#and also stop complaining on tiktok if you are as white as me and a wall

[catwouthats]

Everyone here on Tumblr who uses things unalive and k!ll only do so to complain about people using it bc yall have never experienced the censorship of tiktok.

I got videos taking down for simply calling characters gay guys. I have to use code words to help get important and actually serious messages out on that app. I mean, sometimes I’m not careful and I get lucky, but you don’t usually get lucky if your important message actually starts to reach a shit ton of people. And you want an important message to reach a lot of people.

I know you all don’t understand because you mainly use fucking tumblr and twitter, but censorship on these other fucking apps DOES EXIST. Stop thinking you are morally superior because you have the ability and right to post what you want uncensored. Not everyone is able to do that.

And I do NOT want to hear people say “well I know many videos where they didn’t censor and it didn’t get taken down” think for five fucking seconds. Were those people white or a man or cis? If not, did the video not have that much reach?? I know you guys don’t know this but it was actually activists of color who started using those code words because they were getting so many videos taken down, and they didn’t want to get banned again. Because on tiktok the amount of followers you have actually matters if you want more people to be steadily seeing your stuff.

And when it comes to important shit you want as many people as possible listening.

Hi could I request Matt x reader

They are in their senior year of Highschool and it’s prom season.The reader is sad because she never had any romance in her life and dreams of a promposal.Matt really likes the reader and even though he doesn’t like bring attention to him he surprises the reader.

promposal || matt sturniolo

matt x fem!reader

warnings: none, fluff!

word count: 1,1k

a/n: I hope you like it and I did not ruin the idea!

I came home and tossed my bag and car keys on the cubby.

"Hi! I'm home!" I yelled to check if anyone was back from work or in case of my brother from school.

Only echo answered me and I sight of relief because the last thing I wanted was to small talk with everyone how my day was.

I went to my room, stripped from my clothes and wrapped my body in white, fluffy robe. I took change of clothes, my phone and dragged my feet to my parents master bathroom. They had huge bath tube and my mom had all those fancy stuff from TikTok to make a relaxing bath.

I made myself one with lots of bubbles and got in. I didn’t put any bath bomb or candles because it would give me a headache. The only thing I did was putting music on from my phone on the speaker in the bathroom.

I hated today. And all of this week to be honest.

It was this time of the year again. Senior year to be specific. Thats why I hated it even more because it's the last time ever for that.

For prom.

Everyone including my best friends were proposed to go to prom by their boyfriends. In every cute way possible. I was only there to fake smile and be happy for them but also a little jealous. Because here is the thing.

I was always so focused on school and soccer that I never, ever let any boy near me. It is a miracle that my best friends are still my friends. I was single through all high school, never went on any date and when I rejected some boys no-one asked me again. Which brings us here, I also was never asked to go for a prom. This time it was a little sad because it is going to be my last prom.

"I hate myself" I said and made my body to go under hot water while Frank Ocean was playing in the room.

I stayed like that for a second but I heard my music stopped for a massage notification so I sat back up and took my phone from the ground next to the bath tube splashing some water on the floor.

I checked the massage and I was a little surprised. It was from Matt Sturniolo. I knew him because his brother Chris was dating my best friend Maggie. He sometimes drives us to parties or games. He and his triplet brothers played hockey and lacrosse in our school. They were pretty good. Nick also did our yearbook this year. Matt and I never really had any class together and beside knowing him as Chris's brother I didn't really spend time with him. He didn’t usually stay at parties after games and even if he did he spent time with his team mates I did with mine.

I smiled a little. Was he kind of asking me out? What should I do?

Wasn't I just complaining that nobody asked me out?

And I said yes.

What am I even going to wear? It’s march and it’s going to be cold on the beach.

I spend and hour in the bath and than I ate early dinner and started to get ready.

I did blow out on my hair and put a light make up on. I didn’t want to look like I care too much. I put some jeans on and a hoodie with white Air Force 1. They had blue flowers custom painted for me on them by one of my friends.

When I got a text massage from Matt that he is waiting outside a little before 7 I told my parents I’m leaving and took my purse and locked the door behind me.

He was leaning on his car and smiled when he saw me. He looked nice. We kinda matched the outfits. He also was wearing a hoodie and jeans and white air forces.

“Hi… it’s nice to see you not on the field next to mine” he said.

That’s true. We usually just had practice or a game next to each other.

“Same to you… you stole my outfit tho” I laughed as he opened car doors for me.

“I can live with matching your outfit” He smiled looking at me and he closed the doors and went to the driver seat.

We drove to the beach talking about everything and nothing. Mostly about sports and music and the midterms.

“We’re here let’s go?” He smiled when we parked.

I got out of the car and he came to me.

“Okay I know it will sound weird but can you close your eyes? And not peek?” Ha asked me.

He was nervous?

“Okay…. But if you want to kill me my dad is going to find you and probably kill your brother for accident” I said closing my eyes and sticking my hand out for him.

He giggled at what I said and toon my hand to lead me.

Sun was setting already so it is going to be dark soon. I’m not sure what we are doing here.

I heard some sounds as we were walking on the sand but mostly it was sound of the ocean.

“Okay I’m going to let go of your hand… don’t open your eyes just yet” he said.

He dropped my hand and I stand waiting for him to tell me to open my eyes. I heard some voices too.

What the hell is happening.

“Okay… you can open your eyes now” Matt said from somewhere in front of me.

I opened my eyes and they automatically widened.

There was some lanterns going up into the sky. Like I my favorite movie.

Tangled.

I looked at them and then down to see where they are coming from. Whole lacrosse and hockey team were putting them up.

There he was standing in the middle with a poster that said:

Light up my night at prom?

And there was a painting of the tower from the movie. It was beautiful. I bet Maggie did it.

Nobody ever did anything like that for me.

“Matt what the hell?” I said coming up to him I’m pretty sure I had tears in my eyes now.

“Sooo?” He looked at me unsure of my reaction.

“Of course..” I said looking at him and wiped my cheeks with my hoodies sleeve.

Whole teams started cheering and I laughed.

“How did you even know? That I like the movie…” I asked.

“Well I talked to Chris and Chris talked to Maggie and you know…” he scratched back of his neck.

“Gosh I feel like I could kiss you right now…” I whispered.

He smiled and put one of his hands on my cheek and the other one wondered on my back to pull me closer to him. He looked deep in my eyes looking for reassurance but I just connected our lips together.

It couldn’t get any better. The best promposal I could ask for.

[flufftober day 10, wc: 816] - ghost photoshoot : b. jeemin

“STOP, WAIT! I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING…” jeemin panic-shouts, hands splayed in front of her and bumping into you as you tried to trace eye-holes on the large sheet that is covering her body.

“maybe if you’d hold still so i can get this done, you’ll be able to see,” you grumble out, steadying her by the shoulders and drawing two medium-sized circles in sharpie around where her eyes are. “there! now all we have to do is cut it out.”

you pull the sheet off of jeemin rather quickly, which causes her to fall forward and against you—thankfully, you catch her because you’d both be turned into a stack of pancakes otherwise. “are you alright?”

she weakly gets back up on her feet, pouting at you, “you could’ve warned me.”

“sorry babe,” you press a light kiss to her cheek, which seems to cheer her up quite a bit, “we have to get this done fast because mai-unnie’s coming soon.”

thanks to your encouragement, jeemin picks up the fabric scissors and begins cutting away at the outlined holes diligently. you do the same with another sheet of fabric which was prepared before this, and the two of you make such an efficient use of time that you finish a whole episode of some murder mystery show on netflix. jeemin’s even at the brink of slumber when mai rings the doorbell that jolts you awake.

when you open the door for the older girl, she’s almost taken aback at how drowsy your girlfriend looks. “sleepy? i’m not late, am i?”

“no, we just finished early,” you look behind you at jeemin, slightly smiling, “you have the camera?”

mai nods and gestures to her car parked outside, “in my bag. off to the photoshoot?”

“off to the photoshoot.”

there’s an assortment of props that you packed for the ghost photoshoot trend (that you may have been late to by a measly four years… but you digress) including chic sunglasses, a top hat and a cowboy hat, and a tea set. the plan is to go to a local park, risk your dignity for a few photos in case someone recognizes you, and go back home.

the photoshoot was an idea that randomly popped up in your head after doom scrolling on tiktok, and of course you had to drag your girlfriend in to do it with you. not that jeemin complained, because not to boast but you’re pretty sure she would adopt a dog to surprise you if you mention it in passing once. although it does sound nice—owning a dog together, jeemin coming home from walking the dog just in time for dinner which you lovingly prepared… such a dream.

“come here you two,” mai beckons with her hand, grabbing the white sheets from the trunk, ones that you’ll be covered with very soon. jeemin and you approach her obediently, receiving the sheets and pulling it over your heads, waiting for further instructions. “glasses,” she hands the pairs of sunglasses to you both.

now decked out in standard-ghost-photoshoot attire, you and jeemin set off to do whatever while mai captures you with her canon dslr camera (which is well-loved and also getting kind of old; you plan to get her a new one for christmas), grabbing multiple shots of different scenes thrown together.

you pat the space next to you on the ground, adjusting your sunglasses and intertwining your fingers with your girlfriend’s when she sits down. mai stands nearby, ready to press the shutter button, “three, two-”

“wait,” jeemin calls out, before reaching around you and gently easing your head down to rest on her shoulder. the action moves your glasses from their original position, but you dismiss it. “okay, ready.”

the older girl slightly shakes her head with a smile before counting down again, the sound of the shutter following soon after. she looks down, checking the recent photos and flashing a thumbs up, “i think we’ve taken a good amount.”

the three of you head straight to the car, you and jeemin still in the ghost-fit, and drive back to your place. your parents are gone for a work trip, so it’s just you guys in the house sorting through the photos. there’s some of you walking and holding hands, taken from the front, some of you wearing the hats (jeemin had the top hat, and you the cowboy hat) and pretending to sip tea, and various different shots of other poses and such.

