ok ill admit that like, the only mario games ive played was like super mario brothers and mario cart 8 i think.
But maybe the difference between mario games and luigi games sort of represents the differences in their worldview?? like mario is your classic protagonist full of confidence and persistence and maybe a little faith in the innate goodness of humanity. his games are cheerful and reflective of his determination to find joy in any circumstance. there are people who try and help him along the way bc of course there are!! don't the majority want good to triumph over evil? his games usually end cleanly/neatly as mario rolls with the punches in life, refusing to hold onto the bad.
Luigi is often characterized by his fear. The incessant anxiety he presents in almost every side role. Luigi's games reflect that way of thinking and are indicative of the way he sees himself in life. Luigi is boxed in and can only take certain paths (e.g. the hallways and doors, as opposed to the more open style in mario-centric games) which is reminiscent of the way anxiety will lock you into "acceptable" actions and hamper lateral thinking, because surely that isn't what you're supposed to do?
And speaking of "...heavy piece of machinery tied to your back, rendering you unable to climb or jump." doesn't this remind you of the intrusive thoughts that chip down on your self-esteem or make everything seem dangerous? In fact a heavy burden limiting mobility is a very good metaphor for the mental strain and effects of anxiety. Also with anxiety you kind of can't let yourself expect people to help/care about you? You may think that they probably will, and logically they should, but mentally you have to hold yourself back from expecting them to because wouldn't that be presumptuous? this goes with the irrational worry that people will react really poorly to innocuous things or requests for help. You never believe they actually would respond like that, but you keep thinking about it. This is shown in how most luigi game characters want you dead (the worst scenario your brain makes up for people), are ambivalent (thinking that people have no real reason to help you), or a dog that doesn't understand what you're going through (those neurotypical people who always give incredibly useless advice and just don't understand what it's like to work differently than other people).
uhhh in short mario/luigi games represent the personality & worldview of the respective characters. Also luigi has anxiety.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mario games: The world is grand and open, colorful and friendly! There are plenty of dangers, but there are also kindly residents all around willing to give you a word of advice or encouragement. You are light and springy, filled to the brim with joy and enthusiasm! There is a job to do, but the path on the way is a veritable playground. The horizon is the limit and the world is your oyster.
Luigi games: You're forced into tiny rooms and narrow hallways where everything is dark and ominous. The claustrophobia of your surroundings is emphasized by the heavy piece of machinery tied to your back, rendering you unable to climb or jump. The best you can do is run, and run you will, because everything wants you dead except for a morally grey old scientist who cares more about research than survival, and a ghost dog who doesn't even comprehend how much danger you're in. Good luck, fucker.

its ridiculous how full the internet is of spoilt brats who seem like theyve literally never been outside and interacted with another person in their life. definitely they dont have the most basic socialisation to actually be able to function in society. its like you think what? also i hate the sort of rich brats with liqidatable assets. what do you mean your under your mid 20s and yet you own a car? unironically these sort of people ought to be institutionalised
#its hard to know one from the other on here#the stupidest thing is the thing that made me write this post was someone stating 3 glaringly ridiculous things about#rail stations in quick succession#like yeah its just details theyre not important who cares#often i dont notice details either actually its mostly being alone that makes me#but still it was ridiculous its like every normal person knows that surely like how can you have never taken a train in your life#alright now im sounding like the posh spoilt brat like ooh youve never done this how common you must be you cant even afford a train#but seriously like the ammount of people on this website the majority of people arent over 30 the amount of people#who just openly and crassly admit to having cars#like yeah good for ypu your stupid puramid scheme owning parents bought you a car with their spare cash the minute you finished school#but please dont act like thats a normal way of living and youre not a total freak#the people who worked since their early teens just to save up money to buy a car are even worse like what is wrong with you#like how can you have never taken a train in your life what the fuck#honestly i think this post is one of my stupidest ive got no idea what im actually complaining about#or who it is that i actually find annoying#just everyone really#like im pretty sure i made up half the things im complaining about#like the person that made me make it was probably just not paying attention its such a minor thing#and then i just started complaining about posh people with cars cause i dont like them#i nean my mum literally has a car but its fine for people over like 40 thats normal then and actually quite convientent#especially cause im not the one paying#anyway about my other complain train stations are such a basic part of life like supermarkets and showers its like you dont really notice#but its annoying when someone makes you notice cause they said something ridiculous even if its just for the sake of saying something at al

while visiting the doctor he asks you if you’d like to participate in highly important medical research for a bit of extra cash, he says they’ll pay five thousand bucks at the end of the research and all you have to do is “run a few standard tests and stay a couple of nights at a research facility”
you agree, i mean he said it was important and the fact they are paying you is a nice added bonus, what could be so bad about a couple of nights in a medical research facility?
the next day you arrive at the address given to you, an empty secluded carpark, with a black SUV parked in the middle. you get out expecting maybe a doctor or a scientist to happily greet you, they did say it was highly important, surely this is normal right? instead four suited men emerge from the doors of the vehicle and grab you roughly by the arms and legs carrying you into the car, kicking and struggling you notice one reach into his pocket, pull out a small cloth and push it close against your face. you only remember the sweet smell as you blackout.
florescent white light invades your vision when you re awake. groggy, you try to stretch your arms when you realise you cant move them, infact, you cant move anything from your neck down. you look down to see you are strapped down on a padded table, arms pinned to your sides, legs spread apart, naked and vulnerable. you were so confused, what the hell was going on?
you see a man, a clean looking older man wearing a white lab coat enters the room holding a clipboard and a pen and takes a seat next to you in a chair just out of your vision. you try to speak, to ask him what was going on but your words are muffled and barely audible, in your mouth was a small gag. after a couple of minutes hearing him writing on a his clipboard you notice a wet squelching sound approaching you, as it got to where you were strapped on the table you heard the man speak. “time is 22:43, first compatibility test starts now”
you felt multiple long slimy tentacles wrap round your already restrained thighs, more made their way onto your chest circling your breasts and eventually teasing your nipples, they began by gently prodding them, tapping and nudging your nipples before placing one of their suckers on each of them. this can’t be happening. you feel your clit twitch. no this- this is so wrong, you didn’t sign up for this, why was this happening to you? what was this thing? and why….why was it making you wet?
you didn’t get the chance to be confused for much longer, feeling another slimy appendage make its way up your legs, it makes its way up your thigh and then stops, right infront of your cunt. slowly it rubs itself up and down your slit, mixing its slime with your wetness before making is way to your clit. again it prods, pokes and taps at the bud between your legs. you feel yourself getting wetter and wetter, you really dont want to be turned on by this but something about the way the tentacle on has now switched to suckling gently on your clit has you gushing.
