#also that's how i found out they're married irl

[siesporamor]

I was scrolling through Instagram and clicked on a recommended reel that was like "multicultural couple things" and then I realised it was FUCKING EMILIA AND BENICIO.

part eight here

[youremyheaven]

is there a way to look at kinks/sex interests in the chart via nakshatras? i’ve tried googling on this subject but i’ve barely found anything on the topic beyond the simple “look at 8H or 12H for that”

OOOOH that's a spicy question 👀🥵(MINORS DNI)

I think trying to understand the nature of nakshatras helps in understanding what turns those natives on/what their kinks are. The yoni animal really helps in this regard. its imp to think of sex as a part of life and sexual nature as an extension of one's personality.

for example, i have two cat yoni friends (they're both ashlesha tho) who both have vaginismus which makes penetration really hard for them. male cats have barbed penises which makes penetration unenjoyable for female cats and its absolutely crazy how that can be manifest in cat yoni natives (i wonder how this will apply to male natives tho).

elephant yoni girlies i have known irl have had crazy sexual appetite. i do think your other placements/yoni animals will expand or restrict the energy of your primary yoni animal tho (which is the yoni animal of your moon nak).

lion yoni men freak me out bc ive had bad experiences with many of them. multiple guys who were creepy/SA-y with me had lion yoni. i think it makes you have an aggressive sexual nature.

ive noticed that many Moon dominant men kind of have a breeding kink or some type of semen related kink (sorry for being graphic, if youre a minor pls stop reading). ex: nick cannon who is hasta sun and has like 12 kids or something. i also think men with Moon influence love curvaceous women.

Mercurial men love someone who challenges them. they need that kind of stimulation to be turned on. i havent actually noticed this with mercurial women tho.

mars dominant men love milfs. most of them marry women who are much older than them.

i think venus/to some extent moon influence makes people attracted to those who they want to be like?? they'll straight up start acting like their partners. ex: kareena kapoor, shravana moon, when she was dating shahid kapoor, she was a vegetarian, super spiritual etc (like him) and after meeting and marrying saif ali khan, she has turned into a wine drinking, decadent, literature loving type person like him.

men with buffalo yoni (im thinking of Swati because those are the men i dated lol) have crazy BDE (and more than just energy👀) i know buffalo is not the same as a bull but i think the same masculine virility and tenacity applies. generally some yoni animals are more submissive and some are more dominant (just the nature of those animals, some are preys, some are predators) and i have noticed that every guy ive ever been attracted to has a large yoni animal because im (exposing myself here) hella submissive. if they have a mid-range animal/domestic animal/small animal, i feel put off with them bc i cant "submit" to them?? if ykwim

also check your darakaraka planet/placement etc and that will also help you understand what type of people you're attracted to. if you have Mars DK in 10h, you'd like someone a bit aggressive, sporty/athletic but also ambitious, career oriented, successful etc

i dont really know if i answered your question and im sorry i dont know any sources to direct you towards but i hope this has given you some ideas.

[thehollowwriter]

I think we should talk more about the mysgony when it comes to parents in media, and how fathers are favoured and praised for the most the most basic shit while mothers are demonised for making mistakes or being bad. This is gonna be a long one, buckle up.

I hate Mrs Rosehearts as much as the next guy, but it's unfair that Mr Rosehearts is not given similar criticism for allowing his wife to treat Riddle the way he does. I hardly see people bring him up apart from mentioning that Riddle's parents probably have an unhappy marriage, and some people say something along the lines of "poor Mr Rosehearts, struggling with a wife like that".

Of course, we don't know enough about his character to gauge how Mrs Rosehearts treats him, bit it's clear he just passively stands to the side when it comes to whatever Mrs Rosehearts wants to do with Riddle. That itself is very harmful and it's own form of abuse, imo.

The same applies to Alador Blight from the Owl House. He's praised for being a wonderful dad that finally came through and stood up to his "horrible wretched bitch of a wife" (who, if she was a guy, would probably have more people analysing her and trying to find ways to sympathise with her just saying)..

And while, yes, he did stand up to her and that's a good thing, the general consensus is he was a brilliant dad from the start that was held back by his wife's wicked ways. But... that's not true? His first appearance is him telling Amity to stop being friends with Willow. He ignores his children constantly, and, like Mr Rosehearts, stands passively to the side when Odaliah treats her children like her property.

He's a neglectful parent at best and just as concerned with image and status at Odaliah at worst. But... that stuff is just forgotten. Most people just say "we thought he was bad but it turns out he was manipulated by his wife". He is HIS OWN PERSON. You cannot just blame everything on his "evil manipulative wife" (which is also smt that sometimes happens irl when both parents are abusive). He is still fully capable of making his own decisions.

And again, it's unfortunate, but if Odaliah were to be given his treatment or if Alador were a woman, the general response would be "That's sad but not an excuse! I can't believe she was forgiven!"

The worst I can think of atm, is Silco and Vi from Arcane. Now ofc they're not married. But the circumstances are similar.

Silco is praised to the high heavens for being one of the best dads in animation (#1 goes to Doofenshmirtz ofc, which I agree with) and the reasons for this are because he... shows his care, puts Jinx first, and loves her. Wow. Fucking groundbreaking am I right. The bar is soooo high/s

The thing is, Jinx is a child soldier. She works for Silco, protects his shipments of Shimmer, takes out the enemies that need taken out, etc. He found her as a young child, and when we cut to the present, she's murdering people without so much as flinching, even delighting in it, and suffering badly from trauma and hallucinations.

Obviously, Jinx was not given the care she needed, and was instead trained to assist Silco.

Am I denying Silco loves her? Of course not! He clearly does. But that's just not good enough. He's a loving dad, but not a good one. He's not the father that neither Jinx nor Powder needed.

Meanwhile, we have Vi. Vi loves Powder, protects her, cares for her, tries to keep her out of harm, stands up for her, and so on. She cares so deeply for Powder, and you can see it. The moment she got out of prison, her first goal was to find Powder.

However, because she hit Powder once, and shouted at her, she's apparently an abusive monster who never cared about Powder. Reminder, she hit Powder because her entire family was killed in front of her and then she learned Powder was the reason that happened. She was like... 14? And she immediately left to calm down. She did not abandon Powder, she left to take a breather because she realised she was too angry. And when she came back, she was drugged and arrested.

