he will definitely “die” before he even “attempts to get to the top of that hill”, which is why after he’s done all he needed to do, he’s handeed himself to the A-Team Bully Squad for their Exclusive + Deluxe Treatment reserved to the likes of 875. 
Tumblr media
Y’all want an extreme example? Here we go:
Picture Germany, 1943 yes I’m going there , their Media at the time was completely controlled by their government, hence allowing them to report lie after lie after blasted lie to their citizens, in addition, from the testimony of many a citizen citizens swore up and down to not know what was going on the concentration camps, just “people would go in, and never come back out …”. So it was that many German Jews because lets not forget that they were all German, just not “aryan” , decided to either find ways to fight which will almost certainly ended in them being k1lled, or just directly un4live themselves rather than being subjugated to that hell, the majority as we all know, had no other choice but to comply. 
Yet we do have the likes of Schindler, who managed to save hundreds of German Jews. How did he do that? He most certainly did not try to go against the Media or the government in power, I can guarantee you that. He found other trusted non-Jew Germans, who had contacts with Allies, who had other contacts and so on and so forth. But it was all covert. After all the Allies existed, they were fighting the war, they all knew what was going on in Germany and eventually they found their way to get in and help put an end to it all. 
In this horrendous scenario, I-Army are the Allies and K-Army is Schindler, but unfortunately, I have no idea how we can help them, because it has to come from them to us, not the other way round, as we know nothing about how to deal with things over there, BUT, if they need help they all know where to find us and how to get the help they need without attracting unwanted gazes, I’m sure of that. So we must let them be and we will be here for them if/when they need. 
While the rest of the world slowly keeps finding out about the SK Media Clown Show, we’ll keep doing our “storming”. We won’t be silent, we’ll keep reporting injustice, we’ll keep fact-checking and make sure that people also do the same, we’ll keep reporting fake/anti accounts, we’ll keep sending fan letters even if it is just 3 per month now we’ll keep buying merch, we’ll keep streaming songs, we’ll keep doing projects in their name, etc etc etc. 
I will never surrender.
Because they are worth fighting for.
Tumblr media
Good. I've let it all out. Now it's time to go report some k-anti accounts!
Always respectfully yours 🫰🏾💜,
Marengo.
FUTURE IS GONNA BE OKAY, LET'S HANG IN THERE Y'ALL!

Hiya! 🍓 and 🍄 for the writers truth and dare ask game?
Hi hello and thank you so much! :D <3 How did I get into writing fanfiction. Well, I was watching my favorite TV show at the time with which I was obsessed and I thought, “Fucking hell, they’re gonna mess up this relationship dynamic next episode, aren’t they?” And I was just like, “Welp, I better write what I think they ought to do before they fuck it all up I guess.” 
What I wrote was pretty shit, but I guess good enough, because this fandomer—and I would say she was the equivalent of a @capiturecs or @sitp-recs in HP fandom, somebody who made it their business to read a LOT of fic for the ship and who would readily hype and rec new and old writers alike—found my fic right away somehow and was like, “Oh, you need to post here and here and here,” and taught me about Yahoo groups (this was in 2001, I believe), and the rest is pretty much history. I simply never stopped. 
Share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings. 
LOL as soon as I  get one I tend to write it into a fic, so I’m not altogether good at spontaneous head canons, I don’t think. Hmmm. I guess one of my favorites—and this isn’t a pairing thing—is that Harry and Ginny both realize their queerness through failing to make their own relationship work post-war. I mean, they had this crush in their school years almost entirely based around perceptions of who they were at the time and not necessarily the reality, and certainly not the reality of who they would become. Plus I think Harry conflates safety and love with all things Weasley, as naturally he would, and thus is like, oh hey, here’s the very heterosexual next step it seems like I should take toward maintaining that safety and sense of belonging for the rest of my life. And Ginny. I just want to be like, gosh, gurl, go find yourself! And I think she might find herself interested in pussy. 
