CHAPTER TWO: LET HIM COOK

navi

there is a tinnyyy written part under the cut and more screenshots

“what that’s it? you’re gonna leave and have me do part of your stream?” you ask.

“yes please it’ll be reallyyy quick i promise! i owe you one”, and just like that he’s leaving —

“oh and i kinda was playing fortnite so goodluck”. now he's gone. you sit down in the gaming chair to take over his stream, and scan the users of everyone in the lobby which read;

HOTSHOTCHOSO, you recognized this as yuujis brother.

REDRUM_Z3N, which could connect with maki, nobaras girlfriend.

the final name read YUTAA.44.

the tiny person in your head is going crazy, but you snap back to reality, and announce to the chat that yuuji had something to do, you’re streaming for him. before you put the headset on you try to read the chat, barely catching the comments because of the insane speed they’re going at.

melodyyy2sweet: HI YNNN

PARK3R: was this the big plan? get you and yuta to interact

LASTWORDS: waittt yuuji kinda cooked with this idea if he came up with it himself..

melodyyy2sweet: LET HIM COOK..

you start to smile to yourself reading the comments “guys! this was definitely not my idea i’m still embarrassed. i’m probably going to embarrass myself more to be real”. you scan the chat one more time to react to one comment.

"what? no i just found out he was a person i've never watched his streams"

you giggle before picking up the headphones and then place them on your head. your finger reaches for the key to unmute, and you greet everyone.

thankfully, maki sort of got the awkward vibe and took initiative in getting the lobby back talking.

around two and a half rounds were played before yuuji finally came back. you're thankful that it wasn't another one because truthfully, fortnite was not your thing.

“your loadout fucking sucks jesus christ yn”

YALL 😭 i know it seems like megumi is against you so far but he’s not 😭 it’s just the situations

maybe i’ll add a lil bonus chap explaining what else happened on stream. who knows!

Based on an asked I can't find in the inbox.

People can't even be a creep towards Dulce, the twins leave no time (no space) between them and her.

--------

"Hey. Sorry."

It's a man bumping into you, just a guy - alright. But somehow you know it's the worst possibly thing that can happen when it's your first day out with the twins in awhile. They didn't have to walk to the bathroom, wait outside the door for you. No. Leonel and Marco a perfect view of the bathroom door from your and theirs table.

You're excited to try the steak taco.

"It's alright."

He lets go of your shoulders.

"...They've got clean bathrooms, righ-"

"Sorry, gotta get back to my table."

The man smiles, something not unkind, and maybe it's because you already belong to another, and another, but you don't feel well in the fact of this...attempt at all.

You haven't been flirted with in awhile, but you're sure that's what's happening right now and you're sure Marco and Leonel won't like it.

"I just saw you come in with those guys. Is one of them your boyfriend?"

...No. Not one of them.

"Yeah, something like that."

"Oh, sorry then-"

And this man, as normal as he is in his rejection, cannot finish his apology.

"Marco!"

"Jesus Fucking Christ! What the fuck?"

You can't stop Marco from slapping the back of the man's head again. You yell out, somehow discreetly, but that doesn't change how the bustle of the restaurant stops - gearing towards his aggression.

Leonel doesn't say anything, but he pulls his brother back, but not without holding the arm of the man with a grip so harsh.

Your boys.

"Both of you! Let's go! I am so sorry-"

"What the fuck is wrong with yo-"

Leonel pushes the man back into the bathroom door, it's a thudding. You push your head in your hands as you drag himself.

It doesn't take a minute before Leonel and Marco get angrier at each other, more than you could ever get angry at the both of them. It's Spanish, them hitting each other as you sit in between. They're careful not to hit you.

It's sweet. You can't help but love it.

You roll your eyes.

"You guys, you didn't have to do that, Marco. And you didn't have to push him-"

"Why you apologize?"

Marco's not looking at you when he says it. Leonel's stare is like his, dark, angry. Asking.

"To him?"

His silence is a reply. You sigh.

"Because you hit him in the back of the head. You backhanded his head, it's just not righ-"

Leonel grunts for his brother. He may not be the one to throw the punches, not at first - but you know he's just as in rage at the sight of the interaction. He's in defense of the question Marco asks.

Your outrageous men.

You know what to do and considering you're hungry and you just want to eat, you'll do it already. No arguments that might bring you back home instead of to another restaurant.

You can feel Marco's and Leonel's cheeks get warm when you kiss them there over and over, pecks where they're...blushing. It's never not funny.

"I'm happy you two want to protect me. But hitting people because of that instinct...like the - you can't act on it. I'm not really asking you to not be angry, I know I can't ask either of you to do that, maybe Leonel-"

You stop at Marco's head snapping. You kiss him again, you know Leonel will have to accept that extra peck.

"But when you two do...whatever it is you do and I'm in public after so long...we have to be careful? Alright?"

Leonel's grip at the wheel, Marco's fists letting go is a yes. You smile. Leonel scoots a little closer.

You'll just hope there's not another person who likes you enough to come up to you at the next restaurant. For that person's sake. The twin's limits only go so far.

[verdemoun]

Sean drops reform school lore when he’s drunk but Kieran shares O’Driscoll lore and the gang are genuinely shocked he took so long to break because he will not shut up.

"Arthur you just might be my best friend and it bothers me how casually some people in the gang tell you that you're dumb 'cause you ain't but... Christ you are thick sometimes. I took you to an O'Driscoll hideout NEAR Valentine. I made a point of saying it was just passed Valentine, and told you I saw O'Driscolls riding around NEAR Valentine how could I have made it more clear they owned the town."