“the subject responds incredibly well to stimulation provided by the first creature” the man speaks calmly, you cant stop your eyes from rolling in the back of your head, every single movement from the appendages had you twitching. its like they new exactly how and where to touch you.
you felt another appendage press at the entrance to your cunt. this one was thicker than the rest, the tip pushes into your hole, and even the first few inches are a stretch. it pushes further and further in stretching your little tight hole nice and wide for it. you cum just from the stretch alone, and the extra stimulation on the rest of your body. whatever this creature is, it does not care that your pussy has never taken anything this big before, it starts brutally shifting in and out of your stretched hole, rubbing up every wall again and again and again. you start to see stars, the overstimulation way too much for your poor body to handle.
and right when you think your on the edge, about to blackout. it stops and pushes deep down, up against your cervix. you feel its hot sticky fluid invade your womb while it twitches up against your walls. all the other appendages stop stimulating your nipples and clit, hearing them slither off and away from the table. you lie and wait, surely it was done secreting whatever fluid has just entered you and will pull out? a couple of minutes turn into ten maybe fifteen, the only sound you could hear being the mans pen on his paper.
again you hear the man speak “test will resume in 3 days, subject and creature will stay linked until birthing”
you start to cry as you hear him leave, realising you’re stuck there. overstimulated cunt stuffed to the brim with alien sperm, and a huge tentacle between your legs to keep you company till the birth of its offspring. lets hope it doesn’t get bored and play with that swollen little bud of yours.

Tumblr media
SPENT THE ENTIRETY OF THE GAME IN JAIL
no matter what they did, no matter how many times they wished to try, they always landed in jail. even when he’s finally free after seven knows many turns, he’ll pick up a card, and it says go to jail. jeez, what did he do?! this game sucks, i don’t see the appeal. is he so much of a bad guy the game wants to keep him locked up forever? its hurting his feelings. why do you want to keep playing?? can he just quit? he doesn’t wanna play anymore. fine. he’ll keep playing. just make sure you win or else you’ll get an earful..
spoiler alert: you lose and now he’s disappointed
riddle, deuce, jack, malleus, silver
LAUGHS LIKE AN EVIL VILLAIN WHEN SOMEONE LANDS ON THEIR PROPERTY
oh dear, how poor and unfortunate are you? such a shame really. oh well! fork over the cash, prefect! it’s nothing personal, just a simple game of monopoly. you can spare a couple hundreds, couldn’t you? surely you weren’t planning on winning, right? all is fair in love and war they say! he’ll make it up to you later, but it’s just better to pay— what’s that? no money? BANKRUPT? how sad. you snooze ya lose. better luck next time, you were no match to begin with. he’ll take what’s left, thanks! much appreciated 🫶🫶
he’s just competitive he’s sorry please don’t hit him with the board please— NONO WAIT—
ace, ruggie, azul, jade, jamil, epel, idia, lilia, grim
IS HOARDING ALL THE LITTLE HOUSES
they’re so cute! not very detailed, but he can make a nice village out of them! oh. you need them for the game? can’t you use.. something else? please let him keep them. if you want them back you’ll have to pry them from his cold dead hands. here, use these thumbtacks! they basically look like houses! why’s he so attached to the tiny plastic primary colored houses from this game? unsure, but he likes em. hands off <3
if you play on the floor watch your step
deuce, cater, floyd, kalim, rook, sebek, grim
USING THEIR WAD OF MONOPOLY MONEY AS A FAN
at first, this game seemed.. childish. however, who is he to say no to victory? just look at all the currency he holds in the palm of his hand, practically basking in wealth. tsk, tsk, wipe that pouty face off of your face prefect. he’s just playing the game after all. not his fault you can’t save your money. my, my, it’s getting hot! excuse him as he fans himself off with his hundred dollar bills. he would share if he can, but it looks like his hands are full. needless to say, he is suffering from success over here.
ace, cater, leona, ruggie, azul, jade, floyd, jamil, vil, epel, idia, ortho, lilia, grim (they all on my list. better watch themself)
BRINGS UP PERSONAL SHIT DURING AN ARGUMENT OVER PROPERTY
will bring up moments from each others past mid-argument cause they’re just petty like that. don’t look at him like that! not his fault you decided to ramble about your middle school days— HEY. DONT YOU DARE BRING UP HIS BABY PHOTOS. NO. NOT THE PHOTO. NONONONONONONONONO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
pieces are in fact flung to the ground
ace, leona, azul, epel, sebek, grim
ABOUT TO FLIP THE BOARD
barely holding it together. he is this close to just grabbing the board and throwing it to the ground. he wants to tear up the currency and toss it down the paper shredder while screaming his lungs out. this game is absolutely SHIT. don’t ever bring it in his sights again, he will lose it.
riddle, jamil (depends), epel, sebek, grim
TRYING TO PLAY NORMALLY
it’s just a game guys, relax. sure, it’s not ideal, but let’s not try stabbing each other over a simple game of dice and money? seriously, it’s not that deep. as long as you’re playing together, he’s having a fun time. that’s all that really matters to him in the end! you’re having fun, he’s having fun, it’s a win-win. while chaos ensues, he’s pretty good at being levelheaded and the voice of reason so hopefully it doesn’t blow up in his face.
trey, jack, silver
Tumblr media
A/N: monopoly almost got my cousin divorced fun game 10/10 would play again. so many fics in the draft hopefully they come out soon 🧌🧌🧌

Lookism characters babysitting a baby hc!
✨ :P
Jonggun, Goo Kim and James Lee (young)
🕶️Jonggun🕶️
Tumblr media
🚬 Gun wouldn’t do it out of his own, it’s either because he wants the money or because Charles asked him to. The only child he’ll watch/ take care of willingly is Yenna.
🚬 Gun needs to know it advance if he will babysit a child, that way he will not smoke for a few days to really ���cleanse’ his body. Aka making sure his breath and clothes dont stink like cigarettes
🚬 He’s not a type that baby talks. He’ll talk normally and have a regular conversation with the baby, yet seems to understand what they are saying, even the parents are amazed.
🚬 ‘baby, do you think speed beats brute strength in a fight?’ *baby gurgling* ‘yes, me too, i think they are both good in their own way. What a smart baby you are’
🚬 Usually when he’s outside or needs to run arrands with the baby he has those baby carriers. He’ll put the baby in it and usually keep one hand on their head to make sure they don’t bump their head and to show affection.
🚬 sometimes he lets them climb onto him if they’re in crawling stage. He’ll make sure that they won’t be harmed and his UI helps with reflexes so he’ll catch them for sure. He’s probably not moving an inch when they do so too.
🚬 even though he doesn’t show much affection nor baby talks, he finds them absolutely adorable. He likes those chonky cheeks and often caresses the baby on their cheek. Ofcourse he washes his hands and uses hand sanitizer.
🚬 sometimes when he takes off his sunglasses the baby takes interests in it and reaches out for it. For gun its no problem since the baby is then occupied doing something else, meaning he doesn’t have to entertain them as they are doing it themselves. And he probably has 100 other sunglasses at home.
🚬 jonggun likes quiet babies or very cheerful babies. He experienced lots with different kind of reactions, for example the babies crying when they see his eyes, or parents whispering that he looks demonic. Which he doesn’t care about tbh
🚬 the best thing about it is his paycheck. I feel like jonggun would want a slight high pay for taking care of the baby. But it has its positive side as he’s very good with the baby depending in terms of safety and taking care of them.