Thank you so much for the Ask! These were super fun questions! <3

So again the anon that asked about Maegor breastfeeding, cannibalizing his alive babies, the gurl dad Maegor and I just wanted to say I adore your writing!! ♡⁠(⁠Ӧ⁠v⁠Ӧ⁠。⁠)♡
I absolutely adore the way you write Maegor and make him so creepy, I am so happy to have found someone that's obsessed with Maegor like me and again I wanted to ask you (I know I've been asking too much, please take a break if you need it) what would Maegor do if his little princess killed herself when she found out that she needed to marry someone or died mysterious.
Oh and one more ask (it's definitely not for my self insert fanfiction 👀 and again totally get it if you don't wanna answer my asks) how would the Targaryen Dynasty or Maegor (if you only do him) react to a kingdom or emperor where the royal family are Dracotaurs (Half-man, half-dragon people, in my fanfiction they aren't lizard people but humans with dragon features like dragon horns, scales on their skin and are able to turn into big ass dragons)
Haiiii!!! No worries! Your asks have actually made me really happy this past couple of days! I actually have never written any fanfiction on Maegor before, mostly because ASOIAF as a piece of literature intimidates me, so i am really happy that you like my little bits of Maegor!
I think the reaction depends a lot of the way of dying. Nobody reacts the same to a violent and impressive death than a slow but clearly progressive sickness that may cause death. Depending of the way of his little princess dying he would react differently, but the constant is the same: Rage. Rage to her ladies-in-waiting and septas and guards that did not secured her safety, Rage to the Maester for not being able to do anything to save her, Rage to her, because, how dare she to do such a thing to her life? Have he not been a good father to her? Look how the tantrum she throwed ended! And now Maegor is alone! She left him alone! She abandoned him! Perhaps, on the deepest of Maegor's mind, he also is rageful against himself, because he know that somehow he caused his little girl to take such decision... but it is just in the back of his mind, like a distant echo that it is only heard when it is all dark and he is not able to sleep.
As for an empire of Dracotaurs, i think it would literally flip the Targaryens world upside down. For centuries they tought that they were the only family that holded the power of the dragons. That itself gave them excuses to believe themselves different from the rest of Westeros to the point of have a permit to commit incest. To see another dynasty that not only have some parts of dragons but are dragons themselves would make them all defensive, that dynasty are not dragonriders, they are THE DRAGONS THEMSELVES!

Hello Miss Karrde!
So unfortunately I don't have as comprehensive a list as last week, I'm behind my reading. BUT I got two Zingers for ya and maybe a small self rec for consideration.
You know that this Gurl has been having all of the thirsty Boba Thots! @daimyosprincess Has once more QUENCHED our collective thirsts with this latest in the Ex Libris (Acknowledgements) series..... So frickin' Hot! But the absolute trust and care and THE FEELS!!!!!! READ IT!!
The Latest in the Shades of Dates (Safety) By the Amazing @rain-on-kamino Has yet again knocked it out of the ballpark! Come on all my clone girlies who doesn't want a date at the Range with Hardcase!!!! Especially when it gets.... Hands on....
NOW This Rec also comes with a Plead for Help!!! @rain-on-kamino has been falsely flagged!! If you love the Shades of Dates (and all of Caro's Amazing Works!) Please go read and reblog and Whatever other Voodoo we can to help get this fixed!!!
My last little submission is a lil Boba Fett Fic (Such a Tease) that I did a lil while back. Cause dang if that man is gonna sit like that on his throne and .... oh yeah..... Please enjoy the result of my Brain turning to Jelly for Boba.
As always Thank you for what you do! and I can't wait to read the latest chapter in One step at a Time! I finally caught up and I was so happy that Arni could show Chuckles that it wasn't his fault! (I knew it wasn't! I knew it!).
