Cat Dad Abbot

A/n: Because I have a cat and I love Abbot Masterlist

Abbot x Reader

“Y/n, it’s staring at me again.”

“Y/n, it’s touching me.”

“Y/n, there’s cat fur on my scrubs again!”

Jack Abbot is not a cat person, and he barely tolerates his girlfriend’s cat. The thing is always tripping him up, getting fur all over his things, and worst of all, he can’t tell if the thing likes him, despises him, or both.

Sure, the thing has fur and big round eyes, so he’s sure it falls in the classification of ‘cute’, but pets aren’t his thing. He doesn’t understand why people keep cats around. A dog? Sure, they usually like to go for walks, run around, be outside. But cats? They shit in a box for Christ’s sake.

To make matters worse, he’s almost positive the cat only sleeps when Y/n is sleeping at night. Meaning the thing decides to terrorize him when he’s trying to sleep after a night shift. She’s constantly pawing at his face while dropping a toy near his hand.

On the weekends, when he and Y/n can sleep on a relatively similar schedule, he gets to sleep deeper, the cat is less likely to be tearing down the walls when his partner is sleeping next to him. But tonight? The cat’s really testing his patience.

“Y/n, get it off.” He huffs. He’s lying on his back waiting for her to come to bed. Her cat, Clara, has decided he’s the perfect victim for her pursuits. She’s immediately jumping onto his chest, tail swishing, as she proceeds to curl up on him. Even him sneezing from the few loose strands of cat fur in his nose can’t disturb her.

“She likes you!” He hears his girlfriend coo from their connected bathroom. He turns his head and shoots a glare her way. The movement causing the cat to stir, turn towards him, and start using his stubble as her own personal brush.

Clara is headbutting his chin aggressively as she scratches her face, chin, and cheeks against his rough stubble. He again hears his girlfriend continue cooing and the unmistakable sound of her taking pictures.

Every time he tries to remove the cat from his chest and face, she slinks right back onto him to continue her onslaught against his beard. Moving quickly, he pushes the cat off his chest and sits up.

“That’s not going to stop her!” His girlfriend laughs as her cat quickly stands on its hind legs to bat at his face. He glares down at the cat as it starts furiously purring. He looks to his girlfriend for help.

“Stop being so grumpy! She clearly likes you! With my past boyfriends she’d just sit in the corner and glare at them. She once even peed in one of their shoes.” His girlfriend is applying moisturizer as he grumbles with the cat touching him.

“Change the subject.” He huffs, over protectiveness flaring in his chest at the mention of her previous (and unqualified) flings.

“Hey, just saying. None of them ever got the approval of her nor were they able to make me cum as quick as you are.” He huffs out a laugh, pushing the cat away from his face again. Clara sits down and begins to groom herself aggressively.

“Your breath stinks.” He mumbles to the cat, causing her to look up at him with her leg still in the air.

“And you’re a grumpy old man who is scared of sharing his girlfriend with a damn cat.” Y/n says with a laugh as she sits down on her side of the bed, the cat immediately walking over to her for attention.

He sighs at the sight, the two enjoying each other’s company, as he starts pulling his prosthetic off, a spare sneaker still attached to it. He feels relief as he pulls it off, setting it against the nightstand. The cat immediately coming over to investigate.

He looks down at the feline tiredly, the cat’s tail swishing as she sits next to him as he pulls his legs up and over onto the bed, swinging the covers over him. He holds a hand out and the cat head butts him with such force, she almost knocks herself over. He scratches the space between her ears and the cat erupts into vibrations. His girlfriend chuckles softly, her most recent romance novel pick already open and in her hands.

Abbot lays back and lets the cat fall into his side, the vibrations reverberating into his own chest. The slight static of the police scanner faint in the background grounding him as he settles in, enjoying the quiet night.

He turns his head slightly, hands behind his head, as he watches his partner read, her lip between her teeth.

“Let me know when you need me to act out a scene.” He smiles as she laughs and looks over to him, their hands intertwining.

“I’ll let you know.” She hums, tracing the back of his hand with her thumb.

Clara jumps down to the hardwood floor next to Abbot, her tiny six-pound body making a large ‘thud’ as she lands. Abbot groans, knowing what’s coming next.

They both hear the familiar scratching as Clara grabs his prosthetic by the laces of the sneaker and drags it under the bed. He can hear her kicking it with her back legs, the sound of titanium meeting cat claws evident from under the bed.

Y/n groans. “You do this every time Jack, you put it there on purpose knowing she’ll do this.” She’s up and trying to shove herself under the bed, fingers a mere inch from the cat.

He laughs slightly, hearing his girlfriend swear at her cat as she tries to wrestle the prosthetic from her.

“At least we can agree on one thing,” he says, tilting his head up to watch his girlfriend hold the prosthetic in triumph, “she hates that damn thing as much as I do.” He laughs when his girlfriend groans, placing the prosthetic on top of his nightstand as he continues to cackle.

“When your prosthetist calls, asking why there are so many scratches on that thing, I’m telling him you bait the cat nightly to let her destroy it.” She huffs, pushing his hands away in mock anger as she crawls back into bed.

“At least it has battle scars to match me.” He laughs, his girlfriend hitting him in the chest lightly as he pulls her into him, settling in for the night.

---- I'm sick and I'm writing self indulgent fics for my pleasure, hope y'all like it!

Astro Observation 777🎪

Trigger Warning: death & SA mentions 🎯

🎳Capricorns tend to be obsessed with themselves especially if the sun sits in the first house. Could love looking at themselves. Could also watch themselves eat or take pictures after crying.

🎳Scorpio in 11th don’t have friends even if you are a social butterfly these individuals don’t consider many as friends. Have trust issues and have been betrayed by many or end up falling out with friends. These people like more intimate friend groups with a small number of people. Very possessive over their friends & of their friends don’t listen to them it could make them mad. Since scorpios desire emotional connections they find it hard to relate to just anybody. And they get jealous with their friends have friends lol. They want to be someone’s favorite person.

🎳Mercury in 5th at best are slick & always seem like they are up to something. May have a contact for any and everything. They have great intellect even if it appears they don’t. The way they communicate is childlike and can take a joke. At worst they could promise the moon and stars and they could lack the resources to keep up with the promise.

🎳It’s something about your Moon falling into your partners 5th that makes them want to have a baby with you.

🎳 People who sun fall into your 9th house are the ones who share the same beliefs as you. These are the people you can talk about your spiritual journey with (depending on what you believe in or lack of belief) These people can be your teachers in a way too.

🎳Virgo in 9th are very detail oriented. They may want To learn new languages and when curious they tend to research topics until they have a better understanding. May think outside the box when it comes to religion and belief systems. Are very attracted to foreign places and have a strong desire to travel. These people are really smart and could excel in a career they seem worthy. Takes learning new hobbies very serious and could be multifaceted.

🎳Suns in 11 degrees may have many friends. In water placements it could indicate over extending yourself and looking out for others than you do yourself.