Silco is a grown adult who purposefully flooded the streets of the Undercity with a highly addictive drug, turned Powder into a soldier, and is generally a terrible person, even if he is a three dimensional amd well written antagonist.

Vi started the story as a teenager suffering poverty and discrimination just like Silco, had to deal with her own parents death, then her adoptive family was killed in front of her, and then she was forcefully taken from her sister. And yet, people are convinced Vi is a terrible and abusive sister who never loved Powder?

The only example worse than this, methinks, is Stella and Stolas from Helluva Boss.

Stella is a shitty mother who ignores her daughter, which the the audience is shown via a scene were Octavia is having a nightmare and she tells Stolas to deal with it. She frequently screams and swears at Stolas and throws things at him, with no regard for her daughter's presence or feelings.

This is pretty terrible, right? Of course! Everyone knows Stella is a horrible mother.

Stolas on the other hand, is praised for being such an loving and caring father, who tries his best. He even has a song with Octavia!

Well, he also: openly talks about having sex with Blitz and how much he likes it while she was right there, told her people want her money and her body, generally doesn't pay much attention to her either bc he's wallowing about Blitz not loving him back, and doesn't give her feelings much regard.

And yet, the misogyny extends beyond just Stella because people generally agree that Octavia is ungrateful and doesn't appreciate Stolas enough. They get mad at her for disliking the fact that Stolas is cheating on her mother with an imp who's been nothing but rude to her and ruining their family further, and even mock her for feeling unloved. Hell even Brandon, one of the creators, has allegedly recently called her a "cockblocking slut" which, frankly, is a disgusting thing to say about a 17 year old girl.

Idk man I'm just tired.

AITA for getting tubal ligation, eloping with my two girlfriends, adopting a cat and moving out, all in two weeks and without telling my mother?

🏥💍🐈🏠

So, I (F, 21) have been planning for a long time to sort out my life. I live in a European country, I'm in college and work part-time. For years, I've been saving up money to get financially independent as fast as possible and move out of my parents' apartment. I also wanted to have enough to pay for tubal ligation procedure, because I don't ever want children and would feel much more at ease when I'm certain that I can't physically get pregnant. My mother from the beginning was very against that idea, telling me I'll change my mind later and not to do anything permanent.

Two years ago, I've met two wonderful women, A (26) and K (23) on a discord server dedicated to our shared hobby (writing fanfiction). We'd been talking and messaging for months, eventually creating our own server and sharing our irl names and faces. It naturally progressed to a point where we chose to call it a relationship (I'm on the aroace spectrum, we're all neurodivergent and have a weird relationships with gender so it's not a traditional romantic/sexual relationship by any means). We're all from the same country so we met up a few times before deciding to all move to one city and live together. K and I are finishing our bachelor's degrees and A works from home so there weren't any obstacles. We found a flat and A moved in, waiting for me and K.

My mother knew I was bisexual and dating A and K, but thought again that it was "just a phase" and that we were only friends pretending to date for some reason. I love my parents, they are great and supportive people but sometimes it can be so exhausting to convince them of something when they believe they're absolutely right. So, I just stopped talking to my mother about my relationship and plans for the future. I visited A (and K after she moved in) in our apartment without permanently staying there yet.

A, K and I got an idea to celebrate us finishing college and A getting a job promotion by going abroad for a week. K jokingly suggested that we could visit another country and get married (gay marriage is still illegal in our country). Obviously, polyamorous marriages are not legal anywhere in Europe, but A told us at the beginning of our relationship that she never wanted to get legally married for personal reasons (but a non-binding marriage ceremony was fine with her). So, all three of us could have a ceremony and K and me could get legally married (the marriage still wouldn't be legally recognized in our country though). Then I also realized that I could get a tubal ligation in the country which we wanted to travel to (tubal ligation procedure is also illegal in our country).

I knew my mother would be against both of those decisions and I didn't want to argue with her the entire time before I left abroad. So, I just told her I'm going on holidays with my two friends for a week and she accepted that. I've also been slowly moving a lot of my stuff from my room in my parents' apartment to our apartment and was ready to completely relocate.

Anyway, the wedding went great (the witnesses were six people we knew from the discord server where we first met, who lived close by and could get to the wedding site easily), my operation went great, the trip was great, and just as we returned a friend asked if we wanted a kitten, because their cat had recently had some. We agreed.

When I was sure everything was settled, I called my mother and told her about the wedding, the operation, the move and the kitten. She was shocked and angry, said she felt disappointed and betrayed I hadn't told her about any of my plans, didn't even invite her to the wedding and that I damaged my body and would regret having my tubes tied. I tried explaining that I didn't know how she would react, that based on our previous interactions I hadn't thought she'd be supportive and that I wanted make my decisions without also having endure her disapproval. She cried, told me I hurt her and to give her some time to deal with all the revelations.

I feel terrible for upsetting my mom, but honestly, I think I did the right thing and that informing her beforehand would've ruined my mood and I'd have had to argue with her on the phone constantly during the trip.

So, Tumblr, AITA?

[the5thcellar]

I actually think Luke is serious about A. That age gap is typically what men marry these days. I think he's crazy about her and was taking it slow after a long term break up before going official. That shows intention, planning, and wanting her. I wouldn't be surprised the official IG couple post is coming soon.

