Hi! Just wanna raise some awareness here because South America is on fucking fire and I need to see more people talking about this.
Source: RSOE EDIS x
Im just going to talk about the ones i'm closest to, but if you know about these fires, feel free to add in the reblogs!
Chile
In Chile there's (up to Feb 5) 160 wild fires, of which 40 are still trying to be controlled by authorities. The president, Gabriel Boric, has declared State of Emergency in the whole country, and theres a Red Alert Code in most part of the country.
Isla de Chiloé, Southern Chile (900 km away from Santiago de Chile)
This is a (recently controlled) fire that lasted a week, but many neighborhoods were burnt to the ground.
The whole South is in red alert for constant sudden fires that spread quickly due to the lack of rain and the elevated temperatues in the zone. Just today, two fires had to be controlled in the main land next to this island, and more are being reported in the Los Lagos region. This is added to the "controlled" intentional fires that farmers make to clean their fields of old crops along the Central-South parts of the country, mostly surrunding the main route, Ruta 5, that connects the whole country, thus making it hard to see and breathe because of the smoke. (flashnews, most of them get out of control quickly.)
Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Central Chile (100 km away from Santiago de Chile)
A fire that started on Friday 2nd and grew exponentially because of the wind and the dry, hot climate. More than 100 people are dead, with 70 unrecognized bodies and other 400 that have dissapeared. At least 30000 people that have lost everything to the fire.
There's massive evacuations from this and the neighboring city, Viña Del Mar.
This is said to be the second most deadly fire in the century, surpased by Australia in 2009.
45000+ hectares that include land and neighborhoods have been burnt down.
I could go on about this one, so more info here and here
Argentina
Parque Los Alerces (Esquel), Chubut
The fire strarted on the 25th January, and the climate has made it hard to contain. 3000 hectares of native forest have been burnt to teh ground. It is now growing in the direction of the nearest city, Esquel. Theres been evacuations between yesterday and today (4 and 5th Febuary)
Parque Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche), Río Negro
The reason why im writing this. The city woke up today covered in smoke after a wildfire developed yesterday during the night. The reason? A fireplace that was not turned off in a place where people cannot disembark and can only be reached via boats.
As of now, there's not much information about the fire but hopefully the firefighters will be able to contain it before it reaches Tronador Mountain, where an ancient glaciar is.
...which leads me to the other point i wanted to talk about.
Firefighters
They volunteer to do this job.
In Argentina and Chile, firefighting is not rewarded with a salary, and most of the times they dont even have full firehouses to stay in. These people are at their houses, ready to jump into action and run to the station the second the alarm goes off.
They are neighbors, people that risk their lives and run into danger willingly, just because they want to help the community.
I felt the need to give a shout-out to these people and say:
Don't be a fucking dick, don't start fires in the woods unless it's an approved place, and if you do, TURN IT OFF.
Pour abundant water on it, and do not stop when you don't see any more flames.
Keep pouring water until the ashes don't burn/feel like room temperature in your hand if you put it 10 cm away from it, and even then, pour some more just to be sure.
No heat and no smoke mean a safely extinguished fire.
Save lives and forests.

Time zones
Part 1 Part 2 Part 4
Next: South America. I can accept Venezuela going for -4½ as they are split down the middle, and the countries west of that are acceptable too, but Suriname, you are not in -3. Leave. The rest of the more northern countries pass too, with Brazil being lucky that they are so big that its acceptable to ignore the time zones a bit, also, as the section in -2 is mainly rainforest, we can let it go. Then there’s Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. None of you are in -3. Stop it. Uruguay is completely in -4, Argentina is half -4, half -5, and Chile is solely in -5. Also, the Easter Islands are not in -5 Chile, they are in -7. You’re wrong. Stop making everything 2 more than they should be.
#time zones#time#maps#country#rambles#rant#random#why does south america not understand the concept of lines#like they are all so wonky i think they must have been drunk when they came up with this#and dont even get me started on chile#WHY ARE THEY SO OFF#because seriously#what is so difficult to understand#-3 does not equal -5#it just doesnt#get your act together#and why did they do the same thing with easter island#i guess they picked an amount to be off by and just went with it#but still#no#it makes no sense#amd i hate it with every fibre of my very being#i am upset

Some of y'all are callous and tone deaf as hell, and not nearly as open or unbiased as you say you are. It's okay to admit you still need to do work on challenging your internal misogynist instead of doubling down on why [insert any woman here] deserves whatever she has coming to her bc of a character flaw. Y'all hate that you have to give your support to women who are different from you. I don't know how to say this but just bc you wouldn't invite someone over to dinner or call them a friend or bc you can't relate to them in any conceivable way doesn't mean they don't deserve the same consideration you'd expect for yourself. Y'all are so wild. And you do it every time. "Ooh that's her fault that wouldn't happen to me I'm not Like That I'm Better and I'd never end up in that position " you think you'd have a choice?? It's Never Been Up To You.
