Milgram idol au (pt.6)
005 Shidou:
Omg it's Shidou!! Didn't know people actually debuted when they were close to 30 but then again Milgram hired a fcking 12 year old so who am I to judge
Has that Korean ML type of styling. Like long overcoats, lots of neutral and darker colors + white, and whatever those actors like to wear while they're sipping coffee looking all hot and shit. Surprisingly marketed as a dad figure more than Kazui… not sure why either.
I saw somebody on Tumblr say this before and I could not agree more that he seems to be the type that has the dry skin + oily hair combo. Like predebut this man was spending 30 hours in the hospital everyday, his ass would not have time to shower or moisturize. Because of this his makeup team always have to leave him with very specific instructions on how to handle his skincare routine + products. I am entirely convinced that he would accidentally leave his serums and creams in the sun.
His fanbase has daddy issues man. Like they flock to him so they can have at least some form of fatherly affection (looks at Shidou fans)
Uses emojis on social media unironically.
I feel like with his fans he'll either care too much or too little about them. Either he gets super attached to them and tries to cheer them up the best he can, or just sees them as like a transactional relationship. Like yeah, he cares about them only because they're his fans. He doesn't really care for them as actual people.
Probably does those "doctor reacts" TikToks. He's usually a pretty calm and level-headed guy, but gods you should see the way this man absolutely rips those creators to shred. He has no tolerance or patience for those that spread medical rumours.
I forgot to mention this before but yeah he's the group leader of the entire wave. I'm not familiar with Kpop in general so forgive me if the leader is supposed to be like the most popular person or whatever, but he's a really responsible person who would actually fulfil their role no matter what they think of other people. Also pacifist so :D
Is his sense of humor outdated to the point where he can't understand his group member's jokes and just has to sit there with a smile on their face looking confused? Yes. But it's endearing.
Speaking of endearing I think many fans would like the way he's so serious while doing an unintentionally OOC thing. I don't think he lacks general logic in any way, it's just he's not familiar with the memes and trends today so sometimes he unintentionally does it TvT
Also has this air of quiet resignation whenever play fights break out within the group. Like they'll be shooting insult after insult on TV and he'll just sit next to them smiling in the overworked tired dad kinda way.
I could not for the life of me come up with a signature pose. I apologize.
Actually tbh he fits being an influencer more?? Should I just switch it to famous people,,, oh well too late to switch it now we're going full idol