I'm just upset that they took it this far with promo. Tom and Z were meeting each other's family outside of work early on, so to say you are officially brining him to meet the fame was a bit much. Closing your eyes when she touches your face? Grade A acting. I hate that it makes me believe he was never attracted to an amazing woman like Nicola. I feel dumb for falling for it all. I hope Nicola finds a handsome guy who will love her proudly.

that's a really interesting take tbh! ive actually never considered he was serious about her in the sense of marrying - but of course this is purely based off the vibes I get and is entirely my own view.

one of the reasons i say this is because luke doesn't seem too inclined to keep a completely friendly distance between himself and nic - i heard that the QC leads india and corey were shipped really hard by fans as well and he had a gf during the whole press run - and towards the end india and corey started posing separately on carpets (i.e. no touching, no friendly hand around shoulder even during photos etc) because they wanted to emphasise that they were really just friends.

luke in contrast seems to have no qualms about blurring lines - and one of the reasons the more rabid fans kept insulting Antonia was a direct result of the fact that he kept stating his "single" status to press. I think he could have helped Antonia avoid a lot of the flak she drew by just stating that he's seeing someone. but maybe he felt it would draw even more attention to his private life and her? idk. i don't want to puzzle over his motivations because I don't believe they are too complex - I've said this many times before and I'll keep saying it - no matter how good a man seems (and I do believe Luke is very good and sweet), trying to justify anything they do is still a sure path to disappointment.

more importantly: please don't feel dumb for falling for the hope that nic and luke could be together! i really don't think they were being deliberately disingenuous - i actually think the opposite - i think they themselves are often confused about what they really are and it's just easier to define it as being great friends. it's strange but i get the feeling that they see each other as a source of potential - it's simultaneously impossible and also the easiest thing in the world for them to envision a reality where they're together - there just seems to be many barriers to it happening for real. they're comfortable living in the liminal space between great friendship and great romantic love - it definitely explains why nic said she doesn't have a relationship in her life that's anything close to what she has with luke. I think there just needs to be a decisive push for them to ever move out of this grey area. it'll have to be something massive for it to ever happen... and it's not something I hold out hope for (again, just to avoid disappointment!)

this got really long; I wish nic and luke all the best and I think they have something very special with each other. I think life has many many stops along the way and I don't think luke has found a final stop in his romantic journey with antonia - they are both very young and they don't have the vibe of "together forever" couples - if they did (since luke is such a big believer in love at first sight) - he'd have laid down a commitment a lot sooner.

again I want to emphasise that this is all MY POV - it's the vibe I get. I'm WELL AWARE I don't know these people irl. There's always criticism of how parasocial fandom and stan behaviour are but I think most fans - myself included - are very conscious of the fact that the way we perceive and interact with celebs is completely one sided. I'm also not a psychic or clairvoyant or anything of the sort. i just strangely feel a lot of things all the time and ive never been chill a day in my life 😂

sending you lots of good feelings and healing - I feel your hurt and unease and disappointment because I feel the same, but it gets easier to accept with each day that passes.

SPOILER WARNING for Crimson Rivers!!

Regulus updating James on their relationship status and their life in general is one of the funniest and one of my favorite things ever

Like he seriously was just like "would you marry me" and because Jamie said yes of course, decided that they are engaged

I love him so much haahha and Siri being like "walk me through it" and then having to explain to Reggie that saying "would" instead of "will" changes everything and that they're not actually engaged... and Reggie sticking with it and being like "nah Jamie knows what I ment we are engaged"

Jamie just thanking Frank for the congratulations lolll - he was just so happy about being engaged he did not care at all that he found out at the same time as everyone else hahahah

And Reggie correcting everyone about calling Jamie his boyfriend instead of fiance

"fiance actually" when Rabastan uses the term boyfriend

"fiance!" As he slams the guys head against the table and Barty immediately "yeah be careful with that he is very sensitive about what term you use to refer to James"

And him updating him about their life still even after they're married 😭💜

He really just babysat a pair of twins for a few hours and the three of them decided that the twins need to stay with Reg and he just was like "okay Siri I need a favour also hi Jamie honey welcome home, how was your day? Yeah so meet our new kids because we are keeping these two" like I love this sm it's hilarious

Like obviously I'm paraphrasing all of this but yeah, I just need to gush about cr because I can't do that with anyone irl loll

Also its been months since I read it so I really miss it but I dont have time to reread all of it at the moment 😭

[rindragon-from-twewy]

Lol ok so I've had the mdarc dlcs for a while but I've only just now found the time/motivation to play them. I binged them all in one go and ig I just wanna talk about my opinions on each one a bit (I have nobody irl to talk to about it so I figured posting is a good enough substitute lol) It's a long read tho so buckle up!

Spoilers for all of them below the cut. And feel free to comment/rebog with your own opinions too cuz I wanna hear now that I know the full context for them all!!! <3

Desuhiko's; Someone take this man to rehab for recovering cringefails, he needs help. While I love him, having him in the protag position honestly made my skin crawl a little. He's built to only be a funny side character imo. Enyne's obviously a lesbian and also my girlfriend now I'll have you know- that's why she rejected the proposal cuz she's already married to meeeee! /j ... But also I'm just a sucker for the detective x thief trope and for that reason I can't pretend that Desuhiko was completely dumb for proposing like that- you'll find a girl (or guy) who's into cringefail losers eventually my dude. Honestly if I had to change one thing about it (besides the constant second hand embarrassment enducing dialog-) would've been cool to see him interacting with the phantom thief before his elaborate plan to catch them started. But that could just be my oumasai brainrot talking.

Fubuki's; BABY GIRL BABBYYYYY!!!! Why didn't she get much focus??? Halara and Desuhiko did basically everything- they stole her spotlight :(! She totally could've figured it all out on her own if she'd found the dice herself, I'm sure!!! She didn't need anyone reminding her of her own powers nor did she need Desuhiko to accompany her to see the fortune teller! She's not an idiot, the others just don't give her a proper chance to prove it! It was an interesting mystery though. I loved seeing the trio interacting more without Yuma around. I'm guessing all bar the Yakou dlcs take place before Yuma's arrival? Slay. Also, also the fact that she took an interest in card games afterwards??? And she's so good at them that she doesn't need her forte to win?! She's so precious! I need to give her a hug! TwT

Halara's; This case what honestly easier to solve then chapter 3's but also... damn I can't believe Halara kicked Kinger from The Amazing Digital Circus in the face like that. I can't tell if he was referring to Halara or his fiance when he said "I can kill the woman anytime" but I feel like Halara kicked him extra hard for misgendering and/or demeaning his own fiance like that, depending on which it actually was. Either way it was hot as fuck. (Yeah I've been a Halara simp this whole time, now that's a lore reveal!) I loved how Halara agreed to the job even thought they knew they couldn't accept the "we can keep a cat here" payment- it means that Yakou probably found out about their affections towards cats before Yuma did! That's cute- to think they think they're so on the down low about it but it's just so obvious! I wish the culprit wasn't so obvious but oh well- these cases aren't meant to be difficult after all!

