#Why is being mean & rude so cool to yall??

[kyuponstories]

It's so sad that we live in a time where this has to even be explained. Even here on Tumblr, people feel entitled to fanfic writers updating stories, and think it

heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.

why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.

ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.

they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.

so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.

you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".

of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.

and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.

my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.

it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.

now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.

people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.

Heyyy, I just found your writing and I love it so much 😭

I just wanted to ask for bistro huddy (idk if I spelled it right 😭) headcanons with a s/o that has anger issues. Like whenever they serve a rude costumer they can hardly contain themselves from smacking them with the turkey sandwich they ordered 😭😭. You could do whatever characters you like. You don’t have to take my request if you don’t want to btw. I don’t wanna force anything. Anyways, I hope you have a great day/night! Bye bye!!! ☺️

Heyy, I really enjoyed this one:3 sorry I’ve been gone for a while I had a very bad writing burn out. I’m gonna try and get as many done today as I can so expect more later! Hope you enjoy (none of my head canons are ever proof read so if there is a spelling mistake lmk)

Ruby, Terry, Joey, and Pickles with a S/O with anger issues

💋 She definitely has anger issues too but she can keep it under wraps.

💋 Will shit talk about the Customer(s) bothering you

💋She would probably go into the freezer with you to scream about the entire kitchen staff while you scream about the customers

💋 If you ever actually flip out at a customer she would lowkey be proud, or like in awe. I don’t think she’d encourage it but also she kinda would…

💋 “I didn’t think you had that in you, kind of stupid though. I mean It was kinda hot.”

💋 There’s a reason the chefs aren’t servers…

𝕋𝕖𝕣𝕣𝕪 (Masc reader)

👔 Lets you sit in his office(? Does he even have one… I’m assuming yall) to cool off and take a breather

👔 While your there he will tell you about how he understands it’s easy to get frustrated

👔 Trust me, this man understands. He goes through it almost every day.

👔 “I tell ya love, I know. I got Tim always calling my ass for things that, I tell ya, are just plain stupid!”

👔 Lets you talk about it and will probably crack a few jokes with you to help you feel better

👔 You flip out at a customer, you best believe this man it’s taking your side. What are they gonna do, tell the manager?!

ᴊᴏᴇʏ

🍨LOSES HIS TEMPER TOO! 

🍨 NOBODY is gonna treat his prince/princess like that?!

🍨 He flips out at the customer for you.

🍨 Another man who understands how idiotic people can be (despite being kinda dumb himself.)

🍨 “What the fuck are these people doing! If they gotta problem direct them to me sweetheart! Cause they could have a sandwich alright, a fucking knuckle sandwich!”

🍨 if you flip out, he would literally praise you for it, men’s glad you finally stuck up for yourself

𝙿𝚒𝚌𝚔𝚕𝚎𝚜

🍭 I don’t think he really understands why your upset when you come to the back 

🍭 Once you explain he would get mad too! 

🍭 How could you let them talk to you like that?! 

🍭 “Let me at him!”

🍭 offers you candy to make you feel better, will give you a few hugs to help you cool off

🍭 Will take you outside to the back for a bit to breathe while he says some (stupid) sweet things to make you laugh

🍭 If it keeps happening with the same person maybe he’ll get riled up enough to confront them, probably will chicken out last second

🍭 If he finds out you flipped out, he hyped you up after, even after getting yelled at by Terry

🍭 “You did so amazing! That’ll teach them!”

OK imma be honest and little personal, before I knew a little bit more about the LGBT, I just didn't care I just knew they existed, now that im older and apart of it nothing changed ngl...just maybe a little rude with it. I'm like "Oh you're gay? Cool want a cookie?" Or "Oh, you think being gay is the devils or whoever you claim doing? Want a medal?". I don't mind having people like having something for them but a month? Sounds like robbery 2 me like, What about soldiers like I mean the good soldiers who actually fight for their people? I'm sorry, but if I could, I would make certain... things like these two have at least a week, but like I said, I don't mind it... I just find it... wrong in a way...like think about it...when something big happens in your life (if yall do it like me) we just celebrate it in like that first week, like what I mean is for the first few days it's all "WOOHOO THIS HAPPEND TOO YOU" then the rest of the week it's just "congrats". Like I remember a few years back, I'm not sure if it's still the same now. But soldiers die every day and stuff, and all they get is a day, and everyone like "poor soliders rest in peace" and then go on about their lives after a few bours or something . But the moment a Trans person got killed, suddenly everyone dropped everything and talked about it for weeks....trying not to sound harsh, but come on....

Sugar I think you have a lot of inner work to do

Pride month cannot be boiled down to a celebratory party of sexualities and genders

While yes a major part of pride month is to celebrate lgbtq people it’s also about remembering the journey as to how we got here, plenty of people literally laid their lives down so there could be a celebration in the first place sugar I don’t know if you know this but trans people would literally use bricks and drop it onto their genitals or their chest to get rid of those parts, a lot of trans people died of cancer and other terminal illnesses because it was considered shameful to treat an openly trans person no matter what severe condition they had it’s also to raise awareness of how lgbtq people of color made a lot of things possible for us, did you know that before colonization native people had woman man and then a third gender that didn’t fall in either category white, Christian cis people wiped that out because it was considered abnormal and now today we have a whole chunk of people who are seen as abnormal because that whole gender identity has been wiped out pride month is to also raise awareness to everyone who can’t live their lives like they want to. It’s like international women’s day just because women in Europe have it good doesn’t mean that it’s fine and dandy all around the world

The reason as to why people don’t care much for soldiers is that the only ones discussed are American ones- soldiers belonging to armys who have more or less started the war in different places. Never have I seen people discuss the 10.000 soldiers that died in the srebrenica genocide - soldiers- boys 18 year old boys 10.000 of them- that had to forcefully enlist in the army because their country was going through a genocide

And the reason as to why trans people get so much coverage once they get killed is the same reason as to why women get so much coverage when they get horrifically murdered by a man they’re oppressed, soldiers are not oppressed soldier more often than not are the oppressors.

With that being said I do hope you take time to actually do research on your history because the reason as to why you can be like “woo I’m gay ok let’s move on with my day” is because of thousands upon thousands upon thousands lgbtq ppl that made sacrifices for you those sacrifices didn’t happen that long ago

Two nerds in a pod

Ross Geller x reader (reader is female with she/her pronouns)

warnings: just pure fluff, y/n is a doctor yall aka paleontologist, but that’s it 🥳 friends masterlist

Summary: The one where Ross met someone just like him and fell in love

posted: May 10, 2024

“And that’s why the Salin theory is pure bullshit!” Ross was going on and on about some paleontology theory. You overheard and walked over to the couch in the coffee shop. “Hi sorry I couldn’t help but over hear but are you a paleontologist by any chance?”

“Yes, yes I am.” You immediately got happy and squealed and his two friends jumped. “I am too!”

“Oh my god?! You are?!” You nodded. “Yes I love dinosaurs.”

“Oh my god there’s two of them.” His friend said you didn’t say anything cause you can tell he was joking. “Sorry for him that’s Chandler.”

“I’m Y/n. But ima go but here’s my number you should call me sometime and we can talk about how the Salin theory is indeed not bullshit.” You left your money at the coffee table and left. Ross had a dreamy look on his face.

“Wow! I never met another paleontologist?!” Ross said while looking at the card. They all just looked at him. “She’s just like you Ross.”

“I know!”

______

Ross never called. But that didn’t matter because you called him.

“Um hello.” He tried to sound cool. You laughed. “Hey mystery man. You know I never got your name.”