“the others are gonna complain that we left them out,” you laugh, moving over on the bed to look at mai’s camera.

jeemin wraps her arm around your shoulder, giggling softly. “then that’s too bad for them.”

“cold much?” mai looks over her shoulder, grinning. “was this worth it to you two?”

“so worth it,” you sigh, slightly leaning back on your hands and closing your eyes.

so worth it.

flufftober masterlist!

https://www.tumblr.com/olderthannetfic/753405110589259776/note-spoilers-on-this-ask-for-anyone-who-hasnt

I’m this anon, and using your anon box to reply to a bad take in the reblogs of it lol.

1. aO3 treats the show and book series as separate fandoms for Bridgerton. My friend’s genderbend fic though is based on the books — thought I made that clear here. And yes book fans were being genuinely homophobic in her comments, not just her interpreting them not shipping it as “homophobia.” It was full of “get out of OUR tag” and claiming just writing a female character in a male version or shipping her male love interest with a guy was “misogyny,” exactly as I said. It’s a huge problem in the fandom. The main Reddit sub is so full of homophobia that queer fans had to spin out a separate inclusive sub called r/bridgertonlgbt. I’ve heard of people on TikTok being called “bourgeois degenerate” and “groomer” just for questioning why it’s supposedly such a dramatic and horrible change to make Michael into Michaela in the show.

2. Can we finally fucking retire the really tired, knee jerk “book is always better” attitude that has never been universally true anyway lol. The books Bridgerton are based on are pretty middling het histrom that repeat plots so much between them that that’s one of the big changes the show has had to make — just not have seasons 1 and 2 follow the same plot beats like books 1 and 2 did. The show has had to make a lot of changes just because it has a bigger audience than your average het histrom reader and while I haven’t loved every shift, it is overall better for it. Or just like, focusing on more than just each season’s main couple like the books only do — also better! The subplots are some of the most fun parts of that show, but also, it makes sense that people are going to continue to want to follow their favs from season to season and not just zero in on each couple. Yes I’ve read all the books. They simply are just not that great, TV is a different medium than books anyway and so certain changes are necessary, and frankly most of the loudest parts of the “book fandom” online who complain about the changes are people who read the books because of the show anyway. They’re all wildly inconsistent in what they consider acceptable changes: they’re largely on board with making the universally white books more racially diverse, but not adding queerness and gender diversity. Why is one ok but not another? Especially when a lot of them are ok with sad or bittersweet queer stories in subplots like Brimsley’s but not happy stories for main characters. Why is that, I wonder? A lot of people are pretending to be “book snobs” as a mask for bigotry, or just have bad taste, but regardless I think we need to get over the idea that stalwart defense of some mediocre and overly tropey romance novels is more elevated or intellectual and like the show isn’t an improvement in being less lazy about the cliches of that genre than the original author. (Seriously, I read a lot of romance novels, so this is not a knock on the genre as a whole or its readers — but the Bridgerton books are SO lazy and SO repetitive. Honestly I think a lot of the book defenders need to read more histrom themselves. Then maybe they’d see how weak and lazy those books can be compared to what else is out there.)

Fandom please learn basic things about how adaptation between different mediums works 2k24 also stop assuming that consuming a story in text form over another is an inherently intellectual activity

--

A pretentious friend of mine who loves Shonda Rhimes was going on at me a while ago about how she ~always reads the book first~ and then waiting for applause as if that's unusual!

She then tried to launch into how shocked she was by the books being... well, lowbrow trash, but she had some complex and boring way of explaining this.

I was like "Honey, you do know what a regency romance novel is, right? Right?!"

I mean, there are adaptations that are nearly exactly like the middle tier of romance novels. They're movie length and they air on Lifetime. This was a change not only of medium but of overall target audience and vibe.

[pippin-katz]

Alright before anyone asks me:

yes I’m aware Taylor used an AI app/filter thing

no I don’t like that he used it

yes it’s a little problematic that he used it

no he did not violate the strike by using it

yes I have seen the tiktok of those two white bitches demanding queer roles only be played by queer characters

yes they are completely fucking stupid and hypocritical

The SAG strike is fighting against the use of AI to write scripts, create footage, recreate their likeness and voice to steal their identity, and all that fantastic bullshit.

The AI app Taylor used has nothing to do with that.

If the app’s algorithm was trained by photos and artwork that the developers had permission and consent to use, it would be completely fine.

However, 99.9% of them do not have permission. That is also an important AI issue, but it is not the same as what the SAG strike is about. It’s not great that he used it, but he did not do anything wrong regarding the strike.

Also, I’d like to point out that most people are unaware of the theft that goes on behind the scenes. It may seem obvious to people like me, an artist, or people who spend a lot of time on the internet looking at art, but most ordinary people who hop on something like TikTok and use an AI filter are not aware of the thievery that is taking place.

It is not impossible that he isn’t familiar with this issue either, especially given how much he seems to travel, and his attention being on sustainability, specifically in the fashion/clothing industry. He’s busy doing stuff in real life. He’s also a bit of a bookworm, so he’s probably not on the internet nearly as much as people like us.

Is it still bad that he used it? Yes, but it is not something to freak out over. Inform him of the problem and move on.

As for the bitches, I would probably punch the one with braces in the face if I was put in a room with them. They had the gall to complain about Love, Simon being “too happy”, citing how miserable queer people are and how we’re scared to come out of the closet, right after demanding all queer characters be played by queer actors.

Please let this idea DIE. It does far more harm than the good people have in mind.

The idea is that it would get more queer actors hired and more representation overall and whatnot, but if you actually stop to fucking think about it, it is completely stupid.

1. Sexuality is an invisible trait. Anyone can identify as anything simply by saying it.

2. Any queer actor would have to out themselves just to play a queer character on a screen.

3. Actors do not owe the public details about their personal life and identity.

4. Stop assuming everyone is straight until said otherwise. It’s heteronormative and harmful.

One of the best lines in the entirety of Red, White & Royal Blue is this one from Alex’s speech:

“The forced conformity of the closet cannot be answered with forced conformity in coming out of it.”

There are far too many queer people who are failing to understand this. By pressuring people to come out, you are harming them. There are a bunch of different reasons for why they haven’t, with the most important one being that they simply don’t want to. It is their decision, and your opinion is unwanted and irrelevant.

Alright there, I addressed the stuff. Moving on!

[dissvicious]

God awakened devil fruit user OSHA must be horrifying because I choose to imply if they got that advanced with their fruit they would just turn the world into one of those tiktoks where people slice into something that doesn’t look like cake and then IS CAKE (you know the ones right? The better ones even have several fake outs where someone cuts something that doesn’t look like cake then is cake but then they cut SOMETHING else like an arm that was Apperantly in frame and it’s also cake or the KNIVES cake etc.)

Law watches in morbid fascination as Osha cuts into the table and a piece breaks off and it’s chocolate innards become visible. They take their knife to Shachis hat next who doesn’t even complain and just eats the brim of his cap. Laws neck hairs stand on end when Osha cuts into a heart and the organ just falls apart in the middle, a perfectly cut line, and it just slightly crumbles. Sponge cake Apperantly. He’d expect strawberry. Law doesn’t have time to dwell on that for too long because Bepo holds a plate with a slice out towards to him. White with a single chocolate chip and an ear like protrusion. His head jerks up to look at half of his navigators head while his partner starts to nonchalantly cut pieces of the other side. “… Ah? What’s wrong captain?”

The surgeon of death wakes up with a cold sweat and a yelp. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Yes sure. Uh huh. It’s time to slow down with the all nighters he’s been pulling and while he’s at it he’s GOT to stop drinking that shit Kidd brings with him all the time. Make a wide berth. Duly noted

Oh gosh. Not the everything is cake era dmjkdmsjn$

Thank you so much because it's been a moment since I received headcanons about my OCs and I always love it it's so inspiring. for me this is the following scene:

let's traumatize Law a bit more I guess

Task Force 141 x Reader PART 4

Author: *watching MW2 Tiktoks*

Also Author: *REMEMBERS SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING PART 4 OF HER DAMN SERIES*

Author: *RUNS TO GET HER KEYBOARD AND ACTUALLY STARTS TYPING.*

IM SO SORRY BUT HERE IT IS OK I'LL STOP ACTING LIKE A DRONGO HERE WE GO

<story is beginning...>

"Damn," you wheeze out, pushing yourself up. "No mercy, eh?"

You're sparring with Ghost again because somehow, you defeated every one else on the Task Force. Except for the Captain, of course, you haven't had the chance to spar with him yet. You were itching for that though, on God. He could throw you around anytime...

Ghost scoffs, crossing his arms over his chest. "Say that when you have a gun to your head. The enemies won't take kindly to you."