🎳Water placements in moon are very in tune with themselves & their bodies could always tell them what they need to know. Their bodies could sense when theirs something wrong and also it could give you ability to feel when someone around you is going through as well as people energy they always know when they’re being betrayed.

🎳Leos boast about their children to others, I’ve noticed they may not necessarily tell their children how proud they are but will let it be known to others (ofc it could depend on other placements)

🎳A person with a stellium touching your 5th could be your best friend (this is friendship obs) but also could be your bestie with romantic relationships. These people are your ace boon coon y’all love to spend time together and have fun but know when to give healthy space. Could admire each other and could go on adventure together.

🎳Sun at 20 degrees are of transformation ; you may go through a plethora of obstacles in order shed old habits and ways of living. You may express a pivotal period where someone’s death could affect your entire trajectory of life. You may have been sexual from a young age could be because of (SA) but the older you get the less you care for it. Many people share things with you they normally don’t tell others they feel at ease being in your presence.

🎳Sun at 2 degrees would be for people who need to learn to speak up for themselves & they love to tend to their needs. Money is a key factor in these people lives and they spend it on pleasures. May have grew up in poverty but these individuals are really smart and they could go to college & have lucrative careers when older. These people are very soft spoken.

🎳Moon in air sign placements are complicated with these placements (Aquarius, Gemini & Libra) these people are detached or appear as such paired with their more logical way of thinking could cause friction when it comes to relationships of any kind. Instead of dealing with their emotions they over think and over analyze it and leave it as that. There flighty nature can be a turn off to most which is why other air sign placements tend to be good for them since they understand each others lack of emotional depth.

- Aquarius moons appear aloof but crave emotional intimacy they just haven’t figured it out yet and it could chase people away but they could deal with the madness in their head a little better than their counterparts.

- Libra moons are pushovers and are always ready to hear both sides before passing judgement & allow others to walk over them because they want to be liked and seen as easy to deal with

- Gemini moons are detached and tend to ignore that part of themselves & are constantly changing their hobbies and themselves and need a partner who can keep up with their erratic nature.

These moons sometimes can research or ask for other opinions on what they should do instead of going within and figuring it out. They have an obtuse way of thinking.

Birth Chart Breakdown: Planets in The Eleventh House

☉ Sun in the Eleventh House You dream of becoming someone who inspires. Someone whose path doesn’t just lead forward, but lights the way for others, too. You want your life to mean something beyond survival. You long to be recognized not just for what you achieve, but for the courage it takes to hold onto your vision when no one else sees it yet. Somewhere in you, there’s still a child who believed anything was possible, and you're building a future to prove them right.

☽ Moon in the Eleventh House You carry your dreams like fragile paper boats, hoping someone will notice them drifting across the water and help guide them home. You long for emotional connection that doesn’t ask you to shrink. You want to be part of something that feels like a soul-tribe, where you don’t have to explain your feelings to be understood. The future you imagine isn’t built on fame or followers, it’s built on tenderness, and the safety of being loved without translation.

☿ Mercury in the Eleventh House Your dreams live in language. Ideas, visions, scattered thoughts that piece themselves into constellations when you speak them out loud. You long to find the ones who will hear your wildest theories and say, “Tell me more.” You want your voice to ripple. You want your words to mean something. The future you dream of isn’t quiet, it’s conversational, alive with minds meeting in midair.

♀ Venus in the Eleventh House You’re building a dream out of beauty. A life that feels like it was made with intention and soul. You long to share your ideals, not just to be admired, but to be mirrored. You crave connection that feels like co-creation, like building something meaningful together. You don’t want attention. You want resonance. Aesthetic is part of it, but alignment is what you’re really after.

♂ Mars in the Eleventh House Your dreams don’t sit still. They sprint. They kick. They demand. You want a future that moves, a life that’s driven by purpose, by action, by the fire in your chest. You’re not content just dreaming, you want to do. You need allies, not followers. People who are just as restless, just as rebellious, just as committed to changing something. For you, dreaming is a kind of battle and you’re ready to fight for what you believe in.

♃ Jupiter in the Eleventh House You dream in wide, borderless shapes. You believe there’s enough room in the world for everyone to rise and you want to be a part of lifting others. You crave a future that’s joyful, generous, expansive. A future that reflects your hope, not your fear. People feel better around you, even when you don’t try. And deep down, you hope your presence alone can be a light someone else was waiting for.

♄ Saturn in the Eleventh House You don’t dream loudly, but you dream seriously. Carefully. You carry hopes that have been tested by disappointment, but never extinguished. You fear not belonging, not because you need approval, but because you want to contribute something real. You long to find your place in the world, a place earned, not given. And even if your dreams take time, you’re willing to build them brick by brick until they stand taller than your doubts.

♅ Uranus in the Eleventh House You dream of a life that doesn’t exist yet, so you start creating it. You don’t want to belong to a system that asks you to be less. You’d rather walk alone than be part of something that silences you. But still, you hope. Hope for a future where freedom and belonging can coexist. Where you don’t have to choose between being accepted and being real. You’re not here to follow trends, you’re here to shape tomorrows.

♆ Neptune in the Eleventh House You dream of a world that feels softer. Deeper. More connected. You carry visions of soul-level belonging, people who just know you, without explanation. You feel the future like a scent on the wind: sweet, elusive, possible. You’re not naive, you’re intuitive. And even when the world feels heavy, you keep dreaming. Because the dream, for you, is the compass.

♇ Pluto in the Eleventh House You want to leave a mark, not for ego, but for impact. You dream of building something that transforms not just you, but the world around you. You crave influence that matters. Change that sticks. But you also fear what it might cost. The isolation. The responsibility. Still, you keep going. Because you weren’t born to blend in. You were born to reshape what people thought was possible.

not for nothing, i've gathered a lot from writing fanfic, some very unhinged and heartbreaking. sometimes the connections made are intentional and conscious, and the work i know i'm doing is something i go in pursuing, in the act. other times, i get in my mind to write something on a whim and spiral into it only to suddenly make connections later and laugh and cry my way through processing something i hadn't even realized i needed to.

writing is an art, even if it's not your style of art that you like or understand, it doesn't take away the value. morals aren't meant to be applied to art either... so... there is that. art also isn't always about positive emotions but exploring the entirety of human existence, in all its shades. there are novels out there that do the same thing, many of which are classics.

if we could just let creativity be the safe space to simply feel, trauma dump, and "be" and vibe tf out in like it was meant to be again without imposing anything onto it, that'd beee greeaat.

especially in this capitalistic hellscape where we have so little that is still sacred and wholly human--flaws and all--that isn't for profit or productivity but just for us.

GODS! just let people live. let people have their freedom to be creative with their minds, and hearts, and souls on their journey. you dont need to like what an artist is doing because you can just not look or consume their art. that simple. that's the least amount of respect the arts and those who enjoy it for leisure still can be given.

i applaud any of you who create to any degree, in any form. do NOT let anyone force you into fear of not sharing it if you so choose.

This post is so funny like comment subscribe if you picture your favs bloodied and coughing on the floor and flinching

future spouse's pac: how they will confess their love for you

uno - dos

tres - kwatro

paid reading is available here.

masterlist

don't expect much, this is a very short and simple read. you can just ignore and continue to scroll if you don't find it interesting.