#you will defend and condone a man for murder/rape/assault bc of whatever batshit reason but then a woman has the gall to breathe a way you#dont like and suddenly she an irredeemable piece of shit. we cant escape it. we know who this coutry voted into power.#and that's just white women im talking about!!! shaking my damn head!!! dont even get me started on my black and brown sisters!!#my patience after november is loooow chile this shit is insane to me

pre-dating gojo—him not giving up on her once his eyes are set on her. commenting on most of her pictures, following her on all her socials, having her and megumi pinned on his imessage , sending her flowers and little trinkets, him being the definition of “i see it, i like it, i want it, i got it.” wc; around 800
being a new teacher at jujutsu tech was overwhelming enough without the world’s most insistent sorcerer making you his personal project. from the moment you stepped foot onto the campus, satoru gojo had his sights set on you, and he wasn’t subtle about it. not even a little.
it started small at first, just lingering glances that made you wonder if you had something on your face. then came the compliments, always with that playful grin of his.
“looking sharp today,” he’d say casually, leaning against your classroom door. “you sure you’re not trying to impress someone?”
“just trying to look professional, gojo,” you’d reply, your tone firm even though his attention made your stomach flip.
but satoru gojo wasn’t one to give up when something, or someone, caught his interest.
within days, you noticed him popping up in your social media notifications. he’d followed you on everything, from instagram to twitter, even a random account you barely used. every post you made earned a comment, ranging from witty remarks to downright flirty observations.
“you really have an eye for photography,” he’d write under a scenic picture, only to follow it up with, “but the view isn’t as good as you.”
you weren’t sure if you wanted to scream or laugh, but the attention didn’t stop there.
flowers began appearing on your desk, beautiful arrangements with little notes scrawled in his messy handwriting. chocolates followed, and once, even your favorite coffee order appeared like magic during a particularly grueling morning. you tried asking who was leaving them, but every time, his students would either look away awkwardly or mutter something vague.
megumi, however, had no patience for it. “it’s obviously gojo-sensei,” he said flatly one afternoon when you found yet another bouquet. “he’s been insufferable lately.”
“fushiguro!” nobara scolded, but the slight eye roll she gave made it clear she agreed.
satoru’s antics didn’t stop there. he began finding excuses to help you with your students, offering “expert training tips” that often turned into elaborate demonstrations meant more to impress you than anyone else.
“see that?” he’d say after a particularly flashy display of cursed technique, turning to you with a cocky grin. “bet you can’t teach them that.”
“because it’s not practical,” you’d retort, ignoring the heat rising in your cheeks.
dont get me started on the memes chile... once you finally relented and gave him your number, your phone became a constant source of laughter; random memes, ridiculous videos, and occasionally, surprisingly thoughtful messages about your day.
“saw this and thought of you,” one text read, attached to a picture of a female cat on top of a male cat nuzzling noses.
it was impossible not to crack a smile, even if you tried to keep your responses measured.
but the cherry on top of gojo’s relentless pursuit? he’d even roped his students into it.
“you should just say yes already,” nobara said bluntly one day, crossing her arms as you prepared for a joint training session. “he’s annoying, but he’s also kind of great when you get past the… everything.”
megumi groaned. “don’t encourage her. he’s unbearable enough as it is.”
“he’s determined,” nobara corrected, smirking. “there’s a difference.”
you shook your head, trying to ignore how warm their words made you feel. it was hard to admit, even to yourself, that satoru’s persistence was starting to grow on you.
he was annoying, yes. overthetop? absolutely. but beneath the theatrics, there was a sincerity to his actions that you couldn’t ignore. he studied you, not in a creepy way. but in a way that made it clear he genuinely wanted to understand you.
the small things he did like— remembering your favorite snacks, asking about your hobbies, or noticing when you seemed stressed. spoke volumes about the kind of person he was beneath the surface.
one afternoon, after yet another “accidental” run in, you finally confronted him.
“what do you even want, gojo?” you asked, crossing your arms as you faced him in the courtyard.
he didn’t even flinch at your tone. instead, he smiled, that confident, playful grin softening ever so slightly.
“you,” he said simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
your breath hitched, and for once, you didn’t have a quick retort. maybe, just maybe, gojo’s persistence wasn’t as annoying as you thought.