You hum, standing back up. You gesture at him. "One more time."

"Again?" Rudy inquires, surprised. You two have been at it for almost hours.

"I want to at least get close enough to actually beat him." You mimic Ghost's stance. "I wanna beat... Ghostie."

He gives you the most dead stare in the world. "...What the hell did you just call me?"

"Ghostie. Get it? You're a liutenant, or LT. Ghost, your call sign and you get Ghostie!" You grin. Soap and Alejandro are snickering in the background. You clearly aren't very imaginative when it comes to creating nicknames.

"You are not calling me that."

"Take it or leave it, sir. There is no other alternative. Unless..." Your eyes sparkle. "You wanna be Casper."

Soap can't hold it in anymore; unleash the Scottish tea kettle. Alejandro is laughing so obnoxiously, you thought the whole base would hear him. Gaz doubles over, hand over his mouth to contain his giggles. Rudy had that disappointed white mom look- all he needed was a sweater to wrap himself in.

Ghost narrowed his eyes at you. But was that a twinkle of mirth and amusement in his gaze? You thought so before Ghost rolls his eyes, turning away and walking to get his water bottle.

"Oi, we a'int finished yet! No breaks!" you call.

"Have Soap train with you then," he replies monotonously.

"I'd rather die than train with that man again. He sucks."

"I AM RIGHT HERE, CASANOVA." Soap strides over to you and gives you a rough shoulder shove with a grin.

You smirk. "Whatever, Handwash."

Soap complains loudly and the Captain walks in, taking in the scene. "Doing some practice, are we?"

All of you guys nod in affirmation. He smiles proudly.

"Casanova is fitting in pretty well," Gaz responds, his smile full of nice white teeth. You figured since it was Britain, everyone would got some crooked ass teeth, but nah. These fellas are the hottest guys on earth. Gaz fires a wink at you and you can't help but smirk. "She and Ghost would be a deadly duo, to be honest. Soap can't keep up."

Soap flips him off and Price chuckles.

"Good. Because we have another mission. Laswell will give you all a debriefing and then we're headed out. Are you ready, Casanova?" Price looks at you straight in the eyes, waiting for your answer.

You salute with a goofy smile. "Was born ready, Cap'n. It'll be nice to see Laswell again."

"Yeah, she thinks quite highly of you, Casanova," Price responds with a nod. "Now, let's put that potential to action. Follow me."

All of the team follows their leader with zero hesitation. You stare at the way Price walks and the urge to just grab him is almost impossible to ignore. His hips sure as hell don't lie...

-TIME SKIP BC AUTHOR ISN'T SURE HOW THE MISSION "Cartel Protection" EXACTLY GOES...-

"Been there before, Ale?" you ask, shouldering your SMG on your shoulder. The whole team was on their way to Mexico, to a village that was overun by the cartel there.

He snorts. "Of course! Mexico is my home after all, and I've already had my share with this cartel..." Alejandro scoffs in disgust.

You sniff and lean your head back. You've never been to Mexico before- honestly, you haven't to a lot of places, besides Afghanistan. And that didn't go so swell...

You shake your head again, leg bouncing up and down. You didn't want to admit it, but you were nervous. Nervous that things could go horribly wrong again. That it would be all your fault... For fuck's sake, why now? You've been able to block out the terrible memories, yet now all of sudden they came back to haunt you.

Flashes of gunfire. Explosions. Comrades screaming in pain.

"It's all up to you, Casanova! Go! Now!"

"But Liuetanent-!"

"CASANOVA, IT'S AN ORDER! LEAVE ME BEHIND!"

"NO! I CAN'T LOSE YOU TOO! PLEASE!"

Rudy nudges your shoulder and you flinch.

"Lo siento," he whispers, studying your torn expression. "But..." He trails off and a small smile appears on his face. Rudy nods reassuringly.

You inhale and slowly exhale, banishing the memories, screeching to be remembered. "Gracias, amigo."

He nods once more and leaves you alone. Rudy sensed something was churning in your mind, and that always wasn't a good thing before getting into battle. Good soldiers die that way.

And you knew that all too well.

<end of part>

IM SORRY ITS SUPER SHORT BUT I HAVE TO DO MORE RESEARCH BEFORE I WRITE A MISSION I HAVE BARELY ANY INFO ABOUT- And I have things to do, so take this for a moment im sorry again T^T

Hoped you enjoy this, im trying very hard to get you a moment with every member, so please dont mind the tiny scenes with you and another member... I want the quality time to be equal and not leaned towards just one character, because at the end, like I said, you'll be able to choose which character to be with! :D

Part 5 arriving shortly...!

When your mobile phone rang, waking you up, you mentally hoped it wasn't a mission. After a long time, you had finally been able to take a break from the hectic pace of life you were leading at S.H.I.E.L.D.

Fortunately, it was an unimportant message, so you left your mobile phone; you didn't have to go to the Triskelion, so if you woke Steve up at that moment... you picked up your mobile phone again to check the time; it was four in the morning, so if you woke him up at that moment, you could have some fun before breakfast.

You got on top of Steve and started kissing his hair, then you started going down his neck without stopping kissing him. You knew how much he liked you waking him up that way, and it was also very useful for what you wanted.

"It's not fair," Steve mumbled, turning around and putting you under him. "You're playing dirty, Y/N," he complained.

"Are you sure?" you questioned as you ran your hand down his hip to where you knew you would have complete control. When you came, he let out a growl. "I know what you like, and we seem to have time to enjoy each other."

He took your hand and began to run his tongue slowly down your neck, paying attention to all the parts he knew gave you the most pleasure.

You lost track of time as soon as you started, just as you had already lost track of the number of orgasms you had had; however, your stomach began to protest, and you needed to eat something before continuing.

"I can do this all day."

"I know, but I need to eat something to recover my energy; I don't have the serum like you," you answered.

Steve took your hand and kissed it. "Okay, but we'll continue with this later," he said as he lightly and playfully ran his hand up and down your thigh.

beyond — chapter six preview

releasing on 6/30/2023, 12pm EST.

——

“Figured I’d get in a workout because Charlie is napping,” you explain, stepping further into the room, stopping in front of the endless rows of dumbbells your husband keeps on a rack against the fall wall of the room with wall to wall mirrors reflecting your nervous image back at you. “And also because it’s raining, so I couldn’t go outside.”

“Uh huh.” He takes a final gulp of his water and places it down onto the floor beside him, about to start more bicep curls when he catches your image in the mirror. “Looking for something?”

Maybe it’s your inability to figure out what weight dumbbells you should start with. Maybe it’s because you’re already forgetting the layout of the TikTok workout you watched earlier that evening you intended to try. Maybe it’s the fact you know you want to start lifting weights, if only to help with your running and dog walking business (some of those bigger dogs get a little rowdy). Maybe it’s the fact you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing. As a result of all of that, your teeth pinch against your bottom lip, skin taut between, meeting his stare in the mirror.

“I’ll probably just hop on the treadmill. Go for a walk,” you decide, cowering away from his curious stare to rush to the farther corner of the room where the cardio equipment is.

The present set up has a treadmill, elliptical, stairmaster, and spin bike. More than you’ll ever need, but you’ll never complain because one of the perks now in being married to Steve is that you were able to cancel your own membership and save a little extra cash every month. Hopping on, you tap on the large screen panel to set your leisurely walking pace, pop a pair of headphones in your ears, and drown out the sounds in the room.

The plan works.

For all of five minutes.

Because you’re minding your own business, bobbing along to “Bad Girls” by M.I.A. as you strut across your runway slash treadmill belt, when Steve decides to lift his weights once more. Uses his knees to help prop them up, going right into a set of overhead dumbbell presses.

And damn it, if the sight of him when you walked in hadn’t sent you into orbit, this certainly does.

From where you’re standing you can see his back. The constellation of moles you never really paid much attention to, but now want to mark the path of with your fingers. Want to trace them like the stars in the night sky. With every overhead arch, his sinewy back ripples, muscles in his arms straining, veins sparking to life beneath his skin. From where you’re standing you can see the lines of his abdomen, the sweat pooling across ridges, clinging to those perfectly sculpted divots. Can see the way his chest jumps with each movement, making your thighs clench.

Only—one's thighs shouldn’t clench on the treadmill.

Except yours do.

And promptly send you crashing onto the belt, skin ripping from your kneecap in one rapid swipe.

A giant, gaping black hole in the floor would be a good escape right now. That or a meteor falling from the sky, with its target directed at your head. Anything to rid yourself of the mortification of your current dose of reality.

Steve’s already dropping the dumbbells by the time you fall onto your rear, nearly crashing into the glass window in the process, your trembling hands clutching your scraped up knee.

It burns. A white hot heat that has your eyes prickling, embarrassment burning like a heated iron in your chest. And to make matters worse, Steve utters out a soft “baby” as he drops down in front of you, and that might as well signify the end of all life function. Because not only have you fallen off a treadmill ogling your increasingly “not-so-fake-husband,” but now he is calling you “baby” on top of it all.

“Baby, let me see,” you realize he’s saying as you come crashing back to reality, the hazel of his eyes growing darker as he crawls closer on the floor, trying to inspect your knee. With a reluctant sigh, your hands fall away, revealing the freshly torn skin. “That’s a mean looking burn. Come on, let's put something on that.”