🚬 his opinions on changing their nappy is divided. When the baby lets him do his thing he’d be pretty chill with it. But when they start rolling around and crawling away he had to take a very big sigh. And he’ll probably charge you for that.
💸Goo kim💸
Tumblr media
💳He would actually be 50/50 babysitting but do it regularly as a side job from his main job, and yes it’ll probably be illegal cause he 100% wants it in cash and won’t pay taxes for it.
💳 He thinks all babies are cute, pinches their cheeks, cradles them, holds them in the air, baby talks. This man would become a nanny if he could, but ofcourse it’s all for the money🤑
💳 Goo isn’t a fan of nappy changing, he dislikes it yet knows its an important part of his job. Although it’s rough sometimes. Especially when he deals with it outside for example or he finds himself in a difficult situation where he cant change them, he always manages to do it eventually
💳 ‘you ’re so cute baby! Do you like me? Do you think i’m nice?’ *baby noises* ‘aww you do, see this man named Jonggun doesn’t think so. He’s being ridiculous right?’ *baby noise* ‘yes, next time i’ll steal all his Prada bags.’
💳 He will take them out for walks and actually carry them despite having a baby carrier clasped on his chest. He will go to the park, do some shopping. Do some cooking. Do some talking. Just everything to entertain the baby.
💳 probably buys the baby things if they grab something in the store or seem to stare at something. If it keeps them entertained its all the better. And it’s not expensive either so he doesn’t complain much about it.
💳 dresses the baby in cute outfits. Usually he lays all the outfits on the floor and lets the baby crawl to which on the like, he does it with everything. Jumpers, shirts, bows, shoes, skirts, dresses. Anything.
💳 he’ll have beef with the parents for buying baby stuff and not following the diet and basically taking them anywhere. Some will let him do it again and others won’t.
💳 even if he thinks babies are cute. He HATES the sound of them crying. He’ll panic, get exhausted, try to get them to stop but still fail and then just sit there rethinking his life.
💳 He and Jonggun would lowkey meet up when both of them are babysitting. And let the babies play with each other while they talk about various things.
💳 despite Goo having money and being able to afford high end baby foods. He prefers to cook or blend and make his own. Ofcourse making sure the baby isn’t allergic to anything, he’ll usually make soup or porridge for the baby and decorate it so that they won’t refuse to eat it.
🍬James Lee🍬
Tumblr media
🍭 Man is poor okay, even if he works under Charles blud was still in his highschool student phase so he was probably broke asf and needed money. And no he aint watching crystal.
🍭 He, like Goo, also thinks babies are cute and prefers them over toddlers. That’s because toddlers can be very spoiled or run away and blud does NOT have the energy for it.
🍭 He likes the smell of baby powder. So when he has to powder the baby he uses it too. He sniffs baby powder instead of drugs.
🍭 james feels really protective for the babies he’s sitting. He think’s they’re super tiny and fragile what makes his heart melt but also feel very protective from his instinct.
🍭 when he holds the baby he lets them munch on his muscles if they’re teething. He doesn’t rly mind and as long as they’re not in pain he just thinks it’s fine.
🍭 people mistake him as being a single teenage dad most of the time. ‘Hey did you see the dude with the red hair and the baby?’ ‘Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if he has a kid, he’s probably bussing it down’ he was in fact, not bussing it down.
🍭 he’ll use the baby to practice his tests. As in he’ll explain what he had to learn to the baby and practice his presentations. The baby usually claps after he’s done or giggles what makes him super happy
🍭 He’ll also try to teach the baby how to speak and walk depending on how old they are, he’ll help with their development and speaks with them. He often curses because well he’s a teen, but tries his best not to use it in front of the baby
🍭 the most reliable out of all the 3 tbh. He’s more a big brother type to the baby than a nanny/ care taker. He’ll come see the baby if he had time. Or for example says hi if he sees them at the park with their parents.
🍭 He’s not the type to use a baby carrier but rather a stroller cause he doesn’t have to carry the baby all the time and can let them sit/ lay in it. Especially when they get sleepy. He likes strolling outside with the baby and going to the park/ beach
🍭 baby will be home safe and happy if James is the one who babysat. And he’s 100% asked to baby sit again. Which made him popular but because he has school he only had standard ppl he’ll sit for.

hi!! i love your fics 💞
i was wondering if you could made a yandere platonic morales family fic with a reader who's been sneaking out to go on dates?
(of course you don't have to make this if you don't want to)
(Yas 100%)
Tumblr media
Late Friday afternoon you looked over yourself in the mirror tucked away in your room. You were proud of your look and especially proud of youre makeup, you looked good and were excited for your date with Helia he was tall, broad and sweet, and said he would pay!
You packed your bag, juts with a phone, keys, perfume and emergency charger and headed for your front door, rushing past your Dad Aaron, and your cousin Miles.
Aaron: "Ay, where you going?"
Y/n: "On a date?"
Miles: "With who?"
Y/n: "Helia, I told you"
Aaron: "I don't remember you telling me"
Y/n: "I'm certain I did" And you had, like 3 times. You showed him a picture of him, gave him Helia's number and told him where you were going and he had said yes.
Aaron: "Why you dressed like that?"
Y/n: "Its a date?"
Miles: "have I met him?"
Y/n: "No I don't think so"
Aaron: "have I met him?"
Y/n: "No but I gave you his number, and showed you pictures!"
Both Miles and Aaron raised a brow at you.
Aaron: "You can't go out with a boy I haven't met in a dress like that"
Y/n: "Are you serious ?"
Aaron: "Do I not sound serious?"
Y/n: "it is a long length body con!" You gestured to your covered legs
Miles: "How do you know he won't try something?"
Y/n: "baecuse he's not like that, he's nice"
Miles: "uh huh" He said, rasing an eye brow/
Aaron: "I don't remember buying you that dress"
Y/n: "Yeah you didn't, I did"
Aaron: "And with who's money?"
Y/n: "My money?"
Aaron: "Why you wasting your money on clothes? You already have to many"
Y/n: "I'm 17, Dad. Clothes is what you buy when you have cash"
Miles: "Where you getting money from?" He asked susbiusly as if maybe you were stealing.
Y/n: "My weekend job? The one you pick me up from beacuse your so damm paranoid!"
Miles: "I don't see anything wrong with wanting you to be safe"
Y/n: "Miles, my coworkers think youre a stalker"
Miles: "Did you tell them I'm your cousin?"
Y/n: "Yeah, that just made it worse"
Aaron: "maybe Mile's could come with you on your little date"
...
Y/n: "Are you serious?"
Miles: "Yeah why not?"
Y/n: "Miles, It Is A DATE, I can't have my cousin just hanging round!"
Miles: "I could vet him out, make sure he's safe"
Y/n: "Miles, not every man on the earth wants to hurt me"
Miles: "yeah but they might"
Y/n: "Helia is a good guy, I know him through Flora, he's like a passafist of something"
Aaron: "or something?"
Miles: "So you don't actually know him?"
Aaron: "ummmhmm" He hummed in agreement.
