#and also i think being mean to random strangers out of nowhere makes you an asshole?

[rabbithaver]

listen i will always support the idea that being mean to complete strangers based on their appearance is bad actually.

like yeah the patriarchy sucks and should totally be dismantled! but how the fuck is being an asshole to individual people because of a trait they can't help going to like... do that? you don't know shit about kevin on the street corner. you have no idea if he's a feminist or not. all you know about kevin is that he fits your definition of what a man looks like.

frankly i think there's a lot of "leftists" out there who just want there to be a group it's okay to lash out at because they're scared

[roseofdarkness0]

Here are some more headcanons/story based on this post

I expanded the idea a little bit in the tag on that post but I will rewrite them here as well :D

1/?

•Kinich, Ororon and Layla are veerrrry sibling coded to me, I mean look at them!!! Green-Purple-Blue!!!!

•Kinich is the oldest out of the three, as I think either his mother or (more likely) his father had either affair OR they were split after their births, Ororon left in the mountains and Layla by the dessert with Kinich left in their "care" untill the obvious happened.

•pointy ears kinich 🤝 Layla + bat ears Ororon

•Kinich already "corrupted" Ororon into jumping from high places and enjoying it so it's just matter of time before he convinces Layla that it's very very fun to do that.

•Claymore+Bow+Sword users

•None of them connect any of the dots untill Wanderer points it out to Layla later (Layla being 4ggravate fav daughter-in-law ((collei/layla)) at family dinner asking her if the two strangers were distant family and her being like "huh????"

°"The two looked like you"

"I didn't notice, but no that's not my family"

"If you say so"

• What happened, was that Kinich and Ororon visit Sumeru and met sleep deprived Layla when she was in the market and nearly stumbled into them and somehow they got into heated conversation because Ororon mentioned that her soul is full of dual stars but not broken like his. She was confused but did try to politely tell him that humans don't have stars for souls with him just staring at her being like but you do

•Kinich just watched on resigned to the fact that they will probably be longer in the market then either of them planned and miss their chance to get at least one decent room at the inn. Wonderer watched from the shadows as well, ready to defeat the newcomers if they tried anything. Not that he cared but Collei would have been sad of something happened to Layla and he could have prevented it so might as well

•Ajaw did appear to sew more chaos but took one look at three and took himself into a time out muttering something about there being "three of them now"

•After lengthy discussion that lead to nowhere, they went they separate way (Wanderer stopping Layla from following as Kinich dragged Ororon away) they thought they could forget about it.

°Layla kept on thinking about Wanderers comments because the more she thought about it (between the precious moments of free time) the more she become more confused, because it was so so easy to argue with random stranger then it was with classmates she knew for years, so maybe there was something to it? But she didn't remember ???

°at night, with her chains broken she would search for them to demand answers but she couldn't find them anymore, it was making her restless thus she threw herself even more into her studies, hoping (deluding herself) that if she made enough of free time maybe she could find them again?

•After the disastrous meeting in the market, kinich decided that it might be best to explore areas outside the city and see what they have in store for them and hey maybe they find some asphids on this side of the world as well?

°they find mushrooms. They fly for some reason. But also ajaw was even more grumpy then usual and avoiding Kinich questions, was there something about the mystery girl that he was keeping away from them?

•Somehow all three meet again in the port ormos by pure coincidence. Layla wished to buy something for Collei (and amber, she wanted to make good impression on her girlfriend girlfriend) and Kinich dragged Ororon over to the port to find temporary lodgings so they can re stock for their journey back to natlan.

•Once again, market seems to be their chance meeting, Ororon is back at the inn, resting before the journey ahead and Kinich and Ajaw are out in the market getting supplies they need.

•They bump into Layla by one of the trinket stalls,

°"oh! It's you"

"Hello"

"......"

"......"

"Ugh, really kinich?! Just say something instead of staring at her!!!! Or better yet!!! Introduce her to the Almight-"

"Sorry about him I put him in timeout so he shouldn't bother us.... Would you like to talk somewhere else?"

"Sure?"

•The stall owner is like bruh

•they get to the inn and on the way there Kinich introduces himself and Ororon, telling her not to worry about Ajaw and that Ororon is just like that sometimes. She tells him not to worry about it but she is curious as to why the two are all the way here away from natlan?

°"Ororon is a recent widow, thought this might cheer him up"

"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't know-"

"Don't mention it to him and you be fine"

•Ororon is surprised to find Layla with Kinich but adapts pretty quickly and they get talking whilst Kinich starts packing their supplies. They talk pretty well into the night at which point they do offer Layla the spare bed in the room for her to sleep in or to walk her back all the way to sumeru city.

•She chooses to stay the night

•And in the morning as all three eat their breakfast, they agree to walk Layla back to sumeru city before they depart back to Natlan. The journey back is nice, long but nice and at the end of it they agree to meet again, be it in natlan, desert or somewhere else.

°

"You sure you have everything? We won't stop walking until we reach the pyramid" Kinich eyed Ororon, taking mental stock of all the supplies they shared and wondering if he should bring more just in case.

"I do" Ororon nodded, ready to go back to Natlan. He appreciated the trip and Kinich not-worry-worryness about him but he really wished he could go back to his vegetable fields and his asphids.

And he remembered about the light novels for granny as well, so she probably won't kill them.

"Then let's go, earlier we leave sooner we come back"

Nodding, Ororon was quick to follow, peace settling over them as they kept walking. The quite footsteps that were following them still a distance away.

"Do you think she will catch up to us before we get to the desert village?"

"...she???"

"Layla? The girl from Port? Didn't you notice???"

"No?"

"oh... Are we waiting for her?"

"we are now"

As a preface for the hc request, I live in the middle of nowhere (and when I say the middle of nowhere I mean I live in the same town as Amish communities 😭 there is genuinely nothing to do here except for a single gas station that is basically impossible to walk to half the time)

I would love some hcs of the Curtis bros living in the middle of nowhere in a place like this AND combine that with the au of pony and curly meeting and talking online cause they live far away from each other!!

Maybe they moved there after everything that went down to give a fresh start to Pony or smth and ponyboy turned to the internet to find entertainment and friends 🤷‍♂️ country life was not as good as he imagined HE ROMANTICIZED IT TOO HARD

I am requesting because IHATEITHERE so I need him to experience it as well 💘 love literally everything you post, always a banger 🙏(also sorry for insans yap on my part LMAOO)

this is the perfect ask rn bc ive been thinking about sonething similar for the longest time, god bless u anon🙏🏽🙏🏽

for funsies lets say its like early 2000s

AND THANK U FOR UR SUPPORT,,,ily,,,

•NOW SEE, i dont think they would move out from tulsa after everything, purely for the fact that everything they have is literally there, they cant just uproot their whole lives, yknow?? BUTTT what i will say is that the curtis family gives off the vibe of ppl who HAVE lived in the middle of nowhere and just moved to some place less in the middle of nowhere and thats whats happenin here, they r moving from nowhere to somewhere!!!

•as for how pony and curly met, pony was on some internet forum for tulsa!!! hes a lil curious about where theyre gonna b going but theres a lil stupid TROLL (aka curly) going around it and thats how they met each other :3 curly was specifically targeting pony bc he was a newbie, they took it into arguing in dms but pony was actually pretty funny so they started talking, became friends, pony sent a pic, curly was like “woah mama” annnddddd we get the papercut we know and love

•curlys such an ass bc everytime pony expressed excitement to go to one area like a lake or somethin, curly always ruins it w a “we can go but” and then drops a disgusting fact about the place, if ponys gonna live in tulsa hes gonna b forced to b as unhappy as the residence, aint no frolicking in the flowers here, white boy

•LET THEM PLAN WHEN THEY WANNA MEET UP!!! ponys basically counting the days down and somewhat hiding it from darry. darrys alright when it comes to technology hes not an old man, but its still a new place and he wants to protect pony yknow??? cant imagine the first thing ur baby brother doing is going to meet a stranger and u being 100% on board w it

•soda knows about it and hes talked to curly here n there, sodas still a lil on the fense but glad that ponys making friends w other ppl his age w no help. this is lil one of the rarest instances where sodas kinda open to the idea of pony hanging w curly, revel in it while we’re here

•the video calls between them r something truly special. ponys internet is so ASS and so is curlys, they glitch out sm but theyre used to it now. ANYWAYS, theres been multiple instances if the others family coming in mid call bc theyre both using the family computer thats in the living room, they tease each other for it so bad theres so many inside jokes about it

•this means that darrys looked a lil bit at their messages “on accident” and angelas looked through it just to b nosey, she has no shame about it. darrys managed to personally talk to curly so he felt better about them meeting while angelas just straight up pretended to b curly or got online to lowkey shit talk to pony about him shes sooooo sick of hearing about em😭😭

•curly loves making courage the cowardly dog references to pony by sending him monsters or random scary images on the internet and asking if hes seen them around. does it scare pony???? sometimes, hes not admitting it however

•they gave each other their addresses, if u think them being grounded off the computer was gonna stop em from talking u were sooooo wrong. sometimes cyrly just sends pony a glitter bomb, like i said internet troll over here

•pony sometimes draws curly and sends it over to him, its somewhere hung up on his wall. if anyone ever asks, he tells em he scammed this artist into drawing it for him, he told that story to tim but tim didnt believe him at ALL. next time curly was on call w pony, tim crashed it and started questioning pony. pony was scared shitless❤️

•if ponys moving to tulsa i feel like he also told curly the location of where and curly the little fucking creep he is has been leaving lil notes for pony to see, even carved ponys name on multiple trees so pony couldnt miss it. when pony eventually does move in curly secretly gives him a week to find em all before he just tells pony he did it and shows him around to see them

It has been an INSANE few months. Don’t get me wrong, while this man is not one for wanting kids or marriage, he is a giant marshmallow that loves romance stuff (even tho from past observations dating him is like doing bunch of side quests in a video game). That being said: I really really really wish you could see this man for the past few months. He’s still a giant dumbass, who has no filter and does dumb shit (last week he “borrowed” a plate from a restaurant bc he wasnt finished eating his spaghetti when dad decided that they were leaving, please try to imagine my dads look when he looked at the passenger side and realized my brother took the plate and fork) That being said, for the past few months he has been a blushing, giggling IDIOT! And he is still this way. I told Nick I know how annoying he can be in recovery and he went "idk what you mean, he's been very good" and I wanted to fight both of them. I HAD TO CHASE THAT MAN DOWN A STREET CAUSE HE WAS MAD AT CRAIG! meanwhile my boy Nick says "babe, maybe take a nap" and he goes "good idea but tv stays on so I feel like I'm winning this argument a little bit" ugh.