Jungkook Energy Reading
Jungkook is at a major crossroad of his life. Here, he has a choice to make between 2 roads that will potentially lead him to 2 completely different lives. The choices are to either stay the course that he has been following until now, or to level up to a new, challenging but highly rewarding stage. This is a very fun and interesting topic to discuss so I will take my time with this.
To give you a context, Jungkook is a very highly intuitive person since, like, forever. Ever wondered why (or how) out of... (was it 7?)... so many company offers he chose to be with a small company for a reason that might seem like a whim? Ever wondered why his social media posts gain so much traction? Why he trends so often? If you’ve felt like Jungkook is one of those people who just “gets it” that’s because of his natural intuitive abilities. At the cost of being hated on, I’ll say this: he’s not the best singer in the world. Yet, he makes magic with his voice every time. He is an average dancer. Yet, he commands the stage and holds attention like nobody’s business. That’s because Jungkook has always worked with energy without knowing that he did. That’s why a lot of his achievements seem almost effortless. Yes, he works really hard for everything, but so do a lot of other people. Jungkook has this innate quality of (almost) always making the right choices, being at the right place at the right time that, combined with his ability to work hard, creates these massive outcomes. He’s a super powerful clairsentient and although I’m not sure if he consciously he uses his gifts, subconsciously it has often rewarded him, and so far he hasn’t had to really think about it too much, because it’s a naturally-occurring habit for him. But now he has reached a threshold where he has to contemplate things. Needless to say, it’s outside his comfort zone and is making him VERY stressed. He’s at a juncture where he feels this strong pull towards a direction but is afraid to go there because it’s out of his comfort zone and as is the case with that, he is plagued with doubts, confusion, opposing logics, etc— all of which is keeping him stuck and stagnant like a deer caught in headlights.
What is the problem with staying in his comfort zone, you might ask, I mean it has worked for him so far. Generally speaking, there’s no problem. There is never a problem in this world nor is there any good or bad. It all depends on how we see things. That’s why one person’s curse turns out to be another’s blessing, and one’s trash another’s treasure. The problem here is that, Jungkook has done the unthinkable— he has started to have dreams and desires (lol sorry not sorry I like to be dramatic). For a while (maybe a year or so?) Jungkook has been in this place (mentally and emotionally) where he has been rethinking and reinventing his goals, plans etc for his future. He has lived quite a while with a certain idea of how his life is going to go and worked with that vision. But it was getting tiring and draining in a way he didn’t quite understand why, followed by something impactful that happened in his life— has made him question everything. He has been proverbially studying himself in the mirror and rediscovering his true self. This is literally changing everything about his life. His wants are changing, the things that make him happy (or sad) are changing, and he has been think A LOT about how he wants his life to look like from here on. He’s trying to manifest a life that he thinks will not just give him the usual, practical material comforts of life, but also make him happy and fulfilled from a soul-deep space. And as is the case with manifestations, the first thing you gotta do is make sure your mindset is aligned with what you’re desiring. This is where Jungkook is at right now. He knows what he wants, he is willing to put in the work that it takes, and has also been making plans and taking action... but wait a second. Just when he thought that it is time for him to reap the rewards of his actions, things seem to be going south for him. He is facing problems and obstacles in nearly all areas of his life, and this has him utterly confused because he thinks he has done everything right and yet, why is he not seeing results materialize yet? He’s growing tired of this journey and it’s even more confusing because on the one hand, he still feels like he has hope and that there’s a high possibility that things will go his way, yet on the other hand, what IS happening in reality is quite the opposite. He feels like he’s being pulled in 2 opposite directions and both have equally strong reasons to go towards. This is what is known as “the crossroads”.
The reason he is not seeing results is like I said, manifestations are ALL about the mindset. Point blank period. If you hold a pendulum suspending by the string, and just THINK about moving it without moving your hand at all, it starts moving. This is how pendulum readings work. This is a small yet telling exercise to show how our mindset literally controls all our actions. So without the right mindset, actions mean nothing because those actions are coming from a mindset that is not aligned with what you want to manifest. This is what is happening with Jungkook. He is making his plans and taking action, like he has been trying to have a healthy routine, eat clean, exercise, practice his skills, etc but he is doing all of this from an outdated mindset. It’s like building a house of cards over a slanted surface. No matter how carefully you stack the cards, they come crashing down because the foundation is not right. His plans are great, his efforts are sincere, but are based on a very limited mindset. He thinks, well I’ll do this and this and then I’ll do that and that and then... but something goes wrong, some plans backfire, some work related problems come up, financial setbacks happen, and he is back to square one again. Then he feels unmotivated and goes into depressive episodes and eventually picks himself up and tries again but the whole thing happens again. He is now tired and feels he has no fights left and also feels it’s all useless because the Universe seems to be working against him. But that’s not the case. The Universe is simply telling him that no matter how hard he tries (because that’s kinda Jungkook’s mindset right now: if it didn’t work, try harder and harder next time), nothing will come to fruition if the mindset at the base of it all changes. And the same cycle will continue.
This crossroad is an opportunity for him to level up, not at the action point, but at the mindset point. He has to switch from the “work hard, struggle, chase” mindset to the “attract effortlessly” mindset. Now, this is not something new for Jungkook. Like I said, he is a natural intuitive and has actually attracted most of the things in his life quite effortlessly if you consider the fact that he has achieved more at 23 than most people have in their entire lives. The “struggle” is showing up because it is a crossroad. So no matter how competent, accomplished, or karmically good or bad you consider yourself to be, everyone struggles at some point or the other, when it is time to level up. I mentioned earlier that he is a Clairsentient and his comfort zone is to live his life according to his feelings without giving much thought to them and for a very long time, it’s worked out just fine. But now it is time for him to step into the role of a Claircognizant and to give a voice to his feelings. The Universe has been pushing this role at him for a while now, which has manifested in his life into a lot of overthinking, which is the shadow side of claircognizance. It entails a very active mind so at the beginning stages of honing this skill, you tend to struggle with overthinking and your mind sort of being all over the place. Think of your mind as an out-of-control river which floods everything around, but when you train your mind, and make it follow a course, it becomes life-saving. Because in the raw form, any spiritual gift comes with a lot of sharp ends, Jungkook is resisting this gift. He is stressed from all the overthinking and feels lost and out of control. So he tends to go back to his comfort zone and work from his old mindset and keeps facing obstacles. Now you might think, wow, being a Clairsentient is no joke either, so why bother about being a Claircognizant? Like leave the boy alone jeez. But like I always say, the Universe gives us all free will. There is no forcing him. He has made this choice when he started asking for this new, improved, happier life. This is something he is trying to manifest and to do that, he needs to have the right resources. At this point in his life, even being a Clairsentient (which is still awesome) is a limiting existence for him. Jungkook is an old soul. It might be interesting for you to know that he is the oldest soul in all of BTS and he is an older soul than his parents and brother as well! However, his old soul combined with a young mind and the fact that he is the youngest person in both his family and his BTS family, wreaks havoc within him. He often finds himself in situations where he feels deeply and profoundly but cannot express the depth of his feelings externally. This manifests as a throat chakra blockage even though he has a very strong and developed throat chakra (the reason why he is so expressive when he sings and is very facially expressive when dancing and just generally very expressive when he creates social media content from a fun, good mood space). Like I said, it’s a limit. So far it wasn’t as necessary to address this. But as he ages and his life progresses, he misses this skill set. He thinks it’s about his vocabulary, but it really is just about putting a voice to his inner feelings. He could feel it strongly inside when something is right or wrong, but he can rarely tell you why. He’s a good judge but he’s a terrible lawyer lol. And it’s not even telling or convincing others, it’s about telling yourself— KNOWING what you feel and why. Now, in this whole period of dilemma, he is starting to doubt his old gifts as well. He is starting to doubt his feelings and the ability to tell the right from wrong through his feelings— because that’s what energetic stagnation feels like; it feels like degeneration of everything that is, unless you decide to build something new upon the decaying old.
This jump from Clairsentience to Claircognizance can also be likened to the jump from the 3rd eye chakra to the Crown Chakra. And I don’t mean chakras in the sense that exist and govern various activities in our bodies. I mean it in the sense of the journey of consciousness of the various aspects of our existence, from the Root to the Crown. A renowned spiritual teacher had once said that the journey from the Root to the 3rd Eye Chakra has paths and procedures, but the journey from the 3rd Eye to the Crown Chakra has no path, no process, no formula. It is based on faith and faith alone. It’s a blind jump off the cliff, “knowing” that you are safe. Up until the 3rd Eye, you might be connected, but you are still operating within limits, all of which are of course self-imposed. Jungkook is at this point where he is asked by the Universe to step into his limitlessness. I have discussed in his career reading that he is meant to do some really huge things in his lifetime, which is crazy considering he already has done pretty epic things. The phrase “chosen one” always comes to mind when I talk about Jungkook, but I’d like to clarify this phrase first. We generally tend to see this term as something that sets one apart from others, as if they are special and privileged. But know that the Divine never differentiates. Each and every human has been created exactly the same in terms of capabilities. So it all comes down to free will and personal choice of which path each of us chooses. The thing to know about Jungkook is that he is one of the most sincere people on earth— actually as far as I’ve observed THE most sincere. And before Armys comes for me, yes, all of BTS are sincere. But spiritually speaking, Jungkook is still more sincere not just compared to the rest of the members but the general collective as well. He is, at his core, a very purpose-driven person. He is the least matrix-controlled, for those who know these concepts. He can’t do things just for the sake of it. It’s important for him to have meaning and purpose behind everything he does. Sadly though, he has spent the past few years doing exactly the opposite. He has been stuck in a cycle of activities that don’t bring joy to his soul and this has been sucking the life force out of him and he has been feeling more and more drained and has developed escapist tendencies. But it’s not that he has been externally forced to do these things, at least not always. It’s more so a result of lack of consciousness on his part. He didn’t know he was doing these things. He did what he did believing that he was doing the right thing— earning money, paying bills, securing a materially comfortable life— you know, all of the matrix stuff. But like I said, he does not easily fit into the matrix. While a lot of people spend their entire lifetimes plugged into the matrix, Jungkook is the type to sense discomfort very quickly and want to escape. The reason being, as I said earlier, he is an old soul and has lived many lifetimes developing awareness and his spiritual growth. This is why in this lifetime, he is naturally a lot more evolved than most (or all) of the collective. But since we do not remember our past lives and only carry that “growth” in our DNA, it’s something that is inherent to him without him actually knowing about it— until recently. Jungkook has been undergoing his spiritual awakening, and has been developing consciousness bit by bit— breaking out of the matrix so to speak. It’s this reason that he is “chosen” to do what he is about to do. Not because he has been unfairly selected out of many others, but because he has made this choice for himself and been working sincerely over many lifetimes. For this reason, Jungkook tends to have very pure emotions, and by pure I don’t mean non-sexual (because there’s nothing impure about sexual feelings). By pure I mean raw, unadulterated. He has very heightened sensibilities and feels every emotion to their purest essence, gifting him with high Emotional Intelligence. Unfortunately, this is not always a good thing because uncontrolled, he often tends to overwhelm himself with his mixed bag of feelings and this also causes the aforementioned escapism tendencies. And this is one more reason why he should level up. Regulating and organizing his myriad emotions and giving them a shape, a course will help him channel these gifts into fulfilling his dreams and creating big things in life. There are many things he can do, like journaling, writing down his dreams, goals, plans and procedure on paper, create routines based on his goals, etc but I feel like he is past this stage and is probably stuck in the part where he is doing everything and sometimes he has his wins but these wins are not becoming stable, and he is still getting his tower moments from time to time. This should mean one thing— he has reached the last stage of this journey, which like I said, is the journey to the Crown Chakra— the state of complete faith.
When discussing the concept of complete faith, we often use terms like blind faith, unquestioning faith, etc and while these terms are not exactly wrong per se, they can create misunderstandings. The Divine has blessed us with the ability to think, question and judge, not for nothing. Is it possible to have blind faith? Of course, lots of people do. But it’s also POTENTIALLY harmful to have faith in anything without actually having a knowhow of it. It’s not necessary of course, but for those who reach that level of consciousness, it is not just important, but absolutely essential to know the ins and outs and still have faith. I say it is more difficult to have complete faith with your eyes open than to have blind faith. Claircognizance at its best, is just that. While so far, your gut feeling has served you well and led you this close to the Divine, it is now time to employ your mind to catch up with your gut feeling and make sense of it all. While you learnt to open your eyes to the truth up until now, it is time to learn to keep your eyes open without blinking again and defend and embody the truth with your whole existence. This is literally the riskiest gamble. Like I said, jumping off the cliff. And that’s what Jungkook is being asked to do. So far he has been getting clarity about himself, his life and his path forward and treading cautiously with his small efforts and small wins, it is time for him to take the big leap forward. But the question of course is, how? And to where? While the details of this answer are with Jungkook, it has to start with releasing his limiting mindset. Have you ever noticed that whenever we have limited beliefs about something, either money or love or peace, the underlying belief is always that “I am limited”, “I have limited abilities”, “I have limited resources” etc. Meaning, any limits that we place on our external lives are actually limits that we think WE have. Money exists in this world, but I think I am limited in my potential to earn money. Love exists in this world, but I think I am limited in my potential to find love. You get the point. We actually do not think resources are limited, we think they are limited for us. Sometimes “us” means me as an individual, sometimes it means us as the entire population (cue: global warming, world peace, etc). Jungkook right now, is in the prime position to step out of this limited mindset into his unlimited potential. He has been operating from his limited mindset which is why his plans, no matter how well made, are failing. He has these big, beautiful dreams and has created this beautiful, peaceful life in his mind, but his old mindset is not aligned with this abundant life. The Universe has been nudging him in the direction of the mindset that he needs to adopt to align with his manifestations. I have written earlier somewhere that Jungkook thinks quite poorly of himself as a person and has self worth issues. In reality, he is the most sincere person Mother Earth has right now who has been working so hard for so long to reach this level of consciousness, it is safe to say no one else is as worthy as him to get everything that we wants. But by having these beliefs about himself, he is blocking the rewards that are meant to come to him. It’s like he has paid the price in advance, but is not accepting the delivery. Both because of being BTS’ golden youngest, Korea’s national pride, all the sweeping predictions about his future, and also his inner voice speaking to him, he is almost too aware of the great big things he is supposed to achieve, and although he does want them, a part of him is also scared and wants to run and hide and settle for something far less aka stay put in his comfort zone— all because of his limited mindset where he thinks he is not worthy of such things. And if you think you’re not worthy, obviously you’re going to think that it’s going to be an impossible task, which eventually either makes you take all the wrong actions, or not take action at all. This is why, no matter what his goals and plans, and no matter what actions he thinks of taking, he has to start with his mindset first. In fact, while manifesting, if I can tell you to do just one thing, it is to address the limits in your mindset. We’ve heard this many times and it sounds so simple but it really is the most, if not only, important step that matters. If the mindset is aligned with your goal, all actions will effortlessly flow towards that goal.
I feel like Jungkook has reached a level of self awareness and inner self dialogue where he is able to identify where his thoughts and emotions are going. He has definitely gotten a far better grip on his emotions than when I started this page, and contrary to what he thinks, his growth has been swift. It’s just that, we always expect a linear growth but that doesn’t happen with spirituality. And so every time he has a down time, he feels like he is back to square one. More so because Jungkook has such a perfectionistic and high achiever mentality. The reason why he seems to be going in a loop right now is because he has learnt and achieved everything that he has to with his current “limited” mindset. Hi future goals require him to grow out of that, not because his goals are something huge and difficult to achieve (because literally small and big are subjective both to humans and to the Universe) but because having a limitless mindset simply means to believe that I am worthy of achieving anything and everything I desire— without conditions. This is the mindset that Jungkook needs to work on adopting right now and everything else will smoothly flow from there. He needs to utilize the power of his mind— awareness, reasoning and self dialogue— to identify wherever he limits himself from believing his worthiness to achieve what he wants to have, and continue this practice until this new “I can f***ing have anything that I want” mindset is his default. Does it worry you that Jungkook will become an egotistical prick after that? Don’t worry, his soul has done enough work in the past to be grounded and humble through it all. This mindset is different from the ego-driven power-hungry mindset. Why? Because this power is the Source power. When we settle into our Crown Chakra consciousness aka Divine consciousness, we plug ourselves into the Source’s limitless creative power. The difference between ego-driven power and Source power is that while the former separates the individual from others, Source power recognizes the individual’s power as connected to and drawing from the Cosmos and therefore one we must give back to. It’s this constant cycle of giving and receiving in the Universe that makes Source power limitless, while the ego’s idea of power is one-sided and therefore finite.
Jungkook is kind of stuck in a place where, because he sees himself as limited, he looks to others to guide him, assure him, and provide him with the knowledge and direction that he needs. And that is because he has been disconnected from Source— not literally, but consciousness-wise. So far it wasn’t too bad, but now it is time for him to let go of the need for mediators and plug himself directly to the Source, i.e. work on his Crown Chakra. And as I mentioned earlier, it is as simple as just using your conscious mind to tell yourself, or more accurately, remind yourself, of your worth and your limitlessness. Jungkook feels like he needs someone to guide him, but he has forgotten that he has been prepared for the exact same task that he looks to another to do. Now this has a connection to his Twin Flame journey because his twin is at the same threshold, ready to level up to the same stage. The only slight difference is that she has already made her choice to level up to the new stage of limitless consciousness. And now it is up to Jungkook to make his. Do you what that means? It means a Union is on the horizon! After a long period of back and forth— one of them goes through a stage first then the other follows, and vice versa— they are finally going to be on the same page energetically, if Jungkook makes the choice. This is significant because Jungkook has been thinking that Union was something that was out of his control and he had nothing to do but to sit and wait, but all the while, it was a choice he had to make. Now, of course, this choice is not as simple as saying Yes or No. It’s a choice of consciousness— a consistent way of life that will, over time, upgrade and align their mindsets so they are both at the exact same stage. As twinflames, Jungkook and his DF are like the same person living in 2 different, alternate universes, with completely different lifestyles, work situations and challenges and the way they process these situations and challenges are similar, but not on the same page at the same time. They are soully same, yet because of their mortal forms being born and being raised in different environments, their ego-bodies have retained conditioning that make them different from each other in many ways, but as they shed their ego programming and connect more and more with their soul and with Source, they will be on the exact same page. This is when Union will occur. When they truly become one person in heart and mind. But this stage right now (i.e. before Union) is also the most challenging because this is where Separation truly happens. Physical separation is the least important aspect of the TF separation. This is where they are both on their own. They must individually find their faith aka go back to the Source, because without their connection to the Source, there is no TF connection; it becomes just another earthly connection riddled with alternating bouts of joy and sorrow, peace and pain. Usually in this journey, one twin is a more advanced journeyer than the other, who first “activates” the other i.e. leads them to their consciousness and guides them, usually energetically where when one twin crosses a stage, the other is literally pulled into that stage for them to cross. It’s like only one twin gets to make the choice and the other has no choice but to follow suit. This is also the reason why one twin feels more helpless and out of control. They are literally being yanked around by their twin’s energetic choices lol. But at this juncture, the guide twin has to leave the other twin’s hand, not because they don’t want to hold on, but because they can’t— they have nothing more to offer. This is where both twins get to make their choices individually. This stage is new for both of them and therefore they must individually cross this stage and meet at the other side. This is the period of ultimate spiritual growth, the after effect of which is blissful togetherness. But possible only if both twins make their choice to move forward.
I’ll end this post with a message from Jungkook’s DF:
Jeongguk,
I hope you’re holding up okay, partner, cuz I know I’m getting my ass kicked. Did you absolutely hate this journey? Because I didn’t. Just like you, I didn’t know what I signed up for either. I made a simple wish and this road has been bumpy but it has also had the most incredible views along the way. The way I have grown over these recent times compared to my whole entire life is crazy! I love who I have become and who I continue to become. And I believe you had a part to play in this. I know you don’t believe that so much. I know you battle with your own doubts, fears and insecurities, just like I battle with mine. You still measure your importance with how much you do for others. But maybe someday I can tell you how much you have done for me simply my existing as who you are. Because who you are will determine what you will always do, not just once or twice. And you have grown so much too! I have sensed that often. But unless we learn to recognize our growth, we don’t see it. But since I had VIP seating lol I got to watch you grow. Sometimes you resisted, sometimes you fought, sometimes you hoped, sometimes you held on to the faith when I was ready to give up, sometimes you were hurtful and challenged me to find within myself new depths of love and understanding. You made me cry, you made me laugh, you made me angry, you made me blush. But you never left. And I didn’t leave either. We tried though. Both of us. And failed. Repeatedly. It’s been frustrating and funny. How we thought we could get away and the Divine kept guiding us back to each other. You know, I think the problem is that we’re both helplessly curious idiots. Always wanting to know more, always wanting to move ahead. Obstacles never had a chance with us. We were always the introspective types, you and I, always looking to solve our problems, hungry for growth. As they say, careful what you wish for.
I am aware of your expectations of me, always was. But I had to hold back. I couldn’t do anything that I wasn’t fully ready to do. Right or wrong, I had to do as I felt guided to do— it’s my sovereign right. I guess because deep down I knew that you would understand. Of all people, you would understand. And I was right, you did. You threw hands and made a mess often lol but you still did understand and patiently stuck around each time. I know it seems like I’ve been running further and further away from you, but I have actually been getting closer to you. Spiritually. I guess soon it’s going to be visible as well. Now there is this stage. It feels like a strange place to be in right now. Good strange. I know you are scared and doubtful and expect me to assure you that everything will be alright. How can I? I am scared and doubtful too. Every day, I am in these juxtaposed energies of faith and doubt, sorting through them like... one moment I am super believing, another moment I’m all nope can’t do.
I know you want me to say that I love you and that I always will, and to promise that if we take this journey, I will be there waiting for you. And I want to. I really REALLY want to make these promises to you. But in the past I have been in situations where these promises were made and then conveniently forgotten later. I’m trying not to let my past control my present or future but I have also learnt that words can be forgotten, but intentions are forever. And that is what I want to say to you: I have the intention. I intend to make this work. When the time is right, I intend to give this my best shot. Tbh, I feel like I have been giving this my best shot for a while now, but maybe we don’t agree on that lol. And I also want to tell you that I’ve never felt about anyone else what I feel about you and I don’t think anyone else can ever take your place in my life. What that means exactly I don’t know yet.
The reason why I tell you neither what to do nor what not to do is because I don’t want to control your life. I know you me to show some ownership on you, and you on me, but believe me, you’ll hate it there. I’ve been there suffocating and it’s the most beautiful feeling to make your own mistakes, learn your own lessons, and watch yourself become your own artwork masterpiece and I don’t want to take away that experience from you. This is not my apathy. This is my gift to you. Also, yes I’m a pretty generous and just generally amazing person lol but do you really think I write pages after pages for just anyone and for no reason? Put two and two together silly.
You doubt your worth so much and since I do that too, I know how that works and won’t hold that against you, but it seems like now you have no choice but to see your worth. You must know, that I’m leaving you alone only because I’m confident you’ll find your own way. I’ll admit, I haven’t always been confident in you. Maybe I will falter again. But don’t you see, that’s the point? I will never be fully confident in you until you are confident in yourself. The more you doubt, the more I doubt too. But I’ve been observing you for a long time now and it’s just so hard to not trust you. Even with all the doubts and apprehensions constantly attacking me from all directions, I keep going back to you. I really hope my gut feeling about you is right or I’ve just made a big booboo lol. The funny thing is, I don’t care as much now. It’s almost like, fine, if anything, this will go down in my history as a wonderful, fun mistake and I don’t think I will ever regret it because in this moment I’m doing what I want to do— either it leads to a reward or a lesson, both are welcome. I have never been THIS vulnerable in my life like I hear myself say these things and I sound so crazy and stupid lol I’m so not my sassy and smartassy self right now.
As I was saying, I really do believe you’ll find your way. I don’t even know what that way is, or what your problems are, but I know you will solve them all. I’ll just be here, solving mine. How do I know for sure we can solve all problems? Because each one of the 7 billion people can. The only reason they don’t is that they don’t have a strong enough reason to push themselves to do that. Do we have a strong enough reason? How much do our dreams mean to us? For me, I have had this picture painted of this perfect life for a while. And yes, it has you in it. Very prominently. In my mind, it’s this beautifully balanced, harmonious, vibrant relationship with a forever after. And I don’t want to ruin that picture for short term hedonism. So I really believe, if our reason is strong enough, if this means that much to us, no obstacle can limit us from getting what we want. You’re not the only one who goes after what he wants and never gives up. I’m somewhat of that breed too. It’s just that this has clearly been a journey and it has brought some wild surprises along the way. I’ve struggled but now I’m learning to accept anything that comes with it. If the road leads me to my destination I don’t care how bumpy it is. It’s literally up to you right now. And I promise, it’s not even that difficult when you let go of resistance. All you have to do is consistently believe that you have limitless power to achieve anything you want and to create your reality the way you want it. I know it’s been a struggle and it feels like just the opposite, but it’s been that way because believe it or not, YOU have had these limiting beliefs about yourself and what you can create. I also know it’s been a long road and you’re tired, but it’s safe to drop the defences now. You might feel like certain situations or certain people are out of your control and how could you ever have things work your way, but it’s all in the mindset. The moment you reset your mindset and stick with it, you will see your reality change. In any situation, do not focus on the external events— they are simply the results of your previous mindset. Rather, ask yourself, what limiting thoughts and beliefs you have in your mindset right now and proceed to change them. I promise to you, people and situations will change to suit your needs, without ever having to deal with anyone. All this WILL happen, so don’t give up until they do. Twinflame, soulmate, karmic, friends, partners, colleagues— everyone will adjust according to your needs when YOU step into your limitlessness. Remember, it’s not just you who are tied to your karmics, they are tied to you too. An attachment exists from both sides. You don’t have to worry over the other person severing the tie, it’s enough if you let go of your end. Ask yourself, what are the common energies I share with my karmic? Identify these energies, heal the underlying trauma and ascend from them. This automatically ends your karmic contract and your karmic is free from you as well, no matter what their status is. The reason your karmics exist is because deep in your mindset you still believe that that’s your place and that’s what you’re worthy of— it’s part of the comfort zone you’re still stuck in.
I wish you well, my favorite human, I really hope I find you at the end of this journey. I want everything that you want. There are so many shared dreams and goals that we have— I will tell you all about my dreams one day. Until then I need to live some of these on my own, go on a little solo adventure, while I let you go on yours. And when it’s over and we’re ready (and no we’re not ready right now no matter how much you try to convince me lol) I promise I will see you again. When and how, I have no idea, but I’m happy to leave that to however the Divine guides us. I promise I’ll never forget you because I literally can’t. Love you!