Y/n: "He's friends with Flora, you really think Flora is the type to hang out with bad men? Ive' hanged out with him before with others, Ive slept over with him at Floras house and he's never tried anythin-"
Aaron: "You sleeping at other's peoples houses behind my back?"
Y/n: "No, Its not like that, you knew where I was!"
Miles: "what do you mean you slept over with him?"
Aaron: "I didn't know there were boys over though, did I?"
Y/n: "Nothing bad! Just he'd sleep in the same room and never tried anything!"
Miles: "I still think maybe I should go aswell"
Aaron: "I agree"
Y/n: "Miles' why can't you just be a normal cousin?"
Miles: "If you act right maybe I'll consider it"
Y/n: "So you agree it's weird? That you follow me, stalk my friends, my work and socials like a mad man"
Aaron: "Y/n that's your cousin, he's just trying to look out for you"
Y/n: "And it's not even just him anymore! Auntie Rio is obsessed with my sex life, that I don't even have by the way, always trying to scare me, giving me condoms I DONT NEED or trying to dress me, going through my wardrope and throwing out clothes she dosen't like!! like a normal auntie, right?"
Aaron: "Calm down Y/n"
Y/n: "And Uncle Jeff, sending him, a POLICE OFFIECER to run after me when I'm not even doing anything wrong, searching my fucking bag an-"
Aaron: "Enough!"
...
Aaron rose form the couch, your father looming over you.
Aaron: "Get to you room"
Y/n: "No, I'm going out"
Now Aaron, or Miles wasn't above physically stopping you, but they wanted to see your resolve.
Aaron: "If you leave now, you won't be welcome back in"
Y/n: "what?"
Aaron: "Go on and stay at one of your little friends houses"
Miles: "Or this Helia guy"
...
Y/n: "Okay"
Aaron: "I'm serious Y/n"
and with out saying another word, you simply left. And once the door shut behind you, Aaron was genuinley stunnded.
Miles: "Oh my god she left"
Aaron inhaled slowley, before sitting back down on the couch and inviting Miles to do the same.
Miles: "Should...Should I go after her?"
Aaron: "nah man, let her do her thing"
Hours since then had passed, at at this point Aaron assumed that you would come back, apologise, have your phone and laptop taken away and not allowed to leave the house for a few days, but you hadn't.
It was now 23:33 And Aaron was begging to freak, pacing back on fourth calling you over and over to no avail, while Miles eletred the family chat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unknown to you, Miles actually had a Notes page dedicated too the names, birthdays and addresses of all your main friends.
Musa Harada, sep 11th 2005, Malcoms Road 119th street.
Tecna Petrov, Sep 17th 2005, Opens Road, 100th street.
Ayesha Layla Andros, August 9th,2005 Greenway road, 88th street.
Flora James Rosie Hernandez, Oct 9th,2005, Red Reid Road, 33rd street.
Stella Marks Solaria, July 8th, 2005, Solarian Estate, Celetail's field.
Bloom Smith Jamie, September 11th 2005, Red Reid Road, 33rd street.
You know, normal cousin things.
Meanwhile, you and Helia were having a picnic date, he had prepared a lovley spread of tiny sandwhiches and fruit, along with a bottle of wine, was it underage drinking? yes but really who cared. Certainley no one in this park.
Helia: "You look really nice by the way"
Y/n: "Thank you, you too but i'm sorry in late, My dad had a thing"
Helia: "Oh, Is everything okay?"
Y/n: "Oh yeah, totally!"
It's 1000% not. Once this date ends, what are you going to do, where are you going to go? You half exepected your stuff to be in boxes once you got back, and the front door locked, and if he did let you in, he would take your phone, your laptop, your sketch books, have your Auntie Rio go through your wardrobe to throw away all your nice clothing, put bars on your windows put a outdoor outside lock on your door and whenever you would be allowed outside, it would only ever be with Miles, leaning over you, following you round shops and choosing wether if you stopped to talk to friends.
So you began to ponder the idea of staying at a friends house for a few days, though that may just make it worse for a few days, avoiding your family for days at a time would only make them more upest.
Who would you stay at? Musa's home wasn't really safe, Ayesha's Mom wouldn't let you stay, Flora's house was ran by her loud annoying siblings that she hated, but maybe you could stay with Tecna? Her parents were nice and they had a guest bedroom.
Meanwhile, Jeff was driving over to Flora's house, and once he finally pulled up outside, he knocked on her front door to be greeted by her Mom.
Mrs Hernandez: "Oh! Hello officer, How can I help?"
He huffed in the hallway, consuming the doorway.
Jeff: "Hello Mrs Hernandez, I was wonder if your daughter, Flora was here?"
Mrs Hernandez: "FLORA, THRES A MAN HERE TO SEE YOU" She basically screamed into the house, drawing her down the stairs case to see Mr Morales.
They didn't know each other well, but initanlly the Morales side liked her as she was the only one of your friends that spoke Spanish, butt Flora knew why Mr Morales was here, posing all normal like a normal officer.
Flora: "Hey...Mr Morales"
Mrs Hernandez: "You know this man?" She whispred to her daughter.
Flora: "it's Y/n uncle"
Mrs Hernandez: "Oh..."
Jeff gestured for Flora to follow him into the living room which he welcomed himself into, sitting down on the blue crush velvet sofa, Flora sat infront of him.
Jeff: "So, Flora..."
Flora: "Yeah..?"
Jeff: "Have you heard about Y/n?"
Flora: "Uhhh, nooo?" She knew what this was, she had heard the storys of your cousin breaking into Blooms house to drag you out late into the night, or your Uncle putting out APB's just for you, or your Dad simply not letting you out the house a few days at a time.
Jeff: "She's had another break down, and ran out the house...with a boy"
Flora: "oh..." She also knew that whenever your family would band together to find you, they would tell friends you were 'having a break down' or a 'crisis of mental health'.
Flora: "I'm sorry but is this police, or you?"
Jeff: "Excuse me?"
Flora: "Are the police, or are you looking for Y/n?"
Jeff: "Listen Flora, I don't want to create problems for you or your family" He said, leaning over the table between them.
Jeff: "But I just wont to know where she's off too...with this boy Helia"
...
...
Now Flora didn't want to rat you out, but she also didn't want problems with your family...
Flora: "Helia is a good guy Mr Morales"
...
Jeff: "We just want to know she's safe Flora"
Flora: "He said he'd take her to the east park"
Just as she said, Jeff sweeped out the house and simply left .
getting in his crusier, he drove off to the east park to go on walk about for you, he thought about what he would say to you once he got you back in cruiser, lecturing you, maybe even the boy, Helia too in order scare him off.
Whilts he was driving in the direction of East, you were ringing Tecna.
Tecna
ring
ring
Tecna: "hey"
Y/n: "Hey, its me, do you mind if I come over for a few nights?"
Tecna: "Can I ask why?"
Y/n: "My Dad's back on his bullhshit"
Tecna: "Ah, I see"
Y/n: "So, do you mind if I come over?"
Tecna: "I'm sorry I'm not at home right, but I'll be back tmorrow, you can come them I'm sure"
Y/n: "Ah, okay I understand"
Tecna: "I'm sorry"
Y/n: "Don't worry about it"
You hang up, what are you going to do for tonight? You can't go back, you'll he hulled to your room and trapped there if you do.
