#and he GENUINELY BELIVES he’s doing fine things

[imaginmatrix]

my lukeophobia has reached a peak

I love writing him as those subtle creeps who ARE hot and charming and seem really great on the outside— he’s not an incel, he’s smart, and he’d call himself a feminist which makes him and his manipulation SO MUCH MORE INSIDIOUS

[elsa-fogen]

Oh, Husk and Alastor?

Their dynamic is also pretty interesting, they kinda feel like two people who everyone thinks gets along great and are the best of friends. While in reality their friendship is fueled but a fire born from their hatred. They just have many decent moments and have a easy time understanding each other, through they often use that information to serve a selfish endeavor.

Like Alastor would mess with Husk, tease him and Husk would tell Al to get his act together so that he(Husk) doesn't have to deal with some sort of fallout (ref. when Mimzy comes by)

In general, I feel like they do get along really well, but they are in no way friends. Kinda like how you can get along well with your boss, but wouldn't really consider them a friend. And you wouldn't really want them to involve themselves in your life, but that doesn't stop Alastor. (Social conversions? What's that)

This also makes me curious, wonder what kind of dynamic Husk has with Rosie, or rather, how do you think Rosie sees Husk? Just like a pet Alastor has? Or does she actually see the person that is there? (Leaning more towards her not really seeing Husk more than a errand boy or pet of Alastor)

Though it would be fun if the first time Husk meet Rosie he thought that she might actually be willing to help him because she gives of the energy of being a very kind person around people she cares about (aka Alastor). So he tries to talk to her without Alastor present and he finally understands how they get along so well, they are both the same kind of crazy ᵔᵜᵔ

So, um- what are your thoughts on the dynamic between Alastor and Husk?

HEEEHEHHE YOU GOT ME A REASON TO TALK ABOUT MY FRESH HEADCANON ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIPS

OKAY SO!!

I saw a theory that Husk had children when he was alive. Keep that in mind, it's a secret tool we wanna use later

So, little bit about Alastor. He is not the guy who owns many souls. In fact, he doesn't own any (well... i have some headcanons, but it's for another time). The only soul he has is Niffty, and she's... she's whole another level.

So one day Alastor get's Husk's soul in posession and he has no idea what to do with him. Their contract is basically "you'll have to do anything i order you" but it doesn't set any boundaries for Husk. So he can insult Alastor, argue with him and so on. The only thing he cant is to try to kill Alastor, but it's obvious.

So, Alastor's just... drags him around, and Husk has to just be there all the time, and watch Alastor do stupid shit without thinking, being manipulated by Mimzy into some shenanigans and so on, because he's too powerful, kinda don't afraid of anything and little bit unhinged. And Husk is trying to be that voice of sanity for Alastor (and maybe Niffty). Like in canon, he tries to warn Alastor about Mimzy nd at some point seems genuinely worried about him. Just a bit. And also, in that scene in final song, when Alastor appears again, Husk doesn't seem happy but still goes for group hug.

I think he sees Alastor as a child he has to babysit, but the child is so spoiled, that he doesn't give a shit about his warnings. Maybe Al reminds him of his own children at some degree. And so Husk is attached to Alastor in some weird unhealthy way, he cares about him and tries to protect, even if it pointless.

The worst part of it is that Alastor doesn't see him more than funny fluffy cat-guy-pet. He almost never takes him seriously and doesn't listen to what he says. So Husk may try to reach out to Rosie, to make her to reason with Alastor. But she's basiclly "i could fix him, but whatever is wrong with him is way funnier". I think she listens to Husk's worries about another Alastor's scheme, but she also trusts Alastor? I mean, she belives that he'll be fine. But if something seems to dangerous, she can agree and talk to Alastor.

After all, Husk was an overlord, and i think Rosie could know him before he made a deal with Alastor. So, i think she doesn't think of Husk as just Al's pet, she knows who he is. After all, not every sinner can become an overlord. But still,

So, last thing. I saw that one comic where after episode 5 Alastor admits that Husk was right about Mimzy and i really love this thought. I think Alastor also likes Husk's presence at some degree. Maybe they could build something healtier, maybe Alastor, after losing part of his powers, would listen to Husk more. But still it's all fucked up while Alastor owns his soul.

And also, i'd really love to see something of just Alastor, Husk and Niffty getting into some shenanigans together, this would be so much fun. Al and Niff who are just 2 unhinged gremlins and Husk who's done with their shit, but still cares about them and can't just leave, and it's not because of the deal. Like i imagine when husk is trying to reason with Alastor that he's about do something stupid and dangerous and Alastor's like well i don't force you to follow us this time, but Husk still goes with them because who else would watch after these two idiots?

So i think, i get your point about them!

I desperately hope that the "spell book on therianthropy" is a Chekov's gun. That we get to see Buttons telling the crew that he's learning these new powers, and no one belives him and they all think it's stupid and he's been taken for a ride. And then at a critical moment, everyone looks away from Buttons to focus on the Immenant Danger, and when they look back there's a seagull or something standing where he used to be and the crew all believe that he can transmogrify now. I'm genuinely fine with it being a comedy beat and with the crew looking on in wonder as the seagull flies away only for Buttons to come up behind them and ask what everyone's looking at, or if it's played straight and that's just a thing that Buttons can do now because of course Buttons can.