I need memes for the new boys. Meme me, Poppy. Meme me.
As always, I am ashamed at how well-equipped I am to answer this question...
Meme Fluent: Ash (Undergloom Sans), Ell (Horrorswap Papyrus), Sunny (Gastertale Sans)
Can At Least Ask Where The Bathroom Is In Meme: Brick (Horrorfell Sans), Nemo (Horrorswapfell Papyrus), Aster (Gastertale Papyrus)
Meme-blivious: Yrus (Undergloom Papyrus), King (Horrorfell Papyrus), Merc (Horrorswap Sans), Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans)
Ash (Undergloom Sans): Very savvy and up on all the most popular memes, scrolling through memes is an activity very low on the ‘activity’ part and great for when he’s feeling a little too tired to do anything else. He’s very into tiktoks, which help him keep up to date on the latest meme songs-- some of which he might try to learn to play on his own. In general, he’s also into memes with funny or weird-looking animals (frogs, possums, axolotls, etc), no specific kind of meme, the presence of a goofy-looking creature in it is usually good enough to get a smile or a chuckle out of him.
Yrus (Undergloom Papyrus): Not all that up to date on the meme scene, he’s usually busy with other things... but! He really loves relatable memes, especially ones about procrastination or not being able to focus on work or having to do chores, everyday mundane irritations that everybody can relate to! He also thinks reading comprehension errors are great harmless fun (i.e., “my bad i thought u said moths”), just silly misunderstandings that make for confusing interactions until someone realizes.
Brick (Horrorfell Sans): Doesn’t always remember every meme, but he gets the gist of most of them. His favorites are the MS Paint memes, usually the more poorly drawn, the better (but a fan of pretty much every catcrumb image he sees, those chaotic little cats are great). He can also be caught laughing himself to wheezing and banging on the table over completely bizarre and out of context interactions--for some reason, they just hit right on the funny bone and he has no defense against them. (The ‘Nyquil Detroit Become Liquid’ post nearly killed him, but he would’ve thanked it.)
King (Horrorfell Papyrus): Not too interested in memes. He’s peripherally aware of them but rarely knows the latest trends or cares to know them. He does have a slight fondness for evil memes--ones about being evil or having an evil lair or just have the word ‘evil’ as an adjective in front of something else seemingly incongruous--he finds them silly and they can usually win at least a smirk out of him when he happens to come across one. If you want a laugh, though, find him some of those screenshots of old newspapers from the 30s-50s, formally written humor that still holds up even now (like The Windsor Star, Ontario, November 1, 1958, The Cincinnati Enquirer, Ohio, February 21, 1947, or Barnard Bulletin, New York, December 20, 1935). Sensible chuckles abound from those!
Merc (Horrorswap Sans): Not too into memery, he’s definitely got a lot of other things going on and isn’t always online. Still, he is a fan of stuff like one-time-i-dreamt and other accounts of peoples’ dreams or thought processes. He thinks it’s interesting, the little peek into the wandering, strange, and sometimes funny subconscious, or how people think about love and tenderness and nostalgia and remind others to appreciate those things, too. It’s a very niche, wholesome sort of enjoyment for sure... but not to worry! If you’re looking for something more mainstream and ‘haha funny,’ he also got very into the whole ‘Surprise! It’s cake!’ meme trend that was going on for awhile and is still delighted to find a video where a realistic object is cut into and turns out to be cake. He’s definitely going to make one himself, maybe as a social media marketing thing for his home business...
Ell (Horrorswap Papyrus): Very meme savvy and tends toward some of the maybe darker types of humor--stress and anxiety memes, introvert memes, et cetera. Animated text is a big one he likes, with enough of a mix of pessimist and optimist memes that he doesn’t come away from checking it actually bummed out or feeling bad, a fine line to walk to be sure. He also likes coding and programming humor! He’s still kinda teaching himself, so he definitely doesn’t get them all, but it gives him a little sense of accomplishment and community when he does, which he really likes.
Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans): Not interested in memes, and a lot of them are heavily based on visuals which, unfortunately, he’s going to miss the context. Still, he does get a hell of a kick out of brazen and blatant misinformation--the smooth sharks post, facts-i-just-made-up, and the like--and finds it hilarious when someone insists something that is obviously untrue, especially if a lot of people aren’t getting the joke and are trying fervently to convince them of their wrongness. He’s also a little bit evil, so whenever he learns a new piece of whatever slang is popular and in at the moment, he’s going to use it incorrectly, or use outdated slang to induce cringe in those around him. ‘Totes yeet yo’? Yes. ‘That is so pog, as the kids say’? Of course. ‘It’s lit, fam’? Definitely, who do you take him for? The cringier, the better, he revels in the discomfort of others when he throws one of those babies out.
Nemo (Horrorswapfell Papyrus): Definitely knows a little bit about memes, not always the latest trends but his base knowledge is pretty good, and of course has his favorites. He loves John Mulaney references and reaction images, they just Speak to him, y’know? Outside of that, he’s very fond of day-of-the-week memes, Tuesday Again?, Out of Touch Thursday, Fat Fuck Friday and so on. Aside from being a useful reminder of what the hell day of the week it is, he likes the consistency and recurrence of it, just a silly little moment to look forward to at some point like, “oh yeah, it’s el muchacho monday, nice!”
Sunny (Gastertale Sans): Pretty wise to the meme scene overall, loves the fun and creativity of it all. If you want him to absolutely lose his shit, though, show him a terrible picture of an animal--by which I mean, poorly photoshopped, blurred, in mid-panoramic, as long as the end result is an absurd or very screwed up image. Why are things like ‘buff half cat’ and ‘dog but very, very long’ his sense of humor? He has no idea, but the worse it looks, the harder he laughs. He has a bit of a fondness for ‘gotcha’s too, like a Rickroll but really anything where you go into it expecting one thing, and get trolled by receiving something else. (If Megalovania memes were a thing in his universe, he would be all over them, if that gives you an idea of the kind of gag he thinks is funny!)
Aster (Gastertale Papyrus): Aware of memes, but not all that invested in them. He likes corporate and office/business memes a lot-- the kind that roast bosses and unnecessary meetings, translate ‘polite’ corporate phrases, anything to do with emails--because they can be very relatable. He also likes seeing screencaps of people on Facebook or Twitter getting dragged for misinformation, or trying to act like a pompous jerk and getting shredded (for legitimate reasons of course, not just random unprovoked cyberbullying). He...may be involved in a bit of that sometimes himself: he may not be working in a scientific field, but he is half of a scientist, and just petty enough to spend a few hours of his free time looking up and reading through a few credible sources to cite in a strong and well-crafted rebuttal argument if someone is being especially, dangerously wrong about something. Not everyone has the time and resources to do it, so why shouldn’t he? 😇

Alright, now that I've been given a few hours to stew and think and cry and have several breakdowns over the cancellation,,, let's talk about how I found this show, my relationship to it, and why I love this show
Anyone who's interacted with me in this fandom, be it over tumblr or in the discord know I started watching because my dance teacher was an extra in the Help! scene (bc I never shut the fuck up about it). But it did start a little earlier.
I had seen a few ads, on NBC and on YouTube. I thought it looked interesting, but I was in sophomore year, having breakdowns just about every other day, the homework was hard, and there were also reports of the virus. At the time it seemed so far away, but I had a feeling it would arrive soon. So it didn't seem like something I could add to my plate. I thought it would simply become another Good Girls to me (aka a show I really wanted to watch, and still kinda do, but I never really got around to it.) So, watching it kind of fell to the back of my mind. And then... that fateful day.
It was a big deal when the teacher would put on the TV in the main studio. It didn't happen often, and when it did, it always had to do with dance in some way. But my teacher was on YouTube and googling Zoey's. We sat down, I even grabbed my glasses so I could see what we were watching. We picked up at the ladies singing "Whatta Man" which the owner of my studio was howling at. I'm lucky enough that two of my teachers have been involved in Smuin Ballet in San Francisco, one still currently in the company (although she just had a baby and... y'know professional dance is hard in the pandemic.) I'm also lucky enough to have met another former Smuin dancer who was also an extra in the Help! scene. So, my teacher pointed himself and the other former Smuin dancer out, funnily enough, they were similarly dressed. So, the scene ended and we went on with our class. I went home and put on the first episode.
And then... well we all know what happened next. The US went into lockdown, and there wasn't much to do.
And yeah, I had school. I went into the two five pm history classes I had, I still had homework,,, but other than those two history classes and the occasion english class there was nothing... dance had stopped, homework, class, and the workload changed. Suddenly, I was left with a lot of free time. So, continued to watch Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. For a while, it was Killing Eve and Zoey's Playlist, but then that went away, and it was just Zoey.
(also, yes, I'm aware this isn't linear and in chronological order, but give me a break, my memory is already shit and this pandemic just made it worse.)
In April, I wrote my first fanfiction for the show. It was this small, little piece of fluff that showed a future Zimon and their four kids (four kids, Jesus Christ, what was I onnnnnn). It's already outdated bc of my use of Eddie and not Perry but I still hold it very dear to my heart. It was posted on ao3 on Jun 13, 2020, and was my first fanfic on the site. I've posted more since then, but it's still overwhelmingly zep there, and I currently have two ongoing fanfics. My goal is to become that person in the zep fandom who is known for her works where people perceive Zimon's relationship, in a funny but wrong way (and when I say people, I (mostly) mean Tobin.)
I love Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. It's made me laugh, made me cry, made me sing along with it, and made me actually fully enter a fandom. I've considered myself in fandom long before Zoey's, but Zoey's actually had me interacting with others. It's technically not my first fandom. I'd say that was Mighty Med, all the way back in sixth grade. But it's the first where I've actively interacted with others and even made an acquaintance (Isabella ily 💗).
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist had moments that made it hard for me to love it the way I do. There have been some bad writing decisions. I personally don't ship cl*arkeman, even though it's clear they are endgame.
But, I still love it. It was a coping mechanism in a hard time, and I love that it helped me. And I know it helped others as well.
I know not everyone is going to understand my comparison to Cloak and Dagger. They are vastly different shows. But the cancellation... that's what gets me the most about both. They were both canceled in a way where the fandom was going to feel like crap. Both were canceled after two seasons when they had more story to tell. It was done quietly, and there was backlash. Different programs eyed them. The difference is we don't know how this one will end yet. Cloak and Dagger was canceled, and I'll never be the same. I'll never truly be over it. And while I know I'm not in the right headspace to process this cancellation, I think I may be able to find a way. It'll be really, really fucking hard. But I'm slowly getting there with Anne with an E, and I think I could with Zoey's. It was an incredible show while it lasted, and if it's its time to go... I'm glad for the time I had with it and will help keep it going along with others in the fandom. All that being said...
Save Zoey's Playlist
Start petitions (ig, idrk how change.org works), keep it trending on Twitter, let NBC know it made a mistake, and let other streaming services know we're interested in seeing the show go on. It deserves a clean resolution that's not a cliffhanger. Just let these characters be happy in the end.
This doesn't have to be another Cloak and Dagger, or Timeless, or whatever show anyone has felt never got a proper chance to tell its story and end in a satisfying way. It can be another Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Lucifer, or Friday Night Lights (me, side-eyeing NBC for that one). This doesn't have to be the end. And maybe I'm too late to writing this, maybe it's not trending anymore and it won't trend again, and it won't get picked up. But at least we can say we tried.
This was long as fuck to write, and I could've put that time towards... idk homework ig, or writing the fanfiction I just started, or any of my ongoing two. But it felt it necessary to write this. I don't know why, maybe I just needed to get this shit off my chest. If no one in the fandom reads this... eh, I really can't blame you, it's long as all fuck.
If you did, and you got this far, I love you, I love this fandom, I don't regret my time here, and I hope you don't either. It means the world to me that you read this.
I love you all, and I'll shut up now 💖💗💖💗
#i'm starting a new tag for when i fucking rant#04 rants#there :D#zoey's extraordinary playlist#zoey's playlist#zoeys extraordinary playlist#zoeysplaylist#mutuals i love you please forgive me for this long ass shit