Helia: "Is everything okay?"
Y/n: "Not really, I'm a bit stuck"
Helia: "What do you mean?"
Y/n: "I can't go home tonight, I need somewhere to stay"
Helia: "What's wrong with home?"
Y/n: "My Dad's got problems, I don't really know"
Helia put his hand's round your waist.
Helia: "You could stay with me for the night?"
...
Y/n: "Sure"
So you And Helia began to walk out the park, on the way to his house while across the park, your Uncle Jeff was scoping the area, he called Miles:
ring
ring
Miles: "hey, You good?"
Jeff: "Come round The East Park, She's round here"
Miles: "M'kay, coming"
And so Miles entered The East Park from the exit, that unfortunaltley you and Helia were heading for concurrently.
Meanwhile Your Dad, Aaron was pondering on the couch what to do with you once your brought home, while Rio was making Coffee in his kitchen.
Rio: "I keep telling you Aaron, Y/n may be a clever girl but she need's more supervision, I mean she go's out the house for days at a time to sleepovers, or sneeks out for parties and come back the next day hang over!"
Aaron: "Yeah I know but...What else Can I do to watch her? Like I already go through her phone every few days or so, and her laptop but she's real sneeking now, I look under her bed, through her closet just to find nothing"
Rio: "She's just hiding it from you...I used to be a teenage girl, let me see?"
Aaron: "Be my guest" He gestured to your room, Rio swiftly entered your room, leaving the door open as she began to rummage through your stuff, after about twenty minutes she had found a diary, a bear full of cash and a book full of phone numbers.
Aaron: "oh..."
Rio: "Hasn't been that long since I was young"
Aaron: "Why the bear full of cash?"
Rio: "Probablly emergncy money for what ever she's doing when she runs out"
Aaron: "uh huh"
Rio: "You need to do something about that door"
Aaron: "what do you mean?"
Rio: "Like, maybe take it off the hinges for a few months, show her your in charge"
Aaron: "Bit much"
Rio: "No! She's sneaking out, seeing boys, drinking! You must stop this while you can!"
Maybe she was right, Aaron thought.
So he went to collect his tool kit, where he began to unscrew the door from its hinges one by one, leaving it bare.
Whilts you and Helia where beginning to approach the exit gate, you saw someone familiar in the distance, looking down at his phone while walking in your direction, not noticing you...Its Miles.
Oh shit
You grab onto Helias arm.
Y/n: "How about we go on a de tour?" You giggle nerveoulsy, pulling him out into the bushes.
Helia: "hehe, is everything okay?"
Y/n: "Oh yeah! Just want to see more of the trees" What a batter way of saying 'my family is mad and are hunting me!'
Helia: "...okay?"
And so you and Helia, poor Helia who didn't understand what the hell was happening began to walk back deep into the wooded area of the woods.
Miles called his Dad.
calling Dad.
ring
ring
Jeff: "Hey"
Miles: "Hey, I'm entering the park, where are you?"
Jeff: "Near the fountain, Its where most the teens hang out"
Miles:" okay, So I'll-"
Jeff: "Wait, wait hold on"
Miles: "Okay?"
Jeff had stoptted you, just for a second walking through the bushes, with a guy, tall lanky fellow with long black hair, following you.
Jeff: " I think I see them"
Miles: "Y/n?"
Jeff: "Yeah...with the guy"
Miles: "Near the fountain?"
Jeff: "Yeah...in the bushes"
Miles: "I'll be right there"
Miles said hanging up, and sprinting off into the wooded area inorder to find you.
And in the distance, he saw you in that black dress you left in, and you heard him coming, you heard his footsteps, you saw him rushing over.
Miles: "AY, Y/n!!"
Fuck Fuck Fuck
you turned to Helia.
Y/n: "Start running"
Helia: "What?"
Y/n: "Run!"
You screamed begging to take off into a sprit, not getting all that far in that damm dress, as Helia was already so far ahead of you, looking back at you trying to get you to keep up and you heard the yelling again,
Miles: "Y/N!!"
Up ahead, you heard another yell, It was Helia, having been grabbed by your Uncle, Jeff taking him down.
You felt Miles hand grab your forearm while running and pull your back into him.
Miles: "Gotcha"
Y/n: "get the hell off me!"
Miles: " Calm down, we got you"
Y/n: "GET OFF ME" You screamed as you struggled against his grip, you knew he was spiderman, you knew his strengh was something you couldn't quite shrug off.
Jeff was holding Helia by his forearm, tightly, Helia, clearly not knowing what the hell was happening began to hyperventilate.
Jeff walked Helia to you and Miles, where he looked down on you being held tight by Miles, again trapped by your family, Jeff leant over you and whispred over to Miles.
Jeff: "I'll take Y/n home, you talk to this Helai guy, M'kay?"
Miles: "Okay"
And So Miles let go of you, only for you to be immdedialy grabbed by your Uncle Jeff whom began to pull you out the park, now it was just Helia, and Miles.
...
...
Helia: "Do I know you?"
Miles: "How do you know my cousin Y/n?"
Helia: "Oh...She's your cousin I see"
Miles: "I asked you a question"
Helia: "uhhh, I'm sorry but what the fuck is happening?"
Miles: "Are you fucking deaf or something? I asked you a question, how do you know My cousin?"
Helia: "I know her through Flora, jeez"
Miles: "And How do you know Flora?"
Helia: "Uh, I know her through a class I took"
Miles: "Uh huh"
Miles approched Helia slowly.
Miles: "Listen man, I can't have you hanging round my cousin like that, m'kay?"
Helia: "I don't understa-"
Miles: "Listen, just stay the fuck away from her before I take you out, you understand?"
Helia: "...Okay"
Miles nodded at him, and simply walked off out the woods.
Meanwhile, Your Uncle Jeff was shuffling you out the park and into the police cruiser.
With Miles short behind, he followed you into the car, sitting next to you in the back with Jeff in the front, boxing you in the car.
Jeff: "Care to explain yourself?"
Y/n: "Not really, no"
Miles: "Are you serious?"
Y/n: "Did you hurt him?"
Miles: "What?"
Y/n: "Did you hurt Helia?"
Miles: "No, just gave him some words of encourment"
Y/n: "oh my fukci-"
Jeff: "Don't swear in my car"
Y/n: "Then let me out the car!"
Jeff: " Y/n, all Iv'e done today, all Miles has done today was run around trying to find you"
Y/n: "I didn't ask you too!"
Jeff: "Let me finish, We bend over backwards trying to find you when you go running round town, doing God knows what and all you do once we find you is give us flac"
Y/n:" Yeah, beacuse it's weird! You, a grown man and your son go hunting for me whenever I do anything"
Jeff: "We are trying to protect you Y/n"
Y/n: " From WHAT?"
Miles: "Y/n, You don't understand what goes through a man's head"
Jeff: "Exactly"
Y/n: "That sounds like a self report to me"
Miles: "Excuse me?"