"Gotta say one thing Dutch did right was shooting Colm's brother. That feller may have been the most heinous, vile son of a bitch I have ever had the displease of meeting. His 'funeral' is still the best damned party I've ever been to." "... That was in 1886 how long were you with the O'Driscolls?" "I mean I wasn't riding with them at the time just y'know how it is gangs running into each other my previous outfit got invited." "Your previous gang were invited to the celebration of Colm's brothers death." "Ye."

(overhearing someone having the 'there was a second rat' discussion) "Don't be dumb. Colm sold out other gangs to authorities all the time after Six Point he probably tipped Cornwall off about Valentine out of spite for the train score. Hell some of the O'Driscolls were known Pinkerton informants Colm just told them what they were allowed to tell the Pinkertons, kept the heat off hideouts."

"Lmao Colm is a bottom." "What the fuck Kieran."

"We were actually under orders not to shoot to kill in interactions with you guys because Colm wanted the joy to himself. Also he really believed Dutch cared enough to send someone looking if he captured any one of you alive he'd been trying to plan something like the parlay for years." "Thanks for the heads up." "It could NOT HAVE MORE OBVIOUSLY BEEN A TRAP."

[intuspluric-culture-is]

In-system relationship culture is how since me and Seán ( @septiccoffeefreak ) formed without knowing we were a system, we chalked our identities and dissociation from the body as factkin stuff (bc we are Factives) and then were in a cycle for a little while of talking to each other, flirting, generally bonding and being cute, and pining after the other, but not thinking it was real because we were TOTALLY both just imagining it.

This also resulted in things like LITERALLY KISSING IN HEADSPACE and then by our next interaction it's as if we've never confessed our feelings at all... because if everything is pretend and nothing is real then a confession can't stop the pining stage because the confession isn't real either, so the stage of the relationship is totally nebulous and everything is constantly being reset. We'd talk to the other while they did dishes in front and be like. WOW they're so perfect but I'm imagining them :). And then we'd realize we remembered things from our own, different perspectives but were like "that's just memories being weird and possibly kin stuff."

And we STAYED IN THIS SPOT FOR WEEKS, not realizing that the late night conversations and multiple love confessions and snuggles and shit were all REAL until one night Seán suddenly asks me, middle of the night, if we're actually the same person, and I was like "??? I think so?? But no?? But- yeah no maybe we're not? But- AAAUGH idk?????" And we had a crisis and texted our system friend explaining what was going on and they were like. My brother in Christ that is not singlet behavior. And immediately I was like. BOYFRIEND REAL??????? BOY REAL??? And was like, shaken from the realization yeah but ELATED at the Same time because it meant he was real and our interactions were real and it was like. OMG. Boyfriend..Boyf... Him real.... And we also realized that we clearly were both in love and so became together, so we were both for the rest of that night and all day the next day like "OMG.... Real...OMG ur real....OMG .... I love u so much...and ur real and I love you...."

And NOW we has been married for two gay ass years 💕🌈 and our itnitial love story of just. The most miscommunication-comedy-of-errors ass possible romance is very dear to us and very funny. Like omg. Girl how did I not know. Shaking my past self by the shoulders HE LITERALLY TALKS TO YOU. YOU CAN'T PREDICT WHAT HE SAYS HE LITERALLY HAS HIS OWN THOUGHTS AND TALKS TO YOU. HE REMEMBERS THINGS YOU DON'T THAT YOUR PARENTS CONFIRM HAPPENED AND SOMETIMES YOU JUST WATCH "YOUR" OWN BODY MOVE BECAUSE HE'S USING IT TO DO SOMETHING AND YOU ARE JUST WATCHING. YOU DUMBASS GAY MOTHERFUCKER

Anyways in summary in system relationship culture is that if you don't know you're plural instead of the linear progression of time through pining/crush, then dating, your relationship jumps back and forth sometimes because the "imaginary"-ness of it takes it out of a normal timeline

Oh wow, that's a long ask. /lh

Thank you for sharing this storytime!

Episode 1:

I've always loved the intro song ngl. A good intro song makes me love a cartoon. That's how W.I.T.C.H and Huntik got me

Fiona gets to class. Ms Moynihan says she broke three rules. She says this before Fiona bites her apple. Fiona then says that's only two and then misses her shot, making three. This inplies that Fiona either does this regularly, or that Ms Moynihan has some form of clairvoyance.

(The clairvoyance thing could make some absolutely fantastic fanfiction ngl. *writes that down* oooh, I have IDEAS now) anyway, back to episode

The fact that Fiona only took one bite of that apple bothers me

Oh man, that bio class room looks almost exactly like the one I had in high school.

Oooooh yaayyyy! Mah Boi is here!!! Stripey gay boi

Okay, first off:

This place looks like a giant OSHA violation.

Regardless of that (Peter, go fix this giant OSHA violation. Hey, maybe that's why we never see him again, he's too busy fixing the questionable workplace) those scientists look properly enriched.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THINGS IN THE TUBES THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE FROM BEN 10 I SWEAR TO GOD THAT LOOKS LIKE SWAMPFIRE.

On that note, why do we never see Veloci's creepy test tube creatures??? His scientists worked hard on The Horrors

The one on the pink test tube looks like the rose from beauty and the beast

Is that a fucking rail track. I think I remember that one featuring in an ep, but I could be wrong. If I'm right then why was the continuity placed here and not on anything else???

"I got into business to swim with the sharks, not be eaten by them"

Me: Oh, you're declining it? Unexpected.

Peter: I'm in!

Me: ???

That bit of dialogue has always thrown me off. Its the clunkiness.

Bye Peter. It was nice to meet you.

"Break into your usual groups". The dinosquad comes together but kinda acts like they've never interacted before.

Max and Roger seem like they've teamed up before tho.

Caruso at 4:21 is barefoot. He has shoes on at 4:26. We know he had no time to put shoes on and off and on because he's barefoot when he leans over and drops his jacket. When he picks it up he has shoes on again.