“I’m fine right here,” you argue, back pressing against the mirrored wall.

“Why?”

His brows lift high on his forehead, left hand curling over the unbroken skin of your left knee. You can see he’s wearing a black silicone wedding band today, not his usual wedding ring, and yet you don’t miss that simple gesture. Always wearing that symbol of your union, while your own are presently sitting high enough in a ring holder so Charlie won’t be able to mistake them for very expensive doggy chew toys.

“It’s gonna hurt like a bitch.”

“It’s a little burn, and then you’ll feel better,” he promises, giving your knee a little squeeze. “I’ll be so gentle.”

“Steve.”

“Honey.”

see you friday! 💍

hi i would like to ask about evie because. i love her

apparently jaheira has kids? who are they? are they also ocs

okay i love you and your girls. write more original fiction abt them please so i can read it even though i dont know bg3. okay thx

<3

HI OMG THIS IS SOOOO CUTE???? thank you SO MUCH for enabling me to talk about these guys! fair warning this WILL get long lol.

1. actually now i am legally obligated to write about all of them in high school situations. let’s go. as i write this i’m pretty sure in a high school au mari, ros, and norie would actually just be, like, friends, not actually adoptive sisters – ros has her very big and loving family, norie has a really tense situation as Adopted Chinese Daughter of Rich White Parents Who She Hates, marigold uhhhh god wouldn’t it be interesting and insane if she was still living with her bio mother and sisters? this is my narrative and in any narrative of mine high school is the worst case scenario, lol. evil evil place i will never go back to.

marigold is i am pretty sure in a world without magic hyperfixated on science/biology/nature, so she does really good when it’s anything related to that or cooking and really bad when it’s Literally Anything Else. she complains a lot about there not being some kind of home ec class until it’s explained to her that home ec would not JUST be cooking and she’s like oh well i don’t care about that then. she earned the position of student council vice president by bribing the general high school population with baked goods and only served half a term before realizing she hates talking to most people. REALLY tight with the cheer squad bc that’s roslin’s group, so she brings them a lot of snacks and hangs out on the bleachers with norie while ros cheers <3

evie has like 2 friends and one of them is a dead rat possibly and when marigold finds out about this she does her usual Marigold Response To Evie (edging awkwardly away so she doesn’t have to actually be an older sister about it). keeps on getting detention, mostly for small scale things like graffiti and skipping class, occasionally light arson. punched a kid in the mouth one time and maintains he was asking for it. she’s SUPER small though so she doesn’t do a lot of damage in fights but that does NOT stop her from trying SO HARD. (that girl is a teenage cryptid and the only reason she’s got friends in her twenties is because hot + confident gets you A LOT OF PLACES.)

roslin is a cheerleader yay hooray <333 the most #basic girly you will ever meet. has a not insignificant tiktok following that’s driving thea up the wall and they get into a lot of fights about internet safety (these fights are super limited by the fact that thea kind of doesn’t know what the internet is). despite being one of the most popular girls in school, she refuses to spend her lunch breaks with anyone NOT norie or marigold, and will blow off literally anyone and everyone to just sit on the roof with her girlies.

lenora is angling for the position of most weird goth girl of all time. full face of makeup, a whole bunch of piercings (all of them are fake bc she’s scared of needles), lots of very expensive black outfits that earn her absolutely no respect from the goth crowd at their school bc they see her as just a rich kid buying the look. she’s the only one among the three girls who actually gets good grades and they are constantly cheating off of all of her homework all the time. she’s apathetic acerbic and kinda bitey but she will go around the school holding roslin’s hand all the time and if anyone comments she will pull a knife on them. normal activities. (a lot of people assume ros and norie are dating and they are absolutely mutually outraged by the concept.)

thea teaches PE and has been momming the shit out of mari ros and norie ever since norie got into a screaming fight with thea in front of the entire class when thea was like “you don’t get to walk the mile giving each other piggy-back rides anymore” (reasonable request) and norie was like OH SORRY MOM I DIDN’T REALIZE WE LIVE IN A FASCIST SOCIETY!!!!!! then realized she’d called their gym teacher “mom” in front of the entire class and lost so much street cred in that moment, and the psychic damage she took was so adorable to thea that thea was like ok those are my kids now i think. she already SORTA knew roslin bc thea’s friends with roslin’s mom, but finding out about norie (terrible parents) and marigold (horrifying mother) ??? thea’s been sort of trying to semi-legally figure out a way to usurp parental rights for the last few years. also tried to put a hit out on marigold’s mom but was informed by one of the two (2) friends she has that that’s “a bad idea.” (she still thinks it’s a good one.)

lion is still in his teens too so he’s mostly just evie’s twitchy quiet friend who hangs out with her and the dead rat under the bleachers. they don’t talk a lot but they’re kind of inseparable. evie’s mom hates him. marigold said something derisive about lion once and evie tried to punch HER in the mouth, which marigold got blamed for, somehow, which evie then spent like half an hour hysterically monologuing to lion about on the phone. they are hopelessly in love with each other and mutually convinced it won’t work all without ever talking to each other. he writes “mr. lion northaven” on his notebooks sometimes

a bonus elodie! evie’s twin sister. blends perfectly into the background. gets the best grades in the family and is somehow in every extracurricular without anyone actually really knowing her. quiet, organized, neat, perfect. not a lot of people actually realize they’re twins because they carry themselves so differently and they’re never together at school. mom’s favorite.

2. evie’s biological sisters are marigold and elodie and she loves them with the force of a thousand suns and for a lot of complicated reasons this uncomplicated love of hers is not exactly returned in the same way that it is given. marigold’s adoptive sisters are roslin and lenora and she loves THEM with the force of a thousand suns and evie is the kind of girl who’s fine with it because her love does not change shape even when those who love her think maybe it should.

3. evie would come onto faith and faith would i think be immediately and cruelly dismissive specifically because evie would resonate with a lot of things about faith that faith violently hates about herself. (starved for love, loves hard and without her own permission, incredibly casual about sex to the point of detachment, absolutely no sense of self preservation or self worth).

4. oooh let’s make a sexuality list actually!!!

marigold is bisexual! enamored with people she can easily drag around on a leash, independently of gender.

evie is bisexual as well and i don’t think she has a type that is really established all that well beyond “people who want me.” evie has many problems

roslin is my single token heterosexual. absolutely impeccable taste in men, it’s just that all of her relationships always end in ways that are extremely amicable but Really, Really Weird. one guy left to join the circus. one guy left to man a lighthouse. one guy’s in witness protection. That kind of thing

lenora is a lesbian but it takes her a while to figure that out because she hates everyone indiscriminately, so for some time she just identifies as bisexual until experiencing attraction to a lady and going OH. OKAY. SURE

thea is a butch lesbian, and also nonbinary, though i don’t think she’d ever actually use the word to describe herself. her relationship to the concept of being a woman is less self-identification and more a label she likes to use and define as “being attracted to women.” she’s a woman because her love of women is coming from a female identified place, but other than that gender is of no use to her. she’s too old for the bullshit.

didn’t realize it until right this moment but lion (who i can include on this list even with his 900 psychological issues idc. that’s my son who was never gonna make it out) IS bisexual it’s just his Home Situation was such that the internalized homophobia’s keeping him closeted. not really something he’s likely to figure out, though; evie’s the only person who’s real to him and when he notices a man is hot he mostly just freaks out because what if evie leaves him for that objectively hotter guy. surely this will never cause any problems

5. man i honestly feel like all of them have some degree of neurodivergence simply because that’s where i’m coming from and that’s how i write them? i will say though that the places i feel like the qualities manifest the strongest are marigold (autism) my new girl beetle (autism) and evie (adhd) though i did recently get the feedback that norie reads super autistic :’) i will say if you see it it’s probably there lol.

6. :D

7. i had to really think about this one for a second ngl? sofie is for sure the most autism baby of all time actually so she’s really standoffish and awkward around children her own age, and i actually think art’s method of just running up to people and deciding they’re friends would melt her heart pretty immediately. she’s delighted by immediate acceptance and attention! they’d be inseparable and bella would go BALLISTIC.

8. i am running through all the girls in my head and i am actually 100 percent sure that almost all of them attach themselves to nora. mari has mommy issues x5000 + nora reminds her of thea, norie (lenora) and nora (eleanora) are literally deliberately cut from the same cloth and would get along like long lost sisters, and thea is genuinely obsessed with sharp-tongued moms who have emotional issues but love their kids tremendously (woman wants to homewreck so bad and will not succeed). roslin and evie are the outliers; roslin loves donovan’s warmth and positivity, and evie gets really really really attached to bella. so fast.

9. delighted to inform u that jaheira’s kids are canon, we meet them, they give her SUCH grief, and i love them, and so does she.

10. VERY LIKELY I WILL! idk when the muse will strike me next, but things are percolating :’) and thank you SO much for this, it was a delight to answer!!!

I've deleted tiktok off my phone and now mainly use Instagram reels. I get a bunch of content related to Japan (makes sense I'm moving there) but omfg the comments are like the trenches. Some are purely racist to Japanese citizens and others are such Japan dick riders that it's insane.