Y/n: "You heard what I said"
About a half hour later, you pulled up outside your building where you were basically carried up to your apartment, when the door opened revelaing your Auntie Rio, and your Dad Aaron waiting for you on the couch, while your Uncle and Miles stood behind you, creating a human wall for you to get past.
Aaron: "I see you came to your sense's"
Y/n: "Not really, I was brought back here, by your Brother and his Son, again"
Rio: "Don't be rude Y/n, your just digging yourself a bigger whole"
You see your stuff laying on the table, your cash teddy, Your diary and your phone book.
Miles flicked through it, looking confused.
Miles: "Why do you have a phone book?"
Y/n: "In case Aaron takes my phone, I can call people since no one remembers phone numbers"
The room fell quite.
Aaron: "...Aaron?"
Y/n: "...is that not your name?"
You saw the colour in Miles face drain out. Rio and stood and stepped to you.
Rio: "How DARE you! GET TO YOUR ROOM!" She pointed to your doorless area of 'privacy'
Y/n: "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPNED TO MY DOOR?!"
Aaron: "I think you mean my door, beacuse this is my house, and you are my daughter and until you start acting right I'll be keeping my door out the frame"
Y/n: "There is a rectangluar whole in the door!"
Rio: "GO TO YOUR ROOM YOUNG LADY"
And as you sulked over to your room, you went to slam the door,Only to remeber, it was gone, you looked back at your family staring you down as you turned the corner.
Rio: "Adios mio that girl"
GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS NOOOOOOOW

I'd like to say something at this point.
I'm reading here and there that some of you are changing their vision about Noah or reaching the point to ask yourself if you still want to be a supporter of him because of what that blog said about him.
I believe that what happened between Noah and this person is probably true, I don't have any reason to doubt about her. But.
As we say in Italy, you can't fully believe to a story if you ear just one-side bell. Noah doesn't have the chance to tell his side of the story because he has better things to do than care about gossip. More than that, it's a human being. We have to look at the big picture. I don't want to defend him at all costs, I actually really don't care because untill he will be a decent person in public (not saying bullshit like Ronnie, for instance) and continue to be polite to his supporters, we are cool. I think I'm far older than more than half of the rest of this (sometimes really bad) fandom because I was a teen in the years of the emo wave. You maybe don't know about the Used, early MCR, Radke himself, Oli Sykes before Sempieternal...
They were drugs addicted. Always drunks as skunks. Pissing on people, throwing mic stands in the pit, get FULLY NAKED on stage (I'll never forgot about this, Quinn Allman). They did some awful shit in front of they supporters and to their supporters. Things that nowadays would get them canceled. You have no idea (maybe, or maybe you have) of what was Warped Tour 2005. Or maybe it was 2004? I can't recall.
Bad Omens are TODDLERS compared to this people. Innocent, pure babies. They are nice, extrovert maybe but nice. No one can deny that. They dont do drugs, they dont get drunk on stage or fuck around this supporters. They have an healthy routine in tour, they are teaching people to not fucking fight, they don't fuel fights! Its NORMAL in metal to have a couple of injuries at concerts. Collateral damages. I was nine at my second concert and I saw Slipknot. One dude broke his nose in the pit. Blood everywhere.
It's not a fucking Hannah Montana show. Those dudes are suppose to be badass. Noah is not pretending to be someone else or faking a new personality. He is doing is job and he is delivering pretty good shows. In no time he will grab his crotch around moaning like Oli, give him fucking space to express himself and be feral. Like any other metal artist.
Another thing.
Bad Omens vip experience is not expensive. I don't have interest in buy vip pass for 30 second of nothing, I'd rather wait after the gig is over. I met so many artists this way and usually they are more appreciable if they don't have to move to the next city. BUT the costs is not that high. I bought vip pass for LP once and I had to work 3 months to save enough for it. And I was still living at my parents'!
The merch is high quality, they make new pieces every time.... that's their way to get real cash guys. During a tour you have to pay tons of shit: the venue, flights, hotels, your crew. And you pay in advance most of the time. I don't think they are rich bitches rn. They are doing fine probably but still many of them lives with friends. Having flatmates is many time a signal that you can't afford Ronnie Radke house in Paradise Palisades.
I heard that they weren't really nice during the set in Canada. Maybe Montreal or Toronto. Someone felt bad, someone dropped a surfer I don't know. I didn't follow this I here for dirty smutty ff. If I want to see them play I have tiktok. By the way you have to know that most of the time you can't see shit from stage. Because you have lights in your face pointing your eyes. So probably noah just say a crow surfer falling and thought 'here we go again, this people has no fucking etiquette', and he left the stage. Or maybe who owned the venue asked them to do so in case of emergency.
BTW there is no fucking etiquette at their concerts. I stand with him if he's pissed off about that. It's not that hard to understand that you have to stay at the sides if you're not used to metal shows or you don't want to be pushed. Other people is ruining your experience or maybe its simply not for you. I grew up in the moshpit and that's how we like our shit. We have no time for filming or make tiktoks, we live the moment (we, people who like metal music, I'm not gatekeeping. If you wanna learn how to survive the pit and enjoy the experience just message me.)
So, to sum up.
My point is that every one of us has that friend that was a dick with one or more girls we still love him because we know that he's a weirdo an not a bad person.
My advice is stop being obsessed with Noah and just enjoy his work. You dont know him, you cant tell. Don't believe everything, stories are getting bigger and bigger everytime their are told, and think about the fact that straight guys are mostly jerks. They take more time to mature and act like adults. We know that Noah is in therapy now, he open up about it, so he is aware that he is not perfect.
BECAUSE HE IS NOT. HE IS A HUMAN BEING AND HUMANS MAKE MISTAKES.
That's it.
I don't want to fuel fights as well but please stop being ridiculous and acting like he is insulting you personally. It's fine to be delululu but your pushing the limits.
Peace and love.

playful land (part 2)
contains spoiler for the movie pinocchio so and like book 7 spoilers (its literally just 2 words relating to lilia and its a card that exists)
���� as a glasses wearer i can relate. when i didnt have my glasses id squint a lot but the people around me just thought i had my eyes closed so they thought i wasnt paying attention D:
Tumblr media
its even crazier to think that lilia, a war veteran and everything was legitimately stressed over this 💀 but to be fair if grim was in danger of getting out of like the seats that lilia had to hold him back id be panicking too cause who knows what could happen
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
heres your reminder that vil was kinda baby (well child but thats still baby to me) when being in the industry and considered good at playing the villain even though children (and teenagers) are literally known for changing, are in the prime time of their life to change and experiment and try different things theyve never done before and so typecast him is literally to stunt his growth and potential !!! and remember there were those kids who thought vil was an actual villain and like tried to attack him or some shit so he did play villains when he was younger. and it probably really hit him hard because kids dont (and shouldnt) be hit with the reality that not everyone is nice and that people can be out to get you for no reason other than 'you exist' and will run with any reason they can to hate on you even if its entirely fake and they dont even know you but they just think youre a bad person despite the truth and theres nothing you can do to change that because they dont want to be wrong. if you cant tell i have a lot of things against it. like. like child prodigies n celebrities are great good for you for being good at something and being recognized for it, but ohh my god its like suddenly they're an adult and cant make mistakes without people condemning them even though literally everyone has made mistakes before and children dont know any better until they do it and mess up and thats okay and i just. i just want vil to be ok cause hes still really young.