©janecafe 2025

˚⊱🍀⊰˚

₊˚ʚ 𝐔𝐍𝐎 🪷 ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

their confession is a pressure and realization about the connection you'd have with them. it's like a realization about how significant your presence is in their life. the confession will leave a satisfied feeling about you. the day of the confession, they may be thinking about kneeling on their knees to you with their hearty and sincere poetry love. despite, the fact they doubt because they don't have an actual idea about your response. they still be waiting for that uncertain reply.

it's also jungling their thoughts about how they love you. this can be their first sentence before confessing; "i want to ask you before i assume anything". it's like a magical word. i was visualizing the place where they confess, it's a place where bougainvillea flowers is present and with an enchanted pavilion. this period is a magical and epoch times for both you. this is an enticing energy togetherness with pure emotions of two magnificent souls.

₊˚ʚ 𝐃𝐎𝐒 🪷 ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

it brings them emotions; in denial and repression. they don't want to admit it because there's a conflict between you and them. this is a feeling of hatred that turns into something special, i don't think you're gonna like each other at first that was the sight of the cards are giving me.

the day they confess? it will be the first time you two will share a kiss. they're the one who's gonna kiss, forgive them it was because of their madcap action. it was because all of their feelings for you were bottled up and they can't hide it anymore, they felt your lips are raw and kissable; it taste sweet and has another description that "they're seeing stars". it's corny but a mystical. but to retract this idea, is that you two used to love someone else.

i don't have any idea how this deep rooted hate came from but i think it's a normal that sometimes we used to hate someone without us even knowing where that come from. this is a real life reflection. where the two used to loved different people before having connection with each other. it's also a confirmation you two are capable to love again. it's like; we love, we failed and we learn and love again.

₊˚ʚ 𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐒 🪷 ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

this person will let their feelings confess in a romantic and traditional way to express what they truly feel towards you. writing love letters and poems might be one of their ideal confessions, it can also be through a song that how they're gonna express their affection to you. they may want to be modest but also be respectful with your feelings somehow they considered about what you feel, they have in their where it's okay for them to get rejected or even turn down their confession. they want to ensure that their intentions is pure and empathetic.

although, they are somehow timid about their feelings toward you. you will able to witness their love for you with their gifts giving like chocolate or flowers and act of service actions.

in my imagination, it like a impression of giving a beautiful gift with a hidden hand letter there that is holding their own words and feelings to express on a simple, clean and white colored paper leaving their outstanding perfume.

₊˚ʚ 𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐎 🪷 ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

confessing is one of this person's fear. imagining it, leaves them in a total fear of feeling. i think this confession will be planned so carefully, they may ask you for a date first. but their confession will end up being funny and chaotic this is because of their nervous they felt, they can't handle your presence and themselves. but after their calm themselves, i think you were leave on shock about their confession. it's a very heartfelt with so much adoration in it. this is a bond for you and them to have foster a better relationship.

that their love is so strong. so mature and not all that naive love is like a shallow attraction. this is a real love. and the thing that every song becomes like you and it's haunted them real bad. that you are the person they prayed for.

yeah, each word is true and honest the time they'll confess their love for you.

˚⊱🍀⊰˚

"It's Just Company Content" - A Masterclass in Missing the Entire Point of BTS (and Jikook for obvious reasons)

You ever see someone say "Jikook is just fanservice" or "that's just company content" and feel like your last three brain cells just collectively jumped ship? Same.

Let's break this down. Grab a snack. I'm about to get emotional, petty, and philosophical all in one go.

1. "Company Content" Is literally how we know them. Let that sink in.

So let me get this straight: You're dismissing Jikook moments because it was.. filmed? Uploaded? Edited and shared with us?

BABE. That's how we know all of BTS. You didn't personally sit across from Namjoon while he read Nietzsche. You didn't hold Yoongi's mic during his underground rap era. You didn't see Jungkook's first dance lesson. Everything we know, their personalities, quirks, chaos, brilliance, kindness, and vulnerabilities, came to us through content.

Whether it's Run BTS, Bon Voyage, random lives, AYS, Run Jin, Suchwita, IG posts, etc. We built our connection with them through what they shared, be it company-directed or personal.

2. Imagine being BTS, sharing your soul, only to be told "Fake!"

Jungkook: [writes songs about missing someone, cries mid-performance, posts literal dream confessions]

Jimin : [Shows up unannounced to support him, writes letters, bakes bread with his hands that are legally considered lethal weapons]

Some armchair analyst on Twitter: "That's fake. It was in a Bangtan Bomb"

Okay, sure Brenda.

Imagine the audacity of someone giving you pieces of themselves in the form of music, dance, laughter, and years of consistent bonds, only to be told it doesn't count because you saw it through official means.

What were you expecting? Hidden camera footage from their dreams? Should Jungkook have sent a carrier pigeon instead?

3. "We don't know them personally" - EXCEPT when it's convenient for you?

The irony of people screaming "You don't know them personally!" while also confidently stating "Jikook isn't real. They're just close friends, stop deluding yourselves."

So wait.. You do know them personally? Did they text you that?

Because unless Park Jimin called you crying at 2 AM saying "Hey, FYI, I'm not emotionally attached to Jungkook" maybe, just maybe, don't dismiss what has been shown to us for over a decade.

You can't pick and choose when they're real people with real emotions and when they're holograms programmed by BigHit.

4. "It's Only Jikook that's fake apparently?"

Curious, isn't it? Other duos can have their moments. Other friendships are "sweet", "loyal", "soulmate-level". But when it's Jikook, suddenly there's an NDA and a green screen involved?

They hold eye contact like a telenovela? "That's editing."

They giggle like they just kissed behind stage? "Just bros"

They disappear together and show up glowing? "Maybe they just exfoliated."

Why is Jikook the only bond people feel the need to aggressively sanitize?

If the only argument you have against them is "It's filmed content" you might want to double-check your bias list.. Or your subconscious.

5. Some of y'all sound like you want to get BTS content illegally and THEN you'll believe it?

The real kicker: the same people saying "company content is fake" are also the ones digging through sketchy private airport videos or whispering about sketchy "sightings" like they're in a true crime doc.

So you're saying the only way to validate Jikook's relationship is to see it off-screen.. by stalking them? What??

And i'm not even talking about random genuine sightings when Army happen to come across them, but full on people getting their private schedules, camping outside their places or the places they usually like to go to, etc..

Let's be clear:

Company content = BTS choosing to share with us.

Organic Army sightings = accidental, often sweet, and rooted in respect.

Stalker footage = creepy, unethical, and not content.

So if you're ignoring what they willingly give and romanticizing what they don't, maybe you're not a skeptic. Maybe you're just.. disrespectful.

Because again, why is it that the realness of Jikook, or any BTS bond, only matters to you when it's behind a grainy camera lens, not when it's in HD, with subtitles, and wrapped in genuine affection?

6. Jikook has shown up consistently. For Years. In Every Format.

Let's roll the tape.