Vivia's: EMOOOOOOOOOO!!!! SEND HIM TO EMO JAIIIILLLLL!!!! DERPESSED EMOOOOOO BASTAAAAAARD!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3 Still though- this doesn't change my mind about being neutral about the Vivia/Yakou ship. I tolerate it, live in harmony with it... I just don't see their dynamic as inherently romantic? But I get where the shippers are coming from now at the very least. I could maybe see them as queer-platonic? But that's all besides the point ig... Ryo's also much sweeter then I thought she'd be. It's interesting to think that Vivia can always see and hear ghosts. Creates a sort of chicken and egg situation. What came first? His Spectral Projection or his ability to see ghosts. Kinda reminds me of this British drama series called Ghosts - the protag has a near death experience and can see the ghosts haunting her house from then on - so I wonder if something similar happened to Vivia to trigger all this in him. Still... nice to hear a character saying that they rely on protagonists of stories they like to get enjoyment. I think a lot of people can relate to that... :>

Yakou's: ... :,( ... Why would you do that to me? Why??? It was so sad!!! Also they just photoshopped his sprite to have a green coat and no glasses that's so funny to me- Also also his wife's thiccc- 10/10 would also murder for her also tbh. Ok but in all seriousness- why couldn't they name drop her??? I feel so awkward having to give her a made up name in my own au cuz it's like what if they do eventually drop it in the future??? Like come on people, most of the other dlcs had named characters (minus Fubuki's)!!! I adore how Yakou's flashbacks were for other dlcs tho- like that's so fucking adorable. Someone really aught to move the zombies to better living conditions though- like I'm sure they could find somewhere that isn't dilapidated so they could be more comfortable. The zombies obviously have some level of consciousness remaining and I'm sure they'd all appreciate it :(!

Day 9: Dance

a/n: ler!louis, lee!alear — from the lovelytickletoberlist!

i started playing this game again and recently found out that the english vas for m!alear and louis are married irl 🥹 (no m!alear photo bc he's genuinely so ugly lmao)

———

"Sorry, Louis, I'm not.. very good at this."

"Nonsense, Divine One," Louis reassured, an unwavering smile gracing his lips. "For someone that has slumbered for one thousand years, your skills are above average from what I initially expected."

"Um.. thanks? Not sure if you're complimenting me, though," Alear gave a forced laugh, awkwardly scratching the back of his head. "Also, I've already told you there's no need for that 'Divine One' stuff. Just Alear is fine."

"Very well, Alear," the gentle smile never left Louis' face as he spoke, "but I assure you that I'm not just saying these things in jest. I've had to teach my younger brothers and I promise that you're off on a better foot than they ever were."

Alear's ears began to warm up as the knight continued speaking, a lightweight sensation developing at the pit of his stomach while he listened, Louis' words becoming incomprehensible in the best way. There was just something so.. effortless in how this man carried himself, elegant in his composure. Just his presence alone brought comfort to the prince, a fuzzy feeling he couldn't quite explain.

"Now, let's resume our dance lesson," Louis said, snapping Alear out of his slight daze, to which the the prince nodded. "Would you perhaps prefer I instruct you similarly to my younger siblings?"

"Yeah, I think that'd be best." Alear actually wasn't quite so sure, but whatever Louis suggested, he was on board.

"Ah, perfect," Louis gestured with his hands, joining his hands with Alear's. "They're all quite fantastic when it comes to footwork now, so I'm certain you'll learn just as well."

"Mhm, mhm," Alear hummed along, allowing Louis to take the lead, the two moving somewhat in-sync. Though the dance had been repeated several times by now, Alear still found himself struggling with fluid movements, glancing at the ground every now and then to make sure he didn't trip over his own two left feet.

"Uh-uh, remember to keep your eyes and chin up, not at the floor," Louis reminded him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to— ah! Hehehey! Louis!" Alear squealed unexpectedly, a sudden poke to his side forcing him to lose focus.

"You did agree to allow me to use the same teaching methods that I've used with my brothers," Louis laughed light-heartedly, yet never allowing himself to lose rhythm with his movements. "Oh, be careful not to step on your partner's feet."

Another scribble to his waist and Alear found his knees buckling, giggling as Louis' continued to reprimand him for the little mistakes. "I-I cahahan't focus! Louhihihis! Stahahap!"

"If I stop, then how will you learn?" Louis smiled as he crouched to the ground to where Alear had practically fallen into a fit of giggles, the knight's fingers managing to dig into all the sensitive spots. "But don't worry— you'll be the best dancer you'll ever be in no time."

Nightmare Shift hcs and ideas

Because i have spend 2 days focusing on IRL matter way too big to sit down and write properly, but my mind refused to stop with the Nightmare AU. So here are some TNMN headcanons and stuff i will likely can't add to the fanfic but still want to add.

First off i started the Doorman as very neutral, generic character, but i am considering giving them a more constructed identity and personnality.

They're are a they/him, of Greek or Chypriot origin. 23 years old, picked up the job to finance the materials and budget they need to start their dream work of tattoo artist. They would not transform but i still hc their demonic alter ego as a Troll-kind of creature. Name's Nathan nicknamed Nath.

Ships :

Honor to the canon couples.

Roman and Lois are closing their 15 years anniversary, and they are the ones who got Alf and Rafttelynn together... Well, Lois did. Roman knew Alf from work, invited him for dinner once to review some potentially litigous counts. Lois saw him and decided he just HAD to meet Raftty.

Speaking of them. Rafttellyn is Alf's second wife. He lost his first love during war, and Rafttelynn brought him back the joy he had forgotten.

Arnold and Gloria are childhood sweethearts. They can't even tell you how old they were when they first hung out, or when it became romance. They still waited for Gloria to finish her studies and be settled job wise before marrying.

Dr.Afton and Mia met in college. W(aren) got an instant crush on her but he had no idea how to approach her. He just dreamed of Mia from afar until he realised soon she will be done with her education degree and he won't see her again. Cue the most rushed and awkward love confession. Mia found it adorable and accepted to at leasr keep contact. They have been engaged for a year and half now, the doppelganger situation makes things...a bit slow.

Now to the headcanons

Nacha and Francis are lesbian and gay, met in an underground gay club. They quickly became best friends and agreed to marry to protect themselves and avoid family outrages. They may not have romantic feelings but they do care a lot for each others and for Anastacha.