* justice smith, demi man + he/they | you know gabriel de leon, right? they’re twenty three, and they’ve lived in irving for, like, six years? well, their spotify wrapped says they listened to 1984 (infinite jest) by the used like, a million times this year, which makes sense ‘cause they’ve got that whole waking up in a body as heavy as the dead, emotions always on the verge of spilling over - you laugh before the punch lands, the belief that every encounter you have will be the last thing going on. i just checked and their birthday is october 31st, so they’re a scorpio, which is unsurprising, all things considered. ( james, 21, est, they/them )
hi im just reposting gabe’s intro bc its been a very long time n im starting a little fresh hehe. yes i do regret the text color bt im not going back.
VIOLENCE TW
mini playlist.
ghosting ;; mother mother / roam the room ;; citizen / art of doubt ;; metric / thnks fr th mmrs ;; fall out boy / heart in a cage ;; the strokes / where is my mind? ;; the pixies / flowers grow out of my grave ;; dead man’s bones / 1984 (infinite jest) ;; the used / blister in the sun ;; the violent femmes.
statistics.
full name: gabriel de leon.
nickname(s): gabe.
birthday: october 31st, 1997.
zodiac: scorpio sun, scorpio moon, gemini ascending.
label: the icarian.
hometown: belleville, new jersey.
sexuality: bisexual (masc-leaning).
pinterest.
biography.
it’s only rly ever been gabe n his mom n the little new jersey suburbs that r always the same no matter where they go. they dn’t speak abt fathers or brothers or spain or anywhere other than the now, and how its constantly changing bt oddly the same.
his mom’s name is sonia n we love her. she worked a lot as a single mom n p much hs done everything on her own ever since leaving spain.
they dn’t talk abt spain bt we cn talk abt spain n hw sonia hd grown up partially there n partially in the states n hw she’d originally planned to live there forever bt the man she’d fallen in love with ws involved in some. high class dangerous shit n it ws safer fr them to part even if tht involved leaving everything she knew n loved <3
bt its like. ok. bc she hd gabe <3 n they dnt talk abt it so it practically nvr happened. n she tries her best as a mom n usually tht is enough.
they moved around a lot just bc sonia is a very. flighty person. anxious bt nvr seems tht way is just always. tense. gabe didnt think she ws capable of relaxing fr. a rly long time.
she wld commute 2 nyc every morning n after school gabe wld climb onto the train n by the time he got 2 her place of work she’d be just getting off n they’d get a slice of pizza n sometimes they’d go somewhere like central park or coney island (just fr the novelty) bt most of the time they just got back on the train home w/ gabe either doing homework or napping on her shoulder.
when gabe got a little older he’d sometimes skip school n take the train after sonia had already gone so he cld spend the day in nyc. he liked learning bt didnt rly like school. he nvr properly fit in bc of the amt of times they’d move so it felt like nowhere ws. right fr him.
got rly involved in. the punk scene as a young unsupervised teenager n tht led 2 a lot of like. shitty stick n pokes bt also a love of. very loud angry music n a sense of justice tht he held tightly in his fists. got mouthy towards bullies whether at school or in the scenes he involved himself in n started getting into a lot of fights bc of it.
during this, sonia ended up dating n marrying gabe’s stepdad who he calls craig sometimes bt i dnt think thats his name i wont lie to u guys. its partially a joke n partially purposeful disrespect bc gabriel does not trust a single man bt like. man. ‘craig’ is just an accountant. he’s fine he’s a good dude. they once bonded over like. the mets.
violence tw // anyways. when gabriel ws 16 he got into a super super bad fight tht ended rly. terribly n like listen. nobody died bt it ws just. it got blown up very out of proportion n gabe might’ve gotten expelled even tho he wsnt even the one who started it bt thts okay. ‘craig’, or paul, suggested tht maybe. a change of scenery wld b good fr gabe n b4 they knew it they were. moving to paul-robert’s hometown of irving, north carolina. violence end of tw //
he wld’ve complained more bt. fr sonia’s sake gabe kept it 2 himself. it made her happy 2 see them all get along anyways n like. idk he cld put forth tht little effort <3
bt honestly like. he didnt rly get into too many fights once they moved down here n even tho sometimes he ws like. ommgg. i hate this town .. its so washed up .. he still made friends n like. the only thing tht changed ws tht it ws a lil harder fr him 2 acquire illegal substances.
anyways. currently he hs a tattoo apprenticeship n is a professional piercer n like. he plays guitar n writes songs bt thts more of a hobby rn than anything else. mostly focused on paying his rent at port apartments bc as much as he. loves his mom he does not want 2 live with her forever <3 n thts okay!
personality & facts.
overall xtremely passionate person like god. feels emotions so intensely. every time he opens his mouth n talks abt an interest of theirs its just very like. u listen n ur like oh. gained 2 inspiration. thanks.
clings onto his friends p tightly bc he like. nvr rly stayed in one place fr super super long in new jersey so he nvr made very long term friends n now hes like. very clingy HLKDSHLKFSHLKDG also hates to b alone. subtle desperation behind interactions with ppl he rly wld like to be friends with.
like dnt get me wrong hes gotten into. sm fights bt thts mostly bc he cannot keep his mouth shut n he also cnt stand douchebags he like. always wants to tear them down prob bc he ws a victim of bullying. n u know what. we support him. otherwise he loves ppl bt esp if they hv similar interests 2 him.
like golden retriever who bites kind of. intensely loyal but at the same time is very skeptical. things tht good things do not last very long even though they’ve been doing already fr the last few years.
also bit of a nerd. they were nvr rly a big fan of school bt theres smth abt a good superhero comic tht draws their attention more than like. any english class evr. bt seven soldiers of victory? classic. big dc fan.
uh. very into like. hardcore music. hardcore rock. punk. if its loud n angry they r into it like so so much. hs sm tattoos is like. super covered in them its partially bc they work at a tattoo shop n partially bc they do not know hw to manage their money well.
ooohh u know what theyre. kinda moody i wont lie to u. very defensive like they dnt evr wna talk abt their past. has experienced Things n they do not wish to discuss them. will usually like. deflect frm conversations he doesnt wna hv.
in tune with nature. loves fkn taking walks. hangs out in the woods by abernathy creek n lilac ridge bc nobody rly goes there n its just. nice
tries not 2 take anything super seriously 2 the point where when he does take smth seriously its a little scary bc theyre super intense abt it. forcibly optimistic even tho on the inside he feels like a total pessimist. lots of. deep down insecurities tht he projects by attaching himself p firmly onto others. >.>
so so so energetic. can never stay still. always hs to be moving around. restless like tht. probably got it frm his mom. overly protective over the ppl he loves. probably got it frm his mom as well.
goes onto Tangents bt also divert frm those tangents n is generally all over the place.
always cold n always looks tired n like he hsnt slept in a thousand years n u know what. sometimes he just does not sleep.
oooohh theyre a vegan. totally into animal rights. devious little demi man beyond that .. loves horror n the paranormal n believes in like. every cryptic. will debate u on it.
erm not. the kindest 2 themself theyre a bit self destructive. impulsive. drives very fast n parties super hard. said i will hv my effy stonem moment. u dont hv to gabe.
bt ya! luvs oranges n reds n is maybe a short king. hs an eyebrow piercing n like. a lip ring i wont fk around here he IS living his best emo life in 2021. a little outdated on the trends bt thats okay. probably will tell u hes frm new jersey. its a personality trait. smokes the shittiest cigarettes ever.
wanted plots.
just ghosting along ,, dnt even exist 2 me ,, ;; god. firstly just the vast amt of ppl tht gabe hs like. spoken to romantically n then dropped suddenly. n then maybe like. one tht actually Hurt bt they cnt avoid each other bt theyre actively pretending each other doesnt exist n its. hurtful bc it ws like. actually smth nice bt <3 ykno FKLFSDHG
hey hey heyy c’maahn i’m just a little guy ;; n this is the vast amt of ppl tht gabe hs probably. pissed off n hs either fought or been on the verge of fighting just. unable 2 resist a good bicker-turned-duel.
just blistering in the sun ;; they cld b close friends bt also they cld also not b bt just ppl who. indulge in bad impulsive decisions with gabe. general bad influences on each other’s health n just. no good! party hard bt at what cost.
n also ;; like ... rly solid good friendships ... flings n maybe an exe or two tht either ended on good terms or just. horrendous, ppl they’ve distanced frm, ppl also frm up north, piercing customers, bt not tattoo customers bc im p sure they’d get fired if they were just tattoo’ing ppl willy nilly, etc.