Run BTS? Jikook are physically glued to each other.

Bon Voyage? They sleep next to each other like it's a law of physics.

Interviews? "Who are you closest to?" "Jimin". "Jungkook"

Lives? "I miss Jimin" "Jungkook is watching"

Dreams?? Jungkook : "I dreamed about Jimin again"

They're not hiding. They've never hidden. You just don't want to see it unless it fits your idea of "real".

But real doesn't have to be off-camera. Real can be live. Real can be edited. Real can be content.

I'm taking this opportunity to share @slaaverin 's amazing edit:

youtube

7. Company Content is a Window. Don't spit on the glass.

Yes, we don't know BTS personally. But the only way we know them at all is because they decided to show us parts of themselves.

So when you say "It's just content", what you're really saying is : "Everything they've shared doesn't matter."

And that's just.. tragic.

They could've kept it all to themselves. But they didn't.

They let us in, in their own way, through what they chose to share, and honestly? That's more real than anything you could steal from a hidden camera or baseless rumor mill.

In Conclusion: Just say you don't like Jikook and Go

Because if your only counter-argument is "it's company content" then:

You're not debunking anything.

You're not smarter than the rest of us.

You're just uncomfortable with the possibility that Jikook is actually unapologetically real.

And you know what?

That's okay. Just admit it and move. Don't drag the entire concept of content, trust, or the emotional contract between BTS and ARMY down with you.

So yeah, dismissing Jikook as "just fanservice" is lazy, weak, and honestly disrespectful to BTS, the fans, and the literal art of communication.

And if content is all we have, then content is what we honor. That's the deal. That's the bond. That's BTS.

yunho's fromm messages this morning.......... (and some extended thoughts on this man and his very obvious dom vibes, we've got a brand here at honeyhotteoks and i need to talk about it again before i die)

the messages in question:

🐶: yes, yes, you're such a greedy one (a little selfish one) 🐶: be mine, you're mine. 🐶: yes, yes, i'm yours.

transl credit to @/jyhcomfort on twt, i know there's a few alternate translations floating around that say "i'm greedy" or "i'm a greedy one" / one of my friends said via context it makes more sense to be "i'm greedy" but for delulu purposes..... either way..... my feelings are the same under the cut

cw: nsfw discussions about dom/sub dynamics and various connected kinks. as always, i am not being so delulu about this that i actually think i know him. this is all fun and speculation and at this point he's just my muse for the romance novel version of him. okay.....

i tweeted the below the other day (video link here) but like seriously he just keeps proving me right and i have thoughts i gotta get off my chest before i combust.

so i've just been thinking about this whole thing since someone on twitter made a little joke about him being a bitchless kpop idol, which like... i know people got upset, but i'm sure that was just a joke, and that's not really what this is about i've been seriously cooking on the duality of this man for the past few days and have things to say.

first of all...... i've talked about this a million times, but when i say this man is a dom what i mean is that he has the potential for all this stuff, i have no idea what he's actually doing in his private life. he could literally be waiting for marriage for all i know, but i do think you can tell in someone's personality who would kind of be good at something 'naturally' if they got into it / went that direction.

something yunho's been doing a lot recently is showing more of himself physically / showing more skin / being a little more suggestive overtly in his content which is something pretty new for him. he's always been hot and has been sexy on stage, but as far as his personal content, this is pretty new for him. this to me is classic like.... he's gained confidence in the past few years, gotten into his mid twenties where you start to get a little more self assured with your own body or expressions of sexuality, etc. BUT the way that he's sharing this content i think is interesting and indicates to me that he knows what kind of reaction this is going to get from his fans, and he enjoys it.

he's been burying sexier pictures within his ig albums as not the first picture, with the first one being a little cute or just regular idol style pics. prime examples below --

in both of these cases, these are the "sexy shot" but he puts them in the middle of the albums. then when fans freak out or ask him about it on live/fromm his responses are usually something along the lines of "ohhh it wasn't too much was it? ah, no ofc i'll keep it just to that" etc. it would not surprise me in the least if he enjoyed the thought that we're all losing our shit when we swipe to these pics / our reactions online after not only give him a bunch of compliments but shows how riled up we are. that is CLASSIC dom behavior.

in a sexual context, this might look something like..... a dom casually touching or implying sex to their submissive over the course of a day but not really acknowledging it / playing off their submissive's reactions as cute/funny or in a meaner context, ignoring it all together. at the end of all that teasing though is the dom in control and verbally messing with their sub while finally, finally delivering the pleasure they were hinting at. this is something i am so positive yunho would excel at with the right partner.

that combined with the way he talks to hotteoks in fromm really gives the impression that he knows they enjoy being teased, and i truly don't think he would act like that if he didn't like it. he's been in the idol game long enough, if he wanted to set different boundaries or speak to his fans differently, he absolutely could. meanwhile he's out here playing straight into the delulu trends with birthday lockets and wedding flowers and boyfriend-y pics all the time on ig. not to mention the zayn song.... like he knows what he's doing.

he often teases hotteoks about being so flustered over him, plays into how 'jealous' he can be, and overall just leans in hard to d/s dynamics in a way that tells me it's quite natural for him. even just how often he says things like 'you're mine' / 'i'm yours' / 'you know you're mine right?' / 'yes you belong to me' etc. in his fromms just reads completely as a dominant establishing and reinforcing those ownership dynamics.

when it comes to other parts of his personality, i've talked about that at length in other posts (eye contact, natural leadership, body language, active listening, etc.) but i've really noticed a shift in him recently and can't get it off my mind.

on top of that, there have been a few moments on stage or with other members lately that really ring dominance. i'm very specifically thinking of the way he interacts with mingi and wooyoung, which i've written about before, but...... he's consistently holding eye contact with them lately, teasing them in ways that are platonic yes, but also just part of that natural part of him that wants to mess with someone who will break. like.... did yunho have to hold wooyoung's jaw while they were kneeling during halazia? probably not, but he did it. and the smile afterwards when wooyoung got a little flustered was clear satisfaction with the reaction he got.

generally i think there's an impression that some people have that because yunho's so "nice" or so goofy/dorky/sweet/thoughtful/bashful etc., that means he doesn't have as much rizz or like wouldn't be into dynamics like this or harder kinks. i have to say..... that to me always reads like inexperience, with men potentially, maybe sex, and/or these dynamics in particular. in my experience, it's often the sweet guys who can switch it up in bed, and i would even say they often make better/safer doms because they are caring/considerate/attentive to their partner's comfort and pleasure, not just their own or if they're being perceived as sexy. it's not a hard rule of course, everyone's different, but i'm just saying, yunho being a nice guy doesn't mean he couldn't or wouldn't enjoy teasing the fuck out of his partner.

all of this is to say........................ if hasn't figured out his dom potential yet, i sincerely hope he does because i think it's such an obvious fit for him.