You know maturing is realizing no Ford wasn't over reacting actually in tale of two stans.

When I first watched it I dint really get how upsetting it really is to have some one you know and trust simplely not belive or care about your dreams and goals. Now I get it it sucks like Ford is into science becuse he loves it and he's passionate about it and stans like that's lame boat life. Like even with out it looking like stan broke Ford's porject stan was being a bit manipulative to Ford trying to talk him out of collage. And Stan is right to feel hurt but there was room for more conversation than boat life or collage. Also it is important to Ford tp change the world positively partly becuse he feels the need to prove he's not just a freak but also becuse he genuinely cares about the world. Like Ford isn't emotionally intelligent but he does want to help people in a way that's core to him and when Stan makes fun of that it's like makeing fun of part of what makes Ford Ford.

Also I'll give Ford they dint have cellphones. Stan was on the run he dint have a house Ford couldn't simply look stan up. The best Ford could have done is tell his mom to tell stan he wanted to talk witch like tenicaly maybe he did. We know stan tried to call Ford once and bailed. Ford dint know stan was homeless if he did he porbaly would have had Stan stay with him ,but as far as Ford would realistically know form what there mom would have told them stan was fine being a traveling sales men and had made zero efort to contact him.

You know with the context of Ford just know stan travels his whole take this book and leave thing isn't *as* unhinged as it first seemed either.

I do still think Ford was a little dramatic about how poorly he took Stans rescue attempt. Stan learned nerd shit to try as save you give the guy some credit.

I think the biggest issue with shield hero is the author accidentally wrote motoyasu into being in the right. this wouldn't have been an issue if they decided to address it instead of tripling down on him "being an idiot" instead of a morally upright dude who believed a woman when she claimed to be raped.

Naofumi for all intensive purposes looks like the most reprehensible motherfucker on the planet from the outside. I wouldn't take his goddamn side. but the story NEEDS you to be with him. so they thoroughly make him sympathetic before he buys the child slave. now don't get me wrong I love this plot point. I think "protagonist buys a child slave" could have been a fucking awesome story. but the author didnt actually want to go into how fucked up that is. they just wanted to write isekai wish fulfillment about a guy at the bottom revenge plotting his way to the top. this is fine to. this can be a perfectly serviceable or even good plot. the problem is the second sheild hero stops being a dark fantasy (episode 5) it gets obscenely boring. like so fucking dull.

this is because they didn't know how to get you onto naofumis (the man who owns a child slave) side without making the antagonist needlessly over the toply cruel (myne) or the most annoying performtive idiot on the planet (motoyasu)

lets examine motoyasu. hes a womanizer. not very bright. believes myne when she claims to be raped. duels naofumi to free a slave.

none of these things are bad. his attempt at free raphtalia (the slave) is maybe a tad performative, naofumi calls this out himself when he brings up slavery being legal, but its not evil. it GOOD. even if its a little to do with his personal beef with naofumi that to could just be interesting writing.

hes FLAWED (being gullible) yes but thats just being a well written character. (he isnt)

so the shows written a well meaning but flawed antagonist. hes against the protagonist bc he rightfully believes him an irredeemable monster who raped women and own slaves.

what will be done with this charater? nothing interesting i assure you. the episode after the duel instead of having him question why the slave girl actually liked naofumi at all (the man they at this point belive to BE A RAPIST (he isnt but they dont know that)) he shows up at a village to become a figure head lord. mynes calling all the shots. and she says the first decree will be that anyone who enters the village will have to pay a toll of FIFTY SILVER. FIFTY! Naofumi then says a night a board AND food is only 2. Thats above cartoonishly evil. thats just stupid. youre not going to make any money that way no one's going to be able to afford the fee. your just killing a village to kill it.

What does motoyasu do when this VERY CLEAR EVIL is happening right in front of him by HIS SIDE? look stupid and double down bc he doesnt like naofumi. he shows hes willing to fuck over a TON of people just to get a go at one guy.

this is the second their whole dynamic becomes so boring. it becomes "naofumi right"; "motoyasu stupid". when motoyasu loses his assumed moral high ground. when hes no longer fighting for what he believes is right.

whereas before their clashes had been moral and even nuanced to a degree now its just a postering idiot and a guy who can inly be bothered bc hes LITERALLY GENUINELY being forced to.

I'm torn between not caring about Ning Yingying and Qiu Haitang and hating them tenfold. Why did the rumor persists? When I watched the donghua, I found Ning Yingying so freaking annoying. Although in the latter part of the novel, there were improvments. The PIDW Ning Yingying, did she never defend her Shizun from the lecherous rumors that still persist or no one believed her because she's a dumb kid in their eyes? She really backstabbed him the one person he favored and she let everything be destroyed for Binghe what justification is there except she was a stupid? Did she not care for people and her her Shizun lol like she's worse than the scum villain himself at least he's got integrity. i'm sorry to say but deing a dumbfuck or naive ain't an excuse just cause she's a girl.

And Qiu Haitang, is she another stupid girl who can't she her supposed "love" is being abused. There may not be scars visible but being so thin or signs will be obvious. Or ask herself why a slave would do such a thing after many years you think with age comes wisdom she didn't have that

Maybe I just really hate their rose-tinted eyes, privilege and stupidness.