GUYS I AM HERE TO BLESS YOU WITH MY VERSION OF ALFRED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WHICH HAVE BEEN PERFECTED AFTER MONTHS OF WORK
chile anyways
so ur gonna start off with 1/2 a cup of sugar, 3/4 a cup of brown sugar and two pinches of salt.
throw it together in a large bowl and mix it out using ur hands to get all the clumps out
i swear never use a utensil to mix anything while baking always do it with ur hands it tastes better trust me.
next ur gonna melt around a 100 grams of butter so just under half a cup
now what u wanna do is pour the butter into the sugar while its still hot then get up in there with some elbow grease and mix into the sugar until it has a sludge like texture and there are no clumps,
remember the butter must still be hot while u mix it up, not like boiling or anything but still hot <3
1 egg, throw it in there again mix it up, (for the love of god have some fun in life and keep mixing with ur hands its so much fun and it actually tastes so much better some how call it putting some love into ur baking, or even take ur anger out on the batter, its rlly therapeutic.)
next a cap of vanilla or a dash or whatever however much feels right
2 pinches of baking powder
and then 1 and 1/4 cup of flour, all together
then again in with your hands mix it up and put some elbow grease in there
now the chocolate chips, yum.
theres no fucking measurement for it, you measure that shit with your heart, just keep pouring till it feels right and looks right, and dont be afraid to snag a few chocolate chips here and there while you pour <33
oke so now ur gonna throw a lid on the bowl or wrap it with ceran wrap and throw it in the fridge for minimum an hour, the longer you leave it the better it tastes but max like 3 and 1/2 hours, i typically leave mine in for 1 and a 1/2 to 2 hours.
then your gonna take it out, let it soften for 5 minutes while your preheat your oven at 180C or 350F
then your gonna put parchment paper on the tray u’ll be baking on
then get ur cookie dough and start rolling it into whatever size balls feel right and place them on the tray.
then pop those babies in the oven for 15 minutes and let em bake, but dont forget to check in after 10 minutes.
take em outta the oven once its done, let it rest for like two minutes then pop them on the tray and leave em alone for like 5 or so minutes more
and voila ready to eat <33
they’ll have that crunch to them and still be soft on the inside without being raw so like best of both worlds
Also dont be afraid to make a mess while you bake, its half the fun and you can always clean up later <33

AITA for wanting to cut my step family out of my life?
TL;DR: im fine with never seeing/talking to any of them again, but my dad and my stepmom have really been on my case about how im "burning all my bridges" by not visiting.
I (19FTM) have 4 step siblings, CS (22M), CL (20F), LT (19F), and PR (17NB). I have known them since i was 7-8 years old, and when our parents married [my dad (53M) and their mom (49F)] we in moved with each other to a new house (i was around 11-12 at the time).
I frequently butted heads with them in the beginning bc i grew up an only child, but things mellowed out over the years, especially after CS and CL moved out. However, even after things started to calm down, i stilled butted heads with their mom. i still do even after ive moved out.
now none of them have like seriously & personally wronged me, and im actually pretty friendly with CS and PR. However, their mom and LT have really pissed me off in the past. Their mom for multiple reasons (transphobia, homophobia, taking my mom to court over petty reasons, and just generally very shitty behavior) and LT for outing me twice to the family.
i've moved in with my mom until i find an apartment of my own to move to, but my dad has been really on my ass about how im "burning bridges" by not visiting anymore, and how everyone there "misses me so much" and are "always asking where i am". he keeps going on about how sibling relationships are so important and we need to have each others backs, but honestly im just thinking "fuck that, i dont really care!"
contradictory to his statements, i get NO communication from them or about them at all from anyone. apparently LT has been in Greenland and then Chile for the whole summer and no one told me. CL is moving out of the country next year, and no one told me. None of them text or call me. EVER. so i just assume they don't want to talk, which im fine with!
i want NOTHING to do with their mom, and LT really grinds my gears whenever we're around. the last time i saw CS and PR was father's day '23, and the last time i saw CL and LT was probably Christmas '22. I'm fine with this, as the only one i actually like spending time with is PR.
so, AITA? I understand that im young, and my experiences not only growing up an only child but also how ive been treated by them factor into my choice, but part of me does wonder if visiting/keeping in touch (with at least some of them) would be beneficial.
What are these acronyms?

