#WHAT THE FUCK RINNA

[poppurini]

warming up to you

Pairing: Lilia Vanrouge x gn!reader

Synopsis: you weren't too keen on the school playboy, but maybe his persistent efforts have started to wear you down?

Tags: fluff, shoujo manga inspired, modern au, mixed school, flirting, lilia cooks, silver is lilia's adopted sibling, reader (millie) likes more masculine men for a bit

Word count: 1k+

Notes: this was requested by my dearest millie @hheun!! mwah mwah i love talking to you and every time i get a notif from you im just smiling automatically at how you're handling Lilia ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡

her request was very long so maybe i'll post it separately (cuz funni), but this takes place in a modern school au and the events that take place were specifically designed for millie hehehe #millia

to millie: heart attack incoming!! hope u enjoy it ;)

lilia vanrouge is the vice president of the diasomnia house

so when you first saw him, you respected him quite a bit, though his features did make him seem a little out of place as compared to malleus, silver and sebek

you quickly learned that those exact features made him incredibly popular

maybe overly so, because every time you saw him, you could see him flirting with an entirely different person

the first time you actually spoke to him, he was looking for his misplaced pencil case, still wearing the overly large science coat with the large goggles resting atop his head

"Excuse me dear, I seem to have misplaced my pencil case and I have no idea where it could be. Would you be a dear and join me in my search?"

you simply raised an eyebrow, and shook your head no

he pursued his lips and made a pouting face, but you just stared blankly at him

relenting, he sighed and turned around to find someone else to help him with his search

you could faintly hear a "... Am I not cute enough today?"

fortunately (or not), you stumbled across a pencil case at the edge of the staircase, with diasomnia, light music club, and bat keychains attached to the one zipper

hmm, he must have dropped it while switching classrooms

so you bring it to the diasomnia house room, where you were greeted by silver

you entrusted the pencil case to silver, but not without him asking for your name and class so Lilia could say thank you properly

of course, you tried to leave, really not wanting to get involved in any sense with the playboy and his fanbase

but silver being the dear that he is insisted on having your name

the next day, as you were walking to your classroom, Lilia appeared seemingly out of nowhere

he thanks you, but starts rambling off "Oh I knew I was cute enough yesterday! How sweet of you to help little old me, khee hee!"

ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ ...sure, lilia-senpai

you try to brush off his gratitude with a quick "you're welcome" and "it wasn't a bother really"

but then he's spouting "It must be fate that you were the one to help me! Darling, won't you let me return the favour? Perhaps, with a date?" he says while batting his eyelashes cutely

??? no??? you weren't into the cute type of guys, you liked more masculine, muscular men ahem leona senpai

so you rejected him honestly, but rather than be upset, his eyes are just twinkling mischievously (uh oh)

after that event, you just started encountering him randomly in your school life

popping up randomly to ask you out because he looked particularly cute that day

asking you to come over to the light music club after school

you continued to reject him, thinking he was just playing around like with all the other girls

but then one day, he came up to you with a request

"Dear, would you happen to be good at baking?"

see, silver's birthday is coming up, and apparently it's all the rage nowadays (so he says) to have a homemade cake rather than a store-bought one and "of course, it's also more nutritious"

but, rather infamously, Lilia's not the best cook

see the white day incident, where he made chocolates in return for all the ones he received and almost succeeded in murdering everyone's tastebuds

so nobody really wants to work with Lilia in the kitchen, not even his devoted(?) fangirls

usually you would've rejected his request, for two reasons, one being the rumours of his cooking, and two being not wanting to become further involved with him

but he seemed so sincere about his wish for silver, and so downcast at being unable to make the perfect birthday cake that you couldn't help but agree

on the condition that he listen to your every word whilst working in the kitchen

and thank god for that condition, because you quickly learned why he was a bad cook

"But this recipe isn't nearly nutritious enough! Shall we add some lettuce? Or perhaps..."

Lilia, we're baking a cake, not a salad...

you felt so bad for whoever was his partner in home economics

but you gave him the task of whisking the eggs after having him prepare the stovetop, where you planned to melt the butter in a saucepan...

"There was one time I went abroad and brought something back for Silver..." Lilia recounted, his hand hard at work whisking the eggs.