#honeyhotteoks update #another yunho manifesto for you #i just am so brainrotted for this fucking guy #yunho hard hours #yunho hard thoughts #yunho #atz

I think the key is that on Tumblr we get much more control over curating our feeds. So we CHOSE our mutuals and the people we follow, and by extension accept their emotional support blorbo. Those things have been picked by real people, so it feels like a connection we share.

However on a lot of other social media, we're subjected to The Algorithm that tells you who you should be paying attention to.

And like...and lot more of the posts are suggested rather than the people you follow. People (particularly guys) report Instagram won't stop showing them nothing but thirst traps unless they aggressively curate their feed. I went on Facebook the other day after a long absence - i mostly post photos there via Instagram to share with relatives overseas, and my MIL.

And I was surprised at how much junk was on my feed. Groups I never followed. AI crap. Dubious click bait stories. It was a struggle to actually scroll to see what people I know were doing. Not to mention the ads. It feels barely usable. I don't know how to make it less...irritating.

tumblr is such a different animal than other social media platforms for so many reasons obviously but one thing i really find funny about it is how on other sites if i see something that doesn't interest me i don't follow or don't like the post. but on here if someone i follow starts posting exclusively about something really niche that i have no interest in my reaction is never to unfollow. its just part of the natural environment. like oh mutual is now really into pro wrestling? ok i guess ill be seeing these guys around now

Towards a Unified Theory of Conspiracy Crank Politics

I've been thinking a lot about what seems to drive the person I will call, for lack of a better term, the conspiracy crank world-view, and particularly, my feelings about the great crank realignment.

A lot of people have said, "It seems like 30 years ago conspiracy weirdos were pretty bipartisan people, but now they all seem to be Trump loyalists."

My belief is that it's not that the conspiracy cranks became more right-wing; rather, it's that the Republicans have largely stopped being a right-wing party and are instead now a conspiracy crank party.

So, I've said this before, and I'm not well enough read in the history of conspiracy thinking to bring up old examples, but as a kid I subscribed to Skeptical Enquirer, and I remember quickly coming to two conclusions:

The reason a lot of the alien conspiracy X Files stuff is so interesting in fiction is that talented fiction writers have used it as a jumping off point to make an interesting story; the primary conspiracy literature is often very poorly written, not very inventive, and frequently openly bigoted, which leads into my second discovery,

A lot of times there is only one degree of seperation between "Big pharma and modern living has severed our spiritual connection to our earth mother Gaia" and "The Jews run the world with the aim of keeping the white race enslaved". Like, the far right conspiracy people were often really willing to ally with and break bread with the far left conspiracy people, and vice versa, in fact much more so then the more grounded parts of the left and right.

And I think that's because the conspiracy theorists have a kind of common mindset with certain shared features, regardless of the specifics of their conspiracy.

These are things that I have noticed as commonalities, and they aren't limited to conspiracy cranks; in fact, probably the vast majority of people have these habits of thought to some extent. My argument is that they are often abnormally strong in conspiracy believers.

Belief in a just world. A lot of fringe types have a really strong belief that the world is fundamentally just, and that in the ordinary course of things bad things do not happen to good people. Bad things only happen because a personified force arranged for the bad thing to happen. The example I've used before is slipping and falling off a ladder. Many of us would attribute such a thing to pure chance; some people will take it as evidence that a witch or a demon has cursed them.

An extreme difficulty with feeling out of control. It is hard for them to accept that in some circumstances they may not have control. Things which make them feel like they are no longer in control are very often interpreted as hostilities against them.

A severe difficulty in actually putting themselves in another person's shoes. Often, the conspiracy minded person is incredibly judgemental about others, and particularly, they really, really struggle with the idea that something might be easy for them, but difficult for someone else, or difficult for them, but necessary to help someone else.

Like I said, we all have these habits to some extent, I just think they are often magnified in the conspiracy crank.

As an example of what I mean by these thought patters, I am in the middle of a podcast reviewing a crank movie about how germs don't cause diseases. And apparently, in this movie, they first have a heroic interview with a restaurant owner who not only never required his patrons to wear masks, he actually banned any mask wearing on the premises.

Which is followed immediately by a scene of a person getting kicked out of a store for not masking, and talking about how it's incredibly shocking that what should be a matter of personal conscience is being enforced by the government.

And there's just no sense that there is any hypocrisy or tension here.

What I mean is, a principled libertarian might say, "Each individual business can require masks, or require you to take masks off, or have no policy, according to their individual decision, and we should allow them to make those decisions and abide by them."

Another principled position might be that we have extremely compelling evidence for the pandemic, and maybe certain kinds of policies should be temporarily enacted to slow the spread, even though they infringe on what would be, in ordinary times, important liberties, because they serve to protect the collective greater good.

Either of these positions sort of takes it for granted that a choice that I, personally, might not fully agree with might still be important to other people.

But the crank mindset says, "I don't want to wear a mask. So forcing people to wear a mask is an imposition on important freedoms. But since I'm already comfortable without a mask, forcing people to take their masks off isn't any kind of imposition on anybody's freedom, that's ridiculous."

You can see what I'm talking about most clearly in certain right-wing Christians. I've seen Christians say that freedom is exactly the same as following God's will, and that disobedience to God is a form of bondage and slavery.

These habits of mind are not, themselves, partisan; the can be applied to any cause, right-wing or left-wing. I might just have easily brought up "Free speech doesn't mean tolerating hate speech."

But I would argue that the reverse is not true, that you can build a political party that caters primarily to people with these habits of mind.

These people tend to flock to politicians who simultaneously promise a strong government which they can borrow to reassert their sense of control in the world, but the actual specific politics of that government are squishy and malleable.

The government has to be strong and able to domineer others because the conspiracy crank understands that they are in opposition to some large portion of the population, and so the government has to be strong enough to say, for example, "We will make sure that no private business will kick you out for wearing a mask."

When the world feels out of control, the government will lend you the tools to reassert your control over the world around you.

But the actual political goals of the government have to be extremely vague and malleable, so that they can move quickly to maintain the illusion that good people don't ever really disagree about this stuff.

A government which is coherently committed to a libertarian project might well say, "Sorry, those businesses have every right to decide who they cater to."

You have to be a weathervane, once a majority of cranks decide that vaccines and mask mandates are bad, you have to swivel and take that position in order to maintain a sort of illusion that whatever freedoms your crank audience wants in the moment are inherently sensible and that no sane person could disagree.