“Oh it’s Ross, Dr.Geller.”

“Oh we’re being formal? Well I’m Dr. L/n”

You guys got to talking and you kept trying to hint that you wanted to go on a date but he just wouldn’t get it.

“So what’s your dream date Ross?”

“Um probably something with astrology.”

“Oh my god! Ross I’m asking you on a date wanna go?” You took his silence as a yes. “Ok pick me up at 7:30.”

Oh he’s in for it.

______

You guys went on exactly ten dates. You were finally going to meet his friends and sister. You were nervous but excited. He just walked in and everything looked at you. That made you even more nervous.

“Everyone this is Y/n. Y/n this is Joey, Chandler, Phoebe, Rachel, and Monica.”

“Hi Y//n.” They all said. You just waved then the questions started. “So what do you do?” The blonde one with the unique style said.

“Oh I am a paleontologist.” They all groaned and you instantly felt insecure.

“Hey! Hey! Don’t be rude.” Ross said and they all fixed their attitude. He turned to you. “They’re just scared they’re going to hear about dinosaurs.”

“Oh I try not to bore people with my job.” They all smiled and went to hug you.

“We love Y/n!”

______

You guys were all at the coffee shop just talking. Then you found out something that you didn’t know about Ross.

“You were married three times?!” He looked at Joey who brought it up.

“Thank you Joe.”

“You only told me about the lesbian.” You turned to Ross in amusement. “What’s the story with the other two?” At the mention of the other two divorces everyone just walked away but stayed close. He grabbed your hands. “Well the second time I kinda said the wrong name.”

“Whose name did you say?”

“Yea Ross whose name did you say?” Phoebe added.

“Um well it was Rachel’s and before you say anything that was when I was in love with her.” You just nodded.

“And the third time?”

“Married Rachel is Vegas.”

“Wait after you said her name at the last wedding?!” Is he still in love her? Are you just a rebound? All the thoughts running through your mind. I mean you can be that girlfriend that completely takes him away for his friends.

“Well are you still in love with Rachel?”

“No no no. I don’t think about her anymore. Like ew Rachel.” He chuckled nervously.

“I’m right here Ross.” Rachel said.

“Rachel not the time!” Ross exclaimed. You are a little suspicious. I mean who wouldn’t be?!

“I promise Y/n. I am not in love with Rachel.” You just nodded.

Let’s hope this wasn’t a mistake.

______

“Come in!” I walked into Ross’s apartment. “Hey babe.” You gave him a peck on the lips. You came over so he can show you his fossil collection. You already showed yours and he swears he has a batter collection.

“These are 58 fossils ok?”

“Yeah Ross I can count.” He just shushed me dramatically and you giggled. You really like how funny he is especially when he doesn’t try. He began to show all them off and explain as if you guys aren’t in the same career path. But you let him geek out anyway. You got a little turned on by how excited he was and one thing led to another.

He should talk about fossils more often.

_____

You and Ross were at the coffee house with all his friends and you guys were talking about the Salin Theory. He said it doesn’t make sense and you say that it was a groundbreaking discovery. Obviously his friends were not fond of this conversation.

Chandler groaned. “I cant take it anymore!” You both just look at him. “Leave them alone Chandler I think it’s cute.” Phoebe said.

“Thanks Phoebe.” You and Ross said.

“Yea they’re like two nerds in a pod.” At this you both made a face and left. Now that you think about they’re really not all that different.

And you love that.

An: hope you enjoy my lovers 🤍🤍🤍

(Heres the link to pt.2 luv)

(Heres the FINALE)

Without further ado, ENJOY! (this one is a little short but pt.4 will be kinda lengthy)

Pt.3 

Gimmie one margarita imma…

He was far taller than Mirage, robotic features more stressed-looking than anything. And before either you Noah or Mirage could protest, he pick you up by your shirt, your hands reaching to flatten your skirt. There was about a 99% chance you’d just flashed both Noah and Mirage. 

The larger bot who you assumed was named Prime scans you, and soon his voice sends shivers down your spine. 

“Who are you?” 

The question is simple really but knowing you and the fact that he just picked you up with no kind of manners makes you slightly more irritable in your answer. Maybe you were a little butt hurt Mirage didn’t volunteer this information about there being other to you but know him he’d probably just say ‘You never asked!’ With that stupid, pretty, dumb, adorable look on his faceplates.

“I’m not answering anything because you just picked me up and expected me to give you answers. That’s rude first of all. Mirage, come get him-” You huff, seeing the larger bot raise a brow in response and look at the silver and blue-clad Autobot.

Mirage only chuckles nervously, removing you from Prime’s grasp, and putting his hands up in defense. You’d been only a tinnny bit aggressive when you’d met a couple days ago so why he expected you to be all peaches and cream with Optimus somewhat interrogating you, he had no idea. 

“Listen, had another tiny setback. I promise this one isn’t always so…fussy. She’s cool. Cross my spark.” He explains nervously, seeing Prime's optics narrow. This mf just called you fussy? Like a damn infant??? 

You go to speak out, but the depth sounding in Prime’s vocalizer makes you freeze. 

“You seem to have no concept of that undercover means. How you’ve landed in this predicament twice still baffles me” Prime sighs, looking back down at you. 

You’d managed to take refuge behind Mirage, still embarrassed by the fact that you were almost 100% sure he got a glimpse of your panties. Despite the garage being empty yesterday, it obviously had some other tenants who hadn’t a clue in the world you existed until now. This was way outta your league. Robots and 3 more of them at that, were far too overwhelming and you’d be damned if you wound up in the middle of some cyber bullshit.

Sure you liked Mirage, his personality and kind of play boyish looks made you swoon MAYBE a little bit….but from the looks of it, there were already girls like that back where he lived, hell one of them was just standing behind Prime while he chewed out Mirage…..AND WHY WAS SHE KINDA CAKED UP? That was beside the point though, they already had one human (Noah), and Prime wasn't looking for any extras (you) from what it looked like. 

Taking your chance to escape, you grab your purse and slide out of the garage quietly. The others were going from somewhat scolding Mirage to discussing a plan for something you didn’t quite care about at the moment. The best option was to disengage and maybe things could go back to normal! You could pack up for your apartment. Go back to work, maybe you’d do something with mechanics after this instead of nursing all day? You pop your AirPods in and press shuffle. 

It was getting late but there was just enough sun to find you a spot to wait for an Uber home. You’d talk with Mirage later, it looked like he had other priorities. Speaking of which, what was that whole interaction??? You shake the thought away, that moan replaying in your mind. This was so wrong.

Your heart beats faster at the thought of how he seemed to melt under you, his servos hovering over your hips, wanting to touch but being so unsure. The way his otic seemed to be hazy and the way his fan picked up in speed. You run your hands down your face and sigh, definitely feeling like a drink would be the best option….speaking of which, you never did get your night out.

_______________

It didn’t take long before Mirage realized you weren’t behind him. You’d obviously hightailed it during Optimus’s scolding and slipped past him like a thief in the night. Part of him knows you’re capable of handling yourself but the other half knows it’s not safe, especially now that you both have been formally introduced. And with what Arcee had reported, Brooklyn wasn’t getting any safer.

Apparently, a few more terrorcons had made their way back and we’re trying to do a bit of avenging considering Optimus ended Scourge rather brutally. In all, Mirage wasn’t one for the violence but when it came to helping his friends and the ones he loved, he’d set that aside for the best. 