Tumblr media
AHHHH these are all top notch recs! Dom!Boba just hits DIFFERENT, and both your fic and Zwei's fic CHECK THAT BOX hehe. And I adore Caro's series and how each clone is so distinct in their personality and relationship with reader! Also, BOOOOO to the flagging. The flags really are making things harder to get traction around here. Hopefully this will help out a bit!
And I'm SO GLAD you're digging One Step at a Time! I've got BIG plans for this series and it's really coming together (and I'm adding all sorts of post-it and scribble notes to my idea notebook IT'S GONNA BE GREAT!).
Thanks so much for the recs!
Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

The Saga comics for the fandom ask
Tumblr media
M/F OTP: as I told you I wanted to catch up with the comics (and Monstress for the other ask) before I answered this (65 issues so far... #66 initially came out next week but it's been pushed back to September)... but I strongly suspected what my answer was going to be lmfao.
The only romance I'm here for it's Alana/Marko. It's foundational to the story, it's impactful. I love the star-crossed shit, I love the real messiness in their marriage, and I love the PAIN and ANGST they cause me *cries in issue 54*.
And... they made Hazel. I love that girl to pieces. And not only did they make her but also they raised her like this:
[Redacted]: Last Night, [my son] and I had a disagreement. In the heat of the moment, I may have inadvertently… laid hands upon him. Alana: You hurt your own child?! Hazel (narrating): Despite all the violence I’d seen by then, this was the first time I had ever considered that parents could do anything but love and protect their kids.
Saga #52
Hazel (narrating): Dad’s folks used to hit him when he was a kid. The usual caveats: not a lot, only when he “really deserved it”, never too hard, they were just trying to raise a good boy, products of another time... you get the idea. Still, my father always felt it had done a number on him. So before Mom and Dad had me, they promised each other they’d never resort to spankings or whatever, no matter how much I might misbehave. And they never did. Even though I was plenty bad. Somehow, I managed to turn out all right.” Saga #54
Hazel's life is next-level chaos. One look at her -at the horns in her head and the wings on her back- betrays her mixed heritage between two warring empires and puts a target on her back. But these two, whatever their flaws might be, tried their hardest to give her safety and joy during her childhood against all odds and in conscious direct opposition to their own upbringings*, and I love them for that.
(excuse me I have something in my eye *sniffs*)
*we don't know as much about Alana's youth (yet) but we know her father ends up marrying a girl she went to summer camp with and that she joined the army "to escape" so err... yeah.
M/M OTP: well, if whatever ends up killing The Will has a male pronoun in my language, I'm all for that xDD
This is not even about him [spoilers]. I could balance that out with him saving Sophie. It's about how this motherfucker keeps surviving every single righteous and not-so-righteous assassination attempt on him and all the collateral damage it takes to make that happen ¬¬
But I guess Doff and Upsher were cute too LOL.
F/F OTP: none yet and I'd like the story to go there with some character tbh. Hazel, or Klara; a f/f love story could work for either of them.
OT3: when Petrichor said she'd be down for a threesome with Alana and Marko... get it gurl xD
Favorite Canon: Alana/Marko is the only thing I see.
Favorite Crack: Alana/Marko/Petrichor. Alas...
Guilty Pleasure: n/a.
Pairing I Hate: hate is a strong word but every time I see anything with Petrichor/King Robot or Gwendolyn/The Will... you women could do so much better smh xDD

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of The Ooze 1990 movie
So, I never received any spoiler for the other parts of this Trilogy. So, my prediction would be the Krang is here or somehow Shredder lived.
Ah yes, I think this Film might be sponsored by pizza
I think April might be the one who sponsee this pizza place on how many times she ordered for the guys
Keno, cool name, but Keno. No. Just stick to your route and you won’t get mugged or smth
Keno, how old are you? Maybe 15 from what I see… that might explain the impulsiveness on doing something this stupid
Oh wow, Leno got some moves
I’m not sure if they’re running away from being knowing their asses being kicked or the fact there are 4 large turtles
Oh! At least you didn’t slap yourself to know reality! That is a far more better way to do so!