My argument is that Trump has turned the Republicans into the crank party, the party that signals to cranks that it will have their backs, whereas thirty years ago, the parties were still committed enough to coherent political goals that neither one could make that promise, and so cranks had to be politically idiosyncratic.

a palestinian journalist and father of three has had the tumblr account he used to advocate for his family terminated without warning, in yet another act of censorship against palestinians on this dying website

my dear friend siraj @siraj0 has had to remake his tumblr several times with several different emails over the past several months because of unjust termination and repeated shadowbanning. there have even been instances where his account was restricted mere hours after it was created. this has all severely hindered his ability to promote his family's survival fund, which supports over twenty people in his family, including ten children, through a genocide. he cannot maintain his online audience or connect with others on this site if he is terminated. it is clear at this point that tumblr is trying to silence him entirely.

which is why i want those who see this to share, not just this post, but posts by siraj himself on his new blog, @siraj0. he will continue to advocate his family's survival on this blog.

today is 04/16, the anniversary of the Untamed’s booting ceremony and start of filming. i will be sharing an essay and story of their fandom journey by one of the OG bjyx fansites - 限時狂想丨0805x1005.

you all know how much i appreciate fansites and everything they do for the fandom. it’s also interesting to see the thoughts of someone who had been a cpf even before the drama was out. a person who was there from the beginning and is still here and active. their love for the boys is so inspiring 💛 this site is pretty popular cause they funded wuji road among other things.

personally, reading this really made me reflect on my time in this fandom. i have evolved from posting about cpns sparingly & answering fan questions to being an update account then archiving and constructing timelines. to editing and focusing on their careers with bits of political discussions as needed. to now, what i’ve been doing lately, is bits of things i have done in the past. it made me think about why i’m here and still am. that it’s not solely because of the candies and the proofs. although it started with that, it’s not why i stayed for years. it’s truly because there is something about GG and WYB that i connect with. them as individuals and moreso as a pair. in the past months, there were a lot of noise and distractions that made it hard for me but reading this was the perfect reminder that i needed to recalibrate.

i also think this piece answers the usual hate comment of so/os who tell us to “move on”.

the flowers are the same year after year, but the people are different year after year, fortunately there are always people who stay with each other and remember each other in their hearts — so this memory will always have weight and will never disappear.

let me just cry 🥹🥹🥹🥹

anyway, the full post is below. enjoy! and cheers to all cpfs. 🥂

"Yibo taught me two dances yesterday"

By chance, I was browsing Weibo and saw a video of GG at the airport.

In the video, GG mentioned that DD taught him two dances, which was amazing. That night, the names of the two boys kept coming to my mind, and I got up and stayed up late to catch up on many of GG and DD’s materials.

I have to thank a few fan-made clips that I happened to see at the time, which made me see the infinite magnetic field and huge possibilities between these two names, and the attraction that was like fate to me.

"I want to hunt with you at night all my life"

This was the first Weibo post after the website was launched. The picture was of GG and DD leaving get off work at night. Although there was only their backs under dim lights, they still tried to share the light captured in the corner with everyone, so I had a limited-time fantasy.

Before that, I had hesitated about other website names, and the process of finally choosing these four words was also full of many uncertainties, whether it was the suspension of work caused by some changes in the crew of The Untamed during that period, or some bad speculations and comments about The Untamed and my brother and younger brother on the Internet. Now recalling that time, I was standing at the starting point with fog in front of me, and there were too many unknowns ahead that I couldn’t see, but I’m glad that I chose to move forward, holding hands with you, and walking through the fog to see the distance.

I often see people joking in the comments that I have hidden a lot of good things. Indeed, there are some photos of the crew that have not been released, because many scenes in the same frame are similar, the clarity of the photos is not enough, and the requirements for the photos are usually high, so they will be carefully selected before they are released. If you are willing to see it, you can catch yourself and shake it when you have the chance in the future...

"Xiang Mei"

I remember that in the beginning of 2018, the fans all called me Xiang Mei. After the filming of The Untamed was completed, the circle that was originally lively during the filming began to gradually become deserted, so I made a tacit agreement with everyone that I would post some Weibo stories on holidays, either holding hands or standing side by side. I want to tell everyone in this way that brothers and sisters are very good, and stay with them for a little longer, a little longer.

Actually, 2018 was a very meaningful year for me. Every time I shared GG and DD’s activity pictures and videos on Weibo, I would read the reposts and comments back and forth. At that time, the number of reposts was very small. I would be happy for a long time when the number of reposts exceeded 100. I can still remember the Weibo IDs of some of the people who often reposted and commented. Sometimes I would chat with everyone in the comments and answer some questions. After a long time of ordinary days, I was surprised by the increasing number of comments, reposts and private messages after the show started, and sometimes I was in a trance. How did I suddenly become everyone’s "Xiang Mei".

Now there are tens of thousands of people following the footsteps of GG and DD ( she is talking about fansites here ) . Maybe everyone has some special feelings for the 18-year-old station, but Limited Time Fantasy has always maintained the mood at the beginning, as pure and passionate as everyone else. If there is any difference, it is just that I am a little luckier than everyone who came later, and I saw GG and DD earlier.

Everyone in the big family of BJYX supports them in different ways, output, charity, support... It is really a blessing to like the brothers and sisters with everyone, and I will work hard to live up to everyone's higher expectations in the future.

"No. 85"

In May last year, the DD participated in the official motorcycle race for the first time and won the first place in the qualifying. I was already looking forward to seeing DD standing on the podium. Fate still played a little joke. When DD started, his car had a problem and went back for repair. After catching up with the player in front, the car gradually slowed down at a bend.

The stubborn little lion got off the car and pushed the motorcycle to run, but finally had to terminate the race. There are always regrets in the cruel competitive sports. The 22-year-old rookie racer still has a long way to go. Later, another race came in August. Zhuhai was scorching hot in midsummer. Driver No. 85 changed into a new racing suit and raced round and round. Although I was holding a camera, every time you whizzed past me, I was behind the camera screaming for you and happy for you from the bottom of my heart. "Congratulations to driver No. 85, Wang Yibo" The audience burst into cheers and and applause. Champion driver No. 85, you deserve all the glory.

"Satisfied"

In the autumn of the year before last, GG released his first single in the true sense three years after his debut. He sang it for the first time at the concert the day before his birthday. You were red on the stage, and the whole sea of red in the audience was for you. On the night after the Hangzhou concert, I was sorting pictures in front of the computer, and suddenly I saw a screenshot of Weibo sent by a friend. It was the first Weibo interaction between the GG and DD after the filming was completed. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. It turned out that they didn't stop contacting each other after the filming was completed. DD would also celebrate his birthday with GG.

The first solo performance of Happy Camp, parting with Wei Wuxian who always holds his fan, the summer sun in Hengdian has made GG who has returned to modern dress look much thinner, from the small round face with a little flesh on the cheeks to the sharp features and the belt that is always tied to the last hole. You chew a piece of bread 37 times, which gradually shows everyone the strict self-management of a mature male artist, but I still want to tell you in my heart that it is not excessive to eat a few more small breads.

The first real red carpet, the look on GG’s face when he said “Hello everyone, I am the young actor Xiao Zhan” still often comes to my mind. The boy who said “The power of growth is my satisfaction” in the secret garden became more and more confident and free under the flash, completing one adventure after another of growth. I have always felt that GGis the most gentle boy I have ever seen, and he has given me a lot of strength.

“2018-2019”

In the New Year’s Eve of 2018, GG transformed into Zhang Xiaofan and filmed in the crew. Even in the deep mountains, he told himself with a sense of ritual that 2019 was going to be a good year. On the other side, the Hunan Satellite TV New Year’s Eve concert had passed midnight, the finale guest ended the performance, and the audience left one after another. DD, as the host of Hunan Satellite TV, also had a performance song. At that time, his fans were not as many as they are now. When shooting the stage, the little sister behind me was also wondering, “Aren’t there only hosts on the stage?” Looking at the empty seats and the ribbons scattered all over the ground, I thought that more people would come for you in the future and stay for you after midnight.