frienddd! okay, you think geto a ass or boob man?
hi hun!! here you go, instigatin😭🤭
this is actually a complicated ass question. neow, i think geto for sure is into big women. so is it rlly ass or boobs like... he just wants to suffocate himself in them frfr but he def prefers ass, i cant see him in any other way
he loves him a nice fat n chubby girl, prefers fat over muscle any day. he revels in the way their body spills over a tight top or jeans. he ESPECIALLY loves being able to grab a handful of ass, all of which cant eem fit in his two hands😭
hes def the type to see em walkin around and just smack they ass or grab it and he LOVES picking them up. its not even the generic weight shit every1 wants to talk about wit big girls😭 his big ass just adores picking up his girl, hands grabbing her ass and doing as he pleases.
it also makes his partners super flustered and his evil ass cant help but do it !! whether hes fuckin in that position, carrying you around the house, putting you on his lap: he wants to show how strong he is. for sureee is one of those traditional 'protect' and 'provide' men sprinkle sprinkle🤭
AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON DOGGY. why am i straying from the ask chile omg. geto's backshots are LETHAL. he is just mad skillful wit it.
fav thing to see is when brown skin starts to turn deep red wit the sting of his hips slapping against a fat ass fr, geto is a doggystyle demon i swear.
TO CONCLUDE MY WORD VOMIT😭 geto loves to shove his face in sum tits and grab sum ass but at the end of the day, ass takes the cake i fear (LMFAOO CAKE)
#WORD VOMIT OMG#frennie: privateparty3#getou x reader#getou suguru#jujutsu kaisen geto#﹒﹒﹒💗 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦: 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 💌 𓂃 !#﹒﹒﹒𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 ( ᷅ ·̫ ᷄ ) 💬 𓂃 !

Drop the hoe days lore 🤲 let me live through you
oh gawd lmfaoooo.
y'all want vegas stories? ive been like 8 times.
i got a story for y'all...its kinda funny dhfkldsfhjalksj.
so one of these times we were at ghost bar at the palms. it was like 2am so my friends with boyfriends went back to the hotel and me and my hoe friend stayed out. so at the time i had a HUGE crush on tom hiddleston bitch, like i wanted that man badddd. lmfao anyway so i see this guy and i nudged my hoe friend and was like "oh shit girl i know im rollin in the deep right now but this man look like tom hiddleston" and she did not see it but idgaf cause she didnt even think tom hiddleston was attractive lmfao. so i waited until the girl he was dancing with went somewhere with her friend then i immediately go up to him and start dancing with him. i mean there was no hi, it was just me throwing ass on my target grade tom hiddleston (literally cause this man was from kentucky). that was my mans for the night i did not care. lol so he has a friend my friend was into and so we all are dancing and they get us more drinks. so around 4 they were like "y'all wanna come back".
and in vegas i was on demon time. i promise im not forward at all usually but vegas does something to me and i get aggressive. because this guy was like "oh we have weed at our hotel room" and without messing a beat i said "don't get too high you can't fuck me." (BITCH WUT IS WRONG WITH MEEEEEEEE LOLODJOFJSDLFJSZ). This man was stuttering after, he did not know what tf to say lmfaooo. Honestly we didn't even smoke now that i think about it. him and his friend had two queens so we just turn off the lights and get to it once we get in. ngl he didnt have a monster dick or anything but it was above average and THICC, and more than i thought he would be packing for sure. we wore a condom initially but this man legit begged me to take it off cause he said i was so wet he got super whiny so i caved 😩
so anyway he has my ankles on his shoulders then all of a sudden we hear (i dont remember her exact words but it was something like) "OH MY GOD!!!OH MY GOD!!!—WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?? IT DOESN'T GO THERE!" Then my friend gets up and runs to the bathroom and shuts the door. THIS DUDE HAD MY FRIEND IN PRONE BONE AND STUCK IT IN HER BUTT DRY ON ACCIDENT CAUSE HE WAS SO DRUNK. LIKE NOT JUST A POKE FULLY INSIDE.😭😭😭😭😭😭
Mannnnn i was cutting tf up. i dont think i ever laughed so and been fucking at the same time, we was both laughing and still fucking dkfhaskfja. after we calm down after a few min he kinda slows down and asks me if i wanna go check on my friend and i was like "nah shes a big girl— let me ride you" this man forgot about her quickly 😭and then his drunk ass friend started throwing up but we still didnt stop.
then my friend comes out of the bathroom. (i never stopped riding this man) and shes like "i wanna go" and i was like "okayyyyy". chile i went to the bathroom he followed me and we fucked for another hour on the toliet seat and on the counter dhfakjdhsfasjkh (i aint shit lmfao)
and he STILL wanted to fuck me after we left the bathroom but i felt bad for my friend lol who was like already dressed and the room kinda smelled like puke then, plus i didnt want her walking back to our hotel by herself at like 5:30am lol (and tbh my coochie kinda hurt from how thick this man was). so i got dressed. we left then went to mcdonalds, dont worry i bought my hoe friend mcdonalds as an apology for not leaving sooner so im not a completely horrible friend 😩.
he definitely texted me the next night but we had an early flight the next day or i would have went back.

