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.

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!

[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."

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.

[rulerzreachf4n7]

Fight me all you want but huntlow/lumity antis are the weakest links in the toh community,

HEAR ME OUT...

...unless you don't have ears idk block the haters

SKIP IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN SHIPS WARS IT'S HONESTLY EMBARRASSING I HAVE TO SAY THIS!!

All this slander is coming from the goldric/huntmira/lunter/guster/amiter shippers, yes that's a mouthful, and yes I'll be blocking you if you're a toxic shipper, if your not, good! except if you ship amiter, fuck off you lesbianphobic bitch, anyways back to my rant, also sorry if this comes out as insensitive, rude, or if I sound over dramatic I just really hate these types of people

If I had a dime for every toxic shipper I've encountered since I first came into the toh community...BITCH ID BE RICH CAUSE SOME OF Y'ALL ARE WILD ASF 😭🙏, this is based off of a rant I got below this post so yeah credits to anon it was very helpful pookie

Y'all toxic ass shippers will go FUCKING PARAGRAPH LENGTHS TO DEFEND YOUR SHITTY SHIPS, and this is targated twords lunter and goldric, again, if you're not toxic this ain't for you I don't mean to offend anyone, cause tell me why there is this account on Pinterest, I ain't afraid to say their name it's something like TheGoldenCoven, or some shit like that, BROS A LUNTER FAN ACCOUNT 💀, and a toxic one too, dw I got some proof

How the fuck do you normalize the TWO MAIN COUPLE OF A SERIES??? Hunter was never intentioned to date Luz and vice versa, this is a perfect example of toxic a lunter shipper, and not only are they toxic they're...LESBIANPHOBIC!! I know it was probably from 2021 and they've moved on buuuut they did post amiter art, and they're not even a nice person although having in their bio "I'm nice you if you're nice to me" or some bullshit idk

As for toxic goldric shipper accounts I haven't seen any Pinterest or Tumblr accounts so that's good! But majority of the shippers are the most insufferable human beings on earth, their only excuse for shipping them is "they want a mlm couple and they're the same age" noting against wanting a mlm couple it'd be super nice...buy may I remind you this is post early season two...HUNTERS NAME WASN'T EVEN CONFIRMED YET 😭🙏, And let alone having only two or three minutes of screen time makes the ship have an even worse reputation, and the shippers are just bitchy and biphobic, always complaining that Hunter should be canonically gay instead of literally anything else so he can be shipped with only Edric, and I know huntmira shippers exist but I've actually never had an interaction with one, hopefully they aren't too bad

Y'all will come out withe the stupidest excuses not to ship huntlow/lumity, also sorry I got off track 😭😭, for lumity, don't know how it exists, but it's either "it's abusive" or "it's toxic" brother ew 💀, name one way Luz or Amity have hurt each other and DO NOT say it's by how Luz always makes stuff mess even though it's literally apart of her personality or by how she didn't wanna tell her about the portal door in S2 or how she accidentally helped Philip/Belos, I'll wait 😊, and I see the point of how Amity's personality downgraded to only being Luz's gf but she still did have her family problems but I guess they just didn't wanna make it an episode, I mean we got Clouds on the horizon that counts ig?

And for huntlow I keep hearing the same shit "I-Its a crack ship, I-Its forced, t-they have no chemistry 🥺🥺🥺" yeah I can see your toxic ass shipping a 12 and 16 year old together don't think you're slick bitch, and just because huntlow was rushed doesn't mean it's necessarily bad, you don't know if Dana had intentions on it but because of the cancellation it was forced to be rush, and I'm sorry to y'all hearing the shortened s3 excuse but it's true since there's literally no other explanation, also don't come into the comments saying "B-But you don't know that!!🥺🥺" it's just speculation my brother in Christ 😭🙏, merely a theory put together with brain cells which almost everyone in this community doesn't have, another weird double standard is how everyone ships gustholomule and veesha even though there's very little evidence it'll be canon was supposed to be canon but since it's a more noticeable and popular ship no one bats an eye for some reasons even though huntlow is too a popular ship, but these are the more bigger ones so I'll more obscure like cameda or aladarius which where probably never meant to happen and totally fandom operated

Anyways that's all, I'll block haters/toxic shippers in the comments so don't think you'll get a reaction outta me with some half baked and barely thought through argument you found in a Reddit post

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.