In the New Year's Eve of 2019, on one side, the three stages of GG performed at midnight, and on the other side, the whole audience was screaming for the water stage and motorcycle ring of the younger brother. In different cities, more people shouted for you with full love, and you brought an extremely shining halo to end the past year.

However, there will be regrets in a perfect story. The expectation of spending the New Year together at the end of the year did not come true after all. I hope you will spend the New Year's Eve this year.

"The Untamed"

I saw all kinds of news on the Internet before, and I felt that the broadcast of The Untamed would be far away. When the news came out before the broadcast, I still didn't believe it until the double Bazaar cover. I thought maybe it was really going to be broadcast. I saw the news on the morning of the official announcement and felt that it was going to be broadcast.

From Tianjin to Beijing, from Bangkok to Nanjing, the pot was boiled for a long time, and the young man was sacrificed many times. At the end of the Nanjing scene, the brothers said "goodbye" as Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, and the big screen showed "see you later". The scenes from the filming of The Untamed to the subsequent activities flashed through my mind, and tears flowed down in an instant (of course, the hand holding the camera was still steady).

The story of the brothers and sisters about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji has come to the final chapter. Everything this summer is so unforgettable. I don’t know when and where we will meet again, and what the scene will be like... The mountains remain unchanged, the water flows forever, and their story is yet to be continued.

From 2018 to now, there have been many hard and tiring periods. When there are many activities at the end of the year, I am in a different city almost every day when I open my eyes. Sometimes I have classes the next day, and it is common to fly back and forth between two or three cities on the same day. I have made a lot of efforts and attempts to balance my three-dimensional study and life.

Like everyone else, I often feel stressed, but every time I think about seeing GG and DD soon, every time I check Weibo and see everyone's dynamics and encouraging words, I feel that there are still too many things in this lovely world that are worth my efforts.

A lot of stories have happened in the past two years. These days, I have been looking through the records and recalling them bit by bit... It has been years since the start of filming. Thank you Chen Qing Ling for letting GG and DD meet again. This drama is of great significance to them and too many of us.

A few years ago, I went back to the filming location of The Untamed and walked around again. The pillars of Cloud Recesses have been painted with other patterns, the familiar figures have long disappeared from the woods of Baifeng Mountain, and the Mianmian House has changed several waves of residents... Walking along the track of memory, I sighed that as the saying goes, the flowers are the same year after year, but the people are different year after year, but fortunately there are always people who stay with each other and remember each other in their hearts, so this memory will always have weight and will never disappear. Every important day in life is like a box of canned food. Love is the best preservative. Beautiful memories do not deteriorate, allowing us to fantasize about them repeatedly from time to time, and the shelf life is forever.

It's time to chatter again, and I start typing and writing down the stories of the past year. I often count on my fingers on the "Boxiao Calendar" in my phone. How many days are left until the next anniversary? I flip through my phone and recall what kind of mood I was in at this time of year in the past. Excited, nervous, moved, sad, year after year, past and present, all kinds of fragments always come back and forth in my mind on this day, and the sense of ritual in my bones always drives me to do something.

I often see everyone's various team-building activities and envy them. I have always been chasing stars offline alone and wanted to participate in a turtle carnival, but unfortunately missed it due to personal reasons. Later, I heard from my friends that everyone sent a lot of gifts. I was really flattered.

Thank you for your support and love. I often see people commenting about cooperation with other sites. In fact, I also sigh that many pictures or videos are very beautiful. I also have a lot of pictures and videos saved in my mobile phone that I don’t want to delete. The stories told by everyone together are more complete and moving. However, I have very few people who share the same responsibility in the three-dimensional world. Most of the time, I run around alone. So I am very happy that I have met many new painters in the circle online this year, as well as Xia Xiazi and Xi Xizi, who have fed me a lot of cute peripherals. Here I would like to say thank you to everyone again.

There will be more anniversaries of all sizes in the future. Some people say that it is difficult to keep the original intention, but memory and love are always the best preservatives.

In my opinion, charity is a way to convey love, and it is also a very precious part of this circle. GGvisited Wei County without anyone knowing in advance to help with poverty alleviation. I also squatted on Douyin to grab charity shirts for a night. Later, I continued to see various promotions for agricultural products. While supporting charity, I can also understand and taste various high-quality and low-priced agricultural and sideline products.

At the Hunan Satellite TV's charity event to help farmers, while filming the cute little brother with Chibi Maruko-style hair, he was also busy grabbing agricultural products. Everyone in the family said that the oranges were so delicious! After work, my brother participated in the free clinic. Even though he was very tired and took a long car ride to arrive in the early morning, he personally helped the patients who came for treatment.

A trickle of kindness lasts a long time. On weekdays, I will learn and check a lot of information, hoping to follow my brother and younger brother as an example and do more practical charity. At the beginning of last year, I was worried every day under the cover of the epidemic. The fragility of life was in front of me, and safety became the most important wish. At that time, I thought in my heart: I hope that every blessing of charity can return to GG and DD, and I will be safe and worry-free.

We have received feedback from the charity work we did before: Hope Primary School is being built step by step, the AED equipment donated with the help of Chongqing Red Cross Foundation has been put into use in my brother's alma mater, the hearing-impaired children have successfully undergone surgery, the Love Classroom has been put into use, and the action of helping students has received many thank-you letters from children... I feel very happy when I see these. Love makes every charity warm, and openness also makes every love traceable.

In my eyes, 2020 is also a year of hardship and harvest. Due to various reasons such as the epidemic, various activities this year have not been so smooth. There are true and false news about my brother flying all over the place. I have run to a city several times to wait in vain for several days. It is really sad to feel that my expectations are not met. Whenever I think of that period of time, I feel wronged and distressed for everything he has endured, but I can't do anything about it. Fortunately, he came back, step by step through the fog, and tried to stand in front of us.

When we said goodbye, he had a neat short hair. As I watched the figure gradually become clear under the spotlight, all the emotions came up in an instant. I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was in. I tried to look more greedily, but I couldn't control it anymore, and let the tears blur my eyes. He was still smiling and singing under the spotlight, and it seemed to become brighter. Every word of the lyrics pierces my heart. I will run to it with all my strength. Even if it is far, I will definitely reach it. The screams of the two events separated by a year are endless. Everything seems to have changed and it seems to have not changed. I will cover my face quietly when I am shy, look around and gesture the numbers half a beat behind when counting down, and I will still be scared by the popping fireworks... Every familiar little action made up the vivid him in front of me. If DD in the past was described as a bamboo, then he is now a pine tree. He has cut his hair short but has become more resolute and proud, and he is still upright. It is no exaggeration to describe DD as a model worker in the past year.