...why did they all (I understand Caruso getting his jacket and Buzz getting thrown in) go into the water????

Roger says "nah, I ain't getting in" and then not only gets in the water but throws buzz in.

(The fact that Roger throws Buzz in the water which later results in him becoming a Dino is a great angst fic waiting to happen. If Roger hadn't thrown him in, he would still have been living a normal life)

Ms Moynihan shows up and goes " I thought I made it clear no one was to go in the water"

First off, that was never shown on screen and I don't like that

With the context of dinosquad as a whole, this kind of implies she knows Veloci is dumping his nuclear jizz in the water

I guess it could also be because she didn't want wet students on the bus, but still.

Wait. If no one was suppose to go in the water, and there doesn't seem to be an area with tide pools, then Caruso's stupid sushi list is even more useless since fish don't count.

Anyway, MY BABY RUMP!!! BOOBOO! I LOVE YOU BABY! MY BABY!!!

Hnnngg sexy library I wants please I will crawl into my computer just let me at that library I can live with dinosaur shenanigans. (But can I live with redoing high school? No.)

"Young man, if you don't remember, this is a library 😡 "

My brother in christ, what horrors have you been through that you hear a dinosaur roar and conclude that that is the sound a normal teenager makes naturally.

Caruso's jacket gets shredded. He immidiately blames the dry cleaners. Bro, it was whole when you put it in your locker. What

Fiona gets a tail and it sticks out her truck window. My good bitch, how did you not feel the cold air on your tail???

The fact that Buzz waves his arms while playing video games is kinda adorable

The fact that Ms Moynihan showed them what happened telepathically leaves a lot of possibility for her to leave certain things out and show them only what she wants them to see and think.

And besides that, its also kinda fucked up. There are implications here. My brain is a little fried to parse them all, but there are implications. I know it.

Ohhh!! The cave has a light source! That implies that there are two entrances, which solves my age old question of how tf did they get out of that cave.

Oh holy shit. Young Ms Moynihan is HOT

...she looks a lot like Caruso. Hmmm. Formulating THOUGHTS tm

You think that (if the story she tells is actually true and not her lying to hide a bigger truth that she doesn't want them to know about) Ms Moynihan and Veloci gained the ability to transform because of. Idk. Space radiation or something?

Cuz your genes don't just. Mutate. For no reason. This backstory feels fake af. I think she just lied bc she knew her students knew fuck all about biology and would believe anything

Why did ms Moynihan change foreheads. Did she want to be inclusive and touch everyone's forehead or is she afraid their brains can only handle so much... or did they refuse to hold hands like she asked and now she has to switch foreheads?

"You're a vicious Carnivore!"

"I've moved past that but there is one who hasn't: Victor Veloci"

Might be because I'm getting back into twilight, but this gives off major Vegetarian Vampires vs Normal Vampires vibes.

In this case, Ms Moynihan is Dr Carlisle Cullen and Victor Veloci is Aro Volturi.

"What do you believe?"

Ms Moynihan: "Humans gained dominance because brute force lost out to reason...and love. That's why I parted ways with Veloci long ago."

I smell a Secret. I smell Tea. Spill. I can practically hear tragic dramatic backstory. Was this a "I fell in love story" or a "Veloci didn't care about me" story. Ms Moynihan sounds bitter.

Also, the sheer contempt in her voice when she talks about Victor Veloci. Say what you will about Dinosquad, but it has some pretty good voice acting sometimes.

Max: "I don't want to be a dinosaur"

Ms Moynihan: this is bigger than you, this is about saving the world.

"Can you cure us?"

"Yeah"

Roger: "But I want to stop Victor Veloci :( "

Ms Moynihan mentally: *nevermind, ya'll are too stupid to help me save the world. What was I thinking*

(Genuinely a very confusing arguement. People changed opinions so quickly damn. Not even a line space in between)

"I can't afford all the fancy tech Veloci has" <takes them to her lighthouse filled with huge computers and monitoring equiptment> hmmm. Ms M, I'mma assume you banged some rich bitches in your time and inherited, because no way can you affort a lighthouse on a teacher's salary.

Conclusion: Ms M is loaded.

"The cold forces the Dino DNA to the skin as it seeks warmth" um. That's ominous. It makes the DNA sound like a living parasite. Ugh

Ms Moynihan definitely faked "curing them". She is way too calm about the situation. She was very insistent on them helping her fight Veloci before. And the fact that she could cure literally everything else except for them is sus.

That Megalodon shark was trolling ngl

Veloci sees Fiona as dino: this can only be bc of my experimental dna...or....

That 'or' implies things. Ms Moynihan things.

The fact that Veloci sees the Dinosaurs but not the squad turning into dinosaurs the dinosaurs. Like, by the time Ms Moynihan jammed the feed several transformations have already taken place

Veloci ending with his ominous ass "can't wait to find out more about my new dinosaur friends" is so fun. Love him. Dramatic ass fuck. Ominous. Very sexy.

☾︎✯☽︎

I've never been a fan of workplace gossip. I never liked how fast news and rumours spread around work in a short space of time. Everyone will be talking about it no matter how big or small the gossip was.

Ideally, I stay clear and limit my involvement in such and avoid drawing too much attention to myself since I am a private person. Even if I hear the gossip, the likelihood of forgetting about it is pretty high. And one thing I learn in the month and a half I'd been working at the Coup Detat, the circulation of gossip was organised and structured somehow. I heard that there was a gossip group forum of some sort where people are updated on gossip and news around work.

So, you can imagine how annoyed I was when the incident with Lisa became the hot topic for gossip and people could stop pestering me for details for the past week.