He really had zero idea what was happening until that pool/bar date and even that it was only because on the way home he stopped at his friends place and he was telling them about the “cool new guy he made friends with” and during the telling of the game and how he “let him win” he realized that he had Nick do the move that usually he would do on his dates. According to one of the friends there, it was like watching the oh…oh…OH..OH FUCK, in real life except he didn’t know he had the oh moment. (I asked btw, he had it while trying to sleep and out of nowhere he realized he actually likes him in a "gay way and not in an ALLY! way") (he is also upset about no longer being able to do the ally fist)

I do have to give my man Nick some credit tho. He found out about his qaf/Brian obsession and about the fact that bunch of strangers watched him react to it and he thought it was the most hilarious thing ever and I read him some of my brothers highlights and he actually found it adorable and funnt. Insane behavior if you ask me. It did however make me feel better when he learned about his Brian crush and went “you basically had a crush on him and you still thought we were just two bros hanging out?” And that idiot went “that’s no- OH MY GOD WAS BRIAN MY AWAKENING?!?!” (The answer from dad was ‘no, cause you were clearly asleep when you met’) Also his face was priceless when he found out that my brother played pool. It really was a dummy going on dates and not realizing it and a guy thinking he’s dating the most shy guy ever. He has since learned that my brother does not know that word.

I will have you know tho that about a month into their relationship we were having lunch and he looked at me in horror and went “oh no, they have that hashtag for me as straight brother. This will totally fuck it up for them” and I had to remind him that he is just a random guy and he got upset with me and went “yeah, but you can’t tell me that they won’t be at least a tiny 2% happy to know that I of all people managed to make Bri Bri proud!”  Btw the rimming joke actually made me laugh bc I was unfortunately a witness to him saying "Oh just like in quee-" and Nick going "yeah, no..let's not take inspirations from that"

SPOILER ALERT. Those following along, go back and read these in order!

Dear sweet anon, I AM DYING AT THESE UPDATES.

I snorted at the idea of him walking out of restaurant with a plate and a fork.

Nick is having it easy because your brother is still trying to impress him. One day he will see the full beast unleashed.

He can still make the fist about being an ally... just for other letters of the LGBTQIA community.

"You had a crush on him and still thought we were still bros hanging out" is sending me. Nick is a saint and I adore him already.

You and your brother are SO important. I do need to change the tag. And we are proud that my fanfic, QAF, and a matchmaker who clearly saw your brother better than he saw himself have all led to boyfriending Nick. I think this all counts for our recruitment numbers for the year.

oo i thought of one other request if thats cool, how about jealousy headcanons for the dotsuitare hompo guys?:) since i feel like all three of these dorks would have quite different reactions when theyre feeling jealous ah ❤️

- 🌙

Dotsuitare Hompo being jealous to their NB! s/o

oh hiii moon! Hii sweetheart, here..! <3 Enjoy!!

NBreader, fluff, just wholesome stuff;;

-It's actually surprisingly easy to make him jealous.

-Like, yeah, he believes in your loyalty. But his childhood, when parents didn't give that much love to him and he had to fight for their attention, makes him kinda paranoid.

-So yeah, you both have hard times in jealousy. Because Sasara is also a popular comedian and it makes you kinda sad too when so many fans crowd around him, giggling and clearly flirting..

-And of course some people are trying to befriend you, knowing that you're his partner and thinking they would be able to get some profit from this..

-Most of the time Sasara just interrupts this awkward conversation and jokes this away..

-"Mm? Well, darling, how can I not be jealous when it's about you? Sometimes I get jealous even when you go grocery shopping.." - he sighs dramatically and giggles. - "..cause there’s always a cashier checking you out..!"

-So expect him to cling to you for the whole day after, as he will not leave you side even for a moment, hand tightly holding yours.

-But actually he does understand that it's kinda foolish, especially when you have much more reason to be jealous of his fans. So the longer you two are dating the more chill Sasara starts to be about this, knowing you actually love him.

-Well, but it doesn't mean you would get in a little beef with someone who's too stubborn in their tries to win you over.

-Example? Well, you always try to visit all his performances, supporting him from the crowd and giggling every time he notices you and start smiling wider.

-But today, as you were waiting for him to return from the dressing room, some strange guy approached you. It was more like he's not your boyfriend's fan but just a random stranger who decided to hit on you.

-It was so boring. You are sitting here for five minutes already, trying to tell him with all your words and actions that, no, I'm not alone here, and no, I'm not searching for some fun tonight.

-"Why are you so cold? You know, I'm not a bad guy…" - he chuckled and tried to get closer. - "I'm actually an astronaut.. Doesn't this sound prestigious..?"

-"Ah, but aren't dating an astronaut is kinda hard? You always need some space..!" - Sasara suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing between you two. All you notice is his furrowed brows before he turns to this unwanted jerk. - "Sorry, but this star has already fallen for me!"

-Guy just scoff and walk away, leaving you two alone. You can't help but chuckle a little bit, hugging your boyfriend from behind, and he immediately relaxed.

-".. don't laugh at me.." - Sasara mumble and turns to you, hugging tightly. Soft blush appears on his cheeks as he kisses you, more passionate than usual.. - "I hate when someone starts annoying you like that.."

-"No, dear, I was laughing at your little puns.." - you nod, leaning to his chest. - "Don't you worry, I will never leave the orbit of our love, Sasara.."

-"Hehe, I hope so.." - every time you start to make your own puns he gets excited. - "Now come on, give me another kiss.. I want everyone to see that you are shining only for me, star.."

-Oh, it's so hard for him! Rosho actually can be pretty jealous and possessive sometimes, but he doesn't want to stress you with this..

-So he would try to be more chill about it.

-For him, there's nothing wrong with you hanging out with your male friends. And even if someone will try to flirt with you, he will not start a fight right in the place, knowing you will not leave him for anyone.

-"Sorry, but actually we're here together.." - Rosho always just softly interrupts weird conversations between you and random guys, when he sees you feel uneasy.

-Acting like nothing happened yet holding your shoulder more tight than usual, leaning you closer to him while you walk together. And of course if you ask him if something is wrong Rosho would try to keep being calm and not start blushing. Is he actually so easily readable?

-The only situations when he doesn't mind showing his jealousy is when someone flirts with you really heavily or if you start flirting back, even in a joking manner.

-You just decided to visit him at work and bring some sweets for his lunch break. As soon as you get closer to the school your boyfriend is working in, you send a little text that you're here.

-"Hey, cutie, what's your name?" - you shrug from the sudden sound and turn to voice, just to see a guy around your age getting closer. - "I didn't see you here before!"

-Turns out that this guy always picks his little brother after his lessons are over, and now was waiting for him. Well, he definitely was really bored as you just can't get away from him.

-"Are you also here waiting for your siblings?" - he asks, and before you even have time to answer he gets closer. - "Oh, come on! Why don't we leave youngsters in my house and then go for a little walk, mm?"

-"Sorry, but I don't think it would be proper of you to call me 'youngster'" - warm hand placed on your waist as Rosho looked over your shoulder to this man with a calm but cold gaze. - "As the only one who's my spouse waiting for is me.."

-This guy excuses himself as he quickly recognizes one of his brother's teachers, and walks away, ashamed. While you turn to Rosho with laughter.

-"Oh? So I'm your spouse now?" - you can't help but giggle more, seeing how his cheeks start to redden.

-"I just.. You send a text and then not come inside, I get worried.." - with a low sigh Rosho mumbled, embracing you tightly so you wouldn't see his red face. - "And when I walk outside I notice this guy.. He was too close, you know.."

-"He was too.. cheerful and chatty, yeah.." - you chuckle and kiss his cheek. - "But I thought you know I prefer someone calm as you.. Yes, my husband?"

-"You will tease me about this for a long time, yeah?" - it was clearly visible that Rosho was actually kinda happy with this. - "Now take my hand, today would be a parent-teacher meeting so there's many people.. I want them to know you're taken.."