Raph, don’t you, that kid might’ve suffocated there?
That thief is an idiot thinking Donatello is that back and forward toy.
If the turtle left Keno stuck there, he’ll die. Thanks to Dazai from BSD, that is one painful death to be in
Is Mikey always the smallest turtle now matter what iteration? I think Raph might be the tallest one here.
Mom April. At least she isn’t yelling. But yeah, it’s ironic the rat is the cleanest one
I swear Donnie needs to be diagnosed, I’m not in the spectrum meaning I’m not qualified.
Since when did you guys become religious–oh, smelling it… I guess Pizza might be the turtles religion
Splinter, why’s re you wearing your shredded robe? Get some new clothes please.
Oh wow, so it’s the 1990 and 2012 turtles had only begun their adventure at the age of 15. The only difference is the fact the 1990 turtles knows pizza before the 2012 turtles.
I should pay attention to the poster more. So, Godzilla would be in this movie? How meta
Tumblr media
Raph is the tallest and Mikey is the smallest. And Donnie and Leo have the same height.
Donnie is jokingly religious here since he did the sign of the cross for praying
So I was right on Shredder being alive
Shut up Tetsu, and why are we calling Shredder father??? Are we really in deep that cult mindset?
Oh, yah no. You’ll be called Tetsu instead Tatsu, that one is reserve who I actually respect. 2012 Tatsu.
Why are you talking like the stereotypical Caveman who talks in English but not supposed to
I like the new helmet design, but seriously. Get a new mask. And an overreaction to his face guys, he’s not ugly as 2012 Saki
TGRI sound awfully like TCRI. Don’t tell me this company is experimenting the Ooze on the water
Annoying little sibling Mikey
The professor sounds condescending. Getting bad vibes
“I’m paid to be suspicious” - April O’Neil 1990
What kind of worker are you?! Don’t you know safety first if it’s suspicious stuff??? YOU USE GLOVES OR ANYTHING TO COVER YOUR HAND!!!
Ngl, crunchy dandelions sounds satisfying
Oh nvm, Shredder your helmet is worse than your mask, I take back my compliment.
Same gurl, we both knew it
I have never seen you guys question yourself until you brought that up Donatello
Popping off Donnie!
Feels like they’re treating this like a game (no Shet Sherlock) shut up sergeant sarcasm
Tetsu, your very incompetent when you could’ve vanish when they were making a game plan. You could’ve vanish by not confronting them. This is why you can’t have your name correctly spelled from me
It’s in my head for a while, but is the Professor Baxter Stockman? Since the 1987 Baxter Stockman is a white man.
Keno, you can’t just go in someone’s apartment!
April you could’ve done with your cousin stayed over and forgot about them excuse, or saying it’s a collection
Yeah, fainting seeing a giant rat makes sense than fainting seeing a giant turtle
When are we getting Casey?
Especially teenagers… Probably for easier manipulation
Ugh, it looks like vomit 🤢
I’m not sure white coat is good to wear during the rain, April
They sure hit the jack spot
I like this Professor, despite being shifty, he got some balls to being sassy to the Shredder.
Pft—Oroku Saki, the Shredder, a mother of two mutants. Next thing we’ll know, Saki might win the milf award
That’s how infants are
What the hell?! I’m with the professor!
Well, the professor at least tried to make sure he’s sons aren’t killed the moment they were born.
Give them praise Saki, this is an important development for their age to be praised
Keno, NO! Raph, NO!
At least team work makes the dream work? Seriously, a bad plan.
I swear, Tetsu and Saki are boyfriends, like the minute Raph makes fun of Tetsu, Saki immediately went between them like protecting his bf
Leo, cut the rope! You still have your swords!