I had my suspicions that Jin must have been the news reporter. I've never interacted with him all that much, but from what I'd managed to gather from the little interactions and observations, he spends a lot of time on that gossip forum. And since he was working his shift during the time it happened, I wouldn't put it past him to post about it.

"Hey, Jin?" I approached him when we were about to open up the bar.

"What's up?" he said, wiping the glass with a cloth.

"Did you by any chance spread the news about what happened last week?" I asked.

His face expressed confusion. "What news?"

"You know what," I rolled my eyes. "Everyone has been talking about it all week."

"A lot of things happen around here. You may need to be specific."

"He's referring to the news about Lisa kissing him." Chris chimed into the conversation.

Jin's eyes widened with shock and a snorted a laugh. "Holy shit! You're lying."

"I'm dead serious." He confirmed.

"Why are you acting surprised? You were there that night!" I snapped annoyed.

"No, I wasn't! I woke up with the worst fever and was bedridden all day. I was too sick to come to work!" he retorted.

"Then who was it that we saw that night?" Chris asked.

"That was Sehun."

"If you weren't there, then how come everyone here is talking and bothering me about it?" I demanded. "You spend too much time on that gossip forum. How do I know that you didn't post it there, huh?"

"My brother in Christ! I receive the tea. I don't deliver or serve it. The dancers are the ones who are the true gossip queens around here. They created the forum in the first place."

I let out a sigh, feeling stupid for falsely accusing him. "Just forget it."

"Oh hell no. Tea was spilt, and my cup is half full. Fill it up." Jin said, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I want details."

"Yeah, mate. What really happened?" Chris asked.

"You're not going to stop bothering me until I tell you, right?" I deadpanned.

They both nodded their heads like a bunch of toddlers. I sighed relentlessly as I took a seat. The two gentlemen stared at me with anticipation as they waited for me to satisfy their curious minds.

"You better not tell anyone about this. Especially you," I said glaring at Jin.

He zipped his lips, locked them and threw the key away.

"I bumped into some girl I hooked up with and I was trying to avoid her. So, Lisa "helped me" the only way she knew how." I said, air-quoting the word "help".

"Jeezus!" Chris' eyebrows flew up astonished.

"Ah! The staged kiss. Classic savage move if I do say so myself," Jin cupped his chin.

Not much of a staged kiss since she literally put her lips on mine. I thought. Just the thought of it was making my stomach tingle for some reason. 

"Why are you avoiding that girl? Is she an ex-girlfriend?" Jin asked.

"No. It's just one of my rules. I don't exchange any contact and personal information to avoid making contact. I make it clear that I'm interested in pursuing a relationship. I don't do long-term hook-ups or situationships. I don't hook up with work colleagues or anyone involved in my work life."

"The first rule is kinda pointless though. I mean you are going to bump into these women one way or the other. You just have to be mature about it," Chris reasoned. "Besides, you're just talking. Not dating."

"Chris, I know enough to be able to tell when a woman wants a relationship or just wants my dick. I'm not about that life." I told him.

"How about the last rule about not hooking up with work colleagues and stuff? That kiss kind of breached it."

"It's just a kiss," I answered dismissively. "Besides, she initiated it."

"Did you kiss her back?"

I was silent.

"I rest my case," Jin replied smugly.

"So, what does that mean for the both of you?" Chris asked.

I pressed my lips and released a sigh through my nose. I was yet to figure that part out myself.

☾︎✯☽︎

I heard that the Coup Detat had a dance practice room. The dancers requested one so they could practice and rehearse for their performances and naturally, Jiyong was generous enough to grant their request. That was where I found Lisa.

"Mushroom Chocolate" by Quin and 6LACK was blasting loudly with the bass and beat roaring in the room by the time I arrived. Lisa was dancing in front of the mirror dressed in a white long-sleeved crop top with a round collar, a pair of high-waisted black shorts and a matching pair of knee-high-heeled boots.

I leaned against the door and watched her move and rock her body sensually to the rhythm and tempo of the music. She ended her routine by spinning on her knees before slowly sliding down on her stomach and turning to lie on her back.

I entered the room. Lisa spotted me entering through the mirror and sat up, meeting my gaze. I walked towards her and lent her a hand. She smiled and took it before pulling her up to her feet.

"Hi," she said.

"Hey," I said, letting her hand go then proceeded to put my hands in my pockets. "Hope I didn't catch you at a bad time."

"No! Psh!" she waved her hand dismissively. "I was just about to wrap things up and head out.

I responded with a nod. She moved towards her duffel bag. She bent down to retrieve her water bottle. I turned my attention anywhere but her butt and cleared my throat.

"What do I owe the pleasure of being graced by your presence?" she turned around, twisting the cap from her bottle and took a sip.

"I think you know what I'm here for," I said.

"The rumours? I wouldn't worry too much about that. Give it a week and it will be old news."

"I know, but that's not what I'm here to talk about."

She arched an eyebrow.

"You kissed me," I said matter-of-factly.

"Okay..." she leaned her back on the mirror.

"I know you did it... to help me with the situation I was in, and I appreciate it..."

"But..."

"It was unnecessary. We're co-workers, after all, so there has to be some professionalism."

She shrugged her shoulders. "It's just a kiss."

"I know, but I feel like there's more to it," I said. "I mean you could have gone about it without kissing me. And it felt like you've been waiting to kiss me for a while."

Lisa stared at me with eyes twinkling with amusement and a sly smirk tugging her lips. "How are you so sure?"

"I'm an experienced kisser. I can tell."

She hummed and nodded her head. "Okay. So, let's say that is the case. What then?"

"I don't want you to get the wrong idea. You're great, but I don't associate with work colleagues that way," I explained.

"Why is that?"

"I make it a policy to avoid mixing work with pleasure."