Anyway recently got a post about a white guy complaining that TOKYO has gotten too "foreign" and that he doesn't want Japan to "lose" their culture. I've got a lot of thoughts on this but nowhere to put them so here they are:

I'm literally losing my mind at how many people think Japan is this orientalist non-westernized country when Japan has westernized itself since the 1890s. Losing my mind at foreigners in Japan complaining that there are more foreigners in Japan and acting like they've been in Japan since before it when they moved there in like 2010.

Saw someone comparing Japan to Hawai'i in how it's losing its culture (truly mindboggling considering what Japan has done to Okinawa) and another guy who's name was literally Noah saying "Americans should keep their bs out of japan no one wants your stupid westernization" like dude ur name is Noah.

Also, no part of America has "westernized" Japan since the early 20th century, and Japan's "westernization" is entirely Japan's own doing for wanting to be in proximity to whiteness. No other culture country or people gets to decide where Japan's culture gets to go, that is solely up to the Japanese people (mind you not the government but the PEOPLE)

Most people obsessed with Japanese culture have never read an actual book on Japan that goes beyond "Japan has shrines that worship the kami or spirits of the world" and "being polite is important as a tourist in Japan". If they did, then they'd know that during the pre-war era and throughout the wartime era, the Japanese government purposefully put out cultural propaganda in order to boost nationalism. They wanted Japan to seem entirely unique and therefore more special than all other Asian countries. This is not to say Japan does not have beautiful cultural traditions that extend centuries, but largely those have been transformed and marketed to Japanese and foreign tourists alike.

Shrines and shrine groups donate and mass support alt-right-wing groups in Japan. The over-politeness culture is part of the awful workplace conditions and suicide rates. Actual Japanese people have spoken to these facts but that does not mean they do not like their home culture. Globalization/modernization will not westernize Japan. Women's rights, LGBT rights, labor rights, and immigrants' rights, will not westernize Japan. They will save Japan.

These Japan-obsessed right-wingers will ignore the hundreds of years of protests and civil rights groups to create an orientalist idea of Japan. None and I mean NONE of those people care about Japan, Japanese culture, or Japanese people, they only care about living out their orientalist fantasies while actual Japanese people living their daily lives are simply background props.

We need to stop pretending Japanese people are not their own people with history, culture, and movements.

Here are just SOME links on Japanese politics not known by most people (please message me if you're interested in these topics or would like more resources):

Nippon Kaigi- Alt Right Religious Group

Japanese Work Culture

Ainu - Indigenous Group of the Lands in the Okhotsk Sea

Ryukuans (Okinawans) - Indigenous Group of the Ryukyu Islands

Scream from the Shadows- A Book on the 60s Feminist Movement in Japan

Chizuko Ueno "Forty Years of Japanese Feminism" - Prominent Japanese Feminist

Burakumin - Lowest "Caste" Group in Japan

Zainichi Koreans - Resident Koreans Who's Families Entered Japan During and After the War

LGBT Rights - LBGT+ Rights Group in Japan

Organizing the Spontaneous - 60s ANPO Movement

Sadly I cannot find the twitter page that often posts modern-day Japanese news that normally is not posted by other news organizations. But if any of you remember it please send me the page so I can add it as I believe it is an important resource. Or just reblog with it!

Look, whether you like or dislike Japan, remember it's a country with people just like anywhere else. Do not dismiss the work activists have done in Japan. Do not say Japan "needs this political movement", instead talk about how Japanese progressive groups need international support and recognition (mind you don't say this about any country, especially largely nonwhite countries!!! you are completely ignoring and rejecting the work millions have put into social change!!! instead talk about those people!!! talk about those movements!!! don't let their efforts be forgotten!!! don't let any government tell you these movements are new!!! THEY AREN'T!!!!). One of the biggest ways we can create change and push away alt-right groups and people from any place is by ruining their image of those places.

Do NOT let the alt-right in Japan convince you Japan is purely homogenous and that Japan is the best country in the world. Do not let the Japanese government erase the Ainu, the Ryukyuan, Immigrants, Zainichi Koreans, LGBTQ+ citizens, women's rights, the Burakumin, the poor, and the communists/progressives of Japan. Do not let ANY country erase that history!

DO NOT LET JAPAN PLAY THE VICTIM TO "WESTERIZATION"

gonna complain abt biphobia for a second so if you think im automatically annoying bc of that it’s ok, just scroll past. idgaf

for the past few weeks on twitter and in the past on tiktok and im assuming here as well (im just not verging into those waters on here) i’ve seen a lot of weird and annoying things being said abt bisexuals and bi women in general and it feels like one of those things where somebody picks a specific type of a member in a community (here being “a white cis bi girl with a white cishet boyfriend”) as like the so called representative of the entire community and bc it’s like the supposed closest person to being the oppressor then all of the criticisms get to stick. it’s like when ppl add “white” in front of “woman” to make their criticisms not sound misogynistic.

like there are lots of things that are very much issues that bisexuals face in higher numbers than either gay or straight ppl do (such as ipv, for example), and nobody is talking abt it, but if we ever just express annoyances abt micro aggressions or negative stereotypes abt us (that feed into the material oppression we face! the stereotypes abt us being sex-obsessed and promiscuous freaks actually does lead to ppl thinking we can’t say no to sex and that we would cheat on them which leads to physical and emotional abuse!), then suddenly everybody is like “why are yall complaining abt it” “i wish i had your issues” “biphobia isn’t real, what you’re complaining abt is homophobia” “yall chose to date men” “who’s stopping yall from dating men” and it’s like…

we (cis bi women) understand that if we are dating men or somebody who is read as a man on the street then we benefit from being read as straight, but it’s weird when ppl keep talking abt “the real life” when we are talking abt how we are treated within the queer community or we want to address specific things. like many of us DO understand the sense of scale of things, we are not equating homophobic hate crimes to the micro aggressions, but if everything we say is conflated to just being micro aggressions we are blowing out of proportion, then it becomes difficult to address actually important things!

and i do think some of my fellow bisexuals have fallen into a weird pick-me-girl meme within the community, e.g. “i’m attracted to every woman ever and like 3 guys” which sounds like we are supposed to suppress our attraction to men to feel accepted in the queer community and act like it’s such a chore to be attracted to or be in a relationship w men. and im not even talking abt many of them coming to realize they are lesbians, which is good for them! but it just became one of those annoying things ppl just regurgitate and i don’t actually believe that it is an actual way many of them view their attraction, but they want the good queer points so they say it.

and i understand many lesbians’ frustrations w newly-out bi women expressing how they are intimidated by the idea of approaching a woman, but i think sometimes ppl are too quick to call it lesbophobia and that we think that lesbians are scary bc THEN apparently we aren’t living in “the real life” in our heteronormative world where we are taught how to be w men only? like i guess in this situation we don’t care abt what goes on outside of the community. and im glad many queer women are able to overcome it but we often forget how difficult it is to figure it out! and ppl online keep talking abt how weird and homophobic it is for bi women to say this when we should actually be scared of/intimidated by men bc they are more likely to abuse us… which is such a piss on the poor type of misreading of what we are saying. but also victim blaming once again.

like i’ve been out as bi for like 9 years now, had VERY strong feelings for multiple girls over this time (like i’ve had to tell some ppl im bi and not a lesbian), currently in my first ever relationship - and yes it’s with a man. and if i was some kind of famous person on the internet, people would be saying im settling, or im faking my queerness, or looking into my past relationships and seeing nothing there bc ive never dated anybody before. so what then? suddenly im not bi bc i’ve never gone out w a girl? like in my case i never even dated men before bc i rarely like somebody enough to want to go through w anything AND i need to know that they like me first as well so im actually always surprised to find out that ppl date ppl often but that’s neither here nor there.

like all those tweets abt billie eilish abt how she “chose to date an abuser before she ever dated a girl” or dove cameron “making a song abt being a better boyfriend to a girl and now dating yet another man” make me so upset like do they need to go out and date a girl for some kind of queer points for ppl to shut up abt it?

another thing i saw was like “a girl is gonna go to a queer bar or pride, dance and flirt with girls, and then go home to a boyfriend 💀” and it’s like okay so yall don’t want us bringing our boyfriends to queer events, that’s fine (not that my bf is straight and might also enjoy going to a queer event as he’s also queer but who cares abt that, right?) but then we also can’t go to a queer event by ourselves either? like not all queer events are singles-only events! and flirting doesn’t mean you’re being led on! sometimes ppl flirt just because! why does it mean that i need to stop going to queer events that i’ve been going to before dating my bf just bc im w a man now?

like ppl act like it’s not even worth to come out for a bi woman if she’s gonna date a guy / already is in a relationship w a guy. like maybe my identity existed before my relationship and might even exist after it? like im my own person or something?

like i’m so tired of ppl online being “heartbroken” over a hot woman (bonus points if she “looks” gay) being w a man - as if you ever had a chance w her if she was single! or acting like being w a bi woman means that she’s gonna leave you for a man! like it sounds weirdly incelish when i see other queer women online being like “oh ofc a girl i was dating left me for a man 🙄” and it’s like maybe she just started dating a man after you but you’re making it sound like she hated being with a woman and cheated on you with a man and you get to have this high horse about it. like im sure there have been instances where two women broke up and then one ended up w a man and even got married or something but i’ve seen too many ppl paint these situations like ultimate betrayals. like if she left you for another woman it would have been better?

like i know that there are some bi women who Have said/done things that led to these thoughts/complaints, but like the way we (queer women as a whole) have been engaging in these conversations has been very alienating. like there ARE things we need to address within our community (e.g., “everybody is a little bi”, “hearts not parts”, “don’t worry i’m bisexual” when dating trans ppl, etc) but i genuinely often feel more comfortable talking to other bisexuals abt it bc i think some things SHOULD be addressed within the bisexual community first bc it shouldn’t be on other ppl to address these things like we gotta clean our own house yk but it’s often difficult to do so on the internet bc anybody could chime in and divert the attention and take things out of context.

tldr i hate these conversations and all the jokes abt biphobia bc ppl think it makes them more progressive or feminist or whatever and seriously addressing these things suddenly makes me “one of those bisexuals” or whatever. like i know im saying all the stuff we’ve all already said in 2014 in all those “reblog if you believe that bi ppl are bi and not just half gay half straight” but i feel like ppl only agree w this in theory and not in practice and actively believe that every bi woman is a lesbian in denial or a straight woman w a fetish. and it’s fucking annoying.

and yeah it might sound like i’m a chronically online tumblr sjw abt it but the internet queer spaces are like a third space for many ppl and it’s disheartening to see these things and then feel like ppl are just keeping their mouths shut abt it offline but still believe and think this way.