But just as you were getting lost in his storytelling, disaster struck. The stovetop suddenly caught on fire, flames dancing dangerously high. Panic welled up within you, and before you could react, Lilia acted swiftly.

"Careful!" he exclaimed with urgency. With the grace of a gallant knight, he pulled you close, his body a protective shield against the fire. His surprisingly serious face caught you off guard, the fiery glow reflected in the depths of his crimson eyes. His arms were a fortress, secure and tight around you.

Thump. Thump.

In a matter of moments, Lilia turned off the gas and moved the saucepan away from the stovetop, as if he were used to dealing with emergencies in the kitchen.

"Are you alright, dearest?" he asked, genuine concern in his eyes.

You took a moment to collect yourself, your heart still racing. "Oh, uhmm, yes, I'm fine... Wait, did you turn the stove all the way up?"

Lilia looked a bit confused as he admitted, "Yes? I wanted to melt the butter faster."

You couldn't help but shake your head in exasperation. "Lilia!!!" you exclaimed, incredulous at his impulsive cooking decisions.

He chuckled, seemingly unfazed by the near-disaster. "Well, it did the job, didn't it?"

thankfully, you manage to finish the cake without either of you getting hurt

it's not the best looking cake, but it definitely has a homemade feel to it, only enhanced by the chopsticks used to support it

you also get invited to silver's birthday party! lilia keeps trying to take pictures with you and ask you out

only this time, you can't help but feel more affected by his attempts than you were before

maybe you've taken a liking to the playboy afterall ;)

"Goodness, isn't it about time you give me a chance, darling?" Lilia playfully pouts, placing his hands on his hips in a mock display of irritation.

He sighs, before a rueful smile graces his lips. "Well, I suppose it's alright for now. I'm a very persistent man, you see," he says, his unwavering gaze fixed on yours.

I need more GNC OCs I think

[possessedopossum]

Why do people love to project their family issues into fictional women so much? [I need to bitch about the way fandom treats Caterina]

I've seen so happen to Leandra. You yell one (1) time at your child on screen and you're the worst mother in Thedas. Obviously women need to learn how to turn their emotions off when they have children and you can't express your negative feelings even if your other child had died a terrible violent death on your eyes 5 minutes ago. Btw you can't explain such feelings in a calmer "healthier" way either bc that would mean therapy speech and that the game has bad writing. No feelings for mothers, okay? They're robots.

Leandra haters walked so Caterina Dellamorte haters could run. While I get it that Caterina isn't beating child abuse allegations, Caterina's image in fan fiction is truly something else.

Since WHEN she is homophobic??? Since when she is racist??? Is there a transphobic line from her I somehow missed? Did she misgender Rook somewhere?

Caterina is a character of questionable morality and yet fandom insists on her being way worse than she already is. Please I beg you pay attention to the source material. She isn't 100% evil. Not only Teia makes it out alive after calling Caterina "nonna", we also learn that Caterina is secretly very fond of Teia. I wonder why.

Caterina doesn't beat the shit out of Lucanis and Illario just because she is an evil abusive control freak. She does so because that's what crow training is. She does so to ensure her last surviving family members continue to stay alive. She isn't throwing her fucking flip flops at Lucanis for bringing home a bad grade on his math assignment. Or just because she had a bad day at work.

If I had to judge her parenting skills, I would be more concerned with Caterina's favoritism and her treatment of Illario. The harshness of crow training has nothing to do with Caterina's personality. She isn't even the worst crow trainer. Whoever trained Zevran, Taliesin and Rinna didn't even care if they live or die. Caterina cared. Mistreatment of Illario is however 100% Caterina's fault.

I would also be concerned with the reasons of her favoritism. Is Lucanis actually better than Illario or is he somebody Caterina can project her grief for her dead daughter into? Her favorite daughter being Lucanis' mother seems too much to be a coincidence. And it paints Caterina in somewhat sympathetic light anyway. You can't grieve for somebody if you have never loved them in the first place.