need to talk all of you about this amazing movie i watched after watching a couple of duds (sometimes we have to watch duds to find gold)--
and you think 'oh its another hallmark movie'--no. as u can see it's 'reel one entertainment'. dont confuse them. (its like the same thing)
anyway--'the marry me pact', starring Rejected Property Brother #19203 (i assume they have more of them in canada) and Brunette American Carey Mulligan--brings the drama in this 'my best friends wedding' rip off.
opens with rory (rejected property brother) on his 29th birthday reminding 'charlotte' of the pact they made at 21--(bc some girl dumped him) that if he wasn't married by 30 he could marry his best friend charlotte (american carey mulligan). and rory wants to cash in bc this is his face when charlotte says 'yeah but u weren't serious right?'
he was charlotte. he was.
so then she buys him a plane ticket out of miami to like, south america or something. as a present.
then its a year later.
charlotte visits a psychic for research purposes (she's a writer). the psychic tells her 'hey girl there's a man in ur life and also a pact to marry him'. she got all that fm tarot cards. but at no point does she actually do any book research. its over. now the idea of getting a man is in her head.
and boy does it. bc then at the end of the day shes like 'what if rory is the love of my life???' uh u didnt even want him a year ago....
psychic tells her one thing and she's all in.
then rory calls her and is like 'im back in miami' and says 'i have some things i need to tell you'
so they're at dinner (it's pizza at her sister's restaurant. bc a man wrote this so they just eat pizza its their favorite food blah blah blah) and he's like 'yeah i want to settle down. i started to envision that for myself', she's like---
thinking he's gonna say its her. out of nowhere.
but then rory says 'i met rachel!'
charlotte:
then rory's like 'oh yeah we're engaged. and getting married in 3 weeks. and also can u be my best man? and on top of that, can u help me plan my wedding, bc im absolutely useless'.
charlotte: uhh
rory: you're gonna love her. she's a nerd like you. she loves food, like you. she loves the green witch fm that musical, like you. in fact, why dont you meet her right now?
yes, why dont we.
this is charlotte and rachel hugging:
this is rachel in case you're confused.
and this all three of them having wine in his kitchen--
that's right. rory went to south america and found the first american brunette that looked like charlotte and called it a day.
this man is sick.
then charlotte's like 'damn it looks like u couldnt get rory to have better taste in art' and rory's like 'uhh that's one of rachel's paintings' and then rachel spills wine on charlotte. but it was an accident.
im not kidding that really happens and i laughed.
moving on to another hilarious moment--charlotte's finally checking her fan mail that's been sitting in her organized office for 6 months--and what does she see? a postcard rory wrote her from chile declaring his love for her and he says in it 'you dont have to reply and nothing will change between us if you dont feel the same way'
charlotte reading this like--
and what does she do after this? nothing. she just mopes. like a loser.
then later, somehow in a big city like miami, they all run into each other---
the woman in blue is charlotte's pizza sister, she has a boring ass romantic subplot of her own but it doesn't matter.
the script makes it a point to tell us that rory and charlotte love bookstores bc they 'make them feel safe' while rachel the fiancée complains that she likes hitchcock movies but rory falls asleep during them.
rachel is such a loser for liking 'psycho' meanwhile im pretty sure rory's lying about knowing how to read.
anyway he has the audacity to complain that charlotte hasn't been helping him plan his wedding to another woman, literally in front of her (rachel). bc apparently charlotte's been blowing him off. gee, i wonder why.
then he tricks her into going to find a tux and then he tricks her into trying out a wedding dress with the excuse of 'i just want to make sure i look good standing next to rachel in her dress'
we dont even know what rachel's wearing. but sure.
anyway, this little freak got what he wanted.
then charlotte's like 'can u get my shoe off, its stuck in the dress' idk how that even happens but whatever--
then that little freak got what she wanted. ect ect.
of course we get a scene of his brother saying 'hey we always thought you would marry rory lol' and then charlotte leaves immediately.
then we meet the psychic again who says she got a vision of a woman in a wedding dress leaving a wedding. and we think 'oh is she gonna run out on rory?' but the psychic says, what i think is a great line, 'my child, i dont get visions of the future. i get visions of the past'
charlotte and anyone watching this: what?
psychic: i dont make the rules.
this is the worst psychic in miami. she'll give you the lottery's numbers but it'll be the winning numbers fm like, a year ago.
so then its like 10 days before the wedding and we're doing cake testing with rory, rachel and his best friend charlotte.
rachel when charlotte shows up:
rachel (in private), is like ' wtf is she doing here??'
rory: shes helping us out.
rachel: i thought this was something we could decide together??
rory: i could tell her to go...she does find this all tedious..
rachel: no..i dont want to make things uncomfortable
rory: i think u should be happy someone like her is helping me tho bc im so stupid :\
rachel: yeah ur right :\
personally i think rory is getting away with too much.