Splinter looks like Weasel or an Otter than a Rat
Tokka and Razhar… I can see Tokka being scary because the gimbal episode but Razhar? Nah, Chris Bradford got it
You know, I just realize this turtles fights individually and flashy like season 1 2012 turtles
In defense of the Professor, he thinks he’s being kidnap again
Aw, Donnie
Would you look at that, Saki is trying to be a mother for these mutant babies
What a prick
They should’ve frosted it instead
“Go ninja go! Go ninja go!” Didn’t realized this came from the 1990 tmnt
Damn look at those moves
The band is quite talented to make up this song on stop
The crowd thinking they got a play plus a musicale in this club
“I learnt that from a rat” - Keno 1990
This film has one of the best absurde lines
Now he looks cool and intimidating. Props to the costume team. Especially to Jim Henson
Did Shredder drown?
Of course Baxter couldn’t be the professor, Professor Perry is too cool
Oooh, here comes the scolding

So your gurl looked at the article. To be honest I don’t like earmuffing when people I disagree with I am talking because a) I want to know if I am wrong and b) to see why I disagree with someone and what made them think they way they do. In my personal opinion JK keeps looking at trans issues -and to be perfectly candid other groups she doesn’t belong to- in a very cold way. She always distances herself from groups she does not relate to and studies them just as experiments and social speciments. I don’t think she could ever be truly understanding if she keeps this way of learning of communities outside of her own and I can’t imagine her being friendly with anyone that is fundamentaly different from her. However my feelings on how the internet cancelled her is questionable. On one hand I think her opinions are uneducated at best and harmful at worst with her grievances around trans rights and the legislation surrounding trans health and safety. On the other hand I do not think that death threats should be the answer to this. The majority of posts I have seen have been boycotting the art that directly supports her financially and thus removing her power. There is always in every cancelling wave and extremely agressive people who just scream-tweet at the void and harass until they make their target fearful enough to be ostracized from the internet. I feel very strongly about this type of behaviour as I feel it underminds people’s actual concerns to JK Rowlings statements and makes the unaware think that this is simply an hateful meltdown by the alt-left.
Here is the article if you wanna stew in your anger like I did for a solid 30 minutes. https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/02/28/jk-rowling-witch-trials-podcast-episode-3-trans/

UGH!-10: Welcome, to the not-so-Magical World of Idols
I’ll be There & Who focused playlist
[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]
–🐺–🐺–🐺–
Howdy-do to all you smart Gurls, passionate Bois and brave Enbys!
I hope that you are doing well and that you are all packed and ready, as today, is finally the day. No, regrettably, we are not going to Oz, but we are off to a very treacherous, and to some bewildering, journey nonetheless. So grab your comfort whatever food, drink, plushie, etc and hold on tight cause it's about to be a looooooong and bumpy ride all the way to, and through; Idol World not the show by the way 😬.
Tumblr media
🛫 Once again, welcome aboard flight DSS-875. This is Captain Marengo speaking and I would like to share some safety information for your flight today. Though the topic at hand is Idols, we are only going to be discussing Male Korean Idols as this journey is aimed to eventually demonstrate how the boys from Bangtan could successfully manage to escape from said “World”. In order to do so we will be making use of a couple of Definitions and a bit of History, and as always, logical deductions and educated guessing will be applied. As of present, the weather on our route is a bit overcast, with some rain, and I do expect a bit of turbulence. That being said, I’d like to wish you all a pleasant flight and on behalf of myself, thank you for choosing Deep Space Sparkle as your airline today. ✈️
Let's go!
If, like me, you've unfortunately made it a habit to spend an unhealthy amount of time on the Blue Bird App, you will have noticed the increasing amount of abhorrence felt by Western fans with regards to the usual treatment of Korean Idols. Notice how I highlighted those two words? Yeah …Thing is, in our present day, a Korean Idol, and their Korean fans, will never be shocked at their blatantly unfair treatment. However, for us Western fans, who only have Boy Bands as a frame of reference, such treatment is unheard of, unacceptable, and just down-right stupid.