And Yue Qingyuan, how did you become a Sect Master when you can't even talk and explain things to your Shidi? I get he has trauma but I look at Shen jiu right and even though he also had trauma he goes above to save him and to do everything even with that trauma and you're telling me a few words can't qualify. He can't fucking defend his own shidi or believe him.

He never belives him does he ? Someone could replace his Xiao Jiu and he'll won't notice oh wait that already happened... Imagine someone you knew for years you won't know some signs or investigate further beside that one time I know Shen Yuan didn't do such a great job they checked him for possession I think ? But seriously... If it was the other around knowing Shen jiu he'd do his best to bring him back because he loyal as hell. That how I know how unfair this is because Shen jiu is such an all for nothing guy and he wastes it on him is such a shame because what benefit has this man brought except pain.

I genuinely feel bad for Shen jiu because the bar for people is low just being even a smidge kind to him and he'll do anything for you is sad as hell because the world he lives in is complete dogshit. Yue Qingyuan is such a low bar to i'm sorry but he is to even have if you want a dependable and reliable figure that there for you when they just mess more shit up more. He ain't Lan Zhan that for sure . My god, Liu Qinghe the type if you want a loyal man he fought Luo Binghe for 5 years for his SVSS corpse such dedication in such a short time too and they hated each other. If Shen jiu heard me talking shit about his Qi-ge that's fine lol because it true he ain't much.

Everything is a mess. I feel like they just messed up Shen Jiu's life. What value had they brought in my man's life if not pain.

Sluggy, i'mma tell you a story and I need you to spread it as far as you are able:

There once was this girl called Claire, she voiced Sweetie Belle in MLP:FiM, she started when she was VERY young and by age 14 she met a 23 year old fan of the show named Gabriel. Also known as Black Gryph0n.

Now, him being a fan of the SHOW wouldn't have been a BAD thing, if he didn't focus so much on becoming friends with this minor and her family. Years later, they got married. She's now 24 and he's 33. They both swear up and down that she wasn't groomed. And it would be acceptable had they met as adults. But they... Didn't.

Plenty of BIG youtubers have actively supported Black Gryph0n. Among them? Saberspark. Matpat. CG5. Saberspark specifically defended their relationship even from the words of her parents, whom were allegedly abusive. Even if they were it doesn't erase the ick.

Saberspark defended a pedophile. Don't believe him in anything he says.

Oh yeah that guys is absolutely discusting. Fist time I hear that story, I genuinely couldn’t belive it. It doesn’t make it any better that the dude absolutely was obsessed with Sweetie Bell’s character and used his relationship with her VA as a means to essentially get away with his fantasies surrounding the character. That’s a sick person. Even if you like a fictional character, it’s completely obsessive and unhealthy behavior to then groom that fictional characters VA just because you like that character. Because that’s absolutely what happened. Guys a pedophile even before they started dating tbh and I can’t ever see him without disgust

That’s the issue with people grooming minors until they are “of acceptable age” though. It’s such a nasty situation, and the groomers involved know that nobody can do anything about it legally since the victim is now an adult. And you can’t tell the victims anything because it only draws them closer to their groomer since they want to be adults who can make adult decisions for themselves. And it’s true, they are adults who can make those decisions. But adults are still victims of abuse in the same ways that minors can be, and that’s part of the manipulation tactic these people use. “I can’t groom you, you’re an adult”, when adults can be groomed as well. I feel bad that people like that are in those situations, but you can’t treat them like they are still minors or incapable of making their of choices in life. It’s a double edged sword for everyone involved.

I’m not trying to say that he didn’t defend a pedophile (he has), more like that specific mention wasn’t the best way to show it. Just wasn’t the best example and on its own, what he said was true. The relationship is wrong, it does make you feel gross to think about, but legally it’s fine. That’s a fact, as sad as it may be. Imo, the age gap and power imbalance that comes from that makes relationships like this INCREDIBLY immoral, and I can still look at the older involved person in disgust. But morality and law don’t go hand and hand as much as you’d think.

Killing people is illegal, not because it’s simply wrong to kill, but because you are objectively taking away that person’s right to live. You take away their agency, their human right to be alive, that’s why it’s illegal. It’s still wrong to kill, but if we were basing that law solely on that morality, then killing in self defense or from accident would be treated the same way as killing in cold blood. But legally, everything needs to be looked at from a logical perspective more than anything else so that the crime fits the punishment. Same thing can be applied to other crimes as well. Grooming on its own isn’t a crime, but sexual abuse is. Grooming is a cause for suspicion though

I already have to take a grain of salt with anything Saberspark says. That’s how it should be with any YouTube persona. Especially when it’s at a certain point in popularit, they say whatever gets them views lol.