I don't understand writing Caterina as a terrible (grand)mother-in-law for Rook who romanced Lucanis. There are zero cases of her being rude to Rook. She looked reasonable but stern enough to be the first talon in eight little talons. Ofc she's still hard to deal with and there may be conflicts but there are literally no reasons to believe she is a bigot. Boiling it all down to petty fights between her and Rook for who gets Lucanis looks pathetic. He is ~35, for fuck's sake. And she is what, at least 70? Caterina wouldn't have 8 grandchildren if she was so possessive. Rook is also a god-killer which is a great PR move for house Dellamorte, having not one but two god-killers.

The desire of some rookanis shippers to strip Lucanis of almost everything he is looks so off to me. Death IS his calling. He IS aware that his family isn't exactly perfect, he doesn't need Rook to tell him that. Why is it so hard to understand that people may love something and understand all its flaws at the same time?

The petty envy from some Rooks screams "pls somebody help me I'm very insecure when it comes to relationships and splitting affection" without characters' authors recognizing the envy for that it is. Why do you want Rook to be the center of Lucanis' life so bad? Why do you want to strip him of his love for his family, profession, his friendship with Neve? What will be left of him if you do so?

I'll wait some months before opening ao3 again. It did give me a thousand yard stare. Would like to hope that at least the mischaracterization will go away eventually...

Me: Okay, brain, that last time was depressing as fuck, but I guess that's what I get for picking such a depressing scene as the basis. How about we come up with some headcanons about Zevran and the Warden, mmm?

Brain: Zevran probably had a nightmare where the Warden was in Rinna's place at least once.

Me:

[kurczeno]

holy fuck i feel bad for taliesen

so, as we know he was romantically involved with both of his companions. In the World of Thedas it's stated that after Rinna's death, Zev couldn't get any job done and Taliesen probably covered up for him. Then, Zevran decides to take a job in Ferelden that nobody else wants, because it's basically suicide. And despite all that, Taliesen comes to Ferelden once again, hoping he can cover up for Zev's mistake and save him. And he gets killed for that.

It's kind of a shame that all we get is Zev going "yeah he was important... anyway, here's the earring". I know, he's cutting ties with The Crows and all, it's a pivotal moment, but the man was devastated after what happened to Rinna. I'd assume Taliesen didn't mean as much, but surely it warrants a little more than "I'll be sad for a minute"

[bishounenbtr]

i like to think about the guys's family situation a lot because it's barely, and i mean barely, touched on in the show.

these are just some headcanons that i believe, but i feel like most of these are universal.

kendall: so obviously, we have ms. mama jennifer knight and katie. his dad's out of the picture for reasons unmentioned. however, kendall and jennifer's actors confirmed that initially, it was supposed to be that kendall's dad cheated on jennifer and walked out on them (presumably right before katie's birth.) it makes a lot of sense when you put it into context with kendall's actions throughout the show. for example, in s2ep1, "welcome back big time," kendall literally almost ruins his relationship with jo after suspecting her of cheating on him, even though she reassured him multiple times. another example is during "big time concert" when kendall is upset at gustavo because he "didn't even say goodbye." i think that struck a particular nerve in him.

also, speaking of gustavo, i know we like to talk about the parallels between him and kendall. i mean, the show even outwardly mentions it in the first episode. in "big time mansion," kelly mentions that gustavo didn't really have a chance to have a fun childhood. another popular headcanon that i totally agree with is that kendall had to grow up faster than other kids, what with his dad walking out. they both had to grow up fast in their own respective ways.

james: we actually get to see BOTH of his parents! even if we see his dad for literally one second during big time concert. also, semi-unrelated, whoever cast lisa rinna as his mom is an absolute fucking genius. anyway, we got to know a lot about james's family. his mom and dad are divorced, and his dad then goes on to marry a woman 15 years younger. james's mom is controlling and overbearing, but ultimately just cares. back in minnesota, i'd like to think that james mainly lives at his mom's place, but his mom's a workaholic and isn't home that often. james would probably stay at his dad's place every weekend or every other weekend. and, i don't think he would be fond of his step-mom at all. his dad and his step-mom would have a baby and i think james would hold a lot of resentment towards the kid like he's being replaced. but, he just considers himself an only child.

carlos: we get to see both of his parents ! but they're actually super chill and normal. we meet carlos's dad (i can't remember his name, if it's even mentioned) in "big time break," who is a police officer. and then, of course, we meet his mom, sylvia, in the mom episode. and she is an it data analyst! i see carlos as the baby of the family with 2 or 3 sisters that are college-aged and older, so they were all moved out, even back in minnesota. idk imho, carlos probably has the most normal, traditional and loving family.