…AND THATS ALL JUST ABT BI CIS WHITE WOMEN.

Chapter 14:

Flashback

Y/N POV

"Jagiya..." I sighed, looking at the older woman who had just come home. My arms reached out to her with a puppy-eyed expression. Yeji looked at me, not even taking off her shoes. Her eyes widened slightly in surprise as she saw me.

She smiled and quickly took off her shoes. Her arms immediately wrapped around my waist, pulling me close to her. My arms wrapped around her neck. "I missed you," I said. Yeji smiled widely, guiding me back to the couch. I grinned with joy. Feeling Yeji so close to me was incredible.

Yeji sat on the couch and pulled me onto her lap. I smiled, resting my face on her neck. "What's wrong, Jagiya?" Yeji asked, visibly surprised by my behavior. I laughed lightly, my lips leaving feather-light kisses on her neck.

Yeji hesitated a bit. Her hands were on my lower back. She tilted her head back against the couch, giving me more space. I grinned slightly. My hand tugged at her jacket, and Yeji took it off. Her hands wandered under my T-shirt.

She hummed with pleasure, closing her eyes. My lips, however, moved from her neck to her ear, where I sucked on the sensitive skin. She sighed out with enjoyment. Her fingernails lightly dug into my skin. My lips then wandered back to her jawline and her lips.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked, kissing Yeji as my lips met hers. My teeth caught her lower lip, tugging on it slightly. Yeji's eyes opened again, and she looked me straight in the eyes. I grinned slightly and stopped. I removed my lips from hers, looking into her eyes.

Yeji paused, "Are you... on your period?" she asked cautiously. Her fingers caressed my hip. I smirked as I nodded my head. Yeji looked at me. A soft smile formed on her face, "What do you want to order, Jagiya?" she asked, and almost immediately, I sighed. My hands played with her baby hair at the back of her neck.

"I don't know," I replied, but Yeji knew exactly how to handle this situation. She grabbed the remote, her arm holding me tight so I wouldn't fall off her lap. She turned on the TV and curiously, I looked at the screen.

"I love you," I immediately said as I saw that Yeji put on the K-Drama "While You Were Sleeping." Almost instantly, I got off her lap and sat properly on the couch. My eyes fixed on the TV. I heard Yeji giggle, giving me a kiss on the cheek before standing up.

I loved how Yeji took care of me when I had pain. She had ordered my favorite food for later and even went out again to buy me white chocolate and ice cream. Then she got ready for bed, making me a hot water bottle and sitting next to me.

She only wore a tank top, as she noticed that my body temperature drastically rose when I had my period, at least when I had pain. She had already prepared a glass of water and a tablet in case the pain got too much. She also made me tea.

We snuggled up and watched episode after episode. Yeji never complained once. Sometimes, she was on Tiktok, watching videos without sound. My head was on her shoulder.

—————————————————————————— End of Flashback

Annoyed, my forehead had been furrowed the entire time. I had to step in for a Colleague for a short period of 3 hours. i asked Ji-Eun Unnie if she could take care of Alex. Unfortunately, she had some work to do, and the only person I could ask for help was Yuna. She had Alex, my son. However, she had texted me an hour ago that she was called to the JYP building, and Alex went along with her.

Now, after years, I found myself back at the building. Nervously, I looked at the revolving door and took a deep breath before entering. My phone was in my hand, and I immediately called Yuna. It didn't take long for her to pick up. Panic-stricken, she stammered, "H-Hey, Y/n. I'm so sorry. I lost Alex," she said, and my breath caught in my throat. My eyes widened.

"I had to record something for the next album, so I gave Alex to Ryujin. She had to go somewhere afterward and handed Alex to Manager Lee. But he had to attend to another idol and handed Alex to Ms. Park... She said she never saw Alex," Yuna informed me. My heartbeat raced like crazy, and panic surged within me.

My breathing accelerated, and my eyes scanned the lobby. My heart was pounding in my chest. "Ryujin is already looking everywhere for him, and I informed everyone except Yeji," she said. I heard her slamming some doors in frustration.

My eyes wide, the phone still at my ear, my steps quickened. I was almost pacing back and forth until I finally spotted a child leaning against a wall. He was crouched down, running his finger over the floor repeatedly. Relieved, I stopped instantly. "I found him," I said into the phone.

I heard Yuna, who was already tearing up, exhale in relief. I chuckled slightly and calmed her down before hanging up. It wasn't her fault. Life was just hectic sometimes.

I went straight to my son, but I paused as I recognized the person next to him. "Mama!" Alex exclaimed joyfully as he ran towards me on his little legs, wrapping his hands around my hips. My hand automatically landed on his head.

Yeji looked up at me. Her eyes widened a bit as she saw me. She stood up from her crouched position, now taller than me. Yeji looked at the child and then back at me, with a question mark on her face. "Mama?" she asked, her eyes widening as she realized what that word meant.

She swallowed, her mouth slightly open. "You... have a child?" she asked, her eyes bigger than usual. Nervously, I looked at my ex-girlfriend. My heartbeat quickened. Now, it was me who had to swallow. "Y-Yes," I replied. Yeji nodded in understanding. Her eyes fell on the child before looking back at me, a small smile on her face.

"You've raised him well... He didn't say a word to me," she said, looking directly into my eyes. I chuckled and stroked the little one's hair. His hands gripped my pant pocket to hold on better. I took a deep breath. "I think we should talk," Yeji said hesitantly. I also felt somewhat uncomfortable now. I nodded with my head.

"Okay, fine. If you want to talk, I'll take Alex," Yuna said, breathing heavily. It seemed she had ran all the way here. Alex looked at Yuna and ran to her, laughing, calling her Noona. Yuna lifted him up in her arms. "This time, I won't take my eyes off him, I promise," she said, looking serious. I simply nodded my head.

Yeji, however, looked surprised that Alex knew Yuna and immediately jumped into her arms. Yeji nodded slightly, realizing that Yuna already knew about my situation.

"Is the café still there?" I asked, and Yeji nodded her head. Without a word, she started walking in a direction, briefly looking back to make sure I followed, which I did without objection.

We sat down across from each other. But shortly after, Yeji stood up again to go to the counter to order and pay for our drinks. My mouth opened slightly as she placed a Caramel Frappuccino in front of me. I swallowed as Yeji sat back down. "Thank you," I said barely louder than a whisper.

Yeji and I said nothing. We just stared at each other, sipping our drinks through our straws. Yeji seemed lost in thought. "What... is his name?" she asked, and my eyes widened slightly. I hadn't expected Yeji to say anything.

"Alex," I replied, and Yeji nodded her head. An uncomfortable silence fell between us again. Yeji placed her drink on the table, sighed, and remained expressionless. I had no idea what she was thinking.

"How old is he?" she asked, breaking the silence. I swallowed. "He... turned 4 in March," I replied, and Yeji's eyes widened a bit. She swallowed, her eyes returning to her drink. "Who... is the father?" she asked, and my mouth opened. She... accused me of cheating on her?

My eyes widened in shock at what I heard. Did she really think I had cheated on her?

Speechless, I stared at her with an open mouth. "Say it, Y/N! I need to hear it... Tell me you cheated on me!" she said, now raising her voice. Her eyes narrowed, her jaw tense, and her hand clenched into a fist. "Say it!" she demanded. Tears formed in my eyes as I replied, "I would never... I never cheated on you," I said, and Yeji continued to stare at me.

I stood up from my seat, shaking my head in disbelief. "You want to know who got me pregnant? You! You were the one!" I said as I picked up my jacket from the chair and was about to pass her. Almost immediately, I felt a hand on my wrist. I stopped and turned my head to look at her.

"Wait..." Yeji said as she finally released her held breath. Her big eyes looked up at me since she was still sitting. Her lip trembled slightly. "Alex... is my son?" she asked in shock. Her voice broke a bit. I hesitated. I should leave now after what she accused me of, but I was the one who left.

I pulled away from her and sat back down. Yeji looked at me, her mouth open. "He... is my son?" she asked again. I nodded my head. Uncertain of what might happen after this shock. Once again, there was silence between us. All this time, I could only look at the table in front of me. I... was afraid to look at her. Yeji took a deep breath. "W-Why... didn't you tell me?" she asked. "Did you... think I wouldn't be a good mother?" she continued, her voice trembling.