Anyway, he didn't want you going anywhere without him, a sense of more or less responsibility for you washing over him. It was more of a protective feeling than anything, wanting to be the one to save you and keep you safe no matter what. The thought of you thanking him as your hero makes him weak. You knew what you were doing, touching him like that. He still couldn't get over the fact that you claimed it was for science….bullshit. The feeling was quickly becoming addictive and the longer you spent together the more he wanted you…fat chance. 

________ 

Remixed renditions of Kesha songs blast through the clubs' speakers as you and your girls dance the night away. You each took about 3 shots to get your blood pumping and your closest friend was about to make it 4. Your body moves on its own, bass filling your chest as you catch any and all ass your friends decide to throw. You took pictures and posted them on your story and everything seemed good!...sorta. The last of your worries should be some cyber alien crush that isn't even here right now…you can't help but let your mind drift.

A wave of…what was that guilt? Washes over you as you take a break from the dance circle, alerting your girls that you be ‘going to the bathroom’ a lie of course. Maybe this wasn't a good idea? Part of you felt kinda committed to Mirage. Before you could make it down the hall past all the commotion, a pair of hands are warm against your hips. Whoever it is… they're tall. The faint smell of motor oil fills your senses and you whip around to see a pretty good-looking stranger with eyes blue as the damn sky smirking at you. 

“Where you going, mamas?” He questions, moving his hips side to side playfully with the rhythm of the music.

You can't help but giggle. Something about him was so.. comfortable and fun and familiar, and so so so damn charming! He's smiling right back at you freckles somewhat adorning his face as his curly black hair falls over his eyes. He looks mixed, more so Hispanic or Latino and black. Blue eyes were odd though, but it didn't matter because, at the end of the day, this man looked like he'd won the genetic lottery.

Soon enough, you're back on the floor the cheers of your homegirls reaching your ears and you shake your head. This was just some spontaneous dude that just HAPPENED to catch you before you made it to the bathroom, not like you really needed to go anyway. He sways you, pulling a few cheesy dance moves here and there but it is enough to make you giggle. The previous song soon is chopped and screwed and transitioned to what sounded like a reverbed version of ‘Streets’.

Either way, the air had changed while people, couples or otherwise began finding space on the floor to dance up on one another. He didn't say much, spinning you slowly just before pulling your body to his gently. You may talk a lot of game, but you'd never danced with someone like this, let alone be so close. The feeling of his front pressed to your back makes you weak, the feeling sinking lower and lower as he holds each of your hips.

“Cálmate mama’s. You know I got you right?” He hums, your body relaxing a bit as you find the rhythm again, rolling your body with his to test the waters

That voice was so familiar….you ignore it, thinking it must the alcohol. There was no way he could…could he?

You didn't care, letting your head roll back and rest against his shoulder, your bodies synching with each other, his touch never feeling forced or aggressive. It's soft, kind, and almost loving...like he just wants to be able to feel your warmth, know the way you move. You work up the courage to speak, voice small, almost nervous. 

“I didn't catch your name stranger.”You state, hoping his response would answer your question.

If this was really him, then there was no reason to feel bad about how up close and personal this was getting. 

“You know my name, pretty girl. Kinda rude of you to walk out on me don't you think? You're lucky Noah was able to see where you were at based on your story.” He reveals, making you smile. 

So it was him but how? Some kind of alien car tech you didn't know about? You didn't care, he was here and you were ACTUALLY holding him somehow. 

“I'm sorry, looked like that meeting was important.” You explain, pressing against him more now, his grip tightening when you did, a hiss escaping his lips. 

“It was but when I noticed you’d left I panicked a little. Noah told me where to find you and I knew I couldn't just waltz in. I'm parked outback, this is just a holoform.” He explains, flashing that stupid smile. 

“So that's what this is, you look good 'Rag. Not the first time you've done this I'm assuming. You're far too good of a dancer.” You joke hearing gasp in faux hurt. 

“Wowww it's like that lil mama? You're breakin' my spark.” He chuckles, pressing into you, making a gasp escape your throat.

You felt it…holy shit it was right against you, the miniskirt not helping at ALL, in fact, any more friction and he'd be right against your panties. The grip on your hips is only making you hot and his voice so close to your ear isn't helping. He smirks against the skin of your neck and takes the risk of kissing there. Another gasp, only this time it was more or less a whine. 

“I'm not doing anything else until you tell me I got the green light. We both know this tension can only build for so long ‘til one of us breaks and I'm for damn sure about to fall apart if I can't taste you soon.” He admits, his voice trembling slightly when he speaks.

He was right though. The last 2 days had been filled with nothing but flirting, touching, and teasing and before you were so rudely interrupted in the garage earlier you were sure you were closer and closer to giving head. The music is still playing and most of your girls had given the two of you space to ‘dance’ a couple texting you to let you know where they were in case you needed them. It was definitely time to leave because any longer in this dark little corner of the club and you'd be trying to peel your clothes off. 

He can practically feel your begging to lose any sense of morals, a few drink making your brain only a little foggy. That’d ware off by time you made it back home if you played your cards right. Turning to face him you cant help but let your eyes drift to his lips. 

“You gonna let me ride?” You hum, lips pressed to his neck.

“these people are mean and rude :(” and said people who are mean and rude have likely been told to die and that their lives meant nothing ever since they were teens (like me hiiiii) just because they think that Ashley and Andy graves are a cute couple like sorry that we get pissy after years of relentless cyberbullying

also see: “they’re FORCING you to support incest!!!” Said forcing is people saying “I like this incestuous ship and hey btw it’s not cool to harass people who like it”

“or just personally feel uncomfortable about incest/whatever other weird shit.”

“they insist "antis" (which is used interchangeablely for "terminally online discourse blogs" and for "just thinks glorified rape/abuse/incest/child porn is Generally Bad" which is insane btw)”

like you are self-reporting on why we don’t like yall. This is more reinforcement on why you’re wrong. Because this idea that something depicted in a story can be “glorified abuse material”, this idea that we are “weird” and by default “wrong” and “bad” and “gross” is just you spouting more regressive religious ideals and forcing that onto us. We are weird and wrong and bad and gross, so we deserve to be hurt and attacked and ostracized. This is the same rhetoric people used about mlm shippers back in the day. Yaoi WAS the “weird shit.” Yaoi fans WERE the ones that were weird and wrong and bad and gross. And you’re just rehashing that idea to fit your view of being “progressive”. Like my god what is wrong with you

Posting as a response to a previous problem.

[fivewholeminutes]

I apologize if this comes across as rude but im really interested to know what sleep token twitter yall stumbled upon...? because im there as much as i am on here and ive literally seen people openly drop names in the main tag here, while on twitter you can have a private accound and.... ive only seen past projects discussed there? not even pictures or names (at least from the ones i follow) Unless what youre talking about is older st tweets from their account, then yes, some assholes with like 0 followers did drop Vessels name a couple times from what ive seen, but i have yet to see a name drop or something simmilar by someone who has more than a fart for a follower (meaning it doesnt show up on the tl if they post, and if its in someones replies the poster can hide it) I feel like the problem with it is the same as its on here, ocassional name or face drop that cant really be stopped, and its always from someone who, like i said, probably has 0 followers and made that throwaway to fuck with people. As unfortunate as it is. Again, sorry if it came across as rude, but like... no need to ward people off twitter for no reason lol, its pretty welcoming there as somene whos been in the fandom since 2022 🤷‍♀️

Hey anon, you're not rude at all, dw!

The aversion to sttw is a common thing here on tumblr, trust me. I'm glad to hear you managed to have a good twitter experience, cause damn. That is a gem. I'll tell you my personal experience with twitter. It's all from around spring-summer 2023, more or less.