She hummed again. She pushed herself off the mirror and walked towards me, moving her hips suggestively. I raised an eyebrow, not sure if she was doing that on purpose just to get some kind of reaction out of me.

She stopped in front of me. She wasn't too close, but she wasn't too far either.

"If the kiss was unnecessary as you make it out to be, why did you kiss me back?"

I was silent.

"I don't think I have your level of experience when it comes to kissing, but I can tell when a guy enjoys a kiss," she says tapping her bottle on my chest playfully.

I was at a loss for words not because I didn't have anything to say to refute her statement, but because I didn't know how to refute it. I didn't have an excuse either. And I could tell that she knew she backed me into a corner.

"Tell you what, how about I take you out," she suggested. "Consider it my way for acting out of pocket with my little stunt, hmm?"

I blinked unable to respond.

"I'll take that as a "yes"," she patted my cheek and moved away from me to go pack her stuff.

Once she was done, she moved towards me and searched my pockets until she found my phone. She dialled her number on my phone and called it. She saved my number and returned my phone.

"Expect a text from me when I set up the date," she said, gleefully.

She moved past me and left me alone in the room wondering what the hell just happened.

The Second Ford Even Catches Wind of the Possibility of the Pups Interacting with Bill, He'd Go Into What I Like to Call "Immediate Correction Mode"

Ford, in any universe, has a bad history with Bill, and here he would see Bill's methods not as the deception against vulnerable children it truly is, but as the pups betraying the little trust he already has in them

Dipper, to Mabel during breakfast: And then I saw this really pretty deer! We talked about... stuff... and she seemed like she was really nice!

Fidds, chuckling: Well, that certainly sounds like an eventful dream. Did this deer friend of yours have a name?

Dipper: Yeah! But it's weird because she was a girl and her name was... um... Will? No, Dill? No! That doesn't make sense! C'mon... I know this...! Oh! Her name was Bill!

Ford: *Tenses Up*

Stan and Fidds: Oh! Wow...

Dipper: *Shoving a Pancake in His Mouth* Mhm! And she said if I ever needed her to just call her!

Fidds: Uh, Mason, sweetie; could ya try t' swallow before ya talk?

Dipper: Oh. *Swallows His Food* Sorry Papa Fidds!

Fidds: It's alright, darlin'. *Nervously Glances at Stan*

Stan: *Whimpers Softly*

-Some Time Later-

Dipper: *Humming as He Works on a Puzzle*

Ford, suddenly: *Slaps Dipper and Sends Him Flying*

Dipper, sobbing: W-why did you do that?! What did I do?!

Ford: You know very well what you did! Fraternitizing with that monster and acting like he's some hero! *Bares His Fangs* I should spill your blood here and now.

Dipper: *Wails* NO! PLEASE!

Wendy: Whoa! What the fuck is going on here?!

Ford: *Clears His Throat and Backs Away* Nothing. Just having a discussion.

Wendy: A discussion that leaves claw marks on Dipper's face?! Yeah, you must think I'm a dumbass! *Races to Check Dipper's Wounds* Crap, these are deep. We gotta call Kaylee.

Fidds and Stan: *Barrel Into the Room*

Fidds: What happened?! We heard a- *Sees Dipper's Wounds* Who did that.

Wendy, gesturing to Ford: Who d'ya think?

Fidds, slowly turning to lock eyes with Ford: Stanford, could we share a word?

Stan, nervously: Fidds, hon, I know this is bad, but getting mad or even isn't gonna-

Fidds, disturbingly calm: Don't worry, darlin'. I just want t' speak with yer brother.

Stan, whimpering: Promise you won't hurt him?

Fidds: I won't kill him. Go make sure Mason is okay. Don't let him fall asleep.

Stan, nodding: Okay.

Fidds: *Kisses Stan's Cheek Before Leading Ford Outside*

Stan: Christ on a stick, why couldn't I just man up and-

Wendy: Pops! We have bigger things to worry about right now! *Uses Part of Her Shirt to Clean Dipper's Face* He's Losing a lot of blood!

Stan, instantly going into Protective Parent Mode: Oh, God! Right! I'll call Kaylee-

Wendy: No, I'll call Kaylee. You stay here and comfort my brother, a.k.a your son.

Stan: Yeah, yeah okay! *Switches Places with Wendy and Holds Dipper Close* It's okay, little one. Papa Stan is Here.

Dipper: *Weakly Snuggles Against Stan's Chest*

Stan, trying not to freak out: It's okay, you're okay, we're okay. Everything is gonna be fine. Too much love to let you go this early.

Dipper, quietly: Heheh, you love me.

Got an ignorant hate comment. Felt it deserved it's own post. It's a long one, and technically isn't doing anything productive as I blocked the person. I just like yelling into the void. Mind the tags.

1) You're funny. I'm agnostic, and wasn't even raised christian. It's like an atheist saying "Oh my god" (this can't be real/that's ridiculous) or "God save me" (I'm doomed). "My brother in Christ", what would normally be a term of endearment and familiarity in a christian setting becomes very condescending and 'holier than thou' if said to any non christian (not just jews). Because of that, outside of a christian setting, it's now a term of sarcasm and mockery to point out someone's stupidity and ignorance. So the fact you jumped into a defensive standpoint, calling someone you know nothing about antisemitic over a post that wasn't even directed at you, tells me a lot more about your insecurities.