"Why... did you leave?" she continued, her voice shaking. I looked at her. I saw some tears quietly rolling down her cheeks. My mouth widened as my breath caught. My hand started to shake. I want to touch her...

"Because... I love you, Yeji... You would have been a wonderful mother," I started quietly. My hands clasped hers as I looked deeply into her eyes. My heart was racing like crazy. "But... I couldn't stand in the way of your career," I finally finished my sentence. Yeji immediately furrowed her brow. With teary eyes, she looked at me, her jaw tensing.

"No... Wh-What are you talking about, Y/N?" she asked, and I took a deep breath. I bit my lip. "JYP... talked to me... I mean... he hinted that I would probably ruin your career," I replied.

Surprised that Yeji now took my hands in hers and applied some pressure, I looked at her with big eyes. My breath caught as I saw her narrowed eyes. "You talked to JYP?" she asked. Her jaw was tense. "You left to not ruin my career?" she repeated, questioning.

She let out a humorless laugh, making sure I got up from my chair and now stood right in front of her. She also stood up, her face slightly angry. "You think that whatever is between us would destroy my career?" she asked, and nervously, I let out the breath I didn't even realize I was holding.

"God... Y/n... Since when have you become so foolish?" she asked, her tone much gentler and somewhat amused now. Her hand landed on my cheek. "Destroy whatever you want, but don't leave me," she whispered as her hand moved to my neck, holding me there.

"Yeji..." I breathed almost breathlessly. My breath hitched, and my eyelids were only half open. "You can't forgive me," I whispered, and now I heard Yeji humming. A grin appeared on her face as she leaned closer to me. Her hand on my neck prevented me from pulling away. "Who said I forgive you?" she asked softly, her breath against my lips.

My lips parted as breathing became even more difficult. My hands twitched, and with just a brief gaze into my eyes, she finally connected our lips after 5 long years. Almost automatically, my hands found their way to her lower back. She pulled me even closer by my neck.

She pulled away from the kiss abruptly, her eyes now slightly darker. I swallowed as I tried to control my breath. My heart was pounding wildly in my chest. Yeji bit her lip as she looked at me. "Go on a date with me," she demanded, and her hand on my neck tightened its grip. "I'll make you regret leaving me five years ago," she said, grinning. Her tone sounded playful, but she meant it completely seriously.

I let out a small laugh, my face blushing. "I've regretted it every second," I replied, and Yeji looked at me between my eyes. Then she let go of me and took her phone out of her pocket, holding it out to me. "Your number," she demanded, and I immediately entered my number.

My ZZZ opinions as someone who hasn't played the game and has only watched pre-release stuff cus I don't wanna spoil myself on the story until I can play the game:

Ellen: - Very cool!! I would've pulled for her if I was playing. I like sharks so of course I'm gonna like the bitch with a massive shark tail

Grace: - She's just a cooler version of that one bitch from MHA. Please stop saying you want to look inside children (machines) it's creepy and gross

Soldier 11: - Couldn't give a shit. I don't care for her in the slightest. She's just orange Anby but with less personality

Nekomata: - She's super cute! I love how her animations look and her voice is actually really nice imo. Poor girl has already been white washed in a ton of official art but that's just the fate of being 'the brown one' in a hoyo game ig

Von Lycaon: - This man is genuinely convincing me into learning how to draw furries. Attractive,,,

Koleda: - My daughter!!! She looks super fun and honestly feels more like a Pokémon character than a hoyo character. Most of these characters actually feel like Pokémon characters

Alexandrina Sebastiane: - I think she's...kinda just there. She's pretty, and the fact that she has dolls is cool. I also like how all of Victoria Housekeeping is based on classic monsters. But she doesn't have that much appeal to me imo. Like I like how Lycaon kinda has a father type relationship with Corin and Ellen is really cool to me standalone but Rina just kinda feels like she's there

Piper: - I mean there's not much about the Sons since they were announced a week before the game came out. Close enough, Welcome back Herta Star Rail

Lucy: - Similarly to Piper there's not much about her since she was dripped a day before the special program. But also she just has a cooler design. I love the biker aesthetic. Also her bat is cool. Also pigs <3

Corin: - Absolutely smitten. I love her design and how utterly miserable she looks. She does not wanna be here. Also love her giant ass pizza cutter. Look, I just perfer cute characters i don't make the rules my brain does

Anton: - Like Rina, he's kinda just there..I don't have much to say about him

Ben: - It only took 13 years for them to add a playable fat character! And what a joy he is. He's just a nerd who likes math and that's cool. Also the only character in the game to alter another characters mechanics when in the party, so that's fun

Soukaku: - I don't really care for her. All I know about her is that apparently she's meta with Ellen and Lycaon so she gets brownie points for being a support to my 2 favs

Billy: - Slutty, slutty robot man. I love him. And his ass. He's had 2 adds now with ass shots and he deserves it. He's very much the same appeal to me as Boothill and Vash so yippie!! Also he's just a power rangers nerd so that's always fun

Nicole: - I love a good girl boss. Also the way ppl on Tiktok complain about her boobs is just funny to me. Like yes, her boobs are gonna move, they aren't bolted down to her ribs.

Anby: - For the longest time I thought her name was Enby so I headcanon them as non-binary now cus of that. Love her really, she's like the stoic quiet character but actually interesting to me at least. Like bitch is just obsessed with movies, and bad at socialising and she's just like me fr!!!

My replacement tablet pen is coming tomorrow so I'm gonna be so annoying about ZZZ

you're so real for saying charithra chandran for rapunzel, she's been my number one fancast for her if there ever is a live-action movie (hopefully there won't be one! PLEASE disney come up with new ideas for the love of god!!) the moment i laid eyes on her while watching bridgerton.

something that really irks me is the number of people crying over rumours of rapunzel not being white... like people are going over to avantika's socials and harassing her over a literal fancast which is quite frankly very strange behaviour. their number one excuse for the anti desi rapunzel is: "well, desi girls aren't naturally blonde. we need a blonde to play rapunzel, otherwise it won't be realistic, duh!" but!

1st of all, rapunzel herself isn't even blonde. she's brunette!

2nd, rapunzel's hair has never ever been realistic. super long, glowing, magical hair is realistic to you people? really?

also seeing people say that rapunzel can't be desi because she's german... and then propose a different actress who isn't even german either to be rapunzel lol.

but idk. the undercover racists are once again coming out full force. it's like the halle bailey situation all over again

i hope this was a good take sob sorry for bringing bad vibes to the function

anywho, at the end of the day i will literally get on my knees and BEG disney to not make any more live actions movies. we don't need them!!!!!

I agree with literally everything you said, including fan-casting Charithra because of her performance in Bridgerton. XD I watched her there, and for the first time since the movie came out, I saw an actress I'd be happy with portraying Rapunzel. She's got the acting chops, she's got the look, her innocence is so sweet and her rage is so palpable. The only role I've ever seen Avantika in is Karen in Mean Girls, and although that's just one role, nothing about her performance said "Disney's Rapunzel" to me.

I really really hate that people think it's okay to harass actors for any reason, let alone because of a popular fancast. In that respect, social media is a blight. People should not have unfettered access to celebrities and the creatives behind their favorite shows. God, I wish people could be trusted, but this is why we can't have nice things.

Oddly, I've been seeing a lot of people complaining in the Tumblr tags about people's treatment of Avantika on Tiktok and Twitter, but I haven't really seen people complaining about it here on Tumblr. So basically, the people yelling in the tags are yelling at the wrong people*. Of course, this happens all the time around here; people complaining about what they saw on a different social media platform.

But, yeah. NO MORE LIVE ACTION REMAKES, PLEASE. I mean, we obviously can't stop them, because too many people who aren't that critical of it enjoy it, but it sure would be nice if they'd get the picture.

*Not to say that I think that no one here on Tumblr is racist or feels the same way as the TikTokers and Twits who are being overtly racist, just that I'm not seeing it with my own eyes, because I'm not on those platforms.

Stop expecting women to share our spaces with gun obsessed abusive men.

And this….

The first story

A transgender-identified male has gone viral on social media after posting a disturbing video to TikTok threatening violence against anyone who might attempt to prevent him from using a women’s restroom. The user has been found to be a baby fetishist into “ageplay” and “diapers.”

“Tara” Jay White, previously known as Thomas Jay White, posted the now-deleted video to his TikTok account @Tara_vs_TW. In the video, he threatens people who object to his presence in the women’s restroom, stating that attempting to prevent him from accessing women’s spaces would be “the last mistake you ever make.” 

White then goes on to encourage other men who identify as transgender to purchase firearms, saying “this is a call to arms.” The video has since been shared across other social media platforms, with people expressing outrage. White’s “call to arms” began circulating just weeks after a horrific shooting at a school in Nashville, Tennessee involving a transgender shooter, and the subsequent arrest of a trans-identified male who had planned mass murders at churches and schools.

Although White’s video has since been taken down by TikTok, he addressed some of the criticism he has received in a recent post. 

“I don’t care if I lose this account. Report it all you want … I’m still going to use women’s restrooms and women’s locker rooms,” he stated in a follow-up video. White has since released multiple videos addressing negative comments, specifically those demanding he stop using the women’s facilities, taunting users.