I wasn't an active member of the st community there, i was only lurking, mostly in the search tab. Looking for words "sleep token" for the very first time made me reluctant to be a part of that community in the first few seconds of my search lmao. That venture into the search tab happened on a day the band was literally a few minutes from starting their set on one of the festivals. Some users were discussing the band being 30 min late, which is a completely normal thing, especially during festivals, when the scene is not free for a whole day for the band to set up their stuff. Those users were complaining that vessel most likely is getting drunk before the set, or is too drunk to get on the stage and this is totally why the band is late. Not accepting any other explanations. Many others were agreeing with them, joking about it and so on. 30 min is really nothing. The starting times for any concert of festival are almost never the actual times the sets begin.

Apart from that, my searches usually had a "true" metal fan revealing their names every 10 posts or straight up showing me cryptocurrency posts, just because they had the word "token" in it. That was tiring. Again, that two aspects are not really sttw community's fault, but they made my experience worse.

And hey, maybe if i started following a few people and kept my sttw experience only to them, it would be better. We'll never know now tho and frankly. I couldn't find anyone who would post there stuff i was interested in enough to follow.

The assholes with 0 followers were commenting on random sttw people's posts too, resulting in no post being safe from seeing their names. The boom after the band became popular bc of the summoning blowing up was luring those bastards in like moths to a lamp fr. Every time i tried to look for some cool st-related stuff i was stumbling upon a dozen of those people.

And then. I remember a drama where more "popular" sttw accounts started to have a war with some other account about god knows what. Don't remember the details, but like. The attacked account dared to comment on something the more "popular" accounts said and then that account and all their friends and minions started a bullying campaign against that one person. That was very distasteful for me. Especially that it wasn't something bad, they just didn't agree with the "popular" account about something.

So, sttw was always kind of a clique that would send hounds after you if you weren't thinking exactly like them. I think that drama ended up with the "popular" account being driven away from twitter, because people started standing up to them and a lot of nasty stuff they were saying about other people was revealed. Man, it was almost 2 years ago, i don't remember the details well. But in general, when fandoms have "popular" accounts/blogs that are worshipped almost as much as the actual thing the fandom is about, nothing good comes from that, ever.

Then there was a drama about one user who was claiming they're iv girlfriend. With some personal photos of iv being sent to that person's friends and stuff. Another red flag for me.

I left twitter shortly after, due to whatever the musk rat was doing with it, not necessarily because of the st community.

Now i only hear about yet another stupid take or drama from there from my mutuals on tumblr who for some reason still have more patience for twitter than me.

The one about "uwu don't draw vessel with his scars, because we don't wanna see them but also bc uwu we care about him" was the latest spectacular fuck up on sttw's part. I won't go into detail about this one, i covered it before and i don't want to go back to that one, cause the "art should be comforting" stuff and treating vessel like he isn't a grown ass man still makes my blood boil.

There was also another drama recently that got talked about here on tumblr, but i forgot what it was about, oops.

So. That'smore or less why twitter community is being frowned upon here, anon. There is just Always Some Stupid Drama there.

all yall got me thinking about Solas' relationship with the advisors. In sum, I don't think he engages with them a whole lot beyond necessity.

I don't see why he'd ever need to interact with Cullen, unless it's to impart some knowledge he has of a strategic area the Inquisition is planning to move into. He has a low opinion of Templars and any fear-mongering about mages. Cullen may no longer (nominally) be a Templar, but his distrust of mages remains. In low approval dialogue, Solas says the mages in Kirkwall were provoked into blowing up the Chantry, and I don't think he'd much care for former-Templar Cullen's "it takes two to tango" view of the mage-templar war.

He interacts with Josie the most since he needs her to find him an eclectic collection of obscure books. We know she likes his stories, and we know he loves talking, so there's casual conversation in passing between them. She also has a throwaway line I love where she praises Solas' cool head when dealing with some Orlesian who threw a drink or something at him for being an apostate. But he's careful when talking to her, since he knows what he says is likely to make it back to Lelianna.

He gives Lelianna a wide berth, which is no mean feat since they share a rotunda. She's a woman who deals in information, which is dangerous given all he's withholding. He's very careful in what he says in any conversation with her or within earshot of her/her agents. That said, he makes a careful study of her methods the entire year of the Inquisition. Thanks to that, he stays one step ahead of them post-Inquisition, and I'm convinced that his "spies in the Inquisition" are folks who were there from the start - both servants and some elven agents of Lelianna's.

To throw Morrigan here for good measure, as we see very clearly in the game, he's incredibly antagonistic towards her. Everything she says about elves pisses him off. He's dismissive of her, sarcastic, and downright rude. It's another version of his antagonism towards Vivienne - it stems from a place of similarity. They're both arrogant, stubborn, and convinced they're right. The only difference between him and Morrigan re: elves is that he is right, which just makes him more arrogant and dismissive of her.

I hate to be rude but do you know how to draw body fat or are you just gonna make tsumugi a stick with boobs over and over

THE "I HATE TO BE RUDE" AHAKGSQKG3KWHQJSUANSHDNGN PLEAAAAASEE ANON DONT LIE TO URSELF U KNOW DAMN WELL THIS WAS WRITTEN WITH CONDESCENDING INTENT LMAO but to answer ur question; yea i do! admittedly im not the best at it as i lack experience (i dont draw nudity very often so the opportunity barely arises) but i do have a general understanding of how its meant to look and yes i will continue drawing tsumugi as a stick with big boobs over and over! because this is the body type i headcanon her with and i think it suits her. i know boob sizes arent that deep, but a figure like hers carries a more "motherly" vibe to it (theres a reason we say "mommy milkers" n shit after all) plus it adds to her "hot klutz anime gf" energy. theres a Reason this portrayal is so common in the broad enstars community (including JP/KR/CN/etc artists too). when coming up with femstars portrayals my priority is not in giving you representation (that was never even there to begin with); it is to try and translate what made the character good in the original and keep that energy in this new version. now, sometimes adding a larger bit of diversity DOES help translate over the characters energy, and its a win-win for all! it just simply is not how i picture tsumugi in my head (but this does not mean i eat up those different portrayals of her any less!!! i think its super fun to see and she will always be absolutely gorgeous!!!!). if you disagree with my headcanon of her you quite literally do not need to consume my art. no one is forcing you to look at what i make. Pick up a pen and draw the tsumugi of your dreams yourself

and before anyone brings it up: yes!! skinny ppl can have big busts!!!! crazy, isnt it?? ud never expect it from the way yall discuss it! boob sizes are determined partially by fat, yes, but also genetics and if uve undergone pregnancy (the mommy milkers.....) so its INCREDIBLY weird to see people constantly talking about how those of us who draw tsumugi like this "dont know how women look" when yall dont even research the shit you spew. the reason "big boobs skinny waists" is something we've been fighting against in media portrayals is because there was a time where that was ALL THE PORTRAYAL OF WOMEN WE'D GET. THAT IS UNREALISTIC. women come in ALL shapes and sizes, and to dictate what women Can or Can't look like is fucking misogynistic and i cant believe you people dont realize this. i cant believe you dont realize the harm in what you say. alot of skinny people with big busts end up getting breast reduction surgery because 1. those mfs are heavy and 2. everyone sexualizes them!!!!!!! their bodies are viewed purely as something pornographic!!!!!! and no one wants that!!!!!!!! which shit like THIS (something being wrong with having big boobs) perpetuates. often times they hide their busts by wearing baggy clothes, which hides their figure and they end up looking a few sizes bigger just to avoid being viewed as an object. its sad!!!!! and now theres a new wave of people BODYSHAMING THEM??????? and for what??? because men think big boobs are hot???? why can women only exist in contrast to men???? why must women always think about how men will react to how they look or behave?????? why cant women of all body types just EXIST. why must there ALWAYS be someone we punch down at???? bodyshaming isnt suddenly cool just because youre shaming something men get off to

so, i have a question for you too! genuinely, what is wrong with drawing tsumugi like this? what is the harm? theres like 6 characters out of the 49 in enstars that i hc with big busts, so its not like im reducing women to this body type, and its queer people and women who are my target demographic. so whats wrong with it? im genuinely curious

i love posting on tiktok/witchtok but the people there,,,,, are so,,,,, mean and half the time its for no reason

like i think there were mean people, and then nice people got fed up with mean people and become mean in advance

like i posted a comment about the salt/eggshell/lemon hex thing, made sure to be respectful and leave room for opposing viewpoints, like i was just offering new ideas. i like thinking of uncommon ways to do things. it was at worst a neutral comment

and the creator didnt acknowledge half of what i said and was condescending at the other half, and their comments?? would have been addressed??? if they read what i said?????????????????