Quarantine Love Story
Rating: T; Some swearing.
Word Count: 3,683
Pairing: Kristoff/Anna
Summary: Modern AU; Kristoff and Anna are roommates, and have been for 3 years. With them being stuck with each other in the same house for the past couple months, some things revealed themselves.
Notes: I started writing this in the beginning of quarantine, so some of the stuff in this may be a little outdated, but it still works I guess. I was worried that since it seemed like quarantine was going to end that this story wouldn’t work anymore, but you know, the world isn’t happening like that anymore, so we may be in quarantine for a while now. WEAR YOUR MASK AND WASH YOUR HANDS. ALSO BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER EVEN IF IT ISN’T TRENDING ANYMORE. DONATE, SIGN PETITION, SPEAK OUT. Thx, and enjoy the story :).
Day...Who knows anymore?
I write in my journal today wanting to write, but don’t really have anything to report. I think I’m keeping this journal in hopes someone finds this in the future and I become known as the modern Anne Frank. Seeming how we had similar experiences, stuck inside the same place, with the same people that I’m faced to see everyday. Every once in a while I see my sister, whether on facetime or she really wants to see me and comes over, and always gifts me with cadbury mini eggs...oof I’m even craving them now.
But besides that, I’ll go back to reality and wait until my roommate comes back with a bunch of groceries that were hopefully in stock. Until tomorrow, journal.
Anna set down her journal and pen and went back out to check if Kristoff came back from the store yet. When she saw that he wasn’t back, she grabbed a cup and poured the rest of her favorite juice in it. Since she couldn’t do much, she’s just been eating and drinking all of her snacks and drinks. She hoped he bought her more at the store.
When she heard his car pull up, she put her empty glass in the sink and ran outside to help him. She approached the back of the car, and saw that it was slowly opening, and also saw Kristoff getting out of the driver’s seat.
“Anything good still stocked?” She asked, then she truly saw how much stuff he got, and was genuinely shocked, “Wow,”
“Yep, the thing was the staff were restocking some products so I watched and waited a good 3-5 minutes after they were done to go for it. Probably took me a little longer than I wanted, but the outcome is great.”
Anna just started going in and taking some bags into the apartment, until she was stopped by his words, “Just don’t forget to wash your hands when you’re done,”
“Yeah, I will, don’t worry.” Anna kind of cut him off, and then continued back inside.
She couldn’t lie to herself, she was starting to get a little annoyed with Kristoff’s constant reminder to clean up after a day out.. She’s perfectly healthy, exercises on a sort-of daily basis; with them stuck inside her schedule has been off a little bit.
She just hoped she didn’t tick off Kristoff by cutting him off like that, she knows he’s just looking out for her, especially since they live together. Even before all of this, Kristoff was kind of a neat-freak, so she expected this to happen. I mean, after all, he did take her in when she really had nowhere else to go, since no place seemed right and she had just gone through a rough break up. Kristoff was a good friend and offered his place, for as long as she needed.
They brought in the rest of the bags and started unloading. She went into one bag, “Oh, yes! Thank you for getting the juice, I just drank the last of it.” Anna laughed, and then saw another bottle in the same bag, “Really? Vodka?”
Kristoff chuckled, “Hey, it was on sale, and we could all need some loosening up.” Kristoff smirked at Anna.
“I’m just surprised at the amount of people staying sober at this time.” Anna said.
After everything was put away, Anna went into the bathroom and washed her hands, as she promised, and hummed her favorite song. Not only to ensure she was washing for 20+ seconds, but she just liked to sing when she was doing mindless tasks. Kristoff went into the bathroom to retrieve something from the medicine cabinet, and admired her hummed voice. Once he was going around the apartment and doing his own things, he realized he was humming it too. He liked the song too, and couldn’t stop hearing it being sung in Anna’s voice. It was like entering heaven to him. He shook the thought out of his mind, and decided to really get his mind off of being cooped up in the apartment, so he went to the basement and worked out for a bit, enough to get some sweat out and his mind completely off of Anna.
~~~
A little while later, Anna had snuggled up on the couch as she usually does each night now, just starting the night with the 5th Harry Potter movie, Order of the Phoenix. Already comfortable with her blanket and her hot chocolate, Kristoff comes out of the bathroom from taking a shower after the exercise. He smiled when he saw Anna, so intently focused on the movie, but then he looked at the time.
“Starting the marathon rather late are we?” Kristoff passed by her to go to his room.
“Meh, I may only watch one tonight.” Anna said loud enough so Kristoff could hear her. He came back out with a cozy sweater on and sat on the other couch in the living room.
“That’s alright by me.” Kristoff got comfortable, and watched the movie with Anna.
The scene that was on was when Harry had detention with Professor Umbridge.
Harry stares into Dolores’ cold, dead eyes, trying to have a hint of sweetness. He wants to scream at her for what she had just done to his hand with the enchanted feather. But decided against it. Bad stuff has been happening already. “Nothing.”
“That’s right,” She whispers. “Cause you know, deep down...you deserve to be punished. Don’t you Mr.Potter?” She stares sinisterly at Harry.
Anna mumbles under her breath, “That bitch…” Kristoff laughs at her comment.
~~~
“You’re a really good teacher Harry.” Cho said, “I’ve never been able to stun anything before.” Cho looks up, a mistletoe starts forming above Harry and Cho’s head, she looks at Harry and whispers, “Mistletoe…”
Harry looks at Cho, “Probably full of nargles.” He says softly.
“What are nargles?”
“No idea.” Harry leans in to have his first kiss with Cho, alone in the Room of Requirement, sharing this moment together.
“You know, as a kid I didn’t like the idea of Cho and Harry getting together, but now they are kinda cute together…” Anna said, taking another sip of her hot chocolate that she made another cup of.
“Yeah, but then she totally rats them out about the Room of Requirement, and blows their chances by losing his trust.” Kristoff blatantly says.
“Uh, spoilers much?” Anna smirked.
“Oh come on, like you haven’t seen this whole series a thousand times.” Kristoff chuckled.
“Yeeeaaahhh but everytime I watch it likes I’m seeing it again for the first time.” Anna says.
Kristoff looks back and Harry Potter is explaining his first kiss to Herminoe and Ron, but his mind was still on the scene prior, how Harry had his first kiss and how happy he was to talk about it with his friends. Sure his friends (Herminoe) still found a way to see the hardships that Cho was going through, but Kristoff hoped whoever he’d end up with, his friends would be happy and only think of positives.
He found that he was then looking at Anna. His subconscious knew that she was the one he was talking about, when he thought of who he would end up with.
‘Yeah, in your dreams Kristoff.’ His mind also thought. He shakes his head and gets up to get a drink and a snack.
He opened the cupboard where the alcohol is, and saw that it was already open. He didn’t realize Anna already got to it, since both times she made a cup of hot chocolate he wasn’t looking at her. But that still drove him to ask, “Did you already have some of the vodka?”
Anna looked over, then looked at her drink, and then took a sip, as if he just didn’t ask her a question.
He laughed, and made himself a vodka soda and got one of the snack pack puddings, an adult drink with a kid snack. Kristoff in a nutshell.
He returned to the movie and kinda kept an eye on Anna, seeing if he can tell if she was getting more drunk as the night went on.
~~~
“Do you want any help finding them?” Harry asked Luna, wanting to help find her stuff that people took. Luna smiles and shakes her head, she would be fine on her own.
Her expression falls as she says, “I’m sorry about your Godfather Harry…” She reaches out her hand and takes Harry’s. He is shocked and looks at the contact between them, and looks back up to meet Luna’s eyes. They let go of each other.
“Are you sure you don’t need any help looking?” Harry asks again.
“That’s alright. Anyway, my mom always said, ‘the things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end’.” Her gaze wanders, and she sees her shoes hung from the archway, and Harry follows her gaze. “If not always in the ways we expect... Think I’ll go have some pudding.” She turns and skips away toward the Dining Hall, and Harry looks back at the shoes. He takes the lessons he just learned to heart. He did a quick smirk to himself.
“oH my gOd pudding would be amazing right now!” Anna says a little too loudly and abruptly, startling Kristoff a little bit, but he laughs it off.
“There’s still some snack packs, want me to go grab you one?”
“That, would be great thanksssssss” Anna leans off the side of the couch and smiles with her eyes closed at Kristoff, as he gets up and gets another pack for him and one for Anna.
The rest of the movie finishes and Anna is smiling hard as ever. Order of the Phoenix is one of her favorite movies because of the ending lesson, ‘something worth fighting for’.
“Wooo! God I love that movie.” She looked at the time on her phone, “Ahh, couldn’t hurt to watch one more right?”
Kristoff huffed, “Whatever you want, princess.” He calls her that when he didn’t care what she did, just so long it wasn’t illegal.
She hopped up from the couch, trying to keep her balance, as the alcohol is definitely starting to settle into her. She took out Order of the Phoenix, and put in Half-Blood Prince and sat back down. Kristoff saw how cozy and comfortable Anna looked, with her blanket and big sweater. How he wished he could just snuggle up with her, but that would seem inappropriate, so he just went to his room and got one pillow and a small blanket, actually it was the one Anna gave to Kristoff last Christmas, the first one they really spent together.
Kristoff set up his stuff on the couch and Anna remarked, “Are you gonna sleep out here tonight or what?” She huffed a drunken laugh.
“Nah, if we’re gonna watch another movie I might as well be comfortable.” He looked over at her, and again she was slumped over the side, as she found some comfort in that. “Plus, what if you end up passing out and I gotta clean up everything?”
“I won’t pass out, I’m not that drunk.” Some seriousness poked through. “Besides, you’ll fall asleep before me, you always do when watching movies.”
“Not when I have my vodka soda.” He raised his glass to his lips and gave a cheeky look to her. “You know that. By that rate, at my second one, I won’t fall asleep until I hit my head on my actual bed.”
She mocked his words and started the movie.
~~~
Some point during the movie, in one of the quiet parts, Kristoff noticed that Anna shivered, and her eyes got droopy.
“Anna, you good?”
“Yeah, just got chilly-y, all of a sudden.”
“Are you sick or something? Are you sure you feel okay?” Kristoff jumped up and put his hand to her forehead.
She laughed and swiped his hand away. “Trust me, I’m fine. Is like the window open or something? They said it was going to get cold tonight.”
Kristoff looked around the living room and as it turns out, there was the window open, one of the bigger ones in the room, causing cold air to get in. “See? Told you.” Anna says.
“Sorry, I’ve just been getting more paranoid lately. You never know.” He gets up to shut the window.
“Yeah, but even I knew that the cold air was making me cold, not the virus that I could’ve contracted. Which I didn’t. I’m certain. I’m healthy and fine, and have barely been in contact with anything or anyone.”
“I know..It’s just...you never know…” He quietly said as he went back to his seat on the other couch.
“But I do! Don’t you trust my word?”
“Of course I trust you! It’s just I…” Kristoff didn’t want to say it. He was trying to just get past it. But Anna wouldn’t let up.
“What? You what?” Anna persisted.
“I just care about you too much okay?!” Kristoff blurted out and looked at Anna with wide eyes. But immediately took them back and sank into the couch, trying to glue his eyes to the TV. Hoping she would take it not in the way he meant it.
“You...care about me?” Anna was taken back a little.
“I mean. You’re my roommate. To a degree I have to care about your well being.” Kristoff tried to distract from the actual fact that Kristoff liked Anna. Like, really liked her.
“No...that’s not what you mean.” Anna said, almost in a whisper.
“Look don’t read into it too much, I just meant…” Kristoff stopped when he looked at Anna to finally make eye contact with her, but that’s when he noticed a small smile started to creep up on her face.
Dammit… She knows...But, maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
“Kristoff, I…” She started to say.
“Don’t...just…” Kristoff tried to keep brushing it off.
“I know what you mean, though.” Anna shifted on the couch to fully face him, setting down her mug.
Kristoff looked at her, for what felt like forever. There was just silence.
“Kristoff...do you..” Anna started to say, but then was cut off by Kristoff.
“Look, I don’t want to talk about it. We’re roommates, that’s all.” He got up and went to his room, shutting the door. Not too loudly, he wasn’t mad or anything, just embarrassed.
If at all he was ever going to admit his feelings for Anna, this isn’t the way he imagined it. He laid on his bed, with one pillow and blanket missing, and tried to just get past the moment. He was certain she wasn’t feeling the same things as he did.
It took a couple minutes but Anna knocked on Kristoff’s door. He looked at the door, he decided not to say anything, and just laid on his back and stared at the ceiling.
“Kristoff?..” Anna said quietly. “I know you’re still awake. I also know you can’t sleep with the lights on.”
Kristoff sighed. “You already know it’s open too.” He shut his eyes tight to make sure it was all real.
He heard the door creak open and he looked to his right, and saw Anna slowly walk in. When the door was half open, she just stood there holding the doorknob. “Yeah, but that doesn’t always mean I’m invited in.” She said, looking a little hurt.
“Of course you’re invited in, you’re my roommate.” He sat up and waved his hand for her to come in more.
Anna went to the edge of the bed and sat on the very edge, to where it looked like she was going to fall off.
“You’re making it seem like I’m mad at you.” Kristoff said.
“Well, are you?” Anna barely looked into his eyes.
“No of course not. How can I ever be mad at you?” Kristoff said.
“Well…” Anna adjusted herself to sit better. “How long have you..?”
Kristoff sighed. “Well...first of all I never said anything about liking you.” Anna laughed a little at that. “And second...God, I don’t even remember anymore. It’s been a while. On and off.”
“Why? Why on and off?”
“Because you always showed interest in other guys, not me. Or, if you did you did very well to hide it.” Kristoff managed to crack a smile.
“Well, yeah I guess.” Anna mumbled and looked down at her hands, as she was nervously playing with them.
“There just never seemed like the right time. I mean hell, I took you in when you had nowhere else to go because of that jerk, um.. Lars?”
She scoffed, “Hans..”
“Whatever. I wanted to be there for you and comfort you, but at the same time, I was afraid I would fall hard way too soon, and you needed the space too, so...I don’t know what I’m even saying anymore.” Kristoff backed off from trying to explain his feelings.
“Wait, so, you’ve liked me, since I moved in? That was like, 3 years ago. Multiple relationships between us have come and gone, and...you still had interest in me this whole time?” Anna asked.
“Well...yeah.” Kristoff managed to get out.
Anna smiled, but didn’t know what else to say. So didn’t Kristoff, especially since she hasn’t admitted her feelings, he was just there going about his feelings, feeling like an idiot. So there was just silence between them.
Anna finally thought of something to say. “You know. Since I’ve been here so long with you, I’ve gotten comfortable with you. Like the first time I really had a nightmare, I stayed out in the living room, and then you came out and hugged me until I felt comfortable. After that, if I had a nightmare, I would just come in here and tell you that I need comfort. And you didn’t hesitate to do that. And there’s many more things that I was willing to do because I felt more closer and connected with you. Like tonight. I almost asked if you wanted to just sit on the same couch as I was on. But I felt that was taking it too far...and many more things too because we both had a relationship at one point or another. So I guess what I’m saying is...it’s back on for me. And it has been for a while.”
That last part got Kristoff’s attention. Did she just admit her feelings?
“You mean…?” Kristoff asked.
“I like you too Kristoff.” She finally said.
Kristoff couldn’t contain his smile.
“Does that smile mean you feel the same way?”
“Of course it does Anna. Like I said, I care about you. And like you predicted, I’m head over heels for you.”
She quickly crawled over to him and gave him a hug. The weird thing was, is that there was no weird feeling. It all felt so right for them. Like they belonged together.
They parted to look at each other. Kristoff did immediately feel bad for something though.
“Look, I’m sorry if I seemed very over protective of you. It’s just with everything going on…”
“I know. It’s okay. I get why, and sorry if I did seem annoyed on the outside, on the inside it felt heartwarming knowing that someone was concerned on that level. Like yeah Elsa asks if I’m okay, and I get a couple texts from other people, but...well I guess all those people can’t be too protective because they don’t live with me like you do, so a text is the next best thing to check up on someone-”
“Wow, I forgot how much you like to ramble-”
Already 2 minutes into this relationship and Anna smacks him playfully for his comment.
“Hey! I think it’s adorable, is what I was going to say.” Kristoff smiled again. So did Anna once she realized it was a compliment he was paying her.
They just sat in each other's arms for a bit, basking in the fact that they were a thing now. After 3 years of living together, and the past few months of being cooped up together, it finally happened. Anna finally piped up to say something.
“Well...now you know that I’m perfectly fine, do you mind if I..” Anna asked, almost scared to say the ending of her sentence.
“If you kiss me?” Kristoff said, finishing her sentence, and then gently laughed. “You know, I was thinking the same thing.” He looked deep into her eyes and leaned toward her. She accepted his lips as they pressed into hers. They both smiled into each other.
She hummed her excitement as they parted. Anna’s eyes were closed as she smiled. Kristoff laughed again at her dopey-looking face.
“What do you say we watch the rest of Harry Potter on the same couch?” Kristoff asked her.
“Okay, now you read my mind.” Anna managed to get out of Kristoff’s embrace, but grabbed his hand and led him to the living room. Anna was not afraid to get touchy and close to him, and neither was he. Kristoff grabbed Anna’s waist and slightly picked her up and he plopped on the couch with Anna landing on top of him. They got comfortable, with Anna’s big blanket covering them both, they picked up where they left off with the movie, and just enjoyed each other for the rest of the movie, until they eventually fell asleep.
Kristoff did wake up because of the fact that Anna was moving and mumbling as she was sleeping. It took him a second to wake up, then he picked her up and brought her to his room. He got her and himself comfortable, and went back to sleep with her in his arms.

Public Service Announcement: What is the Purpose of this Blog
So in eons past when I first started the EvilElitest project, I had a clear and straightforward goal. This was going to be a blog that mocked leftists from a left wing perspective, specifically when they resembled right wing talking points. I mostly mocked pseudo science, pseudo history, and conspiracy theories that the left indulged in, while also mocking the right for existing. This plan...went...off the rails for two main reasons.
Firstly, Rightists would often see a single post out of context of my many posts where I was like “BTW, Libertarian is bullshit” and be like “OMG yes, Social Justice Warriors are the worse right” and i’d have to be like “no fuck off”
Secondly..Gamergate happened. And I basically just made this channel a “Fuck you Alt Right” page as much as a possibly could, because that nightmare effectively radicalized me even further to the left. With Brexit and Trump’s election, and Brazil and the world going to hell and me living in Hungary for two years, I kinda made debunking the right a far more important priority for me than the left.
Recently though, I’ve been rethinking this approach, because the problem about toxic ideas on the left is that they can grow out of control and become really awful on their own down the line. Take for example, Anti Vaxxers, who started mostly as part of the hippie/anti GMO/Alternative medicine/anti science wing of the left with its appeals to primordial natural fallacy “purity” doctrine. And then it grew and spread to the left and center and now we have measles back...thanks....thanks a fucking lot. Or how the most toxic elements of RadFem ideology eventually morphed into TERFS, or Transmedicalists, and then I was looking at Tulsi Gabbard’s political campaign and leftists who honestly support Assad and I was like “oh we can’t just ignore this nonsense”. Because they grow and then the right uses them to promote their ideology. And when I see the left employing some of the tactics and anti intellectual attitudes of the right, I see people who are just a few conspiracy theories away from becoming tomorrow's alt rightists (Rosanne i’m looking at you). We need to deal with this stuff early because it always grows into something terrible down the line. So I want to focus a bit more on bad ideas on the left and try to get people out of them, but this presents a problem
How do I criticize the left without giving the impression both sides are equally bad
Because...they aren’t. This isn’t some CNN Horseshoe theory shit about how both sides are equally bad, and Antifa is equivalent to the Alt Right nonsense.
In my view, the left has a bunch of bad actors, anti intellectual trends, conspiracy theories, bad logic, and outdated stupid theories, but all of this is supporting a legitimate political movement that hopes to make the world a better place. Flawed but ultimately good
The Right meanwhile, is inherently illegitimate at the core, and is largely worthless on almost every level
My major critique of most of the left is....when they act like the right.
But because this is tumblr and people don’t understand nuance, I want to try to find a way to critique certain elements about the left without giving any legitimacy or ammunition to the right. And...I’m totally open to suggestion btw, I don’t know the answer. My current plan is going to be to tie everything I critique in with behaviors of the Right or just randomly say things like “The Civil War was about Slavery” or “Climate change is real” or “Facts exists” within any critique of the left. I could also bother with disclaimers but nobody reads those anyways.
Anyways, here is a critique that came about from a class today so I can give an example of what I mean.
I was in a African history class, and we were reading the book The River Between, which is an extremely well written book that I recommend to everybody (I also even more recommend Nervous Conditions which we also read) and the book is sort of a defense of female circumcision, which as you might imagine sparked a contentious debate in my class. while we were talking about this I was mentioning patriarchal power structures and a student said to me “Patriarchy was invented by Christianity, who used it to enforce male power structures like when Rome overthrew Cleopatra”
Yes that several paragraph long disclaimer was entirely because that statement just flummoxed me so much I couldn’t keep it to myself. Its utterly wrong on so many levels. Like
1) patriarchy has existed long before year 0, like just to use some examples close to Christianty, ancient Greece had horrific gender norms
2) Augustus...wasn’t Christian...and took over Egypt before Christianity was even a twinkle in Paul’s sun stroked eye
3) Romes imperial days are largely prior to Constantine, at least Western Rome
4) Egypt was also a patriarchy, just not as rigid as Rome (which was again pagan
5) Augustus war with Cleopatra was not religious in nature, though it was sexist
LIke I expect this nonsense from rightists, who have no understanding of history at all, but I shouldn’t see leftists supporting this ahistorical nonsense.
Ok but ranting aside, I’m still trying to find a way to critique elements of the left without giving ammo to the right any ideas?