Nacha has a big crush on Elenois, and is trying to subtly figure out if she has a chance of asking her out safely.

Francis is in a relationship with Steven. He took the apartment next to him when it got vacant so they could have their own safe space, and free some room for Nacha to also live her life. Their relation is mostly secret, the only awares are Nacha, Anastacha (open and fair communication) and Mclooy (Steven has no clue his dad knows his sexuality and relation.)

Selenne has started dating Robertsky less than a year ago. She finds him comforting in those weird difficult times. Robertsky isn't sure how he managed to be with a model, but he does love her for far more than her (very) pretty face.

Angus and Izaack are the other gay relationship of the building. They are not as subtle and downlow as they think they are (thanks Lois and Raffty). They also started dating fairly recently after Izaack broke up with his last girlfriend (he is Bi.)

Goblin Destroyer: How the Internet Revived an Obscure Local Band

This is something that suddenly appear in my mind when I was waiting for a public transport near my campus but like ... Stardew Valley's aesthetic looks like they're in the 90s in rural Northern America/Western Europe (though still cmiiw since I don't live in neither of those regions).

So then I thought about Sam's band and the real life band called "Panchiko" where the internet basically rebirth this band. (If you want to know about the band, here's a video)

And I randomly think about some kids somewhere in the SDV-verse came across Sam's band's LP (I'm gonna go with Goblin Destroyer) and asked online forums about it but none got anything so far. Doesn't help the fact that the LP was credited only with their first names which are very very common names. The names in the back of the LP only says Abigail, Sam, and Sebastian with their roles which are drummer, guitarist/vocalist, and keyboardist/synth in that order.

OP then gave more information, like how the label seemed to be from either the late 90s or early 00s and it was obvious that they were from the Republic of Ferngill. Small problem though, Ferngill Republic is not a small place. Sure, it's not a big country, but it's still going to be hard to find the people who contributed to this record, especially since it was decades long. Regardless, this was a step forward. 

I personally think they would not take too long (like Panchiko irl) because of my personal headcanon of Sebastian being chronically online even to his fourties.

The forum was very popular with many tried to remaster their songs or figure out just who they were. So then Sebastian rolled around and was like, "Holy fuck, I can't believe you found a copy of this. Thought they threw them all away in Zuzu City back in '98."

AND PEOPLE WERE SHOCKED AND ASKED IF THIS USER HAS A CLEANER COPY BUT THEN HE WAS LIKE, "lmao I'm the Sebastian credited in the back of the LP. Sadly, no. I do not have the cleaner copy, but I think my husband do keep some in his previous house when we still lived in the Valley."

Obviously, people were skeptical because the internet lies a lot. But they still gave him the benefit of the doubt because this was more information than they previously tried to dig. It was true that Goblin Destroyers were from Ferngill, specifically Zuzu City, and it was correct that they were from the late 90s.

Few months went by without a follow-up so most people just brush him off as hoax because that's what they usually did to lost media, claimed to know and kept it somewhere but unattainable for some reason.

That is, until another user joined the forum and introduced himself as Sebastian's husband who has the cleaner copy back in his old home. The husband was apparently, a very important piece in the band because he was none other than Sam -- another name crossed off the list.

Sam apologized and claimed that it took him longer to find than he expected and to compensate, he and Sebastian did a digital remaster for the LP and will put it to streaming services alongside their previously unreleased tracks.

With the band finally found, some questions arrived. Most of the questions were about Abigail, the drummer of the band, and also about them in general. The only things they knew so far were that Goblin Destroyer was a prog metal band from the late 90s, Ferngill, and that two out of the three members are married to each other.

The two claimed that they had no idea where Abigail was; the last time they saw her was when they still lived in their hometown. Sebastian then mentioned that she joined something called "The Adventurer's Guild", and one of the last things they did together was go to the forest and watch Abigail's improved swordsmanship. That was almost twenty years ago. They just hope that wherever she is, she's alive and well because she was their best friend.

They then ended the forum with pictures of them when they were young and some band photoshoots, needless to say that social media will be filled with their pics for a few months or so because of how attractive they were. The couple also added a recent pic and well, they're still handsome as hell.

It took them a while to finally return as a band; they were not the young adults in a small town who were bored and annoyed with how their parents coddled them anymore. They are middle-aged with a family and jobs, so yeah, it took a while for them to perform again. Eventually, though, they were back as a band. At least a duo for a few months, releasing a new single after twenty years.

Goblin Destroyer did not tour or participate in any music festivals until they were hit by a surprise, Abigail finally returned to the band. She revealed that she's been busy with the guild for over twenty years and is a mentor, so she was so out of touch with the news. She also revealed that she figured out that they went viral through her mentee, who told her about it.

Finally, the band was back in business. This was the dream that Sam had thrown away, and to actually have it tenfold decades later was exhilarating, to say the least.

[docheros]

this is for you @uhhbeans my most beloved

ok so like. originally seán made a game about the egos that was so successfull that a company that makes movies approached him with an offer to make a movie based on his game

BUT

we all know what seán is doing to these characters now, the anomaly found video and the comics are just the tip of the iceberg. so, let's revamp the actor au!!

(backstory, info about the actors and some headcanons under the cut)

before we properly start: seán is friends with a guy named antony; they started to talk when "jacksepticeye" was created, antony used to help him with some of the editing. so, in this universe, antony was one of the editors along with alice

seán always discussed this story with his editors, and antony was the one that really motivated, gave new stories, reasons, showed how he could make it better, and act better as well!! he's an actor too :]

so, when seán (i'm repeating his name too much sorry) started to change the route of the story and said he wanted something more serious, antony (and a team, ofc) helped him develop Anomaly Found. and for all his help and ideas, seán asked his friend to portray anti from now on. and antony couldn't be more honoured

so, anomaly found happens! seán's chase here like irl. and the comics come out, and much more stuff, etc etc. to give the egos an ending, he decides to make it a movie, but since he couldn't like. act as 5 dudes and at the same time help with production, he decided to hire actors!

WITH YOU, THE SEPTIC CREW!!

Elias Schmidt, German, 32, as Henrik Von Schneeplestein!

Ryan White, American, 35, as Chase Brody!

Oliver Williams, British, 39, as Marvin the Magnificent!