-There was something amusing in the way Rosho reacted to these little jokes, so you just can't stop sometimes. -"Oh, want them to confuse us with another couple who's here to hear about their kid's behavior?~"

-The most calm one. At least in the beginning.

-Well, he's always around people and had so many lovers in his life before that he does understand it would be stupid from his side to be jealous. With passing years this cunning fox started to think there's nothing worth jealousy, the main thing is just having fun together.

-But Rei doesn't mind to use this as a presence to tease you a little and pull you into some hot messy make outs. Or hold your waist tighter in public.

-So yeah, his little "tantrums" look more like teases and jokes than actual jealousy, as he knows damn well how to make you no more jealous and possessive over him with his games.

-But as time passes and as more you start digging in his heart, the more possessive this old con man starts to be. And he is not shy about saying it out loud.

-"Mm? Yes, I'm jealous.." - Rei chuckled after scaring away some guys from you with his big height and kinda mocking tone. - "After all, birdie, you get inside my golden cage, and I don't want any dirty cats to catch you now.."

-But he still loves to spend some nights with you in clubs, spoiling you with drinks and desserts. How can he not? Rei just wants everyone to see he's having the brightest darling here, all by himself.

-And he doesn't really like it when someone interrupts his fun and tries to capture his little sun. After all, he just walks away to a bar and leaves you for a few minutes, and here's some young guy thinking he would be better at seducing you than an old charming womanizer.

-"You look absolutely stunning tonight.." - this guy was kinda bold, almost immediately sitting next to you before you even gave permission to this. Even though you keep saying that you're with a partner here, he just brushes it off with a joke and keep flirting.

-"I love your jewelry.. You have a good taste.." - this jerk suddenly gets closer trying to touch your hand.

-"Of course. After all, I'm the one who buys this and teaches my little kitten a good taste.." - a low chuckle sounded behind his back and the young guy shrugged, not expecting to see such a large man standing next to him. Despite Rei having a smirk on his face, his eyes didn't say anything good. - "What's wrong? Want to have a private lesson from me too?"

-As quickly as this jerk sits next to you, as quickly he jumps from this place, leaving you two in laughter.

-"Ahh, you get jealous?" - you giggle as your boyfriend sits next to you with two drinks he got from a bar. - "You look kinda cute when you are so possessive.."

-"Cute? Maybe you tried to say 'charming'? As I'm kinda old to words like 'cute', baby.." - Rei chuckled, his arm already on your waist, holding you closer to him. You lean to his chest, still with a wild smile on your face.

-"Okay, okay, my charming incomparable darling.." - maybe you start to spend too much time with this old man, as you also get more teasy than usual. But it looked like Rei was enjoying it and playing along.

-"Keep with these sweet words. This is what my hurted soul needs now.." - he sighs with a low sad tone, taking his shot in one hand while the other keeps caressing your waist.

-"Hurted?" - you giggle. - "Ahh, my poor old foxie got so jealous?"

-"Mm, you know, I just like when every eye follows us, we're a perfect match, after all.." - he smirks, turning to you and taking your chin, making you look up at him. - "But I'm kinda jealous that so many guys are piercing only at you, bunny.. Come on, give your 'old foxie' a little kiss so the one who would be jealous is them~"

Erica pov of chapter five! A very ominous title, but we already know who’s watching her.

all chapters linked here

[When you think you’re alone, someone’s watching]

I knew something awful was going to happen the moment that damn pile of money reappeared in my living room.  It’s always been a specialty of mine to sense that kind of thing.  Unfortunately, nine times out of ten I ignore it and continue making things worse.  I only realize this in hindsight, of course.  If I’d known the horrific punishment for using that money, I probably would’ve walked right out of my apartment the day it showed up and never looked back.  I would say going back to John is better than the torture, but it would actually be a very similar experience.  In short, I would be screwed either way.

Not that I have much of a choice these days.  Apparently my free will is the price to pay for all that mysterious money.  I'd involuntarily made a deal with some sort of devil or demon or otherworldly being, and now I couldn’t take it back.  I shouldn’t have touched that money.  Why did I take it when I knew something was wrong?  Stupid fucking logic — correcting my decisions after I already made them.  I couldn’t even make decisions for myself anymore.  It felt like I became a puppet on a string.  My movements weren’t my own, and I could feel something somewhere tugging at me — forcing me to do whatever it wanted.  The sensation always left me feeling frighteningly cold, like I was already dead.

Whatever took my body hadn’t seemed so malicious at first.  It had given me a small fortune, a mini mansion, a stable job, everything I wanted.  I thought it was a prank or strange new tv show; little did I know I would end up here, like this.  It’s all been taken from me now, except the mansion and my car.  The only reason I still have those is because I need some form of transportation, and without the mansion, I don’t have a home.  I.. god, I think I really screwed up.  I made it mad or something.  It took almost everything I’d bought.  Did I use the money in the wrong way?  But what else would they have given me a whole giant secret safe of it for?

Strangely enough, whatever was torturing me wasn’t too cruel.  I mean, having zero choice over where I went and what I did was a shit deal, but if my puppet master could really do whatever they wanted, things could be a whole lot worse.  A lot of people would do worse.  John would do worse.  He would have me right where he wanted me from square one.  I could feel goosebumps on my arms just thinking about it, even though I’m not even controlling them.  

In all the horror movies about possession and stuff, the puppet was usually hurt for fun or thrown into awful situations just to amuse whoever was controlling them.  Thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case for me.  All my puppet master’s done is force me to live a well-off human life.  Is it using me to live a human life for itself?  Why me?  Why not one of the thousands of other people in the city?  And if I’m being controlled like this without a single person knowing, how many other people are actually these beings in disguise?  

From sunup to sundown I was a stranger in my own body.  There were a few exceptions, though.  Once in a while I’d wake up and not be greeted by the awful sensation of being tied to some unseeable thing.  Apparently, I was given random days off.  I panicked the first time I woke without being controlled, desperate to find out what had happened, and why I could suddenly move my own limbs again.  I drove away to the middle of nowhere, trying to hide, but I’d been caught speeding down the highway in my rush to get away.  I ended up right back home because I’d forgotten my wallet in my despricity to escape.  By the time I got back, my freedom had been revoked.

My captor would also let me have freedom for social situations — when a friend or colleague started talking to me about things that whatever was controlling me probably didn’t know.  Thanks a lot, body snatching creature.  Free will, but only while I’m forced to make small talk.  Maybe it is torturing me after all.  There was one time during an event like that when I thought I finally found out what, or who, was controlling me.  The moment I was alone, in public, and uncontrolled, John showed up.  

“Had enough yet?” his sickeningly smooth voice startled me from behind as he glided over to the table where I sat.  A friend and I were at a popular cafe when he happened to saunter in at the exact moment she left.  I turned to look at him, heart dropping into my stomach.  I hadn’t seen him since the night I told him to go fuck himself.  “E- Enough of what?”  Fear seeped into my voice; I couldn’t help it.  Enough of being controlled?  I know he definitely would control me given the chance, but I thought he’d be doing so much more to me if it really is him.   “Oh come on, seriously?” he sneered.  “Surely you’ve been evicted from our apartment by now.  You bought it with my money, didn’t you?”  He chuckled menacingly, “Face it darling, you need me.”

Oh thank god; he’s not the one controlling me.  Feeling a bit more confident knowing that and the fact that I was currently in control of myself, I gave an amused sounding sneer before shooting him a steely glare.  “No, I don’t.  I’m doing just fine without you and I don’t plan on ever needing anything from you ever again.”  I loved the way his smugness immediately vanished.  Unfortunately, it was quickly replaced with rage.  I braced myself, knowing he would undoubtedly yell something stupid at me and make a big fucking scene.  He stayed silent, and that scared me more than the first option.

My eyes shot open to find him standing completely frozen and almost limp like a standing zombie.  Or a puppet.  In less than a second, I was on my knees in the booth, peering over the top at every possible person to see if anyone had anything to do with it.  I know if it’s not John then it might not even be a person, but I was desperate at that point.  Even as he wandered out the door in a daze, I followed him, excusing myself from the meal.  He looked hollow, almost — drifting into a crowded sidewalk out of sight.  Is that how I look when I’m controlled?

Suddenly, I felt almost a magnetic tug from above.  No!  No, no, no!  Shit!  It’s coming back for me!  I left the cafe, and I don’t think that’s what my puppet master wanted.  Before I could get a foot out in front of me to run, my muscles were tugged out of my control.  Thoughts that weren’t my own drifted into my head, telling me that I could stop worrying about John — he was taken care of for the foreseeable future.  That’s happened a few different times.  I think it’s some sort of message from my captor.  Usually they’re stupid, but I do agree with letting them handle John.

I tried to get away the next several times I woke up uncontrolled, but my captor found me every. Single. Time.  They must have had some way to track me down; how awful is that?  By then, I’d pretty much given up hope of escaping.  I’d just have to wait it out.  Whatever’s controlling me has to get bored of it eventually.

Months into this strange existence, I started to feel like I was being watched.  My captor certainly was not getting bored yet.  As time went on, I only became more and more aware of the thing controlling me.  Whenever I thought I was alone, someone would be watching.  They’re always here.  Don’t they have anything better to do? I thought with disdain.  What if this is a lifetime deal?  Will I have to live watching my own life play out in front of me until I die?  That- That can’t be it.  This can’t be the rest of my life, it can’t.  All I have left is looking out of my own eyes like a window, watching things happen around me like I’m seeing someone else.  Like I’m no one, like I’m nothing.  I can’t stand being like this, and I can’t even be angry or sad about it because I’m always trapped.