just finished re-reading your hp au fic and i really adore it so much, especially the details you've included about Ilvermorny - since jk kinda sucked the fun out of it with all the appropriation you sort of brought it back to life for me. anyway, even if you never write more, i'll likely go back and re read often. on that note, do you think you'll ever add more to it?
Hi anon.
I’m not sure if you mean the two stories I’ve posted on AO3 so far or just the first one, but just in case, the AO3 link is there. (And you probably know this already, but I’d also like to point out jetpackingpenguin’s Hogwarts/Triwizard AU which is awesome.)
And I know what you mean about JK Rowling. The new stuff aren’t fun and very disrespectful. She’s unfortunately very Euro-centric and it looks like she’s not taking off her blinders anytime soon.
I was hesitant to continue the HP AU because it would take place in the very setting we HP fans have complained about, but I have all these ideas and I thought maybe I could just use this opportunity to make a commentary about that. So to answer your question, yes, I am going to continue writing the HP AU. (write what you know, as they say.)
And on that note, here are a couple of snippets:
1
Lucía here is their Muggle Studies studies teacher. I alluded to it in the previous fics.
“I wish our Muggle Studies teacher brought us to these kinds of trips,” Andrew said to Lucía. After the toy shop, the student chaperones had led them to an electronic store, to the amazement of the other kids. They’d just left said store and were now just looking through the shop windows.
Lucía hummed, taking a moment to observe the students in front of them. “If all schools actually hired Muggle-borns to teach Muggle Studies, students would learn legitimate things about the Muggle world.”
“The Muggle Studies teacher at Hogwarts now is Muggle-born, you know,” said Andrew, sounding defensive. “Not when I was a student, though,” he admitted ruefully.
“Well, I suppose that’s another thing Ilvermorny has over Hogwarts,” Lucía replied. She didn’t really care about school rivalries, but Andrew was always so annoyingly superior about Hogwarts that she enjoyed enumerating ways as to why Ilvermorny was better, no matter that she didn’t believe them. “It has hired Muggle-borns to the Muggle Studies post for the past few decades.”
Andrew scoffed. “It’s all well and good for Ilvermorny to hire Muggle-born teachers, but the MACUSA still forces us to hold Muggle-born students’ wands hostage when they have to go home on breaks. That law’s outdated, I don’t know why it hasn’t been scrapped. It’s been proven that school-aged children are more prone to accidental magic if they don’t have their wands with them.”
“Oh, I won’t argue with you there,” said Lucía. “I think the MACUSA might be the only magical government that restricts underage wand-use to school boundaries. We certainly don’t have that back in Mexico,” she added. “And as for accidental magic without wands, that only applies to children educated under European systems.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, Native American schools here teach wandless, nature-based magic,” Lucía pointed out. “And [the school we have in Mexico] has a mandatory subject on it from first to seventh year. Children educated under non-European systems are far better at controlling their magic without wands.”
“Wait– wandless magic?”
Before Lucía could reply, she noticed Valentina leading Juliana by the hand towards the front of their group. Valentina said something to the seventh-year Muggle-borns that Lucía couldn’t hear, but she pointed towards a clothing shop nearby, making her intentions clear.
2
After three days of being cooped up in the castle, Valentina and Juliana were finally able to go out of doors. The winter cold remained, but it was no longer biting, and the sun shone brightly, driving away the last traces of the past few days’ bad weather.
It was the perfect day to go flying, and Valentina was planning to do just that. She’d decked herself and Juliana in warm flying robes, Juliana borrowing one of hers, and they’d put on beanies for good measure. The flying robes had high collars that protected their necks from the cold, so they’d done away with scarves as it would only get in the way. Having dressed appropriately, they’d raced across the school grounds towards the broom shed to get their brooms.
“Hey, Juls,” Valentina called out as she took down her Nimbus XV from its specially-reserved rack.
Juliana, who was selecting a school broom from the communal racks on the other side of the shed, turned and gave Valentina a questioning look.
Valentina smiled slightly. Juliana looked adorable, covered as she was from head to toe with the exception of her face. “Do you wanna use my broom this time?” she offered.
“Val,” said Juliana, giving her a hesitant smile, “you said that’s not a beginner’s broom.”
Valentina nodded. The Nimbus XV was a Chaser’s broom, built for speed and agility over stability, responding to its rider at the smallest touch. “Yeah, but you said you wanted to fly up to the tower by yourself,” she said, meaning the disappearing tower she’d used to retreat to when she was feeling particularly down. She’d shown it to Juliana a few weeks ago and they’d gone up there twice, both times with Valentina flying the two of them on her broom. “With the wind, it’d be hard to go up there on those old brooms. We don’t have to go up there now, but you can start practicing on this.”
“But what will you ride? I don’t want to go up there by myself.”
Valentina scoffed playfully. “I can fly up to the tallest tower on like a… Firebolt 1.”
Juliana chuckled at that. “Alright, Señorita Águila, do you want this one?” she asked, taking out the Firebolt Magnum out of its rack. It was what Juliana had been using, the newest among the school brooms. In fact, it had been donated by Valentina herself when she’d upgraded to her Nimbus XV last year.
Valentina nodded, walking across the shed towards Juliana, who met her halfway. She handed her Nimbus to Juliana while Juliana gave her the Firebolt. Her old broom thrummed somewhat erratically in her hand, an indication of its less than perfect condition. The Magnum was still a relatively new model, having only been released a few years ago, but Valentina had always breezed through broom models like they were fashion trends. It had never been out of a desire to have the latest model; her brooms just had a habit of quickly wearing out. Eva had sometimes said that Valentina ought to take better care of her things, but Valentina never really saw the point of it until she had to help Juliana select the best out of the school’s sad collection of second-rate or second-hand brooms.
.
I’ve chosen those snippets because they’re mostly exposition and have a lot of nerdy Harry Potter stuff, which you seem to like, anon. 😊
Mind, those are unedited, so excuse the errors / weirdly-constructed sentences. I still don’t even have a name for the Mexican school.
Anyway, I am glad you like the story. I have most of it formed in my head up to Juls’ fifth year and Vale’s seventh. (I should probably outline it, lol.) I’ve got some ideas after that, but they’re all fuzzy. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to write all of it down, but if the time ever comes that I feel like I can’t – hopefully that doesn’t happen – I promise to just dump it on a “proto-fic” type of post.
#au#harry potter au#magic au#every time I put in that 'keep reading' thing I pray to the internet gods that it works#it never does on first try :/#stories#mine

(don’t) take me to church
foreboding chapter title, yes? well I had to continue Isabella’s ( @bitchesofostwick ) trend of titles being songs. and, in the spirit of procrastinating and needing a pick me up, here is part 4 of our ongoing shits-n-giggles dragon age modern au.
on this episode, we follow Liv as she takes a chance on seeing Cassandra again, this time one-on-one. the meet-up has a promising start, but old habits die hard -- especially the fight or flight kind.
part one // part two // part three
--
She walks the long way to the shop, which is not the ideal option considering her combat boots rub her ankles wrong after she wears them long enough. No matter, because she has her headphones in up to an unhealthy volume. It’s the playlist Ellinor sent her last week of old classics so she stops playing the same five songs on blast.
When she shows up to the little corner hole in the wall shop, there’s no sign of her. The place is cute, cookie-cutter, but cute. Chalkboard menus on the walls and hanging plants in the windows. A backroom people use for meetings or study groups.
Pulling out her phone, she resolves to text Ellinor a proof-of-attendance while she finds the bathroom:
Here at coffee...gonna find out if it was a mistake.
Once again she goes to the mirror to check her face. Ever since she fixed her lipstick from having kissed Ellinor on her worried, sweaty head she’s been paranoid there’s a smudge out of place. All the while she dances in place, having scoped out the bathroom stalls for feet and finding herself conveniently alone.
It’s that one song from that 90’s bad, Garbage, the one she’s been jumping on her bed while singing out loud. The one she can’t resist singing out loud while she’s digging in her shoulder bag for her MAC lipstick.
“....My only comfort is the night gone black I didn't accidentally tell you that I'm only happy when it rains...”
She’s rocking back and forth when she finds the tube. She then looks pouts her mouth in the shape of an “O” while she’s singing along with the chorus of “ooh’s.” It’s then that she looks in the mirror and sees a face, confused but not horrified, standing behind her. Not just any face. Her face. That face that said goodnight and walked away with the manners of a nun. But nuns weren’t supposed to be that hot.
Olivia shrieks, and tosses the lipstick up in the air as she flinches like a frightened woodland animal. Garbage is going off in her ears about only being happy in the rain while she falls back, her combat boots failing her as one of them slips on a piece of tissue and a puddle.
She swings back, but right before she goes full horizontal, two arms hook under hers and break her fall. They do more than that, they damn near throw her in the opposite direction, they’re nothing but muscle. How is that possible? Olivia huffs as the wind is knocked out of her. She doesn’t lament or soak it in -- as quick as she can she shuffles her feet underneath her, turning around in her hold and pushing off her. In the blurriness of it all there is Cassandra, letting her go, hand pulling her white sweater down.
White. Oh, no.
“Shit!” Olivia yanks out her headphones, butt against the porcelain standalone sink. Her eyes can’t decide on whether to lock on Cassandra’s widened ones or the black smudge that is now on her pristine sweater. Like, really pristine. Does she iron her clothes?
“Shit, Cassandra,” Olivia grimaces and grabs for one of the paper towels from the outdated dispenser. “I’m so sorry, I-I didn’t...I didn’t see...shit, I’m so--”
“Olivia,” Cassandra says, calm and decisive as she holds her hands up to chest level, “It’s alright, are you okay?”
“I…” Olivia is preoccupied as she’s watering down the towel. “I’m fine, I was just...I meant to do that…”
“You...what?”
“I meant to...dammit, on your white sweater!” She bites her lip and turns back around, holding the crinkled, wet towel in her hands.
Cassandra blinks as they come to a stare-off, and she looks down at herself. Pulling her shirt out, she lowers her brow but doesn’t scowl like Olivia expects her to.
“Oh...that. It’s alright. I don’t really wear this sweater all that often, anyways. My Uncle bought it as a gift, but it’s...not really my style.”
Olivia holds her breath. “You...you don’t have to explain to make me feel better. I was being ridiculous.”
“You were what? No, that is--”
“I suck, I’m so sorry,” Olivia holds the towel out to her with a stiff arm, keeping her distance.
Cassandra pauses, but takes the towel from her. It’s like a reverse hostage situation: take the towel or else. The mortification level couldn’t be any higher.
“...Thank you?” Cassandra replies, but then grins crookedly. “But I think you need it more than I do.”
“What? Oh, nah,” she chuckles anxiously, “I’m wearing all black, I--” While she’s busy looking at her own outfit, Cassandra comes closer. Effortless but gentle, she reaches and wipes away smudged lipstick on the side of her chin. It’s quick, but just enough for Olivia to freeze like that same scared woodland creature, only now in headlights. A few strokes, and Cassandra steps back, crinkling the towel up and tossing it into the trash.
Olivia releases the breath from her chest, her knuckles having turned white as they clamp on the rim of the sink behind her. She didn’t have to get that close. She didn’t have to stare at her lips while she did that. That was not heterosexual. That was not...wait, shit. She has to say something.
“Uh...thanks.”
“I’m sorry if that was forward. I tend to see things that need to be done and just do them.”
You should do me then.
Olivia shakes her head to free herself of that visceral train of thought before she goes completely off the rails. “Uh, no, it’s fine. I just...I’m still a little dizzy from the...the thing I just did…”
“...the slip?”
“The...yeah, that.”
“That’s okay. Um...how about we go and order? If you haven’t already. I just got in.”
Olivia softens her grip on the sink but doesn’t move. Part of her wants to push her out the way in run. Another part of her wants to slide back onto the sink and pull her in, and really ruin that damn sweater. It’s the prime time of sapphic panic. Ellinor would be laughing her emotionally constipated ass off.
“Order. Yeah, hah,” she breathes, stepping forward. “Right. Let’s do that.”
They make it out the restroom and Olivia manages not to put her other foot in her mouth while they order and find a seat. She orders a chai, and to her surprise, Cassandra orders a mocha. Sweet and frilly when she expected her to go for something rugged and unaffected, like a cup of dark roast black with no cream, no sugar.
“I wanted to thank you again for inviting us to the concert,” Olivia says, holding the mug to her chin with both hands, having settled a bit since her slip. “But then again, maybe the true show were the geeks we were with.”
Cassandra laughs softly and sets her cup down on the dish that came with it. “That’s a good point. I don’t know what’s gotten into him. He won’t stop texting me about her. She really doesn’t give a lot of leeway, does she?”
“Ellinor?” Olivia smirks, “well, let’s just say one year for Halloween, I wanted us to have old timey costumes. I showed up wearing a princess dress, and she showed up in a furry vest and whiskers drawn on.”
Cassandra tilted her head. “What was her costume?”
“Oh...uh, she went as the rat that carried the plague,” Olivia slipped out before pressing the mug to her lips.
That wins a heart chuckle of disbelief, which in turn makes more butterflies flurry in Olivia’s stomach. Not a good sign. Cassandra then leans onto the table with her elbows, her forearms stacked on top of one another. Her body language and confidence is inescapable and slightly infectious.
“Let me guess, your dress was black?”
“Hah! How did you know?” Olivia mocks.
Cassandra blinks softly and grins some more. “Just a hunch.”
Olivia looks up and finds herself lost for words despite the simplicity of the conversation. She tucks her ankle behind the other and puts her cup down, all the while Cassandra is staring at her. It’s not entirely unfamiliar to be the center of ogling attention, but with her it is different. Scary, but different.
She stares back, finally courageous enough. But then, a ‘ding’ goes off. Then another. Then a third. Olivia looks but her phone screen is black. When Cassandra rolls her eyes and sighs, the source of the sound becomes clear. She pulls out her phone from her back pocket and starts scrolling. She frowns and loses all brightness from her face.
“Everything okay?”
She shakes her head and starts typing. “It’s fine, it’s just...my family.”
“Oh, hah, I know how that goes.”
“They’re just...busy, and won’t stop group chatting about every little thing. There’s an event today. I have to run youth group later.”
Shit. Church stuff. Olivia swallows, trying not to look phased. “Oh? Youth group?”
She sends a message and locks her phone, setting it on the table corner. “Yeah. Today’s discussion is supposed to be about chastity and virtue. They want a woman to be able to discuss it with the girls, because, of course,” she says, matter-of-factly, like it’s just everyday stuff.
Olivia nods and rolls her lip. “Yeah, of course. I mean, it makes sense. Someone who can be realistic and approachable...someone who knows. Like, it’s good to hear from someone like that that you don’t have to be perfect.”
“...Yeah. Kinda like that,” Cassandra’s expression goes a bit off for a moment. Olivia, of course, fixates on it with all of her anxiety. Her hold on her mug tightens, but otherwise she keeps her composure.
“Listen,” Cassandra blinks, looking off over Olivia’s shoulder before focusing back in on her. “You should come around sometime. I think you’d find th--”
“What...wait, you mean, go to your Church?”
“Well, yeah. If you want. I know it sounds kind of corny. But you...I mean, from what I know of you, you’re really booksmart, and I remember you saying you take philosophy. I see your parents at our services sometimes. The people are really nice, and I know everyone says that, bu--”
“Hah, Cassandra,” Olivia rubs her own arm, “I said I take political philosophy and marxist theory. I don’t get into theology much. And my parents...they...”
Cassandra shrugs a bit. “I think you’d find the categories are less isolated than you think.”
“I know they aren’t. But I study what I study.”
“And I study what I study. I think you could learn a lot from my side of the tracks, just as--”
Olivia chokes on her mid-gulp mouthful of chai, eyes going wide as she sets down the drink and coughs into her sleeve. Fucking fantastic. All the happy-go-lucky white noise music in her head fades to silence. This was all that she was after: convincing the scary girl who looks all lonely and pretty by herself that she needs the Holy powers that be to rectify her false logics. For as much as she has tried to keep an open mind, the trap doors lock in place quicker than a downtown crosswalk signal.
“Me?” she manages to cough up as her reopens her eyes, finding Cassandra leaning forward and looking concerned. “Me, learn...learn from...”
“Uh, yeah,” Cassandra reaches and offers her a napkin, which she takes quickly, and presses it to her mouth. “You okay?”
Olivia has the sudden desire to shove the napkin in her mouth and shut herself up. Yet, once again, she must answer. Wiping the corners of her painted lips and then her stained shirtsleeve, she tries not to blow steam from her ears.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I just breathed wrong. Uh, Cassandra, listen” she smiles joylessly, tossing the napkin to table. “I...I really have enjoyed myself. You’re really nice, but, I’m not...I’m not in need of…” she looks over either shoulder before leaning in, voice going low. “I don’t need saving. Or...or proselytizing. I know I have a reputation, or whatever. My parents try to hang out with yours at whatever swanky, stuffy, pastel clubs they both get into. I’m the kid in the gated neighborhood who didn’t drink the kool-aid. But tying me down in a back room and putting a crucifix to my head while some guy name Trevor plays an acoustic guitar while...wearing acid wash jeans and drinking kombucha is...is not my thing. So, if you’re just trying to save my soul, I got news, you can…” she stutters while she stuffs her lipstick in her bag, along with her wallet that had been resting next to her elbow. “You can...just...not do that, okay?”
She gets up, and Cassandra stands with her, but she does not step in her way.
“Olivia, I didn’t m--”
“No, just...just let me go, I’m late for something. I’m sorry about your sweater,” she blurts out before rushing past her, leaving a half-filled Chai and way too many indulged daydreams behind. Finding the closest door, she escapes with her dignity barley intact, and rushes down the block until she finds a corner store to dive into and hide. Just in case her runaway initiative is followed.
She pulls out her phone again. Texting won’t do. She has to call. She tries, but Ellinor goes to voicemail. Typical. Who calls anymore?
She groans, staring at a store aisle shelf full of breads. Another call attempt, but nothing. Did she actually go to class? Or work? Or do something besides wallowing?
She decides to text again.
Abort mission!!! It was just the Churchie shit. I’m dying. Going home to hide.
With shaking thumbs she types and hits send. It’s still mid afternoon. Crap, had they been there that long? there’s a possibility Ellinor could be meeting up with Cullen already. If her day has gone south, she can at least hope hers stays on the up and up. Giving herself one more minute of precious hiding, she presses herself against the bread shelves, her forehead falling into a soft loaf of sourdough. She lets out a dreadful, aggravated whine, and hugs her arms to herself.
“Ma’am, can I help you?” a store clerk peaks around the corner, looking a mix of both concerned, tired, and scared.
Olivia doesn’t pull away, but simply responds with her voice muffled against the bread plastic. “I’m fine. Just...just...finding little options for gluten free…”
“Oh. Okay.”