its like the second time this week someone was rude to me on witchtok when i was being neutral and offering new viewpoints and its so discouraging. i think people are used to a different viewpoint meaning someone is challenging you maliciously, which to be fair on tiktok is more likely whats happening. but goddamn.

so much of witchtok is focused with making fun of people regardless of if its an actual issue or not. like okay you think cultural appropriation is cringe. thats cool, ca is actually harmful and an intrusion into another cultures business. but why are you so preoccupied with hating on beginner witches, spell jars, people using ___ in a ___ spell, people who give gummy bears as offerings, etc. yall spend so much time pointing fingers at everyone who does something you dont like, when it was never your business. how do you expect to call this a "witchy community".

what community? you hate everyone here

i get why so many people leave. im getting to the point where im either tired enough to just stop filtering and post the stuff that'll get me "delulu" type troll comments, or tired enough to stop posting. until then all my unconventional hex ideas are going here. salt is next

Defective Existence: Chapter Three

The bike comes to a stop and you rush off of it creating space. This weekend started off badly and only continues to spiral. Your mind is now going into overdrive trying to comprehend. You wonder what you could have done to fix the situation.

Suguru walks ahead of you and you follow behind. He does not offer you any explanation. His face was emotionless. It was like time had backpedaled and you were seeing him as the unsure version of his past.

You grab his arm a bit roughly and he looks down at you in surprise. “I’m sorry. I am not sure what I did but…” You feel yourself panicking for no reason. He stares at you and you see his face soften a bit.

“It’s fine. It’s not you Y/N. I…” You watch him struggle to form words. You are not sure what to make of it. He was not loud or arrogant but he always carried himself with a cool confidence you secretly envied. At this moment it was almost as if he was scared. “I don’t know.”

This time you reach up and pat his head reassuringly. Your heart was aching for him yet you yourself did not understand why. “What can I do?” You ask, wanting to help. You would do anything for him.

“Did yall finally fuck?” A crude voice interrupts your conversation. You already know who it was without looking up. You clench your fist in annoyance.

“Sukuna shut the hell up.” Suguru says in a sharp tone. He looks over at the pink haired man covered in ink with malice.

Sukuna grins and clicks his teeth. “Shame on you Suguru. I mean if she is no longer off limits…” Sukuna winks in your direction and you sigh. You see Suguru’s jaw clench and your instant reaction is to flick his forehead.

“Hey…” he smiles down at you. You give him a look that he recognizes. “Yeah yeah I know he is baiting me.” You nod and then glare over at Sukuna. You knew better.

“Y/N you know that grimace only makes me want you more.” Sukuna laughs as if he had no troubles in the world. You walk over to him standing tall. His eyes widen as you lean into him.

“How are your brothers doing?” You ask softly. You knew they had disowned him. His brothers, Choso and Itadori were kind hearted. Choso was very protective so he had forbidden Sukuna from seeing him.

Sukuna’s mouth opens and closes as if unsure how to rebuttal. “Get back to work. You're close to being unemployed if you keep this up.” Suguru had hired him to help keep Sukuna in line. You knew he was truly trying to change. You felt a bit guilty for your words.

Sukuna smirks down at you. The shock wears off and his amusement is now present. “Little fox…” he says laughing lightly and then walks back to the garage. That was a bit of a low blow on your end but he really got under your skin.

“Let me check up on a few things then we can grab some food.” Suguru pushes you into the main entry and you go along with him.

You make yourself comfortable in his office. Occasionally scrolling on social media or playing a game. The atmosphere now less tense as you would occasionally glance out and see Suguru ordering others around.

After a while engrossed with what you were doing you were startled by the door opening. You try to control your face when you see the man entering. “Hey…” Sukuna looks down at the ground and you watch him.

“I just wanted to apologize. I couldn’t help myself.” Sukuna looks up and he seems sincere. You study his expression for a few more seconds, looking for any subtle changes.

“It’s fine. I was rude as well.” You finally speak up and he walks in, sitting across from you. “Is that all?” You ask, going back to looking at your screen.

“Pfft sometimes I wonder if you're a robot.” He laughs softly and you try not to respond. Sukuna loved pushing buttons and you hated feeding into anything he does. “I don’t know why he is so obsessed with you.”

You look up in shock. “What do you mean?” You say, trying to grasp the meaning behind his words. “Speak clearly.” You sit up straighter.

“Ooo that face is new….” Sukuna smirks and moves closer. You grimace not wanting him in your space. “Do you hate me?” He leans forward. His eyes pierced into your own.

You take in a breath to center yourself. “I don’t care enough about you to hate you, Sukuna.” You respond and he clutches his chest dramatically. “Why do you care?”

Sukuna watches you with those almost reddish brown eyes full of curiosity. “You are interesting.” He shrugs and leans in even closer. “Suguru is in love with you.” He whispers and your eyes widen at his words.

Your heart races but your mind quickly fights to shut it down. “Yes. We have been friends for a long time. I love and care for him as well.” Your voice trembles a bit and you curse yourself in your mind.

Sukuna takes hold of your chin tilting your face up. “No. You know what I mean.” His voice was almost sinister.

“You are teasing me.” You scoff and he laughs. You roll your eyes and push away his hand. “Did you have your fun?”

“Ooo Y/N…” Sukuna clicks his teeth and takes hold of your wrist. “This is nothing. I would love to show you a really good time.”

As if summoned by my anxiety the office door swings open again. “Am I interrupting?” Suguru’s voice was low and sharp. Sukuna backs away, throwing his hands up.

“Not at all. I was just apologizing for my awful behavior earlier.” Sukuna smirks and you nod in agreement. Those dark eyes stay on you and you try to hide yourself.

“Get out Sukuna.” Suguru orders holding the door open. Sukuna stands and saunters out but not without glancing back and smiling brightly at you.

“He is hopeless…” Suguru sighs, sitting behind his desk, running his hands over his face. “If he bothers you let me know.”

You nod but your mind is trying to still comprehend the conversation. What was the point of his words? Did he just want to get a reaction out of you?

“Suguru…” You say cautiously, unsure of yourself. He looks up from his paperwork with a raised brow. He recognized the tone as worry. You did not want him to stress over your silly thoughts. “Nevermind. It’s silly.” You felt like a coward.

“Are you sure?” He replies patiently, making sure to maintain eye contact. This man… you never dared wishing he was yours. Never even imagined it. Not because he wasn’t desirable to you. He was beautiful in all aspects of the word. You simply felt he always deserved better than.