Eight long frustrating months passed.  Sometimes, when I woke up late at night when the thing wasn’t controlling me, I’d reminisce about my life before all this.  There wasn’t much to reminisce about, though.  My life already sucked, but at least then I could still make decisions.  I had at least a little control over what happened to me, though honestly, it wasn’t much.  Sitting on the edge of my bed in a sobbing mess is one of the best things I can have now.  I can finally have emotions besides the ones that are stuck in my head every goddamn day of my awful fucking life.  The doors to the balcony creaked open, but I barely had time to look up at them before my muscles were taken from me.  If I knew my captor was there, I would’ve been begging rather than crying.  Though, I bet I’d be crying either way.

Thoughts that weren’t mine came into my head, but this time they came with a new sensation.  A sort of.. calmness that I hadn’t felt in years washed over me like rain after a drought.  It was soothing, though I knew it was my captor doing it.  Wait.  They’re calming me down?  They saw me crying and calmed me down?  What?  Why didn’t they let me have this before?  I thought back through the other times I wasn’t controlled.  I guess I’ve never cried in front of them before.  Suddenly, I was feeling extremely tired.  I don’t know if it’s my captor doing it or just me being tired, but I was out in less than a minute.  

From then on, my captor decided to give me that sort of peace from time to time.  It helps a bit.  I don’t mind having a break from living life; I just wish I could spend the time on something besides sitting around doing nothing in my head but watch.  The calmness changed that.  It gave me weird visions of happy places and times that I’d never seen — something to do besides nothing at all.  I want to be in control more than anything when there’s free time, but while I’m at work or dealing with traffic, I decided the weird relationship between me and my captor was mutual.  They could have my body then.  Now I use the few days I have off like vacation days.  I do whatever I want until whatever’s controlling me comes back.  Then it’s back to my head and back to work.  Life again became tolerable.  I’d space out all day, letting my body be dragged from one place to another.  Until one fateful night.

I stayed at work late.  It wasn’t my choice; it was never my choice anymore.  But suddenly, it was.  Some noisy kids were making a racket down the connecting street; there was an explosive snap, and then I could feel my limbs again.  For the first time in almost a month I felt truly alive again!  I got the suspicion that this wasn’t an intentional release, and I could practically feel the presence of my captor nearby.  Taking the small chance I had, I fled down the empty street to the parking garage and my car.  If I could just reach it before I was taken over, I might be able to escape.  Despite liking the time alone to myself, I wanted it to happen on my terms, not my captor’s.

As I raced through the now eerily quiet sidewalk, I felt the thing getting closer, rapidly gaining distance on me despite running at my fastest.  I hadn’t been afraid of it in a long time, but I was starting to now.  At the last second, I dodged into an opening in the parking garage ahead, hoping to lose whoever or whatever was chasing me.  Up until that point, I could chalk up the 'feeling their otherworldly presence' thing to paranoia or delusion, but a few moments after I darted into the parking lot, a new factor made my hair stand on end.  I could hear it breathing.  Echoed breaths flooded the concrete structure, seemingly coming from everywhere at once.  Now I was more terrified of my captor than I had ever been before.

Overwhelmed, I let out a terrified scream as the breathing grew closer.  It's going to catch me, I realized in horror, and I'll never have control again!  Realizing it would take me far too long to find my car in the lot, I abandoned it and rushed out the back entrance, desperate for a busy street of some sort.  If I could slip into a crowd, whatever's rushing around invisibly probably wouldn't be able to find me.  At least they wouldn't have a clear shot at getting my body back.  Maybe if I put up a long enough chase, it'll get tired and find someone else to control instead.

Unfortunately, that plan was very short-lived.  The street in that direction was a dead end.  I scrambled into an alley, which was also a dead end, hoping that it was possible to hide from whatever's coming for me.  I stood trembling in fear as I felt and heard the thing getting closer.  It must've seen me hide down there, because it wasn't long before I could feel its presence at the entrance to the alley.  I'm trapped with no way out now.  I'll never have free will again.  Might as well put up a fight while I still can, right?  

There was a trashed glass bottle on the ground beside me, and I scooped it up in haste as I felt my captor inch closer.  With a quick swing, I shattered the back end of the bottle against the wall to my right, creating a rudimentary weapon.  "Don't fucking touch me!" I cried out with all the fury I could muster, "I know you're here!  I could hear you breathing in the parking garage."  The thing, whatever it was, stopped its advance, so I continued, voice growing a little stronger.  "What are you?!  What do you want from me?!"  I swung my shattered bottle violently through the air in hopes to deter the thing from coming any closer.

My aggression seemed to be working as far as I could tell.  My captor had backed up a ways to the alleyway entrance.  It's still hard to tell how much of an advantage I actually have, though.  I can't see the thing I'm trying to fight.  For all I know, it might have just stepped back to have a good laugh at me before taking my body again.  Maybe it realized that I'd have to go out that way eventually, and it’s just sitting there waiting to grab me once I tried to escape.  As I thought through a possible way out of there that didn't involve my immediate re-capture, I heard a chilling cracking sound.  It was like a mini earthquake.  The pavement in front of the alley split open, and soon half the parking garage crumbled to rubble before my eyes.  My heart thundered in my ears, and I was dangerously close to passing out in fright.

At that point, I was at my wits' end.  I assumed I was about to be torn apart just like the metal and concrete structure before me.  I braced myself for the worst, but was startled out of it by a very loud yelp of pain.  Looking back over at the garage, I gasped in confusion and utter horror, dropping my bottle to the ground.  A few truckloads of blood were spattered over the entire side of the parking garage.  Sitting in the middle of it was my captor, now fully visible.  It.. no wait.. she looked like a person.  Her blonde hair shone under the dim city lights, and her pale face paled even more as she slowly glanced up from her cut hands to look at me.  She looked like a person, but she was taller than almost every single building I could see.  It was too much, way too much.  This was my puppet master?  She was controlling me?  I slowly backed up to the furthest point I could, flinching as I hit the wall behind me.  Whoever, whatever she is, she could easily kill me with only a few fingers.  How can something like her even exist?

"Please, don't-" I choked on a sob before I finished my sentence.  What use was it to beg for my life?  She'd already stolen it from me.  I watched as her eyes went wide with.. fear?  It couldn't be.  She was probably just surprised that I'd spoken to her since she'd been invisible the whole time.  How did she even get this far into the city without absolutely demolishing everything in her path?  It looked like she was going to say something, but stopped as her injuries tensed with pain.  The air around her wavered like a mirage or exhaust.  One moment she was there, hunched over beside the blood-covered remains of the garage, and the next moment, she was gone.  All the gore disappeared along with her, but the destruction remained.  At first I thought she'd gone invisible again, but I realized that even the sensation of her presence was gone.  She'd simply vanished into thin air.

I stood in the alleyway for a long while after my surprisingly human-looking tormentor disappeared, still shaking with fear though she was long gone.  Finally, a car horn from somewhere in the city startled me out of my stupor.  In a daze, I trudged over to my car, which was thankfully parked near the edge of the garage and hadn't been close in the giant's crater of destruction.  Once I climbed in and let the car door slam behind me, it was as if all my emotions suddenly felt the need to re-appear at once.  I curled up in my seat, bawling in a mix of fear and anger and relief.  Why has that behemoth of a person been controlling me, and how?  I've managed to keep control of my body, but at what cost?  Will she return to take back control, or just end my life entirely?  She hurt herself in anger at me.  Surely she’ll be back for revenge.  My heart missed a beat as I realized just how helpless I really was in this situation.  I’ll die if she tries to hurt me!  Even if I don’t die, I doubt I’ll ever have control over myself as long as I live.  I’ll never feel my body ever again! By the time I stopped crying, I was dead tired.  It was two in the morning, I'd just been hunted down like a wild animal, and I was realy fucking sick of fearing for my life.  With grim determination, I started up my car and headed back home.  There's no point in delaying the inevitable.  I'm dead inside and out and I really, really just want somewhere safe to go.  But I have nowhere left.  My parents' house is a plethora of nightmares in itself.  John's place.. only in his dreams.  I guess I could sleep in my car, but I'm afraid of either getting a ticket or getting broken into.  And finally, there's the mansion I had been gifted by my captor.  There's really only one option here.  My only hope is to bet that with an almost human appearance, my captor also has almost human emotions.  She did take pity on me once before, right?  If I could just get her to sympathize with me somehow — get her to recognize how awful she's been — maybe, just maybe, I could have my own life back.

Rings of Power Season 2, Episode 4 Thoughts

Random thoughts while watching the episode, not a review.

Spoilers below!!!

The depiction of the Gray Havens remind me a bit of Thomas Kinkade paintings.

A wide angle, dramatic shot of the elves traveling - shout out to the Eregion travel scenes from the film trilogy.

So the Axa Bridge is out… I've been in this position SO many times in LOTRO, looking down over the edge of a bridge that is broken in half, with nowhere to go and no place to cross over.

Nenya gives Galadriel visions of danger when the party considers going through the Barrow Downs. As I suspected, the writers must prefer the theory that Galadriel's magic powers come from the Ring, and not from her studying under Melian and her natural strength as the sister of Finrod Felagund. Most likely, this is the reason why Galadriel has not come across as very magical in the series so far.