Tumblr media
Of Male Korean Idols and Male Western Boy Bands
The concept of Idol originated in Japan in the 1960s, and was later on adopted by Koreans as well in the 1980s. An Idol can be a musician, but can also be an actor, a dancer, a model, etc, whereas if you are part of a Boy Band, being able to sing is literally the one thing you should be able to do. Below is an excerpt found in the Wikipedia page talking about Japanese Idols, which I believe perfectly explain what an Entertainment Idol actually is:
Tumblr media
Let’s keep in mind the words Sell Dream and Escapism, it will come in handy later. Now, because of my “limited” experience with Japanese Idols, as you all know ARASHI is very dear to me, I’d like to offer my two cents on something I’ve been wondering about with regards to the name Idol itself. Below are the definitions of the words Idol and Ideal:
Tumblr media
For the longest time I've wondered if Japan named this type of entertainers Idols even though what they perhaps meant was actually Ideal? But then Ideal doesn’t sound as powerful as Idol, does it? Regardless, at the end of the day, that’s exactly what an Idol is; an Ideal. An Ideal that is being “sold” for lack of better words and fans can “buy” this Ideal, which was made specifically for them I mean when you think about it now, in 2024, it is a terribly dangerous “product”, but in the 1960s, they probably couldn’t even imagine things like cellphones would exist so …. In comparison, we in the West never had high expectations for our Boy Bands. Sure, dancing was fun if there was any, but we didn’t really care if we did AJ would have gotten the love he deserved 😩 all we needed was a handsome face singing about how they were gonna love us forever. Literally, that was it. The definition of bare minimum.
Eventually, once we’d grow up because don’t forget that Boy Bands are primarily considered a teen phenomenon …, so would our Boys in the Band, and we would fully expect them to fall in love with someone, preferably us, but still someone. Eventually when they would fall in love and get married, sure, there would be some fans crying cause, “it should have been me”, but that would have been about it. After a week or so we would have either made peace with it, or it would be off to Boy Band Graduation Station🫡. But A Korean Idol? Falling in love with an actual person? How is that possible when the instructions on the box clearly state that they are here for me? Like … you are telling me that, you who is supposed to be here for me are now going to be property of someone else? Like.. I literally bought you, don’t play with me! …😬🤡😩
Tumblr media
Now before we land, I’d like to share a bit of history.
The first group to be considered an Idol Group in Korea is H.O.T., an 5M group, so here I present their debut song “Candy” - September 7, 1996. 
youtube
In comparison, around the same time, the biggest Boy Band in the West actually world in 1996 was … you’ve guessed it … Backstreet Boys. So here I give you their debut song, which was actually from the previous year one of my fav BSB songs btw “We’ve Got It Goin’ On” - September 11, 1995.
youtube
On one hand we have five American boys from Orlando, who also introduced themselves, so that we all could remember their names right away with their first song smart AF if you ask me, and just seemingly having a good time. They are not promising you the world off the bat, but they are letting you know that they are cool AF and maybe you should hang? Whereas H.O.T. are five boys from Seoul telling you that they woke up with the intention of breaking up with you, so y’all already in a relationship, like … but basically despite all odds, you are the best thing on this planet and so they will not break up, and instead they are going to be with you; forever. Basically, one group is flirting but promising nothing, the other is already committed to you. And that is basically one way you can describe the difference between Western Boy Bands and Korean Male Idols, but in better words:
A Boy in a Band would love to be heard, an Idol really needs to be heard.