“Yup! Totally!” You say a bit too enthusiastically. He frowns at you but continues working. You quickly pull out your phone to distract yourself. The text that greeted you made you groan out loud.

“That’s not good…” Suguru laughed once again, interrupted by you. “Based on that tone I am going to assume family.” You look over with a frown and nod.

“They want to have dinner. Satoru sent an apology. Also other old families will be in attendance.” This was a nightmare. As if the weirdness from this weekend could not get any worse.

“Tonight?” Suguru asked and you thought you may have seen annoyance. You would give anything to be able to ignore the text.

“Tomorrow….” You take in a long breath. “I need to go out and find something to wear. Those assholes are obsessed with appearances. Which explains how shitty they are.” You grumble asking Satoru what brands you needed to look for to keep up.

“I wish we could run away together.” Suguru says and you drop your phone and turn. His dark eyes look startled and he then chuckles. “Kidding…” he does an awkward finger gun and winks. Sukuna’s conversation runs back into the forefront of your mind.

Even if you both loved each other it was destined to fail. You were a bargaining chip not a human to your family. With their resources running would be irrelevant and dangerous. You felt a sad tinge in your heart. You needed to protect him. No matter what.

“I wish that were possible…” you say without realizing it. You mentally slap your forehead. There was no need to provide any kind of hope. Even if it was to help a friend. You still could not fathom a man like Suguru Geto loving you as a lover.

That silence again… the tense kind that makes it hard to move. This has been a night of reckoning. It was a wake up call to the fantasy you had been living in with him. There were no happy endings. Honestly you never expected one. You were the type to skip the end of books right after the climax was settled. Set it down and move on to the next.

“Food let's get you some food!” Suguru breaks the suffocating quiet. You look up into those dark eyes with a small nod.

“The greasier the better! Tomorrow I know it will be small portions and overpriced…” You grumble causing Suguru to chuckle.

“Anything you want Y/N.” He says confidently and your heart suddenly races. An odd feeling that you had not felt since you were a teen. In a way it felt dangerous. You bite your lower lip nervously as you see him putting things away.

Suguru must have misunderstood your expression because he walks over and pats your head affectionately. “Chin up. You always find a way to survive them.” Lifting your chin you aren’t able to meet his gaze.

“It feels different this time…” You mutter as clench your fists. You look to the ground and his hold tightens a bit to get your attention.

“Look at me.” Suguru’s voice lowers and you let out a breath following his instruction. His brows are furrowed with worry. “You know I’m here no matter what. Turn to me ok? Don’t always try to do things on your own.”

You wanted to shout at him. He did not understand how much you saved face to protect him. Yet here he is trying to act like your hero. Instead you just nod and smile. “Food?” You manage to say and he smirks. His hand falls and a part of you wants to stay closer for just a bit longer.

As you make your way out Sukuna walks past. You glare which only makes him smile. “I almost feel sorry for you…” He hisses as Suguru walks ahead so not for him to hear.

“I guess we are both pathetic losers.” You spit back with venom and he laughs boldly. Suguru turns an intimidating glint in his eyes towards Sukuna. Sukuna throws up his hand but the amusement never leaves his features.

“A pair of star crossed lovers take their life…” Sukuna quotes and you pick up a cup of pens and throw them at him. “Little fox… so scary.” You still hear him chuckling as you and Suguru leave.

I apologize in advance for how long this ask is going to be but your post about going to zumiez reminded me of the one time I heard about snc in public (as someone who doesn’t leave the house much lol). About 4 years ago right after snc made their switch to haunted content I was in high school and I was the socially anxious new kid so I was trying to keep my head low and let people come to me. In my one elective class (that I got involuntarily stuck with that no one liked bc the teacher sucked) we had a lot of time to talk and there were three students at my table (two girls and a guy). The one girl in particular was always trying to make fun of me and the other girl would laugh along but I’ve always had a talent of acting like I don’t care in the moment and eventually she finally stopped making fun of me because I wasn’t fun to insult anymore. Anyway one day the meaner of the two girls was out sick and the other girl was being nice (as she normally was when the other girl wasn’t around) and her and the guy (who she had a crush on) were watching Youtube since they had finished their work early. Eventually the girl brought Sam and Colby up and talked about how she loved their videos and I froze in the moment because I was so surprised she watched them too and the guy said that he tried to get into them but it’s annoying how they fake their videos. And as rude as it might sound the way her face visibly fell made it hard for me to not laugh. She very quickly changed the subject after that and never brought up snc again. Also not too long after that I saw Jake Webber merch in public and I was very surprised because in my head he was a much smaller content creator than sam and colby and therefore I should have seen snc merch before Jake’s merch lol.

haha you're totally fine for the long ask. i don't mind.

first off, sorry that person was mean to you in hs. honestly, hearing back things like that, or thinking back on who was mean to me in hs, always make me laugh bc like….. yall really did that shit and thought you were cool.

anyway lol

that's the thing - i'm so used to solitary snc talk (ie me and someone online) that in person i get so uncomfortable at the mere mention of them. idk why, but i guess it's bc it's hard to indicate is this someone into them like i am or are they just someone that vaguely knows who they are which are two very different sides of the snc fandom spectrum.

also i think bc i've never met someone that knows who snc are, minus two very small instances, it's always weird to physically see someone recognize them to me (like pointing out me wearing merch) bc i'm like… wait, you guys are real? i'm not just talking to myself online??? lmao

side note idk why but this story made me remember another time: i work in retail and in like 2019/20, somewhere in there, i saw a little girl wearing colby's merch. she was only like 10-12 max, so i didn't want to be weird and say anything, but i remember being like "omg i'm not the only one".

[daphnebowen]

hsmtmts season four episode five

WHY ARE ALL OF THEM IGNORING RICHARD even though it’s LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE still that’s really rude what happened to being nice to people??? If people are genuinely like that in college I am scared

“Richard Bowen.”

”Elton John.” I LOVE THESE TWO!!!!

why does the principal care omg like stay out of her business not everyone can make every rehearsal what do you expect??

kourtneys hero is her mom! That’s the most wholesome and sweetest thing ever 🥰

if kourtneys college trip was a casual visit how come miss girl is wearing four inch heels a miniskirt and a turtleneck 🥸 not that I’m complaining, she looks amazing, but I’m just saying my feet would be KILLIN ME

”wait wait wait… YOURE working??”

ok can we talk about ej for a min?? Man has four jobs, full class schedule, is on the PING PONG TEAM (is that a thing?), is an acapella group called the blindorphins (blind orphans? Help?), has no parental support (srsly, where is his mama?) has a beard much more prominent than the one in season two, is the dork of his friend group (how????), is talking to Val (I totally ship, ngl, so if it’s just a friend thing ima hurt someone) and wears Birkenstocks. He’s a hippie. Someone help my matty poo. But good for him! Proud of ya eej!

”you do look good.” “You look… terrible.”

okay, plot hole, ej says he’s been dabbling in playing the guitar yet in season three he’s literally playing the guitar for the song “ballad of Susan fine.” So is he dabbling in other types of guitars or is a plot hole??? Because if it’s a plot hole it’s the first one I’ve noticed. and now it’s bugging me. And I can’t unsee it.