Hot Topics in The Shadow World: Ratings.
I don’t know. Rainy days and a late night shift makes you tired and yet I still wanna rant about the whatevers…hahaha.
Topic 1: The ratings.
There has been words going around with Shadowhunters poor ratings in the past 2 episodes. First, don’t worry…it’s only has been 2 episodes. Not enough to define anything. Shadowhunters is on Tuesday, also a hot night for many other popular shows…okay, that doesn’t help it. But listen, television isn’t the same anymore. In the United States, a common measurement tool is the Nielsen ratings…which was rooted since 1920s. So, that’s outdated. Because we live in the time of streaming…Netflix, Hulu, DVRs (does people still do this?), and the other 10,000s networks with their own websites and apps. People often watch their show, on their own time now. I do, I worked long hours and my work schedule is never consistent…So, I will miss a few episodes and will catch up on Hulu or Freeform app. Thats just life these days. So no worries. The numbers isn’t reflective. There is also the International fans and trust Netflix does know how many times you watch a show or a movie. They know!!!! They’re always watching you…hahaha. I am kidding. No, I am not.
However, there are factors about Shadowhunters that may or may not contributed to the lower ratings. The hiatus was long. It was long. Let’s be honest. And sadly, when topics like the polls and the competitions was being pass along on social media…Shadowhunters was still in the season 2 contents while other shows had newer materials and were more fresh in the viewers’ minds. But, I am just observing here. For example, Malec in the polls and all recent couple competitions this year was…not as heated as the past ones. Maybe because people were done with ships wars…who knows? Or people haven’t seen or heard of Malec for a long time. It’s psychological. However, all the excitement was lukewarm while waiting for the hiatus to end.
Another factor is the controversy. Season 2 was an improvement from season one, but yet it still had it’s moments of downfall. However, perspectives are divided. Though, reality is that it was a hot mess…no matter where or what side you stand on. First, the 2x07 infamous episode. That was something. Personally, spreading hate is never good. It’s terrible. I don’t support that. However, not speaking your mind when something was poorly written and poorly directed…and very misleading than that is also something to think about. Freedom of speech. Nevertheless, I said my part on the topic. I hatred it and I was not cool with the way Malec was treated vs. the other characters and couples. It was misleading to me. However, I stayed with the show (I am very supportive of the show) and stayed optimistic that the show will improve itself. The world is changing and all we can hope is that the changes are good for us.
The other controversy is of course…the Take Over. I am not going to say much here…but it did change the way the cast interacts with the fans…There hasn’t been a take over since then. So? Unless I miss one??? Was there any take over after that incident? Just saying. Some people did find themselves…done with the show after it. And that’s their right to do as they want. Respect. Not all the fans stayed…however, there also new fans joining the fandom too. So…you just can’t see the true statistics.
However, it is so important to not worry. The show just started. Rating will go up and down. The network does need to promote the show more. Shadowhunters doesn’t get a lot of support…in the marketing department. Have you ever seen an Entertainment Weekly Cover special for Shadowhunters? Or see Harry, Kat, Matt, or Em on Late Night Shows? I remember walking into Hot Topic and seeing Riverdale’s merchandises. And that show is on their 2nd season. So, promotion and marketing for Shadowhunters is one of the weakness, I have ever seen for a popular show. I was kinda shock. However, the showrunners are hinting future merchandises for the show. Let’s hope.
The strongest marketing and promotion is the fans!!!! Social media is Shadowhunters…strongest promoters. Have you guys seen the fan arts, the gifs, the videos, the color books, the hand made funkos…their amazing. The fans are the ones that trends Shadowhunters. Ep 2 had low rating but yet trended to number 1 on tumblr. That is because of the fans.
I always tell people…that its the fans that made Shadowhunters. Yes, the crew, cast, and team is a major factor but without the fans…it is nothing. Shadowhunters is a social media driven show. The showrunners, the writers, the directors, the cast, even the make artists…and etc…interacts with the fandom…very profoundly and constant on social media. Of course, it isn’t always going to to be nice. That’s life.
They want to hear from us. We want to hear from them. That’s feedback.
I feel…I am talking all over the place…it’s the lack of sleep. I am not expecting anyone to read this. Just wanted to rant…hahaha.
I just wanted say something about something. And tell people…Not to worry. Season 3 has just started…there’s a lot coming. Give it time to see it as a whole picture. Don’t stress out. Shadowhunters is Freeform’s number one show…it’s an old network (It uses to be Fox Family, then ABC family…now Freeform)…but yet it’s still young network compared to the others networks.
Shadowhunters will be fine. It’s getting better…looking better…I see a lot of improvements but also see room for more improvements…and that’s fine too. I am excited for this season…right now, we can only wait and see.

Motorcycles. How long to cut 3/8 case hardened security chain?
"Motorcycles. How long to cut 3/8 case hardened security chain?
I am using a 14 foot length of 3/8 case hardened security chain to secure my motorcycle to a large tree. The company where I bought the security chain said it would take about 1 hour for a portable grinder to cut through it, and it would make a lot of noise. The bike is chained between two apartment complexes. Would a thief take a chance of stealing my $9,000 Harley? Thank you.

What's the best option for changing cars and insurance?
Ok so I got my Service/MOT, Insurance and Road tax at the end of the month, I've been driving for 1 year now and touch wood I wont crash by the end of the month to get my 1st year no claims. I currently have a Renault clio 1.2 However in about 6 months I would like to change to a Audi A3 1.6 as my insurance will be cheaper with the 1 year no claims. (Had to get a 1.2 for the 1st year as Insurance would be crazy) I am currently getting quotes from Admiral and Diamond insurance for a annual fee of about 670 or Monthly installments that come to 1000, so Ideally I will just pay the full year off. But as I said in 6 months ill change cars and by the time Ill sell and buy a new car there could be 2 months where I'm not even driving, and don't want to pay for insurance for not even driving about. I can't find on these dam insurance sites about if i can put my insurance on hold (Admiral). Not sure if I will get charged if I put it on hold or not, as all these insurance company's are very sligh. and Should I pay the Road tax for the whole year or just the 6 months? Also what's the best place to buy/sell cars? ebay / auto trader? (I bought mine from the Motorline Renault garage)""

Since I don't have access of my previous medical history, I'm looking to see if there is anyone that can help me with insurance WITHOUT that information from me.

I am a mom of two kids and highschool graduate. the title to my car would be in his name. Unless it doesnt matter to have it in both our names. we live in ms and he uses state farm.
Can I drive without my name on car insurance?
I'm 18 living in California. I am not on my parents insurance because I don't have a job to help pay the monthly fee. I do however drive the car with my parent in the car with me. My mom signed a waiver that said something like My child is not responsible for any damages if in a collision. Basically saying that my mom is taking full responsibility if anything happens to the car wile we are driving. So I guess y question is; Is it illegal to drive without being on the insurance, but an adult who is on the insurance is in the car? In other words can I still drive with a parent whose name is on the insurance, even though my name isn't? I apologize if this sounds confusing.""
When is the affordable care act being voted on?
When is the affordable care act being voted on? And if it is repealed how long will it take till insurance coverage from Parents plan is taken away from young adults?
""Driving other cars, insurance policy for under 25?""

Car insurance in ontario?
Ok so im about to buy my first used car and i have no idea how getting insurance for your car works. im going to call around to find the best rate but do insurance companies normally make you pay anything up front? i was told that sometimes they make you pay for two months right away. is this true? i have enough for one month of insurance up front but i want to make sure i save enough money to do so if that is usually the case thanks.
Motorcycles. How long to cut 3/8 case hardened security chain?
I am using a 14 foot length of 3/8 case hardened security chain to secure my motorcycle to a large tree. The company where I bought the security chain said it would take about 1 hour for a portable grinder to cut through it, and it would make a lot of noise. The bike is chained between two apartment complexes. Would a thief take a chance of stealing my $9,000 Harley? Thank you.