so theyre tasting cakes but rory and rachel dont agree and ask charlotte and of course charlotte like's rory's choice, which leads to another hilarious moment--
rachel: well what do you know about wedding cake?
charlotte: i know you never ate your first one
and then rachel almost chokes on her own spit.
fast forward--rory's like 'what was that about?' and charlotte's like 'uh nothing'.
rory: do you mind cutting rachel some slack? its important to me that you two get along.
charlotte: i promise.
so now rory has two women apologizing to him for fuck ups he initiated.
let me remind you that a man wrote this.
then charlotte has to apologize to rachel and takes her to a Hitchcock retrospective. rachel's tells us about her failed engagement that happened 'years ago'. but then charlotte stalks down the ex fiancé and finds out rachel left him a year ago. not 'years ago'.
and if you think that's gonna come up later or be resolved--you're wrong.
then charlotte had to help rory find the location of his wedding and we find out that he hasnt written his vows.
rory: u know im terrible at writing. you'll help me right?
like,,,is there anything rory's good at? i dont think so.
now im fastforwarding filler scenes to get to the bachelor weekend--
the boys and charlotte go on some partnered up seeing sight hike and rory's sprains his ankle in his attempt at trying to win...something.
later that night, charlotte and rory have a talk.
rory: im sorry about the hike. i rushed into it--
charlotte: like you do everything--
rory: what does that mean??
charlotte: you rush into everything--today, the south america trip, this wedding--
rory: you supported me doing that trip--u basically bullied me into doing it--
(she did no such thing)
rory: u dont like rachel. that's the problem.
charlotte: that is not true. i dont think u should be declaring that you're gonna spend the rest of your life with someone u dont even know.
rory: why are you telling me this now? my wedding is next week.
charlotte: exactly! i dont want you making some huge mistake! maybe you need more time to decide if this is something you really want--
rory: i do want this
charlotte: does she?
rory: what are you talking about?
and then charlotte spills about rachel's runaway bride incident and shes like 'does that sound like someone who knows what she wants??'rory's like 'you went behind my back'. which is not true imo.
rory: i would have thought you had more faith in me, as my best friend.
charlotte: your best friend? you barely contacted me while you were away.
rory: i contacted you. i wrote to you. i told you i had feelings for you. that i had feelings for you for years. you ignored it.
charlotte: i never got the post card. not until recently.
rory:
charlotte: it's too late now anyway
rory, grasping at straws: i mean...do u feel the same??
charlotte: it doesnt matter now does it?
rory, still grasping at straws: doesn't it??
and then charlotte says what i think is the best line in this whole movie---
charlotte: no because you left the fate of our relationship to the postal service!
(i just want to say that it is no way the post office's fault. that fan mail bag was in her office long before that. so the USPS delivered. she just just never bothered to read her fanmail. USPS is a great service and we should continue to support it. thank you. )
rory, seeing that he's not gonna his shot with charlotte: so why are you bringing this up to me now? we had all of our 20's for you to tell me how you felt. now im engaged and im happy and you want to dredge all this up---
( he's the one who brought up the postcard!!! he also could have said something in his 20's!!!! )
Charlotte: all of this has been really hard for me
rory: so what do u want me to do? not get married? have you and i try and figure out whats going on?
(that's literally what he wants. he's still hanging on for hope)
charlotte: I can't tell you what to do.
rory: you know what? this is so selfish of you. i cant believe that you chose this moment to do this.
charlotte's face rn:
girl ur being gaslight !! get out!!!
rory: i would have expected a lot more fm my best friend. i think u should leave and i think its best you dont come to the wedding.
he's literally the worst. he didn't get his declaration of love and he's like 'okay get out. ur uninvited to the wedding i made you help me plan'
anyway shes back to moping when really she should have booked a flight out of miami to get away fm him.
she gets flowers and she thinks its fm him--
WRONG! its her agent telling her to get her ass up and get to work!!
and she's really happy about it. she's like 'i love work. work is never gonna uninvite me to its wedding or gaslight me or make me plan a wedding'.
then rory and rachel have a pizza dinner night before their wedding and they realize they dont dont know anything about each other and when rachel tells him to ask her anything, he has nothing to ask her.
yeah because he doesnt care about you rachel. ur were a charlotte replacement. wake up.
also this card is fm target. i know bc i have this same stack in my drawer.
its the wedding day and rachel's missing (the escalade broke down) and rory's panicking but he makes his brother call her. this man is useless. he has everyone else doing thing for him. can someone kill him?
so charlotte sees rachel running through the park and she's like 'i'll help u get to wedding on this scooter and i promise it wont look gay'
that promise was broken.