In his TikTok bio, White refers to himself as a “Poly Trans Lesbian,” with “poly” used as slang for polyamorous – being in a relationship with multiple sexual partners. He also boasts that he is “back with a vengeance” and has several other social media accounts including through Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Clapper.

On one of his Twitter accounts, White describes himself as a “diaper trans mommy” and a “transfemdom.” White posts hardcore pornography on the account, including photos of himself wearing diapers and children’s clothes. Using the handle @tvs_w, White again threatened violence against those uncomfortable with him using the women’s restroom. 

“[sic] I am someone who also doesn’t want to see any harm come to kids, but I will NOT tolerate some big fat hairy neck Beard threaten any Trans girl for simply wanting to be safe and use the womens restroom. I will beat a hillbillies ass, oh and this Tranny is packin, LEGALLY,” White wrote.

On White’s Instagram, he has posted an image of condoms on a Bible, and complained about how “polyamorous trans lesbians” are not accepted in the lesbian community.

“I have received hatred from the lesbian community because I’m Transgender. I know that a lot of Lesbians have been given a huge misconception about the Trans Female community by the alphabet mafia, and I can sympathize with that. I have also received negativity for being polyamorous as well. I have multiple girlfriends that I love more than life itself and they love me,” White stated in the description of an Instagram post.

Despite being a male who actively seeks to use women’s spaces, White has expressed support for conservative policies. In 2018, White started a podcast called Tranny vs. The World, on which he criticizes “social justice warriors” and “libtards,” and expresses support for Donald Trump.

“[sic] Hey I’m Tara Jay, Transgender Gamer Girl not on the looney spectrum. Just your average redneck, gamer geek girl that loves guns and schtuff. Not a typical Snowflake nor a FemiNazi, just a chick with a dick who practices common sense and loves her Constitution,” the description of the podcast reads on Spotify.

During one episode dedicated to sex, White proclaimed: “men line up to fuck me.” 

Prior to changing his name to “Tara,” White was known as Thomas and lived in Lansing, Kansas. On his historic Facebook account, White posted photos from his wedding to a woman who he appears to have since divorced.

Disturbingly, White posted several screenshots to his Facebook in 2015 of private messages from his sister suggesting he had severe anger issues and had been emotionally or even physically abusive towards her. White posted the screenshots in an apparent effort to bully or taunt the woman further.

In another message posted by White, his sister accuses him of having been physically abusive towards his ex-wife. 

On his Facebook, White, who claims to have previously served in the US Navy and as a firefighter, frequently posted pictures of the confederate flag, writing supporting messages about its symbolism. 

“Why is there even controversy over this? The whole flag thing is stupid. The confederate flag is not a symbol of hate or racism, it’s a symbol of bravery and patriotism,” White wrote in a quote superimposed over a confederate flag image. “Removing the confederate flag due to it being offensive to blacks is like removing the American flag because it is offensive to Native Americans.”

White ends the post by saying: “Before people accuse me of it, no I’m not racist.”

White also posted posted anti-Black Lives Matter content, and made derogatory remarks about Muslims.

In a post from 2015, White shared a screenshot of a man encouraging Americans to smear their money in bacon grease when patronizing Muslim-owned businesses, writing: “Let’s see what is stronger, their faith or their greed.” 

In response to the post, White praised the plan, writing: “This guy has the best way to really fist all filthy moslims [sic] in the ass with no lube. I am doing this to ALL of my bills that I get, even my change too. I have a can of yoders bacon chock full of pig fat to last me A VERY LONG TIME of coating my money.”

White appears to have begun transitioning in 2017.

The second story

A trans-identified male who brandished a gun on social media and caused outrage following a school massacre in Nashville, Tennessee has been fired from his job with the federal government.

On March 29, transgender Twitter user Kayla Denker went viral after posting a short video showing himself loading an assault rifle and posing with it menacingly. The clip, which was initially uploaded earlier in the month, was captioned: “While advocating for trans people to ‘arm ourselves’ is not any kind of a solution to the genocide we are facing, I do want to say that if any of you transphobes do try to come for me I am taking a few of you with me.”

Denker’s video began circulating widely just days after a horrific mass shooting at The Covenant School, a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee. The shooting, perpetrated by a female who identified as transgender, left 6 people dead — three young children, and three school employees. The shooter was neutralized at the scene. 

Despite the fact that non-transgender people had been targeted in the massacre, many trans activists took to social media to complain that the shooting was going to result in an uptick in violence against trans people. As a result, many activists called for the arming of trans people, claiming they were facing an impending genocide.

A “direct action” event which called itself the “Trans Day of Vengeance” was also planned for April 1, with a call for trans people to gather in Washington, D.C., but was cancelled after organizers complained that the risks of the event moving forward in wake of the shooting were too high.

Posters related to the event were censored by Twitter, and users who circulated the graphic, even just for commentary, found their accounts locked rapidly. In a statement on the matter, Ella Irwin, Twitter’s head of trust and safety, wrote that the company perceived the graphic as “inciting violence,” adding: “‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok.”

Following the shooting, Denker’s video was met with overwhelming backlash. The video garnered attention from Newsweek and The Daily Mail, and the latter outlet revealed that Denker was reportedly a former U.S. Army soldier.

Known previously as Adam, Denker had once created “educational” videos for YouTube teaching his audience about assault rifles, ammunition, and more.

Denker put his Twitter account on private after being inundated with negative attention, but created a public account in an effort to inform people he had posted his gun-toting video prior to the shooting in Nashville, and to claim he never intended to threaten anyone despite the caption affixed to the video.

On April 14, Denker tweeted that he had been fired from his job with the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado as a result of the attention his video had gotten from mainstream media outlets. In his tweet, Denker says: “I was fired by the Biden administration for being a trans woman that owns a gun.”

The U.S. Forest Service is an agency of the Department of Agriculture, and provides oversight and administration for the country’s national forests and grasslands.

In another tweet, Denker accuses an employee “fairly high up in the Department of Agriculture” as being responsible for his termination, and stated his immediate manager was sympathetic and had tried to stop the dismissal.

Denker quickly launched a GoFundMe requesting $5,000 in financial assistance to “survive.” The fundraiser currently sits at $4,600 at the time of this writing.

Denker supplemented his claims of having been terminated by uploading a scanned copy of the letter from his employer detailing the reasons behind their action. While Denker censored all of his personal information, he left the name of the member of the public who reported him uncensored in the letter. It is unclear why Denker was provided the personal information of the woman who reported him.

The letter reads: “On March 29, 2023, a member of the public, identified as [name redacted by Reduxx], contacted management about the concern you, as an employee of the Forest Service, were advocating violence. They identified in a post online that you were employed with the Forest Service in Denver, Colorado.”

The letter reveals that Denker had been employed as a trainee archeologist in the Rocky Mountain Region, and that his employers had learned he was prominently displaying that information on social media.

“On March 29, 2023, District Ranger [redacted] called you after he viewed the DailyMail.com article. You indicated that you previously posted the video but that it was not supposed to be shared, and it was taken out of context. On March 31, 2023, you further explained the video was posted on March 5, 2023, and had nothing to do with any movement or ‘day of vengeance.’ Instead, you said you made the video because you were receiving death threats and you were trying to discourage people from acting on those threats. You explained that you were not threatening to shoot anyone,” the letter reads.

“I find your post inappropriate because it included you with a gun and implying you would use it under a certain circumstance. While I understand you said you made this in response to death threats, this type of post is not appropriate under any circumstance. More aggravating, you were identified as a Forest Service employee, and this does not demonstrate the elevated ethical standards you are required to adhere to as a federal employee.”

On the second page of the letter, Denker was invited to file an appeal if he felt he was being discriminated against.

On his public Twitter account, Denker maintains he did nothing wrong and was targeted because of his transgender identity. 

“I worked for the government. The government punishing you because it doesn’t like what you said or because they don’t like you having guns is literally what a violation of your 1st and 2nd amendment rights is,” Denker wrote in response to someone criticizing his behavior.

The investigation into the shooting in Nashville, Tennessee remains ongoing, but officials have yet to release any clear motive for the actions of the transgender shooter or details from the “manifesto” police located. 

Just days after the school massacre, another transgender individual was arrested in Colorado on suspicions he had been planning to target multiple schools in a mass shooting spree. 

As previously reported by Reduxx, William Whitworth, 19, was arrested on March 31 on charges that included suspicion of attempted first-degree murder after he admitted to planning to commit shootings at schools in the Colorado Springs area. Whitworth was born male but uses “she/her” pronouns and refers to himself as “Lilly” or “Lily.”

Whitworth was reported by his sister, to whom he had been claiming he was planning on executing his plans. When police arrived to his residence, they found Whitworth drunk in his room, which was littered with filth. The house was in extreme disrepair, and deputies noted that “there was trash piled up all around the house to where it made it hard to walk inside.”

Amongst Whitworth’s belongings was a whiteboard with a floor plan to Timberview Middle School, which he described as a “main target,” but Prairie Hills Elementary and Pine Creek High School were reportedly also listed as “targets” in one of Whitworth’s other notebooks. He was in possession of a “detailed” hit list of people he was planning to murder.

Whitworth also told police that churches were among his other “targets.”

Whitworth is expected in court on May 5.