Stan, chuckling nervously: Yeah, I sure do.

[sparkling-pink-lemonade]

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.

i hope that whatever you write on here makes your life easier in some way. i don't know how, i just hope it does some good to someone somewhere. a lot of people are struggling right now, a lot of people are angry, and i know you're trying your best to make the world a better, safer place

it's strange how much kinship i feel with GCs on here. you're all screaming for safety, support for the next generation, an end to the oppression, an end to the patriarchy

we might be fighting on opposite sides- we've probably both seen some very different, very hard things. we've both a lot to the ways we have to live. i wish we could get along. i wish it didn't have to be this way

i won't argue that i'm a man despite my biology- not here anyway, there's no point, it won't achieve anything- but i hope you can find more friends like me and understand us better. we're not liars. we don't want to cause danger. i would beg you to listen to us but i understand that you can't.

i understand that you only hate trans women because a lot of men are total pieces of shit and don't care about anyone else. there's no point telling you that most trans women aren't bad. they're not good either. people just do what they do, both good and bad. nobody's perfect, and there are bad people in every area of society. Not all women are good. Goodness and womanhood are two different things.

i hope that your life gets better, and that your world gets bigger, and friendlier, and easier to be in.

Hey :) thanks for the kind words, but don't you see how you sound kinda like one of these performatively compassionate preachers talking to atheists? something like "hey. I know that you've had it hard. Now it's difficult for you to let Jesus into your heart. You've turned your back to God because people have hurt you. I understand that. But some day, I hope, you will return to Him, because He has nothing but love for you."

And I also don't know where you get the notion that I don't have any trans friends or that I don't know trans people. I interact with trans people about four times a week. Half of the women I've dated have identified as something other than women. I also use preferred pronouns, as long as the person in question is not a total piece of shit.

It would actually kinda funny if we knew each other in real life, and you think that I'm some kind of super progressive person lmao.

And also, why do you think that saying that manhood or womanhood isn't determined by some nebulous non-falsifiable spiritual bullshit means that I hate trans women? Or that I think that all trans women are bad? Or that all biological females are good? I've literally never said that I think that all trans women are bad people. I just say that they are not women.

I also don't know where you get the notion that I think that trans people are lying. I actually think that the majority of trans-identified people actually believe that they are literally the opposite sex, just as the majority of catholics believe that they are literally recieving the body and the blood of Christ in their sermons. The only problem arises when people start to push their beliefs onto others. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but nobody is entitled to affirmation from the world around them.

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.

Master list of all of my The Idiot fics in order

[hesbuckcompton-baby]

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

[pirdmystery]

Hello hello! thank you for responding to that ask i sent about olivia/mechanical dance and reila/logic the other week!! i continue to think about them all so often And brother i have no plans of stopping...

Because you know what else i find particularly tragic, is that mechanical dance is found only in the museum. olivia says multiple times that nature is basically the only place she feels at home at, and even in the terrifying nightmare woods of prehevil, she still earnestly Loves it! But then not only does mechanical dance rip all of that away from her, but the museum is literally fucking like, Infinite, A manmade labyrinth made to showcase exclusively manmade objects that is also basically impossible to escape from and will go on forever.

(Also does anyone else think about how, if he's alive, pocketcat daan is the one who takes [kidnaps] her to the museum in the first place. There are no other moonscorch-related interactions like this. Hello.)

Fuckkkkkkkk man...... i just think it's so sad and also a really good encapsulation of how moonscorching works, i guess. I see a lot of people say it's a representation of characters' insecurities, and that's True, but i also think it is MUCH more significant to realize that moonscorching is a form of mockery, of taking everything someone DOESN'T want to be and forcing them to become that anyway.