so rory and rachel make it down the aisle and they almost do get married until rory has his flashback thinking about charlotte and then at the same time rory and rachel stop the wedding. but instead of rory being a man and being the one to say 'i cant marry you bc i love someone else' --rachel is the one to stop it and take the blame. she runs out and gets charlotte.
rory tries to apologize for being a dick but charlotte doenst let him and then takes more blame.
you think theyre gonna get married but luckily that doesnt happen.
rory: you know i think you'd make a better wife than best woman
(so he's still trying to trap her)
charlotte: for now why dont we get a slice and watch some figure skating?
rory: i like that.
yeah, those are things HE likes to do. we dont really know what SHE likes to do.
and then they kiss--
i know i said at the beginning that this was an amazing movie and if you've read this far, you're like 'this wasn't amazing'.
i said it was amazing, i didnt say it was good. it was just incredibly messy and i think rory should die.
3\5 stars for being incredibly messy.
#the marry me pact#i did not live blog this and i wish i had#i recap a hallmark style movie--if u want to watch it afterwards well thats ur decision isn't it

i just read your bottom mike points and its the most sense ive ever read on that topic, considering im a top mike truther. not so much dom mike, cos i think theyre equals, but your thing about mike chiling and come down to wills level was interesting. it makes me wonder how these dynamics would have played out if there was never this supernatural threat... i got the sense that mike still always led, because of how he approached will on the swings, and their little bickers in the whole group even, outside of monster stuff (like the ghostbusters venkman thing). mike being the de facto leader, soft version when with will, seemed like something that had simply always been. he's soft with will, but usually when he thinks will needs caring for. when will isnt in danger, i dont think mike is soft or chill necessarily. so its interesting that you see a matured, grown-into-himself and secure mike as 'chilling'.
and lastly, if they both come down and meet on this equal level of softness, how is that still evidence of mike being a sub? surely that would make them both soft vers?
but your points did make sense and i like that there are some bottomsub mike people out there who dont just see him as a babygirl
all really fair points anon!!
i think it’s just the way i see it or prefer, i guess? i don’t think i ever claimed that theres evidence of mike being a sub, since i’m of the strong belief that there’s no evidence for their sexual dynamic at all.
it’s really just how i prefer to think about it if i had to pick my favorite dynamic or what i’d lean towards when i’m writing.. lmao i think we’re pretty much on the same page tho, since i’m also a top mike truther who thinks they’re equals. so, sure, soft vers is a great description - but my personal preference is that mike is perfectly fine submitting to whatever will says and (for the reasons i said) will is perfectly fine not only asking for what he wants but also taking care of mike bc he wants mike to feel so good (which there is huge evidence for in s4). i’m not forcing others to see it this way, it’s just what i like 🥲 (also i should note that this isn’t the only dynamic i like when thinking of byler concepts, i like it all 😮💨 but when talking about which part of their canon dynamic is most satisfying/realistic to me i guess?)
(but i’d rather not have more people come to my inbox saying ‘well what you’re describing is actually still dom mike,’ because to me it’s not. i don’t see him that way as a default/usual assumed dynamic for them.)
to address what you said about mike’s behaviors being more dominant-leaning even outside of supernatural stuff, i guess my stance is that you can’t really separate it? like the way he was in s2 from the start was bc he felt crazy about el being alive or not. and him being the softer version with will is yes bc he has a sense of feeling like he’s taking care of someone, ((((((which i could argue isn’t a traditionally masc role but i won’t)))))) but also because it’s a safe place for him. i agree with you that he is 1000% the de facto leader of their group. he also paralleled joyce a lot in s1 with his persistence in getting will back and getting the others on board, while also being the gentlest and most nurturing of the boys with eleven.
what i love about mike is that he isn’t a violent person, like, at all - and it’s shown in the times that he does try and defend himself/others - it’s unnatural. i love that he can be the leader who people look to for guidance but not because he demands it, he just is. he’s the quietest in the party when theyre at the arcade in s2. there’s a common theme of will trusting and confiding in him where he wouldn’t with others. themes of nurturing, safe haven, emotional intelligence, follow mike before the clear shift in s2-3 when things start to become unmanageable for him. there are a lot of things that set him apart from dustin and lucas in s1 as far as typical masc traits and how they treat el (especially noticeable with lucas, since he and mike have pretty similar motive to get will back).
as far as him not being soft or chill w will when he’s not in danger, i guess we’ll have to agree to disagree? i’m thinking about “another 90 miles, why” and the softness in his tone when theyre on the couch, before will discloses that 001 isn’t dead. demanding and aggressive isn’t his default in a comfort setting. it’s just something that’s easy to pick up on for me, something i enjoy exploring more of, and a cool thing about fanfiction is that ability to have different interpretations or see qualities in characters that you focus on more while others choose different ones to expound on.