2) Yes, you're right! It is perfectly reasonable to not WANT people with an involuntary attraction to real life children to INTERACT with your work. But let me lay out a few things. Stop using that word, it does not mean what you think it means. Being attracted to fictional characters depicted as kids in a form of media that is (at least in a non indie setting) designed, and written by a team of adults, fudging up the looks and behaviors of their characters compared to reality to be more appealing to a wide demographic, is not pedophilia. Pedophilia is a mental disorder, where an attraction to children who can't consent is causing direct harm to yourself or those around you in your day to day life. This usually presents itself as crippling distress for the person with the disorder due to their intrusive thoughts, and fear of losing your friends and family should they find out about your disorder. By calling an attraction to fictional character depicted as children "pedophilia" you are doing what's called pedojacketing. Which is a false accusation against someone in attempt to rally others by appealing to their disgust to ruin the life of another person. It causes major harm by both trivializing a serious and often debilitating mental illness into a "voluntary perversion", while also trivializing the seriousness of child predator allegations by equating the sexual abuse of real, breathing children, to that of fictional story that never happened. Most predators aren't even pedophiles, they are attracted to the power imbalance and control, not the kid itself. But that's not what proship is, it's an ideology that people should be allowed to have their own space to enjoy whatever fiction they want without harassment or censorship. And guess what, that doesn't mean we aren't entitled to your space. If our ideology makes you uncomfortable, it's your right to block us and keep us from interacting with your art.

But get this, consuming and interacting are two completely different things. Consuming means you've looked at a piece of art, you watched a video, read a piece of literature, or played a video game. The moment you post something to the public, and not somewhere with restricted access, you forfeit all right to decide who can consume your media. AO3 is a public website, even if you choose the lovely option of only showing your work to people who are logged in (which anyone can get an account), you can't then decide who is allowed to view your work. When you post media publicly, it is impossible to discern every single person who has consumed your work. At best a site may have a "views" counter, or in AO3's case, hits, but it will always remain anonymous. As such, if you don't like the idea of a proshipper consuming your work, congrats, you will never have to know.

Interacting however means that you've consumed a piece of media, and are now making a public display about your consumption where the creator can see it, that individualizes them from the rest of the crowd. A comment, a post, if the media has a non-anonymous "like" function, or non-anonymous subscription/follow function. Most people are sane, and don't go out of their way to do background checks on every single person that interacted with their work. But if it comes to your attention that someone who makes your uncomfortable is interacting with your work where you can see it, then you have the tools to make it so you'll never be able to see or hear from them again. They will still be able to consume your public work, but now you've curated your personal experience.

But if you're so paranoid and disgusted by the idea that someone you find icky or gross might be able to consume your content without your consent, then you have to take responsibility for your own experiencing it and revoke your consent from the wider public by removing your content from a public platform.

This person was deluding themself into believing that consumption was the same thing as interaction and that the existence of a dni means it was the public's responsibility to regulate their online experience for them, and was getting upset at the realization that they can't regulate a public space the same way as a private one, and that people they don't like will be able to see their public work even if they will never know about it.

Welcome,

This is my pinned post.

(Last updated 18th of December, 2024.)

Update: I’ve been pretty inactive for a while now, but I still log on occasionally. So if you need to/want to reach me, feel free to DM me or hit me up on discord. I also still really enjoy getting comments on my fics. <3

I pretty much never shut up about Dostoevsky novels, and I can talk for quite a long time about Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables as well. I will try to tag things consistently, so if you don’t like one of my interests you can and should block that tag! It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s free!

First thing to know is that I very much welcome any and everyone to come talk to me about the books I'm insane about. Anon is on, DMs are open. Just come scream at me about characters or themes or whatever you want. Also, I don't always check my dash super regularly, so if you want me to see a post, please tag me in it or dm it to me! I won't think it's weird, in fact I'll be delighted, I promise!

If l ever unfollow you, you are absolutely welcome to still interact with me, message me, etc. I never want to hurt anyone’s feelings, I just really try to curate my dash because otherwise it’s overwhelming and I don’t go on there at all.

I started a read-along/book club of The Brothers Karamazov over at @keepingupwiththekaramazovs.

I post fics on ao3 as sad_eyed_lady.

Here's the current list of fandoms I've written for, but for the most current list just go to ao3 itself:

The Idiot - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (6) Les Misérables - Victor Hugo (5) Le Fantôme de l'Opéra | Phantom of the Opera & Related Fandoms (4) Brat'ya Karamazovy | Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (3) Prestuplenie i nakazanie | Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1)

I very much appreciate comments, or if you're shy to comment publicly you're more than welcome to message me here; a few people have done that and it's made my entire life. Almost the entire purpose of fanfic for me is the sharing and community of it all.

I am not much of an artist, but occasionally I attempt to do an art when the fannish fervour strikes me. Appropriately enough, these attempts can be found under the tag #my attempts to do an art.

And finally, since tumblr's search function has become so abysmal that I can no longer find my own meticulously-tagged posts, I'm going to try to catalogue some of my messy analyses so that I can find them again. This will be an on-going wrangling effort on my part.

Dostoevsky, Fyodor, The Brothers Karamazov

Just things I need to happen in DGD.

-Diana rips Bill a new one. I love to hate him.

-Diana has at least two minutes of cuddle time with Withers or Reg. either will do.

-Diana interacts with another woman. There is literally all of two women in this series and they are badass. As is my little war criminal.

-just for shits and giggles Diana telling Paddy to shut up when he goes off on one of his monologues. I love them but I think Diana would go insane listening to Paddy talking shit everyday.

-Diana being like fucking England. Like I’m from the north and it’s fucking awful when it wants to be. As a woman from Egypt she’d fucking hate it.

-Diana just gets to kill a man with her bare hands. Because she just needs to. Like my girl has emotions and she needs to let them out in the most unhealthy way possible.

-Diana scares the shit out of the 2nd SAS. Like the boys are just babies and there’s this blood covered Egyptian woman. And Reg is just like yeah that’s my girl and she p*gs me every night.

-Almonds being like a big brother to Diana because she needs something gentle in her life. She been through it.