logan: his family situation is the most vague out of the 4. we meet his mom, joanna, in the mom episode. god bless the mom episode. and she is a real estate agent! logan is definitely an only child. his parents are both work-aholics, so they are not around. i see his dad as having a medical job, maybe a surgeon, which is why logan wants to be a doctor so bad. i think his dad holds very high expectations for him regarding academics and whatnot. like "son 'a' is for AVERAGE so i expect you to get them." yadda yadda.

and yeah thx for reading. lmk if you guys have any other headcanons

[sotc]

IT'S JOEVER.

I BEAT ORIGINS. my heart is so full and i have so many feelings but ahhh I loved it SOOO MUCHHHH!!! Honestly surprised with how quickly I attached to my Warden and her story, all the companions are SO SO great. 10/10 best dragon age game by far.

I really enjoyed leaving Milana and Alistair to very much caring for each other after everything was said and done despite the unrequited romance. 😭💗 My heart is so full about those two being such such good friends. And I especially love that Morrigan and her became so close like sisters in the end too. Live well, my friend. Live gloriously. BABY GIRL I LOVE YOUUUUU. Special kiss to the wind for SHALE. Honestly the best person Milana loves to be snarky with fr. lol. NOW ONTO ZEVANA....

Just before the big battle with the Archdemon and I was exploring a few options and I personally headcanon it's a combination of these two scenes that Milana and Zevran share. Milana worried to put him in danger of the Archdemon only for him to tease and insist to come with her before she relents/agrees and finally admits that she loves him. There's something so profound in him not saying it back and yet equally so with Milana saying it to him. She doesn't even need to hear it back in this moment. She knows what he feels mirrors her own; he would choose to be by her side at the end in a shared suicide mission than not at all. That alone is her courage, her strength, her resolve. And Zevran knows it love despite himself but how fucking painful and scary is it to hear those three words in the face of uncertain death? When the last time he heard those three words from Rinna he had damned her and himself? To recognize once more his heart has been touched so irrevocably? He may be grateful fate has brought them together but the circumstances of it all are so, so cruel. Fate is a tricky whore!!!!! What a lovely and incredibly intimate character moment for the both of them. Ugh <33

... BUT ANYWAYS THEN THEY BOTH LIVED YAYYY!!!

MY FUCKIN BABIESSSSSS. SOBS. JUST-- RUN AND JUMPS INTO THAT MANS ARMS AND SMORCHES TF OUT OF HIMMMM. If only to slap his shoulder and roll her eyes when he teases her at the end there LOL. Sooooo... now to play Awakening and all the other dlcs I have yet to do? :)

[tipsy3695kiss]

what. the fuck. bagsjdnf. lisa rinna anecdote about when amelia was in her “spitting phase” and she told her that if she kept spitting at her mum she would grow a penis and she never spit again.

[tevinterdays]

i cannot emphasize enough how much roland and lacklon mean to me

ofc i expect queer characters in da, but in film and tv etc, i'm so used to queercoding or accidental tension. this applies across the board, but it's being fulfilled more often as time goes on. so infrequently with mlm relationships.

i wasn't surprised when miriam and hira kissed - it was a pleasant affirmation that the series wasn't chickening out or being pressured out of rep for purposes of the show. and we've had a handful of canon wlw relationships in da, of varying visibility and relevance. celene and briala (ech), vaea and charter, sera and dagna (conditionally/in the bw canon timeline), branka and hespith, maybe others, that's just what's been in the media i've consumed.

mlm-wise, with named characters, there's dorian and bull (conditionally), karl and anders, and zevran and taliesin (and rinna).

out of these, branka and hespith, karl and anders, zevran and taliesin are are completely off-screen, all being in the past, and the latter two are conditionally revealed to the player.

anyway i fully expected roland and lacklon to just be awkward teasing through the end, one-sided and miscommunicated, maybe lacklon was actually straight, whatever. and they actually fucking kissed and . sdkghsdkgsdhf. jesus christ. jesus CHRIST

meaningful. i can't do analysis or anything here i'm forgetting how to type. your honor i love them they are so important

[tokuteasings]

Sooooo part 2 happened and I am still wheezing

Rinna broke things off with Gen san because she found DMs and thought he was cheating on her

But. Here's the thing.