The interactions between Elrond and Galadriel become amusing when you consider the fact that she is his mother-in-law in the books.

When I saw Tom Bomabdil from behind, I thought he was a woman at first, and I was already shipping him with the Stranger.

Does Tom Bombadil attract toxic trees wherever he makes his dwelling? Do the trees become toxic after being forced to listen to his singing?

I'M NOBODY --- IS THIS AN EMILY DICKINSON REFERENCE!!!!!

I like the costume/physical appearance of the Stoor matron, but I think some of the ears on the Stoors are clownishly big. Also… Nobody's hair.

I hope LOTRO puts in a hobbit village in the desert. It looks like a wonderful place to explore... and break your legs by jumping off roofs and balconies.

I'm not sure I like the concept of Tom leaving the Withywindle to go to Rhun. To me, having him explore Middle-earth and eventually settling down in the Withywindle makes more sense.

I like how Tom refers to the stars as being new.

The elves refer to the Barrow Downs as being an ancient graveyard… This would refer to the the region being used as a graveyard by the Edain in the First Age. However, the barrows would not become haunted until the Witch-king of Angmar sent evil spirits there in the middle part of the Third Age.

The Barrow wights are impervious to the elf weapons… That's because you need Westernesse damage type, not Beleriand. Now if you want to fight spiders and ancient evil, then Beleriand is what you need. (LOTRO reference)

Since Galadriel has seen the light of the Trees, I think she would technically be able to see the true forms of the wights - the spirits that are possessing the corpses. But the elves do not seem to be very magical in Rings of Power.

I am coming to the conclusion that this show likes sea creatures and things with tentacles to the same extent that LOTRO is obsessed with spiders.

Sûzat… Nice reference to the true name of the Shire.

Nice image of the two ents looking like the Two Trees.

Is Theo Lord of Pelargir???? Does that mean that his dad is nobility, and that Arondir knows who he is? I think I may have missed something.

Orcs stepping on flowers as they march… Good touch. If my memory is correct, I think Tolkien wrote a line about orcs/goblins going out of their way to stomp on flowers in either The Hobbit or LOTR.

Galadriel making a dramatic stand against the orcs would make SO much more sense if the writers had used the theory that this character is insanely powerful and magical even without Nenya. Otherwise, it seems like a very stupid action on her part.

A STAR SHINES UPON THE HOUR OF MEETING…. SCREAMING CRYING SHRIEKING LIKE A NAZGUL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[a-room-of-my-own]

this is very indiscreet but anon you sound shallow af. fucking random strangers so you can play pretend to be in love with someone you know damn well doesn't respect you isn't the win you think it is. no one is missing out by refusing casual sex with men and it is disrespectful to imply you are missing out when you stop whoring yourself out for male attention. find passions, find hobbys, make some real connections with good people ffs

Yeeeaaah I understand what you mean but there’s no need to be aggressive. I do believe men don’t know how to have a casual relationship without fundamentally disrespecting the woman. As much as I love Before Sunrise, it’s just a movie 😅

But wanting affection and connection even for a few days is not « whoring yourself out » and I don’t’ think you should even use that vocabulary, even if that’s what it felt like for you when you did it. Because you’re putting the blame on yourself in a way that is very misogynistic. There’s also no relation between wanting that and being empty to the point of having no other hobby. And if there is we’re talking about someone with serious attachment issues who would be the ideal victim for an abuser.

You can also have a casual or short relationship with someone without seeing this as « fucking » (which sounds like what a disrespectful man would say). Every relationship starts a bit casually anyway. When you start something you never know if it’s going to last and sometimes after a few days or weeks you understand it was nice but will go nowhere.

I suppose you were hurt but please, be kind to yourself and others. Looking at yourself with the eyes of a misogynistic man will only sink your self esteem deeper.

This is going to be random, but I wanted to say something.

For some time shipping hasn't been fun for me, and it's even worse since I enjoy crack-ships and other uncommon couples. When I started watching Stranger Things I liked the idea of Madwheeler, and I also started reading your fanfiction The Pact before even having a Tumblr account.

Today I found out about you, and when I saw that you're a writer for more famous ships like Byler but also made an amazing Madwheeler piece, it really made me smile. It's just somehow refreshing seeing someone having fun with different character dynamics and stuff.

It made me think "Damn, that's a person I can admire.". It made me somehow believe I can have fun with this again. So thank you. I hope you keep writing and sharing your ideas out there. Be weel!

Hey there @abajurapagado!! You have no idea how much this means to me!! 🥹 That I could help you in any way have a better time in the fandom and enjoy it! That's amazing.

That, after all, is what fandom is for first and foremost: Enjoyment.

That being said, I have always been a person who has written for and been a fan of smaller ships, non-canon ships, unpopular ships even in very small fandoms. I just tend to gravitate towards what interests me. In the past I've been a part of the Turn fandom (I liked a gay pairing-townhull- that was very much non-canon), Star Wars (reylo, gingerrose), OFMD (izzy x lucius), The Morning Show (stella x cory). Most of those are all very much non-canon 😂.

And this is the first fandom where I've seen many people be so staunchly devoted to "canon". It's something I haven't come across in my other fandom travels.

But, in the end, it doesn't matter what the pairing is, if it makes you happy and you find the dynamic interesting than I say engage with it! Even if it makes others side eye you or not be happy with it. It doesn't matter. I'm very much a ship and let ship type of person. And in my Star Wars and Shadow and Bone days, have been in support of some very unliked pairings, but I've tried to never to let it stop me from having a good time. I'm here for the dynamics and drama and I tend to lean towards certain dynamics because of that!

Byler is the first pairing I've ever been a fan of, besides Reylo, that is "mainstream" or has a big following. Actually, as a past Reylo, I see a lot of the same thing happening with Byler....people saying that the followers are delusional, where if you watched the SW films...know how that all ended up 🙃

But also, my other biggest SW ship, gingerrose, is a random ship that was built around 3 pieces of dialogue and a finger bite deleted scene lmao....and they've ended up being a dynamic I actually like a lot better and read about more than I ever did Reylo. I think that you can ship multiple things in the same fandom and it's okay if one of them is a little different, unpopular, or people think it's weird. There is no reason for people to be offended by what other people ship. That is such a strange concept to me.

Madwheeler, to me, is interesting. I am VERY much aware it's a "crackship" or whatever. I do not expect anything from canon. That's not the point. It actually is freeing to have something be completely for fun, and I don't have those emotional ties like I do byler or I did with reylo, where I really wanted it to happen it canon. I think the actors have good chemistry, I think they are for sure very paralleled to one another, and I think that it's a ship that has a lot to unpack. I don't give a flying fuck if it's not canon or out of nowhere or if some people think it's "ick". Doesn't bother me. I am interested in the drama, I like to headcanon them both as bisexual which is fun, and I live for the tension of "hating" someone and having sexual tension. It's good shit, and it's SO EASY to do with their dynamic. It practically writes itself.

I love Byler for different reasons: the best friends to lovers trope, the sweetness of it, the angst, the coming of age. Will is my favorite character and I just love his story.

Both pairings offer SO MANY things, but they also are very different. And it allows me as a writer to explore different tropes, different facets of these fictional character's personalities, and as there is always a little bit of myself in my writing, explore some different emotions etc.

And I personally believe that exploring new dynamics in addition to my main one, has kept me more active in the ST fandom and byler community. It's kept me feeling creative, and keeps it fun as we're waiting for season 5 crumbs and filming to start etc! Fanfiction is very much meant for exploring things that don't happen in canon and exploring character dynamics that speak to you personally. Imo, it's the entire point of it. So anywho, I'm glad you're enjoying The Pact, and I am so happy that my tiny self has stoked the fire a little bit for your Stranger Things love. I hope you have tons of fun from here are on out!! ♡♡♡♡♡

[collectivecloseness]

Well that sure was depressing lol, I mean kinds obvious it's not joe running the acc but damn bro lemme live my fantasy

I mean tbf the channel has posted videos not posted anywhere else, like the 100K one way after the movie came out. So Joe at least definitely filmed that not as promo/content for the film.

And like I’m sure that wouldn’t have been something he had to do, like contractually wise. He did it for funny commitment to the bit, or just because he wanted to, or for fans, or many reasons.

And the community page posted things quite a bit, inc one post that was like new exciting video soon, and then months later was like hey no more updates sorry guys.

So like it was enjoyable to have the channel up and interactive. And we know Joe Keery was at least making new #KurtKunkleContent for the fans which is very nice.

Who knows who actually ran it. If he did own it, or just for a bit, or just occasionally for fun, or made his own things then sent them to the channel runner etc. I could definitely see those random updates being something he would do lmao.

Even his tiktok started posting things again (maybe reposts I can’t rmbr) when Spree started reaching its height of popularity like a year after it came out haha. It definitely was cool and funny and immersive to have the accounts irl out there in the world lmao.

Also the wording from ‘Finn’ was suspicious. “I’m not famous”, “I’m not important”, like okay, but who/what are you then?? If it was really an announcement of a fake person bc they felt guilty it would’ve been a little more specific saying this definitely was not real, and again, how would they have got certain posts up there like the 100k video of it was just a random person with nothing to do with the film. And if it was just someone who worked on it but not Joe, they probably would have said that. Either way it would have been more clear and less vague, especially to not have people theorise/still have hope, I think. Especially if it was a pr thing.