Ow, I've heard The Legend of Zelda is really good! I grew up watching old CN and things like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Sailor Moon, etc. and I honestly really miss those. :( There was also this cartoon based on an Italian comic I think - W.i.t.c.h that my friends and I really loved, but I'm not really sure in which countries it was broadcast. Aw, Gakuen Alice! I used to read it before and loved it but I don't remember if I did finish it.
See, I tend to enjoy things a lot but later my memory just forgets a huge portion of them. It’s really annoying. ;; That’s why I’m bad at picking favourites. Hmm, a book I really love is The Little Prince. It was my goal to read it in French, but I’ve yet to try and do so. And I don’t really have a favourite series, since I end up being hooked on most of the things I watch. But let’s say that my year’s favourite is It’s okay, it’s love. Woa, this became long. .-.
What about you? Any favourite books and series? Also, what film genres do you like? (aaah, I’m not seriously involved in singing, I just really enjoy singing along to songs and so on; I’m not good at it tho) (and I really enjoy reading about your interests, so write as extensively as you want without apologies ^^) - MyDay S. Santa
Yeah it is! I haven’t played every single opus yet tho. I do too. Like, lately, the new “trend” seems to be remaking old cartoons and it seriously is a catastrophe… Like I swear, it looks ugly and the stories aren’t even funny anymore. >
Same tbh. I’ve seen and read so much things that I can’t even remember. x) Owh, well. The only version I’ve ever read of The Little Prince was Italian actually. ^^’ But it isn’t that complicated I think, though it’s getting quite old so the vocabulary might sound outdated. Owh, I’ve heard a lot about this one but never watched it.
Hm… I don’t read that much, but there was this book I read when I was like 10 or something, Vive la République and I can’t really tell you why but even now I can still remember pieces of this book very well. And this year I read Two boys kissing by David Levithan and yeah, I really loved his way of writing and seeing things. Ok this time if I don’t sound absolutely boring then you must be a Saint or something. I don’t really enjoy watching movies? x) Like, I have a hard time staying focused on a thing for a looong time. So full-length movies often get boring for me, even if they aren’t. So I prefer watching funny movies, since those keep me “busy”. Else I get distracted and end up checking my phone or daydreaming and loose track of the story. x) Or, I like movies that set up a whole complicated universe, like Fantasy or what. Not much science-fiction tho, since those are, most of the time, not scientifically exact anyway. (I still find it cool that you enjoy singing even if you’re not that good :) ) Though, to go back to that topic, The Little Prince really is a cute and nice story, and since you already know it, it’s a good idea to start reading in French with something you already know, that’s what I did with English. :)

“2013 REWIND: DJ Relenless Talks Music, Politics, Life And The Future”
December 26, 2013 at 4:29pm
What can I say about the year that gave us "twerking" and the "Gay Lumberjack meetsHillbilly Chic" beard? The year that blatant abuse of power with a side order of racism and homophobia was the order of the day. Where Pop Divas battled for the top of the charts, but were side swiped by a smarter girl from Houston.
Yes, 2013 was a quite a year in news and for me personally.
It seems like every year Reality TV gets more and more out of control. We went from a sassy toddler beauty pageant contestant to a backwoods redneck duck calling family and suddenly became surprised that the monarch of it was homophobic and racist. And not wanting to be outdone….the Kardsahians pulled every trick out of their Prada bags to stay relevant. Too bad that not even marrying Kanye West could keep them afloat on the internet. Kanye had a moment of truth on Jimmy Kimmel when he went on to address the parody of his BBC interview. For just a second, I understood his point of view, but then he just kept on talkin'! His mouth is gonna be his biggest downfall. He has some clever twists of phrases in his lyrics, but his idea of being a super genius is what keeps everyone from taking him seriously. Poor Paris Hilton…..she's no longer the "rotten spoiled whore darling" of media. Instead of releasing that horrible song with Lil' Wayne she should have done a sex tape with him. That would have kept her in the news for at least a month. We were continuously being bombarded with information everyday. How could anyone keep up or pay attention?
Musically, we started out the year doing the "Harlem Shake". This really funky dance featured in many Hip Hop videos got appropriated and transformed into convulsions of the masses. Great beat, but no one I saw online was doing it right. This was kinda the "Year of Appropriation" (folks basically stealing other things from other cultures…..some for music, some to shock and some just to get a laugh). Even my alter-ego, Jade Elektra found herself being appropriated by Circuit DJ/Producers who years ago would never play or admit they liked tracks like "Bitch You Look Fierce" or "Why Are You Gaggin'?", but now are stealing riffs and lyrics to make these outdated tribal tracks for shirtless steroid boys to throw their hands in the air while their drugs kick in. That's so 1998!
The word "twerk" was on everyone's lips after the 2013 MTV Music Video Awardsbecause little Hannah Montana decided that once and for all she was no longer going to be a Disney Princess. So, when Miley Cyrus bent over in front of Canada's Marvin Gaye,Robin Thicke during a mash-up of "We Can't Stop" and "Blurred Lines" the course of Pop Music history was changed forever. Online and in the media, Lady GaGa and Katy Perrywere slated to duke it out for the top of the charts by September. After that moment, no one was even thinking about an "Applause" or a "Roar". But no one could have predictedBeyonce coming around the corner in at the last moment in December with her brilliantly unannounced CD and Visual album. Finally….an artist got it right. Release more than a bunch of songs. Give your fans a complete package and they will go out and buy it in droves.
Rivalries between Chris Brown and Drake or Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea seem to cool by summer. I think a few people found out that the internet could be a dangerous place for their careers. Bad publicity is still bad publicity. And when you are trying to sell records in this economy…..it would behoove you to sit down and shut the fuck up! I didn't get the apology that I wanted from Eminem, but I did get to hear him say that he is not a role model and that he did a lot of his early 2000's antics for publicity. But like Andrew "Dice" Clay andLisa Lampanelli, you can only go so far shocking people before it turns into hate. On top and everyone's talking about you and then poof…..you're gone. The next obnoxious thing comes along. So, I lifted my ban on him just in time for his well crafted album, "The Mashall Mathers LP 2" (produced by the legendary Rick Ruben).
Idiots like Justin Bieber and Rob Ford really found out how bad publicity travels around the world in a second. These fools spent the year just writing jokes about themselves with every move. And it's sad that the City Government in Toronto has nothing place to remove Fordfrom office after admitting he lied about smoking crack, got caught on video with some shady dealings, possible murder suspect and told a room full of reporters that he has more than enough "pussy" to eat at home. Bieber just really needs a good ass-whippin'. Punk ass bitches like him are always super tough behind bodyguards when he would bust a grape in a fruit fight (to quote Jay Z). God….please make his announcement about retiring TRUE!
It was quite the year for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. These two have played their hand very well. I just wish that they would give thanks to Ellen DeGeneres for really launching their success by having them on to perform "Same Love" in October of 2012. And speaking of lesbians on daytime television……it has been great to see the void of Oprah filled with two dykes competing for ratings every weekday. Queen Latifah & Ellen seem to be fighting over guests and who's funnier. The only thing is one is completely out and the other dances around the subject.
But we did have some new entries into the game. The LaToya Jackson of the Braxton family, Tamar Braxton really stretched her 15 minutes into 20. Kendrick Lamar shook things up on the Hip Hop scene by just being raw on his lyrics. And thank God that damn "Royals" song by Lorde seems to be dying down! I love when they hype a new artist that they think is the next big thing. She should take a look back at Nora Jones. Praised and revered….now no one knows where she is (taco stand, maybe). At least with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis they had a few years under their belts to find their sound and message. This kid's album sounds like one song. No variations and nothing interesting. I don't wanna hear another teenage girl who sounds like the voice of a baby doll programed with the latest catch phrases…..just tired! But we'll see what happens at the Grammys.
And speaking of the Grammys…..I definitely think it's gonna be a Justin Timberlake year. I think the lawsuit by the Gaye family will hurt Robin Thicke's chances. But Pharrell Williamsshould snatch a couple awards for producing and singing the track "Happy" for "Despicable Me 2". Let's just hope there won't be any awkward performances like Lady GaGa & R. Kelly's "Do What U Want" on SNL or Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" on theAmerican Music Awards even though they both made for good television.
Apparently some other "good television" in 2013 was "Breaking Bad". Who would have thought a show about dealing meth would be one of the highest rated show? Perhaps with the state of the U.S. it's not that surprising at all. From the blatant sabotage of the government by the arrogant and racist Republicans to the dumbing down of TV programing, many didn't have much to turn o except drugs to cope. Medical marijuana has legalized pot in certain areas of the country and many are trying to find doctors who will give them a prescription for any ailment.
And the Reality TV shows just keep on a comin'! My favorite new title coming from the states is "Sex Sent Me To The E.R." (probably because I could have been on this show….but we'll save that story for my book). As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, it saddens me that good actors can't get work today while simple and common people can allow cameras to follow them around and makes millions. And talking with one of my good friends who is an excellent director, I realized that this Reality Crap has effected our actual actors in America. Now perfectly good actors are "acting" like Reality Stars to get work. This is why Australians and Brits are playing Americans better than Americans. It reminds me of when I was applying for a job at Gym Bar in Chelsea, NY back in 2009 and the owner actually asked me to not mix my sets. Mainly because the norm in the bars in Manhattan these days at some gay hangouts is a DJ who cannot mix. That is killing the art of DJ-ing and definitely killing the art of acting!
But never fear….Kevin Hart came up with one of the most brilliant ideas. "The Real Husbands Of Hollywood" has flipped the script. It's a fake reality show with real celebrities. Very funny stuff! I predict that Mr. Hart will take the place of Dave Chapelle in 2014. God knows, he's about to drop several movies at once to start the New Year off. Let's just hope he doesn't implode like Dave did.
The other disturbing trend I watched in 2013 was the Conservative Party of Canada's government borrowing pages from the U.S. Republicans' playbook. Not many realized thatFOX News opened an office in Montreal this year. That means that the Republicans have raised enough money off the puppet shows like "Family Guy", "American Idol" and "The Simpsons" to expand to another country. The very things that the Republicans hate and want to fight to keep down like gay rights, immigration, poor people's dreams, etc…are the very things they sell us on their shows to make money to continue their agenda. Their remarking of voting zones and opposing Obama tooth and nail is part of their plan to take back the White House in 2016. And don't think for a moment that the Obamacare website debacle was not a scheme by the Republicans. It's just too bad that him being the first African-American President has left him in a position where he can't call them out without them saying he's playing the "race card". These days everyone is holding their breath hoping that Hillary Clinton will run in the next election. At this moment and time, she seems to be the only threat to the Republicans. But a lot can change over the next year couple of years. Remember back in 2008 when we all thought she was a shoe-in?
But I guess the most frustrating thing to watch this year was the acts of racism and homophobia. The George Zimmerman Verdict in the murder case of Trayvon Martin really sent a message about America that polarized race relations. It gave us the new and improved "Jim Crow". It raised the question "Have we really evolved at all?" People likePaula Deen and Phil Robertson are great example of the rebranding of "Jim Crow". Celebrities like Julianna Hough dressing in "blackface" for Halloween, Steve Martintweeting a racist jokes, the attacks on Nina Davuluri for being crowned the first Miss America of Indian decent….all tell a different story about "the land of the free." Some tried to apologize while others just "stood their ground" and let their racist thoughts flow like theRiver Jordan. And even though Elisabeth Hasslebeck was finally asked to leave "The View", I think it was a little too late.

But I guess the most ridiculous thing I just read about recently is the "National Chick-Phil-A Day" coming up on January 21st, 2014. Supporters of Phil Robertson are planning to converge on all Chick-fil-A restaurants to show their support for him and freedom of speech. Hey…it worked when the company came out against gay rights! But in a strange move the fast food chain has quickly denounced any involvement with the movement. Probably because Robertson is not only a homophobe but also a racist. So, the company has had to pick and choose their hate. Yes…we hate homosexuals, but we love our black customers who eat chicken!

http://www.tmz.com/2013/12/25/chick-fil-a-phil-robertson-facebook-group-statement/
But as for me, 2013 taught me a lot about myself and where my life is going. With the help of my husband (John Allan), Todd Klinck, Phillip Fournier and the owners of Crews & Tangos I successfully maintained a monthly fundraiser for one of the charities that is dear to my heart…..Toronto's People With AIDS Foundation. Probably because I have witnessed first hand the good work they do for people living with HIV/AIDS. I don't think that everyone realizes that all it takes is one person to start a movement or to take a stand. I hope that I have inspired a few people to live in their truth. It's the only way to live….for me at least. I've learned that it is never too late to right a wrong (especially when it comes to your family).
2013 also taught me to always stand up for what you believe in (even when it is the unpopular thing to do). Pride week in Toronto showed me how some people only see what they want to see. Supporting your friend when they have done something that is wrong or controversial does not make their actions right. It only makes you look uneducated. Opening a conversation and dialogue about different view points should not turn into a "Twlight" movie with Team This and Team That. If you don't know what it is to be discriminated against or degraded because of who or what you are, then of course you will not have the same view point as of someone who has. Social Media has turn everyone into their own little islands. And our youth suffer the most because they actually believe the hype of entitlement. A few likes or quick comments posted on a page makes them believe that they are that important when there are much bigger issues at hand.
So, even though I have lost a few friends and acquaintances behind standing up against a racist act, I have gained a few a long the way and remain proud that I said something when most didn't see what was wrong in the first place.
It weird thinking back at the movie version of George Orwell's "1984". "Big Brother" was a real threat to our lives (or at least we thought back then). The idea that someone was watching us 24/7 without our control or consent was a scary concept. Now "Big Brother" is a reality show and everyone is clammering to post their most intimate details online. I love seeing photos of people behaving badly, smoking joints and almost naked in their bathrooms. And then they wonder why they can't get a job! It would seem that "Big Brother" has figured out how to watch us with our permission and no one is the wiser.

For 2014….I pray for clarity. I pray for continued good health. I pray for a common ground where we all can be heard and still respect each other. I don't have to agree with you, but that does not mean we cannot work together to make a better place for all of us.