After a full schedule, he coughed lightly to avoid the microphone on the show and his foot injury was occasionally discovered. I dare not recall the most anticipated competition. I was ready early that afternoon, wondering if the light would be too dim, and which copywriter would be more suitable if I won the first place... Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, and the girls around me began to sob. I couldn't see the broadcast screen, and I could only hear the voices around me, "Fall" and "Last lap".

At that moment, my mind was confused, and the first thought that came to my mind was: I hope I'm safe. I don’t remember how long I squatted on the roadside with my camera. Later, when the crowd was almost gone, my tears slowly fell to the ground. I ran back to the podium unwillingly to take a few photos and stood there for a long time. The kid in street dance returned to his stage, and he could light up the whole audience every time, dazzling the audience.

Looking back on the time when Captain Xiao Wang was there, it was the big and small injuries on his legs and the compressed sleep time. He said that the superpower he wanted most was invisibility, so that he could do what he wanted and go out to play. So I really liked the summer surf shop last year, which gave my brother a chance to breathe in his busy work. Sunshine, beach, waves, the boy with sparkling eyes, the vigorous vitality all over his body, and the happiness on his face that could not be hidden, is my favorite look of him.

That year's meeting was particularly difficult. Every moment before the Starlight Awards was over was full of unknowns. It was not until I stood on the familiar roadside of the Youth Olympic Games and walked along the long path by the river that I felt it was real.

After going around in circles, I returned to the familiar place and met again in the place where "See you later" was once written. I couldn't help but sigh that the fateful fate is really wonderful. Sitting in the venue, watching the familiar light signs light up one by one, screaming and shouting with all my strength, telling them all the thoughts of the past year, telling them that we are still here, always here; it is another Weibo Night of the year, and I can always find them at a glance among the crowd, and witness their growth and glory together.

It is not easy to meet among the countless people, and I am very grateful to be fortunate enough to witness the node where they meet on the road of life. They are on the stage and we are off the stage. It's great to be the same as before. During this period of time, people, things and objects are undergoing tremendous changes all the time, but everyone has not gone far, and they are as determined as when they first set out.

Like everyone else, I can proudly tell everyone that my idol is Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo. Their positive attitude and qualities are my confidence, and they are also the driving force for me to take off and land again and again and run forward. For me, Bo and Xiao are a piece of moonlight that I stole by chance in this ever-changing world. "The moon is far away, and the moonlight is close." I work hard to collect moonlight and illuminate a small inch of the world. We have followed them, felt the bright sunshine, blown the sticky sea breeze, seen the ribbons fall on their shoulders, and looked forward to seeing them again with tears in our eyes.

Love is as common as breathing, taking root and growing, and entwining every summer. Time has no end. In the hustle and bustle, love is eternal, and memories are immortal.

At this moment, the sunrise and sunset in Hengdian, the ebb and flow of the tide in Beihai, the years are still long, slowly becoming romantic, slowly becoming brilliant.

"I hope it will be good news from now on"

-END.

are we (saw fans) connected, i swear my interest was waning as i did other things. then suddenly the saw fixation hit me like a truck and now i see you posting more

we're all psychically linked, yes. that was actually what saw xi was supposed to be about– revealing john kramer's psychic powers as he forms a hive mind of acolytes to his cause, setting up traps all over the world– but lionsgate didn't want people deciding that just because they shared a psychic bond with other saw fans, they were entitled to create their own saw traps. so they canceled it.

#shitty saw traps #saw franchise #mod amanda #unreality #welcome back to the fandom!#join the sad circle for saw xi my friend #i do think a fringe reactionary movement adhering to john kramer's ideals would be a good plot for a saw movie though #right next to my 'jigsaw fan blogger who doesn't take the traps seriously gets trapped' idea

Title: I don't want to talk about this.

"I'm asexual."

"I don't like talking about my sexuality. Not in the no one will understand me woe is me way. I mean there's truth in that most won't relate. But mostly it's just inconvenient. I guess I should feel lucky because my family tends to leave it alone. They're more concerned with unmarried cousins who are almost thirty. I still get all the classic comments about 'giving it time' and 'being young. As if I wouldn't know by now. It doesn't help that everyone reminds me that I look far younger than I am. I am a sexless being to them, which is fine by me. Except sexless isn't the word I would use to describe my experience with asexuality. I don't like talking about this... because I don't know how to feel about this facet of myself. Or what it means for my future. The unknown is uncomfortable..."

"First, let's get the clinical shit out of the way. There are a lot of misconceptions about asexuality. Mainly that asexuals don't have sex, or that we don't want it ever. While this can be true, asexuality exists on a spectrum within a spectrum, meaning you can be gay, straight, bi etc. and also be asexual. Asexual simply means that an individual experiences little to no sexual attraction. This is also separate from Aromanticism, which is the same thing, but with romantic attraction. It is possible to be one without the other. For most, sex and romance are tied together but they aren't inherently combined but that's a whole other thing. I personally experience elements of both but don't bother with micro labels for my own sanity. I've wasted too much time on labels. So, in laymans terms, asexuals do not feel the attraction part of sex or it is at least very rare but this does not equate to not wanting sex at all. The best way I can think to explain it is the analogy of eating cake. Asexual people do not 'crave cake' but eating it can still be enjoyable, some asexual people might be neutral to it- like a take it or leave it situation- while some might outright dislike it. The nuance of asexuality is often hard to describe. For instance, Demisexuality (one facet of acespec) describes only feeling attraction after forming a strong emotional connection. This sometimes confuses people because it is normal to only have sex with those you connect with. The core of this misconception lies in the distinction between sex and sexual attraction. Asexuality describes the lack of sexual attraction, not the amount of sex an individual has."

"I grew up in a 'heteronormative queer' household. I acknowledge the contradiction. But I don't have a better way to articulate it. My childhood was split between two households; One queer, one straight, both nuclear. From a young age, I had outwardly queer friends. I was aware of the social stigma against queer people, but to me, queerness didn't feel much different from any other relationship. In that respect, I led a sheltered life."

"Entering middle school brought an abrupt change in house sex was presented to me. No longer was it this vague concept, but rather it became something rapidly tangible. For the first time there was pressure to understand, to enjoy sexual content. To participate. With the internet at my disposal I went from knowing nothing to being exposed to hardcore pornography. To say I was uninterested would be a lie, but I noticed my own curiosity did not line up with my friend's interest. I was simply emulating their behavior in a vain attempt to justify my standing in the group. Through it all, I felt isolated. As if I was on some other island entirely."

"I have since made several friends that happened to share similar experiences to mine. I did not seek them out, but I am forever grateful I found them. Still our society is built around the idea of a nuclear family structure and a part of me still yearns to fulfil that in some way. The idea that I will end up alone haunts me."

"See, here's the thing, I love romance as a genre. I love the feeling of reading a really good romance novel. Or watching a great romcom. But then, after I am left with this hollow feeling inside. Reminding me that I will never experience this. Forced to live vicariously through this fantasy. But this idealized form of love isn't real for anyone. And that soothes something in me. I don't know if I'll ever have even half of that. Logically I know this is okay. But it doesn't feel okay.... whatever. I'm tired of this edgy ass conversation..."