Patrick O'Brien, Irish, 35, as JackieBoyMan!

George Cole, British, 43, as Jameson Jackson!

and finally, Antony Moore, British, 40, as AntiSepticEye!

and now, some headcanons of this AU for the soul :]

Seán and Antony were the ones to make the auditions, and they both wanted actors that could bring their experiences and thoughts into the characters

bc of that, Elias' german (but not a doctor, that'd be asking too much), George's mute and Patrick's autistic

Elias is very good at acting as Henrik, but he's not like him in the slightest. he's the youngest of the crew and a big jokester

despite that, he loves Henrik to bits! he's always doing lives and videos like "henrik answers your questions" while they're filming

this is Ryan's first big budget movie, and he's kinda nervous about it

different from Chase, he isn't married and honestly hates alcohool. when asked, he usually says "so is anyone interested in being my stacy? aside from the divorce and well. the horrors"

Elias jokes he's much more like initial Chase (he watched all the videos about the egos, even if Seán said it's not necessary bc a lot changed) and Ryan's much more like fanon Henrik

Patrick and Ryan are the most serious of the crew, it's hard to get a smile out of them. that doesn't mean they don't enjoy the movie or their company, ofc!

Antony's a dad! his son plays as Chase's kid bc it was the only kid that wasn't scared of Anti's makeup (and the antiaverage shippers of this universe enjoy this fact a lot)

Oliver and George are the ones who unintentionally spoil the most

Oliver looovees to talk and read about Marvin shipps. he's feeding the marvelsepticeye shippers very well!

Patrick on the other side isn't very happy in joining his shenanigans lol

George is a modern man, he loves his cellphone and his bluetooth earphones, so acting as Jameson (a man from 1920s) was a bit of a challenge to him, but he loves challenges!

he's very vocal about ableism towards mute people. and also very vocal about jj's sexual life

if they ever went to buzzfeed to promote the movie, Patrick would loooove the puppy interviews and George and Elias would loooove the "[x] reads thirst tweets"

when asked if they knew jacksepticeye,

Elias: ofc, who doesn't? i used to watch his videos all the time! what do you mean he's the one behind this

Ryan: i used to watch a bit when i was younger, we're the same age so it was like hanging out with a friend. what do you mean he's the one behind this

Oliver: ooh, i guess so? my siblings used to watch this dude like, all day. he's the one doing this? neat, i guess

Patrick: of course, everytime i mentioned i'm from Ireland people used to be like "omg jacksepticeye's from there!!!", it kinda annoyed me. he's the director????... he didn't hear me, right?

George, signing: who?

Antony: i heard he's a pain in the ass to work with (cut to Seán telling him to shut the fuck up)

[taegularities]

hey! Rid i hope u r doing good 🫶 . i just thiught since i have shared quite some things with u generally my thoughts ...so i thought why not this one also ...since u r the only author i feel i can interact with without any hesitation though i know there are alot of authors but i prefer ur thoughts about my opinions and things...im not quite able to explain this but yeah uk ..

soo recently i have been reading some fics from this author on 'wt' ...read almost 2 to 3 fics or fanfics to be exact but but but ...i found some problem in those fics ...like usne apni stories ka jo plot tha woh bht hi wierd laga mujhe like ek story ka plot batati hu ...the guy raped the girl ( baadme pta lagta hai ki usne woh drugs ke influence mai kiya tha , oc bhi drunk thi , wich got oc preg , she decide to keep it , oc ko uski shakal yaad nhi thi cuz woh drunk thi aur ladke ki drink kisine spike kardi thi which got him influnce ) future mai woh log milte hai and she after some tym except him even marry him all lovey dovey ....aur ek baat pata lagti hai ki kadke ko bipolar disoders the ...oc se obssesed tha jabse woh usse mila tha since she was 8 ...and got split personality , anger issues the , koi usko control nhi karpata tha jab he has na episode of him ,lekin usne oc ki baat sunli when he was in an episode of him ....

as for the fic; the yandere genre is very popular out there.. the plot you described isn't my cup of tea at all, but there's a surprisingly large number that dig it and it's like 🤷‍♀️ if they enjoy it, then that's just how it is, yk. a lot of writers of yandere and dark themes don't usually stand for such things irl either btw, remember that!! and def stray from these stories if they're not for you <3

[jedi-enthusiast]

Me? Making another Hazbin post on my Star Wars blog? It's more likely than you think.

Tbh I'm probably just gonna post all my fandom stuff on this blog instead of limiting myself to having to post on separate blogs, which means I may or may not change my username, but anyways-

Getting back to the point, I can't believe I'm actually going to make a post defending people for liking Valentino, of all people, and also---apparently---Stanakins and anti-Jedi people, but here I am and here I go!

JUST LET PEOPLE LIKE VILLAINS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!

I just got on TikTok- (which, yeah, always hosts the most rancid discourse, so I'm not exactly surprised) -to see that someone made a video basically saying- "if you like Valentino at all and don't just hate him, then you're bad/crazy/a horrible person/etc." -and like...y'all have got to get past this whole- "liking this fictional thing = excusing it irl" -because it's really fucking weird and it can lead to some very bad places.

This actually ties into two of my Star Wars posts, the one where I explain why I call out most anti-Jedi arguments as antisemitic and the one where I explain why you don't have to justify a villains actions to like them- (I can't find that post, it's too far back on my blog 😭).

-----

For the first one, the overall point of it was that I'm not saying that people who hate the Jedi are horrible people, or that liking someone like Anakin or Dooku or Palpatine makes you a terrible person, but that, firstly, yeah I'm gonna defend the Jedi and get passionate about it when someone comes onto my blog to argue with me about how "they were the REAL bad guys" but also---and what actually pertains to this post---that people are allowed to hate the Jedi and love the villains, so long as they're not perpetuating harmful bigoted rhetoric.

People want to hate the Jedi? People think they were arrogant and should've let people get married? People think they were emotionally stunted and "didn't let people love?"

Fine, whatever, if those ideas make you enjoy Star Wars more, then believe whatever you want!

People say that the Jedi- (who again, are based on Jewish and Buddhist culture) -"deserved their genocide?" People say that they "kidnapped kids?" People say that they "needed to be wiped out by Anakin because they had lost their way" and other such things that are literally taken verbatim from antisemitism 101?