If it was a team who worked on the film as well, they would probably be more specific, and I’m not sure if there would have been a test stream if it was a professional farewell. And, out of nowhere live streaming, introducing a random character in a very cryptic way, then bouncing, is something that draws people in, not wraps things up, is importantly what I’m trying to say. Obviously we just can’t be sure until A) we get an update, or B) we get no updates, lol!

I mean it would be v funny if Finn Wolfhard stole Joe Keery’s phone while they’re filming Stranger Things and decided to prank all his fanbase from another piece of work lmfao, but that’s what I’m saying, no one knows what this is!!

Also because there have been pranks on this channel before. Like the ‘Spree 2’ trailer on April Fools day/Kurt’s birthday. And posts that have lead to nowhere eventually, again, the community post about an important update that never came.

But either way it was lovely to have. They’ve updated the channel description to “Peace out!” But I really hope they don’t delete the channel because it’s a nice thing to have up <3

Also s/o to any of you who were in chat because we probably read each other’s messages lmaoo. Just Kurtsworld96 bringing us all together ❤️🌏😁✌️

Me reading a random person's from South Korea chart

I see so many people reading charts online of random people. I can't even call these people astrologers because I end up disappointed with what they say during the reading. Maybe I'm the same so imma give this a try only this one time because I don't want people to think I do this for free. This is the chart of someone born in south Korea. I don't know if she still lives there.Hopefully the birthday is correct because it was commented with just numbers and not November ...It's easier to accidentally press the wrong number and that can waste everyone's time. Later on she confirmed it is correct. I told her to give me any house of her choice for me to read.

She chose the 7th so let's go.

She wanted to know about marriage initially and her chart definitely shows marriage. For multiple reasons the Saturn in her 7th house sidereal chart is an easy giveaway. It's even conjunct Jupiter both are dead giveaways.

Her tropical chart shows sun mercury conjunction in the 1st house aspecting the 7th house.

Saturn moon conjunction in the 7th house so again tons of planets are giving energy to the 7th house of marriage, spouse and fiance.

The moon chart has a sun mercury conjunction in the 7th house.

I read a female's chart one time and she had a similar conjunction different signs but she never got married only engaged. She was in her 50s when I read that chart. This female's from south korea chart for sure shows her at least having a fiance in her lifetime. The Jupiter Saturn conjunction will obviously make a marriage situation occur though.With so many planets influencing her marriage life. Most likely she will be married more than once especially because of Saturn. I'll explain why more so at the end. Now that her chart easily shows she will get married in this lifetime I'll focus on her sidereal, then moon, then tropical chart individually.

Oh by the way if her chart easily shows marriage in this lifetime then it's a good indication she won't die before she gets married or engaged. Very important because I see people on social media make suicidal posts. This South Korean woman will survive lots of issues with depression etc. She could use that as a way to feel optimistic in her bad moments in life. Be like hey at least I'll live long enough to see marriage.

SIDEREAL

The 7th house represents; interactions with other people particularly with strangers in public, it shows who we interact with the most, spouse/fiance, legal contracts, business partnerships etc.

First I have to breakdown the planets in her 7th house. I see a Jupiter Saturn conjunction. Saturn conjunct Jupiter in Taurus 7th house. Jupiter represents optimism, shows what gives us new opportunities in life that's why it expands the significance of the house it is in. Hence why it represents optimism. Imagine being stuck at a job you hate. You will out of nowhere get excited if you get a new job opportunity. Whereas Saturn is delays, limitations, restrictions, step relationships, it shows what makes us uncomfortable and bored. The discomfort Saturn brings is for various reasons like someone being way older than you so you both can not relate. I don't know why but wherever Saturn goes it just brings like a bad vibe or negative energy with things or people the house Saturn is in. Saturn also shows what we administer. It shows people who will be strict with us. Saturn shows what we have to become responsible for.

This conjunction basically delays the success, optimism, new opportunities that Jupiter in the 7th house brings. This conjunction in her 7th house will make her not have optimism from marriage. What I mean by that is the thought of marriage or being engaged won't excite her. This is the reason why Saturn will delay or create a fear of her getting married.When she does get married though issues with marriage will occur during her Saturn antardashas. She would end up being bored or not wanting to be around her spouse. In fact I remember Jada Smith having a similar Saturn placement in her sidereal chart. The Saturn Jupiter conjunction in the 7th house would make her limit interacting with strangers especially in public. This obviously makes someone become very introverted because why else wouldn't she want to interact with others?She will feel and it does happen too. Interactions with strangers become a let down. She won't even feel or get excited to interact with strangers. If she was to start a business. She wouldn't have that many business partners because Saturn will limit that.

This conjunction is in the Taurus sign of speech so that means she isn't even interested in speaking with strangers, or business partners. Another reason why she has a hard time getting along with them. The conversations become an issue. In her saturn antardashas conversations with the spouse become limited. I'm assuming will and Jada Smith have this same problem. Of course you may be wondering yes this conjunction will delay her from getting married. The time frame can vary though like if she gets married or engaged in her 40s 30s etc.

Really the delay frame ends age 27 onwards from my research but when exactly that's when an astrologer has to look and see. For example like even without me trying hard I wouldn't be surprised if in 2024She meets her future spouse July or August 2024. Most likely it's in south Korea, through the introduction of her mother, or the spouse surprisingly is in her home environment. The home environment as in the spouse may actually end up inside of her house for various reasons like to fix something. She might live in an apartment and the spouse suddenly moves in as a neighbor.

How I'm seeing this is because Saturn rules her 3rd house of neighbors, cousins, younger siblings.

Which means those people might also introduce her to the spouse. It might just mean her spouse is an actual neighbor only her would know and this actually a pretty good date to find out. 3rd house represents social media too and short distance traveling so what if she just meets the spouse online or whiles she is catching the train.

The most likely scenario is she meets the spouse in her home environment/neighborhood, online like through dating apps, or when she is walking or catching the train. It's gonna be in South Korea as well. Saturn also rules her 4th house of homes and mother so homes and vehicles are connected to the spouse. This means when she meets her spouse next year most likely she lives in the same household or shares vehicles with that person. It's gonna be her spouse owning those things.

For her to know who is her spouse from a career perspective. Around the time she meets this person. This future spouse will be going or at least just went through a career change a month before they meet each other. Maybe that spouse loses or gets a new job. The spouse's work environment is going to be about 1st house things like self employment, freelance work, or work being about the physical body. The work is about Saturn in Taurus so it can be work where a person has to use machines on the body particular the head. A barber or a cosmetologist comes to mind. A fashion stylist is a slight possibility but I don't think so.

Her Saturn is in krittika nakshatra so her spouse can be doing work required to managing or protecting a person's body like a security or a bodyguard. Her spouse is gonna be through a maturation phase on the head and body so her future spouse might be growing grey hair around that time.

Now when Jupiter will start bringing optimism and stop the limitations of the 7th house things is when she reaches age 27 onwards or goes into her Jupiter antardashas. This is when tons of people will want to start interacting with her. Jupiter antardashas might be the time period she starts, getting engaged or married. For sure she would be enjoying marriage and find it as a great time to be around the spouse.

These two planets rule certain houses so now I have to read the planets individually. This is the beautiful part about a Saturn Jupiter conjunction because we can read the planets individually,and just remember that Saturn delays the results Jupiter would bring.

[moonmeg]

Reading through your au pair stuff and you sound very harsh towards the girl, acusing her of gaslighting you and making your life so miserable that you need to get out immediately. Four years ago she was still losing her baby teeth. She’s a kid. Think about it from her perspective. First, she’s fourteen-which is miserable no matter what the situation. Fourteen year olds are just like that. Second, she probably feels like you’re being forced on her- you said it’s your job to befriend and look after the kids? She probably feels like that’s all entirely fake and doesn’t want friendship if it’s an obligation on your part. Your friendship feels like a lie to her, most likely. Third, are you essentially a stranger in their house? Like, did you know her before or does the family make their kids live with random ass people they host? That’s a HUGE source of stress for kids, especially young teens. I don’t doubt that she can be bitchy but also, this cannot be an easy situation for her to deal with. And she’s dealing with it using an undeveloped brain that still struggles to make the right decisions socially.

It absolutely is a stressful situation for her too, no doubt. She told me so more than once herself and I feel bad for her in this aspect. In many situations I would've reacted the same as she does right now. I know she is a kid (she's 11 btw not 14) and I know having a stranger in your house whose friendship seems forced on you is not nice.

It's not her fault her parents keep dragging strangers in.

It however doesn't excuse her being rude and mean to the people around her. She treats her other family like this too. Everyone around her keeps saying that her being rude and aggressive... it's her character. She's always been like that and only sometimes is not.

I am harsh, oh I definitely am harsh on her (on tumblr). Because this has been going on for months without change. I've been patient with her because I am fully aware she is a kid and she is in a tough age and I can understand many of the situations she got mad at me and for many of those I do listen to her and do apologize. I still treat her with kindness and respect, despite how tired and mad I am at her for other things, because I don't just want to give her up.

I draw the line at trying to convince me I am in the wrong for doing my job (which also includes telling the parents about her behavior etc.) by just making stuff up out of nowhere and at blaming me for all fights she has with her parents. I have been enduring it because I thought she is young, she is just a kid, she'll grow. But I have reached my limit. My posts here regarding my situation with her are filled with a lot of emotion and bias since I write and post them shortly after the situation happened and so they sound and are harsh. Is it right of me? Perhaps not.