i’ve always said i think it’s presumptuous to assume the mike we see, with his clear multitude of external pressures, is the one he’ll be years from now. (will too, but mike is the focus here). and it’s really not far fetched when you look at how he is in his earlier days that he’s softer than the typical boy and would likely level back to that when settled and regulated.
thanks for the ask & i’m glad my take made a little sense 🩵 i mostly end up word vomiting when it comes to the mike topic

my gamedev project is giving me mad anxiety to the point of nausea and sleeplessness ;;A;;
you may or may not know but i am in the process of making a game with a team in chile. there's a big language and timezone barrier with only 2 people on the team comfortable speaking in english.
the issue is that i am supposed to be the art director on the project and while i did make a lot of important art decisions at the start, now i have almost 0 control over the art. the artist in the team almost exclusively makes the art and does whatever she feels is right and i am only informed about what's going on later.
i understand that since she doesnt speak english, it's hard for her to discuss things with me, plus timezone diff is a bitch.
there's a difference in power between me and my mentor (who's the head of this team)because obv while this is my game and vision (that i've been developing for 3 years alone), it's HER team thats helping me realise it (for free)
i feel so uncomfortable because i am indebted to her for this opportunity but also like, i dont like the direction where it's headed (aesthetically)
this thing has been sapping my mental energy for weeks now and i feel so detached from this project at times (even thought it's my baby). i know i should speak to my mentor but i am so afraid of sounding ungrateful, jealous or entitled, esp because the artist is close friends with her.
i did ask my mentor if we could have a talk sometime this week (without going into details) and she said we'll see, so if she doesnt set up a meeting my tomorrow, i will have to tell her everything over chat which i dont wanna do (since it may be misinterpreted)
anyway, i am writing all this just to get it off my chest. at times i feel i should just let the project finish without interfering and then make something else thats closer to my heart but i also feel like it's wrong if i dont fight for my vision. idk
i feel constantly on the verge of tears because of this because i know they're not doing this maliciously which makes it harder for me to speak up and i am just terrified of sounding unprofessional or bratty

Bestie! I have survived the return from travel after a festive vaca - funny enough primarily being a family cabin week! Things all good w you? Hope August has been treating you well so far. Happy to report that this time I made it through Dallas seamlessly both ways. Disappointingly but not surprisingly, I missed the wifey. Which ofc I totally understood as she’s back at work, but it was a little uncharacteristically unkind of her to be posting photos in bathing suits and crop tops at the time (belly button ring?! Looking ultra respectfully ha)
The Olympics sure ended on a high note, mostly courtesy of ⚽️/🏀/🏃♀️. Let the women do the work 💪! Winning is just the best feeling :). Honestly the only really unfortunate things were the Noah Lyles Covid ordeal (impressed you could still run like that but cmon man) and Jordan Chiles getting ripped the hell off. Dont really know what to do w myself in the evenings now that the games are over though. Thank God the W will be returning to us in a matter of days! Need to mentally prepare for Mystics and NYL to put me through it. Im ready to get hurt again ~Michael Scott voice.
Brief review time- Ok Ch 5 was a continued roller coaster of emotions. And Ch 6 was delightfully sweet.. your lovely fic has been a Godsend to Mondays btw 👏
Lastly, a minor bit of VT stuff: because it involves some music and why not share a little (more) angst. Saw this recent playlist of Liz's posted around. And umm yeah https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/pl.u-38oW9b3tLb72ak
Oh belatedly now on the UConn drama, yeah just no thank you. Also R. Johnson, C. Mcmahon, J. Gyamfi & H. Stuelke can all move along while we're kinda on the topic of problematic..
All my best -☕️
HI BESTIE!!!!
Omg cabin week? Are you secretly a Bueckers? August has been tiring but I'm going to Europe at the end of the month for a much needed vacation, so I'm just counting down the days tbh.
THE BELLY BUTTON PIERCING EATS. Your wife's been looking might fine (respectfully ofc as she's my SIL obvi)
The women fr fr carrying the medal count on their backs cause some of these mem did some dumb shit but ah well, love my women always! Ugh yes the Noah Lyles thing left a bitter taste in my mouth and let's not even get started on how absolutely furious I am about the whole Jordan debacle. SHE DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER.
I'm so glad you liked it babes <3
OH! Those songs are QUITE inchresting and the emojis? She's going through it poor girlie.
The list of problematic people just continues to grow and grow and grow and I'm so tired of it cause I wanna root for so many of those people. I do wanna say the Raven one apparently was her just repeating what someone called her? Still not okay for her to say the slur ofc but it maybe wasn't malicious?