THE DMS WERE FROM HIROMI.

Apparently they kept in touch after The Mystery and occasionally meet up.

I'm just. What in the name of crackfic is this 🤣 Wtf were in those DMs Hiromi?! (The ones I managed to see clearly, they were making plans to eat at an Italian restaurant lmao)

Also he was wheelbarrowed in by Tamaki unconscious and still half naked in front of Rinna lmao he's such a disaster I love him more (unfortunately, we do not see him getting dressed...)

I FUCKING KNEW IT WAS FROM HIROMI, ITS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE PERSON HE WOULD EVER COMMUNICATE WITH HUFIHUGHEUG

god hiromi is such a disaster but he's OUR disaster

[cyrusstarchaser]

For the series asks: Kamen Rider Drive & Kamen Rider Saber :)

Sorry for the late reply, it took ages finding the ask game post lmao

Drive Fav Male has to be Chase. He's just so...Chase, ya know? Toku has taught me that I am weak to slightly sad purple robots. I don't know that this is actionable information but it is interesting that it happened twice.

Drive Fav Female I want to say Kiriko but the truth is it's Rinna, I fucking ADORE Rinna. What a great trope-y characer - crazy scientist lady who is slightly older then the main cast but acts/dresses like a highschool girl. What a fashion icon fr fr And her punching through the montage in the Revice crossover??? Chef's kiss baby.

Drive Fav Pairing OF COURSE it's Gou/Chase, but I want to take a sec and talk about how much I love Shinnosuke/Kiriko and Heart/Brain/Medic. Like first of all, Shinnosuke's Li Shang Bisexual "Oh shit I'm in love with Oh shit, I think he DOES actually like women and it's not just the writers pushing something!" As for the Roidmude trio I mean c'mon, they are perfect. Also like...queer poly rep, even if they are kinda toxic lmao

Drive Least Fav Character would probably have to be Freeze actually. I have a lot of problems with that story arc in general, Freeze seems like an unnecessary villain and it feels like the stuff with Shinnosuke's dad is just squeed in there :/

Who's Most Like Me ...Gou(derogatory) I can fit so much projection on that secondary Rider hoo boy.

Most Attractive Chase

Three More Characters I Like would be Honganji Jun, Brain and every single Shift Car

Saber Fav Male has to be Ren, I feel SO BAD for him throughout Saber. Like yeah, Touma and Kento are GOING THROUGH IT, but Ren is just a kid and there's no one there for him cause everyone else is grieving - poor kid slips through the cracks.

Saber Fav Fema- MEI!! IT'S MEI! HOLY SHIT I LOVE MEI!! She's just an actual ray of sunshine??? I adore everything about her

Fav Pairing It would be a lie if I said Kento/Touma, because the truth is I am weak for kaijin/human pairings so I have to say Ren/Desat. I love that despite their slightly hostile vibe they really care about each other in a way no one else has before.

Least Fav Character would have to be Yuri I suppose. I would say Saber's only flaw is having too many characters, and by the time Yuri shows up there's almost not enough screen time to go around as is. So it's not Yuri's fault, per se lol

Who's Most Like Me? In Saber that's a hard one. I would probably have to say Kento, especially post resurrection where he, in a way, has to learn how to be hopeful again.

Most Attractive Rintaro probably. He's kind and calm and caring.

Three More Characters that I Like would be Reika, Touma and Tassel

[hisui-dreamer]

WHAT THE FUCK RINNA WHAT DID I DO TO YOU ARE YOU AND ELI CONSPIRING AGAINST MY EMOTIONAL DOWNFALL BCS IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW UGHHH

ALDHAKSKALHA TRUST ME I WANTED TO WRITE SOMETHING FLUFFY BUT "SUMMER" JUST LED ME DOWN TO A "memories of a bygone past" VIBE

also i was heavily influenced by this song and the lyrics just hit hard

at least it's a hopeful ending unlike the trainwreck of emotions Eli threw us into😭

Iconic Moments of RH 2022

It’s that time of year where I look back on the moments that defined Real Housewives from January to December, and this year was another rollercoaster ride.