MLC AU Part 2

a continuation of the previous MLC AU Part 1

------------------

Imagine Li Xiangyi still feeling guilty about everything so he ran away after everything was over because he’s afraid Di Feisheng would hate him when he got his memory back

Imagine DFS finally getting his memory back and ended up being the one chasing LXY around so they can get married cause for him his beloved can do no wrong and he just doesn’t give a fuck

However, what if LXY truly belive that DFS is after him for revenge, so everytime DFS found LXY, somehow he always tried to avoid him, over and over again

“Di Mengzhu, I don’t mind talking to you but after we solve this case ok?” but he would always run away the moment the case is solved

What if everytime DFS managed to corner him, LXY would always find an excuse, because he’s afraid to face DFX, not because he’s afraid of death, but because he genuinely feels guilty about almost killing him and what happened to DFS for the last decade, and he truly believe DFS would never forgive him for that, cause after all, he knew that freedom is what matters most to DFS

What if LXY simply couldn’t bear to hear DFS say that he doesn’t love him anymore or that he hates him, so he chose to run, without knowing that DFS truly never blamed him and genuinely just want to spend the rest of his days with LXY

Imagine after all those time seeing LXY looking so sad and miserable in his presence, but could actually laugh happily when he’s with other people like Qiao Wanmian or even with Zhan Yunfei and Yun Biqiu who clearly had poisoned him at some point, DFS finally started to think that maybe, maybe LXY truly doesn’t love him anymore, that maybe he truly think that DFS no longer deserves to be with him after knowing everything about his past

Imagine DFS finally decided to give up, cause after all, isn’t Xiangyi’s happiness and wellbeing the most important thing? and if his presence wound ruin all that, then maybe he should just leave him alone after all

Imagine DFS spending his days drinking his sorrows away without realizing that Jiao Liqiao was still out there following his every move, waiting for her chance

What if JLQ managed to poison his wine, captured him, and then severed all his tendons to make sure that DFS would never run away from her ever again

Imagine DFS just stayed put without even trying to get away, after all, he has already been freed from the mind-controlling bug then destroyed the Di fortress and took his revenge, so what else is left for him in this world? without his Xiangyi, why should he care about life anymore

After sometime, imagine LXY started to feel that something is wrong, wehere is A Fei? Didn’t he keep on perstering him for the last couple of months? Where did he go? Did he feel like LXY is not worth the trouble and just decided to leave? No, its not like him, DFS would always finish what he started, if he want revenge, he would definitely get it, so why? Where is he?

Imagine LXY finally started to investigate and managed to find that JLQ took DFS away

Imagine LXY managed to find her hideout and saw what she did to DFS

Imagine LXY feeling an intense fury like never before, and in his rage, he slaugthered JLQ and every single one of her underlings, then proceeded to raze the whole fortress to the ground

After all of that, imagine DFS feeling confused, didn’t he hate me? Then why?

What if these two foolish men finally got around and actually talk to each other while LXY used his yangzhouman to help heal DFS

What if LXY finally decided to stop running and just face the music, but first let me heal you ok A Fei? After, I’ll listen to everything that you want to say to me, and if you want to kill me, that would be fine too, I won’t run away anymore

Imagine DFS feeling so incredulous thinking, Xiangyi what the hell? Why would I ever hate you let alone want to kill you? none of it is your fault! ok, maybe that day we could’ve talk first instead of just started to fight, but I was also at fault for not trying to explain myself and just feeling angry and jealous because you keep on talking about your damn shixiong! I know you no longer have feelings for me and refuses to be anywhere near me after you found out about my past, I know I’m not good enough for you, but I love you, and I will always do till the day I die

Imagine LXY feeling so regretful for not trying to properly investigate and just simply confronted DFS back then, and feeling so stupid to ever doubt his A Fei’s love for him, and really A Fei, what the hell? Why would I ever stop loving you? I was just feeling guilty, what do you mean you’re not good enough for me? I’m the one who’s not good enough for you! We were young then, but I should’ve known better now, I’m sorry, for everything that I put you through, and I do love you, always, since that first day when you came to challenge me, there’s been no one else but you

Imagine LXY finally brought DFS back with him to Sigu Sect and everyone was all, oh, you boys have finally figured it out? Thank heavens

[mha-shiz]

We'll meet again~

Izuku and Bakugo don't meet until years after the incident.

To the point where they have both been well established in their own areas of expertise.

Bakugo became one of the top heros in the world, while Izuku grew his own power and influence in the underworld. Even being the final cause of Overhaul's fall, takeing his place seamlessly.

When Katsuki and Izuku do finally meet again. It's when Bakugo tries to infiltrate the Meta Liberation army.

He went undercover with Hawks, havwing Tokoyami and Mirio as a backup.

And there, on stage with the rest of the generals, was Izuku Midoriya. Who had an air of calm calculation about him.

When he saw Katsuki in the crowd, all he could do, was smile. Showing off what that "hero" turned in into, he made a speech about how power shall rule, weather or not you have a quirk. That they shall become better than who they were yesterday, and destroy whatever comes in their way of that.

The crowd cheered.

This, wasn't the sweet Izuku Katsuki knew... this... was something... he had created... after breaking the old one..

Katsuki couldn't stand to be jn that audience anymore. So he left, running into a little girl? She had to be around what he calculated Eris age would be by now. It also seemed like her, a much more healthier her at that, witch was good... right?

"You are the one who hurt my big brother, right."

"I don't know what ya mean kid-"

Eri glared at Bakugo before leaveing.

That's when, Izuku came back, with the girl by his side "thank you Eri, you didn't have to" he smiled sweetly at the girl, just like the Deku he knew... then the girl ran off

"Let's have a drink together. Shall we. Bakugo."

Katsuki kind of froze. There was Venom in Izukus words. And he didn't adress him by his nickname, so, things were still most definitely bad... but he still went with Izuku.