That's where I take issue, because then you're just perpetuating bigoted beliefs about a culture based on the culture those beliefs are literally used against, only it's acceptable because it's popular to do so.

In that post I used the example of the difference between shipping a problematic ship, calling a fictional serial killer "babygirl," and writing about dark topics vs. the "angry black man" stereotype and the "cheating bisexual" stereotype. Something that doesn't cause harm vs. something that does cause harm.

-----

For the second, my point was mainly that people are just allowed to like villains and they shouldn't be judged for that, and the characters shouldn't be changed- (whether in the actual media or in fandom) -to make them "actually a good person" so that fandom purists find it "acceptable" for people to like them.

People don't have to "justify" liking a villain or only like the good palatable characters, and it's ridiculous to expect them to do so.

If someone likes Anakin? Likes Dooku? Maul? Palpatine? Tarkin? Thrawn?

Cool! Great! I'm glad they've found characters that they enjoy and find interesting, that's part of what makes being apart of fandom so fun! And they don't have to justify those characters' actions, just to be "allowed" to like them.

The Jedi don't have to be "the REAL bad guys," the Rebels and Republic don't have to be "just as bad," the Empire doesn't have to be good...people are, in fact, just allowed to like the bad guys and that doesn't make them terrible people.

-----

So yeah, my point here?

Is Valentino an abuser? A manipulative, toxic, asshole? A literal fucking pimp that treats his contractees like shit and takes advantage of them? Is he a heinous person and nothing short of a villain?

Absolutely!

But people are allowed to like his character design, or find his character interesting, or enjoy how he interacts with the other Vees, or whatever people find enjoyable about his character---because liking a fictional character does not equate to excusing their actions.

By all means, if people start saying that Valentino is "a good person actually" or start victim blaming Angel Dust, tear em apart! Have at it!

But, until then, y'all just have to accept that not everyone is going to have the same opinions as you on characters or have "totally pure fandom beliefs." Because perpetuating that sort of purity culture around fandom is how we get people justify villains and victim blaming, because y'all won't just leave people be about liking the bad guys.

Just get over yourselves and don't make me have to explain this shit again, for fuck's sake.

[imaginespazzi]

NIVIIIIII. Chapter 10 was released midday for me and I was doing everything I could to find time to read it. But I decided I wanted to be somewhere alone bc I knew I’d be screaming, crying, and throwing up (all in a good way ofc). But ANYWAYS, chapter 10 review time!

- Angie Davis = girl version of Anthony Davis from the Lakers?? LMAO I just wanna know why you chose this name / wanted to mirror AD 🤣

- P+A flirting in front of their teammates, but then thinking that they’re being secretive about it?? Literally everyone can see y’all eye fucking like tone it down guys 😭😭

- “You know,” Azzi begins softly when it becomes abundantly clear Paige isn’t going to speak first, “I’m okay with the fact that you’ve probably fucked other people. I mean other than the woman you married as well that is.” THIS MADE ME WHEEZE LMAO. It came from left field 😭 their convo back and forth was so THEM. You wrote it so well 😭

- “Hey,” Azzi pouts, “you always did go for younger women. Like me for example.” LOLLLL I have thought about this too and how Azzi is younger than Paige by a year, but Paige always knew what she wanted!

- I really am curious about what the whole Angie Davis debacle is… like besides them hooking up (and thank god they didn’t LMAO), idk how else her and Paige could’ve crossed paths considering that she’s barely entering the W as a 22 year old and Paige is 31 and has been in the league for a while now.

- DREWWWWW??? Oh my GOD I cannot even imagine 20 year old Drew 😭 Azzi saying that he’s so tall, and then him saying that she could’ve been there to see him grow up 😭 that killed me. I am SO excited to see more of the Azzi and Drew dynamic and how much resent Drew has for Azzi, and how quickly (hopefully) that goes away and he starts trusting her again.

- I also am curious about how Drew’s relationship with Paige is as well. I’m assuming it’s still strong, and that Drew doesn’t fault Paige much for the breakup. I think Drew blames Azzi 99% for it, and that Drew himself had a hard time seeing how Paige was after the breakup. Can’t imagine seeing how usually strong your sister is become a broken person bc the love of their life and someone you also trusted just decide to leave. (But I know Azzi has a good reasoning for it, and I can’t wait for her to explain it all!)

- DREW AND STEPHIE?? I’m glad that Drew isn’t jealous of Stephie right now, and actually seems to have a soft spot for her. It’s like Deja vu for him, that’s how Paige and Azzi treated him when he was small. Uncle Drew FTW!

- Also, Drew being in the NBA just makes so much sense. I know he’s a highlight reel!

- FUCKING AMAZING CHAPTER NIVI!! SO SO SO WORTH THE WAIT! You are spectacular and I hope you’re still fully enjoying writing this and that it’s a treat for you as well! Thanks for your service Nivi and for feeding us Pazzi (and Nivi) fans!

- Side note: Paige and Azzi (irl) make me sick… I’m still stuck on that TikTok of them that Paige recently uploaded… We get it, you guys are happy asf together, good for y’all 😭😭 (I’m actually not bitter at all and love them so much and are so happy for them)

Hi my love, I'm so glad you found time to read it and to leave your review <3

- LMAO that was unintentional because I lowkey just picked a name out of thin air but that's so funny so let's pretend that was my reasoning too

- They're so terrible at the secret part of secret relationship I have no idea why they're even trying

- Poor Paige fighting cougar allegations just cause Azzi had to make a point but that interaction was definitely fun to write.

- I'm assuming, just by writing style, that this was your ask and you figured out the Angie Davis connection? If it wasn't, whelp it's the correct explanation and lmao whoops.

- Honestly I have a hard time picturing a 20 year old Drew too (and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out his age in 2033 lol) but it's gonna take him a little bit

- Yeah I don't think Drew particularly mad at Paige, at least not anymore. Especially because his resentment towards Azzi isn't just rooted in how she hurt his sister, but how she hurt him too.

- He's definitely not jealous of Stephie and to be fair it's very hard to be anything but adoring of her. In fact, I think he's actually feeling kind of protective of a child that could also become collateral damage (*nudge nudge*)

- Thank you my love! I do love writing this story no matter how much I whine. Like it's really my baby fr.