”I do not break my promises” NO YOU DONT

”for my leading lady thirty seconds.” Welp

”g force” I cant

”no is a complete sentence” thanks Quinn that’s my senior quote

YES GINA

”I’m hearing awards buzz” the only line from Mack I haven’t absolutely hated

“ all songs might be terrible, Elton.”

they’re such brothers it hurts knowing that this is like their last season together :( I wish we’d gotten more of their friendship “ooh, a capo? Fancy.” Ricky said with a proud smile 🤩 his big bro is all grown up (which is backwards, but you know what I mean)

I absolutely love this song! It’s everything we’ve ever needed and more

ricky looks so intently focused on ej he’s into it

AWWW THEYRE DUETING TOGETHER

that song really hit Ricky home huh. That’s just what he needed. I can totally see why people ship Ricky and ej because their chemistry and like, playfulness was really cute but I still see it as more of a bromance and brother relationship.

man Siri is really working miss Jenn dang

The fact that Siri is still going and recording all while miss Jenn and Carlos are talking has me bawling what if it sent the text to the theater group lmao

no Mack. You and Gina are not “best friends.” Yall are barely friends imo. Ashlyn is Gina’s best friend. Kourtney is Gina’s best friend. Ricky is Gina’s best friend (plus a lil smth else 😏😉)

the fact that she’s looking at a picture of Ricky to help her nail the chemistry 😚 true love right there

EW NASTY MACK STOP KISSING GINA Gina looks like she does not wanna be there but Mack is all in and I wanna slap him

omg big red. What happened…. Cairo… changed him?

Aw his grandma is 100! That’s so sweet

stopppp I still can’t believe it was BIG FREAKING RED

”fantastic. My girlfriend is kissing her childhood crush”

THE CAPTION HAS ME DEAD

ejs little noises “mmm.. mmmm… mmMMMMmm.” He totally disapproves huh

i love how Ricky is ranting to ej even though Gina and ej dated and ej is pretty cool with it, he’s so supportive in this season

man Ricky cannot sit still boy is constantly moving

“everyone’s only allowed to be okay, for like, ten seconds” yup pretty much sucks but true

”todd” says it like it’s the worst word ever

im tired of you losing people too Ricky - don’t worry I’m HERE FOR YOU :((

I love how big red was just like SURPRISE!! even tho Carlos is literally dying of heartbreak and he’s just like “eh it’s cool, whatever” COME ON BIG RED YOURE BETTER THAN THAT

i can’t freaking believe that big reds coming out moment was with Sebastian

I love how Ashlyn doesn’t even care herself she’s just worried about Carlos mostly TELL HIM ASH TELL HIM

bug red is so supportive 😍 he’s a number one madlyn fan I swear

honestly redlyn was one of the most non toxic couples in the show, they constantly supported each other and were there for each other, but they knew that there just wasn’t something final about them together, yes they clicked and they clicked well and so they’re better off as friends now that both of their storylines have explored other sides of their feelings and broadened “their dating pools” as Ashlyn said. So I’m glad that they’re staying friends. And were able to come to a mutual breakup. “Or maybe growing towards this” 🥹

”but what if I got it wrong?” GIRL SHE JUST TRIED TO KISS YOU ON HALLOWEEN!!! SHE WAS THE ONE TO INITIATE IT!!!

”we are 24 cups?!” The instant panic is so real

Carlos: “do you know what it’s like to be gay?” Miss Jenn: *shakes her head* 😭😭😭😭

”hiding is never the answer” yess!! This all the way

baby steps Carlos you got this hun

kourtney really is glowing , she’s so happy at Lewis

harpers shoes are super cute!

”how heavy can a steadicam be?” The steadicam guy: really heavy 😒

“you missed every one of my opening nights!” “Hollywood is different” GIRL I hate you if it weren’t for those opening nights Gina probably wouldn’t be in hollywood hate to admit it but I did

I hate Gina’s mom so much why does she feel the need to push Gina towards Mack and invite him over for dinner and make her miss rehearsals when clearly she wants to go rehearse like what? Gina doesn’t even like Mack that way!

ginas mother… I thought you said “no boys.” And here she is

the last time Carlos is gonna smile at big red “spill the international tea”

YOU KISSED MY BOYFRIEND?!?!?

”im very fond of you “ AWWW sad considering the circumstances but it’s still a sweet thing to say..

oh- mad and mad are back on again

i love how ej aaid “no” when the thunder cracked 💀

TIME FOR SOME BIG BRO EJ TOUGH LOVE AHHHH ALL FOR IT 💗

see the fact that Ricky didn’t even know about ejs dad problems and everything going on with him and Gina and still waited respectfully until Gina was ready shows his character growth. In season one he was actively interfering with nini and ejs relationship but in season three he saw Gina was happy and let her have her happiness. This is what I love about him ❤️

”you will never meet another family like the Wildcats” HITS LIKE HOME CUZ ITS OVER

”cause I miss it every single day” literally me rewatching this knowing I will never be able to go back and rewatch seasons 1 and 2 ever again 😢

Matt Cornett king of voice cracks

”she would be be with you if she didn’t see the guy you could be” YES EJ PREACH MY MAN

”if you hurt her… I will never forgive you.” The way Ricky looks up in alarm ‼️

Ej is the freaking best at pep talks man all that time with Val really taught him a lot, he’s being tough on Ricky and honest with him but he’s also being caring and gentle and I love that for the two of them, we need more bromances like this!

YES RICKY GO SPEAK YOUR MIND TO GINA PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH

YESSS A HUG

”why didn’t we hang out more in high school?” “Well maybe because you were always stealing my girlfriends” HAHAHA

awww ej is giving him his guitar!!! (He’s got good instincts)

ugh mark and spark are literally on the table

part 2 tk!

[thenixkat]

what do you mean Power Girl being pregnant was due to her grandpa magically raping her and she's just cool with that and the baby just fucks off not to be seen again after the story line ends??

this is why I dont trust comic book writers to not be creeps Maxwell Lord and his need to be in charge of the most powerful group of people in the world

Maxwell Lord is just a pathetic little man. And i can easily see him turning to 'well if I can't be in charge you all have to die' cause like, he's already attempted murder for less

there's so many implications with Echidna, sheltering Power Girl and her baby in her realm. Also Echidna, mother of monsters, is a thing in the DC universe and apparently she's just chilling in her own realm

shadow dude has a point that untested alien tech might not be the best mode of transportation in an emergency Fire, what if the shit just fucking explodes? yall are just guessing on how to pilot shit

the clothes are iff but Scarabus's fleshy eye nodes are neat looking. It's also very rude

also this Arion guy is the same ancient Atlantean king that supposedly was driven mad by Khaji Da and was a giant centipede serpent creature in the Blue Beetle 2016 solo

ok so Power Girl is somewhat upset about her grandpa magically raping her to get a great grandkid to use for a prophesy

meanwhile Maxwell Lord has a tumor in his brain. That's growing fast and causing him a lot of pain. I'm going to assume that using his powers, which visibly cause his brain damage, lead to the tumor

they managed to send the demon out of reality for teh time being well that's certainly a coloring error i hope

some being comes to offer Maxwell Lord a way to cure his cancer and keep his mind. For a price

offscreen Wonder Woman got challenged for her title by another Amazon and lost

so she's just Diana now Power Girl is also concerned about how quickly her baby is growing

yeah actually what are you gonna do with all the endlings the Overmaster locked up on its ship?

damn Fire rebond much? She decides to go on a date with a new nice coworker and proposes mid date. SHe's turned down.

huh, well rest in piss maxwell lord

[bedeion-legion]

oh yall already KNOW that the original sun/moon games are far superior in my mind

usum completely undermined the depth behind lillie and ESPECIALLY gladion's whole reason for being the way that they are. im gonna be focusing on gladion since thats my blorbo, i know him the best outta the two.

gladion often gets mistaken for being edgy and not much else. surface level? sure, hes dramatic and a bit rude. crucially, though, is that he really isnt if you take a look at him with a closer eye.

the whole reason why he has so much apparent bite for no apparent reason is because *hes literally on the run from his abusive parent*. hes a teenager who deeply cares about pokemon. when he found out about silvally, he couldnt let it continue suffering in the dark. he HAD to help it. and for that he had to run from the only home he had. he didnt even get to say goodbye to his little sister. hell i doubt he had any time to grab much in the form of pocket money or necessities.

his very strong love and compassion for the world around him is what led him to take such a colossal risk at an age where he couldnt have POSSIBLY seen the actions of his consequences, and hes clearly hurt by it. he built up walls around him in the form of a tough persona as a means of survival. plus, considering everything he had to go through, he wouldnt exactly be in a great place mentally. honestly, hes probably holding back a lot of his bite since, contrary to his initial appearance, he doesnt like people get hurt by what he says and does for not even doing anything themselves. hes just... scared. hes on the run for doing something completely selfless and justified, and he has pretty much nothing except team skull when he run into him.