Izukus office was small and simple. But it did have some things strewn about it, Izuku and Todoroki, Izuku with some of the other leaders, Izuku and the girl and a guy with arrows on his hair.

While the man himself pulled out two glasses and some fireball whiskey along with some wine. They still knew eachothers preferences after all these years...

Bakugo took his seat across from Izuku and looked into his drink

:its not poisoned, that would be too boring and simple of a death someone like you deserves if that's what you're thinking"

"I- Izuku... im sorry... for everything-"

"Wow- a genuine apology- sorry to say, but you're far, FAR too late for that" Izuku took a sip of his wine in apathy

"I toight it should be out there-"

"And why would i accept it? You have done nothing to try to save me over the years- didn't even look for me when you could. Just relied on the same useless people who failed me in the first place"

Katsuki didn't have any retort to that, so he just drank the fireball, God he wished it was poisoned. But sadly, it wasn't.

"Hoestly, you wouldn't belive what I've had to do to get here. You have it so easy still, after all these years"

"I've missed you... I've missed our friendship..."

"You call the abuse you put me trough FRIENDSHIP" Izuku couldn't help but laugh "I can't imagine what you put your poor husband trough if that was friendship to you"

"I would never-"

"Hurt Ejiro?- right? I managed to learn about that little crush you had on me- so now I'm wondering when you're going to slip, and hurt him too? Or maybe you'll kill him with your presious quirk!" he couldn't help but giggle at that

"I don't have to take this-" Bakgo got up pissed off

"Also-" izuku sipped his wine "If I see you or Hawks here again, neither of you will exist anymore. Got it?♡"

Bakugo just nodded before leaveing, takeing Hawks with him.

Izuku would have to deal with the pissed off Dabi later, but that's fine. Dabis bird stepped out of line with that. So they can't be here anymore. Simple as that.

[fraudulent-cheese]

What do you think is the most unpopular opinion you have about each season?

OOOO. OH THAT'S A HARD ONE BECAUSE I CAN'T SENSE WHAT THE FANDOM'S OPINION ON SHIT IS SINCE I BARELY STEP OUT OF MY CIRCLE. I'll try my best tho!

TDI: The middle is so boring you guys. Seriously there's a bunch of episodes i barely care about this season and most are around the mid point. Some merge episodes also aren't super great either. Oh and as i've said before, Gwent's boring as hell and im not the biggest fan of Duncney. Ozzy's fine tho

TDA: I honestly prefer it's pacing to Island. It could 100% be better, but having less characters and more time between eliminations allows for alot more character building and i like that :)

TDWT: Guys. Guys please it is not as good as you think. It's a huge mixed bag and no one ever talks about it??? At all??? Outside of the usual suspects (Sierra's thing, the Love Triangle™) people don't tend to talk alot about the season's faults and it sucks because THIS is the season you guys think is the best one? Really?

ROTI: Ok this is where me being mostly active on Tumblr and not anywhere else is detrimental because im not sure??? What would be an unpopular opinion? I guess i don't have much investement in Jo and Brick's rivalry? But otherwise most people seem to have similar opinions as me (the girls deserved better, the cast would benefit from more episodes, the cast is super interesting, ect...) I guess an actual controversial opinion is that i like Dakota's mutation on concept because i love monster designs and she looks super cool but i am. not a fan of the apparent drop in her intelligence. Make her speak full sentences and be herself and i'd give her full props.

TDAS: Haven't watched it yet, so i don't have any real opinions? Yet? Mal could've worked if he wasn't treated seriously ig. Also it would've been fun to see all the campers slowly all turn on Chris over the season since it's the final time we've seen these people and they deserve it honestly

TDPI: That the season is good, or at least funny LMAOOOOO liking Pahkitew, especially outside of Tumblr is the unpopular opinion, let alone liking certain things about it like Sugar and Max's characters

RR: haven't watched it yet... But i don't actually have an unpopular opinion this time??? uhh Emma deserved to be more of her own character and Kitty sweep

TD2023 S1: Haven't watched it either??? They should've given more time to Scary Girl

TD2023 S2: Again, this is a case where i belive the general opinion on Tumblr is different to that of the general TD fanbase? Because i've seen my fair share of people who genuinely liked the season where as i... really haven't. Uh Zee should've made it farther than Caleb i guess.

[hollyhomburg]

personally i think someone accessing namjoons home address and phone number doesn’t compare to a fan joking about giving him a hickey,

also this is not like a dig at you, i just genuinely can’t really understand and maybe you could explain- why are hickey jokes so outrageous but smut headcanons and stuff are fine? (again, purely asking because i cant understand n maybe you have an explanation)

i think the separation is that smut and things in the written sphere are like obviously completely fictional- and thats what makes it okay and different from jokes about namjoon's hickey. purely because the former underminds what namjoon the person wants and the first just talks about namjoon the charecter in an authors eye.

like while there are certainly some y/n reader insert fanfics that lean into the fanservice and delusional aspect of it- i don't think the vast majority of the people who write fanfic legitimately think the events in the story happened in physicality. how many fics have you seen where like yoongi's a tentacle monster and jimin's a hapless victim? like no one thinks that shit is real. just because i write a fic where jungkook has bunny ears doesn't mean he's actually a hybrid or that hybrids exist. People aren't going to confuse reality here.