Tumblr media
✈️ I’ve already started my descent procedure into Idol World Airport. We expect to land in the next 30 seconds as scheduled. The weather is still overcast and rain is still falling. Nonetheless, we wish you a pleasant stay in Idol World and I hope to see you again very soon. On behalf of myself, thank you for choosing Deep Space Sparkle this weekend. 🛬
More Coldplay, Less One Direction
Our boys didn’t come from that Orlando Boy Band platform, they came from the Seoul Korean Idol one, and this is something we need to understand, because when they signed up to be idols, they originally signed up to sell dreams and be your means to escape reality, willingly or not. And I am not saying that escapism is bad, not at all, but like all things it has its negative side, and I can positively say that nowadays, Idol Culture is mostly associated with unhealthy escapism, which subconsciously, is one of the reasons why 4RMY fights tooth and nail to prove that 875 is for example not-Kpop. And by not-Kpop we actually mean that Bangtan are not Idols, and by not-Idols we actually mean they are not a boy band, and by not-a-boy-band we actually mean that they are more like Coldplay and not like One Direction… does that make sense? 
Let’s take a quick look at 4RMY before the Tannies: I’m a 90s kid, meaning I was around when Boy Bands were IT, from Take That all the way to Blue who were officially my last Boy Band. I was there when boys would try and cover the “As Long As You Love Me” dance in order to impress girls in elementary school and I was there when, during my last year of high school, N*SYNC disbanded and Boy Bands were officially declared uncool/losers, same as the people who liked them seriously and were not teenage girls because, once again, never forget: teenage girls only are allowed to like boy bands 🤡. In fact, One Direction even being a thing was probably because the West suddenly felt some sort of Boy Band Nostalgia, as there hadn’t been a good Boy Band or any at all actually for almost a decade then. 
But eventually, they ultimately became more of the same: one member was the most popular, the relationship between the members wasn’t as good as they were portraying it to be, the songs were always the same topic, etc etc etc. So when 875 slowly made its way into our lives, they came like a breath of fresh air, for us who didn’t even notice that we actually weren’t breathing. To begin with, even though we couldn’t understand the lyrics, the fact that the musical production was top-notch, was enough to keep you listening. Then, realising that these boys could really sing, that they could really dance, really rap and that they really did get along, was short of mind-blowing for many. And that was it; we were locked in. 
Tumblr media
Now, Let’s Look at the Tannies before 4RMY: To be anyone in the Idol World in the big year of 2010 everybody knew you had to be part of either Y6, JY9 or 5M, aka The Big 3. Nevertheless, hundreds of other little Idol Companies did exist, because every once in a while there would be a not-Big-3 One Hit Wonder, which could put you on the map. But also, and probably mainly, if you are a musician, a performer, a rapper, ultimately you would appreciate people appreciating your art, so any company is better than no Company at all. Hence, when the boys found their way into Big H1t, I am sure they didn’t go with the intention of winning a Daesang, they knew they couldn’t happen, I’d assume that all they wanted was a platform, a stage to perform.
Because they weren’t part of the Big 3, they were not as busy as their counterpart Big 3 groups who were constantly on shows, ads etc. They had time on their hands, but they didn’t waste it. In addition to the endless hours of training that any Idol Trainee in any company would have to do, they used the hell out of their YT channel, because what did they have to lose? Dance practice, song covers, YT challenges, V-logs, Blue Bird app updates, fancafes etc etc etc. They probably figured that if the majority of the people in their own country weren’t interested, someone in the world might be. And they were right; people in the world started tuning in.
And so it was that a group of Male Korean Idols found their perfect group of fans. Fans who genuinely wanted to listen to what they had to say, to watch them dance, to laugh with them, not because they owe it to the fans, but because it made them both happy to do so. Eventually the fandom grew to unimaginable proportions and the artist reached unbelievable fame, achieving goal after goal after goal, so much so that I mistakenly thought that we had actually managed to free the boys from Idol World (as I naively said here → QA~C 8). But I’m realising now, as I am writing this blog that The Genie is Still In The blasted Lamp.
Tumblr media
875 are still trapped on Idol World, but not for lack of trying to get out of it mind you. Most definitely Chapter 2 has made escaping virtually impossible. “But 875 have transcended Idol World Marengo, what are you saying?” You might want to tell me, and I would ask you: Have they really now? When a man is being made a public example for falling off a scooter in front of his own house. When a man was potentially dating and its fandom went literally berserk and through obnoxious lengths to try and deny it. When said fandom can’t even manage to pull up to stream for all members when needed. Basically all the Laws in Idol World still fully apply to our boys. 