AND YET, DESPITE ALL THAT, HE STILL GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO TREAT HIS POKEMON THE BEST HE POSSIBLY CAN. DESPITE BUILDING THAT EMOTIONAL DIVIDE WITHIN HIMSELF, HE COULD NEVER STOP CARING HEAVILY FOR THINGS.

honestly him being snippy at the mc and haus probably a testament to him yknow being a teenager living alone having to sustain not only himself, but his pokemon as well. hes jaded to life at this point and already has to deal with team skulls antics on the daily. guys got more pressing things to worry about than a couple of kids who are annoyed at team skull grunts causing trouble.

AND ALL THAT. ALL THAT GETS FUCKING TOSSED ASIDE IN USUM. because now lusamine is chill and cool and normal actually hahaha!!

all of the nuance of gladions character that i just described is gone. his entire reason for being on the run? not really all that prevalent anymore, in USUM he pretty much bounces for teenager reasons. he BECOMES the more shallow caricature of edge that people tend to see him as. its not like his SM counterpart isnt entirely void of edge, like obviously the guys still a teenager who dresses Like That. He just now almost entirely lacks the background and depth his character had in the original games. he honestly becomes a parody of himself, and as someone who clearly holds gladion and his characterization close in my heart, its disappointing beyond belief.

hell, this doesnt even begin to touch into how USUM screws up a lot of the writing for lillie's trauma and later arc. you can criticize SM for a LOT of different reasons, but the aether foundation and especially the aether family are very well-written (less-so mohn, but to be fair hes pretty disconnected to the story once he gets eeby-deeby'd through the ultra-beast realm). the reason why i care about these damn kids so much is the fact that their trauma and how it shapes and shows in them is really well done. it makes me CARE for these characters, yknow?

so.. yeah. as cool as i think zeraoura is as a pokemon, both design-wise and concept-wise, it doesnt save USUM from being really disheartening to me as someone whos a very big fan of the original aether foundation plotline (as well as an enjoyer of the anime, as its kind of its own thing that isnt really either storylines? it has silly goofy lusamine, but still keeps elements of trauma and the darker themes of SM, largely through the use of Faba as a character, which i use a lot more in my own AU for the gen).

i wish we had just gotten the extra content within USUM without messing up the storyline so much (hell, i wouldve loved a bigger touch on the trial captains. instead of goofing up the aether foundation storyline which was already really good, they couldve touched on those characters who ACTUALLY needed more characterization within the games, like they did with the anime).

ok legion its 7am and i havent slept and im expected to be up at a decent time so im logging off now, enjoy my insane ramblings. perhaps one day i shall return to feed whatever scraps are left of this little niche of a niche pocket of the fandom ive found myself in

hello katsuki has a slight crush on your bratty ass and so he's the first to notice how into you sero is and when you attempt denying "any chance sero is interested" katsuki rolls his eyes and offers like, really specific examples lol

he'll be like "yeah sure that's why he looks at yah after every stupid joke he makes to denki to see if it made you laugh🙄🙄"

and you're like... does he... do that?😳🙈

the man basically accidentally gets yall together by how many things he points out hahaha

Hello Gracie, my darling dear, what a lovely little gift you have left me! I hope you don't mind if I expand a little, do you?

Katsuki didn't even mean for this crush to start; especially not after the horrible first introduction, he had with you. Where you so rudely slammed the door in his face when he stopped by looking for Kirishima; unimpressed by him and his presence interrupting your day.

And it wasn't like he could grumble about it and move on, oh no of course not. It wasn't like your roommate was dating his best friend or anything, not like he now had to be dragged along to hang out with them every now and then, and not like your roommate would bring you to fill out the pairs.

He was stuck with you. And likewise, you were stuck with him.

And he really truly didn't know what your problem was with him, why you would scrunch your nose up at him, furrow your brows, whenever he moved to be next to you; or whenever the suggestion would arise to go off into pairs separately to enjoy the whatever event you both were dragged to. Or why you had this horrible habit of sassing him whenever would try and talk to you - that every time he spoke highly of himself, or tried to compliment you, you would always snap back with a retort - hating that sometimes they were clever or spot on.

You were an absolute total brat, and Katsuki hated that he liked it so much. Hated that he found himself doing small things to make your life easier, like grabbing you a warm drink before meeting up with you and your roommate. Or bringing an extra jacket or mittens whenever there was an activity outside and you were ill-prepared for the cold. Or that he would tell Kirishima, and the rest of his friends, to "quiet the fuck down" whenever they got together for drinks and games at Kirishima's place because he knew the noise would penetrate through the walls and keep you from sleeping soundly.

And god did he hate the way you acted around Sero.

How that same calm, cool. collected and bratty girl you were around him would melt into a flustered puddle around Sero. The first time he witnessed it Katsuki swore he got whiplash. What was he doing differently? What did Sero have that he didn't? He didn't know, but he certainly didn't like it at all.

How his eyes would glare in Sero's direction whenever he heard you giggling up at him. Scoffing whenever you deliberately make your way over to Sero at every get-together, despite the fact he was the reason you were there in the first place. And certainly would clench his fists whenever he saw Sero place his hands on your waist or back when an action like that would normally lead you to a slap of his hands off.

He was whipped, utterly and totally by you and he hated you couldn't see it. Hated that you couldn't even see that Sero was interested too; that you were so totally blind when someone was interested in you, what their intentions were. Katsuki knew you were smart, but this was starting to question that notion.

Especially when you dragged him off to a secluded corner at the usual bar you all hung out in and asked "any chance Sero is interested"

He felt a lot of emotions at that moment. Annoyance at your obliviousness, confusion as to why you would even think to ask such a dumb question, and the sinking feeling in his heart of hope being dashed away.

Katsuki grew to like you, a lot. But at that moment he knew for certain that it was all one-sided - that any feelings you may have towards him were platonic at best. That those sweet eyes of yours, that were blinking up at him, would never hold the same kind of want and desire his eyes held when he looked down at you.

But he couldn't let you know that. Not like it was your fault this was happening anyway. So he scoffed, rolling his eyes as he took a swig of his drink; doing his best to keep any sort of emotion from leaking into his expression.

"Yeah sure that's why he looks at yah after every stupid joke he makes to Denki to see if it made you laugh."

Katsuki knew he was putting his foot in his mouth, ruining any and all chances he could possibly have to call you his, as he rambled off the list of small things his friend was doing to gain your attention; to gage whether or not you specifically were giving him the time of day.

But he wanted you happy, and if that meant you were with Sero and not him; so be it. If it meant he had to stand at an arm's distance and be your friend, so be it.

Katsuki loved you after all, and that is the sacrifice one does for love.

I know you said accidentally, but I read that as angst.