I hope this isn't too long 😭 and i hope you don't mind my musings again! Hope you're having a good day/night no matter what!!

oh my god thank you for another opportunity to go insane about all of this!!!

it is seriously SO cruel to trap olivia in the museum i hadn’t even thought of that aspect of it really… all my energy had gone to thinking about how horrifying it is to see pocketcat with that empty fucking wheelchair. jesus christ. which could send me on a whole other tangent about how pocketcat is unique among the moonscorches, how daan, essentially, CHOOSES* this nightmarish fate because it’s better for him than basically every other option. but you’re absolutely right that the moonscorches feel like they’re mocking the contestants, turning them into the worst versions of their own fears about themselves in a way that feels like it’s twisting the knife more than revealing some truth. and daan chooses this. haha.

anyway enough about daan……. thinking about olivia feeling so out of her element in the museum reminded me of how insanely jarring it is to see her doppelgänger frolicking in the woods. like. the real olivia would be so happy to be able to do this. she loves the woods even when they’re spooky and evil. she talks about wishing she could dance. it kills kills kills me that we see this and when you talk to this monster it says olivia’s words (again, almost mockingly) but it’s not her. i think the doppelgängers are kind of underrated for how spooky they are, but choosing to give olivia one and have it run around in the woods is just!!!!!!! miro what are you doing this is mean!!!!!!! (i love it)

ahhhhh again i could go on about all this forever and i always appreciate the opportunity to do so :’)

[barrenclan]

i feel like it’s only right to start this one by saying this issue gave me silly warm feelings inside, something i hardly expected from the same comic where the protagonist dug up a skeleton. exactly what i had needed on a warm day

i can’t help but be proud of slugpelt. that one time cleaning with pinepaw and (nightberry?) must have really opened her eyes, and to the point where she realized she should be honest about their father? agh. her starting slow but getting more into the story? you can really see how important cashew was to her before he ditched her.

on that topic, i’m throwing cashew into the paper shredder. or a nut cracker, that might be more fitting. he saw slugpelt as a thing to have fun with!!! he toyed with her feelings bc he thought it was fun!!!!! he never cared about her!!! it came to the point where she thought she could trust him more than the brother she was raised with and i think she had a good relationship with!!! jesus christ!!!! awful kitty!!!!! awful bad kitty!!!!!! i hope he falls into a ditch and becomes one of the skeletons!!

the pinepaw coming out scene, ugggh. how he feels somewhat obligated due to the secret sharing family moment, and his immediate regret and guilt and shame for being ‘different’, and being pulled out of that when his mother comforts him with her muzzle. slugpelt, who hardly interacts with him, comforts him with her muzzle. that scene felt so special because of it, they’re all coming out of their shells and it’s so special. and slugpelt saying how she’s never heard of it before, but that doesn’t matter to her and she doesn’t think he’s weird??? that hit close to home personally which probably aided in my warm fuzzies, but i digress. his family is soo supportive and it makes me so happy, everyone in their own way with asphodelpaw being like “haha yeah the way u look at cormorantpaw makes it obvious hahahaha” and daffodilpaw being all “omg us moment”. i enjoy they all don’t act the same, it really cements how different they all are but how like this they’re still able to come together

it ending with it seems like a crack was sealed? my hEART. i want nothing but the best for this family oh my god. i love these warrior kitties i need them all to grow big and strong and for slugpelt to attend a therapist. actually all of them need a therapist probably

thanks for another good issue!!!! patfw means so much to me this issue is gonna sit in my head for the day

Heheh, this is a comic of both horrors and funtimes! We gotta have a good balance.

YEP that was exactly the moment, from Issue 15! When she realized that she was falling into her mother's patterns due to the neglect she suffered from her partner, and made an effort to turn way from it.

Cashew's a bad little man. I appreciate your righteous anger towards him, it's exactly what he deserves.

I'm so glad you liked the coming out scene, I played around with that one a lot to make sure it felt right! It was also important to me that all of his family members would react in different ways, but in the end they're supportive of him. It makes me really happy that you're enjoying the story. :)

[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.