Tumblr media
the text being like pLAcehOldeR TExT PLaCeHoLDer TeXt is so fucking creepy for the puppets 😭 why cant it just be normal like when like AIs or like the systems of shit talk (like like the navi system that was normal?? and i thought the voices for the rollercoaster was normal too but i mightve just not noticed considering im playing it right as the update came out and i havent slept yet so yippee)
JIMINY CRICKET IS THAT YOU 💀
the way i missed all these references the first time but now im actually getting them cause i saw the movie
Tumblr media
heres where i say i already forgot like a part of the middle of the movie and what happened and why. i was watching it with friends so i got distracted trying to talk to them and im really bad at multitasking when trying to watch something (like reallly pay attention) and talk to someone at the same time so i forget one or the other and i forgot the movie so i dont remember what the apple core was about but i doubt it was good intentioned
Tumblr media
i know that leona's older than them but i still like that he calls them kids like d'aww
Tumblr media
flashbacks to kalim mentioning he didnt know how to pay for things or how cash registers worked and stuff like that cause usually merchants came to him also him mentioning he got like lint rollers for the carpet but he just kept buying new ones when he ran out instead of buying a new roll, and when being informed that he could buy a new roll instead of an entirely new roller he just called whoever thought of that a genius 😭 his obliviousness is genuinely harmful to him no matter how good intentioned someone may be to try to spoil him and make him live the most comfortable life ever because theres so much life experiences hes lacking. and theres so much i could say about this but ive yapped enough about this in other posts and ive also already yapped about vil so um
Tumblr media
HES LICKING THEM BECAUSE OF THE OVERBLOT STONES ISNT HE? ???? ????? GRim PLEASE
Tumblr media
…hes got a tail because he went to pleasure island and was slowly turning into a donkey like i mean i guess i can understand because in twst the stories were twisted so both the hero and the villain got a happy ending technically? like remember i think jasmine married like 'a street rat' or something (I cant remember exactly? maybe he was like a thief but changed his ways?), while jafar caught someone who was pretending to be a prince to marry her (described as two different people btw)
Tumblr media
THIS. THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. he is so unaware that hes going to make dumb and insensitive comments that could definitely offend someone but he doesnt understand what the problem with it is this boy is like the heir right?? someone please teach him politics and like diplomacy shit ???? like ok you want him to have the best life. his best life is not making mistakes in front of important people that can fuck things up without him realizing and ruining relationships because HE DOESNT KNOW BETTER. like theres only so long you can baby someone and i know hes baby and still young but stop coddling him. like i mean i want to coddle him i want to wrap him in bubble wrap but like come on. and i know hes smart, he knows people arent the best because people have tried to poison him and tried to kill him (even some of his family have tried) but come on. like what if he comes off as insincere? as a person who couldnt possibly understand? HE ALREADY DOES COME OFF AS THAT HAVE YOU SEEN JAMIL?? and you know what thats gonna breed? RESENTMENT. aAAAAAAa AND PEOPLE ARE GONNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIM BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SEE THE GOOD IN EVERYONE EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO DO BAD SHIT TO HIM AND ITS JUST. i dont want him to be hurt and hes gonna get hurt and he already has been hurt and hes still managing and i feel so bad for him and i just. ..you can tell i have a lot of feelings over thsi fhaidwsuiahfd
Tumblr media
d'aww hes hugging him 🥺
Tumblr media
yknow kalim probably has the funds to get like a water breathing potion and explore underwater like i mean tbh it kinda scares me. wasnt there that story during like one of the halloween events one of the leech twins mentioning how they saw like one of them?? except it wasnt them. and that like people went missing or some shit??? the coral sea (..that might not be the name i forgor) has its own dangers i hope he stays safe during so
Tumblr media
wouldnt it be the coolest for a hometown event with the leech twins and azul and kalim is there actually i wonder what kinda outfits they'd wear. also in caters birthday bloom vignette floyd mentioned that he could take cater to the coral sea and show him places land people dont really get to see (then warns him to watch out for shark attacks) to which cater replies that he'll pass. …still i think itd be really cool for him to go too. maybe we could make it a pop music club trip! has lilia been to the coral sea? i cant remember 🤔 i dont think caters phone is waterproof though (hes also mentioned it in that vignette) and hes mentioned it in this event where he was scared his phone would get waterlogged during the whale rollercoaster cause they were getting drenched in water and he didnt get time to prepare
Tumblr media
leona. you get me.
Tumblr media
kalim just automatically being worried about poison makes me feel really bad for him cause he always has to be cautious like i know he doesnt say it but its implied and it makes me sad
Tumblr media
FIGARO MY BELOVED I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU PRECIOUS BABY AHFDASUDIHAIUDHW i love cats so much the moment he showed up on screen i just couldnt pay attention to anything that was happening in the movie and i just love the way he was animated he looked so fluffy and cute and i just wanted to pet him so fucking much aGHHHH
Tumblr media
leona: I REFUSE to ride the carousel no matter what right after leona: on the carousel
Tumblr media
so confirmed kalim does have a magicam acc huh

I recently watched a video about fast fashion, how we got to this point, and are clothes nowadays worse quality than they were 40 years ago (https://youtu.be/jCwbU41Icfw?si=mhVf7oNnol_LM_Wk)
People in the comments started on about how thrift stores are getting more expensive and how it's cheaper to buy new... Bruh, you absolutely missed the point
Mass manufacturing shirts and selling each shirt for only $2 is not a sustainable business model. How is it made possible, then? By outsourcing and exploiting workers by barely paying them even though they work 75+ hours a week with extremely hazardous materials in extremely dangerous and unregulated work environments to fulfill astronomical work-quotas, and by getting materials from producers who use slave labor. (Some of these workers would have to work 200 hours just to be able to afford a $2 shirt they made, not accounting for the buying of daily necessities and delayed delivery of wages by their employer)
Clothing companies have driven the price points so low that a normal business cannot survive at that price point. Thrift stores cannot exploit their supply chain too because they dont have one they control (excluding boutiques that label themselves as thriftstores but actually order and sell new goods and sell a few "preloved" things). They rely on donations. Some cannot sell shirts for $2 or less and stay afloat while paying rent, utilities, and their employees. And if all they get are cheap shirts bc that's all the populous is buying and then donating to them, they will have to sell them for a price that can sustain their business.
I'm sure that as thrifting has become more popular there are some thrift stores that have been trying to cash in (Goodwill sells for profit despite claiming to be non-profit). I'm not trying to say that people who run thrift stores have never exploited their employees, volunteers, or customers. But on the whole, vilifying thrifting because it's supposed to be cheaper but "it's actually cheaper to buy new" absolutely misses the point and is a selfish train of thought. That's all :)

i'm gonna be honest: paying ten dollars a month to join a discord server sounds really really really really really really really stupid
Pretty sure is not only the server? Is kinda of a membership-ish thingie with some things >including< the server and special events that gives you direct contact with the glitch crew included.