but when we argue about what the boys actually say and if they're really lying to us- that is involving the real namjoon in a different way than fiction is. it's not fictional and it's not done with his wishes in mind. like i don't understand why people are so committed to not beliving him.

to bring this back to fanfiction, like i don't know if namjoon has a big dick or not, the same way i don't know how big joel in the last of us is- but the nature of fiction is that it is always speculative. if namjoon irl said "i have a big dick" and we said "no i think you have a small dick" that would be INFINITELY more problematic. it's real people vs fictional people. the version of namjoon that i write about doesn't exist, the one people make hickey jokes about does and his privacy is being violated to sate the need to know about his private life.

making jokes about namjoon's hickey is not specultive fiction, it's speculative reality, it's questioning namjoon the person not namjoon the character. and you can't not admit that the joking back and forth creates this dynamic between people who are possessive of them and people who aren't. there is a certain sense of one up man ship where people are like "i'm going to prove it to you that he actually is dating" "finally all the crazy fans can go away now that he's come out with a hickey," "namjoon is getting it all you people can go stfu" (all things ive seen on twitter tbh)

i feel like this dynamic is a result of the misogyny that female fans are treated with- like according to the media we're all stereotyped as teenagers who have crushes on people who will never know we exist. and certain fans have different reactions to it. One is to completely reject the idea of army being possessive over them and hunt down the people who do or in stalkers case- hunting down namjoon to expose his private life, either to sell to the media to prove he is in a relationship. or to sell it to the sassengs who want to confirm or deny the existence and nature of his private time.

there is nothing revolutionary about not believing that namjoon's bruise is a bruise- the only thing that tells me about you is that you don't believe namjoon and have his best interest at heart.

it comes down to what are we willing to do to prove what we believe is real, which is why personally- i think we should only accept info about irl bts's private life from them, and ignore any other 'hints' that we may get until they're confirmed. as far as i'm concerned, i belive bts. they don't want to talk about their relationships? then for all of my concerns i don't care about it. i won't wonder, i won't go looking at jungkook's gym to find out if he ever comes with anyone, i won't go to an art museum in the hopes that namjoon might be there. i certainly wouldn't book a train ticket or purchase information. if they want to shout from the roof tops about how much they love a girl they met in a coffee shop? i will gush with them.

speculation about their private lives and information about their private lives should be given to us fans on their terms and in their timeframe. Not because someone stalks them. it comes down to respecting a boundary.

bts have never set the boundary that they didn't want fanfiction made about them- in the case of hyyh and the bts world game- they outright encouraged fictional fan driven content- even the highlight reels are representative of this- beautiful pictures of fiction that fan creators can take and mold.

on the other hand they've certainly created a boundary about their private lives and what they're willing to share with us. they don't want us to speculate about it because it only causes shit like this.

long rant over; TLDR- fanfiction's are fictional for a reason, saying namjoon is lying is not fiction. believe bts and what they say or don't say about their private lives and move on.

does anyone else’s depression hit at night time? I can be fine… all day, until after midnight and then for some reason just.. all of the sad comes out. I don’t know what it’s from, or why, but it’s just tears flowing and that achy feeling in your heart and then the pit in your stomach and the shake and pain in your head from anxiety.

Why is it that woman have to always overcompensate in relationships- let me explain before I get canceled. Females, have you ever noticed the moment a man takes interest in you, or your talking/ flirting, and you go out a few times and you genuinely have a great time and you think you like him then BAM. A red flag, it’s something small but it bothers you… but you just push it away because “well there’s other green flags, and he seems nice” and all of this other stuff.. TO MAKE HIM LIKE YOU. I’ll share this story, it was the first few dates with my ex and it was great, he was nice, and polite and drove safe and all of that.. until he made a sexist joke, a border line woman hating joke.. and I say there and looked at him and I laughed. I CANT BELIVE I LAUGHED. Did I think it was funny? No. Did I agree with it? Absolutely not and I wanted to punch him after it. But it was fine right? It was only one joke. Then it became a few more.. my laughs decreased and I told him I don’t think they are funny- “but it’s just a joke” when it’s not, there’s an underlying misogynistic truth and some CLEAR toxic masculinity. He stopped doing it around me.. until we were with his best friend, and they would constantly still make those jokes.. and you know what I would do? Laugh. Because I wanted him to like me and I wanted to be polite even though he knew how I felt about it. So why do we do that? Why do we have to make men like us all of the time? Is it because we like the attention or feeling of validation? We tie into knots for no reason, and for some reason if there’s ever a red flag small enough we ignore it… and we continue our relationship with that person. Why is it in a relationship our standards start out so high, then begin to lower? But when we keep those standards then it’s “unrealistic” I’m feeling really defeated about that, yes.. my ex had some great qualities- but looking back on it there were so many things I literally ignored because my standards then came a little above bare minimum while also having my own wants and needs- while also THE BARE MINIMUM was so hard to accommodate or meet because that requires putting in the work. Why is it when it comes to relationships in my luck it’s always wanting to work for each other and save the relationship it’s always my partner just can’t do because “it’s not them, or who they are”. If it’s something small, even if you don’t understand why and can create a happier relationship and I’m bringing that energy to that conversation as well why not?- anyways, that turned into a ramble, but basically why is it that our standards lower and we hold ourselves fs less accountable while in a relationship then as soon as we get out it’s so easy to get over someone. As soon as you think of one red flag thing it just gives the ick and validates your self worth.