Even after Chapter 2 ends, when the boys are all together, will we ever be able to get them out? Mmmm … I think that perhaps what it is, rather than getting them out, we probably would need to redefine what an Idol is, change the Laws within the World, so to say. Make it so that fans of Idols are not being given the authority, and liberty, to think they are actually “buying people” instead of “their art”. But like everything which involves money, and the Idol World racks in a lot of it, this is very much easier said than done. We are after all talking about trying to change an almost 40 year old institution in a country where women are finding it hard to even be treated with decency 😩😩😩. 
Obviously I don’t know what the solution is, but I am sure there is one, there has to be. There has to be one because the Tannies deserve to have a carefree career like Coldplay. That would literally be the ultimate goal. A career where they don’t have to worry about who they date, where they live, who they talk to, what they eat etc, but just enjoy making music and having a blast while performing it, with a fandom that respects them and looks forward to listening and supporting them. Once again, I know Chapter 2 hasn’t been easy but the most important thing at the moment, is to do what @chikooritajjk say they literally say this 👏🏾 every 👏🏾 single 👏🏾 time 👏🏾: WE GOTTA TRUST THE BOYS. Everything else will solve itself eventually, Karma will make sure of it. 
Tumblr media
And I am done. Idol World is hella big, so I’d suggest you go wander around a little just to understand the environment that the boys are still connected to, and in their own way I’ve been trying to change for the better. Don’t stay too long though, or wander too far, some areas are hella dangerous I tell you, and nobody has any business being there. Oh and have you heard of this new song called I’ll Be There by Jin of 875? Is very good, you should check it out while you wander. 
Always respectfully yours,
Marengo.

Adventure with Introspection
2023 is my year of adventure. Traveling, going out, exploring the world. Yes, those things have been taking place, but so has this extreme internal introspection. Adventure and Introspection are the adjectives I would use to describe this year. (Yes, I am aware Adventure is a noun. Stick with me) This introspection is the tiny thread on my jacket that I could have simply cut with scissors but instead have pulled and now has completely undone my jacket and has now come unconstructed. Now the jacket is on the floor in pieces and serves no purpose, just like my old life. 
Yesteryears, I was this quiet, people pleaser, and now I am establishing healthy boundaries, getting granular with what I want and what I like, and protecting my energy is where I am at. Let me tell you. This adventure is not for the faint of heart. Do you want a new life for yourself? Guess what? It's going to cost you the current one you are living with. Comfort zones, safety nets, and what you thought was right. Transitioning into a new life makes nothing safe from needing to be disposed of. Although my single request to the universe is no matter what that, Salem has to come with me. When you are holding onto something that no longer serves you. God, the universe, whoever makes that hold detrimental. Growing pains is real. However, I've never felt so alone but also so free. 
The growing pains is probably the most difficult part of the journey. When I prematurely reflect on myself. It can easily spiral into an existential crisis. I have many moments of wanting to give up everything. However, my knight in shiny armor that comes to rescue me are my passions, goals, hopes, dreams, and me knowing that I am deserving of better. For me when these spirals happen it’s like as if I am at the check-out stand and I’m told the price of an item and have that gut feeling that I should put it back. I’m sure a lot of people decided to put that item back and they stay where they are in life. I do not. Charge it. I need it to continue forward. I would rather deal with re-budgeting my life with the tools I need than go without. Idk if any of that makes sense. It does in my mind. 
I've been focusing on myself, staying in my lane, minding my own business, and not putting my two cents on people's business. It's blissful. Oh, and matching people's energies. Cheif's kiss. When someone would piss me off. Gurl, I would let it just take over me. Now I let it go. The peace that comes with that is orgasmic.