I originally started with this because of the weak seasons the shows were having, and silly me who didn’t want to acknowledge that it’s the beginning of the end for the franchise decided to counter the criticism with an appreciation post.

What I can say about 2022 is that it has been a strange year. And if I’m going to be honest, it has been a Bravo year of failures, really.

Heather Dubrow couldn’t save RHOC, so now the producers has brought back Tamra Judge, Vicki Gunvalson and even Taylor Armstrong as a friend!

Erika Girardi and Lisa Rinna were successful in derailing the focus from Erika’s legal issues and drunken behaviour by exposing Kathy Hilton.

But the much-anticipated trip to Aspen became a huge fiasco since there were no footage or audio from Kathy’s so-called meltdown.

The newest housewife Diana Jenkins was another fiasco.

And while RHOBH had a dramatic season, it was an incredibly toxic season that wasn’t that much fun to watch.

There is still no sign of a new season of RHONY or the RHONY Legacy show on Peacock, since Bravo can’t come up with a cast that works, so there’s another failure.

Casting for season 13 of RHOA was allegedly a disaster as the producers were left with promoting Marlo Hampton, bringing Shereé Whitfield back (again!), renewing Drew Sidora and bring in the newcomer Sanya Richards-Ross.

Against all odds, the cast actually worked, even if it wasn’t perfect. It made their season somewhat of a mixed bag with some great moments and some disappointing moments.

As for RHOSLC it’s apparent that the show is in serious trouble without Mary Cosby’s quirkiness and soon loses Jen Shah as her sentencing begins in January. 

As Bravo hadn’t hired anyone to replace Mary or Jennie Nguyen, they were left with 5 housewives and 3 friends. I’m just afraid that RHOSLC won’t last very long without the big personalities like Mary and the Shahmazing Jen.

As I said, a year of failure pretty much.

The only shows that were solid and kept me fully entertained throughout the season was RHOM, RHONJ and The Ex-Wives Club!

I know that people might disagree with my list, but it’s my personal list with my favourite moments. Please let me know what your favourite moments of Real Housewives in 2022 was.

1) “Lenny is dating her now!” 

The unravelling of Lisa Hochstein’s marriage is one of the most fascinating and most real the Real Housewives has been in decades!

The moment when she told the women about the chaos her life has become in one week was epic. From all the crazy details about Lenny Hochstein, to Guerdy Abraira’s screaming in shock and Alexia Echevarria unleashing her wrath.

This was Housewives Gold.

2)  “She was a fucking pharmaceutical rep, you fucking idiot!”

I just loved this moment with Jennifer Aydin from the season premiere of season 13! 

Margaret Joseph was accusing Jennifer of lying and being fake, but when she talked about Bill Aydin being unfaithful, Jennifer didn’t lie or deflect. 

She corrected her with the truth, and that’s truly a top tier Housewife move and an iconic moment. It’s one of my absolute favourite moments this year.

3) “You need another villain? Here I am.”

Now, this is not a fun iconic moment, but it was such an eventful party that I couldn’t leave it out of my list. And it’s impossible to chose one of the disastrous moments from the party, so I’ve settled with the entire mess!

In one corner we had Sutton Stracke having a bizarre and chaotic conversation (?) with Diana who was in a particularly bitchy mood that night, and a drunk Kyle Richards who was manhandling Sutton and belittled her miscarriages.

In the other corner we had a wasted Erika who mad an embarrassing ass of herself by trying to seduce Garcelle Beauvais’ oldest son and cursed at her youngest son.

This party was truly chaotic.

4) “No, she’s only five years older than me...”

Next on my list is the moment from RHUGT2 that I can’t stop thinking about. After Brandi Glanville threatened to fight Dorinda Medley, Phaedra Parks tried to calm her down at the bar.

She told her that she couldn’t fight Dorinda, because she was old enough to be her mother. And Brandi answered “No, she’s only five years older than me…” To which they started to laugh. Even the poor bartender started to laugh uncontrollably behind his face mask.

This moment was comedy gold. But so was RHUGT2. It was so surprisingly chaotic and hilarious. The show was one of the highlights in 2022.

5) “She’s a whore. She has fucked half of New York.”