My healing process has been weirdly okay. Like I’m okay, I’m not sad, angry or disappointed. I don’t want him in my life. I’m content with that. I’m finding new ways to heal and keep myself busy while also taking care of myself. The thought of him or being with him gives me so much anxiety that it can send me into like a pre panic attack state. So now it’s how to get rid of the thoughts of him. I’ve done a lot of work on that but he will still pop in my head a few times a day. I don’t know why I’m as okay as I am. I loved him, I thought I was gonna marry him, but for some reason it’s like my walls go back up and I’m going to have some more relationship tramua and trust issues for the next partner. Which I’m not looking forward to having that conversation. I think part of me is sad that I’m okay. I don’t think I ever give myself to grieve. If I do, I know I will fall down a hole, and not take care of myself, if I don’t let me grieve then I don’t have to deal with it. If I give myself fake confidence and “badass bitch” energy I don’t have to worry about it. I feel like it can be such a toxic thing but it’s the only tool I have.

Personally to me discord is made sliiightly more likable because of his backstory included in the comics. Which long story short if i remember right discord had this "friend" cosmo who he created chaos with but cosmo took it too far and wanted to actually harm ponies which discord refused to do and cosmo turned on discord because of it. Discord basically then had her banished to the stars and all memory of her wiped from equestria because she was too dangerous. He took the fall for all her crimes and was then turned into stone by celestia and luna because it was better than having cosmo harm ponies. In the comics she makes a return and discord is genuinely terrified of her like he tries to run and hide and take fluttershy with him because hes scared of what cosmo would do to her. Though i think the cartoon contradicts this a bit but im choosing to belive thats what happened the comics tend to give a lot more information than the series does when it comes to this kind of thing

See I feel like I would like discord a lot more if they showed this in the show a little bit. I feel like he has his moments where I find him fine/even a good friend at times but so often in the show he just goes too far and the ponies just have to put up with it. Like with the episode I just watched where starlight was the principal he was acting out because he wasn’t invited to the school which like 1. WTF fluttershy….. why didn’t you invite him. And 2. Only starlight apologized to him he didn’t apologize for his behavior like at all….. I just wish they showed more of him trying and the ponies helping him learn but it feels like he’s just there to cause problems 😭 I saw someone say the writers really fumbled by not having pinkie and him have more interactions because she’s probably the best in becoming friends with him as opposed to fluttershy which I would have to agree with

HARUMI HAURMI AHHHHH

The... the cryslized thing... the Crystal King looks like... looks like... the overlord.

OH MY GOD IT IS THE OVERLORD

Harumi has such a pretty voice.

"It's hard to tell with you sometimes!" Autsim at its finest /j

Half joking.

Lloyd truly loving Harumi is actually... ah.

RUMI AWW

No no I don't ship. I don't think I Do. But it's kinda....

Kinda on the cops and harumi's side. Still love the ninja.

"Old timer" is litterlly the equivalent of Jesus.

JAY PLEASE-

Jay knowing about like vehicles and stuff bc he grew up.in a junk yard building trains

And he's steal my least favorite ninja

I believe harumi and llyod are both like 16-18. Which is very clear. It's very clear they're young jn the way they talk and it's clear Harumi is being influenced by the Overlord.

""Part oni" like 1/4 oni Jesus.

First ninja master is half fdragon/oni.

Garmadon and wu would be.... 1/3 dragon, 1/3 human, 1/3 oni. Their mother is human right? Where did she come from? They have a mother don't they?

Llyod would be 1/4 dragon, 2/4 human, 1/4 oni.

He's part oni, alright. A small part.

oHHH WHATS IT LIKE TO KIN HARUMI AND LLYOD AT THE SAME TIME

GIRL BOSS OMG

Cole's voice is so strange to me. I miss Kirby morrow. It was quite nice while he was around. Evil llyod my beloved

I can't tell if that's his genuine oni powers or the Crystal King.

Ou right I just remembered bootleg garmadon that's technically still garamdon called Harumj "duaghter" and now I feel icky again.

I think the only one who could truly beat Wu I'd Aspheera. Bc they're both so old and talented. They have the connection.

Tw mentions of sa/abuse/trauma

I was talking with Uncle Zeus tonight...5am

I asked if he wanted me to write something or go to bed, he wants me to write before bed.

Ooh boy, yknow im partially scared about being open here since ive gone so long being sorta super abused for opening my mouth about this, but i lost a lot to get here yknow.

Im not some dumbass pretending or role-playing, i lost family, friends, a girl i thought i loved more than anything, my religon crumbled before my eyes, ive been abused, assulted, forced into some nasty shit. All because i opened my mouth about this.

You dont belive me? Check divination, ask Zeus yourself, i dont care anymore because what else can be done to me. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And i know why he wants me to speak, i was so afraid so anxious to join pagan group or talk on here so scared to be flamed or outcast.

What can you do to me that the ones i loved most havent already done. Nothing. Whats some online dramma if it means i can finally open my mouth and express the things ive seen and felt.

It's been 6 years now since Apollo appeared to me, when i was a devout christian in training to be a prophet of "god"

Do you know how long i ran frome this??? Do you have any idea how long i fought them how many other pantheons i ran to and was booted out of, how many times Loki downright pushed me back to the greek pantheon, essentially saying "yeah this isnt my kid"

So much doubt and fear so much pain.