- Like Tessa said, they're kinda really disgusting huh?

17x04-Kingdom of the Blind

here's my live blog for 17x04 of cm

caution: Spoilers, mentions of self harm

Who is that lady in the beginning?

A potential victim?

Why does that actress look familiar? I think I recognize her from scream 6

Nvm, I checked IMDB and I was right, it's Liana (aka Quinn Bailey from Scream 6)

Shit, the woman was pretending to be a victim

The woman took her badge

Could she have something to do with gold star?

Ugh, not Emily get taken into the police car

Fuck you Brian

I hate seeing Emily get arrested

Emily in a cell

Ugh, Tyler in Garcia's apartment

Garcia asking Tyler the true questions

Garcia doesn't want to help Tyler can't blame her as he's still doing behind the team's backs and lying

And she has a point that he doesn't listen to her

The phone having an encrypted key

Ugh Emily risking everything

Yeah I feel for Garcia since she didn’t want to do that even if it means now they may be closer to who gold star is

You know it's bad when I feel bad for Evolution Garcia in s17

Matt would not tolerate this shit

Emily cares more about Gold Star when it wouldn't have taken long for her and JJ to talk as she's her friend and needs to be okay

Yeah, Matt would’ve definitely talked to JJ after seeing how she was at the round table

Poor Garcia being forced to help her friend despite the rules they'll break simply cause Gold Star is that important to Emily

Poor Garcia, she is trying to set boundaries and not do anymore bad choices and Emily is only making things worse cause of gold star

Emily's little smirk is cute, if only she didn't have to be so smug and focused on gold star

How is it that Emily is getting on my nerves moreso than Garcia. At least Garcia is trying to be better and learn her mistakes by setting boundaries with Tyler

Luke giving Sydney some pointers before she talks to Elias

JJ also giving Sydney some advice

I want to hug Sydney

The former married couple now seeing each other

It seems there’s being a lot of see for Emily being so focused on gold star and how that will have consequences

You know the acting is good as they're married irl

Wtf Elias

Sydney has a point and she is rightfully upset at Elias for what he has done and put his family into

Holly and Harlow also deserved better

Wtf?! Elias

Elias refusing to say goodbye

Emily won't declare it Gold Star till there's proof

Rossi and Tara working together on the case again, it’s cool they are working together a lot

Same as it means Tara and Rossi being the father and daughter duo and Tara sharing screentime with Rossi

Oh look, it's unsub!Liana again

What is Unsub!Liana doing?

Oh she's inking herself?

I realized how she's the first female unsub introduced in evolution

So she did give herself a tattoo

Why does the tattoos look like eyes?

She's smirking, so she wanted the victim found

Garcia trying to decrypt and decode the phone and failing

Not Tyler overhearing Garcia lashing out inside her office and possibly breaking stuff

Jesus Christ, she broke her keyboard

Tyler's reaction to the broken keyboard

"How's it going?" Really Tyler? Do you want Garcia to answer that

Garcia needing Tyler's help

And then her trapping him in he server room

Not her telling him that there's electromagnetic radiation and how prolonged exposure will make him sterile

Tyler laughing awkwardly and not knowing if Garcia was joking or not

JJ and Luke comforting the girls as they're about to go see their father

Harlow is smiling?

Not Harlow hugging Elias

Holly is understandably scared

Sydney being a protective mama bear

Rossi and Tara at the crime scene

So the lady used her tattoo needle to gorge the sheriff's eyes out?

Unsub!Liana is hunting them

Not ghost!Elias taunting Rossi at the thought that he can convince his family to drop their testimonies

Elias also telling Rossi to look at him but he's interrupted by Tara

Tara saying how the unsub is a woman and she's right as it's the lady from the beginning

Hopefully there's a name for them as I don't wanna keep referring to her as female unsub

So more women have tattoos than men

Tara telling Rossi how they need to tell Emily that the unsub in this case is not gold star as gold star is a male

Emily won't take it well

Seriously Brian

Elias possibly passing his serial killer traits to Holly as she's suffering from self harm and sneaking a box cutter past guards

Yeah Elias definitely seems shaken by that especially as he probably tho…

Elias keeping those traits a secret was all for nothing and now he and Holly are facing the consequences

I hate how there's a possibility of Holly becoming an unsub after this which makes her life even more tragic

Poor Sydney and Harlow

Holly definitely reminded JJ of Roslyn cause of the self harm and the fallout with her dad

Luke being the one taunting Elias after that

Elias asking Luke to help Holly as he won't let her become like him, but will they? Will Holly let them? Is the damage already done?

JJ trying to help Holly

Holly thinking Sydney would stop crying and be free from Elias if she killed him but there's still consequences for that

Damien working with Jade explains why the BAU assumed gold star was a male, but it's multiple unsubs and one of them being a female

So there was a reason why the casting for Jade was a secret despite Liana being well known as her character is one of the main villains

So each member of the strike team had an assignment for a specific target and Aidan and Jade being some of them. I'm assuming Damien is also another target hence why he killed the other members in the first episode

Seeing Tyler sitting down between Luke and JJ is hilarious especially as his hair is styled like Matt's and wearing an outfit similar to his in 12x13

"Five members, five points of the star" well played and Tyler sounded badass saying that

The members are all trauma bonded at Stuart House

Sadly they still don't know who started the gold star program nor who funded the escrow account

Tyler telling the team that Gasper told him that gold star wasn't a rogue government operation. So there is hope that a storyline like that could be used for when Matt returns

It seems like five since there’s five members of the strike team that targeted the members. Since three are accounted, there seems to be two left

So a private contractor runs the gold star program

Okay so the other two remaining members are named Pete and Dana

Damien taking most of the kills and Jade keeping the badges as trophies

So the members of gold star plan to reunite together. Well the remaining four since Aidan is dead and their spree won't be done even after the strike team members are dead

It seems like Jade is the true leader and Damien is more of the main muscle of the gold star program, sorry Emily

JJ, Luke and Tyler finishing each other's sentences

Damien and Jade don't seem like the type to be so easily fooled like that considering their victims are guys in law enforcement and ex military

So the members of gold star plan to reunite together. Well the remaining members

Yeah it seems like they are out for revenge because of the trauma they went through