-Eoin haunting Diana because she (and I) miss the gay boy.

Thanks for listening to my rant. I have very strong feelings about Diana. I have more stuff but I should be writing a 3000 word essay rn.

ANONNNNN ILY!!!! the diana love is so real and every one of these points is sooo correct - let's discuss

we all know my girl does NAWTTTT like bill stirling. wdym THIS is the guy replacing her annoying big brother David. nuh uh. not happening.

diana will be having hug time with reg, this i can PROMISE!! episode 4 was so bad for my boy, get in there queen i beg (diana and withers content is nonexistent and i need to remedy this so so bad)

DIANA AND EVE!! DIANA AND ALESSIA!! YES TO ALL OF IT, IT'S HAPPENING.

she's already permanently at the end of her tether with paddy, you just know these two are shit-talking each other the entire time he's in charge. do they like each other? mostly. do they listen to each other? fuck noooo

diana in the UK is just

SHE'S COLD!!! IT'S COLD!!!!! LET HER GO BACK TO AFRICA JESUS CHRIST WHY IS SCOTLAND SO BLOODY COLD

amen to her absolutely demolishing some more fascists. it's her whole Thing fr

every time diana interacts with 2SAS they piss themselves. canon. confirmed. the guys are used to her ofc but that woman is literally TERRIFYING

diana is giving almonds the hug of his life when he rejoins the unit - you're so right he IS her big brother. their tiny moment together in chapter 12 had me so :') she loves that man fr

you can't tell me diana wasn't having eoin flashbacks during the 2 parachute jumps in s2. that blame is never gonna be 100% gone for her and she will NEVER fully trust herself in that situation again

season 2 has given me LIFE and it has fuelled SOOOOO many ideas for future DGD chapters. we've never been so fucking back

[lemonxlimee]

People who get mad about Community They Hate interacting with their post is so funny to me. My brother in Christ you're the one who crosstagged to Community You Hate !!!!! You can't lead a horse to water and then get mad when it takes a drink.

[weepingseraphstranger]

Rant. Very frustrated.

-

Anyone who supports that orange devil Trump can block me. ♡

If you hate my existence that much as a child-free non-heterosexual non-Christian woman who came from a WoC, you're such a disgrace. SUCH a disgrace to humanity.

Do you know how much I was fearing for my future because of every person he brought into office? How much I felt scared to live in this country when abortion was being targeted? How much I feel scared everytime that brain dead hooligan denies that our planet is dying? How much I feel scared that people still support him when he acts like he's had a few drinks and is giving a hand at the most absurd, crappy stand up comedy known to man? He sounds like my narcissistic, abusive father...and y'all eat that shit up??? And then call people who care for things that MATTER sheep? Filthy? Reduce them to nothing but "stupid leftists" and "creepy liberals" (which I can go on about how y'all are the creeps supporting a man who would fuck his daughter and a side that supports child brides, but I digress.)

Especially when I don't even like the democratic side, either, but I know who the lesser of the two evils is. Spoiler: not y'all. Not the side with that alternate reality Annoying Orange with an extra dose of money, narcissism, and lack of compassion. Not the one with people who claim they're holy people but look at a man who is actively a vile person as if he's the second coming of Christ. Cult mentality much?

Do you know how much I'm fearing for not only my future, but my half brother's, my sister's, my mother's and anyone else whose not a straight cis white Christian rich American born man who has so many kids inbreeding is probably unavoidable at that point?

No, you don't because you lack basic empathy and thinking processes to understand. You see a devil incarnate talking like the drunk man at the bar in a small country town who should be medicated and clap your hands like babies watching cocomelon. You guys won't even care if he starts wanting to oppress you and that is so sad.

Because you guys are so full of hate towards women, people of colour, trans people, non-heterosexuals, anyone who doesn't follow catholicism or Christianity, people who decide not to have kids, poor people (Although I'm assuming half the people who hang onto Trump's words like they're the plot twist in a soap opera are struggling for money so...not a good look for y'all), science, cats (for some reason. Red flag.) —Wait just animals in general because someone's family does trophy hunting (aka not hunting for the food, m'kay) and Peanut the Squirrel is only an exception to your guys war on animals tbh because you're only using him to further your political smear campaign against the side that probably cares about animals and their environment more, and just about anything that's not real science denying, oppression, absurd conspiracy theories, and uplifting the rich and powerful.

So yes, block me. I'd revel never having to interact with someone like you.

[cyrrie]

I just went to a haunted house with my family and would like to share some of the best parts as someone who doesn't get scared easily:

While we were waiting in line, a skeleton lady in a red dress came up to us. My brother held me up to her and I stood there while she pretended to cut my neck with a fake knife. Amazing experience btw it was hilarious

Also in line, a girl in a white dress with black ooze coming out of her mouth came up to my sister. She was terrified out of her mind and the performer kept sticking her tongue. We laughed at the way my sister cowered in fear

There were multiple times where a man with a bag over his head chased us with a chainsaw. I was completely out of breath but it was totally awesome nonetheless.

We got photos with a clown statue! It was very cutesy 🎀

I had a very wholesome interaction with a Staff member who had really short blonde hair and super cute glasses. I complimented her hair and she said "awww, thank you! I love your hair!" and that made me feel nice so I just thought I'd share

In the actual house, there was a room that was like the freezers filled with meat—like the ones that have the cow's carcasses hanging from the ceiling right? I forgot what it's called but you get the point. Looked awesome

On multiple occasions did performers pop up out of nowhere, or stand still for a few seconds so we thought it was a statue and then chase after us. It felt oddly nice to see their faces through their masks when I did not react

There were lots of rooms that had creaky bridges, as well as one of those rooms with a bridge that has moving walls all around it so you think you're spinning. Very fun!