I don't want to claim myself to be a good au pair - I'm far off from that by own fault of mine.

I don't want to claim I have been flawless these 5 months. I am fully aware the things that are required of me can become annoying and are sometimes even things I wouldn't do on other people. I am fully aware this girl is probably just so tired of having au pairs around and just wants to be alone.

Nothing you said in the ask is wrong and I am totally with you there. I'm not searching for trouble or a fight. Not in the host family, not with anyone else.

You can think of all this and of me as you want. At this point I am just too tired caring about what other people think or have to say. Be it family, friends or strangers on the internet.

GRABS YOU VIOLENTLY GRABS UOU VIOLENTLY GRABS YOU VIOLENTLY GRABS

Anywy

SO BASICALLY

We have our three main characters

Yuki

Oro

Lennox

Originally this was gonna be like

a multiplanet thing but then i decided thats too hard and has too much uneeded detail

but imagine the setting being similar to like raya and the last dragon or wings of fire

where theres distinct parts of the area/contienr/whatever and they’re all impossibly different from eachother from a scientific stand point

Also there’s these monsters called the shaydo and they’re kinda like over powered ghosts

hard to explain, but they’re basically the big bad and caused a bunch of cchaos and now everyone kinda got more racist (as in some races/species blamed others for the reason the shaydo came into being)

so now that i gave you a dollar store world build, let’s get on with the plot

so we have our main character Oro who’s a wood elf and a warlock who has hardcore main character syndrome and kinda just wakes up with the thought of “Man I would totally be the oerfect guy to just go out and stop these evil forces!”

because y’know

an unathletic, illiterate, spoiled brat is the perfect person to go and stop an unknown force of evil haha slay

so he decides to go to the middle of butt fuck no where. literally. with no prompt. no single clue. he just,,, goes there,,,

so in the middle of this desert place thinking highly of himself that he’s just gonna magically have the most epic showdown of all time and win

the obligatory LARGE SAND MONSTER (woooo!!! Yeahhhhh!!! Sand monster!!!!!!!!!!!) appears and now he’s running for his life from the obligatory large sand monster

anyway while he cries and screams like a pathetic baby (because he never thought to yknow. use magic. bc he’s a warlock meaning he could get his demon sugar daddy to help him out, but whatever)

a perfectly placed and conveniently timed stranger comes in and rescues him from doom

he doesnt even get to see this mystery person because he… passes out from shock… (sigh) okay then… uhm,,,

So while he’s out the mystery person is just poking him like

(fast doodle ignore the poor anatomy)

Ofc our mc has to get up evebtually and when he does he immediately blames his savior as working against him and other random nonsensical accusations

and of course they’re kinda pissed because they simply could have not saved oro from the mega death worm fish but,,, okay,,,

eventually they calm him down and introduce themselves as Yuki (a name which they made up on the spot)

Oro (instead of being a decent guest) begins judging and questioning Yuki’s appearance (which Yuki ignores because tbh they’re kind of tired)

Yuki asks him why he’s out in but fuck nowhere and Oro goes on a whole hero monologue

After he finishes Yuki laughs at him (rightfully so) and explains his plan is stupid and “if you cant punch it or reason with it, then you’re not gonna make any progress”

yuki then offers Oro to stay for the night with them and their old guy

Oro agrees and then decides to get Yuki on board to go with him on this mindless adventure

Yuki agrees only for the reason that Oro might kill himself because of his stupidity and lack of knowledge

Together the two set out to go to slmewhere where they COULD get information about the shaydo and maybe how to defeat them

there they meet Lennox

a really big dude with long hair who i accidentally made to look like jesus in the original character sketch

Lennox is one of those silly racist people and openly states his distrust of Yuki countless times, not because of the shaydo or anything

but because he just hates shape shifters and finds them dishonest

As Yuki tries to drag oro away so that they could go find info on the shaydo, lennox inserts himself into the group because he doesnt want oro to get screwed over by Yuki

so now we have a group of people who kinda have different motives and whatever, two of them trying to make sure oro doesn’t kill himself and oro expressing that he’s going to defeat the shaydo

anyway im writing too much so im gonna kinda put bullet points to sum up what happens before the whole ending stuffs

The whole group obviously comes closer together because life or death situations hehehe

Yuki qnd Lennox get extremely close because they both have very similar traumatic experiences

Oro (while getting to know the other two more) slowly grows more spiteful because they’re making great progress in finding out how to defeat the shaydo and his demon sugar daddy is basically feeding this hate into his head about how they’re going to “steal his fame” and “take full credit”

Eventually the big cool final battle thing happens and uhh…

oro decides to get a bit silly with it and uhm

kinda screws everyone over hehe

he rlly said “if i cant have peetah no one can”

and uh yeah

this is still being torn apart and mashed together and the plot makes no sense

so please ask many questions because the more you ask the better i can make the plot make sense for my reasers 🥺🥺🥺

OOHHHHHHH THIS IS COOL

Do you have any drawings or sketches of them?

(ALERT. WARNING. OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THE FOLLOWING POST ARE NOT MEANT TO INSINUATE I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO USE TONE TAGS ARE BAD OR HAVE BAD INTENTIONS. I AM SIMPLY POINTING OUT SOME OF MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH THEM AND HOW THEY WORK, OR RATHER DO NOT WORK, IN AN EXAGGERATEDLY ANGRY/LOUD MANNER AT A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, NOT A SPECIFIC PERSON OR PERSONS OR INCIDENT, AND IT WASN'T EVEN THE MAIN POINT OF THE POST I WAS ORIGINALLY WRITING WHICH WAS JUST ABOUT SOME ANNOYING OVER-COMMENTED STUFF ON MY POST. ALERT. WARNING)

i am still pleased and amazed at the amount of people on my tone indicator parantheticals post who AREN'T being weird and aggro, but i will say. while i got tired of the aggro ones the moment the first one showed up i have also grown tired of the "this is just tumblr tags/congrats you just reinvented tumblr tags" observation. it has been made many times, i can never tell if it's a teasing joke or if they're seriously like "umm dumbass this is the same thing" (because of course they are not paired with any indication of intent, such as a word encased in a pair of parentheses, because for some reason being overfamiliar with strangers on the internet has become very normalized, and they just expect that if they say things to people they have never met that the person they say that to will be able to tell whether they are kidding or trying to insult them, which is highly variable per person) and either way it's like...

i mean. yeah. on tumblr, that is the same thing as what you could use the tags for

but tumblr isn't a messaging app

even its in-built dms do not have tags

if you are using discord if you type a # it would prompt you to pick a channel you are referring to

The Primary Location You Would Use Tone Indicators Is In Conversation With Others And Tumblr Is Technically A Blogging Platform

also a bunch of people are like "ummm or you could just put it in the SENTENCE like a NORMAL PERSON" and first of all shut up. secondly nowhere in the post did i say that i specifically would rather someone use random parantheticals instead of just stating their intent in the actual sentence, i said i would prefer parantheticals over highly abbreviated tone tags. obviously i would prefer people just say properly what they mean, that is literally what i do when i have a genuine question to ask, i don't do "what do you mean (genuine) (sincere question) (confused)" i say "sorry i'm a little confused, what do you mean by xyz?". literally did not fucking say that i think parantheticals would be better than just saying what you actually mean to begin with IN the initial question. however THIRDLY sometimes you just fucking have adhd or the conversation is fast and you don't think to phrase it carefully. and in that situation you might realize after you already sent the message that it's ambiguous what you meant or if you were sincere, so you send like "(JOKE)" or "genuine question" or if you make a reference "(you know like xyz meme/show/game)" immediately afterwards so people know and can respond appropriately. and i would so much rather see people spell the fucking thing out instead of saying /j or /gen or god forbid /ref (WHAT!!! ARE YOU FUCKING REFERENCING!!! YOU CAN'T JUST SAY IT'S A REFERENCE AND LEAVE IT AT THAT THAT DOESN'T HELP!!! WHY IS THAT EVEN A TONE TAG!!! YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN ME ANY CONTEXT FOR IT, THIS IS NOT A TONE TO INDICATE, IT DOESN'T INDICATE ANYTHING, I COULD PROBABLY TELL FROM THE PHRASING TO BEGIN WITH THAT IT WAS SOME KIND OF REFERENCE ANYWAY, YOU HAVE GIVEN ME ZERO INFORMATION AAUUAUAAAAGGGGHHH the fucking autistic person who would not be able to tell that you were making a reference without the tag would probably also not be able to tell what the goddamn joke was supposed to be! i AM that autistic person sometimes!!! you cannot just /ref your way out of that if you are ACTUALLY TRYING to HELP AUTISTIC PEOPLE then make it clear you can be ASKED TO CLARIFY THINGS and then SUCK IT UP AND EXPLAIN THE JOKE EVEN IF IT MAKES IT LESS FUNNY!!! and this is entirely specific to Me who has never once wanted someone to use tone tags even when i do ask for clarification on something, but if you don't want to ruin your joke by explaining it and i already Understood that it was a joke, the /ref and or /j you put on it is actually. equivalent. to explaining the joke and ruining it...... because in this scenario i knew it was a joke already...)

ahem. anyway. i think the people who say "ummm orrr you could just bake it into the sentence :/" do not realize they are the ones being stupid while calling me stupid. because of the fact that they cannot read the post, where i don't say even once that i don't agree with them, because i am talking about something else, which is that if you gave me a choice between tone tags or tone parantheticals i would choose parantheticals

conversely i'm NOT tired of the elcor comparison, even a little bit, even though that one was also made a thousand times. i actually like that one a lot. i never played mass effect or anything i just think that's funny and cool. entire species that has autism... so beautiful ♡

The older I get, the more exhausted I get with people's naivety about "callouts." Nearly everyone will unquestionably believe and pass on the most obvious, easily disproven lies about anyone, without having any clue who the subject is, who the person making the accusations is, how they came by the knowledge they are passing on, and never research anything. Not only is this true of anyone you know who "always knows what's up with things like this," it's even more true with them.