And i assume the price is like that to stop way too young kids from joining the server and because its a way to direct support all the animations at once, cuz the merch is quite expensive
Since glitch is making more projetcs in the future, They will need some extra cash so this is probally the way they found out how to get this extra cash
I Dont really understand about dollar price stuff cuz im a poor Guy from latino america so im not really defending them, but at the same time I dont think its that bad either?.
Its like a gourmet pizza. Only people who have money can afford It and enjoy the extra good stuff, but is not really that different from what a normal pizza alredy gives. So yeah It is in fact a luxury that not everyone can pay/will enjoy paying for.
And I have heard people are allowed to share whats posted there anyways, so If some important stuff happens you will probally see some posts of Discord members sharing it

Tis Thorn:
After The 2nd extermination and battle with Heaven, the Hotel gets another sinner. Everyone is extremely happy with this (well Alastor couldn't careless, except for how entertaining this sinner could be--and how he could use them to bug his Muse).
However...once VOX catches sight of this sinner...it's over. This sinner is his killer after all, and while Vox did leave a mortal blow on him as well (multiple blows, to be exact--Vox had poisoned his knives, during their fight. But the sinner had still popped Vox's head like a grape, so while Vox's death was quick the new hazbin's was an agonizing's six month long ordeal.)
So the Vees start ignoring the hotel and everyone in it. Angel Dust doesn't get called in--which at first he likes and is happy about. Until he starts running out of money. Which has never happened before with Val--the cash has always flowed, but so has the texts and calls...now, theres nothing.
Vox isn't following Alastor around at all, or paying him any attention either. He's hurt and pissed off. How dare Alastor help redeem his killer? Fuck the radio demon. Fuck the hazbin hotel. But especially Fuck Alastor and everything they ever had together.
OH. oh.... thorn your brain... humongus. ginormous. i endorse this idea 100% im crying screaming throwing up puking at this.genuinely tweaking rn what the hell
thinking... in the case that vox and husk had a familial relationship before he got contracted to alastor, he probably feels even MORE betrayed because now his pseudo father figure is also supporting his killer. fuck can you imagine. the horror that morphs into rage and anger when he realizes just who the new sinner at the hotel is
alastor probably doesnt understand why vox has been avoiding him at first, so he probably tries to send his shadow to go see why at first but when that gets turned away, he turns to angel, who for all intents and purposes is both elated to be left alone by valentino but also completely banned from the whole of the entertainment district for some reason. when they show up to ask why, charlie in tow, theyre informed by voxs quivering assistants that everyone associated with the hazbin hotel has been banned from the premises, before valentino and velvette come bursting through the doors and chases them out. alastor *almost* gets into a fight with them, but velvette manages to snatch him by the lapels and scream at him and call him a heartless bastard- at least, if youre fed up with voxs attention just tell him to fuck off like a normal person, you dont need to fraternize with the man who butchered and murdered him
and suddenly it all clicks with the fact that the new sinner at the hotel's stories, why he said he wouldn't be going with them to the entertainment district-- but then alastor, with his (sometimes annoyingly so) keen nose smells the scent of said sinner in the vees building and knows nearly instinctively that the bastard is headed for *his* vox's office, and without even a second thought he gives chase

I can’t believe I’ve been here long enough to see the rise and potential fall of SJM. I feel like after hofas everyone is finally just done with her mediocre books and constant cash grabs. All of it comes across as so entitled and money hungry when she can’t even give us a book a year, makes us pay $20 to watch a prerecorded interview about nothing, and has treated her readers like shit. And honestly I know she doesn’t cater to fan service but not including even a very subtle reference to Elain in HOFAS to indicate she is next was such a choice on her part and it makes me mad at her because she knows this is what we’re all waiting for.
It’s obvious bloomsbury is trying to take her to the next level of stardom, but I predict this year or next they are going to find out their efforts were not sustainable and they’ve lost half the readership. I truly don’t think people are sticking around anymore and I think the SJM fervor all around is wearing off. The people who are still here are just waiting for Elain’s book and then are leaving… even the people who were huge SJM stans of all her series.
And PS… if the tik tok ban does truly occur, I’ll bet bloomsbury will really regret letting tik tokers do their marketing…
I dont know--it will be interesting to see.
On Goodreads and Amazon, HOFAS ratings are pretty high. In 4+ category. On social media, the feedback and ratings are pretty abysmal. So it's hard to understand what people are actually feeling about the latest book.
If TikTOk does get banned, then it will be interesting if it will prompt BB and her to be more active or not.
BB is definitely treating her like a princess, but yeah, it's all about money and popularity, so if she isn't bringing in the expected dividends will they become drastically more strict with her and won't allow her year long disappearances? Will they push her to be more present? Will they actually hire a normal PR team that handles their socials?
I am super curious about how the future will go and what will happen overall.
I do think that a lot of current readers who are sticking around for Elriel or Gwynriel will fall off after the next book. I cant imagine sticking around after that.
Like i might become a casual reader and perhaps still read her future books but that will depend on what happens next. If she botches the next book, I have no interest in continuing to read her books.

This is so random but i just want to share my thoughts. Sometimes i kinda dislike it when they mentioned they have a mortgage and we should support them by buying merch and stuff. I know it's kinda a joke and its cute that they share a mortgage and its sort of make them relatable, but it really is not relatable. They are in a whole different tax bracket than most of their viewers. And I really think they are a lot richer than a lot of us think they are. From what they showed us in older videos, they sort of lived below their means before they moved into their home now, which props to them because we see a lot of youtubers were splurging on luxury shits right when they start making money. But like buying a custom built house with that size in Central London... is very very expensive... and yes I know they have mortgage but like having a mortgage doesn't always mean they don't have the means to pay the house in full. They won't purchase a house that cant afford. Besides, they were not that active for a couple of years and still be able to keep the house. Some people just like to not put all their savings in one property.... with them, i imagine they would like to have the cash flow to invest on tours and other business adventures.
I am NOT saying that all they do is for cashgrab because this is their JOB. I love them dearly and love to support them. But I see some people mistook the whole "mortgage" thing and really underestimate the amount they make on sponsorships. All i want to say is support them however you are comfortable with. You dont always have to buy merch or go to their tour to show support!
i think if phannies knew a little more about fashion (the history of it, quality variations, and major players vs caring about personal style) they’d have a better understanding of how wealthy dnp are, for dan to blow normal people’s rent money on luxury brands’ subpar products like it’s nothing. sort of similar, i always roll my eyes when dan touts himself as an eat-the-rich anticapitalist / makes jokes about capita£ester bc.. they are both rich capitalists… we’re all part of a society and if dan and phil were given the option to give up their wealth to allow everyone to live in a moneyless utopia i’m sure they would, but as it is now they are absolutely profiting off of and playing into capitalism. not that they should be expected to take drastic action in fighting capitalism, but i do think it’s a little ridiculous for a rich british man to try and act like a communist baddie and poke fun at his rich british partner for not being one when the reality is they are both capitalists.