Some robotic things that looked like dead, bloody, naked grandmas with strobe lights kept popping out of the walls and at one point I just said, "you really need to work on getting a good skincare routine."

Before you go in there's a family photo place and so we took ours and then got in line. I proceeded to yell at a few teenage girls taking their photos, "BADDIESSSS! POSE FOR ME; ASS FAT SLIM THICK NO TUMMY" and we had a laugh

My sister told one of the performers that his mask was "cute! that makes you look sexy" as a joke and he proceeded to follow her around

I asked a performer if he liked pineapple on pizza and he just shook his head no. My brother shouted "right answer!" and I shouted "WRONG" at the same time and then we just gave each other a really judgemental look

On multiple occasions did I ask performers if I could get their snap, or friend them on roblox. (As a joke, of course.) They all looked at me weird and moved on.

There was a room with a phone that kept ringing and my brother and I both said, in sync, "hullo? hullo hullo?" like Phone Guy from FNaF. T'was quite amusing

There was a room that was supposed to be a run down Chinese restaurant with a distorted audio of someone calling out order number. I proceeded to order egg rolls and I could've SWORN the audio responded to me like "5 egg rolls? Will that be all? Okay that'll be 5.99 at the first window thank you ma'am"

The room right after that had a girl pop out and just continuously scream at us as she writhed on a table. My brother used a British accent and curled up his mustache to be all like, "screaming child! Oh, dear me, where have your parents run off to?"

There was a mirror maze like the Funhouse in It: Chapter Two and I got completely lost 💀

There were also lots of times where I didn't react to the scares that I just complimented the performer's makeup or masks. They mostly responded by doing a sinister laugh or screaming at me, but there was one time a performer looked appreciative for a moment but then looked at me like "oh shit I just broke character"

There was some random photo of Joseph Smith hung on the wall and as a (non-active) member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints I personally thought that was hilarious

Overall, it was a 10/10 experience and I'd totally go back with my friends or something. I loved hearing little kids scream bloody murder. It's called "13th Floor Haunted House" for anyone who wants to go, and you have to be at least thirteen to enter

[yolon3rwolf]

I have to be honest I feel like korrasami was a last minute retcon thrown in at the last minute forcing two girls who were barely friends together breaking the narrative pointing to makorra getting backtogether they barely interacted with each other and people overreacted to any minor moment between them and claim its evidence like the letter ( if asami was a guy no one would ship it ) the narrative pointed to makorra getting back together which had actual buildup girls complimenting each others appearance is normal and can happen platonically while have a man do that with a female character is a harder thing to do since portraying a platonic m/f relationship if asami was genderswapped you would have to change some of korra and asamis moments like the whole helping her get dressed. ( I a msorry but the argument of but there wasnt any lgbt rep is a shallow argument made to try and guilt trip people good writing is more important then lgbt rep there can always be another show where they include that good writing is more important its funny how people who try to imply that people who argue against korrasami only do so because of the genders involve reveal thats why they support it given how often they use the f/f ship card or say there are tons of shows where a het ship becomes canon as if thats why we ship it ( it makes me imagine their reaction if that last minute retcon hadnt happened and someone told them to just wait since going by those words korrasami being a same sex ship

My brother in Christ it's 2023. If at this point you're still hung up on the ship that didn't happen in a cartoon from a decade ago it's time to let it go. This is your sign. I hope that helps answer your question.

[scyllas-revenge]

Oof. That's a really interesting read, thanks for sharing it! It really cements the very depressing idea in my head that Tolkien made Eowyn as awesome as she is entirely by accident.

She deserves better than all the men around her, and even when I first read LOTR as a middle schooler with zero reading comprehension skills I was pissed that no one was taking her accomplishments seriously enough. Everyone should've been falling all over themselves apologizing to her in the Houses of Healing once they got it through their thick skulls what she did and what she was going through and like I know this isn't the point of her story and blah blah war is bad etc etc but HELLO she killed the witch king WHERE are the statues you're building in her honor??

I was head over heels in love with Faramir when I first read these books and even then I was pissed at how he interacted with Eowyn. He spoke plenty about how goddamn sad she seemed, but I kept waiting for him to even ONCE express even the SLIGHTEST awe at the heroic deeds that landed her in the hospital in the first place! Or hell, even any interest in her that wasn't explicitly because she's pretty or sad or pretty because she's sad. I wanted so badly for him to like her for who she was- but I guess for just about every single character, that is who Eowyn was. Tolkien can't even mention her in passing without waxing poetic about her grief and sadness and beauty (but in a sad way). And Faramir didn't even think "wow she's sad because her last parental figure is dead and practically forgot she existed and she's been forced into an invisible caretaker role for years with this creepy guy breathing down her neck while her own brother ignores what she's going through and also we're in an all-consuming war on the brink of apocalypse," he just went "she's sad because heartbreak."

So....yeah I VERY strongly prefer movie Faramir over book Faramir, even though that's not a very popular fandom opinion (and I get it, movie Faramir is far from perfect, but at least he doesn't mention Eowyn's goddamn sadness all the time. Plus, being tempted by the ring knocks him off his high horse a bit lol. you're only human, bro, no matter how tall and grim and tall you are). There are lots of things the books do incredibly well that don't make it into the films, but I find myself liking more and more of the movie versions of the characters over their original counterparts (especially Theoden, jesus christ book Theoden pisses me off).

Wow I have gone entirely off topic sorry XD i barely know what i'm talking about anymore. I'm writing all of this during a zoom call about important government work i'm just tired and mad and sad

Got real exercised about Peter Jackson’s defanged Eowyn and needed to draw my girl going slowly out of her mind as Aragorn’s apathy makes her more and more desperate until she finally breaks free of the chains that bind her and decides that if she is to die, she would choose how.