For the people who fake it, why? Why. This is hell this hurts this aches this has brought me unimaginable pain. I wanted so bad to just be normal to just be literally a normal ass dude.

I have lived in constant torture for so long. Day and night nothing but violation and suffering. I am a shell of what i was. And i have to heal so, so much, and i will never be the same. And even with all of that, im happier now...than i ever was christian.

I actually feel loved by them, supported, cared for. I feel bad i fought them for so long about this, i feel guilty that for so many years i shut them off saying it was hubris while they constantly patiently guided me over and over and over proving again and again that it was true and i couldnt run forever.

Its ok

Im scared, but thats ok

I'll be ok. People are entitled to their belifes and i know mine is controversial i know i might not be taken as seriously even though i dedicated so much time so so much time meditating, learning divination, channleing, banishments, hellenism as a whole as well as greek mythos and even teaching, reiki healing, greek cultural studies and history i put forth so much time and effort and study because i doubt I'm who they say i am and i fear so much that i am lying that one day Zeus will smite me for my audacity.

But, they havent.

Instead I'm embraced, met with love, care, encouragement, they get exasperated when i try to fall back to being a follower, they chastize me for it, i cant worship i cant do shit that followers can i am outcast from pagan groups because im looked at as a fraud or a scammer or an idiot when ive dedicated so much time to studying and learning just desprately trying to understand why im like this.

And yknow what

Thats fine

Everyone has their path, everyone has a right to belive, and I've met other demigods, ive seen them and ive done divination and theyr legit.

And anyways this is my blog i should be able to say whatever i want

If i can say stupid bullshit 24/7 why cant i actually express what i genuinely belive and hold very close to myself.

I pledged myself, mind, body, and soul to Lord Zeus, King of the gods.

If he sees fault in my actions he has and will punish me. I am more and more confident every day in who exactly i am.

And ive been through too much bullshit to stay silent any longer.

Thats my ted talk

[leffee]

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the quiet suburban street where Vinnie and Russell lived. Vinnie, his hair tousled and his grin mischievous, leaned against his beat-up old sedan, a relic from his high school days that still somehow managed to roar to life whenever he turned the key.

"Hey, Russell, buddy," Vinnie called out as Russell approached, "you ready for a ride?"

Russell eyed the car warily, a bead of sweat forming on his brow. He knew all too well about Vinnie's daredevil driving antics. "Uh, where are we going?" he asked cautiously.

Vinnie's grin widened as he revved the engine, the sound echoing through the quiet street. "To the party, of course! But I'm driving. You cool with that?"

Russell hesitated, his mind flashing with images of Vinnie's reckless maneuvers and near misses. "I don't know, Vinnie. Your driving style... it's a bit... um, extra."

Vinnie waved off Russell's concern with a dismissive flick of his wrist. "Come on, Russ, live a little! Trust me, it'll be a blast."

Reluctantly, Russell slid into the passenger seat, buckling up tightly as Vinnie took the wheel. As they pulled out onto the road, Vinnie's whoops of excitement filled the air, but Russell couldn't shake the feeling of impending doom.

With each daring maneuver, Russell's knuckles turned white from gripping the door handle so tightly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead with a mixture of fear and anticipation. As they sped towards their destination, Russell couldn't help but wonder if they'd make it there in one piece.

Miraculously, they arrived at the party in one piece, though Russell stumbled out of the car, his legs feeling like jelly from the adrenaline rush. Penny Long, a friend from their circle, approached with a concerned expression.

"Russell, are you okay?" Penny asked, her brow furrowed in worry. "You look as white as a ghost."

Russell managed a weak smile, still reeling from the wild ride. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just... not used to Vinnie's driving, that's all."

Vinnie, unfazed by Russell's pale complexion, swaggered over with a grin. "What can I say? I like to keep things interesting."

As the party roared on around them, Russell couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. Despite the heart-stopping journey, he knew one thing for sure – with Vinnie by his side, life would always be an adventure…

I know that "Penny Long" is a typo, but it's still really funny xD I mean, she is tall, so I suppose vertically long. Yes, makes total sense

And I know they arrived at a real party, but I can't stop thinking that after saying that they're "going to a party" Vinnie actually drives them to a supermarket or something, so Russell is just "???" and Vinnie explains that he never said what kinda party he meant, and this time he meant a snack party or whatever and when Russell asks "whyyy?" Vinnie simply replies with "hungy". Yup, again, makes total sense

"Come on, Russ, live a little!" He said, knowing that lethal car accidents are a thing, oop. That's why I keep my Vinnie and Pepper as decent drivers, cause I know that it fits their character and all, but come on, driving recklessly can genuinely kill a person, kill them, so they're not gonna do it. Let me tell you if I drove in a car with someone like that I would fuccing slap them across the face once we would have stopped 😀👍

Anyway, going with this scenario, I can't help but imagine that once they get out of the car, Russell is just so pale, trembling and simply faints once he's out. Vinnie just kicks him lightly with his foot like "Rusty? U ok? Get up, man, it wasn't that bad."

"he knew one thing for sure – with Vinnie by his side, life would always be an adventure…" Nah mate, you're just in love with him! Belive me, I am too, so I know what it looks and feels like :^)