This moment was from the second season of RHOSLC, but it aired in 2022. It was the hot mic moment of all hot mic moments, it would seem. And she’s suffering the consequences well into the end of season 3.

Lisa Barlow was unravelling in the most confusing way, at least to me. I didn’t understand why she was so upset with everybody and being so defensive. She made everything about herself and as she felt that Meredith Marks was unwilling to have her back, she flipped out.

She said the most horrific things about her so-called best friend, and I still don’t understand the anger towards Meredith. However, this was one of the most memorable moments in RHOSLC, and as it affects the relationship on the show during season 3, it deserves a spot on my list.

6) “Luckily you’re not on parole anymore.”

Teresa Giudice was not happy about Margaret at all this season. 

She questioned very understandable rumors about Teresa’s new boyfriend, which Teresa was refusing to listen to, and as the hostility built throughout the season, it exploded during their cast trip to Nashville.

This was the moment the women had teased to the press about as the table flipping 2.0. Was it as iconic as the original table flip? No, I doubt nothing ever will. But it was definitely a memorable moment that stood out this year.

As many of the other shows has suffered throughout the last couple of years, RHONJ is one of the shows that always deliver and always entertains. And the ratings show that.

7) “I’m a four time Olympic gold medalist! Put some respect on my name!”

Some might disagree with me that my only moment from RHOA this year is the moment with the newbie Sanya, but I don’t care.

I have mentioned time and time again how much I loved this moment. It was the same reaction as I had to Jennifer’s correction of Margaret’s accusation. It was a jaw-dropping moment, however, there wasn’t really as dramatic as RHONJ, which is why it’s lower on my list.

It��s also a cred for the newbie, for dropping memorable one-liners already in her first season. And I applaud that, and I’ve been missing that.

Sanya is a housewife with great potential, and I can’t wait for season 15.

8) “You’re the biggest bully in Hollywood and everyone knows it.”

People might feel that the fans give Kathy way too much credit for her portrait on RHOBH. And I understand that she might be overrated, however, Bravo made her the most important woman at the reunion as they continued to tease about her in two parts.

Bravo made it all about Kathy. And Kathy didn’t disappoint. She stood her ground against Rinna and Erika. They wanted to divert the attention away from Erika, so they leaked Kathy’s meltdown to the press.

As Kathy has been known for being more whimsical and hunky dory, it was surprising to see her defend herself at the reunion.

9) “I think we all know what happened, we just don’t want to talk about it.”

Heather Gay’s black eye. Oh God. It’s one of the most insufferable things that has ever happened on RHOSLC, and that show has really seen some things. Heather was everybody’s fan favorite. 

But the way she handled this black eye was infuriating. She early said that she needed a cover story to protect the women from suspicions, but by not telling the truth about it, she put them all under suspicion. And that’s reckless.

It was promised as a shocker in the trailer. As epic drama. But as we saw the season play out, it’s more like we got duped and taken for fools. It absolutely pissed me off.

10) “Peter says he has got beef with you.”

It was certainly one of the most bizarre arguments on RHOP so far. Mia Thornton attacked Wendy Osefo because of some bullshit Peter Thomas had told her in Miami. Why Mia felt the need to execute this beef on Wendy is everyone’s guess.

And while it wasn’t as shocking as the winery fight in season 5, this scene created a rage among the fans about the way the cast members treated Wendy.

Mia threw a drink and a purse at Wendy, and Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon blamed Wendy for some reason. The fans were enraged, and it became a huge scandal.

These are my favorite moments of 2022. What was your favorite moment in 2022?

fun little tidbits in qdt

for self-motivation more than anything, a list of some moments and scenes i look forward to writing... sry if this implies i'm further along than i am, i'm actually still writing chapter 2 and yet!! much to think about.

Adelmar's investigation of El milagro's previous owner, leading to her uncovering information about Zevran's parents and the Crows.

Digging into the Rosso Noche and what exactly their motivations are re: Rinna and the Azul contract.

"Where is Taliesen?" "I killed him." "... Because of me?" "... No."

Fucked up little interactions between Enrique and others.

Hamal & Leonor chess matches.

Hamal & Tati meeting. "Where are you taking me? Am I getting captured again?"

Zevran/Taliesen/Rinna flashbacks.