It is also absurdly common for people to just straight up make up horrible things about people. Not even people they have a particular grievance with. And of course, for whatever reason, people are extra extra prone to both make up and spread the most horrible things about trans women. Like, prior to coming out as trans, I don't recall ever having to deal with any of this, but since coming out a decade ago my life has been an absolute hell as people I have never had any form of interaction with in my life have gone around claiming, amongst other things, that I...

am a cis guy pretending to be trans for some reason, am a cis woman, am a hot and popular girl in the grand hot popular girl conspiracy, am a virulent racist, am a nazi, am the leader of my own personal terrorist organization, co-lead a terror-organization with along with some particular nazi, own several newspapers, launched the career of a certain TV writer turned full-time cartoon villain, slept with said villain to get ahead in life, slept with said villain to help him get ahead in life (I think I was supposed to have received like, free proofreading in exchange or something?), spurned the affections of said villain prompting his fall to evil, am actively conspiring with some guy's mom to have him re-committed to some involuntary in-patient psychological treatment/incarceration of some sort, have a long and storied history posting things on the Something Awful forums, have a burning hatred of a good number of random strangers, as well as several people I have only ever been on the best of terms with, am this guy, am some manner of billionaire heiress, am a cop, am a CIA operative, am specifically a Brazillian cop, am being payed by George Soros to do something or other, lie at the heart of some vast conspiracy involving both DARPA and DiGRA, live in Texas, California, Washington, Brazil, England, and Russia, am some sort of "skinny little bitch," weigh over 500 lbs., have a beard that reaches the floor, have no hair whatsoever, have blue hair, have, and I quote, "breast milk sack implants," all manner of terrible horrors in place of genitals, every fetish under the sun, and I'm sure some laundry list of violent and sexual crimes along with just generally being super mean to who even knows how many people.

And I am just... as dull and unimportant as people come. I live alone with a cat in the middle of nowhere, talk to practically no one ever, don't even have... whatever people use to message people these days, and kinda just sit here minding my own business, updating this blog, designing niche little games, working with electronics, and managing my growing list of health problems. But I'm trans, see. So people make up all this crap, and people, including self-styled anti-harassment who've known me for years, and people at least pretend to take enough of this obvious nonsense seriously enough for me to be both publicly shunned, blackballed out of multiple industries, and has necessitated me to completely lock down my whole life, never share any personal details that could be used to identify me, or even share pictures of this super photogenic cat next to me, and I've still had to move to new undisclosed little boltholes more than once thanks to in-person violence.

So I don't know, maybe when you hear someone talking about how terrible someone is, rather than just assume by default that that is legit, you instead maybe make it a policy to assume someone is arbitrarily making up nasty rumors about someone, and honestly unless the subject is running for some political office you can vote for or you're contributing money to someone directly funding hate groups or something (in which case, you should still take the time to independently verify things), just sigh at how people waste their time with stuff like this, don't acknowledge it, and move on with your life.

God, it's fucking remarkable how people claim to support predstrogen and oppose transmisogyny, while still participating in transmisogynist harassment campaigns like the one against the co-host co-founder.

Like that's literally what the scandal is about. Predstrogen was the victim of years-long harassment campaign which used mass-reporting and got her account banned. And tumblr let her harassers blogs stay up while deleting her accounts. And the ceo took criticism of tumblr's transmisogynistic moderation practices as a personal insult to his self-image as a cool dude, so he has repeatedly personally justified it. Matt Mullenweg isn't the only villain here, the hate mob driving harassment against her is too.

I remember the callout posts against predstrogen, sometimes thy were outright terfs, but others justified the harassment in the same coded ways they do for every trans woman. "She was into problematic kinks or defended them, and therefore basically a pedophile sexual predator." Or "she is a transfeminist, therefore she is a transandrophobe that hates transmascs."

Like it's the same pattern of bullshit, it doesn't explicit target her identity as a trans woman, but these callouts repeatedly happen to transfem after transfem every fucking time. And they always use the same bullshit accusations that just so happen to line up with the widespread transmisogynistic image of transfems as sexual predators who oppress real wombyn.

The reason predstrogen's story resonates is because it vividly shows what it is like to be a transfem on this platform.It didn't just happen to her as an individual, It's part of a larger systemic pattern of transmisogyny.

If you participate in these transmisogynistic callout harassment even by just reblogging the callouts, you are also a villain here. And you can't claim to support predstrogen while participating in the process that drove her off the platform.

You can't condemn Matt Mullenweg when you are a willing cog in the same transmisogynistic hate machine that he is defending. The only difference between you and Mullenweg is not that you lack his bigotry, it's that you lack his millions of dollars, and the immense individual power and influence that brings.

((✄ ❝ ❞ ◑ and ✼))

It’s Munday!But some muns would still rather talk about their muses and blog canon than about themselves, so here’s a meme for the muns to answer in depth about their blogs/muses!

✄ What is an idea you originally had in mind for your muse, but ended up scrapping? Why?

You know, I had THREE names when coming up with Jonathan. The first one was Merrik. It's just a random name that doesn't hold significance but, it felt SOMEWHAT non-binary like?

The second name I had thought of was Julius. It was a name that was both feminene and masculine, so I thought it was perfect for an enby, but it just... didn't stick to be honest because I kept forgetting about the name for Jonathan.

Third and last name I thought up of was Celius. Another odd name that just came out of nowhere, but I thought it fit their 'starlight doe' title by giving them something fantasy and mystical like as far as names go. But, again I kept forgetting the name because I wasn't sure how to remember it good, so I just scrapped it.

❝ ❞ Is it easy for you to write dialog for your muse? Do their speech patterns come naturally to you while writing?

Jonathan's... difficult a little bit for me to be honest. I'm so used to writing muses that were more along the lines of timid, meek and all around just 'innocent' in a way. Writing Jonathan as a free-spirited, adventurous and loud mouthed individual is a new experience for me. I think the most I've gotten CLOSE to writing someone that was brave / courageous, confident and just free-spirited was Mary Magdalene off of my multi-muse, but she's got her own issues too as far as finding a place to belong and stay with since she also doesn't believe she's got a place in the universe.

So, I just take snippets of her character and just add it to Jonathan which feel somewhat natural, but I have to keep in mind unlike Mary, Jonathan HAS rules he has to follow and he's got to keep their mouth shut about their true identity less they get in SERIOUS trouble, so I find it hard to know when it's appropriate to say something about his true character and when it's not, but the thing with Jonathan is that they say what they want regardless because they believe they don't make a significant impact as far as their presence goes.

◑ What is a side to your muse you want to show off, but haven’t had the chance to yet?

Yeah, this might be an oddball / random trait to throw out... but Jonathan's sexual / flirtatious side. Most of the time I'm writing with characters that don't USUALLY do NSFW which is fine, but Jonathan also doesn't have many 'built up' relationships yet across all his threads which makes it harder to want to do NSFW / Smut threads because Jonathan craves being wanted and needed by someone even if it's just in the heat of the moment. I actually have a whole ass dialogue I've always wanted to write and a scene I've always wanted to write but, he's just still a stranger a lot to my mutuals characters which is fine, it just means that it'll pay off in the end.

✼ When it comes to worldbuilding, what are some ideas you’d like to explore in rp?

My favorite tropes I've always wanted to explore is his companions he'd eventually take along for the ride. Just having to essentially tell them to not fuck with the past otherwise a future might come up that shouldn't exist. I love the trope that Jonathan could eventually come across a character that's significant to the companions past and he's all like "just treat them as your friend, not your lover / family, cause if you tell them you're married to them in the future or tell them your their kid in the future, it's going to create a paradox where you possibly don't exist later on."

Plus my favorite want is for eventually for Phobane, his god to discover that Jonathan has stolen a resident from a realm and taking them on adventures alongside with them and he's gonna get MASSIVELY fucked. like REALLY not in the good way. Phobane has a VERY tight leash on Jonathan where he controls basically everything that Jonathan does or goes to. And Jonathan doesn't even have a grasp on their powers still even after three years of doing this.

But you know what my ONE want is one day? For Jonathan's familial companion to step in and DEFEND Jonathan from Phobane as Jonathan is in pain and misery and the familial character to Jonathan literally standing up to a god and protecting them from him, and Jonathan just begging for the familial character to stay away or to 'don't do this, please... leave him alone...' and that's where the toxic relationship trope of Jonathan and Phobane come in where even Jonathan is defending his abuser because Jonathan KNOWS what Phobane is capable of if he's allowed it.