Hamal learning Antivan from lower class revolutionaries and Antivan Dalish and all of it showing up in his dialect.

Scene where Hamal and Zevran encounter one another at an opera and amid their touching reunion realize they've been tasked with killing the same man... I am desperately trying to work this in but may or may not survive.

Quique believing Hamal is a ghost when they first meet. This scene has already been reworked once. Will it survive?

Tristeza and Tati dynamics as a Dalish Andrastian convert and an ex-Andrastian nun. In Love.

Tristeza and Zevran conversations after he discovers she was arrested for a murder he committed.

The river scene.

Dancing, there must be dancing.

I think Tati offers to look for Hamal's mother's clan, but he'll panic and ask her not to. idk what this guy will do until I write it though

just adding additional context before i reblog lol bc this is super fucking gross, but this tweet is worded in a way that’s technically true, but at least to me is also slightly misleading (purposefully or not, but tbh i don’t trust anything i see from twitter without verifying first, and this goes for shit i agree with, too), bc based on this tweet, i assumed that netflix japan was implementing some widespread policy to use AI work, or requiring using AI work in all projects or something like that. here’s a quote from an article that explains exactly what this is referring to:

A lot of people are talking about Netflix’s new anime short, titled The Dog & The Boy—but not for the reasons the streaming company might have hoped.

On Wednesday, the company revealed that the short, developed by WIT Studio, used an artificial intelligence program as part of the creative process.

“As an experimental effort to help the anime industry, which has a labor shortage, we used image generation technology for the background images of all three-minute video cuts,” Netflix Japan announced on Twitter on Tuesday.

does that make it excusable or acceptable? NO!!! it’s still just as scummy as netflix’s other practices. they deserve all the backlash they get, it’s well deserved, and i hope that it effects actual change in their policies bc artists have deserved better pay and treatment for a long time. 

lastly, all i could find about what kind of AI art generator they used was that it was created by “Rinna Inc.”, and i couldn’t find information about what kind of data set they train their AI with, so i don’t know if it’s data scraped from the internet, or a more ethical data set? i’m skeptical of how ethical it might be given the track record, but maybe someone else knows more about rinna inc., and/or how they trained their AI.

I FUCKING TOLD YALL THIS SHIT WAS COMING AND YOU DIDNT BELIEVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

y’all want a pointless rant? I’ll give you a rant!

I know bc of my pfp that everyone associates me with Lisa Rinna (amen!), and someone on here the other day mentioned that they miss her on RHOBH and I have to say: THANK YOU I COMPLETELY AGREE! Soooo many fans wanted her off the show for her “mean girl behavior” — even though she wasn’t any worse than the rest, and is if that isn’t the entire point of the show — and then they all said they wanted Brandi fucking Glanville back??? bffr. Rinna absolutely helped make that show what it is, just as much as LVP did, and I’ll stand by that, not to mention she’s FAR more entertaining than any of the shows other “villains”.

Also, everyone is so far up Sutton Stracke’s ass that they don’t care how callous and rude she is. I get that most of the fandom wanted RHOBH to become the Sutton-and-Garcelle-hand-holding-kumbaya show, and now that that’s basically what it is, everyone complains that it’s boring. Huh! I wonder why!

and watching the fandom (full of the most insufferable shitlibs in the world) defend Kathy Hilton, canonize Kim Richards, and demonize Kyle, as if Kathy isn’t like a genuine Trump supporter. Like if you’ve ever spent any time on r/realhousewives, being a Trump supporter is genuinely the worst thing you can be (and I don’t necessarily disagree), but suddenly it’s totally okay when it’s Kathy Hilton. get real. Kim was guilty of being an asshole for no fucking reason, and she doesn’t get a pass just because she was an addict. God knows none of y’all showed Dorinda that same level of grace and empathy! Kyle is annoying and an instigator but she’s not worse than anyone else.

Erika sucks, I could take her or leave her. I love Krystal as a person but on the show she’s kind of a snoozefest, Garcelle too. I love Dorit, she’s ridiculous, keep her on. Sutton needs to go, like, yesterday. Like three seasons ago. I know there’s a new housewife on there now, but the season was so painfully boring I didn’t even get to her introduction.

This is why the only franchise worth watching now is Salt Lake City.
